144: Pink Spaceships

Yeah, he doesn't know shit and I actually reads Reddit every day. Yeah, help me. I can get it. He.

That was annoying, right? The people on the podcast don't know about the whole Mexican radio. Okay. Or do you think they're just going to be like, get an aneurysm? But, you know, they do. During the beginning of the night from, you know, one. Yeah. Like from day one, you got you learned you got to deal with everybody. We got the margaritas. Come on. Marino. Taco, did we just go? This this this is gonna flag YouTube all ready? I I dude, I was recommended fishing with Hitler on my YouTube feed.

I was like, yes, really? I mean, if you for that show alone, I will say this, Tim cast is, now partnering with, what is the other guys that YouTube, the, the Rumble, which won Rumble. Okay. Rumble. Yes. L Rumble low and, so now that he's got a good deal worked out with them where they're paying him his last episode, and, boy, did he trash YouTube talking about how they could have been the place for video podcasting. And they've completely threw it away and shot themselves in the foot.

And, you know, kind of starting when, when Rogan left. But they were not only did they not fight to keep him, from Spotify and, and keep him on YouTube, but they were trying to get rid of a lot of people that were Rogan like, and somebody that had more of a conservative bent. And so, yeah, he I mean, he's still on there, he's still on YouTube, but he is at this point, I think he he's kind of like, I don't give a shit. He's trashing the hell out of him.

He's literally just telling people, open up a browser window, go here and then turn off YouTube. Nice. Well, too, it's interesting you're listening to unrelenting. I'm Darren on the A-list, you know. Oh, that's right, I forgot. And the I just turned your EQ off to give you a sound. A little, little off.

I think we turned it on because you didn't have to really remember the one when you're most likely. Yeah, yeah. So was. Yeah, I should have a Q. So now you sound better without the issue on this end. So I saw in the article yesterday. That YouTube put out their latest demographic information and all that. And for the first time more people are watching on televisions than mobile phones, which I am still trying to wrap my head around.

So there's, there's a big movement for the people that are finally getting around to what I've always done with YouTube, which is mainly watch it on the couch through the Roku or whatever your Apple TV, whatever. Your mileage may vary. I mean, it sounds like that's the case, but I'll tell you what it actually is. The demographic that watches by using their phones has all left YouTube and their trackers. Now. Tick tock. They can only handle 15 second videos. Yeah, and they're not like teens.

These are people up until about 30 years old right now. But they're not on YouTube. They have no interest in YouTube. Everybody that that in the trial room says the pool boy is a douche, and YouTube on their TV sucks too many ads. See, Gene and I are dumb. We actually pay the nice folks over at YouTube. Like what, 1799 a month? It's gone up quite a bit. It started at four bucks. Yeah, but no ads. So now 18, it makes it a heck of a lot better because I couldn't watch it right the last.

No, it's the possible the last straw. And I'm with you on that. That is the last straw for me. And the choice was either going to be never watch YouTube again, or pay, because I was watching one of your buddy Brian Brushwood at one of his episodes, which was like an 18 minute episode, and there were like 2 or 3 ad breaks. Yeah, yeah. Like, no, not going to deal with that. I know crazy, it is not any fun. Well, happy Valentine's Day, Gina. You doing anything special today?

Know all the guys out there that forgot it was Valentine's Day are now running. I'm sure there'll be some kind of Valentine's Day event. The video games I planned about it. What? What kind of Valentine's Day event is there in Star Citizen?

Hello, citizen. Would you like to buy a special red spaceship for an extra? That's literally a dollar. You. You nailed it. You nailed it. That's exactly what happens. Hey, you get a 20% discount on the special pink paint for your speeches. Yeah, that a pink spaceship? Well, in the game, that's 90% men. Yeah, yeah. They do have pink spaceships. They have hello Kitty spaceships, in fact. Yeah. Okay. I think, again, this has gone from, just know a not not.

Yeah, I don't have one, but I mean, they made them they're like available and stuff. You thought about it though. You're because you're a complete this joke. Well, I am a completionist. Yeah. Okay. It would go with my my pretty pony ship, but, No, no. It clashes. Oh, you've got the moth versus the pink and ain't gonna work. A lot of people don't know sir Gene's a brownie.

The, I do have the, the pew pew thing set up today, which means it won't make any noise, because I figured if I set it up correctly, then it should be quiet. Oh. Day. Only a boost of 10,000. Set or. Oh, there you go. Perfect. You should set off Bill O'Reilly saying it's unrelenting. And for that happens. Since that is about a $10 boost, then we will immediately stop the show and talk about whatever it is in your in your boost. Maybe, but I think it's going to be, it's going to be quiet.

Yeah. Oh, I'm sure, you know, I don't believe anybody is actually going to boost. Although there were a couple of boost between shows, including, one from our buddy Speedy Bubble who came in with us. Yeah. Patented one, two, three, 4 or 5, which I like. Oh, that's what that was. I was like, what is that 6000? That number mean one, two, three, 4 or 5. Yeah. Well I forgot that you get half of that. Yeah. Damn taxes. It's it's the dairy. No tax.

He says okay, since Ksbw doesn't want to donate anymore, this one is on behalf of CBS Norah O'Donnell. I'm pretty sure she'd love your podcast. Oh, yeah, I bet she listens. I mean, she would get more news on the show than you would on CBS. So thank you Speedy Bubble and thank you to Dale junior. This guy is like a podcasting listening legend. And he listens to my other shows. A big Planet Rage fan listens to random thoughts.

And he came in with a 10,000 Satoshi boost and said hey, I had a couple of spots open in my listening schedule and decided to give this a listen. I have to admit, some of the discussion is over my head, but I enjoyed it anyway. I don't know what that means because we're running in about a fifth grade level right now. What's it so like with you? Grades. Do you complete math?

He says will definitely listen to some more episodes. I, I did not finish, but I got very close to getting my degree at DePaul, which I'm kind of excited, that Donald Trump, one of the things they were talking about was like, USA University will accept all credits from all colleges. And so, I don't know, maybe it's I'm just bored. I can finish and get my, bachelor's and finally have the degree.

Yeah. And and just sort of like, you know, it's really funny because, okay, we're definitely running in a sixth grade education here because you didn't get your bachelors. No. There. Darren. Darren, get Darren, another Darren, and the other Darren. Darren and the other Darren brother, Darren. Ben didn't get his bachelors and I didn't get my bachelors. See, people are now like, we're hanging up. None of these guys even know. They don't know shit. They don't know shit.

Hey, I went, I went to school for seven years, so. Hey, baby, you can see that. Shouldn't be setting it off. Now, let's pretend I didn't. I went to school for seven years, so I figured that's worth seven years of college. Yeah. What are you doing in philosophy? Oh, well, that would make sense. Yeah. And so basically I would need to get a PhD for I mean the bachelor philosophy means nothing. So you pretty much have to get a PhD. And I was just taking classes

not in the order you need to graduate. Oh. But in the order of. I like this professor. I don't like this professor. Yeah, that's pretty much what I did, too.

Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Okay. Maybe your major was a, communications. So I did take a couple of journalism classes, public speaking, all that kind of stuff. I think Ben was Latin. I took two years of Latin in high school. That's insane. I think that's okay. I may have fixed this. Now, see, I had set the custom pew, but it was in a different browser, so that maybe that is what did it. That sound was also at about double the volume of your voice. See here. Boost and boost in boost in.

That was net net though he just says I love boosted with poncho and left I well yeah that's all I got. Oh I like that too. That's that's a good one. So you got time zone. See him is he. I thought he was Canadian. He's Detroit man, which is very close to okay. So it's basically Canadia the very. Yeah. You almost you were the there I'm there. Next time you boost from what's going on across the border.

If they're picketing the bridges again or so what you to and I and dude prevent them from going back and forth should really be doing is, giving out degrees because we don't have any. So we should create, not the unrelenting degree. There you go. See all this stuff? It's like we're working on the fly here. So thanks for helping us test that out. That that, that that says I is about five years of college and also no bachelors. He's like, I do have two associates though. That doesn't count.

That's like having a double Nicole birthday. And I found that if you look at history the people that made the most impact and the two big college dropouts meaning they, they had enough, enough ability and then to like to get past high school and into college but not enough interest to focus on something as mundane as degree and then were instead working on doing something right. What do you realize the bullshit that they were putting you through for no apparent reason except to take your money?

People don't come out of college educated overall. No. Yeah. Now, if you're a doctor, you need at least ten years of philosophy, right? I mean, you do, you do tons. Tons. You're a very philosophical guy. Yeah. You know, it is the magic of the, I just started off on a much more practical path. I was the economics major when I came in, and, you know, I was, in fact, I think I mentioned it on my other podcast. How many of you have changed just to grow boys?

You know, really kind of two and a half, because the half I haven't put out an episode and, probably about a year, so I'm still paying for the whole thing. That's a bit of a hiatus. Yeah, it's definitely a bit of a hiatus. But, you know, I do the weeklies with them. So that's that's again, it's our Polish, but I'm still, giving money to your, solo show. Or doesn't you think that exists because it's not a real podcast if there's only one voice? No, no, I don't feel any money on that, but.

Yes, but, it's all right. This is really it's interesting because it's like everybody in the Omega project. He said it took him eight years and four schools, but he got his masters. So I mean, there's. There you go. Yeah. You do a lot of things. I think if somebody actually went through and figured out, like, I could probably get my bachelors with a quarter worth of classes and I could probably get a masters with about three quarters for that.

So it's it's one of them things I assume these things don't expire either, but who the hell knows? And also, I'm not really particularly interested in going to school. No, it was one of these things that where it's like, well, if you're gonna do online classes and there's the easiest online classes usually are, and I can just go, okay, graduated. Yeah, yeah. Kind of how it works. Donald Trump is changing the world. I do I do brilliant classes, you know brilliant those. Right.

You've seen the answer I don't think I have really I'm surprised you haven't seen ads. I mean they're not like they're ads. They're not. So much ads as they're sponsorships. A lot of YouTube channels that I watch that are scientific based tend to advertise brilliant brilliance is website for learning things in a interesting, different way than you will be taught in school. So they're I think the target audience is actually people like us. But potentially of any age.

But, let's say that, you know, we're never really particularly clear on calculus when you went to school, but you somehow managed to copy enough

assignments from other people to pass, but allegedly, allegedly. Right. You could actually take a, classes, calculus and. Brilliant. And it's, self-paced, obviously. And so you could do as much or as little, but they're, they're all gamified so that there's both encouragement to you. And answering one question leads kind of to the next follow question. So they're all sort of connected in a way that, school tests tend to be they're just random.

So their goal is to get you to learn not to pass a test that says you're going to be a good worker. And right now that says, I've done shit. Brilliant before. Obviously it was a creative writing class. Yeah, yeah, there you go. But that's always been the, through. My biggest problem when it came to the education system was, everything up through high school was easy enough to where very little effort was needed. So getting the college just made it nearly impossible to, to try to care.

It's like I'd go into class. I couldn't even keep my eyes open. But. And the other side of that, you put me in front of a computer and go, hey, learn COBOL, be like, whoa, this is this is interesting. There's a reason for this. This is, so I wish I had a better example than COBOL, but I know something that would keep your interest. Back then it was Pascal and or even boob punch cards. I'm going to have to take lunch off and do this. You gotta. We got a program. The computer going to need some.

I need some training. Chad. Protection. Just the way it works. But that was it. If I was interested in it, then there was no problem. The time flies. Hours would go by and be like, wow. But you're like, hey, read Shakespeare. I'd be like, nope, Shakespeare is not boring, man. It's actually very good writing compared to the crap we have with Hollywood. Now here we get to the segment where Gene espouses on the brilliant pays 25 bucks a head for affiliate stuff.

I'm just checking right now in real time. Oh, well, this explains why. I wonder if we can sign up. Well, we're talking right. We're bringing people right now. Can we get the coupon code? I mean, we are pushing. Brilliant. No matter what there are. So it's like you're already doing a commercial for them. I know. Right? On. Now let's see. What. What are we? Entertainment? Standards? Fitness. What are we fishing with as Fleur Daming to. Yes, yes.

The fishing that their bodies protected by brilliant battery. Yes. They would love it. Oh, my God, that's hilarious. Yes, I should totally sell them the less of something. And the you know what the even the artwork on that. I was kind of surprised YouTube didn't just go, it was beautiful though. Yeah. It's, something something else that it is, good. Yeah. It's, But I will say that I do like to say, and it has a number of, it has a large number of topics to cover.

But what I was surprised by was by how long the classes are now. Is this, like, surprised presented by if you know, I don't it's all. It's all cartoon characters. What. It's all it's all. Yeah. So it's not a thing like what there was another. There's no human talking. That's the beauty of it is it's you, you, you don't have to memorize anything. You're basically just working through problems and whatever the topic is with the use of cartoon drawn, you know.

So this isn't like you, Demi. Where everybody's like, I want to have a clue. No, no, no, no no, this is, this is, I think, much better because you would agree. I mean the you do separates. Yeah. What people realized really quick, nobody was going to pay for shit that most people were going to go to YouTube and do for free. So you can't do a class in charge on a platform if somebody is doing the same thing and giving it away for free on a different platform. Yeah, yeah.

Well, and I don't remember how much this thing costs, but it was, you know, it's pretty cheap also then. Definitely, if you buy a whole year in advance, that's how they get you. But it's also, a lot of different topics. Calculus is literally one of them that's in there. I and that I noticed. But there's a ton of different, different topics that you can do.

What I'm saying is the classes are long, meaning like normally in the website, if they've got a little training thing, let's say for programing or something, it's, it's going to take you maybe 15, 20 minutes to go through it. And then you're kind of done and you have to go to a different topic. This thing, goes on for hours and hours and hours on a single topic for like until you really got it totally down. So it's it is more in-depth than I was expecting.

I was expecting a little more, you know, just surface level knowledge, but it actually has a lot more than that, which is good if you want to learn. The internet's the place to be. Dude named Ben's doing Spanish. Oh, oh. That's it. Oh, la is, is now done, I think. I don't remember the exact number, but something like 250 days in a row is a track. Like how often you do it tonight? And so. Yeah. There you go.

So he's, he, he took, I think he took Spanish in high school, actually, along with, Latin. But he, turned out to be doing Spanish for whatever reason because he wants to go down. So I wouldn't go to Mexico, man. Dangerous. Go to Spain. Way better. No, no, no, no, go to Colombia. Well, it's all down there. Better than Mexico. Probably safer to go right now. It's it's it is safe in Mexico. Absolutely.

And then if you have any problems and you know, so say a bunch of, you know, the, bad guys, the Bandidos in Colombia surround you, and, and they're really about to just close on in, just yell out and have to leave. And they run. They've heard the name of you. Confuse them. They're like, how do you spell this? Yes, exactly, I don't know. Do you know that you sit around quite a long time? Nobody knows. Certainly. Mofo also says Chile is nice.

Chile. I've. I think the issue with Chile is most of it is very high in the mountains. Not that there's all smoking weed. No. I mean, I don't think they are smoking weed, but yeah, they I supposed to be pretty good. They did dual citizenship with the U.S.. Well, it's one of the places that actually has a capitalist system that, unlike some of these other southern America. And you're right next to the country with no extradition, so it's perfect.

For some of us that we, if I may be more interesting than others, the main thing people are after, of course, I wouldn't know. Yeah. Just in case you've really screwed things up in the United States. Yeah. You want to? No extradition country. So Snowden might get in. Might be getting a pardon here soon. Well, this, Tulsi like them, she's got the ear of the Donald.

And it's an interesting thing to see how people are split upon what he did, because there's I mean, there's it's not it's the epitome of a story that. Yeah, you understand that things are not exactly black and white because the case can be made, that what he did put lives in danger. And it did. But on the other side of that, the case can be made that corruption was being exposed. I don't understand why putting lives in danger is a problem. It all depends whose lives are in danger.

We do that every day by driving down the road. Well, yeah. Depends how you drive. I suppose. I just stay at my house and I'm not. How you drive, how other people drive. I have a fully safe room here, with, like, 18 inch steel walls. You know, I just I just go in there, you know, and I just curl up. It is at least a half inch solid there. Well, if you have to, in case there's a nuclear blast. Right.

It is a classic whistleblower said that you remember, you could get your EMP shield using the, discount code. Third gene. Yeah. You have to everywhere you go, just put in coupon code searching. Yeah, it'll work more than you think they will. Yeah, because you signed up for everything. Everything? How's that Coke? Do you ten going? We might have a discount for that soon too. Oh, I just took some before the show. Yeah, perfect. Took some for the show.

And the nice thing is for everything Jim forgot to sign up for. I just sign up under the coupon code, sir Gene. So. That's right. Just with your. It's your mailing. Yeah, right. The checks come to me. Everything works out. Yeah, well, I, you know, I, I sign up for everything under, job. So we're all boys. Yeah. You know, boys, now, the grumpy old band is still on kind of hiatus. What is that? What is that? Somewhere that. Hey, we had a Christmas show, man. It was a great show. But it is.

It is Valentine's Day now, so it is. Yeah, yeah. And I tell you, I got so lucky that my dad, his birthday is on Valentine's Day. Oh, nice. Which means for the wife. Sure. When we first started, this, was it, like our first Valentine's Day? Day. They went to your dad's house? No, we went to the top of the John Hancock, the 95th. You know, the expensive restaurant downtown Chirac before you would get shot just for going down there. Yeah. But it was really money there.

It was downhill from there that Valentine's Day. He's got very much. Yeah. Pedestrian from there tonight. What's dad's birthday? Come on. It's a made up holiday anyway. It's a invented by hallmark. We know this historically Regency. Durex done a whole number on this. Well, he just does not love. Love. Well, he's been successfully living in a different state from his wife for 25 years. He's got it figured out. He doesn't take it.

It's the best way to a successful marriage is to have still been married. If they. If I think different states is married, the phone is turned off in the drawer. That helps too. Yep, yep, he's got it down. Why did you pick it up? My calls, I don't know. Oh, it's always in the drawer. Yeah, phone's been in the drawer. Haven't charged it for two years. Well, it's still charge. I don't know, will it? It it's a flip phone.

I was looking at flip phones the other day on Amazon, and I'm very disappointed because almost all the flip phones are called something like jitterbug or old man's phone or, right. You know, but that's the where's my where's my pacemaker phone. Right. Well, that's the older name actually. Insults. Yeah. Well, they don't know because they're mainly Chinese companies. At least they're a little better than the obvious made up names that you get at an Amazon.

Yeah. And it makes sense I have a whole video explaining why they do it. Yeah. But it's one of those that you know it's the answer. It's something to do with trademark and it was a whole I mean I don't remember every little detail. So some so that that some, some phone isn't good. Maybe, maybe not. So am E sue me some. So it's the sue me phone and it's Sue me. Yeah. Would it blows up in your pocket. It's the sue big. So yeah. Or the tow. Yeah I'm a car.

Those are always get there is not a big business. And it shows you again where we are as a society. There is a huge demand for the latest Android phone, the latest Apple phone, both of which are beautiful spy devices. They got two jeeps. They want to be your always on assistance. So everything you see, they they're listening. You hear, they're watching everything you do. They're listening to everything you do. And it tells you this, you know and that's.

Yeah. Yeah. They charge more for that feature. The nefarious part is that people don't realize how that could backfire on them. There's a huge demand for those devices. But the simple telephone and I think those flip phone style cheap as they should cost you like 15 bucks without any kind of contract, would be perfect for people to give their fucking kids rather than have a smartphone where it's like, well, here's your phone, you can send the text, you can make a phone call.

That's all you can do. So for this whole oh no, if there was this little Jimmy Hazard emergency well here you go. You can call you don't need the internet access and all of the apps for an emergency. Like with a phone. Yeah with a phone. So in cyber for 2077 video game. Yeah. One of the rare genes that exists is more in the video game. Video games are like, what are you talking about anyway?

In there, there's an a mission, an event that the character has to go to contact a sleeper agent in a part of a city. And the after, like seven years of him being deep cover and the way that she has to do it is by using a landline and she looks at it and this trying to figure out, you know, I mean, there's buttons you can press and stuff. And she answers the number, and then she has no idea what to do with the the handset. It's confusing. Like you're just holding it.

And then Johnny Silver hands, who's played by Keanu Reeves, good old Johnny Silverhand. Yeah, he does video games these days because they pay better. Yeah, that's more fun. And you can probably work from home, but a whisper room in there is. No. You kidding? No. You definitely don't work from home. It's. It's exactly the same thing as making movies right now. You're working in a huge green screen with a bunch of white dots all over your face and body wearing a unitard.

Oh. What's more, okay, so he's providing more than his voice for the. Yeah, okay. Yeah. That's how all games are made though. All games. All games now in this game, do you have a sushi guy? I mean, just want to know how realistic. Yeah. Yes. Absolutely. So I was like, that's one of the things you can do. It's one of the first things on the game in fact, is you're meeting your, your, buddy that you're going to go rob somebody with at a sushi place, right outside the building.

I mean, I love that there was an episode of Frasier where they get into the world of underground sushi, which I like. This is like, gee, this is his life. I'm. I actually found a very good fact that might order from them. They're a very, very good not technically sushi, but a, what do they call it? What's the Hawaiian sushi thing called? But no, not poi. It's very in city. It's basically sushi, but Hawaiian style.

But it is really freaking tasty because I've been to a bunch of sushi places here, and, you know, there's there is a couple of staples that I like. A couple of good places, but they're also mucho expensive. Oh, it is pokey. Yeah, pokey. That's the word. Yeah. I figured somebody would chime in with it. That that was fast. Omega project. Very close behind. Yeah, it did you. You just said Tulsi sushi, which is nuts. I'd go for that. Yeah. Probably be very tasty.

But yeah, this place is quite good. And, they had they ran a two for one deal, which. You gotta love those. Yeah. Nothing says quality sushi like two for one offers. Well, yeah. So instead of spending, 120 bucks, you're spending 60 bucks for your deal. Not like it's about to spoil or anything. Yeah, exactly. So let's see. They open at noon. But I'm gonna have to selectively order this for after we're done. Oh, they get the bucks off now to $8 off. They deliver right near the door.

That's not as good a deal. Yeah, well, you got everybody all excited for sushi? Yeah. Well, for Pocky rather, it is Valentine's Day, though. So let's also understand that, let's not give a shit because it doesn't really matter. The companies are like, we are not giving you deals because we think people are buying this stuff. They'll pay more for Valentine's Day. Rito, because this is Austin, a pokey Rito. A pokey Rito. That was it.

Is that a burrito with pokey, or is that a margarita with pokey in it? It's a seaweed or hot Cheeto wrap with white rice and okay, inside bring you can make anything into a burrito. Pretty much. I did see a YouTube video a couple of weeks ago from a, a Mexican chef from a local burrito joint here in Chirac, and he went around with this other dude just to like, 4 or 5 different burrito joints of their different specialties and how they do things in a little bit of a different way.

And like, you can make anything a burrito, that's the beauty of it. Yeah. I guess it's, What kind of burrito do you usually get? I am partial, to a chorizo. Okay, so this is all right. Either chorizo and steak, but every now and then. Chorizo. An egg. My, I've had those recently. My my favorite currently because I don't know if I've just never noticed these or if they just started making them in

the last year. Is is a brisket. Oh, with the like the birria, the Mexican brisket like. Yeah. The so the meat is brisket which is so good. Yeah. Well I just have the braise goat which is like a goat brisket which is still freaking awesome. Yeah. I just don't like to pick bones out of my burritos. Yeah, well, that's why they do that for you. That you got a guy that does that. No, nobody does that. If you order goat. Always expected to come with bone in the barrio, which is the, I know, they know.

It's like it. At first when I had it, I was like, wow, this kind of seems like pot roast, which, is very close to that kind of a texture, but it was great. I mean, they simmer it pretty much on for like, 24 hours, and the magical spices. Yeah, it's still not enough. Off the bone spin. The barrio tacos are just delicious. You got to try something different. I have not yet I mean people swear by. They say their grape never had the like what. The tongue. Tacos. I'm still I'm not a fan of town.

My, my mom used to cook. Then I just never understood why. You're like there's way better cuts of meat and I understand there. It's cheaper. Like a tenderloin. Yeah. Hello. He's like, give me filet mignon. Jesus Christ, why would you ever eat a tongue? Well, it's it's literally one of the most used muscles in the body. It's not going to be tender. They were forced to back in the day. Their choices were limited. And I understand that.

And I applaud them for making the best that they could of the nasty bits as Anthony Bourdain. Yeah, the real color. A much better nasty bit than the tongue. Oh well, ribs are freaking awesome. Ribs are delightful. Little burnt ends even just boom. Oh that's mostly what I get. Just the burn ends like this is just so many though. So bad for you but so good. Dude, you know how expensive that shit is here now though. How much I know. We've talked regularly about cost of things going up. Well, you.

I went to the replace. Like, what are eggs now in Austin. But Kemba it's ten bucks minimum. There are some that are up to 12 here which is just like go to the me I know. And I, I routinely used to buy eggs for a buck a dozen. Yeah that's about right. Yeah. Because chickens poop them out no matter what. Well the, the wife at the village here because there are areas that are, unincorporated.

The people in the unincorporated areas are getting very interested in having chicken coops now, there's a video that, nick free Hola or something like that put out. He's a, a congressman up in, Virginia. Very good guy. He's he's funny and very conservative, but he, she just did this sort of comedy video about, about chickens or eggs, and he says, yeah. You know, for those of you that are, a city folk in there, you, you want to come out here and and get some chicken eggs?

You know, you you got, you got to learn the lingo. You got to understand what they're actually, called because, you don't use words like. Doesn't the cops know exactly what that means if you use the word doesn't. And so he's basically he's doing, like a chicken version of a drug by kind of a thing where, he's got all kinds of different code words for, you know, how many different things you want. Do you want the white ones or brown ones or whatever? So it's, it's hilarious.

And the guy is a congressman, which makes it more fun, generally goes with the brown eggs. They have to be free range. You're absolutely correct in that I only get the brown free range eggs. Yep. Looking at the prices here from ex-Senator Barbecue have been spent way too long since we got ribs from this place. It's a little shack on the side of the road in a questionable area, which is really where you find you get your best ribs. I think we've talked about that before.

The thicker, the bulletproof glass is here in Chicago, than the better it is, the better the ribs are going to be. Well, the good thing about rib places, as you can generally tell if they're going to be good or not by the smell, the smoke on the outside before you walk in. Oh yeah, you should be able to pick it up at least a block away, if not more. And interestingly enough, they don't have the menu on their website. So the price is probably varying.

Yeah. Yeah. So the, the place that's convenient that I've brought people to a lot of times when they're in Austin is it's one of the larger barbecue joints because the smaller ones, like you get to stay in the line for an hour and fuck that, but this one's a little bigger. Wait, you don't have a guy to stand in line for, you know, for barbecue, but it's black, over, on the south side here. Just like I am in Austin with the blacks. The blacks barbecue.

It's actually called something else, but it's he's a he's basically like the the wayward son of the black barbecue family that's actually about an hour south of here. And he went off and started his own restaurant. And so they're competing against the family now. Oh, which is pretty funny. You turned against the South. I said blacks, I think they did a segment on them in the Barbecue Wars in the TV show. Anyway, so their brisket is good. I would say it's a good like eight out of ten.

It's not a ten out of ten, but it's readily available and it's good enough. And they when I first moved to Austin, first time I went there, I was somewhat surprised at how expensive the brisket was, given that it's a place, you basically stand in line with a tray and you tell them what you want and they'll give you a little plate of it. So it's a buffet, right? But it's not like an all you can eat buffet. It's a line buffet where you go through in order the stuff you want.

Do you want the creamed corn? Do you want the, you know, whatever else you want? I mean, I, I just get the creamed corn. I don't know what else people get. And then the price back. Then when I first moved here 15 years ago, that was, 17 bucks a pound. And I was like, Jesus, for brisket. That seems excessive. I mean, given that I'm paying, like, back then, like 27 bucks a pound for flaming down there while for tenderloin and, but, you know, you don't eat brisket that often, so screw it.

Fine. Or do you, you don't. You know what it is now for, what pound of brisket. Yeah. Yeah. So it's when I moved here 15 years ago, it was 18 bucks a pound for brisket, which seemed tight. Then it's got to be like 45 now. It's very good. It's 47 right now. 47 bucks a pound for brisket. Same restaurant. Well, this I only guessed because I just did an episode of Random Thoughts because people were talking. Very good show, including the a great Bill O'Reilly.

Like a podcast because it only has one person talking. But it's a good show. It's a delightful show, and I wanted to see how much Disney World had gone up and the last time the wife and I web was 15 years ago, stayed at the Grand Floridian, had the dining package, had the park hopper, seven day vacation, was an eight day park hopper pass. 15 years ago when we went it was 29 100 and something. The same thing now is 9100 000 my gosh. Tripled. Little over tripled.

So that's why I'm like, well, if you're saying the brisket was 17, it's got to be over doubled. I think tripling in price in 15 years is some of the highest inflation that we've ever had. But to be fair, most of that happened in the last five years. So it's still it started kind of on Trumps last year. But yeah leave spending with the COVID's and a boom. Everything started getting out of control and nothing ever went back down. Nothing. No. And it won't until competition comes back.

So what I don't believe the people that are like, well, restaurants are never going to bring prices down. Well, here's the thing. If you're a again, if you're a barbecue joint, and the barbecue joint down the street is equal quality of yours and they go, hey, well, prices came down for our sauce, so we're going to bring our prices down 20%. Well they're going to take all the business.

So it's capitalism works because you can't you know, as long as somebody is willing to undercut you, which is always, there's always somebody willing to undercut the price, the prices will regulate back down the concept that they're never going to go back down. I don't buy the same thing with Disney World. I think Disney World, if they look around and nobody's in the park and nobody's in the restaurants and nobody is in the hotels, they go, Guess we had to lower the property.

Finally. Exactly. Yeah. I think there are certain things. Well, you're there. The prices for them have also obviously risen. So there is there is some point to which they can't drop back down. Right. But, you know, competition will take care of that. So if somebody starts to just out price themselves, their number of patrons would go down and they they may end up going out of business because they have no good choice.

They can't drop the prices to increase the patrons high enough simply because they, like their costs are too high and they may not have enough patrons to pay the bills just from a total amount of money coming in standpoint, which they'll they'll end up having to shut down. I would like I personally think that if Disney ends up in bankruptcy, that will be a good thing for America because they're one of the most evil companies in the world.

Not because the the pedophile ID that they support, which is part of it, certainly, but because they have created an absolutely horrible, image that and really their image and stories that they're selling to little girls about being princesses, that is ruined women in America. You think that's the Disney princess effect, not TikTok? Absolutely, absolutely. It's well, it's a combination of Disney and shitty parenting. Well, yes.

Back in my day, parents used to, you know, slap kids around when they did something bad. Yeah. Not only does that not happen anymore, playing hockey, bleeding on the carpet, you got smack dab on. Stop that carpet. Exactly. Yeah. You want to bleed on the carpet and you're going to really feel like you're going to bleed sitting here. I'll give you a reason to blow yourself to bleed about that. But if your parents didn't physically beat you, that means they didn't love you. That's true.

They're happy. At least the threat is. That may be enough for some kids, sure, but they like if they just. If you never got spanked, you never got slapped. You never got anything physical. That literally just means they don't love you enough. You know, it's interesting to see it. I don't, which is why you're paying for therapy right now. If all of the videos are legit and you see the ones now of the people that are shoplifting and getting caught who are like, so surprised.

Yeah, yeah, we know we've been doing this for years. Yeah, exactly. But they're bitching about things that they were cheating and lying about being shut down. Just looked up here. I can get my local grocery store, the local mare. Yeah. Certified Angus beef brisket, whole brisket for, for 29 a pound by 11 pounds would be 47 bucks. That's not too bad. Them. Well, but still 47 bucks for a brisket.

Yeah. Yeah. It's I suspect the price of brisket like raw brisket is also a little higher here in Austin as well. But it's still what you're paying for is the going rate which like good luck finding brisket in Austin. Cheaper than 40,000 bucks a pound. Right. And I'm going to find it. I just looked up, which the other day I bought two packs of two dozen eggs, and they were at 869, which, for whatever anybody else is paying, not a bad deal. That is now up to 1109.

I look back last year, like early last year, the two dozen pack was 369. So you went up from $3.69 to $11. It's insane. Yeah, yeah, a dozen eggs are still 599, which seems a lot better than most places at this point. Yeah, that's about two thirds of what you'd be paying here, that's for sure. Large brown eggs. 599. The organic eggs, 18 pounds. 799 doesn't seem bad for organic eggs. I'm looking for the most expensive eggs. They probably hide those towards the bottom.

They know this. I don't buy those. I'm not buying into that scam. No, none of them are all that bad. I mean, by comparison, none of them are all that bad. The cage free, extra large, most expensive 99. What's the most expensive eggs that you can find here? The free range dozen at 749 appears to be the most besides for a one dozen. Cheap. Yeah, I know you should get all your eggs here in, the. Oh, my God, who would have thought that, Illinois.

Oh, there is a there isn't a well, this is the it's 18 free range at 899. So. Yeah. Still the 12. Oh. Wow. You can get bargains here. I the eggs just come through. If you're in Texas, come to Chicago by the couple dozen that, you leave in the egg guy. You just needed a guy like you, Kramer and, Newman with the mail truck. You just need a guys to get a bunch of eggs and drive them down your way. It's not a bad idea. Yeah. Import egg. You could be the egg guy.

When I was growing up, we had an egg guy, and I know it sounds like I grew up in the 1950s, but there was a, delivery, like, weekly, maybe. I think it was, which was, milk and eggs. Like any of your dairy products, they still do. The other drop off delivery. It's like that was a day's gone by, I guess. I don't I'm trying to remember. I know we have a ice cream truck that drove by when I was a kid once.

It was actually technically just frozen food, but mostly people bought ice cream from it, and it would just drive down the street and then stop at people's houses. Everybody just came out and bought their fresh delivered ice cream. So here in the store that that is it like if I want to buy something a little more exotic than what H-e-b sells, I'd go to Central Market, which is owned by H-e-b. So it all works out. They're taking your money there. It's all H-e-b, it's all TV.

So my central market, pasture raised large brown eggs are currently 13, 30 a dozen. Wow. Hey, if you can beat the Roosters with over 10,000 sats, just do I want to see if that works? And somebody said that's a just over a buck. An egg. So it's a buck ten per egg. Literally is about ten per egg. Yeah. Also sending out like a 100 set boost to I want to see if the things now the ones I get are not that expensive.

The ones, the ones I get is Central Market organic pasture raised, large brown eggs which are only 1080 1000. What is up the most out of all the I mean, eggs do seem to be the, by far the thing that has. I think eggs want them the most because the, they're not late. They're fairly heavy. They have, shelf life. They kill the birds bad. But it doesn't matter, dude, because new birds get pooped out literally every day. They can replace all the chickens in about 30 days.

That's what they're going to do. And then the prices are going to come down because they're going to be beautiful prices. You're not going to pay the prices you're paying. The other thing is, remember, the dollar has been inflated, which means that really if we look at the inflation calculator and we put in $13 for a dozen eggs today, that'll come out to like $3.15 years ago, it's like you to say, 15 days ago.

Yeah. Well, the way things are going right now and I love all the liberals tweeting now. Oh yeah, the economy sucks worse than ever under Trump. Look at my prices are going up, not down. Yeah. What's wrong? Biden. Shit. It's all his fault. Not Biden's fault. It all, Snoop Dogg. Besides, hey, Trump was the president before and Trump's the president after, and it's all his fault. I like that the Obama bro is we're on a podcast and we're like, oh, we're pissed when you could do this.

We would have loved to have done some of this stuff Trump is doing to get efficiency back in the government. And then you see people are pulling out. That's the one beautiful thing of the internet is you're seeing, which I believe is real video, not I, Bill Clinton, of Obama saying that we need to rein in spending. We need to get the government more efficient. Anybody this you shows you that the left today is the type of folks that no matter what Donald Trump does, it's wrong.

He could find the cure to heart disease, to cancer. He could save puppies and children, and they're going to say it's bad. So last thing on the eggs that the cheapest dozen eggs that I have in this store is for Dutch farms. Great. A extra-large eggs. You know, these are not organic, not free range, not anything. They're not even brown. Your basics, your basic white eggs, they are four, 65, a dozen. That's the starting point. It only goes up after that. So I think that's cheaper than our lowest.

So I mean it's it's really. Yeah. Oh that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah I mean I don't they even come in a completely not earth friendly styrofoam container. I love those they're great. They don't come in the super earth friendly clear plastic container, but you can see all the eggs through. Although the nice thing about seeing them now is you can see how many are broken.

That's the point. Yeah. And I do, have to thank Scott Gorman, who started a new $10 a month donation through PayPal and came in with nice. Our whole show is a donation segment. That's the beautiful thing of this. Yeah, well, when we're done with donations, you'll start hearing music, right? Yeah. Just got Gorman the speedy bubble, Dale junior, all, like, ten bucks or more. This is a beautiful thing. This is CSB. I know you're listening. Live. And, God, I don't like me anymore. That's what.

No no no no no no. He notes you hate him. He knows you hate him. He's like that. Like he. What's something? I don't remember even what he posted. And I responded with a Kojak name. Oh my goodness. Who remembers Kojak? Telly Savalas with good loves you, baby. Right. And he was bad, baby. Back to. If not you. Yeah, you. But yeah. That's good. There's nothing but love CSB he's, he's an interesting. Yeah, it's called Bdsm. Love the way that Darren does it.

Well, you know, on Valentine's Day sometimes we've seen chains and handcuffs just come in handy. What you like thing your wife doesn't care what you do with your, listeners. Just. She's like, just. You just leave me out of it. This is the way. Yeah. She's like, oh, thank God I don't have to be involved in this shit. Yep. Does not listen to the podcast. She claims she gets the 24/7 live feed. So That could see that.

But it's so entertaining. I don't understand if you want to help support the show unrelenting. That show donate do it for boost. If you're at a podcasting 2.0 app, if you have something really important people, it's the best kind of boost. That was it though I mean. Yeah it takes more. It's easier a boost for where occasionally I get a transfer of it. Well and you're still getting the the transfer here.

That's why that's the one downfall still of this boost tracker when somebody boosts it now splits it on my device between my wallet and your wallet. So it still shows up as to boost, even though it's one boost just to two. Yeah. People. But you still have it. You've got to build it up, man. You have got a, crypto nest egg. Build it up right here on my Raspberry Pi. So if my Raspberry Pi up until you steal it, I know, Jana, it's all good. I mean, steal is such a strong word for something.

You're right. Your your, your raspberry will just magically break one day. That's that's usually how I'm reclaiming my time. That's all I'm doing. We have, in the surge, so we should probably talk a little politics, too. But, like, I'm still given that we're in the second month, middle of the second month, credibly impressed at the speed of effort coming out of the Trump train. Well, he's doing what he said he wanted to do. It's amazing. And somebody explained it well, in fact, what's his name?

Robert F Kennedy junior explained that he said that he observed because he's been hanging out with Trump now for six months. He observed that when Trump is out on the campaign trail and he talked about a new topic that he hadn't previously mentioned, he basically made another, promise, right, that he talked about, we're going to we're going to have the best playgrounds for kids in any country.

You know, that kind of like he actually writes it down on a post-it note, which is where he said the wise, you would never remember. You forget. Right? So you wrote it down on a post-it note and then in, in the, in the airplane, they had a post-it note wall where all those post-it notes were, you know, stuck to. And when Trump finally got elected, they he had somebody go through and take every single post-it note and convert it into the form of an executive order.

So he's literally going off of the promises that he thought of in real time while he was campaigning. And then each one of those became a, an executive order. Hey, which is really cool on tips have gone through that. I don't even have to worry about paying taxes. I know. Right? Exactly. That's why you don't take that money out until that goes through. Yes. No. Oh, no. Taxes on tips. That's what this is. Tip tip tip tip account tip jar. So he said they just, give us a tip. That's how we work.

Tip it on in, and, yeah. And it beats the system that every other politician uses, which is say, shit. Don't remember what you said, right? Doesn't matter anyway. You're not going to do it. Well, I think this shows that we have a president, finally, one who can answer questions, which is nice to know, wants to get stuff done. We've seen for the last few decades, didn't matter what side was in the office, there wasn't a whole lot getting done.

And it is a rarity now in our type of politics in the United States for the president, the House and the Senate all to be under the control of the same party. Because if it's not, as you know, getting any laws passed, nearly impossible because you need the Senate and the House, you need a majority in both to pass. It happens every 16 years. I don't know what you mean. Yeah. And Obama squandered his. Yeah, yeah. For all the people that are like oh dela Rosa ways. Like what?

Why didn't Obama codify it? They all squander Bush squandered his. Yeah, but not DJT. This man is on a mission. He's like an ad. I mean, you know what? You're the MMA fighter. He's like, bam. I'm going in, I'm gonna punch people in the face. And I'm like the guy who wants to go fishing with Hitler. But if he wants to go fishing with Hitler, get stuff done, he calls up his buddy Putin and says, hey, here's what we're going to do with Putin. Says, okay, I had a beautiful phone call with Putin.

Perfect. A phone call network. We're we're trading, Joe Biden for some hostages. I don't know, something crazy. Exactly. Like. Joe, we need you to get on this plane. We're sending you on vacation. Yes, yes. Notice they didn't say who they shipped over. Yes, he just said we didn't give up much, which makes sense. It was Joe Biden. We knew who we got back. We. We're not talking about who we shipped over when we gave up. Bob O'Riley had a name.

And again, that was some guy that was allegedly a, one of these guys that, facilitated money laundering and all that. I can get you the name, but, probably worked for, work for U.S. government there. Probably not in the not in the efficiency department that, no, no, no, it's a completely different the Ukraine department usually. Who handles that? Well, yeah. I mean, they have to. That's where all the money goes. And then we don't know where the money goes. It comes right back into the Biden.

Into his yeah. It's the Biden family Clinton family retirement fund. Yeah. It's amazing how it all works out. Yeah. Guess what's her name. Apparently Chelsea Clinton's getting paid like $86 million salary of aid or USAID or whatever. Well, of course, I mean, there's insane amounts of money they're framing. You know, Pelosi's kids. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not just the Democrats who put their kids into, oh, yeah, into these cushy jobs. Yeah, it's also the rhinos. Absolutely.

It's like, this is the issue we need. Mitt Romney's kids are in there. They're working in the whole Ukraine angle. It's like we need to, bring back sanity in that. Well, and what this is going to do, finally, it appears, is it's going to really make it obvious that this is Trump's third term. Well, guess he won the last one. And he was prevented from actually executing it. The prisoner that was swapped out according to Bill O'Reilly. Did you go? His favorite was Alexander Van net.

Oh, that was really they should put him back. That is according to Bill O'Reilly, to get this, latest guy, the the guy who allegedly is not in the CIA, right? The one that was just allegedly, you know, not bad at all. And over at Russia, a computer expert, crypto operator, money laundering. Cybercrime. So, he was arrested for laundering between 4 and 9 billion through Bitcoin. That's nothing. Yeah. Yeah. In May of 2024, Vinik pleaded guilty to conspiracy theory.

I guess, that prison term didn't last for a long time. He was swapped for Marc Fogle, an American teacher who had been detained in Russia on drug use as a teacher. Yes. Let's keep calling him that. And again, this was a case of well he brought in drugs. We knew he brought in drugs. It's kind of like the Brittney Griner thing. Yeah. You can say whatever you want about Russia.

But if the reality of the situation is you know you can't bring marijuana or whatever the drug was into Russia, if you're caught doing it, then people are like, oh, big deal, are the same ones that are screaming about migrants in this country.

So it's like they're not understanding the hypocrisy there. Well, there's a number of factors. First of all, if you're financially, successful enough, like that dude, Brittney Griner was, you don't need to bring that shit in with you, right? You just get the whole bottle in the belly, right? Once you're in the country, literally. Yeah. You're inside. You can buy it there. Although I will say pop is not particularly popular in Russia. Well, maybe people are like you. The DNA just.

It doesn't do anything for them. They're like, what is? Oh, I never thought of that. That's interesting. The Russians might not. They're like weak vodka that we might do nothing. What is what they get off on? Yeah, well, the vodka doesn't do much later. Sexy. There you go. Maybe, but the. But the brisket and the, the caviar and the. Bro, they're they don't really. Well, they do eat brisket, but it's not. It's like boiled. Not, barbecued in Russia. Hey, I've been playing a video game lately.

Shocker. Really? Called kingdom cum delivery. Deliverance. I was going to say, is this relevant? Is this where you deliver other people's food to them in a video game, while waiting for somebody in real life to deliver food to you? Yeah. Kind of. That's like the most that would be the most meta game ever. I want to see that. Like delivery game, like you're an Uber driver in the video game. Like I want to see that like a Idiocracy kind of movie or television.

That would be hilarious because a lot of people would play that, right? Marie? You know, I already played American Truck them. So yeah, now you have Illinois. I mean, did you drive by my house? Yes. I sent you the link. Illinois is coming. It's not out yet, but it's coming. I want you to drive right through beautiful Mokwena. Illinois probably is. Is there a big highway nearby that's going to be the big. Yeah, maybe I could almost like it walked. I'm far out from my area.

A couple miles is only my road, not my house, but my road that I'm on is in the American truck sim. It's literally I can start driving in Austin from about a mile away from my house in the game. Do you somehow forget that you're driving in reality when you're out on the actual roads and it's like six hours later you're in a different state and you're like, oh shit, I'm in my car. I'll tell you what does happen is I am.

When I'm driving the car, I take wider and more careful turns than I ever have in my entire life, from playing the, truck game, from playing the video game, which is. Yeah. So I think if I played like a racing sim, that would be dangerous. Probably. But playing a truck sim, I'm actually a safer driver. It's a result of that. The NASCAR boys are coming your way, but in a couple of weeks down to Cota again not really. Yeah. Beautiful Cota circuit of the Americas.

Yeah. It's it's a neat I've been there a few times. It's neat place. It only has one good place for viewing which is crazy expensive. There I mean you can get tickets for anywhere around the track, but there's one area where you're down from the straightaway which looks really good. Yeah, I noticed the, tickets for the Chicago street race are way down in price, so obviously same thing. Supply and demand.

You can actually go attend both races and sit in the best seats that aren't like the, boxes with the, you know, food and reviews, you know, for like 4 or 500 bucks for both races together, which is isn't bad for, Chicago for anything right now. I guess you might get shot. There's that. I don't know how much parking is in Chicago. $8,000. So giving it the event is about right, because I remember. I remember the first time that I drove to Chicago, I didn't fly, but drove out there.

I was shocked, and this is this would be in the early 90s. I was shocked that the parking was $40. Yeah. Overnight. No, for one hour. Yeah. You go to go eat in a restaurant. Now, granted, it was a good steakhouse, but but that was like way more than any parking in Minneapolis at the time. There's probably the highest parking back then would have been 20 bucks.

Now, when I'm when I move from Dallas to Austin, I, I noticed that, the Dallas $20 per hour parking, which was seem crazy expensive, was nothing compared to Austin's $50 per hour parking 15 years ago. Now, by asking the, perplexity I am New York City has the highest rates for short term parking, with some I just charging over $40 for just one hour. Whew. That's not high. The guy goes was higher than that.

I bet you New York I'm going to be in New York, in a couple of months here, and I think I'll see how much how much parking is. I'll bet you I'll find a place that's pushing 100 bucks. Yeah. The four highest cities of the parking cost New York, Boston, San Francisco and. Yeah, Chicago. Yeah. And then Seattle. Oh, yeah. If you want to go bam! Rose and Seattle and San Francisco. I've been to more recently. I can definitely verify that. Those are crazy expensive New York.

It's been a long time since I've been out there. And Chicago, it's been a long time since I've been out there, and Boston's been I'm still I am Boston last. I think I was there about 17 years ago, last for a project. You remember the little dog artificial, dog company out there, Boston Dynamics? No, no. Robot dog? No, I know Sony made a robot. I'm sure there were other people. Seriously? You don't know who Boston dynamics? No. Oh. Never mind. In Indianapolis, you can park for three hours for $2.

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds about El Paso, Texas. $2 for three hours. Woo! El Paso. Yes. Makes total sense. I'm just an asshole in El Paso. Oh. Paseo El Paso. You know, it's funny. A city called El Paso and they have a border crossing problem. Just come right on in. Literally called El Paso. You would think that that would be why you might want to change your name to get the fuck out. Oh, how about a no paso? No pass. That's even better. Let's make shirts and hats. That would be great.

No paso, no paso. Well they have like a wall up. Yeah it would work I think it's pretty funny. So we're almost done with community is remember I think you and I were talking about it. That got me to get dude named Ben watching up. Yeah. You had to get through community before we could go season five. There's six seasons there. Yeah, yeah. Six seasons. We're on five. I think both of us are right now. And, that's the last decent season. I think that one.

Was that the one where subway was everywhere or was at four, and that was three. Three with subway. It was everywhere. They paid for the show, and then, four was that was the one where Chevy Chase was only in two episodes. Yeah. Where he obviously had a fight with the, producer of the show. Nobody liked them. Apparently, he's a I've heard this from a number of different people working on shows he was on or movies he was on. Apparently he's a total dick. Yeah, but he's good at it. He's got it.

I had to explain to dude named Ben that Chevy Chase having a fall in every season of community was something for those of us are like you and me. No, he didn't know it was around. He didn't know that. He didn't know he had no idea that he was on Saturday Night Live at all. And he didn't know that he felt it. Was it Gerald Ford bit. That was it. Always with Starry Night Live. Was him playing Gerald Ford? Well, there wasn't just that.

I mean, he literally had to write and actually fall in every episode of Saturday Night Live. There was something in sometimes it was the cold open there where he would fall. Sometimes it was a bit, sometimes it was. I remember one time he was on the ladder, like changing a bulb in the in the NBC studios or something in the latter felt, I mean, like his whole thing, his shtick was falling that way. And so when they had immunity. Yeah, I know, right.

It's because he's a dick. Yeah. When they did that in community, I thought, oh my God, I can't believe they did that. That's hilarious. But apparently two people a little bit younger, there's like they had no idea. They don't pick up all the little, no. And the bread crumbs when did say accurately says, you know, I never watch this when it was actually on because I just got out of college when that happened, and I would not have thought that this show was funny when I just got out of college.

And I think he's right, because the humor in the show is, even though it takes place in a college and the characters, some of them are younger, some of them are a little older, but the humor is really Gen-X humor, which makes total sense because, the guy that made the show, whose name I'm forgetting right now. Harmon. Right. Something. Harmon. Yes. Yeah. He is something literally the same age as the South Park guys who are also the same age as you like. So he is, I think 53 right now.

And so that like, this is all humor of our generation. And I can totally see how a guy like dude named Ben, who is, you know, the next generation who's almost 20 years younger, who's clueless, not. Yeah. Like that, you see, would not have thought the show was funny until he got to be in his 30s. That's when the show humor started making sense. The show within the show, the Troy and I bad. In the morning. Yes. So, you know, I think it this, like. Wait, that was.

That's no agenda, but no, that's word. No agenda. Got it. Yeah, I think I think so, Troy and I. But in the morning. How are you doing, buddy? There's a lot of meta stuff in that. I love the fact that in season five, they revealed that the Troy actually got the their special handshake that they use with the tapping on the chest off of a podcast that he watched where a guy suggested that this is something cool you could do with your friends. Yeah, it's like they're that's the thing.

It's that show has so many different levels of meta, and that's why I think it is one of the best, comedies that was ever on TV this century. There's some other ones last century that were very good. But this century, I think community is one of the best because, it is it is a show by somebody of our age bracket generation humor, whatever you want to call it.

It has a lot of that same South Park mentality, and it has a a self-referential thing that I think, honestly, the, the, the no generation has done self-referential the way that gen access to we are great casting, too. Can Jong as a Mexican? Spanish to Spanish teacher. Yeah, yeah. Thought that was fantastic. That guy. I still don't understand how he went to medical school, how he got through medical school like he was a practicing physician. Was he a dentist or was he a physician or.

No, he was a physician. He was a just your regular, you know, main doctor guy before he became an actor. And I like you imagine going to him as your doctor. Hopefully you didn't have anything deadly. You probably still be like, hey, make you laugh. Well, I yeah, like cancer. Hey, how you doing, everybody? The funny topic, man. That whole cancer thing, the thing he did begin pursue acting as a sophomore at Duke. Interesting.

He considered majoring in drama while still continuing his pre-med coursework. Well, yes, he had Asian parents. That's the thing. Well, there you go. And and they they're not afraid to spank their kids, let me tell you that. It's how you turn out right. Physical violence. That's how you turn out. Right. So that's a good show Taylor. Right there. Beat your kids. Let's just yeah. Let's just get a title that gets YouTube to cancel us.

He was several years as a physician of internal medicine at a Kaiser Permanente hospital. That's right. That's I remember that I remember that. Funny, his wife is still a doctor, though, so. Well, that's good to know. Something to fall back up. Well, I think that's the only way that he was allowed to actually pursue comedy is, his wife is Tran Ho. Yeah. Trenholm is a Vietnamese, Vietnamese American and a family physician. Yeah, I know these things. I don't have to look them up.

I haven't like the way right here in this, this black box. But I'm pointing at Tran Ho. Now, that general is an interesting name, Why is that interesting? It's very traditional. Typical Vietnamese name. Yeah. In America means a little something different. Does it though I think so. Yeah. Like what? Like a tran ho. I don't, I don't think that's a thing anymore. Trump had an executive order. Oh well that's true. Wipe right out. The blue hairs are streaming down.

Do you think John Cena Barack has a valid translation that way the blue hair dye causes brain damage. Yeah I, I think there's something to be said for that. I think, you know, we look, we don't know if there's a causal effect, but it definitely is. There's a what's the word? I don't have my B12 yet. Oh, you better get the B12. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's a you might want to throw those both things are present, but you don't know if one's causing the other. Right.

Just because it's like that doesn't mean they caused it. Right. But classically for us. What causation. Yeah. The other one I that's why I said it didn't causes no causation without representation. Gene. Exactly. But luckily for us, much like other things in nature, like if they're poisonous, they're usually red. It is a good self indicator that if somebody has blue hair that they, they are mentally unstable. One the interesting thing is it's the people with the blue hair.

It's the people who are obviously men dressed up as women or vice versa, that when they get noticed, scream that you notice them. It's like you're doing everything in your power to stand out from the norm. Then you are pretending that you are outraged when somebody actually notices what you did. It's so disingenuous. Oh yeah. They're posting in the troll room. Adam Curry was on the Rogan again. Oh really. Three hours and six minutes. Just dropped yesterday.

Oh nice. I will have to watch that okay. What time. What speed are you watching. A three and a half or a three hour and six minute Rogan episode that are you doing? 2.0? No, no, Rogan I watch that usually one and a half acts. If Ben Shapiro is on, I'll watch you when I. Oh, yeah. We obviously have to slow it down. If, you know, I can get Shapiro at one x, that's fine. Okay, folks. He has the two and a half acts right out of the box.

I remember the first time that no agenda played a Ben Shapiro clip, probably 7 or 8 years ago. Do you remember where they played and what was clip about. And I yeah I was like what. Yeah there's something screwed up. This is too fast. Yeah. What's wrong with you? I actually slowed the show down. Nobody really talks like that's what's wrong with the audio. So that audio down, there's something wrong with this guy. He can't talk, that there's nobody talks that fast.

Nobody will ever talk that faster. Yes, but he's very efficient. The whole family talks like. Yeah, the best episode I've ever seen was, the, the, the cartoon thing that that one Catholic dude does, the cartoon thing that that was something to what does that show and people know what I'm talking about. But here and he had an episode of Freedom Toons. Freedom Toons is the cartoons that he does. They're on YouTube. I've never heard of him on the episode. You've never really know.

Okay, go into the YouTube website and type type in the following. It's like Boomer. It has to be the website you you had type in h t t p what's that's where do I type that colon slash and then another slash and then w w w. What's that for you two. Sub. Like what. Like that. Just the letter you slash AOL. You okay to be so. Tangents. Never heard of freedom tunes either. So right there with you brother? Yeah. Well, you should definitely have heard of it.

Especially being Catholic. No, I like boy, but he has a lot of subscribers.

Yeah, it most of his cartoons are funny. Some of them are a little too on the nose, which makes him less funny. But yeah, I try specifically search for freedom tunes. Ben Shapiro Thanksgiving. It has got to be one of the best, funniest, episodes that he's ever done. And so chapters. Ben Shapiro, seven years ago. You are going back. Yeah. Ben Shapiro thing and Ben. Ben, I actually did a reaction video to it, which was pretty funny, which because you go ahead and watch it now. Oh wait.

Yeah, I'm listening to it right now and I'm seeing it okay. Get it. Well what do you get? Well I'm not seeing it or or hearing it. You're not typing the audio incorrectly. Oh no. Because we're not playing the audio in although I could because you could. Yeah, totally. Are we going to get, no, I mean, the fair use. Oh, fair use on YouTube because the beauty is we have to do another YouTube on YouTube. You're good. No, I'm just saying, because we've got, oh, the thing ready for the boost.

That's the only reason why anything's ready to pipe. Oh, well, perfect. So you're already right. It's worth playing a little clip of. Because, you know, if we know if we're not a clip show, we're not a real podcast. Like, no, you're born this way. Just like trying to turn off the, your family. Root and happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for giving. Okay, folks, who made these cranberries? Honestly, these are the worst cranberries I've ever tasted.

I made them, and it's actually extremely impolite for you to insult my cooking on Thanksgiving. Okay, if our taste buds don't care about your feelings. Okay. Okay, gang. Well, if you want to make your own cranberries, feel free. But you're not entitled to free food. And the idea that you would complain over quality of service when you're receiving it for free is just ridiculous. Okay, okay. Can somebody please pass the mashed potatoes? Folks? Auntie, these are my mashed potatoes, okay?

I made them myself, and they're they're for the product of my own labor. And the idea and the idea and the idea that you feel it's acceptable to put a gun to my head and force me not only to give you the mashed potatoes, but to actually have me pass them to you. So something for some reason, I'm getting a little bit of a, like a slap. It sounds great on this end, but that's probably sufficient enough in length for people to think that watching it adds to it. Of course. Is that listening?

You hear one voice that sounds like Ben Shapiro watching it. This is a table full of like, people that all have Ben Shapiro's face, but different bodies and half of them are female and they all have the same voice. And so this is them talking to each other at Thanksgiving dinner. If you if you like Ben Shapiro, you think he is. He's funny. Or you like cartoons, definitely check out this out. And like I said, your three AOL keywords for this are freedom tunes, Ben Shapiro and Thanksgiving.

The Troll Room is saying this is the worst episode of the show with it's ever been done. So we are doing something right. Yeah, well, the money coming in says otherwise, so that just shows you how dumb the troll room is. That's okay. Turning into a Democrat, that will happen. That, that will happen. Yeah. This is the most, supported show we've had in a long time, which. Oh hell yeah, I think this was every episode I'd be like this. I want more clips. We need.

We need more clips. Otherwise it's done a real podcast. We started with the Mexican radio bit. So here was Adam doing the Mexican radio bit. But here's the interesting thing. At the end of this, I think he turned Irish. Let me know what you think. Okay. Hola, Hola Hola. Okay, okay, okay. Pedro Sanchez here in the morning with you. The in the morning with the border. Yeah. Yeah. What he does, he does, he goes, he slips into an Irish accent. Yeah. Like wait this was a great intro to. Yes.

It's a like Pedro Sanchez turned right into Pedro O'Toole. And you can't unhear that once you hear it, it's there. It's absolutely there. It's right there. Oh, it's so funny. You know, I accidentally sent a link to a video to Adam that I was meaning to send to dude named Ben. And the reason that it's funny is because the video is the music video, to the song that we put up here, but the team builds up the YouTube page while you wait.

It's in real time at the song called The Loophole by going Franco notes. Have you all seen Garfunkel notes? You know who I'm talking about? And have you heard the song The Loophole? Aren't they like the comedy thing? Yes, I don't I mean, I know, I just remember that I when I first heard of these people like, oh, they want to be like, all the notes in the song. I'm in a Garfunkel. There's open mics up over all those names. Yeah. No, they are a musical comedy duo.

Oh, much like Brian Ambrose in the Rosettes. No, but they they are well, used to be. They're not. Actually, I don't think they're together anymore, but, they were very funny. And I say that, you know, because they're both women and, the song The Loophole is a song about Christian girls who stay virgins until they're married but have anal sex. Wait. And you accidentally. I accidentally sent this to them, and, there's nothing accidental about sending Zach. No. It's accidental.

Middle of the night, you know, message that I was telling Ben about this song because Ben was telling me about. Well, I shouldn't get into it. That's for him to discuss. But anyway, I thought, oh, there's a song about this, Ben. And so I yeah, I, I was interested in this concept. Oh, oh, a song you can ask them. Ben listens to this show, so I'm pretty sure he's going to be saying, I can't believe you talked about this. Our show next time.

Yeah. Ben. But he'd, We need a boost or we need a donation. Ben, I don't think Darren knows you're alive anymore. He needs proof of life in the form of money. Yeah. I mean, he never asked me to donate to your show. I mean, there's that. How we're doing it. We're fine. You're well above water. I mean, you know, we get monthly donations. We get. We don't get one off. But, unless it was that other three letter agency guy. So, anyway, I sending sending this exactly to dad. Emily I cannot.

Okay. Now the reaction would be, have you looked it up on YouTube? Look at the loophole on YouTube today. There's a lot of this show brought to you by YouTube which were getting paid by them. Yeah. They've got the cash back. Garfunkel and Oates, 11 years ago. So, Eugene, the only thing he can reference are things that happened at least a decade ago. No short term memory whatsoever. All I have is long term guys. That's all that's left. That's all. That's all. It's a cute video.

It's a funny song, and it's absolutely based in reality. I'm with you. Oh, yeah, I see these. Both these chicks have been. Yeah, they're both actresses as well. Yes. And they were also in, the what are the two Australian guys that had the music comedy show on HBO for a while? I don't know, I don't watch HBO. Oh, for fuck's sake. You know who I'm talking about? The come on listener dudes on the, no agenda stream. You know who I'm talking about? The flight of the Conchords.

So they were also on the flight of the Conchords as, I think both of them, but at least one of them. But I think both of them were actually on as at one time. Girlfriends. Yeah, I don't remember. I've seen the blond, but the brunet was in scrubs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The blonds been in number of movies. Also the if you, if you want to go down this path on YouTube, there's another song. No. Yeah, yeah. If you really want to, you know, go down the path, as it were.

I like the other Garfunkel. I know it's pregnant. Women are smug. They were the type. Yeah, that's another one of theirs. Yeah, yeah, but but in the solo, the blond Ricky, she did this song that I sent to Adam as well. And this one I didn't send to Ben because he's not there yet. But I sent to you. I think even it's called middle aged love. Yeah, I did see the link. I didn't watch you bastards and watch it. You should really watch it.

I'm the the blond chick from this group doing a solo song called Middle Aged Love, which Jean knows all about. It's him and is controller. Yeah, and a big screen TV. It's. I don't have a big screen TV, dude. We have multiple monitors at close. I well, I have big monitors. I don't have TVs. They're kind of the same technology now. Yeah, yeah, you were that big, though. I don't wear a sleep apnea machine. Do you? No, but I, I think I probably should, so it's okay. That's that's different.

I guess you like, but I should, I should most of my friends do. That's the cool thing to do. Yeah. No, I'm pretty sure if you talk to your doctor, he'll tell you you should probably. Yeah. I think they try to give that to everybody. Any. Any, man in his 50s that is above average. Wait. They're going to tell you need a sleep at the machine? Yeah, you need this. You don't die in your sleep. Yeah. And I tell them, you know, what I really need is one of these during the day.

So I remember to breathe while I'm. While I'm awake. Which way do you often forget to breathe while you're away? I do it's it's it's become annoying. I will tell you that is that I, I sometimes forget to breathe while I'm doing things. I love watching the charts sometimes. Do Jean and do named Bad Record live? Do they want to record live on the No Agenda stream? Do we want them to do that as cotton aged?

Well, I think it was a scheduling conflict usually for, when you're recording because you recorded. Yeah, it's it's Saturday morning, which there I think there was somebody else on the stream or is there still some. Yeah, there was a stream Saturday that was, 10 a.m. Saturday when we usually record the emo show. There was something on Saturday. Something was going on. Yeah. I don't know if they still are, though. Yeah. It says we don't even want the show a live on the stream.

Well that's true. There you go. There you go. It's, It was always up to Ben. I told them that if I frankly don't know why this show is recorded live on the stream, if it was up to me, I would not be on the stream. It would just be there in I talking.

But what you do, whether it's on the stream or not, well, that's true, but you, you throw in the occasional sound effect, I think because it's on the stream, like the pew pews, but, either way, I told Ben if he wanted to, then it's up to him to talk to the powers that be, to figure out if it's doable and what he needs to do to make it happen. I'm not going to be doing that. No, because ob DMT sent the stream anyway.

I thought I was currently banned off the stream by Ben Rhodes way back when he, So the connection in Am central then you wouldn't said anyway, who's that 11 central ob DM the Our big Dumb Mouth podcast. Never heard of it.

I never out of these shows you've ever heard of. And you're more than welcome to come into the troll room. No agenda that stream you have never been Palmer for us. Did. No no no no, I was I was perma banned from the troll room, but then I was also perma banned from live streaming by Ben Rose. Oh, because I'd send Adam a letter saying what the fuck? Why can't we stream when we want to stream you then Ben Rhodes, your perma band. You will never be on the stream ever again. It was that before.

After. And Adam said, I'm not getting in the middle of this. I don't give a shit. You guys handle it. He's like, I gonna blow the whole stream up. I'm going to turn this stream around. Let me show you kids. I'm. Don't make me mad. Yeah. So yeah, I, I honestly, I think, streaming on X, we get more listeners anyway, it doesn't. We've tried it, but that's okay. Well, not for this show. No, no, I mean for Ben on my show. Oh, yeah. Just two good old boys.

There's a mod because we did stream on X for about three episodes, and then, I had to reinstall some software, so I, we stopped doing it. Oh, yeah, I still do. But the obby. Yeah. The what software. Well, and my, my thing was, that while I have OBS on the PC and I do gaming videos, YouTube, which by the way about, 5000 subscribers now. So who is it all Russian propagandists, of course. Naturally.

And but I record the podcast on the Mac and I don't have obs in the mic. Oh, yeah, I'm having issues with, mics dropping audio in the middle of songs now. So that is really. Yeah. Like, you know, I never had this problem under windows. Yeah. And I don't know if it's something with the V sync, which is just a stupid little waveforms that come in. I keep looking at the, like I guess it's, it's with that little, little tool thing that you use to create different channels for different apps.

That's my guess. Now, that has nothing to do with streaming the music to the, if you mix. I do like though, the dolly. It's always like, oh, do open source software. It's the best man. It's awesome man. You have this big group of people, they can help you, man. It's awesome. Just post, which is that many people will tell you how to fix it. Nope. Crickets posted it like a week and a half ago. Oh, you you should post how to get the mod to work the on Linux exposed that right?

Yeah. You get some help. Yeah that's what some other people want. Like nope, don't know how to do that. I don't run it on other Linux, but I posted the error message that was in the log file, what it was doing. And like 20 people have read the thing but nobody's responded. Where did you post unmixed.org? The support forms should go to the mix Reddit page and post on there. They're much more responsive. They'll tell you that you're doing it wrong, right? Always, always.

That's the default answer on Reddit for anything you ask a question about. Oh well, obviously here's what you're doing wrong. It's like, I thought everything's just supposed to work, man. It it it doesn't. That was intrigued by the fact that fixing of the audio problems on the Mac where windows, the fixes increase the size of your audio buffer so it can handle a little glitches. Right? Yep. So like the answer with the Mac is actually to make the audio buffer smaller because it's who big.

Then the Mac thinks it's not important. So we'll then push it off. And you may have more problems like well that's just counterintuitive. It's got to be right sized right? It's got to be correct. Yeah. Where is the correct and why? No. You know yeah. When you give somebody a very specific you give the community a very specific error and say, well, how do you fix this? And nobody has an answer. Take. Well thanks. Yeah, that's very, dude, I'll give you a trick is you're doing it wrong.

I'll give you a trick to finding answers in your query question that you post, or whatever it is you're trying to find an answer to include the word solved. And that filters out all the nonsense communication about the topic from people that don't have an answer. So generally it is. It is customary. It is etiquette. You once you've solved your problem to then change the title of your original post, edit it and put solved into the title, usually in brackets.

And you know this is standard on Reddit. Standard, a lot, but I'm still like it for an answer. Why would anybody with the answer ever read it? Then? So again, this is internet etiquette. Is that when you've posted a question and then maybe the answer did or it didn't, doesn't matter come from that location. But whatever it is, the proper way to act is to either do a reply back to yourself or edit the actual question with the answer that actually worked at the bottom of it.

But people can stop reading and then change the title to include the word solve. So I'm telling you right now, if you if you limit your search to only whatever your question is with the word solved in as well, you're going to be finding many more answers and reading a lot less junk than if you don't include the word solved. I just couldn't believe that I didn't tell me what the fix is. Yeah, it doesn't know shit. And I actually reads Reddit. That's the problem with I. You're not wrong.

You're not wrong. It is good to know chapters though. It's pretty good at summarizing. And that's the thing. Like, I was just on the call of a bunch of professional advertising people, literally people that are responsible for millions and, well, hundreds of millions worth of ads talking about use of I and frankly, my use of AI for doing music, was one of the more interesting uses of AI.

Most of those people, the only thing they do with AI is they use it to come up with different adjectives and adverbs. Really mostly, you know, you can do it. They use it for summarizing too. That's I think everybody uses it for that. But, you know, no one is doing any kind of fully automated, you know, whiz bang, super duper stuff. Hey, the music is at least interesting. It's I think the music is getting better, too. It's like the current generation, is significantly better sounding.

And I figured out some stuff about, using the, the proper terms, which is very cool. I've been playing around, but I haven't put anything out yet for doing, music without lyrics, but directing it. What to actually do when composing music? Is this your next career? You're going to be a musician. New musical artist with no skills. First of all, I'll have you know, I took ten years of keyboard. So you have skills, you can play keys. I can play the keys. Not very well, but also years.

It's kind of like the college experience that's for you. Yeah, I think I started I started, when I was 11 or 12. I played on, I played on some large church organs back in the day. Oh, you played on some big organs? Yeah. Real big organs. Massive, huge. The biggest. Just terrible. You can't even get an organ that size now. Nope. Not these days, that's for sure. If you seen the pathetic organs they have now. The organs? Yeah, dude, they're very, very that good have.

Yeah. We we are going to make organs great again. Exactly. But it's just, the full organs. Yeah. And, you know, I've got, I've got old school mixers with motors in them to actually move the mixers in on the physical mixer. Wait, no, but nobody does this anymore. But then that was like a fancy thing. Well, yeah. So it could replay, like when you were, playing the music back through on tape. Yeah. Which made sense, because if you were me, you see this?

It's just amazing that this even work back in the day where music was great, back when music was, much better, much more organic, where you see the guy sitting behind the board and making adjustments on the fly. Yeah. What's like, well, how else would you remember that? And so once you finally got it right, that you wanted to bounce that over to the final master, but how would you know?

It's like, yeah, it's all done magically, and then it's just moves like one of those old fashioned plane monorails. Yeah, yeah. And it looks cool. Yeah. It's like, wow, look, he's got a mixing board. Yeah, he's moving the sliders around. Exactly. But no, I think I think it's fun for me. Like, this is the non-gaming activity that is my, my fun activity is, playing with, AI music.

Yeah. Now with the AI music, I know the, service that you're using does not do this out of the box, but there are, you know. Yeah. The, be interesting to pull that into software that would then separate the instrumentation, because then you get full control. So you could pull out the guitar, you could pull out the drum, boom. You can pull out the bass, and then you could remix. Yeah. I mean, yes, there's ways to do that, sort of. If you need some vocals, I can give you some vocals. Man.

I have the buy of the pipes. Yeah. You have, you have pipes. I have the pipes, man. Well, get some work done. Those $3 and 90, I mean back there. Yeah, yeah. So you could, you could do a Jack black basically it sounds like. Oh I could do heavy metal. Elmo. Oh yeah. That is literally Jack black Rock. Oh, I could go the great school of rock. Yeah. But take it. It could be what the show is. He's not doing well that's for sure. Well Jack got himself all worked up.

He did. And again it's just, it's sad when people go that far over the edge. I've said this forever. Is that creative people? People that are musicians, artists, painters, you name it, actors should just proactively stay out of politics. Like don't listen to it, don't care, don't need to react to anything. You don't need to support anything. Just have nothing to do with politics, right?

Just look at cute cat and dog stuff and don't worry about what's going on the rest of the world, because as soon as they do, they always end up tripping on their own feet. Your life is so much better not worrying about that kind of stuff. And it's just when people are then going to point out because they don't know there is ignorant of the world around them, like Selena Gomez. I know she really felt sad when she made her video crying about all the migrants being deported.

Well, who's going to make, her breakfast every morning? She said, yeah, somebody's got to cut the lawn all this time. But when people point to the fact, then, you know, you see Selena Gomez and you're like, well, you do realize that Barack Obama deported more people than Donald Trump, right? Oh, well, why weren't you crying then? I'm just curious if you're so into this, if you are so invested, if you don't know that, it just shows you're a fucking moron or you don't care.

And this again, is just, oh, we want to know what category artistic people fall into. So like, you have your skills, you don't need to get out of your lane to get into politics. It's going to end badly. It always does. You know, but hey, you're making millions of dollars a year. What do you give a shit? True. I don't know why anybody would care. This is why my my rich friends. My actual millionaire friends who are Democrats. You're. Because they don't care. I know they don't care.

But you're a billionaire. And rules are the only rules, do you? It's all in an account. Waiting for you in Moscow. That's right, that's right. I have no access to anything right now. Your Trump's going to go visit Russia, though. It is, is Vlad going to visit here? Because wasn't there one of these things where there's, like arrest warrants out for him for being a, world criminal? I know, yeah, world police criminal. Yeah, I think I think there are. That's correct.

So is he going to come to America? Oh, my God, how horrible. Yeah, yeah, it sounds like it sounds like they're driving. Really hates Vlad. And he's the subject or one of the subjects in his upcoming book about evil. And I go back to a Donald Trump when he was interviewed by O'Reilly and O'Reilly gave him the, I don't remember how long ago this was, but, maybe it probably was one of the Super Bowl interviews in his first term, where O'Reilly's giving them the well, Vlad, he's a killer.

And Trump looks at him. He's like, what do you think we are here? He's like, we have plenty of killers here. And O'Reilly was trying to make the case that Vlad was worse. And it's like, you know, yeah, look, there's tons of people that have Putin derangement syndrome. It's a real thing. It's this baby. Yeah, PDS is a real deal. My dad has it, so I have family members that are suffering with it. Well, it's probably a little different because your dad's Russian, so it's a different O'Reilly.

Oh, I don't know how different that makes it, but. Well, he's a different point of view. What PDS is, is the same thing as TDs, which is an irrational based dislike or fear or whatever you want to call it, of Trump or Putin or somebody else.

Because if you look at, what Putin has done for Russia, he is absolutely, legitimately the most loved Russian politician in the history of the country, or at least, let's say, in the last 300 years of Russia, because most guys that have been, either czars or, presidents have been god awful. Me compare what Putin's done to what Stalin's done. Well, there's a, Stalin. 20 million Russians. Yeah. How many is killed? Yeah, Putin's mostly killed. Ukrainians. It's a good thing.

Well, I mean, I could be totally wrong, but I would feel personally, because I'm not going to bring in marijuana or any other controlled substances, I would feel safer at this point. Yeah. Vacationing in Moscow than I would in Mexico. In Mexico? Yeah, absolutely. That that is absolutely right. And that's not always been the case. You know, you go back 15 years, 20 years, vacationing in Russia was more dangerous. Vacationing in Mexico was less dangerous. So it times change right now.

Russia has the highest percentage of Christians of any civilized country. Is that by design, I mean, it was interesting because that was one of the big things with I think it's a knee jerk reaction. Personally, I think it's the the forced atheism that existed during the 80 years of communism that has led people to almost in a rebellious way, to embrace religion. And but the main religion, they're bracing, obviously, is Christianity. Now, that's not to say there aren't some Muslims in Russia.

There are on the southern parts of Russia. Absolutely. They're Muslims. And then I'm sure that there are even some Buddhists on the far east side of Russia as well. But bone says as a cracker, you can definitely blend in easier in Russia. That that is totally true.

If you watch videos of sort of people on the street walking around there, there are very few Asians and almost no black, and certainly mofo says, Russia is safer than Mexico or Trenton, new Jersey, that I don't know what specifically happened in Trenton, but I, I wouldn't be surprised. And that did you you would want to remind everybody that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are his two favorite news sources.

Or a boomer. Yeah, he says, or to bullshit asshole blowhards, as he says, but I know it means he likes them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you should I I've never liked, Riley. Well, I know that, right? I've never liked Sean Hannity because he always had that sort of, I don't know, guy. But there's something about him that's very smug. Just likable. Yeah, there is, and I've never wanted to talk to him.

Yeah. I mean, it's really, I just, I, I will say O'Reilly, I probably like more than Hannity, but I also just. Yeah, like, he seems like he's a little more rational and a little less just touchy feely. But also O'Reilly. I always still knew in the back of my mind that he's still a Democrat posing as a Republican, because you can't be friends with Jon Stewart without being a Democrat. It's literally impossible. And so he is to, she tries to be honest.

I mean, he might be the only person ever at Fox who really meant the fair and balanced thing. And he has his blind spots, no doubt. But as far as nightly news, I was not and have not been a nightly news watcher for decades. But when the Covid thing hit O'Reilly. So I start watching, and it's a 44 minute broadcast with a few commercials that I skip through. So it's like a 35 minute broadcast four times a week. And that's where I get my news.

Mainly, the only game that I thought was truly fair and balanced was, oh, great. I'm having a senior moment here. I oh, yeah, I was, what says the Larry King, Larry, he was a live because because he really, truly interviewed everybody with a completely blank slate. He's kind of the rogan of his day. He was the he was the Rogan. You're absolutely right. That's a good point. I don't know if anyone's ever said that before, but you're absolutely right. He was the Rogan.

He was the guy that if you went and you got interviewed by him, that could make your career. Yeah. And he listened. I mean, he wasn't an interrupter. He was very as long form as broadcast TV can get. It was good. That was one one. Yeah. And I've always enjoyed listening to him. And, you know, much like Johnny Carson, I think he had like six wives. Hey, over the years. So yeah, he had to work until he is dead. And how many wives for all their money. Yeah. How many wives have you had?

Oh, I was smart enough to stop at one of them. Yeah, I can't afford more than one doing a podcast. I'm just going to start talking over the music. I think.
