¶ Opening Salvo: Blame, Bleep, and Welcome to Unrelenting
Blame the Jews. In the name of. You. And.
¶ AI Voices, Cloning, and the Quest for the Perfect Darren
Look! The cheap fucking pricks that listen to this show are the biggest fucking douchebags in the world. They fucking complain when we don't do a show, but they refuse to support it. Fuck them. Fuck them hard with the glass dildo. Cheap fucking prayer. Oh my God. That's a little a little too much noise ever to watch. Welcome to unrelenting House. It's pretty damn close. So I'll tell you that. Yes. I think if you, continue to, like, tweak it, it can get there with a little bit of work.
Yeah. This is an I show, of course, as always. And, this is beyond the what we have talked about in the past, because we always were talking about 11 labs, which they charge you a decent amount of money for this stuff
¶ DIY AI: Free Speech Synthesis and the Hitchhiker’s Towel
in Canada. And this is local, free download, do whatever you want. And it is so close, so close. And it can handle large inputs too. So you can put a whole books worth of text in, have it read what you want to do. You can you probably makes more sense to break it up, except for the fact that the time capacity. So, for the people that will complain about how slow it generates and this really wasn't bad for what it can generate, I think it was a bad thing.
I mean, minutes per minute on the M4 base, Mac mini, I believe it took about a half hour to do 14 minutes or so. So almost half real time on the lowest M4. So if you get the big boy man, because this is utilizing the GPU as well. So it should speed it up. I quite a bit, but if you have a large project that you're working on, you can put the text in and go to bed.
Then get up and you'll have chunks of like 12 seconds to 15 seconds apiece, and then you'll have the full file together so you can go through, listen to it, and then decide what you need to edit. And it would make it easy enough and then run it through, you know, again, this isn't running it through Photoshop or not Photoshop, through, additions or anything to tweak the audio. This is right out of the box. Granted, I mean, yours.
I think I put in about 50s five zero because it's not hard to find long stretches of you right where? No, you're killing. So I think it learns a little better. They were arguing, no agenda yesterday. The track did not believe that these audio cloning things only needed three seconds of audio. And maybe he's right. The minimum it says on this is six seconds. I've never tried less. I don't know if it'll even accept it or work. Well, I think I think
your quality will be affected by how much you put in there. Yes. And it's, it's an oddity because it doesn't save what it learns. So when I put your voice recording in, I need to put that voice recording at any time. I want to do a GM voice. So if I want to switch to somebody else, I have to upload their audio. It's not remembering. It's not that you can't do like, a save pattern kind of thing. No, not yet, although I'm guessing that's not too far down the line.
As well as being able to tweak and maybe being able to learn. I don't know how much adding more they've got to add. Stuff like that gives you what you should be able to do is create these patterns and then and then literally like a script, be able to assign the voice that you want right, to the part of the text. And then you could literally do our whole show without waking me up. Right. Or you can take, you can take no agenda or any other podcast and then just change the voices to somebody else.
It it has to be blitz or nobody would know. It would be easy. And there is a kind of a thing like that. Right now I'm using the iPhone where you can do real time translation from one language to another. Well, I know ChatGPT does. There's something else as well. Now, the translate lag, I think that's built in the new iPhones, the latest with the tech where you can just have the microphone listening and then talking to your Bluetooth. Well, this is what I was hearing looking for right?
This is what I was come for fish, right. Oh, Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. If anybody is listening to this show and they haven't read The Hitchhiker's
¶ Lego Masters, Global Edition: From Aussie Bricks to Mandarin Clicks
Guide to the Galaxy, yes, by yet, by Douglas Adams, let me stop the show right now and go read that. Okay. I've seen a little bit. You've never looked where. You've never read the. Of course I've read it to be like you. He read them to a mention of Babelfish without having read the book. But it's a good point. Remember we talked about this somewhere, and I don't know where it is, but somewhere in my boxes in the garage of my childhood crap is a towel autographed by Douglas at home. That's right.
Somewhere among the ponchos, there is a towel. You always have to have your towel. You say that, kiddingly, but literally those boxes are about three feet apart. But damn, I clean the garage. But this is the technology that I want. Because we've watched all of the Lego masters from the United States. All right, keep talking about that. My groceries just showed up. Okay. I'll be back in about three months. We have it. Okay. Well, every time. Jean. Okay. I'll be back in seven minutes.
That's awesome. If you can put a clock on me. I watched all of the Lego masters from Aussie land from Australia, which are in English, of course, watching the Lego Masters. There was only two seasons from New Zealand. They figured if the Aussies could do it, they can do it as well. So I watch those. And now the only Lego masters left. They made it in China. Yeah. So there's a season of Chinese Lego Masters. I'm betting they are the best damn builders of Lego around.
But of course these shows. China. There's one from, of course, Denmark, where they're from there. You know, Billund is where Lego is from. And there's a bunch, I think Finland, there are a bunch of Lego Masters shows out there.
¶ Real-Time Translation: Babelfish Dreams and Bluetooth Schemes
And of course, they're all in their native language. And I'm like, wait, nobody. There have been people that have gone through and translated and made subtitles for, but it's like, fuck that, you can do audio now.
Why wouldn't you take well, one, if somebody wants to do the translation first, but why wouldn't you take if the technology is there to run a television program or whatever it is, maybe you're watching some kind of weird thing on Rumble and you're like, I don't understand with this Russian dude saying, why not have the technology that you can just flip a switch and get an instantaneous or near instantaneous translation of what you are listening to?
¶ Mini PCs vs Mac Mini: The Battle of the Tiny Titans
That would just be freaking awesome. Now, round three and the troll Roman, everybody get to the troll room. No agenda that stream. Like here's a mini PC better than a mac mini. And of course because it's got 96GB of Ram, what's this thing even cost? Here it is the ultimate AI, the AMD Ryzen chip. I'm guessing there's an Nvidia card somewhere in here because everything's got to have an video card.
These little mini boxes, now that they are making for the AI stuff, are just getting better and better and of course, more expensive, more expensive, more expensive, which is the one thing that the Mac still do better is, they're not as expensive, they don't take as much power. But yeah, they're they're quite a bit slower. It's a little bit slower.
But this little Mac mini being able to do the instantaneous voice creation and have it be pretty, I mean, if people weren't paying very close attention, I don't think anybody would notice the difference that not even the real G. Nobody would know. Well, they would, because they'd be like, wait, Jim seems a lot more likable lately. What's going on? How much is this little box here? 899 oh, you saved $230. This isn't even a Prime Day special.
So for 900 bucks, which is to be fair, I think that's about what this Mac mini cost, because it was the base chip, but it upped the memory to 24 gig and it up the hard drive space to a half terabyte. They start at 256 gig, which is just fucking ridiculous. Apple. But this thing has an AMD Ryzen I9HX3 70 with, an m2 hard drive, dual USB four ports, 2.5 gig Ethernet and Wi-Fi seven. That's nice. Oh, and copilot well, copilot man, nobody really wants copilot, but that's not a bad price, I suppose.
But there's no Nvidia there. Yeah, they got the AMD, the CPUs, the Ryzen card. There is no video card in this, is there? I mean, I don't see nothing listed here. That's usually what you need to do all the Cuda stuff in order to speed it up. Don't worry. Gene had to get his groceries. The show has gotten way better though. Now, before I see Brooklyn's like the Gene leave here instead of rage quitting though, he sued quit. Then he was probably like, oh, this looks good.
So he probably said, this looks good. I made himself some barbecued ribs or something.
¶ Proper English: Why Americans Speak Like 1776 and Brits Don’t
We're just looking at little mini pieces here, dude. Ribs, please. You're in Austin. You go out for that. You look like they've said. Time to do that. Come on. What are you. Yeah, because it takes like 24 hours to properly make ribs. Exactly what I was just saying, man, with all of these television shows that are in a foreign language, that would be the ultimate, is to just have a box that you could run it through real time that you don't even need to process. Watch the BBC. Them. Yes.
Oh, I see what's going on there. Yeah, yeah. With that, you know, they say things like, you know, lift when they mean elevator. You don't go to the, Ireland or the UK and say, how's your fanny? I mean, that's a totally different thing. Totally different thing in the UK. So if people are listening in the UK, they're like this motherfucker. But I think overall we speak proper English. Oh yeah, we, we see the real good with the English. We good we do. Wait, this is historically, more accurate.
There's been studies done and the English of the time that the United States, became independent is a lot closer to the English we speak, especially here in the South. Oh, yeah. When the South one man used to have that made then the current British English in the England. But their English is further away from where it used to be, back when our country separated. I believe that so the, the English you hear now is not what was actually spoken even 100 years ago. Now this thing's got an AMD card.
And so you need an Nvidia because AMD is the one that's like yeah we don't. For again, this is just odd that nobody has put the money in to really move the needle. You're in your Nvidia stock is in a much better place because they're the god. Yes.
¶ Stock Talk: Nvidia, Bitcoin, and the Volatility Olympics
It's the only ones doing this the that trillion. It is the most expensive company in the world right now. And it's all more expensive than Apple. More expensive them board than anything. Can you imagine all the people you know? There's a decent amount of people who jumped off in Nvidia, thinking, oh man, the whole desktop gaming thing is crashing. I'm getting out of this before it goes down. Yeah, yeah, they missed the whole AI and, crypto mining thing.
Look, their stock has always been volatile. Like, you go back five years, their stock was more volatile than others, and rightfully so. There's always opportunities because there will be a dip guarantee you that. But right now it's 166. And explain Bitcoin which is freaking soaring still today. Well of course it's soaring because they effectively we've now had an admittance that there is only one party in the United States. We are party. We are partying.
Well we're not I am going to keep going up, man. I'm like, everybody else is screwing children. That's what they don't I am that's really not within, within my little bubble. So I mean, if you if it's if it's something you're an expert on, then feel free to, expand a spatula. I mean, that sounded dirty. Just pop past. Yeah, and forget it. But we are talking about creators who can even prove though all of this stuff like hey man, there's a list, show me how do you know what's real.
If there really was something on paper because I've seen it okay.
¶ Epstein’s List, CIA Plots, and the Mandela Effect of Memory
Dershowitz he's the he's the guy, man. You better watch for the hot tubs in the small planes. These like I've seen it I've seen the list that I know why they're not releasing it. Did it. X somebody posted I repost reposted. It's like interesting interesting because remember he was at first accused of being one of the Epstein cohorts. Then somehow and by he by you mean all right. No I mean Alan Dershowitz. Okay. Who was originally accused. Right.
And is the only one that, I can tell as of this point that the woman that accused him of being a part of it went, oh, wait, I'm sorry, I think I, I think I confused him with somebody else. Now, allegedly because of that accusation, he was given access to these files, which I'm not sure I necessarily by 100%. But again I want to know if you. Well of course he was if you are being accused of a crime, you have the right to see the evidence against him.
He must examine the evidence so he knows what he says. He knows. Like I said, avoid hot tubs and small aircraft because the story is constantly changing, which I find funny, mainly from the fact that I think Dan Bongino is kind of a blowhard Dick. I voiced that, and before he was put into the position that he is with the FBI, he was like number one conspiracy theorist on things like, oh, you got to release the Epstein list. Oh, you got to release it all. It's real.
It's really about that constantly. And then now he's like, nope, doesn't exist. I can tell you it doesn't exist. But the funny thing then, for me is for the people that were with Bongino for the four years of you got to show us the Epstein list. Who believed him? Why do they not believe him now? What changed? You believe him do. It's an interesting thing. It's like, well with you, if you believed them then when there was no proof.
Now why wouldn't you believe him when he's seen behind the curtain? There's no way to know what is there and what's not there. I'm still kind of curious, as with a lot of the. And you can say that a lot of times criminals are just idiots. But if Epstein had a lot of this stuff, why would it be on unencrypted paper as opposed to encrypted, computers and hard drives that nobody would ever find?
Because let's understand that the encryption, you're missing the whole point, which is that you keep talking about it seem like he's some guy in a white van trying to lure kids with candy. No, he was in the white plain. Where? No, he was in the CIA. He was officially in the CIA for the last 20 years. He was a. Which is why I will never talk about it, because his operation was signed off and funded at the highest level. But then why did they talk about it to the point that they weren't
talking about it? Well, who talked about it? Obviously. Pam Bondi, obviously. Dan Mancino right. Well, they the I don't know, Pam Bondi I don't think talked about it before she got into office. The other guys talked about it before they got in office, like, damn Benzino and the Indian guy Patel and. Yeah. And they always because that was a common topic between them is I've been reposting all these clips like they were mad. They weren't on that list.
They, they kept getting asked questions about it. None of these people talked about it other than in the context of answering the question. They didn't just come out there and say, oh, by the way, you guys haven't asked about the, current status of the investigation and files. So, we just thought the way that they took it was always in response to a reporter's question, what was it at the time?
But Gina was the reporter, so he wasn't answering a question when he was on his show constantly, but that didn't. What I'm saying is, when he took a position, when he got his official position, other reporters were asking him the same questions he was asking previously that he now didn't want to answer because he needed to say, no, there is nothing. It's not a question of not wanting to answer. He can't say you can't. You might just get a bullet in your head immediately.
You can do whatever you want. But why? Everyone's so damn over dramatizing this. There's there's no threat to anybody. It's very simple, dude. It's a big threat. You get hired for a job, you're you're in a position that will generate you millions of dollars for the rest of your life, because once you get out of that position, you're going to write a book. It'll that'll be a couple of million right away.
And then you're going to be doing the CNN and the Fox talk show circuit and everything else, more so even than what you had previously. So the salary he's making is inconsequential. It's all the shit that happens after you've been in this position that generates money for you. You got this job, your first week there. They're like, so you're going to need access to classified data.
So obviously, you know, we'll do the background check and then raise your right hand and say the following, under threat of imprisonment or other punishment, I, you know, swear that I will not disclose classified information for the next blah, blah, blah 25 years or Hillary comes for me. All right.
And then over the course of the next six months, they're showing him more of the classified information, which shows you that the whole persona of Epstein is a false persona created by the agency in order to entrap certain people. It's why they put Ghislaine in jail. Them? Well, for her protection, frankly, part of why they put Epstein in jail is it's the same answer. Oh, no. I think the same reason they killed Osama bin laden.
They sometimes you just have to be the fall guy because none of these people are currently dead. Oh, you believe Epstein is out there still roaming around? I don't know about roaming, but I guess you have to be careful about roaming at this point. Yeah, yeah. No, look, there's a funny little eye video somebody did that I reposted the other day of the missing one minute segment from the video.
Is Epstein walking out of the cell, moonwalking, twirling around and, literally walking down the hallways and then getting into a van where he's going to be dropped off. Dude, seriously, you must of read enough political fiction of stories that included we need a body that kind of is five foot seven. Oh, yeah. You know, like this shit happens on a routine basis. If you need a dead body, you get a dead body. It's not that hard to do, but it's not the people who die every single day.
And you can apply any kind of Nicktoons or anything else you want to them after the fact, not to mention nowadays with all the AI crap, you don't even need a real body. But back in the day, certainly even five years ago, you did. It is not that hard to do so. No, I thought there was no missing video though that was only on something that they had that had enhanced the video and there was a minute missing from that, but there was no minute missing from the video thing. There is.
They also lost the video. And they said this back three, four years ago. They lost the actual camera of his cell. The video that we see, which is hilarious because somebody else did a, they took the the layout of that prison and then, drew the lines of where the camera could actually see and, and the camera could see the cell right next to Epstein's cell. But Epstein's cell isn't even in the video. Like his his cell.
It, you've probably seen something about this, I would assume, but the the only video left that they have, the one that they released, was shot from a security camera that was across the hall from where the cells were. So the two main doors you see in the video, neither one of those is Epstein's, his actual cell door is what is the furthest that you can see. But but and there's a door there that's like, across the whole hallway. But his actual cell is next to that door. Off camera.
The camera that was in the caddy corner of this camera on the other side. They lost that video that was accidentally raced like 3 or 4 years ago. Short, long. Their right. Well, I don't know if it was lost. It may have been lost. I mean lost includes being erased through that. That's part of kind of like our moon landing videos.
But the whole thing again, would be any information that was there for the people that are like, well, like Elon for one, they're not releasing it because Trump is implicated. Yeah, Trump is implicated. That was one of the things that I retweeted his name. That's all you have. Oh bullshit. Because the Democrats would have used it. They would have extracted it from whatever they had and they would have used it. So right there is proof that that's that's conjecture.
You should learn what the definitions of those words are. I killed Jeffrey Epstein, I acted alone. Wow, that sounds more like proof right there. That's that's like valid proof. Well, a whole lot more than well the Democrats would have done something in a, in a that simple. The Democrats could have also done a lot more other bad things which they didn't do. Why didn't they. Why, why don't we have harsher gun laws while Democrats had all three branches. But why didn't they codify abortion?
I mean, there's so many questions. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So you can't just say, well, the Democrats would have released something if they had them on Trump, but they were so hard of Trump hanging around Epstein. There's there's lots of over the period of about 11 years. This is not like well, he was at he showed up at Mar-A-Lago once and then they kicked him out. No no no no no, it's total bullshit.
You know how that started in 1992, going through the early two, thousands of those two hanging up, you know how it is with rich people. You hang out with them all the time and don't anymore, but they don't let you your way either. One. They're like, no way out here. A lot of video of it. And it's what's inconsistent is how Trump pretends like he's barely heard of who this Epstein character is. Well, of course that's what you do when you want to belittle somebody, you know, for instance.
I'm sure I'm sure he'll be saying the same thing about, Elon. Yeah, I barely I probably spent ten minutes with Elon. Who was that guy? Doesn't he. Doesn't he run some website? Isn't that what he's gonna do? You work for China. He works for China. Right at the end of no agenda yesterday, they were running the, just too good old boy show. And and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's Darren and Gene. So I just let, let dude name bang bang bang know that he's been replaced. So you may want to let him know.
Yeah, it's all over. It's all over. But the shouting. No, this is how things change. And people will be like, oh, I know, I heard that no two good old boys. That's not Gene and bad. No, no Adam Curry. No, you guys are wrong. See, this is this is the Mandela Effect, right? Like, how do you know what is true. And this I think well frankly that is a little embarrassing because number of times that Ksbw has sent in donations to you know that mentioned that show and who's on it.
To Adam and Tina's podcast. I like to go, oh, boy. So we got to get to can we have, like, six seconds of your voice, please? Come on now. Here we go. You said he's going to be made public. I know, I think CCP's voice has always been.
¶ Mega Bills and Political Thrills: The Art of Legislative Junk Drawers
I am pretty sure that's the, the way it is worked. But I think this is a serious problem in the psyche. And things like the Jeffrey Epstein story are now greatly affected by the fact that there are plenty of people that understand that video could be very convincingly brought out of nothing, or edited audio the same way the the concept that somebody might have a black book, it's like, well, how do you know that's the black book? Or how do you know what's inside?
Was that was what was in there? Yeah. You're hitting them on my other point, which is it's semantics. And when it comes to legal language, it is all about precision. And so what I noticed is if you watch videos, during the Biden era, all the references to Epstein, we're not about a list. They were about a book. Right? A white thing that that this year. Well, yeah, this year, everything.
Ever since, Trump came in is always all the quotes, all the news reports have been about an Epstein list, right? There's a list of clients or whatever they call it. So could there be a list in a book and they could technically say there is no list because it's not a separate document?
Absolutely. Well, I didn't think that Pam Buckley's original response was that far out of left field for what she's saying she meant, because you were being asked about a lot of things, and this is where I hate the and fucking because everybody does it when it's like, oh, she was asked, well, are you going to release the Epstein list? And she's like, hey, all that stuff's on my desk. For me to look at. That doesn't mean I saw a fucking list. It's like all of this stuff is there.
Give me time to look at it. And people are going to go from no agenda to Glenn Beck on down the line. No, no, there's he admitted that. He said it wasn't. It's like, no, it's not, not what was said. Now could she be lying? Sure. But that's not you can't use that if that's all you got. Is that that response in that question, then it's like he got nothing because people don't know what words mean. You see this all the time.
I would normally agree with you, but she's a lawyer and that's not how lawyers speak. I think it is. Right. Let me just remind you, Sunny Hostin, the fucking lawyer. I mean, there are some really fucking stupid lawyers who are not eloquent at all. So. All right. Well, fair enough. I'm dealing with lawyers literally every single day, so you must love them. And, Yeah, they're wasting your time, Gene. It's all about specific, precise speech. Are you hoping to get a better room in the jail?
Is that what you're really trying to get right now? In the caviar guy? Access to your caviar guy jeans? Like. Oh, okay. I'll confess, but I might. You really need access to my caviar guy. I have to get my tea delivered. All the. I don't know why I was voted most likely to end up in prison in high school. By how many people? Everybody. The teachers by. Yeah. Look at Jim. Look at everybody else. Yep. These are bad seed.
But hey, look, the area you lived in is now been taken over by the Somalis, so it has completely. Yeah. It is a very weird thing. And I'm fine with people coming to the United States, but it's just weird when, like, an area like that kind of seems to it's like the, Chinatowns and all that. It's like, hey, you don't have to do you don't have to be a genius to understand that it's probably not a positive thing to basically have little clicks, all living, you know, in one little area.
It's what's weird to me anyway. They don't assimilate right? So it's like, this is what you're thinking, sleeper cell man. This is literally why if you've seen the reports, LA traffic is perfect. Now everything is green. Green. You know, like there's no slowdowns. The streets never know. It's all green. If you look at the map, it's like L.A. all of a sudden doesn't have traffic. Why is that? Because the illegals are gone. Everything opened up. That's it. There's really. Oh, that's hilarious.
But then you go to the dry walling vans, all the painting vans, all the food service, everything is gone. You go on to Drudge and the headline literally within the last 24 hours was, there's really no deportations going on. Like, well, then why is everybody gone? And what are you getting so upset about? Christ left so pissed off of there really aren't ejecting millions of people. What are they so pissed about? What have they got?
Oh, you remember you last episode because it was two weeks ago, before the 4th of July. You said the big beautiful bill would never get passed. Oh, it got passed. Well, that's a half. That's a half pass. I mean, it got passed with a lot of shit removed. Well, this is how it always works. And I think they're now going to go after a lot of the shit that was added in that they didn't want.
It's still my biggest pet peeve with government is the mega bills, rather than, hey, if you're going to make a law about smoking, whatever you're making the law about, right? That should be the only thing in that bill. No members. This is why we had a, line item veto was created right for that same reason is because they put together a bill that includes, like increasing sentences for, you know, murders and the tax on soda. Right, right. It's like, what? What how is that in the same bill?
Does it make any sense? Well, it look, it makes sense completely from their perspective because the way you create these bills, if you want to get 51% to vote for the thing that you want, if you do it by yourself, first of all, the other party will always vote against you, which means you get like it's only going to pass if you have like 3 or 4 people don't flip, right. You got to convince them not to flip, right? Well, I want my soda bill to pass.
Well, I'll vote for it if you vote for my anti-gun bill. Right. I'm like and then the other person is like, well, I'll vote for it. If you vote for my program, bill. Right. It's not like, you know, no, Jean, I don't want to move the show to, Wednesdays at 8:00. But if you buy me a new Mac studio. Okay. That's what's going on. It's all the pay offs. It is what a compromise. Me. It doesn't have to be in the negative context.
But the point is usually is it's a lot easier for them to create these omnibus bills than it would be to have a whole bunch of little bills of which half would fail to pass. Oh, on their own, no doubt at least. Yeah, these people damn well no. That's insane. Well, yeah, but if we put it in with these 8000 other things. Right, right. Which is why, one of the outcomes of this bill was supposed to have been getting rid of the National Firearms Act, the big bill to beat all other bills.
Yeah. And, you know, when that got in, I predicted that there's no way that's going to stay and that too many Democrats are against it. So that when that got to the Senate, do you remember the controversy? Because it wasn't a senator, it was the Senate parliamentarian who was brought in by Democrats, and the Republicans didn't bother replacing that person.
The Senate parliamentarian said, no, this bill has to be only about taxes, and therefore you can't actually get rid of a law that was created as a standalone law. The that was what she said.
The reality is she's full of shit because this got challenged and went all the way up to the Supreme Court in the 1930s, I can't remember was 35 or 37 or whatever, but it was sometime in the 1930s, National Firearms Act, which is the act that prohibits, you and me from owning fully automatic weapons or silencers or, rifles with short barrel. Right? Yeah, that ain't American, man. That ain't free. That already went to the Supreme Court in the 1930s, almost 100 years ago.
And the Supreme Court said that this is unconstitutional. But the arguments were made that this is not a prohibition, therefore it is constitutional. It is merely a tax. So you can tax firearms and you can even theoretically tax free speech. There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't have a tax on free speech. It would work the exact same way. Or a government tax, publications that could be, a thing as well. So under the same kind of mentality.
So the Supreme Court basically said, given that it's a tax and you're simply collecting money in that bill, then it's not unconstitutional. And it's been around now for almost a hundred years or actually, yeah, it might be over 100. Well, around a hundred years. And what they did in this, this, final version of the VBE that they passed, they left everything in, but reduced the dollar amount of the tax to $0, which used to be $200. And then they lowered it from 200 zero.
So literally two days later, Joey, Gun Owners of America filed a lawsuit, which hopefully will end up going all the way up to the Supreme Court. It should. Which exactly says that. Given that this was simply a tax on firearms, when you reduce the tax to 0%, then all the other elements of that bill of the NFA should be moot. Like they should go away, because the only reason that bill was allowed to be constitutionally accepted was because it was a tax right.
If it's at zero rate, it is no longer tax. And all the other requirements, which includes fingerprinting, photos, all the biometric stuff cannot be applied if the tax is zero. The only reason they were allowed is under the argument of this is proof that you paid the tax. Okay, well, if I don't have to pay the tax and you don't need my goddamn fingerprints or your picture or your DNA. Anything, you don't need anything because it's all about that information. Grab. Exactly. So now the original.
I think we can all agree. Looking back on the original bill, the NSA essentially is what came out of the, the final version of the bill, but that it started as simply a prohibition on firearms. The intent was very much to just, you know, we're sick of criminals having guns. Let's just make guns illegal for anybody to have. And that way criminals, won't have them either. It's that stupidest argument right in the world.
Was actually what was, tried to be passed, and thankfully there was enough pushback against it that the compromise was okay.
Well, if you're not going to if we can't get 51% to agree, or it may have even been two thirds back then, I don't know how many people voted for it, but if we can't get a majority to agree on outright banning guns, if we think that that's going to be challenged in the courts, for the constitutionality, then at the very least, let's make the tax really freaking high, which means no criminals ever going to pay it. And therefore all criminals that we find with a gun

will also have this additional charge for having a gun, because $200 is the same amount that was passed almost a hundred years ago. So in today's money, that was equivalent to about $5,000 per gun. It's like one trip to the sushi guy. Oh, actually less. That's a lot more than one. You down, get some sushi? Yeah. Oh, this time over by grand plates. What are you drinking, like LA today? Yeah.

Severed lime. I almost felt bad yesterday because of, Prime Day. We've got something. The wife drinks some of this really cheap stuff. Refresh or something. But my dad is, he's ornery and he doesn't like to drink regular water. And the only thing we get him to drink are these things there.
The hint water, which is purified water with just a little bit of taste. And they charge for, like, the bottles. Now at the grocery store, like a buck 67, you know, like the 16 ounce bottle. It's crazy because it's water. But the, when you can get the cases for under, a buck, but not the cases, but the bottle in the case, they're 12 when you can get it for under 12 bucks, we'll order them. And of course, Amazon had them on sale for like $9.50. So I ordered 12 cases.
Oh, my God. The, girl showed up with them last night at my parents house, and I was like, it's a small, like, girl. And, well, she was grabbing them two at a time, like you would think they'd have, a dollar for that kind of stuff, I guess. Why? No, that's taking up valuable Amazon space and true. True. And slowing you down to take that out. But at least they were watching. And so she opened up the, garage, put it right in the garage,
gave the girl a tip, but she's like, no, nobody ever does. No. But it's like, well, of course, Amazon basically made you do it because it's like, if they weren't on sale, you wouldn't have bought it. But they make the big deal, like, oh, it's on sale. It's big sale, big sale. It's a go. You see, the news that, reported that Amazon sales are down for Prime Day sales. Yeah, it's like 40%. 46%. I'm. Oh, sure, I buy that, I do.
I didn't order a damn thing this year. Last year I ordered a whole bunch of stuff. Well, the first year or so it was products that you were aware of from companies you were familiar with. Yeah. There are no companies are familiar with Left and Amazon. It's all like gobbledygook. Lee Industries very bizarre names obviously. You know, it's all just Chinese crap. Oh yeah. Yep. And it's also it has become, the time of year where these companies release products.

¶ Support the Show! Bitcoin, PayPal, and the Value-for-Value Hustle
I don't know how many you sell, but the minute Prime Day's over, you put them up at 500 bucks and hope that all the reviews that people go, hey, for 200 bucks, this was fucking great. Yeah. Well, and there's some, like, monitors, like crazy cheap right now. Computer monitors. I know I don't need any more. I don't either, I don't either. But I look at the prices, I'm like, how can how do they make money when they sell a 24 inch monitor?
And I remember my first 24 inch monitor I bought for about $900. Oh yeah. Easy. Yeah, it is now $99. Jesus. And they way, way less. So they're easier to schlep around. Yeah. Well, if you have to carry them around with you. Well, just getting it, you know, out of the box and putting it on your desk, like back in the day that used to be like, 35 pound monitor, you know, not easy to handle now.
In fact, I have two of them that are not plugged into anything that have just been sitting on a monitor stand now for over a decade, because I don't really feel like, you know, Yankee, I'm and throwing them in the trash because they're fucking heavy. They're literally they may not be 35, but they're they're certainly over 20 pounds. Yeah, I remember when a buddy sent me a 27 inch CRT that he no longer wanted, and that thing weighed like 100 pounds. Maybe more.
I'm looking here my first 2520 seven inches was the family TV size. For many years I ordered a Samsung touch of color T two 60s 25.5in LCD monitor on May 7th, 2009 from Amazon. Yeah, no, that was a pretty good deal. 384 that's pretty cheap for back then. I know I've spent a lot more there. I also bought an HP 24 inch. This one looks like it was higher resolution. That was a week later. Okay, now remember the Samsung sucks so bad. I went to the HP and that was $554. So that much today?
Man, that'd be the other way around. Oh yeah. Well, it's just depending on the panels that were in more than the brand at that point. But in the hybrid, right in the product, title 1920 by 1200. Man. That's good. It is good. And I don't know how we all ended up shrinking our resolution because we went from 1920 by 12, which is, incidentally, the resolution of the two monitors that I don't use that are still sitting here. Nice. But we went from 1920 by 1200 to 1920.
By 1080, we lost 800 pixels. Yeah. It was what the movie people were doing. It's bullshit. I was like, I don't give a shit about the movie people. I'm a computer people I want taller. I wish this fucking thing was like almost a square. That would be even better. And that's why I ended up flipping the monitors on the side. Eventually. That makes sense. That makes it through here. I got a couple of refurbished Dell 19 inchers back in 2017, and they're all from Amazon. I look what where they there.
And by the way, 55 bucks g that has a completely square monitor you can buy now. Oh yeah. It's a 1 to 1 ratio. Let's look at that. But these are side monitors that I'm running here. These are the the three monitors set up I have I bought those in November of 2017. They were refurbished for 55 bucks apiece. Still going strong. But the beauty of technology. But now for 55 bucks I could probably get one the size of the wall behind. Yeah, yeah. Exactly like damn. And it'll weigh half as much.
That's even better. That's even better. It is. And you're right. You only have to screw with it once when you first take it out of the box. But even still, it just makes it easier to do that because my main monitor that I use is, it's a 43 inch gaming monitor, so it's still pretty thick. It costs 144Hz. It's a high refresh rate, high brightness, blah, blah, blah.
But like, the monitor on my Mac is just a super thin Samsung that's probably well under an inch, probably like two thirds or even a half an inch thick. This gaming monitor is like an inch and a half to two inches thick, and weighs 2 or 3 times more. You gotta have more than that. But yeah, well. But it's same resolution for both monitors. They're both 43 inch, 4K monitors different. And that'll tell you on the PC. Yeah, yeah.
The Samsung is just a standard old cheapo, same resolution and, you know, 60Hz refresh rate, standard, whereas the other one is a high refresh, high brightness monitor. But let's understand, as long as you are sitting right in front of the monitor, you get by with a much cheaper panel. A lot of what you're getting is, oh, you can see it really well from the side. Like with the big TVs, the all the other huge

I'd be like, fuck yeah, this is cool. This is what it should be. Yeah. This is exactly what it should be. But it works. It just damn well works. And it's at the beginning still, so I can only imagine it getting better. I just need to get better.
And I didn't get it to a point where it's real time, where you can literally like, as we're doing this show, you can type something in, hit enter it, have it, then have it, read it out loud the way you can.

Mac mini has 24 gigs of Ram, which every video card has less except for the top end 4090, which I think is 32. And maybe I've got 24 gigs in mind. There are. Well, the 24 started with what the. So that would be with the 30, 30, 90, 30, 80. But it has to be 3080 has I think 39 either. I think the 80 has 16, if I remember it. That sounds about right. Yeah. We used to be back in the day 16 used to be overkill. I know people nowadays it's barely enough.
People are wanting like 32 or more. Even if you want to run large language models and I it wants to put a lot of stuff in memory, which makes sense. Yeah, I think Linus did, one of his episodes where they created a, a Frankenstein video card where they soldered more memory. Oh, yeah, I think they bought it from, like, Alibaba or one of them. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this is where I mean, the max there have been the videos of the people that bought.

But everybody could still tell. Could they. Could everybody tell? All right, I'm pretty sure.
What about the people that just read the transcripts? Okay. Well, then not everybody this would be. It's like they don't get words wrong. That's the beauty of the eye. Nobody ever stumbles on a word. Yeah, yeah, that's how you know it's.
I mean, so, I mean, if they add that in, this is going to have to be a part of the realism I add on, would be that every now and then you have to, like, stutter a little or get a word wrong and like a slider that says, how many ums would you like inserted exactly? Or breaths like, he had to add those in. It's all very interesting stuff though, because that's way better than I thought.
One of the best I voices I heard recently as I was looking for some AI voice stuff for my, gaming channel, was an Asmr AI voice, and it was extremely realistic, sounding like you could not tell that that was AI. I would think that might actually be easier because of the way the MSR is presented. Yeah, yeah, because it's breathy cats. Yeah, it all show that way. Oh, good. Oh, I love it.
But using that voice by just having it reach it that's tape is like that totally sounds like you have another person on the podcast whose only job is to do that. Now, if you were to take some of these MSR audio, I'm assuming that would train the AI to read in that style. Well, I don't know. I mean, this was already created. But even better, if it was, I. Yeah, I saw somebody posted that YouTube is trying to get rid of the all the crap videos and like what? I don't even know how you can do that.
There are some people that are just so bad at what they do that they're going to assume. It's like, I, I understand the ones that are going to take the regurgitated same video, which you see all the time now, where if you're doing research on certain things, you'll open up like five different videos, like for a product review. And they're all the exact same video, just with different voices and the. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But it seems like YouTube, they're trying to get rid of the AI.
There's Amazon is trying to get rid of the AI written books. I'm like, I don't know how you can do this because there's no way to prove that it's AI. Now, if somebody buys a book and it sucks or they turn on a video and it sucks, you could do the down there. Thumbs down for YouTube. With Amazon, you could return it. You can complain and be like, this is garbage. But I don't know how you can try to filter things and know how how they were created and why.
Using AI for a tool again, somebody like Ryan, Demerol, Moroz if he's going to as a human or even with AI, help write a script for a podcast which is accurate, succinct, that makes sense. It flows. Yeah. And then you use an AI voice to perform it. Why would there be a problem with that? Yeah, that's another voice you should play around with while you're testing your thing is, grab some Brian Brushwood. Brushwood. He's got a distinct voice like, hey, I'm going to have you read my audiobook.
Brushwood. Thank you very much. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you. Very well. No, it's not what you say. What you say is I'm going to have somebody. It sounds very similar to. Right. But not you. Therefore, I don't need to pay. You read my value. But this again is going to raise big questions about what kind of rights people have, you know, to their voiceprint. And at this point you have none. Yeah. Well, that's not true.
¶ Snake Tales: Regret the Python and Shower Shenanigans
That's not true. It's it's more of a question of have you made it public? And if you have really what can you do? Because you can't trademark a voice. You can't copyright a voice. So what is the truth? Something I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I know I watched a video by a professional voice artist like people that, you know, back in the day before, I used to read a few books. Right. The ones at The High are like big bucks. Yeah, yeah.
The people that you would actually be paying, like, you know, 100 bucks a minute to read something. And this, this woman was talking about how her voice is registered and anybody that is going to attempt to use her voice, would be great for her because she's going to get a pay that it's even higher than what you normally charge. So I, I think there is a way to actually say that, you know, my voice, is owned by my company and, you know, I don't know the process.
I never looked into it, but does it exist? I I'm pretty sure it does, because the way she was talking, this seems to be a standard thing for people that make a living doing voiceovers or used to is that they would actually have a, their voices be recordings of their voices or, you know, their specific analysis, whatever it is, something be registered and therefore protected under, copyright. Do. Interesting. There's a couple of state laws, including Illinois. Really?
Illinois has a Biomet information like Privacy Act. Cool. It offers protection if the voice data is unique enough to identify a person. You're so in trouble. Thanks for looking that up for us. You're welcome. Genes going back. You're going right here. Now. Going. Doesn't matter how much of these lawyers you're talking to every day, you're like, hey, you want to make a little money out of this side? Yeah, right. And it's one of these things though, the, the the rates are out of control.
I can't talk about what I'm doing, but I could tell you $1,200 an hour. Lawyers like to charge more. They do. That's 1200 bucks out. And then, if you need to have your, if you get a subpoena for your email, the other companies that that do that. Right. So they will take care of essentially logging into your account, making a backup copy of all your email, and then doing keyword searches on the specific topics within the lawsuit.
And, the cost for that is in the neighborhood of $10,000 per about 20,000 emails. Now, do you like a lot? Well over 100,000 emails because most of it is spam, right? So that would be like 60 to $80,000 by law. Do you have to give access to something like this if you're involved? So it's like there is a subpoena direct to you to provide copies of any documents that are in your possession, and I'm assuming they have to know about the email address.
What do you mean that if they don't know the address, it's a generic subpoena. It just says your email that if you don't give them access to the secret email, what happens? Now, if you're doing it like where if you're having a business relationship, usually work related, right? Most people don't get sued personally. It's usually going to be like a company suing another company. And so your email is your business email, not your personal email.
Unless unless you've had business topics done through your personal email. And then everything's fair game. Yeah. That's right, Billy Bones is like Hillary and all those bathrooms, bathroom, email servers. Yeah. Plus the lady said she was. What do you think she was doing? Shit. So for a normal person, if you were to do that, if you were basically got a subpoena for them and then you just went and deleted them, I was like, yeah, I got nothing to do with it. That's multiple felonies.
Now, doing something like that could literally take you from being a white collar criminal into hanging out in, Gitmo, alligator Gitmo for, a few years. Hey, if you like the heat, though, alligator Gitmo. It's the place to be. It's like a vacation. I like the, this is some perplexity. Practical steps to protect your voice. Limit public voice exposure. Too late.
Yeah. You know, that's the thing is, once you've released it without those specific, like, if you ever listen to an audiobook that's done by a professional audiobook reader, right? And then you know and say in the beginning read by blah, blah, blah, blah, but what you're not usually bothering to listen to is all the crap at the end, which will tell you that that voice is actually protected. This is where it also tells you to be cautious with unknown callers. Never speak first to unknown numbers.
And also, don't you. There's a better advice I can give. Never answer a number that doesn't have a name that you recognize. No. And that's what I do, my old fashioned phones which we still have.
¶ Movie Tangents: Fast Times, Crazy Chicks, and Top Ten Plane Rides
Well they're not really old fashioned because they're voice over IP. The only time the phone rings is if somebody is in the book that is in the little, in the log there. Otherwise it goes right to voicemail. Although it says don't even use a prerecorded, they'll use the prerecorded voicemail. Don't use your voice because that's enough.

Anytime somebody gets a new phone or reloads the app, it says, blah, blah, blah number is no longer valid. Do you want to reconfirm a new number? I can't remember what the number is, but it's essentially like you have to a long code means. Yeah. Through a means other than signal, confirm with the other person that it's the same number.
So nobody's intercepting anything. So you have no man in the middle. Yep. Because those are a real thing. Yeah. And see I this is why when the whole thing came out with signal it's like oh they're using some third party app that's insecure and could get hacked. And there's somebody listening. Oh that's why it's all bullshit. Is it.
You know I was recreated that situation very quickly and easily and demonstrated that the only way that some reporter could have ended up on a phone call was if one of the people that was genuinely invited on the phone call had invited the reporter, which I don't think was the question, it was somehow the reporter's contact information, I'm guessing phone number was underneath somebody else's name in that person's phone, which would be a great way to fuck somebody for what, you know, like JCD
thinks it's funny when he takes somebody following the changes at the German, somebody can take your phone and signal. I don't remember a signal lift that requires any biometrics or anything, or maybe signals already running on your find us. But if you could go with option, it's a setting, you know, if you can go in and add a contact with somebody phone number and just change the name. Yeah, you could really have some fun with people. Oh, sure. Absolutely.
But the problem was and they did address it. Signal did fix this after but not before. Is that back then you could literally get any of the members of a group call, could add another person without any notifications showing up for anybody else. So you could have you could like get on the call. It's got four people on signal that you all recognize. You start talking. You're not looking at the damn screen for an hour, right? Right. Usually you put the phone down, the screen turns off.
Anyway, somebody else has got into the chat. If you're doing this on your computer, even. Yeah, but meanwhile somebody could be adding another person and it made no noise. All right. And it popped up. No message it somebody was added to this list of 20 people. What's one more. Yeah. Whereas if you do the similar thing on zoom, when a new person pops up, first of all, you see it on the screen immediately.
And generally you can't just have somebody come in by themselves without the administrator having to, quote, let them in or whatever the buttons called to accept the new person that just showed up. So that is one thing that they were lacking. And they did. They have fixed it since. So now you can absolutely. When you create a group, as in that mean you can have the option that says don't admit anybody without the admins consent, which would make sense.
That should have been there from the beginning. Yeah. You should not be able to sneak somebody else into a private chat without at least sending up the fireworks like nobody added. Somebody added, somebody added yeah. TSB boosting again, he says ask Gene to tell a funny story about his pet snake so I can create a song and music video like I did about Larry's dog moose. My music videos are available at exit CSB, just three letters CSB I don't know. A funny story about the snake.
There's one that I've told before where, where I realized the snake learned how to open doors. Right. That was pretty interesting. It turned out of the shower. No, it. Yeah, well, that was excellent. Shirley, unfortunately, accidentally turned on the shower, but the door opening, I think that actually learned. I don't think that was accidental, because what it figured out is that if it crawls up the door and then puts its head over the doorknob, which is just a round doorknob, right?
It doesn't have a lever. And then just start crawling further down. That will through friction, get the, the doorknob turned enough to be able to then pull the door open so it can crawl through there. And that's I mean, that's fine. I don't mind that. It's, it's generally like the snake sleeps for like, 23.5 hours a day. It's that crawling. Yeah, it it's a slim amount of time that it that it's not asleep. And so but when it's not asleep it could potentially open the door and get out of the room.
But usually the only thing it's going to do if it opens door, it gets out of the room is just crawl right up to the next door, which is the bathroom, and then crawl into the bathtub because it wants to take a shower or, you know, as far as it's concerned, it's just sitting, waiting for rain. Christ rains in this little area a lot. Yeah, it only rains in that one little area. And it knows.
It has definitely learned over the years that if it wants to get wet, take, take a bath, drink, water, whatever, you just got to crawl over to that little area and, and, and it doesn't do this all the time, but sometimes, I'll walk in the bathroom and it's real close to my office here. And the snake is just sleeping in the bathtub. So it crawled to the bathtub. It wasn't raining because obviously I didn't know the snake was in there. Shower was not going to be on all the time.
And then it just like the thought, okay, I'm just going to wait here till it starts raining. And then eventually some magic happens and you turn the shower. Yeah, exactly. Although I would recommend you did mention there have been a couple times, thankfully only like two where I've, I've noticed, like, wait a minute, sounds like the shower sound. And I didn't turn it on.
And I walk in there and sure enough, the the bathtub is almost overflowing because the shower has been turned on and the, you know, snake is sitting there, the bathtub full of water, and you're like, I don't want this to happen when I'm not home. Exactly, exactly. So that that's generally why the only time I leave the snake in the bathroom, even if it's asleep by itself, is if I'm at home and I'm not too far away so I can hear if the water gets turned down.
Because what I don't want to do is find out the water got turned on by having a leak downstairs, because this is upstairs, we'll just redo a deep purple smoke on the water. Do, snake in the water? It would be a great song. Snake in the water? Yeah. Or if you don't want to use that, use this. CSB. I used to ride my recumbent bike, my recumbent bike, my recumbent bike. I used to ride my recumbent bike all over town until Adam Curry told me it was gay. Yeah, I said that to him.
He's like, oh, it was so gay. But man, I like this voice calling. I still can't believe that he thought my bike was gay. When he's riding around on a bicycle with a basket in front of the handlebars. Well, that's very common over in the land, isn't it? You got to have a mask land. You gotta put your little biscuits in there. Literally. A woman's bike in the basket. Was there fringe on the basket? Was it wicker? There was flowers in the basket. Oh, well, very, very delightful.
Look, there's some, artwork right there. CB2 from that show, from the hero. That bike either. I think we both row our bikes about to say my almost zero. No, I have more than zero, but, not daily, that's for sure. Because I remember when he first got that bike, he was all, you know, excited about it, reminded him of his childhood. And he was a guy. Oh, it's great. I can ride my bike anywhere. I don't know that he did it. It's one thing I will say.
Adam and I do have become both kind of homebodies. Yeah. He doesn't. If he doesn't need to go somewhere, he won't leave the house. Yeah, I'm that way. Yeah, yeah. Like we can remember I talked to him after, I think it was, I don't know, maybe last year, this time of year or something. But I remember Tina was on a trip to Chicago or something, but he was home for four days by himself. Let's talk. You know what I was like. So, you know what? Would I have left the house in four days?
And it's glorious. Is awesome. Yeah, exactly. It's like you got. I could go outside and ride a bike, but I've got one inside. Why would I? And then, I mean, to be fair, I guess he does go for walks with their dog and stuff. Phoebe. But, you know, I was there when they first met the dog. But he doesn't realize is the dog is his handler right now, right? The dog is red in the episode. Yes. Exactly right. The dog is running. No dog is doing a fine job of living there. The secrets are right at hand.
It's all bullshit. And it's all just so much wasted time. So I understand to a certain extent the all we want to have answers, but it's like, okay, what are the answers going to do for you in the grand scheme of things, we don't want any for anything for like the the people that are like really obsessed now about it. Like really okay.

Who cares. Like you're live your life, do what you gotta do. Probably people that don't like it. Pet owners care. Yeah, but that is a also a case of not understanding language. And that was talked about. I no agenda yesterday as well and was fun to watch. The troll room, especially at the time because the Epstein thing and I get it, the guy was a fucking creep. But the like, oh, world's most, notorious pedophile. Like he was tied to like 15, 16 year old girls, right? Not like four year olds.
And I think more like 1617. Right. 15, 16 I'm just going to be fair. I'm thinking I was the lowest dad, but it's like there's been this other bit that most Americans have no clue that other countries have other laws. Right. Well, other people that know other states have other laws. That's true too. That's true as well. But like right now Bahama law is 18, but it hasn't always been 18 is the age of consent. It used to be 16. I think some states still have 15. I could be wrong. Yeah, yeah.
And I remember years ago back when I was working or staying in Costa Rica, the it's like 1415. Yeah. I mean it's insane dude. It was it was uncomfortable being at a strip club. I give a badge. I'm literally seriously, it's just like I don't the two young. I don't need to see that. It's two young teens. Do you do young? You want you want them to be old lady strip club. Oh, come over here. Yeah. That 23 year olds. I want the old thing. The strip club please. They take you to the 80 it up.
Broken hips jeans like. Oh this is more my speed. No it's definitely more your speed or or my other co-host speed. We talked about that with the photos. Jesus. Don't be sending me photos of like 48 year old women. What the. I don't said you any photos. But unless he's doing it that not like it did it? I could have sworn it was you. Was it that you. The only one I accept was a link to the story about the chick you sat next to on the plane. Okay, that was all I said cavalierly. That was it.
I haven't said anything else. I thought you wanted to see what she was up to. You could have had a part of that action. No. No, no. Here. Oh, let me scroll back. I'll tell you what I may. Oh, I'm curious now. Maybe it was cotton gin. You could have thought it was. It was dude named Ben named Ben. I don't do that. The only thing I didn't. Ben only sends stupid photos. I mean, the guy he's got, he's a smart dude, but he's got, like, the the, he is like, Beavis and Butthead. Yeah, yeah.
No, that's not a weird voices to clone. That's that. That would be an easy voice. I think. Shut up like Beavis. Come on. Beavis. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like you're, like, dumb or something. Yeah. Dumb or something. Yeah, yeah. Who is this? He sent this. Darren O'Neil sent it. Look at that. It's the one thing. Kristin Cavallari, she sat next to you on the plane. She's 38. Dude, sending me photos of 38 year olds. You could have had that. You could have been all in on that.
I talked to her for the whole flight. Dude. She wanted the full jean experience. She wanted to buy an e-ticket. She wanted to get away from you as fast as the racing of women I've sat next to on my flights. She was not in the top ten. Okay. I'm just picturing you having a physical top ten list and filling it out, letting the girl next you could see what you're doing. She was looking over like okay. Yeah. I mean, it could be you're like, third, not that hard. It's not that hard today.
Did I always sit in the same seat in the plane? So it's kind of a standard thing. And generally it's either going to be another dude my age or it I think that that's, that's a deal breaker. Oh, no. I had a great conversation with the guy. I thought, you shouldn't talk about this. So I, I my last, my millionaire to Seattle was. Yeah. The guy that that the head of engineering at, one of the chip companies at, the one that makes all the chips. What are they called?
They're the ones that actually made the Apple chip before Apple took over updating it, I believe. The hell is that company called? I don't know, I didn't take my B12 to it. Yeah, well, it's, Anyway. So cool. Dude. Oh, we had a wonderful conversation that we ended up talking most of the flight. And he was heading to Seattle to go sailing for a month, and he was never seen or heard from again. No, no, he.
I got a message email from like a week ago saying that, when he's, you know, back and caught up with work and everything get together, people are wondering if the CEO chooses to, keep you alive during a plane crash or if there are other reasons. Yeah, I in case I need to jump out in the parachute, I need to be very conveniently located. Oh, you got the D.B. Cooper thing going on? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing weird about somebody getting out that plane with some parachute in your carryon, usually, no, but now I think about it. It's not a bad idea, but. Yeah, like. Well, everybody, this fucking thing's going down. Gotta go. All right?
¶ Stereotypes and Satire: Jews, Amish, and the Pie-Baking Rumspringa
Yeah, I'm out of here, dad. Enough. Had enough fun. Now, what do they look at? You kind of. Will they even let you? I know there's a lot of things that are not a lot. You put a lot of weight on your back. And did you bring a parachute onto a jumbo jet? I want to know. Or are they like, no, that's like a knife for a box, dude. Of course you can't because you might be flying to go to go diving right? Yeah, yeah. Or you maybe they want to dive, right?
Right. This I know from personal experience they won't let you bring compressed, CO2 bottles or probably compressed anything. Probably compress anything. Yeah. That's true. Which is funny because they let me bring it flying from here to Mexico. They would not let me bring it from Mexico back to the U.S. Maybe they didn't know what it was. No, they knew exactly what it was and said, no, this is prohibited.
You know, different countries apparently have different rules for airplanes with blowing up airplanes. Yeah, it's like it's just fair game here. But here. No, no, Austin's like yeah, whatever. Austin's great. Dude. You don't have to take your shoes off. You don't have to take any of your crap out of the bags. They've got the super high end brand new machines that scan everything. Everything. It's great. Yeah. Now, see, as being one matter. What do you say I driven there like I scanners.
DSB wants to know now the name of your snake. That sounds very sexual. Name of the snake. Do you have a name for it? Just call it snake. Yeah. Snake. Tick tick tick tick tick. Okay, great. Yeah. Sounds very mythical. It's a tiger from Winnie the Pooh. Tiger? Well, no, it's it's in the translated English versions. Oh, in the original, it's too quick to do something about terrorism because I'm the only one.
So. Yeah. And then the reason for that is because the speech stripes tiger reticulated python two, does it hang about with the little teddy bear named Pooh? And that would be funny, right? That's why that would be it. The snake just carries it around. I'm looking for somebody please. Yes. You know I would love to have a pet bear. That would be so awesome. I've, I've watched a lot of videos and I've posted a lot of videos and alerts of pet bears.
But unfortunately there's one minor requirement to having a pet bear is you have to live in Russia. Yeah. You can't live in Austin. No you can't. They don't let you have pet bears here. The snake is one thing. A black bear. They're like, no. Nope nope nope nope. But they're they're awesome. Dude, I like I've played with with small bears and stuff back in Russia, but, you can't. I'm here. Well, there are really no bears that as adults are at like thousands of pounds, right?
I mean, what's the smallest dog in there? About 450 pounds. It's still pretty big. It's about twice as big as the biggest dog. Yeah, which isn't horrible, I guess when you compare that way. As far as food cost it, he'll he'll basically eat the equivalent of, you know, 12 to 15,000 calories a day. It's totally doable. Well, yeah, I mean, not it's not a big and they're omnivores, so they literally will eat anything you don't eat. It's only UberEats guys. What the Uber eats. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
But, no, they're they're very smart animals. They're, there's a lot of, videos of, of bears riding motorcycles by themselves. Well, that's like way back from the, circus when we were kids. They had. Yeah, yeah, yeah, back. Back when circuses were allowed to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Before they were like, no. Oh, that's not nice. You can't have animals in the circus. What, are you kidding? Having them do tricks. No. Yeah. That's mean like they were. Yeah. They're treated.
There are lots of videos that the biggest danger, honestly, is that they don't realize their own strength. Yeah. So they could be wanting this kind of, you know, pats you on the head and they accidentally break your head open. They're like, oh, now this looks like food. You know, I mean, eventually if you don't feed it enough, but but they're, there's a lot of like, this was just a much more common thing in Russia. Not in the city.
I don't want to get the impression that, you know, in the middle of town, there's a bunch of people walking their bears that would be sub realize Russia is a big country that spends a lot of time zones, most of which is extremely low population like, even lower than, you know, Nebraska or states in the middle of the country and lower than Wyoming. And so a bear serves two purposes. It's a cool pet, but also you can do a much better job protecting you from other animals.
Not many animals want to fuck with a bear. Even a small bear. You know, in a big country, Jean dreams stay with you like a lover's voice on the mountain side. I don't know that song. You don't know in a big country by big country? No. Wow. Did you live in the 80s? I thought you were big into the 80s. I was listening to country music in the 80s. And then do not remember that song at all. I was listening to country two in the 80s, but I also heard Big Country. They're a Scottish band.
Oh, and that's probably why it's it's not real country them. Yeah, well it's all there was rock. Oh well then I definitely would remember. That was right about the Miami Vice time though. The only known was Miami Vice. Rock. I don't think so. Most of it was Yanni hammer was not right. Well, not the theme, but the music they played. Let fry You belong in the city. Oh, come, the Eagles, Don Henley. That's very tangential. That's that's a different crowd, dude.
That's not that's not the Miami Vice crowd. That's the jean jacket out. The guy and he jacket. Then the jean jacket. Crowd. Jean jacket came in with 5000 satoshis. That's real money. Today we did that mad. And then. Then it says, I love two good old boys with Daryl and Jam. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. You wanted to know the old guys with Daryl and John, John the Hammer, John, John, John, John, John Yang, John, John, John. It. Ron. John. John. Shit. Ron. Ron Johnson from from Johnson.
Yeah. From that movie. You know, the one. Yeah. The Ridgemont High, the one where Phoebe Cates came out of a pool. And really, nothing else happened in that movie that that was literally the movie. Okay, it's getting out of a pool with that came out at the age we were. It was like, that's pretty much all you wanted to see.
¶ Closing Banter: My Little Pony, Brain Mush, and the Promise to Not Relent
Like, can you put that out the loop? That'd be good. Yeah, I doubt that wasn't the loop. I think that that was the bit of the videotape that was worn out completely. Rightfully so. Yeah. Now, that was a very nice getting out of the pool scene. They don't make comedies much like that anymore. How old is she? Back then, I wonder? During that movie, probably her 20s. Probably. Don't want to know. I mean, that's no, I'm going to look it up. Oh, no, you just. You're opening up a can of worms, steam.
You're like, this is dangerous. Dangerous. It's like. But we were young at the time. Yeah. When all the filming Fast Times at Ridgemont High, that was 1982. Yeah. So I was 12. She was 19. Oh, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. 19. Perfect perfect, perfect. That's why she looked perfect. It was perfect. She's like, that's what you did in there. Okay, well, here's your answer. That mainly balance. You want a somebody to date.
That's your target right there a 19 you know and I would I would discourage dating a 19 year old I said 19 I would discourage dating an 18 year old to no 19 year old. Oh well, I would discourage anyone under 21 because I've done that. Like six years ago, I dated a chick that was 20. Yeah, that was like $4,000 an hour. Man, you can't keep that up going. Yeah. And going, you know, going to restaurants when you're my age was somebody who can't legally drink.
Oh. Would you like a freeze to see you and your daughter here? Yeah. And then you give your daughter a big smooch on the lips. Oh, I see how that is in that family. That was the Blues Brothers, right? Well, it was, I think that one night. Yes. Oh, no. What? That was, the other Chicago movie. That's where the Broderick brothers, that was, the one with the Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh, I with you. Picture a movie, I see how it is in their family.
The Blues Brothers was great that when they go into the fine dining establishment, these, like, how much are they? Women? How much for these little girls? Now, you can't do that and say that no. People be like, whoa, what? Like that was fucking comedy. It was a different time, I suppose. I'm pretty sure that never happened. Actually, I don't, I think they're imagining that because we have no proof. No proof? The Blues Brothers that exist.
No, no, no, I there's never been a script for the Blues Brothers that you mistaken. That was just conspiracy theory. Fast Times at Ridgemont High was Nick Cage's first movie. Says that. I do remember seeing that he was uncredited, but that's the first time he ever appeared. Really? Yeah. In a movie, I don't. What role did he play? I don't know, he worked at one of the fast food places. And you only saw him for like a minute?
Yeah. It's like, this is the way he, you know, he's, Francis Ford Coppola's nephew. Yeah. What's easy to get put in the movies that way? That's, I think, why he got put into a movie. Because he's not a good actor, and that's for sure. He's made himself a nice career with nepotism. Yes. Yes. But he. I think he developed the character. He's kind of like the character actor, like Pacino, like there's one role he plays in every movie.
Crazy with his droopy eyes and yeah, a little crazy, a little off kilter and, that's about it. This worked for him. You don't need to really live for today's standards or for Walken's plays. The same character in every movie. What? What do you mean? I play the same character. You get to get in the cadence for a Christopher Walken. It's hard. I can't do Walken. I can hear him in my head, but I can't do.
I know it's difficult, but it's interesting when you look at a lot of who are considered great actors. And you're right, you see them in multiple roles and you're like, play the exact same character. So yeah, not really a great actor. They're just really good at reading lines. Exactly. And this is why I'm not even necessarily that. But this is why when we said, if you look at Pacino's work, he's a shitty actor, like he literally has no range at all of the characters he can play.
Whereas you look like somebody like Tom Hanks. You don't immediately think of as being great actor, but you look at the differences between the roles of Forrest Gump and then the Fedex guy of the bosom buddy. Yeah, I mean, you look at the variety of, yeah, like a gay dude. All the characters that he's played least realize that is, that's a much better actor. Yes. Have way more range. He's actually acting. He's not just doing one bit over and over and over. Right.
It's not one particular personality that people just want to see over and over again. Yeah. Imagine like Pacino doing Shakespeare. They I gone now I can do the I do that for us. Yep. That would be. Yeah, yeah. You should load up with Sheehan's voice and see how that runs. That says that, Nic Cage pretty much plays Elvis in every movie. You know what? I think you're right. I think it's like a bad Elvis impersonator, is it? Isn't them? Well, there was a movie.
Was he, like, dying in Vegas or something? There was a movie or. Oh, yeah, you know, try leaving Las Vegas or. Yeah, something like that, where he was like a depressed drug addict or something. But the same girl from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Julie. What's her name? The other. The other girl that was at Fast Times, but nobody hardly remembers, because. Phoebe, this time you see it through Jennifer Jason Leigh, right? Yeah, I like I've always liked her. She was like that crazy chick.
But every. Everybody loves crazy chicks. He was that crazy chick like you look at her eyes and you go like, this is going to be great sex. But I bet she's going to stab me. Something. You said that to Barack. What? The. Were like a couple of shows ago. He's like, yeah. It's the kind of woman that, you know, I would never go to bed with because I'd be afraid he'd stab me in the middle of the night. Apparently, this is a common experience that you haven't had, never seen married in high school?
No. Never did. Never did. I feel that the rest of us have dated crazy chicks that I. I feel that this thing, something I never thought I was going to get stabbed in my sleep. Usually much better sex than other women. But your life is always in danger. Obviously you don't sleep because you're waiting. You got one eye open. You. I do now, waiting for the snap to just be like, we'll do that. Nope nope nope. Yeah yeah. But I mean, I guess it's for the fun that you're, like, thinking. Yeah. The date.
Don't give her your phone number. Don't take her to your house. I will, I will stab you if you don't give her a phone number. Video I literally just watched last night for somebody else's phone number. That was a recorded and a go cam that was mounted on the motorcycle. And the guy pulled up his motorcycle at a gas station. He still is. Bike up. Let's go. It's out of frame the whole time. But she literally walks over and like, oh, that's cool bike. And he's like, oh, thanks.
Like, so you, your girlfriend and he's like, no. It's like, oh, you want to take my number? And he's like, well, I yeah, I don't have a pen and bad move, Bubba. And she's like, what the. You don't think I'm home? And and he's like, well, no. Yeah. It's not that. You're just not really my type. He throws her drink at him. This is. Yeah. I knew you were here. An asshole. And then walks away. So that's the type of woman that would stab you in your sleep? Yeah, exactly. That's them. Would you.
They're all, like, super into you until they're not. Would you like my number? That is such a loaded question. That's why Jean is selling third jeans. Portable phone numbers. You can just you're like Braxton. You could be like, I could just sell you a portable phone number that you could give. That way when they can't trust that guy at all, it'll ring your phone. But then you could just turn that phone number off and still keep it. Keep your original phone number.
You don't trust Braxton? Yeah. I'm with you. There you go. Apparently, Brandi just. News just came out. FBI director Deputy Director Dan Bongino did not come into work today as he did. We don't know. He disappeared. We don't know. All we know is he didn't come into work. This is interesting. Where's Marty, though? Can you still use Bongino? He was probably out with the woman who stabbed him. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. No, no breaking news for recently. She was older during fast times.
At least that's what it said when the little thing that I read here did it. Yeah. It said despite being only 19, gates took out a mentoring role with her costar Jennifer Jason Player, who played her best in the same year. Lee remembers being really nervous. Yeah, yeah, Jennifer Jason Leigh is, four months older than Phoebe Cates. Oh, okay. Here's what I just said at 21 years old during the interview. Okay, so that was, you like, 219 year olds?
Does that equal, is that okay, or does it have to be 23, or can you go with 219 year olds. Is that kind of equal out. Does that get you to 38 minus something. So yeah, I'm trying to think I don't think I've ever had to 19 year olds. I've had I mean, you have had your same time. So there you go. Yeah. But 219 year olds, that is a rarity. One's gonna rob you. Just to be fair. Why did you bring them along? Yeah, that one's going to stab you. Yeah? Yeah. What's gonna rob you?
Good one's gonna stab you. But, hey, you might still think it's worth it. Yeah, it's hard to say. Your mileage may vary. These are the kind of tips you get. Unrelenting where you should be supporting the show. Unrelenting that show. Slash donate. Do it right now. And another question. Because final question for the day CSB I get a lot of questions. Ask Gene what music genre would be most fitting for a song about his snake named regret?
Well, obviously it would have to be Russian like folk Russian. Oh, no. Oh, you want 80s like rock? Do you want it to be like, there you go. 80s? Kind of heavy, like John Hammer. So this person is John Hammer. You want it to be heavy person? John. John. John, John. Though. That was a person like that. Yeah, yeah. Hammer. John Thomas. Yes. Jason Lee won the MTV best villain. Willem. She's a Willem award. Oh, you're Willem villain. Yeah, a Willem the best I don't I got into, my
I was apparently thinking of Chekhov from Star Trek. Yes. With his phony Russian accent. No, that wasn't real. That's hard to believe. Come on, captain, even see us? We could do a better Russian accent. Anybody can do a better Russian then. Then check. Like that's the kind of accent that you would speak if you'd literally never heard a Russian speak. Or if you only watch Boris in the you. No, that was a better. The Boris Real had a much better Russian accent.
Interesting. Absolutely. Then you're like, this is the only cartoon you're allowed to watch as a kid. Probably the only cartoons that made it across the, Arctic, circle. You didn't have the internet then to watch whatever you wanted, whatever you wanted. I thought it was funny. Moose and squirrel. There was, I think it was off of Drudge that I found the article. Drudge. Wow. What it you go to Drudge?
Did that say this sucked for, like, I know, why do you still go there just for fun to see what's there. And of one of the links to it, I don't remember what site it was, but the headline was when I go racist, did we get the whole X grok, you know, Hitler or whatever it was? Yeah, yeah. It's like when an AI goes racist, who's to blame? It's fucking. Nobody's to blame. It's an AI, it's a computer, you dumb fuck. Nobody's to blame.
It's like it's the guy that program it and thought it'd be hilarious if it weren't racist. Well, it's if if grok, especially being the AI that is absorbing content from X, well, then I think it's pretty obvious. Yeah, that it's going to have some kind of racist. X is just getting progressively worse in that regard. Well, it's because they're using the same concept of, well, free speech, which I'm behind.
But that also means the worst of the worst is going to be allowed in, and it's going to overtake. And this is what you get the worst of the worst. I mean, that that's kind of going overboard. But the amount of blame the Jews is definitely getting out of hand because they're it's it would be a parody if the people that weren't posting it weren't being serious. Yes, it literally is everything.
It doesn't matter what it is that there's someone that's got a post or even a video of how there's a tie in. Well, such and such as great grandmother was related to this guy whose kid married a Jew. And therefore this was all a big plot. It was like, oh my God. So, but for that, do you blame the internet? I think you have to, because I don't think you blame the internet. It's always had a similar effect. And even before, right before, if something as big as X single platform.
The problem it's the two sides of the same coin. Is the internet allowed people with extremely small affinity groups and penises like furry fetishes and shit like that? Or bronies. Oh by the way then didn't know what a brawny was. Isn't that like, like My Little Pony guy or something? Yeah, yeah, it's like a brony. Dudes are age that are all into My Little Pony. That was on some TV show. They had the thing, I forget which one.
But yeah, there was a band, didn't know that, and they thought it was some weird sexual practice or something, which I like. I think this cat is. Was he interested once he heard about it, was he like, oh no, but but I said, oh, because he thinks he's all like, you know, worldly when it comes to fetish shit. I'm like, Ben, you don't know the half of it. But he dreamed. However, Dell's bad about the fetish world. On the next episode of Grumpy Old published. Yeah, we moved our show to Thursdays.
That's even better, right? During no agenda at all. It's. It's not during no agenda. It's less of a working during no agenda. Really. Are are you really, though are you really working? Yeah, I work, but when we were growing up, when we were in high school and there was no internet and there was no social media, I didn't really know anybody that was walking around going, blame the Jews. So the fact that, yeah, I think I knew one guy that was.
But that's the thing, it's like that one guy per, you know, like a population of 40,000 people. Well, you know, you you look at how many populations of 40,000 people are in the US like, and you got to realize there's actually a thousand plus of these guys. And with the internet, they all connected with each other. Yeah. And and then they can forward messages from one of them and all the rest of them do it forward. And now it looks like half of X is filled with that stuff.
They're like really happy to like, see somebody else says the same thing I do. Here's the irony. You know, I, I've always maintained an account, gab because, that's true. You're the only real free speech place there ever was. Because they just don't censor, period. And, you know, it's not like I go there very often. This is partly for this exact same reason, because, yes, it's totally free speech, but literally 50% of the stuff it's is like Hitler was, right. It's a 50% of the post.
And, I don't think that that should be regulated. Like, I'm okay with that. That's fine. I think you let the market decide. What. Yeah. You just want to show who they are. This is why, like advertising, gab costs way less money than advertising. X because you're, there's going to be next to a Hitler was right post. But X a year ago compared to X right now. And, yeah, it is drastically shifted into that direction.
And I blame Israel obviously for this because of course people don't know how to differentiate Israel from just Jews in general, because it's too easy just to take something negative that you didn't like about Israel and then say, Jews. What no one thinks about is that Israel is 40% Arab. Well, that's the problem. You gotta get rid of them. Well, no, they're they've been citizens of the the Arabs that aren't trying to blow everybody up. The good Arabs, there's really the few, the proud.
Yeah. But there is very much this complete character caricature. Istic caricature. Ristic. If that's the word or cartoonish, maybe it would be in other caricature, view of Israel being a bunch of dudes with, long, you know, hair braids, wearing black suits with black hats. And the funny thing about it is that is literally a tiny minority in Israel.
Most Israelis, including Jewish Israelis, don't really like because the Hasidic Jews have a much higher population in the United States than they do in Israel. Yeah. Big time. In Israel, they're kind of seen as the weirdos. That's kind of like the, it's it's kind of like if you imagine Israel as being full of of dudes wearing black suits with beards and, hair braids, you know, coming down sides, their heads in black hats.
That would be the equivalent of somebody in Europe imagining that the US looks like a an Amish community. That's the whole country is basically just one big Amish community, man. Imagine the pies, because both of those groups were stuck in a paradigm of their sort of leadership that they're following, originating in the 1800s. Maybe it was the 1700s, but either way, like between 150 and 250 years ago, and that's where the dress comes from. That's where everything comes from.
You know, for the privy, it's 1800 years. Jews did not work clothes like that. So this is this is a a fairly modern sect of Judaism is the ultra-Orthodox side. But in the United States, they're the, the most visible and they're visible because most people don't know that half their coworkers are Jewish because they they don't have to tell. Yeah, they look they look exactly the same as them, and they're non-religious, so they don't, you know, you know,
the only thing you might notice is they don't go to church. But. So the most Christians these days don't go to church. Oh, yeah. No Catholics. So those that you really notice are the ones that act different and dress different. Yeah. Then there's there's an assumption, well, that's what Jews are. No, that's literally a small, tiny little fraction of Jews that followed that particular sect of Judaism. But did you not have an obvious girl on Rumspringa?
Never. Why? I'm just saying that would be kind of a, checklist thing. Bucket list. Oh, I would love to. Yeah. No, that would be. That would be great Amish girl. Rumspringa. Oh, hell yeah. Wouldn't get much better than that. Oh, I mean, she might be able to make pies, too. She probably knows how to bake pies. Yeah, or I guess if you don't want to use the Amish, then let's let's use the, the church or Lady Day Saints. Let's use the Mormons.
So if your impression is that all Americans are Mormons, then that would be similar to what I think the impression of what Israel is for a lot of people that would make sense, like people are educated. Fox. What's that? Yeah, I guess you could probably say that, but it's a it's the kind of thing that makes it easier to lead to stereotypes, which again, is because people have been the brains have been turned into mush because of very short videos and short post they can't comprehend.
Which is why it makes it seem like these eyes are more intelligent because they can actually process more characters at a time that the human brain. Yeah, but it's true. And and we're these sort of brain damaging videos banned, China, Russia and China. That's why they're coming ahead of the. But make sense. Yeah. So I watch My Little Pony and dress up like a pretty horse. So what that didn't sound is good. No. That that that definitely did. That sounds good. You need a bigger sample problem.
Yeah, I'll get a bigger sample. But we'll be back to that next week to not relent yet again, we're going to attempt to not relent. You think we can do it? I think we could. Do you think we can make it happen? I look, I don't want to over promise. Yet help me. We're.
