Yeah, and I've actually used this before with the Greenlight app, kids can learn how to save, invest, and spend wisely, like you said. They also learn how to associate money with effort through the chores feature, which is where you as a parent set up one time are recurring chores, customize your families. He's like, "Jack's is taking out the trash," and stuff like that now. You get to say, "Hey, you're gonna get 10 bucks a week," or whatever, but you gotta do it. And then you go into your side of the app, you say he did it, then he gets the money and his debit card, right? Correct. And most kids these days are web savvy and tech savvy, and they're using it for Amazon and games and clothes and things like that. Roblox, all that crap. All of it, so it's great.

(upbeat music) - Welcome to Drinking Bros, presented by ghostbed.com. (upbeat music) Sit back, relax it, grab a fucking drink. - Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros. Kids, our guest today, recently survived an assassination attempt. Brent Pella, how are you? - I'm getting better day by day here, Russ. You know, it was a dark day in my life. I survived a Los Angeles style assassination attempt, which is when a homeless guy sneaks into your apartment and dips his balls in your ear while you're sleeping. - Oh, yeah. - And coincidentally, it was on the same part of my body as Trump's potential assassination attempt. - Sure, and what are the doctors telling you? - They're telling me I might have a sexual transition coming up that might be the way to kind of reestablish a normal pattern of life. So, I'm just gonna follow that. You know, I'll follow any, what any doctor says, ever, always. But I am gonna keep this on my right ear in support of former President Trump and what he's going through, because it's honestly very similar. - It really is, it really is, and it's-- - Well, yeah, Biden got COVID. - Yeah. - And then if he bounces back, that's like surviving an assassination attempt too. - Yes. - And from God. - Right. - Yes. - Like some 20 year old neck beard, Turret tried to kill Trump. God tried to kill Joe Biden. - The Lord is a sensing to murder Joe Biden. - Yeah. - Yeah. - To the germ. - Us at drinking bros, by the way, we wanna commend you for how brave you are today. - Yeah, I really appreciate that. - I appreciate that. - A lot of guests would have canceled in your condition. - Yeah, I considered it, but, you know, I wanna stand up for what's right. You know, I don't want this to affect me or my brand. - Mm-hmm. - And I really wanna show people, you know, I want people to know that they can fight. You know how Trump stood up after his assassination attempt, and he yelled, "Fight, fight, fight!" And I stood up when the homeless guy had finished dipping his nuts in my ear, and I yelled, "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" And I think he took it the wrong way, 'cause then him and my girlfriend got into it. But that's beside the point. What matters now is that we're here, we're here in unity, you know? And I just encourage anybody out there with a paper towel or other white cloth item. - Sure. - Tape it to your ear. - Paper plate if you have it, absolutely. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Paper plane? - Plane white hat. - Yeah. - You know? - Wait, that's a song, though. - Plane white tees, the band. - The band? - Yeah, I don't recommend playing them. - Paper plane is a song as well. - Sure is, by M.I.A. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, she's fantastic. - So, yeah. - Big plan. - Same. Her later stuff wasn't great, or anything after the paper plane's song itself. - But as a person, seems super chill. - Top notch. Was she the one in a three-way with Elon Musk, or was that the other one, is the Elliot Banks? I was in zero. - Couldn't have been all three. - It was not M.I.A. I know that at one point Amber heard, and what's her name? Cara Devlin doubled up on him. - Really? - Yeah. - God damn, what was that bad like afterwards, you know? - I mean, just soaked in shit. - How does Elon Musk have sex? What do you think that's like? (sighs) - I think he's got all the things, man. - You know what? - Yeah. - I think he's got the injections. - You think he's attacking? - I think it's a beautiful cock. - I know that when you see him out on the beach or the yacht, he looks like one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles took their shell off. - Yeah. - That's what it looks like to be out. - Do you think he has to use Neuralink on his dick for him to be better at it? - I don't know if he has to, but why wouldn't you? - I might. - If you have the technology and the capability, yeah, use all the things and give yourself the perfect cock. - Yeah. - Scientists have discovered how his body looks, actually. - Oh, you got it? - You got an image of it? Let's see it. - Ah, cords are out here today, kids. - What happened, guys? - Chords are out here today. He killed the bit here. Oh, look at that. - Oh, nice. - It's a little cyber truck. - It's not cyber torso. - Yeah. - That's beautiful. - I'd love to have one. I'm still in the camp where I want one of those goddamn things. I am. - They look cool. - I know, dude. - I'll see a couple of them out here. - I'll see a couple of them out here. - There's one in my neighborhood. - Yeah. - And I'm not, like, I still like it. - I think I'm the only one, I feel like. - Does the back open up to make an actual pickup truck? - Yes. - Okay, cool. - But it doesn't have a lot of trunk space. - Well. - You could fit, you know, maybe one, two by four in there. Besides the point, you look cool. - You look so cool. - And inside of it, you know, it's dope, it's shaded. - Yeah. - It's fast. - I wanted for the sloped roof. - For an assassination-- - Oh, the cyber truck roof. - Yeah, to keep the feds out, you know. - Right, right, right. - It's fed away, is what they call it. - Yeah, if your truck bed is five to 10 degrees slanted. - Yeah, so those Mexicans with the low riders in the back, they're fucking, that's how they've been getting away with all this stuff. - Yeah, nobody can take your shot at those guys. - Yeah. - Well, it's too dangerous. - Speaking of the Silicon Valley world here, it feels like everybody's getting red-pilled. Bob, how about this clip from Zuckerberg? Is he full in now? Like, the clip of him just type in "zuck" bomb. And the clip of him that's going around today is like, oh, is every tech bro now just on Trump's side? Let's play this clip. - I've done some stuff personally in the past. I'm not planning on doing that this time. And that includes, you know, not endorsing either of the candidates. Now, look, I mean, there's obviously a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world. I mean, the historic events over the last, like over the weekend. And I mean, personal note, it's seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. But look, I mean, it's, you know, as, and I think look, at some levels in American, it's like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight. And I think that that's why a lot of people like the guy. - This is what happens when people start hanging out with Gordon Ryan and people like that. - Dude, Mark Zuckerberg has been hanging out with Chet Hanks. - Yeah, so much this summer, like for real. It does start to rub off on you because people that are either born into actual privilege or born into American privilege generally who don't, don't have like it's a, it's a problem. I think John Adams used to say I study politics in war, so my children can study like history and language and math and shit like that. So some of that effect can remember the exact phrase, but it is true that the second and then third generation is usually the problem where they lose perspective and people that don't understand the past start controlling the future to some degree and we make the same, this is the cycle we're on. It's a 200 year cycle, give or take, that we just start making the same mistakes again. We're in a new world now though, because a guy like Zuckerberg who was a captain of industry never would have met a guy like Gordon Ryan in any other timeline in any other period in American history or human history, right? That never would have happened, ever. So he would never would have gotten down to a level of people like actual working class, people who were fighting, literally fighting for a living and people who understand like history and culture and libertarianism, for example, and been exposed to that. That would have been like a pleb belief or something that he never even would have been exposed to 200 years ago. And now all of a sudden you see these cap, literal captains of industry, the richest people in the world, starting to get exposed to this stuff. And that plus how badly the left plan has worked for America is like, all right, light bulb goes off, right? I mean, that's a pretty big deal. - Dude, either the light bulb went off or the reptilian inside of him went back to his home planet. - Yeah. - 'Cause that's like a completely different dude. That's a kid who just started listening to-- - Jordan Beers and W.A. (laughing) - You know what I mean? - That's a dude that finally got like good head for the first time. - Yeah. - That's a guy who realized that weed isn't that harmful and he started smoking. - That's a guy who got a finger in his ass up to the second knuckle for the first time. - 100%. - And it was just like, oh my God. - Oh, you can do this? - And I'm not gay? - Yeah. - Wait, oh holy shit, this is okay? - Yeah. - I mean, look, he's growing his hair out. Did you see what he did over the 4th of July bomb? - With the suit and the wakeboard? - Yeah. - And it's like his whole persona has completely changed. - Yeah. - Well, it used to be Churchill used to say that a young conservative has no heart and an old liberal has no brain. That used to, I'm paraphrasing, but we're in reverse world now because people get indoctrinated so much in school and then university and then as young people, they get indoctrinated so much. And then finally they start paying taxes or try to start a business or this 360 degree woke firing squad fires at them and they're like, wait a minute, this is all bullshit. So we've kind of reversed that cycle now where people, like again, people that may not have ever been exposed to this or had that opportunity to wake up are now waking up in mass. And I'm pretty confident that this is gonna be one of the biggest landslides in American electoral history. I don't know about Reagan 84 against Mondale, but this is gonna be a big one. - Play this video, Bob, for the audience. If you haven't seen this, because even me, like I've never liked this guy in my entire life. And it's cool. Like he's become hilarious and kind of cool a little bit. We were like, all right, well shit. If I was worth a gajillion dollars like this, I do fucked up shit like this on the weekend. - 100%! - If I could, I don't have time to go wakeboarding. Like I don't have, you know? That takes a lot of money to be able to just-- - It takes a lot of logistics. - And no children. Like I, you know, no kids, no wives. - Or he doesn't have kids, does he? - I don't think he does. - Does he have kids? - He does, no. - He's married. - He's married, but I don't believe he has children. - Yeah. - So yeah, you can do this shit. - Yes, he has three daughters. - Three daughters? - Yeah. - Three little Chinese daughters. - Are they, are they niezers? - Yeah. - Do we know that? - His wife's a Chinaman. - Chinese. - Yeah, but I've never seen him, so. - They don't really share pictures of him, I think. - Smart. Smart. He's one of them on Facebook or Instagram. - And he's going cool. (laughing) - Here's what social media damaged their brains. (laughing) - Maybe that's part of the switch. (laughing) He realizes what his kids are getting into. - Yep. - The hell that he's built for them. - His kids are like, "Dad, look at TikTok." And he's like, "Oh, fuck." - God damn it, but I am in the middle of some shit. Shit, they're on reels as they're scrolling through, oh, oh, oh, oh, mindlessly all day. And he's like, "Oh, fuck, man, what have I done?" - Yeah, dude, I wonder if his kids went like, kind of far left, and that's what's bringing him back to reality now. - I don't know, I mean, you look at this, when you create something so massive or so huge, and having a friend of mine, we were talking about on the podcast, who created For Loco, when all those kids went to the hospital and all that shit, and it was like a huge, oh my God, what did I create, what have we done? You know, that type of moment, I wonder if you don't, the rest of these guys don't have that one type of moment in their life where they're like, "Holy shit." - Yeah. - What the fuck have I actually done? - It's the Oppenheimer moment. I am a come-deaf destroyer's world, right? - Yeah, but like in For Loco's case, he was just standing over the body of somebody who had just blacked out and puked everywhere. It's like, "I am become deaf." (laughing) - Do you know what's how we pay for that video? - Yeah. - I'm just walking into the frat house and looking around at the destruction he created. - Yeah. Fuck. (laughing) - But that's what I loved about Oppenheimer. I'm glad you brought that up. In that movie, I always wondered what his perspective was on it and just seeing him in the movie, Kelly and Murphy talking about it where you're just like, "Oh shit, dude, that realization's gotta be nuts." And then how do you reconcile that in your mind for the rest of your life? - Well, that's why Einstein wouldn't work on the project like they wanted him to. - Yeah, 'cause he knew that that's where whoever was heading that shit would be heading. - Yeah. - Just came to a mentality like that. - Oppenheimer, despite some of the fuckin' Soviet influence around him and at the school, right, was deeply patriotic. He wanted a mirror but a win, all right. So I get it. Einstein was German, right? Not that he had allegiance to Germany or anything like that, but I don't know that the deep sense of American patriotism occurred to him in the same way because this was again going to be used against Japan, not Germany, right? - No, Einstein only had allegiance to the people of Earth like a pussy. - Yeah, yeah. - He was a legion to humankind, like a bitch. - Exactly. - Well, he was a Spinoza guy. He had to be, right? - Yeah. - That's where he drew most of his moral philosophy from his Spinoza, so. - What's worse for the world, though? - Serious question. Oppenheimer, Zuckerberg. - Zuckerberg. - Zuckerberg up until he became cool. - Japan. - Yeah, well, we'll see you in the next five years. We'll see, right? - We'll see. Yeah, we'll see how cool he is. - But Japan is one of the highest functioning countries on Earth. I believe they're the third highest GDP of any country on Earth, right? - They're up there for sure. I'll check real quick. - I think Oppenheimer too, because there's a take I like that a lot of people don't realize. I think the atomic bomb has saved lives. - Yeah. - Not in World War II. - No, not in World War II, but what it did was make war between two major countries unthinkable. - Right. - Yes, right. - Whereas before it happened every 15 to 20 years. - Right. - Like regularly. - Yeah, there'd be somewhere between half a million and a million dead each time. - What I'm asking is social media, and then however long this goes with Facebook and everything else, is that more deadly and cancerous than creating a fucking bomb? - I don't think so. Only until it can't. - Oh, until a bomb goes off. - It goes in cycles, right? So this is what fascism is. Fascism is a public, private partnership. It's the federal government literally paying social media companies to censor political speech. That's what fascism is, right? But fascism and the digital space can be undone. It can be undone. By having just one guy, Elon, who's not gonna play that game. All it takes is one person not to comply. That's why all of these ideologies, like socialism, communism, so on and so forth, they require 100% buy-in. Everybody has to participate or it doesn't work, and that's why it requires a authoritarianism to make it work. One guy that has $40 billion lying around, it's like, you know what? Fuck you. I'm gonna let people post whatever the fuck they want. It kills the whole machine. So I think social media, if everybody continued to participate in it, it would've been the death throes of American society and Western society, but I think it's unraveling right now. Even with TikTok, it's unraveling, to some degree. And I think if Zuck keeps going down the path, he's on right now, Facebook's gonna make some pretty major changes as well. - For sure, maybe. - And then it's over. Then it's only Google left out there censoring people. - Yeah, but I'm not even talking about it from, I mean, that's one element, obviously, but think about how many kids have been bullied on social media and killed themselves or whatever. Over time, where it's just ruined people's lives. These fucking memes that go around in 10 seconds to just ruin people's lives forever. Even this chick today, who, dude, I've gotten this and Bob, you can pull it up on Twitter. Please tell the audience that this isn't real so we can stop getting this. - It's not real, don't send it to me again. - Okay. - Thank you. Pull the picture up with that FBI director, it's on the cover of Twitter here. - Don't tag me in it, don't send it to me. - We've gotten it 9,000 times today, and they're like, "Isn't this a spit?" They're like, "I can't believe that's the girl "with the phone and the thing." It's not the same person. - This chick? - Yes. - This thing? - Yep. It's not the same person, you can pop it up on screen and stop saying it to us. It looks like her, and it's a mildly attractive version of what it was. - That's a white chick with brown hair. - It sort of looks like her, but when you see it close up, it doesn't. The lips are hurting, but you know, what abs. - But that's social media, so whoever this girl is, right here, the next six months of her life are ruined. - Right, her job, her everything is right. - She's gonna be the next, that motherfucker isn't real. The plane chick. - Yeah, and that's it. She's crazy plane lady forever. - Totally, that's an interesting comparison, bro, because the shit that people go through from negative experiences on social media can last an entire lifetime, a whole lifetime, and it can trickle into the next generation that they produce, if they become abusive or they don't raise their kids right, because of some shit that they've gone through or their mentality has been so shifted and negatively affected by experiences on social media. It's also really hard to track that shit. You can track the amount of people who lose their lives from a bomb, right? So I'd say social media is probably worse. - That's where I leave. - That's where I leave. - I think so, especially as long as no nukes go off anytime soon, 'cause then we're all fucked, and then we have our answer like, and it's tangible, and it's real, 'cause then the world's over. But at this point, yeah, dude, I think social media. - And for you, 'cause you're so massive on social media and your sketches and all that other shit, have you ever read comments about yourself or is it comedian or something where you're like, God damn it, it's affected me more than I really cared about. - Yeah, dude, these motherfuckers used to comment on my hairline all the time, somebody said I looked like Mr. Clean's before picture, and I was like, "Dude, do you want me to walk into a school?" Loaded, what's the goal here? And so, yeah, that shit has fucked me up in the past. 100%, it still does, 'cause I'm addicted to reading the comments, it gives me a rush. But then now I'm doing this thing, where I just say a really positive message back to anybody who's hating. And then nine times out of 10, they responded to that, and they're like, "Bro, I'm so sorry, dude, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said that. "I really love your stuff, I'm a fan, da-da-da-da." And it's absurd, social media gives people this weird fake power. - Yeah. - But then that weird fake power, and then people don't understand that it's a fake power, and they take what people are throwing at them very real and very seriously, and they allow themselves to be negatively affected. I feel like I'm past that chapter of it, 'cause it was definitely like that for a while, but some people get so fucked up after reading comments and replies and tweets. - I don't read 'em. - Yeah, I don't read 'em, or understand that everything coming at you is fake. It's fucking fake. - Yeah. - No one would say any of that shit in real life. - I think it would fuck with me too much, and I wouldn't be able to do the job every day. - I'll say it. - I'll say it. - I'll say it in real life. - Yeah. (laughing) - But you mean it. - Yeah, yeah. - You mean it, but most people don't mean the negative shit that they say, yeah. - No, I read the comments. Not on YouTube, and not because it's YouTube, is because there's too many, there's thousands and thousands. I don't have time for that shit. But on social media, like on Instagram and Twitter and shit, I'll read every one of them. - Yeah, he does. - 'Cause I think, like I'm looking for that gem that's really funny, even if it's a burn on me. - Right, right. - You know what I mean? That's the only reason I bother reading them, so I can't stop, I'm reading it for entertainment purposes, right? - I mean, the most clean line was funny. - Yeah, and I can't stop seeking the entertainment just because it's at my expense. 'Cause then I'm gonna miss too much good stuff. You know what I mean? It's just funny to me. - Yeah, but some people-- - And also, I don't value anyone's opinion, except for my own. (laughing) - Right, that's a good tenant then. - 'Cause Jared, you know, who's not here, I don't, who knows where Jared is, obviously, but that's the whole-- - He's doing something. - Yeah, he's doing something, but with Jared, he was dating somebody, I don't wanna say who it is, who was so obsessed with social media that, and this is dark. You know the story element? - Yeah. - And I didn't even know this was possible. So you can see like the little heads at the bottom on the stories of who's looking through your shit. - Yeah. - She would go through and look at every person who looked at her story and then get angry if it was other people that, you know, she knew who were friends with her, weren't viewing her stories, and then she would hit them up and be like, "Hey, dude, do you not get my stories, "and my shadow band, because I don't see you in the thing." And I was like, "Holy shit." - That's a lot. - And he goes, "We would just be in bed, "and she would just be scrolling through "the people who are looking at her fucking stories "on Instagram." And I was like, "Oh my God, dude." - Yeah. - They need a boundary, you need a boundary. People need boundaries, dude. - Speaking of that, one of the things that keeps people online, not the only things, I think social pressure is really important, right? Like what people will and won't accept, call it the over 10 window or whatever. You can do this a lot of ways to define it. There is some thinking right now that a lot of these billionaires, tech people, so on and so forth, Microsoft, CNN, both laid off their entire DEI staff in the last two weeks. - Oh, they did. - Yeah, like literally hundreds of people. - Oh, really? - Oh, shit. - A lot of other companies have come around, Donna John Deere, Trash Supply, probably saw those Budweiser has made a lot of changes. But the individuals, like the individuals who have gone from progressive to conservative over the past like six months, really. One of the theories out there is that they're worried that when Trump gets an office, he's gonna butt fuck all of them. Kind of like Mr. Garris and then South Park, fuck them all to death, that whole thing. I believe that. And I don't know if they realize it in their own mind or if it's just a survival instinct that's saying, oh shit, this game that I've been playing is over and I better start playing a new game before the new game starts and establish myself. You know, actually I've been saying this for a while. Well, three months is a while, I guess, right? And I really think there's something to do that. I think people are fucking afraid. I think they're both excited and afraid about what Trump brings, especially if you're a businessman, right? Because you're gonna make way more money with Trump and there's gonna be way less of your intellectual property stolen by Russia and China under Trump. The border is not gonna be fucking over your labor union under Trump, it's all this stuff. I think they're terrified and excited at the same time and a lot of these people don't know how to handle it. - No, and like if you look at the last week, we have things that are unexplainable, obviously with the assassination and everything else. And then today's thing with this fucking tech outage that's all over the world, there is no planes, everything has been grounded across the United States, across the world. And I mean, there's crazy images of like-- - Thousands of flights, cancel. - The world, the skies are empty. - Yeah. - There's no planes in the sky. So everybody's taking these wild pictures. A bunch of people have D.M.E. to ask you this. Is there anything to this and what's going on? Or is this just-- - They say it's a software patch. - Yeah. - Do you believe that or no? - Sure. - Yeah, I mean, like here, so let me go back for a second. - It is the biggest IT outage, by the way, in history of the world. - I want to go back to the Trump thing. - Is that true? - Yes. - Yeah, it is, yeah. I want to go back to the Trump thing just for a second. So a lot of weird stuff, blah, blah, blah. One of the things we found out recently from a congressman who leaked it after some Secret Service testimony is that the vast majority of the people who are on the ground for Trump, his detail, were not Secret Service, right? We knew that they had been augmented. What we know now is that I don't know how many total, but most of the people that were there weren't Secret Service, they were HSI, Homeland Security Investigation, which is basically the FBI before immigration, right? So they are good investigators, for sure, but that's not their job, they don't do close protection detail. Now, under normal circumstances, particularly in a big thing like J-20 or NATO or something like that, you would use these people to augment your security service, but the people right around the principal are always Secret Service. This was not the case here, right? So that is, in addition to the stuff with the police, the back and forth communication where a Secret Service clearly did not do their job putting somebody in that location and making sure that it was staffed, this is a level of incompetence that implies malfeasance. It really is. Was the chick? My thinking is, if I had to, I haven't confirmed this yet, but my guess is that fat girl. But what did I think? It did not how to handle her weapon. She's probably HSI and not even Secret Service. That would be my guess. Are you sure they didn't just pull her out of Chick-fil-A? Yeah. That's what she looked like. She looked like she served a couple of years in Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A people are competent, right? I guess they would be able to holster at Chick-fil-A. So there doesn't need to, the point of that is that there doesn't need to be some, like, a cabal or conspiracy. All you have to do is, like, kind of fucking step out of the way and let things happen sometimes. It isn't, like, ordering a hit on somebody. It's more, like, standing at the intersection while your buddy's like, "Hey, is it clear to go?" And you look to the right, you're like, "Yeah, it's clear." And there's a fucking semi-truck coming that way. That's what it's really like. Now, onto the tech outage stuff. This is a problem for the modern world in general. One of the thesis papers I wrote in my master's degree was about the American energy grid, right? There's, like, nine hubs that really matter. They could knock out all the power to the entire country. We are lucky that I think I'd have to look back at my, I did primary research on this. I'd have to look back at my research. I think three or maybe four of them, you would have to do a direct physical attack to take them down, right? And by the way, to take them all out, you'd have to do it all at the same time. How many other? Nine. Nine major hubs that you would need to take out. And maybe it's changed. I wrote this in 2016, so maybe it's changed by now, but three or four of them, you would have to do a direct attack. The other ones, you could do digital attacks, but they all operate on different systems. So you would have to be running digital attacks on five different systems, plus take out four locations at the same time. That's a very good thing. With the airlines, with tech, with our fucking infrastructure that we use for commercial stuff, that is not the case. It's all been made the same. It's all been standardized now. So that means when a patch goes up at fucking this, this company, right, that's fucked up, that hits the, at the backbone of the internet, then it fucks up everybody all at the same time. That is not a very resilient system. And the glow, like I, usually I would not encourage the global community to do anything, right? Yeah. Because I don't like that global is bullshit, but the world needs to figure this out, because look at what had, this is, this is the best case scenario right now. Right. But we don't even know what the fallout is, because surgeries are being canceled, hospitals are losing power, they're operating a backup power, and they're talking about two or three weeks before it gets, that comes back online too. And like, look, we're, we're, you, the three of us right here, we're pretty fortunate human beings for the most part, especially compared to the rest of the world. Except for my ear. Yeah. But even in America, we're pretty fortunate, but there are a lot of people who aren't, and they're getting butt fucked by this right now in a way, we don't even know yet. Dude, I thought it was just airports. No, no, no. So DMV, I had an appointment this morning. Well, I had an appointment at the DMV a couple of days ago. Is it that? Is that part of the show? Cancel. So they said, Hey, sorry. Shut down when I was there. And so they were like, Hey, sorry, we're out. I'm looking at it and I says the heart of the massive disruption is CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that provides software to thousands of companies worldwide. And yeah, hospitals, DMVs, banks, airlines, everything's been knocked out. And so how do you think something like this could lead to a government or government body stepping in to kind of commandeer the industry and is that what you're talking about with the potential globalization of like IT and tech? No, no, here's what I'm talking about. We all think of the internet as a big fucking lake that we get all of our fish and water from, right? Like the whole world gets its stuff in there. Every business that runs runs on the internet unless you're selling fucking flapjacks and cow cut over some shit off the side of the road, hospitals, everything, right, everything that keeps us alive in the modern world refrigeration, all this stuff, right? In some way has to do with the electric grid and the internet staying on. And let's just say there's somebody who wants to knock it out. One of these fucking wants to watch the world burn assholes, right? Right now it's CrowdStrike who says that they had a Microsoft 365 app patch security patch that was deployed and then it was fucked up and that's what caused all this, right? But if somebody actually did it in a way that was nefarious, right, like this is just incompetence. If somebody actually wanted to take this thing down, it could put it out for a while and it's the energy grid runs on the internet to some degree as well now too, right? Prisons, like the fucking doors on the jails to some degree are computerized inside of that place. Like there's all kinds of stuff that could go down because of this. So the global community needs to figure out a way to make it more resilient against outside attack. Got it. That's what really needs to happen. Yeah. And I don't know. I mean, either that or we as human beings need to stop relying on it so much, but I don't know how that's going to work, especially in finance because I think about, you'd have to look this up. But I think something like 4% of the U.S. currency that exists is in circulation right now. 4%. Like a physical currency. Yeah. Like dollar bills. Dollar bills holding your hand. Everything else is digital. UK, the fucking UK just had a problem with this. They almost had a run on the banks. They were sending people home because they were trying to get too much money out, right? Like Jimmy Stewart style fucking your money's in Bob do it. Your money's not here. Your money. It's in Tim's house. Come on now, you know. Beautiful set up. Beautiful set up for that. So that's where we are right now. I mean, we are highly efficient and not at all resilient. That's where we are. And it's that second part and it has to get fixed or we're fucked. Brent, you've been on the show before.

Was it Bob? Was that you yesterday? I was talking about cash, just keeping cash and it's safe. Yeah. Literally said the exact same thing and I was like, man, I had to go get a large amount of cash one time and I'm going to use half of it and I was like, eh, do I deposit this or just keep this in like a fire safe? I kept it in a fire safe over the last year. It's surprising how many times it's coming handy where you're like, oh shit, something's down, something's out, it's a federal holiday, whatever it is, or you're just trying to get cheaper labor and, you know, people are popping in there like, man, do you have cash? I know that's a weird question. Everybody says that. Yeah. I know it's a weird question. It's like, it's not a weird question. Yeah. We all used to have cash. We turned some of it into gold. Really? Yeah. What's gold going to do? Gold never goes down. But do you put the bars in your safe, like, bobbin in this? Yep. Really? Yeah. Or you turn them into coins so that when the shit really hits and gets fucked up, you can have shit the border with it. If you're smart, it's never going to go down. Get coins with your own fucking face on them. Yeah. Because you can do that. Like Caesar. Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Yeah. But so. How do I do that? Okay, great. That tall guy that comes in here that has these coins made for us, that guy that makes these coins and Denver can do it. Oh, perfect. Anybody can do it. As long as they have a coin press. Okay. You just put two fucking, what do you call it, face plates and yeah. He said coin press, not pill press Gary. Exactly. Well, Gary's high. Yeah, bear. Let's stay away from the pill press. Dude, can I just say a quick thing about Gary? Sure. I introduced Gary to Jared and then I believe Jared brought him here. Yeah. Well, is that right? I don't remember how we met Gary. Is that true? Gary? Oh, boy. I think that I do take credit for injecting Gary into this world, but I do not take responsibility for the damage that he has or will take one of the other, I guess. Gary comes. Look at this with the fucking captain's hat on there. Adderall hasn't even kicked in yet for the day. What? The Adderall. That was not Adderall. Again. I'm telling you it was meth. This is what happened. Brent brought me on to a black rifle commercial like three years ago and I met Matt and Caleb and all them. And the one person I didn't meet was JT. Right, right, right. And then I ended up doing a hosting that show that you went to, Ross. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And Laser brought me on stage to host and then I met JT and he was like, wow, did you're like actually insane? And I was like, yeah, it's full dude. And then they realize that I'm actually a genius and then you guys just hired me. That's what happened. Yeah. You and I have been going back and forth for a lot longer than that. Yeah, actually Dan's the first one I met. And I was. I think it was through Eli actually. Dude, really? The way I met you guys was through fucking Giggle Boys. Mike Eli. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. But that was like years ago. But even before that, I knew who Dan was because of Maj Toure, Black Guns Matter. Black Guns Matter? Yeah. Was it a sketch? No, no. Is it a brand? It's a black dude that's a libertarian that trains black communities on how to purchase and use firearms. Oh, okay, cool. Nice. You know how I've heard of it? You know how conservatives are all like afraid of black people with guns? Yeah. No. Turns out like one of the largest gun organizations in the country actually fucking recruits them and gets them guns and then teaches them how to use them. Cool. That's why in California, one of the largest, well, not in the California in the United States, the largest growing contingent of new gun owner or black women. Really? Yeah, that's true. In California? Everywhere particularly in California. Yeah. Right on. Hey Dan, speaking of black women, you gave me an interesting statistic about black women voting. Yeah. So from 2020 to 2024, this is the latest poll that came out this past weekend before the Trump thing, right? Yeah. Before the assassination attempt, Biden's popularity with black women has dropped 31 points since 2020. That's not terribly surprising. It is shocking, shocking because women don't like fucking Trump for the most part. Like suburban women don't like Trump and black people definitely didn't like. I mean, like not even Trump's Republicans, right? Yeah. Women, women vote Democrat usually 60 to 65% of the time, black women even like way higher like 95% of the time. This is black women are the contingent that most votes Democrat of any contingent that exists. And at 31 point drop is unheard of. The inflation though, I think is everybody's just fed up groceries, food, whatever it is. Or, you know, the casual realization that somebody has dementia. Yeah, maybe that has a role, I think, and a lot of people changing their minds. Oh, you do button? I do. Yeah. Do I? Do I do? Come on, man. Oh, we beat. We beat Medicare. We beat it. We beat it again. Who am I? Oh, you're going to be sad when he's going on Sunday. You think he's going? Look, I have one hope in green this morning and said they're not dropping out his campaign leader who's some fucking lesbian. I don't know what she looks like. Of course. And then immediately after that, a liberal newspaper prints like Biden family discussing how to drop out or something like that. I have one dream for this. And that is that Gavin Newsome get the nominee. And it's a selfish dream because it would help my career. You know what I mean? I do it Gavin. Yeah. I know all I want to do is Gavin for a couple, at least a couple more months. I don't know that it's going to help your career. Let me, let me know for real because he would lose, right? Right. And then he goes into obscurity. I think at least for a few months. Yeah. Well, for a few months though, but if he, but if he waits, if he stays governor and waits to run until 28, he's going to be in the bully pulpit as governor for six years. Right. Right. Right. Right. I mean, he's driven that goddamn state in the ground. Yeah. I mean, I got fucked in the year three nights ago. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been, it's been crazy. But I don't know if he's going to drop, dude. I think it's more likely for him to drop dead from like a gust of wind than it is for him to drop out of the race. There's so much shit that goes into switching a candidate. The money part is what's really fun. The money part. Well, it would be easy if Kamala was actually a good candidate and the Democratic party supported her. It was the word on the street. And who knows if this is true or not, but the word on the street is he's Biden doesn't plan on endorsing Kamala Harris. And my guess is that's just Obama talking, right, which is what the entire Biden presidency has been anyways, but that's the word on the street. I don't know if that's true or not. I could see him backing out from, you know, being too old or like forgetting where he is or whatever and just letting the DNC happen naturally and like supporting a natural selection process. Then big retch is going to win then. Yeah. Yeah. But I also think if that happens, a shit ton of current people who are currently planning to vote blue would actually vote for RFK. Probably. And that's my guy. I love Bobby. Yeah. I'm a big Bobby. Yeah. I use Bobby. Yeah. Love him so much. Do you do Bobby? I don't. Tyler's the only guy on the bus. Come on. The vocal fry is really hard to do. Tyler's got it down. He's the best. We have some breaking news from the New York Post. I think you guys should know about. Sure. Is it Mel and Peter? They found what Thomas Matthew Crook's last online search was. What was it boy? Was it gay porn? It was for pornography. Yes. Yes. Uh huh. What type? I'm looking into that right now. But yes. He was jerking off. That was his last search. You got to crank one last one. Is that true? Yes. Tyler, I don't leave that. That'd be my last search. I'll use it. He's a killer. Not clarity. Told him to try to kill the president of the United States. He popped one off and he was like, "Man, this is my purpose." Yeah. Because going into it, he was like, "Man, should I do this? Or should I not?" And then whatever his porn search was, he jacks off and then he goes, "Shh, I, yes." What type of porn do you think would drive somebody to go attempt to murder a president, a former president? Is that type of porn? Is that what we're going to, is it Riley Reid? Like, are we putting it on one person? Do you think it is? That's a heavy burden for the rest of the life. Or is it Stormy Daniels and there's some type of like meta, this bitch didn't take care of business? Oh, could you imagine dude? God damn. Yeah. Like, what if he was mad that like Trump got to fuck her because that's always been his favorite porn store and he had just been waiting and training and then he got, you know, cut from the rifle team. So he went fucking jerked off more. It would have been like Giorgio with Lisa Anne, I think, where, you know, whoever that was that stepped in, and you know, Giorgio ends up marking that guy, like, yeah, because we've all got our favorite. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's got that one go to over time where it was just like, "Hey, dude, you got three minutes left on this earth. Yep." One video. Who is it? Go. College wild parties. I want to see, I want to see some sophomore girls get banged in the backyard, dude. No. It's a fun time. Bring you back. It's Bob. You and Bob share a special kinship, then, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah. That would bring me to clarity real fast. Well, I turned like the latest, I think the Washington Post put out some information about this kid as well. One thing was that he had some, a congressman actually leaked this, which I don't think he probably should have based on what I'm hearing from back channels. I think people are pissed that he leaked it. But he said that the kid had three foreign and cryptid accounts or some... Really? Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know what... Bank accounts? I don't know what they mean by that. No, social accounts. I don't even know what they mean by that, right? What's with the FBI not being able to get into his phone? Well, they finally did. Did they get him? Yeah, they finally did. Okay. All right. The whole thing is... The whole thing is weird. Strange. Yeah. He had two phones, which is not terribly abnormal. One of them was secured and the other one wasn't. There were 27 contacts on the one. That's weird. That's weird to me. So do I. That's 20 years old? At 20? Yeah. I don't... Like, some people have two phones for work. I don't know that he was... Like, he was working at a fucking... He was at a retirement center doing diet foods like food. Also, yeah. The phone they found on him was a Samsung. Yeah, he's a shooter. Oh, hot dude. Yeah, green texter. Yeah. They also found a detonator. They also found a detonator. Made of his garage doors. Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. That's where he would have gotten the materials from. I don't even know if those are hard to get. Like, bomb making materials. No. No, I mean, no. Definitely not. No, they're not. Oh, okay. Does encrypted overseas account? Could that just be VPNs? I don't... That I don't know. I sincerely don't know what they mean by that. But it's an odd thing to have because I've been 20. Yeah. Yeah. And I am an adult human now with basic human intelligence and I have no need for an encrypted overseas account of any kind. Dude, two phones. The two phones is really weird. It is. That's really fucking weird. I don't even have it now. 20 years old, no college degree, you know, not hot. He was hyper-intelligent, though. Was he? That's what I'm hearing it. But he worked... And what... Do you have you heard in, like, what... Well, he was in all, like, AP classes and I... He... He got some grant or scholarship, I think he was a grant, like a federal thing for math and science. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And he is working at a retirement home. But I am... I'm very old people's food. Like, this is the typical profile of a serial killer, actually. It's a hyper-intelligent person working a menial job. Like, that's very prototypical. And then there's another profile that I think will... You'll see become true as more evidence comes out. It's called the Loser to Lion profile, right? And it is somebody who is tormented by external pressures to some degree in their own life, whether it's just failure, right? Basically, bad face, low T, very smart, extremely smart. They have been bullied or something like that, or maybe they're outcast to some degree, or maybe they never got to where they thought they should be or something like that. So they go from Loser to Lion, "I'm going to do something that matters," right? Right. And you map that on to the black-pilled, sigma male people, right? Like, I don't trust women anymore because of this, this, this. I don't... I think both political parties are fucked up or the government's fucked up or whatever. And you map that pathology on to that ideology and you get the guy, because what we know now as well is that his phone searches, or I'm sorry, his laptop searches were for both DNC and R&C events. It wasn't one or the other. He was looking at both, right? And I think this guy was just looking for an opportunity... Oh, he was probably looking for an opportunity. He was looking for an opportunity to clip somebody and make a name for someone. Just like the Vegas shooter was originally going to shoot up a hip-hop concert. And then he ended up shooting up a country music concert. I believe the guy who shot Regan, actually. And now this makes sense, obviously, for our show. He pushed out on pop and Jimmy Carter because nothing can kill Jimmy Carter and waited a couple years and popped Regan. Man. Yeah. Strange. Does some weird shit. But yeah, that's the profile. I bet that's why when all said and done, we have all the information, that's going to be who this kid was. Now, but that doesn't answer the question of how an unsophisticated person, like intelligence is not sophistication, particularly when it comes to tradecraft and stuff like that. So how did that kid fill his van with IEDs, park it, walk a mile with a ladder and a fucking rifle right past police and seat reservists and get on to the best place to shoot from and then shoot at the present, right? Yeah. Like all these questions are not answered by the profile. I'm just telling you that's who that kid is. And then the fact that he's had contact with overseas people, Bob pull up Major Nadal Hassan, the Fort Hood shooter. Remember that guy? He was radicalized by Amwar Al-Laki, who's the guy, by the way, that Obama conducted three separate drone strikes on killing both like all of his kids and him. They were all American citizens, by the way. Alaki radicalized this dude. He originally reached out to Amwar Al-Laki and the group that he was with, like a precursor to the ISIS kind of, because he couldn't find a woman in America. He was a devout Muslim and he couldn't get laid, right? That was shit. Yes. This guy? Yep. He's the guy that shot up Fort Hood back in the day. They called it a workplace violence. He couldn't get laid? It's not terrorism. Yeah. Well, I think in prison, he got laid a couple of times. Well, actually what's fucked up is he kind of just looks like Arabic Jack Mandeville when he does. And hey, by the way, I think Jack's going to blow his brains out one day. Get that. Oh my gosh, dude. Jack's got a girlfriend now, I think. God. God. But this is how, this is like, this is the same profile as that guy we're discussing right now. Now, Nadal Hassan is older. I think he was in his mid 30s. He had made his way through a career a little bit, but look at his eyes. I mean, this is a guy with low testosterone. It's a guy that fucking can't get women. It's a guy that doesn't feel good about himself, a guy who probably is really smart and thinks he should be better than what he is and it's society that's keeping him down. Think of like a youngian archetype or something like that, like the shadow or something like that. Keep holding it down. Yeah. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to fucking show them. I'm going to show them. And then a guy like Anwar Al-Laki who recruits people, right? A guy who's a terrorist like that or a cult leader or something. They recruit these people and they put them into action squeaky front. Everybody that fucking Manson dealt with is that exact same profile. That is actually how the original assassins got their people. Damn, dude. You know what I'm going to do? Yeah, but it was like loser dudes, right? Nah. Kind of. Yeah. They were like poor and losers. Yeah. This is not, is this Jack? This isn't Jack. No, that's the guy. That's the guy. That's the guy. Yeah. It was like Jack Berkaville, dude. Yeah. Wild. Wild. But this is, you will find in the coming weeks probably. Yeah. That this is exact, it's the same story over and over. The same story. It's Ted Kizinski. It's Ted Kizinski going to fucking Harvard at 16 years old because he's one of the most brilliant mathematicians this world has ever seen. And people dosing him up with acid, gaslighting the fuck out of him, right? Taking advantage of the fact that he was a loser, couldn't talk to women, he's a dirty autistic kid and fucking then putting him into operation. It's over and over and over again for about the last 100 years, right? It's been going on over and over again. And the, the, there are two things that are similar in all these cases. One is the profile of the individual that they'll hit on five or seven out of 10 possible bullet points on that list. And then the other part of it is outside influence of some sort. And that is the question. Where did that outside influence come from? And it's like, well, maybe, maybe you're just speculating when he has three encrypted overseas accounts. I feel like I'm not speculating. And two phones, dude. I know. I feel like I'm not speculating at that point. And then here's the, here's the rest of this. So the only other reason activity on the phone, which the FBI discovered were texts from his parents asking where he was. The source says the parents thought their son had taken the AR style rifle and gone to the shooting range. No, they were probably missing to the police. Yeah. At the day of, yeah. They were probably missing to the police. And then they're also saying, again, this is the Yahoo news here, the, the text began around 1 p.m. and continued throughout the afternoon. By 6 p.m., he was dead. According to the source, the FBI has largely completed its examination of the phone's contents and is now at work on the gunman's laptop and a number of hard drives, which were also recovered from his bedroom. Bob, I'm sending you a link, which email? Drink, brother. Dude, the, the calling, the cops, because he's missing is weird. Apparently, he called in to work and said he couldn't make it because he had something to do. And he said he would be back the next day. And then he also, there are reports, again, from another congressman that say he posted on some gamer channel that he was going to go do something that day or something like that. Bob, pull up this link. Yeah. Go ahead and put that up on the screen. Now, this is John Hinkley. Yeah. He's on Twitter now. Yeah. He's, he's touring. He's, he's a musician. John Hinkley. It's the guy who shot Reagan. Yeah. What? Yeah. He's a musician now. Violence is not the way to go. Give piece of chance. No way. That's the guy that shot right now. Oh, he's got a YouTube channel with his music. Pull, pull, pull, pull. Oh, he's some music. Pull one up for Brent. Yeah. So he's pissed off. He's really pissed off that his, his touring keeps getting canceled because everybody's calling to threaten to cancel the business by touring what he means is he'll get booked at a coffee shop. Sure. Sure. Sure. And then they'll be, they'll find out that he's the guy who shot Reagan, which you honestly, I would think a Starbucks would be pretty into, but well, not a Starbucks, but maybe a mom and pop shop where you're trying to make a name for yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, like Hinkley was, is he still going by? Is this his original name? Yes. I mean, when you've got a terrible brand name recognition like that, you don't give it off. Right. You just try to rebrand a little bit. He should, he should brand himself a little better. How many subscribers does he have? Not enough. 38.6,000. Oh, dude, you got to get him. You got to get him on the pot. You got to get him on. Yeah. So here is a song. This is John Hinkley, a different side of me. It's an original track from Reagan's assassin. Oh, God. Hello, everybody. This is another one of my original songs. You only know what used to be. You don't know the different side of me. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. You never thought you'd be free. Drink it in, Brett. You never thought you'd be free. Drink it in, Brett. Let it go all the way down to your esophagus and your belly. Yep. This song is over, too. Let's go. Let's go. Why did you get his name on the song? I'm not sure. What do you mean? He's dressed like he's about to do it again. I know. It'd be great if somebody came in and popped him in the back. Let's go. Let's get this off the roof. Wow. You got him? Kill this feet? No. Get this off the screen. Shoot John Hinkley immediately. No. No. No. No. You got him. Get this off the screen. Take him out. My God, dude. My God, bro. He looks like he's going to do it again. Yes. About to buy an album. What if he was in your apartment complex and he was just like, "Hey, neighbor." I'd be like, "Hey. No." Stay out of my ear. I don't have shit. Yeah. Get the fuck away from my head. Yeah. That guy is out in the streets today just walking around. He got a Jersey Mike's sub with everything. No. He's just an independent artist, man. He's trying to make it without the record label industry. He's trying to-- SoundCloud. Yeah. He's a SoundCloud rapper. He's actually more of a badass than most gangster rappers because he actually attempted to kill him. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't just fire himself. I feel like he could lean into that, dude. Yeah. If he put on a badass front, like a kid rock type of fuck you, I did that shit. Well, he couldn't make money off of it then. Like, you can't make money off of the crime you've been convicted of. Well, all you need is a thousand true fans, Dan. Well, he's got 38, 38 thousands. What are the comments on these videos, Bob? Like, what are they saying about it? A lot of it was like, "Yo, who's here after Trump?" Shut the fuck up. Oh, his Spotify is probably popping off right now. Yeah. Literally. What are the rest of them? Any like-- These are older ones, sir. I'll go back to the one we just did. He should record a video with a bandage on his ear. Dad, question mark? Yeah. Exactly. Let's see here. This redemption arc is amazing, came from the Wikipedia page, biggest plot twist ever. Yeah, who's here after the Trump incident? Jody Foster is finally impressed, didn't kill Reagan, but killed the house with firebeats. Didn't kill Reagan, but killed at large number six. Somebody should-- Isn't there a comment-- hold on. From drinking bro's podcast? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do it from force. Yeah. So even James Brady stood up and applauded. Wow. Wow. Somebody will get it. That's a big one. Yeah. Comment down. Comment down. Thank you very much. Somebody will get that. I got an entire age range. That's a great guy. That's a great reference. Right. Explain it to me. James Brady is the guy that got fucking paralyzed from that shooting of-- Oh, okay. And they had a-- The Brady Bill. The Brady Bill. That's insane. Yeah. That's awesome. And he's in a wheelchair. Yeah, he's dead now, I think. Standing ovation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is Brady still alive? No, he's dead. Nice. Okay. Damn, man. Damn. Well, it's another one too soon. Jimmy Carter, though, still lives. Still fucking lives. Jimmy Carter should live forever. So we do this thing called Carter Countdown over here? Uh-huh. Because we're counting down to 100. We're like 70 days away. Really? And he's still going. He's been in hospice for-- That's when he turns a hundred. 18 months. Yeah. 24 days. 74 days left. How intense is his hospice, do we know? Is he like moving and grooving still a little bit? Are you kidding? I haven't looked into him a lot. Really? Is he bad? He's still building. Is he good? Pop up that picture from his wife's funeral. I love this. I think he benches three. I just love it, but I don't know what his day to day is like. Oh, my God. I'll show you one picture from the third one. Yep. There we go. Yeah. If I had to guess, I would say he's still throwing up about 350 on the bench. On the flat bench. Right? So his mouth is permanently wide open like that. Okay. Yeah. So they have a-- there's one of the secret service guys has to spray water into his mouth every now and again. No way, really? Oh, no. I don't know. Look at it juice it up. It's a juicy rose. Yeah. Yeah. Mouth breathers live forever. By the way, do you know how we were talking to you the other day about he had some fucking hitters on his detail? Yeah. Look at this badass motherfucker in the front there. Yeah. Yeah. That's looks like some fucking Mossad retirement. Where's that guy in Butler, Pennsylvania, the other day? That's the real life Liam Neeson right there. No shit. Yeah. Trump had Melissa McCarthy and fucking 100-year-old Jimmy Carter's got the most badass motherfucker on earth. Yeah, dude. That's where our priorities are. Hannibal Burris used to do a really good joke about this. He was on a flight with Jimmy Carter once and Secret Service checks the flight and he goes, why? Like, don't worry about Jimmy. Like, nobody's trying to kill Jimmy Carter. Time is going to kill Jimmy Carter. Yeah. Now, that joke was 10 years ago. Jimmy Carter still allows-- Has an age of well. And look at it. Jimmy has not aged well. Look at this picture, Brent. OK. So he's not building houses. He-- this looks like a dead Indian dude in internment. Sure does. I would vote for him over Biden. Fuck yeah. I never said that. I think he could run the free world much better. Well, at least there wouldn't be an illusion that he's actually in control. Right. Right. Right. Right. I just-- if it does go to this on-the-floor delegate thing where they're picking candidates, yeah. I wish I was the rep for Texas where I could just stand up and say, "Jimmy Carter, I want my art bonus for Jimmy." That would be the best thing of all time. You're like, "It's Jimmy Carter, guys." It's Jimmy Carter. Now's his time. He's got four years left. He's in his prime. He's still got eligibility. He sure does. He sure does. Makes way more sense than Nancy Pelosi. Yeah. But yeah. She's 84. Yeah. And she's telling him to step down. Right. What? That's insane. Three years older. Crazy. Yeah, dude. Yeah. That's how all this shakes out, because if you believe the reports, it's supposed to be Sunday night? I think it's more likely at the convention, unless his COVID shit turns legit and actually like-- No, he was-- A big health scare. Is he walking around? He's talking to people and shit. No, they got good drugs. Without a mask on. They got good drugs. Wow. They got really good drugs, dude. It's not I've remept it, though, right? No, you're not. You're not allowed to have it. You're not allowed to have it. Again, that can't have that. Yeah. But if it happens by the end of this weekend, that'd be wild, they're flailing. They're going to be flailing until November. You know what I mean? Yeah. They're going to be so fucking flailing. It's so weird to see right now. Yeah. Because then you had this-- you know, even last night, because we were live super late last night for Ocomania, which is what that was. Ocomania! You've never been more fired up in my entire life. Brother! That was so far. I could have run through that fucking wall last night after that. Yeah, dude. The little kid in me was just like, oh my God, like, he's still delivered, and he was still there, and I believed in it. I used to have one of those-- what were the dolls, the big dolls that you guys actually fucking wrestled? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had one of those with him. Yeah. And I watched him today, and he's still that guy. I know. And he fucking nails it, dude. He nails it. I'm taking vitamins right now live on air, so I'm going to be a little fucking Ocomania guy. I mean, it's-- these are first four, but I'm definitely taking them right now. I was all in, holy shit, and we were laughing about it because I was on the phone with him a couple months ago, and I put it on speaker in the office, just to let everybody hear. Because he still talks to you with, oh man, thanks, brother. Yeah. And looking at you, he's like, fuck. Even when he's chill, he's that guy. He's that guy. Yeah. And I love it. Like, I love that people are that guy. Yeah. That's what I want, and I hope. And the fact that he did that last night was awesome. Mm-hmm. Like, I really enjoyed it. The whole fucking thing was just, like, old school America from the '80s. It was. Yeah, it was cool. Everything about it. Yeah. We were just like, all right, fuck it. What else is next? Yeah, and you know what? I think the assassination attempt changed what the convention was going to be. Because I watched Dana White. I watched Trump. I watched Tucker. I watched a couple of the speeches. And there was so much less, like, anger than the left. And there was, like, kind of, Trump talked about love and unity in his speech. Like, within minutes 10 to 20. I was watching. I was like, this is just motherfucker talking about love. Yeah. I've never seen him speak with, like, grace and control in the way that he did. And I think if the assassination attempt hadn't happened, it would have been kind of the same thing that we've been seeing from both sides. A lot of anger, a lot of fucking vitriol. But it was like chill. It was like, it felt, yeah, like you said, like a throwback. So when people were just stoked on their country, in the 80s, we had the fun Reagan shirts and all that other shit. Yeah. And you still got a couple, like, Biden sucks, fire Biden signs. And I feel like that's part of the modern political landscape where people are so angry against the other person. But there was less of that last night than there typically is, I think, that's what I saw. And it was interesting because Dan said this when we went right on air before Trump came on stage, he said, according to the team, they're not going to mention Biden wants during the speech, because they don't know who it's going to be. Yeah, he did it anyways. He did it once. Yeah. And then he was like, that's the only time. The only time I'm going to mention. He caught himself. And it was just like, and so Dan, you were correct on that, which was surprising. So yeah, I don't know what's going to happen over the weekend. It's going to be interesting, man. Every day I wake up now, I'm just like, all right, well, what is it today? Well, we'll see. Today was the power outage. Yeah. By the time this show comes out Sunday night, he'll either be in the racer out of it. But my expectation is he'll be out of it. I hope he's out, dude, because I just want Bobby to get more stream-time, dude. I just want, I know Bobby Kennedy is such an outside fucking chance and I get that. But I really like him. And I think it would be dope if he was just a little bit more in the conversation. Sure. Just going to get it a little bit. But you know he can't win. I know. I know. But I like him. I like him a lot. Yeah. I like him a lot. What is it that you like about him? I like that he, I went to an event that he did in Austin a couple of months ago and it was like a wellness event. So it was focused on personal wellness and freedom from all the big pharma and big food and big ag. And then he talked about planetary wellness and he's just got kind of a cool mind for wellness and independent wellness away from all these systems that we've grown to rely on over time. So I just think, I just want him to, I want more people to hear what he says. I don't really give a fuck what anybody votes for as long as it's not, you know, the old decrepit corpse on the left, but sure, uh, it would just be cool to see him amplify it slightly more. I love that. I love that. It'd be me. I can't move your vote for it. Just not that one guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vote for whoever you want. As long as it's not the guy I really don't like. And by the way, so, uh, they just released a statement right now from the White House, Joe Biden's COVID symptoms have improved meaningfully his physician's states and Biden says he will return to the campaign trail next week. That is out as of 12 minutes ago. Mm hmm. We'll see. I don't know. So here's, here's what I'm hearing, uh, from an AOC did an hour on her Instagram live, on Instagram live last night talking about this shit about the legality of moving stuff around, which a lot of people understand it was actually pretty good. If you want to go watch it, I don't know if I can handle an hour of her. I saw clips of it and they were, they were good. She communicates, one, the legality of stuff from her perspective, she communicates that nobody in the democratic parties in charge, nobody knows what the fuck's going on. And then what I hear from other people, I know that work in politics in DC, there are two coalitions right now, well, there's three coalitions right now. One is the Biden family led by Jill who's like, we're not fucking leaving. I'm not fucking leaving. Yeah. Not fucking leaving. Right. The coalition too is Obama and Pelosi and they're trying to get him the fuck out of there, however they can, right? And Kamala's on that train. She's, she tried to invoke the 25th amendment two days ago, like I reported, um, but they don't know how it works legally. Nobody's ever done before. So nobody knows how to do section four legally, right? The other coalition is the bulk of the democratic party, the house and Senate who have no fucking clue what's going on, which is interesting because now they have to go back out on the road this weekend and next and, and on through the election and campaign on something. They don't even know what they're campaigning on anymore because the top of the ticket, nobody knows who it is. They don't know what the message is. Right? That's the, that's what the fuck the leader of the party is supposed to do is set the tone for all the fucking elections around the country. Nobody knows what to do right now. And they are panicking like they are people are jumping ship. People are making deals with Republicans. All kinds of stuff is going on. It's strange times, man, but I can tell you after this week and what we've seen, it feels like America's is back a little bit with Zuckerberg and all this other stuff. Yeah. I'm taking my fucking kid to twisters tonight. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Twisters back. Lazer. Twisters back. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. What is, uh, what's twisters? You remember, uh, movie twister, movie twister about the. It's not a remake. It is a sequel sequel. Oh, it is a sequel? Yeah. Oh shit. I didn't know that. It's not an original standalone. Uh, I mean, it takes place in the twister verse. They're obviously tornadoes just like, you know, I'm talking a dorky voice. Yeah. It's in the same twister verse. I think they are kind of like loosely connected though. It's like, oh, someone's daughter is like kind of in it or something like that, but it's the same universe. Okay. Cool. Cause I'm looking at the numbers last night here, uh, 10 million in previews last night. That is a massive number. Yeah, that's a lot. I, uh, my kids wanted to see it in IMAX with the late. Have you been in the laser shit up here? No. How long have you been in town? Like two weeks. Oh shit. So go to, there's a place called a Evo cinemas right up the road. Mm hmm. You've got the brand new laser bull, IMAX thing that'll rip your face off. Great. There's speakers everywhere where it's so goddamn loud. You feel like you're in it and it rocks. So the kids are like, Hey, dad, get those specific tickets. Yeah. And I was like, all right. We'll do it. Yeah. So I'm all in on fucking twister tonight. Hulk Hogan's back. It's America. And he feels like America's America, dude. I was like, let's do it. Do you doubt the last time I'm tapping up, dude? Let's fucking go, bro. Let's go. Do you think they'll dedicate this film to Philip Seymour Hoffman or Bill Paxton? No. So they did for Bill Paxton, but not Phillip, no, not Phillip, but they did for Bill Paxton. Well, here's the hangman is, uh, is playing him. So he dedicated it to him and, uh, and he said it'll be impossible, shoes and all that other stuff. That actually did happen at the premiere. It's a good for him. That's cool. Yeah. Fuck it. Uh, by the way, Elon Musk reported that, um, he said we just deleted crowd strike from all our systems. Um, I don't know if this was before or after the rollout of that patch. And I don't know if he means Twitter or Twitter, Tesla and space X or what? Yeah. But apparently, apparently they're gone now. Well, I'm sure it's going to happen a lot of companies. Yeah. Uh, now's the point of the show. We get to the drinking bro of the week, which is someone who has inspired you or helps you become the person you are today. Who'd you like to get the drinking bro of the week to? Uh, this week, I'm going to give it to my uncle, John. Um, my uncle works in, uh, uh, VR, uh, at Facebook, uh, and he hilariously like despises Mark Zuckerberg and that whole system and he, uh, he told me this really funny joke a couple of weeks ago is about Leah Thomas, the swimmer, and I get a lot of my humor from my uncle, John. He's a sarcastic fucking rocket scientist genius hates all the same shit that we all can't stand. Uh, and he, he showed me this, this joke and he was like, um, you know, Leah Thomas at a post meat press conference when a reporter says, Hey, Leah, uh, a lot of the female competitors around you are complaining that you were born a man, raised a man, trained as a man. And now that you identify as a woman, you're coming in and you're winning all the races. How do you respond to that? And she goes, well, you know, uh, to my fellow women, I say that I train with you as a fellow woman. I say that I work just as hard as you do. And I win these races as a woman fair and square. And if you don't like that, you can suck my dick. So shout out to my uncle, John, for, uh, inspiring me, uh, to really not give a fuck. That's awesome. I appreciate you, John. That's awesome. Man, I'm glad to be here, dude. Yeah. And I hope that you'll, the ear heals quick. I'll be back next time, hopefully without a bandage, uh, I appreciate your commitment to the bit for the whole show. Yeah. Well, I'm healing. I'm healing. American America's. America's, yeah. And I will remove this bandage when, uh, when Trump does so that we can be one cup of coffee in the big time. Yeah. I wish Savage was alive for this. That was the only thing that I missed last night. If you could watch a man team, yeah, with Savage coming into the end and then him giving a speech, jacked up on cocaine, God damn it, man, that would have been the only topper last night for me. Yeah. Yeah. I just would have fucking OD live on air and just cobeying myself, like, oh, girl, it's too, it would have been too much America too much. Yeah. Start coming. Yeah. I mean, I would have pulled the shotgun out and just ended it live on air. Uh, appreciate you tuning in, kids. Go to iTunes, rate the show a five star and leave a quick review.
