126: Hefty Hardware

Believe me, I know this because I sell spaceships. Of any company you. Hello, and welcome to episode number 126 of unrelenting for August 23rd, 2024. I am Darren O'Neill is Dean of Trulieve, and we are ready for a lip smacking good time. Or something, are we? I think so, she sounds like that excited. I'm excited enough you were. Well, you probably stayed up late to watch Kamala. So you're excited. You're all jazzed. You're ready for the Harris presidency. I got my liquid death right here.

Ready to go. We're not sponsored by them. We should be. Or giggle. I was drinking that a lot. I you're I'm I'm a traditionalist, dude. I'm just having a Starbucks double espresso. That's a traditionalist. I thought it was iced tea for you. That's all right. I'm. I'll have tea the entirety of the way, but right now, just, wake up a little bit. I'm having one of these Starbucks, just taking things into gear. Let's see what I've been up. Espresso. I've been up for three hours.

How long have you been up? Three minutes. Somewhere around there? Yeah, about 30. Like I got to get the show in to Friday. It's been a long week of hard work, and I want to point out that on the last episode, we were thrilled with the amount of support that we got. Not a usual not a penny for this. That always happens. That's literally how it happens. Yeah. Hundreds of dollars on the last episode. And then it's like nothing. Not a penny. Not even a Satoshi that I saw that since the last show.

Nothing. I'm sure it's somebody other than the Satoshi. Yeah. Because only you can make it go pupu. Yeah or not.

That's the way it works sometimes in the value for value podcast land, which is still the only argument I will have with the value for value proposition. And I know the pod father and Jake, they like to make fun of the people that are over on Patreon and doing stuff like that. But I see a few people on Patreon that are doing pretty well, and I haven't noticed a drop off due to Biden inflation.

As much as I have noticed the drop off in Noah and other value for value podcast, including everyone that I do well now. Okay, you're talking about the system I was going to say, but keep in mind that like 99% of the funds don't generally receive this in U.S. dollars, not Satoshis. No, I understand that. I'm not talking about Satoshis. I'm talking about doing the value for value thing rather than the people that do the premium model, which we have talked about in the past.

You know that your buddy, the pool man, does it. A lot of other shows do it where you get, hey, that's the first hour of our show, and if you like that, go subscribe. And it seems that the people watching and that's a little annoying, I will say horrible. Yeah, yeah, it's it's annoying. Until you subscribe and then you don't care.

Exactly. Exactly. But the thing that I've noticed is that those that have subscribed and are getting some thing in return for their funds, yeah, like more show are willing to keep the funds going out where the people that get the whole show no matter what. I'm more than willing to say, fuck you. I'm not giving you a penny because I can't afford it right now. Rightfully so. I don't think that's true. and I say that based on the nations community, just to grow old boys,

we don't use Patreon. We use the the automated rebuilding system that's part of Buzzsprout, which is the hosting company. But they're not getting anything extra for going. They're not getting. So I'm not talking necessarily about Patreon. I'm talking about anybody that is doing a concept where if you're not subscribed, is that you don't get it. My point is that I think you're assuming the difference is that people like getting bonus stuff. And I'm saying I don't think that's it.

I think the difference is an automatic renewal. Whether you're getting bonus stuff or not doesn't matter. It's the fact that it builds you every month. Now totally disagree. And if you set the amount to be sufficiently low enough, in our case, $5, people stay on for like six, eight, ten months. I can believe that. I mean, sir Fudge Fountain is still giving a 289 monthly or something to grumpy old bands. We haven't done a show in like two months, you know?

But overall, what I'm seeing from the folks that do you know who tell them, Steve. Dave, who are these podcasts? The ones that give you the content only if you have a subscription, have a higher subscription base that has not dipped with the Biden inflation.

Because, again, I think when you go, hey, it's very easy if you have a recurring donation to just the good old boy, just to good old boy, sorry, dot com, or if you have a recurring donation to unrelenting, or if you have a recurring donation to No Agenda. And, you know, if I stop that recurring donation, then I still keep getting the content. That is way different than I really like listening to. Who are these podcasts?

And I know if I stop giving them money, I no longer get to listen to the shows. Then I think the people are less likely to pull their funds. So it's very it's an interesting thing to look because it's like, I think those people value the shows at a higher rate because they know if they don't pay, they don't get it. And value for value works. And it works a way better for shows with a million plus listeners than shows with five 10,000 listeners.

Well, yeah, but but there is still the aspect that if you're simply paying a subscription or to get something that you wouldn't get if you didn't pay, you're a lot more likely to stop paying for it. If you step watching or listening. Well, of course, whereas if you've got a donation you're sending for somebody that you like that because you're getting the content free anyway. So the only reason they're sending a donation is because you like it, then you're less likely to pull that.

I disagree, I think I've been listening for Tim Poole for two years. I watched an episode in six months. You're an anomaly now. I'm not. I'm very time I there were a lot of people that don't watch the show that still pay money because they like the message. You are just the common gene guy with, let's see. Caviar guy, boat guy. well, the guy to get you into Russia. Guy. I mean, there's so many guys, so many guy I mean, I know that's just a travel fit.

They're all named Gene. They're all genes doing all different last names. Very weird. It's just that, Yeah, exactly. When you all get together at the Gene coalition, you go to the gene pool. Yeah. We have an annual meeting, called eugenics. It's, pretty cool. Oh, yeah. He has a spaceship guide to see Brooklyn. You're right. Spaceship. Yeah, yeah, I am the spaceship. Hey, you are a spaceship, gene. I see you standing like the, remember Superman from the original television series.

You know, at the beginning of the opening of that, where he's standing with his hands on his hips?

That's how I pictured Gene doing the show. Now, which version? That would be the, the Christopher Reeves or the, like, the 1950s. What was that guy? Yeah. was it was it still Reeve? was it something? Reeve I don't remember. well, I but it was the classic black and white television series. I remember watching those over and over again as a kid. That was some good stuff. it was quality entertainment. Adventures of Superman. And it starred George Reeves. And then Lois Lane, Christopher's dad.

this is, We do not fact check anything here. that's unrelenting. That show, it's part of our job. Oh, what do you mean, nothing at all. Reeve and Reeves. Totally the same last name. I mean, it's. Well, no, they're both Reeves. Oh, it is both. Reeves with the plural. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that is a weird coincidence at the very end. He was born in Iowa. Well, who wouldn't see, you know, just same Superman that where they are born in Iowa.

That's usually where Superman and I, more than they, came from the planet Krypton. I used to, I mean, just the special of the energy of it all. Well, yeah, but the stories were good. And the old Superman. And just like the old Doctor Who, there was something to be said when you could tell they had no budget. But good stories, right. But you could tell that the thing that was supposed to be a high tech computer was a vacuum cleaner with a calculator attached. I mean that was fine, but it's.

Yeah, that was, that was perfectly fine. You had to give up some of that. Yeah. And I think that the, the stories is what made Doctor Who last for 25 years. It wasn't just the wasn't there. Yeah. Now. Well not 50 now. It's 50 now it's over 50. Well it. No no no I don't count this shit. Doctor who fell over though. I'm talking about the actual Doctor Who from 1968 to 19 88 through the. Although I will give the, 20 years the echo sitting here was okay.

The, well, everything up until the check doctor was okay. Even Capaldi said it was a decent doctor who, though I think that it's a reboot of Doctor Who. That's kind of like calling the modern Star Wars movie Star Wars. It's not Star Wars. They do. Star Wars has three episodes. That's it. I would say Star Wars. Everything else is shit. AKA a, you know, a I don't know what's a nice way of putting it. money suck. Yeah. I'm surprised they just haven't renamed it Woke Wars yet.

And the lesbian ruler, The revenge of the woke. Yeah. The black lesbian ruler raised up her lightsaber. No phallic symbols here. The cast to have to change the lightsabers. What? It's. It's way too phallic. Obviously it phallic. Some. It's a no, it's so we gotta have like, badge right or something now. Right. This is we got to do is, show. What was it? some show is watching where a kid brought his mom's rocket to show and tell. It's cool. Hey, kids, don't go.

And the teacher's looking at them like shit. How do I how do I deal with this? My mom really likes her massager movie, and my mom is into rock, and she has all kinds of rockets and. Where does the rocket fuel go, little Jimmy? It's pretty damn funny, but they're obviously battery powered rockets. But, it is, it is the the expression on the teacher's face was priceless. How many rockets do you have, gene? I'm that picture, right? I own so many JPEGs, man. I'm picturing you now as the guy.

I mean, it may have, may have just been as a youngster, but I picture you with the kids, building the rockets and then watching is you launch them up towards space, have a rocket guy. The little. You still do. You keep in touch or, you've lost touch with the rockets. You lost touch on them. I'm relaunching those things in elementary. Those are fun, man. Now, you and Kim Jong Moon, you got the same rocket guy. It doesn't last long, though. It's like you make the battery connections like.

And you're like, that's it. Now you're waiting where their shit to work. That. Where do they go to float back down? Well, now, I mean, when we were kids, we didn't have these super small cameras and stuff you could put out. no, there's nothing out there. Yeah. You couldn't have. You know, you're right. If they're they're putting cameras on the sides of these things, you can actually watch backwards as it's taking off. Just like the real big rockets do. Kind of cool. Darth Vader as a tranny.

He'll make a project. I don't know, that could work. I mean, really by the you know what I rewatched the other day? You get all that medical stuff done, you need to live in an old little plastic thing. What did you watch? Yeah, I rewatched, Total Recall, but I don't recall that it was, I don't know what channel was, but, I noticed that. Wait, it were watching a regular television channel? Yeah, I think it was showtime. I was like, wait your turn now. The TV and you have a connected.

I don't I don't own the TV. Now I have Showtime and streaming, but we'll see. I don't have the ultimate. I don't have a television, but I have all the streaming services. Yeah, that's been the case for many years. but, when I say streaming, I mean streaming that broadcast game. Gotcha. But, Yeah. For you. Boomer. Boomer. Yeah. Hey, man, I'm still looking for Bill O'Reilly under your old, Fox News. I'm sure you are. I'm sure you are. need to fact the baby and that Negan Kelly chick be good.

Yeah, yeah. She was happy when she got all those epic bass. Even my wife. Yeah. What, what said, we said we, I pulled up a Megan Kelly clip on the YouTubes and she's just like she does not look good. She's never look good. That's my point I don't understand this this magic that people were under thinking that she's somehow the sidekick. No she's never look it ever twice. She always just had the long hair covering her face. And that way you were like, I maybe wouldn't notice.

She's a very middle of the road. Chick, you would not have noticed her. That was that, Red claw. That was a liquid death black clock. Now, of course, if the sound of you. If the you would not even notice or even notice it, I'm sure you will. you never would have noticed her in high school. She would have been one of those bitchy, obnoxious two tall for their own good chicks. Yeah, I was looking for them in high school. I, I was just you would have been. Because you had to tell.

Like, where are they? Okay, okay. You would have known. It's heard the rest of us have been like that freak. But the worst period, I think, for her, visually, was it was when she chopped all her hair off and decided to become a liberal feminist for about a year, and she got fired from that job. Yeah. I very rarely like the short hair. Nobody likes the short hair. This is the point that I. I swear to God, I've been saying it my entire life.

I don't understand why this is not commonly known. The thing that Im dudes or it's dudes. I don't know what the word is that that basically that essentially demonstrates a woman's sexuality. Is her hair like to her tits or it's. Yes. No, no no no. Before you see either one of those, the first thing that gets your eyeballs pointing in that general direction is what her hair looks like, because you're not going to be looking at an ass and then realizing it's a dude.

The first thing you look for dude conscious now, those aren't dudes. Heavy. Did you not notice Adam Curry back in the day? That guy had hair. He did have hair. Yeah, that's very true. And he looked a little gay when he had that much hair. But now this is being on a recumbent bike, right? There's nothing at all gay about a recumbent bike. Just says you you can afford one. That's all. I would like a few moments for rebuttal, officer. the. Yeah. Go ahead.

so long you can see the long, flowing blond hair. Flowing hair is a sign of good health. This is this is all subconscious communication stuff. But what if it's a wig? I'm talking about genetically. I'm talking about, like, our ancestors were drawn to long hair because people that don't have long hair, females that don't have long hair ain't going to have kids. There's something wrong with them. See, I should have said there's some kind of conversation on X for what this was today. Yes.

Yeah, that's the topic. so we are predisposed as males to subconsciously look for long, attractive hair. So this is a, the surest way for a woman to signal I'm not interested in men is to chop her. Here you go. Well, she need O'Connor to go. All lesbian? Yes. And, it's a. Real. I'm sure that psychologist may have a thing or two to say about this as well. And looking at what is the mentality of the women that decide to go from long hair to short hair?

But my suspicion, not being a psychologist, just playing on TV, is that, they they just they're feeling like they've just been victimized. They're feeling hurt about something that they're ascribing to a man doing. They want to sponsor is rolling up their hair. Right. Well, that's what they would say. The reality is that taking control, the reality is I'm going to damage myself and make myself an attractive. And that will hopefully keep all these men away from me.

And, a lot of women have done this. A lot of women have gone through these, short hair periods at certain portions of time. I mean, you remember Britney Spears going through that? Yes. Well, yeah, that was not a good look. It's not a good look for any woman. It's not a look. It is literally a subconscious expression of I want to damage myself. And the, you know, Megan Kelly did when she went through her, liberal, lesbian period.

The only time I remember thinking, that kind of works was Janine Turner in Northern Exposure. I don't recall what she looks like. Wow. We should watch. Northern exposure was a great show, should I really? I think so, I mean, you watch all the crappy stuff and I'm like, oh, let me check that out. Northern exposure was actually so wrong. Did all the stuff I told you to watch. Literally everybody who is in our audience agrees with me. All three disagrees with you. Yeah.

They're like, hey, genes, right? Yep. That's exactly what they're saying in Northern Exposure. Born in 1962. Yeah. Sounds like your tape, doctor. Well, again, I was watching the show at a later point, so the, the ages equaled out. But it's also a great show just for the oddity that the little Alaskan town radio station, they use a, sure. 70 7B0, yeah. Okay. Without talking about it. So let's see. Cut. Yeah. That worked for her. I mean, that was not so bald. There was there was something there.

They're not bald, but the pixie cut is a different phenomenon. Okay? This is not a a woman that's trying to make herself unattractive. A pixie cut is a somebody that has trauma in childhood and is trying to be a perceived as a child. If anybody wants to do a few sessions with Gene, he would be more than happy to take you on. And that that did not license to do sessions. I'm happy to comment on things that people tell me for money, but I do not.

I can that do any sessions because that requires a, medical license. But, but I am a, student of, of women's hair, so would you even call it. It's not even psychology. It's like really looking at, the students subconscious. Maybe it would be a better way to phrase it. there are a lot of things that humans do, and a lot of them, frankly, are in common with, other primates that have nothing to do with learned behavior.

They're they're really subconscious, innate behaviors that we've developed over millennia, in fact, a lot more than millennia and millions of years. and as a result, we still do them, but they're generally ascribed to some kind of conscious thought processes. But the reality is, they're all subconscious. No says good show. Not sure if he means northern exposure or unrelenting or I'm pretty sure it's northern exposure. He's talking. He's not talking about this show here.

No, no, no new new new new new. Yeah, yeah. So. is the B12 kicked in yet? The caffeine? Let me take that. Did you forget that scene is definitely real. I don't forget it. I have the bottle right there, still sitting right next to you, right next to my podcasting. Right? To remember, if I'm podcasting, I should be taking the B12. I should be that bottle.

Especially before, just two good old boys.com featuring a dude named and named Ben. And what about him? He wants you to take the B12. He wants you to be ours. If you were him that was making fun of the fact that I'm taking the sublingual. Must have been him. Jim takes pills right here on the podcast. This. Why? Why would we make blues? What was the reason for making fun of that? Oh, I don't know. But he thought sublingual was funny. And northern exposure, we figured that's what you meant to

number eight. Yes it is. This is a C, Brooklyn said this is our supplement break here on unrelenting. This is not sponsored by. We should be any particular supplement company. But if you have a supplement company, and then I'd be happy to run it for you. I have experience, Jim will actually try all of your supplements at the same time just to see what happens. Take the handful of leaves that take a handful of those. Yeah. Take it.

Hey, I do, I think I probably would qualify as a crazy person by a lot of people in terms of the number of supplements I take. because I certainly would have considered somebody that takes as much as I do a crazy person. 20 years ago. Well, it depends why. It depends on knowing you're not really knowing the research, knowing what these supplements right now. Yeah, you're you're providing the justification for taking a lot of things.

I'm just saying from a, a healthy person who doesn't take anything standpoint or maybe takes one multivitamin pill a day. And now that's probably a waste of money, man. It's better than nothing. But if you're looking at in fact, I still take multivitamins because they taste good. I get the gummy bear and they sound like my mom. What would you like me to get you those in pill form? No, they have gummies. Yeah, the other gummies are great. The gummies are great. Yeah. And, Yeah, I think I'm.

I'm taking like, 20 supplements a day. I need a rundown of all of those. I'd be curious. I sent you a photo that had all the bottles stacked up, like, a year ago. Yeah. Might need a list a lot easier, but I take I mean, okay, I mean, that might be a lot harder for me to actually do work and type it in, so screw you. You're getting the photo. I have, first thing in the morning, it is, two capsules of the Tory, and I think they're 1000mg each. And, two of the quercetin.

That's what we start the day. Who go comic strip. Why don't you. Yeah. He says Pokemon that CSB that Lowell with a 3333. Because you can make it go to Q and I finally realized the other day. Fucking CSB this whole thing that it's like oh no clue what that just means. Thank you. No, it means fuck. I mean, I didn't think CSB had the ability to tell that joke. He just took him at his word. I thought he was so literal. CSB could never send you down the wrong path.

But then I met a nice Polish girl, and I'm like, Cordova. And she's like, when? Now? Yeah. And it was great to see us. see, we know that's bullshit. The. Because it has you meeting a girl, but yeah, otherwise the story was completely perfect. I could have been like, I met a person that was a Polish grocery store, right? I was getting some pierogi. I was like, I'd like four of those curries. And she's like, oh, four. That's a lot. That's a lot.

And then the Polish butcher punched me in the face, which he has me was hoping for. Yeah. He was trying to cause damage. Well it doesn't just mean fuck no. It's a variety of words. Fuck doesn't really just mean fuck either. No, it never does. It's probably the most. It was the Carlin bit. Like it's the most. Right? Usable word in the English language. Absolute is literally all parts of the English language. But back to the supplements. We have the taurine and the course in.

And then I take, you know, I've got the regular medication, but they also take the A Reds three which is or has a two, maybe a Reds two. which is the environment, which is a supplement because it's the zinc and like the, the, the AXA thing and the lutein that are in that. also take some D3 I'm back to the 5000 because you told me go go go high, go high man. Did you watch that episode that I posted on X? I did, it was mainly a sales pitch but I did watch it.

Yeah. But usually I just it's like yeah, we then go buy my book if you really want the information in my book. Well, I've been watching this guy for a decade and he is what I like about him, even though he's not a real doctor. What I like about him is he is a dude. How much you spit my blood? Liquid death right out. It's like he's not even a real doctor. Well, and no, he's not, but it's still. But he's got very good points. He he is, let's say, like doctors or something, isn't he? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. He's like a doctor. Like Joe Biden is a doctor. I see it when though he doesn't have an honorary degree. He has a doctor of chiropractic, so it makes him not a real doctor, but it's like way worse. It's. But he spent the last over ten years, probably 15 years, doing a deep dive into supplementation. And he has a lot more knowledge than the vast majority of actual doctors when it comes to the chemicals that you put in your body.

So now when I'm taking my finances and he reads the research I use of the D3, that doesn't automatically come free, packaged with the k two, I am taking the magnesium at the same time. Do I need to add the k two to that as well? I, I take k2 magnesium. The only thing I don't take is calcium because every frickin blood test I do I have slightly elevated calcium. So you don't want to then. I don't, you don't.

Cause that's how you end up getting calcification in your, veins and stuff in your arteries. You get your calcium the old fashioned way. Pint by pint of coffee, ice cream. Okay, I just did a steak right there, because that's very true. I do enjoy the occasional coffee ice cream. Even though I don't. I don't do it as much as I used to. Well, diabetes will do that for you. Diabetes will prevent you from eating pints of ice cream big time. You eat the ice cream.

You're like, I really don't feel good. Like, okay, I haven't eaten all day. I saved up my sugar intake. I'm gonna eat some ice cream. but yeah, yeah, I don't drink that much milk. I think that there's a misconception that calcium only comes from milk. The reality is, comes from eating meat. Yeah. so if you are a carnivore, you're probably getting enough calcium. And you can still supplement that with the the hog. It does. It has to be hog than O'Reilly's the same way you say the only target.

That's the only brand of ice cream. And the cost of that are homemade. And that was the coffee too. So you would have really ice cream buddies were ice cream bros. Yeah. You go, you probably hang out together, like, let's get some, Haagen-Dazs. What do you think? Just don't tell Darryl. Right? Or there's other brother Darryl or anybody involved with the unrelenting show. So I hear the ad starts with a D I got it had the K to that end.

As a I have never seen like a 5000 D3 with the K2, so I gotta add the two, right. Yeah. With that, otherwise, realistically speaking, you generally don't want to get the mixed vitamins. You want to get the solo vitamins because these, these products often have different speeds with which they age and lose efficacy. That would make sense.

So you, you know, I mean, I guess if you just only buy one thing it pills and then use it until it's gone and then go and buy the next one, most people do a two, two for 1 or 3 for one or whatever kind of sale deals and stock up. Like, I know I've got probably two years worth of vitamin D sitting in there cool and dark. That's all you gotta do. Yeah. Then we have the, and the really the magnesium and the. I gotta find the they gotta find the pills rather than the capsules.

Man, the capsules in your stomach are not fun. They are not fun. Then I do the co Q10 I do that twice a day now I don't, I don't do that one. That's some. But a lot of people I know do cookie ten I've never really needed to. Well it's one of those if you take a stat and they tell you you have to because the stat like dry up the the come. Yeah. So my solution to that is to not take the salmon which is a better way to go I think.

So my doctor bitches on me every time is like no, no I just told you hi I don't know what's going on. And we keep prescribing you stuff. And I'm like, yeah, oh, there's a good reason I have never seen the pills, but I will, I tell you, I'll take mine occasionally if I feel like it, but I, it's rare and grandkids it's, there's no proof. But I do believe. Yeah. You do believe. Go ahead. The CoQ10 lowered my blood pressure better than any of the other blood pressure medication I have.

And that's that's made sense. I think it works in their calcium channel there. but the thing about a lot of these is it's not. So what what the statins do is, not necessarily or in fact, probably not, addressing the root cause. It's just addressing the symptom. And that's what a lot of our medicine is just addressing the symptom. Right. Whereas I think CoQ10 actually addresses the cause, not symptom. So it's, this is this is a, This is a difference generally between medicines and supplements.

It's not just that one requires a prescription, but medicines are supposed to be the fastest way to stop something the doctor doesn't like that he sees in you. whereas supplements are something that's supposed to supplement what you would otherwise be getting out of food. If we eat normal food, which we don't. Well, in order to allegedly make you healthier because you need, you know, your body needs this nutrient, but you're not getting it.

Well, in the case of vitamin D3 in the winter in, you know, Chicago. Well, you're not really getting a lot of natural D3. So you got to get it in a different form. Right. Right. Well and there there's another interview I watched and this one was boy who was around. I think I might have even been on Tucker. I don't remember exactly who was the enemy. Russian apologist Tucker Carlson, the Russian apologist Tucker Carlson.

Yeah. but talking about how, it's been a medical scam to, get people to stop sunbathing, because when we were young, sunbathing was a natural activity in the summer that everybody participated in. The guys did it while doing activities, like I was, a windsurfer. So I did that all summer long.

And, You know, they they kind of started putting the kibosh on that in the late 80s, talking about how evil and bad the sun is and it causes cancer and all these, all these things, which is such total bullshit. Because, sure, there might be some percentage of people that end up, getting skin cancer. But realistically speaking, we for millions of years once again have been running around with no clothes on. Hey there. Minimal clothes on. Let's just say it all depends if you're a nudist, I guess.

But, running around and being out in sunlight. And that includes about black people, white people and Asian people, it's just, this is natural for humans to be outdoors in sunlight, generating vitamin D the natural way. Right? Well, it's also low genetic, meaning a very, purebred is, Ksbw likes to say white Irish dude spending time in the sun. Your chances of getting skin cancer probably way higher than somebody with a dark brown skin. Well, it depends where you spend the time in the sun.

If you spend the time in the sun in Ireland. No, not not at all. Well, right. Because that's in Ireland, which is where the sun is rarely or and that's where the pale skinned people belong. So if you bring up to the United States in your cell, which you shouldn't, I'm never wrong. Yeah. There's no reason to transport those those types over here. All right. So our good friend CSB with another 3333 says ask Gene how to get rich quick. I need money to buy a castle in Norway. Oh, Castle, Norway.

I do like the Norwegian women. I'll come hang out with CSB. the men. A lot of blond women out there. CSB and tall. They're like Vikings. Just like Vikings. Because that's what their ancestors were. Yes, exactly. Thinking, you know, that would be exactly what Sears Tower, which you do. Yeah. Do you prefer the Sweden or the Norway. Is it really that much of a difference I mean I oh whoa, whoa I was fighting words I didn't know, I mean the Swedish women kind of look blond.

You don't know that. They're different countries. I mean, I know they're different countries, but I think the overall look this close, isn't it? I mean, is there a massive look if you if we gave Jeanne a bunch of photos like one to Norwegian woman one, I just wait until always you think I. Yeah. So somebody set up this test. I need an AI that will pick pictures of those two genetic groups, CSB, and then have gene vote. Which ones? Which. It's very easy. It's it's super easy.

The Norwegians have a much higher percentage of dark hair than the Swedes. But I'll go Swedes. Okay. see, Brooklyn says the whole sunburn thing makes me believe we didn't evolve on this planet. Who? We were brought here by an alien race deposit. We don't get sunburned, dude. It's a lie told by mainstream medicine. You've never had sunburn. That's not. Yeah, I've had sunburn, but it's not. It's normal. This is the reason we get sunburn, right?

The reason anybody's ever had sunburn is because they were indoors too long. No one gets sunburn when? By the end of summer. Right. When's the last time in August you had sunburn when you were young? I suppose it does go from here like no sun. Sunburn is a symptom of being indoors. Too much sunburn is a symptom of not getting enough sun. People. Yeah, that's exactly it. This is the kind of medical term of that. Doctor told me. The advice that you'll get here. That doctor, he's not real. Told me.

I believe it. And then sunscreen, of course. So that was the whole big scam. That's that's the scam? Yeah. Sunscreen was a total scam. Yep. And then you basically, they look like wearing a condom. Well, it's worse because the chemicals that are in the sunscreen are now leaching into your body. And there's a loophole. Yeah. All sorts of crap in there that there's a lot of aluminum. You're right about that. Not good. That's why I don't even you, laddie, though. The sunscreen was made of lead.

Yeah. I would never use the antiperspirants. What? I don't have a perspiration problem, but it's like deodorant. Never around people. Yes, this is true. If nobody's around you to tell you you smell like ass, you are perfectly fine. but the British person. Yeah. Putting that on your ass.

Then you got a whole other kind of issue. Well, that's the quite these commercials. I said this to my wife. Who are these people? They're the commercials that were running during the NASCAR race was for something called Lumi. And it's like, oh, you just put a little drop between your male ass cheeks and you what? You won't smell all day. And I'm like, wait, wait, are people? Yeah, that's your sense of smell. I don't know what they people are doing.

It must be some kind of like, anti-bacterial cream that people are rubbing between their ass cheeks. I'm like one. Oh, yeah? Who is using this to. Why are there commercials for this? It's the reason I don't want to be the product tester there. I don't want to be the people that are going to say so. You ended up ordering some just to see what it was all about. I should like, let's do that. We get a looming sponsorship here on the podcast.

Maybe. Well, and I think that they're actually kind of up to something because, the human body itself doesn't really have a whole lot of smell. It's actually the aromatics are from the bacteria that normally reside in human bodies or in human bodies. One of the really and, and it's just the byproducts of the, the, their exhaust chemicals, if you will, that we associate with bodily smells.

Yeah, that seems pretty much right when you clean all the bacteria out of a human body, like they generally do. at a, a, you know, funeral home or, what do you call it, the, the mortuary. Mortuary? Yeah. When they take all the blood and all the junk out of your stomach and stuff, that removes pretty much all the smell. Yeah, you can tell this very easily if you got a lot of stank going on. and you haven't showered in, like, a week. take a little bit of isopropyl alcohol and just rub your pits.

The smell disappears instantaneously. That's because you're smelling the. I smell. Well there's that too because you're like oh yeah that's a strong smell. Whoa. I gotta probably mix it with a little water or you're going I made that mistake once with the high, concentration because there's different isopropyl alcohols as well. You can get it. You want 70% 80, right? You want the highest percentage you can. Yeah. Absolute.

But if you do the highest percentage you can and you like, rub that directly on your pits. Oh my God. It's like you set yourself on fire for like a minute. It goes down just the way that though. Yeah. Just yeah it does. It does tend to go right in that. That's true. Goes right through the pores. Is there anything. Yeah. Omega perfect says he takes 21,000mg of medications a day. He's had some big, big heart problems. He says I smell like a funk. Fucking kvass.

This is a good smell. Yes. That's funny. Yeah, I know exactly the smell he's saying, though. Just put a little bit of put a little bit of musk, you know, get that spray a combination of, teenagers and homeless people. It's not a good combination. teenagers are homeless people. So CVS smells like I have not been in a CVS, I think. I mean, we're pretty much Walgreens here. We do have CDs, but, we don't really go into them for some reason. This was the only two chains that are left.

Is there a difference of the smell between a Walgreens and a CVS for some reason? yeah. Walgreens smells more like food. Interesting. Did not know that this is the. I always used to drive through cars. Just generally go through the drive. You mean you send your guy to the drive through? Well, no, no, no, I get most of my medicines actually show up in the mail from Amazon, but there's a couple that I have to get locally, like the, insulin I get locally because that's got to get refrigerated.

Amazon will ship you stuff that's refrigerated, but it's actually kind of a pain in the ass to get rid of the the styrofoam box. They ship it in. so I only I just picked that up locally. You are very, very environmentally conscious. Do not really. I just don't want to fill up my trash with empty boxes. I hear you, the snake might like it. Build a little habitat for the snake. snake curry has an expensive habitat. It doesn't need to have anything else built.

The snake did something I wasn't particularly happy about last week. he was, sitting in the bathtub, as he does every few days. Like to go in for a little while. So, yeah, keep a little water in there or. Why. No, I have to turn on the shower for him. He likes the rain, So he'll go in and take a shower, and then I'll turn the water off, and he'll just sit in the water for an hour or so, just, chilling. And, so I was talking on the phone. Somebody and I spray here, water running.

I don't know what the hell it is. I thought because I didn't think I have my dishwasher, I didn't think I have the, the washing machine. and, so I end up going in to take a leak in the bathroom, and I walk in, and I see the snake sitting in a completely full bathtub about a half inch below the level of the bathtub, full of water. And the the water is, you know, it's coming out of the faucet. I'm like, you little bastard, you turn the water, I'm so the.

And I don't know for how long that was happening. I might have a nice, expensive water bill, but, the essentially the snake turned on them water, and I'm like, I hope that's a one time accidental thing and not a learned behavior, because I don't want, you know, he's bad enough. He knows how to open doors by turning the handle. It's not good if he learns how to turn on water as well. I go and turn on the TV to watch the snake. That's. Next thing you know, he's going to be sitting there.

It's like, why is the TV on? Yeah, the snakes like watching the snake channel and kind of see what's going on. you know, I, I've heard excuses because the wife works at village hall, and one of the things they take care of are the water bills. I've never heard my snake turn down the water. Ran up a big bill. Is there anything you can do? No. Most people just refuse to believe they have, like, a toilet running or something like that when they're.

Bill all of a sudden jumps up, to massive usage because nobody thinks health could take a lot of water, but it can it it can. Absolutely. I had a broken sprinkler a couple of years back, and my water usage went from like, 25 bucks a month, 30 bucks a month, something like that, to $200 a month. I was like, whoa, what the hell happened? It's not my fault. Yes, sir. It is your fault. They know I can this and take it off the bill. But it turned out to be a broken sprinkler. That'll do.

The head was basically the idiot. long guys managed to cut off the sprinkler head. Oh, the lawn guys. And, so when the water turned down in the evening, instead of it being going through a very fine Mr.. Which it normally would, it, it just went straight out. The pipe was just it out. Yeah. It was basically a fountain for about an hour every night. And it's like, no, it's no good.

The wildlife said, no, not nice at all, because it also creates a huge puddle right in the yard for the wildlife to come and get some water. It's like a water. Yeah, yeah. For the mosquitoes to come and get some water back. Those and the rats and the, armadillos or whatever you got. No no no no no no no no no, they're not they're not allowed into the, gated community here. We had some, mice running around the front porch. So the wife went and their ass. Oh, my gosh. Then I did find a cockroach.

Oh, yeah. That's, almost as bad. My parents had found a couple of mice, so it's like that in the house, which is like, that's never been, No, I found them in the garage, but they're cockroaches are native here. I had to look this up. And when I say cockroach, I don't mean those little bitty things that are half an inch long that you have up north. You be like the ones that are, like, 14in and, yeah, turn off the television. Exactly right.

The the Texas cockroach is about an inch and a half long, and it's winged it. So it flies around. but they're in their native species here, and, so they're not, like, imported from New York City, which is where the majority of the cockroach population was. so they're they're actually, native Texans here, which I find interesting. Is it true that they feed on old cheap ponchos? That is absolutely the case. which is apparently why I found it in the garage.

Because I have a stockpile of cheap old ponchos sitting there, and, the cockroaches are actually very beneficial because, they eat rotting material. They're basically, you know, cleaner crew. So dead bodies, a lot of cockroaches. Well, generally dead plants, but. Sure. they don't eat live plants. They don't eat live animals. They only eat things that are dead and decaying. So they're pretty.

They're beneficial. Yeah. And while they will eat what we would describe as food, they're like, if you have a picnic or something and you leave a bunch of droppings, they'll eat those. But they actually prefer rotting stuff. They, they're attracted to the smell of, rot. 1818 from comic strip blogger who says, what do you want out of life? And he just randomly thing saying things. Now he's not even watching the show. I think it's very philosophical of him. you should send Dale from Down Under.

You forget his address, you can send him some ponchos. What would it cost to send ponchos to Australia? Like 45 bucks? 45 bucks? Yes, yes, I prefer I. I'm happy to give Dale some ponchos. I'd prefer that he'd show up here. It's the best friend I can present him with. Some. You can pet the snake. yeah. Yeah. Snake. Penny. Yeah. I think he's probably got that in Australia. I'm pretty sure they have snakes. Oh, yeah, they got big, big, big animals. They don't have big animals. Actually.

They have poisonous animals. That's even worse, I guess, like drop bears. Like kangaroos. Dangerous can be nasty. They're even when they're pets, but still nasty. There's a guy that has a, wildlife rescue ranch that I. His channel I watch that used to live here in Austin. Now he's moved up a little bit, to Waco. got a, a really nice, like, crack down property and has renovated into an animal facility. Oh. So it's a nice crack. That property.

Now what it is now, there needs to be, used to have, like, junk and tires and stuff in the yard, and I'm sure, you know, crack needles in the house and now it looks really nice, but, he's got some kangaroos there. and one of which, the mail that Steve raised from a baby and it's named the baby. And, now the the baby's fully adult and has, produced its own offspring with another kangaroo. Oh, is that better than when the guys

multiple generations of kangaroos. But even though the thing was literally grew up in his house, and he cared for it, when he comes out there, it still wants to grab his shoulders and start kicking him in the stomach with its feet. So not domesticated at all. Do not know. There's I don't as much as he has essentially domesticated kangaroos, I don't think can ever really be truly domesticated. So, like they're not interested in that.

It's, Well, it just sees anything roughly its size, as in competition for female kangaroos. And that may be true depending like she's got a well, I guess, but it's it's just going to want to fight you and the other animal that is even worse than that, that he has, is a rear, named Kevin. And this re is entire mission in life is to bite him. Just to to run and chase him and bite him. It's it's truly amazing. And Kevin is now a grandfather himself is.

He's got a bunch of baby Ray's and, which I think they taste pretty good rate, I don't know. Yeah. And instead of, turkey for Thanksgiving, have a rear. They're they're pretty much the closest things that we still have that are alive to dinosaurs. Never ate one. Sure, there's a chicken. Tastes like chicken. Everything does. So it's just like, why don't you just have more chicken? Well, you could, you could.

It's just they obviously most people have had chicken, so it's a good reference point for what things taste like. If I said, oh yeah, tastes just like a saltwater crocodile, well, that's not a good reference point for most people. It does taste like chicken. Exactly. But most people wouldn't really. Nothing wrong with a little bit. It means little gator bite. Fry them up.

it's, it's a, it's very chicken eating, and if you want the fatter meat that's on the base of the tail, the good stuff is a little bit later. If you like the fattier bits, you like some rib tips, a little griffin. Oh, I like a good gator. Oh, you just, like, pull it right off and put a lot of spit, like, right over the fire. No braces. Kangaroos make durable leather. I did not know that do they. Interesting.

Yeah I know they don't taste good because when I was in Australia I had kangaroo and I was like nope would not choose this as a standard meat that I would eat. Would you like a Vegemite sandwich mate? God, that's even worse. Oh my God, I what would you serve Gene, if he came to Australia for Tangaroa and Vegemite? Yeah, yeah, it's a great combination. It's a horrible thing. I don't understand why anyone would eat. I mean, I get it if you're hungry enough, but, Yeah. Oh, yeah.

What's the other thing? That's like Vegemite? There's another one. The Brits do. Marmite. I don't know, this weird foods out there. It's basically like brewer's yeast. It's interesting to know what people will eat and what they won't eat. I love some good. When you went to Ireland was like oh the black pudding. That's awesome. People are like that's blood sausage. but yeah but it's delicious. Yeah. And I'd say spotted Dick is better. you're more of a British official.

Also the spotted dick when it comes to countries with the worst food on the planet. Britain. Yes, the UK, Britain, Ireland, all that whole. That whole place that has a, red haired, people with pale skin that you can see through. I doesn't like the Irish fruit, you know, it was mainly, you know, steaks and, potatoes and, whiskey.

So not really Irish food. Okay. There was a lot of seafood, although, I mean, again, the rice there, you know, the potato was imported and not all that long ago into Ireland. It's not a native crab, I didn't know. Yeah, it's potato, but the big potato famine. Man, that was a problem. Yeah. You know why? It's because, they stopped importing potatoes. Damn. People from Idaho. Can't trust them. That's right, that's right. But yeah, they're, native foods in that part of the world.

They're just not particularly tasty because they didn't really grow any spices. It's not like a good shwarma. That's very British shwarma. That was very Middle Eastern. It's kind of like the most consumed food in the UK right now. I mean that's because I mean I did notice that Maryland dude, there were a lot of takeaways for Chinese and Indian and Thai and so when, when I went to Ireland, the first 48 hours, the only thing that we ate, was, Murphy's and Guinness.

Well, that is the only way to start your day with a spoon. I think it's soup. Yeah, it's very thick. and then after for eight hours were like, okay, I guess we're going to have to eat, quote unquote, real food. Now. And, and then we started realizing that the native food was not particularly tasty. Then go for a good mutton stew. Mutton stew? Oh, yeah. No mutton stew, man. now, shepherd's pie or maybe a nice boxy. Oh. Oh, Jesus. Little too much reverb, I said, well, that wasn't the reverb.

That's what sells it, I think. I also don't believe in CSB anymore. Coming in 1818 says, why does the Polish man sit on the clock? He wanted to be on time, maybe. Yeah. Whoever that is, somebody's drinking. Had a few drinks. Yeah, exactly. Speaking of bourbon, we we need a bourbon sponsorship. That's what we do need. Yeah, we'll we'll take a sponsorship. We'll be. It's like, kicked off the no gender value for value network, though. I know that would be sad. It'd be a sad name.

But if the if the if there's any zeros on that check out we're in. Yeah. Exactly. It's like Adios mofo and such. Now you just cut that part out. You just do your night with like, no, you just hide that. the commercial. Yeah. All right, folks, this is a live recording. We're gonna go to our commercial sponsor. During that bit, you're going to hear nothing is that's illegal on this network. Great. We'll be right back. He's just run a different bit. You just run this like yep yep yep yep yep yep.

And that's all you got to do instead. What is the last time you actually chose to do something overly complicated? Ain't going to happen. You never didn't have quietness. Yeah, exactly. It says, you know, the guy who doesn't bother editing the show ever. Hey, it's always edit it, but not manually. Not manually. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Sorry. I keep hearing, Adam and John talk about you and your shitty art submissions. I know, but they're only I. I've been playing with the AI. It's fun.

Yeah. So apparently you're providing your, your secret code to them, which I don't know that you should be. Secret code. I do extra special artwork for every unrelenting over the last five weeks. Yeah. No, I mean, the, you're providing them with the words used to generate the art or just for a few of them. Yeah, that's the secret, man. Yeah. Secrets to be sharing that. Easy. Anybody can do that. Meant to be secret and shared. Yeah, anybody can do it. It's a beautiful thing.

No, but some people have language skills and others don't. You don't share your language with others. You never learn anything. And I was wondering about this because I read a few of the articles about how artists are trying to screw with the AI. Oh, now there's more Polish jokes. This can't be Bixby, which is exactly another 1818. Why did the Polish men refuse to drink bourbon at the party? He said I'd rather not risk it.

Last time I had bourbon, I ended up trying to wrestle a bear for its coat, although it does seem very dad joke ish. So, that could be KSP. I don't know, it's not. It's been that, and I think the and we've talked about this before, there really needs to be a minimum value filter, making noise on our stove, like 10,000. Way too low right now. Way 20,000. It's at least 10,000. There's no I mean, 10,000 is what, like $0.25? Now it's a little more than that at this point.

But Bitcoin 61,000 right now the the country incidentally speaking of Beto sorry. Yeah. Give Beto go ahead finish your thing and then we'll get back to Bitcoin. The the concept that artists were going to be able to screw with the AI by putting fake descriptions on the images is not going to work. This was one of the series was that, you know, if you posted a photo of, you know, Jean and his Black Lives Matter t shirt input, you know, this is Scarlett Johansson in an evening gown.

This would confuse the eyes when it's trying to learn what things are. And there is a, new type of the for stable diffusion, which is the open source AI image generation thing. That platform, their latest iteration thing is called flux, and it's supposedly way more realistic when creating people. And I will say the it's not perfect, but I think you've been making some started your Hansen's. Is that what you're saying? Well, this is there's a few different, points here. The saying.

Yes. Well, there's the intriguing thing is, of course, there are laws which are things that you can add to the main some, you know, the main data so you can put in. And people have already trained Scarlett Johansson, of course, Taylor Swift and all of your favorite icons like Alicia Silverstone, like, wow, I haven't seen her in a while, but she was hot for a minute. Yeah, and people that will create these before Fat Girl, you can create very realistic looking images of these people.

No question about it. These are doing a really nice job with photo realism, which is very hard to do. Even the last step, which was pretty good, the skin texture and that gives it away. It looks very plasticky. But the interesting thing here was in the chat GPT, thanks to USB for getting me all hooked up on GPT two. Somebody had done a their own, you know, as you can do your own large. You can train the chat GPT for specific things.

And one of them was incorporation with this flux basically checkpoint for stable diffusion. And I went in and I took a few different photographs and I put that into the chat GPT thing and said, give me a Laura, not a Laura. Give me a, prompt to recreate this. And the Laura model and, I'm sorry, in the flux model, I just got so many things on the brain. I think you're losing people now.

I'm starting to not offer anyway, you put the photographs in, and it gave you a description of what's in the photograph. It doesn't need anything to describe it. And the photographs that it reproduced. When you put side by side, you would definitely go, yes, this belongs with the one that I started with. So you're basically starting with an image or whatever you want. You put it into the AI. The AI then gives you a text representation as a prompt.

You're not putting the photograph, then you're just putting that text in and it's reproducing a photograph that looks very much like the one you started with, which is wild to me. It. Why is that? Wow. That's literally what it's meant to do. I understand that, but the concept then that you can go and lie about what's in the photograph, it's like, well, it doesn't need that. It's going to look at the photograph pixel by pixel.

So anything that you add in to tell it what it is isn't going to do anything. Yeah okay. That was the point you're making. Yes. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Because the the bit that people I think for the most part don't realize is that words aren't so much a descriptor as they are more like a Dewey Decimal system of where to file certain things. And this is why these large models work.

because what you're doing by, providing a set of descriptor words of terms is just looking up what's at that position in the database. And that's what's in the database. And I know I'm oversimplifying it greatly here for people that actually understand how this works. It's like quite what it is. But it's closer to that than that. The words that you're putting in is essentially the cataloging position of a particular type of image that it more than.

Yes. And when you're using something like the Laura, where you can then put a specific person's face in, it is not hard. If you have a Scarlett Johansson photo shoot and you take one image from that and then put that in, you can recreate what looks like outtakes from that with her face. And people would not know they weren't real. It's very wild stuff. Yeah, that technology has been utilized in foreign images for about 20 years now. But now it is open to anybody.

You don't need a whole lot of you mean you don't have to work for point company? No, you don't have to do anything special. It's all open source. You don't even need it. Well, the hefty hardware will help get it done faster, obviously, but you're not running it on special. I've got a story about that, too. But hefty hardware. Hey, that's what she said. Hey, look at that hefty hardware.

But the thing to me, again, was just the fact that a description can come so close to reproducing the photograph that, you know, this concept that the AI is going to be confused, just not going to happen? Well, it's not quite it shouldn't be surprising to you, because if you ask the AI to describe an image, it works in both directions. So the description it gives you should recreate. It should generate something very similar. If it doesn't, that's a problem.

True. Now tell me about your big hardware. Well, before that, I was going to talk about Bitcoin, which is just over 61 right now. thousand prime. And the, the thing that I, it occurred to me that Bitcoin's been kind of hovering for the last seven, six, seven months, around ¥60 in that ballpark, in that ballpark, which kind of is not good because Bitcoin, if it was truly decoupled from the US dollar, which is experiencing great inflation, Bitcoin right now should be in the high 70s.

or at least let's say in the low 70s because, every year for the last 40 years of Biden's presidency, we've lost in the neighborhood of between 8 and 14% of the value of the US dollar. So if Bitcoin was truly independent, we ought to see an increase in Bitcoin versus the dollar, which is the same thing as saying a decrease due to inflation in the dollar and hence more dollars necessary to buy the same exact bitcoin.

But what we've seen are more erratic movements with bitcoin, which is it either drops by a lot, which is more than 20%, or it shoots up by a lot, and then it kind of hovers in the same general vicinity until some other major event and those major events I believe, to be wrong. But, I think it's highly likely that those major events that drive the price are actually nation state purchases or nation state sales of bitcoin. I don't think this is individuals, not even billionaires.

I think this is literally like what we recently had when the, the money that was seized by the FBI in Bitcoin form, a decade ago from the, the, the guy here in Austin that was selling or that was running the marketplace where you could buy anything, let's call it something. River, silk River, Silk Road. Yeah. Silk road. So Silk Road. Yeah. those big coins that were seized were now just recently traded, which means that the FBI, government funding something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.

That is the what beauty of bitcoin is that there is a right traceable every last little bit. Yeah. Which the U.S government or the Federal Reserve said forever. That's why all our money is serialized. So they can track where it goes. But now with the way that, Bitcoin set up, it's public info. It's not private info. Did you see the thing that recently there was a mistake at, one of the printing presses for American currency? did not.

And they made a bunch of singles with serial numbers that have already been used in another one of the facilities. So there is now a thing where there are duplicate, duplicate serial numbers. And if you could find, two that matched the pairs to sell one, that's worth a lot better. If you could find two that match. This is a whole new fun game. I guess.

Yeah, I, I'm sure there's websites where people can post all their serial numbers and see if they could match them up with somebody else, and maybe trade one of yours for one of theirs. And both end up with paired. Well, you have somebody needs a pair. It's like, dude, that's a lot of money. Real lot of money. Yeah. It's all just, it's all just a lot of money anyway. Well, this is it.

And I also noticed the day, a week and a half, two weeks ago, when the stock market really cratered out at the end of the week. Yeah, Bitcoin also cratered out. So the concept that it's somehow on its own level that it's not connected to, it's like it's all bullshit. It is kind of bullshit.

And yeah, and while it was growing from being worth very little, almost nothing, and then starting to be on parity with the $1 per bitcoin and then, you know, like $100 per bitcoin and continued growing up, I think a lot of people interpreted that or at least called it that. Well, this is where the true value of this money comes from. Is it, you know, it's counter to the fiat currencies. This is the real deal.

But that's not what was responsible for the growth of and value the I think John Dvorak said this originally and he was absolutely right, is that the value of Bitcoin started increasing as it's popularity started increasing, but its availability did not. And so you you had more people finding out about it and then saying, oh, how do I get me one of them Bitcoin things. And that demand by people that previously had zero Bitcoin and now wanted some bitcoin caused the price to go up.

And as we've seen over the last probably 3 or 4 years when the price of Bitcoin has been crazy high, crazy crazy, meaning I don't know, let's say over $10,000 per bitcoin. That's been that for quite a while, probably more than five years now. I think we've had a lot of surges up and down, but we haven't had the type of growth that we did originally because let's face it, at this point, anybody that wants a Bitcoin already has a Bitcoin.

I don't know if I would say that, but most I would I would agree with that. Well, there isn't a huge amount of people that have never heard of Bitcoin anymore. True. There's still it is like oh shit I need a job. Yeah. But that's a different question. But it's fairly easy to get because the growth happened when people that had never heard of Bitcoin ask the same questions like, oh, how do I get that?

And so right now, if Bitcoin was was real is what a lot of these bitcoin enthusiasts like to claim it is, which is the only true currency on the planet and everything else is fake money. Then we should see the trading of bitcoin, be on a a It should reflect the inflation happening in the US and other countries by continuously increasing in price without an increase in demand. We're not seeing that. So by Bitcoin South Bitcoin don't do anything with bitcoin. It's all a scam.

Well it depends I mean I wouldn't like skip a meal to go buy bitcoin. Well no but you can just have your caviar guy bring it over when you pay him with the bitcoin. So it's interesting. Yeah you should never spend bitcoin. We'll see. But that doesn't make any sense because then it's worth zero. It sure does if you never convert it into something else. And when I you know if you want to trade it for services or for. Yeah you're not seeing it in that and same way here.

Do you go to the art store and, buy a painting in order to trade it for a burger later? Well, sometimes, depending on the paint. No, you don't like button sold stuff you've never bought a painting? Was not a painting. Well, no, not a painting. But I did buy a few copies of, Russell James, the Victoria's Secret. one of the big photographers back in the day, I did buy his photo book, on Amazon when it was on sale for $10. and then sold them a few years later for 400 apiece.

Holy shit. That's pretty good. So it's the same kind of thing. I mean, you're buy you're taking something that you think has value, and then you turn it into more value. Yeah. When you think that it's reached its pinnacle of it can get you more money, it doesn't really matter what it is. I mean, I I've talked about that before.

I think it's insane when I heard that the one Taylor Swift album that I had still sitting in, it's wrapping, you know, unopened was selling for $1,000 now for a knee jerk reaction and sold that. Well, now they're selling for 3 to 4000. Yeah. So the question with anything including Bitcoin is what's the top. You know, there's a caveat to that, which is when they were selling for $1,000, a lot more of them were actually being bought and sold. Oh they're selling for 3000.

There's like five of them being bought and sold. When they sell for 10,000, they'll be one sold per year, which also means you can sell one for 5000 pretty easily because people will be like, well, that's a good deal. But it maybe but probably no, it's it's not that easy. It's when you get into ridiculous price quantities for high value items. And believe me, I know this because I sell spaceships. there are a lot fewer buyers willing to spend that kind of money. Oh, I agree, yeah.

And then there are sellers. Although it's just the sellers are okay with not selling. Right. That's the thing is, if you're selling luxury goods, you should be okay with not making a single sale a year. You're like, I'm just sitting out this. I don't need the money. I'm gonna sit on it until somebody really wants it, till somebody gives me the price. And I'm like, okay. Yeah. Another 1818 from fake CSB I'm sure. Yeah. what did the Polish bitcoin miners say when he finally found a block.

Looks like I finally mind my own business. Wow. That these are bad jokes. They're they're racist to. Whoever. Yeah. Stop stop making noise for such low amounts. Dude, I need, Eric Pepe to update this so we can set a minimum on the helipad. Now, all you need is just to have that sound and then turn off the automation. And when somebody said something worthwhile, then you push a button on your stream deck. Wait, you want to do things manually?

In this case, yeah, because it's annoying to have it be automated for such a long amount. Darren's a pro man. It said no one ever. a member is like, oh, you needs a mute button. I'm like, oh yeah, I have that. Yeah. I mean, I can just turn it off. I can be like, nope, nope. Okay. No, no more poop. You turn it off. Perfect. Let's do that. Turned it off. now, what was the other thing I was going to talk about? Your big rig. Your big hardware. Oh, big, big rig, big hurt. So I brought.

I knew about this for the Kenilworth, and we bought a semi truck. I think I knew this, back, about five years ago, but I kind of rediscovered it yesterday that Nvidia has a GPU in the cloud service, which, yeah, lets you play video games remotely. Well, I think it does what a lot of people are using these to do the AI artwork and stuff. I don't give a shit about that. I'm talking about actual important things.

I'm surprised you can even do it with the video games, because I would think the latency would be an issue. Well, you would think so, but the latency is perfectly acceptable. I just tested two different games yesterday with this service on their top tier, and it's, it's running on a 4080, which is a over $1,000, a video card. And they're charging well for, for the everything package. It's 20 bucks a month, so $240 a year.

So take you four years to just buy that card if you were to do it yourself. Right? Or, they have a $10 a month package that doesn't guarantee that card could be something smaller and cheaper that they're using. the biggest difference is you get ten ATP for ten bucks a month or a 4K resolution for 20 bucks a month. and there's a few smaller differences as well. But now is this I was basically creating a video stream which is now being sent back to you. Yep.

So essentially what's happening is it's taking your keyboard and mouse input, which is very little data. So you can send it very fast to their server, which is then their server is actually running the game and then effectively doing the same thing that Twitch does, right? It's just grabbing a live stream off your video game and then sending it back to you. And Twitch has, generally about a five second delay. It could be as short as a couple of seconds, but it's certainly not real time.

But I think there are multiple reasons for that. One of which is they're multi casting. So they're they're sending one stream to a whole bunch of people. They're processing it optimizing it. And because it's a, a free service to potentially thousands of people all at once, there are certain costs involved with them doing that which are offset by advertising generally. And so it's a slightly different here. They're just sending it back to you. You're the consumer of this one single stream.

for people that are dude named dude's name, then this is really nothing more than RDP, except with extremely low latency and high bandwidth. So which basically which is a remote desktop, generally is fairly low bandwidth and there's not a whole lot of latency to it. But there could be if you start moving your mouse really fast. Right? That would be this thing. Yeah. Because I can see it.

I mean, I have a, I have a system in the basement that that's how the that's where the troll room right now of troll room. I know that is on another windows box in the basement, but it looks like it's just part of my system on the third monitor. And it really doesn't matter whether it was in the basement or whether it's in your basement. Exactly. And it might be. And it just acts like a, you know, it looks like a normal part of the system that you're on.

So this is a concept would be, hey, let somebody else buy that. Now, the interesting thing would be when people start letting you rent this per minute. So for the people that only want to play a video game a couple of times a month, if you don't want to have a full subscription, that if you have people charge you more. But if you could just do it for a minute would be interesting as well. But it does make sense.

So they have a free tier as well, but you have to wait in line for availability of the free computer assets. but you could certainly test this out for free without spending a dime. I'm testing it right now. I don't honestly, I don't think I really need this service, but it's a neat service.

It it essentially allows you to just bring a cheap anything laptop or a mac, for that matter, and then still be able to play, high end video games at full resolution, anywhere you are, as long as the bandwidth is there. I mean, the intriguing thing is this is kind of taking us back to the concept that we originally started with, because I remember when, the first dumb terminal that came into my house was fairly early on, the company my dad was working for. Don't insult her like that.

It was, you know, a company that sold flooring. And one of the biggest issues, as you can imagine, would be as the sales person rather than constantly calling in and be like, hey, do we have this in stock? Do we have this in stock? Well, you have this terminal, which was nothing. It could do nothing if it was not connected to the mothership. Yeah, but this is the concept behind like, these Chromebooks and things like that. It to go with very little.

Yeah. Locally it just has to basically be able to use a web browser. And the beauty here is that you could go I could walk into Gene's house if the snake doesn't attack me and log into my computer, which would be in the cloud. Yeah. So so it's the same wherever the same kind of concept, except it's living in in their servers, in their cloud. And, from testing it out yesterday, I was shocked at how good the images looked.

Now you can also in the advanced mode, you can control the frame rate, the size of the screen and the, the actual bandwidth of the video you're saving. So I maxed out the video to 70 megs. so 70 Meg stream is. I mean, you could you could do a lot with that because your, your typical stream for 1080p, like on Netflix is about four megs or less. Twitch, if you're watching somebody, it's usually a six Meg stream, and this has a max limit of seven zero 70.

Yeah. Which is more than my upload bandwidth. there you go. So it's a it's going to be able to send a lot of data to you very quickly. And as a result, you can have very quick, twitchy movement on there. And it does not feel at all like it's slow and it still looks like 4K. The one thing that I will say that is noticeable is when you're playing the game locally, and there's fast motion like like let's say you're sweeping from left to right.

Looking around, everything is still very sharp and clear and and focus on this much as you would anticipate, because it's using some kind of compression algorithm for video generation. It's basically creating a video of your game. There is a more of a softness to images when there's fast movement. and then as soon as you stop moving fast, everything snaps into sharpness again. Well, what? There's a little bit of that.

Yeah. One of the killer things would be if you're using this for video editing. Yeah. Because all you have to do is upload your file. But then while you're working on it, it's on this super computer with the super fast GPU. So you don't your rendering will be way faster. Yeah. Although even then, like a mac mini can render multiple 4K streams in real time. So that's not really a big deal though the windows machines are still a little bit behind that, but nobody does that for video editing.

A lot of people do. I mean, they probably shouldn't. I mean, I'm pissed because I decided that I wanted the windows take, especially now that, the other day my parents are like all of a sudden there's like a, like a fucking horse on the wallpaper of their windows machine, and it's like, really fucking windows. Whatever. You know, again, all of this push to put things on people's desktops, in the ads and all this shit that they're adding in, getting very annoying.

But since I decided I want to get a, a mac studio, it was like, oh, M4 is coming soon. It's like, well, I'm not buying a fucking M2, and I'll have to wait till next year for the M4 to come out because I'm like, I'm not buying the fucking M2. No, on the M4, it's coming in like six months now. You know, there's never an into that. I know it's a constant, but it's like, I just don't want to be caught in the at the end of the cycle because Apple doesn't really like discount to stuff.

It was like, hey, the new ones out, this shit's 50% off. I'd be like, I mean, I'm 50% off. but no, they charge you full price no matter what. I want the M4. Yeah, more or less. I want their deals to be have. Give me the M4. Okay. Send me a nice M4. Jean, get Elon. You'll get the I am for. I'm happy enough with my M3. Well, that's because that's the. Well they do have some. M4 is out now don't they. The M4 like a little laptop

but the M3 are nice. But my M3 is perfectly fine. The the first generation M chips were a little wonky. A little wonky, but M2 three, I guess for now they're all good. I want the M4 baby I wanted I want that M4 action now. Okay. Yeah. It's yeah, we are not sponsored by Apple, but we could be. No real, because Microsoft sucks, but I have them to briefly write while I was at least. So yeah, for two years. But I still have the old up. What is this, silly as a video card in this old Dell?

It's not even that old. Like three years old was like, what, a 1661 tie or something. So it's like, yeah, yeah. When I go, hey, render, it's like, jeez, this is going to take a while. I don't know why you haven't bought like one of the newer in videos. Just update the video card. Pop and pop. They don't cost as much. If I would just go with the top end so I can create 1800 bucks, create some AI images of Scarlett Johansson. Yeah. 1800. And the wife pulled it out.

I told her she was pulling a dream the other day. I really. She was looking for, some music to put on a device so they could play it at work. And I got the. Yeah. What, these, like, the guy from New Orleans. And I'm like, really? This is where I'm like, this is like Jean being like, oh, yeah, the girl in the movie, you know, the one. And that's always Scarlett Johansson. But I'm like, oh, Harry Connick Jr. She's like, yes. Like, well, see, this is still this is

you realize you enabled this behavior, right? No. Because I when you say, oh yeah, you know, the guy from New Orleans, I'm like, oh, it's Harry Connick Jr. when you're like, oh girl. And I'm like, oh, go scarjo. Yeah, great. it's way easier. We are a wealth of knowledge. And you're going by we know we yes I do. It's the royal rule. We. Why did the Polish gamer get kicked out of the closet? Cloud gaming service for be. They got kicked out of the closet for a different reason.

Polish gamer got kicked out of the cloud gaming service because he kept trying to install windows on the cloud. That's. That's not even a joke. Whoever this is now. Yeah, I, I think CSB out to chime in here and, report this is a, a clear violation of his name. Yes. The CSB started drinking, though that could be the question. How did he I don't know, this could be why. I mean, we explain a lot. Yeah. CSB making Polish jokes. That would certainly spin a lot.

He would be exactly the last thing you'd expect from him. Yeah. Now I do. You know, CSB is getting ready to travel. So, he is going out on the road. CSB satellites tracking him. I can't guarantee you the quality of the programing. They're the better. And then they're like one of the. And I was all in on paying the 30 bucks or whatever to Super Tone which is the company that makes the really cool plug in that I like that gets rid of the things like the, you know, crinkling noises and all that.

CSB you want to check out the super tone shift, which real time turns your voice into an AI voice without using the remnants of your voice, if that makes any sense. That makes some sense. It is not just changing the pitch, it's like it takes it in and processes it. And I don't know if it's, oh, it uses somebody else's AI voice. So it's basically it's doing speech to text to speech. Yes. Or, or just direct speech to speech somehow.

But I would guess it maybe it is going speech to text, but it has to. However it's working, it is exactly what CSB had been looking for which would give me. Yeah opportunity to do you but with a different voice. Yes. You know the but that would be useful for as real time translation also true. Yes. You could speak English and it'll spit out Japanese in real time. Yeah, I think we're getting there. The only issue with that is it can't be truly real time, because

the composition of sentences in different languages is very different. Yes. So unless you're translating word for word, which you and then you sound really ridiculous. Yeah, yeah. That's let's like Google Translate, which is a whole game in and of itself. It's like, let's see how much this is going to get screwed up by Google. Although Google Translate has been getting better, but initially it was just doing void word for word. Now I think they're getting better at it.

But So you have to wait until that whole sentence is complete and then translate the sentence into the other language. Right. To try to understand the context. This is this is why it's so difficult to be a human real time translator for like, political speeches and things that Putin does.

Because because you have to read the sentence you're you're you're trying to translate in as close to real time as possible to what the person saying, but you don't want to get the context wrong because you haven't heard the end of the sentence yet. And so it's it's like, yeah, there has to be a buffer in your brain of roughly a sentence as you're listening things for the first time in real time of somebody speaking and then translating it. I can do that to some extent from Russian to English.

I cannot do that from English to Russian, because English language has a lot of, special rules, like things that only apply once or twice and you don't know which application it is until the sentence is fully completed. In Russian, it's easier because language is more standardized. So you can start really translating faster or add a smaller amount of data that you have. But this makes things once this technology gets there. And this is where at least show a lot of promise on that kind of front.

It would be very interesting if you could, you know, again, like you said, CCP's traveling. You know, if I could go into Russia because they want gringos like us to come in because we don't like this neoliberal. Oh, yeah, we should mention that, which is a very interesting thing. But if I can hilarious if I can get Russia and basically where earbuds speak as well. Let's listen for the Russians here, the translations. Yeah, yeah.

And the other way around being able to speak and have that then you know, granted you would need a device. It's a lot harder. You have to hear some granny sitting on the bench talking to each other. Who's that trek over there and who let them in this country, though, like that street used to live here. That what I was referring to, clearly. I know that's why it was fun. Of the two of us, the more stretchy looking one is definitely you.

Yeah, but I'm eight foot tall though, so that's exactly right. Short isn't short. He was. No, no. He's dead. No, he's not short. Why was I thinking Shrek was short? I know he's greenish. The cat is kind of short. Maybe. Maybe. But I love the fact you sent that over. And I was like, is this a joke? So I did a little bit more research on that. Not a joke. No. Russia is like, come on down. We want the, real all the people. There's a lot of them.

And it's not just the Democrats who were like, I better leave the country.

If Trump selected, there's a lot of them that are saying the same thing about Kamala. And, there's it's not even Kamala. Look at Europe. I think that's really the biggest target audience that Americans it's Europeans, because. So what we're talking about is Russia did a press release saying that they've now created special visa classes for refugees, which is, you know, something that happens in a lot of times in countries.

But the thing that's so unique about this is the refugee class are basically people with conservative values that want to escape the liberal hell holes that they're living in. So the US is basically accepting criminals from Latin America, to cross over into the border with no documentation, free phone and $6,000 in, in a credit card. Russia is accepting people that don't like that.

But if you're sick and tired of crazy laws in your country that require you to, say somebody's gender or go to jail, right, well, you could go to Russia where they don't have loss like that. It the irony is Russia is definitely more capitalist in the US right now. There's no two ways about that. And, arguably it's a more religious and traditional values country at this point as well, which is a fairly new thing for them.

That's certainly in post Soviet Union, where, Russia was officially an atheist country. But the Christianity really like, regained a foothold fast. And I think something like 78% of the population considers themselves Christians in Russia, just like over Europe is like 4%. Well, yeah, because they're all in on the atheism and let's, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's live with that kind of world.

So they're, they're now officially sick because normally if you want to get a visa, you know, you, you it's a limited tourist visa you have to provide. Where are you going to be staying all that jazz. And if you want a longer term, like a business visa, you're going to be working there. There's more hoops to jump through. So they're creating initially you can come in on a three month effectively no questions asked. Visa to just live there for the three month period. Right.

but they've also got programs in place that will accelerate your citizenship and do something which honestly, I don't think is a good idea, but they're doing it, which is remove the requirement that currently exists for knowledge of the Russian language and the Russian history.

So if you prior to this point, wanted to move to Russia from anywhere else in the world, one of the things you'd have to do before I became a citizen is learn about the history of the country and learn the language enough that you're passable in it. I think both of those are reasonable and should be the case in this country as well. Instead, they're putting out exams for U.S. citizenship in other languages now, which is crazy stupid. They should.

I think it's interesting that they're doing it for the for the trial period, because I think what you'll get is, oh, you like it here? Well, now leave it. Go do this and then come back, you know, which is the way it should be.

So but by removing those requirements, they're essentially saying, like, if you find that culturally you're a good fit for our non liberal country, we're going to make it easier for you to come here initially, and we're going to make it easier for you to stay here and become a citizen. I think that that's that's frankly a very creative way of getting a highly qualified workforce through.

Because what they're saying is, if you're in Europe and you see England effectively starting to become a caliphate, where they will arrest people for saying mean things about Muslims, and they'll put them in prison and they will do nothing when, Muslim immigrants raped children. If you don't like that, move to a country that has the opposite laws where they, they take, things like, pedophilia very seriously. They are. Those are death sentences.

They're not like, oh, you have to tell your neighbors that you're a sex, right, criminal or whatever. No, no, no, no, that's a death sentence. in that there's a lot of things that if you look at the party platform of the Republican Party that actually align very closely with laws in Russia, current on the books laws now, not everything. And I don't want to make it a commercial for, hey, you two could move to Russia. There's plenty of things that, are still better in the West than Russia.

Culturally speaking, though, they're absolutely, on the same side as I think most of the people listening to this show, which is that as the U.S. has been moving further and further to the left into wacko socialist territory, Russia has been moving further to the right into the, the capitalist, you can say the, the equation.

So like, for example, corporate tax in Russia, I can't remember it was 8% or 10%, but it's it's literally half of what it is in the US because they, they think it's important to encourage entrepreneurship. Well, but most people will tell you well but it's run by a dictator. Putin's a killer. He will and I don't know what the truth of the matter is there.

I would, I would say, I know is the Russian elections were less contested, meaning fewer people thought they were faked than the American election. So that's tell you something. Yeah, that's definitely a side by side comparison people should do. And see what boots on the ground actually looks like. We talked about like maybe about a year ago the guy walking around the Russian mall and it's like I don't know doesn't look like there's yeah everything is still available. Everything is still there.

The brand name is what pulled out. Right? Because remember, most stores in other countries of U.S brands, they're not really owned by the brand. They're essentially franchisees. Yeah, it's a licensing thing. Yeah. So like do you want to have a McDonald's in Russia? You pay McDonald's a fee for that up. You have everything branded, but you're not even getting ingredients coming there. Like nothing is coming from the U.S except for branding material.

Everything else is sourced locally, or maybe coming from China just like it is here. It's coming from China. and so when the brands pulled out, they effectively ended their contract. The stores didn't go anywhere, you know, they just changed the name of McDonald's or what used to be KFC or KFC or whatever to something that is generally a play on words. So it's even obvious of what the store was and then continue selling the exact same products.

And I know one of the things that one of the commenters pointed out in that video about a year ago we were watching, is that, like most things have been rebranded off of McDonald's, to whatever the Russian name for it is, and it's, you know, it's like Burger King or something. But, but in Russia, obviously, except for the straws. So clearly they had way too many straws and they weren't going to throw them away. So they're still using McDonald's straws, even though it's not a McDonald's anymore.

Yeah, but free straws. So that makes sense. Yeah. I mean, they're not free. Somebody's patron, somebody's in there. You gotta throw them away. And somebody had to do the thing with the thing. So the fact that they're actually doing this, I think is kind of ballsy. I don't think it'll be a massive number of people to take him up on it, but nonetheless, you got to say, well, they've got a point. Yeah. The way the West has been moving, it's it's further and further into turning your kids.

Okay. I mean, it's not the frogs anymore. Getting turned gay. It's the kids getting turned gay. Well, there has been a war on religion in the United States for a long time. And you can see the demographics. People are at least saying they are less religious. That has taken on the, you know, big lie. UCSB would say there's I don't think there's any question that the United States went from being a fairly religion based population to one that is quickly going more atheist.

I think this is one of the reasons why you see a lot of the problems that you have. And it's interesting because this comes from you know, even my wife, who doesn't have, you know, a big religious side is like, but I want the people in charge to have that moral compass.

You know, this is what we're kind of missing out on, is that there's even people who wouldn't consider themselves religious and are like, well, I still want the people with the moral compass in charge, not the ones going, let's kill the babies. Yeah, yeah. For sure. So I just got a message. it's from clearly a fake CSB saying it was me sending the silly Instagrams. They to empty out my wallet. KSP would never empty his wallet. yeah, it's clearly fake.

can't believe the real CSB would empty as well. it doesn't sound right. CSB blinked four times. If your license is in danger, I just noticed I didn't even put the live tag on. So, I mean, for the 2.0, that's, there's too many plates spinning at once. But we're on. That's all we really need. there's all we really need. We're getting ready to move to a Moscow, getting our stuff packed up. Speak for yourself. But I'm not. I put you down as my, contact there, like, oh, who is who should plus one.

Right. Well, you should. We, know you're like, you know, if you need that recommendation. If you need. Oh, yeah. But Jim, that, like, who's, he'll vouch for me. So if Vlad calls, you'd be like, oh, yeah, that guy's great. I don't know, man. You're still music. They love doing that in the Soviet Union. Well, no, they don't steal music. It's not stealing if you just don't believe in copyrights, it's kind of the same thing, isn't it? I am so Russian, I can't even believe.

I mean, that you're so Russian. You're. You're abiding by Russian laws. Yes, I already am. So that's the beauty of it. I don't know if you were ever on this thing, but back probably over a decade ago, probably 15 years ago, when Russia passed their first set of copyright updates, which essentially said that, libraries have the ability to distribute digital content, just like they have the ability to distribute physical content to anybody that wants to borrow something.

And there were all kinds of library websites popping up for movies and music, and you could literally get anything music or movie that was from the West. Right? And it was in the form of a library. And you have to become a member for like $1, and then you can download anything you want within the library. They were doing that with legitimate libraries here as well. Yes, but it was all the DRM stuff.

And I know there are ways to get around the DRM, but their whole concept was the same, which was very odd. So if you had the audiobook, you know, your latest book and it was on audio, well, even though you could technically lend it out to a billion people at once because it's just a digital file, they were still going by the limiting like, well, we have three, and if three people have it out, we can't do it more earlier. Well, Russia didn't do that.

So just like everybody take the out loaning in quotes allowed material left and right. And I think that that, I mean, I use that because that was legal. You know, I'm abiding by, by the laws of the country that's providing the service that's totally legal. you know, kind of like buying cocaine from a country where it's legal. That's legal. Right? Sure. I mean, as long as you don't try to bring it into a country

where it's illegal. Brittney Griner, you know, you would keep it on servers running in Europe and then simply watching the video stream from that server. Oh, no. No, but that if you're watching it in the country where it's illegal. Then it must be illegal. No, I don't think so. Even though it's on the server where it's completely legal. But yeah. Tell me anyway the, the so that was kind of the first time that you could utilize Russian websites.

when, when all these brands started pulling out due to Biden's sanctions on Russia. during the Ukraine stuff. Yes. Russia, in response to sanctions, had removed the US, as a, authority for copyright, right. They're like, well, we're not going to effectively what they said is no copyright by any countries that are sanctioning us will be enforced in Russia, which meant the movie houses were showing the latest Hollywood movies. Yeah. Before they're out.

Yeah. Hollywood. Whenever you could get a baby. Yeah. Whenever you get completely legitimately. I mean, like, legally. So it's, Yeah, it's it's interesting because it that's the thing that a lot of people that just call out Putin as a dictator, I, I don't think they know what the word means because, a dictator is not just somebody who's in office for a long time. It's somebody that, given the opportunity, the population would removed from office and replaced with somebody else quickly.

Right. Not the case with Putin. He has the support of the vast majority of people in Russia. And even if you think the elections are rigged and that totally legit and we don't know like the who knows how any countries elections are, they certainly can't say the US elections are not rigged. We know what we know that they are. yeah, multiple levels. Now, the question well would be is the cheating high enough at such a rate that it's causing a different result? That I don't think it's been proven?

We can say I think so, yeah, but but you don't have it that you can point to one thing. Although you're still finding things, stories still coming out like. Well, there's how many voters are still on the rolls that they know are illegals in a bunch of different swing states. It's like, well, this would show you that anybody that will stand out there and tell you there is no improprieties in the elections is like, bullshit.

The thing is, the well, let me finish up dependent on that, get back to the voting thing. It he he is have consistently higher support numbers in polls than US presidents have in Russia. Some including including poll. Yeah. Some Russians, including polls conducted by non Russian companies. So you can't say well they're all just bullshit. You know they're just making the results. Well okay. So the same polling company that tells you that that Biden's numbers are 31%.

It's and Putin's numbers are 66%. Right. Same company, same methodology, same equipment. Okay. I mean, if you don't want to believe one, you want to believe the other one, that's fine. I think the more likely Biden's numbers are actually lower than that, but everybody all of a sudden loves Kamala. Yeah. Well, who who was, incidentally, by polls, the lowest late vice president in the history of all vice presidents since the invention of polling. Yes. And I didn't watch any of her speech.

Did the cackle come out? That was the biggest question. I didn't watch anything with. You gotta find out. We'll go on the next no agenda because they were betting. Adam said at least three times. Jake didn't think so, but she's reading off the teleprompter. Were there any Kamala tackles? That's what I want to know. I did watch the interview last night that, J.D. Vance went on Bill O'Reilly for like 20 minutes. That was an interesting conversation. And the O'Reilly shut up.

And after some talk, believe it or not. Yeah, he was, Wow. Everybody did ask him some questions that people hadn't heard the answers before. I haven't watched this. Sorry. yet, but I don't know if you have, the interview with Trump that that comedian, the hillbilly guy, did one something Van Doren. I saw the video pop up in the feed, but, yeah, I haven't watched it either. Yeah, that's about all I've seen as it popped up in the feed. But to me, it was like, what the hell? What? How is still on?

He was like a second tier comic podcast interviewing, Trump and Joe Rogan isn't well. Did I mention Trump is going to be on our show next week for everybody? Want to up to that. People were so pissed off yesterday that Beyonce or Taylor Swift were at the DNC after especially the Beyonce. I guess it was leaked that she was performing and everybody's like, oh, these fuckers just lied to get us to listen. It's like, well, of course they did. Course they did. You bought it. Come on.

Yeah. If you listen to those performers that you mentioned are morons. Yeah. And I don't think that like Beyonce said she was going to be there because unless Beyonce you know if you follow it's easy to follow these people on the the social medias. If the person themself didn't say we were going to be at the convention, why would you believe anybody. Yep. Just people do because people are dumb. Yeah. But did you see that ad for Tamla.

the you know white middle class voters for Kamala Trump or color Trump. Oh I, I've got to tell Trump. No I can't watch. yeah. That's you know, that was the first point that came out on and X is new. I that just got updated instantly. Oh, man. yeah, I saw that we have access to within that the lower tier was a, a Trump married to Kamala. That's like a bad 1950s sitcom. That's like the first shit that came to mind of people wanting to do images on, Alex instead of Father Knows Best.

You know, it's like what Trump knows best. Something like that. Trump. That'd be great. Trump was alive and back then, so was around. Yeah. He's not going to be on our show next week.

Just to be clear, that was a joke. That was, you know, a joke. And here I was thinking I was going to prepare my questions for Mr. Trump so we could probably find somebody that does a good Trump impersonation. Yeah. Like can I yeah, probably could I guess. Thanks to CSB for all of the abuse today. He is our one and only producer for today's show. That is so sad. We should just stop the show right now. Never do it again. Never come back. Just give it up. Again. Give me your.
