130: Salty Toe

Do you want to post about it? Yes, well, of course I want to post about it because I am podcasting who I. Can help you with your. Shit. Yeah. We're hitting our marks. We're sending up Spartans. Unrelenting. 130 up there and on the Legion of Doom 11. This is two hours of a roller coaster ride. How's the gouging? It's wonderful. It's great. Okay. Health issues already got that bingo card out. Yeah. The bingo cards in action. Got to have the bingo cards out for unrelenting.

Otherwise, it's no fun. No, no. And neither is gout. I've never had it. I've heard it is quite painful. Oh, yeah. It's a little bit of a flare up. It's a good thing you have not. Because, I don't wish anyone. Yeah. It's really annoying in a painful way. It's like. Well, it often happens, like in in your extremities. Right. That's the, the first place, like, the only place I've ever had. It is my big toes. It's interesting. And it usually only happens in one side. Only one time. That's weird.

Yeah, yeah, it's like something in the blood, right? Is. Well, yeah. It's, all it really is actually not that complicated. All it is, is a crystallization of uric acid out of your blood. And the crystals that it forms are extremely pointy and sharp. Oh. And, so what happens is they end up poking at, the blood vessels and damaging them. Well, that's not good poking at your nerve endings. Which is not good.

And then, the reason happens in the feet and the big toes in particular is because that is the furthest part away from your heart. Now, that makes sense. And that what that means is the speed of the blood going through the capillaries at that point is the slowest in your body. Yeah. Speed that up. Yeah. Believe it or not, your, like, the blood does not pump at the same speed throughout your entire body. There's actually no traffic. Yeah. That's highways. There is traffic. Exactly.

And you were off the highway by that point. Things are slowing down. You're going around the curve. You got to take it nice and easy. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Leg. Take it nice and, nice and easy. Goddammit. You got the B12, you got the Starbucks? Yeah. The Starbucks. Yeah. I'm just going with good old liquid death.

No sponsorships on the show. But if you are from Starbucks or Liquid Death. Yeah. Feel free to hit us up. Absolutely. The 40 year anniversary of the beginning of Miami Vice. Can you believe it? It's amazing. I saw Don Johnson. He still looks pretty damn good for his age. Well, you know, men tend to age better. That's what I've heard. That's why you have a very strict ceiling on the age of the women. You will date. Which means you'll probably never date again.

Yeah, well, we'll see the way out going. Maybe that might be. I mean I don't see that. Not really concerned with what I'm dealing with right now but Yeah it's annoying in the sense that it, I've had this happen about once every 4 or 5 years. The summer after. But it also means I've had it happen like five times in the past. And, you know, because I'm like 24, right? And it's recurring quicker now, you say, but it seems to be accelerating. That's not a good sign.

So now it's be like every three days. Oh, God. No. That was nothing, kid. The, the, again, I mean, once every few years is, about as often as you care to have the singing at all. But it's it lasts about a week, give or take. And it's a, It's kind of, a couple of days of increasing sensitivity, in the total, as the stuff builds up about 3 or 4 days of don't touch your foot at all, or you'll feel an electric jolt for about 3 or 4 days. Ooh, that's fine.

And then a couple days of just sort of like a sorto. So it does go away by itself. It helps to just do nothing but drink distilled water to make it go a little faster. Kick your foot up. Relax. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to be moving your foot anywhere. I mean, running a marathon. One time I had gout while I was in the business trip, and, it was the biggest, it is just a total waste. I basically spent the entire trip in bed in the hotel room. Sounds like harder than you're making. It has to be.

Yeah, I know. Right. Like it when it was trip and spent the whole time in bed. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Didn't make a single meaning. Didn't do anything. Just. And furthermore, one time I had, some opiates prescribed for it. I mean, just for them. This is like, what the pain is that you had. Oh, it's the worst pain you ever felt. Really? Oh, absolutely. It is literally like putting a, electric battery to a nerve. It is, very direct.

So you're, like, looking at that butcher knife, you're looking at the big toe, and you're thinking. This is the only thing that ever bothers me. Do I really need it? I mean, yeah, fair enough. I'm sure some people have thought that as well. But during the course of it, your big toe also swells up to about double the size. Oh, well, that's fun. Try going through the TSA line with that if. Yeah, yeah. It's, it it's not a fun experience.

And, of course, I was going to be traveling today, and now that's all canceled, because the stupid thing, the gout. Gotcha. I mean, we are taking next week off anyway, but yeah. So we have a beautiful day off coming up. You can rest. You can kick back. I thought it was just going to be kismet. Like oh Gene's out of town. It's my wife's birthday. She's already taken that Thursday and Friday. Yeah that's great. Yeah yeah but no no the gout had to come and get you.

I know, I know, I'm, I'm not a happy camper a thing.

And like you said that it seemed to. Sorry because the last time I had, I think it was about 18 months ago. And the time for that was about five years ago. So it's, a little too soon. So six months? Yeah. I can't really point to what would trigger it. And typically the thing that I've been able to track down to it being triggered is, you know, I had some, I had, like, a lot of injuries or I had, like, a lot of pastrami sandwiches or something, but basically it's nitrates. It's the bottom line.

So if you eat nitrates, the risk of cow, increases very greatly. So any salts are kind of an issue for you. Like, salt isn't the big deal. It's really more of the, of the preservative stuff. So you can't have it. You have to avoid it. Yeah. And like six months from now, you'll be having another because that's what, like 16 months down to 18. Then you're probably going to go down to six. You're not helping. Just try to avoid it. You got to be like never going to eat that stuff.

That was the beauty, man. I lost so much weight when I had the gall stone. Oh yeah. Is eating anything with fat in it cause the flare up. If I didn't I was fine. But if I did I paid for it. Until it just basically got stuck. Always on and it had to come out. But if you want yeah. You want the incentive. If you're like the next time you look at that, pound of bacon and you think about the gout pain, you're like. Right, right.

Well, if you get, cured bacon, interestingly, that doesn't do diddly squat for it. Interesting. Yeah. It's only the cured stuff that that affects the probability of it triggering. I guess the other thing to do is just to accelerate the speed of blood. Yes, because it definitely has to do with the slow down, because if the blood's moving fast, then the, the, uric acid isn't going to crystallize. A little bit of a blood thinner. Do anything or, Well, I don't know.

I mean, I don't think to have to like blood, I think I have. I got no blood. It's good blood. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's, Oh, and that's totally not a Russian accent, by the way. I know, that's right. It's good. Well, I don't know how to do a Russian accent. I need to say you've never heard Boris and Tasha. I don't remember what they sounded like. Man, I know it was over the top, but it's been probably 20 or 30 years since I've seen an episode of, try 40.

Rocky and Bullwinkle. Yeah. I mean, you don't know. When I watch Rocky and Bullwinkle, I do. We had a camera installed. I think I did find it at one point to download the whole series, though, so maybe that was. Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah, I think that's out of copyright, so that's totally legal now. Even better. I mean, do you have the Miami Vice on Blu ray or DVD? Because if you're going to just be kicking back, celebrate those 40 years, right.

There's a few things that its its 40th anniversary of Miami Vice, the greatest, TV show, people wearing white pants. Well, and it's also, I mean, Don Johnson. I saw a quick two minute blurb from him, on the YouTubes, and he was talking about how much you see the vibe and the way they shot that show being used constantly now in movies and television, you think about it. Oh, absolutely. Groundbreaking show.

It was the first show to broadcast in stereo, which the people today are like what, you had Young Hammer making the music for it. What a great team. He's a great composer, but I remember having to get the one. My dad got the box, but there was a song we hadn't any NBC 50 inch television. And you had to have a breakout box in order to decode the stereo. And I remember when that episode hit it was like whoa. All of a sudden the TV sounded like yeah it was much more real.

It's like and that was a huge difference is that of course they went to all the surround sound and all that bullshit, which I still don't even like surround sound that television shows very. I do, I just like I think it works really good. I think it well, so it works good. But also I have a, a ten foot screen, so what have you that helps me work. Yeah, I have to just re hook. I haven't even hooked up the back speakers again since we had the carpet done in the house.

Because the big JBL's in front man there enough. They are pumping that wattage right at. Yep. Yeah. But you're blind. Not deaf though. You have a no I can hear. Well no that's fine. But it's like the problem is I where the back speakers are because the theater seats are pretty much up against the back wall. So I mean, it's in the dam.

So you got the theater seats up against the wall, the TV in front of it, up against the wall, the speakers, the only place to put them are on the sides of where the chair are.

So it's not really behind you. I really should probably get a small set of satellite speakers that I can hang from the ceiling. Yeah, but then it wouldn't be matching the JBL's. I like a nice match set. That that's really the rationale, though, is the way you get the same speed. Everything sounds the same. Whether it's the L7 in the front or the L, but at the L one, I think we're the small ones.

Yeah, but your your sound coming out of your surrounds is nothing like your sound coming out of the front. No, it could be. Exactly. Because you can do all channel stereo and you could do all channel stereo. That's not surround. No, of course it's not how you understand the frequencies in the surround. Do I mean, really you, the foot? You should have is, if you want to go that route, there's just have a speaker in each corner of the room, the same one. That would be awesome.

Yeah. Like the, Yeah. One of those. So Bose's is to be that everyone needs to have for their surround. Yes. The Bose cube custom mass. Yeah. Those were the big and they sucked. No, that's not what I'm talking about. No, there were there was like, oh, you're not you're not talking. The small Bose. No, they were the small Bose. Now the really I gotta find the picture of the two little cubes that you could, like, turn. Yeah, that was the acoustic mass.

Okay. Those the bit I didn't like the sound of. They also at that point had the Bose I think they were seven oh ones are nine oh ones which were those were not small. No. Those were awesome. Yeah. Those are actually. Yeah. For Bose that was the ultimate in the Bose sound. Yeah a customer 15. That's right. Yeah they had different I think they were different iterations.

But the acoustic bass man I paid for my honeymoon because JBL at the time came out with the competing speakers, which were about the same size. And that was my go to man. I sold so many JBL. Is that how you started that there's like oh yeah. Both sucks. Yeah. Let me show you these JBL is they're much better. Well that's why I learned the Bose sucks because I didn't do anything to unlevel the playing field I just put in the music.

I'm sure you maybe you could have found music that was better on the Bose, but for me, the stuff that I had been using already to demo just sounded so much better on the JBL. And I think JBL was smart. I think they came in at a slightly, you know, like $50 lower price point than the Bose. But the JBL rep was cool. They had a nice pair you know spice back in the day. Oh yeah. That man speaker sweet sound with for me it made them sound great.

I mean I really I did prefer them but I pushed them even harder because the specs that they offered, it was the only time anybody had ever done a snap before that was, retroactive meaning, you know, if you sold between 1 and 5, they gave you 25 bucks.

Well, if you sold between 5 and 10, they gave you 50 for all of them. So the minute you hit the next one, it bumped it up. Oh, yeah. I think it could do it. Yeah. I think I was like, second, maybe third in all of Circuit City. I mean they sent me a check was like 3600 bucks. Damn. So back in that day. Yeah, I mean, that was just for selling all them JBL speakers, man. Yeah. Well, we say JBL paid for my honeymoon. And it was a Disney, so it wasn't cheap, man.

Disney World. Wow. Now you can't like they they know. The reason I brought them up too is I remember they used to come in both black and white. Yes. They were so diverse. Yeah. JBL only in like a metallic gray when they came out with theirs. A very dark, maybe more of a like a cobalt. I mean, it was just, I, I had the, the best of the cheap speakers. I had, minimum seven RadioShack, maybe, if I worked at RadioShack. So I know the minimum speakers. They're they're really good for the price, man.

Yeah. I don't know who made them or where they were. They were super heavy. Like you couldn't believe something that small weighed that much. And they they had a very widespread sound wave before I had a wife. Yeah. Speakers are weird. They were dead. You can't really tell a lot by a speaker without listening there in the and the Bose. This was the I don't know if this.

And the thing is it it somewhat doesn't matter what the speaker itself sounds like, as long as it can reproduce the frequencies without distortion, without you. Right. Playing with the EQ, you really should tune your room. And I remember there was a, there's a place called Wizard Academy here in Austin, and, I used to hang out there all the time. In fact, they still have a room named after me with, a, sign on the door, but, I remember sitting in there, in the, offices table anywhere.

One of the guy's offices there. And, I said, man, you know, and he's got a stereo in there and playing music and, like, your your room just does not sound good, man. We need to tune your room. And he's like, hey, thanks for volunteering. Or he's like, what do you mean to the room? And now he knows he's he was a problem musician. Like a touring musician for ten years. And so he knew what I was talking about. And, I'm like, okay. So I went and bought a, and Q specifically for that purpose.

You know, it comes with the microphone. So the the goal here is to basically take the anomalies of the placement of the speakers and the materials in the room out of the room, so that what's left is the sound as it was intended to be heard like through a good set of headphones. Right. Well, a lot of people don't realize how much of an effect it has on the bass on the low end. Depending where you place those speakers.

The high end, yeah, this much, but the higher that has to be pointing at where you're sitting as well. Because if you point that just a few degrees away, then the sound's dead. Yeah, exactly. So you know what I'm talking about. So, so I had this gizmo and then it was about, 40 channels and you would be, is have a microphone placed where you're going to be sitting, and then you're tweaking it as it's making different frequencies of sound. Right?

Playing white noise at different frequencies to, to adjust the, the levels at each frequency for the location that you're sitting. Now, they have ones that'll do it automatically these days. I was too cheap to spend the money, and that's why I got a manual one, because I knew what I was doing. I also picked up, the computer software to run the laptop. That would then verify that that was the case as well. We have to test. You have to test and verify. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And figure out how wide is the sweet spot and all that kind of stuff. So got the room tuned. It was great. It was perfect if you sat in that one spot. Well, it's a fairly large spot. It was about a, seven by seven foot area that that was sweet. Nice. Because it was literally in the middle of the room and, and the room is. Yeah, it's decent sized room. But it had a lot of bounce surfaces that a lot of wood. It had a. Well, yeah. Reverb is we'll what? Reverb is the enemy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It has a boat's wheel. It had, bookcases. It had a, a bar shipped over from Ireland that had a lot of things. And so yeah, it was, it was kind of fun, but there was definitely noticeable difference for about two weeks when I came in and I was like, what the hell happened to the sound that went over? And somebody had completely messed with the EQ? Oh, and because some moron thought that an IQ is something that you play with to make the music sound better, quote unquote, right? Man.

Like dumb ass, this is a roommate to you. So I did it one more time, and, not not being a happy camper while I was doing it. Did it one more time, and then we put, like, something in front of this device so people shouldn't be touching it. And that lasted about three more weeks, and then somebody screwed it up again. And, at that point, I was like, okay, I give up. This is too much of a pain in the ass.

Do you need that will make you and then just have another one you have to lock the damn room in, cuz what you have to do.

Right? And if somebody wants a separate set of knobs for bass and treble, that's fine. But don't touch the EQ. It's not there to make it good for your ears, it's there to make the room neutral. No, I what's makes me mad, I guess. Not good for me. And you know exactly what they did. I mean, it's yeah, I don't even have to tell you because it's way up treble. Yep. You got it. That's the easiest way to make things sound better. I've had people comment on the rocket battery.

Oh, because, you know, the musicians that actually record this shit, and the producers and the audio mixers and the guys, they don't know what they're doing. So you got to do it at home yourself. Well, for the chyron things, especially radio broadcast, it helps. But for. Yeah, not as much for hey, Darren, why couldn't you just do this on the podcast before you send it out, instead of making everybody do it on their own device? Do what? Oh, can you talk about CSB?

No, I'm talking about you. I'm talking about that. It is a moronic thing to assume that you're going to make music sound better by tweaking it on your end in your headphones. No, I know what sounds good, baby. Yeah, I know what sounds good. I have good ears. I mean, I don't have good eyes, but I do have good ears and I don't completely hear. I don't think, hey, man, you got to get to know. I think you are. My point is it comes out produced. It's done. It's complete.

The only thing you ought to be doing is making sure that you have a neutral, flat level when you're listening to it, and you'll get what you're supposed to, what you're meant to get from the person making the damn music. See what I deal with bootlegs. And that is usually people who are just kind of trying to record things, and they're not great with them. I wouldn't be caught dead listening to bootleg. That sounds horrible live music, baby. It's the way it is.

Yeah. Live music sounds like shit, man. I want to be wearing headphones, standing in the back, listening to the Pro Mix. I don't want to be standing in the audience 18ft to the left and 46ft behind. You know that that's not the optimal location to listen to music. That can be an exit strategy for us. You should get together with like, Jack white or something and be like, fuck speakers, man. What you want to do is you want to beam this to a pair of headphones that are properly tuned in.

And then there's no actual sound in the room. Right. That would be exactly. Except for bass I think you need the bass cause you gotta feel the bass. Yes. Yeah. Headphones and bass are not great because it's half the bass is not what you hear with your ears. It's what you feel with the bones in your body. But you have to get the. That's why subwoofers now it's beautiful. You don't even have to connect the subwoofer. There's right there Bluetooth. Holy right. There's a whole bunch.

There are some that use proprietary, but the concept being the same, which is it's fast enough. The latency is now low enough. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you don't have to worry about running the wires cuz I did once. The. What's a good point? Bluetooth used to be really slow. You know, latency is not good. You don't want to see the explosion on the screen. And then in here, boom rates

is like you, you want to have that, on where you want to. But I remember when the, the speaker room at Circuit City, which if anybody remembers going to a Circuit City. Yeah, you had the separate little speaker room that had, how many pairs of speakers? Like 50 or something. The expensive ones. Right. And you can compare what they sound like, and you're like, oh, wow, these are so much better, right? This is how you know, this is how I sold JBL's over, but they're not better.

They're just tuned differently. They're not better. They're different. They're different still, some were better, but some were yeah, yeah, yeah, some more playfully and to be fair, Bose were never flat. They didn't have a flat set of speakers, saved their lives. They were always dq'd and they had a bass that was pronounced. Oh yeah. And a nice high end mids were always a little bit missing, which makes sense because you were dealing with a subwoofer and two very small drivers.

But even the, the 700 ones, the, the sound coming out of those, they're big feature in my opinion, was a lack of distortion at high volume. Oh yeah. Which thing? You could really crank those puppies up and put 200 watt through them and they still sound crisp. We tried the blow Will not blow, but we tried to push. The 901 comes out. Well, true, I mean that well, I mean, to be fair, the, I think it was KLM speakers.

They were like the really cheap ones that Circuit City always was giving away free. So we had to have them because they were giving them away free. And they were fine for like very cheap surround speakers. But then people would be like oh those are fine. Right. Can they just run those on my system from my bookshelf. So I'm not saying we did it, but every time a new pair of clubs came in we hooked it up to a receiver, maxed out the volume really went boop. Yep.

And then they sounded like oh oh yeah, those sound pretty good don't they, man. But the I think the nine oh ones, which were the ones with the like the really cool round base and then it was like a triangular, you know, meeting in the middle. So it was the widest in the middle and then kind of tapered off. And I think there were four drivers on the left side and four on the right, and they wanted to like bounce the shit off the walls.

This is where they started doing all of their those small acoustic mass with the positioning, but I think they were rated the nine on ones for 450. What a speaker is, what they can handle. Yep. I don't think we ever found anything even close enough to know be able to drive those to the maximum. But yeah, you want to talk volume there. They can put out volume. Yeah. And say sounding very crisp.

Yeah. They were basically stage speakers and they, you know, defer until you get into the, the audio file level equipment which Circuit City didn't sell. And well, none of those mass market people. So you'd have to go to a, a, specialty shop for those. But the prices just add one more zero across the board for everything. Right? And sometimes two zeros, you might get into Macintosh equipment and. Oh, yeah. And it's a ministering level of return. Yes. Yes, absolutely.

It's like well some people want to squeeze that that little tiny extra. I mean, I still love the JBL speakers. They retailed when I got them, which of course was before I was married. So this was 1990, maybe 92 or so that I got these. And at the time, the retail value per speaker was a grand. The cost on them was like, if I were to buy them through Circuit City, I think they were 450 bucks apiece. Yeah. And I got them directly from JBL for like some ungodly thing,

like 500 bucks for the pair. Wow. And it was great because they were delivered. They were they were so big. They weigh which compared to speakers, you know now which probably weigh 3 pounds, these things are like 80 pounds apiece. Right. It came out of semi, which was great cuz my parents lived on a cul de sac and oh yeah, that was I wasn't real happy about like, But now what? You getting the pallets delivered? Yeah. With speakers now. They still sound.

I always I've always really liked the Martin Logan's wolf. Yeah. And I've never barlinnie I, but I like how much have you spent on virtual spaceships and how much have you spent on wheels? Speaker I mean, now, not enough for Martin Logan's. But I've had. I swear to God, every single one of my friends has Martin Logan's. I'm, like, the only guy. I like them. I think they're super cool. And they would be what I would buy if I bought a new house first.

But I I've always I've always liked the sound, and I loved the way it looks as well. I think it's a very neat idea. If people don't know what they are. Martin Logan was the first company really popularized,

electro motion speakers, I think is what they call, their electrostatic. They're basically a, a very large mylar screen in front of a metallic grate that, when charged with electricity, will vibrate. So they're like, they don't have the traditional speaker cone and magnets set up that, that the whole, the, the, the whole screen that's about two feet by a foot just vibrates. Which is pretty damn cool.

Yeah, it's a neat effect, but it also changes the way the sound is produced, because normally, you know, the sound is is the movement of a spherical size. Earth size, single shape? Yes. Multiple. Driver. A paper driver, usually. And, it's just bouncing back and forth with a magnet. These things can reproduce frequencies, I think up to 44,000Hz. The, you know, they're ridiculously high. Yeah. The Neolithic costs $119,999.98 a pair. I mean, they could have rounded up to 120,000.

I'm just saying, I don't know if anybody's looking at this and, you know, you know, people don't. I just don't want to spend 120, but I'll spend 119. But I did 99, 99, 98. That seems absolutely reasonable. Yeah. We definitely need more donations to this show in order for you to be able to afford your, your speakers, I mean, the cheap ones, the classics are 7500 a pair, which is way more reasonable. Doesn't that first one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It way more reasonable for sure.

And I remember used to just like getting the Crutchfield catalog. Oh, yeah. It comes out and just like having a nice, relaxing, enjoying chit in the bathroom and reading that catalog, it was always fun to look at, even if you didn't buy anything, especially if you didn't buy anything. Because if you did, you're like, I'm broke now. Yeah. You know, well, that's I mean, that's a they sell Bose, they sell all the regular stuff to you. You're well on your way to the high end.

3333 Satoshis coming in from comic strip blogger who want you to go to that club that L.O.L. And that he says, cool, which means fucking polish a thing. Well, why are you providing instant Polish translation for the listeners? Yes. Instead, I mean 33, 33 SATs, cc, USB. And when you can get this up to a 19,000 $119,999.98, how much is the start with SATs even? Right? That would be fine as well. 100,000 SATs. Yeah. I mean, did we say 100,000? Minimum donation to read something out loud?

I think it was lower than that. Like since I was it's 100,000. Well, let's understand Bitcoin has gone up. Way up since we last talked. Like way, way, way to move it up on the way up. Well okay. That way in like it said 62,000 according to my plug in here to get in it was 58,000. You can give us a bigger donation right now with less satoshis. Do you see how great this is? That way people can get in and it's getting on the phone. It's like now it's all monopoly money anyway.

It is in the system, steals your money and then you close your account. That's how. That's how the whole thing works. Well, that was over on the voltage for you. Yeah. That's just that has not gotten cleared up. Your money is not back in your house. I mean, it's it's cleared up. Is ever going to get. I basically gave them the account and I said, if you get anything out of it, let me know. And then they're like, thanks. See you later, buddy.

I know Lady Vox was there complaining about strike, doing the similar thing. Like, you put $50 in and got nothing. Yeah. Which really does not, bode well for the whole concept when you have things like that happening, because then people who are like, hey, you know what? I'd really like to take part in the podcasting 2.0 thing. I would like to support people and then they try to get it.

It's like, but all the documentation for the software starts off by telling you this is a system that's still in beta. Yeah. And you should consider any funds you deposit to be lost. The more spasm warning like they warn you ahead of time and I that's why I'm not, you know, bitching more than I am. So all of that should totally to me. And that way they'll be safe.

I, I, you know, as stupid as this sounds, it probably would have been more true than that because I basically lost a million SATs in that bar. Dude. Know. And like, if we got a million SATs donation, like, that'd be worth talking about. He'd be dancing on the ceiling. Man, I don't know what that's actually. Not that much money, but. Well, and you've got out. So. I mean, let's be honest. Yeah. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I wouldn't be dancing anywhere.

Now, one good thing is I don't get any extra pain from laughing, unlike certain other diseases, so. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, I just have to keep my foot from moving. It's currently sitting on a, one of those, packs that you put in the freezer. Oh, yeah. That's freezers. Loves those, man. The gel packs. Yeah. Job pack. So it's sitting on a gel pack. Nice and comfy and cold. And that minimizes that kind of shocking electric pain that I would be feeling otherwise in a million Satoshis is $629, right?

Exactly. That's not bad. Yeah, yeah. It's not going to buy you a set of them speakers. It ain't gonna buy you, much. These idiots probably go shopping twice. Yeah, true. Grocery shopping. Grocery shopping twice. Maybe fill up the car four times. Two times? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, because I don't actually give me inside. It's about a hundred bucks to fill up the car. I know, which I am, so it's it's like six times a million sats will fill the car. Six times.

I am so happy the wife found a job that wasn't, 45 minutes away. Because the amount that has been saved in gasoline and tolls alone. Oh, yeah. Yeah, thousands of dollars. Absolutely. But still, the grocery bills keep going up.

They're still out of weird things. And, Dude. Yeah, it's. I sent you, a few shows ago. I sent you, like, side side comparisons from a year ago or 18 months ago where it was. Yeah. The grocery, palooza that's been going on. Yeah. It's, and then the last thing I sent you, actually. And I sent you the stuff as much just to remind myself as to what you know about the power. It's like, oh, I should talk about this. Yeah. The power.

So the electrical fight, the power, the my my bill for electricity has gone up about 26% since last year. Year over year. And I just checked a couple days ago the usage of electricity this year versus last year. This year for August. So it's for one month. That's for the whole year. But this year in August was half as much electricity as last year is August, wasn't it? So I've used half as much and I've paid over 20% more. Well, that's the nefarious part with the smart grids.

I liked how it showed you how many hours you ran your air conditioner. Like fuck the power police.

They don't need to know what you're running and where and how. Well and I'm just lucky that they know and that actually control because if they controlled it there'd be about ten hours of air conditioning on there. So they'd be like no can't do that. Well that's coming. I'm not you know I know it's coming. But so far you're not required to install the smart thermostat, although I think all new houses have to in Austin. They have to install smart thermostats. They don't have a choice.

Just wait till every device that you're running is monitored and they're like, oh no, we need to save. So yeah, you don't get to run your computers right now. We're going to shut those off. Yeah, yeah, your computer time is over. But yeah, they didn't. China. Well they because they make you log in with your actual identification in order to use the internet. So it's not hard to be like, oh, you've had your three hours of fun for today. Now go do something else. Be productive.

Go support the party. Go be productive citizen. Yes. Now, the Chinese I know well, I was going to do a Chinese accent. They realize that would probably be just really offensive. Oh, unlike every other accent, the other accents are perfect, right? The, I mean, because I just go to the South Park guide, the the shitty walk, you know that? Oh, shit. You walk? Yeah. I just, hilarious bit, but, we'll just take a joke, I guess. Yeah. Watch those pagers. You got your pager far away from your dream.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, very far away. I that's in somebody else's pants. That's the best place I love. I, I fucking love the trolling that that that's great. At first it was the pagers, then it was the radios. And the latest is now goats. They're blowing up goats. They have exploding goats now. And the goats explode when they're fucked. So it's a hell of a thing. It is a hell of a thing. So not only are you going in that route, but everybody's going to know what you would do in that.

I thought the electronics thing was quite interesting. Yeah, the fact that they sold them these things six months ago really makes it like. Okay, they were clearly like, those guys know how to shut the fuck up, right? And that talk about things they're doing unlike Americans, which you'll talk about things before they're done. It's like, yeah, that's that's a very good, approach as, sell them explosive devices and then don't leak that.

Well. And it was so pinpoint accuracy if don't believe all the crap you're in for the people like AOC. Oh, no. It's horrible. This is people talking with. No, this was a very targeted strike. There's no such thing. I mean, that's just the the first problem with that statement is that there are no innocent people anyway. Everyone's guilty of something. Absolutely 100% what Gene's guilty of this week on unrelenting. What do you guilty of the waste?

I'm not going to tell you what. I know what it is. I'm not going to tell you, though. It's a it's a new game. So guess what Gene is guilty of. Yeah, you send in your guesses, they have to be in a with torches. Yeah. With at least 33,000 satoshis. And if you are correct, you will, with an unrelenting price pack a mug. Just say price pack. It sounds way more.

Oh, right. Right. Good point. Just like you gave me the nice tips on putting together the the review for my dentist, I thought it was great that you did a review before I did that. Yeah, that was that classic, right? Oh, the last thing you would think of my review, I thought it was good. Good. The last episode of, random Thoughts. All right. DMB had talked about detailed what happened with the dentist, and I've talked about it here.

But now, since they're not returning phone calls, I figured it was time to start bringing at least what I could to the pain factor to let people know. Because the beautiful thing about the internet is this when somebody then types in the name.

I want my stuff to start popping up. Yep. And I'm thinking I'm really for ten bucks, whatever it is per year to get a domain name and you can get them really look for a an on sale domain name. I just need to find one that's like yep. You know, Patterson Dental sucks or something like that. And then post links to the episode and to the review and all that. Yep. It's a beautiful thing, man. This is the this is where you've got some money. There's no two ways about it.

This, this, this one for, medical handling of your case is going to cost the money. And that's exactly what it is. And I get I was not in on, an unreasonable client in this case, right? Like, I was just asking for some kind of a, pay back, some kind of restitution. Yeah. And I. And you could totally sue them to do, because all the work that you did was be redone. Yep. And then beyond that, you know, I don't know what was put into the records, what can be proven.

But the fact that the dentist told me to get a tooth pulled to fix the problem that she made with the crown. Yeah, that tooth is still there. After being looked at by another dentist and another end to doctors who were like, we don't need to do a root canal at that. It's like, what does that say when somebody is like, oh no, you should really have that pulled. It's getting, which he told me it was going to start causing me problems.

Let's again, I know this sounds conspiratorial, but it did start causing me problems. It started causing me massive pain, which is why I figured she was right until I realized that a simple round of antibiotics took care of the pain, took care of the heart with me and everything was fine. So no I don't know how a dentist would do this. And again conspiracy time.

But if somebody wanted to make you have a tooth pull that you didn't need to, I don't know what could be injected into that tooth, into the, you know where because they did a little cavity on that. So obviously something was injected and it wasn't even something that was seen through the dental X-rays because otherwise the new dentist would have seen it. But I don't know exactly what you know. And this again, I know it sounds a little bit crazy, but I'm not really sure it is.

This seems like this could just be a, completely out of control medical professional. Because what it should be, but I don't I don't think anyone's going to be injecting anything. I think it was just. And they didn't they didn't clean the surface sufficiently, that what they needed to do is ensure that the whole thing was sterile. And they obviously didn't, either that or you had a ill fitting crown that had enough of a gap.

Not necessarily one you could see, but enough of a gap where bacteria could lodged themselves in there. Well, see, here's the thing. This wasn't the tooth with the crown, okay? This was the upper tooth, which is still healthy that she wanted to take out to cover the problem with the crown below biting my cheek. Oh, okay. So what could you do to a healthy tooth? And they did because I had massive amounts of pain. Any time I let cold hit that tooth.

And that's what I was figuring I'm going to need. I know I probably said it on this episode of the show multiple times. Like I'm getting a root canal on that upper tooth, right? And then all of a sudden I have a crown there. But it just started getting sensitive, right? Which is why it's like, oh, it must be infected. So I'm going to need a root canal. But, you know, it's hard to do the root canal, so get it pulled.

Yeah. Well, could have also screwed up the, the contact patch between the upper and lower tooth, causing it to be pushed in one direction, effectively loosening it. That could also get bacteria up in there, but I don't think that was even the case. I think this was, all done internally, and it did cause an infection that didn't show up as a tooth infection.

But I mean, the timing of it tells me, yes, it was something and it could be something as simple as they were really shitty with their cleaning of the instrument. Yeah. That could be. Yeah. Because after that six months taking the antibiotics like within 24 hours the whole upper everything was good. Well everything was sore and it took like a day or two where everything was sore on the upper mouth. And then the lefties and so did the arrhythmia. Like damn.

Yeah. That's wild that the tie into the arrhythmia is the crazy part there. Yeah. Me the fact that these things can overlap and finding information on it overlapping is nearly impossible. Maybe I'll have to look through ChatGPT because I didn't have that when doing the research the last time. And my last cardiologist, who had just retired didn't really seem to think that it was possible. But the guy that took over for him when I brought that up, he's like, oh yeah, sure, that could cause it.

So I mean, I don't know, how often this happens, but yeah, I don't know if that's, if that's a real thing because I don't recall seeing an episode of how something. Right, right. So if it didn't happen, that house did not 700 episodes. If it didn't happen on the house, it doesn't exist. I got to rewatch that series that in Miami Vice. What should I hit first? Should I do house or should I go? Well, maybe I will take way less time to rewatch.

We have five seasons as opposed to what house was seven? Or was it like nine, ten, ten, ten? Wow. Yeah, maybe nine. But it was, I, you know, when I started, because I'd never seen House up until a year and a half ago, I started watching House, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna like, you know, bust through these, because I'm going to watch a bunch of episodes of per day. And what I didn't realize is just how many episodes there were. Right? Is it a tremendous amount of episodes?

And it I was like six months in and I was not even half the season through back in the old days. And sorry, not even the half of the total lifespan of the show through. Well, they were show. I think I was still like 48 minutes of, content. Oh yeah. Yeah, they're they're not quite an hour, but they're certainly longer than half an hour. And they had more than 20 episodes. It wasn't one of these quickly I think it was the yeah, like 2024 episodes a year, something like that.

Yeah. Yeah. If it didn't happen there, man, we should have added that in. There's I mean, I think towards the end there, they were starting to repeat diseases because you run out of them. But sometimes you can then combine them in fun, different ways. Yeah, yeah. And I love how that show basically taught people that medical doctors always break into your house to look for chemicals, right? Oh, God, I forgot about that. Because there's always something in the environment that's causing.

Yeah, yeah, not for me, man. It was in my fucking mouth. It was in my tooth. Yeah. That's wild, because again, I wound up, it was Valentine's Day, too. I should get extra points for that one where I went into the E.R. and the heart was just racing uncontrollably in there, like, looking at it. And they're saying, you know, the little machine kept saying it was a but everybody's like, well, no, it's not a fair bet. A bunch of premature contractions. Which I mean they feel the same way.

The Apple Watch will tell you what's a fib because it doesn't understand, you know what's what. But stupid Apple Watch I know they're going to start doing the sleep apnea. To which I'm sorry. No I've got to I don't even want to get the new Apple Watch to be told like oh, you've got sleep apnea too, you know, but I don't got out. Yeah. Yet they stayed away from the nitrates, man. I'm telling you, it's I think if you do stay away from nitrates, I think the risk diminishes greatly.

Gene's currently doing the show with a Starbucks in one hand and a full, like, 5 pound salami in the other. It's just taking little. Like I got the gout. How much worse can it get? It can get worse. It. Well, you. First of all, I would get it out of my left till now. I could get it on both toes. Oh, and then you got no feet left to walk on. That's no good. No. The snake. You're only you're kind of walking on your heels, you know, trying to elevate the toe while you're walking. Right?

So you don't actually press down at it and cause yourself massive amounts of pain. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So it's heel walking. Yeah. Fun times. Do you got some special, slippers that you wear for that? Yeah, it's called barefoot. Barefoot. Now you need, like. Yeah, you need, like, some Mike Lindell super cloud slippers. And now you want air and nothing else touching your toe. Just there, I remember, yeah.

Like I was like, well, I can't wear shoes because the the size of the toe is way too big now. So you could wear, like, sandals. Real. But then you got something up against your toe that doesn't feel good. That wasn't. Everybody could see your toe, but the toe definitely could not. I don't care if people see it. The toe could definitely not fit into a pair of shoes right now. It's way too big. So you're going to have to do your groceries the old fashioned way by getting them delivered?

Yes. Usually the old fashioned way. I do my grocery shopping. Yeah. See, Brooklyn 112 says this show art will be amazing. I mean, I can see it already picturing a big infected toe now. Nice. It's not infected. It's just big. This big just it's salty. It's, salty to salty toe thing. Right? The salty. Salty. So, you do it everybody. I mean, I like I mean, I enjoyed the, graphic for the last episode so much. I even left it with my name misspelled.

Nice, nice. Yeah. The. I think it's always better that way anyway. And I with that one, I, I was intrigued because you can ask one eye for information about another eye. So I put it through and I will say so far the ChatGPT what's the new one for? 01I think that's much better. It's screwed up the times for the first ride through. But then I said, the times are off and they did it again and got it right. So I was really happy about that.

But then I asked it to write the one paragraph teaser, and it did that well. And then I prompted it to give me a daily prompt to represent the show. And that's what I used, and that's what I got. So that is all I produced by parsing what it heard in the or read in the transcript. That's awesome. Like it's beautiful. Yeah.

Yeah, it's yeah. By the way, I keep saying I arts and no agenda episodes. So clearly they've switched the bots because it's all there is. Yeah. Okay. There's that, you know, and I as somebody that would do a lot of the artwork, I write like one that I did yesterday, which didn't win. But if I were to have to done this manually, it would have taken a half hour or so, which is the I did lubricant. Oh boy.

Now that would have meant going to find a box, you know, or something that I could use and then Photoshop it to make it blank so that I can put what I want on it. And then do the text and make sure it was all correct, and then find the little whatever to add to it. And in this case, I wanted it set in a dungeon, so I would have to go and find a, you know, photo outline of a dungeon that I could then put this into. Instead, you just type in what you want and boom, I gives it here.

So I understand that the I look is not always the preferred look, but it is always going to be the quicker way to go about it. It's absolutely well, and it does do a better job because I think I sent you the couple weeks back, one that I made that was, a picture of Trump and the picture camera and the, above the pictures. It says Trump or tram, right. And that was all done in, Rock. Yeah. Yeah, that was incorrect. So I just described when I wanted and drag made it.

And I'm like, this is perfectly good enough for a troll kind of picture. For a meme I like. I don't need Photoshop at all anymore. Period. Like, this is it. This is good enough. Yes. It's quick. Yeah. You don't have to worry about allegedly using anything copyrighted that people are going to come back to you, because even a lot of the a lot of the clip art that is out there on free sites is not really free. It's up. Other people reposted it. Exactly.

If the owner sees it, decides to be a dick, they'd be like, oh, is he gonna be buddy? And by Dick you mean doing what they're legally entitled to? Sure, yes, exactly. But this is the issue with the internet, with things can so quickly trying to take a life of their own on that, I understand. Yeah, when it comes to photos and things like that. But it's like, okay, we know that it's technically illegal for anybody to post any image that they do not own to social media.

Yeah. Now I will ask you of all of the images posted to social media, what percentage do you think are posted by the people that actually own the rights to that image? Real zero. Yeah, possibly. It is actually zero. Yeah, it might be. No, I mean photos one there's a lot of photos that originally are posted by people that took the photo. Yes. Predominantly like girls trying to advertise their only fans.

Right. When you got your Instagram right, they want to get you from Insta over to only they want to get your cash. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But in terms of just, like, clip party type stuff, like, I guarantee you, the guy that shot the photo of Trump holding his fist up. Oh, yeah. Which was absolutely brilliant shot. And he had to have been at the location and time that he was to get that shot.

He completely he's getting screwed right now because there are people selling t shirts, people selling all kinds of crap made using that photo. That's not public domain, guys. That is a copyrighted work. Now in the NBA, everybody is just using it. The guy that maybe who has taken the photo that has been used more than anyone else. I saw an interview with him recently. He was the guy that took vow. You've seen the, Johnny Cash photo of him flipping the bird.

There was the guy that took that photo. Yeah, at the Folsom Prison Show. Yep. And he's like, nope. None of this stuff, you see is, have none of it's licensed. It's, but it's like you took it on such a life of its own. It's interesting when you see long before the other that people were seeing that photo, but now it's just become, you know, that's the Johnny Cash photo. Yeah. You see it on t shirts and you see it all over the place.

You know, everybody under the age of 25 has no idea who Johnny Cash is. I think they do. I think Johnny Cash is one of those artists that transcends. Yeah, we'd like to think that, given how old we are. But that's not the case. My man did his last two albums with Ricky. That guy's barely. Yes. People barely knows who Elvis is, which is barely. Oh, interesting. I wonder who knows, which one of those two is known? More through the youngsters now in the United States, Johnny Cash, Elvis.

I think Elvis is mainly known as a guy who drug overdose. I don't think people know that. He was, in the movies. I don't think they know he was responsible for popularization of rock and roll. I think you think of rock and roll. Maybe he was a fat guy that overdosed back in the 60s or something. He was one hell of a voice. He gave his friends Cadillacs. Yeah, but we'll see a rapper. No, no, he's not a musician, obviously. How did he do it? I got find out. What did he doing?

Yeah, we got well, apparently they found the 860 cat, dildos and in his house, like thousands of bottles of lube and baby oil. There's a lot of diddling going on there that's buying in bulk. I mean, like, did he go to Costco? I mean, where do you get, like, a thousand bottles of baby oil? The Costco dildo section right below that baby oil used to be like, yeah. You have somebody. Maybe a while, isn't it? Just like mineral spirits? I think so what's the what's baby oil made of?

I would just think babies. That's pretty disgusting. And I can't believe you went there. Really? You can't believe it on this show. It's unrelenting. I asked the, Microsoft AI here. What is baby oil made of? Yeah, yeah. Baby oil is predominantly made of mineral oil. ABS. Right? Yep. Did you know? Everybody knows Elvis Costello? I think you are incorrect. Yeah. Nobody knows Elvis Costello. Didn't even know who the hell he was back when he was popular.

Now they're like, oh, colorless, derived from petroleum. Yeah, it's basically leftover processing shit from a petroleum plant is what you're supposed to put on a baby. Yeah, it's good for him. You just rub them with the oil with a mix of chemicals for scent. I've never heard anybody putting baby oil on a baby though. No you wouldn't want to. I mean it's made of petroleum. It would be dangerous baby. Could blow it up in flames.

Now it's good for when you're doing your boudoir photography to get a nice sheen on your subject. I mean, there's other substances. I prefer coconut oil myself. Oh, well, why? Why is a just better smell taste better? You know, you can make a popcorn with coconut oil. You can't. Yes. Delicious. But talk about anything. Anything with coconut oil I, I predominantly when I cook unless I'm trying to go for something specifically flavored I will use coconut oil because with extremely high flame point.

So it's not going to smoking unless you're completely scorching it where a lot of other oils and certainly butter is going to be burning up in smoke by that point. You don't want to use expensive. That's the only thing you buy cooked on, like it's easily 4 to 5 times more expensive than vegetable oils, but it makes a much more delicious popcorn. That's the one thing I learned. I don't know why I remember reading like the secret to movie theater popcorn was coconut oil.

Well, that was well, I don't know, the I don't I, I couldn't even guess because I don't think that's correct. But I don't know enough to say that, you know, I've never tasted coconut oil in movies. Popcorn. The butter flavor was totally artificial. What? You sure as hell didn't taste coconut oil. No real butter was ever made. Was ever used for the popcorn in the in the movie. But you. I'm sure it was at some point, just not during our lifetimes. That's possible.

How do you make movie theater popcorn? Wonder if. Why would he knows? Why would they have artificial butter flavor if if at some point in the past they didn't use real butter, I'm sure they probably used real butter at some point. You're right to recreate the classic taste of movie theater purportedly popcorn kernels. Number two, coconut oil. Movie theaters often use refined coconut oil for its subtle flavor and high smoke point. Alternatively, you can use canola oil or a blend.

But yes, coconut oil is the and then a flavor call. This is a key ingredient for that signature salty, buttery taste. Flavor call is a fine butter flavored salt commonly used in cinemas. Never even heard of that. Yeah, I've never heard of that either. I would have thought it would have, MSG in it. You never know. I've never heard that. And I've never had a migraine after eating movie theater popcorn, although I did have one the other morning out of the blue. So you never know.

While doing the Rock and roll pre-show, which is fun, there's nothing better than trying to look at a screen that has buttons and read booster grams and stuff while having a complete or, show going on in my field of vision. For people that have never had those, it is a whole lot of fun. It's very weird if you didn't. The first time I had it, I thought I was going to die because you have no idea what's going on. Now it's just like, oh, this is going to be inconvenient for a half hour.

So what happens the, they can all be a little bit different but about half and half I will know this

thing's starting to disappear in my field of vision before the light show starts. So if I'm looking at a photo, I'm looking at text. All of a sudden I can tell that an area that I can normally see is not there. The first time this happened, I was in high school, and, it was Thanksgiving over at the then girlfriend's house. Now wife and I remember just like talking to her grandfather and like, half his face is gone. Yes. I mean, just very weird stuff.

And then it was all, you know, figured out that it was a migraine. But after, you see, like, half of things, then you kind of get a television static made more colorful, and it goes through different patterns, through the field of vision. So. So she's still married? You. What the hell, man? I know I'm defective. You're. You were already displaying defective quantities back then. Yeah, but I'm six foot six, so I mean that. Really? What more do you need?

Well, in an defective person would be good, but, Yeah. Holy cow. Yeah. So you were having this since childhood? That's crazy. Yeah, that was the first time I remember it happening. Would be around the age of 18. And did you get hit on the head? No. Like, just, it's neurological, and I know that's why. It's just you get hit in the head. I've never really had. Did you fall off a tree? No. I fell out of a coconut tree. Maybe. Never really had migraine headache pain.

I mean, I know some people talk about migraine headache pain. Like you talk about the gout. Like it's the worst. It drives you nuts for me. I've never had the pain. I get the things and the vision. I get the aura. And then usually, if I'm really lucky, I'm just tired after it for the rest of the day or until I sleep when it's really bad, I feel like nauseous and off for the next 6 to 24 hours, but never really any pain. So. And you just have to wait.

Or is there a way to fix it? Or you just kind of wait? Well, and the waiter won't fix it. I don't know if it really is fixing it's get yourself, a little bit of a jolt of the, like ibuprofen. Although since the pain isn't really there that much and caffeine usually like all of the migraine medications, are a mixture of pain relief and caffeine. So usually I just feel helps.

And, slam a Coke or a, really one of the few times I'll drink soda at this point because I don't normally drink anymore, but that's, you know, and again, I would do it with coffee, but it's harder to slam a hot coffee. I mean, I guess I could iced the coffee, but that's just a quick boost of caffeine. And usually that helps. That's wild. But it was always more concerning to me that, Which it never did.

But some of them make the vision, which I already have crappy vision, but some of them, when it really takes over your field of vision, like you don't want to be driving down an expressway while having your, your vision impaired with. Yeah. You know, but beyond that, it's just like how you wait it out, goes away, takes about a half hour, and then the post, at least the vision stuff clears up and you can go back to to doing whatever you're doing. But I started taking advice. Yeah, yeah.

Like if you close one eye or the other one, the area that's screwed up is the same on both sides. Yes. It's the beauty of the neurological condition. That's what I wound up in the hospital, because I had the horrible one that made half my body numb and tingle. Jesus. Yeah, well, that was when I stopped drinking. I made the mistake. I tried to get healthy. And I stopped drinking coffee. At that time, I stopped drinking soda.

I went zero caffeine in about 2 to 3 months after I did the zero caffeine. I had that massive migraine attack, and this was bad enough where it started just in my pinky. You know, my little finger. On the left hand. And I was standing there has taken a leak for all the detail people want. And I'm like well this seems a little weird but I am finished up, wash my hands, walk down the stairs and I'm walking. Now we know you're lying. Is that walking in the kitchen.

And all of a sudden I can't walk properly? My left leg is not doing what I want it to. So that's when the freakout really starts. Because otherwise you know okay you've had it, you know you set your elbow wrong or you know pressing your hand will get a little tingly. No big deal. And then this kind of move down to the leg, this moved up into my head.

It moved up to where the half of my tongue, everything on the left side of the body went numb and went into the basically like if your hand's asleep. That kind of a feeling. I think they did have this one on the house, probably. It's a good one. I think it was a, some kind of an exotic South American fungus that was causing it. I shouldn't have left to South America, or at least with the South American check, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Or maybe you got a plant that came from South America.

Maybe that's how it always is. Like, let's go. Somebody has to break into my house to find out. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And the most interesting thing still to for me was, you know, we went in, they did the MRI, they did all of the tests. And the neurologist comes in and is basically like, well, everything's good now. You didn't have a stroke. You didn't this, didn't this. Everything looks good. And I had to ask like, well, does this have been a migraine? He's like, yeah.

And I asked, well, how do you know the difference? You know, if this happens again I'm like, how do I know if it's a migraine again or a stroke? And he's like, you don't just come in. It's like well thanks. Like that's the gist. Did you follow that up with like how will you know if it's a stroke of my brain. Great. So I won't know we were in that until you come in. That's what we are. We can see you got to come and do the tasks.

And that was you know, one the only thing they found in this was only the slightest. You know, when you look at your labs when they come in, magnesium and I don't know what the normal magnesium levels should be off the top of my head, but say that normal magnesium level should be between 1.0 and 2.0. Yeah, I would have been at point nine. It was just ever so slightly low. That was the only thing they found.

I started taking magnesium supplements from that point and the migraines dropped off a lot. They still happen, but they dropped off a lot. And I wanted to know there's different I bought different magnesium. Yeah, it should be from 1.7 to 2.2 by the way. So that I was at 1.6. Yeah. You know that was just ever so slightly out of the range. And I know there are different magnesium and there's the one that come in the capsules which are like black capsules from nature made or something.

I prefer the white. It sounds like such a racist thing. I like the tablets that come from I think nature made makes them as well. And for some reason lately when I've gotten the migraines I noticed that was because not because. But I just know it could just be too incidental. It was when I was using one of the bottles that was the little capsules, rather than the tablets or the big capsules.

So yeah, I just have to avoid the, the small ones or maybe double up or something, because maybe there's not enough magnesium in them. Yeah, yeah. So apparently the symptoms of low magnesium are muscle spasms, tremors, cramps, abnormal eye movements, fatigue, seizures, confusion, and abnormal heart rate. Who are you? What am I doing here exactly? This is not my beautiful house. That's not my Playboy weight right now. I never got one of those. I had you know I met the Playboy.

May just be confused right through. I met him at a married one. I know I met him after I was married though. I mean that's the bummer, right? So, so no, I did quite well. I did quite well. I mean, you see some of these, and I know I'm going with the genes. The theory here, even Playboy Playmate, you see some of those at 40 and 50 and you're like, No, no I am. No, no. If you would have known then what you see now. No.

Yeah. So I don't know see the, the, the picture of Salma Hayek, that, dude named Ben Paxton doll man. Was that from, like, 40 years ago? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's like, still looks pretty good for 57. I'm like, you know, she may be 57, but that picture isn't 57. I mean, she was always cute, but she was. No, I was like, I always liked her. Now she's, Well, she's not she. This is my thing. People think she's Mexican. She's Mexican because she grew up in Mexico.

She's not Mexican because both her parents are from the Middle East. So she's really like Lebanese. Yeah, she looks like a badass. I mean, she's hot. She's about five foot two. Nice. Which means every other feature on her is exaggerated by her short stature. Meaning her boobs aren't as big as people think they are because she's actually, proportionately speaking, it doesn't need as big a boob to look big. Yeah, but that's perfect for you because you're like, five for three. See?

Least you're at the center. Yeah, I guess I noticed, Six foot seven. Thank you very much. Hey, I noticed your, title. Her name had changed on the hex that now has some questionable statistics added to it. You know, I saw somebody else with that in their name, and I'm like, oh, my God, I never thought of doing that. This is hilarious. So I just copy and paste. It is nice.

I did like I mean, dude's got his height, alleged height and alleged IQ in his name on X. And I was like, this is brilliant, I love this. This is very important. If women are looking for a particular type of man. Exactly. Did you see any of the, And by man you mean like Shrek? Yeah. Did you see Trump on Gutfeld? No, I only watched the first part because that was the only part on what was felt was on the YouTubes for some reason.

Yeah, but Trump was talking about how he showed Gutfeld the ear that had been shot when he was at the Republican National Convention. You know, just a couple days later. And Theresa was on that show, the big black dude, he's like, but how did you get Gutfeld even be able to see your ear? And Trump's like, I had to sit on a really low chair. Oh, like he's quick. All these people are trying to tell you that Trump is losing it mentally. Yeah, Trump is quick. He is witty. He does not.

It's funny because we cover this all the time on Planet Rage. There's a few of these lefty talking heads. They keep saying Trump is incoherent. And I'm like, the more I watch Trump, the less incoherent he seems. He seems perfectly fine, that's all. Yeah, I think he's way more coherent than the average person that age. Yeah. Or the average person. I think you could just say the average person at this point. I don't even think at his age. Yeah, it's getting harder for people to speak.

And this is where it's interesting. My nephew, who, is, I think about to hit 30. He works from the house, but his company he works for is out on the East coast, and they just went to a, you know, every now and then he actually have to be in person for these things. And the guy that runs the company was so impressed with how he presented his stuff that they want him to be like the spokesperson at you know, whatever the next big thing is where you need somebody to speak.

And like I think this is getting harder to find somebody of that age in that 20 to 30 that doesn't try to use tech speak, that doesn't just use 1 or 2 words that isn't eloquent, that doesn't have the gift of gab or the bloviating, but in a way that you need to sell your products. I mean, back in the day, like Zig Ziglar, you probably read all those books, not one of those books. How many did you write? You probably wrote a few of them, too. Yeah, nine of those, though.

Nine. That's just being able to communicate with people and to hold attention and to be a dynamic speaker. It's not something that's being taught in school, that's for sure. I, I never really understood why a lot of people had problems like speaking in front of crowds. I never got that. Well, you know, the Jerry Seinfeld line is, what's the line that more people are afraid of public speaking than of dying? Yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Makes no sense.

If you go to a funeral, I mean, more people are afraid they're going to have to give the eulogy than be in the box. I mean, that's the real. Yeah. And I get it to a certain extent that people don't want to look stupid. They don't want to. But I mean, things, they're going to be, like, blacked out. Yeah. And I realized that, you know, I don't have that gene.

Or at least I was able to, repress it when I went in for my one little real radio job of glory, which was doing the sports for Jonathan Brandt. Meyer on the loop 90 8 a.m. 1000. Yeah. Knowing at the time that his listenership was about a million people listening live, just like this show. Right. And that really you had to make sure. Okay, that was in your mind. There was no way that wasn't in my mind. The moment you sit down in front of that microphone.

But there's then that like, oh my God, if I say anything stupid, everybody's going to hear. And then you just get over that and be like, okay, maybe I will, but who cares? Yeah, there's a lot of people who can never get to the point where they're like, oh, who cares? They're too wrapped up in being afraid or be like, oh, I'm really going to sound dumb.

Yeah. Then you go, listen, I don't know, I just, I guess I well, first of all, speaking to a microphone doesn't matter how many people are listening because you're not actually speaking to a crowd. Speaking to a in front of a large crowd of people is a little different, because you're seeing reactions in real time based on people yawning and looking around, looking at things better, looking in their phones and all kinds of activities that that will tell you, or yelling, you know, about what?

Your messages in real time. Hey, Gene, wrap it up. I mean, nothing better than that for your, presentation. Yeah, yeah. But at the same time, I've never thought there was any kind of a a thing, a problem with speaking for a large crowd. So there was, event I spoke at years ago. That was. It had, over 500 Secret Service agents there, and, well, so you knew they weren't going to shoot you. I mean, you they were going to miss if they tried.

Well, you never know somebody could have taken apart, shot at me and even in that crowd. But, but it was one of those things where I'm actually telling them how to do their job, and I'm not one of them. And, I think that would have made some people nervous, but not me, because I just know I'm smarter. But there's okay, delusion can help very definitely brings in it. You use whatever skills you get, right? That's all I say, right? You use what you got.

I mean, if you're a hot chick that you use, what you got? Yeah. Then no one's going to be listening to you anyway. So you might as well say it doesn't matter what you say. No. Oh, they're they're not going to live to watch you, but they won't listen to you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly into this. You hear me watching that? Listening when you're in front of a crowd? Yes, I can see that would be a little bit different.

But I think once you get over it, doing it even out a microphone live, that it does transfer over to a certain extent because it's I think it's the same fear, which is I'm going to either totally freeze up and not be able to say anything. Yeah. Which is really the main thing I believe that most people are afraid of now. It's a different thing. When I took classes in college where you had to, you know, give if you weren't prepared.

I mean, then yes, I can understand why you might be nervous, but the giving the presentation, it's like it's talking. Who cares how many people are there? Who cares? Well, and I think that those of us that have the gift of gab don't see as much of a problem with us as people that don't like. This is why I can and said, I've never really understood what it feels like to be afraid of speaking.

I mean, it sounds like you really haven't either, but I think people that don't have their own podcast, frankly, have a higher percentage of folks that are like, oh my God, I could never speak in front of a large crowd.

Get your own podcast. That's the secret to this all. Then get it hooked up with podcasting 2.0. And then YouTube can get 3333 from CSB, which is the only one we've gotten today. Well, yeah. And I think every podcast gets money from CSB. That's what it seems like. He does like to support all those shows. See Brooklyn wants to know the listener count. Well, that won't tell you because Doug don't like it's millions. It's in the millions somewhere. It's 59. Oh wow. 59 million. That's a stupid man.

Now we got a large swath we're covering today. The highest was 75, though. So I want to know what happened to those 75 people that started with us and how we lost. Yeah. What 16 of them? Yeah. They have better things to do. Yeah. So they really they're losing out over they though we're only where they really know I don't I feel like this has been a overwhelmingly medical episode of the show. Over on exit says we've had 44 views of the live, unrelenting show.

So yeah, those together, that's triple digits, man. Yeah, baby. That's right. There has been a little medical talk. We haven't even talked about any pop singers. We haven't even talked about, a lot of food, except for what? Not to eat while having the gout. Yeah, yeah. Now we're taking next week off. Now, unless you want to get a Philly I know dude named Ben named Ben's. Like, hey, do you want to do it? Do a show? I'm like, yeah. Oh, he doesn't want to do a show with me.

Wants to do a show with you. Oh, well, that's why he's like, yeah, free on Saturday. So I'm like, I'm not. I have a life, dude. Yeah. Do you do kind of. I mean, at least on Saturdays he's got more to life than you do. So it's kind of weird. I pretend to have a wife and things to do on Saturday. He's got a handful of kids. Well, why would he say, okay, now I understand why he wants to avoid them. This is the exact reason I don't have kids. That's true.

And I'm like, I want to go do some enjoyable things. And he's just like, get me away from the kids, man. Get me away from the kids. Close the door. And I'm doing podcasts. Don't bother me. I'm working the way I Met you making on their podcast so much money. You bring it in like, okay, $0.15. But that's not the point. We're changing the world. That's right. One listener at the time. Yes. That's all it takes. All it takes.

So, speaking of having the, height in the X thing, if you see the story of the guy that is getting the book thrown at him and maybe rightfully so, I don't know, that went back to high school as a I think he's a 27 year old. No. And he was caught but he his stats were was less than impressive. I think he was like five foot two and like 120 pounds. Okay. So he was able to blend in I guess. But then he was, you know, like macking on the 13 year old chicks and, right.

That's kind of problematic as a 27 year old. Well, hold on. Is there an age limit to high school? Are you not allowed to go to high school at a certain age?

You know, and this would be the question. And wasn't there a movie that, Drew Barrymore did where she goes back to high school as a newspaper porter? Yes. And there have been other people who have done that. I mean, come on, let's remember the, 21 Jump Street, baby. The cops go back. And they pretend they're students. They can catch the drug dealers. Yeah. This guy got, let's see here.

They sentenced him after he pleaded no contest in July to first degree sexual assault, attempted first degree sexual assault generation of child pornography age 19 or over and child enticement with electronic communication with. He could get up to 120 years in prison. That is retarded. Okay, I'm I'm certainly against pedophilia, but that sounds retarded because I guarantee you what you just read off is coming from him texting with another student. Yes. And the topic shifting from homework to

what are you doing tonight? Yep. That there the no pedophilia took place in this thing. I can virtually guarantee you will not like this is this country is bizarre. On the one hand, they want to chop off the sex bits of children, right? That's fine. On the other hand, they have an, a such a black and white attitude about communication between people over 18 and under. 18. Right. There was a guy, big, Twitch streamer guy, named Doctor Disrespect.

I don't know if you heard of this guy or I have not, but I've heard of doc. He's probably. Well, doctor, disrespect was probably the highest paid gaming Twitch streamer, period. Like he was making, you know, tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, super popular. Had been around forever. And he was basically a dude. And he's one of these crazy six foot seven guys. Oh, yeah, those tall guys, they're bad. They're the freaks, nature type.

And, he was, all of a sudden he got taken off the platform about a year and a half ago, and people were all speculating when happened. You know, he's like the number one Twitch streamer and apparently somebody at Twitch had gotten wind that he was private messaging somebody who was under 18. On Twitch. And that was the basis for them taking off the most popular streamer on the platform. It is a little bizarre, and there was nothing in those texts that was explicit.

It was just you're having the conversation that you're like, oh, you have no right to talk to a 17 year old. But as a, you know, 30 year old, this guy is married, he's got kids. He's talking to a fan on his thing. Right. He's got tons of people on there watching him happen to be talking to one of them wasn't asking for naked pictures, wasn't doing anything of the stuff. They kicked him off the platform. He ended up suing him and they settled, and he's back on the platform. Rightfully so.

You know that that took over a year, right? Because none of this moves fast at that point is very tarnished. Not to mention, probably he would have earned over $10 million in that year. And there are no laws about communicating with anybody. And. Right. Yeah, but but the way this all works is it's a private company. They could do what they want. So the private company can create a law that basically says if you're big, if you're popular enough and you communicate

with somebody under 18, then you're fucked. Yes. Now there were a couple of things. Now there's one other angle here. This girl wasn't, like she was above the age of consent in her jurisdiction to begin with. So it was one of these things where she's allowed to marry a 30 year old in her state. Right. Because every state has different, men. When you're allowed to go even below that with parental consent. Yeah. But regardless, like where this is, you know, Kentucky, Alabama, whatever.

He was the she's allowed to marry in that state. Well, even more, if it's the age of consent, she's allowed to fuck whoever she wants. Yeah, yeah. And they kicked him off for over a year for talking to her through messages. Very bizarre. It is insanity. It's this weird overlap of Puritanism and complete, disregard for things like.

Well, I mean, I don't I don't know how to put it all into one nice little bag with a ribbon tied, but basically having people that are extremely pro-abortion, like they want to not just kill their own kid, they want to kill everybody else's kids, right? Straight.

Having people that want to mutilate children by chopping off their sex organs, and those same people will be the first ones to call somebody a pedophile if, God forbid, they talk to somebody who's under 18, who's 17 years old and 364 or 10,000. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's crazy. It is insanity. Now, should somebody that's over 18 be trading nude photos with somebody under 18? Absolutely not. Not a good thing. But I want to know is there. This is the interesting thing here.

And Ben Rose is in the room asking about this, and I, we can't have him talking unless he pays money though. That's zero. Well, see, I didn't understand this either. When I read this from the NBC news story, which was one of the charges. Generation of child pornography, age 19 or over. Right now, what makes sense would be that if you're somebody did some idiotic plays, that somebody that the country as a whole did any idiotic state change the child porn laws? If you were lewd people for 25?

Well, if you're younger. So if you're the kid, I mean, just just make it perfectly fine for a 15 year old to produce child porn because they're under the age 19. Yeah, you can't have that.

I did a whole episode on this years ago when a case came up. It's like, you can't vary because you're like, well, but you can't. Not very either, because if you were to enforce laws as written, you'd have to place entire high schools like 40 to 60% of them in prison. Right. Let's. Because because everybody in high school sends everybody else. You don't get to decide whether you want to abide by the law or not. You can't. No, no, they do, they do.

Because then the anybody under the age of 18 can now be a child porn king. They can produce any one. Yeah they can. It's insane. Yeah, but you can't watch it once you're over 18. It's it's purely child porn for children is legal. Oh, wow. That would be awesome if there was a show titled for for children. That right. If they wouldn't get kicked back. Every level, every part of the internet. That's a great post. That on that call on your account sets up child porn for children only.

That. But that's effectively what you're saying. Oh, I want those laws. I don't want that. Okay, what I want, I'm just thinking I would like to send that t shirt, maybe the Ben CSB. Would you guys wear a t shirt that said child porn is only for children? I mean, that would be, oh, be perfect. Oh no. Even better. It's a protest t shirt. Cheap child porn only for children, right? Right, right. Oh, I'm telling you, that's what this kind of seems like it is.

But also, as ridiculous as it sounds, it's also a reality because young adults. And it is ridiculous to call somebody is 16. They're 17 child. They're young adult. Yeah. That's what the book categories are by Judy Blume. You know, young adult I agree, you remember those books? Yes. Isn't that cute? Does she do like he does? That's that's the first level of pornography for kids is what those books are. Little Judy Blume. I never read a man. I read the little House.

No, the girls were always reading those books. Dude, the girls were always way ahead of the boys anyway. Well, at that age, they were a, And, Yeah. So it's like there was always. It is it is ridiculous to think that there's a harsher penalty for sending a nude photo of yourself than for actually having sex in the nude with somebody, right. That seems absurd. Well, there are areas where that is the truth, because, as you said, there are states that have the age of consent.

Yeah. Which is 16 or 17. I don't know if anybody's under 16. So for a while there was I mean, I was 14, was the youngest us for a while going back decades. But the reality there are 16 or more now in those jurisdictions. Yeah. Well, a guy, an adult male could have sex with a 17 year old. Yeah, but if he took a photo of her naked. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Credit a file, then you're going to jail. But fucking her was fine taking the picture. That's illegal. It doesn't mean laws that don't make sense.

I'm not saying which one of these is right and which one is wrong, but maybe they should all work together in a way that makes sense or it's true. And I think there is a distinction which is never made in this country. It's made in other countries between genuine pedophilia, meaning children, and somebody who is 16 or 17. There's not quite an adult, but it it's certainly no child, you know, when, you look at the, well, it doesn't even matter if it's boys or girls, right?

You look at a 16 or 17 year old, they have fully developed the features that differentiate them from the other sex. True. Right. Historically, if you look at that age group, the age of marriage was typically right after, puberty, maybe. I think most, most cultures recognized that marriage before puberty. There's something wrong with that. But post puberty, like, that's when nature is the most, Yeah. You're ready to rock and roll. Yeah. You're ready. That's a good way of putting it.

I was trying to find the phrase for it, but you're physically ready now. Mentally, you still have some growing to do, there's no doubt about that. And I think you probably grew up a lot quicker. You know, 50 years ago, you also didn't live much past 45. Right. So it was a different world. It was a different world. But our our physical bodies haven't changed. If anything, they've they've gone further in that direction because these days puberty is hitting everybody at like ten.

Yeah. Thanks to everything in the water or something. Something. Yeah. So I just I think I mean, 18 is not, a ridiculous age to make that kind of universally accepted as an adult. But we all know plenty of people in their early 20s that are as stupid as children. True. And we certainly have known people in their teens who are much more mature. Well, this guy was 27 again, five foot two, looked like a high school. It looked like a very small high school.

I don't know how much tail the five foot two guys in high school were they ever getting laid? I don't remember that being though, because most most people are really, you know, hitting the upper edge of their height that they're ever going to get by the time they're in high school. And the interesting thing here for the lefties out there were the fact that they're talking. Granted, he went to two different schools. Spent the less than 54 days, it looks like in actual classes.

But the schools, the quotes that I saw were things like, well, yeah, we asked for, you know, birth certificate and vaccinations and blah, blah blah, but we really don't verify anything. And even if somebody comes in without that, because of all the laws for people experiencing homeless illness. And you asked about the age, the one person said that they have to allow anyone that says they are 21 or younger. Maybe it was younger than 21, a very small difference.

But if you walk into a high school and say, I'm 20 years old, I'm homeless, I would like to get schooling. They will have to enroll. You. So this, you know, it's a very interesting concept because it doesn't seem although the place that this guy seemed to get nailed was, oddly, offering thing an underage girl money to take photographs. Which I guess brings us to a whole different level. Not really. What do you think that high school boys don't offer high school, so. But he wasn't.

He wasn't a high school boy. I money in high school. What do you mean? He was a high school boy. He was. He was in high school. He was in high school. You're right about that. Yeah. Makes him a high school boy. You're like, this is why Mo lords all summer. So. Exactly. So I can make the girls take off after. This is really work. I want to know this as well. I mean, look, all of us five, four, two. A guy is always going to have to offer money. There's nothing unusual about that. Yes, please.

Ma'am, it's, But it was very weird because it's like, where is the blame if the schools are admitting that they will let anybody in without doing any kind of due process to verify that they are who they say they are. And if all he is, you know, I don't even know if this guy said how old he was if anybody ever asked him. I mean, this could be like one of these things, you know, like the concept, you know, hey, that's probably illegal to ask, right?

Well, if I ask you if you're a cop, you have to tell me, right? Yeah. I mean, yeah, there's that. But if nobody ever asked, it was just like, well, you're in class, you know, you're a junior in high school, so everybody, by the way, where the hell does that come from? Which part if you ask if you're a cop. Yeah, I feel like does that 70 show a lot of TV I think is the, the like, if you ask me.

But it's so ridiculous because cops are literally allowed to lie to you while they're, they're talking to you like that's there's nothing illegal about a cop. Like, what makes you think that if you ask a cop if he's a cop, he's not gonna lie to you. If he's a cop, you got to tell me if you're a cop, right? Nope. You got to tell me, man. If I ask if you're a podcast, you gotta tell me if you're a podcaster, right? Definitely not real. All right, let me restart my computer here real quick.

You windows machine. Oh yeah. You got to restart that. Give me a little update message thing saying hey you want to restart. There were a text messaging of course him and the other girls like safe. Oh no. Turn that off whatever that is. The computer just restarted it I don't know it's telling me to fly safe. I have no control over that. I saved my friend's life. Safe.

I thought it was a quite interesting case, especially since it seems the penalties for this guy are, I mean they're level really, really. He's going to be thrown into dirty prison. Well he's just, I don't know if he's going to be in prison with Diddy. Yeah. I mean maybe they can maybe they can get together and do that. I don't think anywhere anyone would want to be in prison with Diddy, you know, like did. He's not a good cellmate. Well, it sounds like Diddy is pretty gay.

Yeah, but, I mean, so if you're looking for some action in prison, I mean, there you go. Maybe. Yeah, if you're looking for action, I guess. Sure. Yeah. It says, the guy was sentenced to at least 85 years in prison and a maximum sentence of. All right, this is what I'm saying. Shit. This is what I'm saying, and I'm not. Sentencing I did was right. I'm just pointing like, if the guy wants something actually bad, like he raped some chick. They were dead, right?

No. Yeah. Whatever he got, he got consensually. God bless you, Jim. Thank you. Yeah, I was thinking, should I mute myself? That's like. Yeah, screw it. I don't care. So they'll be okay. He misled people about his age, but I'm not even sure if he actually ever lied about his age. So where are the. Yeah. You know, and again, I understand you know, what you're doing because, you know, the girls are underage. You know, you're over age. So there's got to be there's got to be a smack down.

But 85 years for this when you hear but is not being prosecuted, he's doing three other shows at the exact same time. Is this one. Sorry, I'm producing something else right now. Go on. Dude's got a whole different level of stuff that is going on at the same time, it is interesting because women have done the same thing, and I'd like to know if there real punishments are at that same level.

You know, I also think it's interesting they were charging the one guy, one kid's dad who was like 16 or 17, but he was fucking the teacher. And they're like putting the teacher in jail or putting the dad in jail because he knew. And it's like they're treating the kid like he's a victim. And again, if you're a 16 or 17 year old boy, you're fucking you're hot, young 20 something year old teacher. You're not a fucking victim, right? Right, right. Just saying.

KSP says he napped while listening to the podcast. So this is how exciting the show has been for him, Another 3333 though. So we each get around 3333. This is a big money show for unrelenting. Wow. But this is the, this is the world we currently live in, in the United States where people are committing heinous, violent crimes and being allowed to walk in this idiot. Granted, he's an idiot, and he took advantage of some people. Yeah, no one's knowing he's an idiot. But 85 years minimum.

Seems, it seems a little bit excessive. I mean, unless for some crazy reason the article just doesn't mention actual things. He did write that there's things we don't know. You know? You know, it's like, well, okay, people lie about who this is. Maybe this is going to be another thing. Like if you're on, if you're on X and you tell people you're taller and smarter than you are, then you are misrepresenting yourself so they will be able to drag you to jail.

I don't think that's the case, but I would hope not. No. I never represent misrepresent myself. How many people? Okay, here's the real thing. How many people online actually tell the truth with regularity online, Right to you. But you have to laugh because it's like, probably zero. Maybe he barfed the prosecutor's daughter says Bevers. We'll see that. Would, that would make a lot of sense. Like oh did you accidentally. Well now you get into, conspiracy questions.

Sure. Who were the girls and why did they go for the five foot two guy? Oh, maybe that's why he went young, you know, how do you get 13 year olds in high school? They have to be really smart because high school is not, 13 year old, right? I mean, it's 14, right? And up. I mean, it's it's like, yeah, I think 15 and up. I thought so, I mean, yeah, definitely in 15 because there's nobody in high school that isn't getting their driver's permit at least once in a year.

Yeah. I mean, that's, the graduating at 18. I mean, you're graduating at 18, so you're ending at 18. You're not usually graduating at 19. Yeah. I mean, I guess some people are 17 and they're graduating, so it doesn't mean. I guess it depends on the schools. Yes. You could have somebody that's 14, but that that would be highly unusual would be briefly. I don't really know how you get 13 unless you're really contingent. Says he graduated at 17. So he must just be smart.

He's one of them unusual people. He was 14. Were you getting laid at 14? Cotton gin. These are the kind of questions in the trial room that we'd like to know. CSB where you get. No, you don't want me to know that Jesus Christ did come out. It's unrelenting. Right in the name. You don't think people would find the exploits of a young CSB to be interesting? No, I understand we want to keep a certain level of decorum on this show. We started out with gout talk.

We made our way all the way down the line. We are now here. Yeah. Daily wire study says millions of non-citizens likely to vote in the 2024 election. All that. Yeah. The Daily Wire claiming as many as 27% of non-citizens are illegally registered to vote no. We were told by all the lefty blowhard bullshit artists that that couldn't even happen. Yeah, well, there you go. Seems like it may be worse. You never know the truth. Because if the other side comes back and, like, well, that's not true.

It's how easy it is to debunk things or to get people to stop. And the media stop asking questions anyway. No. That's what I love is is the invention of a supposed scientific category called fact checker. Right. Because they're going to be the ones telling you the truth, right. Because because what qualifies any fact checker for checking the facts and it appears to be their ability to type into a search term on the internet is the only qualification of fact checker.

But yet you have literally fact checkers that are saying fact check false to people with an MD behind their name. Right, who actually spent years studying before they got their MD, and then years working in the field with the MD and are being fact checked by people that have a degree in lesbian underwater basket weaving. Whoa whoa whoa, that's a damn good major. It might be a good degree, but it has nothing to do with medicine.

And somebody who has, like, one year of experience as a fact checker. And it's just it's an absurdity. So anytime you say you hear something like, well, you hear the word fact check, it should be put in the same category as the, the word or what's the term that they use, the, misinformation. Yeah. Misinformation. Exactly. All that whole slew of terms.

It's these are these are words that should trigger an automatic reaction of like, well, this person just disqualified themselves from providing any legitimate information.

If you use words like that, it means that you are a propagandist, not an actual person trying to exchange information because a non propagandist would never use words like that. Fact check. False check. False faith fact check here, fact check there. And there's very few things that people want to fact check in our current society that can actually be fact checked. It's not like they're coming out and saying, oh, at what temperature does water boil or anything?

Then you can scientifically prove and you know, it's more like Donald Trump's a racist fact check. But I think Snopes started this trend like 15 years ago, whatever it is that long they've been around this idea that, oh, we're going to have a whole company full of people that can type in search terms. Right? But we're going to have that place people go to find out whether things are bullshit or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And and certainly when they first started and I'm going off memory.

So I think it's great. But it may not be I think their main thing they were working on was sort of internet legends, which is a lot of things that kind of came to be assumed or believed about the internet by people on the internet, and they they actually did some research and went back. It's like, well, this term didn't come up until this year. So clearly it couldn't have been that, you know, things like or, you know, ascribing evil deeds to Bill gates, which they thought was false.

Turns out it was true. Or, scribing, you know, good things to the DNC, which turns out to be false. They thought it was true.

So this whole notion of fact checking, of things that are not independently verifiable, but historically through research could be verified, I think can be, well, and at the same time, I think, I think they can be utilized for propaganda purposes, and they are being utilized for that because all these fact checkers have the qualifications to do is to do Google searches and not just Google.

Obviously, any search engine, they don't have actual expertise in the field they're fact checking for, right, when you find vastly different things. Yeah. And and so what you're really is you're starting with something you believe to be false. You want to disprove it. You do searches online for things that might discredited disprove that thing. And then you stick it on your website called Snopes. And you say that that that was clearly a false thing that was said by this person.

We don't like, because, here's all the information that we found online that that says it's a false thing. That's all it is. It's just real, you know, it's propaganda. Well, that's all everything ever actually is real is propaganda. I don't think that's a true statement. Fact check. False false. True fact check. False fact check. True. That everything's propaganda and that many things are. But deciphering whether something is propaganda or not. I guess that's the question.

And the whole notion of a fact checker is an anathema, because, frankly, what we ought to be doing as a society is promoting and teaching people to be able to analyze information and determine for themselves its validity based on a set of rules that's you shouldn't outsource the ability to determine whether something is true or false, like outsourcing. That is stupid. And that no cotton gin. MythBusters didn't start that I was curious. MythBusters originally aired in 2003. Snow came on in 1994.

Holy shit. That's way older than I thought. I thought they were in 2000 as well. So interesting there. Yeah. So Snopes been around even longer. Yeah, eight years. Longer than MythBusters. Yeah. But again, I it's Snopes probably wasn't even the beginning of that. They were at the beginning on the internet.

And MythBusters, incidentally, also started off, if you look at season one, because I remember watching that they started off by literally disproving or proving or demonstrating myths, like, could you make a rope out of toilet paper that you could then use to escape prison? Yes. And they turned out, yes. You could think a ridiculous amount of toilet paper to do it. And you could you could be done. But what exactly I think they had.

Yeah, they had, one of the people, actually climbed down the rope. Might have been Carrie, I guess. But, yeah, you find the person who weighs the last, the waste, the last. Please send them up there. Because the original MythBusters, it had, two chicks and the guy and, one of the chicks. Oh. The blond ratio. Yeah, she she was, like, tattooed. She was. And she actually had skills, like cherry. Cherry was. I never understood why they hired Carrie.

She was reasonably cute, I guess, but she wasn't, like, hot. She was nerdy, cute. And she had zero skills. There was nothing that she came with. Skills. Grant had built robots. He's an engineer. He had all kinds of skills. What was the robots have you built? Or if you just buy them virtually? I've built two. Oh, yeah. Years ago, I actually, this is back in the day during the, the robot BattleBots days. I, I was working for a company that may or that didn't make.

They they were a distributor of robotics parts, and I had convinced them to sponsor us. Oh, nice. Make a bot for BattleBots. Somebody gave you money to do this. What are these parts? Parts? Yeah, parts. Exactly. Which was as good as money at the time. This would have been 97, maybe thereabouts, like 7 or 8. And was there a chainsaw or, circular saw or some kind of method of death on the bot? No, it was a spinning, but. You never did get the Sir James Butler bot.

Is that what brings you now with your gout? You get the, 13th butler right there. When people are wanting to buy this man, they like the strategy. Sir James Butler. What? It will bring you your beer when you can't, stand up. Yeah. Yeah. Standing up's not fun. I mean, once you're standing and you're standing on your heel, it's all right, but it's there. Have you tried roller skates? I get roller skates. I used to roller skate now back in long time ago days.

With that help with the gout. Could you roller skate? Would it help with the gout? Probably not. Because you couldn't fit your foot inside of roller skate. It would be fast. You'll go roller that. I'm. I'm trying to think back. I think I was I started roller blading in like 89. Maybe, and I roller blade it for maybe 3 or 4 years, which is a fact checking, says Kerry from MythBusters was hot. She was that hot. Dude, where did you grow up? If you thought Kerry was hot, where did you grow up?

Wow. Kerry was not unattractive, but like, you put it in the line of of college girls, and she's going to be toward the lower side of the middle. Memorized. You said she was way too old for you. That could be. Now, don't forget, I think when the show started, she was in her early 20s. Well, that for you right there. That's already too old. Let's remind people one more time. I know we're going to get messages next week. Where are they then? Where's that unrealistic. Where are they?

Yeah, we're going to take a hiatus next week. And, we'll be back in two weeks. Yeah, we'll see you October 4th. Get ready for Halloween while we can talk about hot Halloween costumes right here. Oh, man. You remember those college girls and Halloween? Yeah. You wear.

Your. Cotton gin wants to know why every show is going on hiatus. Because nobody donates. Is that why?
