Sawyer has already ruled me ineligible, so you don't have to worry about me stealing your box. Yeah, you tried throwing in raffle tickets last time. I have a few aliases out there. I had to throw those down the can.

Throw those out. Well, damn it. it takes a lot of bacon. Winters here. Got to keep my winter coat on. I know. We're supposed to get a big storm. Everybody, I got the call.

I had to run to the grocery store and get that six gallon of milk and a loaf of bread, you know. I got my toilet paper because I just didn't want a COVID repeat. That's good. You're hooked up. I could use my hand. I've done it before, but I figured. I already smell like hog shit enough. I don't think people want to.

We don't want to mix the feces. So, no, that's not a good idea. No. Why'd you have to take it there? I don't know. I've just kind of felt like it. Jeez. It's a family.

This is a family deal here. I'm just kidding. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I don't wipe my ass with my hand. Okay, well, that's good. I hope most people didn't think you did, but yeah. Yeah, anyway, so this is the calm before the snow, or before the storm. Snow's supposed to start here later tonight and everybody's freaking out. And I don't know, I'm, I'm somewhat unconvinced because it's like, this weather's

just been you can't ever if the snow is anything like the rain we couldn't buy rain i got you can't trust the weatherman anymore i don't know it never it never pans out the way they think it is like i felt like when i was a kid the weatherman was right on the money every time but now nowadays it's like i don't know these storms they just they aren't they're not cracked up to what they say if they're going to be must be climate change yep al gore hit it right on the head huh okay well i have i have i have

hot off the press, the market update, Curtis of your friends at Katz Green in Washington, Iowa. Not a great day. It hasn't been a great couple of weeks, really, for grains to start in the last week of the year and the first week of the new year. Not that great. So corn 454, locally 457. beans 1239 burlington 1235 and across the river in quincy 1274 march wheat's 596 bean mills closed at $368 a ton hogs still trash $70 and 50 cents that's like a broken record cattle 170

and feeder cattle $223 that's actually about the lowest cattle bit I've seen in quite a while. It's worked down a little bit. Still very high, though. Crude oil for February, $71. So OPEC came out, last episode that we did a market update, OPEC came out, and they said they were going to cut production by a million barrels. And I think they thought that the market was going to really react with everything going on over there in the Suez Canal and around the world. And oil didn't really move much. And so then this week, Saudi Arabia came out and they said they're going to lower the price oil because they think demand is hurting. So they're going to try, they're going to go the other way. So oil last time I looked was $71. Bitcoin, the spring continues, $47,000. Tesla, $240,

gold, $2,033, silver, $21. What did Bitcoin get to at its peak? Was it like 60, or did it get in the 70s. That is a great question. I thought it was like 68, 65. Yeah, it was right up there. I don't know if it got into the 70s, maybe low 70s, but do you think it can get to 100? You think this spring will take it to 100, okay?

I don't know whether it'll get there. It'll set a new high. I think it'll go to a new high. Whether it breaks 100, I don't know. But you've got a lot of, you got a lot of big money now moving into it. and so it's funny we talked about this a long time ago when we were talking a lot on bitcoin but pretty much everybody from black rock um to you bank of america wells fargo who all your all your big banks your big investment houses jamie diamond jami diamond stood up gave a speech talked about

how stupid bitcoin was and it was a joke and it was never going to amount to anything guess what they're all buying they all have it on their balance sheets they're all buying um so now you've got credibility where before they were working against it now then it's in her best interest to make it work so i think it's gonna go up i think it's funny that you know when the economy was all great you know everybody was buying like it was it was thriving it was going and then she kind of shit hit the fan and that's where i think a lot of people sold or a lot of people got out of it because they got uncertain and they wanted it in cash or they wanted it in an asset that's real or, you know, tangible to have in your hand or you can see it, whatever. But it's funny.

We're still not out of the shit yet. If anything, we're, you know, we're kind of in the shit and it's starting to trickle back up again. So it's maybe people are starting to realize they're going, hmm, maybe that, you know, because we, if you know Bitcoin, it's like you, you think that, you know that it's, it can't be printed. They can't inflate it, right? And like if you're sold on Bitcoin and you've been an advocate of Bitcoin, you know that like it's good when the economy is good and it's also good when the economy's bad.

It's a hedge against the establishment, whatever, right? But I think more people are waking up to that idea of like, hey, I maybe don't want all my money and cash, right? Even when it's in shitty times with uncertainty. Maybe I want it in something that the government can't control. I don't know, but I think it's just, it's weird that a lot of people sold when times got shitty, but people are starting to buy back again when times are still shitty. Yeah. You think that they would start buying again when things got better, but.

Well, that was one of the things that I think added more to Bitcoin's decline was that when everybody was, and the other thing you got to remember is we had all that COVID money. people had all that COVID money and they were putting I mean you saw all your all your stimmies of hell I did I put my stemmies and Bitcoin and stock and stuff so that you had that effect but everybody talked about how when times when when when times go bad and the dollar loses value and stocks lose their value that Bitcoin is a store of value like a lot of people want to call it digital gold but when things did go that way the a lot of the people people that bought into that quickly chickened out and they dumped Bitcoin. The idea, a lot of people

had the idea that crypto was going to run counter to typical investments. Like when stocks were bad, when housing was bad, when everything else was going bad, they thought Bitcoin was the thing that people were going to go to. And I mean, and it makes sense that you would think that because they can't print more of it. It's finite amount. And so the value should be, you can't inflate it. Government can't control it. But it's exactly what you said. People got scared. And instead of being the last thing they dumped, a lot of people that had money in stocks, money in real estate, money in Bitcoin, crypto, what's the first thing they dumped? Crypto. So it's going to be interested to see this time, which I think you're already seeing it, is you have more institutional investors

that are buying it. So it could run more because you just have bigger money coming behind it. And I think that why people sold, I mean, I don't blame people for selling it. It's new, you know, it's new, right? It doesn't have the track record that it's always going to come back. I mean, it's done it before, but how it hasn't had like a, it's, not the S&P that's had, you know, however many years. Yeah. A lot of, a lot of years of track record on it. And the other thing, you can make the argument, the government did everything they could

to make it, make people less sure about it because you had the whole, you had all the crypto exchanges that were. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What was Sam? What was that guy's name? They got San Brinkman. Yeah.

fruit free yeah what was his what was his platform uh i can't remember see that's how fast fraud yeah he got he got he kind of put it all in a bad light yeah and they dropped a bunch of charges against him you know he's he's gonna end up wondering out of that because he gave a shitload of money to about every politician out there yeah so i think they're just going to let that go and keep dragging it out and one of these days you're going to realize that he probably doesn't serve hardly any time and he just took a whole shitload of people's money but um the feds were all over a lot of these crypto exchanges. So there was all this uncertainty,

and that just added to people dumping it. And there's a lot of guys out there that pump these crypto coins. Oh. And I think Bitcoin's kind of, I think it's like the mature class of crypto. You know, like there's a few coins or whatever you want to say that are mature versus a lot of the other shit. But there's still people that are in everything that. want to pump shit up and then sell at the high and whatever make their make their quick buck but anyway that was a little longer than i thought we'd go on bitcoin but i just i thought it i think it's

interesting you know it's it's coming back up and i think that there's it's one of those things that's new that people are still trying to figure out what their opinion is on it i know there's going to be people that no matter what hate digital currency because they're afraid the government will ultimately control every element of your life, which that's a fair point. I totally see where you're coming from there. But I don't know if a government can control Bitcoin, but if they were to take the dollar and make that digital, that's where I think you get you, you get worried about control and stuff like that. But if you are worried about, if you're worried about the government controlling the currency, the anti-digital U.S. dollar is Bitcoin. Because,

every digital currency is totally controlled by the government. We did a whole thing about this, how they could control. Like, if you move to a digital currency, digital dollar, you will never see a stimulus deal like what happened during COVID. Because during COVID, they were just throwing money at anybody. Everybody got a check. If you go to a digital currency, the government, they can fine tune that to, oh, you, you have to, you, you have to, you, you, you have to, you, have this level income, oh, you don't get any. Or, oh, you're this skin color. Oh, yeah, or you're not this skin color, yeah. And then you can, they can tune at what you can buy it on. I mean, just look at the Chinese. If you go down a rabbit hole, see how the Chinese control

their population. Digital currency is a really good way to do that. So if you're worried about that, Bitcoin is where you want to move if the world is looking to move to a digital exchange of value, not digital currency, not a digital dollar. Anyway, that's my snarky opinion. Yeah. Lots of insanity. All right. Well, we're going on to the topics here.

We're going to get rolling. And this first topic, it's kind of, there's going to be a lot thrown in here. There's a lot of sub-topics in this first one. But I guess we're going to call this first topic the rebellion against the woke mind virus that's happening across the United States. But across the world, I feel like there's a lot of people that are sick and tired of the shit. And so, yeah, that was my attempt to whirl you up and let you go. We might not even get this. This could end up being just the one topic, hot topic,

because we have really three pots, but this one, holy cow. I mean, it's, so here a couple weeks ago, or a week ago, I listened to a podcast, and a guy was talking about the homeless problem, the drug problem in California. and his while talking about that he got going about how empathy empathy has now morphed out there into this monster of all these woke people because there is no there is no pushback there's no balance of government the government both in the cities and the state of california are 100,

bought and paid for liberal. And it's really only a, it's really only, uh, the difference between, I don't know, standard liberals and totally off the reservation far lefters. And what has happened is it's become a race. He said it's become like a race of empathy. So it wasn't enough. Like if you're for letting people sleep on the streets, well, then I'm for letting people sleep on the streets and get paid for it. And you're for free drug rehab. Well, there's, you should be able to just be you, man. We don't need, we don't need that. You should, we should just be able to make sure that you're safe while you're partaking of drugs. And, you know, there was a push. There's a lot of, there's a lot of places where they have shelters and to stay in the shelter, you have to get

a negative drug test. Well, California said, screw that, because that's, you're, you're discriminating. And it's not that person's fault. That person should be able to be in there. And it's just like this race to the bottom. And along with it, part of the problem, and I don't know if it's a problem or part of what goes hand in hand with that is it's this idea that's being taught throughout our schools, throughout academia, that there are oppressed and there are oppressors. there are victims and if you're a victim there is no you can never redeem yourself there's no hero of the story there is nobody that falls and then you struggle you learn you redeem yourself and you become the victor you become the hero of the story it is you are oppressed you are a victim

and the best that you can hope for is to get some money, to get some care, to get some comfort, get somebody else to pay for your pain so that at least you can be comfortable while wallowing in your own self-pity. And that goes hand in hand with this movement of just like radical empathy, that, you know, we shouldn't try to rehabilitate anybody. we shouldn't try to inspire people to want better. All we can do is try to comfort them and enable whatever they're fighting, just enable and maybe comfort them along the way.

And I thought about that. That really, like, I guess you could say that really spoke to me because you talk about anti-American, you wonder why there's people that hate this country. Well, they hate it because they're being taught to hate it. They've bought into this idea that it's too hard. Like you've seen these TikToks of these millennials out there and these gen. I don't know, what are we on now?

Z, Gen Zsies or whatever. That, you know, they're in tears because they work an eight-hour day or they have a shift and they, you know, they can't make enough money and it's terrible. and it's the idea that you should not have to struggle and that you, it's just too hard. Well, it's, you're living in the easiest time the world has ever seen. And if, if this is too hard, you wait and see what's coming. Oh, I. So it's, it's this idea, not, we're not taught, we are not taught today, American exceptionalism.

the rest of the world, the rest of the world still looks here. There's a guy that hauls your dry ice that's an immigrant. And he's the most patriotic son of a bitch that I've ever seen. Because he's come from somewhere that he knows what hard is. He's come from Russia. Yeah. He knows what hard is. And he knows there's nowhere else in the world and he's told you the same.

There's nowhere else in the world that has as much opportunity here if you just work hard. and he is a hard, he's a hustling son of a bitch. Yep. Worked his way up. We aren't, our kids are not taught that. You are not taught that today. American exceptionalism, that is a dirty, that is, we are colonialists, you, massageness, bigots.

Founded on white supremacy. White supremacist. It's just, it's just, it's, it's, yeah, all that stuff. Well, what they're really teaching is that, you should not even strive. Don't strive to make yourself better. Do not strive to hold a job, to save money, to own your own business, to have a family, to have a family that stays intact. Yeah. No, you are a victim. And somebody has wronged you somehow. and you need to be somehow cared for.

And you just see it, all of this, all of this wokeness and all of this crap, when you strip it all away, it just, it just like hit me that that's really all it comes down to is it's just this, it's this black and white point of view difference that you either look at the world and you look at it as there is opportunity. Yeah, this is my playground and I can make the most of it and make my life anything I want it to be. And I am not perfect and I've got problems and I've got this and I've got to fix this. I've got to make it better. But I can. I can. But they don't want you to ever get to that thought of I can. It's no, you can't. And you need us. You need whoever. You need fill in the blank to take care of you.

to coddle you, to somehow try to make you whole, and it's somebody else's fault, and they should pay for it. It's not you. Yeah, I think that was, that was, fuck, we had a fucking bomb button, that'd be, I would have hit the bomb on that, because that was good. No, I agree with you. And I think it's a multitude of what you just said,

but also, like, just as society has moved and evolved, like we unintentionally made us as people weaker too. because I feel like, yes, that, they're teaching that, but also the world evolved and it's everything's so much easier. The lack of perspective of how what is actually hard is no longer available. Right. The only reason I know what is actually hard is because, like, my grandpa fought in World War II. I saw you, you know, you see an example of it, right?

You hear examples in your family and you hear people and see the struggle. and see that. And if you're never exposed to that and all you're exposed to is what your teacher tells you or what the establishment tells you or what the government tells you or what the big media wants to tell you, yeah, it's hard to have, it's hard to have a hope mindset of exceptional, exceptionalism. So I think it's just, it's, it's hard because we don't, we don't know. You can't exposed kids to hard like kids were exposed to it every day like they used to be you know right like you knew what hard was because you lived it every kid had a job on the farm and was out here and they were working their asses off and they went through real shit and like done some real hard stuff

and like that just isn't we're not and there the other thing is we're not pushing kids to to to seek that anymore right i mean you're seeing that pushback a little bit. You know, I, you know, you have people out there like Andy Fursela as a perfect example, 75 hard, develop this mindset program that helps people seek hard. Seek mental toughness. Get, do shit that's hard every day to reframe your mind. And it gives you the confidence to know what you can achieve yourself. And like, that's rewiring people's brains. Like, that's a movement that is happening. And more. more young people are moving to it because on the other side of that is when you realize that it's

all on your shoulders yes that's that is stressful but that's also very powerful when you know i can do whatever the fuck i put my mind to if i just work at it every day that's powerful yeah it's really powerful and so i think when people start to go down that path of pursuing hard shit and they get some sort of benefit from doing what's hard, they realize, damn, like, that's it right there. That's what I need to go after more often because this seek and comfortable and sitting on your phone and fucking watching porn and fucking having your dopamine receptors blow up and just be absolutely maxed out every day, eating shitty food. I mean, you just, you name it. It doesn't, it doesn't serve you. You don't feel good as a, even as a human being.

by doing that. We're all guilty of doing that, where you have a day where you don't do shit. And then how do you feel? You feel like, holy fuck, I don't, you just don't even feel good. And you put together a string of that. You put together months of that.

And everybody's telling you, usually you just stay in that. Yeah. And so as I thought about this, so I listened to this podcast and then family friends of ours that we've known, forever. I mean, they're kind of like extended family of ours. When we, when our kids were young, we would go to a hotel around New Year's, and, you know, we'd stay and we had poolside rooms,

and the kids play in the pool, and we play cards and all that. We haven't done that for years. Our kids are all grown, but they decided they were going to do it with their extended family, and they invited us to go, and we went, we stayed in a hotel, and it was a great time. And anyway, the next morning, I woke up, and we were kind of waiting for everybody to get going because we're going to all have breakfast together down in the, you know, lobby area, whatever, the hall there. And I haven't watched morning network television in years. I'm sure it's been years. And Good Morning America was on. And I sat there and I watched them and they were going through the news the day. And of course they were talking about Trump, which they all cannot,

I mean, you talk about for a group of people that hate Donald Trump, their livelihood depends on talking about Donald Trump because it's the only thing that gets their base riled up. But, I mean, I just had this thought of like, I felt so sorry for the hosts of that show because it was the most, like, every word that case, every phrase, every phrase, every word that came out of their mouth, you could just sense everything's a script. Like when we sit down at the top. It's fucking theater now. It is 100% theater.

That's what it is. And they're just spooning this shit out. And I mean, regardless, obviously I don't agree with their shit what they're pushing, but anybody that has had any time that just has normal conversations with other people

to sit there, and watch what they're spooning out. You're just like, what? Who in the fuck believes this? Well, it's, like, even I can see it, but I'm sure you can see it more than I can because you've had more experience watching the news than I have. But I remember as a kid, it was not that way.

It was not theater. When you watch that shit today, it is like they're actors. Oh. They are like, saying shit, like, what was the guy that said when Vivek did his whole debate stage thing and was polarizing and the black news anchor on CNN and he said he was a demagogue or whatever. Yeah.

He's a modern demagogue and the scary part about him is he's going to outlive Donald Trump by 20 years and I was literally shaking. Yeah. With fear or anger or whatever. Well, it's like, dude. that I'm literally shake I was literally shaking so all of who would ever like you are so out of touch or you're just doing it for what they want you to do it for the best example of this you showed me the best example and I don't know if we can put this in or whether or not just go look for it yourself there is a clip of an MSNBC anchor who has this guy on his show that wrote a book he was a capital he was a capital cop and I'm not so sure it's not the guy that's running

he's running for like a representative from I think he is actually I think that's the guy so of course they had him on to promote his book because he's going to end up running for political office and if he's on MSNBC you know he's completely bought and paid for by somebody

that's why he's there however this anchor was introducing him and he was talking about my God the insurrection yeah we'll dub it in. We're going to tub it in because you have to watch it. I'm going to try to get through this. Thank you for what you did three years ago today. Please tell me your thoughts on this third anniversary.

Who in their right mind is watching this guy and thinking that he is sincere at all? He is a, he is literally, when you say it's theater. It is theater. That was that was thousand percent theater. Those were fake. years because here's the deal we all know the new videos have came out from january six they the big media machine wants to paint january six as like it was fucking nine 11 part two they want to make it this historical event that happened on american soil that's going to be written in the history books for years to come you know what's going to be actually written about that fucking event that the U.S. government and big media hyped it up to be a bigger deal than what it actually was,

and it was a bunch of fucking bullshit is what it comes down to. And most common sense people that go and look at the video footage of what has actually came out over the last couple months, you can see guards letting people in, shooting them with rubber bullets to get them riled up. I'm not saying everybody that was there had great intentions, but they're not. this whole idea that it was like this planned insurrection that fucking fired them up and they wanted to go storm the Capitol and like it was it was not an attempt to overthrow the government. God, it was not. And this idea that they're still pushing it just even makes them look even fucking dumber. And for him to sit there and thank you, he was literally thanking him about

bawling his eyes out. And like, it was like he was talking to a firefighter from fucking 9-11. it's not even on the same playing field dude you're not it's don't even act like it is because it's not and everybody knows it's not everybody watching knows you're full of shit and when you figure out that that guy that he was talking to he's there to get a pay day yeah he wrote this book and i'm pretty sure he you got a fact check me on that i think he's the same guy that he's running for political office so he's going to try to parlay this into a political career but anyway all of these all of this big pot of yuck to kind of lead us to there are some things that happened this week this last week that at a bigger level i think people across this country and in different different roles different

industries are starting to wake up and go this is bullshit and the one i want to start with is this whole deal over the president of Harvard. So, you know, these three Ivy League school presidents, they went before Congress to testify about anti-Semitic protests and statements that people made and whether that was hate speech or not. And basically, they wouldn't answer the question. It's a pretty easy question. Yeah, what was it?

They just asked the president of Harvard, like literally in this clip you can watch, it's like 20 times. Is that hate speech? Do you classify that as hate speech? And she would not answer it. She would not say it was or wasn't. She would just dance around the question. So when it was all said and done, people were pissed. People were pissed.

And there started to be a lot of backlash against the schools. and one of the people that were seriously pissed about it was Bill Ackman. And I think he owns, runs Pershing Square. And he's also a big donor. And he donated a lot of money to one of these schools. And he had already pulled some of his donation back and said, if you don't clean this shit up, I'm not going to give you any more money. Well, he wrote a letter to the board.

In fact, he wrote three letters, and they never replied to him. And he wouldn't let it go. And he was making a lot of comments on Twitter. He was writing op-ed pieces. Well, the momentum grew and grew and grew, and they finally, they fired. They fired the president of Harvard. But they didn't fire for what she said. they fired her because of plagiarism.

Because out of the seven pieces of work that she had written that was part of her dissertation, I don't know what you call it, I'm not, I'm not much of a college person, but of the works that she had written, they found how are many times where she didn't quote her sources and she basically plagiarized somebody's work. people are like, well, it doesn't matter. They got her out of there. Only they didn't get her out of there. They just took her back and made her a teacher, but they're still paying her president's salary. Well, Bill Ackman was like bullshit, and he, he shined a light on that, and he kind of went after her. So then, because this is how elitists operate, conveniently,

business insider, who is his shit publication. And the only reason I know that is because they spend an awful lot of time going after Elon Musk. The number of stories that Business Insider has put out about Tesla, SpaceX, NeuroLick, Elon Musk. I mean, it's insane. They're kind of like the Democrats with Trump. I mean, they love bagging on Elon Musk and Tesla. So they come out and they write this hit piece about Bill's wife. And Bill's wife had she, I want to say she went to MIT. I also want to say she taught at MIT. And she left not long after she married him. And she owns a business of her own, very smart. She holds some patents. She has a lot of intellectual property. She's written a lot of lot of stuff. And they went after her claiming that there were 28 instances that they found that

she plagiarized something. Well, Bill's playing a little bit like Elon in the fact that he's not somebody you want to trifle with. So he came out here a couple days ago and he is going to spend a huge amount of money with a third party and they're going to go through all of the written works of all of the presidents and all of the board members

of all the Ivy League schools and they're going to release it all to the public and show everybody what plagiarism is and they're going to let them see how many of these people in academia have been just promoted from within and the only people that check on the shit that they say are their peers and they're all

in the same boat, they're all in the same club and they all think the same way. So they all get a pass. They can pretty much do whatever they want. And I just thought that was very refreshing for somebody to just push back and say, no, we're not going to take this shit. And that's the first example I'll give you. You can give the second. Yeah. Second example was, what's happened in the sports world kind of so erin rogers went on pat mackafee's show and pack mackoffey originally created his own show on youtube and had a podcast and live streamed all that but then ESPN signed to a huge million dollar contract i mean shit he makes more money now than he ever did being a punter in the NFL and he it's very well deserved if you ever watch college game day or if you

ever watch pat maccavy show pat maccify is a fucking man he is a g i love watching him talk about football. It is hilarious and they do a great job. And he has honestly brought life back to ESPN. I mean, he really has. ESPNs, I don't know. I haven't looked at their ratings, but just talking with people in my circle who watch sports, more people are watching ESPN because of Pat McAfee. And so Aaron Rogers went on his show and Aaron Rogers is a regular guest on his show, especially during this season where he had his Achilles injury and all that. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, And Aaron Rogers is Aaron Rogers. You know, I used to not love Aaron Rogers because he beat up on my cowboys and beat him too many times.

But I have gained new respect for Aaron Rogers for not taking a stand for shit that he wants to take stand for. I respect that. And so he came on the show and I don't know, somehow they got talk. They were talking about Epstein's list. And Aaron Rogers threw out a comment about Jimmy Kimmel and how when Jimmy Kimmel, because I'm pretty sure Jimmy Kimmel came after Aaron Rogers for the whole vaccination. thing. Yes, he did. And so Aaron Rogers probably don't like Jimmy Kimmel that much. And he's probably, you know, holds that to his heart a little bit. So Aaron Rogers made a comment like,

I'm going to pop open a champagne bottle when that comes out and Jimmy Kimmel's on the list. And that was on, that was live on ESPN. So like, Pat McAfee doesn't just have his own platform anymore. He is on ESPN, right? And so, and I think they still do clips on YouTube, but for Pat McAfee, but it's hosted on ESPN. And so, the CEO or president of ESPN is pissed, pissed about it, and he's come out and said that he's, they're questioning whether they even need Pat McAfee on the show. And they're, they're really pondering the idea if they just want to get rid of Pat McAfee. But then a couple days ago, Pat McAfee, mid-show on ESPN, just calls out his boss, like on on Pat McAfee show, just calls him out. Norby Williamson.

Norby Williamson is the CEO or president ESPN, whatever. Just calls them out mid-show. And like, you look at the other analysts' faces and they're just kind of like, oh, shit. It's going down. Yep. And the great, and that's just another example of Pat McAfee saying, fuck you.

Like, I am ESPN. Like, Pat McAfee knows his value. Pat McAfee knows his worth. And I think a lot of people, that have watched football this year know his worth two. And I'll be the first to say it. If Pat McAfee, if they want to get rid of Pac-McChy, Pat McAfee's going to still thrive,

and I'll go support Pac-McChy before I'll support ESPN, because ESPN is a train wreck, and it has been a train wreck, and he has really brought life back into it because he's so refreshing to see somebody be 100% authentic that can throw out a couple F-bombs on the show and, like, just talk about sports like we think about it at home, right? I mean, that's what's so awesome about him. He brings life to it.

It's not this agenda, you know, look at the teleprompter, look at your sheet, go straight off your notes. He's creative, he's funny, he's authentic, authentic. He might be, let's, for those of you that don't watch the show, I would say that Pat McAfee's show is, well, it's the barn talk of sports. It is, it kind of is. They're, there, well, he, I mean, I'll give him a mad credit. They're on a dude, they kill it. I love their show. I love their show. But I just, it's another example of people saying, you know what? Screw these, screw the establishment. Screw the established name. ESPN, that guy, he's arrogant enough, arrogant enough to go, yeah, we might not even need Pat McAfee. Why even, why even have him? We don't need those kind of comments on our show. And Pat's like, okay,

call a spade a spade. You're going to can me or what? Because I can, I can, I can. I can, go do my own thing. I don't need you ESPN. And we'll see what happens. Nothing's come out about whether they're going to get rid of them officially or not. But just was refreshing to see Pat McAfee go, because he knows, he knows the people watching at home are going wherever he goes. Fucking resonate with that. They value that. They really stand with Pat. So I, and I do too, I think it's awesome. ESPN needs Pat McAfee way more than Pat needs ESPN. Yeah. And, what this all came about is this Norby Williamson supposedly he supposedly rating rating numbers got leaked before they were officially released and the rating numbers that got

released were false and they were way lower for viewership than what the actuals were and it got trace back to Norby Williamson because he, and he is the one that hired Pat McAfee, was his decision to bring that show, but he doesn't like his politics. And now the idea is he's trying to sabotage the show. And the thing is he wasn't even care. I don't think, I think what it's going to come down to is he wasn't even careful about it because he's an arrogant. It's the arrogance of media. And what I love about this example is, it is just, it is the same thing that you're seeing with Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan has more viewership than your MSNBCs, your CNNs. People watch that. They consume that. And Pat McAfee, he, ESPN without him, they were losing money huge. In fact, Disney was going to spend them off in something. them. I mean, Disney's its own dumpster fire, but they were going to spend that off and sell it at one point because just to generate cash. But if you take him out of it, he will, just like you said, he will thrive. If you take him out of it, ESPN will be, they'll perish. And what they'll do is they'll try to

recreate something that kind of looks like what Pat has. But what they don't realize is the value of the individual. And you can't recreate that. In entertainment, it used to be, you know, you could trade the people. You could trade the stars. They come and go. But now the stars have the opportunity to create their own platform.

And they can go where they damn well please. And so you could old time, you could just get rid of an anchor and no one's ever going to hear of them again. Like, oh, whatever. You can't do that shit anymore. Because they, we're going to follow Pat McAfee. We're going to go where

Pat McAfee is. That's the reality of it. And, you know, there's other people. If ESPN doesn't see the value in Pat McAfee, there's other networks that do. And just what he brought to college game day this year for college football, I'm sure, because I have never seen college game day be more electric than what it was this year. And I'm sure everybody's going to be chomping at the bit to try to bring that back and want that again. And I just, yeah. Yeah, so if you're in a couple weeks, if you're, you know, you see a blurb on some, on, on Twitter, or you happen to see a newspaper, you hear about it, and you hear some guy named Norby Williamson that's out, that's why he's out.

Mm-hmm. Because he thought that he thought that he was bigger than the talent and he was not. But anyway, you know, all of this to say that there is such a, there is just like such a division in this country between people that, like see the difference like see the night and day black and white difference between all of this

crap this gruel that is served up by people that are nothing but actors and there's no authenticity to it and you can once you have woke up and you have been exposed to the reality

of everybody's trying to peddle you something and you better know where the money's coming from before you make your decision as to whether that's real or not. Once you wake up to that, when you look at this media, this old media and these news shows and the people that are babbling on them, like it's comical. It's practically comical. And I think that the group, the size, the amount of people that are waking up to that, it's, there's no going back. And you're going to see the shit you're going to see this year in 24 of this, of these.

Oh, it's going to be. Them trying to hold on. The shit that's going to get thrown out there. It's going to be hilarious. It's going to be insane. But it isn't going to matter because I do. I truly believe the ship is sailed and there's no going back. And what you saw with Bill Ackman, what you're seeing on with Pat Macon,

what you're seeing with Disney. Joe Rogan, Bud Light. Yeah. All that stuff. There's no going back. And I am, I'm tired of it. People are tired of it. That is the reality.

And it's awesome. I just was thinking about it when we were talking when we first initially started on that topic. And we are at 50 minutes. So that one was a big ass topic. Yes. We told you there was a lot of sub-topics in there. But we got to where we wanted to go.

I just think it's a mix of what you were talking about. Demote exceptionalism in America. Don't promote that. Promote what you were saying. Victim mentality. Our own human evolution and just evolving, society evolving around us has made us all weaker and given us lack of perspective. And then also the intentional pursuit of destroying our more, our more, and the fabric of like the family unit of just and the people that incentivizing destructive behavior yeah i mean just destroying the fabric of what makes a family a family and just destroying facts and shit that we've in stuff that we live and just trying to totally break it all apart i feel like it's just all that shit that's just making it so chaotic and i mean what we said here

where like it's once you see the black and white right it's just there's this huge divide between people but that's all done on purpose that's it's all been done for a reason but it's all been done it's all been done behind closed doors and it's been done in a way that i don't think people realized until they there was a tipping point there was a tipping point where they were just giving you these little slivers of this shit and you you didn't really it it didn't really it it didn't really makes sense. But now they, they overplayed their hand. What it comes down to is the left, the media, the government. They've overplayed their hand to the point that it's so damn obvious that a majority of Americans are just waking up and going, are you, this is complete bullshit.

And I'm, I'm excited for it. I am too. I think, I love it. We're going to get her shit together. I love it. And I feel like my, I feel like my generation are younger. I know there's a lot of ideology, but like, there's a lot of ideology to get to promoted and push in universities and schools and shit like that, right? But I just feel like there's almost, there's almost like a back, like we're people. Pushback. There's a pushback. If when kids learn what we're talking about, they get it. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, we get that. Your generation is a group that they got sold, they got sold the bill of goods that you've got to go to college and you got to get this. And if you're there, you might as well get a master's. And that's the only way you're going to be successful. And then they graduate and they go out in the world and they get a job and they realize that job is not going to pay that student debt. And they see somebody that's a fucking plumber. And they're in better shape than they are. I mean, they're seeing, your generation. is seeing that what they've been sold is bullshit.

Yeah, and I think we've grown up. We've grown up with just everything around us. We have to question and dig a little deeper on. And there's, you know, there's just a lot of that. So I just, I feel like with young people, yes, there's a lot of young people that are totally bought what the media tells them. But I think there's also a huge majority of young people that are like me too, they're like, we're free thinkers.

We're going to think for ourselves. we're going to look past the headline, and we're going to rebel against what you're telling us a little bit. Hey, thanks for sticking with us. We appreciate every single one of you guys. Let's keep this ball rolling. Leave a review on Spotify or Apple. Follow us on YouTube. Pay the fee. Share it out with who you know. It all helps, guys. We appreciate every single one of you. We love you. Now, let's get back to the podcast. Okay, let's get, let's go through. Let's go fast on these next two. Let's go through Epstein as quick. because we can, and then I really want to talk about the whole European farm thing. Okay.

Well, all I'll say is, as you all know, the Epstein list, quote-unquote, list came out, and it really wasn't what everybody thought it was going to be. You know, they were making it seem like all the big names, all these big-time names were going to come out and be on the list. But the list that they provided didn't really, I mean, there was a little bit of that, but not a lot. and I think... Well, it's not attached to what any of those people really on the list. Yeah, I mean, the thing about it is,

people are looking at that list and they're saying that ain't really the list is what it comes down to. What I gather looking around of what people are chatting about and writing about and posting about, people aren't buying that that's the list that they want to... That's really the list. They're just giving us some bullshit list to shut us up and to give the people what they wanted.

because they knew we want it. They knew we were going to want something. We want accountability for what has happened there. And we all know that some shady fucking shit has happened there. But I still don't think the list is still out. Jeffrey Epstein definitely did not kill himself. And his wife, Jeline Maxwell, she's in prison. And yet none of these people that were on the client list,

it's funny, he's quote unquote, you know, he's dead. she's in prison or in jail whatever and none of the clients have been released officially like 100% know for a fact that they did some crazy shit like that's nobody I mean there's no accountability on that client list but isn't that funny how that is

it's like yeah those two are the evil ones but so we're yeah but everybody on that list everybody who participated were on that list yet those two die one of them died and one of the other ones in prison but none of the other ones are accountable. Sh shady.

Well, the fact that she's still alive tells you that I think she still has a hand to play. Because if she didn't, I think she'd be dead. And supposedly, I just saw something today, and this is not official, this is not, I don't know. And I don't know when you guys hear this, if more of this will come out. But I saw that somebody said that there was video footage of Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Russell Brunson, billionaire, or not Russell Brunson, Richard Branson. Richard Branson. Russell Brunson sort of click funnels.

Russell, I'm sorry, I did not mean to bring you into this. Richard Branson, Virgin Mobile, Virgin, whatever. They have video footage of them fucking having sex, underage women on camera. And that, if you watch the documentary or dig into it, a lot of people think that Jeffrey Epstein, how he became so wealthy and so influential as far as how many people, the people that he got connected with, how did he do it? Well, a lot of people think that he had these mansions

and he put security cameras everywhere, hidden cameras everywhere, and he got dirt on all of them. He got, he was able to blackmail the fuck out of people, and that's how he rose to power. And that, I don't know about you. He had a whole ass island. He had a few mansions across the world. And he had a lot of people at those parties.

And so when you think about that, that to me makes a little bit of sense. And then this comes out supposedly not 100% reported through a credible source, just people chattering on Twitter. I think that could be what's happened. Well, all I'll say, I'll finish with this. from the time that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in my air quotes I have kind of just thought that this is never

this is never going to it's never going to see the light of day because if you if you can get into the highest security prison in New York you can get the two armed guards to just wonder off and the security cameras to all go down and then convince the person in that cell

to suicide themselves, who's going to take you down? Because whoever it is, whoever it is that is holding the cards on this deal, that it's going to take, it's going to, there isn't a flashlight bright enough to open that up. The only thing that I'll say though is the fact that his girlfriend is still alive. I don't know if it was, did he ever get married? No, no. She was just his girlfriend. But the fact that she's alive, to me,

the only reason that she's alive is because she's got something. Somewhere there is, there is something. Well, yeah, I think I've heard this theory too, that if she has something that if she dies, it all gets fucking released. And I think people know it. So there ain't going to kill her. Right.

But that's what I heard. It ain't going to get released. No. So I just think it's a big nothing burger until... And it's sad because... Yeah. There's a shitload of girls out there that deserve the justice. Oh, a thousand percent.

And the other thing that's... The positive thing about this whole situation for us as American people is that at least... If nothing else comes from it, at least it shine the light that there are some high-level, elitist people, celebrities potentially that are fucked Rick. Just sick bastards. There are some sick bastards out there that. Once again, and the thing about it is we'd love to know it so we couldn't support those sick

bastards and they could get the hell out. But I don't know if we'll ever come to it. It's messed up no matter what. no matter how you write it's messed up but i don't know i'm hoping that we would we will get to see the official list because i'm not buying that that's the the official list at all or something comes out that's a little bit more i just want justice i want some clients that did the shit that they did to to get prosecuted yeah for sure a thousand percent okay the last thing we're going to talk about uh and we've had some people that have this kind of goes into q and a that

have asked us questions about it. But there is a shitload of turmoil going on in Europe all over, just all over their multiple countries. But ag especially is just getting, I mean, European farmers, they've had it. They have freaking had it. Good for them. In Germany, the farmers are out again shutting down the automobile. on. They shut down a bunch of cities. There's all kinds of video of them dump a manure on the steps of the legislature in Germany, France, the Netherlands, their protests. And what their

protest about is taxes, the price of energy, basically their livelihood being legislated out. So I'll give you some examples. In Germany, the farmers are protesting because they were, basically, I think they've got sped-up depreciation where if you buy a tractor, you can depreciate 100% the first year, which we have that here. A lot of people, a lot of industries have that, construction guys, a lot of people you can buy, you know, if you buy something for your business, you can write off, you can kind of pick what the appreciation schedule is. But they also had a bunch of diesel subsidies, and there was some other tax breaks. Well, Germany's broke. I mean, they're broke. They made the decision a long time ago

to get rid of all their coal and natural gas, and they started getting it from Russia, and they thought that was never going to end, and then all hell broke loose, and their utility rates were going through the roof. But they decided to cut $983 million in subsidies. from farmers. And we can debate about whether that's right or wrong, whether they should have the subsidies or not, whatever, but they had them and they cut them. And that's what's going to get brought up. They're going to say, oh, these greedy fucking farmers, they shouldn't have those subsidies anyway. Well, what you don't hear about is the reason they did that, though, is because they're going to take that money and they're going to spend it to reduce their greenhouse.

emissions, and they picked on the ag sector because ag is responsible for 7.4% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. 7%. They're not going to go after whoever's making 30% or 20% or 70%. They're going after, they're going to take it after them. And the other thing is the people that are protesting, it's not just affecting farmer. also. There's blue collar industries inside too that are being affected by this shit that are also protesting. You see

the clips of the farmers spray manure on the streets and taking the tractors and blocking shit off. That's happening. But there's a decent amount of blue collar people too that are being affected by the shit that's going on there. So that's the other counterpoint to any of you fuckers that say, oh,

it's the greedy fucking farmers that are the ones that are pissed off about this. No. It's a lot of people. Germany especially, they are so upside down, they have been taken over by the greenies. And here is a perfect example of the stupidity that is running that country. So Germany has as much installed solar generation, solar panels,

as California does. Yet they produce, like not even a quarter, as what California does. And the reason, and anybody that knows anything about, I guess, the weather, they didn't ask. The sun does not shine in Germany very long or very often. Most of their days are cloudy. They don't get very much sun. They have invested billions in this solar. And then what happens when the sun doesn't shine, they have to fire up coal-fired peaker plants. to take up the difference. But when they fire those up,

they do not count those emissions from those plants until they're up and running. And the most, the most emissions comes from starting them up. I mean, it's the way they jubble the numbers, it's just fucking bullshit. Anyway, that's Germany for you.

And then the Dutch, they've decided the only way they're going to be able to lower their, carbon footprint is to get rid of all the cows. And so they don't need cows. They don't need farmers. They don't need farms. So $26.2 billion is being set aside to buy out over 3,000 peak admitter farms, which are cattle, dairy, whatever. Family farms. And they're going to give them 120% of their assessments. I love the wordplay. We, I love it. They want to, I love how the, the media and just all that shit.

They love to say, they love to say, industrial agriculture is the devil. They take out the family farms. And it's the factory farms that are taking everything out. Yeah. And then here we are.

What do they say here? What do they say? What is the word? They're the peak. Peak, uh, peak admitter. They are taking, they're gonna, they're gonna buy out the peak admitter farms.

Yeah. And, but we all know that those are the family farms. They like to, put family farms on a pedestal where most farms, you know, they're kind of family, you know, a lot of farms are family farms. And then when it's not, when it's not convenient for them to use family farm as a term on their wordplay, they'll use that shit. Yeah. And don't, any of you out there that are, uh, thinking,

these are like industrial, like, uh, industrial farms. No, your average, your average dairy farm size over there is much smaller than what it is here. So these aren't like big. These are not what it's big to them. To us, this is not, this wouldn't even be, this would be a small dairy farm. Most of these guys. And they're in, and you know, like why? So why are they doing this? Well, it's because the Dutch ag sector is responsible for 15% of their carbon emissions. So you see how this pattern is going. And what's going to happen is, I'll just say this. And I wish this wasn't true, but I really think this is what's going to happen.

Hot tape. And I said this to DeSantis when he was here. So the number of farms in Europe has fallen 37% from 2005 to 2020, about 5.3 million fewer farmers for the, continent of Europe. So when Europe, when international trade breaks down and Europeans starve, then, and only then, will they go, well, maybe that wasn't a very good decision. And France is the same way. The same shit is going on in France. Farmers are protesting there. And you're right. It's not just about that.

So anybody here that is of a liberal mindset often likes to romantically daydream about if only the United States could be more like Europe because the Europeans, they're so sophisticated and they're just ahead of us and they're, you know, they're working all this stuff out. They're grounded.

Progressive. They're progressive. Well, they are. And if you want to see the shit show that could be coming here, all you have to do is look at Europe. And if you are a middle class person in Europe, you are in a hell of a shape because there isn't going to be a middle left because they're going to tax and inflate your cost of energy, your cost of travel, transportation, and the number of good paying jobs that are available to you industrial-wise just keep shrinking. And it's a mess.

So that's why the farmers are protesting. No, I agree with you. It's, and it's, it's, it's what you said on the DeSantis podcast about, it's funny that we just can't, people just don't know their history. Well, we, because if you, but I don't even, like the people pushing that shit there, do they even care what the history is? Because to them, I feel like they, they know, they, know, I mean, either they're incompetent or they're intentionally doing it because they know the whole green movement's going to fucking line their pockets.

I mean, those are the two options. Either you're stupid as fuck or you're going to get rich as fuck. Either one. Those are your two options. So they have sold their soul for climate change. Their politics, I mean, they've gotten those governments are run by progressive, far left, people and they think so here's a crazy thing so in Europe you can you can pay to have your avocado that's grown in South America or Mexico or Mexico or wherever it is you can have that

all of that industrial agriculture and they're fine with it as long as it's somewhere else and that's what they're kind of trying to do. They want to buy their products made in China, and they don't care how many coal plants China has running, and they buy their produce from South America or Africa or wherever. They just don't want any of that industry there because they think that that's how they're going to save their little chunk of the world.

They're not nearly as visionary as what everybody wants to build them up to be. and I'll, you know, I probably referenced this too many times, but if you follow Peter Zion at all and you look at demographics, it doesn't really matter because Europe's screwed anyway, because in a matter of before my life ends, there isn't going to be enough Europeans left to work in a factory, to farm, to do anything. Because not enough young people.

They haven't had enough kids. Well, and the sad thing is, feel bad for the farmers over there, one, but two, yeah, the people. Because the people starving, either they're going to import all their food, which that's what they'll do, and it's going to cost an astronomical amount of money for the everyday consumer, and I think it's all going to implode on itself, because either you're going to get out or you're not going to afford and the government's going to have to provide aid, and you're just going to go backwards. There is a great video out there if you get on Google or YouTube. Or they'll starve.

I mean, whatever. And I really don't know what it's called, but I think if you search like who owes who in Europe or which European countries the most broke or European countries bailing each other out, there is this fantastic video and it's two economists. and this it was shot during like the when Greece when Greece just about defaulted on all their money and they're just sitting down and this guy says who owns who owns Greece's debt and this guy says well the European Union does it's Germany owns and France owns he goes well how much debt does Germany have? And he says, oh, it's got this many euros. Who owns their debt? Well, Britain and France and the Netherlands. Well, how much debt does France have? Da-da-da-da-da. It goes round and around. And finally,

he says, you know, who owns Spain debt? Well, Greece owns a bunch of it. But she said Greece was broke. Well, yeah. And basically, what you figure out is that whole continent is so far in debt and has printed so much money to subsidize a bunch of shit that does not help anybody, including the farmers. They've subsidized everything because their costs are so high. There's no way out for them. There's no way out for them. See, well, I would say there's potential if they can over, I stand with them for protesting. No, I do.

I do. I don't. I, 1,000% stand with them because if I'm in their shoes, I'm going to fight for that, you know. It's all you can do. And so I think their only way out of it is if they can turn shit around and fight for it and overthrow the crazy ass shit going on. And hopefully they do. Keep painting them streets full of shit.

Hog manure or whatever manure they got. Keep fucking painting it. I would do the same. I feel for them. That sucks. But that's what we have to do. You know what? They're protesting.

And we can't let that shit come here. Right. And you've got to stand your ground everywhere. And you cannot rely on politics. to make the right decision, whether they're European politicians or American politicians. You just can't, because they don't have your best interest in mind. Well, they're out of touch completely. Or they're trying to make money.

Or they're both. Or they're both. Last one that I'll throw in, this is not even on the sheet, and you're probably looking at me with the hairy eyeball. I know we're at 113, but we're getting there. And I don't have much information on this, but I came across a Netflix documentary yesterday, or a couple days ago, Saturday night.

Today's Monday. And on the top 10 Netflix shows, at number three was this documentary about a whole group of probably six set of twins, identical twins that have the same

genetics, and they are going to see if they can feed one set of twins a plant-based diet and one set of twins, the diet that we, a healthier diet than most Americans eat, where it's balanced diet? Well, there's a name for it. You eat carbs, you eat meat, you eat everything, right, fats, all that. Traditional diet. Yeah, yeah.

Traditional diet, but a little bit healthier. And they, I didn't even get all the way through it. I couldn't even watch it all. Because in the first episode, if you are, if you can think for yourself at all, you can very, very easily tell that this documentary aims to point out that meat is terrible for you. Meat and dairy is terrible for you. You should not eat a lot of meat.

You should eat less meat. you should consume less dairy. And that, I mean, I didn't, I couldn't, and I don't know if they, if I didn't even make it through to the end to see if, you know, the person that does end up eat, the set of, the twin that does eat me ends up in a better shape than the one that eats a plant-based diet. I don't know. I didn't finish it. But what I could tell you from just watching what I watched, that whole fucking thing was aiming for people. to eat a plant-based diet. That's what I gathered.

And I had to shut it off because I was like, this is so blatantly obvious, it's not even funny. That was the whole thing. It was trending number three. So they, yep, that's what they did. They got six set of twins, one person ate a plant-paced diet, one person ate a traditional diet,

and they were going to compare results at the end to see who ends up healthier and I don't know what parameters they used or whatever. But I couldn't even watch it all, because you needed a TV Brit. Holy shit. I just, I, guys, this idea of them wanting to tell us that meat is bad and dairy is bad, I, you know, you got to do your own research.

And I do believe that every individual is different as far as what foods you react to. Yep. And what fits for one person might not fit for you. but to make a documentary and promote one diet more and list all the negatives of another just irresponsible. And it also was anti-ag. It was big anti-ag, big anti-American farmer food.

It was. It totally was. They talked about factory farming and American farming and how it industrialized and why it industrialized and just shit. It was shit. So if you're a farmer or anybody that wants to get pissed off for a night, go check that out and let me know how you get through the first 30 minutes.

But I had to shut it off because, but it, and I saw a really good LinkedIn video the other day, and I can't remember what the guy's name was, but he posted it on and he was on a podcast talking, and he was like, you know what? I'm going to dedicate my life to, you see how many anti-agricultural, documentaries, shows, movies that come out, I'm going to do the opposite,

and I'm going to dedicate my life to making movies, documentaries, TV shows to promote agriculture, because that's the only way you can fight it. And I was like, fuck yeah, brother. I love that. And that's kind of what we're doing here too, you know. Some days it's enough to drive a man to drinking. It is. It is enough.

It really is. But it just pissed me off. And it's just another documentary, another example of the, them trying to make us eventually eat crickets. I don't know. But it just makes you wonder why the hell that gets shoved down your throat so hard. But you know the only thing that gives me hope. What?

Our awesome, awesome, awesome. Audience, listeners, the people that support us. I know. You are a great bunch of folks. Well, it makes us not feel like we're crazy. Right. That's a, you know, it really validates to us that, hey, Well, there's a few that make me feel a little crazy.

Yeah, there are. I mean, not everybody's supposed to agree with us, but the fair amount of you that do listen or watch a show can meet us at our points and sometimes agree, sometimes not, and sometimes you might agree with a little bit of it or not. All of it. Yep. But, hey, whether you agree or you disagree, we don't care just as long as you follow Jay's lead.

Jay's lead. Wow, look at that tie-in. Our good friend Jay from the great state of Kansas, isn't he from Kansas around the Wichita area? I think so. We got a box of the mail the other day. And actually, this is the second box we've gotten.

And he had in there, not one, but two bottles of whiskey. He sent us a bottle of monkey shoulder and then hold that up. A bottle of Still Austin. And I'm really excited for that Still Austin. We're not going to open today because we're long enough the way it is. but we will upcoming bourbon, Bourbon minute, we will go it. We will go through it.

So I heard about this, and I've seen some people talk about it, and I was very excited. And I don't have either one of these, so we're going to have it. And out of the kind of his heart, he threw in some Bucky Nuggets, they're Beaver Nuggets. From Buckees, the fantastic gas station of America. Buckies is, if you have never been to one, when my wife and I went down, to Daytona Beach, we stopped at several Buckeys and it's, it's pretty amazing. It's insane. It's the most American, like, if you want to know, like, I can't think of anything that's like more American than Buckees because it's like, we're going to take, we're going to take a gas station.

10 X. And we're just going to pimp the living shit out of it. Yeah. And all I can say about these nuggets, the beaver nuggets is they're damn good, but I hope they didn't feed these to one of the twins. Yeah, the nutritional facts will scare you. Yeah, you don't want to eat those out of the bag. You want to put them in a bowl and eat them away from the bag. The best thing to do is to take them out of the bag as quickly as you can because they are very tasty. You just don't want to read the ingredients. So anyway, Jay, you're a hell of a unit, and we appreciate you. And that's a great, that was a great care package. You want to know what makes our days sometimes? That right there. Right. Right.
