That's right.

00:02:36

Yeah,

00:02:36

that's right. Hell yeah, man. How you doing, brother?

00:02:39

I'm good.

00:02:41

Yeah.

00:02:41

Yeah.

00:02:42

Feeling good.

00:02:42

Feeling good. I was dragging ass this morning.

00:02:45

Same.

00:02:45

Yeah. But then, uh, you know, momentum kicked in.

00:02:50

Yeah.

00:02:50

Feel good. Got

00:02:51

a little workout in. Hell yeah. Feeling good now. Yeah. I think my body's getting ready for hibernation. Oh, is it? I think that's that time of year. I think that's what it is.

00:02:57

Yeah.

00:02:57

Time to plug the butt and go to sleep.

00:02:59

Plug the butt. You do that before you go to bed? Is that a nightly ritual?

00:03:04

That's crazy. That's what bears do, dog.

00:03:07

They plug their butt.

00:03:07

They do plug their butt. That's a real thing. Like berries and shit and grass and pine needles.

00:03:12

You're making shit up now.

00:03:13

Listen,

00:03:14

you are making—

00:03:15

I am willing to bet you, um,

00:03:17

whatever, you are

00:03:18

making shit up. Gentleman's bet of $5. Do bears plug their butts for hibernation? Okay. Do they? Okay. Let me see. Ah, okay.

00:03:33

Yes. Bears naturally form a fecal plug known as a tapin in their lower intestine during winter hibernation to block defecation while they sleep.

00:03:44

Yeah.

00:03:45

The composition of the plug is made of dried intestinal secretions, sloughed-off intestinal cells, hair, Ingested while grooming, shed footpad skin, and occasional bits of plant bedding.

00:03:58

Okay. Pine needles.

00:04:00

No manual plugging. Bears do not deliberately plug themselves with rocks or sticks or berries. Instead, the body naturally builds up and hardens the mass as the intentional— the intestinal walls absorb fluid over several months.

00:04:17

Bears have butt plugs.

00:04:18

They do not plug their butts.

00:04:20

Their butts get plugged.

00:04:21

Let's play it back. Play it back. He said they plug their butts. If this was the court of law, you would lose.

00:04:28

Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, halfway there.

00:04:31

Yeah. So you've been plugging your butt.

00:04:33

Yeah. My body doesn't do it naturally. Just fucking— that's, bro, that's crazy work.

00:04:41

I didn't know that.

00:04:42

I know some things. Yeah.

00:04:44

You just learn something new every single time you listen here.

00:04:47

Dr. Dolittle.

00:04:48

Dr. Bare Butts over there. Anyway,

00:04:52

if you haven't put your kids out the room yet. Yeah.

00:04:55

Why does DJ plug his butt?

00:04:57

No, bro. Listen, they're going to go to school and like during biology class, they have a new fact to teach.

00:05:02

No, they're going to get in there during drag queen story hour and start talking about how you told them to put stuff in their butt.

00:05:10

I have a random fact for the day.

00:05:12

Oh, really?

00:05:12

I learned something. It's not about butt plugs. Walmart has developed an AI that if you put anything off the shelf on the floor, the staff would get notified and someone will come to you within 60 seconds. I would not have believed this, but this happened with Jake Arwold. He was fixing the First Form cans on the shelf and he had a gallon of milk in his hand. He put it on the floor and somebody came from the staff side within 60 seconds to talk to him. AI, there's a Walmart AI that scans the whole floor of the store to look for spills.

00:05:51

Huh.

00:05:51

And anything, if the product is on the floor, all the staff will be notified and someone will come to you and look at that area.

00:05:59

Huh.

00:06:00

Ah, I didn't know that.

00:06:00

Think about that.

00:06:02

That's pretty cool.

00:06:02

That's kind of crazy.

00:06:03

You are welcome. That was 20 rupees.

00:06:05

How they—

00:06:05

so what was the more interesting fact? Let's have a poll. What was more interesting, that bears and DJ plug their butts or Walmart has AI to detect spills?

00:06:21

Yeah.

00:06:22

Spills.

00:06:23

I don't know. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a toss-up.

00:06:26

We have to see this in the comments.

00:06:28

It's a salad toss.

00:06:29

Yeah, absolutely. Let's see who wins. In the comments.

00:06:33

Yeah. Salad. All right. Hell

00:06:34

yeah.

00:06:35

Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. That's

00:06:36

great.

00:06:39

Um, Andy, I know you played a lot of sports. You didn't play soccer though, did you?

00:06:42

Yeah. Growing up.

00:06:42

Oh, you did play soccer? Yeah. Okay.

00:06:44

So it was actually our main sport we played since we were little kids.

00:06:47

Really?

00:06:47

Yeah, dude. It develops all your athletic skills. Like if you want your kids to be an athlete, dude, get them in indoor soccer, not outdoor soccer, indoor soccer, because it's way faster and you got to move. way more agile, way more quick, and you're working in, you know, sprints of 5, 10 yards. It makes you super agile and explosive.

00:07:06

It's a lot of fucking running. It was too much.

00:07:07

I was always the goalkeeper.

00:07:09

Yeah. Well, I mean, look, dude, it's, it's a, it's a real sport, you know? And so when you're a kid and you want to develop their, their athletic ability, indoor soccer is amazing.

00:07:18

Yeah. Well, speaking of soccer, St. Louis, we have some amazing teams here. Yeah. Um, from all different sports backgrounds. Um, until that fucker took the Rams out of here, but We are, uh, 2026 champions. St. Louis City SC soccer team.

00:07:35

Really?

00:07:35

Just won the fucking US Open Cup. Yeah.

00:07:37

Is that for the whole league?

00:07:38

I think, yeah.

00:07:39

That's pretty awesome.

00:07:40

Pretty fucking sick. Happened last night. And, uh, the— here, I got a clip here from— it was, it was 0-0. They were tied and they went to penalty kicks and we fucking won.

00:07:50

Oh, that's cool.

00:07:50

Yeah. Check this out.

00:07:54

Oh man. That's awesome. Bro, this

00:07:57

is Stadium's rolling.

00:08:01

Yeah, that's awesome.

00:08:09

You did the fucking slide and everything. Yeah, fucking sick.

00:08:14

Yeah, that's cool, dude.

00:08:16

I didn't realize how big of a soccer— like, we have a lot of soccer. St.

00:08:20

Louis is a massive soccer town.

00:08:21

I didn't know that. Oh yeah, dude, I did not know that.

00:08:23

Bosnians,

00:08:24

it's like a soccer mecca, bro.

00:08:25

Yeah.

00:08:26

Bosnians play soccer.

00:08:27

That's crazy.

00:08:28

They do, don't they? Yeah.

00:08:31

You guys play soccer too?

00:08:33

Soccer is the most favorite sport in the world.

00:08:36

I knew that. I knew that. Um, well, you wanna piss some people off real quick? Let me ask you this. What sport requires the most athleticism? Like what, what is the hardest sport? What has the most athletes would you say out of all the sports? Oh, I can't wait for the comment section on this. I

00:08:57

think, I think the hardest thing— I mean, I really think the hardest thing to do in, in sports is hit a baseball.

00:09:03

Okay.

00:09:03

Yeah, it's, it's the hardest thing to do consistently in sports

00:09:07

is baseball.

00:09:08

Yeah. And it's high hand-eye coordination, right? And there's some athletic ability. And so for sometimes people say, well, that's not really athletic ability. No, go fucking try it.

00:09:15

Yeah.

00:09:16

It's one of the hardest things to do. You get in the Hall of Fame doing it 3 times out of 10. You know what I'm saying? Um, you know, I think soccer has a lot of tremendous athletes, dude. Um, you know, one of the things that I think about the United States is that if all of our athletes that went across, you know, football, basketball, baseball, all played soccer like they do in most countries, we'd beat the fuck out of everybody.

00:09:41

Every year.

00:09:41

Every year. It'd be 10 to nothing in every fucking game.

00:09:44

Yeah.

00:09:44

But, you know, because soccer is not as popular as it is here or here as it is in the world, you know, we end up diluting that out. Um, but dude, you know, it's all different, man. You know, people have a different opinion for all this shit. You know, people will say golf's not a sport. They'll say racing's not a sport. I mean, dude.

00:10:05

Okay. I was listening. The racing piece though, let's talk about it. Cause I was, I was, I was in that band camp.

00:10:09

No one could fucking say shit about racing race car not being a sport unless you've driven a fucking race car on the track.

00:10:15

Or at least even seen it.

00:10:16

Like, dude, dude, listen, dude.

00:10:18

That shit's a sport.

00:10:19

It's total concentration. Like, there's a physical toll it takes on your body. My first 10 laps that I ever did in a race car, I had to get out and lay on the ground. Like, I was so exhausted. 10 laps.

00:10:32

Yeah. Okay.

00:10:33

And it's, it's not driving a car like people think. People think it's like driving really fast on the road. No, it's, it's counterintuitive to what you even know. You know, most people, like, for example, like most people, they see a red light and they're 300, 400 yards away. They start ease on the brake and they come up and they

00:10:54

slow stop.

00:10:54

Yeah. And racing, dude, you're going full— I mean, I don't mean like half throttle. I don't mean 3/4 throttle. I mean fucking full throttle. And then you're going full brake pressure and the Gs that it creates takes your breath away. And then you try to turn and you're like, dude, It's just, it's a violent thing to do. It's very difficult. Um, I wouldn't say they're the best athletes, but they're certainly athletes.

00:11:19

Yeah.

00:11:19

They're all fit. They're all super fit.

00:11:21

They all run. They have to run because dude, to do a 2-hour stint in a fucking race car requires conditioning, dude. Yeah. Especially when it's 150 fucking degrees in the car, dude. And you're in a fire suit. You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, it's It's intense shit. And I think a lot of people, you know, they discount this or that. And it depends on what you consider, you know, the most impressive athletic feat, you know? I mean,

00:11:47

it's subjective.

00:11:48

It is. It is, dude. And I've played most sports, you know, I think the hardest sport that I ever played in my life was wrestling. Wrestling's the hardest fucking sport mentally and physically, because number one, there's nowhere to hide. Yeah.

00:12:00

It's just you.

00:12:01

Okay. Like, it's not like football where you're running out on the field with your team.

00:12:04

Yeah. Right.

00:12:05

And you know, you could kind of like be like, oh, well, you know, Wrestling, dude, or like jiu-jitsu, you know, you can't hide. Like you're out there and everybody sees your, your, your wins and your losses and your, the right moves and the mistakes. And wrestling, dude, it's like full, you're almost in like full tension all the time for, for 6 minutes of wrestling, you know, 3 2-minute rounds. And dude, it's, it's fucking hard. And, uh, That's the hardest sport I ever did. Yeah. Um, who's the best athletes? I don't know. I do think the hardest thing to do in sports though is to hit a fucking baseball.

00:12:43

Baseball. Yeah.

00:12:45

It's very difficult.

00:12:46

Dude, tennis was pretty tough for me.

00:12:48

Tennis is a hard sport.

00:12:49

It's a—

00:12:49

you have to be very quick and agile.

00:12:50

I know people are gonna laugh.

00:12:51

No, it's not.

00:12:52

It's a hard sport.

00:12:53

Sprints the whole time, dude.

00:12:54

I played in high school during the offseason from football, man. I got my footwork.

00:12:58

That's a, that's Okay. So now that's what I'm talking about with soccer.

00:13:01

Yeah,

00:13:02

dude. Um, yeah, man. I don't know. I think it is subjective, dude. I think it just depends. And I'm not one of those guys who'd be like, oh yeah, all these guys are pussies. Like, look, man, to be great at anything, you got to put in the fucking work and every sport takes different fucking things. But you know, these people that say like, you know, uh, I don't know. You know, golf's not a sport. I don't know. Fucking, you got to walk 18 fucking holes in the heat. You got to kick, you know, like it takes a lot of coordination. I mean, I would like you to go out and try to do that. You're competing. I mean, what, what qualifies as a sport,

00:13:41

right?

00:13:41

Instead of a game.

00:13:42

Yeah. Right.

00:13:43

You know, like some people will say golf's a game, not a sport. I would disagree because, you know, you have to have a certain level of athletic coordination to do that. But then you would say, is pool a sport? Is billiards a sport or is it a game?

00:13:57

Oh, I mean, I think it depends on what you're trying to do with it.

00:14:00

No, it's a game.

00:14:02

Yeah. See, but—

00:14:02

It's a game. Okay. So what's the difference between golf and billiards?

00:14:06

Yeah.

00:14:06

It takes coordination.

00:14:07

Right, right. Or bowling even. Is bowling a game?

00:14:11

I don't know. I don't know what determines the difference,

00:14:14

but

00:14:14

we're getting into that area. You know what I mean?

00:14:17

Here's— I have respect for anybody that puts the time in to be great at their own thing.

00:14:22

But I do think the hardest thing in sports for sure is to hit a fucking baseball.

00:14:26

Baseball.

00:14:26

Yeah.

00:14:27

Yeah.

00:14:27

The second hardest thing in sports, like real talk, is just to walk out onto a wrestling match. It's not even the fucking match. It's to walk out. You learn more about yourself in an individual sport, individual combat sport, Just walking out on the fucking mat, dude. I'm telling you, it's the most fucking lonely, scary, fucking nervous.

00:14:51

Who turned the lights off?

00:14:52

Yeah, bro. It's fucking—

00:14:53

Where the fucking machine come from?

00:14:54

Yeah, dude. It's, it's not for everybody.

00:14:57

Yeah.

00:14:58

Like, I, that's one of the things I admire about these like big MMA guys, like that are going out and, you know, in front of the whole world and like, you got to walk out there and like, dude, I'm going to tell you right now, I don't give a fuck how badass those motherfuckers are. I don't give a shit. On the inside, they're fucking— they're scared. Every single one of them. And you got to be able to take that fucking fear and you got to put it over there, dude, and do it in spite of that. And that's something that a lot of people don't have the ability to do. They don't have the ability to compartmentalize their fear and to do the thing anyway.

00:15:30

Hmm.

00:15:30

And that's why, like, when you watch wrestling or you watch jiu-jitsu or you watch MMA, it's impossible not to respect those kinds of people because If you've ever done it, the mental aspect of it is just, it's a different thing, dude. At least it was when I did it. Like, it fucking scared the fuck out of me every single time. Now I was pretty good because I would go out there scared as fuck and I would fucking do, you know, you kind of like, like it makes you aggressive. Right. But like, um, yeah, I mean, you know, and I think that you get to levels, right? There's probably guys who've wrestled 5,000 fucking matches and they don't really get that way anymore, but. Uh, to get into it. I know it's, it's that way, you know.

00:16:12

Hell yeah. Well, congratulations, St. Louis City.

00:16:16

I think overall soccer players are hella, hella athletes.

00:16:19

Oh yeah.

00:16:19

I mean, these dudes are running, you know, 6 to 8 miles in a game, every game.

00:16:25

Yeah.

00:16:25

They're fast. They're fucking coordinated. They're strong. These are not, you know, they get a lot of, they get a lot of shit for like taking spills and shit, but You know, basketball does the same shit. That's right.

00:16:36

You know?

00:16:37

Yeah.

00:16:37

So I didn't really start respecting soccer till my kids started playing, dude. Like back in college, all the soccer players I knew, they were all like, you know, we're football players. They're all, you know, fucking guys are pussies. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, they were cool. You know what I'm saying? They were cool. All right. Yeah. I listen, like I said, I respect anybody.

00:16:54

Cool thing about soccer too is you could play your whole life. There's men's leagues that are 50 plus, 60 plus, still moving. They're still playing soccer.

00:17:01

Yeah. I just don't have that interest in running that much.

00:17:03

Well, I mean, we could tell.

00:17:05

I'd be a goalie. I'd probably be a good— What do you mean by that?

00:17:08

Well, I'm just saying you don't look like a soccer player.

00:17:11

Well, I mean, no, no. I mean, I feel like I could be a goalie, dog. You know what I'm saying?

00:17:17

No, those dudes are usually like 6'5, bro.

00:17:19

Are they really?

00:17:20

Yeah. They're big as fuck.

00:17:22

Yeah. See, that, that's the other thing too that's always hard to tell is like the size.

00:17:26

A lot of those soccer players are small, but a lot of 'em are big.

00:17:28

Yeah. It's like, like baseball players.

00:17:30

Those are big, big dudes, bro. From the stands, they, they look, yeah.

00:17:33

like normal humans though, bro. But you go stand up next to fucking Matt Adams, it's like, fuck.

00:17:37

You remember when Jordan Walker came through here, bro? Bro, that's a big motherfucker.

00:17:41

Fucking big dude. Yeah, it's a big dude.

00:17:44

And then you see a guy, you know, you see like other guys on the team, like they're short, like Mason Wynn.

00:17:49

Yeah.

00:17:49

And you're like, that guy's just like a little dude.

00:17:53

Yeah. Like, dude, like, yeah.

00:17:54

And he's awesome.

00:17:55

He's great.

00:17:56

Yeah. He's fucking awesome. But like, dude, it's just, it's, you know, the big motherfuckers in baseball are big.

00:18:00

They're big, dude.

00:18:01

Yeah. They're like Roger Clemens. Big dude. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Dude, you know, Roger Clemens used to rub fucking Icy Hot on his balls before the game to get pissed off.

00:18:10

That's diabolical.

00:18:11

Yeah, bro. He'd rub Icy Hot on his fucking ballsack so he could get all pissed off and throw the ball. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yes.

00:18:20

That's a fact. I don't know. That's up there with the—

00:18:22

That is hearsay. I never saw him do it, but a lot of my buddies who played major league ball Which, you know, I have a few and they, that's a story about him that he used to rub Icy Hot on his fucking balls.

00:18:34

Let's fucking go. Right. Why are you so mad?

00:18:36

And apparently, dude, everybody on the team was fucking scared of him, dude.

00:18:40

Bro, that's crazy.

00:18:41

Like he'd go out there and like snot be running down his fucking nose and shit. And he just,

00:18:45

oh

00:18:46

fuck. And then you got Mike Piazza who throws a baseball bat at him in the middle of a game.

00:18:50

Fuck.

00:18:51

Like you have to be a fucking idiot to pick a fight with fucking Roger Clemens or Nolan Ryan. You don't remember this, but Nolan Ryan threw a pitch at Robin Ventura, who was a young man at the time. And Nolan Ryan was like in his mid-40s and Ventura ran at him and Nolan Ryan beat his ass.

00:19:06

Jesus. Oh, that's the famous— I know that fight. Yeah. I know that. I've seen that fight. Like, yeah, bro. That's fucking crazy. That's crazy work,

00:19:12

bro. Those dudes are built different, bro.

00:19:15

Yeah.

00:19:15

Guess the tallest baseball player alive.

00:19:17

Who is?

00:19:18

Yeah. Who and how much would be the height roughly?

00:19:20

Well, I think it— well, I mean, playing or not playing?

00:19:23

Uh, one is playing, one is retired.

00:19:25

Well, the retired one was Randy Johnson. He's 6'11.

00:19:29

Um, it doesn't say so, but 6'11 is the correct height.

00:19:32

Yeah.

00:19:33

It says Sean Healy and John Roche. I'm not sure about—

00:19:39

How tall was Randy Johnson?

00:19:41

Randy Johnson?

00:19:42

I think he was, he was 6'10, maybe 6'11. He's big.

00:19:45

6'10.

00:19:46

Yeah.

00:19:46

You're right.

00:19:48

He was called the Big Unit.

00:19:50

Yes, it says so. The nickname is Big Unit.

00:19:52

Bet he was.

00:19:53

£225.

00:19:55

Fuck.

00:19:55

Motherfucker, we were at, we were at this convention one time with, with our buddy Jeff. And, uh, this is like, this is like 2002, 2003. And we got all fucking hammered at this convention and we were with this company. Uh, we were visiting our buddies. This company was called AST out in, they're out of Golden, Colorado. We were at their show and we got all hammered. We're drinking beers and shit. And it was like 2 in the morning. We got in the limousine with the owner and like all the guys are like, dude, let's call Randy. So they call fucking Randy Johnson on the phone. It's like 3, 2:30, 3 o'clock in the morning. He's like, hello? And he's like, Randy, what's up? He's like, what's up? And he's like, we got some people here. He's like, click. Yeah. It's like, fuck you, man.

00:20:44

You guys are probably like, fuck, we're about to meet Randy Johnson. Yeah, dude.

00:20:47

I mean, how would— that's what I do. You call me at 3 in the morning, some bullshit. I

00:20:50

probably wouldn't answer.

00:20:51

Yeah.

00:20:52

I wouldn't answer. No. Fuck. Hell yeah, man. Hell yeah. Well, dude, speaking of sports, we got some crazy shit happening in the, in the world of sports. Um, they're getting some flack right now.

00:21:05

Yeah.

00:21:05

The Atlanta Dream, Golden State Valkyries, they skipped the national anthem. Oh God. Okay. Um, so we're, we're in the, the 3rd straight WNBA Finals game. Okay. And this is causing a lot of people to get upset. And it's— I feel like we always—

00:21:22

Let's, let's get some fanfare for the league.

00:21:26

Yeah.

00:21:26

Finally. And then let's fuck it up.

00:21:28

That's

00:21:29

right. Idiots.

00:21:30

That's right. Because when there was like 100 people at the games, nobody really cared if they were skipping. They were skipping it back then.

00:21:34

Nobody cared.

00:21:34

Right. But you got a lot more eyeballs, bro. And this, this— I feel like this is a recurring, you know, talk track. And so I want to have a conversation on it. But this is a clip from it. Um, where they're leaving literally seconds before the national anthem starts to play. Check this out. There goes the race.

00:22:19

It doesn't surprise me.

00:22:20

No, no, it's not surprising. But here's the thing. So it's in the WNBA's rule book. Okay. Um, their rule book, their official rule book says players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the national anthem. Here's my question, all right? And this is for you, this is for everybody listening and watching. When does it cross over to be a dictator to say, okay, if you don't stand for our national anthem, should there be consequences?

00:22:52

Okay, well, let me, let me ask you this.

00:22:54

Yeah,

00:22:55

what's the purpose of a rule?

00:22:58

Well, I mean, rules can be broken. It's supposed to be enforced, but I mean—

00:23:01

Okay, well, if you have an organization and you have something that you say This is what we do. And you are paid as part of a representative of that organization, whether it be a business, whether it be a sports team, whether it be anything.

00:23:15

Fucking flower shop.

00:23:16

Yeah. And you don't stand or you don't do the thing that they have in the rules, you're probably gonna get fired. That's what happens. That's what happens in real life.

00:23:24

Yeah.

00:23:24

Okay. These people live in delusional world. All right. And the whole reason that WNBA has had problems getting anybody to watch, number one, uh, half the fucking shots don't go near the basket. Okay. It's the fucking truth. Okay. Number 2 is that you got players who think they're like A-list celebrities and that they have all this influence and we're in the W and now I can make a political statement and not realizing that by doing this said political statement, you are actually ruining the fanfare of most of the people that are willing to consider watching your sport so that you can get paid. So how stupid of a motherfucker do you have to be to ruin your own income to make some sort of political statement that nobody wants to see, nobody wants to hear, and doesn't matter? No. Okay, because you're not going to change people's opinions. In fact, you are making them angry and you are making them less likely to support you. And it's like shooting yourself in the foot when you're trying to do something with your own career. Like you have to be a dumb motherfucker to do that or to even allow it.

00:24:35

Yeah.

00:24:36

Like to even allow it. Like the leadership of the WNBA right now should be on the fucking phone or in wherever this is and pull everybody together and say, look, motherfuckers, if you don't do this, you're not going to be in this fucking league.

00:24:48

That's right.

00:24:49

And that's what the fuck it should be.

00:24:50

That's right. Because I mean, dude, to your point, they've done a lot of work to get the viewership up and get the fanfare bought up and bought in and at least watching.

00:24:57

Right.

00:24:59

To do this, like, bro, again, you got to know your demographic. It's going to cost them. It's going to fucking cost them. And they're already, you know, not running in the positives. You know what I'm saying?

00:25:06

Well, it doesn't take a genius to look at Sophie Cunningham.

00:25:09

Right.

00:25:09

Okay. Let's look at Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Cunningham comes out and stands against every fucking thing that those people stand for. And she's the most popular motherfucking player in the league. She's, she's selling the most merch in the league, I think, besides maybe Caitlin Clark.

00:25:24

Yeah.

00:25:25

She's become a fucking, uh, a darling of America.

00:25:28

That's right.

00:25:28

Okay. And it's not because she's white. It's because she stands for what most people believe America should be. Okay.

00:25:38

Well, and she's good. You got that. That's the foundation.

00:25:40

She's tough. No, it goes back to what I said. Most people value American toughness. They, they value grit. They value people who are willing to stand on the line with courage and say, Fuck you. She embodies all of those things, which is why people like her, even if they don't like her.

00:25:56

Right.

00:25:57

Even if they don't like her, they're like, I like her. You know what I'm saying? And then you got all these other girls who have been fortunate enough to grow up in this amazing country where you were able to play a sport, a game for money, and you're going to disrespect the people who have spent their hard-earned money to come and fucking watch you. How do you think that's going to work out for you? That's not going to work out well. And the minute that Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham go out of the fucking league, the league's going to go right back to the same shit. It's going to be the trash league of fucking professional sports because they allow their players to do shit like this.

00:26:40

Should it be mandatory? Like, should it be— should there be an actual federal law?

00:26:45

Yes, I think so.

00:26:46

You think so?

00:26:47

I, I don't— I don't know that it should be a federal law. Like, I don't think that, but I think that, like, dude, I'm gonna tell you this. If I owned a team and the fucking team— the whole team walked out, the next year I'm starting with a new team. Every single fucking one of them is getting cut. All of them.

00:27:05

Yeah. Well, I mean, because I know I've seen videos too. Like, I mean, basketball aside, even at baseball games, I forget where the one was.

00:27:13

Like, bro, this whole shit with Kaepernick back in the day.

00:27:15

Yeah.

00:27:15

When he kneeled, he should have been cut that day immediately. Think, think of what would have happened had the 49ers just said fuck off.

00:27:24

Yeah.

00:27:25

What would have happened? We wouldn't have had all this shit. This shit here wouldn't have been happening. He set the precedent. They failed to make a decision because they're pussies.

00:27:33

They leaned in though. Okay.

00:27:35

And now we have this shit where athletes think that they're political representatives. We can't even watch a fucking sport anymore. without someone making some sort of political statement. And by the way, I don't like it either way. Sports is supposed to be a fucking— a break from that, right? Sports is supposed to be like you and me and that person that we don't have any of the same beliefs in politics. But dude, we're cheering for the fucking team. It's a unifying experience.

00:28:02

Right.

00:28:02

And part of the reason that we have so much division is that we don't have anything left in our country where we can actually go be unified with everybody else because everybody's making everything about fucking politics all the time. Our social issues or identity shit. And like, bro, I want to see some motherfucking balls go in the fucking basket. You know what I'm saying?

00:28:20

Right.

00:28:20

I want to see some players play fucking— play the sport and shut the fuck up. Okay. Most of these people, and I'm not talking about WNBA, I'm talking about all sports. They're politically illiterate. They don't even know what the fuck they're talking about. They're doing what they think they should do without actually knowing what the fuck they are doing, dude. I mean, no offense to any athletes. Okay. But I don't know what you— like, I've been around a lot of athletes and I'm going to say this respectfully. They're not always smart. I don't know how to say it. Like, these people aren't rocket scientists. They're not.

00:28:56

It's just like celebrities, dude.

00:28:57

Like, yeah, they're not scholars. They're fucking athletes.

00:29:00

We don't like you because you're—

00:29:02

Yeah. I don't want to hear your stupid ass fucking shit.

00:29:05

Yeah.

00:29:05

Okay. You might not want to hear my stupid ass shit, but you don't have to listen.

00:29:08

That's right.

00:29:08

You know what I'm saying?

00:29:09

That's right. That's right. No, that's real.

00:29:12

But dude, when we talk about like a sport and you're running an organization and it's a fucking business, it's just bad business. Not to mention the disrespect. Like how many people are sitting in that fucking audience right there that had an aunt or an uncle or a fucking mom or a dad or a son who might've passed away in military service?

00:29:35

Right.

00:29:36

Like, it's just, it's fucking bullshit, dude. It's very selfish and it's ignorant and it's bad business.

00:29:41

Yeah. See, I always looked at this stuff as like, you know, for people, cause like it bothers me and I, and I used to have this.

00:29:46

It bothers me too.

00:29:47

I used to have this thing where it's like, you know, cause like, you know, if you ask a veteran, they'll be like, well, I mean, that's what we fought for. We fought for you to have the right to, right. Or like when people burn, well, we fought for that, right. Like for me personally, I cannot fucking stand it. Right. And I see it when it's

00:30:02

entitled fucking child

00:30:03

shit, dude. It's like, I look at it and I'm like, well, you should not be here.

00:30:07

Yeah,

00:30:08

that's how I look at it. Like, I agree. Like, bro, don't let me be president, bro.

00:30:12

Yeah,

00:30:12

because you don't want to stand for our flag or you don't want to fucking stand for our national anthem. Get like, get the fuck out of here.

00:30:17

I agree. That's my personal opinion. And we all have our personal—

00:30:22

That sounds like freedom, DJ. No, you know what I'm saying?

00:30:24

No, it's— there's a fine line there. Yeah, I, on a personal level, I 100% agree. You're not going to stand for the fucking flag. Get the fuck out of our country.

00:30:33

Leave.

00:30:34

That's— I agree with that. And I think a lot of people agree with that. However, when you cross the line into making it a law, now you're talking about some North Korea shit.

00:30:46

Right.

00:30:46

Okay. So it's, it's low class. It's bad business. It's ignorant.

00:30:53

Shows your character.

00:30:54

It shows your character. But I don't think that it's something that we should like legally do.

00:31:00

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, dude, I'm telling you,

00:31:03

I just don't support those people.

00:31:04

Yeah.

00:31:05

Don't buy their shit. Don't buy their jerseys. Don't watch their games. And we'll see how quick they fucking fix it. Now, WNBA has had this problem for years and they don't seem smart enough to fucking fix it.

00:31:15

Yeah.

00:31:15

And then when they get, you know, a gift, a gift,

00:31:19

fucking God

00:31:20

flowing.

00:31:21

Okay. Angel gift.

00:31:22

That's exactly what happened. You were given a gift. With these 2 women who have, I mean, dude, the viewership went down like 60% after they were eliminated.

00:31:34

That's right. That's right.

00:31:35

So you can't argue that people don't enjoy that part of the sport and that that wasn't a gift. And like, dude, I don't know, man. Like whoever's running this thing, we already know. I mean, she's resigning, but I mean, dude, they got, they got, they got a weak commissioner. That's what it comes down to. Right. It's

00:31:54

weak

00:31:54

leadership and weak owners.

00:31:55

Yep.

00:31:55

You know, and, and, and honestly, I think a lot of these people that are in there, they don't know how to run businesses. You know, when you get into running professional sports teams, you— a lot, typically a lot of the owners are legacy family money, right? They're, they're billionaire people who have inherited their wealth, who own the teams. That's most of the fucking owners and across all sports. And so then you get in, you know, this idea where these people didn't actually have to ever work in reality. So they disrespect the working class person and the regular American because they grew up in an elite situation.

00:32:30

If this team fails, I'll just go buy a different one.

00:32:31

Yeah, right, exactly. Well, they don't know how to run a fucking organization because they're— they never ran anything.

00:32:36

Right.

00:32:37

And yeah, you got a lot of money, dude, but that doesn't mean that you could build something, you

00:32:42

know,

00:32:42

like,

00:32:43

or protect it

00:32:43

more importantly. And dude, I just think, you know, it's, Look, man, it is what it is. They're, they're going to keep running this and it's going to fucking go right back like it was.

00:32:54

But what's also interesting too, with what's happening right now is like, you know, because the WNBA has not, to my knowledge—

00:33:02

If you're going to do that shit.

00:33:03

Yeah.

00:33:03

If you're going to do that shit and you want it to continue, the product that you put out better be so good that people have to watch it.

00:33:11

Right.

00:33:11

That's the thing.

00:33:12

Like, that doesn't fit them.

00:33:13

No, that's a product's not good enough for you to make political statements. Other sports, where they have millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of fans, sometimes they can get away with this shit because, dude, people are like, well, fuck it, I'm still gonna watch the game. But people don't want to watch a shitty product and deal with

00:33:31

it and deal with your

00:33:32

politics, right?

00:33:33

That's right. That's right.

00:33:35

So,

00:33:36

well, what's interesting to do with all of these things is that, like, as of right now, as of the show's recording, the WNBA has not commented Uh, or publicly addressed any, any of the, the walkouts from national anthem. Right. But it's always funny to see what people like, how they choose their battles. You know what I'm saying? Like, apparently this is not a battle that they're willing to, to fight and, and deal with.

00:33:58

They're not willing to fight any battle because they're, they're weak.

00:34:00

Oh, there's one they're willing to fight for. Um, Inez Cantor got kicked out of the WNBA Finals by police after ex-NBA star defied controversial courtside ban. Um, which that was total bullshit. Um, the real reason he was kicked out was because of a shirt that he was wearing. They were kicked out. I'm talking about like he goes into the fucking metal detectors and they turn him away like because of the shirt that he's wearing.

00:34:26

He's gonna end up winning a big lawsuit.

00:34:27

A massive one, dude. A massive one. Check this clip, dude.

00:34:31

What did you say? Why not? Go to the other gate. So you'll be escorted to the other gate. Before you come in, you have to agree to go to the street.

00:34:47

Why? I purchased tickets, right?

00:34:49

We understand that.

00:34:50

So just because I want to purchase tickets, I would like to sit on my seat. I don't want— listen, I have the ultimate respect for the police officers here, right? So for that reason, um, I purchased I purchased thousands of dollars of tickets, right? And I would like to sit on my seat. That's all I want. We got to get off State Farm Park. He free to go to the city of Atlanta streets. He free to go to— that's another private establishment over there. He's free to go there, but he just can't be here. Well, I guess you got to escort me. I'm always— it

00:35:20

happens. So the shirt, for those on audio, shirt, what is a woman shirt? Because, you know, we, we— and we've covered a couple of this stuff, right? The You know, he's, uh, became trans and declared himself for the WNBA draft and stuff, right? Him and our good friend Royce White, uh, Roycia, excuse me, sir, ma'am. Um, but, uh, it's controversial and the WNBA, like, this is a fight that they're willing to take. This is a fight that they're willing to, to, to, you know, battle.

00:35:50

Not except, except I'm pretty sure I saw that they quietly notified Congress that they were not going to allow biological men to play in the WNBA just a day or two ago.

00:36:04

That's right.

00:36:05

I'm pretty sure I saw that.

00:36:06

You did.

00:36:06

Okay.

00:36:07

So, right.

00:36:07

So he wins his point, but you're still going to not allow him to purchase a ticket and go to the game.

00:36:14

Right.

00:36:15

Hmm.

00:36:15

Because the shirt with, and like the craziest thing about this shit too, dude, is that they keep, they keep saying that it's for their fans' safety. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can't wear this shirt because of your fans. You're concerned about your fans' safety because it's going to enrile your fans.

00:36:32

Do you think that there's a single WNBA player that wants to play against him?

00:36:36

No.

00:36:36

Okay.

00:36:37

No.

00:36:37

So what the fuck are they arguing for,

00:36:39

dude? But, but what's wild is like, they don't allow this shirt in, but they allow shirts like this and people like that, right? Protect trans, protect trans

00:36:47

kids.

00:36:48

You know,

00:36:49

there is no such thing as trans kids. That's called fucking grooming.

00:36:53

That's right. Called fucking pedophiles.

00:36:56

Yeah.

00:36:57

What that is.

00:36:58

Yeah. It's hard to look at someone that, right, that wears a fucking Protect Trans Kids shirt and not think that they're fucking fucked in the head.

00:37:05

Not only that, but like, I mean, I can't take you serious even without the shirt, bro.

00:37:08

Like, dude, like, like at the height of this shit, you know, 4 or 5 years ago when, you know, people were having, they were, they had, you know, they were having babies and they'd be like, my baby's trans.

00:37:17

That's right.

00:37:17

The fuck you talking about, dude?

00:37:19

That's right.

00:37:19

What are you talking about?

00:37:20

Yeah, that's right.

00:37:22

You, you are fucked in the head and you are going to try to make your kid fucked up because you're fucked.

00:37:26

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I love, I love like seeing like the trans women's, like they're all trans women until they get kicked in the balls.

00:37:33

Well, dude, half of them, that'll

00:37:35

change

00:37:35

you real quick. Half the dudes that do this shit, they're simping to women. They're, they're like, it's like,

00:37:40

yeah. I mean, fuck, that's prime example there.

00:37:42

These are fucking dudes that can't get any fucking pussy on their own. And they fucking, they want to, they want to like, that's their way of like, you know, getting in with the girls, hoping that they will quote unquote get lucky.

00:37:54

That's right.

00:37:54

Like if I agree with everything she says, then maybe I'll get a little piece of poony.

00:37:59

That's right.

00:37:59

You know, like I'll get some

00:38:00

of that trans

00:38:01

pussy. Yeah, dude. Dude. You know, it's just, it's just weak shit,

00:38:09

bro. Look at this guy.

00:38:10

I know he looks fucking super. Doesn't he look super fucking happy?

00:38:13

He's like,

00:38:14

dude, super fucking awesome. Fuck, man. Bro. That guy looks Like his life is terrible. Imagine listening to her yell at him,

00:38:22

bro. That's what you're fighting for, dude.

00:38:25

That's what I'm saying, bro. It's— you don't— it don't have to be this way, guys. Come on, man. I don't have to be this way. Make a little money, lift a little weights,

00:38:33

shoot some T.

00:38:34

Yeah. When they say— when they say you ain't doing shit, say I'm fucking doing that. And you'd be surprised how that fucking works. You know?

00:38:43

Dude, women are tired. She tells him to calm down.

00:38:45

Women are tired. Yeah. Yeah, bro. Women don't like that shit. Women don't like dudes that are actually, that are like super agreeable. They say they do. Yeah. But they don't want that. Well, if they, yeah, they say they want that, but that's not what they fucking want. A lot of people say they want shit they don't want.

00:39:02

That's right.

00:39:02

You know?

00:39:03

That's right. I just want to watch The Notebook.

00:39:04

Yeah. Right. No, they don't.

00:39:06

Let's share.

00:39:06

They want to, they want to, they want to fucking see you doing manly shit. Walk in the house, have a little fucking, You know, do, do have a little grass cut smell on here or whatever. Right.

00:39:15

Change some tires.

00:39:16

Yeah. Get, get, lift a fucking weight.

00:39:19

Right.

00:39:19

You know, stop crying after you have sex.

00:39:26

You're walking in the door after your job, get some grease oil.

00:39:29

Yeah, bro. Whatever you gotta do, man.

00:39:32

Just make it look good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. God, dude, it's not looking good for them, man. They got, they gotta pick the battles. As everybody should, but they gotta pick the right ones, man.

00:39:43

Yeah. Well, they ain't.

00:39:44

And they're not.

00:39:45

That's terrible business too.

00:39:46

Yeah. It's, it's really, really bad business. Um, but yeah, man, guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know down in the comments.

00:39:52

Oh, we ain't gonna talk about LeBron? Well, we ain't gonna talk about LeBron disrespecting the anthem too?

00:39:57

Oh, oh, I did. I did. I did see that. Didn't you see that? I saw that video.

00:40:00

Yeah.

00:40:00

So did I. Did he get into a fight with a fan or something too?

00:40:02

Yeah. He had a, it was his fucking opening game, bro. He, he ain't setting a really good precedent. You think Philadelphia is not an American city? Philadelphia is the American city. Like, and you're in there fucking waving your arms around. I mean, he didn't kneel or anything, but like, bro, show some respect. Yeah. Like stretching out. Like, look, dude,

00:40:24

I got it right here.

00:40:25

Have some respect, bro. You know, like one of the reasons that people don't consider LeBron better than Jordan is because he does this stupid shit. What'd I tell you today? When we were in a locker room about, about LeBron.

00:40:39

I mean, he's a dog on the—

00:40:40

I fucking said, I said, bro, you can say whatever you want about LeBron. I wouldn't want to fucking play him. The guy's a fucking savage. And he's one of the best players in the history of basketball, dude. And I personally, you could tell it frustrates him that, that he doesn't get the fanfare. But bro, the reason you don't get the fanfare is because you do shit like this.

00:40:57

Well, what I told you too, I'm like, dude,

00:41:00

you know how much fanfare LeBron James would have? I hope he hears this too, bro. Do you know how much fanfare and respect LeBron James would have if he was like a, like just stood for like unity and like America and like you'd be the biggest legend in the history of sports. But instead, you know, when Black Lives Matter was going on, you threw on your Malcolm X glasses and read the first page of every fucking, you know, Black Panthers book. That's right. And like, you're divisive, dude. And people don't like that shit. And like, dude, he doesn't, he doesn't get the respect that he deserves as a player because of how he conducts himself. in regards to things like this.

00:41:33

Dude, and what I told you, I'm like—

00:41:35

'Cause dude, I would not wanna fuck with him like on a basketball court, bro. The guy's fucking 6'8.

00:41:39

He's a great player.

00:41:39

280, fucking yoked.

00:41:41

He's a great player.

00:41:42

Yeah.

00:41:43

But like, you know, and you know this too, just like— Dude. From being athletes, bro, it's like off the court matters just as much as on the court.

00:41:49

Well, when you're one of the biggest celebrities in the world, it certainly matters.

00:41:52

You know what I'm saying? But like what I told you, bro, I'm like, when I see LeBron, nothing feels authentic.

00:41:57

Well, how do you—

00:41:58

I don't think he truly believes in all of that shit either.

00:42:00

I don't think he does either. How could you? Yeah. How could you? You went to a fucking Catholic high school. You were a superstar when you were in 6th grade. People were talking about how you're going to be the greatest player ever, bro. You want to talk about a privilege growing up? Fuck, dude. Come on, man. Look what this country has provided you.

00:42:18

Well, isn't that funny too? Because I feel like that's a common thing.

00:42:20

It is. The people who have the fucking easiest shit going— I'm not saying he didn't work his ass off, but the people who are blessed the most typically have the least gratitude for how they got there.

00:42:32

And, you know, it's one of the biggest victims. And I know, dude, for all—

00:42:35

and then, and then the— so then you look at the regular dude, right? Like you go down to the gas station and you see the regular dude buying his lunch with fucking quarters and shit. And you're— this guy's worth a couple billion dollars, right? And he's fucking acting like this, bro. That is, that is why you will never be considered the greatest. It's not because of your play. It's because of this.

00:42:56

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like if you got him in the room,

00:43:00

You know what Jordan said? What? Republicans buy fucking Nike too.

00:43:05

Oh, really? Yeah.

00:43:06

Yeah.

00:43:06

I, oh, I do remember that. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like if you were to get LeBron in the room and it was just you and him and you'd be like, dude, what's up with all this? He,

00:43:19

I feel like if you got him, if you really got him in a room and you got him to like fucking open up, I think he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

00:43:25

You think so?

00:43:26

Yeah. I think, I think there's so much fame and so much pressure and so much fucking shit on him. I think he probably thinks he's doing the right thing or making a statement, but he doesn't really understand from the outside in. When you've been a superstar your whole life, how the fuck do you understand the other side?

00:43:42

Yeah.

00:43:44

Right, exactly. Like his perspective is a different perspective than everybody else. And it really, what it comes down to is he's failing to look at everything from everybody else's perspective.

00:43:54

Yeah. That's the one thing too, I cannot stand is like people who have never really experienced struggle. talk about how bad the struggle is. You know what I'm saying? But then the people who—

00:44:05

They don't know everything's a struggle to everybody. Right. That's the thing. Life is a struggle for most people, even if they're great at something. But just because you're great at something and it was hard to do doesn't mean that this other guy is not struggling with other shit. And so the struggle is, is, is perspective. And then people try to rank the how hard it is, right? Like it doesn't matter. We're not in a lottery. There's no prize for being the biggest victim. There's no prize for having the hardest upbringing. That's, that's loser shit that people get in competition about. I'm going to compete with you about how hard my shit was. It doesn't matter, dude. It's hard for everybody in different ways.

00:44:46

So, you know, the opposite of that, it's like the people who really like have this, they don't talk about it. They don't, they're not out there saying, oh, the fucking struggle, the system fucked me and all like, bro, they're just fucking trying to live.

00:44:54

I know.

00:44:55

You know what I'm saying?

00:44:56

Like, I know.

00:44:57

I think personally the harder people fight for shit like that, that just like the harder they fight for stuff like that just tells me the easier, easier life.

00:45:05

Yeah. And then later in the game he got in an argument with the fan.

00:45:08

Yeah.

00:45:08

Because the fan said something about him being from the West Coast and he's like, I'm not from the fucking West Coast. I don't know who the fuck you think you're talking to. And it was just like shocking. It's like, bro, you've been heckled your whole life. What do you, why would you give that person any attention, dude? You know what I'm saying? And if they're heckling you there really hard, it's probably because you did that. So anyway, oh, did you see the, the president demanded an apology from LeBron James?

00:45:37

Did he?

00:45:37

On his— come on, dude. Yeah, here we go. President Trump just demanded an immediate apology from LeBron James to service members for their families for disrespecting the national anthem before the game. I said right from the beginning of, of right from the beginning of that, he's, he's no good. A total disgrace. LeBron James should apologize to all the great American warriors and heroes that died for the American flag and our country stands for. I mean, dude, I think he's, I think he's right.

00:46:05

Yeah.

00:46:06

You know, like, dude, I don't know, man.

00:46:09

Look at the last line.

00:46:10

He's made over a billion dollars in this country and can't spare 2 minutes for the flag.

00:46:14

No,

00:46:14

that's fucking

00:46:15

on.

00:46:18

You're so oppressed, bro.

00:46:19

Yeah. And then get out of there and tweet, why do people hate me?

00:46:22

Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. Like, if you can't understand what— Yeah.

00:46:26

Yeah, man. There's

00:46:29

going to be a documentary that comes out after his playing career where he's going to explain himself. And you fucking remember I said this and he's going to be crying. He's going to be like, nobody ever liked me when I was playing. After I played, nobody really— it's because you're an asshole. It's because you're— you might be the nicest guy in real life. You're an asshole in public.

00:46:49

Yeah. This persona you're portraying.

00:46:52

Asshole persona.

00:46:53

It's, it's inauthentic.

00:46:54

Yeah.

00:46:54

It's not you, bro. Just be you,

00:46:56

bro. If he came out—

00:46:56

So what? You got a bad hairline. You know what I'm saying? Like, come on.

00:46:59

I mean, dude, what are you talking about? LeBron's like the— like, dude, even if LeBron wasn't hated, he's a good looking dude. He's a fucking stud. He'd be the marketing motherfucker of the planet. But like, dude, he's, he's not, he's— dude, look, I grew up and watched both Jordan and LeBron and you cannot fucking compare the two. You just can't. You can't. Jordan was an American fucking hero in people's minds. LeBron is like the antithesis of that.

00:47:26

Right. Right.

00:47:27

And, and, you know, it's sad because I'm sure he wanted to be that, but you've made all the wrong— you got to read the room.

00:47:33

Yeah. Yeah.

00:47:35

And by the way, if you really, if you really believe the shit that you act like you're standing for, Then be vocal in an intelligent way of what the point is of you doing that.

00:47:44

Right.

00:47:44

Explain yourself a little bit, which he doesn't do.

00:47:48

Can't do.

00:47:48

Right. That's why.

00:47:50

Can't do it. Can't do it, man. Yeah. Guys, let us know down in the comments what you guys think about that. Um, other stuff happening. So we, you know, we've, we've been covering the France shit, the riots and stuff happening over there. Right. And I think a couple of episodes ago we made a, um, we kind of alluded to that we need to be prepared and understand that stuff might be coming. Coming here, right? And you gotta pay attention to the, to the things, the chess pieces that are being moved around right now in preparation of that, right? Um, and I saw this, it came out, and I'm like, dude, this is fucking crazy. Uh, this, this headline reads, um, as France burns, New York City Council moves to bar NYPD's strategic response group from protests. Right. So they, they, they have in New York, they have a bill that is gaining support that would prevent New York City's, uh, specialized units from responding to protests. Right. The, the argument is that these officers should not be used to police peaceful demonstrations. Right. Like that's the, that's the, the main concept behind it. Right. But my, my question is, at what point does protecting someone's right to protest start conflicting with the government's responsibility to protect everybody else or businesses or fucking, you know what I'm saying?

00:49:12

Like, when does that, where does that stop?

00:49:15

Well, I think it stops at the line of when it becomes destructive to public property and private property.

00:49:19

Yeah. But the problem is, dude, and like, I mean, we've all seen it, these protests, they all start peaceful. They all start peaceful, but then shit gets crazy real quick. You can't, you can't try to like, you can't be behind the ball.

00:49:30

Why do you think this is happening? Who, who put this law through? Uh, I have a theory that I'll get to here in a second, but who put this through?

00:49:37

Yeah. So, so it's getting, it's getting all of its support right now. Like I said, it hasn't been officially passed, but they have all the support to pass it. They're finishing the language on it. Um, in New York City, um, it's kind of where, where it's going right now, but this appears to be coming from the, the Mondawmin administration, the, you know, Let's not support police. Let's not do all of that. I see this as they are preparing to where when those migrant riots come, that law enforcement emergency responders are going to be behind the wall, and there's not going to be anything we can really do to stop it.

00:50:11

It's bigger than that. I don't know if you guys saw what's going around like on Twitter and shit, but there's a theory going around that the idea is. that they're planning on protesting to a point after mid— during midterms here in 20 days, 19 days or whatever, that they're planning to do a protest nationwide, um, to the point where they force Trump to basically declare martial law and regain control and then paint him as an authoritarian. to remove him from office. It was this account, Data Republican.

00:50:55

Okay.

00:50:56

On, on Twitter. But basically the idea is there's an organized color revolution that they're, they're planning on like launching. And what's going on in Europe right now is like the beginning phases of that. And they're trying to spread those protests, which they are spreading.

00:51:12

Yeah.

00:51:13

And they're trying to make it so that like by the time midterms happen, this is a global thing. That has to be declared martial law to clean up here in the United States and then, and then get him out of office based upon his response to that.

00:51:27

Fuck. Almost like they did with J6, how they tried to do.

00:51:30

Yeah, basically.

00:51:31

Yeah.

00:51:32

But with, you know, this is all the leftist.

00:51:36

Yeah.

00:51:37

Right. So like if Trump cracks down, runs in martial law, which by the way, you know, that should have happened a long time ago. We're going to end up with a situation where, you know, they're like, oh, he's an authoritarian. And, but, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't, I don't know. I mean, they're going to try it as much as possible, but like, and, and the way that Trump is, has been pussyfooting around with, with his enemies, like literal enemies and enemies of this country, say whatever you want about Donald Trump, but when you got communists in this country winning electoral office and you have people that are openly talking about reshaping the Constitution and reshaping America and changing everything. That's a fucking revolution. That's a coup. And the country has a responsibility to squash that and protect the republic. And so do I think it'll work? I don't know. Do I think they're going to try it?

00:52:33

Yeah.

00:52:33

I mean, we'll see.

00:52:35

If it's anything like those No King protests, it ain't shit going to pop off from that. Because those are just a bunch of old boomer grandparents. Yeah.

00:52:42

Fucking, you know, I think, I think they've missed their opportunity for, you know, if they were really going to do something like this, we're 3 or 4 years behind where it would have maybe worked.

00:52:52

Well, here's the thing.

00:52:52

I think the culture has moved past a lot of this fake bullshit and they're realizing that most of it's fake.

00:52:59

Well, but here, what are they really good at though, Andy? They're really good at optics.

00:53:03

Yeah.

00:53:04

You know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't take much. to make the optics look really, really fucking bad. You know what I'm saying? Like whether it be one person that drives into an ICE agent that gets shot.

00:53:13

Well, and allegedly according to this plan, the, the optics started a long time ago, right? Where with No Kings protests, like, dude, this isn't a king. A lot of the things that are happening, you have to understand they're happening for the history books.

00:53:29

Right. Okay. For us watching.

00:53:31

Yes. Like when they go out and do a candlelight vigil for J6 and talk about it, like it's Pearl Harbor and talk about it like it's 9/11, people are like, what the fuck are they talking about?

00:53:42

Right?

00:53:42

But 30 years down the road, when you look back, they're going to have that clip to show that that's the history. And so what we need to understand is that they're playing a game that is much longer than what we are understanding is happening in the moment. And, um, when we think about like what they're going to teach in history. And then you see them saying no kings and he's Hitler. And you got Kamala Harris calling everybody Nazis the fucking night before the election. We— and then think about, okay, well, what history are they trying to create? That's the way to think about it. Like, what are they trying to cultivate now to be the story for your children?

00:54:24

Yeah. These people are moves down the chessboard. Correct. Fuck, dude. Well, I mean, this, this move right here in New York City is definitely a pretense to it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's definitely a fucking pretense. They're setting the stage up for it.

00:54:36

It's fucking ridiculous.

00:54:38

You know, and like I said, I mean, the, the dangerous piece here is that like, because again, like we're not new to fucking protests. We've seen these things. We've seen these things for the last 15 years. And like, again, like protesting, that, that is a fundamental right that we have under our Constitution. I think you should protest. Everybody should protest. Protest what you don't like. You should. Not if you're paid to do it. That's different.

00:54:57

Yeah.

00:54:58

Right. Um, but it's a real thing. And I—

00:55:01

Paid protesting should be like automatic 15 years in jail.

00:55:04

At least.

00:55:04

Yeah.

00:55:05

At least.

00:55:05

'Cause it's agitating.

00:55:06

At least.

00:55:06

Yeah.

00:55:07

At least. Right. And I'm sure they don't have workman's comp set up for when they get their asses beat. You know what I'm saying? But like, we've seen these protests go crazy. And like the, the biggest issue with this obviously is that like, if you're putting the police behind the ball where they can't respond. They can't even, like, they— part of the bill that says that they can't even do, uh, kettling, which is like, you know, where they take their bikes and put their bikes together and block roads and stuff. Like, none of that. Can't do any of that.

00:55:34

And who— and, and what— let me ask you this. What citizens of New York City asked for this?

00:55:38

Right, right. I, I would, I would argue none.

00:55:43

Yeah.

00:55:44

None.

00:55:44

Right.

00:55:44

What, what business owners said that they didn't want this happening?

00:55:47

Zero.

00:55:47

You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like none,

00:55:49

right?

00:55:49

Nobody's fucking asking for this,

00:55:51

which is not a single fucking person in New York City that filed a fucking tax return that is for that.

00:56:00

And, and dude, like, you know, you take away even, let's take away the big, you know, I don't conspiracy theory, what do you want to call it? Right. You take that away, but like even the bare minimum of it, nobody's asking for any of these things. Nobody's asking for the fucking state-run grocery stores, right? Like, no, nobody's asking for any of these.

00:56:20

Well, not people that are actually contributing to society.

00:56:22

I don't even think the people that really like could use it.

00:56:25

Well, I don't know. Like, you, you know, every time Adami comes up on the show and you read the comments, you got a lot of people from New York being like, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. So there's people up there that are with it, but yeah, I— they're not— I'm sure those same people are not saying, hey, let's, let's just like Um, burn the fucking businesses down unless, you know, unless they don't contribute.

00:56:47

Yeah. I mean, but, but here's the thing. It's like, you know, and I've always said this too. It's like, you know, bro, criminals, criminals, they're stupid to a degree, but they're not completely stupid. No. You don't think they're paying attention to shit like this? You don't think they're watching the green lights that are given?

00:57:02

You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not paying attention. It's organized. They know that,

00:57:06

right?

00:57:07

They're being communicated to. It's not like, oh, let's just—

00:57:10

well, that's why my point is criminals are going to figure it out. Yeah. Like, that's not what's happening.

00:57:13

happening, dude.

00:57:14

Right. Yeah, you know.

00:57:16

Yeah, it's a stand-down order.

00:57:18

Right, right. And it's fucking insane, man. It's insane. Um, and like, even just the recovering— the, the covering of all of these things, you know what I'm saying? Like, um, it was mostly peaceful, you know what I'm saying? Like, this is what they're going for.

00:57:30

This problem. So I, I want to be clear in how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not, uh, it is not generally Generally speaking, unruly, but fires have been started and, and there's a crowd that is relishing that. It's

00:57:46

mostly peaceful. Yeah, dude, it's mostly people like— you gotta remind people, bro, this is what's coming, New York.

00:57:51

Yeah.

00:57:51

You know, I remember— you remember this clip, dude?

00:57:53

Well, and then the thing is too, the media is in on this whole plan, allegedly.

00:57:57

Yeah.

00:57:57

To show what they need to show. So on this, you know, authoritarian coup thing, they

00:58:04

already got the scripts ready,

00:58:05

right?

00:58:06

Yeah.

00:58:07

What's this?

00:58:08

This is probably one of my favorite clips from a protest. So this was during George Floyd, um, and the mob was like walking down the street and these, uh, brunchers watching safely from their little apartment. Watch this.

00:58:32

We're on your side. We're on your side. Holy shit. We're on your side. We're on your side. No, you're not.

00:58:44

You're not on their side. You only think that you are.

00:58:47

That's right.

00:58:47

That's why all you dumb motherfuckers that fucking simp to this shit, you don't understand. You're not part of their fucking team. They fucking hate you. You're a useful dumb motherfucker to them.

00:58:58

Mm-hmm. That's gonna be—

00:59:01

All that is is people being like, I want to be a part of the cool thing that's going on.

00:59:05

You guys didn't see my BLM flag?

00:59:06

Yeah, right. Banner

00:59:07

in my

00:59:07

yard before you burnt my business down. Right. They don't care, dude.

00:59:11

Dude, fuck, man. It's gonna be crazy, man.

00:59:14

I, you know, I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I know that there are— with that theory that I was just mentioning, there are recordings, there are emails, there are evidences that support it up that that's going to happen. So, and it wasn't just like somebody saying, hey, this is my theory. They had a bunch of fucking evidence to show it.

00:59:33

Yeah. Supporting shit to go with it. I might look into that, dude. That's, that's absolutely crazy. Guys, tell us what you think down in the comments, man. You know, the other piece, the other thing is like, I mean, again, I try to give credit where credit's due. We are seeing some, some crackdowns. Some, a few, right? Um, some more notorious than others, some more public than others. Some arrests are happening now. It's not the names we want, right? Um, but it's definitely some shit people. Uh, this one, uh, I saw this earlier, this rapper who literally set fire to money, he just got busted. Um, so this, this fraud task force that's been running around Um, they uncovered $42 million in food stamp theft. Um, and so this one guy who's one of these fucking guru influencers, you know what I'm saying, he just got popped. Um, he's an Atlanta rapper, uh, with a penchant for peeing naked from balconies. Um, he was busted on dozens of fraud charges as part of Trump's administration's fraud crackdown to recover nearly $42 million in food stamp funds meant for needy families. Um, this is the gentleman here.

01:00:46

Let's, let's just see a little bit of the lifestyle, shall we?

01:00:50

Right here next to my private jet, you broke motherfuckers. Get you a jet. We know you got money, but you don't like to help us. Today I'm gonna tell you 3 ways to get the bank to pay you.

01:01:18

Yeah, yeah, you're going to jail, dog.

01:01:20

Well, they always end up going. Yeah, right. Like, they all— all these dudes end up going to jail or end up in exile or whatever, dude, you know. And I mean, there's never been— I've never been around anybody with real money that fucking behaves like any of these people.

01:01:34

Yeah. I was gonna ask you, like, I didn't know you were in the food stamp game.

01:01:36

Yeah.

01:01:38

No shit. I saw that chain you had, dog.

01:01:41

I saw that chain. Yeah.

01:01:42

You got that chain.

01:01:43

It had a fucking stamp on it.

01:01:46

That's right. But

01:01:46

yeah, apparently it says SNAP.

01:01:48

That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Apparently between January 2020 and July 2026, the 39-year-old rapper allegedly raided State Administration Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Um, funding by creating more than 350 fake accounts based on stolen identities with the Georgia Department of Human Services. And so then he was taking that money and then selling those SNAP benefits. Typically it's about, I think the going rate, I mean, you gotta calculate inflation, it's probably like 75 cents on the dollar right now.

01:02:19

Mm-hmm.

01:02:20

Um, and then using that money to, uh, you know, support his lifestyle. Mm-hmm. Apparently, I think in all total it came out to be like $4.6 million just from this one dude. Mm-hmm. Um, you know, and I think this has always been my argument too. Like, you know, and, and it, it's probably changed a little bit. I think, you know, if you were to ask me 2 years ago, I would say, get rid of SNAP. You know, like just get rid of it. Get rid of all the social dependence on the government. Fucking tie up your bootstraps and get with it. Right. But I, but I do understand that there are people in our society that need it, like genuinely need it. Mm-hmm. Right. And so what's, what's mind-boggling to me is that because there's more people that are in the system that don't need it and use it and abuse it, right, they are loud enough to be able to say, okay, well, we, we shouldn't have anybody looking into this. We shouldn't have fraud, fraud, waste, and abuse because they're trying to keep their shit going.

01:03:15

Mm-hmm.

01:03:16

Right. Um, and, and one of the things that came out, they, uh, presented this, the DOJ, they said that nearly $42 million uncovered in this fraud so far is equivalent to 220,000 Americans, uh, eating for the entire month of October, which I don't think they're calculating inflation. Cause that's roughly $50 a week per person. Roughly. That's not enough to fucking eat right now. Well, yeah. Like, unless it's all ramen noodles and shit, but, um,

01:03:43

well, you know what, dude, if you gotta, beggars can't be choosers, bro.

01:03:47

Agreed.

01:03:48

You know what I'm saying?

01:03:48

Like, like,

01:03:49

like,

01:03:52

you know, you know, honestly, like, like you want a legit solution.

01:03:54

Dude, SNAP was developed to create a bridge when people fall on hard times. I don't think you're gonna find a single person that is an American that says that they aren't willing to pay some of their tax dollars towards benefiting people who fall on hard times, as long as those people are working to get out of those hard times.

01:04:17

Right.

01:04:18

And when we think about what SNAP should be, it should be a bridge between those hard— a lot of people don't have family. They don't have something to fall back on and that's how they end up homeless. Okay. They fall on a hard time. Shit gets really bad. They have nothing else to get and they, they get stuck. Right. That happens.

01:04:34

Yeah.

01:04:35

But our system has become so fraudulent.

01:04:40

So lucrative.

01:04:41

And well, and honestly, the amount of SNAP that people are allowed to have produces a better lifestyle than many people who work. And do things the right way.

01:04:53

Yep. It's incentivized.

01:04:56

Correct.

01:04:56

You know, the more kids you have, the more you're gonna get.

01:04:58

Yeah. And then what does that create? That creates people having kids for the SNAP and they don't take care of the kids. So it creates all kinds of problems. Um, you know, but it should be a temporary thing. And

01:05:11

you know what my real solution for this is? Like, it's like, we like, let's say we did take SNAP out and you're falling on hard times. You need food assistance. We'll send you a case of MREs once a month. It's good enough for our soldiers to eat that are fighting, you know, to defend the country. Just send you some MREs, dog. We'll send you a couple of pallets. You'll get a drop.

01:05:30

Well, yeah, dude.

01:05:31

MRE for people who don't know,

01:05:32

meals ready to eat. Yeah. It's more like our military and shit eat.

01:05:36

So, but you gotta, you, you have to like ask the question, right? If you are living a more comfortable life on SNAP benefits than you could live as working, then what incentive do you have to get off of SNAP? And that's the problem.

01:05:55

Zero.

01:05:56

Okay. When you can go to the store and you can buy all the shit, and then you can go and buy Nikes and fucking everything with SNAP benefits, you— and you're living a better life than if you went and got a job, there's no incentive to get a job. Okay. And this is only going to get worse with AI.

01:06:10

Yep.

01:06:11

So, uh, and then those same people These same people, it's all by design because these same people are intentionally incentivized to keep— to stay dependent on the government so that they will vote for the free shit, which is the socialist communist agenda. So it's about training people to vote and be dependent to get their free shit.

01:06:36

Mm-hmm.

01:06:37

And this is why when we talk about like what's going to fix America, personal excellence Is what's— standards are what's going to fix America. Okay. You shouldn't be dependent on the government. It's not what it's fucking for.

01:06:48

No.

01:06:49

And it should be shunned. Like, I'm sorry. You know, I know people have hard times, but like, if you're one of these people who lives on that shit, you, you should be shunned.

01:06:58

Yeah.

01:06:58

It's fucking disrespectful to every single other person. And these people see it as entitlement. They get onto TikTok and they get on Instagram and they show all the groceries and they're like, you're paying for this bitch.

01:07:09

And it's crab legs and snacks and bullshit. Yeah, right.

01:07:11

Like, dude, and then you got, you got people out here who are doing the right thing that what they were told their whole lives to do, who then fucking hate you.

01:07:18

Yep.

01:07:19

So,

01:07:19

you know, isn't that most of our shit though? Like most of the things that we have in society, most of our systems, like none of them are really designed to do any of that. Like, I mean, you even look at the prison system, or prison's cush for most people. You get 3 square meals a day. Like, like make that shit like fucking Siberia, dog. Like it should not be something you should—

01:07:38

No, there has to be an incentive for you to get out of that situation.

01:07:41

And I think you have to attack that through pride. You know what I'm saying? Like you have to be able to attack, like it sounds fucked up, but if, if it does not make them question or, or, cause I mean, it's all ego. Everybody cares about their ego. Right. And like, if they don't lose any sense of pride or self-fucking worth, like they have no reason to come off of it. They don't care.

01:08:02

Well, for that to work, you would have to care about shame. And clearly these people don't care.

01:08:06

They're

01:08:06

not ashamed of fucking anything.

01:08:07

That's true. So yeah, but I mean, it's good. Like I

01:08:11

said, there needs to be real rules around it. Real fucking rules.

01:08:15

Quantitative.

01:08:16

And if you fucking scam it, you should go to prison and prison should suck for you.

01:08:20

Yeah. Yeah.

01:08:21

You know?

01:08:22

Yeah. Well, I mean, like I said, the, the, the point of this is we're starting to see some accountability happening. Like Uh, go and go and go to, uh, Virginia. There's a state senator who just got indicted. Apparently she was leading a marijuana distribution enterprise. Now I will say this, okay? I will say this. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, is it that bad? I mean, I don't know. I, I mean, you got— when you got fucking state senators and shit that are, you know, taking foreign dollars and shit like that. And, you know, their interest is going overseas.

01:09:00

Yeah. It's selective. It's, it's selective. Uh, you know, it's selective enforcement, right?

01:09:06

Dude, you know what I'm saying? What's a little, it's a little weed, man. My grandma's just selling a little, you know, selling some green, dog. Is it, is it that bad? I don't know. Let's dive into it. You got Virginia State Senator Lily Louise Lucas was indicted Thursday on 5 charges. That include drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud, and firearms charges after being accused of running a marijuana distribution enterprise, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Let's check this clip.

01:09:31

Senator Lucas has been charged and indicted with 5 counts: racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and maintaining a drug-involved premises. The other counts listed in the indictment that she's not charged in include possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and wire fraud. All 7 defendants are charged for their various roles they allegedly played in the Lucas enterprise. The indictment alleges that Senator Lucas approved and directed criminal activities and other activities To benefit the affairs of the Lucas enterprise, that she arranged for the acquisition and distribution of marijuana, that she supervised the laundering of marijuana proceeds, and that she used her political influence to demand and accept a bribe and attempted to influence Virginia legislation for the benefit of herself and her family.

01:10:36

Is she related to Frank Lucas?

01:10:37

Who's that?

01:10:38

Frank Lucas, bro.

01:10:40

American Gangster.

01:10:41

I don't know.

01:10:43

I mean, fuck it. It would track. It would track. Now she's made a statement.

01:10:48

Hold on. Hold on.

01:10:51

Mm-hmm.

01:10:52

Does she talk? Does she defend herself?

01:10:54

Oh yeah.

01:10:55

Does she say that it's racist?

01:10:57

Oh yeah. All right. Should I— you want me to read it like an old grandma?

01:11:03

I'm just saying I— that you knew where it was going.

01:11:05

Yeah.

01:11:06

It's fucking racism.

01:11:07

I wanna read it like an old black granny, if that's okay.

01:11:09

Okay.

01:11:10

All right. All right. Lord, honey, today the FBI and the Department of Justice and the full weight of the federal government have been wielded against an 82-year-old great-grandmother. Now I grew up under Jim Crow, honey. I've seen what happened when people in power try to silence those that stand up to them. I spent my life fighting back and I'm not stopping now. I'm not new to this. I'm true to this, baby. I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down from our criminal weed enterprise.

01:11:42

Yeah.

01:11:42

Last part I added. Yeah. But what's funny, dude, is you post that, but you know, you scroll back a couple of years down the feed and she posted this.

01:11:52

Yeah. Donald Trump just learned no one is above the law.

01:11:56

Oh, come on, honey.

01:11:57

Sounds like you're learning that. Learning, learning, learning.

01:12:01

But okay, let's talk about weed for a minute though, right? Like, I mean, I do feel like it is definitely over-fucking-criminalized. Like, if we're just being honest, again, when you got— I'm not trying to defend— listen, get her ass, lock her up. Agreed. But we also got people that are fucking taking bribes and money and, and, and making laws in the interests of other countries. Why are they not

01:12:21

broke? The law is the law,

01:12:23

right?

01:12:25

Okay. If the law is to mean anything, then it has to be equally applied across every spectrum.

01:12:29

That's right. That's right.

01:12:31

So The minute you start selectively enforcing the law, the minute the laws mean nothing. And laws have been selectively enforced here for a very long time.

01:12:40

Case in point, immigration.

01:12:42

Well, yeah, immigration. I mean, like, dude, you know, when they, uh, when they literally in California changed the fucking law to where you can steal anything up to $1,000, right? Are you fucking serious, dude?

01:12:55

That's right.

01:12:56

And, you know, It's just, you know, it's, it's bullshit.

01:13:04

Yeah. Yeah.

01:13:04

So yeah, it's nice that people are finding out, but a whole bunch of other people need to find the fuck out.

01:13:08

It's a lot more than— yeah, to find out.

01:13:10

Yeah. And we're not talking about local influencer dude, you know, that's not your win.

01:13:14

Yeah.

01:13:15

Your win is the people that allow this.

01:13:17

That's right. That's right. People who have actually killed people.

01:13:20

Yeah.

01:13:21

Who's cost, you know, I don't know, what was it? What's the number, Andy? It's like fucking sick. How many businesses? What was the percentage? Like 60% of businesses closed during COVID Where's, where's that fucking account?

01:13:30

I don't think it was that much, but it was, it was

01:13:33

not permanently

01:13:33

closed. Shut down. Yeah.

01:13:35

You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, it was a fucking lot.

01:13:37

Yeah. Look at this fucking idiot.

01:13:39

I do like the Rolls-Royce though. That

01:13:41

is, that is, yeah. It's cool if you earn it.

01:13:43

What do you do?

01:13:44

It's cool. It's cool if you, if you built something and earned it.

01:13:47

Yeah. That's cool. Now it's gone. Now it's gone. You know, like I said, we're seeing more of this. I saw too, Trump, uh, I don't know if you saw this. He did the, uh, He just announced a new fund for, you know, people that bring tips and stuff. I saw that. You saw that? Like, but that's specifically

01:14:02

for 1%, 1% of the fraud,

01:14:04

bro. I mean, that's like, bro, you get a fucking $400 billion fraud scheme going, you're a billionaire now.

01:14:10

Yeah.

01:14:10

You know what I'm saying? Like, that's a fucking— all right. You know what I'm saying? That— why don't we have a fund going against the fucking criminals that we were just talking about though, that are still seated in our Congress? Where's the fund for those?

01:14:21

Well, I think, I think it applies to that.

01:14:23

From what I saw, it was just in the, the, the fraud piece. I didn't think it was—

01:14:27

No, I think, I think the whole point is to expose government fraud.

01:14:30

Okay.

01:14:31

Yeah. And to encourage whistleblowers to come up and be rewarded.

01:14:34

Okay. All

01:14:35

right. Now I'm betting—

01:14:36

I said, cause I got the whole list of the whole government.

01:14:39

Yeah. But I'm betting, I'm betting that they, this is what they will do. There will be one or two cases and then it will go away. Because they don't really want to stop the fraud.

01:14:51

No,

01:14:52

they want to pretend they're stopping the fraud.

01:14:55

Or until it's one of their friends that get caught up, then it's like, oh.

01:14:57

Well, I mean, dude, that's why Trump won't put out the fucking Epstein shit.

01:15:00

Yeah.

01:15:01

He fucking straight up said it. You know, these people are all on the same team, dude. So.

01:15:08

Well, we shall see, man.

01:15:09

Yep.

01:15:10

We shall see. Um, guys, let us know. Down in the comments. Uh, we have arrived. It is that time of the show where we, uh, we bring one final little topic in and talk about it. Um, and give it 2 options.

01:15:23

You know, when Trump was talking about the Epstein shit, he kept saying, I don't want to release it because some, some, some innocent people are going to get hurt.

01:15:34

Yeah. Good people.

01:15:35

Good. My friends will get hurt. Our friends will get hurt. And I was thinking about that and I've been thinking about that over and over and over again. And like, dude, I don't think he's referring to like, his actual— I think he's referring to Israel.

01:15:47

Hmm.

01:15:49

I think that's what he's referring to. I think he knows that if those files come out, Israel will cease to exist.

01:15:56

It directly implicates the government.

01:15:58

Yes.

01:15:59

Yeah.

01:15:59

Mossad. That's, that's my take on it.

01:16:02

Yeah. I mean, dude, it makes sense.

01:16:04

And he's being threatened to not do it.

01:16:06

Yeah. That makes sense. I mean, they refer to the government of Israel as our good friends.

01:16:12

That's right.

01:16:12

All the time. Yeah. Hmm.

01:16:16

Because like, dude, you think about Trump and you're like, bro, he doesn't have any problem putting anybody under the bus.

01:16:21

No,

01:16:21

never has.

01:16:22

Especially if it fucks him up.

01:16:23

Right.

01:16:24

Or it makes him look bad.

01:16:25

Right.

01:16:25

Or tarnishes him.

01:16:26

But if you have a relationship with a certain country that has, you know, funded your entire life, uh, you know, meaning like the banks and the investment deals and all this shit. And these people are mixed up with, with, you know, Israel's upper elite class. and they all get tied into it, you know, not only does that fuck his personal relationships up, but it fucks up the perception of Israel for the globe. Yeah, right. In other countries, dude, you got Vladimir Putin straight up coming out being like, bro, these motherfuckers are eating kids.

01:16:57

Really?

01:16:57

Yeah. Fuck yeah. He says it publicly on fucking TV. They're fucking devil worshipers. They fucking— yeah, he says it on TV, dude. In other countries, they know what the fuck's going on.

01:17:07

They already know. Yeah. They have no wool over their eyes, right? Yeah. Speaking of Russia, bro, you saw Ukraine's about to surrender?

01:17:13

No, I didn't.

01:17:13

Yeah. Is that true?

01:17:15

They're going to have to.

01:17:16

Zelensky said it out of their mouth and he's been so like, so much so he's willing to give up 25% of Ukraine.

01:17:21

Well,

01:17:22

going back

01:17:22

now, see, this is what we were talking about on Tuesday. He's got to figure out how to save his fucking ass because he will end up dead.

01:17:28

Yeah. Yeah. Fuck, dude. It's crazy shit happening right now in the world, man.

01:17:31

I think he'll end up dead either way.

01:17:33

Yeah. Surrender or not.

01:17:35

Yeah.

01:17:35

Yeah. I agree. Um, but yeah, guys, it is that time. We have arrived to our final destination on this tour. Um, it is time for our final segment where we bring in a topic, we give it one of these 2 options. Um, our thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline reads, woman sues popular Texas taco chain for $250,000 after allegedly finding cow tooth in meal. Restaurant confirms.

01:18:00

Confirms the cow tooth or confirms the lawsuit?

01:18:04

Right. Right. That's right. That's right. Look at you, my little entrepreneur over there. Hell yeah. Yeah. Taco 'bout biting off more than you can chew. A Texas woman's lunch took an unexpectedly toothsome turn when she allegedly discovered a cow tooth in her taco, prompting a lawsuit against popular restaurant chain Torchy's Tacos. Uh, over a bizarre ingredient the company has confirmed was the real deal. Uh, the fuck is that? Noemi?

01:18:40

Noemi Castillo.

01:18:42

The fuck? Claims she nearly swallowed the tooth while eating takeout from the chain's South Congress Avenue location in Austin on June 9th, according to the lawsuit independently obtained by Fox News Digital and filed October 13th in Travis County District Court. The order includes the chain's Democrat tacos, according to the complaint, although the cow tooth was certainly not among the advertised ingredients. Torchy's Tacos confirmed the unusual discovery in a statement to Austin TV, uh, saying its own investigation determined that the object was a cow tooth. Upon receiving the guest complaint, we conducted a thorough review and identified the item as a cow tooth, the company said. This can occasionally happen when processing the meat Though it is quite rare. Now here is the image of

01:19:29

the cow tooth. Oh, that is gross.

01:19:32

What?

01:19:32

Okay. Now—

01:19:33

That looks very similar to a human tooth.

01:19:36

That's nasty.

01:19:37

Yeah.

01:19:37

That looks like a molar tooth. A human molar tooth.

01:19:41

I forgot we got a fucking dentist. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. All right. Yeah.

01:19:45

That's nasty,

01:19:46

bro. That's fucking disgusting. Now I will say this. All right. Like, I don't want to fucking bite into a taco. that has fucking a tooth in it.

01:19:53

It's gonna— it's making me sick thinking about it, bro.

01:19:54

Okay.

01:19:55

Nasty.

01:19:55

I agree. Now I will say this though. I did some looking into Torchy's taco menu. This shit is straight gas, dog. I'm not gonna lie. Like, listen, I might be able to spit it out and keep it moving, dog.

01:20:10

It looks all right,

01:20:11

bro.

01:20:11

Yeah.

01:20:12

Look at, look at that fucking shrimp taco, dog.

01:20:14

Yeah, man. Shrimp taco is where it's at,

01:20:16

bro.

01:20:17

I love me some good shrimp tacos,

01:20:19

bro. Their taco— I'm like, listen, I'm sorry, Nahimi, but fuck, dude, these tacos look like gas.

01:20:26

They do. Road trip.

01:20:26

Good. That's what I'm saying.

01:20:27

Like, they look pretty good.

01:20:29

It would have been fucked up if that was in like the— I mean, tongue taco. Yeah, like it had a tooth in there.

01:20:34

I mean, check it out, dude. They're owning it. Yeah. Yeah. They're saying, yeah, we fucked up.

01:20:39

Things happen.

01:20:40

This happens.

01:20:41

You

01:20:41

know, this, this, this. I mean, that's how you handle those situations.

01:20:45

They do have a Republican taco too.

01:20:46

Yeah.

01:20:47

This isn't like a crazy—

01:20:48

What's the difference here?

01:20:49

So you got beef barbacoa, avocado, uh, cojita cheese, cilantro, diced onions. That's in the Democrat, right? Pretty plain, you know.

01:20:59

Contains milk and soy.

01:21:00

That's right. It has avocado in

01:21:03

there.

01:21:03

All right. But the Republican is smoked beef brisket, barbecue sauce, crispy onions, grilled corn relish.

01:21:10

It sounds so much better.

01:21:12

Bro. Yeah. I mean, fuck, come on, man. You know what I'm saying?

01:21:16

I

01:21:16

mean, now the difference is the Republicans have to pay for it. Pay for the Republicans' tacos.

01:21:21

Motherfucker. How long did you think about that joke?

01:21:23

It was fresh off the dome.

01:21:24

No lie.

01:21:25

It was fresh as their fucking corn tortillas.

01:21:27

He planned that out. He'd been thinking about that all day. That's right.

01:21:32

That's right. ChatGPT, what joke can I make?

01:21:34

Oh yeah, that's right.

01:21:36

Yeah. But fuck, dude, they're talking. Listen, they look good, man. They look fucking good, man.

01:21:40

I don't think you can hate on the brand for this, bro. No, they're owning it. Shit happens. Shit happened. They fucking owned it. It is what it is. That's what you're supposed to do. And you fix the problem.

01:21:47

You fix it.

01:21:48

Yeah.

01:21:48

You fix it. I'm down. Yeah. I mean, fuck, dude.

01:21:52

That is gross though.

01:21:53

It's pretty fucking nasty. Yeah. It's pretty fucking nasty. I wonder if you ever had a bad dining experience like that.

01:21:59

Like anything, something like that in my food.

01:22:01

Like, yeah, just bad. Like, I mean, talking like you're ready to flip tables,

01:22:04

bro. You know, I, you know, I don't go out to eat very much. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know. I, if I have, I really don't remember. You

01:22:13

know? Well, and you like consistency too. Like if we do go out to the same place.

01:22:16

Yeah.

01:22:17

Yeah.

01:22:17

Well, the reason, dude, and the reason I like that is because I know I'm going to get a good meal. I like to go to places where I know they're consistently good.

01:22:24

Yeah. Like if you earn my business once, you got a fucking lifelong fan.

01:22:28

Yeah.

01:22:29

Like that's how I am with food, dog. Like, yeah, I will order the same shit every fucking time.

01:22:33

Yeah.

01:22:34

Yeah. 100%.

01:22:35

So like, you know, Um, I'll tell you what, dude, I gotta give the Mexican a plug here, bro.

01:22:42

Oh, bro, I just, I just had it Tuesday night,

01:22:45

bro. So I went into Mexican's, a new, a new restaurant here in St. Louis, and I went in there the first day and it was like,

01:22:52

it

01:22:52

was okay, bro. I went, I went back. Holy shit, dude, it was so good. And I've been back 3 times since. No, I'm just saying.

01:23:01

Yeah,

01:23:01

fucking Dude,

01:23:02

01:23:03

What's your favorite dish over there?

01:23:04

Shrimp tacos.

01:23:05

Shrimp tacos.

01:23:05

Yeah, they're amazing. And then they got these taquitos that are fucking amazing.

01:23:09

Emily was talking about it too.

01:23:10

They're so good, dude.

01:23:11

Dude, they got these fucking bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers now.

01:23:14

They're hot.

01:23:15

They're fucking really hot.

01:23:16

They're hot.

01:23:17

They're gas.

01:23:17

Yeah,

01:23:18

they're gas.

01:23:19

They're like burn your butthole hot.

01:23:20

Oh yeah.

01:23:20

Yeah.

01:23:21

Oh yeah. Oh, but yeah, they come out

01:23:23

hot. You remember you ate them.

01:23:24

Yeah.

01:23:25

What the fuck's wrong with me? Oh, I ate those nuclear poppers.

01:23:28

That's right. The butt plug ain't gonna help you there.

01:23:30

Maybe a 3 for me with that.

01:23:32

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably you're used to

01:23:34

it. No, Mexican is gas.

01:23:36

It, it, for real,

01:23:37

dude, it's gas. It's gas. And there's not going to be any teeth in their food.

01:23:41

No, I'm not, I'm not getting paid. I'm not getting paid to say that, dude. If you haven't gone to the Mexican in Crestwood, fucking go there.

01:23:48

It's, it's, it's delightful. Yeah. Hell yeah.

01:23:51

See, that's a lesson in good service, good product. They didn't have to pay you to say that.

01:23:55

No, I like going there. There you go. Fucking amazing. So I, but I don't think you can knock the brand, this Torchy's for that. They're trying to do it right. Yeah. They're doing it right, bro.

01:24:03

They're doing it right.

01:24:04

And this is going to be a thing. It's going to be a little bump and then it's going to go away. So

01:24:09

Torchy's, I'll be seeing you soon.

01:24:11

Yeah. Maybe we'll stop by next time we're down there in Austin.

01:24:13

Don't put no fucking teeth in my food though.

01:24:15

Give me a couple of them Democrats for free.

01:24:19

I'll take, uh, 2, 2, uh, Antifa tacos, please.

01:24:22

Yeah. Yeah.
