00:00:00.180
All right, welcome back to Fluggist Talks, the podcast, episode 352 today on the show.
00:00:07.760
Is Hantavirus the next pandemic? We'll tell you why it might be.
00:00:11.500
Then Republicans had some big gerrymandering wins this week.
00:00:16.320
Then in Cringe of the Week, Waymo driverless cars are putting people in danger.
00:00:21.740
And last but not least, in Urban Decay, I tell you why we can't let repeat offender frustration
00:00:30.000
All this and more is Fleckus Talks, the podcast, episode 352, ranked the best news podcast of all time.
00:00:41.320
Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:00:47.140
But at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing to do.
00:01:00.000
all right one for one on the intro as always guys you probably noticed that protein is king
00:01:10.840
this year starbucks just launched a protein cold foam there's protein oatmeal everywhere
00:01:16.000
and new protein drinks are constantly popping up but the source of your protein makes a huge
00:01:21.540
difference 30 grams of pea protein will leave you bloated gassy and hormonally off but 30 grams of
00:01:27.200
high-quality animal protein keeps you full for hours, curbs sugar cravings, and gets absorbed
00:01:32.340
way better. That's why Farmer Bill's Biltong Jerky is my go-to snack. He's perfected the craft
00:01:38.100
of air-dried beef. Farmer Bill's is similar to jerky, but it's marinated in apple cider vinegar,
00:01:43.140
sea salt, and spices, and then air-dried for seven days. The result is a nutrient-dense steak you can
00:01:49.220
just throw in your bag and take anywhere. Each piece is loaded with complete protein, healthy
00:01:54.380
fats, and zero junk. There's no sugars, no seed oils, and nothing fake, and it comes in four
00:02:00.100
great flavors. There's original, smokehouse, spicy chili, and garlic and herb. You can get it sliced
00:02:05.920
or try their beef sticks. Farmer Bill's wife also makes three different tallow bombs that are
00:02:10.840
fantastic for keeping your skin moisturized and youthful. If you've never tried it, see what you've
00:02:15.900
been missing out on. Thousands of show watchers have switched to this as their go-to protein snack.

00:02:58.280
A lot of things in the news, the gerrymandering stuff, and obviously the Hantavirus.
00:03:09.420
And I was just telling him before that we even started filming, like, Hantavirus, whether
00:03:13.260
or not it's going to become something crazy, like the right-wing PTSD reaction to pandemic
0.96
00:03:18.540
shit is going to make us, it's going to make it real one way or another, right?
0.99
00:03:22.720
That's what I think too. And we're going to get into all the theories and what I think it's going
0.99
00:03:26.040
to be. That's a couple of stories in, but I want to start with this story. There was a change to
00:03:30.580
the grading system that I wasn't aware of. And it obviously changed since we've been in school.
00:03:35.180
So the kids are doing even worse now than we thought. Can you go over California's public
00:03:39.580
grading scale? Yeah. This was a Facebook post by a California parent. And they said, when did this
00:03:44.380
become the recommended grading standard grading standard i guess my child doesn't have to work so
00:03:48.480
hard to get an a anymore and you get an a all the way from 84 to 100 a b is 64 to 84 a c is 44 to
00:03:58.520
64 d is 24 to 44 and an f you have to get 24 or worse to get an f and i'm reading this right now
0.92
00:04:06.900
and it's almost hard to believe there's a bubble yeah call it call it the kids are retarded there's
0.94
00:04:12.480
a bubble. There's a bubble. Short everything. Short everything. There's a bubble. And when we
0.96
00:04:16.880
went to high school, I think it's the same for both of us. And A was 90 to 100, A minus all the
00:04:22.100
way to A plus. B was 80 to 89. C was 70 to 79. D was 60 to 69. And then basically below 60,
00:04:29.340
you're failing. Yeah. And then now anything higher than a 64, you could be on the honor roll. Yeah.
00:04:35.480
You're a national honor roll student. It's so insane. And I remember very distinctly,
00:04:39.820
I had an 89.7, I think in a class and I had to like make a case to my teacher why I should
00:04:47.260
get an A minus and he gave it to me, but like making a case now you can get a 64, you got
00:04:53.740
Now, when someone says they have a D average, you go, oh, you must be in the sixties, almost
00:05:06.160
And obviously, you guys know kids are performing now worse than ever when it comes to standardized tests and reading and math and writing efficiency.
00:05:16.480
Found a student who's passed three classes in four years and is ranked near the top half of his class.
00:05:22.420
We're not letting none of this get the best of us.
00:05:30.740
Like, I told him I probably would start crying.
00:05:32.660
Like, my son is, I don't know what to do for him.
00:05:34.420
This coming June is when Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma.
00:05:40.260
And I'm just trying to fight. He's like, Mom, what was all this for?
00:05:44.040
What did I do this for? Like, don't he get a chance? Do he get a chance?
00:05:48.580
But after four years of high school, this mom just learned her 17-year-old has to start over.
00:06:00.600
it's like what was all this for i don't think you did anything at all the whole time yeah what do
00:06:08.320
you mean what all this it was nothing you were hanging out with your friends doing nothing
00:06:11.920
missing as many days of school as possible and the one thing like i will give them a little bit
00:06:18.440
of leeway here why he shouldn't have gone from 9th to 10th 10th to 11th 11th to 12th he's going back
00:06:25.380
four years basically so that's the one part like all right guys this probably should have been
00:06:29.740
caught sooner it's kind of like a movie like a comedy movie script adam sandler would do this
00:06:35.360
but um and then also like what should be the most humiliating embarrassing moment of your life and
00:06:40.940
you go i'm gonna call abc7 or whatever the news crew is you're a failure as a parent you didn't
00:06:46.560
you haven't been monitoring your child as a student at all time to call the news crew over
00:06:50.920
and he don't get a chance yeah it's like you had four years of chances you never did anything and
00:06:55.500
And then now graduation's in like 10 days and it's time to ring the bell.
00:07:00.740
It's graduation, dancing and getting loud season.
00:07:09.200
And this is Baltimore, so it's not the California grading system.
00:07:23.200
um learning becoming a better person understanding the world around you like do you think the diploma
00:07:28.440
gets you anything it really doesn't get you much uh time to drop out time to do your ged if you can
00:07:34.960
even read which i doubt and hit the construction that's that's the correct take and then i think
00:07:40.300
later in the video it goes on to say that he was like absent or late like 260 times what was all
00:07:46.220
this for you didn't do it at all all this that's it's so crazy to me yeah and then there's like a
00:07:52.080
trend happening that apparently happens every year where you have situations like this, where
00:07:56.380
parents are finding out their kids are not going to graduate on time or at all. And then they go
00:08:01.500
into school to complain and try to argue their way out of it. They make a last second, last second
00:08:06.460
ditch effort. Hail Mary it's called in the education system. And we have like an explanation of that
00:08:10.940
plus a little video. Yeah. It's that time of the year again. And like clockwork, they descend on
00:08:15.560
the school in droves. Parents who have been ghosts all year, suddenly outraged that their child is
00:08:20.840
failing. They storm in during the final week, demanding answers, meetings, and miracles,
00:08:25.920
as if the report card is some cruel surprise. Never mind the 10, 15, or even 20 plus notices
00:08:31.740
we sent home. Never mind the repeated phone calls, the emails, the texts begging for a parent
00:08:37.040
conference. We reached out relentlessly, but radio silence was the only reply until now.
00:08:42.740
As teachers, we've learned the hard way to protect ourselves and our sanity. I keep meticulous
00:08:47.580
records of every single contact attempt, every note sent, every call made, every voicemail left,
00:08:53.920
every email and text. Each student has their own folder in my binder, a complete paper trail of
00:08:59.900
our good faith efforts because this end of the year ambush is so predictable. Our school sets
00:09:05.460
aside a full day just for these parents. We line up tables in the gym like a tribunal of truth.
00:09:11.400
Parents file in one by one. They give us the child's name and we calmly retrieve that thick
00:09:15.820
folder. Then as the complaints and accusations start flying, you never told me this isn't fair.
00:09:22.060
We begin the quiet, powerful ritual. One by one, we pull out each piece of documentation and lay
00:09:27.160
it on the table in front of them. Dated, detailed, undeniable. The yelling fades, the bluster dies,
00:09:33.260
the finger pointing stops cold as the evidence stacks up right before their eyes. Why not get
00:09:37.520
involved with your child's education? We have proven data that children whose parents are
00:09:41.520
engaged with the teachers and involved with the school are more successful, obviously.
00:09:45.820
Yeah. So he only passed three classes in four years. How are we going to fix this by next
00:09:50.380
Tuesday? Yeah. How we fix this right now? Miss Johnson, we need to talk. And then, you know,
00:09:55.280
obviously this is kind of more the, uh, the black women you see coming in. Yeah. We have a video
1.00
00:10:00.600
here. Someone like kind of did a recording of just like everyone at the office trying to get
00:10:05.120
an explanation. And then there's kind of this thing like, um, where in that community, the
00:10:10.240
black community, everybody kind of does this overly praising of single moms and how they
00:10:15.420
work so hard and do, do everything you can. It's like, we see really a lot of examples of
00:10:20.060
neglectful parents. Yeah. Like my parents all the way through high school were like on me. Like
00:10:24.460
you can't fade now. You can't like, you're, you're going to college. You're not on break. You have
00:10:28.900
like four more years of work. You know what I mean? Me too. And it's just, it's honestly really
00:10:34.020
sad. It's really sad. And like the kids, you know, it's on the parents really. It's, it's
00:10:41.580
completely the parents. Like I can see how a kid would go, fuck this. I'm already behind.
1.00
00:10:45.940
You know, you need to be doing lifting and work to keep your kid engaged. And none of them are
00:10:51.380
doing it. So. And at the buzzer, when they come in, it's like accusatory and aggressive to the
00:10:56.980
faculty. Yeah. Which is like, it's not like he turned in every assignment and he's completely
00:11:02.460
efficient. He got a 90 on the state exam. Why is he getting enough? It's like, all right,
00:11:07.480
have your son read this. Oh, he can't read. He needs to graduate high school. That's the
00:11:12.040
argument. Hold on. Let me get my binder. They open it up and it's cobwebs and dust and a
00:11:16.120
tumbleweed. It's nothing because your kid never learned. You know how hard it is to fail these
00:11:20.100
days? Yeah. The 24, I need to get it more than 24 or they hand the binder of all the paper trails
00:11:26.120
and then the mom can't read anything. Nobody can read. I got these letters. I didn't know what
1.00
00:11:29.820
they meant. Okay. That's checkmate. I don't, I don't know. Uh, so that's kind of frustrating,
00:11:35.480
but there is a bubble and the kids' GPAs are way worse than we thought,
00:11:41.400
Let us know if it's different near you guys or if it's still the same rubric.
00:11:44.900
All right, we're moving on to a mini fraud section.
00:11:47.360
I saw something I thought was really interesting on Twitter.
00:11:50.020
There was the wife of an audit official in the Ukraine
00:11:53.820
who basically is auditing all the money coming in from America,
00:11:57.360
all the billions and billions, hundreds of billions.
1.00
00:11:59.780
And then this woman is driving Bentleys and she's going to the nightclubs.
00:12:03.400
We're going to read about her and then show you some pics and videos.
00:12:06.260
Yeah, her husband, a previously low-level, poorly paid public sector employee,
00:12:10.400
Dmitry Kondusenko, has been responsible for auditing all the money spent
00:12:14.580
on Ukraine's military procurement and wartime spending
00:12:19.080
Basically, he's the guy who's supposedly auditing all the mountains of taxpayer money
00:12:22.420
that the U.S. and other countries have been forking over to Ukraine.
00:12:25.440
And here is his wife tossing $150,000 into the air on stage as though it's nothing.
00:12:30.360
Again, we're supposed to believe that this newly minted multimillionaire living an opulently funded lifestyle, mansions, luxury cars, expensive jewelry, achieved it on his modest annual salary of $23,000.
00:12:45.860
She's letting it rain on some other Ukrainian girl.
0.84
00:12:53.360
You, a Ukrainian henchman type, get dragged to the front lines to be cannon fodder.
0.95
00:12:57.900
and then some people are just making money on the margins right yeah it's very frustrating
0.77
00:13:03.100
and it's so blatant and then also you know if you're the wife like oh we're rich now
00:13:08.860
oh did you invent something did you get promoted at work it's like no i'm in charge of i'm in
0.99
00:13:13.880
charge of something important now i get kickbacks for shit you wouldn't believe
0.98
00:13:17.500
and the driving bentley's and throwing cash in the club 23 000 a year is a salary and she threw
0.98
00:13:25.080
what, eight years of his salary for fun? He was a big saver. One of his stock hits. He bought
00:13:30.720
Navidia in 2012. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what, they don't even have an explanation most of the
00:13:35.060
time. Yeah. And then while everyone steals our money, we can't even get basic things done like
00:13:39.560
our infrastructure. We're going to revisit the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Remember the one that
00:13:43.640
got crashed into by the boat and it was supposed to be fixed. This is years ago. And let's check
00:13:48.320
in on where we're at. Well, it collapsed two years ago. The primary contractor was fired.
00:13:52.660
The budget initially $1.8 billion is now $5.2 billion.
00:14:00.280
And he says posting this in pencil because he thinks it's going to go even more over that budget and even later, presumably.
00:14:06.240
And I heard someone on Twitter say that it's actually going to be $9 billion by the time it's done.
00:14:11.040
And remember, the Empire State Building was built like 100 years ago in one year.
00:14:21.280
Yeah, all the people who AOC and Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jaipal say built America, they're all here.
00:14:34.060
And so obviously that's all fake and gay and our government contractors, they just rip off the government.
1.00
00:14:40.720
We need to like – this is almost a moment to reflect on how much we need to preserve the infrastructure we have because we can't build it anymore.
00:14:50.560
maintenance is maybe more important than ever. Yeah. We can't do what we used to do, which is
00:14:55.240
scary considering all the technological advances. And then there was- And the people who built
00:14:59.680
America, they're more than ever. They're here. Yeah. They're gone in real life. Next, we have
00:15:04.940
a reply from an engineer and listen to what he said. As a civil engineer, the truly infuriating
00:15:10.120
thing is that this type of bridge is literally the easiest type to build. Steel truss, ugly,
00:15:15.740
boring, non-seismic, baby tier water tidal forces, foundations already built. To use a writer
00:15:23.160
analogy, this is the equivalent to needing three years to write a dog bites man story. So he's
00:15:28.700
saying it's easy and they already have the foundation and there's no reason it should cost
00:15:32.700
or take this much time. Yeah. So it's just another thing that's going to cost billions of dollars.
00:15:36.460
And in a few years, we'll probably have nothing to show for it still. Lovely. Not good. That's
00:15:40.220
America. That's modern day America, right? Yeah. All right. Our next story is about the
0.57
00:15:44.220
gerrymandering victories we had this week. We're going to start with Tennessee.
00:15:48.300
Yeah. Red state of Tennessee has officially released the new 2026 congressional map that
00:15:52.280
eliminates the last remaining Democrat who was drawn on the basis of race. So now it's instead
00:15:57.300
of eight to one, it's now nine, nothing Tennessee. Yep. Feels good. That's a win. And you know,
00:16:02.920
this is after the whole Virginia thing. The Northeast has already passed, hence gerrymandered.
00:16:07.300
We've been talking about this topic a lot, right? We have. And then there was a rep,
00:16:11.520
Justin Pearson, that black guy with the afro who goes like this, he's in Tennessee.
00:16:16.340
And then when this did get passed, he was really mad.
00:16:37.480
So if you ask, like, a progressive, like, who just got rid of racial gerrymandering and called someone boy?
1.00
00:16:44.700
You know, you would think it was the right way.
00:16:57.040
And then we've never actually seen anything where, like, a cop calls a black person boy.
00:17:03.260
And then that happens, and no one really cares.
00:17:12.200
Someone will take a still photo of it, and he'll be standing up to racism instead of what it really was.
00:17:16.620
Which is like a nice cop who, like, didn't even react.
00:17:21.740
He can be one of the Republican seats instead of the Democrat.
00:17:26.440
Then we have other breakdowns of other victories from gerrymandering.
00:17:30.260
Well, yeah, this is kind of gerrymander adjacent.
00:17:35.560
Indiana had an election on Tuesday, I believe, and it said, Benny Johnson said, bloodbath in Indiana, weak Republican Indiana state senators, the ones who refuse to redistrict, are dropping like flies.
00:17:48.360
Trump-endorsed candidates winning in landslides.
00:17:50.980
And, yeah, a lot of incumbent people who didn't want to gerrymander the 70-30 state, 70 for Trump, they're now being beat.
00:17:59.600
So this is the next step to gerrymander Indiana back.
00:18:07.380
because it doesn't really matter what they are.
00:18:09.940
Gerrymandering is like the negative connotation.
00:18:21.960
So I don't really give a fuck about the terminology, right?
0.99
00:18:24.600
I like saying the one that makes them mad.
0.96
00:18:31.840
Republicans are dominating the redistricting war.
00:18:38.540
That one pissed me off because Utah has right wing control and they just kind of gave a
0.92
00:18:43.060
So they're not playing the same game everybody else is.
00:18:47.820
And then I'm noticing they're doing, that's one of the refugee resettlement like directive
00:19:00.860
north carolina plus one ohio plus two texas plus five um the total is plus six democrats but
00:19:08.000
plus 14 republicans and then there's the other southern states that are pending and then
00:19:12.280
tennessee actually just tennessee moved up yeah so the other southern states who won that supreme
00:19:16.900
court case that we were talking about about the voting rights act i think section two of the
00:19:20.960
voting rights act so they'll all probably move at least one seat because those were racially
00:19:26.060
gerrymandered districts originally. And then broad picture here, like we're finally fighting back
00:19:32.900
is the way I see it. The Northeast is completely blue. We don't have a single rep despite making
00:19:37.540
up like 40%, Republicans being 40%. And so we're making up ground. And if we can successfully
00:19:43.180
gerrymander back and fight back and then make it to 2030 with the census, which is obviously going
00:19:51.820
to help all red states that people move to during covid and you know new york will lose seats
00:19:57.000
california i think we've gone over a graphic illegals playing to it yeah so uh we do all this
00:20:02.280
and then we make it to 2030 we could have a pretty big swing so i'm cautiously optimistic about how
00:20:06.760
we've been winning recently me too and then we've been covering virginia obviously a lot with uh
00:20:12.340
spangberger and all the crazy stuff she does yeah uh and then this guy is a lawmaker and listen he's
00:20:18.560
talking about gun laws and how, you know, oh, nothing's going to change. You just can't buy
00:20:22.540
certain guns anymore. Listen to how he describes guns. This is a guy in charge of making the gun
00:20:27.440
laws. If you have an assault rifle, you can keep it. If you have an assault pistol, if you want to
00:20:35.980
have one of these pistols with a silencer on it and a pistol grip in the front, a really big,
00:20:43.600
big pistol, if you want to have one with a telescope on it or lasers or whatever else you
00:20:47.900
want that's okay you just can't buy a new one and you can't sell it to anybody if you want to have
00:20:55.820
a magazine with more than 15 bullets you can keep that too just can't buy a new one so there's
00:21:01.900
something bad going on there silencer laser telescope with the telescope i know some of
00:21:07.260
these words yeah and that's like that's like us hey go regulate makeup okay hey the you can keep
0.99
00:21:15.400
your powders but none of that stupid shit anymore the red dust fine the crayons on the eyes a little
0.99
00:21:22.180
too messy yeah it's a guy who doesn't know anything about it but he's more than willing
1.00
00:21:25.760
to step up take your rights away virginia is gonna be the front and center state where you
00:21:30.780
can really watch what happens when like a blue purple state turns blue and how fast it changes
00:21:36.340
and i think it could maybe wake some people up if they're paying attention yeah hopefully hopefully
00:21:41.120
And, yeah, overall, though, yeah, Virginia is kind of just the negative example.
0.97
00:21:46.580
And these people, again, they ran as moderates and then they get in and it's we're taking your guns, we're gerrymandering, we're doing all this shit.
0.95
00:21:55.420
And the first sentence is that reminded me of Obama, Obamacare.
0.99
00:21:59.540
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
00:22:07.780
But before we do, there's a very special message from you guys from me.
00:22:12.620
We have a special message for all the single lady show watchers out there.
00:22:21.160
We actually featured him on the show that time.
00:22:23.520
He fixed the pothole in Texas and he's a major show watcher and bonus lander.
00:22:29.020
So, you know, his values and politics are on point and he's single.
00:22:33.400
and I convinced him to let me put him out there
00:22:36.260
in a Bachelor of the Month type thing, so here we are.
00:22:46.220
He's nice looking, and he's also very, very smart.
00:22:49.400
He's probably the closest thing to a rocket scientist
00:22:51.520
that I can think of, but with that type of high-level work,
00:22:57.120
he's passionate about it, and now he's making it
00:23:05.040
So if you want to know more about my bachelor engineer friend,
00:23:08.000
hit the QR code or hit the link in the description.
00:23:10.840
We made a little site where you can learn more about him.
00:23:14.980
and everyone will be hand matched by me, yours truly.
00:23:23.640
we could probably match you up with someone else.
00:23:30.540
it's a really good thing when people are both show watchers and maybe even bonus landers you
00:23:35.340
kind of know where their heads at and i think that'd be great in this situation so hit the
00:23:39.520
qr code hit the link in the description and i hope this works out and thank you to everyone
00:23:44.320
who submits let's get back to housekeeping all right thank you to fleckis thank you fleckis
00:23:50.420
for looking out for his friends click that link single ladies and i'm going to be the one who
00:23:54.320
matches you personally and it's going to be very tastefully done and we're protecting your data
00:24:04.100
And we're going to do, I think, a segment maybe going forward, like a bachelor of the
00:24:10.040
So we're cooking something here because I think if a person meets someone on a first
00:24:13.980
date and they're both show watchers, 90% of your work is done already.
00:24:20.680
You know they don't care about saying certain words.
1.00
00:24:23.380
You know you can say the N-word to each other, which is like one of the more important things
1.00
00:24:27.640
That's a foundational, that's foundational to me.
00:24:31.100
Ability to say the N-word freely back and forth.
00:24:35.720
All right, let's get into the Hantavirus stuff.
00:24:37.900
This is obviously the story of the week, and this has the potential to be the story of the year, maybe years.
00:24:42.700
We're going to start with just the stats so far.
00:24:44.940
World Health Organization confirms outbreak of deadly Hantavirus infection on board cruise ship traveling from Argentina to Cape Verde.
00:24:51.500
And then the WHO confirmed there are now seven Hantavirus cases on the cruise ship.
00:25:00.920
I'm a little, you're going to lead on this section.
00:25:04.940
It's like a rat poo disease that goes from rats to people, but doesn't go from people
00:25:10.480
But now they're worried that this one might go from people to people.
00:25:13.440
And then the incubation phase is a little longer than usual, I believe.
00:25:18.040
So like anyone who's on the boat might've been incubating it.
00:25:21.120
And then all the people on the boat are all over the world right now.
00:25:26.220
And we're going to include some conspiratorial stuff because we saw how the last pandemic went.
00:25:32.040
Just some random guy on Twitter goes, I think hantavirus is going to be bad.
00:25:35.660
And the current facts are logically inconsistent in a way that is reminiscent of early COVID,
00:25:45.440
And then somebody replied and said, 30 to 60% fatality rate combined with one to eight
00:25:54.940
And then we have the captain of the boat telling the people
00:25:57.020
that one of the members or the people on the boat died.
00:26:08.760
that one of our passengers suddenly passed away last night.
00:26:22.080
And then I found some tweets that kind of give us some more context and then also kind of extrapolate a little bit in the conspiratorial sense.
00:26:37.260
There's exactly one exception, and the crews that just had three deaths sailed straight out of it.
00:26:42.500
You catch it by inhaling aerosolized particles from rodent urine, feces, or saliva.
00:26:48.480
Sin nombre in the U.S., sole virus in Asia, pumala in Europe, 40-plus strains, one route of infection.
00:26:58.940
The exception is the Andes virus found only in Chile and southern Argentina, which is where that cruise originated from, right?
00:27:07.780
A 2019 outbreak in Argentine, Patagonia, killed nine people and forced a judge to order a 30-day lockdown on an entire town to stop the chain.
00:27:17.300
The MV Hondias, that's the cruise ship, left Ushaya on April 1st.
00:27:23.120
Ushaya sits at the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego in the heart of Andes country.
00:27:33.960
Five days from fever to respiratory failure on a ship in the South Atlantic.
00:27:42.380
I'm sorry for all the reading, guys, but it is informative.
00:27:49.880
here's how I think it probably went and goes down.
00:27:58.820
The cruise ship is likely an op just as it was in 2020.
00:28:02.660
The fact it was designed for remote locations all over the world.
00:28:07.440
and both are from prominent influencers with differing landscapes says a lot.
00:28:11.960
This is the leak story to cover up for the real origins and release.
00:28:15.560
The actual virus is already human transmissible, Andy's Hantavirus, but mutated in a level
0.80
00:28:21.540
four lab in Argentina to become more contagious and then deliberately unleashed on populations
0.93
00:28:26.840
It's very possible ground zero in the United States ends up being Manhattan, Kansas.
0.96
00:28:31.800
Boomers become the obvious target because most are already vaccinated and boosted and
00:28:37.720
The mortality rate being 30 to 50% would support that.
00:28:40.240
it's very possible Gene Hackman's wife was a test subject in 2025. Boomers also have trillions of
00:28:46.420
dollars in wealth and over 60% of the homes. I wouldn't be shocked to see a major inheritance
0.97
00:28:50.400
tax bill coming in the next 30, 60 days. So that's a, that's like a six piece parlay
00:28:55.240
conspiracy theory right there. And if that's true, that it's going to be this,
00:28:59.060
that the boomers are going to die and we're going to get a tax bill, a death tax.
0.97
00:29:02.640
Yeah. But the Gene Hackman thing was true. That was, she did die from that. Yeah. And I've
1.00
00:29:06.940
um, uh, mentioned this before during COVID like years ago. Uh, and I do want to give you guys a
00:29:13.280
heads up. There is a world where this virus really did get released and it does kill people and it's
00:29:19.040
really dangerous. But then when people come out and say, Hey, we need to do a lockdown. We need
00:29:23.600
to wear a mask. We need to shut down businesses. I think MAGA is going to be like, no, we're not
0.97
00:29:28.180
doing that again. And then they're actually going to go out there, catch the virus and die. Yeah.
0.60
00:29:33.000
Yeah. And remember I said that for a long time, for a long time, I've been saying like,
00:29:36.940
Oh, they beta tested this with COVID, but when the real pandemic comes, everyone's going to say, oh, I'm not falling for this again.
0.97
00:29:45.660
It's going to kill a lot of right-wingers.
1.00
00:29:47.700
So, unfortunately, that could be what we're dealing with.
00:29:55.200
We just read somebody else's parlay and yours is – it is –
00:29:58.400
But I do think it was made in a lab on purpose for human-to-human transmission and a high mortality rate.
0.54
00:30:04.040
And now it's out in the world and hopefully it's nothing.
00:30:07.140
But I did find some other things that were interesting.
00:30:10.060
There was a Twitter account who in 2022, on June 11th, 2022, said 2023, Corona ends, 2026, Hantavirus.
00:30:20.220
And they only posted like three times ever this account.
00:30:25.740
And their at is I am a soothsayer, which, you know, their express purpose is to be a soothsayer, to predict something.
00:30:33.820
So that's unfortunate and hope it doesn't happen.
00:30:40.000
I've been watching the X-Files on the background recently.
00:30:44.120
I remember we used to tell people to watch X-Files.
00:30:46.220
The CIA used to give the X-Files information here and there about aliens or whatever.
00:30:51.220
And one of the episodes is about a hantavirus that goes out and it's like a pandemic.
00:30:59.360
And then this tweet is from 2012, and listen to what it says.
0.69
00:31:06.740
It says, overheard behind me while watching H5N1 NAS workshop today.
0.71
00:31:11.460
Quote, you want to really make a pandemic, make hantavirus human transmissible.
00:31:18.040
People know how dangerous it is, the mortality rate, and how we're kind of lucky that it's not inter-human or human transmissible.
0.75
00:31:25.980
And so now we got the one that is, I guess.
1.00
00:31:32.020
Moderna and Korea University to co-develop antivirus vaccine.
00:31:39.380
And then I also want to extrapolate this even further to Conspiratory Land.
00:31:49.120
And I think the reason it's going to be able to happen and happen fast is because a lot of people that were in COVID lockdowns kind of got a taste for fun,
00:31:57.680
fake job world where you kind of just like wake up and pretend to go on your computer and you get
00:32:01.820
paid, but no one's really doing anything. And it's like a fake job. And then we went back to the
00:32:06.460
office and it kind of sucks. Cause you remember like, Oh, COVID used to be sweet. So if they do
00:32:11.040
a pandemic again, a lot of people are going to go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's lock down. And then
00:32:15.040
when they lock us down this time, I think they're going to roll a out to AI out to replace the jobs.
00:32:20.340
And it probably studied the first pandemic to know how to replace the jobs really good. Okay.
00:32:25.400
So it's going to be like, all right, you're paid from home and we're also going to be using AI side by side with you.
00:32:31.140
And then if we ever get out of the lockdown and come back to work, they're not going to need to come back to work because the lockdown is how AI fully finished the job and learned how to take your job.
00:32:47.340
Oh, Monday through Friday, I wake up and I'm in my house and I'm on Zoom doing nothing basically.
00:32:54.460
Yeah. And they want they want easy back. I'm going to be honest that first and I was telling you this before we filmed like the two weeks was reasonable.
00:33:03.400
You know, in hindsight, the problem is two weeks dragged on to retard municipalities and states doing whatever they could for so long.
0.97
00:33:10.740
And you had to wear the paper mask that didn't work. And eventually you had to get the vaccine like that was like four years after your employers forced you to get the vaccine.
0.91
00:33:39.480
because the AI is going to finally learn the rest.
00:33:41.720
But overall, I know you lean more conspiratorial, guys.
00:33:49.460
and maybe don't go to Europe anytime really soon
00:33:55.220
Practical advice at the end of the conspiracy advice.
00:34:01.740
the red states are going to have the worst death rate.
0.98
00:34:17.660
and now you're going to have four days of the hantavirus and you're dead.
00:34:21.920
Imagine COVID-level inflation on top of the inflation we've just had.
00:34:30.520
But fortunately, there's 100 million migrants here,
1.00
00:34:35.220
Our first story is about a mentally challenged child who's-
00:34:43.640
Well, he's got a little bit of stuff that he has to work with, but he's still a great kid.
0.86
00:34:49.440
And he has a service animal pig that got out and then migrants ate it.
00:34:57.060
But for 12-year-old Garrett Cox, his best friend is a 400-pound pig named Bootsy.
00:35:04.440
She looks similar to this, but without the white nose.
00:35:07.400
His family got Bootsy about a year ago to help Garrett, who was struggling to fit in at school and needed a passion.
00:35:13.640
Garrett has ADHD at a level that reflects a level one student with autism.
00:35:21.240
A friend recommended they get a pig, and Garrett could learn to show the pig.
00:35:25.140
So he joined his school's Future Farmers of America and started training Bootsy.
00:35:29.820
Truly could say it was a love story in the beginning.
00:35:33.380
He would feed her, pet her, bathe her, and train her.
00:35:35.860
They competed in several shows together, even at the FFA state competition.
00:35:42.880
The two did everything together, from chores to playing outside.
00:35:46.920
She would literally follow them around the yard.
00:35:50.240
She just, like, grazes around the trampoline while they're jumping on the trampoline.
00:35:56.660
When Garrett's father, Matt, looked for him, he couldn't find him, which was unusual.
00:36:06.080
They reported it to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
0.99
00:36:09.680
So it was killed by some neighbors, some Asian migrant neighbors.
1.00
00:36:15.660
We have their pictures here, all fat-faced.
1.00
00:36:17.740
They really wanted to eat that succulent 400-pound pig,
00:36:23.820
And basically an emotional support, confidence-building tool
00:36:28.420
Yeah, and then there was a tweet that went along with it
00:36:35.140
every culture understands and severely punishes livestock theft.
00:36:38.380
Their response to being caught stealing livestock was to mock the person they robbed,
00:36:46.520
But yeah, that's like a thousands-year-old thing, livestock theft.
00:36:50.380
They might not understand pig service animal for someone with severe ADHD.
00:36:55.000
Or a kid with mental problem using it to gain confidence.
00:36:58.300
I don't expect everybody to understand that, right?
00:37:01.960
Yeah, you know when a pig gets out, you can't just kill it and butcher it.
00:37:05.220
So these people all got charged and they're awaiting trial, I guess.
0.94
00:37:09.700
But yeah, man, this is kind of what the average migrant story has become, like a mismatched
00:37:14.460
culture, sweet white Southern family who's trying to help out a kid who's a little down.
00:37:20.680
And you see at the end there, that woman was so sweet too.
00:37:24.180
Like, and Bootsy, Bootsy would just run right up to him.
00:37:27.300
And there's like a media campaign to make you afraid of women like that in the South
1.00
00:37:32.100
Like black people would be like, that's my nightmare.
0.99
00:37:34.080
And it's like, she's the sweetest woman ever.
1.00
00:37:38.700
And I'm glad these fat Hmong people didn't get to taste that succulent, succulent pig.
1.00
00:37:42.940
Well, I mean, someone, the family should have eaten that.
00:37:47.360
They got arrested before they could eat it, I guess.
00:37:57.360
And you know how much, like a 400 pound pig, they sell pigs by the pound, right?
00:38:12.740
The next two stories, we're going to go kind of fast.
00:38:14.700
But this first one is an illegal who tries to carjack somebody.
0.53
00:38:20.680
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:38:32.600
so we have some context as to what exactly happened yeah so that was a guy uh defending
00:38:39.700
his family this guy he was trying to be carjacked by somebody the garland police department said at
00:38:44.100
about 3 30 p.m sunday officers responded to a crash involving a car that hit two other vehicles
00:38:49.380
officials said the driver of the car at fault identified as jose ramirez 30 parked at a nearby
00:38:55.700
gas station and was unsuccessfully attempting to quote take several vehicles by force in the
00:39:01.200
parking lot. This was the last vehicle he tried. And unfortunately he got lit up and I believe he
00:39:06.620
died. And this man was an illegal immigrant. And why we're showing this, this video is going viral,
0.99
00:39:11.680
but why we're showing this is because this is a theme that we've been talking about when you have
0.99
00:39:16.220
a hundred million migrants here, a minor car accident, a DUI, instead of waiting and going,
0.90
00:39:21.720
I fucked up and facing the music, it becomes a life or death struggle to get away from it to
1.00
00:39:26.980
the point where you're carjacking a family. So it's not normal. Like me, if I get an offender
0.99
00:39:32.160
bender, it's like shitty mistake. But my ability to live in this country isn't affected by it at
1.00
00:39:38.560
all. When you have desperate people with weird incentive structures, they'll do anything to get
00:39:43.700
the fuck out of there. And then if you ran into a car, you carjack people, you get out, you leave
00:39:49.740
town. You have no ties to this Georgia or wherever it is, Garland. You have no ties to Garland. So
0.66
00:39:56.100
you move on, you find another thing. You're, you're a leaf in the wind, right? Yeah. So that's
00:40:01.520
the key point. A desperate people who are here and then they get into a situation where you get
00:40:06.760
into a crash or something happens and then you're even more desperate. And the stakes are so much
00:40:11.640
higher than for normal people who could just exchange information. For a rational legal person,
00:40:16.260
there would never be a world where you get into an accident and start trying to carjack people.
00:40:20.580
But for a migrant, they're fighting for their life. And that's not the kind of desperate energy
00:40:53.420
in Scandinavian country, St. Paul, Minnesota.
1.00
00:40:59.060
Yeah, and it is because we imported them for no reason
1.00
00:41:03.920
Yeah, and then part of the reason they're here,
1.00
00:41:10.020
thinking that it's good to bring people for diversity
00:41:15.980
and listen to her get it completely backwards.
1.00
00:41:18.400
If someone said to me that I had to spend a week
0.51
00:41:21.060
on an island but i had the choice of two islands one of those islands would be filled with british
00:41:30.340
white patriotic men and one of those islands would be filled with muslim men i can 100 percent say
00:42:14.980
Otherwise, we wouldn't have never gotten this far.
00:42:17.140
But there is like this energy where like white colonialism and white supremacy is the biggest problem in the world.
00:42:24.360
So now that Western countries are becoming more diverse and all these migrants are coming here, it's almost revenge for white colonialism.
00:42:32.740
It feels good because, oh, the brown people are getting their chance.
0.99
00:42:36.540
But when they do colonialism in modern times, it's not pretty.
1.00
00:42:40.160
And it's not something that a woman like that is going to enjoy.
1.00
00:42:42.980
And we actually have an example of like a small example of what it looks like.
1.00
00:42:46.360
This girl is in middle school and she shared a screenshot.
00:42:50.060
We're just going to kind of scrim through it of all the DMs she gets.
00:42:53.820
And can you read some of the last names or first names?
00:42:56.680
We're not going to fully dox everyone, but we are going to read their ethnic names.
00:43:10.160
And Akshay Rajput says, please follow back to a middle school girl.
00:43:15.640
Ahmed Ansari says, sorry, but I was not planning on texting you, but your face vibe forces me to text you.
00:43:22.880
And then, yeah, I think there's one guy named Aaron.
0.99
00:43:30.080
And, you know, we get this idea that like white people are so bad and they do all these bad things and it's white supremacy and it's very nuanced.
0.96
00:43:39.040
and it's everywhere, but it's also invisible and you can't see it, but it's everywhere and it
0.92
00:43:44.300
affects everything, but you can't like point to exactly what it is. But then you think about it,
00:43:49.700
these hordes of brown people, these illegals and even legals come into Western countries and they
1.00
00:43:55.780
rape, they kill, they steal our money and they pollute our rivers, for example. So that's like
1.00
00:44:01.900
very tangible. You can reach out and touch it. Here's a crime. Here's a crime. Here's a crime.
00:44:09.960
But then white supremacy is supposed to be this nebulous, all-encompassing thing that's everywhere around us like a fish in water.
00:44:16.820
And then they can't really point to many examples of it.
00:44:21.340
White people are the ones doing the exploiting.
1.00
00:44:23.580
And meanwhile, Somali charges $100 million to the government.
1.00
00:44:27.100
And in a lot of cases, we're fighting the culture war.
00:44:30.680
And this was a point that we talked about a couple of days ago where like how many years were spent fighting the culture war, trans and women's bathrooms, stuff like that, LGBT, whatever.
00:44:41.980
And then the whole time, trillions of dollars are being stolen from the federal government.
00:44:47.700
USAID, individual scammers, hospice, autism, feeding our future, all these scams.
0.67
00:44:53.740
We were getting robbed blind by foreigners while we're fighting about trans people in a bathroom, which is almost humiliating in a way.
00:45:05.580
because the left would have taken so much ground
00:45:08.520
that schools would be basically unrecognizable.
00:45:16.460
and allowed us to get like robbed blind pretty much.
00:45:21.800
this is a guy who needs to come to America,
0.51
00:45:30.140
he's a dentist yeah so the woman who said she'd choose the muslim man will say something like
00:45:42.260
well he's doing a spiritual thing that they've done for thousands of years and this is good
00:45:45.860
actually and then you look at all the elders and none of them have any teeth and you're just like
00:45:50.940
oh okay but you know that's part of their culture right give them a 500 food stipend and put them
00:46:45.540
We'll take all of our problems and our trash,
0.99
00:46:50.040
and it's just going to get carried away from us.
00:47:26.240
So that's the shit of a million people flowing into the Ganga every day.
1.00
00:47:33.300
Environmental scientist Rakesh Jaiswal has been campaigning for a cleaner Ganges for 25 years.
00:47:39.840
It's a million people's shit flowing into the river, untreated, no effort at all.
0.99
00:47:44.340
And here's what it looks like on the graph.
1.00
00:47:50.900
But it's like feces concentration, parts per million, and obviously look at where it originates from.
00:47:59.820
And then that guy who's like the conservationist, like the Indian conservationist, is a tough uphill job.
00:48:15.540
And then there's like a broader point I want to make here, and I'm going to bring in some of these assets for it.
00:48:20.600
like we as Westerners, we're held to a certain standard. You need to recycle green energy,
00:48:28.820
recycling. You need to run your dishwasher at night and your AC at 80. We've heard that before.
00:48:35.420
Yeah. Shit like that. But then you bring in these migrants and these third worlders and they can
1.00
00:48:40.120
do whatever they want. Oh, they can, you know, put soap in the river and they can throw their
1.00
00:48:44.160
trash out in the pond. They don't know any better. And there's another example. Remember
00:48:48.280
plastic straws oh yeah you can't have a plastic straw because it's gonna go up a turtle's butt
00:48:54.240
or whatever you can't use it to drink an iced tea but in canada though you throw it in a trash
00:48:59.800
receptacle you don't throw it into the ocean or the river yeah but in canada they're giving out
00:49:05.420
plastic straws to drug addicts for for safer in snorting snorting yeah say inhaling yeah uh and
00:49:12.680
it says safer snorting on the package and it says make it your own adding a personal touch to your
00:49:17.040
snorting equipment will help you better recognize your own when using with others.
00:49:21.360
Some people add a piece of tape to their tubes or a piece of colored paper as their straw.
00:49:25.960
So they're just making sure you don't, doesn't everybody just roll up a hundred and get to
00:49:34.040
They're creating drug products for street rats that they don't even need.
00:49:43.880
I think you can snort heroin, but I think you can snort meth.
00:49:49.800
I'm thinking of what a street rat would, though.
00:49:53.240
But the street rat's not going to snort a $100 eight ball or whatever it costs.
00:49:58.100
But they might snort fentanyl and an oxy and a perk or mixed up or something or some street shit.
0.91
00:50:06.580
But they give the plastic straws to the least whatever people.
0.98
00:50:12.760
The least productive, the least responsible, people who aren't going to throw it away in
1.00
00:50:16.260
the right receptacle, they're going to do the drugs and be fucked up.
0.99
00:50:23.220
And I have like this broader point here where these rules, the recycling and the no straws,
0.84
00:50:31.200
those are rules for like Western white people to follow as a means of control.
0.85
00:50:37.680
Or, oh, I can only do, I can only run my dishwasher on Tuesdays.
1.00
00:50:41.340
And they control you with these little rules while bringing in the third world migrants that have no rules.
1.00
00:50:46.800
And that's just going to like be the seed that's planted for the takeover eventually.
1.00
00:50:51.500
And that's why the Western white people are so kind of pushed back and kind of like, oh, I'm not scared to do anything because they are the ones who are held to a standard.
00:50:58.980
Yeah. It's definitely like a type of anarcho-tyranny a little bit.
0.61
00:51:02.280
Yeah. And then the people who don't have to listen, they're allowed to do whatever they want.
00:51:07.440
And that's going to keep going and accelerating in a bad direction.
00:51:09.980
And it somehow doesn't matter that they don't know any better before they come here.
00:51:15.420
We're rescuing them from shitty conditions, right?
0.60
00:51:17.740
And that's the frustrating part, too, especially, like, with the progressive women.
0.96
00:51:21.240
It's like, oh, men are evil, and men are going to assault you and get you.
00:51:38.400
Well, that's the end of our migrant section.
0.97
00:51:39.560
We're now moving on to the final page of housekeeping where I can say
00:51:44.920
comment again and start yapping PO box notifications,
00:51:48.100
The link to this episode needs to be sent to the boys in the group chat.
00:52:00.160
Our last episode we showed us has Asian people in the thumbnail.
00:52:27.120
I'm a couple iterations away from every type of person.
0.95
00:52:36.180
kind of about civil war and like what, not the civil war.
00:52:40.460
I don't want to bore you guys with all the intricate details of our history,
00:52:50.460
everyone talks about an upcoming civil war and what it's going to look like.
00:52:53.320
I want to remind you that it's going to be leftist and the millions of
00:52:57.560
illegals versus the right wing men and right wing in general.
00:53:01.280
And it's going to be a revenge for colonialism.
00:53:13.020
where it's going to be a revenge for colonialism
00:53:15.480
and I unfortunately just have a good vision of that
00:53:31.760
This is why you need to watch old episodes, too, so you don't ever miss anything.
00:53:37.840
I also like when people are watching old episodes and then they tell us, hey, you got this prediction, right?
00:53:43.400
Hey, if you do that and you send it to us, we'll send you merch.
00:53:51.720
Last episode, we talked about ticks and alpha-gal and how there's, like, ticks everywhere and they give you diseases.
00:53:59.860
And then I told you we're going to find a solution to ticks besides just like spraying chemicals on your property.
00:54:07.840
And then we're going to show the video while you're reading the tweet.
00:54:10.520
Yeah, this guy who was talking about it said lots of questions, comments, and concerns about our tick-eating machines we posted yesterday.
00:54:24.500
Ours are actually pretty quiet, but they are great living alarm systems.
1.00
00:54:38.720
have been told they're aggressive towards roosters,
00:54:42.640
Apparently, they're delicious, wouldn't eat the eggs.
1.00
00:54:44.960
So noise and stupidity are big downsides for people,
1.00
00:54:48.820
and the ability to eat those bugs all day is pretty good.
1.00
00:54:57.820
They're just, like, walking everywhere, and, like, they're not eating ticks right now.
00:55:05.660
And then he's walking through, like, the ticks and going to go eat one over here and eat one over there.
00:55:14.360
A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step?
00:55:17.620
You got to start one tick at a time, baby.
0.96
00:55:19.900
Or the other saying where they say, that duck come on my property.
1.00
00:55:32.280
And doesn't that make sense where it's like, oh, how do we get rid of ticks?
0.99
00:55:34.740
Oh, we have to spray chemicals that are going to like make your kids infertile.
00:55:57.200
I mean, that's more like a thing if you have property in a heavy tick land, you know, that's not for you guys who live in Chicago and commute to work, you know.
0.92
00:56:07.380
And then I do a yearly vacation with my family to Martha's Vineyard, and there's a lot of ticks there.
00:56:12.820
Like, there was one time I was playing basketball with Chinese Donut Boy, and the ball went into the woods, and I picked it up, and I, like, a tree went like that and brushed me, and there was, like, six ticks on me.
00:56:26.360
I might have to bring some guinea fowls with me.
00:56:30.900
Because everyone at Martha's Vineyard has the alpha-gal disease.
00:56:36.040
Yeah, this article from the Vineyard Gazette says,
00:56:38.940
with a sizable population on Martha's Vineyard unable to eat red meat
00:56:48.080
So it's gotten to the point where so many people that chefs have to make a change.
00:57:51.180
it's a word play game. I got inspired a few days ago. Don't look, don't look, don't look at the
00:57:55.740
things. What are you talking about? I'm going to have to do it. No, you're not going to have to
00:57:58.240
look at anything. This is all me reading and you answering. Okay. So basically a lot of the words
00:58:03.800
we use today don't mean what they used to mean when they were first invented. Okay. So we're
00:58:08.820
going to play a game and one word has a real definition. And then one word has a fake
00:58:13.820
definition. And you need to guess which is the real definition of the original word that's being
00:58:19.260
misused today. Okay. For example, the word nice used to mean foolish, stupid, and ignorant. Okay.
00:58:26.740
Or the word echo used to mean a whisper or to talk in a faint voice. Which of those is the true
00:58:33.760
definition? I don't know, man. Nice is probably, nice means like, I would, I'll choose nice because
00:58:41.340
it means probably like more passive or stupid, right? Yeah, you're correct. Okay. Thank you.
0.97
00:58:45.820
All right, number two, butter used to mean just the cream layer on top of the milk, or
00:59:04.620
Number three, terrific used to mean to cause terror, frightening, or dreadful, or panic
00:59:15.820
Um, terror, because I think T-E-R-R is probably some sort of Greek or Latin prefix that means
00:59:23.000
terrific. You're good, buddy. All right. Last one. A, meat used to mean any solid food,
00:59:30.460
not just animal flesh. Okay. Or B, flabbergasted used to mean to be full from eating and drinking
00:59:37.100
to the point where your stomach pushes out against your ribs. So it's kind of like,
00:59:48.280
So meat used to mean just anything that was solid?
00:59:56.060
And then a bonus one, bully used to mean a fine fellow or sweetheart or a good person.
0.71
01:00:10.540
I don't know if that was worth anyone's time, but I appreciate you.
01:00:14.360
Did everyone learn that some of the words that we have don't mean what they used to mean?
01:00:21.780
The Japanese have a word for that, for when the words don't mean what they mean anymore.
01:00:25.180
All right, well, that's the end of housekeeping.
01:00:31.120
All right, our first clip from Cringe of the Week.
01:00:33.200
This guy has a social media following where he teaches people how to socialize.
01:00:37.460
so right now yo i'm not gonna lie guys right now i don't even know where i'm at
01:00:42.420
everybody's over here uh i'm gonna show you guys how easy it is to interact with people
0.93
01:00:48.100
you guys be shy as fuck you guys be scared i'm gonna tell you right now
0.94
01:00:51.780
excuse me you guys know what's going on here
1.00
01:01:04.460
is this the only place we could be at or can we go more down there
01:01:11.860
yeah yeah all right thank you guys so he's teaching people how to like just talk to
01:01:23.760
people in normal groundbreaking stuff i guess for the new generation maybe or what and it's for like
01:01:30.500
anti-social people who are on their phones too much you know who doesn't need socializing tips
01:01:35.260
who an indian guy he just goes right up he'll go right up to you and go excuse me miss yeah
0.95
01:01:40.260
like to be your boyfriend yeah and white guys are like um that might be rude or maybe she doesn't
0.99
01:01:44.740
like me or i'm not tall enough or whatever it is and then the migrants just beeline for the girls
0.94
01:01:49.500
Yeah, and black guys go, yo, you like black guys?
0.97
01:01:53.420
But there is a bigger trend that I've noticed, and people are telling me too, that young
01:01:58.100
people don't dance as much anymore because they're scared of being filmed and being cringe,
01:02:03.680
or they're so used to seeing people be cringe on social media that they can't let themselves
01:02:12.700
Same thing with asking out a girl or passing a note.
0.99
01:02:15.260
It's like, look at this fucking guy just sent me.
0.98
01:02:17.460
they really do put people on blast there's like social media guardrails on everything you have
0.99
01:02:21.920
to be kind of normal and it's like young people can't interact like usual yeah yeah so there is
01:02:27.040
a broader point there and then this guy is trying to help which is good but like the help isn't like
01:02:32.380
the help is just doing it and be like just go do it yeah when the mailman comes hey thanks
01:02:36.760
have a good see you tomorrow yeah i almost said have a good day but see you tomorrow was better
0.98
01:02:40.360
you know like you too the mail guy comes drops off mail you too ah fuck so there is a thing where
0.98
01:02:46.560
Like, young people don't know how to do the basic stuff anymore,
0.99
01:02:50.380
and it's because they're scared of being embarrassed on the computer.
01:02:56.900
The genie's not going back in the bottle anymore.
01:02:59.320
I think maybe just, like, deal with embarrassment.
01:03:02.400
Or just, like, embarrassment used to be something like, ah, not my best day.
01:03:12.240
Or sort of, like, if you try to pick up a girl, hey,
01:03:14.440
You get a lifetime nickname and brand it online or something.
0.97
01:03:20.460
If you humiliated yourself or asked a girl out and she said no.
01:03:23.240
And you'd be like, ah, and then like who really heard about it?
01:03:27.440
And then they laughed after a few days, like no one really cares, but things are different
01:03:33.640
now and it's affecting a young people's ability to socialize.
01:03:36.480
And then also there's another angle to it too, where like the top 5% of men who aren't
01:03:41.280
scared to socialize, they reap all the benefits.
01:03:44.120
They're the ones all the girls like and that go approach girls and ask girls out.
0.54
01:03:50.680
So like the matchmaking is like going like that.
01:03:57.880
I'm sure you guys saw this, but we're going to make some broader points.
01:04:02.440
There is a trans wheelchair model and we're just going to play it.
01:04:07.460
First black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to a major agency.
01:04:21.500
And then there's like a joke about the Netflix story that's going to come out.
01:04:26.980
But then I found a video of this woman or man or whatever it is doing a TED Talk.
01:04:33.540
And listen to why they said that there's not enough representation for people who are trans and in a wheelchair.
01:04:40.380
When I first started working, I was an anomaly to the industry, arguably in many ways today.
01:04:47.940
Really, I still am. I think it's time to say the quiet part out loud.
01:04:52.800
The fashion industry is unlikely to book or pay black trans feminine and or physically disabled models to do runway, editorial and or campaign because of an absence of whiteness.
0.72
01:05:07.700
yeah so it's because of whiteness yeah there's not enough trans wheelchair people in modeling
0.99
01:05:14.960
because of whiteness why not in the wnba there's zero yeah and shit like this if you said this
0.98
01:05:20.440
combination of words in 2020 mid 2020 maybe early 2021 you'd get a brand deal you'd get signed
0.99
01:05:27.320
somewhere you're so brave and then by 2023 like three out of ten models would be like trans
01:05:32.920
quadriplegic wheelchair people i just don't get it man i i guess it's kind of like what what can
01:05:40.820
i do to get myself better you know you know who's really underrepresented black trans quadriplegics
01:05:46.540
exactly what i am you start your own crusade oh dude you know who's really underrepresented
0.99
01:05:51.460
blonde people over six foot wearing glasses they need more money this is fucked up you know it's
0.97
01:05:58.240
all the same it's just for yourself you're not even making good points ever right and what exactly
0.99
01:06:02.900
are you modeling the way the a kid's size that needs to be specifically tailored to a weird
01:06:08.260
contorted body and you can't see the back yeah oh look at the way the dress falls on my hips
0.99
01:06:13.500
well this is imagine how it would fall on my yeah you can picture it and this is the type of shit
0.99
01:06:19.120
we're fighting about while somalis steal our money that's true and there's uh something i'm
0.98
01:06:25.480
noticing bigger picture here like this woman or whatever is arguing man it's a man so this guy
01:07:32.500
And like 99,000 out of 100,000 other times, you're going to be sacrificed or what's it called when you are not helping.
01:07:50.000
Seven and a half billion people in the world, right?
01:07:55.320
And then how many black transcerebral palsy people are there?
01:07:59.620
You shouldn't have, like, the ratio-wise, you shouldn't get one.
01:08:02.680
But there's not more because of whiteness.
0.96
01:08:06.320
It's like, no, whiteness is why you're where you're at.
01:08:12.860
And then imagine, this is like the person who, the team manager who gets in at the end
01:08:16.720
of the game and shoots a three, and then, like, it's charity at the beginning.
01:08:21.920
And then, like, then you get in the coach's face and say, why am I playing today?
01:08:28.780
Yeah, that's very true. Next, we have a trans gym situation where this trans man is working out and trying to be inspiring to others.
01:08:38.520
Sometimes at the gym, people stare at me. But honestly, I try to think about how they've probably never seen a person look like me ever.
01:08:45.020
And what are the odds they get inspired by what I do?
01:08:47.600
Look, I am very authentically myself and very visually queer, and I think that's a very powerful thing to be in a gym space because there's not very much queer settings in gym spaces or fitness spaces in general.
01:09:00.480
So I think it's just a very powerful thing to be stared at now.
01:09:05.360
You know, you get in a pump, you pop the shirt.
01:09:10.880
Because you're trans and you have no shirt on at the gym.
01:09:13.560
And then the person says they want to inspire people.
0.98
01:09:16.560
you're trying to motivate the people who are already going to the gym and not trans you're
01:09:22.700
a man now and you're actually just graduated since switching from woman to man you just
1.00
01:09:26.540
graduated to the bottom one percent of strength so you can't inspire any men you're like down here
01:09:32.160
you bench less than 135 like yeah i'm not really interested or inspired at all like one of the
01:09:37.640
worst gym performers but then you're there to inspire people who already go to the gym so
01:09:42.780
they're gonna have to be inspired by your transness and then your transness is you popping the shirt
01:09:47.480
at the gym which is like inappropriate yeah and then there's not enough queer representation in
01:09:52.060
the gym have you checked your sniffies app no i haven't been on it recently at all the cruising
01:09:56.660
sniffies gay hookup app the gyms are a hot spot there's plenty of queer representation of the gym
01:10:01.700
trust me uh there's a sign up in new york city in the subways can you read what it says and then
01:10:07.200
read the bottom uh they got their little pride and trans flag and it says no bigotry hatred or
01:10:11.380
prejudice allowed at this station at any time and it says reminder respect trans people or your
01:10:17.080
pronouns will be was were so i guess they're threatening people on the mta these days they're
01:10:22.220
gonna kill you if you don't call them what their delusion is uh now we're gonna move on to our
01:10:26.560
little waymo section we're gonna play these kind of fast um but we have multiple clips waymo's the
0.90
01:10:31.620
driverless cars that are becoming ubers sort of in an experimental stage at this point like
01:10:36.600
they're getting into more cities and they started in san francisco i think they're in austin now too
01:11:15.600
And then we're going to go on to the next clip.
01:11:19.920
here we have a Waymo in front of the guy filming.
01:11:38.860
so here comes the people creeping up they're making a left turn there's someone in front
01:11:45.240
and then waymo makes an insane move here it's a standard turn yeah left hand turn you know you
01:11:52.980
got the green you inch up through the through the intersection but waymo goes nope i'm going
0.99
01:11:58.040
around the other person what a nut waymo's crazy waymo's on some crazy shit and then we got another
0.96
01:12:07.060
waymo clip here waymo please move waymo please move alexa
0.99
01:12:16.420
waymo doesn't do good at temporary detours that was that was what oncoming traffic
0.98
01:13:02.420
And then you have gay, liberal people yelling,
0.99
01:13:16.940
All right, our first story from Urban Decay is in Seattle.
01:13:20.400
A man sucker punched an old man and then ran from the cops.
01:13:24.820
New tonight, Seattle police are searching for this suspect
01:13:27.240
who they already caught once following a violent attack on a 77-year-old man.
01:13:32.220
Body cam video shows the arrest on April 19th at 3rd and Pine in downtown Seattle.
01:13:44.040
29-year-old Ahmed Osman was taken into custody after witnesses pointed him out
01:13:49.020
as one of the two suspects in an assault caught on camera.
01:13:52.720
The 77-year-old victim was walking home from work
01:13:55.260
when Seattle police say Osman and another man hit him, knocking him down.
01:13:59.700
He suffered a broken arm, knee, and a laceration over his eye.
01:14:06.940
Just sucker punch an old guy for no reason.
0.80
01:14:08.700
And then after he was apprehended, they released him before his bond hearing.
0.84
01:14:13.800
His bond was set for $200,000, but he never showed up to the hearing.
01:14:30.120
And then we have the close-up here, but then we're also going to play this clip.
01:14:33.620
This has been going around in the right-wing circles.
01:14:36.700
People are mad that the mayor got rid of the surveillance cameras because it was, like, racially prejudiced.
01:14:46.360
This is legislation that will expand CCTV cameras that could potentially be taken control of by the Trump administration.
01:14:54.260
And this is legislation that was opposed by immigrants' rights groups, by civil liberties groups, and by the member of color caucus in the legislature.
01:15:05.360
This technology and technology similar to it has recently been in the news for its failure to be meaningfully and consistently secured, leading to breaches that could result in sensitive data being shared by ICE and putting our immigrant and refugee communities at risk.
01:15:18.800
So the mayor has a reason for not wanting to do the cameras.
01:15:22.660
Trump and ICE could take control of them and do a surveillance racist state where they grab people
01:15:28.480
who are brown. But some of the right wing have been posting this video saying like, oh, this
01:15:33.100
mayor's so bad. We need these cameras everywhere. And I want to remind you guys that we can't let
01:15:38.520
the frustration from repeat offenders have us call for a surveillance state. That's fair.
01:15:44.740
You know what I'm saying? Because if, you know, we have them on camera and they still let them go.
01:15:49.060
So I don't think more evidence is the problem with all these repeat offenders.
01:15:53.180
I think it's the DAs and the judges and the Soros-backed people.
01:15:56.660
But there is a thing where the right wing is like kind of in a backwards way going to call for a surveillance state because they're so frustrated from all the repeat offender crimes.
01:16:06.320
When all we have to do is really just lock up the repeat offenders.
01:16:12.740
We identify people easily from eyewitnesses and they usually get caught.
01:16:17.220
so to have a live in a surveillance state just because we let people in and out like crazy
01:16:22.700
doesn't really make much sense and i think it's a trap like it's a frustration trap and then
01:16:27.020
the only way they're going to really have a surveillance state nationwide is if the right
01:16:32.500
wing is okay with it yeah like the left will do it maybe they don't really care about anything
01:16:37.060
anymore but the right would be the one who kind of opposes it so the way to sneak it in is by
01:16:41.600
doing this well we need more evidence maybe the reason all these guys got off is because they
01:16:45.740
weren't on camera. Everyone's on camera. There's enough evidence for every single one. It's
01:16:49.660
already illegal what they did. And then they still get let out. The solution isn't cameras
01:16:53.980
everywhere. The solution is just enforcing the laws we already have. Or large government
01:16:58.240
contracts with flocks. And then also like, there's a certain part of the surveillance state that's
01:17:04.380
going whether or not it's centralized to a city government or not, right? Everyone with ring
01:17:09.840
cameras, the web of ring cameras, which we saw from the Superbowl, they'll band together and
01:17:15.120
find your dog, right? And then businesses themselves obviously have high quality cameras,
01:17:21.240
especially if they're in degrading cities like Seattle or Portland or LA. It's going to be your
01:17:27.160
responsibility, right? Yeah. So she's arguing against these type of cameras because they
01:17:31.280
could hurt illegals while it's showing Somali types beating up a 77 year old for no reason.
0.99
01:17:36.880
They don't even, it's like him and his boy, like just do it for fun. Yeah. And because the Seattle
0.89
01:17:42.280
mayor is like a leftist nut job. The right wing is kind of automatically opposing whatever she
0.90
01:17:47.580
wants. Like, no, we do want those cameras. And it's like, ah, careful. That's the trap. Yeah.
0.98
01:17:52.780
There's also some like, I get cameras. This is like not a base to take of mine,
01:17:58.940
but I get cameras when there's 10,000 people in one square mile, like Manhattan or something.
01:18:04.440
If you're living in a dense urban center, you're going to be watched anyway in a little bit. So
01:18:09.380
you can opt out by moving away or moving to the suburbs or something. But if they have it on all
01:18:14.100
the highways and stuff, it's bad too. But I don't know. I get both sides is what I'm saying, but
01:18:18.380
you're making a good point. Yeah. The frustration. Oh, this guy got released again. Do you think
01:18:23.600
more cameras is going to make him go to jail? Yeah. Now we have a surveillance state and
01:18:28.840
cameras everywhere in Seattle and we let the people out again still. But we noticed you,
01:18:34.960
You threw this in the wrong trash can and didn't recycle properly.
01:18:40.640
Did you just drag your heel across that pride sidewalk, buddy?
1.00
01:18:44.740
You spit your gum out on the pride sidewalk.
1.00
01:18:53.980
It's about a Nashville college student that was killed.
01:19:01.340
family of murdered nashville college student from new jersey outraged over killer sentencing
01:19:05.620
it should have been life uh he got 38 years uh he got sentenced to 38 years on monday for filing
01:19:12.180
firing the stray bullet that killed belmont university freshman jillian ledwig as she was
01:19:16.460
jogging we've obviously covered that story defender is the key here and we have some context someone
0.99
01:19:22.120
tweeted shoot that car with kids in it judge says you're too retarded incompetent to stand trial
0.97
01:19:27.680
get sent to mental institution instead of jail. Mental institution says you're not retarded
1.00
01:19:32.880
enough. Get instantly released. Kill a young college girl. Yeah, that's what we're dealing
0.99
01:19:37.720
with. And then with Irena Zarutska's killer, I heard that there are state and federal charges.
01:19:42.700
They've deemed him on both to not be competent to stand trial. I don't know what that fully means.
01:19:47.240
If he's not going anywhere or what, we'll find out. We're going to dig in that this weekend.
01:19:51.340
Yeah. But this is the new trend. Yeah, man. Something's got to give, right? Because every
01:19:56.820
single time something like this happens, there's a new victim later. And I guess the mental health
01:20:03.100
professionals aren't really good at their job, right? Oh, he's incompetent, but he will kill
1.00
01:20:08.240
again. You know, like, so you just proved that he had to go to jail instead because this girl
0.98
01:20:13.500
should be alive right now. If we didn't let him take the retard plea, this girl would be alive.
0.95
01:20:20.220
And it's like a freshman girl, man. Nobody deserves that. Yep. And then we have another
1.00
01:20:24.440
sad story an 18 year old girl was uh killed as well yeah i think she was 19 when she was killed
01:20:30.100
isabella stroop uh she was found raped and killed last week in charlotte by tomas hamilton 26 year
01:20:37.600
old with multiple prior arrests and uh this girl was like horribly tortured and uh this hamilton
01:20:44.320
had a lengthy rap sheet with at least 10 arrests since 2020 including carrying a concealed weapon
01:20:48.780
resisting a public officer and driving without insurance or registration and uh he kind of said
01:20:54.260
oh, we were having sex and she died or something.
01:21:12.080
She was tied up with a toe hitch, real depraved shit.
1.00
01:21:21.300
And then if you're a dad or something of a young girl like this, it's worth it to background check your daughter's boyfriend.
01:21:30.780
Well, the talk, you never date a black guy.
0.99
01:21:40.800
And then the other talk is reading his criminal file.
01:21:47.240
And then this other story is from North Carolina as well.
01:21:50.040
Nearly, this is an update from COVID era George Floyd peak woke policies.
01:21:54.500
Nearly half of inmates released under then North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper during COVID have reoffended, including 18 charged with murder.
01:22:03.300
So you give everybody a break because the prisons are crowded and whatever.
01:22:07.040
And 18 people who are pardoned go on to commit a murder.
01:22:15.480
And I just want to read one quote about the recidivism rate.
01:22:19.560
I think it was, yeah, a 2024 report found that the recidivism rate,
01:22:25.240
for the 3,500 total prisoners released as part of the settlement was 48%.
01:22:36.460
Let's hit a lick or let's kill someone or rob someone.
0.99
01:22:38.840
And then here's a picture of all the people who had murdered someone.
0.99
01:22:50.620
We got to look back at this and never let it happen again, right?
01:22:55.500
And we've been covering so much North Carolina stuff.
01:22:57.640
They really are running a bad, they're speed running like bad criminal justice over there.
01:23:05.640
It's going to get worse in LA, believe it or not.
01:23:10.020
Yeah, the LA City Council just voted to limit LAPD pretextual stops blamed for racial discrimination.
01:23:17.380
And we've talked about these, the pretextual crimes, which are examples are like expired tags, broken taillight, cracked windshield, broken mirror, illegal tint, loud exhaust, missing license plate.
01:23:29.260
All the things that like an unkept criminal mind would have, you can't pull someone over for that anymore and then find out that they have an open warrant for violent battery or attempted murder or something.
01:23:40.460
But all the people with the missing license plate, expired tags, and cracked windshields happen to be a certain race.
0.88
01:23:47.560
And instead of, oh, forget the race, did they have the problem or not?
0.99
01:23:53.120
And then that's like an ancillary crime to a broader dysfunction, right?
01:23:58.280
Like when we talked about people who jump the fairs in New York City and how like an extremely high percentage of them have open warrants because they're doing, you know, they're engaging in social dysfunction, right?
01:24:13.140
That pretext probably gets so many violent people off the street because a guy who beats his wife or beats up people or robs people with a weapon, with a gun, they also don't really keep their license plate up to date.
01:24:32.320
And then is this something like, wow, we've graduated.
01:24:39.260
No, it's like worse than ever and they add this.
01:24:47.920
And instead of helping him, people robbed him even worse.
1.00
01:25:12.900
Yeah, it's not really the time with 100 million migrants and black people out of jail so much.
1.00
01:25:17.640
It's not really the time to be blacked out on the streets, right?
0.96
01:25:21.440
And I'm not going to victim blame here because obviously this guy was just a total criminal waiting for an opportunity to present itself and snatch someone's chain.
01:25:34.000
You got to be with friends, you know, stumbling home.
01:25:38.620
You hear college kids get drunk and then disappear abroad and stuff.
01:25:43.880
You got to keep your head on a swivel out there.
01:26:05.820
she doesn't have any authority with this homelessness.
1.00
01:26:08.280
She was the third most powerful person in city council.
1.00
01:26:16.860
I like to say inside safe makes all of us outside unsafe.
01:26:32.700
Nithya Councilman Robbins' plan for treatment first,
0.99
01:26:35.800
I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her
01:26:47.800
These ideas cost us over $400 million to house 3,000 people for $400 million.
01:27:04.920
It's just, and you know, it's nothing groundbreaking.
01:27:07.160
If you watch this show, you know this stuff, right?
01:27:11.680
But it's refreshing to see a guy say that on a stage that matters.
01:27:15.860
How often do you get on the platform and on the stage with the other people to say it to their face?
01:27:21.740
Like, oh, 2016, he's doing the debates, and it's like, oh, this is our chance to finally say it to their face.
01:27:26.340
A lot of people were calling him, saying he had good instincts, and he was like a millennial version of Trump, which I agree.
01:27:32.560
And all it takes is someone who's kind of like firing from the hip, not willing to call a spade a spade.
0.99
01:27:39.140
You spent $400 million on these drug addicts?
1.00
01:27:41.680
And then also, I didn't even know about super meth.
01:27:43.880
I consider myself a connoisseur of street rat behavior.
01:28:16.820
But like, what's it going to hurt you, LA, to try one?
01:28:26.940
I think this might have been from before the Palisades burned up.
01:28:38.900
I've noticed a lot of framing about Spencer Pratt.
01:28:41.900
Everybody says like unanimously he won the debate pretty much,
01:28:47.020
But a lot of the mainstream or like gatekeeper journalists
01:28:54.140
And it's like, I don't know, is everyone happy?
01:29:01.120
We're watching the decay of all of our greatest cities.
01:29:06.120
but they want to call him an angry white man or something.
0.73
01:29:11.220
Is everything affordable and our neighbors are all nice and trustworthy?
01:29:18.440
Our next clip, some people on a river got attacked by a beaver.
1.00
01:29:23.480
I was getting attacked by a fucking beaver.
1.00
01:29:38.300
that's good he keeps coming back but those things bite oh people have died from a beaver bite like
0.99
01:29:45.920
he gets an artery with his two big teeth because he he bites the trees down yeah so his mouth is
01:29:50.760
strong and those teeth are sharp and i saw a lot of people calling this an indian family thinking
01:29:54.640
they were disrespecting it but i think it's a hispanic family and the leading indicator for
01:29:58.300
hispanic family is the crusty white dogs oh you got abuela's dogs with you they like in the eyes
01:30:05.140
But shout out to the beaver fighting migrants.
1.00
01:30:15.380
Well, it's like a one in a thousand hit from the beaver to kill you,
0.98
01:30:21.120
And if you're in the water and they're coming at you,
01:30:23.780
like going underwater, they're good underwater too.
01:30:29.080
You know beavers share their little hounds with different species?
01:30:34.760
They know somebody else is going to be here, too.
01:30:41.080
All right, next we have a cat who proudly displays all the mice he caught.
01:30:47.080
Everyone's saying the cat arranged them in order of size.
01:30:50.320
And so you can tell he has one S-tier mouse, probably about six or seven A-tier.
01:30:55.560
And then, you know, it goes on kind of like that.
01:31:07.320
We've been covering foul ball on foul ball etiquette.
01:31:21.460
So, guy, Fleckus type, gives it to a kid who looks like me when I was a kid.
01:31:38.840
Throwing it back, we didn't even talk about that.
01:31:44.500
I would, I personally, if I caught an opposing team home run
01:31:47.100
and I saw a little kid who was a fan of the opposing team,
01:31:58.820
If I saw like a seven-year-old kid who was going
01:32:00.880
and was a fan of the other team, I'd hand it to him.
01:32:02.940
Yeah. If I was going to throw it back for the home run and like,
01:32:06.300
you're allowed to throw it back and it's not going to cause a problem.
01:32:09.040
You're allowed to throw it back. Even if not a foul ball.
01:32:14.440
So I would do a thing where I throw the ball from like center field,
01:32:20.260
Like rookie of the year with a broken arm and then it goes like this, but I,
01:32:24.000
but I would just hopefully be able to throw it without a broken arm and a cast
01:32:29.160
But I would just try to throw it as far as I could.
01:32:39.060
It got to the pitcher mound, he just threw it 330 feet
01:32:43.680
And then they're going to be like, who is this guy you could throw it so far
01:32:46.960
Let's get him behind the plate, we need a new catcher
0.82
01:32:48.900
And then you're signed through a one day contract
01:32:58.480
And while wandering through the woods looking for rare crayfish
01:33:02.380
Naturally, it needed to be snorkeled, so to satisfy my curiosity, I suited up and stepped into Shrek's in-ground pool.
01:33:07.560
Once I cleared a little window in the duckweed, I pushed off into the center.
01:33:12.240
From the surface, I know that a swampy sinkhole like this might look kind of booty cheeks.
01:33:16.060
But beneath that thin veil of green, I found myself in an eerie underwater world that was every bit spectacular in its own right.
01:33:22.140
The sinkhole was mostly full of sticks and branches with a few fish milling about.
01:33:25.820
The whole pool was glowing like it was radioactive as sunlight filtered through the shag carpet ceiling of duckweed.
01:33:30.900
As I turned around to head out, my trail through the duckweed created an opening for the sunlight to pierce through, revealing the true blue clarity of this forbidden aquatic kingdom.
01:33:38.840
Despite getting duckweed in my mouth and having to later remove it from several unmentionable crevices, this was still a 10 out of 10 snorkel.
01:33:45.300
So that's like stuff you like. You like to snorkel. You want to go dig around in the mud?
01:33:53.400
I thought you snorkel everything. Oh, that snorkeling is so great.
01:34:02.060
You know, eventually we'll go to the beach and it'll be me and my snorkel, then my backup snorkel.
01:34:07.460
And you'll say, you'll sheepishly say, here, let me see it.
01:34:21.840
Next, we have an example of old school technology that you don't really see anymore.
01:34:53.580
Now it goes computer and, you know, you watch people cutting grass on their, on reels.
01:34:59.160
Yeah, but that is like a pretty cool invention.
01:35:07.760
We've replaced it with the yank cord now, right?
01:35:10.100
So I guess it creates a little tension and then rotates something,
01:35:13.380
and we've swapped it out with a pole cord, I guess.
01:35:17.740
I don't know much about small engines or small engine repairs or maintaining them.
01:35:25.560
I mean, you're the one impressed by just some stupid fucking thing that we stopped using 50 years ago.

01:35:30.540
Well, when the power goes out for good and everyone goes, where do I charge my lawnmower?

01:35:42.800
All right, our Pure Americana Clip of the Week is actually a story about a historic hotel in Portland that is at risk of closing.
01:35:51.240
It's called Dan and Louis's Oyster Bar and Seafood in downtown Porton.
01:36:00.960
It's a four-generational restaurant that was opened by my husband's great-grandfather.
01:36:09.420
We've got all three of our kids working down here pretty much on a daily basis.
01:36:14.660
At the end of October, early November, I literally did not think we were going to make it to Christmas.
01:36:19.020
And we were at our point where it was like, I can either set a date to close or I can start calling people and like putting the story out there.
01:36:31.500
I am here to make sure that this historic restaurant stays here for people.
01:36:35.960
Like, I want this museum to be here for, you know, generations.
01:36:39.980
So they're struggling and they've been here for a long, long time.
01:36:44.920
So if you're in the downtown Portland area, we don't know these people.
01:36:52.020
But I'm talking about their great-great-grandfather
01:36:54.080
who was probably pretty based and knew how the world works.
01:37:03.220
Dan and Louie's Oyster Bar and Seafood, downtown Portland.
01:37:09.360
And there's something like to the decay of Portland
01:37:15.940
The Nike store is closing that have been there for 40 years.
01:37:22.240
And a shitty leftist punk who lives in Portland, who pretends like it's not decaying, will say, fuck Target, fuck Walmart, those megacorks.
1.00
01:37:32.300
But the same policies that hurt Target and Walmart, who will just go somewhere else, they'll go out to the suburbs where the people have fled from the city.
1.00
01:37:41.360
Oh, yeah, and fuck that 118-year-old mom and pop four-generation oyster bar.
1.00
01:37:45.940
Yeah. Fuck that. Like, so that's the point is people get caught in the wreckage and they can, they can do a little mental exercise to justify why it doesn't matter that Target's not here anymore, which, you know, it doesn't really, but then the decay starts affecting the culture of what made the city so vibrant for so long.
1.00
01:38:08.500
Like these people, if they had the same rules, Portland, from the time they were, you know, two generations in, this place would be humming.
01:38:22.160
And instead we have this where they're like basically begging to stay open and begging for community support.
01:38:29.760
We have Mother's Day shout outs, especially of Happy Mother's Day to Rebecca from us and your husband, Lance, and your baby, Lance III.
01:38:38.980
They're all bonus landers, including Lance III.
01:38:42.760
Happy Mother's Day to Victoria from us and Blake.
01:38:46.600
And we actually have a picture of their first baby watching the show here.
01:38:52.340
Happy Mother's Day to Kim from us and Nicholas.
01:38:54.900
They've been together for 15 years and just had their first kid a few weeks ago,
01:38:59.000
and they've been watching since Richard Rapoy had the side seat.
01:39:04.260
And, yeah, Kim also thinks the show is really funny, especially the thumbnails.
01:39:11.540
Happy Mother's Day to Miguel's beautiful wife and mother of two, Brianna Garcia.
01:39:24.900
Happy Mother's Day to Angie from us and Charlie and Brooklyn.
01:39:30.140
Charlie is stationed overseas, so he doesn't really obviously get to see everyone as much anymore.
01:39:36.220
But when he calls home and he talks to his mom, they always talk about the show.
01:39:41.380
That's a good, easy thing to talk about, you know?
01:39:44.060
Sometimes, you know, it's hard to relate to your mom other than the usual stuff.
01:39:50.940
Happy Mother's Day to Matt H.'s wife and mom of three.
01:40:05.400
Happy Mother's Day to Aaron H. from your husband, Matt, and us.
01:40:10.160
They have three great kids, and they love the show.
01:40:20.660
Happy Mother's Day to Elizabeth from Us and Ezekiel.
0.97
01:40:39.000
She's a retired female police officer, and she's great.
1.00
01:40:42.440
And she doesn't love when we make fun of women cops.
1.00
01:41:03.900
And the ability to put the things you disagree on the side and still enjoy the show is what's important.
01:41:47.320
So happy birthday and anniversary to Chris in Alexandria.
01:41:51.400
Happy 40th birthday to Anne on April 30th.

01:41:59.780
Shout out to Mike and his brother Tommy, and congrats on your new jobs.
01:42:03.300
Mike got his sciatica fixed, and he got a job with iron workers,
01:42:19.880
Well, the cork comes from the tree, cork, right?
01:42:28.600
This sounded like, at first I read that and I was like, are you just telling me the script
01:42:35.340
Tommy took over, he's got to sell half a million brake pads.
01:42:38.740
Tommy took over his dad's business at Callahan Auto Parts.
01:42:48.900
I had a friend with sciatica and it killed him.
01:43:02.720
They're both show watchers and she just got into USCPA school,
01:43:07.460
physician assistant school, and he's graduating from UCLA's dental school.
01:43:11.240
So they're a power couple and they love the show.
01:43:28.240
All right, well, that's the end of the episode.
01:43:29.400
Thank you guys for watching all the way through, especially through all the shout outs.
01:43:34.240

01:43:38.420
And if not, unfortunate, but we'll see you Tuesday.
01:45:11.240
It's exactly what the feds wouldn't want you to see
01:45:18.540
But it could be a distraction and that rings true to me
01:46:16.480
There's uplifting gold and fleckish pets getting trolled
01:46:37.660
We're doing the best to keep the P.O. box full.
01:46:43.460
We won't stop till the world is rid of all the pit bulls.
01:46:56.600

01:48:13.900
Like this talk, words are just words until action actually starts
