00:03:35.020 on the carpet a little too much

00:03:37.640 anyway he almost got the whole thing by memory almost yeah almost yeah you should come on live

00:03:44.540 pleasure line i think yeah he did he did the dopamine pleasure uh the dopamine hit of the

00:03:50.720 day the unparalleled pleasure that that whole part he left out darn it um yeah sometimes he'd

00:03:56.800 come on like from a hotel room or you just never knew where he would be he was cozy and it was

00:04:02.500 after covid so he was traveling so yay a hotel room um okay you guys so i uh well before joel

00:04:10.880 comes in i'm gonna get in one of my silly clips okay because this is the mood but okay i love

00:04:17.380 when people have like a silent running joke going like it's like unspoken and you just understand

00:04:23.980 you're in the thing and this is between i don't know if this is like just a hotel or a cruise ship

00:04:29.980 or whatever but you know in the morning like you leave um well if you don't you you should leave a

00:04:35.660 couple of dollars on the bed in the morning for the housekeeping when they come in and you know

00:04:41.980 you just get like a little bit better service in case you didn't know that's a little tip from

00:04:45.980 aunt erica but um here is this little unspoken contest going on between housekeeping and the

00:04:54.700 house guest. Oh, I don't want to have the music too loud. Look, then the hotel's like,

00:05:07.780 okay, here's our swan. He leaves the tip in his towel. They make this.

00:05:15.460 i love it then he says here's mine

00:05:24.320 oh my gosh that's a good one yeah the hotel

00:05:32.320 and i like how he left his or she left her glasses so they could use it as a prop with

00:05:38.900 whatever they were doing how many days did they stay i mean really

00:05:45.260 cute i like the crab

00:05:49.320 i don't know what that is per se but there it is

00:05:55.100 a drunk tourist

00:05:59.060 it's almost over guys

00:06:03.420 and oh the hotel

00:06:09.900 Well, that's scary. At least he knew this was going on, but anybody else?

00:06:17.460 I love it. I love that they were all in on it. So sweet. So good for them. That was cute. And

00:06:23.360 now, you know, just leave a couple of bucks for the housekeeping every day. Who doesn't love that?

00:06:30.300 Okay. So you guys, have we been watching any of the little NATO clips with Trump over there?

00:06:37.880 in uh where is he turkey yes he's in ankara turkey oh right ankara um or or um katie miller said that

00:06:47.560 her her daughter i think talked about her dad being in chicken it's like that in chicken and

00:06:54.360 she was like oh yeah that's cute um all right so i just pulled a couple of clips from there i thought

00:07:03.640 let's get into some news because if joel comes strolling in he can just chime in with us so

00:07:09.640 let's see which one this is um this one this might be the spain one again i can't see that the titles

00:07:17.720 but it's these are all a little interesting let's just hear it and then we'll chat about it here we

00:07:23.640 we go with the iran ceasefire possibly over are you can we expect the resumption of

00:07:32.840 they are behaving very badly as they have for 47 years and you know we hit them hard

00:07:39.480 last night after they launched they launched a couple of you don't have to know about this

00:07:43.320 you got stuff on your mind but they launched a couple of drones and one rocket one missile

00:07:50.760 and at chips because they were in the strait which they have every right to be and so we hit

00:07:58.180 them very hard last night very very probably hit them hard again tonight i'll give them a little

00:08:02.360 warning we're going to hit them hard tonight but we'll see how it all works out no i'm not happy

00:08:07.640 with them you know it's like for instance we'll have a meeting we'll talk about the denuclearization

00:08:13.680 of iran because that's what the war is it's not a war it's really the denuclearization of iran

00:08:19.340 and we'll have a meeting and we'll talk about just that just because my whole thing is not about

00:08:24.660 regime change it's not about that although I think it's regime change when you knock out

00:08:28.360 the first group the second group and now you're there I think that's maybe the ultimate regime 0.82

00:08:33.860 change but but that's not what it's about it's about we don't want them to have nuclear weapons 0.73

00:08:39.960 and it's get out of the room we'll talk about like we're here they'll agree on everything and

00:08:46.740 And then they'll go have a news conference and say, we never even talked about it.

00:08:51.060 They're cuckoo.

00:08:52.060 There's something wrong with these people. 0.99

00:08:54.720 And for 47 years, they've been the bully of the Middle East, and they're not the bully 0.99

00:08:59.420 anymore. 0.98

00:09:00.420 They're not the bully anymore.

00:09:02.420 And all we want-

00:09:03.420 It's very simple.

00:09:04.420 They can't have a nuclear weapon.

00:09:05.420 That's what I'm there for.

00:09:06.420 President Trump, sir.

00:09:07.420 President Trump.

00:09:08.420 If they did, they'd use it, and we're not going to let that happen.

00:09:13.420 President Trump, sir.

00:09:15.340 it like magic we just multiplied good morning joel good morning how are you good how are how

00:09:22.060 are you i couldn't get my words out oh man i'm running around in five million different directions

00:09:27.260 but it's very good to be with you oh we love seeing you we were just doing a quick clip of

00:09:32.380 trump talking about well i guess the negotiate the the peace uh agreement is no longer and

00:09:40.220 he's hitting them hard and he said we're going to hit him hard again tonight gave him a little

00:09:44.060 warning um i'll just so joel can settle in i'll just toss that to owen first so um you know we're

00:09:51.260 we're so like ah we're so sick of this story because every day it changes like in a whole

00:09:56.300 different direction so it's we we always feel like what's the point of talking about it because it's

00:10:00.940 going to be different in five minutes so what do you what are you thinking about this latest turn

00:10:05.900 well i i'm frustrated by it just because i i just like this to be over i'd like the united

00:10:11.500 states to come home and not keep doing this i'm not surprised by it because it seemed like almost

00:10:17.340 inevitable that this is the way it would go um because it seems a lot like the gaza hamas thing

00:10:23.200 where it's like we're we're making a deal but we don't really have control over the people who are

00:10:27.900 doing the violence in many cases and they don't seem very unified where they can really make a

00:10:32.620 deal and stick to it and they don't have this you know hierarchical control over everybody so

00:10:37.940 i'm expecting this will continue that they'll still have random attacks and retaliations and

00:10:44.920 things and i'm still hoping we can get to some kind of agreement but it doesn't seem very likely

00:10:49.700 in the short term yeah same what and marcella on that clip what are you what are you feeling

00:10:55.320 i just love the fact that one that he's wearing the golden tie for the golden age and he just

00:11:02.900 you know they're cuckoo so he is putting fear in them by warning them there's going to be this

00:11:09.640 great attacks uh creating the scene already in their mind um i think he's he's playing them

00:11:19.040 i i don't necessarily think the attacks were that strong yesterday um enough to take them out i

00:11:25.920 think he's just doing this as as you know negotiation part of the negotiation with them

00:11:30.700 uh i don't know how much it would work on them since they're um you know want to die so

00:11:38.940 so in in regular terms with a regular you know everyday kind of country it would work but we'll

00:11:47.220 see maybe when you were wrong about iran and then wanting to live or not well and so yeah he's

00:11:55.120 sitting there next to Zelensky. He's like, you're a little busy, but they're cuckoo.

00:12:00.280 So what do you think, Joel? Oh, you're on mute. About the latest.

00:12:07.940 Well, it does seem that Trump is pretty angry because he's put his own political capital at

00:12:15.360 risk for a deal that seems to fall apart all the time. The Iranians think that they have Trump 0.97

00:12:23.420 over a barrel because they know that he's under a lot of domestic political pressure

00:12:27.500 to stop the war, to keep gas prices from rising any higher, to avoid sending ground troops. So

00:12:34.020 they think they can do this right up until the midterm elections, and they can keep pushing for

00:12:38.520 more and more advantageous terms for themselves, which include the right to extract tolls from the 0.82

00:12:43.800 Strait of Hormuz traffic, and also the right, as they put it, to keep Hezbollah in Lebanon, 0.78

00:12:49.060 which will not only attack Israel but occupy Lebanese territory and control Lebanese politics 0.86

00:12:56.180 they want to end this war with one of their most important terrorist armies still very much

00:13:01.660 deployed in the field and causing mayhem and they think they can get there because they think Trump

00:13:06.380 is terrified of losing the midterms and so they keep pushing more and more and more and Trump I

00:13:10.980 think has made some strategic compromises for the sake of the midterm elections but he can only go

00:13:16.020 so far. If you start firing at allies, not just Israel, but the Qataris and other people, Kuwaitis,

00:13:23.980 Omanis, whatever, and you start attacking shipping when there's a clear understanding you're not

00:13:28.520 going to do that, then he's going to have to retaliate. Now, in the past, we've seen these

00:13:33.360 little retaliations, nothing really escalating, nothing going after the regime itself. But that

00:13:40.220 could change. You don't know. And I think Trump is certainly talking like someone who wants to

00:13:44.520 end the regime now and he basically says these are scum he called them scum you can't deal with 1.00

00:13:49.160 them they're crazy and in a sense they are because he's offering them a fantastic deal in fact many 0.99

00:13:55.060 people who were supportive of the effort to win the war are surprised that the terms are as nice 0.69

00:14:01.540 to the Iranians as they are people think that he's actually almost appeasing the Iranians some

00:14:06.440 critics would say and so he's giving them a pretty good deal at least for the next few months and

00:14:11.220 they're walking away from that and creating problems for him so i think he could mean at

00:14:15.040 this time you never know with trump i think his uncertainty is one of his strengths you never know

00:14:19.520 but i think eventually he's just going to get fed up and keep in mind he does have people telling

00:14:25.000 him that you can't trust the iranians those people include but are not limited to the israeli

00:14:29.960 government the israeli government's telling him look you can't have a deal with these people

00:14:33.020 they're nuts and there are advisors who agree uh so you know he's got people telling him that he

00:14:40.080 has other options and he might start to use them. Um, yeah, it is a pretty sweet deal that he's 0.95

00:14:46.260 giving them. And, um, I don't know, it, it feels different. I'm also looking for a clip. I wanted

00:14:53.400 to show you guys. It does feel different this time for some reason. Like he just does seem more fed

00:14:58.460 up. Um, whether he is or not, I don't know. I can't find the clip. I wanted to show it to you

00:15:03.900 guys. If I can later, I'll grab it. He actually seems kind of fed up with everybody because he's

00:15:12.180 also talking. Well, here, let me just play this clip. Let's just see how he's feeling on this

00:15:16.240 one. Let's just wrap up all the NATO and then we're going to get to what Joel wanted to talk

00:15:22.400 to us about really quick. Here we go. I mean, just so there's Greenland is very important for

00:15:27.820 the United States, but it's not important for Denmark. In fact, when Denmark was overrun by

00:15:33.020 the nazis in less than one day hitler beat them out in one day took over they asked us to take

00:15:40.300 care of greenland in fact we took greenland and then stupidly we gave it back we shouldn't have

00:15:45.860 given it back to them because we're the ones that need it we need it for protection of the world

00:15:50.140 not just the united states and it's very important it doesn't help denmark but it helps us

00:15:55.120 and it's very important for us and again they were defeated very quickly denmark was beaten in one

00:16:01.820 day less than one day by the Nazis by Hitler and when this happened they

00:16:07.580 immediately switched it over to us we owned it we had it we're taking care of 0.56

00:16:11.900 it and then we gave it back which is I don't know why I wouldn't I wouldn't have

00:16:15.740 given the Panama Canal back either you know so what do I know I certainly 0.90

00:16:19.460 wouldn't have done that because China's trying to take over the Panama Canal and

00:16:22.520 that's not gonna happen so but I just you know it's it's interesting I'm very

00:16:27.680 unhappy with nato and yet this man is a great leader and he gets it he gets it gets it maybe

00:16:33.720 better than some of the leaders so i think i'm going to play the next clip also and then we'll

00:16:39.900 just talk about all of it and like his general uh feeling because something just feels different to

00:16:46.620 me maybe now that like the fourth of july whole thing is over and he's seeing like you know what's

00:16:52.500 coming down the pike for him. So one more quick clip, and this one is directed to Spain.

00:16:58.640 Again, he's not happy. And I want to thank Mark. He's been a great secretary general of NATO. I'm

00:17:05.920 not happy with NATO because of what they did with Greenland. And I'm not happy with NATO because of

00:17:11.000 the fact that they didn't want to help us with the number one state sponsor of terror, that's Iran.

00:17:17.360 They were unwilling to help us. Now, in all fairness, I didn't speak to Mark about it. I 0.60

00:17:20.620 think if I did it might have been different but we didn't need help but I was really testing I

00:17:25.500 wanted to see whether or not they'd be there and the answer is they were I spoke to Germany I spoke

00:17:29.280 to France spoke to UK spoke to Italy I spoke to I didn't speak to Spain Spain is a wasted

00:17:37.640 cause we don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore by the way I'd like you to cut it

00:17:42.220 So Spain is a terrible partner in NATO.

00:17:47.760 They don't participate.

00:17:49.360 They don't pay. 0.96

00:17:51.060 I don't want anything to do with Spain.

00:17:53.040 Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits.

00:17:57.940 Okay, we don't want anything to do. 0.88

00:17:59.420 Watch them come running back.

00:18:01.760 They'll come running back.

00:18:03.120 They treat this man terribly.

00:18:05.780 And this man's a good man, too.

00:18:07.180 Great man.

00:18:08.460 They're lucky they have him. 1.00

00:18:09.800 But Spain doesn't agree to anything, and you shouldn't carry them.

00:18:14.660 I mean, you sort of automatically carry them because you're protecting an area, so they're there.

00:18:18.920 So they probably figured they have to protect us, right?

00:18:21.960 But we don't have to.

00:18:23.260 We don't have to trade with them.

00:18:24.300 I don't want to do any more trade with them.

00:18:25.780 All right?

00:18:26.300 Take it immediately.

00:18:27.780 Don't even talk to them.

00:18:29.100 They're hopeless.

00:18:30.500 They're bad people because, you know, they have everybody else going and paying and working in Spain,

00:18:36.520 in particular Spain.

00:18:37.600 There are a couple of others, but in particular, Spain, they're open about it.

00:18:41.420 They're hostile about it.

00:18:43.340 And let's see how hostile they remain when they call up and they, please, please, we

00:18:48.640 want to trade with you, sir.

00:18:49.840 We want to trade with you, sir.

00:18:52.180 They make so much money with us, and we're going to see that they make a lot less.

00:18:56.100 I want no business with them.

00:18:59.160 Oh, man, Spain, you are in trouble.

00:19:03.140 So he's looking over at Scott Pesant and Marco Rubio.

00:19:07.020 That's who he's talking to when he says, no more communication with them, don't even talk to them, no visits, nothing.

00:19:12.980 So, yeah, I feel like the tone is different.

00:19:15.300 I feel like he's a little bit more serious now.

00:19:18.660 Joel, I'll come to you first on this one.

00:19:20.880 So are you sensing that things are, I don't know, more serious with him now?

00:19:28.000 It's hard to know because I don't know what it means to cut off a trade with Spain.

00:19:34.000 The government has not been helpful in the Middle East.

00:19:36.000 they've been very anti-israel and it sort of illustrates a classic principle of scapegoating

00:19:41.400 the spanish prime minister's wife is under suspicion of corruption she's got a bunch of

00:19:47.120 corruption allegations against her and the worse that scandal gets the more the prime minister

00:19:51.860 starts beating the middle east issue and attacking israel it's sort of a classic don't look at the

00:19:58.140 corruption look over here at this other thing so they've said and done some some pretty hostile

00:20:02.320 things they've also been unhelpful with the american war effort generally so you know it's

00:20:11.280 not a surprise that that he'd have a problem with them at the same time i don't know how we really

00:20:15.260 cut off trade to a member of the eu maybe we cut off visits that's easy enough to do

00:20:20.220 but i i you know you have to think he's going to get some attention by saying

00:20:24.080 um i think there's a strain of politics in europe right now which is to try to interfere

00:20:31.220 determined to interfere with the president uh in any way possible hello this is my this is my

00:20:37.040 four-year-old um anyway and i'm about to get interrupted again by by a call for a radio

00:20:44.760 interview but um yeah i mean we'll see where this goes i think the president could end up

00:20:50.920 just simply making a decision and and uh we'll see i do think the iranian regime is taking a

00:20:56.040 huge risk. I mean, if the president is giving you this much, then you should take it, but they're

00:21:02.060 not. Right. Okay. So Owen, I'll come to you on this one now. Whether it's on Greenland or Denmark

00:21:10.420 or anything he's talking about, what are you feeling from him? I mean, to me, it seems like

00:21:18.540 it's just a continuation of his policies for those things. I think he has been talking about

00:21:25.800 greenland for a long time i think people it makes the news just because he's bringing it up again

00:21:29.820 because i think people were hoping it would just go away i don't think it will um you know i think

00:21:35.720 to me it seems like he's sort of playing the long game with that where he's not you know invading

00:21:40.200 greenland or anything but he's just bringing up to normalize the conversation and to continue it

00:21:46.000 until it becomes the obvious solution i mean i think that's the strategy and um as far as iran

00:21:52.060 goes, I agree with Joel that they are probably getting the best deal they're ever going to get

00:21:56.380 in terms of ending this, but I just don't think they have control. I don't think they have a

00:22:01.280 unified government at this point. So I think it's kind of impossible for them to really

00:22:05.260 rein everybody in and say, okay, we're all going to get together and do this. It seems like they

00:22:09.640 have the hardliners and the people who want to make a deal and then maybe just some loose cannons

00:22:14.980 in between. And so it just seems like it's a hard thing for them to pull off.

00:22:20.500 Yeah. And what about the whole thing with Spain? I mean, I just I just am sensing frustration. And I also feel like maybe he said the Spain thing also to appease the head of NATO, who is, like you said, having a hard time with Spain, maybe to show like, hey, I'm your buddy or something.

00:22:39.180 um well i think it's a certainly a card that trump can play you know he's done it in the past where

00:22:46.080 he just like says i'm going to blow up your trade and then suddenly they come to the table and say

00:22:49.700 let's make a deal so i think he does have a lot of um leverage over spain um and i do think they're

00:22:56.600 probably not being very cooperative not just from nato but in general you know their policies seem

00:23:01.700 amongst the more extreme i mean they're the ones that are kind of saying we're going to give

00:23:07.040 blanket asylum to all illegal immigrants i posted a story today that says like 70 percent of the

00:23:13.600 people who are going to spain who claim to be unaccompanied minors are actually adults

00:23:18.100 like 70 wow um that's creepy and uh you know so they seem to be going in the wrong direction 0.84

00:23:27.340 everywhere and so i you know if we can bring them back to the table and say you got to get in line

00:23:32.360 with what we need here, I think it would be a good thing. But I don't know. I don't really

00:23:38.360 care that much about Spain either. I mean, I'd rather have Trump focusing on what's going on

00:23:42.080 in America. Same, same, same. So Marcella, hilarious listening to him. We were laughing

00:23:48.460 for sure. He's very entertaining. So on any of those three clips, take it away. You only have

00:23:55.500 five minutes left with us. Yeah, I only have like six minutes. Take it, sister. I hate Spain. So I

00:24:02.220 am so happy that he hates Spain like I do. Wait, why? I've always hated Spain. Anybody from Latin

00:24:09.280 America hates Spain. But anyways, I won't go into that. But it's just the people that I love,

00:24:17.680 but the government has always been, you know, it's the third term of Pedro Sanchez, the prime

00:24:25.020 minister of spain he's a socialist um you know nothing they never do anything that they promise

00:24:32.260 and it's uh well we can go into why socialism sucks and all that but but we got it you know

00:24:41.460 i think he's right they're not bringing in uh none of these european countries are actually

00:24:47.020 bringing it into NATO. They want to be living their life, you know, having 30 to 60 day vacations

00:24:56.540 and they want America to defend them, you know, and they don't want to pay for it.

00:25:02.420 So I'm glad Trump is the first president that is asking to increase their commitment to NATO

00:25:08.740 because they seem to be very like, oh, we must meet with NATO and have NATO. You mean,

00:25:15.400 more you mean um you mean us you mean america you know and so it's like this idea uh anyways

00:25:23.440 greenland the greenlanders are freaking out uh whenever trump brings this up because they they

00:25:31.680 don't like it one of the reasons that that they don't like it is because the u.s can already be

00:25:39.460 there. They can already have multiple control militarily. They already have a station there.

00:25:48.880 They have different things there. They have military there. So they're wondering, so their

00:25:54.960 suspicion is that, is it time? Their suspicion, and you're looking for a clip. Their suspicion

00:26:05.200 is that there's perhaps they want the oil. That's their suspicion. And there has been an American

00:26:12.860 company there recently that wanted to extract the oil from certain area. They have to get like the

00:26:21.120 okay of Denmark. They have to get the okay of the Greenlanders and all sorts of things. And it takes

00:26:27.000 a while, but they're figuring that it's not the military issue because the U.S. has already

00:26:33.240 control over the military, they're thinking, oh, you want all the oil. Greenland is very rich in

00:26:38.660 oil and very, like they're doing very good. So, oh, okay. Andy is keeping track of my time.

00:26:49.120 So funny. Yeah. So I think, I mean, some Greenlanders like it, but I'm sure the majority

00:26:54.940 are worried about it. And with good reason, if they're thinking it's about the oil, I mean,

00:27:00.040 would make sense that that would be an option um i don't know and trump's been talking about

00:27:07.180 the panama canal for as long as i can remember so it would be in their best interest for

00:27:12.600 greenland for the u.s to take over greenland one of the things you might not know is that

00:27:17.340 greenlanders cannot own any land so if you have a property it's the property but the land is owned

00:27:23.540 by the government always so there's certain things that trump can give them that they don't

00:27:32.200 have they don't have certain rights that to the land to this to that to exploring to even creating

00:27:39.160 their population is exploding they don't have so you know maybe call me trump so i can like help

00:27:46.800 you out with yeah certain things president trump please call marcella you can um her dms are maybe

00:27:53.420 open i'm sure for you they are um and she'll help you figure that out thank you i like that um and

00:28:00.160 that's i didn't know they didn't own their land that's kind of sucky but all right um marcella

00:28:05.320 do you want to say goodbye yeah i'll say goodbye marcella no it's so sad don't go this is not right

00:28:13.220 you know owen just does the irish goodbye which is less bad

00:28:19.280 listen to what owen says because i have one more minute so i'll listen to it i'm part irish so

00:28:26.300 that makes sense for me i do the irish goodbye i think you should just tell the judge that you

00:28:31.600 need to reschedule i mean i don't know what you're doing here oh yeah he'll be happy with that um

00:28:37.560 all right so then on so that was that was all i really pulled for nato i mean we will see what

00:28:43.560 happens tonight with iran and you know what kind of bombing campaign there's going to be or not

00:28:49.560 i'm so i just so want to focus on this country you guys like you have no idea um all right so

00:28:56.420 let me move on then marcella i'm going to a new topic in uh virginia this is just just to show us

00:29:05.600 all was that your timer oh god bless bless your soul marcella have fun in court today marcella 0.85

00:29:12.400 kick some butt would you she does not want to go you guys i don't want to go i love you guys 0.85

00:29:19.120 bye look at her like she's getting sent away to jail you won't stop you if you want to stay 1.00

00:29:24.400 and just blow off court barcelia you want me to kick you out or you want to comment on i'm 12

00:29:31.400 whenever you say yes anyways have fun you guys and uh i see joel's still there so he'll be back

00:29:39.580 He'll be back. Yeah. And you'll be back tomorrow. Yes. Okay. Thank God. I'll kick you out. Okay.

00:29:45.960 Bye. Okay. Bye. I feel bad. Okay. There she goes. All right. So this is in Virginia. So we always

00:29:52.380 talk about like how the politicians just hate us so much. Here's another example. So Owen and I

00:30:01.040 were talking about this a little bit before the show, you know, where these people pass laws and

00:30:06.120 then they were like but we're exempt we're exempt like we don't have to have obamacare we don't you

00:30:10.380 know but you little minions down there have to so here is one about gun laws in virginia which is 0.96

00:30:18.100 home of abigail spamburger but listen to this um madam president i wish the senator from eastern 0.99

00:30:26.400 fairfax could hear himself could hear himself because this job we think this job has gotten 0.99

00:30:33.640 dangerous in the last couple years? Well, how many Virginians out there believe that they're in a

00:30:39.080 situation where they need to protect themselves, but yet we don't listen to them? Well, not me,

00:30:46.900 but this body's not going to listen to them because they think they need to have this protection.

00:30:53.820 We're going to carve something out for General Assembly members. That, to me, is beyond the pale.

00:31:02.100 General Assembly. We are a citizen legislature. We are citizens just like everybody else. We go

00:31:10.960 back home. We interact with their constituents. We're a part of the community. We are no better

00:31:16.900 than anybody else. And we should never vote for a bill that gives us a special privilege

00:31:24.940 over any other citizen senator from western amen i mean good for him for speaking up and saying that

00:31:34.760 i i don't know what happens after that owen but um it i'm guessing they just move on and pass the

00:31:42.500 bill but it is ridiculous i totally agree with him i think anytime the the any kind of either

00:31:49.380 state or federal congress passes legislation that says well we're exempt from this law it's like

00:31:56.320 so blatant in terms of saying we're going to do something bad for other people but we're not going

00:32:01.480 to do it to ourselves and we're just gonna you know treat ourselves like we're special and i

00:32:07.340 think it should almost be unconstitutional to do things like that i think we should be just

00:32:12.140 not allowed to say we're gonna exempt congress from something that we subject everyone else to

00:32:18.060 it because it's like the opposite of the philosophy of the constitution it's like it's like treating

00:32:23.180 them like monarchy or like a ruling class yes and i mean i think everybody that's watching this right

00:32:31.320 now would agree that wouldn't you feel so much better if they had to live by the same laws they're

00:32:37.460 passing and don't you love how they're always giving themselves a raise when everyone else is

00:32:43.640 like losing jobs and you're just like the like the nerve and they have all this vacation time

00:32:49.420 like it's all so backwards and it sends such a terrible message and you know i gave um marjorie

00:32:56.260 taylor green like a lot of um props for staying and working like what she was like you know it's

00:33:03.520 just gross like everyone's going on vacation and you know we have the government shut down and we

00:33:07.960 have this and we have that and i'm like yeah that's kind of what i want to see from all of

00:33:11.140 politicians act like you care and also that's another reason why you need term limits like

00:33:16.340 these people they're they've just got it made it's so gross um i forget what other laws there were

00:33:22.500 but they don't they don't um do anything that we have to do so it's pretty crazy to say we're going

00:33:28.100 to take your guns away and good luck but we're going to keep ours because we're more important 0.51

00:33:33.780 than you like what an insult i don't know what virginians are gonna do um owen anymore i'm hoping

00:33:41.540 they'll realize their mistake and they'll reverse it next time they can at least but um it doesn't

00:33:46.980 seem like the way things go i don't but again it's hard to know whether it's through some kind

00:33:51.140 of legitimate election or whether there was a whole bunch of influence or corruption or fraud

00:33:56.500 or whatever because it seems like we find that everywhere we go yeah you guys sorry that we're

00:34:01.620 a little haphazard but with marcella having to leave and then joel came late but now joel's gone

00:34:06.100 he's just gone just so you know if he comes back i'll let you know so we're a little bit like choppy

00:34:11.460 so i'm just gonna run a couple more clips that we have because there are things that i wanted to

00:34:15.620 show you guys and talk about anyway so this is good it gives owen and i a chance to clear out the

00:34:20.660 the deck here um so owen has no idea what's coming next so it'll be fun okay i've been wanting to

00:34:26.500 to play this one. So the other day I posted on my socials that if Ron DeSantis could Florida

00:34:37.400 America, I so want him for president. I mean, he just does the most common sense, smart things

00:34:46.400 all the time for the people of Florida. And I'm just like, oh, oh, flavor. You can joyfully adapt.

00:34:52.940 I love that. Oh, and someone offered to come tell jokes, Dr. Von Hardy. Okay, so listen to this,

00:34:59.100 you guys. You know what one of my biggest issues is, which is Islam. Just listen to Ron DeSantis 1.00

00:35:06.020 on this issue. Governor Ron DeSantis says he wants to label several groups as terrorist

00:35:11.500 organizations under a new Florida law that just took effect. Governor DeSantis named the Council

00:35:17.480 on American Islamic Relations, also known as CARE, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa

00:35:22.640 as groups that he's targeting. The law allows Florida law enforcement to recommend organizations

00:35:27.720 for this label, but the state cabinet has to vote on it. Yeah, Russ, the new state law

00:35:32.660 took effect yesterday, and Governor DeSantis says that safety starts with first identifying

00:35:38.120 a threat. That's why he designated the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Muslim 0.97

00:35:43.120 Brotherhood and dozens more organizations to be terrorist organizations. We've got to draw a very 0.82

00:35:48.960 strong line in the sand here. We've seen this creep throughout the country over many, many

00:35:54.020 years. The new law also prohibits courts from imposing any stipulations of religious law

00:35:59.320 with a specific focus on Sharia law. Critics say it violates the rights of freedom of speech

00:36:04.980 and due process. DeSantis says the new law will also strip funding from schools and local

00:36:10.720 governments with ties to these organizations you know let's just say you know you had a school

00:36:16.320 with ties to care in the muslim brotherhood uh you know do you want florida scholarship money

00:36:23.280 going to those to those schools of course you wouldn't want that the florida cabinet will have

00:36:28.640 to ratify all 90 plus organizations as terrorist organizations before those

00:36:33.920 designations can become official the governor said he expects the law to face legal challenges

00:36:40.720 Oh, just like so much common sense. I know people are like, oh, his personality is dull or I didn't like this or like that. But I mean, it's so much common sense. And I feel like obviously he's a governor, so he's not having to deal with, you know, international issues, but he's so America focused. And I feel like Owen, like, I feel like we're really missing the America focus. What do you think about what he's doing there?

00:37:05.700 Well, I agree with a lot of the things DeSantis has pushed through, and I think he's been one of the best, if not the best, at actually making changes at the state level to push things in the direction that at least people like us on the right or conservative leaning would want.

00:37:22.160 I think it's the right way to go because I think it should also probably cement the population over time.

00:37:32.580 I mean, you know, if someone is like one of these woke liberals that is going to be screaming every day and crying every day, maybe they'll leave and maybe it'll attract more people that would vote the way that we want people to vote.

00:37:42.860 And, you know, I suppose you could make the same argument for the other side that, you know, places like Washington and Oregon, when they pass all these woke laws, it might cement their ability to maintain their voter base.

00:37:56.700 So maybe that's what it is. But I do think it's, you know, markedly different in Florida.

00:38:02.580 in terms of all these things as far as this particular thing i i guess i would have to

00:38:06.380 understand more about what it would really mean like i i on the surface designating someone as

00:38:12.360 a terrorist organization doesn't really mean anything it and and it sounds like this is just

00:38:17.600 the ability to recommend it that then another body has to actually vote on it which means it

00:38:23.020 may or may not happen but even if it did happen i would just then ask the question okay what does

00:38:26.960 that mean because at the federal level like we talked about this in the past with domestic

00:38:31.780 terrorists you know muslim brotherhood and others um antifa and things like that but it i don't

00:38:38.500 think that really has any teeth like it doesn't really mean anything to designate someone as a

00:38:43.060 domestic terrorist organization it doesn't give any additional authorities it doesn't mean you

00:38:47.700 can go arrest them it doesn't mean anything really as far as i can tell and so i i would ask the same

00:38:53.700 question at the state level like okay if you do get the muslim brotherhood or care or some of these

00:38:58.640 other things to be designated as a terrorist organization what does that mean what does it

00:39:02.500 change and maybe there are maybe there is a good answer for it I mean maybe that means you can't

00:39:07.200 donate money to them or you can't you know like maybe it does give law enforcement some additional

00:39:12.720 capabilities at the state level because I just don't know what the how that how that works but

00:39:17.280 I would still want to have answers to that question to know is this just theater or is this

00:39:22.900 something real yeah i agree i i because what's happening at that delaney hall or whatever it's

00:39:29.900 called in newark with all the pro ice pro protesting out there a lot of those people

00:39:34.920 are antifa and i'm like well doesn't that mean that there are domestic terrorists and then if

00:39:39.180 you're a terrorist wouldn't you be in jail so i do wonder what that means although i have a feeling

00:39:45.560 in florida it means more than it does on the federal level but you're right i'd like to see

00:39:50.660 what that means. Maybe we could dig into that a little bit further and find out. And someone

00:39:56.160 mentioned Andy Ngo. So you guys, if you don't know Andy Ngo, his last name is spelled N as in Nancy,

00:40:02.240 G-O. He has been covering Antifa since, oh my gosh, like 2015-ish. So check him out because

00:40:11.700 the man has literally put his life on the line. He's one of the few people I will donate to

00:40:17.340 just like privately to help him because he's, he's doing such great work, but I don't know.

00:40:24.160 I just, you know, somebody said DeSantis picks up the free money on the table. Yeah. I mean,

00:40:28.560 it's common sense money he's picking up. And again, also, I feel like that's such a sense

00:40:35.060 of patriotism to be doing these things to keep America safe. And that's kind of all I care about

00:40:40.540 right now um because i i feel so much less safe than i have ever you know ever in my time and then

00:40:48.540 i and then you have people say no it's the golden age it's the safest time to be in america and i'm

00:40:52.640 like where is that happening uh you know i'm like are you just gaslighting me because i don't see it

00:40:58.960 i think partly it's both are true i i do think there is a lot more left-wing violence than there

00:41:05.060 ever has been in recent years at least and i think you know the the racial divide and all the

00:41:13.000 violence that has gone up a lot as well but i think if you look at statistics even with the

00:41:19.360 fact that all the data is wrong or corrupt or whatever i still would say like compared to let's

00:41:24.220 say the 80s or 90s maybe you know crime has gone down a lot just in general like there's just a lot

00:41:31.200 less in terms of murders rapes arson robbery whatever i mean if you look at most of the

00:41:35.880 statistics sure it was a lot worse yeah i mean just like per capita and stuff i'm pretty sure

00:41:42.140 i could pull up the stats but um you know i think to some extent i don't i don't think it could be

00:41:48.020 completely made up that it's like not safer now than it was back then but i think you just didn't

00:41:54.620 hear about it in the news all the time back then like there were lots of things going on in places

00:41:58.760 like New York city where people were getting robbed and stabbed and murdered and whatever.

00:42:02.160 And you just, unless you read the newspaper, you wouldn't even see the stories. And even if you

00:42:05.920 did, you might only see one or two of them and you wouldn't see a lot of them. I mean, I, again,

00:42:11.220 I'm not minimizing the problems. I think there are real problems. I mean, I live in, I live near

00:42:15.040 Chicago. Like I, I, I see the stats on that all the time and they're ridiculous and I don't know 0.79

00:42:20.120 why more isn't being done to stop it. So it's not like there isn't a problem, but I think it depends

00:42:24.660 on the lens you put on it right like if you go back 30 40 50 years it's different i think it has

00:42:30.260 gone up in recent years compared to let's say five or ten years ago maybe the crime is also different 0.98

00:42:36.740 now because you know let's just call it out i mean like i'm seeing so much black crime that and and 0.71

00:42:46.260 black on black crime, racist stuff, the teen takeovers. And I don't know, everything just 0.87

00:42:55.280 seemed... And when people are getting in a fight now, it's not like two dudes duking it out. It's

00:43:00.520 like, I'm going to get you on the ground so 67 people can stomp on your head. It's like, 0.99

00:43:06.120 what are we doing? Or just someone shooting guns off because they don't give a shit about anybody's 0.99

00:43:11.520 life. I'm not even thinking about you as a human being, a life with a family or anyone that cares 0.99

00:43:17.220 about you. It just all seems so different now. Maybe that's not anyone else's opinion, but

00:43:25.000 that's just how I feel like it's all so escalated and so much more nasty. And then also watching

00:43:33.680 these judges not putting anyone in jail because of their skin color or because they are here

00:43:41.360 illegally and i'm just like what laws are we in for like what is happening here so um you know

00:43:47.680 yeah the good old days though of of a base or maybe in the 70s chunks but the good old days

00:43:52.640 of just like a basic brawl was usually like two people and then all their friends trying to break

00:43:58.960 it up now it's everybody with their cameras and like let's see how extreme it can go and you put

00:44:03.840 a camera on anyone they're going to perform to the max so i feel like that's a problem too i don't

00:44:09.200 don't know i don't like it i don't like it um can i again i'm not trying to say there isn't a

00:44:14.220 problem there is yeah yeah and i think a lot of times especially in some of the bigger cities

00:44:18.260 things are i think getting worse but i i think um it it's just the you know crime in general

00:44:25.780 i think there has been a lot of measures have been taken over decades and maybe that some of

00:44:30.560 it is just you know other trends that have made it less likely that these things happen i mean

00:44:35.380 And some of it might even be like we I see stories regularly how we just don't hang out with each other anymore.

00:44:39.760 We don't have parties. We don't go out as much like people are just at home a lot more.

00:44:44.720 And so maybe that naturally just leads to less crime.

00:44:47.860 But because, you know, there are these natural factors like when the temperature goes up, there's more crime, you know, and it's like some of these things just have an effect.

00:44:58.340 But I think, you know, we're much more in a surveillance state now.

00:45:02.820 So people get caught a lot more.

00:45:04.040 they probably get put in jail or prison a lot more in general i mean we you know and we hear

00:45:09.000 stories especially on the right about them releasing the prisoners but the other side of

00:45:13.300 that is they're releasing them because they ran out of room like they don't have enough space for

00:45:17.860 all the prisoners um and so i think you know it is something that again could be improved and should

00:45:25.500 be improved and i do think we should take that one or two percent and just lock them up like

00:45:29.340 trump has said recently i think where it's like hey the two percent is doing like half the crime

00:45:33.460 or whatever you know we can solve that right like just get rid of that two percent i think is what

00:45:38.380 he said i don't know that he meant it in a you know hang them sort of way alligator moats you 0.77

00:45:44.160 know but you know if you could get those people in prison and keep them in prison or somehow

00:45:49.680 keep them away from everybody else you probably would increase our safety by a lot so

00:45:54.400 i guess that was my timer i'm not sure why that went off no that scared me that sounded like a

00:45:59.760 big nuclear don't worry i don't need to go it's just me um not that i ever can't talk by myself

00:46:06.720 lord knows um all right so all right so we'll see about that and also the other thing i wanted to

00:46:11.740 say too is watching our politicians be so disgusting um this is like another level two

00:46:18.520 where i feel like makes me feel less safe just their just their language and you know calling

00:46:24.460 people racist like you know they're literally literally putting targets on people's back so

00:46:28.800 you know, it's all, it's just different. It's different. It's ugly. It's nasty. It's ramped

00:46:33.460 up. People are really going cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs out there. So, um, I did want to play

00:46:40.020 one other clip, you guys, I got so much positive feedback and so much, um, I don't know, so many

00:46:46.460 great comments about people like with their kids in the trades or that you took notes on yesterday's

00:46:51.720 shows. And, you know, when we were talking about micro, there's another clip from that podcast,

00:46:56.540 that I picked up today. And the person that posted it was WDYFW underscore pod clips. I just wanted

00:47:08.320 to shout them out. So that was a mouthful. So this is their clip. But I it's so funny. He's

00:47:14.680 saying like kind of all the things I said about the welding and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let's

00:47:18.880 let's take a listen. Take notes. Let's go. But I'll tell you something else about the skilled

00:47:23.200 trades man they they lead into more small businesses than more people will seem capable

00:47:31.540 of realizing and that path nobody talks about and i see it all the time did you say they leave

00:47:38.160 small businesses lead lead to the formation of them i i could literally give you a list of people

00:47:46.340 who I helped get a welding certificate for six, seven, eight, 10 years ago, whatever.

00:47:55.240 People think in their minds, ah, that's it. He's going to be a welder. So he's going to weld.

00:47:59.080 And that's it. Maybe he'll TIG weld. Maybe he'll MIG weld. Maybe he'll underwater weld. Those

00:48:03.340 guys make a lot of coin, right? Whatever it is. But that's what this person's going to be.

00:48:09.580 So many times that certification leads to a plumbing certification or an electrical

00:48:14.600 certification. And there's like this hierarchy within the trades. And then they buy a van and

00:48:19.880 they hire their buddies. They got an HVAC buddy, right? And now they got two vans and now they

00:48:24.400 have a mechanical contracting company. And now you've got a dozen guys, men, women, whatever.

00:48:31.520 And they didn't go to college and they're running this business, you know, and like

00:48:38.180 knives whiskey success it's like there's so many paths to that and and the trades don't get their

00:48:49.300 their due in my opinion so many of the people i've profiled on dirty jobs nobody believes this

00:48:55.960 but i'm telling you you watch the show growing up right i know for a fact 40 of the people

00:49:03.320 we profiled were multi-millionaires. We never talked about it. They certainly never talked

00:49:10.280 about it. And nobody assumed that kind of success because they were normally covered in mud or blood

00:49:17.480 or shit or something worse. You just don't equate that kind of success with that optics. 0.97

00:49:24.520 But it's always been there. It's always been right in front of us. And we're just,

00:49:28.120 we so screwed up as a society to make that entire part of our workforce and our entire educational

00:49:38.100 rubric like a vocational consolation prize but we did it and we're still doing it

00:49:47.120 genius because it's so true right we just said this yesterday people made it like you were

00:49:53.580 less than if you did something vocational. No, we screwed up. We really screwed up,

00:50:00.280 you guys. He's so right. I mean, I think the whole no child left behind and everybody needs

00:50:06.140 to go to college idea was just a massive screw up. And I would say even the same thing about

00:50:13.100 stay-at-home moms being denigrated as less than. It's like all these things that are really

00:50:21.280 important um have been just made out to be oh you're you know you're a loser or you're somehow

00:50:28.760 less than other people if you do those things and um you know again i'm not trying to say like 0.78

00:50:34.820 nobody no women should be the workforce or any of that i'm not saying any of that but i'm saying

00:50:39.440 like there is this perception today i think with many women if not even most women that if you

00:50:46.160 don't have a career you're somehow less than everyone else and that if you're a stay-at-home

00:50:51.680 mom you're not important or something and it's like one of the most noble things a woman can do 0.64

00:50:58.100 is to raise their children and raise them what better for your child than to have its mom and

00:51:04.180 and uh you know i think the same is true in a different way for the trades it's like you know

00:51:11.260 there are a lot of people that probably it's not the best thing for them to go to college

00:51:15.160 and and it doesn't mean they're stupid it just means that's just not the best fit for them and

00:51:20.760 it's also i think my gross point is just we need those people we need those trades like we there's 0.95

00:51:26.560 demand for those skills and people exist that could be doing those jobs but they were taught

00:51:33.320 not to pursue them and they were taught that they weren't worthwhile and in many cases i would say

00:51:38.260 they were lied to in the sense of like how much money you can make or how good your career would

00:51:42.260 be because i think many of these people were tricked into going to college and taking on like

00:51:47.000 a hundred thousand dollars in student loans and then they end up not finding any job that can

00:51:51.500 ever pay it off and they end up not making any more money than if they had gone into a trade in

00:51:56.180 fact they might have done much better i mean i've seen the math calculations where it's like okay

00:52:00.280 this guy went to college and took out a bunch of debt and maybe he did get a slightly higher salary

00:52:05.040 coming out of it but the person who went right out of high school into the trade is suddenly making

00:52:10.600 a really high hourly rate, he didn't take on any debt. And so he was making money those four years

00:52:16.260 while the other person was paying a hundred thousand or more dollars. Now it's almost like

00:52:19.680 a hundred thousand dollars a year. I mean, it's like really bad. I mean, at the top schools,

00:52:24.240 I think it is close to a hundred thousand dollars a year. So you're talking about $400,000. I mean,

00:52:28.540 maybe some people get scholarships, but it's still, it's a massive amount of money and you're

00:52:32.800 not making any money during that times and you're not building the skills, you're not moving ahead.

00:52:37.580 And so, you know, if you take an equivalent person that might be really smart and capable, they could go into one of those trades.

00:52:43.940 And then maybe by the time they've been in for 10 years, which means only like six years out of school, right, they might be like 26 or whatever, or 28, maybe, you know, maybe they're ready to start their own business.

00:52:55.180 And if they have the intelligence and the skill set and they've been smart about it, they could probably just say, okay, now I'm running my own HVAC contractor or my own general contractor or my own whatever specialty they went into.

00:53:06.200 And even if they just stay in their job, I mean, I'm not a big fan of unions, but they do have this seniority system.

00:53:13.220 So you kind of automatically keep getting more per hour and all this other stuff.

00:53:17.180 And you do really well financially from what I can see.

00:53:20.520 Again, it may not be like, you know, the top of what you could potentially make as a college graduate.

00:53:27.440 But most people who get college degrees don't end up there either.

00:53:31.560 No, no, they don't.

00:53:32.600 And they don't end up using their degree either.

00:53:34.560 um but you know like yesterday so there's a a high rise on 33rd street new york city

00:53:41.620 that's having a vicious structural problem and they're afraid the building's going to collapse

00:53:46.380 and anyway this one guy's like you know they they went for the money uh you know when pricing out

00:53:51.500 this job to they were adding like 14 floors or something to the building the steel's buckling

00:53:56.860 and he said they went for the to like get the best deal on the job instead of going with the

00:54:02.600 people who are you know proficient tradesmen and we knew what we were doing and now they've got a

00:54:07.700 problem where this whole building might come down and ironically it's the pfizer building um that

00:54:12.580 could i saw that story and i i but i also have to think like there's got to be some failure there

00:54:18.840 beyond just that like there there had as i understand especially with high-rise buildings

00:54:23.800 like this like somebody has to approve the plans somebody has to inspect the work like

00:54:27.740 you're supposed to do all these things did they just bribe these people to look the other way i

00:54:32.220 Maybe. I mean, maybe, but if they hired like this whole union one, that never would have happened. But then I was like, you know what, there's such a need now, you know, just for this building for very skilled tradespeople for every facet of this building.

00:54:48.800 And the other thing I wanted to say was, you know, I remember in high school, you know, we, yeah, we had home ec and whatever they called it, food technology was one. And then there was like the auto shop and the wood shop and whatever. And, you know, like I can remember, I went to a very snooty high school, you guys in a very, very wealthy town. And, you know, the guys in auto shop, I love them.

00:55:14.400 but people will be like, oh, they're like the dirt bags and whatever. They're the same people

00:55:19.580 that are like Jerry Seinfeld's mechanic today, or Jay Leno's mechanic, or like the people with

00:55:27.080 these bougie cars. You know how much money these people make? So it's so funny how people are like,

00:55:33.000 no, it's so beneath whatever. It can be whatever you want it to be. But how many people always are

00:55:40.160 I need a good mechanic. Does anyone know someone for my air conditioning who you really trust?

00:55:46.200 It's not just a friend of yours, but someone that you know is good. Those are the people that mean

00:55:50.740 the most in our lives. An accountant, all right, whatever. Lawyers have to follow the law as long

00:55:57.240 as it's nothing crazy, crazy. But when you're doing something in your home and you're spending

00:56:01.420 your money, which is so expensive, your money, you want the best people and you do anything

00:56:08.500 you know for to have like a good trades person in your pocket so um you can't tell i sound like a

00:56:15.380 normal person yay um so you know it's just it's just something that's really needed and like we

00:56:20.980 were saying yesterday the the really devoted electricians and hvac and builders and you name

00:56:30.260 it they're they're going to be retiring like very soon so you know welders and everything so please

00:56:37.940 get this word out to people. My friend's sending her daughter to college after she has one more

00:56:43.240 year in high school. And I'm like, why are you doing that? What's the point? There's nothing

00:56:48.020 she's interested in at all. And they're going to go into some form of a, not debt, but they're

00:56:54.840 going to have big, big, big bills. And she's like, I love her, but she's flaky. She's young. She 0.99

00:57:02.220 doesn't know what she wants to do. So I'm like, get her out in the world, get experience, start

00:57:06.140 making money right away. And just so you know, um, I can speak to that. I did not go to college.

00:57:11.220 I, I opted out of college and I went right into working. My talent stack is insane. You guys,

00:57:17.640 if I told you all the different jobs I've had, you would be like, what are you? 95 years old

00:57:21.900 who've had all those jobs in your lifetime. But I, you know, whenever Scott talked about a talent

00:57:26.600 stack, I'm like, amen, because I feel like I know not even a little, I know like a decent

00:57:32.800 amount of a lot of different things. And so maybe that made me not nervous, not embarrassed, not

00:57:39.600 shy. It taught me how to deal with different types of people and how to grow and do whatever.

00:57:44.220 And so I just don't think stereotypes are healthy. And I think people should go out into the world

00:57:51.180 and just start being useful as fast as you can. And don't ever feel like, oh, I have friends that

00:57:59.900 like i didn't go to college and i'm so embarrassed that someone's gonna ask me where i went to school

00:58:04.860 and i'm like thinking that's never even occurred to me to be like you know someone's gonna ask me

00:58:10.920 if i went to college i didn't go to college i'll tell you my whole story one day you guys will laugh

00:58:15.480 we'll do it on on uh scott's private locals but it's funny um but anyway that's kind of all i

00:58:21.220 wanted to say about all that um anything in closing owen we've hit our time no i think i

00:58:27.160 mean this has been a good discussion and i agree with everything you said and i think it's it is

00:58:31.640 the snobby people and i think i saw sjv asking what a bougie was it's basically a snob someone

00:58:36.620 only wants the best stuff and looks down on everybody that doesn't have the best stuff

00:58:40.600 bougie it's yeah never mind yeah that's it um all right well you guys thank you yeah we lost

00:58:48.360 joel and marcella hopefully they will be found again but i do know that um joel is very excited

00:58:54.760 about how the biography is going. So, uh, like I said, he called me yesterday morning before the

00:59:00.860 show and he just said that, um, Joshua Lysak and him, they've been having great success with the

00:59:08.180 book. Like there, there's a great momentum going. Um, and so they're both going to kind of rotate

00:59:13.500 and come on and keep us updated as we get closer to the book launch. All right. Um, okay. So I

00:59:21.940 think that's it you guys should I play an Akira song on the way out oh and if you have to dip out

00:59:26.340 I totally get it I do okay all right great so we'll we'll just do um a closing sip and we'll

00:59:32.740 say thank you to Scott and Shelly for allowing this show to continue don't forget Friday we have

00:59:38.120 a oh I announced this yesterday at the end we have a new guest professor coming on his name is Jesse

00:59:44.660 Kelly so if you don't know him get used to him he's a perfect Friday guest host he's a lot of

00:59:51.860 fun you're gonna love him he's just speaks his mind all right so you guys get out there be useful

00:59:57.420 do all the things and let's have a closing sip to our very beloved scott adams to scott to scott

01:00:04.360 suburban let me answer you wait where'd you go why isn't owen live he isn't live because he has

01:00:15.520 um a job it's not like a cia job we joke around but he has a job that might not appreciate him

01:00:23.200 being on a show that has any kind of politics in it so he's always been i mean i know who he is

01:00:30.080 scott know who he is and marcella knows um but he's always had a private persona just so he

01:00:36.000 doesn't have to have his personal life ruined and so um it was always known that owen would be

01:00:42.720 be, um, just an image. That's why nothing crazy. Okay. Let's do it. Let's do. Oh, you guys,

01:00:52.720 which one, which one? How about get out? Let's do get out. Somebody asked me for a reframe

01:01:00.640 to help them get out of their head and, you know, stop having ruminations and bad thoughts.

01:01:06.880 and i suggested the reframe of that i tried myself and it worked where you just say get out

01:01:15.140 where you just say get out akira get out

01:01:20.780 you just say get out just get out of your head now the frame that makes it work

01:01:32.600 is to realize that you are a person

01:01:35.080 who has two completely different lives.

01:01:38.040 This is the key.

01:01:39.420 There's a part of you that lives only in your head

01:01:42.140 where you think about the past,

01:01:43.820 which literally doesn't exist.

01:01:47.800 It's imaginary.

01:01:49.380 It existed at one point,

01:01:51.260 but now it's just the thoughts of the best.

01:01:53.700 Get out.

01:01:54.960 Get out. 1.00

01:01:56.120 Get out. 1.00

01:01:57.120 Get out now. 1.00

01:01:58.580 Just say, get out. 1.00

01:02:00.620 Get out of here.

01:02:01.360 but you also have thoughts of oh what will happen in the future i'm worried about the future

01:02:09.340 and that doesn't exist doesn't exist so the life you live in your head is a completely imaginary

01:02:18.480 one things of the history in your past that don't exist anymore and worries about the future that

01:02:25.640 doesn't exist yet but the outside world is all real stuff stuff you can touch breathe sense and

01:02:32.600 we live in both of those worlds we go back and forth and so the idea that i had that worked when

01:02:39.880 i did it was i just said get out what i meant was get out of the imaginary world and get into the

01:02:46.840 the real one. Get out. Just say, get out. Get out. Just say, get out. And just walk out

01:03:12.020 the sun, walk out the door, pet the dog, do a chore, exercise. Just get out. And so I'm

01:03:22.840 going to ask you this as a favor. Try it once. Just try it once. Just tell yourself you have

01:03:29.560 two worlds. There's the imaginary one in your head and then there's the real one. And all

01:03:34.460 sadness comes from the imaginary one. As soon as you find unpleasantness because you're

01:03:39.120 your head get out just get out join the real world just go hey i'm in the real world yeah

01:03:48.800 look at this real world you'll feel instantly better the cure for it is to yell get out

01:03:56.880 Just say, get out

01:04:02.560 I want you to hold me, get out of here

01:04:06.700 Get out

01:04:08.220 Just say, get out

01:04:13.740 Get out 0.71

01:04:15.160 Get out of here
