I Came With Fire
"Burnt Popcorn" One Last Popcorn Pod with Zach
What's up everybody welcome back to I came with our podcast Tonight is a fun and somber episode. I guess We have put out an episode without Zack already, but this is Zach's final episode Zach and I's final episode together So you know if Zach wants to give a little brief explanation of why he is Taking a step back. That's cool But just when you know, we're gonna call this one burnt popcorn, but I don't want you guys to think it's because something bad happened It didn't so but just because it's another popcorn podcast and you know, we're just calling it burnt popcorn for fun So but anyway, man, it's been a fun year doing this with you and I appreciate you You're being being the co-host and you know, we did I did an episode with Chris And then somebody made a comment on one of the reels I shared today. It said Zach looks weird Yeah, so I I can change my my appearance on a whim. No You're magical. Yeah. Yeah, no, it has been a really really good year. I have enjoyed a lot of it But yeah, just so people know I'm stepping away Fully I might come back for like maybe special episode here and there depending on sure happens and stuff But yeah, I just decided to set up a way. I feel like it. I'm a very private person usually so Yeah, the public for this launch kind of Maybe a little feel a little weird and eerie and then also I just kind of want to focus more on Family and then I'm going back to my actual job here soon. So our security forces and Thunder that I know that schedule's gonna take a lot of time for me, too So I decided to focus on our advertising time Differently so Unfortunately, this this got the axe. So no worries, man. I enjoyed all of it. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed Learning a lot with you our fun sayings. Yeah, if it flies as fast Getting a lot closer with you stuff like that. I was crazy. I'm a penny here. I look back great I just doesn't feel like it doesn't feel that fast. No, it doesn't feel like I agree here but no a lot of our guests were really smart and Most of the time just go on the way by what they would say or what they would show us and so for anyone Some of the things these people have been through. Yeah For anyone who's been listening for the whole year You've kind of seen the channel Progress and get better especially content-wise and choreo eyes and type of stuff and then also I feel like guest-wise I mean, we had some hard hitters in the beginning. Don't be wrong. I love all our guests But I feel like guests got better Will be interviewed better. So dude, everything changed about the podcast when you came on because Beforehand, I didn't really have like a theme and hadn't really thought I'd put too much effort into a theme And then if you have truly been with me since the beginning when The nerd that was doing this with me before You know, there wasn't much of a theme, you know And then it completely and totally changed if you caught that wins that came on and He's actually the one that made all those designs that we post every Monday Wednesday and Friday So and we're just you know, we're gonna keep doing them, but I'll be the ones making them now So but yeah, everything changed right now. So yeah We used to do the like the like Wednesday news wrap-up or whatever and then we stop we stop doing that Weekly Wednesday wrap-up. Yeah, we stopped doing that because like I think that was like an old From the previous, you know, me and the other guy Thing that cuz kind of got held over because we tried to do like a more new center thing But like he certainly did not put in the effort to do that and it just was like a remnant that hung around for a while And we kind of stopped because it really wasn't a lot more. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie that weekly Wednesday wrap-up Every like Monday Tuesday ish my anxiety through the roof because like I had to find really yeah I'd like find like enough good news content and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't like Super left lean or super right leaning it had to be out generic generic world news. Yeah Barbara Smith was chili cook-off in Oklahoma City. Yeah, you know And that's the way the cookie crumbles back to you exactly where the chili bubbles. Let's look at the chili But no, it was uh So I at first I was like, yeah, this is a great thing and after a while I was like, ah, it's just so annoying And then honestly you guys weren't watching it like it had like the lowest views of anything we put out Yeah, yeah, so every once in a while like one of those would like pop on like YouTube and It was always somebody saying just something about one of the things, you know, yeah I don't know a ramboms another place or like a berry, you know So I don't know who the rebels get blown the fuck up or whatever, you know somebody would be like, oh, man How could I lie that that thing that we did for a while to weekly? Wednesday wrap-up It made me like cuz I was always in the news like all the time Oh, yeah, the news is usually always negative like a choice. I'm negative It's like during that time. I was like man the world sucks But then I know it's like when I stop seeing it all the time and I kind of like it's also I think right after this when I actually like I stopped being on social media law like I think I just come to each After I step with mr. Graham so like that and after that I was like wow the world's actually pretty nice because I wasn't seeing all like the disdain and Violence and just a negativity constantly. I was seeing my lovely family. I was having conversations with you I was you know seeing the time the people I was recruiting to the Air Force and their life changed for the better and So I just it was great. I study something Yeah, no, that's something about just if you cuz I've done that before to sell my throw my life is pay if you pay a lot of Tension to the news you do just get depressed because yeah I was actually cuz I was a guest last night on where the weird ones are podcast and We had a conversation about crisis fatigue and I was just making a point that like it is dude You so much stuff happens that you just get to the point where you don't care like oh look another thing that really is global News because it's that serious happened this week, and I don't care because I'm just burnt out from constantly hearing about What's the same as the crisis thing as they've been you probably talked about it in your through yesterday, but What's what's crazy these crisis things? They happen so quickly like I was looking at looking at YouTube today and There's a random view came across and it was like 10 people killed by teen in Florida today, and I've read that headline real quick And just kept scrolling by like it's so normal to just see it now, then I was like, okay cool. I just kept going like 10 people died today and my response my subconscious response was alright. Where's that funny video? I'm trying to find like Yeah, that's insane dude. We've all yeah, you know, it's it's so funny because a long time ago right now All these these Midwestern moms try to make it a big deal about video games and saying like our kids are getting numb to Violence and all the shit and like maybe they had a good point because all of the violence and and crap We see on the news now. It just washes over your head like unless you like I don't know. There's some stuff in the news like I'll see something you do like if I see something about like kids Like that'll get me you know what I mean? Or I don't know. I was just saying that like every once in a while something will get me But like it's up. Yep another attack another this and other than that, you know And it just it is what it is whereas before the 24 hour news cycle before the internet and internet news You know, it just you you found out the news in the evening like everybody else and you're you read it in the newspaper And I was like, holy shit that happened. You know it used to used to find out about it in the UK And then there was a there was a time when TV when stuff was like ten o'clock or something and it would just Go turn like it all turn off News right and you wouldn't be bombarded You see yeah, and like maybe I don't know because I never lived in that period of time But like I could assume that when that happened and in the morning when you got up and you got your newspaper And you read your newspaper before work Maybe you were reading a little more in depth about what you saw in the news the night before but it wasn't all A whole new slew of fucking shit that when you wake up in the morning, you you know You get these push notifications on your phone from your Reuters or CNN or whatever, you know News app you use and you know, they're like, oh man, and they're always this something, you know So it is it's it's a very real thing that you can get depressed about real quick If you spend a lot of time in it this is something else too is to for like the the new age of the internet and 24/7 news cycle you mostly if it was like in the newspaper or on the news It was actually something like worth knowing about, you know But if you're about like local stuff from different localities, you would hear about global stuff or an ash or stuff, but yeah like to reference the 10 people killed today in Florida Like when I was in middle school high school, and this is like, you know 2005 to 2010 does 11, right? You probably wouldn't hear about that. Honestly, it wasn't National News. Yeah, it would be something local for like just Florida and maybe like Georgia or like the surrounding states to know about But it wouldn't it wouldn't get like Washington where I was because it wasn't right wasn't worth Broadcasting to my eyes in my area dude and social media has been really good about All this like local lore that maybe you grew up with and wherever you're from Some obscure town in Iowa or me and somebody will make like you though Maybe there was like a crazy murder or a really weird halfway paranormal event that happened in 1979 and everybody in your little local corner of the woods knows about it, you know But now maybe you find it on TikTok or you find it on YouTube because somebody did it and then because somebody had an interest in it Now 10 other people did it, you know or whatever so like even all the weird little you know local yokell shit that happens in BFE Iowa or Montana or whatever even has its its corner of the internet now, so yeah kind of funny That's weird. It's kind of like an interesting and kind of fun thing. It's like you can learn about urban legends from Northwestern Utah, you know or whatever but because like you did it is it you could imagine like a complete Totally Bigfoot or like other like monsters and stuff on like our bar crease episodes and Before like the age of the internet or like a massive global communication even national communication I Bet there was like people seeing Bigfoot in Washington and they're probably like dear it This is only here like we got to go get it and then some dude saw it and like you know Montana was like bro Like what the hell is that and they have no idea that it was Possibly like the same creature across states, you know, like they're probably going to think about it like dude I can give you yard right I could give you a good example of that because Where I went to a college in in St. Louis There's like a a section of the town that's got some like really old railroad tracks and some like dilapidated like faculty Jesus factory buildings and they're not like use or anything like that, but this is like urban legend. Yeah, black lady faculty all of Congress anyway But no There's like an urban legend that if you go to these railroad tracks and you put like flour or powdered sugar or something like that On the trunk and you put the car in neutral and you park over the top of the railroad tracks That you'll get pushed over the railroad tracks by like this ghost And you put the powder on the trunk because you can see like the handprints and that's like the urban legend Yeah, that's the first time I'd heard about that but in the military meeting other people they're like, oh, there's a story like that where I'm from in New York Or there's a story like that where I'm from in North Carolina or whatever. You know what I mean? Do you think that's like a an actual ghost thing or do you think it's just something that like humans come up with to explain something or to connect or Maybe like your parents folklore just told you to like make you knock over the tracks at night because it's like not safe And it's just a generic Made up like it's it's weird that happens sometimes where you have like communities that don't communicate and They'll both come up with like the same like don't do this because this and it's like almost the same And it's just like humans just come up with that as a way to not do something. It's weird Yeah, I'll give you I'll give you a couple examples as well of this that maybe'll help answer your question, right? So I do think that maybe this originated somewhere as like an urban legend Maybe there was a car accident on the railroad tracks a couple of teens earning how to drive I'll drink in maybe whatever something right and then you know back in I don't know Let's just use a time period the 40s of the 50s news didn't travel as fast But it did travel you know because there were cars and the military right people in the military share stories And that I just naturally spread but there are a bunch of urban legends like that that have prominence all over the place so like There there's like a really famous ghost right the lady in white So many people so many places even in Europe have haunting tales of like the lady in white It's like you know She can either be like a bride who was jilted and murdered by her husband or like she was a mother who's who you know Lost her child and now she's wandering the grounds of this beautiful But you know ghostly garden looking for her child or like one of the more popular as well. Yes, it's There's a more popular one in the United States, the Chicago area called resurrection Mary It's one of those like hitchhiker ghosts right where like she is wandering outside of resurrection cemetery in In Chicago and unsolved mysteries actually has an episode about resurrection. Yeah, me too Rolled Robert's sack of those are the best but I'm where essentially she she's killed in a car accident and then you know These men are driving by the cemetery at night and they see her walking down the street And they pick her up and she has to take them ask them to take her home And when they get to the house she's not in the car You know and then like one of the people like gets the balls to get out of the car and go up to the house and ask and they're like Oh, that's our daughter Mary. Why are you messing with me? That's so mean she died ten years ago or whatever and you're like they see a photo of her on the hutch and She was just in my car, you know, whatever exactly right, you know But there are so many you know quote-unquote resurrection Mary's stories around the US You know that you know the hitchhiker ghost is a pretty common theme I mean even Disney uses the hitchhiker ghost thing and like the Haunted Mansion, you know But she's just another version of the hitchhiker ghost just like the woman in white is like another version of like could be like Yerona or whatever everywhere's got it There's like even famous photos of ladies and white ghosts, you know, I mean from like, you know way back in the day And so I think that these are just like all urban legends that may be you know Victorian-era white dresses are are pretty common, you know what I mean, so like everybody's got a story You know what I mean? Yeah, and like these of course the hitchhiker mom or your mom dies They were wearing that when they died right, you know, like right or let's let's ask this question, right? Did hitchhiker ghost stories exist when there were just carriages and no cars like were you riding your horse and buggy past the cemetery in 1840 that's a good question For Google Is this one of these ghost stories that's come around because of cars in a hiker ghost stories Things this before ours Yeah, is there like a hitchhiker ghost for like carriage, you know horse and buggy Do homage people have hitchhiker ghosts? I want to know I need you. Oh, there's Ezekiel. He died in 1650. Oh He's still churning butter. Look at him Even in the afterlife Yeah, it says there were there's people who would say that they have okay people would be like hey, I need to ride in your on your horse or on your buggy and You'd be like all right cool. This one said what this one says they like him though There are some people like the early 1800s who would like give it right to a dude to the next town over on his horse Well, there you go And he would like all of a sudden not feel him and he'd look back and the person's done. So hitchhiker ghosts are old There we go. I think the urban legends that that Maybe have morphed you know over time, you know, like resurrection Mary She gets in your car, you know fucking whatever because you're a bogey Hill Cemetery Tom from 1840, you know gets on your buggy No, does he is he gonna ask it for a ride in your Toyota? I don't know he might if you find I don't know see I think they're like urban legends that just have evolved with time and like I Bet what it is to do not even be willing so far as to go that like some of these urban legends just originated from Somebody who heard it from somebody else. Oh, yeah And they think you tell a story like that. Yeah. Hey, did you hear that on the train tracks over on Mulberry that? Long ago in 1945 a couple of kids died there and you can just just tell in a total fib It's like when I was at high school. There is a thing that went around that every And I was like she doesn't age till the 11 that everyone thought that Jeffrey star actor like we're moved his body rims so you can suck now. That was Marilyn Manson It was not Jeffrey star. Mm-hmm. Same thing He barely removed his like bottom. Yeah, I'm so good suck them so hard. Mm-hmm. You just was total bullshit Yeah, you're just like what? Weird it's not like that point that Aaron made on the episode with him where he was like there was a time when you could have said Mike Tyson Did anything and you would believe it because it's so fucking nice Like that was the same with like Marilyn Manson and you know what else is like everybody from that group? Like with with we did we all remember learning that weird s you know, I know you know what I'm talking about the Six where the fuck yeah, where the fuck did that shit come from? I'm sure somebody has figured it out But we all learned about it. Yeah, no matter where you went to fucking school I learned about it when I'd be strong all the time. I'd also yeah For no reason had to sing to remember hags. It's like every year you're killing your your book And it was like ways they have a great summer So it's hags. Oh dude. I've never heard of that. Yeah, so that was like the first thing in like Washington It's because I was a military brat. Maybe but like it was like a way to like say you just go hags It was like everyone's your book and I remember you have a great summer Yeah, I know people we were in hags in my year But what the fuck is this and it's like there's a place music. Oh, and it just kept going like there's like a thing I've never even heard of that. Yeah. Yeah. Just like a fun acronym to fucking write. I've never even heard that hmm Yeah, no, I think I think it's all just I'm sure there's like a I'm sure there's an OG Hitchhiker ghost story somewhere, you know, or there's an OG lady and white story, you know Though I think the most prominent hitchhiker ghost I've ever heard of is the whole resurrection Mary one I think at least that's the one I you know, that's the first one I remember seeing on Us all mysteries, but even like another unsolved mysteries episode. There's just so many freaking good ones It is not the original episodes like on some string service that you can like watch I think it's either it's either Hulu or Paramount Plus. I'm pretty sure I'll look that up. We watched it. Yeah, but like there's another like there's like a harbinger ghost, right? Like one of the stories on ourselves mysteries is from like the outer banks in North Carolina like a guy who died on his horse Like he fell off his horse and died and now he tells people Saint Paulie's island I think is is what it is off the coast of North Carolina And if you run into him on the beach or somewhere on the island It's supposed to be like a warning to you But like in a benevolent sort of way like hey get out of here because the hurricane's coming or something like that And um, you know, he's like a warning like a harbinger ghost, but in a good way Then there's ghosts that are like harbinger ghosts, but in a bad way like yeah something bad is gonna happen You know what I mean if you see this, you know, or you know seven days or whatever. I don't know, but so let's themes Apparently this episode is becoming a paranormal one, but the We do have we do have popcorn potter questions. That's fine. We'll get to them for everybody listening. Yeah Station don't skip ahead. Don't skip back. I actually just get back we listen to us Yes, let's just for the time being just all agreed right now aliens exist and ghosts exist We're not gonna debate their existence. We're saying both exists. Okay. Yes. I I agree. Do you think? ghosts Can't hike part a new of those? Oh You think there's a possibility if there's a physical UFO craft. I don't see why not But don't see why not do you think like an alien would be like freaked out? It's like going to interstellar space or Something space goes and he looks back and he's like what the fuck? How'd you get in here? There's 6,000 years ago crashed on Saturday's rings and now if you go to that part of space, right? You can you can see the ghost of a vlog on Space goes. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. Maybe maybe another question We're kind of sorry how like there's an interconnect and it's between the stories that things make why is like every human afraid of Uncanny-looking humans Then why is that so the uncanny valley thing? Yes explanation human is like not quite like Something's off. Yeah, is it is it because there was like some ancient? Humanoidish figure that hunted us and like we're just supposed to be afraid of it Like what the heck is that? Yeah, right because because if you have if we have like a fear of it It's because there was a evolutionary Survival-based need for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, the best explanation I've heard for it is that That uncanny valley With humans is is from seeing dead bodies and that dead bodies You should stay away from because they give off disease or you know Maybe it's it's something that a predator who eats carry-on might be attracted to or whatever Because like if you ever seen a dead body, which I know we both have understand They do look off and it's the color. They're very pallid, right? Maybe their faces is rested in a you know surprised look at their eyes are open or like I Went to a call one time or a guy had a heart attack and landed right on his face and broke his fucking nose So like his whole everything was covered in blood because he was bleeding but he was dying You know so like something about him is off So like I could see that like maybe that's where that developed I think that's a good explanation, but I just don't know that it's like such a fear rooted in survival that it would Because there's the legacy fear for the entire evolutionary process Yeah, the more fun explanation is definitely that if there's someone that looks just like you Go the other way, you know Yeah, that's a more fun explanation. What's a girl kill movie where we were like called a You make four movies now. Yeah, I know what you're talking about That's not Netflix. It's a good to go. We but it's um both premises that like there's like a factory of Humans that look just like you like underneath the ground and they escape apparently Yeah, but they will die if they don't eliminate you because they have to like take your spot So like they're all trying to so like if you saw you like we had to kill you to live. Yeah, yeah It's I've not actually seen that movie, but I know you're talking about it's like it wasn't there was like an actor or maybe a musician who Said that he saw Like refrigerated room full of fucking body doubles and I'm trying to remember who was part of me thinks it was Bernie Mac But I could be wrong Probably ever wrong honestly, but that he saw that's like a claim. He made is that he he saw a room of body doubles or people who are famous That's Part of the whole like Illuminati thing to write is like it's like you've seen too. We're like there's all these There's a there's all these celebrities. We say oh like that's not them anymore. You know what I mean? That doesn't something's off about them, you know or whatever because like there's a there's like old tiny photos That are like confirmed to be from the time period not oh, yeah, and like Sean were using it Mm-hmm, and then there's like one little Nicholas Cage and then there's yeah Well, there's the crazy one about Anne Hathaway as well Because she was and Shakespeare's wife was Anne Hathaway as well, and there's all these really weird similarities and parallels between her even like her her husband or boyfriend or something at one point I don't pay attention on slavery shit, but like That she is from that time period or whatever. I don't know. I don't necessarily believe in In immortal beings like human beings But I do think that people There's a theory like Kelly Clark is a killer Carson or who is a no, ever with me We're like she like died and like the current ever the mean is really body double and she's just continuing on because you're not supposed to know I really mean like died or something if you've heard that whatever heard that one about her I do know that she got bit by taking got Lyme disease and she's almost died a couple times And that's why she fell off Everybody being body double I haven't heard that one about Apple V. I've heard it about a lot of other people like they had a Kanye West body double thing for a while Obviously everybody thinks Joe Biden's a lizard like I can't Or different right so these more is eyelids, you know once a week there. I see something about you know, I don't know That's a mask. It was a conspiracy link says in three. So the arrow being died in 2000 that she died in 2002 Shortly after these are successful for a little let go and was replaced by her whining double Which is confirmed to be your body double. She would like go other places to confuse paparazzi your name is Melissa van della Mm-hmm. That's where that came from family. This is another one about the Beatles, too, right? Yeah, there's a There's more about every famous person I'm doing that like if you play a certain part of this is a even a part in the sleepless in Seattle movie with the kids are listening to strawberry fields record backwards and it says Paul is dead This was that whole theory that I think Paul McCartney died at some point and that they replaced him with somebody else Yeah, there's a bunch of things like that. It wouldn't surprise me like I'll put it this way like if if you could really find somebody that looked just like somebody famous in a band and like you could pull that off Especially in a day and age when the Beatles were famous without the internet without fucking You know the immediate expedited photos everywhere around the world that you probably could pull that off You know at least for a little while, you know because I mean there's a there's like famous events or history of like even Kings or or like famous warriors who have died and they just get propped up on horses and shit like that And they blame their dead body to the battlefield You know it's like a morale thing because they don't want to know You know they don't want the men to know that the fucking that they're rich or the lion heart is dead They don't want it They won't tell them it's a lot to the battle or whatever, you know And um, yes, people do that the original singer for AC DC. He died right on AC DC was again like real big Like over no, this is nothing And the band almost broke up until they found I can't remember his name They found like the guy to replace him and they still look the same, but they sound exactly the same It's like we knew this it's pretty crazy. It's like the other like If you didn't know that it was two different dudes. You did it was the same guy You'd be like, yeah, that's pretty wild. Yeah, it's pretty wild It doesn't look the same, but they're they found someone who was willing to sing sounded just like the other guy and uh, yeah and actually the song back in black is a um Is written for It's it's like an homage to the original vocalist dying It feels like i'm back in black. I need to sack Like him like i'm back, but i'm in him pretty much like i'm still here. I didn't know. I did not know that It's a good song. Yeah, I didn't know that's a good song. It's an homage. Well, I think we should get these questions Brandon house Well, yeah, you want to go first or should I go first you hit it out first? Ooh, okay, let's see I asked you kind of a fun easy one first Okay All right, if you were stuck in a library in like a day after tomorrow if you remember that movie Yeah style blizzard below the middle was just raging outside in their library in your city just in the library What book would you burn first to keep warm? What book would i burn first? So, yeah, i'm i'm not like an avid reader So like oh charles diggens christ christmas carol. I can't burn this like what what are you gonna go grab? You know like honestly the oldest of the book kind of the better to burn so i gotta go get like Kind of be like the bible or stop the fact that you're gonna burn the bible Okay, I mean it I guess it is a thick book I was like happily expecting you to be like i'm gonna go find the communist manifesto It's all of carol marks his work, you know, i'm just gonna burn it all It doesn't I mean if i'm in the day after tomorrow, and i'm just trusting war. I guess i'm not like choosy on the book Yeah, you don't really care right it's survival but just for fun right like Right. Yeah. I don't know. It's just survival. You don't give a shit. You just fuck I would just be shoving books onto the floor. You know what i mean? Yeah, I guess I guess i'm going with all of them I'm just on the dock of seuss books because i'm gonna read them real quick before burn Into entertainment as i'm warming up. You know what i mean? Okay, that's a good that's that wasn't I wasn't expecting that answer, but that's surprisingly good the doctor seuss books Yeah, it's really funny. I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna finish, I'm gonna finish. All right, let me up right next one Okay, i'm gonna go from there. Would you eat great green ham Green eggs and ham. Sam. I am. Yeah Okay, I would I'll burn it too. Yeah, i'll burn it right after i read it because they're quaint there are a lot too Yeah, i'm thinking about there are a lot of dr seuss books And they probably have multiple copies of oh yeah, you know green eggs and ham or you know the fucking lorax In the library because there's gonna be exactly horton burns a book. You know what i mean? Exactly. Oh, it's a terrible thing in my head. Yeah, hort. Yeah. Oh, man, tara I probably should keep my joke that just popped it in my head and myself, especially that's pretty bad with him. Anyway So i'm so steeper. Would you warm, would you, do you feel scared with carl marks or the The yeah, I mean if I if it wasn't like a You know, oh, man, something needs to be on fire or we're gonna freeze a death kind of thing Uh, but you like absolutely we're gonna burn something to keep warm I think I would go for like the encyclopedias because they're kind of fucking useless, you know everything in an encyclopedia It's pretty much online and like yeah, there's probably info in order encyclopedias It's not online you know, but there's a fuckload of them. I forgot all really big Yeah, I would probably go for like maybe if I could find like some copyright 1974 encyclopedia Britannica's i'm like, this is definitely out of fucking date, you know and just Burn them maybe something like that. There's a fuckload of nipsters dictionaries The soreses there you go. You don't need like all right, we're I don't know. Yeah resource resource style books You know, yeah All of these old dictionaries the sores is maybe i'll go find struck in whites fucking book on writing. I hate actually I should probably grab a The thesaurus I would start with that word and then I would it is fine. I would find like a And also a word for like like fire or warm flame or something and then say it and I'm living on fire And then we know the sores and then find a different way right You just you know me Find a makeshift one and just be like inflamare Like me some weird like harry potter, you know Let you saw right in on fire. Let's inflamare Right exactly Zachary smith Oh Right the view Zachary smith Smite Right something like that. All right. Just get answer. Dr. Seuss books. That was pretty good I wasn't I wasn't expecting dr. Seuss. I wasn't even there's a good fucking answer. Yeah. Yeah All right, so I'll give you kind of a it's not it's like a phone, but it's a little easier Uh, what is your favorite Zelda game? And why This is a good question. It is Yeah So it's it's a hard question to answer. I'm gonna pick one but the one okay Well, I'm gonna pick one and I'm gonna give you give me like a hierarchy. Yeah, like top through top five But I want to read one first Yeah, yeah Yeah, I was I'm a 90s kid man. I'm gonna have to say the ocarina of time is my favorite And I think the nostalgia is what pushes it into the number one spot. Okay, because I saw someone else say this about breath of the wild that breath of the wild looks now the way all of us Thought ocarina of time looked when we were kids Okay, and that's how it that's how like our brain was like amazed by you know I mean how as crisp and cool as they did high rule and breath of the wild to use the kingdom That's how we interpreted ocarina of time. Yeah, and um just the music the gameplay the Pretty much open Mm-hmm the open world sort of style like you know, there's more of a storyline time if you have to follow exactly Um that I mean, I'm gonna tell you right now when people talk about like staying up late and playing video games That was the one for me like when I had five friends and we would we would we would just sit and watch each other play Ocarina of time and like we played gold nigh two or like starfox like on 64 and shit or PlayStation need for speed or Fucking metal beer solid or whatever we had all those games You know what I mean? But like ocarina of time was that one for me? And it also came at like a time when my parents were giving me a lot more freedom So I could like go and like I started having a lot more sleepovers and shit Yeah, and I was like kind of right as I came up It was you know, but ocarina of time the music is so quintessential it is and I can I could sit here and hum multiple songs from ocarina time I Have songs I have like the originals all my stuff I like play was and I have like remixed versions and then I have like multiple low-fives all the sound yeah I have like I like the EDM versions of them. They're like hard. They're great. Dude. I even have like some like one of my favorites is a Piano rendition of song of storms. That's a really cool chord I was also just dancing to a Classical zelda music with setup the other day. I was playing it in a very new artist dance at the fifth week Dude, you can do that totally with other music. Yeah, but I had to say after that Definitely breath of the wild is number two But I want to give some love to Some of the other games that like my first so my first Zelda game I played was a link to the past On super Nintendo and my parents bought us a bunch of super Nintendo games out of yard sale And I had a super Nintendo prior to that and I had so probably had like probably like contra street fighter You have like a mesh with prime Super Mario Bros. Mm-hmm. I had super Mario Bros. I had mario cart I had donkey Kong the original um I actually have a video on vhs of me getting donkey Kong for christmas in 1994 Where you just decided to do that one video when you get something that has 64 reason I got not that excited but really excited Yeah, but no my parents They bought a bunch of super Nintendo games that yard sale somebody was probably pcs in because it was in base housing Yeah, and um, they came home with them, but it they had I remember you only game Well, I take that back. I remember a couple of the games came with it like a some baseball game as well Um, but sim city and then a link to the past and um, dude I That that's what got me hooked on the zelda zelda world and then um, there was a lady that lived up the street from us She had a couple of teenage sons and um, I don't remember if like I was over there um being baby sat by her because maybe my parents were on a date or something like that, but one of her sons He um, and I went up to his room with him when we were playing he had a super Nintendo he was playing But he was playing one of the like old zelda games like zelda one or two and I remember Because he was like all this zelda And I remember I remember saying this isn't zelda. I have zelda and he's like no you have you have you probably have this one It was linked to the past they showed me he's like yeah, this is before that And I had no idea that that's what it was but I sat and watched him play like one of the older zeldas And I was like oh shit this there's like other games, you know, but um, I had like the zeldas for um for game boy as well Like oracle of seasons and oracle of time Those cap those I mean this cap is great. You can play it is you can play that on the switch actually Um, there but uh, those those two that uh Like ages and time or whatever seasons and time I think seasons and then time Oracle of time and seasons of the same season something Something like those were made by capcom. They weren't made by the normal so they're a little different But they're really good too. You can play those on the switch as well now, but minish cap is really good Um, but I still do I have multiple saves of a link to the past and then the one that they made with um What's whatever game boy who came out like I don't know like 10 or 15 years ago? Um, that one that one. Yeah, well, there are dude That one had they came out with ocarina of time for that one also that you could play handheld Yeah, which was pretty cool, but they came out with Three yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that one of the one I'm thinking of though is called a link between worlds Which is basically it's basically the same map Um as a list of the past But it's like the same story and then like the dark world and every there are there are significant differences Which pretty much the same map and then I did I win waker? I love win waker. A lot of people were a big fan of win waker because of the art and like the boat But I like is my number one is it when waker is my number one. So why? I also grew up on the 90s and I had a sticker. I didn't have a 64 I really went from sugar hunt for the xbox. So okay, I skipped flat. I never had an xbox Yeah, so my My or uncle on my mom's side got us an xbox for christmas in like 2001 So that xbox. I had halo comment evolved SEGA GT 2002 and just a real future and that started my like video game below up pretty much But it was too good to them for it that it was my dad's Um, I remember playing linked to the past all the time It's funny is Uh, I actually have never I didn't beat thing to the past. I told him it's an adult Beat, I had it as a kid and I would always get to the part to where you have to get one of the crystals Uh, because you get to three pendants and then I think it's like a seven crystals after the seven crystals. Yep. Yep um There's the crystal to get in the dark world in the village kakuriko village to go into it you had to go to like the The compass in the compass in town square And you pull on it and it would be a door that you could go in. I never figured that out as a kid I had never figured out you're supposed to pull on that. Um, what's funny is Uh, I grew up Mormon as we had missionaries or house all the time Missionaries are supposed to like play a bit of games like watch tv and stuff so they come to our house for uh family meeting or weekly meeting and just play our superintendent into and uh, that's awesome And one of them was an avid like Zelda lover And I remember it had been like years and I had never like figured that out. You watch him beat it He did it. He'll just like casually walked up open it and then went down. I was like, what? Like when that comes out of your ear. Yeah, I was like, it's gotta be the bright religion He just casually figured that out. God let him. Oh my gosh. Wow Wow, how do I sign up? Thanks brother Windweaker is my number one because um Well, I love the art style to me. It's like tradition. It's almost like traditional japanese art style It's cartoony. It's like a tradition. It's kind of like the Japanese spirals when things exist. Yeah for the smoke. Yeah, like it just looks Japanese even their eyes are kind of Asian Well, what's actually uh, so a lot of like the bad guys have like squinty your eyes. I'm good If they have squinty eyes And it was the blindfolded with floss. It was done on purpose by like the design team Isn't uh in an interview. They said they made like all the hero characters have really big eyes So they they're making sense. They're making fun of americans. It was a way to make fun of americans Oh guys. Nice. So that's why link has giant eyes. It's all that has giant eyes Yeah, all of the good characters have giant eyes It's just it's a non to meeting full of americans for having big eyes I didn't know that that's kind of funny. And it's in those goodies. You like that though. Yeah um, but yeah Uh wind waker. I just love it. It's like Actually like open world like it's huge map Every square has like a different island and every island can be like explored and all type of stuff. I just love it it it's Uh the dungeons to me are the best. They're very well thought out like they're just great um My number two would probably be awkward at a time then link to the past And then and have you have you played breath of the wild or two? Yes Okay, so I was that the reason I asked this question because we talked about this before in like some conversations Yeah, um to me Breath of the wild and choose the kingdom are great video games But they're not the cell of the games Mm That makes sense. So like hit in in a reason The reason why so to me like for breath of the wild Open world. You do play as like you're saving high rule. He has all the elements of the zilter game But it has no dungeons It's actually very like Baron if you think about like I there's a lot of stuff Like when you go around the like you could run around and breath in the wild for like ever and like dude Really nothing. I guess it's just reasons why I love that game so much actually So that's a thing like people I enjoyed the game. Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great game I just don't think it's a great Zelda game That's and tears in the kingdom is better Because it actually has like some dungeons kind of it's more like just like traversing like the underground right that it's not traditional dungeons. Yeah, I'm like the aerial thing I'm hoping I really wish so the next solo game. It can be open world It can have like crafting elements. I can have all that type of stuff. It can have like that. I want like I want an adult solo game. I guess it's what I'm looking for because like a lot of solo games and works It's mean the tail of the more ports kids and stuff I want like a twilight princess 2.0. That's what I want because twilight princess was gritty. It was dark I'm sure you do when you ask the question totally forgot about twilight princess, but that's a great game It is it's gritty dark Like you watch like kakuriko village here people get lit on fire Like that's insane for a nintendo game. What did you like? What? Um, I want another dark green like adult Very medieval fiend selding it as really intense in-depth diamonds out They could totally do it man. Yeah, because like ocarina of time has like real dungeons Obviously everybody bitches about the water temple. You know what I mean? It's not that hard Um It isn't it was when I was fucking 12 though. Yeah, um But yeah, no The one that I like I didn't really care for as much was skyward sword Like that was just okay. I didn't care for skyward sword that much even though that's like really the the origin stories there for um Breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom He has came from but he's like you're really trying to get to yeah But no that one that one I didn't really like as much Um, and I actually never played it. Uh, I never owned skyward sword. I had a buddy who said lived in the dorms with me It was like a wee. I never had a wee. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and that's the only place I ever played it and sat in his room and played it with him uh for hours, you know what I mean? But like um I had and I also had twilight princess on game cube. I didn't have twilight princess on the wee Yeah, and I'm actually glad because my wife has played has twilight princess on on the wee And i watched her play it. Mm-hmm. I don't like it. I'm like, I'm glad I played this on uh game cube on the controller like that Because I don't know it just feels so better, you know, uh to me anyway Zelda urna's all the link in every single wasn't zilva except twilight princess for the wee Uh-hmm breath of the wild and tears the kingdom. He's left-handed Oh He uses a sword with his left hand and a shield that was right And twilight princess on the game cube. He's self-handed He's just a sword on the left hand For the wee they just took everything and Flipped it 180 degrees. That's true. Yeah, the link is left-handed Mm-hmm It just flinted 180 degrees and the reason why is because the because they knew americans That the wee would be predominantly right-handed So they switched it so you hold the sword with twilight princess with your right hand Wow, I didn't really notice that. Yeah, I just looked at it. It's true Yeah So breath of the wild tears the kingdom he holds a sword before a hand Because just about to say that yeah because those games are actually sold to like um americans Yeah, it says this says right here that uh link is right-handed and tears the kingdom as he has been since skyward sword So apparently skyward sword forward breath of the wild. He's right-handed because Skyward never realized that you can use a weemote as well And it's because you have to be like most americans ever handed Oh We're opposite. You know what the heck? Yeah. Yeah, I never even thought about that. That's interesting If you look at like twilight princess game cube and twilight princess wee It's literally we're first Every link that if you're going for a dungeon on a game cube, you're supposed to do the right on the wee going to doesn't go to the left It's all heart percent reversed because they just instead of making Entirely new animations with their current thing for a different hand They just went let's just mirror the whole math and we'll call it a day Yeah, well, I'm gonna ask you I'm gonna I have a spin-off question to this. Okay I'm pretty sure I saw something that's confirmed that they're they're trying to make a live-action Zelda movie Right. Yeah, and so I'm I'm like sort of nervous for them doing it You know what I mean? Because it's gonna need to be like somebody to the caliber of like Peter Jackson or something like that to do it Well, I think but how do you think? Because they're gonna have to cast it so fucking perfectly Like I'm I'm gonna say this too. If they try to dei the fuck out of this this casting I'm gonna be pissed. Right like it needs to be it needs to be yeah something, right? I don't I don't know like they need it needs to be true to gameplay. It's not. Oh, it's just a game It doesn't matter like no it fucking matters. Okay to all of us who've grown up playing this game in fucking matters, right? Um, but how are they gonna get past link not talking? Like is it gonna be like because you've seen witcher, right? Like Geralt is very stoic He does talk but he is a lot of body language and You know what I mean? Like are they gonna have to do link in like a Geralt style? Just not as fucking serious or like what like what are they gonna have to be he's got like right? He's got to like go like scream stuff and go Make make him do more make him goofy So he has to be a little goofy because he is Makes a weird get so he's got to be a little goofy and you could you could spin it to where Take a he can talk to like characters right but make most of the movie where he's on his own And give him Navi Like make give him Navi from every time and Navi is the monologue and the thought process That would make him talk way less. I agree. I agree with that. And that's why I have so Um, my wife and I I'm not gonna say her name, but you know what I'm talking about. Um, we talk about this pretty often like Would they do a completely total separate of all of the storylines movie? Just to not piss anybody off by not doing a certain game the right way Or do they take a game and do it? You know, I mean like you could do that too, but I think it would get real weird But you know because some bees gonna be like oh well that wouldn't make sense with this storyline above a lot You know what I mean? It doesn't have to be Navi. It could be something they create just for the movie, but he needs There needs to be a narrative source. That's not link because like so something similar like what you said have one Was it similar to like what you said is why her and I we all we say like I say like I think they should do ocarina of time And she's like she wants because her favorite game is twilight princess. She's like they should do twilight princess So like obviously twilight princess menna right and then ocarina of time and you know they have has Navi, you know what i mean? Um, but I don't know part. I would rather see ocarina of time Um because then you could even have you can even make it two movies Right because obviously you have first half of ocarina of time with young link And you have the second half of ocarina of time with adult link after you wakes up You know what I mean? Well, but if they if they did ocarina of time because you then have time paradoxes they technically can make any other zellum would be ever And just claim that this rule was created because of him going back and forth between time and messing up kind of lines I think the whole timeline of zellum works is yeah, it's not linear at all No, well, it's basically zellum but it's not linear And then it hits ocarina time and branches of it's like seven different lines How do you fit phantom hourglass into the tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild? You know your tracks. It's a Zelda game where you're just going around making train routes Exactly. Yeah Exactly Because like majora's mask is in the same line as ocarina type, you know what I mean? Yeah, so majora's mask is Uh, if adult link failed Basically and then and then uh wind wager is diff kid link failed. It's like there's like different like Because there's like actual lore that nintendo has said there's like No, nintendo actually came out a couple years ago with a set direct timeline Okay, so breath of the wild is actually a prequel It's not it's it's actually before ocarina time But ocarina time is the split so actually and we should say that right? That's like something if you've never played zellda and you've went under a rock that link is called the hero of time for a reason Yeah, I think chat was the time often Yeah, it's not just in ocarina time or this other games we lose around Yeah, that's the common theme of zellda. Yeah, it's constantly messing with the plan minds. Hey, never get it right It's kind of the perfect way to keep making video games too when you think about it. Yeah, because it's gonna have to really matter Yeah, this exists because The butterfly fleck from this game. Yeah, he got a rock once in this one It feels like his knee right? Yeah, whatever Exactly They they're gonna have to cast the absolute fuck out of this game and I think they could get away with having link like people are gonna forgive like link talking like forgive I say, right Um, but I do think it's a good way around it by having navi or mina or something like that be the Link is to be like a goku esque character And what I mean by that is goku is very weird and like um Except in stressful Like the dragon ball is even he's sucked. Yeah, I'm not talking about sir I was you know, I'm talking about like his anime version because yeah, like the actual goku version um He's really goofy and dorky Consoling in and mischief and just doing weird stuff But when it comes down, it's like gotta save the world got to see the universe got to save this He's very serious and very methodical. They can do that with link can you be like He's you know runs into the shop and throws a bunch of potted where get a couple rubies And he's just being a goofball and then walks out and has to fight Something serious and during that time He's like the manliest man you've ever seen and then afterwards he can't get his sword back in his sheath because he's like freaking out like All right very musally Like split person out of linking away to where men in crisis is happening He's canna reuse and then he's gonna know john wick and then we're gonna The crisis is gone. He's donkey from shrek or something Right. Yeah, right Yeah, man. They're gonna have to make it a Um, that big as well like if it's an hour and a half movie I'm gonna be pissed like if I see immediately that the runtime is in 95 minutes No, it needs to be like no partner Yeah, it needs to be there it needs to be lord of the rings level in lakes like Again reiterate my point if I see the runtime is 95 minutes And there's not a plan for like a sequel. I'm like you I know I already know that seeing his movie that you guys fucked up There's no fucking way you did this movie in an hour and a half. No fucking way So Yeah, and i'll get like and this is probably what they've held off from doing a zelda movie for so long Because if people like me that are gonna be absolutely incensed when they fuck it up. Yeah, it's like it's like the halo show halo show If you've never played halo and you Don't care about actual halo story and more And you don't like the halo show because that's the first time you'll see it But if you are a diehard halo fan you watch the halo show it is painful to watch It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's what i'm afraid of Is the fallout show doesn't have an issue, but it's different The fallout show never like all the following games of their own individual stories So you could have made the fallout show anything as long as it just exists to the net world It'd be good because you're not having to follow like an overarching plot or a story Whereas like halo is a very set story and if you try to change it it pisses people off And I think zelda They could technically just make their own story with elements from others and they'd be okay Because it doesn't need to be any specific game Because zelda is kind of a fallout where every game is its own story. Yeah, so yeah Well, I just love that. I really sincerely as long as nintendo keeps making zelda games I will keep buying into no consoles. I will keep buying Yeah, like if if I will be the old man in a nursing home playing the new zelda game. Yeah, and we both Yeah, sure. Yeah, we ski. Yeah, you know something exactly the The current zelda game is a breath of all and here's the kingdom that won't be used anymore The uh the creators of the came around said that the next elder will not be that type. So don't expect it Yeah, I saw that I hope it would be cool clones that don't expect any elements from it It's gonna be entirely different. So they have said I hope they keep the open world style and the map quality You know, I think because I think the map is wonderful But it would be cool to see them do another game in the vena bakari of time That does have the traditional dungeons with the puzzles and all of that again I think because the because I honestly would be I would be thrilled if they were like, hey, we've completely updated all the graphics for ocarina of time and are doing a Release of ocarina of time with two to the kingdom Graphics, I'd be like we're not gonna like just hd. We're gonna like remake the whole right and stuff Make it more in depth. Dude. I would buy that on heartbeat Like if they if they came out with that and like the inner room between Yeah, yeah, take my take my money Yeah, yeah, if they did if they came out with that and the intern between like here's the king of men a new zaldy game I would be ecstatic because I would love to play that game Nintendo usually uses Zelda to launch little consoles. What was every new Nintendo console launches with a zaldy game Just usually how they pretty common Um Words very close. I know I know where the wild was a little Late because it was delayed. So the switch actually came out for grizzland by a couple of months Um But the new Nintendo console is like two to four years out projected. We don't know for sure And I could see them having enough time to make a good Zelda game especially they're making it before they released here's the kingdom Which I don't see why they wouldn't I'm assuming Nintendo probably used for cannot two to three Zelda games had a time I don't think it's like one and then Joe you know, I could see that being a reality even if it's just the architecture, you know, getting things. Yeah, no, absolutely Did you see the bones the breath of the wild or two to the kingdom? And just yeah change it like you don't have to remake a whole new game and it could still be completely different So yeah, I'm sure they pour it over a lot of that stuff. Yeah, yeah That will give them a Zelda a two four years and a little watching the consoles, but I will buy that one too All right My question for you What what is your most controversial take on a social or political issue and then defend it Oh total gear shift, I'm gonna go with Uh Crime and punishments So no way Almost like pretty much like if you commit like felonies pretty much like I'm telling my severe crimes. So like Rain murder. Yeah Child crimes murder often stuff in today's today's america if you commit any felony and are convicted of it then you lose like It's like half in your constitutional rights like a lot of them just aren't they don't exist to you anymore and I think that's wrong so I believe That once either your time is served or your fine is paid like your debt to society is over And you should no longer be held back by your crimes So like if you committed like I would say any of them you commit murder and you set this in general for 25 years And in the 25 years You're good. You come out. I'm gonna say you come out early because you were like on a good good con or someone say whatever Yeah, that happens. Yeah, and you you come out You should ever go buy a gun that day I stand by that their debt to society should be like, you know, like a cool cooling off period maybe Oh, the co-op period was the 1825 years or the 17th of the time you're in jail But for that to work. I also think our whole like jail system. We need to be reformed probably right now It's all just like yeah, that's the problem too, and then like Just like just not actual rehabilitation. Sorry about Asian Um, we're like teaching them to be better than what they were what causing to get in there. Yeah, no, I but it's like If you reoffend as a felon Then your next punishment should be death or life lifetime Lifetime imprisonment so then you're right anyways, yeah Because like so I mean I have very serious ideals on certain like crimes. Like I think if you ever rape anyone It was like he think I gotta be careful the way say this because you could You could just be too drunk people having sex and then the next day someone wakes up And the autumn what that? Is that rape? Yes, but it's like but you're both if you're both drunk Then technically you both can't consent. So those are like offsetting fouls. Yeah, so it's okay first down. Yeah, I keep riffy I'm fiber penalty No, no offsetting good all these yeah, you're both drunk technically you both can't consent, right? But you both did yeah I have a funny thing about an interesting idea about that too about consent and drunk too It becomes driving if you're drunk you can't consent to like having sex Then how can you consent to driving and then did you what? If you're not held to your decisions while drunk for certain things now they're in a conundrum There's that not be held for the decision you make when you're drunk for all things That's an interesting question because you're right like if you're if if you're too Inebriated where you're not in your right mind to consent to a sexual act I guess the difference would be that you are Because you could argue this too what i was going to say is you're putting somebody's life in danger Other people's lives in danger by getting behind the wheel of your vehicle, right? Um, but if you are wrong Yeah but if you are Because like let's say this like you're not drunk but the girl you're sleeping with is drunk like you're wrong That's you know, I mean she can't consent, right? Both drunk yeah, that's what that to me It's like you're both drunk if you're both drunk then that's that is what it is You both have drunk stupid sex and you can regret all you want, but there was no crime committed in my opinion, right? um Anyway But I get what you're trying to say that like if you can't hold me accountable for something Well, like consider this too, right? If you can't hold me accountable for something. I did what I was drunk How many times have you gone like or you're at work, right? And you can't get a statement from somebody because they're too drunk to provide a statement, right? That's a thing too. Like this person is so drunk. I cannot legally collect a statement from them on whatever incident and and have them Say you know to me like oh, yeah, I remember consenting to give you a statement without a lawyer present or whatever, right? That's an interesting question You know, maybe it's just the fact that it is just so dangerous Getting behind the wheel of your car and getting on the highway and driving drunk that That's why it is But like, you know How many dumb things have you done that weren't dew eyes while you were drunk and you're like And the next morning you're like, man, I was dumb Even if even if the thing you regret doing was just getting that classroom that you have to have a home to pay over is this let's if you are super drunk you're completely plastering neighborhood and You think you're in the bathroom And start peeing but actually you're in front of five-year-olds Yeah, punk You would get arrested for like predatory and like Axanins minor sexual like and then like english. Yeah, you could have to register on the sesfenders list your health and that Because even though you were drunk So I feel like if you had a really good like a good enough lawyer that you could Legal ease your way out of having to register as a sex offender You know what I mean for something like that But I mean, yeah, I don't know That's it's only a lot of people Yeah, it would be a lot of people. I'm like, man, that's too fine of a line Especially with a lot of the fucking shit that's going on Now because I feel like those people are way more Embolden and embrazon than they were even fucking five years ago Like I just I don't know if it's just like the if it's social media and it being such a prominent thing that it seems Like it happens more often or that people are more out in the open about it But I don't really think it's I think it could be partially that but I also think that there's more advocates for that than there were before as well Can't believe you have an advocate for something like that. But you know, anyway, yeah, so I'll say this I think my heart takes on like the thing I I guess that little that rare is just It's a lot of very specific things, but it's just like I think crime and punishment doesn't work Today like the way we run it. It's just for a long time. Like I think victimless crime should not be a thing If there is no victim then there was no crime involved like well, let me ask you this is selling drugs a victimless crime Okay, so I don't think any drug should be able to So you feel like any like heroin fentanyl all of that should be legal, but that you are an adult You should have the ability and the right to put anything in your body or do anything with your mind. It is your body Okay, you want to shoot heroin cool Okay, so that's your take so so in your mind then selling drugs is a victimless crime because it is it wouldn't be a crime in your Like world. I guess you'd say yeah, but that also it's two consenting adults I bought this from you and I intend on using it and there was an exchange of money And we shook on it and now we're good. It's a business transaction essentially. Okay. I mean like I see it because it's all Taking the heroin Yeah, they're gonna get in data tree immediately and then they're always gonna want it, but they knew that going into it It's a thing they chose to do I'm getting but but what about this right getting behind the wheel of a car High on heroin would that be a crime To you If there's no victim involved, no Don't hate me. So if you if you drove if you drove high on heroin and you made it home That was fine. Mm-hmm Okay, but if you Destroy somebody's property because you side swipe six vehicles. Mm-hmm driving down the neighborhood or you you know god forbid Yeah, that's a victim that would be That's a problem So putting somebody at risk isn't a crime big even if that's basically because you're putting Those in that risk Like they chose to be in that risk then it's not as a victim It's a victim of strife because yeah, there's a lot of arguments in that in that because like You know the I guess you're now Why are you doing like probability? You know because the intent this is like the whole gun argument, right? You driving while driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence. Those are both illegal things but they happen every day You know crime it's like that joke like make crime illegal again You know like well, it's everything that's a crime is illegal and it still doesn't prevent it It probably does prevent right like I know for a fact like I'm not done shit Like DUI because I know it's illegal and I don't want something bad to happen to me or somebody else, right? Because they're a moral consciousness person. Yeah Right, but at the same time like Um, I guess it's like a it is it's a way to prevent try and prevent that crime But basically try to prevent loss or injury and loss of life And loss or injury by making it so they can't do the thing that potentially cause it but So you think that that would go up like do you eyes would go up? No, so and the reason why I'm using marijuana as an example Washington state Their biggest like opponent to legalize in marijuana is they were afraid that if the immediate just As easy to get his alcohol or anything else, right? You know, I'm serious pretty much um at Um More like de wise would happen because people will not realize That marijuana stays in the system longer like if you drink one deer in an hour, you should be good, right? But remember why Depending on what it is it teaches a whole bunch of like variables you could take one hit and be good in 20 minutes Or you could take one hit and be down for the count for like six hours So like there's there's so many different variables there and washing state was really worried that if they just Open the floodgates. You're 18 or older or I think it's 20 like we're 21 or older You can smoke weed as long as it's like you're in your residence. We have a camping public place That's can't be like that. It has been your own residence. Um They were afraid though that people with the de wise for marijuana would go up de wise overall even for alcoholism actually went down so Um, is that the same everywhere? I just only know washing states information because that's the state that i'm from i don't know any other other states, but every state is legalized and has it like I said I want to uh Stop this now because I want to make way so much money off taxes with it, but the um I think if you were less strict on things And got rid of victims crimes. I don't think crime would go up There would be a spike because it'd be the crazies at first like look at me who Thank After because like when you were in when you were in like high school or when weed was illegal More people probably didn't mean because it was the crazy thing to do But once it became legal, I'm one of the best and less people actually used to drug it because now it's just All right, I can just get high whenever I want. Yeah So that argument I make often for Europeans because beer and alcohol is a more common thing throughout some of these life so that like you don't have You know american college students they go to school and they get shit faced because they can finally have alcohol Yes, but it's like a common thing like there are Drunk stupid germans or french people or whatever, but like it's not like this forbidden thing you're attaining to but here I found an article. This is from the national institute of health right dot gov So there is this is from from uh 2022. This is uh They found an increase in driving under the influence over time with a larger increase occurring in states that enacted medical cannabis laws during this time period between 1991 and 2013 Comparison states that enacted these laws before or after the analytic time period So basically seeing this done up data before or after but so there was an increase in those states with american the medical marijuana usage Because that's like how it started. I guess yeah, I know washington They had it. I think washington blew was it 2016 or two Again, we're done it But I know that there's did spike And then it dropped off like a couple years later like you went below what it was beforehand 2012 it says was when washington legalized and it legalized it for medicinal use in 98 Yeah Yeah, it's obviously test This gets spiked if if tomorrow You said murders legal Like oh, yeah, it's just extreme There's gonna be dudes like fuck my boss and that boss is dead like you have the energy chaos, but eventually people will be like All right guys Do you think do we be like a no doubt a period of time where we wrap up and then it would level out? It's like the purge If you just have like one day or one week, we're just Get out of your system. I think that I also have to say too like I don't know I didn't read I'm Just like full disclosure didn't sit here and read this entire NIH article You know, so it could just be saying yeah, you know dey's went up because now we're counting um You know cannabis dey's as dey's so the dey's some alcohol, right? And then we threw the the weed dey's on top of that. So of course the number when I don't know how they broke that down so Washington state you can get an edui and the electronic driving on the influence The hell is that so play fast if you're yes. Hi. I'm second. Uh, you're on your phone a veteran Oh cell phone you see why yeah So that's uh be calling it a dey So it's because they The reason why they made it more strict because they're people still aren't using their phone So now they made it equal to the same levels if you got a dey so your insurance rates go way high Even if there's your license like if you get caught with it or if it's the reason why you kill somebody with your car If you get caught on your phone E. D. Y. I think that's excessive as fuck to be honest State dey also includes food Like you are eating while I get it that is considered distracted driving If you're eating a cheeseburger or you're doing your makeup in the fucking review mirror or you're on your phone I agree right and I do think you should be taken it for driving and texting There's been so many times where I've like been behind something on the highway and they're all over their lane And I go around them and they're fucking like they're doing this You know what I know it's what's funny about that. It's like You can't have this in your hand you can have a phone in your hand right while you're driving Um, but all cars today usually have like apple car play or like some type of connectivity to your dash But like is it so yet hands-free, but I promise you like 99 Percent of people are not using the like serie function to do anything. They're just Seeing this stuff On their screen while still driving, but there's nothing that says you can't do that Yeah, I've had I've had this discussion before too Like if I'm looking over at the center console to change a song and like maybe I skip a song because my Playlists is on random and I don't like the next couple of songs And I'm just skipping and like yeah, they have like some of the steering rules have the skip song function too. Yeah, but like If you're going through the spotify on your phone versus on your and on the console like what really is the difference? Same thing. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree I do think that eating while driving is not the same as being on your phone while driving Because I can I can lift up my fucking cheeseburger And wood to the road and eat it like am I as effective as I would be without a cheeseburger in my hand If suddenly started happening and you take control my car. No, you know me But I'm also not doing this. You know what I mean? So I don't think it should be the same level as it do why now if you get caught like on a traffic camera Running somebody down While you're on your phone like yeah, you fucking You know, I think tell somebody Yeah, well do that. I swear to god, man I can't tell you like in Germany when I live there to speed cameras They make so much money off of those fucking things. It's crazy. You don't even you'll never see a cop You don't get pulled over speed. You gotta fucking take it in the mail in your photo like this in your hand on a fucking wheel in spoke in Spokane there was a Right by the house I lived Spinning it was like 30 there. They put up a camera for like a three block thing And uh, it's because there's a lot of crashes and people getting hit there. So they put a speeding camera there um, but the speeding camera It kicked it takes a picture of you as you're driving away. It doesn't take the picture of you as you're coming in and uh, I got I got hit right and said, you know, my car was speeding through the area and uh, uh, I was like, you know what? I can't prove I was driving There's no culture of me operating in the vehicle. Is it like a vehicle? Yes, but am I the one driving it who's to say? So I uh, I fought it and so I went to court and everything. I still don't judge and uh, I just straight up told him. I was like, it's the burden of the proof of the state It's the burden of the state to prove That I actually broke the law. Yes, it is my vehicle Yes, it was speeding in this area. I'm not just disputing that both of those are true But you have not proved that I was the one driving And then the judge asked me, well, were you driving? And I said, well, I can't still incriminate And I played the fifth And there's no office you're present to prove I was driving Mm-hmm, but the ticket was thrown out The judge said, all right, you threw it out. I mean, that's good for you. That's a stupid way to handle business for there I mean, you know what I mean? Like if that's their goal. Yeah, so It was hilarious. I was like, oh, that was easy win So if they don't have like a picture of you doing it, but but even then even then like So the uh those cameras most of them they go to like a hub in like, Arizona It's like usually it's like a random like hub in Arizona And there's an officer there in Arizona who is just like officers like hundreds of them And they just get these pictures And they say just verify you have that car speeding. Yes, sure. Well, it's not like an anomaly And then they sign a ticket and then they get sent to you So the most of these tickets that you give from these traffic cameras aren't even from officers in your state They're from like some other state. So I've never even got a traffic camera ticket here in the u.s I've only ever gotten them when I was in Europe. Uh, often within the u.s So if you ever get one uh One you as the accused have the right to face your accuser So You should always ask for the officer who wrote you the ticket to be present And that officer in Arizona is not going to get on for complaint and fly to you in More than counting on speed ticket or maybe like a $400 speed ticket. Yeah, yeah for for a speeding ticket And then you could easily be like, well, the author's not here to prove that I was speed And who's to say it was me anyways like well, I'll say this that um They're being key on you not fighting it. They're making any annoying out of it and that you just Sign pay move on with your day A couple times that I well it's more than a couple times But the times that I went to court for tickets that I wrote when I was in Montana There were other people that showed up that had tickets written for them And if the officer did not show up in court, but they did I saw the judge both throw out the ticket I think or if the person came in and said they wanted to plead guilty The judge waved like the court processing fee and all they had to pay was the actual fine amount So their ticket went from like, I don't remember like 65 down to 40 or something like that You know what I mean? And um So like it is always better to just go to court for a couple hours and wait for your turn to get called And then you know, and even then I've seen people too that like yeah The officer the issuing officer was there that they appeared in court and they admitted to their guilt That the judge was like Thanks for being here and waived the court processing fee and then they just had to pay the fine amount It is always better to just go In my experience Or higher traffic Traffic lawyer just to fight I guess it'd be fat fucking serious. Yeah Yeah, if they say i'm a serious threat, but even like Usually they get like those get thrown out too or like it gets way lower because like the amount of money You're gonna spend on a traffic lawyer. You're gonna save and your insurance rates not going up That's a good point So It's like cool. Yeah, pay that $100 ticket But your insurance rates gonna go up And you're gonna be paying after a while. It's more than a dollar ticket. It's gonna become a thousand Yeah, so the thousand dollar over time citation over time. So yeah, you're right That's $400 for that quick lawyer Might save you a couple grand right I was gonna say I'll say um that my most I guess I feel like is More controversial take on something is um the abortion argument So i'm gonna say something about that So i'm gonna say this right that it's like the the one time I agree with hillary clinton that abortion should be safe legal and rare Right and then and I say rare because there should be certain instances where in my mind, right? I don't think I don't think abortion is okay Right, and I would never ask somebody to go get one Right, but that if you are a rate or your child is the product of incest Or the in the process of carrying the baby to term your life is at risk Or your child will not be viable when it's born like those are things. I look at and say that is that's that is Allowed right, it's okay to do that because of those things, right? but um I will say this that If if men truly have no say and whether or not a woman gets an abortion right because like they are the ones carrying it to term Then if I can't say to you will know you cap you have to carry this baby full term Because I want to be a dad even if you're not ready to be a mom And a man should have just as much right to say cool If you want to be a mom and carry this baby to full term That I should have the right to say well I want nothing to do with it and you should have no saying that whatsoever And I legally sign away in my rights and I'm not saying I would ever do that I'm not even saying that's a good thing. I'm just saying that's fucking fair Yeah, I'm saying that's fair if we're if we're going down this path then then men Should have some sort of protection as well in that regard Because if I can't make you a mother you can't force me to be a father by forcing me into that And then going to get a job and providing for you and all these other things Because there are men and I've seen this is probably a lot less men than women, right? Like that Why would rather you just give birth to the baby and I'll take the child or raise it and you don't have to be a mother, right? So, but that's my like controversial take because I've said it before And a lot of people get bad or shape about it, but that If I can't if I don't have a saying you having your abortion And it's your right to go do that and I don't think it's right. I'll say that Right that no if that's your decision and solely your decision to go have an abortion And I don't have a saying it then you should not have it say and if I decide that I don't want to be I don't want to participate in this anymore There's a time frame like I don't think the day before the baby's born the father can say I'm out. I think it needs to be a stress because you can't have a you can't have a 39 week abortion. You can't do that. You know what I mean? No, I agree with you. There should be a certain time limit for you to say like I made my decision And I went to the courthouse and signed on my documents and you know Whatever so and and I would say like I guess I have kind of a conference to take an abortion too, but But when it comes to having just recently gone through Pragman's that I was pregnant. We're going through like the pregnancy I'm sure the pregnancy stuff and then you know I'm in her daughter with one of the most with my life at every appointment was good They're always here on the same stuff and seeing that we knew our child's Like full like health like if she was gonna have any genetic defects any like birth defects any like brain issues like autism All of that stuff. We knew her gender We knew if They knew her like blood like we knew all of this I like week four Okay. Yeah, that's how good like Um modern medicine is today by like week four so a third of the first trimester We already knew all the information. I think that should be the cutoff for abortion I think if you're like It's not like whatever your reason is I can't afford a baby. I'm not ready to be a parent I don't think that uh, I want to go through this Whatever it is the cutoff to terminate that child Should be like a month maybe two months into the pregnancy. I don't think it should be any later than that And After that point now you have to give birth and if you don't want to get after that then it goes up for adoption like But there should be no second trimester abortions. There should be no third trimester abortions for sure like If you as an adult add the time to sit down have sex knowing the consequences to potentially make a baby and not practice safe sex Maybe you should have the time and the adultness to sit down and decide Relatively or not if you want to be a parent. I think that's not Yeah, and you can have all kinds of arguments about well is a 16 year old really going to be a responsible parent more than likely no But at the same point that's why you have you should have Education in school teaching you that the result of having sex could very well be a child right and it's one of those things where That the option there is Adoption you know what I mean to um, but yeah, I didn't I agree with you If there's a there should be a cutoff I guess for that decision for a guy to be like, yeah All right. Well, I I want to I want to be able to get out of this and you don't have enough whether I say or no So if I don't have an option and keeping making you keep a baby Which I totally understand that because you know, I can't force somebody to do something with their body Right in his body autonomy issue there obviously and that's fair, right? and you don't have a right to force me to Work more and dedicate my life to something if I don't want to so yeah, that's the slavery That's the exact opposite of rights If something requires somebody's somebody else's labor for you on your behalf It is not a right which is why again like also medical care is not a right at all Because somebody goes to school to learn how to be a doctor. They don't owe you a fucking thing Yeah, it is not a right that you have over somebody else or a medical practitioner Perform care on you just because you believe is it a right? It is actually is a very convoluted way of slavery Your boy. Yes, for sure. You labor you owe me this because I have I need a liver transplant or I need whatever x y and z. Yeah, absolutely If it requires somebody else is really really expensive for some freaking reason is our health care system broken Yes, our insurance companies a fucking scam. Yes. Yes, but a doctor doesn't owe you anything And they're i'm sure there are then there are plenty of doctors who go and do free work and other in places that Are have the opportunity doctors without borders? You know like things like that these these groups of people because they're good people and they take the hypocratic oath to help anybody a lot at the same time they'll owe you i surgery or there's fucking deep surgery Yeah, I'll do it for you. This is the emergency Health care act is put in effect by wrong rating if you have a serious um health issue that's detrimental to your wife lin or eyesight. It's just covered by the u.s.com While people don't know that you have to fill out a bunch of forms to get it approved It's like if you have no insurance and you have no money and a dude ran away stabs you on a street and you're gonna die That care is actually free So I didn't know that yep, it's the emergency Ask for the right forms at the hospital or something Yeah, you have to fill it out right and all of them doesn't obviously the hospital because it's a private entity's probably gonna like Not help you out. Well because they want to get their cash their money or whatever but yeah the You if people didn't want research on the rights they actually have they would realize that they're fighting for things that are Yeah, I get your quality Well, it's like all this shit. You know, they see these fucking college kids at columbia university I saw I see a couple of clips now where they're asking College kids. Why are you protesting or like I saw one where she was just yelling fascist at somebody And she came to tell you why that person was fascist or what fascism was exactly good to be there Right, it's it. You don't even know what the fuck you're doing You could be it's like that fucking that joke you see where that guy is walking around with a petition Asking people to sign to ban dihydrogen monoxide Right, it's like it's so fucking retarded. You know, oh, yeah, it's impesticized and we really want to keep that Oxide. Yeah, and they're like, oh my god. Yeah, of course. It's Terrible is like it is. It's a main ingredient impesticides like oh man. Absolutely your body Let me just go ahead and ban this. You know what I mean? Like you don't fucking know, you know, and it in it goes back to We like you and I we do we bring up stoicism quotes sometimes like from like smartka serilla is this thing It's okay to not have an opinion on this. You don't have to go And like the one I saw too where they were interviewing this girl and they were like, well, why are you here? And she's like, I really don't know. I just saw that we just saw something that said New York's in your university students need help protesting And and you see these pictures too of all these these protesters camping out of these camps They've all got the same fucking green tent like Somebody like the high school walkout things and mostly because there's our stakes. I don't want to be in school through Yeah, I saw Right after maybe like a week or two after um the hamas attack in israel There was a video. I think I may have sent it to you on instagram when you were still on instagram of some kids in a high school in san francisco And they were just walking in a line running up and down the or walking up and down the hallways yelling From the rivers to the sea palestine will be free and they were just yelling it Like okay. Cool. Break down the geopolitical issues going on in that region. Mm-hmm. No can't do it You saw something you got a kafia off a fucking amazon for $12 That's okay. Yeah, okay. You feel important now running up down the hallway yelling that Okay, like that's it. That's it. What you are doing make you feel good. Where does it actually do good? Usually there it is Usually if it's actually doing good. It took a lot out of you and I didn't feel that good And I'll say this man is totally your right to protest It is totally your right to protest. It's also your right to not be informed and be an uninformed dumbass out of protest Everybody is right. I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about and I've said something and I'm just like oh I was wrong and that happens but at the same time like Maybe fucking learn about what you're going out there and protesting. You might learn something Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I as a still serving active member for the United States on forces Will continue to fight and essentially die for your right to your wrong opinion Exactly. Yeah, that's it You're good for you for exercising your right to protest You know, but maybe do it and I respect you a lot more If you're out protesting and you can give me the issues you have with it with something and why you're protesting Fair enough. Unless you're like if I'm like, why are you protesting? You're like, I really have no fucking idea And what the fuck do you do? I'm here because the guy with the megaphone told me to do here I'm here. Yeah, exactly right. The dark side has cookies. Do you know what I mean? It's a good joke That's why I'm here. Yeah, there was oreos that there was oreos in fucking falafel in the uh alastain camp I would also join the dark side. It's just got a favor. It looks sick Sure, dude. Like you look yeah. Awesome. That's true. Follow you. I got a stormtrooper for your suit. All right, send me to Every part of our businesses could be a final first got it They missed the shot on purpose Okay, that what it is. Yeah in episode four that could the tracking device on the on the millennium falcon They couldn't show them all before they left the death star They had to scare them into these and things that they're gaining away at the skin of their teeth so they could track them to hoth Well, but I mean there's a bunch of other footage in those movies of stormtroopers not being accurate at all It's usually parts where there is a reason why they would not need to kill that specific Group of minutes is you're following the main characters. Is it far? but like You're starting to like the general of the resistance the last Jedi move like there's a lot of very cheap characters here I'm willing to bet the higher ups of the empire or like you can't kill that person. I need them alive So every time. Oh, I'm sure you miss Okay, stormtroopers have better shots than that. I think apparently they have to be really in the first in episode four when they go to um when Ben Kenobi and Luke go back to the uh his like his parents out of center dead and laid wasted Ben says oh These shots are too accurate to your readers. It has to be like stormtroopers So you're telling people came in there and actually you murder these two like like maybe it was like like a point Blake, you know what I mean? Like maybe Even tuskin braiders can't hit you from three inches away currently. Give me the kit. I don't know You try to see Adam moccles this far off her face Just drop goggles, right? It's a beer goggle face. Yes I think it's your question. It is um So you've we've had conversations a little bit Personally about this Time in your life, but I'm curious about what was it like being homeless for a year in germany Mm. Good question. When how and why did that happen? Yeah Well, let's say this right. I wasn't completely homeless for a whole year, but I spent a good portion of time um Finding a way to not be home. Mm-hmm and um, like I I slept on um The couch in my flight office a few times Um, well more than a few times. Oh wait. I slept in my after duty Mm-hmm, but I was I had to do. Yeah. Yeah, okay, and um I slept in my car in the bx parking lot a few times Um, I had a few friends that let me sleep in their spare spare bedroom a few times and then eventually um my good friend Uh on my flight who basically started dating his girlfriend and was living in her apartment But he was still paying the rent at his apartment. Yeah Uh, let me let me pay was still covering his some of the place Let me live in his apartment while he wasn't living there And that I did for like two months I think until I was able to Basically find somebody willing to let me live say that yeah split level home Like basically like a town home, but like one was on the bottom and one was on the top Yeah, and I lived on the top and without a contract rented it from him for like 500 euro a month which is way cheap but while considering what the rent was uh, you know everywhere else, right? but the the reason why is because um, well this There there is not any sort of contingency plan when you're overseas as a military member And you're going through a situation in light of horse when your spouse doesn't want to give up their sofa status and move back to the United States And because of that when you're not living with them anymore. All of your oh, uh, your overseas housing allowance Goes to your spouse And so it essentially leads you with no money. It's like a regular like a calculator and it's very in the favor It's actually an army regulation and this is this you're you have zero choice in this Um, they get all that money and it leaves you with just your base pay To find a place to live and buy your own food and pay your bills, right? And it's not a lot your base pay is not a lot of money, especially in the country whose currency is stronger than the dollar And so basically I had nowhere to live All of my assistance housing assistance was going to somebody else and um Yeah, I mean it fucking sucked. I I really cannot tell you like there were times where like I went out to my car Could I go in real car because you were very right? Well, yeah, there's all these different things and there's no and I even went to the shirt. I had the first time At the time that's most like can I is there like a temporary? I can just stay in a dorm room for a certain period of time And my squadron was completely and totally aware that I had nothing I had nothing And um You know there were times where I went out to my car and sat in my car And waited until all of the rest of my swings flight went home like left, right? And I was normally like one of the one or two last people that like maybe the master sergeant would hang around a little longer But I would go and punch the code into my fucking flight office and then sleep on the futon there because it was more It was just like the end of the year. So it's like fall In Germany fall and winter is cold And um really showering shaped me. I'm like the only is Jim I was That's what I would do And because there's nothing there's no contingency plan and people who knew what I was going through And knew what was happening and basically the shirt was like all I can do is give you a dorm room for 72 hours And I was like, well, fuck that like that's more. I don't even what's the fucking point. You know what I mean? I don't want to do that And um, I was like, so what's you know, what is there? I what option do I have because there's no option to force The other person in this situation to return back to the United States. That's illegal I can't do that you can do an early return to pen is dependent has to agree It is. Yep. The erd process is voluntary. Yeah, and um, so yeah, no the entire the entire 18 months basically that I was there. It's all IPCS back to the United States I collected no Housing allowance until my divorce was final and then I got I started getting it again and um, uh, you know, I I fucking we're on left and so you're Your ex wife was still in Germany this whole time. Yep. So she she went and got her Uh herself sofa sponsors that is a forces agreement by afese. So she had her own sofa Sponsorship at some point. So even my sponsorship that she had the sofa sponsorship from being with me Um was was gone. So she you know, it's so like Um, eventually like, you know, she had to she got her own id car Is this stuff like that because she was sponsored by afese and all this this shit Um, but uh, anyway, yeah So but I didn't I didn't have the housing allowance on that crap and I did I'm really thankful that I had good friends who let me crash on their fucking and it sucked too because like I was having to go back over to Um, the house that I used to live in like if I wanted to see, um, like my daughter and um You know, we basically get fucking abandoned there Uh, because I have no idea where the other person was was going And you know, like those were a day or two where I could fucking I had that place to sleep at you know, you know, you just like Um, yeah, I slept on the fucking futon there in the flight office. I slept over at my good friend peat house a few times um I actually yeah, I probably did there more than anybody else and slept in my car the ramp sign bs parking lot a few times Um, yeah, it's crazy. Is that that are we like they calculate? It's like the the pay In there the are we actually have a thing that they take care of the military member. So it's kind of funny how Great the air force thinks it is or the other grashes yet it feels so hard at this Because of the person was in your same situation. They would have just been put in the dorms But the army also and the marines if you're single or in that situation during the dorms, it's like you're you six anyway So yeah, I wasn't he six at the time. Yeah, I guess Right, but no, man. I I even um So because my squadron has uh seen germans that work for us because our job was off-paced law enforcement with the germ of police And the germ of populace. There is um a couple of dorm buildings that are reserved for the zps Those we call them zps And even if they didn't use the room assigned to them that room was still a portion to that person And um, I even had uh because I had several zps who were my friends Um that went and told keep like their their zp leadership to tell like the american squadron leadership They'll like hey, I live here with my family. Like I'm never going to use that room Like he can have it and they wouldn't get they wouldn't give it to me Yeah, because it's probably it's probably like again painted into some fucking corner where they couldn't let me or whatever, you know Yeah, it's like defrauding the government. You know what I mean? It would put me in there. You know, there was uh Uh, so when I was deployed to curacao um your family Um because the deployed are the full on curacao Where we would actually go do stuff somewhere else But so curacao was good for like family and friends to come visit you like they could come visit you on your phone. It was just crazy um And uh, you could take leave So like you could like take a week off on your deployment Your deployment And uh like spend time with like your friends or family But so we were we were in uh We lived at a hotel off the because no housing or anything or forms on the on the full So we lived at a hotel like fitting that's the way dry driving work all the time But there was like extra rooms so if the the air force or the dod just paid for like this whole half of the hotel Does like if any because like you get to why I've come through a whole bunch of stuff So they just had rooms for whenever most of the person was there like to you not like Two-thirds of that was empty most of my deployment like yeah, like the deploy people like two-thirds of the empty so If you're fant like my my mom and dad Uh came to visit me And they were allowed to stay for free In one of those rooms because it was already for anyways so it's like Dude, do you fucking remember what we needed for? Do you remember when we were in fucking Kenya? I pointed it out to a few people you may have seen it too. Maybe I pointed out to you there but there was that like Really old couple that just for like a dare to was wandering around the camp And they were eating food and they were they would walk back to a hush It was like a really like had to be in their late 70s Some old white guy and some old asian dude or some old asian woman I'm pretty sure that was uh Colonel smith's parents It could have been well, I don't know because the woman was asian He is at least Was he? Yeah Oh, well, I didn't know that it didn't look to me it didn't look at whatever They were walking they walked around camp for a few days I remember thinking like what the fuck is this some like retired four-star who just like The air force flies around and thinks this location is That uns that safe even though it fucking isn't and we knew it wasn't and they just were vacationing there Because I remember they were eating at the fucking chow hall They went into the I remember them walking into the end of you are and looking around and walking out too I was like, who the fuck are these people I bet that was the The base base Korean Colonel smith's uh like parents I was to say this all those fucking quote unquote leaders at that deployment were pieces of shaders They're fucking or senior gates. She's not a fucking senior anymore She was fucking trash. How do you how are you a fucking medic? And spent all of G. Why without a fucking deployment and your first deployment is is a senior masters sergeant The first sergeant they got fucking shit faced out there that I confronted multiple times Like just fuck all these people dude. I got assigned to recruiting. Do you wish I remember her name? I say her fucking care to me either but I remember I got signed recruiting to do there and like There's a bunch of stuff I had to get like done like per like we're creator for stuff And no matter how many times I told them I'm deployed. I can't do that Even I thought let's try to be gone like blah blah. So like go to leaders shouldn't be like, hey They say I have to go do a physical even though I had to do a physical to deploy They say I need a physical Like how do I get a physical and they're like well, we could like say you did you booty and you could get one of This is Like right So legally a major who does like pseudo science on us in the freaking mw. R. There literally was yeah Who could Was like hey, I actually do chiropracting in my part time if you want to come over you know that Yeah, you want to get all snapped up Yeah Well, dude. I just remember because I showed up fucking to deployment and I had a double ear infection and um You know to like to be fair like the camp You know Medical medical shack or whatever you want to call it didn't happen Behind anything. Yeah, it's an anti-vin in right for all the fucking one of the snakes out there Yeah Not a hobby is that Japan black momma dream momma boons slings puff hatters all those fucking things Anyways, your wife would randomly go Decapitate And yeah No, he was like hey, uh all i've got for you is is really strong allergy meds and it'll dry your head out And dude, I swear to you bro I still have issues with my ears because that was ear infections never went away And uh for just for two fucking weeks. It just sounded like everything everybody was saying was underwater. It was crazy It sounded like you were talking to the peanuts teacher Kind of man I could barely hear everybody And like it it hurt obviously and it just like my ears felt heavy and just for two fucking weeks is pretty miserable It was a weird guy. He was very weird. He always had like a smell to him And like like he was weird clothes too. You like bathe, right? He would walk around in his like uniform with like no boots or socks And he was doing for his like script your health to like walk through it and be grounded to the earth I was like dude Who hired you? I remember that he was a Jacksonville Jaguars fan He was like a closet super hippie or something because he probably he uh He was saying he always had like a little bit of fun to him. I remember one day I went there because like I think I I like slightly fell out of the tower and kind of like bump my elbow and it was like aching or whatever and uh So I went to him and I was like I just need like something better than tiling off or like a brace like yeah anything I was like just a guy. I got like a soft thing. So I was where I wore that for a month or a day I think it helped. I'm not already being anymore where um But like she was when I was in there for my checkup He was talking he was going on and on and on about how like modern soaks are bad for the skin You got to make your own soap blah blah blah and he makes his own soap And he always smelled funky because it's so wasn't very effective I didn't know he made his own soap. Yeah, that's really really weird. Do you mean making soap in his office? Fucking animal fat. He was just rendering in the fucking hooch like what the fuck? I didn't know it Probably going out getting those water buffals. I was murdering the homies Yeah, right. I remember that. I remember the soap. Fuck the humvee. I'm wearing anything Yeah, it's funny. I remember the the uh The humvee mechanics they're like getting died in one, but what actually happened? I'm like, I'm telling you. Oh shit It's I hit a water a little could really get Yeah, so this is This is my turn Yes Okay Would you say? Would you or would you not say that there is an unreconcilable Dicotomy in the statement. We can't be the world's police You used a lot of big words there, but I'm gonna need you to break those down I got you Um So when I say would you or would you not say that there's an unreconcilable Dicotomy in the statement. We can't be the world's police, right? All of us are very sick and tired of funding wars around the world, right and keeping our outspoken enemies at bay so to speak, right? um But would you say that the dichotomy in that is That you're losing ground as the world's hegemon And that there will be fallout that will not be good for The united states in the long run and that that really just opens up the door for um The I guess you could say the the main power that of the us to fade completely That if we're not the world's police then we're not anything It's like a Dan if you do it in if you don't listen to it. Yeah, that's where the word dichotomy comes in. Okay um So you're asking me If it is a dichotomy Well, yeah, I'm saying do you think there's a way to reconcile that dichotomy that you can be both not be the world's police And still maintain that big stick that everybody is afraid of That if you let this one go, right? You let Ukraine fall to Russia, right? That the way it looks isn't that the us has lost its power that maybe it's just I mean, it's lost its luster, I guess but that Is there a way to say we can't be the world's police? But we are still that top dog and if you fuck with us, you know, you will be on the losing end of the sick Even if you have the argument about like as the United States had to be a safe win You know war or whatever, but yeah, you get what I'll try to say that question makes sense it does And you for better extolients, isn't that a feeble brain this evening? Um, I would say I would say that the uh um Yeah, you you could still be the world's police without being involved in everything it's your presence that can Change things but your presence comes with um With strength like your power comes with your ability to be strong And I think the us would have to get very Black and white with foreign policy and get over a lot of the gray So you'd pretty much have to be like this is a line Here is the response that the line has crossed. We're telling you up front Don't cross the line and then when they do cross the line you do the response Yeah, and you just tell us all here in the actual community what the line and response is so like Before the Ukraine before Russia ever invaded Ukraine You would just be like if one Russian soldier or one Russian aircraft military-wise or One Russian bullet or artillery shell or missile or anything enters the sovereign country of Ukraine We will do this And then when it happened you just do it Like you just tell them. I'm going to sink one of your destroyers Red lines matter. Yeah. Yeah. I'm good at slipping. You just come straight what's going to be Your Kremlin Is going to be gone if you invade the uh if you invade Ukraine Now i'm going to tell you when you can all evacuate, but i'm i'm flattening Your Kremlin your historic building will be gone Like and we will cease to exist so you think that Like so do you think then that just funding another proxy war is not actually I mean, I don't think it's doing us any good. I'll say that up front And um, this is like a question for arguments sake, right? We're at that point where you can't end it now You're too. You're you're too committed for sure this one you have to see through You you have to see it until either You couldn't isn't the argument in this that you have to see it through to the fullest measure I think there needs to be a clear line set soon And then you respond to that line appropriately Because I think it's reaching the point where it's like shitter get off the pot time either stop funding Ukraine. Yeah, and whatever happens happens or The other thing so so I don't want the other sense So the the the line part to me in this for that specific conflict is for Russia only I would say where we currently are at You would have to fund Ukraine indefinitely until either Ukraine quits or cease to exist. So I'm sorry. You can't Not do that but Tell Russia there's a line like and the line is like if your troops push past this specific point or Whatever or you don't end the war like you have Sure you gained your ground cool You've got you got Crimea. You've got some other places here, but if you don't Like if you keep this going on for like another year Here's the line and you have to enforce the line so you can You can set The actual let's leave like this is when it ends But you start to farm until it ends I definitely think there should be before we go to war with anything whether it's by proxy or boots on the ground That and this is hard to do right that there should be A defined objective for this war, right? This is what we're trying to do And once that objective is either met or it's realized that it's impossible to me. It should be over Yeah, very great All right, let's take a break real quick and we'll come back Chief And we're back That was a long break. I really had to pee. Yeah, I felt like one in five minutes me. Yeah, very real It was pretty quick So we left off for listen some feel like zero time Zero time you use a break breaks over That's right break is over now Exactly back to the show beaches So we left off with would you or would you not say there's an Unreconcilable dichotomy in the statement. We can't be the world's police and you were giving it a good answer Um, but let's kind of uh re-attack what you were you were talking about and basically You know, isn't one of those things where like if you're not the world's police then somebody else is going to fill that void and you have to find a way to Balance the force you use the big stick that you carry right because Terence requires strength and presence right so how do you how do you not be the world's police but also Be the world's power because there's always going to be somebody trying to be the world's power I don't think a unit or a bipolar or multi polar world is a sustainable Way with human beings in mind. Yeah personally. Yeah Um, I don't think it's possible at all for the world power to not be the world's police because You can't be Let's just say hypothetically China was the world power. Okay. They're the ones who tried to everything How are they able to maintain that power if they can't Project their uh power not power influence influence. Yes How can they continue to be the power if they can't project the influence the reason why the United States is still To this day the global power as of right now Um is because we have the ability to project it anywhere like at any time within like hours Um, so in every nation on this planet knows that they know that the us because you show up at their doorstep with it hours um But everyone like the need all the nations know currently like China can't do that Russia can't do that um The two the two big ones that probably even compare to that china is Wrapping up in a bigger way than when we did in world war two. It's crazy. It's true. Yes um I still think china is a long way off from being able to project how we are because we then I think there's like 270 something forward operating Like locations for the us that includes like bases and like long camps and stuff Um, but there's not that mass places. Yeah, just everywhere all across the world. Um But there's not a single other country's base in the us It's like I mean, that's kind of saying something. I mean, we don't have a us base in china The youth are trying to have like coldy said quarters in the us. That's like a base. It's wild to me. It's just not the year but I I don't think you can be the global power and not the the global police force Because I mean I agree with that doesn't make sense. Um, I'd agree with that and which is why I asked the question because You know, everybody's sick of foreign policy spending on behalf of ukraine or singing late to israel Right, just approve it with 92 billion or something. Yep again Yeah, and I had the tick tock thing wrapped up in it, but my question is is like obviously These this 92 billion and 95 billion or whatever was could be put to much better use here in the United States and our infrastructure and people Need it But you know, it takes me off this as much as it does the next person but at the same time I Question whether or not You know We have to have a dog in the fight or not otherwise we're leaving that power void Um, and you know, could we sit back and Build up strength and repair and all this stuff? Um for a time. I think we could I don't think russia is as big of a deal as people make it out make them out to be Yeah, um the fact that they wound wound up in a in the trench warfare scenario in in ukraine Um, yeah, and the united stage is much to credit for that, right? Um, but uh, I also don't think china is is ready for something on that scale either They couldn't handle it too for a war. That's for sure. No, I mean they just they constantly fire their leadership They found a bunch of water in missiles, right? They ain't going anywhere It's exactly opposite of a propellant unless you're talking about a fucking water rocket That she didn't go on across the ocean. Yeah, so they could china could mess up as much of The us assets in the pacific as they wanted But until you actually like start messing with the us like mainland The us are gonna fight and like trying to can't do that. China could have Millions of soldiers if they can't get them over the ocean the wants the point of having your millions of soldiers That's when they come in with this cyber thing, right? And we've talked about that before but yeah Power grids and dans a lot of so I get that but we can very easily just do it right back to them So it's kind of like a yeah, oh, yeah Um mutually sure destruction just going nukes in a way. Yeah, but the I think the us Needs to get to a point of strength to where we don't have to Actually be so physically involved. We don't have to be so kinetic with being the world police. We can It's it's like a really good like father in a way. It's like my dad Never once like hit me Never got spanked Never physically touched and you know like a in an aggressive way. Get homes and stuff. I've never like had anything Bad and that was my dad's bank, you know, but I knew By the way he stood with the way he talks the way he looked at me That if I continued on that path that I was currently on That was that was coming and it was real and I had never even experienced it, but I knew it was real so The us needs to get back to that. I think we were at that it in time wise relatively Um, so a while ago like I would start with you the early 2000s and 90s. We were Pretty good at being able to say hey, no You can't do that enemy nation or crazy country or to though. Yeah, because I A lot of people like to give um To obama like a lot of like flak and stuff But obama He used the most true stripes and row By like driveby's all the time. I like thousands more than his predecessor and Like and hand by uh, who's who's replaced him since then like it's just insane But what's crazy if we could say this about obama too is like he did all that And then his policies about the border were way more secure Then bite him and people didn't even realize that and we talked about that with instead our game was secure than under present trump Yeah, definitely a lot more strict. Yeah, a lot of I did a lot of like the photos of like those encampments or whatever They were like look what's happening at the border. Those photos were actually taken under the obama administration's time and they were just being like brought up during trump's presidency and trumps like that's not even Like that's from 2014. That wasn't me. Right. I was right blue air. That's a whole nother story But one thing I will say about obama is um If you mess with the us of obama's president there was a drone strike like an imminent the hell fire coming down She I don't know people know this but there was like a key like um alkyta leader who's like nephew was getting married to someone And uh, it was like the best time to like eliminate this one alkyta leader and obama When obama was president he mandated that every drone strike had to be approved by him So he didn't delegate it to anyone else. So He he literally thousands of drone strikes during his presidency. So he was probably getting Like a phone call once or twice a week At least his entire presidency Hey, man Here's the here's the here's where we got which is yeah, you know the grid square in him and can we turn it into a parking lot? Yeah, do you want to send? Yeah, go ahead but um He he drone striped a wedding to kill one dude And killed The groom the bride like almost like majority of both of families It was like hundreds of people dead most of them innocent to take out one dude And yeah, that one dude. I don't I don't know how um I guess Severe bad Him still being alive would have caused with atrocities that he was never part of right? We won't know because we're not part of that height. It's so long of intelligence, but um During that time People knew that if you mess with the us Doesn't matter if you had a wedding. It doesn't matter if you were at park Didn't matter where you were at We're in as long a bypass stand yet, right? If if the country you were in ended with stan or an There was a or back there was a there was a yeah, there was a yes Unless you're in Syria, right? No red lines in Syria. I guess Yeah, but uh Under trump that happened too like when we took out the uh Suma suma, this is named so i yeah Iranian Iranian general or whatever. Yeah Uh, that was one of those things and it was funny is trump got a lot of flag for it But obama never got flag for his drone strikes. It's just then you drop the fucking set on twitter After that just fucking american flag post Like that's it dude, but come correct I feel like If we could go back in time and put a different president put bushin put obama in You have a clinton during the Russian ramp up of their exercise on the agreement order and then saying it's not invasion and blah blah blah This time. I feel I feel like it would have been a lot different even like I know obama would have been like oh, it's an exercise cool I'm gonna put an exercise right on the other side of that line like i'm bent down would have been something that obama would have done Um or trump could see some president do that right? Yeah, oh, okay. Well, there's special forces is there now Yeah, exactly. Oh, you're just doing this giant exercise right on the border cool Well, we're gonna do a giant exercise right on the other side and we're gonna wait Right, right, right. That yes, it would have cost a lot of money But it would have been way cheaper than how much we're currently spending All right Would it have bolstered and maybe like mean the region a little crazy for the law and one false bullet going the wrong way or whatever Could it just annihilated the whole section? Yeah, right but Russia wouldn't have been I agree with you and this is a total hypothetical situation, but I don't think they would have gone in Yeah, no, they wouldn't they've been too afraid to act like telling american and then all hell would have broke loose Um, yeah, start the staring contest and then don't blink H you don't already. Oh, it would use to come like the The eastern european dmz and it's like we've already had that there was the one water for a long time And we just stared at each other for a long time. I would shown up the girl Um, yeah, capitalism one so We're people fleeing east into west germany not the other way around. Yeah, so yeah No one fleeing the u.s. Currently, but everyone's trying to get Yeah, I know I mean just to me it's like It's one of these things was like yeah I'm frustrated with the amount of money we've spent on foreign wars But at the same time it's like where's the balance in maintaining the the power that we have all enjoyed You know and I get it man You know, this is done a lot of fucked up best shit and killed a lot of people you just talked about it, you know, but What country hasn't and it's not an excuse, right? You can come at me all you want in the fucking comments or or whatever But like if you're an american the life you enjoy especially you at columbia or my you or the fuck you are You know barricading yourself in a fucking building and begging for quote-unquote humanitarian aid Dude, I just want to say this about that that real quick that chicken Uh that dude standing there at the microphone talking about one food and water and shit like that when you can just fucking walk out of that building And then she had the fucking nerve to call it humanitarian aid Like the people in that sort of group use words all the time that you don't accurately Define what it is they're asking for like have you actually seen what humanitarian aid looks like You're asking to get fucking McDonald's uber did uber instead like that's not humanitarian aid You're not refugees you can fucking leave you didn't have to be there in the first place Like i've seen what humanitarian aid fucking looks like and you saying things like that It just diminishes what it actually means to somebody in a real third world country who gets humanitarian aid and that's all they fucking have While you're at an ivy league school putting yourself in a fucking position. We were just joking about Tomlers it's exactly the time that we're fucking huge I've saw someone explain like the current situation of the colleges and they they said this it says imagine if you were in mcdonald's And wanted to eat but found out the mcdonald's supports a cause you to greet you disagree with Instead of taking your money elsewhere You decide to call your friends and buddies to come fill up this mcdonald's until they change what they believe in While still demanding to make you a thing mech That's it you but exactly it's like got the ingredients bitch make me a whopper. Yes. All right Yeah, that's that's it man. Yeah, she fucking was like well we're students here. You have to provide food for us Wow I don't think that was in the student hand but Well, like dude if you're on meal card like yeah, you're paying for for a fucking food Yeah, but like like you let you say No one is like forcing you to stay there Exactly and no one was like forcing you at the time at least no one was forcing you to leave there So like you could have just been like hey save my seat to your buddy. What do you want? Hey, you could have just left Got what you needed and then it came right back Well, the police were grabbing them like as they left the building according to them Right, but at the same time like this isn't the branch to vidians, right? The fbi is not going to burn the building down to get you out You know, I or just fucking kill you Fbi a TF all of them same people at ruby ridge Yeah, but what's uh, what's funny is I saw I saw a video on youtube the other day about the stuff and um There was like the pro palestinian and then like the pro is real keyed. Well at one college. I can't remember what it was and um The cops just got in the middle of them because they didn't want from them to mingle because they didn't want like Slayer or fight them. It was funny is the cops like went in between them And it made like a set line and the the officers were like, hey, just don't cross Please like you can do whatever you want it out of size. It's no cross okay, and The the pro is real side very calm They continued to protest how they wanted they were protesting the protest right? Oh, so it was stuff The palestinian side got mad that they were now Being divided and just start throwing stuff at the cops throwing things over the other side One like person came up and started yelling at a cop in his face and when the cop tried to walk away He pushed the cop and still they didn't arrest this guy and it's like You're getting away with so much and you don't realize that the opposing side um Is also protesting visually and stuff like you don't I don't understand why you think you have to go to the islands For your cause. It just doesn't mean well, especially when you're protesting in favor of a terrorist group Yeah, right and here's the thing man like The United States is a history of rebellion and i'm all for Protests and I don't agree with the people that are protesting in favor of palestine and humas Right at all because they're a terrorist group. I'm also a terrorist group You know, so yes, it's good to see people exercising their rights and fucking protesting And being rebellious, but at the same time If you're locking yourself in a building or you're not peacefully protesting Those are the way it's not the way to do it There are other things going on in our country that I would be a lot more I guess Forgivable on if you were protesting in a different way about right like maybe Court the corporate Corporate hypocrisy in our country that keeps us all fucking broke you want to go fucking protest that shit Go for it dude get up in their faces like I don't care right like but just like taking a stand in the crazy thing is Is that none of these people and fucking three months or six months or a year or two years? Are gonna have done anything of consequence to make the situation better It's just a fucking notch in there. I'm a victim And virtue signaling belt That's all it is and and they're so fucking Void of a sense of purpose that they're clinging to the first Thing that gives them an emotional response to a an issue right and it is an issue I'll give them that yeah, but that's it. This isn't real. This is just Manufactured they currently live in a society Where they don't have actual turmoil or Right they don't have Why is my brain blanking they don't have Challenge in their life. They don't have Nothing is giving them an actual sense of prior purpose like nothing in their life is currently doing it so they grab on to these International or like spotlighted things because they think this is now receiving a purpose I'm going to get my good job. I pat on the back my you were part of history blah blah blah but what's funny and It'll be interesting to see is Yeah a couple months probably with at least within the next year No one's going to remember these protests It's gonna like they didn't even matter and a lot of these school like directors and stuff Are still like they have flipped out and being like yeah, he could protest like what but we're not Changing anything Um, you can go somewhere else Yeah, tell me literally literally ask the police to have those people removed from the building. Yeah Yeah, so It's funny because they think they're gonna somehow change it all today or it's gonna you know If if we get the college to no longer support this thing and yeah, I'll continue to go to school here. It's like Meanwhile jewish donors who donate millions of dollars to university are no longer doing it. Congratulations Yep, you know, and you know what dude, they came with the school. They give what they fucking deserve dude These fucking ivy league schools all they've done is bred these fucking Morons for for years thinking this way and here it is dude the fucking liberal fucking minded Literally and kicked in the fucking ass by these fucking morons So i'm here for it dude. You want to be fucking stupid It's just I know it's funny too is is really all these kids will fucking sit there Probably tell you to that like they're against capitalism Meanwhile, they all probably spent the same 15 dollars to buy from the kafia You know factory or whatever the fuck is making all these fucking kafias that are just going to be sitting somewhere in there Fucking apartment or miserable dorm room six months from now Killing you wearing yeah exactly, you know, oh, that's all by this. Oh, this is a mark of our struggle like you have no fucking idea Yeah, it's anyway, but yeah, the the point of the question is is like Having to find that balance and how I don't think there is a way to reconcile the dichotomy that exists in Wanting to not be involved, but also wanting to be the world's power because it comes with Action maybe not every time right yeah, but you need to be afraid like you said You have to have a healthy respect for the consequences if you do decide to act up and I think that there is enough time to sort of spin well to spend that money into fixed problems in the United States and we absolutely need to Um, but and here's the thing too. You got to stop being so afraid of the fucking press Right just because someone's gonna write some fucking stupid article and say the US is Falling behind or Russia this or China that like we hang who fucking cares dude Sitting the fucking back go to work fix problems You know and come back even better than before is it's kind of my my philosophy on that like don't fucking worry about what everybody's going to say about it um, but you you have to be able to Exercise that that power. I think what I think Everybody's really frustrated with the amount of money we spend in Ukraine and in Israel because we know that there's problems To the us that we need to fix and we went from 120 year war right into another after You know mr Biden got in front of the fucking microphone and said we're not doing this again And then sure enough right Putin did what he did and then we're right back here spending fucking Buku books just to do this all over again. Yeah, and um, it's why I think I said earlier that If if we're gonna go to war in the future, we need to have a defined goal And once that goal is either met or determined to be unattainable, it should be over We also need to um Wars need to be Decided by uh, like congress. They need to be decided by yeah more than just a couple generals Or just the president or anything like that. I understand the president has like emergency powers to send troops wherever And all we talking about this in previous videos, but like maybe we have And I know that you know, converse in the senate, but yeah, they're passing these metric tons of money For you created right now and cool. That's the way should be done. They've asked it and we go to them in it's happening. Got it But um, any future conflicts or wars or anything like that needs to be Uh, very well thought I'm like you said he said a goal Um, that needs to be met something needs to be obtainable and set before you decide to Start sending this is what we're doing. Yeah, if it gets to the point where we can't actualize that goal Then that's it. You know what I mean? Yeah, and obviously like things can change I guess but there needs to be something as best as much as you can predict Whatever is going to happen in the goal because obviously we all know for is super unpredictable, but yeah, I'll say this man I don't think we we owe you crane a fucking thing And I think that it is is really sad how quickly we've all forgotten about a lot of the things Um that have gone on and you crane over the past 100 years, right? Not to get too historical and maybe bring up things that don't have much to do with what we're talking about but like You know anti-Semitism is 110 on the rise. There is a fuckload of anti-Semitism in Ukraine Historically presently Right if you don't know what a program is I I implore you to google the word pogr om And look up the cranium programs, right? And i'm not saying that the the sins of the past should come back to haunt people in the future But the point i'm making is is If this isn't an innocent country there that you know is Our brothers and sisters and arms for any sort of reason whatsoever It's just not and fucking 20 years ago the cia helped them bring an election And fuck over, you know a lot of the other things that they were doing democratically the way that it should be done so Um, there's a lot more going on. Is it weird? We re every country the cia tries to mingle in for the betterment of like national security and the us 15 or 20 years later tends to blow up on our face Yeah Almost like you can't fucking walk in with a cookie cutter and just stamp it on the table and say Democracy, yeah, it doesn't work. That doesn't have that work. Yeah Especially when your your means and method are absolutely undivocratic The rebels you're funding today are going to be the terrorists you fight tomorrow Dude, it's like it's like that fucking quote man one man's terrace is another man's freedom fighter. Yep which I think well, it was a question after I say this. Let's hear something more Brandon but we do What's interesting about Ukraine specifically is that for the last like 15 20 years the us and majority of the UN has been like hey Russia's right there and If you want actual protection, you got to join the UN. Here's how you do it And Ukraine's been kicking the can, kicking the can. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. I want to do it for whatever reason they had If it was Russia tampering with stuff if it whatever it is I think it's very interesting that they had no desire and no haste to join the UN Until Russia's in their country and at that point it's too late. You said join the UN now And then you had Kamala Harris his dumbass going up on fucking stage or like the NATO security council meeting And and Talon Zalinski. We want you to join NATO I can't say you join them at NATO. I know you're mad. Yeah for all this time. I'm all mad No, you're good, bro. Yeah, that's what she says. Right. Yeah, like tell me tell me what the fucking point of saying that is Other than just the start shit, you know Anyway, we'll sleep still boxed on this one a lot You can't join NATO now because Russia's in your country and join and it was just fancy. I think they have like a A push to like be voted in or something like you can't vote Ukraine in now Because Russia's in their country in a second that vote passes NATO has to go for all of us after coming to Russia Yeah, so what does it mean? You need to concede the areas of the dumbass and the other you know that you just say these are Russia now And this new line is what Ukraine is and now Ukraine is is in NATO, which is still dumb as fuck. Yeah, so Anyway, I mean ah god We've talked about this before you know, I mean Ukraine used to be a nuclear nuclear country and the bill clin got them to give up their fucking nukes You know, there's all kinds of there's all kinds of history here, man But people forget about that even forgot about what happened at 2014 real real fast So anyway, I think it's your question now big girl. It is and we're gonna kind of stick with the um theme of politics a little bit I like it. I like it So it is official trump versus by it in 2024 Yeah, sorry How do you think it will play out? Who do you think is going to win? Who do you think? Well by how much? um and why And then also Whoever you think does win actually for both of them. It's either one wins What does their next? 100 days in office look like Great question um Yeah, so I think I think a lot of people on On both sides are very fed up with joe biden and they're very fed up with the people that are actually running the country in Joe biden's name because I don't think that he's involved in much. He's just Too fucking old and it is what it is. Um, I think a lot of people really fed up with that Um, I also know that a lot of people are very fed up with donald trump too And there are there's too many valid reasons for that. You know, I mean, I guess Polarizing yes pull. Yeah, not pulverizing Um does pull you know, and and I don't like everything about donald trump either You know like I don't like his stance on red flag laws. You know, just start start there You know, um, but I do think Given our two options. I'd rather see him there former years of Joseph our biden Um, and I think a lot of people feel that way too I think that Everything going off with trump in the courts is is really having the exact opposite effect that the democrats hope it would It almost feels like they're not even trying to the to the level that Uh, you think they would and I think it's because they know that joe biden is so fucking Just cheeks dogwater weakened at bernies and I think they know that Um, so and there's really no one in the democratic Uh or the left who You know, they could prop up and and promote is like I think they're a sick and gavin news from two and his bullshit Um, but anyway, I think I think trump will win if it's not truly rigged Um, and I think it will be a lot closer than people realize. I don't think it's going to be a fucking Landslide. Yeah, um, I think it'll be closer than people realize because people are and I also think that R. F. K. Is going to take a lot of votes away from people that are sitting on the fence about joe biden and donald trump I do worry about a second trump presidency right as well because I feel like he's going to be more apt to put A lot more yes men around him because the guy had a big cult following And I think it's good word to use in 2016 and then all four years he was in in the office And all that this last four years has done is really build and bolstered that cult following And people see him more as like a fucking god-like figure. I think than they did before It's like one of those things like what kirk kobein killed himself for under vanna was You know escalated immediately to rock legend status, you know, and trump getting trump losing the uh election in 2020 Uh was the uh like equivalent of that. I guess so that worries me Um, all these people that could be yes men around him, but um I think a lot of it will boil down to who he picks his vp as well. Um For a while there, uh, I don't even know a lot would choose. I don't even know like what would be good Hey, I think he's gonna choose tulsi gabber. To be honest. Um, I do I think I think he is I think that the vet would be a really good vp, but I just don't think that he would pick him Um Sarah sanders uh from arkansas. I think she would be a good vp, but I also don't think it's her time I also think she wants to run for president eventually too um, but the vet would just be an amazing vp because all those guys do is fucking talk and that dude is a whiz with words and anybody that fucking tried to come at him about shit or the for the their, um The presidency about anything he would just fucking wreck him, you know, so it would there would be a lot of really good People care about that kind of thing, but I do think I think it'll be tulsi One thing I have noticed about trump so far in his current campaign um Is he has taken a almost a step out of the spotlight for his campaign Which is kind of weird because he is the guy like obviously he's running He's the dude and go for president. His campaign's all for him. Duh But I've noticed that he has kind of taken a step away from the spotlight and he's kind of just letting the trump train Run itself. That's exactly what I was saying before that cult following. Yeah, he doesn't need he doesn't need any Yeah, and he's uh, he's using Uh, the democrats Uh against them. Oh, yeah, they're constantly talking about his Court proceedings. They're constantly talking about trying to try to get him off the ballot in certain states They're like all this stuff and all of those are then shot down Uh, the court proceedings are just continuing to go and go and go But it's like they say bad policy is because we'll see like he's just getting his name out there without having to do much And I think if trump does win I think because his first presidency he was still very like in front his front and center for everything he would go to Um a lot of the press conferences himself. He would like everything and that was Most presidents don't do that most presidents would come on and just give a speech and then leave it to their person But he was like answering questions. He's like he was doing like He was the man of a million hats. Right. Um I think if he does win, he's going to take the The I do think he will step back a bit Um, he will be less Uh, very vocal and out there and I think The reason for that is because he knows that that's what the left is going to feed off of to just Ruin and harp in his presidency and if he Steps back a bit but it's still successful and everything else and they'll have then they'll have nothing against him other than His court proceedings probably gonna get pushed forever um And he he's not he And I think he understands that that's something that he would need to do to ensure That you know the future of the country future of the nation is safe card and she's that yeah, this is the same guy who We there he liked his money schemes or how he manages finances or whatever he was literally a billionaire and he decided to Become president of the United States and give up a lot of his money his holdings his Lively hooded for a what three hundred fifty thousand dollar a year salary which he never took He donated all of his salary while he was president. So, um that it's just That's what I think at his first 100 days you'll answer here a sec, but his first 100 days at trump is going to be Like a full purge of everything. I think mine and is done Yeah, purge reset I think I think a lot of that will happen too I do think that that notion that's kind of happened a lot in the past couple of residencies where they just walk in and eradicate everything The last guy did is in a good thing. I mean there is stuff that should go away I think but it shouldn't just be like day one Fuck all this shit and then you know, just start over from a blank slate um, but I like I like what you were saying before because it's almost the equivalent of when you're fighting somebody bigger than you and I guess you could say They're bigger than trump just because they have a media behind them But when you're fighting somebody bigger than you use your their weight against them Right. It's one of the things that you are taught to do and it's basically what he's doing Your your analogy. I think is a is a good way to put that but um I agree with you. I think that he will pick Tulsi Gabbard. That's just what I think I know that she's basically said if he asked she'd say she'd say yes Um Christy gnome that whole thing with her fucking killing her hunting dog Uh, that's just the dumbest shit ever. I can't believe that anybody would fucking say that Um, so like put it's like taking your old dog out of the fucking trees because they've got cancer And you put him down. You know what I mean? Or old yellow style. He's got rabies So you put him down. It's like, oh, this this isn't working out as a farm dog So I'm just gonna go fucking kill kill this this one-year-old dog It's like you couldn't find somebody to give it to like a family. You know what I mean? Like just the dumbest fucking thing ever dude. Like why would you even say that? Anyway, you know, she they said that she was rumored, but that didn't happen anymore. That's for fucking sure um but uh first hundred days, man I think there will be a lot of focus on um, upray in a russia And a way to try and wrap that up I also think it'll go right back into being in fucking china's fucking coolade as well and um anything that he can do to essentially build that sphere of influence in those areas to Put them back under the american thumb so to speak Um, that'll be a big focus I also think that an area that the Biden administration has really failed on we've already mentioned is The infrastructure in the united states and our bill of power Yep production power for sure as well. Yeah, some of you've seen too. There's been a lot of stuff out about um building and manufacturing things Um, there's a lot of talk. We never see it actually happen Yeah, it's quietly coming out like one of the industries is the submarine industry for obvious reasons but that actually I've started seeing a lot of really Out out there and quiet advertisement about it and trying to hire people to build submarines and stuff like that I think you'll just Take a page out of that and start focusing on things that you know, Biden immediately or would fail that and start immediately doing them Um, but I think that's what it will look like look look like in the border for sure too That'll be something that happens almost immediately. I feel like that's like a day one thing. You might even go there Um, there'll be something whether it's not a full shut down of the border It'll be something legitimate. Um You say all that man. We say it here like it's fucking nothing But like it's one of those that's that's so much the fucking handle but first 100 days I think that'll be the focus. I don't even want to wish or I guess i'm what'll actually be accomplished But I think the border to definitely be accomplished at least shutting it down within the first hundred days Uh could be accomplished and then um, I don't know. I would like to see him I don't know how you would but find a lot of these people that are here Um, and especially the ones that were criminals before they got here and get rid of them Um, if we had him with criminals in this country to begin with we don't need any more Um, but I think that's what it will look like and personally I do I hope he picks Tulsi. I think that'll be a good a good thing Um, and that would help him win if you pick somebody like DeSantis I think that that would hurt him in the long run It doesn't work similar. It yeah, it fights. You need a yin yin yin. I've read. Yeah, agreement It's it's yeah, it's like salt water and fresh water meaning they're both water But that just differences fucking they're just too. You can't make brackish water. Yeah, no Anyway, but that's what I think yeah personally um It it's funny with like biden's build back better clan because uh like it's It's praised by so many Um on the left But if you actually look into it the build back better plan Was just the maga plan make america great again with a different title. Yeah some tweaks. Yep, which Was like hated it's like that doesn't huh like you just changed a couple words and now you're having like good job Um, yeah It is I live in your state currently And uh over here in like the up city or uh when you drive down I night I 90 there's like a big sign that says like build back better or build yeah build back better project blah blah blah It that sign has been up like it's a product. They're going to do and like build build something in there I care what i do is it's fed up like since biden took office and I have yet to see anything Like it's just a sign yeah say it's coming I'm like it's been three years. My god. It's just wasted money to fucking put that out there That's yeah, that's all you ever was. It's just cringe now Yeah, it's like that. It's been three years one guy and this is a state that's very blue And you can't even get it done in here. Uh, I can't get it done anywhere else. So it doesn't yeah Yeah, it's just interesting but no um I think if biden wins Jesus first 100 days will just be Nothing it'd be more than saying it. Yeah, just continue of what mundane day-to-day stuff, but I could see biden Within a year or two of his presidency stepping down And then the Kamala Harris is in I can see that being a very real possibility And I think I think the they were planning to do that this presidency But then like Ukraine happened all the type of stuff and it wasn't the right time for them like politically I still think it's It's in the cards. It's it's what they're planning to do Yeah, because then because then it gives It gives Kamala Harris Theoretically if she just keeps if she wins two more times You could have her in for 10 11 years Because her timing people hate her guts too. Yeah, but like her time Stepping up as VP doesn't count as her eight years as president. No, I know. Yeah, so It's just dude. I I fuck that would just be the worst thing ever to have president Kamala. Like I can't even yeah Yeah, like Demonstring a fucking sentence together dude. Yeah, and the one she does is all word salad When it's raining outside we get wet and that's what rain is Rain is wet And what is what happens when it rains? There you are and that's why we use umbrellas to not get wet when it rains Like oh, okay. Hey, thank you. I'm drove on just how she talks exactly That anyway My turn, right? You're up Let's see I have two left. What is a valid solution to homelessness in the United States? Hmm By valid, I mean Perfective just stop you remember me homeless Um Majority of americans today live paycheck to paycheck So most of them are like one Bad page of the way from like not making rent not seeing their mortgage Um, a lot of people become holes because they just miss one payment So they have to make the tough decision of do I eat whatever roof over my head? And that's the American we're currently in it was the world we're currently in a lot of nations are kind of this way right now um So I would say An effective way to stop homelessness to prevent it Or to make it not continue to increase will be to fix the economy. I know that's like a Big thing to do and I'm not Very good. Oh, I don't know enough to give you the best way to fix the economy, but you could get Wages to like stop keep going up and just kind of get him stagnant and then get goods to be stagnant And then get interest rates to come down um Build like have government push to build a lot more like homes because I know like that's an issue too Like in Canada for example because like not enough places for people to live. I know it's not the u.s Like that's just an example. They don't have enough Rentals available Um for people to even get into them if they can afford them um But for the people who are currently homeless um I tend to be against like social programs, but I understand some people just need like a hand Why don't we have some type of like I know we have like section eight housing or whatever Um, which is usually very cheap and stuff, but those tend to be Drug ridden crime ridden since they're not They're not good But let's just raise the family. Yeah, um In the military we have bh right it's an entitlement that you get and it's based on your zip code Why can't just the federal government as a whole? Instead maybe spending many to 95 billion to your grain you could put 92 95 billion into Like hey housing. Yeah, we're going to subsidize housing for like the actual homeless ones who Art massive criminals Yeah, what criteria would you put on it can't be like in and out like massive criminals You could have been a criminal before because earlier I talked about how like when you served your time We're done, but like if you're just a repeat a finger that you're a creative defender. No, you don't get this um if drugs, yeah, you gotta pass a drug test you have to show proof um or like me or like Uh a proof of you actively trying should get a job or Proof like you still have a job use can be ends meet proof on how you are getting your finances and check and that can be provided too. Like why is it like a financial council like helping these people? Um Dude, yeah, financial literacy is a massive thing and you could you could start that in like Like in high school. There should be classes About credit About debt That's how to save how you don't need the news I have phone every single year How the one from five years ago does everything your phone does now like These are things that would eventually lead to people being financially better off to then not have Almost this continue Yeah, there could be like a subsidy program to where the government's like hey We're gonna give you what the average print price is um, you should just like how they do for um employment There should be like a homeless Section And yeah, if you get pulled you get not a point because you don't have a job And then you can get like the house subsidy for a certain amount of time to help you get on your feet Okay more with your tax dollars going there Then high mars in ukraine. Yeah, brook set I feel way better if my taxes are album I feel Americans And the people that I can't even see I want to see who Put themselves in that position on their own Yeah, people who are homeless something to put that position in there or two just instead of saving money They wanted the new flat screen tv and now they can't pay the rent. I get it There's bad apples in every bunch, but I would argue that a lot of people who are homeless Don't like being homeless And they probably want somewhere to actually just be treated like a human being Yeah, it is a good answers I would say pretty much the same thing Yeah, it's It's a hard thing to fix. There's not a blanket and all be all you can make That's something I think what people understand about like politics or like laws or stuff There's never ever going to be like a A thing you put into law or a policy you enact. It's going to fix it in 100 Because every case will be so different just by person to person to person and you might be able to help all of them in some way Uh, I don't think you get rid of homeless this entirely No, no, there's still people who just like to be there's people who don't want to help us They want to live in there I mean there's people who you can give all the help in the world to and they won't take it or They find a way to squander it somehow. It's just Human beings, but yeah, but I think too you can I think there's a lot of like a lot of people tend to see like homeless people As non-humans in a way like they're not like steaming you're equal Can I see this a lot in like um Typically it's like cities right where they don't want Uh, the dude sleeping in his car in the Walmart parking lot, right? So like the cop has to come by and be like hey, you can't be here. You're gonna go I know you have to force that to some extent Where else all of a sudden you'll get homeless encampments in random locations and then none of them leave But like if a person is down on their luck Like I'm not with they're not breaking like any actual laws if it's a victimless crime Like maybe just give them a pass Right. I saw there was a visit video Today before I went to work that my wife was watching And it was these two Japanese tourists And And two Japanese girls, they were touring the United States and they were driving They were 180 in a 55 So emails out of 55 The cops turned on their lights to pull them over Obviously them not being from the United States They kind of freaked out and they kept driving a little bit longer. They weren't like they weren't evading the cops They were just driving a little further down the road and then eventually pulled over Um The cops got out and immediately took it to a hundred And they thought that they were like trying to evade or run away from the cops They're fleeing right and that they were going so fast that they must be a criminal These cops are their guns wrong and it's two Japanese women And it's Japanese going aren't fluent in English. I know I know it's like communicate Yeah, but when you're in a new country And you have the cops of that country pointing guns at you Oh, yeah. Oh, that's how you're not. Yeah, you're not speaking Yeah, you're not speaking Japanese. No fight or freeze. Yes So this whole thing goes down eventually the cops learn that get your Japanese You're here speaking English vacation. You don't speak very good English got it You have all right documents. This is a rental car all type of stuff The driver even tried to explain. I just forgot that the speedometer was miles per hour and not kilometers Because 55 miles per hour is 80 kilometers So in her mind she saw the 55 mp8 sign and thought oh, that's 80 kilometers And with 80 thinking that her speedometer was in kilometers because what she's used to it was just a that's fair Fairly What pissed me off in this video is where I think like you can be a human with the cops Yes You can be a human and you can just give someone a break when there's actually like no crime happening But they're actually genuine and you can tell if people are genuine Yeah, he's coming arrested her They arrested her for evading the police and I can't what's called the um It's like it's reckless driving because she was going on. Yeah, because she's been more 20 miles per hour than speaking They arrested her. I hope they hire a lawyer. Oh, yeah Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know what the outcome eventually was a matter like Having lived in Japan. I know you have to Japanese cops They have their lights on all the time When it was when they patrol their lights are on. Yeah So if Japanese cops are going to pull you over they say it on a loud speaker Yeah in the white car. I am pulling you over Yeah Please pull over to the side of the road and you go that's me and you pull over and america You don't do that We turn our lights and sirens on when we're actually responding to something And you hardly ever Announce who we're pulling over. We just assume everyone's going to move over and then we'll get behind the person who we're stopping And one of the things too. I'll say this like I had to learn when I was a cop in germany is that the um typical american siren whale They don't use that in europe. They use the hiloh Yeah, and the high the whale doesn't register in the european brain So it's like one of those things where When you're in phase one they teach you like hey listen This isn't the us and it's not on base If you use if you're using lights and sirens It's not a fucking everything is a green light or there's no such thing as stop signs because you will t-bone somebody or somebody Will t-bone music they won't get out of the way. They don't understand. You won't realize it. Exactly and um That that happens a lot and I see it's like okay my lights and sirens were on You know and um they just went out of the way and so it's just like one of the things it is It's just different and cultures are different as a cop You can you dictate the situation based on how you show up You know and if you show up and it needs to go to 100 like then it will eventually right I think these cops Arrested uh as japanese girl Because they were embarrassed that they started at 100 and it was actually like a one response It's like needed so like basically we've gone too far and now we need to fucking keep up with the the shenanigans because You know that that officer has a supervisor. He's gonna have to answer to why why did you Why did you draw down on these two fucking five two other knees chase? Why did you call two other patrols over and chase this car? Why did you draw your guns on them? Why did you make this huge scene? That one looks stupid and then you're gonna let him go like you know, that's what's in his way Yeah, he's thinking it's just gonna destroy this is body cam footage Or was this like cam footage from inside the car body cam and cam footage from the car You know you're being recorded too. Yeah, so he knows he has to like like He's either damned if you do dare you don't but like you can be a human if I was in this situation even if I had my 200 Right. Yeah That officer could have just came off a scene that wasn't 100 You know what I mean? That's something that you don't realize is a cop can just had a 100 Hey, c'mon And he's now pulling you over for going fight over like yeah, you know, yeah, oh yeah, so like I don't know the you leave a completed suicide. Now you're routine next thing traffic stop. Yeah If I was the officer, it's funny when I was watching it as it was going on I was like, oh, yeah, there's this understanding I would just let him go and then the cop like escalated further. I was like, what are you doing? Like you know, I was like, what the heck are you doing? You're called the whole time should be to deescalate the situation Restore the peace was peace restored peace officers. Yeah But yeah, I know it's a long change. What I'm getting at is like eight year war human to people Yeah, it's done like humans then I think things will be better in it. But when it comes like homelessness respect just respect phone There was there's a lot of thing I saw where this is on Reddit and this The front page of the internet this manager hired this new employee Um, and he knows this new employee though was like probably sluggish and slow at work and so His manager like the one above that manager was like fire him. He's not productive. Get rid of him. Shit, he's only been there for like two weeks. He's like, just do rid of him Okay, just go. Why is he like this way? His resume didn't Like when it makes sense to this. He was super it was a long time. He's never late. Like this doesn't make any sense So the manager just asked him. Hey, man Is everything all right? It seems to be pretty like slow on sluggish. Like you're not here like what's going on And the guy told him that he was homeless That he got this job trying to get back on his feet and he's currently living in his car But he can only sleep like an hour or two because the cops keep fighting him in these random parking lots Waking him up and making him leave Wow, so he can't sleep Um, can't get a good night's sleep. So the manager was like, okay We have we have a parking lot Uh, we own the property. So I'll tell you what You can sleep on our cockney all he wants We we don't care and we're not gonna call the cops You can park in the back sleeping a car and actually you can sleep in the office Sound good cool. So he let this guy sleep in the office two months later Guys back on his feet good to go saved enough money to get an apartment has an apartment If you had fired him He would have been on the street struggling right would have never just needed a hand Find out about your people. He needed someone to treat him with humility and just give him a hand once he got the hand He's good anything outside that Just need a little bit of assistance and he's good Right now a good point. That's a good way to put that Funny people and I always say this too, man It's like it's like when you would you would see somebody at work getting trouble It's like bro. The only difference between you and them is they got caught and you did it, right? It's the same thing dude. We're all breath away from being on the fucking street We're all the breath away from having something tragic happens who is 100 percent and there are those fucking shithys out there who don't want help Because they just want to they can't get right for whatever fucking reason, you know, we're all humans We all have our own fucking shit. So people just can't get out of it But like a lot of people are sitting there like that. They just need That fucking stepping stone to get to the next level and and start making it right. Yeah, no. That's a good way to put it man I had an airman who when it's a fair child who was kept showing up like late to guard now We're like late to arm it up and usually come in right in front of start, right? But you know, I'd be like 15-20 minutes before and uh Hold the slide. I was like look man You have like one task in the morning I just get here on a time. I think I'm shit showers shave show up get here, right? You know what's I need to be here. It doesn't change It's not like it's not gonna the schedule doesn't change It's the same days every week like it's not You know what it is. Okay. So what's the problem? Are you staying up too late? Are you like? Oh, I got a good story after this. I was like are you not taking care of yourself? Like what's going on? And he just told me he's like I just struggle I struggle sleeping at night I was like, okay like really like you just because he was on days. I was like, you just struggle was sleeping at night So if I swap your schedule and I put you on nights and you sleep during the day Yeah, probably sergeant. All right, cool After today stay after work. We're gonna go talk to us and we're gonna see if maybe someone else switch Right So he went dot There was a married airman on nights who would love to be on days because he wants to have normal awake time with his wife So there you go. They had the same circuits. They're both senior airmen swab them That kid was never late again Yeah, just had to figure out what the problem was It's not dude. It's not always that they're a shit bag. They can actually it probably could just be a shit bag, but yeah And what we have if you don't ask and you don't show humility. How you gonna know? Yeah, you're gonna figure it out one way or the other either you're gonna find a bible solution or you're gonna realize Man, this kid just can't get right and it is what it is and you gotta deal with it accordingly Other way the threat of actions to try to get him right Exactly get your heart after those actions and they get out Dude, so we had when I was at malchum Uh, there was an airman on my flight who just couldn't again couldn't show up on time was always late And um me and the uh tech sergeant who was my supervisor this when I was a staff sergeant Pulled him aside because technically he was my true, you know what I mean? But like he was my tech sergeant's grand troop, you know what I mean? Yeah, and he's like yo, what's up? What's up with this? Like why can't you fucking be here on time? And he's like, I don't know I don't know like I've I said multiple alarms. I fucking I don't wake up yada yada yada yada, you know and like It's one of those things where like you got to get up at fucking 330 in the morning Right because you got to pick up a fucking vehicle and then you gotta drive it over to the armory And then you go to arm up, etc. Anyway, you know how it is So we were like, okay, run us through like what do you do when you get home from yeah? Like yeah, it's it's 12 hours shifts right 12 hours shifts quote a quote, right? So yeah, yeah six six six to six, you know And like what do you do when you get home? Like what does this what does it look like for you? And he's like, well, I'll go home. He's like I'll change in the gym clothes And I'll go for a run and then I'll eat dinner and we're like, okay Like what time is it now like in your in your routine? Yeah, he's like, uh, he's like, you know Maybe like 830 like okay. Well, and then what do you do? You go to bed? He's like no, then I take pre-workout And then I go to the gym and lift and we're like what the fuck what time are you getting to the gym after you're You know, you're you take your pre-workout. He's like 930. Yeah, we're like so you're walking down 10 to like noon 10 to midnight. Yeah And we're like bro So you're on you're hopped all hopped up on mountain dew Right at fucking 10 p.m And then you're lifting till midnight and then you have to get up at three hours And he's like, yeah, um, dude We literally banned this kid from the fucking gym past like 9 p.m We're like you are not allowed to go to fucking gym After night. I was like you can't work. I have to work anymore. You work up with forward. You can't work Well, I'm not gonna tell you but they can't work out, but I'm gonna tell you you cannot take fucking c4 at 930 Or whatever the fuck you're taking one mr No explode where the fuck he was on at the time, you know, anyway That was I just we couldn't believe that shit We said that was like you're taking pre-workout at 930 at night. What the fuck uh, when I was a cadina um I used to I worked days for like the first year I worked nice and then the Last two years over a day. So when I was on days Um get off before our shift and I used to go to the gym after but the gym even I wouldn't take my pre-work I didn't but the gym it's still heightening up and have a hard time going to sleep And so I just took a blood-flowing. Yeah, I just turned up on myself. I was like, okay I still need sleep and gym is hyping me up So I'll just do it in the morning. So yeah, you have to get it at like 3 30 to get it work normally So I just swapped it. So when I got off shift at you know Six o'clock, but you don't get home to like 730. I would when you're an airman, you know, you get home a lot earlier Yeah, like 730 And so I would just go right to bed Yeah Because I knew I was getting at the two o'clock to go to the gym Smith, did you just take sommie tabs turning in your your weapon? I did sergeant what the fuck Yeah But no, I just reversed it Um, and I would wake up at 2 and I'd work out the gym from like 2 15 to like 3 to see Elliot on, huh? Yeah, and then I would I would put that thing down flip it and reverse it I would shave and shower at the gym and then I would show it to work while I'm supposed to like 435 You gotta you'll find a solution. Yeah, and that was I had plenty of friends who did that Yeah, I had plenty of friends who fucking went to the gym at 2 a.m Yeah, I'd fucking work out in for an hour and a half Way home fucking showered through their fucking uniform on and went to work Like it's just one of the sayings dude. You gotta choose your fucking heart Do you want to fucking deal with? Five hours of sleep or do you want to deal with seven hours of sleep? Do you want to fucking not work out like he's just all these things dude life fucking choices Yeah, it's like when we when we were in Kenya. It was uh, kind of the opposite It was um, I wanted to wake up and go right to work That's because we were 12 to 12. I was gonna say we didn't even we didn't work at 6 to 6 in Kenya It was a weird. It was a midnight to noon or noon to midnight. Yeah, so like me. I wanted to wake up and go right to work So we would get off and I would go straight to the gym and then I would stay up a couple more hours until like 3-4 in the morning and then yeah, sometimes five and I'd go to sleep and I'd wake I would really wake up at like 11 Because we had to be a garment. I think like 11 45. I'd wake up at like 11 30 We were all 15 feet from fucking, you know, you guard mouth. You know what I mean? Like I'm gonna like you sleep it with your rifle, you know, like just walk out the fucking The door and then there you know five steps across the gravel. You know, it was easy there I didn't have to like worry about getting food beforehand After dinner. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, dude. It's some sort it's some ways. I miss that sort of thing Like I really do so simple. It was simple. No, dude like I don't know. It sounds so stupid to say you miss shit like that, but like I do Yeah, it's so stupid. It is dude like that's It gets my job like it's just my day, but like it's a good Monday. Yeah It could be a good Monday. Yeah, it's good. That's like the seven months because I couldn't imagine doing it for like a year. I'd be like Right. Yeah Oh, man So it's like or think of like if you were in World War II you were deployed and you were just there till the war was over You were dead Right and then like all those fucking guys the beginning Yeah And the beginning of the GWAT before they came up with that fucking this the six month or the year schedule or whatever Some of those dudes were there for fucking two years like that's just fucking crazy my first deployment was to Was to have army camp in oh one And the army camp was an army resort based ran by the end of your Yeah And its whole purpose was for a two week on our vacation For soldiers who were deployed for a year so they would get deployed for a year and Every it was like every Tuesday a c 130 or a c5 from land At that little like resort and the soldiers would get off who were they just were at like their five or six month mark for the deployment And they would get off and they would get two weeks five the first female airman and they could find Yeah, pretty much Sailor And they uh they got the two weeks to just chill out the resort And then they would get flown back to the floor and to finish out the other Sixish months and my whole job is actually pretty cake because Our job wasn't resort security. That was like uh like actual soldiers. Was this the one where you broke your arm? No, no, that's curious how Uh, we weren't the resort security because our security forces we only protected the airfield But only when maybe it was a plane and there was only a plane when it was dropping off for kind of soldiers So I worked two days a week Terrible dude. I don't know how you did it. I don't know how you did it. Thank you for your service And it's all I'm gonna do it. Thank you for your taxes taxes Dude for real My hands not coming in right Only got one slice of coconut cream cake at the defect today Writing home about it.

They're back to like formal population They had to ship them in kind of Dude, do you were you standing were you standing fucking uh And the airfield with me that time when This the fucking kineens didn't call it in and then they just went berserk on like a troop of fucking baboons And all we heard was ak fire like a hundred yards away But what the fuck you know, yeah Well, they did what the fuck children And they just decided not to tell fucking jadok like oh, we're just gonna go over here kill these fucking baboons And they just did it. Yeah. Yeah, I remember I remember that can't Uh, I was with jerogi who's actually miss george. Um, he thought he was gonna tell that story dude okay so When Kenya we worked with the Kenyan nationals Uh the canan canyon navy guys. Yeah, there was a guy who the whole time we were there for about four months Like the first four months, which is all called him jerogi Because that's what he told us his name was so we just sorry cool your jerogi Dude, I didn't even know this though.

No, you know your name I don't yeah, and uh, well, I was at that little post that you shared with me one day Yeah, and uh, he was just he was just yeah. He was just curious. He was like What would a driver's license look like in the streets? I was like Traversizing was he meant driver's license like that's weird. He's like I was like, well, it doesn't have an actual address on it because it's from like a long time I'm also sure so I was like, yeah, this is like this looks like it's Washington Um, every state is gonna be different the type of stuff. I was like, you guys have to organize? He's like, nope You just drive. I was like, oh, okay. Well, what do you have? So like I barely have rose. So yeah, I was like, we we use identity so he's like, well Uh, when you join the king and navy you get an ID But usually we don't have IDs unless like we need one for work. I was like, oh, thanks What's that look like? He hands it to me. I look at it kind of like a uh droggy Yeah, that's uh like your name's george And he was like, what do you mean? He's like, oh, no, I'm droggy. I was like, no dude. This says george And he was like No, I'm dr. I drove me. I was like, no, like watch that pulled out my total existential crisis Yeah, pull away phone. I went to google typed in george and then hit the microphone and wait george And he was like, george. He's like, i'm george. I'm like, man dude. You're george. He's like huh And you can see on his face. His whole life was like change. My life is a lie because he's not george And he's like, he's like, I haven't always been george. I was like, yeah, I know you just found out He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no He's like, I had a different name before I was eight and I was like, what? And then he told me that Because of like christianne he took over like kenya Um When they're baptized, they're given a western christian name So he used to have a different name that's parents gave him some like Orson, I don't know who it was in uh When he was baptized Uh, they just picked a name out of some like list of christian names But there was no There was no actual like priest pronunciation For like very more because they were like, you know, now it's like a kenya priest And he doesn't know how to say george by looking at it. So he gave his best shots like jorogi So He just thought his name was joromy as well as i was flange Is he called his wife and his mom Like he was after he was like, i'm george And like you could tell him like you'd see the site in his face and Don's life and his mom is after george But it caused a problem Because Old george, yeah, i don't know if you remember this Uh, we did you remember when uh, we got yelled at Um, by like captain farmer because there was too many locals coming to the gate That's fucking idiot Yeah, do you know why there's too many locals going to the gate? They wanted you to teach them how to actually say their fucking name Yes, they wanted to know their actual name proper way to say it So george went back to his little village word of mouth Did told them all his name was george and that you got to go to the americans to know your actual name It's got the magic box that'll tell you how to say it's fucking your fucking name Because it might be wrong Yeah, but i remember you're out there and go to because that go to is you know, it's right down And uh, uh, there was like a line of opinions and none of them were supposed to be there That's awesome. They were all holding their ideas up Like oh my gosh, then they just wanted to know their names. So i did i i sat there with uh mower Me and mower sat there for hours reading people their name That's excellent dude. That would be that's like a scene from a movie. You know what i mean? Yeah It is Am i am i camera like no your camera and jillator, right? Yeah, exactly exactly though in my zh. Yeah, your zach. Good name. I like cielier. Yeah Right cetera Some of them had their name right i'm like, no, that's right you're good then that's what you're like disappointed like five Let's say my name right the whole time. Damn it. You've always been cabinet and jillier. Just go home and make up a lie It's actually kevin I am kevin. Hey, baby. Hey, baby, right? That's awesome. It's funny. Good stories And then drogi every time i saw him be like hello, smith. I am george. I know dude. I know who you are That's awesome. You're just so happy to be george. I never knew that man I just I didn't have like pointed as i have pictured like a couple like group shots with like George in it and i've even said like oh yeah this guy right here. He was in the fucking kinyan navy His name is drogi Like no, it's not he'd correct the fuck out my ass if i seen him. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah I am george But like the rest of that initial ship 23 on his name That's what he just kept saying to himself because he didn't want to get it. You know, right? He just kept george george. I am george And that was like you heard it. You could be like george of the jungle. You know that right? And he's like what so that i'll show him what he drops to the jungle and stuff. He's gonna phrase her Yeah, this one Play the song for him. I was I like this song George Jorogi of the jungle Jorogi of the jungle doesn't have the same ring. You know what i mean? It doesn't it actually sounds like a totally different kind of movie like this George of the jungle is a comedy for kids. Jorogi of the jungle is a drama Drama in Kenya. Yeah. Yeah, exactly Imperial British Kenya. Yeah, we won't go there I think uh, is it my is my next question? I think Uh, I don't I think so you have one left, right? I had I do have one left Yeah, so i'm max and then you're up and then we're done. All right, look he doesn't smoke you so This is for popcorn I'm out See you later The people got a no-brainer. What are the future plans and aspirations you have For your podcast after my departure Yeah Um, well aside from crying um, you know I think well everybody knows now we put out an episode already with um chris from common freaking sense with mark divide um who mark divine super amazing guy actually um pretty wild but um You know man, I'm gonna keep this up for a while and see how it goes Um, my expectations when I started doing the podcast were quickly corrected I suppose that way my expectation management was not what it should be I was humbled for sure. Yeah, I don't know what I thought Um, but it didn't happen But uh, that's okay. Um But i'm keep doing it. I'm gonna figure this out I want to keep talking to everybody and anybody I think one of the things I am going to start doing is kind of change up the interview style a little bit Um for the most part I like listening to people and I like letting them tell me their story and I like letting them tell me about the things that Interested because I like hearing what other people think Um, you know, I that whole thing I got one mouth and two two ears, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I want to start doing more Interview styles where I don't I don't know what the word is. It's not like confrontational not at all like I don't mean to like that but like asking pointed point more direct questions And getting to the bottom of things rather than just listening to somebody talk and making them defend their point and making them Um, you know justify why they think the way they think or whatever I do like actual interviews right and have like discussions about the things they kind of put them in place. Check them. I don't what Yeah, check them. That sounds aggressive or like but like, um, you know, but I don't mean it like that You know, if like before there have been people that we've had on here who have said some things and and the back of my mind and like Does that really make sense? So like that's okay. This is what they're saying and this is their thoughts And that's okay because I want to always said that I want people to determine what they think about this person who's on here um, but Would like to get into more having like a discussion even if that discussion ends up getting I guess heated but not like in a bad way. Yeah, like just defending your point You know, and I want to have more interviews styles like that a healthy debate without it being an argument Exactly, you know, and I want I want to start doing interviews like that You you say something or you say something happened. You know, what's the what's the proof back of what I think that way? You know and um just be more direct in my interview style instead of passive I think it's a better way to say that. So, um, there's there's there's been times where like, uh, I wanted to follow up with what an applicant not african with what a Um, okay, so yeah, so I I was doing a lot of them for korean today. So it's like came all back to my mind But the uh, um, they wanted to ask a follow up sometimes to what someone would say um, but then I would also be afraid of like upsetting them or it meaning to them saying something that like The masses or the algorithm wouldn't agree with and then get canceled. Yeah, and then maybe um, so we we had a lot of people in person um and uh, I think we took down that episode because it was just a little too much and uh Yep, and it was fine for most. Yeah, and in that I wanted to be a little bit more specific and some of my questions challenging yeah, but then I was afraid of If people didn't listen to the whole episode, they would think that we as a podcast were agreeing with that person and um, they didn't want that to happen. So I could definitely see how, you know, there's like a You have to be kind of careful of when you do it, but as long as I guess during the episode um You specify clearly that you just want the information. It doesn't mean that you actually Are like I guess. Oh, yeah, I'm proving out it. Yeah, like full disclosure people have said things on our podcast that I don't agree with that's for sure um But uh, yeah, I think just what it is man is like Having a healthy respect for what you're saying But understanding that when you come on, this is like kind of how I want to change it up Is that I may call you on something or ask you something or ask you to defend what you want to say or ask you to elaborate more Provide evidence for what you're saying um and quantify your statement and um, you know if that leads to Some sort of I guess debate or like it'll always be respectful and healthy Um, you know if someone loses their i'm not like it almost sounds like i'm saying i'm just gonna start coming at people Which is a what i'm saying like i'm just trying to say like I want to be to be more of a direct interview style Then i've asked to listen to what somebody says um, and um, I think that there's just more In there to do that kind of thing with somebody um, and uh You know, I guess you you put it right Push that fear out of the way of just asking somebody a direct question And then seeing you know them Have to elaborate on their own reality And uh, just try to do that. So that's I guess how it'll fiddle change. I don't know if I explained it the best way I fit it, but um I think that for sure there's not going to be any sort of um Like change to like the look of the podcast by any means. Um, I have thought like maybe in the the Depending on how much longer I do this, right? I'll say that um Maybe a change to more simple logo and not the super classical looking one with you know, prometheus handing A man the torch like maybe maybe finding a more simple way to do that. Um but uh You know that maybe in the in the future, but it's not a priority by any means. Um, and do you want to start doing more? Um, which is chris is already kind of started helping with by um Tagging us as a collaborator on some of his like political memes and videos and stuff like that Which is good, which is more than I wanted to do and it's nice to um, you know that he Is just bringing that to the table because it's going on his page anyway. And so like, um You know if you think back to like your continent to liberators page I think that's kind of what's kind of almost like what we Were thinking what happened before we realized just how much fucking time this took. Oh, you know what I mean And um, he already has the page and is doing it Um, and I can keep doing what i'm doing with, you know Uh our our page and doing the reels and all that stuff Actually, he was talking to somebody last night who's gonna come on later this month It's um somebody who he's also a security forces, but um, he's got his own podcast as well But he asked me he's like because he's been listening since the beginning like we talked about You know the first person I had co-host and kind of even more info about all that and he's like, yeah, man He's like your rebrand when zach came on was insane. He's like that like changed your entire I told him I was like dude. That was all zach like the the monday was a friday post like zach designed all those And he I was like zach even that was like one of the first couple car within the first couple conversations We had it was about branding and having a brand and I was like that's 100 You know zach and so in a way that like even though you're gone your legacy is still there because that The way I came with fire podcast looks is 100 because of you Like people don't know that like that's the truth like zach is the reason why it looks the way it does now. So I just felt I remember talking to you after the the like I guess like the Disbandment with the breakup of what you come to go before I just felt so bad. I was like Brandon is such a like Awesome guys such a has so many unique things to say and stuff and I was like, I can't and I remember you telling how you always wanted to start a podcast was in the right time Or it wasn't the right person or whatever. I was like, it's like I can get Brandon The time I can get Brandon the person So I wanted to make sure that very really on they're like Anything that I was doing or giving to you was For the betterment of your podcast and a lot of value a lot of stuff um So I was happy to be part of it Me too, man. Honestly, I don't know that if um I I mean this like when that happened that situation and I haven't really like talked about on the podcast because That person truly is not worth having a real conversation about I didn't even know if I was going to keep doing it because like out of anger, you know And even my wife was like you need like you need to take a couple of days This isn't something that you just need to fucking yeah pull the trigger on and say that's it um, but uh Yeah, the podcast absolutely wouldn't even be what it is without you 100% and not even just the posts but the the people we've had on the conversations we've had The fact that this is still a podcast 56 episodes later Right is um, it's also a testament to just you and me in general man because like I read something Uh, some point. I don't know how accurate this statistic is because Statistics so but it said On average every new podcast that comes out never makes it past nine episodes and nine episodes is the average number of podcast episodes And uh, you know, we're fucking way past that And so like 66 literally six times past that and um It's so it's just it's cool man. Like I've learned again right expectation management I've learned just how much work this actually is where I suffer the most and doing this is time with my family I don't make any money on this podcast. I have spent way more money on this podcast um that like I will never probably make back unless some miracle happens which is fine because I think again going back to Expectation management. This has been a scratch Or an itch in my brain that I've been able to scratch and that has been the most value And I've said this over and over and over again when we talk is just like the people There are conversations we've had on this podcast of people that I know have changed me for the better The first one was was absolutely Dan Schilling I think I said this several times before the podcast while I say it again that without having Dan Schilling on here I don't know that I would have gone and sought the mental health help that I needed and wasn't going to because If a fucking legend like Dan Schilling could sit here, which is two fucking nerds Noobs at this and say Man, I was fucking leading commandos, but wanted to kill myself like I could take my fucking brown ass and go over the fucking middle Health clinic and get some attention and get some help, you know And um there's been other conversations we've had like the one we just had with Mark divine like that guy is one of his people when he starts talking You show the fuck up and listen And there's that guy has so many incredible things to say but Um, and then even some of our popcorn podcasts Those have always been my most fun podcast like the ones I enjoy the most and you know It sucks as we never did as many as we probably should have And um, you know, it's just I don't know I'm in That's another way that like the podcast Was different than what I thought it would be when I first started. I thought it would be you can have a plan And then it's gonna let go well, but then like yeah life happens people cancel and you're like crap Yeah, figure something out real quick Well that and I I always thought it would be more commentary between me and the whoever the co-host was Rather than guests, you know what I mean? But it's turned into more of a guest thing Which I'm really thankful for too But it's you know as Mike Tyson said everybody got a key into they get here in the mouth So that's what happened dude got hit in the mouth In a final and here I am so but yeah, that's I think those are the biggest changes that are gonna happen um Yeah, and then you know, of course making it to you know the rote rogan level Yeah, that's happening obviously so obviously that's obviously Back on wood All right, there you have one more question. We have never actually finished all our questions for popcorn podcast So this is the first time Which stuff we've just arrived was the last one first the last time as with you right? It's okay. It's the first time we actually did all our questions. We committed to finishing this one too beforehand. We did All right, man. Your your question was like light-hearted and good now Mine's like just back to the fucking the active business as usual Do you think another 9/11 esque attack on the united states is coming Uh, no, I do not okay, and the reason why is actually kind of a short response the reason why okay with that because after 9/11 the us government got really good at prettier say Future 9/11s and I I think the uh, um I don't know the exact number, but since 9/11 there's been I want to say it's like 200 plus 9/11 level like attempts that have been stopped and um so Could it happen? It could but I feel like it'd be much harder now to get something to that degree by a terrorist group or a like paramilitary or any dangerous like that Now you really think that with the way the border is wide open I do I don't think you're going to get that much destroyed. You could you could get like Something still pretty crazy, but it's not going to be that much destruction not that much death But not that much connectedness for like it affected everyone Back student everyone in that the us you'll get something that might affect a region or like a county for a town I don't think you'll get something that will affect the entire United States at least not from something like a paramilitary group or terrorist organization like that Will another mile that have been happened? Probably but it's going to be from a pier It's not going to be from town If there'll be a lot. Yeah, a lot of people Comparing not 11 for harvish like now 11 was that times for harvor but for harvor was an actual Nation at the war. Yeah, i'm coming and getting this the next five 11 is going to be another nation Um, so it'll be more of an equivalent to a per harvor. Yeah in that in that way. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I can agree with what you're saying. Um I feel like there are People here already. I mean we even talked about the video of that guy that was like, you don't know me But you will know who I am You know the arrogant fucking piece of shit I was he like Hezbollah or something like that They ended up because he's an idiot and said that shit on a fucking camera. They caught him. Um And i'll say this too like Yeah, yeah, right this fucking turn his ass in the pink mist Um, but no, I mean we'll never either hear about all the fucking shitheads They actually do catch who we are terrorists probably you know, I wish I wish we would and So I agree because that that comes down to the thing, right where like, um When you have a town That is like got no crime Then that town tends to think the police force isn't needed So that we will like remove the life. You know, okay, you don't use much funny and they crash spikes but if The police force had a way to like explain effectively to like the town Hey, you don't have crime because you need us Yate of what we're doing then it would be better and I see a lot of people who are like Why do we have the fbi? Why do we have tsa or troll? Yeah, why do we have tsa? Why do we have? People as organizations Um We haven't had an 9/11 in 20 plus years what's the point of them like if there's a way to like Articulate better to the people that hey 9/11 number six was stopped this week But I understand how to be careful with the information And she's do know Because then you don't want your adversaries to then kind of get an idea of how you can prevent it or you can stop And I get that but there's got to be a way that you can say Like maybe to sampleize somebody. Yeah, there's gotta be a way Uh-huh I'm trying to find exactly how many 9/11s we've stopped I think that there will be At least some sort of lone wolf style attack I think it's pretty evident that Americans are very capable of tearing out our country without the help of other idiots as well, so There's always that to look forward to I was really low on my number estimated that is over 3,911 type threats have been stopped by website is that fun? This is from the Department of Justice Oh, okay, so incredible Yeah Incredible as a community. I guess I guess they they they keep a track of these I guess there was like the most recent one was stocks in the seattle Portland area Uh, about eight months ago. What the heck? What? You've waited for real. Yeah. Is there details? It doesn't go into real details. It just says that it was Five years old working together to honestly um mass terrorists Act equal to 9/11 in the seattle Portland area. It was thwarted about eight months ago They were still easily planning and it wasn't expected to happen for about another year I Wow How much of that you think is total bullshit? You think it's just the US government fluffing there and like look what we can do You can't get away with anything because we'll study the possibility definitely exists So some like I'm asking like do you think that like every single one of those is actually Real or do you think any of those are fluff like you said It's a prediction. I know it's gonna be a 9/11 level of end Yeah, I mean I guess if you if you knew exactly what the the end goal was whether or not the legitimate Statistics were pieced together or not like if you say oh, yeah, it's possible like Because like you can have a guy say and i'm gonna blow up new york But if he's just a man or reason dude like is that a 9/11 event that you stopped because you Wait, it's just correct Yeah I think there will be another terrorist attack on the United States Um at some point, but I remember I don't learn the 10th anniversary like 2011 there was like a huge rumor going around that Terrorists were gonna fly like single seats as knows with like briefcase nukes over like cities and launch them all I don't like that. I remember people were like thinking. I was like a serious thing. I was like why where are they getting briefcase nukes? - yeah, how are they? like briefcase to briefcase nukes door dumb Amazon right? To a shipping from his garage. Oh, and then we're like one group of the terrorists got didn't get the memo That it was supposed to be next day shipping and they did regular shipping and their fucking Briefcase nukes came a week later and they're like, oh my god. What are you doing? Now we have to do it next week. Oh shit. It's a new year's bomb attack. Not the christmas one anymore. Oh my god It's not as cool it's like it's like the one where It's like a middle eastern woman and she's all came for you. So it's like when your dad comes back from the suicide bomb Oh, yeah, I've seen that dude She's all But you I thought this may be a sense for the war. It's like when you call in sick to your suicide body So you can't do it today. I'm safe. Yeah. Yeah, you can do it today. It's okay. Yeah, you got it You're fine. You have to be cured of the flu right here. Yeah, you'll be sick. You won't be sick afterwards. Yeah, promise Trust me. I'm a doctor Exactly 72 versions 72 versions.
