Anyway, not much 9 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.520 happening guest wise this week. But I figured i'd bring 10 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.200 you a couple of interesting things or points of interest 11 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.840 or whatever, quick note according to the Daily Mail. And 12 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.799 I will drop this particular story in the live Chatroommetochelli 13 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.719 dot com, which you can always go back and roll 14 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.520 back later if you like, or check with the show 15 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.519 notes at some point I do put those in there 16 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.480 for you guys. Anyways, Yeah, show notes and all that. 17 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.359 I'll give you one of the articles I'm reading from 18 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.480 Daily Mail. Here we go. Now. A couple of years ago, 19 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.519 everybody was telling me the different things I should do, 20 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.760 et cetera, et cetera with banking with my money, move 21 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.439 away from PayPal, whatever. But you know everybody was using 22 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.799 Zel to send money between their bank accounts. I don't 23 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.239 have a bank account anymore. Anyway. Zell, used by one 24 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:35.319 hundred and fifty million, shuts down its app Okay, so 25 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.000 Chase Bank to restrict key online feature used by millions 26 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.359 because it was a New York Chase based app. Okay 27 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.439 New York Chase Bank based app Anyway, one of the 28 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.879 biggest names in digital banking, has officially shut down its app, 29 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.159 sending millions scrambling to make sure they have a way 30 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.799 of sending money. Zell, which has one hundred and fifty 31 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.680 million customers in the US, will no longer allow users 32 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.519 to make payments through their standalone app. The company initially 33 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.680 warned users that their app was shutting down its payment 34 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.719 services on October thirty first, twenty twenty four, and on Tuesday, 35 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.960 the change went into effect. Although millions of Americans used 36 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.599 Zell to pay their rent, pay bills, and send money 37 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.560 to friends and family, the company noted that only two 38 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.319 percent of these transactions take place on the standalone app itself. 39 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.840 The vast majority of users actually access Zel through their bank, 40 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.039 which led the digital payment giant to decide it was 41 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.840 time to cut their app. Zell launched the twenty seventeen 42 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.479 launched in twenty seventeen with the backing of thirty banks 43 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.800 operating in the US, including Bank of America, JP, Morgan Chase, 44 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:54.080 and Wells Fargo. Okay, look, here's the thing. It's just 45 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.080 the app, first of all. And if you don't use 46 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.759 the zel app, you don't need access to it. You're fine. 47 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.560 But just like an anything, none of these digital services, 48 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.520 alleged things that are supposed to exist, they never stick 49 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:11.039 around that long. Nothing in the tech space does. That's 50 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.479 just part of the reality of the reality. Okay, so 51 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.719 Zell's app is gonna go away. And besides that, it 52 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.960 was just a cooperative little venture so they could figure 53 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.400 out how to keep everything coherent when it comes to 54 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.919 tracking your money. See, they can't track PayPal that well, 55 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.919 they can't track a lot of these other payment services, 56 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.199 especially the ones that are owned and operated by you know, 57 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.960 countries outside of ours, like Ali Baba and all these 58 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.120 other things. Right, Stripe not a US based thing. Elon 59 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.560 Musk didn't invent PayPal, by the way, but it's an 60 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:49.199 international concern and the American government doesn't have control of it. 61 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.520 And the American government doesn't have control of the banks, 62 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.520 but the banks don't control these other apps, these other things. 63 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.000 So what they're gonna do, just like they're gonna do 64 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.080 with the CBDC, which nobody worried about anymore, and all 65 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.879 that good stuff, is they're going to create an equivalent. 66 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.199 They're going to integrate everything, and then eventually it'll just 67 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.800 be that way. You know, you used to have to 68 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.479 go to an ATM physically transfer money, show up with 69 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.439 a deposit slip in a bank, and all these other 70 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.040 good things. Even go to a bank with a check. 71 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.240 Now you can take a picture of it with your iPhone. Click, click, 72 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.959 and you cash a check. No longer need for a 73 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.279 paper trail. I wonder if that's got anything to do 74 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.759 with the illegitimate setup of the money system to begin with. Anyway, 75 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.680 Pay no attention to me. I'm just a conspiracy theorist 76 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.639 after all. But watch as we move into the digital 77 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.720 space where you will constantly be in danger of simply 78 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.720 being terminated, erased, having your account, you know, either by 79 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:52.560 mistake or by direct decree, removed from the system. None 80 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.839 of this money is your money, even though you need 81 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.120 it to survive, because it's the only way that people 82 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.399 are making exchanges anyways, stay on the lookout for that. 83 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.720 Trump tells his inner circle, according to Let's see what 84 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.879 is this political magazine, Trump tells his inner circle that 85 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.759 Musk will leave soon. And by the way, I'm seeing 86 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.000 this floated out there and a lot of media outlets, 87 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.959 Elon Musk is going to go away soon. I think 88 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.519 the overblown exaggeration over exactly how many you know, Tesla's 89 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.040 are being attacked and Tesla dealerships are being protested and 90 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.639 people are lighting them on fire and king people's cars 91 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.879 and all that good stuff. Maybe Elon's had enough, you know. 92 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.000 Besides that damage already done. Whatever he was gonna do 93 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.079 is already been done. You think you're being filled in 94 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.040 as it happens in real time. But whatever the richest 95 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.600 man on the planet decided to do to the government 96 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.240 in his own favor has already been done. Did he 97 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.560 pay Trump for the privilege, did he just cozy up 98 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.199 to him to get there, or you know, is it 99 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.800 actually President Musk? At this point, A lot of different 100 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.199 things floated around out there. But here's the bottom line, 101 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.879 and it's very simple, and it's nothing new. It's not 102 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.160 even actually news, and like I said, lots about let's 103 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.639 even CNN, I think had you know some live stories 104 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.560 about is Elon Musk about to exit from government service? Oh, 105 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.079 he's coming up on his whatever probationary days. You know, 106 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.680 in normal times we would listen to these standards and whatever. 107 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.000 But right now we're doing all kinds of things without 108 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.079 normalcy or paying attention to the old Guard or the 109 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.199 constitution everything else. You know, trumpet his third terminal. Anyway, 110 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.120 this story, like I said in Politico, but yeah, it's 111 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.800 just a good representation of the rumors, etc. Regarding Musk 112 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.319 and his either relationship or lack thereof, with the Presidency, 113 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:50.759 the White House, the government in general. So I told 114 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.319 you about Zell, I told you about the interconnectivity. I 115 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.480 told you about let's see Elon Musk, the guy who 116 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.639 used to be over at PayPal, and what the deal 117 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.519 was there? If we just take a look at a 118 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.959 couple other headlines. Right, let's see, allegedly Trump is getting 119 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.800 ready to purge a whole bunch of national security officials 120 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.360 over concerns they're not loyal, according to the AP. But 121 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.240 here's the lie that they are hiding in this. It's 122 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.680 not that Trump is terminating people over his paranoia and loyalty. 123 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.800 Although he would do that, it's totally in character. That's 124 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.439 not what's happening. He can only rotate so many people 125 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.959 into positions of power at a time that paid him off. 126 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.800 Some people had to wait on the bench. I mean, 127 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.959 you know, to the highest bidder went the first slot 128 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.079 in line. But just like waiting for concert tickets, when 129 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.560 your time comes up, you can buy the best seat possible, 130 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.519 as long as you've got online first. Okay. Anyway, K 131 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.920 through twelve students must as sign a certification against DEI 132 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.519 to receive federal money. The administration says, yeah. They sent 133 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.199 out a letter this week to a lot of schools, 134 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.480 mainly in the South, but a lot of school saying, 135 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.920 you know, look, no federal funds whatsoever. Remember they said, 136 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.959 we're going to get rid of the Department of Education 137 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.879 that has all these rules and this and that, and 138 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.279 it's totally failed. But we're still going to send money 139 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.560 to the states. Well not unless you do what we 140 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:20.240 have politically deemed is correct or incorrect. I hope everybody 141 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.800 remembers this in case a Democrat gets in there and 142 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.000 decides you're not going to get any money unless you 143 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.879 sign on with the EI, and then you little people 144 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.919 out there could experience the whiplash of the method, but 145 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.080 pay no attention to that as well. Right anyway, the 146 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.559 Justice Department declined to prosecute Texas A. G. Paxton in 147 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.919 the final weeks of Biden's turn. According to the AP sources, 148 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.840 the Justice Department quietly decided in final weeks of biden 149 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:54.240 administration not to prosecute Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, effectively 150 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.159 ending the corruption investigation that cast a long shadow over 151 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.679 the political career of a ally of President Donald Trump. 152 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.000 The Associated Press has learned, you know what, screw it. 153 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.120 I'm not even going to finish with the Associated Press story. 154 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:14.799 And well why why, Chuck? Why? Very simple. This wasn't 155 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.360 some sort of like they dropped the investigation for good 156 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.559 cause or decided to have mercy on the guy or 157 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:25.000 none of that. This was a calculus, a calculation, and 158 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:29.519 the calculus stated, look, is it worth it at the 159 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.559 very very end here when we're going to sign off 160 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.519 on the pardon for a hunter and everybody else, and 161 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.080 we're gonna get fauci a preemptive part and then et cetera, 162 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.759 et cetera. Do we have time to bust this guy's balls? 163 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.440 Probably not, and he's not a big target anyway. Matter 164 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.279 of fact, I would think that really it was people 165 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.759 in this guy's circle that decided to amplify his close 166 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.080 association with Donald Trump in order to utilize this as 167 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.000 a grievance to further his political career. In other words, 168 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.000 he may have legitimately been investigated. At one point, the 169 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.960 Biden administration dropped it. They had enough other problems to 170 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.559 deal with, including, you know, maybe making sure the president's 171 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:18.320 shoes are tied. And yeah, they had a lot to do. 172 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.600 And guess what, Hey, we don't have time for this, 173 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.120 and it's not worth it anyway. And this guy's a 174 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.320 tiny fish, and this guy actually amplified it. And now 175 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.000 this is the closing press release for it. Don't forget 176 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.240 about me. I'm politically important. He thinks he has a 177 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.759 career in politics. Let's see if you hear the name 178 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.360 Ken Paxton. In the near or distant future, US bans 179 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.360 government personnel in China from romantic or sexual relations with 180 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.600 Chinese citizens. The US government has banned American government personnel 181 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.000 in China from any romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens. 182 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.080 The Associated Presses learned the policy was put into effect 183 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:08.759 by departing US ambassador Nicholas Burns in January, shortly before 184 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:14.440 he left China. Biden administration almost like an f you 185 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.080 to Mitch McConnell. Hey, look, you work for the government. 186 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.879 Don't have sex with the Chinese. I bet there's another 187 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.399 reason behind that. But do we have time for that? No? 188 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:32.720 No live update. Global leaders react to Trump's tariffs. Remember yesterday, 189 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:37.879 just yesterday was Liberation Day, folks. Anyway, Trump's changes into 190 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.679 the federal government aren't yet a clear political winner or 191 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:46.600 loser ap nork poll youah, no kidding, You need to 192 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.120 pull to figure that out. For better or for worse, 193 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.200 for disaster or whatever. Yes, some people will be directly 194 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:58.600 affected by the interruption of flows of revenue or resources. Yes, yes, yes, 195 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.120 but the true impact of this is going to take months. 196 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.679 Whether it's good, bad, or indifferent, You're not gonna know 197 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.200 for months, because welcome to reality in bureaucracy Land. What 198 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.399 are they stupid over there? Anyway? Creating and sharing deceptive 199 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.399 AI generated media is now a crime in New Jersey. 200 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.679 Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation Wednesday, making the creation 201 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.600 and dissemination of so called deceptive deep fake media a 202 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:33.440 crime punishable by up to five years in prison, and 203 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:43.519 establishing a basis for lawsuits against perpetrators. Okay, by the way, 204 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:47.799 speaking of perpetrators and freedom of speech and art, prosecutors 205 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.720 want Young Thug, which is apparently a rapper's name. Now 206 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.519 not very inventive, but rather direct Young Thug in prison 207 00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:00.879 over a viral post that sparked a backlash. Prosecutors say 208 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:06.039 the Grammy winning artist violated his probation by responding to 209 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.240 a social media post that included a photo of an 210 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.159 investigator in the District Attorney's office with a caption that said, 211 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.919 the investigator is quote the biggest liar in the DA's 212 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.159 office end quote. Okay, so they're gonna try and put 213 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:27.559 this guy in jail because he said a lawyer's a liar. 214 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.600 Let's see the biggest liar in the DA's office. And 215 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.360 this guy's the biggest. So he's the winner. He's the king, 216 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:40.759 king liar among the lawyers. Well, I don't think anybody 217 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.480 cares about freedom of speech in New America anyway. Tell 218 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.320 you what, I'm gonna take a quick break and get 219 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.519 into something that does have to do with freedom and speech, 220 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.279 something I do care about. I took a couple of 221 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.279 polls on X in order to gather data from you, 222 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.519 the listeners, to see what you thought about something. And 223 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.759 I'm going to spend the rest the show on that 224 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.639 because this news doesn't look much like new news. Looks 225 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.039 kind of depressing, stupid, pointless, redundant, and repetitive, but hey, 226 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.080 it is what it is. Here on a Thor's Day 227 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.720 O'Kelly effect. Stick Around. 228 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.879 The War State by Michael Swanson explains the great national 229 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.919 transformation that took place and put the Kennedy presidency in 230 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.360 the context of the times and reveals never before published 231 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.080 information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would not 232 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.759 have been assassinated if he had been president two hundred 233 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.159 years ago. His assassination took place in the context of 234 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.200 the Cold War and the rise of the national security state. 235 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.840 Before World War II, the United States was a continental republic. 236 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.240 In the decade that followed, it became an imperial superpower. 237 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.080 Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba, 238 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.759 but knew that there were short range missiles on the island, 239 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.879 armed with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy because 240 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.759 they were on mobile launchers. Their invasion could have led 241 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.720 to a Third World War, and they wanted to go 242 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.960 to war anyway. The War State by Michael Swanson reveals why, 243 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.559 and we'll show you what President Kennedy was up against. 244 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.440 For more information, The War State, dot. 245 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:20.879 Com, sludge. 246 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.799 Face, my Life, spen. 247 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:43.559 Cot shut through God, here it all, Oh chill a 248 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.279 fact of cell. 249 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.559 Treason truth breaking through. 250 00:15:52.639 --> 00:16:01.360 The bang on the. 251 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.159 War you. 252 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:10.519 Fat, oh Chilly dot. 253 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.120 Com under roll of brass, rattle bols beast that smash 254 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.720 fire flows through everythin little solm at least the pain. 255 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:24.720 Change rip read the night crazys ignite the fight.

So why 267 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.079 not let's get there. Here's what I did on Twitter, 268 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.480 as I don't know last week something like that. I 269 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.119 decided to run three polls, okay, and my three polls 270 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.559 or to ask people after I had gathered a little 271 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.079 inside information mainly off of Facebook, but off of a 272 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.599 couple of emails where people were talking to me about comedians, 273 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.720 because I need to laugh at this time. I got 274 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.519 to make fun of some of this stuff, and I'd 275 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.599 rather be laughing watching comedy, comedic things, comedies, et cetera. 276 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.519 I mean, I am going to watch the New Squid 277 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.160 Game when it comes out. But I've always been a 278 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.079 comedy a cartoon guy, and a lot of people don't 279 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.200 know this, but I am quite the connoisseur of stand 280 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.440 up comedians. Now what's funny is I wanted to see 281 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.759 if people, even on my Twitter feed had you know, 282 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.759 very pedestrian, mainstream sort of you know, thoughts on stand 283 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.759 up comedians, or if they were into some of the 284 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.640 lesser known niche if you will, comedians, you know, are 285 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.920 they into that or the into the mainstream stuff that 286 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.319 everybody talks about the regular media talks about. In other words, 287 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.519 they might have alternative tastes in music. Sometimes they had 288 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.759 alternative taste in media. But now that's you know, gone 289 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.599 by the wayside. You're either on the Trump train or 290 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.359 you're not on the Trump train. Uh. And you definitely 291 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.640 don't delve into conspiracies anymore, although you may parrot the 292 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.720 old stuff, sure why not and also repeat plenty of 293 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:43.119 dis info and nonsense. And I'm surprised you people aren't 294 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.319 stabbed at each other over flat Earth at this point. 295 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:50.480 But anyway, I wanted to see if my typical Twitter 296 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.400 follower was more of a mainstream thinker or you know, 297 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.160 was out there a bit. And I realized I got 298 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.400 a lot of mainstream thinkers on my Twitter feed. So 299 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.279 what did I ask? Okay, I asked them to reply 300 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.279 with their picks or pick from this list of people 301 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:10.079 who I sourced from private messages and stuff, and answer 302 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.599 me a couple of questions. And let's see the first one. 303 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.559 Let's do these in order, and I'll see if I 304 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.759 can get it all right, Okay, I wanted to know 305 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.319 about stand up comedians, and I wanted to get at 306 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.640 least three of them together. Now, my favorite stand up 307 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.559 comedian of all time is Sam Kinnison, all right, And 308 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.799 you know what, I put him on one of the 309 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:35.799 polls because he was involved in the conversations I was having, 310 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.799 and I said I would source directly with my choices 311 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.480 for the conversations that I have. But you don't see 312 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.680 a comedian on this list by all means. Pick one 313 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.279 and reply with it. I'll add it to your votes. Okay, 314 00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:56.680 just I'll add one to your votes. One person decided 315 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.000 to add the additional comedian, and I think it was 316 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.680 Aaron Franz of Remember right anyway, kind of irrelevant. My 317 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.000 favorite pick of all time and always will be, and 318 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.519 he is stuck unfortunately in nineteen ninety two or three 319 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.880 in my brain, because that's where he'll always be was 320 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:18.160 Sam Kittison. And in fact, I remember after Sam died, 321 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:21.240 which I already had, you know, some albums of his 322 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:27.359 and this and that I was sitting there and listening to, 323 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.000 even though I think it came out before he died. 324 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:35.480 It was called Live from Hell. And he always said 325 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.039 he would go to hell and he'd meet the devil, 326 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.319 and the devil would be disappointed because he was married, 327 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.279 and you know, can't scare a marry guy, et cetera, 328 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.839 et cetera. But anyway, Sam's Can Meet comedy to me 329 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.519 was always the best, and I'm gonna play a short 330 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.920 example of why, from the Live from Hell album pussy Fuck. 331 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.680 With My Favorite President, My favorite President, John F. 332 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.480 Kennedy, my personal favorite President was. 333 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.559 Okay, I'm not playing this just because he's says John F. 334 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.839 Kennedy on it. But I did select it partially because 335 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.759 of that. It's not about the JFK joke, by the way, 336 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:09.599 It's just his delivery, his actions, his thought pattern. I 337 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.279 love this guy. I thought he was the best. And 338 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.079 this is a lesser known of Sam's albums. He had 339 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.640 one which was called have You Seen Me Lately? Had 340 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.359 a picture of him like as a teenager on the 341 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.160 front cover. He had, of course, the most famous one, 342 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.880 which was made into an HBO special called Breaking All 343 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.039 the Rules, but it was called something else on tape, 344 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.319 and I'm kind of embarrassed. I don't remember exactly what 345 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.200 it was called. Let me see, maybe I can figure 346 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.279 it out. And I first fell in love with Sam's 347 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.519 stand up on I think it might have been called 348 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.519 have You Seen Me Late? No, not have you Seen 349 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:53.599 Me Lately? Damn, I forget. Anyway, Sam got famous with 350 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.240 breaking all the rules one hour HBO special, that's true. 351 00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.839 I saw him at the Ritz in New York City. 352 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.839 But where I first saw Sam actually was in a 353 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:07.440 bunch of what they called, you know, Rodney Dangerfields Young 354 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.559 Comedian specials. And Sam didn't look like a young comedian, 355 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.200 although I think he kind of was. But then again, 356 00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:15.240 what's young for a comedian? And why the hell is 357 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.160 the oldest guy you could think of? Rodney Dangerfield, the 358 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.000 late Rodney Daingerfield doing the young comedians thing. I don't know. 359 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.440 Then they did young comedian specials for a little while 360 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.920 on HBO. I used to love that stuff and eat 361 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.400 it up. But Sam was on there. Two of the 362 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:36.000 Dangerfield specials Sam did. And anyway, if you don't know 363 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.920 Sam Kennison again, here is that John F. Kennedy bit 364 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.000 that I cut off. Let me back it up a little, 365 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.200 go back to that, okay, and play this a couple 366 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.880 of minutes of Sam Live from Hell. 367 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:53.279 Here's the way. My said, here's the way of the future. 368 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.720 Thirty years later, Yeah, here's the way, all right, So 369 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:01.720 busy fuck with my favorite. 370 00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.759 President, my favorite president, John F. 371 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.279 Kennedy my personal favorite President Gabazon charming guy, great good President. 372 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:16.480 Fuck Meryl Monroe. President Nice stands for Marylyn Road. I 373 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.880 know some people giving shit about that. Yeah, like you 374 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.359 wouldn't know. 375 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:24.079 Yeah, oh, in case you didn't realize, I love that. 376 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.039 By the way, the quality on this is not as 377 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.200 good as some of the other comedy albums Sam did. 378 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.960 But this is back in the day when they released 379 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.359 comedy albums. You know, it wasn't just a streaming special. Uh, 380 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.039 And I had it on cassette. I remember that. Anyways, Yeah, 381 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.039 it's interesting here, but I gotta also tell you this 382 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.559 kind of breaks my normal convention where we're gonna have 383 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.599 We're gonna have some cursing here, and Sam every other 384 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.240 word was something you couldn't broadcast on TV, or at 385 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.920 least you used to not be able to. All Right, 386 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:54.920 So it is what it is, and this is gonna 387 00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:57.440 have to be marked explicit in the podcast feeds, so 388 00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:01.640 mainly just because of the clips. But yeah, even though 389 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.400 I don't want to go on air and do dirty stuff, 390 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.079 I mean, Sam was brilliant even when he went on 391 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:08.599 Howard Stern and they practically wore out the damn delay 392 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:13.079 button in case you can find it online somewhere. Find 393 00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:18.160 the infamous bon Job argument where Sam promises to show 394 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.759 up with bon Job and doesn't. Howard Stern freaks out 395 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:22.720 and they kind of, you know, go to war with 396 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.960 each other, almost this battle between him and Howard Stern, 397 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.759 and the controversy because Howard felt screwed over by Sam Kennison. 398 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.640 And Sam also famously didn't show up for the Joan 399 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.039 Rivers Joan Rivers had a midday talk show that was 400 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.720 semi popular for a minute, and Sam like you know, 401 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.799
