117: F The DMV

Fuck that shit, man. Fuck them. Fuck libertarians, fuck the Republicans way. Fuck the Democrats. Yeah, give me the. Hello, and welcome to episode number 117 of unrelenting. I am Darren on alias. You live and we will do the donation segment first. Okay. We're done. Cool. see, your, your live if we are right as opposed to the other way when we're not live. No, you are alive. I am alive, yes. Yeah. I had about a week of fun. and, it was, just your typical summer cold.

I suppose it went from day one. You sure it wasn't Covid 24? It could be. It could be Covid 24. I don't do the test. Test for Covid 24 because I had a test laying around, and I'm like, for shits and giggles, why not? My wife had something to do. And, I think it was just your usual, summer cold. But we went from day one, which was a sore throat, to my go. Boy, I hate sore throats because as a kid I always got strep throat. so I always treat those a little bit more seriously.

And, by day two, the sore throat was subsiding and all I was doing was draining a lot. Like eyes, nose, just liquid coming out everywhere. Which was fine. And then maybe both could be. Well I'm not dead yet but you get no medical advice given on this show. No, no, no definitely. You know there is a 1% survival chance. Well see I would be that guy would be that guy. By the time Friday rolled around it was mainly nausea mixed with just being really kind of worn out, tired. That kind of a thing.

So it went through a pretty quiet progression for the wife. She ended up getting a cough that just wouldn't go away. And I call the doctor, call the doctor, call the doctor, call the doctor, call the doctor. What are those coughs that, sound like you're dying? and happens, like, multiple times a minute, which for the person coughing, I'm sure it's a really horrible thing and an inconvenience for anybody in the room with you by, like, day number three. You want to kill somebody.

So she finally called the doctor, talked to the nurse practitioner on the phone, did a tell a visit. And they gave her some pills and an inhaler and. Oh sure enough within 24 hours it's like 90% subsided. like I told. Yeah the inhaler things worked amazing. Yes. And that's what it was the last time too. And that was after doing this for the last time.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, but the last time I think it was a solid month plus, before getting the inhaler and that it was like, oh, this is like magic. So I'm like, did inhaler get the nail or the inhaler? Yeah. You know, you got to do what works. Can I understand that? It's not fun, but it's like just, you know, and the word she hates when the doctor's like, yeah, we want to see you because our doctor is, like, 40 minutes away. Because it's the doctor we've been with forever.

So it's a little bit more of an inconvenience. The doctor was like, I want to see you. Well, that's going to be a couple hours out of your day. You're going to have to leave work. You know, you can't just go on your lunch break, but the end result is everybody is doing a lot better. And that's why we're here today for unrelenting, a show that has zero in donations, including booze, no booze, not a single boost. Oh, that means we aren't to waste any time talking about it, drew.

I mean, the pupils are on note like I did the, grumpy old bands and that annoyed memories. So much. It was hilarious. Yeah, the pews. We did set a minimum limit of 10,000 on it. I need to do that. I do, but you know who's not going to be puking? Is that a Polish guy? Because we have had a falling out. I kissed, I heard that he did. He sent you the message too, which was great. he sent one to Larry and he sent one to Ryan, like, dialed in. There's another again. I am no longer donating.

Like, never donate for anything you're getting only donate for what you've received in the past. Yes. That is literally what I tell them. Nothing is guaranteed it, it is there for your donation is for what you've already heard or experienced or whatever. It's for things that happened in the past and it's you're showing gratitude. It's not in anticipation of getting something new. Yes, exactly. And that's what I tried to explain. I guess that's arrogance.

It's like, no, that's not that's just letting you know that if you're going to send something in that is well, here's the real question is, okay, he's not doing do you think he's listening? Probably. But it's like, if you're going to send something in that is more or less an ad, read. But I realized that most of the time we'll just read it. But and that's what annoys me the most. It's like the guy has donated very regularly. and we do exactly what he wants. The one time you do something fun.

don't do that or I'll never donate again. It's like, well, then don't donate again. We're podcasters, we provide content, we try to entertain now at his expense. No, no. It's okay. Somebody will step up you know metal step up and he'll be like yeah I want you to read this or we just yeah we continue to do and I mean anybody can and by step up you mean somebody else is gonna start getting donations from him.

Right. Probably. Yeah. And the reality is anybody that wants to send in a booster, Graham, anybody can sign it. Ksbw. To saying there's no way to know if it's a legitimate booster Graham or not. So there's that really they're all intimate. But are you talking about their allergy. You just don't really know where they came from. Well you never know where they came from. I know that's the beauty of the Lightning Network which I'm glad my Lightning Network is still running. So that's good.

Oh good. Good. Didn't crash the network ever again. The, liquidity seems to be fine. When I set it up, I had a million in and a million out. And it's still right about there. Oh, good. Good. So that means shit's flowing through you, not just to you. Correct. So it's keeping things kind of balanced down the road. You just have to pay attention just to make sure.

Because if you ever get down to where you don't have the incoming liquidity, then you're people are like, well, I can't send you anything. So it's not a hard thing to, when I was originally reading about all this stuff and people are like, well you have to check every day, you have to make sure all your channels are balanced. It's like, no, no, you don't need to make sure your channels are balanced. Meaning if I have a channel open to you that is 100% outgoing, that's fine.

But yeah, as long as I have a channel open from other people that are also incoming, right? You know, then it all kind of works itself out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you open up a channel to some place that's big, then you get to start getting traffic going both ways. Yes. It's a beautiful thing. Any new spaceships? Did you buy anything? So let's go. Wait. This is just, this was a random joke, but now, the reality of the random joke is sometimes they hit a little too close to home.

I'm just happy the the whole damn sale's over now. You're right. You're happy. Yeah. That, you don't have to buy no more money was being spent. thank you, Ned, for the 3333. Glad you recovered from the Fauci Ebola bird Aids 19. Yeah, that's, There you go. It is bird Aids. Now, that's because that's the new thing. I'm surprised they didn't tie any of this to the cicada. Like it's a once in a 17 year, the cicadas bring out the viruses from you.

Watch the interview that, Tucker had with. I can't remember the dude's name, but it was on about a week ago. And it was a guy who's a professor, an economist. I know that you sent me the link. I haven't had a chance to. It is excellent. And it talks about the creation of the coup and how Fauci should be in prison and all kinds of things.

And and not from a, you know, a pillow sales guy perspective, but from an intellectual perspective, which to some people may be worse, but, it's it's nonetheless, it is very well done. There was probably a I think it was one of Tucker's best selling views. but in terms of what the other person was saying, I mean, Tucker, there was always just Tucker. But, he had that look on his face like he was. It's he's always, like, amazed at everything, or he's laughing like a little girl.

Yeah. That's that's just to, modes of interaction there. It's what he's got. It's a. Yeah. Exactly what he's got. Yeah. Pretty much. But it's just shows that you need to look at what's going on in a different perspective and understand that a lot of things that you would otherwise think are not related. there's a really good chance they are, in fact, intertwined.

And a lot of people it's very easy because it was my default out of the box with people like Fauci, which was, oh, it's a fast moving thing. They're just getting it wrong. They're trying to do the best they can and then see, I never thought that I could tell the guys, you see, well, I wish I had that ability. I gave the benefit of the doubt. But as time went by, it finally was like, well, no, wait a minute. Well, he's Italian. Why would you give him the benefit of the doubt? Wow.

Gene at, sir gene.com. Yes, please. All the Mafia dudes, please send me an email. Yes. Those damn dago is. You can't trust them? Nope. Yeah, I would get us, but that won't get us thrown off of X yet because he's he's backing Trump. Elon is backing Trump after the, after the big verdict yesterday. Wow. Shocker. Who what what's what a surprise for everybody. to me sir it is.

Well all these things again are intertwined for the people that think oh this case against Donald Trump in New York about hush money to a porn actress is really just about that. It's not about national politics. You're brain dead.

Oh yeah. That's a that's a nice way of putting it. Yeah. Well I mean I was amazed when Bill Maher went on to Megan Kelly show of course because he was hawking his new book. And said the biggest problem he had with Donald Trump was that he was an election denier. And she's like, well, you don't have a problem with Hillary. And he's like, Hillary never does that. And she's like, are you? Hi.

yeah. She did. Yeah. Yeah. And he's an interesting one because he is definitely the default liberal, but because I think of his I don't even think it's so much this persona is is just show name. she is, you see, like, she likes finding little irregularities or little things that are wrong and then poking at them because that's, that generates buzz and money and everything else. even even though he's still voting Democrat every second election.

but it's it's interesting because real much like other people that have sort of remained where they were. But the Overton Window has moved, that he is starting to be seen more as a, you know, like he's not welcome in the Democratic club anymore. Right? Because he dares point out when they're wrong. Right, exactly. And when he was on The View during an interview, not the whole thing, but I did see the clips.

One of him telling Joy Bahar, who admitted that while you have five criticisms of Joe Biden, I don't say that. And you're like, well, this is why you lose credibility.

Because you're not being honest and you are intent, you know, that intentionally pulling your criticism as a media figure of one party's candidate in this case for the election, I mean, it shows that you are biased and you are not willing to be honest and have that discussion to say, okay, you know what, I don't like this about Trump, but I also don't like this about Biden. I don't understand why people feel like they have to treat their guy as a, it's a sports team.

That's why I guess, you know, and that's all it's turned into. And then the thing with Sunny Hostin who's like, you have no idea what's going on in Israel, sweetie. And Bill Maher, this is the interesting part because I saw a blurb about Malcolm Blaylock, you know, from Big Bang Theory. And, and jeopardy. Now I guess that was like, you know I am a dyed in the wool liberal big time liberal will always be a liberal. But as a Jewish person I'm having a really hard time being a liberal.

What did you call her a Jewish person. No no no. Her name Mylan Blaylock too. I mean, it's mayhem. It's like mayhem. Mayhem. I think it's mayhem, ma'am. Ma'am. Blake, ma'am. And, Yeah, it's, I don't know you. I couldn't tell who the hell you're talking about until I realized. Oh, you mean yes, ma'am. Yeah. Yeah. I'm no good with names. No, no, you're one of them anti-Semites. Clearly. Obviously. Because I have a problem speaking. Yes.

I mean, people have been called anti-Semitic for a lot less at this point. So. But for a lot more. It's, all a name pointing kind of a thing. But when you're like, it's. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely been the Hitler thing. Yeah. You know, where, like, calling anybody you disagree with Hitler doesn't just make you look stupid, but it also invalidates Hitler's actual, negative qualities. Right?

You keep comparing Hitler to normal people, and pretty much everyone's like, well, yeah, there's just like that guy, right? Yeah. You're like Hitler. No. So bad. He was pretty good, actually, by comparison. Exactly. And then, dude, I'm I'm gonna say it as a joke, but, you know, it's almost not a joke when I can well, imagine in the next couple of years in school curriculum, the word Holocaust will be used only in the context of Palestinians, I believe.

Like that's the Holocaust that we've experienced as humans on the planet Earth, and pointing to it as this big negative thing when, when, Israel was attacking for a little, Palestinians. Right. Oh, yeah. We gotta go after the perpetrators. That's an interesting thing. When they, they the more.

Yeah. I mean I swear to God if we need more people in office that are not pussies in order to have some kind of difference between, like what is a overreaction and what is not an overreaction, because if I was there, I would just nuke the place that would have been over and done with 100% dead. It does take care of the problem. It takes care of the problem. I was and that was a lot of countries.

Frankly, there's no point in waving around and having your people die, and you don't nuke other people that have nukes, obviously, but you sure as hell start nuking people who don't have nukes. That's the point of having nukes is you get to use them. America understood this. Did the US need to duke Japan in World War Two, when the war is already wrapping up and over in them with no, absolutely not.

But somebody made a decision that said, you know, I don't really care if this gives Japanese people they're worthless. but it's going to save a few American lives that may end up getting killed during the final invasion. Yeah. Let's Nukem. And if they have more nukes, they probably will drop into. Well, they built to the point is to take care of an issue when it comes up. And when we're talking in the most extreme, when you're going to have nuclear bombing.

But the same thing can be said when you see this stuff creeping in, like you start seeing the DGI stuff in these things, going through the education system in America, the whole like, oh, well, let's work with this. It's like, no, when the bad shit starts, you need to eradicate it. Not like with terrorist. You're not going to go in and negotiate. You're not like, well, this part you can negotiate as long as you've got a gun behind your back. True. And you're like, here's what's going to happen.

Yeah. No, we'll give you everything you want here. Just you step over there and pick it up. It's all waiting for you right there. Yeah, one more foot. And I don't understand the people that will choose political party. And this is what's happening with a lot of Jewish people. You mean like libertarians? Well, the Jewish people that are liberals who are like, well, I really hate all this antisemitic stuff.

But, you know, I would never vote for Trump because, you know, even though my party, this is what they're I would never vote for Trump. And my parents had a couple that was really good friends of theirs. The guy was in a concentration camp. and she asked him, why do the Jewish people continue to vote for Democrat? He only passed away a couple of years ago. And he's like, because they see themselves as Democrats first and Jews second.

And that just is so bizarre to me because I would think as far as you I mean, I don't think it's actually true. I think it's a it's something certainly you could have said a few years ago. And this is funny because there's not the E because there was no reason to have any difference between Democrats and Jews.

When Democrats are actively supporting people that aren't just verbally condemning Jews, not just Israelis, but Jews, because remember, they're funny Arabs that live in Israel, and they could be saying the word Israel every time they say Jew or, you know, really focusing on the fact. But but if they did that, then they're painting with a very broad brush, which includes people who are not Jewish, because the population of Israel is a very diverse population.

It's the only country in the middle East that that is fairly pro-gay. It's the it's a country that has Arabs. It has, Africans, it has Jews, it has Europeans. It's got a lot of people there that are not Middle Easterners. And, and also it has a lot of people that are Middle Easterners. But, you know, it's just, it's it's when Israel starts getting blamed for something. All the people who actually hate Jews cry out of the woodwork.

And I hear people normally that would have opinions but tend to keep them to themselves. all you gotta do is read comments, read comments on YouTube videos, read comments on pretty much anything of the kind of nation and it's almost impossible right now, to see comments on a political channel or politically related show. I mean, you know, dog videos don't have those comments or. Right?

Yeah. But anything that's politically related, you're almost guaranteed to start running into a Jewish conspiracy comment thread. Oh yeah. It's because the Jews, you know, they, they actually control, all the governments of the world, and they're all trying to fuck the white people. you like these people didn't develop these opinions right now, these are long held beliefs that most likely wearing draining into them by their parents.

Because how do you pick stuff like that up unless you hear it when you're young, right. and, you know, they were just kind of taught that. Yeah. You don't really say things like that, but now it's the opportunity to say it, kind of like, you know, during World War Two, people weren't being particularly watching what they say to Japanese people or Chinese people for that matter. Anybody with slanty eyes tended to get very negative

commentary associated with them. Yeah. Anybody that looked like their genetic makeup, that may put them in a category. Yeah. And it's like it's bad enough people were harassing Japanese, but like Chinese and Filipino, everybody else on the same bucket, just because they have a resemblance to Japanese in terms of their eyes and their facial features and, you know, skin color.

And, we went so far as to, you know, pass laws that literally put people in a concentration camp based on what they looked like. Yeah, because of rampant fear, which can you imagine if we go back to and let's just assume everything else is the same, even though I know that is a really false, concept, but can you imagine if you would have had the internet back when World War Two was going on and the, the people could have gone and, and spread the vile stuff the way they are now.

I mean, this I don't think a lot of people even understand how much the internet has changed the way people think. One, because the kooks have a much bigger soapbox. They are legitimized. I think. I, I somewhat disagree, but somewhat agree with that. I here's what happened is without the internet, like the percentage of kooks hasn't, I don't think really changed much snow and it's probably under 1%. Right.

But the kooks can all like grouped together now, even without physically living in the same place. So like, you know, if furries, when I have a meet up, you're kind of stuck with the people that actually live in the surrounding area. And that's as many furries as you're going to be able to meet up with. But when you're talking about groups that aren't into actual physical objects, like, you know, and for people who don't know what furries are looking up, online, I don't know, it's more fun.

Yeah. I was wondering if it was worse to be in the furry or the, the Texas clan. Or maybe there's a furry Texas clan. There could be, no, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't, but, Yeah.

So as a result, the, people that have ideological similarities that may be very different from most people can all connect up and then all of a sudden it doesn't look like there's so few of them because like, oh, holy shit, there's a thousand people all that share the same common interest that everybody else thinks is crazy. But you all have a bulletin board and websites and chat things and everything else. And obviously a Reddit section. So you have to have a subreddit, yeah. Everything.

Everything you can possibly imagine. There's a subreddit for, well, what's the. So everything is amplified, which back in the day, if there was a protest, you know what? It was only people that were local. Now, I think people still are blind to the fact that when you have these protests in Washington, that 95% of the people are coming in from everyone. But yeah, I'm so yeah. And it's not just watching. It's literally every protest is actually fake right now.

There are no actual protests going on. Everything is a coordinated plan. The effort that is seething and then the majority of the people at the protests are basically just people wandering by and going, hey, what's going on? Well, what's happening here? Oh, we're protesting to make people bigger. you know, bigger homes or we're protesting to have free food. Oh, that sounds like a good idea. Cool. And then they just hang out there for a while, you know, this is not.

This is what's annoying to me, too, because, constantly amongst people that, you know, have a predilection to think Jews around the world and they're evil.

everybody that thinks like that after the college protests started kept saying, oh, yeah, well, it's horrible. We're losing our First Amendment rights. All these governors are going in and breaking up these peaceful protests right? I'm like, dude, yeah, you're literally a white version of BLM. There's a zero difference between people who think that these college protests were legitimate and peaceful, and people that were supporting the Black Lives Matter protests, no difference whatsoever.

It's the same mentality. It's literally the same tactics. And frankly, it's funded by the exact same groups. Yeah. And the only difference is the color of a lot of the people that are like their skin that are walking around. Not like there weren't white people in the BLM protests. There are more whites and blacks. Yeah. Yeah, there's absolutely more whites. And that's and just like in these there more whites that I've never heard of Middle East countries and couldn't pick them on the map.

But whereas in BLM you have black people minority with a bunch of white people here. You had a few Middle Eastern people with a bunch of white people, right? Yeah. It's the same fucking thing. But yeah, I mean, if in Bill Ma's world, Hillary Clinton never denied an election. So of course, yes, your worldview is different. And a lot of these people are like, what? The Palestinians never did anything to the Jews, you know, there. Yeah, the Palestinians never did anything.

And the United States never, expanded NATO. Exactly. Yeah. Both of those. It's like, you don't know, Palestinians, Ukrainians, kind of you know, I understand it's very hard because most people have no idea if you're Bill Clinton, we wouldn't have Palestinians right now. We would just have Israel. Well Bill was very busy in the white House with Monica. Yeah. Well, you couldn't be bothered because she had much better things to do. Yeah, this is it. The worldview of people.

Even though you are living in the time where we have the greatest access to information, as much as I hate the term misinformation, it's out there. There are. You know what? What you just said could have literally been said 2000 years ago by a guy standing on the corner in Rome and talking about, we're living in the greatest age in the history of mankind, and you people are squandering it. Yes, this is also true. Also true.

But people think they they confuse having the information as having knowledge and believing that what their device spits out is the truth rather than even contemplating for a minute that it might be the greatest propaganda machine in the history of mankind. Yeah, absolutely. it's it's very personalized propaganda. Well, this is what makes it effective. Yeah. There's zero question about that, which is part of all of this data mining and why it is evil and how they know exactly how to yeah.

How to be. And incidentally, before moves off topic, I can pile plenty on on Israel two. Oh, there's tons wrong with the Israeli government and they're frankly, Israelis. I'm not a big fan of Israelis. you know, I've met a few decent ones. I met plenty of not so decent ones. The, the reality is that, painting everybody with a broad brush, you tend to be covering up a lot of individual differences and making everything the exact same color. Yeah, that's that's definitely the case.

And are there people that are in the, the West Bank that are just trying to get by and, you know, sell products, make money and have no political issues and aren't trying to bomb somebody absolutely. Unfortunately, there's not enough of them to of change the form of government they have from one that officially supports the bombing of people. Right. So, yeah, it's it with this phrase a lot over many topics, which is every country has the government.

They deserve real well, when somebody is born, if they're Jewish, they're neither good nor bad because that they're Jewish if they're Palestinian, same thing. But the stories that you hear are that if you are born Palestinian, 95% of Palestinian families teach the kids from day one. Jews are bad. Well, it's indoctrination, but like we have the exact same thing in this country right here. The problem's a little different because not the parents teaching them.

It's that American parents are perfectly happy outsourcing education of their children for 18 years. Oh, yeah, they checked out. They let the and they completely checked out with education. And therefore nobody ought to be surprised that what's coming into college out of high school are braindead drones that are extremely susceptible to fascistic ideas and are chanting, anything that a professor tells them to chant.

and given what we know about most professors, because there have been plenty of surveys that have indicated how one sided they are, they're usually a little bit to the left of Stalin. Right. And these are the people that Americans have entrusted with their children. And and then, oh my God, why, why, why are my kids acting this way? Because you don't give a shit about them. That's why. Because you you decided that it's somebody else's responsibility to teach your kids.

You believed Hillary Clinton when she said 20 years ago. It takes a village. Congratulations. Now, your kids are the products of a village. Yeah, they're they've all become village idiots because you're not vetting the people that you're entrusting their education with. And we go back to the early 1970s. The thing I point out, it seems like every month or so, which is go read the Weather Underground manifesto declares and others. Yeah, it just talks exactly how to do this shit.

Yeah. And they did. I mean, to do it. They understood. Oh, you know what? Okay. The media and the education system, those are the places we need to control. And they were wrong. It took a long time. So decades. But seeing the fruits of that now and there's no turning people back a lot of times when they've been indoctrinated. This is like when you when you hear stories of somebody that's in a cult

and you're like, well, how could they be so stupid? Or how could they not understand what they're doing? It's like indoctrination. Yeah, people fall into it. And once you get to that point, it's really hard to pull people out and you've got. Yeah, the why they were kids are that turning on their parents. Oh, all kids are turning in their parents. That's a natural thing. These people leverage that to get them to turn on their parents.

things that are ideologically, socialist versus, you know, capitalist. It's a real, I think a lot of people made the mistake of thinking that the fall of the Soviet Union was the end of communism, and that is just a false notion. It was the end of communism in the Soviet Union, not in the world. And it was certainly not the fall of American communism, which it was always burbling underneath. burbling. Is that a word? Something like that. Something like.

That's a bubbling, I don't know, it's it's, combining bubbling with something else, but essentially it's always been there. And it's over the years has come up a number of times, including in the 1930s, where, frankly, socialists ran this country. and in the 1950s, when we had the, the and the big anti-communist movement, the McCarthy thing. Yeah. Which was now the interesting methods may not have been great, but the, the actual desire for it was absolutely, on point. Well, here's you, right.

What I find interesting now, even when I was growing up, which is going to grade school and, you know, through high school was the 70s and 80s, the whole McCarthyism thing was taught that this dude was crazy and he was looking for commies where they weren't. And I'm thinking, well, I bet you there was a ton of commies. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people that absolutely were supporters of communism, they, they, they were decrying the fact that somebody was noticing this and pointing it out.

Yeah. I don't know, there's something like, oh, yeah, these poor people in Hollywood, that, were blacklisted in the 90s. Yeah. For any reason. Yeah. They were doing that because they were promoting communism. That's why they're. I wish we would still have blacklisting of people in Hollywood because Hollywood is full of kooks. If you would be in the trial room, you. So I cotton gin saying I rarely agree with Gene, but that was a great summary.

yeah. Well, I'm sorry, I, I, I wasn't intending for you to agree with I. No, I that's when people start agreeing with G. And I start thinking about shutting the show down. It's time that. Yeah, exactly. This is getting dangerous now. Well it's I this is a number of years back, when Adam, played a clip of Putin's speech. no agenda. I, I texted him right after that, and I'm like, well, my job's done. I guess I'm moving on. You got the right. We got the, indoctrination moved into this girl.

He clicked in. All right, now everybody's on the same page. Good. you job here is done. Now you just have to go buy another virtual spaceship and fly away. Exactly, exactly. So I want to tell you about a fucking typical government experience I just had. Real. And unfortunately, I'm going to continue to have. So I recently had a birthday, so I had to get a new photo for my driver's license taken.

Oh, well, happy birthday Gene. Yeah. And, you know, I got a letter in the mail saying, yeah, you got to actually come in to renew your license because it's been ten years since we took your photo, blah, blah, blah, and, and says, oh, and you can schedule an appointment. So it's convenient. And I thought, okay, so, you know, when it's my birthday, I wasn't going to do this early. What am I, crazy? Yeah. And well, DMV and where do you go to?

I know I'm like, this is a cool new DMV that I wasn't expecting. You know, this is good. So I get online with their link and I click on set an appointment. And can you guess when the earliest appointment in Austin is like a month later? Oh no no no no no. September. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. September is the earliest appointment I can send in Austin to get. Come in to get my driver's license renewed, which is already expired, of course. Yeah, yeah. And so I'm like, well, this is bullshit.

So what do I do? So, you know, there's actually a little link there. It says, oh, would you want to check surrounding cities? I'm like, okay. So that and lo and behold, I found that there's a city, called Taylor, Texas, about an hour away from me. Yeah, owned by Taylor Swift. Exactly. And, it's got, it's got an opening. I'm like, perfect. I it's a long drive, but I'll get it over and done with and don't have to fuck around because, yeah, I'm also going on a trip next week.

so incidentally, we're going to be, missing a show next week, for air people, because, I'll be traveling. and so it'd be nice to have a driver's license when I travel. I was gonna say, can you get on an airplane with an expired driver? I'm renting a car. That would be nice to have a driver. Yeah, okay. You're not getting a car without a valid driver. Yeah, that might be a problem. So, consequently, I drove up there and, you know, so this is an hour long drive when you drove up there.

Of course, with somebody else driving because your license is expired. Sure, if you prefer. And and so I pull up park and I notice the parking lots kind of empty. And I walk up to the building. And on the building there's a handwritten sign and an eight by 11 sheet of paper and it says, sorry, closed power outage. I'm like, They apparently no one bothered turning off the set. An appointment for today. Or maybe that's the only reason there were appointments today, right?

Is because they had a power outage and nobody was actually working. And so I was like, well, son of a bitch. And, by the time I was driving back from my not accomplishing anything, there was already traffic. So I basically spent half a day on this little, boondoggle that accomplished absolutely nothing. And I still have to do that again and find another city to drive to on Monday. It is crazy. I will only add insult to injury. Because, my license was due again this year.

As the, the guy that has in December, this was four years ago, they were like oh go ahead, just renew it. We don't need you to come in right. Yeah. Same thing. Just send the money. They send me in the license. Well it's it's once a decade. Here's how often you have to come in. The interesting thing is you have to bring your passport when you come in for a driver's license. Or if you don't have one, then you can bring a birth certificate. Your old license.

And being in the system with your face is not a no. Not enough. Nope, that's not fun. Now. Well, how do you keep the illegals out? They don't. Well, we do in Texas. We just, you know, we ship them off to Chicago. This is true. Yeah. You're welcome. By the way, you said the Venezuelans here, they said the, Hondurans over to New York.

So whatever works. Yeah, it's whoever has a neighborhood, you know, that's where we send them. Yeah. I was amazed, though, that I just got the. Oh, renew your license again, like, okay. Yeah. It's, Do they not realize a blind man should not have a license? I heard that I could probably pass with just the one. I mean, there's people that drive with one or. No, I mean, oh, my God, it's my dad's one of those. Yeah, I told you, my dad's got very similar issues to you.

Yeah, with his eyes, except he's, like, in his 80s. You know, you might have some restrictions, but like, you say, drive. But he has a license right now and I don't I. Well, you can pick you up from the airport that he did offer. I'm like, God damn it, I got a rental car for a reason. I don't want him behind the wheel right. Well, and, and I yeah, basically, I, I've got a few days before I fly out to see him and it's like, shit, I gotta get a license before that happens.

You need. Otherwise I'm gonna have a blind man driving me. You need to find a DMV that'll, get you through the line. All I need is a receipt. That's all I give a shit about. I mean, I don't care if I have the physical license, because it's like I'll have the the old one, but I need a receipt to show them saying yes, it's been renewed. Correct? Yeah. So if anyone has one of those receipts that it can help you know where to contact me. Jean will pay. He will give you a virtual spaceship.

Oh, I'm not promising to break the law at all. I'm just saying, if you got a receipt, let me know. I, tell you, the government is working as it should. I still don't have somebody in the trailer mentioned. It's this the new, what do they call the new I.D.s? Because I don't have a real ID. Yeah, I don't have a real ID with me. Yeah, I can't get on it. Was it now, will it be requiring a real I.D. to fly anywhere? As of right now, in fact, yeah. This is that.

When I bought the airplane tickets, it said you have to have a real I.D. license. You're like, damn. Like, what's that going to do real? Well, it's an it's basically an antique California bill, because what it's saying is you have to have a driver's license that also if proof of also is proof of citizenship. Gotcha. Because the California is fully within their rights to give licenses to anybody the state deems can get a license.

However, the real ID is a federal law, and California cannot break a federal law by providing real IDs to people that aren't citizens and they still won't check them. And what I love is all these idiot Republicans that for a decade or more now, have been yappin, oh don't wait, real ID zero. This is a bad thing. We don't want we don't want the government, the government to have the ability to, give us licenses that actually prove anything. The driver's license just meant for a car.

Yes, that's what it was made for. But clearly it is utilized as proof of identity at this point. So I am so frustrated right now. I'm frustrated with the fucking Republicans for not doing a goddamn thing for 30 years. And I'm frustrated. although not surprised, but still frustrated with the Libertarian Party that basically picked an AJ Antifa dude over Trump. Well, yeah. I'm like, dude, can you try harder to kill off the party, please? Because that's exactly what they did.

Anybody that considered them selves and would have mentioned even in passing, oh, I'm, you know, I'm a small libertarian. They're not going to do that anymore. Ever. That the identity with the libertarians is over and done with. I will never say, you know, I fucking ran for office as a libertarian. I will never say that I am or have been a libertarian because that party is a joke. Well, all the parties are pretty and that one just caught up. That was one of the few it was.

No, it's it's it was always teetering, man. It's always been teetering on a joke. And frankly, people of my generation worked really hard by running and winning, elections in order to get the party from a joke like the Green Party to an actual minority party status, you have to have gotten 5%. I think it's five.

Maybe it's higher, but at least 5% of the votes in a whole bunch of races for the party to automatically be included on the ballot, because if you don't like, then you're treated just like the and can they? You're not officially on the ballot. And we fucking worked hard back then and back then. I mean in the 80s, 90s to achieve that. And for what? So that the current generation of people in the Libertarian Party can vote for somebody who's clearly not a, libertarian in terms of principles.

Fuck that shit, man. Fuck them. Fuck libertarians, fuck the Republicans way. Fuck the Democrats. But you know, I don't have to say like, it's obvious it's been the case forever. But there's literally nobody that there's nobody in the US. in politics right now that deserves a vote. Now it's all just one scam or another. Yeah, it totally is. And you know, Trump will be sitting in prison by the time the elections roll around. So that'll be interesting. He's never going to prison.

They're they're going to have they are pushing for four years. That's never good. We for years is no parole. But. Oh yeah. And everybody said oh you realize there's no way they're going to convict him. No, no, I always thought they were going to he I guarantee you he's going to be in prison. No, I want my money. How much you want to bet? You got to click. How much is a virtual spaceship? We can bet one. They're expensive, man. What? Depends on if we have all the air conditioning.

Yes, that's true. The ones without air conditioning are all the cheaper from everything that you can buy. At least that, I gather. From what went on in that trial, there was enough judicial misconduct or things that just. Yeah, did have you seen what the Court of Appeals looks like for black women? It's for black women. Well which one? It's the highest court in New York. So assuming this is the that's the second step. Which one though, just said that. Oh yeah. The Weinstein's trial that was bad.

We were letting we're taking this out. We're that overturned the Weinstein verdict. there was one of the top court in New York did that. I'm assuming it's not the next step that Trump has to go through, but probably

the second step, which is whatever the however many steps it takes to get to the highest court, I'm assuming there in New York, you got what he just went through. Then you have the appellate courts, and then you probably have the New York Supreme Court. Right? That's I'm assuming that's the steps that you have. And maybe that was the appellate court you're talking about. The New York Supreme Court may be different. The one that overturned the Weinstein thing.

If not, it'll get to the main Supreme Court in the land. But I think this was all about one thing. I don't believe they ever thought they were going to get Donald Trump in jail. I don't, but what this is, is having the ammo to go out and say he's convicted. He's a convicted felon. That's all they wanted. Even if it gets overturned tomorrow, he's going to have to announce that he's a sexual predator everywhere he moves. No. Well, it wasn't that without a doubt anyway.

Well yeah, he he lost to the $30 million verdict, for raping that, old chick. Right. The one that couldn't tell you what year it happened. Exactly. Yeah. I always believed the people that say somebody did something 40 years ago and they can't tell you where, They can't tell you when. Yeah. You should always believe. Well, you should just always believe. Women in general. Unless they're the, What's the woman that said Joe Biden raped her at the, Oh, no, she was lying.

Yeah, of course she was lying. Yeah, I can't if it's against Joe Biden, that it's a lie. If it's against Donald Trump, it's obviously true. Yeah, but I think this just shows the United States is in banana republic territory at this point. Lutely. And as I point, I thought it was interesting because Bill O'Reilly yesterday had the same thought that I did. I think he right unrelenting months ago.

That said, if Joe Biden really wanted to confuse everybody and probably guarantee himself the next election, he would come out and say, I am pardoning Donald Trump for all previous. And I thought of that as well. I thought of that as well. I think that would be hilarious. And it would certainly make him look very redeemable to a lot of the Democrats. They're having doubts right now there.

Well, see, now that we knew there was something we liked about old Joe, he's just, he's just a really nice guy who sees that punishing an old man that's roughly his own age and clearly isn't meant to be president would be evil. And so he's decided to pardon. Yes. And make you the big man. I mean, how bizarre. If you have the power to say. Yeah, I start wiping this away, I'm going to pardon the guy who's trying to kill me. Yeah. It's like, this is you probably get elected again.

Yeah. Indisputable. I mean, he's going to get elected again no matter what happens. There's no. I've been saying this for four years. If Trump runs, he will lose. Whether the, do you think the actual votes he loses or what we see election. The only thing that matters votes don't matter. I I'm that's another thing I'm sick of hearing people like, keep talking about we're going to vote him in.

You can't you don't have the power to vote anybody in the votes that they should stop doing this because it's it's pretend votes.

Popular votes for the president don't matter. They've never mattered. They still don't matter. They don't count. That's not how we elect the president. Right. And people without spending like it matters are idiots. My question is not that. It's if there is no cheating. Does Donald Trump have the votes to win? If everything is on the up and up with our current system, forget. Well, if we're going to play make believe. Well, I know because there's always going to be cheating.

The only question is who's going to be a better cheating group this year? This is very much like I said, it was better in the last 60 years. The Democrats, the Democrat. Very good. You think things are going to change? I think the Republicans are going to start learning how to cheat it. No. We have a Trump that's running the RNC now. I mean, his daughter's running the RNC. So maybe maybe they're going to start learning how to cheat. Yeah. Well it'll take him a few years to learn how to do it.

Oh, it's not that hard to learn. It is it is hard to learn how to do it and get everybody to deny that you're doing it all at once. Well, that's the beauty of it. Which is. No, no, this is completely on the up and up. But there are always extra boxes that are sealed with tape of votes in every election that come in. Well after midnight, and they're all for 99% for the candidate that we like. Oh yeah.

It's all, it's every time this happens the guy that's like way ahead when you go to sleep at midnight on Election Day by the next morning is always losing it just to make it fair. That's exactly how we got, JFK. See, it was all Chicago. Chicago, baby. Thanks to Sinatra. Thanks to us. MGM powder, thanks to the votes being bought. But there's a difference between votes being bought and cheating electronically, which I still think is a little bit harder. I don't think there's any difference.

It's Soros paid for both times. Right. But I think it's easier to buy the votes than it is to do the, The only difference is you can buy them wholesale. Now, of course, but here's the buy them from the machines instead of from the people. The. Well, I think there's little that's still a little bit harder in the last election. The Zucker Bucks definitely made a dent in the result I think. Because it went to areas that were right on the precipice of you just knew you needed to push one slightly.

We weren't talking about millions of votes and most of these places you're talking about a fairly small amount of votes. Yeah. If you got guys like Elon Musk, the guy that Sequoia or whatever, Sequoia was at some company, some I after the verdict yesterday, he was like, I'm donating 300,000 to Donald Trump. 300 million. Was it 300 million? How was it? I think was 300 million? I thought it was 300,000. Either way, it is a lot of money.

Why would they even mention 300,000? That's not a lot of money. She's like, I you see what I spent? It's like one. Yeah, exactly. It's nothing. Exactly. Either way, if you got somebody like Elon Musk, if you if the Republicans have what the Democrats did the last time in Elon Musk, if the Republicans have their version of that that's willing to they don't they might. Nope. They might. Nope. I mean, you would come out I mean, you get with those spaceships, you sold a few spaceships.

You can make a difference, gene. I could get us to Mars. The people that might be. We going to run for president on Mars? that. Well, we'd be challenged by Elon Musk for sure, but, Yeah, it's. I just don't see it. Dude, I think what we have is we have a corrupt party, and the weak party, and half the population is in one and half the populations in the other. Yes. And we're realizing that a lot of this is just an illusion.

And this is another reason, I think, why the anger level is higher than it has been in the past. On both sides, I mean the absolute just if that's the only good thing, honestly, it's the only good thing about what happened in Israel. It's the only good thing about what's happening in the US is it maybe, just maybe it'll shake some people awake and make them realize that their passivity has brought this on.

And I think anybody that is not making 500,000 plus as a family, I think the grocery bill and what you're paying for your electricity, especially now that summer's here and the air conditioners are kicking on. Yeah, I think a lot of people are going to look at this and go, from every number that I'm reading. It's by 40% higher what people are paying than when, Trump left office. Oh yeah.

So if you were normally spending, you know, $10,000 a year for groceries, you're now up to 14 or 15,000 Trump. So yeah. Plus, of course it's all Trump's fault. He's he left Biden with the economy falling down don't you know. Yeah. No he set it up on purpose for it to fall down right after he left office because he was trying not to leave office.

So this was his like mechanism that he set up before leaving, that if he ever left and didn't become God for life, that he would crash the economy for whoever comes in there. So Biden's actually done a great job in, dealing with what what Trump left them, Joe, is what you hear on CNN. Yeah, he's a mastermind. He has an economics professor level mastermind. I mean, you have to admit, he said a lot more political education than Trump has while he's been in office a lot longer the years.

Yeah. Today, I don't know what time, but he is meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs today, so that should be big for Joe Biden. Yeah, maybe he'll take a knee. He might. It'll be interesting. Will he talk to the, kicker? The guy that was very Catholic. You'd probably be like, hey, asshole. It's like when there's when you're looking at this Joe Biden know the view? Yeah. It was like, this is really a case of good versus evil.

And I'm Bill O'Reilly said this and I agree he's like Joe Biden and Joe Biden are on the record being fine with aborting a baby who is five minutes from being born. Yeah. Totally fine with it. It's like oh you want to talk good versus evil. Yeah. It's like if that's not evil I don't know what is. And people can argue abortion all you want and you have no voice in this matter. It's a woman's choice I know. And let's identify as a woman that you better listen. Yes. Then. Exactly.

If you identify as a woman, you are a woman. And you know what they say. Believe all women. This is true. Well. And you can change too. It's fluid. So I could identify as a woman, make the point and then identify as a man once again. Yeah. And then ignore the woman. That's exactly right. that's how it all works out. identify as what? It's like that if you're talking good versus evil, it's like Biden.

You ain't got nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm the good side. I love watching those videos of, men on the street or the kids and protest that somebody films where, you know, some clearly average looking white dude to start talking to him in these, these, and it is always an average looking white is and and it is because that's who does these videos and then these gaggle of girls because they're never alone.

You you never see a young woman alone that's always in the gaggle, are like, yeah, well, you know, you know, you're just, straight white guy. And then the the part that I love in these, these. And the guy says, we did you just call me a guy? I'm a woman. And then then he, like, you, could see the the short circuiting of the girls brains because now they don't know what to do because they're they've been so indoctrinated with this idea that anyone who says they're a woman is a woman, right?

That to argue with this guy is going to be going against what their professors say. True. But the alternative is apologizing to this clearly dude who they called the dude and assumed he's straight and and said, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to gender you, my bad. And that makes them look bad. And there's nothing that a woman hates more than admitting that she was wrong. So yeah. Well, let's say. Yeah, this is exactly. I brought a it's a fun video to, Planet Rage this week.

If I can pimp that show. yeah. Yeah, pimp it up. That's your, clip show where you actually do about ten minutes of work and play about an hour's worth clips. We do. We do a lot of playing it. Clips. See, I know this because I occasionally listen. Yeah, I don't know. There was one where a dude, it had to be in a zoom meeting. So it was a zoom meeting of a group, you know, that was for like female, overweight, female or something. And it was a dude that was skinny.

And they're like, like, what are you doing here? and he's like, I identify as 275 pounds and queer, you know, it's like, yeah, yeah, well, no, this is and they told him like, this is only for actual fat bodied people. And it's like, well, that's not the way your system supposed to work. Exactly. It's like, I can't believe you're you're acting like a Donald Trump here, right? It was for queer, overweight people. And he's like, no, I identify as 275 pounds.

I didn't see the guy, so he was fairly skinny, which would make the bed even better. Exactly. But they were like well we don't understand what you're doing. It's I do not understand. I noticed this like 15 years ago when I was on chatting with somebody or posting something online and probably had all the fans basically, I mean, it was like a group for like people that like redheads and, Ginger, which I do.

I've always liked redheads and, and then, you know, somebody clearly was a fake redhead, like a bottle, you know, bleach blond, but a redhead. That's horrible. It is horrible. That's. I mean, you get credit for trying, but ultimately you're not a redhead. And then I made the grievous mistake of of clarifying that I. I like real redheads and, oh, my God, did I hear such a huge laugh of, female indignation coming through? I was like, what do you mean, real redheads?

Hey, I'm I'm a redhead just as much as any other redhead. because I've chosen to put the stuff in my hair and it's like, no, that's not the case. I might, I might like I like actual women, not pretend women. I like actual redheads, not pretend redheads. I can you make you this case exactly with the you. That's exactly what I'd said. Yeah, because it's like, dude, don't tell me what I like and what I don't like. I think I'm the only one that can judge that.

And there's a big difference between somebody that is pretending and somebody who's actually something is. It's just an oddity that we've gone so far from a society where changing one's appearance is mainly things like that, to where we are now. Yeah, well, good luck fighting the. There aren't redheads anymore. They're blue heads. There's a lot of bizarre colors. Yeah, I think you. Blue. Blue took the longest. Yeah, we had red and green back in the 80s in the punk movement.

I remember that, like, the green dyes had already come out. Yes. And they was usually in a mohawk. Yeah, yeah. a really poor attempt at one time. but the blue seemed to have taken forever for a hair dye. I don't know why. Because we had blue dyes and blue paint, like, forever. So it was probably toxic to humans. Probably. And nothing changed. They just removed the Texas sea level right? Like, oh, it's it'll be fine. It won't suck your brains right after. There's no brain.

If you're pulling on blue hair, there's no brain to worry about. You're good. You're good to go. You'll be fine. That's like. But you could just say you are whatever you want. And how dare anybody. And you've always been able to say you are whatever you are. The difference is they're trying to enforce other people believing it well and using the pronoun that you want. This the concept that you can pass a law, that is, if you miss somebody, that you could get a ticket or go to jail.

It's like you're nuts. It's what they're pushing for, but it's what it shows how far society has gone down. The the rabbit hole that. Yeah. No, I have to force you to do that. It's like, what does everybody have to wear? Nametags that are like, well, my preferred pronoun, which of course, that people like you would, I would walk around with the tags on the to say my preferred pronoun is. It would be like, go fuck yourself. Well, you would do that. Mine's always been lauded, master.

My, that's my to pronounce it. Do people really, adhere to that when you meet? That's a good way to get them to not interact with your truth. But it's the perfect thing for the introvert that is out and about. Real? Yeah. Feel free to copy that. and then, send us a video and see what people do, go into one of those, protests with people are going crazy. It'd be like, look. And what I love is they start to say things like, well, duh, those are real pronouns.

And then when they is a real pronoun for a singular individual. Okay. Yeah, yeah. What's beyond just that? There's three and the. Oh, yeah, there's there's zir and Z and I'm like, crap. Yeah. It's like nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about. Yeah. And people don't understand what the point of a pronoun is. The point of a pronoun is you don't know the person's name. That's when you use the pronoun real. It's like, that thing that's really described as a female.

Well, that's who I'm referring to. It's for not having to constantly use somebody's name, which is also weird, like of, hey, I was like, somebody's saying, yeah, so the gene did this and that, gene did this.

You could just say he. That's fine. I mean, you I'm okay with you saying Gene two. That's fine. But most people it's like that to you if you're reading, you know, using your preferred pronouns just for your name, does that work? Oh, see, that's even better. Yeah. Then they always have to use your name. And that way, if they call you anything else. Yeah, I throw throwing a pronoun up. They have to use your name better for branding that way.

Or better yet, just use my last name, which she can't pronounce. Yeah, exactly. Oh, no, you're just insulted me by not my misgendering. Me right there. Right? You did not say my name correctly. Yes, my pronouns directly. I will take this as a slight and we will not go out. And I will file appropriate paperwork with the U.S government. Well, this is it. The government will eventually get there.

But right now this is happening on college campuses, which is the absolute absolutely gets kicked out of college for misgendering a professor, or anybody. I mean, there was a professor that just won his, court case against the school because he was like, fuck you. I'm not doing this pronoun thing. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, I think you you should be encouraged to create mental illnesses that excuse you from that. Like, you know, if you have, Tourette's.

Tourette's, for example, you could just use the pronoun fucking for everything. We'll see. The Tourette's people are going to be the ones in jail when they pass the laws. Other stuff, because they're like, why I can't not do what you're telling me to do? Yeah, that's the thing, right? Because that they're a minority group that you got to remember, minority privilege is how you get out of jail. It's not by being right or doing something that's legal.

It's by having the right combination of privilege. True. Oh, I had so two things that I wanted to bring up. One is I heard a great term, which was a, that I forgot that I need to remember, but it was a term. It was a term for this is why people tune into the show. Gee, I know, I know, it's something very important that's super important. I want to make sure I bring it up. And I thought I was hilarious term. It was a term for basically white liberal women. but it the acronym for it was an insult.

And that's, it was a, it was like, like a rich white liberal something, something. But the acronym was I'll, I'll, I'll try and remember it before the in the show is it was pretty damn funny. When do you have to me to get a lot of this stuff? I've been rewatching entourage now, and there's a lot of things in that show that they could not be made to. They were. And that was, you know, that long ago, that was what, like 20 years. Yeah. When it started 23. Yeah. Believe it or not, it's amazing.

The, there was that one scene where the old guy, which was, an old studio guy, that they were three, and he and he were all going to the same place, and they're like, you want to ride with us? And he looked at Ari's car, which was amazing. Yeah. He's like, I ain't getting in that Nazi sled. I'm like, I've never oh, yeah, BMW called a Nazi sled before. yeah. Well, yeah, I've been around Jews enough, I guess. Well, I mean, I knew the, the Mercedes story, but I wasn't.

BMW was right there too, because that's part. Oh, yeah, that part of VW is BMW is. No, they're not related, but VW was also part of the whole, issue, wasn't it, with the, in Germany back in the day. The issue with the in Germany back is that we're trying it now. The issue. Yeah. That's like the troubles in Ireland. The issue. Yes. That the, the the weight loss in Ireland, that happened in Irish history, the potato famine, the weight loss, you know, weight loss thing.

Yeah. The problem, the problem they had in Germany with that guy, there was a guy with a bad mustache. I don't think they had a problem with them, though. They elected them. They were kind of happy with them for a while. Yeah, for quite a while. So he had Donald Trump. He was a populist. That's just like that. Exactly. Like just like that to me. Donald also wrote a book, that. Oh my God. Yeah. That just means they're exactly like they also wrote a book, Mein Kampf the Art of the deal.

Really? I mean, if you. Well, it's just part of the deal in Germany. I think it is. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This is what's the hard hitting stuff people come to the show for. Yeah. So the second thing to mention is I got, a little bit of, of, I don't know what to even call it of a whole bunch of people sending me, telling me I'm wrong on X. What do you call it? Yeah. When you're wrong on X one. the Noah gentleman millennial wants to know if it was a fluent white female liberal, which spells awful.

Well, I it might. Yes, that's exactly what. See? There you go. Somebody already knows that this is why the. I laugh at that. I thought it was a whole Arius. Awful. Yeah. The awful, the, Yeah. The. No, the millennial he does that memo show with John J. Do. Isn't that the guy, man? Is it? There's a G. That's one of the other. It's the memo show though, is it? Yeah. Okay. I never heard of the millennial media offensive. you know, why am I getting old now?

I know, c sorry you're getting old now. It's funny, it's funny. You know, the alphas are coming. Not what are the alphas? The after the Gen Z's. Well, I guess after Z has to come a. Yeah, yeah. So it's going to be the f generation Philadelphus, but they're all going to be betas. They're probably, you imagine being part of the beta generation officially. I mean, like, I don't have enough going to get oh great fucking virus. Yeah. No, I just thought it was bad to be Gen X.

Yeah. Nam says, but you'll always be older. So there's that has, That's true. That is very true. Well, you don't know. Gene has these therapies that he does technically physical Aids. He's like, for now. yeah. Yeah. Mentally it's that's a whole different thing. Yeah. He has to drink the blood. vampire bats or something like that. Vampire bats. It's a weird thing. I mean, they're only. Yeah, technically, the bats don't actually age. Really? why do they die? accidents. Interesting.

otherwise, they'd live forever if they weren't accident prone. Yeah, exactly. Exactly right. The more you learn, they have a. Yeah, they're, they're also impervious to the vast majority of, viral diseases, I guess. Yeah. That was why getting bitten by a bat is not a good thing, because they're carriers for a lot of stuff because they don't, you know, they don't get sick from it because normally it's part of the control mechanisms that, wait, wait, we, we give no medical advice here, but. Right.

This is why eating bats in a wet market in Wuhan might be not a good idea, because, part of the the control mechanism for this, for the viruses is the mortality rate. So when a population has a high mortality rate, that particular virus can't get out very far, right? This is why the, Ebola, is controlled for the most part because it tends to kill off people that are infected.

And, so that right, that means fewer people will get infected from that person because they're already dead unless they're eating them. And when you have just another case against cannibalism. Right. But, when you have species that are immune to certain diseases, it doesn't mean that they can't be carriers and they can have the the virus or even the real, bacteria in them. They're just not damaged by it.

But long term, they can have them in them and so they can pass it on to others if consumed or if, if they bite somebody and and then that species can and may end up getting infected. So it's you need to be a little more wary of animals with really good immune systems, because they could be they're more likely to be carriers for something that makes a certain amount of sense. Yeah. This is not I still think bats are cruel.

Yeah. No. And they don't mean like to eat maybe I think they're cool animals. I, I watch Australian flying Fox videos on a regular basis. They're constantly having to be rescued from like hitting the fence or falling, you know, falling off of power lines or something. And, they're super cute until they bite you and give you the disease. And until that happens. Yeah, because they're like, they're not sick, but they just happen to have that in them.

what have you seen, videos of, Australian, flying like this? I have not, but I'm surprised you don't have a few as pets. I know I would totally have them as pets. I don't know if I'm allowed to have them as pets here in the US, because they're. I don't believe that they're allowed to be exported from Australia. I mean, he's going to ask permission for this. Come on. Yeah they are. Wait wait wait wait. Is this okay? Everybody, we've been doing the show for, what, three years now or so?

this is the first thing you don't have a guy for. You don't have in Australia. No rare animal guy I don't have in this room. No, he he had hidden inside of his, heart with a puncture wound. They from down under. If you know a guy, if you tell a guy that's 70, some of them, Australian flying foxes, then Gene's house will be the life of the party from now on. A they're super cute, man. If you look at these things, they just look like they're cartoon stuffed animals. They're they're deadly.

They're not necessarily. I mean, they're very cute. They live about 45 years, so they're, and they're immortal at the same time, which is pretty cool. They're good for pets because you don't have to replace them all the time. You don't know. Nope, nope, nope. The same, same reason. Snakes. Yeah. My snakes are live to 40, so your snakes gonna outlive you. So there you go. Well, I mean, to be fair, one of them now is 22 years old. okay. And I don't know if people realize.

I mean, I may have one of the oldest living snakes in captivity because people tend to get rid of snakes as they get aged out. But not you. Not me. Nope. I have a whole house around them. When I have a pet, it's there to stay. He jacks. I have two levels. That's right. Everything for their comfort. Get nice heat. If you like the. There you go. This is where you want to be at Jean's house.

Yeah. Well then they're not really African but sure, I was just building a theater of the mind for I see, I see anyway so I mentioned the Twitter thing, so I, you know, occasionally do a little posting now and then and there is a, comment that I saw, by, by Lauren Southern talking about Leonardo DiCaprio dating younger women. Oh, I saw this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so, you know, doing a little shitposting as I occasionally might, I said, oh, well, now that Lauren's no longer hot, looks like she's jealous. Not a good look. And, Lauren, retweeted that, and, the army of Sims descended. Oh, they. So she retweeted it. Not because she thought it was funny, but instead. Oh, so. Oh, no, I'm sure she was insulted by it because, you know, I called her not hot. Then how dare I call somebody who is no longer young and now has had a kid and it's divorced. Not hot.

All right. How dare I do that? It's horrible. And so I started getting, like, every five minutes, my phone going off that I had, more and more replies coming in and, and it was like, what kind of insanity are you to think that Lauren's not hot? and, just, I'd say 95% men, white, needing coming in to defend or Lauren

from being insulted by being called not hot. Oh, what a what an evil person I am for calling somebody not hot who's, incidentally, supposed to have been in the past a conservative reporter. Not and OnlyFans model. Not a porn star, not even an actress, but a reporter. How dare I call her not hot. This is why she brought down the wrath of her followers upon you. Yes, yes she did. Exactly. And, so I you know, these are all people.

I obviously don't know me from anybody and don't follow me, but that all felt like they had to tell me what an idiot I am for thinking that Lauren isn't hot. It's just a weird world we live in. Well it's interesting. I actually thought it was a fun experience because I maybe have had that once happen once before. Generally, I, I don't really interact with the simp communities. Well, you sure they might be a big fan base for sure. Jean speaks. If I was a a female. Yeah, probably.

But given that Simps are 100% male, 100% don't get laid and 100% are going to be white knighting for some chick and that they will never have a chance in the real, never in a million years. And they are, only doing that for one chick at a time. That's the other thing that I find hilarious. These are basically, you know, very well not not just one sided, but they're they're basically, what what's a what's the word? what's the word when you when you're only with one person all the time.

Oh that's right. It's a hard word to remember anyway. No. Meaning one. Yes. Yes. And Gammy meaning sex. Yeah. so it's it is a they're going to have one chick that they pick to be monogamous with in their pretend relationship online, and they're going to then defend her honor at every opportunity that they see her getting slighted.

Now, the reality is, was I actually misread her tweet and so I did I should post comment inappropriately because she actually wasn't the one saying she, but I didn't notice it. She was replying to somebody that thought that Leo dating 18 year olds was cringing is it's not. It's very natural for rich man to date young women and for a young woman to look for a payday. Yes, absolutely. That's literally the oldest profession in the book.

So I wasn't even familiar with who Lauren Southern was, but she is a libertarian. So there's that for, is that which is kind of now she used to be the darling of the right. She was a, And she was I like, I really enjoyed the stuff that she did with, she's a Canadian that she did with that Canadian conservative, YouTube channel thing. What are they called? I can't remember what they're called, but, Rebel Media, that's the one. Yeah. Rebel media, it's like when she.

In her Rebel Media days, she did a lot of very funny reporting where she had, like, feces thrown at her and all kinds of stuff by being, like, outwardly, you know, conservative talking at a protest of a bunch of, hippie liberals. so but again, did I talk about her politics that I talk about anything that has anything to do with it other than looks? No. And and by the way, is is it a, an opinion or is it a universal truth of whether somebody has hot opinion?

Totally 100,000 parade. Right. So I, I express an opinion which frankly, I think is a legitimate opinion, given that she's in their 30s now and had a kid that she is no longer hot. And I get, all these messages from people telling me how, I am so objectively wrong. I mean, it's funny. It is, I, I chose to not engage with anyone.

I don't need to have a debate on the hotness of somebody on X. but I'm certainly gonna state my opinion on the hotness of somebody on X. And the other day, I mean, this the concept, what you're seeing here in a much smaller, although obviously large enough group is what's going on. I'm sure she's got all, you know, hundreds of thousands of followers. She's not like a small time follower person. Yeah, right.

But if you went out there and said the same thing about, you know, that pop singer and I said it plenty of times about that pop singer, and she has a flat butt, and now she looks fat. Well, yeah. Hot. Yeah. People are suggesting that maybe maybe she's got something in the oven. They are. Yeah. But, also there are plenty people now bashing the people, suggesting that I know, which is what a what a horrible person you are. Women's.

You know, bodies can have different shapes at different times of the month, and it doesn't automatically mean a guy just implanted an unwanted chin in there. It's just bizarre that people will go to war on behalf. Now, if somebody said something about somebody in my family and somebody said something you know, horribly vile about, maybe you like that, you know, I might jump in like, oh, you know, fuck you and go, but it's like, why would you even care for some random journalist?

Because they have a a relationship with that person that is literally unknown to the person. Right. Well, this is it. You. They think they have a relationship with them. Yeah. Yeah. That is the oddity for anybody that puts any part of their life out there as it's literally a cult.

It's it's a cult like phenomenon because this is what happens when you insult the leader of Scientology is you have a bunch of Scientologists tell you how evil and wrong and wicked and stupid you are, and then threaten to see you. You know, it's just weird. You know, even as a podcaster, I'm the people that listen to that, then think that they know you even though you never interacted with them at all.

Though there's a lot of people I interact with, like my buddy Deji Guru, who's in the troll room right now, that you go back and forth with, that's a completely different thing. But, you know, there are people that listen to Rogan who have never had any communication with them that are like, oh, I know Joe, because I listen to him. Yeah, yeah, exactly. X hours a day, whatever it is. Yeah. But they are willing to go. Yeah, I know Michael Mouse man. We shop at the same grocery store.

Well, that wouldn't surprise me at just. No, we do I mean, I've, I've talked to them in the grocery store,

but it doesn't mean I know him just because I've talked to the dude you, like, have Gene. You want to go? Yeah. I'll say mouse House. Yo, malice. Let come see my snake. He's like, is that what you kids are going to do these days? Yeah, he is short, man. People don't realize just how short he is. A lot of people in, entertainment are short. Yeah. That's why it's a, it's an oddity. That's you have somebody that is large which is fun.

And a lot of the old interviews with Adam Curry and various people, it's like, you know, they're standing on boxes. Absolutely. Or you have to sit down and you have to do something to be the great equalizer. Well I would make him kneel frankly if I was doing the interview. Let it be right on the same. You'd be either way. Yeah, yeah. Is there. Why would I have to stand on the box when I can make him kneel? That's easier. Especially since you're Lord and master. That's right.

Yes. Those are my pronouns. Thank you. You must use that. But this interview is over. yeah, but this is also a part of what the social media thing has changed is people that, It's bizarre because for a while there was a very weird phenomenon probably still going around when people consider, like, you know, their Facebook friends as friends, that, yeah. Did you ever meet this person in real life? nope.

Well, then you're not really friends because you don't know if they are where they say they are. If they are the sex that they say they are, if they're the way they say they are. Yeah, but like, you can communicate with somebody without physically being there. Yeah. You get to know somebody pretty damn well. True. But you wouldn't know any of those things. Meaning you're being catfished. I mean, for years. I mean, at some point it becomes more work than it's worth to catfish. Well, no, not now.

Now that you have the ability to just do a video call and change your appearance and voice on the fly. Yeah, I, I don't know. I, I've got a, a sister buddy that I play video games with that we originally met through playing online video games 20 years ago and have pretty much been playing video games ever since.

But, he just celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary, and I went out to his wedding, which was the first time that we'd met in person after, like, spending tons of time talking, voice comms while playing video games while you were at I definitely I definitely consider him a friend, but beyond that, you're you were in battle together. We were and still are. Lots of times we were flying spaceships together. Memories. How does Darren know he's not being catfished right now?

I mean, I always assume I am at any time. That's a safe bet. Any place. You know, I don't consider my podcast friends to be friends. I don't even like the people I podcast with. Except Larry. Yeah, but why Larry and Gene? It's a bitch. Is there anybody else? No. no. No, no, it's, I again, you know, our podcast started after we were just talking for an hour on the phone and I said, you know, we should, we should do a podcast. And miraculously, right after I said that, well, no, wait, what?

You said this podcast, but like you said, it's up. Rose. That was what you said. Hey, hey, hey, hey. We can slip. You're much too good for Ben Rose. You really had to be with a different, first, right? This is exactly what you told me. yeah. You could do better. Amazing how things happen like that. Totally randomly. And then all of a sudden. Oh, let's. Looks like you and Ben Rose. no, I you didn't pocket. Oh, you need somebody to come in and fill in for him? Oh, no. I might have time.

I don't know, maybe people have noticed that you do not see Harry, hamster and Sir Gene in the same place at the same time. What's a hairy hamster? Exactly? I don't know what that is. He's the guy in the troll room. Oh, I don't I haven't been in the troll room because I was banned. Like, perma banned like five years ago. So I would know you should try coming back in. I think the ban was finally lifted. I doubt it in the back. Right. You know, lifetime bans are not lifted after five years.

Member of says talking at an hour for an hour on the phone is no big accomplishment because Darren could hang up and Jean would still be talking for 000. Burn like, pot kettle, both of you. It's like I've never done it. But I know with both that I have a pretty good chance that if I wanted to go to the bathroom during a show. Yeah, you could. And that's called a benefit. A verb near a podcast, like. Yeah. Oh, hose. Because my, my other co-host, the plug just to get old boys.

But yes, Ben, he always ends up to ask me something just as I got up to get another tea or something. He has that like that ability. Like he will talk quite a bit about a topic, but right as soon as I get up off the chair and put down the headphones because, you know, I ran out of tea or something,

is that's the moment he's going to choose to say, right? Right. Exactly like that. Damn it, dude, keep talking that you can just you can sense it if somebody's walking away like it's a game. Yeah. Now, if you want to play that game, it could be entertaining. But also if then if you really as, we do that if you go I mean, you never really want to say. Oh, what do you think, Gene?

It's usually you leave a pause and if you don't get that filled up, you're just assuming that you should keep going for whatever reason. Well, a professional certainly would do that. Yes. Yeah. You don't want to leave the dead air, you know, you don't want to leave like a minute and 30s of dead air and then you're like, yeah, what's going on? Where were you? What do you mean, sorry? Oh, I left, I had to come. That is true, I believe. Let me ask you about a pet peeves thing. Okay? Do you hate it?

Peeves? Do you hate it when people say right? Like interspersed in the middle of normal speech? Yes. They're not actually asking for an opinion, but they have this, like, almost a tic like thing that makes them say, right? And, there's a YouTuber dude that does that, that there's a comment that I saw that somebody posted. It's like, no love watching and blah blah, blah. But for the sake of God, can you just stop saying, right all the time?

Well, and the guy's response was, hey, if you don't like the way I talk, don't come here, don't watch this video, don't listen to me, don't subscribe and don't give him money. I'm like, whew, that's a harsh response. And then I had to chime in. At that point, of course, I said, well, like, don't please don't believe them. I mean, it's obviously a medical condition, right?

He has no control over being able to say whether he, you know, when he says, right, he's probably got a mild form of Tourette's and insulting people for their mental handicaps is not quite right. So and I haven't seen the response yet, but I'm sure there's going to be a response to that post. It is becoming very prevalent in language, and I wouldn't doubt that I do it as well. There's things that the language, even though you're aware of it and you try not to, it kind of sneaks in.

It's very strange because this is something that is relatively new within the last few years, which I don't know if it's because a lot more things. What's new is putting right into, as a placeholder. It's no different than the like of the 1980s. Correct. Or, and, a lot of people still use the ums. It's like they feel like they have to say something. I'm getting better at the UMS, but they're still there. I think I've reduced them.

Well, I don't have my individual ums, but I know that, editing just to good old boys. The last episode had about 300 drums. Oh, was this a contest to see which one has. No. I wish it was. That's not in there. No. It's just I use software to, you know, to remove the ums, you know, but that number has shrunk to about 300 per episode, so I'm probably around 150 each from us. Or I assume we're barely even. Maybe I have fewer ums than when there's.

But when we first started doing the podcast, it was around 600. So it's improving. It's improving. But 600 UMS for a two hour episode. So 300 UMS per hour is seems like a lot. Yes, I been cutting a few of those out. Probably not a bad idea. I I'd like to get that number under 100. I don't need to get it to zero. But if exactly is an episode that only has 100 ums, I'll be a happy camper. And that was the intriguing thing when it first popped.

I haven't looked recently with Adobe Premiere, which allows you to do the transcription, which allows you to highlight those filler words and ums. So I've now paid for a half a year of Adobe and never even installed it. Yep, there you go. You should get it styled. But I don't think there's a way, as far as I know. Yeah, I was to look again because things change when they update these things, but I think there was you could remove the ums or you could leave the ums.

And neither one of those is a perfect solution, because if you remove them all, then you're probably making it sound a little too edited. I like your idea of I want to remove this percentage of them. I might want to remove my ideas to stop saying them. Well, of course, but when you're editing to, you know, slowly kind of wean off. Yeah, but the words that are thrown in like, right are one. I think people want a instant satisfaction of like, will you agree with that?

Even though they're not going to stop and wait? There's two ways to interpret that. So there's an LP way which is near a linguistic programing, which is that you're actually conditioning when you use words like, right, so you're not saying right as a question because you're not sure of yourself, you're saying, right, in order to reinforce whatever it is that you're talking about, because you're not giving the person a chance to answer that question. But but you're forcing them

subconsciously to say, right, every time you say right. So they're associating the fact that you are correct simply by listening to your speech without even thinking about whether you're correct or not. and the other way, even if they're not responding. Yeah. So they think just saying the word right, they feel like, okay. Yeah, this is great. Right. Let's do this. Right, right. I must be right, I mean, right, I associate being right with, Ryan Membros. I don't know what left, left, left.

What is what's also that's even better for people that have a problem. And you say, right, you don't want to physically try to make yourself say left to the left. Yeah, exactly. So now, Jean, I was really looking at this issue and I think I came up with this reason, the left and that right. Perfect. Just start throw with left that that would be hilarious if somebody started doing that, that I might just start doing. There's a short there's something that's right.

You want to do a TikTok short that I'm going to take it off right to left? that would be funny. I'll have do it the other way too. So that's if somebody actually understands NLP, they're doing it on purpose. If the other way to interpret that is the more traditional way, which is the person is subconsciously expressing doubt in their own opinion and is searching for validation and therefore constantly asking it right, right. And they're expecting somebody to nod while they're listening to you.

You said it. It's it's really whatever topic they're discussing. They're lack of not even necessarily conviction, but they're like their lack of, knowledge of the topic that they're expressing subconsciously. So they're literally the opposite things, the two interpretations. But I think both can be valid. Probably not at the same time, but it does in either circumstance. I just see it just as bad as the Valley girl.

Like. True. It's just a word thrown in that has very little meaning to the context. And I'm curious, it's just filler. It's a filler word. It's a filler word. And I don't think anybody would argue that people are also speaking faster. And I want to know is this because people are listening to podcasts and things like that at a higher rate of speed? Is it because people are trying to fit more content into a little 62nd? clip for the internet?

Why all of a sudden is the rate of speech going up, up and up as well? Because it seems to be a lot more common now to run into people that are doing the Ben Shapiro kind of talk as it was 5 or 10 years ago, right. It could be a lot of coffee vemos. Absolutely true if you're getting a little jittery.

Yeah, and I do I have to stop drinking espressos because I noticed I bought some week ago and I noticed like the first one is fine, but if I drink an espresso every morning for three days, I start getting headaches. Interesting. I never get headaches. Like, cumulative. It's like, is it? I think so when does the headache hit? When you start coming off the caffeine, the. No no, it's it doesn't seem to be tied to that at all. It just like, like I never have headaches for years.

I don't have headaches. I very rarely have ever had headaches in general, even when I was younger. But I've literally not have them for years. And, I got when I was coming back from Adam trees rewiring. I stopped at a gas station to get a, one of those espresso shots. so I would fall asleep for espresso shots. Nothing better. People. Well, there's Starbucks there in the refrigerator. In the little cam. Yeah. Gotcha. They're very good. They're super tasty.

Anyway, so I did that, and it reminded me of how tasty they are. So I'm like, oh, I should order some. I should have. So three the next shopping trip, I got like an eight pack of them and and I'm not like slamming a whole bunch of them. I'm still like, okay, I'm only gonna drink like one in the morning and then maybe one around dinnertime and that's it. And, just doing that for three days in a row made me wake up with a headache.

Lucy, waking up with the headache would mean you're coming down off. Yeah. Yes, I guess you're right. But, like, drinking it didn't fix the headache. Oh, see, that's an oddity. Until, well, until a couple hours later. And then I thought, okay, well, I mean, I'm going to stop this. I paused a few days, no headaches, and I thought, well, maybe it was just a fluke. So I once again had, an espresso. And then, I think one the next day I had a couple of, next day had another one and another headache.

I'm like, oh, son of a bitch. So apparently now I've gotten to that state in my life where I can no longer drink caffeine with no effect. Is a net net and cotton gin, say, make real espresso. I mean, I wonder what's in the canned stuff there might be. It's real espresso. Yeah. If you if you haven't had one of these, you know, what you're talking about is there something add other any other chemicals added to the, you know, shelf life going up?

I mean, there could be something else in there that's caused. That could be. But I've had these things for 30 years. Yeah, but you're old now. But I'm old now. Exactly the problem. And and. Okay, well fair enough. Point to the person to make a real one. I could I actually haven't used by an espresso machine. I have a really nice Italian high pressure espresso machine too. At home. Well, the stakes are enjoying it. I'm sure. No, I've been making tea with it.

So it's a complete waste of, of of the machine. But I could make a homemade, espresso. Just for science and then have one in the morning and see if I get the headache. I suspect I will. I'm sure it's not the anything weird. It probably is the caffeine. Most likely because I also don't drink soda. So I'm not getting any caffeine other than what's in tea, which has some caffeine, but not a lot. That was it. The espresso in cream. Was that the one? Yeah, yeah, it is a premium espresso beverage.

It's like a $2 two ounce thing. you know, it's, it's $3. It's a great scam. I can we didn't get it out of this. It's really tasty. I don't think it's a scam. I would much rather buy one of those little two ounce deals than to buy a full, you know, 12 ounce can of coffee. It is best served chilled or over ice. Yeah, it's it's the way you want to.

Just over freezing level like 34 degrees is perfect for it. So use your espresso refrigerator for those. Yeah. And there is a sucralose and absolute fame. something in it. Some good to here. I can make this larger. Yeah. I was going to say get blind man reading the label. I'm a can. That's tiny. I know of this. That's on the, the the screen, of course, a for a acesulfame potassium and sucralose are added with the cream. Yeah. The sucralose is the sweetener.

And the other one is the preservative. We'll see the conservatives. Those are no good for you. I mean, they're not. Yeah, but they're okay. Although the like now I've noticed the last two times because I was figuring that and I still think they made a. Yeah ingredient change because we were going to the shawarma place. I told you how much I love the shawarma you did. Now it's setting off migraines. Really? Yeah. So I'm thinking maybe they started using MSG in something.

Although I had, you know, I don't know what the hell you were eating. Dude, I'm reading the label on the actual can that I have in here. Ingredients. Brewed espresso, coffee made of water and coffee. Reduced fat. Milk, sugar, cream, skim milk. That's it. No reserve. I was the one that was on Amazon. There may be different versions called a Starbucks product out of China. No, it's Starbucks, it's a Starbucks store. It's the same on wall Walmart, the Starbucks store.

Well, I'm I'm reading the actual the Walmart does have, interestingly enough, Walmart. The can says what you say Amazon maybe they just switched the it looks like the same cam with different ingredients. Yeah. With that because this stuff say the espresso juice, fast milk, sugar cream, skim milk where it doesn't have the preservative and it doesn't see this uses sugar rather than sucralose. And maybe there's one that is a sugar free version as well.

I know they have a low calorie version that must be the one I look, but I would yeah, I would, I would never go low. Cal, baby. Fuck that shit, man. This is body made. I know what you're getting. If you get the low calorie hard, right. The chemicals in the low cal stuff, you're way better and sugar will kill you. But you're way better having a little bit of sugar than the chemicals that are in the sugar free stuff. Well, yeah, it's, sugar is definitely not good for diabetics like me.

However, the amount is also good. You're getting headaches, you know. Yeah, I does. Your sugar go way up when you have the espresso? No. Does the little machine go beep beep beep beep. It just goes up a little bit. You're you're about right on the noise is the machine to Jesus Christ. And it's like, Jesus, you're going to die. Yeah. It's annoying. I have to keep upping when it beeps the sugar thing because it's annoying.

You're like, I'm fine, but you know, if I'm sitting here eating a fucking dairy Queen, I think I know that my sugar is going up, okay? You don't have to tell me. The machine's like, damn it, try this small next time. You don't need the extra, extra large for. You know what? The biggest surprise for me was when I first plugged in the, the continuous blood monitor thing. and by plug it, I mean you just slap it on your skin.

is rice because I had sushi, which, you know, it's fish with on top of rice and my blood sugar. Shut up. Like, higher than if I just say that ice cream. I was like, Holy shit, rice is bad. Yeah, white rice is. Apparently white rice is like pure sugar. Yeah, it's going to get there, you know. That's what it's going to. It's a starch.

But it happens apparently extremely quickly because, the effect from rice and I've done it a number of times, probably like a dozen times now where I've watched it as right after eating sushi, the, blood sugar just spiked straight up, which you don't get with a lot of other foods. Like, I could eat a sandwich with bread and it's a gradual increase. And then, you know, a fairly quick decrease with rice. It's the opposite. It's like a really fast increase.

And then the gradual decrease in blood sugar. So rice is not good. And it's too bad because I like Asian food. And the Asian food tends to use a lot of rice. Yeah. I mean I have the spicy rice in my shwarma bowl and it was so delicious. Now the time in between because like you I will put myself through the well let's see, let's make sure you know because there are coincidental reasons why you'd have migraines. And between the two steak shawarma bowls I had a chicken shawarma bowl.

No fucking headache. No, no. so it's MSD. That's what I'm guessing because you. Oh I guarantee you it's MSD. it's. So you think they seasoned the steak differently than the chicken? Absolutely. Which would make sense. Yep. And they probably didn't use it when they first opened the place. And now have changed because I ate there a bunch of times. It were like this. It's like it's easier to make chicken tastes good than to make steak tastes good.

And if they're having, like if they bought some cheap, rancid meat, that's nothing like MSG to make it taste better. Everybody get some cheap, rancid meat right here. Well, you you don't think restaurants continuously do that? Oh, I'm sure they do. Yeah. And the chicken stuff's just as good. So I will try the chicken one again or I, I will tell you I ordered a lot of ethnic like slow food and, I pretty much went to chicken only I used to order a lot of other like clockwork is really good.

But, at this point, I've just. If I order something Middle Eastern, it's going to be chicken. And it is good. I like the chicken stuff. Yeah, they did a good job. I probably, I probably I'd say a third of my meals that I eat are coming from, a lot of places. So, you know, I think I wasn't even aware that they used a lot of the MSG. Then again, back in the day before I realized, I mean, Chinese food gets the rap, right? So that's because it's a standard ingredient.

That's that's on tables in China, kind of like salt is here. But I didn't even realize that there's a lot of Italian restaurants that will use it. There is a lot of it that, who goes into it's unfortunate that you've got an allergy to it because MSG can definitely make foods tastes really good.

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, like I said, delicious. Yeah. It's just about to be depending on, the dosage and everything else. I mean, the only time I had it immediately was eating at a Polish place where they had the best G. Yeah. Oh, my. Had the sausages or whatever it was. That's crazy. I wouldn't think that a Polish place would use MSG. No. And that was the only time it was CSB. What the hell, man? I know normally it's like, well, it'll be an hour or two afterwards.

And then the little vision thing starts and all sorts of fun stuff. So I try to avoid it as well as I can, as you should. And it's horrible when it's like it's something you like. It's like, can you not? And then I called up the one Chinese place that opened up that my, my, my parents house, and they went to like, oh, this place is great. And they're like, they say they can do anything without MSG. So I called up the one day and I'm like, hey, so do you make your food without that msg?

Oh yeah, we can make anything without MSG. And I said I was about to hang up and I'm like, does that mean the appetizers to well no, no, the appetizers are pre-made. And I'm like, well okay, fuck you. You would. Somebody calls and asked if your food could be done without MSG. And you say of course. And then me like, well can you get your appetizer soups. And that was one. No no. Those are pre-made and they have probably a mystery in them. It's like well that's not MSG free.

and it is, it's a, it's a shame there are people that still want to argue like the MSG thing that's good for you. It do it, it's fine. And it's good for you. Oh, not me personally. Right. Well this is it. And that's what people don't understand. It's like most people peanuts. I eat peanut butter, I love it. Some people have some peanut butter. They're going to die. Well, yeah. I'm like zoomers. Yeah. People that have the calories. Well, because they were it because it was the.

Yeah, they we've had a, a bioweapon, utilize in the American population that is now created a whole bunch of, peanut allergy. I blame Jimmy Carter, man. Yeah, he's a good guy to blame. the one that he's still alive is honestly peanut butter. I think I still have a jar somewhere in the cupboard. Never really goes bad. well, yeah, it's a fat, so it's long as you keep it out of oxygen. Didn't go bad, but the, I used to really like it when I was a kid.

And I've tried a number of times as an adult, a, an older person at this point, I just don't think it's all that good, man. I don't know, Sam. I like to, as a kid. Have you tried the natural stuff? You know, the better stuff? Because you may just like. You mean from Whole Foods? Well, beyond Whole Foods, there is. You know, Smucker's makes. So everybody got foods. What? Everybody's got nothing but whole Foods.

But he's got an organic version, which is, you know, the stuff that the oils give us separate from the peanut butter. Oh, yeah. That's horrible. well, this is why in a lot of people, what you really liked about the peanut butter that we had as a kid, would you look at the ingredients? Super processed. Yeah. And sugar. There's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like 50% sugar. It's like wonder. It was great. You could eat it with a spoon because it had both salt and sugar.

It was like, this is awesome. I still do that now with a little bit it the nice Fuji apple cut up a little bit of peanut butter to dip it into. Yeah. Yeah yeah. Know that's good stuff I remember that. But I will honestly say I don't think I actually would enjoy it if I had that right now. It all depends how hungry you are. Well, yeah, of course. Everything depends on how hungry you're. I'm just saying that one for me, given the choice of different foods.

Right. Peanut butter is not high on my list. Like, Elvis was eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches when he was doing a lot of drugs. So maybe. Oh yeah, I'm white bread and then not only was it the peanut butter and banana sandwich, a lot of people don't realize Elvis ate them. Fried like a grilled cheese. Oh, man. It wasn't like he just put peanut butter and banana on white bread. And that ate it. No, you slather that with butter and put it in the pan.

Oh, everything tastes better fried. Oh, damn. So I found a new restaurant in here. Let me pull it up in Austin. that is, by the way, it's my past orders. And don't forget, a fried baloney sandwich. Those is bad. That is for you. There's something about a little fried baloney with a little cheddar or American cheese. like a grilled, roll. Oh, yeah. Everything is better. Okay, so. So the last place I ate was Halal Brothers. And then before that, Ajanta Indian and fireball.

Okay. Melt down. That's the place. So the melt down is a sandwich shop where it's only grilled sandwiches. It's a great idea, right. So it's a I'm going to send you a link to this. If anybody's in Austin, check out the melt down. They may be a chain for all I know. I don't know if there's a bunch of these all over the country or not, and that's a great name too. It's like, check out the meltdown. But every sandwich is basically made on crispy butter fried white bread. So healthy.

Well not at all. However it is tasty. they the I don't know if that link works for you. If it does say now the name of a direct Uber Eats thing with a little, personalized link. Can I order it for you? Yeah, you should order it for me. Yes, that would be. Appreciate it. actually, that that wouldn't be appreciate because they've got my card up right now, so you can just order food for me and I pay for it right? Yeah, it's a win win. It's totally down and just like, like it.

But they do have one, two for one deal right now. See? There you go. Which is on a sausage, bacon, the ham, scrambled eggs and American cheese on a grilled artisan bun. Sounds delightful. We know what you're having. I'm not having that. But I have had that, and it's pretty damn good. You know, it's at just the right amount of dry, crisp bread. We're still soft on the inside, but crispy on the outside. Yes.

Well, once I realize that the toaster is large enough to put two slices of bread in together so only the outsides get toasted in the inside, does the fact that toasted bread shit, you've got to fry it. Fried bread. Then fry that bread. Don't forget, Jean is on, the road next week, so no one relenting on Friday. Yep, yep. Unfortunately, traveling.
