Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Target TANKS 15%, Bud & Target Stock CRASH $28 BILLION, BOYCOTT WORKS w-Seth Weathers

00:00:00.000 Target stock is down 15%.

00:00:21.000 Combined, Target and Bud Light have lost around $28 billion in market share.

00:00:28.000 And this really does matter because it seems like the tides are turning in the culture war.

00:00:32.000 There's an article from New York Mag where these leftists are shocked to find that conservatives and the right were actually able to pull off a boycott and actually set a market shift.

00:00:43.000 But now we're seeing more companies.

00:00:45.000 Chick-fil-A hiring a diversity, equity, and inclusion VP.

00:00:49.000 So this stuff is spreading.

00:00:51.000 Plus we got a baseball player from the, I think, the Blue Jays bending the knee and engaging a struggle session because he supported the Target boycott.

00:01:00.000 We gotta talk about this stuff.

00:01:01.000 We've got a lot of news and I think the big story here is that last week CBS, I believe it was, reported that there were bomb threats at various Target locations.

00:01:11.000 Without verifying, they posted a screenshot of an email that was purportedly sent to us at TimCast.com.

00:01:18.000 We never received that email.

00:01:21.000 That's fake news.

00:01:23.000 So I don't know where they got the email.

00:01:25.000 I don't know if it was a spoof or a hoax or what.

00:01:27.000 However...

00:01:28.000 We did receive similar emails, but not the one they posted.

00:01:32.000 So I think it's obviously some kind of spoof.

00:01:35.000 I am mildly perturbed they did not reach out to us and say, hey, did you receive your emails on this?

00:01:41.000 So I'm assuming someone must have sent them a screenshot of a fake email that they then posted saying like, oh, look, it's real or something without checking.

00:01:49.000 And then a bunch of other outlets posted the same thing.

00:01:51.000 TMZ posted the same thing.

00:01:52.000 So we're going to break this down and go over what's really going on.

00:01:54.000 But there were several target locations evacuated.

00:01:58.000 This stuff's getting pretty spicy, and I think when you look at this baseball player apologizing and saying he will be re-educated, you need to understand just how deeply entrenched we are.

00:02:09.000 Go read 1984 or any one of these books.

00:02:11.000 We're at the point of re-education.

00:02:13.000 We've been here for some time, so we need to address it, especially when Chick-fil-A is doing this stuff.

00:02:17.000 There is a lot of other news, too.

00:02:18.000 We were originally going to lead with Tara Reid, Joe Biden's accuser.

00:02:22.000 She claimed that he assaulted her, sexually assaulted her. 0.79

00:02:26.000 She's fled to Russia.

00:02:27.000 Now, The Guardian reports she's defected.

00:02:29.000 That's an interesting story.

00:02:30.000 And then, of course, World War III is in the news today, because this morning, Moscow suffered multiple drone attacks on civilian targets.

00:02:38.000 So, we'll definitely get into all that, but I do think that we should focus on... You know, I was trying to figure out what I thought was the bigger story, but...

00:02:45.000 I think American cultural breakdown.

00:02:47.000 We have the elections coming up.

00:02:49.000 You've got Trump, you've got DeSantis.

00:02:50.000 We should be focusing on our cultural issues in this episode, but we will absolutely get into all the war stuff.

00:04:16.000 Oh, you get the coffee club.

00:04:17.000 Yeah, it smells amazing.

00:04:18.000 It's really good.

00:04:18.000 It's actually very good.

00:04:19.000 And I'm actually just about to crack open this ultra-right conservative dad's beer.

00:04:27.000 100% woke-free American beer.

00:04:28.000 We'll see if he's woke-free after this is over.

00:04:31.000 Oh wow, that's good.

00:04:32.000 I'm impressed.

00:04:33.000 I'm not a big beer guy.

00:04:33.000 That's pretty good.

00:04:35.000 That's nice.

00:04:36.000 So who are you?

00:04:37.000 What do you do?

00:04:37.000 Aside from, you know, I'm drinking your beer.

00:04:40.000 Seth Weathers launched this beer company about a month and a half ago at this point.

00:04:45.000 And at this point in my life, I do nothing but manage a beer company.

00:04:50.000 So it's taken off.

00:04:51.000 We put out a video, an ad that I think probably a lot of your viewers have seen because you put it out there.

00:04:56.000 Yeah.

00:04:56.000 You put it out there the day we launched it.

00:04:58.000 And on my Twitter account alone, I think we have over 46 million views, which is nuts.

00:05:03.000 I don't have some huge Twitter account. Um, and it's just continued to get traction. You know,

00:05:08.000 I think overall online between all the different places that's been placed,

00:05:12.000 we're probably about a hundred million views.

00:05:13.000 Like you don't start a beer company and have that kind of brand ID. It's,

00:05:17.000 it's wild. Yeah, it's actually really, I'm not, I'm not a big beer guy.

00:05:19.000 I like yinling. I like this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a solid beer. You know,

00:05:23.000 it's not, and you know, This came out of the Bud Light controversy, but I do want to let people know, this is not a Bud Light knockoff, because I don't think Bud Light is a real beer.

00:05:33.000 A watered-down beer.

00:05:34.000 By the way, they were actually sued and lost millions of dollars for literally watering down their beer in the past.

00:05:39.000 Oh, wow.

00:05:39.000 So a lot of times what they're telling you, alcohol content and everything else, they've literally been busted for that in the past.

00:05:43.000 How do you water down water?

00:05:45.000 Well, it's actually a horse... Wait, isn't Bud Light seltzer?

00:05:51.000 So this is your main thing right now, right?

00:05:53.000 Yes.

00:05:55.000 We're growing a lot.

00:05:56.000 We're currently brewing in Georgia, and we're also brewing in Florida now, and we'll probably have people in other places around the country contract to brew this beer.

00:06:05.000 And again, the growth has been wild.

00:06:07.000 It's people like your listeners and you guys, literally you, that have helped support this and get it off the ground.

00:06:15.000 And it's something that There's a lot of people that said this would never happen.

00:06:22.000 They said they'll never find someone to brew it, especially not with that very dirty word, conservative, right on the bottle, which was bold and dangerous, but we did it.

00:06:31.000 They said, we'll never get it brewed.

00:06:33.000 We'll never get it bottled.

00:06:35.000 You'll never get a distributorship.

00:06:36.000 You'll never get licensed.

00:06:37.000 You'll never get federal approval.

00:06:39.000 These are all things that we've done in 45 days for one of the highest regulated industries there is in America.

00:06:46.000 And it's wild this even happened in that.

00:06:48.000 A lot of the right doors open.

00:06:50.000 I was telling Ian earlier, it seems like every time a door shut, a better door open.

00:06:53.000 I know that sounds cliche, but that's just kind of how this process has been.

00:06:57.000 And, you know, it's exciting to see.

00:06:59.000 I was excited to see conservatives stick through a boycott.

00:07:03.000 Me too!

00:07:05.000 But let's get into all that stuff.

00:07:06.000 We've got a lot to talk about because I think this is sticking, it's expanding.

00:07:09.000 We're seeing the corporate press start to freak out over it.

00:07:11.000 So, Seth, thanks for joining us.

00:07:13.000 We got Seamus Coghlan drinking a beer over here.

00:07:15.000 Yeah, I mean, it's cold.

00:07:16.000 I like it.

00:07:17.000 It's like a light beer with a little bitter kick to it.

00:07:20.000 It really is good.

00:07:22.000 They didn't pay me to say that.

00:07:23.000 I've enjoyed my first couple sips of this.

00:07:27.000 I'm Seamus Coghlan.

00:07:28.000 I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:07:29.000 We just uploaded a video today that I think you guys are going to enjoy.

00:07:34.000 It's about American public schools in the way that the left usually portrays them and satirizes them as being rah-rah-rah pro-America and then what public schools are actually like.

00:07:44.000 I think you guys are really going to enjoy it.

00:07:46.000 We had a lot of fun.

00:07:47.000 We took an extra couple days on it just to throw more visual gags into it.

00:07:50.000 We were going to upload it last Thursday but we spent extra time with it so it's a really solid piece and I think you'll all enjoy it.

00:07:56.000 Hey, everybody.

00:07:58.000 Welcome back.

00:07:59.000 It's Tuesday.

00:08:00.000 I hope you had a good Memorial Day, man.

00:08:02.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

00:08:03.000 Seth, so would you consider this a light beer?

00:08:04.000 Because I'm drinking it now.

00:08:05.000 It is light.

00:08:06.000 It has kind of a light effervescence to it.

00:08:08.000 Legally, I cannot print on that can that it is a light beer without some kind of federal testing or something we have to go through.

00:08:15.000 But I would say, for me, I would call it a mid-range between light and, I guess, full-bodied, somewhere in there.

00:08:23.000 So, again, it's not like a Budweiser, which, again, I think we were kind of making jokes about, is just a beer-flavored water.

00:08:29.000 So, we're not that.

00:08:30.000 So, it's a real full-flavored beer.

00:08:33.000 You know, I think you're kind of filling a gap because Budweiser, maybe it was an American company at some point, it's been sold to AB InBev, now it's a Belgian company.

00:08:40.000 Their headquarters is in Leuven, Belgium.

00:08:42.000 So, thanks for making an American beer company.

00:08:44.000 100% made in America.

00:08:46.000 Right on.

00:08:46.000 Well, that's Ian for you.

00:08:48.000 He's back.

00:08:49.000 We got Serge here.

00:08:50.000 Back! 0.88

00:08:50.000 And yeah, I'm here, guys. 0.88

00:08:52.000 Hope you had a good Memorial Weekend as well, and thanks for the beer, Seth.

00:08:56.000 Appreciate it.

00:08:56.000 Great job.

00:08:57.000 Can I just mention something here about this beer and a lot of the other products that are being launched by conservatives now?

00:09:01.000 This isn't the case for all of them.

00:09:03.000 There are some that are still outsourcing, but I know even some of those are trying to bring more manufacturing to the U.S.

00:09:10.000 in the long run, and that's kind of the point I want to make, which is one of the advantages of all of these conservative brands blowing up in response to left-wing shenanigans is they're starting more American-based companies.

00:09:23.000 Absolutely.

00:09:24.000 Well, let's jump into this first story, and we'll talk all about it.

00:09:26.000 We got this tweet from Mark J. Perry.

00:09:28.000 He says get woke, go broke!

00:09:30.000 Target shares have dropped by 15.3% in the last 11 days since the boycott started over

00:09:37.000 LGBTQ-friendly kids' clothing, representing an eye-popping loss in its market value of 0.98

00:09:43.000 $11.4 billion.

00:09:45.000 This story from Fox Business.

00:09:47.000 They say Target and Bud Light investors lose billions on marketing misses.

00:09:52.000 Target and Eiser Busch have lost a combined $28 billion in market value.

00:09:57.000 The Target thing stands out the most to me.

00:10:01.000 Because this wasn't... Look, I understand the Dylan Mulvaney thing.

00:10:04.000 Dylan Mulvaney's audience are children.

00:10:07.000 Dylan Mulvaney is effectively just playing a character like Borat or, you know, who was the other character he played?

00:10:14.000 Was that it?

00:10:14.000 Bruno?

00:10:14.000 Yeah, that's one of them.

00:10:17.000 That's basically what Dylan Mulvaney's doing.

00:10:19.000 And when people see that, they're put off by it, they're angered by it, they're insulted by it.

00:10:24.000 They say, hey, we want an apology.

00:10:26.000 Well, it's also an adult male playing the role of a little girl.

00:10:29.000 Yep.

00:10:30.000 Which made it even more, yeah.

00:10:31.000 That's like Bruno.

00:10:32.000 That's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, right.

00:10:34.000 It's, it disturbs people.

00:10:37.000 What I've heard from many people is, uh, and I'm not trying to be overtly derisive, but people said disgust.

00:10:44.000 Yes.

00:10:45.000 And so what, you know, at first I was saying of the Bud Light boycott that people just don't want to be associated with an effeminate beer.

00:10:51.000 Then I had people say to me like, no, they actually, they look at it with disgust because it's associated now.

00:10:56.000 I can understand the boycott there is very strong.

00:10:58.000 The emotions are very strong.

00:10:59.000 The thing with Target is that this is just a company doing their typical Pride Month thing.

00:11:04.000 All of the companies are going to start putting the Pride Month stuff out there.

00:11:07.000 Target now losing billions, $11.4 billion in market value for doing what companies have done for some time.

00:11:16.000 That marks a massive shift.

00:11:18.000 That's why I think this story is so important.

00:11:20.000 Because typically, these companies do this stuff, nobody bats an eye.

00:11:24.000 Conservatives don't do a thing.

00:11:25.000 But now we're experiencing a cascade, an exponential gain in the Bud Light effect.

00:11:33.000 Here's how I described it earlier.

00:11:37.000 Somebody's holding shares, stock, in Target and Bud Light.

00:11:41.000 Let's say they got 100 of each, hypothetical number.

00:11:44.000 And they're told, don't worry, the Bud Light thing will blow over.

00:11:46.000 Boycotts never work. 1.00

00:11:47.000 And they say, OK.

00:11:48.000 And they're sitting on $63 per share.

00:11:51.000 Now it's at $59.

00:11:52.000 And they're going, dude, I just lost like 8% because you told me to wait.

00:11:57.000 So they sell.

00:11:58.000 That triggers the price going down even more.

00:12:01.000 But they're also holding target stock.

00:12:03.000 Let's just say it's at a hypothetical number X. And then the controversy breaks.

00:12:07.000 They go, nuh-uh.

00:12:08.000 I am not going to wait around and lose another 10%.

00:12:10.000 They sell.

00:12:12.000 Now, there is a fear in the market being brewed.

00:12:16.000 Doesn't matter if you actually oppose wokeness.

00:12:18.000 It doesn't matter if you support wokeness. 0.96

00:12:20.000 All that matters is, if a company gets woke, their stock will go down.

00:12:26.000 And that will create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:12:29.000 And I think what happened with the whole Bud Light effect, as you called it, which is a great term, is it gave conservatives confidence because we had zero reason to be confident in any type of boycott.

00:12:38.000 I've said for years, we've got to pick one company.

00:12:40.000 I've said this for probably 10 years.

00:12:42.000 We've got to pick one company that's done something.

00:12:44.000 It's got to be something we can live without.

00:12:45.000 We can certainly live without horse urine.

00:12:48.000 I don't want to get you a mark on YouTube here.

00:12:51.000 We've got to pick one company that we can do without and go all in and cause permanent economic damage.

00:12:57.000 Until we cause permanent economic harm to one of these companies, it'll keep happening.

00:13:01.000 We skip a couple football games, but we're back in the stands three weeks later, three games later. 0.99

00:13:05.000 They don't give a crap. 0.99

00:13:07.000 They know the conservatives will be back. 1.00

00:13:08.000 They cave every time.

00:13:10.000 We'll have a blip for three weeks.

00:13:11.000 This sent the message that, oh wow, these guys are sticking to it, they're angry.

00:13:15.000 And when people see the effect of the Bud Light thing, like you said, it's self-fulfilling.

00:13:19.000 Now they're wanting to recreate it.

00:13:20.000 They're energized and they have a confidence level of, hey, we can actually do this as conservatives.

00:13:25.000 Like, wow, we do have half the buying power.

00:13:27.000 Take a look at this story from New York Mag.

00:13:30.000 Just asking questions is the section.

00:13:33.000 Bud Light Target and a New Era of Corporate Caution by Benjamin Hart.

00:13:36.000 I love this.

00:13:37.000 He says, initially he thought nothing would happen.

00:13:40.000 He says, I assumed it would have little to no effect.

00:13:44.000 Instead, it has delivered a major hit to Bud Light's sales.

00:13:47.000 He then goes on to say, why do you, he says, do you think, okay, let me start over.

00:13:53.000 How unusual is it for a campaign to be working this well and do you think those factors are why it's been so successful?

00:14:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, pat yourselves on the back.

00:14:02.000 I mean, this is significant.

00:14:03.000 This is going on two months now, and it's only getting worse for any of the brands associated with the cult.

00:14:10.000 Yeah, and this is extremely encouraging to see.

00:14:12.000 You mentioned a moment ago the fact that the Bud Light boycotts went very well.

00:14:16.000 Significant damage was caused to a company which was pushing something horrible.

00:14:20.000 I remember when the Target boycotts began, one thing I said was we need to be very careful about ensuring that we stick to the Target boycott because this is going to determine whether the Bud Light boycott was a fluke Or whether conservatives as a market are going to retain this power.

00:14:39.000 Well, yeah.

00:14:40.000 The thing is, if we jump out there too quick and we start trying to boycott everything real quick, none of them will be successful.

00:14:48.000 Agreed.

00:14:48.000 And we will start losing our effectiveness, which is back to what I was saying.

00:14:51.000 We have to cause permanent economic harm to a large company.

00:14:55.000 And Bud Light has so far been that company.

00:14:58.000 And it looks like their brand, man, I've never seen a brand destroyed so quickly and so succinctly ever.

00:15:05.000 They're not going to be able to just come back and all of a sudden, you know, they've put out bottles with camouflage bottles.

00:15:11.000 They just put out a Harley-Davidson Special Edition bottle.

00:15:13.000 Oh my gosh.

00:15:14.000 Like, it's just harming Harley-Davidson.

00:15:16.000 It's not bringing their brand back.

00:15:18.000 And so, again, if we stick to it, I don't know how long a target Boycott will last.

00:15:25.000 It's harder for a lot of people to do without.

00:15:28.000 It's not about the boycott, though.

00:15:30.000 That's the important thing.

00:15:31.000 No, I get what you're saying on the other side of it, but just saying as to what conservatives will actually stick through in holding the feet to the fire economically.

00:15:40.000 I don't think conservatives actually boycott a target.

00:15:43.000 I think regular people got pissed.

00:15:46.000 Yeah.

00:15:46.000 So, I see two things happening.

00:15:48.000 Bud Light was a boycott.

00:15:50.000 It was high-profile individuals.

00:15:52.000 Then, what this guy points out in the New York Mag article is that people boycott, so the media picks it up, so the news spreads, so more people boycott.

00:15:59.000 With Target, I think something was happening before the news even broke.

00:16:04.000 We started seeing these videos pop up of people complaining.

00:16:07.000 Then news broke of Target saying they had confrontations.

00:16:11.000 Well, hold on.

00:16:12.000 There was not enough time to have elapsed in when people on Twitter saw videos and when confrontations could have happened.

00:16:18.000 I think regular people walked into Target and went, yo, WTF?

00:16:22.000 I got my kids with me.

00:16:24.000 I don't want them seeing this stuff.

00:16:26.000 Then they filmed videos.

00:16:28.000 Then Target responded.

00:16:30.000 What we're seeing now with Target's stock collapsing is connected to Bud Light.

00:16:35.000 But it doesn't matter what... So here's the important thing.

00:16:37.000 Look.

00:16:40.000 The way I explained this last week was that I knew this woke woman and she inherited property from her family in New York.

00:16:47.000 And she was talking about marginalized people and all of that stuff.

00:16:50.000 And I asked her if a black family moved next to her property in New York, would she sell? 0.90

00:16:54.000 And she went, of course!

00:16:56.000 And I was like, are you kidding?

00:16:57.000 I was like, that's racist.

00:16:57.000 I was like, why would you do that?

00:16:59.000 And she said, because property value goes down.

00:17:01.000 And I was like, are you kidding me?

00:17:02.000 It goes down because people like you do this.

00:17:05.000 And she's like, yup.

00:17:06.000 And there's nothing I can do about it.

00:17:08.000 So I'm not going to be the one who gets economically hurt by the system.

00:17:12.000 What people need to understand is that the biases, I've talked about this before, this is a systemic bias, the market responds to fear of the market.

00:17:19.000 Yes.

00:17:20.000 And we've now created that because of Bud Light.

00:17:22.000 It does not matter what people do going to Target.

00:17:26.000 All that matters is the stock will go down.

00:17:29.000 Yep.

00:17:29.000 That means you could do absolutely nothing and people holding Target will lose money because of the negative press, causing them to panic sell, causing the price to go down, Creating a cascade effect.

00:17:40.000 I'm reminded of this quote that's attributed to Mayor Amshel Rothschild, who founded the Rothschild banking dynasty, which was like the precursor to the world, the banking, this liberal economic order banking dynasty is the Rothschilds.

00:17:52.000 They said that he said, give me control of the nation's money and I care not who makes its laws.

00:17:56.000 So when you talk about having control of money, it's not necessarily who prints it.

00:18:01.000 That's not where the control ends.

00:18:02.000 It's how you spend it.

00:18:03.000 And when you get enough people to come together to choose how to spend their money and how not to spend their money, you are more powerful than any amount of lawmaking.

00:18:11.000 And this is shown with this AB InBev drop in 11% of their stock value and Targis drop in 11%.

00:18:17.000 I mean, you can make bank runs.

00:18:20.000 That's the most powerful force on earth if you want to talk about like, I'm not advocating for that.

00:18:24.000 I thought a lot about that over the last 15 years.

00:18:26.000 Like, wow, I could just tell everyone to pull their money out on a certain day at a certain time.

00:18:29.000 But it's like, that almost feels like economic terrorism.

00:18:31.000 You know, but that amount of power that you could to move the market and control Earth.

00:18:36.000 I think Congress commits economic terrorism on us every single day.

00:18:40.000 Yeah, it's their job.

00:18:42.000 You know, this phrase, economic terrorism, I was just going to mention this because you're absolutely correct that the people have a tremendous power.

00:18:48.000 I mean, this is called the dollar democracy.

00:18:50.000 You can choose where you spend your money and companies are afraid of that.

00:18:53.000 That is why they're trying to label what's happening to target a kind of economic terrorism.

00:18:58.000 They're referring to us as extremists for not wanting to shop there anymore.

00:19:02.000 It's because they're scared.

00:19:03.000 I think as long as you're not trying to hurt people and destroy the system, there's no terror involved.

00:19:09.000 You have no responsibility to spend your money anywhere.

00:19:13.000 That's totally up to you.

00:19:14.000 The terror is the inverse.

00:19:15.000 The terror is when Antifa is like, you must support these things or else.

00:19:19.000 Or when they burned Target down!

00:19:21.000 Like they did!

00:19:22.000 Like they did!

00:19:23.000 Target got burnt down by BLM in a riot, and then they issued a statement saying, we support BLM.

00:19:29.000 People started boycotting Target because they're pushing the gross, groomy, LGBTQ agenda onto kids, and Target was like, well, this is completely unacceptable. 1.00

00:19:38.000 You have no right to do that.

00:19:39.000 Did you see a letter?

00:19:40.000 No, Target said, we're so sorry, we're gonna hide all this stuff in the back, and then whisper to the LGBT community saying, don't worry, we got your back.

00:19:47.000 So...

00:19:48.000 Well, they did kind of like what Bud Light did.

00:19:49.000 We're hiding it in the back because these conservatives are so dangerous, they're going to come hurt you.

00:19:54.000 And then one thing that I like to point out that a lot of people missed with the whole Bud Light thing, you know, everyone, there's all this talk you hear constantly that, oh, Bud Light, they fired their VP of marketing.

00:20:02.000 They didn't fire anyone.

00:20:03.000 Yeah, I know.

00:20:03.000 Exactly.

00:20:04.000 Hey, leave. 1.00

00:20:05.000 And if you even read their statement as to why she went on paid leave, at the end of the statement, you know, I don't have it in front of me right now.

00:20:11.000 I could pull it up, I guess.

00:20:12.000 It says something to the effect of being concerned for the safety of our employees, almost implying she was in so much danger from conservatives by being out in front.

00:20:21.000 They never disavowed anything they did.

00:20:23.000 I mean, conservatives wanted to call victory on that.

00:20:26.000 You can't.

00:20:26.000 I want to jump to the story from Newsweek.

00:20:28.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the latest update in the sales numbers coming through this morning at 7 a.m., Bud Light sales dropped 29.5% in latest week.

00:20:40.000 30%.

00:20:41.000 We round up.

00:20:41.000 We round up here.

00:20:43.000 30%.

00:20:43.000 That is massive.

00:20:45.000 Anecdotally, we were at a- That is brutal, dude.

00:20:47.000 We were at a hotel over the weekend and they had drink tickets from 537 Free Drinks.

00:20:51.000 I was like, great, I'll get a beer.

00:20:53.000 I'll get something IPA.

00:20:53.000 They're like, the only free beer is Bud Light.

00:20:55.000 Did you notice that?

00:20:57.000 Did you guys notice that?

00:20:57.000 Did they say that?

00:20:59.000 It was Bud Light and one other Bud.

00:21:02.000 Oh, that's so funny.

00:21:02.000 They cannot shove it out the door fast enough.

00:21:04.000 It's like, you know what, I'll pay for my drink, okay?

00:21:07.000 I'm like, thanks, I'm not getting the cheap, free... They're trying to move it!

00:21:10.000 They can't get it off the shelves.

00:21:10.000 Well, it's expiring, and so they know it's going to go bad eventually, and so it's going to be worth literally zero to them.

00:21:15.000 So, I mean, the economic situation... It becomes a cost.

00:21:19.000 They have to remove it.

00:21:19.000 How long does a beer last?

00:21:21.000 It depends on the beer and the bottle, even down to the cans.

00:21:25.000 Again, it depends on the beer and the cans.

00:21:27.000 Some people say different times, you can easily have a beer for six months, but you gotta keep in mind, some people say way longer.

00:21:33.000 I wouldn't say.

00:21:34.000 But you gotta keep in mind, those beers that are on the shelf, they came and got in and put it on the shelf on Thursday.

00:21:39.000 That beer was not canned.

00:21:41.000 With a company like Budweiser, that was not canned the week prior.

00:21:44.000 This is a massive process with these things.

00:21:46.000 So they've been traveling around the country depending on where they're at.

00:21:48.000 Does it get better over time, like wine?

00:21:51.000 Uh, no, definitely not.

00:21:53.000 Yeah.

00:21:53.000 It's more bitter, more like rancid.

00:21:55.000 Probably flattens, right?

00:21:56.000 It flattens.

00:21:57.000 I don't know that I would say rancid.

00:21:59.000 I haven't tried a super old beer, so I can't really say, but I do know it goes bad.

00:22:03.000 Check this out.

00:22:03.000 They say, according to data by Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ provided to Newsweek, in the week ending May 20th, sales volume, the number of units of beer sold declined 29.5% compared to the same period last year, while sales revenue was down 25.7% on the same.

00:22:16.000 Look.

00:22:19.000 This is not just a success.

00:22:23.000 We were reading a previous article, for those who are just tuning in, talking about New York Magazine and why it's so successful.

00:22:27.000 Success is an understatement.

00:22:29.000 Success is like someone boycotts a product and then the sales drop in the single digits and the company apologizes a week later and then you move on.

00:22:37.000 This is 30% two months later.

00:22:42.000 This is brand-ending apocalyptic.

00:22:46.000 The fear Yeah, you know, we've talked about this before.

00:22:49.000 through all these other companies, Target loses $11 billion in market value, and they

00:22:55.000 explicitly said, we fear a Bud Light situation.

00:22:58.000 Yeah, you know, we've talked about this before, you just touched on it a little bit earlier.

00:23:05.000 A huge part of this is the fact that we've politicized issues that should not be political,

00:23:11.000 Forcing this stuff onto kids shouldn't be a political issue, and your average person knows that.

00:23:15.000 They're perturbed by it without being a member of a specific political party, even if the Republican Party is the only one which will stand against it, your average person isn't a fan of it.

00:23:25.000 And when it comes to Dylan Mulvaney, your average person is grossed out by Dylan Mulvaney.

00:23:30.000 They don't want to... I mean, look, a man in a dress is a very off-putting thing, especially a man in a dress who really thinks he's a woman. 1.00

00:23:36.000 Chick-fil-A's doing it. 0.72

00:23:37.000 Yeah, well, Chick-fil-A's gonna get themselves into some trouble there, but all I'll say is, this isn't just ideologically charged, this is your average person, as you mentioned, building up an association of disgust with a brand.

00:23:51.000 I just want to say, I don't think, personally, I don't think a guy in a dress is gross.

00:23:54.000 I do. 0.86

00:23:54.000 It's a guy that pretends to be a little girl. 0.86

00:23:56.000 That's when I start to be like, way... I think that makes it way worse.

00:24:00.000 I think that makes it way worse.

00:24:01.000 Both are gross to me, but I think that makes it way worse.

00:24:04.000 It would be another thing if it was in a play, and the guy just got, they just cast an adult man as the little girl in the play.

00:24:10.000 I can even suspend my disbelief for the sake of entertainment, but it's when it's like, people are saying, I'm really this way.

00:24:16.000 I would want to question the person that made that casting call.

00:24:18.000 Yeah, theater people are weird.

00:24:21.000 The Dylan Mulvaney thing is not just that it's a man, you know, dressing up in a dress.

00:24:26.000 It's not that it's a man pretending to be a little girl.

00:24:29.000 It's that Dylan Mulvaney is intentionally insulting everyone.

00:24:34.000 Well, and Bud White was asking you to lie to us.

00:24:36.000 Let's remember the whole purpose of the can was celebrating 365 days of being a woman. 0.98

00:24:40.000 But the can wasn't the issue.

00:24:42.000 No, I understand, but I'm saying the whole point of them doing a sponsorship with her was, in their words, celebrating him being a woman for 365 days.

00:24:50.000 Except, what initially started this wasn't just the can.

00:24:54.000 It was a video of Dil Mulvaney grabbing a stack of Bud Lights, putting them down, and then the media claimed everyone's mad over a single can that was sent as a thank you, having nothing to do.

00:25:05.000 They're lying.

00:25:06.000 Dil Mulvaney's Instagram post has a Bud Light contest hashtag.

00:25:11.000 Dylan Mulvaney places a bunch of Bud Lights, says thanks, cracks one open, talks about their program and how you can participate or whatever.

00:25:17.000 It was clearly a direct Bud Light sponsorship having nothing to do with the can.

00:25:21.000 The media tries twisting and lying because they don't want regular people to know what's going on.

00:25:26.000 But here's what I see.

00:25:28.000 You name it, Dylan Mulvaney is the negative marketing element.

00:25:32.000 You've got people who are like, wow, why is this guy dressing up like a little girl?

00:25:36.000 You've got conservatives who don't like men in dresses, as Seamus described it.

00:25:40.000 Ian, who is not conservative, but still acting like a little girl is extremely off-putting. 0.95

00:25:45.000 I agree with both to a certain degree, but I think Dylan Mulvaney insults women, Dylan Mulvaney insults trans people, and Dylan Mulvaney insults liberals, and like literally just insulting everyone in any way imaginable.

00:25:57.000 And I think it's on purpose.

00:25:59.000 There was a video that went viral of Dylan watching some movie and fake crying.

00:26:03.000 And once again, they're laughing in the background.

00:26:06.000 They're laughing at Dylan fake crying.

00:26:08.000 And I don't think they're laughing because of the moment.

00:26:10.000 I think they're genuinely... I think Dylan goes, hey guys, watch this, watch this.

00:26:13.000 Did you see that?

00:26:15.000 Wasn't that funny?

00:26:16.000 And then they're all laughing.

00:26:17.000 They're having a good time mocking people.

00:26:20.000 And I think Dylan's exploiting the algorithm, and that's why TikTok is propping up these videos.

00:26:24.000 Dude, the video of Dylan on Twitter where he's like, I feel like now I'm attracted to women.

00:26:29.000 I told my dad, he's like, well, good, I hope you get a girl pregnant. 1.00

00:26:31.000 He's like, no, no, she's gonna get me pregnant. 0.97

00:26:33.000 And it's like, dude, he is joking. 0.99

00:26:35.000 He's a goofball. 0.98

00:26:37.000 Like, the dude is pulling one over on the human race. 1.00

00:26:40.000 It's Borat.

00:26:41.000 It is Bruno.

00:26:42.000 It is a person.

00:26:44.000 So, again, we've mentioned this before.

00:26:46.000 But this is what we've had a couple, I've had a couple trans social media personalities tell me, the facial hair removal laser stuff is the easiest and cheapest thing to do, and Dylan has not done it.

00:26:58.000 But, I think that Dylan is a very good example of Poe's Law, right?

00:27:02.000 You're all saying that you think it's an act, because he's clearly being ridiculous, but we're at a point where reality is indistinguishable from satire.

00:27:09.000 I see, I see.

00:27:11.000 Basically, the idea that at some point it becomes incredibly difficult to tell the difference between somebody's sincere opinion and satire because of how ridiculous things have gotten.

00:27:21.000 Yeah, that is true.

00:27:22.000 If you pretend to be something, you kind of become that thing.

00:27:25.000 Yeah, well, and also, it's this idea, or the way it's usually used is to express that things are so out of control right now that you can't tell if somebody's serious when they say something because even just a few years ago it would be a joke, or if someone else said it, it would be a joke.

00:27:39.000 For example, I won't state it out loud, but we asked a certain left-wing commentator if performing certain acts- Adult activities.

00:27:47.000 Activities on the male body is gay, and he said not if it's on a woman, which is clearly- It's awesome. 0.95

00:27:54.000 Here's the- here's the previous thing. And that's Poe's Law, because that's like a joke, right?

00:27:57.000 But beyond that, he said- I have no problem- it's Lance from the surf, he's on the show. 0.98

00:28:01.000 He said that if a man engages in relations with a masculine, ugly woman, he is gay. 0.99

00:28:07.000 Yeah. And- and Ian was like, that's not cool, man, you can't call someone gay because 0.98

00:28:10.000 their girlfriend's ugly. Like- Like, for real, like, that's kind of messed up. 0.99

00:28:14.000 I'm pretty sure that's happened.

00:28:17.000 So I think you're right.

00:28:19.000 I think what happens is, Poe's Law is a good example of what happens on the internet.

00:28:22.000 Dylan Mulvaney goes in hiking heels, wearing high heels and dancing in the forest and then falling down because of a bug.

00:28:29.000 I think that's fake.

00:28:30.000 But kids don't know it's fake, and so they start imitating these behaviors. 0.98

00:28:35.000 You then end up with people like Lance, who I think is 40-something years old, genuinely believing that is the left, and then going on a public show to millions of people and saying, if you date an ugly woman, you're gay. 0.94

00:28:48.000 And if you date a small, petite, effeminate man, you are not gay. 0.91

00:28:52.000 It's like, okay, wait, what, dude? 0.57

00:28:54.000 I hear you, but I think the difference is, so part of this law is that it's indistinguishable.

00:28:58.000 I think that is the left.

00:29:00.000 This means all bears will be surprised to learn that their twink boyfriends make them straight.

00:29:04.000 I mean, I get it, because he was also saying we can't have hot or not, right?

00:29:08.000 But he contradicted himself several times.

00:29:10.000 Yeah, but I guess my overarching point is things have gone so off the rail, and the left's morality surrounding human sexuality and quote-unquote gender, which is a term I hate, is so insane that It might seem like someone is joking, it might seem too ridiculous to believe, but that doesn't mean it's not real.

00:29:30.000 Well do you think satire and parody are like satanic?

00:29:35.000 No, I don't think so because I think they can be used to highlight truth, but I think that what happens is the world can become so insane that something which in any other era would be a harmless joke is now something taken seriously.

00:29:49.000 So here's a great example.

00:29:50.000 There was a bit in Monty Python's Meaning of Life where a child is born and they give it to the mother and the mother says, is it a boy or a girl?

00:29:58.000 And the doctor says, well, it's a bit early to be assigning roles to it, don't you think?

00:30:03.000 And I remember seeing that 10 years ago and going, oh my gosh, they made this joke decades ago and this is actually about to be a massive social justice issue, quote unquote, and it is now.

00:30:13.000 So I don't think that it was evil for Monty Python to make that joke.

00:30:18.000 I think the direction that our country has gone in is evil.

00:30:21.000 You know, you know, I was thinking earlier today. 0.98

00:30:23.000 Gen Z and millennials are literally idiocracy. 1.00

00:30:26.000 Now, idiocracy was a lot of gag humor and stuff, but we did this video segment last week. 0.57

00:30:33.000 Isabel Brown had a clip where this comedian's mocking Gen Z for being unable to write in cursive, unable to use calculators or find directions and use paper maps.

00:30:41.000 Or work.

00:30:42.000 Or work.

00:30:43.000 But seriously, they don't want to work.

00:30:44.000 Polls show they don't want to do work.

00:30:45.000 And she said that if Gen Z does take over, it'll be really easy to take it back. 0.95

00:30:45.000 I'm aware. 0.95

00:30:50.000 And then Isabel Brown makes the point, like, you were supposed to teach us.

00:30:53.000 I was thinking about that, and I'm like, it's not just Gen Z. Millennials, too, are completely incapable.

00:30:59.000 Seamus and I were talking about one of the guests we had on this show.

00:31:02.000 A lefty.

00:31:03.000 And he said something like, if you want to cover healthcare, just deficit spend.

00:31:07.000 Print the money to pay the bills.

00:31:08.000 And I said, okay, let's start from the beginning.

00:31:10.000 Where does food come from?

00:31:12.000 And his response was?

00:31:13.000 At the grocery store.

00:31:14.000 This was an adult?

00:31:16.000 An adult human male in his, what is he, 30s or something?

00:31:19.000 And we're like, no, food doesn't come from the grocery store.

00:31:22.000 It goes, oh my, like, okay, first you have a farm.

00:31:25.000 They make the food.

00:31:26.000 Then it gets sent to maybe like a regional processing plant where that particular food item is processed.

00:31:31.000 Then it has to get bottled, shipped to a bottling plant.

00:31:33.000 Then it gets shipped to a regional warehouse where it's then sent, depending on the product you have.

00:31:37.000 Sometimes fruits are directly handled right there on the farm, sent to a regional distribution, and then right to the supermarkets.

00:31:44.000 So I knew somebody who did honey.

00:31:45.000 One company would go and collect all the honey from 50 small farms, bottle it at their plant, and then distribute it.

00:31:51.000 So there's three steps.

00:31:52.000 But no, not the grocery store.

00:31:54.000 Thinking about that, I realized, We're in idiocracy.

00:31:57.000 Yeah, we're literally at the point where you walk up to the guy and say well Where's the food grocery store don't have any and you're like no food comes from farms What it comes from the grocery store and you're like, oh, yeah, but by the way, I don't I don't want to mention Who it was and the conversation was off-air, but it wasn't Lance.

00:32:14.000 I don't was not Lance.

00:32:16.000 I want to know tell me offer Yeah, and but I've had numerous conversations with people where I've talked about this.

00:32:23.000 I had one conversation during the lockdowns where I tried explaining, I was tweeting to somebody and I said, they were talking about Food in the grocery store and giving people money and they were like, the government should just start giving people more money to cover their bills while we're locked down.

00:32:41.000 And I said, right, but money represents labor, it's debt, right?

00:32:45.000 So if you're creating the means to acquire without creating the means themselves, you're gonna create this inverse reaction.

00:32:53.000 He's like, what are you talking about?

00:32:54.000 That makes no sense.

00:32:55.000 And I'm like, let's start from the beginning.

00:32:57.000 Where does milk come from?

00:32:58.000 And he said, the grocery store.

00:33:00.000 Oh my gosh.

00:33:01.000 This is what I try to- Supermarket.

00:33:02.000 So this is one way I try to explain this to people.

00:33:05.000 The economy is like a giant pizza.

00:33:08.000 And the amount of currency you have is the amount of slices in that pizza.

00:33:11.000 If the pizza doesn't get any bigger, all cutting more slices into it does is diminishes each slice.

00:33:17.000 Now you could be in a situation where I don't know.

00:33:20.000 You don't feel that the pie, given its size, is being distributed adequately, so we have to make more slices.

00:33:26.000 You can make that argument. 1.00

00:33:27.000 But to say, well, the pie isn't growing, let's slice it up more, is idiotic. 0.99

00:33:33.000 Yeah, but then you get two slices instead of one chance. 0.99

00:33:34.000 Ah, that's a good point.

00:33:35.000 But that's actually the reasoning when they say just print more money.

00:33:39.000 You're just cutting more slices into a pizza that's either staying the same size or even shrinking.

00:33:43.000 And then I thought to myself, I was like, we're in idiocracy.

00:33:45.000 It's like, we're here.

00:33:47.000 Have you seen how popular crocs are these days?

00:33:50.000 All right, everybody, I got bad news for you.

00:33:52.000 It's time to bring up the dark news.

00:33:54.000 These are the dark days.

00:33:56.000 From News Channel 8 on your side, Chick-fil-A's DEI leader sparks calls for boycott.

00:34:02.000 That's right!

00:34:03.000 Chick-fil-A has hired a diversity, equity, and inclusion officer, a VP, Named Eric McReynolds says, Chick-fil-A restaurants have long been recognized as a place where people know they will be treated well, modeling care for other starts in the restaurant, and we are committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding, and dignity everywhere we do business.

00:34:22.000 These tenets are good business practice and crucial for fulfilling our corporate purpose, blah blah blah.

00:34:26.000 They then go on to list a whole bunch of garbage and people and stuff like that, and at the bottom they say that they have a commitment.

00:34:33.000 Look, I'm from Georgia, which is where Chick-fil-A is based out of and literally was formed and founded.

00:34:42.000 If there's a long-term boycott of Chick-fil-A, then conservatives will want everything, because I don't know that you're going to pull that one off.

00:34:52.000 Because there's a lot of people that are going to fight back on that.

00:34:55.000 I say boycott Chick-fil-A.

00:34:57.000 I'm not saying whether you do or not.

00:34:58.000 I'm saying if it actually is successful, I will be very impressed.

00:35:02.000 I could not imagine a more difficult company to talk conservative moms. 1.00

00:35:08.000 Boycotting in my home state of Georgia even if even if you're showing them this they will overlook a lot and I think a lot of those moms don't when you just say DEI like look they're taking their kids to 14 different practices and running around all over the place and you're trying to say DEI this and like I don't know I'm just getting my kids nuggets with a pleasant person that's nice to me well I get what you're saying with the argument for it I just don't know that it will be successful It's easier to villainize Bud White, sorry, than Chick-fil-A.

00:35:37.000 I would agree, but this is also part of why this is so disappointing to me.

00:35:40.000 Chick-fil-A has sort of had a bit of wokeness creeping into it over the years.

00:35:45.000 In 2020, during the BLM riots, I believe that the founder was supporting BLM.

00:35:50.000 Don't quote me on that.

00:35:50.000 It might have either been the founder or the CEO.

00:35:52.000 But there have been a number of issues there and it's a shame because I was very proud to support Chick-fil-A and what they were doing for quite a while and I thought the left's reaction to them was very fascinating and very telling because the left said that Chick-fil-A was evil and why was Chick-fil-A evil?

00:36:07.000 Well, because one of the owning members or CEOs or higher-ups didn't spend the company's money, but spent his own money donating to an organization that was not pro-LGBTQ, that was in favor of preserving marriage.

00:36:20.000 It was a church camp or something.

00:36:23.000 Yeah.

00:36:23.000 And people lost their minds over this.

00:36:24.000 Now think about this for a moment.

00:36:26.000 Chick-fil-A is known to not only be one of the most profitable fast food chains per franchise, but They're also known to be one of the best franchises in terms of how they treat their employees.

00:36:39.000 They pay them decently, especially as far as fast food restaurants go, and they ensure to give all of them one single day off every single week.

00:36:47.000 Where they're not going to try to profit off of them, they're going to give them a day to relax and be there for their family, even if it means they're not selling to their customers that day.

00:36:54.000 The worst thing the left should have been able to say about Chick-fil-A is, Well, it's morally complicated, because they should have appreciated the fact that they treated their workers well. 0.90

00:37:02.000 But they don't, because they don't care about workers, they care about their sick, perverse sexual agenda, and anyone who opposes it, even with just a whisper, has to be absolutely destroyed. 0.92

00:37:11.000 And I remember... 0.95

00:37:12.000 The Burger King released an advertisement during Pride Month about two years ago, where they said they were releasing their own chicken sandwich.

00:37:19.000 And their chicken sandwich was in favor of LGBTQ rights, and you could get it on Sunday.

00:37:24.000 So in the same breath, they were mocking Chick-fil-A for being anti-LGBTQ, and mocking them for giving their workers one day off of work.

00:37:32.000 Burger King should be ashamed for the way they treat their workers. 1.00

00:37:35.000 It's not just a sexual agenda.

00:37:39.000 It is an all-around cultural revolution.

00:37:42.000 Yeah, but I think it starts with that.

00:37:43.000 I think that's a huge part of it.

00:37:44.000 I think it's just absolutely obvious what this is.

00:37:47.000 Like, we talked about this before, but DEI, D-E-I, literally is the Latin singular for God.

00:37:54.000 These people are creating offices of God, but it's not, it's a simulacrum.

00:37:59.000 Someone commented that a moment ago, that don't move into simulacrum, not the words in my mind.

00:38:03.000 It is a false I think both are true. 0.51

00:38:07.000 that is being created to substitute it for people and they are marching in lockstep like deranged psychopaths.

00:38:14.000 That's so, I think both are true.

00:38:16.000 Culturally.

00:38:17.000 The son, Dan Cathy Jr. is not his father and if I had to make a prediction and bet all

00:38:25.000 the beer in the world on it, I would say that Dan Cathy Jr.

00:38:29.000 is going to cave to the left.

00:38:30.000 Dan Cathy Jr.?

00:38:31.000 Who's that?

00:38:32.000 The son.

00:38:33.000 Maybe the second junior or whatever.

00:38:34.000 Of the owner of Chick-fil-A?

00:38:35.000 Yeah.

00:38:36.000 Truett Cathy's the founder, and then I guess... Oh, I see.

00:38:40.000 Dan Cathy is the chairman.

00:38:42.000 Currently.

00:38:43.000 Right, but is he a junior?

00:38:44.000 Maybe he's not.

00:38:45.000 Whatever.

00:38:46.000 I disagree with you.

00:38:47.000 I think Chick-fil-A will be one of the easier things to boycott.

00:38:50.000 No, I'm saying, okay, I'll bet you money on that one.

00:38:52.000 I'm just, A, they're not a public company.

00:38:54.000 They're not a public company.

00:38:56.000 Which means it's easier to pressure.

00:38:59.000 No, you can't go after their stock.

00:39:01.000 But see, the thing about Chick-fil-A is that they already have the disadvantage of being the Christian company when it comes to the issue with the left.

00:39:10.000 So the left is targeting them very heavily and ignoring all these other companies that have done anything remotely similar.

00:39:14.000 I think one of the funny things about the Chick-fil-A boycotts on the left was that other companies had made similar donations, but nobody cared.

00:39:21.000 It's because Chick-fil-A was overtly Christian. 0.98

00:39:23.000 Yeah.

00:39:23.000 Chick-fil-A, my understanding, they're trying to get into more urban markets, but because Chick-fil-A is so pronounced, conservatives have identified with it, and are now going to be, in my opinion, much more offended by it.

00:39:37.000 And, you mentioned suburban moms?

00:39:40.000 Dad might be like, eh, go to Popeyes.

00:39:42.000 That's all it takes.

00:39:43.000 All it takes is for the husband or the dad to be like, just go to Popeye's, honey, it's across the street.

00:39:48.000 I get it, but I'm from Georgia, and look, I get the understanding of like, we should, all this kind of stuff, but go to a Chick-fil-A in suburbia Georgia right now, and you're not gonna see a lot of dads in there, you're gonna see a lot of moms with a lot of little kids.

00:40:01.000 And what I'm saying is, when mom is like, hey, I'm gonna pick up the kids after soccer, and then we're gonna go grab some Chick-fil-A, and all it takes is for him to say, bring them to Popeye's.

00:40:10.000 Well, the one thing, though, in this Chick-fil-A is incredibly efficient.

00:40:14.000 Look, if the mom doesn't care about the brand at all, Then the slightest nudge should knock her off. 1.00

00:40:19.000 No, but the moms love the brand. 1.00

00:40:21.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:40:22.000 The moms absolutely love the Chick-fil-A brand. 1.00

00:40:26.000 I cannot think of a brand the superb moms love more than Chick-fil-A. 0.95

00:40:31.000 At least in the South.

00:40:31.000 Keep in mind, y'all don't have them up here yet.

00:40:34.000 Not really.

00:40:34.000 What do you mean?

00:40:35.000 We have them all over the place.

00:40:36.000 We get Chick-fil-A all the time.

00:40:37.000 We order big things of Chick-fil-A here.

00:40:39.000 We're not going to do it anymore.

00:40:40.000 I'm not going to buy from them.

00:40:42.000 I would agree with you if- Every mall's got it.

00:40:44.000 I would agree with you if the point was simply that, you know, people are only going to Chick-fil-A because of the more conservative values, the fact that they've been maligned by the left, but they have probably the most efficient drive-thru system of any fast food chain.

00:40:56.000 They can get you in and they can get you out no matter how long that line is.

00:40:59.000 Absolutely wrong.

00:41:00.000 Oh, no, that is not wrong.

00:41:01.000 You cannot, absolutely, I'm completely correct.

00:41:05.000 Snopes fact-checked what you said was true.

00:41:08.000 Snopes agrees with you.

00:41:09.000 I'm correct about this.

00:41:10.000 Chick-fil-A's drive-thru is overloaded.

00:41:13.000 Explain it.

00:41:16.000 If there's one drive-thru restaurant that I've left, it's Chick-fil-A.

00:41:20.000 And that's up here locations?

00:41:21.000 This was in Jersey and downtown.

00:41:23.000 here. In Jersey, yes, here's the problem. And down here.

00:41:27.000 Even here. So that's what I'm talking about in the South. Maybe y'all don't have enough homeschool kids

00:41:30.000 here to run the Chick-fil-A's like we do in the South. But that is, like, jokingly, it is

00:41:36.000 largely run by homeschool kids.

00:41:38.000 If you think the moral fiber of the homeschool kids and conservatives are so weak they can't

00:41:43.000 even push back on this, then so be it. You're not going to have me arguing the strong moral fiber of

00:41:50.000 conservatives willing to stand up.

00:41:51.000 I've been proud and impressed to see that with Bud Light, but we have a history of conservatives of not standing up for anything.

00:41:58.000 I agree.

00:42:00.000 Again, I get it.

00:42:02.000 But also, about the drive-thru thing, that's crazy.

00:42:06.000 The lines take so long.

00:42:09.000 And I understand it's an issue of demand.

00:42:11.000 But I would say, every time I've gone to Taco Bell, I drive up, I order, we drive up, we wait a little bit, we order, we're gone.

00:42:19.000 Starbucks, we wait a little bit, we drive up, we order, we're gone.

00:42:21.000 Chick-fil-A, we sit in line, someone comes out the window, they take our order, we're sitting there, a half an hour later we get our food, and I'm like... There's two lanes to go through, there's an exit lane, it's insane.

00:42:32.000 They've prioritized their drive-through to such a ridiculous degree, on more than one occasion, we've just been like, let's just leave.

00:42:38.000 And then we've pulled out and left, because it took too long.

00:42:41.000 Every time I've ever gone there, I've been extremely impressed with how quickly I got through the drive-thru.

00:42:44.000 Like, I've been to McDonald's or Taco Bell or Wendy's with a line that was a quarter of the length of Chick-fil-A lines I've been in, and it took five times as long.

00:42:54.000 That's my experience.

00:42:55.000 It looks like it would be different in the South, I promise you this.

00:42:58.000 That could also be, but the thing is, when you're in the South, like, I'm sorry, I also have lived in Georgia for a number of years, service is usually much slower there.

00:43:05.000 When I go to Chick-fil-A on there, it is like you are in and out.

00:43:07.000 Then go to the one here.

00:43:09.000 I may do that tomorrow.

00:43:16.000 They've hired a DEI.

00:43:18.000 This is more than just a promotional campaign.

00:43:21.000 This is outright saying from the top down they have put a cult non-theistic religious office in their business.

00:43:31.000 And it's worse than the Chinese Communist Party.

00:43:34.000 The Chinese Communist Party, as a government agency, puts Communist Party offices in businesses in China.

00:43:42.000 But it is an element of government.

00:43:44.000 This is a cult that is putting its tendrils in everything.

00:43:49.000 And the story that the media is running is that the right is angry over equality or something like that.

00:43:55.000 They're lying, of course.

00:43:56.000 They're making up lies.

00:43:57.000 The reality is a new, excuse me, non-theistic, non-theistic religion is now putting itself in all of our businesses and then forcing those businesses to destroy themselves. 0.96

00:44:10.000 Unless, like, we're at the point now Where it may be the moral fiber of the average American, if you're right, is so pathetic that we're doomed.

00:44:21.000 Well, I think part of what's really disturbing about the Chick-fil-A situation is that usually with this DEI stuff, when it's implemented, my understanding is it's because people think that that will make their business more attractive to venture capital or shareholders, but Chick-fil-A isn't even a publicly traded company.

00:44:37.000 I have no idea where the demand was.

00:44:40.000 Unless they have some kind of plans for venture capital expansion, etc.

00:44:44.000 But that's part of what we're, you know, you're talking about the lack of courage or sticking through.

00:44:50.000 That's part of, a large part of why we created Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer.

00:44:54.000 And it was to encourage people to make a stand and stick through that stand.

00:44:59.000 And, you know, beer happens to be the catalyst.

00:45:02.000 And, you know, one day I was talking with Scott Pressler, We're going to use this as a catalyst.

00:45:07.000 We're going to have on the cans a QR code where you can scan it to register to vote.

00:45:12.000 Because we have tons of rural, conservative individuals that drink a lot of beer, but don't vote.

00:45:19.000 And so we're going to use this as a catalyst to get those people to do that.

00:45:22.000 That is brilliant!

00:45:23.000 Tell them to vote responsibly.

00:45:25.000 Well, I think if they're drinking Conservative Dad's Ultrarite beer, there's a good chance they're going to vote okay.

00:45:32.000 I want to follow up this tweet from Samuel Say.

00:45:35.000 This tweet helps you understand why it is that companies like Chick-fil-A get woke.

00:45:39.000 He says this is serious.

00:45:41.000 Anthony Bass is a professing Christian.

00:45:44.000 He shared a post supporting the Target boycott.

00:45:47.000 Now he's apologizing for hurting the pride community and he says he'll better educate himself.

00:45:53.000 He is betraying Jesus and his conscience.

00:45:55.000 Pray for him.

00:45:56.000 I want to play for you this short clip of what he had to say.

00:45:58.000 Here we go.

00:46:00.000 I recognize yesterday I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine, and I am truly sorry for that.

00:46:12.000 I just spoke with my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday.

00:46:17.000 I apologized with them and as of right now I'm using the Blue Jays resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward.

00:46:25.000 The ballpark is for everybody.

00:46:26.000 We include all fans at the ballpark and we want to welcome everybody.

00:46:31.000 That's all I have to say.

00:46:32.000 Thank you.

00:46:33.000 Oh my goodness.

00:46:34.000 So this is him saying he's going to get re-educated.

00:46:37.000 Like, no joke, he says he's using the resources of the Blue Jays to better educate himself.

00:46:42.000 It's literally, like, we used to make fun of this.

00:46:45.000 You know, in The Simpsons, they get re-neducated.

00:46:48.000 That's right.

00:46:48.000 The idea of being forced to undergo a struggle session and re-education we knew in this country was a sign something was wrong.

00:46:57.000 This pathetic coward of a man. 1.00

00:46:59.000 Hat in hand, pathetic. 1.00

00:47:02.000 And that's back to what I was talking about with the caving. 1.00

00:47:04.000 Conservatives tend to cave.

00:47:06.000 How do you feel, Seamus?

00:47:07.000 He's a Christian.

00:47:11.000 Yeah, I think he should have stayed strong to his values as a Christian.

00:47:14.000 I mean, I don't know what to say.

00:47:16.000 I would say he's not a Christian. 0.99

00:47:18.000 Well, I can't say he's not a Christian, but I can say that I don't think a Christian should cave into a mob that's trying to promote sin.

00:47:24.000 Because he has young fans who look up to him.

00:47:26.000 He's not a Christian. 1.00

00:47:27.000 When I was a little kid, I remember I went to Catholic school, and I remember we were learning about religious wars and stuff like that, in a very limited sense.

00:47:35.000 but i remember hearing about like you know one religious faction would say convert or else

00:47:42.000 and i was thought to myself i was like why not just lie just say oh sure sure of course i i hear by convert so they

00:47:48.000 don't kill you well that's what people would say with them no

00:47:51.000 they would say no exactly the fact that this guy in in what a day

00:47:56.000 Dropped to his knees and begged, begged, please, I'll renounce my entire faith if you just leave me alone! 0.99

00:48:02.000 Like, dude, his balls must have shrunk down to the size of marbles and sucked up right into his body. 0.99

00:48:07.000 Three times before the rooster crowed, he denied Christ from the way I heard that. 0.99

00:48:10.000 Yeah, I mean, I'll mention this, when you say that people would say convert or die, and some people would lie about that, I mean, in part, that's...

00:48:17.000 When you ask, like, why not lie?

00:48:19.000 Well, they're okay with you lying.

00:48:20.000 They're okay with you not actually believing as long as you're willing, yeah, to throw your beliefs under the bus.

00:48:23.000 So I definitely hear what you're saying there.

00:48:25.000 They want you to profess to the world that you give up.

00:48:29.000 Yes, and I think it's very sad that he did this, and I really hope that he repents.

00:48:33.000 I really hope he repents and turns back to Christ, but I also am not going to, like, make a specific claim about it.

00:48:39.000 He was due to make three million in 2023.

00:48:41.000 So that's what he's speaking for the three million right now.

00:48:44.000 Well, a prophet's a man nothing to give his soul and gain the world in return. 0.97

00:48:46.000 You think that he would have been better if he just stuck to his word and got fired?

00:48:50.000 Amen, yeah, absolutely.

00:48:51.000 You know what?

00:48:52.000 Because they're persecuting him for the sake of the kingdom.

00:48:54.000 He should embrace it, right?

00:48:56.000 What is it?

00:48:57.000 It's easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle? 0.86

00:48:59.000 It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:49:02.000 And that's exactly why.

00:49:03.000 But with God, all things are possible.

00:49:05.000 That said, yes, this is one of the reasons.

00:49:06.000 That's exactly why.

00:49:07.000 Because this guy would It's remarkable.

00:49:07.000 That is one of the reasons.

00:49:11.000 But this says to me, this man is not a Christian.

00:49:15.000 For if he truly believed, there is nothing on God's green earth that would have him profess to the world a rejection of his faith.

00:49:24.000 Unless he did not have it in the first place.

00:49:26.000 I mean, it's hard, it's also really difficult to speak to whether someone had it in the first place, too.

00:49:31.000 Those aren't claims I can make, but I would say that was not the Christian thing to do, to renounce.

00:49:35.000 But look, my point is this.

00:49:36.000 Do you think this man truly believes that when he dies, he will be judged?

00:49:41.000 That action certainly doesn't indicate that he believes that.

00:49:44.000 I can't tell you what he believes, but that action doesn't indicate he believes it.

00:49:47.000 He doesn't believe he'll be judged.

00:49:48.000 He believes that, right now, in his life, he can say anything for any personal gain.

00:49:54.000 He is a fake Christian. 1.00

00:49:56.000 And this is an issue so many people on the left have had with Christians for a long time. 0.88

00:50:00.000 People like him, who claim to be Christians, who clearly are not. 0.88

00:50:03.000 Well, no, they love Christians who are willing to cave into them, right? 1.00

00:50:07.000 But their argument is... What I mean is... No, I get what you're saying.

00:50:11.000 He's very valuable to the left, right? 0.94

00:50:12.000 For me, growing up, so much of the complaints I heard in cities was that there were people who were claimed to be Christian, and then they would be the nastiest, most cutthroat, evil, greedy people you've ever met. 0.91

00:50:23.000 And that's exactly what that guy is. 0.97

00:50:24.000 Christians give Christians a bad name often.

00:50:25.000 And I have an example that's interesting.

00:50:29.000 I haven't really told this.

00:50:30.000 So we originally started with this beer when we announced it.

00:50:34.000 We had worked with a brewery in Illinois.

00:50:37.000 And they had told us initially, I don't think they understood how big this would get.

00:50:41.000 And so initially they said, yes, they would brew the beer for us, yada yada.

00:50:44.000 Things were proceeding forward.

00:50:46.000 And they let us know that they're very good Christians.

00:50:51.000 That they are concerned about what's happening with all the trans stuff being pushed on kids.

00:50:56.000 They're conservatives.

00:50:57.000 These are things that are important to them.

00:50:58.000 They believed.

00:50:59.000 Well, they believed up until Newsweek called.

00:51:04.000 What's the name of the brewery?

00:51:07.000 I pulled that out to make sure, because there's another brewery with a similar name.

00:51:10.000 I wanted to make sure.

00:51:11.000 I have not listed this on anything yet, so I'm giving it to you now, the correct one.

00:51:14.000 It is Bent River Brewing Company.

00:51:18.000 Rock Island, Illinois.

00:51:20.000 They were afraid of backlash from the woke mobs because our can, I don't have it right side up, has the word conservative on it.

00:51:30.000 And they bailed on us.

00:51:32.000 So that's part of it.

00:51:33.000 Our beer is shipping 30 days out.

00:51:36.000 I mean, they put out to the media that as soon as they saw our ad, they disassociated with us.

00:51:43.000 More or less, we're terrible people.

00:51:44.000 They love everybody.

00:51:46.000 But there are big, strong Christians that cared about trans ideology and pushed on kids in private conversation.

00:51:51.000 And they lied!

00:51:52.000 They said that they stopped working with us as soon as they saw our ad.

00:51:55.000 I've got email communication with them after. 0.99

00:51:58.000 So they're scumbags and they did it under their giant Christian name. 1.00

00:52:03.000 They're not Christians. 1.00

00:52:05.000 Which is not surprising.

00:52:05.000 I understand.

00:52:06.000 I'm making your point here with these individuals.

00:52:12.000 I was zero bit shocked when it happened.

00:52:15.000 Because that's what I come to expect from these kind of individuals.

00:52:19.000 And fortunately we found other breweries.

00:52:20.000 Now we've got a huge brewery in Florida as well.

00:52:22.000 We've made up for it.

00:52:24.000 How many true believers do you think there really are on the left?

00:52:28.000 Like, oh, that's a good question.

00:52:29.000 Like, they're cognizant of their ideologies and their methods.

00:52:33.000 I think it's a very small percentage.

00:52:34.000 I think most of them are just going along and getting along.

00:52:36.000 And that's true of Christians as well.

00:52:38.000 That's people, yeah.

00:52:39.000 So when people live in an area that's mostly Christian, they say, oh, of course we are.

00:52:43.000 Then the moment the left calls, they say, sure, we're left now.

00:52:43.000 Exactly.

00:52:45.000 The go-along, get-along people.

00:52:46.000 I mean, this is what people say when they point out that if you lived in Nazi Germany, you probably would not have been on the right side of that. 1.00

00:52:54.000 These bastards would have turned them over in a freaking heartbeat. 1.00

00:52:56.000 In a heartbeat. 1.00

00:52:57.000 They can't even stand up to saying, yeah, in a heartbeat.

00:53:00.000 They can't handle pressure from you got some nasty email comments or Facebook comments because someone wants to cut dicks off kids and you're making a beer for a guy that says, yeah, maybe we shouldn't do that.

00:53:11.000 If you can't stand up to that, I don't I don't think you would have done too well with the whole Germany situation. 0.73

00:53:17.000 Yeah, yeah, amen.

00:53:18.000 I mean, there are too many Christians who are willing to sell out their faith and we don't need more scared Christians. 0.99

00:53:25.000 I'm going to get a lot of crap for this, but I've said this for years, is the evangelical community, there's a part of it that they're out there voting in the primaries and they're hardcore, but the general Christian community as a whole They preach something on Sunday, but they are the ones that cave. 0.84

00:53:41.000 They're some of the absolute weakest individuals when it comes to this, and I'm probably going to get canceled for like the 48th time by saying this.

00:53:49.000 But they continue to cave, and that's again kind of What this beer is about, what we're doing, it's encouraging people.

00:53:57.000 We don't have to cave.

00:53:58.000 And I think the whole Bud Light effect that you're talking about, conservatives are, for the first time, I feel like, you know, you're using Target as the example.

00:54:05.000 For the first time, I feel like conservatives are like, wow, we have this power.

00:54:08.000 Like, what's this new power?

00:54:09.000 Let's try it out.

00:54:10.000 This is interesting.

00:54:11.000 Because I don't think they really believed they had it prior to Bud Light.

00:54:15.000 I think that's what sold it to them.

00:54:17.000 Yeah, I think that's true.

00:54:18.000 And there's another element I'll add here, which is that we got to remember that when it comes to Bud Light, Target as well, but more so Bud Light, there are easily accessible competitors.

00:54:27.000 A person doesn't really have to make many significant changes in their life to just buy a different brand of beer.

00:54:32.000 And so that's why conservatives have to realize that those in the movement who would consider themselves leaders, who are go-getters, have to start Businesses, so that there are competing brands with the big guys, so that when people do have to boycott these companies they have somewhere else to go.

00:54:49.000 Because if Bud Light was the only beer brand available, I think things would have gone differently.

00:54:56.000 Right?

00:54:57.000 People had other options.

00:54:58.000 It's good that we did.

00:54:59.000 We need to start creating more options.

00:55:01.000 Matt, you think that, I think that greed, is greed a sin?

00:55:05.000 Is greed a sin?

00:55:06.000 It's one of the seven deadly sins.

00:55:07.000 But getting rich is not?

00:55:09.000 No, getting rich is not necessarily a sin.

00:55:10.000 So you can be a rich Christian, even though they say you can't take your wealth with you?

00:55:13.000 People that seek and grow familial wealth?

00:55:16.000 No, you can do a lot of good things with money.

00:55:17.000 Exactly.

00:55:20.000 A rich Christian surely has to live differently than a rich pagan, right? 1.00

00:55:24.000 A rich Christian has to do more with their money to support the church, to support the poor, to help others. 0.94

00:55:31.000 Elon Musk has done a lot for this country with his wealth.

00:55:36.000 Honestly, here's something I should truly thank Elon Musk.

00:55:40.000 This beer company would not exist without Elon Musk.

00:55:43.000 And I can say that confidently because we got roughly over 45 million views on my Twitter of that ad.

00:55:49.000 That would have never been allowed to happen in the past under previous ownership.

00:55:53.000 And it's also why we didn't get near those kind of views on Facebook or Instagram or anything.

00:55:59.000 They got a lot of views, comparatively speaking, but nothing like it did on Twitter now that Elon is kind of taking the chains off.

00:56:05.000 It feels like the Christ is like blowing up through Elon, like it's bubbling in him, like that Christ energy, the anointed, like he's been, I don't know if he's been anointed by God, what that even means really, but like he's carrying the torch, like he's doing things that will make humanity better off through American ideals, and I don't know what better Christian thing you could do in the modern age.

00:56:25.000 It's an interesting point.

00:56:26.000 I think I wouldn't describe it that way theologically, however, I do believe the truth is a person, and that person is Jesus Christ, so when somebody is forwarding truth, they are doing something for God, in a sense, right?

00:56:40.000 Like, they're on the right side.

00:56:42.000 Maybe not in totality, but, you know, maybe not with everything they do, but in that particular... No, no one is with everything.

00:56:47.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:56:50.000 My point isn't like anytime anyone does something good, they are now a professing Christian.

00:56:53.000 It's just to say that if you're fighting for truth, then that is a service.

00:56:56.000 What you guys are saying, Tim, what you brought up earlier, I think there are so many people that identify as Christians that aren't, and so many people that identify as Jewish that aren't, just because they don't believe in God.

00:57:05.000 If you don't believe, like truly believe it, because I don't know if you have to experience it to believe that it's there.

00:57:11.000 Like, we'll say there's like 300 million Christians and probably like 0.00001% of them actually are Christian.

00:57:20.000 There's 2.2 billion Christians worldwide.

00:57:23.000 And probably like 100,000 of them that are actually Christ-like.

00:57:27.000 Yeah, but you gotta remember, I mean, you don't join the church for the other Christians, you join the church for Christ.

00:57:33.000 Other Christians are gonna sin, they're gonna be vicious, they're gonna fail to live up to what they should live up to. 1.00

00:57:39.000 But so will you, so will all of us, right?

00:57:41.000 It's important to keep each other honest, like, without consuming ourselves, to be like, yo, yo, like, you can talk a lot of smack about what that guy's doing wrong, but if you're not living that lifestyle of Christ... This is where the love gets right.

00:57:57.000 Wielding power, you win.

00:57:58.000 Yep.

00:57:59.000 The conservatives, the right, don't.

00:58:01.000 That's what I think.

00:58:02.000 I feel like the Romans, when they set up Catholicism, they made it so that it kept... The Romans did not set up Catholicism.

00:58:06.000 That's not, yeah, that's not how it goes.

00:58:08.000 You don't think so?

00:58:09.000 It wasn't the Council of Nicaea, 70 years after Christ's death, they...

00:58:12.000 No, no, no.

00:58:14.000 So the Council of Nicaea was a bit after that, and this was not set up... Like, yes, there was Roman involvement, but this is not something the Romans ran.

00:58:24.000 This was the early Christians basically making a number of statements about their beliefs because, like, at the time of Christ, there were just a lot of grifters who were coming in and making up things that had nothing to do with Christ's teaching. 0.61

00:58:38.000 So then the church had to sort this out and go, like, okay, what is the actual official canon going to be?

00:58:42.000 What's going to be in the Bible?

00:58:43.000 Like, how are we going to declare our faith?

00:58:47.000 That type of thing.

00:58:47.000 But it was not the Romans who set it up.

00:58:49.000 What concerns me is the authority of the time that was setting it up made it seem that, like, weakness is key.

00:58:53.000 Like, in order to be a Christian, you have to be weak. 1.00

00:58:55.000 You have to be subservient to the authority.

00:58:58.000 And, like, no, man, power does control the world.

00:59:00.000 That's what you're saying, Tim.

00:59:01.000 Like, the left has understood this.

00:59:06.000 Christianity. Well, because the so Christians have been persecuted for a 0.89

00:59:09.000 good while before the Council of Nicaea, right? Because this is in the 300s.

00:59:13.000 Yeah, this is in the 300s. So this is not like it is after Christ's death.

00:59:17.000 There are multiple councils. Well, no, the one that's... We'll have an educational

00:59:21.000 village to put on a different show. Yeah, I guess my point is just that the Romans 1.00

00:59:25.000 did not set up Catholicism. But continue with the point that you were making overall.

00:59:29.000 That power controls everything.

00:59:31.000 The left is unafraid, and their ethos, their moral framework is there is no truth but power.

00:59:37.000 And the right is like, let's all just be good stewards of our community.

00:59:40.000 Yeah, because Jesus was like, alright, if you want to kill me, go ahead.

00:59:44.000 And then they killed him, and it's like, no, that's not what you're supposed to do to survive an inaccurate summarization.

00:59:49.000 Well, he was like, they came and got him, and he just was like, no, don't stop them, let them take me.

00:59:52.000 How about you stop shifting the conversation into arguments about religion?

00:59:56.000 I'm telling you why power is what controls... But you keep shifting it into a way that you know is going to intentionally insult Christians.

01:00:02.000 No, no, no.

01:00:03.000 But I think the reason why the right doesn't understand the value of power is because Christianity has been sold to us as if being a serf... Okay, is wrong?

01:00:13.000 No, no, no.

01:00:14.000 What you're saying is not correct.

01:00:16.000 Both Seamus and Serge both said, like, hey, this is not correct.

01:00:20.000 And so I said, let's have an educational conversation on religion somewhere else and get back to the conversation about the moral framework of the left.

01:00:26.000 Let's move on from talking about- Yeah, Mao figured it out.

01:00:28.000 Power is what controls society.

01:00:31.000 Out of the barrel of a gun, I think Mao said.

01:00:33.000 And unless these religious folks start to understand that, I'm afraid that they will always be coming in second. 1.00

01:00:39.000 Well, I think that truth is more important than power, and that's the message here.

01:00:42.000 Truth is far more important than power.

01:00:43.000 It's better to have the truth on your side than to have power on your side.

01:00:46.000 But who controls the truth is who owns the media.

01:00:49.000 No, there's a reason we call them liars.

01:00:52.000 Instead of saying, well, the media said it, so it's true. 1.00

01:00:55.000 Yeah, but if you don't know they're lying, then you think it's truth, and you define it as truth.

01:00:59.000 You can think something is true, but be wrong about that.

01:01:02.000 This is the point with the left.

01:01:05.000 The true believers don't care if they're correct.

01:01:07.000 They say 2 plus 2 equals 5.

01:01:09.000 They've entertained that prospect because when you come out and agree with them, they know they own you.

01:01:17.000 It's the Star Trek.

01:01:19.000 How many lights are there?

01:01:21.000 You're mistaken.

01:01:22.000 There are five lights, right?

01:01:23.000 They come to you and say, what's two plus two?

01:01:26.000 You say four.

01:01:26.000 They say, no, you're wrong.

01:01:27.000 It's five.

01:01:28.000 Now say it again.

01:01:29.000 What's two plus two?

01:01:30.000 They want to force you to say the lie.

01:01:32.000 I've been saying this for years.

01:01:33.000 They want to force you to say the lie.

01:01:34.000 I refuse to say the lie, regardless of the topic, whether it's how many genders, whatever it is.

01:01:40.000 Just say it, Seth.

01:01:41.000 Just agree.

01:01:41.000 And people who would rather die than go along with the lie are the biggest threat to the establishment possible, which is why they end up being executed in tyrannical regimes.

01:01:50.000 Let's jump to the story, this is a big one.

01:01:53.000 From TMZ, Target Pride Controversy, Bomb Threat from Angry LGBTQ Ally Deemed a Hoax.

01:02:00.000 So, this involves us, and it happened on Friday, I get a text message asking me if it was true, and sure enough, there's an email. 0.95

01:02:09.000 The email says that Target is full of swear word cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right-wing redneck bigots, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.91

01:02:20.000 Then says they're gonna target a bunch of locations. 0.95

01:02:22.000 The email is listed as being sent to members at TimCast.com.

01:02:27.000 We never received this email.

01:02:29.000 Cleveland 19 News published it.

01:02:31.000 We never received that email.

01:02:35.000 So I don't know where they got it from. 0.99

01:02:37.000 I wonder if someone sent them a screenshot and they, like morons, just publish it.

01:02:43.000 This is what I wanted to ask you about because you were talking about this over the weekend and you said that you got a similar email but not the same one. 0.53

01:02:50.000 So I'm curious, why would they make something similar and not show the actual one?

01:02:54.000 How could they have gotten access to it?

01:02:56.000 No idea.

01:02:57.000 They could have spoofed our email, sent an email to Cleveland19 but spoofed it so that it appeared like it was sent to us and not them, but they receive it. 0.98

01:03:06.000 But that just goes to show how stupid these people are by publishing an email that wasn't sent to them, but was sent to a different address. 0.98

01:03:14.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:03:15.000 Unless the email was sent to the most fake or Cleveland 19 actually staged the hoax themselves.

01:03:20.000 My guess is that somebody made a... I mean, hey, that's big news.

01:03:24.000 Then it forces us, one of the biggest shows on live streaming on YouTube, to talk about it.

01:03:29.000 Well, the great thing is, if you're a liberal and something supports your perspective, you can say, oh, hey, here's a screenshot of an email, I promise it's really, really true, and send it to the media and they'll publish it.

01:03:41.000 That's nuts.

01:03:41.000 It's wild.

01:03:42.000 Assume it's fake before you do anything.

01:03:43.000 Yeah, this is the article from Cleveland 19 News.

01:03:45.000 They say, Cleveland 19 News receives bomb threat against five targets as store faces LGBTQ controversy, but for some reason they published an email that supposedly was sent to us, which we never received.

01:03:55.000 So what, like, just photoshopped?

01:03:57.000 Someone photoshopped on the email address?

01:03:58.000 I'd like to know what made this news organization think it was good journalism to publish an email that wasn't sent to them without confirming with us if we received it when we didn't.

01:04:07.000 That's a very fair point.

01:04:09.000 They were just like, hey, someone claims Tim Poole's company received this email.

01:04:13.000 Run it in full!

01:04:15.000 Wait, so, do you know who reached out to them?

01:04:17.000 What did they claim?

01:04:18.000 Like, a source from Two Pools?

01:04:19.000 They just published it.

01:04:20.000 No one from here communicated with them, and we did not receive that email.

01:04:26.000 I got a text from someone else saying, is this email real?

01:04:29.000 I saw it and I said, what that?

01:04:30.000 What is this?

01:04:31.000 We immediately checked.

01:04:32.000 This email does not exist.

01:04:34.000 We've never gotten it.

01:04:35.000 No idea what this is.

01:04:37.000 So what happens?

01:04:38.000 Did someone email?

01:04:39.000 Like, how is it that Cleveland 19 received an email?

01:04:44.000 And by the way, I know we're getting into the weeds, but several stores were evacuated over this.

01:04:49.000 Oh, so this was part of that evacuation?

01:04:50.000 They immediately called the police for several evacuations.

01:04:54.000 I mean, do we have a lawsuit against them for publishing this?

01:04:58.000 You know what happens in the future now?

01:05:00.000 The person that's just the kind of read the news a little bit every now and then on a few websites sees this and says, oh that Timcast, oh that fringe group of people that was encouraging this awful, you know, bomb scare at a Target.

01:05:12.000 And that's what's forever in their head.

01:05:15.000 I think if they don't retract it... No, it looks like we're the ones who reported it.

01:05:18.000 It looks like we received it and alerted the news and law enforcement.

01:05:24.000 Well, I guess, yeah, you'd have to make a lot of assumptions to get there, I guess, with them putting that out there.

01:05:27.000 The only assumption you can make here is that we received this and forwarded it to the press and law enforcement, or to law enforcement who gave it to the press, or something like that.

01:05:35.000 The email came from, it alleged, the image says to members at TimCast.com, we never got this, the email does not exist.

01:05:43.000 I don't know what this is or how they got it.

01:05:45.000 So it looks fake, and they ran it.

01:05:48.000 The assumption from any regular person is going to be that we are the ones who received it first and passed it on.

01:05:53.000 That is very strange.

01:05:54.000 It's very strange.

01:05:54.000 Very, very weird.

01:05:56.000 Is this from the perspective of the person who received the email or from the person that sent it, looking at a draft?

01:06:03.000 Received.

01:06:04.000 It's a complete email that says, from and to.

01:06:08.000 So I'm curious, why didn't this company reach out to us?

01:06:13.000 I mean, maybe, I don't know, maybe they tried and nobody answered them, it was Memorial Day weekend, maybe that was the point.

01:06:18.000 Why would they run this story without confirming with us first how they received an email that was sent to us but went to them instead?

01:06:25.000 Yeah.

01:06:26.000 Unless someone sent them a picture of an email saying, hey, look at this thing.

01:06:31.000 What on us?

01:06:32.000 That email doesn't exist.

01:06:34.000 Yeah, I mean, it's hard to even figure out what their angle would be for doing something like this.

01:06:40.000 I don't know. It's weird. At first I tweeted that I thought it was a hoax intended to smear the left

01:06:44.000 and the purpose of putting our name on it was to force us to talk about it on the show,

01:06:48.000 which they've successfully done. Now I think honestly it's a possibility, but the simple

01:06:55.000 solution is just the left uses violence and threats to gain political power.

01:07:00.000 By maximizing PR reach, they make sure everybody knows they will come after them.

01:07:05.000 That's it.

01:07:06.000 Interesting.

01:07:09.000 There's no reason to smear the left by faking something like this with a false flag, because the left literally goes out and firebombs buildings.

01:07:14.000 So to be clear, you're saying you do think that this is a hoax?

01:07:16.000 This particular story?

01:07:18.000 I'm saying that I believe the email was actually sent by a leftist.

01:07:21.000 Okay.

01:07:21.000 Intending to threaten these establishments.

01:07:24.000 Not that they actually... It's a bomb threat hoax because they didn't plant any bombs.

01:07:28.000 But the real purpose was psychological terror from someone who was likely on the left trying to threaten people and say these are the things that they do.

01:07:36.000 Has Target issued any kind of statement about this?

01:07:38.000 Not that I'm aware.

01:07:39.000 Yeah, I know that it was being claimed, I mentioned earlier, that people who are boycotting Target are extremists, and haven't heard too much from the left about this.

01:07:50.000 What a mess this email is.

01:07:51.000 Any reporter that had done even a moment of thinking, I would think, would be like, this email was written to someone at a Target, because it's talking about your targets, doing this to your targets, except the two email addresses.

01:08:03.000 We are sending you a message!

01:08:06.000 See, that's the other thing about it.

01:08:07.000 It was sent to members, allegedly sent to members at TimGuess.com saying they were sending us a message threatening us.

01:08:12.000 And then look below the addresses.

01:08:14.000 We will continue to, the email says, your targets.

01:08:19.000 What are they talking about?

01:08:19.000 Like they're sending it to a target administrator.

01:08:21.000 If they're saying your targets, they're talking about, but it's the email address is not a target email address.

01:08:26.000 So pretty much some leftist drank too much Bud Light one night, wrote this email.

01:08:30.000 Sent it off and it got reported as real.

01:08:32.000 No, it's more sophisticated than that.

01:08:35.000 Because they would have had to have spoofed our email and then dropped the email.

01:08:39.000 So they would have had to have used some kind of spoofing so that it went to Cleveland 19 but used our email address instead.

01:08:47.000 Which is not a simple feat.

01:08:49.000 It's not the most complicated feat, but the average person's not going to be able to do it.

01:08:52.000 You're not some random leftist slamming a Bud Light and then doing this.

01:08:56.000 You're some hacker or someone with a general knowledge on how to spoof email addresses.

01:08:59.000 Or BCC, because I think the BCC, the blind carbon copy... We did not receive the email, meaning it never went to us, which means it was a spoof.

01:09:06.000 Unless Cleveland 19 themselves made the fake email, intentionally to get news for themselves.

01:09:11.000 Also, we just have a strange shot here, right?

01:09:13.000 It's extremely easy to just inspect Element in your browser, type in a fake email address under from, so they wouldn't even have to be able to spoof an email address, right?

01:09:21.000 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody who worked at Cleveland 19 fabricated the email.

01:09:26.000 It kind of looks like it.

01:09:29.000 The quality is really low.

01:09:32.000 This is what they published.

01:09:33.000 The quality is super low.

01:09:34.000 You can see the little outlines inside those.

01:09:37.000 That's what Shamus is saying.

01:09:39.000 It can be done very easily.

01:09:41.000 Just within the browser.

01:09:42.000 Just inspect.

01:09:43.000 Edit the text.

01:09:44.000 It looks so bad.

01:09:45.000 You can just tell.

01:09:48.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:09:49.000 Seems fake.

01:09:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:09:51.000 I mean, I have no idea who faked it or why.

01:09:53.000 Like I said, it's a very strange thing.

01:09:54.000 I'm trying to figure out the motivation, but... I mean, I think Tim's right.

01:09:58.000 I think they're just trying to make it seem that, like, we will come after you.

01:10:00.000 We will make this a thing.

01:10:02.000 Again, like literally Tim was saying a second ago, might is right to them.

01:10:05.000 They believe that the power is everything.

01:10:08.000 So having the power to then Show we will use this power is everything.

01:10:11.000 Also, sowing confusion, man.

01:10:12.000 The value of confusion.

01:10:13.000 Here's the other thing.

01:10:14.000 I tweeted that this email's not real on, I think, the 27th, and they've not done anything.

01:10:19.000 Like, CBS 19?

01:10:20.000 Cleveland?

01:10:21.000 Who's the name of this?

01:10:21.000 Yeah, and other people were like, sharing the link, being like, yo, Tim Pool's like, they don't have this email, it's not a real email, and they don't care.

01:10:27.000 That's why I'm like, I think maybe they did it.

01:10:29.000 Right.

01:10:29.000 Yeah.

01:10:30.000 Hmm.

01:10:30.000 As credence.

01:10:31.000 Or maybe there's a leftist who works there, who fabricated the email, put our name on it to generate a bunch of attention, knowing that it'll spark controversy.

01:10:38.000 Yeah.

01:10:39.000 Yeah.

01:10:40.000 Could be a two.

01:10:41.000 There you go.

01:10:42.000 I don't know, man.

01:10:43.000 But they ended up evacuating a bunch of different Target shops over it.

01:10:47.000 All those Ohio stores that they were listed on there?

01:10:50.000 No, these are Utah.

01:10:52.000 Which is very far away, which is really odd.

01:10:56.000 It's very weird.

01:10:58.000 Yeah, how far away is that Ohio place?

01:10:59.000 That's like, we're a couple hours away.

01:11:02.000 Ohio's about a five and a half hour drive from here.

01:11:05.000 Those locations.

01:11:06.000 Oh, those locations.

01:11:07.000 Yeah, the Kent, that's like where I went to college is Kent State.

01:11:09.000 That's pretty far away.

01:11:12.000 Utah is even further.

01:11:13.000 It's like at least a 22 hour drive.

01:11:15.000 So the emails that we got were different.

01:11:18.000 Kind of like the idea was similar, and it listed the name of other prominent culture war individuals.

01:11:25.000 And so I'm like, like the email thread was sent to various people and I'm like, okay, this is weird.

01:11:30.000 But I think it's it's a spoof.

01:11:32.000 It's not real.

01:11:34.000 There's some degree of sophistication.

01:11:37.000 The question is, who did it?

01:11:39.000 Was it a leftist actually targeting these stores?

01:11:41.000 That's what Occam's Razor suggests.

01:11:43.000 Was it AI?

01:11:44.000 But then here's the question, right?

01:11:45.000 Because you mentioned you did get an email that was similar but not the same as this one, so how could the news network have spoofed it if they had no idea that you got a similar email?

01:11:54.000 That's what's weird about it to me, is you did get a similar email.

01:11:58.000 They're the ones who did it?

01:11:59.000 I don't know.

01:11:59.000 Oh, they're the ones who sent you the initial email, but then why not just show the actual email?

01:12:03.000 I have no idea.

01:12:05.000 Muddling.

01:12:06.000 They're muddling.

01:12:07.000 People have muddled the conversation.

01:12:08.000 Rather than building another beer brand, we're talking about what confused us yesterday.

01:12:14.000 Fair point, dude.

01:12:15.000 That's a war tactic. 0.78

01:12:17.000 You want people turning in circles.

01:12:19.000 Someone in chat said Jesse Smollett did it.

01:12:21.000 Yeah.

01:12:22.000 All right, well, let's just hard shift into World War III now, and we'll talk about this.

01:12:27.000 We have this story from NBC News.

01:12:28.000 This is kind of crazy.

01:12:29.000 Drone strikes hit Moscow and first attack on Russian capital's residential areas since Ukraine war began.

01:12:37.000 Once again, no one knows exactly who's responsible.

01:12:40.000 Russia, of course, says it's the Kiev regime attacking civilian targets, while the West says that it's a Russian false flag intended to bolster public support for war in Russia.

01:12:51.000 Here's why I think that's less likely.

01:12:54.000 The attack was on a wealthy area of Moscow.

01:12:57.000 If you attack poor people, you generate support for war.

01:13:00.000 If you attack rich people, the rich people in the establishment elite say, like, hey, stop this.

01:13:05.000 Our wealth is being destroyed because of it.

01:13:08.000 It's also possible the idea is to attack the rich people because the rich people will then be like, we want war now!

01:13:12.000 But the rich...

01:13:14.000 People were always part of the regime, the political establishment in Russia, so they're typically in line already.

01:13:20.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:13:20.000 I mean, if the elite are going to pull off some kind of false flag, it would make much more sense for them to go after people who are lower status and don't have as much power to fight back against them.

01:13:30.000 World War III?

01:13:35.000 I think that what our entire media needs to do is speak about this as aggressively as possible without considering the consequences.

01:13:44.000 What do you mean?

01:13:45.000 No, I'm being facetious, because that's what they've been doing, right?

01:13:49.000 We were talking about this earlier, when Lindsey Graham, like a year and a half ago, got on the BBC and literally called for Putin's assassination.

01:13:57.000 I mean, people will come after figures in new media for saying something slightly offensive and say, well, these content creators just aren't responsible enough.

01:14:08.000 An American politician was on television calling for the assassination of the leader of a nation which is armed with nuclear weapons and that was just allowed to happen. 0.81

01:14:18.000 Yeah, I think it's a- I mean we've- the media and political classes rhetoric surrounding this has been insanely irresponsible.

01:14:24.000 Yeah, thank you.

01:14:25.000 Responsible.

01:14:26.000 It's important to be responsible even right now us talking about this because there's a lot of people listening and this is like sensitive.

01:14:33.000 You know, I don't think it's a false flag.

01:14:36.000 Then a dozen or so drones attacked civilians.

01:14:40.000 Drone warfare.

01:14:42.000 21st century warfare.

01:14:43.000 We see the tip of the spear right now.

01:14:45.000 Attacked civilians.

01:14:46.000 I think it makes sense that Kiev did this more so than Russia false flagged it.

01:14:50.000 Or some could have even been so independent.

01:14:52.000 If Russia was going to do it, right, trying to fan the flames of war between all factions.

01:14:57.000 But I feel like if Russia was going to do a false flag, they wouldn't target their elites and it would be more sophisticated than a few drones that failed to do any real damage.

01:14:57.000 Yeah.

01:15:04.000 Yeah.

01:15:05.000 The real issue, I think, is that Kiev wants to send terror to the civilians and destabilize public opinion.

01:15:11.000 Definitely.

01:15:12.000 I think that's what it is.

01:15:13.000 It's also, like, kind of a tit-for-tat thing, because they've been shelling different parts of, like, Ukraine as well, including, like, attacking Kiev.

01:15:19.000 I don't think it's tit-for-tat.

01:15:20.000 I think it's more so you want to force the enemy to retreat, to start... you put them on defense instead of offense.

01:15:26.000 Right.

01:15:27.000 But if this is legitimate attack, Or whether or not, even if it's not, I think we're now moving very seriously close towards a nuclear war.

01:15:35.000 Because Vladimir Putin said he would use nukes if there was an existential threat to Russia.

01:15:41.000 And now Russian civilians are being attacked.

01:15:43.000 And the United States has done nothing to promote diplomacy.

01:15:45.000 He's not going to lose that war.

01:15:48.000 He has nukes.

01:15:49.000 And he's not the kind of guy that's like, well, I would win, but I just don't want to use my nukes.

01:15:55.000 That's not how it works.

01:15:57.000 Dude, when the USSR fell, what the United States promised is that we would not expand NATO an inch eastward.

01:16:07.000 And all we have done is expand NATO eastward.

01:16:11.000 That entire time.

01:16:12.000 And I'm not saying what Putin has done is by any means good, but what I am saying is our failure to behave diplomatically on the global stage Bears some responsibility for what's happening here, right? 0.97

01:16:27.000 You can't just put this all on crazy, bad Russian man. 0.98

01:16:30.000 Dude.

01:16:31.000 The United States had a duty to behave responsibly on the foreign stage, and we consistently have not.

01:16:36.000 I remember watching, like, maybe, like, almost 10 years ago, um, I think we might have been, like, a Vice piece.

01:16:41.000 I don't remember what it was, but I was watching years and years ago, It was Putin speaking, saying, like, the West's aggressing.

01:16:47.000 The West has all these new positions outside of Russia now, and that's only born to be true now that he's actually in the situation, that we are in the situation.

01:16:54.000 It's just... Yeah, it's so weird.

01:16:57.000 It's so weird that we are finally here years and years since then, so... Do you think this is, like, a holdover of fear of, like, the Soviet Union?

01:17:06.000 Like, I'm not blaming Hillary, like, whoever, but, like, people from that generation are, like, they're actually afraid of the Soviet Union communism?

01:17:12.000 In Ukraine, many people are.

01:17:14.000 Well, I think that with this, I mean, Russia has, in the 20th century, faced, what, two up to this point, three serious existential crises, and the United States and Germany has been involved with all of them, and so NATO, which is basically the United States and Germany, starts inching closer and closer towards Russia's borders I mean, there was no sensitivity on our part in saying, okay, even if our intentions are good, let's pretend that they were and we can guarantee that our intentions were good.

01:17:45.000 Maybe we need to be very careful and sensitive about how we go about this so that a hot war between Russia and Ukraine doesn't begin.

01:17:51.000 But...

01:17:53.000 No.

01:17:54.000 We did what we did.

01:17:55.000 We mercilessly ridiculed and insulted Russia throughout the entirety of Trump's presidency because the media wanted to scapegoat somebody for Trump's election and they couldn't just directly hate on the American people because that would be bad for their optics.

01:18:08.000 Yeah, I think, if anything, that might have been born of people who were born in the era of the Cold War.

01:18:13.000 They wanted to blame Russia.

01:18:15.000 Russia seemed as if they were still the Soviet Union, when in reality it's far from the case, you know?

01:18:19.000 Well, remember back in 2012 when Mitt Romney, of course it was Mitt Romney, He said that Russia was going to be one of the primary existential threats to the United States in coming years, and everyone laughed at him, and now everyone's agreeing with him. 1.00

01:18:32.000 We should have kept laughing at him.

01:18:34.000 And I know people are saying, how could you argue that when Russia's in a hot war with Ukraine right now?

01:18:38.000 Part of the reason Russia is in a hot war with Ukraine right now is because the United States has been reckless.

01:18:45.000 There's this idea of speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

01:18:49.000 What the United States has done is we have spoken very loudly about a lot of these things.

01:18:55.000 We've spoken very inappropriately about them.

01:18:57.000 What was interesting about Donald Trump is even though to some extent he kept the peace, didn't start any new wars, Putin didn't invade while Trump was president.

01:19:05.000 He waited until there was a man with dementia in the Oval Office before he decided to invade.

01:19:12.000 When Trump was in office, there was a good argument that he made that in some sense he was He was very heavy-handed with Putin in terms of the threats he made to him, at least according to what Trump has said.

01:19:23.000 What happened was Trump knew that in order to Guarantee the peace, even though diplomacy was necessary, there were moments where harshness was also necessary.

01:19:34.000 The big red button had to work.

01:19:35.000 And there is something about that, and there is something about the fact that Biden and the left, they either have no idea where those lines are, or they just don't care.

01:19:45.000 And I suspect it's the latter.

01:19:47.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:19:50.000 Trump had the big stick, but he spoke loudly, but he had the big stick.

01:19:55.000 Biden speaks loudly, but he's got a wet noodle.

01:19:58.000 Well, I think there's truth in that, but I also think, like, it depends on how we're defining speaking loudly, because even though Trump, look, he had a lot of nerve.

01:20:08.000 He walked right into North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-un.

01:20:11.000 This is a guy who, while he was being even somewhat brash and abrasive, was still pursuing peace.

01:20:18.000 Like, even when he was loud, he was still pursuing peace.

01:20:20.000 He wanted to find a diplomatic solution to these problems.

01:20:23.000 He wasn't interested in just going around and bullying other countries.

01:20:26.000 Speaking of peace, do you remember the Kendall, I think it's Kendall Jenner ad, the Pepsi ad?

01:20:32.000 Yes, she fixed the BLM riot. 0.85

01:20:33.000 Pepsi can, goes over to the rioters, everyone's happy.

01:20:38.000 I think all this Russia talk, what we really need is we need Donald Trump, Zelensky, and Putin. 0.63

01:20:44.000 And Trump needs to deliver an ultraright can.

01:20:46.000 Is that your next commercial?

01:20:47.000 I think so.

01:20:48.000 I think we just developed that on air.

01:20:50.000 Trump delivered the ultraright beer can, and there will be peace.

01:20:54.000 Have you noticed that it's really hard to find people to work?

01:20:57.000 Yes, I have.

01:20:59.000 And I think this is the result of... So people have said that a lot of people retired.

01:21:07.000 So we have the racetrack over here, Charlestown Races, and they used to have a restaurant.

01:21:11.000 We asked them, how come there's no restaurant at the horse track anymore?

01:21:13.000 They say, we can't find anybody to work.

01:21:14.000 Everybody retired.

01:21:15.000 They say, we can't open any more poker tables.

01:21:17.000 We got no dealers.

01:21:17.000 Where'd the dealers go?

01:21:18.000 They retired.

01:21:20.000 Where are the people who are working?

01:21:21.000 They say nobody's working anymore.

01:21:23.000 The younger generation won't work.

01:21:25.000 Imagine what it's going to be like in this country in 20 years.

01:21:28.000 It's going to be bad.

01:21:28.000 My kids are going to rule the roost because they will work.

01:21:33.000 A bunch of leftists who won't work are going to show up with pitchforks and steal all their stuff.

01:21:36.000 Yeah.

01:21:37.000 Usually, you end up conscripting people.

01:21:39.000 If you have a society of uneducated or unemployed, what just leads you to desperation, which means you conscript them into the military to do some crazy, aggressive, conquering war to get the resources that you weren't producing.

01:21:51.000 These kids today are not doing any conquering of anything, to be clear.

01:21:55.000 The ones that are not working.

01:21:57.000 And it depends, right?

01:21:58.000 Because when there's a shortage of people, You can't afford war in quite the same way you look at what's happening in China.

01:22:04.000 I think that's far more concerning They had a policy of aborting young baby girls and also engaging in open infanticide and so now the men Have a lopsided ratio.

01:22:16.000 There are more men there by women, by a non-insignificant margin.

01:22:20.000 So what do we have?

01:22:21.000 We have a bunch of young men who there are no women for. 1.00

01:22:25.000 What do we do with them?

01:22:26.000 You know, the United States talks a lot, and our politicians talk a lot about the quote-unquote, like, incel problem.

01:22:32.000 They have an entire population of people for whom there literally are no women available.

01:22:36.000 And everyone knows that unmarried young men, as a demographic, are dangerous. 1.00

01:22:42.000 So, maybe you cook up a war to go send them to fight in, to cull that herd.

01:22:47.000 Maybe you tell them if you invade this other country, you can have the women there. 1.00

01:22:50.000 Yeah, it's so wild to think.

01:22:52.000 No, I'm serious.

01:22:53.000 I'm serious.

01:22:54.000 Don't think that that's not irrational.

01:22:55.000 That's what human beings... I mean, history did not end despite what the Marxist or neoconservatives would have you believe.

01:23:01.000 I think people think it's impossible. 0.99

01:23:03.000 This is dumb. 0.99

01:23:05.000 These young people that are not working are not going to go fight wars. 0.99

01:23:08.000 I'm not talking about here.

01:23:09.000 I'm talking about China.

01:23:11.000 Any of those places.

01:23:12.000 That's not happening.

01:23:15.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:23:16.000 I think China is a serious threat.

01:23:18.000 Okay, we can talk about the China thing.

01:23:20.000 It's an economic threat and they're winning that threat.

01:23:23.000 That's a whole other thing.

01:23:25.000 China doesn't want to attack us because we're their cash register. 0.97

01:23:29.000 So that's a whole other scenario.

01:23:32.000 But I think the problem, back to the young people that don't work, There's a lot of problems there, but... And that's also in China, too. 0.99

01:23:39.000 Like, they have tongping in China, which is just lying flat, which is meaning, like, you just... People just don't work. 0.89

01:23:44.000 They just don't... They literally don't work.

01:23:46.000 They just stay home.

01:23:47.000 There's also a massive problem of not only people not working, but again, so I was talking about China's demographic.

01:23:52.000 In fact, they have a large male population, which is a frightening thing.

01:23:55.000 But also, the fact that here, the massive problem we're facing, and I think one that most developed nations are going to be facing between the next 20 and 40 years, is exactly this.

01:24:03.000 We didn't populate adequate enough numbers for there to be a legitimate and well-functioning workforce and economy in the future.

01:24:14.000 I mean, my goodness, what is it, Social Security right now?

01:24:17.000 It's something like four people working for every one retiree?

01:24:21.000 I think the ratio is even worse than that at this point.

01:24:23.000 It's not just Social Security, but my point is that's indicative of a much broader problem.

01:24:28.000 It's not just lack of reproduction, which is a big factor though, it's that Gen Z and Millennials typically don't work. 1.00

01:24:33.000 They don't want to have jobs.

01:24:36.000 Look man, we've been trying to build this new facility for so long and it's insane how hard it is to find people to do any amount of work. 0.99

01:24:43.000 And by the way, these incels and all these guys that aren't getting girls and all this kind of bullshit that we hear about all the time is, if these guys like got off their ass and maybe went to the gym and stopped eating crap all the time and actually looked, there's tons of women out there that would love a decent presenting guy that's not a total dumbass sitting around playing video games all the time. 0.97

01:25:01.000 So that is a very solvable problem, but it is for a lack of trying and many other things you could get into. 0.99

01:25:12.000 And knowing.

01:25:12.000 A lot of people don't realize the value of being healthy when it comes to selecting the right diet.

01:25:16.000 I agree with that because I've been lied to by the government for decades now about health.

01:25:21.000 People think that if they can laugh and joke their way to getting a mate, it's just not.

01:25:24.000 You gotta be, I mean, you might be able to if you're the funniest guy on earth, but like, if you're not physically fit, man, good luck.

01:25:31.000 Yeah.

01:25:31.000 You gotta take care of your body.

01:25:32.000 Present.

01:25:33.000 You gotta be a protector.

01:25:34.000 And you need to have good, good genes. 0.99

01:25:37.000 And those genes can deteriorate over time if you feed them crap. 0.99

01:25:40.000 Very quickly. 0.99

01:25:42.000 Yeah, true.

01:25:43.000 It's time to have kids.

01:25:44.000 You got kids.

01:25:45.000 I do.

01:25:45.000 I have two great kids.

01:25:46.000 You are the conservative dad.

01:25:48.000 That is true.

01:25:49.000 TM.

01:25:50.000 We're trademarking it.

01:25:52.000 But yeah, I do have two great kids.

01:25:54.000 And they will work when they're older.

01:25:55.000 If I have kids now, they're going to be the age of my friend's grandkids.

01:26:01.000 Because friends that I went to high school with and stuff, they all have kids.

01:26:04.000 One of his kids is 22.

01:26:06.000 My kids will be his grandson's age.

01:26:07.000 It's so wild.

01:26:09.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:26:10.000 Yeah, no, no.

01:26:11.000 I mean, just to kind of jump onto this point, it's a both-and, right?

01:26:16.000 It's a massive issue because you're correct that a lot of young people don't want to work.

01:26:20.000 That's also compounded by the fact that there are just fewer young people.

01:26:22.000 I mean, we're not making replacement.

01:26:25.000 Things are really going to fall apart in ways... But the young people we have are still not working. 0.74

01:26:28.000 That makes it worse!

01:26:29.000 I understand, but we've got a smaller pool.

01:26:32.000 But we have a problem with the young people we have. 1.00

01:26:35.000 Right.

01:26:36.000 So we're getting rid of all the jobs young people typically work, like fast food restaurants. 0.99

01:26:40.000 We're now using robots.

01:26:42.000 You see those robots that make the cheeseburgers?

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:44.000 Now you're gone.

01:26:45.000 McDonald's is a vending machine at this point.

01:26:48.000 You strike, you're gone.

01:26:49.000 Here's the issue, though.

01:26:49.000 We need plumbers.

01:26:50.000 We need carpenters. 1.00

01:26:52.000 We need specialists.

01:26:53.000 Mechanics.

01:26:53.000 Mechanics?

01:26:54.000 Yeah, it's huge.

01:26:55.000 Nope.

01:26:55.000 I need somebody who knows how to do concrete.

01:26:58.000 Can we find him?

01:26:58.000 Nope.

01:26:59.000 Yep.

01:26:59.000 We're going on two years trying to build this building and get everything set up.

01:27:03.000 A job that normally would be done in like six weeks.

01:27:06.000 And we were going through different crews.

01:27:08.000 It's insane.

01:27:10.000 And of course everybody says the same thing like, oh we will do it.

01:27:12.000 And then they show up and say we can't find anybody.

01:27:14.000 Yep.

01:27:14.000 Yeah, man.

01:27:15.000 I remember when that pipeline was hacked about two years ago, and nobody there knew how to work the manual system, because all the people who could use it retired out.

01:27:25.000 Wow!

01:27:25.000 That's just the entire economy right now.

01:27:27.000 I think unemployment has something to do with it, because right now you're incentivized to not work.

01:27:31.000 If you're collecting unemployment, you're getting a thousand bucks a week, or every two weeks, or whatever it is.

01:27:35.000 If you get a job, you lose that thousand bucks every two weeks. 0.99

01:27:38.000 So if you're going to make $900 every two weeks at your job, you're actually making less working 40 hours, 80 hours than you are sitting on your ass. 0.99

01:27:45.000 That needs to be inverted. 0.98

01:27:46.000 You need to, firstly, this is why I like UBI, because you don't lose it when you get a job.

01:27:51.000 You shouldn't lose your unemployment when you get a job.

01:27:53.000 We just took a wild turn.

01:27:55.000 Did you say UBI?

01:27:56.000 That's part of what I like about UBI in regard, like, as a swap out for unemployment, because you don't lose your UBI when you get a job.

01:28:03.000 In fact, maybe you shouldn't get unemployment unless you have a job.

01:28:05.000 UBI would just instantly destroy the system overnight.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, it's not effective on its face.

01:28:09.000 You need to make the Joe Rogan transition on the UBI thing.

01:28:12.000 Oh, he's against it now?

01:28:13.000 Yes, he was originally for it.

01:28:14.000 He said that COVID, watching the COVID handouts, completely changed his opinion.

01:28:18.000 I was telling him!

01:28:20.000 The UBI stuff won't work!

01:28:21.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:28:24.000 He was serious.

01:28:25.000 Went into a whole thing about it.

01:28:26.000 He was like, the COVID, after seeing how the handouts and how people responded to that, he realized it will not work.

01:28:31.000 People will not work if you give them money to sit at home.

01:28:35.000 The UBI is completely insane.

01:28:37.000 Well, but there is this bizarre sort of Rousseauian appeal to man's better nature that even if he's getting money to do nothing, he's still going to go do something. 0.98

01:28:45.000 It's like, okay, well maybe he does do something and it's stupid and we don't need it and it doesn't benefit anybody. 0.93

01:28:51.000 Here's what I say to my friends. 0.99

01:28:52.000 Here, I'll ask you, Seth.

01:28:54.000 How many people do you know play guitar?

01:28:56.000 Play guitar?

01:28:58.000 Maybe a handful at most.

01:29:00.000 You only know a handful? 1.00

01:29:00.000 I mean, I probably know a lot that I don't even realize they play guitar. 1.00

01:29:04.000 Well, also, uh, Chambers, you know a lot of people who play guitar?

01:29:07.000 I know a couple people who play guitar, probably.

01:29:08.000 How many people, out of them, do you think they would want to make a living playing guitar?

01:29:12.000 Hm.

01:29:13.000 I know one that tried very hard.

01:29:16.000 Are they good enough to make a living playing guitar?

01:29:20.000 Um, he did okay.

01:29:22.000 See, I always ask this to my lefty friends.

01:29:23.000 How many people you know play the guitar?

01:29:24.000 And they'll go, I don't know, a bunch.

01:29:25.000 And I'll be like, do they want to make a living doing it?

01:29:28.000 And they're like, well yeah, they want to be rock stars.

01:29:30.000 Are they good enough?

01:29:30.000 And they go, no.

01:29:32.000 And I'm like, so if you gave them UBI, guess what they would do instead of working?

01:29:35.000 Yep.

01:29:36.000 They would just go and play the guitar.

01:29:38.000 And they're not very good at it.

01:29:41.000 100%.

01:29:41.000 That sums up everything.

01:29:42.000 Yeah.

01:29:43.000 Maybe you could do unemployment that doesn't, you don't lose it when you get a job.

01:29:47.000 Well, that's what they have right now with all this COVID stuff that they still could go work jobs and still be getting the COVID money.

01:29:53.000 They could have more or less double dipped.

01:29:55.000 And a lot of them just refuse to go work.

01:29:56.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:29:58.000 They could be doing it now.

01:30:00.000 I think Malice, Michael Malice, did someone on the show about all of this.

01:30:03.000 It was pretty interesting.

01:30:04.000 I may have the wrong person.

01:30:06.000 This is the issue.

01:30:07.000 Work does not exist.

01:30:09.000 Work is not a thing.

01:30:11.000 The idea of work is nonsense and we need to stop saying it.

01:30:16.000 When I wake up and I quote-unquote work, I'm not at work.

01:30:20.000 Like, I come in here, I read the news, and then I get feelings I want to talk about.

01:30:25.000 I read the things and I want to do it.

01:30:26.000 I do the stuff that I want to do.

01:30:30.000 These people don't want to do anything.

01:30:33.000 At all.

01:30:34.000 So to them, anything they don't want to do is work.

01:30:38.000 Yes.

01:30:39.000 The problem is, they are blank slates.

01:30:43.000 It used to be that when you were a kid, you'd watch your parents do their thing, you'd learn from them.

01:30:48.000 You know, we were driving in the car recently with some friends and uh...

01:30:51.000 Someone mentioned they used to have a dream where they wake up at school, you know, they're like, I have a dream where I'm in school naked or something.

01:30:58.000 And then we always hear people say, like, I have these weird dreams where it's like, I forgot to turn in a test, but I'm like, I'm like 35, man.

01:31:04.000 Like what?

01:31:05.000 I'm not in school anymore.

01:31:06.000 And I said, it's because human beings are not supposed to spend half their life in an institutionalized learning facility, and then overnight switch to something totally different.

01:31:17.000 So what happens is, all of your developmental years are in this machine, so now, 20 years later, you have a nightmare about forgetting a test because your body and mind have been trained and conditioned to do that.

01:31:31.000 If we grew up on farms, you'd be 15, you'd have a nightmare, you forgot to get the eggs from the chicken coop.

01:31:39.000 Then when you're 35, you wake up and go, I forgot the eggs.

01:31:41.000 Oh, I didn't forget the eggs.

01:31:43.000 It wouldn't be out of place because your life stays the same.

01:31:47.000 The issue now is, I said this 20 years ago to a friend of mine.

01:31:50.000 She told me she didn't know what she wanted to do with her life.

01:31:52.000 She was like 20 something.

01:31:54.000 She was close to finishing college.

01:31:56.000 And I was like, what were you doing when you were 13?

01:31:58.000 And she was like, hanging out with my friends.

01:32:00.000 I don't know, riding bikes.

01:32:01.000 And I said, you want to open a bar?

01:32:03.000 And she went, oh my God, that would be amazing.

01:32:05.000 And I'm like, yeah. 0.99

01:32:06.000 When you were a kid, your whole day was hanging out with your friends, shooting the shit, talking about stuff. 0.99

01:32:13.000 You want to open a bar. 1.00

01:32:14.000 Because then you can hang out all day, hang out with your friends, shooting the shit. 1.00

01:32:18.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:32:18.000 Right. 1.00

01:32:19.000 The kids who grew up to be pro baseball players, they were playing baseball when they were five years old.

01:32:22.000 Exactly.

01:32:23.000 They're 13 years old, they're playing baseball.

01:32:24.000 They're 40 years old, they're playing baseball.

01:32:27.000 It's not work.

01:32:28.000 Now here's the thing.

01:32:30.000 I still say I have to work, because I have a schedule and because I have responsibilities.

01:32:34.000 But doing this, all the stuff we do, it's not like, ugh, sorry guys, I've got an 8-11.

01:32:40.000 Well for sure, you've got to channel it into work.

01:32:46.000 Your work needs to be, if you want to do it well and be successful at it, it needs to be something that you love.

01:32:51.000 That doesn't mean you're not going to have mundane aspects of it, and that we all understand.

01:32:56.000 But overall, in general, you've got to feel like what you're doing is accomplishing something, whether it's fixing someone's car and you want to see someone roll out with a working vehicle, or you want to see someone walking home with food that magically ends up in the grocery store, those kinds of things.

01:33:10.000 You've got to have some incentive behind it, and you've got to have some actual motivation and love for what you're doing.

01:33:15.000 I think the issue is...

01:33:17.000 We institutionalized all of our children.

01:33:20.000 We took away child labor.

01:33:22.000 Child labor is a very, very good thing. 0.99

01:33:24.000 We just don't want kids in factories and in coal mines. 1.00

01:33:26.000 We want them at coffee shops and paper routes.

01:33:28.000 Exactly.

01:33:29.000 Children doing work is a good thing.

01:33:31.000 And beer factories.

01:33:32.000 That's it.

01:33:32.000 None of those things.

01:33:33.000 None of that.

01:33:34.000 But a paper route was work.

01:33:36.000 Yep.

01:33:37.000 Working at the family grocery store was work.

01:33:39.000 Working on the farm was work.

01:33:39.000 Yeah.

01:33:40.000 Walking the dog.

01:33:42.000 Walking the dogs.

01:33:43.000 My six-year-old legit asked me, I guess it was last week or the week before, he said, Dad, I want to do a lemonade stand this summer.

01:33:49.000 And if you know me, you kind of know I love hearing my six-year-old say that.

01:33:52.000 I'm also thinking, where the hell are we going to do a lemonade stand?

01:33:54.000 I was like, where are we going to do this?

01:33:55.000 Well, he names, oh, downtown.

01:33:57.000 It's an area near where we live.

01:33:58.000 Well, I was like, well, that's pretty good.

01:33:59.000 There's a lot of people there.

01:34:00.000 And he said, yeah, I'm going to sell lemonade and ultra-ripe beer.

01:34:05.000 I was like, we might have some legal issues on this.

01:34:08.000 She's a distributor, man.

01:34:09.000 I like your ambition, son.

01:34:11.000 Yeah, he's ready.

01:34:12.000 So did he fire up the lemonade stand or is that coming up?

01:34:14.000 Well, this was like a week or two ago, so they just got out of school last week.

01:34:17.000 Awesome, awesome.

01:34:18.000 We'll figure out something.

01:34:20.000 Set up a good deal?

01:34:20.000 Good deals?

01:34:21.000 Maybe cheap refills?

01:34:23.000 Yeah, I could see that.

01:34:24.000 Why don't you launch a lemonade company and you can have your kid run it? 1.00

01:34:28.000 I like the idea.

01:34:28.000 My kids do work for me and I pay them when they work for me.

01:34:32.000 I am a bit busy with beer for a lemonade company.

01:34:35.000 But you have your kid do it?

01:34:38.000 There's a lot to sourcing this much product of anything.

01:34:41.000 Shipping liquid.

01:34:43.000 I don't know how you pull that off.

01:34:45.000 A lot.

01:34:47.000 Just getting cans right now, aluminum cans that are not made by the devil, I mean, Andrew Bush, is difficult.

01:34:55.000 And finding people to work to put sleeves on the cans, by the way.

01:34:58.000 This is a perfect example.

01:34:59.000 The company that put the sleeves on our can, one of the biggest issues we had, we got all the sleeves printed, everything ready to go.

01:35:05.000 I don't have staff to do it.

01:35:06.000 I don't have staff to do it.

01:35:08.000 And that's something we ran into.

01:35:09.000 And we've kind of run into that same issue along the way at a lot of places throughout this.

01:35:15.000 But yeah, it's a lot of work, a lot of money.

01:35:17.000 We got coffee, and we want to do cold brew, because I love cold brew, that's my jam, right?

01:35:23.000 And so we've reached out to our suppliers, our distributors, our companies, and it would cost us, we would have to sell the can of cold brew per can, $5 per cold brew.

01:35:33.000 What kind of overhead is that?

01:35:35.000 That basically makes us maybe like, no profit.

01:35:40.000 What are you being told is the major cost in that?

01:35:43.000 Shipping liquid.

01:35:46.000 Well, no, but okay, but is that because, no, you should talk to me about this.

01:35:50.000 Is it, so they're saying that $5 per can, like, cause the coffee itself, like, you know, you got very minimal ingredients there, obviously.

01:35:59.000 So all this, how bulk are you looking at?

01:36:03.000 Like, so we're not going to be putting in millions of dollars to order big warehouses full.

01:36:07.000 You wouldn't have to, but like if you did a tractor-trailer loads where you really get your main discount when it comes to like aluminum cans.

01:36:14.000 So we're all online and we want to do online sales and we did all of the sourcing and everything and it would come out to like breaking even at five bucks a can.

01:36:23.000 So it's just we're avoiding it for now.

01:36:26.000 We'll talk about it later.

01:36:27.000 Yeah, I think you actually can find out that you could do this cheaper.

01:36:31.000 Dealing with coffee, you have so many more options than we are with alcohol.

01:36:35.000 So UPS is, some will ship with insert, more or less, you can over, if I summed it up, you can say UPS is really the only one that will ship alcohol.

01:36:45.000 But you can ship your coffee with USPS, as much as they suck a lot of the times, but nonetheless, you can ship your coffee with that so you can have a lot cheaper options of getting your coffee.

01:37:17.000 All right, Koldilocks Production says, Hey Tim, heads up, but Nebraska recently passed school choice and a pro-life

01:37:24.000 bill.

01:37:25.000 The state keeps getting more red.

01:37:27.000 Very interesting.

01:37:28.000 Grofty, of course, has buck buck.

01:37:29.000 Very nice.

01:37:30.000 Thanks, Grofty.

01:37:31.000 Waffle Sensei says, Tim, can we talk about Dylan Mulvaney coming out as straight?

01:37:35.000 That was an old video.

01:37:38.000 And Dylan Mulvaney was saying that trans women are women, not that Dylan Mulvaney's attracted to females.

01:37:44.000 Oh, okay.

01:37:45.000 Yeah, that's why he said, no, she will get me pregnant, because he's... I see.

01:37:50.000 First of all, it's a Borat-like bit, because he can't get pregnant, but he was saying that he's talking about trans women.

01:37:58.000 And so I went to my dad and said, I'm attracted to women, and my dad said, wow, and then I said, haha, I'm talking about trans women, Bob! 0.58

01:38:03.000 And that's the gag.

01:38:06.000 All right, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:38:08.000 says, Tim, it's unofficially official, my dude.

01:38:10.000 The Bud Light effect is now in the Urban Dictionary for all to reference.

01:38:13.000 Companies need to fear the Bud Light effect.

01:38:17.000 Well, all right, all right.

01:38:20.000 GD says, hashtag, believe all women.

01:38:21.000 Oof.

01:38:22.000 We didn't get to that.

01:38:23.000 We'll talk about that, I suppose, in the members only, the Tara Reid fleeing to Russia.

01:38:27.000 Excellent.

01:38:28.000 Gets a little adult.

01:38:29.000 Brandon Smith says, got my Appalachian Nights order today.

01:38:32.000 Excited to try it, by the way.

01:38:34.000 Southern West Virginia, better than the panhandle.

01:38:36.000 We were hanging out in Charleston.

01:38:37.000 What a great weekend that was.

01:38:39.000 Yeah, that was amazing.

01:38:40.000 We went to, um... We drove like an hour and a half into the mountains to get ice cream.

01:38:45.000 And you guys walked up a hill, like, I don't know.

01:38:47.000 We climbed a mountain.

01:38:48.000 A thousand feet up the mountain?

01:38:50.000 I don't know about a thousand.

01:38:50.000 Five hundred feet up the mountain?

01:38:52.000 Maybe five hundred feet.

01:38:53.000 You were becoming tiny specks in the distance as I was actually kind of scared was super steep and it just rained and we're really dumb so we got out of our cars in the middle of nowhere in a mountain where like the only people were on ATVs and Motorbike like dirt bikes and then we climbed up this super steep Like it's very steep.

01:39:10.000 Is it rock?

01:39:12.000 It was like dirt and gravel and that green mesh.

01:39:16.000 So in Georgia we have a place called Stone Mountain.

01:39:18.000 It's the world's largest single piece of granite that you could climb.

01:39:21.000 It's like an actual mountain.

01:39:22.000 And every year, a few people do what you just did and they hoe cheese right down. 0.98

01:39:27.000 Does not work out well.

01:39:28.000 It was just mud and grass.

01:39:30.000 For the most part.

01:39:31.000 And so, like, sliding down a little bit was fun.

01:39:35.000 The only thing bad about it was that it had just rained.

01:39:37.000 It had rained, like, several hours earlier, so it was wet.

01:39:40.000 But, uh, you know, it wasn't... we weren't mountain climbing.

01:39:43.000 We weren't, like, clinging to rocks.

01:39:44.000 We were walking up a hill.

01:39:45.000 Well, that's why it's so mad.

01:39:47.000 They close it when it rains for that reason.

01:39:49.000 Just saying.

01:39:50.000 Like, people slipping in the grass or something?

01:39:52.000 They slip and then...

01:39:54.000 Of the edge.

01:39:54.000 But there's no edge.

01:39:55.000 Oh, you don't have an- okay, I see.

01:39:56.000 No, no, it was a big hill.

01:39:58.000 Okay.

01:39:58.000 And so we just went out, walked up, and walked down.

01:39:59.000 Like, you get to the top, and you're just- it's flat.

01:40:01.000 Oh, okay.

01:40:02.000 Yeah.

01:40:02.000 But it was cool, though.

01:40:03.000 We, you know, climbed up that for no reason.

01:40:05.000 More like hills.

01:40:06.000 Noah Sanders says, Tim, I'd love to open a cast brew franchise that doubles as a comedy club at night.

01:40:11.000 Do you think there's any way to secure a liquor license with the franchise?

01:40:14.000 We can sell Seth's beer during stand-up.

01:40:16.000 Love it.

01:40:17.000 I mean, let's do it.

01:40:18.000 Let's figure out how to do it.

01:40:19.000 We're still working on the first location, and it's taking forever.

01:40:24.000 It's insane how long it takes to do anything.

01:40:26.000 Is there any process for people to start setting up franchises yet?

01:40:29.000 We can't until we have everything set up and we have... I mean, it's bonkers.

01:40:34.000 I got an email about it, so... We'll be sending at some point, I'm sure, like franchise... Dude, nobody's working.

01:40:39.000 I'm sorry, it's just, it's just, that's just it.

01:40:41.000 There's nobody working, and I've been saying over and over again, every other week, when I get angrier and angrier, because we're now two years on from this new location not being done, because nobody is working, and I'm like, do we have to drive to Home Depot and just offer people jobs?

01:40:57.000 Like, tell me what to do!

01:40:58.000 Tell me how, ask them, nobody, nobody!

01:41:01.000 It's, it's the most insane thing, I'll be like, bro, how much money you want?

01:41:03.000 Like, I don't want to work.

01:41:04.000 I as well. 0.97

01:41:04.000 I'm like, holy crap, dude. 0.97

01:41:06.000 I spent the day on the phone trying to get something done that required some manual labor and knowledge mechanic-wise. 0.95

01:41:12.000 And I mean, you know, my girlfriend can tell you, I was just in the car non-stop calling place after place.

01:41:17.000 And we don't have anybody that can do it.

01:41:18.000 We just don't have the manpower.

01:41:19.000 I mean, we literally heard that, not exaggerating, probably 30 times.

01:41:22.000 Just don't have the manpower.

01:41:24.000 No one knows how to do that anymore.

01:41:25.000 How are people living?

01:41:25.000 Don't have the manpower.

01:41:28.000 I don't know, man.

01:41:28.000 It's crazy.

01:41:29.000 I just don't get it.

01:41:30.000 With their parents on unemployment.

01:41:33.000 And not wanting to work.

01:41:35.000 They just refuse to do any work. 0.98

01:41:37.000 They're nihilistic, lazy, angry. 0.94

01:41:40.000 I'm not saying all at once. 0.95

01:41:41.000 I'm saying to varying degrees.

01:41:42.000 One person's nihilistic, one person's lazy, one person's angry, one person's ego is too big.

01:41:48.000 This work is beneath me.

01:41:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:41:51.000 Like, I will pay you whatever you want to do this job.

01:41:55.000 Just please come and do it.

01:41:56.000 I would do it myself, but I'm doing this job.

01:41:58.000 And they're like, no.

01:41:59.000 It's beneath me.

01:42:00.000 I'm like, okay. 0.95

01:42:02.000 Well, not much beneath you when you're buried in death.

01:42:04.000 You know what I've said?

01:42:05.000 We're getting really close to the point where I'm like, I'm just gonna tweet the address and tell people to show up.

01:42:08.000 Hey, that might work actually.

01:42:12.000 Here's the address.

01:42:13.000 Show up.

01:42:14.000 We want this done.

01:42:15.000 We'll provide the tools.

01:42:16.000 We've got a bunch of cashier's checks ready to go.

01:42:19.000 Just slipping them out.

01:42:20.000 We'll sign your name to it right now.

01:42:21.000 At the end of the day, don't give those out early.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, I mean, this is one of the massive problems.

01:42:26.000 There are a number of problems with this, but this is one of the massive problems with the government deciding to get involved in the economy, pick winners and losers, and say the wave of the future is going to be people being employed based on having a four to six year college degree.

01:42:38.000 So now we're going to subsidize these loans.

01:42:41.000 Not only has it trained people and pushed people into fields where there isn't as much demand as it was once speculated there would be, not only has it increased the cost of loans, but it takes people out of the workplace for four to six years as well.

01:42:53.000 Yes, totally.

01:42:54.000 It's just the weirdest thing to me that people wouldn't mind running around killing boars for three hours and then going to the quartermaster for a new quest to go kill griffins and then they're like after killing a thousand of them I've gotten enough gold to buy the forest leather boots of agility and I'm like bro get a job.

01:43:12.000 I don't understand how that... Like, you don't feel that same way when you finally acquire your new Legend of Zelda?

01:43:20.000 Like, I've gone to my quest master, my boss, and said, what tasks need be done?

01:43:25.000 And then he says, you must deliver 16 bags of french fries!

01:43:28.000 And you're like, I will do it!

01:43:29.000 And then you run around handing out french fries, and then he gives you your quest reward, and people are not...

01:43:34.000 Do you know what they have to do?

01:43:35.000 They have to put VR headsets on people that are actually just goggles, like South Park, and tell them it's a video game.

01:43:41.000 Like it is a McDonald's question.

01:43:43.000 I hate all of this.

01:43:44.000 I just want to be clear.

01:43:47.000 I was very angry at the rental car ad that doesn't have a stick shift.

01:43:50.000 I was like, it's gone too far.

01:43:53.000 I was supposed to tell my girlfriend.

01:43:54.000 She's like, you're not going to do well.

01:43:55.000 I've experienced this phenomenon where people in video games will play for a hundred hours to get the items they want in the game.

01:44:00.000 A hundred hours of their time.

01:44:02.000 Where at the same time it only costs about five hundred dollars worth of money to get the thing.

01:44:06.000 They spend a hundred hours.

01:44:07.000 If you work for a hundred hours, you're gonna have way more than five hundred dollars.

01:44:11.000 You can buy the stuff, you don't have to spend a hundred dollars.

01:44:14.000 But the idea that you don't have to play to win, you can pay to win.

01:44:18.000 And you can get a job that pays more than the amount.

01:44:21.000 Like, time is money.

01:44:22.000 You gotta understand that.

01:44:23.000 How many casinos are popping up?

01:44:25.000 That's terrifying.

01:44:26.000 Scambling in general.

01:44:27.000 So, let me tell you right now.

01:44:30.000 Near us we have Charlestown.

01:44:32.000 If we drive one hour, just one hour east, there are three.

01:44:37.000 You've got, so there's Charlestown, which is right here.

01:44:39.000 Then you've got Horseshoe in Baltimore, Maryland Live, Baltimore, MGM Grand, D.C.

01:44:46.000 If you drive an hour and a half north, you've got Hollywood Harrisburg, Hollywood York.

01:44:52.000 If you drive about two hours west, you have Rocky Gap.

01:44:57.000 I'm sorry, no, that's about an hour and a half, Rocky Gap.

01:44:59.000 If you drive two hours, you've got Lady Luck, I think it's called.

01:45:02.000 If you drive two and a half hours, if you drive one more hour past Baltimore, you've got the Delaware Racetracks.

01:45:09.000 So that's nine, and I feel like I'm probably forgetting one.

01:45:14.000 You also have Pittsburgh, which is two and a half hours from here, which has Pittsburgh Live.

01:45:18.000 Where are they getting the money to spend?

01:45:20.000 To gamble?

01:45:20.000 Three hours from here is Atlantic City, and Philadelphia Live and Rivers.

01:45:25.000 So within a few hours driving, let's just say three hours is our cap, you've probably got 15 casinos.

01:45:31.000 The craziest thing is MGM Grand.

01:45:34.000 And, well, I mean, honestly, Ann Horsey, the question always arises, everyone I talk to, they say, I don't know where these people have money.

01:45:40.000 Yeah, that's what I mean.

01:45:41.000 Bro, this is what's freaking me out.

01:45:44.000 Because I hang out at the poker tables, right?

01:45:46.000 Poker's $300 to buy in.

01:45:48.000 And you can play for all day and leave with $300.

01:45:51.000 People think poker is like, you go in there, you're like, I bet it all, and you lose right.

01:45:53.000 The game is very slow.

01:45:55.000 You get your cards for free.

01:45:57.000 Sit down at a poker table, before the big blind comes, I deal you cards, you get to play the game, you don't have to spend any money, you can pay $2 at the low stakes games, just for fun to hang out.

01:46:04.000 But I go out to the floor at MGM, one hand of say, like four card poker, it's a table game, $250.

01:46:14.000 I'm like, where does anybody have this money?

01:46:16.000 We're losing a middle class is what's happening. 0.77

01:46:18.000 Yeah.

01:46:19.000 And I think you've got people, well, I mean, there's, you know, you've got people that have a lot of money and you've got, you know, again, that gap is widening.

01:46:27.000 Yeah.

01:46:27.000 And so the people with a lot of money blowing 250 bucks or whatever it is.

01:46:31.000 I was at the grocery store and we spent about 180 bucks on all these groceries and I sat down and as I was getting into the car, the thought came into my mind, it's good to be rich.

01:46:39.000 I just thought it.

01:46:42.000 Because I just went in, swiped a piece of plastic, and got all this food.

01:46:45.000 I was like, wow.

01:46:46.000 How many people just live like that? 0.99

01:46:47.000 They're like, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and suck off the system because I happen to be one of the rich ones and not mention. 0.92

01:46:53.000 Like, where are they? 0.99

01:46:54.000 Intentionally silent.

01:46:56.000 They're intentionally camouflaging.

01:46:57.000 All these crypto wealthy people that made millions in the last 10 years.

01:47:02.000 All this new currency.

01:47:03.000 Because yeah, we have $35 trillion in American dollar debt.

01:47:06.000 All this crypto trillions.

01:47:07.000 Out of nowhere.

01:47:09.000 Yeah, out of zero two trillion, so that's another form of inflation.

01:47:12.000 They're just silent.

01:47:13.000 They don't want to get taxed on it.

01:47:14.000 They don't want the government to know they have it.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, that's a big one.

01:47:18.000 I think that before we get to the metaverse era, where people detach from reality, we'll be in the casino era.

01:47:25.000 When people don't need... Here's what'll happen.

01:47:27.000 If UBI becomes a thing, I guarantee you people will just spend all day at the casino.

01:47:32.000 They'll be like, I need 200 bucks for my food.

01:47:35.000 Casino time!

01:47:36.000 Because they got nothing else to do.

01:47:37.000 And the money's coming back anyways.

01:47:38.000 It doesn't matter if they have to work.

01:47:40.000 They know the money's guaranteed.

01:47:41.000 You'll notice in some casinos, there's a lot of retirees.

01:47:45.000 And the trope of the customer is a guy who retired who gets several hundred bucks per week or a certain portion of his budget.

01:47:53.000 He just goes to the casino.

01:47:53.000 The money's coming.

01:47:54.000 And people often say, I was reading a meme about poker, and it was like, God bless the old man who shows up and loses his money every week.

01:48:00.000 And then someone responded, I don't think you understand.

01:48:03.000 This old man just wants to hang out with you.

01:48:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:48:06.000 So you're getting their pension money, but that's what people are going to turn into.

01:48:06.000 100%.

01:48:11.000 When they no longer have to work, when food is abundant, when everything's automated, they're going to go gamble.

01:48:17.000 That is depressing.

01:48:21.000 I'm not arguing with you.

01:48:22.000 I'm just saying it's depressing.

01:48:23.000 It is insane how many casinos there are just everywhere popping up.

01:48:28.000 It's like if you live in, if you live north of DC, you're within 45 minutes of three major casinos.

01:48:35.000 Not only that, look at online gambling, too.

01:48:37.000 Online gambling has been exploding.

01:48:39.000 Yeah, that's also true.

01:48:40.000 It's massive right now.

01:48:41.000 And there's really weird online gambling, too, where it's like... Have you seen the Plinko one?

01:48:46.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:48:47.000 Plinko is like the Japanese... Is that right? 1.00

01:48:50.000 It's a pyramid-shaped pegs.

01:48:52.000 And you bet money.

01:48:52.000 The money falls down.

01:48:54.000 And if it hits the far sides, it multiplies the money by huge numbers.

01:48:58.000 It lands in the middle.

01:48:59.000 It's like times one or times half.

01:49:02.000 People are playing weird gambling games online.

01:49:04.000 They have nothing to do.

01:49:05.000 But my question is like, where do any of these people get money from?

01:49:07.000 Like, I just don't- I don't know, man.

01:49:09.000 Don't get it.

01:49:10.000 Dude, I do not understand this.

01:49:11.000 I go to the casino and I'll bet the crab stables a guy with 10 grand sitting there.

01:49:14.000 I'm like, what is, what does he do?

01:49:17.000 Like, that's crazy to me.

01:49:18.000 And some people always say like, oh, well, maybe it's just credit or they shouldn't be gambling the money.

01:49:24.000 And then I'm like, if that were true, I would all, I would not also be asking where are the people who are, who are like, where are the workers?

01:49:31.000 Are they all just homeless?

01:49:32.000 None of these people want jobs?

01:49:34.000 Who knows?

01:49:34.000 No, I don't know, man.

01:49:35.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:49:38.000 Gabriel Lopez says, sorry to inform, they won't go broke.

01:49:40.000 Corporations don't need customers in our fiat system.

01:49:43.000 They have a good CEI score and BlackRock Fed will give them infinite free money with zero interest and they will weather the storm.

01:49:50.000 They can only go broke if they don't go woke.

01:49:52.000 He probably meant DEI score.

01:49:53.000 He said CEI.

01:49:54.000 Oh yeah, DEI.

01:49:55.000 He said CEI.

01:49:56.000 Where are they getting the money?

01:49:56.000 That's part of it.

01:49:57.000 Well, it's fiat.

01:49:59.000 Ten times what you have.

01:49:59.000 Here's a good one.

01:50:00.000 Drew outstanding in fields as an honor of the fallen.

01:50:03.000 I'm matching all superchats about Memorial Day up to $1,000 on this episode.

01:50:08.000 Giving to a veteran org that supports children of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.

01:50:13.000 Retired Army Sergeant.

01:50:15.000 All gave some, some gave all.

01:50:17.000 It's the least I can do.

01:50:19.000 That's really amazing, dude.

01:50:20.000 I really do appreciate that.

01:50:21.000 So, I think to clarify what you're saying is, for people who make Memorial Day superchats here, you will donate to a charity supporting the children of veterans?

01:50:29.000 You're legit, Drew.

01:50:30.000 Yeah.

01:50:31.000 Thanks, dude.

01:50:33.000 KidTrux says, hey, did you guys hear about the bus driver who got fired from Charlotte Area Transit System when a passenger pulled a gun on him and he defended himself?

01:50:39.000 They fired him because they have a no-weapons policy. 0.97

01:50:43.000 Guess they think you should just get shot.

01:50:44.000 Well, there was the guy in the parking garage who got shot twice, wrestled the gun away from the guy, and then shot in self-defense, and then they were like, you're under arrest.

01:50:52.000 These people need to be in jail. 0.58

01:50:53.000 Gotta get these dangerous people off the streets, Tim!

01:50:55.000 Where was that?

01:50:56.000 Was that a New York thing?

01:50:57.000 I think that was a New York thing.

01:50:58.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:50:59.000 These prosecutors should be in jail.

01:51:01.000 They should absolutely be in jail.

01:51:02.000 Absolutely.

01:51:02.000 100%.

01:51:02.000 Incredibly.

01:51:03.000 Plug, man. 0.98

01:51:04.000 When you've got Christians on TV, like, denouncing their faith, I don't think... Oh, I know they're not going to jail.

01:51:11.000 I just said they should be.

01:51:12.000 Well, to be fair, denouncing your faith is one of the requirements to being a Christian on TV. 0.90

01:51:17.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:51:20.000 What do we got?

01:51:20.000 Crooked Smiles says, I remember a campaign in another country with the Burger King mascot sharing a passionate kiss with Ronald McDonald.

01:51:26.000 It was ridiculous. 0.94

01:51:26.000 Wait, what? 0.94

01:51:27.000 Oh, the Burger King guy?

01:51:28.000 Wait a minute.

01:51:29.000 Are you talking about the Hamburglar?

01:51:31.000 No, that's McDonald's.

01:51:32.000 Oh, the King.

01:51:32.000 Yeah, the King.

01:51:34.000 The Burger King.

01:51:35.000 The Burger King. 0.99

01:51:36.000 That was a really dumb idea. 0.99

01:51:38.000 Let's make our mascot a king who runs around! 0.99

01:51:40.000 Dude, he's horrifying.

01:51:42.000 He is, he is.

01:51:43.000 Legitimately terrifying.

01:51:45.000 It's also quite horrifying about, uh, The Mayor McCheese's head is made of dead cow meat.

01:51:51.000 That's wild.

01:51:53.000 His head is a cheese. 0.98

01:51:54.000 He's like a bizarre Frankenstein's monster, man. 0.99

01:51:55.000 Oh, the king.

01:51:57.000 Joel Dross says, Tim is wrong about Chick-fil-A.

01:52:00.000 He is BSing to stay in the argument.

01:52:02.000 It's a safer place to take your kids, and it is slammed with moms Monday through Friday. 1.00

01:52:06.000 I did not say it was not safe.

01:52:07.000 I did not say that it wasn't slammed with moms. 0.68

01:52:12.000 So what am I talking about?

01:52:13.000 Stop BSing to stay in the conversation.

01:52:14.000 He's saying I'm wrong about my experience in the drive-thru being overloaded.

01:52:19.000 Dude, there's no argument.

01:52:20.000 The drive-thru at Chick-fil-A is always full.

01:52:22.000 Whether or not you're okay with it and you've had a good experience is different from my experience.

01:52:26.000 My experience with Taco Bell is I'm in and out.

01:52:28.000 My experience with Chick-fil-A is it's a huge line and we wait a long time.

01:52:32.000 Do you think that's an issue of their popularity?

01:52:34.000 Do you think it's possible that a company just having a DEI department isn't necessarily a bad thing?

01:52:39.000 No, it is.

01:52:40.000 Yeah, it is.

01:52:40.000 They're never gonna use that for good.

01:52:42.000 It would be like if they opened, like, imagine if Taco Bell said, announcing the chief Chinese Communist Party officer.

01:52:49.000 There's no difference.

01:52:51.000 You'd be like, what?

01:52:51.000 None.

01:52:53.000 Yeah, if you remember Korea, when they found out that their Prime Minister had an involvement with, I think it was Prime Minister Moon had involvement with some kind of cult.

01:53:00.000 This is like 2020, I think.

01:53:02.000 Korea freaked out.

01:53:04.000 They had thousands of people in the streets.

01:53:05.000 I don't think anyone remembers that, but that was because of the fact that like this, and there's a difference to the Prime Minister, but they had this person in Seoul that was not part of the Korean government.

01:53:14.000 It wasn't part of like anything like that.

01:53:15.000 It's an ulterior motive in your government, and it's similar to that, you know?

01:53:21.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:53:21.000 First I've heard of that.

01:53:22.000 Yeah.

01:53:24.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:53:27.000 Stinky Fingertip says that baseball player is a Toronto, Canada.

01:53:31.000 I don't know their hate speech laws, but he may have been facing fines or even jail time, not just his salary.

01:53:38.000 Oh, man.

01:53:39.000 You know, humans are so disappointing sometimes.

01:53:44.000 I kind of just have this... You know, it's my fault, really.

01:53:47.000 It's my fault growing up in America, at a time when we thought highly of our founding fathers for being strong, moral figures who believed in individual responsibility, personal liberties.

01:53:59.000 It's my fault for believing those things should be inherent in people.

01:54:04.000 Because, in fact, it was a fluke.

01:54:07.000 This country is a rarity, is it an oddity, that people would defy the established order to take command and take control.

01:54:16.000 You know what I think it is?

01:54:18.000 You had this big city, you had this big country, you had London, you had these European cities, and people were like, I don't want to live this way.

01:54:23.000 Isn't it really funny?

01:54:24.000 Religious persecution.

01:54:25.000 So they said, we're going to leave.

01:54:27.000 I would rather risk dying over the oceans I would rather land on barren shores than live with these people. 1.00

01:54:39.000 And they did!

01:54:40.000 And then those people had kids, and taught those kids, and those people had kids, and taught those kids, and then you had a small country where they were basically all thinking the same thing.

01:54:47.000 Get the F away from me! 1.00

01:54:49.000 So they severed ties.

01:54:51.000 Now, after hundreds of years later, we have been demoralized and broken down into lazy, vapid individuals, and here's what I wonder.

01:55:01.000 Is it just going to take another American colonial movement?

01:55:05.000 Do a bunch of people just say, I'm moving to El Salvador?

01:55:08.000 I think what you just described is a great quote.

01:55:10.000 Y'all probably talked about it on the show before.

01:55:12.000 But it's, hard times create strong men.

01:55:15.000 You know where I'm going.

01:55:16.000 Strong men create good times.

01:55:17.000 Good times create weak men.

01:55:19.000 And weak men create hard times.

01:55:21.000 I think we're literally witnessing that.

01:55:24.000 You know, Peter... But it's also spiraling downward.

01:55:27.000 Yeah, Peter Adia said that it's only recently that things have begun to fall apart and it has a lot to do with the food pyramid, this business plan that the American government was involved in creating and pushing on people as propaganda to make them think that that's what they're supposed to be eating, empty carbs.

01:55:43.000 It's criminal.

01:55:45.000 The entire food pyramid, everything the government puts... I've lost my mind many times reading government guidelines, quote-unquote, about food and health.

01:55:53.000 It's literally, generally you could just do the opposite of everything they're telling you.

01:55:57.000 I mean, they got the man in the dress, like, telling you how to eat, how to be healthy, and he's also overweight.

01:56:03.000 He's clearly a very healthy guy, right?

01:56:05.000 And they're telling you this is what you need to do to get healthy.

01:56:07.000 I'll do the opposite, it's been working great.

01:56:09.000 I wonder if the answer is doing what the founding fathers and our ancestors did, and straight up get on a boat and go build your own place.

01:56:20.000 We'll talk about some of the ways in which Reagan was overrated, but one thing he said which is dead honest, there's nowhere else to go.

01:56:27.000 El Salvador.

01:56:28.000 We're gonna go build El Salvador? 0.98

01:56:28.000 El Salvador? 0.98

01:56:29.000 I think there will be a human revolution on Mars when we start populating another planet, which, you know, maybe it seems fantastical now, but it will happen.

01:56:36.000 And when it does, there will be a revolution on that planet and they will take control of their government the way that Americans did. 0.96

01:56:41.000 Wow, the expanse.

01:56:42.000 That's what that's about.

01:56:43.000 Basically, in the show, you've got, uh, Mars was a colony, but it was heavily militaristic because of the way you had to live to survive, and then they basically break off and form their own country or whatever.

01:56:53.000 Ironically, that's like, and maybe people don't know about this, but that's in Gundam, too.

01:56:56.000 The same thing happens.

01:56:57.000 Mars Alliance is basically very militaristic because of how hard life was, and then they would attack Earth in their story.

01:57:03.000 It makes sense.

01:57:04.000 It does, yeah.

01:57:05.000 If we were gonna have a colony on Mars, it would require, like, intense discipline, obedience, and governmental support.

01:57:12.000 So you would have a full military function to everything.

01:57:18.000 Yeah, they would not tolerate BS, especially if they need those resources.

01:57:21.000 No, no way.

01:57:21.000 Could be that we colonize the ocean, that we build islands and colonize the ocean.

01:57:25.000 Oh that's interesting.

01:57:26.000 Did you ever see, oh my gosh, years ago there was this plan for a massive floating tax shelter island that people would finance to go live on.

01:57:35.000 Oh man, it was an incredible pipe dream.

01:57:38.000 OMG Puppy says Santa Claus was at the Council of Nicaea and he punched one of the other bishops. 0.77

01:57:44.000 He punched a heretic, he punched an Aryan heretic. 0.92

01:57:46.000 So just know he is checking that list twice, alright? 0.69

01:57:48.000 So did he steal his sled from the Romans?

01:57:50.000 Parasites go on the naughty list! 0.99

01:57:53.000 He punched one of the other bishops. 0.98

01:57:57.000 Wow, Santa Claus sounds based.

01:57:59.000 Yeah, I love that guy.

01:58:01.000 Yeah, he seems like a good guy.

01:58:02.000 I mean, he's going around giving presents away.

01:58:04.000 Yeah, hit Arius.

01:58:06.000 Just clocked him.

01:58:07.000 That's a legend.

01:58:08.000 And we hope, you know... He's got a mean right hook.

01:58:15.000 Let's grab some more super chats.

01:58:18.000 Where are we at?

01:58:21.000 Sparky says, Newsflash, Russia is no longer communist.

01:58:24.000 Interesting.

01:58:24.000 Yeah, really.

01:58:25.000 Whoa, didn't know that.

01:58:28.000 All right, we get a couple more in here.

01:58:32.000 Seth Klein says, Recently unemployed and looking for work.

01:58:35.000 Not sure if I could help with anything.

01:58:37.000 We are very close to Me just tweeting out the- I'm not even kidding.

01:58:43.000 Like, I've already said several times, if we don't get someone, I'm literally just gonna tweet the address and then we'll set up, like, a job fair.

01:58:50.000 Okay.

01:58:50.000 Like here, here's what we're looking for.

01:58:53.000 Here's the address.

01:58:53.000 See ya.

01:58:54.000 Here's the time.

01:58:56.000 The toughest thing is though, is a lot of these things require some level of skill, like, you know, like someone's got to show up who knows concrete.

01:59:03.000 So we can get the concrete done.

01:59:04.000 Someone's got to show up who knows wiring to get the wiring done.

01:59:06.000 But every time we hire a new company, the same thing happens.

01:59:10.000 They're like, we can't find people.

01:59:11.000 Yep.

01:59:12.000 Nobody wants to work.

01:59:14.000 Wow.

01:59:15.000 Add to that the homeless crisis and the illegal immigration crisis and we're done.

01:59:23.000 There's an unprecedented extraction happening on this country right now. 0.91

01:59:28.000 But have you considered that that hurts my feelings and you're mean?

01:59:32.000 Maybe we need more mean tweets.

01:59:34.000 Maybe the mean tweets were the thing that actually made it work.

01:59:37.000 They were fun!

01:59:42.000 Let's see where we're at.

01:59:47.000 Guitar Maker says, I was blessed enough, talented enough, and lucky enough to have made my living playing guitar.

01:59:52.000 Now I'm retired from the stage and make guitars as a hobby.

01:59:55.000 Oh, nice.

01:59:56.000 Very cool.

01:59:58.000 Kurt Ansom says, since McDonald's is going fully automated, could you do the same?

02:00:02.000 Just program a less beta version of Ian.

02:00:05.000 We spend more time- I don't think you can get less beta than me.

02:00:08.000 Yeah.

02:00:09.000 Sorry to interrupt you.

02:00:10.000 So I- Was there more to that?

02:00:13.000 They said, uh...

02:00:15.000 We spend more time shutting down the pseudo-hippie than he brings up Val- I don't-

02:00:21.000 You spend more time shutting- I actually like your hippie side, just to be clear.

02:00:25.000 We- I bought something called, uh, I bought some all-natural hippie deodorant that's made of, like, carnauba wax and, like, fragrance and stuff, and one of the scents was dragon's blood, and I opened it up and it smells like your bedroom.

02:00:40.000 I have no clue.

02:00:42.000 Bring it over.

02:00:43.000 No, it's like the incense that he burns.

02:00:44.000 Oh, Nag Champa. 0.99

02:00:46.000 I wasn't talking about his dirty laundry.

02:00:47.000 I don't know.

02:00:48.000 Yeah, I wasn't sure what it was.

02:00:49.000 Or were you?

02:00:50.000 I don't want to know. 1.00

02:00:50.000 It's like whatever that weird hippie garbage he's always burning or something. 1.00

02:00:53.000 It's the incense. 0.99

02:00:55.000 Okay, that's fair.

02:00:56.000 It's patchouli or something.

02:00:57.000 It's my fine fragrance.

02:00:58.000 The thing about dragon's blood is it keeps dragons away.

02:01:00.000 Oh, there is an incense.

02:01:01.000 It scares them.

02:01:02.000 The smell, they can't stand it.

02:01:03.000 There's an incense called dragon's blood.

02:01:04.000 I haven't burned that one.

02:01:05.000 That's probably what it is.

02:01:06.000 I haven't burned that one before.

02:01:07.000 It's Nag Champa. 1.00

02:02:11.000 I haven't heard either of those, so maybe that's what you're smelling.

02:02:13.000 I don't know.
