WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:07.519 Ready, get ready for. 2 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.039 All right. 3 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.440 So February twenty, twenty twenty six, allegedly, according to that 4 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.399 thing we call a counter, this is the O'Kelly effect 5 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.719 and live call in Friday night show. So we are 6 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.199 live and my co host Bpte is with me. Hopefully 7 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.479 you are too. Soon we're going to launch a couple 8 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.640 of things that are gonna be a little different. And 9 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.119 had a discussion with VP recently about how we're gonna 10 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.359 change but also remaining the same as far as putting 11 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.640 out the audio. The audio remained the same. If you 12 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.200 listen to the audio podcast and you enjoyed that way, great, 13 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.399 But we're gonna add video, We're gonna add shows if 14 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.799 we're lucky, we're gonna add formats. Because I'm bored and 15 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.960 apparently so are the remainder of my listeners. So it's time. 16 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.920 And besides that, we're not getting anywhere with a bunch 17 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.759 of things. I mean, I had to cancel on Larry 18 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.280 Hancock last night because I was throwing up at the 19 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.120 time I should have been recording with him. So I 20 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.319 had to say, Larry, I'm puking at the moment, can't 21 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.840 join you. I don't do that to Larry if I 22 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.319 can avoid it. But it just couldn't be done last night. 23 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.599 But I'm thinking about it. And you know, all the 24 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.159 serious work I do, all the serious people that I 25 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.799 have brought on the show, all the serious information that 26 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.439 I've taken my time to vet work on research, is 27 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.200 really for naught. So it's time to change up what 28 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.079 we're doing. Maybe deliver the message in a different package. 29 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.079 Maybe come up with another way to break the paradigm 30 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.159 by not participating in the same stupid thing that everybody 31 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.519 else does, because that's the one thing that bothers me. 32 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.280 There is no point having an independent network if all 33 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:55.680 I'm going to do is parrot stuff that is said elsewhere, right, 34 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.280 because you can get that guess what elsewhere that bigger budget's, 35 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.760 bigger names better social media has spread the word Why 36 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.599 should I bother to cover the same ground you can 37 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.560 get everywhere else? So, you know that's my attitude. Maybe 38 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.080 it's wrong. Maybe I should just join one of the 39 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.280 teams in whatever way you want, you know, take up 40 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:26.159 the infohoers, you know, mantle run with it. A lot 41 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.639 of people have done Alex Jones Light for years. Some 42 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.840 of them have made careers. Some people have made careers 43 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.800 added next to nothing because they just use a particular 44 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.479 format and they buy some views. They do a little 45 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.479 of this and that, and the next thing, you know 46 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.759 is legitimate people. And I've been watching and observing all 47 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.560 up and down various platforms, people that have shows that 48 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.719 say nothing, do nothing, and yet are well supported by 49 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.960 super chatters and you know, massive donations and subscriptions that 50 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.199 give them nothing in addition to just you. You can 51 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.360 call yourself a supporter of this, and I can't. I 52 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.120 don't understand it because even when I do a news show, 53 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.800 I do a lot of research. I check on articles, 54 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.840 I go over stuff. I don't just do one thing 55 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.439 and people forget, you know. I also used to chase 56 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.680 down stories directly when people were talking about the police 57 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.240 mishandling people and throwing people out of their houses. In 58 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.400 twenty fourteen, I went and got some of those people 59 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.520 who had been through experiences who were part of viral 60 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.080 videos and brought them on the show. Not an easy 61 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.240 task all the time. Those people, when they get a 62 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.439 little media attention, not easy to track down. When I 63 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.280 wanted to discuss the whole militia members thing that was 64 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.680 going on in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. You know, 65 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:51.159 pre Trump, I got militia people on the show, didn't I? 66 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:51.599 I did that. 67 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.719 Remember the Reality Winner, which I thought was a joke, 68 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.400 and she got charged with you know, suddenly the Espionage Act, 69 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.800 right independent contractor that was working for the NSSA, and boom, 70 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.479 what did I do? I couldn't get her on because 71 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.560 she was in prison. I got her mom on the 72 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.079 show to talk about what was going on with her 73 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.920 case as much as she could, as much as she 74 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.319 was allowed, and what was happening. I chased down news, 75 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.120 not just my political opinion. I chased down news. I 76 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:35.399 chased down real research, historical and what's happening currently. When 77 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.480 Pizzagate exploded into way too many directions, it wasn't just 78 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.560 the New York Times saying, oh, you know, maybe this 79 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.439 isn't actually happening in this building. I talked to people 80 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.600 in DC, couldn't get some of them to come on 81 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.399 the air, got a couple of people to come on 82 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.480 the air and give secondhand reports because we had talked 83 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.439 to people who were there and asked them about this 84 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.879 place which nobody paid attention to. And really it was 85 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.399 the alt media not the mainstream via people like myself 86 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.240 and a couple others that I could name, but I'm 87 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.560 not going to bother that said, there's no basement in 88 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.759 the building. You're claiming to have a torture basement. This 89 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.000 other thing is not what you claim it to be. 90 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.600 These people are strange, and yet Pizzapgate is now making 91 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.680 a resurgence because there's pizza being discussed in some of 92 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.600 the Jeffrey Epstein emails. Jeffrey Epstein itself a story I 93 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:37.639 was covering as early as twenty fifteen, and it was 94 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.879 a crazy conspiracy theory that only nuts on the internet discussed. 95 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.439 And now it's kind of mainstream, isn't it? And there 96 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.079 are real things coming out no matter what the weapon 97 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.199 of mass distraction is that goes on about it, and 98 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.399 who's being distracted from what and for which purpose? And 99 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.800 you know, good point and bad point when they say, well, 100 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.279 why did you ask Merrick Garland about this? Merrick Garland 101 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.519 didn't promise the drop stuff, and we're asking you about 102 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.720 a release that Merrick Garland didn't even make. But you 103 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.839 know what, you're right about, Merrick Garland. Somebody should have 104 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.319 asked questions and they could have asked questions all the 105 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.560 way back to the Bush administration. Oops, kind of covers 106 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.879 both sides of the aisle, doesn't it. Nah, it's just 107 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.240 your imagination, and I'm sorry. I only got on it 108 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.360 in twenty fifteen, but that's when I became aware because 109 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.879 there were al media people just to handfil being called, 110 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.480 you know, sick and twisted for even wanting to cover 111 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.519 the significance of this thing and trying to tell you 112 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.920 this is a big story. Ed Opperman was one of 113 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:40.079 those people Porkins, you know, Pierce Redmond, one of those people. Oh, 114 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.240 by the way, long before that Whitney, whatever the hell 115 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.839 her name is. So it's frustrating. What can I do 116 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.160 in twenty twenty six at this point? I mean, I'm 117 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.199 not a good performing monkey. I won't lie to you 118 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.120 for a dollar, because if I did, I wouldn't have 119 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.439 to ask for donations anymore. Promise you that all I 120 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.160 would have had to do is sell out my integrity 121 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.959 here or there. I could have had either thousands of 122 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.000 dollars a steady job, you know, endorsement deals, whatever. I've 123 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.160 lost all my extra work I used to get from 124 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.480 voiceovers because AI is now doing a lot of it, 125 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.639 but pay no attention to any of that that's not 126 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.160 being done for any particular reason right which, by the way, 127 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.160 I'm gonna bring a piece of AI onto this show. 128 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.240 I got something shared with me, and maybe by next 129 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.720 week I'll be ready to reveal a weird thing I have. Oh, 130 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.199 by the way, they're making podcasts fully with just AI 131 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.240 programming now, like, no people involved, no hosts, no nothing. 132 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.439 So am I wasting my time? I don't know, But 133 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.319 I'm going to try and do something different because I 134 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319 know I enjoy broadcasting first of all, and I wanted 135 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.160 to do something serious that had, you know, positive effects. 136 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.000 But if I could do a little comedy, if I 137 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.480 could do a little politics, just a little not constant, 138 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.519 you know, if I could do a little comedy, a 139 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.120 little politics, a little observation, a little independent analysis, which 140 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.079 you know isn't just automatically. Got even a friend of 141 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.399 mine over here screaming at me that I'm an mf 142 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:17.560 or right away, when I'm trying to say, dude, why 143 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.279 is it everybody's not talking about this aspect of it, 144 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.959 he went so defensive the first thing out of it, 145 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.040 called me names. I don't blame him, though, because that's 146 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.600 the way we're supposed to react now, right. I don't 147 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.080 want to do this kind of crap anymore. I want 148 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.600 to do something different. I don't want to cover the 149 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.679 same ground everybody else is covering if I can avoid it. 150 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.960 And I certainly don't want to sit here and compare 151 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.240 parrot notes. Here's my right wing notes, here's my left 152 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.720 wing notes, here's Chuck's weird ass notes. That's not getting 153 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:54.440 us anywhere either. So something gotta give. And BP's going 154 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.519 to be a partner on this, by the way, even 155 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.960 though yeah, I think some of his points of viewers do, 156 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.200 he thinks some of mine are absolutely insane. There's got 157 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.240 to be a way to make that work without fighting 158 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.919 with each other and do something with that. And I've 159 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.360 got ideas. I got a huge list of ideas, actually, 160 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.600 and I'm looking for more. And I'm hoping to create 161 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.840 a new coalition because you know, nobody wants to be 162 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.159 under my network, because every time I start getting people 163 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.559 together doing that, somebody turns on me and screws me 164 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.960 over with that, you know, because they're a drunken, bipolar 165 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:32.360 mess or something, or they're a religious fanatic that you know, 166 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.480 freaks out because I say, look, I don't want to 167 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.799 do religious broadcasts on my network. Oh my god, you're 168 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:41.000 against freedom of speech. No, I don't want my network 169 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.639 to be used as religious programming, especially if it's recruitment 170 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.080 that I think is hostile to other people on the planet. 171 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.600 I think that's negativity that I don't want to participate in. 172 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.159 Is my point. You can go do that anywhere you want. 173 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.159 I don't want to stop you. I don't want to 174 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.840 participate in it. And next thing you know, I'm the antichrist. 175 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.240 I think Trump's a con artist. It doesn't mean I 176 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.080 love Biden. But next thing you know is I'm a 177 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.720 Biden loving communist who wants to I don't know, lick 178 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:17.679 kamalass feet something weird. It always goes to something weird. Anyway, 179 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.960 I want to get away from politics, I really do. 180 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.759 And tonight let's talk about whatever you want for I 181 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.840 guarantee we got at least a full hour, even after 182 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.480 my long, long over. And by the way, this is 183 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.600 another thing that annoys me. I end up having to 184 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.919 have long explanations about stuff. B Pete slow rolls his 185 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.639 explanations because that's the way he talks. I end up 186 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:44.000 over explaining myself and wasting your time and mind because 187 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:49.480 a stupid crap. I have to retrain myself, and I 188 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.840 got to retrain what's left to you guys, and hopefully 189 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.240 get some new listeners because the support system's not working. 190 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.120 And I'm basically feeling kind of unwanded out here in 191 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.240 the media stream. And maybe I am. Maybe it's because 192 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.240 I stuck to audio too long, so we're going to 193 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.159 go to video. Maybe it's because I stuck, you know, 194 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:14.000 and kept arguing politics and current events too long. Things 195 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.240 got to change. Maybe I'll keep some of it. And oh, 196 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.759 then there's also the JFK community basically rejecting and erasing me. 197 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.480 I don't care about that necessarily, because screw it. You 198 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.600 know what, they're doing me a favor at this point 199 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.960 by kicking me the hell out of any circle that 200 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.279 I was part of and turning their backs on me, 201 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.960 all with the exception of, you know, people like Larry Hancock, 202 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.519 most strangely is one of the most respectable and oddly 203 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.399 has not passed judgment on me, shunned me, removed me 204 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.159 from anything. He's still my friend, and he felt bad 205 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.720 that I didn't feel good last night, and I think 206 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.919 that's legit. By the way, Larry's a real decent human being, 207 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.480 no matter what you think of his points of view 208 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.360 or his research, which is mostly impeccable, his writing style, 209 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.440 which is absolent educational. I don't just say that because 210 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.639 he's my friend. I say it because it's freaking true. 211 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.919 But you know, the most rational and sober guy in 212 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.639 JFK research Land is still my friend. And if that's 213 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.639 all I get out of it, I'm good. Mike Swanson. 214 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.159 I'm happy he's still supporting things. But he doesn't even 215 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.840 want to talk to people on the internet, he says 216 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.919 anymore at all. So you know, he's going to write 217 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.320 some books and do whatever, and we'll see what comes 218 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.120 of that in the future. But anyway, in the meantime, 219 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.679 I need to recruit new people to work with to 220 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.799 create a coalition. BPTE and I have so far agreed 221 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.200 that we're going to do some new work. Not going 222 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.960 to get in all the details of it yet because 223 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.240 I don't want to share them. I don't want to 224 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.600 spoil them, and they may even be subject to change, 225 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.679 but we're gonna work together, even though there is a 226 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.039 built in hostility here in our points of view. Matter 227 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.720 of fact, it's not in spite of that. It's because 228 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.440 of that that I think that we can wind up 229 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.840 doing something very good. Because I don't want a yes man, 230 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.960 and I don't want to be a yes man. I'd 231 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.200 like to come to consensus, move things forward, and have progress, 232 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.240 even whether it is that I figure out a way 233 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:23.200 to make you laugh, think, or do something other then 234 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.279 get caught in these repetitious, continuous cycles of idiocy that 235 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.320 are in other media. I mean, either direct idiocy or 236 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.440 you know, let's repeat our political points over and over again, 237 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.440 whether they make sense or not, and you're supposed to 238 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.519 repeat them now and you do. No matter what kind 239 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.200 of idiocy, I don't want any part of it. I 240 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.679 want to move forward so him and I can challenge 241 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.799 each other, because even like I said, we started off 242 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.440 last week with him basically calling me an mffort, he's 243 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.919 still my friend at the end. So there you go. 244 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.559 That's the formula. As far as I'm concerned. I'd rather 245 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.519 avoid the hostility, but at least it doesn't change my 246 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.039 life and make him try to sabotage everything I'm doing 247 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.200 because he got mad at me for whatever reason, not 248 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.320 at all matter of fact, we had a discussion about 249 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.919 what we're gonna do together in the future, not long after. 250 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:22.879 You're an m effort. You see what I'm getting at here. Anyway, 251 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.799 enough out of my mouth, I've already wasted. Let's see, 252 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.399 Oh god, fourteen minutes with this three one nine, five 253 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.960 two seven five zero one six. I don't want to 254 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.320 talk tonight. I want to look at whatever's on and 255 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.120 I haven't even looked at the call in. Not no 256 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.200 calls yet, which is another thing. We don't get enough callers. 257 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.480 We don't get diverse callers. We're gonna have to change that. 258 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.840 And I don't care if we fish up idiots and 259 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.639 prank callers. We need diversity and something that moves the 260 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.240 hell along, so it's not boring to listen to. So 261 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.159 callers three one nine, five, two seven five zero one six, 262 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.519 you want to call in with something different, please do. 263 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.159 I'll give you. I'll give you extra latitude any which 264 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.440 way you want. I always give everybody extra latitude, So 265 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.919 that's nothing special. I got to come up with a 266 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.360 special reward for people who come on and do something 267 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.159 original and don't just repeat crap when they call in. 268 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.399 I gotta do that. But for now. I mean, you're 269 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.519 gonna do what you're gonna do. So three one nine, 270 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.440 five two seven, five zero one six. I think I 271 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.720 explained myself pretty well, be Pete, And I know you're 272 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.720 over there probably waiting and falling asleep on me because 273 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.000 I'm what I'm doing right now is boring to have 274 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.799 to explain and explain and explain. I gotta stop doing that. 275 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.639 But anyway, what's on your mind? How do you feel 276 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.960 this week? Anything you want to start off with on 277 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:47.080 this particular Friday, Bpte. 278 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.320 Yeah, Chuck, I got a I got a few things 279 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.799 right off the bat. Whether the past two days has 280 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.519 been great. We're back out in the yard, we can 281 00:15:55.519 --> 00:16:01.759 function like humans. It's been wonderful. It was almost a 282 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:10.240 degrees today. But other than that, I got shout outs. One, 283 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.600 I have to watch an Olympics, and I have to 284 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.759 say that coverage has been pretty good. But I want 285 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:25.200 to call out a couple of things. One, the keep 286 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.879 to the medal round Sunday morning. This is the best 287 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.919 thing Sunday morning at eight o'clock, gold medal round for hockey. 288 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.600 Men are going after it, women have already won it. 289 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.120 And I have a special shout out for them. Now, 290 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.200 the women's team went all the way through this one gold. 291 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.799 In all of the games that they played the point 292 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.120 ratio and I have to call out a goalie squad 293 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.320 for the women's team because they are amazing. In all 294 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.120 of the games that they played, matches, whatever you want 295 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.799 to call them, we outscored opponents thirty three to two. 296 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.559 Those goalies only allowed two goals the entire Olympics, and 297 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.359 they should be called out for it. They've done a 298 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.200 great job. So as a recap, Men's gold is Sunday 299 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:24.119 morning at eight ten on NBC. Other than that, I 300 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.119 can never stay mad at you, you crazy m effort. 301 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.240 You know that. 302 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.240 And we do have our differences, but I don't know, 303 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.160 this has been going on, what six years? Seven years? 304 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:36.920 Right? 305 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.880 Anger is nothing now, you know. Occasionally we have to 306 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.279 deal with the drunken individuals that like to show up 307 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.799 in chat and everything else. But that's part of the game. 308 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.119 But other than that, I'm looking forward to us starting 309 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.359 some different stuff and you know, we'll see what comes 310 00:17:59.359 --> 00:17:59.880 down the pike. 311 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:00.720 Yeah. 312 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:05.960 No, that's the thing though, is I'm gonna enjoy being 313 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.440 a partner with somebody who we can go through different 314 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.240 emotions with I mean, and you are frustrating, and I frustrate. 315 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.799 You know, it's a mutual relationship. And you know, the 316 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.279 thing is, I'm trying to get through to you on 317 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.920 certain things. You're trying to get through to me on 318 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.200 certain things. It's not that it's not the argument that's great, 319 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.920 it's the fact that we keep trying and that dynamic 320 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.279 is sorely missing because if you look at other people 321 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.160 with their co hosts and hosts and everything else, which, 322 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.559 by the way, I really want to make this more 323 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:39.119 like a partnership with you and me and try some stuff, 324 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.640 you know what I mean. Like we're going to try 325 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.160 a few things. And I've been developing more of the format. 326 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.359 By the way, I'm gonna need a little little assistance 327 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.720 with it. I want you to contribute to it. But 328 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:54.119 I've been developing different formats, different show ideas. I'd like 329 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.440 to see us link up. I've been talking to the 330 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.480 new Prisoner's Kid over there, number six, and you know, 331 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.720 we might become partially hooked up to that network. And 332 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.359 I want to do that. I want the old days 333 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:11.440 of interactive interconnectivity, you know, where we have our partnerships 334 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.680 and we spread them around with each other, and that 335 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.599 was more interesting. That allowed for a greater share of resources, 336 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.559 That allowed for you know a lot of us to 337 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.640 do things rationally one way or another and still remain independent, 338 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.519 you know what I mean. Nobody sponsoring us, that tries 339 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.440 to tell us what to and what not to say 340 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.640 and things like that, you know, and let the listeners 341 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.160 support the thing that they enjoy. Now today it seems 342 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.359 like you have to do a video podcast. There is 343 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.480 no choice, even if it's just you're staring at some 344 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.240 jerk with a bad haircut who's got a nice background, 345 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.079 and look, I have my nice background, so I must 346 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.039 be interesting. And I've been exploring people that basically have 347 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.359 nothing to say, and I do mean nothing to say, 348 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.359 but they have a whole infrastructure and they're making a 349 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.839 better living than a lot of serious people. And then 350 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.480 there's other people out there that are complaining that they're 351 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:13.880 only making you know, just enough to pay their bills 352 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:19.480 in like New York City. So you know, people that 353 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.640 are making ten grand a month, they're going, I'm just 354 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:29.319 eching by doing a podcast once twice a week and 355 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.839 then a little little bonus extra where they have a 356 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:36.880 get together on Patreon and they're bitching that only ten 357 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.519 grand is coming in. I'm like, you know, if I 358 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.279 got that in a year, what they're bitching about in 359 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.720 a month, you wouldn't hear complaints out of me. If 360 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.640 I had been able to keep some of the other jobs, 361 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.480 that would have just restrained me to not being able 362 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.880 to speak my mind. I'd have sixty grand a year, 363 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.119 I'd have seventy grand a year. I'd have different jobs 364 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.359 that added up to probably you know, I'd be making 365 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.440 a good living. But I'm not out for the money. 366 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:03.960 Yeah good. 367 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.640 I was going to say. Part of that is just, 368 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.039 you know, look at how the market has flooded since COVID. 369 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.160 You know, people found themselves at home, basically locked out 370 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.160 of their jobs, they couldn't go anywhere. People started hitting 371 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.720 the net. That's where you saw a lot of these 372 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.640 people really get cranked up, was during COVID, and I 373 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.000 think they basically flooded the market. So you think about it, kid, 374 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.000 they did, but they have a competition out there. 375 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.880 But even with the competition, like like, let me give 376 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.839 you an area stuttering John, who I had on the show, 377 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.759 and that's why I released re released that interview with him, 378 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.319 and we have a caller. I want to get to 379 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.839 him next. But media analysis is something I like to do. 380 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.559 And nobody ever likes my media analysis because I'm never 381 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.000 a friendly to the right people, apparently. But I'm honest 382 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.960 about what it is I see, and my point of 383 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.920 view is different from the majority. So I think that's interesting, 384 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.359 not like it's just contrarian all the time. Some stuff 385 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.319 I like regardless, you know, and it's just I like 386 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.079 it just because I like it. But other things I 387 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.000 break down and I go, this is at least of 388 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.200 interest because it's not just the same as everything else, 389 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.839 you know what I mean. Anyway, Stuttering John used to 390 00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.759 be on the Howard Stern Show. He was a Tonight 391 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.680 Show announcer. Blah blah blah. Well, nowadays he's just like 392 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.400 a drunken idiot who gets on YouTube like once or 393 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.599 twice a day and pretty much bitches and moans about stuff, 394 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.240 gets drunk, drools on himself, and you know, people pay 395 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.240 him a couple hundred bucks a day, okay to do 396 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.319 that pretty much, that's the bottom line. He thinks he's 397 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.559 still a genius, he thinks he's a writer, he thinks, 398 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.119 but he really was just a stunt idiot for Howard 399 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.039 Stern because they used to write his line, send him 400 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.640 out to ask outrageous questions, and then Jay Leno brought 401 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.519
