109: Buy-Curious

Why are you still talking? This is over 2 hours now. Hello and welcome to episode number 109 of unrelenting March 22nd, 2024. We're little bit late, Jean, but we are here. Yeah, we're. Well, I mean, late for who? Late for what? People thought we relented. We had to get to a safe house. We had to make it to Jean. And Jean was taking a test and had to do a test today. So it was busy. When you love taking tests too. I do. This was on the history of Jewish intelligence. Interesting.

If you don't pass, you get a double tap. You go, There's no such thing as Mossad. I don't know what you're talking about. You have been interrogated. No, I mean, I was taking a test. No waterboarding involved. I. I think I passed. Did we make these types of jokes on IMAX? I don't know. Yeah, you could do anything. I don't. The only thing you can't talk about is, you know, men acting like women because that would get you banned for sure.

Could we play these Steve Goodman songs There are men who love women. Who love men. No, you're definitely going to get a streak for that. Like, No, that's too confusing. The No Agenda stream. We can do anything there. As one of them, Rose approves. Otherwise he takes the stream down and says that, well, it's his stream. So you know, he's streaming. He's an old guy. You know, you get the older you get, the more problems you have.

Streaming first, though, they say, or or is it just that your streams get longer? Maybe. But I dig this thing. I just have to go now. Go in and start creating a bunch of different scenes or whatever they call it in obs because that's where it is all created. So you can have the video aspect to go along with it. Then we can just uploaded to YouTube as well where everybody will be excited to be unrelenting. that's going to last two episodes on YouTube and then go there.

Like, what are these guys talking about? Well, YouTube has really good, you know, for various purposes, text to speech to text or whatever. Yes. So very quickly, they understand what the show is about. They they this is why when you watch videos on YouTube from gun guys, there's a lot of code words used, man, that's killing and it's yeah, there's a lot of words that YouTube will not let you put into a video. What kind of code words? This one.

What words have to be replaced and what kind of things are the because this was always my concept when anything having to do with death. I think so instead of saying voluntary or otherwise. So instead of board by the same person or of other people, it's like puppies. So then they will wind up puppies. And that's that means dead people like, I get it. Which was always light, never made sense for there to be those protected words that you can't say because that all that does is create doublespeak.

Right? It just means you need to come up with another word to mean the same thing, which the Southerners, they've gotten that down. A lot of people don't know when somebody is that really southern. bless your heart. Doesn't mean they're really blessed. Be true. Yeah. No, definitely not So it's all very interesting is what you can say what you can't say here on the air. There's a fat dude from Alabama that does a YouTube show, which is really good, where it's all about Southern related thing.

I mean, I can just see fat there. He's a comedian, he's funny, but his humor is all around Southern language and lifestyle and everything else. And his whole thing is God bless him or the name of that. But that's it. Remember to press the start button. But it's okay. I have backup recordings for the first couple of minutes of the show. Okay. I'm saying, well, you have more buttons to press. I know now when you're going live on multiple things, this is what you need.

The one simple interface, which is why these companies that have it are able to charge you your 20 or 30 bucks a month where it's like, well, you could be live on that. You could be live on TV one, be live on it records everything, too. It's amazing. You could be live on everything for like, I think re stream is the big one.

The big dog in that space but they'll they'll recorded they'll stream it to everybody at the same time and I think it's 20 to 25 bucks a month something like I Fletcher did as they say but I have a backup recording so nobody would have known him except not the people listen anyway. No. Well, that's why I was intrigued though, the other day when we were live on Ex with the grumpy old band, the show I do on Wednesday. Right. And we had more people hit the show than we did on the stream.

But when you look at the analytics that you realize it's only for brief amounts of time because Twitter, although they have just changed this according to our buddy Greg Speed or they're about to to allow people to listen to these broadcasts in a minimized sense while they still go, Yeah, look, I know exactly what you're talking about or interrupt you, but I fully agree with that. As one of the big annoyances, especially in a web browser, less so on the app, but more so on the web browser.

If you start if you click on watching or listening something, you can't keep reading messages like you're seeing as you move on to the next message, it stops. So they need to be able to pop that out and keep going. And it seems that's what they're doing, which would be quite cool. And the main thing is not to I don't think, have people engaged and listen to a two hour show on acts, but it's a great way since everybody that's following you gets the this person is live.

I think it helps a lot to at least get shows noticed. You know, X can start taking some of the podcast usage away if they wanted to. They were smart. What they would do is basically create a podcast like Interface for any past media released by people that you follow. And then it'd be essentially it would just have little channels and channels, channels in there. So I go to different look at that.

The last 12 episodes are on there and I think here's the last five episodes of Grumpy Old Bands or whatever, right? And if you could create those and it's kind of like YouTube where you can have separate playlists for different things, right? Well, you probably have to have a business account for that, I would imagine, which we think must does cost money, right? But it would be well worth it, I think is right off the bat.

This for the $8 a month to be able to stream the audio to be monetized right on there so you can avoid credit cards. Yeah they always want your money though. Or SATs or whatever. You got to get your satoshis. I looked the other day and I was like, Damn, that's a lot of satoshis the because I had really all of the except for very, very early on. And this was a very, very small amount that I use through the app.

The one other app I forget what it was even called, one of the early apps that you could stream the satoshis on. That was probably, you know, next to nothing. I would be I would be surprised if it was more than $10 and satoshis that I had flow through that before we got to the get Albee and pod verse. And when I went and looked the other day because I couldn't figure out, I'm like I was trying to boost my buddy Fletcher, and it wouldn't do it. And I'm like, you know what?

I change my app password. I had to reset it, so I had to go in and on connect it and reconnect it. You know, it's a pain in the ass because you're Yeah, yeah. You've got browsers and all these other things interacting. Sure. And I realized it shows you a grand total from get Albee what you have sent out in this case to pod verse, which was anything that I had sent some satoshis over to the podcasting 2.0 guys, you know, Adam and Dave.

Yeah, I've heard them have sent some stuff over to that to our folk hour of send stuff over to fun fact Friday to Rare Encounter. There was a bunch of shows I boosted and it was well over a million sets and I'm like, Wow, that's real freaking money. Should I know as real money? Because what it does, it tends millions, sets a bitcoin or something. It's worth more, I think more than that. But still it is. Let's find out. Yeah. How many stats is a bitcoin?

Don't you have a talking tube that will tell you that? I do, but I don't have the talking to plugged into my microphone so you wouldn't hear it right now. A million. It's 100 million. 200 million sort of right. 1 million right now is $635. Now, of course, we had the price that a lot of that went out. Ours was about a quarter of that. So it makes it a little less.

But it's like if you would've just saved all of those sets, like, you know, I didn't I mean, I looked also at the the millions that went to the gift cards and everything else. really? Yeah. yeah. Well, yeah, because it's like, I always think Bitcoin is just going to crash at some point. Take it out a million. Yeah. Know, crash up to $1,000,000. Yeah. If it makes it up to a million bucks, we're all okay. If, of course, that'll mean it's $1,000,000 to buy a bottle of water at the grocery store.

Yeah, exactly. I was going to say, well, you know, there's two ways for Bitcoin to be worth $1,000,000 and one of them doesn't involve the Bitcoin going up at all. Right? It's the other it's just called inflation of the US dollar. And I like it. Once I realized you could use the little siren emojis in the title of your things on X. So now it's like unrelenting ly with the little side means on both sides. We got 23 people have already checked on that stream, which is interesting.

We think that now 28 tell a friend, repost it, tell everybody that we're here. That's all. We're like, We're here. We have nothing else to say except we're here though. Yeah, well, we are here slightly later, but we're. We're sure enough. And everybody's like, soon more. Man, I'll just had some some mac and cheese for lunch that I have to make in a hurry. In about 15 minutes. There's your carbo load. yeah, it's. I mean, it's nothing but calories basically. But it was, it was pretty good.

There was Mac and cheese and white cheddar with, with burnt ends. You. So you got some of your brisket in this too. Yeah. Now people are always surprised. They're like, Dude, you're an asshole this morning asshole. The me that. yeah yeah. Okay. Yeah. People aren't surprised. Nobody thinks I'm an asshole. no, nobody at all. The troll ribs are ready like I'm on. But the wife has a having a bout of diverticulitis.

Went in to see the doctor yesterday and they told her a clear liquid diet for two days. So this morning. Okay, so a fast. Yes it is. You can have water, you can have jello, you can have a broth, bone broth. So you can at least get some protein, but nothing solid whatsoever. And I woke up this morning, mean I could have waited until she was born. You know, once she leaves for work, I'm like, no, I have three slices of Texas toast left.

I could make some really good French toast, a couple of slices of bacon and I something I never do, which is put whipped cream on the French toast. I'm like, shit, I got whipped cream. So I was that asshole, which was like, can't eat anything. I'm all I know. It's like, that's it's the one day Darren decides to cook good, tasty food every day to go crazy. Sorry, honey, because otherwise it's just like I make omelets with regularity, you know, Nice scrambled eggs, you know, usually not bacon.

And we had gone off the bacon for over a year, and it's like that. Damn, I know. Well, what can they do for you? I mean, it's the the fat and the bacon, of course. No good for you, but. it's something good for you. What are you talking about? It depends what you're trying to do, because the last time that it's a better for cooking than cedar oils. yeah, of course. But the last one, that's what I when I, when I make make sure to drink again. No you're not, you're not. Sorry, I actually am.

I'm going to keep doing it, but I'm sorry, but I when I cook bacon, I do it in the fryer. Deep fryer of the brand you told me to buy. Yeah, the nice stuff. Yeah. And the one that I've have got a nice little basket thing that kind of holds up the bacon higher and that's all the fat dripped down as it's cooking.

And then what I'll do is I'll, I'll collect the fat from that and then store it and you know, as long as you don't give oxygen, you don't have the fat, get oxidized, basically put a cover in it all. It means. Right. Do you have to refrigerate that or just. Nope. Nope. Do not have to refrigerate it. Keep it out in the open. It has to not be in contact with action. Luckily, my house doesn't have any. So going to sit there, you just keep pumping your CO2. Exactly. That is like.

And I like that. Thank you very much. And you have to strain it, I'm assuming, because you get otherwise little bits. Do you like put that through? No, dude, that's amazing. There are no bits of anything in there. And when I cook my bacon and maybe it's the type of bacon I always buy the thick slice bacon. Yeah, I love super sexy. Yeah, They're just like, melt ice. And then the the pieces don't crumble. They don't break off. They stay together.

I feel like the super sudden bacon would definitely have a lot of bits you'd have to strain. But this stuff you don't have to strain at all. Yeah, Yeah. It's a nice. And you get a nice white kind of consistency. I'd say it's, it's soft right. It's not like hard fat. So it's probably the consistency of like cold whipped cream. So not warm with cream, but like, cold whipped cream.

So you can, you know, very easily mush it around with your finger, but you can also use a spoon to pick up more than the volume of the spoon because it'll, you know, keep some clumped together. And that's a heaping spoonful, heaping spoons. Exactly. Of bacon, fat. And then they use that to cook other things down, which the great thing about bacon fat is it's fairly high temperature. It's not super high, but it's fairly high temperature. So you're not going to smoke and burn it.

It has a very light flavor. It doesn't completely have a overwhelming flavor, but you do taste just a little bit of that nice smoky bacon and and, you know, like it stays on the counter without needing refrigeration, which is great. John, that's your story. I was just going to say that I'm not going to interrupt you anymore because no doubt at all the last time I lost weight, it was eating the bacon every day. that reminds me. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just kidding. No, it does.

Do I had what does it remind you of of interrupting you right. But it really it were I mean this is goes along with the Quito thing because a lot of people are like yeah you know the Quito it's it's the oddest diet and I don't know there's a lot of people who don't think it's healthy at all these doctors that have recommended it to me, you know, something like don't ever do that. Still a healthy in any doctor that doesn't understand ketogenic diet in moderation with anything.

I don't know if you'd want to live that way for forever. We're made. We are designed to be that way. The whole reason that we can go into ketogenic is because our bodies are made to eat occasionally. This is why fasting is becoming more popular as well. Did you know our ancestors? Yeah, of course. Because the food industry is paying doctors to attack it, so. Yeah. No, no, no, no. You're going to. You're going to have more heart attack. You're going to have more strokes.

Such bullshit. That's total bullshit. There's no scientific evidence of that whatsoever. If you notice the weed, the weed and the fasting are causing the same things and people and yeah, it's amazing. Yeah. A drug that makes you relax and food that is devoid of toxic sugar. Both of those will cause heart attacks. What a lot of bullshit. We don't provide medical advice on this show, so don't take any. But that is utter total bullshit. And one of the good signs of something is bullshit.

You can you can look for. This is when they talk about studies and then you look at the study and then you realize or it says right in there should.

It's a meta study and a better study is basically usually a grad student looking through reading five, six, seven, eight different studies, and then coming to their own conclusion about something which the studies may well now have even measured for and therefore may have effects within the studies that would prevent those conclusions from being drawn. But since it's a matter study, it's looking at the results of a bunch of different studies, right? It's all kind of glossed over in work.

So anytime you see a meta study, just take it with a very large grain of salt about the size of a beer, and we're going to get more and more of that now that we have the large language and you can have a crank them out for you even. Exactly. That's it. Now, you could just put all this stuff in and be like, What do you take away from this data?

And then we got dueling troll rooms, which is great that we have CSB in the one on the X because he won't go in the other troll room while that's he's a wise man. I've always said since V is a very wise man there's a nice so Chris Clark in the morning It's an interesting one I'm digging it and I the one thing I don't like so far because that was I couldn't figure out the difference.

There's two different things that always pop up and that's one are the video broadcasts like we're doing here, even though it's audio only, there's a video slide there and we can do video. And that's what like Scott Adams and other people do. And then there were the thing called spaces, and it's like, well, there's multiple people talking and interacting. It's like, you can't start a space from the web yet. Like, I really I haven't tried.

But yeah, the problem with there's so many, there's many problems with space. So one okay, but you, you've got a phone, you could use your phone for that. I could and then just Yeah, but then you feel like here's something to interface your microphone into it because I don't know. Otherwise, if I can even know you can, you can join. I'm pretty sure you can join mine on your computer. I know you can join to listen up. You just start on your phone. I think you can. I'll try it. I'm.

I think you can. I'll try it. But it's you. The sound quality, though, is atrocious. If you listen to them. It's not just because they're using phones, because that whole like that was an acquisition for for X, for Twitter, a company that created that and they were using crappy Kodak from what I could tell were, you know, codecs that would work very well for your phone. Was this the like clubhouse or whatever that was? It was a knockoff of clubhouse.

Yeah, it was a total 1 to 1 knockoff clubhouse. Yep. but everybody could talk to each other and I'm like, wait, you could have like 12 people talking at the same time? That does not work. We could literally do this with Zoom right now by you and I, being in the Zoom main channel and then people being able to move into focus rooms. Yes. Like it's done in businesses all the time. It's not a new thing at all.

But why would you want to talk voice when you're trying to listen to somebody else doing a show that it makes no sense to me? No, no. I get it for doing kind of a talk radio format. There is still a need to be able to get people into the recording easily and then out of the recording easily. And so far there are great solutions for that. Does I think that would be an interesting concept.

I've talked about that with my buddy Larry in this show I think would also work well if we could take easily callers besides just getting a Google voice number, because the Google Voice audio quality also sucks even worse. Like Google Voice hasn't been updated since it was first put out there 20 years ago when it was supposed to sound like the old Potts phone that was on your wall or like phones around the wall. I don't get it. There is an episode of something I recently watched.

no, it was a video game I was playing. Really. It's getting harder to tell the difference between video games. Really. Entertainment really is. I mean, and visually cyberpunk looks like fucking video. And the only like, people will know I've been playing this because I've been posting images from the game. Yeah. Dystopian X, but in there there's one instance storyline, mission, whatever, where one of the characters is finds an old wall phone and by old I mean like modern in our times.

But this is, you know, 77 was it push button or was it a dial? Rotary It was a push button. so that's and, and she picked up the headset and she's not sure what to do with it. It's just kind of holding up like how you would hold a cell phone in your hand. And then the other character, which is Johnny Silverhand, who's played by what's his Face, The Matrix guy. Give me Al Reeves. Yeah, Yeah. By Reeves. He's like, correcting her. No, you put this next to your ear so you can listen.

So, yeah, we're drifting away from the era of people even knowing how to like, use a phone in the sense that you put put it next to your head. Because a lot of people currently a lot of people 20 and under, let's say for sure, they've never actually held a cell phone up to their ear. No, they talking to speaker and they put it in front of their mouth. Yeah. They hold it like this pizza in front their mouth.

They talk on the speaker phone or they use the Bluetooth earbuds like the idea of actually putting a screen next to your head and having, like it get messy and greasy from the gel in your hair makes no fucking sense to anybody that's younger and they have radiation they put out. It's a lot better than it used to be, I'll tell you that. But my phones, 5G, you know, still enough things could happen.

Probably worse cancer that's saying that causes it I'm I know I'm not saying it causes it and then speaking of studies, there are a study that I retweeted re xt re ex ified the other day of that was done on looking at cancer rates and people that took the m RNA vaccines and things are not looking good going up, are they? yeah. And that's one of these things. Cancer usually is a very slow moving disease.

I mean, there are some that are very aggressive, some forms, but for a lot of it, if you're not getting screened, you're not going to know until your stage three, stage four. And even then, some people never get symptoms, you know, I mean, you'll die. There'll be that. Yeah, it could happen. Cancer is is really a group of diseases. It's a whole category of stuff that has to do with a malfunctioning DNA replication mechanism. Well, now we could rewind your DNA.

Yeah. And when you have medical treatments, some would call bioweapon that rewrites your DNA. It's shouldn't really be surprising that that may result in a higher percentage of DNA errors that ultimately could lead to cancer would make sense. Yeah. I mean, it's the way that this this MRI and I ever I can't take this MRI in the treatment was sold was as a whole.

It's just like a vaccine let's just call the vaccine even though it's not really a vaccine because of the difference being for 100 years, the definition of vaccine was an injection of viral particles into the body that allows the body's own immune system to analyze those particles and then create appropriate antibodies. And then if you encounter a full blown strain of that virus, your body already has the formula or the the antibodies to fight it.

Otherwise, there's no reason to take a vaccine in general. So the what the vaccine does is it it teaches your body pre full on blown disease and how to fight disease makes sense. What Mani does is completely not that what we got in this version of RNA vaccines was essentially, hey, we can trick the body's own cells into manufacturing a protein by encoding those instructions in RNA, which we're now fully capable of doing.

And then effectively and it's a great idea on paper we can get the body to manufacture the viral particles inside the body that it can then use to learn how to fight against those particles using its own immune system. And nobody really thought about the idea of like, Well, wait a minute, if your body is creating the viral particles that it's supposed to use to train on it, could that pass, you know, create some problems for the body? Because now you're using it for both learning and creating.

And, you know, I think maybe with 50 years of research and not on humans, but, you know, other animals that we don't like to talk about are used in medicine, We'll do that maybe after 50 years we can come up. But it's cruel to use those other animals. Well, you know, I mean, you don't really think monkeys have a soul or anything, do you? Do you think humans do? Probably not. See, there's the problem, so. Well, that was that was my sneaky way of saying humans don't either.

You realize that we are monkeys. But. But I think maybe someday this could work. But once you get to that point, it's just as likely that we'd be able to simply skip the step of using the body to learn how to fight a virus and just simply give the body the complete instructions for creating the the antibodies, the antiviral antibodies immediately, like bypassing the whole training exercise, because by definition, what used to be the definition, that's what we've been doing with the vaccines.

Vaccines were about training the body to create antibodies. Well, if I learned anything from HAL, what show was it? Gunsmoke. One of those old Rawhide. One of those? Maybe it was Rawhide, The vaccines. They had smallpox on smallpox, Right. And it's like, well, you take a little bit of the pus coming off. This is so great. We're labeled as a comedy show. People may die, you know, they make it out of three.

But it's a great we'll take some of the pus out of the sick cow and then we'll cut your kid's arm and we'll put a little bit of the pus in there. And that's going to keep him there. And that's how far back we go with the concepts of this. The one thing about the RNA that I don't understand is we were originally told am I have not gotten any evidence that explains how it's any different.

But we were originally told that the spike protein that is part of this particular thing is pretty much the same thing that the common cold has. The common cold? Yes, it has the outside envelope, if you will, of the. And the common cold is obviously also a group of viruses. Yes. They're all coronaviruses. Well, they're rhinoviruses, but they're the outside has that spike protein sort of if you think of it as an apple, the spike protein is the peel.

It's the thing that protects the delicate internal virus itself from being damaged. So what happened from it's kind of just the wrapping, which isn't the dangerous part. How did we get to. Well, no, it's creating the spike protein, which is killing people. Does it? Yeah. Well, I jumped into that direction, and I still don't understand.

I think the reason for that, I think, is because we're trying to do two things at once, which is it'd be one thing if the vaccine was a synthetically created in the lab without using cow plus version of the that protein. It's like it was it was if it was a mathematically built protein that is based on the copy of what the the the sayers of 19 would have and then ship that out and inside of the envelope if it was just empty. Right.

So they because the actual viral instructions, the contents is inside. So what we're calling for, what we're trying to do is introduce what the outside looks like and to people so they know how to respond to the outside when they see it with the antibodies and ignore this are their body doesn't absorb it like this and basically say, this is crap, let's kill it.

And and a lot of times the way if you actually it's kind of cool if you watch in the microscope the way the white blood cells deal with these viruses because they're simple particles, they're tiny, but they're still particles is they will literally wrap themselves fully around it like snot, preventing it from attaching to anything. And then eventually it just gets flushed out, you know, through your kidneys and stuff. And it goes out your body or, you know, out of your nose.

It comes out one way or the other. Point is it can't stick to anything. So that's what one of the ways that's the only way. It's one of the ways that the the our antibodies work is by encapsulating these viral little pods. And the the idea sounds good.

Here's I think the mistake that was made is somebody came up with this brilliant idea that, hey, we can save money because instead of artificially manufacturing all this and having to then ship 300 million units or whatever of this artificially manufactured, hollowed out, empty shell of spike proteins, you know, the human body, basically it's just a computer. It'll read code. We know how to make the code. It's called m RNA. We know exactly how that works.

We've watched YouTube videos that explain it all, and it's really easy for us to use m RNA and just tell the body itself to build this little hollow shell with nothing inside of it. And then it'll train itself on something that it itself built because we're smart. That's where I think the problem lies, is the, the idea of using m RNA to create a virus should have never happened. Makes sense. Yeah. I mean, start on something simple.

How might we make m rna that like, let's say, kills fat cells or something like something that's useful but not life threatening? But what? I mean, why this was this? Because obviously there were not many vaccines, but that seemed to be in the minority. Why did they rush to use it? Johnson Johnson was the only one that did. They'll wear that. But why? You know, that's what didn't make sense. I think it's cause first and foremost, of course. Secondly, it's being first of the bunch.

It's showing this new technology and demonstrating how cool and awesome we are. We've probably now have mapped out the human body. We can literally tweak like computer code. We are gods. We will live forever. Yeah, potentially. I mean, we probably going to need to transfer your matrix out of your initial body to a new one. But yeah, once we can figure out how to insert the SD card, you know, you know that for the people that typically I know the listeners.

So how many of them are listening to this? If you're a developer, you all know either in yourself or somebody else. When you went to school and you first learned a I don't want to say your first program, but your first major program that you did in college as part of your computer science classes, and then it worked and it wasn't you looking up because there's plenty of people that do this all the time. Just look up code online and then copy and paste, copy, paste and paste the copy paste.

So happens quite a bit. But if you had to like maybe for a test for an exam or maybe your final or maybe a research, probably, you know, grad project. So you had to write a piece of code from scratch that did something that you couldn't just type into Google and find the equivalent example of it had to be unique. And first time you do that, it is an amazing feeling. You're you're just like bathing in endorphins, like whole I am hard shit. I agree.

You know this I created something or you know, it's a feeling that you often repeat when your products are released or if you don't release like a lot of stuff that I haven't been programing for professionally for like 25 years, but non professionally, I've been writing game mods and things like that. And when you occasionally look over like, there's 10,000 people that have downloaded and installed my thing that I wrote for myself.

And you stole all their spaceships because there was a back door in there. Exactly. Always leave a back door. Kids. Remember, it's the first rule of programing are always have a back door. And then the second rule is always take a fraction of a penny for yourself. Exactly the opposite. Never get in trouble that way, right? Yeah, exactly. Nobody will notice. No one's covered. No. No one's ever given notice as they count cells up to millions of dollars.

Yeah. So I think that's what happened for the the biological developers out there, for the guys that decided to use CRISPR. It's like, we do this CRISPR all the time. We can create anything. We can create our own viruses, we can create our own antibodies, We can create anything by basically just supplying instruction. We've actually figured out we've reverse engineered DNA instructions so we can tell the the cell itself to build virtually anything.

And this is, by the way, how we're going to end up with having farm grown or genetically grown meats and fats and proteins and everything else. It's something that has never been in an animal, has never been a plant. It's just producing a particular type of food for us, Right? Well, yeah, your burgers will be like, this is great meat that was grown in a test tube. It's not a test tube, but yeah, yeah, the concept is still very weird.

It's in Cyberpunk 2077 on which this video is totally not sponsored by. There is a there audio there. All the meat. There is fake meat. Like, you know, nobody can afford to actually kill a cow to eat it. That's crazy expensive. Soon we'll just have the Star Trek replicator. Yeah, well, that's that. We could have if we switched to nuclear power. The problem is nobody wants to go nuclear. Does. They're doesn't take a massive amount of power.

This is the beauty of that is if you lose DNA, if you use CRISPR, you can create this shit for way less energy than using a replicator. Well, this is the future of medicine, which will be the generic that's generically made. But rather than having just a painkiller that you give everybody, yeah, they'll look at your DNA and you will have things formulated specifically for you. You know how I talked about how I'm very insensitive to THC? Yes, you can smoke all the weed in the world.

You don't feel a goddamn thing. Yeah, exactly. And this is like a superpower. If you want to go, like, take advantage of stoners. Yeah. So, I don't know. I've never thought of it that way. But imagine if could have that be a essentially, you know, a pill or something that is or you get a shot and all of a sudden your body just does not use THC anymore. It doesn't observe it or alcohol or alcohol or whatever.

Yeah, you mean it's like if you are an alcoholic, if you could get a shot that makes your body incapable of you giving you the type of reaction that you've come to expect from alcohol like you can't get drunk from anymore, right. Because it's not interacting. You're none of your brain bits are affected by alcohol anymore. That would both tell the alcohol production industry so they'd be opposed to it and also completely wiped out addiction. This is exactly what these drugs are doing, like deals.

Epic's right to keep people from eating. I was here, I went 48 hours and I wasn't even hungry. yeah, I think it's a little bullshit. I will say that because, you know, I take this stuff and I'm not losing weight, so it's like a me. You're like, I can eat those epic. You watch me, you have to give them the frame of mind where you're eating for visual pleasure instead of hunger. And then you can still keep all the weight that you want. That's the trick.

And I can tell you that from firsthand experience. It's not about being hungry. It's about looking at food as something pleasurable to look at in your mouth. Well, it is such a social thing, although I think that is one of the things that is very quickly going away as restaurant prices rise for a vast majority of people, that when you got behind body, you're still going out to eat. Well, first of all, Gene, money is very little money.

So I wouldn't I wouldn't want to impose on people going out to eat with money. But I did go to folk with the charity yesterday with a buddy of mine and, you know, I mean, hundred $20 lunch easily. Yeah, that was just like, really good. Who's going to be the last one to reach for the tractor? Is it? You know, it's funny because he went to the bathroom just as a check, right? That's a rookie move. I'm like, You fucking you. You're not the only one at this table of that religion that is there.

And so he comes back and I'm like, you got cash, right? And he's like, Yeah, you spot me. Perfect. Perfect. I thought, so. Can you pick you get this one right? I'll get the next one. So no, it's better than that because I had him pay me in cash that I can get the full points. you got the miles, right? Yeah. Does anybody still get miles? No, I just trade them in for cash right away. You got the apple card. You get 3% towards your next Apple purchase. You got. I don't have the Apple one.

They wouldn't accept me. I'm like a liberal enough for them. yeah. They do a full background check before you get the apple card. Damn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got the hand. You if you've if you posted something against Ukraine, you're not getting the apple card. No apple card for you. Damn Apple card for me. No. But it seem can deal just through a different bank where I get, I get money back. Yeah. That's why I like the Amex blue with it.

We use all elderly for groceries because they do 3% back on groceries and that's it. I need to look at H-E-B's card. I think they keep that advertising in. I think they do like 4% back for groceries and they're on the credit card. And I can tell you right now that percentage makes a difference. Well, you know, I routinely trade in like $100 in cash back on the card, But that's what you need to do. Make sure you use it.

It was horrible back in the day, what it was like, you could only use it for travel or you could only use it by ordering from our list of very good Mamoru Horrible because I remember you could always get like gift cards and I from my business card that I had for traveling, that everything on that card was fully reimbursed. So I, it wasn't like I was spending my own money. And then when somebody else paying bill come on, just the credit. I'll only use it for emergencies, I promise.

And then every every month I would get a $100 gift card for my event. The way it used to do whatever. And she got so used to it that I remember when I one month I wasn't traveling much. It was like, Hey, where's the you forgot to give me my gift card. I got to get my Brazilian and wait until next year because that's not enough. She got those. Just just like the camera's. Good guess. Okay. Yeah. Turn the cameras off. He's catching up. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Well, you would have have to have the cameras back 15, 18 years ago or whatever it was. Yeah. They weren't high enough back then. No, no, sadly, they were not. But yeah, it was, it was very convenient because essentially I got to give her something without spending any of my own money and I got to have all my bills paid for by clients so I didn't have to spend any money or I didn't have to store any money myself. It's a win win. Yeah, it is a beautiful thing. The points are nice.

Make sure you are optimizing them. There's nothing worse is when the wife was driving 45 minutes each day back and forth to work was putting a lot of gas in the car. Again, huge difference between the cards that everything's 1% for the ones that'll give you a 2% on gas. That's right. You can really add up quick. Yeah. Now I'm kind of looking at it as well. If I, if I say I'm going to get a new machine because this one's three years old, like, well, how do I want to pay for this?

Because I'd like to tax deduction. I don't know if you can get a tax deduction if you pay for that with gift cards. I don't know if that makes a difference. Probably not, because you can still show you purchased it. Right. This is not tax advice. This is not legal of. No, no, we don't do does tax advice, legal advice, medical advice or advertising. So in that vein, would you like to read the Instagram in your area if you'd like to read it? I mean, I just saw that pop up.

Our buddy CSB, he wants you to get into some of the really some good cyberpunk, I guess, dive dive into the future with Cyberpunk 2077. In the world of cyber in the hands of street warriors, tech savvy netballers and corporate life hackers, every choice shapes the story around you. Explore the vast open world city of night city where the only limits are those you set for yourself. Did it all at WW that CSP No.

WW That cyberpunk dot net yo says CSB that was you just doing commercials for random games now you see I mean who does that? He is doing ads for games now, which is hilarious, but it's a good game. I think that they had a very rocky start when it came out about three years ago.

It was honestly released before it was done and a lot of people lambasted back at the time and in the last three years, they've done a great job of first getting it fully polished and free and then more recently last October, releasing the first DLC for it, which adds a huge amount of new content to the game. It's almost doubled the size of the game and polishes things even further.

So, you know, at this point, having been out for three years, it still requires top end computing power to really see all the beauty in that. And it is a gorgeous game. It was it's almost it's like 95% of the way to full film graphics So the almost doesn't look like the game looks more like you're watching a video while that is a 5000 stats from CSB that's $3.20 right now And if you don't know what that's all about, streaming stats which is sending a boost to Graham go to New podcast app XCOM.

Our buddy No beret he sent in $5 the old fashioned way downstairs so that's more than 5000 sets. Yeah he says super shouty voice, please. Hey, everybody, check out Planet Rage that show most Mondays with the greatest duo on the know what you have this dream. Throw it down, baby. And after check out No wonder scored beret on at XCOM for pointy tricks and Mopar muscle. Yeah he's on right after that no underscore beret that's his name on X Yeah but he was doing a CSP and he's paid.

Well you are? Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say he is a no brainer. Are you streaming on X and if not, why not? And if you need help with that, let us know. We can walk you through it and that we both know how to do it. The biggest pain in the ass was Geez, I need obs again to do something. And I figured out with one that I was totally misusing a lot of the stuff on the MOTU because there's only three total groups I think you can do them. And I was my default. Yeah.

For things that I didn't know. I don't know if. Could you add more groups to it? If there is, I didn't see a way to do it. Although the in the interface I may have missed that. But what I did there then is take because I was already had it set up to do a mix minus. So it was nice and easy to take channel for my, my channel for your, my channel for the music. Send them all through there, put them to a basic level and then send them to OBS. And once it hit obs, I did another light compression.

So I think that all added up means in the end result nothing should be. And it should also sound a lot more like FM radio. Yeah, a lot of compression baby. Like tons of compression is the worst thing in the world though is what one things really low and then one's high. Yeah I've heard that twice now on two episodes where even with the leveler, Ben was just way too fucking quiet. You're like, You got to jump set up, but you got it. Yeah, well, I have him boosted like, 12 decibels.

Dude, it's not on my end. It was on his end. So finally he reinstalled the firmware in the normal. Do I think you're like, you got to jack them dog biscuits up. And it's. It's one thing I didn't realize at first when you're setting up and OBS is the audio changes I mean I guess it makes sense but everything they call a scene, the audio is changing So you can do a thing where I could just be like, Jean solo.

And that way it would totally cut my microphone off and yeah, you know, for that brief period of time you wouldn't be able to hear that. I don't know if I would ever have a reason to do that, but it was like, crap, I got to go off and do a, you know, bathroom break for a few minutes while the other person stock.

It's a good way of making sure you're you're Mike isn't going to pick up the flushing sound so I mean that's I have one for all the different podcasts we're just have a static image for you know the throw out to YouTube or to acts or wherever. But then we could just create new scenes if we want to then bring that into video with the two little scenes there. I've been using them. I actually use OBS for my Zoom meetings for business people, like how do you do all this fancy stuff?

I know, right? That's like, it's magic. Haha. I'm not going to tell you it's a business. look, I've got a white background just like Steve Jobs. look, I've got a black background here. no, no. Now I'm standing in a meeting room and there's people walking around behind me. Yeah, I like video backgrounds. They look way better than static backgrounds. Well, yeah, they will fool people into thinking. Yeah, they were totally full people. And I had. I did.

I was on a call with a bunch of people and they had my back from my actual moving background, which is a view out the window in cyberpunk. So there's like cars flying by and smokestacks spewing smoke and, you know, ads for all kinds of things. And at some point somebody says, Man, yeah, you got a great, great condo there. It's like, I love the view from your back with like, yeah, thanks. Yeah. It's, you know, the ask me 10,000 ads.

I would have I have it set up to look like a realistic room and then I would just have something insane fly by on the outside, you know, like a pterodactyl or something. Just quick enough that if people just it out of the corner of their eye, they'd be like 100, Is that where the hell is he? Yeah, there'd be a great idea. I still think. Yeah. Video though, of video. I'll tell you what, video's a lot more fun to do if you're not on camera. Yes.

yeah and this is where I think if we get to the point where you and I do video, it'll probably be using these little I 3D model doodads, cartoon characters, whatever you want to call them. So like the Rolling Sands girls do it literally. I mean, if you like, let's be honest, folks, if you get a want to look at video while we're talking, would you rather not be looking at some hot, buxom babes, too? We can just two of us totally unrelated videos in the I mean, yeah, that's like like that.

yeah. When they do work. I'm a gamer. I'm showing you the game background. yeah. I got a game for every here. Hey, there. There's a and I sent you a few of these, like, you know, professional YouTube twitch people that do the cartoon stuff. It's a lot of fucking work. Like to do. Well, it's first of all, it's not a cheap investment because you're you're three D what do they call them? It's an animatronic. It's the opposite of animatronic avatar. Yeah.

It's basically you put on a scuba suit is what it looks like. That is measuring all your movement in real time and then controlling them as movements of your avatar in the software. And these suits are about $12,000. The the head unit that tracking your eyes and lips and movements on your face, that could be done by a phone on the cheap side. So thousand bucks or it's a it's a dedicated camera, you know, doing that, that's even more expensive and it sticks out in front of your face.

So you're like you're basically looking at a screen with a camera stuck in front of you, looking at you. It's not pleasant. The end results look great. But as far as the, as far as the person that's behind the camera, I don't think it's particularly fun. So what we would probably do is just have a couple of avatars that maybe are using a camera to move their lips when we talk. Well, a lot of those just go based upon the audio that is being fed, I think.

I mean, they can, but it depends if you're doing live, they usually use a camera to look at you. If you are playing back audio, they can be used to fake. But that that looks way worse. The goal is usually to do the Tim Poole thing and have your little part of the screen be like 120 after 1/30 of the screen. Just a little. Yeah, exactly. If it's tiny and then you don't notice most things. Yeah. And we look, we've tried video in the past, right? Like a year and a half ago.

Yeah. I recall something about that over a year ago. Yeah. No, over a year and a half ago. I think we tried it back in December of 2022 and it's a pain in the ass cause I'm always looking after. Looking to the right. Yeah. And you're like, you know, you're blind, so you're basically moving your head around trying to read things, you know, trying to see what the hell is out of the screen. I don't need really good monitors anymore to make everything better, but you need a bigger monitor. Exactly.

So it's I don't think the video should be a necessarily so, but having something at least video really. This is why I when I was doing it, all I did was put the UV emitters up. So at least people see the meters moving it. We can do that as well with the, you know, put the logo there and I'm sure we can have something come up that would recreate something like that. So it wasn't just right. I'll just do several messaging that just keeps flashing in like 1/60 of a second.

Send us money, send us set said they're spending all this money just over and over and over. So while you're listening, we don't mention things, but you're like, Man, how do I send these guys money? We'd really like to do that. You could just think, How would somebody send this money? Do we have a PayPal for that or anything? Yeah, Unrelenting dot show is where you want to go. Click that donate button or go into a podcasting 2.0 app and just search for unrelenting. Yeah, support the damn show.

Otherwise it might disappear. It won't be here next week. Which I mean is a good Friday, so we may not be here next week. Anyway, the wife's off. So what does that mean? Good holiday. So we can do every Thursday. I know, but we've done a Christmas show. I mean, I don't see. Why would they get right out Christmas Day, though? Have we done a Christmas show? I don't recall Christmas. No, we did Christmas Eve around. It was one of those Christmas Eve day. Christmas Eve, Eve, Christmas Eve, morning.

Christmas Eve in the morning. Yeah. Are you getting them? Better to do whatever. I got nothing better to do. I need to give it one day. I'm going to go this weekend to I guess tomorrow. Now I should go and go to a gun show in Houston. How many are you buying? How many you sell and what do you got going on? None. And maybe one. You ever mind selling one of the one of my guns? Cause it's kind of I don't really need it. Well, that's because you have 4000 others. I know. Not really looking to

buy anything. I'm more curious. Do you five there in that what you're suggesting? I'm more curious. I said not be curious. But interesting to see what's new. If anyone's got anything interesting and new to show. But yeah, I generally I mean, they're like they're guys out there that only buy guns at gun shows because they don't want to see that pesky paperwork. I really don't care about the paperwork. No, Your albums, you're on a list time and so many of us like how many? Yeah.

How many firearms does a mystery literally us have a nail file? One. I have one firearm. And as long as you don't buy more than one of them more than one a month, then you don't really raise any flags. Does that say these years? Are you a nuclear missile? Just one. Just one. That's only one fire, One shot. That's all you get. One shot. That's all it takes. So speaking of firearms, what about that the executive officer of the well, before we get to campus of the Clinton airport?

the one that I'm still trying to decide if that was a Clinton family hit or if that respectively. Well, he got shot by ATF very unexpectedly with a rifle to the head, which is interesting how that works. I mean, clearly, you guy was just facing away from his door when he got shot. That must mean that getting shot in the back of the head with a rifle tends to kill people.

And their official story is what, that they had a search warrant to show up and to check the legality of his firearms dealings. So they showed up at 4 a.m. with a no knock warrant busted through the door without ring the doorbell. That they wouldn't do that anymore. yeah. Yeah. Now, if they want to take somebody out there and then this guy, I mean, we know he's a gun guy, right? Because he's bought guns because they're there, so he hears his door being busted through. What does he do?

He reaches for his gun on the nightstand and goes to investigate carefully what's going on. Then he sees two guys with guns pointed at him and he shoots and then turns around to go like, run away and then gets shot in the head with a rifle and ends up in the hospital and dies. Nothing to see here. It's Arkansas, maybe it's Arkansas. So my again, my question is, was this a Clinton hit and is there a connection or is this purely the new ATF?

It's just like the old ATF with their tactics of shoot first, ask questions later. He was an executive at the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport. So, yeah, mean, that doesn't mean he had any connection to Bill and Hillary Clinton, of course, or doesn't. I don't know, man, does it? He was dealing in guns, allegedly. Yeah. He went to a gun show, which you're doing, too. So let's see. When Jeanne winds up dead, you need a hookup. Yes. I have no interest in suicide. I'll say that publicly right now.

Zero suicide interests. These the concept of the no knock warrant at 4 a.m.. Yeah, I don't understand. Unless you are going after somebody that is suspected of murdering people, that it's usually not even murder. It's the it really kind of came to prominence during the war on drugs. yeah.

This idea that they may have evidence that they will destroy if you don't surprise them because for anything that like if there's no evidence to be gathered when you go there, you're just there to arrest somebody. There's zero reason to do it. And civilly, unless you want to be a dick. Well, they do because. Yeah, they do. Because you look, you can still surround the property and make sure the person doesn't run away at noon. It doesn't have to be at 4 a.m..

So the only reason they they tended to well, they started doing these no knocks at 4 a.m. is because they wanted to ensure that the person was somewhat confused from just being woken up and he immediately wasn't thinking of getting rid of evidence and whatever. Because if you're going for somebody that you think has firearms in their possession, really hard to flush those. Not not what they were thinking. They weren't even thinking about firearms. Right.

The allegation and the reason they're there in the first place is because he was acting allegedly as a dealer of firearms by having gone to a gun show. So he's sold numerous firearms. So, yes, they're allegation is he's buying firearms not for personal use, but for resale without a license. It also seems that some of the guns he sold were used in crimes. So here's a really bad idea. If you sell a gun to not let somebody know that you sold that gun, it's kind of like selling a car.

You would think you'd want somebody to know when that car goes through the front of a bag. Yeah. Like, Hey, I sold this to this guy. Six months is a crazy thing that most people may not know is people will pay a premium to get something undocumented. yeah. But the reality is, this guy was already documented with the gun, so, yeah, I guess it depends what he's getting, because all he could be like, I don't know. I sold it to a guy with a long beard. That's all I know. Exactly.

And there's no requirement for him to document anything and there's no requirement for him as a private individual to do any kind of, you know, background on the person that most people won't sell guns or something to somebody that they don't like the smell of. Like if somebody looks a little shady, it smells a little weird. And he had his because I was there was it wasn't like he was a private collector who decided to sell the gun.

It does appear that he was purchasing guns to turn them around and make money by selling them to people who didn't want it. That's totally not the case. That's totally not what he was doing. That's what their case alleges, which is a bullshit. And that's why I'm not sure yet whether this was a Bill Hillary related issue or not. Like this guy is living in a four or 5000 square foot house. Not bad. He's got nice cars, He's got lots of money in the bank.

His job is as an executive officer of an airport, is bringing in probably 350, 400,000 a year. He doesn't need to go out and sell guns to a drug dealers. No, That said, he sold three guns to an undercover ATF agent at a show and that that could have happened. But again, if you're a gun hobbyist and you have over 100 guns in your house, I mean, who's going two or three God's dream selling two or three guns is not that big a deal or even five guns, Frankly, I've got two guns I've never shot.

And, you know, I don't know, maybe I like them, maybe I won't. And if I if I shoot it and I don't like it, what am I going to do? I'm going to sell it. Goring to the feds. He purchased the firearms legally and checked the box on the purchase forms. Then they indicated the firearms were for him. However, according to Fox News, he allegedly resold the weapons at gun shows where he acted as a vendor. Now, how were you?

I guess that would be the other question that what makes a vendor and what makes people. Yeah, I know. I know exactly what it is. And it is when you go to a gun show and you're there predominantly to buy and you're just walking around, you buy your ticket to go to the gun show if you have a firearm or several that you want to get rid of, then the the show won't let you sell them unless you buy a table. Got it. So you have to pay them.

So, you know, like there's a cost to sell guns have to have a table. But apparently, according to ATF, if you get a table, you're clearly a firearms dealer. You're not just an individual that paid the table to sell the guns because the gun show doesn't let you sell guns unless you get table. Got it. So I've been to a lot of sports gun shows in my bag. Sports card. Yeah. Same kind of deal. Is every person that has a booth at a sports club show a professional trader and dealer of cards?

No, because I've done a couple of those myself where we just did It sounds to me like you're going to get a visit from the the department cards Architectural services of the American. Yeah, government probably because that's basically what the what you're describing is the guy did it is a completely trumped up bullshit thing. And just because somebody bought three guns and here's the other thing. I wouldn't sell somebody three if I have three guns.

So because it's awfully suspicious that one person would want to buy three different guns for me at the same time, it's about what sounds like they may have been three of the same gun, which is even or will find three. Whatever it is, it's it's suspicious. I think it was nine millimeter you got there.

Come on, give me three. Nobody Should be should be selling three guns to another person who they don't know at the same time, when I've sold guns in the past and I've sold a few over my lifetime, because you're allowed to, as an American, sell guns. They've all been two different people. And I've gone through I've always shipped them to and FFL like an actual licensed dealer.

And if somebody want to, well, you know, can I just come and pick it up like, No, you can't, because I want the record, the sale, and I want you to have to go through and do it for them. Now, maybe I didn't get as much money as I could have by doing that because, you know, like I said, people are more willing to pay more for anonymity.

But yeah, there's there's nothing inherently illegal about somebody selling a firearm or several, I think had this gone to trial, the guy would have gotten off because he probably could show through his records or lack thereof that the amount of guns that he has sold is reasonable compared to the amount of guns that he has and hasn't sold. Like for somebody to be a dealer or in my in my opinion, maybe maybe people disagree on this.

But if you want to be called a legitimate dealer, you have to have sold more than you have yourself of that product. Like if you're if you're selling cars, right. That's these cars. The example, then I don't think I would call you a car dealer. If you own five cars today and you've sold three cars in the last year, like you're not a fucking dealer, you're a car collector, you go through cars, you buy ones you like, you fix them up a little bit. Maybe you sell them.

Well, if you're buying three month that you never drive, that you just turn around and resell them, maybe. Yeah. Who says they've never been shot? I didn't. I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't say that. I'm assuming this is a case of he thought he was being robbed or something, because I'm guessing he's the one that opened fire. Is that the story here? Well, that's the obvious thing.

I mean, if somebody if if you get woken up in your own house by the sound of something smashed into your front door like a car or a battering ram, but whatever it is, your front door, it's a loud sound. You probably haven't happened to you in real life, but you've probably seen it in movies. It's going to startle the hell out of you and your first SOB is going to be I'm getting not just robbed, I've got a home invasion here. Somebody wants to kidnap me and my kids, my wife.

That's your first thought is defense or the home. And we have a story now. The wife was in the house and I think he said his his older brother was in the house, too. I haven't heard anything about kids, but he's in his forties. But either way, I mean, it's not like, well, you can kill the guy if he doesn't have kids. What's the big deal?

But if breaks into your house and your first thought isn't that you're you've got a home invasion, you're being robbed and you want to grab your gun, then frankly, you deserve what happens to you. Because by the time somebody has the corners to break into your house, they're clearly have the chance to kill you. yeah. The amount of and that was demonstrated by the ATF. The ATF did both can only assume how far his bedroom was from the breach point.

You can only guess what you know, I'm assuming most people have some kind of an alarm system. So that's maybe going off. You've got. Yeah. You know, again, if you've got kids or a wife in the house, you're most likely you're grabbing a weapon.

They're going to see, here's what's going to happen out of this whole thing is the the government is going to keep calling him an illegal arms dealer and there's going to be a wrongful death lawsuit against the ATF and probably 3 to 4 years from now, because he seems to always take a long time. His family's going to get like a 5 million to $10 million judgment against ATF. And you'll probably never see that anywhere.

No, you will not hear about it unless unless you're actually following, you know, their own posts on social media or something. Because most of these things just it takes too long for people to give a shit. But all these things, you know, from the the get them my memories going back from Waco to orange. Yeah yeah yeah. The something Reg Bridge, the Ruby Ridge. I'm blanking out there. Yeah. All these guys ended up in lawsuits and won the lawsuits. All of them.

Because what the government was doing was illegal. That's the way it works a lot. Yeah. And, and this is why here's the, here's the problem is that you can win in court and lose your life.

Well, this, again, is the current state of our federal government seems to be very against the constitutional that we have there, against literally people in the country that they've they've looked at the people that didn't vote for Biden and then call them everything from traitors to Nazis to, you know, vermin to whatever. They don't see.

The people that didn't vote for Biden as being worthy of being people like they don't see them as human, They're subhuman and they're looking for the ways to take them down. Yeah, and that means they have to replace all the people that didn't vote for Biden. With new people coming from other countries to vote for Biden, then that's literally what they're going to do. Then it's all they claim the other side is doing. That's the beauty of it.

Well, and that's almost like a cliche at this point, the idea that why is it that almost all propaganda is making the other side look guilty of what the side doing, the propaganda is doing, It's like the they can't write a script. They're like, Well, I know exactly what should we say they're doing? this thing that we're doing, that would be great. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much less accused of what we're actually doing. It's exactly right. So I don't know, man. I don't. I don't know what to say.

I mean, it's it's one of those things where there's an argument to be made that if you just want a nice, peaceful life, just don't do anything. Well, right. You know, don't pay attention to anything. Don't do anything. Just be a cog in the wheel and then retire and die, because that's that's what the government is looking for. That's what their ideal citizens serve is really like, is somebody doesn't doesn't stick themselves out from the crowd we have. They don't want you to make any waves.

No, that's for damn sure. Yeah. With all these new IRS agents, I mean, do you know what they're looking for with the. you're starting to getting no knock IRS and people coming into your house? Well, for people that are selling crap on eBay, you're going to get this. Yep. Yep. you're not paying enough. You're not paying your taxes. Yeah. We'll take your house, You can go live in your car and we'll take your house and we can go to a migrant family who just walked into the country 15 minutes ago.

Yeah, Yeah, exactly. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. And this sounds very ridiculous and dystopian, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mexico starts bitching in the next few years, probably next three or four years, about American migrants coming into Mexico and taking all the low paying jobs. They're coming over the border. You've got to build a wall because I think it's going to get progressively more difficult to live in the United States if you're not a minority rule because of these things.

Yeah, because you're the one that's going to be the default target for everything. You know, this guy wasn't some black dude living in the hood that got busted by the ATF and accidentally shot. No, it's this is a rich white executive guy that just got executed by the US government. Well, because they can't go after the people that have more melatonin because that's that woke you up. You're only going after the white guys now. Yeah. The other criminals joke has. Just white guys. White guys.

We need we need to check the box white guy a few extra times so we could be fair. Well, the have you seen the examples of the there've been a bunch of them floating on X of people's papers and you see a photo of somebody who's a really dark skinned black person. And then in the race box, it's checked white and it's seen. That's apparently the orders have gone down that says we need to not show that the majority of crimes are being committed by non-whites.

So you have to put as many whites in for race as you do of any other race here. We need to get the we need to get the percentage is what we want them to be. Yeah, because that's what equity is all about. It's about the perceived percentages and that about reality. Well, that's it. They look at the United States and say, the amount of black people in the United States, 15% or so the generalization, but about 15%. Wow. In prisons, that's like 65. 70%.

Yeah. Yeah. So we're obviously racist because we're only we need way more white people in prisons, right? That's the answer. The real the answer rather than. Well, let's just look at the demographics of the people who are committing the crimes. No, no, no, no, no. That's not good. We need to fix it, because there are arguments that the take they take this as arbitrary as something that just is, is that every breakdown of people commits crimes in exactly the same percentages.

All white people and all black people, they all commit the same amount of crimes, all people that are gender dysphoric and people that are not gender dysphoria, they all commit the same amount of crimes in their groups. They they they have this completely fake magical view that people commit crimes randomly and that randomness is completely evenly spread across all groups rather than looking at, well, types of events drive people to commit crimes.

Are those events more prevalent in one area or another? Are they more prevalent with one group or another? Are people that are medication for psychiatric conditions more likely or less likely to commit crimes they don't want? They want to ignore all that and just say, nope, there's no difference, Right?

Somebody that has to take drugs to keep them from being a complete sociopath and, you know, killing their neighbor if they have to take drugs as antidepressants to keep from doing that, they have no more or chance of doing illegal acts than somebody who doesn't take drugs and is living in a nice picket fence suburb. Like that's asinine. That is ridiculous approach. You're literally being blinded by your desire.

And that's why I think accurately, a lot of people see the Wokeism as a religion and not as a political thing. It's it's blind faith, man. It is a blind faith to something that is not reality. Well, it's no different than any other religion. And I think most people that are on the medications, the happy pills, it is intentionally trying to break you from reality. Not saying some people don't believe it, but yeah, this is numbing you to the reality around you.

And then you wonder why so many of the people that go on mass shootings are tracked back down to. They have been taking one of those medications. Story coming out of Moscow right now. If terror attack. Yeah, and in the theater, 40 people killed, at least 100 injured. Somebody came in, they start firing, throwing grenades, whatever it was. This is rare for Russia. I mean, this is every day Chicago. But if it is rare and I think it's going to become more more common, unfortunately.

So they're arresting these people. They found there's been a number of people that worked at the theater that were sympathizers with Ukraine. So that's what this is all going to come down to. Yep. This is just attack and then kind to give some credence, I think, to Vlad side, doesn't it? Well, I don't know about credence, but it's definitely there's as the Ukrainian side gets more desperate, they're starting to resort to terrorism which is expected.

This is a normal thing though I think everybody was aware is likely to happen and even after the conclusion the war and the piece, the chords are sane and everything, there will probably be terrorist acts in the name of Ukraine, in Russia and other countries happening for many years to come. What we're hearing there now, I mean, will some people actually want the winding down of this Soviet Ukraine, I guess, is realizing if this is coming to a close soon, they're not winning this?

Well, they've realized they've stopped being able to stand their ground when the US stopped authorizing payments for their military. Is the entirety of the Ukrainian military is paid for by the US government? Yeah, that's not a surprise. I mean, we're not technically sending troops, although there's a fairly high of American volunteers that are in Ukraine right now, British and Americans that are getting paid and they're getting paid from the tax of U.S. taxpayers, both British and American.

So essentially we're funding the Ukrainian payments to mercenaries of which our country is sending plenty, but we're not technically boots on the ground in fighting Russia. It's a line between the two. It's a very thin line. I mean, this would be the same kind of thin the silver line as like all but two of the hijackers of 911 were from Saudi. But Saudi Arabia was never at all ever charged with any kind of crimes. No, they had nothing to do with their money from the dope.

So, yeah, I mean, it's bound to wind down because the interest is gone. Everybody is looking at, well, shit, now we're going to have to send boots on the ground to Gaza, Right? Well, this is we're going to need American peacekeepers in Gaza to keep the Israelis from leveling the place. It seems like as long as there's only one thing to worry about, people will stick with it for a long time. But the minute that shiny object of this case, Gaza, Israel, that there.

Okay, Ukraine, screw that that's that's last weeks they were under this. Now it's actually a miracle Ukraine lasted as long as that is it should have cut it out a lot. Well they back they have the power of the mainstream media by them. This was but there's nothing new. They keep repeating the same lines over and over and over. Ukraine's on the brink of winning. Ukraine's on the brink of winning. How many years can Ukraine keep winning and losing its entire population?

Well, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump both have the walls are close again. The end is near. And neither one has had their final chapters. Well, and Putin recently got reelected for his final term. That's fair election. They have going it Russia right? More fair than here. That's probably true. That is probably true. The the support that Putin has right now I mean it's true of most wartime presidents is very strong. He has more support this time around than he did last time around.

There are more people that that have come to see the position that he's expressed multiple times now for the last five, six years, which is NAITO keeps advancing on Russia with the ultimate goal of breaking up Russia. And that's Andrew. And over the last few years, more and more politicians have been willing to voice that on the the West side and say, well, yeah, that's exactly what we want.

Won't break up Russia into little small chunks that have possess zero danger to NATO's and the United States. So they could then run right over those places and be like, hey, we're in charge. Well, they look like people really liked investing and getting shit from Russia super cheap immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They have very fond and fairly memories of how good it was to be able to get stuff for $0.05 on the dollar.

You know, Russia was literally chopping up its military and selling it off as titanium scrap stuff that costs millions of dollars to build was being sold for $10,000. Is that where you got your nuke? Yeah. Good. So there's a lot that is a lot of a lot of people made a lot of money, a lot of Russians made a lot of money and a lot of non Russians made a lot of money during those days. It was it was for the average Russian. It was not a good time. It was a pillaging of Russia.

It was something similar to what Germany was doing during World War Two as they were conquering territory, they were taking all the works of arts, all, all the things that have accumulated. They were stripping gold from church steeples. They were melting Russian Orthodox statues and recycling them to make swastikas. You know, these are all things that actually happened less than 100 years ago.

And so I think right now with what's going on in Ukraine and the way that the Western politicians have been acting, it has rekindled a lot of that sort of nationalism in Russia that really, for the most part, kind of toned down over the last 20 years. So thanks to the United States imposing incredible sanctions, Russia was forced to find alternative means of production and acquisition goods, which they did.

And if you watch any of the numerous videos of Russian grocery stores, I daresay they look better than the local grocery we have here. yeah, the pier, the shelves are half empty and the boxes are the latest number I saw since Biden took office. 20% up. Groceries. I mean, some more than others.

Yeah, but this is it's I routinely for literally my entire life when I did shopping for one just for me so like pre-marriage and post divorce my my store shopping was usually under 100 bucks because I don't you know I don't binding to exotic and you're going out six nights a week. I am but but still that was consistent. Right now I'm probably averaging 180 to $200 every time I do grocery shopping. Yeah. And it's not like. I'm shopping for more than one person. No, everything is going up.

And no, the one thing I will say that may be contrary to a lot of other people's opinions on is shrinkflation, where the size of products is shrinking even though the price is staying. Joey was very worried about that. Yeah, I actually think that's a good thing because honestly, everything is just too goddamn big in the United States. Like if you ever go to Europe or Asia, the size of meals the size of snacks, the size of all these things we consume is quite a bit smaller.

So I'm okay with product shrinking now. It'd be good if the price went down as well. Even if it doesn't. I think that if if like instead of a 14 inch pizza being the normal sized pizza, if that becomes the large pizza and the 12 or ten inch becomes the normal size, I'm okay with that too, because honestly, it's things are too big here. Like look at the percentage of American population that is either clinically obese or on the edge of obesity. And I'm saying that as a fat dude, you're right.

It's crazy. It's like 62%. It's like the vast majority of Americans eat too many calories. Yeah. We don't take enough of them sick fits all thing especially going out I mean when you're at home. But you can adjust how much you're making of something. But it was always a big it's one thing if you're when you go out being a guy that six foot six and not skinny. I'm getting the same sized portion that my wife who's five seven, is getting.

You know, it's like this is it's very strange because it's like it's more than enough for me. So I know it's like five times what somebody that's a lot smaller. If you let her eat that much, that's amazing. It's like, Well, would you go out to dinner? There's something wrong. If you go to a place and you're always taking the whole half of it, like, I can't eat that right. Exactly, Exactly.

So, you know, it's always funny when people make fun of like, French high end restaurants, like, yeah, it was about a foot wide and there was one teaspoon of fruit on there. Yeah, maybe that's not a bad thing. Would you let me give you a small little cracker with some avocado bowl about it? Yes. Yeah. Avocado foam was really good, man. I mean, all foam is good. I've been making avocado stuff every other day here lately. I do love me some avocado. It's great turkey sandwiches.

It's great in an omelet. It's great by itself. Yeah, this is true. I rarely do that. Bacon bits. Whew. Avocado, that's all. Basically, just make a well, mash up the avocado into like a we got the whole thing in case of quesadilla, but it's like it's No, no, it's the guacamole. Measure up into guacamole. But instead of adding like a whole bunch of spices and onions, add bacon bits instead you get a little fat.

There. And I mean, like actual ones you've made by bacon and I'm chopping them up, not the fake bagels. Yes, they're not. There's no bacon. That was, you know, Bacon's is there's zero bacon. It's it's bacon flavored Grape-Nuts cereal. That's all. Well when you put it that way it becomes Sorry That's what they Kazu Yeah. It's great that cereal. That's bacon flavored. I used to love the days when you could go to a good buffet and.

And create a salad, which everybody always like, you know, I'm not the darling, I'm just eating salad. I could create a salad that would be. I could do 3000 calories easily. Like this would be way worse than a burger by the time I'm done with it. Dude, the salad bar. And that's the place I mentioned or got my memories together. Charlie. Yeah. Feel good about the fish. Ever been to the salad bar? Anybody knows what I'm talking about. That's been true.

It is better than damn near every other salad bar of any restaurant in the city. Move it. And it's so funny because you know why you understand why it's so good is because the more you eat of non-meat, the cheaper the meal is for them to make. Right? And so the expensive part is the meat. So it's like, I'll have like seven pieces of mignon, please. Thank you very much. The cheap part is the really, really tasty but cheap to make. Yeah. Would you like a big salad? yes, you would. Yeah.

Or even like the pursuit of ham. They have their and stuff that's fresh, you know, scraped like it seems like it's expensive and fancy, but compared to a steak per pound, that's actually very cheap. So we start with a salad. Yeah, well that's, that's what most people do. And I when I go there, I grab literally one slice of prosciutto, two pieces of lox, but little craps on there because I get to eat that shit because I'm required to by law and otherwise I lose my Jew card.

Yeah, you would. No, I wouldn't want that. And then I just take, like, one of the smallest pieces of thing you can take for the rest. Like the cheeses and everything else. And so my initial plate from the South bar is maybe like five ounces of food. I can try all that stuff. I get a little bit of taste of it, but it's totally a sampler plate. And then I get rid of that and swap over to the meats. That's where the real money is.

I mean, you could make a delicious, but that's again, this is the concept that people still have that eating a salad is healthy. It's like no eating a salad is only healthy until you put toppings addressing on it. yeah. And in between blue cheese and island, you can have you can mix. yeah, yeah. It's good stuff.

So the other day, two days ago, I actually, I used, I made boiled eggs and then I used those and kind of crumple them up and stuff I guess in the way made a salad, but not really, but sort of kind of And then I put a thousand Island dressing into it to clump them all together so they can bits. Yeah. And yeah. It's like excited with bacon and, and it was like holy shit, this is good. Now it's not technically egg salad because I didn't use mayonnaise. Is that the have to have the binder.

Yeah. Well the, my binder like I said was salads now and that's, I think that's kind of like a just an alternate. Yeah. Yeah. But it was very good. It's amazing how tasty eggs are. And I even I do. I'm fairly healthy in that I only use half the yolks. So when I make hard boiled eggs, when after I peel and stuff, what do you do? I usually I throw away half the yolks. that's the good stuff. It is the good stuff, but there's too much good stuff, So I use one yolk for every two egg whites.

When I do that, it's easy to do with hard boiled because they just pop right out. Right? It's harder do that with if you're making like an omelet because you have to do the so little magic balancing act of trying to separate the. Yeah. Using the shell pouch before yeah before it like pops and then gets Yeah, I guess you could use a cheese grater. Yeah. Yeah. So I you know for those I tried to but I don't always succeed.

So the way I probably get like two thirds of the yolks when I make an omelet, but I get half the yolks when I make hard boiled. I do love a good deviled egg. That's the extra yolks right there. Yep. Yep, that's true. Take the out. You whip them up with some delightful Morgan mayo and whatever spices you're putting in. Yeah. Now I want an egg salad sandwich, and my mom would sneak that in is be so good.

Yeah, it's, you know, smells are probably the strongest memories and tastes are not far behind because they're like, all these memories existed since before we even created language, we couldn't really communicate with each other other than grunting. But we already could remember tastes and smells. So they're very powerful. And if you start describing something that you can visualize in your mind and the taste of it just hits you.

And then the cool thing is when that taste hits you, it brings back memories that you haven't thought about for sometimes many years, maybe even decades of events that coincided with those tastes being in your mouth. And, you know, my mom died a few years ago, and even though she didn't die of COVID, she was. Of course, Mark discovered. That's typical.

But remembering when she made deviled eggs both from childhood and to my adulthood, it's they're all very pleasant memories and just kind of, you know, just really made me remember those moments and how much I miss her being around and stuff. Now, could you recreate the deviled eggs there? yeah, I've done that. Yeah. My recipes, I've never gotten. I think she is a lot more male than mine is a lot drier. Mayo is love. I mean, it's also a hearty kind of place. But yeah, I know.

It's like, Mom, come on. What are you trying to tell me? Making it good. It's the butter that makes it taste so good year you know, with her recipe was. And it's something that people like deviled eggs try this variant she she put mushrooms in them. So it's your standard. Don't the recipe but take mushrooms finely chopped them so that each individual piece of mushroom is no more than about, let's say a quarter inch by quarter, inch by inch.

It's a really finely chopped kind of like the size of bacon bits, I guess maybe even melt that right in just a little bit bigger, but not much bigger than the size of a bacon bit. And then take those mushrooms and then fold them in into the yolk mix before putting it back into the into the egg whites and the mushrooms really add a very interesting texture because, you know, normal deviled eggs and eggs is fairly mono textural. yeah. It's like whipping.

It's easy. Take the stuff. It's it's softer, right? Yeah, exactly. But when you have little small little bits of mushrooms in there, if it adds a whole second, the texture to them when you're chewing them in your mouth, that is very nice. And the flavor works quite well because mushrooms can go with anything, you know, they'll take on the flavor of anything else you have next to them. So yeah, that was kind of her standard recipe as to do the deviled eggs with with Munch.

And I remember as a kid being surprised when I tried to do other people's homes, I was like, Well, that's you're doing it wrong. You don't have mushrooms right where the mushrooms are. Like, What the hell? You didn't realize that? that's just the way my mom does it. Not everybody else. I still have thousands of cicadas. We get chopped up and put in there. They're saying that. So I'm looking forward to the eclipse. It'll be fun.

Yeah. I hear you're bringing the gardens with you when you go down to visit Adam Curry. yeah. Yeah, I got to do that. Bring the guns, bring night vision, the thermals, everything she said. That's what she's got. Dream for. Take care of all that stuff. People think you're a healer now. Well, that's mostly because thanks to you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Point the finger squarely at you with all your questions about gun purchases, gun sales. I don't even remember the last time this came out.

It's been a while. Well, John's John Durack, I think, is the cicada expert. I've never really bothered tracking him too much, but they come out. I think there's three types in the US and they come out at different intervals so that they don't all out the same time. I think the last ones around here were like 17 years ago and it's like, I don't even remember. I remember people talking about them, but I don't remember You're hearing like apocalyptic stories.

Like, yeah, you know, your house will be cut everywhere. You're totally covered head to toe with those things. Over the last time they popped out, I was working in Ohio and probably 2008. So what is that like 16 years ago? So they're about do Yeah. 50, right. 2008, 15 years, 16 years. So that's it. You remember they were loud. They're very loud.

They're, they're doing their little mating dance and it's, it's, it's a bass level loudness that is loud enough that it makes it hard to hear people when you're outdoors because you just have this, like pushing sound that's just very loud and prevalent. It would drive people nuts. I didn't mind it so much. To me, it kind of sounded like kind of like waves breaking. If you have your windows open and you're on the boat at night or or you have a house on the shore, it all depends where you are.

Constant, but like nonstop. So it's like with the waves, it's kind of like we should have nothing, another rush and that if you just take the rush part of it and you just constantly play that and repeat and that's what the cicadas sound overly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Overlay and repeat and the people that like it they'll have their windows open and they'll be sleeping well. Well I'll have I don't mind shelters I think. I think they're cool little bugs. That's the sari.

I mean it's interesting they were talking about that, how it is food for everything else. The birds and everything else that will eat bugs. So, like, all of a sudden, this is like a frickin buffet. Yeah. Yeah. There's food everywhere now. Yes. That means the birds will be crapping over your car. exactly. The birds will be crapping that stuff as well. It's they're all animals going into like just overdrive eating. Yeah. Well we'll see. It'll be interesting. Interesting to see.

The actual eclipse is only supposed to last. I think 14 minutes. Well, that's what you want most. Something like that. All of my shows. It's my birthday, April 8th. So you want to remember to. really? They love in Malaysia. Hey, for my birthday or you're driving down for the eclipse at all in it? Yeah, it was. I thought it was coming down to your house, but you're not. okay. Well, my house. I've got another buddy that's sitting at my house

because he's coming down to watch it that I'm going to be seeing Adam. So. So unless I can get Adam to revoke your invite, add not happening. Whatever couch she's there. I have. I have good wine I can break. What are you bringing besides weapons? I mean, I guess that may be enough. I'm bringing the most important thing. Yeah, exactly. The weapons. Just in case. In case everything goes bad and the whole grid goes down, you know?

Well, the grid will go down because we won't have solar power the middle of the day. for 40 minutes, the world will be plunged into darkness because Texas has the largest solar powered array grid in the country in the world. In fact, I think we're that the largest in the world. No. And how much is good is that doing for you? It did seem like it was. it's shit. But I think it like 12% of the power in Texas. Something like that.

Interesting. Interesting almost that I could just feel a congestion coming up. I hope I'm not getting a cold or something now. Why just a show started all of a sudden? I am just congested. It's weird. Really. Yeah. I mean, I know it's hard to tell because these pipes. Yeah, they're silky. Well, you may you may want to turn the temperature up at your house. You may begin it warmer. Yeah, but it's like 40 degrees out. It's nice and cool in here. exactly. I like it cold. I just get some.

I'll have some spicy. So you like it cold. But the problem is certainly the viruses. True. True. What I need. That's the thing. This is why songs were invented in the summer is the best way to kill viruses when you're living in, you know, Siberia to go ahead. You sweat in Finland or Sweden or. Norway. But it's it's not that you sweat it out. It's that you bring your external body temperature. You bring your core up, up. So where you hopefully not too high for the core, but it doesn't matter.

Here's the beauty of it is that the parts that the viruses typically have the easiest time attaching to. Yeah, like the like where they get to first is your sinuses and your lungs. And both your sinuses and your lungs are breathing air that is much warmer than your core temperature through the start about raising the core as much as it is about having superheated air coming into your nose and lungs, getting killed.

The viruses, you know, I remember back when I was younger, we used to chase the Americans out of the sun us because we would rank them to 175 degrees dirty, filthy Americans and no Americans stand to be in 175 degrees. Ah, yeah, not for long. I'd be like that. Yeah. Long enough for them to just get up and leave right then. Hopefully balance out on their way out. Yeah, because, you know, I grew up in China, so it's like standard training.

And when you're, when your sauna is powered coal, it's not like you got a thermostat that you can crank down. If it gets too hot, you can't just turn it off. No, no, it's, it's you have to kind of go by or by eyeball when you're planning on how much you want to heat up the circuit. And then after it happens, it could it could totally happen. That's not a big deal. But it dragging my butt on his head. Ha. That always happens. Exactly. He drink? Yeah. You don't want to drink of the sauna?

No. You never want to drink in the sauna. No. But you need to have certainly not be dehydrated before you go in there. Well yeah, that would be. You want to stay hydrated with it. You bring your back. Yeah. You're going to. You're going to. So the I'd say that's the primary benefit is breathing in superheated air. The secondary benefit is in order for your body core to stay within range, it's going to open up the floodgates of all your sweat glands and you're going to be sweating like crazy.

And that is a secondary benefit that kind of flushes out all your sweat. And that's usually where bacteria enters, is through your sweat glands because it's literally a giant opening in your skin if you're a tiny little critter or bacteria is the easiest way to get in the body is through sweat glands. So that's why you see a lot of bacterial infections happening in sweat glands. And that medical advice, we don't talk about any medical shit on this show.

However, it's amazing the medical stuff, not a make up on unrelenting the foodie information. You can pick up Taylor Swift information. You can now click that off your bingo card. Do you think we're going to get through a whole episode without saying What's the latest with with Ms.. Swift there the just do album married. You know that as far as you know she break up with that sports ballgame though not yet soon though I'm guessing there'll be a big conspiracy.

You think she's still working on her big next album about her big break up with the big sports dog ball game? Yeah, well, she's smart. She'll be like Willie Nelson, which is by the time you hit 91 years old, you have like 500 studio albums that you've released. And I think she's smarter than my Nelson getting paid. Well, this is true. Willie is not doing it for the big bucks anymore. I'm sure he's living comfortably. He's eating. He has a roof over his head.

The guy doesn't even have the money to replace a guitar man. The most famous guitar. I can't. You know, I don't want to say it that way because I want Willie to live until he's 150. But if that guitar if the family after Willie's passing decides to sell that, I can't even guess what kind of things they should. They should be buried with Willie probably. Or put it at the Country Music Hall of Fame and let everybody know I. Don't know.

That seems like I think it's cooler if they bury if they bury it with Willie than if they put it in the Country Music Hall of Fame because it's literally the guitar that that is been synonymous with him and it's made all his music for his entire existence. Yeah, the one that I think he has another album that has come out since, but one of his last new albums was a bluegrass record with that type of a guitar just doesn't work out bluegrass, right?

And it was one of the first that Willie played a different guitar on, but he is so attached to Trigger, they said while he was recording the Bluegrass album, playing other instruments in the room, Trigger was in the room. That's nice. Like, that's how close those two entities are. Yeah, it's all about it. You see it, you know it. Yeah, that's. It's wild. A million bucks. At least. If that guitar were to hit the market or way more than that, I think it'd be to mine.

It could be. It could be more than tablet. I think there would be multiple people that would gladly pay a million bucks for his guitar. Yeah. Especially some of these people that are big country stars get a lot of money. Like Elon Musk would probably buy it for a million without even thinking he lives like that, right? I mean, you and I were hit the store and we're at the checkout and we're like, The bag of chips. Cool. He was like, $10 million, Dammit, Turn your cameras off, man.

I don't need you looking. What I'm buying. We got to find that. We have to get all that demographic information so we could base the advertising that goes right to your holes. Exactly. For the products that you don't even know you've been advertised to or have been advertised dinged. Are we done yet? I can't tell you. What is something. Ding. Yeah, something dinged. And I just noticed the time, so it must have been a time related thing. The details.

What's the difference between a ding at a time related ding? I mean, we had the. No, I mean, we keep talking if you want, but I don't know. I figured you set an alarm or something. Just quit talking to Gene at this time or so I did want somebody else. Probably did, but I did. It could have been somebody like DM'd me and said, Are you guys done yet? Why are you still talking? This is over 2 hours now. Didn't you guys start at 10 a.m.? What the hell? It's already 4:00.

Well, how long is your show today? Well, this is like one of those old Sir Gene speaks interviews. We're doing an old fashioned show, but this is what happens when you get or is there a is there a limit on the no. Ex? How long can you go? 24 hours. We really just keep going and going and going and it may even be 48, but it's at least 24. I remember Ilan talking about that. He's like, we will not stop you. We will let you host, which is interesting.

This is the ultimate this reminds me back to the guy that was started broadcasting his life, the first guy. What was his name? Jim was somebody live. Remember? He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know who you talked about. It was the start of Twitch. In fact, a Justin TV. Yes, that's is kind of like that. We're just leave it on all the time Now follow you through your day. Yeah. Well you know, Justin TV became Twitch.

I did not know that, but I definitely wanted to add a direct historical line there. It it started it as a reality TV show, and then it kind of morphed and pivoted into gaming. And then, I mean, realistically, what's more on Twitch than anything else right now is girls doing things in front of a camera in order to get you to then see them doing other things on Onlyfans Welcome to the Internet. That's what that's really that is also what Instagram is what Tik Tok is.

They're all, yeah, girls in front of a camera trying to get your money away from you somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you? You were points up B.B. King's guitar. Lucille. Another very famous guitar. Yeah. Stuff. Mark Knopfler, The guitar that was played on Money for Nothing. I think it was sold for 750 grand recently. I'm telling you, like a million. You're crazy. It's at least 10 million for for Trigger. Yeah, I would think. I mean, it depends on if Willie outlives all of his fans.

He made sure to. Yeah. It's like, why do you think that Ted Williams stuff, the autograph should be worth a ton of money? That's like, No, he signed the lot It is. Fans are dying off. that's a good point to of supply and demand where it's crazy that a Taylor Swift autograph will sell for more than a Ted Williams autograph but supply and demand yeah because Taylor Swift what does not graphing that's rare I mean she did a few as you know but especially during COVID that was like I could sit home

and just sign a bunch of stuff and then sell it. There. Got all these signs since since it's a one that you, I had to believe was actually her, though allegedly. It is. I mean, it's enough to have the people who authenticate these things say it's her. That's all that really matters, whether it is or not. What I've always told my clients is that manual labor, like autographing Christmas cards, is something that should always be delegated to your personal assistant.

Yes. Well, that's what Sinatra did. All those guys that Secretary signed, although now they have the technology. Maybe they can lift it up. Replicate it? Yeah. Bob Dylan fucked it up with his with his book that was allegedly personally autographed. And once everybody started getting their books. So that was luckily for him, it was limited to a thousand, I think, that's not that bad. But once people got their books, they started, you know, photographing and posting the signatures.

There were a grand total of seven different signatures. Yeah, Yeah. So it was all auto pad.

But the technology now, especially with the magic of I, I know there's a get there's no, you don't even need a, there's a video of a YouTube where I watched that like makes interesting things he's like an engineer type and he wanted to make you could have a signature right Yeah yeah 67 yards exactly if signature replicator for sending thank you cards for his patron or whatever that could pass a signature expert from the FBI. Right. The forensic test. I saw that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he's an interesting guy because he's, you know, he's kind of nerdy glasses, skinny, but you go with some crazy. His wife is awesome. I love his wife. His wife is like, it doesn't matter that the guy just did something for the first time in history and he spent six months doing it. Like his wife's going to come and point out the problem sitting here. Yeah. You sweep out the garage, please. But I mean, why this?

Yeah, well, the fact that they haven't gotten divorced, I think is is proof that God exists, because it's. It's really amazing that I love their relationship. Well, frankly, it reminded me my relationship back when I was still married is, because there's it was very much a you know, who can outsmart the other into being a better smart ass kind of relationship. Yes. That is a valid relationship type. Yeah, totally. But that's all you need is something that gives time and have small variations.

Don't do the Bob Dylan thing. No, Make sure you show it. You know, feed it ten real signature. Is it that? Let it make small variations based upon that. And if you could do that, then nobody will ever know.

I've railed about this before because I can't believe there are still companies in business like PSA Beckett, that do a lot of grass off that occasion who don't back it up at, which means if you find out it's not real, they're not going to back it up, but they have no freaking clue if it's real or not. They're guessing along with everybody else. Yeah, it's it that's very true. And whenever I want to graph my birds, I I've always made it a point to never just sign one.

I always write a message in there. Well, that's just nicer, but it made me nicer. Yeah, but it makes literally every autograph book unique and individual. So there is no category of gene. I graph books. You could just go through it, but little codes on each one. You can put enough of them together that we know the nuclear codes, something like that. Well, it's the same that people will in for more popular people like Michael Jordan and Taylor Swift. A signature authenticated costs more.

It's like really 50 bucks to get the signature authenticated. 50 bucks is like, what do you think the signatures are going for? Yeah, and that's I think it's stupid. I think all of it is stupid. I never understood the idea of paying more for something that's ruined by having writing out. Well, why you get grief? I'm buying a book. I want a book without any autograph. That. Well, what's The machine is out there that I could replicate anybody signature whatsoever.

It makes every signature worth zero, which is what they should be worth. Yeah, I agree. Because you can't guarantee that it's real. Yeah. And that's why I think trying to do mass produced items that have that are autographed is totally worthless and pointless. If you're going to do something that is creating a one on one that is unique, that has value. But if you're creating 10,000 and all them are autographed, like the value should be zero. Yes.

Yeah. There was like Frank Turner, another singer songwriter for one of his releases. He used some kind of weird stencils, but he created 100 of the album jackets as individual pieces of art, Hey, yeah, that's a little more interesting. like you could do that so easily with Art now, where every podcast has a unique jacket, if you will. He had one more cover art show, but all based on the exact same, you know, two fab guys and doing a podcast.

How many different iterations until they hit the same one twice? They'll never hit the same one twice at the magic of it. Yeah. It's got a randomizer, CSB is a randomizer, I think. No, CSB. It's the opposite of randomizer, man. He's the standard riser. He is the deliverer. He gives you the same answers. Matter. What did you pull out his website. And he sent you to me? Yeah, you did me that. LOL. He was talking about something else. Yeah, but if you stood up there.

Well, if you follow up on that, he will answer your question. CSB, he will answer your questions allegedly. Or he'll actually just feed your questions into a eyes or an eye and then have you press the answer.

So if you want to know what Brock would say to your question, as does the SB rock, sex rock is the one of the dumbest, which is why it's given free with your paid while you have to go higher the subject of X well and I canceled my jeep to go chair thing subscription because I was nervous that yeah you have to be able to you still want to sing for that one answer. Yeah yeah I still have it. Well, CSB paid for six months of that, so. well, then you're set for six months.

Yeah, I am. Good. And if you ask GPP, when is this show over here?
