A highlight from Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming! | Mass Effect Teaser Trailers | Legend of Zelda movie | Spiderman is Spiderman #424
"We're live, what's up everybody this is Karrick with ACG and I'm here with Abzi4, the best gaming podcast number... four, two, four, four hundred and twenty four man. How many have you been on? How many podcasts have you been on? Probably. Do you mean like since I became a co -host? Yeah, since you started. Even if you had the old ones. Or the Patreon? Because you were on a bunch in the first, you know, you jumped in. I remember back in 2018 we did a bunch of, we did game awards and shit. We did a bunch of, you know, events and stuff like that. We did a bunch of E3s. I hopped on a bunch of, a couple internationals. The first one I ever did was just a Patreon one, which was really fun. That's when I, do you realize, there's two games I always talk about and it's Near and Those two games were recommended by you in that first Patreon podcast. That's how I found out about them. That's how long you've been doing them? They were in the original Patreon podcast? They're in the original Patreon podcast and then, yeah, before I became a co -host, yeah, I feel like I come on like twenty, thirty times or something and then ever since then it's been every week, right? Yeah, I think you were on probably the most out of, you know, like the people who come on and join. I think you were on the most before and that you and Johnny was on quite a bit, which is why we, I was like a regular, you know, just like coming in sometimes and yep, coming in hot. What's up? Everybody in chat? People are asking about the ads. Are they real? No, those are, I mean, manscraper. Come on, man. Come on, bro. Those ain't real. That would be, that would be ridiculous. Well, you know what? These days. Josh L, $2 Super Chat. Will Gilf Island have microtransactions? Yeah. See, if you know that sometimes YouTubers make games, if I made a game, it would be Gilf Island and it would be a point and click like Leisure Suit Larry, but with just grandmothers, just hockey island, but like Monkey Island, but half Gilf Hot Gilf's. Yeah, be Gilf Island. What's the, so, so do you have like a distinction between Gilf and, and Cougar or, yeah, see, that's, that's the thing. I personally, I think Cougar's just replaced the number of kids you may have had. So Cougar doesn't matter if you've had kids where Gilf is like grandmother, you know. You have to be a grandmother. Yeah. You have to be a grandmother. So even if you were like a 40 year old grandmother, you'd be a Gilf. You would be a Gilf. Yeah. Technically. But again, we're changing all the slang. So who knows? If there's like an 18 year old with a, with a, that has a son or a daughter, she'd be a MILF. That doesn't sit well. She would. It doesn't sit well. It doesn't sit well. It does. It doesn't sit well when you look at like how we've changed. Like the way we. MILF has to be at least 40, you know. Yeah, right. Exactly. Because at some point you're getting into, well, not into creep zone, especially if you're 20 and that person's 20, but it's still, it's a little weird. Right. Yeah. Sup everybody. Thank you for joining us. We're going to be talking about GTA 6 and the announcement of an announcement. I got to tell you, I just did this on Twitter. I just said, okay. Cause they said, you know, we're, we're happy to announce that at some point we'll have an announcement. And I was just like, come on guys. Do you think they're going to do in game awards? They never do that. They don't. They don't. Rockstar doesn't want to share the rock, rockstar is big enough to not share the limelight with E3. Yeah. They could literally just release a YouTube video and it'll be good, man. Right. Yeah. So I don't know, but it could be, it would be a big get for the game awards to have the big first ever get for the game awards, not for rockstar. They don't need that publicity. Exactly. No. In fact, it would be in a way worse because I know a lot of people who aren't going to watch and aren't interested at all in the game awards. So it's like, you know, there'll be parsing out. We even do that sometimes where we parse out trailers after an event. Yeah. So, yeah. But I mean, they said there was going to be an announcement of announcement what for the last six months we've seen leaked data on it. What did you think? Have you seen some of the leaked, um, like our footage? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She has a fucking ass joy dude. I noticed that as well, I was like that's that's a interrupt those pain. Those pants are tight. Yeah. That's all I got from that. But. That's all you got. Not yet. It's not that I didn't. All I saw was like the Ba -Donca game over there. Like I didn't I didn't really. You know, I didn't really want to look at too many leaks. Yeah. Right? On why I just just went on. Um, it was just a game in progress. Like, didn't they go after a leaker? Probably, yeah, yeah, they did. Actually, they did. They did. But you know, with Rockstar, especially, you know that it's like a spoiler for a trailer, you know what I mean? Yeah, you know, like it's, it's just, it's, it's a Rockstar game, dude. It's, you know, doesn't happen that many. Yeah, you don't want to really, um, we'll put the GTA five thing there. Well, um, I think overall, I don't really want to see too much because like we were talking earlier, I asked everybody what they wanted to see from GTA five or GTA six. And dude, I would never want to be a developer. The ideas that everybody came up with were so cross in cahoots, like they wouldn't work together, you know, people saying I want a four by somebody else said I wanted a strategy. Somebody else said I want Anarchy and a deep characterization. The other person said I want deep customization and no, I want to be the character which I get both of those. I understand both of those sides, but it was I was reading it just going, dude, seriously, if you were a dev and you were reading the thought process on that, you'd be like, we're fucked. No one. Dude, imagine, man, being a dev must suck ass because your customers are gamers, man. Yeah, it's got to be the worst. It's got to be rough because they're and there are gamers who are embedded in GTA to the point of being like, yeah. Okay. For example, we had a big discussion yesterday. I said every announcements been about two years, so they show it and then they announce it and I said one of the reasons why I thought this would make sense for another two years is because they've got to tell people quit buying shit in GTA 4 or GTA 5. Sorry. They've got to do the thing where they don't say it, but they're like just so, you know, GTA 6 is coming. So you might want to not spend a hundred K and GTA 5 and shark cards, but it's like I don't quite know, you know, how they're going to handle that how they're going to say online. Did they release something new for shark tard shark tards? Sorry shark cards. I don't know. I don't know. I cuz oh, go ahead. I don't know. I don't know if you'd agree with me on this. So it'd be nice obviously to like transfer stuff, you know what I mean? Yep, but at the same time dude, it's a new game and you already this is the game you chose to spend. It's like, you know, I mean, it's a the games are not like a year apart. You know what I mean? They're like they're like what like 10 years apart, right? It's just a whole new. I mean, I don't see, you know, if they if they were like, hey, we noticed that your account had like this character with that much shit and you know, we're going to give you a little booster going to give you some stuff that be cool for them, but I'm at the same time. I'd be I mean, I haven't paid much, you know, I don't I wonder what how they would feel but I feel like, you know, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were just like, yeah, this is just a new game start start from scratch, right? I don't know if you'd agree with that or not. Yeah, I think it's diminishing. They'll do a diminishing refund where they're like if you had a hundred thousand you get a thousand if you had a million points of things bought you get five thousand, you know, they'll be a percentage maybe but that's why I think the two years make sense. You announce it now you got two years and you're really telling people behind the scenes. Hey, listen, man in two years GTA 6 is going to be at but GTA 5 isn't going to go away. It didn't go away with red. It's not thank God. But yeah, and gta4 didn't go away and gta4 didn't go away. I mean, well, I don't know what there is in GTA. Is there even an online though and gta4 fucking okay. Yeah, I don't think there is but I don't think what gta5 they would close it down. I just think they'll yeah, they might have a diminishing, you know, return kind of thing where they look at a percentage. Yeah, because otherwise dude, it's a lot the Shrike $5 stupid. I just lost my left bullet using my lawnmower to shave my nuts lawyers details, please. Oh for the for the man scraper commercial. Yeah, I think when you look at like GTA 6 man, what I want to see is want to see a larger world in size a bigger city and then bigger out of bounds. I don't need three cities. People are talking about multiple cities. I don't think it needs to be just cause either. I just wouldn't like to because GTA 5 is good, but you can cover GTA 5 pretty quick. I did the walk in the walk and you can walk to one edge the other pretty quickly not quickly and like, you know what I mean in game, you know, sure. Yeah, it's not eight hours. What are you what I'm wondering about as well. Well, it's always Rockstar there, you know, they're going to like push the push it even more. But what I was wondering I always wonder about this Red Dead. They were able to do what they did with the Red Dead because it's not a fully developed world. So every single NPC you me has his own scripting and and you can talk to them and they react and there's so much detail in that and then like encounters that might happen. Now. I'm sure encounters can definitely happen and GTA but I wonder I wonder if they're going to hate have scripting for every sink dude, like there's no way right like it's super populated. I get it's a city. There's no way they're going to script maybe they're going to do some crazy tech voodoo smart shit where they do some like AI scripting, you know, what I mean or something like that, but I don't see them, you know, but but it'd be it'd be awesome man. If GTA on the scale that it is had the same type of detail and and and density has read that that'd be that be insane man. And I always wonder about that. Like like what what direction maybe they're just too completely there two completely different games going two completely different routes, you know what I mean? So I don't know. I mean, it'll be the first ones based on SSD and NVMe. Yeah, so my personal opinion is they'll do a lot of loading behind the scenes NPCs. They'll do what Ubisoft does where they you know, they sample less scripting for the farther out the end of the guy is and so you're up close guys. There is a lot going on but looking at the footage here. There's a lot of places in GTA 5 where there isn't a ton of traffic and people and then depending on the time frame depending on the city. There is a lot I think they can probably do something that's very close to Red Dead plus a lot of cheats. They're going to have a ton of cheats. Yeah, 100 percent Legion had a ton of really good despite anybody's love or hate for Watchdogs Legion. If you watch their GDCs, they had some really smart ways of basically having one person sort of running a group of people and and it was like using their senses instead of everybody's and then informing others and sort of like fear did with its with its AI and stuff. I mean, I'm sure they're going to be able to work it out. It is over. They'll definitely have some cool stuff because of the new consoles. I mean base PS5 base Xbox series S and X they can do a lot with those is this so Red Dead came out 2018. That was almost that was like towards the end of the console life cycle. I believe now we're in the middle of it and it's interesting because even GTA GTA was at the very very they pushed the shit out of those systems. Remember Xbox 360 PS 3 like that was at the very very end the cusp. So it's interesting. This is going to be the first well, maybe I don't know how they usually they announce a game and then and then release it like a couple months later, right? So I'm assuming that it's going to be released 2024. Well, all GTA's have had two years exactly after announcement. Yeah, I looked my spot. Yeah. Yeah. They delayed GTA 5 by a couple months, but it was okay. Yeah, they so for with like two years to your two years two years and GTA I think for that probably makes sense because it also gives you some room to sort of identify where you are. Also, if you look at the alphas, dude, they're not very good. So we're seeing footage that I assume is somewhat current when people leak it. Yeah, that's got a long ways to go and a long ways in Rockstar terms, of course, is different than everybody else, but they could do it at the end of 2024. But I think more like or sorry, starting in 2025, the end of 2024, but I think it'll be probably end of 2025 or 2026. How Red Dead was released a couple months after, right? Right. A couple months after what? The announcement. Yeah, see that one I didn't track because Red Dead was, Red Dead was leaked many years prior. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. I mean, we've all we and we knew just we know about GTA 6 until today. They didn't announce it, but we knew it was being made too. So it is. And we knew GTA 4 was being made. I'm thinking of the deep dive trailers, you know, when they when they like when they released the Red Dead deep dive. Yeah. When they did like the 20 minute or 30 minute, like this is the game mechanics this way, you'd be that that was close to release. So maybe maybe they did like a teaser way before for sure. I mean, I'm excited whenever it could come out tomorrow and I would play it, it come out in two years and I could play it come out four years and I play it. I do also think that they've talked about not punching down in humor and all that stuff, which I think is really weird because that's sort of that's sort of what it's known for and why I think a lot of people there's a little bit of like cathartic kind of, you know, just like some of the stuff you would never say, but these characters say and so you find it funny like a comedian who's edgy or what we know for sure. Yeah, so I want to see how they're going to handle that how they're going to handle characterization of those two characters. Sicilian Gamer, $5 Super Chat thoughts on Boogie documentary. He spent $200 on prostitutes instead of his mortgage. Oh, God. What is Boogie? Boogie has been on a spiral since who's for a while now. Is Boogie the fat guy? He's heavyset and he did a lot of Xbox stuff. He did. I think he had like he was one guy from Xbox come over. Yeah. It was known for his like character that likes to drink a lot of I think Mountain Dew as you drink Mountain Dew. Francis. Francis. Flipping up the table thing. That shit, that shit. But then he went into like this whole rabbit hole of depression and I don't know. I think he's mentally unwell or something. So yeah, I don't know what's going on with that. Yeah. I personally would just say I don't like documentaries on people anyway, like everybody's personal life like everybody loves to pretend they're perfect in the real world. No one is. For sure. Never met anybody in my life and I mean that's what I did for you. Instagram filters. Instagram filter of life, right? So it's like I just don't care and I would never watch it like. You know there are like full on studios that would that would like that's where like there's full on studios and I know that like some of my some I have like friends who are Instagram like you know e -girls and shit and they tell me like they take they take a picture in Instagram like they're on they're in a private jet or like on the boat with that's all fake. Yeah, it's all that's all fake. Yeah. Yeah, it's all fake. It's it's yeah. Yeah here there's a guy who rents out his jet for Instagram models. So he'll rent out the jet. Yeah, they're coming to the tarmac take photos. Yeah. Yeah, and literally literally there's there's a lot of a lot of jet owners or speedboat owners or boats or yachts or whatever they say people just want to go there take videos with them. Like like fucking opening champagne and shit and ruining dirtying up their whole oh God the world. Yeah, I hate it. Number one says Red Dead 2 reveal was also two years prior to release. So yeah, you were probably thinking of those deep dives. I don't track that too much. I only do with GTA.

Fresh "Pant" from Stephanie Miller
"And they have as crisp as crisp points have zero experience right right right uh okay uh by the way so i mentioned this earlier speaking of attacks trump has set his on sights the wife of the new york supreme court justice presiding over his fraud trial he shared at least four links against uh links about justice angoran's wife um and by the way the angerons have not confirmed ownership the of social media account or any connection to the post so we don't even know if and if they are real i i guess they don't have free speech only donald trump has free speech but i mean i don't know what you think carlos is going to happen gag order ruling but i just i don't know how long we're going to wait until somebody gets killed hundreds of messages and death threats that they've got these horribly racist anti -semitic homophobic you name it every kind of horrible uh threat to you know everyone to that donald trump is targeted yeah he doesn't care it's all about saving him he she could see milania at the at the service for rosalyn carter's like please let this take service a lot of hours please please can somebody else come up and speak how about order how about this one lawyers for trump are trying to undermine mike mike pence's credibility by suggesting he may be in cahoots with biden administration prosecutors attorney suggested pence may have felt incentivized to turn on trump because of leverage held over him by government prosecutors investigating his handling of classified documents what it first of all there's no there there just like with biden they it was inadvertent they alerted the stories they gave them back they're i mean this is just and and we find out that biden or excuse me pence is just a spineless a weasel as we thought he was oh all he absolutely was not going to preside over the electoral count vote because he's a good one hurt my friend and the questions and to move on to it he became what's -his -name on meant to be this morning who talked him into it what's that is read this morning who talked him into to his son his son his marine son i was gonna say dan quinn no his marine son said i took an oath to the constitution and so did you yeah yeah come on dad so much for mike pence did the right thing and mike pence is a patriot no he's not he did everything he could his son did the right thing called dan quayles anyway i can order to do it yeah if he there thought was any way he could legally overturn the election he would have done it right yeah can you banana peel the on the stairs and maybe i'll trip on the stairs they're just such a good finally knock that fly off my hair someone needs to write a book about this the era this era of the republican party just called profiles and cowardice all of them yeah by the way my mic that sounded like a drunk adam west right me pardon i said by the way my mic pants sounded like a drunk adam west well i mean slip on a banana peel and get that fly off my holy moly robin kevin in dc you're on with carlos good morning everybody uh uh... fond memories adam west my first batman yes we all remember our first uh... uh... yes let's just try to erase that whole ben affleck thing yeah you know welcome back carlos and i can't the that here we are again uh... i forget uh... i've heard a lot of evident and and group the other way back uh... we will not mind will go out of all people with young people and that will do the right thing but don't it it didn't even be a question what what call it what is it all about people that their memory goes down that the drain we had uh... eight years of a wide -awake nightmare of bush then we had four years and possibly even worse i'd i don't probably need to bang my head the on wall know that unpleasant things is not something i want to continue to do what did bring the people that just forget that the work you can pay a bite of the democrats any topic you want to name we have is not like it never happened we have the experience of bush we have the experience of job and people don't know that what's with that you know it is there's no point greater white privilege that assuming that your vote doesn't have consequences thank i can vote the way i want to do again standing up in a lifeboat i can stand up in a lifeboat and if tip i the boat over at least i felt better about myself you gotta we gotta play we have to play one of these uh kell bell the tick tock star for you because that's exactly that's exactly what she's saying like you what know you you ain't ain't no lifeboats for you it's white privilege yes so much white privilege yeah black for and brown gay and you but all of our friends like there ain't no do you want to go we have one here's one yeah my husband and i about talk this a lot and we frame it around uh home makeover shows right like you know those home makeover shows where they give the owner of the house a sledgehammer and let him go to town on a wall knocking it down breaking it down burning it down whatever right it's because demolition does not take any skill right unless you are trying to preserve something unless you're trying to preserve the foundation of the house or you're trying to preserve like the support beams of the house that keep the roof from falling in on your head other than that they give the owner a sledgehammer and say go easy because demolition takes no skill and because the homeowner has already trusted that the developer and the builder is not going to allow them to break down anything that is important or super important to the structural foundation of the house so all y all out there who are hollering about vote third party or don't vote for the democrats or don't vote for joe biden or whatever y 'all are homeowners with the sledgehammer just wanting to swing away and tear down everything but some of us blueberry it's fantastic yeah this and again this is the people same people accuse me of like you you don't like that black people you're spoiled rich guy live but you're right that's that's the white privilege i'm going to own a jill stein because they did it that's it is a real better because nobody is in perfect yet doesn't matter you're not going perfect to get again they're free from criticism they're exactly what the republican party wants yeah you think for second if jfk jr had the stones to really lay into trump and really into the part that he would be uh... avoiding any type of criticism they would you men are at work on him immediately if they do you would be the dead running mate whatever you're going to get a guy with a good about it dot dot dot that when i met him to take my shirt off and do some push -ups i'll be a great president i hate that jim blah blah uh... forty five

The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from What Separates "Gaza" from Hamas? with Alan Dershowitz and Harmeet Dhillon
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. Hey everybody, today on The Charlie Kirk Show, Harmeet Dillon joins the program as we talk about the election results and what can be done to fix and change the RNC. Alan Dershowitz also joins us to talk about the War Against the Jews, very important book. Email me as always, freedom at charliekirk .com. Get your tickets to America Fest at amfest .com, that is a -m -f -e -s -t dot com, amfest .com. Get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com, that is tpusa .com. Start a high school or college chapter today at tpusa .com. Buckle up everybody, here we go. Charlie what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie, he's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Do we want to win? That's such an obvious question. The great rush Limbaugh taught us that establishment Republicans deep down don't want to win. They want to be controlled opposition, have the media to cover fire for them, be invited to cocktail parties, go on codels, do debates with NBC News. Winning requires responsibility and deep down Republicans would rather be attachés, they would rather be puppets and controlled by the Democrats. This is why Donald Trump was such a threat to them. When Donald Trump actually won it was shock and awe throughout of Washington D .C. Wait, we actually won something? Donald Trump's insistence on winning is not something the Republican establishment wants. They would rather lose all throughout. The RNC leadership does not want to win. They have a track record of losing. Do I get any sort of, did you guys see Ronna or any of those cabal members get upset today? No, they're too busy doing a debate with NBC News because they hate you. Joining us now is Harmeet Dillon. Harmeet, welcome to the program. Harmeet, you sent out a tweet of you just with your hands up. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I'm, look, I'm trying to be diplomatic here, I'm a member of the RNC, but in reality what I and all the other 156, 168 members of the RNC expect is that we are going to be going strong and doing the blocking and tackling for our candidates and creating the best situation for our candidates to win. And what happened yesterday was not that. Now, the RNC is not the only body whose job it is to elect a publicist. In fact, our main focus is supposed to be electing a president. I'll get to that in a minute. But we ought to be providing guidance and sort of a playbook for state parties to be able to get it right. For a while, to be frank, state parties have also not necessarily done their jobs in raising the money necessarily, but you know, you look at Kentucky, the Republican Governors Association's job is to raise the money and spend it so that our candidate does not outspend three or four to one. We need help with messaging. We need to update our playbook to make sure that we're gathering the ballots and getting those local density ballots in early, like the Democrats are doing, and that's not a volunteer activity anymore. Democrats are spending billions of dollars doing that over the last few election cycles, and we're just not even doing a drop in the bucket compared to that. So, you know, RNC's competence is necessary but not sufficient to win these elections. And I hope yesterday was a wake up call to all Republicans that we have less than one year to really get our act together and immediately engage and get this right. Otherwise, we are going to be looking at years of war and misery like we're suffering right now. So, Harmeet, just there's a debate tonight. It's kind of perplexing to do a debate with NBC News. Are other members of the RNC equally as confused? People are pretty puzzled by some of these choices to be frank, but most of us have no input in it. I used to be on the executive committee of the RNC. I'm not right now. We have a debate committee. I have a couple of friends on the debate committee and, you know, frankly even some of them are surprised by some of these choices, not just the venues that we're doing them for the platforms but also the specific moderators have been selected. It seems almost pointless or like fiddling while Rome is burning to be engaging with the far left here and letting them dictate the terms of our candidate selection. I'm not paying attention to that, to be honest with you. I'm really worried about what's happening in our country, what happened yesterday and figuring out how we can work around our national effort and make sure this gets done in the states or we're doing them. So, I'm going to ask a hypothetical that isn't so hypothetical. Hypothetical for you, not hypothetical for me. Is there a way to recall or remove an RNC chair this far into the game? You know, in the past, hypothetically, where there have been chairs who have failed completely, the executive committee of the Republican National Committee can certainly step in and, let's say, tighten the purse strings, set some boundaries, and make it very difficult. But, you know, Ronna got a mandate in January. She won pretty decisively. People ask me, are you going to confess that? No, I'm not going to confess. She definitely won the election with a significant percentage of the votes and there were major political operatives in our country on the Republican side whipping votes for her and there are many, many political consultants who really run the party who are very invested in the way it is. So, I don't really see that happening. So, you know, while it's convenient to pick a scapegoat we RNC for what happened yesterday, we got to get it together and not just complain on Twitter. We actually have to just understand this is the situation that we have and work around it. There are state parties. It is the job of state parties to get money and get it together and get a game play. Election laws vary by state. Some states have voter ID. Some states have 45 days of early voting. Whatever the situation is in your state, if you can't change it by election day, figure it out and learn how to master it. We've done that in California, for example. You know, we hate the system, but we've learned to figure out where we can win elections, ballot harvest, ballot cure, and get it done. And we do win those targeted elections. Yeah, Harmeet, I have a serious concern that we don't have the infrastructure necessary to win coming into next November. We are running out of time. You sent a tweet, you sent a tweet out some of this and you said this, which is the infrastructure is just not there. You know, we're not seeing the sort of consolidation of resources. And Harmeet, I know you have to be diplomatic because you're colleagues, all these people. But I'm going to say something I'm sure you're hearing. This is not just a grassroots concern. High level donors, the richest people, are actually saying very similar things as the grassroots as far as why do why are we not placing these investments? This is an unprecedented chapter where the rank and file precinct committeeman, the plumber, the electrician, the welder, the teacher, the mom is saying the same thing as the person worth a couple hundred million dollars. Are you hearing that too, Harmeet? I am hearing it. I spoke to some donor representatives just earlier this week of billionaire donors, reliable conservative donors. Quite a few of those folks supported change with the RNC. They didn't see it. And they're sitting on their hands right now. And that's unfortunate because these investments can't happen in October next year. They can't happen and they can't there can't be like, OK, let's call up some volunteer lawyers in September and hopefully they'll put down their laptops and go into the field and stuff. That's not how the Democrats do it. And since 2004, Democrat billionaires and big donors have been systematically and in a disciplined way, investing in legal warfare, investing in ballot harvesting, investing in smart tactical development of ballot measures and other bait, if you will, to get their voters to the polls, the high propensity voters. They have the money to pay the mules, gather these ballots and get them in. We are 20 years behind now. And, you know, I feel like watching a debate tonight is like fiddling while home is burning. It is not relevant to winning the election next year. Now, it has to be done. We can't skip this process. But, you know, I wonder why we're doing it with unfriendly moderators and platforms. It seems like a lost opportunity. Bottom line, if we have been investing in lawfare and in the army of ballot gatherers that we need, like, by the way, Turn Point Action is doing. Tyler's been out there doing that work. It's inspiring and it's important. There need to be a hundred Tyler's and a hundred Turn Point Actions out there doing this work in different states. There's, you know, some party patriots and other groups are doing it, but we just aren't doing enough of it. We have to have more. And yesterday needs to be a five alarm fire wake up call. Do not expect largesse from D .C. to save our butts. OK. Organize at the state and local level and find the local lawyers. And I can help with that. Find the people necessary and prepare the ground. Because if we don't, I mean, literally as we speak, my partners are flying around the country defending the right of President Trump to be on the ballot. This is extraordinary that the banana republics, that the regime tries to prevent the most popular opposition candidate from being free or from being on the ballot. That's what's happening in America right now. So, you know, that's that's what's at stake. And if you get, you know, let's not just use Twitter as a sport and get on there. Oh, you know, it's X person's fault. It's Y person's fault. That doesn't move the needle. What moves the needle is putting on your big girl in boy pants, getting out there, helping raise the money and helping be the person who organizes the precincts, finds out which neighbors aren't voting and why and persuade them. And if they're not even going to do that, then find a way to persuade them to turn their ballot over and you get it in for them. That's what it's going to take. Harmeet Dillon, wish you were RNC chair. We'd be in a much better spot. Thank you so much. See you soon. My pleasure. Thanks for having me.

Thinking Crypto News & Interviews
A highlight from MASSIVE RIPPLE XRP NEWS!! HSBC METACO, RIPPLE PAYMENTS XRP LEDGER, AFRICA EXPANSION
"Welcome to the Thinking Crypto podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. Well, folks, I'm recording this in the airport because I'll be traveling over the next few days. So content will be a bit late, but I wanted to share the following bullish news. It's incredible around Ripple and XRP. First, I want to start off with Bitcoin, though, because CME futures open interest just surpassed 100 ,000 Bitcoin for the first time ever. Are you bullish yet, folks? I think we see the bull market on the horizon. It's going to take some time. We've got the Bitcoin halving next year. We also have the Bitcoin spot ETF approvals around the corner. So I think the markets recognize this and we are seeing bullish activity. Now let's jump into the Ripple news. First, we got Ripple introducing what's called Ripple payments. The next evolution of Ripple's payments product, delivering a licensed end to end solution for financial institutions and SMEs with 70 plus payout markets, expanded crypto liquidity options, integration with the XRP ledger, decentralized exchange and much more. So they did a full breakdown on their websites. But here we're just seeing Ripple expanding and the use of the XRP ledger is involved. So a lot of the folks who've been saying that XRP will never be used, banks, no one will ever use XRP. Now it's pretty clear what's happening and I'm bullish on XRP. It has the clear path, the clear runway with the SEC lawsuit wrapping up recently. And it has the clarity to go hit new all time highs in the next bull market. So let me give you some of the details here from their blog posts. Ripple has received money transmitter licenses across numerous US jurisdictions, allowing Ripple payments to offer its products and services within those jurisdictions. With single onboarding, customers are now able to access nearly 100 % of global payout coverage to more than 70 payout markets through Ripple's international payments network. A new integration with the XRP Ledger's native decentralized exchange will buttress global liquidity options for Ripple customers, streamlining customer onboarding into new markets and improving product performance. Through newly expanded liquidity options, Ripple payments can fulfill customers' liquidity needs on demand 24 -7, 365 days per year. Huge news. Now, remember Medeco, a firm that Ripple has invested in, and then they backed out from purchasing, but they're still an active investor, but here's some big news they put out today. HSBC that announced it will be working with Medeco as it plans to launch a new digital assets custody service for institutional clients who invest in tokenized securities. We've been talking about the token economy, everything on the blockchain, assets, securities, real estate, you name it, everything running on the blockchain. And Ripple, of course, is in the mix here, right? With HSBC, a bank, of course, and Medeco. So here's a photo of the team together, Monica Long, who I've had on the podcast, and we'll try to get her back on soon. So huge things happening in the market, folks, and even Medeco's CEO weighed in on this, what HSBC is going to be doing. And obviously, like I said, Ripple is in the mix, and you can imagine the XRP Ledger will be used for tokenization, right? Because you can tokenize pretty much anything on the XRP Ledger. Now we also have news that Ripple has formed a new partnership with Onafriq, if I'm saying that right, O -N -A -F -R -I -Q, which will utilize Ripple payments. Our crypto -enabled payments technology to open up three new payments corridors between Africa and the rest of the world. Folks, I see global expansion happening here. So there you have it, folks, XRP Ledger is in the mix of all of this, and Africa is one of the biggest markets out there with many countries within Africa who have emerging economies and are using blockchain tech and much more. So huge, huge partnership here. I hope you see what's happening. As I said before, I am bullish on XRP. Now the SEC has filed their opposition to Binance's motion to dismiss, and Paul Grewal, chief legal officer at Coinbase, weighed in on this. I'm not going to read through everything, but a TLDR here. He highlights the SEC asserts that a virtually unlimited flexibility of the securities laws grants it a complete authority over crypto exchanges. That misrepresents the law. So Paul goes into details, but that's the TLDR. The SEC, once again, not abiding by the law, they've been called out by the judges in many different cases, being called arbitrary and capricious in the grayscale lawsuit. So we got to keep fighting, we got to keep exposing scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler. So we got to get on social media, contact our representatives and much more. Now we've got news here that Polygon and NEAR, the NEAR protocol, are bringing ZKWASM, so WASM to life if you want to call it that. So the ZKWASM prover research is underway and expected to launch next year. Let me give some details on what this is. This means that developers who build with Polygon's chain development kit, CDK and open source code base will soon be able to use the ZKWASM as a prover. As you all know, with zero knowledge proof technology, you know, everybody's trying to get this going. It's going to be the next layer in how we transact on the blockchains in ZK technology. A prover refers to the party trying to show a claim is accurate to a verifier without revealing the information itself. A verifier is responsible for acknowledging that the information is accurate. So it's great to see these two blockchains working together, NEAR and Polygon. I don't hold any of the NEAR tokens. I do have Matic in my portfolio. I am bullish on Polygon Matic. They're being used by quite a few brands with NFTs and Web3. So this is pretty interesting. We also got news here that decentralized AI platform Ritual lands $25 million in seed funding. We're seeing capital flowing into the market, both into the infrastructure, companies building the infrastructure, as well as the tokens. The Ritual is the brainchild of Web3 investor, Neeraj Pant, who funded projects like Eigenlayer with Anselana and the Keshpoti, Quant, and then builder at data analytics company Palantir. Over the last year, AI companies have witnessed significant growth that offers new experiences, products, and a new source of revenue, Pant said. Although this may be the case, there are also significant problems taking place. So one of the things I've been talking about is that blockchain is gonna be a solution to help police AI, as we are seeing a lot of deep fakes when it comes to media, content, video, you name it, that's gonna be an issue. So blockchain will help verify is the source of this content and this information coming from the actual source, or is it from AI and something that was spinned up by a nefarious actor or whatever it may be. And look, we're also gonna need to have AI police AI itself. So we'll see how things go, but blockchain is the way to improve that verifiability around different content and the rise of deep fakes and so forth. Finally, as our sponsor is Uphold, one of the great crypto exchanges out there, they have plus 260 cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, all the top old coins, they're fully reserved, secure. I've interviewed the CEO, CFO, so I trust this platform, I've been using it since 2018. So if you'd like to learn more about Uphold, check out the link in the description. And actually a quick note, they're doing a 50 ,000 XRP giveaway this month. So if you conduct at least $20 in trades, every $20 in trade that you make, you get an entry to win that prize. So check it out. Link will be in the description.
Dateable Podcast
Fresh update on "pant" discussed on Dateable Podcast
"Hi, friends. Welcome to another episode. Are you all full from Thanksgiving? Are you all wearing elastic waistpants? Which is what I live in. Is it a problem if that's what you were doing before Thanksgiving? No, not at all. Not at all. That's all I own. Now when I see pants with buttons, I'm like, ooh, why? Why would you do that to yourself? I feel like I have to replace my workout pants. And I'm not saying that as someone that's always working out. It's just what I live in now, basically. You know, like I do. OK, so I do Stitch Fix. This is not sponsored by Stitch Fix. This is my personal thing. I thought they would be a great sponsor. Oh, we would love to be sponsored. Yes, I love it because I'm super lazy. In shopping, I used to love shopping, like love it. Like growing up, my grandmother was like, like that was her hobby, basically shopping. And I loved it. And somewhere along the lines, I just lost it completely. And this shirt I'm wearing now is from Stitch Fix. But what's great about it is that they just send you stuff in the mail. You don't have to think about it. But I was saying the other day that I have like way too many sweaters and jeans from them now. And I was like, oh, maybe I should just cancel. And then I was like, I need to actually just redo the quiz or whatever and be like all athleisure, because that's all I need. Yeah, exactly. Like get the staples that you live in. Like what? What are jeans? Like why? Why do people wear jeans? Well, I feel like the staples, like the yoga pants I wear, the problem is because I wear them so frequently, they start to wear down because they're not like nice. I'm not like getting Lululemon and like top tier brands. And I wore one the other day and I wore it out. My partner was like, you should not be in public in that. Because they were like completely like worn down on one side. I'm like, I'm out of pants. Oh, my God. When your partner tells you you should be wearing those pants, you know, it's a dire situation. True, especially a guy. I've also lost my interest in shopping just because it's such a pain in the ass like to go out there and be around people. So I do online shopping, but online shopping is such a crapshoot. You know, it is. That's the problem with it. Yeah, it's kind of annoying. So I do a lot of returns. You're more stylish, though. I feel like at least in L.A. I mean, you probably experienced this moving from S.F. to L.A., but it seems drastic. Drastic. S.F. fashion goes to die. Yeah, as a fashion, there's like a uniform, basically. And you're like, oh, I can just wear this all the time. But yoga pants. Yeah, yoga pants, fleece sweatshirt. Yeah, good company issued logoed sweatshirts. Yeah, you're good here. It's like if you do wear that, then you got to wear like something really crazy on the bottom. You know, it's like part of an outfit. It's a look like a Google hoodie with like the red leather pants. Oh, my God. Taking it that it's no longer fun anymore. Yeah, well, you know, that's all to say that that's nothing related to this episode. We're about to this interview. I was like, it kind of is, you know, appearance reality TV. I don't know. There's a stretch. There's always a stretch if you find one. Sure. Like your reality TV. We talk to the girls from Two Black Girls, One Rose, who have this amazing podcast all about reality TV. They break it down. They do the summaries. They talk about some of the hottest shows out there, and they take it to a whole new level. Like Julie and I can talk about Love is Blind for hours, but they can talk about it for hours. Like they could talk about all of them, not just like the whole gamut of reality TV. And I was kind of thinking about this reflecting back on this episode is on one hand, we can critique reality TV for shaping our reality, so to speak. But on the other hand, reality TV is a mirror, a reflection back of what's going on in modern dating. And sometimes when you look back and when it's reflected back at you. Yeah, it's alarming. You're like, oh, this is a shit that's going on in real life. It's not just for the drama. I'm really glad that we did this crossover. We were also on their podcast, Justine and Natasha. Those are the hosts of Two Black Girls, One Rose. And we were on their podcast to talk about the pick me mentality, you know, like that. I want to be chosen at all costs. And you see that on reality TV. It's like, will I get this next rose? Will I progress the next round? But we also see that in dating culture, because how many times have we heard from people? I just want to get to the next date. I just want to get that text back. I just want to DTR. And sometimes we don't stop and say, like, do I even like this person that I'm working overtime to get their attention? And I'm really glad we did this crossover because you and I were clearly able to bring our expertise on modern dating and they were like, oh, we hadn't thought about it this way. And then they brought their deep dive knowledge about reality TV. We were like, yeah, we had it connected those dots. So, you know, obviously check out us on their podcast, too. But this is a great episode. It made me think about reality TV a little differently. And we're not saying that reality TV mimics dating 100 percent, but it is interesting to see the parallels. I thought you're going to say and we brought our expertise on reality TV as well, which is true. I mean, we we do between Julie and I think we've got some like the popular reality shows covered. I'm so glad I recently turned her to Bachelor in Paradise, which is my favorite show. And I will stand by that is so good. I admit that I have not been a big proponent of The Bachelor. I don't like it. There was a period there was a period. Yes. Like eight years ago. Yes. Yeah. And I was like, I don't know about this. And I actually am a recent convert to reality TV dating shows. Love is Blind is what did it for me. There was something about that show that made me really like get hooked on it. And my partner still doesn't believe me because I always tell him, like, I never really watch this that much. Yes. Thank you. You are vouching for me. He's like, yeah, right. You're always watching reality TV shows. I'm like, now I am. Yes. Yeah, I can I can say several years ago, five years ago, you were not this Julie that I know today. I'm so glad that you come to the dark side. I've gone to trash TV world converted, but it's still they're all social experiments and these are still real people on these shows. So, yes, some of it's contrived and scripted, but there are still reactions that you find very relatable, you know, the insecure and the insecurities come out. I find those moments so relatable because you find that in everyday dating, you know, that's that's what happens the one part. I'm going to tie it back to your stitch fix conversation. So you can tie everything back. That is the skill we have. The one part I do not find relatable at all to reality TV is the amount of makeup and the outfits that they don on these shows. How many hours are they getting ready before they go on camera? Because the cameras are rolling at 6 a.m. So are they up at like three putting on their lashes putting on their nails putting on their fucking face like this is so not relatable. Well, especially love is blind with the first part of the show. They're not even see the people but they're like clearly they're on camera full cocktail dress. Yeah, if this was real dating and I wasn't seeing anyone actually this was kind of covid right? Like you were doing a lot of dates on the phone. I love phone over video because I'm like permission to not get ready at all. Yes, no permission to be in my pajamas doing a date. I mean, if you're going to try to be your truest most authentic self, wouldn't you be lounging in your PJs and you just like bedhead? I don't know. I that's the part that's a disconnect for me because that's not reality. It reminds me of the scene with it in bridesmaids when she wakes up next to the guy, but she goes and gets ready first like puts on makeup and then comes back to bed. It's like, oh, I just woke up like this. That's what it reminds me of. It's so it's like so not real. I feel like there's been multiple scenes in TV shows like yeah, like Marvelous Mrs. Basil they had one too. But okay, there is a little bit of reality of this though, right? Like when we go on dates, I don't know about you. I wear I'm not putting the levels of makeup as these people but I wear more makeup than I normally do. Okay before covid times. I always wear a dress to date. What how often do I wear a dress ever? Exactly, exactly. So we're always kind of putting our best face forward. I know for dates. I know it in some ways I get it. It's a respect thing. You want to you're showing that you respect yourself and you respect the person you're with. So you're putting a little bit more effort that part. I agree with but to go out there and wear the amount of makeup or to wear the outfit that you would not ever wear and it's only a date outfit or a date makeup. Yeah, that's a little misleading for for me, right? So but we all do it all of us do it. We all do wear like the four inch stilettos to date. So like when else would I ever wear? Why would I torture myself in this is such a fucking bait and switch because he's going to get in a relationship with me and I'm going to be a sneakers like all the time. So I kind of got like nostalgic about dating the other day because like one of my friends was telling me how her like sisters back dating and you know meeting people and I'm like, oh, there's like a part of me that misses that right like never knowing what's around the corner what the night will hold. It's fun. It's exciting. But the part of dating that is not is this right the presentation and this like feeling like I'm need to impress someone and it I think this is what makes dating so painful because it's so unnatural like I love dating in covid when I just showed up at the park in my yoga attire because that was natural and I felt comfortable and I was more focused on making a connection with someone then how I would look at how I was presenting and I feel like we get so caught in this stuff that we lose track of it. Why are we actually trying to date in the first? Yes, because we're trying to create the reality TV environment on these first couple of dates, but they're not real because the camera stopped rolling at some point and that face is going to come off at some point. So we got to find a good balance a few weeks ago. I went on a date with this guy and he said do you want this date to be casual or do you want this to be like date date? And I said, let's keep it chill and casual. So we had a really chill like t-shirt and jeans night and I I kind of appreciated that there wasn't a choice and he was able to think about the two different scenarios. So that's an option. Look at you a back out. I know did I just repeat back out there? But I was like, whoa, is this how dating works now? Like you get a choice between two different scenarios is great. Well, I remember like when I was you know in the thick of being super single. I remember going to brunch with our friend Kiana and she was just like I wish there was like this radically honest date where you could lay out everything on the table just like past travas all the deal like everything that's happened. So you just get super real with the person and it's like in theory. I do really like that idea but then it never comes off right because this person is a stranger right and then it just comes off as trauma dumping but I do think like we try to be someone we're not so often and that's what gets in the way. Yep. I used to go on first dates with like a story in mind, you know a persona today. I'm gonna be a flirty dance instructor you a guy and then I'm gonna come in with a story about like a student. So reality TV and like yeah, my date would be entertained but then at the same time be like who the fuck are you just came in hot with all these stories and this like this persona about you. Yeah, I was so fucked up. Oh my God. If anyone is a new listener, you need to go back to the archives. I'm gonna link it in the show notes on this one just so it's easy for people but there is one episode we did back in the day. You know what I'm talking about. It was called dating on a whim because there was a dating app whim back then that's no longer in existence. Yeah, and you may put it out of business. I'm just kidding. We did the opposite for them of what they hoped would happen. No, it was it was actually like I think the best thing that happened for you though because you went in thinking like slaying the date, entertainer, what you just said basically like I'm the persona and the guy that was like I just want you to be real like why are you doing this and it was the wake-up call. He's like that's nice and all but who are you like halfway through the day? Yeah, who are you? But I do actually I guess in the vein of reality TV. I love doing those type of episodes when we've done them because we basically in we had UA and him go on a date and we interviewed both of them and it is the social experiment. It's the same thing that is drawing us to reality TV is just like living and seeing people interact as like this third party and it's like you're almost like getting this like the spy vision into someone's life. If you look at any reality dating show, it's the same progression the first couple dates the conversations like flirty and kind of performative, you know, oh my god, I'm so into my nieces and nephews. I love seeing them for holidays. I bring them all these is like it's that kind of that tone to like you have been taught to your niece and nephew and like yeah, like what are their names you name them and then when insecurities come out that's when the voice the tone of the voice drops you go to a lower octave you start speaking much quieter and then the conversations more about like I don't I don't know where this is going. I don't know how I feel about this person that the authenticity but every reality show goes through that progression same with dating the first couple dates. It's like yeah, I went to school here and I grew up here and I love the snow and I love to hike it's up. Everything is like light light light and then when someone doesn't call you back or there's yeah, there's like some ghosting happening your voice drops like I don't know what the fuck happened. That's the real you that's the real how do we get to that faster? That's always been my question. How do we do it like fast forward to that? I just like who made up I mean some of it's the rules and bad dating books, but I feel like it goes further. It's like someone back in the day decided like this is how dating works and we must do these progressions of steps and present this way. Like how did that even get started? Yeah, it must be some somebody who studied first impressions and said this is how you make a first good impression. Do you remember maybe you don't remember Julie maybe this is like because we're a few years apart. Maybe this all died by the time you entered the job job force, but when I was interviewing for jobs after college, I had to wear full suits. Do you remember that? Yeah, but that was taught to me in college in college like when we did on-campus job interviews. We were all told to buy full fucking suits to wear and now looking back is like what unless you worked on Wall Street. What job would you wear a full fucking suit? It's the same thing with with dating. It's like why are you if you're interviewing for this job? Why are you acting and presenting yourself in a way that you would never act in that job? Well, I remember I brought all my suits when I moved to San Francisco and I quickly realized that I looked like a complete and utter fool here because everything is so casual here right like people would show up in the hoodie if you're in a full suit like you looked ridiculous, but it gives me a little hope for dating. Yeah, this maybe as a culture we're getting there right of saying like you don't need to put on this front. Yeah, we're getting there. No, okay. Okay.

Welcome into The Mike Gallagher Show week in review podcast. Great to have you here. It is Friday, November the third. It's another week chock full of breaking news. Let's begin with this shocker. Over a hundred college professors at Columbia University in New York City signing a letter in support of pro -hamas protesters on campus. The anti -semitism we're seeing in the streets of America, particularly on college campuses, is astounding and we tackled it this week front and center. Over a hundred Columbia University professors signed a letter yesterday defending students who support Hamas. Can you imagine a college professor supporting monsters who put babies in ovens and and cooked them alive? Can you imagine over a hundred Columbia University professors, Ivy League staffers writing a letter supporting the students who defend Hamas? You'd send your kid to college at Columbia, you'd be out of your mind. You would be out of your mind. If you've got a son or daughter who wants to go get some hugely successful career and they think Columbia University is the path to take, you'd be nuts to let your kid go to Columbia, much less pay for it. And donors, you would donate to Columbia University? Over a hundred professors defending students who are supporting bloodthirsty animalistic terrorists. They put babies in ovens. They raped women and broke their legs before murdering them. They chopped soldiers' heads off. They chopped babies' heads off. And these moron professors, and they are morons, they are ignorant fools, wrote a letter demanding for support the moron students defending terrorism. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has a brand new speaker. He's Representative Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana. Democrats are none too happy about this guy. In fact, they are literally denouncing his Bible -believing Christianity. Wait till you hear what MSNBC personality and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had to say about Mike Johnson's religious beliefs. Does the Bible inform your worldview? The new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, a little -known congressman from Louisiana, has had the audacity to admit that for him the Bible informs his worldview. Jen Psaki was the White House Press Secretary. She now has her own show on MSNBC, and she is undoubtedly very popular among the left. I want you to hear Jen Psaki expressing her shock and disgust and mortification at the newly elected Speaker of the House, admitting that he's a Bible -believing Christian. So let's take a few minutes to talk about this new speaker. First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine, fine -ish. Conservative, yes, but he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses. How threatening can this guy actually be? Well, he gave us all a little clue as to how he would govern in an interview this week. I am a Bible -believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, it's curious. People are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun? I said, well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That's, that's my worldview. You heard that right. The Bible doesn't just inform his worldview. It is his worldview. In fact, during his first speech in his new job, Johnson suggested that his election as speaker was an act of God. Talk about a bit of a humble brag there. So what exactly has God apparently called on Mike Johnson to do? Well, his views on policy are essentially what you'd expect from a religious fundamentalist. They're more divisive than they are divine. She's threatened. They're threatened by a religious fundamentalist like Mike Johnson. And you heard what she, the way she described it. It's threatening. We should be scared because he's a Christian. Now you just heard that, right? I mean, I'm not hallucinating, right? I just played a clip from MSNBC and she's got some MSNBC bona fides. She was the White House press secretary. She's no slouch in terms of elocution. She knows what she's saying. She forms the word. She's reading those words on a teleprompter. Let me again repeat what Jen Psaki just told her national audience. We should be scared of Mike Johnson because he's a Christian. Let that sink in. This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. I hope you'll subscribe. Don't miss any of the great content that we produce every single day. If you missed anything, you'll catch up with us. The Israeli consulate in New York City invited the media to a special event. They shared firsthand evidence of the brutality of Hamas in Israel. This is very difficult to hear, but we can't turn away. We must be aware of what actually happened on October 7th in Israel. Kelly Jane Torrance writes about it. None of us wanted to see such sites, this person writes, but none of us would give up the opportunity. The world needs to know what happened. Journalists, about 20 of us had to leave our cell phones and Apple watches at the door. Some of the footage had never been released and Israeli authorities had their reasons for showing it only to select reporters and some select others like Joe Biden. They're concerned about the feelings of the families involved. They also don't want such horror and humiliation broadcast worldwide. One retired major general and reservist, Mickey Edelstein said, we have values. This reporter said, human beings still have the capacity to shock if one can call Hamas human beings. I will long be haunted by what I saw. The footage eases you into things, she writes, a little. Terrorists fire at motorists on the highway. They enter a kibbutz and blow an ambulance's tires first. They shoot a dog who reminds, who remains shaking on the street. They light a home on fire. Then, then they start entering the houses. Israel collected video from a wide variety of sources, public closed circuit TV, traffic cameras, dash cams of terrorists and of victims, as well as their social media posts and messages at home. You can hear the murderers breathe heavily as they nervously approach their prey. It was almost impossible to watch the council general admitted afterward. He couldn't even stay for the whole screening. A father tries to get his young children dressed only in underpants safely to a backyard shelter. A grenade lands before he can close the door. He's dead. A terrorist takes the two boys back into the house. The security camera captures their devastation. The blast blinded one boy in an eye, the other falls to the ground, plaintively pleading, why am I alive? Why am I alive? Blood is everywhere. A man with his nose blown off, headless Israeli soldiers, an elderly woman clad only in her brightly colored underwear, never meant to be seen by so many. Piles of bodies surrounded by young men, celebrating, chanting Aluakbar. A broken woman is taken from the back of a Jeep, the rear of her pants covered in blood. We can easily understand what likely happened to her. Young men clamor over trying to get a look inside. Women who were raped had their legs broken, then they were killed. So they were raped, they had their legs broken, and then they were murdered. Many times Kelly Jane Torrance writes, I wanted to look away, but I forced myself not to. We journalists had to see so what happened we could tell the world. Yet here is a line from a CBS news piece written by a journalist who saw the footage, quote, in another clip, a militant stands over a man who appears to have been shot in the gut and hacks at him multiple times with a garden hoe. Interestingly, the words terrorist or terrorism don't appear in this piece. They don't appear in the New York Times report of that screening either. I can tell you it was not a militant who stands over a man. A group of terrorists argue over who gets to behead the man. A Thai worker bleeding profusely from his stomach but still alive. Someone hacks at him repeatedly with a hoe trying to behead him. Every single time the terrorist yells Alua Akbar. That difference in detail is why the consulate staff sat through 45 minutes of misery. They need people to see what happened. Sure, dead babies were found without their heads, but who knows who did the deed, according to journalists from serious publications, supposedly publications. serious She says, the hate I witnessed goes beyond those who entered Israel. A young man uses a dead Israeli woman's phone to call his parents and brag of killing 10 Jews, quote, with my bare hands. He pleads to his father, please be proud of me, dad. That's the culture Israel must fight. Then there's New York City. A day after the screening of this video, thousands of anti -Semites marched into Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge after a rally at the Brooklyn Museum. At the front were people holding a banner that read, by any means necessary. This journalist who saw these atrocities committed by these monsters, these savages called Hamas, writes, understand what a sign like that means. These people know what happened October 7th. They're gathering in large numbers in New York and cities around the world, including America, to show their support for the animals who committed these atrocities. They are as bloodthirsty as the heavy breathing terrorists whose voices the people of Israel will never get out of their heads. And that's so important. You must know what pro -Hamas demonstrators are. On the pop culture front, actor Matthew Perry, best known for his role on the sitcom series Friends, passed away at the age of 54. He was found in his hot tub in his Los Angeles home, apparently drowned. A very interesting conversation resulted in vaccines with the shocking death of Matthew Perry. 54 years old, he was one of the stars of Friends. He was found dead in his jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home. And right away, people started rushing in saying he was a big pro -vaccination guy. The anti -vaxxers, as they're known, went bonkers, saying, how does a 54 -year -old guy who was allegedly clean and sober, he had had a lifetime of trouble with drugs and alcohol, apparently, rough life, he had gotten his act together, he wrote a memoir last year, and he was lounging in his jacuzzi, and he died. And so far, the police say, no sign of foul play. There were some prescription drugs found, but no illegal drugs or illicit drugs. And this guy was part of the culture and one of the most successful sitcom actors of all time, and one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, Friends. And apparently, he had his personal assistant go out to run some errands. The assistant came back after a couple hours and found this guy dead in the jacuzzi in the backyard of the pool. A lot of people were tweeting and writing on social media. This is not a conspiracy theory. People are suddenly dying. People are having heart attacks. And they pointed out that Matthew Perry had tweeted out like a year ago, could I be any more vaccinated? Get your shot and then get your shirt. Shop the entire collection. And it was a collection of t -shirts bragging about getting vaccinated. And people were tweeting out things like, do you believe Matthew Perry died from heart issues in his jacuzzi that were caused by him getting so many COVID vaccines? Again, he once promoted a t -shirt that said, could I be any more vaccinated? Well, you know, I know we don't want to open up that whole can of worms again. On the other hand, did you see the story about the new analysis by the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, said that there may be an increase in the risk of stroke when you get a COVID shot on the same day as when you get certain flu vaccines. A new analysis found the link was clearest in adults over 85. It applied to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID booster vaccines. The FDA said the risk might stem from the flu vaccine alone and be completely unrelated to the COVID shots. I think it's fair to say, and I just want to start right here and say, whether we like it or not, most Americans, I think, and I want you to correct me if you think I've got this wrong, most Americans have a deep distrust over just about any vaccine. There was a horrific incidence of violence this week in New York City. It erupted after an argument between neighbors of a New York City apartment building. It was all captured on closed circuit surveillance video. Maybe you've seen the ghastly video of a neighbor in an apartment building who executed a father and his stepson over a dispute regarding noise. It was all captured on closed circuit surveillance video. It's awful. I don't want to play it. I mean, this guy came with a gun ready to confront this family. There had apparently been a history of arguing between these two tenants of the apartment building, I think it was in Brooklyn, and the family comes out to confront the guy. He's wearing a jacket. He's dressed all in black. And the closed circuit surveillance cameras are just crystal clear. One thing about this closed circuit TVs now, the video quality is as good as anything you see on a TV network. You can get these ring cameras and everything, and they're a real good deterrent, I think, for criminals, because they work well. I've got a whole set of them at a property that I own, and you can see everything. It records automatically. If there's movement, you can set all kinds of settings. Anyway, they had a closed circuit camera in the hallway of this apartment building. This guy's waiting. He's pacing. They're arguing. The dad comes out, and he's very threatening. He's apparently a bodybuilder. The father was this big, hulking, you know, muscular, tall guy. And he storms out with a pair of scissors in his hand, and they're arguing about the noise. And according to news reports, you know what the noise was? The family that the other guy was objecting to, they lived above this guy, and they didn't have carpeting on the floor. So whenever they walked, they were walking on wood floors, and it made a lot of noise, and it just aggravated the guy down below. So the guy down below shows up. He's in the hallway. He's got a jacket on. They're arguing. The family's arguing. The big, you know, bodybuilder is towering over the guy with a pair of scissors. Well, the shorter guy that came up to complain, he pulls out a gun, a handgun. The father immediately retreats. Doesn't matter. This guy starts blasting away. He shoots the dad multiple times. It's all caught on camera. The son, the stepson, tries to get away. He executes the stepson, pumps him full of bullets, and then he goes over to the dad, who's trying to get up. He's fallen by the door and puts a couple more bullets in his head for good measure. I mean, it was a stone cold execution. And there was a big debate on social media about whether or not it was self -defense or not. Well, of course it wasn't self -defense. He executed them. He's arguing with them about noise in an apartment. Now a family is shattered. And the breaking news, the reason I'm telling you this whole story is there is some news. They got the guy. Police shot him at a traffic stop moments ago in Brooklyn. The 47 -year -old suspect, Jason Pass, was in a car when police got a hit on his license plate. They performed a traffic stop, at which point the situation took a violent turn. He charged at the cops with a knife. They shot him. He's been rushed to an area hospital in critical condition. So everybody's lives are... And there's a moral to the story here. And the reason I think it's important to talk about it is more and more people are arming themselves. It's inevitable. Look at the world around us. Listen, I'm starting up the process again here in Florida. Years ago, I got a concealed carry permit course that I took in South Carolina. But you know, it's been years. I was living in New York City. You sure aren't supposed to have a gun in New York. And now that I'm a Florida resident, I'm going to be armed. You were there with Mike Lindell through thick and through thin. You appreciate that Mike has been targeted and they've tried to stop him.

We're working on subscriber -only information and specials, so you're not going to want to miss out. When I learned that despite eating as healthy as possible, we can still have undernourished brains, I was frustrated. Learning about neuro -reserves, Relev8, and how it's formulated to fix this problem convinced me to give them a try. Now I know many of you are skeptical, as was I, however, I know it's working because of one simple change, my sweet tooth is gone. I didn't expect that, and it's not something other users have commented on, but here's some truth. My brain always wanted something sweet. Now fruit usually did the trick, but not always. One bad night's sleep would fire up my sugar cravings so much they were almost impossible to ignore. You ever have your brain screaming for a donut? Well, for me, those days are gone. I believe in my results so much that I'm passing on my 15 % discount to you. Try it for two or three months and see if you have a miraculous sweet tooth cure, or maybe just better focus and clarity. It's worth definitely a try. Now on with our show. Welcome back, everybody. Thank you so much for joining us. I know you're going to love today's episode. With me is Krista Montague. We are talking about challenging dementia behaviors. And for those of you who know, who have listened long enough, you know, I had a few of those with my mom, so we'll be talking about those and others. So thanks for joining me, Krista. Oh, thanks for having me. So why don't you introduce yourself, tell us about your company, maybe your background with caring for somebody with dementia, and then we'll dive right into the topic. Yeah, absolutely. So I run a platform and a business called Dementia Success Path. The reason I started it is when I was very first getting started with my career, I ended up working in Jerry Psych. And that's where you run into the most challenging of dementia behaviors. That's why they're there at the hospital and my job there as an activity therapist was to provide natural intervention. So what to say and what to do to get them to come to a certain baseline in order for the doctors that work there to really be able to correctly prescribe medication. So anyways, that is how I got into the space. And over the course of many, many years, I cared for thousands of dementia patients with challenging behaviors. Thus, now I help caregivers on the Internet with said challenging behaviors now. So that's that's a little bit about me and my background. Awesome. While you were talking, I remembered a different scenario, so I hope I'm not going to throw this out of left field because this was a really challenging behavior. And I want to keep it as anonymized as possible. So a resident who was very tall, who had been a what do they call like a endurance athlete, did those like endurance marathons for people who are not watching the YouTube video. This is a very I don't want to do that kind of face. And he got very agitated if he couldn't get a hold of his wife on the phone and she was out of cell reception and he got so agitated, he pushed over another resident who broke a hip. We all know what happens when older people break hips. And this was an issue she had with him. It's just like he had obviously greater than average. What is the word? Oh, it's Monday and my brain's not going to work. He just had a ton of energy and he needed people to like take him running or he needed a way of getting rid of the energy. But he was out of stage of his dementia that taking him out wasn't necessarily safe for himself or others. So just off the top of your head, what do you think you would do with that? Just we're going to start off with the hard question first. Yeah, well, so I guess I'd be curious to figure out some of some of the why behind that, because ultimately behavior is just communication. The main thing with most of the dementias, whether it be Alzheimer's or from a temporal or blue body or whatever, is that it takes away language if you stick with the disease process long enough. So over time, those behaviors become a way for them to say, hey, something emotionally or physically with me isn't right. And I can't tell you any other way than maybe to shove this over or something like that. So it sounds like a couple of things are there, which is he has a physical need of moving around if that's been a part of his life and that's not being that that could definitely be part of it. The other part is maybe an emotional need that's not being met, which is he's wanting to get a hold of his safe person, the person who he feels gets him and can help orient him. And it's not happening. And I can just feel so overwhelming when you've lost control of everything else in your life with dementia. So as far as tackling those issues, I usually like to start with the physical issue first before I tackle the emotional one. So I understand it could definitely be challenging to get them to maybe run around the block, but I know where I happen to work, we had a pretty substantial backyard area, a garden area that people could walk around or even like a little mini trampoline event. That'd actually be a great idea if you can't move anywhere and he's like, there's nothing physically wrong. He has no mobility issues going on. Just have him bounce on that trampoline and just count it out, like almost treat it like a workout he's having like he might have had in sports or something like that, or maybe run laps a around few times or make it like some type of competition, like he's beating himself with it. So there's all kinds of ways that you can help productively put that energy towards something where it's safer. That was a lot of my job is figuring out how I could safely get these folks needs met so that if things continue to be an issue that then the doctor would come in with, say, like your Ativan or your Seroquel or, you know, whatever, things like that, it's a delicate balance trying if you're a psychiatrist that specializes in geriatrics to really get that right. And he really depended on us trying everything before he gets the medications. We're like, OK, so roughly we probably need this amount. But I was so I'll go there first with getting this physical needs. If he has a lot of energy and he just needs it met, there's there's always a safe way to get it done. It just takes a little bit of creativity and knowing a little bit about his life and his background and what would make the most sense for him. So all that's very important. And then beyond that, the emotional need could be maybe he feels like there isn't anybody else that just sits and talks to him. And I know it's challenging facilities. I get it. I worked in a facility, but at the same point in time, that's really where your let's just say your recreation therapist, your activity director can really be helpful with that. Chances are maybe he could like wall that person's activity planning or something like that could be sitting next to to her him or whatever and help him with these ideas and really building that one on one relationship so that it's not such a desperate bid for that person. You know, ultimately, there's always there's always something you can do. But I hear you. There's always going to be challenges when you're looking at an institutional place with staffing, training, all that type of stuff. But, you know, every single person's different. And it was it was rare when there was ever a person where I'm just like, no, we can't we can't help them. But it was it was very, very, very rare that that would ever be a situation that we find ourselves in. I'm wondering if they actually had gone to a geriatric psychiatrist. I'm thinking no, but I didn't know everything about their situation, obviously. Sure. That probably would have been a really good solution because he'd been in one memory care community and they just I'm not sure they tried very hard. That one used to be a mile down the hill from my home and there was a reason my mom wasn't there. And the one my mom was at, he had been moved there. So the whole incident with the shoving was in the person who got shoved was the parent of a client of my husband. So it was like, it was all the dramas. Yeah, it resolved. It resolved pretty well. I mean, there wasn't lawsuits or everybody was level headed and came to some some agreements that were positive. So that was good because I was like, oh, God, we don't. We're like, do we really need to get lawyers involved? Because, you know, this is just a really ugly situation. But I question whether whether they had a psychiatrist because that might have helped because they did have a really beautiful outside courtyard. I don't know that it would have been enough space. I mean, it was basically the size of an Olympic pool, so he could have run down and back and around. But I'm wondering if he would have felt like like a hamster on a wheel, just kind of going in a circle. But I like the trampoline idea. It depends on the context you're putting it in. It really does. If you're really treating it like, hey, this is, you know, a workout that we're doing together, like a training workout, if he was a big sports guy, then it could make sense for him. It just depends. As far as, I'd say it's unlikely the facility had one. And the reason being is in the place that I worked at, it's a hospital, so it was meant to be short term and that's usually how it goes. Oftentimes we see, rightly so, medication being a very last resort because it could take someone like him who is nothing's physically wrong with him. He's extremely physically active and it could mess with his balance and make it so he becomes a fall risk. So it's almost like you're borrowing from Peter to pay Paul when you're introducing medications. Oftentimes the folks that come to our hospital, they were violent, like they were spitting, they were fighting, hitting people, danger to themselves or others. Like it was very, very extreme situations where they'd be like, OK, like the drugs are like the very last resort to managing this. And I can understand in, you know, memory care or skilled nursing or something like that, it's challenging to have somebody so physically strong around with a bunch of frail people around, for sure. He certainly had quite a few of those. Yeah, he's really tall and then none of the caregivers, most of them, like 99 % of them were women and they weren't, none of them were more than average height. Most of us were pretty, yeah, we're talking like five foot two to five, six or seven at best. So it's not like they had like big, tall, you know, burly women to control him, which, you know, physically controlling him isn't really in the options either. But yeah, it was just, it was one of those situations where it's like, you know, his care partner was just at her wit's end and she was out of cell range because she was doing something for herself and their religious community. And so the fact that she freaked out that he couldn't get ahold of her was really unfortunate. But, you know, and I'm hoping that they learned something, you know, like all of this happened in like 2019 and then we had the pandemic and my mom passed away. It was like, oh, like, it was just, it was like a whole lot happened in a couple of years. But you were talking about violence. And so now we're going to shift back to mom, my mom. And the more we, so we talked a little bit about this, the more help she physically needed. Now, my mom walked fine with no AIDS. She had nothing physically wrong with her either. She had just had Alzheimer's for nearly 20 years. The more help she needed, the nastier she got. She didn't want people to help her. She didn't think she needed help. And if you pressed the wrong way, she literally scratched people and drew blood. So a little bit violent. They were always so surprised because like, oh, she's so easy going. I'm like, you're not talking about my mother. My mother was never easy going. She was, she was a very lovely, nice lady. Did lots of things for the community, loved her family and all that. But don't piss her off because that was a bad idea. And it did not help after Alzheimer's if you pissed her off. So I know we're kind of going back to lack of training, lack of time, lack of staff, which, you know, is actually has gotten worse since my mom passed away. But they never seem to be very good at diffusing the anger that came up kind of quickly. And it was always, it always made me feel so bad when she's, when she drew blood on the gal that took care of her. Because that gal put up with way too much garbage. So it's, go ahead. I was going to say, when you've got somebody who doesn't think they need help, that was the worst with my mom. It's like, you know, and I actually experienced it. We'd come back from, I always took her out. We went and watched kids in the park or whatever. This was what gave her the most joy. And we came back, she needed to use the restroom and she was, you know, she was still fairly continent, but she needed depends, just in case kind of thing. And as we all have happened, you know, her toe gets caught in the elastic and she's grunting and groaning and pissing and moaning, trying to pull the, first off, she crossed her legs and then tried to pull up the, you know, the incontinence underwear. And I'm like, I know exactly what's going to happen if I help her because she's going to get angry at me. And so I let her fuss and fume for a few minutes and I thought, this is ridiculous. And I went in and I said, oh, you just have your toe caught. That happens to me all the time. And I like grimaced and I bent over and I unhooked her toe and I literally backed up and stood up as quick as I could. Thankfully, I did not get smacked. That was what I was expecting. And I left the bathroom. I left her to do the rest of her stuff. She had her clothes back on. She comes back in her room, absolutely spitting mad. And I'm like, you know, this is ridiculous. It's not like I, I didn't even touch her. All I did was unhook the elastic from her toe, which, you know, if she didn't have Alzheimer's, she would have understood that that was the problem. But she was so mad. She was like, right, right, right, people come here. And she stomped out of her room and I thought, okay, well, I guess I'm going to go home now. And she made a circle around. The residents came back in her room. She goes, oh, hi, what are you doing here? I was like, oh, crap. Now we can start the visit all over again. Like, should have left a minute and a half ago. Oh, no. Oh, man. Yeah. So, you know, it's funny. I was actually having this discussion recently. I don't know if you've heard of Dan Salinger. He's pretty big on TikTok, like a really big caregiver on TikTok. I was just interviewing him on my Instagram. And we were talking a little bit about really how memories aren't quite as straightforward as a lot of people initially think. Something I really noticed with a lot of people with dementia, like all kinds of dementia, is that while the dementia stole the information aspect of their memories, and memories are really both comprised of both emotions and information. So you notice that a lot of the emotions behind their experiences would really linger. So, for example, if I'm sure if mom like so my thought when you're talking about mom is it's possible, maybe somebody else pissed her off earlier in the day, and she didn't necessarily hang on to the information of what made her mad earlier, but she was maybe hanging on to the emotion from it. And it's possible that maybe the her toe getting stuck in you helping her. She's like, no one respects me like this is just like the fifth thing that someone's disrespecting me with. And now my daughter's doing it to me like gosh darn it. For emotionally, her it feels like this is I'm just so tired of not having any control over my life, or I'm just so tired of like people telling me what to do all the time, talking to me like I'm a little kid, like just all those are very valid feelings of anger. But since the information gets like poof out of their brains, all it looks like is, wow, they're really overreacting to that being stuck in their pant leg. So sometimes it's not always the easiest to try to discern like, was I the fifth thing that pissed her off? Because she probably won't be able to tell you. But anyways, how I guess Dan and I came through that is he noticed that like maybe when after he got his dad to shower and his dad is mad, the anger would just kind of linger for a few hours afterwards, even when he completely forgotten he even had a shower. So it's just so, yeah, it's so interesting how all that works. It could be both helpful and unhelpful simultaneously as far as them forgetting things or the emotions lingering. So anyways, those are the thoughts I've had. The lack of control, something that she had. So she was the oldest of four kids. And so, you know, she was always responsible for the younger siblings. And I mean, I'm the oldest of two, so I can relate to that. My dad wasn't the easiest person. He, you know, he worked. My mom took care of my sister and I, and he kind of kept control of things. And whenever she wanted to do something, like if she wanted to repaint a room in the house, she'd think about it. She wouldn't talk to anybody, but she'd think about it. And then she would announce, tada, I'm going to do this. It sounded like, literally like it came out of the blue and I knew that it didn't because I think about things and then say, I think we should do X, Y, Z. Like our closet door, it's irritating. And it's like, we're going to put a barn door on here. So I talk about it, then I research it, then I share the research. So I'm not like, bam, we're going to do this. And it sounds coming out of the blue. So I don't think she felt like she had a lot of control, like her whole life since she was a teenager, probably, or maybe younger. Um, you know, like both my grandparents worked. So my, you know, both my uncles were kind of rowdy. She had the rowdy cousin that wound up. So yeah, I don't think she felt like she had a lot of control. So even if it wasn't the fifth thing that pissed her off, even if it was only the second or the third thing that day, yeah, I can totally see where that would have. That would have been an issue. So I've learned so much since she's passed away. It's like, dang, I really wish I'd known this five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's interesting. I find that anytime, regardless if they have dementia or not, if there's like a huge reaction that feels disproportionate to the situation you're in, chances are, it's probably not about you. It's probably about a bunch of other stuff. And it's very much the same with our folks with dementia. And that's usually the fastest way I can get them calmed down from anger is I would say it sounds like there's just a lot of things that are frustrating you here. Let's just go outside and you can just tell me what's on your heart. And usually I was right. There's usually like six different things that were all pretty valid sounding that was pissing them off. And it was really relieving for a lot of them to have someone actually really sit down and listen to them. And it was a very unique position to be in as far as the facility goes. To actually be the person who had a little bit more time to spend with, with my folks to really understand where they were coming from a little bit more. I was really special. And it's really unfortunate because COVID, many of the other things COVID has taken out has also taken out this particular facility as well, which it stinks. But, you know, COVID did a number on all of it and everything on everybody on all the things. I guess I want to circle back real quick when we were talking about the staff and the training and things like that. Something I notice oftentimes just because of maybe because it's just severely underpaid they're asking their folks to do is you and oftentimes you'll find culturally people who maybe came from more of like an authoritarian type parenting background and they see these adults who are acting like children in their eyes. So they almost instinctively go back to like this authoritarian style parenting to these adults. And it just doesn't work. It just it just doesn't work. And that's why, you know, the training is so, so important. But now it's just rough when you live in a country where everything is all about the dollar. Yeah, my so where my mom lived, my husband's a real estate broker and we were talking about this exact topic because the people that did the hands -on carrying on my mom did not get paid worth beans because some of them worked at Starbucks for eight hours and then went and dealt with these, you know, these people with dementias. And like I could barely deal with my mom for two or three hours at a time much. And that was on top of what all the other stuff I did, but I didn't work at Starbucks for eight hours and then come deal with my mom for eight hours. Like, nope, that was outside my abilities. So I always, you know, tried really hard to, like, make their life easier. But the gal that my mom was always drawing blood on, she just worked at the community and she was freaking poor at it, you know. And I had a really good relationship with the executive director. If he was making big bucks, he wasn't spending it. He had an older model Honda Accord. You know, he wore polo shirts and khaki pants, you know, not dissing pennies. I shopped there, but that's kind of where he looked like he shopped. You know, he wasn't wearing suits. And I always, I thought, I don't know how you do this job because you've got the staff to deal with. You've got the residents to deal with. You've got the residents' families to deal with. Like, there are too many people to try to make happy. There's not enough money for you, but somebody's making money. And so I had my husband, like, pull up the property taxes and when the building was built and we, like, kind of assessed, like, their expenses. And it was like, God, I don't know how anybody's making money doing this. And it was expensive. We paid $5 ,600 a month for my mom. And then she moved in March 2017. So every March she was reassessed. The memory care director was very kind. Always, you know, when you kind of got somebody who's in a range of needs, always kind of scaled it to the lower end. And my mom fell, broke her leg, was bed -bound, wheelchair -bound, and she still skewed everything, like, as minimal as she could. And the fee was going from $5 ,600 to $7 ,200. And I've said this a lot. I think my mom had a moment of clarity where she realized there was this COVID thing going on. You know, people were not allowed to come in to the community. We weren't allowed to take them out to go watch kids in the park. She was going to need this wheelchair. The fee was going to, oh, forget it. I'm out. I really seriously think she had that moment because she died March 31st. The new fee was supposed to take place April 1st. So she saved us some money. Yeah. I was like, man, you've done that just right, honey. I mean, and it just, yeah, it just seemed like there just had to have been a moment of clarity. So yeah, it was crazy times. We were very blessed. They let us come in. I saw her the day before she passed away. They called me on the 31st and said, come now. She passed away before we got there. But literally, so this is March 31st, 2020. We're still in the initial stages of quarantine, you know, two weeks to flatten the curve. All that, if you guys remember back then, it's like, I almost forgot that was the beginning of the year, basically sitting at home. No, we were so innocent back then. Yeah, we thought we were doing really good sitting at home, baking sourdough bread. Oh, I was most certainly not doing that at that time. I was working with the ventilation staff. Oh, wow. Oh, so yeah, nope. I was doing my same stuff, but there was 10 of us. So there was my husband and I, my daughter, son -in -law, my sister, her kids and husband, and one, my mom's sister and one brother. And my aunt wore a mask. So this was a little bit before masking because my aunt took care of my grandmother, who had vascular dementia, lived on grandma's social security. So when my grandmother passed away, I don't understand why my family made this choice. Still don't. Well, obviously when my grandmother passed away, my aunt didn't have a career or money. So my aunt lives in subsidized senior housing and she has her own mental health struggles. She obviously knew that maybe wearing a mask was a good idea. And again, great relationship with the executive director, but that man looked like he was about to have a complete stroke because literally there's 10 of us standing outside my mom's room, including two kids. My niece was a teenager and my nephew was almost a teenager. And he never basically said, get the hell out. But it was very obvious on his face. That's what he wanted to say. But a lot of people didn't get to see their loved ones at all. So I felt really blessed and that must've been really, really hard for them.

We are talking about challenging dementia behaviors. And for those of you who know, who have listened long enough, you know, I had a few of those with my mom, so we'll be talking about those and others. So thanks for joining me, Krista. Oh, thanks for having me. So why don't you introduce yourself, tell us about your company, maybe your background with caring for somebody with dementia, and then we'll dive right into the topic. Yeah, absolutely. So I run a platform and a business called Dementia Success Path. The reason I started it is when I was very first getting started with my career, I ended up working in Jerry Psych. And that's where you run into the most challenging of dementia behaviors. That's why they're there at the hospital and my job there as an activity therapist was to provide natural intervention. So what to say and what to do to get them to come to a certain baseline in order for the doctors that work there to really be able to correctly prescribe medication. So anyways, that is how I got into the space. And over the course of many, many years, I cared for thousands of dementia patients with challenging behaviors. Thus, now I help caregivers on the Internet with said challenging behaviors now. So that's that's a little bit about me and my background. Awesome. While you were talking, I remembered a different scenario, so I hope I'm not going to throw this out of left field because this was a really challenging behavior. And I want to keep it as anonymized as possible. So a resident who was very tall, who had been a what do they call like a endurance athlete, did those like endurance marathons for people who are not watching the YouTube video. This is a very I don't want to do that kind of face. And he got very agitated if he couldn't get a hold of his wife on the phone and she was out of cell reception and he got so agitated, he pushed over another resident who broke a hip. We all know what happens when older people break hips. And this was an issue she had with him. It's just like he had obviously greater than average. What is the word? Oh, it's Monday and my brain's not going to work. He just had a ton of energy and he needed people to like take him running or he needed a way of getting rid of the energy. But he was out of stage of his dementia that taking him out wasn't necessarily safe for himself or others. So just off the top of your head, what do you think you would do with that? Just we're going to start off with the hard question first. Yeah, well, so I guess I'd be curious to figure out some of some of the why behind that, because ultimately behavior is just communication. The main thing with most of the dementias, whether it be Alzheimer's or from a temporal or blue body or whatever, is that it takes away language if you stick with the disease process long enough.

And I can't tell you any other way than maybe to shove this over or something like that. So it sounds like a couple of things are there, which is he has a physical need of moving around if that's been a part of his life and that's not being that that could definitely be part of it. The other part is maybe an emotional need that's not being met, which is he's wanting to get a hold of his safe person, the person who he feels gets him and can help orient him. And it's not happening. And I can just feel so overwhelming when you've lost control of everything else in your life with dementia. So as far as tackling those issues, I usually like to start with the physical issue first before I tackle the emotional one. So I understand it could definitely be challenging to get them to maybe run around the block, but I know where I happen to work, we had a pretty substantial backyard area, a garden area that people could walk around or even like a little mini trampoline event. That'd actually be a great idea if you can't move anywhere and he's like, there's nothing physically wrong. He has no mobility issues going on. Just have him bounce on that trampoline and just count it out, like almost treat it like a workout he's having like he might have had in sports or something like that, or maybe run laps a around few times or make it like some type of competition, like he's beating himself with it. So there's all kinds of ways that you can help productively put that energy towards something where it's safer. That was a lot of my job is figuring out how I could safely get these folks needs met so that if things continue to be an issue that then the doctor would come in with, say, like your Ativan or your Seroquel or, you know, whatever, things like that, it's a delicate balance trying if you're a psychiatrist that specializes in geriatrics to really get that right. And he really depended on us trying everything before he gets the medications. We're like, OK, so roughly we probably need this amount. But I was so I'll go there first with getting this physical needs. If he has a lot of energy and he just needs it met, there's there's always a safe way to get it done. It just takes a little bit of creativity and knowing a little bit about his life and his background and what would make the most sense for him. So all that's very important. And then beyond that, the emotional need could be maybe he feels like there isn't anybody else that just sits and talks to him. And I know it's challenging facilities. I get it. I worked in a facility, but at the same point in time, that's really where your let's just say your recreation therapist, your activity director can really be helpful with that. Chances are maybe he could like wall that person's activity planning or something like that could be sitting next to to her him or whatever and help him with these ideas and really building that one on one relationship so that it's not such a desperate bid for that person. You know, ultimately, there's always there's always something you can do. But I hear you. There's always going to be challenges when you're looking at an institutional place with staffing, training, all that type of stuff. But, you know, every single person's different. And it was it was rare when there was ever a person where I'm just like, no, we can't we can't help them. But it was it was very, very, very rare that that would ever be a situation that we find ourselves in. I'm wondering if they actually had gone to a geriatric psychiatrist. I'm thinking no, but I didn't know everything about their situation, obviously. Sure. That probably would have been a really good solution because he'd been in one memory care community and they just I'm not sure they tried very hard. That one used to be a mile down the hill from my home and there was a reason my mom wasn't there. And the one my mom was at, he had been moved there. So the whole incident with the shoving was in the person who got shoved was the parent of a client of my husband. So it was like, it was all the dramas. Yeah, it resolved. It resolved pretty well. I mean, there wasn't lawsuits or everybody was level headed and came to some some agreements that were positive. So that was good because I was like, oh, God, we don't. We're like, do we really need to get lawyers involved? Because, you know, this is just a really ugly situation. But I question whether whether they had a psychiatrist because that might have helped because they did have a really beautiful outside courtyard. I don't know that it would have been enough space. I mean, it was basically the size of an Olympic pool, so he could have run down and back and around. But I'm wondering if he would have felt like like a hamster on a wheel, just kind of going in a circle. But I like the trampoline idea. It depends on the context you're putting it in. It really does. If you're really treating it like, hey, this is, you know, a workout that we're doing together, like a training workout, if he was a big sports guy, then it could make sense for him. It just depends. As far as, I'd say it's unlikely the facility had one. And the reason being is in the place that I worked at, it's a hospital, so it was meant to be short term and that's usually how it goes. Oftentimes we see, rightly so, medication being a very last resort because it could take someone like him who is nothing's physically wrong with him. He's extremely physically active and it could mess with his balance and make it so he becomes a fall risk. So it's almost like you're borrowing from Peter to pay Paul when you're introducing medications. Oftentimes the folks that come to our hospital, they were violent, like they were spitting, they were fighting, hitting people, danger to themselves or others. Like it was very, very extreme situations where they'd be like, OK, like the drugs are like the very last resort to managing this. And I can understand in, you know, memory care or skilled nursing or something like that, it's challenging to have somebody so physically strong around with a bunch of frail people around, for sure. He certainly had quite a few of those. Yeah, he's really tall and then none of the caregivers, most of them, like 99 % of them were women and they weren't, none of them were more than average height. Most of us were pretty, yeah, we're talking like five foot two to five, six or seven at best. So it's not like they had like big, tall, you know, burly women to control him, which, you know, physically controlling him isn't really in the options either. But yeah, it was just, it was one of those situations where it's like, you know, his care partner was just at her wit's end and she was out of cell range because she was doing something for herself and their religious community. And so the fact that she freaked out that he couldn't get ahold of her was really unfortunate. But, you know, and I'm hoping that they learned something, you know, like all of this happened in like 2019 and then we had the pandemic and my mom passed away. It was like, oh, like, it was just, it was like a whole lot happened in a couple of years. But you were talking about violence. And so now we're going to shift back to mom, my mom. And the more we, so we talked a little bit about this, the more help she physically needed. Now, my mom walked fine with no AIDS. She had nothing physically wrong with her either. She had just had Alzheimer's for nearly 20 years. The more help she needed, the nastier she got. She didn't want people to help her. She didn't think she needed help. And if you pressed the wrong way, she literally scratched people and drew blood. So a little bit violent. They were always so surprised because like, oh, she's so easy going. I'm like, you're not talking about my mother. My mother was never easy going. She was, she was a very lovely, nice lady. Did lots of things for the community, loved her family and all that. But don't piss her off because that was a bad idea. And it did not help after Alzheimer's if you pissed her off. So I know we're kind of going back to lack of training, lack of time, lack of staff, which, you know, is actually has gotten worse since my mom passed away. But they never seem to be very good at diffusing the anger that came up kind of quickly. And it was always, it always made me feel so bad when she's, when she drew blood on the gal that took care of her. Because that gal put up with way too much garbage. So it's, go ahead. I was going to say, when you've got somebody who doesn't think they need help, that was the worst with my mom. It's like, you know, and I actually experienced it. We'd come back from, I always took her out. We went and watched kids in the park or whatever. This was what gave her the most joy. And we came back, she needed to use the restroom and she was, you know, she was still fairly continent, but she needed depends, just in case kind of thing. And as we all have happened, you know, her toe gets caught in the elastic and she's grunting and groaning and pissing and moaning, trying to pull the, first off, she crossed her legs and then tried to pull up the, you know, the incontinence underwear. And I'm like, I know exactly what's going to happen if I help her because she's going to get angry at me. And so I let her fuss and fume for a few minutes and I thought, this is ridiculous. And I went in and I said, oh, you just have your toe caught. That happens to me all the time. And I like grimaced and I bent over and I unhooked her toe and I literally backed up and stood up as quick as I could. Thankfully, I did not get smacked. That was what I was expecting. And I left the bathroom. I left her to do the rest of her stuff. She had her clothes back on. She comes back in her room, absolutely spitting mad. And I'm like, you know, this is ridiculous. It's not like I, I didn't even touch her. All I did was unhook the elastic from her toe, which, you know, if she didn't have Alzheimer's, she would have understood that that was the problem. But she was so mad. She was like, right, right, right, people come here. And she stomped out of her room and I thought, okay, well, I guess I'm going to go home now. And she made a circle around. The residents came back in her room. She goes, oh, hi, what are you doing here? I was like, oh, crap. Now we can start the visit all over again. Like, should have left a minute and a half ago. Oh, no. Oh, man. Yeah. So, you know, it's funny. I was actually having this discussion recently. I don't know if you've heard of Dan Salinger. He's pretty big on TikTok, like a really big caregiver on TikTok. I was just interviewing him on my Instagram. And we were talking a little bit about really how memories aren't quite as straightforward as a lot of people initially think. Something I really noticed with a lot of people with dementia, like all kinds of dementia, is that while the dementia stole the information aspect of their memories, and memories are really both comprised of both emotions and information. So you notice that a lot of the emotions behind their experiences would really linger. So, for example, if I'm sure if mom like so my thought when you're talking about mom is it's possible, maybe somebody else pissed her off earlier in the day, and she didn't necessarily hang on to the information of what made her mad earlier, but she was maybe hanging on to the emotion from it. And it's possible that maybe the her toe getting stuck in you helping her. She's like, no one respects me like this is just like the fifth thing that someone's disrespecting me with. And now my daughter's doing it to me like gosh darn it. For emotionally, her it feels like this is I'm just so tired of not having any control over my life, or I'm just so tired of like people telling me what to do all the time, talking to me like I'm a little kid, like just all those are very valid feelings of anger. But since the information gets like poof out of their brains, all it looks like is, wow, they're really overreacting to that being stuck in their pant leg. So sometimes it's not always the easiest to try to discern like, was I the fifth thing that pissed her off? Because she probably won't be able to tell you. But anyways, how I guess Dan and I came through that is he noticed that like maybe when after he got his dad to shower and his dad is mad, the anger would just kind of linger for a few hours afterwards, even when he completely forgotten he even had a shower. So it's just so, yeah, it's so interesting how all that works. It could be both helpful and unhelpful simultaneously as far as them forgetting things or the emotions lingering. So anyways, those are the thoughts I've had. The lack of control, something that she had. So she was the oldest of four kids. And so, you know, she was always responsible for the younger siblings. And I mean, I'm the oldest of two, so I can relate to that. My dad wasn't the easiest person. He, you know, he worked. My mom took care of my sister and I, and he kind of kept control of things. And whenever she wanted to do something, like if she wanted to repaint a room in the house, she'd think about it. She wouldn't talk to anybody, but she'd think about it. And then she would announce, tada, I'm going to do this. It sounded like, literally like it came out of the blue and I knew that it didn't because I think about things and then say, I think we should do X, Y, Z. Like our closet door, it's irritating. And it's like, we're going to put a barn door on here. So I talk about it, then I research it, then I share the research. So I'm not like, bam, we're going to do this. And it sounds coming out of the blue. So I don't think she felt like she had a lot of control, like her whole life since she was a teenager, probably, or maybe younger. Um, you know, like both my grandparents worked. So my, you know, both my uncles were kind of rowdy.
Game of Crimes
A highlight from 122: Part 1: Jim Lawler Recruits Spies, Chases Nukes, and Tracks Bioweapons for CIA
"I'd like to do an intro, but I can barely see, because Murph's face looks like the surface of the sun. Yeah, baby. I got a little color. I got my vitamin D today. You got your vitamin S for sunburn, man. Let's see. Can't tell from my arms. Yeah, my arms. Ah, a little bit. You got a little bit. Anyway, hey, guys. Welcome to Episode 122, Game of Crimes. I am Morgan. This is... Murph. Hey, everybody. What were you doing? Just before... I mean, we're recording this on a Sunday, because I was tied up all week, and I'll tell you about that in a second, but you were doing something pretty awesome. You sent me a video. Oh, yeah. We got to go to the Orlando Air Show, and the stars were the Air Force Thunderbirds. I haven't seen them since I was a kid. I've seen the Blue Angels several times, but I haven't seen them since I was a kid in Tennessee. But just going to the Air Show just makes you so frickin' proud of our military and what they can do. They had an F -35 there that just... Oh, my gosh. It was a lady pilot, and she had that thing. I mean, she could turn that thing on a dime. She's come through at symphersonic speeds. They didn't break the sound barrier, because they didn't want to hurt everybody's ears, but when she would come through, you know how you get that vapor coming off the jet? Yeah. We got some pictures of that coming through. Then they had the F -18 Super Hornet with those things, screams as well. They brought that thing through at less than 100 miles an hour, and it was kind of almost at a 45 -degree angle, like it was dancing in front of you, and that engine was just screaming, just growling at you. And then the Thunderbirds, twice, you get focused in on the four main diamond formation, and then one of them will sneak up behind you and just scream through at about a bazillion miles an hour and just make you crap your pants. The second time, you know, that's the first time everybody laughs, and then everybody's watching. Well, then all of a sudden, he sneaks in again and gets you a second time, and that one I even ducked when he came through. Tell you what, it makes you think twice. If you want to be a bad guy or girl out there or a terrorist, it's like death from above, man. Oh, my gosh. It just makes you so freaking proud of our military. It really does. I can see why they do that. Yeah. Well, I had an exciting weekend. I wasn't going quite as fast, though. Yeah? No, I did. It's called the Great Pumpkin Ride. I did 64 miles. They had a 24 -49 and a 64, so I did the 64 -mile ride. Where did you have to go for that? Down in Warrenton. So Fauquier County, beautiful. It was a perfect day. Temperatures started out at about 65, went up to 80. It's peak color. It was just beautiful riding through there. It was a fun time. It's been a while because of COVID and everything else. I was supposed to do some century rides, 100 -mile rides. This one's called a metric century. It's 64 miles. But you voluntarily rode 64 miles on a bike? Damn skippy, man. Can you sit down in a regular chair right now? What do you think I'm doing? I'm bouncing around. I'm fun. Hey, it's like anything else. It's like firearms. Anything else. If you just train, you train, you train. So this was fun, though. I just got my bike back. I had it all completely worked over, new gears, the whole work. So it's like this thing was brand new. It was great to go out there and ride. It was fun, though. There's lots of people out there. It's a good time. But what was funny is all these people that you start off, it's like one thing I've learned at my age, it's kind of like no need for speed, man, just steady state. Just keep going. All these young whippersnappers who go flying past you, I ended up passing a lot of them towards the end as they're just dragging ass because they were trying to impress everybody and I'm going steady state. I averaged about 17 miles an hour. It was 2 ,800 feet of climb going down and up. One of the hills, if you're into biking, was 8%. That was a bitch, I'm telling you. And to go through all that and come home with biker's ass. No, I tell you what, I got some good new bibs, you know what they call bibs and stuff. So it's all good anyway, but here we are pontificating about that when we need to get to our facility. But this was just a fun weekend. You had fun. It was.

OK, I want to be very, very clear about that tomorrow. We have Peachy Keenan coming on, not her real name, but she's I believe she's a real person. She is amazing and funny, but that's tomorrow. Abe Hamilton with the American Family Association talked about a great organization. That's an hour or two tomorrow. The thing I was going to say about Peachy, by the way, she lives in California. So sadly, I feel like she's a you know, she's a a test subject and the great, awful science project of California at the moment. So it's good. Unbelievable. That's so that's tomorrow. Then the other day I interviewed the tallest man ever, literally seven feet tall. John Dislan will play that next week. But we're going to get that video out today or tomorrow because you simply need to see how tall he is because it will freak you out. And then honestly, the video will be going up today.

We don't have insurance for your computer, but that's how big he is. Seven feet tall. He walked into the room and I I blanched for a moment. It was like a slightly frightening for a second. And then I realized he's a nice guy, but gigantic. He was what is he like 360 pounds? He's like so gigantic. I mean, I don't know. Yeah, he's 360, maybe 362, maybe 362. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're scoring at home, write it down 362. But he's definitely the tallest guest I've ever interviewed and the tallest guest I will ever interview because we need to put a cap on it. Chris, you're the producer. We drew a line in the sand. And our our hands were quivering while we did it, but we drew it. Yeah, I don't think we need to go any taller because the oxygen is thin up there. And I just don't need that. It's just too much. So but that's that video is going up. And again, folks, we're on rumble. The show is on rumble since YouTube kicked us off because we're so evil. But but the show is on rumble.

Spider-Dan And The Secret Bores
A highlight from Top 5 Witch Movies W/ Lucy Jane Devane & Scott Hodgson
"What's next for you guys then? Maleficent Oh, interesting Interesting choice So do we need to say that We realise that in some circles She's technically Could be cast as a fairy But we think she's a sorceress That's what puts a curse on In the original Sleeping Beauty She's more of a sorceress And she curses the baby I think in some circles There's the succubus Which is the seductive Half demon Or partial demon And I think there's a lot of witches Who are part demon anyway So I think it's kind of all in the same wheelhouse I'll allow it Excellent I really wasn't expecting To like this as much as I did I was quite surprised I'm not a big fan of Sleeping Beauty It's one of the Disney films I wouldn't watch Normally, if it's on There's some like The Lion King Sword in the Stone Pinocchio If it's on, then you'd watch the remainder of it But yeah, Sleeping Beauty Never caught my eye I think Lucy was watching this With her next door neighbour About five, six years ago Ah yes Maybe he was locked out Possibly I think maybe he Sort of saw it on Netflix or something I think he likes Disney He does like Disney films So we were having a bit of a weekend So we thought we'd give it a shot And yeah, it was really good Obviously Angelina Jolie Playing Maleficent And I think she does a brilliant job And it kind of looks like she's having a whale At the time as well Obviously very striking with her cheekbones I think it's With the Disney remakes Recently, they've got Very lazy with them But this, they actually tried something different So obviously, she's the evil Witch in the original But then they've twisted it So we see her backstory Why she is the way she is But then, she's not portrayed As an evil witch She Evil does things, but she also does Good things as well So yeah They put a twist on the original Film which I think they've sort of lost their Lost their balls with all the recent remakes That they've been doing and they've just been Copy and pasting it But yeah, I really didn't expect to like it As much as I did I think there's a real Beautiful element that is that I don't know if it's kind of that Adopted kind of Thing is that you can You can still love someone Or something, even though they're not your own Like they're not your child But she kind of cares for This baby She sort of starts calling it Beastie, which I really kind of like But she can't help herself She can't help herself but care for her And she sees the kind of The kind of haphazard fairies Sort of just making a bit of a hash of it And leaving the baby outside And you know She's watching over her as she grows Up and she's At arms length kind of caring for The baby and watching it grow And then this love sort of Builds and I just think that's a really Powerful thing but You can have so much love For someone who Isn't your You know, you're blood essentially And I think that for me is And it actually makes me cry This film When we know She kind of gets to the end I think it's just so clever how It just flips everything on its head Of what we know about When we were watching Disney films and it's always like The prince kisses The princess and everything Is perfect And actually it just kind of flips all of that On its head and Prince Charming Isn't true love's kiss Sorry spoiler alert You should probably just Spoilers for Maleficent But She's just And I think as well I love that she's The queen of the fairy world In her own right she's got her power And her place and her magic And this kind of stuff And it's when these two worlds collide a little bit But it does, yeah, it kind of makes me cry Maleficent, it's a real Real beautiful moment when You know, it's that kind of True love I guess, it's really sweet That unconditional love I suppose But I like that, I like that again Like you said, it flips it It's not the stereotypical like, oh here comes the bloke Here he comes to save the day It's not the man's story It's this story of kind of Genuine, kind of female Feminine, non romantic love And you see Her kind of melt Because initially she's very nice And then she's robbed of her wings And again she becomes hard Bitter and twisted So much so she's like, curse that child You know, but then even then In this version it's very much like If I remember rightly in the Sleeping Beauty version It's the fairies that stop it From being a death curse But this, she changes her own mind And goes actually, she'll just sleep She'll sleep forever And then like you said, the fairies are A little bit like, a bit useless In the Sleeping Beauty one But then they expand that And make them even more useless than this To give Maleficent her Kind of, her power I guess But I think Angelina Jolie is great in this I think it's one of her stand out performance She clearly cared about the character In this interpretation And like you said, she's putting on all the camp She's loving It's delicious for her She's living deliciously In this film, like she's absolutely loving it Especially towards the end I think it's all her costume changes And it's this sort of like tight black leather piece Oh I bet you like that Scott And then she sort of gets her wings back I really There's like a real, almost like a bit of a Marvel moment Yeah absolutely It feels like a Marvel movie She goes from wearing like dresses To when she gets her wings back And she's in that kind of great hall And she just kind of stands up And you just see her in this like So all of a sudden she's wearing like Head to toe kind of black leather But she's got pants as in like trousers on She's not wearing a dress And these wings sort of This silhouette and she just kind of like rises up And takes everybody out And I was just, said to you I was like, oh it's like, that for me She is like, she's a badass It's great It's definitely going with that vibe She's the hero of this tale And absolutely she's powered up again She's found who she is She knows what she's fighting for She's found herself She's not this evil, dark She does try and lift the curse But she knows it's like a permanent curse There's that moment where she's like, shit it's not working So yeah, I enjoy this as well It's a really good fit We all have a lot of Yeah, a lot of respect for Maleficent It's great I do kind of wish she'd turned into the dragon there Like in the original Yeah, I was sort of waiting for that moment I can understand why they changed it And I guess they don't want this woman to I guess maybe calling a woman a dragon Is kind of an insult I guess Or maybe like a sexist insult So maybe that's why they were like, no she's a fairy She's more angelic She's got horns and everything I don't know I guess she needs someone to talk to That's why the crow became a man I guess I felt that for me Again, it's not his story He's just kind of there He's like, oh I'm the friend, I'm the crow It doesn't really add much to me And Sharto Copley He's not got much dimension to him really I don't think And then his accent's a bit iffy Who's this? The king The king Maybe not his best I was a bit disappointed That accent is like Yeah, all over the show But yeah, Maleficent is the star of the show We were also reading about how there's a little scene Where you have Aurora as a little toddler And the actors that they had for that Who were four or five Wouldn't go near Angelina Jolie in her outfit So in the end they had to use her daughter That little scene where There's only a few minutes Not even that But I mean, she's pretty terrifying Toddlers get a little bit nervous I might not be scared But I'd definitely be intimidated by Angelina Jolie In any form With those horns You can imagine her being pretty scary I thought that was quite cool I quite like the moment as well where she's like Do you know who I am? Do you know what I did to you? Do you know what the story is between me and your dad? And she's like Of course I know who you are, you're my fairy godmother Which is like Well, no But she perceives her that way And that's one of the things that makes her Because she has been watching over her throughout her whole life And she has picked up on that She's magical She's a fairy Makes sense Excellent choice So next up Will be The Old Ways from 2020 So again I've looked at another film From a different part of the world And looking at how they view Witches and witchcraft The Old Ways is a 2020 film And it's about a young reporter Who lived in this Vera Cruz In this jungle area in Mexico On the outskirts And she lived there but her mum was possessed by a demon Or had a horrible medical condition Skeptic Scott Whatever you want to see it as And then she died And she moved away to the city and grew up there She then became a reporter And a drug addict And now she's coming back home To meet her cousin And just kind of find her roots again And investigate some stuff And just do some reporting About the kind of local culture And things and maybe superstitions and stuff She visits a cave Her cousin says Do not fucking go there And she comes out of it And she's been possessed by a demon Now has she been possessed by a demon? Hard to say at the beginning She is chained up in this hut And she's been taken care of By a bruja Which is kind of the Mexican form of the witch Or the name for a witch And she is attempting To exorcise this demon And her son is helping her She's this very old woman half blind And she's basically Torturing her, making her drink this goat milk Like force feeding her goat milk And hurting her Putting needles and pins and stuff in her And the woman just doesn't understand She doesn't get it She's like I don't believe in this stuff This isn't me Well you've forgotten who you are You've forgotten what happened to your mother You've forgotten the old ways You've forgotten our culture Your heritage You're very westernised And you view the world very scientifically And now it's come to haunt you So in this film not only is she fighting An actual demon that's Possessioning her But she's fighting those personal demons she has And that trauma about her mother And what happened there And it's really It's really quite interesting Kind of seeing the Again a different side of that And again these characters in the beginning The Bruja and the son That's assisting are kind of You're looking at them as villains Because you're like I don't believe in this shit I'm just on drugs, I'm fine It's fine, it's just drugs But they're like no no There's something inside you There's an evil inside you It's wanting to get out And then they kind of bar her up There's all this stuff on the walls And they have to try and pinpoint which kind of Demon it is and work out What the problem is and how to get it out of there And what they've got it And then she studies it and starts learning about it as well Going like she starts to Buy into it and believe it But then she's trying to escape as well Trying to get a phone, trying to call her boss So it's kind of A witch film meets Kind of a exorcist film In a way so there's a lot of this Going on but I like how The sceptic of the star becomes More and more kind of Understands more and knows more And kind of appreciates What they're doing.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Mike Gallagher Week in Review for Friday, October 20, 2023
"Welcome to The Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast. I'm Eric Hansen. This is Friday, October 20th, 2023. It's been a busy week, and of course, the demonstrations picked up steam this week as Americans took side in the Israeli -Palestinian conflict. Disturbingly, the pro -Palestinian supporters showed up in numbers in places like Harvard University, as well as many other college campuses. These pro bizarre -Hamas protests that we've seen break out all over the world, particularly in London. Did you see London over the weekend? A lot of European capitals. What's going on over there? And if they have people who say, hey, the Palestinian people have some grievances too. Okay. But it's almost pro, almost it's decidedly pro -terrorism. It's pro -Hamas. Yes. Hey, let me break this down for you. If you're pro -Hamas, you're pro -terrorist. Because there was Joe Biden yesterday saying, well, sort of the extremist element of Hamas doesn't represent, there is no non -extremist element of Hamas. Yeah. I mean, how do you have proportionality over something like this? Andrew McCarthy wrote a great column over the weekend in the New York Post, what proportionality really means in Israel's about the need for proportionality. Oh, really? So should Israel limit itself to raping the precise number of women as Hamas did? Should we just kill precisely the same amount of babies in Gaza as they did? Or elderly non -combatants and young peace concert revelers? What in the hell, pardon my language, the hell is going on with the world and progressives and now progressives calling on us taking in Gaza refugees? I think I'm going to throw this out to you. And I could be dead wrong on this, but, but this is the only thing that makes sense. Anti -Semitism. It has to be a hatred of the Jewish people. And it has to be okay. If a progressive says, if I got to take a side between a Jew and a terrorist, I'm going to side with the terrorist. What else explains it, Mark? There's only one other thing, because I spent a lot of time thinking about this as well. What drives hate? What guides, I mean, what is the reason for hating Jews? The reason for hating blacks, the reason for hating whites, the reason for hating Hispanics, the reason for hating Mormons, whatever. What drives it? And anti -Semitism has historically been, I think a lot of it about envy, a lot of it about suspicion. A lot of it, there are a lot of ancient gripes that might go into people's desire not to process today. But I think some of this is the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or the friend of my enemy is my enemy. Meaning that since, you ever hear Donald Trump say that conservative Christians care more about Israel than a lot of American Jews do? And by the way, he's right about that. So if indeed conservative Christianity is one of the most pro Israeli contingents to be found today, the American left is going to oppose anything that conservative Christians. They must run from that. They must run and you're right. They must say, well, I can't be on the side of what conservatives. Now I will tell you this, a lot of the media, a lot of the American media has been very pro Israel throughout all of this. Bill Maher had a great deal of clarity over this. And yet you still see this weird penchant for proportionality. You know, of course the battle isn't with the Gaza people, the people of Gaza, but Hamas is using the people of Gaza as human shields, including hostages, including some Americans. Mike had a chance to catch up with his friend, podcaster, author, and filmmaker Dinesh D 'Souza this week. His latest movie Police State is coming out and he talked about it on the show. 72 % of likely US voters are concerned that America is becoming a police state. Dinesh, this has happened pretty rapidly. Don't you agree that this has only been within the last few years that we've seen these incredible abuses of the justice system and the judicial system and law enforcement? This has not been years and years and years in the making, has it? Well, the germs of it do go back to the aftermath of 9 -11 when many people, I think Mike, you included, me included, said to the US government, we're willing to grant you these expanded surveillance powers, these expanded police powers, but of course in the expectation that they will be used against foreign terrorists who are trying to kill us, people like the Hamas terrorists that you've been talking about. Now, I think under the Obama administration, there was a shift in which these police agencies of government said, we have all this power, but there's no reason that we have to simply limit it to foreign terrorists. How about if we start going after some domestic political opponents? Now, that began slowly under Obama in kind of an unprecedented period in the last two years. There's been a tremendous escalation so that the FBI and the police agencies have turned their attention to what they now call domestic extremists. And I think this is part of the reason that the US intelligence agencies were clueless about the Hamas attack, because they're not focusing on foreign terrorists anymore. They're focusing on some 70 -year -old grandma who strolled into the Capitol for 10 minutes on January 6th. You know, one of the most high -profile examples of a police state, it seems to me, is when we witnessed in the early morning hours law enforcement raiding Mar -a -Lago, the residence of the 45th President of the United States. We have seen such egregious abuses in the guise of stopping him from becoming reelected. We all know what's going on here, but it seems to me that more and more Americans, Dinesh, are able to recognize what Trump is experiencing, and they're saying to themselves, if they can do this to Donald Trump, they sure as heck can do this to me. Police states, Mike, tend to be one -party states. And that doesn't mean that they don't have any opposition, and it doesn't mean they don't have elections. China has elections. Iran has elections. But the opposition is always controlled. It's subordinate to the regime. Now, with Trump, if they had said that this is unprecedented, but guess what? We've found that he took some classified documents. He pugnaciously held onto them. He refused to turn them back. So we're going to make a single charge against him. But the fact, Mike, that you're dealing with 90 -plus charges and decades and decades in prison, it's very obvious they're using a shotgun approach. Let's get them in DC. If we can't get them in DC, maybe in Florida. If not in Florida, maybe in Georgia. If not in Georgia, then in New York. If we can't get them on the criminal stuff, we'll get them on civil stuff and wreck his business. I mean, this is classic police state thuggery. And we're seeing it blatantly before our eyes. And of course, Dinesh's new movie, Police State, comes out next week. You know, we talked about all the pro -Hamas supporters on college campuses, which got us wondering about those students. They'll all need a job after graduation, right? So would you hire a Hamas supporter at your company? Hi, Jackie. Welcome to The Mike Gallagher Show in the Relief Factor studios. How are you today? I'm good. Thank you. I'm a small company owner down here in Southwest Missouri. And I have to say, I wouldn't hire these kids for sure. And the reason, yes, they're protesting for Palestine. But the problem is it really shows a disconnect with reality. They don't have any ability to research or find their own opinion. They just listen to whatever somebody tells them to think. And that's not somebody I want in my company. If you drop these kids off in Israel and they had to look, like really look at what happened, I guarantee you they're going to think differently. But they've been so sheltered. They've been so sheltered for any type of suffering or any reality. It's just a movie to them, just TV. It's not real. It's like a video game. They don't really realize that young women were raped brutally raped. One of the women carried away as a hostage. You've seen the video. And she has blood all over her pants from where she was raped viciously by these monsters. The videos have been confirmed and the pictures were confirmed of the murdered babies.

Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Basics_10: How Bitcoin COULD Fail
"There threats, are there are underlying currents, there are underlying themes that may very well put a threat to this into the future. If it does form a large portion of your portfolio, you have to do the work. To buy this thing and just park it away and not keep your finger on the pulse is just irresponsible in my mind. Not what you don't know that hurts you, it's what you know that just ain't so. I think one of the biggest threats to Bitcoin is actually ourselves. It's not all these external threats. There's making a change to the Bitcoin code that ultimately opens up an attack vector that compromises Bitcoin. This is the Blue Collar Bitcoin podcast, a show where Average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin, we talk finance and we talk shit. Welcome in, folks. We are back for part 10 of our Bitcoin basic series. Josh and myself, Dan, are joined as usual by Daz and Seb. It's been a downright privilege doing this basic series alongside these two wildly intelligent and thoughtful dudes. We have details in the notes about where to stay in touch with their work and be sure to get a copy of their book B is for Bitcoin, The Essential Guide to All Things Bitcoin. In this book, these two eloquently cover many of the concepts we've hit throughout this collection of conversations. Although on this show we regularly like to throw in healthy doses of steel manning, we've spent the vast majority of our first hundred and twenty nine episodes, as well as the first nine parts of this basic series, exploring the boundless reasons why Bitcoin is prone to succeed, grow in its adoption and accrue value. This week, we flip that script and in this hour and a half, we explore viable threats to the Bitcoin protocol and network reasons it could be delayed, underachieve or fail. Now, I'll be dead honest. This really isn't basics material. If you're newer to Bitcoin and or haven't listened to the first nine parts of this series, or you just haven't spent considerable time studying Bitcoin, then I'll recommend you shelve this episode and come back to it. Much of what the four of us say and what's upcoming may seem blasphemous to the hardcore Bitcoiner. And that's the fucking point. We want to trigger the hell out of you. If any one of us feels captivated and enamored by an idea, a perspective, a group, an ideology, a movement, a religion or an asset, then real intellectual integrity necessitates we drop the shallow certainty, escape the black and white, embrace the gray and engage with responsible counterargument. Nothing is a guarantee, Bitcoin included. Dare to put your big boy or big girl pants on and play the inversion alongside us. As the philosopher Daniel C. Dennett once said, seek out the arguments that make your own position uncomfortable. The truths that have made it through the crucible of critical analysis and experiential testing are the best we have. A couple other quick items before we sling this one. Folks, get a cold card. If you have a cold card, well, then you likely realize you want another one. You can use code BCB. That's code BCB for a delicious discount on these wondrous pieces of hardware. And visit our Coinkite link down in the notes for discounts on a variety of Coinkite products, including the block locks. These hardware wallets or signing devices are the best in the business. They're secure as hell, chock full of useful features, and they just simply work. You can also use code BCB for 10 percent off tickets to the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville next July. These tickets will only go up in price moving forward. So if you're going, why not avoid wasting precious sats and get them ticks today? Lastly, open enrollment is upon us. If you have health care needs or health care bills and you want to save money while supporting people rather than large insurance companies, check out CrowdHealth at joincrowdhealth .com and use code blue for a significant three month trial discount. OK, sit back, relax and enjoy getting triggered.
What a Weird Week
A highlight from What a Weird Week Canadian Thanksgiving Special: Ten Ten Again! Fri. Oct. 6, 2023
"What a weird week Canadian Thanksgiving special 1010 again Hi friends, I'm Scott and this is what a weird week a show about the weird news that happened this week for show notes and More visit show notes dot page. That's show notes dot page It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, but instead of taking the week off or even posting a rerun Please enjoy this 10 10 episode where we revisit 10 Former number 10 entries from this podcast and see how they hold up now So here comes season 4 episode 54 10 10s for Thanksgiving first published on Friday, October 6 2023 10 kicking off the top 10 this week number 10 from March 24th 2023 the headline was bonkers carrot caper This happened at the Clearview Mall in Pennsylvania where police caught the suspects charges at the time were Expected pending two people stole a giant foam carrot and a pinata from a mall Easter display in March of this year and when they took off a Security guard was dragged by the getaway truck for around a quarter mile. No one was hurt Thankfully police located the large carrot and the Easter pinata at a home And at the time we hoped there would be some sort of Hollywood treatment because no one got hurt We were like, maybe this should be a movie. All right, how does that one stack up long story short it holds up We haven't had any other giant foam carrot Theft stories on this weird news podcast since that happened in March This is our only weird Easter caper story So that one holds up the follow -up on this is they named the two fellows an 18 year old and a 20 year old And they said they would be charged at a future date They also said because of the nature of the crime they wouldn't be taken into custody. Oh, they were both visiting from, Texas So the anonymous tip came in they found them at a house. The two fellows were visiting from, Texas When they said the nature of the crime, I think what they mean right is it was more of a prank No one got hurt. Although that security guard did get dragged for around a quarter mile behind the getaway vehicle But they weren't taken into custody and then that story goes cold I don't know the follow -up is kind of open -ended what happened next The story just went cold after that 10. The next number 10 was from March 31st of this year It was about the fella the 91 year old fella who crossed the Grand Canyon It's around 24 miles to hike from one edge of the Grand Canyon down through to the other edge This took five days 91 year old fellow named John did it and he got in the Guinness Book of World Records He is the oldest person to ever cross the Grand Canyon. This one holds up no, 92 year old was waiting in the wings to break this record, I guess or hasn't done it yet. So John is still the World record holder is the oldest person to cross the Grand Canyon at the time I remember treating this like an inspirational news story something You know if you've always dreamed of getting in the Guinness Book of World Records But you can never seem to get it right you could never get that Rubik's Cube solved or you know cross the Grand Canyon There are still opportunities as you get older this one You can train until you're 92 years old and then attempt to beat the world record So this one holds up and still inspirational You Are listening to what a weird week It's a show that leans into the weirdness 10 our next entry in our 10 10s Thanksgiving special is from April 7th of this year. How young is the world's youngest published author? That's weird And we went from the oldest person to cross the Grand Canyon one week and the next week We kicked off the show with the young author this was a story about that boy from the United Arab Emirates four years old four years and 218 days old and has a published book called the elephant sayeed and the bear The book is about kindness and an elephant and a polar bear and it is officially a Guinness World Record This person the youngest published author You have to have at least a thousand copies sold to have an official Guinness World Record as a published author this book sold more than a thousand copies and Guinness World Record This story holds up. No one younger than four years old has published a book. Come on slackers. What's going on? In writing three -year -olds to sorry to this one. I did I remember at the time I was maybe in a bad place that week I remember thinking wow once you start kindergarten once you're five years old Strolling into the kindergarten class if you don't have a published book You've failed already because a four -year -old did it That one was not a great take on my behalf. I would say for the aspiring writers When you crunch the numbers the demographics of this the people who listen to this program it cuts off at a certain age So you don't know how many five -year -olds are listening to this podcast But I want to apologize to any five -year -olds listening who want to be a writer and I was like you might as well quit You didn't get the world record. That was a terrible thing to say Continue to pursue your dreams five -year -olds, please continue to write stay with it Let's end on that message 10 next up was our story from April 14th of this year How short is pearl the Chihuahua the shortest dog in the world? And so just to recap from the ground up pearl the pooch is 3 .59 inches tall a little bit taller than 3 .25 or half of a dollar bill or a little bit taller than a credit card Also a can of soup is taller than pearl the pooch Pearl is about as long as a dollar bill five inches long weighs a little bit more than a pound Does this story hold up turns out pearl the Chihuahua was? Actually a person in a suit. It was all fake you guys.

Are they still weird? Is it all still a real thing? Did it really happen? Will we be disgraced by reporting something that was completely fake at the time so far so good The next one is how fast can you this one doesn't hold up you guys spoiler alert? How fast can you drink are you ready to set a world record a German man shattered the this is from April? 21st of this year when the German fellow shattered the Capri Sun speed drinking world record 10 .41 seconds finished an entire Capri Sun drink. These are the ones where if you don't have Capri Sun where you're at it's a Bag of drink and you stab it with that pointy straw and you drink the thing Well, that was a nice record while it lasted but just last week We talked about the fellow who now has a Capri Sun speed drinking record of under 10 seconds Eight point something seconds to finish an entire Capri Sun So this story does not hold up from April to last week It was a record but now there's a new champ in town 10 next up from April 28th of 2023 Nudists will feel naked and exposed if cable car over nude beach goes ahead This was a story we had in April from Vienna Where there was a plan for a cable car route to pass over a beach frequented by nudists and it was not a popular thing amongst the nudists a Nudist named Barbara was quoted in the story I don't want to end up on the internet 72 year old Barbara said The developer said the cable car will pass over the beach for hardly any time at all The cable car windows could be the kind that switch to non see -through when the cable car gets close to the beach Anyway, that was the story in April. How does this one hold up at the time? I remember I was like everyone calm down. Keep your pants on nudists. I was very proud of that joke I remember so does it hold up? The last thing I can find about this is from a blogger who says in their blog post not sure if it's a sure thing yet or still in the Possibly could happen stage. So there's not a lot yet. I mean these projects sometimes they take a while You got to get approval. You got to get money all of that and then you got to calm down the nudists There's a lot happening behind the scenes no doubt, but there's not a lot of follow -up yet on this one I've found some video of non nude variety and I will post that in the updated show notes a Weekly countdown of Weirdy McWeird stuff This is the what a weird week show 10 next is from May 5th of 2023 Our number 10 that episode was freaky foot world record. Do not attempt This was about the lady named Kelsey who said a Guinness World Record for her freaky footwork Basically, she can point one foot forwards and the other foot backwards Kelsey is a librarian from New Mexico. Her official world record is most foot rotation for a female She discovered this world record ability at her library when the new Guinness Book of World Records came out She's flipping through she saw the foot record in there and she was like, I wonder if I could do that She did and she could get more Flexibility or more whatever She could be going in both directions more. So however you word it. I'm not sure anyway, this story holds up this one is still a Guinness World Record and Please if you're going to attempt it stretch consult a physician I just feel like you could try this one Maybe you're having a couple of wobbly pops or something at a Canadian Thanksgiving party this weekend And you're like, I'm gonna try that world record and you haven't warmed up enough or whatever Maybe your feet would stick that way.

That was our headline from May the company in Israel has 3d printed fish It's not meal ready fish you print it out and then you have to cook it fish fillet they start with lab -grown grouper fish and They turn that into some sort of edible filament for a 3d food printer That was kind of how I described it at the time I you know, it's oversimplification But you get the picture lab -grown printable fish could save the environment could save real fish could save all of us Like the other lab -grown meats they're trying to get enough food for everyone Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone all of the humans had enough to eat that would be good, right? They said they wanted this to be available for purchase next year at the time. I described it as white goo It looks like white goo. I stand by that. It does look like white goo and how does it taste? Well, unfortunately our website when you click our show notes, we do not have that capability I know I should be upgrading to Squarespace. I get it. But right now our show notes blog Does not have lick the screen capabilities so that you can taste what the printable fish would taste like So is this story fishy or does it hold up? I say it holds up I mean, we're still at the place where they're trying to get regulatory approval get through all the hoops You got to jump through and then by the end of 2024, they hope to have it available You know, you could have it on your plate by next year.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Are Conservatives Not Listening To The American People When It Comes To Kevin McCarthy Being House Speaker?
"This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is the Mike Gallagher Show. The DOJ has told Letitia James to make my father's life hell, to keep him tied up in a courtroom, to cost him tens and tens of millions of dollars to distract him. I have a lot of advice for my house colleagues, other than this, follow your heart, but take your brain with you. The best option I think we have is Jim Jordan, the Ohio senator. Now, from the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. Man, I knew people were going to be upset over what happened with Kevin McCarthy, but people are taking this so personally and it's, I hate, I hate to be the adult in the room here. Put your big boy pants on and move on. Let's get another speaker elected. It may very well be Jim Jordan and I'm hoping it is. Do you know what Democrats, what keeps them up at night having to, having to tangle with speaker of the house, Jim Jordan, do you know what a warrior he is? I don't love the removal of Kevin McCarthy. I don't, they're calling it chaos. Spare me the chaos nonsense. It's a disruption. It's an inconvenience. It's a distraction. It's momentary. This is a blip in time. Guess what? Guess what? We're going to get over this and then we're going to beat the Democrats in 2024 because the Democrats, the Democrats are wrecking America and everybody knows it. But the whining and the belly aching and the attacks, the personal attacks on Matt Gaetz and Nancy Mace and I admit I'm surprised by her vote. I don't want to spend too much time on this, but I saw her, a clip of her on CNN last night. She basically said, yeah, I'm fundraising. Yeah, I need support. They're coming at me from all sides and I'm, I'm representing the views of my constituents. What a crazy concept. We got a poll up at mikeonline .com just asking people if you favor the ouster of Kevin McCarthy or not. It's about 80 % yes, 78 I think to be exact, 78 % of the hundreds and hundreds of people who participated in the poll at mikeonline .com have said yes. I wonder if Nancy Mace was able to pull her district because I guarantee you most of her constituents, here's what, here's what the, my dear friends on the right don't understand. They don't seem to recognize the vast majority of our base, of our audience, of our voters, of our tribe, admittedly are perfectly fine with this. You're going to complain about speaker, Jim Jordan, give me a break. But I'm telling you, this is personal to them. You got to hear an exchange between Brian Kilmeade on Fox news. Now this guy, I tell you what, I guess he's turned on Trump. I don't know. I don't, I don't like picking few, picking fights with people in broadcasting. We all have enough challenges as it is. But what I witnessed yesterday in an exchange between the Fox news channels, Brian Kilmeade and Congressman Tim Burchette of Tennessee was as disgraceful an exchange as anything I've ever seen on that network. I'm going to play this for you and I want to get your reaction to find, I want you to tell me what you make of a supposed conservative broadcaster mocking a Congressman for acknowledging that he prayed before what had to be a very difficult vote. Listen to this. And then I want your reaction. Do you think it's going to do for the Republican party and chances of holding onto leadership in the majority when it looks like you're having, you're the ringleader of a circus led by Matt Gaetz who likes to blow things up but not offer any new ideas? Are you happy following Matt Gaetz? Is that your leader? I'm not following Matt Gaetz. I made my own decision. I didn't ask Matt Gaetz to challenge. You wouldn't get a challenge. Do what? If Matt Gaetz didn't stand up, you weren't going to challenge. You know that. I believe I, I believe I would have. Oh, come on. And there, and there. Oh, well, please, you know, playing about it one minute, the next minute you're going to lead an insurgency. So you don't think that praying about it's important. Is that what you're saying? One minute you're praying about how you're going to vote with Matt Gaetz. And the next minute you're going to lead an insurgency? Listen, you got a predetermined answer to everything. No, I have an opinion about what's going on. Do you have an opinion too? And you talk over me every time I try to make a point. Make your point. The point is, is that we're $33 trillion in debt. This speaker was woefully, woefully lacking in leadership skills. He always placed the blame somewhere else. America is going to be better off with new leadership. And that's the bottom line. And who is it? Possibly, possibly it could be Steve Scalise. It could be Elise Stefan. It could be Roger Williams out of Texas. It could be Mark Green out of Tennessee. So they all supported, they all supported Kevin McCarthy, including the most conservative guy. I know Jim Jordan. Why are you smarter than Jim Jordan and the 210 plus Republicans? Why are you smarter? I represent my district, brother. And why are you smarter than me? You're condemning me because I stand up on my own. And that's, that's what I do. I'm not condemning you. I'm questioning you. You don't like being questioned? You're, no, you're just, you're, the line of questioning is very negative and you know that. And I know that you, and when this is all over with, when this is all over with and we have a new speaker and we're running smooth, let's have this conversation again. Were you happy with John Boehner? I wasn't here with John Boehner. Paul Ryan? They're both rhinos. I mean, why do you, they're not, they're not in my camp anyway. So I, but I wasn't here when they were here. So you had 15 yeses for every round you voted for Kevin McCarthy, but you think he's the problem right now? I sure do. It's part of it. He's part of the, this, this whole problem. When you don't, when you deny that there's a problem when in this dysfunctional Washington brother that you didn't, you know, there's a problem. You can't, you can't take, get past the fact we take in 5 trillion. We spend 7 trillion and this and, and leadership. I'm fascinated. I'm fascinated the way you blame Kevin McCarthy, that you're, that you're $33 trillion in debt, but you're going to get a new leader. I'm sure he's going to solve everything. Well, I'm surprised that, that you give him full credit for all the successes that we made. I don't think you should take all the blame. Well, why, why are we backing it up? We had nine months. Exactly. That's a great point. Why do we wait nine months to do something about the wall, something about the budget, something about, well, we never did anything about term limits, which we promised the American I watched him for an hour and 15 minutes. He was doing a, he was doing an awful lot, but not enough for you. Uh, Tim Burchett, uh, Congressman, thanks so much. Now as if that wasn't wild enough, you want to know something wilder? Brian Kilmeade posted that on his Twitter account on X. He was so proud of that condescending, disgraceful treatment of a United States Congressman. He posted it. Now he might have people that do it. I don't know, but I, I would want to scrub that from existence. Surely that guy isn't proud of the way he insulted and berated. I guarantee you I'm, I, I've watched Fox for years. Brian Kilmeade doesn't normally interview people that way. He doesn't insult and, and, and, and have a smart aleck, interruptive that that's not him. It's personal for these folks. And what, what Tim Burchett was trying to say is I'm representing my constituents, brother. Nancy Mace is saying, I'm representing what my constituents want, not what you want. Funny that Brian Kilmeade brought up Paul Ryan. I'll bet he defends Paul Ryan, especially now that Paul Ryan is one of his bosses over at Fox news. Wow. I mean, I'm sorry. That's, that's just wild stuff to see that happen like that. Give me your reaction. 800 -655 -MIKE. We're in the relief factor studios for a Thursday. The PhD weight loss and nutrition phone number is 800 -655 -MIKE. I mean, why is this so, why is this so personal to these guys? Why do you think it is so devastating that we're going to have a new speaker in the Republican caucus? Why are they so depressed and angry and filled with rage? Help me understand it because it's a mystery to me. 800 -65, I mean, I appreciate being disappointed. I get not wanting chaos as they put it. I get not wanting the disruption. I get it. I do appreciate that. But to go Defcon one like that and to rip into one of the, the eight congressmen who voted to oust McCarthy, was anything that happened on Capitol Hill this week, deserving of that kind of a treatment by Brian Kilmeade at Fox news.

RADCast Outdoors
A highlight from Pack Smarter, Hunt Harder: A Two-Part Series with Mike Kentner
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by PK Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey! RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between, this is RadCast Outdoors. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. To get back on point, we've covered quite a bit of it. When you're setting up for these hunts, depending on this, that, and the other thing, what are you doing as far as bow hunt, rifle hunt, ammunition? Are you just taking just one quiver full, or are you taking what... Because there's a lot of weight in the ammo for these things. Archery -wise, I take my one quiver full. I carry a pack of six arrow quiver. That's what I kick in, no matter where, from backcountry mountain goat hunt to antelope alongside the truck. I carry six arrows. You get six tries and you're done. Yeah, if it takes me six tries, I'm going to go back to truck crying. I'm pretty much done. A lot of times I will carry extra arrows in the truck, but I may be miles from the truck at any one point, but I've never yet run into a situation where I've emptied my quiver and not put an animal down, but it could be done. I've seen it done. I just haven't accomplished it yet. And I'm actually the same way. I run a... one is a grouse arrow, so I actually only have four broadheads. I run a five arrow quiver anymore. And by the time we get to that third arrow, it better be done. Now, knock on wood, I haven't got into the fourth one yet. I do sometimes pack an extra broadhead so I could change out that grouse arrow, because I'm tired of wasting broadheads on grouse. And I'll tell you, anytime that we see a grouse when it's seasoned on pause, it's time to put a grouse in the pot for dinner. So that's... I'm glad we're on point there. As far as... say elk hunt or mule deer hunt, you didn't fill your tags and you're going, or you drew something that you're going to go rifle hunt for, how much are you going to plan on packing for your rifle? I normally carry 10 rounds. That's what I... usually four in my gun, and then I put another six in my pocket. If I was going on a multi -day hunt, I may pack a few more, but... Have you ever needed more than that? Really, I've never needed more than that. Usually what's in my gun is... the four in the gun is more than sufficient. There's been a few times I've used a few backup rounds trying to finish something off, but it's most of the time, it's the four rounds in the gun's all I've ever needed. Dan, I'm similar. Once that first arrow flies or that first bullet flies, it's a little bit chaos for a moment. And if that first one didn't go where it's supposed to, it doesn't get better with the second and the third of archery. I've made a marginal first shot and the second great shot, right? It has happened. And same with the rifle. But typically we're trying to make sure that first shot counts, and then the nexters are just tertiary, right? So as far as getting into calls, obviously, dear, you're not packing much, Antelope, you're not packing anything. But elk, what's your go -to stuff to have in your backpack and on your person? I carry an open reed cow call, a bugle tube, I have multiple brands, I have a whole closet full of them because I'm addicted to elk calls, so I don't even, I'm not even brand specific most of the time. And I usually have about eight or nine diaphragms with me at any time, mouth diaphragms and all different tension stretches. So I can reach from more lower growly bugles to higher, get up to the more higher pitch sounds by the different calls that are there. And most of the time I carry two of each because in a good day, a lot of days I'll wear out one reed. I pack four to six for, and I have a few more in the truck and I'll, same thing, I have a couple tensions and I'll wear out one every two or three days, I just, they wear out, they just do. Yeah, you stretch the latex in them, they get stretched out. What are we supposed to do with these things once they are stretched out? Because I'm always tossing them in the fire. Yeah, I get rid of them, they're not, they're no good, no use to me, I just throw them away when they're done, when I'm done with them, but, or let my grandkids use them. Okay. I just wanted to cover some of that, the call stuff specifically. We've gone through optics, obviously shelter. Each one of these items, guys, is going to be specific to your hunt, right? There isn't a hundred percent do all. Now, for the most part, I'm taking the same binos and the same vinyl harness, right? If I'm going to pack a sidearm, I'm taking the same sidearm, elk, deer, antelope, mule deer. I'm using the same broadhead for elk, deer, antelope. A lot of this gear transition, I don't have to buy a whole bunch of different gear, but I retool definitely or re -kit and go from a 18, 22 pound day pack up to a, I think the other day I was at 52 pounds with four days of food, right? But I had the heavy spotter, I had the tripod, I had the sleeping pad. The Hilleberg, it's got a big enough vestibule that you and I could put our packs and bows in the vestibule and sleep in there, but it's still shoulder to shoulder tight. I don't mind if it's nice weather, I'll hang my pack on a tree or something like that. If like when we were mountain goat hunting, there was not really any place to hang stuff. So it's got to come in with you to stay out of the weather and even August in Wyoming hunting mountain goats, you're going to weather some thunderstorms. They just collide over the top of those big ridges and you're in the wide open. There's nothing to hide from them in. Yeah, I can just last week I was on a solo couple day elk trip over in Wyoming and in one of the mountain ranges and every evening you could see it building here at Cummin and I actually, it was about two, three in the afternoon, I went and hid in the tent for 45 minutes because it was torrential bound for and I was out, I was back at camp about noon and elk had shut up about nine o 'clock. So I was just waiting for them to start up in the early afternoon. So those afternoon naps, elk hunting are amazing. I think that's half the reason I go anymore, but I will say that to be able to throw the backpack and bow in the vestibule, crawl in the tent and just wait it out when it's sheets of rain coming down, it's worth it for sure. And if you were trying to bivvy sack it, and that's what I found, I still have a XBG Cabela's bivvy sack in there for a while. I had the sleeping bag and pad inside that. You still really have to set up a tarp unless you want, unless it's really good weather. Yeah. Yeah. If it's just, if it's bluebird sky and you're just going to sleep on the ground, they're okay. If you're in mosquito country, you're still going to have mosquitoes all over your face. I just, guys can scream at me all you want. If you love your bivvy sack, I've had one and I'm just, I'm not a big fan by no means of, I don't think there's any more true security in a tent than a bivvy sack. There's just a little more protection from sideways rain and from wind. You get a lot more space between your bag, between you and the weather. Yeah, I agree. And when you get up and it's drizzling and you got to get dressed, when you sit up in a bivvy bag, it's raining and you got to get dressed in the rain. It's a little demoralizing when you're in your tent and you can open the. I opened the door and cook in the vestibule and can start getting dressed and I can have my rain gear on before I even step out. It's, it makes a little different atmosphere when you can get dressed, quote unquote, indoors before you go outdoors. So definitely your, but when we start adding all these things up weight wise, your kit can really start getting, your backpack gets heavy and yeah, for sure. One thing we didn't talk about that I really liked that Bowspider selling is our pack covers or waterproof backpack covers. They are multi -use, really nice. We have two sizes, but what I've found is if you put that receiver on top of your backpack and then put our ultra lightweight backpack covers over, you can still put the post through the material into your receiver so you can have your backpack waterproofed. If you're running our bow slicker, you can have your bow waterproofed and still have quick access when you're hiking around in the rain and that's actually is pretty handy. It is pretty handy if you're getting into bad weather. So definitely a waterproof backpack cover. If I have my rain jacket and my backpack cover, I'll hunt in some pretty nasty weather before I even put my rain pants on. But I am running gaiters, right? So if the brush is wet, most of the time my legs are still staying pretty dry. Now it's got to be pretty nasty for me to go, all right, it's time to put the rain pants on just because I've got the pit zips on the rain coat. So if I'm hunting with the rain jacket on, I can open those pit zips up and I'm still getting rid of a lot of that moisture humidity. Once I put the rain pants on, it feels a little more, locks in, claustrophobic, I build a lot more heat and sweat and I can't move as fast as far. So certainly that's some of the things I do, you do. It's great that we covered some of the same stuff. Food wise is one of the big things, food prep, food. What are you doing on a multi -day hunt versus a day hunt? Day hunts, I grow mainly with granola bars and sometimes tortillas, peanut butter, a few things like that. I don't carry a lot of heavy food with me. Pound of food, maybe. Pound of food, maybe. A few granola bars, protein bars, stuff like that. Multi -day hunts, I'm usually running granola bars for breakfast, something similar to that lunch time and then dehydrated dinners for whatever brand you prefer, for the dehydrated meals or freeze -dried meals for dinner. I've eaten quite a few of them and there's a bunch out there and I'll ramble through a few of them.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

She wants to go into the candalyn so she goes to caring for vice now. What i think is so shady about bravo so we know that karen gave her some of ice and then we know at the end of the episode. John mia dropped three handles. Okay for care. Karen or windy now they single wake are triple. I think they are. They are the small triple week. Okay because you know those are totally different totally different markets and therefore larger room so when karen is getting sworn in as the ambassador to surrey county she had all the four people are very represent.

They even took us back to win. Wendy xt karen about the candles and the look we would have never noticed in that actual episode. But the look that karen gave in that moment was i. Ooh upcoming too. So you know. Karen could have said But i mean she didn't have to courtesy she didn't she didn't have i'm mad. I hear is the here looking. You ain't got love i air. Y'all got to reveal your cars to all these half was okay. So i'm ed at their so. That was interesting as well. But let me ask you this. Do you think she was really working on candles or do you think wendy inspired her. Ooh that is hard I don't. I don't know i i can't see. It is a natural next step because kills are probably. They're they're a nurse that for what perfume. Wiggs two candles okay. You're right damn. I hate seeing it all right. I don't like how i think i now. My ju just because i've just we've heard about the ground. I think that i hope night. I this is an ag. I'm going to go out on a limb. And i'm gonna give care in the benefit of the doubt. I feel like karen has a team with white guy named who always be. I feel like like she has a team. And i feel like there are and i feel like karen has like not a vision board like you know aboard of things and i feel like candles could have possibly been on there. I wouldn't think candles are like low. Low threshold to entry like is not hard to do a candle with now hard campbell made or shipped or marketing. So right i agree. And i think that it was on the board but i think we'll wendy says she was coming out with a candle. I think that karen like she got busy to work. And again i feel life. Don't you feel like you all about this to who'd and you all live been wendy up. Which is tara how you don't think you could get your sister about show three week. Candle sister karen. Okay so yeah.

Forget how they they you know. They organized the front the strikers midfielder. Just forget it for women. There is a big disconnect with the goalkeeper in defense. I still at the moment because it quite clearly. There is a even the the grave. There is a style of play in terms of us wanting to build up from the back and maybe wing backs in terms of pushing. Ervin the pitching getting the bullets who are bad players and then spring tax less touches blah. Want to touch finishes in a box cool. But i'll defenders aren't really sue.

He just tends to kind of revert back to type a little bit timid even though he's got great ability. Maguire is in that gray on the bull. Lindelof is okay on these day but again on these day our number secca is of course fairly average improving but fairly average inaudible so you call love players and they would allow question marks at about. Let's say let's say luke shelter. Anyone can play the back but the rest of them which is the majority for their plays for the back five. Not really the best when it comes to play at the back which means it's hard to to get the bull to these two defensive midfielders sentimental displaying their which then difficult to get the ball forever up to these guys which.

It's easier to deal with things that we understand our comments to take us from the path of laureate. Take us from the path of greatness. I want you to process the month of july. And i want you to think about some of the nation's that you felt like you had to endure once again and they may have shown up in a different face. They may have shown up with a different a different outfit. You feel i'm saying but it was still a demon that you knew the geneva vanquish and now that you are able to recognize like this pulls me away from my greater good this pulls me away from my purpose this pulls me away from being the person i deserved to be now that you notice that and you know that there is no question about the fact that she should be playing with this energy anymore. You have that sense of clarity. You have that sense of awareness. You feel better about yourself about the decisions that you're making because you could recognize what are some of the things that have been happening in my past what some of the things have been happening recently. That do not serve me anymore. The devil that you know is easy to deal with than the devil that you don't know you feel what i'm saying so a lot of those things are coming back. I want you think about some of your bad habits that you have been reckoning with throughout the month of july and going into the month of august so just for a little spiritual update astrological update.

"Nineteen the typical mass. You buy in. The drugstore is not really effective in keeping out the virus which is small enough to pass through material it might however provide some slight benefit said keeping out the gross droplets if someone sneezes or coughs around you okay. So that's one point that everybody is talking about and the next one that is another email reveals that felt she was made aware that a leak of covert nineteen by a research. Lab in china was entirely possible. Courtesy of kristen anderson a professor with research in a february i e mail on a psycho genetic tree. The virus looks totally normal. And close to the clustering with bats suggests that bats serve as the reserve anderson bro the unusual features of the virus. Make up a really small part of the gene so one has to look really closely at the sequence to see that some of the features potentially look engineered foul. She came to a different conclusion. However in may twenty twenty interview with national geographic magazine. If you look at the evolution of the virus embeds and what's out there now is very very strongly leaning towards that. This could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated. He argued even on thursday more than a year later. And despite the growing evidence the virus may have come from the lab following a wall street journal report indicating three lab workers got sick in november twenty nineteen symptoms consistent covert nineteen. Dr fauci remained primarily steadfast in his belief that the virus was not man-made while adding that he is keeping an open mind. I have always said and will always say today that i still believe the most likely origin is from animal. Species to human species. Bow told cnn. The ideas that think are quite far fetched that the chinese deliberately engineer something that they could have killed themselves and millions of other people. I think is a bit for out there. It should be noted that novel viruses have escape from labs before including sars from the chinese lab in two thousand four and amtrak's from the soviet lab in the nineteen seventies. So the president is here yet on q. Many of the media labeled those who even broach this possibility people like the ex-president as conspiracy theorist i think that's to unpacked and it is interesting so one is to tackle is the mask wearing So people are like these. They're saying like the emails have revealed that dr she knew that demand does recover. Nineteen but i always thought we knew that we like. I always thought we knew that the mass just lower the probability and if we can do anything to help lower the probability then we won't do it. He also was pretty consistent with that like in the beginning as well like he wasn't the only person that was saying. That masks weren't really going to help much. Which i think was a gross generalization that they use because they didn't want people panic buying all of the masks because in the beginning of march. All these masks were out of stock to the point where there were some medical people in the medical field but could not get masks because the public went and bought them all up. So i think that was more of the government trying to lie a little bit to us. Because they didn't want people they wanted to be able to control the amount of people going out and just buying the same thing with toilet paper like looking for what like going anywhere. but anyway yes i don't. He's been very not anything new. Also the the prospect of it not being something that leaks out of a wet market and not being from that was always a possibility people. I mean people like not eating. You don't have to be dr fauci to wonder whether or not i wonder if china did this on purpose like everybody was thinking that so the fact that he also was not ruling it out why he shouldn't like arthritis a detective like wait. What i'm looking for the smoking gun here so well. What they're saying is an again. I've done some like you know you. Some twitter searching and some research is that basically like an it. All it's this world. We're so polarizing right. It's just like depending on what size you on is how you get the information. And so that's why. I thought it was important for us to like. Maybe like talk about this subject or here because i feel like one side of the one side of the field of saying look heath in collusion with these people and basically say like you know and saying that it's not from a lab and that is from bats and like you know he wants to protect one side and then you've got other people saying like girl was like he's not ruling it out. He's saying that more than likely has come from the mutation of like from animal to human. But we don't know for sure so the fact that like they're trying to use these emails to be like. Oh he's in collusion. He's working with the chinese government. Hide the fact. Like we don't know and i think until we know for certain. I don't think that me personally until we have like. You said the smoking gun until we know for sure. I don't think that it's appropriate for the information out like that and again when they're saying like and then this article was going on and say like people like the ex president who allege that you know. China released this They're saying oh he was labeled a conspiracy theory like no. You're not in the whole truth and again. It's not about whether or not he agreed with that is about how he deployed information. How he used that information to weaponize. Okay if the difference okay. And i'm of the sense of all like we don't know everything and if we like and again i get. We want transparency. We want to notice. We want to know that but if they don't even know what they're supposed to release to us so call a math panic like saying like and i get. I just feel like it's these other side that's just like city government as lying gall you're never should like i. I'm not on that side for me. These infra like for me these emails. Tell me that they were just like us. I know what the hell was going on and think about how much we know now from them when we knew beckham february twenty twenty. Exactly you don't think the same is true for them. The evolution of the thought process the evolution of the information out learning more like i. It's it's strange is really strange. I don't know people just want to play fast and loose with some of these facts and they wanna accused dr fauci. Because i mean i understand that. We're in a really weird time where there was so much conflicting information coming out in the beginning that it's hard trust everything that you see and i know that the american public i mean. We're we're paranoid by nature. We are always questioning whether or not people in the government are conspiring against us. You know what i mean. Let's just taylor's time. And i'm sure that there are plenty of things that our government highs from us. I'm sure there are. I don't think that this is one of them. I don't think that there really has been anything that he hasn't said publicly. That was any of these emails. Like he's been there done that like we've we've heard all this before and this like ready to blame china for releasing this virus causing such a wave of hate towards asian americans and just asian people in general like like look. I am off for investigation. i'm off. we're trying to figure out how this happened and getting to the truth so that we can figure out how to not make it happen again. You know what. I mean like right. Try to circumvent this. I'm all about that but let's be like fat full like westby honest. Let's think about the ramifications of your words have upon people and so again like a once. I ready to crucify for me again. Like i say two things can be true at the same time like you know like two things can exist at the same time in the doesn't mean that it's a slight against one fight against another. We still don't know where it came from. And i mean. I would like to know and that's just the end of it and again like these emails. Don't prove anything like he say. Keep an open mind like you know. He doesn't know but he does not believe that. S just a is an interesting subject. And it's like you know he. I i i feel like i'm of the same mind i would want to believe that somebody would not deliberately do this to kill millions of people however at i am a do understand the world that we live in and people in this world have done horrible things and so i don't like you know i can see where dr fauci is like. I don't wanna believe that..

"When you hit play. No because i figured it'd be like i love you know say fucking love song of just look around billick. I know how they play it now. As compared how they recorded it in one thousand nine hundred like how they play it. Now right so i kinda went into it knowing hearing these songs live for the last x. Amount of years after the records come come out and what they sound like and listen. I raised why the thing is the best life arkham. I think that's sick of it. All record is proof that it can be done. I just today this. I listen to the recording of smash be smashed crisis song right recording just came out right on and i hit. I hit play with like with nerves. As though i was as though i was going to reach underneath my deck that i don't have your clipping the green wire to your clipping the glint green wire exactly right and you're gonna say you reach under a desk gonna gum under their reach a deck at your house and you're like somebody's like something smells under there like is it. A rat is a squirrel. Is it my sandwich. Am i gonna put am. I gonna put my hand in something. That's been detained for three weeks. Like is going to bite me or you know what another comparison you could say flash gordon or you could say dune where where the litany against fear where you put your hand in the box you know and it's all you know is that it's going to hurt. That's how i felt so so. Yeah actually listen to earth. The new earth crisis recording was the litany against fear and what was the end result of that results. Okay so obvious it hurt. It didn't hurt. The coda is not nearly as good and crawl makes vocal cadence decisions. And he's done this. Every time they re recorded something i think he feels an obligation to update or change in somewhere. And i don't always think is necessary. He'll make these cadence changes that just kind of a rob like they work. They're fine but they don't work as well as the original. And i don't think that that's just in my head you know so sure. He's he's making some cadence decisions that i don't vibe with and the recording i like because it sounds largely like impressed shit and think that that's kind of good. I think that that's cool for what this is. It's not supposed to be a huge record. It's just kind of like a fun. Hey let's record that song that everybody's been wanting in a flexi that comes at a magazine light and i literally the like the current decibel records magazine for them. You buy that you got the flexi yeah and which is totally cool to me but not the most environmental decision was crisis but the The the which is one of the best parts of the song is just robbed of a little bit of what it is and so. I wasn't happy with that but ultimately this is not a terrible re recording at all. It didn't warrant me feeling the anxiety that i did. But every time i've seen a re recorded song of any type go god fucking. You're going to do this. And that's how i felt going in patrick. You may need to help me with project. Sure i'm thinking about buying a lot. Lathe record press love cutting my trepidation was part of. I the reason i wanted. I mean obviously i went to make cool shit but i was thinking i was like you always their way for me to make lay discs out of recycled plastic. Yes there is you can buy. You can do okay. The recycled plastic thing. You can build yourself no you. You can actually do it on. Laser discs on that are dead stock. Okay you see. What i wanted to do was be able to collect plastic to direct action. Pla- plastic collection. I like it so you can help me with that. Research project can see if it's possible. Alright i tom. Are there any other good examples of recording. Like i feel like there's been a couple slapshot ones that i didn't think embarrassing. I mean are we talking like from demo to lp like right we're talking like closer top. Yeah like like for example. I was thinking there's some ignite songs from their first seven inch that when they different singer and they record with zoe they're still there were better. They're probably a better versions. I like you know. But they're just different. Normally there's that trepidation because it's it's the it's the reflex right like the mouse touches. The electrified muffin too. Many times stops touching the muffin right. I mean they should all right. Good old electrified muffin. That's the new self defense family record electrified. Yeah that's that's our cobra starship. A spin off. See i was thinking guys went full like mo meets. They might be giants jammed. Champagne like fucking nineteen one stage. Good old electrified muffin. Lp triple i think you guys you guys might both like what. The next is going to be chris just sending enemy songs. Sandwich rolling stones and tom petty. So i want you to you. i won't singles. I went back from get excited. You guys hit singles. It's all right. Fuck berry kill. Coc personal conformity yup dri suicidal tendencies. These are three bands that were grouped together for what should be obvious reasons. But i don't think they get talked about in core twenty twenty one very often if you like Powerchip dead heat enforced thrash thrash punk or thrash metal yep drain. These bans should be something. You go back to an really really check out. Large swath of their catalog but for this activity. Fuck mary kill. Ceo cd are suicidal. San sox at fox recital. Okay because they're good for a while but then they get really bad many bad post reunion records and even some of the later era records. I can't hang with right. So i don't know if like so things get rough. Yeah yeah i loved up to that. I would marry coc because they age gracefully agree. And i think like you can like the earlier stuff and you can like the more like you know. Pepper keenan singing snuff for sure completely. Different bands same. Name and reed mullin was the only things that thing that really tied it together. Yup r.i.p remodeling and i would have to gun to my head hill dr. I i don't know i don't like it. i had. It feels dirty to get rid of one of these three. Okay respect patrick straight kill. Dri with no compunction. Don't give a shit out and then you actually mind fault across ex. Yeah exactly like toms. Although i guess i guess maybe maybe fuck coc. Because i'd be most excited to foxy aussie. So i don't really know how to parse this. Will you marry round. Yeah if you if you marry you're gonna consummate with coc for a long time you know. Let's go with that right okay. Yeah i think. I thought it might be a sexless marriage.

"Because g jack mc says that rory came to his house and left a threatening letter but as you might imagine. Dj academics has at least a ring ring monitor on his buck and doorbell. So so out. Imagine i do get into enough shit. He's got something to protect them. Yes and so he. So i'm on to hem. Saw him on camera leaving is threatening message with which by the way everybody everybody on this podcast in the sound of my voice has been stupid. It's possible to be stupid to get so mad that you behave stupidly that you make threats to people that you young kid i mean younger younger still still still still in the act like like an idiot phase but and he's also trying to show off sure and be he just got money for the first time he's just behaving like a little gangster. Whatever but that and dj academics takes real exception to it and proceeds to ruin engagement to his fiancee. So i'll give juicing this now a he makes jack that makes. I know i know of so. He's like this like kinda softer than baby shit. Chubby dude they used to do a show with joe biden on on on youtube. This dude. yeah yeah. And he's like a like a twitch guy he's cried on twitch and like he's got punked by like dudes you're the first video hit of his. Why doesn't hip hop respect. Dj academics owned by freddie gibbs right. Yeah yeah sorry. Go ahead from gary indiana. He's no joke. he's gonna beat the shit out academic. I mean academics rides very strange line video game guide. That happens to like have poland hip hop. That's what it seems like me. You know what tom. Here's the thing and we've seen this with the with the dj academic good. I don't know. I keep saying his full fucking name. So this is like a government name the okay so academics is why i need to know what his job is before every time i say his name. He's silver silversmith. Okay got it. So is he's not. He's tied with takashi and last night took last night. eric. And i were watching it takashi. Video eric said dan. This is going to get killed. And i said you know what i bet. He did the math and he said i could either be could work at data really really have like a fairly unlit life and die as sixty three or i could be in this music video with all these girls and die from a gunshot wound at thirty eight. You know what i mean. I'll do it. And i think it's too many people watching that do to. That's true but i think dj mixes too. God damn it. I think academics is in the same. The kaci six nine. I think i think he's in the same space where the white guys discussing rap music. Yeah for sure. But i think he's in the same space where he did the math and he goes. You know what. I'm soft as they come and this is going to catch up but this is my opportunity to make a few mill. And if i make it out under the wire it's like it's like a gangster mentality most gangsters that i know. I do not think that they're going the distance. Do you put their academics thing is like he doesn't like people kind of take pity on him. Do in a way that like if someone gets like a fair clean shot at six nine. They're not gonna hesitate. Blake colleague back. He's like this like fucking fat. Lose into basement. Like that's what i mean. That's the vibe. I get from people that are like joe button could had wanted to fight the guy kinder's show instead they just do we own like he's not even worth the ride ignore him. That's true and it's like cena's gauche to like be the young picking on somebody come on. And how are you pick on this guy so so this. I'll buy this up real quick. He's threatening when he sees that roy came to his house. He's like oh. I act also gets now. He's my friend. Just call them now now at aca pretty hand has had her all that they can spare for pat. Act like he he. He's he's like go. Have a conversation with your fiance tonight. Because another goddamn thing to you. And i'm going She's gonna walk out the goddamn door no questions asked. Don't make me do it. And then he's drinking more drinking more and then he lets know. Basically this guy's mistress isn't isn't the most faithful mistresses and was over ackhouse and it That's the that's what academics alleges. And it looks like rory's relationship is falling apart okay. Nobody's business more but that might put a stress on things. But what seems clear is that rory is not happy with his workplace environment and there is some discrepancy about where the patriot money's going. It seems right Start they just lost the patriots right and they're on spotify. Oh how they left big spotify deal. That's their back on like on their regular podcast things interesting okay and then move big move and they can make it work but everybody has to teamwork's bit makes the dream work you know. So then. then they've got to a mall was joe's friend. Not roy's friend takes rory side and in solidarity. Neither of them were on the show this week. So that's big. It's big.
