¶ Bridge Tales & Southbound 35: Adventures in Traffic, Basements, and Weather
Waterboard the sons of bitches. Yeah. Give me your. You ever been southbound? 35. Gene. I grew up southbound 35. Man. There you go. That green soda to Texas. That's how you got there. That's 30. That's what takes you, right? Literally 35. That's like. That's literally the thing that you. Beer thing southbound. Yeah. Southbound 35. Pretty much going down to the border. You've got it on unrelenting another Friday.
I think I've driven the entirety of 35 from the very start of 35 to the very end of 35, because it goes from Minnesota all the way down to the Mexico border. Is that. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like it? Is it a good. Is it a good highway? Horrible highway. It's got traffic. Almost. They tear up. What are you driving, like three in the morning? Or is that when all the smugglers are out? That's. That's. Well, if you drive, it's like midweek in the summer. At night. It's okay. True. Perfect.
In this summer. Now, how are you? It's a beautiful day. 72 degrees right here outside of Shiraz. That's great. You finally got some good weather. I know, rather than 90, 95. I mean, you can tell in the basement with the old dehumidifier that has the, like, two gallon jug or maybe even two and a half. It fills, like, every day. Lot of humidity here. Yeah. Yeah. To take it out of the air. Kids, if you take the humidity out of the air, it is so much better.
Yeah, you got to get the air to where you can't cut it with a knife. Oh, tribu, that's pointing out that was the bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis.
¶ Death-Defying Mini-Truck Train Track Expeditions (and Random Idaho Train Cars)
That was the I-35 bridge. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was. And I drove on that bridge about half an hour before it collapsed. Wow. Yeah. So you did it. I just yes, I did it. I just got home when, still sitting in the car. The, radio came by and they broke through the the talk station and said, oh, there's been a horrible accident. Well, that had to be a very weird feeling. When they're like yeah, it's, it's it allowed me to work from home for about two months. So it was pretty cool.
What was less cool was if I would have, the people up for a half hour. Right. Yeah. If I would have stopped for a bowl of ramen, then, I'll tell you, I was not surprised. They were doing road work on that bridge. And so traffic was scrunched up, and, they basically had, you know, both lanes. This is a long time ago, so I'm going off memory. So I, I think what, what it looked like was they had condensed both, directions of traffic onto One Direction's worth of bridge, and it was all backed up.
Well, of course it was backed up because you have slow speeds because of the road construction. And they have construction vehicles and equipment on the bridge. Yeah. Yeah. Yo, nobody's accounted for how damn heavy those things are. That would have been okay if they had bothered checking the, all the, you know, the the metal connectors, they're not bolts, but they're basically they grunt of bolts that were holding the the spans, the bridge together underneath.
Yeah. You take a leap apparently were loose because people were saying you can hear the sound of them clanking. Well, that's not good. No, but I was watching a guy, and it was kind of disappointing because he never made the big trestle bridge. But there's, I guess, folks, YouTube, because you could do everything that YouTube and this dude bought in a little rock, like a pickup truck from Japan, but it's like a mini truck, so it is almost the exact with of a train track.
And he built things for the front and the back of the metal with the metal wheels, so it would keep it on a train track and I guess there are people that explore long left for dead train lines. And this guy was out in the middle of rural Idaho potato land. And, you know, it's fine, it's great. It's fun, you know, taking all the big rocks off.
But when they get up to it, his goal was to get on this huge trestle bridge, which he wasn't able to make it to, which was disappointing, although he went over a few fairly large ones and I'm like, wow, that's a leap of faith to be driving something over a bridge that hasn't been used in 20 mission 30, 40 years. Yeah. So nobody also means that hasn't had the war in terror for 20 or 30 years. True. But nobody's inspecting it, so you don't really know the condition it's in.
Yeah, but it was pretty wild.
¶ Of Camping, Bears, and Grocery Store Wisdom: You Brought a Gun, Right?
I'm like, this is, I guess, a hobby. I, I mean, it probably pays better than podcasting. Well, it pays. Everything is better. Yeah. Yeah. Once again, I want to thank Scott Gorman for being the one donor today with $2.50. This is your show. Now he's going to stop this like, I want this to be my show, man. Yeah, yeah. It's like no no no no no no no, don't put that at me. Exactly. We're just here for our own amusement. But I thought that was a very interesting hobby to have.
And the fact that there were going so far in it was so depressing, because I don't think they did this intentionally because they went the whole first day and they got deep into the forest and they camped. And as they're camping, they're flying. They're drawn to see what's ahead. And they didn't know that. I guess when they decommissioned the line, they also had a bunch of abandoned train cars. They didn't want any more. So they just left them on the tracks so they couldn't.
Yeah. Yeah. So they couldn't get past that. There was not enough room. Definitely happens. So where else are you going to put where you got. You got a big train car you want to get rid of. Where are you going to put it? In the middle of Idaho. Like nobody's ever going to go like out in Washington state where you drive in the long and there's literally like 500ft of railroad track, the side of the road with a couple of cars parked, no track behind and no track ahead.
You like how did this get here? It got left there. That's how it got. And it's never going anywhere because it weighs, I don't know, 100,000 pounds. Probably a lot more than that. Right. You know. Thanks, Alvaro. They are. They called him the K cars. They're little mini trucks. We're on the road. You know, it kind of looks like it's about half a car or it's a half a mile. If you take a full sized pickup truck, even a small Toyota, this thing's like half the size of that. Still like little
mini things, which I don't know if I'd even say that. I'm. Oh, they're really. They're that small. The other room, like mini truck. So it wasn't like a even a Toyota, you know, truck. Like in the 80s, you had those little Toyota pickup trucks. This thing was about half the size of that, really like little mini thing. I think they just abandoned it too, because the thing was starting to die out every now and then. I think they got to a point where they couldn't go any further.
So that may now be on a track somewhere in the middle of Idaho. Jesus. But it's one way, I guess, if you want to get deep into the woods for some camping fun. I like when they stopped in like one little grocery store and they were telling the guy what they were doing, and he's like, you got a gun? And they're like, no, why would we ever get these like bears? Like, yeah, yeah, there's big bears out in the woods. Come on now, the place, you want to camp without being prepared? I would, yes.
No, no, but, I don't know that necessarily. The gun thing is going to do all that much good to have a grizzly comes up. You're just probably. Is dinner. I mean, you kind of look like dinner, You smell like dinner. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the best thing you could do is just throw a bag of stew at him and hope that he decides to eat that instead. So all they had was, like, the freeze dried food. So the bears are going to be like, I want what bread? They want the fresh, juicy food. Yeah.
So now have this is just our test of our theory. If you're on YouTube later and you have a bunch of videos of people taking weird vehicles on train tracks, you'll know why. Like, I didn't even know this was a thing and he broke it into a three part series.
¶ Keyboard Warriors vs. Real-Life Shenanigans: The YouTube Hobby Express
And I pretty much skipped the whole first part because I didn't care how he was going to take the truck and put the stuff on it. That seemed boring. Yeah, I wanted to see the journey. And then it was disappointing because they're like, oh, our goal is to get to this huge trestle bridge. And I'm like, I want to see these motherfuckers go over the trestle bridge and see if the
I mean, of course, would there be a video if they didn't make it? So, that would be the question that somebody would, like, find the vehicle and be like, oh, look, dead guys. But hey, wait, there's a SD card here. Let's throw this up on YouTube. Yep, yep. That's excellent. Way to go. I well, there a lot of people doing interesting hobbies in lieu of sitting and being keyboard warriors, which is better than sitting and being keyboard warriors.
¶ TV, Sci-Fi, & The Eternal Franchise: Cult Classics, Doctor Who, and Firefly Lamentations
It gives you something to watch. It gives you scenery, gives you scenery, and the keyboard warriors just keep doing the same things over and over and over, and they all want to talk about the same things over and over and over. And they want to beat a dead horse over and over and over.
Though I will give the legendary Bill O'Reilly he had to have a, he had to have noticed he has to know somebody at CBS, because the day before Colbert got fired, he ran a segment saying Colbert and his negativity and all this, this, this and this. He's like, he's he's not gonna last much longer on CBS. And then the next day fired. And of course, that now the Democrats are like, Lizabeth Warren, is this this seems like this seems like bribery. You paid Trump 60 million and you're firing Go Bear.
Well, it could just be that nobody was watching Colbert Show, and they couldn't make money out of it either. Yeah, I mean, that's that's the bit that they seem to be completely oblivious to is that if not enough people watch the show to pay for the ads, then there's no show. No, it doesn't matter what it believes me. Those of us that enjoy science fiction shows like Firefly, I know all too well how that works. I think there's some new sci fi movie with, psyllium and, to, what to it?
What's his last name to the guy from, Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. That they're combined. They're working on something, which would be really cool. Maybe it's Firefly again in the future. They're older, wiser. Okay, I don't think it's Firefly, but. Okay. Be great. Another show that just came in, had one season and then disappeared without well, not without a trace because it's still fairly well known in the in the geek circles. Yeah. It's what's the phrase for that when the show gets a big cult classic.
Cult classic. Yeah. And of course, if it's a cult classic, we want to go and make a part two and totally fuck it up like Doctor Who. Wow. Yeah. They had such a good thing with Doctor Who and that. No, we have to make it a woman that. No, we have to make it a gay black guy. Like we're not obvious about what we're doing. Now it's like, I'm a big firm believer in that. People need to just set their own and things for these things. There were only three Star Wars movies, right?
There were only seven doctors done. And the story if you stop, that's it. That's your world. Yeah. And you don't have to ruin your memories by accepting their bullshit. And the beauty is the I in. What do you think? Five years. Ten years that you could go put an episode of your favorite movie or television show, and it's not going to take that long. I mean, we're not we're not going to get in five years to having a dream, a torium or a, holodeck.
¶ Our Deepfake Reality: Video Evidence, AI Voices, and the End of Believability
But we'll definitely be able to create full on TV show quality videos based on subjects that we want to see that didn't exist until we asked for them. That'll be awesome. The hallucinations are going to get wild, baby, right? Which is again, don't believe anything you see. Like, just I mean, in our lifetime, up until about. Well, now, if somebody was caught on camera committing a crime, that was the best evidence ever. Yeah. Now I know that it's like no deepfake. That's a deepfake.
Everything is actually, totally wasn't me. Deepfake. Not me, not me. People I hope get. Because here's the way you defend these things now, when they bring in the grainy security cam footage of whatever it is of a guy or let's just say, a guy doing something bad, well, all the defense has to do is go on to the social media site of any of the jurors, take their face and slap it on the video and go, you see how easy it is to doctor these videos up, and then they go, oh, okay, not guilty.
Nobody will ever be guilty again. Which is why frontier justice must return. Carry a gun, be a vigilante, take out the judge, jury and executioner on whatever you see. This is not actual advice. Comedy show. Well, no. No medical, no legal, no any kind of advice. Just entertainment. Baby. This is where it's going to go though.
¶ The Art of Speaking: Monotone vs. Shouty Voices and NPR Conspiracies
And the more I delve screwed around with the AI voice thing I noticed a few things. One does a much better job on female voices. It does a much better job on male voices like yours which are a little bit more monotone and calm. It does monotone. What the hell are you talking about? You have a tendency to give the the, I'm about to fall asleep, Jim. My voice is very relaxing. And until that, numerous times by numerous people.
Now, if it's more of a shouty voice, it is more as a preacher, probably. Sure people would. People love falling asleep in church. You get into the pit. Well, so long as you can pick their pockets while they're asleep. Your church would be very well-funded, but it was very hard, the whole point of church to pick their pockets while they were awake, I think. So they can do it both. It was hard to get a good read on John C The voice crack. I tried.
And the interesting thing was because he was on brother one American News and he was doing an interview and it was all I found it on YouTube and I had a clip. This will and no agenda. I mean, when does JCD get more than like 3 or 4 seconds at a time before he's interrupted by Curry or something else? I know, two full minutes. They just let him talk. So I use that in the in the chatterbox. Oh well you could use the video of John demonstrating a, PS2. Yes, on the PBS computer show.
I forget what it's called. I wanted the more recent tech, more excellent stuff or something. Yeah, I one of the more recent voice. So this was computer cycles. Yeah. What I found was taking that two minute and putting it into chatterbox and creating a couple of things had almost zero. It was imperceptible 99% of the time. Rather than taking a six second chunk out of that two minutes. So I don't believe that this chatterbox thing yet. I don't know if 11 labs is any different.
I don't think it's really learning anything about the delivery. It is strictly looking at the tones in the voice. There was definitely a difference in the one that I did of you, that the half an hour to digest versus the one that looked like two minutes, but there was still like a New York thing going on. I think it's New York. Here's the thing. Here's the problem, dude. You don't you don't hear yourself the way other people hear you. This is true for all of us.
We hear our voice in our heads reverberating through a bunch of gooey brain matter. Right. So when you. I've heard my son speaking on tape, though, so that's kind of the same thing. No no no, no, it's the same thing. It's the same thing because you're hearing yourself speaking on tape through headphones and it's it's being, it's being modulated your head and it trust me, you saying you see the color yellow is not the same as me seeing the color yellow.
There are differences in sound and color in the way things are perceived. The big things that you can hear, like, you know, the pitch of the sound. Right? We can all agree on what those are. But if you hear yourself without like if you kind of have a filter that removes the things that are done to your voice by, the, the soft, fleshy bits, I think that you would hear a very different sound. Yeah, but it would be comparison to the other.
So again, that would be changing what you did compared to other people's voices, but not really your own voice. I don't buy that for a minute, but it's an interesting theory. Now, I understand when you're speaking, it's that is totally true. But listening back saying doing left and right AB testing the first time you recorded yourself and you heard yourself speak, that should have been the time where you noticed the biggest difference.
You hadn't gotten used to hearing what you sound like outside of your head, and getting that synchronized with what you hear inside your head. So I'll give you that, like when you first hear yourself recorded for the first time, it sounds very different. Well, yeah, because it was more this time that blends together and melts because you, your, your brain knows that it's hearing you and it's, it's saying, this is what I should sound like. The adjustments are made in the software.
But I think again, with this software is doing is just looking at the tone and then allowing you to adjust. And it was interesting because if you wanted and audiobook kind of a read, which is slow, deliberate, annunciating going down to the slowest was it works pretty good, almost not even good enough, but it was the best. Okay, but taking those sliders all the way to the left for both the pacing and for the excitement level, yeah, was what you needed for what?
I mean, again, I know that's a very certain vibe. That's not somebody having a passionate conversation. The sample of you that I did, I did the opposite. I had to push both the sliders to the right to make it sound more like you. Yes, because I have a shouty voice and you need to bring this up. There it is. Right? Ksbw coined it. You have the overall number of vibrations you know, that your voice is making, but it doesn't know how to vary those if you have a different way of speaking.
I think Dvorak does as well. I think he has a very unique way of speaking. And for people that are a little bit off there, I haven't tried Larry from, The Larry Show, your man. It's the way of speaking where you're leaning back and the intensity is loud. Yes. Yeah. When you got a little gruff, it's when you know your voice is a little more, a little dismissive. I think the more so if I would normally be talking like this. Hi. Welcome to unrelenting.
On today's show, you would be able to do that easily. Hello, Mr. NPR. Yes. That's why maybe this is why NPR does it. Maybe that's been I doing their shows for years. One thing that makes a lot of sense that way, it's a lot less work. You don't have to do it live. So I really I feel I should pull the clip. O'Reilly did a callback to that as well. Yesterday he made a thing where he's like, oh, we'll do it live. As somebody once famously said, that's somebody who thinks, isn't it?
Yeah. It's like, oh, yeah. That's Bill's big viral moment still. We'll do a live. But if you have more of that, you I don't know if you would say exaggeration in your voice. That may be the best term to use because there is a difference in the normal voice and the radio voice. I've just been doing the radio voice so long. Is it enunciation?
¶ Cassette Nostalgia, Crackly Vinyl & CD Wars: Analog Memories and Digital Grumbles
It may be, and I think that is a part of it. It's enunciation and also the energy behind it where most people I mean, I think it comes from, right. The enunciation, the need for that when people are taught to enunciate because he wanted her to sing from her diaphragm. Yeah. Why? Because that was a Steve Martin bit. Because again it's the way it delivers. It's because of volume.
It's it's because for 100 years the technology that we had available to be able to record and or transmit voice was so shitty that it couldn't convey the full spectrum of the melodies and the, the differences in volume. Oh, true. You go back to that old timey radio sound. Yeah, yeah. You had to be taught. And this is true for, for movies with sound. This was obviously not true for movies without sound, but for movies with sound or radio, you had to do this.
Otherwise you would just sound like mush, and people would be. What do you say? What? What was that? So if you didn't enunciate properly, it it would be mush. So I think it was in a lot of ways, technology driven and not so much a, a need by, you know, your friends or people that you were actually talk in person with. Now, of course, we have the telephone. The early telephone may have caused that as well. But old technology, it had a limited bandwidth.
It was analog and the bandwidth for transmitting human voice was adequate. But it wasn't great. Yeah. And of course, as you're mentioning in the Chrome, if you are in the theater, you had to enunciate, didn't speak loudly. Right. But for the same reason, because previously to probably the 1960s, there were no microphones. Right. And so you have to speak in a way that people that paid the cheap tickets in the back row could still understand what the hell you're saying.
That's the voice that I have. I remember in I think it was college. I went to a baseball game with a buddy and I yelled. Something was probably just as mean as I texted your mom last night. Something like that. And he looked at me and he's like, you know, there's 20,000 people in this crowd. But I bet he heard you because. Yeah. Know you said this in the theater in the a baseball game. And I was like I gotta check something in the theater.
But I do have a respect for people that can actually enunciate and have their voice carry. I think I've told this story before, and we went to see Michael Bublé, who's a damn good singer, really. I mean, he's not snotty. Yeah, but he's as close as the modern era can get. We took my parents to see him maybe ten years ago or so. Good. You're good. What do you got? I heard I heard the sound of something falling. Oh, you thought the snake was coming to get you?
Well, I knew the snake was doing something, so I went and checked snake in his room, and he had climbed on top of a couple of tables and was just sitting there looking back at me through the door like, oh, I'm going out here, boss. But I, we took my parents never do that. That's the first time I've ever caught him sitting on top of the table. Oh. He's going to start pushing boundaries.
We, we took my parents to see Michael Bublé and he's like, this all started back in the day when there was a power outage. He's like, but now this is just kind of a thing. He's, singing guy, right? Yeah. Canadian. He's not so natural, but he's pretty good. And they cut all the power, and he finished like the last 60s of the song. And yeah, it was loud enough for people at the back of the basketball arena to still hear him, which was which was fairly impressive.
I mean, I'm not saying it was the highest quality, but you could still hear him, which is like you're putting out a lot of decibels if you can now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the dog biscuits, but this is where he learned of this history. And I picked up this kind of style of speaking which never goes away. This is how I speak. No in person at this point. But it was because of starting podcasting. When I started a show with my buddy Jeff called alt this back in, like when Digg Nation started.
So probably I think that's hilarious that you had this show called alt this. I had a show called Sick This. See, there is something to be said. We were on the similar back in the mid 2000 and I still have audio of this, but it's like you go back in those early shows, it was more of the oh, okay, Gene, today we're going to be talking about, Windows Vista and all sorts of other stuff. So and that was like, wait, that's not going to work. No, that's not exciting.
No. But isn't that people leaning into the radio? It was helpful to have. Let's hope not. They're not listening to the radio. People like, well, there's speakers in the world with the little voices in their head. So, yeah, listening to Rush Limbaugh, listening to Jonathan Brand. Oh, Mo, rush was what I mean. Brad Meyer, too, is a shouty voice. Rush Limbaugh definitely had the shouty voice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like that's where you kind of pick it up. It's like why.
Because why? It cuts through. So if you're listening, if this is on in the background, you're not gonna pay attention to NPR. Right. But the Rush Empire blends into the background for sure. Exactly. Absolutely. And we don't want to. Black is meant to be focused. Then you're like, you have to really when you're listening to All Things Considered with your cup of coffee in your hand. I mean, you have to really force yourself to keep listening, you know, you just your glasses, right?
You open up a liquid, a sip of your of your, Starbucks. Yeah. And you start nodding your nose in agreement with, with the radio saying, yes, yes, I'm. Yes, that's the experience. I'm in full agreement with that. Yes. I will have to say that, it was actually in PR that introduced me to the Beastie Boys. Really? That is how does that even happen, though? Yeah, it's the, they had interviewed the Beastie Boys when they first popped on the scene because they were like, what?
You're white, you're Jewish. Wait, what? Yeah, right. Well, these days, back then, they were white. Now. Oh, that's true. True. But, then they're like, we don't we don't care. They're just the white guys from the Bronx. Yeah, yeah. The glam. So yeah, that was the first time I heard the Beastie Boys was actually on NPR. I'm like, oh, it's it's kind of different. This is interesting. Do they actually play any of the songs all the way through late? Probably 30s of it, of a song, I think.
Which one? That they got scared. It was an interview. It was like a, you know, five minute interview. It's like, yeah, you guys are doing something crazy here. And how are people reacting to it? I mean, it was big. I mean, it was really big for a while that we gotta fight for our right to party. You heard that? Oh, yeah. Everywhere. Driving down the street, those cassette tapes were being worn out. Kids, what's a cassette tape? We don't know.
What that means is that they, That's that new fangled thing that came after eight track. Exactly. And they're coming back to it. People want cassettes again. I don't get it. I mean, I get it, but I don't get it. They shouldn't want any of that old crap. It's those words that, well, digital is more convenient. I 100% it's easier to carry around at this point. You know, you can get really grade through which cassette tapes certainly do or they unravel in your machine. Better things get dirty.
Which is a real you know it's like oh yeah. There's here's the thing is and I know you're on the, the analog album side of the argument here, but thing that you have to remember is I think, well you don't have to remember it. This is my belief. Let me put it this way. This is my belief. I believe that because most people and heard their favorite music mostly on records like people our age, that there was a connection of that's what that is supposed to sound like.
That was established based on records as a medium, because records were certainly better quality than tapes. At least the first few times. You playing? Yes. And so that became sort of the standard of what a particular piece of music sounds. I don't care if it's rock or jazz or classical like you heard it on the record and you're like, oh yeah, this is great. Most people did not have the opportunity to hear those same pieces live.
And anyone that doesn't see a difference between what's on the record and what you hear live doesn't have ears. So I think that this idea that came out after CD's were introduced that, oh, CDs sound worse than records. In a lot of ways, it is simply the fact that the the bass and I don't mean like bases and music, but like sort of the, the standard or the default presentation of a particular piece of music for the vast majority of people. All right. Let's was on record.
And so you're comparing the CD to the record, and you're saying the CD doesn't sound like the record. There's subtle differences, and I don't like them. That does not mean the the CD is further away from the live recording from which both were made. Oh, I would agree with that. I mean, I think I'm just that CDs actually have a more pristine sound, there's no question about that. And I, we were right on that cusp being vital.
I mean, I bought my first vinyl record, Billy Joel's Glass Houses, I think 1980. And it was 1985, I believe, for Christmas. Maybe it was 84, 85, I think. Player got a CD player. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With born of the USA, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms and U2 The Unforgettable Fire, which are still three of the best damn albums around. I think I got I think I was 86 for me for the first CD player, and before that I was mostly listening to music on my Sony Walkman. Yeah, why?
Sony Walkman was big, walking back and forth to the bus and then on the bus to school. Exactly. That was the thing I had with me pretty much since fourth grade all through school. And I will say there was a huge difference and still is if you have them in the quality of a store bought tapes or if you were like, oh, I want Duran Duran seven and The Ragged Tiger, I bought it.
While the quality of tape they used for all that stuff was pretty much garbage, even if you had a CD of that same album and recorded it onto a maxell XL to high quality tape. Yeah. Or metallic tape. Yeah. Well, the metallic tape, even another step. There were ones that had more bandwidth to them. Yeah. And you'd get more high frequencies if you got much closer. There are some cassette tapes that sound as good as CD. Always sounded better than Am radio. FM radio, yes.
Yeah, it was better than that FM radio. Oh yeah. And CDs. You never had to worry about the crackle in the pop, which was great when listening to things like Dire Straits Brothers in Arms, because you know, there's a lot of dynamic range in there is the very quiet section. There's nothing worse than a quiet section of music. And this is the same with vinyl, where you're hearing the constant surface noise or crackle. It takes you right out of the music.
That's not to say the albums aren't phenomenally fun to listen to, which is kind of where I am, because when it comes to anything digital at this point, especially because all of my CDs have been ripped to a network attached storage device. And yeah, there is no physicality to it. You don't go get the CD and put it in the player, which was the way it was for a while, and that was very much closer to the vinyl experience because you had to get the CD.
I mean, the album art was a lot smaller would suck because my eyes have always sort, but now they really suck. So it's nice to have the actual big vinyl in the album, and you have to be actively listening, because with an album
¶ Vision Quests: Sudden 20/20 in Your Fifties and a Possible Alien Brain Tumor
within like 25 minutes, you're going to have to go flip it over or take it off. You can't just put it on and let it go. Check my eyes, dude, you have a problem. I have never seen better and sharper in my entire life. Oh. And this is only really happened in the last couple of months. This could be a brain tumor. I know. Right? There's some things you're like, wow, my vision is great. Well, here's the problem, Gene. We have a brain tumor pushing your eye to focus. Exactly.
But could totally be something like that. I agree, usually vision doesn't get better, noticeably gotten better. Have you started any other sharper that a close to me. And things that are further away or sharper? Any other supplements you've been starting? Anything that has the nothing new? All the ones we've talked about. I'm taken, but nothing new. No, it's it's a bizarre thing. I don't know, I'm not doing.
When I say I need to go get the doctor to check my vision and do a test for the, what you would call it, because I coma. Because I don't understand how my vision could get better in my 50s. You don't have the I could probably give you. I could actually see the pixels on the monitor. Oh, wow. And I can see my phone in front of me, and I can see the license plate on the car that's 100ft away. Well, it's great until it's not. Oh, I'm worried.
It is a very it's a I've never heard of this change in anybody. I've never heard of it either. You could be an alien. It's not supposed to be happening. No, it goes the other way. The vision progressively gets worse as you age and things wear out, and I. I study the other day where they realize that, when vision starts going, that they will try to, like, rewire themselves, that there's two different receptors and one they kind of, is normally used for dark and one is for light.
And but if you start getting the one for the light starts getting so bad that the dark ones kind of start rewiring themselves to compensate, which I've always wondered exactly what was going on when the right eye blew out for me and they did the surgeries, it was a nonstop fireworks kind of a show of like purple static. And there were times where it would look like it flashed and would move around and then kind of die down.
But it's like, I really do believe that there was something going on in the eye, like it was kind of trying to reboot itself, like, oh, I don't understand. This isn't working. Why? Let's do this. I'm trying to clear the problem out, which of course it didn't. But that lasted for quite a while, which I'm again, I'm sure there's part to do with physical trauma of the eye, which I'm glad now that they're coming out with, different ways to maybe fix that.
And I'm still not sure if it's going to be the winner. Winner will be the retinas that they are now making out of whatever material they are, or with it will be the stem cell implants to try to regrow. Either way, I'd like to try one of them. Yeah, yeah for sure. But we've talked about the fact they figured out now how to turn on the the new teeth growth thing. Why not new eyes pop the old one out. Yeah. Grow a new one. That'd be the way to do it. And there's a movie called what was it called?
The Island. They believe that was about these, you know, science fiction movies, these people that are like living on an island after some kind of nuclear disaster or something. And then, every, every now and then they have a ceremony where they're going to have a lottery to let a few people go off this island. And, and there's room somewhere in a, you know, a safe community or safe city somewhere, and they're all happy about it.
What turns out, as you keep watching the movie, The Island is basically a medical facility where rich people have clones of themselves for spare parts. And so the ceremony when somebody leaves the island, it means that they're actual person that they're a clone of has had a need for their body parts or organs or whatever. And so they're all excited to leave, but they're basically getting dissected. That's I don't think that's that. Like, that's not inconceivable.
We almost have the technology to do that right now. Parts is parts in somebody and then keep them alive for spare parts you need a heart transplant. We got a hard trial. And then like on the island, they all encourage them, you know, to exercise and to stay healthy. No changes in eye conditions. Could be a cataract. Are you nearsighted? Overall, I'm nothing right now. Is it? 2020 a, cataracts develop.
Some people may notice an improvement in near vision for a period, although that's not really what you got to know. Diabetic retinopathy. Well, there you go. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's probably something type two diabetes fluctuation you're just seeing. Because I don't remember seeing this well since I was a teenager. It says it can cause brief periods of improvement due to changes in the shape and thickness of the lens. Yeah, yeah. Very interesting.
Adopting a diet rich in vitamins AC and eat antioxidants and omega threes. They can for me it'll bring my vision back to ships so that all that could make it better. Are you having a lot of fish and leafy greens. I mean, I don't eat any of that stuff. I take the vitamins, stuff. Not close enough. That. Right? Regular physical. Like, you know, that's not obviously that's that's definitely not it. No, no, no, I don't know. I do need to get that checked, though.
It says a sudden improvement in vision. And someone over 50 is less likely to be a sign of improved eye health and, more commonly, a symptom of an underlying eye condition like cataracts or diabetic retinopathy. Yeah. Go get that checked out now I need to. Yeah. They're like g we got good news. We got bad news. You're seeing really good right now. The next week. Not so much Jim. Exactly. Exactly. Here's a nice German shepherd named Eye Dog.
¶ The Legend of Adolf the Anti-Semitic Dog: Curb Your Enthusiasm Runs Wild
It's gonna be your new friend. Oh, come on, you would never name a German Shepherd. I name, Hitler, right? Oh, of course. Yeah. Take podcast. There was an episode of Larry David, and, somebody that had, a dog named Adolf German Shepherd named at all. It's a very popular German name. It is popular Germany. And, Larry started noticing that this dog really hates Jews. And and it was funny, just like, obviously the whole episode, you know, the owners, like.
Right. What do you mean? This is this is a very friendly dog. Yeah. It's a German accent. Yeah. That dog, he like everyone. And meanwhile the, I don't like the, you know, dogs just sitting there looking at you. You show them the the star of David dog starts barking and jumping. The, It's pretty funny. Ksbw came in with 2814, which means he keeps getting cheaper. He won't just stay with 3333. You got to adjust for $3.33. Ksby. There's not even any podcasting 2.0 to that.
You could have definitely boosted a little bit higher, he says. Here's 333 for your quarter visit, Ksby lol. Don't forget to attach my song about Gene Snake to Greg at the end of the episode UCSB Cuervo. I did that on the last episode. It's got to be a new song. We don't want to reuse the same song over and over. That's two over three. You want new, new things every time. We want to encourage more people to come up with some songs too. We get into a little bit of politics.
Let's see, it is, 1046. Sure. Why not? Yeah. So, I've gotten some of the highest, like the messages ever this week.
¶ Epstein Files, Flight Logs, and Political Ping-Pong: Where's the Meat?
And that's so the most likes. We have 100 likes, like 400 people clicking the little art symbols on my posts, and you don't even have 400 people like following you. I know right now these are random people clicking. Did you pay them? No, no, I did that. I'm I'm apparently what I'm saying is connecting to people, which is, pointing out that it was those of us that wouldn't let go of the Epstein thing that got Trump to actually say, well, fine, fuck it. If you guys want this so much, here you go.
Yes. Now you know what's going to come is going to piss somebody off. Oh, it's going to piss everybody off. Because, you know, I mean, I know Predictively that what's going to come is a big bowl of nothing or and they keep refusing to actually make the thing that people want available, which is we have thousands by their own admissions of, of videos and photographs of kids on the island. And by kids I mean 17 year olds on the island.
They're not standing in front of a wall with nothing around them. They're these are photographs of a 17 year old girl with a 50 plus year old dude. What we want are the names of the 50 year old dudes, and they just keep refusing to admit that they have those or that they're willing to share those is what you're going to get is the names of a bunch of 17 year old girls. Well, nobody wants that.
But that's, of course, what Trump is gaslighting everybody with is like, you know, how do you guys not understand that we're trying to protect the privacy of the victims? Well, how how does fucking Trump now understand that nobody, literally nobody's asking for the victims information when people ask, oh well, well, but no, he was there with the. No, no, that's not what they're asking you for. They're saying release everything that I've ever heard.
I have not heard one person until you right now. That said, please just release the information of the men. Nobody. It's always release them all. Release the files. Now that you're you're misaligned. Hearing them. Nope. Or vision. They're both. No. Because that that is not what people are asking for. If you go on X and you look at see what are people asking for, it is the all the data that's been collected over the last six years about the perpetrators.
How can you have a six year long investigation that results in literally not a single there was no investigation. That's the whole thing, isn't there? I mean, this was like he was an investigation. Then why did we keep hearing about thousands of documents and thousands of hours? And we have I didn't hear anything. Boxes worth of content sitting in New York. There was not one press release.
There was not one comment for anybody in the government after he killed himself until 2025, there was nobody that mentioned the Epstein files in that time because there was no one next year. No one's that exactly there. The whole Biden administration, there was not one, you know, until them solved during Trump. There was. Right. But then there was the Biden, and there was nothing at all since the time he killed himself until 2025. The Trump administration had nothing out of them.
When they put him in prison where he killed himself. I'm sure they had things on him. Okay. What happened to that? What happened to what? To what they had out of him. I don't understand the. It's like you think it's a physical thing they have on him. There were accusations. There was testimony, which is what is going to be released if there's anything that's going to be released, was you interviews.
Are you saying you believe there's zero evidence to show that Epstein had anybody other than himself frolicking with these children? As far as I can tell, yeah. Nothing exists. The videos are oh, my God, you really are blind them. I'm sure they'll show me that. That's incorrect. Well, you can't that's. There's no right. Exactly. Because they won't release it. But no, that's not what they're not release again. So you want all the videos released is what you're saying is. Yes. Evidence.
Evidence includes videos. Includes photographs. Includes letters. Includes notes. Includes communication. Well, yes. But they're saying there are no letters. They're saying there are no notes. They're saying I don't know what they have as far as communication. They have likely impossible that they in there are no letters and notes. Why you think people this didn't happen in the 1960s where people did things by hand? No. Maybe it was on the computer. You don't believe encrypted hard drives?
I mean, you know how they released encrypted hard drives? People encrypted hard drive. That's it. You don't know what's on an encrypted hard drive. I mean, we all know. I mean, it's right there in the instructions thing, though. Yeah, because they don't know what on there. That's the whole issue. They have not known that this whole issue is they do know what's on there. And they're protecting people is what they know. They don't.
They say they have videos, but they say that's pretty much all they have are the videos. I know what they say. I'm saying what they actually have, not what they say they your proof of what they actually have is what my proof of what they actually have is they convicted a guy based on apparently less evidence. No, they have videos. They have videos of him doing bad things. Well, show them to us. We'll see. This is again very diplomatic. I don't buy it at all.
And none of the evidence that would be needed to convict somebody on what he was convicted on. And we're to assume, let's just understand that the tape, so however much there is that had him while he wasn't convicted this time, he was arrested, but he was never convicted. Goes well that but the videos that they have allegedly are him with underage girls. So the only way to release everything is to release a child videos. Years come from from him, I guess.
So a guy records himself breaking the law, a multi-billionaire. He says he wants to watch it back over and over again. I guess he records himself with underage girls, and he has an island that he goes to alone by himself with underage girls. And yet we have, what is a number been reported anywhere between 30 and 1000 women that have provided evidence against him. I don't know the exact number. Makes sense any more than WTC C7 falling.
I don't know what the number of women are sent, but it's very possible that he was recording himself doing these things. And if there were other people involved that he was not actually involved in the black movie. Everybody wants to believe there's a blackmail thing going, and there's an easy way to kind of figure this out. There would be a money trail because what else are you blackmailing people for?
If it's not for money and nobody has ever come out either the evening who has come out once said blackmail for blackmail information, right? But who is come out and selling that? Epstein blackmailed them. Nobody, not one person has come out and said, you know, that's how it usually works. People that are being blackmailed don't tell the story that failed because I did something now, but he's dead now. Nobody's even come out after. And men like, well, this guy's dead now. Whoever.
But Epstein was blackmailing my father, just like the guy. D.B. Cooper. And the girls came out creating a red herring that come. Oh, you're creating the red herring because it's like, where's the evidence? And show me. The thing is, we know the evidence is there because it's not there. I mean, that's ridiculous. No, what we know is what ended up happening. The guy got convicted twice. We know that there was not convicted in 2016. There were. This was like we understand that island 20 plus times.
That array came out years ago and now we can't get the information that was already leaked. Wait, you do not have the information that was already leaked. You have it if it's late. What do you mean? You know, for me, it was already leaked. What you don't have is a photo of the actual plane. What do you call the manifest? You don't have the. I haven't seen the photo of the manifest. Have. You know, but I'm not really looking. And I know those were released, and they're not releasing it.
Well, they sure that's what that's part of what Trump releases. That's great. But that's stuff everybody has already seen. They've already talked about it. The videos appear to be of Epstein and the underage girls, which is going to be a very interesting thing to be like, well, how do you how do you release that, know your content decently, the way they've always released that, which is by using a fucking blur, but you're not going to see anything. Oh, they're going to blur up Epstein.
You miss out knowing who the girl is. You're not going to really know if it's illegal or not, because you have to have that information to know that there were any girls at all. We don't know that he did anything wrong. We don't know that. Just saying Maxwell did anything wrong. How is she trafficking for something that didn't actually exist or didn't happen? But it did happen. So what's that? This is a I mean, I think we can all agree that. Well, was trafficking to her boyfriend. It appears so.
Let, like 20%. I'm not really sure that he's a friend's boyfriend right now. I don't think that they were. That was really necessarily their relationship. But that does seem to be the case from the evidence that is clear enough, which was in New York anyway. Epstein had young girls that were coming to give him a rub and tug, and then they all wanted to commit that the I'll go down the line of that. They were victims even though.
Yeah, when I went back 86 times and he paid me each time and I loved it. But now I'm the victim. But this is what they were coming in to do a rub and to again, get paid for it. They're not victims. They're prostitutes when they are in prison. And this is exactly, And are they? No. They're not. Well, why? Because they don't want to go. And they're the victims because their children do. You know, and I agree, but this is what the.
And this is confused me for a minute until I got more details, was Alan Dershowitz did new details come to light? Well, Dershowitz was the one that said, hey, because I was accused.
¶ Conspiracies, Client Lists, and the Missing Receipts: A Masterclass in Frustration
And then the girl took it back and said, no, I must have had you confused with somebody else. But he was then privy, and he was also Epstein's lawyer. So, I mean, go figure. But he was privy to the information that they have. And Epstein, I'm sorry. Dershowitz. Yes. And he says it's all there, but he can't talk about it. Right. He's a lawyer. Right. But because he also wants the government to release it. Right. Because did you hear after that?
I heard that, and I'm like, oh, well, this would lead me to believe that there's other men involved right now. He then clarified that it's the accusers, including the one that accused him that he believes were lying, and he wants all of this exposed. So, it's his thing. It's like. But now again, this will be great. You know, I will applaud if they release this information and then put these women that made false accusations against Epstein are the ones that are going to go to jail.
Yeah. Hilarious. I don't care which way the cards land. I'm not looking to justify Epstein bill. Guilty.
My, my problem is that the same people that we have videos of talking about how the Democrats are hiding the Epstein stuff for the Republicans now, because this is the other interesting publicans, the Republicans saying this like a year ago, a year ago, Dan Gino, a year ago, one of his hot topics, one of his main things was that we need to like Trump in order to be able to get to the bottom of the Epstein thing. Right. Same thing with the Indian dude whose name I forgot to tell him.
Yeah, same same thing when Trump was asked, are you going to release the Epstein stuff? He says, yes. And he says, well, well, we need to take a look to see the sensitivity to victims, but. Yeah. Right. Well, this is I mean, this is a big question. This is where the bombshell and I hate that term, but the victims might actually be the perpetrators, which would be saying, but we need to say that good. Protecting the wrong people. I don't care who it is. Right.
This is that's the thing is, what we got is we have the impression that started during Trump's administration that his good friend and we can say good friend because we literally have photos of Trump hanging out with Epstein starting with 1992. I don't think we classify that as good friends. I mean, we know people take photos all the time. That's been stayed in Mar-A-Lago multiple times. You know, show me all the information. I'm sure you got the details, all the paperwork.
Yeah. And I would if they released it. All we have is anecdotal evidence by people that say they saw him there. We don't have the actual him checking in documents. No, because who are they protecting? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody is. There's no. So they're willing to lose the next election. I still don't understand what you think is going to come out. I mean, again, what they I don't think anything's going to come out. No, no, no, I this is simple.
What you think they've been saying for many months now on both this show and my other show, I don't think that there will be any Epstein documents that come out. And I don't remember what you said. Maybe you don't care one way or the other, but dude named Ben was absolutely saying, oh, they're totally gonna come out. They're absolutely coming out. Trump is going to come up. And I'm right, I'm right doesn't mean I'm happy. Did they're not coming out.
I've always predicted they're not going to come out because they will never they will never allow the government to release documents that show that powerful men, including senators, were diddling girls. They're never going to let that happen. One, you would have to again have proof. And if they don't exist on video and have the proof, the people, it doesn't exist on the videotape.
Let's just say I have all the evidence they have from Epstein that there are no video tapes of anybody but Epstein with the girls. Then what? Then we know it's it's a total cover up. I think it may be a total cover up. It is a total cover up. I agree, and I think what this is, is part of the about it. This is part of the. Well, no, it's a waste of time, that kind of thing. Talk about it. But here we are. It's a waste of time. It is. It really is.
Because in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really mean a whole, no matter which way you stare means nothing. Okay. No, I didn't say character means nothing. But where there is rules, literally. What you're saying. No. Because if there's no proof there, it's like sometimes bad people do things and there's no proof. That's just lying. Like clarity to demonstrate that there was a single bad person. Because right now, what it look who's going to believe that's all the videos?
I mean, here's the beauty of it, too. It's being used to release everything. But as far as it being a political thing, this is the beauty which is not a political thing. It's a rich judgment. I don't really buy that either, because, other rich, non rich people could have me, that here's the evidence, I got it. No, it doesn't really work that way. All they have are people that were deposed. And it seems to me this is another MeToo thing, which is, oh, I want to be a part of this.
I can say I was a victim and nobody will know. I'll just say, oh, well, he's a he's his lawyer. I'll throw him in. And then they go, oh, what the pushback from Dershowitz, why this woman then went, nope, wasn't him, was it? No, sorry, I was mistaken. It's like this. You can't be mistaken in allegations like this and be like, no, no, I know he did this. And then, oh, wait, maybe I had him confused with somebody else. Like, that's where a whole case falls down.
But they don't have, you know, a client list. And even if they did, how do you know it's there is no client list? Because that name started being used about three months ago. It was never used again for the common stock. The concept is there is paperwork that would show who was, partaking in whatever illegal activity list. It's a guest list. Okay. Guest list. Now I'm, you know, I'm the bad guy. And I'm just I'm. I'm just going to put you never to leave on the list.
I'm gonna put, Donald Trump on the list. I'm. I'm going to just keep adding names to it. So that way if I go down, I'm taking all these people down. Being not a list would mean zero to any evidence that would hold up against anything. You'd have to have physical evidence. And I don't know what that would be. Again, at this point being a lot of this stuff allegedly happened, you know, a decade or more, if you don't have the video,
¶ Binders Full of (Nothing) Women: The Only Thing Getting Released is Disappointment
it's like maybe a lot of bad people got away with it. I agree that that is possible, but how you go after and you can't just go on the word of what somebody says because we know with the MeToo movement and all this, people are looking for a payday. They're like, hey, I'll get a big settlement. I'm going to be able to write a book.
I mean, maybe now that Epstein's dead, less so because there's less, I don't know, you know, if there's any money there as far as damages would be, what is the benefit in covering this whole thing up? Covering what up? The. That's again the what do you what do you believe is being covered up? Well, what's being covered up is that we literally have nothing. We just have binders full of garbage. You have the flight logs.
I mean, I don't know if they were the originals or what, but that was released. There was more than enough. So we have at the very least, we have a guy that when that was sentenced and found guilty in 2007, and then later, Trump was having underage girls in their late teens and warm sexual favors, went for money plane over 20 times, going to a private island. If you think there's nothing there, then I think you're just not looking. I love the whole again, but how do you bro?
Okay, so he was on the plane. The what do you see? I like by looking at the data and that there's no fucking data. And you never get what he unless you push to get it. That's the point. That's right. Push. What do you think of the pilots? World War two never happened. No, there's actual proof. There was never any World War Two. There's no proof. Nothing ever did. I think there is test to soil. But again, you know, you saw with your own eyes it must not have happened.
That was just idiotic arguments, dude. No, your argument idiotic. Because if you don't have any proof, you don't have any proof. You're not going to get any proof unless you ask for proof. You're not willing to ask for proof. Oh, you have to ask for proof. That's all you gotta do. Just go ask for proof. Go ask the island. Go ask the airplane. Give me proof. Did the US start the war with Japan? You really want to go see this is. This is how the rose would tell you. You're arguing.
You're just out jumping into other things because you have nothing. You got, you know, point that the US starting the war with Japan, we have proof of that which we didn't have for for years. Where are you gonna find that? Where are you looking for this question? Where are you looking for this magical proof? Where do you think it is? So here's what I would do if I was me. Let me answer your question this way, because I think this is maybe easier for you to see.
What I'm getting at might be an Al Capone's vault. If I was, if I was Trump, what I would do is say we look through all the data and what we found. It was this one crazy dude that was into underage girls who like to hang out with other rich people. And as hard as we look, as much data as we went through, there was nothing illicit that we found that anybody else did. Here's all the data that we can share with people's faces blurred that shows that nothing else happened.
Instead, they say, that wouldn't prove a topic the whole time since he was originally put in prison and then didn't kill himself. And then for six years, this went on. Now what? We're going to get to the bottom, we're going to get the plot on Pam. Pam does a whole little show and tell. Well, nothing was really going to be worse to come out and give some binders that are empty and say, what was this about that we're going to have two more batches coming out. We're going to release all the info.
This is part one which showed nothing. Well, the other part would obviously be the seal and a month later, a retest later. All they say is, you know, there's nothing. We're done. Move on. I think it's very telling with Trump saying release credible evidence, which you're now making the judgment call. And I understand why to a certain extent.
If they are trying to protect the girls, which it is, you have to admit, kind of a catch 22, which is you're dealing with a bunch of girls who were technically underage, but from the evidence that has come out, would appear to me that they were doing this willingly and this is very troublesome for the Democrats, who want children to be able to cut off their own genitals at age 12, to say, well, that 16 year old girl taking money to fuck, well, that's too far. That's illegal.
One no, I'll just call Jane Doe number seven and and nobody's got money to fuck, but nobody's going to like that thing, you know? That's not the evidence. Why are you covering it up? Who are you protecting? Which is what this turns out right now, they're literally. By having nothing at all, it sure as hell looks like they're protecting somebody. And I think what they're doing is protecting the the girls, which, hey, I'm fine.
I think the truth, if you've got anything else should come out, I wouldn't be protecting anybody, even 15, 16, 17 again, if you took money to do something, you knew what you were doing and then claim to be a victim. I have a problem with that because I think even that 15, 16, 17 you know well enough what you're doing that you can't. Okay. So are we agreed then most assume that there was never a blackmail scheme. There's nobody that I've seen was blackmailing.
All of that was just made up rumor bullshit. Unless anybody has a paper trail, I would have to say yes. That that again. Either it's the Mandela Effect is on. Well, how else did he make all of his money? I don't know, but if he made all of his money from blackmailing people, then that would be one thing you can represent to people like his brother, his neighbor, Dershowitz. Weinstein who, met with them. You listen to all these people that have personal interaction with them.
All of them say very similar things. They don't know how he's made his money. Right. Don't tell the people that we're coming to see him game to see him. Yeah, but there would be paperwork. I mean, the way they were going, he wasn't using Bitcoin baby. But that's the paperwork we want to get. And you're saying there isn't any sort of go away. Show me the banking records if you can get banking references. What argument.
You, the people that have the power to either show or not show, are the people that are the most interested in the cover up, which then they'd also be the people that could release totally forged banking records. Correct? Absolutely. Like a birth certificate. Like Obama's birth certificate, which we've seen though in multiple videos. So do you see why those layers of an image? Do you see why it's such a waste of time, though?
Because you're admitting that the people that want to cover it up, if it is in fact a cover up, well, let me evidence you. Most people, being human, make mistakes. So if you release enough information that you're trying to cover up, you will at some point miss something and release something you didn't intend to release. Or it could be intentionally put in there to put you down that path. Oh, it could. Absolutely it could. Sure. So again, I'm not really sure.
Now we literally have we're not going to tell you or give you anything period. Well that's not true. They gave you a lot of stuff that just was not very helpful. It seems it was a whole binder. Oh exciting stuff. The concept of lying was published stuff. Yeah, but what people really want are the things that don't exist because podcasters and the mainstream media, Fox News, had been bloviating for years. Others are Epstein client list.
And people heard that so much where they're now like, well, of course there's a client list that they have and you're making shit up. No I'm not. That's exactly because the is Epstein client list first originated four months ago. Oh, yeah. Nobody ever talked about a black book or a client list before that. Oh, no, they talked about a black book, but that's the same. No, no one right now is talking about a black book because black, the things because they're not going to release.
No, because they assume that he had one, which again, I don't know why you wouldn't use something encrypted, but that's just, well, he would that's the point. He's not writing writing down by hand. And can we also understand that even idiots who don't know what they're doing with disk encryption, the open source project, the very crypt, which has been around the way long enough before Epstein, they show you how you can create an encrypted part of a drive within an encrypted drive.
So somebody even forces you like, hey, Jim, you know, this drive is encrypted. You give them the key, and they just get a bunch of junk data. They don't realize there's an encrypted drive within the encrypted drive or a folder, you know, but you get the point. Yeah. TrueCrypt has been around for 20 years doing that. Yeah. So how would anybody ever find that information if you wanted to hide
¶ Blackmail, Bill Clinton, and Secret Hard Drives: The Investigation Folds in on Itself
something from the federal government? Jim, if I wanted to hide something and you knew what you were doing, nobody's going to find that information. It's probably at a hard drive, but nobody knows that there's another encrypted part of that drive. Or if they do, they can't get into it. It's not hard to keep information private, which again, a lot of people I know that sucks if somebody is investigating any case that all of the information could be right behind an encryption password.
But if you don't know where it is and you can't get into it, what can you do? All right, so if they have nothing, then what were they trying to convict Epstein of of dealing with the underage girls? I would guess they seem to have plenty of videos, according to Pam Bondi. And I know she's not the most legitimate source at this point, but there's a bunch of videos of him with underage girls at the time. I mean, now the girls are probably 50, so I don't know why they're quite that old. But.
So he was charged with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. Right. Which is taking your 17 year old to yourself. Sure you could. You could be trafficking them by taking them across state lines out of the country that is still trafficking, even to yourself. Okay. All right. Well, maybe, I'll give you that one. So. So that's all it is as far as you're concerned. All I've seen did was take a girl that he met through whatever means was under 18.
Probably more than one country. Yeah, probably more than one, but, probably more than one as far as the evidence shows. That's it. Now, obviously he had friends. Obviously people were with him at certain points, but there does not appear to be any evidence of that. So I don't know how you we don't know if there's any evidence because they're not going to share the evidence that they but they have the video. So again, you're not even. Well, if they come out and say, you know, Bongino, who was I?
I've seen I've seen Epstein. If he comes out now and says, I've seen all the videos and it's just him with girls, there's nobody else involved. Do you believe that then or no? So who do you believe anybody? Do you believe anybody that would do that? And independent federal, what do you call them? No, we have a name for it. Independent special prosecutor. There you go. Yeah, yeah. Somebody that essentially is working for Congress, not for the president, although they should certainly do that.
And that would brush everything right on. I think that would. Yeah. Like Ken Starr back in his day, just not the guy that was going after Trump, though. That was obviously a, a fucking shill. What the shit that was going after Trump in the end found nothing true. Even the shill that was clearly against Trump after, what, four months, five months investigation? Still, his final report basically said, there's nothing here, we got nothing. Yeah. And like, okay.
But that that's much better than what we're having right now. Yeah. That would bring out this is one place I do agree with AG Guru's favorite Bill O'Reilly. Bring out Merrick Garland. He was the guy that was in charge. He knows what's in those files. Have a joint press conference with, you know, him and Bondi and everybody saying that, you saw Nancy Pelosi said Trump is right. We need to not spend any more time on Epstein. I mean, to me, that's yet another reason that likely they're lying.
When you did not see Pelosi make leadership from the other side, step over and say, there's nothing to see here. I have not seen Nancy allegedly been covering this up for the last four years. Is Pelosi still alive? Apparently. I mean, I don't know what she's drinking every morning, but it's something like the, the Fountain of Youth drink or something. It must be. Must be causing the distraction to which it is. Although, to be fair, it's a distraction to both sides.
Equally, I think at this point and then the, these, idiots on the, conservative side that are saying, that, just, you know, you gotta you gotta listen to Trump, you gotta trust Trump. It's like, fuck you, dude. I don't trust any politician. I trust evidence, I don't trust politicians to. Yeah, but further than I can throw them the catch 22 is the politicians are allegedly in control of the evidence. So anything that you get is then Sully.
And I think Trump did make a major misstep by pointing out, well, there may be things in here that aren't legitimate because it was under the Biden, the Department of Justice, FBI, these things. Yeah, Trump's trying to blame all this on Biden, which I get. You know, he always does that. But you got to remember two things. One is Epstein first got arrested when George W Bush was president. Epstein got arrested the second time when Donald Trump was president.
Like, neither one of these investigations about Epstein happened with a Democrat in office. No, he just sat there and, the file said, I mean, he was dead, but the case sat with nothing going on for four years of Biden. Allegedly. Yeah. I mean, I was amazed because, again, this I do think that the likely there is something that the Biden administration is trying. Right. I mean, I understand that part. I mean, I was kind of shocked when I went in and did the search, couldn't find anything.
That, of course, went to, the perplexity. I and said, any government official, any official government release anything from the government under Biden about the Epstein case, that's like nothing. Crickets. Nothing. So it's like, no. So nothing was still being investigated. I mean, I know he was that dead. So I mean, I understand where that might,
¶ Trafficking Technicalities and the Slippery Slope of Victimhood
play a role in it, but you would think that if people really wanted to, bring this story to light, the Democrats had plenty of chance. They had four years to do an investigation. And I think we all know if there was anything when people want to use this politically, who everybody assumes and as we're talking with evidence, this stuff is coming out in dribs and drabs. It's not like you're really getting a full mother load at any one time.
So for people that are like, oh, the Republicans are just protecting some of their own, oh, the Democrats are just protecting some of their own. It's like, no, the first one who had it would have just called out the other one and got rid of the evidence against theirs. I mean, it's not that hard, but this that's the mistake. Again, this is where I say it's a red herring because it's never been the Democrats versus the Republicans on this.
It's been the rich people that like the little girls against normal people. So you just think everybody in government are rich people that want to diddle girls? No, I think that rich people have a much better sway with government, and plenty of rich people are in government. Sure. And that's not where we assume Epstein was rich. He was a billionaire. A billion. I don't think he was really a billionaire. Was he? According to testimony, he was. Well, who is testimony, though?
I mean, that's again the question, because then how did he wind up in jail? I mean, that's for all the people that are like, oh, he was working for the CIA or Mossad. And it's like, do you think you can get arrested? I mean, what fucking world are you watching that that little bit came from the prosecutor of his arrest during George Burgess firm. When asked why the deal was made to, you know, to let him go originally, why didn't he, end up saying in jail? The prosecutors replied to that.
Was that he. I was told he said that he was working with the what was his phrase? I don't want to mess up exactly what he said, but essentially that he was working with the government agencies, with spies, with whatever. And you can look up the Google for what his exact phrase was, but it was the prosecutor from his first arrest that made that initial statement that made people now think that, oh, well, he's working for for Israel.
He's working for the U.S government, he's working for the UK, he's working for Saudi Arabia. Like all of these have been proposed. These are all theories online. Interesting. His, net worth, estimated at the time of his death, was 560 to 600 million. Okay. So we've done a little bit. He doesn't have a undisclosed $40 million investment in Peter Thiel's Valor Ventures, now worth about 170 million, which is the largest remaining asset in his estate, it says.
But you know, again, where I saw what happened to his estate, that's another good question. Well, it says a large portion of his fortune has been used for victim compensation, with more than 120 million distributed to over 135 women who accused him of abuse. Now, here's if you want to talk about a payday and why you're the right age, why you can then step up and say, nope. I mean, ladies, if you're the right age, I mean, Jeffrey Epstein did old me protect that person, right?
If you got a million plus payout for saying that Epstein brought you to an island and had sex with you, I'd say you should give up your anonymity at that point. You got paid? Yeah, you got paid twice. They got paid by Epstein, was paid by the government. Vaguely. That's a hell of a ham job. It's, Was it worth it? Probably not. Well, it is when they don't it again. You're absolutely right. The anonymity for these victims. And again, these aren't women that were kidnaped.
You know, I know that happens. This is girls who did something on their own wild. They did it knowing what they were doing. And if you're going, I'm gonna try to make this case that. Oh well they were under 18, so they have to be protected. Well, you know, unless they want to fucking cut their tits off and then it's fine at 12, then they can make that decision at 12. But no, they can't decide if they want to fuck somebody or give them a hand job at 16 or 17. No, that's wrong.
But no, at 12 they can, decide that they want to, cut off their genitals. It's a great concept. The Democrats have. So Epstein's apparently for the case for the last one, the one six years ago, they had 26 hard drives of his that they collected. Yeah, which makes sense, because I think she said there was, like 30 something gig, which the what were hard drives back at that point. They weren't really, multi terabytes. Yeah. A terabyte or two.
If you were cheap, they might still be 500 gig apiece maybe. I don't think he was cheap, but. Okay.
¶ Payday for Trauma: Compensation, Anonymity, and the Victim Industrial Complex
Well no. But again this is albums, handwritten notes, blueprints of multiple properties that he owned, video footage, and 40 electronic devices. That's kind of vague. Electronic devices. I mean, pagers, phones. Maybe cassette recorders. Yeah. I think all of that would count is those devices. Let's see if the AI knows hundreds of digital devices and backups, including LTO tape cartridges with full digital backups. Wow. It's been a long time since I've seen the tape backup tape cartridge.
Yeah, yeah. Hard drives, including Seagate, Barracuda Pass 100 and various external and internal drive. Seagate. I mean, they're loving. Yeah. Hey, we are the choice. I mean, I know I have a bunch of Seagate to like. They're good. They don't go bad easily multiple these. I don't know if they're so good anymore. They used to be good for sure.
Multiple desktops, laptops, iPads, iPhones and USB drives, various digital recorders and voice recorders, digital media discs containing photos, videos and logs, well over 100,000 images, and videos of illegal activities involving minors. Although it does not say whether he was involved in those 10,000 and is.
That's a very important thing because, again, I'm not saying it'd be impossible to have 500 videos of a guy recording himself breaking the law with minors, but it's extremely unlikely I don't know, he might. He seems like he was kind of a, a little pervy on the matter. So we might want to watch it over and over and over. It says there's a video of Trump from 2000 talking about Bill Clinton, saying, yeah, I think Bill's going to have a problem with all the visits that he's had to that island.
That was that shortly after he kicked him out of Mar a Lago. Was that the, no, he kicked them out of Mar a Lago. I think that was the I think he said that beforehand because he kicked him out of our Lago in 2016. Substantial material classified as child sex abuse imagery and other pornography. Most will never be released due to victim protection laws. This from an FBI memo that just came out. Yeah, but Polaroids and framed photos of victims and associates.
I mean, who wouldn't keep Polaroids and photos of victims and associates? Yeah, yeah, victims and associates. I like the way they phrase that.
¶ Epstein’s Archives: Hard Drives, LTO Tapes & Butt Plugs—The Weirdest Inventory Ever
Photo negatives, photo bundles, photographic prints, massage tables and related equipment. Ooh, collection of sex toys, vibrators, butt plugs, handcuffs, whips, etc.. Hey, excetera, what's in there? A female costumes, wigs and bust sculptures. Cash found in various denominations, including envelopes reportedly used in transactions with victims. And see this again. Yeah. You don't I get it.
That's that's your biggest sticking point is that these girls were all paid and therefore they're not victims. Yeah. I mean, I understand why the case is being made because. Oh, underage. But again, you're making the case that, these girls didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't, you know, and it's not just the underage girls with this. It's the cases like that have been brought up against, Trevor Bauer. You know, the Major League Baseball player.
What's the actual name? But. Okay, DJ Donkey Punch, you know, the guy from the 70s show, that's what he goes by. What's the game played? Hide. That 70 show. You know the guy I'm talking about? I forget his name. I do know the guy you're talking about. Yeah, but in his case, again, that was something his girlfriend was, you know, claimed he did something. It's like, oh, but I'm. I'm reading the case. I'm like, well, right after he did that to you, you, you broke up with him, right?
No, no, we dated for another year and a half. And it's like well then it wasn't that big of a deal to you. Yeah. That you should be bringing him up on charges. This is still my point is that I don't care if, if what we find out if at the end of this, if we were to actually see the documents, maybe the conclusion that most people come to is Epstein was innocent and was set up by the U.S government. Well, I want to know that too. Yeah.
I don't care who in the end comes out the winner and loser and that's what I don't like is the government, and especially a government full of people that promised to get to the bottom of this, to then come out and say, you need to go away, there's nothing here. But because they're like, oh, now we don't want to release the names of the victims. Oh, Danny Masterson, thanks.
Did you girl, I remember DJ was keeping something, but I didn't remember Danny Masterson, but Deejay Donkey Punch, I mean, that's a much better, named flume that you would go by. And I'm. I'm the nom nom de plume. Yes, indeed.
And again, it's interesting the, you know, only to a certain extent because I don't know, in a case like this, if there is anything that can be released that will satisfy a majority of people, well, and again, mostly this is this is the fault of both the Biden and the current Trump administration, because what they should have done is be transparent early on as much as they could, so that it would be obvious to everybody this is a big pile of nothing.
But when you don't provide any data and then you come out and say, well, we looked at it and we decided there's nothing here, now go away. That looks suspicious, man. Trump literally ran on. We're gonna make the the FBI get reformed. We're going to put out the, the Kennedy files, all the details of what happened, the case files, their McCabe files. Exactly. The RFK files. All of these are going to be released because the government has no business hiding things.
And then within six months of their administration, seven months, they literally do the exact same thing that previous government administrations have done with all these same things. They MLK, the JFK, the RFK, which is. Yeah, there's nothing here. Oh, no, not one gun. They just got shot. Well, do you think they looked at what was in there and went, oh fuck, where do they look at it and go, oh no, we can't release that. Or was it. We looked at it and you know what?
There really is my suspicion that I have no evidence for whatsoever other than this never stopped you before, Gene. Thank you. Other than a likelihood, there has to be something in there that embarrasses somebody that they really don't want to be embarrassed. Now, who who would they not want to be embarrassed? A lot of people suggest Israel. So let's look at Israel. So what would be the worst thing that happened if this comes out?
And it shows that Epstein was taking photos of the guys that were also coming through this island, also with underage girls, but whom the government hasn't charged. And Israel was blackmail. Telling these people to do something. Okay. People would be further pissed off about Israel. We would probably end sending money to them. Okay. And that's it. Nothing else bad happens to anybody. It's like, this came out. This was a horrible thing. They were spying on people, right?
But the people they were spying on were the ones doing the illegal acts, like Israel having a camera in the Bahamas in a brothel is not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. Would you agree or disagree? I mean, I would expect there to be cameras everywhere at this point, even from, right. The aspect of most places, even in the Bahamas, we'll have security cameras are hooked up to something where anybody around the world, especially agencies that are good at that.
Exactly. They have access. So that to me is a non it's a nothing burger that there's not enough there to justify losing the midterms, which is very likely at this point. There's not enough there to justify that risk. Let's say that he was actually working for the US government and this was a sanctioned blackmail program run by the US government. That's much more critical to keep covered up, because you you know, it's one thing to make the the Israelis look bad.
It's another thing to make us look bad, to make the US government look bad, to make it look like, holy shit, we do this. This is like a, what's like everybody was surprised when George Bush said, waterboard the sons of bitches. It's like a Nixon moment. Yeah, it's like Americans finding out about the sort of things that happen in politics that they're not supposed to find out about.
Or it's like the Edward Snowden moment, Edward Snowden, where all of a sudden we discovered that, yeah, there was actual approval from the courts to allow the NSA to record every single American citizens conversation, and nobody did anything to stop it. Not a single person in the U.S government opposed that program until Snowden made public. Now, this is a dirty little secret, and I think this very likely could have been another dirty little secret.
Well, the intriguing thing here, the official review findings. After a comprehensive review by the FBI and DOJ, it was determined that the mere material includes over 300GB of data. And what I hate when they say over a tiny amount. Well, this is what I'm thinking 300GB of data.
¶ Prostitution, Prosecutors, and the Thin Technical Line of the Law
I have two hour movies and ten ADP that are more than 300GB. Exactly. What? Not exactly. But you know, it wouldn't no, probably wouldn't take a lot of video, especially if you're doing 4K. Oh yeah. 4K videos of my my gaming videos that I put out on YouTube are 12 gigs apiece. Yeah. So this 300 gig over 300, what does that mean? Does that mean 300TB instead of gigabytes?
It's over. Does it mean 301? I don't know, but it says no incriminating client list or proof of organized blackmail by Epstein was signed by U.S. authorities, and the majority of unreleased evidence is sealed due to privacy laws protecting the identities of the victims. Which again, I say, hey, they got paid. Like you said, if you got your money, if you got the money, if you're going to take the payout. Yeah. Then part of it should be, you put your name on it rather than.
Oh, no. Anonymous people said it's like it doesn't make sense. I mean, it does make sense. It does. And I get I've never I've never been overly concerned. I mean, I and this is going to sound bad, but I've never been overly concerned with what the guy did. I'd been more concerned with what the guy enabled other people to do. Yeah, it's all extreme. I don't care how much of a pervert the Abscam scene. Woods. Eckstein. Yeah. Epstein was somebody that only knows his secret code name.
XD exactly that scene he went by Mr. X, that was his, pseudonym. I'm more concerned about the people that went on his planes to specifically his island. I don't care if somebody took Epstein's plane to go to Chicago. Don't care. But when you have people like Bill Clinton who took his plane to the island, we have logs. And these did get leaked. Yes, over 20 times.
And then Trump, who was best friends with Bill Clinton for many years, but not Hillary, have tons, tons of photos of him and Melania and the Clintons hanging out doing stuff like, no way Bill wanted this amount of money to the Clintons, who were voted Democrat, by his own admission, for almost 60 years. When that guy tells us there's nothing to see here, I get suspicious. Maybe he's Clinton, he's protecting his old buddy.
Yeah. Which is a lot of the, conspiracy theorists now believe they talked about. I think I know agenda, unless I'm imagining it. Now, you released the evidence which buries Bill Clinton and the Democrats, all y'all. And Trump goes. He didn't want to release it. You force me to release it. Well, and this is the thing, this is also the stupidity and the, gaslighting. A tweet from Trump.
If there was a, quote, smoking gun unquote on Epstein, why didn't the Dems, who controlled the files for years and had Garland and co me in charge? Why did they not releasing anything? Well, again, right, it's because Democrats are more likely to be on that list than Republicans. But both are likely to be added, frankly. But just because they didn't release it though. So I mean that you shouldn't. I agree that it doesn't make sense because Trump and his people had at first.
So if you immediately got this evidence and you get a Barry Joe Biden, you know, they would have done it in, so I'm thinking if and I have no doubt that it is possible, the debauchery that everybody thinks was going on with other men that were being brought to the island, what happened? I just don't think there's any evidence of it. I don't think this was a case where he was videotaping everybody, where he was blackmailing people. I mean, I think just the opposite.
I think the video, it appears unless somebody maybe he got smart and encrypted all of those videos, too.
But nobody's like, hey, Gene, there's a like, 48TB worth of hard drives, but it appears that there's nothing on, you know, there's none of that going on either, because then you'd go see if they would at least have a bunch of that, you'd be like, oh, actually, if we proclaim the Democrats or the previous administration for literally destroying evidence, that would go a long way to exonerating the current administration. But what they did makes them look extremely guilty.
Well, it's a no win situation. I mean, I get it. The bloviating of, you know, and I don't give the same weight to the people that are like, who will pay. But he said this stuff, the client list was on her desk. It's like, no, she didn't. Words fucking mean things. Fucking retards. They were asking her about when will this be released? And she's like, it's all on my desk for me to look at. Could even say she never looked at it.
So it's like, how would you know if you told me, hey, that's how my desk or my team. Did you get to this yet or. No, it's on my desk. For me to look at. It means you have no idea what's in it because you haven't looked at it. You didn't say, well, I've looked at this, and here's what I found. And these people, like, well, she was either lying then or she's lying now. It's like, stop being fucking clickbaity, Megan Kelly.
It's like two fucking angry blonds going after each other, which pay per view. That would be great. But two degree blonds, I think I saw that movie. That's not. We should make that movie. It would be great. Well, to be a good podcast. I could make that movie pretty easy, Pam Bondi, Megan Kelly, two angry blonds coming soon to an actual blond. But yeah, well, it's, you know. Hey, and I know this boxer. Once I know the sponsor who makes hair coloring, that'd be the sponsors for.
There you go, there you go. Yeah, it's it's a bad look. And and when you have people that voted for you that have been your supporters, for literally the four years that you kept saying I was my election was stolen and that got you over the hump this election. And then you're calling them idiots and morons and that they're, you know, they're worse than the Democrats because they don't believe them. I mean, you get mad when people don't believe him.
Yeah, he gets mad when when people ask for proof. It's truly amazing and there is no proof and they still do this, I understand. Again, this is a very slippery slope, but the way you say there is no proof can be done many different ways. Him saying there's no proof. As I looked at it, I'm deciding there's nothing there now move on. There's nothing to see. I mean, let's get it done again is shared what you have say the Democrats destroyed everything else.
We wish we could give you more, but it literally doesn't exist because the demonstrate the it because it was destroyed. And we have. And here's the other thing. Say that we are starting in the investigation two to find who allowed the evidence to be destroyed. Start that that would go a long way to making people be thinking, yeah, you're actually doing something. Donald Trump opens his walnuts with a sledgehammer. We all know he does nothing little. It's always one massive thing.
Well, and it doesn't matter for him because it's his final term. So he doesn't give a shit. So it's kind of like whatever. But I think who it matters for it is, well, Congress for one, the House and Senate matters for because they've lost the midterms at this point. I also think that, it's going to matter for, his VP, who was, I think, by all accounts, projected to be the most likely successor to run as a Republican for president for years from now.
I think they've just it's probably still going to happen, but they've made that be a more of an uphill battle at this point than it needed to be. It will just be funny to me if the data that they release turns out to then go after the women on the list with oh no, they made false claims, it'll be hilarious to watch if that be the main thing. I, I don't disagree. I think that's what Dershowitz wants, rightfully so.
If he was accused and was not guilty, I understand why people get a little pissed off. Guys. What's his name? The guy that played, House of cards? Spacey. Spacey. Spacey's been tweeting like crazy, saying release the data is like, hey, I'm supposed to be one of the guys that went to the island. I know what I did, what I didn't do, released the data, and everybody will see that I did nothing.
Yeah. Let's also understand that a lot of this wouldn't, if he were taking testimony, might have been before people to know that Spacey was gay. Yeah, exactly. You know. No, he like the young girls like, No, he was not diddling any girls, that's for sure. I, I don't know, I have not heard of any guys being on the list, which also. Well, no, would lead me to believe this wasn't Epstein procuring for friends more that this was just his thing. And, of course, yeah, he had friends.
Yeah. And and I think we're in a very dangerous spot here also with the, the other lawsuit that just ended, what's his name? The, the baby oil guy. Oh, he did it. Yeah. Because it was very similar. It's like, no, no, nothing here. A whole bunch of people talking about how these were crazy ass gay parties where people were blackmailed. Right? It goes through the courts. Nope. Nothing happened. One count of prostitution. That's a. Well, it was ridiculous.
No. Like why you're really going to even hold this guy? The only thing that I can tell he was convicted of was paying prostitutes who flew across state lines. Again, this is where the trafficking literally all it was. That's literally all it was. Yeah. So your favorite fucking male prostitute, dude. Gigolo. Is that what they call him? Still, is that just a gigolo? I guess, you know, he paid this guy to fly from Vegas to New York. Well that's trafficking.
No, that was a guy going on a business trip. I don't exactly. You know, it's not fucking. You know, if that's what all you have. Fuck you. Government. If that's all you have against somebody. That is ridiculous. Because the world is changed drastically with how people move around and the shit that goes on on the internet, it is absolutely ridiculous. And and like kinky sex is not illegal or shouldn't be anyway. But blackmailing people is right. So where is that blackmailing going on there?
Don't we have blackmailing going on? That was an act, you know, again, here's the question. Like, was it actual blackmailing or did you think, did he had a photo of you or a video of you? So you know, you were a reporter. So blackmail has to have some and some demand, right?
¶ If You Got Paid, Show Your Face: Unmasking Secret Settlements
Exactly. It's not blackmail. It's somebody just says, hey, you remember that stupid thing you did in college? I took a photo. Yeah, yeah, I still have that. Pretty funny. Yeah. What's that in your mouth? They get so it's. And these days. What can you even blackmail people with? Right. Everything's, like, normalized, right? I mean, underage would be the one thing that would be by far, because, like, what else? You're right.
Because there's nothing else that's literally going to be like, wow, look at that guy with three women. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He looks like he's having a good time. No, nothing illegal about what's going on there. So yeah, the underage thing. Yeah. We're even like, what's his name? That comedian that, like, masturbating in front of people? Oh. Louis C.K., Louis C.K., I'll be back. Nothing happened. Make it big. Make millions of dollars doing concerts. But he asked.
He never did it without asking. That's polite. But he did. He really? I didn't know it. Yes. And then again, this is where the crux of what is right and wrong again, I guess there were some women that said that said yes and then sat and watched for an hour. Yes. And then said yes. Right. Change their mind. Yeah, I post, I guess the show wasn't that good. I don't know. Yeah. So I want my money back. I'm going to refund my ticket. Right. You can't do that. You can't say yes.
I mean, if somebody isn't, you know, again, this is where even with anybody in the public eye, it's like you have to get male or female. You have to have your sexual partner, I think, sign a, you know, contract that, you know, you're going to have sex. And. Absolutely. I've done that after getting divorced for everybody afterwards. I mean, it's absolutely documents showing that we're going to do certain activities and you're willing to consent to them. Right?
Because otherwise you can just come back after and go, nope, I didn't I didn't want to do that. Right, exactly. But you were the one that said we should do that. Well, I don't care. I didn't want to do that. But it was your idea, I guess, yesterday where they were talking about, a study that just came out that shows an overwhelming female, interest in and predilection to being dominated sexually, like, kind of figured that out. Yeah, yeah. Well, I you were quiet, so I figured I'd jump.
I was sipping my liquid. Actually, in their study, they found that more women prefer to be dominated sexually than to not be dominated sexually. Well, this is where we are. Even with the culture. People just went nutso.
And I don't know if the I think the album came out, but the Sabrina Carpenter, who was the little Disney girl who is now, I think around 2830 somewhere around there, just released an album where the album cover, I mean, again, this is why you don't want CDs, you want a nice big 12 inch. Hey, the ladies like, I like a nice big 12 inch. It is of a very provocative picture of her in a little black dress on her knees in front of a man right at his crotch.
So you don't see the guy, you know, his face or anything, but you see that his hands, like, in her hair. And it's like, this is what is being released. It's like, that goes right along. Check this out. It's got to be online, right? It has to be. It goes along with exactly what you're saying. And, you know, it makes perfect sense. I guess. But this is, maybe a changing world. Maybe this is, you know, she's like, all of, like, that picture. Okay. The man's best friend is the name of the album to.
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, it's going to be released on August 20th. That guy in the suit, that's an island. Looks like these, she's got she's on the floor on all fours, and
¶ The Ultimate Government Shrug: Trust Us, We’re Sharing… Absolutely Nothing
and he has her hand around his back of his knee, and then he's pulling her hair towards his crotch. Yeah, there's nothing suggestive about that at all thing whatsoever. This is like, typical, you know, teenage music clearly. Well, this is your typical teenage girl hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, I think. Oh, shit. Look at that. Yeah, yeah. Interesting how that all works. Well, you know, here's a whole bunch of photos of her and just her underwear. You know what?
There should just be fun, I guess. That sort of stuff, right? Yeah. Like lingerie. Is her underwear okay? Right. All right. This is like, what's a proper on stage? And it's like, oh, well, this is what we're teaching the kids. This is great. The only thing that would make. But maybe they have time before the album comes out in August. Yeah, they should just have a few, Benjamins laying on the ground like a fly in. Like the.
His had the one hand in her hair, the other should just be tossing the money at her. We don't mean for this to demean women. I'm just pointing out exactly what's on an album cover that's coming out as Gina. That's me. No, literally. Literally an album cover. Yeah. One that hasn't come out yet. So be wondering maybe or preorder kids because this could be like the Beatles butcher cover the M eight. That's, I know, aging myself even though I wasn't around when the Beatles Butcher cover came out.
But this could be one of those that's like, although I don't know, nobody goes to stores. So it's not like people can be like, my kids get to see that in the record store. Yeah, it's there. You're going to see it on Amazon or wherever it's sold, I guess. Right. And they'll just blur that out.
But in the end, just to wrap up and finish the whole obscene thing, my point is, people like me are not happy about someone in the government simply saying, trust us, we're the government and we're here to help. By, people like you mean aging Jewish men with diabetes? Yes. I mean by people with a higher than normal like you. You're absolutely right. But I would, make the contention that there is no winning move here. I don't think there's anything.
I think they overplayed a hand and assumed there was things there that were. It did again, I'm not saying that all the things you believe happened didn't happen. I just don't think there's evidence of it. Yeah. No, I agree, and I would like to know either where that evidence is, is or why it doesn't exist. And that's the issue is they're not telling us way more than simply saying there's no evidence that there's there are many ways to present something like this.
Let's say truly, that there is nothing there. It's like, it's nothing. Like I said, there are many ways to tell people it's nothing. Burger, some of which gets people to nod their heads in agreement. Go, oh, holy shit. Yeah. So it's been just hyped up for no good reason.
And then there's the way to do it, like the, Kennedy assassination and say, yeah, there's nothing here, which has literally hundreds of unraveling threads that kind of lead you into saying, yeah, but it looks like there is there was all this said the inventory. No. Did look like a, hostage when he was released. Coldly. Did he is he is is skin color was three shades lighter than normal. He looked like he was a living dead. So I don't know what that says about any of the conspiracies whatsoever.
If this was just him not wanting to tell lies or even more narrowed the normal. Yeah, if he just was eating, didn't want to eat crow and come out because he knows how. I'm still getting hundreds of people hitting a like on my post, so I it's all good for me. I would we while we, shamed CSB, he did come in with another 333 and says, okay, here's another 333 as a reward for your hard work today. All right, more shekels. Yossi SB well, thank you. That's all we have to do.
We only have a few people donating, so we have to milk them for every last Satoshi that we can. Where the rest of you. Come on. Yeah, exactly. Did you. Good, bones. Dude.
¶ Hair-Pulling Album Art and Domination Studies: Music, Culture, and Modern Morality
Steam bears, net net. I don't see no boosts now. Oh, I know now. We had a guy drop off, supporting the monthly's on, just good old boys. Well, that is a good, heresy theorist. We did a whole screen. We said, guys, you know, I don't know if we can continue this show. We got to get some more money. Sure enough, within two days, somebody came in with another donation that was even bigger. Every time I watch Max velocity now, I can't help but just see the dollar signs.
Every super chat that comes in and people that subscribe do enjoy what is it like on YouTube? He's like, oh, thanks for becoming some kind of member. So there's like memberships on YouTube too. Besides the super chats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you can set your own prices for memberships. Like, I had mine at a buck 99, which is a no brainer.
But some people, you know, if you got a bit, the bigger your audience to hire, you can price your membership to basically make some more people for like 20 bucks. More people will give. The more you can ask for. Well, it's a self the the beauty of donations on YouTube is it's kind of self, priming itself. Priming system.
Like once a number of people start donating others that have been thinking about it but weren't sure if it was worth doing, they now feel like, well, shit, everybody else is doing it. So I should. You know, I've thought about this in the past. Should we just be reading made up boost amounts coming up? Oh, wait. Look, we just got 8942 from, Sabemos. Wow. Thank you, sir. Beam rose. Why, no one would believe that wasn't that bad, remember? Of course. Yeah. He's never spent a Satoshi in his life.
No, no, but, I think, yeah, that's a legitimate thing. Like marathons versus marathons, whatever you on, call them, quite often need to be primed with fake donations in order to get real donations coming in. Yeah, that's a been happening for ever. We'll send Sabrina Carpenter over to your house. Your donations day. Nothing good for you, but it's any good for me, right? Yeah. Give me you.
