115: Pew-Pew

You don't even squeeze it when you squeeze it. Yeah. Do you? Hello, and welcome to episode number 115 of unrelenting. May 10th, 2024. Time is fly. And I am Darren O'Neill. He's dean of the Live and. Yeah, we got the pupils on today, which means if anybody live boosts us. Allegedly. Yeah. A sound will be brought right into the interface and we will hear it go up, you know, every time. Oh, every time people give us money, there will be a sound.

So I would not expect to hear this sound at all today. Well, I expect to hear it once just for somebody testing it out. And Missouri, in the mount the pews kickoff fund or is it like one set now? Anything but here's the beauty. They just updated this software helipad. I think it's Eric B. I don't know if anybody else is doing it with them, he added. Yeah, I thought you said pew pew pew pew. Well, that's what it says.

But, there are now settings that you can put in and there's a whole bunch of them, but you can put in any number you want and set a custom sound for it. So if there is a, you know, Russian apologist donation that it could play a little bit of that, you know, Russian sound that the song that everybody seems to like and that's always good, you know. So this is, this is absolutely gamification. So it's just taking the same stuff that's been did you hear that's been done on and streamers forever.

Did you hear the pew? I know that wasn't very loud. I did, I heard it, so that was net Ned with 100 sats and says Pew, pew. I thought you were testing. No, that's huge boost. He's testing. I'm like, yeah, that's real money. Holy shit. It's a hundred. All SATs. But you can add any number you want. You can do all sorts of, fun stuff. Yeah. Just want to make sure I don't hit any other sound in this browser. You gotta dedicate a browser to it. Otherwise, things get all confusing.

but in the settings now they've got numerology, which is everything from a, you know, satchel of Richard, so that they have the looks like the, you know, penises. And that's anything with, you know, 11 or what, 11 or. Yeah, you're right, I, I get it. I guess people listening may not, but like, what you're describing is literally what every frickin streamer on Twitch does. Yeah, there's huge donate, you know, different ones, bigger donations come up with anything. But now on any of these.

So if you choose that there's a special donation that you know a certain amount that once you hit that, that, you can play that sound. So it's like, hey, you could be an instant whatever ad, you know, if you send in 100,000 SATs now, by the way, this, you set up, I mean, unfortunately, I only have a million satoshis as far as inbound capability right now. So if you want to send more than a million, we're going to have a problem. But, I mean, let me know, because I'll get that.

We'll get that, channel opened up, as quickly as possible. But yes, this is gamification. I like the idea. So if you have, since you can do the text along with it, you know, if somebody's got a question for Gene, you can make it like, okay, if you send in the one he touches, it's about 600 bucks right now, I think. Right. Which isn't really what lightning was meant to handle. That one given point, you know, I mean, there's there's only so much capability that it can handle.

And you have to stake all of this, which is, you know, I'm just glad I've selected enough satoshis over the years. Yeah, that I had that sitting in Bitcoin so I didn't have to go buy bitcoin. But this is still the biggest downside for anybody that is not yet into that ecosystem. If you want to set up your own lightning node and get it functioning, yeah, you kind of have to buy a couple of thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin and people be like, oh, you don't have to do that much.

But to make it somewhat bulletproof, you know, you got to have a decent amount of money in there. Oh, we got pew to get you here. The pew as a pew. Loud in the pew. Oh, no. Comic strip blogger 3333 and says, oh, what? Cordova. Abstract. Cordova I think that's getting closer. Yeah. He wants us all to take Polish lessons. Yeah. There you go. I don't know why. It's a beautiful thing there.

There's a, a guy that was following me on X, and I noticed his, name was Vic, and, I remembered that that means wolf in Polish because of your, connection with CSB. no, actually, somebody else was just telling you random Polish words. Oh, it's, it was the name of a dog of a, YouTuber chick. Okay, that makes more sense. And, and so I asked him, is that more your name? And he's like, yeah. so I thought it was funny.

So I guess, you know, the, it wasn't just some random name from a video game or something that he came up with. It was actually Wolf Polish. Your knowledge of the Polish language is amazing. It's one word bigger than yours. but this is the interesting thing with all of this stuff. I'm glad I finally got it working. It. It turned out it was one stupid setting. and every guy is.

It came down that it should have been something that was enabled by default, but wasn't, which was to, to take in the funds without an invoice, because that's how lightning, I guess, was originally set up. Where? Yes, I remember that there was a point where nothing could go through without an invoice and you had to create, I think it was known as an, like an open invoice or a unformatted invoice or something. So once you generate that, that fake invoice that'll accept anything. Yeah.

Like any, anything you want to send my way, it's coming in. Woo. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. That was there's that's the thing. It's like this this whole lightning thing I think was created as a proof of concept. And then it started getting utilized thanks to Adam Curry during the proof of concept phase. Right. And it just kept getting built on to and built into, like the bit that was clearly missing and something that usually happens way before a product is brought into, actual usage.

is you beyond just developers, people that are coding the thing to work. You, you have to have somebody that is a, a product designer essentially not saying how it's going to work, but say put it together, not say, but, you know, like go through the flow and come up with the, the, the logical working of this thing. Right.

And you'll notice that an every one of these programs slash apps, whatever you like to call them, depending how old you are, on the umbrella and I'm sure everywhere else this is not finished software. This dude, that's your money, not put real money in here. Yes, right. Your money could disappear at any given.

And a good clue generally is if you go and you find a link to some software that's going to do something that sounds like it'll solve your problem, and that link points you a GitHub, it's a good clue that what you're getting is one dude solution to something for himself.

And lately there's a lot more of the malicious stuff being thrown up on GitHub because people know it was pretty trusted for a long time now, maybe less so I don't know if there's something that changed there as far as if anybody is ever looking. I mean, I know it's all just open source of nobody else is going in to take a look at it. Yeah. Then you may not know. but we also had a, like a boost from Speedy Bubble that was on the eighth of one, two, three, 4 or 5. So thank you on that one.

I think that was the only boost we had between shows. There right now that might set off one, two, three, 4 or 5, might set off a little bit of a different two. And I mean, of course, podcast, let's not get too crazy here. I mean, it's getting, you start giving people incentives to do wacky sounds, that's all. The show's going to be as wacky sounds. Now, if that is 100,000 satoshis and above, how do you feel about. Sure. I mean, that's one way to deal with it.

You can either just not do it, or you can set the amounts to be crazy high and no one ever doesn't. Exactly. And I think you can, set it to, you know, not make any noise if it's under a certain amount. All of this stuff. Now, the one thing that is the ultimate in, controlling gene, especially for this show, is the rock and roll pre-show is also lit, which means if anybody boosts the rock and roll pre-show right now, it'll still make the pupu on this.

But you won't get any money now, so you couldn't figure out how to separate them. There's no way to do it yet. And hella bad. There's no way to say only do this show at this point, which there's something they're going to work with. How's that? How is that not a thing? Don't you have to connect it to or do use the exact same account? Well, it's only one note address, so it's all coming into my node. So. So you put all the shows on one node.

Well that's it. The node that there's another node for show. You know that's what I was like what the hell. How do we get different wallet address I was like you don't different nodes for a show. That would be a pain in the ass. But it shows you. I mean, there's the funny thing. It shows you in the helipad every boost. The first thing it says is unrelenting. For the rock and roll pre-show, it says rock and roll pre-show. So you can separate those so you can do, like, a filter thing later.

Okay. Yeah. So they'll be getting to that point. That's something that will be there's not many people. I'm sure the rock and roll pre-show minimum amounts are probably start at 100,000 sats and go up from there. They should, but I haven't set up any of the numbers yet. this is moving forward. We certainly will. And of course we've got the button right here, so I can just mute it and you never hear it, or you just close the browser window if it becomes annoying during the show.

But it is a nice way to do a completely interactive show because you hear the noise that way. You know, something came in, I know something came in and it's like, oh, what do we got? Yeah, there's a, there's an Australian comedy group that does videos based around, either video games or, or people playing video games. They also have one for, like, electronics or a tech store employees. I think people listening to this, some of you guys will know what I'm talking about.

I can't remember what they're called. Otherwise I would just say name, but one of their skits that they have, which was pretty damn funny, is probably from a year or two ago now, but it was a, a video of a streamer playing a Dungeons and Dragons type video game. And essentially what in that, video, in that, skit the guy is doing is he's, you know, casting spells, and shooting, I don't know, bows and arrows, some medieval stuff.

There's literally every five seconds in the middle of, like, warfare. Right? Like, cause this was big during the. Hey, thanks for that. 27 bits coming from John. Thank you. John. appreciate that donation. And it keeps going and then like five seconds later, another thing like that. And it's just it's funny because it's true because a lot of these guys you watch the, the there's sounds going off, there's, you know, some kind of animations on the screen. Yeah. For different donation amounts.

And it's just like, it's somewhere halfway between watching somebody playing video game and a slot machine. Right. Except where the. We're in the slot machine. Right? Right. Oh, that's the point. It said you're you're a weird kind of interactive slot machine like thing that people are blinking money into. And, hearing different buzzers and noises and videos and things going off and the person thanking them for donations. Right. Ryan Rose is jealous.

He couldn't figure out how to get his node running, so he doesn't like the noises. Well, nobody likes those two. Pew pew pew pew pew pew. Like, oh my God, that many donations all just came in. Wouldn't that be great? Since constantly, just to read it. Rain. Let it rain. So the show is supported, believe it or not. And, that way we learn about the technology.

Yeah. And I find it to be intriguing, but, I like the idea of being able to set just the, you know, a fairly high minimum in and having them have some kind of theme.

So, you know, we can open that up like anybody that wants to create a donation, you know, it has to be over a, you know, 50 or 100,000 that set that and be like, you know, if you're the first one to donate that amount, you can name it and give us a, you know, little sound clip that's under three seconds long that'll play subject to us like you, right? Subject to us not thinking it was, you know, horrible. Yeah. Somebody will make a donation. Darren sucks.

Exactly. Well, that wouldn't be the first time. Another. So this one says, from CSB Horovod, number two from podcast index.org. He's trying it all. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's just you know he is a good tester. He's like got to try that everyone. But see the 3.33 doesn't tell me how much. how much liquidity I have. Your CSB can you add like three threes to that and then, we'll see how that works. Yeah. Now you're going to get one for three. Three. That's there you go. There's three three.

You ask for like, the beautiful thing. hey, I was just glad to get it working. Yeah. Congrats. You know, we're making progress in any of this tech shit that's got almost no documentation. That's always a good thing. Well, that's it. So I was, again, very happy that Eric Peepee was looking at what I was posting. He's just like Eric Pew, pew. did you try this? And like, no, no, I did not because I'm used to. Again, you're right.

It's the lack of documentation because I have dealt with software as you have and most people listening to this show for years, that was a little bit, smaller and obscure, but almost even the craziest small little thing that you might be dealing with if you did the right internet search, you were able to find at least some suggestions. This I don't think the data did check this setting came up with anything for the error that it was throwing out. So it's a one step at a time thing.

And then you learn and then it's like well welcome. You know. And I'm the asshole too because I went through this for a few weeks. It was like why didn't anybody do any documentation. But you know once I figured it all out I didn't exactly throw up

any documentation either. So. I guess maybe that's the thing to do, put together a little how to like go buy your Raspberry Pi, download umbral install this, this this and this and make sure this this and this and then it should just work whether it will or not. You know you don't have to buy a Raspberry Pi though. Do you know anything that'll, you know that can run the the well the umbra works on the Pi just right out of the box that works on their own hardware.

And I think they were close to releasing something that would be a one click install for like a buncha and, some of that because it's all Linux based. Yeah. So, Membro says the PUE sounds from helipad are one thing, but you can you please note the mute, the other channels? There you go. Yeah. That's what you call a podcaster in a troll room. Troll room data. Yeah. I can't believe it doesn't want anybody making that troll room software that that lets you run on Linux and interact with, donations.

The well there's the boost bot. So there are things and that's also part a helipad. And I have no idea what even to do with this as of yet. But there is another tab in helipad right after numerology now that says webhooks. So you can send http post to any URL. When a donation is received. So obviously you can send this information then on to a website to do something. I don't know what why then you can see the streaming satoshis that come in.

If anybody is streaming live going minute per minute, you can see that and then you can see if you are sending anything out, what that may be. Yeah. And then you can show, you know, different things like high boost below a certain amount here, like now 33 anchor to do it so you can hide the boost below a certain thing. and this is where I'm assuming on the a boost page here with the settings.

This is where at some point it'll be, hey, only show for this show and you can use it, I'm sure for different things shows. But you would have an identifier for, you know, once you get one boost, a gram, one boost for each show, this thing should be able to tell you, well, just only show for this type. an interesting a little bit of software.

Yeah. It's because it's live and we with this is one of the big reasons why you thought YouTube was so popular is because people got that instant satisfaction of, you know, yes, you're right. The twitch you're sending in the YouTubes, I mean, they they do have some live streaming, but Twitch is the one that really kind of pushed the whole live streaming thing instead of just making videos and posting them, popping some, pills and, popping pills. Yeah. Little flicking light a little. metoprolol.

Metropol. All right. What's done with whatever? Yeah. The big horse fills the, and, well. And some a Coke. You ten gotta have the coke. You ten? Yeah, yeah. I think the reorder ads just went to the doctor the other day. Got the blood test results back. It's like, the cholesterol is high again. I'm like, fuck me. You know, that's not a bad thing, dude.

we don't give medical advice, by the way. But, if you start watching video on the topic of cholesterol, you will start seeing that the medical community is split about 6040. The, this concept that somehow we have to lower cholesterol to prevent calcification, right, is about a 50 year old concept. And the more the cholesterol itself is what's getting you into the heart. It's it's. Yeah, exactly. It is the calcification of the cholesterol that is the problem.

And, controlling your calcium is not something that most people tell you. And if anything, women might get suggestions that make sure you start supplementing as you get older, because otherwise your bones are going to break. But realistically speaking, if you're taking calcium and you're not taking magnesium and phosphorus at the same time, then that that calcium is not going to be absorbed and utilized quickly.

And if it's just floating around in your bloodstream, if you get high calcium in there, then then that does provide, much higher chance of, calcification. And that's where the cholesterol comes in. So again, that medical advice to your own research people. But the info is out there. Yes. You know, and as you said, things are up fairly all another 333 from CSB, has Gene canceled his premium subscription because Elon is giving away free blue checkmark question.

Yes. Yes. It's asked Gene here today on the, the unrelenting show that he's taking. And like, I know I need to lose some weight. So I'm like, you know what going to do the opposite of the, I guess, carnivore diet, which is cut out the red meat for a while because that's really all I do. I can't do that. I know I'm going to try going back to turkey and chicken for a little while. Yeah. Just to kind of. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. I was gonna I thought you were going to cut out meat.

No, no, that would be horrible. Insane. Just the red meat. Because it's like, I really I don't like chicken and fish all that much. So it turns out, and I look back, it's like, okay, so you're having a burger one night and then you're having steak the next night, then you're having some more steak and it all just kind of adds up. it's a bad thing. Pew pew pew from anonymous 12345 okay. We're going to actually mention stuff.

Are we just going to have the sounds interrupting us. 12345 anonymous okay, so the pew pew pew pew. Yeah. How about let's do a segment where you group all the here's who said what. I mean, it's bad enough the sounds are making noise during the middle of Tennessee. Pew pew. That's what people like. Which is why we'll have the highest rate of stuff. ID number four. Thank you. Korva I don't even know. Thank you CSP, you can stop now. Thank you.

But that was 3333. So that means I mean, if he gets up to 33, three, three, three then we'll be in good shape. We will be shape. Yeah. Yeah I, you know I really will probably over the course of the last several years, maybe four years, I've really kind of moved to word chicken. That's probably the most predominant source of protein that I get, just because I've been eating a lot of really tasty like chicken kabobs. Oh, I love kebabs.

And I think the trick to chicken, and maybe by extension, turkey. But for sure, chicken is marinated. Chicken tastes awesome. Yeah, but generally people don't want to spend the time to marinate it, which the simplest marinade is, is going to be, to put chicken into a Ziploc bag with, I mean, whatever appropriate spices, but with something acidic. could be wine, could be vinegar, could be, tomatoes, could be pineapple.

Any number of acidic things, swish it around and leave it in your fridge for 24 hours. Like that is a very quick, simple way to do it. But marinating it, really brings out a lot more, not just a flavor, but it it changes the texture of the chicken to where it's not rubbery, but it's more, more like steak in terms of texture. Yeah, that's what I noticed. We had the, kabobs from the Arab place here, and. Oh, the kabobs from the Arab place. Good. Yeah. The, It's awesome.

And from the shwarma place. guy's Arab. He knows how to cook, I'll tell you that. Yeah. It's good as the, you know, a good Greek chicken kabobs are pretty good as well. but it does. That makes a huge difference. Being able to prepare beforehand, knowing what you're doing well and knowing how to cook it. Because if you don't cook chicken, right, to, you can blow air. Fryer does a great job, man I know it's quick. It's easy. Yeah you missed your opportunity. They don't make my model anymore.

they're like there was too much heat. We were exploding. People were dying. I don't know what it is, but they it is no longer for sale. And they're going on eBay for about 400, 500 bucks. That's crazy. That's like Taylor Swift gear. Well, jeans are going to be sell this, man. I'm going to I mean like them. No. Hell no. It's I'm going to keep it. This is this is great. I would now that they'll make it I wish I bought two right. You have to have one in reserve which I do.

I've got one, but not like yours. I have one like we have in reserve. Because you have to pull out one of I. I really like this because it's all metal and it's, you know, splits in half. So you lift the whole top ups off. Now, have you ever tried any of these keto breads? Because they have gotten a lot better. it's been a long time since I've eaten one other than by accident. Because it was. And you know the difference with the. Oh, yeah. Especially the older stuff.

That was a, you know, a year or two ago, these things are moving forward quickly. And there's one from Louis, I think the bakery is and one, you know, you could buy at the grocery store where you toast that up and have it with, you know, whether you're having it in the morning with your eggs or making a grilled chicken breast, you throw it in there. I don't know that you need, you know, bread. You could just have regular bread. Oh, the bread's the most horrible thing you can eat.

Really? Well, it depends on the bread. whole grain obviously is going to be much better for you. Oh, yeah. You don't want what the other thing is like. There's, another set of videos you can do. Search and watch is, apparently freezing bread. Yeah. Changes the structure of it on a molecular level and reduces the amount of, fast acting carbohydrates. Really freezing. It changes how your body absorbs. It's really bizarre.

I don't I don't understand the chemistry behind it, but they've done tests, and apparently, eating a slice of bread will raise your blood sugar X amount. And then eating a slice of bread that was previously frozen does much less. That's bizarre. So I don't think that the calories disappear when you freeze to read, but, maybe like the, the, the sugars clump up into bigger nodules or something, but whatever happens, it slows down the absorption rate of the carbohydrates. When you freeze bread.

So which is really one of the main reasons that generally people don't want to be eating bread is that it spikes your, insulin levels. And it does. Different types are different. Yeah. Different type. Like the worst is obviously fake. white bread, like Wonder bread. Oh, yeah. That will. Yeah. That is, barely food, barely food. Nothing that says refrigerating tomatoes has the same effect. So that's maybe there's just something in the sugar. So. Yeah. And maybe, maybe it is just a generic thing.

Well, in which case then ice cream baby. You're right. This should be the healthiest thing you can put in your mouth. Yeah. I mean, imagine ice cream if it wasn't frozen would be so much worse. The, the oddity with bread. You put it in the refrigerator. it gets stale, but you can freeze it, and that's fine. Yeah, you can keep bread frozen for a long time and then use it. although I, I put bread in the fridge. I buy this German bread, from Germany. Thanks for pointing that. What?

I work with German bread. You know, the stuff from Ukraine, right? Exactly. It's, Well, well, cause I thought, well, maybe there's a style of bread called German bread, but what I mean is, actual bread baked in Germany and then shipped over here until you. Now you have a German bread guy. I've got a New York, bagel guy, that Joe German, Fred de, do I Klaus, I need a loaf. Exactly. Oh, that boss. And and it's generally rye bread because I, I, I like rye bread.

Well, you make a good, sandwich with that. You get some corned beef, you get some, get some Swiss cheese, you get. Well, this is this is much thinner slices of bread. These slices are about half a centimeter, so it's like a wrap. No, no, it's not thin. It's just it's about, between half and a third of the slice thickness of pre-sliced wonder bread. I see, but it's a high density bread. Oh, you got to have that squishy.

It's like, you know, it's it's the it's you don't even squeeze it when you squeeze it, baby. Wait. What I like to do is stick in the fridge. Opened up like the packages open. Let it start drying out. And, then you get something that is get the flavor of bread. But the consistency of, what would it be? More like of dry bread? That does not sound appetizing. Hey, I trying to think of it like there's a there's a point before something is dry to where you could hit it.

It makes clanking noise, to where you can, like, it's not going to bend if you pick up the slice of bread. It's a good firm slice. Firm slice, I guess, would be the way to put it. Jean is looking for a firm slice. Yeah, but as long as it's not. Generally this bread is sold in in a lot of stores in the international foods aisle of the store. If you have one of those. Oh, of course, it's always interesting to see what the Germans actually use.

Well, it's always interesting to see that the ethnic food aisles are usually goes like this. If they've got like four aisles of ethnic food. Three and a half or Mexican. There's quite a bit of Mexican. Yeah. In here in Texas that's called regular store. This is called food right. Yeah. There's just Mexican stuff everywhere. but yeah, it's usually you know, you'll get a bunch of different Asian countries foods. Right. Or you can pick up a can of spotted dick.

You could get some spotted dick that's usually that's in that kind of English slash European section. And, yeah, it's again, I don't remember the name the bread is, but it comes in the little brick. It's brick bread. It's brick shaped. Well, that makes it more convenient. You if you're going to throw it through a window I suppose. Yeah. Why don't you stick it in your fridge and completely dry it out. You probably could a number five from CSB. Fun fact bagel was invented in Poland. Bagels.

That makes total sense in 17th century Poland as a response to anti-Semitic laws preventing Polish Jews from baking bread, the Jewish bakers circumvented the restrictions by boiling the dough before baking it. See? Yeah, that totally makes sense. Thank you. CSB 3333. This is why the show just got better. Yeah. Instantaneous feedback. I mean, you could do that in the trial room. Well, he could have always sent you a thing with a note in that.

So the only difference is now you have a person you pick on the weekly. Now we should have a CSB sound. Now that was that's another thing Eric BP, if you're listening, based upon the name sending, you should have the ability to, do you have a special sound just for CSB? That would be fun to do. The other thing I had at the doctor was, I had noticed that, like, the tops of my feet or swelling a little bit now and then. Yeah, a little edema. Yeah. Little lymphedema.

you see, everybody talks about the, you know, the blood flow and all this and this. He's like, nobody talks about the lymph fluids. You know, he's like, this is what you gotta look it up. Buy some compression socks. Like okay I didn't give you anything for it. No I mean it was a little minor. It's very minor. And that's why I bought three pairs of the compression socks on Amazon. Had them the next day, some Doctor Scholl's ones.

And I was always well not always but every time I need to buy something involving my feet, I'm like, it's going to be a pain in the ass. He's like, does you know, you could get the prescription written. He's like, your cardiologist could do that. But the custom ones are really expensive. And I'm like, well size 15ft. I'm like, you never know if you're going to find something just right on the compression socks. Yeah. On the open market for anything.

I mean shoes can be iffy but these doctor show ones, they sit perfectly. They come right up to the knee. They are not too tight Jesus Christ where to get knickers. Yeah. Pretty much. That's what I. It looks like it's a really good look. Do you need to compress that high up now? I think that is part of the thing going up the leg. okay, I don't know. they have, they have ones with no toes, like, there's, you know, a hole in the front, so you your toes can stick out.

The bread you're talking about is called Ezekiel bread. According to that. No, that's not doing. No, no, not that one. That that find a new one. Finding new bread. Yeah. Jello Jean wouldn't tell you. You were right. Even if you get to it you can go through like 14 different breads. No, I tell you, if you're right, you're not a seeker. And then after, like, your bread is, that company, I think. I think I make everything now, but when they started off, they're big thing was making sprouted bread.

But knowing you would be like, oh, no, it's not a sick bread. Then you go through like 15 other breads, then you're like, maybe it was a seal. No, it's not a seal. I see Ezekiel at the store all the time. Benny, he's a good guy. That Ezekiel, you're like, what up? So we got compression socks on right now. It's like, I normally never wear socks, so it's a little weird. Yeah, because I'm at home. So why would you wear socks? Right? I don't fucking wear socks. But now you know.

Hey, I guess that's the easiest answer. Along with, Yeah, be more active. Which is why it's like, yes, Sue. Less podcasting. Here's the thing. you're absolutely right about the, lymph fluid. You know, lymph fluid is basically, the water out of blood.

it then it's it's technically it's lymph fluid, not plasma, but, you know, how you you remember back when they explained to you in school about how the, the entire circulatory system works, and it ends with blood flowing through capillaries, which have really forced walls, and they bring all the nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body. They bring all the good stuff. Yeah, well, those porous walls are pretty fucking porous.

And, they're, they're bigger than the size, of the hemoglobin cells that are flowing through your blood and oxygen being delivered. But, water molecules sure as shit soak through. And so you, you have a, constant leakage, if you will, a fluid coming out of your blood into the intracellular spaces.

And that fluid is predominantly, what ends up going back up through, and getting reconstituted, as it's pushed by in a lot of ways by the movement of your muscles, which is why, you know, not sitting in one place is good. through the lumped system and the lymph, system effectively just pumping, lymph up the body and into your, I forget the name of the specific, venous, vein that it pumps into, but it's around your, your collarbone. It's, I think it's a little bit above your your heart.

So, so it's got to do a lot of pumping. It's. Yeah. So essentially, if you think about it, an easy way to think about it is you've got a, you've got blood pumping in a circular system where it's just the heart is recycling, the blood going through a loop, but there's leakage of fluids, out of your capillaries all throughout your body, which are then, squeezed into the lymph nodes or the, well, the the lymph. I don't know what they're called.

Actually, I they're not lymph veins, but essentially it's their lymph. Yeah. They got the fluids got to go through. Yeah. I mean I just think of them I can't, I can't remember what the hell they're called, but the lymph fluid is pushed back through these veins for lack of a better term. They're not actually veins but it get it gets pushed up and then into the nodes. The nodes is where the, that where the majority of the, the testing of the lymph fluid happens.

So essentially that's where you have a lot of the, cells that are part of your immune system sitting and constantly checking for any kind of foreign material being pushed back up to your lymph system, and then eventually it's all dumped into your veins, which then gets, you know, at that point it's all in your blood. It's getting pushed into your blood. so but since we have the heart pumping the fluid through the, the circulatory system, you don't have a second heart for for this.

Yeah. We're not tied, Lords. What? We are not Time Lords. Yeah, right. I sometimes you wish you had a second heart. Oh, yes. If good. Back of reference. Right. It's like a reference. It's like a, it's like some pumps. It's always good to have a backup just in case you. Good to have a backup. Exactly, exactly. But the way that it that your body actually does it with the lymph fluid is it's, it's really around the contractions of your muscles.

So this is part of the reason why a typical symptom of sitting on your ass in front of a computer all day long and not moving around a whole lot, is you start getting swelling in your feet. The swelling in your feet is just that, a build up of the lymph fluid that's not getting pushed up because you're not moving your feet around. Yeah. You notice once you go out and start doing an hour on the bike, it's like, oh, that's going down a little. Yeah. And drink.

Now, if you're not a regular coffee drinker, drinking a coffee in the morning will, increase that, compression and help to move the fluid up. But if you drink coffee, like a lot of people where you're sucking down a cup every couple of hours or every hour, then you're totally used to the caffeine caffeine's not gonna make any difference. Yeah, you got to keep that caffeine level right where it needs to be. Yeah, I and I, I think and this is not even going by studies.

This this is purely anecdotal, but what I've found for myself is, is if I have one shot of espresso in the course of 24 hours, there is some noticeable effect from it and no headaches. if I have any more than one shot of espresso per day, then the effectiveness of that caffeine goes away. Like the body's just getting used to caffeine. It makes sense. So, it's ironically, this is one of those examples where homeopathy actually seems to make sense.

And, the whole concept of, homeopathic medicine was doing the opposite of what most medicine did in specifically in that it was to prescribe smaller and smaller amounts of ingredients until they started working as general rule of thumb as well. If this didn't work, let's double the amount and hope that works, right?

Because people don't understand that it might be more of a ratio thing in your body making it work, where if you find something like, oh, I need vitamin C, there's a lot of people that are like, I will take 10,000, a thousand make. Yeah, exactly. That must be better. More, must be better being orange at that point. Yeah, yeah. But really it there's a nice odor to it that, you know, it's like being in a Florida orchard. Yeah. And a nice warm summer day. but this is it.

You have to know the different dosages, and then you have to know, as we have discussed on this show before, not medical advice. No. For anything I look at now, on recommendations, you know, especially if it's on the bottle of a supplement like the CoQ10. And it's like, well, you know, you have to if the thing says you should take, you know, 2000, whatever a day, I have to assume this is based upon a person that is about half my size.

so I would always just kind of, like, double that, that, you know, or again, you can start low and see if it works, but it's like, I'm not going to be worried about overdosing because again, yeah, not the same size. Yeah. And you know there are certainly overdose amounts of most supplements you can do. You can overdo just about anything.

a big one that I know people will caution about is vitamin D. And some of us take 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day and have been doing it for many years, and it's perfectly fine. But if you look at the studies that that were done, vitamin D over supplementation, you'd have to be doing like 100,000 IU for many days. Yeah. And that was one thing I was getting into. I was a little low on the vitamin D, and I've only been doing a thousand per day. Oh yeah. That would be low.

So now I'm going to try doubling that up. And then I would yeah I, I don't have medical advice as you know, but anybody who's not doing at least 5000 IU, you have to look into it. Never, never give medical advice. This is not the kind of show this is. Nope. But be aware of vitamin D is a big thing. Yeah. And I don't know what form this is going to take, but Pembro says I got vitamin D poisoning yesterday. Well, don't stay out in the sun and get burned. That's a different type of, right.

Well, especially for somebody with skin as white as he has due to living in Seattle, there was a strange yellow fireball in the sky. So you normally don't see that in Seattle. But. Yeah. What is this thing in the air? We don't understand. No, that's global warming. It's coming for you. Well, I'll be out there next month. Wow. You going to see if Membros will buy you some sushi? Yeah, I know, I know the answer to that question.

They'll take you out on the route, he'll let you sling some packages so you'll Uber for me, right? Well, I use like. No, that's not a good gig. you do not want to be Gene's Uber driver. You want. We've all heard how you tip. I tip just fine. Just fine? Indeed. I'm just fine. Yes. I gotta get that vitamin D level up for me. I gotta get my car rental thing set up. We'll see about that. Russell just let you drive his car? Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah.

Kelly, cotton gin says I'd ride along with them. Rose. Well, that could be a show, I'm telling you. Yeah, right along with Ben rose. That that is a show title right there if you dare. The, the doctor, the warned that there is indeed going to be another, you know, I don't know what this is going to look like in the media. But he said there is another big Covid wave coming now. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's like well really again right before elections I have to lock everything down.

Isn't that amazing is it, though? I guess not, because this will be. Or is it totally predictable? We need to, scare people or we need to, I, I saw some blurb of something in the news I haven't been following. Maybe you have any. It said that, there's, some organization in the House to impeach Biden for not sending money to Israel. I didn't see that.

Okay. I was curious if you had, because I. I saw the first I heard of it, so I wasn't I wasn't sure what all is going on there, but, CSB wants to know when the next grumpy old Ben's episode is. It'll be, right when the next one is. Probably next week on Wednesday. There you go. The, So I thought that was interesting. And he's like, I'm not taking any more shots because, you know, with all these, and everybody seems to be getting along, even the doctors now.

I mean, although that I, my guy was ahead of a lot of this, it's like, yeah, you know, he's like, yeah, well, the more you give this in your book, you know, your immune system's doing this and you do this and you're he's like, every time you do that you're affected. It's like, it's not good. Like no kidding. Yeah. No kidding. Well, and you saw the AstraZeneca had to be taken off the market finally because they can't get enough people to use it I guess.

No, because now there is a conclusive link that their product causes, blood clots. Nice. Now that was which one? The, the AstraZeneca was that is, so there was that the Moderna, the Pfizer and then the JNJ. maybe there were more than that. Yeah. I think JNJ is well taken off the market first though. I was the first one to disappear. But I talked about that with my doctor too, because I'm like, you know, I've gotten, you know, again, tested positive twice.

And I'm like, neither one was that big of a deal. And he's like, you know, when it all comes down to it. He said the mRNA when it came to the vaccine, was way too targeted. So as things started going further down the line and you had mutations that wasn't able to keep up where he said, for what? You know, just the way the old fashioned vaccine type that the Johnson and Johnson was, he's like it was actually a wider spectrum.

so it seems like people that got that did better than ones that, yeah, you know, who did the best? The ones who get nothing, probably. Although some people that got not also died. So I mean, there's there's toss up. Well yeah. Of old age, some more than others. Yeah. Bet versus. Yeah. My mom's one of those stats. She died during Covid. So from other things. yeah from a stroke. Right.

But her death certificate says Covid member says no grumpy old beds until helipad breaks and can't be used on a show. Well, I guess that means, because that means grumpy on beds is going to go along. That pathway. I mean, it's over 250 episodes. I mean, really, it's it's long enough. I think we've gone it's if you've gone 200 now. So if 250 episodes, 50 of which were with me, no two years were extra beyond that also then like 300 then. Yeah, close between that.

The ones Larry did and So it's like if you I guess if you hit 250 shows and you're not, profitable, you're not making more than like five bucks an hour. Oh, my God, nobody does a fucking podcast for money. Don't eat that whole bandwagon. You've never heard of Adam Curry and John? You don't think they do the podcast for money? That's a full time gig. Many of the Joe Rogan does his podcast for. They both be retired otherwise. Well, because they're so rich. Yeah, there's a difference in that.

Yeah, it's having too much money coming in and none at all. That's true. If you think Adam does the podcast for money, you're crazy. He does it for the love of the game. he does it to not go crazy. He did not, believe I brought some knowledge to the show yesterday. They were talking. Did you hear the show? No, no, they were talking about the I guy that the teacher that put the I together of the principal saying, yeah, the racist stuff. Right. And they were wondering how they tracked them.

And I'm like, well, Gene said they also tracked his phone number to one of the air things, and they both kind of like made fun of you. Like, why what? How, why do they track? And they either the phone I'm like, well, some of these sites do require a phone number. Yeah. Like, open I for one, I couldn't get an open air account. Right. Because you don't have a phone number, so I did. And then, well, it wouldn't take Google Voice, of course, which I understand nobody does.

Yeah, but then at first when I gave it the Xfinity line, it wouldn't take it after like six months and I tried again, it did. But they, they probably it's some list that some company keeps for like real numbers. Right. And then everybody subscribes to to check whether that you're on Google Voice or.

Net. Right. Well and it's I'm assuming you can tell who the provider is and they change because every number that I have to be fair to open I. Yeah the numbers that I have the cell phones at least the most recent ones that I was probably the first one I tried, came from Google Voice because when you got the free phones at infinity, it was always you have to transfer a line.

The easiest way to transfer a line was go get a free number on Google and then poured it out, because as long as you were boarding a number from somewhere. So I understand those lists will take a little time. Yeah. Get that updated. and it's funny because I've got a, I use an app called burner, for, but you can get phone numbers from and they have now started offering a burner subscription that apparently is on the list for an extra fee.

Oh, well, it makes it so, y'all know, burner phone numbers are clearly not on that list and you can't use them for verification. But if you want to pay five bucks a month, they'll give you a number that is on the list that you can then use for verification. That's what the, I think it's hilarious if you have to, there's a will. There's a way and a way to make some money. Yeah. Do you watch the videos on YouTube from, Rob Brackman occasionally.

He's had some interesting stuff, and now he's got he cells a whole lot of, different things. One, he has the hardware, but now he has. Yeah, he's got security shit. Right. And he does have the phone thing. So if you want a number that's not attached anything else they do VPN. And he was talking about getting off the grid and he's like if you really want his you have to understand you, you have to do this. You have to prepare. You can't just one day decide.

I'm going off the grid because of all of these facial recognition cameras. The last one was scary as hell because he was talking about the technology that they were going to use into the Apple phones. We covered it. I believe a grumpy old Benz may be here where they were going to do the search on anything on your phone if it matched child porn or something like that. It was a known hack. Yeah, yeah, he's like, but they have the chip now in the iPhones, I'm guessing.

And most of the newer androids that are able to process things like facial recognition, where you don't have to just have a photo, you can put somebody's face in there. And he's like the phones can constantly be looking one. Sure. any photo on the phone. That's one thing. But two even the camera he's like because the cameras are always on, they're always sending information. He's like it's possible that any camera on a phone, if it catches somebody, use it.

Somebody else may just be on the phone and you might be in front of it. It's going to ding and then said oh this was a pattern match. He's like every one of these phones being used as a bit you know very much like the show person of interest. Every camera he's like this is it. I have all of these on their own. No big deal.

But the fact that they're all now going to a mothership where the data is being sold and it's being, you know, curated and the things are being looked for and matches are being found. Yeah. It's interesting stuff. It's makes you paranoid. Well, that's the the ironic aspect of it is that, you know, Big Brother was pictured as being sort of like your television with a camera on top, right? No. Big brother is the thing you carry with you 24 seven. Yeah. With your phone.

Which is why my whole thing and I find and I think you've got a few of the Amazon type devices. I find them to be useful and I understand the privacy risk that they are. I never understood people that go oh you're so dumb for having that as they're holding their cell phone in their hand right. Yeah. Exactly. Like do you not realize that's the same thing. Yeah. Except it goes with you wherever you go. Yeah exactly. You know, unless you are members. Just leaves his phone at home.

So I applaud him for that. Most people don't. yeah. I mean, I would have a hard time with traveling without a phone. It's I, I tried it, right. I did it during, my visit to the border and, maybe the one between Poland and Ukraine. No. You know, the southern border. Oh, that border. Right? Yeah. And, you know, I my my only communication was limited to, a walkie talkie. Well, you have big range. Yeah. It's not that big satellite phone. Yeah. See there you go.

Just in case I know, but but that doesn't count. So the, the like not having the phone with me, it was definitely weird. It, it felt like I, I'd lost something. It's like an idiot. Well it's one it is kind of an addiction and it's not radiation. It's just one of those things you get very, very used to always having on you, just even if you're not using it right. It's just there. And so if you purposefully go somewhere without your phone, it feels like you left something in the home.

Well, I can tell you the amount of times, and I've just had this thing for about a year now, I think the Apple Watch. Yeah. And I can't even tell you how many times that it's been on the charger. And there have been a few times where I've left the house and didn't have it on. Yeah. You look at your wrist like, oh wait, it's not there. Yeah. I don't know what time it is. I don't know the temperature. Oh my God, my heart's doing right now this very second though. No, exactly.

I don't have this data now, but you get so used to this and it doesn't take a super long time to get used to. Yeah. You know, having this information right at your fingertips. and which I think is one of the reasons and this has been studied why so many people have trouble falling asleep. I am not somebody who normally deals with insomnia. So I'm lucky in that because that's horrible when it happens.

Yeah. And for me, it's usually if it's too warm, like when our air conditioner broke, okay, I knew I was screwed because there's no way I'm falling asleep if it's 80 degrees and humid in the room. Sure. Yeah, but if it's. I don't think it's possible for anybody to fall asleep at that point. Jesus. I know it'd be really tough to sleep. Well, it should be like mid to lower 60s. That should be like, you want to go in and hibernate.

But one of the things that is the issue now is one I guess there's a connection between the light coming off of your phone and people like if you're doing that right before you go to bed, I'm not sure that's really all that different from people watching television, which is something that's happened long before the phones existed. maybe it's a little different. Maybe it's a different light spectrum coming off of that.

But I think it is that connection that people are, you know, you're hearing your phone buzz or you're hearing the Phantom like, oh, was that was somebody text me. Oh, whoa, do I need, I need, oh I need the I need a oh wait. My phone. What I know maybe somebody's trying to get Ahold of me. that I disconnected from the world. I think this is why people are as crazy as they are today.

And why news stories make people go over the edge, why there's so much more violence and insanity is because people just are spread way to set. Brain is not really designed to handle that kind of data. like you really need to know what's going on in every corner of the world right now. No, no, I, I don't think anybody does. Frankly. Do we need to know what Gina's ordering for lunch? I haven't decided yet. Really? I don't know. I'm. I'm thinking of ordering groceries. Oh. Ordering groceries.

Say otherwise. People could vote for what you should have for lunch. Oh, God. By, You know, if you think Jean should have some, halal food that you put in 24,000, if you think you should have not had that every fucking day today, you know better to do it this week. Every day this week, like this is while you're at a pattern that, Ksbw has sent in a few more. Just saying. Ignore this just for funsies. So he likes the noise, obviously. yeah, I would imagine. And you sitting there.

I don't think we're gonna hear the noise at all. The whole show. Yeah, right. If he didn't say it was live, you never would have nobody. We would be zero satoshis into the show. if we didn't say we was live right here on the mighty no agenda stream on X. Yeah. Using podcasting 2.0 is great feature, including helipad to let us know when people are donating to support the show. You want to support this show? Go to unrelenting Dot show. You can do it via PayPal.

You can use it via P.O. box, which nobody really does much anymore, which is probably good because it seems like the post Office loses most of the mail, though. Dude, thanks to BSB. Another one for funsies. Yep. $0.08. So other than your doctor, what else going on? was an interesting week on the Bill O'Reilly program. Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm talking about O'Reilly for a long time. Yeah, I had on this week. I mean, his guests were topnotch.

He had both Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy out this week. Bringing the big boys. Well and girls except he messed up for fake name. Even my mom who is mid 80s, she was from the last time Vivek was on his show, which was maybe three months ago or so. she's like Vivek rhymes with cake. And he was calling him Vivek again because he like, how do you forget Vivek rhymes with cake. I mean, once you hear that, I think that's kind of maybe he just has to repeat it to himself a few times.

Well, I don't know. Maybe they maybe he calls cake cake tech tech maybe except the tech. And, you know, they were going it was a good debate with both of them. Tulsi would be a great either vice president or president, I think, and I think, when it comes to matching with Trump, she seemed all for that. And I think that could confuse a lot of people, being that she was a in office Democrat politician just a few years ago.

and although she has a book out now, which is, you know, hey, if you want to do what's good for America, leave the Democrat Party. So we welcome her into the side of sanity. Yeah. I don't know what that means, though. Leave the Democrat Party because most people are not involved with either party. No, they show up once every four years.

If I think it'd be more accurate to say, don't vote for somebody that's a Democrat, then leave the Democrat Party, because that's like, well, understand what both parties are pushing right now. Yeah. And understand that for whatever reason, what it meant to be a Democrat, when you and I were in grade school, high school is a lot different than what it means to be a Democrat today. I don't think big Republican has changed all that much. It's still the conservatives side.

It is still what I think is way more fiscally responsible. They go, hey you know what if we need to provide $18 billion for a social program or we need to send $60 billion over seas to somebody. One. There better be a damn good reason. And two, there better be a way to pay for it. That is not bleeding the taxpayers dry. This concept with the Democrats lately, especially since Joey Land and it's not new but they're doubling down on the pay your fair share. Pay your fair share. It's like fuck you.

You don't know what what is fair share mean. Most of these people that they're saying pay your fair share are already paying 30 to 50% of their income to the government. I don't know what more is. Fair share. But it was an interesting, debate between both of those folks and O'Reilly. I mean, they could Tulsi I mean that would be a good bit their two vice president and president. That'd be a good ticket. Yeah. Do you watch her? on, Rogan I have not seen that yet. Was it a usual came out?

That was pretty good, I mean, nothing, Plus nothing. Yeah, nothing earth shattering. it's all stuff that we pretty much have known, but, was definitely making the rounds. She's got a new book out. She was on Rogan. She was also on, if you're doing a Riley Morgan rounds. Yeah. She seemed unflappable, which I like. She was not going to be baited into anything. Yeah, yeah. Very calm. She's very calm. Yeah. I think she does yoga every day.

Probably. Well, she's a Hindu, so I mean there's, there's that. That's a Riley would be like. Yeah, you'd be the first, you know, Hindu vice president. You'd be the first speaking Samoan. Yeah, exactly. did you see, that blond chick were you comment about, Ram Swami? Oh, no, I but I know Ann Colter written him, right? Yeah, yeah, she was on his show, and, Yeah. Oh, Riley asked him about that, and he just, you know, kind of smile, like, you know, it was a good debate or something.

So, Yeah, there's no debate. So it was a it was making the rounds yesterday or the day before. next was this. But he had clips. She wouldn't vote for him because he was the. Yeah said. Yeah, pretty much she just she said the quiet part out loud. She basically said, oh, I agree with you on, on, all the points. A lot more than any of the other candidates who are running. I just could never vote for an Indian. Now, she was serious about this.

Was this? Yes. She's like, the president has to be a Wasp for 200 years. Every president this country has had has had to some tie to the original English colonizers that came to this continent. And I think that that is a good and right tradition that represents the American spirit. Like she doesn't want anybody who doesn't have racial genetics. Interesting.

And interestingly enough, in the she was super tactful about it and didn't react in the because I, I'm sure people thought child race made them. But he said, well, you know, it's interesting. I think, you know, there's certain aspects that I, I agree with you and there's others that I don't because what she's saying is extremely leftist, which is, is DNA is a indicator or guarantee of the actions of that person. Right? She is reducing everything to race.

There's only two groups of people that have done that. One is Nazis and the other one are woke liberals. Most other people other than those two groups tend to view race as a secondary or trick characteristic. And as somebody whose parents were immigrants, to the United States illegally and who was born in this country, but happens to look brown does not disqualify them from being president. And, I mean, I never had high, a high view of her in the first place.

I was shocked, she was kind of a cunt. Well, she always kept people, like, as a, as a Howard Stern shock jock, but I just, in general don't like people that are from New York or live in New York. Currently. I can do that blanket statement because that's not something they were born with. That is a self-selection criteria. If you choose to live in New York, you're a little fucked in the head. Yeah, certainly not for the, the low taxes and low crime rate for no reason.

There's literally no reason to live in New York unless you've bought into this, this mentality that it's the greatest city ever on the whole planet, which has never been the case. It's a, it's always been a very dysfunctional city. And it's it's like you're you want you like living in the rat maze. Great. Congratulations. You're not a normal person. I mean, the so an interesting thing.

I don't know if any surveys have really looked at, whether people, when it comes down to it, you know, Ann Colter, I mean, God bless her, I guess, for saying that bit out loud, you wonder how many people won't say it out loud. They're like, well, I'm not going to say anything, but I would never vote for him because he's oh. I'm sure there are. People would never vote for a woman or I would never.

If you're going to say something out loud, one would hope you thought a little bit about it and then, you know, it's not like she just sort of said it with a smiling face or that she, what she was show to get saw that she is just being, you know, emotional and, rational about. No, she, she went on to then spent five minutes explaining why she wouldn't vote for an idiot. Oh, well, that was nice of her to at least give an explanation.

Yeah. And that's what I kind of provided in a nutshell, that she thinks that the office of president has to be held by somebody that has British DNA. Well, that has a certain look. That's the reason why the DNA. It's why she didn't say look. But in her mind, it's like this country was built, by, wasps, so Anglo-Saxon Protestant. So if, the and she wants that continued, that would be okay. Or, if what if they came from England then it would be okay if he had a British.

Yeah. She even said that if his kid marries somebody that's blond and blue eyed, you get a mix, then their children would be okay being present. It's interesting that when you look at though, I mean, it's it's funny like, yeah, it is literally absurd for somebody that is a makes their living, writing and appearing for conservatives. I think she, you know, she mostly makes money by appearance fees and books. Oh yeah. She's a bomb thrower.

Always has to basically reduce things down to blue eyed blonds. One because it is. Oh, look, I will agree to a certain extent that if you're imagining a president and one of them is John Wayne, and the other one is Bill gates, which one do you think will show America has more power throughout the world? I mean, the look technically shouldn't, but it still does, doesn't it? You know, it. It has that. No actions show strength. Not what somebody looks like.

Yeah. No, I mean, the actions definitely do because I, you know, you could be the, you know, the little pipsqueak, you guy. And then all of a sudden, you know, you know, whatever martial arts, and you could just, like, kick somebody that's four times your size, their ass, you know, then people know. But you have to prove yourself at that point where, you know, it's interesting being a guy that is, you know, six foot six, you don't really get challenged much. And it's like, nobody really knows.

I could be a good fighter, could be a great fighter. Could be. Here's some some news. Nobody gets challenged much. You do every day. Never by the Russians. No. CSB is just really enjoying that noise. You know, he it's I think he hates membros. I think this is why he keeps on setting the noise off. Oh my God. For no apparent reason. But I mean, we appreciate it. If you could send in 333 per minute CSB, that would be great. more and more and more would be good to see.

A speedy bubble was streaming some satoshis while listening that don't make no noise. That's good English right there, but I think the look has something to do with it. I mean, I, I would highly believe that, Tulsi Gabbard would, even if Tulsi Gabbard had the exact same qualifications as, say, Kellyanne Conway, I still think, she's getting a lot more votes because she's hot. So I think what has stuck the Tulsi, it's not hard, you know, compared to Kellyanne Conway.

Yeah. I mean, Kellyanne has aged a lot thanks to Brooklyn for a thousand, says hype. Tulsi is also younger than Kellyanne. I know, I'm just saying you put them side by side and you're like, which one's going to get more votes? The look will matter no matter what you try to say that it shouldn't. Yeah, but also, Tulsi isn't white. I know, but she's hot. That's the difference. I mean, it's not really hot either. She's not. Not hot. Not ugly for sure.

Now make people look at them and they go, oh India dude. He's he's oh yeah, he's dark skin I is there a hot Indian guy that, you think would have a better chance? The probably his. I don't know any at this particular point, but I think a lot of people just look at him and go, oh, you don't look like me. You don't look like any other president we've ever had. And that's wrong because, I believe he could do the job quite well. We've had some ugly president. Yeah, Richard Milhous Nixon.

I don't know if he was all that ugly now, if he would. Maybe if he grew the beard like you have, it would be. Yes. Yes. Well, you know, presidents have beards. Back in the olden days, back in the, Abraham Lincoln days, in the pre Lincoln days reporting Lake Lincoln days to, there's, I think, when do they stop having beards? Probably in the turn of the 20th century. Yeah, I guess that's a good question.

When was the last president that they had a full beard for a majority of their, of their term, then a while? yeah. Now you got me curious. I want to look at the all of the presidents of the United States. You're like, why? Because that used to be like, you're tough. You're the general looking kind of guy. So they had mustaches during Teddy Roosevelt's time, and, it looks like, I can't. We need a president with a beard. Gene, you must run. I can't. No, you're not an American citizen.

Well, you need more than to be an American citizen to run. Well, okay, you need to have money. So we. If we keep getting these people's mad. Harrison was the last president with a full beard. Really? Harrison? Yeah. And what was when his term was, what, 18? some odd 18 Pew. Pew was the correct term. He was, three presidents prior to Teddy Roosevelt. Interesting. Why did the beard go away? But then you go back to, like, James Garfield before him, Rutherford B Hayes before him.

Graham. Right. Ulysses. Those guys. Oh, yeah. That's Lincoln had a beard, you know, didn't like a whole slew of people that just had big sideburns for a while. Well, you see, Lincoln both ways, you know, was Lincoln the bearded when he was elected, Lincoln had the trouble growing a beard. But, yes, he had a beard. But, you see, there were shaved his mustache. That's the thing. That's kind. Excuse you. I think there were times he was completely clean shaven, but that might have been before.

Now he's never clean shaven, born with a beard. He was like you. It just was four feet long. Very inconvenient. Long? Yes, very, very inconvenient. Someday my beard will be bigger than I am. I think that may have already gotten to that point. Haha. interesting though it is the look. It has something to do with it. I'll give Ann Colter that, I don't know. but that that is the. Well, then Obama shouldn't have been elected either. Shirley. Well, he's British, right? Obama yeah. No, it was Irish.

No, no. His family, it's like they didn't they tracked him back to Ireland. I don't know who they are in this exact way. People are doing this DNA bullshit. They are genealogy. No, I think Obama is Irish, isn't he? No. You put a little you put the little, apostrophe. Right? It's a guy with an apostrophe. His name and his name is good. Did I forget that? yeah. Oh, Biden. Obama. Oh, those. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Obama was not related to Kennedy. They might have been like double cousins.

Yeah, might have been. I think that was Bush and Kennedy were double cousins. In the New Yorker. We have an article Rediscovering Obama's Irish Roots. See, it's, he looks really Irish. Oh, he's super Irish. Yeah. the border, the Irish on the coast of Africa. Yeah. Looks like he has a Irish that got stuck on working on the slave trade and stayed in Africa. Obama himself first learned about his great great great grandfather, Falmouth. that was from Ireland. Yeah. Right there.

That's why he was okay. Yeah. So yeah. That's okay. And Colton's birth certificate says he's Irish. He's Irish. That is why in Colter I can't really complain. It's like, oh, Barack Irish. so at least he's better than that. A smiling. Yeah, yeah. So I, I'm not a big fan of, people that utilize their ethnicity, to get into positions. And there's plenty of that going on. Corporate America where somebody would not have been promoted were they not the right ethnicity.

so there have been a lot of people that, have accelerated their progress through the company because of their ethnicity. In a lot of companies, most big companies, in fact. But at the same time, if you utilize merit as the qualifier for somebody, it's hard to argue that Rama Swami is not qualified. Well, he's qualified, he is. He's built $1 billion company more well, not a billionaire. He's built a company that generated over $1 billion to him personally, which is pretty good.

Yeah, he is pretty good. He is quite a capitalist class at, Harvard. I mean, he's got all the. We got the Texas check. Yeah, got all the check boxes. He's educated. He is eloquent. He is. Yeah. Quick to think. You know, he's so it's not like he is. He's not a stutterer like, the president now, you know, and he doesn't have dementia. He doesn't have dementia. No. And he and he does think and respond personally.

He doesn't have a bunch of, like, people walking with them that are going to write the whatever he says. I think there's an awful lot that and I, I was not a fan of his initially when he came in. I'm like, who's this guy? This is a little short. I needed let him listen to him. Yeah. And then you listen to him and it's like, guys basically vocalizing what I'm thinking. So who cares what he looks like? Well, this is it. This is why TV changed everything.

The Kennedy versus Nixon, when there was the first televised debate. All right. There's a lot of that. This went on in music too, where there were black artists that were getting played because they didn't know, you know, or vice versa, that white artists that sounded black were getting played. and it's interesting, like, oh, you meet the person, then you're like, oh, you're not what I was expecting.

quite interesting what the look will do, whether you realize it's having an effect on your, thought processes or not, you would think when it comes to be president, you're like, well, let's just get the most qualified person who's able to lead the country, you know? And for Robert Swaby, the fact that he built a company, I mean, we saw Donald Trump did a pretty damn good job when it came to economic policies.

Yeah. You would think somebody that was a business person, that was the whole thing before Trump. It was for years. We got people on the right. No one, you know, if we could just get somebody in that understood business exactly, we'd be okay. Yeah. The problem with Trump, I think, was that honestly, Trump could have been much better earlier in life. He's too old. and well, I don't mean old is in declining health and dementia. Old as in, he's set in his ways and he's achieved all his goals.

And so he is less hungry. And I think a Trump when he first talked about running on NBC back in his 40s, like, you know, I think he had a big interview with, what's his name? Dave. good old Dave Letterman. Yeah, yeah. David Letterman, NBC. and he first mentioned the idea of, you know, I think I'd make a pretty good president, probably the greatest president that ever was.

he he probably should have ran then, but I think he both got talked out of it by people saying, dude, it's way too much work for not enough upside, right? And do it when you're old, so you'll be dying sooner. Yeah, exactly. And, back then, I think he actually would have brought in much better people, or at least fired people faster. But as much as everyone's chanting Trump, Trump, Trump right now, it's. We saw what Trump's first term look like.

We saw that he accomplished almost nothing that he campaigned on. The wall didn't get built. He didn't wash out the swamp. like none of this shit actually happened. Now, the good news is nothing bad happened either. We didn't start a new wars. the economy was good, and he did control the border. I mean, that was maybe not through the wall, but with dealings with. Yeah. Obrador. But he was keep America country.

He was mostly tied up with all the bullshit in Congress with impeachments almost from day one. Right. Like, oh yeah, the Hillary fake dossier was it was there was just his whole presidency was just a a nonstop, slow motion car wreck. And the news was having a grand old time. You know, they had stories every day going. But yeah, they were making money. The part that I really don't like about Trump is the people that he brought in.

And he brought in more swamp than the freaking Obama, like the people he brought in were from the conservative side of the swamp, but they were absolutely lifelong politicians or appointees. You know, these were people that got us into the trouble that we were in, and no way in hell were they going to be the ones guys like John Bolton like, oh yeah, mustache. Why would you ever bring in a guy like John Bolton into your administration?

John Sununu I mean, there's a whole slew of guys that Trump brought in that, were I don't think they were necessarily working behind the scenes to make him less effective. It's just that the things that they want to accomplish were the opposite of what Trump ran on. Yes. And I get when you're a candidate like Trump was who came from outside of the political establishment. Yeah. You're like, well, who do I bring in?

Because, you know, there's one thing going into the political establishment as president, as a numero uno, as the number one guy, it's a lot harder to get your friends who might know what they're doing to come in for a much lesser gig. That's an appointed gig. They don't want to do it well, but that's the problem, is it?

It seemed like you're he initially just started putting family members in, and as much as that looks dumb, it was probably the best thing he did because at least they're not going to back seven. You would hope. Yeah, you would hope. But, you run out of family members. And so he started listening to advice to bad advice that said, oh, well, you really need to start bringing in people that have experience doing this stuff.

And, you know, we're all on the same team and, you know, they've been lifelong conservatives. And it's like, no, they're fucking rhinos at best. And really basically Democrats at worst. And there's a, there, there's a saying that I'm going to butcher something to the effect of, history has a habit of repeating itself.

And, if certainly if you don't learn from it and inasmuch as I, I like the idea of a bull in a China shop with a Trump who has experience in business but no experience in politics coming in to shake things up, I, I also don't think that's the case right now, meaning Trump is not as much of a bull in a China shop anymore. He's spent the last eight years in politics, not in business.

And, he is, he's got a lot of baggage with him that he's bringing in should he get elected, which I'm still not sure he's going to get elected. But certainly everybody else that I talked to seems to think he's a guaranteed shoo in. And everybody that they know is voting for Trump. And most people I know certainly voting for Trump. Well, I mean, when the other choice is Biden. So. Right. But again, it's not like Biden was elected by a, a clean election.

Let's just say no, it's not like there was actually more people turning out to vote for Biden than were turning out to vote for Obama, and there's no way in hell I don't buy that or vote. There were people that voted for Obama that have never voted since, right? Because it was, oh, I want to be a part of history. Exactly. And there's no way in hell that Biden got all of those people. And then even more, well, this whole next election. This is why it's very, very important to be watching.

I think the House of Representatives right now, because unless I'm mistaken, what happens now? This is where everybody laughs and thinks that a third party candidate like RFK is meaningless. But what happens say if RFK and I'm not predicting this but let's say RFK wins California. well then nobody has the amount of electoral votes to be president. And then it gets handed to the House of Representatives to decide who is the president. Correct.

Well, this happened when Ross Perot ran because Bill Clinton did not get the majority of the vote, but he won the election. But did he have enough electoral votes to be president? You know, I don't remember that. He probably did. Yeah, because I don't recall that being a big deal. Yeah. It didn't go to the house.

But if you don't get the right amount of electoral votes, and that means it would make the only way this would happen is if a third party candidate won a state and it would have to be a fairly large state. But if it won one of the big states, if RFK were to win a California or a New York or an Illinois, things would get very weird, very quick, because then it goes to the House of Representatives, which you would think at this point is still leaning Republican.

But, you know, this this could change before. So Clinton got 370 electoral votes. he carried 32 states. Bush Bush got 18 states and 168 votes, and Ross Perot got zero states and zero electoral votes. See? So that's it. If you don't get the electoral votes, he got 19% of the popular vote, but he didn't win any states. That's the difference now because we don't go by a national number, although that some of these idiot states want to. Yeah, yeah.

I wonder I don't remember, but I wonder if because I actually voted in that election, if, if there were any states where Ross Perot had a majority of the vote or not, because a state, the state's electoral vote does not have to coincide with his popular vote. No. Well, some states a dozen, some, it goes to another. But you need that, 270 electoral votes.

So if you can come in and, and we've seen very close elections over the last couple of cycles, RFK comes in and just takes a handful of those electoral votes, but I think he need to do better than Ross Perot to get you in the single state. Do you think that he would get more than 20% of the popular vote? No, I don't, but I'll take it. All it would take is one state something weird happening and people in California all of a sudden going, Fuck Biden, man, I'm going for this guy. Instead.

I don't really get I don't predict that it's going to happen because it would be an oddity. But having a very strong third party candidate who could actually win some electoral votes in a reelection that is as close as this one is probably going to be, even though it should be a blowout, something this close. when it starts getting into that oddity of, well, then these people decide who is going to be president, I can't even imagine that.

I would say all of these Democrats right now, they're like, oh, Trump is promising violence. It's like, well, no, he's not. He said it would be a bloodbath for the car companies. I know that's a little different, but can you imagine if it came down to RFK takes just enough electoral votes off the table that neither Biden or Trump get enough electoral votes to be elected, and it goes into the House of Representatives. who then could pick whoever the fuck they want?

It doesn't even have to be one of those two guys, right? Which is interesting. I mean, the House of Representatives could go, oh, let's see, who should we pick? You know, they could throw anybody in there, can they? I believe so I don't I don't know. And I wonder what the, what the percentage has to be in the house. Is it just a one vote? Oh, do you need just one more than half to, It's quite interesting, though. but this is the kind of stuff that I've not heard anybody else talking about.

Yeah, probably because it's extremely unlikely that RFK is going to get one state. Yeah, but after the last election and all the kerfuffle, you would think that maybe it would be interesting television to tell people. What do you think if RFK was getting close to getting one state, there would be a massive amounts of mail in votes discovered, all for Biden? Well, of course they would be from the last election as this one. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, we found these from the last election. They should count. Yeah. If we didn't count them the last time. So it's only fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't I don't think it's I mean I would say it's not likely, but I'll even say it's probably not possible. Well because it would be bad I think RFK is probably going to get about 3 to 5% of the total vote. And so states will get more. But I don't think he'll have enough to win. here, now let's see.

I think he'll get over a million votes, but I don't think he's going to have more than 5% absolute tops. He's probably going to be in the 3% range. Now, even more interesting is if neither candidate gets a majority. Yeah. Then it goes to the House of Representatives where each state gets one vote now. Okay. How does this fucking work? Yeah, right. Who has the majority there? I know the Republicans have a majority of seats, but. Right. Each state only gets one.

Yeah. Once one state is a Republican majority by a long shot, a vote per state. because there are more states that are that vote Republican than their states, they vote Democrat. No, it's not called the Senate number eight or, four members. It's only the House that elects the president. Yeah. And it's one it says, one representative from each state, which is very interesting to know. yeah. Because the only way that Democrats win is because they carry California and New York. Let's see.

So a, senators would elect the vice president. So there's. Yeah, seven. Being in the Senate is not as good as the House. Oh, it's much better if you only have to run every six years. Yeah. They get to elect a vice president though. That's what they get. The House elects the president, but you only get one vote per state. So I mean, what happens in states, you know, obviously not all of the state representatives are of the same party, right? Yeah, I guess it would be a, majority.

Yeah. What the majority of the representatives of that state agree to. That's very interesting. I wonder if you could have a state that just abstains. I would I don't know why you would want to, but I guess. But if they have an even number or, you know, the same number of people from each party, a majority needs to be reached. So it says you have to keep voting until it's, you know, so if there's any kind of tie, that could last for years. Yeah. This is maybe what we're going for.

Well, and I think the president pro tempore during that time is the speaker of the House. Interesting, interesting. I would think that, you would have when it comes down, because you're right, the massive amount of the people in the house, there are a lot from California. you know, you got 54. It looks like. So you only get one vote out of all those. But yeah, Louisiana, you know, Arkansas, they all get one too.

So this really is the ultimate in, and equaling things out, although I think it's still pretty close now. There's definitely more, more Republican states. There are fewer Republican. Well, it looks better this way. Like, if you look at the House, the Republicans have a very slim majority, but they represent more states because states like New York and California are virtually all Democrat. Yes. Yeah. This so if you go by state, the Republicans win. Absolutely.

It's a mathematical, intriguing problem here. That is I don't think it is. Dude, I think you're overstating and I think it's very simple. The Republicans win. I don't think you understand how many blue states there are up in the, the northeast. I think this would. I think it'd be a lot closer than you know. I don't think it is. I mean, we can run through the numbers. We got time. But it's, if you take out New York in California and the number, I can tell you how many.

How many representatives does this state's. That's easy enough to find out. California and New York, and gross north seats. let's see how. I mean, it looks like there's 21 or 22 blue states. I mean, it's, there's a couple that are in the middle, so it's I think the Republicans probably take it when you go down. California has 52 seats. You're going to take one vote from 52 people in the House. Right. And like I said, it's the same thing for, you know, South Dakota, which normally gets three.

It's like you get yeah, which gets one vote. And there's the same now. Yeah. That's that's my point is and the House is still even with California having 52 of those is still Republican by a couple of votes. So just over half the House is Republicans. And you the big states, the only big state frankly that doesn't vote Democrat is Texas with 38 seats. But all the other big states like New York and California, vote Democrat. So you reduce 52 Californians to one, you reduce 26 New York to one,

and you reduce the 38 from Texas to one. But, you know, it's a smaller, there's smaller number of states. The smaller states are the ones that are voting more Republican. It is shrinking. I think that if you shrink it down, it doesn't matter how the state voted in the national election, doesn't matter how the state even votes for senators. What matters is, does the state have more Republicans than Democrats, which will determine whether it votes Republican or Democrat?

And then the total number and, you know, by so that's what, 60, 70, 80? So from the two states of California and New York, those represent 80 votes in the House. Normally those are going to represent two votes. Now it's still within obviously single digits because there's only 50 states. But the interest this has only happened twice. in the 1800 presidential election when the House chose Thomas Jefferson and the 1824 election. So it's been a while since this has gone down.

Yeah, but I also don't think it's going to happen because I don't think there's any way in hell RFK is going to get a state. But wouldn't it be beautiful if he did? Can you imagine the violence in the streets, people just not understanding, like why? Why? This is our our votes don't count. That would be all it would be on MSNBC. You're absolutely right. That would be the monster is our votes don't count. That's correct. They're not supposed to. Right.

This is how what you're like. You don't understand. You're not actually voting for president. You're not voting for that guy. You're voting for the elector in your state who is going to go and make the vote on behalf of your state. It is not a popular election. You know, as much as the Democrats want to go and try and relook at these older elections like we were, the was the popular vote.

It's like, but no, you wouldn't have because if the rules are changed, more people might come out and vote in Illinois and California who know that there's no. Well, that's exactly right. I mean, dude, why would you bother going to even take time to vote in California as a Republican, right? Because, you know, it's not going to happen. Like you have zero representation out there. So if you haven't left, God knows why. your vote is completely irrelevant.

So this is what the Democrats that go and blather on on MSNBC and the like will never take into consideration that those oh no, Hillary, what if water Biden would have won there al Gore with a one. you don't know that because it's not the same. You can't change the rules after the game has been played. I can't play in a game of checkers and then go, well, you know, I would have won if this would have been the rule. Yeah, you can't do it. People try to re legislate it, but try to rejigger it up.

Yeah, yeah it it would be very entertaining if RFK could just win one state in a big one. Even better, like California. That would be beautiful. It would be devastating for the Democrats, that's for sure. But I don't you will if somebody thinks there's a realistic chance of that happening, then he should definitely not drive in in convertible. Right. Because really, how much does it take to, $25,000 to mess with this system? What was the. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were asking something else.

What was the breakdown on the last electoral votes for the, the last election? How many did, I think Biden got? 10 billion. And, I know that's what it's about. Five votes. That is what it seems like. So, Biden got 306. You need 270. So you would have to drop that down like 36 votes could happen. Yeah. Could happen. Yeah. If the votes were actually counted between the hours of the election and midnight, then absolutely. It could have happened.

It was amazing how the night nighttime votes just, and then then all the places that with all the electronic machinery said they're going to need 3 or 4 days. What, 3 or 4 days to do what? to print more ballots and then hand run them through the machines you have to talk about? Okay, I gotcha. I guess we have to figure out who's voting for who. How might that it's going to be entertaining. No. Oh. So retarded.

I mean, the the path that this country has been going down into third world would is both sad and hilarious. The last boost was from CSB. He said it's his last. And he says whoever, whoever number 15 lasts for today. Thank you for your service. No, thank you for your service. CSB and helping us test out. Yeah, the pews, they clearly work. They clean. Right? Ben Rose is annoyed the show was a well funded from the Polish contingent.

Yeah. Ben Brown says it's not even his show and he's in it I know. Can you imagine if it was his show? There would be a five minute show. Like you'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that off you turn that off, you turn that off. And the more you get mad, the more Ksby would be like, boop boop. Is it such a low cost of annoyance? Right. What is 333 sats right now? Like $0.02? probably like five. It's not much. Yeah, it's it's a it's a small amount at this point. Yeah. It's it's definitely under a buck.

But the payoff is so cool. The payoff is so cool. You say so I think it's interesting. I mean, I there's no question that when you engage it. Yeah, the show is going to bring in more boost. I mean I'm not saying it's a lot, but it's going to bring in more. Yeah, yeah.

And here's the thing is, I really wish that instead of using SATs, the same type of system with the automation and the ability to send money would have been done with dollars or, you know, fractions of a dollar they're starting to build for the very simple reason is that people have no clue what a SAT is. And it's like it's like casino chips or video game in-game currency. It's just, I don't know, it's something I put in like 50 bucks or a hundred bucks, I don't know, I got a bunch of these.

So I'm gonna send like 300, right. Some of these interfaces are starting to build it in, which is the instantaneous translation version. Yeah. Because the because like on YouTube, when you want to do, a little paid message to the person or, on Twitch, if you're making a donation, like it's all you can see exactly how many dollars it is. So if you want to have up to, I think, ten characters, it's it's $2. If you want to have up to 25 characters, it's $5.

You want to have a couple of sentences, it's $50. So that's another interesting thing that, maybe Eric could work on. The higher the amount, the more of the show. Yeah, exactly. Exactly like your message is, it'll only show the first X number of characters, depending on the amount of the donation. In 333 today is about $0.20, according to Ned. Okay, well, there you go. So it's like. Yeah, what do you want? You know, if you want that minimum to be like ten bucks, that's 16,000 and a half.

Yeah. I mean, it really should be, honestly. But it's like no one's going to send 16,000 SATs because again, people don't naturally think of SATs as being that worthless. And so they go up. They go down. When somebody sends a thousand, they think that there's something, something significant like, hey, you want to send 20 bucks to the show? That's like 33, 33. That's like all three 33,000 is, yeah, 20 bucks is 33,333 roughly. Yeah, yeah. In that, in that general area.

and that's the thing is, it really shouldn't have been SATs. It should have been like, Kula sats. How many thousand sats do you want to do? So at least you want you think a minimum should be a thousand, which is like $0.60. No, I think well, so that's a little. That's a little if you want to just have something ding I certainly wouldn't ding it for less than a thousand sats.

But if you want to have a message read and I've said this before and I think Ben Rose is even higher, but I, I don't really think that a message out of interrupt or we're talking about if it's less than five bucks. True. Which puts you at like 88, 88, you can set that. That's 541. That could be the minimum of, indicating a very. Yeah, yeah. So it's got to be at least 8800 sats, before, it generates a read. Anything less than that. And this is what I think Adam did very well.

Is they for people who donate less than $50 per show are not read out. You're anonymous, and it's, Yeah, that's the brilliant part is really honestly, if we're going to be honest, they don't want to waste the time to read load donors because it's going to take a long time to go through all the people that donate a small amount of money. Right? It's not wasting their time. It's just there isn't enough time. Right. Because then literally half the podcast would be reading and $3 from John Smith.

Thank you. John. I appreciate the $3. Fortunately for us, the levels are so low that when the C, A, B sends in $0.20, it. Yeah, it pops up even though I don't think it should be, making any like you tend to read everything no matter what. Well, that will we can adjust this. That's why I brought this one up. Mainly going to be an adjustment in your head. Well, that's where that's happened. No, it's the adjustment in the software. Because if it doesn't go pupu, then it's like it's not right.

I don't care if it goes pupu. I'm less concerned about that. I think Membros dislikes it more than I do, too. I'm just saying when it goes, pupu don't just stop and then start looking at you said, you know, I think I should take you saying pupu and change that to say pupu, whatever it might be to change the audio to that. Like you say, that's fine. I don't care the awesome. If you want, go for it. Feel free.

My my my only point is that the the stopping of the direction of the conversation in order to acknowledge somebody, no, I should have a minimal cut off. I agree, I think we need to, set that higher and then look at the other ones during a donation segment. If we want to scan through them. But that would make sense.

Yeah, if you want to at the end of the show, like as we're coming up to the last couple of minutes of it, go ahead and we want to thank blah blah blah blah, blah, blah blah for sending us sets and I don't want to think blah blah blah blah blah. Good. Well then feel free. Cotton gin. He has the script. He's looking for the pupils now so we can isolate that. But see, we'll have that right in the audio. If you listen to unrelenting once it's, put up and posted, you can get all the pupils you want.

It's the beautiful thing. It's one step at a time. We're getting the stuff working until it crashes. That, I don't know. Then it'll be like, why the hell? Because that's what happened to Ben Rose. He put it up, had his own node. It was working like, you know, fine and dandy. And then it crashed. Although he was running a, Minecraft server on the same box. Oh, it's like, don't do that. Yeah, well, I picked up a node four years ago or three years ago,

whenever it was, when this whole thing started. Remember? yeah. When you got your vote, did you have a. Yeah. Before I got the voltage account, I first put up my own node, and I was in the process of waiting for it to populate as it's downloading and synchronizing with the chain, before I would actually start using it.

So thankfully, before I put any money in there, I, and during that period of time where I was waiting for it to synchronize, one minus crashed like, oh yeah, that was no. And so I lost two drives. So basically all the data was gone, including that node. And in the new helipad, the troll rooms talked about this. There is you can set a minimum. So the helipad is moving brand new. You can put your own audio in there. It's in the interface. So check out L.A pad if you got a node.

So how much to sell a pad. Take. What do you mean how much does it take? Well, you know it's not going to be free forever. It's just being tested right now. At some point they're going to want a piece of the action. Probably. It's all open source, right now. They've taken the I think it's Eric. Is there somebody else on helipad. Let me know. and we'll update everybody when we're back next week on Friday. You know anything exciting going this week? no. Again? We're. It's not that big.
