Perplexity.AI says: “Strap in, lock and load, and prepare for Unrelenting 146—the no-holds-barred, raw, unfiltered takedown of the week’s biggest stories, delivered with the precision of a SEAL Team raid and the wit of a sniper’s one-liner.

Preemptive Disclaimer: No R-Word Here

I don't want to use the word retarded here. Yet. Let me show you.

Zelensky Touchdown: What Did He Have for Breakfast?

Braking, braking, braking. This is unrelenting. We have, Zelensky in the country. What is going on? I am down on the hill. He is jetting off to live. We will break it down for you in every last minute detail. Do we know when Zelensky got in? What did he have for breakfast? Did he drink coffee? Jim, over to Eugene. Are you.

Trump's Stand-Up Routine and the Putin Skip

Are you on the ground? I'm not on that ground, that's for sure. Let the people really excited. I watched the, Trump, stand up routine with, here last night and, Yeah, it's it's interesting. He avoided every question about Putin. Did you see that? No, but I it doesn't surprise me because. Yeah, because the reporters are typical. Right. So they're like so when Zelensky arrives,

are you going to apologize to him for calling him a dictator? No. And you've been friendly with a regional dictator like Putin? No, they don't say Putin. They say Putin. Putin with disdain, Putin with, Putin and yeah, Trump just skipped just like that. They don't understand diplomacy or they do. And they want to just push their narrative.

Because when you're dealing with anybody, see that if I'm dealing with Jean and I'm like, I'm trying to get the best deal I can out of you, I don't, I don't insult you.

Diplomacy 101: Compliment Before You Conquer

Disparage me right? I'm like, hey, Jean, you're looking good. You better lose in some way, buddy. Man. Wow. You notice the half a pound there? I love the way you've been running that country of yours, man. With the, you know, the press, the people. They just don't understand international diplomacy. They really. They really don't. And they're such morons. They don't understand that. Just simple things that they also don't understand. And this shows you that Zelensky has zero power.

Oh, never did. And he's going to disappear shortly. So he is he's playing his part in this play and he's doing it very well. And he'll probably be handsomely rewarded. He'll be one of those oligarchs that's going to buy the $5 million gold card. Oh yeah. Exactly. That's exactly right. He'll probably even give this kind of the, the, that's part of the deal. He gets the gold card thrown in. That's mostly why he's here to negotiate his gold card.

Zelensky is real, and he's a in a Trump Tower somewhere. Owns 18 properties in the United States right now, including a very nice compound in Florida that's, rumored to be worth about $15 million. So he even has a, like I said, maybe a penthouse in the one of the Trump Towers now. Well, me, me, but, but yeah, the Florida house is very nice.

Zelensky’s Retirement Plan: The Golden Exit

But how many times have you visited? I've never visited, but I've got drone footage. Oh, well, that's got a direct from Vlad. That's right here. Yeah. But I mean I mean you're going to get some random like little liquid death in the morning. I already took my B12. Right. That's for you. So I sent you an article about it. About what liquid death will kill you most. Everything will kill me. Well, but you and others, you will tell me that coffee will kill me. Oh, coffee will kill you.

This caffeine is bad. No. Just coffee. I still contend that, well, that the EU is saying caffeine, which is warm. Caffeine is recommended. The, you know, liquid death compared to popping a mountain dew, like, a hundred times more healthy, I believe. Oh, yeah. Mountain Dew for sure. So what are you talking about? So your B12, you were going to take your B12 very quickly. Oh right. Key is probably got multiple properties, huge properties, beautiful properties.

It's going to be a different kind of show because, the freedom loving state coconut water right now instead of iced tea. Oh you get a special that did your delivery accidentally bring you 14 gallons of coconut water. Have I got some yesterday with a meal delivery and, it I it was the wrong brands. It's not the coconut water that I like. Oh, this is the pan type coconut water that doesn't avail a cocoa coconut water, which tastes like shit. Yeah, you know what? You're correct about that.

We bought a case of that at Costco about three years ago and was like, yeah, that all coconut water is creamy. It's basically coconut flavored. Water is what it tastes like. It is great for hydrating. The water has a little bit of coconut in it and taste awesome.

Liquid Death and the Coconut Water Wars

You want to get the better coconut, which is your preferred mango? Yeah, the Mexican, the Mexicans do. Coconut comes in a white colored steel can, so you can use it as a weapon. Also, when you're done well, you can't crush it, that's for sure. Damn thing is hurt. It's actually made out of real metal that, unlike actual steel, these water bottles now.

Yeah, that I'm not even sure how physically the bottles hold up until you drink the whole thing without just disintegrating because they're, less than paper thin at this point. They're super thin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so annoying. You can't use them for podcasting. And they're basically they're basically water balloons. Yeah. And they crackle. And the only thing holding them up is the water. Once the water's gone, the bottle wants to just disintegrate.

So I sent you a, a picture of YouTube comments yesterday. Even a lot of people being nice to you. What's that all about? Yeah. What's that all about exactly? Is that, you know, I'm finally getting some respect the way it deserve on YouTube. That's the respect which I get from my co-host on my podcast. So you only you singularity to that though yesterday when you said co-host and I was going to be like, you mean co-host up your sleeve. Oh, like you give me respect. Oh all the time.

Oh yeah. All the time. All the time you came out. I'm going to read some of these just to, prove that people like. Well, I do. So here's the first comment. This is on the video from yesterday. So I clicked this to come and make some snarky comments that, that, that I apologize that that that this video has been incredibly informative. Plus one sub. My dude, that's a typical comment I get. I don't understand this comment literally in a row.

Absolutely the best video out there could not live without mine. I totally changed the game for me. Great timing too is I needed something Eddie related to watch. What does that stand for? Erectile dysfunction.

YouTube Stardom: Gene Reads His Fan Mail

I quit for you make jokes like we have got dangerous to gene. I was like, this is. I've. Obviously Gene found his body content. Obviously. What are you talking about? But you play video games. Does your dick not work? Watch this channel now. Or all of your next one. Problems. Real mice died, I played toys and blah blah blah blah. It was. This was a good refresher. Next one good guide. Been looking for something like this. I'm curious for a while now. Thank you. Next one and amazing vid.

Dude, I love your details. It's just like, you know, this is this is my normal interaction with humans, unlike, you and the men. But I'm curious, how much did you have to pay for these comments? Which service did you use over in? Was it an Indian company? I Chinese are totally not. I written reviews, and you can tell because they don't say I bought this video for my husband. He loves it. It was great. It was great. Yeah, it fulfilled all of our needs. A The Amazon reviews are freaking hilarious.

We no longer have any problems at all. Nice. He loves it so much he will be buying another video. I mean, watching another video to your amazed that people comment on YouTube, but it is not at all amazed. I'm seeing this all the time I just started. I would remind you guys that you're dealing with greatness here. I just think it's interesting that you two media barely star, so keep that in mind that YouTube somehow.

Well, that that says he does really respect your opinion on ponchos and truck simulator. So I mean you are okay. Well that's something you got your niche. I mean you're working on more, but it's amazing that there is such a community on YouTube. And it's not just your videos, it's bad stuff for the audio for, you know, the random Lego guy. There's rarely will you find videos even with very few watches or very few subscribers, you'll still find a bunch of comments on videos.

And it's kind of wild because we encourage comments. It's going to get better. I'll tell you one thing I just noticed. I'm not sure what they they release this, but it's fairly new to YouTube. They just added a new, community feature. So you've always been able to post little text messages or images on YouTube. As a content person, on your channel. So you don't just have to post videos, you can post, you know, pictures or little messages. They just out of the feature that you can enable.

It's off by default for every channel, but you can turn on that allows then people to start communicating with each other. So they're trying to turn YouTube into more of an X type experience. And I understand why. Because X is doing well no matter what the people on the blue cries want to tell you, you love ruined it. He lost his audience. You ruined it. Yeah. I mean, X is more active than ever.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly think otherwise, but it is bizarre how it seems like people think it is a community on YouTube, and half the time there are some creators really good at it. Usually those are the ones that are, not making anything more than a few bucks. The ones that do it for fun, like band drew and way more interactive. You know, the people, once they're making these six figures it up, they just don't even have time to respond to the amount of comments coming in.

Oh no, no no no, I respond. Not only do I respond, I usually respond within about five minutes. Somebody's posting, well, let's you sleeping wake. You are the only reminders on my phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's an eight reminders on my phone that actually pops up. I will reply immediately. They're actually Jean has a new podcast he used. Yeah, I'm about to and I'll probably do it on sir Jean speak.

AI vs. AI: The Future of Pointless Conversations

But yeah, but see, this is it. He's created two different sur jean eyes and they just talk to each other 24 over seven. So you have to get the live stream. It never stops. They never have to stop to eat. They never have to stop to picture non stop. Serge. You guys going back and forth with each other. Wouldn't that be genius? Well yes absolutely. The more fake you can get the better.

Well I you know when I did that, I, I posted that little clip, I posted a few clips, grok when they added the voice to Greg, it really added an interesting dimension to it because, you can finally now get grok. That is, more lifelike, let's say, than what you would expect. And I yesterday I posted a little video. All right. I can't remember if I just sent you or if I posted it on next, but basically I got it. Probably both. Yeah, exactly.

But it was basically it was like, is that you talking to it because you just all, you know, this thing was like going on and on and on and all of a sudden every now and then I'd hear, what do you think of it is like, is that Gene talking to the AI? Who's that? An AI talking to an AI? That's the I thought there was two different eyes and two different iPads so I can see each other. This is the future of electricity wasting. I didn't have to do a damn thing.

I could just let them talk to each other. They're very good at, you know, talking. So I had the, the grok with a chick voice, and they had the Microsoft one with the male voice and, they just had fun. It's the future of what you thought the, they thought the. I was gonna say people you thought YouTube and podcast and, these kind of things were filled with AI garbage now. Yeah, yeah. You wait. Oh, like, I think I think podcasting is going to quadruple in size.

Once I spoken, the content starts to come in there. It's very, interesting really. But again, I does not think I always have to point that out, and I did I did, on my latest episode of Random Thoughts, which is almost as good as surging Speaks. But it was I was intrigued, more frequently these this is true that comes out about every week researching speaks

once a millennia or so. Now, it's been a while, but there was a question about a bakery that has been in the area here for a long time, and I'm like, well, what? How long have they been around? So I did the thing. I went to the internet and I found the bakery's website because almost everybody that's been around was in like two years or have like we've been serving the area since, right, right, or nothing on their website and like, well, how long have they been around?

So I went and I asked perplexity, how long has this bakery been in this city?

Do Podcast Chapters Even Matter?

And it came back. I can't tell you. I can't find it, I okay. I was like, wow, okay. So I went to the other I and I put something in and it gave me an answer. And then I looked at how I had phrased it, and I went back to perplexity. Okay. And said, when did this bakery in this city open ended? Immediately he gave me the answer. I'm like, see? It cannot think. It does not even understand the basics that the question. It didn't understand that.

Another way to find the answer I was looking for how long is it been here, would be to find out when it opened and do the math well, when it opened. To be fair, it could also indicate a time in the morning in the morning, but it was a date in 1977. So I mean, that shows up, you know, it's yeah, it's it's not 24 hours. This is. No. When did how long, how long has this, the framing of the question, how long is this bakery been around?

It couldn't glean the answer by going, well, how would I figure this out? Maybe I should look for a date that it says it opened it. So it's an interesting thing. I mean, it's great at looking for patterns, as you and I keep repeating, because it's the chapter making machine when it gets the time of that. Yeah. And sometimes it's still summarizing too. Yes.

Oh, and it does great that I mean it's I just have so much fun where I do the paragraphs to describe the show and random thoughts for this show. I normally tell it to do it in a Richard Marchenko style. Okay. Which is how you get the idea. Mag. It's, good. Listen up. Right. And, for random thoughts, the last couple I used a P.T. Barnum style. So you get the, you get a little bit more of that circus flavor to it. A little, that style, promotion. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen.

So you can do a lot, man, a lot of things like that. And it's able to do things in a style. So rather than just a boring paragraph that says, well, an unrelenting they talked about this, right? You can get that in a style that is a lot more interesting. Yeah. I've been thinking of just using, your summaries on my show, too, is, you know, people don't really care. Nobody really pays any attention. Not really. Oh, there's a blurb on this thing. Yeah, let's check it out. There's the blurb.

Have anything to do with the podcast?

Monetization Woes: Gene’s Get-Rich-Slow Plan

And that was it. My other question besides our buddy from Poland. Yeah. I don't know if anybody cares about transcripts. I don't know if anybody cares about chapters. I don't know if anybody cares about any of us. Start. That's it. One guy, just him. Beyond that, not really sure, but I'm. Yeah, I that I never listen to podcasts in that way. I would never go and open up a search. Gene speaks and look for a five minute segment that interests me and then ignore the rest of the show.

It's like you either listen to the show or you don't. Yeah, unless it's specifically a news program. Now, if it was something like Angry Tech News, you know, that Rose is doing, and I was only interested in yeah, you know, in Nvidia. But he's not still doing that is he. You know him that and surging speaks. You're kind of on the same schedule as hiatus extended hiatus extended temporary hiatus. And people ask why. You know you know Grumpy Old band isn't coming back. We did a Christmas episode.

Well nobody donates at all. No I mean yeah. Literally every time you say things like that people go Jesus this, he only do this for the money. Yes. It sucks. Of course I do. I only do it for the money. You think my, my whole day is like wow, I love entertaining everybody. I should get nothing for it. I turned off all the ads on YouTube. Well, you are a interesting fellow. I don't like ads. I'm like, fuck it.

I'd rather have people watch me and leave me nice comments and have ads until you get five. But this is why you're getting the nice comments until you have 5 billion views that only videos with no ads right in. Know genes like I'm monetizing these motherfuckers. You watch me hoping I was wrong. 25 minutes ago I CSB 3959. That must be $3 in knew how, Bitcoin has crashed. I've been watching that. I really haven't crashed. I think it's a buck a buck a bitcoin.

Now I know this is I really kind of wish I didn't have it on my stream deck. On how much my bitcoin is worth at this particular juncture. Yeah, it's like three weeks ago. Four weeks ago I was like, yeah, it's funny you say that. I actually took it off my stream deck. I think I have to as well. It's like, just don't pay any attention to it. No, it's the it's the boomer thing to do. I'd make fun of my dad, which is probably mean because he's in his 80s, but he likes to go into his oh account.

You know what? There's two stocks in there, 401 K's and all that. And like, daily look. And I'm like, why are you looking daily. Yeah. Like what I, I yeah, maybe I'm the same age as your dad, but I, I have my stocks on my, stream deck. Yeah. And you're like, I don't want to be it anymore. I want them updated real time. Now, the, Bitcoin they took off because that was going in the wrong direction. But the, plus, I mean, it's sort of like

Bitcoin Blues: Watching Numbers Fall in Real-Time

I'm never selling that shit. The whatever Bitcoin I have is there until it's worth, one coins a million. So I don't make it a daily. Yeah, I'm just waiting. It's either going to be never or someday. That's the two options, right. Which is what you have to deal with. That kind of, Yeah, I, I agree with you on the crypto. It's not something that I see is a lot of people tell you it's a store of value. No, it is gambling 100% is still gambling. Yeah. And you can't give.

I tell you Tesla took a dump, too. I think there's there's a lot of hate for Musk because, my, 100% per year increase in Tesla's stock price has just been washed away in large extent. Well, I mean, that's because Elon does not, he does not resonate with these psychotic leftists who are very, very loud on YouTube, clearly, which is what it comes down to it. In that category. He not resonate with me. My cotton gin, he's like, you didn't record GB for months? Of course no one donated.

I mean, to be fair, there's a few $5 that come in every month still for, grumpy old Benz. I mean, overall, I mean for Grumpy old Ben's. I mean, for this show, I mean for random thoughts, I mean for Planet Rage, I mean for the rock n roll. Pre-show donations are in the shitter here. Makes sense. Like, who has money to donate through you? If you do the math on no agenda.

I mean, I understand they like to pull out the, sad puppy a lot, but I you can do the math and hear that they are down quite a bit as well. Do Christian people need as much money, though? It depends how big the houses are. I, I just, I, I keep thinking that, you know, once you're like re-energized and Christ that your life mission is to give all your money away and that really spend money. I don't know give. I don't know, man. I just people that need it.

Yeah. I, I just feel like, I shouldn't expect others to pay for things. I don't pay for. Rich. What do you pay for? I mean, you gave Tim Poole how much money I gave him. Way too much money. You should be content. It should be paid for all the content. Yeah, no, I but I but I stopped paying for Tim Poole. I mean, I canceled my, subscription finally, because I don't I don't really want to meet him. Where, he's not doing too much. You do your own stuff there.

You took care of your EV problem on your own. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. No more temple needed the beanie set issues over the the thing. Well, temple was interesting in the, four years of Biden because, because temple was that centrist guy who would have been perceived as left of center during Trump's first term. But he kind of became, by a de facto right of center by the center moving leftward. And so Musk is the same in a lot of ways. But, you know, temple had a show Musk didn't back then.

Eggflation: The $10 Dozen Egg Conundrum

He was actually busy running companies that doing shows and doing important things. Important work for important. You trying to make my stock price go up for Tesla. And it did briefly. It did. It did well but not a lot more than briefly. This Tesla is one of the best performing stocks ever. How about Nvidia. How does it compare to Nvidia? Nvidia is at 122 right now. I reckon that one two we're tracking them down. I bought it when it was 36.

Went down in the air yesterday and now it's slowly inching back up. I need a video to hit 149 to they do that. I'm out of the Nvidia net net says he's got his note on the way. And that way he'll be able to support the shows that he likes. While the notes. I was so, annoyed yesterday. When you say no, the you talk to him about that expensive piece of hardware that's going to suck electricity out of your wall. Exactly.

By expensive you mean like a couple hundred bucks because it's a Raspberry Pi with, additional drive? Yeah. You're right, it's a no, not a minor. I thought it was a minor, but, yeah, that's just the note. So it's mainly for the the electricity. Very little. I mean, it's still going to suck some electricity, though. Yeah, but I, I got a suggestion for him. He should get Daron to run his node. No, I don't want to run anybody's nodes. That doesn't want you.

Yeah. Darren's the node guy. Yeah. Can hook you up. I got Gene's, Satoshi's on there. I got Larry Satoshi's, I got Ambrose. Satoshi. That's enough. That is enough that I updated the way you can split these down. Maybe there's another way to do it. But the easiest was with the Alby wallet, which would be, which they open sourced when they went to. Hey, we're going to charge you to use Alby Cloud, but, hey, open source. That'll be wallet. I'll be hub. I'm sorry. That'll be hub with the LP.

Well, you can do also. It's open source. It's going to be great. And then they updated the LP hub, so I updated it. And now the first thing you got when you opened up the interface was scribe. Right. Finish setting up your hub. And it was like step one, two, three, four. Everything that was done and fully running. Step five donate to Alby. Set up a recurring donation to Alby. Yeah, I'm like, fuck you. That's not open source.

Requiring somebody and saying you're not fully set up and putting up a big fucking thing, saying you're not set up until you do that. Fuck you. That's kind of a screw deal. Yeah, it's not value for value, you know, value for value, the way to do it. And I'm every show we say, hey, if you want to support the show, here's how you do it. So I have no problems. The whole show. You do that right. So sometimes it works. Most of the time it does it.

The thing that they could have done was just put up a little banner which says, hey, value for value. If you find what you're using here, if you have value consider supporting us. Not a one time or monthly basis. Okay, so I get interrupted here. I, I think this is the most expensive Edgardo I've ever had. Oh my God, what are eggs up to in Austin? I know ours here with 36. Wow. Hours were down. This is for an 18 count. This is an 18 count, not a 12 count or whatever.

Ours were 1099 for two dozen, the last that I looked. So that was cheap. The five bucks, basically. Yeah. So this is an 18 count for 1536. So that's that is ten bucks a dozen, I guess. Right. No, a little less. Yeah. It's 1536 for eight words for 18 eggs. Yeah. So it's about a buck apiece. Well, it is $10 a dozen right about there. Yeah we do right about there is exactly ten bucks. It doesn't. Yeah. It's not exactly. Oh no it's not. Yeah. Right. Because there's $0.39 for $0.36.

So yeah. So it's it is just over ten bucks. It doesn't. You are in the ballpark though. You get good eggs, you get the best eggs. That's what they're brown which I have to pay extra for. You've racist. You don't like the white eggs. Hey, man, there's fewer brown eggs now, I've. No, I've noticed that when they went through the first phase, the white eggs turned brown for like a month that our grocery store was selling as the gray day. Whatever. Yeah. And then they turn back to the white eggs.

I was intrigued by that, but the pricing is just insane. And it's because of the insanity that, No, no, these bird flu.

Trump's Millionaire Visa: America’s New Fast Pass

We better kill all the birds. That is insanity. And I, I posted, reports that I didn't think about that. Where the guy on the video, it's, a video. Then I asked a legitimate question. Reasonable question. My opinion, which is when when people get sick, they will develop an immunity after they are no longer sick. Right? If they don't die, if they don't die. And, most diseases with the exceptions of things like Ebola have a fairly low percentage chance of killing you.

Bird flu has a higher than flu rate, cancer killing birds, but it's still not 100% death rate by any stretch. Far from it. But rather than letting birds develop an immunity to bird flu, they and their offspring don't get it. Instead of doing that, we just kill all the birds so that it guarantees that birds will always develop bird flu. How does that make sense?

It does not, because I'm just looking here at the, online shopping for Maya and I. Their brand was always the best one that we normally would buy. The two dozen great a large eggs that is currently 1199, but you can get, although they're showing it as out of stock, which would make sense. The egg lens best brand large eggs 24 pound. Just says classic eggs. It says vegetarian fed.

So I don't know really any different than what the Meyer one would be $8.09 for two dozen which I get why they're sold out. That's crazy cheap. Yeah, yeah, like gold. Be like, go and buy it. It's like. I mean, everybody knows eggs are at least a buck apiece. I'm going to go flip them. Now. You gotta go flip those eggs. Dude. The videos that Virginia legislator dude let's put out on eggs have been hilarious. You know what I'm talking about, right?

He's got a podcast, but he's in the Virginia legislature. I mean, I they're a bearded dude. No. Oh. Send you some movies? They're really good. They're cage free. Dozens are 549 for that brand. Okay, that which is crazy cheap is I buy, organic cage free or free roam vegetarian fed chickens. If I in the all the b.s., I get it. No, I don't know this this better they do that. They totally taste better.

I see here I'm going to go back with the GM thing, because I saw a guy at A2 that showed it didn't taste any better. So I believe the YouTube you saw a guy was a guy on YouTube, when he bought all the different levels of the carton comes the little card that is personally autographed by the Chevy Chicken. Yeah. Thank you for, like, my egg. Tell you, like, you get to know the chicken that laid your egg that you're going to eat until it becomes your rotisserie bird for the evening.

No, they don't taste good. They. The chickens that we have for laying eggs are not the same chickens that we have for eating, and that's a shame. You know, much comes to shove, you can totally eat it, but that's not going to be, it's not going to be the the best flavor chicken. When push comes to shove, you can pretty much eat anything. You pretty much. Yeah. At least get your eggs order in, but I. What? I'm making the omelets and stuff. I'm like, oh my God.

So this is the funny thing because it used to be things like coffee were really expensive. So today I'm making a, six egg omelet. Split it with the wife. Yep. Yeah. You really need six eggs for her. What. Why split it. So three and so basically half. You're only getting three eggs. That's crazy. Well, then I also had a, Thomas bagel. Onion bagel with some cream in front of an eagle. I know, but it was cheap. And I don't have a bagel guy in New York.

I could get you hooked up with a bagel guy in New York. I don't need to be hooked up with the bagel guy. I just need you to send me a dozen bagels. And that's, the way as well. Or you could have the New York. I send you a dozen bagels. That's what I do. Well, just give me your gold card, and I'll send whatever they can. Sir. Bill, he's. I just say just selling gold cards now. Never truly have a kind of $5 million. You get in, you get out a million. Great deal. It's, genius.

It comes with the cost, though. If you, I, I love it. This is such a brilliant concept. We gotta talk about it more that Trump took something that was basically a policy of letting prisoners out of every country in Central America and Latin America. They're letting their prisoners out to go to the United States. Well, yeah, because you don't wait for them. You're bad for us because they cost money.

Them bad for us. Yeah. It's well, it's like the if the United States had a, you know, take everybody on death row and be like, well, we're just gonna put you on a fucking cargo plane and drop you off somewhere. Why not? China, right. If you look back at their problem. Right. Exactly. And Trump just flipped it and said, he said no, no, no no no no more prisoners. Only millionaires can come to the US. Even oligarchs. I mean, it's such a great well and I love the fact that somebody asked them that.

I know that, and, does that mean that, Russian oligarchs can come in and Trump's like, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, there's some there's some really nice oligarchs and they'd love to come here.

Elon’s H-1B Hack: Let Them Buy Their Way In

They know some. Yeah. Right. There was kind of like there's nice oligarchs on both sides. Trustee. Right. Brilliant. Yes, it really is. And it makes sense when now. I don't know the demographics. I don't know the numbers that are out there. But Donald Trump said he believed if this offer goes through and he said the white House lawyers. Okay, but I'm thinking there's still another step. It's going to have to go through to be approved.

But if it is, Donald Trump postulated that there would be a million people willing to pay the 5 million. Yeah. Is that a legitimate number if you take a zero away? Probably. Yeah. If you take a zero away, that's there's a big difference in paying down the debt between you know, what would it be. Five. Would that be 5 trillion, a million, a million millions, a million, five millions. So that would be a pretty good way to pay down the debt.

Yeah. Whether or not if they're, it doesn't matter for me how many of those people there are. I understand the concept. If somebody's willing to pay $5 million to get the fast track, it's basically paying for the fucking fast pass to Disneyworld. This is all. That's exactly what it is. Yeah, this is exactly they could get in. Otherwise it would just end. And it's a it's not per person, it's per family. So this is like Disneyworld.

That was even better than Disneyworld because they probably charge a per person. They probably would. Yeah. Yeah. You think about again, it's a good idea. And there's been a cheaper variant of this for many, many years in the US as there has been in every country. I remember at one point in time, thinking about doing this with New Zealand and moving my ass out there, and New Zealand has to deal. What just your ass? Not the rest of you. Just my ass. Yeah, that's all I care for it.

But New Zealand had a policy where if you deposit $100,000 into a New Zealand bank, then you're on the fast tracked citizenship. Well that's cheap. Yeah, I thought so. I may be more now. I don't know, but if they're smart, they bring that back. Then that was like, yeah, that's all you got to do it. Just as if, if you can demonstrate that you're capable of depositing $100,000 in assets, you are on the fast track to New Zealand to this be a Kiwi.

Yeah. I, I thought about it moving down there pretty seriously because New Zealand a very interesting island. It it's a smaller place obviously in Australia but in a lot of ways a much better place in Australia because it has all four seasons. It's not just a bunch of desert. It, it, it is a their seasons are upside down and backwards, but other than that, they speak English free. They do speak English, but a very English. They pronounce their e's slightly differently than we do.

But it's a, it's pretty neat place. It's actually where non prisoners from Britain went to. Whereas of course Australia, as everybody knows, was a penal colony and it's still was if you ask me. They have a lot of any they may I do play with some Australians though in in the danger. So you know, I know they for sure have somebody down there. People are looking that up right now. So like, what was it. What's, what's he talking about?

But it makes sense that you want people to move into the United States.

Trump at Daytona: The Beast Takes a Victory Lap

We know that having immigration is a good thing. And as you and I have discussed on this show for the last four years, the main problem is people coming into this country who cannot afford to take care of themselves. Exactly. The problem is not and never has been immigration. The problem is immigration of people with no skills and little work capability. So it makes perfect sense to be like, hey, you want to invest 5 million in this country that you in?

It's not even guaranteed citizenship since it's like, okay, I will you I will bet you right now that there are probably I don't think there's 100,000, but I'll bet you there's way more than 10,000 people in India right now that we'll do this. We'll see. That would make sense. And it's the world's most populous country.

And there are a lot of people that have started tech companies in India and getting to 5 million, while it's certainly more difficult than India, isn't all that hard for a company to do so, you know, all they got to do is just sell their Indian company and move to the US. So basically, I think you need people that, are going to at least have a couple of million left over after the 5 million when they walk in the door. Oh, he didn't say anything about that.

No, I understand because otherwise you just bring in a whole different crew of a broken. No, no, no, they're going to be unemployed when they get here, but they're going to pay 5 million to get them right. And then we're going to deport them motherfuckers when they don't just say, that's all bad, that's even a better system. But I paid $5 million. He read the fine print. Yeah. The only guarantee to see the Gitmo with us.

This is a good way for Elon to get his H-1b people in because the H-1b visas typically make about 250,000 a year. So it's not going to take them long to get to 5 million. Now. It makes sense. It makes perfect sense. Bring people in that can fend for themselves selves. You know, and I would take, you know, maybe part of this should be, you know, your housing, you have, you have some great Trump Towers.

Maybe you could give them a nice apartment to the Trump Tower for the first year to guarantee, you know, their, their living situation is taken care of. You could just add you could have an up to the $5 million. Oh, sure. Like, would you like the Trump Tower add on? That's another million. We will give you a place to live. We'll even give you a coupon for DoorDash so you can have your food delivered right to your door. A drop to start. Like NASCAR. He just starts taking sponsorships.

Yeah, he wasn't yet NASCAR. Didn't he race or something? He went to the Daytona 500. Was there? Yeah. Hit the, the beast went out on the track to lead the cars around. That was beautiful. With him in it. Yeah. Waving to the window. Him and his granddaughter in the, That's perfect. The photograph from inside. That was the first time I really. I never really thought about it, but it makes sense because, you know. Yeah. This car is basically a tank. This is not. Oh, yeah.

It's a weird thing. A car that had the armament added to it. This was built, right? Yeah. And you noticed from the inside the windows looked like airplane windows. You could tell that they were, they were they were not your typical car windows that he was waving out of, but the NASCAR fans loved. I guess the, there's video of this. Not that wasn't, during the broadcast, but the, if you've ever seen the Daytona Superspeedway, it is literally next door to a Army Air Force base,

Joe Biden’s Four-Year Hide-and-Seek Champion Run

which is where the beast and, Air Force One landed. And Air Force One did a flyover. So instead of just going right in and landing. Well, that's a that's a typical Trump thing, dude. Oh yeah. That when we went to see him on his first stop on this campaign tour in Texas, he did the same thing with Trump Force. One plane flies over. Does the whole woohoo America. Yep. Yeah. Wave its wings left and right. Yeah, it was a beautiful thing. And the NASCAR fans love it and love it. Yeah. Rightfully so.

Where was Joe Biden for four years? He wasn't at the Daytona 500 basement hiding like then he had drugs being pumped into his system. It's just keep him alive. Keep him alive. Certainly. Yeah. Antifreeze. Getting pumped in there. We need him alive just long enough. Yeah, yeah, I will. Probably won't even know when he dies. We'll just hear that he died in the past at some point. Like Gene Hackman. Kind of too soon for that. Top of that, I don't know. I mean, we didn't even talk about him.

And he died. The, oddity there was all of the news coverage immediately. Yeah. Was no signs of foul play, no signs of foul play, no signs of foul play. Like 15 minutes later. Oh, shit. There might be foul play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't believe anything you hear or see. That one I think was one of the most underrated actors out there. Yeah. Great comic timing. Yeah. He had a career that's hard to beat. Well what do you mean. What length of the career.

He played a variety of different roles. He was always stellar leading man. You know he's always like a supporting guy. He was the leading man in like hunt for Red October. Oh no. He was definitely not the leading man. You used the main guy in hunt for Red October. Did you watch the movie at all? I don't remember, it was a long time ago. He's like, okay, here's the thing. He's the only one I remember from, hunt for Red October.

He was literally a minor character from throughout his last, his last movie was called Welcome to Mooseport from 2004. So it's been a while. It's been a while. Yeah, it has been a while. Where did we, It's been a while for everything. If you noticed that. Yeah, I'm getting old. I don't like it. That's right up to me. No today was the. Yeah that was the story I was getting around to.

So the I was in and this in the morning I really should take the B12 immediately on waking up because it's a it's like a circus when I'm trying to do breakfast because it's like, okay, let's get the eggs in the pan, doing the omelet. You got to get some bacon or sausage in the air fryer. If you're doing that, you're putting the bagels or the, bread into the toaster for that to get toasted. Then you want some fresh coffee.

So I'm filling up the coffee pot drip with water, and then I'm like, I want to do the grinding of the beans. And today was the first day that, I learned that the container does not have to be under the grinder for the grinder to work. Yeah. So so there was there were coffee grounds all the way down. You got a grinder that dumped stuff out instead of keeping it in? Well, it would go into a little plastic cup if I had put the cup underneath,

Gene Hackman’s Exit: No Foul Play... Or Maybe?

and locked it in place before starting the grinder, which is what you're supposed to do. But this was the first time I made, the coffee grounds without, without tampering with the coffee grounds. I thought you had a K-Cup. No, we haven't been using that. Oh, we got, some whole big Costa coffee. Yeah, the old Mr. Coffee tried and true. I'm going to upgrade this at some point here to maybe a button machine or something like that, but this is the Mr. Coffee, so we're doing the grinding.

But to be fair, with the K-Cups, I can remember three times where I forgot to put the Cup underneath the underneath the, spigot. So when the, coffee came out, it went right into, right into the bottom of the machine, which, luckily there's a big enough reservoir in. And let me just say now, fuck you, cotton gin. I'm not upgrading to a French press. I have one, but those are such a pain in the ass. I know they make great coffee. Yeah, if I really wanted to stroke myself.

Yeah. I don't know why you don't just get a nice Italian espresso machine. Right? Because they're like $8,000 a three and a half. So the fact that you are well aware of the pricing on this stuff, how many do you have, Jean? And how many fell off to the same one for ages. For years with the mirror that still wears the mirror. Is the full size mirror still sitting in the front of the house? It is. Yes, it's still in the back. We can't do it. This is how bad this fucking show is.

We can't even give away things. I know it's like ponchos and full size mirrors and these people like. But, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but the day I told you the deal with the espresso machine is that, when I first moved in here, that was one of my first purchases for the house. And to have a drinking water. Well, that was much later. I stopped drinking coffee, but when Adam came over, I was like, this is really good.

And then, like, a month or two later, I was at his house and I'm like, oh, I see you bought these. He bought the exact same machine I had. You're like, you could have had mine. I stopped using it the minute you started using. No, no, I used it for years. I didn't stop using it. I'm still using it. I'm just using it for hot tea. Now. An espresso machine. How does that use it? Does it? Well, it also is capable of generating hot water. Oh, there is a brand new.

And I'm totally useless for even the sakes. I don't remember the brand, but somebody just came out with a new drip coffee machine that's supposed to be, like, completely programable as far as the exact temperature is the exact amount of pressure, and it was like 400 bucks. And I'm like, I don't know. I mean, it's when it all comes down to it, it's just coffee or just get a French press. You really like the French press don't you. Got it. I gotta get, I gotta get a French girl to actually that.

I like the Italian press more than the French press. But which one? Italian press. Oh, the Italian press. Yeah. That you get an Italian girl to press your coffee instead of, like. Yeah, with her thighs. That's what's really the only way to get the proper extraction of beans.

Breakfast Chaos: When the Coffee Grinder Revolts

Yeah, yeah, just thinking about the quality of coffee. I guess he just likes those French girls. Yeah, and I understand. I have, two French presses that I got back in the day to do. Back when Amazon. I loved when Amazon when I could just get free shit all day, every day. Yeah. Yeah. No not anymore. They had to ruin that. But I did get a couple of French presses and they do a really nice job. If you have the time to spend I've got a emergency air tank coming. Whoa whoa whoa.

Emergency air tank oxygen. You have an O2 problem? It's a unique problem. This is a product that I'm going to be testing. But it's a it's. You know, you may occasionally run into situations where the air around you is not breathable, in which case you need to have emergency air supply tap into so you can keep breathing. I have always heard that it's very important to have emergency air supply. Glenn Beck, I think tells us exactly. There you go with it right there.

Emergency food supply that's in your basement. Yeah, but you don't have a basement. I've got I've got a year's worth of water. I've got, you know, 18 years worth of food I got, I got way more packages than I'll ever need. And no, I still haven't found a homeless guy to give one to before I get asked. See? Listen, let's see here. That's hard. In in Austin. How do you not find a homeless? It's not. Dude, you know Austin has changed. I mean, now that trumps here.

We got, like, American flags everywhere. No homeless people. It's crazy. The NASCAR people are in town right now. Are they. Yeah. This is over at Cota this weekend. And I looked it up I can go I mean granted I'm sure different times of year are different than getting a the Amtrak bedroom. Back and forth to Austin. It's like a thousand bucks each way which isn't bad. Whoa a thousand bucks. Holy shit. Yeah. But that's two people cheaper. You could. Oh that's two people. Okay, okay.

So it's basically a thousand bucks round trip per person. Correct. And that's including food. Basically. First class flight, right? I mean, I'm sure it's not great, but you got your meals as well that's included so that.

Yeah, that's that goes out from Chicago through Kansas City and then all the way down here to Austin, the Texas, the, the I've never taken it, but I've had a friend that that routinely takes the train from Austin to Dallas because his mom lives in Dallas, and I guess he figured out he didn't want a driver. He could just sleep on the train or whatever. But he takes the train up there, and he he likes it. That's pretty regularly. It that's it. I mean, one you can get it for.

I think it was 150 to 200 for just a seat on the train. So that would be about 100 and 300 to 400 for two. It's like, okay, now you might as well have the whole train experience and get a private car. Right. Well, and then you can actually well, the wife might be able to sleep. I, I don't think any of these things have a bed longer than six foot and I'm 66, so that's always the I guess they're totally longer than six feet. I've been on the train.

You got to go, and, you know, just sleep sideways. Or maybe in the fetal position. I mean, just tight rope yourself in and and hope that, for the best, they're more than six feet. Dude, they're they're at least seven. I don't think they are the bad. They think they're guaranteed guarantee of the gene. Guarantee everybody, it's time to start doing. It's time for the fact checking to begin for first, let's go to trial. We can go to rock. You can go to, perplexity.

You can go to ChatGPT. Yeah, yeah. But I thought it would be an interesting way to travel, because. What I hate flying. I don't like the fucking seats. Look, all I know is U.S trains use a four foot gauge. A four foot gauge? Yeah, it's actually over four feet, but it's a it's a little over four feet. And the train, the car itself is twice that size. So you've got at least eight feet in there. I mean I think the room is that way.

But when the beds come out and of course, the CSB said your, your part of the, the boots didn't work, which they're both going to my node, which I find to be hilarious though. Yeah. How how is it my part didn't work when they're both going to the same node? That's very interesting. It is. And I don't know if it's because, you know, something to do with. I'll tell you. Rebooting. I'm 66, the same as Adam Curry. The other you will fit. I'm good.

The Great Coffee Debate: French Press vs. Espresso

I just checked the fans are six foot six. Really? That's awesome. Yeah, yeah. Until you get there in the five foot four. Well, you better hope they didn't renovate it. This is is always because they were designed to be six foot six. Always the problem. Let me go to LBE hub and see if they're about annoy me for getting Leslie received a minute ago. Got a couple of birds and the, the actual room itself is seven feet, six inches, which isn't really bad at all. No, I mean, for spending one day.

Is that on? Is that those two days? It's, total of under 24 hours. I thought it was like 19 hours or something. 19 hours. Okay, okay. Fair enough. Enough. And the I think I only see one, boost. Howdy bro's. Please follow me. Set a verse while he wants you to go to KSP at post or, exit CSB. He will reciprocate. He's using post now. Post is god awful. I blocked all of post. When I post is way better than none. No authorities. It's a low toilet but whatever it is. Oh trash.

Oh I literally I blocked the whole domain on there post was always the worst people. All the Ukrainian pieces of shit were in there, but the guy that runs post is the one that does, the for Planet Rage. That's social. That's his service. Which means you can blow because it was like, hey, post whatever you want, nobody gives a shit. Which I think is good when it's your own service. I suppose that you're not going to get, worked out. Yeah, I can tell you. I don't know what to tell you. CSB.

I don't know why, except for the fact that maybe Alb Hub really does fucking suck. All I can tell you is try it again and see if, see if it works. I did just reboot the whole thing right before. And maybe the whole album, baby. Part of their. What? They were so fucking worried about going to pay us money. To pay us money? Oh, you forgot to pay, didn't you? Make like. No, I didn't pay them. Maybe they fucked up the software and ruined the part that was, separating between, genes.

Particular part of my node. I mean, you still. It's still there. I see, it's there. Gene, you got lots of satoshis. I mean, that's even even more than memories. And it exists, so I don't know why. Possibly it would, it would not work. And anybody else wants to try boosting. I think CSB just looks at your part of it and then cancels it and then goes, oh, did that work? Gene, I don't like Russian. I like lately he doesn't like you more than me. Yeah, I see it goes back and forth.

So I think we've already volleyed because back and forth I think we have volleyed right back to you. And, that's the reason why so yeah, last bit, last boost was seven days ago and they got grabs, got I got one literally seven days from CSB that was the only one and it only came through once. And it should come through twice because it should hit for my account and your account, which are both on the same node, which is just hilarious.

So if that if that has stopped working, that it was something in the Alby that is not accepting the. It could be some days. Well whatever let's move on. Doesn't matter. It is not real money. Go to PayPal. That's true to PayPal is the real money. So, Ben had sent me to name that name, Ben from a Good Old Boys podcast. That that Ben sent me a link to something that is pretty interesting, and I'm going for it. You right now. Oh, this is a great content gene for words. Things.

Let me click on the forward button there. Perfect. Did you get it? Oh yeah. Got it. You. It's a YouTube video. Okay, perfect. Well, this is interesting because I watch it now. Oh, you have. Yeah I have watch this because this I got, I got this video in the, in the no agenda back channel from cotton gin giving it to Beamer. I was like, hey, do you know this guy? That's too funny, This is a very popular video against nerds. So apparently all the nerds no agenda have been watching the same video.

It's great. The new windows. And that's not even porn. No. What are we watching at the same time? I'm guessing, so Ben wanted to make sure that you saw it because he knows that you're a shell power master and therefore, you should be checking out this great new warp thing called download it. I haven't used a windows machine as my main machine. No, it works on the Mac. Oh, it is working for the Mac as well. This is the cool thing about it. It's a universal shell. Oh, okay.

We'll learn the commands for the shell. You install it on Linux, you install it on Mac, you install on the PC. Same commands. Who do you like your backup engines are? You went on it and, let's see, six seconds ago, another one from CSB, but yet, only one. So not for yours. So, yeah, I'm guessing Alby maybe, hates you now. And, they updated their software to fucking annoy people, to pay them.

And while they fucking, did their software to annoy you, to pay them, they also fired something just showed up that says Howdy Bro's, please follow me. Oh, well, that's it. Is that it? It's only 19 $0.60, though. Worth $1. Let's see. Okay. This is that. Wait. Oh, interesting. I wonder then if that's not going to show up in helipad anymore. Which means they kind of fix something. And I'm really sorry, because that's a cool thing that, I'm so quick to judge. You know, I am a horrible person.

If you are Irish. This. You got to say I'm Irish. It's a pretty much means you're a horrible person. It's the Bill O'Reilly factor judge, right? We'll fucking do it live. We'll do it live. That sounds about right. For 36 seconds later. Like you want to go for a different. I'm going to install it right now while we're live. Let's see if it needs a reboot at all. Okay, this is interesting though. This is an improvement that if you got that last boost, it.

I did get the why were you trying to steal it? Is that what you're saying? No, but it normally would have shown up here twice because it was both coming into, the umbral here, but now it'll let's see somebody else. They'll send something again and see if it shows up. And let me see the, connections. Now yours is showing.

Gene’s Apocalypse Prep: Oxygen Tanks and Hoarding

Let's see. For, for a I sent dude named Ben an invoice for some stats, and he never paid it. How many sets do you tried to get out of? It was like 200 or something. It was just some kind of pyramid scheme I was trying to test. I'm like, hey, I'm going to send you a test. He's like, okay, so I sent somebody. He's never say I'm like, you get it? He's like, yeah, I got it. Well, the test is paying. Not looking at it.

The, somebody thing I want to know now if this goes up, just otherwise it's going into nowhere. So somebody could do, like a, you know, 1033, whatever. Just a small little boost to the, Yeah. I just want to see if Gene's amount in the wallet I have goes up to right now. It's ending in 911, so that'll be easy to know if anything comes in. Just don't don't send something like a hundred or something. Just send it like 10 or 33 out of mount. Yeah. Out of mount. Yeah. Something with weird numbers.

That's weird numbers, please. Because if we get a if we get a round number, then somebody else is going to have to send it again, and then we'll just keep going. Here we go. Round and round like that. Can I just say I've just authorized my get get hub account talk to this thing. I could just transfer the thousands of sets I have of roses into your account and see if that works.

I think it's okay with that. I don't think either one of us would notice, as this is sounding like a shell pyramid scheme. What the shit will work out. Oh, Beverly's coming in with the jokes. Oh, this is hot. He is hot. He's hot jokes, nerd humor. He's going to be working on, and the whole new. The whole new shtick. All right, all right. Membros. How do I get a directory listing in here? Is it list or is it windows? Would be dir. Actually, it does both. It does both.

LS something really interesting? It's like a universal. Like it understands it all I know, right? I'm like, am I Microsoft thing or am I Unix thing here? You could be both. This is hilarious. It does do it. Yeah it does all the commands do. I totally missed out on the fact that it works on, the Mac OS two. I got to try it there. Yeah. Good that I like this. The concept of being able to be cross machine capable. Yeah, it's pretty cool, right?

And you can, theoretically, at least I haven't done this right. Your batch scripts. Batch scripts, init. And then, have those be machine independent. Okay. I have to go and, fix your little app thing. Well, the, the the YouTube deal, dLSS DLC, the YouTube DLC. I don't know what you're saying, but yeah, you're that's the thing that steals YouTube videos. Oh, wait, DLP, I gotcha. That's what I just said.

Yeah, YouTube DLC, DLC, and KSP came in with another 1033 and sure enough it showed up in yours and it all. Let's see if it showed up at mine. Although it showed up twice here again, I'm seeing 511 here from CSV second today, which is right. I just don't understand why some of them, it shows up twice in still helipad and sometimes shows up. One doesn't work. It's all break anyway, so I broke so.

But I hope you see this because remember I made a, extension in for for the browser so I can use that with a graphic interface because I fucking hate typing commands. And which is why you hate to shell. Yeah, well, generally, yeah, Beamer is live on the shell. I don't mind the shell. If if I can set up a bunch of macros, I don't mind shell for that. There's like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle who lives on the half shell.

Exactly. So now I just have a button in my YouTube browser that will scan the page for any YouTube videos, and then download the best version of it. Right. Well, that's what DLP does. That's amazing. That's not I used to be for that. That's what I'm saying is that I'm, I've just got I got DLP running out of the browser now natively. And a lot of people don't know, probably don't pay any attention because that works pretty much everywhere, including Fox News.

If there's a video on the page, it'll download it. It works with most from, x, it works with most from TikTok. If you want to download something, even the works with TikTok. I didn't know that. Yeah. Damn. So it's great when doing clips for a show. Yeah, but you know, clip shows aren't real shows that here. They're the best shows. I even made an appearance yesterday on the a live stream of no agenda about halfway through the show. And, clean, feed, spit jcd out like a bad marble.

Adams, like, could you go to this link and see if it works? And I went and then I'm like, whoa, it did. Of course, the first time is see, starting up the podcasting rig is, you know, is a multi-step process. So I connected, but I did not go into the loop back to turn the correct microphone and oh yeah, headphones on to the browser. So, it was it was little less than useful. But yeah.

Now everybody that KSP of course was like, well that we know you can, you can replace basically like, oh yeah, it's that easy just because I, you know, have the show. Right. Because it's just oh you have to that is the bar for replacing John Cena for like one of the greatest minds of our time on a podcast. Are you stretching it there? I don't know about minds, but I think he is absolutely one of the best scribes of our time. Yeah, give him that.

As long as you can connect via KSP things, you can replace them. That's really the bar for CSB to replacing JCD, it seems. Oh, can you connect Uncleaned feed? Yeah. Ready to replace the cats clean, feed, even work? I don't even know. He still does. We're using it right now. Oh yeah. Oh okay. We're still okay. I was gonna ask you which I did use for that photo of the Ukrainian girl holding up the support. Unrelenting sign. Grok. Oh, that is grok. Okay. Grok. Interesting.

And you specified Ukrainian girl, right? Yes. Okay, I figured blond Ukrainian girl. I did it as grok does. Came out with more of a widescreen image. I filled it out using it up and put the text in there. I filled it up with Photoshop. The only text I added was the URL.

Amtrak Adventures: First Class or Sleeper Roulette?

Oh, it did the support. Unrelenting. But yes, it very well too, because it says on April and I did say unrelenting. Yes, okay, I thought I misspelled it, but turns out it didn't. No, that's the beauty. And it was a fairly nice, photograph. It did not spring. Yeah. Think that's interesting, is it? It actually made an imperfect woman image, which is unusual for I. Her face is not symmetric. I tends to go for symmetric faces. Maybe it's learning. It is learning. It's starting to figure things out.

I was like, hold on, there is no such thing as absolute beauty in humanity. And this was, the first result was not quite as good, but the second, well, I thought was. And here was the, let's we're talking, we're talking shop. Prompts are talking shop. We're talking shop here. Did I run some graphic? Well, we're talking create a photograph, I said of a busty blond Ukrainian supermodel with blue eyes and red lips.

She is wearing a yellow polka dot bikini and holding up a handwritten sign that says support unrelenting. Are you impressed that I can recognize Ukrainian from an eye image? Yes. What part of Ukrainian is, the look here that you're going. What what's what is the short give away? And I'll tell you. I'll show me. Send you this. I'm just the kind of story of Eastern European women, my friends. Oh, well, of course you are. Of course I can understand.

I have a guy, you, that provides these kind of things for you. You just, you know, you got a guy for that. You were married once. You learned the lesson, you're like, don't that guy. That's a fucking loop right off the speed dial. This was the other option. This is a totally inside baseball. The the first chick I would have dated a lot of Ukrainian girls over the years. Man, this one was not anywhere near as, Oh, yeah. And you could be just a screwed up face.

So, I mean, it's not perfect. You gotta do. But the, the other one was really, was real. Well, again, believable, which is the hardest thing to do with the photograph reproductions. Yeah, yeah. Advertise up to 200 million. I love getting spam. I'm like, jcd, I do get spam. So let me let me ask you something. Are Ukrainian women? In their, in your opinion, are they the best? I would say the Ukraine girls really knock me out. There's no way Ukrainian women are inherently the best.

Best at what? Anyway? Beauty, personality. That's all subjective nonsense. People fetishize and stereotype. You have to pipe that to better without evidence makes you think they're so special. You hear that? Yeah. You need to pipe it through better. But you didn't say anything worth hearing. You're watching my question. What makes you think Ukrainian women are the best? Come on, spit it out. Okay, I like it. I I that's just a bitchy woman. What? But you didn't see anything worthwhile. Just like.

Wait, was jeans going to say bitchy woman? Are you being repetitive? Oh. Oh, no, no, no, I was asking you if you heard anything I did, but then, I mean, I answered you. I was coming out of the phone speaker, so it wasn't, I'm sure. Very good. Yeah. What's not piped through very well, but, I mean, I was answering your question, but the. Do you gist of it, though. Yeah. Ukraine girls really knocked me out. They leave the rest behind. Or is it the West? But they're quite attractive there.

There is definitely something about them. The good thing is there's a lot of them for a very few men. Now, Moscow girls make me scream and shout that Georgia's always on my mama, mama, mama, mama, mind you okay? You're not familiar with the Beatles song? No. In the USSR. I've heard it. I've heard a the Ukraine girls really knocked me out. That's what I know about Ukraine. Girls. They knock you out. I mean, that could be because they're so gorgeous.

They knock you out or they're just way more likely to take you into a hotel room. You're not. The hero drops your money, you out. Right? That's true too. Yeah. What are the other. I'm not really sure, but it's finding out is the fun part. No, no. But it. But hey, at least you've got both kidneys. If you go there. There you go. Yeah. Unlike certain other parts of the world. But that particular, image did not get us any, real support, so I don't know.

Shocker. Amazing. It's amazing. I know it is amazing how poorly things have been going lately. I just need a better gig. I guess. Well. Or one that makes money here. But then other people go. What did you do with the show? No one says that they do. If we skip a show, people get pissed. I don't think so. Yeah, I doubt it. I don't think that anyone would get pissed. And we are skipping next week. The wife for that?

Yeah. The wife's having surgery on Thursday, so I'm going to get a replacement co-host for next week then. I'm tired of skipping shit every time you have some kind of event where we just cancel the show, it's better nobody listens anyway. Well, that's the we do these shows for different reasons, dude, I do this show to talk. You do it to make money, but you always talk. Exactly. You know, I don't always make money. So this is exactly, This this is the imbalance of unrelenting good.

It's totally and totally balanced. Well, anyway, I got two topics I wanted to get out of the way. Out of the way so that those are out of the way. And that way you don't let anyone take what you wanted to talk about. The million dollar green card or $5 million green card. Gold card. We talked about that. No, the I wanted to I told then I would bring up the, the shell product and I did, so that's good.

Well, the shell is nice because it gives you control of things that the average person can't mess with easily. And there's no doubt that you can do things in the shell that will, work your computer completely. So I understand why a lot of people are, avoiding certain. Yeah, it's not the. Everybody likes the graphical user interface. You just want to be able to click just click, click, click do something, click do something. Click rather than remembering

Boostagrams Gone Rogue: Where Did The Satoshis Go?

a particular, command. Of course, that was why it was fun back in the day when somebody was just getting their, you know, Apple TV and whatever it was, and they're like, oh, man, this isn't working, right. What do I do? What? Okay, go into, there's this thing called the terminal. Okay, okay. Now what do I do? Format c colon. Okay. Now what? Literally what I told you to do when you bought your Mac format. C probably erase the whole son of a bitch. It's gone. Why is it that way?

That's erasing everything right back. Now you got a chance to reinstall everything clean, which is what you wanted, right? And I love who is, again, our only, contributor for today's show, CSB. So we may as well make fun of him a bit. And I'm like, why? I'm. I'm waiting. I don't know, I'm kind of want to and I know there's really no reason to get a m4 studio. No. Except for the fact that when I am rendering out things, it's still takes way too long.

And I would like to play with some more of the AI stuff on there, and it might actually speed things up. But with that said, according to CSB, the M4 studio is no better than the M4 Mac mini. It's like it technically it's it's faster. There's no question about it. It has more CPU cores, more GPU cores. Now, will I notice a difference surfing the web? No. Well, you notice the difference doing most things?

No. But for rendering out any audio using these plugins that do the, separating the voice from the river from the background noise. Yeah, it'll speed that up by whatever. So if that's taking an hour now, then if you get a CPU that's twice as fast as what you have, it'll take a half hour. I mean, this math is pretty simple. It's like do most people need it. No. Is this fine. Can I get away with it. Yes.

But the wife is still on a windows machine and I'm like well why, why should I buy her another Mac mini. And both have the same? Why not have one that's bigger and better? Talk me out of spending more money. Go ahead. I think you ought to get a mac Pro with, the cheese grater. Yeah, like a new one with. If you get a, if you get the Mac Studio, then you have to get the Apple six K display. No, I don't think you do. Why would I want that. I don't care about the stand for it is $1,000.

See that's how they know you're in the Apple ecosystem. Come with the stand that's out like. No. So here you have a really nice model. Do you like thinking wow that's a not too bad of a price for what you get. Then you're like well where's this 32 inch monitor? I think it's four grand by itself or three grand. It's a it's it's a reasonable deal. And they, they take the stand off just to stand as a separate. It's $1,000 in case you want a mounted. So you don't need that. The, I guess that's nice.

They're saving you $1,000. Yeah, yeah, that's how some people think with the apple rather than. God, fuck you, dude. Why would you charge $1,000 for a stand? Yeah. I don't care about the, the displays, I really don't. And maybe I should just get a nut or something like that. The wife did, we talked about the fact that her Dell, which was my Dell from the one that I just replaced, was like three years old, the one that she's on, the wife's on was one from like three years before that.

So this has to be about a six year old Dell. But it was a top of the line. It has 64 gig memory in it, and I think it costs like 1800 to 2000 bucks at Costco six years ago. And it has it has 128 gigabyte is a main drive because you start getting into the old driver's full areas, but how the fuck can that be on? My god, I didn't like where they were that small. That's right, the fucking brand new M2 drives were every little, you know, they were so expensive.

So I'm like, well, do I just I mean, I guess I could just replace that drive, but it's like, yeah, she just does very basic stuff on it. Which is why a mac mini would probably be great. But then I can get a mention for that studio. Yeah, I am, and I'm see if they would come out at the same time, you wouldn't have this fucking problem. That's not the way Apple does it. They get you like, well, you don't want to wait. So with the advertising in which they, they just released a new form.

Shell Shock: The Quest for the Ultimate Terminal

Oh, I know, and that is bullshit. Marquez Brownlee, just rip that cheap phone to shreds. Yeah, really? He's like, who's it for? He's like, really? You're much better at this point. Getting a refurb. 15 Pro for the same price. Yeah, I was going to say it's probably pretty close in price. And the new one he said is really, it's an okay phone, but it's not a cheap phone anymore. Where the AC yeah, I love my fucking iPhone SE.

I hardly use it, but I love it because the size and it does exactly what you need it to. Yeah. The push. I've been thinking of going back to a flip phone again. You should. Yeah. So I watched Adam on Joe Rogan where he had his flip phone and I text him, I hate which mouse is that? I'm thinking getting one, but it's the problem with the one that he got is it's too thick. Yeah. The women always complain about that. Yeah, I know exactly.

And so it's like there are definitely thinner, thinner flip phones in there. And then I saw the, the Samsung folding phone, which has a full screen when you flip it. That's weird. My mother in law has one. She. And it's not work. Yeah. Seems to I don't know what the longevity is going to be. But when I saw it sitting on the table, then she opened it up. I said, well, that's weird. I mean, I knew they existed, but I had never seen one in the wild. Okay. All right.

Yeah, well, the old fashioned one. I think a part of the break could be like the Adam Curry and go off the grid to the point where it's only going to be for calls and texts. There ain't no there ain't no signal on a, flip flop. Well, there is, it runs Android. You have a flip phone that runs Android. Adam does. Oh, interesting. Yeah. You been sending me YouTube videos of actual blond Ukrainian women. I could just watch this for the rest of the show. I know. Right? And we're done. Much better.

Content 189 views a video from two days ago. How? This is the kind of content we should be. This is crowd size we should be getting. What do you say? 29? You mean 29 million? No, it's the 29,000 of that one. Somebody 2000 go. Right, right. That's what I meant. Thousand. But I said million because you want millions. I mean but well you said 29. You didn't say a thousand. It is the correct thing. You Adam flip phone me. According to Cat and Jen, a cat s 22. Flip it is. Yeah. Oh it got injured.

Had one before Adam Scott Jones the cool one. So everybody should get one of those. Tell us how they work. Well, cat injured can tell us. Is it too cool for, Jean Jen or is this something that you think would work out what a it. It's it's a guy in his beard. That's the problem, too. Would it get caught in the beard up close? It might get cut in the phone. Yeah, but it's just it's too thick. I, I used to have a very nice compact flip phone that was my backup travel fund.

And this is like ten years ago. I think it was a Motorola, I believe. And it was drones were back, which I like. It was like it wasn't plastic. I mean, it had plastic bits, but it was also had some metal parts and it was very thin. Like that thing closed was barely thicker than my iPhone. Normal phone thickness. Yeah. Because they didn't have to be when it was open. You could cut cheese with it. It was very sharp on the edge. And it was great. And then my mom's phone broke.

So I left that for her at my parents house, and I never saw that phone again after that. And I kind of forgot about having, emergency travel for phone because I got an emergency travel Android phone, and I, I've had that, but that is now old, and I can't upgrade the Android on it. I think it's running like a true Android seven or something. You know, that's not very secure, I would guess. I think they're up to 13 now.

So it's it's a and not to mention the fact that the battery is now degraded, not from being used a lot, but from the fact that the phone is like six years old. We have an article from late last year that says, how do you say Hawaii? I know the one that you, everybody in America hates because they're they're bad. China, Hawaii H-2a 000, Hawaii. Hawaii. Yeah, Hawaii. They came out of one of the most, thinnest flip phones around. Really. That's what I need. So it's yellow folded.

The Great Train Bed Debate: How Tall Is Too Tall?

It is but I have to order it from outside the US because Hawaii is banned. The U.S.. I know that. Well, can you actually get it? Even, put onto a US carrier would be the interesting part that, Yeah. Oh, yeah. U.S. carriers use international standards. It measures just. Oh, you can get a last year's Motorola Razr folding phone for 99 bucks. There you go. Interesting. Yeah. And then the only folding phones I've seen lately are the stupid, like, jitterbug ones.

This is really, really, really, really, really, really, really old people. Hey, do you remember back when you used to be a business executive in 1997? Yes. We got your phone right here in 1987 was when the, portable cell phones that weighed about 15 pounds came out. No, that was 87. I said 97. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said 87. 97 is I, I had a when they get my first flip phone that would have been actually it wasn't a flip phone. It was a normal stick phone.

And that would have been a brick phone. Was that what you call it? Was the brick? No, no, no, it was a stick phone. It was not a brick phone. It was on the aerial wireless network spelled differently. There's a misspelling of the word aerial, and it would have been 90. 96 or 7, 96 or 7 like them. So I didn't have a phone until like maybe 6 or 7. Wow. I had my cell phone in like 1988. Well, I didn't work at a, Radio Shack. Unlike some people, radio shack, where the kids can get together.

It was, the first one I got was strictly because. And we've told this story here. Yeah, like three times. The guy that I used to work for was upgrading his in-car cell phone. These weren't portable. Do you want a phone? Right, I did the I did the labor. I swapped the phones out. And he's like, do you want the phone or am I okay? Yeah. And at the time this was what can you imagine a world today where I think the monthly billing was maybe ten bucks plus $0.25 a minute.

So if you never use the phone for the whole month, it was ten bucks to have the service, right? It wasn't this, oh, past $500 for a family plan. No. And if you really only had it for emergency fees and for quick calls, that's probably back in the day. Man would be able to tell you what the landlines. Yeah. Would call grandma was $0.25 a minute to call her wherever people were like, hey, how you doing? Go, go, Jim. Sleep. Can you imagine these shows? If we had to pay $0.25 a minute?

Yeah, we'd be making money. We would have hung up a long time ago. That's what we need. We need people to pay $0.25 a minute for the show. Do you want the 900 number? Right? Oh, man. People like, what's a 900 number back in the day. Oh yeah. Thank you for calling one 900. Suck me now you're the hottest phone chat. If you are English press one 900 numbers. Man that was the scam. I don't think it was a scam. I think it was just early porn sites. Or over the phone? Yeah. Phone porn.

Don't forget to spell video. No, it was, to some woman maybe talking to you. Just somebody. Grandma, come to you sexy, like. Right. And, your imagination. You know that we used to have those. They don't. They don't have them anymore. But we used to have these things called imagination. Now you're right. Now people don't. They are very much part of the, the mass hypnosis thing that they just did. I don't know, can't think, can't come up with anything new. I will do it for us. Like, no, it won't.

You know, we did 900 numbers begin. I guess I should put this in time ago. Probably 70s. Maybe I should be putting this into an I rather than, You want to hear lies? Is that what you're saying? Right. We go to, like, their pay per call numbers. Oh, see, we could do that, too. We could do that for like ten someone. Yeah. Maybe CSB has a 900 number just for Pomeranians. I with cipher says the company that owns the night. When did they start these service in the USA. Wait, wait.

The first 900 number.

Boostagram Mystery: The Case of the Missing Satoshis

Do you know what this was? Allegedly, according to this, the first 900 number in the United States. What was for the ask President Carter program in 1977? Told you the 70s. This is the fake. This is. But this is where it started was you can ask the president a question. Oh, Mike, what are you wearing? You get Jimmy Carter out of the phone book? Yeah. This is a 900. Ever talk dirty to me, Gabbard? Peanut farmer like y. Whoa. March of 1977 for incoming.

Talk to me like you're the worst president ever. Be bad. A nationwide talk radio broadcast featuring the newly elected president Jimmy Carter, hosted by anchor man Walter Cronkite. Oh, my God. At the time, the internet was chilling. 900 numbers. The attempt for the area code 900 was as a joke exchange, a joke that blocked large numbers of simultaneous calls callers from jamming up the long distance network. The 900 area calls were those they expected to have a huge number of potential callers.

Very interesting. Well, I remember voting for TV programs using that, going to the, 900 number. Like you could vote now 57 Celia polls here. At that time, many evening news agencies conducted pulse polls for $0.50 a call. Can you imagine, like, really, how fucking accurate are the polls going to be when the people voting after pay pretty more? Well, a whole lot more accurate than the polls that are free.

Maybe one early use was Saturday Night Live producers for the sketch Larry the Lobster, featuring Eddie Murphy. It drew nearly 500,000 calls. Yeah, AT&T and Saturday Night Live split the profits of nearly $250,000. So you did not know all this? About 900 numbers or need to write. But this is back to the day, kids. You can buy the. Apparently you can buy the Hawaii's, Huawei or Huawei, right? Exactly. I try I get caught up there. You I don't know, you said you can buy those.

I've heard this word so many times. Wow. Yeah. Oh, you can buy this, Amazon. But they tell you comes with no warranty because it's not legal for that company to be here. But you could buy them. They're available. What if they really try this spy? How do you achieve? What if they succeed at spying? I mean, like the federal government, you be like your existing phone carrier. Do we talk about the fiasco that happened that I totally predicted a week ago? Which one?

The, FCC papers? Yes. And I said no and turns out no. So we're we're not seeing you have to leave yet listed as abstain adjacent. Perhaps the temptation. Yeah. I wish liquid death. Yeah. Well, it was a you get. I'm telling you, you're going to die, man. It was the drinking that stuff. It is an oddity. What they did with this release of the binders, it just. I mean, I don't like to agree with the lunatics on the left, but I'm going along with the optics weren't great.

You know, a bunch of people, you know, mainly podcasters or YouTube personal ladies or TikTokers, whoever was all involved. They know the lives of TikTok. Woman was one of them doing the photo op like laughing. Ha! We got the binders that are allegedly filled with information about hundreds of binders. Yes, of victims who were watching you like above that because I saw a couple other people on the X say that same thing you just did. And I don't understand the mentality.

What do you give a shit who got that data? I don't care who got it. It was, why would you do the photo app and be like all giddy that you're getting access to that data? It's like it's kind of like you're being handed the okay, not quite as serious, but it's like here you're being handed the data from Auschwitz. Oh. Yay! We got the data. Woohoo! The deal with I think they were.

I think they were more excited that just being at the white House than that may be, but they were holding up the fucking binders, which was just because they gave them the binders for the photo op that were literally right. Well, they should have been empty binders. It didn't seem like there was anything in them that we didn't know going in as of yet, although it seems like today more stuff may be leaking out.

Post vs. Nostr: The Social Media Cage Match

We'll probably have more leaks, but the full thing is never coming out. There's too many people involved that were saying nothing much was scrubbed already. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but that's why. I mean, if you see stuff, it's going to be a sheet of paper with a lot of blank lines. Yeah. Or the information was just deleted. This is the reality is it's it's not just the sort of generic deletes like Bill gates. Everybody knows Bill gates the pedophile. Everybody knows this.

Allegedly. Yeah. That's his wife Julie. Have his wife literally divorced him because he was a pedophile. Allegedly. And so it's that that is no surprise that he's been on on the plane out to the island like 86 times. Give me money. Just always laying on me. Did he younger. Right. Well, I think he probably figured this was safer

because he's taking somebody else's plane with. No. Okay, I, I can understand that both of those guys were high fiving each other, and they're both they're both being tracked. So I, I guess you're right. If you're a, you know, Bill Clinton and, Yeah, this is different. Street Air Force One landing on the Epstein Island as opposed to getting a ride at this point. But I get it right.

That much I get. So, that makes sense. But, yeah, but I think the big the the the real reason that this shit can't come out isn't because, oh, these, these, you know, rich people are going to be on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's rich people. He's the real reason he can't come out. Epstein has always worked for the US government. Let's not let's, you know, just because you don't like Jews doesn't mean that everybody bad as a Jew and working for Israel.

And there's all these theories about Epstein working for Israel. No, no, Epstein was always working for the US government. This was literally an illegal program that was targeting Americans by an American agency. That is not supposed to conduct business in America. If that goes out, then a lot of people are gonna lose their job. What the hell? He's here to just not have it come out.

Well, other than the client, what it does is it basically shows that the US government has been paying for pedophilia for decades, and nobody in government wants to have that impression that the US government was actually impulsively involved, that actually utilized underage girls and boys in a program that was paid for by the taxpayer that nobody wants to have show up. And that's why this has been now, what, four years since the, since Epstein. Yeah. Was never committed suicide. Right.

And, the headlines on Fox right now, Trump has tense exchange with Zielinski during meeting at the white House. And why do they smell the Zelensky with two? Why is all of a sudden now two? That's the Ukraine Ian Spelling and I know other news agencies have done that before, but that's because they're all trying to be all like Ukraine's the real country. Oh okay. So language and shit, which it's not. But on a real country, not a real country, it literally means the asshole of Russia in Russian.

That's what Ukraine means. No, it's it's, they've changed the spellings of damn near everything, and they've, they've they've converted it to what are, in my humble opinion, basically misspellings that were here's what it is. You know how there's a perception that people in the South speak English poorly and have, a bad command of the U.S language? Sure. And, there's a lot of little phrases and words that if you spelled them the way that they sound, make no sense at all.

So imagine if that all of a sudden became Georgia's official spelling guide for for their spelling of words. It would make sense. He would have a lot. And it's sort of like, okay, yes, you get colloquial, but now you're actually you're taking the words that the rest of the country is using and spelling a certain way, and you are choosing to spell them differently now to match the English accent. Well, you start seeing that. I mean, you see, like y'all, I've seen that written.

It's like for that y'all is a real word. Shut up. Now, isn't that like the epitome of the southern speak? Like, hey, y'all, it's you all, you know? I mean, it is you all. Yeah, yeah.

AI-Powered Shells: The Future of Lazy Coding

So essentially that that's what, a lot of these Ukrainian spellings are, is they're just they are a localized deviation from the Russian spelling and people feature. Oh, it's so it's a separate language, like, dude, Ukraine literally has never been a country. It has never been a country until the fall of the Soviet Union. It was it's been invaded a bunch of times by other countries. Doesn't make it that country like when the Mongols were there.

Doesn't make it Mongolian, when the Tartars were there. Doesn't make it partire when the, the Turks invaded. Doesn't make it Turkish. It's always been part of Russia since the early days. So trying to come up with this whole, like, inventing a country out of thin air. It's the same shit with the Gaza. It's like never been a country. Literally never been a country. It's it's always been controlled by whoever controls that part of the Middle East.

And, now it's like, oh, they we got to have a two state solution. We got to have two countries there. Yeah. Because the Arabs that moved there from Arabia, literally named for who they are now decided that that's where they want to live. And somehow the Jews that were the population there for over 2500 years, they're now the colonial losers. It's insanity man. Oh, it's all insanity.

But it's all just, you know, bread and circuses, it's all just a bunch of, things to keep people spun up about so they can be mad. Trump seems like he's, doing some interesting stuff. Going to get some, minerals from Ukraine, which is what it's not about. Right. Which is is exactly. I mean, this is, I think that's is probably a very good deal for both countries. It's not like Ukraine's not going to get paid money as well. It's right.

If it was like, okay, automatically we just own all your minerals, that'd be one thing. And that would be great for us, by the way. Great. But, but no, they did a deal where, we get the rights, the exclusive rights as a country. So only American companies, I guess, can extract minerals. And do you know how hard it is? Europe has got to feel like, well, this is a screw, but what kind of technology is needed to get something like lithium out of.

Well, we have to dig up all of the fields in Ukraine and all the materials that are underneath them. So Ukraine providing food to Europe is over and done with at this point is, it's more important that we get our components for batteries there, right? The electronic cars that the left loves so much. Well, not anymore. It's sudden. The green shit right at the table. Yeah. The damn, the damn conservatives are all for the electric cars now, apparently. Gotta get rid of them.

But that would be my question. Which is? The stories that I have heard say that Ukraine would need a partner, whether it's the United States. It could have probably been some European countries, but they needed a partner to provide the technology for them to get the minerals that they have, to the point to where they can monetize them to do the mining.

So, I mean, if nobody if the United States and nobody else was helping them, I guess it would be a long time before Ukraine could buy lithium in a way that would they could monetize and sell this is that. No, I think it might. But, you know, mining isn't done for free. These are like billion dollar operations to set up a mine and extract material. So it's not as much about the technology as the money to back what needs to be done.

Yeah, they could have been pulling this shit out many years ago if they would have gotten the right investments coming into them, but everybody knew up until three years ago, apparently, that you can't do business with Ukraine because they'll rob and cheat and steal from you. But yeah, it is one of the most corrupt country north of the Middle East. Everybody knew this. This is where you you can find your articles from the BBC literally saying Ukraine most corrupt country in Europe.

Yeah. I mean, if you want to get the money, you wanted to go with arms and It's probably going through Ukraine. The great Wild West. Yeah. Yeah. The place that lost half the money that was sent to it. Amazing. Now, do you buy into it? I if it makes sense, I think. No, I haven't bought a Ukrainian property, but yeah, by buying these lies, all this lithium, Ukrainian that do it now before anybody kind of up.

Gene's Free Shit Adventures: Ponchos, Mirrors, and More

I'm looking at stocks man. Because that's going to be American companies this point right. Yeah. There's only a limited number of companies that can also I'm guessing this means the this is like the wink wink nudge nudge like they're talking with, Greenland. My guess is if whatever, you know, companies X, Y and Z with America backing go into Ukraine to mine, the lithium is going to be, well to protect our interests.

I mean, we're going to need some American boots on the ground, the military there and what's there's American military in Ukraine. Well, that makes it a lot harder for Putin to, to try to do anything with Ukraine. It changes the whole aspect of what's going on there, because now your problem was never doing anything with Ukraine to begin with. I mean, it's Ukraine that wanted to do things. That button didn't let Ukraine attacked Russia, is what you're saying.

Well, I mean, Ukraine had a fairly pro-Russian, although not I would even called pro-Russian. I'd say it was just not anti-Russian. They had a Russia ambivalent government until Hillary Clinton brought in the revolution to replace it. And so prior to that revolution, excuse me, probably 2014, there was no reasonable risk for Russia of Ukraine holding missiles aimed at Russia like that was just not a likely possibility after the revolution that Hillary brought in, that possibility greatly rose.

And so now it's like, well, if things keep going the way they are, there probably will end up being missiles in Ukraine, literally across the border from Russia, aimed at Moscow, which is only like, you know, a couple hours away. And that's that is why they have to go in there and, because threats stopped working like Russia saying, guys, you can't do this. This is a, a red line for us didn't work because the the administration under Obama just completely laughed it off. They ignored that.

There was no other choice other than to go in and have the special military operation there. And and if anyone thinks the US would have done anything different at all with Mexico, you're insane is if China brings in. I mean, look at what we already did this with. Panama, right? China doesn't even have any military assets in Panama. What they have is commercial assets. Like they they got the contract to run the canal. Makes sense. They probably underbid everybody else. Right.

And Panama doesn't have enough native staff to do this. So they had China bid for it. China one part of their Belt and Road initiative. And the first thing Trump did when he came in is like, no, that's that's not going to happen either. We're going to take over the canal or the Panamanians are going to run it, but it's not going to be a competitor of ours. Well, no, because China was not getting a deal.

It's like, yeah, it'd be charged more to go through the canal, which of course adds to pricing out everything. Well, we're being charged more because somebody else is running it. Yeah. Do I do it yourself? That's why Trump was a genius when he's like, I'll take over Gaza. Then all of a sudden people are tripping over themselves to take over Gaza. Oh yeah. No, I think I think really want Gaza. I honestly think if the US took over Gaza it would be hilarious.

Let me be a nice vacation spot for you because. Yeah, exactly. I would totally go vacation there. Absolutely. Imagine having a like a little miniature Puerto Rico in the middle East that we could go to and not have to bring a passport. Well even better. Yeah, yeah. It just. Yeah. Surgery. I think that that's not a bad way to go.

And I think you can do that with zero military purely they by pressuring are again other front of me middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt to take that population of people. Right. And that was what it's all about, which is if you're go, this place is no longer standing. In the I don't even know why you think this is more humanitarian then some of the people on the left, like how are you gonna force these people out. Well the alternative is to totally raze

Coffee Wars: French Press, Espresso, or Just Give Up?

everything in their country and rebuild while they live in a tent two feet away. Yeah. For ten years. Yeah, I, I don't understand how that's the more humanitarian way to go. Rather than, hey, you know what we need to because of the fact that it was a war torn and there are bombs and it's like, this is not an easy, an easy thing that needs to be done. The rebuilding of that area, it to make it safe, you need to go through. You need to demolish a lot of buildings.

You need to make sure there's no mines and all explosives and all these kind of things to be like, well, no, we don't want to push these people out of their homes. Well, their homes are already gone. And these are the same fucking people that love it. When 18 million people walked into the United States. Well, why don't you love these people going to a country that's not fucking rubble while their country maybe is being repaired?

I mean, really just turned into a big club bed with maybe they could go back and work one day? Yeah, I get that part of it. It's like, it's, what's crazy is before that attack, even with all the tensions there were, they were I think it was, I can't remember, it was over 100,000 or under 100,000, but there were tens of thousands of people that lived in Gaza that crossed the border every day. And worked in it in Israel like it wasn't this.

Oh, it's an open air prison bullshit that's being propagated right there. There are many have not been much love happening back and forth, but certainly people living in Gaza got to work.

So they crossed the border legally and, going through all the checkpoints and then just, you know, once their jobs came back home to Gaza, there was images of, restaurants and bars and, well, maybe not bars, I guess the Muslim country, but certainly restaurants and that nice beachfront property that was in Gaza that only Arabs were allowed to go to. And it wasn't like some shithole that it is now after the bombings, obviously.

But like, how how do you not blame the people that actually crossed over into Israel to go on a mass murder rampage? Right. And how do you not blame them for what's happened there? Because that's who's to blame. Absolutely, 100%. No two ways about it, because it's there were relations between tons of people from Gaza and Israelis, and they were cordial. They may not have been super friendly, but they were certainly cordial. It is a sickness. Yeah, it is. And it is great.

And the other thing, there's a video that I, posted the other day, which very good video that actually went through the history of the region and it showed that the, the people that are claiming to be the, the, you know, original owners of that land, the Palestinians, the so-called Palestinians, because there's no such thing. They move there. Their, their ancestors moved to that area during the spread of Islam around 1000 AD, like there were no Arabs living in that part of the world.

Zero. They hadn't spread that far. Arab, the Arab, culture is actually kind of delayed. I don't want to use the word retarded here because it has other meanings, but in the actual sense of the word retarded meaning delayed it have a delayed cultural awakening compared to even their neighbors. The Persians, like the Persians, were ahead of the Arabs in a lot of ways. In their, science and, and, culture and their empirical ambitions as well.

And then, you know, by the time that the Arabs got to the Middle East, which was mostly populated by three groups, the North Africans, like the Egyptians, which are very distinct from Arabs, they're they're lighter skinned. They have different facial features, actual Europeans from Greece. These would have been the, the, the what the hell's the name? They were from Crete, but they're of the Croatia that Palestinians. But the people pop up, Croatians. But no, no, no, no, what's the word?

It's the it's it's where the the word Palestine comes from originally.

Final Rants and Wrap-Up: Gene's Last Stand

It's from there were the, Palpatine's. No. Or my. I think you have your Star Wars. Yeah. That's ours. Yeah. Well, anyway, while the B 12 did not wait for them, the South. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, them. And then of course the Jews, which had been in that area for already over 500 years. So the, the Arabs coming in, there was a, a later stage phenomenon.

And it was during really the conquest of Islam and to which response, incidentally, it was through the spread of Islam through the Arabs that the Crusades happened. And so in, in the 11th and 12th century, Europeans decided to ensure the safety of travels of the pilgrim going to the Holy Land. Why did they need to have military, provide safety for them all of a sudden? When they didn't for the first thousand years of Christianity? Well, is because of the spread of,

Islam carried out by the migration of the Arabs. So I get it that European history, or certainly Middle Eastern history, is not taught in American schools, nor in American history, nor is American history. And American history is only 250 years old, where we're talking here about thousands of years ago, or at least a thousand years ago. But people believe what they want to believe, Jean.

But yeah, but it's just it's it's shake your head level of embarrassment to see people that are absolutely clueless about history and about culture sitting there and saying that the Jews and Israel are the colonizers, like that level up and saying you it's it'd be the same kind of people that would be trying to argue that, Jews from Germany all decided to go to vacation in Poland, in Auschwitz. Like it's that level of stupidity. And they. Get in a country where.
