Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Howard Stern Canceled According To Reports, Contract Will Not Be Renewed Ending An Era | Timcast IRL

00:02:36.000 It is the end of the Howard Stern show after decades.

00:02:40.000 At least that's what the reports are claiming.

00:02:42.000 It's not guaranteed that a show actually ends.

00:02:44.000 But according to The Sun, an inside source says that Sirius is not going to renew his contract, and they're expected to make an offer that he must refuse.

00:02:54.000 Just backwards, but I guess the idea is ain't nobody wants to pay this guy $100 million.

00:02:59.000 And they're saying politics seems to have played a role.

00:03:02.000 Guys, whether you're Colbert, Howard Stern, you cut your audience in half.

00:03:07.000 What are you doing?

00:03:08.000 Now, I guess it's the nature of the game.

00:03:10.000 I mean, obviously, we here at Timcast are partisan as well.

00:03:13.000 It's different when you were never the king of the castle, though, and you just are where you are.

00:03:18.000 But this is iconic.

00:03:19.000 If Howard Stern is not re-upped and this is the end, then that's the end of an era for whatever, for better or for worse.

00:03:26.000 We'll talk about that.

00:03:27.000 Plus, my friends, the WNBA, more money is being bet on the color of the being thrown in the courts, if you know what I mean, than the actual games themselves.

00:03:38.000 And we've actually pulled up some of the polymarket, and oh boy, seems like people are choosing to win this on their own, if you know what I mean.

00:03:45.000 We will break that down.

00:03:47.000 We have some updates on the Texas situation with the Democrats who have fled and an evacuation from Antarctica.

00:03:54.000 A bunch of crazy stories.

00:03:55.000 Arson at an ice facility.

00:03:57.000 Hey, man, there's so much crazy stuff.

00:03:59.000 It just, it never ends, huh?

00:04:01.000 All right, but before we get started, we got great sponsors for you today.

00:04:03.000 We got Bearskin.

00:04:14.000 You guys heard of the Bearskin hoodie?

00:04:16.000 Probably because you've seen us on the show wearing them.

00:04:18.000 Admittedly, it is hotter today.

00:04:20.000 I'm not wearing it right now.

00:04:21.000 Well, smart people are locking in their winter gear now because hands down is the best time to prep for winter.

00:04:36.000 Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jacket to become 100% waterproof when you need it.

00:04:42.000 So when it turns cold, wet, or windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute.

00:05:17.000 Appreciate the hoodies.

00:05:18.000 You guys rock.

00:05:19.000 And also, we've got Beam Dream.

00:05:21.000 I absolutely love Beam Dream, my friends.

00:05:25.000 I have been drinking it every single night.

00:05:27.000 I need no script to tell you how good this stuff is because as much as, you know, I've worked really hard on my health.

00:05:34.000 I started, I was drinking a little bit of this periodically, and it felt really, really good.

00:05:38.000 I was getting hydrated.

00:05:39.000 I was sleeping well.

00:05:40.000 And then as soon as I got into the groove and I was drinking this every single night, I have had the best sleep of my life.

00:05:45.000 I'm not kidding.

00:05:46.000 I even have this sleep tracker that shows me just how good my sleep has been, and it has been incredible.

00:05:50.000 Beam Dream, I like the cinnamon cocoa one.

00:05:53.000 I did like the brownie better one. 0.73

00:05:54.000 I like this one the best.

00:05:55.000 And it is a delicious cup of hot cocoa right before bed.

00:05:58.000 It's got magnesium, L-theanine, melatonin in it.

00:06:01.000 You drink this, you get in that groove where you're drinking it every night, and you will be sleeping better than ever.

00:06:07.000 Let me tell you, for a while, I was like, I'm improving my sleep.

00:06:10.000 I'm sleeping longer.

00:06:11.000 But I did not realize.

00:06:12.000 I did not realize.

00:06:14.000 It was easy for me to fall asleep, so I assumed I must have no issues.

00:06:18.000 But I'd wake up and I'd have a sleep score in like the 80s or the low 90s.

00:06:22.000 And I was like, that's pretty good.

00:06:23.000 I'm doing my best.

00:06:24.000 I started drinking this Beam Dream, and now it's like 99% in 100, and it's shocking to me.

00:06:29.000 What's happening is I'm getting better sleep.

00:06:32.000 I had no problem falling asleep, but I'm staying in deep sleep longer, which is good for testosterone production and REM sleep, HGH, or I might have the backwards.

00:06:39.000 All I know is I feel like when I wake up, I got lightning surging through me, and I love this stuff.

00:06:44.000 Shout out James O'Keefe also.

00:06:45.000 Shout it out.

00:06:46.000 Shout out to Beam Dream.

00:06:48.000 Use promo code Tim Pool to get 35% off.

00:06:52.000 It is absolutely good stuff.

00:06:53.000 If all it was is a cup of hot cocoa, it'd be worth it, but it's better than that.

00:06:56.000 My friends, also, don't forget to smash that like button.

00:06:58.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

00:07:00.000 If you like the show, you appreciate the work we do.

00:07:02.000 We need you to share because word of mouth means everything, especially as the big tech platforms and like us none too much.

00:07:09.000 So share the show.

00:07:10.000 Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.

00:07:12.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Scott Greer.

00:07:16.000 Thanks for having me on, Tim.

00:07:17.000 Who are you?

00:07:18.000 What do you do?

00:07:18.000 I am a writer and podcaster and a, well, they used to say a Twitter influencer, but it's now an ex-influencer.

00:07:25.000 And that, and I have a new book coming out next year, but I can't reveal the details yet.

00:07:30.000 So it's highly confidential.

00:07:32.000 But my sub stack is highly respected, and that's my primary thing.

00:07:37.000 Is it called highly respected, or are you telling us that it is?

00:07:39.000 No, my sub stack is called highly respected.

00:07:42.000 Oh, I thought you were just bragging.

00:07:43.000 Well, I'm both.

00:07:44.000 I'm both.

00:07:45.000 I am both highly respected, and that's the name of, hence the name of my sub stack.

00:07:48.000 Right on, thanks for hanging out.

00:07:49.000 Producer Tate's here.

00:07:50.000 Producer Tate is here.

00:07:52.000 Me and Tim, we actually bonded earlier.

00:07:54.000 He fed me some very, very hot wings, and I was down for the counter.

00:07:57.000 It was a radio.

00:07:58.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:59.000 So it was grim.

00:08:01.000 I was down.

00:08:02.000 His face was swollen.

00:08:03.000 Yeah, I was near death, actually.

00:08:05.000 It was kind of like a spiritual experience.

00:08:06.000 I think that's kind of like the working class ayahuasca trip where it's like take some hot wings, a little tiling on, and then you like start seeing things.

00:08:14.000 So if he gets up in the middle of the show, you'll know why.

00:08:17.000 The back half of that experience hasn't happened yet.

00:08:19.000 Yeah.

00:08:19.000 We're getting there.

00:08:20.000 Brett's hanging out.

00:08:21.000 Guys, yes, Brett.

00:08:22.000 Normally, pop culture crisis Monday through Friday, but we actually did an article yesterday.

00:08:27.000 We did a topic yesterday about people talking about meeting their spouses on Substack.

00:08:31.000 Have you ever seen that happen?

00:08:34.000 No.

00:08:35.000 Definitely not on my Substack.

00:08:38.000 It's a heavily male demographic, I'll say.

00:08:42.000 We got to find a more gender-neutral substack. 0.99

00:08:44.000 That's true.

00:08:45.000 I don't know where the female demographic is on Substack, but maybe they're out there somewhere. 1.00

00:08:45.000 I do. 1.00

00:08:50.000 Someone in chat said, wait, Tim fed them to you.

00:08:52.000 I did.

00:08:53.000 I said, open up, here comes the airplane.

00:08:57.000 He loved it.

00:08:58.000 So if you're looking to meet a significant other, that's what the Tim Cast Discord is for.

00:09:03.000 It's happened.

00:09:04.000 Legitimately has happened.

00:09:06.000 No, this is not a joke.

00:09:06.000 So sign up.

00:09:08.000 Sign up for Discord.

00:09:11.000 The best selling point for young men who are, it's like, we need to get members.

00:09:15.000 How do we do it?

00:09:16.000 Just point out that we've had like three couples meet and get married on the Discord, and then young male come flocking.

00:09:21.000 Build a family.

00:09:22.000 My name is Phil LeBonte.

00:09:22.000 Hello, everybody.

00:09:23.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:09:25.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:09:27.000 Let's get into it.

00:09:28.000 It's been trending all day, my friends.

00:09:28.000 Here's the big story.

00:09:30.000 Bye-bye, Bowie.

00:09:31.000 The Howard Stern show to be canceled after nearly 20 years on Sirius XM as a $100 million contract is up later this year.

00:09:40.000 Now, this is the crazy thing.

00:09:42.000 It's not confirmed.

00:09:44.000 They're saying that his contract is up.

00:09:46.000 And according to an insider, they're going to offer him a deal.

00:09:50.000 He has no choice but to refuse.

00:09:52.000 So I guess the argument is they're going to offer him such little money that he's going to be like, no, I can't take that and then retire.

00:09:58.000 Dude, 71.

00:10:00.000 I just want to take the opportunity to say this.

00:10:02.000 I know the Howard Stern fans are going to get mad, and there are many, but irrespective of Howard Stern, to all the boomers in their 70s and 80s, retire.

00:10:12.000 Just leave Congress.

00:10:12.000 Just go.

00:10:14.000 Okay.

00:10:15.000 This is what I can't stand.

00:10:16.000 Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi.

00:10:18.000 These people are 7,000 years old and they will not leave.

00:10:21.000 The younger generation will never step up unless they are pushed out of that tree.

00:10:25.000 Okay.

00:10:26.000 And so long as Howard Stern and all these old people refuse to just take their retirement, dude, you got $100 million plus. 1.00

00:10:34.000 You are rich as rich can be.

00:10:35.000 We don't need you here anymore.

00:10:36.000 Okay.

00:10:36.000 You can go.

00:10:37.000 Plus, you're a shell of your former self.

00:10:39.000 Now, what's really interesting is that they say in the article that it seems like politics absolutely plays a role in this.

00:10:45.000 I would assume, much like Stephen Colbert.

00:10:48.000 I don't know, they're just talking about his getting married to the bottom.

00:10:51.000 They say that at some point in the article, here you go.

00:10:54.000 After you saw what happened to Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going.

00:10:57.000 Another source said Stern's political leanings are also not working in his favor.

00:11:02.000 If Sirius isn't going to give Stern a good offer, I don't think it would have anything to do with his ratings.

00:11:07.000 It's more likely everything to do with the political climate.

00:11:12.000 That's amazing.

00:11:13.000 Dude decided to go full Democrat, full woke, full, you know, oh no, I can't defend you because according to reports, he didn't want to offend his A-lister buddies.

00:11:22.000 Yeah.

00:11:23.000 Doesn't seem like he needed to do that either.

00:11:25.000 What's interesting is like, it would have been weird.

00:11:27.000 I think we were talking about before this show.

00:11:28.000 Like if he was still doing the shock jock thing, like into his 60s and he's like, he's pulling out his AARP card while doing the same type of crap he was doing when he was in his 30s.

00:11:38.000 But that's not the same thing as kind of planting your flag politically and turning it into something that it doesn't need to be.

00:11:38.000 That wouldn't work either.

00:11:44.000 Like you can do a political stuff that still leans into the audience that's there for like drive time radio.

00:11:51.000 But he also has like well over 100 employees and he's like of that contract.

00:11:55.000 I think I saw estimates anywhere from 77 to 200, 25 to 35 on the main production team and plenty more for post-production and after.

00:12:06.000 So with that many writers, that many producers, like that's the same thing with Colbert, right?

00:12:11.000 Like they have these huge contracts, but he's paying those employees out of those contracts.

00:12:15.000 Like every time you see Stephen Colbert do a bit where he holds up like some article or something, you're like some dude had to paste that out there and that dude probably makes $150k a year to do like one thing.

00:12:27.000 So it's just that the art form itself is different and the way it's done now, it's modernized and it's been streamlined.

00:12:33.000 I do wonder if you guys think that the situation with Howard Stern is because people have gone to different formats for their entertainment, you know, podcasts as opposed to listening to XM Radio or any kind of radio now.

00:12:49.000 Or if you think that it's something to do with the fact that he's gotten so soft and predictable in his old age.

00:12:56.000 I think it's probably all the factors.

00:12:58.000 I mean, you got to think about Howard Stern, how he became big and all those shock talks and talk radio hosts.

00:13:03.000 I mean, because it was, he came up at the same time of Rush Lumball and Rush Lumball when he first came out was considered a shock jock himself, much more so and saying more offensive things that he would say 30 years later.

00:13:14.000 But all these guys came out and they were speaking for the man on the street and saying the things that he wished he could say with Howard Stern, whether it was more inappropriate humor or with Rush Limbaugh saying politically incorrect things.

00:13:28.000 They're all speaking for that man on the street who's coming back from a hard work or a hard day at work at the construction site or something.

00:13:36.000 These were not meant to be liberal people who wanted to hear the same rants they heard from MSNBC.

00:13:42.000 And now what he is, he's just old and sounds like an angry MSNBC viewer.

00:13:48.000 And no one wants to listen to that on their way back home.

00:13:51.000 And if the liberals who are there, they're listening to podcasts.

00:13:54.000 They're not listening to Howard Stern. 0.99

00:13:56.000 And they think he's a male chauvinist and a pig. 0.99

00:13:59.000 They don't care about his new turn. 0.99

00:14:01.000 They want somebody else.

00:14:02.000 So there's not really that much of an audience for him anymore.

00:14:05.000 Yeah.

00:14:05.000 And the only people that have Sirius XM just bought cars and they have the three-month free subscription.

00:14:10.000 And Phil.

00:14:11.000 Yeah.

00:14:11.000 And Phil has Sir.

00:14:12.000 Yeah, I do.

00:14:13.000 Fox News.

00:14:14.000 That's why.

00:14:15.000 But it's worth the low price.

00:14:17.000 So that way you can listen to Brett Baer.

00:14:19.000 I think they said that at his highest, his audience was 20 million listeners or 20 million viewers.

00:14:24.000 And now it's down to like 125,000.

00:14:27.000 Remember at the time, you're still dealing with a situation where he was, he kind of had a captive audience, right?

00:14:34.000 There weren't so many options.

00:14:36.000 You didn't have cell phones or computers in your pocket where you could stream whatever you wanted to at any given time.

00:14:42.000 It was, okay, it's Howard Stern or whoever is competing with Howard Stern in that time slot in the car.

00:14:48.000 That was it.

00:14:49.000 You only had the radio.

00:14:51.000 So 20 million people, sure, it was huge, absolutely.

00:14:54.000 But it was because of, or at least partly because of the fact that the options were so limited.

00:14:59.000 That's what it was with TV.

00:15:00.000 Like the worst TV show in 1998 got ratings that would absolutely obliterate anything that's coming out right now.

00:15:06.000 Oh, dude.

00:15:07.000 Like they would get canceled.

00:15:08.000 It was getting 20 million.

00:15:09.000 Like shows in the 90s would get canceled on the numbers of the greatest television show of the year in 2025.

00:15:16.000 I mean, there was a bunch of shows that I liked on Fox that it was like the show wasn't doing well enough.

00:15:20.000 It was only getting six or seven million.

00:15:21.000 Yeah.

00:15:22.000 And today it's like 200,000.

00:15:25.000 They said that about the X-Files.

00:15:26.000 It was like only 10 million viewers per episode.

00:15:29.000 That's crazy.

00:15:30.000 But it was because you were comparing to everybody else.

00:15:32.000 Now it's wild to think that there will never be another Howard Stern.

00:15:37.000 There will never be not even like even like Bill Maher, even where Tucker Carlson was.

00:15:42.000 They're not getting that back.

00:15:43.000 And it's funny because Fox News has this big viewership.

00:15:48.000 But with all due respect to the Fox crew, their viewers are 70.

00:15:51.000 To be fair, slightly younger than MSNBC and CNN.

00:15:54.000 They're like 68.

00:15:56.000 But still, Howard Stern, like, okay, let's try this.

00:16:01.000 What was the average age of a Howard Stern listener in like the 90s?

00:16:05.000 It was like the 90s, right?

00:16:05.000 When was his peak?

00:16:07.000 Probably in their 30s.

00:16:08.000 Yeah.

00:16:09.000 So they're in their mid to late 60s now.

00:16:12.000 Yeah.

00:16:12.000 They're not buying stuff.

00:16:12.000 Yeah.

00:16:14.000 They already, they likely own several homes.

00:16:16.000 Not all of them, but many of them.

00:16:17.000 That's boomers. 1.00

00:16:18.000 They do.

00:16:19.000 A lot of corporate equities.

00:16:20.000 What is he selling to them?

00:16:22.000 What's he selling?

00:16:23.000 What product is he selling to them?

00:16:24.000 No idea.

00:16:25.000 So the advertisers would come to Howard Stern or Sirius.

00:16:28.000 I got to be honest.

00:16:29.000 I don't know anybody who has Sirius.

00:16:30.000 Do you?

00:16:31.000 Phil.

00:16:32.000 You have Sirius?

00:16:32.000 Me.

00:16:33.000 I do.

00:16:34.000 I have it in my.

00:16:35.000 Well, you're old, though.

00:16:36.000 Yeah, I am old.

00:16:37.000 I've got old people do love Sirius.

00:16:39.000 I got it for Fox News.

00:16:40.000 That's literally the only thing I listen to in the car is the news.

00:16:44.000 But Fox News.

00:16:45.000 Yeah, Fox News.

00:16:46.000 Just want to hear that sweet Jesse Waters.

00:16:48.000 Well, I like Rhett Bear.

00:16:51.000 There's Jesse Waters, but all right.

00:16:52.000 Yeah.

00:16:53.000 Jesse Waters.

00:16:54.000 I'm just trying to butter up Jesse because I'm going to the show soon.

00:16:55.000 Oh, are you?

00:16:56.000 There you go.

00:16:56.000 Jesse, you're great.

00:16:57.000 We love you.

00:16:58.000 Sirius has like 30 soft rock channels. 0.94

00:17:00.000 It's like ridiculous.

00:17:01.000 Yeah, they literally have every boomer music genre possibly. 0.81

00:17:05.000 You have like a yacht rock.

00:17:08.000 I will not.

00:17:09.000 Yacht rock is great.

00:17:10.000 I will not let anyone dog out Yacht Rock.

00:17:14.000 It is wonderful.

00:17:15.000 We're not criticizing it.

00:17:16.000 We're just saying that the primary audience for it is not in their 20s and 30s.

00:17:20.000 Definitely not.

00:17:21.000 The bumper for the Yacht Rock channel.

00:17:23.000 It's your pillows are monogrammed.

00:17:25.000 Aren't they?

00:17:27.000 Old.

00:17:28.000 Awesome.

00:17:29.000 So that's what Howard Stern now has to compete with.

00:17:31.000 He's got to compete with 30 channels dedicated to all the boomers' favorite music genres. 0.55

00:17:37.000 And does MSNBC even have a channel on Sirius?

00:17:40.000 I believe they do, yes.

00:17:41.000 But it probably doesn't get nearly the amount of traffic that Fox News is.

00:17:44.000 I believe you're correct.

00:17:45.000 You have to go watch the Howard Stern interview with Biden from like last year.

00:17:50.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:51.000 Biden looks dead.

00:17:53.000 He looks like he's been stuffed and he's just being held up there by like some type of like wires.

00:17:58.000 He doesn't even look alive.

00:17:59.000 And Howard Stern is just glazing him.

00:18:01.000 I like to imagine that there's some kind of shadow monster that we can't is imperceptible and it's holding Biden up and it's got this gigantic grin and it's like, you know, like maybe like Ryuk from Death Note or something.

00:18:13.000 That's a good way to explain it.

00:18:15.000 Oh, yeah, sir.

00:18:16.000 I was going to say, the thing about Howard Stern, along with all of all of these other shows that target 70-year-olds, it's the only Democrat that hates Trump.

00:18:24.000 So if Howard Stern does get canceled, what's that going to do to the pro and anti-Trump narrative?

00:18:31.000 All those people protesting in Charlestown are just going to be crushed.

00:18:34.000 Bro, they're all like 70.

00:18:36.000 Yeah, no, but there's sometimes more, but they're like 70.

00:18:38.000 They're all old.

00:18:39.000 It's so crazy.

00:18:40.000 But I think of Howard Stern as like representative of Gen X for some reason.

00:18:44.000 Like nothing fun, bro.

00:18:46.000 Yeah, he's a Gen X. I mean, he is a boomer, but his audience, I think, would have been.

00:18:49.000 Like, I think, like, when did Private Parts come out?

00:18:51.000 Like, 1999 or something like that?

00:18:53.000 I think, I think of him as making content for Gen X, not boomers. 0.77

00:18:57.000 Yeah.

00:18:58.000 But he lost his Gen Xers because all those people are like pro-Trump and don't want a liberal lecturing them from this.

00:19:04.000 They want funny jokes.

00:19:05.000 They want light-hearted humor.

00:19:07.000 They don't want to hear a screed from what he just watched in MSNBC, which it is what it is now.

00:19:14.000 It's not funny.

00:19:15.000 It's the same with Colbert.

00:19:16.000 Colbert wasn't funny at all.

00:19:18.000 Boomers love to have comedy done by people who did blackface back in the day. 1.00

00:19:22.000 Howard Stern and who's the other?

00:19:24.000 Was it Jimmy Kim?

00:19:25.000 Jimmy Kimball.

00:19:25.000 Yeah, they love dudes who did Blackface back in the day.

00:19:28.000 Yeah, Sarah Silver wore the Nazi outfit with the Swazi, like actually not like a fake one or whatever. 0.66

00:19:35.000 It was legit the Swazi. 1.00

00:19:36.000 It's like, where did you get that?

00:19:37.000 I mean, it used to be where people didn't freak out about that.

00:19:40.000 Honestly, I bet you could get it in any Hollywood costume shop.

00:19:44.000 Oh, yeah.

00:19:44.000 Yeah, I told the story when I went to Austin.

00:19:46.000 We went to an antique store.

00:19:47.000 It's like a famous antique store.

00:19:49.000 And the dude working behind the counter had a keychain with swastika on it.

00:19:52.000 They had a whole section of swastikas.

00:19:55.000 And I was just kind of like looking at everything, like, what is going on in this place?

00:19:58.000 And I went to the guy and I asked him, and he said, he got, he got almost offended.

00:20:02.000 I was like, how come you got swastikas everywhere?

00:20:03.000 And he got kind of mad and he was like, this was not the Nazis.

00:20:06.000 Okay.

00:20:07.000 This was a symbol used in America and around the world.

00:20:10.000 And he was like, before the Nazis took it.

00:20:12.000 And I was like, whoa, whoa, okay, dude.

00:20:13.000 Like, I was like, okay, man.

00:20:16.000 If you want to find Nazi memorabilia, go to gun shows. 0.66

00:20:21.000 No kidding around.

00:20:22.000 Have you seen the just a free speech symbol there?

00:20:25.000 No, they're just like, man, I like World War II.

00:20:29.000 Have you seen the meme of doks from Dexter?

00:20:32.000 It's like the I can't prove it meme where he's making the face at Dexter like this.

00:20:36.000 And the one that says, like, when my mailman sees that I order so much stuff from World War IImemorabilia.com.

00:20:43.000 Yeah, the swastika screwed me over in college because my roommates were Hindu. 1.00

00:20:47.000 So they had like.

00:20:48.000 No.

00:20:49.000 Oh, man.

00:20:50.000 Yeah.

00:20:50.000 My RA walks in.

00:20:51.000 He's like, dude, what?

00:20:52.000 I was like, they're Hindu.

00:20:54.000 It's not religious.

00:20:56.000 And it's like halfway in the room.

00:20:57.000 So it's like kind of on your side of the table.

00:20:59.000 Yeah.

00:20:59.000 I'm like, I could explain.

00:21:00.000 No.

00:21:01.000 And now you just be like, what?

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:03.000 What?

00:21:04.000 All right, everybody.

00:21:05.000 Here we go.

00:21:06.000 We've got huge news from the post-millennial.

00:21:09.000 More money is being bet on lady toys at the WNBA than on the games themselves. 0.92

00:21:17.000 I kid you not.

00:21:18.000 So we checked this.

00:21:18.000 Polymarkets got a tweet up.

00:21:20.000 They said, breaking WNBA getting betting volume on adult lady toys surpasses betting volume for who will win the game.

00:21:30.000 And so I immediately pulled this one up when you Google search it.

00:21:33.000 And it says another lady toy thrown at WNBA game by August 10th.

00:21:39.000 But the funny thing is, it is August 6th.

00:21:41.000 And I couldn't help but notice it has greater than 99% chance, which means it literally happened.

00:21:48.000 And yes, it literally happened.

00:21:50.000 People are now, they put a ban on bags because everybody is bringing these lady toys and just chucking them on the court. 0.91

00:21:58.000 Who was it?

00:21:59.000 Like Sophie Cunningham was like, stop throwing dildos at us because you're going to get us hurt. 1.00

00:22:02.000 And then she tweeted, yeah.

00:22:04.000 Yeah, she tweeted.

00:22:06.000 That didn't work out.

00:22:08.000 She got hit with one.

00:22:09.000 Did she really?

00:22:11.000 Maybe she like that's where she was targeted.

00:22:13.000 Yeah, she was a poor thing. 0.99

00:22:15.000 For real, I got to pull that up.

00:22:16.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:22:16.000 It was right at her feet.

00:22:18.000 I couldn't tell she was just being a good sport about it.

00:22:20.000 I'm waiting for security is going to jump on it like a grenade.

00:22:25.000 So the funny thing is, I saw that it spiked at August 5th at 1045, it jumped to 99.

00:22:32.000 And I'm like, that means it happened.

00:22:35.000 And it says the market will resolve yes if a dildo is thrown out of the court during a WNBA game between August 4th and August 10th.

00:22:42.000 And it says outcome proposed.

00:22:43.000 Yes.

00:22:44.000 No dispute.

00:22:45.000 Final outcome.

00:22:45.000 Yes.

00:22:46.000 Yo, they got paid.

00:22:47.000 Guess what?

00:22:48.000 Now you can bet on the color.

00:22:50.000 Oh, no, I'm sorry.

00:22:50.000 This is the date.

00:22:51.000 This is the date.

00:22:52.000 Have they all been green so far?

00:22:53.000 No, no, I think it's a blue one.

00:22:55.000 I don't know.

00:22:55.000 But here's another one.

00:22:57.000 It's you can make bets on August 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th.

00:23:04.000 Andy was telling me, my homie here, that you can bet on the color.

00:23:07.000 But the crazy thing is, if you go on polymarket, okay, and do not do this.

00:23:13.000 Do not, people listening at home.

00:23:15.000 But if you want to polymarket right now, okay?

00:23:18.000 On so as of the 7th, there's a 47% yes.

00:23:23.000 It will happen.

00:23:24.000 Okay.

00:23:24.000 So if you, if you buy yes, okay, if I'm going to just, I'm going to be very careful here.

00:23:30.000 If a person buys yes for the seventh and then goes to a game and then chooses of their own volition to huck a dildo on the court, they will have won that bet, guaranteeing they will double their money.

00:23:44.000 Do not do this.

00:23:46.000 But that's what's so dumb about this is being able to make a bet on something you can control the outcome of.

00:23:51.000 You know, just as an aside, I remember when we were hanging out with Cassandra in the, I think it was Super Bowl this year or last year, and you can bet on the color of the Gatorade as they do every year.

00:24:01.000 And I'm like, that means that there are people who chose the color or saw the color, can't just go make bets and get free money.

00:24:07.000 And then what? 0.72

00:24:09.000 This is silly. 0.98

00:24:10.000 This is silly. 0.99

00:24:11.000 But I just want to say the WNBA is a clown show. 0.99

00:24:16.000 It is, you know, look, foxy boxing has its place. 0.69

00:24:20.000 You know what you get when you go see Foxy boxing.

00:24:20.000 Okay.

00:24:23.000 Lingerie football.

00:24:24.000 And lingerie football has its place.

00:24:26.000 You know what you get.

00:24:27.000 The problem with this is with the WNBA, you don't even get Foxy boxing. 1.00

00:24:31.000 Like, look, I buy a ticket because I want to see Caitlin Clark boom, just battered and beaten, right? 0.80

00:24:36.000 That's what people are paying tickets for.

00:24:38.000 I'm not even joking.

00:24:39.000 I'm being somewhat facetious, but people literally are watching these compilation videos on YouTube of Caitlin Clark getting beaten.

00:24:47.000 The problem is, even if that's what you wanted, next thing you know, someone throws a dildo on the court, and it's just next, they're going to bring on an elephant juggling or some nonsense.

00:24:55.000 All the stories I've heard about the WNBA in the last two weeks have nothing to do with the actual sport.

00:25:01.000 It was this.

00:25:03.000 It was the other stories about this.

00:25:06.000 It was the story about the lady's wig getting snatched.

00:25:10.000 And it was Angel Reese saying, you make $1,400 in a week.

00:25:15.000 I make $1,400 in seven days.

00:25:17.000 I still have no idea if that was real or not.

00:25:20.000 When I read a quote, I just assume it's fake.

00:25:22.000 I have no idea whether that was real or not.

00:25:24.000 But, you know, they've kind of found their own market here.

00:25:26.000 You know, none of these people have to actually play good basketball.

00:25:29.000 No.

00:25:29.000 There was something going around this week where Michelle Obama called sports called ESPN reality TV for men.

00:25:37.000 But this is way funnier than anything that ESPN can do.

00:25:40.000 I do love that family guy joke where they did a cutaway gag to a WNBA game and there's like so-and-so misses another three-pointer but got close.

00:25:51.000 That's why she commands $60,000 a year. 1.00

00:25:55.000 And then they were like, but Jim, is that amount of money worth it to be so unattractive?

00:26:02.000 Well, that's for the fan to decide.

00:26:04.000 And there's an ostrich sitting in the stands.

00:26:07.000 It's like the Mavericks mascot makes like twice what they make in a year.

00:26:11.000 Dude, I am offended at the existence of the WNBA. 1.00

00:26:15.000 I can't even.

00:26:16.000 Oh, yeah, it was the other one.

00:26:17.000 It was the pay us what you owe us shirts, which is technically zero, or you actually owe them.

00:26:21.000 Yeah, they give us money back.

00:26:22.000 Like, I get paid.

00:26:23.000 I mean, the fact that they say the whole, you know, pay us what you owe us.

00:26:26.000 It's you'd think that someone would have said, this is a terrible idea.

00:26:30.000 Like, you're subsidized by the NBA.

00:26:34.000 So literally, you owe the WNBA money for allowing you to play. 0.90

00:26:38.000 The fact that they get paid is, it's ridiculous.

00:26:41.000 It should be pay us what you owe Caitlin Clark because Caitlin Clark's the one that actually brings in money. 1.00

00:26:46.000 It's almost like, look, like, I don't think it is her capabilities that is generating the press.

00:26:52.000 It's her getting beaten. 1.00

00:26:54.000 I mean, I don't know if I necessarily believe that.

00:26:56.000 I think that it's that may be true for the online discourse, but she's filling the actual stadiums and they're not showing up. 0.92

00:27:02.000 It's not bum fights for the WNBA. 0.97

00:27:05.000 And college.

00:27:06.000 In college, she became the big star.

00:27:08.000 Why she just Americans decided to like her. 0.96

00:27:11.000 She was like the girl next door.

00:27:12.000 It's not the nappy-headed hose that Don Imis famously got in trouble.

00:27:18.000 A rival of Howard Stern.

00:27:20.000 It's a normal girl next door.

00:27:22.000 Everyone can root for her.

00:27:23.000 And then she gets in the WNBA and the women Don Imis described then took the revenge and are now beating the crap out of her every year. 1.00

00:27:30.000 She get the big balls treatment. 1.00

00:27:31.000 Yeah, so she gets the big balls treatment every day on the court. 1.00

00:27:35.000 You know, the reasonably attractive WNBA stars are getting deals with Arby's and stuff like that.

00:27:42.000 Yeah, like Marcy Cunningham, we were just talking about it.

00:27:44.000 I think it was her.

00:27:45.000 It was like after a game or something, they posted a picture of her in a bathing suit and it was like, she had a great game today.

00:27:50.000 And everyone's like, could you imagine if the Warriors post a picture of Draymond like an Espeedo?

00:27:55.000 They should consider that.

00:27:56.000 I think Draymond would be up for that, but maybe.

00:27:56.000 I don't know.

00:27:59.000 We did get kind of screwed out of the fact that this didn't happen when Howard Stern was in his prime.

00:28:03.000 He could be contributing gold material back in the 90s if this was going on.

00:28:08.000 There's a clip that went viral from his show, considering they're talking about canceling him, where he was talking to, I think, was it Anna Nicole?

00:28:15.000 I can't remember.

00:28:16.000 But he tells her that he thinks she weighs 300 pounds.

00:28:20.000 And she's like, Howard.

00:28:21.000 And then he says something like, if you get on the scale, I'll show you my, if you know what I mean.

00:28:24.000 He actually goes there.

00:28:26.000 I'm trying to keep it a little family friendly.

00:28:27.000 But I'm just thinking to myself, this guy was getting 20 million in the ratings.

00:28:31.000 Like they were putting him on the radio and he legit said to a woman, I think you weigh 300 pounds, get on the scale and I'll show you my ding-dong. 1.00

00:28:37.000 And that was, that was the 90s.

00:28:39.000 He was like, what happened to millennials?

00:28:42.000 Like, just please, did someone like dangle them over a vat of parents?

00:28:47.000 Yeah.

00:28:48.000 But we had this.

00:28:48.000 We had Howard Starr when we were kids.

00:28:51.000 It's South Park too.

00:28:52.000 We had South Park.

00:28:53.000 Simpsons, family guy.

00:28:54.000 All of these things were horribly offensive.

00:28:57.000 And then millennials grew up to be like, don't say naughty words.

00:29:01.000 Well, I mean, I think that it probably has something to do with the fact that once everyone had the cell phone in their pocket and you could do internet pylons, it became, oh, you know, don't say that.

00:29:10.000 Don't say these edgy things because you'll have a boatload of people.

00:29:14.000 And even a boatload of people could be 30 people, but it feels like a lot of people when it's, you know, the same 30 people that are just, you know, consistently filling your timeline with you're a bad person, you're a bad person.

00:29:25.000 So I think that this probably a lot has to do with the internet.

00:29:27.000 You know, corporations still don't understand how that works either.

00:29:31.000 Like 30 people say bad stuff about your show or your movie or your company and they freak out and then not realizing that there's a hundred thousand more that are not saying anything.

00:29:40.000 So that math doesn't always work for people.

00:29:43.000 You couldn't be allowed on the air saying that stuff.

00:29:44.000 I mean, WNBA doesn't even allow their fans to boo or jeer because you're talking about the girl who had her wig pulled off her weave and somebody was making fun of her and they sent security out to escort a fan.

00:29:56.000 And it's like, can you imagine going to a sporting event where you can't?

00:30:00.000 Yeah, I don't know if they're really fans.

00:30:01.000 I just, they just kind of hope that some type of object falls on the court and they can and they can laugh about it.

00:30:08.000 But I had to escort him out.

00:30:09.000 I have a Simpsons reference for everything.

00:30:12.000 It's the episode where they're taunting Daryl Strawberry.

00:30:15.000 You guys remember this one?

00:30:16.000 And they're like, Strawberry.

00:30:18.000 And then Marge is like, that's kind of mean.

00:30:19.000 And they're like, no, mom, they're professional athletes.

00:30:21.000 They can take it.

00:30:22.000 And then it shows strawberry crying.

00:30:24.000 But see, the thing is, the joke was that they actually can take it.

00:30:27.000 So when the Simpsons were making fun of this, they were like, wouldn't it be funny if they actually could not?

00:30:32.000 Well, now we have the WNBA. 1.00

00:30:34.000 So I want to give it up to the Simpsons who accurately predicted once again some kind of phenomenon.

00:30:39.000 They're actually kicking people out for making fun of a woman whose wig got pulled off. 1.00

00:30:43.000 This happened in baseball this year when a player got like somebody insulted his mom who died like five years earlier and the player got banned for life.

00:30:50.000 Or the fan got banned for life.

00:30:52.000 That's a little different, I guess.

00:30:55.000 I mean, depends the line, I suppose.

00:30:55.000 Yeah.

00:30:58.000 I mean, there's a line there, but it's a lot of people are going to say, like, look, you're making millions of dollars a year.

00:31:02.000 Your job is to be literally a stone.

00:31:04.000 You should not be, it should not affect your play.

00:31:06.000 It should not stop gameplay.

00:31:08.000 One of the famous examples was the Eagles when Michael Irvin got a career-ending injury and the Eagles fans celebrated it.

00:31:16.000 And this is like 25 years ago, and they went nuts.

00:31:19.000 I mean, that's Eagles fans, but they did not ban all those fans for life, obviously.

00:31:23.000 Those guys have been probably going to games for life ever since.

00:31:26.000 That happened.

00:31:27.000 Like, it was the Raptors and Warriors, and it was the NBA Finals, and Kevin Durant popped his Achilles.

00:31:32.000 It was obvious he was done.

00:31:34.000 And some of the fans were like, yeah, we're going to actually have a chance of winning now.

00:31:37.000 And Drake had to do this performative, like, no.

00:31:43.000 And it was like the funniest thing ever because it was like, everyone's like, no, we have a chance now.

00:31:46.000 Kevin Rand's hurt.

00:31:47.000 This is great.

00:31:47.000 But everyone had to pretend like it was this great tragedy.

00:31:50.000 Yeah, no one got.

00:31:52.000 We got another.

00:31:54.000 Wait, I mean, shouldn't this have already been passed?

00:31:57.000 So WNBA's got another one. 1.00

00:31:59.000 Okay.

00:32:00.000 So it's as of today.

00:32:01.000 Okay.

00:32:02.000 So Polymarket, because someone did throw a dildo already before the 10th, they resolved that and they launched a new one.

00:32:09.000 Will another one be thrown by Friday?

00:32:11.000 70% says yes.

00:32:13.000 So like, here's what's going to happen.

00:32:14.000 Some dude's going to go in here. 1.00

00:32:15.000 He's going to go, like, I guarantee there's a guy going to a loan shark right now, being like, I need a million dollars.

00:32:20.000 You give me a million dollars today.

00:32:22.000 I pay you back tomorrow.

00:32:23.000 Here's my plan.

00:32:24.000 And then, you know, actually, I don't think I think you can do 100K.

00:32:28.000 Let's, what's the max bet?

00:32:29.000 It doesn't even come up.

00:32:30.000 Let's just say he's going to do 124,000.

00:32:34.000 You'll win $40,000.

00:32:35.000 It goes to a loan shark. 0.73

00:32:36.000 And he's like, I need $124,000 and a dildo.

00:32:40.000 And I will make you your money back plus $10K. 0.77

00:32:43.000 And they're like, this is so crazy.

00:32:46.000 What's your plan?

00:32:47.000 He's going to bet.

00:32:48.000 He's going to go to an WNBA game.

00:32:49.000 He's going to walk in, go, hook. 0.79

00:32:51.000 He's going to walk out and he's going to collect.

00:32:53.000 Yeah.

00:32:54.000 Well, it's not.

00:32:54.000 This isn't odds of it happening.

00:32:56.000 It's the 30% chance that security actually takes it.

00:32:59.000 Because everyone's like, I bet everyone in the same place.

00:33:01.000 They're arresting people, too.

00:33:02.000 So you have to also save some of that money for bail.

00:33:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:05.000 Like, this is risky.

00:33:06.000 Wait, they're arresting people with dildos?

00:33:08.000 Yeah.

00:33:09.000 The first guy who threw it, they arrested him.

00:33:12.000 Oh, well, I mean, for throwing it.

00:33:14.000 Yeah, it's a crime.

00:33:15.000 They don't.

00:33:15.000 But Sir Haver just pointing out if they don't allow you to have your bags in the premise anymore, there's some creative ways people can smuggle those.

00:33:24.000 Have you ever seen that famous clip of Kelsey Plum throwing the t-shirt to the top level of the stadium? 1.00

00:33:30.000 Somebody motion captured a dildo onto it.

00:33:34.000 I was at the players start fighting back.

00:33:36.000 No, I'll show you.

00:33:37.000 I was at, I think it might have been the DNC, or it might have been the RNC.

00:33:42.000 I was thinking that was at the RNC in Florida, and this is like probably 2015 or something, like some Republican convention.

00:33:48.000 And I was invited by a friend who was working on one of the campaigns, and I had my backpack with me with my laptop and my computer.

00:33:55.000 And I got stopped by cops as I was walking.

00:33:57.000 I was walking around the arena, like taking pictures and stuff, posting on X. And the cops told me that they had to search my bag because someone had smuggled in a double-sided, if you know what I mean.

00:34:07.000 And I started laughing and I was like, bro, you can take my bag.

00:34:10.000 I'm a journalist.

00:34:11.000 I was invited here.

00:34:12.000 I'm friends with someone working on the campaign.

00:34:14.000 And they were like, well, to be honest, that's what a person with a double-sided in their bag would say.

00:34:20.000 And I was like, bro, here you go.

00:34:21.000 And they looked at it and they're like, okay, all right.

00:34:24.000 And then they started laughing. 0.72

00:34:25.000 And I started laughing and I was like, bro, are you legit searching everyone's bag to try and find a double-sided dildo?

00:34:29.000 And they were like, we have to do it, dude.

00:34:31.000 Like someone posted online or something and now they're all freaking out.

00:34:36.000 And they were like, someone's going to try and throw it at the stage.

00:34:38.000 And then I was like, well, I hope you find it, I guess.

00:34:41.000 Or not.

00:34:41.000 I don't know.

00:34:42.000 Like the Bush shoe incident times a thousand.

00:34:44.000 Oh, man, dude.

00:34:46.000 What is going on?

00:34:47.000 The Bush shoe incident would definitely not be as funny as a big old wang floppeter. 1.00

00:34:53.000 Big ole wang flying.

00:34:57.000 That's wild, man.

00:34:59.000 Let's jump to the real news, my friends.

00:34:59.000 All right.

00:35:01.000 I know we're having fun here.

00:35:02.000 We got this in the Texas Tribune.

00:35:04.000 Paxton launches investigation into Beto O'Rourke's political group for funding Democrats who left the state.

00:35:11.000 Yes.

00:35:11.000 Hey, the Attorney General accuses the organization of running a financial influence scheme that convinces Democrats to leave the state.

00:35:18.000 I say bribery scams.

00:35:20.000 In a press release, Paxton said the Texas Tribune reporting on Tuesday that O'Rourke's group is funding the travel and fines for the more than 50 Democrats who left Texas this weekend to shut down the legislature.

00:35:30.000 Bribery.

00:35:31.000 Do it now.

00:35:32.000 Lock them up.

00:35:33.000 If the point of the fine is to deter illicit activities and Beto or Rourke says we'll cover those costs so you have no repercussions, then bribery, because they're taking money in exchange for official duties.

00:35:44.000 Lock them up.

00:35:46.000 Look, man, I am for whatever will throw sand in the gears of what the Democrats are trying.

00:35:52.000 So, yeah, more power to move.

00:35:54.000 What say you, Scott?

00:35:55.000 Lock them up.

00:35:56.000 All right.

00:35:56.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:35:57.000 Committed a crime.

00:35:58.000 You got to arrest them.

00:35:59.000 Otherwise, they're all going to do that and try to disrupt the will of the people.

00:36:03.000 I mean, the majority of the people elected the legislators, they passed the redistricting, and the Democrats are actually trying to thwart democracy.

00:36:11.000 This is the real threat to democracy.

00:36:14.000 They are subverting the will of the people, and they deserve jail time for that.

00:36:18.000 Absolutely.

00:36:19.000 Yeah.

00:36:19.000 It's like, also, how does Beto still have a war chest?

00:36:22.000 Like, we're never going to get rid of him.

00:36:25.000 He's going to be like a 40 years.

00:36:26.000 We're still going to hear about Beto.

00:36:28.000 Bribing people.

00:36:29.000 Yes, we'll take your AR-15s.

00:36:31.000 I'm like 45.

00:36:32.000 I love Illinois, Joe.

00:36:33.000 We're going to take your AR-15.

00:36:36.000 Illinois is the most comical state in terms of gerrymandering because they've gerrymandered to the greatest extent possible.

00:36:43.000 They could not gerrymander anymore.

00:36:45.000 And Pritzker, you know, I got to give a shout out to Colbert.

00:36:47.000 I'll say it again because Colbert actually pulled the map up and called him out on the hypocrisy of this.

00:36:52.000 But Pritzker was like, if they want to gerrymander, then we'll do the same.

00:36:58.000 But you can't.

00:36:59.000 Illinois could not be more gerrymandered.

00:37:00.000 Take a look at District 13.

00:37:02.000 They basically created this big long strip to combine East St. Louis with Urbana.

00:37:07.000 Otherwise, there would be no Democrat district there.

00:37:11.000 So basically, you cut off East St. Louis, you cut off Urbana.

00:37:14.000 This whole section is all conservative voters who are disenfranchised because they wanted to because those metros are not big enough to sustain a district on their own.

00:37:22.000 So this is Illinois' game.

00:37:25.000 I can't remember who said it.

00:37:26.000 They said, that's not a district.

00:37:27.000 That's a road trip.

00:37:28.000 Agreed.

00:37:29.000 And then you can See, they did the same thing with Bloomington, Davenport, and Rockford.

00:37:33.000 Are you kidding me?

00:37:34.000 Illinois is whack. 0.99

00:37:36.000 It is nuts. 0.90

00:37:37.000 So these Democrats want to flee.

00:37:39.000 Everybody knows how bad it is.

00:37:40.000 All right.

00:37:41.000 I say lock them up.

00:37:42.000 Lock them up.

00:37:43.000 You know, to your point, there's there's, I made this point last night.

00:37:46.000 There's not a whole lot that the Democrats can do to actually produce more Democrat seats.

00:37:53.000 They've really mastered gerrymandering.

00:37:56.000 You've got a state like, you know, Massachusetts, which has no Republicans.

00:38:00.000 40% of Massachusetts voted for Donald Trump.

00:38:03.000 Something around 40% voted for Donald Trump last election.

00:38:07.000 There's not one Republican to represent 40% of the population of the state.

00:38:13.000 And it's not like Massachusetts isn't a big state, but it's not a low populist state because Boston's got a lot of people.

00:38:19.000 So the idea that the Democrats are actually worried about democracy and worried about representation, it's a farce.

00:38:27.000 And the way that they portray this whole debacle about Texas, it's as if there is no gerrymandering going on or it's some new phenomenon.

00:38:36.000 And again, they have mastered gerrymandering to the point that you really can't do more as a Democrat and squeeze more Democrat seats out of the country.

00:38:48.000 Like they've really maximized the gerrymandering of all the states.

00:38:52.000 How did they do it in Massachusetts?

00:38:54.000 Pardon me?

00:38:54.000 How is it done in Massachusetts?

00:38:56.000 What do you mean?

00:38:57.000 Like, how is the gerrymandering done so that there are no Republicans?

00:39:00.000 Oh, no, y'all are wrong.

00:39:01.000 Look, the gerrymandering Princeton project gives Massachusetts an A, an A rating.

00:39:06.000 It's a whole lot of people.

00:39:07.000 And it's a 40% Republican state with not a single Republican district.

00:39:12.000 Not just that.

00:39:12.000 If you look at a map of the whole, like all the states combined, is not even Massachusetts even border Republican district.

00:39:19.000 Like it's surrounded on all sides because Connecticut doesn't have any.

00:39:21.000 Rhode Island doesn't have any.

00:39:23.000 New Hampshire.

00:39:23.000 Yeah.

00:39:24.000 To be fair, 36% Trump supporting state.

00:39:29.000 And we can take a look at where these pockets are, but it don't matter.

00:39:34.000 Don't matter.

00:39:35.000 Because the way you drop the map guarantees there will never be a Republican district in Massachusetts.

00:39:40.000 Well, Maryland's another horrible state. 0.85

00:39:42.000 I want to see their rating for Maryland because Maryland, it should be a couple seats that Republicans should compete in.

00:39:48.000 And they ensured it's just one Republican seat, a B. Oh, dude, everybody. 0.91

00:39:52.000 And yeah, it's like that district should be Republican on the West, but they've ensured that it's not, that it's never going to be.

00:39:58.000 Yeah, what they did was by combining, I forgot how I did it, but I was talking to some locals, and it's they by putting Frederick in Western Maryland, it basically ensures because that's a population of like 500,000 in their metro.

00:40:12.000 They carved out a portion on the east so that they could add the rest to the western Mary to Western Maryland and convert what is largely Trump country just north of West Virginia into a Democrat district.

00:40:23.000 And everybody's pissed.

00:40:26.000 That's Democratic.

00:40:27.000 That's democracy.

00:40:28.000 When Republicans do that, that's a threat.

00:40:30.000 And we have to use all available means to stop it.

00:40:34.000 Yeah, I'm really worried about democracy, guys.

00:40:36.000 We need to make sure all these Republicans do not have seats.

00:40:39.000 But there's a lot of uninformed people who really believe that only Republicans gerrymander because they listen to late night talk shows.

00:40:45.000 Well, Colbert is still on air.

00:40:47.000 They listen to the rant of CNN and MSNBC, and they never point out that Illinois, Maryland, various other states, and what California is going to do.

00:40:55.000 Whenever they hear gerrymandering, they think it's Southern segregationists come back from the 1950s and they're carving up.

00:41:02.000 They're like, we're not going to give Democrats this area.

00:41:05.000 And every state does it.

00:41:08.000 Wait till the America Party gets their seats.

00:41:10.000 Yeah.

00:41:12.000 I'm going to hold my breath for that.

00:41:14.000 I love this.

00:41:14.000 Yeah, well, they're going to have to gerrymander every, like all the other districts.

00:41:17.000 Gerrymander.

00:41:18.000 Keep out the America Party. 0.99

00:41:20.000 Look how ridiculous Dallas is. 1.00

00:41:23.000 This is before the redistricting. 0.99

00:41:26.000 This is just insanity.

00:41:27.000 Well, they do in Texas.

00:41:29.000 The reason they make the blue ones is so they can sink as many Democrat voters into one seat. 0.98

00:41:32.000 Like if you go look at San Antonio, there's one that stretches from the south side of San Antonio all the way to the north side of Austin.

00:41:38.000 It's purely just to sink all the Democrats.

00:41:40.000 See that?

00:41:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:41:41.000 So you can sink every Democrat into one district.

00:41:45.000 Movie fans will know that 71% Democratic vote.

00:41:48.000 How is that a district?

00:41:50.000 Like, what's the rationale?

00:41:53.000 People's representatives voted for it.

00:41:55.000 I think people need to understand this too, though.

00:41:57.000 There is no alternative.

00:41:59.000 None.

00:42:00.000 Every district must be 50-50.

00:42:00.000 What's the argument?

00:42:03.000 Well, that's impossible.

00:42:04.000 So then it's like, well, this one, this district is very heavy Democrat.

00:42:08.000 And what are we supposed to do?

00:42:10.000 So my attitude is the system doesn't work in and of itself.

00:42:16.000 That the way it was set up for districting for the federal government makes literally no sense.

00:42:20.000 And I don't know that the founding fathers understood that gerrymandering will happen.

00:42:25.000 It's a guarantee.

00:42:26.000 It has to happen.

00:42:27.000 Again, what are we going to do?

00:42:29.000 Put blocks.

00:42:30.000 A district must be 500 by 500 feet or miles or something, or just maybe not miles.

00:42:30.000 Okay.

00:42:36.000 Or yeah, that's it.

00:42:38.000 And however many people are in are in it.

00:42:39.000 Thank you to have a nice day.

00:42:41.000 Otherwise, what are you going to do?

00:42:42.000 You're going to draw districts and then you're going to have to choose what percentage will this district be Democrat-Republican or political affiliation.

00:42:49.000 I suppose to the founding fathers, they thought there aren't two political parties.

00:42:53.000 Now there are.

00:42:55.000 And also, if they're not even going with the 50-50 block or some type of mathematical formula, it's going to be left to the federal government and liberal bureaucrats to decide.

00:43:05.000 And that's taking the power away from the states and the state representatives and senators that the people elected to draw the maps.

00:43:11.000 And instead of putting it in the hands of Washington, D.C. bureaucrats to determine, and they're not going to go after Illinois.

00:43:17.000 They're not going to go after New Jersey.

00:43:18.000 They're not going to go after Rhode Island or any other state.

00:43:21.000 They're only going to go after Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky.

00:43:24.000 They're only going to go after red states. 0.74

00:43:26.000 And then they're going to be like, this is bad.

00:43:27.000 And we're going to draw it to be more Democratic friendly.

00:43:30.000 So whenever they complain about gerrymandering, it's to benefit the Democrats.

00:43:34.000 And they'll never go after Republicans for this.

00:43:36.000 All that matters is who wins at the state level.

00:43:40.000 And then they decide what your representation is going to be.

00:43:43.000 Goodbye.

00:43:45.000 So the Republicans won in Texas.

00:43:47.000 They have the right to do this.

00:43:48.000 I love listening to Pritzker where he's like, they're trying to steal seats from you.

00:43:52.000 And I'm like, well, hold on.

00:43:53.000 They were elected.

00:43:55.000 They have the authority under their government to do exactly what they're doing.

00:43:58.000 How's that stealing?

00:43:59.000 But you fleeing the state to break quorum, which quorum was not, this rule was not put in place so that you could just shut things down.

00:44:08.000 That would be violating the rules for which you are facing arrest and fines.

00:44:13.000 Sounds like you're stealing.

00:44:14.000 Do we, do the people of, let me ask you this.

00:44:17.000 If you have the legal authority to take an object and then you take that object, is that stealing?

00:44:21.000 No.

00:44:22.000 If you are threatened with arrest and fines for the actions you have taken, is that more likely to be stealing?

00:44:31.000 I mean, yeah.

00:44:32.000 Uh-huh.

00:44:33.000 So usually if the Democrats are facing the charges and the criminal charges for bribery and all that, I'm going to go up to and assume the one trying to steal power here is the Democrats for which they're breaking the law.

00:44:44.000 Yeah.

00:44:46.000 The question, I guess, is, are Republicans going to be whiny little babies or are they actually going to do their jobs? 0.98

00:44:52.000 Whiny little babies. 0.99

00:44:53.000 Whiny little babies.

00:44:54.000 I mean, that's the, that's what's like.

00:44:55.000 Do you think they're going to be whiny little babies?

00:44:57.000 Yes.

00:44:58.000 I think Trump, I think Trump has changed the math because I think people realize like the point of politics isn't principles.

00:45:04.000 The point is like winning and Trump wins.

00:45:07.000 And it's like you have Republicans have to be confident wielding power.

00:45:11.000 And that's been the biggest problem for the last 50 years is Republicans get power and then they're terrified that they have it.

00:45:15.000 Trump comes in and he's comfortable wielding power and we need to be confident in ourselves and it's a beautiful thing.

00:45:20.000 And I love saying that Texas is like going hard in the paint.

00:45:23.000 And the easiest way to please the base right now is to promise to arrest Democrats.

00:45:27.000 I mean, look at what Trump's doing with the DOJ.

00:45:29.000 They're like, we've got people angry, promised to arrest Obama.

00:45:34.000 They're trying to press charges against Adam Schiff and a lot of other people.

00:45:37.000 They would like nothing more than to arrest the entire Texas Democrats who fled to Illinois.

00:45:44.000 So they're going to, it's not just and Ken Paxon's running for the Senate.

00:45:48.000 He wants to show that he's a stronger conservative than Cornyn.

00:45:51.000 And what better way to do that than to work with Trump's DOJ to arrest Democrats?

00:45:56.000 And that's going to be a big hit within the primary.

00:45:59.000 Now, with the general electorate, I don't think they really care that much.

00:46:03.000 I mean, what the Democrats did to Trump and people who supported him over the last four years, you know, they already set the precedent.

00:46:11.000 And we're now just following the precedent that they set.

00:46:13.000 And they're actually committing crimes here and going against the will of the people and trying to steal democracy away from the people of Texas.

00:46:20.000 And so they should use all available means.

00:46:22.000 I think Republicans would like nothing more than to arrest these people.

00:46:26.000 Well, I mean, I'm not so sure that you're right.

00:46:29.000 I want that to be the truth, but I don't know that they actually do have the gumption to do it.

00:46:35.000 Yeah, I don't buy it.

00:46:37.000 What if they're like Beto, you're under arrest for writing a skateboard out on the primary?

00:46:42.000 I would support that.

00:46:43.000 I would support that as a skateboard.

00:46:47.000 Like I said, under arrest for cringe.

00:46:49.000 Locked up.

00:46:50.000 Like I said, I'm all for the Republicans exercising power because they have it.

00:46:55.000 I'm all for doing whatever they can to throw sand of the gears of things that the Democrats want.

00:47:01.000 I want to pull back all sorts of laws that Democrats have passed.

00:47:07.000 I just don't know exactly how far Republicans are willing to go.

00:47:11.000 I mean, even now, Cornyn is balking at recess appointments that Donald Trump is trying to get through.

00:47:18.000 He's not going to have the Senate there to actually do this stuff.

00:47:23.000 So I'm not so sure that they have the intestinal fortitude to do it.

00:47:27.000 I would love to see it, though.

00:47:28.000 That's the problem with Corny.

00:47:30.000 That's the problem that Paxon's trying to highlight with Cornyn: he won't do this, but they need to do this.

00:47:34.000 Now, I don't know if the federal government will try to help Texas out in there.

00:47:39.000 I mean, they would try to like, what they want is to at least arrest one or two to set an example and to draw them back in.

00:47:47.000 Maybe they can, I don't know, lure them to like a McDonald's or maybe there's some free meal or they give them free WNBA tickets. 0.58

00:47:57.000 They all just show up and then they arrest them before they get in the game.

00:48:01.000 They'll find something, some way to transport them back.

00:48:01.000 I don't know.

00:48:04.000 It's a good place to do it.

00:48:05.000 Luigi got arrested at a McDonald's.

00:48:07.000 There you go.

00:48:07.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:48:08.000 So I guess that's what they need to do.

00:48:10.000 Offer free WNBA tickets to reward their service to democracy.

00:48:14.000 And they get on a free bus and then that bus takes them back to Austin.

00:48:20.000 Look, anything that will allow the Democrats to think that they're going to get some attention, like get, you know, get on TV or get a bunch of clicks or whatever, anything that you can come up with that'll make them feel that way will draw them in, I'm sure, because they're all just grandstanding.

00:48:35.000 The whole point of this is grandstanding.

00:48:37.000 That's like all those Democratic lawmakers who want to get arrested at the ICE facilities.

00:48:41.000 They were begging.

00:48:41.000 They're like, please arrest me, please.

00:48:43.000 And they did.

00:48:44.000 And now they're pressing charges against them that they probably didn't wish for, but they got what they wanted.

00:48:49.000 Let's jump to the next story from NPR, ladies and gentlemen. 0.91

00:48:52.000 After an ex-Doge staffer's assault, Trump threatens to federalize D.C. My friends, big balls has earned not just the name, but the title. 0.68

00:49:03.000 After, if you guys don't know the story, that guy who goes by Big Balls who worked for Doge, I believe the story is that he saw a young woman being carjacked, intervened to save her, and got mercilessly beaten. 0.96

00:49:14.000 But as was going on, cops pulled up, the attackers fled, and he had saved this young lady, earning not just the name that he had bestowed upon himself, confirming it, but also the title of having big balls.

00:49:26.000 And following this, Trump responded saying that maybe we need to federalize DC, and he should.

00:49:32.000 He can.

00:49:33.000 And I'm waiting.

00:49:35.000 Yeah.

00:49:36.000 I mean, I don't think you should stop at DC.

00:49:38.000 I think you should do New York, LA, Chicago.

00:49:40.000 I'm serious because it's like, this is a total embarrassment that our city, our capital city, looks like this. 1.00

00:49:45.000 I've been to Tokyo.

00:49:46.000 Charlie Kirk was talking about it today.

00:49:48.000 Obviously, there's some intangible differences between.

00:49:48.000 Tokyo.

00:49:52.000 Yeah, like all the masturbation stores they have in Tokyo. 0.97

00:49:54.000 Yeah, well, maybe that helps. 0.98

00:49:55.000 Maybe, you know, a little gooning goes a long way, but a little goon.

00:49:59.000 But no, but like for real, it's a total embarrassment.

00:50:02.000 And Trump totally has a justification to go in and actually solve these cities.

00:50:05.000 I mean, New York City's about to elect a radical Marxist Muslim from Uganda.

00:50:10.000 Like, what are we doing here?

00:50:11.000 Federalize it. 0.60

00:50:12.000 Whatever you need to do.

00:50:13.000 Will it happen?

00:50:14.000 But he totally should.

00:50:14.000 I don't know.

00:50:15.000 He shouldn't stop at D.C. Yeah. 0.93

00:50:17.000 I actually just, I want to stress that I find Japan to be disgusting. 1.00

00:50:22.000 Oh, they're definitely perfect at the guild. 0.92

00:50:24.000 They have vending machines with like women's, you know, underwear and just other really nasty stuff. 0.99

00:50:30.000 And dude, I'm a big fan of just Japan in general, you know?

00:50:37.000 But going there, there's some really great things.

00:50:39.000 Like I stayed at a hotel and for breakfast, we had like a regular continental breakfast.

00:50:43.000 And I was like, hey, look at this, you got eggs and sausage.

00:50:45.000 But the breadbasket were these weird little buns and opened them up.

00:50:50.000 It was, they were rice buns.

00:50:53.000 It was amazing.

00:50:54.000 And I went to a karaoke bar and it was shoulder to shoulder packed.

00:50:58.000 And I sang with our tour, our fixer.

00:51:00.000 We sang, what are we saying?

00:51:02.000 That Aladdin song, Show You the World, was it called?

00:51:06.000 Whole New World?

00:51:06.000 Whole New World.

00:51:07.000 There you go.

00:51:08.000 I did a duet with this old lady.

00:51:10.000 Rest in peace.

00:51:11.000 She was a fixer going into Fukushima. 0.96

00:51:11.000 She died of cancer. 0.96

00:51:13.000 I had an amazing time.

00:51:14.000 But yo, I got to tell you, you go to the city and they've got these signs everywhere.

00:51:18.000 And I'm like, I thought it was a fast food restaurant.

00:51:20.000 I kept asking, like, what is this place we keep seeing? 0.95

00:51:23.000 It was a masturbatorium. 0.88

00:51:25.000 And they're everywhere. 0.99

00:51:26.000 And I'm like, this is a disgusting country. 0.95

00:51:27.000 Japan definitely does not have Western sensibilities. 0.96

00:51:30.000 That goes without saying.

00:51:31.000 Go to Austin, Texas. 1.00

00:51:32.000 She's looking masturbatory. 0.98

00:51:34.000 It's called underpasses. 0.99

00:51:35.000 Yeah, you know, you're probably right.

00:51:37.000 You're probably right.

00:51:37.000 No WNBA games allow.

00:51:39.000 The gooning there is not regulated in Austin.

00:51:41.000 It's all off the books.

00:51:43.000 But in all seriousness, you are correct that other capital cities don't look like ours. 0.99

00:51:48.000 And it is disgusting that this country is the greatest country in the country, a country on the planet, but D.C. is a crime-ridden scumhole. 1.00

00:51:57.000 D.C. just sucks. 1.00

00:51:58.000 It just does. 1.00

00:51:59.000 I don't care what anybody says.

00:52:00.000 Bro, we've been going there for these live shows.

00:52:03.000 We're doing culture war. 0.52

00:52:05.000 May sell out the culture war this Friday.

00:52:07.000 So I think we've got, we've got a couple dozen tickets left, so it's looking decent, but we just, we sell big junks.

00:52:12.000 We've been going there.

00:52:13.000 You drive through DC.

00:52:15.000 There are tents just on the sidewalk.

00:52:17.000 Not underpasses, not near construction sites, near buildings where people work and live.

00:52:22.000 There's just like three tents.

00:52:23.000 And I'm like, why do they not remove this?

00:52:27.000 What is wrong with this city?

00:52:28.000 And no, no.

00:52:29.000 And I'm going to say, why Won't Trump.

00:52:31.000 Why won't Trump just do it?

00:52:34.000 I'm done.

00:52:35.000 I am so sick of this.

00:52:36.000 Maybe Trump's like, you know what I'm going to do?

00:52:38.000 I'm going to win.

00:52:39.000 And then just dangle it, but do nothing to get him blue balled. 0.78

00:52:42.000 And the next guy is going to go ham.

00:52:43.000 Is that his plan?

00:52:45.000 Just get us all worked up being like, maybe he'll enforce the law.

00:52:48.000 And then when he doesn't, we vote for the guy with the iron fist.

00:52:51.000 The one thing that's the upside is the entire admin is radicalized after seeing this happen, that it could be any of them.

00:52:57.000 And they're all weighing on Trump heavily to consider this.

00:52:59.000 And like the thing about Trump is he definitely listens to people that are around him a little too much sometimes.

00:53:05.000 I mean, they definitely want to do it.

00:53:06.000 I mean, the thing about DC is though, it went 95% for his opponents and all these.

00:53:11.000 They're the ones who are like the most opposed to it.

00:53:13.000 And it's like, we're trying to help you.

00:53:15.000 So you can walk around at night and not have to worry about shootings at nightclubs.

00:53:19.000 Because, I mean, D.C. has completely changed over the last 10 years.

00:53:21.000 I mean, it's become much more violent.

00:53:23.000 The nightlife has died out.

00:53:25.000 There's all these now homeless encampments and they don't arrest people.

00:53:29.000 The only people they arrest are the few who actually practice self-defense because there was a story a few years ago.

00:53:35.000 Actually, I think it was like last year where a guy confronted these carjackers, these kids who were, well, kids, youths.

00:53:41.000 They're carjacking.

00:53:43.000 And, you know, they got in a scuffle.

00:53:44.000 He pulled out a gun.

00:53:45.000 You know, they attacked him and he shot him. 0.92

00:53:47.000 And they first all was like, this must have been a white supremacist who did this.

00:53:50.000 I'm like, probably not.

00:53:51.000 It turned out to be a black city employee or government worker.

00:53:55.000 And then they're like, cooled off. 0.95

00:53:56.000 It's like, well, we can't make this about racism, but we still can't have citizens, even if they're black, white, Hispanic, or whatever, shooting at criminals.

00:54:03.000 And then they convicted him on very serious charges.

00:54:06.000 So the only people that they're able to really convict are the few who actually try to stand up for themselves against the criminals.

00:54:12.000 Because most of the time, if you know, if Big Balls was not Big Balls, they'd probably just forgotten about this.

00:54:18.000 I have had friends who've gotten their cars broken into or their motorcycles stolen, and the cops just say, tough luck.

00:54:24.000 And that even happens with assaults and everything.

00:54:26.000 And the only reason that this is getting national tensions is because it's pissed off in the United States of America, President of the United States of America.

00:54:32.000 Well, that's the thing is, like, I don't even care about protecting D.C. residents or doing anything good for them. 0.98

00:54:37.000 Honestly, like, screw them.

00:54:38.000 I care about the Patriots that live in the city and work. 0.97

00:54:40.000 There's not many of them, so we need to protect them.

00:54:43.000 And yeah, so I don't, I mean, if it's going to help D.C., it's like, I don't really care.

00:54:46.000 I'm not countersignaling.

00:54:47.000 I'm just saying, like, I don't care if it helps people in D.C. at all.

00:54:50.000 This is for patriots so they can go to and fro patriot institutions safely.

00:54:54.000 Well, it's our nation's capital.

00:54:56.000 And there's all these tourists from middle America and they don't want to be attacked and robbed. 0.97

00:54:59.000 You know, you know, what's happening now is people are fleeing DC and they're moving out here and they're turning the areas purple and they're bringing their dumb politics with them. 0.85

00:55:10.000 Yo, it's wild the developments that are going on in West Virginia. 0.96

00:55:15.000 It's it's crazy.

00:55:16.000 Like, yo, there are plots of land out here that we were looking at years ago and it was like big plot of land, couple million bucks, something.

00:55:25.000 They're sold and now there's like 50 houses.

00:55:27.000 And it's just each house now selling for half a million dollars.

00:55:30.000 And who's moving in?

00:55:32.000 People from DC who don't want to live in crime, who voted for it and who will vote for it here and make everything worse.

00:55:38.000 And that's what they do.

00:55:39.000 It's like that scene from The Matrix where Agent Smith is like, you know, I tried to classify humans.

00:55:46.000 And then he basically said that humans are a disease, a virus that's spread from one region to another, destroying it.

00:55:53.000 Liberals, maybe. 0.78

00:55:54.000 It's like the aliens from Independence Day.

00:55:56.000 Yeah.

00:55:57.000 I mean, I live in one of the, or my place around here is in one of the new developments.

00:55:57.000 Yeah.

00:56:02.000 I'm the first person to rent the place.

00:56:04.000 And the area is nice and all my neighbors are nice and stuff.

00:56:09.000 But it's like, I do wonder, it's like, how many of these people are actually going to vote for conservative ideas?

00:56:16.000 Are the people that are moving in here?

00:56:17.000 Are they actually going to vote red?

00:56:20.000 Or are they going to be liberals and essentially try to make this place like where they came from?

00:56:27.000 And it worries me because I like the laws here in West Virginia.

00:56:33.000 Even though my vote doesn't really matter because it's a very red state, I don't want to see it change.

00:56:40.000 That's an argument to get rid of the crime because you keep it as a Democrat enclosure.

00:56:45.000 These people stay there.

00:56:47.000 They don't have a senator.

00:56:49.000 They don't have any senators.

00:56:50.000 And that's a reason to clean it up is that you can have their liberal utopia in DC and they're not moving out to West Virginia or to Virginia.

00:56:58.000 Maryland's already blue, but it helps the other states have a competitive advantage and keep and stay red.

00:57:05.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 I mean, because that's kind of the, that's kind of this somewhat of a fallacy that Republicans have embraced is like they can just change everyone's minds.

00:57:11.000 And it's like, at a certain level, you got to like, you know, daddy's got to lay the hammer down, like the UN chief or the NATO chief called so accurate.

00:57:18.000 It's like, you have to lay the hammer down here.

00:57:20.000 For people to change their mind, they need to actually have something happen to them, not just move, right?

00:57:24.000 Like people have a nature, right?

00:57:27.000 Like, I don't believe in the clean, the blank slate one bit.

00:57:31.000 I think that people have a nature.

00:57:33.000 When you're born, you're probably going to be a conservative.

00:57:36.000 You're probably going to be a liberal.

00:57:38.000 If something happens to you, that might change the way you see things.

00:57:41.000 Like, you know, if you, if you are a liberal and you get mugged or whatever, you might be like, well, maybe we do need more police or maybe I should, you know, maybe I should support the Second Amendment.

00:57:50.000 But there's no guarantee of that because that, you know, there's, you hear stories about people that get mugged and they're like, well, you know, the poor guy that mugged me, he, you know, they start making excuses like he was oppressed or whatever, you know, he had a hard life or whatever.

00:58:03.000 So I don't, I don't believe that it's, it's easy to change people's minds or you can really have a conversation and make people say, you know what?

00:58:11.000 I do think the left is actually wrong now.

00:58:13.000 It's no, it's, it's much harder than that.

00:58:15.000 I love that video that James O'Keeve did where they went door to door and he was like, he's like, hi, we're, we're, we're gun control advocates.

00:58:22.000 We believe that strong gun laws can prevent violence.

00:58:25.000 We were wondering if you agreed.

00:58:26.000 And they're like, yes, of course.

00:58:27.000 We think, you know, in gun control, he's like, do you, do you own a gun?

00:58:29.000 They're like, oh, we don't.

00:58:30.000 He's like, can I put this sign in your yard so that we can, you know, and the sign says proud gun-free home.

00:58:36.000 And the people are like, no, I don't want that in my lawn.

00:58:39.000 And he's like, well, but why not?

00:58:41.000 I mean, we're here to make a statement that you don't need guns.

00:58:43.000 And it's like, well, it sounds like you're inviting people.

00:58:46.000 And then James goes, it sounds like you're saying you need guns.

00:58:49.000 He's like, well, no, but yeah, we get it.

00:58:52.000 You hope everyone thinks you have a gun and you don't want to tell them you don't.

00:58:57.000 Because they wish they had guns.

00:58:58.000 That's it. 0.99

00:58:59.000 There was one viral video I saw where some woman bought a gun and then someone in her family, she was secretly recording herself and they were insulting her and calling her stupid for buying a gun, saying it's dangerous. 1.00

00:59:09.000 You're crazy. 1.00

00:59:10.000 You know, you're going down a rabbit hole, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:59:13.000 Far right.

00:59:14.000 Go back, go back to Venezuela. 0.99

00:59:17.000 You live there under the government.

00:59:19.000 See how that goes for you.

00:59:20.000 He had the one, I don't remember the name.

00:59:22.000 It was, he was like a progressive Brooklyn activist and he was with his girlfriend on the show.

00:59:26.000 Oh, yeah.

00:59:27.000 And he got like stabbed to death.

00:59:29.000 And his girlfriend was like, oh, he would have forgave the guy.

00:59:32.000 And then she's like stumping for Zoron now.

00:59:34.000 So it's like people could literally have the worst thing possible happen right in front of their face and they won't change their population.

00:59:39.000 They're that fanatically loyal to these ideas.

00:59:41.000 There's a lot of people in DC like that.

00:59:43.000 There was a guy that had some, there's one story.

00:59:46.000 It was like in 2021 or 2022 when the crime was really bad.

00:59:49.000 It's bad now, but it was really bad then.

00:59:52.000 And there was some guy who built up a basketball goal for these local youths to play and it was near his house, but they would play late and disrupt his kids sleep.

01:00:00.000 He had like a young daughter, and he went out and went nicely to tell them to not play basketball.

01:00:07.000 And they're like, they thought he was disrespecting them. 0.90

01:00:10.000 And then they beat the crap out of him.

01:00:12.000 And there was like blood all over the street. 0.57

01:00:14.000 And then they took down the basketball goal.

01:00:16.000 And then, like, we still feel it was bad because, you know, we're white and they were not. 0.97

01:00:22.000 And we're, you know, we're trying to be sensitive in this.

01:00:25.000 And it's like this guy, these kids nearly beat your husband to death, and you still have these views.

01:00:30.000 Yeah, that's the suicidal empathy that they talk about these days.

01:00:34.000 I don't, I don't believe that that's a real thing, though.

01:00:36.000 I think they're just terrified people.

01:00:38.000 It's more of like capture.

01:00:41.000 Like when that guy at the house says, no, don't put that sign in my lawn, it was him telling on himself.

01:00:47.000 He knows exactly the importance of guns and guns as a deterrent.

01:00:50.000 So he doesn't want to advertise his and have one.

01:00:52.000 These people who are doing this thing about, oh, but white people, whatever, what they're really saying is, please just stop attacking us.

01:00:58.000 I'll say whatever you want. 0.89

01:00:59.000 It's like the what was the story from a couple years ago about the woman who did the TED talk with the guy who raped her? 0.83

01:01:06.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:07.000 That's like, that's that, that is, that's not fear.

01:01:11.000 That's just insane.

01:01:12.000 There are a few insane people who will do that because there's been even stories that they love to highlight post-Floyd, whereas like some daughter reached out to their father's killer.

01:01:23.000 And of course, he was from an oppress group and they were, we wanted to reach an understanding with him.

01:01:28.000 And there was like even the stuff with Molly Tibbett's family, if you guys remember Molly Tibbetts, who was that University of Iowa student who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant.

01:01:37.000 And her family spent more of their time defending illegal immigrants and in some ways sympathizing with the killer because they were so upset that Don Jr. and other Trump conservatives were highlighting this case to show the danger of illegal immigration.

01:01:52.000 And then they went all board to say, we love illegal immigrants.

01:01:56.000 And we won't allow this to be politicized.

01:01:59.000 Y'all saw that AI interview that accosted with the puppeteered corpse.

01:02:03.000 I like to, I refer to that as Jim Acosta puppeteering a corpse.

01:02:07.000 He, for those on it familiar, the family of one of the Parkland victims loaded an image into an AI generator and some prompts to create a version of their facsimile of their son.

01:02:19.000 I don't see that as any different than exhuming the corpse and jamming your hand in the back of the skull and puppeteering the face.

01:02:26.000 So I think this is all just generally disgusting. 0.99

01:02:28.000 Disgusting behavior. 0.73

01:02:30.000 But let's jump to this next story.

01:02:31.000 We got this on the post-millennial.

01:02:32.000 Arson attack on ICE office in Washington forces agents to flee.

01:02:37.000 Yo, this is crazy.

01:02:39.000 Federal immigration agents were forced to flee a field office in Yakima, Washington over the weekend after an arson attack damaged the property, according to a report by the New York Post.

01:02:48.000 The incident occurred on Saturday when an unidentified suspect reportedly threw a rock into the window of the building before igniting a fire behind the property.

01:02:55.000 Flames were seen burning the grass outside the fenced perimeter and a large cloud of smoke formed.

01:02:59.000 No injuries were reported in the attack.

01:03:01.000 The office is located about 140 miles southeast of Seattle and houses operations for ICE as well as Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.

01:03:10.000 The attack comes as ICE personnel have seen an 830% increase in assaults, et cetera.

01:03:14.000 We get it.

01:03:15.000 You know what's fascinating is I think it was just a guitar lov on the five today saying that the reason ICE is doing all these commercials where they're offering $50,000 sign-on bonus.

01:03:25.000 Yeah, and there's like no, like there's no age limit to it now.

01:03:28.000 Dean Kane signed up.

01:03:29.000 Superman.

01:03:30.000 But did he actually sign up to be an ICE officer, like an agent?

01:03:33.000 He said, I signed up.

01:03:34.000 I have no idea whether he's actually going to do it.

01:03:35.000 He's like Tom Cruise and Edget Tomorrow.

01:03:37.000 Yeah, we need to send you out there and film so you look good.

01:03:40.000 We need to send Tate to sign up and go through the sign up to be an ICE agent and then you report back and tell us what happened.

01:03:40.000 That's what they're going to do.

01:03:51.000 That's my dream.

01:03:51.000 I can do that.

01:03:53.000 I'm on the older side.

01:03:54.000 So I'm like, I'm not Dean Kane.

01:03:55.000 You're in the Unkhila?

01:03:57.000 I'm Unk track.

01:03:58.000 $50,000 bonus.

01:04:00.000 Well, no, they were also doing the same thing for cops in D.C. Right?

01:04:06.000 Yeah.

01:04:07.000 How long do you got to work there to get the 50K?

01:04:09.000 One year?

01:04:11.000 Ending the age gap. 0.95

01:04:13.000 Bro, imagine like you sign up to go work for ICE and they send you to like Washington. 1.00

01:04:17.000 You're like, fuck. 1.00

01:04:18.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:04:18.000 There's no illegals here. 1.00

01:04:20.000 Well, it's no, you're going to get firebombed every other day.

01:04:23.000 How do you get it?

01:04:23.000 And then they're.

01:04:24.000 I want, how do you get this signing bonus?

01:04:26.000 $60,000 student loan replacement?

01:04:29.000 What does premium pay mean as an asterisk?

01:04:31.000 What is it?

01:04:32.000 Where does the there's no answers here?

01:04:35.000 Is there a cost to apply?

01:04:35.000 Let's see.

01:04:37.000 Nope.

01:04:38.000 What are the benefits compared to a balaclava every day?

01:04:40.000 Right around.

01:04:41.000 What happens?

01:04:42.000 We will move fast and get paid for it.

01:04:44.000 Be a patriot and save.

01:04:44.000 Yeah.

01:04:45.000 Dude, how are more people not taking up on this?

01:04:47.000 It sounds like.

01:04:48.000 It might actually be like you probably have to be duolingual and duolingual.

01:04:53.000 Like you probably have to speak Spanish.

01:04:54.000 You probably have to speak Spanish because you're making shadow in Spanish. 0.98

01:04:58.000 Do you want to be a deportation officer, a criminal investigator, or a general attorney?

01:04:58.000 All right, Tate.

01:05:02.000 I want to be the office deportation officer.

01:05:04.000 Let's go.

01:05:04.000 Deportation.

01:05:06.000 Your service, Mr. Trump, Mr. Miller, Stephen Miller, at your service, sir.

01:05:09.000 You get a salary between four.

01:05:09.000 So let's see.

01:05:11.000 I got a question for you.

01:05:12.000 Honest question.

01:05:13.000 Salary is $49,739 to $89,528.

01:05:17.000 To what?

01:05:17.000 Why?

01:05:18.000 $89,528.

01:05:20.000 Why couldn't they just be like $50,000 to $90?

01:05:23.000 Why do they got to make this weird number?

01:05:24.000 Because you got a staff in like LA.

01:05:26.000 You can't survive in LA with less than $90.

01:05:28.000 Yeah, but why didn't they just put salary $50K to $90,000 instead of these weird $49,700?

01:05:33.000 They're probably legally required to put the like, you know, what you know what I was told by my accountants.

01:05:38.000 My accountant said never round to zeros because it looks weird.

01:05:41.000 So it's like, they're just like, just make it a weird number.

01:05:43.000 Otherwise, it looks like it's fake.

01:05:45.000 You got to be specific.

01:05:47.000 The job is open to the public.

01:05:47.000 All right, let's see.

01:05:49.000 Citizens, nationals who owe allegiance to the U.S. Wow. 1.00

01:05:53.000 Really?

01:05:54.000 Just U.S. citizens, though?

01:05:56.000 A large percentage of ICE agents are.

01:05:59.000 Oh, it's probably like if you're from the Virgin Islands or right, right, right, right, right.

01:06:03.000 That makes sense.

01:06:04.000 Can you imagine?

01:06:05.000 Okay, you must be a U.S. citizen.

01:06:06.000 No, you must be a U.S. citizen.

01:06:08.000 Pass a background test, background investigation.

01:06:14.000 Males born after 1959 must certify registration with selective service.

01:06:20.000 If you're born in 58, you don't have to worry about that.

01:06:22.000 That's right.

01:06:24.000 Pre-employment physical fitness test.

01:06:26.000 Obtain secret clearance.

01:06:28.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:06:29.000 Carry a firearm, Tate.

01:06:31.000 Ooh, Tate, you got to carry a gun.

01:06:32.000 Can you please let me do this too?

01:06:34.000 Bro, no one's stopping you.

01:06:35.000 You don't need my permission.

01:06:38.000 A lot of can film.

01:06:39.000 Yeah, a lot can film.

01:06:40.000 Let's see.

01:06:41.000 Three years, three years of progressively responsible experience, one year, which will equivalent to the GS4 level or above in the federal government.

01:06:49.000 What?

01:06:49.000 Oh, I'm cooked.

01:06:50.000 Wait, what?

01:06:52.000 Are you kidding?

01:06:53.000 That's not open to anybody.

01:06:54.000 Who's going to be able to take that?

01:06:57.000 Best I can do is four months of producing for a podcast.

01:07:01.000 They're like, oh, we'll take you.

01:07:02.000 Okay, wait, wait, wait.

01:07:03.000 Afghanistan in 2015.

01:07:05.000 Hold on.

01:07:06.000 You got to have a college degree.

01:07:08.000 Okay.

01:07:09.000 You have to at least have a four-year degree to work for the gov. Let's see.

01:07:12.000 It must have been attained by a credit university.

01:07:15.000 One-year full-time undergraduate study defined as 30 semester or 45 quarters or combination of education and experience, combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used.

01:07:27.000 I call shenanigans on that.

01:07:29.000 Like I went To high school and I was in my local militia.

01:07:31.000 Does that kind of work?

01:07:32.000 Yeah, I went to school hard knocked.

01:07:34.000 I call shenanigans on telling people they got to get a bachelor's degree in order to be an ICE agent.

01:07:39.000 They said Trisha McLaughlin says you don't need a college degree to sign up for ICE, but I don't know.

01:07:44.000 It says right here.

01:07:45.000 Well, no, you don't, so long as you've got three years' experience at GS4 or above, or you've got combined college and government experience.

01:07:53.000 Like, if you've been a cop for three years, you can forego the college degree, I guess.

01:07:58.000 Don't most police officers have like some kind of degree, though, like a two-year degree, a bachelor's degree.

01:08:03.000 Yeah, a lot of them do.

01:08:06.000 I think like a lot of state troopers require a college degree, but not every police department requires one.

01:08:12.000 This is the problem with government in general.

01:08:16.000 Like, maybe you wouldn't need to offer $50,000 if you let people actually take a test to see if they're worth hiring.

01:08:25.000 The problem I have with this is that as someone who has hired many people and with lots of experience in this, experience is lied about and easily faked, and bachelor's degree prove literal nothing.

01:08:37.000 So it's like if you want someone who's going to do the job and passionately and care about it, these are not ways to test for that.

01:08:43.000 So now they're like, why would anyone apply?

01:08:45.000 Guess we got to offer 50 grand.

01:08:47.000 Bro, there's a whole bunch of working-class Joes with high school diplomas who would sign up in a heartbeat and would beg for a 50K sign-on bonus, take this job and begin the process, but they're iced out. 1.00

01:08:56.000 So that's West Virginia.

01:08:57.000 That's Ohio, Pennsylvania.

01:08:59.000 Working-class blue-collar guys are going to be like, Well, I can't do it.

01:09:01.000 I mean, it's all part of the debt trap we're in in this country, anyways.

01:09:04.000 Which is any job worth applying for is going to require you to go to college for four years and put yourself into debt.

01:09:11.000 So Techno says one podcast, not podcasting.

01:09:14.000 Not in a college degree for podcasts.

01:09:15.000 You can just get the debt for the love of the game if you want.

01:09:18.000 We probably need much higher standards for podcasts.

01:09:20.000 I mean, people that are podcasting these days.

01:09:23.000 A license.

01:09:23.000 Oh, my God.

01:09:24.000 Yeah, you need a license.

01:09:26.000 Yeah.

01:09:26.000 I think it'd be good.

01:09:27.000 I do sometimes wonder on it.

01:09:28.000 I'm like, who the hell let me in here?

01:09:30.000 Can you believe they give me a mic? 1.00

01:09:32.000 Stupid. 1.00

01:09:33.000 To be honest, these are pretty like strict qualifications. 1.00

01:09:36.000 It's pretty wild.

01:09:37.000 Physical, you got, you got to pass a physical test, which I get.

01:09:40.000 They want you to be in to detain people.

01:09:42.000 They like reconstruct the border wall and say you have to climb it and get over the other side.

01:09:46.000 But you actually need a lot to get this job.

01:09:48.000 This is, they make it seem like in these advertisements that anybody can just get it.

01:09:52.000 Just apply and you'll get it.

01:09:53.000 You can't.

01:09:55.000 GL5 experience or GL7 plus passing a physical fitness test.

01:10:01.000 That one I do get.

01:10:02.000 Motor vehicle operation.

01:10:04.000 Age restrictions are listed here.

01:10:05.000 They just got rid of that, but that was listed.

01:10:08.000 I say just take anybody and train them.

01:10:10.000 I don't see what the problem is.

01:10:11.000 That's what they should do, honestly.

01:10:12.000 Deportation officer.

01:10:14.000 Okay, what about criminal investigator?

01:10:15.000 That one's going to be real hard, I bet.

01:10:17.000 That's going to be like, nah, what do they pay?

01:10:20.000 It's $63,000 to $100,000.

01:10:22.000 GL9.

01:10:24.000 Oh, GL9. 1.00

01:10:26.000 Our government is a bunch of morons set up by other morons to tell morons what to do when they don't know what they're doing. 1.00

01:10:32.000 General attorney. 1.00

01:10:33.000 Oh, this one's different.

01:10:35.000 That one's because you need a lot more, right?

01:10:36.000 85%.

01:10:37.000 No law degree to go be general attorney.

01:10:39.000 Oh, no, it's because the high school degree.

01:10:42.000 But it's because they're only hiring five.

01:10:44.000 Whereas like deportation officers are probably hiring tons.

01:10:48.000 Yeah.

01:10:49.000 You know, I look at this and I'm like, America needs you.

01:10:53.000 That's not correct.

01:10:54.000 That is not correct.

01:10:56.000 I say there are a lot of people in West Virginia who'd love to get a $50,000 assignment bonus, get their student loans paid for, and they don't got college degrees, you know?

01:11:04.000 But don't worry, guys, I will never be an ICE agent.

01:11:06.000 You know why?

01:11:07.000 Because I'm a high school dropout.

01:11:09.000 For the left, you got nothing to worry about.

01:11:11.000 You should not worry about anything.

01:11:12.000 Yeah, I don't see why the feds won't actually train people.

01:11:16.000 Like, there's no reason that you have to have a college degree, especially if it's not a specific degree that they're looking for.

01:11:25.000 It's like, oh, you just went to college some.

01:11:27.000 That's like being like, well, you know, you can actually finish your finish work or you actually complete tasks that are given to you.

01:11:34.000 The feds should train people because aside from, I mean, I can't imagine that there's anything particularly, you know, necessary.

01:11:43.000 Like, no, any, I can't imagine that there's any particularly special knowledge that you need to have that they can't give to you.

01:11:49.000 You know, it's like you need to know the law.

01:11:51.000 You need to be able to run people down if they're running away, you know, and you have to be able to work on a team to some degree.

01:11:59.000 Otherwise, what particular special knowledge do you get from college that they couldn't train, you know, train you up in six months or a year or whatever?

01:12:06.000 So someone, Leland Taylor says those are qualifications for GL levels not requisite for employment.

01:12:11.000 So what is the purpose?

01:12:12.000 Correct me if I'm wrong.

01:12:13.000 What is the purpose of including you qualify for GL5 grade if you possess one of the following and it literally lists it as GL5 through seven?

01:12:21.000 Does that not mean that this being a GL5 job requires you to meet the GL5 grade level and here are the things that can qualify you for GL5?

01:12:33.000 Am I reading that?

01:12:34.000 Is that, am I wrong on this one?

01:12:36.000 I could be wrong.

01:12:37.000 I just don't understand why they would say qualifications for GL5, it's a GL5 job if they did not require that.

01:12:45.000 I don't know.

01:12:48.000 Well, there you go.

01:12:49.000 You know.

01:12:51.000 Yeah, I will say this.

01:12:53.000 ICE has been reaching out to people to ask them to shout this out and to make videos promoting this campaign.

01:13:00.000 They are serious about it.

01:13:02.000 Yeah.

01:13:03.000 DHS has been reaching out to people saying, hey, we're trying to get the word out on this.

01:13:07.000 Let everybody know 50K sign-on bonus, student loan repayment repayment.

01:13:10.000 We want to hire as fast as possible.

01:13:12.000 That's a good sign.

01:13:13.000 What's more dangerous, this or being DC police?

01:13:16.000 Because they had like an 80K sign-on bonus or something.

01:13:18.000 Wow.

01:13:19.000 Serge, like, did you see that?

01:13:19.000 Wasn't it?

01:13:21.000 Like, there was like, it was like on the buses in DC.

01:13:23.000 It's like a huge sign-on bonus to work for.

01:13:26.000 I would say DC police would be more dangerous.

01:13:28.000 So higher sign-on.

01:13:28.000 More dangerous.

01:13:28.000 Yeah.

01:13:30.000 In the New York City subway, they had Capitol Police ads.

01:13:32.000 It was the wildest thing.

01:13:33.000 It was like right after J6.

01:13:35.000 Yeah, no, I'd say DC police.

01:13:38.000 If you ever got shot as an ICE agent, man, you're getting like the death.

01:13:41.000 I mean, they would, you're dealing with the federal.

01:13:44.000 It's pretty steep for attacking a federal agent or whatever, you know.

01:13:49.000 I can't imagine that there's just going to be a lot of people.

01:13:50.000 Most of the migrants, I guess, just want to run away rather than trying to, you know, make the problem worse. 1.00

01:13:56.000 Federal rallies.

01:13:57.000 Federalists would be worse.

01:13:59.000 I mean, it could be worse than other cities like Baltimore police.

01:13:59.000 Hauling it.

01:14:02.000 I would say police.

01:14:04.000 I saw the wire.

01:14:05.000 I know.

01:14:06.000 Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.

01:14:08.000 I hope you're ready for this.

01:14:09.000 New virus outbreak in China.

01:14:11.000 What to know about the Chikungunya virus?

01:14:14.000 Yeah, the name is racist.

01:14:16.000 It is.

01:14:18.000 We can't say it.

01:14:19.000 We're just going to say China virus to make it easier so you don't say anything racist.

01:14:21.000 China virus 2, the revenge.

01:14:23.000 A mosquito-borne virus that infected more than 7,000 people across 13 cities in China has sparked precautions similar to those during COVID, the COVID pandemic, and attempts to stop its spread despite the virus not being transmittable from person to person.

01:14:37.000 So it's a way.

01:14:37.000 Yes.

01:14:38.000 Yeah, right.

01:14:39.000 The Chikungunya virus, which spreads only through the bite of infected mosquitoes and is not fatal, has spread quickly across the more dozen cities in this other Guangdong province, just north of Hong Kong, with almost 3,000 cases in the last week alone.

01:14:54.000 So how long until we get the Chikong Gunya vaccine?

01:14:58.000 I mean, I suppose That he's making the vaccine.

01:15:02.000 I suppose that they have to wait until the mosquitoes can cross the Pacific or they get all the way up through Russia and across Alaska and through Canada to down here.

01:15:17.000 If you can't get it.

01:15:20.000 So you guys heard in the past couple of days, thimerosol was banned.

01:15:25.000 You guys did not talk about this.

01:15:25.000 What was that?

01:15:26.000 RFK Jr. just banned a bunch of vaccines?

01:15:29.000 Really?

01:15:29.000 No.

01:15:31.000 Really?

01:15:32.000 No.

01:15:33.000 Yeah, I've heard about.

01:15:35.000 You had no idea?

01:15:36.000 You see what happens when I'm out?

01:15:37.000 The RFK banned a bunch of vaccines.

01:15:39.000 It was the biggest story in the world.

01:15:40.000 I defer to Kellen.

01:15:42.000 Kelly was like, this is talking about sold the mRNA stuff today.

01:15:46.000 Yeah.

01:15:46.000 Well, that too, but thimerosol specifically, which is the mercury-based preservative, has been.

01:15:52.000 What did he say?

01:15:52.000 Causes autism?

01:15:54.000 Yeah.

01:15:55.000 Is that what he said?

01:15:56.000 He's told that that is a conspiracy theory.

01:15:57.000 Yeah.

01:15:59.000 He went after a bunch of them saying that we've determined that they have negative health effects, so we're not going to allow them on the market.

01:16:08.000 I'm pretty sure, like, what is this one?

01:16:12.000 So there's a bunch of stories on this one.

01:16:14.000 I would assumed you guys would have read a little bit about it.

01:16:17.000 A bunch of recent statements.

01:16:20.000 Like, he's basically saying this, and that the data was, there's an addendum to date on these studies, and they're going to be pulling it out.

01:16:28.000 I was talking to a doctor about this because, you know, we just had a kid, and I'm like, so what does this mean for vaccines?

01:16:33.000 And he was like, I have no idea.

01:16:35.000 And it's like, okay.

01:16:37.000 Are they going to get rid of the current ones that have thimerosol?

01:16:39.000 It's like, I would assume so.

01:16:40.000 If RFK's saying to get rid of them, okay, so what do we do?

01:16:42.000 I don't know.

01:16:43.000 And so my question is: if RFK Jr. is saying the mRNA vaccines are bad and thimerosol is bad, though thimerosol was removed from a lot of vaccines a long time ago.

01:16:53.000 Do you trust the government today or yesterday?

01:16:57.000 No.

01:16:58.000 YouTube said that they were going to ban people, said bad things about vaccines, but now the head of HHS is saying that.

01:17:03.000 Do I go with the government or the crypto corporation?

01:17:05.000 You tell me, YouTube, you tell me, because we got the Chicanya virus. 0.99

01:17:09.000 And when that vaccine comes out, I had no idea because I guarantee you, RFK is going to be like, we don't need a vaccine for this one.

01:17:16.000 And then I'm going to be like, but YouTube's going to ban me if I say that.

01:17:18.000 Yeah.

01:17:19.000 So we're on the side of the government or against them.

01:17:22.000 I mean, I have no idea what to do when the government says yes and then says no.

01:17:28.000 So, I mean, it's kind of tough.

01:17:31.000 Thimerosol is a mercury-containing organic compound.

01:17:35.000 So are they banning it because of the mercury content?

01:17:38.000 Because I was under the impression that there was no mercury in vaccines.

01:17:43.000 That's the information that I had had most recently.

01:17:47.000 But if thimerosol is a mercury-containing organic compound, or carrying the craziest thing in the world to me, I'm just going to bring this up from The Guardian.

01:17:58.000 We've got a couple stories related to this one.

01:18:01.000 RFK Jr. to remove preservative thimerosol from all U.S. vaccines.

01:18:05.000 Anti-vaccine campaigns have targeted thimerosol for a decade despite no evidence of ingredient causing harm.

01:18:11.000 I just want to bash my face as hard as I can into this table over and over and over again because the U.S. government made the claim there's no evidence and they all went, oh, then the U.S. government came out and said there is evidence and they still are like, no, our past government gave us the truth.

01:18:29.000 This new government doesn't.

01:18:30.000 And I'm just sitting here being like, the government has had both.

01:18:33.000 Yep.

01:18:34.000 Yeah.

01:18:34.000 Why would the corporate press all of a sudden be like, nah, he's wrong?

01:18:37.000 Because it's partisan now because it's RFK.

01:18:40.000 Yep.

01:18:41.000 Yeah.

01:18:42.000 Because people are cognitively developmentally disabled. 0.67

01:18:47.000 Besides, the real RFK story has been all the sugar being banned from snap benefits and everybody freaking see the video today of the lady like at the counter. 0.99

01:18:55.000 Yeah.

01:18:55.000 What happened?

01:18:56.000 She was just at the counter trying to buy her like junk food and the lady at those counters like it's not scanning with your snap. 1.00

01:19:00.000 Felt bad for the poor lady. 1.00

01:19:02.000 He's not an accidental that way.

01:19:03.000 Yeah, it's all over Twitter.

01:19:04.000 Poor lady working the counters like, look, what do you want me to do about it? 1.00

01:19:07.000 Like the system literally won't let me sell it to you.

01:19:10.000 Oh, they always love to blame the people that cashier.

01:19:12.000 I worked at a grocery store once.

01:19:14.000 They would always act like you're the one blocking all their grocery items.

01:19:18.000 It's like, oh, like it's not my decision.

01:19:20.000 It's like, I personally reject your coupon.

01:19:23.000 Like, you don't need any more Oreos, buddy.

01:19:23.000 Yeah.

01:19:26.000 How do I find those?

01:19:27.000 You posted it?

01:19:28.000 They always act like the cash.

01:19:29.000 I was searching.

01:19:31.000 I was searching.

01:19:32.000 Cashier isn't responsible for this.

01:19:33.000 I was searching X for the video, but all I was getting was porn.

01:19:38.000 It's not a joke.

01:19:39.000 And so Serge had to post the videos.

01:19:41.000 He's like, no, here's the video.

01:19:41.000 I was like, oh, okay.

01:19:42.000 Here we go.

01:19:43.000 Thanks, Serge.

01:19:44.000 They really own it.

01:19:45.000 They're saying no EBT.

01:19:47.000 No, they own it.

01:19:48.000 They own it.

01:19:50.000 They own it.

01:19:51.000 That's awesome.

01:19:52.000 I can only buy steak chicken.

01:19:55.000 Vegetables, no snacks, no menu.

01:19:57.000 I'm not sure.

01:19:57.000 I can't do it.

01:20:00.000 Man, they really did, Asia, y'all.

01:20:01.000 They did.

01:20:03.000 Good.

01:20:03.000 They really own it.

01:20:04.000 This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

01:20:06.000 They're on it.

01:20:07.000 I don't understand why my text dollars are being taken away to give some dude to buy Doritos and ding dungs.

01:20:12.000 It's crazy.

01:20:14.000 I don't even eat those things.

01:20:15.000 I mean, these companies are only existing because poor people get my money for free and then buy ho-hos and ding-dongs.

01:20:21.000 They lobby heavily.

01:20:23.000 The great story is going to be incredible, though, when somebody's like accidentally gets in shape because this happened.

01:20:30.000 Like he starts out and he ends up becoming a fitness influencer and getting millions of dollars.

01:20:34.000 They're going to be hired to work at ICE.

01:20:36.000 Yeah.

01:20:37.000 Finally, you know, he wasn't able to go to college.

01:20:40.000 He was poor and he was eating Doritos.

01:20:42.000 Now, thanks to RFK, he's getting healthy.

01:20:45.000 He's working out.

01:20:46.000 The seed oils left my body.

01:20:48.000 And he's now signing up to ICE to help protect the country.

01:20:51.000 I think that's going to be the Goodwill story of it.

01:20:53.000 That is a beautiful.

01:20:54.000 I found another video.

01:20:56.000 I don't know what it's about, though, but I'm going to play it anyway.

01:20:59.000 This is a birthday.

01:21:00.000 And yes, we are saying I'm going to shop in hall.

01:21:02.000 So y'all come along with us and let's get some stuff out of the sound.

01:21:05.000 Trump saying no.

01:21:06.000 I'm really just going to be a very short video.

01:21:08.000 Just a little treat say, boom, bam.

01:21:11.000 You feel me?

01:21:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:13.000 Let's get out.

01:21:13.000 We got some Animal Crackers for $8.98.

01:21:17.000 So we're just going to grab one of these.

01:21:18.000 Yeah.

01:21:19.000 My keys like Newton Hambond, so we pay for a box of 30 seeds for $9.98.

01:21:25.000 We're going to grab it.

01:21:27.000 So yeah, we are shopping.

01:21:30.000 So we got some.

01:21:33.000 I would not eat any of that.

01:21:34.000 A little bit, some hot tooths.

01:21:36.000 Dude, she has to pop. 1.00

01:21:38.000 The blow pops are just a step too far.

01:21:41.000 I don't know, but that buttery garlic spice sounds pretty flaming.

01:21:45.000 Do blow pops even have any calories?

01:21:47.000 I don't even know.

01:21:48.000 Of course.

01:21:50.000 Does she like try to buy it and they won't let her?

01:21:51.000 Or what happens?

01:21:53.000 She walks up right before they finish it.

01:21:55.000 This is like yesterday when this came out, and she stocked up trying to get a bunch of the stuff before they said they can't do anymore.

01:21:59.000 Good for her paying attention to the news and getting one less shopping. 0.98

01:22:04.000 I just want to say this as like you look at this morbidly obese woman by industrial-sized Nutragrain bar boxes and blow pop boxes. 1.00

01:22:13.000 I want you just to imagine what it must be like being like some goat farmer in Afghanistan and you see this video on your $20 recycled phone and you're just staring at this morbid obese, morbidly obese American like, I'm going to buy all of this food that's going to kill me. 0.62

01:22:26.000 And you're sitting there and you look down and then the Taliban guy walks up and he's like, dude, death to America. 0.97

01:22:30.000 And you're like, yeah.

01:22:32.000 Pretty much.

01:22:33.000 And then that goat farmer tries to get to America. 1.00

01:22:35.000 They're like, I want to go to that stance.

01:22:37.000 I want the blow pops.

01:22:39.000 We need to be replicating the diets of the Taliban. 1.00

01:22:41.000 I think that's the key.

01:22:42.000 Because like, it was pretty impressive what they pulled off.

01:22:46.000 It's like the videos when they come here from a communist country and they're like, holy crap, there's stuff in the grocery stores. 0.82

01:22:46.000 a lot of hummus. 0.82

01:22:52.000 They don't understand that a lot of people aren't even paying for that.

01:22:55.000 They're like, oh, yeah, you don't have your own money to pay for it.

01:22:57.000 Yo, let's be real.

01:22:58.000 It's fascinating that when USAID goes belly up, Colbert's gone, Howard Stern is gone, and now they're cutting EBT.

01:23:06.000 All of these junk food companies are gone.

01:23:09.000 Like, how much do you want to bet? 1.00

01:23:10.000 Most of this garbage food. 0.92

01:23:12.000 Let me, I'm going to tell you guys a secret. 0.93

01:23:13.000 I'm going to tell you guys.

01:23:14.000 I went to a very fancy restaurant this weekend with the wife.

01:23:17.000 It was $180 a person.

01:23:19.000 Yeah.

01:23:20.000 And it's one of these fancy places where this is the craziest thing.

01:23:24.000 It's like an executive chef restaurant.

01:23:27.000 And beforehand, they're like, do you have any dietary restrictions?

01:23:31.000 And my wife's like, I can't have dairy. 1.00

01:23:32.000 And I'm like, I don't do bread.

01:23:33.000 And they were like, okay.

01:23:34.000 And they made everything for us on the spot.

01:23:37.000 And it was funny because it's a nine-course meal.

01:23:42.000 The first course was watermelon mint shooter of some sort.

01:23:48.000 It's Potomac Restaurant Farm Restaurant.

01:23:48.000 It was amazing.

01:23:51.000 I recommend it.

01:23:52.000 They're amazing.

01:23:53.000 And the second course was literally like three or four bites.

01:23:57.000 It was like a little rice chip with some with a teeny bit of tuna, a tiny piece of eggplant.

01:24:03.000 What else was there?

01:24:04.000 A rolled-up piece of squash.

01:24:06.000 And there was something else.

01:24:08.000 I can't remember.

01:24:08.000 All I know was looking at it.

01:24:10.000 I was like, this is the tiniest food I've ever eaten.

01:24:12.000 And I was full.

01:24:14.000 I was so full.

01:24:15.000 I was sick.

01:24:16.000 Yo, it's crazy.

01:24:17.000 Like the main course is probably like two ounces of pork.

01:24:21.000 And then I was looking at this food and I'm like, it takes two hours.

01:24:24.000 They make it on the spot.

01:24:25.000 It's fresh from the farm.

01:24:27.000 The point is this.

01:24:28.000 I'm sitting there and I said to my wife, I was like, I am so insanely full.

01:24:32.000 And they've given us just the tiniest amount of food imaginable, but it was over a long period of time.

01:24:37.000 And it was very little carbs.

01:24:39.000 It was a lot of vegetables, proteins, and some carbs from fresh vegetables and fruits.

01:24:46.000 Like they did one thing where it was peaches and like a hybrid apricot peach thing.

01:24:50.000 And it was like olive oil and basil.

01:24:52.000 It was amazing.

01:24:53.000 And then I was thinking about like videos like this where the lady is like, I'm going to get an industrial box of Nutragrain bars and eat it all today. 1.00

01:25:00.000 And I was like, poor people are eating like 15 pancakes and rich people are eating tiny pieces of meat over two hours.

01:25:07.000 So they're thin and they're full.

01:25:09.000 And poor people aren't getting the nutrition because they're gargling boxes of Cheerios. 1.00

01:25:13.000 So their body's like, I didn't get enough protein.

01:25:15.000 Eat more.

01:25:15.000 And they're like, just keep eating because I'm not full.

01:25:17.000 Meanwhile, I ate like three apple wedges this big.

01:25:20.000 And I was like, so full.

01:25:23.000 Real food.

01:25:24.000 I'm going to use EBT at that restaurant.

01:25:27.000 After you sign up for ice, hopefully they'll issue an EBT card for an experiment.

01:25:34.000 20 to 25% of Coke sales are tied to EBT and Snap.

01:25:38.000 Wow.

01:25:39.000 Yo.

01:25:41.000 It's short to stock.

01:25:44.000 Oh, wait, is this the video?

01:25:47.000 I think I found it.

01:25:48.000 Let's go.

01:25:49.000 Here we go.

01:25:54.000 So just those two.

01:25:58.000 That's an aggressive move.

01:26:00.000 They didn't say this movie.

01:26:02.000 Trump ain't playing.

01:26:03.000 Yeah, I was going to say, I love the captioning on all these.

01:26:05.000 This is so funny, dude.

01:26:06.000 We're not playing any more skins.

01:26:10.000 Oh, my God.

01:26:11.000 That's crazy.

01:26:13.000 Not even the juice.

01:26:16.000 Yeah, juice is not.

01:26:21.000 You know, they're not talking about orange juice.

01:26:22.000 They're talking about cooling.

01:26:23.000 yeah of course They got 67.

01:26:36.000 Yeah.

01:26:36.000 How should she get backwards?

01:26:38.000 So what's the rest of my jackets?

01:26:44.000 Oh, man.

01:26:45.000 That's the thing.

01:26:45.000 Even the Reese is magical.

01:26:47.000 This is magical.

01:26:48.000 Surely magical.

01:26:49.000 Not the Reese.

01:26:51.000 That's the vote, like the juice.

01:26:52.000 That settles it.

01:26:54.000 It's Reese's, not Reese's.

01:26:56.000 Cool stuff is boring.

01:26:56.000 It's settled.

01:26:57.000 It's boring right now.

01:26:58.000 They don't even take it.

01:26:59.000 It was like Reese's health.

01:27:01.000 I will vote for Trump 10 times.

01:27:04.000 Reese's protein.

01:27:06.000 Plus, peanuts in it.

01:27:07.000 It's healthy.

01:27:08.000 Just for this.

01:27:09.000 Just for banning the sugary garbage from people's benefits.

01:27:13.000 I would vote for Trump, Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Laura Trump, Ivanka, Ivana, all of them.

01:27:20.000 I know Ivana, rest in peace, but all of them, every single one.

01:27:23.000 Just for this.

01:27:25.000 I wonder what this is, how much this is going to affect the resale value of Snap benefits because you know they were selling.

01:27:31.000 They wouldn't have been selling.

01:27:32.000 If you still question that, it's going to go down.

01:27:35.000 I'd appreciate it better than that.

01:27:36.000 But back in Seattle, people would do that outside the stores.

01:27:39.000 They'd be like, hey, what are you getting in there?

01:27:40.000 And then someone would be like, I'm just going to get some chips.

01:27:42.000 And they'd be like, let me buy them for you.

01:27:43.000 Just give me the money.

01:27:44.000 They would do a one-for-one.

01:27:45.000 People would be like, yeah, okay, whatever.

01:27:46.000 And they'd be like, how much is the best?

01:27:47.000 It's $1.50.

01:27:48.000 It's $1.50.

01:27:48.000 I'll buy them for you.

01:27:49.000 That's what they do.

01:27:50.000 And then they take that money from the benefits and they go buy drugs.

01:27:53.000 Here's the crazy thing.

01:27:54.000 You know, I like Seattle.

01:27:55.000 When I first moved there, I was broke.

01:27:57.000 And I had a handful of change.

01:27:59.000 I think I had like $2.50 in just pennies, nickels, and dimes.

01:28:02.000 And I walked into a gas station and I grabbed a sandwich.

01:28:06.000 It was like $1.49.

01:28:07.000 And then I was like, let me, I'm sorry, dude.

01:28:07.000 And I put on the counter.

01:28:09.000 I apologize for all the coins.

01:28:10.000 And he goes, bro, you have all the sandwiches.

01:28:10.000 That's all I got.

01:28:13.000 And I was like, what?

01:28:14.000 And he was like, it's 11.

01:28:16.000 We're going to throw them out.

01:28:17.000 Just take them.

01:28:18.000 And I was like, let's go.

01:28:19.000 He put them all in a bag.

01:28:20.000 And I was like, Seattle.

01:28:23.000 You know, it's just too bad that a bunch of lefty whack-aloons took over because that was all right. 1.00

01:28:27.000 Yeah, when you watch Frasier, Seattle looks like the peak of human civilization.

01:28:32.000 And you go there now and it's just like Mad Max.

01:28:34.000 It's really sad.

01:28:35.000 It's so decadent, bad.

01:28:36.000 Monorail.

01:28:37.000 They have a functional monorail.

01:28:39.000 Oh, it did.

01:28:40.000 I don't know.

01:28:40.000 The space needle.

01:28:42.000 So apparently it's like really hard to get into now, I guess.

01:28:44.000 Those were the days, man.

01:28:44.000 Really?

01:28:45.000 You go up there and you say, I'd like to go to this restaurant.

01:28:48.000 It is kind of creepy what's happening too with population size.

01:28:51.000 I think, you know, I know I bring it up a lot, but I feel like people just really aren't paying attention to the social order collapse that is happening around us.

01:28:59.000 Just in terms of there's not enough people to sustain the system.

01:29:03.000 Nobody had babies.

01:29:05.000 Economic collapse was this beginning of the end.

01:29:08.000 Yeah.

01:29:09.000 Yeah, there's this, there's this YouTuber Gerbert Johnson.

01:29:11.000 He's like 18 or something.

01:29:12.000 And he makes these videos talking about how like there's no other young people around.

01:29:17.000 And he makes video after video and he's like being very frank.

01:29:20.000 And he's just like bringing on these other guys to talk about.

01:29:22.000 And it's like, everyone is noticing that's young, that there's not many young people around in some of these public spaces.

01:29:28.000 And oh, yeah, it's rapidly declining.

01:29:30.000 We're only like 4.5% of the population is young men anymore.

01:29:34.000 It's like, that's how I feel.

01:29:35.000 And like, yeah, you watch his videos, like, shows the graphs and stuff.

01:29:38.000 I'm like, okay, so I'm not crazy.

01:29:40.000 Like, it's actually this bad.

01:29:41.000 Yeah, it's actually that bad.

01:29:43.000 Yeah.

01:29:43.000 I mean, Tim talks about it all the time.

01:29:46.000 There's like, what, 30% fewer Gen Z than there is of millennials.

01:29:52.000 It's making it harder to find spouses. 1.00

01:29:54.000 I mean, I've said it before, but where the hose at is a very salient question.

01:29:57.000 I don't know where they are.

01:30:00.000 And they complain about good men scarcity.

01:30:02.000 Where are the good men?

01:30:03.000 They can't find them.

01:30:04.000 They're stuck playing video games, apparently.

01:30:07.000 But no, the one positive fact is that the national crime level, they believe is due to fewer young men.

01:30:15.000 Now, obviously, that's not an effect in places like D.C., Baltimore, Memphis, Jackson.

01:30:22.000 But nationally, we have fewer young men to commit crime.

01:30:25.000 It's not going to be 55-year-old guys committing most of the crime.

01:30:29.000 Yeah.

01:30:30.000 I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be interesting because I don't think the cities are going to shrink at all.

01:30:30.000 Yeah.

01:30:34.000 Like, we don't see any indication that cities are going to shrink.

01:30:36.000 It's just going to be the countryside and the smaller towns are going to be completely gone.

01:30:39.000 And the dynamic is going to be really rough for people that are still out in the countryside.

01:30:44.000 I mean, it's going to be like third world level conditions within like 30, 40 years.

01:30:48.000 Yeah.

01:30:51.000 The fact that there aren't people to replace the people that are dying is going to, it's going to make a big impact on not just finding a spouse or whatever, but like you're going to have a loss of ability to do things.

01:31:04.000 Like the ability to maintain the infrastructure is actually in question.

01:31:10.000 It's not just a matter of, oh, there's not going to be enough people to pay for Social Security.

01:31:14.000 It's there's not going to be enough people to maintain the internet, to maintain the power lines.

01:31:21.000 Look at Detroit.

01:31:22.000 Was that?

01:31:22.000 Look at Detroit.

01:31:23.000 Right.

01:31:24.000 Yeah.

01:31:24.000 This is what's going to happen to every major city.

01:31:26.000 Detroit is what happens when you have population decline.

01:31:30.000 And that is happening now.

01:31:31.000 Democrats are like, I have an idea.

01:31:33.000 Let's tell everybody.

01:31:35.000 Tell everybody to get abortions, don't have kids, and then we'll open up the borders. 1.00

01:31:40.000 Yeah, so I think the problem we face right now is Trump may be trying to reverse all of this, but Democrats, whether it was intentional or otherwise, and a lot of people say it was, kick this off, and there is no remedy.

01:31:53.000 Certainly Trump can say we're going to deport all these people, but you cannot create 18-year-olds tonight. 0.96

01:31:58.000 Yeah.

01:32:00.000 So he's cooked.

01:32:01.000 It's going to get weird.

01:32:02.000 It's going to get weird.

01:32:03.000 I think there's some things that people are downplaying.

01:32:06.000 Like college is going to be really an essential matriculation for young people because it's going to be the last time in your adult life you're going to be surrounded by people your own age.

01:32:14.000 So you're seeing a lot of people right now that are skipping college that are Zoomers are like really struggling to meet friends and find spouses and these sorts of things. 0.99

01:32:22.000 There won't be college.

01:32:23.000 Colleges are already starting to shut down because there's no 18 year olds to enroll.

01:32:27.000 So they're not making any money anymore.

01:32:27.000 Right.

01:32:28.000 There's still these massive state universities and these sorts of things.

01:32:31.000 And what is Trump doing?

01:32:33.000 He's cutting their funding.

01:32:35.000 So you combine the fact that Trump is going after their funding and the fact that there's no 18 year olds to actually sign up and they're going to start shutting down.

01:32:44.000 Well, I'm saying they're definitely shuttering schools.

01:32:46.000 I mean, they're shuttering elementary schools and everything.

01:32:48.000 I'm actually really excited for this because, you know, I've been to Columbia in New York and I've seen the campus and everything.

01:32:55.000 It's going to be really cool when young teenagers are there in like 10 years and they're going to be like, we don't go to the east wing of the campus anymore.

01:33:01.000 It's abandoned.

01:33:03.000 Some say there are gangs.

01:33:04.000 I heard there's ghosts and it's going to be just like this really creepy rundown place and there's going to be like old man Franks, the old professor of communist theology or whatever they call it because they're religious and it's going to be like lurking in the hallways.

01:33:17.000 Some say the old communist professors are still lurking in the hallways and if they catch you, they'll turn you Marxist.

01:33:23.000 Well, that's the thing that's going to suck is the cities like New York and LA are not going to shrink.

01:33:28.000 Like those cities are going to be huge forever.

01:33:31.000 And those schools are probably going to be the ones that are going.

01:33:33.000 The most left-wing that's where all the jobs are going to be. 1.00

01:33:37.000 I mean, that's the trend so far.

01:33:39.000 Like they've got people.

01:33:41.000 There are people who live in rural areas, bro, and they always will, and they're not going to abandon it.

01:33:44.000 The issue for cities is that it's city people not having kids.

01:33:48.000 So they're growing.

01:33:49.000 It's immigration that's growing them, not human birth. 1.00

01:33:52.000 Well, they recruit from the suburbs.

01:33:53.000 Those kids, the generation before, have the kids out in the suburbs or rural.

01:33:58.000 And then the kids want to move to the cool cities, which is just a handful of cities.

01:34:01.000 I'm pretty sure we covered this numerous times that population growth in the U.S. is driven by immigration, not by births.

01:34:07.000 Yeah, Native Americans are declining as a share of the population, like in raw numbers.

01:34:12.000 Well, I mean, since Columbus arrived.

01:34:14.000 Well, like actual Native Americans. 0.97

01:34:16.000 The other type of native men.

01:34:17.000 Yeah.

01:34:17.000 Like me.

01:34:18.000 But no, but yeah, I mean, it's like, okay, yes, the population is declining, but it's like these people, the jobs just aren't there anymore in the smaller towns, especially.

01:34:26.000 I mean, like the Rust Belt exhibit A. And those people didn't just vanish.

01:34:30.000 They moved to like major cities.

01:34:32.000 Cities, cities.

01:34:32.000 Surbs of major cities.

01:34:33.000 The cost of living in cities is too great.

01:34:36.000 They'll go for it.

01:34:37.000 That's where the jobs are.

01:34:38.000 That's what the social life is.

01:34:40.000 Jobs aren't going.

01:34:41.000 Listen, whenever a population in nature reaches its equilibrium, everybody is starving and suffering.

01:34:48.000 When there's just enough food to survive, you are sickly and starving.

01:34:51.000 We have this with the deer.

01:34:52.000 Every year, there's warnings that go out like, if people don't hunt the deer, the deer eat all available leaves and garbage, and then there's too many of them, and they're all sickly and like covered in lesions.

01:35:03.000 It's disgusting.

01:35:04.000 That's what's going to happen to these cities as population declines.

01:35:07.000 Sure, people in the suburbs are going to try and look for jobs, but literally everybody will.

01:35:11.000 So you'll have big cities full of disease and scum, which will cause an inverse effect of people leaving the cities.

01:35:16.000 So it's an ebb and a flow. 0.81

01:35:18.000 This is how it goes.

01:35:20.000 Look, tell me why Detroit's not growing.

01:35:22.000 Detroit is actually Detroit.

01:35:22.000 It's a city.

01:35:24.000 Detroit is actually very different now than it was 10 years ago.

01:35:27.000 It is.

01:35:27.000 It's like it looks completely different now than it did 10 years ago.

01:35:30.000 Yeah, but you're talking about like in-city gardens on rooftops with a bunch of hippies who pay $100 a month to live in a studio apartment.

01:35:35.000 Like the population stopped shrinking.

01:35:36.000 The thing is, the way that Western liberal democracies are designed is the cities are too big to fail and they can't collapse.

01:35:42.000 The only way to collapse a city is like South Africa. 0.99

01:35:45.000 I mean, there are cities in rapid decline.

01:35:48.000 I mean, there are off-market cities that no one wants to move to, like Baltimore.

01:35:51.000 But the big cities.

01:35:52.000 It's been that way for a long time, though.

01:35:54.000 LA, D.C., even San Francisco has reversed some of the exodus that it had.

01:35:59.000 Seattle, as we were talking about, all these cities are still going to have people go there.

01:36:03.000 And even with less people having kids, there is still that dream for people in the small towns to move to the big city.

01:36:09.000 And that's just like baked into the culture here in America.

01:36:11.000 And there's been a massive brain drain from the small towns because they feel like there's not any jobs for them there.

01:36:17.000 And they feel the only jobs they have are in these major urban areas.

01:36:21.000 And there's fewer people their age there.

01:36:22.000 I mean, there's, you know, middle America is definitely aging.

01:36:26.000 There's not as many people there for them to socialize with and marry.

01:36:30.000 And so the places you want to socialize with people your age and find, you know, a spouse, you have to go to the city.

01:36:35.000 New York, or yeah, New York has like its own propaganda arm where the guy goes around and he's like, show me your apartment.

01:36:41.000 It's like 600.

01:36:42.000 It's like, it's like the size of a lot.

01:36:43.000 Yeah, it's a closet.

01:36:44.000 It's like I paid $900 to live in something that's as wide as my shoulders.

01:36:48.000 I paid $1,600 for a 10 by 6 room.

01:36:51.000 Yeah.

01:36:51.000 Good grief.

01:36:52.000 Yeah.

01:36:53.000 But you do it.

01:36:54.000 It's like people do it.

01:36:55.000 Millions of young Americans do it. 1.00

01:36:57.000 You can call them stupid. 1.00

01:36:57.000 And you can laugh. 1.00

01:36:58.000 It's like, that's the way the market is.

01:36:59.000 And people are willing to pay that price.

01:37:02.000 It is what it is.

01:37:02.000 And it's not all liberals either.

01:37:04.000 You meet a lot of conservatives in places like D.C. and New York that are young.

01:37:07.000 It's a big emerging, big emerging scene, I guess you would say.

01:37:11.000 The state of Michigan over the past 10 years has gained 200,000 new residents.

01:37:16.000 I'm saying the city doesn't look like it looked 10 years ago.

01:37:19.000 It's no longer worn, you know, it's no longer beat up in the same way.

01:37:23.000 And even without food, you can look at like the UK.

01:37:25.000 I mean, London continues to grow.

01:37:27.000 Every young person in the UK continues to move to London for work, and they are a net importer of food, like one of the largest net importers of food in the world.

01:37:34.000 Oh, whoa.

01:37:36.000 I mean, UK is we only have one city, basically.

01:37:38.000 So Detroit just reversed this trend from 2015 until 2022.

01:37:45.000 The city was declining by large numbers.

01:37:47.000 2020 was the biggest minus 32,000, but obviously COVID.

01:37:51.000 And in 2023, it turned around with an increase of 1,852.

01:37:54.000 And as of 2024, it gained an additional 12,487.

01:37:59.000 2025 has not released numbers yet.

01:38:01.000 Like, I was going based off silly, like, I had been there several times, like skating when I was younger.

01:38:06.000 And it was just like, that was actually awesome for skating because it was so run down.

01:38:11.000 There was abandoned buildings everywhere.

01:38:12.000 There was awesome stuff to skate.

01:38:15.000 And now a lot of that stuff has been gentrified.

01:38:17.000 And like my, like, I had friends out there who were buying houses back then with like one job and they were then like flipping these houses and becoming rent.

01:38:25.000 You know, they were renting out places to people because they got the property for next to nothing.

01:38:28.000 And now a lot of those houses have been bought up and it's gentrified in a lot of ways.

01:38:32.000 And the city is beautiful downtown.

01:38:34.000 That's that's even like where I'm from, Memphis, that's happening now.

01:38:37.000 It's like the downtown, the riverfront is gentrifying.

01:38:40.000 I'd also like to add to this, however, that timeframe that shows population growth, what does it coincide with?

01:38:48.000 What were the years?

01:38:49.000 2020 was when there was a mass exodus and it slowly reversed to where they're up 13,000.

01:38:55.000 That was the Biden years.

01:38:56.000 We're looking at all this population growth.

01:38:58.000 Yeah, that was mass illegal.

01:38:59.000 It was all those people in the plains in the middle of the night being shipped there over here.

01:39:02.000 Yeah, it probably was.

01:39:03.000 I can't remember if Detroit.

01:39:05.000 If people aren't having kids, where are the people coming from? 0.99

01:39:07.000 Well, people are draining out the countryside.

01:39:10.000 Yeah, because it's borne out by census data.

01:39:13.000 And I don't like that.

01:39:14.000 It's a sad, like my family's from a small town in Illinois, and that city's gone.

01:39:18.000 That town is gone.

01:39:19.000 But where are they?

01:39:20.000 They're all in the suburbs of Chicago or Milwaukee or Memphis.

01:39:23.000 It's not that they're organically growing that population there.

01:39:26.000 It's that other people are leaving from small towns and they're going there.

01:39:30.000 And that place has a huge population decline while the city gains from that.

01:39:35.000 I mean, there is also the migrants that were going there.

01:39:38.000 I don't know if they were shipping them to Detroit.

01:39:41.000 They were picking these random off-market cities to send a bunch of them to.

01:39:46.000 But it was all dependent on public benefits.

01:39:48.000 And they would go where the best public benefits were, which were Chicago, Boston, New York.

01:39:53.000 Fact check false.

01:39:56.000 In the U.S., the landscape has shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic.

01:39:59.000 Between 2020 and 2021, rural areas are actually growing with net domestic migration around 0.47% compared to negative and near-zero rates in prior years.

01:40:09.000 Correspondingly, urban migration rates are dipping.

01:40:12.000 Young adults in particular are moving to small towns and rural areas the highest rate in nearly a century, drawn by affordability, natural amenities, and flexibility of remote work.

01:40:20.000 Yeah, this is since 2020.

01:40:23.000 Yeah, that's post-COVID.

01:40:25.000 So it's like the two years after COVID, everyone.

01:40:27.000 Now they're forcing everyone to go back to the office.

01:40:29.000 We are seeing population growth in places like Detroit for an obvious reason.

01:40:32.000 Joe Biden brought in 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants and started flying them to various cities.

01:40:37.000 But if the argument is that rural areas are shrinking and cities are recruiting from rural areas, at least economic research service and New York Post say that is not correct.

01:40:44.000 People who live in these cities are actually moving to small towns because the property is cheaper.

01:40:49.000 At least that's been the experience I've seen.

01:40:51.000 Like, dude, the crazy thing is out here in the middle of nowhere, we got bungalows for half a million dollars.

01:40:56.000 This is two bedrooms.

01:40:58.000 But if you, if you want to live in New York, it's impossible, literally impossible if you're Gen Z to live in New York unless you're rich. 0.97

01:41:03.000 We'd have to look at the long-term change from like, say, 2000 or 1990 to see the change in how the heartland is.

01:41:12.000 I mean, we've gained population since 1990.

01:41:16.000 And some of that is actually coming.

01:41:18.000 And some of the rural increase is actually coming from the same migrants.

01:41:22.000 Because, I mean, look at like Springfield, Ohio.

01:41:24.000 I mean, that's not quite a small town.

01:41:26.000 Or, well, that is a small town, but that's not quite super small town.

01:41:29.000 But it's all of its population growth was from all these Haitians showing up. 0.93

01:41:33.000 I just got to say, I feel like anybody who's been to a big city as of recent has, if you're choosing to pay attention, you've noticed the buildings where you're like, it's a skyscraper.

01:41:45.000 And you're like, I wonder what they do in there.

01:41:46.000 And then you notice the windows? 0.99

01:41:47.000 Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, empty, empty, empty, naked guy. 1.00

01:41:54.000 I was in Chicago for the fourth, and we stay at Trump, and there's a building right next to it. 1.00

01:42:00.000 And you're like, I wonder what they do in there. 0.99

01:42:01.000 And then it's just like a bunch of garbage.

01:42:02.000 And I always wondered that like in New York under de Blasio, he was talking about basically evacuating these big buildings because of COVID. 0.76

01:42:11.000 People were leaving.

01:42:11.000 He was going to buy them up for pennies on the dollar.

01:42:13.000 I think the issue for a lot of people is you can't see when the buildings are becoming vacant.

01:42:18.000 You don't see who's in that building on the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th floor.

01:42:22.000 It's just a skyscraper.

01:42:23.000 And people are walking around buying food.

01:42:25.000 But this is the data that we've been seeing for some time now that people are leaving the big cities.

01:42:30.000 We did.

01:42:31.000 And that was part of the ongoing trend of people being like, you know why we left?

01:42:35.000 Couldn't afford property.

01:42:36.000 And I was making good money.

01:42:38.000 This is back in like 2018.

01:42:40.000 I was making real good money on YouTube.

01:42:42.000 I was wealthy by New York standard.

01:42:44.000 Well, I would say top 20% New York standards, which is which is a lot of money, probably half a million a year.

01:42:49.000 And I was like, I can't afford a house here.

01:42:51.000 So I was like, what about Jersey?

01:42:52.000 Cannot afford a house in Jersey.

01:42:54.000 It is crazy.

01:42:55.000 And then I was like, South Jersey, I can't.

01:42:57.000 So I bought a house in South Jersey.

01:42:59.000 And then we were there and the laws were draconian during COVID.

01:43:02.000 And we didn't even have as bad as most people.

01:43:04.000 And I was like, we better get out of here.

01:43:06.000 So we went to Western Maryland.

01:43:07.000 And then we were like, that was a mistake.

01:43:09.000 West Virginia.

01:43:10.000 The trend, as far as I can tell, and everything I've been seeing is that people are fleeing cities.

01:43:14.000 So when we see data showing cities are growing, the only explanation, Joe Biden's mass immigration.

01:43:19.000 Certainly immigration numbers are like juicing, juicing it. 1.00

01:43:22.000 But like, I mean, maybe in like post-COVID, there was a bump and like a return out of cities.

01:43:27.000 But if you look at like since the 1970s, 1980s, the industrialization, like it's been a huge emptying out.

01:43:32.000 And this is replicated across the entire West.

01:43:34.000 And the small towns were receiving the same migrant surges as them.

01:43:37.000 And it was sometimes more noticeable, like in Springfield, Charleroi, and all these other various people.

01:43:41.000 When we're tracking young Americans, for which there are very few, they're moving to small towns.

01:43:45.000 At least that's what we see in the data.

01:43:47.000 That's what we've seen.

01:43:47.000 And we've talked about for quite a bit.

01:43:49.000 What I'm saying is there are no young people.

01:43:53.000 That's true.

01:43:54.000 And they predicted this after the market crashed in 07 or with the start of the market crash.

01:43:59.000 And they said there will be a shortage of 18-year-olds in 18 years because no one's having families now.

01:44:04.000 And I didn't realize at that time they were talking about me because I was in my early 20s.

01:44:09.000 And that's when historically I should have been having a family.

01:44:12.000 But I was sleeping on floors and couches.

01:44:14.000 There was no way I was going to have a family.

01:44:15.000 And I was trying to apply for jobs.

01:44:16.000 I couldn't find anything.

01:44:17.000 So me and all my friends, we were couch surfing and doubling up in studio apartments.

01:44:22.000 We didn't have kids then and we were supposed to.

01:44:24.000 And now there's this huge age gap.

01:44:26.000 So what's going to happen to these big cities when all of the 70-year-olds die?

01:44:30.000 They're not retiring.

01:44:31.000 They won't retire.

01:44:32.000 For the love of all this. 0.98

01:44:32.000 Holy crap. 0.98

01:44:33.000 Holy hire. 0.99

01:44:35.000 Retire. 0.97

01:44:36.000 They won't do it, but they are going to die.

01:44:39.000 And then what happens when they do?

01:44:41.000 And there's no 18.

01:44:44.000 We're going to need 25-year-olds in a few years, and there aren't any.

01:44:46.000 So who's going to do these jobs?

01:44:48.000 This is exactly why Musk is betting.

01:44:50.000 And Musk and a lot of people in the tech world are betting on automation, betting on robots.

01:44:55.000 Whether or not it'll be successful, I can't say, but that's the bet they're making.

01:45:00.000 So it's going to be a handful of ultra-wealthy people who own fleets of robots.

01:45:04.000 And you're going to go to New York, and there's going to be robots everywhere doing everything.

01:45:08.000 And you're going to be like, wow, that's a hard R, man.

01:45:10.000 We don't, is it clank up.

01:45:12.000 We're allowed, you're allowed to do that.

01:45:13.000 You know what I mean? 0.91

01:45:14.000 Don't kill me, robots.

01:45:16.000 I wonder if Styx's audience takes offense to that. 0.90

01:45:19.000 I was thinking that's their name.

01:45:21.000 I was thinking that.

01:45:22.000 All right, everybody, we're going to go to your chats.

01:46:30.000 Kat Timp's going to be there, and she's taking the position of, on the question, has feminism destroyed the West?

01:46:35.000 She is saying no.

01:46:37.000 I wonder if Myron's going to say yes.

01:46:37.000 No.

01:46:40.000 Gee, I wonder.

01:46:42.000 All right, we're going to grab your rumble rants and super chats.

01:46:46.000 All right.

01:46:47.000 Micah.Johnson says, Phil, regarding two weeks ago, I feel like if people gain weight while in a deficit, they should stop dieting and start powering the grid.

01:46:57.000 They've broken thermodynamics.

01:46:58.000 Ha, keep up the good work, guys.

01:47:01.000 I think he's talking about calories in versus calories out.

01:47:04.000 The issue is: I really can't stand the overly simplistic, like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

01:47:09.000 It's just calories and calories up.

01:47:09.000 That's true.

01:47:11.000 No, it's not.

01:47:12.000 If you are eating literally nothing but carbohydrates and not protein, you are going to imbalance your system.

01:47:20.000 Your system is not going to be able to output energy and it's going to accumulate.

01:47:23.000 So you will just get fat while being depressed and slovenly and lazy and be like, I don't understand why everything hurts all the time.

01:47:29.000 So this argument where it's like, just calories in, calories up, you'll lose weight.

01:47:35.000 Not correct.

01:47:37.000 It's not correct.

01:47:37.000 It's absolutely correct.

01:47:39.000 If you eat a thousand, if you are out there burning 2,000 calories.

01:47:43.000 How do you burn 2,000 calories if you don't have protein to move your muscles?

01:47:45.000 If you're burning 2,000 calories a day and you're only taking in a thousand calories, you are going to lose weight.

01:47:51.000 You will burn your muscles away, yes, but you will lose weight.

01:47:54.000 So the problem with this is it is one of these technically correct statements that doesn't help anybody actually lose weight.

01:48:02.000 So that's what's the really annoying thing about Neil deGrasse Tyson saying all that matters is calories in, calories out, and you'll lose weight.

01:48:08.000 Do people want to burn off their muscle and be fat with no ability to move their skeleton?

01:48:11.000 No.

01:48:12.000 Do they want to be sickly and diabetic?

01:48:14.000 No.

01:48:14.000 They want to be fit with good muscle mass and feel energized and not be depressed.

01:48:19.000 And that is not calories in calories out.

01:48:21.000 That's what people should go for.

01:48:22.000 That is not what people, that is not what people actually are.

01:48:27.000 They don't cognitively know that that's what they want.

01:48:31.000 When I tell people, when they say, you know, they're like, oh, you know, I want to shape my body so I don't lift muscle.

01:48:37.000 I only do cardio.

01:48:38.000 I don't lift weights because I don't want to look bulky, right?

01:48:41.000 That is, you're not, that is a, that is a misnomer that you're going to get bulky just by lifting weights.

01:48:47.000 You shape your body by lifting weights.

01:48:49.000 If you want to have like a nice butt, you have to lift it.

01:48:51.000 The point is, if there is someone who is obese and you tell them calories in, calories out is all that matters, do you think they will lose weight?

01:49:00.000 If they're obese, they most likely will not just simply lose weight because they have multiple problems.

01:49:05.000 But if you're talking about how to lose weight, the amount, what?

01:49:10.000 What kind of weight?

01:49:12.000 Well, I mean, that's a totally different topic.

01:49:14.000 So here's the issue.

01:49:16.000 Nobody who's saying I want to lose weight means I want to shave off muscle mass.

01:49:22.000 This is the problem I have with people going, you want to lose weight?

01:49:26.000 Calories in, calories out.

01:49:27.000 No, there is a person who's fat.

01:49:29.000 They're eating 700 carbs per day and 13 protein, 13 grams of protein.

01:49:33.000 And they're getting like 50 grams of fat.

01:49:35.000 And they're going like, I'm only eating 2,000 calories a day, but I'm gaining weight like crazy.

01:49:39.000 Okay, well, without protein, your muscles, your body's in starvation mode while storing as much as possible into fat.

01:49:45.000 You need to cut the carbs down, increase the protein and fat.

01:49:47.000 I can eat thousands of calories in meat and fats and not put on weight.

01:49:53.000 If you were to eat 3,000 calories a day in meats and fat and only burn 1,500, you will put on both muscle and fat.

01:50:01.000 Agreed.

01:50:02.000 And if you eat, and if you eat 3,000 calories of carbs with no protein, you're going to gain massive fat.

01:50:06.000 But if you don't, if you don't lift and don't have resistance training, you're not going to put on muscle.

01:50:11.000 You will put on fat because your body can take protein and turn it into fat.

01:50:16.000 So let's go.

01:50:17.000 Here's the point I'm making.

01:50:18.000 If a person who does not exercise is consuming calories in appropriate numbers of carbs, proteins, and fats, they will put on muscle whether they try to or not.

01:50:28.000 Men naturally do, especially young men because of testosterone.

01:50:31.000 It's a fact.

01:50:32.000 And you will produce more testosterone or at least the adequate amount you should have from eating fats.

01:50:37.000 If you do not have fat and you do not have protein and you're eating lots of carbs, men will not produce adequate amounts of muscle or testosterone because they're not getting the proper balance and the carbs will be stored as fat.

01:50:47.000 Calories and calories out is an overly simplistic statement that doesn't actually help anybody.

01:50:53.000 Yeah, I still, I disagree because the average person isn't going to make the kind of the macro decisions that you're talking about, right?

01:51:03.000 If you're an overweight person and the first steps that you have to take are to reduce your calories if you actually want to lose weight.

01:51:11.000 Every single time this conversation comes up, or I should say, you know, not to be hyperbolic, 80% of the time, people tell me like, you know what, man, I was cutting down calories, but I wasn't losing weight and I couldn't figure it out.

01:51:24.000 And I'm like, were you exercising?

01:51:25.000 And they're like, I was trying, man.

01:51:26.000 It was just hard.

01:51:27.000 I wake up feeling sick.

01:51:28.000 And it's like, I had a friend who was morbidly obese when he was a kid and he couldn't figure it out.

01:51:33.000 And I'm like, bro, for breakfast, you had a bowl of frosted flakes.

01:51:36.000 For lunch, you had a bowl of macaroni and cheese.

01:51:38.000 And for dinner, you had a bunch of, you had some sandwiches, you had some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

01:51:43.000 You ate nothing but carbs.

01:51:44.000 Your body can't function without the fat and protein to operate.

01:51:48.000 So you're just getting sick.

01:51:49.000 Proper nutrition versus how to lose weight, right?

01:51:55.000 If you're saying you have to take, you have to have proper nutrition while you're trying to lose weight.

01:51:59.000 Yes, that's true.

01:52:00.000 So you're saying that if there's a morbidly obese person or just a generally obese person, clearly their diet is imbalanced.

01:52:07.000 They're not exercising enough.

01:52:08.000 You would not confer to them the requirement of proper nutrition.

01:52:12.000 I'm telling you that if you're, if you're would you hire, would you hire, would you hire a personal trainer who says, doesn't matter what you eat, just eat carbs, but don't eat too many.

01:52:21.000 No, I wouldn't, I mean, I wouldn't hire a personal trainer in the first place.

01:52:23.000 No, no, no, that's, that's not my question.

01:52:25.000 Would you go to a gym where the guy says, you, you walk in and say, I'm trying to get, I'm trying to lose weight would you hire a guy who says it doesn't matter what you eat just eat a bunch of carbs as long as you eat 1900 calories of carbs if you're doing 2500 if you're burning if your metabolic rate is burning 2500 calories a day and you're going to take in 1900 calories a day and your goal is to just lose weight then you're going to lose weight again that that's that's you're you're adding context that i'm that i'm this is the point specifically avoiding you're ignoring the point that i'm making

01:52:56.000 the average person who wants to lose weight is trying to burn fat It does not help them to say calories in, calories out, have a nice day.

01:53:03.000 It does more than allow than saying, oh, just eat whatever you feel like and don't burn any.

01:53:08.000 Or you can just say, cut the carbs out, eat more protein.

01:53:11.000 You'll feel better.

01:53:12.000 They're going for walks.

01:53:12.000 You don't know that.

01:53:13.000 You don't know that because if they cut the carbs out and eat more protein, that doesn't mean that they're going to be in a caloric deficit.

01:53:18.000 And if they're not in a caloric deficit while getting proper nutrition, they're not going to lose weight.

01:53:23.000 So the average young guy who eats nothing but protein will put on a lot of muscle because testosterone naturally will develop muscle.

01:53:30.000 If he's lifting.

01:53:30.000 You don't have to be lifting.

01:53:32.000 Men naturally will put on muscle.

01:53:33.000 There is, of course, an increase in muscle mass you get from lifting and you should be lifting, but men naturally will put on muscle through testosterone.

01:53:43.000 This happens through development.

01:53:44.000 At a certain point, you go through sarcopenia, your muscle starts breaking down unless you're exercising.

01:53:49.000 But young guys with proper fat will produce testosterone.

01:53:52.000 Body can turn excess protein into fat. 0.67

01:53:54.000 Indeed, it can, but that's through work.

01:53:56.000 If you're eating nothing, yes, it's gluconeogenesis.

01:54:00.000 It is difficult for the body to do.

01:54:02.000 So if you are telling a fat person, you can eat whatever you want, just don't eat that much, they're going to remain sick, confused, and understand why it's so hard for them to go for a run.

01:54:11.000 They're going to say, runs are painful and I get sick and I throw up and I pass out.

01:54:15.000 And you're going to say, you're eating bad food.

01:54:17.000 You're not sleeping right.

01:54:18.000 You're not drinking water.

01:54:19.000 But if they're out of shape, runs are going to be hard and painful anyways.

01:54:22.000 If you're in shape, runs are hard and painful.

01:54:24.000 So, I mean, like, I understand what you're saying, that nutrients is important.

01:54:27.000 But at the end of the day, if you're getting, if you're getting proper nutrients and you're not in a caloric deficit, you won't lose weight.

01:54:34.000 So the point is, obviously, you need a caloric deficit, but telling someone who has excess fat, they can eat anything and they will lose a weight and deficit is wrong.

01:54:47.000 I mean, it is factually wrong.

01:54:49.000 It's not independent.

01:54:50.000 So it's factually wrong.

01:54:52.000 You cannot function to lose the weight if you're malnourished.

01:54:56.000 If you're eating wrong food.

01:54:58.000 course you can't if you're if you're not if you're not properly if you're not getting proper new Like that lady we saw with an industrial box of nutrient.

01:55:09.000 Usually, well, I mean, it's because they're eating bad food, but also because of the sedentary lifestyle.

01:55:13.000 Like if you're eating bad food and sitting around, then you're going to put on a lot of weight.

01:55:16.000 And can you reverse a sedentary lifestyle if you're not getting proper protein and fat?

01:55:21.000 I mean, you can start to, yeah.

01:55:23.000 By just getting up and moving around, yes.

01:55:25.000 Largely, no.

01:55:26.000 Your muscles can operate without protein.

01:55:29.000 Your muscles will not repair properly, but you, and your muscles will still break.

01:55:34.000 Your muscles can still be broken.

01:55:36.000 If they're not eating protein, how do they build muscle to be able to exercise?

01:55:38.000 They're not necessarily going to build muscle if they're just looking to burn fat. 0.99

01:55:42.000 So how do they exercise to burn fat if their muscles don't work?

01:55:45.000 Your muscles don't stop working like that.

01:55:48.000 If you're not eating protein, will you put on muscle mass?

01:55:50.000 If you're not eating protein, you're not going to build muscle mass.

01:55:53.000 No.

01:55:53.000 Okay.

01:55:54.000 So if you have some muscle and you start working out, but you're eating no protein, will your muscles eventually break down till you can't work out?

01:56:00.000 I mean, it's not going to happen overnight and it's not going to be something that takes, you know, that happens quickly.

01:56:05.000 I mean, you're not just going to go ahead and be like, okay, so I started exercising a month ago and I lost all my muscle mass or now I lost all of my ability to move and now I only have body fat and I have bones and body fat.

01:56:17.000 Improve your ability to burn calories if your muscles are breaking down.

01:56:20.000 You do want to build muscle to help your metabolism.

01:56:23.000 So what's the proper recommendation to a person who's overweight?

01:56:26.000 The first thing the first thing that you tell people when they're overweight is to start taking walks, right?

01:56:31.000 Because if they're overweight.

01:56:32.000 But I'm saying, like, we're creating a plan for someone who's serious about losing weight.

01:56:35.000 We don't just say calories and calories out.

01:56:37.000 No, if you're a nutritionist that's making a plan for someone or if you're trying to make a plan, yes.

01:56:43.000 But most people take in too many calories overall, right?

01:56:48.000 No matter what their food, what their food intake is.

01:56:50.000 And there's a difference between calories from carbs and protein and fat.

01:56:53.000 Marginally, yes.

01:56:55.000 Not marginally.

01:56:56.000 Fat is used to produce hormones in your body.

01:56:58.000 Protein is used to produce muscle.

01:57:00.000 Carbohydrates are used by the cells to produce to power the cells with glucose, the mitochondria.

01:57:05.000 So if you're eating nothing but carbs, you're producing excess glucose.

01:57:09.000 If you're nothing but protein, your body will build muscle mass till its natural apex and then start converting through gluconeogenesis into sugars to use to burn for your brain.

01:57:16.000 Well, it'll start converting to sugars, which it will store.

01:57:19.000 Just gluconeogenesis.

01:57:20.000 It also stores fat.

01:57:21.000 But only after you've reached your muscle capacity.

01:57:24.000 I mean, that depends on, that depends on the person.

01:57:27.000 But even still, the fact of the matter is, if you're eating too many calories, even if they're all protein, you will put on.

01:57:34.000 There's a difference.

01:57:35.000 What?

01:57:35.000 But there is a difference.

01:57:37.000 Either way, you have to, if you want to burn calories, or if you want to lose weight, you have to be in a caloric deficit.

01:57:45.000 So that's what the situation.

01:57:47.000 That's not a dispute.

01:57:48.000 The point is telling someone calories in, calories out doesn't help them.

01:57:52.000 Well, okay, so fine.

01:57:53.000 If you think that if the argument that you're making is that it takes more than just calories in, calories out to have someone in a healthy way lose weight, then fine.

01:58:03.000 Okay.

01:58:04.000 That's the problem I have with Neil deGrasse Tyson because then people are like, I had a bowl of frosted flakes, but it was a small bowl and I still feel sick.

01:58:12.000 How is it so easy for you guys to skate?

01:58:16.000 I've dealt with this my whole life.

01:58:17.000 I'm like, bro, you had a bowl of macaroni and cheese for breakfast.

01:58:20.000 I had a steak.

01:58:21.000 I feel like a million bucks.

01:58:23.000 And they're just like, I don't understand.

01:58:24.000 And I'm like, if you want to exercise consistently, you need protein.

01:58:29.000 If you want to regulate your hormones, you need fat.

01:58:31.000 If you're not getting fat and protein, your muscles and your hormones are out of whack and you're putting on weight like crazy.

01:58:36.000 Anyway, that was a fun debate.

01:58:38.000 Let's read the last few super chats.

01:58:40.000 CJ Johnstone says, NCSB 50 is one vote away from getting constitutional care in North Carolina coming up later this month.

01:58:47.000 Let's go.

01:58:49.000 Right on.

01:58:50.000 Jane H. Wilder says, I saw the Charlestown protesters last weekend.

01:58:54.000 They needed to calm down.

01:58:55.000 I thought they were going to throw out a hip. 1.00

01:58:58.000 What were they protesting about last week?

01:59:00.000 Trump.

01:59:01.000 Well, I know that, but like, what specifically?

01:59:04.000 I don't know.

01:59:04.000 Someone protested my cyber drug today.

01:59:07.000 Yeah, you missed it, Date, after you guys left.

01:59:09.000 Oh, wow.

01:59:09.000 We drove, we went to Stuckey's.

01:59:13.000 I don't know when this video is coming up, so I probably should announce this right away, but there's this spot in, I think it's in Inwood, West Virginia.

01:59:19.000 It's Stuckey's at Superior Market, and it's this guy.

01:59:23.000 He just opened this new restaurant.

01:59:25.000 He opened like a year ago, and he's got a wing challenge.

01:59:28.000 It's if you can finish 10 hot wings within 10 minutes and then chill for 10 minutes, you win $150.

01:59:36.000 Tate tried it.

01:59:37.000 He got four and a half wings down.

01:59:38.000 He holds the record.

01:59:40.000 They were like, dude, it's real food.

01:59:42.000 I was like, my concern was he's going to put weird garbage in it to make it seem spicy.

01:59:46.000 We watched him right in front of us.

01:59:47.000 Peppers that he flies in imports, blend it up to make a sauce, toss the wings in them, and the wings are bomb as it is.

01:59:54.000 And Tate's strategy was slam him as fast as possible.

01:59:58.000 And then he couldn't, he couldn't do it.

02:00:00.000 My throat like closed up.

02:00:02.000 I was actually like kind of scared for him.

02:00:04.000 Did you have blue cheese with him or ranch?

02:00:05.000 Oh, you got a raw dog them. 0.94

02:00:07.000 Yeah.

02:00:07.000 Really?

02:00:08.000 Yeah.

02:00:09.000 And you have to finish one.

02:00:10.000 And he was, you were licking the bones clean.

02:00:12.000 I also stuck a drumstick until it's sparkling.

02:00:14.000 Eat the gristle.

02:00:15.000 But I want to see if anybody can actually do it because no one here could.

02:00:17.000 And we're going to put up a video for Boonies, the wing challenge.

02:00:20.000 Brian tried it.

02:00:21.000 He got two weeks wings down.

02:00:22.000 He's like, I'm done.

02:00:23.000 And then Sean. 0.99

02:00:23.000 He was fucking mad, Smack, too. 0.99

02:00:26.000 He looked like he was going to murder somebody as he was eating the wings because he was just like, and I was like, I think he might pull it off. 0.99

02:00:31.000 He's like, I'm done.

02:00:33.000 And then Tate was literally crying.

02:00:34.000 And I was like, yeah, I was on the floor crying, surrounded by my co-workers.

02:00:38.000 So I'm just going to challenging anybody.

02:00:42.000 Go to Stuckey's beat the wing challenge, 150 bucks.

02:00:46.000 I feel like someone out there can do it.

02:00:48.000 And it's like an hour and a half from DC, so it's not super far away for those that live out here.

02:00:53.000 And I want to see, film a video of it.

02:00:56.000 We'll post it.

02:00:57.000 We'll share it.

02:00:58.000 We were talking about doing an event there where we get like 10 people to actually try to beat the wing challenge.

02:01:02.000 And the dude there is super excited.

02:01:04.000 He's like, let's go, man.

02:01:05.000 He makes the sauce himself.

02:01:07.000 I was impressed.

02:01:08.000 He's like, he blended it up.

02:01:10.000 We filmed him doing it.

02:01:10.000 We were like, it's legit.

02:01:11.000 Yeah.

02:01:12.000 And I had just regular barbecue wings because, you know, I'm a sane person.

02:01:16.000 All right, let's go.

02:01:17.000 Mason says there are two camps to the don't say naughty words millennials.

02:01:21.000 One that went to college and were brainwashed, and the second that watched the unhinged degeneracy of that past decade and are saying, Frick that.

02:01:29.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:01:30.000 I see what you're saying on that one.

02:01:32.000 Makes sense.

02:01:34.000 All right, let's grab some more and see what we got going on here.

02:01:36.000 YouTube always give me the business.

02:01:39.000 YouTube frozen again.

02:01:40.000 YouTube likes to freeze.

02:01:43.000 All right, let's go.

02:01:46.000 All right.

02:01:47.000 CEO Fat Girl says, I don't very much care for the basketball Americans. 0.97

02:01:50.000 I don't know what that means.

02:01:52.000 Is that talking about the WNBA?

02:01:53.000 No, I'm confused by that statement.

02:01:56.000 And I don't care to elaborate any further.

02:01:58.000 Moving on.

02:01:58.000 Did you see the next super chat?

02:02:00.000 Here is Greg Duvier says Howard Stern wanted to be respected by the elites and stopped caring about the everyday man.

02:02:08.000 But it's because the everyday man was replaced by illegal immigrants who didn't speak Howard Stern's language. 1.00

02:02:11.000 And he was like, I don't want to be involved in it.

02:02:14.000 Real.

02:02:14.000 Imagine like 71-year-old Howard Stern's like, I'm retiring from radio.

02:02:18.000 And you're like, oh, thank God.

02:02:19.000 And he's like, I'm running for office.

02:02:22.000 Running against Zoron.

02:02:24.000 He's the last hope.

02:02:26.000 I do like that meme where it's like, time to retire, grandma.

02:02:30.000 To Congress.

02:02:30.000 Where are we going?

02:02:31.000 And it's like the old woman in the wheelchair. 0.99

02:02:34.000 All right.

02:02:35.000 Let's see.

02:02:36.000 Kieran the Meatman says, Good Lord, guys, calories and calories out is true, but poor nutrition makes you feel like ish and makes it way harder to cut calories and work out.

02:02:43.000 She just literally the point.

02:02:46.000 When Neil deGrasse Tyson, who's fat and obese, says, All that matters is calories and calories out.

02:02:52.000 I run into these people every day who are fat, and they're like, I don't understand why I can't lose weight.

02:02:56.000 I'm cutting the calories. 0.99

02:02:57.000 And I'm like, because your hormones are imbalanced, because you're not eating protein, and you're just eating less garbage, but you're still eating garbage.

02:03:05.000 Like, you need proper nutrition and balance.

02:03:12.000 We're going to get to the uncensored portion of the show, my friends.

02:04:24.000 Yeah.

02:04:25.000 It's going to be some metamusil.

02:04:28.000 We got him two scoops of ice cream afterwards, though.

02:04:30.000 That was worth it.

02:04:31.000 I faked it long enough to get some ice cream out.

02:04:32.000 Ice cream is pretty awesome.

02:04:34.000 I needed that.

02:04:34.000 No, I'm just kidding.

02:04:35.000 Guys, if you want to follow me, I'm on Instagram and on X at Brett Dasovic.

02:05:11.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:06:42.000 Yo, vaccines, they're gone.

02:06:45.000 I took them all. 1.00

02:06:47.000 So anyway, here's the story because you got to be careful on YouTube because they're fucking lunatics. 0.99

02:06:51.000 But I was talking to my. 0.99

02:06:53.000 Actually, so I woke up with an eye infection the other day.

02:06:58.000 And yeah, because, well, I got sick.

02:07:00.000 And then you rub your eyes and it spreads to your eye.

02:07:03.000 And sometimes it happens.

02:07:04.000 And it's fine now.

02:07:05.000 It's like, you know, but we had a baby.

02:07:07.000 So my wife was like, go to urgent care now. 1.00

02:07:09.000 And I was like, yeah, okay.

02:07:11.000 I'm not going to argue.

02:07:12.000 But I can't work.

02:07:12.000 Whatever.

02:07:13.000 I'm not going to come in.

02:07:15.000 And they told me it's, they told me exactly what I thought I was going to hear.

02:07:18.000 Like, you're sick?

02:07:21.000 You're coughing.

02:07:21.000 And I'm like, yeah, okay.

02:07:23.000 You probably rubbed your eyes while you were coughing or something.

02:07:25.000 It got in your eye.

02:07:26.000 You're probably going to be fine in a day or two.

02:07:28.000 So we'll give you the eye drops anyway.

02:07:29.000 And I was like, I know.

02:07:30.000 It's just because we got a baby and my wife's scared. 0.97

02:07:32.000 And it's, you know, you know.

02:07:33.000 It's worth it.

02:07:34.000 I mean, it's worth the effort.

02:07:35.000 You know, I was fine this morning.

02:07:37.000 My voice is back.

02:07:38.000 I feel good.

02:07:39.000 It can work and all that stuff.

02:07:41.000 And then, but when I was there, I was like, I got a question, Doc, about this RFK stuff that they're the thymerosol and the vaccines.

02:07:46.000 And he was just like, you know, honestly, I'm not entirely sure.

02:07:49.000 And I'm like, but you're the doctor.

02:07:51.000 I was like, with vaccines being changed, like RFK Jr. saying many of them are not safe.

02:07:57.000 Thymerosol is actually bad and it's in flu.

02:07:59.000 I think it's in the flu shots.

02:08:01.000 And he was like, I don't know.

02:08:04.000 He's like, I got to be honest.

02:08:06.000 I was like, the question right now is, do we trust the government of today or yesterday?

02:08:09.000 Because the previous administration says vaccines are fine.

02:08:12.000 Take them all.

02:08:13.000 And now RFK Jr. is HHS and he's saying, no, it's not. 0.98

02:08:16.000 And they're going to argue he's a conspiracy theorist, but that's stupid bullshit because they argued before, but the government said so. 0.97

02:08:21.000 And now the government said so and they're saying no. 1.00

02:08:23.000 So what the fuck? 1.00

02:08:25.000 What do you do? 1.00

02:08:27.000 What do you do?

02:08:28.000 That's the problem that Sarah and I are looking out because we're not sure what vaccines we should be giving to our kid when he's born.

02:08:36.000 We're like, we don't want this one because there's no reason for an infant to get that vaccine.

02:08:42.000 But what about these?

02:08:43.000 And can we stretch the stuff out? 0.98

02:08:45.000 And we have to look at the list of doctors and find out which doctors will actually not give us a ton of crap. 0.98

02:08:51.000 Oh, that's good. 0.99

02:08:51.000 That's nice. 0.99

02:08:52.000 The bolts have fallen off the chair.

02:08:54.000 Yeah.

02:08:55.000 It's time for it.

02:08:55.000 Two of them.

02:08:56.000 Yeah, it's time for a new chair, Tim.

02:08:57.000 This is a new chair.

02:08:58.000 Oh.

02:08:59.000 Isn't that the old?

02:09:00.000 How long was that one in service for?

02:09:01.000 That one broke too.

02:09:02.000 Yeah, but how long was it in service for?

02:09:04.000 I don't know, man.

02:09:04.000 These chairs break like crazy.

02:09:06.000 It's like I do the morning show and the night show, so it's a lot of sick.

02:09:06.000 You know what it is?

02:09:11.000 When they come, it might be from there. 0.96

02:09:11.000 Oh, he has a bullet. 0.96

02:09:15.000 It might be from here. 0.89

02:09:16.000 It was on the table.

02:09:17.000 When they show up, they have to be built or they come built.

02:09:23.000 I think they're partially built.

02:09:25.000 You know what?

02:09:25.000 Partially, yeah.

02:09:27.000 I feel bad for Boston.

02:09:28.000 Like, they don't sponsor us or anything.

02:09:29.000 We just bought the chairs off Amazon, but maybe we need to get a real chair sponsor.

02:09:33.000 When you get them, actually, get blue Loctite and all the screws and stuff, put blue Loctite on it.

02:09:39.000 I feel like Ray.

02:09:40.000 Let's just get bar stools. 1.00

02:09:41.000 Yeah.

02:09:42.000 That would be kind of sick.

02:09:43.000 Although that would be weird.

02:09:43.000 Your back.

02:09:44.000 You'd be like, yeah, varstool.

02:09:46.000 You'd be in so much pain by the end of the show on their computer like this.

02:09:50.000 Yeah.

02:09:51.000 That was awesome.

02:09:53.000 I don't think the old people would come on here or anyone over the age of 40 would appreciate the bar stool setup. 1.00

02:10:00.000 You know, they bring the things old people bring to the bleachers where it has like the cloth back on it that you can set up.

02:10:04.000 They'd be bringing that.

02:10:05.000 Their backs would be destroyed.

02:10:06.000 They're like, yeah.

02:10:08.000 You know, I was thinking we should do.

02:10:09.000 We should, we're talking to this dude about coming and working weekends because we have only like one or two people here on the weekends, but they're not doing media stuff.

02:10:18.000 They're doing like local, they're doing like administrative building stuff.

02:10:22.000 But I think it'd be cool if we did like a members-only live stream.

02:10:26.000 Well, I'll talk to this dude.

02:10:27.000 I don't want to say anything yet because we haven't hired anybody, but it's just like while you're here over the weekend, just go live while you're doing your job.

02:10:33.000 No, but for real, because yeah, yeah, we did that that one day with the video games.

02:10:37.000 Sorry, we did that one day with the video games.

02:10:38.000 That was a hit.

02:10:39.000 But like, we have a dude here who's basically just reading the news.

02:10:41.000 He could just go live and hang out with the Discord members.

02:10:43.000 Yeah.

02:10:43.000 And then just be like, here's what we're looking at.

02:10:45.000 Here's, here's the news that we're doing it.

02:10:47.000 And I feel kind of bad because he'll be here by himself, largely.

02:10:50.000 Just like watching TV. 0.80

02:10:51.000 It looks like schizophrenic.

02:10:55.000 Julian Assange, when he comes in here.

02:10:57.000 When did you play video games with the audience?

02:11:00.000 Right before the fourth, right?

02:11:02.000 Yeah, it was the day before the fourth because we were like, there's no news and no one's paying attention to YouTube.

02:11:06.000 So you were just like, let's just stream it.

02:11:08.000 And then I started playing Tears of the Kingdom for the first time.

02:11:08.000 Let's play Zelda.

02:11:10.000 And the opening tutorial for that is the most miserable experience of any video game I've ever played.

02:11:16.000 But the game is pretty awesome after the fact. 0.99

02:11:18.000 Talk about fucking awful. 0.99

02:11:20.000 Oh. 1.00

02:11:21.000 All video games like suck now. 1.00

02:11:23.000 No, I did the Message Not Found glitch on Zelda because fuck them. 1.00

02:11:30.000 It's awesome, by the way. 0.98

02:11:32.000 So they launched with the Switch 2.

02:11:35.000 You can, in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you can build anything you want out of the parts they give you. 0.99

02:11:41.000 And there are these crazy videos from back when the game first came out of people building fucking crazy shit tanks. 0.95

02:11:48.000 And now they created this thing where you can make a QR code and share the build with other games, which has just unleashed all hell. 0.90

02:11:55.000 So people figured out how to inject code into the game using the QR system.

02:12:00.000 And so what happened was in the prologue of the game, your link, and he's got all this badass gear, and the sword he has cannot be broken.

02:12:09.000 In the game, your weapons break because weapons break.

02:12:12.000 So someone found a way to inject the code to make it so that in the normal gameplay, you have an unbreakable sword and you can attach crazy shit to it, making it super powerful and never lose it.

02:12:22.000 And so that's just like the first thing people have done to inject code. 0.99

02:12:24.000 But I bet they could do tons of other fucked up shit. 0.99

02:12:26.000 I hope that they don't patch it. 0.99

02:12:28.000 The coolest things about games is whenever they let you hack them.

02:12:31.000 Oh, yeah.

02:12:32.000 So Nintendo should be like, oh, you figured out how to inject code into the game. 1.00

02:12:36.000 Don't give a shit. 0.99

02:12:36.000 Have fun. 0.99

02:12:37.000 You avoided your warranty, but by all means, do whatever the fuck you want. 0.99

02:12:40.000 Like in Halo 2, when you, like the whole BXR thing where you could use the BR to you could do a hit and then shoot them one time and it'd be like an instant kill. 0.98

02:12:48.000 That was a glitch.

02:12:49.000 In Halo 2, that was a big deal and everybody loved it.

02:12:52.000 And like nowadays, that's the kind of stuff that they would take out and piss people off.

02:12:56.000 Street Fighter.

02:12:58.000 In Street Fighter 2, when they released the game, they made a mistake.

02:13:02.000 If you entered in moves back to back, they would string together in such a way that your opponent could not react to it.

02:13:10.000 They couldn't block.

02:13:11.000 They were called combos and it was a glitch.

02:13:14.000 You were supposed to be able to do a move, then block, then do a move. 0.99

02:13:17.000 And they were like, oh, shit. 0.98

02:13:18.000 So for instance, Ryu. 0.99

02:13:20.000 I love doing the basic combo of jump attack, fierce kick, right when you land, Hadouken, show where you can.

02:13:27.000 And there's no point at which your opponent can do anything about that attack.

02:13:32.000 It was a glitch.

02:13:34.000 It was a bug.

02:13:35.000 They called it a feature.

02:13:36.000 They said, actual, it's a skill move.

02:13:39.000 And if you can get good at it, you'll be better at the game.

02:13:42.000 If that came out today, they'd patch it out and say, sorry about that.

02:13:45.000 They'd eliminate the most popular function of the game.

02:13:48.000 Especially if it was Nintendo, Nintendo just hates anything, like anything that's even mildly, what's the word?

02:13:54.000 Like, I guess ingenuity.

02:13:56.000 They hate all that stuff.

02:13:57.000 Don't update your Switches and your Zeldas and all that nonsense. 1.00

02:14:00.000 I hate that stuff.

02:14:01.000 Helicopter parenting even ruined video games.

02:14:03.000 I knew.

02:14:04.000 It did, man.

02:14:05.000 Bro, the original World of Warcraft, the most fun thing ever.

02:14:09.000 We call it glitch hopping. 0.97

02:14:11.000 This is fucking 20 years ago. 0.97

02:14:13.000 This guy was four when we were doing this. 0.99

02:14:15.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:14:16.000 That's bad.

02:14:17.000 And so there were various parts of the map that were inaccessible, but you could jump in a way that would glitch your character up higher and higher.

02:14:25.000 And so there were a whole bunch of places you can go.

02:14:27.000 You weren't supposed to go.

02:14:28.000 And they'd threaten you with a ban if they figured out you were going there.

02:14:31.000 But no one I ever knew got banned or suspended for it.

02:14:34.000 Then they were like, we're going to introduce flying the game, which ruined the game. 0.98

02:14:39.000 Flying ruined the fucking game. 0.99

02:14:40.000 They should have never introduced flying. 0.99

02:14:42.000 And then they patched objects over areas where you could glitch hop so you could never do it again. 0.99

02:14:48.000 Fucking killed the game. 0.98

02:14:50.000 Dude, it was crazy. 1.00

02:14:51.000 I'd play that game for hours.

02:14:53.000 It's probably good they did because that game's addictive.

02:14:55.000 And my friends, like, you're on, we would use Team Speak.

02:14:58.000 What did we use?

02:14:59.000 I think we used Team Speak.

02:15:01.000 What was the other one?

02:15:02.000 I don't remember.

02:15:02.000 There was the other one.

02:15:03.000 It wasn't there elsewhere.

02:15:04.000 And my friends, they'd be like, yo, where are you at right now? 0.94

02:15:06.000 I'll be like, bro, I have no fucking idea.

02:15:08.000 And they'd be like, I'm looking at you in the map. 1.00

02:15:10.000 You're like, where the fuck are you, dude? 0.97

02:15:11.000 And I'm like, I just jumped and jumped and jumped until I got into this weird continent. 0.99

02:15:15.000 And it was fun.

02:15:16.000 The area would just be flat with nothing in it.

02:15:18.000 We'd be running around, goofing off.

02:15:20.000 And then they were like, we're going to get rid of that.

02:15:22.000 The best thing was if you're playing Horde and you knew how to get underneath Stormwind, there was a part of the city where you could jump up and then fall through the wall and you'd be underneath the city yelling. 0.99

02:15:32.000 And then all the people in the city would be like, what the fuck? 0.98

02:15:34.000 There's horde in here. 0.99

02:15:35.000 And then Blizzard was like, they're having fun.

02:15:35.000 Oh my God.

02:15:37.000 Get rid of it. 1.00

02:15:38.000 That's dumb. 1.00

02:15:39.000 Yup. 1.00

02:15:40.000 Fuck them. 1.00

02:15:40.000 There's a lot of stuff where, like, if there's a glitch and the fans like it, you should leave it. 1.00

02:15:47.000 Oblivion made its name known for its hilarious glitches with the NPCs and stuff.

02:15:53.000 Oblivion was filled with it.

02:15:55.000 Kind of, you know, early 2000s, mid-2000s, as they're trying to make more advanced games.

02:16:00.000 There's so many glitches, but they made so many memes.

02:16:04.000 And now they're taking it away.

02:16:05.000 It's too clean cut, too cookie cut.

02:16:06.000 Radical left.

02:16:07.000 I just like to stress, you know, for these for these naysayers, back in the OG vanilla Warcraft, I had a tier 2 PvP gear. 0.75

02:16:16.000 It was fucking insane to get.

02:16:18.000 It was just insane. 0.98

02:16:21.000 Originally, to get the Field Marshal gear, you had to actually be one of the top-ranking PvP players in your, what do we call it?

02:16:30.000 It was like a server quadrant or something.

02:16:32.000 Because only some servers played against some servers.

02:16:35.000 Yo, I would play Alteric Valley non-stop.

02:16:37.000 You know, I love, oh man.

02:16:40.000 I bet I could do this today.

02:16:42.000 So I play Rogue.

02:16:44.000 Rogue was the best, but I had a bunch of characters.

02:16:46.000 We called them Toons.

02:16:47.000 And I had a bunch of level 60s.

02:16:48.000 I had like two or three.

02:16:49.000 I had a Priest.

02:16:50.000 I had, what did I have?

02:16:52.000 I think a mage, maybe.

02:16:53.000 I can't remember.

02:16:55.000 Yeah, I think it was a mage and a rogue, but Rogue was my main.

02:16:57.000 And you go to Alteric Valley, and I would always just solo cap towers.

02:17:02.000 It was fucking so much fun to just sneak into the tower with all the dudes standing there.

02:17:07.000 And then I would just back cap the tower, and then they would lose time, and it would contribute to the win. 0.99

02:17:13.000 And it was fun as fuck. 0.94

02:17:14.000 And then I remember I went back to play Legion when it came out, which is now like, what, 10 years ago? 0.97

02:17:19.000 And I was like, I wonder if it's still the same after all these years, you know, 10 years later. 1.00

02:17:23.000 And then sure enough, same fucking shit. 1.00

02:17:27.000 I loved it. 1.00

02:17:28.000 I was like, I'm going to sneak around with my rogue.

02:17:30.000 And I'm going to, and then I unlock Void Elf so I could use it teleport.

02:17:34.000 Void Elf?

02:17:35.000 I never played a lot.

02:17:36.000 I only played like a little bit of WoW.

02:17:38.000 Like, I didn't get very far at all.

02:17:39.000 They made a. 0.84

02:17:40.000 Oh, I fucking loved it, dude. 0.96

02:17:42.000 People were so bad at the fucking game in 2006, they were like, you need to, you need to nerf rogues. 0.99

02:17:47.000 You're too. 0.98

02:17:48.000 Or no, no, no, I'm sorry, nerf warriors. 0.91

02:17:49.000 They were like, rogues, you're too weak. 0.91

02:17:50.000 You can't kill warriors. 0.74

02:17:51.000 And I was like, bro, if you're not bleeding, you're warriors. 1.00

02:17:53.000 You don't know the fuck you're doing. 0.99

02:17:55.000 And so for me, I had no problem in PvP against Warriors with the Rogue. 1.00

02:18:01.000 Yeah, but if you're PvP, the problem was straight DPS from a rogue was doing no damage because there are most.

02:18:06.000 So you had to do bleeds.

02:18:07.000 Stun, bleed, stun, bleed. 1.00

02:18:09.000 And garat, bleed, you know, hemorrhage, all that shit. 1.00

02:18:12.000 And then, but players were too stupid to learn the skills to play the game. 1.00

02:18:15.000 So they complained and they were like, okay, we're going to buff rogues because they're too weak. 0.99

02:18:18.000 And I'm like, I'm already fucking wiping everybody out in PvP. 0.76

02:18:22.000 And then they made me stronger. 0.96

02:18:23.000 But it's okay now. 1.00

02:18:24.000 They've dumbed the game down to the point to where it's stupid as fuck. 1.00

02:18:27.000 Raids used to mean something. 1.00

02:18:29.000 I remember my first raid, and I think it was like AQ. 0.97

02:18:33.000 And it was crazy to have 40 people playing one game.

02:18:36.000 We're like, this is nuts.

02:18:37.000 Now it's like, sign up for the queue and get placed with random people.

02:18:40.000 And it's like, you win in five seconds no matter what.

02:18:42.000 You don't even have to do anything.

02:18:43.000 People get pissed if they don't, like, if it's too much of a challenge, which is bad.

02:18:48.000 You know, it's like, I mean, those same people, if you put them, like, give them like Mega Man 3, they kill themselves.

02:18:56.000 Because that was like one of the hardest videos.

02:18:57.000 Mega Man 1.

02:18:58.000 Mega Man 1 was.

02:19:00.000 How could that be considered a game for children? 1.00

02:19:24.000 No one ever beat that game. 0.99

02:19:26.000 No.

02:19:27.000 What is it?

02:19:27.000 It's a video game.

02:19:29.000 It was on an ancient time period.

02:19:31.000 In the Middle Ages for you.

02:19:33.000 I only played like Minecraft and like 2K.

02:19:35.000 It's kind of sad for Gen Z because you have two games.

02:19:38.000 We have Minecraft and Fortnite.

02:19:40.000 Prime Fortnite, I'm going to tell my kids about.

02:19:42.000 Nah.

02:19:43.000 You know, Fortnite just stole the format.

02:19:43.000 You had to be there.

02:19:46.000 Yeah, from PUBG.

02:19:48.000 PUBG.

02:19:49.000 And they made it better.

02:19:50.000 Well, double pump and public.

02:19:52.000 Wasn't Fortnite supposed to be like a more advanced Minecraft?

02:19:55.000 And then PUBG happened and they were like, let's just rip off Battle Royale.

02:19:58.000 Yeah, they had like a story mode that had no fighting in it.

02:20:01.000 And you build houses.

02:20:02.000 Rocket League's good.

02:20:02.000 Yeah.

02:20:03.000 Me and Callum play Rocket League a lot.

02:20:05.000 He's really good at it.

02:20:05.000 Yeah.

02:20:06.000 It's crazy how we had like hundreds of games and it was crazy, like snake rattle and roll.

02:20:11.000 Remember Skull and Crossbones?

02:20:14.000 Bro, Skull and Crossbones, dude. 0.99

02:20:16.000 That game was fucking weird. 0.98

02:20:18.000 I need to get a PC. 0.99

02:20:20.000 A game. 1.00

02:20:22.000 I'm going to play a video of this fucking game. 1.00

02:20:25.000 Look at this game. 1.00

02:20:27.000 Skull and crossbones. 1.00

02:20:29.000 Look at this shit. 1.00

02:20:31.000 Yes. 1.00

02:20:33.000 What the?

02:20:35.000 However, defeating some of the harder bosses is going to be extremely challenging.

02:20:39.000 This is real culture.

02:20:40.000 You missed out.

02:20:42.000 Look at this.

02:20:42.000 A little pirate guy, and he's throwing knives.

02:20:45.000 Yeah.

02:20:46.000 Oh, no.

02:20:47.000 Through the castle-like area.

02:20:49.000 One eye.

02:20:50.000 Take out every enemy that we come across.

02:20:53.000 Once we've wiped out the 15.

02:20:55.000 Let's start from the beginning.

02:20:58.000 What is this?

02:21:00.000 I remember how weird it was.

02:21:01.000 Like, what are these little symbols even?

02:21:03.000 Drop down on the right side here where that arrow is.

02:21:05.000 The wizard is there and shoves us away, kidnapping the princess.

02:21:09.000 And now we were able to select from one of six levels with the seventh level being the final one that we'll do after we keep six.

02:21:17.000 Look at these guys.

02:21:18.000 You can do them in any order, but usually I just threw them straight in the cross.

02:21:21.000 It's like a four-year castle right now.

02:21:24.000 A little Donkey Kong for you.

02:21:25.000 In each of the memes, you have to defeat 15 enemies, whether this 10 pirate soldier guys remake it or whatever.

02:21:33.000 Or if they're this common pest.

02:21:35.000 What?

02:21:37.000 Envious.

02:21:38.000 This was the peak of American culture right here, dude.

02:21:40.000 That was my NBA. 0.99

02:21:42.000 All those things flying around to kill you. 0.96

02:21:44.000 That was PS2 era.

02:21:45.000 Yeah, I grew up on the PS2.

02:21:46.000 PlayStation era.

02:21:46.000 You just did a flip.

02:21:47.000 I played Tomb Raider.

02:21:49.000 All right, let's go to callers.

02:21:50.000 Let's go to callers.

02:21:51.000 Hey, Crown Doors, what's going on?

02:21:54.000 What's up, Crown Doors?

02:21:55.000 What up?

02:21:56.000 Hey, good evening, everybody.

02:21:57.000 How's it going?

02:21:58.000 Well, how are you?

02:21:58.000 Good evening.

02:22:01.000 So, not too bad.
