Speaker 1: Get ready.
Speaker 2: Twentieth day of March twenty twenty six, allegedly according to
Speaker 2: that thing we call the calendar. And all I got
Speaker 2: to say is you ever had one of those days? Yeah? Anyway,
Speaker 2: it is what it is, and what can I say?
Speaker 2: It's been one of those weeks. It seems like we
Speaker 2: did get out the podcast with Larry Hancock. I did
Speaker 2: try to do my Monday show with AM Wake Up,
Speaker 2: and that somehow blew up and it wasn't just me
Speaker 2: because the host disappeared at one point and I was
Speaker 2: alone on the air over there. Anyway, I don't know
Speaker 2: what's going on. It just seems like shockwaves are going
Speaker 2: through different people's internets at different times conveniently, and you know,
Speaker 2: maybe just everything's I don't know, in mercury retrograde or something.
Speaker 2: I haven't checked blately, have you. AnyWho? We are still
Speaker 2: at war, even though nobody wants to call it a war.
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm not covering the news because what
Speaker 2: am I going to say the same thing every time?
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I just cannot do it. So
Speaker 2: I'm here live. We are late, but that's because I
Speaker 2: had to reboot everything and hope that it would work correctly.
Speaker 2: And I still haven't gotten a new computer. I'm still
Speaker 2: not ready to stream with video yet, but I'm working
Speaker 2: on it anyway. I also realized a little while ago
Speaker 2: that I had emails I hadn't gotten to. They got buried.
Speaker 2: I'm just having a disastrous week. Nothing is quite going easy,
Speaker 2: and everything that could fall over get knocked over. Give
Speaker 2: me a problem, get in my way, irritate or aggravate
Speaker 2: me well, irritation. Aggravation is today, for sure. I actually
Speaker 2: had a couple of days where I felt good, but
Speaker 2: nothing worked out the way I thought it would any
Speaker 2: given day. And I'm wondering maybe that's a theme. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's the theme. Maybe that's what you want to talk
Speaker 2: to me about. But if you don't be Pete is here.
Speaker 2: It's Friday night. We're gonna go for you know, two
Speaker 2: hours for sure. Uh. And that's the way it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: So three one nine five two seven five zero one six,
Speaker 2: that's the normal number to call in. I'm hoping we'll
Speaker 2: be live on Rumble at the beginning of April, uh,
Speaker 2: somewhere at the beginning of April. And and you know,
Speaker 2: you'll see a phone number up there and you'll see
Speaker 2: me and be Pete at the same time. But I
Speaker 2: don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see
Speaker 2: if I can afford to keep everything up. That's another thing.
Speaker 2: And uh, at the same time, I need a new computer,
Speaker 2: and uh, who knows, maybe I need a new internet
Speaker 2: service provider. So a lot of things to figure out.
Speaker 2: But also I noticed nobody's really, uh really downloading a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff lately, so mine. So it is what
Speaker 2: it is. It was what it was, and we're live.
Speaker 2: What can I do? Be Pete, How's how's your been?
Speaker 1: Well, it's been pretty good. We've been Uh, first part
Speaker 1: of the week we had winter again. I mean it's
Speaker 1: been down in the thirties every night, but that we
Speaker 1: can have for warm weather we had has kicked everybody's George.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 1: Already started on my pub the money job for the
Speaker 1: for the season, currently clearing out behind a garage about
Speaker 1: thirty feet there's nothing but briars and trees and you
Speaker 1: name it. So that's a two day job. I should
Speaker 1: finish it up tomorrow. And we started rewiring the entire garage,
Speaker 1: so pulling out romex from back in the nineteen fifties
Speaker 1: and rewiring all the outlets, all the lights, having to
Speaker 1: redo it, which lows home improvement. Your prices are too high.
Speaker 1: I went in there yesterday expecting to get rid of
Speaker 1: about one hundred. It cost me two fifty. It's ridiculous. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, other than that, I haven't been watching the
Speaker 1: news much.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well I was just going to say that the
Speaker 2: watch Yeah, right, But but you are a part of
Speaker 2: the news because here you go you find that you're
Speaker 2: overpaying for everything. You know, you have an estimate in
Speaker 2: your mind. You go out, you think, okay, it should
Speaker 2: cost me this, and it doesn't matter if it's groceries,
Speaker 2: a trip to McDonald's, or a trip to home depot. Really,
Speaker 2: what you should do in your brain at this point
Speaker 2: is double it. Because all prices are doubled for different reasons,
Speaker 2: whether it's tariffs or it's uh, you know, the oil
Speaker 2: scarcity or fear of oil scarcity because of what's going
Speaker 2: on in the Middle East. Every price is doubled and
Speaker 2: they weren't exactly low to begin with, so it shouldn't
Speaker 2: be a sudden shock, and yet it is. And it's
Speaker 2: kind of weird. And we were told, you know, it's
Speaker 2: our patriotic duty as usual. But you know, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my problem is buying wire on the price that
Speaker 1: copper is up so high now, right that to buy
Speaker 1: two hundred feet of romex to rewire everything, you know,
Speaker 1: you're looking at about one hundred and seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: with tax. And that's even at the cheap places. So
Speaker 1: you know, it's which is strange because they quit Minton pennies.
Speaker 1: You would think that would free up a lot of
Speaker 1: copper on the market, but no, it's it's through the roof.
Speaker 1: So I mean you have to literally check prices every
Speaker 1: three days.
Speaker 2: Well, they weren't using.
Speaker 1: The retailers deal with any kind of electrical stuff.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: That's the funny thing about pennies is really people should
Speaker 2: hang on to their pennies if they're older, because they
Speaker 2: stop making copper pennies a while ago. Those things aren't copper.
Speaker 2: They haven't been for quite some time. Right there, there's
Speaker 2: so muchy.
Speaker 1: But well they're they're they're well they're using well look
Speaker 1: they're using Uh, isn't copper over zinc or something?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Mostly over zinc, which is you know, so it's
Speaker 2: very little they used to just make them out of copper.
Speaker 2: The pennies.
Speaker 1: I read something that something like ninety ninety two percent
Speaker 1: of all the copper that's been mind is still in
Speaker 1: news hum because it's the number one recycled material.
Speaker 2: Well that's the other thing.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of copper. Yeah, got all the copper's
Speaker 1: been behind over the years.
Speaker 2: Well you think about all the crack and meth heads
Speaker 2: that have yanked the copper out of buildings and brought
Speaker 2: it somewhere and had it recycled, righty tons of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, not to mention legitimate you know construction guys
Speaker 2: and you know your boss tells you got to recycle that,
Speaker 2: bring that back. I mean I used to work for
Speaker 2: a window guy and that was one of our main
Speaker 2: jobs actually, was bringing stuff to the salvage at the
Speaker 2: end of every job. You know, the old crap they
Speaker 2: want to just hauled away. When you know on big
Speaker 2: especially commercial or institutional buildings, they don't care what you
Speaker 2: do with it. But you know the guy who's doing
Speaker 2: the job, if he's smart, he definitely dispatches you know,
Speaker 2: two fools, pays them a low wage to go bring
Speaker 2: everything to the scrapyard and recycle it and we come back.
Speaker 2: You know, he pays us twenty bucks bring him back
Speaker 2: on a small job, even three four hundred dollars worth
Speaker 2: of salvage at a minimum, right, So I mean he's
Speaker 2: got to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Back in the eighties, my parents had bought a
Speaker 1: house back in the seventies, and in the eighties they
Speaker 1: decided it was time to put a new roof on it. It
Speaker 1: had a slate roof and they wanted to put just
Speaker 1: normal shingles on it. So they went to the house.
Speaker 1: They took the down spouts down. All the down spouts
Speaker 1: and guns were copper. They took the roof off a
Speaker 1: side porch that was all copper, re roofed it, roof
Speaker 1: the house. Even when they had storm windows put in.
Speaker 1: We saved all of the screens that used to be
Speaker 1: on the original house. They were all copper. All the
Speaker 1: window screens. We got done, got it all together and
Speaker 1: took it down. A solder for scrapping it more than
Speaker 1: paid for the new roof on the entire house. Checking
Speaker 1: the copper and a couple of houses. There was a
Speaker 1: house down the road from my parents' house, about two
Speaker 1: minsiles and it's right next to the tail end of
Speaker 1: a pond, and it's isolated. And the guy that owned
Speaker 1: it he built it for his mom, and his mom
Speaker 1: eventually had to go into nursing home. So it sat
Speaker 1: there vacant for a while. Somebody went in and stole
Speaker 1: all the copper out of it, so he replumbed it.
Speaker 1: They went and instole a copper out of it again,
Speaker 1: so then he did it with PBC. He said, forget copper,
Speaker 1: we'll put PBC in it. So then they started stealing
Speaker 1: the air conditioner units, get the copper out of those.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Finally he had to put he had to rent it
Speaker 1: out and put somebody in it just to keep the
Speaker 1: people from stealing. And they probably steal there got a
Speaker 1: copper in it three or four times. I mean they
Speaker 1: would pull a wire all the plumbing, everything for the inside,
Speaker 1: the air conditioners. I it was a mess.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but it.
Speaker 1: Seems amazing how high the prices have gotten. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's if it's going to keep being recycled, it's you
Speaker 1: would think at one point the price would go down
Speaker 1: a little bit, but not to be. So by the
Speaker 1: time I get ready to go make another two hundred
Speaker 1: foot purchase. It could be up as much as two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a dollar a foot. Usually when you buy
Speaker 1: as much as two hundred, you get a price break.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, some places that used to sell it bulk, if
Speaker 1: you bought it over like one hundred to one thousand feet,
Speaker 1: they'd give you a price of about forty seven cents
Speaker 1: a foot. So you're going to pay a bucket foot
Speaker 1: or more from here on out.
Speaker 2: Well, see more than that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just see the yard working and hind
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get ready for its spring now I
Speaker 1: guess it's officially spring, so well, it's seated into the season.
Speaker 2: It seems to me. Look, every once in a while
Speaker 2: there are shifts in the American retail and commercial mindset, right,
Speaker 2: and I think that that finally in America, basically, they've
Speaker 2: they've taken an attitude of you know what, if we
Speaker 2: don't give them any sort of break at all, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. We'll still have customers. Like it used to
Speaker 2: be about, I want loyalty from a customer over somebody else,
Speaker 2: So they would take care of you extra. They would,
Speaker 2: you know, give you a price break, and it didn't
Speaker 2: matter what it was, whether it was food or whether
Speaker 2: it was you know, metal or like there were even
Speaker 2: guys when it okay. So I did scrap work with
Speaker 2: people where we would just go around cleaning up stuff
Speaker 2: and getting rid of things that these guys couldn't get
Speaker 2: rid of at the scrapyards, you know, like they didn't
Speaker 2: have time to do this or whatever. So we just
Speaker 2: go and pick it up and get rid of it
Speaker 2: right different places, like if you had a mechanic shop,
Speaker 2: Like certain mechanic shops, they don't want to bother with
Speaker 2: sending somebody out to go to the scrapyard, so they
Speaker 2: just turn around and give it to somebody that look,
Speaker 2: you come here every Thursday pick up all my crap,
Speaker 2: you know, stuff like that. And I would work with
Speaker 2: guys who did that, and you know, cause I couldn't drive,
Speaker 2: so they had the truck. Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I know a couple of guys. This one guy in particular,
Speaker 1: he goes and looks new construction, especially highway widenings and
Speaker 1: things like that, and what he does is he goes
Speaker 1: in with the contract or whoever gets the job to
Speaker 1: tear out all these lines, cable lines, telecommunication lines, you
Speaker 1: name it. He goes in for the wire that they're
Speaker 1: gonna tear down, and he strips the copper out of
Speaker 1: it and resells it. And the guy he's doing well
Speaker 1: enough that he gets himself a new vet every time
Speaker 1: a new model comes out, so and pays cash for him.
Speaker 1: He's doing very well. Noticed a lot of these construction companies,
Speaker 1: even on heavy construction like highway. We tore out the
Speaker 1: last job I was on, we tore out like five bridges,
Speaker 1: and every one of those bridges when they tore out
Speaker 1: the slabs, they had to bring in a track with
Speaker 1: a scissor well a head on it to crush up
Speaker 1: the concrete so that they could recycle the rebar. And
Speaker 1: they haul tractor trailer dumpsters there but twisted up rebar
Speaker 1: from whether they destroyed all these old culverts, all these
Speaker 1: old bridge decks and things like that. So a lot
Speaker 1: of these landfills have put restrictions. They'll take certain things,
Speaker 1: but they've got to be clean. They'll take the concrete
Speaker 1: if all the metals out of it. They'll take the
Speaker 1: metal if all the concrete's off of it. And they
Speaker 1: have turned it in now to bout recycle everything on
Speaker 1: a job now very little that you know, other than
Speaker 1: the normal trash debris, there's very little of it that
Speaker 1: hits a landfill anymore, as they're finding some of these
Speaker 1: for it well.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. Now, the scrap yards have gone
Speaker 2: to telling you to break it all down because they
Speaker 2: don't want to hire people to do it. Like I literally,
Speaker 2: you know, I knew guys. Their whole job was to
Speaker 2: cut up old tires. That was their whole job. They
Speaker 2: just cut up all tires all day. And you take
Speaker 2: the chunks of rubbers, yeah, goo ahead.
Speaker 1: They're even using. So there's a couple of asphalt plants
Speaker 1: in the state that recycle tires and they'll put that
Speaker 1: mix right back into their asphalt as a way of
Speaker 1: recycling the rubber right and it makes it. It's a
Speaker 1: hell of a product to work with. But they have
Speaker 1: found like old shingles, old shingles, they'll use an asphalt
Speaker 1: because once it goes through the process, it burns that
Speaker 1: paper out of it and you still get all of
Speaker 1: the bitumens, the tar and everything that's in it, and
Speaker 1: you get the fine aggregate off the shingles. So they
Speaker 1: can replace stuff that they would normally get from a
Speaker 1: quarry to mixed fines in their mix by using this
Speaker 1: asphalt mix. And that is the stickiest damn stuff I've
Speaker 1: ever to see it by life. You can't blow it
Speaker 1: off with a pressure water dawn. Here you almost have
Speaker 1: sand blasted off something. But they have found uses for
Speaker 1: damn near everything that you could want to throw away
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: And it's a good thing because, like I said, I
Speaker 2: observe the evolution of this. But even with all that
Speaker 2: in mind, where you'd think, okay, and you know there's
Speaker 2: money being saved in labor, there's more money being saved
Speaker 2: in you know, different steps. Some people say, well it's
Speaker 2: more expensive to recycles or that, Yeah it is, but
Speaker 2: if you take into account that you cut a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of middlemen out of the process, then it doesn't
Speaker 2: cost more because that's how you save the money. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like, if we bring you know,
Speaker 2: let's just say you and I we tear down any
Speaker 2: kind of building, and we're supposed to demolish the whole thing,
Speaker 2: and then we haul nearly every piece of it but
Speaker 2: broken down. Okay, here's all the steel, here's all of this,
Speaker 2: here's all that we bring it to a scrap yard.
Speaker 2: They'll tell us, look, go dump it over here, go
Speaker 2: dump it over there. They'll make you offload it even
Speaker 2: after they weigh it on a scale. Right, you know,
Speaker 2: you bring them a truckload and they go, okay, how
Speaker 2: much is your truckway? And then they just add to okay,
Speaker 2: now how much does this way? Or they do it
Speaker 2: the other way where it's like you dump it off
Speaker 2: and then they figure out, okay, your truck weigh this
Speaker 2: after you offloaded your cement or whatever, and then they
Speaker 2: know exactly how much you brought in because it's the
Speaker 2: difference in the truck weight. Right, And there you go
Speaker 2: and I mean, but you saved them, you know, three steps. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: goo ahead.
Speaker 1: And then they even go so far as to like
Speaker 1: when they resurface roads, they'll go in and mill up
Speaker 1: so many inches and take off of it. At one time,
Speaker 1: that was that was waste that the asphalt company had
Speaker 1: to get rid of, right, And so they started lobbying
Speaker 1: these states for the mixtures that they would allow. And
Speaker 1: some mixtures now they are lacked out up to what
Speaker 1: is it fifty one or fifty two last fault, So
Speaker 1: you're no state buys asphalt for their roadways. They rented
Speaker 1: because they paid a contractor to put it down, and
Speaker 1: then when it comes time to resurface it, they pay
Speaker 1: them to mill it up. But the contractor it's to
Speaker 1: keep the millings and take them back and put them
Speaker 1: in the new mix at reg of fifty one percent
Speaker 1: and put it right back down as new asphalt. So
Speaker 1: you're renting it. You never buy anything when it comes
Speaker 1: to building highways. But it's amazing how much of that
Speaker 1: you know used to It was they would sell the
Speaker 1: stuff for people to put in their driveways, or they
Speaker 1: would use it to put on shoulders of roads because
Speaker 1: you could compact it and it would stay there dinner
Speaker 1: road out like normal dirt or soil or gravel exactly.
Speaker 1: But now if I wanted to buy two dump truck
Speaker 1: loads to put in my driveway, it would cost me
Speaker 1: a fortune because they consider that just like the liquid
Speaker 1: asphalt that they have to put in the meal mixed.
Speaker 1: When you can cut your mixed fifty one it's been
Speaker 1: ground up and it's been on the road for ten years,
Speaker 1: you're saving yourself a ton of money. But the price
Speaker 1: never goes down. I've noticed even with the recycled mixes,
Speaker 1: the price is always continuing going up per square yard
Speaker 1: or per ton. You know, how are you pay for it? Right?
Speaker 1: It's just amazing. It's all this recycled craft, which really
Speaker 1: is it's a good thing because it they can use
Speaker 1: it as a recycled item, but it's a bad thing
Speaker 1: because you don't get the quality of asphalt we used
Speaker 1: to have, right, because now it's half recycled stuff in
Speaker 1: the life of the tumens that are in it. And
Speaker 1: basically when they build a road, when you have an
Speaker 1: oil well and you pump down to the bottom of
Speaker 1: that well, all the sludge that's in the bottom that
Speaker 1: doesn't come out as liquid petroleum is the tumens and
Speaker 1: that's what they use to make highways out of. And
Speaker 1: it's very expensive and because you got to get it
Speaker 1: out of the bottom of the well, so hey, we'll
Speaker 1: just recycle it so you get a good aspect of it,
Speaker 1: But then you get a bad aspect of it. Your
Speaker 1: roads don't last as long, so you're repaving every seven
Speaker 1: years as opposed to every ten in years, right, so
Speaker 1: your cost goes up there. It's a trade off and
Speaker 1: I don't really see where it's saving us any money
Speaker 1: when it's given us a worse product.
Speaker 2: Well, because it doesn't see that's the point of shrinkflation
Speaker 2: in general. And I can bring it down to candy bars.
Speaker 2: It's the same stupid thing, you know, like you go
Speaker 2: to Okay, you go to your dollar tree.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: You used to be able to buy six little mini
Speaker 2: Hershey bars right for a buck, and that was great,
Speaker 2: six little mini Hershey bars. It wasn't quite as good
Speaker 2: as like a big Hershey bar you bought fresh somewhere,
Speaker 2: but you're paying a dollar for it, and all other
Speaker 2: candy bars are over a dollar. Right. Well, after a
Speaker 2: while they took it down to five and you bought
Speaker 2: it for a dollar. Then they went to this dollar
Speaker 2: twenty nine thing where you know, gee, thirty percent, we're
Speaker 2: just gonna add thirty percent to the price of everything.
Speaker 2: And now you know, missus O brought me the other
Speaker 2: day four little mini Hershey candy bars in a package
Speaker 2: for a dollar twenty nine. That's literally the microcosm of
Speaker 2: the of the progression of all things. Now, if I
Speaker 2: were to eat candy bars at a certain rate, little
Speaker 2: mini Hershey candy bars, because I just want a little
Speaker 2: taste of its chocolate now and then you know, I can
Speaker 2: get it, but I can get it, yeah, a little
Speaker 2: less often, so I have to buy it a little
Speaker 2: more often, and I'm paying more for it. And that
Speaker 2: is the model. That is the business model. Now yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1: Up in Jersey, did you guys have the Little Debbie
Speaker 1: snap snack cakes?
Speaker 2: Yes, all right?
Speaker 1: Remember when you could buy them for thirty five cent?
Speaker 2: Well I remember, okay, I remember Little Debbie at two
Speaker 2: for a dollar. I gotta be honest with you. That's
Speaker 2: what I remember is they they were great because every
Speaker 2: other cake, right, your Drakes, your host is tasty Cake.
Speaker 2: They were all like, say a dollar, and Little Debbie
Speaker 2: was two for a dollar. Now, the Little Debbie cake
Speaker 2: was smaller, but you got two of them for the
Speaker 2: price of one of the other ones, who was supposed
Speaker 2: to be the better brand. And that was the way
Speaker 2: it was. So you could either eat the Little Debbie
Speaker 2: and they had everything like a cupcake, you know, sort
Speaker 2: of like a Drake's or whatever, and a Tasty Cake
Speaker 2: had their own style until they sold them the formula
Speaker 2: for hostess cakes or whatever. But well that's the way.
Speaker 1: We're a cats hall where they had them two for
Speaker 1: three bucks.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Now I used to buy the little Swiss rolls, which
Speaker 1: was the chocolate covered short rolls. And then they had
Speaker 1: what was called coffee cake or snack cake yep, and
Speaker 1: it was two pieces in a pact. They were thirty
Speaker 1: five cent a piece. Honey buns started out thirty five
Speaker 1: and then they went up to fifty cent.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, now you get them like two for three bucks.
Speaker 1: So that's my my check on inflation is frozen pizzas
Speaker 1: and little Debbie cakes whatever they've got them now right
Speaker 1: the sky high.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing. Now, little Debbie cakes. Now
Speaker 2: you go look at you know, your little hostess or whatever.
Speaker 2: Your cake is like twenty five to thirty percent smaller
Speaker 2: on the hostess, and they're charging you like two fifty
Speaker 2: right for one of those instead of two is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hostess. You're lucky to find hostess two for
Speaker 1: four bucks.
Speaker 2: Right. So I haven't bought a hostess in a long
Speaker 2: I haven't gone in and just bought some hostess. Cot.
Speaker 2: I think I did it like once a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, when I was going somewhere and I happened
Speaker 2: that there was like no way it was going to
Speaker 2: be home or anything. For a while, I might have
Speaker 2: done it when I was on the road with you,
Speaker 2: where I bought like like a couple of Hostess cakes.
Speaker 2: But generally speaking, I won't touch them because, like you said,
Speaker 2: two for four year, you're lucky, and two fifty for
Speaker 2: one is normal, And like I said, it's only seventy
Speaker 2: five percent of the thing I used to get for
Speaker 2: a dollar exactly.
Speaker 1: And where I go, i'd usually get two slices of
Speaker 1: pizza for four bucks as opposed to two snack cakes.
Speaker 1: They all with that.
Speaker 2: Well, now see, now here's the other thing, pizza. No
Speaker 2: matter where you went, no matter what the quality was,
Speaker 2: it was like three dollars and you got a drink
Speaker 2: and two slices. Right, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Falling up now. I thinks Speedway's got it now is it?
Speaker 1: Four bucks for two slices and a drink? Of course,
Speaker 1: they just had pie Day back on the fourteenth for
Speaker 1: three fourteen and you could get a full large piece
Speaker 1: of for three dollars from fourteen cent. So I snagged
Speaker 1: a couple of them, threw them in the freezer. I
Speaker 1: bet we'll bake them on my own. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's it's amazing what things are costing now, and it's
Speaker 1: I don't. I've been watching it food line and really
Speaker 1: checking prices on stuff, and I've only seen the items.
Speaker 1: Prices go down on just a few items. Most everything
Speaker 1: is thirty percent more than it was a year ago
Speaker 1: or a year and a half ago. And it's not
Speaker 1: gone down a bit. And yet that's a big thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, when catch up those up thirty percent from
Speaker 1: ninety nine cent to a buck thirty nine, Give me
Speaker 1: a break.
Speaker 2: I can't fine catch up for a dollar thirty nine
Speaker 2: year really not not actually getting my hand.
Speaker 1: You need the food line seriously, well in Dollar General.
Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of shopping in Dollar General
Speaker 1: only because they'll undercut. Food line is big enough that
Speaker 1: they probably got the best prices around between them. Pigley Wigan,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna find it any sheep.
Speaker 2: Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, good, we'll undercut them when I buy my
Speaker 1: coffee now at Dollar General because I can get a
Speaker 1: better price there on a box of thirty six cake cups,
Speaker 1: and I can anywhere else.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah for now, But Pigley Wiggly in my area,
Speaker 2: they closed them all. This is how ghetto my place is.
Speaker 2: All the Piggy Wiggly's gone. Now they all got bought
Speaker 2: by this U, B, B and T's fresh Market, which yeah,
Speaker 2: and I never heard of them before. I don't know
Speaker 2: anything about them, but that's who bought them all they got.
Speaker 2: I got their circular in front of me. This is
Speaker 2: why I know this off the top of my head.
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, Macing East East Dublin. Uh, let's see
Speaker 2: where else? Uh Medallia, Georgia. You know all these all
Speaker 2: these like really not closed around my area. They took
Speaker 2: all the Piggy Wigglely locations. Damn yeah, and Pigley Wiggly
Speaker 2: and my see that was the funny thing. Remember when
Speaker 2: we went to Texas and you said, oh, there's a
Speaker 2: Pigley Wigglely over there, and I said, yes, screw it,
Speaker 2: because the Pigley Wiggly in the bad neighborhood over here
Speaker 2: was price gouging. Now they're supposed to be like, uh,
Speaker 2: like you know, owner operators actually work there, right, Isn't
Speaker 2: that the way? That isn't that the model of Pigley Wiggly.
Speaker 2: It's like if you work for pig.
Speaker 1: Owner more IgA. No, that's more of the IgA food stores.
Speaker 1: Piggley Wiggly is still saying they have their regional managers
Speaker 1: and they'll move managers in from out of the area.
Speaker 1: The thing is, once a manager gets in a store
Speaker 1: like over in Kinston. They've got four Pigley Wigglies around
Speaker 1: Kingston or or just out you know, two miles out
Speaker 1: of town in that community, you know, whatever community's out there,
Speaker 1: there's four that you can go to h one of them.
Speaker 1: I think the manager's been there thirty some odd years,
Speaker 1: you know, he's been with that store since god Win.
Speaker 1: But no, they're still That's what surprised me that they
Speaker 1: sold them all down in that area where you are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we've still got I've got one in eight and
Speaker 1: seven miles away. I got the four in Kinston that's
Speaker 1: ten miles or about ten miles away, so we do.
Speaker 1: They're here everywhere. Now, I'm surprised they closed up that
Speaker 1: area of Georgia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. And the funny thing is, when I
Speaker 2: lived in Kinston, you know, the two very closest and
Speaker 2: best stores because for a while we didn't have a car,
Speaker 2: so literally I would walk to get you know, food
Speaker 2: and the best place is to go. I was kind
Speaker 2: of happy because I had a food line right down
Speaker 2: the street, because I was on Washington Avenue and I
Speaker 2: had a food Lion right down the street. Like Washington
Speaker 2: Abue was like the back the backside of that store,
Speaker 2: like we would walk around like if I walked around
Speaker 2: from Washington and went into the back, I was coming
Speaker 2: from behind the store, uh to get to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is we a Dollar General over
Speaker 2: by that long closed freaking yeah. I think it was
Speaker 2: a burger king that was across the street from the
Speaker 2: Kangaroo and next to the Kangaroo was was was what
Speaker 2: a burger king? I think? Yeah, finally they did put
Speaker 2: a burger king. But anyway, in the KFC's down the street.
Speaker 2: But the thing is like in that little area, Pigley
Speaker 2: Wiggily wasn't close. When we had a car, we went
Speaker 2: to Pigley Wiggly and it was okay, but food Line,
Speaker 2: I don't know, was better, like the quality was better
Speaker 2: and the prices were usually better, it seemed like to
Speaker 2: me at food Line and Kim worked there for a
Speaker 2: little bit. She actually worked in the deli, which was funny.
Speaker 2: And Frankie used to go there when he was a baby.
Speaker 2: He probably doesn't even remember but they loved him over
Speaker 2: there because it was like they all wanted to feed
Speaker 2: him like cheese and stuff when he showed up, or
Speaker 2: when I showed up with him in a cart or whatever,
Speaker 2: because I would just walk down the street and go,
Speaker 2: you know, go grab Kim to walk her home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're still showing let's see how far is Jeffersonville
Speaker 1: from you where I.
Speaker 2: Am right now. I don't know Jeffersonville.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Again, remember I don't go manything.
Speaker 1: They show one. They show one in Jeffersonville, which I
Speaker 1: guess is just below Macon, and they show an location
Speaker 1: on Rocky Creek Road in Macon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rocky Creek one is gone. That's what I'm
Speaker 2: telling you. Huh Yeah, because it's now a dam. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's now a b and t's.
Speaker 1: The kay Because I just went to their do where
Speaker 1: their coverage map. They go from Texas. Let's see, they
Speaker 1: go from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Speaker 1: North South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia West for JAF Ohio.
Speaker 1: I didn't know when we were in Ohio. They still
Speaker 1: have some in New York and Illinois and Wisconsin. I
Speaker 1: didn't know they went that far north in New York. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see. Wow, probably upstate they've got them or something
Speaker 1: in Watertown. No, Watertown just above Syracuse.
Speaker 2: Oh, but you know what, that's like a weird area.
Speaker 2: I I could believe anything is there.
Speaker 1: That must be one of those owner operators for him
Speaker 1: to be isolated like that way up in Watertown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. But because they got in Wisconsin, because there
Speaker 2: shouldn't be any in New Jersey. I never saw that
Speaker 2: thing in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's none in Joel. They got a ton of
Speaker 1: them in Wisconsin. Yeah, load all through Milwaukee, Lacrosse, Sheboygan.
Speaker 2: What's funny? Also? Okay, well, what's funny also is really
Speaker 2: the food line to me, because I never saw a
Speaker 2: food line until I got down south. But food Lion
Speaker 2: looks a lot like a shop right up north. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They they started as a local down around Salisbury, and
Speaker 1: then eventually they got bought by some Swedish company, so
Speaker 1: they're actually owned by uh a Sweetish conglomerate now, which
Speaker 1: is strange because they used to be the ones we
Speaker 1: don't advertise to save you money in their advertisements and
Speaker 1: then you know, they would give you a discount if
Speaker 1: you bought your own bags or your own boxes to
Speaker 1: put the groceries in.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that. That's that Aldi's model. Now see Aldi's
Speaker 2: is another thing that's spreading around. And I got to
Speaker 2: tell you they're doing a good job because if you
Speaker 2: want to go off brand, I like my preference, I
Speaker 2: go to Aldi's because you just get.
Speaker 1: Which one have you got? Do you have Legal? L
Speaker 1: I D E l Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I had never heard of that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, they are. They're a big come. They're a big
Speaker 1: competition with Ali over in Europe. Uh, the Legal Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Legals started in Germany. They're one of the biggest,
Speaker 1: uh grocery stores, but they they carry more than just grocery.
Speaker 1: They'll have grocery stores, but then they'll also have like
Speaker 1: walmarts that'll have a home section and a garden section
Speaker 1: and a leedles. Yeah, they're pretty big. But Aldi issues
Speaker 1: over in Europe, they've built them here. The Aldi that
Speaker 1: they built in Kingston didn't do that well. Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1: The parent company for food Line is a hold Bell Hayes,
Speaker 1: which is Weedish no Belgian, Belgium so it's a Belgian company. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, okay. What's funny about Aldi's is when I saw
Speaker 2: Aldis show up in Jersey. Uh, I'm just gonna be blunt.
Speaker 2: It was just the drug addict grocery store is all
Speaker 2: it was. Because it was horrible stuff for dirt cheap
Speaker 2: is what it was. I mean, like they are and.
Speaker 1: Davis Is built built on the premise of being able
Speaker 1: to bring out a whole case of something and set
Speaker 1: it on the shelf, right, so when you go in
Speaker 1: an outa you'll see things still in the case that
Speaker 1: it was shipped in. And they designed their stores to
Speaker 1: handle caseloads so that there's less time stocking shelves. You
Speaker 1: just bring the case out, take the top off of it.
Speaker 1: It's ready to go.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's an ease of manpower. Exactly
Speaker 1: fewer people in an out in store than a normal
Speaker 1: grocery store.
Speaker 2: Well there's that. Plus they don't waste money on bags
Speaker 2: or anything like that either, because that's to bring your
Speaker 2: own bag joint. You know, if you don't bring any bags,
Speaker 2: you're allowed to take some of the boxes. But you
Speaker 2: got to get lucky, you know, you can have the
Speaker 2: empty case boxes, right, but.
Speaker 1: Some of them have bags that you can purchase, right.
Speaker 1: That's we went shopping in Switzer and we would go
Speaker 1: to Albi and Leadle across the river into Germany, and
Speaker 1: we used to we had these two huge nylon soldier
Speaker 1: It was almost like an equipment bag for baseball bat
Speaker 1: bag that you put all your bats in and things
Speaker 1: like that, or your catcher's equipment. Big huge bags yep,
Speaker 1: that we would take in with us. Smartest thing you got,
Speaker 1: the small plastic bags. They would charge you like a
Speaker 1: quarter for each one of those that you got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll sell you bags, but they will not give
Speaker 2: you bag. And then they also have to, you know,
Speaker 2: buy them for a dollar like you know reusables handlesacks,
Speaker 2: they do that too. Yeah, it looks like Jimmy James
Speaker 2: is calling in uh and I want to you know
Speaker 2: what it is. He's in a different part of the country,
Speaker 2: and I don't remember if I ever asked him about
Speaker 2: grocery stores near him before, but I'm wondering what he's got.
Speaker 2: I bet you he's got Kroger, But outside of that,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell else they have in Michigan.
Speaker 1: Do you? Oh, Michigan. I imagine they've got Kroger, They've
Speaker 1: probably got I know, they got Tescos and Costcos and Wells,
Speaker 1: got Sam and Walmart.
Speaker 2: Well, look, no, the big box or Walmart. I mean,
Speaker 2: Walmart's like everywhere now, which is a weird thing to
Speaker 2: me too, because you know, in Jersey, when Walmart was
Speaker 2: coming to Jersey, they made a big deal out of
Speaker 2: it because it was like, We're coming to Jersey finally,
Speaker 2: like they had not been there, and it was sort
Speaker 2: of like the whole rest of the country has Walmart,
Speaker 2: except New Jersey. We haven't tried to do it here.
Speaker 1: Did you guys have did you guys have Giant Markets?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it might have been Giant open Air.
Speaker 2: Oh no, not not something called Giant. No, but they
Speaker 2: had Giant markets, but not it wasn't named Giant. But
Speaker 2: back to this Walmart thing. But to tell you how
Speaker 2: weird the Walmart move was in Jersey, they brought in
Speaker 2: Walmart managers from all over the country, like they had
Speaker 2: them move to Jersey in order to get the stores
Speaker 2: run because they were like these Jersey people, they don't
Speaker 2: they don't understand the way we do business. So they
Speaker 2: brought people from like all over the like literally there
Speaker 2: were guys from like California and Arkansas and freaking Florida
Speaker 2: or wherever the hell else the Walmarts were. And it's
Speaker 2: so funny. The reason why I learned about it is
Speaker 2: because my grandmother went to a Walmart, like when it
Speaker 2: first opened, and this dude who was like a Walmart
Speaker 2: manager guy, like would not leave her alone because she was, like,
Speaker 2: my grandmother looked way younger than she. Like. It was
Speaker 2: so bad. When I was a kid, people were like, oh,
Speaker 2: your mom's pretty hot, and I'm like, yes, my grandmother
Speaker 2: and screw you. And like this dude was like forty,
Speaker 2: she's like sixty, and like she not leave her alone?
Speaker 2: I mean he was like, yeah, no, she was just
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, well that that grandmother was wild.
Speaker 2: That was that was my mother's mother, and she was
Speaker 2: pretty wild. But this dude, though, she winds up dating
Speaker 2: him because she he wouldn't leave her alone. And then
Speaker 2: you get the guy in the house and I start
Speaker 2: talking to him and there was only two things on
Speaker 2: his brain, and it was the whole Walmart team concept
Speaker 2: because he was one of those people they imported from
Speaker 2: somewhere and that in Jesus, and that's all I got. Like,
Speaker 2: so the guys all over me about converting to Christianity.
Speaker 2: Imagine trying to convert a fourteen year old me to
Speaker 2: Christianity or like, and you're the Walmart guy, Like, who's
Speaker 2: twenty years younger than my grandfather. I don't even want
Speaker 2: to me of my mom.
Speaker 1: We well, we moved to North Carolina. We moved among
Speaker 1: several houses only because the housing the way the housing
Speaker 1: market was. My parents bought the first house just to
Speaker 1: get us moved in. Then they started looking for something bigger.
Speaker 1: So they we were there only, you know a couple
Speaker 1: of years, and we moved again to a bigger house.
Speaker 1: And that one had partial basement in it. Well, they
Speaker 1: wanted something bigger, so we were there two years. They
Speaker 1: moved to a much bigger house. Well, we had moved
Speaker 1: here from Salt Lake City, Utah. So when we got
Speaker 1: to the first neighborhood, word got out that there was
Speaker 1: a new family from Salt Lake. So who comes by first?
Speaker 1: The Mormon missionaries. Okay, now my mom, you know, she
Speaker 1: we would take us. We went to Lutheran Church. I
Speaker 1: mean it was decided when I was young where we
Speaker 1: were going we stayed in the Lutheran Church, but she
Speaker 1: got curious when we moved to Salt Lake City and
Speaker 1: she bought a book of Mormon and she read it,
Speaker 1: and then she handed it to everybody, and everybody my
Speaker 1: brother's read it. I read it, you know, and it
Speaker 1: was it was kind of hilarious. But she would she
Speaker 1: would bait these Mormons and start asking them questions about well,
Speaker 1: how come y'all believe this? Or how come and they
Speaker 1: wouldn't really have answers, so they would go, well, we'll
Speaker 1: go back and talk to our our team leader, and
Speaker 1: when we come back by, well we would move. And
Speaker 1: so we moved to the new neighborhood and sure enough,
Speaker 1: the first people to come by were the Mormons. It
Speaker 1: would be the same too that were still doing their
Speaker 1: missionary work, or it would be one of them and
Speaker 1: a new guy, and they'd come up the door and knock,
Speaker 1: and my mom would answer to the door, and it
Speaker 1: looks on their faces like, oh damn, she's got too
Speaker 1: many questions. It was it was like, how quick can
Speaker 1: we get out of here before she corners us on
Speaker 1: something we can't answer. And this went on through four
Speaker 1: different houses the whole time I was growing up through
Speaker 1: junior high in high school. It was hilarious.
Speaker 2: Now you know what's weird about that is many years later,
Speaker 2: because you know, many years later, I moved to Kinston
Speaker 2: and what's totally busig And I'm gonna plump down the
Speaker 2: phone on Jimmy next because I wanted to get to
Speaker 2: him right away. But this story was worth it. But
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I'm the Mormons and it's but it's
Speaker 2: like a cult thing. I don't care. It's a cult anyway. Whatever.
Speaker 2: They don't harm anybody. But that's a cult dude. So
Speaker 2: is the Walmart people, and so is this Jesus dude
Speaker 2: trying to convert me. I'm sorry, I couldn't handle it
Speaker 2: no more. I was like battling with him because I'm like,
Speaker 2: I've read the Bible. Shut up. Because he was like,
Speaker 2: well you haven't read this part of the Bible, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, sure I have. This is what happened, this
Speaker 2: is how it went, this is who it was. And
Speaker 2: the guy would go, h like, you didn't know what
Speaker 2: to do with me. I knew the Bible and still
Speaker 2: told him please leave me alone about it anyway, because
Speaker 2: usually they're like, well you just haven't seen what's in there.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yes I have, I've read it anyway.
Speaker 2: But the weird thing is we moved in Kinston, and
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever mentioned this on air how
Speaker 2: we did it. It was messed up because we just like,
Speaker 2: we got to land in North Carolina somewhere we looked
Speaker 2: on Craigslist for the most affordable place to rent and
Speaker 2: found one showed up. It looked okay, so we took
Speaker 2: it literally after a drive from Jersey, all right, and
Speaker 2: we took it and before we were done unpacking, Like,
Speaker 2: we took the drive from Jersey, then we went back
Speaker 2: to Jersey, grabbed our stuff and brought it back down
Speaker 2: to North Carolina. Okay. But the thing is, before we
Speaker 2: were done unpacking our boxes, you know who was knocking
Speaker 2: at the door? Mormons like, and I'm like what, And
Speaker 2: I'm looking around and I'm going do they really like
Speaker 2: they hate you, don't they? Because they sent you to
Speaker 2: a neighborhood where like we were the only white people
Speaker 2: on the block. Okay, most of these black dudes around
Speaker 2: me are you know, Baptists or disinterested. They sent you
Speaker 2: into the roughest area and you're banging on my door
Speaker 2: quick because you're like, hello, somebody's new. Uh, and I'm
Speaker 2: my guys.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they know. I don't know who
Speaker 1: their lookout is, right.
Speaker 2: Who is their lookout? That's what I want to know
Speaker 2: to look out?
Speaker 1: Or if they call the landlords, they must have a
Speaker 1: list of landlords and go if you got anybody new,
Speaker 1: because like I said, they followed us to four different
Speaker 1: houses that there was because when we moved there, oh,
Speaker 1: well before we moved here, you know, because my mom
Speaker 1: was from Kinston. Yeah, so you talked to neighbors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: before we moved here. We were in Salt Lake City
Speaker 1: in Colorado, and you know, my dad was in the Navy,
Speaker 1: so we calor a lot. But okay, but in a day, okay,
Speaker 1: But I don't believe they would know.
Speaker 2: All right, But I don't believe that they called the landlords.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why because if they did, they
Speaker 2: would have gotten the same name, you know, your name,
Speaker 2: and they would have went, yeah, okay, we know who
Speaker 2: that is already. You know what I'm saying. Like they
Speaker 2: would been like, okay, it's the same family. Probably they
Speaker 2: just moved right, They would know that. So I don't
Speaker 2: think they called, but they got a look.
Speaker 1: At the estate agents or something. They the agents or
Speaker 1: think it's members of the church maybe spread out enough,
Speaker 1: yes the town that they kind of keep an eye
Speaker 1: on the neighborhood. Hey, that house has been vacant. Wait,
Speaker 1: somebody's moved in. Called the missionaries.
Speaker 5: Gip.
Speaker 2: I am had a loss to figure out where the
Speaker 2: Mormon was anywhere near my neighborhood in Kingston. You know
Speaker 2: that in the area there the church.
Speaker 1: The church was way up on Kerry Road. You're kidding me.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know there was a church on.
Speaker 1: The No, it was always up. It was always yeah,
Speaker 1: at the end of Carry Road up there in the
Speaker 1: north uh northwest section of town.
Speaker 5: It was a good.
Speaker 1: Fifteen to twenty minute bike ride from where you were
Speaker 1: to the Mormon church.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's weird.
Speaker 1: They knew where everybody was in town, but yet they
Speaker 1: were on the farthest northwest corner of the I mean,
Speaker 1: they were almost at the CEU limits.
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. Unless they're flying drones daily,
Speaker 2: I don't know how the hell they knew, you know
Speaker 2: what i mean. I'm just saying, because I moved into
Speaker 2: a neighborhood, like I said, only white guy on the block.
Speaker 2: Only only I mean there was like one guy had
Speaker 2: a white girlfriend like blocks away. Other than that, I
Speaker 2: was in a black area period, and if you go
Speaker 2: down the hill, it it got more black. Uh you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So, like, where are the Mormons?
Speaker 2: No nowhere in that neighborhood. For sure, they weren't walking
Speaker 2: around generally. And I would crack up. These guys showed
Speaker 2: up with like a tie and a and a button
Speaker 2: down shirt and like shorts, and I'm like, boy, you
Speaker 2: don't look like you belog here and you're not a cop,
Speaker 2: so who you?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Like I saw him coming. It was the strangest thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, you know that's funny. That's how we
Speaker 1: ended up going to a looping church. When I was little,
Speaker 1: we had moved. My parents lived in and Diego, and
Speaker 1: then they went up to Bremerton, Washington, where they built
Speaker 1: the USS King and my dad was one of the
Speaker 1: plank owners. He was one of the original crew that
Speaker 1: took it out shakedown cruise and then it got reassigned
Speaker 1: back down to Naval Basis San Diego once they got
Speaker 1: down the building the ship.
Speaker 2: But again, I want to go to Washington. I want
Speaker 2: to get to Jimmy James. Hang on, look, I appreciate
Speaker 2: all these details, but I want to get to Jimmy
Speaker 2: James because I've been keeping them on hold. I want
Speaker 2: to get to them. But really, the only funny thing is,
Speaker 2: and then you got to tell me later how long
Speaker 2: it took before the Jehovah's Witnesses showed up, Because that's
Speaker 2: a separate come and they do not show up too
Speaker 2: far behind or in front of like they seem to
Speaker 2: coming together. I wonder if they have a network like
Speaker 2: the Mormon and Jehovah's witness just you know, in former
Speaker 2: network and they tell them both well.
Speaker 1: I wonder Jehovah Witnesses are kind of a regular thing
Speaker 1: because they've always got a new issue of Watchtower to
Speaker 1: sell you for donations.
Speaker 2: Of Well, they give you the Watchtower, right, but then
Speaker 2: they tell you, but we have books you can buy anyway. Jimmy,
Speaker 2: let's get to Jimmy before we go off on that tangent. Jimmy,
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about the grocery stores in Michigan.
Speaker 2: But maybe you have Mormons that pop up instantly when
Speaker 2: you move into a new place story. But I find
Speaker 2: it funny that they should not be in that neighborhood,
Speaker 2: and yet they're like, hello, you just got here. Join
Speaker 2: our church anyway. How you doing, man?
Speaker 5: Just get over to the bad weather.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you're feeling better.
Speaker 5: Now these Mormons.
Speaker 2: You've read that right, I'm sorry. What about the Mormons?
Speaker 2: I didn't understand.
Speaker 6: And you know they've been a long relationship with odio
Speaker 6: huh withoo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't quite follow that either, b Pete. What
Speaker 2: do you mean there, Jimmy, break it down for us.
Speaker 5: You really don't know that the CIA worked with the
Speaker 5: the I a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No, no, I know about them. No,
Speaker 2: I know about them working with the EL.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I know about them working with the intelligence agencies. They
Speaker 2: work with a lot of religious organizations. Yes, no, I
Speaker 2: didn't understand what you said. I didn't understand what you
Speaker 2: just said. I understand what you're saying, but I didn't
Speaker 2: understand it when you said it. That's what the problem was.
Speaker 2: I heard something about Odioke and I went, what is that?
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't recognize it. So but no, of course, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all. But yeah, of course they always work with
Speaker 2: Intel agencies, like I swear to you, the scientologists are deep,
Speaker 2: deep into the agencies, the scientologists, right, what do you think.
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 7: Maybe not?
Speaker 5: Now they were at war with.
Speaker 8: Up to the eighties because pro Tex purposes things and
Speaker 8: they're pretty reliably anti government to scientilitists, I will give
Speaker 8: them that.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's the smoke screen. To be honest
Speaker 2: with you, I think they're deep in with them because
Speaker 2: they have the same types of procedures. They seem to
Speaker 2: be well protected when it comes to doing a lot
Speaker 2: of things, and they're made to look at I think
Speaker 2: they're a controlled opposition. They're made to look like opposition,
Speaker 2: but they're not. I really feel that way. They're not
Speaker 2: legitimately anti government. They're anti don't get into our business,
Speaker 2: but they just don't want the public to know what's what.
Speaker 2: I think they're supported by various aspects of our intelligence apparatus,
Speaker 2: to be honest, but that's my opinion.
Speaker 1: Don stand Hope doun stand Hope gets into Scientology and
Speaker 1: how they operate. He says, it's just like a government agency.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is, but you know, look, it's
Speaker 2: an opinion. What can I say. I can't prove it.
Speaker 2: But anyways, but do you want to talk about the
Speaker 2: grocery stores? Do you want to talk about Jovah's witnesses
Speaker 2: or Mormons or what?
Speaker 5: Oh I'll give some witnesses witness state it's about those
Speaker 5: Mormons and this oh turn any sure? Uh it's see yeah,
Speaker 5: those Mormons and what's to deal with them? And Howard
Speaker 5: Hughes his company.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, that's a good question.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. We didn't put up with Mormons
Speaker 2: and Jersey. We had Jehovah's Witnesses, but we I never
Speaker 2: saw it, like I went to a Mormon church at all.
Speaker 2: They were allowed to exist, but they never tried going
Speaker 2: around to people in Jersey to like recruit you. That
Speaker 2: was not the way it was done in Jersey. But
Speaker 2: Jehovah's witnesses they would go to whole apartment complexes, whole developments,
Speaker 2: hold sections of town. They would you know, paper everything.
Speaker 2: But the Mormons not so much in Jersey, but down
Speaker 2: here they run free. I don't know, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know why. But in Jersey they they didn't even
Speaker 2: bother anymore. And h like I said, I even went
Speaker 2: to a Mormon church for for my cub Scout days
Speaker 2: because that's where the local troop was. And uh, and
Speaker 2: I had a couple of cousins that were Mormons on
Speaker 2: my mother's side. My mother's side is psychotic. There's such
Speaker 2: a weird mix of people on that side of the family.
Speaker 2: It's totally bizarre. But anyway, Yeah, so Hermans did not
Speaker 2: go over well if they I never ever saw them
Speaker 2: in all the years I lived in Jersey, I never
Speaker 2: saw them knock on a door. Joe's witnesses though now
Speaker 2: they they would just it seemed like there was a
Speaker 2: season for them, and I can't recall what season it was,
Speaker 2: but boy, they were out during certain seasons, two seasons,
Speaker 2: I think a year they had where it was just like, okay,
Speaker 2: everybody go out and they would just be all over everything.
Speaker 2: Even though there wasn't hardly any of them in your town.
Speaker 2: They'd come and knocking on your door in Jersey, but Mormons, Nope, Nope.
Speaker 2: You were more likely to have random avon lady bang
Speaker 2: on your door in Jersey than you were to ever
Speaker 2: see a Mormon.
Speaker 1: K I haven't seen in a long time as an
Speaker 1: avon lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember that, I'm still in business, you know, I
Speaker 2: know that they have catalog stuff like that, and there's
Speaker 2: like a whole makeup thing. Was it Cover Girl or
Speaker 2: maybe Lean, one of those well known makeup companies still
Speaker 2: does it. But man Avon ladies were a thing when
Speaker 2: I was a kid in Jersey. Was like yikes, I
Speaker 2: mean it was like that was like a cult pyramid schime.
Speaker 5: It's like, hey, guys, remember you guys remember those sea monkeys?
Speaker 4: Right? Oh, you know what.
Speaker 2: I saw a thing on that recently. I saw a
Speaker 2: thing on that recently. They were in every comic book, right,
Speaker 2: every single comic book and magazine had the little sea monkeys.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, did you see what they were supporting? Did
Speaker 5: you see what they ran?
Speaker 2: I started, but now I started to see these articles.
Speaker 2: Now I'll let you tell them because I see some
Speaker 2: confusion about it. Tell me what you saw in the articles,
Speaker 2: because it's it is hilarious.
Speaker 5: God, well, that's the craziest thing. So yeah, every comic book,
Speaker 5: if you ever bought a comic book in the twentieth century,
Speaker 5: in the back of the thing you seem certain for
Speaker 5: sale ads, right, pep Dray glasses. Except and one thing
Speaker 5: that was always there was these sea monkeys. Well, anyway,
Speaker 5: turns up that they ran it. To say the least,
Speaker 5: this is a real shady operation. It turns out a
Speaker 5: bunch of the money was gone to the White Nazi
Speaker 5: Brotherhood or some such thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it like literally, he's right. I wanted to
Speaker 2: see what he would say, but he's right, that's exactly
Speaker 2: where it was going. It is hilarious because it's true.
Speaker 2: It was comic books and like trashy stuff that kids
Speaker 2: would buy. Mad Magazine I think even had it for
Speaker 2: a bit, uh you know, Crack Magazine, all that crap.
Speaker 2: Anything that was like a comic or comic adjacent sort
Speaker 2: of magazine. You always saw X ray Bax. A little
Speaker 2: earlier on they had the you can run your own business,
Speaker 2: little kid. We'll sell you seeds and you can go
Speaker 2: around trying to sell seeds to people door to the door.
Speaker 2: It was psychotic.
Speaker 1: And then they had this like if you company, yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. They were big fundraisers. They even did the
Speaker 1: fundraisers in schools, right.
Speaker 2: And then you had this other thing where it was
Speaker 2: like if you sell enough stuff, we'll give you a bicycle.
Speaker 2: Like all that. Anyway, along with these ads X ray
Speaker 2: specs like Jimmy said always these damn sea monkeys, and
Speaker 2: they were always a freaking disappointment. And somehow they I
Speaker 2: don't know how they paid for all that advertising. It
Speaker 2: had to cost a fortune, but they paid for advertising
Speaker 2: to literally be everywhere, so you're seeing sea monkeys. You
Speaker 2: can have these little sea monkeys. I mean, South Park
Speaker 2: did a thing on this once, but it's pretty funny,
Speaker 2: but it's hilarious that it was a real life thing,
Speaker 2: and like it was one of those things that baffled
Speaker 2: kids because it's like these suck. We always knew they
Speaker 2: would suck, and somebody would always buy them anyway because
Speaker 2: they were cheap, and like you could literally put a
Speaker 2: dollar bill or two dollar bills in a freaking envelope
Speaker 2: and they would mail them to you.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: They collected money any which way they could, and nobody
Speaker 2: ever knew where where they were coming from or anything.
Speaker 2: It was like always a weird mystery, like the sea
Speaker 2: monkey po box was not connected to the building where
Speaker 2: the sea monkeys were packaged. Even it was always a
Speaker 2: weird thing, all right, But you always got your sea monkeys.
Speaker 2: They always sucked, and they were just bride shrimp. You
Speaker 2: put them in water and they kind of come alive
Speaker 2: and they float around and look at you and die.
Speaker 5: That's all they do.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: I think that's where I got my first set of
Speaker 1: Mexican jumping beams was through a comic book ad.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, there's another thing box.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the little remember the little plastic cases
Speaker 1: that they were like one inch square and they had
Speaker 1: a little clip the two pieces, the two knots on
Speaker 1: the one side. When you closed it, they would click
Speaker 1: together and you'd pop them open. Well, I came in
Speaker 1: one of those with some cotton in the bottom and
Speaker 1: two Mexican jumping beans in there.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, I never I remember the ad for the
Speaker 2: Mexican jumping beans. I don't remember, because you know, kids
Speaker 2: would call Hispanic kids Mexican jumping beans, by the way,
Speaker 2: just to insault them. But I don't remember anybody order
Speaker 2: a nose but the damn.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's where I got my first ones.
Speaker 2: Okay, but I know nothing about these things. I don't
Speaker 2: know what they actually do. Nothing. But it was weird
Speaker 2: because there was all these little mini ads and there'd
Speaker 2: be like a page with like somehow they divided it
Speaker 2: into like I don't know how many ads like what
Speaker 2: three across and four down or something, twelve ads on
Speaker 2: a page.
Speaker 1: Remember the one the One Man Submarine, And it turned
Speaker 1: out it was cardboard. I heard a hardboard box and
Speaker 1: put together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard about it, but I never ordered it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, you expect to get a real
Speaker 3: sub and it's cardboard.
Speaker 1: Can't even get it wet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But that was the fun part about this thuff.
Speaker 2: You knew it was all bogus crap, but somehow somebody
Speaker 2: would get into it and be like, well, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get X racepecs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Stupid picture of the guy's hand. He was holding his
Speaker 1: hand up and he'd see the bones in his hand.
Speaker 2: Right, you can see the bones in his hand. I
Speaker 2: can see the little drawing now right, No, I remember that.
Speaker 2: That's true. It had the little bones in the hand.
Speaker 2: And meanwhile they didn't do anything. Probably hurt your eyes
Speaker 2: off your hormong.
Speaker 1: It was two pieces of cardboard where the lenses are
Speaker 1: that had a swirl printed on the front side and
Speaker 1: had a pinhole in it. Somehow that was supposed you
Speaker 1: see it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it was. It was like it was like
Speaker 2: on ropper Room which he holds up her magic mirror
Speaker 2: and she could see everybody. You know, freaking nuts.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we were. We were gullible as kids.
Speaker 2: It's not just the Wei or the U or whatever.
Speaker 2: And kids. Kids are stupid, that's all. And they were
Speaker 2: taking advantage of kids, really, you know, that's all. It
Speaker 2: was like, just send us their stupid money, and they
Speaker 2: did it. And those bride strip are hilarious. But the
Speaker 2: funny thing is that Jimmy's right. After all these years,
Speaker 2: like you haven't seen a sea monkey's head, probably in forever,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they still exist on the internet somehow.
Speaker 2: It's still in a Sea Monkey conspiracy. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But I haven't seen him in many, many years, probably
Speaker 2: not since the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 9: Yeah, did you ever have kids in school, in grade
Speaker 9: school coming up that would they'd wear the heels down
Speaker 9: on their shoes, so they'd have taps on the heels
Speaker 9: so they wouldn't wear them down.
Speaker 1: We had a guy like that and lived up the
Speaker 1: street from us. No, we thought he was cool.
Speaker 5: Guy was a nerd.
Speaker 1: He was he would have been he would have been
Speaker 1: cast in the Moving Nerds Revenge of the Nerds. That's
Speaker 1: the way he looked. But he would get on his
Speaker 1: bike and are the street we lived on it was
Speaker 1: a circle and we were down at the low end
Speaker 1: of it. He lived up on the high end of it.
Speaker 1: He would come down at night on his bike to
Speaker 1: our house and he would just coast and he would
Speaker 1: drag his head and he throws sparks behind him. We
Speaker 1: thought that was cool as hell.
Speaker 2: I got th Yeah, I did that with thumb tacks
Speaker 2: in the bottom of my sneakers once. I know I
Speaker 2: did that, but uh, you know, with the sparks. I
Speaker 2: seriously I did that. It was like by accident. I
Speaker 2: had a bunch of thumb tacks in my shoe and
Speaker 2: I tried to stop, you know, and uh, yeah, I
Speaker 2: shot some sparks. But uh but but but here's the
Speaker 2: funny thing to me, Like we didn't have kids like
Speaker 2: that in Jersey. We would have beat him to death.
Speaker 2: They be the way they survived in Jersey. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: we would have killed them. They would have just gone missing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It would have been like what happened to that goofy kid.
Speaker 2: He must have wanted off over there, checked the railroad tracks.
Speaker 2: Just somebody would have disappeared his ass. I swear to God,
Speaker 2: you're bringing back some sweet childhood memories to me. Vpete.
Speaker 2: You know kids that disappeared anyway, That sounds evil, doesn't it? Okay? Sorry, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: you are so correct, sir, though, that it turns out
Speaker 2: that the sea monkey operation was literally funding like American
Speaker 2: Nazis and like I think international Nazis right, like somehow
Speaker 2: it was a funding scheme, like a crazy pyramid scheme
Speaker 2: where you know, they get a dollar from you and
Speaker 2: literally caught, you know, send you like ten cents worth
Speaker 2: of sea monkeys with a you know, back then a
Speaker 2: twenty five cent stamp. So they were making like sixty
Speaker 2: five cents on every dollar that showed up or whatever,
Speaker 2: and that money went to fund the Nazis, I think
Speaker 2: the modern Nazis.
Speaker 1: Of a second, I have an idea. It was so
Speaker 1: blind shrimped as sea monkeys.
Speaker 2: How high do you have to be? How much more
Speaker 2: that much did.
Speaker 1: Cast for him? How much the sea monkeys cost? They're
Speaker 1: only like a buck or something, weren't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They were a dollar, So
Speaker 2: it cost them the price of a stamp, and you know,
Speaker 2: and the three cents or whatever for the freaking sea
Speaker 2: monkeys that they gave you, you know, and another three
Speaker 2: cents for plastics. So whatever. Maybe it cost them a
Speaker 2: total of what thirty five cents and they then they
Speaker 2: mailed it to you and yeah, so they got sixty
Speaker 2: five cents out of every dollar. That's not bad, you know,
Speaker 2: freaking sea monkeys.
Speaker 5: Talk about I mean I don't and who knows? I mean,
Speaker 5: that would be the perfect operation to wunder money.
Speaker 2: Well you know what, now, yeah, I got the guy.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, now, the guy that had started these.
Speaker 1: You got to admit, there's no more Nazi name than
Speaker 1: Harold von braun Hot Right.
Speaker 2: I saw that name, and I went, how did nobody
Speaker 2: notice this before? Like that is almost like the this
Speaker 2: is my American name. Hold you know.
Speaker 1: They availability from nineteen sixty two to the present. See
Speaker 1: to the president, only instant pets to the President. It's
Speaker 1: still happening. This is uh Borden popular since nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 1: Harold von Braunhut invented the Brocken shrimp based product the
Speaker 1: next year in nineteen fifty seven. There you go, and
Speaker 1: he developed the proper mix of nutrients and chemicals and
Speaker 1: drive form that could be added to Plaine tapwater to
Speaker 1: create a suitable habitat for the Brian shrimp to thrive.
Speaker 1: Von Brownhutt was granted a patent in nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 1: They originally sold for four twenty nine cents, the equivalent
Speaker 1: of five bucks today.
Speaker 2: Right, But that's what I'm saying is like, literally, kids
Speaker 2: would send quarters. I guess Look, I was born in
Speaker 2: seventy two, so he got his patent in seventy two.
Speaker 2: So this thing exists, has now existed my whole life.
Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to.
Speaker 1: The guy, Yeah, the guy that invented him. And he says,
Speaker 1: so I think I bought something like three point two
Speaker 1: million pages of comic book advertising a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of comic books.
Speaker 2: Well, because it was in every damn comic book. It
Speaker 2: didn't matter what you bought. It was like if you
Speaker 2: bought the thing, if you bought Spider Man, if you
Speaker 2: bought Superman, if you bought Batman. It was in the
Speaker 2: back every one of them.
Speaker 1: Everyone he would buy a part of.
Speaker 2: A page, every single one. I think some of them had,
Speaker 2: you know, clip out the coupon, but you know, some
Speaker 2: people didn't want to destroy their comic books, so you know,
Speaker 2: then there would be instructions of like you could write
Speaker 2: this on a you know whatever and mail it to
Speaker 2: us and you and they would and they have and
Speaker 2: that's just the craziest things. Yeah, good news.
Speaker 1: Week did a story on him as late as twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, an article on them news Week.
Speaker 2: Yeah see, I never saw that. I just saw like
Speaker 2: this week. This week, they're like, look what's been funding
Speaker 2: the Nazis? And I went, what I thought it was
Speaker 2: a fake story. I really did, cause you know, like
Speaker 2: you see fake stuff on the internet all the time,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And it sucks because some
Speaker 2: of these guys will pick it up and mold it
Speaker 2: into a news story or the stupid aiyes will and
Speaker 2: it becomes, you know, a garbage part of a news story.
Speaker 2: Like like, there's this jerk out there with you know,
Speaker 2: this is the Beg's with no music and he's got
Speaker 2: a you know thing out there and it's clearly not real,
Speaker 2: and yet there's a whole bunch of people that think
Speaker 2: it is. But these unreal BS stories that people make
Speaker 2: up for fun sometimes travel and wind up contaminating real
Speaker 2: news stories. So I thought this this gotta be one
Speaker 2: of those things. You know, the guy's got a German name,
Speaker 2: so they're calling him a Nazi.
Speaker 1: But no, it turns out, yeah, he funded the Ku
Speaker 1: Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations right with his sales.
Speaker 2: He I think he actually might have funded that group
Speaker 2: that I saw on Jersey for a little bit. What
Speaker 2: is the uh uh, the White Arian Resistance. I think
Speaker 2: he might have been funding in part which you know,
Speaker 2: the the the thing. The pseudonym is war right, white
Speaker 2: Resistance war. Those guys they were partially funded by Sea Monkeys.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just how hilarious is that that?
Speaker 1: I mean, of all the things, Believe it or not,
Speaker 1: the same guy that that patent did Sea Monkeys was
Speaker 1: behind the X ray specs.
Speaker 5: You mean, there ain't not a two.
Speaker 1: Man he is here.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: He died in tu And he was better known as
Speaker 1: Harold Vaughn Braun. Hut was also known as Hendrik von
Speaker 1: Braun was a male order marketeer, inventor, and white supremacist,
Speaker 1: most famous as the creator and seller of various novelty
Speaker 1: products marketing towards children, often advertising comic books, including Sea
Speaker 1: Monkey's and the X ray Specs.
Speaker 2: So now, I've got something to lay I'm trying to see,
Speaker 2: I got something to lay on everybody listening to this
Speaker 2: right now. You know, if you ever purchased sea monkeys
Speaker 2: or X ray specks, you have definitely funded the Nazis
Speaker 2: in America. I just want you to realize this.
Speaker 1: Get this. His His family was Jewish and he was
Speaker 1: raised religiously Jewish. He had went through a bar Mitzu.
Speaker 1: He appended attended PS twenty six High School in New York.
Speaker 1: He went to the City University and then Columbia University,
Speaker 1: but he didn't graduate. He added the vonnd to his
Speaker 1: name sometime in the fifties for a more Germanic sound,
Speaker 1: and so he consistanced himself from his Jewish pickupley.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So you funded a self hating jew who
Speaker 2: sold bogus products to you and ripped you off in
Speaker 2: order to fund the American Nazis. If you ever bought
Speaker 2: sea monkeys or X ray specs, I just want you
Speaker 2: to know that, oh.
Speaker 5: Be damn amazing, was the original George.
Speaker 2: Soros, Like like he was George Soros, but with products
Speaker 2: to push on you, like just bs cheap products.
Speaker 5: Oh man, you know that does surprise me. But it
Speaker 5: does surprise me.
Speaker 1: Like some.
Speaker 5: Said that the stuff fat and Jews they are they
Speaker 5: used to make movies in Germany for a while while
Speaker 5: you're okay, Fritzy baby, I don't know anyways, I guess
Speaker 5: like Hitler and that other guy who's at Poor Foreman,
Speaker 5: they said, well, we want you to stink keep making movies.
Speaker 8: He said, but I'm Jewish, And they said, we decide
Speaker 8: who's Jewish around here, right.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's how flipped can you get?
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. I mean, but it's just I
Speaker 2: find it perfectly logical and still hilarious that that that
Speaker 2: this is true. But what's weird to me is I
Speaker 2: can't believe that nobody else ever figured this out.
Speaker 5: Like what about the irs, the I R s, look
Speaker 5: at the stuff? Who are these.
Speaker 2: Who knows? I don't know, you know, No, they're too
Speaker 2: busy with other bs. They like, they didn't check this
Speaker 2: guy out. You would figure, you know, if they went
Speaker 2: after Crazy Eddy in New York. If you don't know
Speaker 2: Crazy EDDI was in the New York, New Jersey Pennsylvania area.
Speaker 2: Crazy Eddy is one of the biggest scam artists ever.
Speaker 2: Uh he he used to run the electronics stores, and
Speaker 2: he got known for these you know commercials where he's
Speaker 2: screaming at you, and I mean it turns out he
Speaker 2: had a massive Ponzi scheme. He had uh all kinds
Speaker 2: of like chicanery going on. He was embezzling everything and
Speaker 2: spreading it out to his whole family. And uh, I
Speaker 2: mean like he's like super rich. Siri and Jewey wound
Speaker 2: up going to prison. Everybody went to prison. It's all
Speaker 2: mess for VCRs and freaking crap in the eighties. And yeah,
Speaker 2: that says late seventies, early eighties. But you know, but
Speaker 2: the irs figured him out. They couldn't figure out the
Speaker 2: Sea Monkey guy and the X ray Specs guy. Oh man.
Speaker 10: Yeah, some of them realized the red flag that like, hey,
Speaker 10: he ever knows that these ads are in every single
Speaker 10: uh periodical available in the country.
Speaker 5: Golly, that must cost a lot.
Speaker 2: Well, you'd figure Look, if he started the Sea Monkeys
Speaker 2: in seventy two, you'd figure that by eighty two, somebody
Speaker 2: should have went, what the why is this? Everyone who
Speaker 2: who pays for an ad in every freaking comic book?
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone, who the hell does that? Somebody should
Speaker 2: have asked that question nobody bothered. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: don't even buy you know what else? I think Sea
Speaker 2: Monkeys and X ray Specs might have even somehow gotten
Speaker 2: ads into Boys Life Magazine and stuff like that would
Speaker 2: sol of weird thing.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember it, did I know?
Speaker 5: I remember distinctly at being in Glossy had a Glossy
Speaker 5: magazines if they were geared toward.
Speaker 2: Boys, right, and Boys Life Magazine was one of those
Speaker 2: things that they encouraged you to subscribe to if you
Speaker 2: were like, you know, cub Scout or a boy Scout,
Speaker 2: which was a whole other weird subculture. And of course,
Speaker 2: you know, basically cub Scout Boy Scouts of America got
Speaker 2: put out of business, but with all the lawsuits. But
Speaker 2: the thing is back in when there looked like and
Speaker 2: the Mormon Church. I don't even want to get into that.
Speaker 2: That is so weird. I was in a cub Scout
Speaker 2: pack at the Mormon Church. But anyway, but I had
Speaker 2: Boys Life magazines and yeah, I remember, I do remember
Speaker 2: some of this junk in the back, and yeah, I
Speaker 2: think the Sea Monkeys and even the X ray Specs
Speaker 2: might have been in the back of Boys Life magazine,
Speaker 2: which was supposed to be you know, allegedly, although there's
Speaker 2: weird stuff about that publication now and who was really
Speaker 2: running it and how it is they could afford to
Speaker 2: sell a cheap magazine to like, you know, cub Scouts
Speaker 2: and boy Scouts all across the country. But weird stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, they're collecting mailing lists for all the young
Speaker 2: boys around, is what they were doing. Anyway, don't look
Speaker 2: into that too deeply, you'll get sick. But yeah, the
Speaker 2: friggin' the sea Monkeys, Sea Monkeys and X ray specs
Speaker 2: funding your Nazi party. Now, what's funny is in the
Speaker 2: KKK too. You know, from the eighties on, like and
Speaker 2: especially after Oklahoma City, people started to talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: these these dangerous anti government white supremacist people, right, they're
Speaker 2: all terrorists in this and that, you know, Timothy McVay,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Well, anyway, back then they were trying
Speaker 2: to tell us these guys are funding themselves with gun shows,
Speaker 2: and they sell their literature and this and that, and
Speaker 2: they sell their you know, demented white supremacists stuff, and
Speaker 2: they're printing bootleg copies of the learned Elders of Zion
Speaker 2: and yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5: It turns out no, they were just comic books.
Speaker 2: It turns out it turns out it was freaking sea
Speaker 2: monkeys baby, uh sea, he's an X ray. Respect not
Speaker 2: not saying they didn't get any money off of that,
Speaker 2: but they weren't making as much as this dude who
Speaker 2: To this day, this company's still going. I mean that's
Speaker 2: is it still funding the Nazis? I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: it could.
Speaker 1: Well, No, there was a big battle. The rights were
Speaker 1: sold after he died to a company. But I didn't
Speaker 1: know it. But he also invented what's called the kyoga
Speaker 1: or cyoga, which was like a baton that had a
Speaker 1: spring in the last foot of it. Oh yeah, so
Speaker 1: that if you went to hit somebody, it would And
Speaker 1: he got caught somewhere and went to court and the
Speaker 1: judge decreed that you didn't have to have a license.
Speaker 1: It's like a flexable but police baton.
Speaker 5: The time, they called battle batons. They expand, Yeah, the telescopic, right, and.
Speaker 1: This thing had a spring in the last section of it.
Speaker 1: So he said he designed it so if you went
Speaker 1: to hit somebody and they put their arm up, it
Speaker 1: would wrap over their arm. And still hit you and
Speaker 1: sold apparently sold a bunch of them. Yeah, so he
Speaker 1: went from sea monkeys to personal safety device.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's amazing. I mean, what can you say?
Speaker 2: You know, if you got a passion project, you can
Speaker 2: figure out a way to fund it. I guess. I mean,
Speaker 2: I wish I had this kind of innovation. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what. I would go into the sea monkey business
Speaker 2: right now. If I thought it would work on my
Speaker 2: website or whatever, I'd probably advertise yours.
Speaker 5: Be the creature sea monkey future. What we need to
Speaker 5: do is make an audio sea sea monkey like audio
Speaker 5: program featuring all your friendly sea monkeys. And that's sea monkeys.
Speaker 2: Oh, if you order, oh there go, if you order
Speaker 2: sea monkeys from me, I'll give you the special audio
Speaker 2: track you can play behind them. It encourages them to
Speaker 2: grow and do stuff. There you go right, Well, either
Speaker 2: that or you.
Speaker 1: Can just package up hitlers.
Speaker 5: I'd pull up a straight or up in the handy. Well.
Speaker 5: They just straight up black male parents into buying her
Speaker 5: crap to get the well, there's no point of watching
Speaker 5: this or listening to this shoot if you don't get
Speaker 5: the Dakoder ring, because you won't understand the end.
Speaker 2: Yep. And that's the funny thing too, because it like,
Speaker 2: I'm not a big proponent of that. Like, to me,
Speaker 2: a Christmas Story is not a big deal. Missus O
Speaker 2: loves that thing, and a lot of people take it
Speaker 2: as their traditional movie. But I remember when it was
Speaker 2: like a crap movie that would not stop playing on
Speaker 2: cable TV, like all the time.
Speaker 1: I was never a big fan of Christmas Story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, one of the scenes in there
Speaker 2: is pretty funny where the kid has the little Orpinandy
Speaker 2: Dakota ring and he's been waiting, you know, for some
Speaker 2: piece on the radio, and he writes down the code
Speaker 2: and he runs in the bathroom and he's trying to
Speaker 2: decode the thing and people are banging on the door
Speaker 2: trying to get in the bathroom because somebody's got a
Speaker 2: pee and whatever, and he's refusing to come out, and
Speaker 2: he's working on the Dakota ring like it's an important thing.
Speaker 2: And it turns out and it says Drake Ovaltine or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's like a commercial and he's like, son of a bitch,
Speaker 2: the little kid, son of a bitch, And I'm like, yep,
Speaker 2: that's hilarious because that's kind of crap they used to
Speaker 2: do to us as a kid, you know, and.
Speaker 1: Where the kids ended up getting frozen to the flag hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another scene in that movie. Yeah, I doubled
Speaker 2: airy Triple dog dare you put your tongue on it?
Speaker 2: And then he gets his tongue frozen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Triple dog dare you?
Speaker 2: Yep, you're just strong.
Speaker 11: That's a great movie.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 11: Well, guy, I love the Nights talk the guy as the.
Speaker 5: Dad who's the old man. Yeah, that dude was awesomew
Speaker 5: He was funny. Everyone was funny, and.
Speaker 2: Then it's funny. No, it's a funny movie, but it
Speaker 2: wasn't a great like, it's not a great movie, but
Speaker 2: it's got some funny parts. And so I don't see
Speaker 2: it as like a Christmas tradition. But you can't argue
Speaker 2: with something with the fact that there's like four or
Speaker 2: five separate sections of this thing that are hilarious scenarios
Speaker 2: to point out the way kids used to be as
Speaker 2: opposed to what they are ow uh like seriously and
Speaker 2: what they have been for the past couple of decades. Honestly.
Speaker 2: So it's it's unique in that way. It shows you,
Speaker 2: it gives you a lens on what used to be.
Speaker 1: Huh, listen to his big thing he wanted for Christmas,
Speaker 1: the Red Rider bb gun.
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, it was a bb gun. Basically it was,
Speaker 2: you know, a particular one, and that was his whole thing.
Speaker 2: That was the question for the whole movie. And he
Speaker 2: finally gets it, and what does he do. He accidentally
Speaker 2: shoots something and ends up shooting himself in the eye,
Speaker 2: just like It's like they kept telling him and broke
Speaker 2: his glasses, you know, good thing he had, no it
Speaker 2: was really dangers.
Speaker 5: Was those big old wooden boomerangs, remember them thinks in
Speaker 5: the seventies. Man, I had won't come back by take
Speaker 5: my head off.
Speaker 2: See now, the boomerang never bothered me because almost there
Speaker 2: every kids seemed to run away from the damn boomerang
Speaker 2: because you could see it coming. But the lawn darts, oh.
Speaker 1: Man, I love those.
Speaker 2: I love those too.
Speaker 1: Have a blast with those.
Speaker 2: Now. They were funny when you played with them, you know,
Speaker 2: like the way you were supposed to where you put
Speaker 2: the hulup on the ground or you're supposed to try
Speaker 2: and make it in or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad and my dad and my mom's cousin,
Speaker 1: they would get out there drinking beer on sunny We
Speaker 1: always got together. Two families would get together on Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoons and do something. And he brought a set of
Speaker 1: those things over and they would get out there and
Speaker 1: get drunk and start getting each other. How many you know,
Speaker 1: how many scores they could make in a row, and
Speaker 1: it got to be hilarious. I love lawn darts. It's
Speaker 1: a shame they took those things off the market.
Speaker 2: Well they had to, because maniacs like the people I
Speaker 2: was around, would throw them as high in the freaking
Speaker 2: air as they could and these things would come back
Speaker 2: down like bullets. I once saw a lawn penetrate and
Speaker 2: punch a hole in the hood of a car.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't doubt it. That weighted end on them.
Speaker 1: They were pretty heavy. I mean you could do some
Speaker 1: damage with them. But man, I love those things.
Speaker 2: They tried for a couple of years to make them
Speaker 2: out of heavy rubber or whatever, and then they stopped
Speaker 2: making them because even the heavy rubber was but the
Speaker 2: metal ones.
Speaker 1: Wasn't the same. The metal ones that one because you
Speaker 1: could buy the replacement plastic part the thins and the
Speaker 1: stem of it. The metal piece would screw off the
Speaker 1: end right, and you could buy replacements. Man, that was
Speaker 1: one of the best. Damn as a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot more entertaining than croquet. You didn't need as much
Speaker 1: room and you could really have fun with them.
Speaker 2: But I mean I also literally saw them punch holes
Speaker 2: in asphalt. I mean they were danger.
Speaker 5: Yes they were. And you put those things in the
Speaker 5: hands of a four or five year old. There was
Speaker 5: so much stuff that's destroyed, garden holes and anything around
Speaker 5: gets to pokes.
Speaker 2: And uh and if people get mad, there's holes in
Speaker 2: their roofs. You know, forget lawn dart stick.
Speaker 5: I'm not going on, Chuck. I'm disappointed. I can't believe
Speaker 5: you and Larry and I listened to the show. How
Speaker 5: can you know I gave you the perfect thing you're
Speaker 5: supposed to have asked him about the UFO general. I
Speaker 5: bet he even knows that guy, because they were in
Speaker 5: the same group.
Speaker 2: Where did you put it?
Speaker 5: I don't know in the chat room? Well, kin, I
Speaker 5: talked about it last week. I always ago. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: had to listen to UFO general.
Speaker 2: Right, I had trouble listen. I was having trouble getting
Speaker 2: things right that night, and I did not go to
Speaker 2: the chat room or anything at all. I just talked
Speaker 2: to Larry because he had certain things he wanted to
Speaker 2: get to, and my mind was not on that show,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, so I messed up. What
Speaker 2: you got to do is put a couple of notes
Speaker 2: in an email, and the next time he shows up
Speaker 2: for whatever it's for, I'll start the show by asking
Speaker 2: him that question, even if he wants to talk to
Speaker 2: me about Oswald in two weeks, I will begin the
Speaker 2: show with that question. You're right, I totally dropped the
Speaker 2: ball and I missed it. I should have asked him
Speaker 2: about that, and my brain was not on that discussion topic.
Speaker 2: I honestly thought we were broke out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this guy's assistant, there was a woman. She also
Speaker 5: disappeared six months earlier. Yeah, she was all into space
Speaker 5: metal crap.
Speaker 2: Well, put it in the notes. I don't know if
Speaker 2: Larry knows about it, but I would think he would.
Speaker 2: But but put it in a note and put it
Speaker 2: in an email to me, please, and I will make
Speaker 2: sure that in two weeks.
Speaker 5: I bet you know that group Pie said this guy
Speaker 5: was heavy into that. I guarantee, if nothing else, Larry
Speaker 5: would know who the man.
Speaker 2: Is well, there, they're going to have that conference soon,
Speaker 2: so you know, perfect timing two weeks from now for
Speaker 2: me to ask him that. Like I said, regardless of
Speaker 2: what he's talking about, send me an email. I will
Speaker 2: put it to him, or I'll read it to him,
Speaker 2: or send it to him and tell him. I want
Speaker 2: him to comment on that before we even get into
Speaker 2: the topic at hand, whatever it is. I thought we
Speaker 2: were going to talk about, you know, Iran again, and
Speaker 2: he's like, well, no, there's UFO stuff going on. I
Speaker 2: want to discuss it. I said, okay, so you know,
Speaker 2: I don't say no to Larry and and my mind
Speaker 2: was not on stuff I had. I'm telling you every
Speaker 2: time I turned around this week. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you heard the beginning of the show, but I swear
Speaker 2: it's like a conspiracy against me. Nothing is cooperating with me.
Speaker 2: So by the time I sit down to do something,
Speaker 2: my brain, like anything I had in my brain I
Speaker 2: was going to do, though, all the plans are gone
Speaker 2: because I just struggled to get us. I mean I
Speaker 2: struggled to get us on air tonight because I couldn't
Speaker 2: even make a call to bepe.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Question, but what's to do your part of an am
Speaker 5: AM morning show. Now I'll get I didn't hear all
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I put it up on replays, but am wake
Speaker 2: up on Rumble. I'm I'm a co host on Mondays.
Speaker 2: He's got various co hosts throughout the week and now
Speaker 2: I'm like the Monday guy. So I do that for
Speaker 2: three hours in the morning on Mondays if if I
Speaker 2: can make it three hours. This Monday, he had a
Speaker 2: problem with his setup and I had to bail early,
Speaker 2: but I was on there for two hours with him
Speaker 2: discussing you know, news things that have come up, what's happened,
Speaker 2: you know over the weekend, et cetera. So I've been
Speaker 2: putting that out like on my radio stream, but I
Speaker 2: don't release it as a podcast because I didn't know
Speaker 2: if anybody wanted it. It's you know, three hours and
Speaker 2: I'm not running it, but I'm the co host, So
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys want it as you
Speaker 2: know some you want me to make a podcast out
Speaker 2: of it too, or what would you like out of that?
Speaker 2: Would you like the audio? Cause you can get it
Speaker 2: on his Rumble channel and play at any time, and
Speaker 2: it is live on Monday mornings ten am to one
Speaker 2: people who's see Steve from Yeah, Steve from A and
Speaker 2: wake up slow news day? That guy.
Speaker 5: I don't know who that is.
Speaker 2: Well, he's been around a while. I always forget how
Speaker 2: to pronounce his last name. It's like poinkting or something
Speaker 2: like that. So I always forget how to pronounce his
Speaker 2: last name. I just call him Steve and I just
Speaker 2: show up and do you know, analysis with him? And
Speaker 2: he plays different things. You know, I'm very sure we're
Speaker 2: gonna you know, I'm very sure we're gonna wind up
Speaker 2: talking about Afromn coming up soon because that afroman trial
Speaker 2: was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Right, well, what definitely?
Speaker 5: How could him that be? Okay? And I got a
Speaker 5: So it's the guy for Florida. Man, please call in.
Speaker 1: I want to know.
Speaker 5: I heard that you guys had an opportunity during that
Speaker 5: freeze and spell to get rid of all them the
Speaker 5: basive creatures. Did you do it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Don't you get rid of the iguanas? The snakes? Did
Speaker 5: you work on it? You should have?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, Florida, call in now. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: haven't heard from the guy Florida. Yeah, I haven't heard
Speaker 2: from the guy from Florida. But hang on, Jimmy, we
Speaker 2: do have another caller, and uh, I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 2: Danty from California. Let's say, there you are. So what's
Speaker 2: on your mind is? What how you doing.
Speaker 1: On my mind?
Speaker 5: War?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Mine too? And that's the thing. That's why I'm
Speaker 2: not doing a news show right now, because all it's
Speaker 2: going to be is is me complaining about that. And
Speaker 2: I just don't want to do it because it's just
Speaker 2: what is the point?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: I mean? And also a lot of what's happening is
Speaker 2: being hidden and I don't like that, and I don't
Speaker 2: like having to constantly plead that case to people that, look,
Speaker 2: you're being misinformed. Yeah, Chuck, we heard you already. Nobody
Speaker 2: cares that. That's ultimately what kills me about all this
Speaker 2: is that nobody gives a crap. And that's really really
Speaker 2: starting to bother me, to be honest with you, Danny,
Speaker 2: is that look Epstein Files, Oh, people kind of give
Speaker 2: a crap, but not really because nobody's gonna get you know,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be no problem from it. Nobody's going to
Speaker 2: suffer from it. You know, you don't you don't want
Speaker 2: to go to war well, now we're at war. Anybody
Speaker 2: going to suffer for it? No, you didn't want your
Speaker 2: prices to be doubled, they are. Anybody going to suffer?
Speaker 7: Report?
Speaker 2: No, So you know what, nobody wants to hold anybody accountable.
Speaker 2: People want to just bitch about whatever bothers them directly,
Speaker 2: and they don't want news. And besides that, when it
Speaker 2: comes to the war, I can't give them accurate news coverage.
Speaker 2: It's not available. A lot of things are happening. If
Speaker 2: I tell you right now that you know, the Iranians
Speaker 2: have launched missiles into a whole lot more places than
Speaker 2: you're seeing on your media, and there's been a lot
Speaker 2: more firing, a lot more live action in that theater
Speaker 2: over there than anybody is reporting. All people are going
Speaker 2: to say is, oh, well, you just don't like Trump.
Speaker 2: I don't care anymore. It's not about Trump. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to tell you you're being lied to by your government
Speaker 2: again about a war in the Middle East again. And
Speaker 2: what do you want me to do?
Speaker 1: Say that?
Speaker 2: Every day? I give up. I really, when it comes
Speaker 2: to news right now, I give up because that's the
Speaker 2: only thing I want to talk about, and nobody wants
Speaker 2: to hear it, nobody cares, and nobody even cares that
Speaker 2: they're getting ripped off on a daily basis. So what
Speaker 2: am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: I mean, Danny, I know it sounds like I'm bitching
Speaker 2: you looking for an answer, but you know, what do
Speaker 2: you do with that?
Speaker 5: I care?
Speaker 2: I want to inform people, But what am I supposed
Speaker 2: to do when they don't want to be in form?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: And also I can't fully do it because everything is
Speaker 2: very much hidden at this point in time in my estimation,
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong, Danny.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong? Yeah, I mean, I just I had
Speaker 3: a little chance. I was busy all day. I listened
Speaker 3: to Joe Kent interview and I want to thank him
Speaker 3: for his service, but I listened to it and it
Speaker 3: made me angry. Is he doing the right thing for resigning, Yes,
Speaker 3: but his explanation and who he was put in the blame.
Speaker 3: He couldn't blame one particular person. I mean, he's either
Speaker 3: scared he's a true believer, or what all he did
Speaker 3: was blame Israelis, which I mean he And what was
Speaker 3: so frustrating is he talked about how good their intelligence
Speaker 3: was and they just have these perfect answers everything like
Speaker 3: they were getting duped, you know. And I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: not only just critical saying, oh, you just hate trumpet
Speaker 3: Joe Biden when I defended his domestic policy, but I
Speaker 3: will never defend his foreign policy.
Speaker 2: Can't win.
Speaker 3: What Hamas did was horrific on October seventh. But the
Speaker 3: big problem was.
Speaker 2: Is that, Oh Okay, I did not cut Danny off.
Speaker 2: He just disappeared. I just want you guys to know that.
Speaker 2: But whatever he was about to say, yeah, he dropped
Speaker 2: right off, but I didn't cut him off. I just
Speaker 2: want that known. Look, I'm willing to hear anything out
Speaker 2: about this because quite honestly, yeah, I if I go
Speaker 2: you know, if I go live and I start talking
Speaker 2: about this and I focus on the war, I am
Speaker 2: going to say some stuff that is going to do
Speaker 2: me or anybody else no favors, because you know what,
Speaker 2: I am sick and tired of any of our foreign
Speaker 2: policy being influenced by Israel at all. I am not
Speaker 2: somebody who's you know, oh the Jews run everything, so
Speaker 2: therefore I'm not that guy. But really, at this point,
Speaker 2: if if this is what the price is and the
Speaker 2: potential price that we could pay for this. I have
Speaker 2: no desire as an American to support Israel zero and
Speaker 2: I don't want to go into that fight with everybody.
Speaker 2: I just don't.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I'm on here with a co host that I'm sure
Speaker 2: disagrees with that. You know that that that you know
Speaker 2: I should be like that. But I'm telling you, now,
Speaker 2: fuck them. I have no desire to back them up,
Speaker 2: or to or to even offer up our technology or
Speaker 2: anything else any further to them.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 2: They were attacked and they're an ally and we're supposed
Speaker 2: to yeah, okay, okay, but this was the was the
Speaker 2: hornet's nest we should not have kicked, and in my estimation,
Speaker 2: we're going to pay for this at some point in
Speaker 2: the near future. We are going to pay for this.
Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody who is in power has
Speaker 2: reckoned with that. See what I'm trying to avoid saying
Speaker 2: on my air, So you know, I'm trying to be
Speaker 2: respectful and silent about it at this point in time.
Speaker 2: But also I do feel we're being lied to. We
Speaker 2: have no accurate accounting of what has been done, why
Speaker 2: it has been done, and what has occurred. And I'm
Speaker 2: telling you now that if we only you know, had
Speaker 2: a small amount of bodies returned to us so far,
Speaker 2: excellent record by the military, because usually by mistake, we
Speaker 2: kill more people than that ourselves in an operation like this,
Speaker 2: so very low number of casualties has been reported. I
Speaker 2: don't I think that we we killed more people going
Speaker 2: into desert storm on our own accidents. If you don't
Speaker 2: believe me, look it up. That's where most of the
Speaker 2: casualties came from in the first couple of days of
Speaker 2: the action of Desert Shield turning into desert storm. And
Speaker 2: that's normal, you know, that's sop standard operating procedure for
Speaker 2: the military. We will accidentally kill our own guys doing stuff.
Speaker 2: You're telling me that we have been that efficient at
Speaker 2: this point, I think they're lying to us. I don't
Speaker 2: buy it. Now. You can call me wrong. I don't
Speaker 2: know anything. I didn't serve in the military, but I've
Speaker 2: been an observer of history, and I know that there's
Speaker 2: no way in hell we don't just killed more people
Speaker 2: by misadventure than what they reported so far in the
Speaker 2: past few weeks. And that's just one minor issue. That's
Speaker 2: not even a major issue here, you know, because lots
Speaker 2: of guys die and somebody hands them a folded flag
Speaker 2: to their family members. It happens all the time, and
Speaker 2: there is no acknowledgment. There is no count of that
Speaker 2: number and hers constantly, and I know that that's part
Speaker 2: of the deal, but doesn't mean that it's acceptable. And
Speaker 2: I hope to hell there is not a whole lot
Speaker 2: of those going on right now with nobody acknowledging it. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Danny came back, so I'm gonna put him back on
Speaker 2: and let him complete his point. But this is what
Speaker 2: I'm trying to avoid doing a news show. Imagine me
Speaker 2: doing this for an hour. You know, I'm gonna lose control.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say stuff I should not say. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get myself in real trouble if I say what I
Speaker 2: really think and feel about this situation. So I'm trying
Speaker 2: to restrain myself with not doing the news stories the
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. I'll be back to it. I'll
Speaker 2: do some news, but at this point I am infuriated
Speaker 2: by the fact that we are engaged with Iran one
Speaker 2: way or another. Anyway, Danny, Uh, you dropped off. I
Speaker 2: don't know, no problem, but there you arregue about it.
Speaker 3: Well, let me put a little bit humorous and funny story.
Speaker 3: My my wife got in I was she didn't know
Speaker 3: I was on the phone and I was going to
Speaker 3: decline her call, and I accidentally pushed the on button
Speaker 3: and gave her an earful. So she just wanted to
Speaker 3: let me know that the bird feeder was her birds
Speaker 3: were hungry and I needed to go feed the birds.
Speaker 3: So so that that's why I dropped off. Have clumsy fingers.
Speaker 3: I heard the the about the standard Operation Desidure. You're right,
Speaker 3: because I know I served with some guys and they
Speaker 3: went ended up going to Desert Storm and they they
Speaker 3: they confided with me about friendly fire. I mean, you
Speaker 3: just when you're in battle, it's scary as hell, and
Speaker 3: stuff happens. People just jump. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 3: just it's human nature, right. But the whole thing is
Speaker 3: is I listened to the Joe Kent interview and I
Speaker 3: hope this guy never I mean, I respect to be served.
Speaker 3: He's committed that he is and he did the right
Speaker 3: thing for Arizonna, but he still couldnot come to the reality.
Speaker 3: He's still protecting this tale. I mean, he's still drinking
Speaker 3: the kool aid. And and you know, I was infuriated
Speaker 3: when when Joe Biden like he was going to build
Speaker 3: a dock, and and and and and and here we
Speaker 3: stand up and he couldn't. He was blaming Israel, but
Speaker 3: he could not buy the fact that Trump all the
Speaker 3: money took from the atolsns, all the dark money, and
Speaker 3: who who's who's calling the shots? I mean, he's saying, well,
Speaker 3: they had to attack because there was an attack. Why
Speaker 3: don't you just sell Israel. You're on your own, You're
Speaker 3: on your own. This is this is a global disruption.
Speaker 3: None of these wars have worked. We've been in the
Speaker 3: perpetual state of war. If they solved anything, I'd be
Speaker 3: raw raw. If he came defending this country, I'd be
Speaker 3: raw raw.
Speaker 5: But I can't I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Well there, and look, here's the other thing. And this
Speaker 2: is what kills me about the common Trump supporter is
Speaker 2: that all along they told me, listen, he's the anti
Speaker 2: war guy. He's not going to keep getting us into
Speaker 2: these And look, I would take that as a positive point,
Speaker 2: but I kept saying it's not true because I see
Speaker 2: what's happening. And now you have proof of it, because
Speaker 2: how can you say that he's, you know, the anti
Speaker 2: war guy. Even he was saying, though you won't have
Speaker 2: me getting into, you know, things in the Middle East,
Speaker 2: you won't have me doing stuff like that. He said
Speaker 2: that from before he got elected the first time. And
Speaker 2: it's perfectly acceptable now that well, we had to do this, Okay.
Speaker 2: You know what, you could have actually engaged partially. You
Speaker 2: could have supported your ally without going full bore as
Speaker 2: a partner into Iran and decapitating the leadership. Okay, not
Speaker 2: to say that I'm in support of the Ayatola, It's
Speaker 2: just that if you're going to do that, you need
Speaker 2: to have a way of handling it afterwards. And have
Speaker 2: we not already learned from this cycle? This is what
Speaker 2: the biggest problem is. And again this is another reason
Speaker 2: why I'm not doing the news shows. We've already done this. Okay.
Speaker 2: I bring you back to Mohammad Mosadek, who was what
Speaker 2: a democratically elected, okay, secular leader. And what did we
Speaker 2: do us in the British intelligence groups went in there
Speaker 2: and made sure he got deposed. And what did we
Speaker 2: install the already deposed king? We brought his son in
Speaker 2: that's the guy, you know, historically is the Shaw of Iran.
Speaker 2: Then when the people decided to turn against him and
Speaker 2: throw him out, and they brought in the Molas, because
Speaker 2: that's who organized them, you know, nineteen seventy nine. I
Speaker 2: guess it was hostage crisis early on. You know what
Speaker 2: were they what were they screaming for? They wanted the
Speaker 2: Shaw to be returned to them so that he could
Speaker 2: face justice in Iran. He was in America and he
Speaker 2: was a Western educated guy that was installed and we
Speaker 2: also trained his secret police to Sabakh and why we,
Speaker 2: I mean the CIA and British intelligence. So we've done
Speaker 2: this already where we've installed this guy. Now that guy's dead,
Speaker 2: but now his son is there, this prince because remember
Speaker 2: the word shaw means king in Arabic and a few
Speaker 2: other racches. So the prince is the son of that Shaw,
Speaker 2: which is now Shaw. Three times that America will now
Speaker 2: be involved in encouraging to come and rule Iran again
Speaker 2: from out of exile, Western educated once again. So tell
Speaker 2: me again how Trump is different from the system, because
Speaker 2: he's repeating crap that we started in the fifties. Okay,
Speaker 2: he's going with that cycle let's reinstall another Shaw third
Speaker 2: times the charm. I guess this is why I can't
Speaker 2: do a news show right now, because it's all I see.
Speaker 2: I might I'm not going to lie to you, guys.
Speaker 2: I'd rather say nothing than lie to you. So this
Speaker 2: is all I see in my analysis, is this is
Speaker 2: the intelligence communities inserting themselves into diplomatic stuff and into
Speaker 2: foreign nation states where we have little to no business,
Speaker 2: regardless of whether there's supposed to be some sort of
Speaker 2: threat or not. You know what, there's more than one
Speaker 2: way to contain a threat without decapitating a regime, and
Speaker 2: you can innovate and create something new as opposed to
Speaker 2: going back to the same old bag of tricks. So
Speaker 2: you know, I'll repeat that every day if I do
Speaker 2: a new show. I can't stop because it's all I see.
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. You could say, oh, you don't understand military. Okay, fine,
Speaker 2: I don't understand anything, But that is my intelligent analysis.
Speaker 2: That's the best I can do with it. And I
Speaker 2: don't see how people can totally invalidate it and be like, no,
Speaker 2: Trump had to do this, and you don't understand this
Speaker 2: is a new good thing. And I'm like good. Enjoy
Speaker 2: those prices, by the way, especially to one of the
Speaker 2: gas pump you were telling me was going down, which
Speaker 2: it wasn't. But enjoy all of that because we are
Speaker 2: going to pay for it financially. And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: If they really are capable of all of the boogeyman's
Speaker 2: stuff that they said that this nation state was capable of,
Speaker 2: ern guess what. We're gonna pay for this in blood too.
Speaker 2: And it hasn't happened yet. Like I said, I'd still
Speaker 2: believe without a doubt they are underreporting everything that is
Speaker 2: happening in real time on purpose. And some people would say, well,
Speaker 2: they have to do that, you know, for keeping the okay, fine,
Speaker 2: but that means I have nothing to report on. If
Speaker 2: the military is going to keep a secret, you don't
Speaker 2: expect me to crack it exactly, do you? I mean?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: And neither will you most of you unless you are
Speaker 2: somehow you know, listen, if somebody's listening to me who's
Speaker 2: in military intelligence, you have an advantage. Maybe okay, you
Speaker 2: might have access. But when I see Tulci Gabbert, you know,
Speaker 2: sitting up on Capitol Hill giving the answers, she gave
Speaker 2: this week, the head of our intelligence people doesn't know
Speaker 2: what's going on.
Speaker 3: Okay, exactly did you see her, John Ossoff, you're a senator.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: She could not get out of it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm talking about. Is Asoff and Asof
Speaker 2: is a moron. Listen, Asof is a moron. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you that now. He is a Democratic dufist
Speaker 2: and he doesn't have all that. He's not slick, Okay,
Speaker 2: he really isn't. But here's the thing. In a psychological
Speaker 2: wrestling match with you know, the Director of National Intelligence,
Speaker 2: he beat her right there in public in five minutes.
Speaker 2: So you know, I know, be Pete loves her, but
Speaker 2: and you know BP, I'm all for BP taking her
Speaker 2: home or whatever, but I at this point in time,
Speaker 2: but she can't run anything at this point in time.
Speaker 2: And I look, maybe somebody's keeping her out of the
Speaker 2: loop because she's incapable of it, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I just I don't see from the leadership.
Speaker 2: For sure, I'm hoping that there's some veterans who know
Speaker 2: what they're doing somewhere in the system that are going
Speaker 2: to you know, at least contain this mess, because if
Speaker 2: they don't, we will have World War three declared within
Speaker 2: a very short amount of time, is what I believe,
Speaker 2: because this is you know, they've already launched rockets here,
Speaker 2: rockets there, and maybe that's all they got. And if
Speaker 2: that's all they got and it's over with, then you
Speaker 2: know what, somebody was smart and they obviously cut it
Speaker 2: off at the pass. But I do not believe that
Speaker 2: is the case. Iran had allies, some of them very substantial.
Speaker 2: Iran had non nation state related allies, you know, and
Speaker 2: according to the Boogeyman concept of Iran being a global threat,
Speaker 2: you know, we should be just waiting for the explosions
Speaker 2: here in the homeland if that is true. And if not,
Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna expose the
Speaker 2: Boogeyman finally, and I'll be happy with that. But I
Speaker 2: still say that we are not begun to pay a
Speaker 2: price for what's already happened. And I want to be wrong,
Speaker 2: so anyways, but but go ahead, Danny. I didn't mean
Speaker 2: to do that to you.
Speaker 3: It's just I, you know, I well, I'm sorry pushed
Speaker 3: the boot button, but it's really infuriating what's going on.
Speaker 3: But I don't you know, once you start start bringing
Speaker 3: soldiers back, yep, you know where you going to bribe that?
Speaker 3: You know, we've had a backdoor draft, the backdrop draft
Speaker 3: for almost fifty years. And I don't I don't think
Speaker 3: the youth and I don't think people realize well it
Speaker 3: from the wars and uh because a lot of I
Speaker 3: and this is not going to be good, not going
Speaker 3: to be good if it keeps going.
Speaker 2: And I want you to be wrong. You understand, I
Speaker 2: really do want.
Speaker 3: You to be wrong. I want to be wrong. I
Speaker 3: want to be wrong. I want to tell I want
Speaker 3: I want something to do with actually say amiya copa
Speaker 3: that heasy capable of doing that I would actually respect
Speaker 3: some of you know, I got it all wrong. I
Speaker 3: made a mistake. Ask for forgiveness mea copa. You know what,
Speaker 3: I don't think he's capable of it, and I don't
Speaker 3: think a lot of these people surround him are capable
Speaker 3: of that. You know what that Joe Camplin's really infuriated me.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, right, Danny, Here's what I'm also
Speaker 2: willing to accept is that not Trump himself, but his people,
Speaker 2: if they are actually able to contain this without this,
Speaker 2: you know, spreading out and turning into something else. Like
Speaker 2: if we are not in a very serious bad position
Speaker 2: over the next couple of years because of this, if
Speaker 2: there is not serious fallout from it, I will be
Speaker 2: more than happy to say, you know what, the Trump people,
Speaker 2: as much as I really don't want to encourage, you know,
Speaker 2: a live fire shooting and human beings dying, maybe they
Speaker 2: did the right thing. I can accept that if that's
Speaker 2: the way it turns out. But for once, you know,
Speaker 2: this is not Afghanistan, this is not Iraq, this is
Speaker 2: not you know, oh gee, we just you know, maneuvered
Speaker 2: ourselves out of the way and let things happen in Syria.
Speaker 2: That it's not the same thing. And this is the
Speaker 2: one thing that I swear to God. It's been like
Speaker 2: thirty years that almost everybody, no matter what they were,
Speaker 2: from a neo kon to the war mongering liberal, have
Speaker 2: all looked at Iran and said one thing, we can't
Speaker 2: do screw with Iran because that's gonna be too big
Speaker 2: of a problem. I mean, they all seem to agree
Speaker 2: with this, And when I looked at it myself, sadly,
Speaker 2: I hate to go with the majority. But I agree too,
Speaker 2: this is not the hornet's nest to kick. Okay, containment, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: you want to limit them, Okay, you want to you know,
Speaker 2: be a little bit hostile, have a cold war with
Speaker 2: them sort of. I understand all of that, But what
Speaker 2: I do not understand is what's happening now. This is
Speaker 2: almost incomprehensible. And the fact that Trump and his and
Speaker 2: his leadership basically we're like, well, we didn't quite expect
Speaker 2: Iran to start firing back, is so eg I mean,
Speaker 2: unless we really are looking at some serious four dy
Speaker 2: chests where it's like, of course we knew what was
Speaker 2: gonna happen, but we're gonna pretend like we're stupid. Unless
Speaker 2: that's what's going on here. I can't I can't fathom
Speaker 2: why somebody would do this. I can't fa them. Why
Speaker 2: the United States?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, we we we decapitated, We killed, We set
Speaker 3: their general Suamani, who was basically a war hero for
Speaker 3: that country. This guy was fighting isis this guy was
Speaker 3: fighting isis? They got set up to meet with an
Speaker 3: Iraqi leader to to actually negotiate some peace in some
Speaker 3: type of cooperation, and we set him up and we
Speaker 3: we assassinated him. Go look at the funeral for that general.
Speaker 3: Go look at the video of the funeral, and there
Speaker 3: must have been two billion people that poured out. You
Speaker 3: want to fight these people on their ground.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing about this. Well okay, but Dan,
Speaker 2: what mobile costs?
Speaker 3: What noble cause?
Speaker 2: But Danny, here's the thing. I wouldn't have made that move.
Speaker 2: But when when Trump made it, I objected to it
Speaker 2: because he's the one who's responsible for that right his
Speaker 2: his people, like you gotta say that it didn't spread
Speaker 2: out of control. There was a coup of missiles launched whatever,
Speaker 2: you know. They launched a couple of missiles feebly at
Speaker 2: a couple of military bases, and that was pretty much
Speaker 2: the response. Now, I don't know what it changed on
Speaker 2: the ground. I don't know if it made it more
Speaker 2: hostile or dangerous for our guys who were stationed over there.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. Because that hasn't been spread. Nobody
Speaker 2: wants to report about it, and even some of the
Speaker 2: guys that I know that are still in the military
Speaker 2: do not talk about what's going on in the Middle
Speaker 2: least they have not for the past couple of years.
Speaker 2: Even if I know they have a way to know
Speaker 2: a little bit, they will not share it with people
Speaker 2: like me. So what's happening is I think maybe Trump
Speaker 2: got away with that. It was contained, it didn't start
Speaker 2: to spread, It didn't cause so I could say, all right, well,
Speaker 2: maybe that was something that had to be done. Somebody
Speaker 2: in the intelligence community knew something that the rest of
Speaker 2: the world didn't. Maybe this guy was about to launch
Speaker 2: you know, you think that October seventh thing was bad,
Speaker 2: Maybe he was going to do something much worse to
Speaker 2: another ally or that ally again, or us directly. Maybe
Speaker 2: somebody knew something I didn't, and I can give the
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt to that, and I accept it.
Speaker 2: Don't like it, but accept it. Right this, I don't
Speaker 2: see how this is acceptable or how there is not
Speaker 2: some kind of massive blowback for this. There has to be.
Speaker 2: I just don't see. Even if it takes five years
Speaker 2: and something goes down, it'll be like, well, that's directly
Speaker 2: related to the fact that we literally were participating in
Speaker 2: the bombing of Tehran with the Israelis. Even if it
Speaker 2: happens five years from now now, by then Trump might
Speaker 2: be dead or you know, in his third term. Who knows,
Speaker 2: but it won't matter to him. It might matter to
Speaker 2: some of us, you know, And I don't even if
Speaker 2: I'm not here in five years, but you might be, Dad.
Speaker 3: So I got too many obligations I have to be.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I do too, But I'm just saying, look, I threw
Speaker 2: that in jokingly. My point is, you know, sure I
Speaker 2: did it, but five years from now, Frankie's sixteen too,
Speaker 2: and sure you know, if things get rough, you know,
Speaker 2: selective service does happen, Drafts do happen, could happen, especially
Speaker 2: if they're not reporting on bodybags coming home but they're
Speaker 2: still coming home, which I suspect is happening because you know,
Speaker 2: if you look at the way Hegseeth had, you know,
Speaker 2: clamped down on controlling information out of the Pentagon, as
Speaker 2: haphazard as it was. He also brought in some other
Speaker 2: people to do it. So we know we're not getting
Speaker 2: accurate reporting from the Pentagon. We know we're not going
Speaker 2: to get accurate numbers from the Pentagon, not externally. And
Speaker 2: that's me saying that hegsett is being competent at his job.
Speaker 2: The competent part of what be Eggseet is doing is
Speaker 2: probably that you.
Speaker 3: But no, So here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but he could possibly do something competent with
Speaker 2: the whole rand, wouldn't help of others?
Speaker 1: Sorry, well yeah, here's the whole thing with the answer.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, hearing the assassinated leader, you don't think
Speaker 3: these arenas have been planning and preparing that we take
Speaker 3: the date and go there in the ground war after
Speaker 3: after Afghanistan, yeah, after Iraq and then ISIS is formed.
Speaker 3: Do you not think that they're playing the long game,
Speaker 3: like Okay, it's like, you know, now you're gonna you
Speaker 3: come and fight us. I think that they they're very
Speaker 3: much aware that we may not have the stomach for it. Well,
Speaker 3: because you're gonna have to put a lot of troops
Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to fight a very bloody war.
Speaker 3: And it's I don't know, We've already been the twenty
Speaker 3: first century. We've already spent eight trillion dollars, We've displaced millions,
Speaker 3: We've killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs, and even though
Speaker 3: the Iranians are not Arabs, they're Persians. And we have
Speaker 3: probably disabled tens of thousands of our soldiers and how
Speaker 3: many deaths of our soldiers in the twenty first century,
Speaker 3: and we're just we're just begging for it again. And
Speaker 3: anybody thinks that Trump was a piece nick he bombed
Speaker 3: the hell out of Afghanistan at twenty seventeen, I don't
Speaker 3: know if people have such short memories.
Speaker 2: No, but look, not holding anything against anybody's past. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying that this is the guy that I was
Speaker 2: being told for a long time that I'm an idiot
Speaker 2: because he didn't start anything new. Okay, well now what,
Speaker 2: well this had to be done, so no matter what,
Speaker 2: it's going to be justified, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And just like it was with Bush where it was like,
Speaker 2: why are we destroying Iraq? You know, well weapons of
Speaker 2: mass destruction? Well all right, but anyway, look, don't want
Speaker 2: to even relitigate that. I'm just saying this looks like,
Speaker 2: you know, new boss, same as old boss, and the
Speaker 2: pattern again where they were. But anyway, that's me And
Speaker 2: I want to give some time to Jimmy James because
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna want to tell me off, as I said,
Speaker 2: but you know, I don't get it. And when I
Speaker 2: the couple of guys that I know served over there
Speaker 2: during that twenty years in Afghanistan and maybe some in Iraq,
Speaker 2: and maybe they're not in the best shape anymore. From it.
Speaker 2: A couple of those guys have exactly the same objections
Speaker 2: that I do to it. And these are people that
Speaker 2: wore those uniforms. Then they're not that old. Now they're
Speaker 2: getting older. Uh, those that you know don't die in
Speaker 2: the meantime. Uh, you know, some of them are getting
Speaker 2: older and they're looking at this and they're going same
Speaker 2: thing that I'm saying. So I don't think it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but I don't feel wrong about it,
Speaker 2: and I don't I don't and I don't for a
Speaker 2: second belief that we're being given even seventy five or
Speaker 2: sixty percent of the full picture of what's really happening. So,
Speaker 2: you know, I will contend that we're being lied to
Speaker 2: until proven otherwise. And like I said, some of that
Speaker 2: by necessity, I get it. You know, we're not going
Speaker 2: to tell them exactly what we're doing, but there's gonna
Speaker 2: be heavy consequences, and I don't think people realize that.
Speaker 2: And like I said, it could be over the next
Speaker 2: five years for something that happened over the past five weeks,
Speaker 2: you know, So anyway, Danny, I'm gonna put you on
Speaker 2: hold though. Try to talk to Jimmy. See what he's
Speaker 2: got to say, because I'm sure he's got something to
Speaker 2: say about all this. I really didn't mean to do it,
Speaker 2: but you inspired me to to to blur and stuff. No,
Speaker 2: it's okay, you know what.
Speaker 3: You inspired me to outre more positive stuff.
Speaker 2: No, I know, but I I appreciate you, man, I
Speaker 2: really do. And it's just that you and I will
Speaker 2: lock up on the He's like, oh, here's something I
Speaker 2: want to say, and I've got to jump up and
Speaker 2: be like yeah, because I just I can't help myself.
Speaker 2: But I've been trying to restrain doing a show on
Speaker 2: it because I I just don't want to, you know. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Hang on a minute, let's get Jimmy back on. Sorry,
Speaker 2: b Pete, I'm sitting here dominating the time. Do you
Speaker 2: have anything you want to add before I put Jimmy
Speaker 2: back on.
Speaker 1: No, this is one subject I'm not gonna comment on
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna piss everybody off, So I'll just state
Speaker 1: of my loansom here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, see you're you're doing what I've been trying
Speaker 2: to do, so you know what for tonight. B Pete
Speaker 2: definitely wins the more intelligent than Me contest by by
Speaker 2: a long shot. Because I'm saying stuff I probably should
Speaker 2: not even blur it out. It's not going to do
Speaker 2: anybody any favors.
Speaker 3: I know it.
Speaker 2: But I can't lie to you. I can't lie anyway. Jimmy,
Speaker 2: uh you're back on and you know you say what
Speaker 2: you want. We got a few more minutes left because
Speaker 2: we're going over. It looks like no Aaron tonight, so
Speaker 2: uh so I'm gonna go over a little bit to
Speaker 2: make sure we get to pull two hours in so
Speaker 2: Flor's yours, sir, which, by the way, I was having
Speaker 2: a lot of fun with the sea I was having
Speaker 2: a lot of fun with the sea monkeys conversation. I
Speaker 2: really appreciate that that's what you brought to the table.
Speaker 2: But you know again, I just opened it back up
Speaker 2: for you, specially go ahead and say what you want
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 5: Well, and the other Ryan issue, all right, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 5: The down the crats, the medium, just stop the same
Speaker 5: talking points. How can you be against removing that regime?
Speaker 5: It's just absurd And for all those confused and mixed
Speaker 5: up don't understand. Remind me of Chuck, explain cassis bell.
Speaker 7: I to me.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Well, here's what I can tell you. That
Speaker 2: regime was not removed.
Speaker 5: Then no, hold on, Chuck, do you know what cassis
Speaker 5: belli is?
Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell you. Role of war for the
Speaker 2: sake one Okay.
Speaker 5: Good, the t you throws the first stone?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: You know bell i means war, so I'll be I
Speaker 5: thought you would know that.
Speaker 2: Anyways, this is well, it goes to help out. It
Speaker 2: goes to the root word. Sorry, it goes to the
Speaker 2: root word rebellicos, which is belli, which is aggression. So
Speaker 2: it's actually the first aggression if you really read it carefully.
Speaker 2: So it's the first aggression or the first stone, and
Speaker 2: it's casting the first aggression. So that's how I understand that.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm incorrect, but that's how I remember.
Speaker 11: Go ahead, sorry, well that sounds right if you're of
Speaker 11: direct translation.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's basically Hugh throws the first stone. Now,
Speaker 5: in nineteen seventy nine, these Iranian Islamis, they did that
Speaker 5: when they captured our embassy staff. And it's been on
Speaker 5: and on and on ever since. Under Biden's whatever misadministration.
Speaker 5: I know for a fact the three Davy seals were
Speaker 5: murdered by those Iranian twats. All sorts of sailors marines
Speaker 5: were injured out in the high seats because of these clowns,
Speaker 5: and it is a clown nation. The fact that we've
Speaker 5: been putting up this for half a century is outlandish.
Speaker 5: It's about time that they were removed. And that is
Speaker 5: what has happened. I don't know where youth characters are
Speaker 5: getting your information, but the fact of the matter is
Speaker 5: the Ayatola is dead. The gay Atola is in exile
Speaker 5: in Russia. All the top fifty military people were blown
Speaker 5: the hell up the first day and every other there's
Speaker 5: knowing lot.
Speaker 11: And if they do pop up, we're going to kill them,
Speaker 11: you understand, Okay.
Speaker 5: Iran sign Iran anymore, they'll call themselves that the Islamic
Speaker 5: Republic is done. That's over with. So that's my I
Speaker 5: guess if you want to call it an opinion observations
Speaker 5: thoughts comments on that?
Speaker 2: All right, No, I just have a question, and I
Speaker 2: don't want to argue. I just got a question.
Speaker 5: You don't know, we don't need our discussion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, let's try and keep it that way because
Speaker 2: I got a bad feeling that what I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: might not sit well with you. But anyway, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do it anyhow, because why not. You don't think that
Speaker 2: previous to that takeover of the embassy that uh and
Speaker 2: and during the time when Nixon was in there, and
Speaker 2: during the time when others were in there, and during
Speaker 2: the time when the other Shaw of Iran was in there,
Speaker 2: that we were playing games over there with that regime
Speaker 2: when it was you know, allegedly led by the Shaw
Speaker 2: and all that. You don't think that that we bear
Speaker 2: any responsibility for blowback on that when we were supporting
Speaker 2: the Shaw, is what you're saying? Previous to that stuff
Speaker 2: that happened in the seventies, Is that how you see it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how I see it. We had very little
Speaker 5: to do with the running of it. We had nothing
Speaker 5: to do with the running of that damn country. For
Speaker 5: one thing, the person we accepted as the right for
Speaker 5: run president of that country was murdered in the fifties. Okay,
Speaker 5: the Shaw just took over. He was already there as
Speaker 5: a constitutional monarch. He was supposed to just shepherd things through.
Speaker 5: Whatever he did. What he did, and the people that
Speaker 5: he targeted was communist in Islamic extremists. Okay, that's what
Speaker 5: the Shaw did. That's the people. Huh, the people who
Speaker 5: eventually took over. Yeah, so what what what was your
Speaker 5: You're trying to blame America as usual.
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't trying to blame America. I was asking
Speaker 2: you if we bore any responsibility for interfering with or
Speaker 2: supporting the regime of the Shaw or any of that
Speaker 2: previous to the nineteen seventies. That's all I asked, is
Speaker 2: an open question. If we bared any responsibility, to which
Speaker 2: you said no.
Speaker 5: Then the answer is no. Okay, we don't force anyone
Speaker 5: to do anything, and once they do do something, well,
Speaker 5: then we're going to take care of that issue.
Speaker 2: I see, all right again, not even offering a resistance
Speaker 2: of what you're saying. I asked an open question, all right,
Speaker 2: vpte Uh you probably don't want to comment right.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I think people at the beginning of your discussion, when
Speaker 1: you were talking about mosa dec and him being overthrown
Speaker 1: at that time, the Marxists were back in Mosadic and
Speaker 1: the CIA and whoever had left has to do with
Speaker 1: most of the deck being thrown out than people are
Speaker 1: trying to give credit for. I've watched a couple videos
Speaker 1: that were done by Iranians that were you know, that
Speaker 1: that studied their own history. I kind of take I
Speaker 1: take their opinions a little more value than what we've
Speaker 1: been told all these years about the CIA overthrowing most
Speaker 1: of deck, and they had very little to do with it.
Speaker 1: British movies had more to do with it than we did,
Speaker 1: and the actual Iranians had more to do with it
Speaker 1: than anybody. So, you know, unless we want to argue
Speaker 1: the whole thing from the beginning, but you know, I
Speaker 1: will say no, I don't think we deserve blowback for
Speaker 1: supporting the Shah in an area that the last thing
Speaker 1: we needed was an Islamic takeover of Iran. They were,
Speaker 1: as Jimmy said, they were institutional monarch. They had their
Speaker 1: own parliament in place that was trying to make decisions.
Speaker 1: If anything, what we did over there screwed it up
Speaker 1: even more. But for them to come in like they
Speaker 1: did in seventy nine take over our embassy, and since
Speaker 1: then you had the marine barracks and Beirut blown up.
Speaker 1: And I was watching the guys come to Wiesbaden Hospital
Speaker 1: from that when it happened and seeing the damage that
Speaker 1: was done, and when you have Kobar towers in Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia that was blown up and all of the things
Speaker 1: that we had to deal with. You know, when we
Speaker 1: went into Iraq, Bush was originally going to go into Iraq,
Speaker 1: regardless when he came into office, they already had a
Speaker 1: plan in place. And this all goes back to Iraq
Speaker 1: supposedly trying to take out George HW. Bush and some
Speaker 1: thwarted plan that was in place. Then Bush and Cheney
Speaker 1: already had Iraq in their sites when they were elected.
Speaker 1: They had a plan in place. Right nine to eleven happened,
Speaker 1: and because uh ben Laden was in Afghanistan, they had
Speaker 1: to go to Afghanistan first. Once they got going into Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: then they moved into Iraq. And back then at that time,
Speaker 1: even the Israelis told the Bush administration Iraq is not
Speaker 1: your problem. You need to worry about Iran, and the
Speaker 1: Bush administration blew them off, bullshit, We're going into Iraq.
Speaker 1: They were going after my daddy. We're gonna do We're
Speaker 1: just gonna take them out. And we spent twenty years
Speaker 1: there for no damn reason.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Same thing with Afghanistan there for.
Speaker 5: No re' you're absolutely right out one thing. If we
Speaker 5: were going to do something on we're there, we hit
Speaker 5: the wrong country. We should have went after Iran and
Speaker 5: not Iraq.
Speaker 1: The whole time we were in Iraq, we were dealing
Speaker 1: with faction from Iran supporting the Iraqis with IEDs and
Speaker 1: and they're small militia groups in Iraq fighting us. We
Speaker 1: should have done what we did. We should have We
Speaker 1: were going to go in Iraq to get rid of
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein.
Speaker 7: We did that.
Speaker 1: We should have got the hell out. We spent twenty
Speaker 1: years fighting the Taliban to turn right around and let
Speaker 1: them take right back over. We wasted a lot of money,
Speaker 1: a lot of time, and a lot of people. We
Speaker 1: should have gone after Iran. Then they have been they
Speaker 1: have been money, creating more hats content in the entire
Speaker 1: Middle East that they should have been taken out long
Speaker 1: before we went in that. Now now I'm not going
Speaker 1: to comment on what's going on now. I mean I
Speaker 1: don't I don't have the knowledge or the ability or
Speaker 1: the intelligence to back up what's going on. What's going
Speaker 1: on is going on. We've got to deal with it, okay.
Speaker 1: But for this Joe Kent clown that comes out now,
Speaker 1: his ass resigned because he was about to be fired.
Speaker 1: He was already under an investigation for leaking his shit
Speaker 1: to Tucker Carlson and his buddies last year when we
Speaker 1: bombed him, and that's what caught him cut out of
Speaker 1: the loop. They basically quit inviting him to the damn
Speaker 1: intelligence meetings because they knew he was leaking shit and
Speaker 1: he got they in fact, they even called him on it.
Speaker 1: We know you're leaking, watch your back. He went ahead
Speaker 1: and resigned to get ahead of this thing. And now
Speaker 1: he's making the rounds of the neo Nazi podcast association
Speaker 1: with Tucker and all the damn rest of him. Candae Owens.
Speaker 1: He's going to be visiting all of them for the
Speaker 1: next two week. Then you're going to see him come
Speaker 1: out be affiliated with some group and he's gonna be
Speaker 1: doing the same damn thing they're doing. It's all an operation.
Speaker 1: There's money behind it. For he has done a complete
Speaker 1: one to eighty from where he was six months ago.
Speaker 1: Seven months ago. Now he's sitting there saying, oh, we
Speaker 1: don't have the intelligence and all this. I'm got into
Speaker 1: an extended argument on Twitter over the fact that the IEAE,
Speaker 1: the International Atomic Energy Association connected with the UN in
Speaker 1: dis believe was September put out US study that they've
Speaker 1: got sixty percent in Richmond on their uranium and with
Speaker 1: their training partners are North Korea, Russia and China. How
Speaker 1: long do you think it's going to be before they
Speaker 1: would have the capability for a ballistic missile. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of time. So this is the this is
Speaker 1: the International Atomic Agent. The same guys that went through
Speaker 1: and said, oh well, they didn't have weapons of destruction
Speaker 1: in a well based on what Saddam was doing. He
Speaker 1: made it look like to everybody that he had him
Speaker 1: but he didn't.
Speaker 2: Now we have.
Speaker 12: Questions this I ask, do you remember during that one
Speaker 12: second Jimmy, well, Jimmy hang on, let me let me
Speaker 12: let him, Yeah, let him finish and then and then
Speaker 12: you can ask your question.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So now we have an U N agency saying
Speaker 1: that they are capable of achieving a nuclear weapon. Joe
Speaker 1: Kent is sitting there saying, oh no, the Israelis gave
Speaker 1: us bad and that information didn't come from the Aralis.
Speaker 1: It came from the u n's own atomic organization that
Speaker 1: went in there and said, there are weeks away from
Speaker 1: being able to put together a missile. Now, what was
Speaker 1: your question, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Because I got an interesting question for you.
Speaker 1: I have a question.
Speaker 5: It does really Now, what's the question to Chuck? If
Speaker 5: it was for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's for both of you, actually, because the
Speaker 2: way I feel is that the listener's just heard three
Speaker 2: very different variations on what we're looking at here historically
Speaker 2: and currently, and so I want to ask the two
Speaker 2: of you just one simple question and just see if
Speaker 2: we can find a point of agreement, because look, I
Speaker 2: can agree with half of what be Pete said. You know,
Speaker 2: I disagree with you, Jimmy, but I'm not offering an argument.
Speaker 2: I just wanted you to get it out because I
Speaker 2: wanted to hear the whole rationale. So I have a
Speaker 2: question for each of you, and it's something that I
Speaker 2: didn't hear either one of you address, and I just
Speaker 2: wonder what your thought is on it because I find
Speaker 2: it particularly aggravating currently, and that is that we are
Speaker 2: nowhere near getting even a remotely clear picture of what's
Speaker 2: actually happening right now. Uh so that's my contention that
Speaker 2: we don't know the extent of how far this is
Speaker 2: already spread out, exactly what the response has been, or
Speaker 2: anything else. Jimmy seems to think that the regime is decapitated,
Speaker 2: done gone, and completely crushed. I don't believe that. But okay, fine,
Speaker 2: uh we can disagree there. But here's the thing. Do
Speaker 2: you believe, Jimmy, that we're getting a full spectrum of
Speaker 2: what's actually happening on the ground there, not to the
Speaker 2: point where you know they didn't danger anybody or anything.
Speaker 2: But I want you to be each asked that question.
Speaker 5: I don't think you are. I don't think you are
Speaker 5: getting the correct information or Danny.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no no no no no
Speaker 2: no no no, let me clarify. No, let me clarify, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: let me jesus, let me clarify the air force.
Speaker 5: If the navy's destroyed, not going.
Speaker 2: To address my point.
Speaker 5: If clarify that eight of the population is against them,
Speaker 5: how do you think they're winning? Exactly at this point,
Speaker 5: they're shooting off like a dlowna day, No proble, no problem.
Speaker 2: I can't clarify my question, Okay, because obviously I didn't
Speaker 2: make it clear enough. What I'm getting at is not
Speaker 2: me or Danny or some other No, I'm talking about
Speaker 2: altogether what's being reported in general, not just what somebody's
Speaker 2: choosing to read. Jimmy, I'm talking about what's available. Do
Speaker 2: you believe that a lot of that is not being
Speaker 2: shared with the world, that is being kept very much
Speaker 2: undercover while this is happening. Not what in source I'm using,
Speaker 2: none of that. I don't care best sources, your sources
Speaker 2: or Fox News, I don't give a shit. I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that the actual facts are getting out
Speaker 2: of this situation so that we have an accurate picture
Speaker 2: of what's happening being presented to the world, Not me,
Speaker 2: not Danny, not b Pete. You do, yes, Okay, that's
Speaker 2: what I want to do. Okay, that's what I want
Speaker 2: to know. That's what I wanted to know. Okay, So
Speaker 2: you believe that we're getting accurate information? Cool?
Speaker 9: B P.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that we're.
Speaker 5: Getting I believe I'm getting good information.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Okay, but that's not that's
Speaker 2: not the way The question is. The question is is
Speaker 2: it available? Is it available?
Speaker 5: I think if I'm getting it. Obviously. If I'm getting it.
Speaker 2: There you go. You believe it is. Okay, So the
Speaker 2: answer for you is yes. So BP I ask you
Speaker 2: the same question. Is the accurate information available for what's
Speaker 2: happening right now? How about that.
Speaker 1: It's not available. It's not available on US media outlets.
Speaker 1: I'm not an example. We've got this problem in the
Speaker 1: Strait of Horror moves. Okay. Iran says they're gonna shut
Speaker 1: it down. Well, they haven't been able to shut it down.
Speaker 1: But you hear in American news, Oh, Europeans are all
Speaker 1: against it. They're not going to do anything. France isn't
Speaker 1: gonna do anything. Great Britain's not going to let us
Speaker 1: use their airfields, although we did have bombers take off
Speaker 1: from Great Britain just the other day, which I find
Speaker 1: strange you're not seeing that in the news. The thing is,
Speaker 1: there's five European countries that have already everybody says, oh
Speaker 1: Europe's against the Europe's against it. Five European countries have
Speaker 1: already Norway being one of them. I think Finland is
Speaker 1: the other that have said we're willing to do what
Speaker 1: we have to do to help the situation. So that's
Speaker 1: five European countries that you're not hearing on American news
Speaker 1: saying yes, we will do what we can to help
Speaker 1: in that situation. So you've got American media saying, well,
Speaker 1: Europe's cutting us off, and you've got the BBC, well,
Speaker 1: Europe wants no part of this, it's not our war.
Speaker 1: France says, well, it's not our war, or fuck France,
Speaker 1: They're nothing but surrender monkeys any day. Damn way, we
Speaker 1: don't need the fucking the help.
Speaker 2: Agreed.
Speaker 1: But there are countries that are willing to support the
Speaker 1: United States and Israel in what they're doing. You're just
Speaker 1: not seeing it on the US news. You've got to
Speaker 1: go and look for this stuff. You've got to find
Speaker 1: these stories.
Speaker 5: Out there that.
Speaker 1: With Iran.
Speaker 5: Came out to support. But because.
Speaker 2: All right, hang on, Jimmy, let let me Pete finish
Speaker 2: and then I'll get final words from everybody.
Speaker 1: Good, Al Jazeera has to support it because Katar got
Speaker 1: bombed by Iran. Of course, that's one thing that a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't take notice of. When we started
Speaker 1: hitting them hard. Iran attack, they talk about Israel has
Speaker 1: attacked seven of its neighbors in the past so many years.
Speaker 1: In one day's time, Iran attacked eight of their names
Speaker 1: by just flippantly throwing missiles out there as a damn panic. Well,
Speaker 1: if we're going out, we're taking everybody with us. So
Speaker 1: they started slinging missiles everywhere. That's been the problem with
Speaker 1: Iran all along is they have been forementy disruption everywhere
Speaker 1: in the Middle East with their money as much as
Speaker 1: they can. Now we're not getting this stuff out of
Speaker 1: Iran because there's no communications there. Elon Musk is trying
Speaker 1: to provide starlink. They're trying to get munitions and weapons
Speaker 1: into the right group. Even the Kurds are sitting up
Speaker 1: there in the north going it ain't time yet, but
Speaker 1: we're ready to go in. We're just waiting for the
Speaker 1: right moment. So yeah, I think there's intelligence, there's news
Speaker 1: out there that you can get that you can put
Speaker 1: some trust behind. But you're not going to see it
Speaker 1: on the US media. You're not going to see it
Speaker 1: in the BBC or anything coming out of Great Britain.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. And the thing is you always got
Speaker 2: to remember with Al Jazeera tar is affected, then guess
Speaker 2: what you're going to see it on Al Jazeera, doesn't
Speaker 2: matter what it is, because that's where they are. Uh
Speaker 2: you know that that's that's always been the thing, Like, yeah, good.
Speaker 1: One thing I want to people to take note of
Speaker 1: if they're listening in you look at the just the
Speaker 1: past six months, from August of last year till today.
Speaker 1: Look at the one and eighty degree turn that you
Speaker 1: see coming from the Neo Nazi Podcast Association. Yep, Tucker Carlson,
Speaker 1: Candice Owens, Megan, Kelly, Sawn, Ryan, all these people are
Speaker 1: pulling one eighties from exactly what they were saying just
Speaker 1: six months ago. There's money behind this, there's an operation
Speaker 1: in place to discredit this thing as much as possible.
Speaker 1: And of course you've always got the Jews are responsible
Speaker 1: for everything. You've got that faction. You've got to deal
Speaker 1: with a bigger, bigger plat form. The right wing is
Speaker 1: turning neo Nazi in front of everybody, and nobody has
Speaker 1: said a damn thing about it. Complaining. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: it's the part I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a perfect encapsulation. When you see Nick foent
Speaker 2: As making Alex Jones cry on his own platform that
Speaker 2: that's what's going on right now. So yeah, when it
Speaker 2: comes to the right wing podcast, you know ecosphere, you're
Speaker 2: right on point. And Al Jazeera is one of those
Speaker 2: things that I only consider it to be a reliable
Speaker 2: source in very rare instances. But you know, occasionally they
Speaker 2: come up with some interesting stuff, but really, only when
Speaker 2: guitar is involved do you get, you know, full spectrum, like,
Speaker 2: holy crap, this is going on as far as I'm the.
Speaker 1: Same thing with Saudi Arabia, You're not going to get
Speaker 1: anything out of Saudi Arabia unless it's you know, you
Speaker 1: think about this, Saudia Arabia early QUI with the Israelis
Speaker 1: against the Iranians for the past couple of years, right,
Speaker 1: and then when October seventh happened, they pulled back. But
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Saudi Arabia has already said, and they
Speaker 1: have been saying it for the past twenty years. If
Speaker 1: Iran gets a new we're next, because we're not about
Speaker 1: to let those assholes have them on our own.
Speaker 2: No, they will not.
Speaker 1: Shows you the difference between Saudi Arabia and Iran, well.
Speaker 2: But Saudi Arabia would be you know, obtaining it for
Speaker 2: self preservation, dude.
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, that's what that number one enemy is
Speaker 1: that she is in Iran.
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, I think a lot of people go, oh,
Speaker 2: it's the same No, this is not the same thing.
Speaker 2: Iran is not Saudi Arabia. It's a different circumstance. Not
Speaker 2: saying I love either of the regimes, but you know,
Speaker 2: it's a matter of degrees of horrible.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna make one comment as an end to
Speaker 1: my talk on this war.
Speaker 2: Okay, and then I want to get this. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: want to get everybody's final I want to get everybody's
Speaker 2: final thoughts. After you do that, if you don't mind,
Speaker 2: go ahead, all right, but.
Speaker 1: Just this one point. If Israel didn't exist, you would
Speaker 1: still have mass mayhem in the Middle East between all
Speaker 1: of these factions fighting for power. You saw it in Goza,
Speaker 1: you saw it in Lebanon, you saw it in Syria.
Speaker 1: Now you're seeing in Iran. Now, Saudi Arabia is going
Speaker 1: to do everything they can. They've got the money right
Speaker 1: now to be able if they want a nuke, they
Speaker 1: can get a nuke. They have enough fingers in the
Speaker 1: pie around the world that they can get the technology
Speaker 1: and do it. So just take or Israel out of
Speaker 1: the equation. Even if they weren't there, we'd be dealing
Speaker 1: with this inner faction between between the PLO, between the
Speaker 1: FLP what is it, the Front for Liberation of Palestine,
Speaker 1: Hesba lah Hamas, Oh crap, what's the other group there?
Speaker 1: In Gaza An you have the Druze militia in Lebanon.
Speaker 1: You have twenty different factions just between Syria, Lebanon, and
Speaker 1: Gaza and Jordan that basically, and don't even you know,
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about the Egyptians get into it
Speaker 1: where the Brotherhood is headquartered, right, So, even if Israel
Speaker 1: wasn't there, we'd be dealing with these issues between all
Speaker 1: of these factions fighting for oil, money and for power,
Speaker 1: plain and simple. So the fact that we're involved in
Speaker 1: it now is not because of Israel. I said last
Speaker 1: week that they found an opportunity to strike when they
Speaker 1: did because they had an opportunity to wipe out two
Speaker 1: layers of leadership at the head of Iran through the
Speaker 1: theocracy end of things. They took them all out at once.
Speaker 1: They took out the first row, they took out the
Speaker 1: second row. They've gone as deep as three and four
Speaker 1: people in the command structure. Of what's going on in Iran,
Speaker 1: and until we start seeing some internet access and reporters
Speaker 1: being able to get in there. Basically, what you're dealing
Speaker 1: with are people that are broadcasting through a starling or
Speaker 1: some other method from their living rooms, trying to let
Speaker 1: people know what is going on. Fair Enough, I don't
Speaker 1: think this is going to blow into World War III.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to go that far. But
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot more people involved in Iran.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you've got a courage sit up north.
Speaker 1: They've been going for two weeks now saying we're going in.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of when's the right time to
Speaker 1: do it. Now is not the time, but we're ready.
Speaker 1: You got factions like that all over that are ready
Speaker 1: to just move in and take up the power vacuum.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the only thing that I would add that
Speaker 2: nobody brought up at all during this whole discussion, and
Speaker 2: that is that Pakistan. You know, there's a good example
Speaker 2: of a nation at war with itself and created because
Speaker 2: it was at war with this mother nation to begin with,
Speaker 2: a nuclear power is currently engaged in, you know, actively
Speaker 2: fighting with one of its neighbors. So you know there's
Speaker 2: that too. No, not just that, No, no, no, they're
Speaker 2: they're not just Kashmir and all that. That's you know, ongoing,
Speaker 2: that's perpetual. But outside of that, they're actively engaged with
Speaker 2: somebody else. Right now. You should really take a look
Speaker 2: at that, because I'm telling you I disagree with you
Speaker 2: about this could spread into something else, but only time
Speaker 2: will tell which one of us, you know, is correct
Speaker 2: about that. So I want to get to everybody's final
Speaker 2: thoughts and do that. I'll start with Jimmy because I
Speaker 2: cut him off just so he could finish, but I'll
Speaker 2: bring him back on and Danny still on hold. So
Speaker 2: I want to give each of them a chance to
Speaker 2: throw something in here at the end and say what
Speaker 2: they want to say on their way out the door,
Speaker 2: and then we'll close out this Friday night open mic
Speaker 2: on the oceli dot com radio network, and hopefully you guys,
Speaker 2: you know, got something out of all this. I've tried
Speaker 2: to allow various points of view that I don't necessarily
Speaker 2: agree with to be fully heard. I hope that's appreciated
Speaker 2: on some level, but otherwise, you know what, I don't
Speaker 2: feel good about any of this anyways. It's just me
Speaker 2: saying that. I guess, and maybe Danny will find out
Speaker 2: in a minute, but I'll go to Jimmy first. So, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: you're back on your final thoughts for the week.
Speaker 5: Well rest in peace, Chuck Norris.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, forgot to even bring that up. Jimmy. You're right,
Speaker 2: Chuck Norris passed away.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I find that a lot more heartbreaking than the eye
Speaker 5: a Tola Dyan. I like Chuck Norris, Yeah, so did I. Well,
Speaker 5: rest to peace.
Speaker 2: Exactly. You know what, I love Chuck Norris. I loved
Speaker 2: it when he did the whole thing, and even in
Speaker 2: the movie where Bruce Lee killed him, I thought was great.
Speaker 2: You know how what was it, Lone Wolf McQuaid. I
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. I never got into Texas Ranger or whatever
Speaker 2: that that TV show was, But I liked the Chuck
Speaker 2: mon Norris movies. I watched all the Missing in Actions. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I dug Chuck Narris. There was that one
Speaker 2: where he was a kickboxer, if I remember correctly, It
Speaker 2: was like in the seventies and he like, you know,
Speaker 2: somebody threw a gigantic box of cocaine at him that
Speaker 2: he kicked in midair and broke, I mean, all kinds
Speaker 2: of wacky stuff. Chuck Norris legend no longer among us,
Speaker 2: will continue to be a legend. So there's that to consider. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Danny from California, your final thought for the week, sir, Yeah, r.
Speaker 3: If Chuck Norris entered the dragons, Yeah, it was when
Speaker 3: I was a child. I really enjoyed all them Bruce
Speaker 3: Lee movies. There's there's many points in opinions, and I
Speaker 3: can glean something that I could agree with some aspects
Speaker 3: from all the callers. There's some things where I probably
Speaker 3: would strongly disagree, right, but I just my prayers for peace.
Speaker 5: I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I do not have a good feeling what's going on.
Speaker 3: And this is not the first time it's happened. I
Speaker 3: wish it would be the last, so I wish everybody.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, Danny, and look, I can't agree
Speaker 2: with your sentiments anymore. I can agree with parts of
Speaker 2: what all everybody said, but in total, no, we got
Speaker 2: at least three very different opinions about what's happening and
Speaker 2: what has happened. But we can all agree, I think, VPTE.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you will, but let's see, I
Speaker 2: think we can all agree on a rest in power
Speaker 2: at least for Chuck Norris because he was kind of
Speaker 2: a cool guy. I mean, he wasn't Bruce Lee, but
Speaker 2: definitely cool. And I'll never forget that movie where he
Speaker 2: like kills the black belts, you know, Bruce Lee kills
Speaker 2: the black belt that was sent to assassinate him. I
Speaker 2: think it was entered the Dragon. Maybe he just like,
Speaker 2: you know, like gets angry and throws the black belt
Speaker 2: on top of like Chuck Narris's body after he kills him,
Speaker 2: which Bruce Lee was probably capable of killing anybody who
Speaker 2: wanted to with his bare hands. But anyways, but that
Speaker 2: was a movie and so was missing an action and
Speaker 2: so was you know, Lonemoth McQuaid and so on and
Speaker 2: so on. Anyways, be Pete your final thoughts for the week, sir.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm about neck deep in the NCAA Tournament basketball
Speaker 1: tournament going on March Madness. We've got it for another
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but been some upsets. I'm looking to
Speaker 1: see if Duke can go all the way, and it
Speaker 1: would be nice. I doubt they're gonna do it. They'll
Speaker 1: probably do like every year and choke at the quarterfinals.
Speaker 1: So other than that, I was everybody a good week.
Speaker 1: Support your Focal food banks. Go to Achellie dot com
Speaker 1: and hit the donate button. Every little bit helps and
Speaker 1: we'll see everybody next week. Oh thanks for Jimmy and
Speaker 1: Danny for calling in right.
Speaker 2: Right back to you, Chuck, Hey, I appreciate all of that. Lately,
Speaker 2: nobody has been hitting the donate button. It looks like
Speaker 2: unless there's something not getting through. But I did put
Speaker 2: the cash app also in the show notes as another option.
Speaker 2: I still have the Ocelli cash app. They didn't take
Speaker 2: it away from me yet, so you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know why I'm getting everything taken away, but it's still available.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it'll be there in the show notes, especially
Speaker 2: when I released the podcast. But you can check I
Speaker 2: think the past couple also you'll see that it's on there,
Speaker 2: and do appreciate it. I got a few things I
Speaker 2: gotta do soon, so hoping that the funds will be there,
Speaker 2: and I'm doing my best to do that. You know,
Speaker 2: and I didn't even get to talk about my recent
Speaker 2: re entry into following sports. I'm trying to take a
Speaker 2: lead from VPT. He seems so happy when he's following
Speaker 2: these different sports. Now, I'm not going to follow college sports.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I don't like basketball. I'm not a
Speaker 2: big football guy. Missus Oh watches football. But you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm starting to follow the Mets, and I know I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get disappointed. I know I'm going to get my
Speaker 2: heartbroken because the Mets, but they got some young players
Speaker 2: look good. They got the possibility they might go after
Speaker 2: some high end pitchers. I'll be really happy if I
Speaker 2: see that. And Opening Days just a short time away.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, Danny's still on the line. I gotta
Speaker 2: check this, Dan, Danny, do you you still follow baseball? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 2: so I'm not crazy for feeling pretty good about what
Speaker 2: the Mets are putting together. I think maybe you don't
Speaker 2: follow them, but I'm sure you've heard about some of
Speaker 2: what's going on, and I have a feeling. I even
Speaker 2: said it on Twitter that they might go after Skeens,
Speaker 2: and they might even I mean, you know, as crazy
Speaker 2: as that sounds, they might go after Skiens in school bol,
Speaker 2: which I think would be a hell of a thing
Speaker 2: and would put them in real contention, like right away
Speaker 2: if they got one or both of those guys because
Speaker 2: each of them has trouble with their arbitrations and this
Speaker 2: and that, and I'm like, I say, I'm just re
Speaker 2: entering following baseball. But you know, like I said, I
Speaker 2: see that VP gets so much happiness out of it,
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to collect the cards with Frankie. So
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just kind of dragging me back in
Speaker 2: to after not following very closely for years and years.
Speaker 2: I might follow my Mets and get my heart broken
Speaker 2: again because remember we've only won two series sixty nine
Speaker 2: and eighty six, and every other year it's a collapse. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole week exactly the Wei, the Wei from when
Speaker 2: I was a little kid and I followed it and
Speaker 2: I thought it was part of my life. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: See how stupid it sounds, all right, DN, So my
Speaker 2: team as only one in sixty nine and eighty six,
Speaker 2: the whole thing, Yeah, that's not true, just not for
Speaker 2: the Mets. I tried to play baseball. That was That
Speaker 2: was imagine the blind kid trying to play baseball, if.
Speaker 1: Nothing else, for the sense of community. Everybody needs to
Speaker 1: have a team they follow.
Speaker 2: There you go. So I'm I am trying to re
Speaker 2: enter following the Mets. Anyway, Danny, I want to let
Speaker 2: you know that, and you and I will be able
Speaker 2: to talk baseball hopefully this season.
Speaker 3: So okay, hopefully, Yeah, there'd be a white choice. They
Speaker 3: got those guys.
Speaker 2: Pitchings, Yeah they pitching, they acquired some. But if they
Speaker 2: get one of the stars or two of the stars,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be real excited. I'm just saying. And
