00:01:30.000 Hey everybody, how's it going?

00:01:33.900 Thanks for joining me this evening.

00:01:35.700 Got a great stream with a bunch of guests I think you'll really enjoy.

00:01:39.540 We're keeping things cozy and casual here.

00:01:42.480 Just have a nice after Christmas special with some of the friends of the show.

00:01:48.200 So joining me today, we have Bogbeef and Myrick from the Good Old Boys.

00:01:53.260 Thank you, gentlemen.

00:01:54.640 Thanks.

00:01:55.020 We've only just begun.

00:01:57.280 Yep, yep.

00:01:57.820 Of course, everyone here I'm sure is a huge fan of the Good Old Boys, but you should definitely

00:02:01.440 be checking their stuff out if they have not.

00:02:03.360 And then a blast from the past here, having had Clossington on for a long time, one of the original NRX boys here.

00:02:09.700 Clossington, thanks for coming back on, man.

00:02:11.600 It's a pleasure to be back on, Aaron.

00:02:14.200 It's been a while since I've been back on Twitter.

00:02:16.320 I just hopped back on as Chossingstone won.

00:02:22.600 Unfortunately, the new Jannies haven't been able to nuke me quite yet, but we'll see how it goes. 1.00

00:02:30.880 Thanks for having me on.

00:02:32.240 Yeah, you need to set up that thing that Academic Agent has going where he just has like nine SAC accounts constantly,

00:02:39.560 and he can just jump from account to account in any given time.

00:02:42.720 And then we have Furious Pertnax joining us from the land of Australia. 0.64

00:02:49.400 Indeed.

00:02:50.040 Thank you for having me on, Aaron.

00:02:51.700 It's quite the panel on today, so I think we'll have some fun.

00:02:54.520 And of course, Merry Christmas to everyone.

00:02:56.880 Yes, Merry Christmas, sir.

00:02:58.180 So, you know, we're going to do a couple different things here.

00:03:00.900 We've got, obviously, we're going to be talking about Christmas.

00:03:04.740 Wanted to get a little bit into a few Christmas traditions and what we talked about a few things last year.

00:03:10.300 I think we hit like Christmas movies and things.

00:03:11.940 So I'm going to mix it up with some topics this year.

00:03:14.280 Also wanted to go ahead and get maybe into a little bit of a, you know, year that was.

00:03:18.800 I'll have another stream or two before, you know, the new year comes around.

00:03:23.680 But I figure this is a good time to kind of do the year in review thing as well,

00:03:27.600 since we're kind of casually in here hanging out together.

00:03:30.540 But just wanted to go around the panel here a little bit and maybe get everyone's opinion on a few things.

00:03:36.960 Maybe start out with some Christmas traditions that are a little unusual or particular to your region or family.

00:03:44.940 So let's go ahead.

00:03:47.500 Well, I guess I could start here with myself.

00:03:51.740 Let's give everybody a second to think.

00:03:53.280 So my wife's family in particular is very musical and we're in the South.

00:03:59.780 So if you they they didn't get to it this year that they did a little bit.

00:04:03.780 They started singing a little bit.

00:04:04.920 But if you hang out long enough at the house, it's only a matter of time before bluegrass breaks out.

00:04:10.220 And so you usually end up with a with a large number of people just grabbing, you know,

00:04:15.560 random instruments or playing through different songs, different stuff.

00:04:20.840 Sometimes it's just James Taylor, that kind of thing.

00:04:22.620 But sometimes it gets into bluegrass and that's always really entertaining for me.

00:04:26.200 But Bobby, what's something you guys do at Christmas, maybe a little bit different?

00:04:30.320 One one that I didn't I didn't know that we had a Normie thing going on.

00:04:37.140 Well, I don't know about Normie, but so I had no I had no idea that this was the thing.

00:04:42.260 But I just know on Christmas, the men sit outside and shuck oysters and the ones that are good for stew.

00:04:49.300 We set them set them aside and, you know, grandma makes them into oysters, too. 0.57

00:04:56.400 I just thought this was something we did because we're kind of, you know, water swamp people.

00:05:02.700 So we know eating oysters isn't that rare.

00:05:05.940 But eating eating oyster stew is rare.

00:05:08.300 That's just a Christmas thing.

00:05:09.580 I didn't see until Benjamin Braddock posted a tweet about like this is a thing.

00:05:14.300 This is like this is a big tradition in the South.

00:05:17.020 I had no idea.

00:05:17.840 Just something we did.

00:05:18.680 So.

00:05:20.160 Very nice.

00:05:20.940 Claus, it's in.

00:05:21.460 What about your region?

00:05:22.620 Anything odd?

00:05:23.680 Have I heard about Scrapple?

00:05:26.080 I think you were talking about here recently.

00:05:29.500 OK, so I'll have to actually explain what Scrapple is.

00:05:34.500 But to answer the Christmas question, usually my family just I have a rather large extended family and they all come over from various states and crash at my parents' place.

00:05:46.320 And it's usually rather hectic.

00:05:47.960 We don't have any particularly like particularly like interesting traditions, but I think I need to explain what Scrapple is and what the authentic Pennsylvania cuisine is.

00:06:02.420 So what Scrapple is, is cornmeal plus all the pieces of the cow or pig that usually you don't want to eat.

00:06:11.980 And it's like a it's like a it's like a it's like a combination of like the meat around pig hooves and the penis and around the organs. 0.63

00:06:24.400 It's you know, if you slice real thin and you like sizzle it on a pan, you can make a nice sandwich out of it.

00:06:33.220 But it's it's it's just a Pennsylvania delicacy.

00:06:39.100 It's certainly unique, to be sure.

00:06:41.860 Yeah.

00:06:42.260 No, it's not because we have it here.

00:06:44.280 But it's we call it punos.

00:06:47.140 OK, you can find it.

00:06:48.380 You can find it throughout Appalachia because, you know, a lot of the same people that settled in Pennsylvania went down through the other side of the Appalachia Mountains down in, you know, West Virginia, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee.

00:07:01.100 Like it's the it's a sort of I was always under the impression that it was a sort of Pennsylvania Dutch thing.

00:07:08.460 But I mean, it might be sort of Appalachian thing.

00:07:11.440 It's a it's a kraut thing and a lot of krauts in that area when the nations at the before the nations founding, you know, the early 1700s.

00:07:20.700 I was going to say I have a lot of extended family out of Tennessee and I've never heard of this.

00:07:24.500 So this has to be a very particular sub sub grouping there because because I was unfamiliar.

00:07:32.100 Well, what about you, Furies?

00:07:33.620 You got any interesting Christmas traditions?

00:07:38.840 Yes.

00:07:39.360 Well, being a being a med stuck out in the in the upside down land, I guess for us, it's a case of maintaining traditions in absentia.

00:07:47.880 Because for anyone who knows, Italians don't get born in hospitals.

00:07:50.740 They're actually born in kitchens. 0.95

00:07:51.800 So we spend we spend, you know, a couple of days cooking prior to Christmas and and like I've explained on streams before, most parts of Australia tend to resemble like if you can imagine the climate of, say, Arizona, New Mexico.

00:08:08.080 You know, once you sort of leave the south coast, it tends to sort of be warm, quite warm and quite dry.

00:08:15.280 So our cuisine is quite different from what you tend to have in the north.

00:08:18.640 You know, in a in a cozy, cold winter environment, you'll have, you know, like puddings and spicy cakes and mulled wine and, you know, big roast turkeys or, you know, roast beef or whatever.

00:08:28.600 We tend to have a lot of seafood because it's more sort of climatically sensible.

00:08:32.700 So lots of lots of like grilled prawns and grilled fish.

00:08:36.540 And we do make a ham anyway, because I suppose we're still European and lots of biscuits.

00:08:43.580 And we tend to have a lot of desserts as well, because obviously it's cold and desserts are refreshing.

00:08:47.800 But after about three days of that, I kind of feel like I need a wheelchair to get around my own house.

00:08:52.200 So I'm glad Christmas only comes around once a year.

00:08:55.080 Yeah, my father-in-law decided to make biscuits and gravy, sausage gravy for Christmas breakfast, which was, yeah, you can't really move after two servings of that.

00:09:07.600 There's no other option but to remain stable.

00:09:10.940 Actually, on that note, I should probably make an exception because if you Americans are here, when I say biscuits, I refer to them in the British sense. 0.65

00:09:18.360 So like cookies, rather, not your savory biscuits.

00:09:21.260 Sorry about that.

00:09:22.040 Oh, how disappointing.

00:09:22.860 I've lost trust in you, but that's okay.

00:09:25.080 Do you listen to the king's speech?

00:09:29.320 It was on, actually.

00:09:31.680 Actually, I did want to watch it because I want to see if Charlie took a different angle from his mom.

00:09:36.280 But I actually missed the speech, so I'm also a bad subject of the crown.

00:09:39.940 But never mind.

00:09:42.240 All right, Merrick, anything you want to share Christmas tradition-wise?

00:09:46.060 I wouldn't say unusual.

00:09:47.380 We had a lot of people who had to work on Christmas Day, so we always celebrate on Christmas Eve.

00:09:52.580 And, you know, we'll get like a nice Virginia Smithfield country ham, maybe some Pond Hoss, get some pumpkin rolls for dessert.

00:09:59.900 Just, you know, watch It's a Wonderful Life.

00:10:04.400 Or if you're my dad, Bad Santa, he watches that every damn year.

00:10:07.780 And it's not the most wholesome Christmas fair, but that's how we do it.

00:10:14.200 Now, not to get too deep into the Christmas movies, because this one is a little overused, but I am interested in people when it comes to It's a Wonderful Life.

00:10:21.280 I feel like the movie has either gained a mythical status or, like, people can't stand it.

00:10:26.980 And, Bob, where do you stand on the It's a Wonderful Life question?

00:10:31.200 Brace yourself.

00:10:32.820 I've never seen it.

00:10:34.940 Wow.

00:10:38.140 Sorry, guys.

00:10:38.800 We have to shut the stream here.

00:10:41.660 Friendship's in doubt now.

00:10:42.960 Have you also never been exposed to Christmas classics?

00:10:46.860 No.

00:10:47.260 No, I think I've watched It's a Wonderful Life at least 20 times.

00:10:56.500 Like, as we all know, It's a Wonderful Life was a box office failure.

00:11:03.020 And it ended up bankrupting the studio that actually produced it.

00:11:07.920 So what happened was there was a bidding war where there weren't any bids for the IP to It's a Wonderful Life.

00:11:17.520 And so what ended up happening was it went into the public domain.

00:11:22.280 And so these television channels could just play it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day without actually having to pay any sort of royalties for licensing.

00:11:34.320 I think it's a great movie.

00:11:35.780 I don't hate it.

00:11:38.720 It's it has a very it's very cozy and has its own sort of rustic charm.

00:11:45.560 But if I was like 40 and I watched it every single Christmas, I think I might end up hating it because of how like schmaltzy it is.

00:11:55.960 Nope.

00:11:57.220 Yeah, I'm probably one in every two or three Christmas viewer at this point.

00:12:02.760 Like, I enjoy it, but I hear you.

00:12:04.620 I don't want to watch it every single year.

00:12:06.560 There are certain like Christmas movies that will aggravate you like like a Christmas story will probably aggravate you just because I can watch it.

00:12:16.820 I love that movie.

00:12:17.920 So I know I know there's a lot of hate for it now.

00:12:19.780 Like, I think most of the hate comes from the from the the merchandising and the sort of boomer tier memes that come out of it, where everybody knows the knows the lines and the punchlines.

00:12:32.300 And, oh, it's fragile.

00:12:35.520 Oh, all the boomers in the room laugh. 1.00

00:12:39.940 That is what gets on some people's nerves.

00:12:42.720 But I mean, I feel like if you space these movies out like every three years or every two years, you'd be fine.

00:12:51.240 You need like a rotation so you can let everything cool down at least a year or two.

00:12:55.280 You got to get to have a proper setup here.

00:12:57.000 Like, if there's like one movie that doesn't really get old, like I really like Christmas Vacation.

00:13:04.000 Yeah.

00:13:04.660 Yeah.

00:13:05.280 That's the best.

00:13:06.460 Watch that one this year.

00:13:07.480 That was very good.

00:13:09.240 Always fun.

00:13:10.240 Furious, where do you stand on on the wonderful life question?

00:13:16.280 Yeah, I'm also in the space it out sort of category.

00:13:20.800 Whereas, for instance, I if I see, say, you know, Die Hard on I'll watch every Christmas because I do insist that.

00:13:26.820 It's a Christmas movie.

00:13:28.200 But, yeah, the the I'm definitely in the one to sort of two to three year camp with with that question or for sure.

00:13:38.600 And Mark, your your opinion, sir.

00:13:40.680 I watch it every year.

00:13:42.000 This year has been particularly annoying because social media, they I haven't seen.

00:13:48.260 I'm sure they've done it before, but for some reason, I guess all the NPCs picked up on it where the well.

00:13:53.080 Well, there's a scene where he finds out that Mary became a spinster librarian if he wasn't born.

00:13:59.080 And I think that's very sexist because maybe she would be happier, you know, in her ugly ass coat in in the in the slum Potterville, you know, working as a librarian. 1.00

00:14:09.780 And, you know, the in the her role in the entire movie is how much she loves having her family.

00:14:16.380 And, you know, she she she like helps helps work at the back at the building and loan. 1.00

00:14:21.580 Right. Like like Mary's not a fringe character in the real narrative.

00:14:26.460 But they, you know, they have to try to ruin everything.

00:14:29.640 Like, I actually really like that point.

00:14:32.840 Like the the last act of It's a Wonderful Life is set in a sort of alternate universe where a main character has been removed from existence.

00:14:43.720 And, you know, he goes through the process, you know, his brother died because he wasn't there to save him.

00:14:53.920 Nobody has houses and the town is degenerate because he didn't actually prop up the local businesses.

00:15:00.700 And now everybody is is promiscuous and degenerate.

00:15:04.720 Degenerate. And the crescendo of it all is that his wife is a librarian who is unmarried and has glasses and a in a ponytail.

00:15:18.160 Like he says, like, she's an old maid.

00:15:21.540 And that's the worst thing out of all these horrific alternate reality like elements.

00:15:27.540 It's I don't know. I think it's I think it's a good like last like twist of the knife to realize, you know, I had the perfect woman and then she became an old maid librarian. 0.84

00:15:44.540 It's it's like I still love it.

00:15:49.180 I mean, she's not just like a library.

00:15:51.260 She's like she's like a frumpy librarian, you know, drinking wine and living her best life or whatever. 0.99

00:15:56.580 She's a she's like all hunched up. 1.00

00:15:58.360 She's all hunched up and super anxious about everything and just clearly miserable.

00:16:03.720 And it's Donna Reed's beautiful woman.

00:16:05.720 And I think made her is unattractive as you could make Donna Reed. 1.00

00:16:10.160 Right. It's like this is the it's the very like there's not even subtext.

00:16:13.600 It's just text. This is the this is the bad outcome.

00:16:16.680 But there it's it's almost like they I guess now that is an aspirational thing.

00:16:21.660 Like, hey, imagine if you could get a job as a librarian.

00:16:24.180 Wouldn't that be awesome?

00:16:26.580 What a terrible what a terrible civilization where librarian is an aspirational outcome.

00:16:31.720 You could sweep the hobos out of the Pottersville library on Christmas Eve.

00:16:36.200 Well, I think the Pottersville thing is a big part, too.

00:16:38.580 Right. Like it's it's she's living as part of this society.

00:16:41.540 Right. This Pottersville society is what is what makes it particularly her.

00:16:44.700 I think in another movie like I noticed it this year, but in the 80s, I think was what's the main character from It's a Wonderful Life called George Bailey, George Bailey.

00:16:57.440 He would have been cast as the bad guy because this summer I watched Poltergeist and the main theme of the movie is don't develop land on graveyards.

00:17:09.600 And now this is exactly what George Bailey does, like in order to get around the sort of monopoly man's stranglehold on real estate.

00:17:21.700 He starts developing like game land and graveyards and and all of the all of the trashy parts of town into these cheap suburbs.

00:17:33.040 Single family dwelling suburbs, the most evil thing you could do. 1.00

00:17:37.420 It would be very nice if I could actually afford one.

00:17:40.760 And we had a few of these IRL George Bailey's, but not really.

00:17:45.520 By the way, librarians, librarians, they're due for a lot.

00:17:51.360 They're sorry. So in the audience is their mother's librarians.

00:17:53.820 So you might want to mute this part, but librarians deserve a lot more abuse than than they get.

00:17:58.860 You know, there's this thing people talk about with the Hick Lib. 0.97

00:18:05.280 You know, they say, like, wow, I went to a rural area and there was someone driving around with a with a Joe Biden sticker on their car and they're wearing Birkenstocks.

00:18:15.280 And like, how could this possibly happen in a rural area?

00:18:18.220 Well, let me tell you, those rural areas have places called public libraries.

00:18:22.620 They don't they're not nobody, no redneck in that town gives them a dollar or, you know, and they hate they hate everyone there, but they can't leave because that's where they get their check. 0.77

00:18:34.100 And on top of this, the libraries are up to so much bull.

00:18:38.300 There's this book that the people read in library school that tells them how to like, I don't know, people know.

00:18:45.160 So when they get books in, a librarian has to decide what book to keep or to throw it away.

00:18:50.200 Well, they have books that tell them, like, if it's if, you know, if it's a book that promotes like, you know, heterosexuality or one of these things like this, you should you can just throw those books away.

00:18:59.360 If someone comes to you asking for for research advice, give them like, you know, super progressive stuff and just ignore other stuff, even if it's wrong.

00:19:09.160 These people are also the worst thing of all.

00:19:11.940 You see these these books by by liberal people that you were like, who would read that book?

00:19:17.740 Nobody libraries just buy them all.

00:19:19.940 And they're just like, oh, you know, if, you know, some YouTube, some bread to start has a has a book.

00:19:26.040 All the libraries will just buy a thousand copies.

00:19:28.360 Yeah, you're you're the person buying it if you pay taxes.

00:19:31.540 Yeah, they just pitch all the Pat McCannon and Thomas Solon, the wood chipper, so they can replace it with whatever random bread to book came out that month.

00:19:41.100 Yeah, it is the grounds.

00:19:43.800 It is the patient zero for the Hicklid contagion.

00:19:47.480 You're absolutely right.

00:19:48.600 I like they're like little you in, you know, missions placed inside red states. 0.95

00:19:54.200 You know, this is this is where the blue blue helmets are stationed inside of your your deep red.

00:19:59.960 Yes.

00:20:00.860 State like this is sort of a tangent.

00:20:02.840 But do you guys actually know how these libraries are like what metric they use to actually determine whether they're doing well or not?

00:20:11.060 Is it just general traffic?

00:20:12.980 How many how many homeless people are masturbating in their computer session?

00:20:16.460 All right.

00:20:19.700 You asked and you got the answer.

00:20:22.260 That's got to be a hell of a spreadsheet, though.

00:20:24.180 Like I'm thinking as like my like I'm putting my my German simulate like video game simulator brain on.

00:20:33.620 Like, how do you do like a library management simulator game?

00:20:39.500 Like, how do you attract people?

00:20:41.900 Like, if you guess would be enrollments.

00:20:44.620 There would be number of number of cards, number of checkouts, number of special event attendees, you know, that kind of thing.

00:20:52.200 But I'm just thinking, how would a librarian actually try to increase traffic into a library?

00:21:00.480 They don't they don't care.

00:21:02.060 They don't get any more money, you know, yeah, they don't give a shit.

00:21:05.340 It's an incentive based pay.

00:21:07.620 Oh, that's grim.

00:21:09.900 Anyway, back to get lost.

00:21:13.120 And we all agree.

00:21:14.160 Librarians are bad.

00:21:15.160 Moving on.

00:21:16.560 No one expected the the librarian hate fest there.

00:21:21.200 But but there you go.

00:21:22.100 Are there any movies like Christmas movies set in libraries?

00:21:26.780 That sounds incredibly boring.

00:21:28.540 I'm told there's a lot of pornographic films set in libraries.

00:21:30.920 We didn't like like Scrooge was was, of course, you know, a bookish lad who spent all his time in his studies and not celebrating Christmas.

00:21:42.760 Is that what we're doing here?

00:21:45.080 Well, my next question was going to be can't miss Christmas movies since we got into it real quick.

00:21:50.120 So I was just going to go around the panel and see what what's your absolute must watches every year, since we know some people need to take a break from a wonderful life bug.

00:21:57.660 What's your what's your absolute must watch every year?

00:21:59.820 Oh, uh, National Lampoon.

00:22:02.340 Yeah.

00:22:02.600 Christmas vacation.

00:22:03.460 No.

00:22:03.780 Yeah.

00:22:04.120 There's not really all everything's been said.

00:22:06.200 But I'll just say is the characters, the character, every character, you you know, them like without even thinking about it.

00:22:13.600 All of them.

00:22:14.280 The best part was the was the the yuppie libtard neighbors. 1.00

00:22:19.820 That was funny.

00:22:22.160 What about Closington?

00:22:23.280 What do you got?

00:22:25.660 Huh?

00:22:26.100 Um, I mean, we always see, like, I don't ever choose to put on like a DVD or anything like that.

00:22:38.100 I just put on what's on TV.

00:22:39.300 And every year, you know, it's a wonderful life, Christmas story, Christmas vacation, Home Alone, Home Alone 2.

00:22:49.000 Um, I know there's also the Santa Claus movies that are always on, but I don't know, it's a little little kitty.

00:22:58.440 Um, I'm not sure if there are any others on the big, like Christmas, uh, marathon lists.

00:23:05.700 Um, I haven't seen Home Alone in a long time.

00:23:08.040 It feels like that one fell off a little bit to me, but.

00:23:11.400 Like, like what's particularly underrated is, uh, Home Alone 3.

00:23:15.540 Um, it's, it, like they, they ditched Kevin McAllister and they replaced it with some new kid.

00:23:22.600 And he's trying to stop these evil secret agents who are trying to intercept a North Korean missile chip or something.

00:23:31.140 It's, it's bizarre, but it's, you know, it was one of my like childhood favorites.

00:23:38.900 Also really underrated, Muppet Christmas Carol.

00:23:42.000 Well, I don't think that's like underrated.

00:23:44.400 Don't think so.

00:23:45.080 You think that gets the, the love it deserves?

00:23:47.380 No, I, I think, um, if you ever put a Muppet Christmas Carol on like a, like a Twitter poll, uh, for best movies, you'll actually get a surprising number of people.

00:23:59.680 Like if you listed all of the Christmas, uh, Carol adaptations, it's almost certainly going to be number one.

00:24:08.080 Yeah.

00:24:08.520 Fair enough.

00:24:09.860 Furious.

00:24:10.480 You got any, uh, particular Christmas movie you watch every year?

00:24:13.040 Actually closing kind of beat me to it.

00:24:16.240 Cause I, um, it's interesting that, uh, uh, in the last couple of years, I've actually found that the home alones, particularly one and two have sort of gone into heavier rotation.

00:24:24.900 And, uh, I can't remember who, who posted this.

00:24:28.220 It was, uh, it would have been last year or it's definitely been the last 12 months anyway.

00:24:32.320 And someone said that, um, home alone is like some sort of, uh, sort of semi sort of esoteric analysis of, um, of the resourceful and, uh, intelligent, uh, wasp, uh, you know, being, uh, keeping the hostile Ellis Island coalition out.

00:24:48.640 Yeah.

00:24:48.960 Well, I was wondering if the, the violence against meds, are you offended?

00:24:51.960 Do you feel like this is an attack on you and your people?

00:24:54.260 I don't, not, not remotely.

00:24:56.020 I think it's actually a wonderful way to frame it.

00:24:58.180 And it's like, it, obviously it's like the meant to be like the skin of some like family movie, but then you sort of look at it with a political context, like such as that.

00:25:05.060 And then people like us can appreciate home alone in a whole brand new light.

00:25:08.620 So I actually found it amusing when I watched it, um, Christmas Eve.

00:25:11.920 I was just like, wow, there's actually, this could have to be perceived as being quite hostile to a minority.

00:25:16.780 Well, and then Trump shows up in the second movie.

00:25:19.400 So, I mean, yeah, yeah.

00:25:20.780 Well, Hillary Clinton didn't help, um, uh, Kevin find his room.

00:25:24.340 So, you know, Trump's a, Trump's a better person.

00:25:26.560 Exactly.

00:25:26.960 I thought you were going to get into like the, the twin towers of home alone too.

00:25:31.720 And, um, yeah, that, that, that stock when you say it, huh?

00:25:34.280 It's like, even in the first one, like, um, like one of the characters says like nine 11 when she's counting like the kids and there, there's like constant like twin towers, like symbology in the first one that, uh, a bunch of schizos notice. 0.90

00:25:51.320 Oh, so is there like a whole mythology based around this?

00:25:54.120 This is some kind of, uh,

00:25:56.120 Yes, Kevin, Kevin did do his 9 11.

00:25:58.840 Oh, okay.

00:25:59.640 Yeah.

00:26:00.800 Um, another movie that makes a lot of the twin towers, strangely enough, is, um, is the second Crocodile Dundee movie.

00:26:06.320 Cause for those who know it, um, the movie actually starts with him living in New York and it's amazing.

00:26:10.900 You have all these movies that were filmed in like the late eighties, early nineties that, you know, the twin towers, obviously a huge landmark.

00:26:16.380 And then for those of us who lived through or saw nine 11 occurred, it's like, Ooh, those buildings aren't there anymore.

00:26:22.900 And that was a, that was a horrible thing that took place.

00:26:25.120 But like, but back to an innocent time when they never assumed it would happen, you know?

00:26:30.880 Mark, on that happy note, do you, do you have, Oh, sorry.

00:26:33.280 Klausen, did you have something there?

00:26:34.880 Oh, um, I was going to also piggy off of the, uh, the, the Donald Trump reference in, uh, Home Alone 2.

00:26:42.200 Um, what doesn't get enough love is, um, is Gremlins 2.

00:26:47.040 Now, Gremlins 1 is a little bit too gross to be on, um, on TV stations and 2 is like way too anarchic, uh, to even be in the same like ball, uh, ballpark as, uh, Gremlins 1.

00:27:04.560 But Gremlins 2 has, um, has the sort of, uh, big billionaire eccentric guy.

00:27:11.720 His name is, uh, Clamp.

00:27:13.320 He's supposed to be, uh, Donald Trump, but, uh, he's just, he's like an eccentric man child, um, who tries to become like a hero by getting rid of the Gremlins that have infested his high-tech, uh, skyscraper.

00:27:29.000 It's, um, it's underrated classic, in my opinion.

00:27:33.560 And yes, Christopher Lee is in Gremlins 2.

00:27:37.280 Um, he has like some, he has some like pun of a name.

00:27:42.180 I forget what it is.

00:27:43.240 It's like, um, I'll, I'll look it up real quick.

00:27:48.160 All right.

00:27:48.360 Well, while you research, uh, Mark, did you, uh, did I have a, I know you already said Wonderful Life, but anything else or is that the main one?

00:27:55.780 Uh, It's a Wonderful Life.

00:27:57.220 Uh, every, uh, you should watch it every year.

00:27:59.560 And, uh, guess what?

00:28:00.560 We live in Pottersville now, so it's more relevant than ever.

00:28:04.300 Too real.

00:28:05.060 It's become too real.

00:28:06.540 I found it.

00:28:07.880 Uh, Christopher Lee is Dr. Catheter.

00:28:10.440 He, um, he experiments with, he experiments with, uh, rare diseases and cloning and all sorts of shenanigans in, uh, Trump's basement.

00:28:20.820 And, uh, it's, it's a very, it's a very underrated movie, in my opinion.

00:28:25.760 Very nice.

00:28:28.040 Very nice.

00:28:29.300 All right.

00:28:29.700 Well, I think we got, uh, the Christmas movies knocked out here.

00:28:33.000 Uh, let's go ahead and take a look at maybe, let's see, we did traditions.

00:28:38.160 Uh, oh, uh, Mark sent me a great, uh, Christmas, uh, video.

00:28:42.640 I wanted to share with the stream here real quick.

00:28:45.440 This amazing feat, uh, here.

00:28:47.500 You gotta watch this.

00:28:50.660 Uh.

00:28:51.060 Uh.

00:28:51.160 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?

00:28:56.960 A well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper and delivered to your door.

00:29:03.680 A well-marbled ribeye you ordered without even leaving the kiddie pool.

00:29:24.460 Apparently this occurred at a, uh, a waffle house on Christmas Eve here.

00:29:29.760 Um, look at, look at that.

00:29:33.480 Powerful.

00:29:34.480 Just immediately stops, stares it down.

00:29:37.380 Not a moment's hesitation.

00:29:39.540 Just amazing.

00:29:41.900 Amazing work done there.

00:29:43.460 Have you proposed yet?

00:29:44.460 Still trying to track down her name, yeah.

00:29:48.720 Yeah.

00:29:49.580 Uh.

00:29:50.700 These, these, uh, I'm sure a lot of people in the, uh, audience have seen it.

00:29:54.900 Uh, Oran hadn't seen this yet, so I don't know.

00:29:56.700 Did you see the whole clip?

00:29:57.820 You probably didn't have time.

00:29:58.840 No, I just, I saw the one that you sent me there.

00:30:01.140 Yeah.

00:30:01.680 Yeah.

00:30:01.960 I mean, you don't need to see the clip.

00:30:03.580 You know what happens in the clip.

00:30:05.480 Yeah.

00:30:05.880 It's, it's, it's too long to show too.

00:30:07.500 It's like two minutes plus, but yeah, it's, you can enjoy that afterwards.

00:30:12.360 Waffle houses are awesome, by the way.

00:30:14.100 People said they're cursed places.

00:30:15.660 No, man.

00:30:16.660 It's, it's awesome.

00:30:17.780 It's, uh, you know, if you're there, you gotta remember, like, you might be there thinking

00:30:23.120 like, wow, you know, this is the kind of establishment I normally eat at.

00:30:26.860 Yeah.

00:30:27.460 That's yeah.

00:30:27.980 Cause you don't need it.

00:30:28.740 Yeah.

00:30:28.980 Cause nobody else is open at 4 a.m.

00:30:31.000 That's why you're there.

00:30:32.420 You gotta, um, they're not to settle.

00:30:36.240 I'm telling you, man.

00:30:37.620 Uh, what was that?

00:30:38.320 Was that, was that Atlanta?

00:30:39.580 That video?

00:30:40.140 Right.

00:30:40.720 I saw it.

00:30:41.360 I saw it claimed Atlanta and Austin.

00:30:44.820 Then, you know, honestly.

00:30:46.640 Yeah.

00:30:47.000 So like, if you go to the waffle house in Atlanta and versus like the waffle house in

00:30:52.580 Appalachia, you would get a different dining experience.

00:30:55.340 A little bit.

00:30:56.540 That stuff don't, that stuff don't happen in our waffle house.

00:30:59.780 I mean, people get rowdy, but not like the, not like these, these videos.

00:31:04.240 A little bit.

00:31:05.000 But I mean, uh, I don't know about that.

00:31:07.220 I mean, I live in, uh, I live further to a city than you and, you know, I've been in

00:31:13.940 waffle house late at night and, you know, it don't matter where you live, people, people

00:31:18.820 drank and do all kinds of stuff.

00:31:20.780 So, uh, you know, they always, they always end up there for the same reason, but yeah,

00:31:25.200 I think the degree of wild might change.

00:31:27.840 It will always be a place where some of the unexpected happens, but, uh, but it probably

00:31:33.660 can change significantly depending on where, uh, where your waffle housing.

00:31:38.040 So, so I think we should go around and say what our favorite, uh, item from the waffle

00:31:44.060 house menu is like, do you guys actually know off the top of your head?

00:31:48.740 Oh yeah.

00:31:49.440 I'm more of a, I'm more of a cracker barrel guy. 0.57

00:31:52.100 I mean, obviously like, it's been a long time since I've, I'm an old man at this point.

00:31:57.400 I don't get to too many late night waffle house sessions, you know?

00:32:00.040 So there was the last time I think I went to one where we went to an iron maiden concert.

00:32:04.340 That was the last time.

00:32:04.980 Oh, yes.

00:32:06.240 But one day you'll be old enough.

00:32:08.020 So as you, as a man, as you get older, you start waking up earlier and earlier.

00:32:11.580 That's true.

00:32:11.900 Yeah.

00:32:12.040 It all comes back around.

00:32:13.180 Yeah.

00:32:13.820 Eventually, once you get in like your sixties and stuff, you're getting up at like 3 AM.

00:32:17.640 And then, then you're back in the waffle house.

00:32:20.900 My, my grandfather used to wake up at like four, make himself a full breakfast of sausage

00:32:27.660 and bacon and gravy and biscuits and everything else.

00:32:31.620 Be done by six and go back to bed.

00:32:34.380 Like that's extremely based.

00:32:38.160 You know, it's one of those things like, you know, uh, you know, like when you're, when

00:32:44.080 you're, when you're three and you don't know where babies come from, we're kind of like

00:32:47.600 that about waking up at 4 AM.

00:32:49.080 I'm sure one day we'll be old enough and we'll all make sense.

00:32:51.760 Uh, but you know, I think, you know, who knows one day we'll know the secret of the, of being

00:32:57.400 awake at 4 AM.

00:32:58.560 Well, Bob, what is your, uh, what is your waffle house, uh, choice?

00:33:02.700 Uh, five ounce sirloin hash browns.

00:33:05.400 And I drowned the plate with like a half inch of a Worcester sauce.

00:33:10.020 Ah, very nice.

00:33:11.700 Mark, you get me a waffle house favorites or are you like me a Cracker Barrel man?

00:33:15.880 Well, I, I mean, yeah, I don't go to the waffle house a lot, but if I'm going, I'm getting

00:33:20.060 country ham and eggs, no doubt.

00:33:23.420 Clossington, you're, uh, I like my, uh, hash brown bowls.

00:33:27.960 So like the, uh, the sausage, egg and cheese, like it's, it's almost always out in like five

00:33:33.920 minutes.

00:33:34.720 And, uh, if you're out, uh, at 3 AM and, uh, you, you want some breakfast, you know, five

00:33:42.400 minutes, uh, they'll get you a hash brown bowl and you'll watch, you know, the wildlife

00:33:48.920 do whatever they do.

00:33:51.080 Um, I see that there are a few Brits in the, uh, the, in the live chat that don't know what

00:33:56.580 a waffle house is.

00:33:57.780 A waffle house is a, uh, cheap 24 seven serve, uh, restaurant that serves breakfast.

00:34:05.140 Um, it's sort of like a hub of, uh, misfits and, uh, and, and, um, and people up, uh, at the

00:34:16.200 early hours in the morning, uh, the staff always has, uh, room temperature IQ.

00:34:22.420 Usually there's a fight, uh, you know, there's like a, it sort of has a folksier vibe.

00:34:29.960 There are very simple items on the menu.

00:34:33.880 Um, it's a mix of people who stayed up real late and people who got up real early and that's

00:34:39.300 always fun.

00:34:40.340 There's a lot of bad decisions in the room.

00:34:42.460 That's it.

00:34:43.300 That's people who have chosen poorly in one way or another.

00:34:46.900 If you want a goth GF, you'll see them, uh, hanging around there sometimes, by the way,

00:34:51.640 American homeless GF.

00:34:53.240 See now you're just getting it up with half the internet at the waffle house.

00:34:56.020 Yeah, but you don't, you ever been in there and like six goth people walk in for no reason. 0.97

00:35:00.900 I don't know what's going on with that.

00:35:02.880 Uh, Merrick, what'd you say you had again?

00:35:05.520 Country ham and eggs.

00:35:06.660 Okay.

00:35:07.140 If you're the audience, if you're, if you're a British person, you come to America, go into 0.99

00:35:10.540 the, uh, go into the waffle house, go to the, uh, the big bathroom.

00:35:13.880 You will notice on the side of the toilet, there will be handles on the side.

00:35:19.100 You want to know what those, why, why they have handles on the side of a toilet waffle house

00:35:23.060 or the country egg and ham.

00:35:26.020 Questions will be answered.

00:35:29.640 Furious.

00:35:30.160 Do you have anything that relates to the waffle house?

00:35:32.300 I know this might not, this might be a uniquely American experience, but.

00:35:37.680 Yeah, very much.

00:35:38.680 So I just, uh, I hear waffle house and I'm just learning what waffle house is about because

00:35:42.680 it's actually one, um, one franchise we don't have, uh, down under.

00:35:46.580 So I'm learning about waffle house on the go and the reasons for having handles are next

00:35:50.980 to their toilets.

00:35:51.520 It's apparently, well, uh, the, the house of pancakes is international.

00:35:55.580 You got those, right?

00:35:58.700 Yeah.

00:35:59.660 Only, only on the East coast.

00:36:01.080 Cause, um, the South Australians and the West Australians are too poor to have them. 1.00

00:36:04.180 So.

00:36:05.120 Oh, that's, that sounds like our kind of people.

00:36:06.780 By the way, never seen anybody order waffles at the waffle house.

00:36:10.740 Never seen it.

00:36:12.480 Oh, I've gotten a waffle at the waffle house.

00:36:14.520 Are they all right?

00:36:15.660 No, but you can get it with peanut butter and banana, you know, so that's okay.

00:36:23.740 Gotcha.

00:36:24.140 What, uh, what are you, what about the rivalry between the international house of pancakes

00:36:28.780 and waffle house?

00:36:29.580 If you're, if you're opting into one, which way do you go?

00:36:34.000 Oh, I don't, I don't think that's on the map.

00:36:36.280 I think Denny's, uh, Denny's is up there in terms of like scumbaggery.

00:36:42.040 That's fair.

00:36:43.000 That's fair.

00:36:43.800 Yeah.

00:36:44.360 I don't know.

00:36:45.660 I think Denny's is like on a level all of its own, like somehow even more skeevy than,

00:36:51.800 uh, than waffle house.

00:36:53.160 I've never been into Denny's.

00:36:54.980 Oh, but Denny's is like, uh, you don't find Denny's in the deep rural South.

00:36:59.440 You'll find it in like, I mean, there's some, there's some real, uh, you go into like the,

00:37:03.620 the problem with it is like, this is the same clientele are eating there.

00:37:06.820 Someone says they're dirty.

00:37:07.620 Yeah.

00:37:08.120 Uh, is the, like a waffle house.

00:37:10.200 You're like basically eating in the kitchen.

00:37:11.880 It's like, it's set up like a, uh, like a kitchen on like a, on like a, uh, you know,

00:37:16.260 a crew boat or something you eat at Denny's.

00:37:18.420 They like, they think that this place is like an actual restaurant.

00:37:21.940 You know, it's got like padded chairs and there's like a dining table and stuff, but

00:37:26.320 you're eating in there with, uh, you know, people have done time.

00:37:30.160 Well, and Denny's is, uh, you're right.

00:37:32.620 It has pretensions to an actual restaurant.

00:37:34.540 So they don't just do breakfast.

00:37:37.040 They do a full menu of, of stuff and it, yeah, you, you, you don't know what happens in the

00:37:42.940 back.

00:37:43.240 You're just like, uh, you know, you're praying, you know, hoping, wishing you had another $5

00:37:47.140 to go somewhere else.

00:37:48.200 So, yeah, I think, I think in, I'm sorry, Paris.

00:37:52.380 No, no, no.

00:37:52.820 You go.

00:37:53.300 Cause it to know after you.

00:37:54.520 Like, I think the, uh, the IHOP versus, um, versus waffle house debacle is like, whether

00:38:00.600 you want to get diabetes from IHOP or high blood pressure from waffle house, like I think

00:38:07.520 that like whatever you're least, like less susceptible to is where you want to go.

00:38:13.140 Ooh, David's known in the audience as he saw a fight at the golden corral the other day.

00:38:16.920 God, I would have, I would have loved to be there with you, David.

00:38:20.720 There's nothing, nothing like a good fight at the golden corral.

00:38:23.120 It's dangerous.

00:38:23.900 Somebody's going to break a hip.

00:38:26.520 The rim and the mobility scooters into each other. 0.68

00:38:33.020 See, the only place, the only time I regularly went to those places when I was, when we were

00:38:36.600 lifting a lot in college, regular gym all the way in college and then they have the

00:38:39.700 all you can eat steak night.

00:38:41.140 And, you know, we just get like, you know, uh, uh, 10, you know, 19 year old guys who just

00:38:46.620 lifted for two hours and just go in and wreck the, the, all you can eat steak there.

00:38:50.780 Just make, make sure they lose money that day.

00:38:53.120 Just empty, just empty out the like pro protein Bain Marie's just stocked up or on.

00:38:58.380 Well, we went to the, we went to the, the, I don't know if you guys remember the Ryan's

00:39:02.260 steakhouse.

00:39:03.960 Yeah.

00:39:04.480 Yeah.

00:39:04.780 We didn't go to golden crowd.

00:39:06.020 We didn't have those.

00:39:06.720 We had the Ryan's. 0.53

00:39:07.560 So that's where we went for the all you can eat a steak night.

00:39:10.760 What'd you know about some Shoney's? 1.00

00:39:12.480 Yeah.

00:39:12.720 Yeah.

00:39:13.320 Shoney's man.

00:39:14.360 Uh, good times.

00:39:15.820 Good times.

00:39:16.180 One thing I have to ask about all that I learned about, you know, like in recent years

00:39:20.740 is that, um, see in a, in a, in Australia, we actually have a franchise called the, the,

00:39:25.460 the cheesecake shop, but it's actually legitimately a place where you go to buy cheesecakes and

00:39:29.960 just cakes in general.

00:39:30.780 Like that's all that they do.

00:39:32.000 They're essentially just like a, a wholesale distributor for people who want to buy, you

00:39:36.420 know, ready-made cakes.

00:39:37.340 And when, when Australians traveled to America, they'd actually realized that your cheesecakes

00:39:41.380 are basically like your cheesecake shops are essentially diners.

00:39:43.900 They're a whole different ball game to the ones that we have here.

00:39:47.080 Um, and we tend to like, sorry, sorry, sorry, cheesecake factory.

00:39:50.900 Yeah.

00:39:53.320 So, so cheesecake factory as a restaurant is like, it's niche is as like a restaurant outside

00:40:03.220 of a mall or outside of a strip mall.

00:40:06.180 Yeah.

00:40:06.780 Uh, they're known for having obscenely large menus where you don't actually know what to

00:40:12.760 pick from.

00:40:14.440 Um, there's girls you got to take. 0.66

00:40:16.960 So if you're, if you're dating a girl, that's like, you ever date a girl, it's like, she's 0.72

00:40:21.060 in college and she's taking some major, you know, where she thinks she's going to be like,

00:40:26.660 you know, uh, she thinks she's going to be wealthy, but she's not, you know, she's going 1.00

00:40:30.340 to be like, uh, uh, that sort of aspirational, like little, it's like half college students

00:40:35.740 now, bro.

00:40:36.820 I know you're just describing college students, but there's just a certain type of, of middle

00:40:40.800 class aspiration that ends up at, at the librarian.

00:40:45.280 Yeah.

00:40:46.180 Yeah.

00:40:47.280 So, so it's like you spend like an afternoon at the mall and then you want her to feel

00:40:52.660 like she's like going to an upscale place, but it's not an upscale place.

00:40:58.000 Like that's where you take her to.

00:40:59.580 So Cheesecake Factory try, it has the aesthetic of trying to be upscale without being upscale,

00:41:04.880 so to speak.

00:41:06.040 Yes.

00:41:07.000 Oh.

00:41:07.480 And they overdo it.

00:41:09.760 Yeah.

00:41:09.940 Yeah.

00:41:10.080 Yeah.

00:41:10.880 Okay.

00:41:11.100 There you go.

00:41:12.260 Yeah.

00:41:12.460 I've had friends who really like Cheesecake Factory and I don't get it.

00:41:15.060 Like they're like, we have to drive an hour to the Cheesecake Factory and you get there

00:41:18.040 and it's just a massive menu where everything is poorly done.

00:41:21.620 Uh, there's, there's like three things you'd actually want to eat there cause they know how

00:41:25.060 to do it.

00:41:25.320 And the rest is just like, you know, good luck.

00:41:27.380 Hope, hope the cook remembers how to do that one. 0.90

00:41:29.940 Or microwave it.

00:41:30.800 I don't know.

00:41:31.480 Trying to bring the Australian guy into this, although not really.

00:41:34.780 Uh, let me like another place a lot like this.

00:41:37.440 And it's so weird.

00:41:38.260 Uh, you ever go to like the last, every time I've ever been driving past an Outback Steakhouse,

00:41:43.240 that line is wrapped around the building, like three, four times, like people just doing

00:41:48.740 anything they can to get in there to eat, uh, whatever, you know, the Bloomin' Onion

00:41:53.840 or what's up with that?

00:41:55.800 Yeah.

00:41:55.900 I have no idea because it's, it's, it's funny how there are not, there are places in the

00:42:01.000 U S that do this and even Canada where they sort of have steakhouses that try to be Australian

00:42:05.300 steakhouses, like I say, like Outback, whatever.

00:42:07.420 And we actually have that franchise here.

00:42:09.100 We call it, um, we call it Outback Jacks.

00:42:10.860 It's the same sort of thing.

00:42:12.380 Wow.

00:42:12.540 Our diners try so hard to be American steakhouses, but you, your steakhouses try to be Australian 1.00

00:42:17.660 steakhouses.

00:42:18.160 This is really kind of interesting sort of mirror image going on between the two countries.

00:42:23.080 Yeah.

00:42:23.640 So I, I like Jacks as a, sorry, go, go.

00:42:26.340 No, no, no, go ahead.

00:42:27.700 I was just going to say like, um, unless you're buying like the sirloins or the New York strips,

00:42:31.900 everything else is tough.

00:42:33.260 Like all the steaks are really poorly cooked, which is ironic because the steakhouse, you'd

00:42:37.800 think it's like, it's like the whole, you have one job and that's to cook nice steak.

00:42:42.600 And most of the steaks are not tender, which is defeats the purpose of going after steak

00:42:46.720 when one could cook a better steak at home.

00:42:49.040 Um, sorry, Oran, you were saying?

00:42:51.360 Oh, I was just going to say, I finally experienced this.

00:42:53.680 Like I had this surreal moment because, because we, uh, went to Europe, uh, here, uh, a few

00:42:59.180 weeks ago.

00:43:00.000 Yeah.

00:43:00.100 Yeah.

00:43:00.480 Yeah.

00:43:00.920 And so we're in England and they have like authentic American cuisine, you know, places.

00:43:06.280 It's very, very surreal.

00:43:08.040 They had this, um, they had this, uh, fair going on in Hyatt park, which was weird because

00:43:13.260 it's like this winter festival and you go there and it's a carnival, right?

00:43:16.500 But like, it's the nicest carnival you've ever been to.

00:43:19.740 Like the rides don't feel like they were put together by someone on meth.

00:43:22.500 Um, and like all the, all the food is, is actually like of, of decent quality and like, they

00:43:29.180 have like, you know, really real authentic American cuisine and it's very surreal, which

00:43:33.160 it's odd because like they have like KFCs and Burger Kings around, like for some reason,

00:43:37.840 Burger King, very popular, um, outside of the United States, even though most people in

00:43:42.400 the United States don't seem to like it.

00:43:43.600 Uh, but, but, you know, they have like those, the, those fast food places, restaurants, uh,

00:43:49.300 you know, of course you're like scattered throughout England and in France.

00:43:52.980 Uh, but then they have like these authentic American cuisine things.

00:43:55.840 And so, yeah, I got to have that weird experience of, of seeing, you know, people getting excited

00:44:01.360 about going to an American restaurant.

00:44:03.480 Kenny Rogers roast roasters is dead to America, but live in a well, it's internationally.

00:44:08.000 People love Kenny Rogers roasters.

00:44:09.660 There you go.

00:44:11.240 What's in stingies?

00:44:13.600 Oh, sorry, I'm just, just quickly, I'm just going to say that what's interesting is when

00:44:17.620 you actually travel in continental Europe and particularly in places say like France

00:44:21.920 or Italy, they tend to be quite food snobbish.

00:44:24.300 It's amazing where they'll put, um, say McDonald's in, in places, for instance, um, there's a McDonald's

00:44:30.040 that's quite close to trivia fountain in Rome.

00:44:32.380 There's another one really close to Milan train station, which is like a really big, um, it's

00:44:36.780 like the central station, um, in, in Milan.

00:44:38.900 And it's very close to like this sort of commercial sort of eating restaurant area.

00:44:43.600 Um, and how there's like this dimorphism between young people who literally just want to go

00:44:49.580 to sort of samples like, Oh, it's a close thing we have to an American burger.

00:44:52.560 And then there's a different set of people.

00:44:56.140 Often they tend to be of older, slightly older generation, but that sort of scowl at people

00:45:00.980 committing like food treason.

00:45:02.460 And it's like, why are you going to like pro sort of, you know, um, GAE for food, you

00:45:09.300 know, slop.

00:45:10.460 It's like, no, we have the best restaurants in this city.

00:45:12.680 Why are you going here?

00:45:13.540 And the young people like, Oh, we just want a burger and chips.

00:45:15.520 Like, it's really interesting that there are two different groups of people that either

00:45:18.580 do go or don't go like it or hate it.

00:45:20.640 It's very evident in Europe.

00:45:22.820 Yeah.

00:45:23.260 There, there, it's very jarring that they just drop McDonald's into like classic buildings

00:45:27.880 in England and France.

00:45:29.240 So like, you'll just be walking by and there, you know, there's all these, you know, little

00:45:33.120 bakeries and shops and things.

00:45:35.320 And then just like in this 500 year old building, someone has just dropped a McDonald's and they

00:45:42.160 keep the facade of the building because it's, you know, it's classic and it's built in, but

00:45:46.000 there's just like a McDonald's.

00:45:47.320 It's very, it's very weird.

00:45:49.480 Hey, look, if we have to, if we have to pronounce like burrito and chorizo the right way, he's got

00:45:54.160 to say a burger and fries, not a burger and chips.

00:45:56.420 Yeah.

00:45:56.580 Chips.

00:45:57.880 I'm just saying, say, say it correctly.

00:46:01.280 So, so, so, so shall I say burger and fries?

00:46:04.800 Is that better?

00:46:05.840 Yes.

00:46:06.420 Thank you.

00:46:07.420 Thank you.

00:46:07.880 You're welcome.

00:46:09.360 What's up with, um, like Asian countries and KFC?

00:46:13.680 Like every, every year I see that, like, um, like, no, I don't.

00:46:19.740 Anyone want to tell them the Japanese KFC story?

00:46:24.000 People know this one.

00:46:24.940 Am I the only one who knows this one?

00:46:26.420 I don't know.

00:46:26.660 I just know they eat it on Christmas.

00:46:28.580 Yeah.

00:46:29.000 So, so what happened, and this is, this is all a myth that's been handed down to me.

00:46:33.960 So I don't have the, maybe I'm going to just spin a tall tale, but I believe this is the

00:46:37.860 case.

00:46:38.140 So, you know, post, post-World War II, obviously, like, you know, the, the protectorate of Japan,

00:46:43.520 um, is, is a colony.

00:46:45.680 And like, they start, uh, adopting Christmas, just like we started adopting karate and, but

00:46:51.040 it's like a Christian holiday.

00:46:52.040 So they don't have any traditions attached to Japan.

00:46:54.980 Uh, you know, there's no, there's no particular, uh, uh, uh, tradition or, or, you know, anything

00:47:02.360 that they have in the context, but they want to start celebrating this, this holiday Christmas

00:47:06.720 because it seems cool.

00:47:07.660 And so like some genius in the KFC of Japan marketing agency was like, well, you know

00:47:13.200 what Americans do on Christmas, they eat KFC. 0.98

00:47:17.460 And so like, they did this massive marketing campaign, like Coca-Cola with Santa Claus.

00:47:22.120 Like they basically invented KFC at Christmas in Japan.

00:47:25.960 And so like, to this day, like part of Christmas tradition in Japan, even though there's like

00:47:31.760 no real, you know, connection to Christianity or the actual holiday, kind of like America

00:47:36.820 at this point, uh, that they, uh, they, I know that one hurts.

00:47:40.780 Uh, they go out and they get a bucket of KFC.

00:47:44.140 So like, like, you know how like the honey baked ham stores start popping up right before

00:47:47.640 like Thanksgiving or Christmas around here.

00:47:49.360 So you can order a honey baked ham.

00:47:50.940 Well, that KFCs start popping up and like train stations and stuff where you can like pre-order

00:47:55.700 your, your, your bucket of KFC, uh, so that you're, you and your family can properly

00:48:00.220 celebrate, uh, Christmas.

00:48:02.200 You know, that phrase, uh, cultural Marxism, whatever, uh, the only way I can make that

00:48:09.140 make sense in my head of like, think about how that, cause you know, it's like this crazy

00:48:13.020 conspiracy theory used to, you couldn't say it.

00:48:15.140 Remember?

00:48:15.560 Frankfurt, Kentucky school, right?

00:48:18.720 Remember this Kentucky school, it used to be something where you weren't allowed to

00:48:22.960 say now, not so much, but, um, the only way I can think about it is just thinking about

00:48:26.560 what we did to Japan after World War II.

00:48:28.880 Uh, cause that makes sense.

00:48:30.260 You know what I mean?

00:48:30.560 Like we just like, uh, we just like totally set up their culture.

00:48:35.760 Like guys sat around the table and did that, uh, to them.

00:48:38.240 So I get it.

00:48:39.140 You can do that.

00:48:39.840 It really happens.

00:48:40.960 Well, I mean, they, they play baseball.

00:48:42.740 Um, they, they can't see and they, they, and they work, uh, harder than Americans. 0.97

00:48:48.140 So like, okay.

00:48:49.580 So, so this is like a, like a counterfactual, but we need to actually impart something onto

00:48:54.420 the one Japanese person listening to this, to the stream.

00:48:57.740 Um, if we could go back in time and replace the, the staple holiday meal of Japan from KFC,

00:49:06.320 like first off KFC is awful.

00:49:08.740 Yes.

00:49:09.440 Um, we need to replace it with something else.

00:49:12.600 What do we replace it with?

00:49:14.360 Or, or at least Publix, you know?

00:49:16.280 How are you talking?

00:49:19.040 All right.

00:49:19.260 So, so we got one Popeye's, uh, like superior to KFC in every way.

00:49:25.620 Absolutely.

00:49:26.380 Have you had the ranch fried chicken at Publix?

00:49:30.500 No, I haven't.

00:49:31.760 So they, I don't think they do this anymore, but the, but they, they used, they, for a

00:49:36.140 limited time, they would like dust the fried chicken with a ranch.

00:49:39.220 He hates ranch.

00:49:40.000 He's not going to do that.

00:49:41.000 Uh, I can, I can eat some ranch.

00:49:42.740 I can eat some ranch.

00:49:43.400 It's fine.

00:49:43.900 Normally.

00:49:44.260 Really?

00:49:44.700 I normally, uh, uh, you know, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm having wings, I'll get the blue

00:49:48.680 cheese, but, uh, you know, I can say that I wouldn't say this on the air because I know

00:49:52.420 people would go buy them before I could have you, they sold, you know, like, uh, you know,

00:49:56.520 the prison sandals, the slides.

00:50:00.640 Publix used to sell these bad-ass, uh, green, uh, prison sandals with Publix on them.

00:50:05.840 They were awesome.

00:50:06.700 They're out.

00:50:07.220 They haven't, I've been emailing them for years and they're like, we're never going to get,

00:50:10.660 get the, the Publix prison shoes back in.

00:50:12.940 So you're the one guy.

00:50:14.960 Yeah.

00:50:15.860 Sorry.

00:50:16.320 Classic.

00:50:16.660 It was trying to get, I have to ask what is a Publix?

00:50:20.120 Oh, you're from the North. 0.98

00:50:21.660 Yeah.

00:50:22.060 Unfortunate.

00:50:22.860 Um, well, well, Hey, Hey, Hey.

00:50:25.220 Okay.

00:50:25.420 So Florida is not actually in the South.

00:50:28.340 It's like, come on, come on, come on.

00:50:31.000 I can take you some places.

00:50:32.500 So North Florida is in the South.

00:50:35.040 South Florida is in the North.

00:50:36.740 That's, that's the thing about Florida.

00:50:38.060 The further South you go, the more North it gets.

00:50:40.580 Well, I mean, it's true, but like the most Southern place I've ever, like, uh, the places

00:50:46.760 that's most like, uh, if you go down there in South Florida, like Polk County, all those

00:50:52.600 insane stories about the ridiculous rednecks they're on Polk County that's deep down South. 0.94

00:50:58.420 I had friends, uh, I lived in, I lived in, in South Florida, Fort Lauderdale, Miami for

00:51:03.580 a while.

00:51:03.880 And, uh, I knew, I knew people that rode horses, had farms and they lived in, I can't think

00:51:09.960 of the name right off to my top of my head anymore, but it was like, it's like right

00:51:13.400 outside of Miami.

00:51:14.540 So, I mean, just, uh, the rednecks are in the mix down there. 1.00

00:51:18.080 There's a lot of kinds of different kinds of people, but it's not like you're not in

00:51:21.320 the South.

00:51:21.760 If you're, if you're in, in Miami, if you escape the I four 75 corridor, you're, you're

00:51:27.420 going to run into rednecks real quick. 1.00

00:51:28.840 Yeah.

00:51:29.460 Yeah, for sure.

00:51:30.360 Polk County for people in the audience.

00:51:31.640 The Polk County is like, uh, uh, I wrote an article in, um, and, uh, uh, I am 1776.

00:51:38.040 I don't know if they put that in there, but I was like, this is where like the oblivion

00:51:41.220 gate is.

00:51:41.660 Like every person you meet that's totally insane in Florida, you ask where they're from.

00:51:46.060 They're all from Polk County.

00:51:47.080 I now not being, if I'm not being funny, I think it's the poorest place in Florida

00:51:52.480 and perhaps in, in, uh, I don't know, the East coast or something.

00:51:56.920 It's, it's, there's nothing to do there.

00:51:59.680 I thought the panhandle had a really weird reputation.

00:52:03.380 Yeah.

00:52:03.820 It's South Georgia.

00:52:05.140 Yeah.

00:52:05.520 I mean, uh, it's South Alabama.

00:52:07.180 Really?

00:52:07.820 That's, that's really my, my world.

00:52:09.820 But, um, you know, there's, there's, there's military bases and stuff.

00:52:13.320 There's some, there's something to do.

00:52:14.560 You get in the middle of like, remember, this is this, like, uh, if you go down there,

00:52:18.540 we're like, we're talking about in the middle of Everglades, the swamp, there's nothing in

00:52:22.740 there except for, uh, crazy people.

00:52:24.820 So do you know how you, uh, how you kill a gator if you get, uh, cleared for it? 0.99

00:52:30.520 If you, if you win the lottery and you get to kill gator during season?

00:52:33.200 Oh yeah.

00:52:33.960 Uh, yeah.

00:52:34.760 Three 57 between his eyes.

00:52:36.460 Well, no, there's a legal requirement of how you, how you get them.

00:52:39.740 It's the main stick.

00:52:40.700 Like, right.

00:52:41.660 So you're, you have to, that's a shotgun shell on the end of a, on like the end of a stick

00:52:46.640 and you got to like pull the, you know, pull the mechanism and drop it and drop the shell

00:52:51.400 on them.

00:52:51.760 And that's, uh, I believe that's how, yeah, they, they do stuff like that.

00:52:56.200 The cattle and stuff.

00:52:59.020 Yeah.

00:52:59.760 But I'm absolutely terrified of like these, uh, these gators. 1.00

00:53:03.480 Uh, I, I almost ended up moving down to Jacksonville earlier this year.

00:53:08.660 Uh, and I did a bunch of research on how to get a commercial scuba diving license just

00:53:14.700 for my job.

00:53:16.100 And there are a ton of pictures of just gators sitting on the bottom of the ocean, you know,

00:53:21.980 just looking up at a poor little, poor little diver.

00:53:26.580 Who's just putting on his, uh, his flippers.

00:53:29.420 And, um, did you ever see that?

00:53:31.440 There was a series of shows with people who would play with gators and it was, you know,

00:53:36.280 people from the gator farms and stuff.

00:53:38.160 And then somebody came out with a show that killed all that stuff.

00:53:41.380 I don't know.

00:53:41.720 It was, I think it was called swamp people where this guy was like, he gets in the water

00:53:45.560 with the gators because a gator on land, they get tired really fast.

00:53:48.980 They're cold blooded and stuff.

00:53:50.040 This guy was just a psycho and he would, he would go swim with the gators and stuff.

00:53:53.280 And that killed like all the other shows like, Oh, we, we walk around with the gator.

00:53:56.840 No, this guy gets swims with him.

00:53:58.260 He's insane.

00:53:59.600 I don't know.

00:54:00.420 Like a friend of mine who's, uh, from Louisiana said that, um, like if you're on the bayou

00:54:06.360 in like a boat, uh, these gators will tell you by like 50 feet and just look at you. 0.97

00:54:14.100 Like you see the gator, the gator sees you, you're looking at each other.

00:54:18.020 And there's a sort of mutual understanding that as long as you're in the boat, you're

00:54:22.240 fine.

00:54:23.040 But as soon as you hit the water, you're the gators and it's over.

00:54:27.080 And they're these like really, they're these really brash Creek, like creatures that, uh, 1.00

00:54:34.460 just know exactly what they are.

00:54:36.100 They're just dinosaurs.

00:54:38.540 The thing is they can move really fast for a couple of seconds.

00:54:42.240 Uh, if they're out of the water, I don't know about in the water, but I wouldn't want

00:54:45.100 to be in the water with them.

00:54:45.960 Uh, I assume them telling the boats, you know, like, uh, sharks and stuff do that.

00:54:49.960 Cause, uh, they'll try to, they try to steal what you're catching and stuff like that.

00:54:54.020 But yeah.

00:54:55.280 When I was a teenager had a friend who's like, uh, dad had a jet ski or whatever, took us

00:55:00.560 out to the lake and yeah, you just had gators all along the side of the lake.

00:55:03.820 And you just, you know, if you came off the jet ski, you got real good at getting back

00:55:06.740 on again.

00:55:07.120 Cause they all dunked into the lake the minute you hit the water.

00:55:09.360 So, you know, it's, it's just a part of life down here.

00:55:12.700 I've caught one on a line and my, my friend's backyard, you just cut the line.

00:55:16.040 It's no big deal.

00:55:16.460 I, I grew up in a shrimp boat and I lived, I lived in the ocean, like my entire youth.

00:55:22.640 And the only thing I was really afraid of was, uh, is jellyfish.

00:55:27.320 And it's just really cause it hurts you.

00:55:29.220 Uh, but like, you know, you look at statistics and stuff, the ocean is not really dangerous.

00:55:34.100 I mean, uh, but you definitely can get, get your ass stung.

00:55:38.120 Uh, but yeah, I mean these things, they, they don't really do anything to people very often.

00:55:42.660 Well, now that we've worked our way through, uh, Florida's, uh, wildlife, uh, wanted, wanted

00:55:49.700 to, uh, get into a little bit of year in review before we go, we don't have to get like super

00:55:54.420 political or anything, cause this is mainly a cozy stream, but, uh, wanted, wanted to get

00:55:58.900 people's opinions on kind of what the biggest, uh, event of the year was to you.

00:56:04.100 What do you think was the biggest story, uh, of the year?

00:56:07.620 I'm going to go ahead and steal, uh, Ukraine, uh, early on, uh, just. 1.00

00:56:12.660 You know, uh, since it's my show, I get to take the easy one first.

00:56:15.920 Um, but, uh, I would say that that one was probably one of, one of the biggest, uh, ones

00:56:20.760 this year, even though I don't think it had the biggest direct impact on, uh, in some people's

00:56:25.260 minds, it has, has kind of had the most lingering impact throughout kind of our economy and everything

00:56:31.060 that's been going on.

00:56:32.400 But, uh, Bob, what do you think?

00:56:34.460 What would be your, your big story of the year?

00:56:36.500 Uh, inflation and it's not like a thing that punches this year, like a war or something,

00:56:43.960 but you know, uh, this would be, if we have another year like this, then we will have something

00:56:51.640 like the seventies again.

00:56:53.320 And, you know, now you're talking about a story that's not even a year story.

00:56:57.160 That's just like, you know, uh, a malaise era.

00:56:59.900 So, yep, definitely.

00:57:02.560 How about the, uh, the end of Ropey Wade and, um, yeah, and the immediate, uh, political

00:57:09.800 fallout of that, um, like there's a whole lot of work to be done on that front.

00:57:15.880 I feel like that one kind of had is kind of the back burner due to the like implications,

00:57:21.780 I guess, down the road.

00:57:22.780 Like there's, there's a bunch up front, but I think from a lot of people that's fallen behind,

00:57:28.080 but is probably, like you said, something that will, that will crop back up again here

00:57:32.540 when, when different pieces of legislation thing hit the fan, maybe you could tell us,

00:57:36.880 uh, what's something I've wondered.

00:57:38.300 I mean, so obviously this didn't change anything.

00:57:41.100 Uh, is, is there a lot of abortions that didn't happen because that decision yet?

00:57:48.080 Hard to know.

00:57:48.920 Right.

00:57:49.180 Like, I think the, I mean, I'm certain there has been some amount, I mean, a lot, obviously

00:57:53.020 we had all the companies like, well, we'll, you know, helicopter you in.

00:57:56.740 We'll, you know, we'll send the Huey to get you to a, to a different state.

00:58:00.320 So, I mean, how, how much of a deterrent is that, you know, we'll really have to see the

00:58:05.800 net, let the numbers roll in over the next couple of years.

00:58:07.800 Right.

00:58:08.080 There is value in keeping these things out of your state's borders.

00:58:12.840 Even if, you know, even if people can just go across state lines to do it, you're not

00:58:17.120 allowing it in your state.

00:58:18.360 And like this, this applies to a lot of these different things.

00:58:20.880 Yeah.

00:58:21.320 You can't be right now.

00:58:22.560 You don't have the power to stop it everywhere, but you can keep it away from your people. 1.00

00:58:26.420 Yeah.

00:58:27.080 And I, I wasn't downplaying that.

00:58:28.580 The main reason I asked is I used to live basically, I used to live near an abortion 1.00

00:58:32.840 clinic in, in Texas.

00:58:34.500 So I knew, you know, I could see them out there and stuff.

00:58:37.140 And I wonder, I wonder what they're doing.

00:58:38.940 I wonder if that's still going on in Texas.

00:58:42.240 Furious, what would be your biggest story of the year?

00:58:45.900 Um, I actually had to double check because for some reason I thought that, um, I thought

00:58:50.960 the fall of Kabul was actually early this year, but it was in fact last year.

00:58:54.340 So, cause I, I kind of thought that that was an interesting, um, I suppose that did lead

00:58:58.300 to perhaps the outbreak of Ukraine, Russia thing, which you have cited, but no, it was

00:59:04.340 actually last year.

00:59:05.020 So that's a non-goer.

00:59:05.940 Um, I think that there's an interesting inter, inter, um, sort of interrelation between,

00:59:12.820 you know, what, about, um, what, two months ago, we were sort of seeing these memes about,

00:59:19.220 you know, Trump's truth, social Elon's Twitter and ye with his, um, with his app.

00:59:25.060 Well, he ended up buying parlor, did he, or was it, was that, I think if, I think they

00:59:28.780 fell through my, my, uh, my, my, uh, conspiracy theory is that, uh, ye saw the, uh, I'm just

00:59:36.140 calling him Kanye.

00:59:36.860 I'm not doing that stupid thing.

00:59:37.880 Uh, when, when he, uh, when he saw the, uh, uh, numbers for parlor and he actually like

00:59:44.140 figured out what he was getting into, that's why he started popping off on all the, all

00:59:47.360 the programs open to like, like if I get crazy enough, maybe they'll, they'll dump me and

00:59:52.100 I don't have to actually buy, buy this thing that that's my, my conspiracy theory.

00:59:55.960 The subject of the house of Windsor and it's not the queen.

01:00:01.600 Yeah.

01:00:02.060 It has to be right.

01:00:04.480 That's a good one.

01:00:05.560 That's quite fair.

01:00:06.500 I was going to say, there's a few things that have happened and I think, um, yeah, that's

01:00:09.440 actually quite a, quite a good call.

01:00:11.160 But, uh, but yeah, I think, um, I think there's, uh, I think those couple of things

01:00:14.900 definitely rank, um, up there.

01:00:16.520 I just think, um, with the sort of Twitter thing, you know, we've seen thankfully quite

01:00:22.060 a few friends have, um, been reinstated.

01:00:24.520 Um, you know, it's nice to see Closington actually be on Twitter for more than 10 minutes,

01:00:28.000 which is, but you know, we've obviously seen many accounts reinstated and particularly like,

01:00:32.700 you know, we think of the events of last year revolving the, um, you know, around the,

01:00:37.120 the, the cuff and the, you know, what associated with it, you know, it's actually nice seeing

01:00:40.840 people who were trying to speak out actually be reinstated, whether it's damage control, whether

01:00:45.260 it's authentic, we don't know.

01:00:46.540 But I think, um, I think this Twitter story has a lot more, um, nooks and crannies, you

01:00:52.160 know, turns left and right before we get to sort of like an end destination.

01:00:55.680 So it'll be interesting to see how it transpires into 2023.

01:00:58.940 Um, actually just in the chat, someone did also mention that the FTX scandal, but whether

01:01:02.700 something actually comes of it, who knows?

01:01:04.740 Um, you know, when you sort of hear that, um, Mr. Bankman Freed is going to the same prison

01:01:09.080 as Jeffrey Epstein, I don't think it bodes well for that man.

01:01:12.000 So yeah, watch this space.

01:01:15.840 Good time for him to clarify that he does not have any information that would lead to

01:01:19.540 the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

01:01:21.280 Exactly.

01:01:22.120 Also, also does not, uh, does not work out alone with weights on the back of his neck.

01:01:27.660 Yes.

01:01:28.180 Yes.

01:01:29.920 Mark, what about you?

01:01:30.980 What's, what's your top story of, uh, of the year?

01:01:33.840 The, uh, the, uh, the appearance of empirical evidence that voting does not matter.

01:01:42.000 The very best we had, we had, uh, every indication, but it's nice to have the goods.

01:01:47.520 I, you know, whatever people say, yeah, obviously they're sure.

01:01:52.060 No, I wasn't sure.

01:01:53.860 I wasn't quite sure about that until 2022.

01:01:57.100 Now.

01:01:57.360 Yeah.

01:01:57.820 Yeah.

01:01:58.000 It doesn't matter.

01:01:58.740 Don't worry about it.

01:02:00.260 Don't worry.

01:02:01.620 You're pretty little heads about it.

01:02:02.900 You don't need to worry about campaign strategies and stuff like that.

01:02:05.640 None of that matters.

01:02:06.540 It's unless you live in Florida or Ohio, at least.

01:02:11.160 Uh, so by the way, so, you know, that, that kind of narrows things down for someone like

01:02:15.560 me, I know Ohio did the same stuff, right?

01:02:17.760 But I know in Florida, uh, you can't, uh, you can't really do hardly anything that sort

01:02:23.040 of gets into weird stuff.

01:02:24.720 So this will be like, uh, you know, if I have any interest in politics, it would probably

01:02:29.360 like real politics that would be in state politics, because, uh, I think Florida is

01:02:34.340 pretty, pretty, pretty, uh, doing awesome now in that department.

01:02:38.100 Well, and that'll be a big question going forward, right?

01:02:40.640 Is like the, the states that are willing to protect their elections, there are so few

01:02:44.800 of them, but the ones that are willing to protect elections are the ones where change

01:02:48.500 might actually occur.

01:02:50.260 Um, as we're in many, the, the won't even the, you know, we've, we've talked a lot about,

01:02:55.120 well, if you're going to participate in electoral politics, go local, right?

01:02:58.360 Go to your state, go to your, your school board, sheriff, that kind of thing.

01:03:02.760 Um, but you know, when you have, you know, Zucker bucks in the DNC, you know, getting involved

01:03:09.620 in the, you know, every County's election apparatus, that can be very difficult to even

01:03:14.940 believe that, that that'll take action.

01:03:16.700 So there is a big difference, uh, in which states are willing to actually step up and,

01:03:21.740 and, you know, protect their voting apparatus.

01:03:24.120 I would, I would be very happy.

01:03:25.300 We, we could reach a compromise situation where, uh, all the other states took the California

01:03:30.080 model.

01:03:30.440 And then we have like, you know, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama,

01:03:35.220 Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, we could sort of, uh, move to a different

01:03:40.080 model, you know, get the band back together.

01:03:42.900 I think West Virginia would be, would pick a different side this time around.

01:03:47.380 Uh, well, we need, we need, uh, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky to, uh, be

01:03:52.900 the go-between.

01:03:53.720 It'll be, it'll be like the, uh, the DMZ, like in, uh, like in North Korea.

01:03:57.360 Yeah.

01:03:57.800 That's the, the 32nd parallel or 38th parallel.

01:04:00.820 Baltimore's already the DMZ, man.

01:04:04.400 Not very demilitarized, but I hear you.

01:04:07.220 Um, okay.

01:04:09.020 Okay.

01:04:09.460 Hold, hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:04:11.420 Baltimore has a really nice heart, a really nice harbor.

01:04:14.160 Um, the rest of it, yeah, yeah, you don't want that, but okay.

01:04:21.120 The like outer, like city limits, Baltimore, you can have that.

01:04:27.360 Uh, the Yankees will take the Harbor.

01:04:29.300 Thank you very much.

01:04:30.440 Uh, we'll also take Annapolis because it's sort of coast guard and, uh, Navy are, are at.

01:04:36.220 So you can take the rest of it.

01:04:38.540 I'm sorry.

01:04:39.240 Is, uh, did you invite a blue belly onto this podcast?

01:04:42.240 It's like, I can, I can vouch for Clossington.

01:04:46.160 He's, he's, he's, he's, yeah.

01:04:47.820 Uh, just despite the many strikes against him, he is, he is good people.

01:04:51.720 I think the Johnny reps are getting uppity.

01:04:53.780 Uh, Santa needs to send them, send them some more coal and, uh, put them down again.

01:04:58.900 I thought we were dealing with a copperhead around here.

01:05:01.260 Um, by the way, someone, someone, the audience brought up the Disney story.

01:05:05.320 I think that is, uh, uh, that, that is big, which by the way, I don't know.

01:05:10.160 I just want to drop this right now.

01:05:11.420 I heard a conspiracy theory on the street or on the street in real life.

01:05:16.420 Someone told me a conspiracy theory about the Disney thing.

01:05:18.740 And it was this, uh, so this is the first time this is hitting the internet.

01:05:22.320 Cause I don't know.

01:05:23.940 No other conspiracies on the internet.

01:05:25.480 Go ahead.

01:05:26.240 Uh, so I was told that you, uh, do you guys know about the, um, uh, the new CEO of, of

01:05:32.440 new and old CEO of, uh, of Disney.

01:05:35.760 They rehired the old guy back.

01:05:37.260 Uh, what was his name Irish fella?

01:05:39.600 I believe.

01:05:40.900 Oh yeah.

01:05:41.460 Yeah.

01:05:41.700 Yeah.

01:05:41.940 Yeah.

01:05:42.100 That's unlikely.

01:05:42.920 I was heard.

01:05:43.780 I heard that this, that him leaving and going back was something that he masterminded arranged

01:05:49.140 arranged.

01:05:49.880 He brought on someone to make all the painful cuts that he didn't want to do, uh, that he

01:05:55.640 would look bad on him and make all the employees hate him.

01:05:58.100 So, so he was like, well, I'm retiring from Disney.

01:06:00.760 They brought this other guy on who did all this horrible cut cutting and stuff that made all

01:06:05.160 the employees hate him.

01:06:06.260 He comes back.

01:06:07.080 He's the hero riding back.

01:06:08.560 And I don't know.

01:06:08.940 That sounded just so wonderfully, uh, back of belly.

01:06:11.600 Uh, and I liked that kind of stuff.

01:06:13.260 So, uh, I don't know.

01:06:14.200 It's a conspiracy.

01:06:15.040 Are you talking about Bob Iger?

01:06:17.160 Yes.

01:06:18.180 Oh, he's, um, like I know of him mostly as a sort of suit figure.

01:06:23.480 Um, like he's always been much more of a, um, like in mergers and acquisitions guy rather

01:06:30.460 than a, um, a micromanaging the talent kind of guy.

01:06:35.780 Um, well, yeah, but I mean, uh, you know, Disney likes to likes a king that's there for

01:06:40.860 a long time and stuff.

01:06:41.840 And I, anyways, uh, the last guy, the guy that was in between Iger's things, uh, he did

01:06:47.960 a lot of brutal cutting, like to people that clean up the parks and stuff like that.

01:06:52.680 And lots of employees and cutting people's salary and stuff.

01:06:56.280 And so all the people that work at Disney and all the Disney lifers hated his guts.

01:07:02.000 Uh, so yeah.

01:07:05.080 Well, before, uh, we move on to the super chats, cause there are a decent amount stacking up,

01:07:09.500 uh, one, one more question before you go for you guys, and I'll give you a second to

01:07:12.960 think about it.

01:07:13.640 Uh, what is your favorite piece of content that you saw this year from, from maybe this

01:07:21.640 kind of sphere?

01:07:22.300 So a video, an essay, a book, um, you know, a podcast, if you think about, you know, kind

01:07:30.680 of your favorite thing that, uh, that got produced this year and, and, uh, maybe, maybe talk a little

01:07:38.360 bit about that.

01:07:39.440 My personal favorite, I think is probably from, uh, conscious, uh, care cow, care cow.

01:07:45.200 Uh, he's, uh, Ernst, I'm trying to remember his last name right away.

01:07:48.700 Um, but he, he's, uh, wrote for, I am 1776, he wrote, uh, an essay called a time to, to

01:07:55.240 dig trenches.

01:07:55.860 And, you know, he's from South Africa and in many ways they're, they're a decade or two

01:08:01.000 ahead of America if we're being really optimistic.

01:08:03.780 And so, um, you know, in, in the essay, he talks a lot about why people stay in difficult

01:08:11.420 situations.

01:08:12.000 Cause a lot of people will ask, uh, guys like us, especially, you know, they get to super

01:08:17.140 chats and that kind of thing.

01:08:18.020 What can be done?

01:08:18.760 What action can we take?

01:08:19.980 Uh, you know, with everything you've seen and, you know, all the, all the, you know,

01:08:24.060 pessimism about certain, you know, processes, you know, democratic process, that kind of thing.

01:08:28.460 Like what, where, where, where is the hope where, why do people stick around?

01:08:32.340 And I think he did a really good job in that essay of encapsulating, like why people don't

01:08:37.880 leave their homeland when things get difficult, why it's important to, you know, uh, invest

01:08:43.660 in your community and, and all kinds of stuff that I think it was really great.

01:08:48.160 So that's a good one to check out.

01:08:50.900 Uh, let's go ahead and work in reverse here since I put bog on the spot each time, Mark,

01:08:55.480 uh, you, do you have a particular video or essay or anything that sticks in your mind

01:08:59.940 from this year?

01:09:01.100 Well, I'll just, I'll go with Donald, uh, Donald J. Trump's opinion.

01:09:07.020 Uh, and he thinks that there is no Trumpism without Trump by Malcolm Chayune was a brilliant

01:09:12.700 piece of writing.

01:09:13.580 He, uh, he re-truthed it and getting stamped.

01:09:17.380 Is that real?

01:09:19.200 I don't know if you're listening.

01:09:20.280 No, the president of the United States said that was great.

01:09:22.980 Let me show this to all the people who follow me.

01:09:24.640 Did Malcolm put that on compact or where did he put that?

01:09:27.300 Yeah, it was in compact last month.

01:09:29.420 Gotcha.

01:09:30.680 Furious.

01:09:31.020 Do you have a particular, uh, article or essay or video or anything that you enjoyed this

01:09:35.500 year?

01:09:36.840 Um, well, I think, uh, if I, if I may just pick two, because, uh, yes, I think you made,

01:09:43.400 you made, you made a, you made a good choice with a, with our South African friend, uh, Mr.

01:09:48.420 Conscious Caracal.

01:09:49.300 Um, you know, those guys have wonderful insight into, uh, you've used the phrase before back

01:09:54.400 canary in the coal mine and South Africa certainly is in terms of the whole dystopian sort of

01:09:59.080 rainbow nation thing where it, where it ends up and it's not pretty.

01:10:02.840 And, uh, and, uh, you know, much like my own country, you know, a, a good country was fashioned

01:10:08.660 out of a harsh climb, uh, you know, biosphere and the climate and difficult, uh, lands that

01:10:13.940 were tamed.

01:10:14.460 And, uh, to see all that hard work building a civilization be torn down from all directions,

01:10:21.180 both inside from within and from without is, is saddening.

01:10:24.020 And those, those guys have a right to be proud of what they've inherited from their ancestors,

01:10:28.880 even though it's been defiled by other, other people.

01:10:31.100 So that was a good choice, um, by you, Orin, because I think, um, sometimes we sort of overlook

01:10:36.120 South Africa and, uh, and, and what the, the privations they're suffering.

01:10:39.320 Um, but in my instance, I think, uh, my, my two would be, I think we can't underestimate

01:10:45.260 the importance of populist delusion and the fact that our, our friend AA has gone to the

01:10:50.640 great difficulty of sourcing a lot of these difficult to find authors and sort of collating

01:10:55.300 their viewpoints into a sort of a cogent structured book, a work, shall I say, that can then be sort

01:11:01.900 of distributed amongst people who might have inclinations or instincts towards, you know,

01:11:07.180 what we might call dissident politics or a dissident perspective on politics.

01:11:11.900 Um, I think the importance of populist delusion can't be, um, ignored, but in terms of a specific

01:11:17.680 thing online, I think, um, I think uncle Radlib's 124 years of the GAE is probably one of the

01:11:27.120 best pieces of online content we've seen this year.

01:11:29.480 Cause I think, I think, um, I suppose as an Australian, it's, it's, it's not so difficult

01:11:35.260 for me, I think with you American lads, and I say this to all due respect, cause I think

01:11:40.180 patriotism is an admirable trade, but it, it, it must be difficult to sort of, um, embody

01:11:46.740 a notion of patriotism and pride in what you have and what your forefathers have built whilst

01:11:51.580 sort of trying to, you know, mentally accept this role that the country has played in international

01:11:59.360 politics for, you know, almost a century and a half and the, and where things have led, um,

01:12:05.740 from then till now and how, um, the usurpation of American institutions has led us here.

01:12:12.780 It's led to Europeans finding themselves in their predicament, Russia finding itself in

01:12:17.240 its predicament, the American people and the Anglosphere allies, which would include me

01:12:21.500 and my country, where we find ourselves.

01:12:23.940 And, um, and Radlib has a really wonderful way of sort of chronologically going through

01:12:28.820 these events in a very sort of factual and straightforward manner.

01:12:31.580 And so I think he's 124 years of the GAE is, um, probably one of the best works that has

01:12:36.500 been made this year.

01:12:38.120 No, excellent recommendations, uh, both academic agent.

01:12:41.860 I've of course read Populous Delusion and very familiar with the source material that

01:12:46.420 he's referencing and he does a great job with that.

01:12:48.900 And then, uh, Radlib does, you know, he was just on last week on this channel.

01:12:53.400 He's always got a great presentation style.

01:12:55.400 He's very good at breaking down a lot of that stuff.

01:12:58.060 So make sure to check those out.

01:12:59.360 Clossington, did you have anything in particular?

01:13:03.240 Um, what really stood out to me, I, I've actually been very horrible at keeping up with,

01:13:09.140 uh, sub stacks and, uh, the polemics, uh, this year, but two streams actually stood out

01:13:15.540 to me, uh, both from, uh, our friend, uh, Ryan term seeds channel, uh, is turnips digest on,

01:13:22.740 uh, the Dixie crats from 1948 to 1968 and, uh, the Dixie crats and the party switch, uh, turnip

01:13:33.920 and, uh, close friend of mine, uh, Christopher Sandbatch went through the formation of the

01:13:39.980 current, uh, Democrat party as we know it and the actual inner workings and inner party struggles,

01:13:46.940 um, that led to where we are today.

01:13:53.560 I don't know.

01:13:54.160 I thought it was just a very informative, um, series of streams.

01:13:58.360 Yeah, no, uh, Ryan's a young guy, um, but he does a really great, he's a good, uh, student

01:14:05.760 history and does a great job of putting things together.

01:14:08.580 Um, so it must be said, is a man who punches way above his weight.

01:14:13.060 He's, um, he really does in the years.

01:14:15.280 He's a very, very smart fellow.

01:14:17.860 Absolutely.

01:14:18.740 Bob, what about you?

01:14:19.740 Anything that stuck out to you?

01:14:22.000 Okay.

01:14:22.580 So, uh, I don't, I don't listen to as much stuff that is super adjacent to us because

01:14:29.320 I'm the kind of person that like, um, I would just start, uh, like, uh, I, if I listened

01:14:36.880 to, uh, someone's material, I'm going to, I'm going to start talking about the same things

01:14:41.360 as them and stuff.

01:14:41.960 So I limit it.

01:14:42.760 It's artificially limited some, but however, I do have some.

01:14:46.180 So first off, there's, uh, the people like, uh, great articles and some to cause big

01:14:51.640 reactions of, uh, Merrick mentioned Malcolm Shea and Trumpism without Trump, uh, Gord

01:14:56.460 McGill, big, big friend of us go in the wage cap for the most essential worker, probably 0.69

01:15:02.080 the most, uh, the most inflammatory article all year by our friend Charles Stallworth,

01:15:07.260 uh, was in Newsweek.

01:15:08.440 It was the tantrum at Twitter reveals how privileged the liberal laptop class is.

01:15:13.140 This was amazing.

01:15:14.280 There were, there were just like weeks of people screaming about this article, gnashing

01:15:17.980 of the teeth.

01:15:18.660 Yeah.

01:15:18.960 Yeah.

01:15:19.300 That was a lot of fun.

01:15:20.600 I've, I've watched distributors, his streams, uh, his, his streams all year.

01:15:25.240 I don't know.

01:15:26.020 Uh, I don't, I don't know if he's done any like a video essays or something, but it doesn't

01:15:30.580 have to, I like watching his, I'm just doing the question answer.

01:15:33.960 But, uh, my favorite, my, uh, favorite one we did, which I have to say, because it's not

01:15:40.040 really on us.

01:15:40.860 It's not because of me, but it's, we, this year we interviewed Michael Anton and that

01:15:46.220 was, uh, we've interviewed a lot of smart people.

01:15:49.020 The only person that's like, I don't know, man, that guy is really slick.

01:15:53.400 Uh, he just is.

01:15:54.960 That was a lot of fun.

01:15:56.400 Uh, and the only, and I would have to add or on your, your stream with Charles Haywood.

01:16:04.220 That was fantastic.

01:16:05.580 I think I watched it once and listened to it once.

01:16:07.760 I really enjoyed that.

01:16:09.380 Yeah.

01:16:09.820 Haywood's excellent.

01:16:10.640 He's, he's, uh, been on my radar a whole lot more here recently.

01:16:14.600 He's actually going to be coming on tomorrow, uh, for a stream.

01:16:17.960 So if anyone wants to, to check out more Charles Haywood, he'll be, uh, he'll be back

01:16:22.580 on the, uh, stream tomorrow.

01:16:24.320 So make sure to, to watch that one at seven, same time, uh, tomorrow.

01:16:28.860 All right.

01:16:29.440 So let's start getting to our super chats here so that we have a chance of getting out

01:16:35.280 here at a reasonable time.

01:16:36.620 Uh, creeper weirdo here for $5 in the book.

01:16:40.480 A wonderful, it's a wonderful life is based off of she's married to an abusive drunk.

01:16:45.480 Oh, interesting.

01:16:46.520 Okay.

01:16:46.740 So in, in the actual novel that the movie is based off of, she's not, uh, she's not alone.

01:16:53.680 She's, she's remarried, but to a much worse person or to wouldn't be remarried. 0.96

01:16:57.880 She'd just be married to an awful person.

01:17:00.200 Interesting.

01:17:01.420 I don't know.

01:17:01.780 Do you have, I'm, I haven't ever read the, uh, it's a wonderful life book.

01:17:05.280 Any of you guys familiar?

01:17:07.600 No.

01:17:08.600 Yeah.

01:17:09.080 I wasn't even aware it was a book.

01:17:10.760 I mean, I assume I guess as much, but what ethnicity was it?

01:17:15.480 Is he, I gotta know.

01:17:17.820 I'm assuming Italian.

01:17:19.040 I don't know.

01:17:20.140 I just going to see a furious.

01:17:21.700 The, the, the perfidious Ellis Island is, uh, enough shade has been thrown in the direction

01:17:28.920 of, of, uh, here.

01:17:32.660 All right.

01:17:33.360 Uh, so, uh, tree frog for 499.

01:17:36.220 Thank you very much.

01:17:37.480 Not Christmas related, but rewatching, uh, Jurassic Park one and the lost world over

01:17:41.740 the weekend with my girlfriend and saw King Kong 33, uh, for the first time.

01:17:47.880 Yeah.

01:17:48.420 No, Jurassic Park is, uh, obviously an all time classic really enjoyed.

01:17:53.140 Uh, that's a book.

01:17:54.220 I, I really enjoy as well.

01:17:56.600 Those are books I enjoy as much as the movie.

01:17:59.480 Uh, what about you guys going back to, uh, Jurassic Park and fun?

01:18:03.200 That, that was one of the first like big movies of my childhood, you know, like, like everybody

01:18:07.660 had to see.

01:18:08.340 I read the book when I was, uh, and I loved the movie so much.

01:18:13.720 I had a Jurassic Park alarm clock that I kept until like, I was, uh, 19 years old.

01:18:20.940 I love, I love that movie.

01:18:22.560 It was, I mean, it was amazing.

01:18:24.120 I mean, the, the sequels, none of them were really any good, but the original, especially

01:18:30.920 if you look at the way they made it, the thing that like the technical prowess of something

01:18:35.540 that was made in like what 92 that looked that good.

01:18:38.900 It is weird that the CGI holds up better from that movie than movies from like the early

01:18:43.680 two thousands.

01:18:44.360 It's because they were smart about like, they, you know, they, they got the dinosaurs in

01:18:47.920 the rain and the dark and it's mysterious and you're not just seeing a computer video

01:18:52.860 game monster in front of you.

01:18:55.100 Yeah.

01:18:55.820 Uh, the only controversial opinion I have about that, which by the way, I don't know if

01:19:00.740 people remember.

01:19:01.160 I think that was, uh, they use Jurassic Park to first sell, uh, sound surround systems and

01:19:08.760 it really wasn't the surround.

01:19:09.920 It was just getting a subwoofer in.

01:19:11.660 So, uh, when it stomps and the glass shakes or whatever, but I remember there was a, the

01:19:16.500 opinion that, that every, uh, normie, uh, had was that, uh, the Sega Genesis game was better

01:19:23.100 than the super Nintendo game, which I mean, to me, that was ridiculous.

01:19:27.020 Who could possibly think that?

01:19:29.020 I just remember how bad the NES game was.

01:19:31.940 It was just horrific or the Game Boy one.

01:19:35.500 I imagine the NES was dead by then pretty much.

01:19:39.360 Well, that's the thing of the NES survived well into the SNES's life cycle because it

01:19:44.200 was just so popular.

01:19:45.440 I, they took, I had, I had the, uh, the, the top loader one, uh, from later because I too

01:19:51.420 was one of the, the poor people still rocking the NES well into the deep into the nineties,

01:19:56.240 deep into the nineties.

01:19:57.180 Same thing.

01:19:57.900 My, my parents are like, you don't need another video game system.

01:20:00.460 We bought one like seven years ago.

01:20:02.020 And so like, I went directly from the NES to the Sega Saturn, uh, cause I had a excellent,

01:20:08.480 uh, that was, I bought my, I bought my Saturn for like 50 bucks towards the end of its life

01:20:17.160 cycle because there's no games came out for it.

01:20:19.760 Uh, the first thing, the first video game console I purchased with my own money that

01:20:25.140 I earned was the Nintendo 64 and I didn't buy another console for like 20 years.

01:20:29.940 That sucked.

01:20:31.280 I'm sorry.

01:20:31.900 I'm sorry if people, I know you might have nice, nice feelings about N64, but, uh, every

01:20:37.080 game runs at 15 FPS.

01:20:38.540 Yeah.

01:20:38.680 So, uh, it sucks.

01:20:40.860 Unless you get the expansion pack for the 64 meg ram expansion pack for the N64.

01:20:46.940 Yeah.

01:20:47.340 You have to have that to run like, uh, like perfect dark and stuff.

01:20:50.440 Perfect.

01:20:50.660 The only reason, yeah, I never owned the, uh, 64, but all of my friends would play golden

01:20:55.820 eye.

01:20:56.180 So I was very familiar with, with its controller.

01:20:58.800 By the way, the best, the best, like, uh, the concept from Jurassic park that I think about

01:21:03.320 all the time is just like that.

01:21:05.120 Uh, you know, whenever I look at, look at any situation, I'm like, who is the Dennis Nedry?

01:21:09.860 Like who is the most situations, governments, worlds, like, you know, then maybe you can tie

01:21:15.660 this into the elite theory thing.

01:21:17.200 So there's one guy that, uh, could get pissed off and shut off the fence in the rain and,

01:21:22.220 you know, uh, get everything going.

01:21:24.980 I'm definitely working that theory into, into the book.

01:21:27.860 Now I'm, I'm, I'm on, I'm on the fifth chapter.

01:21:30.180 So that's, I'm definitely working the Nedry, uh, theory into remember the, the old, like,

01:21:34.900 uh, upstanding conservative stuff.

01:21:36.640 They'd be like, or maybe, no, this maybe came from a bomb or something like find the doers, 0.95

01:21:40.940 find the helpers.

01:21:41.760 Like, no, find the Dennis Nedry, find him, get him to shut the fence up.

01:21:45.900 Did you guys see, uh, Jurassic World Dominion?

01:21:49.360 Yeah, they're, they're not good.

01:21:51.840 Like, uh, I thought it was hilarious.

01:21:54.900 I mean, hilarious in how bad it was.

01:21:57.020 Yes.

01:21:58.400 No, it's like, um, it was my, uh, my fiance actually got somewhat uncomfortable by how much,

01:22:05.040 uh, I was laughing at the serious points.

01:22:07.000 Um, like it was actually quite sad.

01:22:11.860 Um, like there are these just montages of dinosaurs hanging out with the whales and like this, there's

01:22:20.060 this convoluted clone, uh, subplot and it's, it's, it's, it's absolutely insane.

01:22:28.140 I, do any people get eaten by dinosaurs?

01:22:31.160 Yes.

01:22:31.920 Okay.

01:22:32.600 I've, I've worked some like manual labor jobs with people that are like, you know, uh,

01:22:38.780 you know, not, uh, they don't, they're not, they don't have it all together.

01:22:42.780 And most of these people I've talked to these guys, you know, like 75, 88 IQ guys, they all

01:22:48.380 tell me they, they love dinosaurs eating people and they would just go watch and they would

01:22:53.460 go watch all the Jurassic Park movies because they just love to see dinosaurs eating people.

01:22:57.280 I was pretty based.

01:22:59.400 Well, it's a rampage, you know, the video game, uh, anyone back from like, there's a, there's

01:23:06.120 a rock movie called rampage.

01:23:08.820 Uh, uh, yes.

01:23:10.040 Which is based off of video games.

01:23:11.620 Yes.

01:23:12.040 I never saw it, but if we can just cycle.

01:23:15.880 Oh, sorry.

01:23:17.340 It's okay.

01:23:18.060 I was just talking about dinosaurs eating people.

01:23:19.840 Go ahead.

01:23:20.820 Oh no, I'm just going to say, I want to cycle back before we sort of move on.

01:23:23.480 Um, Jurassic parks are very much a, um, you know, stand out of how, you know, before CGI

01:23:31.860 totally took over movies and movie making, and they sort of create these effects that

01:23:36.040 were obviously artificial, but plausible and had a realistic touch to them.

01:23:41.180 And what's interesting is that Jurassic park was released only a few years before the first

01:23:46.340 Anaconda movie.

01:23:47.220 And you watch like Anaconda one and it's the CGI is absolutely garbage.

01:23:53.040 Um, and it's amazing how some directors nailed that transition period between sort of like

01:23:58.000 plausible CGI and crappy CGI.

01:24:00.280 And you watch that, like the first Anaconda movie and it is just, you can't help but laugh

01:24:05.340 because it's so awful.

01:24:06.140 But then you watch the original Jurassic park and it's actually very, very well done in that

01:24:11.360 context.

01:24:11.900 I mean, you need, you need ILM geniuses to do with it in Jurassic park.

01:24:17.700 You need like, ah, let's have tasteful effects.

01:24:19.800 And we're going to have some robots here.

01:24:21.620 We're going to have a mix of computer graphics.

01:24:23.740 Whereas if you're making Anaconda, you just say, yeah, get a computer guy to make a big

01:24:27.480 snake and we'll, we'll have the waterfall going backwards. 1.00

01:24:30.880 Nobody cares.

01:24:31.560 It's Anaconda.

01:24:32.420 We're just, we're cashing in, you know, you get what you get, what you pay for.

01:24:35.880 I thought you were going to cite the, uh, the nineties, uh, Godzilla movie.

01:24:40.840 Yeah.

01:24:41.320 Oh God.

01:24:42.360 I actually forgot about that closing to until you do.

01:24:45.940 We know, we know somebody that, that, that has done stuff like special effects and stuff.

01:24:53.220 And, uh, I, that guy would be highly expensive.

01:24:56.260 The guy's a genius and you know, he, you, the kind of skills you need to be able to do.

01:25:00.120 So, you know, he could do carpentry.

01:25:01.760 He could program a computer.

01:25:02.860 He could do anything.

01:25:03.680 Anyway, uh, you just CGI with like, uh, you know, basements full of, uh, starving Filipino 1.00

01:25:08.600 people.

01:25:09.320 So, uh, yeah, by the way, someone in the audience, uh, uh, I wonder if they have this, I wonder

01:25:14.260 if you guys had this in Australia.

01:25:15.520 I didn't know about this till later.

01:25:17.180 It said, they had the Amiga.

01:25:18.960 I don't know if you guys heard this, but like, uh, in Europe, they had this computer that

01:25:23.380 was like 10 years ahead of American technology the whole time we were playing like NESs and

01:25:28.100 stuff.

01:25:28.780 Bastard.

01:25:29.500 Yeah.

01:25:29.860 They had a really good, uh, Castlevania game.

01:25:32.000 I think on there that we never got like cancel, Castlevania.

01:25:35.720 So always jealous of that one.

01:25:37.020 Uh, I, I know, I know that it, it, it did make its way here, but in, in very small numbers,

01:25:42.360 like if you've actually found one that said like a secondhand sort of store, you literally

01:25:46.980 have to almost take out a mortgage to buy it.

01:25:49.100 Like we only got literally a smattering of them and not very many of them may, you know,

01:25:53.660 survived.

01:25:54.280 So only the, we're only the very wealthy kids, I suppose, had their parents, you know,

01:25:59.780 literally import them from somewhere else.

01:26:01.960 They weren't salty commercially to my knowledge.

01:26:05.100 So Dylan 98 here asks, uh, what are your thoughts on razor fist and his phrase body, uh,

01:26:10.800 body bags for black pills.

01:26:12.920 It's good to be realistic, but also take the white pill now.

01:26:16.080 And again, uh, yeah, I mean, I really like razor fists.

01:26:19.640 I like his videos are very entertaining.

01:26:22.340 I think the character is great.

01:26:23.900 He obviously puts a lot of effort into writing and they're always really entertaining.

01:26:28.400 I find some of his political analysis to be kind of very mainstream conservative.

01:26:38.260 Um, it's a little, little bloomerish at times.

01:26:41.160 Um, I think he's right that you shouldn't be negative all the time.

01:26:44.380 I think it is important to keep things in context and still be able to have hope.

01:26:49.640 And have a good life and all those things.

01:26:51.560 He has no reason to be, to be dour all the time.

01:26:54.440 Uh, but I do think there is a certain level of, I think he's still heavily invested in

01:27:00.420 the system and it working.

01:27:02.380 Um, and so I think when he says no black pills, he means stop, stop pretending that you can't

01:27:07.560 just like, you know, win another election and kind of turn the whole thing around, which

01:27:11.600 I kind of don't agree with.

01:27:13.060 But like I said, I'm, I'm a fan of his work.

01:27:14.720 I enjoy his videos quite a bit.

01:27:16.320 Um, the, you know, there is, uh, I wouldn't, I would certainly not agree with that.

01:27:21.380 Although like, uh, the thing is you need to get past like some serious, uh, a black pill 0.99

01:27:26.440 time.

01:27:27.220 Uh, you know, a lot of people, when you first start sort of realizing how screwed we are,

01:27:31.020 uh, it's, it's pretty depressing.

01:27:33.360 And, but like, if you don't go, if you don't go through that and sort of think about like

01:27:36.960 the bad situation we are, then you're going to be in just massive denial and you're going

01:27:41.600 to be really upset.

01:27:42.940 Like, uh, you know, every, every, uh, every time you get reminded and let me tell you,

01:27:48.300 the lips will remind you like you, uh, you need to know the situation you're in.

01:27:51.920 We're not in the worst situation that there's ever, there's, that there's ever been.

01:27:55.660 And you, uh, but, uh, you, you, you can't be thinking like, oh, we're just going to turn

01:28:00.940 this ship around tomorrow because we're not, uh, you, you gotta, you gotta have your, the

01:28:06.000 right expectations.

01:28:07.080 And, but also, you know, the fate of like the Republican party or, uh, dissident right-wing

01:28:13.080 politics is not one-to-one tied to your own fate.

01:28:16.240 Yeah.

01:28:17.640 Yeah.

01:28:18.100 A hundred percent.

01:28:18.800 Like you're, you can have a good, I think, uh, Mike Sivarovich actually put it really well

01:28:23.240 on Twitter, uh, like, uh, here recently is like, look, you can, you can have a great

01:28:28.140 life in a corrupt country.

01:28:29.480 There are plenty of super happy people who live great lives in countries that, you know,

01:28:35.220 aren't like high functioning countries.

01:28:37.620 It's not where you want to be, but like, you know, it's not like you can't live good lives

01:28:42.260 and meaningful lives and, and that have families and all that stuff.

01:28:46.040 In, in countries like that, but you just, like you said, it's not, not to blow out the

01:28:50.600 red pill metaphor here, but there's a reason that like the, the guy, was it, uh, the character

01:28:55.880 wants to go back and get put in the matrix, you know, just so he can taste, you know, fake

01:29:00.700 steak again.

01:29:01.400 Like, you know, if you want to keep believing that at some point the GOP is going to get

01:29:06.340 it together.

01:29:06.800 And if we just had better quality candidates next, you know, next time around, if, if, uh,

01:29:12.120 if MAGA people would just, you know, get out of the way so we can go back to

01:29:15.340 tax cuts and Mitt Romney, um, then, you know, I, I think that's, that's far more depressing

01:29:21.240 than being like, okay, here's the actual situation you're in and I'm not going to emotionally

01:29:25.320 invest in whether or not the GOP can, can pull it out again next year.

01:29:29.820 Cause they're not going to.

01:29:30.700 So I'm going to look for things that actually improve my life and the people, the life,

01:29:34.120 the lives of people around me.

01:29:35.100 I don't know who, like who RazorFist is, so I'm not critiquing whatever you said, but

01:29:40.460 like in this, in this point in general, like if you've ever, if you ever talked to somebody

01:29:44.220 who's like a progressive or, uh, like a liberal, but not like, you know, not super political

01:29:49.680 to the point where they have all the canned responses and like, can you really dig down

01:29:54.660 and you talk about these things that you mentioned, like, you know, uh, posterity, like

01:29:59.420 you'll get this, you'll get this weird death drive answer.

01:30:02.120 Or once you dig to the bottom of like, yeah, well everybody, you know, we're all going

01:30:04.940 to die and we're going to be replaced by Guatemalans and, you know, stuff like that. 1.00

01:30:08.060 Like, you know, that's fine.

01:30:09.620 Right.

01:30:10.200 You can't, like, you can't reason, like pull, you can't like have a old, old timey political

01:30:16.740 debates with people who like, who at the base of it feel that way.

01:30:20.740 Like that they have this insane death drive that wants to like, just like, just not only

01:30:25.420 destroy themselves, which would be bad enough, but like destroy you too.

01:30:29.080 You're just, it's not going to work.

01:30:30.420 So like acknowledging that isn't a black pill.

01:30:33.960 That's just, you're, you're acknowledging reality.

01:30:36.640 Like if, if you're, you know, if you're, if you've fallen off the jet ski in the, in

01:30:40.720 the alligator infested water, it's not a black pill to be like, you know, wow, I'm in danger.

01:30:45.960 I need to do something about this because otherwise you're just going to get eaten.

01:30:50.120 Yep.

01:30:50.660 A hundred percent.

01:30:52.460 All right.

01:30:53.000 I am Duke here.

01:30:54.040 Uh, thank you very much for your donations here.

01:30:55.920 Our diner is still a thing in the U S.

01:30:58.220 Uh, yeah, a hundred percent there, there's local diners around me all over the place.

01:31:02.240 You can get excellent food there.

01:31:04.300 Um, you know, less than there was sadly, as with all mom and pop things, especially after,

01:31:09.900 uh, the, the disease that will not be named.

01:31:12.680 Uh, you know, there's many of those things had to shut down, uh, in that time, but, uh,

01:31:18.400 they're, they're still certainly a thing.

01:31:20.580 Yo, shout out. 0.65

01:31:21.460 Someone says brought up ultimate seven in the audience.

01:31:23.540 Yeah.

01:31:23.660 That, that game is, uh, uh, based, uh, diners.

01:31:26.960 Yeah.

01:31:27.140 I don't know that the diner question.

01:31:28.900 Uh, well, first off you can, uh, watch the flavor town guy, but I've heard the diner question.

01:31:34.560 Uh, Yankees will be like, if you bring up diners, you're like, you know, you're, you're redneck 1.00

01:31:39.000 gas doesn't know what a real diner is.

01:31:40.900 I've heard that diners are a, uh, uh, up North thing.

01:31:44.540 They, they have special requirements for the diner, but I don't know.

01:31:47.560 Uh, I was not aware that there was some kind of a Yankee claim on the diners.

01:31:52.640 Clossington as our, uh, uh, representative.

01:31:55.900 What do you say?

01:31:56.940 I have no clue what the, uh, the claim on, uh, diners is.

01:32:00.740 Okay.

01:32:01.600 Like, I, I think like outside of the immediate, like corridor from, let's just say,

01:32:09.000 like, um, like Washington DC to Boston, like there's a certain corridor where everything

01:32:15.520 is just, uh, like strips and chains, but outside of that, yeah, you'll get healthy diners.

01:32:24.620 Um, diners are doing just fine. 0.98

01:32:27.600 Um, what aren't doing fine are, um, are, um, are, uh, just blue collar bars.

01:32:39.220 Like those aren't doing very well at all.

01:32:42.100 Um, like diners are doing just fine.

01:32:45.180 Thanks to, to, to like door dash, but dive bars are dying out, man.

01:32:50.180 And being replaced with foofy, uh, like craft places.

01:32:55.120 It might be for the better, but I don't know.

01:32:58.520 Something, something's dying.

01:33:00.400 I think a big part of this is also like the, uh, the death of the VFW, you know, like the,

01:33:06.440 you used to always, uh, in every town, you always had the, uh, the dive, you know, VFW,

01:33:12.100 because you always had enough guys who were coming back from nom or something to keep it

01:33:16.420 funded.

01:33:16.760 And, uh, now that you don't have that large generation of veterans going forward, you're,

01:33:21.060 you're losing that crucial link in the, uh, in kind of the dive bar, uh, chain.

01:33:26.040 I miss the, uh, the, the red tablecloth, uh, local small business, Italian restaurant.

01:33:34.400 Those are my favorite.

01:33:35.540 And I think those, I mean, I've been around the South and you don't see them like you used

01:33:40.680 to.

01:33:43.100 Yeah.

01:33:43.640 I don't know.

01:33:44.140 I feel like, uh, we, I guess you're right that it's the, we get more, I get more upscale

01:33:48.960 Italian now people trying to, trying to be fancy about it. 0.97

01:33:52.460 Yeah.

01:33:52.580 You don't get as many working class Italian places.

01:33:55.060 Like, I, I don't know where you're at, but, uh, we still have our, our low scale Italian

01:34:00.260 joints are up in a Yankee land. 0.85

01:34:04.020 Well, we gotta have something going for you guys.

01:34:06.200 It's too cold.

01:34:07.180 Like we have, uh, we have, um, like we have, um, uh, cheesecake factory.

01:34:13.460 If you want to go for upscale Italian.

01:34:15.380 Oh yeah.

01:34:16.000 That's very, very fancy.

01:34:18.120 All right.

01:34:18.600 So general Sal here for $5.

01:34:20.520 Thank you very much for your donation.

01:34:22.320 Uh, we had Ned Kelly's and Aussie themed, uh, steakhouse here in the Midwest.

01:34:27.780 It was actually quite good, better than the clientele.

01:34:30.860 I don't know.

01:34:31.280 I'm, I'm not, I'm don't have to spend a lot of time in the Midwest.

01:34:33.440 Anybody, uh, been to a Ned Kelly's?

01:34:38.440 Mm.

01:34:39.260 So the audience says WAP slop.

01:34:43.480 Oof.

01:34:44.620 Have any of you guys gone to, uh, to Texas Roadhouse?

01:34:47.880 Yes.

01:34:48.300 Oh, sure.

01:34:48.780 Yeah.

01:34:49.700 Like, um, like furious, uh, I'm sorry.

01:34:54.240 You get the peanuts on the floor.

01:34:56.220 Mm-hmm.

01:34:57.480 Yeah.

01:34:57.900 Like, uh, in the, the, uh, Outback Steakhouse discussion, uh, the comments was talking about

01:35:05.020 how great, uh, Texas Roadhouse is by comparison.

01:35:08.220 And, um, yeah, it's a million times better.

01:35:13.300 Great bread too.

01:35:14.940 They, they, they, it's, it's a decent place.

01:35:17.640 We've got, uh, Iron Duke here again, uh, for $5 Australian.

01:35:21.980 Uh, a woman have the same parts, but all those parts are equal. 1.00

01:35:26.940 Um, I'm sure that's true.

01:35:28.260 We're probably going to avoid that discussion.

01:35:30.240 About the, about the double Ds, brother.

01:35:33.340 Thank you.

01:35:34.040 Thank you for your specificity, sir.

01:35:37.540 Let's see.

01:35:38.400 Uh, who else we got here?

01:35:40.600 Got one from Roach.

01:35:44.880 Sorry.

01:35:45.180 Trying to hunt these down.

01:35:46.440 What else do you find that, um, what I just want to say, or Iron Duke 99 wanted me to comment

01:35:51.600 about, um, we, we'll talk about crocodiles before and how, uh, Australian crocodiles are

01:35:57.140 rather more intimidating than the Florida alligator.

01:36:00.040 I haven't actually seen a Florida alligator, so I'm not too sure, but yes, Australian saltwater

01:36:04.260 crocodiles are vicious.

01:36:05.880 So the trick with alligators is that they don't open their mouth the way that crocodiles

01:36:11.200 do.

01:36:11.440 They don't have the, the muscles to open as with the same strength.

01:36:15.580 So that's why like they can wrestle alligators because you can just duct tape their mouths

01:36:20.500 shut or hold their mouths shut.

01:36:21.900 And then they're more or less harmless the whole time that, that, that happens.

01:36:27.120 Um, but, uh, but with their, you know, so I, like I had a friend who worked in an orange

01:36:32.380 grove and he thought it would be really great to like grab an alligator he found on the side

01:36:36.820 of the road and just like threw a belt around its mouth and brought it to like a gathering

01:36:40.540 we're having.

01:36:41.080 Cause like you, you can do that, but he's going down the interstate to get to the gathering

01:36:45.240 and like all of a sudden the, the, the, uh, passenger side seat of his Jeep starts slamming

01:36:50.640 back and forth.

01:36:51.700 Apparently the gator had gotten the belt off its mouth and, uh, had, had, uh, grabbed the

01:36:56.000 lever of the seat and was thrashing all around in the car.

01:36:59.200 I had the same thing happen to my ex-wife. 0.93

01:37:02.740 Super, super Florida man story.

01:37:05.020 That's what I mean.

01:37:05.640 I, I, I, I came, it's, it's all true.

01:37:08.440 Everything you've read is true.

01:37:09.440 So, uh, Roach here, uh, $5.

01:37:13.380 Thank you very much for your donation.

01:37:14.920 Merry Christmas and happy new years, boys.

01:37:16.920 You guys really helped me regain my standard after losing it in 2020.

01:37:21.020 Keep up the great work and God bless.

01:37:23.080 Well, thank you, sir.

01:37:23.740 I'm, I'm really glad that, uh, you know, we try to, try to, uh, have a community here,

01:37:28.660 try to keep everybody going.

01:37:30.140 Really appreciate.

01:37:31.260 I've got a lot of you guys who have been here for a long time.

01:37:33.540 And I know many people have, you know, are avid, uh, listeners to people like the good

01:37:37.560 old boys or, uh, or, uh, apostolic majesty's, uh, streams that Closington or, uh, that, uh,

01:37:43.960 furious is on.

01:37:44.920 So I'm really glad that you guys come out and are part of the community.

01:37:48.400 We really appreciate it.

01:37:50.400 Uh, let's see here.

01:37:51.660 We got, uh, Pete Budapest, uh, for $10.

01:37:54.960 Thank you very much.

01:37:55.720 It appears to me that many on the right signal against violinism on the left with a brutish

01:37:59.980 punching down on the week.

01:38:01.640 That is really the flip side of the same coin.

01:38:05.240 Am I off base?

01:38:07.280 I mean, I think that there's a very specific thing with the Leninism of the left, right?

01:38:12.980 Which is that they specifically artificially are elevating people who are entirely dependent

01:38:20.940 on their system, right?

01:38:22.460 And without them, that would have no other status.

01:38:26.960 So there are people who are specifically willing to kind of sell themselves for the system, right?

01:38:33.240 To, to acquire power or status they otherwise wouldn't have.

01:38:35.720 That's not the same as just like being weak or, or, or otherwise unable to attain like that,

01:38:41.340 that there's, it's a very specific saying.

01:38:43.640 It's a very, very different thing to say.

01:38:45.220 I will specifically buy into a corrupt or gross system in order to obtain something that I otherwise

01:38:50.760 wouldn't be, I will become a commissar so that I can climb a ladder.

01:38:55.340 Otherwise I wouldn't be able to climb.

01:38:57.280 I don't think that's the same thing as, uh, you know, just, just being an average person

01:39:01.680 who doesn't get to the top of the ladder.

01:39:03.760 Like the, uh, the sort of point of violinism and the violinist coalition is that it is antinomian

01:39:10.440 by nature, uh, or it is against the normative cultural values of the moral or, or the silent

01:39:20.540 majority.

01:39:21.640 Uh, so it's a coalition of the dispossessed, uh, you know, minorities, ethnic or sexual or 0.96

01:39:32.600 disabled, uh, what, what have you, um, as well as those who would not, as, as the violinist

01:39:41.560 hypothesis goes, uh, those who would not have, uh, survived in pre-industrial society grow up

01:39:48.600 to be rather malfunctioning and, uh, dependent on state apparatuses and this certain political

01:39:56.980 machines to actually, to actually, uh, be kept afloat.

01:40:02.260 So you end up with commissars who command over these antinomian elements.

01:40:07.640 Um, I think that's, that's, it's not just, you know, your proletarian wasp grug, right? 0.70

01:40:16.020 It's, it's a little, it's a little bit more specific to the antinomian and, uh, outsiders.

01:40:22.660 Blackjack in the audience brings up the civil rights patriot scheme.

01:40:25.360 I don't know anything about violinism, but that stuff that Oram was talking about now

01:40:29.440 that, now that's, that's, that's more right up my alley.

01:40:32.000 So, uh, if you, uh, the way they get their money is basically say, uh, telling this, like,

01:40:37.460 uh, uh, I'll say telling, but obviously it doesn't work like this, but telling legislature,

01:40:42.780 Hey, you need to give us some tax money so we can, uh, fix things.

01:40:46.220 And well, uh, this is sort of like the military, like, Hey, we need to fight a global war on terror.

01:40:51.100 So, uh, you're gonna need to tax people a lot and give us the money and then we'll

01:40:55.120 go do this, which they're just getting, giving the money to them themselves.

01:40:58.640 This is like, uh, you know, in the old days, uh, if you had someone in your family was,

01:41:03.660 uh, like legit, like legit retarded or something like that, you know, people would, would, uh, 0.93

01:41:09.440 you know, your brother will watch him this weekend and then they'll stay at grandma's

01:41:13.100 house the next weekend.

01:41:14.360 And, uh, well, that's just like, you're, that's just free money on the table.

01:41:17.880 They want these professional jobs where this is, that's a, that's a, that's a money opportunity.

01:41:22.460 That's this, that person's a goldmine.

01:41:23.920 It's like a criminal.

01:41:24.840 You think about how much, how many professionals, uh, a criminal employees, uh, you know, you

01:41:29.800 have the court reporter and the psychologist at the, at the prison and all this stuff like

01:41:34.920 that.

01:41:35.220 And this is sort of the, the managerial system, like, you know, send us more immigrants, like 1.00

01:41:40.520 send us more immigrants and hopefully they're, they're screwed up because, uh, we can employ 1.00

01:41:45.360 more of ourself in the whole managerial elite thing.

01:41:49.200 Well, um, I think this comment in particular calls out.

01:41:53.700 Yeah.

01:41:54.260 This, that may be different of the civil rights patronage machine or civil rights era patronage.

01:42:00.840 And we, America has had political machines and patronage and vote banks since the founding,

01:42:08.840 but this one in particular is, is a certain grift, uh, a sort of, uh, grievance politics

01:42:18.460 that is located within HR departments and corporate culture and, uh, and a, and a, and a, a whole

01:42:25.840 like battery of lawfare, like that one in particular.

01:42:30.580 Sure.

01:42:31.260 Yeah.

01:42:31.500 And it may be different than biolunics in particular, but yeah.

01:42:33.880 Well, the, the, the, the super chat was asking, uh, not about this, but about, you know, the,

01:42:39.740 the, the, the right, some of the right that crudely punches down the weak, I believe was

01:42:45.160 the way he framed it, uh, that like, you know, the, the Conan, Conan style reaction to, to weakness.

01:42:51.860 And my response to that is if you create a pagan society, you're going to get pagan outcomes. 0.86

01:42:57.180 You're going to get, you're going to get a pagan, right. 0.92

01:42:58.860 And a pagan left. 0.96

01:43:00.060 And that's what this is like a society that's like people will throw around the phrase post

01:43:07.340 Christian, which I think is way too far. 1.00

01:43:09.080 Like, like a lot of the dissident people, uh, who are either elites or want, or want to 0.85

01:43:15.120 be elites have adopted the, you know, the Imperial pagan religion.

01:43:20.120 And they're going to have pagan attitudes towards people who can't defend themselves because

01:43:25.500 that's just, you know, that's how people do.

01:43:29.880 It's worth, it's worth probably saying, um, with that super chat, I'm not saying that the

01:43:35.300 person's done this on purpose, but that is almost accepting a left-wing trope about right-wing

01:43:40.540 people.

01:43:41.360 Um, in so far that, you know, all that weaker, less fortunate people exist to do is to be sort

01:43:48.400 of crushed into it, be exploited.

01:43:50.180 I mean, let's not forget that it is, um, a traditional notion, one might argue a chivalric

01:43:56.640 notion that those who are of a, of a, of a lower strata or a lower, um, you know, socioeconomic

01:44:04.380 strat, the status are actually, uh, still have their place sort of in a symbiotic, um, social

01:44:10.680 relationship with other classes.

01:44:12.300 And that, you know, it is the, the barons and the knights of the realm who sort of fight

01:44:17.480 to protect, you know, the lesser people who, who cannot.

01:44:20.660 And that, you know, in a, in a, in a more traditionally oriented society that, you know,

01:44:25.800 arms giving is used to assist those who are less fortunate that, um, that the, the church

01:44:32.760 and means of charity, uh, exist as a supplementation to those who are, who are on that scale.

01:44:39.140 I think for us, it's a case of, for those of us on the right, so that we accept that these

01:44:42.980 people exist that we accept that a basic level of generosity or a kind of, um, you know, this

01:44:49.260 Christian notion of giving wholeheartedly or giving it for the genuine desire to help

01:44:55.620 people to a point is a fundamental part of how we see the world.

01:45:01.380 Um, one might say ethically or, or, or as a matter of principle, whereas the left seek

01:45:08.220 to empower the so-called spiteful mutants to act as a, like an ideological trannessary

01:45:15.240 class, as I've said before on this channel, um, uh, the, these sort of ideological shock

01:45:20.120 troops, they enable the, the people with an ax to grind to, to, um, you know, they need

01:45:26.240 the, the, uh, the spiteful mutants to act as the meat grinder against the kulaks and against 1.00

01:45:33.580 the, the Cossacks and the military aristocracy or the, or the, uh, the old order, which were

01:45:39.260 empowered, they become disempowered by people who have the ax to grind.

01:45:43.800 And so, in fact, it is the, it is doubtlessly the left who thinks less of these people than

01:45:48.580 us.

01:45:49.240 And I think it plays into that left-wing trope that we think lesser than they do.

01:45:53.440 And I don't think that's remotely true at all.

01:45:54.880 And, um, and, and the, the, the, the, the structure and function of Western societies, certainly

01:46:01.600 in the, um, uh, you know, in the, in the feudal and post feudal period don't reflect that at

01:46:08.240 all.

01:46:09.000 Absolutely.

01:46:09.540 Absolutely.

01:46:10.020 I'd like to say real quick, uh, this is not really a conversation we can have under the

01:46:15.540 civil rights regime because sort of, uh, the idea that being weak or whatever, it gives

01:46:20.020 you some sort of claim or whatever, but the idea that, that the left are the ones who

01:46:24.840 uh, who helped the weak and the right is, and well, that's, that's just, that's bull.

01:46:29.000 But by the way, you know, the whole, like, uh, if you are one, what to be a strong man,

01:46:33.460 you know, one of the things that comes from that thing is, you know, strength and responsibility

01:46:37.000 sort of go together.

01:46:37.880 You never going to see the left do that.

01:46:40.280 But in terms of like the left worships, you know, the left worships, uh, you know, six

01:46:45.400 foot five celebrities, uh, you know, the, the, the, the Taylor Swifts and stuff, they,

01:46:49.460 they engage in massive bullying and stuff like that.

01:46:53.500 I, I, I, however, you know, we have this, this whole civil rights thing, but, uh, I, uh,

01:46:59.280 I don't know, maybe there's, uh, I, but this is not really a conversation we can have under

01:47:03.740 the civil rights regime because we can't put strength with responsibility because that's

01:47:08.600 how you get, uh, the, the, the happy situation.

01:47:12.460 Yeah, no, there's, uh, understanding that the, the duty and power go, go hand in hand is,

01:47:18.500 is kind of what makes a, a good society.

01:47:21.500 Um, and that, uh, the, those that are provided for always have a certain duty, those difficult

01:47:27.340 conversations to have in our current scenario.

01:47:29.940 Um, all right, guys, well, we've made our way through all of the super chats.

01:47:35.000 Uh, so let's go ahead and do a little sign off here, uh, let people know where they can

01:47:40.820 find you.

01:47:41.460 If you've got anything, uh, exciting coming up or anything that you want to let people

01:47:45.580 know about, uh, bog beef and Mark, where can they find your work in any, any big interviews

01:47:49.920 coming up?

01:47:50.340 Anything people should keep an eye out for?

01:47:53.300 Yes.

01:47:54.000 Uh, we have four episodes that are, uh, sitting in my folder that I need to push out right away.

01:48:01.020 Um, but, uh, yeah, we got a lot of stuff to get out and we're at patrion.com slash, uh,

01:48:08.100 uh, good G O D G O O D O L you know, whatever he'll post good old boys with a Z and yeah,

01:48:15.940 we got, uh, we got one with Malcolm and, and, and, and another person that's been on our podcast.

01:48:22.780 We kind of had, it's almost like a debate format, isn't it?

01:48:26.820 Yeah.

01:48:27.300 Yeah.

01:48:27.540 And it's something new for us.

01:48:29.980 So, so, you know, watch it.

01:48:31.540 Donald Trump's paying attention to Malcolm.

01:48:33.840 So, you know, never know when the, the big man himself might stop by.

01:48:38.420 Yeah.

01:48:39.300 Yeah.

01:48:39.660 Yeah.

01:48:39.700 He'll, he'll check to see if you bought his trading cards though.

01:48:42.020 So you better, better make sure you have those handy.

01:48:45.940 All right.

01:48:46.640 Uh, Clossington, you got anything coming up?

01:48:48.300 Are you doing things with the, the, uh, old blur club?

01:48:51.280 Oh, um, so I'm my, my channel itself is semi-retired, but I'm a

01:48:57.500 regular contributor at old glory club.

01:48:59.880 We're sort of a, uh, multimedia, a multimedia collective of online American content creators.

01:49:08.940 Um, and you can look forward to a future sub stack posts and live streams for me on that front.

01:49:15.260 Um, I also have a very, uh, very thriving, uh, telegram following at Punished Clossington.

01:49:23.400 And I'm back on Twitter at Chossing Stone One.

01:49:27.960 So that's, that's what I'm up to.

01:49:30.280 All right.

01:49:30.480 Make sure you check them out there.

01:49:31.780 And Furious, anything that you want to let people know about?

01:49:34.360 Um, yeah, I, unless I'm, unless I've got one.

01:49:43.980 I think you Australia, your internet there for a second.

01:49:47.080 Tell the kangaroo to readjust.

01:49:53.660 While he's doing that, by the way, so, Oh, curious.

01:49:58.800 You're back.

01:49:59.840 You're back.

01:50:00.100 I was just trying to cover while you were going.

01:50:01.120 You're back.

01:50:01.420 We couldn't hear you there for a second.

01:50:03.220 You might want to start from the beginning.

01:50:04.400 Oh, sorry.

01:50:05.380 Sorry.

01:50:05.700 I'll go again.

01:50:06.620 Um, yeah, I believe Mr. Semigog is going to host like an Australian stream at the start

01:50:10.580 of the year.

01:50:11.100 So, um, I believe 99 Iron Duke will also be on it, which will be the first time that we're

01:50:15.960 streaming together Iron Duke.

01:50:17.040 It's a, it almost feels like it's been too long, but that will be good.

01:50:19.880 And we'll be joined.

01:50:21.120 I'm pretty sure by Mr. Chris guard and by Lady of Charlotte.

01:50:25.260 So that should be a good fun.

01:50:27.160 Um, I do believe that once, uh, the current call of.

01:50:32.040 Laws done, we will return to, uh, the, uh, the topic of, uh, of nutrition and, uh, and

01:50:38.300 like the food lies with AA at some point in the new year as well.

01:50:41.680 And of course, uh, I think, um, I think Mr. Majesty is taking a bit of time off, uh, cause

01:50:46.760 he's, uh, his work is very research intensive.

01:50:49.640 Um, but in the new year, of course, we will be, uh, myself and Columba and apostolic majesty

01:50:55.520 will be back, uh, chipping away at our many, many history topics that we do canvas and

01:51:00.960 are yet to canvas.

01:51:01.920 So if any of you who are kind enough, please go subscribe to apostolic majesty, watch all

01:51:07.500 of our streams.

01:51:08.120 They're all wonderful.

01:51:09.060 He's a very, very, um, erudite and intelligent, uh, historian.

01:51:13.540 I'm very lucky to be on his channel.

01:51:15.040 So check that out.

01:51:16.480 And, um, and of course other people in our sphere, you know, we, I think this has been

01:51:20.000 a very good year for content.

01:51:21.240 If I may say, or, and, you know, whether it's yourself or, you know, whether it's, uh, you

01:51:24.600 know, Mr. Radlib or, or Charlie or boss like majesty, you know, old boys club, you know, the

01:51:30.320 1776, uh, group, um, it's, it's been great watching, uh, prude and even geo with a digital

01:51:35.800 archipelago.

01:51:36.420 So I think, um, I think 2022 has been a great year for people in our sphere.

01:51:41.620 Uh, I'm of the, that's my opinion anyway.

01:51:44.960 Yeah.

01:51:45.400 By the way, or I'm getting picked up by a major, you know, uh, Oh yes, indeed.

01:51:50.920 I forgot.

01:51:51.580 Sorry.

01:51:52.180 That's true.

01:51:52.860 When I played, I used to play street fighter competitively.

01:51:55.480 And like when someone locally would do well at a major, you know, they, they would learn,

01:52:01.080 they would learn their, their matchups.

01:52:03.500 Like if you were a local Ken player and you know, they beat, they beat a Ken player in

01:52:07.040 the top eight or whatever, they learned how to play Ken by playing you as the local.

01:52:10.700 So the, the local boy doing good makes everybody feel good.

01:52:15.740 You know what I'm saying?

01:52:17.320 Absolutely.
