108: Guns, Porn, And TikTok

No need to worry about what's in my refrigerator. Yellow. And welcome to episode number 108 of Unrelenting where we have not yet relented. I'm Darren. He is Jean. And I can't believe you can no longer access Pornhub in Texas. What is going on with freedom right now? All right. What's going there, man? Freedom, Texas, baby. What's this all about? How is this even possible? And don't they know it doesn't work? Geo locating doesn't work.

I mean, it does if you have zero effort in way and if you have people who have no idea what they're doing and the no, Texas is the least free state in the union all of a sudden because they can't watch the porn hubs for the children. It's all for the children. Well, my dad, the Texas banned that. It's just that they made it annoying. And I. I think it is annoying and the annoyance isn't going to do jack shit the way this is going to get reported on is Texas bans porn.

But Pornhub just said we're not doing what you want us to do, so fuck you. We will pretend we cares what stream. And here's what Texas requires them to do is they require them to prove that anyone accessing porn is over 18. No fight, collecting driver's license information, No freedom right there, baby. No freedom at all. Fuck Texas, Fuck Texas right now. Get out of Texas while you can. Well, I'm hoping that actually has that effect because, you know, Texas is teetering on being purple, right?

You had to get the all those California like to get rid of the California N's out of here. And with no abortion and no porn, how will they ever live in Texas? What did the liberals get the right? Because they don't go out and they don't own kids? No. They want to just sit home and jack off all day long and they're like, What do I do now? I don't get it. But this concept, Texas, come on.

Yeah. Now again, we understand people that that can if you say you want to watch this, you know, you're a great consenting adult while you're going to do this on your phone that will sit your kids going to take your phone and he's going to see it. And then what? Then who is responsible for it? I mean, keep your fucking kids off the Internet. The concept I did, you got onto my first topic. Okay, good. Accidentally. Which is the whole tic tac bullshit. Yeah, well, keep it out.

It's basically Internet. Yeah. Keep your fucking kids out in it. That is right. Because what you're what right now is happening and is being reported on with a straight face by the media as though it's a good thing is literally us politicians yelling at China for not providing the censored Chinese version of tic TAC to the US for the children. It's like, well, though in general it's like, Well, that's bullshit.

Your Tic TAC doesn't have anything but cute, funny animal videos and the has a bunch of crazy teens doing crazy teen shit. Well, that's not fair. We want our looks like yours, China. and by the way, your human rights are violating human rights by restricting free speech. They. What the fuck, man? You can't have it both ways. Yeah, Yeah, right. It let's remember. Yes, the Democrats, when Donald Trump said, tic tac tic tac badge should be banned.

No, no, no, we can't get that. No. Now it's a Democrat saying Ban tic tac. And Trump's like a fast say, I'm I'm almost completely bought into the narrative that I always thought was bullshit about the parties reversing. I'm like, Well, killer happens because it sure as hell it's happening today. All social media is bad. Your children should not be on it. There are horrible things that will happen to your kids. Very likely, yeah. On the internet. Yeah. Now we don't have to give up.

We have plenty of places physically in the world where children are not allowed. Are they allowed in bars? No. Are they allowed on like China. Yeah. Well you don't want to bring your kids to China either. but there are a lot of them. Bars and video of the quote unquote, Karen yelling at the woman that brought her infant to the bar. No, it was then crying nonstop like a fucking violin at the bar.

When people are at the bar doing out with other adults and get inebriated and loosen things up to go try and not make kids. Right. But is it like that? None of that happens when you have a kid that is yelling and screaming and a mother who's not willing to, you know, pull her tits out and see the damn thing right there in the bar? That's at least entertainment. Yeah. I mean, that's legal. So why is she doing that? But there are plenty of places.

I mean, other countries, I'm sure things may vary, but in the United States, I think for the longest, I mean, you may be able to bring your kids now in in Vegas. I still think you can't have them on the floor where the gambling is. I mean, I think there are specific areas they can traverse, but they can't go into most bars they're not allowed into. And I think you're wrong about that. I think that is. That was when you were a kid. Yeah. Yeah.

They're not allowed in just more movies, more general decorum. Now they can't be with adults are not allowed to go into R-rated movies without an adults with them. So why isn't the internet the same fucking way? Because the content of the internet that is R-rated or above. But none of that is the case anymore. Kids can go into the know most of the internet stuff X-rated.

Okay, So if you're making the argument to the Internet, Zachary, I think it's a pretty good argument because it can be X-rated just as easily as one Google search. Yes, because occasionally I will type in the search term and usually I'm looking for movies or shit like, you know, where does this lyric come from? One, two, three, one, two, three movies called Debbie. Then that was again, exactly like I know there's a movie, and it was set in Dallas.

I think the main character's name was Deborah or something is a, you know, football player, very nice and then boom, very giving. It's all said, that's X-rated. I've never seen that movie. So it's purely guessing at the location and the characters in that movie. But it's, it is not hard to get on the X-rated Internet because it's much bigger than the rest of the Internet. Well, this is why targeting say that.

I mean, getting we got both the tech TAC and the Texas thing going on, but targeting Pornhub and the other porn sites. Hilarious to me because there's porn unchecked out. There's porn on Facebook, there's porn on Instagram, there's porn on ex. There's porn everywhere. Yeah, I'm I'm spreading, you know, next.

So it's like you can't I mean they allow it on access except for during the livestreams I was reading because I got the premium account like what can you do what we can you play me are they like YouTube? Where you can play music now and maybe just, you know, you'll be partially demonetized but that's okay because the people that own the music will make the money.

So I was looking at that and it's like, Well, you could do any kind of crazy shit you want, but just you can't do it live and you have to market with the content warning. So with that in mind, why would you going after the people that are being honest like, Hi, we are porn people, Why are you going after them when it's everywhere else undercover? You know? I mean, that should be the way.

Yeah, but if you're worried about something as a parent, wouldn't you be like, Well, we have to get all of these social media companies to agree not to use porn, otherwise we can't let anybody use it? Well, I think in this instance, the tic tac thing is just absurd. The Texas rule, I think, actually achieves its goal, which is it's saying if you're going to have porn, we're going to regulate it just like X-rated movies as it probably should be.

And but the way to do that is by basically making the viewer show their driver's license when they enter the movie theater and say, you're old enough to be in there. And as a consumer of said movies, on the rare occasion, I will say that most consumers, myself included, are not willing to pull out their driver's license because their driver's license has all kinds of other information, right, that they do not want to be providing name and Social Security number.

And some of them I mean, I don't know if that's still the case. There were some licenses that had them. They don't do that. Well, no, Illinois, back in the day, you could choose to put your S.A., your socialite in there. That's crazy, because that never changes. That's the problem. It's like your driver's license numbers can change if you, you know, have if you're have identity theft, they will change it. But good luck changing your social Security.

Yeah, that's going to happen. But it's a in a sense it does kind of then make companies go, well, shit, if we can't, you know, if our customers won't give us that info, that means no one's going to be watching the porn in Texas. Or at least we know that 95% of the people are currently watching on a roadside. Won't provide their driver's license. Well, let's just stop providing it to the whole state then.

And while you say that that doesn't work and I agree, there's plenty of ways around that, it's actually not that hard to do it on a per state level. If you're doing it from a server farm. Like you're just basically blocking all of the transports, all the routers, right. That are going to Texas Now, can you get around that? Yes, of course. But by default, you're actually saving money because you're not now wasting traffic and you're actually limiting the routing of your network.

Now, here's what I'm guessing. I mean, man, I wish we had a VPN sponsor because I bet you VPNs in Texas. Look, I bet you could sign up and get one before the end of the show, It's like I'm telling you, they have their little dime a dozen. Well, this is also the it's an interesting thing to me because most people are still going to go the least amount of money solution, which means you're going to be in a very bad place going with the free VPN because they will use.

yeah. Well, plus you're starting, right? So to sign up for a VPN, you're going to need to provide your credit card or the same info as a driver's license. Yeah, there are some people services that take crypto. Now you're sure you're that I mean malware, you could even send in cash. They also allow crypto. You can buy lightning, you can pay in bitcoin, you can pay and Monero. And where do you get all these things? The what the crypto people send them to me. Yeah. Yeah exactly.

If that's your business violence to get crypto sent to you for free and then pay for everything in life, you got to be a big ass influencer. And if you want to be a big influencer, you better be in tic tac. I got a big one. I'm tech tack. Yeah, we're on your only chance, right? How to go for that? You can send me some crypto, but this is the thing.

It's like not hard to get around those bans and it just is going to drive traffic for the VP arms, which is you could just read geo locator if you want to watch all the stuff on the BBC and you're sitting there in Austin, it's not hard to do and the concept of what you're doing, but what you're doing by paying for a VPN is effectively getting on the adult Internet. It's an Internet that requires payment for service versus being free. The adult Internet.

Well, the whole Internet is technically the adult Internet. Yes. Yes. But and this is different. States can make laws to punch holes in that. This is the insanity that people, parents and politicians at this point are remembering.

The pre-Internet era where if you wanted to buy, if you wanted to watch an X-rated movie going into a theater, as you said, they would check your ID if you went into a bookstore or a gas station, They were supposed to check your ID before you were going to buy that nudie mag. And there were things in place and it was very easy to keep this stuff, well, a lot easier than it is now out of the hands of. Yes, I remember I remember buying my first bike at a store.

Playboy after turning 18, like that was the thing. Yeah, I know. I can buy a playboy at a gas station. Legally. Yeah, I remember it too. But it was just 16 because nobody was going to car the six foot six kid that, you know. That's a good point. Good point. Yeah. It was like 16 boom drive. That was it. There was no rules that that. Yeah, exactly.

As long as you got a license, you're buying a gas station, you're probably old enough because now you know they'll, they'll actually find gas stations for not carting somebody who's under 40. Right. This is the new rules they literally started. I remember I was probably 20 years ago now, but I remember my dad getting carded in the fifties and he and he was like, what? What kind of bullshit is this? I'm not coming back to the store. I don't know.

He shouldn't be carrying me like you might be a secret shopper. It's like you're going to find our ass. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So anyway, that's kind of what's happening here, is the state is is threatening fines to any companies that don't verify age before they show porn. Now, the irony, of course, is that the really kinky porn sites that aren't in the US and aren't owned by Pornhub don't give a shit about rules like that. Right? And this is the whole story.

Good luck pursuing somebody in the Netherlands for a Texas law. Well, this is when it came out when the UK wanted to do this. And most of these big porn sites, we're out of the United States. They're like, What do we fucking care about the UK laws, Right? Right. And this is what you get when you have a global Internet. Well, this is what most recently got into hot water for because a bunch of accounts, mine included, ended up getting like search banned.

And, you know, basically nobody was seeing anything that was posting except for people that already are followers. So they just never show your account to anyone who's not a follower, period. And you know, that happened when they use the word tranny, talking about the transmission, of course. And what else would you be talking about? I don't know. But apparently the word tranny is the abbreviation for transmission is a banned term. And the new acts just like the old theater.

And it's once you use this now you're shadow banned forever. You can't get off that list. So I thought, well, that sucks. I can't believe I'm the only person that's done that. It turns out I wasn't the only person. So it became a trending topic about a week ago that a whole bunch of people, much bigger audiences than me.

A lot of again actually had a banned from Yeah a lot of car mechanics get their statement and the reason that Musk gave as an excuse for it is well Brazil has a new law that says that people aren't allowed to violate somebodys preferred, you know, terms of sex or something or should get what if whatever their arms are tranny boy this is yeah exactly I was actually what if I want to call myself, you know, a transmission and whatever transmission assist the FDA.

It's habitual, there's a few those and bump and so like he had to respond to it which then created a second wave of people saying, well, as an American with a constitution that protects free speech, what the fuck are you doing following the laws of a foreign country in regulating my Twitter rights? What does that mean? It's there's some there's a good point in there. Although for First Amendment doesn't really apply to private companies, only applies to governments.

So there's I mean, any private company can regulate your speech because you have a private relationship with them. That's the other thing the government needs to stay out of is commerce and your relationships with companies. But neither here or there, everybody wants somebody else do the hard work like parents not having to parent and, you know, making sure that no kids watch porn on the Internet. Right. Because it's easier to make it somebody else's job.

And in this case, Brazil made the job of X, and X made it the responsibility of literally every person on X to be treated by Brazilian laws. So Musk says this is being looked into and should be fixed. Meanwhile, once you're on that shadow banned list, there's no way to get off it. So the only thing you can do is create a new account and forget the kids watching porn. 50% of them are making born. very true.

And that's, you know, supposed to be something parents prevent their kids from doing, right? Well, I mean, that was the case of the girl who posted herself giving a blowjob in a classroom and she was like 15. It was being charged with distributing child porn. It's like, well, you have to I know it's like because it's money. Like the laws were there to protect the children. But what if the children are the ones in a room?

Because if you don't charge her, then some kid's going to run a child porn empire because they can make $1,000,000,000 and then be like, I am, we can't do anything to me, I'm a child. Haha. But this concept that you can keep people from accessing the porn, I mean, I get what Texas is doing, but if you really want to do that then you go after every social media site along with Pornhub and whatever. There's other porn sites. I'm assuming that the porn hub wasn't singled out.

It's yeah, it's there. We're not. It's the law that just applies to access to pornography requiring proof of being over 18. And so. Well, there's access to pornography in every social media site. So how are they keeping people from accessing it? Right. By the way, I sent you I think I asked you, maybe I didn't annex.

I randomly stumble into this this woman posting images that I couldn't quite figure out why she's posting pictures of herself in the variety of very normal activities until I notice something in common with all the images. And that is that she's not wearing a bra and it's cold outside. It's cold. And I was like, okay, I get it now. That's the common thing that all these have in common. The so she soldiers are getting ready to fight. Yeah. yeah.

And I'm like, you know, she's kind of makes a bad look in bits That supermodel looking for by Amy's not a porn star looking checked just kind of a what appears to be an average, you know, 30 year old kind of old woman. And with the headlights blazing, her tranny probably is getting abused.

I mean, you know, I think things are happening there because I actually was curious enough that I went all the way back to the beginning of her profile where she was just posting pictures of her dog and shit and she's clearly stumbled onto something that's growing her account very fast. Right. Is something you look at analytics and that's not eight Olympics for her and you're like, Wow, I mean, people have dirty minds. We're getting so many more interactions all of a sudden. Why? Yeah, I see.

What did I do that was different? Let's try and recreate that over and over and over and over. Well, this is one of the main reasons why Tik Tok is kind of dangerous when it comes to letting your children be on it. Is that the minute you're I mean, overall daughter, I'm sure maybe some son. But the first time your daughter realizes that, the first time she dances around in her bra and panties, that the head count goes up, up, up, up. Well, dude, that's you can look on Twitter for that.

What's the number one category? And that's Twitter, straight twitch number one category of live streaming videos on Twitch, which, you know, really was about video game playing and stuff. Well, it's not video games. It's hot tubs Was hot tubs. So you go to twitch and look for the category, hot tubs and all you have. And that's how ridiculous this is.

Girls that are generally sitting in inflatable kiddy pools in front of their computer in their house, in skimpy bikinis seems like a pretty simple concept. A very simple. The idea being that, well, I'm wearing a appropriate clothes for the activity that I'm livestreaming. So it has nothing to do with TNA? No, of course not. It's just I'm dressed for the activity and I'm livestreaming my activity. And my activity is 8 hours a day of sitting in a kiddy pool. I mean, hot tub.

I shower 8 hours a day. yeah. Waterproof cameras, all the rage. I mean, you know, that's what GoPros were invented for. Come on, get real. Yeah, they weren't. They weren't meant for you. What the hell? Spitting channel. Whatever. Like anyone who's ever bought one of those, go skiing. I don't believe it. I own five. Just have these times you went down the slopes. Well, you know, if we look at my integrity of my life, used to go every week. I'm sure every now and then.

Yeah. Before GoPros were invented. Yeah, well, the 55 skiing, I was. I never got into snowboarding, but I was definitely a downhill skier. And then cross-country to a 5555 boost from CSB. Speaking of transmission roads, I like trance music. Does that count? That's. That's a good point, CSB, I dare you to put that question into acts. yeah. That count. Yeah. It's it's not going to get you banned. But I'll get your shadow, man.

Nobody will see your mistress if you just misspell trance music and call it trance music. That might, which I'm sure in some languages is the way that it would be spelled. He also says this is one off bitcoin grab. Don't get used to it. we're definitely not used to getting money from users. We don't know Gelt are talking about already, but just be here in our Brier patch right here. And then he wants you to follow about x CSB. Just three letters. Yeah, he will answer all questions there.

Dude, I am going to help. I'm going to come up with so many questions. get this. If yo, your friends only get one question per follower though. I think he had that little s. yeah. That should be. You don't want too many. And then he signs it off. They sure it's in there. Yo your friendly neighborhood poll lock CSB. Now, I don't know if X would allow you to say Polak either. Yeah. I don't know if that's a banned term, but you may want to check the free.

He's. Yeah, check with Elon. Yeah, I'll check. Maybe a beam checks to these days. Yeah. You never know. People are very sensitive. Very, very sensitive Boy. Yeah. But this concept that you could block any adult material from. Right. Anybody on the internet. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It is. And there was a reading, incidentally, there was a solution that allowed you to do this much faster and easier that nobody seemed to wanted to take up. It was taken up by a few porn sites, but that many.

And it was a super simple solution that was very obvious. And I talked about it way back to the day. It's like 20 years ago that when the XXS domain was created, I was saying, this is a perfect opportunity to allow the simple domain to be a category domain and that all porn would be allowed and the triplex domain with no blocking and no stupid, you know, interference from the government. And then you can start cranking up laws about porn on other domains.

So as and the reason for that is because it's super frickin simple to ship a router that has triple X as a domain block by default. Like you can do a one button block to all porn if all porn came through that exact sex. Right. With social media, though, that changed everything. Well, and that's the thing is there was there was a big resistance to doing that and I couldn't quite understand because, you know, I was there in bulk and I was like, well, well, who cares?

Let's just put all the porn under triple X. It'll be easier to manage for people that don't want to consume it. Yes, for the parents who don't really. There are people that want to have porn be consumed on their networks, just not called porn. That would be Facebook and Twitter and every other website that is a social media site to some extent. I mean, Instagram, it's all porn or it's pushing you towards other porn is what it is.

Yeah, well, they're all kind of pushing it towards onlyfans ultimately, right? You want to see it. You want to see it to your pictures. Here's where you go. Yeah, yeah. It's just a matter of time until there's a big problem with like half of onlyfans being made up of under 18 year olds, which it probably already is, or it's going to be made up of people that aren't real, and they're just guys that are have been called that. Yeah, I don't care about that.

That's fine because like I still consumer that's fine. Nobody gets hurt. I mean, honestly does it make a difference whether something is a generated porn or real porn. Yeah. The AA stuff looks better. Yeah, well, this is it. The the images of the skin. Well, let's just say the participants also more attractive. This is where I think air is really going to totally screw with humanity is just playing with. It's going to be the well, forget porn. All these like, we're going to have an I girlfriend.

And these some of these businesses are doing quite well. It's their way better man. Have you seen the videos on the air or something? No, I mean I read a couple of articles. The the people and mostly male people develop extremely strong attachments to women that act nice to them because it's so rarely. Yeah, it doesn't happen in real life. It's a fantasy.

So you're creating a fantasy scenario where you have a woman that actually cares about the man and it's a and then they change their terms of service to disallow adult conversation. And it got everybody pissed off because now all of a sudden they were basically paying a monthly fee to have instead of a girlfriend that gets them a wife that didn't want to have sex. And it was like, this is such bullshit. I can't believe this. I'm like, God, they're just doing such a good job simulating reality.

Although they were doing it for other reasons. And then they reintroduced adult relationship conversation with the AI, including pictures that were age generated for a higher fee tier. I was like, my God, that is totally marriage. Yeah, yeah. They're really doing a good job of this. Where you start off with somebody that is very likable and is perfectly happy and willing and interested in engaging in sex with you.

And slowly over time as the connection between the guy and this person or a develops, they start clamping down on the free sex and introducing a pay for play model keeps on ratcheting it up. Yep, Ratchet, ratchet, ratchet, ratchet. So yeah, that's all coming. I think that I in a lot of ways and let's wrap up this topic. We've been talking for a while about porn, but I was we have our two films.

I thought your wife's going to be there soon because, you know, you've got somebody that that is ratcheting you up. Somebody else comes in and then the wife comes out. And so, I mean, that is why we're a very big time can't. Exactly.

So consequently, I think I will be sold as the but it hurts nobody way to sell sex ultimately it's like it ensures 100% no child trafficking whereas real porn can't say that because there's plenty 80 or so sorry 17 and a half year olds and porn that are children that are part of the industry. Well, that's fine because the left says sex work is work and they should be allowed to decide when they're 12 years old.

You know, if they want to cut their dicks off or bind their breasts because they're trans. Yeah. So how do you say you can't allow them to do what they want? Well, the best way is to just avoid the whole thing by having I do all the work. Well, of course. But the interesting thing with A.I., if you ever play with those image generators, it's almost hard to make an unattractive female. Yeah, and who wants that? I know, but it's interesting because. But you know why It's not like it's program.

It's because women don't ever post images of themselves not looking nice, right? Like they all have to have their makeup on. They will take down anything that doesn't look hard of themselves. So if that's what you train them. Yeah. Which is they Internet. Yes. And where are there Way more photos of attractive people than non. So there you go. Because that's what used it. All of advertising.

It's what's used it all of the all everything you want to train and I buy using images from a ring, doorbell, camera, you're going to have a very different result. Yes. It's scary. Is that very, very all the resting bitch face? People, men and women are going to be prevalent. Everybody will look like your Amazon delivery drivers. Yeah, that's good point. Good point. Okay, so I got another topic here. Unless you want to jump in on something. No, I was just. I'm fine jumping out of the porn.

You're. You're good. Yeah. Walked away from the porn because it's all a fucking farce anyway. You're not keeping anybody from watching porn in Texas. This whole concept that it's for the children is bullshit. Because you know how you protect the children. Make a fucking grow some fucking balls and make a law that says nobody under the age of 18 is allowed on the internet. Yeah. So let's. Yeah. You mean you could do that?

Just create a separate internet for kids, I guess, but so somewhat tangential to this, but I'm directly related. We have the sentencing of the parents of the shooter, both the father and the mother now. Right. Or were they what was the ultimate verdict? It was negligent homicide or something like that? Well, it was because they provided the boy who was was he 15, I think were 16, 15, 15, 15 years old, went and shot up some people at school with the handgun.

And the case here would have been completely different if this was mommy or daddy's handgun that he somehow got his hands on, as opposed to it seems that the story and they probably admitted to it was, well, no, we gave him this, but, you know, he was responsible, too. But you gave a 15 year old a handgun and you didn't keep it locked up and you didn't have control of it when you weren't at the rage. Well, then you are negligent.

Well, I don't yeah, it's an interesting case because the yeah, I can certainly make arguments from both sides of this because my default stance on every shooting type event, anything that's like violence school my my instant response well I'm going to blame the parents because that is bad upbringing. There's no no kid that was brought up. Well, is ever going to be a psychopath like that. I don't know if they're going to be a psychopath. That is much better at not being caught. Right.

So consequently, yeah. So this is bad parenting. This is parenting that didn't teach you have not yet taught. So I generally default to that position. Now we have courts that agree with that position or at least the the jurors agreed with that position that yeah, let's blame the parents for this. But it does kind of make a lot of people scared to be actually held responsible for the actions of their children because liberals don't really want that for obvious reasons.

They don't want to know for themselves. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like, I'm not going to be responsible. My child. My child is fully 17 and capable of making their own adult decisions when they're a six year old, Right? Because now they've decided that they're no longer boys, they're girls. So liberals don't want this. Conservatives don't want this for the gun issue because they're like, hey, it's the right of every American to own the firearm.

So as long as I provide gun safety training to my kid, I that's where my responsibility stops. There's no way to be held liable for them. The kid having good gun control in the execution of a bunch of murders. So the jury found both parents independently guilty. But Americans on both sides of this, at least the ones that I'm reading on, that's the vocal side of the American population, the ones that actually bother posting their opinions. That's both liberal and conservative don't want this.

So I it's an interesting issue for me because I, I do tend to think that if we go down this path of what happened with this case, where the prosecution successfully argued that the parents are responsible for the actions of the children, what happens to all the single black mothers of juvenile black boys in prison today? Will they go to prison as well? Well, there have been politicians in the Chicago area who have suggested this.

Now, the the line here that we have to look at, I believe, is when somebody is considered able to be tried as an adult and there's plenty of heinous crimes, even when committed by a 14 or 15 year old, that it's pushed that they are tried as an adult. I say if they are unable to be tried as an adult, then the parents have to have some responsibility.

They have to have some skin in the game and well, okay, so I don't disagree with that in principle, but I think that can't work in practice because the there is no such line that exists. It's a moving target in every court case.

The try agree adult is predominantly dependent on the validity of virility of the prosecutor to like how badly they want to collect the scalp because most prosecutors only go into the training as an adult and they can do it on fairly minor crimes and still crime as adults for kids because they want to use this case to basically show, hey, we're tough on crime, reelect me.

They don't do it because there's some standard and guideline that says if a minor commits such and such, such a crime, they have to be tried as an adult. Like that doesn't exist. No, but maybe what we defined in every jurisdiction, right. What we should tie it to is if the jurisdiction says a nine year old kid decide to cut off their dick and be a trans, well, then that means a nine year old that shoot somebody is old enough to make lifelong altering decisions. So they're tried as an adult.

Any jurisdiction that will allow for children to decide that they can cut off their private parts, that they should also all anybody in that age range also. So basically letting all the liberals off the hook. No, because they won't do it. They would back down in a minute if they thought that this would happen. Now know that I think they would. I, I don't think they would all of a sudden are going to jail for things that they wouldn't have otherwise.

Well, yes, but that maybe those kids, first of all, get taught they're not doing bad things. You go to jail. First of all, they're not going to jail because we know, at least in California, then I think a lot of other liberal places, they don't arrest you for anything now short of attempted homicide. So now by now, you don't even get arrested for a homicide. They're like, okay, just go into the we'll take your fingerprints, and then you just go go back to your life. That's fine.

There was there was a story that popped up yesterday, saw in Colorado two things. One is Colorado is now imposing a stay at home order where they're ordering adults across the lake, not just government employees, but all adults of Colorado due to COVID, which apparently still thing in Colorado, just not anywhere else to stay at home, not go to work and effectively have shut down on businesses in Colorado again and even the same farms. Come on, man we've got to go sell our weed.

Yeah, the tech really farms in Colorado. They man, we need their money. And the list of of what are they called allowed businesses. Yeah. They're like emergency businesses or whatever essential. Important businesses essential yes. Yeah. Is a still business workers have to report it but they have to triple mask so you know it's a thing that says he lives 20 minutes away from that school and the kid was carrying a dead bird head in a jar around the school.

The was drawing pictures of him shooting up his classmates. And what the courts are totally ignoring is that everybody at the school who knew this just totally ignored it. Well, because, you know, you can't tell the male brain males do stupid shit like that and have forever. You know, usually the instead of the dead bird. That is a little further than, you know, the pictures and shit like that. I knew kids like that. I never knew anybody that carried a bird head around you.

Never. Really. I I've certainly known plenty. You grew up in a weird man. I grew up in the suburbs. Did I grew up with a very normal, you know, suburbanites, Midwestern community. A lot of kids got their slingshots out. They picked the bird down. They're like, Let's just cut off his head, put it in a jar.

I mean, first of all, you have shit like that in a junior high school, not even the high school for a biology class, which maybe they don't do anymore, where you got rats and and fried frogs, birds and things and not only do you have them in the jar to look at, you have to take them out of the jar. They smell horrible and then cut them apart. Yeah. I was not a fan of dissecting the frogs. Yeah, I got out of that. Do religious reasons you can didn't show the class.

That's well. Well, that's one way to do it. Yeah. I'm not a fan of the smell, the formaldehyde smell. The formaldehyde does not do it for me. No. Yeah, I only had to do the frogs. The wife. I think, was in a more advanced class, and they did the cat that would like. yeah, yeah. There you go. So a little bizarre. I don't think it's that unusual for somebody to have that.

Now, these are generally people that when I was in high school, our junior high or whatever 15 years old is, I just assumed that they were probably going to grow up to be morticians because who the fuck else wants to deal with dead shit mass murderers? Like probably probably the same. Well, serial killers. Yeah. I mean it. No, really. You know, most serial killers are not actually fans of people after they're dead. It's the act itself, not the post-partum part of the act that appeals to them.

Do you like that Jeffrey Dahmer kids seemed really normal to me. It was Dahmer. If you look at the transcripts of the court case was generally called a quiet, well-behaved boy. He was not cutting up, you know, walking around with dead animals in a jar at school. Well, no, because his parents at least sort of to hide it. Exactly. So that's a that's a better parental model. Exactly. So, I don't know. It's hard to say.

I because I really, like I said, my default position is always blame the parents on the shit, because how could you not recklessly. It's it seems like like a child that turned out well. The parents did something right and the child that turned out poorly, they didn't do something right. And because you should see the warning signs, you should be able to act upon them early enough if there is an issue. Exactly.

But a lot of it's somebody also and I'm assuming this was the reason why on all the other cases where the parents have never been convicted, I'm assuming the difference in this case was that they gave him the gun and knew he had the gun. Yeah, but he wasn't diagnosed as somebody who shouldn't have the gun. And that's the thing is, if you watch a lot of it, but it's 21. Do you own a pistol in the United States? Well, it's three one to buy a pistol.

You're perfectly allowed to get a gun for a your children, like an adult, can buy guns for their kids. The kid can't buy a gun. It doesn't mean the kid can't touch a gun or shoot a gun or have a gun. And those laws are different by states. I'm sure in New York State, where the adults can have the guns, they can't either. no, that's New York's like if you're over 30, no guns. But if you're 8 to 12, we recommend guns are okay. We recommend you have a gun and we'll provide them for you.

Just come on down. We'll have them for you at City hall. We'll give you the guns that we've taken away from the other people that we've refused to arrest. So it's it's a slippery slope, though, because I totally understand the concern of the argument through the pro-gun argument here, saying if you actually allow people to be sentenced for someone else using a gun improperly, you're literally one stop, one skip hop, step away from having that abuse right.

And essentially having well, if you can sentence the parents of a 15 year old, why can't you sentence the parents of an 18 or 19 or 20 year old? Well, again, that line of once they become an adult is what you're trying to get around. I've told the story before about how Chicago had the great spike in carjackings. And even though the one idiot alderman was like, it's because of video games. Like, no, it wasn't because of video games.

It was because the people in charge of Chicago came out and very specifically made the point, which is just idiotic, even if you're going to do some of these things the minute you come out publicly and say, if you're under the age of 18, we are never going to charge you as an adult for carjacking, which is what they did. And then you know who start carjacking. A lot of people, the 14 to 16 year olds, they are 17 year olds.

Now, in this case, if their parents were going to be responsible for the crimes they committed at that age, a lot of parents would be a lot more engaged. And I think they would have been a lot less carjackings because parents just look there as the parents might end up killing the kids. But at least that way you don't have the criminals anymore.

Yeah, and that's what would have happened in the past is there was a lot more of a threat of parents being the ones to impose a much harsher sentence on than what the law ever could write. So there was no point in putting your kid in jail because you knew they were going to get the shit beat out of them by the parents, right? Yeah. Young Jesus, you have a very harsh father like daughter. Just take me to jail. Yeah, just take me to go. Take me home. Take me to jail. Exactly.

So it's it's a it's a it is a tough one. I kind of feel like the government should like we need to close down the Department of Education. I'm with Vivek on that one. The interim government should have nothing to do with with rearing children. It doesn't take a village. Federal that it takes a parent. Yes. And it could be done on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis rather than the federal government coming in. It's it's a slippery slope. Did anything the states can do? The federal government?

Of course they could. But at least this gives you greater chance to have a choice. And if if somebody fucks it up like New York, this is how the great exodus out of California, New York and Illinois. At this point, people are like, Nope, you're fucking it up too much. There are states that are doing it better. Better education should be the same way rather than like, yeah, new people out in the middle of Indiana. Your kids are way too smart and well-adjusted.

We got to fuck you up by putting these things in it. Lowering the bar because you're making the kids in New York look bad. Yeah, No, but I'm with you. I mean, but the concept is that I think for especially the heinous crimes where somebody gets hurt or killed. Yeah, somebody needs to be held responsible. And if you're going to say that the person doing it is too young, then somebody else, there has to be other skin in the game.

Because when the the disconnect, I think, is that the kids know and they're old enough again, because they could decide to cut their dicks off at 12. So these gang bangers and people in that age range from 13 to 15, 16 that are going out and robbing people, raping people and killing people when they know that their age is kind of a get out of jail free card. That then emboldens them to do more.

Well, why don't we just have the same sentencing for kids as we have for adults and not worry about it? I think they should. Yeah, I think we're at that point. Yeah, it's two middle aged men with no children. We are experts in this topic and we say parents are bad and kids are worse. But I think parents would rather have their kids go to jail than them, which is kind of sad. Yeah. Yeah, I I'll certainly they don't want to be going to jail as well as their kids. Well right.

You know, Dad, did Mom go to jail and the kid doesn't. Well, the kid's still going to go kill more people. Does the kids not learn anything? Well, the kid's going to be in a foster home at that point. But the foster parents go to jail. I mean, nobody's going to want to touch it. Nobody's going to touch that. Hey, I didn't even think of that. But you're absolutely right.

Who wants to be a foster foster parent to a troubled teenager? You send those kids, end up in jail because of shit the kid does. Fuck that shit. I'm fucking taking these kids and putting them in a plane and I'm pushing them out over China, indemnified for that shit and not my fault kids fucked up before I got them. Fake adoption. Fake adoption, fake. That's exactly what it's like. And we're going to do a test drive for about 18 years first. Then we'll let you know.

I'd like to adopt a 25 year old Ukrainian girl, please. man. Don't go into penal territory. 25. Well, see, this is it. A lot of people today think that's pedo because it's like you're a 53 year old man talking about a 25 year old woman. That pedo. I hear that a lot. Yeah. And it's weird. I bet you do all that personally about me because I'm boring. okay. Okay. But it's just a very weird. It's like people have no concept of reality anymore.

No, no, no. Madre, When you have these crimes, somebody needs to be held responsible because otherwise you have chaos. Because once you make it clear, like, well, he's always got to my third point. Right. Thank you. Right. This is perfect. You and I are so brilliant. You're doing a brilliant job of moving topic to topic without any prompting from me. This is the beauty of it. We are so on the same page. That's what makes unrelenting the one brand around two bodies right, Right now.

Well, yeah. We can't afford actually. Yeah, some people would probably say, Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah. These guys, he was his act. exactly. But together we're going to be doing a girls would be recording a podcast the middle of the May amount of Friday. Yeah. Unemployed bums Pretty much so although I'm totally employed, I'm just not working right now. But yeah, but all I'll make sure I bring up. Yes. Yeah, I know. Right. Live. Yeah. Well, that's why I have to ask.

What like I want, I want before you listen live, I need to know what you do for a living. This is, you know, there are people that seem to be on all the time and like, reading my my X's all the time. Well, yeah, because you heard from the fam. Who are these people? Yeah, I was banned from the city. Exactly right. So anyway, the third topic being I watched a TV series that is both disturbing and absolutely brilliant at the same time. And I am curious if anyone else have been watching it.

I know that Ben has been watching it, my other co host and just two good old boys, the whispering. No, it's not. Not because we talked about it, but because he texted me and the opinion of one of the people in the show when I hadn't mentioned the show. But clearly he's watching the same shit than I am. And the show is called The Curse. It's for family time. you should watch. It's on Showtime. It's an original Showtime thing. Ten episodes. That seems to be what the New Seasons are these days.

I know. Are they? Our episodes are half. Yeah, they're. They are an hour long. So at least you get 10 hours worth of show. And Emma Stone is the the main female character in it. And you see more of Emma Stone in this show than you've ever seen anything she's done in the past. I'll tell you that much. She is an odd but not horrible looking woman. I think that she is a yeah, she is quirky, cute, with a decent body. She's never been like, drop dead gorgeous.

She's never been, you know, the hottest chick. But for the things she's done, she's always been cast in that role of the quirky girl that looks hot enough, you know, like there are other women that are cast in that role that don't look as hard as her. You. But I've been watching movies she's been in since she was a teenager and she's like 33 now or something. well, almost the top of your the top of the list. Like middle age, literally. It is. it's TV-MA. That means they do get a little bit.

yeah, yeah. Now there's there is nudity and masturbation and all kinds of things this show. So I know and I don't want to oversell it because it's not like the whole show, but they definitely that's only sex, nudity and masturbation. If you want that all the time, you go to Onlyfans. Yeah, you got to go to her Onlyfans Page You want that?

And by the way, you know, it's just a matter of time until all the Hollywood celebs have their Onlyfans page Just because it's such a stream of revenue that you pass up if you don't have one. Well, I just want to know what they do when all of the air versions of themselves that are just slightly different are making all the money. I know, right? Well, what's the face? I think did it right. The Who's the guy in Castaway? Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks just sold his soul. Yeah. His in digital rights.

And he actually got paid his digital rights where most people are going to have it stolen. What you're saying this Tom Hanks is going to be in a lot of dirty porn movies soon? I think he really is. Yeah. That's like gay porn mostly. Well, I mean, that's where he would belong. I mean, that would kind of sell. I mean, if we go back to his first acting role that he really famous for, he was playing a gay dude in a college dorm. Yeah. Bosom buddies.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, most people aren't old enough to know that, but. Yeah, I know that was the premise of the show, but we had a lot of shows like that Three's Company. They were all about gay men pretending to be women. Transvestites, though different than trans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like trans meant a different thing back then. It meant you wanted to dress up in pretty, pretty pumps

if you wanted to screw men, you were probably gay. And if you wanted to wear women's clothing, you were probably a transvestite. The curse gets a 7.2 out of ten over an IMDB. yeah. And they got it's very mixed. I think a lot of people don't like the the weird sort of stuff in there. But let me give you my kind of take on it, because I have not watched all ten episodes. The acting, especially by Emma Stone, is absolutely first rate. It is top notch.

It is portraying a rich white woman, kind of the the stereotypical Californians that I actually know, like the wives of my Californians, friends who are all millionaires. They all act just like Emma Stone in this movie. It is just amazing. It is a she really captured. Now, I shouldn't be surprised because she lives in California. She's a rich white woman. Right. She's a white woman in California. And so it shouldn't be that hard to portray that character.

But she's doing a great job of portraying that character and all the flaws involved. Like she is super environmentalist, you know, it's all about saving the planet and everything else is kind of secondary. She is all about the minorities and making sure that, you know, they understand that the white people stole their land and that, you know, this is something that that that is going to be a blood stain on the history of white man forever.

You know, she's like that person, but not in a over the top. Ridiculous comedic sense. But like, she's playing that character as a in a dramatic fashion. She's doing a great job portraying the that typical Californian rich lawman and including, by the way, the idea that that really she married like her husband isn't at her level. All these women think that every single one they all think that, you know, they have the inflated theory. That is what you're saying.

Yeah, super inflated ego the type of woman that gets that this place gets massages, you know, all that kind of stuff. Will you do? And I certainly don't you? God, no. No, neither one. I don't do I never done ladies and I do know what it is. I just pay for my wife getting this but and I, I'm never like massage. I've never been a fan of massage. So now that true, you know, like, let there be, like eight disrobe for me but get the oils. Well, yeah.

If there's something getting if somebody's using oil it's going to be me on them, not the other way around. See, you're a giver, not a taker. I get it. Yeah. Plus, it's hard to get a massage when you know you've got two guns strapped to your body. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, Yeah. And those don't ever put on the table. So, anyway, so great job by her. The other guy who is in it is the dad. What is his name. He's, he's kind of a comedic actor but he is in fact he's one of the creators of the show.

Feldman. Feldman got them. I'm forgetting and saying now he is a native to the in Mecca. Yeah, he's the lead. Nathan Fielder. Nathan Phil, The same guy. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. So Nathan Fielder, Feldman, they're all the same. We'll just have to update my post because I put unrelenting dot com and people are like, that's not even like that's, that's true. That's just right. You're right. They and I cut and pasted it from last week and nobody noticed so I guess whoops Yeah.

Yeah. I can change it if you will let me do that. It's beautiful. It's like it never happened. well, you get as a paid member of X, you can also do that. I love it, man. I just have to figure out how to stream stuff so we can go a lot. Yeah, it's pretty easy. Breezy Anyway, so you, you have this.

That's the premise for the show is you're following a couple that are basically homebuilders they're building these super cool Well, depending on what your sense of colors think they're going to be go they're building super eco houses. I, I literally want a house that is one of their houses in the movie now I'm sure most people look and go, my God, you're crazy. But seeing these houses, I'm like, my God, this is exactly what I want. So it's pretty cool.

It's it's a house that doesn't require air conditioning, uses no energy and no water. And, you know, just the air work is just like the Arab world thing, where the air going through the air, the air is rejuvenated. And so you don't have to use external air. You know, their house is basically hermetically sealed. And it's a it's the coolest fucking idea. I love it. I am. And may one day end up living on this.

But but obviously, as any couple, they have their problems and they're aside from doing this job, they're in the process and this is how will introduce them of creating a reality TV show about you know that's always a good for marriage for them. And this idea of building these super eco friendly houses and and it goes well beyond the eco friendly house.

It goes into the community sustainability aspects like working to make sure that you're not gentrifying the community too much because obviously the houses around you are like 200 grand and the house you're building is a million and it's super realistic, like both in California, where I used to work and in Austin, where I live now, this this show would not be considered a comedy or a dark comedy or anything other than just drama.

I think in most listeners of the podcast, they would think this is like some of the darkest shit out there as far as comedic stuff, because it's it's all played very deadpan. Well, that's hard to do. I love a good dark comedy. It's very yeah, it is some of the darkest shit out there because the characters are oblivious as to the way that they're perceived, you know, like when you're being made fun of and then you do you think you're actually friends with the person that's making fun of you?

It's that kind of stuff, and you find it to be funny. And one of the best shows you've seen in a while. Yeah, I mean, it is definitely dark, so dark over comedy. But it's it is. I mean, it's they're both community characters. They're they I don't think they would have gotten into doing this project without some elements of funny being them. But the funny is really more of the my God, this is awful kind of like Idiocracy, but it's really not so much like slapstick. Like there is no slapstick.

It's just it's kind of like, what's his name? JP You know, the redhead dude on YouTube that's been doing videos forever about making fun of liberals. Now, I don't know. I don't really watch. you've seen this stuff. I've posted it back when I wasn't unfairly, I was supposed to get on a regular basis. JP Sears. So he was a guy that always kind of had a deadpan type of video and he'd make fun of of people that do yoga.

He'd make fun of people that had Teslas because they're buying for the environment, you know, where obviously Teslas are worse for the environment than than Teslas. And then once he moved to Austin and once he had a kid, like he went full bore, full on conservative, because prior to that, when he used to live in California, he was a lot more sort of, you know, I'm in this club, but I'm also making fun of my own people.

Haha, sorry, but I'm surprised if you haven't genuinely seen him because he's been around forever. No, I don't really like that kind of video. I mean, that's really not my thing. No, no. I'm too busy talking to watch videos. I guess you have a show on at that point in the day. 24 hours a day, seven days, A seven. Yeah. Yeah. It never ends. That's how it is. He's saying you're writing or, you know, you're doing doing multiple takes. I get it. It's hard work.

You got to have everything exactly perfect. That's what the air is going to get us all. We don't even have to worry. I just want to be able to turn on the microphone or turn on a video camera, talk for like 45 minutes and then just have a professional finished product, all edited and everything come out. And you could totally do that right now by using a Filipino based editor.

We just somebody that you're paying in the Philippines, that's almost most yeah, somebody that you're paying, but not like that 60 bucks an hour, which is what you'd be paying for in the US. You're paying like somebody that day. Well, I think they're about ten bucks an hour right now in the Philippines. They're like, Thank you, sir, Thank you for the business. But most YouTubers that have over a thousand people pay somebody else to do the video editing for good reason. It's a lot of work.

It's a real profession and it's a part of the job that most people hate. I when I used to do my video gaming channel, you know, that part of it took the longest. So it wasn't like the playing. The game was minor compared to the editing of the video because you got to find the right the right music for all the background events. You got to match the music to the action happening in the game. You got to chop out all the bits that aren't interesting. There's just a lot to be done with editing.

That's true. Not even just for video games, but for anything like people take for granted how much of the quality of the finished product, like a movie or TV show, is the result of the cutting room? yeah. The editor versus was actually shot because what they shoot is raw material that can then be assembled into a story. It makes sense. yeah. And it's a process in the editing booth that makes the movie, not the process where the actors are actually getting paid to be there.

I mean, one of the most fun things is when you can see something in a movie that just didn't make sense or that, you know, they, you know, cut something else out. Because that's the hard thing about being the editor. That is the same thing. If you're writing a longer form story, it's like when you start cutting and pasting too many scenes in, you can't go, I'm going to cut this scene here and then have a reference back to that scene. Yeah. you know, it's one of those things.

But how do you know what kind of money any a YouTuber is making at any given point? Like what are the details of what is being go social blade and then find out what it is you just type in the the you are real or the person that whatever it's not going to be exact but it's going to be a very accurate range. I've checked this with a number of people that have millions of followers. I said, You know what? What do you think of Social Blade?

You think that their estimates are correct because they're just using the same formulas that YouTube is so they can tell you roughly based on how many the topic that you have and the number of total viewers that you have, they'll be able to estimate fairly accurately what the predicted revenues from their. And by the way, you can have as few as 100,000 subscribers and make more money than somebody that has 5 million subscribers.

If you're cranking out videos every single day or multiple times a day like some people do. And because they record one video and then chop it up into four or five different videos to be released through the right, because each video you will potentially get up to three ads. And so if you make a 22 minute video, you'll have a starting ad, the Middle Metro ad, and they include an hour. And that's where the revenue going from. So people understand that and they're doing this purely for the money.

That's exactly what they're going to do, is they're going to do the least amount of work possible to ensure that there are nine ads run every single day. It's interesting because I'm looking at the one dude that does the Lego Channel now. They say his estimated yearly earnings are anywhere between 7000 and 113,000. So where does that really.

Yeah, that's because the category it's it's a very broad category and there are people that have his level of interaction and viewership that make both of those extremes. So it's going to be dependent, you know, on how sticky his videos are. They can actually pull that data out. But the ultimately it's about selling ads, right?

So if YouTube is selling ads to brand name companies like Pepsi and, you know, whatever, and Lego I don't know if Lego advertises on this channel, they may not need to, but if they're selling major corporate ads, he's going to make a lot more than them.

If they're selling VPN products that is towards the higher and then of that of that range, like one of the highest grossing videos back about three or four years ago that videos people are on YouTube was the kid that opens up a new president every day. Why can't that be like it's like a six or seven old? How do you do that? So the whole channel was just his dad telling him of opening shipments of new, new free stuff, and they were making, I think, like they made $150 million, you know.

yeah, Holy cow. Of of shit. That was because it was because everybody wants to see that joy in the kid's face when they first opened up a new toy shop. This, in my opinion. But this is the exploitation. And at the very least yes. Who's making these decisions? Where does the kid become the adult? When can he take the money that they have? Or when can you sue mom and dad for the money? The money Authority is getting? What do you mean? According to this to me, to get the high end 113,000.

This dude. Yeah, because he had twins and he had this whole thing that he was doing it out of his basement. He'd just bought a warehouse to build as his studio. I'm just like. And he's like, We are buying the warehouse over 50 grand. And how long we have the channel? Since 2015. Yes. So probably first five years where no money coming in. Very little. That would make sense.

And then probably because that's what I heard over and over, because remember, I sell podcast called the New Media Interviews where I interviewed people like that and all them talk about how in the first three years, minimum, but usually five years, you're basically just doing this for fun, just for your friends. You're not really, you know, you might get 200, 500 bucks coming in a month if you're lucky, but you also might have a month where you get like 50 bucks.

But once something happens where YouTube promotes you, you know, like you had just the right video with your algorithm, you basically double your subscriber ship overnight. And that starts a chain of events that greatly increases your revenue potential. And one of the guys I interviewed he was is where I think he was the accounting department at like Staples or something for his day job. And he was making video gaming videos that do meetings.

And he said that he didn't quit his day job because he was afraid the YouTube thing would just crash and burn, which it could at this time. Absolutely. Until the YouTube thing was made, it was bringing literally double his salary. So he kept his job all the way through that. He didn't even he didn't do it as the immediate replacement. That's usually when most quit their day job is actually when they know that their day job salary is fully replaced by YouTube revenues.

I mean, the scary thing is though, and the cancel culture world. Yeah, all you have to do is have one little slip up or somebody posts a fake video. Looks like you're saying something racist. Yeah. And then as you said, once you're shadow banned, it's like you think YouTube's to be like, let's investigate back. Nope. Got to go. Or the advertising world could drop out in a instant. And that is true. But the bigger you are, the more lenient YouTube is was.

Yeah. Because you're bringing money in for them. Yeah. Because it's all about money. So you have people that are people that are actually assigned as your YouTube rep once you get to big enough and I don't know what that number currently, I think it's a moving target. It used to be when you crossed a million subscribers you would have a dedicated YouTube rep and then any kind of issues or anything you want to bring up to them, ask them like bounce things off.

Like, do I do this and that? Get in trouble? They will work with you to ensure that you get the guys that are top of the end, like Tim Poole. He doesn't have a huge number of subscribers. I think he's only got 5 million subscribers or something like that. But Tim Poore routinely has the largest live viewing audience on YouTube of all of YouTube. Like more people watched Temple live than any other YouTube show for most of his shows, not all his shows.

Occasionally, you know, somebody like there's a launch of a space ship or something, which we can talk about next, but they'll get more live viewers. But generally, Tim Poole is the most consistent large watching. I think Tim Poole has more daily viewers, live viewers than all three of the old networks combined. I just want to know if he can change YouTube name. Yeah, you can change it. I need to do that. My current account is out to your rep. Reach out to your rep.

They'll take care of that for you. Darren O'Neill Reviews. They estimate my yearly earnings between a dollar and $21. It's pretty. I'm rich. You are? It's creative. It's. Yeah, creative. That account. October 5th, 2011 572 subscribers. 243,000 views. Yeah. There you go. I, I've dipped under a thousand subscribers on my YouTube channel. man. So I don't longer have the whole become a partner thing popping up. You don't have the.

I used to be a partner, but you know, then I stopped making videos that kind of went away. You don't have the juice. So anyway, I would recommend people watch this TV show, keeping in mind that it is a little quirky, a little bit disturbing to find disturbing just because they are it. It'll make your teeth grip a little bit as you watch it sometimes, because the things that people are saying or doing is just like, I can't believe you just did that. I can't believe he just did that.

Like, you know, it's definitely adult. It's got adult topics and but I enjoy shows like that. Like another show that I would say is in a similar category, completely different topic of the show for me is Legion. If you've seen Legion and you like the then you understand what my sense of like interesting show is things that I like, which are a little bit weird, a little disturbing. Then you're going to see that show.

While it's not sci fi at all, like Legion was dealing more with science fiction, the kind of stuff or fantasy, even kind stuff. This this is less fantasy, but but you'll see a similarity in terms of just like, edgy content. Do you ever watch Legion? Is this another show you have to watch? Yeah. And what I've never seen the Aubrey Plaza I see is in it. yeah. But I have never felt good and it never was on Fox. I there were six of us that watched that. Wow. That many.

Yeah. So because I am pretty sure I talked to the other five guys online and we were literally the only ones watching. We have a group. It's rated an 8.2 though, so I mean, that's pretty. Yeah. F No it is. It's a, it's a psychological sort of superhero channel edgy drama thing. Did you ever watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Was there a series you just mean the movie? No, the movie, Yes. Okay. What did you think of that? I thought it was okay I mean, it was a while ago.

Since I saw it, I really enjoyed it. Then you would have a better understanding of what kind of stuff I like. I mean, Jack Nicholson is always good. Yeah, he's a good actor. Yeah. Well, do you ever watch Girl Interrupted? No. okay. All right. So I was not quite as good, I think, but also pretty good. Never have been a big fan of either Angelina Jolie or Winona Ryder. So what? You're nuts, man. No one writer is fucking deaf. And I may have seen this.

I mean, my wife maybe wanted to watch it. I may have. Yeah, this looks. Yeah, but, yeah, I probably tried to block it out. I've been a big fan of being a writer ever since Heathers. Well, Heathers was a classic movie. Yeah. Let's kill everybody. Yeah, I know. That's exactly what you're trying. And boy, what would their parents have been doing at that time? Probably going to prison. Nope. Not back then. No, not today. It's different today. It is completely different.

Which is why, again, I say make parents responsible or treat the kids as adults. One of those has to be. That is really. What are your other choices at that point? yeah. I mean, I think the kid is basically treated as an adult. He's in sentence for life that's pretty much and treated as an adult. yeah. Well, this case, if he's sentenced to life and his parents are sentenced to 15 years in prison, does that make sense? Because they are being hit with being an accessory to this?

Yeah, I think it should be a higher bar. I think you have to be a coconspirator to share in the in the guilt fear. I think that simply providing a firearm to their kid, is that sufficient to do 15 years in prison if they were telling the kid now use this to go out and shoot kids. Okay, you got me then the parents are guilty, right? If they're encouraging, yeah. They're like, well, you want I you go kill this person because I've heard stories like that. Others have no right. I'm sure you go.

You're using the kid, right? If they're abusive to the kid to the point where he is lashing out against them by targeting somebody else, I can also see that. But it appears in this case it was neither situation. It was mostly the gun lobby or the anti-gun lobby, I should say, trying to say, hey, it's the parents fault for buying a gun because nobody should have guns. I think there's kind of a mixture in there. I mean, a responsible parent, I mean, again, is a good and responsible parent.

Shouldn't Have a disturbed child like that. Well, even if they did, they would know that. Yeah. And you certainly at that point, even if you're shooting was something you did as a family, you would not leave that firearm available for the kid to use anytime he wanted to leave the house with it without.

You know, I disagree with you that because at least here in Texas, I don't know, maybe not in your neck of the woods, a lot of kids learn to shoot at ten, 11, 12 years old, and they have their own firearms by the time they're 15. Well, usually rifles. Right. Not that long. Gun. Yeah. I mean, these rifles certainly are what everybody usually starts with. But I don't know, man.

I mean, I guess if they were breaking some law in their state, it's because it's Michigan Rep. I believe in some law by meant that that says that in Michigan, no one under 18 is allowed to possess a firearm or something like that than or to possess either stole or whatever. Yeah, but I mean, in in a lot of states, the restrictions on the purchase there of not on the possession so you can't buy it.

But if your parents buy one legally they can give it to you what you can't carry legally, you can't carry a gun legally in most states. Well, I shouldn't say that. Actually, that's not true anymore, because we are now over 50% constitutional carry, which means you can carry the gun anywhere you want and over half the states now. But the way that it is in the rest of the in the way it used to be in most states is you can only transport the gun to an activity that you're going to do with the gun.

You can't just walk around with a gun all the time. So if you're driving to the range and you have a gun with you, that's an activity that you'd be fine in doing. So you're always driving to the range if we ever get. Right, exactly. Exactly. Or alternatively, if you own your own company, because there's always the rich personal exclusion. of course. If you own your own company, you're then allowed to have a gun with you any time you're going to or from your company location to protect.

Very much, yeah. Because you're the owner. And now with constitutional theory, that's basically saying that's not anybody's business. Why you have a gun, you're just allowed to have a gun on you at all times, period, which is, I think, a better standard because honestly, in all these situations where there was a shooter event, the only thing that stops an active shooter is a civilian with a gun. yeah. Most of the time, because it's going to be way too long for the police to arrive.

The cops will show up like 20 minutes later. And if they're cops, like the you've the cops. yeah. They'll just stand around outside waiting for the the assailant to run out of bullets. Well, that's a safe way for them. yeah. You just wait for them to run out and then just lobby to ban gyms altogether. Yeah. Are you out of the. Out of bullets? Hey. Yeah, it's. It's nuts. Yeah, I've been a big proponent of just saying. I think we shouldn't just arm all the teachers.

We should arm all the kids at all times. It makes everybody accountable. Good luck. Try to get away with a mass shooting when everyone else has a gun and, you know, happen. No, that would make sense. Teachers should be armed if they want to be. I wouldn't force them to be. In order to be a teacher. I would not hire a teacher that doesn't want to be armed. Well, there there's something to be said that makes for better teacher hires. Right there.

Are you willing to be armed as part of your job since there is no. Okay. Well, you don't get to be a teacher now. Go home and move back to California. No berets sent in five bucks the old fashioned way. wow, he says, unrelenting Hi, everybody. Say hello to my favorite Eastern Euro comic strip plugger. What does he get call outs now in the. boy. Here we go. Yeah. Everybody is promoting somebody else's get no breaks as a CSB as the funniest pull since Ted Knight. I, I don't know.

I guess. Ted Knight Let's push. I guess. I didn't know. That famous television actor Mary Tyler Moore Show. And if others follow him for the finest in art at CSB on the X and follow me there to it no underscore beret ex-cop yours truly the original oligarch number one. I'm liking the promotion of the ex there as well. A lot of people on the axes, says Jean. That means I donated before to real rubles. Yes. No berets the whole person has ever donated to the show in actual Soviet currency.

Awesome. We appreciate that. And now that I've got money in X, man, I'm going to be on X a lot more. I can tell you that. Yeah, I would hope so, because, you know, the Fed is dead. At least that's what I've heard. It was like we got clipped on and a video that went around the Fed by the guy who runs the other instance. Now for me saying, that looks like it wasn't meant to be personal. I Just looked at the numbers, man.

If you were telling me, Dick, I know I am a dick, but I was just looking at the numbers and you agreed. So I mean, that was part of the audio, too. That was part of it because I'm like the old sinking like a stone. And you're like, yes, sir. You preach on brother. Well, and again, I don't it's any shock to anybody about my take. And if any, given that I didn't move, I just left. Yeah, just disappeared. I mean, I hope more people go over.

I mean, this is maybe because I got a message from my Canadian buddy, the Kay Becker. The match. You two mappers Sure match. You. And he was like, no agenda Social's Been down for a while that something happened. So there's still a lot of people who had no idea. So if you still know, Yeah, it's gone. You can go to no authorities dot social now no authority that's social and it's run by the same dude that was running it and you can sign up there think he's financing that It's it's no authority.

No authority. You know what out there you got you're saying correct. Yeah. No it's not okay You are respect but no authority. That's social, right? See, you're doing ads for him. Like how can he be mad at you? I don't know. A lot of people are very. You said they didn't have a soul, which I thought was funny. And I mean, wow. Wow. Like, nobody's going to know. Yeah. I mean, I'll get to that point at some of my gay. What's going on? Saint Peter, What's up?

I mean, I guess the the jury's still out, but this is the kind of, you know, redhead. Is that the deal? I guess. I mean, I'm Irish, but I've never had any of the of the red hair. And but that's the kind of arguing that I love when people like you just have no soul. So I'm like, in a while. That really makes your point. I usually find that that only happens with ultra Christians because it is it's really you. Or you tell them, Yeah, no, it's great. I mean, because it's not really an insult to me.

I mean, like, Yeah, and neither do you. You're like, fine. Yes. Your point. None of us have souls. Not a thing. Doesn't as I guess we're going around it around like that. Once. Once the lights go out, we're all gone, buddy. We're all just fly around. Yeah, I mean, it depends. If you want to have immortality, then all you got to do is think of yourselves as being made of the constituent parts of atoms. Because are immortal and you are made of them. So therefore, by definition, you are immortal.

Just don't expect to. You know, we're robe and have little wings or have any consciousness whatsoever. Well, that's questionable for a lot of people right now anyway. You will be in the universe and speedy also sent in 5000 before the show. He said, I don't even like shawarma and now I want it. Stop talking about. I saw that message. I saw we didn't talk about food at all today. we can see like we got 25 more minutes or so. We got sound.

Gene There was the I was going to mention something about food. I forget what it was. Let me think it was your when you ordered the non and all that for your meal last night. Was that as delicious as sounded. It was pretty good. Yeah. The plates from a place that I liked to go to when I went like drove around to different restaurants and stuff. We back we left the house still delivered back straight through the front door, right? You know. That's right. That's right.

So It is a pretty good a place. I'm actually still surprised at the number of places that survived of it, because I don't understand how they survived, though it is. These are places that used to just have, you know, lunch buffets. All right. And how do you pay your bills? Maybe they just didn't pay rent for years. Maybe they're just like, nope, Yeah, no staff, no rent. Well, you know, you need very little staff, I guess, with the buffet. So, I mean, that's helpful.

You don't really need I mean, they shut down like they were closed. Like literally the places were just you couldn't go there. They were shut down. How do you survive a year of not being in business? Is the government give everybody money. They know they're blocking the poor now. But I don't know if everybody might. Maybe, maybe they did. But I think they only give you money if you maintain the staff, because that was the whole point. Right. Free money. Right. You were open.

But a lot of these places were not open because it was really hard to have a restaurant during COVID here in Austin. I don't know about other places, but the the Austin, you know, was way ahead of the curve on shutting everything down. They were doing things that the the government there had to them undo because Austin was very liberal in its use of laws to shut down businesses. The governor's like. No, we're not going to do that.

Well, there's actually been multiple years now a threat from the legislature saying that Austin is very close to having its charter pulled and to be decent corporate. And then what would happen? Well, it would be a state controlled district. It basically be run by the county instead of by the city. So it's basically getting to this point doesn't exist. Right. Then the county would be in charge.

So it's getting to the point to where the next level of government is like, you're doing so poorly, we are just going to disband out. And that was the major threat. If they didn't get the homeless population under control, it's like we're just going to get rid of the city of Aston. You're not going to have a local government. You're going to be run by the the county. And the county is a lot more conservative than the city.

We have most of what is the percentage right now, because I know you've got a lot of people coming in and I know Austin's, but I'm always very liberal. But overall tech back it's now Austin's back on the list of top cities in the U.S. It dropped out for a few years. Now it's back. But what's the percentage of Texas now that is liberal as opposed to the part that is going to survive? Every major city in Texas is votes liberal.

I mean, I think more fun than Austin, because arsonist the liberal lost of all of them. But it used to be that Austin like I moved here 15 years ago almost and the what I always described upstairs when I first moved here was it's hippies with guns. It's it's people that have a leave me alone so I can smoke pot and go and shoot off guns. And I raised my own chicken, you know, chickens. And it's just one chicken. I mean, that's not I know that's like that's not going to do much.

No, I raised my own chickens and it was just like it was people that didn't fit comfortably into liberal and conservative because they had a lot of liberal leaning values. But also they were pro-gun and they were pro, you know, the country and they were very patriotic and stuff. But just think of Willie Nelson, where you stick him politically. Willie definitely liberal, but he's a bad ass. So, I mean, there's right then that was Austin. He's the ultimate loafers.

My buddy Larry came up. Leave us the fuck alone, people. That's Will. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So libertarian. Yes. And Austin has from that morphed into really a suburb of Silicon Valley to where the way I describe it now is if you want to imagine picture a typical Austin looks like, think of a 27 year old developer dude named Ben making about 250,000 a year at that age, owning a Tesla because that's what all his friends on.

We got it but but never actually driving and having it always sit in the garage because everybody always takes an Uber. And when you really don't like it then you don't have a you don't have a thing to plug it into. Well, mostly because there's no parking spaces anywhere. And so it's easier to take an Uber so you don't have to worry about parking anywhere you go.

The and the state of Illinois does my wife, when live in downtown Austin in a condo that's that's probably $1,000,000 condo and smaller than you know or roughly the size of your college dorm room but it's $1,000,000 all new building here in Illinois that has to have the electric hook up for an electric. Same here, same in it's in the same well, but but it's more than that. It also can have a gas range. It has to have electric range. You know, we've had that yet, but we'll get there.

Yeah. Yeah. And so Austin is the most liberal of the cities, but it is very much a California liberal, meaning rich liberal city, not a poor liberal city the way you might have in some states. But if you look at the voting patterns in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio all vote predominantly Democrat. The Texas is very purple. It is about 46, 47% Democrat and 53% conservative. And that 53% all live outside of city limits. And you better hope they continue to have the numbers.

Man, that's close. And you Yeah. And you kind of hope that you know and that's why I've really started more thinking of like how do we get the liberals to leave? And I think we do that by passing laws that that restrict access to abortion and restrict access to pornography. So I'm I am for all things for a very different purpose, I think, than what other people think they were created for. I mainly look at these laws is how do we get the Californians to leave, right?

You like I like living here. I don't want it to be turned into the shithole that it's about to be turned into. And it's been in the process of, yeah, But a lot of things like, you know, I sent you photos of food prices in the past, which is what have you noticed about food prices in Austin? They're about twice what they are here, although I noticed a place that my mom shops the local jewel store.

There's usually about the same price where the place we shop, which like 2 minutes further down the road. There's one of them. Yeah. Way cheaper now. Way cheaper. Yeah. This is insane. And this, the places they are, I'm going to show H-E-B prices, which is like the normal grocery store here, not either Whole Foods or Central Market, where the prices would be even significantly higher. But people always get a little bit of sticker shock when they come to us.

And because they didn't think that a Texas city would have the same cost of living as New York or L.A.. Well, here's the question What is the next smaller city but that people might know outside of Austin? How far away is it? What are the prices there? Fredericksburg okay, so you go out to Fredericksburg and so housing prices are on par with Austin. It's $1,000,000 sterling. What are you getting over there for? Like square footage because you're out further into the burbs.

Yeah, Yeah, that's exactly right. So the the size of the house is going to be bigger. The lot size is going to be bigger, but the prices are going to be right around the same. Like there's no cheap houses, but the politics are going to be vastly different. Fredericksburg is not Austin and it's not a major city, and therefore it is greatly, predominantly conservative. I'm guessing you can get eggs for a little bit less.

You could probably eggs for free from your neighbor because most people have their own chickens. So it's like there's that where we're paying and closing in on seven bucks again for two dozen. So three and a half months, which I know and crazy seven bucks doesn't is totally normal. Well, because you like the organic the chickens. I like to play with organic ones. Yeah, I like the chickens. They have access to the internet and that costs money.

You only like the chickens that could beat up tic tac toe. Otherwise you're like your eggs are not going to be any good. Hey, man, have smart chicken eggs. Got to be to close the whole bad so that it all depends what they feed them. I mean, I watched the guy do a whole thing on the eggs and he's got an interesting YouTube channel and he goes through and the only things I've watched so far of his were eggs and chicken breasts when it comes to the cheapest, to the most expensive.

And with the eggs, he's like, if you're cooking them or anything, any kind of seasoning nobody can tell the difference between the cheapest of the most expensive. But he did say if you were doing things like, you know, you make it deviled eggs or you're making a nice, you know, fried egg, the color on the more expensive eggs because of the diet, usually a little bit more orange, rather, that there's nothing worse than cracking an egg. It's like such a light yellow.

And you're like, that doesn't look like are such interested in dinosaurs. Yeah, because they're they they're kind of like they act like herbivores, but they're actually not. They're omnivores. They'll eat everything. Whatever you grow up, they're going well, but even like, think of chicken like chickens existed before people, right? This is not something that we made.

So they kind of take up the role of a scavenger and omnivore, but they act very much like herd animals like, you know, herbivores. And the reason that they lay so many eggs is because they have very little defense mechanism. And so they could be constantly wiped out and losing a whole bunch of their flock. They just want to have more and more and more kids. Yeah, a chicken, like any normal, healthy, like year old chicken, is at any given time.

It has six eggs that is working at the same time and they're all in different stages of growth. So when it poops out a new egg and it is technically accurate to say poops out an egg because they have a cloaca, so it's a single hole that everything comes out of it. You're just trying to make those omelet seem more appetizing, aren't you? Yeah, pretty much that, you know, they're.

They're kind of like rats, in a sense, or like, cockroaches in that their solution to survival is just having a whole bunch of babies. So many assumptions that a lot of them are with a lot of them that are going to be in. Yeah, I mean, if you're racist. Sure. I didn't say I was going towards the human thing. I know. I wouldn't either. Right. I know what you were thinking. Why I said it, Just saying they're going to get wiped out. Got to keep on procreating.

Exactly. So the fact humans only have generally a couple of kids at a time, and even less these days that basically says that that evolutionarily we've actually not been particularly scared of danger of getting attacked by other animals when you kind of like, you know what, I don't want to bring kids into a world that's as screwed up as it is now. Well, I've certainly said that. Well, I was married and hence no kids. Nobody's going to inherit those billions of dollars.

You've made such a waiting. Yeah, exactly. I kept waiting for the world to get better. They have kids. It's going in the wrong direction. The Pancho Gang of Austin? Yeah. So what the hell was I going to talk about that? Because there was a something I had recently. You had some food recently? I did a good. I'm trying to remember what the what was it that I was eating. It was so memorable. You can't really. I know.

Well, I just thought last night I'm like, I guess I got a few topics I want to bring up. And then for food, we talked about this and then I made a nice plate of food, which is so delightful. nice. I would probably not mix it too, but do you, do you from the avocado in with the eggs or what do you do. We've they've done that with in a pinch just when you got some wok you can from that in otherwise just like cubed avocado as an ingredient. like as a vegetable in the correct. I see.

Along with a little bit of cheddar cheese and that I usually end up throwing in some of the little sausage and bacon things if you can get them from my All right. I think makes these things called crack. And again, they're meant for you to like put an egg or two into the little cup and then microwave it with the little bits of sausage and bacon, that cheese they give you.

But there's enough in there for, you know, if you're going to make even a six egg omelet to use that as the more than enough and it's like two bucks. I know you probably overpaying but it's ready to go. Little pieces of sausage and bacon and cheese and you just just throw them out and you can just buy those separately. I mean, I could, but then they, you know, you'd have to do the work and then you'd have to put them in little baggies of have them ready for what do you want them in the morning.

I mean, this is a very well-oiled machine of the morning. I know what I was going to mention. I remembered what I was going to mention about food. Good weather wise. I was about to send the B12 shot over for you. Right. I last night I ate a a jar of Bulgarian yogurt and what not. What is it? I saw that mentioned what it was doing that like Greek yogurt. You've mentioned the Bulgarian yogurt before. It's much better. It's much better Greek. There. It sucks. Yeah. So Bulgarian yogurt.

A lot more custard. Like more Greek. Greek yogurt is more like sour cream. Yeah. Yeah. Is that the consistency? That's it, right? Yeah. And like, you can sort of lift up the Bulgarian yogurt and kind of stays in a the whole bottle. Like what was in the container like then. Nothing that the whole can tell you but like kind of splits into a chunk, kind of like custard does if you screw stupid up or like jello, that's another way.

Boom. It's like, well, this Jell-O is Jell-O, but it's somewhere within Kathrin gel. Anyway. The distinguishing characteristic here was this is a one year old jar of Bulgarian yogurt. Now, is this something that I find a better word? Go age or No way. This is like. No. What was expiration on this? That's a year ago. And you still correct? It was a year ago. Yeah. Besides, you opened it up. Did you smell it? Like, was everything okay? Yeah, I did. I smell it. Smell like yogurt.

And this with, like, a container of blue cheese. I was like, How do you know when blue cheese goes? Yeah, it's. Yeah, yeah. Like the spoiled blue cheese has, other mold growing on it. But it shouldn't. It really shouldn't. You could. You could keep blue cheese for years. It should be fine. You just have to keep it in a closed lidded container. Yeah. Closed at the right temperature. You probably don't want it warm, cool temperature. You can have competing molds.

Like the reason blue cheddar cheese is distinct and why it tastes pretty good. At least I like it is because it has one of particular bacteria in there. And you certainly can pick up other bacteria that starts growing colonies if you just leave it out in the open. It's like a poor man's adrina chrome. I don't know about that. That's kind of stretching the definition a little. But anyway, so I tried your old yogurt so that for that tells me two things.

One is you can keep yogurt in your fridge as a proper food, at least for me. Dairy and stuff had strong. Yeah, I can't, I can't talk about the Greek or the French stuff. I mean the Greek or the French might just they might just give up right away. They might just bear. They may very well they both have way more sugar than we saw and doesn't have any sugar in it. This is.

Yeah. The only sugar it has is lactose, whereas the other ones have sucrose and modified starch, which is the worst kind of sugar. So I still have a two year old and a three year old jar of this. Why? What? What the hell is in your refrigerator? Gene, don't Don't worry about what's in my refrigerator. Like how many refrigerators they have in the house. true. Jeez. Like I forgot that I had this refrigerator back in that room. No, those two? No. And I've. No, that's in there.

I mean, I have one, two, three, four, five, five refrigerators. Certainly. Mofo is saying people avoid having GM make you breakfast. I mean, this is probably not a bad idea. I will tell you, that's not that's not a risk of that happening. So, you know, there's nothing to avoid that isn't going to happen. Dean is not inviting anybody over. I don't recall making breakfast for anyone in like 30 years. Wow. Yeah. Also explains why you're not married anymore.

Well, I was for a chunk of that time, but I don't run first. I don't mind other people making breakfast for me. I don't eat breakfast. So it would be silly for me to make breakfast. I see he's usually just eating out of the pod at that point. Exactly. Having a nice fusion there. I eat lamb all night long. I've the fusion ready to go for the. Yeah, Yeah. I get a I get a subdermal every day. What else do you need to live? I saw a clip of Kevin James. You know, the comedian King of Queens. Yeah.

I'm Joe Rogan. Yeah. Do you see that? Yeah. He fasted 41 days and I'm like, Damn, that just made Jim. You did, what, 21? Yeah. 41. Yeah. Well, the longest I've, I think is, is 25. But I also take this with a grain of salt because I know when I say the word fast, what I mean is the only thing that goes into my mouth is water. That's it. Nothing else. There's an awful lot of people and especially living in California, that uses the term fast to describe literally anything.

yeah, there's a lot of those that'll do. Like, well, all I'm consuming is honey and cayenne pepper and. Yeah, yeah, it's like, Hey, that's fucking calories. that's a lot of calories too, with enough of it. And the other thing is, you know, if, if you're, it's like if you want to just minimize calories, well you can eat like a gallon of popcorn every day and you'll lose weight because you're not getting enough calories because the popcorn is mostly air. Right.

So you and and I have heard way too many times in my life, people talk about, we're doing it fast, including the Currys recently that did a quote unquote, fast, right about the same time that I did. And I don't want to speak on their behalf. Let's just say our fast were vastly different. Ooh, and and Spotify, they're being called out. Yeah. And I'm going to see them soon here. I'm coming out their place next month, but it'd be nice for you to finally come out, Gene. I know, right?

I've been stuck in my in my house here forever, so I'm finally getting out. It's going to be good. Get some daylight, bring some wine, have some nice steaks. You get good steaks in Texas, right? We have good steaks. I do like Kansas City better as far as steaks go, but both steaks and barbecue. I find that I think the cows in the Midwest that have all four seasons, they tend to be a little better tasting than the cows here in Texas. I just have two seasons. I will agree.

There's a you can buy the particularly that brand of steak. But the the grade of steak here from the one meat company, which is the Chicago 250, which means it was raised within 250 miles of Chicago, which means it got all those seasons and, you know, maybe got shot a few times. And that makes for better station a few times. But actually that makes for way better. So I don't know that Chicago I mean, Chicago is known for a steak because it was the slaughterhouse capital of the United States.

Yeah, the back yard, the cows from everywhere else. That's some neighborhood. My parents grew up in the back of the yard. really? Yeah. They are the heirs. Yeah, it's. It's a nasty thing. I went to the slaughterhouse in Saint Paul a number of times, and it just makes me queasy like that. The permission of death is still hanging in the air all those years later. This from a guy who eats year old yogurt. Yeah. I think the guys that live the longest in the world eat. They eat your old yogurt.

Yeah, I don't know about that.
