The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from CRITICAL Cardano Update! (Shopify Altcoin Partner)
"We are going to have some fun today. The Nictatorship is here in the land of BitBoy Crypto. Welcome to BitBoy Crypto. My name is Nick. Over there is Tim. On the board is Drew. We've got a studio audience today. We've got a lit show. My shirt is on fire. Yes, literally. I appreciate everyone here in the chat. Everyone in the chat is probably gobsmacked that the dictator is here on BitBoy Crypto. But you know what? Ben is traveling. It's at a rare evo event. Hobnombing was a bunch of Cardano people. And Deezy is there too. So hang on. Coffee. So it's my turn to run the ship. And as we all know, we can't have Tim immediately take over the BitBoy Crypto channel. They're just kind of easing him in, right? So yeah, like I'm the bench host, right? And then eventually Tim's gonna earn his spot. And this will be TimBoy Crypto. Who knows? So, oh no, not Nick, says Pedro Lavador. Sorry, bro. It is me. No, not Nick. The Nictators in the house from Paul. Flip a Frank. Nick's shirt looks like a 70s living room set. That's exactly the vibe I'm going for. That is exactly the vibe I'm going for. Appreciate all of y 'all. We've got some incredible, incredible news popping today. Tim, how are you feeling, bro? I'm feeling good. And here's the thing, guys. You need to know whether it's Ben or Deezy or the Nictator, my role on the show is to keep the nonsense to less than 2 .6 percent until the end of the show. And at the end of the show, the nonsense gets turned up to a thousand. So yeah, that will continue today. Yeah, I can tell you what. Ben has a difficult job because seeing myself in like six different spots plus the chat, it's a little overwhelming. But I think we're gonna push through. Or we could just end the show. I could just say steak and then we run the mid -roll and then we're in. We're done. Plus one in the chat, if you want me to end the show right now. Actually, there's a lot of Nictator love going on in the chat. No, we don't ask chat for that kind of power anymore. Sometimes they tell us what we don't want to hear. Well, no, I wouldn't give them the illusion of being able to vote. Just like the elections in the United States. Let's move on. Looking at BitBoy Crypto, we've got 1 .45 million subscribers. We've got videos on Matic. This one's really great. Everything you need to know about Matic. We've got Ben coin to one penny. Big update. XRP domination. This video is probably one of the best ones we've done in a long time. 52 ,000 views. Go ahead and check out our content. We make good content, folks. We do. Okay, we've got a negative one from Nate Wick. Appreciate the vote of confidence. You can simp for me on Twitter at Nick DeMundi. I've got there are flames coming out of my mouth at all times. So just be prepared. I'd say it's 30 % crypto content, another 40 % trolling, and 10 % just sus. Look at that outfit. Yeah, this is my Tyler Durden outfit. So, okay, you want to know the story of this jacket? I think I've told this before on ATB. You have 20 seconds. Do you know where I am? Where? Okay, I am at a Christmas wrap party for Stranger Things season 3. This is actually one of the costumers just seconds that they had spare from the costumes for Stranger Things and I wore it and I was about seven Miller Highlifes in. That's my eighth Miller Highlife in my hand right there. And I'm having a good time. Yes, I worked on Stranger Things. My wife and I worked on Stranger Things several seasons. Great times. Love those people. Cool story. Yeah. Let's get into the market watch. Let's get into the market watch. Tim, I like it. It's passive -aggressive. It's a little snide. I like it because it pisses me off. Let's get into it. It fuels you. Coin market cap, Bitcoin 26 ,059 doll hairs. Hang on. Get this crap off. No one cares about the fear and greed index. Hey, everyone's afraid so guess what you should do? When the fear and greed index is red, you should probably consider buying. Remember, everything I say is financial advice. Is it good or bad? That's up for you to decide. Let's see. 662 exchanges. Volume is in the toilet. Okay, like this is, we've had rancid Taco Bell bowel movements level of volume. It's so low and so heavy it cannot get possibly any lower. Ethereum gas is 36 quay. I don't do the math like Ben does because I'm not good at math. I was a communications manager. Okay, like I need a calculator to do anything other than addition and subtraction on fingers. So yeah, fear and greed at 35 out of a hundred. That's great. Buy the red. Sell the green. Ethereum is at 1 ,645. Let's see. XRP scam coin at 51 cents. I'm just kidding. I hold XRP. It's going to pump. It's gonna make people money. Everyone calm down. Cardano at 26 cents. That's quite a steal and we're gonna talk a lot about Cardano coming up. Okay, what's your, you had, you have some history with XRP at 51 cents, don't you, Tim? I mean, to be fair, my history was actually at 55 cents. It was a little bullish, but I do want to say we're gonna continue on with the show. Negative five points for the dictator for using the forbidden coin market cap. Oh, is that another thing? That's forbidden on this show. So we're gonna have to keep moving on. Should we use lunar crush? But yeah, no, XRP for sure. 55 cents got turned into resistance rather than use of force. We're fixing it on the fly here. There we go. There we go. Alright, you can have your five points back. Is it? So much worse. Listen, this is the new show. Chat. CoinGecko. Chat, tell us what to use. Tell us what to use. Tron is at seven cents. Guaranteed short. If you want to absolutely be guaranteed to find successful shorts, Tron and EOS are your coins. Just look and see what the market's doing and Tron and EOS will probably do the opposite. Dai, hey guys, stablecoins are still at a dollar, which is unfortunately an important headline that we must keep track of. Mm -hmm. Litecoin coming in as a $65 stablecoin. Let's see, Avalanche for under $12 is an amazing scoop. I know Ben doesn't like Avalanche, but look, it's the corporate coin. It is what it is. Stellar at 12 cents. Love Stellar. Chainlink at $6 .17. I think Deezy is actually gonna buy McDonald's Happy Meals worth of Chainlink today. Let's see. What are their movers? Oh, we got to do the 24 hour, right? Can we do that on Lunar Crush? Oh my gosh. This doesn't seem very germane to the conversation. Shout out to all the fantasy gold holders with a 90 ,000 % pump over the last 24 hours. My God. Do you know anyone who holds fantasy gold? No. It has a $157 million market cap. Hey, that's pretty big for them. 24 hour volume is $12. Okay. Or 12 million. Alright, let's, we have to go back to CoinMarketCap. That's the only way I can do this. Oh my goodness. We need the 24 hour price. These, I'm giving the squad what they want. BoneSwap, no jokes, up 16%. Didix, up 5%. Basically nothing. Render under $2. Great, great pick. Maker, Aave, Solana. Let's see. Go down. Let's see who's a loser. Thorchain, Monero. Perennial Loser, Curve. Chainlink. Deezy's Apecoin is still down. Deezy's Apecoin. Oh my gosh. Look at this chart. It's been a rough, good, googly moogly, rough couple months for Deezy. Wow. I would say the fundamentals are not bullish on Apecoin at this point. Hang on. Let me sip this. This coffee brought to you by Trezor. Oh, camera's struggling. Lavazza coffee is what I'm drinking today. Top tier coffee. All the nutrients you need to trade on the fly. It's kind of a new show today. We're going to get into continued market watch, but in the other side of the market that we rarely ever cover on this channel. Mining. Look at this. We're going to cover some mining today. They can't stop me. What are they going to do? Turn the stream off? Let's see. Mining. All of crypto, all of your gains brought to you by mining, because if there was no mining of Bitcoin, there would be no crypto. Let's see. Bitcoin is up 79 % today. BitNet money is up 26 % today. China is up 15 % today. We covered this a little bit on Blockchain Basement last night. Verus coin, very interesting coin, up 6 .3%. This is mineable on a cell phone, on a GPU, on a CPU. It is actually throttled, so there cannot be ASICs that mine Verus coin. It's positioned itself as like a currency coin that is very, very spread out, much like Cardano, as far as decentralization goes, but it's like Cardano proof of stake, but proof of work, and you do it on a phone. It's actually optimized for ARM processors and GPU processors, so very interesting coin. You can mine it on any phone, any tablet, any GPU, any CPU, and actually make quite a bit. Let's see. The gainers for today. Rethereum. This is an interesting project because it's Ethereum as it is now with all of its upgrades, but still proof of work. Okay. They relaunched the Ethereum chain. It's not Ethereum Classic. It's not ETH POW. It's Ethereum with all the upgrades minus proof of stake. Interesting project. I'm looking into it. It's the reward gainers. That means the hash rate has gone down, but the profit of the revenue that you're getting has gone up, so you're able to get 49 % more Rethereum than you were just a couple of days ago. Octaspace. This is actually... I don't know if I should... If you're subscribed to Crucial Crypto, you're gonna know about Octaspace. That's all I can say about that. Kadena. Don't sleep on Kadena. Do you know why no one should sleep on Kadena? Why shouldn't they sleep on it? Because it was made by JP Morgan. Oh, okay. Do not sleep on anything that the banks have a hand in. Kadena is one of those things. Casper. Rewards have gone up 5%, which is probably because a bunch of people sold. All right, what's next? We do merch? Oh yeah. Hey. We haven't done merch in a minute. We sell merch. There's Mirel. This is very intimidating. The rings. There's TJ. Let's go back. If this is a D &D class, what would it be? If Mirel was a D &D class, what would he be? Chat, give us your input on who you think Mirel's D &D class is, given this getup. Let me know. I've been neglecting Chat. Are there any good questions for Chat right now? I don't think yet. No, I mean, a lot of people saying how much they love the dictator and loved him. No, you're lying. No, they, I mean, there were, I mean, there was a mixed bag, but they definitely said they loved it. All right, all right. I believe you now. Hot on the block. We do have some really cool merch. Read the positives. Read the positives. Yeah. Okay, there's your merch. Should we move on? Should we do Ada versus the SEC? Okay, this is a really cool story. So, US SEC not coming after Cardano, Charles Hoskinson whips it out online, explaining the SEC's continuous crackdown on crypto entities is political and has nothing to do with securities laws. Chuckie Ho -Ho, founder of Cardano, believes the United States Securities Exchange Commission will not come after the project's native token, Ada. Interesting. He didn't say not him, but not Ada. Okay, that's fine. During a recent YouTube interview on Corey Costa's crypto coins, shout out Corey Costa, friend of ATB. Hosky pointed out that there has been no enforcement action against Ada so far. Hasn't there been a couple things where people have delisted Cardano? Yeah, a lot of exchanges have delisted in anticipation that something happens, but nothing, like, there's like misinformation out there. I've actually talked to people who think that right now Cardano's in a lawsuit with the SEC and that is not true. Same, same. Before we continue with the story, hit that like button. Drew, where are we at for likes, bro? Pull that mic down. Let the people hear your smooth dulcet tones. We got 288 likes. Need to pump those numbers up. These are, how do I say this nicely?

Leave a comment. Get active in chat. Bro, Drew, give me a poll. Who won the debate last night? Poll the audience. Let's get it going. CritKratz, dictator hosting, very bullish for crypto. Heck yeah, baby. Let's keep on going. SEC is not coming after Ada in two recent lawsuits against the world's leading crypto exchanges, Coinbase and Binance. The SEC classified roughly 12 tokens, including Cardano and a bunch of other ones. PhilCon. PhilCon. That's how you say it. Insisting they ought to be registered. Insisting. More like stamping foot. Should be registered before being listed on exchanges. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Harry's Razor's number one customer once disclosed that the agency had asked the exchange to delist all tokens except Bitcoin as they qualified as securities. Isn't it weird that like last week the CFTC said Bitcoin and Ethereum were both commodities? Yeah. I mean, what's what's the Gary wants control, Nick, but this it's over, right? Like no one can serious. No one can take the SEC seriously if another agency says the thing that the SEC says is security is a commodity. I mean, I don't know if anyone has been taking the SEC seriously for a minute now, but we know Gary tries to fight with every weapon he has. And unfortunately, he still has a lot of weapons that don't work very well, but he still uses them. Yeah. And it's the delay tactic. He wants to delay everything he can. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Someone said watching Nick is painful. Well, look, pain and suffering makes you a better human being. Okay. Reject comfort. Watch this stream while I host. All right. Who won the debate last night? Vivek Pence, DeSantis, Trump. I would have put Nikki in there instead of Pence because Pence was just like a buffoon. Anyways, SEC's move is political. Yeah. We know this.

A highlight from 112: Part 2: More Mexican Mafia with Ramon Mundo Mendoza
"Hey, Mundo, real quick right there before we get into it, just because I'm curious, how did you set it up to where they were caught? In other words, how did you set it up to deflect as much suspicion away from yourself? Was it a setup? Was it like, were they tailing one of the guys and that's what led them to it? How did they set it up to where these guys got interdicted at the robbery? I gave the task force the information about them looking to do a takeover bank robbery and that I had given them the game and I had told them how to do it. In fact, I'm the one that suggested, rather than rob a teller, that they take over the bank. They were going to put surveillance on every player, on every member, and I advised them not to do that. I advised them to surveil Stoney's house. Stoney was one of the guys. He said, surveil his house because that's going to be the staging area in San Pedro. So if you surveil everybody, what's going to happen is you increase the probability of getting made, your tails. So just surveil Stoney's house and you'll see that that will be the staging area and you will know when the time is there. And sure enough, like a script being written for them, they later told me when they saw the cars arrive, a couple of cars arrived with some of the players, and when they arrived, their whole demeanor was complete, you know, instead of being laughing and joking, whatever, they had their game faces on. They were very serious and they entered, they said, oh, oh, keep an eye, let's keep a close eye. So they enter the house and when they exited, they all come out and you could tell they've got, what do you call it, duffel bags. They have, their clothing is buttoned up and they're up to something. So now they've got, I think it was a helicopter and they have some of the units doing parallel surveillance. And then when they saw where they ended up, ultimately they activated, well, robbery homicide took over and that's how they kept in touch. And later they told me after it happened. And so the shootout ensued with two of the suspects engaged in a shootout. One was killed, the other one was wounded and two of them surrendered. So that's how it happened. That's how I... What did the police use, though, as their reason for why they were there? I mean, were they following up? I mean, how did they explain it away? Because you just don't show up. Was it part of a standard surveillance thing? What I'm saying is what was the police, what was the police story to keep suspicion away from you? I don't remember, but I know that it did deflect for me and they didn't know me. They didn't know that the information they received was from the task force. The task force guys had their robbery homicide contact and said, look, we're following these guys. You know, this is going to take place here. The guys on the actual operation had no... That's what I'm saying. The task force was the cut out. They had no idea you even existed. All it was, they were operating on a tip. No, yes, yes, you're absolutely right. And so and the task force guys didn't even want to be part of the takedown because they wanted to keep themselves clandestine. You know, in other words, the information I would give them, they would feed to the locals. The locals would do the, you know, the arrest, the enforcement, and then they would just be back, you know. It's that's referred to as the Chinese wall where you're protecting your source where the information originally started. Yeah. So it's nothing, but it's just what we call it. OK, so here's the day. The day that I get out and I'm suspecting I got two guys, I got a 45 and a 9 millimeter, you know, one on each side of me, like that's going to make a difference. If I'm going to get whacked, I'm going to get whacked. OK, it doesn't matter how many guns I have. But it made me feel comfortable like a teddy bear. And so when I and as I'm arriving at Joe Morgan's sister's house, I'm thinking, wait a minute, if these guys are going to whack me, they're not going to whack me at Joe's sister's house. You know, so what do you what are you concerned about? Just drive up park, act natural like you always do and and let's see where this is going to go. And so I went, I get off, I knock on the door, his sister answers. She tells me, go to the back, go to the back, knock. His wife, Jody, answers the door, gives me a hug. I come in. He's watching TV. We're talking, talking business. And then that's when he produced the photograph of our Bill Bonds woman's husband. He's Bob Mrazek. He was a dope dealer. And and he was the husband of our Bill Bonds woman who was going through a divorce, so she wanted him killed so she could inherit everything.

You know what? Belize looks pretty nice this time of year, or Palm Springs. For a happy pride go to your happy prize, priceline. And we're back and it's time for the last of us. But before we get into explanation, it's important to note that Pedro's booked and busy between The Mandalorian and the last of us. Also important The Mandalorian is still ongoing. So there really is no between. It is just happening. Everything everywhere all at once. Featured as one of people's sexiest men alive in 2020. In 2021, he's cast in a Judd Apatow movie. He stars in a comedy with Nicolas Cage who I think is one of his biggest idols that premieres at south by Southwest in 2022. And now there's a last of us, the biggest show of the past three months that is about fungus and also a pandemic from what I understand. Well, it's about like the least delicious mushroom you could ever encounter. And I'm very much a fan of the fungi, the fungi, whatever you want to say. And that's scary to me. I don't like the idea of a mushroom that is scary. No, actually though. It's a show. It's based on this acclaimed video game that came out like ten years ago. It's about the 20 year aftermath of a horrific pandemic in which a fungi called cordyceps, it takes over people's brains. It makes people loopy, violent, cannibalistic, and if you get bit by somebody with the infection, they're called infected. Not zombies. They're very high brow show. You'll eventually have your skull split open by the mushrooms from within you. Your body gets kind of enveloped in this slimy, bright fungi. It's disgusting and nightmare inducing, but also kind of pretty, I don't know, it's strange. I'm reminded more and more why I haven't watched this show, but Pedro comes in at some point. That's the one thing that's almost gotten me. It's almost hooked me. Right, right, right, right. So he's one of our two main characters, basically one part of the us in the title. He's this taciturn Texan man who on the first day of the outbreak, 20 years prior to the events of the show. Lost his teenage daughter in sort of the zombie chaos. It's tragic. It's so sad. And 20 years later, he's still carrying that grief, but he's also kind of involved in smuggling, which is kind of like the inverse of his narcos character. But anyway, the show really picks up steam when he's tasked by this revolutionary group, the fireflies are like trying to liberate America. He's tasked by them to get a very, very special 14 year old girl across the country to a research hospital. And that teenager is this foul mouthed, very spunky orphan named Ellie. And Ellie's played with so much verve and energy by Bella Ramsey, and she's also mysteriously immune to cordyceps. And so within the world of the last of us, everybody like these revolutionaries seem to think that her immunity is the key to creating a vaccine that ends this 20 year misery parade. And of course, Joel, the character played by Pedro. Initially sees Ellie kind of as cargo and it was a way for him to get I think a truck, like something he needs. And he even calls her cargo to her face. It's very mean. Wow. But it kind of as they suffer through unspeakable horror after unspeakable horror. Their relationship develops into this inevitable father daughter dynamic. And now he's found a beautiful replacement daughter, I guess. Mary, very crude way to think about it. What bonds you closer together than unspeakable horror after unspeakable horror? There are so many, every single bonds or the strongest bonds I have in my life. The show just wouldn't work without him at the center. He's being these two things at once, a very ruthless survivor. He resorts to vicious violence all the time to make it through. And he's this like soft hearted, reluctant parent who is literally weeping in various episodes because he's so afraid of letting himself love again and letting anyone else in again. I mean, it's a very similar dynamic to The Mandalorian. Yes. Where he's like surrogate parent again. And so naturally that leads him to Internet daddy dumb. I mean, once you have two daddy rolls, like what else could you possibly be doing? Exactly, exactly. I'm assuming there are particular moments amid the beautiful horror of this show that the Internet has latched onto. Oh my God, yes. So I think the biggest one is Pedro as Joel embracing sweet Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey after yet another unspeakable horror. And reassuring her and saying, I've got you baby girl. It's okay, baby, girl. Look at you. And it's funny because the context of that scene is upsetting. Any terrifying. Ellie has just stabbed a pedophile kidnapper, dozens of times in the face in a burning building. And that didn't stop the Internet from immediately tweeting about how much they would like to be baby girl and how much they would like to be got. I mean, I know you're telling me this entire, this scene is surrounded by horror. And yet all I heard, the only thing that I heard over the past 5 minutes was baby girl. There is a weird inverse reaction to the scene too, where people in the Internet also said have decided now that the baby girl in question is Joel, again, the vicious brutal taciturn Texan man. But I mean, that also makes Pedro the baby girl. I mean, anything is really possible on the thirsty Internet. It really is true and there is this current kind of variation of thirst where people are saying he's still baby girl coded, which I think Pedro unintentionally fed into with saying that and I love to call back to something he says to his dying daughter. Listen, biological daughter. We find thirst in hopeless places. We did find thirsty and a hopeless place. Continually

"I love these videos. I love that. Same form of video. Because it's like wired the magazine, which is a print magazine, and also a digital online publication. They do really good work, too. They put a celebrity on camera. It's like a stark white background. And the celebrity is forced to hold a posterboard cutout of a Google search, and it's like full of all these kind of incomplete questions that are covered up by a piece of paper. And then the celebrity has to do this sort of like humiliating little funny ritual. Where they rip off the white paper to reveal what the rest of the commonly searched questions are about them. Yeah. I dance. Is there a video of you dancing? On the Internet? I don't know, but I realized that I didn't exercise, but I would go out, dancing. And that was my exercising. And if you drink Pedro Pascal dancing, I love that that's like one of the first things that comes up from a Google autocomplete search. Google's like, oh, you want to see this guy dance. I know you do. It's so obvious. And this video of Pedro and Oscar is truly one of my favorite things on the Internet. I have watched it so many times. I've put it in our thirst channel so many times. It's garnered over 10 million views since it was published in March 2019. And I would say at least a thousand of those are for me alone. And it deserves more. It's so fun and I think kind of gets the heart of what will eventually endear pages of the whole world, which is he just seems like a fun guy to hang around with. Oh my God, yeah. There's also a great moment in that video where it's like, who does patriot Pascal look like, which is a very weird thing that's so clear, some person was like, this guy looks like someone, but who was it? And Pedro says like, one time I got Tarantino and also a baby chicken. What? I don't know. But it's cute. And he's like laughing at himself in a very charming way. Yes, yes. I feel like a lot of actors are super self serious. Austin butler. Oh my God. Don't tell natira. Don't tell nadir. Tiny dear. It's just impossible to imagine what they'd be like at a dive bar. Just hanging out. And to be clear, actors don't owe us that. I was familiarity. I don't need to know what Austin butler is hanging out at a dive bar. But maybe because Pedro's fame art came a bit later in his life when he was more comfortable with who he is, or maybe just because that's the kind of person he is, but he always just comes across as someone who's having fun. Just having fun doing this job, not taking a super seriously. And it's infectious to watch. It really is. I also think he's kind of bewildered by the fact that he's so successful now. And it's just he's so delighted that it's finally happened for himself. I think if you were like withering away on the various laws and orders would also be so thrilled that somebody was asking you to do something different and something more ambitious. Yeah, yeah. Which takes us back to the timeline, which is, I think, the real moment where he ascended into everybody's home because we've got The Mandalorian, which started airing in 2019 and introduced the world both to baby Yoda, I am aware of not actually baby Yoda. Please no one tell me. I know. And also introduce the world to Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian who is a bounty hunter who's basically put in charge of said baby Yoda. And if there's anything the world loves, it's a gruff man who's now responsible for a child. More on that later. Oh yeah. Yeah. But I have to admit, I haven't seen The Mandalorian. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, though my family is, but from what I understand, it's like a pretty good show. Yeah, it's definitely one of those series that got like random American families to be like, all right, I guess I'll add this to my monthly Bill. Exactly. I'll finally get Disney+. I was like, okay. Fine. With my arm. It's like really striking for me that he really starts to gain or continues to gain international recognition in a role where he is almost constantly wearing a helmet. You don't really see his face for most of the show. Which seems almost antithetical to thirst, but then I think about people like anonymous YouTuber corpse husband who has the horniest fans in the world. Despite the fact that the only thing we know about corpse husband or what we know of what he looks like is his voice. Yeah. I mean, it's podcaster thing, too, is that people will fall in love with just your voice. And there's like a whole thing. I don't know if you've gotten those emails, but I have not. I doubt anyone was falling in love with my voice. That'd be wild. But voice first is real. I will say, totally. And I think in an interview somewhere, he's even said that The Mandalorian voice is like kind of a bedroom voice, which is like, and this Disney show. Uh oh. But also, I mean, the helmet is pretty sexy. It's very sleek. He looks good. Anything can be sexy if the voice is also sexy. That is true. That is true. And importantly, Star Wars is yet another franchise with like a huge legacy audience, much like Game of Thrones. So as the years go by, Pedro is becoming more and more of, if not like a household name, at least like a household face or people are like, who does this guy look like? Exactly. Exactly. Between narcos, Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian, I would venture that most people who watch a fair amount of television have seen him in something that he is starring in. Sure. And that doesn't even include Wonder Woman 1984. Another thing that he starred in that I unfortunately saw. We can't go there. We can't go there, but it introduced him to more and more audiences so that by the time we get to the moment where we're currently at, most people recognize him, they would think, oh yeah. Yeah. I know him. Which means by the time the last was premieres in January 2023, he's primed and ready. And now so are all of us. We're going to be toasted. Golden brown. Ready for a little bit of butter. Exactly. So we've laid the groundwork for the Pedro Pascal renaissance. And now it's time to get into the thing that has firmly catapulted him into a new level of fame and Internet thirst. After a short break, we'll be talking about the last of us, about hot ones, and about what it means to become the Internet's daddy. Whoo.

The Secret History of the Future
"pedro" Discussed on The Secret History of the Future
"I love these videos. I love that. Same form of video. Because it's like wired the magazine, which is a print magazine, and also a digital online publication. They do really good work, too. They put a celebrity on camera. It's like a stark white background. And the celebrity is forced to hold a posterboard cutout of a Google search, and it's like full of all these kind of incomplete questions that are covered up by a piece of paper. And then the celebrity has to do this sort of like humiliating little funny ritual. Where they rip off the white paper to reveal what the rest of the commonly searched questions are about them. Yeah. I dance. Is there a video of you dancing? On the Internet? I don't know, but I realized that I didn't exercise, but I would go out, dancing. And that was my exercising. And if you drink Pedro Pascal dancing, I love that that's like one of the first things that comes up from a Google autocomplete search. Google's like, oh, you want to see this guy dance. I know you do. It's so obvious. And this video of Pedro and Oscar is truly one of my favorite things on the Internet. I have watched it so many times. I've put it in our thirst channel so many times. It's garnered over 10 million views since it was published in March 2019. And I would say at least a thousand of those are for me alone. And it deserves more. It's so fun and I think kind of gets the heart of what will eventually endear pages of the whole world, which is he just seems like a fun guy to hang around with. Oh my God, yeah. There's also a great moment in that video where it's like, who does patriot Pascal look like, which is a very weird thing that's so clear, some person was like, this guy looks like someone, but who was it? And Pedro says like, one time I got Tarantino and also a baby chicken. What? I don't know. But it's cute. And he's like laughing at himself in a very charming way. Yes, yes. I feel like a lot of actors are super self serious. Austin butler. Oh my God. Don't tell natira. Don't tell nadir. Tiny dear. It's just impossible to imagine what they'd be like at a dive bar. Just hanging out. And to be clear, actors don't owe us that. I was familiarity. I don't need to know what Austin butler is hanging out at a dive bar. But maybe because Pedro's fame art came a bit later in his life when he was more comfortable with who he is, or maybe just because that's the kind of person he is, but he always just comes across as someone who's having fun. Just having fun doing this job, not taking a super seriously. And it's infectious to watch. It really is. I also think he's kind of bewildered by the fact that he's so successful now. And it's just he's so delighted that it's finally happened for himself. I think if you were like withering away on the various laws and orders would also be so thrilled that somebody was asking you to do something different and something more ambitious. Yeah, yeah. Which takes us back to the timeline, which is, I think, the real moment where he ascended into everybody's home because we've got The Mandalorian, which started airing in 2019 and introduced the world both to baby Yoda, I am aware of not actually baby Yoda. Please no one tell me. I know. And also introduce the world to Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian who is a bounty hunter who's basically put in charge of said baby Yoda. And if there's anything the world loves, it's a gruff man who's now responsible for a child. More on that later. Oh yeah. Yeah. But I have to admit, I haven't seen The Mandalorian. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, though my family is, but from what I understand, it's like a pretty good show. Yeah, it's definitely one of those series that got like random American families to be like, all right, I guess I'll add this to my monthly Bill. Exactly. I'll finally get Disney+. I was like, okay. Fine. With my arm. It's like really striking for me that he really starts to gain or continues to gain international recognition in a role where he is almost constantly wearing a helmet. You don't really see his face for most of the show. Which seems almost antithetical to thirst, but then I think about people like anonymous YouTuber corpse husband who has the horniest fans in the world.

The Boston strangler must be caught. You have a story. How many women have to die before it's a story? Costume strangler rated art. Now streaming only on Hulu and we're back. So we've both, I think, already established where our parasocial relationships with Pedro began because Darby was now this man. I would like to make that clear. But we need to go further back just to establish to think how big of a deal this current moment is. So Jose, Pedro, Bama sada, Pascal, was born on April 2nd, 1975, and Santiago Chile. He's been acting since he graduated from NYU's Tisch school of the arts in 1997. The beginning of his career was basically those bit parts that I feel like every single working actor and especially working actors of color have to do. He was on Law & Order criminal intent and Law & Order special victims. He was on graceland, which is a show. I'm kind of convinced that only I watched Pedro was also on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for like an episode who was on the good wife. He was on homeland. He was on the mentalist, which is, again, another one of those shows that I'm like, did I fever dream those commercials? Who watched that? Somebody did. Wow. But his big, big, big, big break came in 2013 when he was cast as oberyn martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones, which I kind of think lays the groundwork for his later ascendancy to the top of the thirst charts. I'm gonna try to avoid spoilers, but also at this point this season is almost ten years old at this point. So if you're spoiled, that's not my fault. Anyway, oberyn arrives in Westeros, which is the kingdom where Game of Thrones takes place. Basically to fuck shit up. You know why all the world hates an honest? You think your gold reliance and your gold lions make you better than everyone? Hey, tell your secret. You're not the golden Lion. You're just a pink little man who's fought too slow on the draw. Like he's just being rude and a little sassy and like a little bit of a detective trying to figure out what's going on with the Lannisters. So he's kind of like skulking around or like being in dark corners, wearing beautiful robes. He also is, as I said it by sexual king and has this very hot paramore, who he has very hot threesomes with. I had no idea. I can't believe I missed this. I can't believe you missed it either. It was a phenomenal season. The fourth season is maybe one of the best. So importantly, Game of Thrones has like this huge legacy fandom from the books and then from these previous seasons, there was already a lot of hype around oberyn's character. Book readers were really looking forward to seeing how he was going to be portrayed. And from what I understand, but people who exclusively watch the show and people who watch the show and read the books, both of them enjoyed his performance as Oprah, which is kind of rare when you think about how casting works for book adaptations. I think there's a similar thing happening with the last of us too, because that was originally a video game, but people, at least in my corners of the Internet, seem very, very happy with the sort of justice he did the character in the show. Yeah, which means that in doing these characters justice, he kind of becomes the canon description of the character, which means that there's just a shit ton of fanfic and fan art out there about Pedro as oberyn martell. Yeah, I mean, I checked archive of our own while you were explaining all that. And there's like over 2000 entries tag oberyn? Yeah, the over in dag. That's really respectable for a character with just a single season arc on the show. Yeah. So this is the first really strong entry in the page with thirst canon. The next one is narcos, which first aired in 2015. A Netflix show that's based on the story of Pablo Escobar and the DEA agent who took him down, Pedro Pascal plays DEA agent Javier Pena. I'm not gonna get into the politics of this show. Suffice to say that the drug war was a weird time. Still a weird time. And you know what? That's all we need to say about that. But the show narcos is extremely watchable. And it taught me 5 words of Spanish and also that Pedro just looks great in a tight pair of jeans. I'm personally brave enough to admit that years and years and years of television propaganda has gotten to my brain because I'm basically into any actor who's playing a fed with a bulletproof vest. Like a handgun. No, we can't get into it. Anyway, narcos is decently well reviewed, specifically the third season, which is the final season, which is led by Pedro. So narcos finishes airing in 2017. And from there, Pedro continues to get steady work in 2018. He stars in the equalizer two with Denzel Washington in 2019. He stars in that movie whose name I keep forgetting, trip or frontier with his bestie Oscar Isaac and also Ben Affleck is there. Sure. Why not? That same year he stars in The Mandalorian, which is the next really big entry in the page of timeline, but before we get into that, I just want to go back to triple frontier. Not because it's a good movie. But importantly, the press junket for this movie gives us one of the most important artifacts in the Pedro timeline. A wired autocomplete interview with

"I am genuinely a longtime listener. One time producer of the pod. And it's really exciting to be on this side of things. Also importantly, you are not just a producer extraordinaire, you've also written for slate about everything from spring awakening to euphoria to pro IRA memes on TikTok, which is one of those sleep pieces that has just stayed in my head for years at this point. Oh my God, I love those memes. Every once in a while I check in on IRA TikTok just to see what the teens are cooking up about car bombs and things like that. I was like, they're cooking up wild top cocktails. Exactly. You are also a prolific member of our sleep thirst channel, which I am convinced will cause somebody to quit one day. But it'll all be worth it. Oh, of course. It'll have been worth it. But before that happens, this channel is directly inspiring today's episode, which is going to be a very fun one. But before we get into that, who's your first Internet celebrity crush? The crush that you've kept up with religiously, who may be still forms like 10% of your brain. Oh my God. This is such an easy answer for me. So I was watching YouTube a lot, but I was watching really wholesome YouTube. And I feel like the best person on wholesome YouTube was Charlie McDonnell. AKA Charlie is so cool, like. I also have the biggest crush on her. He's a huge huge crush. She's British. She's from bath in England. And she had that kind of like nerd charm that I particularly was like obsessed with and then maybe like horned up by as a queen. Was like vlogging. She'd write these funny little ukulele songs. She would do challenges from subscribers. I don't honestly, I still have a crush on her. She's like 32. She's very much like a peer now. And she came back to YouTube very recently. It's been since 2018. She announced her transition, which is really exciting, or gender transition that is. And I was just so happy to see her back on YouTube, doing her thing. If it has been a while since you last saw me, I will now address the elephant in the room. I got a bangs. I mean, no, I'm a woman now. Surprise. So yeah, I'm a transgender woman. My pronouns are she they? And I am continuing to use the name Charlie. Those are the headlines. So I remember watching all of these videos, I remember the red hair dying. And then that became her think for a while. Like she just had red hair. Yeah, totally. I mean, that is, as I said before, the perfect segue into our episode, which is about our and also everyone else's current Internet crush. Today, we're talking about the Internet's favorite daddy, Pedro Pascal. I have been on the Pedro train since I would say like 2014 when he played oberyn martell on Game of Thrones. I watched narcos. I watched that weirdly dark and sad heist movie that he did with Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac, whose name always escaped me. I looked it up as called triple frontier. I've seen this movie. I just don't know what it's called. I've been in the trenches watching that one wired autocomplete interview for the past four years and now the rest of the world is catching up and I'm thrilled, join me. This is an indoctrination camp. It 100% is. This is my programming camp. When did your journey on the page of train begin? Okay, so I'm new to the pager train, but I am a passionate passenger again. Yeah. It's wild to think about though. Basically every third video now on my for you page is a Pedro and Bella Ramsey fan edit. I guess you can't even really call it a fan cam 'cause they're always set to these like life ruining sad Phoebe bridger's songs because they're all from the last of us. And he's just an exceptional actor. I think he's really, really great in this TV show. And I can't believe I'm just learning now from this research and this show that he was playing sexually fluid on Game of Thrones? Yes, he was. And I'm like, that might be the thing that makes me go finally watch Game of Thrones, or I could just like read the fanfic. I would maybe say reap the fanfic, but I would also say watch the show, 'cause there's some phenomenal scenes. But before you do that, we have a show to do because for those of y'all in the audience who are neither passengers, like Madeline or conductors like me on the Pedro train. We're here to give you the rundown on why everyone is suddenly obsessed with one Pedro Pascal. We're gonna go through his journey from bit actor in every single crime procedural that ever aired on the USA Network. To Game of Thrones by sexual icon, oberyn martell

Who's Being Targeted With 'Black PR'? Mike Benz Explains
"Back to what's happening internally and the story that you broke on Tuesday. But explain these two concepts black PR or crisis PR and who's being targeted with regards to that mic. So the idea is a democracy is a struggle for hearts and minds of the public who in turn picks their government representatives. And so that is essentially a struggle between, you know, what's sort of known in the PR space is sort of white PR, which is positive press about someone or black VR, which is sort of negative press or leaving a mark. Or inducing a crisis. Crisis management crisis PR. These are terms for destabilizing a political figure or a region in order to open up opportunities in order to replace that person politically. And so for example, in the integrity initiative, there was a Spanish vox party of general official Pedro bannis was his name. And the UK intercluster cell of which Nina jankovic was the part, as was Anne applebaum from the Atlantic, as was Ben nimmo from the Atlanta council and from now, by the way, head of threat intelligence at Facebook. Top sensor at Facebook was a part of this as well with Nina jankovic. They bragged in their own internal reports how they organized a crisis PR set of hashtags and rumors online coordinated through their stakeholder group in order to create nightmare press for Pedro banos. And then take that press and run it straight to the prime minister of Spain in order to convince the prime minister of Spain that it would be hugely unpopular to have Pedro banos in this national security position because of all the bad PR that

Jay Ashcroft Discusses the Voter Registration Database Called ERIC
"Joining us now is Secretary of State from Missouri, J ashcroft, who is helping lead a effort of Missouri, Florida and West Virginia out of Eric, which is a very important story here. Secretary of State ashcroft welcome to the program. What is ER IC or Eric? And they say it's bipartisan, but what is the truth? Please explain. Thanks for having me. Eric was supposed to be an organization run by states that would share election data and use that to clean up their voter rolls and look for people that were trying to vote in multiple states or did vote in multiple states. I joined Eric with that goal in mind and about a year ago I realized that there were some things wrong with it. They weren't requiring states to share data that would help us find people that were voting in multiple states. They were requiring us to try to get people registered to vote that had already said they didn't want to be registered to vote. Instead of just cleaning up our voter rolls, they were restricting how we could use the data that we got from them inside our state to make the best use of the people's money. And of course, many states that surround Missouri, we have 8 states that surround us 5 of them weren't a part of Eric. So it really just didn't make sense for us to stay in it. And I think what really should be talked about is why wasn't Eric willing to focus on going after vote fraud, making sure that the roles were cleaned. Why weren't they willing to make those necessary changes?

"Pedro, welcome to the show. Tell our tell our audience about the article you wrote in the argument that you want to present. Charlie, thanks so much for having me. So the title kind of says it all. The word draconian ism comes after an Athenian statesman slash tyrant named Draco. But I'm going to defend tyranny here for a moment. Draco is infamous because he, on the one hand, prescribed death for pretty much every type of offense in ancient Athens, but on the other hand, he introduced the first written legal code to the city. And you have to put Draco in the proper historical context. At the time, the laws in Athens were oral laws, and so they were subject to a lot of abuse and exploitation by capricious aristocrats, so Draco comes in and says, high and low, you break the law, you die. Here's a written legal code, so there is no confusion. And so that actually starts the wheels reform and later you get another statesman slash quasi tyrant named solon who comes along and he pretty much appeals the vast majority of Draco's legal code, but he keeps actually a homicide statute, Draco innovated in the sense that he made a distinguished between essentially manslaughter and deliberate homicide. But the point is, is that walls stolen has become a kind of by word for political wisdom and Draco's name became the root of unduly harsh punishment. You actually needed draconian ism to get to solid. In other words, you needed the sword to get political stability in order. And so my piece concludes with that, but it starts with the story of today and crime and punishment in the United States. And in a nutshell, despite what we've been told, we actually don't punish people harshly enough and specifically the right kind of people. We're told that the United States has way too many people in prison and the vast majority of people are in prison or they're there because they jaywalked. They got caught with like a doobie or something like that. Just this kind of ridiculous sentimental narrative of just mass injustice, right? Well, that's not actually true. I mean, if you look at state prisons, the vast majority of people who are in state prison are there for serious crimes around 60% are in for things like rape and murder and things like that. And most of the people that are in for drug related crimes, it's not just because they caught with like a single joint or something like that. They're usually involved in trafficking or dealing or things like that. And I really rely a lot on a Professor of criminal justice named Barry latzer and his book is called the myth of over punishment. So you can kind of see where I got my title from. And so I using ladders research the book was published last year. It flew under the radar. I really recommend it. It's super informative. Lots of brings tons of data to bear. He also has some conclusions. He tries to propose things, you know, that we can all agree on, maybe there are some things that we should reform with the criminal justice system. But the basic central narrative of incarceration today is that we have too many of the wrong people in prison. Lads who says, actually, we don't put the right people the right type of person in prison and keep them there. And we actually give them too many opportunities to get up. It's a pager that's really smart. I said a couple of weeks ago, we do not have enough people in prison and media matters came after me immediately. But when you look into the statistics and I was challenged by a friend of mine about 5 years ago, because I too used to repeat this lie, like, oh, our prison population is so big. But if you look at, for example, the average rapist will spend between three to 5 years in prison, and that's a rapist with DNA evidence convicted by a jury of his peers. I mean, that alone should at least animate some of the more left wing kind of social justice groups. I want to play cut one 19 where the average, the murderer in D.C. has been arrested 11 times before. 11 times before. And so the argument Pedro is making that really be fetal should think about. Is it time for us to get harsher on crime to become more draconian? I certainly resonate with that play cut one 19. In guns off the street, what we got to do, we really want to see homicides go down. Just keep bad guys with guns in jail because when they in jail, they can't be in community shooting people. So when people talk about what we're going to do different or what we should do different, what we need to do different, that's the thing that we need to do different. We need to keep violent people in jail. Right now, the average homicide suspect, the average homicide suspect has been arrested 11 times prior to them committing a homicide..

"Gears for a second, Nikki Haley is now running for the presidency. I just want to kind of queue you up here and then you can riff. Let's go to, we got so many Nikki Haley cuts. Let's just pick one that we have not yet played, cut 93, of course, I think the conservative movement is exhausted with identity politics. But maybe not, play cut 92. I have devoted my life to this fight, and I'm just getting started. For a strong America. For a proud America, I am running for president of the United States of America. Pedro she's running your thoughts. Nikki Haley is the dying gasp of the neoconservative establishment to take all of its discredited and awful ideas and basically jam them into a skin suit with a mouth and vocal cords known as Nikki Haley. I mean, it's terrible. She doesn't have an original idea in her head. It's just, you know, it's like she was incubated in a Petri dish beneath Karl rove's home, I really it's difficult to actually put into words how much contempt I have for people like her. Precisely because they claim to be sort of this next generation of leaders, but they're not. They're the dead consensus in the zombified form except wearing high heels. It's really, in some ways it's actually worse. I think I actually have less hatred for like the neocons of yesteryear because they were kind of reacting to some things and they're at least a little bit more intelligent. Again, Nikki Haley really does strike me as just a kind of robot that's been programmed to conduct this kind of suicide mission to save neoconservatism from oblivion, which I think hopefully that's where it's headed for.

Why Aren't the Radical Progressives Fighting for Eastern Ohio?
"We've seen in Ohio situations like this typically Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would be out front. For example, Bernie Sanders would make special trips out to north and South Dakota to try to block dapple the Dakota access pipeline. Elizabeth Warren, I remember I'm sure we could get video or images of it. She used to fly to Seattle for the wage strikes, if I remember correctly, Bernie Sanders flew down to a labor dispute. I think it was either Toyota or Amazon. Do you remember this? It was they were trying to unionize and Bernie Sanders parachuted in. The point being is Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders seem to just kind of be on constant tour going from one labor fight to anti corporate demonstration to the other. However, when eastern Ohio, the muscular class middle class Midwest, mostly white area, is legitimately attacked, or let's be even more neutral. Harmed. By either negligence or just corruption and there is an environmental component to it, which is one of the sacred gods of the modern American left, there's silence and there's almost disinterest. Why? That's a great question. And I don't have an easy answer. I mean, I think that's you hit on something. And I think that unfortunately this is just the reality is that east Palestinian is a largely white working class town. These are just not people that we, by we, I mean, the American political establishment really cares about. They're just not people that capture headlines. And it's really interesting because, you know, in recent days and in the last week or so, there's been an army of reporters that are coming through and sort of getting the story and kind of trying to make this about basically everything except for the town itself. It's really interesting.

Pedro Gonzalez Shares the Latest Out of East Palestine, Ohio
"What did you learn visiting east palestin Ohio? I went to east Palestinian with a lot of questions that I hoped to get answered and I left actually with just more questions because that's the reality on the ground for people who live there. East Palestinian is a village of about 5000 people and they are essentially in the dark about what's happening literally in their own backyard. They do not trust the conflicting reports that are coming out of various environmental and health agencies, precisely because they are conflicting. It seems like there is always a statement that is contradicted within a day or so and they obviously have no faith in the railroad company Norfolk Southern and actually doing a good job overseeing its own the cleanup of its own mess. That is where pretty much all of the anger is directed right now. There's also a lot of frustration with governor Mike dewine, especially because the wine was really proactive as we know with COVID. He blocked people in their homes and he was very, very aggressive when it came to him. But on this, dewine has been noticeably kind of AWOL. Or at least his approach to handling this really severe crisis for a small town that's been economically depressed for a long time is really, really different to his approach to COVID in a bad way. I mean, and again, this is a quintessential middle American small town. I spoke to a family that has lived there, their entire lives. They met in high school actually and the only time that the husband had left this town was to serve in the military. They both work at a factory that at a ceramics factory with kilns that are over a hundred years old and they have, they live there because it's home, not because obviously it's a thriving and prosperous town, but because east Palestine is home to these people. And right now they feel abandoned and isolated.

Lindsey Graham's Hidden Agenda With Pedro Gonzalez
"Us now is Pedro Gonzalez, check out his substack contra, I'm a subscriber to it and I learn a lot. Pedro, welcome to program. I really want to talk about Lindsey Graham with you. I thought you had some of the best commentary on that. I'm a Trump supporter in 2024. And I am disturbed and bothered at Lindsey Graham's proximity to Donald Trump. Let's play cut 47 and then I want you to react to play cut 47. I am for Trump, not because of the flaws of anybody else. I'm for Donald Trump because I know what I'm going to get. We need somebody that on day one can get this country back on track that can secure our border and bring order out of chaos. Somebody the Russians and the Chinese fear. Somebody that can take the fight to the terrorist. They Abraham accords the result of Donald Trump in pressing the Arabs and Israelis. He is the best solution to the problems we face, not because of the flaws of others, but because what I know he can do. Does he believe that Pedro your reaction? I don't know, because Lindsay has built his career online to people and probably lying to himself. But I think the bottom line is exactly what you said at the outset that it's not a good sign that Lindsey Graham is in such close proximity to Trump. And the idea that Trump needs Lindsey Graham's support in order to win South Carolina that argument just seems to not make sense at all. And if that's true, that actually means that Trump has bigger problems than people, I guess, are aware of, right? If Lindsey Graham is critical to your success, that's not a good sign for your campaign. So really, there's no rational reason for the right to make excuses for Lindsey Graham's proximity to Trump. And I think that Graham is among the most pernicious in the GOP precisely for the reasons that I outlined the other night on Tucker Carlson, but I can actually go a little bit more in depth here because I have more time. But again, people look at people look at Graham and they see this kind of goofy character who's ultimately harmless, but he's not

AOC Gets Heated on the House Floor
"Got very upset. AOC is speaking on the House floor about the ingrate, Elon Omar, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, was really fired up that Elon Omar is no longer on the foreign affairs committee. AOC is celebrating black history month by pretending to be black, play cut 94. Don't tell me that this is about an condemnation of anti semitic remarks when you have a member of the Republican caucus who have talked about Jewish space lasers and an entire amount of tropes and also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments in this body. This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America. Don't tell me because I didn't get a single. Time is expired. Thank you. And she's jumping around, the extra rhetorical blackface, okay? It's called code switching is what it is to try to talk like a black person.

Rep. Jim Jordan Shares His Top Priorities
"The top of the agenda for you here in the House judiciary committee? I mean, you're off to a fast start. What are the top priorities for both oversight, but also making sure that we hold the Biden administration accountable? Well, the first priority is the border with why we had our first hearing immediately after that hearing that you just referenced there where we organized. We held a hearing on the border situation. And I think there are three fundamental questions. How did it happen? Why does it matter? How do we fix it? How it happened, we all know that. This is intentional, what the Biden administration has done because on day one, Joe Biden said, we are going to stop building the wall. We're not going to we're going to get rid of remain in Mexico to people seeking asylum. And we're not going to deport anyone. And then you get this flux influx of people, this unbelievable number, never seen in the history of our country, record numbers, month after month after month, 5 million 2 years. So that's how it happened. Why it matters is what we really tried to get across in our hearing on Wednesday where we had a father who lost a son to fentanyl. We had a deputy sheriff, excuse me, a county sheriff who talked about in his 38 years in law enforcement. Two years ago, he said was the best, the border situation has ever been. Today, it's the worst. I mean, it literally what he said. And he said, it's the worst because all the people coming across, but the crime, the cost of communities, the cost of schools, the cost of local hospitals, the cost of the entire country. The cost to our system, and then the focus on processing these individuals, what to Biden administration is doing. And then you can't catch the fentanyl and everything else in the smuggling and all the bad things that are happening coming across in outside the ports of entry. So that was why it matters and then of course what we're going to do in the committee is fix it by passing legislation that will immigration enforcement legislation that will change the policy back to the policy, frankly, we had under president Trump. That's what we're going to do. Joe Biden may not sign those bills, but our job is to pass them and show the country what actually works. So that'll be a huge focus. And then, of course, as you mentioned, the oversight because we do believe that our government now has been turned against the people and in many ways is targeting the very people it's supposed to represent and that we have a double standard of justice in the country.

The Biden Doc Distraction With Peter Schweizer
"Research is fabulous. It's impressive. It's thoughtful and you really did a lot of work on it. Obviously. And work that other people did not do. So I'm just going to kind of allow you to riff and to walk our audience through it. What do you think is going on with this Biden document scandal saga and how, if at all, does it connect with the Biden crime syndicates for in deals? Great question, Charlie. I mean, to me, the Biden document scandal is sort of the typical bureaucratic approach by which is basically avoiding the bigger scandal and going off on this little sort of technicality. So what do I mean? We have now known for quite some time. It's not been disputed. It's clear in corporate records, financial records from China and Hong Kong elsewhere. That the Biden family got some $31 million from four Chinese businessmen beginning when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. And those four Chinese businessmen who gave these tens of millions of dollars to the bidens all have links to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence. So one of them who Hunter Biden and the laptop calls the super chairman, his name is che Feng at the same time he was pouring money into the coffers of the Biden family was business partners with the vice minister of state security with responsible for foreign espionage. I could go through the other three businessmen as well, but they have similar types of ties. Visiting massive issue in acid problem that the mainstream media has largely ignored, frankly, completely ignored. The Biden family does not dispute does not want to discuss it. And now you have the document scandal erupt and the issue is really over the handling of classified material.

Why Is the Media Covering Up Atlanta's Shocking Pedophile Abuse Ring?
"Go back to the Atlanta story, we'd be a cath wall from town hall on. This is extraordinary stuff and you have the courage to kind of go through all this. Why is it that the media, not just ignores this, but they're actively producing cover for this. Worse than it is. Because I think we have sacred people in our society, people that are basically beyond reproach, people whose lifestyles are not just beyond criticism, but in fact, we have to glorify them, right? It's kind of like we're all supposed to be subject to these kind of struggle sessions. If we break party line on this and in this case, it's specifically people who fall under the LGBTQ rainbow. And that story that took place in the Atlanta area suburbs and this story that took place from Philadelphia to Hawaii, there was a third accomplice in New York and we could talk more about the tactics they used because part of the reason I wrote this is to actually inform parents on what to look out for because of how these people operated online. But everyone involved in both of these stories, their gay men, which is very obviously this is like a group that you're not allowed to criticize in society today, right? And worst of all, in the town hall story, and in my story, there's adopted children involved. The Philadelphia teacher, when the FBI executed a search warrant at his home in roxborough Philadelphia, which is considered, by the way, one of the safest, most family, friendly neighborhoods in Philadelphia. It's very quaint, very, you know, it's the perfect kind of place. I think that the motto is a place with roots, you know, just like the kind of the perfect place to raise kids. Well, not really. Or at least in this case. But anyways, when the FBI showed up at his door, they found that he lives alone with a 6 month old girl. And it's not clear. Local reporters have tried to figure out whether or not it's his biological daughter, but they know that he's not married and that he lives alone with her.

"I want to encourage you to support and check out Pedro Gonzalez's substack. It's called contra contra substack dot com. Pedro is special and he is unafraid and he talks about issues that are so critical right now. And you guys got to support him at contra substack dot com and he writes about things that really people are afraid of talking about. We're going to get right into that Pedro. Welcome back. Happy Friday. Charlie. Thanks so much for having me. I appreciate that intro. Of course, all right Pedro, let's get into this story you have here on your substack. Groomers online. Tell us about it. Yeah. Well, it will sound eerily reminiscent to another story that was recently published in town hall about a couple of game men who were also outspoken LGBT rights activists who sodomized their adoptive children and produced child pornography. I mean, really, really heinous stuff, right? And so I had actually covered a story that's kind of similar, but admittedly not nearly as bad. It's bad, but not that bad. Last year, while it was still developing. And so basically, the FBI uncovered a network of a network of mostly gay men who are producing and distributing child pornography online using apps like telegram and kick. There's a whole aspect of online anonymity enabling this stuff, but the most disturbing element of the story is that several of the people that are involved in this that were in communication were teachers. So it actually started with a teacher in Philadelphia. Working at a private school. So don't think that this is a public school thing. This was a prestigious private school in Philadelphia. This teacher had worked there for nearly two decades, and Dropbox notified an organization that's in charge of kind of fielding complaints related to this sort of thing, which are then forwarded to law enforcement. So Dropbox flagged a file that had been uploaded that depicted two underaged boys engaging in sexual acts.

"Is your market update. Let's get a check of global news at Baxter's in San Francisco. It all right, thank you, Paul can do Hong Kong now says it will end the outdoor mask rule and relax COVID testing. This is Beijing continues to step away from its COVID zero policies as a warning out today that most of the population may eventually get COVID 80 to 90%. U.S. Congress preparing to pass legislation revamping U.S. policy toward Taiwan and restricting government use of Chinese semiconductors. Peru has a new president as vice president Dina borate has been sworn in after president Pedro Castillo's attempt to dissolve Congress before he was impeached, so let's go through the day and drill down a bit on this. Joining us live is Stefan kufner, who is a Bloomberg's Ecuador and Peru correspondent in Bogotá. Stefan, let's go through the day's events. So president Castillo attempted to dissolve the parliament, not take it from there. Yes, that was to head off the impeachment that was supposed to be impeachment trial that was supposed to go ahead today during the afternoon. So in the late morning hours, the Castillo announced that he was closing Congress, accusing Congress of having done away with checks and balances. He announced a curfew. He announced the dissolution of the Congress in favor of a constitutional assembly to rewrite the constitution. And all of that collapsed within a matter of hours, because he seems to have prepared it rather badly, but none of his cabinet ministers stepped forward to say they supported this move, the constitutional court very quickly called it a coup and Congress met early at noon to decide on his impeachment at overwhelmingly voted to impeach him. Also the armed forces and police issued a statement upholding constitutional order and refusing to go along with it. So in the afternoon then Congress simply went ahead and swore in his vice president, as you mentioned, Dina proved as perused next president. And she's been meeting senior officials yet, but we don't have any information on the specifics of the new government, though she did promise in her inaugural speech that she would seek a cabinet of national unity to serve out the term that Castillo was elected to less than a year and a half ago, in fact. Yeah, this is what the 6th president since what 2018 am I remembering that correctly? We're still counting. Peru has suffered from has suffered from very deep political instability and no president, no elected president has been able to serve out his term since 2016. Okay, so now Castillo is in custody correct. What charges does he face? Well, he's already been accused of sedition of we're breaking the public order and constitutional order. So this comes on top of the corruption allocations that were previously filed against him by Peru's prosecutor general. So he is facing a long list of charges. Now, the president, as I understand it, the group of lawmakers with which he has to work is relatively small. Not intimate, but what, a hundred, just over a hundred plus, and so it's an interesting relationship between the two. Is it not? It is, especially as peruse Congress is one of the smallest perk CAPiTA in Latin America. And it is very fragmented in the number of, I mean, it's not just your basic conservative versus left of center, social democratic political system, but you've got it fragmented in a large number of political parties. And so she's got to start trying to build a successful coalition to back her from a very fragmented political system. She also said today that political reform to overcome this fragmentation is one of the main issues that she's going to pursue. All right, we really appreciate your time, Stefan. Thank you so much. And yeah, interesting days ahead. Seth and kufner are Bloomberg Ecuador and Peru correspondent

We get the scary, we'll get the liberating, we get the being intentional, getting clear with what you want, what you want out of it, we get the taking those four different things. And making it so that you can rebrand. But what did you have to rebrand? Was it the intro? Was it the artwork? Yourself kind of what went into a rebrand for a podcast that we need to be conscious of. All of it. I changed the name, colors. My personality too in the podcast. Touch it in more to like my other thing that I'm building with my personal brand. More of my touch. Intro, everything, you know? Did the music change too? Everything. The music. Wow. I can't completely a 100% rebranded. Yeah, I didn't, it was like, if I gonna start something new, it's gonna be a 100% new. I'm not gonna take anything that I did with the previous one, you know? I'm gonna do everything brand new. Yeah. So you've got to do all of those things. What was it like talking to Apple and the RSS feed in telling them that now your podcast is called something else. Because when we start a podcast, sometimes we have to give them the suggestion of what that name would be. And then they will approve or not approve of it. Some people don't actually get approved for their podcast name. So for you, you switching the name, what did it take you to call somebody or was it all online? How did that work? To be honest with you, man, I use lips in one test platform. I literally just went in there, changed the name, submitted it, and nobody asked any questions. So it was that easy. Cool. And what made the rebrand successful?

And you were talking about how you're not really in the place that you ultimately want to be. You're not at that place yet. You're still learning. You're still growing. You're in a great place. But you want more. And some of us as entrepreneurs, we definitely want things done yesterday. I'm sure you're that way. I'm that way. And I had this client, we serve podcasters, so she's a brand new podcaster, and she has at 5 weeks, she called me, and she's like, hey, Adam, I'm nervous. I don't think this is going very well. She had a few thousand downloads already, just after 5 weeks. And I told her two things. And I think that the listener needs to hear this too. Number one, I said, with your podcast in those first 5 weeks of you launching, you're already at numbers that many other podcasters who launch without doing the marketing and stuff. Where they barely get after a year or two. You're at a place where a huge majority of podcasters aren't even there after a year or two. And she's like, really? It doesn't seem that big and I'm like, you're already doing great. So that was the first thing is even just a little bit of traction is something that not everybody gets. But second thing that I thought was most important is I said to her, her name is Amanda. I said, Amanda, I got to tell you a story. It was last Wednesday. We're recording on a Wednesday today. And so one week ago today, I paid off a couple of rentals. Pedro, you're in real estate as well. And so I had these just a couple of houses, a couple of small mortgages, and I just had so much extra money in the bank because of my podcast that I was just like, I guess I'm just gonna pay off these mortgages. Like, what else are we gonna do with that money? These are high interest mortgages because they're private loans. 1% a month, 12% annualized. And I'm like, yeah, just may as well pay it off. I've got all the money sitting there. And all of the money came from my podcast. All of that money came directly from my podcast. So regardless if it was tens of thousands, 100,000s, hundreds of thousands, like I was able to pay off a couple of mortgages and it came from my podcast. And then I said to her, I said Amanda, I've had my podcast for two years now. I've been publishing episodes for over two years. Is this didn't happen in my first 5 weeks? And she's like, oh, okay, okay, so you're telling me I got to keep you're telling me I got to keep going. And I think that's the big takeaway is, yeah. And Pedro, you keep saying the average people podcasters stop at 6, 7, 8 episodes. I've heard the statistic that something like 90% of podcasts don't make it past 6 or ten episodes. So it's basically exactly what you're saying. And so I want to find out how do you

"So I think one of the things that I can tell someone trying to start a podcast is, first of all, this is a long-term commitment. This is the reason why I have a 110 episodes, and it's been a learning curve. You know, it's been a lot of learning a lot of lessons that I've been learning to a hundred and almost 12 episodes. Also, I've been developing a lot of skills, you know? Has helped me a lot to get better in my content creation and some other stuff that I like to do. But I think the first thing that you can do if you get started is to get clear what it is your message. You know, I have a formula that is called the four. Values that he's like, what is a message for for who it is? What is the purpose of your podcast and what is the message you want to come across with, you know? So I think when you get clear, it's almost like when you're building your customer avatar in your business, right? When you get who's your target audience, you're doing the same thing with your podcast. You're getting clear on who's going to be the audience you want to reach out, whether that's entrepreneurs. In my case, that's my point, right? I want to talk to entrepreneurs. What is the message that I want to bring to them and how to go from good to great, how to go from fearful to fierce, you know? Things like that. That's when you start getting clear because when you can get to define what is your message, who is your audience, is going to be easier for you to create that content around your podcast, the type of guests that you want to bring in, you know, I'm sure you have that experience at them. Sometimes you bring some guests and he's like, man, this is not really the right fit for my podcast, you know? And that's one of the lessons that I have learned because I didn't define that at the beginning. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I'm making a couple of notes. One of the things that I really want you to go back over so I can have it all. Is you said that there's four main things that the entrepreneur or the podcaster needs and the first one was figuring out what's the message who is it for? What were the other two? Yeah, so first of all, we have like I was saying like, what is the purpose of your podcast pretty much? I got to pull it out here, man, so I can. Okay, cool. Definition. While you're pulling it up, I want to go over a couple things that you've mentioned. So go ahead and pull that up. Here's one of the things that I like. So Pedro jumps on and my very first question, by the way, hey, listen to this listener. My very first question was not tell us a little bit about yourself. How did you get I didn't say that kind of stuff. I was like, what value do you want to give to a new podcast? And he said, sharpen your axe.

This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up podcaster at your host anime Adams and today, I've got a beast of a person on the podcast. In fact, his show is called chronicles of a modern beast, so Pedro menesis has been a podcast for a little while. He's got over a hundred episodes of these published, and one really cool thing is that he's got over a hundred ratings and reviews on his podcast. You may or may not know the statistic but a hundred ratings or reviews puts him in the top .6% of all podcasts in the entire world. Hell yeah, man. How you doing? I'm doing great, brother. How are you? I'm doing great. So we are going to figure out what kind of value we're going to add to our listener. Our listener today is a podcaster. They've been podcasting most likely less than two years. So they're fairly new. They might even be launching a show right now. So we're going to add value to that person. Pedro, your bio is already in the show notes. Your podcast link to chronicles of a modern beast is already in the show notes. So we're going to skip the bio, not have to read it for the listener. And I want to go straight into this. Pedro through your journey of a hundred plus episodes, a hundred plus ratings and reviews, getting in the top .6% based on ratings and reviews, what have you learned that you want to give to a brand spanking new podcast or less than two years or about to launch that can help them kind of follow in your footsteps? Yeah, absolutely, man. You know what our first thing that I could tell a new podcast series to sharpen your ex first, you know? I'm the kind of person that I'm an entrepreneur, so every time I have a new idea, I just jump right in. I jump off the cliff and then I start building the airplane. That's how I act. And honestly, that is something that I'm working on a lot, you know, because I know that's not the right way to do it. I mean, I'm not telling you not to be an action taker. You have to be an action taker, but you also have to be mindful of how do you take action, right? So when I first started my podcast, and I started it because I had a need to get the message across to the industry that I was serving.

Your audience is on different locations in the U.S.. Some of these states don't require the same requirements as California does. And so some of the students would not be aware of those requirements. We take that into consideration. So we look at those items and we understand what state they're coming from and we try to help prepare them to meet all the requirements as easily as possible and ensure that they meet everything. And if it's something that we can quickly suggest, we encourage that. And many of our C issues also have other departments just like mine that have a specific branch focused on supporting students that want to look at our admissions process and can actually sit with the counselor or do a group presentation a better understand and ask questions to help them meet these requirements because they seem simplistic, but they sometimes get a little bit more complicated when now you start looking at your situation.

And I think that's the critical piece we walk away from not worried about what the requirements are because they're unique slightly within each campus, even though they're based in the same foundation, but really where do I get the support? How do I go get the answers to my questions and how do they help me go ahead and process these items every step of the way. And every student that we get, we walk through what we call the funnel in admissions. It's a funnel. They go from one stage to the next stage to the next stage. And as they go through it, they have new things that they have to either accomplish or do. You know, when you first submit an application, you've got to send in some documents for us to verify. As you go through that next stage, there is a stage of, okay, now I've been offered admission. I need to go ahead and actually get some other things done like get my scholarship application, get my other items in as far as any missing item that I need to finish any requirement for tuition. Any residency documents, anything like that. And so for each phase, these individuals that I talked about are present in each of our campus to help kind of migrate themselves through each of these phases and get to the point where when May comes around its decision time and they have to pick that one campus and if they selected us, they had they basically would have completed everything that they needed to do to prepare for themselves for registering for courses in the summer for the coming terms that they're coming into. Or if they're in spring, doing it in January. So the biggest pointer, like I said, that I would walk away from not really worried about the requirements. Really worried about making sure you get in front of people that can answer your questions. And that's the admissions counselors or the outreach teams that are available at each of our campuses. And that's great. And to speak to your point about my listeners, I think, for the show, I'm hoping that with a big draw like Pedro Martinez on the docket that I draw some California listeners, right? That's what we hope..

"Of Famer Pedro Martinez by his side I am going to start with lynching on this Yeah he's great He's one of the most popular figures in the history of Boston sports a big poppy David Ortiz first time eligible on the ballot We're surrounded by Pedro Martinez one of his daughters and his dad was sitting right next to him and that's where he wanted to be with his dad I was with David last week at a function in Boston and he said I'm going to be with my dad because my dad introduced me to the game of baseball and when I was in the Dominican my dad gave me some checklists He said try to make it to the United States Try to make a major league team try to be a starter Try to be in all star Try to win a World Series He says but my dad never said try to get into the Hall of Fame It was something I never ever thought about And he said this would really be something if I was in cooperstown with all these great heroes of the game and now he's there and he couldn't be happier and only one of the players that could into the Hall of Fame David Ortiz So that's a big story and who didn't get into the hall of it was probably his biggest story as well Yes Barry Bonds Roger Clemens easily some would argue the best hitter in the best picture in history is certainly during their era falling way short on their final attempt to be voted into the Hall of Fame The people who support the argument that even before the steroid era each of these players had Hall of Fame caliber numbers But it's notable that unlike David Ortiz who appeared to be universally loved in Boston is that fair to say lynchy Without question Okay Roger Clemens Barry Bonds Not necessarily universally well liked players or beloved players Well one thing to remember it takes 75% of the baseball writers association of America to say hey you're in Big poppy got almost 78% Barry Bonds on his tenth and final tribe by the baseball writers He got about 66% I believe and then everyone else fell after that And Sammy Sosa Oh my goodness he only got 18.5% and that's his last attempt at least going through the writers You know the writers are divided into two camps There was 397 writers who vote on this And broadcasters have never been allowed And that's one of the unfair It is Are you trying to tell me that Vin Scully doesn't know as much about the baseball game as any writer If Bob Costas doesn't know as much that Al Michaels doesn't know as much but that's the rules and that's the way it's been going for a long long time But there are some old school writers who a on principle alone never vote for anybody on their first ballot Willie Mays and Hank Aaron Yeah They don't get in And somebody that writers did not vote for them on their first first time that they were on the ballot Just strictly on principle which is absolutely ludicrous Yeah I can go on about what you said about big time announcers earning her well I can go on And I don't understand that Well they run the press boxes and they run and they run the Hall of Fame They do a very nice job with it But this is going to open up a lot of scrutiny Now there could be an avenue for bonds Clemens to get into the Hall of Fame There's a new era committee that's going to meet in December And it's comprised of members of the Hall of Fame former players and some writers and if you get 12 out of 16 votes in this December coming up it's December 22nd 11 months from now they could possibly get into the Hall of Fame So it's not a done deal for these two but they are no longer on they are no longer on the ballot Remember I said if the TV ratings this past weekend weren't sky high I was going to turn in my Rory Rogers membership card While I'm keeping it because this according to Nielsen the epic football playoff game especially between buffalo and Kansas City reach nearly 43 million TV viewers on Sunday That's the most for any event since last year's Super Bowl and the NFL just struck gold with just a great weekend all four of those divisional games It averaged 38.2 TV and digital viewers up 20% over last year and the best ever for the league's divisional round of playoffs according to the Nielsen company car I think that Kansas City buffalo game is the one that really takes the cake because in Kansas City that game got 90% share So that means 9 out of every ten TVs in the Kansas City market that were on during that time We're watching that game And you know they watched every minute of it because that game was a nail biter Oh yeah That bill's chiefs game In fact when it got down into overtime there was 51.7 million people watching that It was absolutely spectacular And this is going to have a fall over effect of this weekend with the championship games on Sunday at 3 o'clock for the AFC and 6 40 for the NFC game People are going to say wow that weekend was good How can they possibly top it this weekend So people are going to be tuning in and of course as we get down to the Super Bowl that's when the audience.
