00:01:23.600 I said, oh, look, there's the SPLC's

00:01:25.220 rotting carcass right there.

00:01:27.940 I wish that was more true.

00:01:29.560 You know the SPLC has like $800 million.

00:01:31.380 $800 million endowment.

00:01:33.880 That's like reserved for

00:01:35.220 universities. You could keep a lot of Dead Turtles

00:01:37.400 alive for a long time.

00:01:39.540 You can't

00:01:41.620 actually bring turtles back to life.

00:01:44.160 So we've got Andrew.

00:01:47.180 We've got

00:01:47.760 Blackpill, Bolshevik, Blake.

00:01:48.880 what's up like we have russ we have anyone else today you know in theory tyler will come in but

00:01:55.780 you know how tyler is he's he's often distracted he's got to serve in the spice wars we we can't

00:02:01.080 afford to lose the spice wars so the spice must flow yeah the spice has got to flow and if that

00:02:06.460 means we lose tyler for one or two or five episodes at a time so be it but we hope we'll

00:02:11.720 get here because we have we have something very very important to update everyone on

00:02:16.360 so important that we have to get in somebody went to wawa i believe for the very first time this

00:02:24.340 week uh that's not true no i why do you i have explained this to you before multiple times i

00:02:32.940 think of the last week russ's live i i've gone to wawa many times usually when i'm in dc because

00:02:38.540 it's like you know conveniently on store corners no because it's a gas station isn't it it's

00:02:46.020 basically a gas station i don't it candidly i don't understand so that's just a lie but it's

00:02:51.820 kind of it's he's what he's saying is it's kind of the same yeah it's like a quick trip right

00:02:55.200 yeah it's a quick trip no it's a no i mean it's like even i know that isn't true it's a quick

00:03:00.700 trip is for people quick trips for people who don't like like taste and flavor hey you know

00:03:06.320 what quick trip is where i get my coffee so leave me alone they have black rifle yeah yeah no i i

00:03:11.820 I mean, no, I understand.

00:03:13.100 I mean, that's one of the reasons that I never wanted to move to the Kings area

00:03:17.240 because there's no Wawa.

00:03:19.520 Well, I like Wawa, Jack.

00:03:21.760 I do like it.

00:03:23.360 And they have great sandwich selection and many other things.

00:03:27.080 What'd you get?

00:03:27.540 What'd you get?

00:03:27.940 What'd you get?

00:03:29.040 I mean, I think I got like a turkey something or other,

00:03:31.560 but I don't know.

00:03:32.220 I was in and out.

00:03:33.080 But did you get turkey hoagie or turkey quesadilla?

00:03:35.720 I got the hoagie.

00:03:37.260 You got the hoagie?

00:03:37.720 As a proper red state American, I prefer sheets.

00:03:40.720 Sheets and Wawa are from the same state

00:03:44.460 Blake. I know

00:03:45.360 and I'm from the red part of the

00:03:48.420 state as opposed to the blue lib part of the

00:03:50.340 state is Sheets

00:03:51.880 So are you saying Wawa is

00:03:54.100 blue coded? Yes, Wawa is

00:03:55.640 Wawa is Philly coded

00:03:57.740 Sheets is heroic American

00:04:00.100 countryside coded. Wow. This is a big

00:04:02.040 dividing line. It sounds like Sheets

00:04:03.900 is heritage Americans and

00:04:06.100 Wawa is import Americans

00:04:07.900 that are not really American

00:04:09.900 so not even not even close so i just don't have an affinity for trumped up gas station well this

00:04:15.580 is my whole thing my question she's never been to wawa so like you know as a person who's never

00:04:22.400 even been there yeah but never even been more the red-coated yeah but but bucky's they're just

00:04:27.180 different geographic locations i don't think you can make a buck bucky's is also a different

00:04:30.920 category of thing like bucky's is more like a truck stop i think i think the the chat needs to

00:04:36.860 inform us what is better sheets buckies or wawa by the way i bet more people know wawa just because

00:04:43.200 i think there's more wawas i'm pretty sure there's more sheets yeah wawa and sheets are pretty they

00:04:52.140 go toe-to-toe these days all right jack why don't you educate me why do you like wawa so much

00:04:58.480 because i like quality i like taste because i believe in maha and real food which she does not

00:05:05.980 wait you think wawa is mama maha wait mama mama so wait uh you think wawa is absolutely

00:05:14.680 and not woo woo compared to sheets absolutely yeah that's blake's it blake thinks maha is

00:05:21.920 it's a bunch of woo woo that's why i don't that's why i don't go for the wah-wah that was that was

00:05:26.060 the uh that was the atlantic's story about the uh maha movement during the campaign it was like woo

00:05:31.720 yeah yeah let's see what's it's it's yeah it's it's good quality food it's philadelphia based

00:05:40.800 obviously from there okay there it is that's that's the real reason which means no he likes

00:05:48.720 it because it's in philly where as you said we have these import americans who took over

00:05:52.860 a heritage american city yeah where heritage america still lives

00:05:56.800 250 years ago this year so so i fly into philly last weekend because i i had to go to an event

00:06:04.740 and um and so i made the comment to jack i was like i haven't been to philly in i mean ages it's

00:06:11.100 been a long time since i've been to philly and jack instantly the first thing he goes wawa gotta

00:06:16.240 go to wawa i was like do you know wawa yeah so he was like asking me about the event and trying

00:06:21.600 to get some like what's the lay of the land who are some of the key figures out there and i was

00:06:25.980 like but did you go to wawa like i just i just want to know if you went to wawa andrew and he's

00:06:29.600 like he's like yeah no get there i'm like and i i wouldn't stop like i wouldn't answer any of

00:06:34.200 his questions until he confirmed to me that he was on his way to wawa yeah it was it was pretty

00:06:38.300 funny it shows where jack jack is not even sponsored by well so you were in philly for

00:06:42.300 the first time in eternity did you go to no i did i did nothing cool you did nothing cool i flew in

00:06:48.500 on a on a red eye i woke up i went to bed as soon as i got to the air uh the hotel like 5 30 in the

00:06:54.800 morning i woke up i ended up having to deal with some work stuff that popped up wrote my speech

00:07:00.160 drove to the event in lancaster which i say right and then that is correct and then i did the event

00:07:06.900 drove home went to bed woke up hit the airplane

00:07:09.600 i did i was trying to get i wanted to go downtown to be honest i wanted to drive around downtown

00:07:15.560 so you've never been to pat's or gino's i have i've been to both okay you've been to both yeah

00:07:19.860 that was on my original trip to philly actually the the time that i went to philly before this

00:07:24.120 time was when i went to pat pat's and genos okay where they come together in little triangles which

00:07:28.320 did you prefer yeah i can't actually recall yeah i really can't i think i was when i went to pat's

00:07:35.380 and genos i think i was like 19 and so i i can't remember which one i i thought they were good

00:07:41.540 but i didn't think either was extraordinary being evasive jack jack what do you think

00:07:46.040 the difference comes down to like what you prefer uh genos is like a cleaner bun and a

00:07:53.740 you know like like very much made to order whereas pats like they soak the buns into grease and it's

00:08:00.320 just dripping with like flavor and fat and and steak you know goody gooeyness and so if you like

00:08:09.500 that better then you'll like a pats better if you like that soggy bun situation if you if you want

00:08:15.360 the cleaner but like like so i generally prefer pats whereas my wife uh generally prefers gino's

00:08:20.220 because she likes that cleaner bun.

00:08:22.520 Gina's also the one that they

00:08:23.920 had the stunt where you had to speak American

00:08:26.040 to order a sandwich properly.

00:08:28.000 Yeah, so Joey Vento was the former

00:08:29.960 owner. He passed away of

00:08:31.460 Gina's back 20 years ago now, man.

00:08:34.200 That was 2006 when he put this

00:08:36.140 up that said, this is America.

00:08:37.940 Put up a sign that said, this is America when ordering

00:08:39.960 speak English. That was Gina's.

00:08:43.880 They wouldn't do that now, though.

00:08:46.340 I mean, they might. I think they kept it up a long time.

00:08:48.100 they might have taken it down in 2020 or something

00:08:50.300 I don't know

00:08:51.860 they may have taken it down

00:08:52.640 oh it's worse the sign was quietly removed

00:08:55.820 shortly before the 2016

00:08:57.560 democrat national convention

00:08:59.240 to avoid offending the democrats

00:09:01.700 which is in fact that is

00:09:03.180 I believe when I actually went to Pats and Gina

00:09:05.720 no wait no I went to Pats and Gina's

00:09:07.380 because I was in Philly to cover the white privilege

00:09:09.320 conference in 2016

00:09:10.840 true story

00:09:12.720 you know what's been a really fascinating

00:09:15.080 move like after

00:09:16.300 like you have to go to a concert or something so like all throughout high school or uh college like

00:09:21.960 you go to a concert you you know then you hit up pats and genos because all everything else is

00:09:26.320 closed but they'd be open late night so you just go down there you get a steak drive home good good

00:09:31.920 times and it was safe enough back when i was in high school and college that my parents would let

00:09:36.580 me go down there with and come on this pre-cell phone era so without a cell phone they're like

00:09:40.940 yeah have the car go to the concert go to pass and geno's come home be fine all right so to get

00:09:46.960 back to our original topic here which is the wawa versus sheets so we have no so so we have wawa

00:09:53.280 it's theoretically this top gas station chain but we all know it's not really competitive with

00:09:59.620 bucky's and that raises the question has wawa secretly been has wawa secretly been receiving

00:10:07.020 payments from the Southern

00:10:09.600 Poverty Law Center to make it

00:10:11.780 competitive with Buc-ee's so that we can pretend

00:10:13.640 that there is a viable gas station

00:10:15.720 on the East Coast.

00:10:17.620 I think we need to ask these questions now.

00:10:19.420 Has the SPLC been funneling money?

00:10:21.800 We have cheaper gas than you Arizona guys do.

00:10:24.040 It's true. You know why?

00:10:25.400 Because we're in a

00:10:27.100 gas desert in the West because

00:10:29.340 theoretically California should

00:10:31.720 be supplying better gas, but they don't.

00:10:33.760 So getting supplies to Arizona

00:10:35.700 is a bit of a trouble.

00:10:36.240 Also, who cares?

00:10:37.480 Arizona is just like, we flow with wealth.

00:10:39.500 Almost like God didn't intend for people to live in deserts.

00:10:43.260 God really didn't.

00:10:44.180 Although I will tell you, so fun fact.

00:10:46.360 Gosh, we're bouncing all over the place.

00:10:47.520 Sorry, audience.

00:10:48.180 But hey, check this out.

00:10:49.480 So there are a series of canals throughout the valley in Phoenix.

00:10:53.460 Turns out these canals were first used like 1,500 years ago by the Native Americans.

00:11:00.480 They have been functional.

00:11:02.240 they charted out the exact

00:11:04.460 like perfect route

00:11:06.120 for the water to flow with gravity

00:11:07.920 and so we still use the exact same route as they did

00:11:10.620 originally what happened to those people

00:11:11.940 they got wiped out by the settlers

00:11:14.120 oh so they're all dead alright well that's an ominous sign

00:11:16.460 but anyway

00:11:17.920 but Phoenix actually has

00:11:19.780 a water source coming from

00:11:22.320 two directions basically down into the valley

00:11:24.560 and it flows throughout the valley so people have been here

00:11:26.340 for a long time as I will know

00:11:27.480 Phoenix is a fake desert it rains all the time here

00:11:30.420 so

00:11:30.980 well if blake is the one person in phoenix who thinks the problem with phoenix is that it's too

00:11:36.160 wet it rains too much and it's too cold it rains all the time it's too cold and it rains all the

00:11:39.440 time here it's this is a fake desert and in fact in real life if you check the science

00:11:44.340 it is the wettest desert in the world what it is let me ask you this this is the west

00:11:50.760 in order to be a desert you have to get less than 10 inches of rain a year right i don't know what

00:11:55.380 the exact amount is but whatever it is we are right at that dividing line we could they could

00:11:59.720 They could move it a little bit and we'd just be one of those

00:12:01.700 semi-arid plains

00:12:03.660 or whatever. Maybe climate change will save us.

00:12:05.680 Yeah. Alright, so we're keeping in mind.

00:12:08.020 But we have to get on the SPLC.

00:12:09.900 Wait, wait. Before we do this, though,

00:12:11.820 Andrew, when you were on the East Coast,

00:12:13.520 when you were in beautiful Pennsylvania,

00:12:16.100 you did not see a desert

00:12:17.520 climate, did you? No. You saw what

00:12:19.640 a real springtime looks like.

00:12:21.580 I saw Lyme disease. I saw

00:12:23.600 if I hike through

00:12:25.660 this forest, I'm going to get Lyme disease.

00:12:27.860 Yeah, that's Connecticut.

00:12:29.720 my fiance can attest to that yeah that's what i saw jack i saw man how how brave and you know

00:12:38.600 just amazing were the founding generations that that pioneered through those forests and made

00:12:45.160 settlements and established america philadelphia is where we originally noticed the phenomenon of

00:12:50.180 like everyone being zombified on on fentanyl right i think the original fentanyl oh yeah

00:12:54.940 video it's philadelphia that's what i think so hold on that um so that area is called um is

00:13:00.280 kensington and it's called the kna corner so kensington and allegheny in philly so what's

00:13:06.460 interesting is that though so it's it's yeah where all the fentanyl zombies are it's underneath the

00:13:10.260 market frankfort l right now and what's interesting is that that same area blake i'm sure you would

00:13:16.100 find this interesting uh used to be run by a group called the kna gang and the kna gang was basically

00:13:21.940 the irish mafia of philadelphia and let me tell you something even up through the 80s up through

00:13:26.440 the 1990s you could still go down to k and a and you could take your family shopping there on a

00:13:31.700 sunday you could go out with your friends you it was perfectly safe and perfectly fine when it was

00:13:37.420 run by the irish mafia however when they cleaned that up and decided to let the fentanyl zombies

00:13:43.360 run in through we now have a new name for that area and it is called kensington beach do you

00:13:48.380 guys know why it's called kensington beach everybody's laying out on the sidewalk it's

00:13:52.940 called kensington beach because everyone's laying out on the sidewalk strung out like

00:13:56.980 they're on the beach and like they're sunning themselves this is true what you're talking

00:14:02.140 about is a true is a true phenomenon because in boston i remember when i was in boston there's

00:14:06.340 an area that was controlled by the italian mafia everybody kind of still knew it i don't know if

00:14:10.700 it still is uh but it was it was the safest part of boston it like the urban core of boston

00:14:17.560 because the uh because the italian mafia ran it hey do you guys know what the name for the

00:14:23.820 neighborhood is where all the fentanyl zombies are in phoenix because if you do you should tell

00:14:29.000 me because i don't have an easy shorthand druggy neighborhood in phoenix i think in uh in boston

00:14:40.300 It's called Mass and Cast, a.k.a.

00:14:42.320 The Method of Mile.

00:14:43.380 Hold on, we have some really good SPLC

00:14:46.420 memes, and the team's like,

00:14:48.140 we need to abandon that topic. No!

00:14:50.440 These SPLC memes have to be shown.

00:14:52.440 Blake?

00:14:53.440 The SPLC has funded...

00:14:56.620 It turns out, the big plot twist this week

00:14:58.540 is the SPLC has been funding

00:15:00.400 various disreputable organizations

00:15:02.780 like the Ku Klux Klan

00:15:04.340 and the National Socialist

00:15:06.860 Party of America and the City

00:15:08.660 of philadelphia and wawa and all of these things very sinister entities but it turns out they

00:15:15.020 finally got caught so they've got a pile of 800 million dollars and it turns out they've been

00:15:19.940 paying people on the far right better than you know the actual far right pays its own people

00:15:23.320 and they finally got caught and we have a lot we have a lot of great stuff uh let's see well what

00:15:28.760 do you guys think is the funniest one you needed to rank these by like funniness otherwise well so

00:15:33.280 before we before we get into the means just to make sure everyone you know because some people

00:15:36.320 like this is the for some people this is actually their only source of news all week i've heard

00:15:41.160 because some people are straight up like i only listen to thought crime so i actually just somebody

00:15:46.120 told me the exact same thing this week jack yeah so fair yeah yeah no i'm serious like i have people

00:15:50.940 tell me that so this has come up where the spLC which was basically like the or like they were

00:15:57.100 like the racism clearinghouse like we determined whether or not people are racist or not like

00:16:01.920 that's how they reported themselves and that and they've been cited by everyone literally everyone

00:16:07.000 from cbs to cnn to the department of justice to the fbi like all the way up and down courts have

00:16:14.320 cited them uh paypal would censor you and venmo would debank you if you um were listed by the

00:16:21.300 spLC amazon would delist you wikipedia uh wikipedia on charlie's charlie kirk's page still cites

00:16:27.760 the SPLC I checked out this week

00:16:30.040 and so over and over and over

00:16:31.860 they are seen as this like reputable clearing

00:16:33.800 house of quote unquote

00:16:35.360 we determine who the extremists are

00:16:37.300 and they were indicted this week for fraud

00:16:39.640 because it turns out that they were raising a ton of money

00:16:41.720 in direct mail campaigns

00:16:43.720 and scare tactics to raise money

00:16:45.980 and they were actually

00:16:47.700 funding extremist organizations

00:16:49.900 to then go around and scare their donors

00:16:52.000 and say oh my gosh look at all these extremist

00:16:53.620 groups and look at all these events

00:16:55.520 and look at all this racism that's on the rise

00:16:57.600 but it turns out it was on the rise because they were paying for it in the first place

00:17:02.120 and they got indicted and there's egg all over their face and it's really really funny

00:17:06.400 and blake to your point the memes have been absolute fire the memes have been like probably

00:17:14.380 the best part of my week honestly like we probably just percent just go through them all

00:17:18.760 number one i think number one is just them announcing the indictment oh number two but

00:17:23.880 there you go

00:17:25.620 oh man

00:17:26.020 you guys

00:17:27.780 are we getting

00:17:28.140 no we got to

00:17:28.720 reading it

00:17:29.060 for the podcast guys

00:17:30.580 finding out the SPLC

00:17:32.140 has been

00:17:32.880 paying people

00:17:34.080 to promote

00:17:34.960 white supremacy

00:17:36.200 you guys

00:17:37.100 are getting paid

00:17:38.000 so true

00:17:40.260 so true

00:17:40.980 yeah

00:17:41.240 hey man

00:17:41.760 some of us

00:17:42.300 some of us

00:17:42.740 do it for love

00:17:43.280 of the game

00:17:43.820 yeah I was gonna say

00:17:44.820 never

00:17:46.980 never

00:17:47.500 three

00:17:48.000 75 bucks

00:17:49.440 honestly just like

00:17:50.200 cycle through

00:17:50.860 that

00:17:51.080 it's like just

00:17:52.020 kind of

00:17:52.980 Hitler

00:17:53.300 What is this?

00:17:55.020 This is some little kid

00:17:56.440 is marching, is goose-stepping

00:17:58.860 and doing the Hitler salute

00:18:00.300 after the SPLC says it's $75.

00:18:04.080 This is the great

00:18:05.160 Clayton Bigsby bit from the Chappelle

00:18:07.020 show years ago, The Black White Supremacist.

00:18:09.360 How the last SPLC meeting went.

00:18:15.220 This is good.

00:18:16.980 He takes the hood off and he's black underneath.

00:18:19.140 We should have had that with the sound.

00:18:20.120 We should have had that with the sound.

00:18:21.420 i don't know some of the sound on that episode might not uh be great

00:18:25.340 oh here's sabrina carpenter my woke aunt learning her spLC donations were funding

00:18:31.540 i don't like it yeah i was gonna say i don't like it please i don't like it i don't like it

00:18:37.980 it is funny jokes aside what does this one say heading into my new job at the southern poverty

00:18:43.920 law center that's good i love it all right wait okay here we go splc employee waking up this

00:18:52.580 morning realizing they were funding the very thing they were fighting quote-unquote are we

00:18:58.400 the baddies um okay oh dear the elmo one but what if elmo was paid 270 000 by the splc

00:19:09.000 Can Elmo say it, man?

00:19:13.020 Terrible.

00:19:14.380 And that is two black kids on a bench.

00:19:17.440 That's terrible.

00:19:19.000 The thing is, is you can make jokes,

00:19:20.680 but that probably happened

00:19:21.640 because we see in the indictment

00:19:23.220 that someone who was involved in planning

00:19:24.680 the Unite the Right rally

00:19:25.660 was making, allegedly,

00:19:27.260 was making far-right posts

00:19:29.160 under the oversight of the SPLC.

00:19:31.620 So the SPLC very well may have told someone,

00:19:34.440 say it to blend in, kid.

00:19:36.640 Say it.

00:19:37.180 The number of N-words in the world

00:19:39.700 Possibly went up because of the SPLC's money

00:19:41.940 That's probably

00:19:43.960 The most succinct

00:19:46.320 Best put way I've heard it said

00:19:47.960 There have been more N-words uttered

00:19:50.000 In the world because of the SPLC

00:19:51.720 They're paying for it all

00:19:53.280 That's really funny

00:19:54.880 The 800 million dollar N-word fund

00:19:58.400 What did you say Obama?

00:20:00.200 With that being said

00:20:00.920 They're never going to

00:20:02.420 You know

00:20:03.600 They're never going to care

00:20:06.060 you have to understand how the how the liberal mind works they're never actually going to believe

00:20:10.300 you or care they're just going to say the spLC is on my side and you're not well don't hey do we have

00:20:15.800 their explanation for why they if we don't have that clip they gave this this like terrible we

00:20:21.980 were firebombed 40 years ago so we needed to do this i was like okay um okay this one's funny

00:20:29.340 because it's uh you know hi mom why are we so rich and your daddy was a clansman who did

00:20:35.940 contract work for the spLC i mean they paid really well one of the guys got paid a million dollars

00:20:40.580 by them over over a period palace right blake they they have a lot they have a lot of this was

00:20:46.780 great uh from the movie rocky little philly uh action there blake there you go i don't see any

00:20:52.820 logging in the blue sky to tell the lefties they've been funding the kkk they're all running

00:20:57.720 after well what is true then find them all lined up this will probably increase the splc's donations

00:21:03.460 because like the left is naturally going to be reactive in that way and they're going to say

00:21:06.560 like screw you i'm going to donate to the splc because i love it and the funny thing about it

00:21:10.500 i don't even know if i hate it that much i would love to destroy the splc but the consolation if

00:21:15.440 we fail to do this and it becomes bigger than ever the splc is is kind of a money sink for the left

00:21:21.580 like it is a thing that gets a ton of money so that they can have a website up with an annoying

00:21:26.280 hate mat and they used to be more dangerous because they were teaching people at the fbi they

00:21:30.500 were embedded in a lot of things but now at this point the right has learned the splc is a scam

00:21:35.640 we're not listening to the crap they say they don't have the institutional power they used to

00:21:39.940 do but they still get tons of money and if you're going to give a left-wing org 500 million dollars

00:21:46.360 i'd be a lot more worried if that 500 million dollars was going to the aclu if it was going

00:21:51.900 to some lawfare org, and instead it's going to the SPLC

00:21:54.040 so they can have their, you know, gold-plated

00:21:56.440 front door on their

00:21:58.180 poverty palace in Montgomery.

00:21:59.580 Let's do the Seinfeld one with sound.

00:22:01.820 The caption says, Reviewing my speech

00:22:04.100 written by the SPLC for the Hotties

00:22:06.060 for Hitler rally after they

00:22:08.080 paid me $50,000.

00:22:10.480 That's a great scene

00:22:11.560 from Seinfeld.

00:22:13.760 And the Jews

00:22:15.860 steal our money

00:22:18.100 through their Zionist-occupied

00:22:20.120 government, and use the

00:22:22.120 black man to bring drugs

00:22:24.220 into our oppressed

00:22:25.940 white minority communities.

00:22:30.680 SPLC is paying for it, folks.

00:22:32.800 Brought to you, in part,

00:22:34.360 by the SPLC.

00:22:35.600 Do we have any more?

00:22:38.600 Dang, we have so many.

00:22:39.780 We have unlimited amounts.

00:22:41.260 I sent a million other of these,

00:22:44.300 and I've definitely been texting

00:22:45.640 everyone in my contacts list.

00:22:47.860 Wait, where?

00:22:48.400 i like that hold on the star wars one which one's that yeah oh that's all right it was already up

00:22:53.620 uh splc i'm working on hate crimes like stopping them right stopping them right yeah that's no

00:23:02.620 then there's the uh american history x one which one that one oh man that one's bad edward nor

00:23:10.220 no no no you're thinking of the like the x-rated one or the r-rated one if you will i was just

00:23:16.860 thinking about the normal one where he goes from like normal that actor's name is ed norton

00:23:21.000 yeah yeah yeah okay we don't have that one oh well uh show the cash patel one 21 yeah cash

00:23:29.860 patel whipping off the kkk hood to reveal it was obama all along obama

00:23:37.100 play it again nice obama why is there an n in that obama

00:23:45.660 What is the Colbert one?

00:23:47.240 18?

00:23:50.420 Oh, yeah, he did that.

00:23:51.760 He did it.

00:23:52.180 It was, oh, man.

00:23:53.680 Can't believe Stephen Colbert did that.

00:23:55.380 Stephen Colbert did the Elon.

00:23:56.560 Oh, my goodness.

00:23:57.060 He went full Elon Musk there.

00:23:58.540 Stephen Colbert trying to get some.

00:23:59.560 I think we have to get credit where it's due, though,

00:24:01.960 because, and I've said this a couple other places,

00:24:05.900 I'll say it here, too, that Fox News has been great on this.

00:24:08.880 Fox News has been all over this story.

00:24:10.560 They've covered it.

00:24:12.660 I know, Andrew, they had you on.

00:24:14.380 they've been covering it in daytime i mean it's they've just been all over the story they really

00:24:18.520 have yeah well you know it's funny i so i get booked uh to do the fox thing with jesse about

00:24:24.060 it and i look at the dates of when they put turning point in uh charlie you know on the

00:24:30.900 hate map and it was late may of 2025 so that's the fifth month of the year uh you go to september

00:24:39.440 it was less than four months less than four months so he gets put on a hate map four months

00:24:45.780 later he gets killed by an assassin who says some hate can't be negotiated out it was memorial day

00:24:52.540 to labor day basically yeah so i mean and if you kind of like we we like to laugh at the spLC but

00:25:01.000 their influence is tremendous not only are they you know successful in ginning up a lot of money

00:25:06.640 by the way after charlottesville their donations almost tripled in one year so talk about a great

00:25:12.500 roi on investment uh return on investment they they they funded one of the leaders of that rally

00:25:18.140 right 270 000 but they have that we talk about the statue heat map that they have a lot of people

00:25:24.260 were tearing down the statues that the sblc told them they should tear down and then the you you

00:25:29.280 could even trace the presidency of joe biden the reason he ran is because he said charlottesville

00:25:35.020 because he said that these white supremacists

00:25:37.640 were taking over the country or something,

00:25:39.180 which is bizarre,

00:25:40.580 especially as the white population is dropping dramatically,

00:25:43.220 which, by the way, one of the leaders of the SBLC

00:25:45.520 had famously a poster on the back of his wall

00:25:49.700 during an interview that tracked the decrease

00:25:53.300 of the white percentage of the population in America

00:25:55.160 over the years.

00:25:55.780 It's so deranged that that's real.

00:25:57.300 Yeah, it's real.

00:25:58.380 So anyways, you could laugh at them.

00:26:01.280 They are a former husk,

00:26:02.680 a hollowed-out husk of their former selves,

00:26:04.480 but it's like

00:26:05.240 they're not that all about

00:26:06.240 yeah exactly

00:26:07.160 and they still got

00:26:07.720 800 million dollars

00:26:08.860 and they still

00:26:10.040 inform the FBI

00:26:10.860 they still work with the DOJ

00:26:12.180 at least they did

00:26:12.840 during Biden years

00:26:13.580 you know

00:26:13.940 if this lawsuit succeeds

00:26:15.220 by the way

00:26:15.800 because they're claiming

00:26:16.740 they fundraised

00:26:17.760 using fraudulent means

00:26:19.660 it would allow

00:26:20.740 the federal government

00:26:21.380 to seize the money

00:26:22.800 ooh good

00:26:23.860 that'll help pay

00:26:24.500 for some of the tariffs

00:26:24.860 which is a strategy

00:26:25.460 they've gone for

00:26:25.980 the left tried to do

00:26:26.940 the same thing to the NRA

00:26:27.980 they were gonna seize

00:26:28.820 all of the NRA's money

00:26:29.900 and basically give it

00:26:30.780 to anti-gun groups

00:26:32.660 they failed to do so

00:26:34.040 but they came close yeah i mean i just think the sblc is a really despicable organization and you

00:26:39.840 it really does put a target on your your back if you get put on their infamous heat map so i hope

00:26:45.540 that to the extent you know more than the money more than anything it's kind of like i hope that

00:26:50.320 whatever power that is is broken is shattered that they are discredited to the point that they can't

00:26:55.800 influence at least as many people i'm sure there's going to be some people that still believe it but

00:26:59.540 that's really the goal, is that they

00:27:01.200 lose the power to

00:27:03.680 target and put conservatives on their hit list.

00:27:07.740 Destroy the SPLC. 100%.

00:27:09.160 Now, if we're going to destroy the SPLC, there's

00:27:11.700 another institution that has

00:27:13.880 a lot of infamy in

00:27:15.680 American life that is in

00:27:17.520 peril right now.

00:27:20.120 It also has a

00:27:21.480 demographic

00:27:23.700 relation.

00:27:26.000 And that, of course, is Spirit Airlines.

00:27:28.020 Spirit.

00:27:29.540 spirit airlines is in peril or are they if you need to use the bathroom i don't know i've never

00:27:34.480 used they charge you for i'll admit i don't know that i've ever i've flown it once i'm not sure

00:27:39.080 that i've ever i've ever crapped on an airplane i don't know it just seems like something they

00:27:42.340 would do but it was spirit airlines is like the ryanair of america right essentially i flew it

00:27:47.720 once but it was like if you bring a backpack ryanair is way better than spirit way way better

00:27:52.880 ryanair is more ruthless ryanair is like they're also ruthless you can get a super

00:27:59.120 stripped down thing and you can fly somewhere

00:28:01.240 for like $30.

00:28:03.280 Spirit Air doesn't go that extreme.

00:28:05.540 Spirit Air was just a

00:28:06.620 not as good of a model.

00:28:09.400 I remember when I lived in Europe in college

00:28:11.140 for a semester,

00:28:12.440 I flew Ryanair everywhere, basically.

00:28:15.180 The only way I got around.

00:28:16.840 I flew Ryanair last fall, but no, Spirit is around.

00:28:18.740 I've flown Spirit multiple times, and truthfully,

00:28:20.660 I've never really had a bad experience with it.

00:28:22.600 The main bad experience is if you use it to fly to D.C.,

00:28:24.640 you fly into Baltimore.

00:28:26.960 But anyway, Spirit Airlines,

00:28:28.280 is they're having a rough time right now.

00:28:30.400 As you guys may have heard, gas prices

00:28:32.200 have risen around the world

00:28:34.020 due to macroeconomic effects

00:28:35.980 that can be unpredictable. And that has placed

00:28:38.340 budget airlines

00:28:39.600 like Spirit in peril. But

00:28:41.860 racing to the rescue is

00:28:43.700 the Trump administration, which is offering

00:28:46.140 $500 million to bail out Spirit Airlines.

00:28:48.500 It says something about our federal government

00:28:50.260 that a $500 million bailout

00:28:52.120 for a company barely makes

00:28:54.180 you blink. We probably spend $500 million

00:28:56.360 to buy some screw that

00:28:58.140 we use in like why would you why would you you know rush in to bail out something as horrendous

00:29:04.380 and culturally you know problematic as spirit is spirit airlines culturally problematic do you just

00:29:09.660 have a problem with the color yellow do you have a problem with the other color that's on that plane

00:29:14.160 andrew i think it's bad for air travel and the culture of air travel it's like the carnival

00:29:20.740 cruise line of

00:29:21.900 airlines.

00:29:25.540 You may have a point.

00:29:27.000 You probably go on there and they're

00:29:29.020 playing country music

00:29:31.860 or they're playing rap.

00:29:33.460 Luckily, there's noise-canceling

00:29:35.340 headphones that you can use to blot out

00:29:37.160 that. None of the passengers on Spirit Airlines

00:29:38.940 have enough social grace

00:29:41.160 to do.

00:29:42.280 I can use noise-canceling headphones.

00:29:45.300 What I'll say is...

00:29:46.340 Are you a Spirit Airlines fan?

00:29:48.540 I am shilling for Spirit Airlines.

00:29:50.320 i will say this i will say this a funny thing that applies a lot to air travel

00:29:55.260 compared to other industries is like a lot of people seem genuinely angry that people who aren't

00:30:02.180 rich are able to fly on planes because if you check flight prices from the 1970s the 1980s it

00:30:08.160 used to be a lot more expensive to fly and far fewer people had ever done it i remember i only

00:30:14.000 flew a handful of times before i was in high school uh it was pretty common to meet people

00:30:18.840 who'd never flown on a plane in their entire lives it's a lot cheaper to fly now it's a lot

00:30:23.900 more accessible one of the reasons is things like spirit airlines now frontier is good frontier is

00:30:29.300 good i i've flown frontier and i've flown spirit so i just googled what what is the cheapest

00:30:36.500 airlines that frontier and spirit airlines are generally the cheapest airlines for domestic i

00:30:40.500 have a problem with frontier not because of their service my main problem with frontier is when i'm

00:30:44.940 searching for a flight somewhere it'll always be gummed up by suggesting well actually the cheapest

00:30:50.060 option is if you get on this frontier plane fly to denver and then wait 17 hours to take a follow-up

00:30:55.600 flight to another and that's annoying you can usually you can select it out but i have to go

00:31:00.380 and do that yeah which clicking we had a really we had a really bad experience in frontier once

00:31:06.700 um where we were flying back from orlando and i think it was like one of the seatbacks was down

00:31:12.060 there at one point and this was when our youngest was still a baby and they'd oversold the flight

00:31:18.420 or overbooked or whatever and we're standing there at the door like when they when you know

00:31:22.340 they say like line up if you have uh kids or whatever so we're standing there at the door

00:31:26.600 with the baby and they say oh you can't get on you're over we're oversold and like we have a

00:31:30.720 baby like we have children and they just they just wouldn't let us on the flight we were there

00:31:35.340 plenty of time and all the rest of it did and yeah i had to rent i had to rent a car to drive

00:31:42.800 home basically i'll just you know drive all the way back up 95 from florida because frontier

00:31:47.800 wouldn't let us on with a baby so i'm never going to forget that yeah no i i i flew last time i flew

00:31:53.980 frontier the one of the windows had like tape around it and i was like this feels like a

00:31:58.900 potential weak spot in the

00:32:00.820 why is there a tape around this?

00:32:02.800 It helped. Everything was fine.

00:32:04.540 As a man,

00:32:06.780 I have that male experience of sometimes wanting to

00:32:08.820 go and read historic plane disasters.

00:32:10.700 There was a flight from Hawaii once where they had

00:32:12.800 a vulnerable

00:32:14.040 window and they had an explosive

00:32:16.740 decompression and it literally did just, it

00:32:18.580 ejected like two rows of seats

00:32:20.520 and those people died and then no one else died

00:32:22.760 and they successfully landed, but it just

00:32:24.220 sucked a few seats out

00:32:26.600 and that was the end of them. Could have been you, Andrew.

00:32:28.700 but you missed out that would probably have been a peak experience andrew you have to admit like

00:32:33.040 you would have died but it would have been really exciting before you died lasted i would have

00:32:36.460 enjoyed it for not enjoyed it i would have been terrified i i don't i'm not a good flyer as it is

00:32:41.280 by the way this is my fiance is not a good flyer either i'm a bad flyer uh i get through it i go i

00:32:47.000 get through it but i yeah that's the thing so actually that's why i took the red eye to philly

00:32:51.360 because at least i i slept through two-thirds of the flight which was pretty good for me i can't

00:32:56.320 sleep on most flights but red eyes i'm just so tired that i'm like okay caboose has a hot take

00:32:59.940 he says flying should be a luxury the the prole masses should not be allowed to fly in the sky

00:33:05.760 why you got to be like hassan piker yeah he's been they're being these elitists here i think

00:33:09.240 people should have access to air travel i think i think the ability to travel to distant places

00:33:14.060 at a cheap price is good is exactly why america is getting overrun with and it's good that we have

00:33:19.920 affordable options like spirit airlines which you can choose to not fly on i get i also find it

00:33:25.820 weird when people get angry they say spirit's bad so you shouldn't so like it should go broke

00:33:30.400 just fly on delta if you want a nicer plane you're we're missing the whole big part of the problem

00:33:35.780 with your argument is that you think it's you think that the federal government should come

00:33:39.080 in and bail out a failing airline yeah we bail out a lot of business yeah why is he going out

00:33:45.620 question blake i would ideally not bail out any companies but me too you know we bailed out we

00:33:51.560 We bailed out Silicon Valley Bank because...

00:33:53.800 Which we disagreed with.

00:33:55.000 Yes, and we bailed out...

00:33:57.240 We were bailing out a lot of companies.

00:33:59.540 We're going to bail out all of them.

00:34:01.020 Government Motors.

00:34:01.640 $500 million for...

00:34:03.020 Remember we used to call GM Government Motors

00:34:05.040 after the bailout in 2000?

00:34:07.020 I mean, why would you bail out Spirit?

00:34:09.720 It's a terrible brand.

00:34:11.140 It's a terrible paint job.

00:34:12.440 It's bad service.

00:34:13.360 Let Frontier pick up the swag.

00:34:15.140 Yeah, let another airline buy up the assets.

00:34:17.880 It'll be fine.

00:34:18.580 Like, that's...

00:34:19.040 Yeah.

00:34:20.140 Blake's wrong.

00:34:20.580 what if hold on hold on if we're going to nationalize spirit what if we could say i

00:34:26.920 don't know put steven miller in charge of it and turn it into a deportation what if the federal

00:34:32.660 government bought up all the planes for the 500 million dollars pennies on the dollar and used

00:34:38.020 them as deportation planes that's a cool idea this is great or if they bailed them out if they bailed

00:34:43.720 them out and part of the deal was they had to supply flights for that that's a good idea oh

00:34:48.220 Or what if we spent the $500 million

00:34:49.840 and we used it as a bribe

00:34:51.480 to have Ryanair expand into America?

00:34:54.800 Ooh.

00:34:55.640 Yeah, why don't we have Ryanair?

00:34:56.800 I guess there's, like, regulations and stuff.

00:34:58.400 Maybe regulations.

00:34:59.220 I think also probably average flight distance

00:35:01.000 in the U.S. is longer.

00:35:02.320 In Europe, they can have all those profitable things

00:35:04.380 where you hop from London to Paris

00:35:06.640 for a 25-minute flight.

00:35:08.060 Yeah, I feel like the whole game with Ryanair

00:35:09.720 when you're in Europe is you just, like,

00:35:11.200 you get on, you Google, like,

00:35:12.860 because they tell you,

00:35:13.760 you could get a cheap deal.

00:35:14.880 They actually, you don't have to go hunting for it.

00:35:17.140 they show you what you can get a hot deal on you're like i wasn't planning on going to frankfurt

00:35:21.440 today but why yeah when i when then you realize you fly into frankfurt it's like an hour and a

00:35:26.420 half outside when my cousin joined the convent we flew from naples to palermo and it was just

00:35:31.380 because right it was well it was part of the trip but but it was 25 yeah so i um i agree i think

00:35:38.300 that's really fun that's a fun part about europe that we can't really match but it's probably to

00:35:43.940 your point probably like the distance between worthwhile airports is pretty far the one thing

00:35:48.880 with Ryanair though in Europe is that you have to really look at the airport you're flying into

00:35:52.420 and then google the travel because like it'll tell you can go to London but it's like what is it

00:35:56.800 Gatwick there's one other one there's uh London oh yeah there's Gatwick and Luton is it Luton

00:36:03.520 I thought it was uh yeah it's like London Hanstead or so so I'll have to look at it he throws the

00:36:08.540 main one he throws the main one but they don't fly into heat that's my point I'm already saying

00:36:12.100 there's like these these like Ryanair uses like the other ones Gatwick London Gatwick so it'll

00:36:17.080 oh and Stansted yeah London Stansted Lutton yeah you're right so so the Stansted and Gatwick are

00:36:22.740 like really far out so you're flying to London he throws kind of far out too because I was studying

00:36:27.940 in Spain and so I would go on to like the Seville airport I would try you know take a train up there

00:36:33.140 and then it would be like where can I go and it would oftentimes London would be one of the

00:36:37.180 options because it's a major area but then you go to Gatwick or Stansted and you you're you're

00:36:41.740 like three hours outside of london somehow that's how they get away with it so speaking of london

00:36:48.020 we could go to the next topic if we want all right let's do that or we could or we could dwell on the

00:36:51.760 spirit question are we going to banning flags oh it's not flags yeah we're talking about something

00:36:58.220 else so the british government the brits in its great wisdom is banning fags for those born after

00:37:05.280 the year 2008 cigarettes everybody yes yes indeed yes we should explain that so in british slang

00:37:12.340 that does that word does refer to cigarettes and the british government kind of came out of nowhere

00:37:17.940 and in britain what they are doing is they are banning smoking but they're not just banning it

00:37:24.460 for everyone in true boomer fashion sorry to all you boomers out there but this is definitely a

00:37:29.700 boomer move if i ever saw one they are allowing older people to continue smoking but anyone

00:37:35.260 born 2009 or onwards they'll have a steadily escalating ban basically if you're becoming an

00:37:41.340 adult right now you can never ever buy a cigarette it's and they're going to raise the minimum age

00:37:47.680 for buying them by one year every year thought about this so like at some point you know if

00:37:52.960 you're like a 60 year old you'll be like give me a pack of smokes and they'll be like nope

00:37:57.900 it's 61 and over only yeah do you think they'll they'll still be like some random places to sell

00:38:03.600 but this doesn't this is an account for like shoulder tapping right at least in the short

00:38:08.480 term right like hey you're a year older than me you were born in 2008 so you go ahead and

00:38:13.520 give me the back this is britain so britain's really authoritarian so they're the kind of

00:38:17.760 country that would in this future you envision probably do things like i'm really distracted

00:38:23.160 because they're showing yugioh i'm really distracted we have a we have a tv set up here

00:38:28.360 and it's showing an episode of yugioh for some reason sorry total loss of trade of thought

00:38:32.020 Britain is an authoritarian enough country

00:38:34.240 that what Britain would do is

00:38:36.240 they will have a network

00:38:38.280 of cameras everywhere, which they already have,

00:38:40.360 just total panopticon,

00:38:42.580 and they will use AI

00:38:43.660 to detect you if you are engaging

00:38:46.040 in that behavior of having someone

00:38:47.740 buy the cigarettes for you, give them to you,

00:38:50.380 and then they will send in their

00:38:52.040 hijab-wearing Gestapo police to kick

00:38:54.220 in your door and say that you didn't have a license

00:38:56.460 for those cigarettes, and they're going to

00:38:58.080 fine you 50 pounds,

00:39:00.360 which because britain is an impoverished country poorer than mississippi would be like 70 percent

00:39:04.800 of your real news is the fact that the uk if it was our 51st state would be the poorest state in

00:39:09.500 the union by a mile too but not even close that's wild it's incredible and they're like we treat

00:39:14.140 them like a proper country they polled the british and they thought the british people thought they

00:39:17.980 would be the seventh richest state they're completely full of it they're delulu delulu

00:39:22.100 but is that is that with gdp crap per capita or is that with purchasing power i can't imagine

00:39:28.780 purchasing power in the uk is any better where you can pay four thousand dollars for a like what

00:39:33.880 500 square foot flat let's see what let's see uh i'm just saying like let's let's compare apples

00:39:40.060 to apples britain would be poorest state in u.s mississippi governor responds with vicious one

00:39:46.020 liner like i have to imagine purchasing power parity just makes things worse for britain you

00:39:50.640 go to britain and it's like eight pounds for a sandwich which would be thirteen dollars here

00:39:55.700 basically oh yeah for sure we'd be in the top 10 maybe top 5 on a good date nah 51st like compare

00:40:02.540 mississippi to britain and mississippi i bet you could buy a 4 000 square foot house for 450k this

00:40:10.540 is funny so governor tate reeves the one-liner i want to put this up on uh up on uh the screen

00:40:18.860 for yeah you're right it's actually still over with purchasing power he goes as we say in mississippi

00:40:23.560 40 50 percent higher yeah so it's so the governor's reply to this guy goes if the uk joined the u.s as

00:40:30.740 the 51st state we'd be the poorest state in the entire union mississippi which is portrayed as

00:40:34.480 swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us i don't think

00:40:38.900 people grasp how far we've fallen in real terms so tate reeves goes as we say in mississippi

00:40:43.760 bless your heart or as you say in the uk assalamualaikum yeah yeah but you know what though

00:40:50.680 I'm going to push back a little bit on that because GDP in general isn't a good measure

00:40:58.200 of median household income. It's like a measure of a bucket of all companies and all things in

00:41:06.460 your economy. So just because the GDP is doing well, it's like stock market is going up. So

00:41:12.140 that means that everybody's got money in their pocket, but it's not true because you're averaging

00:41:15.940 in uh corporate earnings along with individual families and individual family earnings that's

00:41:21.440 why like gdp just in general isn't the best measure for something like this like you want

00:41:25.720 to look i'd want to look at median household income a couple other different things before

00:41:29.020 we actually like like crap on them well it is what it is and i i do think that that's a it's

00:41:37.360 one measure i agree like is he for example i lived in spain in college i already brought this up for

00:41:43.120 a semester a little bit longer it was like i think seven eight months and i think it was 19

00:41:49.160 percent they call it a start and paddle which just meant unemployed like living off the door

00:41:53.340 living off the dole and i would say the quality of life even for the people that were not working

00:41:58.660 in the south of spain it was like hugely high unemployment rate but the quality of life was

00:42:03.700 still pretty high they complained about it they were upset about it but it was they all got by

00:42:09.180 and they just sat at their bars and drank

00:42:11.160 and smoked cigarettes and

00:42:12.360 walked around,

00:42:15.120 hung out in the plazas.

00:42:16.500 It's a life.

00:42:18.740 It's a decaying life.

00:42:20.560 Eventually the money runs it.

00:42:22.900 The boomer supremacy in Europe

00:42:24.860 is actually way more extreme

00:42:26.340 than in the US.

00:42:27.980 Now they're going to be able to smoke cigarettes.

00:42:28.760 Without alienating some of our audience,

00:42:31.580 explain what you mean by boomer supremacy.

00:42:34.760 Everything revolving around the priorities

00:42:37.000 of pensioners to the exclusion of it.

00:42:38.780 pensioners, what they would call retirees, much more

00:42:40.820 extreme. Like in France, the average

00:42:42.980 it's gotten so bad where the average

00:42:45.100 retiree's pension from

00:42:46.840 the government is actually above the

00:42:48.840 average income of working people.

00:42:51.000 And they haven't adjusted that. Which is not how

00:42:52.820 it is. In the US, wealthy people have good net

00:42:54.860 worths, but your social security payment

00:42:56.920 is not above the median income of the United

00:42:58.900 States. That actually is the case in France.

00:43:00.640 Is this why Europe is allowing what's

00:43:02.780 happening in 48?

00:43:05.720 Number 48?

00:43:07.080 Play it.

00:43:08.780 oh they must be still loading it let me know when you have it this is important oh there oh not

00:43:16.520 loaded i saw it in the chat usually when they say it it's loaded so there's been a big thing on the

00:43:22.540 online because okay so you just said that in france the average pensioner is making more than

00:43:30.360 the median average medium income in france and part of that is birth rate so maybe this is why

00:43:36.200 they are allowing what's happening in 48

00:43:38.100 to transpire

00:43:39.660 because they're backfilling

00:43:41.220 the uh oh it broke

00:43:44.140 oh well but anyway

00:43:45.640 anyways it's uh but what's funny is that is

00:43:48.160 that is the justification the justification

00:43:50.000 for it is oh we need all these people to pay our

00:43:51.980 pensions which are out of control but it doesn't work

00:43:53.880 because actually a lot of these people just don't work

00:43:56.120 and they are themselves just

00:43:57.660 making the system worse and worse

00:43:59.980 but britain has a very funny one

00:44:01.760 in britain they have a thing called the triple lock

00:44:03.920 and it is politically

00:44:05.940 impossible to ever change the triple lock you ever heard of this yeah i have yeah i don't remember

00:44:10.740 exactly so the triple lock is by law in britain they have to raise the amount that of pension

00:44:16.240 that's paid out to a person each year and it has to go by either the rate of inflation as they

00:44:22.300 calculate it some sort of uh i believe the average like wage in the country is basically one of three

00:44:29.300 things actually i should just check what it is the triple lock uh it is one of the measures it's

00:44:36.520 either inflation average earnings based on the average earnings in the country or two and a half

00:44:40.980 percent whichever is basically produces the highest increase and so if even if there's no

00:44:48.280 inflation even if there's no increase in cost of living even if they're in a recession basically

00:44:51.900 you still get a two and a half percent increase and but if it's above two and a half percent in

00:44:56.460 terms of inflation it'll go up to that one this guarantees it is a mathematical certainty it is a

00:45:01.080 mathematical law of the universe this will eventually cause them to go broke so can't

00:45:05.060 get rid of it yeah so you know it's interesting and that's crazy that i didn't know that they'd

00:45:09.100 worked i mean especially with their zero growth that they have over there but i remember i don't

00:45:14.020 know why this keeps coming up today but i remember i was uh traveling when i was living in spain we

00:45:17.700 were in portugal and we went to get some food and we're sitting at this cafe and this homeless

00:45:23.620 brit he was homeless but he had been living in portugal because it was warmer i guess

00:45:28.220 he was homeless his clothes are all tattered and he was sitting there and he was having a beer at

00:45:32.920 like i don't know 10 a.m and we somehow get into this conversation with this guy and he was over

00:45:38.440 the moon because he said tomorrow is the day that i qualify for my british pension and i won't have

00:45:45.300 to live this way anymore and i was like so like how long has it been since you lived in england

00:45:50.000 he's like oh about 18 years so the guy hadn't been paying into the system for 18 years but he

00:45:53.920 was going to get locked into his british pension even though he's living in portugal as a homeless

00:45:57.520 guy if you look at the rhetoric in in britain and similar countries it is genuinely depressing

00:46:02.020 like the national ideology of britain like they're defining reason to exist as a country

00:46:06.960 if you even listen to their actual government ministers is basically we don't have america's

00:46:11.560 health care system i'm not even making this up gordon brown their prime minister once suggested

00:46:16.880 we should have a national day like other countries do because they don't have an

00:46:19.480 independence day or anything what should we use and his idea was how about the day where we set

00:46:23.880 up the nhs our defining existence of the country is we have a public health care system and then

00:46:30.820 yeah their pension system everything revolves around this it's very it truly is it's anti

00:46:35.800 achievement it's anti greatness it's very much uh i want to maximize the amount i can sponge

00:46:42.940 off of the government you sound like you're just like very pro-social murder by capitalism perhaps

00:46:48.640 pigs i mean when britain was doing a lot of social murder they were achieving a lot of other things

00:46:53.300 social murder social murder talk about that real quick maybe but how do we actually feel

00:47:00.020 no definitely actually because andrew just brought it up i did it's crazy no i told it's it's frederick

00:47:06.320 ingalls from the 1800s and hassan park piker's sitting there he just read a book for the first

00:47:11.200 time or something and he starts you know waxing poetic with the new york times who just nods along

00:47:16.640 like oh social murder yeah luigi magioni cool really sick stuff but go ahead go ahead uh we

00:47:23.280 we uh riffed on it this morning so it's your turn jack no i mean it just goes to show you right that

00:47:29.780 that these guys the same way you saw how these guys reacted when charlie was shot it's the same

00:47:35.660 way that they're up there talking about how oh well you know actually this guy deserved it and

00:47:42.380 And I can understand why, because he committed social murder.

00:47:45.760 We're talking about, so Asam Piker was up there justifying the murder of the United

00:47:52.180 Health Care CEO, Brian Thompson, because he was saying that the refusal to fund the health

00:47:59.760 care or health needs of the people of his service, claims, et cetera, amounted to something

00:48:05.940 called social murder.

00:48:07.980 and because he had committed social murder again in in without any like trial or evidence or

00:48:13.720 anything um it was okay then and justified for luigi maggione to uh shoot him in the street

00:48:19.960 and and we already know by the way and and blake you might be more up on this than me but i believe

00:48:25.460 a number of the charges have been dropped from luigi maggione right

00:48:29.540 uh i haven't followed it well they can't get a death penalty on him anymore

00:48:33.600 yeah i don't know they dropped charges already yeah it just it can't be death penalty federal

00:48:37.740 or state so right which is i mean it's crazy they're already like losing multiple levels

00:48:43.900 of charges on this guy because he again did this in a blue district and the blue judges are just

00:48:51.060 totally okay with it and they've got a ton of supporters running around and remember they were

00:48:56.500 selling the luigi merchandise there was a luigi musical which i believe debuted in san francisco

00:49:01.580 and is now coming to new york city taylor wrens talked about how uh you know he was dreamy and

00:49:07.120 she was in his fan club and all the rest of this and so it just remains to be seen these bolsheviks

00:49:12.040 will kill us all they are very happy about it that's why i've talked about you know oh the

00:49:17.280 infighting oh everyone wants to play this infighting game and it's like no these guys

00:49:21.700 literally want to kill us they um you know they already murdered the guy who used to co-host this

00:49:27.260 show and they will go to the new york times and talk about social murder and how it was a good

00:49:32.840 thing and they'll keep going they will keep going and they will not stop going until they've been

00:49:37.220 stopped yeah and it comes from angles who was the collaborator for carl marx so that's just

00:49:42.540 hassan piker saying yeah i'm a communist and by the way the communists killed you know over 100

00:49:46.960 million people in the 20th century doing stuff like this so yeah if we need and it needed anything

00:49:52.700 else to show that he was a communist totally yeah they will rationalize any type of like

00:49:58.240 violence if they think it's you know if they've got a moral framework upon which you know however

00:50:04.260 shaky or feeble or dumb they will they will commit murder based upon that moral framework

00:50:10.020 that's why we need jesus dear lord all right tattoos oh boy all right because i looked at

00:50:15.840 russ all of a sudden russ got into the talk and i was like okay you're getting the shakes because

00:50:18.960 he's got we have to get so we didn't promise this so this is all prompted there's been a

00:50:24.380 there's a secondary so this all this all blew up because there's a background news story pete

00:50:29.120 davidson who i'm told is a famous person he's younger than me he is a comedian who dates hot

00:50:35.620 women is he funny like is he he's a comedian he's an snl okay a lot of people are comedians though

00:50:41.360 no so here's the thing i i remember having the same exact conversation with my wife and a bunch

00:50:47.280 of her friends and they do not think he's attractive to be fair but their whole thing was

00:50:52.400 he's got a thing he's got something that's fair i guess that's that's the that's anyway pete

00:50:59.340 davidson is a comedian just like dave smith i guess and then anyway he's he's a comedian and

00:51:06.180 he had a gazillion tattoos over 200 i believe but recently he has been getting them all lasered off

00:51:13.420 to the extent it's possible it's pretty tough to fully remove yeah stuff to the extent he has

00:51:17.620 he's not 100 anti-tattoo he actually has a tattoo along his ear that's his daughter's name but he

00:51:24.100 also still has chest tattoos that are for his dad yeah so he's but he's pretty radically cut them

00:51:29.420 back uh it looks like he maybe got rid of his notorious rbg tattoo that he seems to have i'm

00:51:34.620 seeing in this picture he guess he got a ruth bader ginsburg tattoo uh they're all disappearing

00:51:39.600 and so this prompted a bigger debate which is are the tattoos bad or not should people be getting

00:51:46.680 them all right but there's so many good tattoos russ before tattoos 36

00:51:51.340 i don't know why i put myself on this tattoo acolyte russ is how many total tattoos i have

00:51:58.820 20 you have 20 all right so that's russ before that's russ that's me that wait hold on go to

00:52:04.280 so that's you yes so that's 2017 me that's uh what yeah so i am 21 22. okay so hilariously

00:52:16.840 enough about this this was my like beanie stage where i used to like have it on the back of my

00:52:22.440 head to keep like my hair up and that was also when i can you guys so we just see russ now and

00:52:27.760 that picture can we yeah can we do that holy cow russ because i've never seen your chin i mean

00:52:34.840 yeah uh neither no i got it can we do side like enlarge it yeah side to side the the podcast is

00:52:41.740 gonna really miss out on this we recommend yeah i'm sorry podcast this is like you just gotta

00:52:45.820 watch it oh gosh uh don't look at me yeah i don't know why i think we've spun i think we've we've

00:52:53.360 messed up the the the studio we've russ's russ's yeah so this was all before so hilariously enough

00:52:59.880 uh when i got into college i started trying to grow facial hair uh the only thing i could grow

00:53:05.140 was a goatee so for a long way for yeah so for like four years all i had was a go teach blake

00:53:12.040 how to do that and then buddy and then that's when i started growing out the hair i started

00:53:16.420 growing out the beard i mean you're a good looking kid and then i started i started adding

00:53:20.520 tattoos actually the first tattoo i got was right after i graduated high school okay um

00:53:25.860 there it is there it is look straight ahead russ make that face oh yeah that's my normal smile

00:53:33.400 what what was the first tattoo uh it's it was on my wrist i've covered it up since then but it said

00:53:39.660 relax oh so you're anti-relaxing now uh no it was mainly because my parents used it against me

00:53:46.560 you only have 20 so this is i only have 20 i feel like we're getting a message here which is

00:53:52.360 you got a tattoo wait wait wait you later came to regret your hand you got like multiple letters

00:53:58.100 yes you consider those as one so i mean 20 sessions i consider them as like so i have live free

00:54:06.160 died well uh i count live free and i i count the words as one tattoo all right and then

00:54:14.920 don't go gentle

00:54:16.520 and then I got more hands

00:54:18.220 I just finished this hand

00:54:19.520 finally so

00:54:20.240 the hands gotta hurt though

00:54:21.840 cause the bones are tight

00:54:22.720 close to the

00:54:23.180 um

00:54:23.620 honestly the thing that hurt the most

00:54:26.100 was getting closer to the palm

00:54:27.400 oh interesting

00:54:28.300 uh that's what hurt

00:54:29.500 there's one of our staff

00:54:30.460 that had a tattoo

00:54:31.240 on the rib cage

00:54:32.680 rib cage is supposed to hurt

00:54:34.500 yeah chicks do that a lot now

00:54:35.880 I said

00:54:36.640 I said did you

00:54:37.420 do you regret that one

00:54:38.400 and the answer was yes

00:54:39.640 cause the rib cage it hurt

00:54:40.600 so

00:54:41.180 was that a girl

00:54:41.880 I would rather just

00:54:43.800 yeah i mean yeah yes yeah well so as first of all the number of people with tattoos has gone up

00:54:52.160 we're getting very close to the point where a majority of people under 40 are going to have a

00:54:57.180 tattoo the majority of women under 40 already have one in fact it's like 56 for women under 30 have

00:55:04.660 at least one tattoo so you are now actually the rebel if you don't have one but hold on this is

00:55:10.360 kind of like it's the green head pledge no but and by the way i have zero tattoos but i will tell

00:55:17.700 you that some girls have i guess you would say more tasteful right what what and apologies to

00:55:23.240 anybody in the audience that has this but like where i get kind of like it's the tattoos like

00:55:28.100 on the back of the calf like a huge one on the back of a calf on the thigh i think this is

00:55:32.920 lighting the point andrew's getting at is that um girls don't know how to get tattoos and girls

00:55:39.940 always have like bad tattoos it looks like when you have like a toddler with a little stamp toy

00:55:44.600 and it's just like blip blip blip blip blip blip like all over the place there's a style that's

00:55:50.120 kind of called a style like subtle and those tattoos just look like that with a toddler with

00:55:56.100 the baby stamp and just like stamping all over in random places that don't look aesthetic and

00:56:00.500 it looks terrible yeah it's definitely definitely placement is a big is a is a key thing you know

00:56:06.080 what's interesting is that the tramp stamp became a thing but there must have been a time before the

00:56:11.920 tramp stamp became like a became like a cliche cultural thing where dudes were getting them in

00:56:17.340 the small of their backs too there's some dudes walking around with tramp stamps there's got to

00:56:22.180 be because before he goes out yeah exactly i mean i'm so i'm just my point of view so let's remind

00:56:28.580 people what the Greerhead Pledge was, because we debated

00:56:30.500 this back when, we

00:56:32.300 debated this with Charlie almost three years ago

00:56:34.560 now. The Greerhead Pledge is from

00:56:36.560 a guy, Scott Greer. He's a blogger on Substack

00:56:38.740 writer. He's in some other magazines.

00:56:40.600 I think he gets, he's in the American Conservative sometimes.

00:56:43.100 But he calls it

00:56:44.000 the Greerhead Pledge, because his fans are called Greerheads,

00:56:46.620 and it's four things to sort of

00:56:48.060 fight against the

00:56:49.800 cultural and aesthetic decay

00:56:52.620 of America in modern

00:56:54.720 times. The third worlding of America.

00:56:56.620 And the four planks of it are,

00:56:58.020 you take it as a pledge so i will not smoke weed i will not watch a marvel movie i will not listen

00:57:04.700 to rap music and then this is the newest point because it used to be uh i will not watch the

00:57:09.520 nfl i believe but that was a little too extreme and he said that the nfl did have good aspects

00:57:14.460 like there's bad stuff in the nfl but it's not no it's not a it's not a huge corruption influence

00:57:18.900 so he replaced it with i will not get a tattoo and he has he has a pretty good argument for it

00:57:26.440 which is basically that tattoos are spreading beyond the traditional groups

00:57:31.800 and beyond the acceptable parts of the body.

00:57:34.080 Once upon a time, only bikers and ex-cons had tattoos.

00:57:38.320 Now you see them on baristas and on sales managers.

00:57:41.380 It used to be only men got tattoos.

00:57:43.040 Now a majority of women under 40 have tats.

00:57:45.920 People used to cover up their tattoos when they were out in public,

00:57:48.760 and only prison gang members would show off full-body tats all over the place.

00:57:52.720 Now you see face, neck tattoos all over the place, out in the street.

00:57:56.440 and tattoos, this is Scott's writing this, tattoos have turned into an epidemic of ugliness.

00:58:03.260 Publicly visible tattoos symbolize the vulgarization that is eating away at our

00:58:09.180 civilization, and they tarnish the appearance of a person bearing one. And that is why the pledge is,

00:58:15.140 I will not get a tattoo. Russ, your response? I guess I'm responsible for the degradation of

00:58:22.480 society the vulgarization he says imagine the world without weed without rap without marvel

00:58:28.380 movies and without tattoos it's the world we want and taking a step towards that world

00:58:33.620 begins at the individual it's true i do actually believe in that last sentence but then i know

00:58:39.180 people like russ and i'm like well it's all right that he has them i mean that's how i feel because

00:58:43.840 i have a personal i'm not anti-russ but i think i think russ i think i think you would be better

00:58:48.420 without tattoos i'm just gonna be uh so actually uh one of the reasons actually that i i've wanted

00:58:54.960 tattoos since i saw tattoos since the first i don't even remember the first movie that i watched

00:58:59.820 that had somebody with a tattoo but i remember being young and wanting tattoos and it was funny

00:59:06.620 and when i finally did get um the eagle and then the this heart it was one of those that's like a

00:59:17.840 human heart pumping blood it's not like for for the it's it has so i've got i got i got aragorn i

00:59:23.180 got narsil q ah they didn't know they don't know lord of the rings lord uh so i got yeah there it

00:59:32.040 is so i got narsil through the sword and there's a uh lock there's a keyhole yeah um and it actually

00:59:40.520 it just kind of describes a lot of my personal journey a lot of most of my tattoos especially

00:59:46.540 on this arm um are kind of my um value set almost or something it's it's it's my story it's it's

00:59:56.900 kind of where where my journey has led and it's also um i mean this clock is matthew uh

01:00:04.140 talks about um the sparrows when um jesus is like look at the sparrows i take care of them

01:00:12.460 and that's uh having being somebody who's had anxiety and that kind of stuff

01:00:19.120 that was that was a very big scripture for me all right well uh yeah jack do you do you uh do

01:00:25.860 you judge people with tattoos are you a career head when it comes to the pledge um i don't judge

01:00:31.780 people you're a navy guy so you can't do as much as i used to um yeah i think i'm the only guy

01:00:39.660 who's ever gone through the navy without um having a drink or getting a tattoo so i've definitely

01:00:44.560 seen definitely seen a lot of it i mean yeah with again like sailors bikers like this is that that

01:00:50.280 was kind of like what tattoos were for in the past um you know i i i'm generally i'm generally

01:00:57.400 of the view though that like it's i mean i i just don't think they're aesthetic right i never have

01:01:04.180 i think you know why do you why put a bumper sticker on a ferrari you know i'm saying like

01:01:08.700 like if you want to you want to are you the ferrari in this instance um so wait it's just

01:01:15.000 true like if you see here's what i'm gonna say here right now all right all right i see my

01:01:18.820 beautiful wife i see tiny tay and i and i think she's absolutely gorgeous she's perfect and i

01:01:25.080 think like what would a tattoo do to that appearance and it's like it would ruin it for

01:01:30.460 me because it's like she looks gorgeous i will say like when you want there you know there are

01:01:35.080 models and such who have tattoos but when they want them to look maximally hot they are airbrushing

01:01:40.440 out those tattoos yeah every time what about pete hegseth 37 yes yes base 37 yeah it's just photos

01:01:54.140 i'll take a little weird one i'll be frank well because he's got the chest well his face is weird

01:01:58.580 i'll be frank i don't like it i think i i will put it this way there's a reason there's never

01:02:04.060 been a u.s president with a visible tattoo there's a reason there's never been a king of england with

01:02:09.080 at least blake would you rather have a girl who's been with 10 guys or has or has 10 tattoos well i

01:02:17.660 think there's going to be a correlation there but no it's the same girl it's well known at that

01:02:23.860 i'll be frank this is a big reason like a big reason guys will like kind of like tattoos is

01:02:30.300 the perception is that a woman who gets tattoos is easier that is the perception 100 okay but go

01:02:36.000 with his his hypothetical i mean he's making a fairly good point uh 10 tattoos zero men 10 men

01:02:44.160 zero tattoos you got to pick one or the other i mean probably the zero men one but again in real

01:02:49.220 life they correlate and also always and the point is is they both they both lower attractiveness

01:02:53.880 which is why we're making the comparison that is true that is true all right i think also i also

01:03:01.200 would notice i also note that uh that uh it's kind of kind of interesting how you know when

01:03:07.140 it comes to you know when it comes to iconography when it comes to tattoos suddenly everybody loves

01:03:12.500 the catholic iconography when they want to get tattoos i mean fair but i'm also like i like the

01:03:19.320 crusades what would process yes yeah i know they're catholic someone gets yeah i get all

01:03:28.660 all the based all the bait like saint michael the archangel yeah because it's also based in

01:03:36.280 history i will just know there is there is an explicit in the bible that's also don't get

01:03:42.220 tattooed it is it's good art like that's that gets back to the point of like one of the greatest

01:03:48.600 things that

01:03:50.160 the Catholic Church produced

01:03:52.660 throughout the

01:03:54.580 Middle Ages was the iconography

01:03:56.520 and the art, and that's

01:03:58.500 where we gained, as a society,

01:04:00.640 we gained a lot of our value.

01:04:02.560 So are you trying to tell me that the Protestants

01:04:04.320 couldn't have done the Sistine Chapel?

01:04:06.340 Actually, as a Protestant, I agree.

01:04:08.220 I don't think they could have. Where's the Protestant

01:04:10.360 Sistine Chapel? I don't think they could. Where's the Catholic

01:04:12.560 Sistine Chapel since the Sistine Chapel?

01:04:14.600 But that's fine, too.

01:04:16.060 Sagrada Familia, that's pretty good.

01:04:17.200 All I'm saying is

01:04:20.520 If Catholic churches

01:04:23.020 Can have iconography

01:04:24.660 And can have art

01:04:26.660 On the ceilings

01:04:28.280 I can have art

01:04:30.440 And iconography on my body

01:04:33.140 Okay, go to the Bible verse

01:04:35.020 Alright, let's go

01:04:36.100 Let's see, what is it?

01:04:38.220 Bible, tattoos

01:04:40.020 Isn't it like Orthodox Jewish cemeteries?

01:04:42.520 It's Leviticus 1928

01:04:44.480 Do not cut your bodies for the dead

01:04:46.740 or put tattoo marks on yourself.

01:04:49.720 I am the Lord.

01:04:50.620 Wait, hold on.

01:04:53.480 What was the first part?

01:04:54.960 Do not cut your bodies for the dead.

01:04:57.620 I think that would be maybe a method of mourning

01:04:59.440 is like you'd make yourself bleed.

01:05:00.700 But it says that or put tattoo marks upon yourself.

01:05:04.880 It doesn't say just do the former.

01:05:06.340 It doesn't say that end.

01:05:07.480 It says don't do that or tattoo.

01:05:09.260 It was saying don't get tattoos of the dead

01:05:11.560 or is it saying don't get tattoos at all?

01:05:13.700 It just says, do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves.

01:05:20.620 And at the least, I will note, Orthodox Jews, known for their pretty rigid adherence to these Old Testament laws, do not allow tattoos.

01:05:28.080 I think you can't even be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you have them.

01:05:31.200 Orthodox Jews also don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

01:05:34.120 Did you know Isaiah 44, 5?

01:05:36.520 That's true, they do not.

01:05:37.240 It says, one will say, I am the Lord's, and another will write, even brand or tattoo, upon his hand, I am the Lord's.

01:05:43.700 let's see uh the thing about leviticus is a 49 it says god has a picture of you tattooed on the

01:05:54.040 palm of his hand the thing about leviticus is that it doesn't say that god's not allowed to

01:05:57.680 tattoo it says you are god's gonna do what he wants yeah god can do a lot of things god can

01:06:02.800 say he's god you can't say you're god so but we're talking about if this was ceremonial uh laws there

01:06:08.020 are different categories of laws some oh here we go oh what oh yeah this is this is getting deep

01:06:14.420 into the biblical exegesis i'm just saying there are categories some are legal some are spiritual

01:06:21.220 some are ceremonial some are have to do with civil governance right so depending on the type

01:06:28.320 of law that we're talking about they may or may not have a application to matthew matthew 5 17

01:06:34.360 says do not think that i have come to abolish the law or the prophets i have not come to abolish

01:06:38.840 them i have come to fulfill them so jesus is the fulfillment of old testament law which amen

01:06:44.840 covenantal theology baby which then negates the need for the levitical laws and being that they

01:06:53.100 were ceremonial being also that if we look back at the time period of the israelites they were

01:06:59.040 dealing with a, uh, nation of the Canaanites that was extremely pagan. And so they were doing blood

01:07:06.880 sacrifices. They were doing blood rituals. Yeah. Overtly pagan. They were overtly pagan. Uh,

01:07:15.200 and so that, that obviously God was writing a law to the Israelites who had just come out of Egypt,

01:07:22.120 who didn't have a set framework.

01:07:24.840 Because again, this is a body of people

01:07:29.000 that just spent how many centuries being slaves

01:07:32.680 and being under the oppression of the Egyptians.

01:07:34.900 So they come out of that.

01:07:37.240 They don't have any idea or any ideology

01:07:41.420 of what their society is supposed to be.

01:07:44.500 Guys, I'm checking the whole chapter from Leviticus

01:07:47.440 that the tattoo line comes from.

01:07:49.800 and i feel like the immediate follow-up verse right after that do not put tattoo marks on

01:07:55.420 yourselves might be related it says do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute or the

01:08:00.940 land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness this is what guru was trying to get at

01:08:07.300 but he just didn't say it succinctly observe my sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary

01:08:11.560 i am the lord you know what you know speaking of egypt though that actually reminds me of something

01:08:15.260 that one of uh one cool group that does have tattoos is the coptic christians in egypt so

01:08:22.400 christians um particularly i think when they're kind of young i don't know i don't know how old

01:08:27.840 exactly but they will get a cross tattooed right on the inside and they all have it and even though

01:08:33.900 they live in muslim areas where the muslims have been like i mean as you can imagine just horrific

01:08:39.240 in terms of persecution and slaughter of the christians that cop the christians in egypt and

01:08:46.080 across the middle east will get that cross tattoo so i'm like can't be against that like that's

01:08:50.560 pretty based well i mean listen i'll just say i don't have a moral obligation for it because i do

01:08:56.120 think it was a ceremonial law that i would put i would chalk that tattoo thing up to i don't think

01:09:01.280 it's a moral law and i would say that there is you need to guard against legalism i don't like

01:09:07.480 tattoos personally in most situations because i find them to be aesthetically displeasing

01:09:11.960 when i meet russ who's sort of like the whole mo fits it like doesn't i have zero problem with it

01:09:18.600 i i can tolerate that i don't i i i find it fun to bring that up but i don't know if i would

01:09:22.740 consider it immoral necessarily but i my main thing is yeah i kind of go with scott's sense

01:09:27.800 that i think it's generally ugly to have tattoos everywhere i think a lot of people end up getting

01:09:33.120 tattoos they regret i think they get tattoos that age badly i think it goes i think in general i

01:09:39.900 think women are just more attractive without tattoos and so to the extent it's good to be

01:09:44.100 attractive it's good to be beautiful chat says do does the chat like tattoos it's divided it is

01:09:50.580 very divided it is very divided what i will say i'll can i tell you a story about about real quick

01:09:55.840 just uh tiny on tiny today again so i like having no tattoos was a big like that was like a hard no

01:10:01.620 for me um with uh you know back when i was single and it was like it was like no tats no no smoking

01:10:14.200 bit of drinking and uh but you know i prefer a non-drinker but i was like you know like just in

01:10:19.680 today's day and age you can't you know you can't get everything right so uh even though i did um

01:12:00.200 marry me yeah she had a tattoo i would have stopped talking to her here's what i will say

01:12:03.940 just straight up yeah okay here's what i will say about i respect that having tattoos and about

01:12:11.600 my kind of journey through getting tattoos.

01:12:14.440 One, I think

01:12:15.980 you need to have, your brain

01:12:18.160 needs to be fully developed.

01:12:20.340 You were 21 when you got married.

01:12:22.120 Yeah, true.

01:12:23.940 But I had thought about tattoos a lot.

01:12:26.500 So here's the thing.

01:12:28.020 Before your brain was developed.

01:12:30.360 Heroin addicts think about heroin a lot.

01:12:32.240 So I got

01:12:33.880 one tattoo.

01:12:35.840 My parents were like, hey,

01:12:37.860 any more.

01:12:38.760 and you're you're cut off they were like we're like while you're in college anything anything

01:12:46.620 you're cut off i said okay sounds good i didn't get any tattoos through college and then when i

01:12:53.240 got out of college because i was on my own i was making my own money i was doing my own stuff

01:12:57.500 i started i that's when i started getting tattoos so i had planned out like i planned out all this

01:13:04.480 this sleeve throughout all of college and then also then systematically as i started getting

01:13:11.200 tattoos i started to make sure that that was something i wanted to get and so then i can

01:13:17.440 and then that's when i continued to do it so i didn't get tattoos because i graduated in 20

01:13:22.420 uh 2020 so i didn't get tattoos until 20 2020 i mean this is all really well and good russ but

01:13:29.900 uh and i'm getting more so it sounds like a whole bunch of cope no i'm just kidding

01:13:34.460 do you just have wait are your tattoos just arms or do you have like chest back and i've got i've

01:13:40.740 got two yeah yeah yeah this one on my neck i got one behind my ear i've got the arms i have uh one

01:13:48.780 on my chest and then i have another full sleeve planned and a back oh you're gonna get the are

01:13:53.680 are you going to get the full sleeve where it's yeah that it's one like machine gun kelly 41 oh

01:13:59.780 gosh oh no i'm not blacking out oh i'm not i'm not doing blackout work that's for dang sure

01:14:06.780 that's so my my brother um so he was covered in tattoos and then on top of it yeah yeah yeah so

01:14:15.200 my brother's got two tattoos on his back uh one that he got in philly and then the other one kind

01:14:20.560 of interesting he got done in jerusalem when we were there and they have this place where you go

01:14:27.860 and it's basically they say that they have all of these um you know uh like tracings of tattoos

01:14:34.700 that they claim are from like thousands oh yes the jerusalem place i want to go there yeah yeah

01:14:40.700 it's like a famous place we're gonna think about the top of my head and and he got basically a

01:14:45.020 crusader tattoo on his back in jerusalem in the same place that supposedly again like caveat caveat

01:14:52.640 etc you know that a lot of the actual crusaders got tattoos well that's really cool and all but

01:14:59.700 it's not as cool as this back tattoo top 40 it's so good it's so good oh this just gets that as

01:15:11.560 as admirable as that is you're gonna go back it's still gonna age badly and i'm gonna end

01:15:16.880 with a piece of honest advice i would just note for any ladies out there who are listening all

01:15:20.760 five of you if in a survey i believe it was from britain i think 37 percent of men said their

01:15:26.220 number one turnoff from women was tattoos and i 100 believe that i think my my two my turnoffs

01:15:33.120 yet again tattoos smoking and drinking just not into it yeah me and my wife we don't have any so

01:15:39.000 what can i say i didn't do it out of like i did not get a tattoo out of some sort of you know

01:15:45.980 value set really it was just sort of i think it was just an instinct but i'm glad i have the

01:15:51.640 greer pledge now to structure and you know what at the end of the day one of my biggest supporters

01:15:56.480 every time i get a tattoo is erica so well i will say what's that i'm just saying that charlie

01:16:06.280 had no tattoos he was a bit of a tattoo basher i think there is like she also understands who

01:16:11.280 like how i how i am so there's also there's also sort of like uh there's kind of a thing where

01:16:16.360 if you're going to be a person that has a tattoo and you're a good guy like you

01:16:19.820 i'm not going to give you a hard time about it but i think is it there's the micro and the macro

01:16:24.820 right like the macro is we have we have preferences on the macro it's also personality i also don't

01:16:30.880 want to see the degradation of culture and it is kind of i think it's like the dmv go to disneyland

01:16:38.020 where everybody's wearing like shorts you can see all those like parents that should know better

01:16:42.020 with all their kids and they got tattoos all over and that i think that's what gets at you'll see

01:16:45.620 people say like this is more like totally out of control when people say like a certain tattoo is

01:16:49.720 classic they usually just mean it's less visible and i think that's getting at the truth of it

01:16:54.300 in most cases which is they don't look great for the most part well these things probably do go

01:17:00.540 trends though right they do which is also that's enough i mean that's definitely especially a

01:17:04.220 reason i'll be frank women should avoid them is they're more vulnerable to fads and trends and

01:17:09.480 it's a way of crystallizing and making largely indelible a trend you will you will probably

01:17:14.960 think is lamentable we had one of our comments in the live chat say apparently in 2016 every

01:17:19.600 other chick was getting an ohana tattoo because ohana means family oh and in what language uh

01:17:26.220 i don't know disney hawaiian i believe i think it's in lilo and stitch was it was it like a

01:17:32.320 was it like a yeah okay yeah moana the movie yeah you you get all these things that are just a very

01:17:38.360 transient fad except now they're emblazoned on your body for all time and you'll be explaining

01:17:45.460 them to people when you're 76 years old and going into you know a nursing home to be fair my when i

01:17:52.820 started looking at tattoos i was looking at like like all like bikers in the 70s i was looking at

01:17:58.980 you know all of the that kind of stuff so that's where that's where the thought process you pass

01:18:04.060 you're fine we accept you for who you are it's great uh jack we just accept you more

01:18:10.820 we would we would just like you more if you wait so wait uh i'm trying to think of any of these i

01:18:17.840 I think Tom Hardy.

01:18:19.100 Yeah.

01:18:20.580 I feel like he would have maybe been a guy that I.

01:18:24.940 Yes, sir.

01:18:25.920 I don't know.

01:18:27.080 Yes, sir.

01:18:36.160 Pretty hardcore film.

01:18:37.420 So good.

01:18:37.920 It's not for young people.

01:18:38.700 Tom Hardy is hardcore.

01:18:40.280 Or he plays hardcore characters.

01:18:41.600 He was really good in that.

01:18:42.240 That's for sure.

01:18:42.680 All right.

01:18:43.360 Jack, take us away, my friend.
