¶ Opening Banter: The Inbred Girl Remark
I mean, for an inbred girl. I guess she's, bad looking. Yeah. I'm happy you. Hello, and welcome to episode number 132 of unrelenting. I'm there on alias. You never truly have. I mean, we are one episode away from 133. That is exciting. Nice. Very exciting. And on the the last episode, we complained that we weren't to very, very well funded. I mean, that's an obvious, thing that happens on a lot of these shows.
And the last episode I remember getting up Friday morning, I was having some kind of computer issue. I was either uninstalling something or installing something there. I was like, well, just to be safe, I will reboot the machine, which I'm not a normal reboot, or I'm not one of those people that's like, every day, gotta reboot. I won't go for days or weeks or, well, not really months because Microsoft will never let you go. Months. Yeah, I was gonna say, why did you get a mac?
Right. You never have to turn it off. It's great. But I think I think a reboot by them in series 3 to 4 months, it's about the way the max would go when you need the updates. When there's a security update, you need to do something. Well, they they install all that stuff without rebooting, but the ones that really require the reboots and probably every three months and the Reno, it was just again being extra special careful. Like I'll reboot it just because.
Because it's old school. Because that's what I'm used to. And it was one of the few times I did not remember to because I'm turning on the OBS, which runs the signal over to X, so I'm opening up that I'm opening up and opening up Adobe Audition, which we record this show in on the multitrack. I'm opening up the browser for clean feed so I can actually hear Gene.
I am opening up all the podcasting 2.0 stuff, and then I didn't open up Thunderbird, my email client, because if I would have, oh, somebody is making a go. Pupu already. If I would have done that, I would have noticed that sometime between like the hour before the show started and the show started, Dale from Down Under came in with 103 48 and then get them with another 2625 during the show. Wow. So now I gotta make sure monitor we're going to have to be the dialog.
Normally, nobody said anything before the show, but it really it's rare to get anything during the show. So we appreciate that it. Oh yeah CSB is making it go pupu with the 4848. And he just want you to go to CSB Dot lol. And he says Aaron go bro. Which I guess at least is it. All hail you Clint. What he said what Aaron go brah. Which means forever Ireland or something like that. I was going to say it doesn't sound polish at all. No, it's not. Yeah, yeah. Because Ireland is Aaron in Irish.
What's that? Yeah. What? I don't know what that means. It is, like forever Ireland. It's like a rallying cry. Irish is a it's a very interesting language. Difficult language. I've thought about know Welsh where there was at one point, you know, maybe ten years ago when all of these, and they were horrible, probably by today's standards. But there was the Rosetta Stone programs. They're actually good. I've heard a lot of people that I've learned languages that way.
I started doing Italian and did it for maybe a month or so. And so I know a few little things here and there. But yeah, I looked at the Irish, the Gaelic, and it's like no one hardly know what the thing with. Yeah, the thing about it is you have to completely disregard all the letters. Yeah. Kind of. Once you disregard the letters, I think then it's probably no more difficult than any other language.
But they just kind of throw a soup of letters into things that aren't pronounced the way they're spelled whatsoever. There is a it's literally the opposite of German. Well, this is the interesting thing because I'm not a Stephen Colbert fan at all. But he had on, the one Irish actress, I'm forgetting her name. Siobhan. Molly. No, no, I think it's Siobhan Ryan.
I forget her last name. Yes. And he had a bunch of Irish names printed out on cards, and he asked her, well, how do you how do you pronounce these? Right, right. Yes. I saw that episode. Yeah. In the last one. Whatever. I don't remember the name, but she said, do you remember how to go ahead? Go ahead. But he was just he was just like, screw. You know, there's no way that what you just said has anything to do with the letters. And yes, that's okay. Like, for you.
But you remember how to spell Siobhan, right? I o b h a yeah, there's something like that. That's great. Yeah, it is. But it's like. Yeah, that's like an easy one, I know. No, no, it's a it should be pronounced so mean. It's like it doesn't make any sense. No. It's like, that's I think what it is, is remember this, this alphabet that the English are using is actually Roman.
And so when the Romans came in to conquer the UK and bring written language because, you know, the Picts didn't really write things down, I think that there was probably a lack of teaching of the,
¶ Technical Glitches and Reboot Rituals
the barbarians and how to actually use the Roman language and that the, the, the verbal versus the writing down. Yep. Nobody wrote it down. Right, exactly. So I think if, if they used like Esperanto to write down the spoken language, I think you'd have much easier language to learn. But that's what I tried that and I was like, I know, I'm sure there are better way. Maybe there's not. As far as what is the most efficient way to learn a language.
And then as opposed to, you know, I'm sure there are different languages that are much easier if you're an English speaker. I'm sure there's languages that are much easier if you speak something else. I mean, it will, you know, really do to our, Chinese overlords. We should all probably know Mandarin. Not an easy language. Well, that's what they they show in, Firefly. I remember. Well, actually, both Firefly and, Bladerunner. It's been such a long time since I watch Firefly.
Great series, though. I just rewatched it, like, because it's only, you know, two seasons, right? Or is it only one? It's basically one season. It's 12 episodes. Yeah. Nathan Fillion before the Castle. Yeah, which I haven't seen that, but it apparently Castle has a lot of inside references to Firefly. It did, yes. Which was funny because most of the people watching Castle would never watch Firefly. Right? Right. Although Nathan Fillion seems like one of the few guys
in Hollywood that isn't a complete douchebag. So. Well, we haven't seen him vote for for camera video yet, so just wait. Well, he's Canadian. I don't know if he did he get that. Maybe he's got that ever South actors in Hollywood from, telling Americans who to vote for. Probably not. It's, you know, what's vital at this very important election, that you vote for the person who has no experi and said no ideas of how to fix any problems.
And, and, I love the hope and change theme that they got going and voting for somebody who's already been in office for four years. Well, and God bless Kamala for going on The View and giving one honest answer, which it was weird if I use the word but as it was pointed out, I know agenda yesterday and I didn't really even pay attention to this the first time around. Sunny Hostin is looking down and reading this question. So this wasn't even an off the cuff question. This was pre-scripted.
So you would have assumed that Kamala's people would have gotten this. And the question was, well, okay, you've been vice president for three and a half years under Joe Biden. Would you have if you were in control, would you have done anything differently? And she said, no. It's like, wait a minute, sweetie. Honey, Joe Biden had like a 28% approval rating when they decided to yank his chain and get him out of the race. So you saying nobody done everything just the way he would have do.
That's like the dumbest thing you could possibly say. Okay. Especially after he threw her under both I know well with the with so a few different things. The the Santos thing was hilarious. The DeSantis thing was hilarious and I don't think no agenda had the audio from there.
So Riley did back to back, played Kamala Harris on the tarmac, wherever she was probably heading to Vegas because that's where she ended up going when the hurricane was coming down, was to go to Vegas, because that's really going to be this is going to be helpful. You could really just monitor everything going on. But they had her on the tarmac saying, and Jane Cheney, get Ahold of Randy Santos. But for some reason he won't take my her where where, you know, I don't know why.
She sounds like an old man, but that was her whole bit. And then it cuts to the old guy, Joe Biden, who's like, no, no. I've talked to Ron DeSantis multiple times. He is doing a great job. I even gave him my personal cell phone number in case he needs me for anything else. We are working together. Great. You know, Joe is Joe is every old man who gave notice that he's finally going to retire. I know, and his last couple of months at his job, he's got a sprawling instead he's whistling.
I know he's helpful. Everybody loves them. Was like, oh, what a nice guy, man. It's too bad he's retiring all of a sudden. We love Joe. It's like, this guy's the best. Go dark Brandon, Go dark MAGA, baby. Dark maga, dark bear. And then they get together. You get a whole new thing. And, I mean, I think it all started when he put the Trump hat on. Oh, I think that's true. At the fire station. That was fricking hilarious.
It was the sign that things have changed, that there is now going to be a new push. But Kamala, that just shows she has zero ability to understand what's going on around her. I love how they they've completely won the 80s, and they're trying to use age as a major negative factor with Trump. I know, and they're was the young face of the Democrat Party literally a month after they were trying to push an old dude and saying, age is not an issue. Yeah, it's oh, it's the hypocrisy is great.
The hypocrisy is dialed up to 11. But they have been trying this. This is something that has been covered a lot over on Planet Rage, the show I do what Larry Lightner blender, whatever you want to call him. Do you do another show? Do you and I do. I do a couple of them. I mean, one's out of hiatus right now, though.
¶ Mac vs. PC: The Never-Ending Debate
Yeah, the left has been pushing for a while, at least the more radical, idiotic talking heads that are on like the YouTubes and those kind of things. Saying that Trump can't have a coherent thought. Everything we were saying about Biden and bringing proof behind it because there were plenty, they keep saying it about Trump without bringing any proof. And it's funny because they will often bring a clip and be like, well, I have no idea what he just said there.
And I'm thinking, but that was all rational, that I understood it. So maybe everybody on the left is having aneurysms where TDs possibly, and they're hearing the words in a different way than the rest of us hear them, because that would be the only thing that makes sense. Yeah, but the left is going nuts. The one guy, David Pacman, who is a YouTuber, I think he's on radio stations. Megan Kelly's had a mom. I've seen him on other shows, so people are giving his opinion. Some kind of wait.
He was talking about JD Vance and I thought maybe this was a slip up because I mean it's just so weird. Disney well that's true. But as we've heard for a long long time you know Trump is Hitler. Trump is horrible. Trump is a threat to democracy. And I've pushed for years. You know what they did the same thing almost two or the same level with George Bush the younger.
If people remember that he went from being a bumbling idiot, that he went to being a threat to democracy, and he went to being like a bond villain. And I said, it really didn't matter whether this time around, you know, whether it was Trump or whether it was DeSantis, it wasn't going to matter in this. David Pacman, who over on the other show I always called David Pac. Fuck was talking about JD Vance. And he said it is terrifying that he would be one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Well when you break that down you're then saying you think JD Vance is worse than Donald Trump right. It's like what does that tell you. All this stuff that's being thrown at Trump is bullshit. Because it's not like you would think most people if they think Trump is the most horrible Hitler. Well, the guy that he picks for vice president has to be better. So you'd be you'd be rooting.
Yeah. That the vice president takes over when you say you're terrified that he would take over like that shows you the left does not care about whether it's Donald Trump, anybody that is a threat to them, they will pull the same bullshit up. And that has to be obvious by now. Yeah. That all the rhetoric is it's just so ridiculous.
Coming out of the left I, you know I had the, a friend of mine that came out, to tell me he was actually here for a wedding, but we ended up being, you know, for the whole day, one of his, days after the wedding. And, he's, a left toast. Sorry. A right coast liberal East Coast liberal. And I took him out to the gun range, to, go shooting them. Another buddy of our is joining us out there as well. Brought some of his guns.
So there's probably, you know, over a dozen guns that that we have between us to go around and, he and his wife having a great time and, and one of the guns that our other buddy brought was a Donald Trump gun. That was a nice Amber gray. Yeah. So it was a Glock with, all the Trump logo stuff on there. And his wife, its wife said that was her favorite gun shoot. Like, she like that most I like to trump gun. And I thought, this is this is perfect.
Is there like, orange fur on top of it just to, just to bring the whole thing home? There's no orange fur. But, it's been a week or so since, they left, and, the, the the, East Coast guy sent a text message to both me and our other mutual friend and who may actually be listening to this session. Hey, Adam, how are you going? And, I said, hey, you know, it's my wife's birthday is coming up, and I was thinking of getting her that Trump gun. I was gonna say, you know, there's diamonds.
There's, And then there's the Trump gun as far me as you can put them together. Can you get the diamond encrusted Donald Trump? I think you got to be a rapper for that. That probably. Yeah. But you're rappers used to love Trump, man. Oh of course. And a lot of them still do. They just don't talk about unless of course, you know why it's the Jews around Hollywood. The intriguing thing like with Snoop, he went through a phase. He was all in on Trump, you know, before the presidential thing.
Then he went all anti-Trump. But then Trump pardoned, like one of his buddies. Right? Right. And I don't because he before that, I think Snoop even made some video that, you know, was showing a Trump looking like getting killed or something like that. But after he pardoned his body, Snoop woods, has been, I believe, and I don't I haven't heard anything differently. I think he kind of changed his tune. Like, I'm not going to say anything bad about him. I did me a solid. Trump's not a bad dude.
Much more. I rather have a beer with him then. Kamala.
¶ Podcast Prep and Software Setup
I mean, jeez. Oh my God, are you kidding? No. She'd have to pay me to sit and have a beer with her just to listen to whatever she says. Jesus, I don't even like quietly. I'd some church let me, I don't want to hear a cackle. Just. She does not appear in this, jcd the has said this on, no agenda lot. She just does not appear to be a smart person at all. She does not know. And then it just goes to show you that you don't need to be intelligent to pass the bar. No, I mean, what you just need to.
And she's obviously decent at memorizing things. She's not good at thinking. She's good at memorizing things. Yeah. I don't know how many different skills you could give. The same answer. And it's not like she has talking points in her mind that she knows how to throw other words around to make it seem like she's coming up with the thoughts over and over again. It's like, I don't think she was a good lawyer. I think she basically just wrote other people's cocktails.
Yeah, well, she is a, a machine politician is, That's how Bill O'Reilly describes it, is that she got into office, and then she was pretty much giving, given her marching orders. And that's all she does. She repeats, does whatever they tell her to do. And there's something to be said about that. This is going along with the idea that, you know, the people that are the face of the government are really the ones in charge.
The Obama admin, Barack was out there and it was just very strange that he wanted to talk directly. And I still had the window open, but he went like, well, there seems to be a problem. I gotta talk to the brothers that, you know, they don't want to, you know, vote for Kamala or whatever. And it's like, again, this is this is so racist to be, hey, you gotta vote for the woman who looks like you. I mean, just imagine if this was anybody on the other side. Yeah, exactly.
So you gotta vote for a man because he looks like you, right? You got to vote for the white guy because he looks like you. It's like, well, then that would be racist all the way. But, Barack. No. Hey, brothers, you gotta vote. And he was like, she has a experi, you know, the same experience as you. And he's like, you know, they, you know, you went to college together. And I'm thinking a lot of the brothers do not go to college. Barack, are you want to wear this?
Yeah. It just seemed like he was so disconnected and even understanding what he was saying. Or maybe this is, you know, more of a messaging that, you know, that he doesn't really care about Kamala either. Like, I gotta go say something. This is the things that they're saying just aren't hitting home. They're not making sense. You're not talking about what kind of money is going to be left in somebodys wallet. At the end of the day. And that's one of the things on our ballot here in Illinois.
Oh should we have an extra 3% income tax added on to those making over $1 million to provide property tax relief. So the question is basically hey do you think you're paying too much for property tax Jean. Well yes, of course I do. Would you like to people making $1 million or more a year to pay for your property tax? Well hell yeah, I would. It's really kind of disgusting. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's, honestly, I think Democrats are in zombie mode right now.
Like, after Joe Biden and swallowing the pill that made you pretend that he is a viable candidate. I think at this point it's well, I mean, it's back to the same thing, right? Any anybody but Trump, right? Well, I think that they don't what the left is running on. It's all just that's what they're running. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody but Trump anybody but Trump. It's like it's almost as if, if any other Republican candidate was available. Like they would just endorse him.
You know, that's not true because as we said just a moment ago, the leftist, David Pacman and I'm sure others oh, it's it's it's it's terrifying that JD Vance could be one heartbeat away. Well then it's not just anybody but Trump, right? Right. But it just seems like a better way because we have nothing to run on that you're going to like population. So we go anti-Trump because we feel we can get people to, to go down for that. Let's see, I got the clip here from, not the clip from Obama.
The quote is now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don't mind just for a second, I've got to speak to y'all and say that when was the last time, Barack, do you think Barack, when he's hanging out with his rich buddies, meeting, you know, the Queen? Do you think he says, y'all a lot? Seems like the the strange thing that Barack would pull out. Is they all did this is I think Hillary was the most pronounced at that.
And that like, free Barack getting elected even where she would change her, language pattern for the crowd. Right. She became all Southern and Arkansas when she needed to, you know, I mean, it's fun. I mean, I guess if I stood up in front of a crowd and I was like, here's, here's the problem, here's the problem is you have to understand that these events are recorded. Yeah. And having an inconsistent speech pattern
¶ Surprise Donations and Listener Shoutouts
that clearly is for the crowd. Yeah. Makes you. Well, it doesn't make you, but it demonstrates just how much you're racist. You're it shows you are definitely pandering. You know, if I don't normally talk with an Irish accent and you get in front of an Irish crowd, you're like, are you fucking fuckers? What are you doing, you fucking pig fuckers. How are you doing? All right. Yeah. You start just talking about how the Irish is actually a bunch of heroes.
Then the next thing you know, things start changing quickly. Yeah, here's what it be. Well, it'd be like if I'm hanging out with a bunch of liberals, I'd be talking about how, you know, Ukraine really deserves to have democracy and all this bullshit. And, except one thing, speech patterns. And it's the same. It's the same thing, though. I mean, yes, it's a different you're trying to fit what you're doing, but for the same reason. It it is essentially a flip flop on your personality.
And especially when it's when, like you said, it's pandering because you're emulating the other group, not really being genuinely who you actually are. But then again, what are we talking about? Politicians come on to they are the ultimate chameleon, the Kamala chameleon. You go down to Texas now I see that, by the way. By the way, yeah. What about Dana Carvey? Well, Dana Carvey is a G. Yes. Oh, I've missed that guy. You don't realize how much you miss that until it comes back.
Mean. It's like, Holy shit, the guy's sharper than anybody else on that show. It seems like it would be easy to do like the Biden impersonation. It's not. It is not. It takes a lot of practice. The Barack Obama statement, though, that I wanted to like, run by everybody was, well, I've got to speak to y'all and say that when you have a choice that is this clean.
When on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you went to college with you, understands the struggles, pain, and joy that comes from those experiences. Yeah. I don't understand one how the that is all that different. But the, the word clean jumped out to me. I don't know if I've ever heard anybody else say that your choice in the presidential election is super clean. I think he meant clear. I don't think so.
I don't I mean I just jumped back to, in my mind, Joe Biden talking about Barack Obama, you know, the racist that Joe Biden seemed to be. And remember, he said he was a very clean, real individual. I mean, I can understand maybe this was just a typo. I have to get the audio now because if he actually said, if the choice is this clean, that I want them, I want to break down.
If this is just Fox being bad, a journalism in which I could also believe, then, then that's something else which this deputy proofread anything? No, I guess they do not. But I don't expect he meant clear. I still don't understand the concept of grew up like you went to college with you. Now a large part of the black community not to go to college. Okay, I can translate that. They're trying to make it seem like she's not a somebody so different.
I understand he's trying to make her seem more like them. Yes, yes. And went to college with you. Meaning she went to college because of her skin color, not because of her grades. She got the diversity thing going. Yeah. He's like, look, she's she's a horrible student. She should never have gone to college. She's she could barely spell her name, but she's black, which she isn't. Just like, he isn't neither one of those black people. He's more black than she is. But.
Well, obviously, you know, her real name is Pamela. She's just been spelling it wrong. Yeah, exactly. So they had to change it. She she's allegedly. Her father's family had black ancestry, and, number one, she didn't look like it. Number two, you know, all the alleged black traditions, stuff she talks about, it didn't exist in her family because her parents got divorced in 1972 when she was a little kid. Well, she never talks about moving to Canada for five years.
And when, back in the 70s, parents got divorced, it was an automatic mom gets the kids thing and her mom is 100% Indian. She's Tamil Indian. So from South India where they have the darkest skin of all the different Indian provinces. And so whatever Tam Kamala has comes from her mom, not her dad. And so there's a, I think if, if we ever get actual results of her 23 and me test, I think that I'd be more black. And she is very possible.
I mean, you won the t shirt once, which may put you right over the once. Like a break over the edge. Might put you white over the edge. You're right there. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I it's just she looks like a very stereotypical southern Indian chick. And I've watched a lot of Bollywood movies, so I know these things and the, which are the best ones?
¶ Cracking the Code of the Irish Language
Okay, I don't know. I'm good enough to tell you names. There was a there's a movie theater here. And it doesn't exist anymore. That's why I say was that wasn't too far away from me, and it was a Cinemark theater. So it it was, you know, a large, fairly new theater that played some Bollywood movies every Wednesday night. And I would often go to watch these things because I saw I kind of like Bollywood in general, but, I think it was hilarious to watch.
And I've always thought this not just for Bollywood stuff, but it was hilarious watching movies without a English translation. So yeah, like figure out what was being said. Yes, yes. So I like I've done that with Chinese films. I've done that with a whole ton of movies.
I don't know, maybe some people think it's kind of crazy, but I, I find it just fascinating watching something, not understanding the language that is spoken and trying to figure out based on actions what people are likely saying. And generally you're completely wrong because that, yeah, I mean, the whole point of a movie is to subvert expectations. And when you're going without any subtitles or translations or you're tending to follow the expectations. So the it depends on the movie.
But I think a lot of times you're, it's like, oh, well, clearly these two just got married. Next thing you know, they're moving in different countries, okay? They didn't just get married. What the hell was that then? Or maybe it's the best way to do marriage ever. I mean, they might be into something they're, But when they have that running. I used to go probably at least once a month, sometimes more frequently, to watch those movies.
And I remember I took a, like, a couple of friends and they were looking at me like, you're crazy, insane person. Why don't they sit through a movie without the knowing the language? Good music. Good dancing, good music. I mean, they're always visually very pretty. And I think the stories are usually pretty fun. They're. They're kind of a little bit like Chinese films in the sense that there's, like, the good guys aren't just doing positive actions.
They're quite often some of the it's almost borderline like superpowers. You know, like in China, the equivalent is they're like, the good guys are all really excellent at kung fu, right? Yeah. They're just for no reason. They just are. They're. That's the way it is. Yeah. Ninjas are Japanese, so I know, but similar. Yeah, but in Indian movies, it's it's a similar kind of deal.
Not necessarily for fighting, but like, they all seem to have just the kind of a magical superpowers, even if that superpower is like, you know, boy from village that had grew up not wearing shoes, is the valedictorian of his class and becomes a doctor. Okay, not saying couldn't happen, but usually if you're writing a story, you want to not make the main character just have everything go right for them. Yeah, you can't have everything handed to you.
Well, then what have you learned? Yeah, exactly. There is. Gotcha. Yeah, there's got to be a redemption thing in that. Yeah. It's like it's a hero's journey is what we call it in the West. That ain't the case in a lot of these movies. But they're fun to watch. They're they're interesting enough. And, I've watched comedies. I've watched action movies. I watched dramas, just a bunch of them over the years. And what I will definitely say is the, the, there's.
Speaking of racist, there's a very definite cultural bias and racial bias against South India because, they are the darkest of the Indians. And, they also speak a different language. You know, the people have we've forgotten so much history that we don't understand that the world moves in this way. And it has for centuries. Do they not know that, like the Irish were treated that way by the English? And that's because they're black of course. That's why I got to watch The Commitments again.
I speaking of a movie with good music. Gotta watch that flick again. I pulled that clip out and posted it on, the X the other day where the the guy that's trying to get the band together and there's again, Ireland. So very white kids trying to form a soul band and he plays them a clip of James Brown and they're like, whoa. And the one guy is like, don't you think maybe we're a bit too white to pull that off? And that was the guy goes into the, don't you understand?
I mean the, the Irish are the, you know, blacks of Europe in the, the Northern Irish or the blacks of the, the in the word. The North Siders in Dublin are the blacks of Dublin. And he's like, so say it loud, say it. I'm proud black and I'm proud and you know, it's a very white Irish guy. Which that line stuck with me because it actually while being funny all comedy that's really funny holds truth to it. Yeah. The interest and the concept. You're absolutely right.
Yeah. The, the Fox people, though, aren't really full of truth. I found on Trib Live. You were right. Although it's
¶ Language Learning Misadventures
interesting because the quote is slightly different. Trib Live from Obama says, if you don't mind, I'm going to speak to y'all and say that when you have a choice that is this clear. So yeah, but Fox, they just didn't catch that. The choice was clean instead of clear. But then he says in this quote where on one hand you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you went to college with you.
They cut the nose, you part off from the Fox one and didn't do the usual, you know, dot, dot, dot to let people know that something had been edited. Yeah. Which is interesting. You can't just do that. That's not good journalism. You can't pull something out of a quote. What's journalism? I know, I know, I took like one journalism class in college. I think I know more than most of the people doing. I know, I know, I was on the, the board directors of the school paper. The Moscone going.
Yes. The mascot. Right? Yeah. Yes, exactly. Might as well be. I mean, Minnesota is the most socialist state after California. You know, they're getting there, man. My God, it is. It was bad enough when I was living there. It is ten times worse now. It is insane. Well, I mean, Minnesota is like, worse than Michigan. I think at this point.
And Obama went on to then say, and on the other side, you have someone who has consistently shown disregard not just for the communities, but for you as a person. Oh my God, what a lying sack of shit this guy is. Like wow. Yeah. Given the Trump like gave him money I mean being that Trump is a long I mean the NAACP was giving him awards like 12 years ago now. Now he's never he's always showed disregard bullshit. Bullshit.
I mean this is what's black people apparently I think a lot of the folks are turning against this because they know it's bullshit. You're pushing for what I'm seeing in way more YouTube videos of black people talking about voting for Trump. Way more like not videos of somebody's reporting on it, but, you know, self recorded channels of black people, which have you all you heard videos or doing something. But the message being that, yeah, I this the Democrats suck.
And I think all the importing all the Hispanic people into the country through illegal border crossings is really turned off a lot of black.
So yeah, I would say much and I it's almost horrible to say it, but much as what happened in Israel was a wake up call for American Jews and the very real anti-Semitism that exists in this country, I think that the the programs that illegals got on with their free money and free phone and free apartments are really pissing off American blacks now and like, hold up, hold up, hold up. You've been barely letting us get by on government handouts here.
And obviously I'm not generalizing about all black people, but of the people that were on the handouts and black, they're pissed. They're not happy with what they've been getting for the last decade from the government, including under two Democrats, one of whom was black. And now seeing what's happening to the Hispanics coming in under Joe Biden, right. And literally walking into a better situation than the people that were born in this country.
Well, because the people here have been told, well, this is all we have as far as the resources go, we have no more. But then all they find a lot more. Yeah, yeah. This is like watching it. Sorry. I was gonna say this is what Peterson, Santa Antonello over on YouTube and others have found that we're going in, and this is not anything new. This is over the last 2 or 3 years since the border crossing started talking to people in the inner cities.
This is a very common thread that we have a lot of homeless here. We have people that are hungry, they don't get taken care of, but everybody that's being busted or shows up, all of a sudden they're getting taken care of. One that's going to cause racism. Oh yeah, and two, it's going to cause civil unrest. So yep. They're living in hotels. Yes. And they're getting stipends every month and free phones and the like. The benefits are substantial. Enough so that apparently Sema is out of money.
Yeah, but. Oh, that was a different bucket. That money was kept in jail. This. Has anybody believe that? So was it the Ukrainians or was it the illegal border crossers that bankrupted this country? Yes, I can't tell. Yes. Both. And this is part of it. The deficit is huge. Trump was a big spender too. So I'm not going to say he wasn't. But the Biden-Harris administration spent over the last year I think it was 1.8 trillion more than they brought in.
And taxes. And the tax revenues were record level. Oh, but they're working on that right now. They they've hired a billion new tax collectors right after individuals. Right. Because even if you take every penny from every billionaire, not just tax them, you take every cent that they have, you can make the government run for eight months and you're right back where you started. Oh, and incidentally, who who are you paying all those, all those interest fees to exactly the China's.
Well the frankly that would be preferable. It's not even the Chinese. It's the shadow government.
¶ Hollywood Chats: Firefly, Castle, and Nathan Fillion
The Soros is the people make it. It's the billionaires. Yeah, it's the billionaires. The BlackRock's the BlackRock's own this country right now. Man, they don't I mean, they do care who the president's been in a lot of ways. They don't really care because they know it's theirs. Either way, they're going to figure out a way to make money at it. The reform that needs to happen is unfortunately, it's not on the presidential side. It is something that only Congress can do.
And they almost congresspeople, people, including Republican ones, oh, no doubt. Yeah, I think there's about 16 people in the House that are not. But I've literally everybody else is getting donations from Blackrock. It's the swamp baby. You know, you got to follow the money. You have to know where the money is coming from. The amount of money being raised from, the time she announced, I don't know where the stat came from.
This is according to Bill O'Reilly, who usually double checks things since Kamala Harris was made the candidate. And raise you mean has raised $1 billion. Yeah. Anointed but $1 billion. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's a what do you what. You know what. He expects a lot of money going into this. And I don't understand the need for this anymore. They're buying a lot of television ads and I'm asking who watches television. Nobody wants stories. Television.
Certainly not the voters that they're going after. They don't watch television. Do you think they have? They're not going after boomers. Is this what they have a clue. Dude, this is this is a payola program, not an actual advertising campaign. This is paying off the networks for lying about Trump. But does anybody watch the networks? Yes, yes, and I'll tell you how. Not by watching television, but by watching short little clips on YouTube.
Yeah. I mean, I think it's hilarious that Keith Olbermann, another ultra left loon. Last week actually said on his podcast that the mainstream media is in the tank for Trump. I mean, it's hilarious. They're in the tanker, right. Get a different tank. I guess. But it's a, understandable eye because nobody's really watching as far as massive numbers, any of these networks, any of the news networks.
No. So you're right, they're getting their information from TikTok, which I find is hilarious, that anybody wants to go after, whether it's Elon Musk at X or going after Zuckerberg and Facebook and Instagram. But they want to just totally ignore I mean I thought TikTok was all going to be brought down, but they're ignoring TikTok who's run by a shadow company. That is the strings are being pulled by the Chinese government. Yeah. They don't even have to be.
I mean, we we kind of say that because it sounds good, but realistically speaking, they don't have to be any more than people with Russian sounding names have to be working for the Russian government when they post stuff that makes the Democrats look stupid. I mean, honestly, it's it's a it's more of a cultural thing than anything else. And so saying, oh, it's the Chinese Communist Party know about this.
Just people that grew up in China, but they're the ones who, regardless, they're the ones making the choice of what content gets seen. And if you if if you had to say what platform or you can include as part of a platform the mainstream media networks on that, what platform do you think gets you the 18 to 30 voters? Which one gets you the 30 to 60 and what gets you 60 and above? Now the ones that are the youngest TikTok is probably the most influential over.
Absolutely. You know it's not X. It's not Instagram. Those still exist. But that seems like that is all trended. Acts is at this stage absolutely for Joe I mean it's it's a you know, the super young kids aren't using it. No. And neither are the boomers. X was never for the boomers, but certainly did. That didn't change.
So I think it's for Gen X X is for Gen X. This is why Musk loves the letter X because he's a Gen Xer, which is interesting to see because this is not the same type of presidential campaign that you had 20 or 30 years ago, before the internet was prevalent. The money that has to be spent, the attention is in such different places, and it is now split very much so by age, which it's an intriguing thing because it's like, well, where do you spend your money?
Which, which yeah, I think I've seen maybe two Trump ads in the last year. Yeah, mainly because those ads were funny and they showed up as like going viral. And, you know, you're on YouTube and that's like, I just don't see any advertising by Trump framing. I see Ted Cruz ads all the fricking time. I hear he's in trouble. Is that true? That's what the ads. It's, you know, hey, we're in trouble. We need your money. I mean, your help. But we're in trouble here. I'm unrelenting. Do let me tell you.
Yeah. It was all about just asking for money that we're in tons of. Yeah, tons of trouble. And then realistically, Texas is getting more and more blue zone. Two ways about that. Yeah. All the California here. Yeah. It's a combination. Californian people illegals and they're all running.
¶ Actors Dabbling in Politics
They're all voting. They're all looking for a better life than they have to California I mean, you know, say what you will about Putin, but, I think there's something to be said for making sure that illegals don't vote. Well, this makes sense because they are not citizens and should not be voting. I mean, this again as a concept. Can you imagine how easy it would be to take over a country? I mean, the United States is a little bit larger, but let's assume we had a free country, right?
Average country. Yeah, right. I know like the UK, I know they're not under the same type of government, but say they were they kind of. Yeah. Yeah. All you have to do is show up with like 5 million people and be like, we're voting. Yep. We're voting against everything that everybody that lives here is voting for. Oh, well. And that has happened in the UK and they're starting to implement sharia laws. True. And I mean at least London area.
I mean, it's probably, you know, Northern England's probably still very different. But yeah, the more the further south you go. You, you have an extremely well, it's still a small minority, but a very vocal minority. And absolutely a minority that will have everybody voting. Yeah. And and that is the, Muslims. Yeah. And in London right now, again, according to Mr. O'Reilly, who was just in London, 45% of Londoners are now foreign born. So we're like, that is insane. When you think about it.
It's not that they're of different nationalities and their families have been there for years. They are foreign born. They were born somewhere and moved into London. You wouldn't be all worried if that was Boston in the late 1800s. I would, you know. But it does change the culture. And this is something where they culture. Yeah. You know, there was a time when Boston wasn't Irish. They didn't talk funny. There. No crawdad to the yard. You gotta get to the yard, you know.
Yeah. The Red Sox, you go to the yard. Yeah. Get some, get some water. Chowder. Chowder? Yeah. Chowder. Some good chowder. I like you good clam chowder. Oh, I like, gotta be the New England, though. I don't like the. What's the red one? The, That. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's the different, there's different clam chowder. Yeah, yeah, I, I don't mind the taste, but I just really don't like eating organisms that eat shit. Everything does. No, no it doesn't. Cows don't eat shit.
They're like, I'm going to. Did not do that. Nope. No, no, you got to test, the sir gene, food. What's in your fridge right now? I see lots of, like, see what is with that? I have yogurt, I like yogurt. I have to say, though, what is with that blue backsplash? Man, that's a little weird with your black, blue backsplash in the kitchen. And that's weird. And I have a blue backsplash, isn't it? I thought it was. Yeah. We lose kitchen. Are you're looking at I don't know I think.
No. You see here it got me. Turn the camera. Oh okay. Wait. No there's Jean. Sorry. That was an that meds. Oh, there we go. We try to look at everybody just to see what's going on during the show. Yeah, just to make sure everything's good. But again, Dale from down under the hundred in 348, and he did have a note that's got to be like 200 Australian. Well, he. Yeah. So we appreciate that he is standing Odyssey for unrelenting.
He says comrades have either of you gents seen the 2008 movie Eagle Eye with Sheila Brew? RE4 chan could be the future. Probably how it is currently. To be fair, I have not. I don't remember that. I have to look this up now. Eagle eye I don't remember much of it. I don't remember much with Shia LaBeouf except for his, you know, interactions with the local law enforcement when he, oh yeah. When he went crazy. Yeah, he when he do, he went crazy. Oh, a 2008 movie. So it's an old movie.
I never saw it where they came out, mostly because I not really a fan of his, Jerry and Rachel strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they had never met, threatening their lives and family. She pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations using the technology of everyday life. You track tracking, control their every move. Well, this really works well for me. Having cameras in everybody's kitchens. Yeah, yeah, it's to me it's.
I guess we need to watch this. If y'all. Monahan wasn't bad looking back on the day. Oh, Michael Chiklis to, Billy Bob Thornton, that was Oreo Dawson as well. I just saw her. She was back in they one, the new, Kevin Smith movie, the 430 movie, which was cute. Little 30 movie. I haven't seen them. Yeah, it's called the 430 movie.
And it's basically probably the most autobiographical thing Kevin Smith has ever written, which is a movie producer about like a movie nerd as a kid, going to the movies and asking the girl that he likes to go to the movie with, and then having all sorts of adventures and, you know, like trying to, you know, sneak their friend into the movie thing. They brought bacon and cooked bacon to the movie theater, which was great. AD. But the movie theater manager
¶ Kamala Harris's Interview and Political Commentary
is, is Kevin, what's his name? The, the the Chinese dude from, from, doctor camp. What's his, he was in, that that other movie about that, you know, community he was in that with, Ken Jeong. Right? Ken Jeong, that's his name. Oh, yeah. The the, comedian. Character actor. Yeah. To Larry. Oh, he's a doctor, right? Yes. Which is still here, but he was a doctor or a dentist or something. And then he's like, you know, I like to try this, comedy thing. No, he. Yeah. He was. Tell me a doctor is.
That's what his parents wanted him to be. And I think his wife is currently a doctor. I think that if I remember right, she is, she didn't go into comedy. I like him. The dude is hilarious. The the I will I don't know, that is necessarily that hilarious from my standpoint, but he is willing to do anything. It's. Yes. And that goes a long way. I, I did really like him in, community. Yeah. Because, you know, just playing crazy. He he's playing a Spanish teacher. He's has a Spanish teacher.
Yeah. Which I don't know if it's all that unusual because I'm sure in China that it's Spanish too, but. But he was like, playing a complete asshole personality type Spanish teacher at a community college. And which community is a show about community college and four or 5 or 6 friends that that form a study group. Hilarious show if you're not watch comedy like, community rather when it was on live, you owe it to yourself to watch it because it has some of the best comedic writing.
It is very sarcastic and understated, and you can see why I like it. Well, yeah, Danny Booty man, I loved I bet he was another one of my least favorite character. Dude, he was hilarious. Not that funny. Just racist, that's all. You know, he can't be. He was Indian. No. You are that him? And, that was. No. If I was racist, I'd be like, I really didn't like, what's the guy's name? He's changed the Palestinian character. I don't, you know, I was going for the black character.
Yeah, the one that he went to be his. And he was a singer in real life. I can't remember his name. Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, what it was is a singer name. He had a really stupid. Yeah singer name. Yeah, it was something very like the notorious, something MD or something. I don't know, that would be hard. His house M.D.. Yeah, exactly. Something like that. Something stupid. But it had hot chicks in it. Which is more important? Yeah, bro. Where there was a little quirky like. And he was the cute.
Yes, I would so do both of them. So both were both not. I mean, I've dated chicks like both of them in real life, and, But have they did you for a reason? Let's see. You can what it looks like, Prime Video does have eagle eyes. I guess if you have Amazon. Oh, really? Okay, well, well, we'll have to make a point of watching it. See how this goes. Apple. I rent it for 399, but video. Yeah it looks like you got it's free. Yeah. Good. I have to watch it.
Yeah I it's so we'll have to see what that's like. And again shy is not necessarily an actor that would make me want to watch movie. But we'll take your recommendation on this thing. No. But you obviously watched because of the actress that played Danny. I'm sure that you also watched, Mad Men. Mad men? Yeah. First, that's another one, I should add. I do they do rewatch. Yeah. I even watched her series, where she plays a, a wrestler. Oh, I haven't seen that. Wasn't that like it.
Was it a wrestler or was it a. Yeah, roller derby thing, wasn't there? No. Sorry. Is the wrestler a which is so out of character? I mean, it's just like, what? But she's basically like a a b actress in Hollywood not getting many auditions. And she saw this audition for a wrestler. But, you know, I mean, she looks like Annie, and, but she decides to go and do it because it's money and, you know, reasons.
And then she really gets into it, and it turns out the whole wrestling thing is failing by the guy who's running in. So she has to also manage it and yada, yada, yada. I, it's it's the least attractive she's been, anything even though she's wearing kind of skimpy clothes because she's getting older. She's getting no, she's getting into like too good a shape that makes sense. Like she's these there's a difference between hot and buff. There's. Yes. And they can overlap for sure.
But her, community is the type of Annie. They're like the dude. That's that's her character name. That's gnarly. Right? The all the black dude is Donald Glover and his stage. Glover. Yeah. Was childish Gambino. That's the one. Yeah. That's like what? The night I saw that and I'm like, dude, what does that mean? Stupid is what that means. Yeah. It's like Garth Brooks going to be Chris Gaines. I'm like, what are you doing? It's just, Chevy Chase. I never thought he was particularly all that funny.

I've watched, one of his stand ups. Not that funny. His music. I watched one video. His. That was. It's funny, I do like Joel McHale. For some reason, he always seems to be. McHale is always good. Here's the thing. He's a Gen Xer. Yeah, true. Plays a Gen Xer. It's all he plays. Both he and Brett. The, Gillian Jacobs, they're both ends up there too. If you watch the Barrett. No. Are you gonna watch the bear, dude?
Okay. Put the I mean, you can watch the whole series in like, an evening because they're running six hours. For the whole season, and they're through, with it that they just do the third season or it all blends together. It's so short. Yeah, well, who's on that? That is, the guy that wasn't. Did you watch, the American version of shameless? No, you didn't watch. It's about Irish people. I have no interest in that. Oh, man. Shameless was a fantastic thing. Okay, I'll give you this.
Shameless in America lasted how many seasons brought. Right? It probably too long. It probably lasted like 11 seasons. The first 5 or 6 are genius. They're great, but you could watch them and then not watch the ending. It would be fine. But one of the kids from shameless is the William Macy in the In the Bear. What? William Macy? Yeah, he is in. He's the shameless. Yeah, he's a good actor, I like them. I've always thought he was good, but. Well, he stole the show in Sports night.
Did you watch Sports Night? No. William Morris. Why would I watch that? It's not really about sports. That's the beauty. It's about. Okay? It's about the news network. And this is me to watch more of these things that you keep talking about. Irish. They need to start naming them something that's interesting enough for me to decide to click on things like shameless or Sports Night. Just don't attract me. Shameless was oh, because, see, they stole it.
It was another one of these shows that started on the BBC. There's a British right? Shameless. Yeah. Although Emmy Rossum. I mean, you have to think she's hot, right? I don't know who that is. You don't know who Emmy Rossum is? Well, no. This just to look it. I just spell it Emmy Rossum. She played soccer, actually, so. Yeah, like her the oldest daughter. I mean, for an inbred girl, I guess she's, bad looking. Oh. Hey, wait. There's, definitely looks a little inbred.
Definitely gotta set the marker there. But he's looks decent. But shameless is, if you like, edgy, dark comedy, you would enjoy shameless. The, the bear is a little different kind of comedy, but still a dark comedy. Both were very well done up until the end of shameless and the Bear. You know, it's, they kind of lost their way a little bit in the most recent season.
It was, I think a lot of these folks that get a show made have 1 or 2 seasons ready to go that are great and then get the call that's like, yeah, we're picking me up for a third season. And they're like, yeah, they're taking totally seeking her boobs. One I'm watching photos of her wearing no bra and she has like a cups. And then there's other photos of her with clothes and she's got cups. Are you still talking about Emmy? Yeah.
As you may have had them worked on at some point, she made a lot of money on shameless. So, I mean, there's maybe put the money to good use, maybe. I just think they're just maybe getting the troll widow. Do you know if Emmy Rossum had a boob job? We always go to cotton gin for these types of things. Should we go to ChatGPT? Do you think ChatGPT would never know. Well, let's see them. Has Emmy Rossum had a boob job? Could probably tell me. I cannot answer that question.
She has not publicly confirmed or spoken about having undergone any breast augmentation procedure. Like many figures, speculation about her appearance can circulate, but without any statement of verified information from her direct. I'm also seeing her in the sports bra and she looks like a makeup. But all these other photos of her, she's like a ceca, cotton gin says on natural. As far as I can tell, Gene is just wrong. Sorry. No, Gene is just right. You clearly don't actually look at photos.
Apparently they're they're all over touch there. So this is what happens when you got the, the urge to make her boobs smaller when you got the horny guy that is doing the of photographs of, like, yeah, I'd be really be cooler if her boobs are like a lot bigger. And then they're like, okay, tell me, tell me that photo does not look like a makeup. Tell me that thought of this is seems like a completely different show. Possibly a B but I would say no larger than that. That particular outfit.
And I'm always, you know, intrigued when actresses want to wear something like that, that shows off so much. So there's got to be there's got to be duct tape involved in keeping that particular dress where it's supposed to be. Maybe. I mean, I don't know, it's, photos are fake and gay. According to. Yes. Well, we know what his advice is worth. Then. After that last donation contingent, he. Oh, damn.
¶ Obama's Remarks and Racial Politics
All right, now, look at that photo that this is a sports bra. Well, I'm looking at the second half because you have her bending over in the. Ignore that in the shorts. It's hard for her that she's. You ever see a sports bra that's doing its job? It's really. It's contracting the way it should. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the main thing it's doing is not pushing up and creating a completely fake, Hollywood bosom. You know, we just learning Hollywood fake, but, Yeah, clearly.
Now, our buddy Dale from Down Under us says after all the hype I have to listen to just too good ol boys. Oh. I was skeptical. Feel free to switch over donating to that, if you'd like. That was skeptical, given the name. Kind of sounds like a Disney Plus spin off of Brokeback Mountain of Jesus Christ. Oh dude, I hope he's listening as well to this show. Oh, he does, he does. And he was. I always am surprised by the fact that he listens, but he does listen. He he track me down.
Dude named bad named bad and got my telegram because he's like, dude, I gotta show you something. We were talking about, some, six hour pieces and we were, trying to figure out if you had a matching gun for every one of your Adidas track suits, or just a few of them know, just just to, just for the white and the black. Is that all? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't have any red guns or any other colored guns because that would just be tacky. It is tacky. I mean, come on, he said.
I was pleased to find Sir Gene's co-host, a Jack Ryan esque spook dude named bad named bad, who carries the show like all of his co-hosts. Wow. Oh. Oh, I'm so glad I didn't read this. That. Wow. Okay, so we know what you're saying, Dale. Is that dude named bad name bad? And I just need to jettison Gene, start doing this show together, and then everything would be good. I think he just enjoys getting your, new dander up there. Do you think that creates your show? I don't know I doubt it though.
Well doubt all that of mine. I might be funny too. You do my funny humor. Do I make clown laugh? You look like a clown. You know, I let last picture of me is pretty nice. Oh, I'm not saying they're not nice. I'm just saying that's called, a push up bra that is artificial. I think you would like shameless. I think you would give it. Yeah, and maybe I've been rewatching and just randomly started because an episode popped up on YouTube, and I was like, I haven't seen this in a while.
I started rewatching, Oh, God. Now I'm like, you know, B12, B12, they can't get these B12. I got it right here. So here, emergency B12, emergency B12. Yeah. Oh, there we go. Now I can remember. Now I take the B12 Farscape. No, I, I never watch Farscape. It's the cartoon. It's not a surprise at all. No, it's not a cartoon, is it? What is Farscape like? Farscape is a, science fiction show. Both spaceships and things. So you love that. There was something that came on. In March.
That was the, Linus Linus tech tips on YouTube. Yeah, I was watching one of the videos, and he had a virtual reality thing where he's like, doing a first person shooter and running, and my wife's like, was, is that the kind of stuff Jean does? And I'm like, no, no, it's just not a spaceship. No, no, it's not a spaceship. He's not doing it. Not now. Awesome at least. Yeah, it's got to be space. So it's a it's an Australian show, which is why you never see a I want.
Yeah. I've seen every episode of the Australian Lego Masters. I'm sure you have. And it was on the Sci-Fi channel though, so you could see on sci fi it was actually made by Fox Australia, I think. But it's about an American astronaut that is doing an experiment that ends up creating a wormhole that ends up sending him across time and space. So think of Buck Rogers mixed with, Voyager, Star Trek Voyager, maybe be. Sure. Yeah. Do you like tricky? Tricky was awesome, man.
Yeah. The voice for tricky, right? No, I don't think so. Malcolm, like. Oh, well, that would make sense. Voice actor extraordinaire. Like a guy with a billion voices, including, Elmer Fudd. Yeah, but could you do Elmo? I think he did do Elmo. See, there you have it. He did like, all the voices back in the day. Guy got paid a lot of money. Now they probably just have a, Yeah, probably got, like, 30 grand a year, which back then was okay.
Like, it sounds like voice actors were ever particularly highly paid. I think the Simpsons people weren't even making a million back for many, many seasons. And see the lead actress here, Claudia Black may have gotten your attention, too. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for the show. I just I was liking this. Yeah, yeah. Claudia Black in that show. She's super hot. She's she's 26. And the thing about Claudia Black is she's reasonably attractive. She's not a ten by any stretch, but she's up there.
¶ Immigration and Its Impact on Communities
But more importantly is the attitude she has the most like, sarcastic. Everything's an insult kind of attitude. In every show I've seen her in. So clearly not a stretch from her normal personality. And, I dig that. I mean, it's just it's all the sexual tension with the main character because they're constantly, you know, trying to one up each other and do things to rip the other person. Farscape. Yeah, but who's on the sci fi network? That's probably why I missed it. Oh, I bet I can download it.
Yeah, well, you can also watch it for free. The entire damn show on YouTube, though. Well, the whole show. Why is the whole goal multi like 3 or 4 seasons? Yeah. Why would they. I guess they're making money on it, right? It must be officially uploaded. No. Well, maybe, but it's, it seems to be on a different channel. So my episode on this channel, on the other episodes on the. But they all come up one right after the other. So it's almost like.
Yeah. Playlist. Yeah. So but it is one of the most bizarre sci fi TV shows that most people have never watched. But it is it is fun and it's got very interesting characters and it's got puppets, which is the best part that I'd love to love some good puppetry because it was made by Hanson Productions. It looks like, although it's up here, it says Watch Now Stream Amazon Video although down to the three part, although I guess it's not free. That's why.
So you have to be an Amazon Prime that's probably there for free. You can watch it on the Roku Channel, which would give you, I could probably watch it on Amazon and other places too, but I just happened to randomly have a post up on you. I was just looking so people would know if they want to watch Farscape. Yeah yeah yeah, but it's a and if you don't know who Claudia Black is, she was, the last couple seasons of, SGI, Stargate. I've never watched Stargate. Of course you haven't.
Because you don't watch spaceships and science fiction, apparently. Never, never watch any space. All of I have seen all of the Star Trek shows, and all of the Star Wars movies up until they sucked. So this is a question been asked me. I'm going to ask you. What do you think is the worst of the Star Trek shows? What's your least favorite? Least favorite star Trek show? It's easy to say the original, but that is only because, like Doctor Who and this is why I hate them a little bit differently.
Love a lot of the early Doctor Who, but as we all know, there was no budget for special effects. It was very hokey. So it's easy to be like, well, watch the ones that were really well produced. People want to give them higher ratings. I think they all were decent. There was none of them. That was horrible. I think probably the least fleshed out would have been enterprise was Scott Bakula. I thought.
So was that your lease term was, I think my father said, I think my favorites would be the Deep Space. And I. I hate to agree with Ben Rhodes. I think that was his favorite. Yeah, yeah. It was. Geez, that's I think that was my least favorite. I hated Deep Smith. Oh come on, Quark and Odo. And, it was they didn't go places. I want a show about spaceships, not space station. Moving around. Gotta be brothers. You can't be sitting in one spot like that's. How's that?
Interesting, dude. So, you know, I started watching Voyager again, but we somehow stopped before we even got to the point where, seven of nine was added to make the show more appealing. Yeah. So maybe I need to go back and watch that one as well. I would not say any of them were horrible. I mean, I don't think any of them. I'd say I wouldn't watch again, probably.
You know, Deep Space Nine was good, but I, I will say I think New Year, Deep Space Nine takes place even I think the next generation is probably the best. You have to like the card and, you know, like but again, that was where I started watching. So kind of like, doctor, it wasn't bad, but I yeah, I, yeah, I mean, it was better than Deep Space Nine, that's for sure. Oh, come on, there were interesting things going on. In all of them. And they just took a little bit of a different.
I don't think any of them were horrible. Where I think some of the Star Wars series are just horribly bad. I'll agree with that. I definitely will say the worst. Star Trek is quite a bit better than the even any of the, the Star Wars ones, except for Empire Strikes Back. Oh, Empire was good. Yeah, Empire was the best. Everything else is worse, as far as I'm concerned. The original Star Trek was. It was all right, but it wasn't anything to write home about.
It was just a base copy of every movie that's ever been made about a teenager. And, the third one with the Ewoks was just corny, you know, it was then we were the way downhill for there. You know what? At the time, even better. It played better at the time. Now. Oh, okay. I get it at the time. If you're pushing this for a kids audience, I understand.
¶ Listener Feedback: Dale from Down Under
Buck Rogers Deep Space Nine. No that was a different show that. But Buck Rogers okay. The only reason to watch Buck Rogers was Aaron Gray. Oh yeah Aaron Gray is fucking hot. Yeah I mean no two ways about it. Especially the outfits on. Oh my God. It's just basically skin tight. Everything. I mean, they you know how the outfits in Star Trek were skin tight? This was a next level, skin tight in this writer. Yeah. This is like, okay, make them skin tight and two sizes too small.
Right? You got to be stretchy fabric. Got to go with the stretchy fabric. Oh my god. Yeah. It's Yeah. She was a lot of boys. Bad posters of her in their rooms. I wish I had one that above the bed. Yeah. The name that she was, Silver Spoons and you're like, oh, well, yeah, I don't like the show, but still. Oh, still kind of hot. Yeah, yeah. So it was kind of corny, but she was kind of hot, think.
Which I mean, the which is which of these star what we know now, it's deep Space nine was your least favorite. Which was it? My favorite, I think, is enterprise. Really the one I'm like, it's the most boring out of all. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I need to watch it again. I've never watched the second show juggling black or whatever her name is. Black lilac. Blaylock. Yeah. I mean, she really did show them. Yeah. Extra special.
She. I think and I said this in the, when this show is better than last episode, this, I think she, she's the most sensual of all females that have ever been on Star Trek. The way they've been, there have been ones that are sexy. But she wasn't just sexy. She had the full package. She was the kind of chick that. Yeah, she's the Black widow type. She is the kind of chick that will make a guy just blister out her finger and think that she's the one that's deciding to do everything.
But I was just taking a sip of liquid death and just the way you said. Extra special, almost pathetic, almost spit. Take all over it. Nice, nice. Yeah. She made that show extra special. She did? It's a real. And here's the other thing is, she was an actual Star Trek nerd, so she was the only person on that show that had seen every episode of every Star Trek prior to the show. So, sand. No, it isn't a hot chick like Star Trek. Fuck you. Fuck. You know, I like that part.
I think that part is excellent. I think that everybody that gets a role in a Star Trek show or movie should watch first to watch the canon of what they are building upon. Like, not just, you know, a lot of actors have this bullshit thing. They say it was like, well, I want to interpret the character myself so I don't want to see what others have done to be influenced by it at all. I want to make the role of God look, Picard, my own. Yeah, yeah, it's, Exactly.
It's that kind of bullshit where, you know, I would say I have not watched Picard because I heard very bad things about it. You agree? Was that worth watching? I didn't see Picard. Didn't watch that one at all. See, there's two of them I didn't watch. I didn't watch Picard, and I didn't see the other one that came out at about the same time with the black captain. Check. Because it clearly seemed like this was not actual Star Trek.
This was more like, hey, we need to, we need to have strong, independent females running things. And what show was there? I don't remember the black captain. Check out. What was it called? Discovery. I think it's Star Trek Discovery. I believe that's what it was called. 2017. I guess that would make sense through 2024. Oh. Paramount plus only I, I was to be like I didn't even know this existed. So for. Yeah. Yeah. So neither you nor I watched that show, I did not even know that was a thing.
Looking at the the list of the actors here, I don't think I know anybody that was in this. The rating on, IMDb is a seven, which for a Star Trek is fairly low. Better than a lot of things, but, I think the, most of the other ones are probably a bit higher than that. I didn't even know this existed. I mean, that's, interesting. Ten years before Kirk Spock in the enterprise, the USS discovery discovered new worlds and life forms. The were did not see it had no interest in that.
Well, he's the number one review on IMDb. Says seasons three through five are a joke. Jesus. Like, yeah. That could be said of a lot of shows, though. True. Like, we were just saying that most of them, they got two good years that you have planned out, it says, through 2024, which I don't know if that means they're still going, the or if not like the writing five. I think they ramped up. I think they, they wrap that up. It'll be interesting to see exactly how that one went.
But so it's yeah, I know where the old guys you know where the two guys in the box at the Muppets.
¶ Movie Recommendations and Hollywood Gossip
Yeah. And like, I don't like anything new. Stop it. Stop making new Star Trek. No. I want them to make better Star Trek. I don't care if it's new or not. I just don't want any crap. I don't like all those die infants bullshit. And, like black Vulcans. Come on. Please. Right. Well, you're changing the whole. This is why I had a problem with the, with Doctor Who. It's always been the dude. Why are you changing that after 50 years?
If we had three, if we had exactly 50 years of Star Trek lore and all the Vulcans were of one skin color, why all of a sudden you're like, no, no, we need to change that. Oh, we gotta we gotta bring that in with, Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, that that agrees. That's what ruined doctor. Who is he? I mean, I'm the asshole because I didn't even watch one episode of the chick. Doctor of the what chick? The there. There's no such thing, dude.
Exactly. Imagining. Although I will say the cardiologist on my dad's floor to get out of the hospital yesterday. Look right out of central casting. The hotter than Olivia Wilde. And how's. I was just like my doctors never looked like this. I was like, this camp was robbed. Okay, that's not fair. Dad, why do you get the hot doctor? I want the hot doctor. Not the smart doctor. I want the hot doctor. Right? I mean, at least, you know, you had the.
If you had to choose them guys, we may make the wrong choice. It is quite possible we would be like. I don't know what. We'll deal with that one. Of course, but, let's see here. But, they offered Down Under says also after he said that, you know, your co-host cover all the shows for you. They care. Your government is planning on having nukes in the Northern Territory. B-52s with breach is the Treaty of Rarotonga. The loophole is transit, meaning most likely they'll fly in loaded.
First time since the Cold War. China is going to point nukes at us. And if you really push it, Russian nukes and North Korea stay unrelenting. Yeah, no, that's certainly true. Gets very serious at the end of the note, Stan relenting though the whole like we go we we take we make fun of Gene about his co-hosts and you see this movie and then it's like we're all going to get nuked. Well, probably I mean, I think that's probably true. So enjoy the movies before we all get nuked.
Yeah, you really should, because there's a, higher chance today than there was four years ago, for sure. I'm getting nuke. I think says Roddenberry was a commie. I think he was a socialist. I don't really know. He was. Did he say what? Me commie socialist, whatever that was, it was the come basic in. In a world where you could have anything made with, like, Star Trek. Did you know with their, what do they call when you get the food and all this stuff? It just comes right out of the replicator.
Yeah, it's a post cash society. It's a post money society. Because if everybody had access to replicators and you're like, oh, I want a gun, press a button. There's a gun. Oh, I want a chicken sandwich. Boop. There's a chicken sandwich. Yeah, yeah, just like that, big glass dildo poop. There you go. Right there. It's ready. So why would you need money? It's actually like glass. Still, this adds a little bit of danger to the whole, the whole situation.
I think the other materials are probably preferable. And that's if you need some quality glass products to go to Texas hot glass.com. It's the only place to get your glass, not watch. That's like a real website. It is. It's my buddy, dame black loca. She has if you if you need anything, she's down there. And what? She is a glassblower. She has sent me some really cool. Oh, I bet she is. Wine glasses from my mom. She makes, like, oil bottles, so.
Okay, so now apparently we're sponsored by a glass dildo company. Oh, you told me that beforehand. She makes, mainly things for the people that like to smoke that, that wacky stuff through a glass dildo. Yeah, really? If that's true. Hey, if that's what you want to smoke it through, I'm sure she can make it happen. And then Adele from Down Under came in with 26, 25 during the show, which was totally messed up cuz I didn't have the email on.
He says, bearing in mind the bulk of club MAGA are boomers or Boomer adjacent gen-xers, how do you think something like an American Jobs for Americans act to sneak in a digital I.D.? All the Patriot branding you can handle? It's an interesting concept, because I think there's a lot of people who would go for that, at least on the surface. But we don't require ID to vote.
So if you think they're going to somehow be able to get something passed, the Democrats would have to pass something that says, you need an I.D. in order to get a job, which that will never happen. But I like where you're going that they will eventually try to. And they're doing this, which is one of the reasons why. I mean, granted, I don't want to get out of playing that anytime soon, but you and I have talked about the fact that you now need the new ID card to get on an airplane.
You can't use Texas and set the new I.D. card for like, a decade. Yeah, we don't have that there a difference, but it's again, you need you're forcing somebody to go in and get a different ID for what reason? Oh, so you can play the different ID. What are you talking about with their different IDs here. What does that mean? My, Illinois driver's license is not a part of that.
¶ TV Show Deep Dives: Shameless and The Bear
You have to go in and pay more money and just go. I want the new one. And then they will talk in your state about why you didn't do this a decade earlier. It's bullshit. Why do you need to do it in the first place? We're letting people fly all around the country without any ID whatsoever. They're coming in by the millions without I.D.. And you think that's the preferred model, yo. Yeah. Well, why should I have an I.D.? So you are for your full genes. Wants everybody to have an I.D.
for everything I do. I. And I've said this before, I just think that people act differently when they think they're anonymous. They act like you assholes. Frankly. Yeah. I don't. Yeah. And if if you didn't like, if you had to be, yourself on the internet. Holy shit. Would that be a nice place? How many social media accounts do you have that have nothing to do with Gene surging or anything that can be tracked back to you? They're all either surgery for my gamertag, which is Atlas Rant.
Okay, I don't and I use the same photo for all of them. If there's none that are like it's a super secret. No no, no, that would be a waste of time. Good talk today. Thank you for your service, bro, says a comic strip blogger. Well, that was only 1818, but at least he didn't try to sell us on a war or anything. Yes. Thank you. By the way, if you get a, like, a $2 donation that says Go Ukraine, please don't fucking read that shit, okay? We have to be. At least you keep you keep 22.
Just read first and then listen to what you just read while you're saying that. What's funny you say that do not know the concept of the show. This I do know the concept of the show. And the show is, you know, I was talking, not reading advertising. Didn't you see what Brock said? That was from, ksbw too. He pulled it up. Where was it? What did I say? About the, what to say about the. Where was it? I don't really use graphic. Well, that's because it's not really good for.
It's not really useful. Yeah. For anything, I mean, it's for if you need something very quick as far as the image generating, it is nowhere near what any of the other ones are. Yeah. So it would be, you know, not really good for that. And for the questions that you asked, you know, I don't have a problem with completely different answers being given every time you ask.
As long as there's the same factual information, I don't care that it's going to rephrase things or whatever it's doing, because that's more like a human assistant, right? You're asking a question and they're going to answer it in different ways, even if they call, you know, the same data up. But yeah, so so far, Brock, I have not found that to be very, very impressive. Yeah, maybe it was. I mean, I like that it's not censored, but, you know. What is. Where did I read it?
I thought it was on, real. I thought it was on X where she has been posted. What it said about, unrelenting. So I was surprised even, like, what? What do you mean? They didn't even know that they would know. What? Unrelenting was real. If the I will, I guess I'll give it one thing. If grok understands that unrelenting is a podcast, and who does it, then it's way ahead of a bunch of the other. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was trained later. It's like it was all added in.
CSB added the whole thing and but there was something in there like, well the chemistry between Darren and Gene, that's the, you know that was like the secret sauce. And I'm like well that they did it say that Darren carries the whole show probably. I mean that was or that was just the Australian version of grok. Which is good or something like that. I don't know what's Yeah. Yeah. I don't see it. I don't like the, the sworn. I read that somewhere. Maybe.
Is this the Mandela Effect, CSP or did you post it somewhere? Cuz I thought there was something about, the last thing he posted looks to be no use. Chapters. I don't see anything. Look, I'm like we do for unrelenting. I mean, they're all AI, and so they could be drastically wrong at times, but the newer AI models are getting better at doing, oh, they're better at higher. They better than people now, because it's a simple thing that you're asking for. Find new topics and just create a, Json file.
It's not that hard of a thing to do where people listening then tried to do this by hand. That would be harder. He said it's in demotic. So that may be why. Let me look. Thank you. CSB yeah, here it is. Here. And this went into, he sent this. So this will be read today. The podcasting 2.0 show, I believe. But why? Why? Unrelenting real talk, honest debates with a touch of humor. Hot topics, from tech trends to political rants. Nothing's off limits. That's true and engaging banter.
Gene and Darren's chemistry make every episode a must listen I mean okay grok knows the show. Dragnet was the show. That's right. Although I don't know how much debating we actually do this. Is it really say debate that said hot topics. There was no such says honest debates with a touch of humor, I guess. Yeah.
¶ Star Trek Debates: Best and Worst Series
What it means. I'm really just me not watching sports. And you're not watching science fiction? Yes. It's not really a bait. Yeah. The although I guess today we technically had the what's the worst Star Trek show? Yes. Let me think about this. Jean and I would have to make change. Right. I sent you, by the way. I sent you a infographic. Just so you know, the timeline of. Oh, my God, somebody put some work into this. Yes they did. Where all the shows fit in?
Yeah, all the shows, all the movies, all the stuff starts all the same price. Who was the best captain in, Star Trek? Boy, things like that. Janeway. I mean, definitely not Janeway. I, I have to say, I think all the captains are greatly deficient. Yeah, I hate to say it, but I think probably Kirk. Yeah, but he is the most flamboyant. I mean, I guess is the best word. Yeah. But he also seemed to be in charge of what he was doing.
Yeah, because they wanted to go the the kinder, nicer, gentler characters. I think as they moved on where the womanizing of a Kirk was that looked at like, oh, wait a minute, maybe we shouldn't have this. You didn't see, Jean-Luc Picard going around and making out with chicks everywhere. One episode, right? That's true. When they were on the, the beach planet bleep, Paradise station, Paradise planet. Yeah, that was about it. Yeah, but I always figured he was gay.
And, thanks to that, Ned came in with five bucks via PayPal. Nice. No, no real money. Yeah, well, like day off from Down Under 2625 103 28 or anything about this new model that LBC going to because they just did some little announcement thing. Oh yeah. The Albie hub now is what they want you to have, which is kind of like running your own node. But a little easier. Yeah, but so I wonder how long until they steal all my money they want steal your money. But there are limits now.
I think they lowered the amount they want in the wallet, and I don't have it in front of me, so, I think it was at a million. And I think they're lowering that now to 500,000. And I think there is a limit of 50,000 as far as maybe a resuming. It's just outgoing. I don't know if it's incoming, then you're just totally fucked. I mean, I'll need to get this in front of me. We can talk about it, if I can. Yeah.
I was curious if you knew anything about it, because you didn't tend to be more on top of that stuff than me. Well, we were trying to figure out because my buddy Oystein Badge, who does the, made in music show, he tried to send them to the Rock and roll pre-show, a 50, you know, some odd five, four, three, two, one. I think it was, which is a really nice boost.
And the little part came through the alb part didn't go through to the, to the node, and we wasn't sure if that was because it was coming from. And that'll be a count or whatever it was, because there are limits, which it's like, well, why? And you gotta you have to know what those limits are and you can't change them quickly. And I know all everybody likes to how we're changing their cost. And I'm sure they subtract it out. But there is a cost to actually sending money with, real, sets.
Yes. Well, there's always that. I'm just saying if you're going to change what you're doing. Okay. So you have to give me this is a better question for Adam at some point, but remind me again while why there there was a reason to use SATs at all in the first place? Because it was easy and free. It was neither one of those, it was literally the opposite of easy for everybody. But it was never free. And it's become less free as more companies start charging more for services related to SATs.
Because I. But you're absolutely right, though, because I think the original argument for it was, don't give your 3.5% to pay, pal. Screw them. Use you know, Bitcoin use distributed money whatever it, whatever the hell it's got. I guess there was a note from that nad which you said amazing episode of searching guesses cup sizes. Yeah. We we could do a whole show on that. If you want to be fair, we could. I'm for. I'd be not opposed to that.
We may need to put it up on YouTube, though, because, it'd be better with the visuals. You need the video. As I'm scrolling through images of various celebs, the LP limits the. But thank you that the the volume is now a sending cap of a million satoshis and receiving of 500,000 over a rolling window of seven days, which for most people, that's from. Yeah. The balance is currently limited to 500,000 satoshis. So I don't know why they're sending cap is a million.
That would seem to me if you can't have more than 500 satoshis. I mean, I guess maybe you can take money in and sending out because it's a rolling over seven days. Okay, I get that makes a little more sense. And the maximum receivable amount per invoice
¶ AI and Satoshis: The Bitcoin Conversation
is 250,000 sats. And the maximum for outgoing is 250,000 sats. For most people, that will probably be fine. I think the largest that's a very small dollar amount. Well, I think the largest boost I ever sent was to the podcasting 2.0 show, which was something a bit over 100,000. I don't think I've ever reached more, although I remember early on the podcasting 2.0 from, Peter got, a million Satoshi boost, which if you're on the get album, you will not be able to send anything larger than 250,000.
So that's 155 bucks, which is more than what most people are going to send. But yes, they are. You keep assuming that these are donations to podcasts. That's not really what. Correct. If you want to answer for they do offer and I'll say their system wasn't horribly expensive. I think it was 22,000 Satoshis a month, which is interesting because we know that's going to fluctuate. So I'm surprised they didn't. That's the same thing that the guys that I was using charged.
But I'm surprised they didn't set a dollar amount because if that crashes, then you're still doing the same work for almost nothing. But oh, don't raise the price. Don't worry. If you pay them that or you download their software, which is available on GitHub now. So you can run this on your own machine like your, roller like I'm running and there's other. You know, operating systems. You can run this then you don't have any of the limits.
So they're pushing you to pay or to download the software yourself so that they're not the ones processing the transaction, which makes a certain amount of sense. But you just need to let people know. And I don't know what's going to happen. If you had over 500,000 sat sitting in yours, my guess would be when they started implementing this, they just started denying anything else that was set.
So for anybody that doesn't know or they're like, I just got the SAT sitting there and they're still getting incoming. You're not getting messages that say unless they've changed that, there was no message. It's like people are trying to send you stuff, but you have too much money. You need to clear it out. But just you have to be much more aware or I would normally just ignore it. Now I have to check it weekly.
The only place it really makes that much of a difference is the stats that are coming in. Like you have your stats coming in for Larry over at Planet Rage, I'm taking of, I'll bring up a good point, which is I have no idea if I have anything coming in. See, you have to look and see. I haven't seen a message from Alby in a long time. You're like, well, you have to set that up if you want them to email you when anything comes in.
The problem would be if your satoshis hit 500,000 and then they just stop taking money for you and they're like, yeah, he doesn't need any more. He's got more than enough. His wallet is full. I mean, if that happens, I'm just done with it. And I don't mind that they're putting limits on it, but make it there. It should be like a, like a gas gauge. If I log in to Alby, it should show. Hey, you've got 250,000. That's in here. That's half full. You do not or you can't go past full.
Your wallet will explode and all your money will be lost or something like that. But I just need to keep anything that comes into Alby just needs to be drained out. Which is usually. I just send it over to, you know, Fletcher for his shows. I send it to, you know, we get gift cards with it. I don't think I've ever really transferred much into the node. Everything. Most of the things come into the node. Like, for this show, I think, 100% of what I'm getting for this show comes into my node.
It never hits Alby, so I just don't have to worry. That just keeps build it up. Well, yeah, I don't know, man. And I recommend people get a node if you're doing if you're a podcaster that is making more than 50 bucks and satoshis a month, which maybe isn't a lot of people, but if you are, then you should really get your own hardware and, run it yourself. I hovered over Albee's extension in my browser, but, yeah, the little, whatever the little cloning thing. Yeah. What?
It's a b, I think. I think it's a b z. And, It said 200, some thousand. So I must be quite a bit under the limit, so that's good. Yeah. You get up to 500,000. Yeah, but I don't remember. What the hell am I logging in, so. Oh, well, let me just clear your account for you, Gene. I'll just take this with you. If you have my log in, you probably could do better than me. Just take all those stats and send them right on over, to the, the node that I've got, and everybody's happy.
Yeah, I think that's what's happening anyway. It should. I mean, that would be great. Just make it look like the Satoshis are coming to Gene. I just need another Alby account. That's just gene spelled wrong. And people are spelled wrong. I didn't notice, I didn't notice at all, and nobody knows. Yeah, exactly. But thank you, Dale. And thank you that that if you'd like to help support the show, go to unrelenting dot show the information is there. There's no big push.
We just say, hey, honestly, dude, why did you just take me off the damn thing? Are you getting the value here off of what you don't want? It's a split. Take me off the split. You don't want any satoshis.
¶ Alby Limits and Lightning Network Woes
It's not real money. It's. It really isn't. It's just make believe money. There's no point in it. I don't I don't want to. I don't want to have. I can't do anymore. It's it's more hassle than the money is worth. Isn't it fun to be? If I was getting 500,000 at a time, satoshis, I'd be saying. Yeah, satoshis I'd probably say something different, but honestly, I've had this Alby that I got when you invited me. Like two years ago when we started doing the podcast.
Yeah, I guess this show has been going over a few years now. Yeah, yeah. And it's got 250,000 in there, which is like what? I just did the math. It was like $153. Yeah, but you could buy a half a bottle, that whiskey that you don't like that you like that you don't drink anymore. Yeah. Yeah. It's the time I'm going to spend looking for my log in is more time for $153 that I get paid on an hourly rate.
But don't you have a, don't you have a Satoshi guy to go with the sushi guy in the blue in the boat guy of the spaceship guy? I just not yeah, it's it's like, hey guy, I'm going to donate money to your podcast, but I'm only going to send you Italian lira. Only if it was enough that you figure out a way to make it into real money. Yeah. And it's going to be usually about equivalent to $0.90. I would highly recommend you take all those SATs and you get Alby account.
You go over to the Rock and roll pre-show and you make a huge, huge donation. Just send in 250,000 satoshis and you two can be a program director. Why would I do that? Because you love the show. I mean, I'll get rid of the IBS, but not that way. Only if we're going to do what the hell BS the SATs. SATs. I'll get rid of this. You got to put him into a gift card. No, because they're not worth enough to do that with. You can get it. Adidas gift cards.
I'll, I'll be doing a, an actual transfer and see if this thing fails, just like the last one did while you're trying to send it into, Bitcoin. Into my actual bitcoin wallet. Yeah, into an actual a bitcoin. That's what I've been doing for Larry, because Larry is still a bit of a Luddite. So now that get Alby has the limit, when I get anything over like 200 satoshis, I just put him into a a Bitcoin wallet.
To be fair, his, it's like I'm out at the Grand right now, so he gets more satoshis on planet than that. What you get out unrelenting. Now, it might be your likability. We are the polling from Australia. It's definitely not that. It's not the like. It's. We have a we have a polling operation in Australia that's showing your, your approval numbers right now are very low. Sir, dude named bad name bad. Are I outdoing you? And and so am I. So, you might want to work on that.
You may want to do some Australian outreach. You may. Well, the the good thing is I do get money coming into PayPal, so that's fine until later. Cancel the whole the whole day. Sad thing. It just, there's no need for it. There's literally no need for it. If your model is like pirating music and then charging money for it, I suppose that makes sense, because, you know, you're doing illegal activities anyway, so you might as well keep being in that whole thing.
Hey, the artist comes swinging these live events, which they have done, and done the live Satoshi paying. They brought in like blueberry, one of the last ones. I think the event brought in like $6,000 in Satoshis. Well, if he could only do something with that, that'd be great. With $6,000, if you could do it. What do you mean?
If he's going to only have a system that allows you to get $6,000 worth of satoshis, well, one you can cash out a free lobby account wouldn't allow you to do that, but literally no dollar a month one would. Or running your own node, which, hey, if I could run my own node, I think I can. Yeah, because that's what people want, if they want to exchange small sums of money, is to run a device in their house. If you're running super small sums, the all be free is fine.
I think that is kind of the point with this. While I'm still not thrilled because I had, you know, different podcasts on different things, but I could move them around it, I understand why they're doing the limiting. If you only want to do a buck or 2 or 5 at a time and you're never doing anything larger, the free one works. If you want to set the thousand bucks, well, then you need to pay them 15 bucks a month. It kind of works out.
Speaking of high speed, easy control how well it works, but sure. Hey, Oystein Barry sent me some satoshis from the Netherlands. I mean, that's across the world. Cheap. Yeah, that is, across the world. And it works. At least it's at least across six time zones. See? And it somehow works well, except when it doesn't. And that's the biggest thing when you're dealing with large amounts of money, when it's like, hey, do you get that at the other end?
And we're like, no. And then they're like, where did it go? Yeah, I don't know. I've definitely had that experience, I'll tell you that. It's yeah. And that is the bad part. That is the bad. There is, there's a, a friend of mine, said, hey, do you have any leads or ideas on how I could send a document to Russia? And I said, well, what do you what do you mean? Yes?
He says, well, I've got a document that needs to get signed and then sent over to Russia, but no, US companies accept deliveries or mailed to Russia.
¶ Final Thoughts and Sign-Off
So he needs the paper copy to get there. Not the paper copy. Not. That's why the first thing I said, I want you to scan the damn thing and then send it over that way. It's. No, it's a it's a it's a stamped, signed document. It has to be the original. And that's well, I don't know, man. And so I've, run across that. Yeah. You could just drop it in there. You don't have a guy at the embassy? Yeah. You don't have a guy or.
Yeah, I mean, I just do it to the embassy, but if you if you have something that you gotta send over there, then I guess. Yeah, you got gotta, you know, get a courier. Where can you send something? So you're saying right now in the United States, you cannot send something directly? Nothing. Can you send this medicine co can you send it from Canada. Well that was, that was the first next thought that's like okay well Canada you can't that's part of the UK Mexico.
You should be able to if, if you can find the A service that'll do it. Then you should be able to. But he found this website called Time Saving Machine. We're not promoted by the site, by the way. But what they do is they they will take physical documents and ship them from the U.S to any other country, including countries that are banned. So they just pop around, which make some they use couriers, they can deliver one or more A4 sheets within 24 hours to anywhere in the world.
That's a they will take secret cargo with temperature controls and delivery to close cities or nuclear power plants. This seems like a very illegal charge. The dark, deep dark. I mean, we're not sponsored by them. No, but I just found it fascinating. They will track the courier, in real time. They will prepare all the packaging lists, labeling and everything in the appropriate languages. But anyway, so the the cheap rate for a a brick of cocaine going into a document. Oh, document.
Document going to Russia is four days. That's the cheap rate, the, the the speed of transfer. And how much? Just $580. Oh, well, that's a bargain. Yeah. Salty craziness. Why does surging sound like someone that doesn't appreciate the savings value of Bitcoin, and doesn't understand that it was never created as a get rich scheme? Well, here's the funny part. Speaking for sir. Well he likes bitcoin. He just hates lightning. You just answered it correctly. That's absolutely right.
I'm all for bitcoin. Do you want to send me bitcoin. I'm happy to provide my bitcoin address guys I just I'm done with this whole like Mike Graham transaction bullshit. Yeah it's it's converting even and it's I understand not the biggest pain in the ass but to convert directly from the Alby wallet into Bitcoin you have to use a third party website which is still not great. And a lot of people don't understand why how it all works. It needs to be a little bit.
Yeah, there should be a you would think in Alby for any of these lightning wallets. Oh, my God, Alby just sent me a one time password. That is bugger. Crap. Fans, let's trust this website. Yes, that's my one time password. So quick jump in there, guys. You can steal all my money. The whole all $154 of it. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what I got in there. The password is again. Bugger. And then I really. That was perfect I it was, it was pretty good.
But I was gonna say it's a bugger with a zero instead of a no. Oh well that's definitely higher security. That is a high security bugger right. Super secret. Yeah. Let me show you. Oh my God. How do we have, like, 8000 windows open?
