105: Pill-Poppers

You have no idea how stupid I am. You have to tweak the get out of it. You're. Hello and welcome. Episode number 105 of unrelenting Live on the mighty No agenda streamed live on and completely unfunded for today. The boost. The grams are open, Jean. All right, well, that's we've been funded for a long time, so it's it's probably not a bad thing to have one episode where we can speak the truth and that be beholden to our advertisers. Yes. Whoever they may be. Yes, whoever they may be.

And if they protest about us speaking over them and things like that, they'll screw them. We do not have any overlords. No, no advertisers. They're just people who donate. Not even any under Lords. Another Friday. Did you check for them? They're under what they called the underwear genomes. The underwear. Now that was a southpark bit. I've been watching. It's great. Now that their seasons are like five episode, you can watch a season or two. Yeah, I think. What's this all about?

Yeah. Yeah. They've really slowed down production. yeah. Yeah. I think they're, they're, yeah. They don't want to work too hard. I think their schedule currently is. We'll come out with an episode whenever there's some kind of disaster that happens. It, it has to be the easiest show in the world to make at this point. And one, the graphics are not good. We this is they have not changed. Right? Right. They're actually done in 3D but with two D models, which is interesting.

But you would think by now they would have an A, I just do the whole thing. It's pretty damn close because, you know, they have at least one video game, maybe two out, but for sure, one that I've looked at and that video game looks identical to the cartoon, like you're literally moving temperatures around in the cartoon, which means if you could do that for a video game, you can now just program an episode. Yeah. Like put Cartman and Stan in the stands room ad But they do that. Kyle Exactly.

It's yeah, I mean, they are topical, they're always enjoyable. The last episode that I watched was the adult one. yeah, I saw that. That was hilarious. And it reminds me of why we're not on Onlyfans right? It's like, wait, this is I don't I mean, but really, I guess what else is it for guys? And it's like, it was hilarious with the wife's. Like, I could do either. Yes, that's. That's the guys. Podcasts are for guys. Only it for girls. exactly. And the same thing.

One makes money, the other one doesn't. But pretty much them. Yeah. And the what makes Yeah. When Sharon said that, that she's tired of Randy doing this and she could make one, so. Yeah. No, you. yeah. You try with like 4000 people immediately. Like what? I mean, the fact is we have to watch the episode, but the concept that his whole idea for Onlyfans was basically doing a podcast with a schlong hanging it out, that that was pretty much the God said, Wait.

Hello? Hello. How's that different from protest? I guess Not different at all, except we like video. No, no video, No Internet stuff. Yeah, you don't want that. You know what? People are going to have to go into Onlyfans for that. That's extra. Yeah. And nobody's paying for that. I know. Absolutely nobody. Nobody's even paying for this. This is true. So I guess what's the difference? Yeah, I really. We are transitioning to Onlyfans as we speak. We might as well. My ad is. So how have you been?

You're just another Friday. Just another Friday morning with a brand new Taylor Swift. Very into drop for the new album. Coming up now, of course, that makes total sense. Genius marketing, baby. The amount of albums sold, although the media is all in on starting to take Taylor down. I've seen a bunch of articles now on how a lot of her fans want to sue over the crappy merchandise and the horrible customer service that they're getting from Universal Music.

And I don't know how anybody surprised by bad customer service. My parents had my nephew and my sister over and they were going to do a pizza, so my sister went to pick up the pizza and they had pre ordered it, you know, like, you know, a lot of these places like you do, you get up at like eight in the morning, whatever it is, you could do it the day before, like I want this tomorrow at 1230 because it's their lunch hour. We got to have it there and get it and boom, be ready.

Ended up waiting for over 45 minutes. So my mom called and complained and the woman, her only thing was. Yeah, but I'm here alone. I've gotten that, that before for similar reasons, but that's not an excuse. You know, you're running your business poorly. Yeah, Yeah, exactly. That's. It's not an excuse. It's a statement of fact. Right? Like, I'd like to help you, but what do you want me to do? I was here alone.

So the fact that you ordered your pizza in advance and it was a 45 minutes late, I was here alone. Yeah, Yeah, exactly. So I've had that happen. But worse, I get the order from, first of all, Domino's, which is not exactly a small company. Pizza shows on screen has left the store. Right. So that means it should be here in a few minutes. Domino's is like, a mile away, and then 45 minutes goes by and no, no pizza and nothing. So I call the store and the phone rings forever.

Finally they pick up and the manager says, Yeah, this is magic. So you're I have a pizza order. And it left the store, according to your app, 45 minutes ago, and I still haven't seen it. what's what's your name, Address and what's up? Yeah, that should be going out soon. Wait, let me go out soon. So it didn't leave the store when you left the store? Yeah. No, the computer sometimes just. It says, you know, that the wrong time. Like, okay, so it's going out now.

So I should have left with the guys, like, on comes back like, yeah, let's see, we actually cancel that order. Let me cancel that order. It didn't come up. It looked like it. Me? Yeah, we just understaffed. I'm the only guy here right now. man. Leaving the store. You're. You're canceled is like. Yeah, Sorry. Yeah, sorry. You're not getting your food. We may tell you you're not getting your. I'm like, Well, I. That's not good. Then what? You know, what do you want me to do as well?

If you come out here, you can pick it up yourself. So it's like you have people to make it. You just don't have somebody to deliver it. I'm like, Well, I mean, I could that really what I ordered, though, it's What do you want me to come out and help you work, right? You need me, right? I mean, I used to work at Domino's when I was 16. I could probably still flip a pizza or two. I could totally with a pizza. Dude, I was a kick ass pizza flipper, like, come on. And I get to this.

I drive out there, right, because I want my pizza. Yeah. Certain things you just can't live without. No, no. Well, not when you're in them. You like you're expecting already. Okay, There's a difference. Like, if I knew the store was closed, I wouldn't have heard. But since I ordered them, it's like, Goddammit. All right, fine. I'll drive up there. So I drive out there. They haven't started making my pizza. I'll be like, For fuck's sake. Well, you didn't think you were coming out.

my God. This is the customer service level that one can expect today. yes. I have the exact cli. Exactly. Am I in fact, relating this? The story from my first day when I was 16 of Domino's Pizza. On the first day there, they just had me answering phone calls because that's how you store pizza and then putting in orders. So then I didn't do anything with the food and the bribe it or anything.

I was just learning the phones and sometimes they came instead, you know, giving me an order for three pizzas and and we were super busy. And me being an honest person back then, at least I said, I'd just to let you know we're running or, you know, we're really busy right now, so we're running a little late. So the pizza might be like 35, 40 minutes because there was a 30 minute guarantee. And then I get the manager walked out. So I need to it. Yeah. What's up?

So did you tell somebody that our pizza was going to be more than 30 minutes? I said, Well, yeah, that's because that's what the drivers can be in there saying. And he's like, Yeah, you never say that. You never tell somebody that pizza is going to be more than 30 minutes late because there's a three minute guarantee. And the the store owner just called to order pizza or the owner, his wife. And you told her it was going to be more than 30 minutes. And she's pretty upset.

She wants to fired like, see you later. Yeah. Yeah. And and and the guy and I was obviously like, what the fuck? And the guy is like, well, I told her your first day and, you know, you weren't properly trained and explain in away. But boy, that lesson you remember like 40 years later, you never say the pizza will be late. There's a fucking guarantee. But it say nowadays.

Yeah, I guess they don't tell you it's late, but they just cancel the order that takes them totally off the hook for the 30 minute guarantee, I guess. Well, they got rid of those because of the excess car accidents. yeah, I can understand that. And I was one of those. nice. But it, it was. Yeah. It wasn't. What, you think I was on duty for Domino's. I was on duty, officer Duty. I was driving back with dough. I went to the dough warehouse. Is that what the kids are going to take now?

That kind of dough? So I literally had a station wagon that was full of pizza dough. And. And I was sitting there right at the store waiting to turn into the parking lot, and I got rear ended by a Pizza Hut driver. Well, that's not bad enough. You got rear ended as a Domino's guy. no, that's a pizza. Yeah. Yeah. The pizza wars of 2004. Yeah, 2000. No, more like 1980 something. And it was I mean, my car got totaled and it's not my pizza. Well, it was totaled, so it didn't really matter.

That smell like. Well, but, you know, I didn't have a car for a while. Right. But that's not a good thing. It was middle of winter, it was freezing cold. And of course, we had to stand outside as we talked to the cop to fill out the forms because God forbid, somebody had enough of a brain cell to walk into the pizza or into the Domino's, like 20 degrees away. That's probably about zero all nights. Yeah, Yeah. I remember it being very, very cold the moment that I was like, Why are we outside?

So, yeah, pretty, pretty lame. So anyway, that's the story for Domino's and for a while after the accident, they used to get the pizza. But at some point, I guess to get pizza, I guess. Yeah. Even when it's free, man. And yeah, it seems like it was free. Ever since you had turned excited, you've been robotic a little bit. I don't you know you're having a pain most or I Yeah I've noticed you've got a little bit of that as well so maybe I don't know what.

Well, settings look great, but I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe it's Zoom not zooming very well. Maybe it's an AT&T outage that's channel worked around. It could be. Yeah, I did see like what you know problem enabled you know, unencrypted connection live stream. Well, I'm assuming that's what you. no, not unencrypted. I know that's not good for a live podcast that's being publicly broadcasted. Right. Exactly. Let me turn that off.

I know I didn't even know you could unencrypted decrypt there. I'm assuming that was just because you're right. Now, do you send it to ex directly from Zoom or you? I doubt it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's going directly. I mean, that's one of the cool things about Zoom is that you don't even need to be running obs. You could just do it directly around a zoom. You just zoom it out, but then it takes all your CPU. Although you should have plenty with that.

It's on the Mac that's doing literally nothing else and our CPU is a 14% something weird man. Maybe it's just the interface, maybe it's all screwed up. But of course that means you can't reboot the interface without rebooting your your X connection and your and everything else. I can't. I can't reboot Zoom, if that's what you mean. Right? Yeah. yeah, that that is the thing.

If it sounds bad, we can certainly just start and stop it and reboot it because, you know, we don't want it some bad is the way I look at it. The whole thing is like, that's not the product, right? That's the behind the scenes of the product. That's the making of the scene. The scene behind the scene. In fact, it's the only available for about a week until I remember to delete the episodes. It's the zoot. The the X version is not meant to be there permanently.

It is literally my equivalent of the new agenda stream. It's there to be live. It's there to be live. And or if you miss that day. But by the time the episode comes out and you know, I mean, you put them out same day, I usually take a couple of days because of all the heavy editing that I do. Yeah, I mean, so much editing. I mean, g2's hours of conversation and turns it into a six hour podcast somehow. Yeah, exactly. Exactly right. Although their.

my God, dude, do you talk about the podcasts out there that have an ad every 15 minutes? Yeah, I can't handle it. What the fuck, dude? I don't care if the ad read is done by the people doing the show. That's just too many ads. Yeah, that's even worse when it's by the reader of the show. I mean, it's even worse now that people are starting to do ad reads and YouTube videos.

So it's like that, To me, that's a very quick unsubscribe because it's like I paid my money for no ads on YouTube now have exactly. So the minute in the middle of your show, when you come out with, well, let me tell you about Harry's razors or let me tell you about. Well, yeah, I'm not a fan of any ads, obviously, but the ads that happen, like right at the beginning or at the very end. Okay, I can put up with that shit if they're doing their own ad read.

But when they do ad reads and this is true for both podcasts and for YouTube, it's actually, I think, worse than podcasts because generally if I'm listening to a podcast, I'm not near the device or it's like, you know, I'm, I'm maybe lying in bed listening to something as I'm falling asleep and I don't want to listen to ads with fall asleep.

But yeah, some of these guys, like I was listening some of these like comedian podcasts, like, do people not make enough money that you need to literally have an ad four times an hour on a fucking podcast? Well, for a lot of them, it's just their content. well, this was definitely advertising because it is for Harry's razors. No, I know. But they that what they rely on to fill their time. okay. But I let them do a half hour show. Yeah. Yeah. No, because that the ads just.

They make me do what you just said, which is hit the unsubscribe button. Certainly. Mofo wants more poncho ads. Yeah, we're done with those while they're. They're out of stock. Except for direct from dream. So now you need a you need a poncho guy. You go directly to Jean. Yeah. What do they say. Free punches. I any $50 donation. $50 donation. Right to unrelenting You can have a free poncho. Three pack. Was that or is it just. Yeah, it's a three pack. Two, three pack. Yeah. Shipping included.

And by the way, you're going to hit it with 4995 for Jimmy for shipping. No, no, no. I'll end with the shipping. I think shipping is about five bucks and these things or whatever the minimum is that USPS charges, I don't even know what that is. Maybe six bucks, money going up, up, up. They are going, Yep, that's true. And you know what I noticed they're doing? Because the only time I watch commercials is with the racing stuff that I watch. Like the post office is advertising.

Like every freakin break go USPS. It's like improvement for you. It's like, why are you spending money on ads for the post office? Yeah, people already know about it. It's been around for a couple of years. Yeah. Who are you getting? That's like, I wasn't going to send this with them, but now I will. Give me one fucking customer you're getting with a post office ad. And you wonder why the prices keep going up. Yeah, advertising. That's the problem.

The post office probably is their biggest the single biggest expense. Probably is advertising. I believe that. Like I. You don't need to advertise. People know you're there. Know you deliver their mail to them every day. They're aware of the service. Yeah, man. I guess they have a lot of extra money they have to spend.

Although that similar to Washington, D.C., I guess there was just a story that they gave away a bunch of money to the underprivileged, the folks who don't have it, you know, And they let them choose between. do you want like $900 a month or do you want just like a lump sum, 10,000 or something? Now we're talking about drug acts or pretty much, I guess, people that live in D.C..

Yeah. They're finding out that what some of these poor, underprivileged folks did, they took the $10,000 and just had a luxury vacation and that's what they blew the whole amount up. So it makes sense. Something they normally couldn't afford. But this is the concept of, no, we'll help you out. We'll give you money so you can pay for food for your poor children and clothe your poor children. And they're like, Fuck, Dad, I'm going to Miami. well, it's free.

And I mean, all that shit's free. Basically. You just have to know where to give it. But walking into Macy's. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We're an Apple store and pick up your iPhone and they'll be there. But a vacation. Good luck stealing that through to. Nobody can take that for me once you've had it already. It's just it's all easily explained. You're right. Nobody can nobody can repossess your vacation. Now, if you go buy a vehicle, you go buy jewelry.

You go buy gold with that money and the government don't like it. They can come repossess that somehow. Totally. Your vacation shop can do nothing about that. Nope. So maybe this is genius. I'll give that. You can't take it back. No, but I mean, I. I certainly don't think it's unexpected. No, I don't think it's unexpected either.

I think this is the exact reason why you hear a lot of people say, you know, you can't give money to the people begging on the street because they're just going to go use it on drugs and alcohol.

That's true for a vast majority, because a lot of people have done the experiment, I guess, for lack of a better word, where somebody comes up like, hey, you know, got the sign there, just look at go get a coffee, or they're looking to go get a sandwich, or they're like, you know what, I'll take it to Burger King, whatever. Yeah, nobody wants that, right? Value the meal? Nope, nope. Don't you just want the cash like. okay. That's how you can tell.

I mean, I guess if you really want to be good, you could just carry around your $5 Burger King gift cards, but then they'll just go sell those for a dollar so they can get it right. Exactly. That's exactly right. Yeah, I think that's just reality. The new reality, the Biden economy is it's interesting when you're watching now what's going on because of the polling numbers, I guess they're it's all a scam, which is also possible.

But Biden, all of a sudden it's like, no, we got to control this border thing. And it's very interesting because this is a although. Did he actually say that or did he just say we could have controlled the border if the Republicans would have just passed the bill? You're really starting to robot now. Really? Okay. So I don't know if we need to try we starting Zoom or maybe I could just try restarting my can. Actually, you get the same thing on the the other end.

I know the biggest issue that I've had with you is the last time, which is just if you're not loud enough, then it feels like it's like a noise gate is shutting down. Yeah, this is definitely robotic and robotic. Yeah. Okay, let me restart that zoom thing and see if that does it. Okay, let's do it. Leo I don't know. This is the butis livestreaming right here, and there may be no agenda stream. Turns out maybe the zoom thing is not as good as clean feed. Dean swore it was going to be as good.

That was going to be revolutionary. Zoom is so much better, so much cleaner, so much clearer. So far. Not really seeing that. Yes, we are trying to do un robotic that that is the term that is well understood. Join with computer audio. Yes please. And you're still on mute. We are trying to. let's see. Okay, here we are muted now. You hear me? Yeah, yeah. Check. One, two, check. One, two. Trying to see if we can deaf on robot everything. That sounds okay for now. We'll see how this goes. Okay.

All right. But the intriguing thing with what Biden is doing at the border is for all of this time, my buddy Bill O'Reilly's been saying the same thing that it's within the president's purview. He has with the stroke of a pen. He alone can give an executive order that can shut down who's coming over the border. You don't need you know, that's that's not true. That's not true at all. He doesn't need to give an executive order.

He needs to rescind his executive order, allowing people to come through right now. This is the difference here. Well, it's like the default condition is no one comes through. That's what he fucked up. That was an active fucking up of the border by the current president. Yes. Because they wanted everybody to come in. Somebody did the that there was Biden even though. Yeah. Well this he signed the papers. We can at least agree on that much whether he knew he was signing them.

Yeah. The 1952 Immigration Act makes it very clear that the president pretty much alone gets to decide a lot about what's going on. Now, Biden has been telling you, which is all been a lie for three years. It's because of the Republicans in the House. It's the Republicans. They will do anything. The Republicans don't want to do anything. Yeah. So if Joe Biden now today or yesterday, I thought this was supposed to happen yesterday or today, I don't know if they did or not yet.

He is going to do the executive order to undo his first executive order to supersede the other executive order to now start closing down the border. So now why would you have a plane coming in? So this is unexpected, but apparently our lawn mowing crew is mowing the neighborhood right now. Nice is so loud that you can even go through the gate, doesn't it? Yeah, but the beauty is that. Yeah, let's just name this up. So shitty sound.

And that's the same filter that we used on the last episode that got rid of all the bad noise. I'll probably get rid of the lawnmower and people would be like, I have no idea what they're talking about. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, that was amazing. It was a I was crumpling some kind of piece of paper or tinfoil or something right next to a microphone. And you said the filter got rid of it. Yeah, totally. Without me doing anything extra.

This is just the normal filter I run everything through as a final. Now, is this like a built in to addition or is this some third party thing you still. It's a third party thing that I paid for it. I'm sure you did. What do you know about this? that's not bad. No, it's 99 bucks now. It is called. Let me look it up. They have changed. you got the student discount. Didn't you know I was a part of the beta test?

Okay, Yeah. And when they came out, they had a discount for me, and it was a great discount because otherwise now I think it's 99 bucks. Yeah, that's excessive. But it was called clear super tone. The Yeah. So it's super tone Dot I. Okay. And it's the clear voice separator. It's now 99 bucks which even at 99 bucks if you do a lot of Yeah.

I guess if you do enough but dude you know every year I resubscribe to Adobe I so I haven't fucking installed it I'm tempted to cancel because I'm paying for nothing. Why did see? And I don't know, because I have to renew again as well. But I'm looking for the student teacher. I actually found there was somebody that was selling the year the regular version for a little over 100 bucks. So if somebody like you, if you're paying like month to month. Yeah, that would be what you think.

It's like I'm paying like 29 bucks a month or something. The clear voice separator, though, is one of these. That's a very simple, if you don't have a lot of things that you can adjust, it gives you three dials.

The mid dial is for the voice, which you almost never touch, because as long as the voices of the correct volume, that's going to stay and then you have a knob for ambiance and you have a knob for reverb, and what it does with the ambiance is tries to take anything that's not voice away in the receiver, tries to take everything that's a reverb away, but leave the original voice and it does a pretty good job as you found out.

So yeah, so you can use it if you're in a echoey location and that'll do reverb it. Really? Yeah. And the noisy thing is also good, so you can technically do your podcast in a, you know, sitting at the bar and then have this thing if it does the job right, taking away all that extra noise. So it sounds like you're in a controlled environment. Yeah. But as we continue to jump around here now, if you're Joe Biden and you make that change, aren't you admitting that you fucked it up?

It wouldn't do anything about it for three years because you were the one that had the. You can't all of these clips, the Republicans would be morons not to pull every clip over the last three years of Biden, Harris, and every other person in the Democrat Party saying, yeah, the Republicans are the Republicans won't do anything. The Republicans won't do anything because it's like, well, this proves that's all bullshit.

They have dynasties. The Republicans. Yeah, well, when when what they're doing is literally telling Border Patrol agents to not apprehend anybody and to not turn anybody away at the border. How was that require legislation? That's an executive management condition. Like they're telling people, don't do the job you're getting paid to do. Right. That's the this is require legislation to fix. No, that would just seem like it's people not doing their jobs. Yeah yeah.

Because we you know it's amazing we had a border even before Trump was president. I know some people find this hard to believe, but we had a border and some states notably California, we're doing a shitty job patrolling the border because they were basically the Border Patrol agents who live and work in California are the extra liberal type of Border Patrol agents. And so California could kind of push them into not following what their job borders were because they're there.

They'd rather just harass people driving on the highway into California from Arizona, which I might have an opinion on as well. But it's. Yeah, but I don't think there was really a whole lot of problem with patrolling the border here in Texas. I mean, again, certainly there was some traffic flow, but it was it was only in areas that were not heavily patrolled. Right. And then once they found out about it, they would send more people and the traffic would stop and it would go somewhere else.

So what's happening right now, to my understanding, is National Guard keeps being deployed in wider swaths of the Texas border now. And we've got help our National Guard from a few other states. And as a result, the majority of the traffic crossings are now now no longer in Texas. They're actually going through New Mexico, Arizona and California. It's amazing, isn't it, that.

Well, they've long said this is why certain towns in Texas have had much bigger problems than others, because the ones that have a wall, that have things that are blocking people from coming in. Yeah, it's the very simple thing of having any security is going to deter a certain amount of people. So it may seem idiotic because anybody could just knock on the door of your house down if they really wanted to. Yeah, but if your front door is open, a lot of criminals will just walk in.

If they have to break the door down, they're going to. I'll just find somebody who left the door. Yeah, it's. And that was always the argument for you. Remember the club? You remember that product from the car, Right? Right. Yeah. So it was basically this it was basically a bicycle lock for your car steering wheel. And the idea being when the club is on your steering wheel, they can't turn your steering wheel and therefore they can't drive the car when they're selling it.

And I had one of these things and my Saturn, because, you know, everyone wants to steal Saturn. And I had a Saturn back in the day and they got the club for it so it wouldn't get stolen. Well, what I quickly realized is you don't actually need to lock the club because you have to see inside the car. And so they would have to break into your car first and then realize that you had the club if you paid attention to what the advertising shows.

The reality is they can see the damn thing through your windshield so you never have to like it. You have to wear it. You just kind of throw it on the steering wheel to make it look like it's kind of their arm. But there's no point in going through the extra steps and time wastage of actually locking the damn thing because that's all somebody needs.

It's like if you see a car with something like, you know, something visible, that obviously is going to make it harder to steal, then there's no reason to even like the car. Hey, go to the next one. Yeah, pretty much. Now, back in the old days, the fact that you needed a key was a little different. I do enjoy some of the early keyless things that were so easily hacked. That was funny in itself.

But I remember one day going to school down on Fullerton Avenue, going to DePaul University and watching as a woman had her car stolen and a stoplight because, you know, the one there was a car that just hit her from behind ever so slightly. The two guys got out of the car. She got out, start talking to the guy on the driver's side. Take your car. Yeah. The other one went around the passenger side into her car, drove away down low. It's not hard to pull off.

See, that's what happens in a city that doesn't have guns, because here in Texas, if somebody tries to do that right, there would be a dead person in their car and a dead person on the sidewalk. You're like, This is it. I'm going to be before I get out of my car. I'm yeah, I'm pullin the piece out and be like, okay, let's talk. Well, there's a there's a question that in non-Liberal Cities, criminals have to ask themselves before they commit a crime. Is, is this worth losing your life over?

Correct. In big cities, not so much, because, you know, like here in Austin, the percentage of people that has guns is probably greater than most cities outside of Texas. But it's probably the least percentage in in Texas, cause Austin's the most liberal city in Texas. Well, I've said this for a long time. You're right, because if you walk into it doesn't matter if it's a bodega, it doesn't matter if you're walking into a macy's.

If the people behind the counter have the God given right, the legal right in that particular area to pull a gun and defend their property and their selves, then you have to ask yourself way more questions as a criminal when you continue to lower the odds of anything bad happening to criminals, how can you be surprised when crime goes up and we know there's not enough police to handle everything?

But if somebody knows legally and there are still some areas, I mean, it's odd that even Washington state where Ryan Ambrose is still has a castle doctrine, which means you're sitting at home, somebody breaks down your door and comes into your house, you can shoot them and you are not going to be charged. Well, you still will be probably, but you have a better chance of of coming out of it without a criminal record, unlike Chicago.

And there were stories this is getting a little better, I think, because even the people in Chicago are getting tired of it. The stories of, you know, you hear the 80 year old dude just minding his own damn business and have three people come breaking into his house and he shot them and they charged him with the possession of the gun. It's like, no, normal, sane people do not want that normal same people understand that.

Otherwise, this 80 year old dude was about to get robbed and or killed by the three people breaking into his house. It's Insane to think that like, well, no, it's his problem because he had the gun. It's like, well, yeah, but the three people coming in also had guns. Was he not supposed to protect himself? Well, depends what race they were exactly. I think they were all black in this case. So which is a majority.

So the in this case, in their Well, in the case that I'm talking about, I think you're correct. And people were making a big hubbub about it with Ann Colter on what's his name show the HBO guy Bill Maher, am saying, well, you know who the shooters at the Kansas City Parade were if they were white? He was absolutely right. And this is the people want to say you're racist for making these comments, but it's like but are they correct? This is not about race.

This is about the way that the media, Justice departments, law enforcement is treating things at this point. Yeah. Or if it's a straight white shooter, you know about it 5 seconds after they do, By the way, there's no such thing. No such thing as a straight white shooter. No, no. There's only trans and black. So straight white guys don't go to jail now. I mean, like Lee Harvey Oswald, I think was the last one. Okay. I didn't know. And allegedly he may not have been straight.

well, see, then that would give him a pass. Yeah. Now, that's it's crazy, but, like, not reporting the race if they're black and then reporting if they're white is racist. Yes, that's right. No, it's no description there. It's like you're treating people differently, exclusively based on their race. How is that not racist? Well, you know, the liberals will tell you it's all about equity. Makes sense. Yes. Right. Yes. Yes. Because reverse racism isn't. Racism.

And the most interesting thing is they have a really big problem. The liberals do at this point, because a majority of the people shooting and committing the violent crimes are minorities. Yeah, but what they also ignore is that a vast majority of victims of the violent crimes and shootings are also minorities. Yep. Yep. So who are you fucking protecting? Yeah, exactly. They're protecting themselves as well. They're protecting their preventing the agenda they've built up saying that.

no, no, no. There's, there's total parity here. It's just no more white people commit crimes and black people, well that's what they would like would they look at. And it's an interesting concept because what the liberals are saying is, well, here in America, the ratio you have of black individuals is is like 14% right now, I think. But they are 55% of the incarcerated. Right. So we need to make our prisons look like the more well populated. Yeah, exactly. Let's get all those Asians in there.

Right. To be more fair, rather than. Well, who's actually committing the crimes? Yeah, You know, this would also say, let's just pretend for a minute that black people never committed a crime. Well, you're out now saying that we need to find at least 15% of the prison population, even if they've never committed a crime, because that would be the only fair way to go. that, you know, fair isn't about what's fair in life. Fair is about making sure that it looks fair. Well, this is it.

You can now be a mass murderer you're convicted in. They're like, let's see, you're white. What percentage do we need for prison? No, you get to go free. We don't. We don't need one of you today, whatever you are. We've got our ratios exactly right. Everybody's happy. you're. You're one of those orange hair people. Yeah, y'all. 500 million. Yes. I'm telling you. And no windows up there needs to restart. All right, let's research concealer. Well, you're on the show, so I'm on the Mac.

That's my point is this is so cool that I can now reboot my Windows whenever it feels like rebooting. And matter of fact, the recording. I need to buy a mac studio. I think I saw an article the other day that Windows is talking about studio. I just don't think you need to spend the money. I think you just get a mini. Yeah, but I do enough audio processing like I would have to see. I have to look up the third generation Mac Mini. Yeah, sure.

It's probably like ten times the power of the previous generation. I know, but you know they seven Mac mini for me between two either another, you know it's windows or it's Mac. And if I going Mac I want to be able to plug in three monitors to do that. I can't do it with the Mac mini without another like $200 device. Well yeah that's not even strictly true. And God forbid I try and save your money, but you could just me money. That would be good. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, you can send me money. You're the one getting that. But yeah, the well, from all of them, donations are getting the. The thing that you want to keep in mind is you're not using these monitors for gaming. No. And 3D design shit. So really you got your main four screen monitor that's plugged into the Mac. You can, you can plug in the other monitors in through USB. You don't need to have the HDMI in there.

From what I understand, the Mac mini out of the box only supports up to two monitors unless you buy another splitter device. I know there's a few companies that make them that you don't. You don't need a splitter. No, you just need a USB monitor, not a monitor with a video input. But the USB is basically it's got this on video card, but I don't think the Mac mini allows you to do that out of the box. Yeah, you can have some of those if you want.

No, they just don't hack. It's just you plug it in and it just works. Hey, I've read enough on it that says it can't do that. If you can prove that it does, that would be Yes. I'm happy to send you some stuff. Yeah. After the show because I think you're worried about something that is a non-issue. But I also want it to be nice and snappy because when I do these to our podcast, which I. Yeah. Do every 2 hours I of every day. Yeah. And I record that by Yeah. If you makes a buy the damn thing.

I'm just saying I don't think what you're saying this time it takes what's put out there. my, my man, my computer just rebooted and decided to start talking because why not, right. my God. Use Microsoft browser settings. God no, I don't want anything out of me. Like, yes, blitz the docks. I mean, those are the things that can split two different monitors. But I want to know what kind of time the difference.

And it may not be much between the Mac Mini and the Mac studio, but I know with a two hour or so podcast that I am doing in FLAC or WAV and then running through all of these, the things that take all the bad noises out, it can take an hour for it to run through all that.

Where I would look at what's your current, what do you, what's your processor it is and i7i think in this one I mean that's a pretty decent how well that's that's a better question like two years I think more than two years now this one isn't I don't remember you talking about doing buying in your computer two years ago. This one is is fairly current. I remember when I got it, but it's within the last couple of years. How do I tell where and what do I pull up on windows.

What's that? Forget the system. Well, the best way to do it is to download an app called the Z's CPU. It's free and it shows you all the info about your stuff. You in there and memory and everything. I use the lark Advisor. Two thing that works.

Anyway, my point is, you know, I've got a what was at this point three years ago I bought my computer as a gaming machine, so a high end machine, I think I paid 3200 bucks for it and my Mac mini is significantly faster, which is sad really when you think about it. And it was. But it's because what it is 600 bucks it's what it is optimized for. Yeah. It's not faster playing video games, that's for sure. But it's faster in doing things like processing video.

I have an i7 10,700 CPU at 2.9 gigahertz. Yeah. So since theory. So I think they're in the 14 series right now. So you're four series behind. I got 64 gig of Ram. Yeah that's good. That's that's one thing where you do pay quite a bit more money on the Macs because the ram is soldered on. Yeah. They want like $1,000,000,000. They, they want $1,000,000,000 for that memory.

Now this is like their marketing goes overboard is basically saying you only have to ram on the Macs because they're so much better. The reality is the more ram you have, the better. That's true of any computer system. I don't care what you're running, but what I will say is the operating system on the Mac definitely takes way less memory than than Windows does. So out of a 64 gigs of memory on the p C Windows might be taking like eight of those. Yeah, right.

It grabs a chunk on the Mac. No. What's running. Yeah, on the Mac. The OS might only take a couple of Macs or gigs. Macs, I wish it was Makes a couple of gigs. So it's, it's a more compact operating system, but certainly there's no way that 16 gigs of RAM is equivalent to 32 gigs. RAM, which they talk about in marketing. That's just bullshit. Yeah, this I got this January of 2021, so I guess it is hitting three years old now. Yeah, because we've been doing the podcast for about two years.

They don't remember us talking about you getting a new computer. How ever time flies, man. I'm telling you. Yeah, yeah. So it's. Yeah, I think you should do it. And the, the side effect of that I think will be that you will figure out how to use demo two on Mac the way you want to. And I don't want to have to figure it out Like this is what you really want. You're like this. You can figure out how to buy a mac to go get shit or yeah, well, that's what you did last time. I didn't have that hack.

And so you gave it to me, right? Like you could. I was like, Damn. I just saw you have to have software that just sees all the channels built in, and then that's. That's all you can use. Like, okay, I guess I got to use a, you know, a addition for recording everything because that, that sees all the channels on the multi, on the PC.

You figure that was before everybody was doing the multi user podcast in through things like clean feed where you had to have, you know I was great doing podcasts and having a Google voice number that you could give and have live. Collins I mean, it was really kind of neat, although the quality of call it. Yeah, yeah, quality is kind of shitty, incidentally. So I was recording the third episode of my searching speaks with the new guy, right? The black dude, he's black. He's I, you know that.

I don't see that. Well, I know you don't see color, but I would hope you would hear. So of course, we'll see. That's what you do that you're going to see color anyway. What was fascinating is I sent them the specs for the podcasting setup because, you know, he just used his phone of all things and Zoom meeting and the phone and then and a Bluetooth headset, like a perfect recipe for practice for right.

And and I said, well, you know, it would definitely sound better if you had if you have professional gear. And he's like, man, it's a thousand bucks. I don't know if I went 12,000 bucks. And then he listened to himself on the livestream is like, Man, I sound like shit. But yeah, well, anything I've been telling you, right, Right. I said, Well, that's Darren said, You know what? You know what? It was really that it came in via a phone.

It was not like it was just slightly off, which is people are very used to still hearing that, which I'm always surprised. I mean, I have it listed within the last few months. But when O'Reilly calls it the Glenn back, which he was doing every Friday, it sounded like a phone. It's like you fuckers have the technology that they do to connect with a much better sound. But I don't know if they beat the radio. It just likes that's the people on the other side know what somebody's calling it.

I don't get it. I've seen that quite a few places where people are literally sitting next to a professional microphone and they're talking on their phone. Right? Why are you doing that? it's like, What the hell, man? They gave me a phone number. And, you know, if you want to if you have to use your phone, first of all, don't use the phone networks. Don't call use the phone like for a Zoom meeting or something.

And then if you really wanted to, you could pick a level of your headset that plugs into your phone. Dude, you can it'll sound infinitely nicer for the any of these for the Apple devices especially, you can pick up the device or you can plug in an Excel ah microphone into a into one of these devices doesn't have to be the full blown MOTU but any thing that converts it to USB and then just plug that right into the phone. Yeah. Like you have to have the whole I recommended.

I recommend that you just get one of these little little mo to do or whatever they're called, you know the ones that the cheaper version the MOTU twos and fours. Yeah. Because if either it you'll never need to worry about doing multi-channel recording showed that you were trying to do right. Most people never even think most people know. And at least for that I don't think I will ever do that

though I've had this MOTU since it came out obviously. But if I was to get a new one, I don't know that I would need to go for this one simply because the software, the method I use for recording podcasts has been changed to Zoom.

But even if I wasn't using Zoom I still prefer doing things like Zoom Caster, which we did for a while, because then Caster records both sides and now distribute the software they use for editing that has they bought another company that was a competitor of them Caster that I can't remember the name of ever, but basically they've got their own service that lets you do podcasts where it records in the cloud, each individual person's conversation directly.

And so I much rather just download the audio files than rely on real time, you know, monitoring and making sure all the levels are perfectly fine and nobody's a little too loud, nobody's a little too quiet like crap. It's like it's I don't I don't really think there's a need to do that live anymore unless you're streaming, right, Then that's it.

If you're streaming and you need to do some of the processing where you need to do on the fly or you need to do leveling on the fly, which yeah, a lot more people are doing the streaming now. So I mean, it makes yeah, a lot of them are doing, you know, YouTube or the other one. The Yeah. it's interesting Russian national was just arrested in Austin by federal task force. shit. Did that do they put the story out before they got to your front door? Hit me. He's a friend of this hell.

Just send this to me. Have you looked at your ring? Doorbell. Cam. What's that noise outside? That I thought it was a lawnmower. I it was a helicopter. Could be. Hey. All right, Go, go, go, go. Back. Fake podcast. Say fuck Yes. Got to go. There's no Craig. Craig. Fact. Yes. Craig Fox. This is what happens when you don't encrypt. Pasco has a the high end back studio for 3799. Yeah. Do you really need to spend that much. No. What's a law and go for.

I don't even know what they're I know they're like twice on Mac Mini right. Yeah. The low end of the studio is 1949 from Costco where you although the Mac mini when they have the high end Mac mini is 1149. So there is some some juggle in with. Yeah it's never easy because the product prices are all similar. The cheap one is for 9999, which isn't bad.

I mean I bought one that's even cheaper than what I paid the, I bought one at one point and then was like, shit, I can't plug in the monitors I need. So I returned it without even had taken it out of the box. But it's $0.49, 5 million and website now. It's a show for 9999 for the. Really. Yeah. That's pretty good. Eight gig of memory 256 ten SSD ten core CPU eight core CPU. That's insane.

A ten core machine for 499 brand new with the warranty that says 3799 is about the same price as a dozen eggs and a gallon of milk. Right now that's not far or or a gaming PC Yeah, gaming PC Yeah. I mean the nice thing is it's a write off because technically I'm a podcaster and I do claim the money that comes in. So if I spend every penny that I that comes in for the podcasting on a computer, then I don't pay taxes because it's a write off. I mean, that ballpark.

Sure, I have a professional tax guy. I go by what he says. Good, good, good, good. yeah. So I just I got something that was clearly related to my business dealings. Yeah. Occasionally people asking questions about, like, prepping. Sure. I mean, how many ponchos do I need? Much food. Do I? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I had to, you know, for testing purposes, mind you, I had to buy a thermal vision system to see in the dark. Yeah. And how did it work? Yeah, I don't know.

It's going to show up Monday or Tuesday. We will find out how well it works. Given dark. It's pretty well. Sure. Jogging. That's. That's exactly right. It. It looks pretty damn impressive in the videos. I mean, it's basically predator vision. The Wandering Knight says I am sure missing third Gene and a yes and his tame wild animal videos. Is that what you used to post on? I still post to my max. I just posted a bunch of bear videos on there.

Yeah. That tell them to just subscribe on X and help you know get all the all the bear and other critter videos that you can imagine. Let's see deer Wandering 19 is a bear. He wants you to message him on that. I get that right. Yes. Yes. And you give him the only fans out there, right? Yes. Yeah, absolutely. The only thing he got bringing in cash. That's true. That is a true story. In fact, let me let me just move some stuff around more. But there you go.

But I mean, Barbero says a mastodon is the bird site for Cox, and that may be true, but I'm noticing the number of people that are using the new no authority social dropping like a stone. Well, yeah, of course, dropping like a stone.

I think somebody would also pointed out something interesting that I tend to agree with, which is that the No Agenda social was perfectly good until Adam announced that they're they've got a bunch of dead accounts and they're going to delete and purge those and then open that up for new and the new battle started coming in. Yes. And the new people are came in and that's when things started going downhill.

But with anything without having a some kind of level of knowing who is coming in, you have to assume it's going to be bots. It's going to be trolls, it's going to be people that want to spread whatever they want to spread and to assume otherwise. For a while, when it was brand new, that original surge of people that came in were the rational firm, right?

And it worked as it may have been back on Boy and probably so vaguely and that but I know it's totally the antithesis of what the Fed reverse is about. But it would have worked a lot better had they not opened it up to the rest of the world. Had the feeling that had you not been federated, was it just an individual instance that didn't go any further than board?

Right. It would have worked a lot better, Yeah, because what they did is basically and I'm not saying they did something wrong, it was free for us, so who cares? But it basically became Reddit. Yeah, well, as the internet is want to do, it all goes down and I hear it all. We got to keep that potassium level up. How is the cardiovascular system? Are we monitoring this all correctly? Your sugar levels? Good. I've started taking potassium in pill form. You know something? Suddenly? I don't know.

Maybe there is a reason to go get a a medical degree because nobody fucking tells you anything. You know, as far as, like, for years I've been taking vitamin D because my vitamin D, like 15 years ago showed up as low in some tests. Same here. Doctor said, take it. Yeah.

And then in general, there's been more of, like, recommendations that well most people are deficient in dish probably started just finding and supplementing indefinitely so I've been doing megadoses and thiamin D forever and then you know, you hear about things like gallstones and some calcification around different arteries and stuff that are exacerbated by the Heidi And then you come to do some fucking research and medical websites, you realize, okay.

So if you have a high intake of vitamin D without potassium, you end up having the calcium. It gets. What's the term for it crystallized or whatever, basically. Yeah, it washed, it like comes out of your it turns solid.

Right. It solidifies. So it precipitates you have precipitation of calcium if you're not getting a sufficiently high level of potassium because vitamin D potassium and calcium all work together, it's like, well, motherfuckers, first of all, why aren't you making vitamin D pills with potassium in them? Secondly, at least have the people telling you to take vitamin D tell you to also take potassium in the K two? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that is potassium. K2 is potassium. Well, there you go.

So they do make them together. That that's what they do. I haven't seen that. Well, you're the one that told me to get vitamin D with K2. Yeah, I told you that after I found out. Yes, but you got it as a single product. Yeah, I have them in two different. I have two different bottles now. You can get it now, at least. Now supplements are the ones I get them from. I don't know if other people make, but you can get the.

Now, I don't know if it's the the same dose that you're going to want because once I started doing all the research when I was having the harder Yeah, yeah. I also saw that megadoses of the vitamin D didn't cause that although that you see other people saying it could help that so good luck with figuring out which. Yeah well you got to take some vitamin E along with it. But that's why I lowered the dose from like 5000 a day to, like a thousand. I think it is now. Kidding. Really?

That's really low. Yeah. No, I do. Usually 15,000 a day. That's weakness, weight too much. No, no, that's appropriate here. Jean died live on a podcast. No, it's just now I've learned that I need to also balance that out with the K2, you know, so that the and and I eat and not intake any calcium whatsoever because I get a sufficient amount of calcium from eating meat which, you know, I wasn't sure if I was getting enough calcium. I certainly don't want bad bones. Right.

So no of course I was I was drinking a lot of milk and yogurt and other dairy products that have a lot of calcium. And and I and I was like, well, well, I was very calcium high calcium time because I'm not getting enough magnesium. Well you could pop the nature made d3k2 It gives you a 5000 IU of the D three and 100 M.S. G of the K two. Yeah, well, that's good. So that gets you the potassium. But then you also need magnesium. I take those twice a day. Magnesium, baby.

you do? Okay. I noticed I have no manganese. Is magnesium? Yes, magnesium. Yeah. Okay. All right. I don't know if is. Why? Because I was taking the magnesium in the maggots, which is a solid tablet, and then they didn't have those the one time at the grocery store. So I bought the mag out as a gel cap and for some reason started getting migraines again, even though it was the same dose allegedly of Magnox. It's like the delivery method. Maybe important.

I think it makes a difference in absorption because the the pills generally don't get absorbed until further in your gut. The capsules get absorbed immediately out of your stomach, which makes it so they may not stick around, they may not get to the same well capsule, just a liquid delivery method. Yeah, which is nice for you basically drinking it too. So if if something if you're a little sensitive to something, you may be better off with a tablet over a liquid version in a capsule.

If you need quick acting, then you go those gel caps. Yeah. And then one thing I don't know from this is more of a by the way, I think we've had a majority of our bingo card. Yes. I also point out this is not a medical show. We are not medical professionals. And none of this should be noted as medical device. No, and never. But we do take a lot of pills away. We're pill popping. Sounds a bit. We are pill poppers all the way, baby. Yeah. So I was talking about allow education.

You need some of that B12. B12? Yeah. I don't take B12. I don't know, I. Maybe I should start with. B12 is the best method of delivery for that is actually only it's it's sublingual the only speak one language I mean they speak multiple languages, but I don't I enjoy sublingual delivery of vitamins. You know it's it's through an eyedropper You put them in your I know you they're sublingual you don't put them in your eye but you use an eyedropper. Yeah. Yeah. You put them under your tongue.

That's what that means. I love when I do that kind of stuff to people on the set of verse. No, you can't be that stupid man. I'm pretty sure you could be right. You have no idea how stupid I am. How dare you? Yeah. So it's not the great delivery because your mom. I'm either going to overdose because I'm going to, like, just like, you know, not care about measuring how much I'm into, how many drops. How about the whole damn thing? That's. How about that? You know what a nice easy.

I don't want to overdose method. Yeah. And then the other method that works really well is intravenous. You know, that means. Yeah, yeah, that. Just check the needle right on in your vein, man. That's right. That's right. And the problem with that is it's not pleasurable like it's it doesn't feel good, but you get the full effect right away is if you ever. Have you ever done that previously. You really feel it immediately? I have.

I mean, I've gotten the only thing what I was in for the migraine. They give me up magnesium intravenously, so. It's amazing the kind of stuff they have ready to put right into from those little bags. Yeah. Yeah, well, it's mostly sailing. Yeah, but there's a little bit of drugs in there as well. The fact that you can't really do most drugs that way because it's too high a concentration all in one place in the blood.

So it's, you know, it's going to take a while for it to get dissolved throughout all of your blood. But when you put it in in other ways, like through your stomach or sublingual, they the amount of time that it takes to dissolve means that it's fairly evenly spread through all of your blood. That's why they have to balance it out tremendously with sailing cotton gin, says Jean. We get it. You're smart. So, I mean, I think you're listening to a different show. Cut. Yeah, I think so.

I because I mean, you should have gotten that in the first episode. So what the hell are you still doing here? You're welcome to episode number 105. Finally realized. Wow. Genius. Smart. No. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I'd be more you know, I'm not saying I'm smarter. I just play a smart guy on TV. Yeah, he just plays the role. Yeah, you should hear him on. It's not a podcast. Totally different. Yeah. my God. Totally. The gene filter kicks in. I become a valley girl.

Like, totally, totally tubular. I wonder. Think that's still a thing? Is there are some valley girls? I haven't heard that in any. I mean, if it is, nobody's using it in movies or television shows. Yeah. Somebody current. It's interesting to see though that kind of, you know, the accent and the just the verbiage used, how these things quickly change, which I don't know what it is today because the kids today all to just communicate nonverbally.

So I don't know if this is even a thing, you know, is there a is there a certain way that the youngsters talk now? Yeah. Well, they definitely talk funny. Little faster. Weird words they've created out of thin air, which always has happened, I would think. I think we did. That is our generation as well. I think that's true. I, I'm not sure where it comes from because the the vocabulary keeps changing. But nonetheless, kids always do have their own little vernacular that that that's nonverbal.

You mean like fucking. No, I mean, like not fucking, but just texting each other while not sucking or fucking or fucking. Right? Or they're texting somebody else while you're fucking with nothing. Says I'm totally into you as much as you know, having the text while. Yeah. Makes it a lot harder to finger bang did you go through if you're going to text. Jesus Christ. Here we go. do we get kicked off of sex yet? I'm waiting. I know we still on. It's amazing. I mean, this is true.

This isn't YouTube so. It's a little different. Yeah, it's. I think you can. You can probably livestream a KKK rally and ex. Have you tried that with your Texas Klan? No. No, I should do that. Yeah. You know, one word that because I don't think we've talked about it because this happened in between the last show and this show, I did stumble upon a word that ex I don't bands. I saw that tranny. Yeah, tranny does not like the word tranny because I was literally describing

I was it was a joke post. Sure. It was about an actual female or who I was making fun of for looking kind of tranny. See I thought for sure you were talking about the transmission of your vehicle. That's exactly what I meant. And cause that's what the word trannies always referred to. And in my world anyway, and there was there was there was nothing that could be construed as being, you know, anti I woke in there.

It was it was literally using that word as a joke, not threatening violence, not doing anything else. Nasty. Right. And then the tweet gets flagged and I get an email message saying you're breaking terms of service and don't do it. And we're we're not get your your post will not be shown. And I'm like, what the fuck? So I posted another one. I posted I forwarded literally just forwarded that tweet. Did an app Elon Musk do it. And the forwarded message also gets flagged

because it still had the word tranny. So. And then what happened to the world? We could be like, Hey man, my fucking tranny has given me problems. I know fuckin tranny. Yeah. Have you thought about replacing it? You know, it's hard to get a fucking good tranny. Yeah. They are not cheap. They're not cheap. That's. That's what I've heard. They can cost you an arm and a leg. True, but. But a good tranny is worth the money, man. Yeah. You want a tranny that's going to hold up for at least 10,000?

20,000? I can't wait until this is text in the in the show notes and then it's indexed by Google the transcript or like a lot of tranny talk on this show. Yeah tranny that means transcript Brett Yeah or transmission it could only mean one thing to the ultra woke Lib tard who want to take away your free speech loving. We got any trannies out there? Woo! And if what you do, that's great. We love you we want you listening to the show. If you donate, we will get more tranny talk. Interesting.

What's interesting? I'm going to send you just like the a list of usb-c monitors that will work. Yeah. That way I can have a mac to have as many you want, man. I'm telling you what I really want to build. Although you know how much money this would cost. It's insane. You think the apple costs a lot? Building a a new Windows machine with the video cards that would run stable diffusion quickly would. Well, yeah. It's a gaming machine, so it costs about four grand minimum.

Yeah. If you don't want to add like the second video card to increase. yeah. Well the you know, if you really want to do that there's only one video card yet and that's the 4090 and those are about 2000 bucks apiece. I guess it's still a lot cheaper just to rent the time online or with the IRS to do that. But why do you need to? I don't know. It's a fun hobby I like. What do you what did you think of the image of our podcast that I posted?

obviously, I obviously now the artwork that I won no Agenda with yesterday was totally I mean, of course, because it was in a meta type thing. But the one you posted, let me pull that up here. It would not fool me as far as being a photograph. There's no doubt that it is artwork. It's. But it's meant to be artwork style. It's not meant to be photo realistic. True.

I mean, again, this is the it's basically the thing it was I was looking for was a post-apocalyptic podcast recording with two fat dudes. That'd be two fat dudes. Yeah, that's what you had to have them. You got to say too fat the other way. Is it for the ultra skinny kind of look?

You know, that was an interesting concept because I was looking for different prompt ideas for stable diffusion because there is a language to itself, you know, different keywords that will give you much different looks and. I saw somebody complaining about not being able to generate a real looking person. Yeah, that didn't look like a model. Yeah, it was just like, It's amazing, isn't it?

Which is leads you completely down that other path again of, the girls, they have body image, they don't feel they can measure up. And all of a sudden you have these new things where it's just like, create girl. And it's like, wow, that's a supermodel girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the fact that it can't create. So let me let me show you a picture of me. In ten years or three year, you would see me and yi yi yi looks a lot more realistic. They knew that one. Hey, now I got a six pack.

Yeah, it's strange. I like the microphone in the picture that you created. I like the fact that the dude's watch looks like it's made out of wood. Yeah. Yeah, it is. The hint. It's funny that he's using a handheld microphone where there's a really nice, you know, very steampunk looking professional microphone sitting three inches away. Right, Right. Well, and it was using the simple steampunk filter now, which which system did you use to create?

There's only one that'll let you do the type of stuff I was doing that was the Gabby. interesting. Yeah. Now I will say the Gabby AI is a little gay. I found that out empirically because of the imagery that it returns by default. You have to tweak the gay out of it. You're like, it's right there. There's a code opener. There's got to tweak the gay right on out of it. Yeah, exactly. I'm still sending images. It's the good old there's the good old boys. It's a little it's a little a little muted.

It is a little. Okay. Yeah. And that's. Wow, look. Little gay. That's more than a little. Yeah. Is that like, that's an action here. It tugs at my eyes are up here. Well, that's interesting. The the latest thing, the uniforms that Major League Baseball just had done. I guess they're all different this season. They're being made by a company called Fanatics, which is owned by Topps Baseball Cards.

And I guess the material is so cheap, they're saying you can fucking see the guy's junk, which maybe that's just a whole new draw for another type of person to watch baseball. Maybe you're just getting it out there. Well, I guess we got all kinds of women's watching baseball now, don't we? If MRO says ugly girls don't post a lot of selfies, which is why that's very true. That is very true. But then again, how do you know they use filters, right?

Which is why it's much easier to push off a fake a I girl now on the world because. well, that looks fake. Well, they all look fake. The real girls look fake already. They totally look fake. No, just give me. I know people can't see this, but what do you think, little Jay Z? I think that if you didn't type in like Dukes of Hazzard this one, then I think this is all what Gabs is giving you. This is all Gabby. It's all gay. It's of it's it's basically like nowhere do I specify gay as a word.

It just it's default seems to be to provide you with gay. What if you ask for women? Does it provide a lot of lesbians? no, no, no, no. Actually, that's a very good question. Somebody else asked me that as well. It's like, dude, why do you keep looking at your you're this is Ben was saying this last night. I was telling him some of these pictures like, dude name is just looking. Yeah. Is it just looking at your your search history. Right. That I would figure this out new.

So I'll send you one more here. They're just barely there. Just. Just to prove how gay it is. And again, like not asking for anything gay related, That's what he gives me. However, when I did specify a female. But there you go. Based there there are it does a pretty good job of that of disturbing images. Yeah, well, if you're looking for a fiery redhead, you got it there. That's pretty much really Did I use as a text? Give me a hot redhead. I'm like, if I'll take that photo.

Realistic, which is not it's not meant to be. It's cyberpunk. Cyberpunk, baby. That's everything's in cyberpunk. So all art from that except for the except for the gay Dukes of Hazzard will be. Yeah, the Gay Dukes of Hazzard. It's a disturbing I may end up creating a post on there that shows shared some of these, but it just occurred to me yesterday, as I was, I kept getting not quite what I was looking for, which is, What are these? You're looking at them from?

Like, again, again, again. But not did. Yeah. Again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not gay. Right. And and then turns out the air is a tranny who doesn't understand what you're asking for. The most ironic hilarious part of it is. It is literally the most conservative air that exists right now. The gab i i Somebody must have just had a gay old time.

Yeah, well, jail time. Yeah. Somebody must have thought it would be hilarious if instead of gab it would say gay and they didn't let the client know that they made that change in the code and, and now it's like, yeah, use our air. It's the most conservative of all the bunch. It's going to be, you know, very accurate at creating images that that are not censored. They're not going to be woke. They're not going to be politically correct and they're all gay. It's only gay.

You want gay, you come to. Maybe it's because I was doing superheroes, I don't know. But then The Dukes of Hazzard, things get to be like, Yeah, I don't know. What about superhero necessarily, says Gay? come on, please. How about starting with the outfits? Okay, to be fair, I don't watch superhero movies. Yeah, I don't either, because I don't watch gay porn. I read a lot of the early Spider-Man comics, which to me doesn't scream gay because, you know, they were done back in the time before.

Are you kidding me? Spider-Man is probably the best of the bunch to come on this whole superpower is jizz comes out of his wrist, you see? Yeah, That's because he's been doing, you know what, nonstop as a teenage boy wearing skintight clothing. Mary J. Morning all over the place. Turman is just sporting that Is it. Has he ever fucked Mary Jane? I don't think he did. She died. look, because they're just friends. These are gay friends. Gay frat, right? Totally, I guess.

And it was Spider-Man is so gay. It wasn't just that. It was from an earlier time they actually made the new Superman dude gay. Like the son of Superman who was like, Yeah, that's not sexual. That's right. That's right. Because in their world of Krypton, Kryptonian or whatever they always call planet Krypto, everybody's by. Yeah. Blitz points out almost all the comic stuff now hella gay which is why you know one besides having the one I blow. Yeah. So it's a lot less fun trying to read comics

or anything. It's you remember when Saturday Night Live had the ambiguous, slick gay duo? I don't remember the the gay do I remember they were this part. None of it was a it was right around that same time or maybe a little later. But they had a cartoon of two superheroes, and there was two guys that were always in positions that seemed a little too gay back when Saturday Night Live had balls and could actually do stuff that was so it was gay back when they had balls.

I mean, the way that guy gay is a little gay, I guess. Yeah, you better have the balls. I think that would probably be helpful, I would imagine. But Gary, I don't remember that. That that isn't Gary. Really. That's what they said the names maybe were okay. Yeah. And that's that's kind of where I was going with this whole thing of that. Where's it? I think it's on the top. The cartoon version, right. The cartoon style. It's like it's like the ambiguously gay trio. I, I don't think I ever saw it.

I only have. So it's I literally just sent it to you. And it is where do you stand? Because I don't see it. It was the third image. Dan was the only one. That's a cartoon. There are some other like photorealistic. the one with the two black dudes in a white guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't look too gay, does it? No, not at all. Yeah, they're a little too much, like, arms around each other kind of thing going on.

Although all of your recommendations after Idiocracy are questionable trolls, I'll tell you that much. It's another hour. I can't get back in my life. I think you lost some some fans when you mentioned that the accuracy was not a good movie. Could the answer on the other side of that whole thing, I have people blocking me left and right on the ferry. I finally got Aaron Burr to block me. So I consider that a win. He blocked you.

Really? Yeah. Because you were bitching too much about not being able to export? No, because I just wouldn't agree with him on anything. It was funny because, I mean, I. I have a very simple system. I very rarely will call names. I'll very rarely, you know, get into that. Even though everybody else wants to pull out. You must be retarded. It's like, well show me where I'm wrong.

You know, that's he's been just crying that I've been telling people it was his decision to take down no agenda social like. But you said it was your decision. So if I knew you didn't have a soul and I'm like, dude, what a good burn I don't have. you didn't have a soul? No. Well, you're Irish, naturally. You don't have a soul. Everybody knows that. I know. It's like, what a good bird, man. You're my hero. I don't have a soul.

so you're saying I once again, which I've done many times in my life, have managed to be ahead of the curve. I'm pulling out of something. yeah? yeah. Well, I'm. Yeah, If you watch, you can see how many people have been active on an instance over the last 30 days that has been going down already from just when he started up a month ago and basically dead. Yeah, it's dead in the water.

I've noticed that a lot of the people that used to post a lot of like the no agenda artists during the show no longer posting, don't know if they still have an account, don't know if they moved it over. But it seems that a lot of people just what they did what you do they Yeah well that's because it wasn't that much of a draw. What was the how do they get artwork down. Well there is no agenda I guess. Generator. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you don't really need names for that.

No. I mean, really, that was just there for people to have a good time and post back and forth. And I made a comment. I'm like, I love when the free speech guys, because that's what Aaron considers himself. I my post was I love when the free speech guys blocked me immediately Young people like you're being disingenuous with you know that's not what free speech is all about. I'm like, I didn't say free speech was about anything I said. I personally love when somebody that's free speech blocks me.

It has nothing to do with what free speech is. That's like saying, I love when a Cub fan blocks me not making any arguments about the Cubs. I'm just saying I enjoy it. So I'm not being disingenuous. I'm being very. So what can I say? Welcome to the club. I've been banned and blocked on RC now for going on seven years. Hey, I've just unblocked you. We have totally removed all of your sins. Void. Sure you have that capability.

Void zero Wipe them all out so you can now return to the troll room and see all the trolls. Now, I don't believe you. I don't think you're telling the truth there when we do these shows live. And I just thought the biggest irony that Eleanor was willing to block somebody again didn't call him any names. If he's willing to block me, I'm like, If he would have just blocked the people posting the stuff that Adam didn't like and no agenda social, he could still have no agenda social.

But what he was doing. You say blocked. Do you mean he blocked your account? Three block your instance? No, he blocked my account. He personally blocked my own. Like he could block out your whole instance from. Yes. Everybody had no authority. Social. Yes, he could totally do that. And after he licenses up so probably. Well, fuck him, let them do it and everybody can see what he is. No, go ahead. What is? He's a guy who owns a website and he's free to do with as he likes.

I'm on his side on this, dude. I think it's safe hands spending his own money right? And he always has been. And he's pretending that he's something. no, I didn't take it down. I didn't have any other choice. You keep talking about. But you. I saw that one right there. Absolutely. Well, I think technically speaking. So this is outside of like what they wanted to do.

He could have just renamed the whole damn thing and not have anybody leave, because I think Adam's issue was, this is my information. Sure. That could have been done. To be fair, I don't know. With the crappy Mastodon software, if you could just throw a new domain and not break everything. I'm not sure. I don't know enough about it to. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know.

But from my understanding, Adam sold beef was that there are people that other instances see that have a at no agenda social I'm their names that were doing excessive trolling like and trolling yeah like being dicks yes and he didn't like the no agenda social or just no agenda being associated with those people and I'm hearing from both Ben Rose and met mad renaming is not an option. What that was so that. Well what do you mean renaming is not an option? Well, I don't buy that.

What do you mean it's not? In the renaming instance. You can't go into a fucking database and manually change fields bullshit now and have it work, I guess. What do you mean that? I don't know. I'm not a I'm not a dude named Ben Named Ben that understands Mastodon. I it's shitty software. I get that. That's what I may not be good at having a UI way to do it.

But also, you know, I thought people were dudes named Ben and they understand how software works and they can hack, they can make things, do things that are not necessarily intended to be done. So I guess it matters and the way it communicates with all of the other instances. So he could have literally fixed by breaking the connection with everybody else and that would have pissed at him off because I think that was the other solution, right?

It wasn't just to remove the name, no agenda, correct if you want to that right If you unsteady it, if you prevent anybody with no agenda social from ever showing up on anybody else's instances, then that would do it. The other thing that would have done it was the people that were posting the shit. It was a very small percentage. It was a major minority. Rather, if you would have just gotten rid of those people, you would have been golden. So there were other choices.

So this whole idea that, I didn't have any other choice bullshit. Well, I think there probably is a qualifier there with an asterisk saying I didn't have any other choice given that I have a day job. But I didn't want to fuck around with it. No, it wasn't that. You don't think he's got a day job and I would guess he does. But that wasn't the reason why any decision was made. Well, I mean, what you're saying is he could have done these other things.

All those other things require time and effort or, you know having somebody else be like, Hey, anybody want to help moderate? That's what void zero does you think void zero moderates everything on his I.R.S. server which which Erin there started up in I.R.S. server to compete now with void which is funny love it dude. Hope you get a billion people on your I.R.S. server. So I'm not bad on that one. No, you could go you could go under that IRS. I'm totally logging on there.

Yeah. Hashtag surging speeds. Yeah, that'll be good. Yeah. Well, my original complaint to Erin are that I sent them like two years ago or whatever it was. The DOJ never answered. One fucking complaint has not taken anything into consideration for years, at least with me as well. I don't know if you.

Well, I just said, hey, when I signed up on the here I just used Gene M because I was like user number five when random said, Hey, go check out this thing that, that somebody that just set up for me, I was like, okay. And then my and then I didn't show up back up for like two years. And then I finally moved there when that when I got kicked off Twitter. And so I said, So can I change my name to search Gene like at third Gene on the server is like, well, just create a new account.

I'm like, Well, but I have like, you know, of people sub to this account. It's like, well, there's a process to move accounts, but you can't just rename them. And I don't know, that just seems bizarre. The hell kind of software doesn't let you rename an account as a plural, is it? I don't. I'm not saying he's I'm not saying he's wrong on that. But I also think it's like, look, the guy's doing this for free.

I'm not going to expect free support from somebody or support from somebody who's got a free product Like I'm, I, I know enough from having my own stuff that I've written sitting out there and knowing what a pain in the butt is like. I people know by this point I've talked about it, that I've the only development that I've done over the last decade is in games. I do mods for games that I play. By my you mean you sex or fi, all of the avatars that you have to use.

I do not have anywhere near that level of talent. Most of my mods are literally background processes that are running, that are doing something like some kind of calculations or something like they're like Kerbal space. I had a mod that calculated the the volume of interior spaces of a bunch of different parts because. They didn't have those spaces defined and I got sick of manually doing them one at a time for every part of a rocket.

So I just wrote something that would just run and that shit for all the parts automatically and in memory. And then another dude who's a much better programmer and came out with it and said, Well, you don't need to run this every time. So he wrote one that was very did the same thing, but it did it once and then wrote it to a file and then you never had to recalculated. I was not smart enough to do that. And then I had mod for our survival evolved that I did when I played that game a lot.

I actually have multiple mods for that game. I had different food items. I had sushi to the game because how do you have a game without sushi? A course. I mean. Yeah. I didn't do anything without sushi. I don't know, man. I mean, that's sushi is basic survival food. And so what you can do is try fish, that kind of survival food. If you're able to catch the fish on your own, it's a lot better. I'm going to go catch a tuna with my bare hands.

Okay. That's a video. I'd like to see how long this takes. Jane thinks this will take 35 seconds. In reality, three days. So. So you didn't let me finish. So tuna are in the. Yeah, in the Houston Aquarium. And that's the only way you're going to catch tuna is in the Houston Aquarium. But it's, you know, and I when I wrote those minds, I like great I got them to the point where I like what they did there up online for anybody to use.

Next thing you know, there's like 1800 people using one of these models, which of course means there's about 18 people emailing me with shit. This doesn't work, right? Why did you do this way? Can't you change that? Hey, how do I rename my fucking sushi to a different different name? It's like fucker, This is a one off thing that I did for me. You didn't give me any money for this and I'm not going to support it.

And I got so sick and tired of hearing people send me stuff with requests that I just defaulted. And then the description said Sorry, I lost the source code when my Mac crashed and I no longer can update this proactively just to shut people the hell up because I don't need to do it. Another thing, this is going back like 2008. I think I was dark ages.

Yeah, the real dark ages back when I used to do Fortune 500 work and I was I was the main architect for the the bare prize security operations center. So basically the cyber security center at Ameriprise and as part of that, I was trying to combine a bunch of security stats from multiple sources online into a widget or a a simple one screen display. And so I basically wrote something that was kind of like a C URL that just grabbed different sites, passed the text in there.

The HMO just kept the bits that had the data charts and graphs, and then for those looking for and then threw it all together into a page, I mean, total kludge, very much a hack just did it to create this. The, the one of the monitors that was in the in the operations to display this in real time. And again I put it out there as you know ready to use thing and it was running on the card. I'm trying to remember what it was. I think it was some kind of a Google thing.

They had a a deal where you can create these Web based executable things and you can reuse them. I can't even remember anymore. It's been so long. It's like 15, 18 years ago. Long story short, that thing was up running on my website that I have for a podcast I was doing back then, which was called SEQ. This scam has been down forever, so search for it.

And one two years after the podcast stopped being done, I got sick of paying for the website, so I started taking stuff down and so I took down the directory that had the widgets that did the stuff. The past security data. God. I started getting email messages from people. Not an exaggeration. All over the world. I had only one from the US. I had multiple ones from Asia and Australia and Europe and basically saying, Hey, how come this thing's broken this, You know, my fix lies about this?

Okay, so what you just said literally was one of the messages and it was one of the ones from Asia is like this had better be fixed immediately or we're going to sue you because this is being used in a critical operation in our business and you can't take this down without, you know, notification. You're like bull's head of what the fuck did if if that's where you're using it.

Well, how about you hire people that know a little more about what they're doing before they start using three unsupported products from the web, which they hope will never disappear. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So it was retarded. It was literally ridiculous. I had to change the results. Strength to always say you are using a pirated version of this product. So everybody that was still using it started seeing that message.

And so the data they were looking for, like first there was no commercially available product because they never made it. You should have you you like how much you want to pay now is nobody I can pay for it. It is like it's support that ends up killing all good ideas. And Bumrah's can probably attest to this as well. If you can come up with really cool shit that that solves some problem, but then you pay for it. Is no good deed ever goes unpunished.

You pay for it by having people bitch about things that are not working. So this is it's a my long ended version of saying I get it erroneous. Probably. Right. You're probably wrong. Probably. And your expectations should be zero. I have no soul. Well, we knew that 105 episode if you haven't figured it out yet, if people have way too thin of a skin, did you? Gurus says I love the fact we have so much total drama for the No Agenda crowd they created.

Man The crowd creates new media out of nothing. Ben Rosen coined the term and I think it's legit. It's the Curry derangement syndrome. That is a new thing. And it's like, okay, we've all seen Trump Derangement syndrome. This is very similar because there are people I mean, granted, with Trump, a lot of them never liked him.

But in this case it's even weirder because there's a lot of people that were fans, that were producers, that were supporters who all of a sudden they're I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I hate this. It's like, wow, that's a quick change. Yeah, there. And I think this is going to happen to Taylor Swift at some point. I agree.

Because when you have people that start becoming fanatical as some of the folks that are no agenda, you know, fans were, there's only one place to go and that is the opposite side is to have complete and utter hatred. And this Adam's been through this more than once. If you remember listening to a daily source code, Adam had a diesel Mercedes Benz that was converted to run on recycled cooking oil. So he was way ahead of his time in terms of being green.

And it smelled good when that car drove by and it smelled like French fries. Yeah. Yeah. The whole cast. Just because that's what you were basically running, you know, there's used French fry grease and which is the cool thing about diesels and why I don't know why they're not more popular in the US than they were in Europe. My dad had one for years and it was interesting. The diesel station wagon? Yep. Back before they were cool by Ford. I think so. Or maybe an Oldsmobile.

I think Ford is the only one that made a diesel station wagon that had to be a Ford. Then they had to because it was a wagon. He was a carpet rep. So the thing was load it up. This was before these were a thing. Yeah. And I remember there's like glow plugs in it. So in the winter ethnically they, we didn't have the Wagoneer the jeep at the time, The Wagoneer which is a Yeah.

Yeah. And the Suburban we have both of those back then in the eighties there was no wood paneling though it wasn't the the Seventies show otherwise was it. You didn't have the paneling would look very much like that. Yeah. And I remember there were like glow plugs. So in the winter if it got cold enough, those things like wouldn't start. It was very hard to start. Yeah, you had to warm up the, the engine before it could actually run. That's true.

And technically my, my jeep which is diesel still has those, but it works instantly. But then again they call this place I've ever been. It's probably Aspen in that car. Beemer says he just remembers starting from the seventies, not from the show. I mean, you're old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's right. That's exactly right. I I'm not saying the show. I never watched the show. I just remember them being in the streets.

And. No, a gentle millennial of the beautiful MMO show says I'm hearing a lot of ideas today on the stream. See? Well, it's not derangement about Aaron or because I can back up everything I say with facts and anything he has taken umbrage to. I said, Well, just correct me where I'm wrong and I'm happy to then take that further information into consideration. I love when you're trying to have a debate

with somebody like, okay, just show me where I'm wrong. And they're like, Well, I think you having those tests, this Darren can be a dick sometimes. Really just take it into consideration. I mean, what do you why are you asking? Ben Rose I will confirm. I can be a dick sometimes. I mean, I may even say the authority of the time, but I also like to deal in facts and it's like, okay, Jeff, if you want to have that argument.

Yeah. And I think the best way to deal with things that you're wrong about is with humor, because that works like your your you don't think you don't take things personally. And humor can defuze the situation very well and you can, you know, kind of come out with differing opinions. Well, that's what this whole show is all about. Again, Cotton was like, Well, he's on your mind a lot.

I posted a note Streamy My buddy posted something about me bringing the PDF story to Grumpy Old Ben's on Wednesday, and then Aaron jumped into that thread and that's how things got started.
