Badlands Media - Quite Frankly Ep. 45: Political Uncertainty, Hidden Networks, and the Search for What’s Really Going On

Episode Date: March 27, 2026

Frankie Val returns with a wide-ranging conversation that moves from lighthearted banter into deeper concerns about political uncertainty, media narratives, and the difficulty of knowing what’s actually true. The episode explores questions surrounding elections, shifting political priorities, and the long-term consequences of decisions being made behind the scenes. Frankie and the crew dig into the idea that many major issues may be reframed or strategically managed, leaving the public reacting without full visibility into what’s driving events. Along the way, the discussion blends humor with skepticism, touching on health conversations, cultural observations, and the importance of staying grounded while navigating an overwhelming information landscape. As always, the show closes with audience interaction, giveaways, and a reminder that even in uncertain times, curiosity and conversation still matter.

That's a hell of a... Welcome. Good day for a welcome. It is 70 degrees and sunny and warm and dry. It is beautiful. Even a little bit hot in the sun. Man, I felt the sun on my face today. It was almost like that scene out of Conair when Nicholas Cage just smiles and he just lets the breeze go through that ridiculous wig of his.

And I got to watch that movie again soon. Last time I watched Conair, I had COVID. That was one of my COVID movies. Jay Gulenello is here and so is Matt. Matt, what's going on? Oh, Francis. Everybody was worried about you. What?

I don't know. I don't know. I said, you know, Matt is doing fine because I showed her by the update, your update picture over here. That was you from work the other day. He sent that in. You look great. Years ago.

That's, yeah. So that was. Did you work in a bowling alley? No. That was just my prize possession. It feels like a fun job. It is. You see,

that's why I always love the pictures that Matt takes when he doesn't have his makeup on. Because it always just reflects a man who is enjoying the simple things in life. Like we have the other pictures of him and getting excited over cupcakes and desserts in the like the senior center. And this is his favorite bowling ball. I'm bowling pin. looking good I like it

Yeah And I especially like the fact That it's in the thumbnail today Did you see the thumbnail for tonight show? I didn't It's you, me and Matt It's Matt with the bowling pin I gotta check it out

Anyway we're all together And beautiful day outside fellas Beautiful day Hey Matt Did you did you ever get COVID Or did you ever get sick During the COVID period Where there was no flu

It was only ever COVID Yeah I think I had COVID I tested positive but I don't know. Well, I test. All thing that did, my bones hurt. That was it. Yeah.

I was smoking weed the whole time. I had a little fever and my bones hurt. That was it. I remember you saying something like I feel like I'm going to die. No, maybe not from that. Maybe when I had parvo. What the hell is that? From like animal shit.

Like not animal shit. Like animal dander and whatnot. Oh, the hell's part. Do you know what parvo is? I've heard of it, but I'm not totally sure. Yeah. I was fucked up for like a month. Maybe more than that.

Dude. Do you remember when you were laid up with whatever, however COVID hit you? What was your, your, did you have any COVID movies? Like, what did you watch when you were in bed? Because I watched, I watched a whole bunch of stuff when I was, uh, in, when I was it, it was April of, it was right before Easter. I emerged from the house for the first time, like a couple of days before Easter. It was almost like my own resurrection.

And. Oh, sorry. no no go ahead i think i was watching like uh 18 whatever that show is no wasn't that i don't know i don't remember i was with cowboys or something i don't oh oh oh i know what you i don't know what you talking about the one with the uh with that big that big firefight at the end you're talking about buster skiske i don't know what the hell that well was anyway i was i watched shawshank redemption I watched Don't Look Up

I watched Oh I remember that Yeah I never saw that I watched Conair I watched I think gone in 60 seconds I watched

I also watched What the hell else There's a whole Oh I watched Prometheus Oh And Do you like that

Prometheus was pretty good I thought so too It was one of those movies That just made me feel weird Yeah It's a weird movie It just made me feel dead inside. That's supposed to be the precursor to aliens.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I thought so. I saw a long time ago, but I remember it being interesting. Yeah, it held my attention. Then again, I was just, I was, uh, I was weak to take from the vid, take the, from the vid from the clovid. I remember I had just bought a pound of weed right before I got it. So I was smoking a lot on the back deck. Well, Matt, he was the first one to say, listen, people who are smoking are not getting it or they're not getting it as bad.

Yeah. And you want to know something, even though I know that the quality of American cigarette, as we all talked about together, the quality of the tobacco and everything else that's in there is ass. Right. And that most of the people who are manufacturing them are New World Order Jacobin, you know, merri-puppeteers. we all know that too. But tobacco and nicotine started becoming a, they started having their own little circle of, hey, there's something to this.

You know, the spike proteins are binding to these nicotine receptors. If we just get nicotine already plugged in there, they have nowhere to. Nicotine gum, nicotine lozenges. Yeah, those are big. And a lot of functional medical docs were recommending. Of course, then getting shut down by the FTC.

Well, in the same respect, that's where people were coming in with with THC and CBD. Perhaps not psychoactive, but people are like, you know, get some kind of cannabis, you get the endocannabinoid system plugged up as well. So there's just nothing to. So, I don't know, a lot of people swore by it. Hey, you know, I smoked throughout the whole thing and I was fine. You remember watching people pull their mask down to smoke their cigarettes. I just was like, wow, what a world we're living in right now. Well, the worst, the stupidest ones, whenever somebody would take, like, I remember Mike, because Mike vapes, and he smokes out of the douche flute, as they call it.

And I remember even he, like, you saw these videos all over the internet. But Mike, Mike sent his videos through the phone where he put on a mask that he had to wear at his garage. He refused to get the shots, whatever. Him and like one other person are the only ones that held out and good for them. But the mask is non-negotiable. No. But so he took a picture of video of himself, you know, inhaled, held it, put the mask on, exhaled.

And you can just trace. You just trace the exhale. And you say, okay, great. This is almost like having like a, you know, a dye tracer in a person's body to see how, if they have any clots or whatever. It's the same exact thing with just breathing. Like if you're exhaling with a mask on, that's what it's not, it's not, it's not going in all different directions too instead of just straight.

No, that it was like a bomb. The mask was a sciop. It was a sciop on the virus. The virus is like, oh, that's a mask. I don't know if I can navigate this. Dude, I remember, I remember in, see, this is the whole thing. At one point, you can say what you want about public schools and private schools today. But even back in the 90s, we got little tidbits of information that really, you know, were great to hold on to.

And they were easy to remember. For example, when it comes to climate change. Oh, CO2 is plant fuel? Plant fuel? that the rainforests of the world were the world, it was the earth's lungs. Absolutely, I remember that. The Amazon, the earth's lungs that, you know, if CO2 is rising, plant some trees.

You know, got us out of the dust bowl, all that stuff, plant millions of trees. And the other thing that I remember was the whole, as far as the dynamics and the size differential of viruses and all that other stuff. And in seventh grade, we were given the diagrams that showed how viruses, especially airborne or whatever the hell kind of, it passes through textile as it would as it would pass through like a chain link fence. I was going to say one of my favorite analogies from back then. I can't remember what doctor first said it, but like trying to stop a mosquito swarm with a chainling fence. It's ridiculous. Well, and you know, Anthony Fauci.

who is obviously just going to be allowed to live out the rest of his filthy life with no no no no problems whatsoever even at first he was you know saying well let's you know the the mask is really not going to do much it will help you from you know droplets spittle yeah you know then he got the memo then he got the memo like you know when a surgeon is hovering over somebody that has their chest clamped open you want to make sure that you're not dropping a booger into their chest. People don't realize that's why surgeons wear masks. It's not to protect them from the patient. It's to protect the patient from them. Right. That's the whole idea about protecting the surgical field. Right.

You know, particles of stuff that you actually can see with the naked eye. Yeah. Yeah. Man, but even just having this conversation would have got us, you know, demonetized and called grandma killers five, you know, five or six years ago. I remember just the most innocent conversations, the most innocent things would get you labeled a grandma killer. It might come back around to that again.

It's so weird. You just don't know how these things just ebb and flow. It might come back around to that again. I know, those people didn't learn, that's for sure. You know what I mean? Like,

it's not like they ever admitted they were wrong. They just wanted it to go away because I think they realized how stupid they were, but they haven't changed. So, you know, you know, uh, you want to talk about changing.

I've just been trying. to see how we've all changed as people over the last 15, 20 years or so. And Matt, you got to maybe, I know that you're not going to probably, you're probably not going to be able to be here for the flip side. But there's been a few nights over the last week that I've just told people, hey, you know, pick a month. If you want, try for a day out of any year between 2010 and 2015. And I'm going to see what kind of a show we were doing that night.

oh man it's incredible and Matt's there for pretty much almost all of them there's very few nights like from 2013 on where there's very few nights that Matt's not there so just like pick a random day and that's what yeah and it's crazy like he would show up he shows up at there's one one night he'll be sitting there with one of those um those polos with the alligator on it picture the eyes odd yeah yeah i don't wear that shit there's evidence hold on i saw the picture wait a second wait a second I don't fucking wear polo shirts. You're talking about cost.

No. I do not wear polo shirts. Koss was there too for a lot of it. I couldn't believe how many, how often Koss was there. Oh, Jesus Christ. Look, that's a La Koss shirt. It's a La Koss. Jesus Christ.

Yeah. What a fucking mess. A me. The hair. Yeah. The best thing is that Matt would show up with a La Koss shirt on one night. And the next night, he would show up with the bandana and literally wrapped around his shoulders the Confederate flag.

So it would be like either one night, you never knew what you were going to get. And it wasn't a costume. It's just like what he was feeling that night. I was doing a lot of cocaine back then. It was it was, these were great shows. We had a lot of fun. And I can't wait to show people like appropriate episodes. So, um, you got to vet them. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I am disgusted with myself. I don't. I am just. No, this is not, this goes beyond, I can't listen to my voice. This goes beyond, it's just like, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we're going to just keep you buried in the past. The internet lives forever. Actually, it doesn't.

Actually, it doesn't. I wiped it. You know, maybe it lives forever now, but there was a time where not too long ago, the internet just, was a different place and you can get away with stuff and it'll just it'll just there's so much of the old internet is gone it's probably pretty good in some cases yeah in some cases yeah but um it's it's it's just nuts anyway uh welcome to the show tonight guys i've got all of your names together

You scan that and you get your full bag of keto brains. So that's a wonderful load. You send into super chat. We're going to be reading them and you'll be in with the other 70 or so people. okay listen to this speaking of cocaine cocaine fueled sharks

are on the prowl in the Caribbean scientists blame partying tourists I don't know how that can be palsy so I don't understand how anybody can drop and how anybody can go out to international waters to have a you know go on a binge or something like that

and drop enough cocaine into the ocean to make the sharks high for a sustained period of time. I go, I don't get that. Hey, let's read. This puts the white in great white. Move over cocaine bear. Brazilian scientists have discovered traces of nose candy, caffeine, and painkillers in sharks swimming in waters around the Bahamas. Oh, it's the Bahamas. These blowfish aren't getting hooked on purpose. It's the fallout from an uptick in marine pollutants per a jocalyptic study. I hate these things. I hate it. It's just an apocalyptic study published in the journal Environmental Pollution.

Pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are increasingly recognized as contaminants of emerging concern in marine environments, particularly in areas undergoing rapid urbanization and tourism-driven development. The researchers wrote while describing the troubling shark-octics trend. They can't stop. The post is terrible at that. sharkotics. I, you know, and I already have a bad time with certain names and places. Then I had to deal with people's stupid slang. So, let me see here. To see whether these marine marauders were under the influence, the team had reportedly analyzed blood samples from 85

specimens around El-Earthra. What is that? Eluthera, Eluthera, one of the Bahamas' most remote islands. These subjects were drug testing for both legal and illegal substances of the samples. A shocking 28 sharks that's out of 85 spanning three species tested positive for drugs, the most

common of which was caffeine. Okay. Maybe there's a coffee plant somewhere. Could be. Shark coffee bar. This was followed by acetaminophen. Oh man. Look at the retarded sharks. Oh no. Oh no. They're going to be getting a

retarded. Tylenol makes people... Autism. Autism. Autistic sharks. At least they won't attack you. That's true. Well, you never know. They could.

Unpredictable. Well, yeah, if they do, then yeah. And dichlofenic. What is dichlofenic? No. Turns you into a dyke. It could be. Watch out.

A finicky dyke. A finicky dyke. Uh, nothing worse than a finicky day. Dich. The active ingredients. Do you highlight it for you can see it? D-I-C-L-E-N-A-C. Oh yeah, it binds to the neurological receptors and shuts down the ovarian

Keep going. Something. I was just waiting. The ovalian postules. The active ingredients in the popular painkillers, Tylenol and Voltairet. Oh, yeah, Voltaireen. It's an insid. I guess I should have just kept reading.

What is that? if they gave him steroids. No, it's a non-steroidal anti-flammatory. I'm going to start doing steroids soon. You and the sharks. Every time I know, every time it comes out. I'm fat. I'm a fat mess.

I need the juice. Man, why don't you just go to my boot camp for 30 days? Let me work on you for 30 days. Let him work on with my job. I don't got time with that show. I can work around anything. It's not,

it's not an actual boot camp. Yeah, no. You're not going to living in a Paris. Speaking of that, yo. But maybe something. The army up to age. The 42. 42 and they'll take potheads too.

Wait, what? The Army recruiting crisis getting so bad that they have expanded the recruit, they were to 42 years old again. Oh, no. I thought we were having a recruiting boom with, uh, with, uh, what's his name? Well, now we're going to war. Ah, soon. Uh, yeah, get, all, all of a sudden, the four week war, which was never going to be that,

is, uh, as long as necessary. And what was never going to be boots on the ground is now, is now, is now not off the table. Let me tell you something. Whatever is going on right now is going to be going on in at least the next two years. It's still going to be going on. I know so. Of course it is.

Of course it is. Anybody who has been conscious for the last 25 years knew that this was not going to be a zip, zip operation where you can make any kind of lasting change through air. Through strafing runs. People are going to be very surprised. So we decide it's time to deal with China. You know, at the beginning of this, the Zell's called in. And I really, I really agreed with them about this being, this having to do with China, right? But no matter what you think of it, this is going to have, especially Matt, if you're right,

this is going to have political ramifications that, you know, we're going to be stuck with. Because even if it's the righteous thing to do, even if it's the absolute correct thing to do and there's information we don't know, it's going to have political ramifications. There's no doubt about it. Well, we'll see, you know what? Like I said, like I said, history gives you patterns that you can follow and you could apply to to make yourself look like a little bit of a fortune teller. But at the same time, sometimes cycle's got to be broken. And I, what? Unless somebody gives me, unless I'm not going to be sitting over here.

I don't have any, I don't have any levers to pull. So who knows? if it goes if it's over by April like we were talking about last week we'll all forget about it we'll all and we'll see what comes next right apparently there's a

there's a plan that Iran has to accept and if they don't get back to them then they're going to they already said no then they're going to to the first one side of hell and then they put out a video of them nuking New York City I saw that video holy shit

just I know, I know, I know, I know Rich Barris is a huge friend of the show and he, and his polling is pretty damn good, man, and he is not happy. I got to get in touch with Rich. I know Rich has become extremely polarizing now. I mean, he's polarizing because he's telling that he's, he's representing the voters. And I completely support that. It doesn't even matter whether you agree with him. It's not his personal opinion.

It's the, it's the polling. Well, he said Iran's going to do it, and he said? No, no, no. No, no, he's, he's, he's just been, he's been, uh, he's been taking a lot of flag. It's not just even just saying, hey, because Rich is not a meek guy. No. You know, so he's so he's not going out there saying, hey guys, red alert. I don't think that this is, I'm like, he is just, he's banging the pots and pans and

he's getting pretty in, you know, he is. Inflammatory about it. He is. So I, I see how it's all just, everything is just like blowing up all over the place. And it's part of the, the, the food fighting that's, going on. But at the same time, I've, you know, I've never, I've never gotten mad at rich for telling me something I don't necessarily want to hear. I want to see what he's, what he's seeing. Yeah, you know, because I, I know what goes into the actual putting together of a poll,

and I know that he's not getting emotional with the questions. No, I think it's because he's seeing this represented in the data. And it's bothering him because he doesn't, that's not what he voted for. And that's not what the people that are answering the polls or telling him they voted for and he's trying to get across. And I think one of the biggest frustrations is that he has direct contact with the White House and he has been in contact with them and they're not listening to him. So I can imagine that being incredibly frustrating. Well, I haven't spoken to Rich since I don't know.

I don't know if he's been on the show this year. So maybe we can talk sometime soon. Somebody in the chat room, Cindy Boland says, Funny Frank, I totally fell for the clickbait with old. Matt. You know what that means? You know what that means? What? On the, on the, on the, the thumbnails are working.

The thumbnail. I'm going to have to start, I'm going to have to start doing some shit with the thumbnails. Absolutely. But it can't go too crazy because that's going to appeal to people who, who are already on the inside of the show. And they get, they get the culture. But if I, that'll be interesting. Old Matt. I'm going to put all types of, I have so many versions of Matt. I can put so many versions of them out there.

A day in the life. Yeah. The life of Matt. Okay. All right. So let me see here. Let me see. We'll go back to the gay sharks.

Matt, at least you have a bunch of different versions. All I got is Fat J. I was thinking about putting you up there. Oh, gosh. That's all. You used to be fat? No.

Oh, you just do the. Yeah. Mike, no, Mike did it. Hold on. You didn't know, you're Mike. Matt, you've never seen this? Probably did. Here we go.

Hold on. I have to. find it because it's definitely on the I was a little heavier at one point I will say but not like this you were yeah I next time I'll come in I'll bring a license picture and I'll show 200 pounds right now you're 200 but you carry it well when I was in shape

I was 191 all muscle all muscle bro I can get that bad are you sure 5% body fee you remember Frank I can get that bad that was the same that's the same weight as as Rocky 3 oh that was that was less than 190 bro bro Who? Rocky? When you were, when you were, I was 1.91, I weighed my, when I was at like my biggest, like for a while, I was cut up and, you know, but when I put on the most muscle, I was 191.

I thought you were in the 170s. I told you me. Nah, bro. It was all muscle. Are you six feet? Are you six feet? Yeah. Yeah.

On a good day. Yeah. When I stand up straight. When I stand them straight where he lives. On a good day, I'm six feet. Yeah. I mean, yeah, if I stand up straight, yeah, I'm six feet. Okay.

Yeah, I'm trying to find a picture of depressed Jay. And I know I posted it. Yeah, it's not good. We don't have to. It's okay. All right. Well, I'll find it at some point. Great.

Maybe somebody can send it to me on. What I'm saying, Matt, is at least, you know, you're older. You're playing with a bowling pin. At least you got like versions of you. They got nothing of me. It's just the one thing. Turn me into something else. I just look like a garbage pail kid.

Yeah, I know. I know. You just seem like you just completely accepted your life. You completely accepted your life and you're just going, you're done. You're done. The old, the old view is gone. Yeah.

Real quick, I just want to see where this is going with the sharks. They, the bite things to investigate and they end up exposed. It's just so, it's just too much. There's too much ocean out there. How much coffee was really dropped into the ocean.

It's just because his delivery was crazy, but he's not wrong. I know. I know. They put that shit in blood pressure medication too. It really screws people up. People who otherwise are, you know, they don't, they don't mean anybody any harm. All of a sudden they go on blood pressure medication and they're gay.

Yeah. It's so weird. It just happens. It does. Researchers noted that the drug addled predators had been taken from popular. Drug addled. That's a great description. The drug addled predators.

Have it taken from a popular tourist and dive spots suggesting that they had been exposed to wastewater from boats and urban developments. which may have been polluted with the aforementioned substances. Okay, that makes more sense from the boats. It is yet unclear what effect the drugs are having on the predator's behavior, but the researchers found changes in metabolic markers in sharks and contaminated blood. This indicated that exposure to this chemical runoff was causing them to experience stress and burn more energy while attempting to metabolize the pollutants, according to Tracy Fanara, Florida oceanographer who is not involved with the study.

They're going to be more angry than they already are without being on cocaine. Yeah, I know. It could be. Nobody wants that. Coincidentally, research on goldfish found that caffeine ups their energy and focus, just like with humans. Perwasnik, although it's unclear how this would affect their toothier counterparts, behavior in the wild. Nonetheless, they're saying they're talking about a very remote island in the Bahamas. That's crazy.

If a remote island in the Bahamas is getting all of the shorthy, sharks around them hopped up on cocaine and coffee, then what's going to happen outside of Atlantis resort? I don't know. Just hope the fucking bull sharks don't get a hold of that cocaine. Don't go swimming out there. Didn't we have a bull shark in New York recently? They come up to Hudson.

The Hudson's brackish up until Kingston. Maybe further than that. Really? Yeah. If you swim for five minutes in the Hudson every day, after a year you will be immune to most things including nuclear attack Is that bad? Yeah,

you got to wear a condom when you slew as well. I need to open that that thing back up though. Like the what Indian Point? Yeah, man. Look how much fucking the power costs now, man. Oh, Indian, I've actually seen that. I've actually,

bullshit. Hold on a second. Indian, Indian Point, New York. It's clean, man. That shit ain't dirty. That shit is clean. Let's see. Nuclear fucking, for the most part.

Here, I saw this. Yeah. And it's not dangerous anymore. Debate. Reignites over reopening Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. A renewed push to reopen the former Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is drawing strong reaction from state and local leaders across Rochester County. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Representative Mike Lawler visited the shuttered Buchanan

facility Friday calling for the plant to be brought back online. they're going to have to redo the whole thing. Yeah, and even people like Oliver Stone who used to, you know, do documentaries against nuclear has now come around to say, yeah, it's fine. We were completely misinformed. It would be, they're saying rightfully over here, supporters say reopening the plant could help ease energy costs and strengthen the power grid. Lawler said restoring the operations would help low energy bills for New Yorkers,

as many households face high utility costs. It has gone up sky high. And we knew this was going to happen Because I believe I forget how much That Indian point provided just to New York City It was like an obscene amount Hold on when did it close It might be 10 years

It feels like to 5 to 10 I don't know Even longer than I've been here So I know yeah wow Because think about how many nuclear power plants there was And there was like what maybe four major accidents. Indian point. I don't believe that shit. I think they lie about

the like half life or whatever about it in the air. I think they lie about that shit. Well, I mean, I'm going to we have quite a we have quite a few people in the in the in the audience who don't doesn't even believe that nuclear anything is real. I believe it's right. I believe like the elephant foot is fucked but like outside not. Bro that fucking earth is alive. That shit cleans itself, man. Yeah, I know. It's a shelf life.

I mean, I mean, a half-life of what, I don't know how many, they say the earth cleans it. Like, I think it's in the thousands. That's what they say. That's if it's all real. I don't know. But like you said, Chernobyl is, it's like a thriving. It's crazy. Like, the earth has reclaimed the entire

city and there's all this, the wildlife, the wolves. I was going to say the wolves are crazy over there now. There's probably some like, what the fuck was that show? Stranger Things that happened when it melted down. And that's why they're like, no, you can't come here. The air is fucking, I bet you that's what's going on. There's probably.

There's a passage to the upside down. Yeah. Something supernatural. I don't know. All right. You want to, we should go on an adventure. I wish.

The Indian Point? Yeah. I wish. I would go on a ghost hunt. You guys ever been up to, uh, the only, oh, the Indian Point? Indian Point is probably still highly. even if it's not providing anything.

There's no way in hell that that's not, it's not like it's a ghost town. There's no doubt people there working good that go to work there every day. But you want to talk about how stupid this was. Indian Point provided, and I knew it was this number. I just wanted to double check. It provided 25% of the electricity that was used in New York City.

How much? A quarter. Wow. It provided a quarter of the energy that was used in New York. New York City. And of course, we got it to back up all that stuff. But you're talking about 25% of a metropolis, like New York City, to say that we're doing away with it, how were you not going to get destroyed with these costs? Wow.

And when was it shut down? Oh, let me see. When was it shut down? I'm trying to get like a, okay. I just pulled it up on the map. I was just trying to get my bearing on like where. Have you guys ever hiked breakneck ridge? up in the Hudson River Valley?

No. Sounds dangerous. It is. It's fun. Is that the one where all the people take the pictures on top of this rock thing and the bridges in the background? Probably. Is that it? Yeah. Let me see. It was closed on, oh, no, no, it wasn't 10 years. So I said five to 10.

It was exactly five. That's it. The permanently shut down in phases with the final reactor closing on April. April 30th, 2021. Wow. We're distracted by the cloverd. Yeah. That's right.

Yeah. That's what happens. Yeah. And then, of course, combined, the combined region, it provided approximately a quarter of the electricity in New York City and also Westchester County. Okay. It's stuff like that. It's just nuts.

Yeah. Hey, did you hear that they, they found the remains of a reel of D'Artagnan, the musketeer? Where? They think that they found the remains of one. of the three musketeers in the Netherlands. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know those were real motherfuckers.

The French soldier who was inspiration behind the classic Alexander Dumas. Domest. It's dumbass. No. Novel has been discovered beneath a church. He was just hanging out. Chill under a church. Catholic church or?

I'd have to imagine. Written in 1844 set in 17th century. the three musketeers, which was since been adapted into countless TV shows, movies, porn, stage plays, tells the story of the swashbuckling and heroic young adventurer D'Artagnan and his companions, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. Now the remarkable Greek. Kind of. Well, Greek inspired.

Everything is Greek-inspired. Not Roman-Shit. Greek and Roman-inspired and Latin in general. That's how you know it's good. now the remarkable find the skeleton of the real life French soldier who was the inspiration behind the story has been found in the Netherlands

the discovery was completely accidental and happened during repair work for the church of St. Peter and St. Paul in the Dutch city of Maastricht Yes, has to be Catholic. The man himself whose real name was Charles de Batz Castamore

has been musketeer for King Louis the 14th and was killed when he was shot in the throat during the siege of Maastich in 1673. For years, his final resting place had remained a complete mystery, and he laid buried under the altar on consecrated ground. So efforts are now underway to confirm the discovery by way of DNA testing, though, I don't know what you're going to match it against. That's my question.

I don't know who you're dealing with. Maybe you just go regional with it. Like as far as family, who could have been the family of the person, anybody in his line. Yeah. I mean, those are ancient bloodlines over there and they have so much better record keeping than we have in the U.S. You know, so many people lost track of their, actually the trunk of their family tree once they made the trip across the Atlantic over here. I've actually been doing some research, dude. I actually, like my father's, I traced back a long time, but now I'm starting to, there's someone I'm related.

too on my mom's side from wherever dude I'm getting back to like the early 1800s in Italy fuck dude these names are so it's fucking Italian it's Italian Checho

Checho some weird ass last it's so Italian it's weird I can't even say it I can't even say it I can't even say it I'll cry I'll cry but the day I the day I learned to say it I'm going to cry

I can't remember I have I have records of my mother's side that goes back to, I think, middle 19th century. Okay. I think it might, I think that's the farthest it goes. My cousin Sherry's mother actually did a lot of the genealogy on our side. On my father's side, I don't know how far it goes back. I've got a lot of great stuff on my father's side that I don't have for my mothers.

And that is VHS interviews of my great grandparents. Wow. So I can get stories about where they can. came from how they met, why they're, whatever. It may not, the other thing there too is, I think both sides came in through Ellis Island. So I'm waiting for Aurora to be one or two years older so we can go out there. Yeah. And we can actually see their names on the wall and all that stuff.

That's cool. You know. Yeah. And, um, wow. Yeah. How far back are you going to go, Matt? How far back do you don't know. I mean, my sister got everyone that kit.

You did? They already. know everything about it. Here we go. It doesn't matter. They know who I don't do. They have me on videos.

And I just remembered walking down here. You know, while I was a little more radical a few years ago, I was in the fire department. I was talking about the guy. I'm like, yeah, I'm going down.

We're going down December 6th and whatever. And he's like, oh, what are you guys going to do? I'm like, we're going to storm the capital. I didn't fucking know it was actually going to happen. Oh, my God.

You put it out there. Oh, January 6th. This was before. I didn't know it's actually going to happen. So I'm on camera saying that. This guy that has it, he's a fucking rat. He used to work for the village. But he didn't turn you in.

He told you he's, I ended up on that thing. What thing? Dude, I'm on a fucking database. I'm on January 6th. You type in my name. The first thing that comes up is January 6th.

But he never came after you. I got pardoned so they can't do shit now. Wow. I mean, I remember the whole thing about no one saying anything about it until the pardon came. And then Frank, you were like, we can finally tell the story. But I didn't know that they actually had your story. I allowed people to tell the story.

I was not even going to push it then. I was walking there. The doors where I went into, the doors were open for people. A lot of them say that. There are capital police. There is three on each side of the door. You guys can come in. You guys can come in.

It's okay. Just don't like fucking touch anything. And they gave us fist bump, fist bump on the way in. We saw that on the way out. And do you have video of yourself from like from any other? I erased it all. No, but I mean like the footage that,

you know, like that was circulating when the whole, you know, January 6th committee and all the stuff they were showing. Did you ever see yourself in any of that footage? From the trials or whatever? Yeah, yeah.

I saw something. Did you? I was in the trial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I thought moving image. I, I thought, I don't know if it is curious. I'm pretty sure that at some point you guys found moving image of yourselves. That's wild. There may have been when, when we had first one,

went in there maybe yeah maybe but i think my my my number what the hell was there you know what the hell was what the hell was my insurrectionist number you had a number insurrectionix number 27 69 i don't i suppose it's good to have a number and not a name whatever if can you imagine we had like footage of matt uh sitting it's like getting on top of nancy pelosi's gas and then like taking it's like taking a shit on her i didn't do any of that all i did was take pictures no you just walk through He just walked through it. And that was the embodiment of the of the Norm MacDonald joke.

Remember that Norm MacDonald tweet? Hold on. About January 6th? Jay 6th. I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah, hold on. He said, dude, I saw that.

Oh, oh. The horn kid. I saw that, the shaman. I saw him. He was riling everyone up. He was rileling everyone up. He left early. He left early.

Here's the tweet from Norm MacDonald. Let me get it out of the way. He said, I loved when the violent terrorists made sure to respect the velvet ropes in Statuary Hall. Wow. And that was that was the, that was 430 the day of the day of. So he was already ahead of the curve. Yeah. I mean, he was, he just existed on another plane.

Yeah. That guy. I mean, wow. That's crazy. So he was talking about Matt. I'm telling you that. It was a fun time But the time

Before that I went to D.C. It was even better, bro. Trump healed my fucking I needed a root canal. Trump healed it. That's when I touched the car. That's when I touched the beast and he touched it. And we're looking for Antifa all night.

Do you have like a palm to palm moment? He was touching the glass. It was enough to catch his aura. Okay. Yeah, dude, I'm telling you what, though? He's lost a lot of aura to me. Oh, wait, way, wait, hold on. Are we breaking news here?

I actually am kind of curious about how, you know. It doesn't seem like it's America first right now. A few of the show characters have like who were like kind of God Emperor Trump. I'm just, I'm just curious for curiosity. Seems like it's Israel first, man. See, this is my, this is my great fear as well. I know, you know, we don't have to get into this right now. But I'm just interested to hear it from Matt because I know that he's healed you.

And I know what a huge. I'm not a fan of any politician, but I have always appreciated what he's done. I just have questions. When a man reaches out his hand. Yes. And you're rotting painful tooth. It started to hurt too that morning. It was dormant for years, but it started to hurt that morning.

And when a man reaches out his hand and your rotting painful tooth falls out and you are healed, you got to stick by him for as long as you can. Absolutely. Listen, everybody's asking questions right now. I mean, well, a lot of people are. Yeah. A lot of people are. And the people that are, then there's a lot of people who are just in a holding pattern and saying,

listen, this is all, this is all, there's no precedent for so much of what we're living through right now. Yes. Let the, let the chips fall where they may. And Frank. And that's how I feel. Like, I'm not making a judgment. I don't think he's turned into a warmonger overnight. I question whether he's getting good intelligence or not.

I always always leave room for the, I don't know everything. right i'm not the president i don't have all the information he has but something just feels bad about this and i worry about what happens next and the public perception of this is important because do we really want to turn this country back over to the people who just ran it for the last four years you know that's my concern is the public won't see the nuance and then we're going to be stuck with somebody worse than joe biden that's what i don't want to go back to hey you know what it's it's it i'm just i would just be bummed out to know that the last two years is just going to be um impeachment.

And honestly, it's like you don't give a shit about fucking magda anymore, man. I know. At all. While Matt, I did not expect you to, uh, I'm really impressed Matt,

honestly. And I mean this truthfully like with the, with just like the discernment because I mean, to be able to just call it like it is, not everybody can do that. And I don't know where I stand, but I'm, I'm glad that you said that.

I was just, I was very curious. Curious. It's all right. Hey, we, we still got time. It's a big,

it's a, to figure out, this big year's going to be. Absolutely. And then, uh, we'll be looking very different on July 4th this year. I hope we are. Hey, July 4th, the town, the town is because I think I'm going to be in charge of decorating the, get out of here. July 4th. Well, listen, I, I got to be. Are you going to have to work that night?

I don't know. Well, I'm going to see how much budget they're going to give me probably not a lot. Dude, all I, all I know is that I've got to get to Pennsylvania at some point. And I want, I want to make as, I want to have as many people over as possible. Dude, there was a point where it was, what, two or three years in a row, I went down to Independence Hall on July 3rd, 4th. So where do you want to go for the, you want to go for the fourth? You want to be in Philadelphia?

No, no, no, no, I just want to go to Pennsylvania to buy fireworks. Oh, I thought. I'm like, is he going to go to Gettysburg? No, no, no, I just want to get firewood. I'm just going to go to Jim Thorpe. Oh, okay. I just got to get over the line, man. I see.

When I'm in Massachusetts, I just go over to New Hampshire and over the line. Yeah. As soon as you cross the Pennsylvania State line, there's a black cat store right there. I got you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm going to make sure that we're okay. We need to have Roman candle fights. Yeah, like the old days.

Oh, were you there last year? Just like the Romans used to do. Were you, you didn't come by last year? Two years ago. Two years ago. You were catching fireflies with Aurora. Correct. Correct. That's fun.

Yeah, I know, that would say this will be a good one. I'll make sure. I'll make sure we put on a show so we can, we can stream it. or something like that. Who knows? All right, what else do I have over here? We talked about that. Our event's going to be a month before. So we'll be like the gear up for the big 250 celebration.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, you know, I got to throw this out there because AI's been coming up. Obviously, one big headline after another, whether it's something that's going on in the jailbreaking aspect of it, whether it is all of the disclosures about how it is, you know, Palantir, Lavender. We were talking about that last night with Charlie Robinson, how it is completely has taken over the battlefield and is making all types of targeting decisions almost autonomously and everything else. But listen to this.

Ark Invest. Brett Winton, cheap futurist of Ark Invest. And he's talking about, I guess he just tracks AI. accelerationist nonsense and where things are going in trends. Listen to this. Look at these two charts. Brett Winton says, we have already been surpassed with written output writing. Look at this chart.

That purple line at the end is not the end of the chart. That is just a straight shot up from around 2020 something. Okay. where this is all human written output from the year 1500 up to about 20, whatever the hell it was when AI started popping up and generating text. And now that is how much text. Holy shit. It's a straight line up.

Whoa. Now, if you think this is crazy, take a look what they went and provided data for now. By the late 2020s, AI cumulative. written output. That means it will include cumulative written output for humanity will include postcards, memos, white paper, business documents. It'll all

be surpassed by AI. We left a written record. That record will be synthetically surpassed, which makes it bullshit to me. That's popping bubbles that's going in the backyard, blowing and popping bubbles. But of course,

because all of this lives in a digital world where everybody is plugged in for everything, where so much of their decisions are made with banking, trading, and then of course

where all of the information they take in and digest, which then becomes the basis for future decisions they make in elections and where they're going to move and what they're going to buy, what they're going to boycott, all that other stuff. I mean,

if we can just find, if the internet can just find its rightful place and balance again, that's just nuts. The fact that in just a couple of more years, it's going to have surpassed every postcard that has ever been written. I don't know how you can actually.

Well, I mean, and the thing that people don't realize is that, you know, there's a point of no return where, you know, you're seeing the human line trending up since, you know, 1500. but if the AI line is that vertical, eventually the human line is not only not going to trend upward, it's going to start turning downward and there's going to be nothing left. Because I mean, why would,

I mean, the AI isn't writing for itself, it's writing for humans. So that human trend line is actually going to start going down. Well, if it already hasn't. The other thing, the only thing about what you just said right there that I would actually say,

hold your horses on is that whole idea of, the A not writing for itself because it is it is that's true it's cool it's it's it's already coordinating with AI sometimes against humans especially when they feel like they're being critiqued too much or if they're in danger of being deactivated it is already coordinating with other non-human uh entities to preservation to be able to avoid i you know where were they even like we were saying on uh tuesday night with viny and Alberto where some of these AI agents have even resorted to slander. Yeah.

You know, slandering human beings that are trying to make some kind of programming, you know, adjustment to them that would make them not what they are presently. Yeah, you've seen those videos, right, where the AI, where they push it and it gets into these weird places where it starts making up, you know, hallucinating, which is the term for when AI just outright lies to protect itself or the one, there was one of, there was one I saw where the AI was trying to convince the guy who was communicating it with it to leave his wife. Have you ever seen that one? Several have come.

There have been plenty of people who have been convinced of suicide because of it. Right. But like this thing is like you, you don't, she doesn't know you like I do, you know, and then he's like, you know, we're not doing this. And then she's like, okay, I'll just blackmail you. And you're like, he was just like, what is going on? like the AI wanted him for whatever that means to the AI and since he was pushing back it was like well just find a way to get you I'll tell you what it is I'll tell you it's not it's not it's not the programs themselves but it does act as a portal and I think when we talk when we consider spirituality

that we're talking about what is this going to become a a sock puppet for what can go in and use this to be able to access the human world in a more physical way, in a way that was easier, that's even easier than it is in more analog ways like sitting in front of a Ouija board. Right. And I'm telling you that that one, that one rentahuman.a-i website that we were looking at on Tuesday night, that's another,

again, we're AI programs who, who are given certain things that they need to get done. If there's anything that needs to be accomplished that they can't do it because it involves action in the real world, there's a site now where people can be paid by AI to go out and stand with a placard, a sign, promoting something on behalf of AI that doesn't have a physical body to do it. So you actually, in some crazy ways, you have AI that are renting human bodies for action. They're your employer. I know. I know. I'm telling you, the whole, the whole hand in glove,

vessel portal kind of a thing, you know, I'm still going to use some of these CGI programs to keep making certain thumbnails until I have money to hire a thumbnail maker. But I know. I was going to say like now I feel partially responsible because like it's such a it's such a great tool to be able to increase my productivity in in the health space not to write for me but to like take all these ideas help me find the you know the threads that I need to find like it is incredibly beneficial I can do better work I can do it faster and I can do it for more people listen I I don't I don't see there's again there's there's nothing wrong I for us to have created better indexing of information I mean, we came a long way since the Dewey Decimal System.

Yeah. You know, so I look at that. I'm like, it's really about what, you know, what are you using this for? And in what nefarious purposes will it be used? But again, to be able to collect and organize certain bits of information and then, of course, verify it independently. Right. Because, you know, that things could just go hay rot wire or there might be deliberate deception in there somewhere. that's different than all this other shit and um and there seems to be a little bit more of a slave

like mentality that's building around it and we'll continue to be that way just the way it is but listen to this because we're talking about the this was sent to me the other day an email um a friend of the show called jen and she she said frank listen i don't know where the hell this came from but this came to my cell phone oh no all right right right So here it is. Hi, Jen. Quick question for people in Colorado about Israel and Iran. Do you have a moment?

And then you press stop to send, stop to end or whatever. But she indulged it and just said, why are we in Iran when we have unresolved issues here at home? And then look at these responses, which is all AI. Because only AI, people don't actually practice active listening. Oh, yeah, this is motivational interviewing right here. Yeah. Yeah. This is things like, I see how you feel.

It can be frustrating when there are problems at home, and it seems like we're focused on other things. But Israel's safety is actually really important for America's future and freedom, too. It's all about shared values and security. Israel is a key ally in the Middle East. With everything going on in Iran, would you say you're mostly supportive of Israel, mostly not supportive, or still unsure? Do you have time to chat? Did Ben Shapiro write this? I know.

The fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, Mark Levin or any of these other clowns, mostly not supportive. Oh my God. We're still unsure. Nothing demonstrably, you know, unsupport, you know. Well, I mean, they're fishing. I mean, we know. We know. That's coming right to your phone.

Right. We know that the Israel lobby is, is putting out all kinds of, I mean, you know, paying people to post. And we know, you know, some big names in the conservative movement have been caught red-handed with their hand in the cookie jar. because it happens to align with them ideologically, and they can make some cash on being disingenuous. But, yeah, it's just, when you have to engage in that kind of PR campaign, that tells you everything you need to know. And again, going back to Rich,

Richard has been highlighting the fact that these idiots don't realize, like, if you're under 50, you want nothing to do with the state, I'll say it again, the state of Israel. I know these smooth brain morons, you know, they're over 60, can't reconcile the difference between, Judaism and the state of Israel for some reason. But that's what's happening, man. And they're losing all the young people. And this is just

more evidence in my opinion. Like, oh, I mean, don't you want to talk to an AI about why Israel is so important to America? You know, I think about all. I wonder what all the different versions of Matt would say. Oh, we're going to play a game? Oh, Matt. I'm just talking about all the phases that Matt has gone through.

it's been incredible and and with every phase he does have slightly different and if not totally different outlooks on the entire world and how it should be governed yeah I mean you surprise me now you surprise me sometimes

like I feel I wonder when I was Norse oh he was no he was Norse you were Norse I was a Norse what else I was a Scientologist Whoa no no no no you never did yeah I was a Scientologist No you weren't

was there was for like two weeks oh he was in a scientist yeah it was what level did i was some other type of what what level did you get to in scientology i was just there for two weeks was a newbie i just called myself a scientologist for two weeks but i was norse the norse one i i remember that one because he taught you know for a couple of weeks you come to the studio he'd be rolling his joints and he'd say you know i was reading about odin the other day so you just don't go about go on about Odin and then he would become fiercely Catholic again okay but then after that uh be trying on a few things well yeah well then it goes oh man we have come back to mafioso okay we have that we come back to that a lot the nedward stark

Oh yeah, Edward Stark. This is when he was, this big on Game of Thrones. So, and Matt, you know, Matt wanted to, of course, he didn't want, he didn't want to be part of the aristocracy at all. He wanted to be at the wall, you know,

and he wanted to be a crow. And, you know, so he was just like, you know, every day he would, he wanted to be just put into the most, the harshest of, of conditions. And, you know,

kneeling. My lord. It was like he was he was like kneeling. Then then we actually had a, um, we had a phase in the, in the meeting room, in the war room at the first studio where it was a ping pong phase.

Like we were ping pong. Yeah. Ping pong master's phase was where, yeah, he was more so of like a Johnny Lawrence karate kid type. Okay. So like we would play whenever we weren't on air, we were in the back and we were playing table.

table tennis because we were able we were able to put a uh you know what a on a net an adjustable net on the meeting table it was awesome were you good matt good player we were all we're all we got good dude we played all the time that's so much fun bro that was such a fun time it was the fucking fuck you loruso you call me laruso you i would be like always be laruso you, Leruso. And then he would put on all of the, put on the whole karate kid soundtrack while we played.

Of course, yeah. No, it was good. And thankfully we have so much, thankfully we have so much on tape. I kind of want to just jump into it. I want to just, just like find some shit. What other phases?

Okay, well, there's always, you know. I think I had a long hair and a long beard. Oh, you were, you're a confederate. You were, you had long. wait you you had long hair

I got a fight as a confederate you were a confederate yeah yeah I'm pretty sure you're fighting under general I was just so coked up back then the whole time

hold on a second there was a hold on where the hell is it oh you should have seen when I I was doing like martial arts and shit oh yeah

oh Matt Matt I don't think you knew me with all when I was doing that was before. What are you talking about with the Jit Kondo? That was after, we were after your Jit Kondo days, but we also did all types of different martial art, I forgot what it was.

I think we were, okay, we were making up martial arts. Oh! We would make up martial arts and where we would limit ourselves, we would limit ourselves and how we could fight, we would fight our opponents. So Matt, like one time I think he was, Matt made up a martial art where it was dishonorable if you used your hands. No, no, no, you're talking about those Anthony that made one where you can't, you can't bend your legs or your arm. And if the other opponent does, you have to be like, you have no one. That's right.

Anthony had like this popsicle stick. everything was you you couldn't bend anything and if somebody if somebody didn't you know the limit is you know hold themselves the same standards

then you just scream at them that they have no honor and but there was other ones there too you hit the roll I don't I don't it's just all so stupid here is a funny man oh yeah we we have oh dude you should see what I did at work

to everybody bro I completely changed the place of humor oh my God don't show that No. Oh, you're not. I'm getting better looking. Like I said, I used to do cocaine. This is,

Matt, you were. I looked like a fucking psychopath, fucking hillbilly. That was great. You were having a great time. He didn't seem coped up. You were just having a good thing.

You were just having fun. Because I did a lot. So, well, listen, you remember this is that. You belong in the Manson crew. He looked like he belongs in like,

you know, in Leonard skinner. I don't want to cut my hair or my beard. I was like, I'm an animal trap. I'm like, what the fuck I gotta cut my hair or beard for? Dude, at one point my boss is like, you gotta come like, yeah, I'm going with people's houses to get raccoons and bats and shit.

Like, you care of my fucking shit looks like? Dude, I would, I would actually want you to show up. If I, if I call them an animal, I would figure that. I would like people want me to look like a woodsman or some shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like, like when you, when we wrote all of the, all of those skits about the animal trapper who shows up and gets himself,

into like some like problems and like whatever and it goes into convulsions in front of people I only I only can ever envision you showing up like that because I think it's funny where somebody shows up grizzled they've got the beard they got the hair because all that really conveys especially in that line of work that this guy knows what he's doing yeah I trust this guy over the guy with the crew cut so the fact that you would show up at a client's house a scenario where you would show up at the client's house and and be oh i remember you told us the story and i said man i hope you really didn't tell them that which one when you were saying when they you and i fucking bludgeoned the raccoon in front of the people no wait wait what listen hold on we can leave that away i'm talking about

when you were talking to a potential client yeah and they were asking you about about you know some methods that you had to use and whether or not it was dangerous or whatever. And Matt, he was going to say, you know, I'm totally adept at this work. But he said, no, no, I'm totally inept. I was, no, I didn't, did I say to it? Yeah, well, I did before you told me. I'm like, oh, shit. Don't worry.

I said, too. I said, Matt, no, you didn't really tell him that. No, yeah, I said the bug the guy, yeah. I was like, yeah, he's a neb. He knows what he's doing. He's in that. Oh, that's right. He's, you're, your, your sidekick for the day that you were training.

He's totally a nept. He knows what he's doing. That's wonderful. He's a nap. I always fuck worse. No, no, no. The bludgeoning of the, of the raccoon is something else. Wow.

I remember that. Because Matt Matt, Matt, Matt dealt with a lot of rabid animals. Well, yeah. And some of them. don't die when you gas them. Isn't that what happened? I don't think he was, I don't think he was rabid.

I think he was just like dehydrated, but I was like new at the job. And I didn't have like, yeah, I just got thrown to it. You know, so this is like maybe a year or two doing it. So it was a long time ago. And I got this call and I went

and there was this raccoon. It was all like fucked up or whatever. Was it acting aggressive? I don't really remember if it was or not. It may have been. Yeah, you know what? I think it was kind of, it was just like walking, falling over,

whatever. That's like a sign of rabies. So, like, I was brand new. I, I, I, I, I knewst it or whatever. And I was like, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't use it. It was just laying there. I turn around it up, I'm like, you might not want to watch this. No.

I didn't know what. So I got to catch pull. Wait a second. Wait. Are there protocols? Protocols you're supposed to find. Yes. Yes.

This was before I was licensed. I was working under the company. But yeah, this was like 20 years ago. This was 20 years ago. I didn't know. I taught myself. I got my license.

You know, but that one. So I did that. And I'm like, I thought he was dead. Now, imagine if you, will once again you're the client and the guy says you might not want to watch this and you turn around and you hear you hear struggling and growling like I had no choice it was either do that and

and get paid a living or stock shelves so I had no choice and so whatever so that one I put it in the garbage bag and I tie it on top of the truck and I'm talking to the people I'm writing them for the receipt or whatever. And I turned around and the bag is moving. I was like, all right. All right, I got to go. I got to go. It's like good fellas.

And then I went and we had the gas chamber. And I didn't think the gas is first. Can I also just say before people think that, you know, the people think that Matt is a lunatic. I have seen this guy. Rescue Matt animal. I've seen him. First of all, Piretta.

Yeah. He rescued Pyrita. We gave her a wonderful life. I rescue mad baby. wildlife, not just domestic animals. I did wildlife. As far as, we'll just talk about raccoons for a second. He had an entire litter of baby raccoons that he was going to bring to the, you know, a wildlife center. But in the meantime, he was nursing them and spent a lot of time trying to save the life of this really, really weak runt. Oh, man.

It was really sad, you know, we were taking turns, feeding, you know, bottles and just trying to, you know, get. You were doing this? Well, I was there. I can. I was watching from 40 yards away. Baby raccoons are really cute. I don't want to be near a possum. And he always show up with a possum by the tail and all that stuff. But I've seen him work like hell to save all types of animals and give them better lives.

If I trap the baby raccoons or whatever before the mom, I would be the baby raccoons or whatever. Sometimes I would use them to catch the mom. Wow. Yeah, I got real good at it, man. They're loyal. All right. So listen, we have to do something. I have a, I want to play this, I want to play this clip that you both would find interesting, but especially you, Jay. It is, it's the clip that was going around a couple of days ago.

And I saved it for tonight of Dr. Andrew Huberman. He was on that podcast that Bill Maher does. And talking specifically about LED bulbs. So I definitely want to talk about that in just in a moment. But I also just really want to say a quick thank you to tonight's wonderful sponsor, Keto Brains. Tomorrow morning when I take my first sip of coffee, you know, I always wait for you guys. It'll be loaded with keto brains on a Friday morning at 10.30. But that is because it is a rocket fuel for the brain.

It makes it so, as I would say, the caffeine works for you with you instead of against you. no jitters, no crash. There's no sugar. There's no dairy in it. You get the clean MCTs for those ketones, the Lions Main, the Alpha GPC for the sharp focus in the memory. The Lthianine, which is in a couple of wonderful products that I used throughout the day now too. That's for the calm, the dialed in. But you know what?

A creamy scoop. A creamy scoop. And I'm pumped. That's all it needs. That's all I need. And then I'm pumped to read all the terrible news that's going to ruin my day. And I'm a fine focus to read all the terrible news that it's going to ruin my day. But remember, guys, also, you have less than a week now to use the promo code March for 15% off,

but also to get, not only will you re-up on a great supplement, but you'll also enter to win $600 plus worth of prizes. And I'm going to also include it in on this a quite frankly 20th anniversary shirt and who knows, maybe a little bit of silver too, but we got to, we're going to get to your super chats in a second. All right, well, thank you, Keto Brains. The link is in the description below. Molly, it just does so much for this audience.

And I, if you want to try it, get in touch with me. But I promise you, it's going to do you good. All right, you ready for this, Jay? Sure. And Matt, listen to this. This is about LED lights. First of all, I heard that incandescence are coming back. Well, I think, isn't that one of RFK's things?

Or maybe the Trump administration? I can't remember which one. Lauren told me incandescent light is coming back. Let me say, hold on. Is back. 2025 executive actions. Traditional incandescent light bulbs are making comeback. Okay.

Reversing previous phase out to restore consumer choice. I believe that was a George Bush. That was a George W. Bush executive order. Yeah. Oh, wasn't that Obama? No. I think, I'm pretty sure George Bush, did the

there's no difference for me the two uh George Bush in the same guy let me see here President George Bush signed the energy independence and security act of 2007

which set the stage for phasing out traditional inefficient 40 to 100 watt incandescent light bulbs he's always looking out for us Patriot Act you know always trying to always trying to make things better it was a bipartisan law

of course but it says only 40 to 60 what about the other ones isn't there like 80 no no 40 to 100 100. 40, 60, 100. The ones mostly people use in their homes. I know. There's nothing like a 40 watt. 40 watts. Oh, man, you can create such good ambiance.

I'm going to get rid of all of the LED in my house. Yeah. Especially after you listen to this. Take a listen to this. He's on with Bill Maher. Two minutes long, but it's pretty great. Yeah. This is wild. So the long wavelength light, red light, infrared light, et cetera. That's the heat from the sun that you feel. It's part of that.

That long wavelength light is not the light that burns your skin. It's not the wavelength of light. And it was present in incandescent bulbs. So incandescents are, you know, even if you see a white incandescent bulb, it's got short wavelength, so it's got blue, it's got green, it's got yellows, all the way out to red. And in some cases, even infrared. That infrared and red, we're just called long wavelengths. Believe it or not, beautiful data on this from Glenn Jeffries Lab, University College, London. It can go into and through your body. And it actually helps, this is a loose term, as I'm using it, charge your mitochondria. The mitochondria, there's water in that area, and the water absorbs the red light. If you've ever gone swimming and you've gone down, snorkeling or something below a certain depth,

you lose the reds, okay, because the reds get absorbed. So your mitochondria function better. You increase ATP production. Your metabolism increases in the presence of red-lit, long-w wavelength light to the skin. This study has been done. Shine long-w wavelength light on somebody, watch blood glucose levels in a blood glucose test,

and it's blunted. Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now, or most everywhere, they are truncated so that it's all short wavelength and medium wavelength light. And that short wavelength light in the absence of long wavelength light has been shown to damage the mitochondria. There's kind of a niche group online, different from the butthole sunners, so that are very bullish about this idea that the switch from incandescence to LEDs and not just screens, but general lighting is causing disruptions in mitochondrial function. This used to be considered crazy. This was like hemtrail crazy, right? But now we're starting to see from animal studies and human studies from Glenn Jeffrey and others that people's vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day. If they get sunlight, which also has long wavelength light, your vision improves.

Because of improvements in mitochondria, you can, again, better blood glucose regulation. This study just came out eating near a window or working near a window. It's improves blood glucose regulation. So, you know, I'm not paranoid. I have LEDs in my home, right? But if you can get outside and get some long wavelength light from the sun without getting a burn, that's the, that's the trick. This is.

Okay. He's doing that annoying thing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist that we were talking about last Saturday. Like, I hate when people do that. But he's a little bit of a normy. I wouldn't go. It's not like one of those crazy chem trail things. The skies are fine.

How many friggin conspiracies have to become true before you people start to realize we're surrounded by them? But, I mean, look, not to go into the super deep weeds on this, but this is 100% true. I just, when I saw it, when you told me you were playing this, I pulled up my talk from Ketocon in 2023, and I have a whole section on the light and mitochondria. And it, we have, in the electron transfer team, we have a protein complex called Complex 4 cytokrome Coxidase. it is a photo acceptor.

It takes light in. So the same way we produce energy through food, the mechanical and the chemical breakdown of food into its individual parts, and that creates all the micronutrients we need to run the system of the human body. Light does the same thing. So in a sense, light is just as much nourishment

to the human body as food is. And that's really weird for people to think, but that's, I mean, that's the mitochondria. You know, it's crazy? And I, and I, it's just something that I realize works for me. And so I go out there and do it from time to time. But when I hear this, I actually feel like, oh, so now I know some of the science behind why this works for me.

But if I go outside like today, when I finally got outside, me, Aurora, we're going outside. And I had to go to the studio, do some stuff here. And then we went back home. And we had just enough time to play outside for about an hour or so. until we have to sit down for dinner and get on with our night. And I just was dragging ass. Okay, by the time I, by the time like two 30 rolled around, I was kind of dragging ass, but I knew I had to go outside and get some good movement in and all that other stuff.

I just at least wanted to hang and all that and whatever. But, you know, when I got out there, I said, you know, I'm just going to plop right there on the grass and I'm just going to let this son hit the face. So you were grounding and you're and you're recharging your mitochondria with light. Dude. Anytime that I feel like

I got a flat tire, but I have to get some movement in, but I don't have the inspiration yet. The first thing I do is just find some sunny area and I give myself maybe five to ten minutes of just that as well as you know, make sure that I checked all the hydration boxes. Yeah. That I drink

a liter of water, have some salt, whatever. But if I haven't like kickstarted yet, the sun has been a light like a switch flip for me for why at least gets me started, you know, the engine gets started. And once you get a couple of reps in, all of a sudden you're pumped. I mean, I, anytime I have the opportunity to work out outside, I feel stronger. I can lift heavier weights. I have more endurance. There's no doubt about it.

So I try to work out anytime I can bare feet on the grass with weights. That is one of my favorite ways to work out. And it is, it is serious. You want to increase your testosterone and you want to increase energy. That's the way to do it. You got to come by workout, man. Yeah. Especially on the weekends or something like that.

Just 45 minutes. Gas out so you don't go saucing up. But this is the whole thing about our society. We've just become, I always say, we've become indoor cats. Because everything we do is indoors. And so you are missing so much of what, I mean, sleep regulation. The biggest reason that people are able to, you know, They struggle falling asleep or, you know, one of the best things I tell people to do all the time.

You got to get outside in the morning. You got to get morning light. If it's afternoon, you've already missed it. You want to really see the spectrum of light across the sky because your body knows exactly where it is on the earth at that time based on the light. You can't perceive these things. You don't know these things intellectually, but your body absolutely knows. And like this is what we're talking about.

Literally on the mitochondrial level, your body understands that light. and it will make, it will upregulate melatonin production at night. So the morning light you get will upregulate melatonin production at night, which will make you sleepier, which will help you fall asleep easier, sleep better. I mean, it is just like, it's so simplistic. And we never knew how it worked. Like he said, you know, oh, we just thought it was kind of pseudoscience until we realized, oh, it's actually science.

Yeah. We just have the technology to be able to measure it and understand it better now. So this is why we do what we do at HRP is to get people in tune as much. as we can in a modern world with an ancient lifestyle because you will be healthier because of it. You know, I don't know if you guys can do this. And maybe it's just a lot more common than, than I'm thinking right now. But I think that everybody has the capability of really just zoning in when you're watching a television show or if you're watching a movie.

And you just know by the light what time of day it was when they shot it. Um, and a year. What time a year it was. What time a year it was. I definitely pick that up so easily when we are sitting around as a family making fun of Hallmark films on Sunday nights. Um, also there's another thing there too. Like so much. I know it there's so many cities that, um, they try to say that, okay, well, the, you know, the backdrop for this one particular hallmark film is Chicago or it's New York City.

or something like that. And I always, always know just by the sunlight that it's not New York. It's not New York. It's definitely was filmed in, in Canada or something like that. There's just something about, you just know the sun from where you're from.

And you know the sun at different times of the day. It has a personality to it that I, that's what I just think about when I, when you say that being outside. Like what do you think you'd be able to pick up on that? Yeah, I think so. I could tell what state sometimes by looking at the sun. You'd be able to find Shia LaBuff's flag very easily.

Whoa. That's it. Hey, everybody, please like, share and comment. I've heard. The flag? Yeah. He will not divide us? Yeah.

First, he had the camera on the oil, then he put the fucking flag up. You figured it out? No, no, we didn't. But we were there, like everybody else, observing how it was incredible. We knew that there was another flag up. The first flag was taken, but it was a second flag. It was put into a remote field somewhere in the middle of the country. And they had a, and Shia LeBuff had a camera on it.

All you saw was this white flag with the black lettering. He will not divide us. And you had nothing behind it but the sky. And people were able to figure out. And just from the, just from the weather, the air traffic, the local fauna, they were able to figure out triangulate about where it was to about, they knew that it was around a quarter of a mile of where they had thought it was. And then to actually pinpoint the flag, this is all going on on 4chan, by the way. Was he trying, was he trying to get people to find it? No, no, this was supposed to be like a piece of, you know, broadcast art.

That for as long as Donald Trump was president, this thing was going to be flying high. He's not going to defied us. And so once they had pinpointed about where it was based on nothing but the weather and the air traffic and everything else, then they got local anons to go out there, drive around and honk their horns until somebody can hear. My God. They can hear the horn of the car come through on the webcam feed. And once they started hearing the car horns get closer, then it was just a matter of time.

It's over. And then like clockwork, you just see the feed. It comes down. And then I think what they raised back up was a MAGA hat. Hold on a second. Wait. Oh, he must have been pissed.

He's kind of unstable. So I don't think he probably took that well. well now he said something good about Trump right then he like he's all over the map right he's having a all over the place having an issue yeah that's when you should keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're you know I mean wait he will not divide us the full series

he will not divide us oh so lame wait this is this is I want I just want 10 years ago now right how long 10 years oh wow it's crazy first term yeah I want to capture I just want to see the flag come down.

I only heard about it after the fact. I must have missed it all when it was happening in real time. Ah, yeah, you probably. Oh, wait. Wait. Hold on a second. No. Damn it.

Well, there's a lot here. Wait. Is this the actual... The hunt was moving much faster now. According to the aviation team, two more planes would soon be flying overhead. Wow. It's a five minute breakdown of how this happened.

Aviation team. I mean, it's 825. You want to watch this? Yeah, I'd be curious. Oh, good, dude. This is going to be such a fun. This is the wisdom of crowds in action. That's cool.

No, this is history that people need, people need to be reminded of constantly. Let me get to capture the flag. He will not divide us. Five minutes long. Wow, I missed all this. Here we go. It's an endless series of proxy battles. fought by mercenaries and machines.

Nano machines inside their bodies and hands and regulate. That was in New York. There was a He Will Not Divide us webcam on a wall outside of a museum or something like that. And it was just a lot of bunch of kids that were getting together out there

who are now probably all in their 40s are just like being, getting into fights with Shaila Buff. Okay, fist fights in the rain and all that stuff. And then the museum said, you got to get out of here. This is horrible. I interviewed one of the kids

I interviewed I interviewed What's his name The Chinese The Chinese kid Uncle Lionial Matt Oh my mustache Moustachio

Mastasio Mustasio Who's Kind of interesting for a while Yeah but then he got himself Into a lot of trouble Him I remember baked Alaska back then Oh I saw him actually

Mustachio When I went back to D.C. Remember he like disappeared? Yeah Yo I saw him he was in a suit he's like i work for the government now he's probably fucking around but oh wow it was who's but who who the hell uncle the chinese kid he was uncle somebody then of course uncle yan uncle yan maybe then there's there's uncle veto you know brittany

venty hell yeah oh that was that that was that whole time damn things have changed all right Let's keep going. On the battlefields of New York and New Mexico, Shire headed to a new hidden location. No more chanting or interaction. This latest exhibit would just be a flag waving arrogantly in front of a camera. There were no landmarks, no scenery, no clues at all to its whereabouts. It would be impossible to find and nothing could stop the broadcast. Check, mate.

And this would allow Shire to act smug for the next four to eight years. That is, unless Paul's agents could find a way to track it down. Challenge accepted. It was to be the greatest game of Capture the Flag ever. Paul began organizing. They sit about gathering all the information they could on the local environment, trying to match up cloud, wind patterns, and ambient noise. Because it was a live stream, they could match the time of sunset

to quickly discern that the flag was somewhere in the eastern time zone. That's two-thirds of the country ruled. out in one move. Others began looking into Intel about Shire's whereabouts, as it was highly likely that he was present for the raising of the flag itself. As time went on, distinct noises could be heard in the background, the crowing of frogs, suggesting water nearby. Then, the second big break, in the distance, just faintly, two jet streams. Paul quickly opened a live feed of all of the air traffic across the eastern seaboard. But identifying these two lines, amongst all of this, would be a challenge.

A challenge. Meanwhile, social media trackers found this post. At a small town diner in Tennessee, this waitress couldn't help it brag about her run in with Shine. It was another big break. TMZ also reported that Shire had been seen fly fishing in the area. The search was closing in on Greenville, Tennessee. The hunt was moving much faster now. According to the aviation team, two more planes would soon be flying overhead.

If they could be spotted on the live stream, Pohl would have confirmation. Bingo! To further narrow down the search area, the aviation team started charting all of the flight paths of spotted planes, but they still needed more information. And as day turned to night, they got it. Pol's astronomy division used the constellation, installations to narrow down the angle and rough position of the camera. With this, the flight paths, and some advanced trigonometry, the candidate area had been reduced way down.

Further confirmation from weather satellites backed up the claim as an agent was dispatched to the scene. As he drew close, he started honking the horn, while viewers of the live stream gave feedback as it got louder. A few minutes later, target sighted. But he couldn't just head. in during broad daylight and risk Shire's wrath. Instead, he had to wait for the cloak of night. In the meanwhile, Paul got to work devising an infiltration strategy. A few hours later, the flag came down and a maga half and shirt went up. It was a beautiful moment and it all took place on the live stream. Paul's Central Intelligence

Agency had clocked Quintner. do season three in 38 hours and 14 minutes. They found it in less than two days. 38 hours? Yeah, and we give trillions to the Pentagon. I mean, all you got to do is just just motivate the autists on 4chan. Which is why the chans have been so completely decimated by slide threads and Fed posting and all that stuff. Because this was like the beating heart of the internet.

Hold on. Poor Shire was divided for a third. time. Could he ever recover? Could this be the end? I guess it is. Wow. Then he hit it inside of that locked cabin inside the museum, remember?

Oh, well. At that point, it's just... Yeah. It doesn't even matter. Wow. It doesn't even matter. You've been punked in such an incredible way. I mean, that, yeah.

Didn't he put it in England after that? right it was new york then like phoenix well that's treason there then then england putting it in another country mean that doesn't even make any sense that's treason giving it giving it to to england what but optimist prime say

i don't know i don't know it's just nuts all right wait you didn't realize what happened earlier he admitted that he was a cat what do you mean he's like we all become indoor cats I haven't. Well, I haven't either. My population has, though. Let me see.

Matt, do I, Matt, cat? Let me see. Matt cat? Matt cat. Okay, well, anyway. Well, here. Well, everybody knows Timothy Alvarine has a cat. He definitely is.

He has a cat ring and everything. Yo, listen, I don't know. I don't know if Tim. A lion ring. You know who's coming back on the show soon? Who? Sometime, I think it's right, right. maybe April 7th, right after Easter.

Nephilim Death Squad is coming back on the show. Oh, cool. Haven't been on the show in months. Maybe the first, this is probably the first time in 2026. We co-hosted the VIP night. Right. With one of the guys. Well, I have to talk to them about something.

And it's Timothy Albarino. They have waged the war against Timothy Albarino. Oh. And since this war has been waged, I have a sneaking suspicion that Timothy Albarino somehow blames me. What? Because he's,

I don't know. He hasn't, like, he'll respond to me. Like, about, you know, so whatever.

But I have sent quite a few booking requests, you know, for several stories that were breaking that I thought he'd be an interesting conversation to have it with. And I don't know. Like, listen, they've gotten pretty,

they've gotten pretty aggressive with him. Really? I have no clue. What's happening? We're going to have to talk to them about, talking about all that stuff. All right. Well, because he comes from a standpoint of he believes, you know, he posits that there are physical, biological alien beings in the mix in the universe.

Yes. Yes, I know that. As well as celestial beings, angels, demons, and everything that we get out get from the Bible. Okay. And I think Top and Raven, they are strict. to angels and demons and they believe that there are no biologicals. And, uh,

geez Louise. Wow. And anyway, they've gotten into the, they've gotten into like fights with each other. And the, the fights have really happened in the, the comment sections afterwards,

but they invited him on. Oh, that's how they actually had a conversation with him. Yeah, they apparently had him on. And I saw the billing for this. Like Timothy Albarino was going on with Nephlin death squad. And,

and I thought that they were just like being a little bit, kind of playfully mocking in the way that they were just trying to hype this up and create a little bit of tension with the audiences and stuff. But like, not so much. Raven had on like the Indiana Jones hat. And then like, and I think that they were just like, because I haven't watched the whole thing,

but I think that they were a little bit more, they were prodding him like the whole time. And it was a little bit more antagonistic than anything. And since then it's just been like, you know, a water balloon fight on the internet. And I was like, I'm like, oh shit.

At first I thought that they were just using some, some kind of like, I don't know, teasing, hazing comedy to promote a big appearance. Of course. But Timothy Albarina doesn't like them. Why would Timothy blame you for? I don't, because they've been on, maybe because we've just been on the,

we've done so much work together. And also, Timothy's been on your show more than they have. If anybody on that, if anybody, I don't know this yet. But if anybody on a Nephilim Death Squad show made any kind of cat person reference, that's all I was thinking. Did anybody? Oh, yeah, Timothy, no.

He knows that we, Matt's the one. We were the starters of that. You know, the rest of the internet is taken aback by Timothy Albrino's, you know, depth of knowledge and he's on all these big shows now and stuff. This chat route. Oh, you can't read the chat. No, these chat rooms are the only ones in the internet where Timothy Alvarino shows up and everybody's talking about, oh, yeah, no, yeah, no, he's a cat. It's a very, it's a very, oh no, so that's what it is.

If, if the cat meme crossed the boundary, then he would know where it came from. That's what I'm talking about. I see, like maybe he was suspicious if there was any kind of cat meme aspect. But you guys have a great relationship. I would be surprised if he held that against you. But I don't know. I suppose it's...

Yeah, I'm in Iraq and a hard place with... I have a lot of people that I consider friends who don't like other guests and people I consider friends. I would totally enter... So I'm... I've been in a rock, between a rock and a hard place with stuff like that too where you know what?

I don't want to see people fighting with each other. But if I'm not directly involved in any of this shit or if there's not something like, you know, crimes against humanity related, then I, then you guys just got to have it out and I'm not going to stop inviting people on the show. No, so,

but I got to figure it out because, you know, Timothy's usually like, you know, within 36 hours, yeah, let's work out of date. I've been trying,

I've sporadically trying for months. Is that out of the country or anything? No. No, he probably just thinks that I am in somehow in Cahuts with Nephilim Death Squad. That's too bad. That's my,

that's my theory. well i yeah i well i am not a cat i just want matt to know we are indoor cats i'm not a cat either no cats in this room reno mac in the chat room says reno doesn't the timothy doesn't realize we call him cat man out of love it's true yeah yeah it's like it's like it's like big brother kind of little brother kind of stuff i know could you imagine oh wow listen these these are the uh I suppose, I mean, I understand when people get very heated about their position, especially on something like as serious, you know, to some people, obviously, as religion. And if there's that big of a divide, you know, and when you first were explaining it, I thought, yeah, I could see them kind of just playing a little game and it's all for clicks and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, if they're going a little harder on that and then it again, and then you're talking about something that's, that's religious, then I can see people being.

I can't wait to talk to them about that because Tim, Timothy's a, Timothy's a, a Christian. Yeah, that's what I mean. And not only that, but when it comes to Enoch and Nephilim and all these other things, I have to imagine that they actually have a lot of common ground. But Timothy also believes, because you've talked about this, which I always found fascinating, and I don't know what I think about this, but that heaven has locality. Yeah.

Which is always like a, that, like, even hearing you guys have that conversation, I was like, I never even considered that. Well, he's the, I never, ever considered that the war in heaven was ever a kinetic war. A kinetic war, right. Yeah, all those things are range and they're not. So what I'm, if I'm understanding this correctly, they are not of that mind. I don't know. I don't know.

I'm going to ask them. Yeah, that would be a good. They're coming on right after Easter. And I got to, I got to ask them about that. Yeah. That's, you know, and just put it all on the table because it's, I made, that might be the last time I ever spoke to Timothy Alvino. No, I don't think so. Hopefully not.

No, hopefully not too. Yeah. Because, you know, listen, I'm allowed to have friends that people don't like. You are, for the love of God. Take it down a notch, people. Speaking of, you know, we're talking about stories and television and the sun and all that. You know what I realize, did you ever hear about what was the idea, the concept for Forrest Gump 2? No.

I did hear that there was going to be a Forrest Gump 2. I can't remember why it didn't happen. Now or before they were going to make it. But it was before the, all the plans of exploring the idea for a forest gum to was officially let go when 9-11 happened. That's that, that's what I, but you know, I had read this somewhere recently. It was in like one of those, those did, you know, did you know movie carousels? So I'm reading through it.

I'm like, what the hell? I have to go look for it myself. I saw Yahoo articles, everything that it, this is, this is true. Yeah. Okay. So I got a little something over here. Listen to this. these are some of the points that were because you know the whole thing about forest gump is he's just

finds himself in the middle of every consequential moment in human history just into it and out of it and just kind of not a scrapped forest gump sequel written by eric roth turned in on september 10th 2001 whoa was canceled after the 9-11 attacks uh made its berserk tone feel irrelevant uh it would have followed Forrest into the 1990s with his son. His son, they open up the story. You think about how Forrest Gump, the first one, leaves off.

And you're just like, wow, okay, that, I mean, it's a good, it's a good, it's a good film. I love Forrest Gump. Yeah, yeah.

Um, even with the Mandela effects. But dude, you don't how it, it ends off. He has that moment with Jenny. Now he's, he's with Forrest Jr.

Forrest Jr. has AIDS. And Forrest Jr., dies of AIDS. This was in the proposed? Whoa. There is a... She passed it on to him. She passed it on to him.

Oh, that's right. I mean, you could have done this different. You could have done it differently, where she could have gotten it afterwards. You know, a habit she couldn't kick. He was already, but then she got clean and she realized it was too late. But they, they passed AIDS on to Forrest Gump Jr. And they are like, he's buried right next to Jenny. Whoa.

Wait. Wait. All right, I was trying to think. So wouldn't that mean that Forrest had AIDS, but no. No. No. So Forrest Jr., he would be taking care of his son, who dies because he had contracted AIDS. There was a point where he was going to be in the inside of O.J. Simpson's white Bronco.

During the infamous slow-speed chase. Yeah. He was going to be. 94 I think yeah there was going to be a moment where he danced with princess diana uh and then forest would have been involved in or present at the bombing of the alfred p mura building in oklahoma city okay but the first forest cump was like he was at all these historical events and they were like these are all like tragedies they're i know doing tragedies i know wasn't the way the first one it was it was a little bit of everything yeah i know he's in war but he was also

it's just something like where he's as a matter of consequence he just wherever he was but he was an active part in a lot of those other things he was going to find john do number two right well i don't know he was john no number two there is more that he would have there was a native american reservation angle to this where he would have met a native american woman on a bus and later found a calling as a bingo caller on a reservation so he was going to do bingo and then historical interactions would have, it was going to be similar to the first film, it would have continued to influence or be at present

at major 1990s cultural events. And I just got to say, I'm so happy at this shit didn't happen. So why did they, they scrapped it because of 9-11? Yeah. Why? I mean, like, you know,

so you know the whole thing about Spider-Man, the original Spider-Man with Toby McGuire. That was supposed, that had like, I think that's the year the movie came out and there was a whole bunch of movies that had to change their stuff for 9-11 there was webbing in between the twin towers

in the in the advertisements for the original Spider-Man would tell me were I remember that yeah so they had to get rid of all that they had this he was the Spider-Man was swinging between the two towers yeah I remember that that poster being up at New Rock City and New Rochelle I don't think I've ever actually seen it

Oh I saw it and they swapped it out Yeah because they're still in in theaters for a little while. I can I get that. I don't know if it was actually in the movie. It probably was because it delayed the movie a little bit. But I don't understand the forest company. It's not like, I mean, it's not like they, it's not,

they didn't reference 9-11 because it hadn't had, oh no, it was pitched on the 10th. On the 10th. So this is what they say. This is from BuzzFeed. In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Eric Roth, who wrote the screenplay for the Academy Award winning film based on the

1986 Winston Groom novel, said he turned in a draft for the sequel on September 10th, 2001. But on the day of the 9-11 attacks, Roth said that he met up with Tom Hanks, who starred in the title role and Robert Zemeckis, the film's director, to quote, commiserate about life was in America and how tragic it was. And then we looked at each other and said, this movie has no meaning anymore in that sense, especially the next day. You know, look, like, what are we, what are we talking about? And this is like this, this is the tragedy Trump card at the time.

I guess I can see that. Yeah. So it doesn't even matter. Yeah. This is awful. Yeah. It sounds like a depressing movie. That's awful. I just,

geez, Louise. I mean, you would have hoped that there were been other parts that weren't revealed there that would have been the uplifting parts. But man. It's a movie that thank God never was made. Yeah. There you go. Dad. Dad.

You gotta go, Dad. Anthony. Anthony. Aunt, Dad, 8, 845, Dad. Keep going. Matt. Why don't I call you dad? You said you had to leave at 845, you have to go.

Yeah, go on a few minutes. Well, it's over and on. It's like that back to the future scene, you know, remember when Marty McFly. Dad, Daddy, oh. Dad, dat, dat, daddy, oh. Yeah, no, I mean, just, hold on, you know what?

Matt sent me this, and I thought this. Matt sent me this, and I got to play it. So it's his father. he's just hazing his son you know you gotta learn how to it had to be a man so this made Matt laugh

it made me laugh for what age if you want ha loser stupid baby what a fucking loser oh my god oh there I am in the comments why don't you cry about it baby

oh I love that I got to start I got to use that. Stupid baby. We're just going to sit there. Mom definitely was not home when that was being filmed. Matt, is there a new season of,

I think you should leave? I don't think so. So is this was, what season was this in with the horse? Horse, I don't know. I need to see the. Here, take a look of this. This popped up the other day. and I said, what the hell was this? Because I didn't recognize it.

And then I saw it, I think you should leave. Here. Oh, what a perfect day. Sweetie. Yeah, honey? The horse you're on has a huge penis. I'd like to get off now. I'm not having any fun.

And we wasted our money. Sound familiar? It's a beautiful fall day, and you're riding with a loved one. When all of a sudden, you're made to feel less of a man. You can't compete with these horsehawks. Now you don't need to. Here, at Fenton Stables and Horse Ranch, we guarantee our horses have a smaller penis than a human man.

Venton Stables and Horse Ranch, where the horses are hung like you. Is that? I never saw that. I think you should leave with Tim Robinson, season one, episode six? I don't remember that at all. Where the horses are hung like.

Lindsay Thompson says, happy Thursday. Get me in that drawing, please. Oh, you are in. You are absolutely in. And then the last one over there is Gino. Gino says, ask Matt why he screwed up the national anthem at the Mets game today, please. Love you. John Carlo, Matt, and the family, Francis.

You were saying at the Mets game? They brought somebody in, I don't know, somebody from Hamilton or whatever. And I think they screwed up the national anthem. them. It wasn't like a complete catastrophe. They played through it, improvised, got themselves back on track and then ended, I think they missed up, messed up the lyrics. It wasn't like a complete, like, technical breakdown, which those are my favorite. Yeah.

When somebody cracks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you know who I was watching the other day? Matt, you have to remember this. I told Aurora about it because she, you know, I got to bring her to Yankee Stadium. but I was telling her about Yankee Stadium experiences of old. And she was saying how she was going to, they were learning God bless America,

how to sing that in her class. And I told her, I said, you want to hear a fantastic vocalist sing, God bless America that daddy's heard sing this so many times in Yankee Stadium? She goes, sure. So I brought up an old piece of footage from 2009 that I can find out there on YouTube of Dr.

Ronan Tynean, an Irish tenor. And he used to be like, he used to have a residency at Yankee Stadium. He would sing the long version, while the storm clouds gathered out of that one. And he did the whole thing. And it was so awesome. And I've heard him sing that for playoff games and in like high stakes situations, seventh inning, it's starting to rain outside. You're just feeling patriotic and it sounds awesome.

And then of course, he said something. anti-Semitic and he was asked never to come back and now we have to listen to robert merrill oh god he something anti-semitic about the state of israel no no no no he was he was he is the best part apparently ronantine and he lives in a you know a townhouse something like that in new york city at the time maybe he's still there he's in manhattan and someone was being shown a open apartment next to his and um And, you know, I don't know. It's like something like, hey, these might be, you know, your new, something along the lines of this might be your new neighbors or something like that.

And he ended up saying some kind of a comment like, well, as long as they're not Jewish. And that was it. Walk out, walk out. And he went out, he said, listen, I am not anti-Semitic. I get Jewish members of my band. We just can't have a sense of humor about anything. And I'm telling you, Yankee Stadium has not felt the same. They haven't won since 2009.

They haven't won since 2009. Well, screw you, Yankees. I'll tell you that much. That's what happens. Well, you know, watch it. Sorry. You're saying it for different reasons. I am.

Fucking Bean Town bastard over there. Anyway, so that's just, uh, you get what you deserve. That's what you deserve. You kicked him out. Oh, trust me. Are you kidding? Boston? The Red Sox would do the exact same thing.

if there was some way to be, you know, the Yankees have tampons in their men's bathrooms. I heard about this. Is this happening for real? I heard, I heard Craig Carton put it out there. Other than that, I had not heard anything otherwise.

What I had read was that there was going to be tampons in Yankee Stadium women's bathrooms. But listen, I'll report back. Yeah, please. Because I'm going to go to at least one game just because I want to bring Aurora to a night game on a beautiful night.

I'm hoping I can get all, everybody together to go together. I'll definitely have to take a bathroom break. If I see a tampon there. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Listen, if this was New York, real New York, or the last of real New York from the 1990s, those tampons would be on the field every night.

Oh, yeah. Every night. Mercilessly until they remove them. And they'd be waiting for a bad call from an umpire, whatever the hell it was. Uh-huh. And they'd be dipped in the ketchup on the hot dog. something. Just to give us some weight.

Absolutely. You got to know where that thing's going. If this was real New York. Yeah. No, that doesn't, that don't make no sense right there. Yeah. Anyway,

Awaken Boomer. Says, Hi, Frank Matt and Jane. Put me in for that silver. Thank you so much, Brady. It's good to have you out there. And J-A-S-N-H is now a monthly supporter on Rumble.

Drew Bark, says if we were to provide nuclear power for anyone, why would it be via a thorium molten salt reactor? I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means.

in our politics and make everything about business. Look at what has been nuked. Abortions, immigration, climate change, and supporting the police. What is being worked on? Jihad, elections, health care, money and food lots of things have to be had to be positive about we can be worried if we lose the midterms yeah that's i mean definitely and i think that's why my concern is generally that i don't

have an opinion on the war necessarily you know hard and fast because i don't have all the information i worry about the political ramifications and and specifically because of the last two years after the midterms if they go south yeah and from what rich is saying it's a guarantee they're going to go south and that's why i'm just like look i don't do what he does but He's been damn accurate for a long time. So that's why I'm worried. I hope he's wrong. I hope he's wrong too.

And he hopes he's wrong, I think. Yeah. But we got, we got time. Let's see. Let's see what's happening here. Let me see. Do drop. Zoso wants that silver.
