The North Pole used to be green It was covered in flowers and beautiful trees Flowing with rivers and laughing streams That you could drink right out of all But things change Nothing on earth can remain the same, yeah they change Nothing will remain the same See them with their trees

Dying in their homes Ask them why they do it They'll tell you they don't know See them take their children To a shopping mall To meet a false profit claiming To be at the close Love

Things have changed Oh yes they've changed If they do the real story They wouldn't say his name Ignorance is bliss But we gather out shrimp I'll tell you the true story Of Christmas

What's up? Welcome to the DTFH live. Hi, everybody. Hope you guys are doing great. What you just heard, I'm incredibly excited about. It's in process, and I know that probably when you're making something, you shouldn't play before it's done.

Quite often I do that and never finish the damn thing. But this, I'm trying to get done before Christmas. It's my solo band, it's my solo band, Cavern of the Pig Emperor, and that's Cavern of the Pig Emperor Christmas, which is the actual story of Santa Claus. So that was just the first few tracks from it. There's over 230 tracks in my mind for, The album is going to take me some time to get all those done.

And yeah, there, did you get, yeah, there it is. That's the cover that we're working with right now, Cavern of the Pig Emperor Christmas. It's going to be incredible. My guess is that this will be one of the last DTFH episodes I do because as soon as this thing hits Spotify, I'm going to be invited to New York. They're going to want to make it into a Broadway show starring me,

which is a problem. because I am not a great singer. And what I've been doing, which is just amazing, and for you anti-A-I people out there, I legitimately want to know your opinion on this. What is your feeling? Because with suno.a-I, what you could do now, and you could do this for a while with it,

but you can get it to generate a song with lyrics that you wrote remove the lyricist and then sing your own like put your own voice on it just record your own voice is that still fucked up I'm curious

what do you think about that for those of you who don't give a shit I don't either but I am curious what level of fear and trembling what blowback I'm going to get if I write the lyrics record my own voice but don't

do the music. Because I don't have time to learn how to play guitar, piano, and all the things this thing does in like one minute. I feel like I can write lyrics, no problem. And I think it's funny if I try to sing very difficult things to sing for a Christmas album. That's funny to me. The shittier it sounds, the funnier that is to me. But as far as the composition of the music, for get it like there's just no way and there's no way i'm going to like get a band to do it for me i don't even know where to start with that and even if i did i can't afford that i got three kids one on the way it would cost so much money and it would take till next year if i want to get this album out my goal being i don't know sometime before christmas next week then i can't get a band

so what of what do you what do you anti-a-i people think about that you can leave it in the comments down below, but I'm not going to read it as a problem, because I've gone back to my no reading comments policy mostly, which brings me into something I wanted to tell you guys about. A fascinating thing happened to me. Really weird. Like, I don't know, five days ago, something like that. Let me give you some backstory here, guys. Aaron, my wonderful wife, is inches away from blasting the next trussle. out of her vagina into time space. And so, you know, what that means is that we're trying to get her to wind down.

And that is not an easy thing to do. She's a very ambitious, focused person, always doing shit. She goes to Costco, dude. Like, what? Fuck that. I actually went with her to Costco because, again, I've got to go into full servant mode here. And I just, I don't know, man, I'm still shook from that experience. It's just messed up in there, dude. It's messed up. I can't even, I've thought about it. I woke up at night

thinking about it. Just the, there's some kind of aggressive energy in Costco. Like, it's hard for me to understand what's going on there. Maybe it's because the carts are too big. But I don't know Costco rules like I've never been in a place with carts that you could fit a fucking casket in like they probably sell caskets at Costco so it's like hitting you at all sides one you don't want to run into anybody with a cart I don't want to seem like I don't have my Costco card I don't have a card Aaron does I'm yeah I'm ashamed of that but they're like I'm trying to like turn off a lot of parts of my like sensory input in there because I'm being drawn into like the electronics section. I haven't looked at TVs in years. Jesus fucking Christ looks like

you could walk right into the TV and hang out with the lizards on the TV. It's beautiful, incredible. But then also it's like, whoa, why do they have these weird coffee machines? And then you look and it's like shitty pants and then there's Christmas toy holy fuck they're not going to have good Christmas toys what the fuck they've got a fucking pinball machine you could buy a pinball machine at Costco so all these things are going through your head you're overwhelmed and then some fucking asshole smacks into you with their cart like on purpose because I guess you went too far into whatever the Costco lane is you're not supposed to go on which makes Sarah laugh because I'm a Costco noob. She thinks it's funny. And then you start realizing like,

oh my God, this is hell. This is some version of hell that I'm in right now. Everyone's miserable. They're selling time shares. They're literally selling. You can buy time shares, health insurance, life insurance. You can buy all the food you could ever want in your life, flannel shirts. And I think what's happening there is it's just like a mix. of preppers, people from militias up in the country coming down there to like stock up on canned foods, people who are certain were on the precipice of the fucking apocalypse, mixed in with budget-minded parents. It's, we got gas at Costco, man. We went into the fucking Costco gas line, which is exactly like some post-apocalyptic movie. You're just fucking sitting there.

like and i'm you got to do it all right man you got to do it all right she Aaron was explaining it to me you can't go ahead when you think you would go ahead because there's some code Costco code some way you get gas though it's all fucking overwhelming so that that's just part of what i've been doing like you know it's just i can't even explain the number of plates i'm trying to spin right now we then on top of it You've got like just the normal kind of like catastrophes that happen when you're a householder. You know what I mean? Just like crazy fucking shit just happens out of the blue water heater fucks up.

Plumbers have to come. Just shit like that. You know what I mean? The fucking, of course, right when literally at any moment, you could happen right now. I should actually turn my phone on. She could go into labor at any fucking second. And of course, that's when the heater goes out. You know, of course.

And like things that just any normal person, you're going to be like, okay, that sucks. I'll get it fixed. For a pregnant, it's like, it's like it feels like there was just a drone strike next door. So, because when you're nesting, and then suddenly it's like, oh, great, with my new baby, the heat's going to be out. Which isn't the worst thing in Texas. But try saying that to a pregnant. Try saying that to a pregnant person. see how that comes out at the end try telling a someone who could go into labor any moments like

you know we can we got we'll just use extra blankets i mean it's texas oh fuck dude you'll get your eyeballs ripped out of your fucking head so that's sort of the universe i'm living in and i and actually i like it that it's fun in a kind of brutal way and um just in the sense that it's like You're just on the precipice of, like, God knows what, birth, you know, the ancestors come in, spirits come in. It's a mystical thing. It's a portal. It's, you know, the beginning of a life.

It's all the mystical stuff is simultaneously happening. And it's a wild, wild experience. And so somewhere over the last few weeks, which had been something of a blur for me, I had this thought, which was wow man it seems like people right now are less upset like online and then i realized wait no i just haven't been going online i haven't been going on i've barely been going online compared to what i was doing and you guys i know this is the most basic bitch observation anyone can make these days but i feel so much better It's night and day, man.

Like, the world that I'm living in right now, having stayed offline, I still dive into a little doom scrolling here and there. Nothing, you know, nothing compared to what I was doing. The world I'm living in now is pretty great. It's busy traffic in Austin sucks right now for some reason. Like, people drive like fucking assholes around the holidays. Everyone's stressed out, freaked out, into the year responsibilities. But, whoa, it is so obvious. You know, the Black Plague.

Can you, Josh, do you mind just Googling how many people the Black Plague killed? We all know about the Black Plague. It was this horrific global pandemic, reduced the Earth's population by a healthy amount. The Black Death, 1346 to 1353, killed a staggering 75 to 200 million people across Europe, Asia, and Africa, wiping out 30 to 60 percent of Europe's population, making history's deadliest pandemic with devastating impacts on society, economy, and culture. Now, we do know one of the cultural impacts,

because to this day, kids still sing. around the rosy pocket full of posies ashes ashes we all fall down they still sing that creepy song i didn't know that song was a black was a black death song until i was no longer singing it when kids are singing it they mostly don't know that the ring around the rosies these are symptoms of the bubonic plague pocket full of posies they thought that somehow i think having flowers in your fucking pocket could keep it away. They didn't know the black plague was caused

by fleas. That was it, just fucking fleas because of the Silk Road. We got more connected and then boom, this massive disease just wiping people the fuck out. They didn't know what was going on.

And I got to tell you, man, I'm pretty sure the internet is the technological flea causing a psychic fucking pandemic that is crushing our species, not killing us, which by the way, maybe that's worse. Because you're motivated to figure out what the fuck is causing the bubonic plague. You're sick of smelling that stinky barbecue smell of dead, diseased corpses burning in your

village. You don't like it. You don't like the fact that everyone you know has died. don't like the fact that your doctor wears those creepy fucking stork masks they used to wear. The ancient version of the fucking COVID mask. Can you pull up those stork masks doctors used to wear? This episode of the DTFH has been brought to you by my friends at Squarespace. You must understand by now that sometimes the best way to get things going is just to start doing them. Like, yeah, sure, you haven't figured out a way to tap into dark matter and create a warp drive that you could manufacture and sell.

to people all over the world, but that's no reason you shouldn't build a website to sell it. Who knows? Sometimes you do need to put the cart before the horse. Squarespace has everything you need if you want to display your inventions. If you want to sell your inventions, yeah, sure, you could go to some, I don't know, Etsy or something and sell your stuff there, or you could, take your life into your own hands

build your own website for that warp drive the next dream you might have might actually be the blueprint for the warp drive start with the website then you might get the warp drive start with a website even before you've fully figured out what your business is I'm serious

this is just basic friction sometimes when you just start moving in the direction of your dreams miracles happen why not just build the website for that thing you've been wanting to do why procrastinate square space gives you everything you need to start that wheel at turning the wheel of magic the wheel of karma you can spin that baby make the warp site website or whatever it is warpsite.com that's pretty cool someone priority took it If they didn't, you should get it.

Thank you, Squarespace. You know what I mean? People weren't walking around like, yeah, but I need the black plague to do my job. Yeah, but I have to have the black plague or I'm not going to be able to make money. We have managed to create a kind of parasitic relationship with a technological, for lack of a better word, life form. We don't know.

Like to this day, people aren't really sure if like viruses are, alive they could just be like machines no one's quite sure could you pull up a uh like a a a virus just like a an electron microscope scan of a virus yeah these little fuckers no one's quite really like are they alive are they sentient do they you know look at that fucking thing pick up the look at that thing open that up that touch that weird thing that weird thing there. What is that? Is that a machine? Looks like a robot. But the point is, we have created a parasitic relationship with technology, with this hyper-connected world that we're living in. And I've innovated something. If you want to do it, do it. I think you're going to be, and you've got to be very

honest when you do it. Sit down and write a list of everyone who bothers you. you in the world. Just a list. Somebody who fucking hates Trump, write it down. You pissed off at Putin. Write it down. You think Nick Flintez is a piece of shit.

Write it down. Candice Owens got your goat. Are you worried about Kanye? Whatever it is. Just write them all down. Then whatever, your fucking uncle. He's a piece of shit. Write it down.

Then mark off the list all the people you're never going to fucking meet. And the people that are left, that's your problem everything else is not your problem it is irrelevant none of it matters you're not going to

you know what you're not going to do you're not going to have anything to do with whether or not the United States blows the fuck out of Venezuela you're not going to have anything to do with whether or not there's a peace deal between the Ukraine and Russia you're not going to have anything

to do with fucking Nick Fuente none of it matters. It's completely irrelevant. But it soaks into our minds. It gets into you, man. And it doesn't even matter. I used to think that you could approach some of this stuff

and not be harmed by it. But I don't even think it's possible. It's like handling plutonium. It doesn't matter. You might think you're the most, skeptical person who has just who's a master at media literacy a master at discerning what's real from what isn't real it doesn't matter any interaction with this shit is going to fuck you up that's the problem it's the most it's the most brilliant

parasite ever because it pretends like there's some possibility of symbiosis a balanced relationship with it. Like, there would be a way, theoretically, that this technology could make it so people had to work fewer hours so that people could, like, enjoy their lives more so that things were done more efficiently. There could be some way. But it hasn't happened yet. It either makes it so that you are completely trapped, tethered to your company, your job,

some group of people spam it either does that or it makes it so that you actually end up working more and this is one of the interesting things in the utopian vision of the future that we're currently experiencing

the idea was that we would sort of transition out of the grind the technology would start doing things we'd get into some kind of weird Star Trek world where the entire planet shifted from this, like, never-ending grind, this horrific work thing that we all do to a sort of more utopian, less stressful, peaceful picnics, but with androids or something. Didn't happen. It hasn't happened. All that's happened is that people just have to, like, work more.

We're all getting hunched over because we're not standing up as much. there's a massive vitamin D deficiency all around the planet they're wanting to call it like a vitamin pandemic vitamin D you need that for your brain so people just aren't going outside as much we're not getting sun we're not eating good food and so our brains are getting all foggy and fucked up which is exactly the perfect way you would want a brain to be if you want to to inject it with a bunch of bullshit. So everybody that is being tilled, the soil of the human mind is being tilled by the dark tractor of the internet.

And it's driving people fucking nuts, giving you this sense of some impending threat, some danger. And I'll tell you what's really cool about taking a little internet break. And I didn't do it on purpose. And again, the hypocrisy here is I'm about to talk about some shit I found on the internet. So I'm not clean. I'm not clean all the way. I guess I'm California sober when it comes to the internet right now.

And I'll probably go on another bender before you know it. But the benefit of going off the internet. By the way, I also recognize how crazy it is to be saying this when I depend on people being on the internet for my job. So fuck it. But the benefit of going off this technology is that when you revisit it, it seems fucking crazy. It's less normalized. When you're going on it all the time, all that you're seeing, it kind of seems normal. It makes sense.

You're seeing the repeating pattern of whatever your fucking algorithm is serving up to you. You're solidifying some kind of worldview based on that algorithm. probably you're getting cynical about the world and the state of people in the world. Why wouldn't you? The algorithm is handpicking the craziest motherfuckers on the planet and throwing them into your feed because we're interested in that. Crazy is interesting. Of course it is. You're interested in crazy because when you're around crazy in the real world, you want to get away from crazy because crazy is what stabs you in the fucking throat.

crazy is what throws it shit at you or whatever you don't want to get crazified so of course that's what we're all interested in there's a sense this is the other way this poisonous fucking dark machine works is it gives you some sense that if you gather up enough information regarding geopolitics domestic politics what's going on with the government what's going on with the president what's going on with some stupid culture wars bullshit that you are going to somehow extend your lifespan you're going to be safer that's the underlying feeling you get it that's why when you're doom scrolling you'll notice there's like a dark cozy cozy that that's my term when i'm sure that'll take off dark cozy this feeling of like you're kind of like you feel it's like when it's

raining outside and you're inside. Except it's not raining outside. You're like watching horrors upon horrors on your phone. You're watching like fucking technological wombs being created where theoretically you could just grow babies in a factory. You're you're looking at like all of the possible fucked up things that are coming down the line. You're watching insane porn just fucking up your head and then you know what happened is i i because i kept hearing about that the nick fuentes oh my god what's his name peers morgan had nick flintess on and i had not been online that much i'm like you know what i got to watch that that sounds really really funny and um because you've got like the old blow hard and the young blow hard

and you know you got the old you got the old alpha the old silver back and the young up and coming silver back contending with one another and it was really fascinating to watch because um you know peers morgan doesn't have the immune system to deal with nick flintas like he's dealt with all kinds of fucking people But it was wild because, like, Flintes doesn't care at all, apparently, about what Pierce Morgan thinks about him or what Pierce Morgan's audience thinks about him. And also has a kind of satanic lucidity to him. Like, he's, like, real sharp. And so it was wild to watch this old fucking boomer go up against this young buck.

but also because I hadn't been online it just seems so silly just like I don't know like at the level of like you know when you watch your kids get in a fight or something um I don't want my kids to fight they're going to fight but you sometimes when the things that they get in fights over arguments over are ridiculous you know the energy behind it is no different from an adult fight but the what they're arguing over like who gets to hold up an acorn or something you know it's it's hilarious and that's what it looked like that's what it feels like if you just get your head out of the fucking porta potty for just a few days When you stick it into the porta potty again, you're like, damn, this stinks.

This smells like a fucking shitter. And that's all you got to do. Just a few days. I promise you. I don't think all of you are necessarily at the level of internet addiction that I was at. But for those of you who are there right now, and you recognize it, you know it. You're fucking raw right now. You've just been plunging your head over.

over and over and over again into that muck sticking your head down into the digital fucking toilet sucking on big fat peanut encrusted digital turds and then you're like why does my stomach hurt why do I feel so bad why do I keep getting angry and freaked out why am I tired all the time why am I having nightmares what's going on with me it's because you've been sucking turds out of a global fucking toilet that we call the internet it's blinders it's the worst kind of blinders my friends it's like you know you put horse blinders on a horse it knows it's got blinders i don't know horses i don't know if they even fucking know you can only see you right in front of it you put blinders on a person they're like what the fuck i can't see in my periphery but if you put blinders on humans that imitate the world when it isn't the world at all they're never going to try to take them off and that's what we're dealing with here man the most sophisticated incredible blindfold that's ever been created all you're seeing is what's

online that's it it gives you the impression that's all there is you start thinking that's it that must be the world the world is being covered by the internet we're capturing all of it I'm not saying you guys are that stupid but you know what I mean all the music all the movies

all the whoever the fucking celebrities are that you're into all of it the only reason you know about it is because you've seen it on the fucking screen and you that's it but it's there's a whole

other undiscovered country out there friends and you won't find it with the internet it won't it doesn't matter whatever the fuck you're seeing on the internet i promise you is a a sliver a fraction of what's going on out there in the world and then when you add to that if you're like most people you just have a certain set route that you take every day you have a grocery store you go to you might have a job that you go to maybe a friend's house that you go to maybe a bar that you go to though i don't even know if people are doing that as much anymore but a certain set number of places you go your bank and you have a set way that you get there and the way that you get there how do you

know how to get there your phone fucking tells you your phone tells you to go left and to go right and go this way and that's just what you do that's what i do like some kind of fucking zombie you just do it and God help you if your phone goes down and you've been dumbed down and deskilled by this fuck of technology you're lost embarrassingly lost in your own neighborhood

and by you I mean me that's what happens and so then add to it the rise of AI it's like now instead of a phone telling you where you go I don't know if you've seen the commercials

for the like new phones with AI in them but it is the most depressing shit you've ever seen in your life. And by that, I mean depressed. I would need it, but it's like, hey, chat, how do I change a tire? There's blood in my stool. What does that mean?

Is it weird that my nipples are bleeding? It's like where all of this leads is exactly what Jaron Lanier predicted. can you pull up a picture of Jaron Lanier Lanier L-A-N-I-E-R it's a weird name this dude right here check this guy out

this guy is well partially the reason we have a bunch of technology that we have right now but look up Jaron Lanier why to delete your social media 10 arguments for deleting your social media accounts now Jaron Lanier argues for deleting

social media because these platforms driven by targeted ads, hijack our free will, degrade truth, foster unhappiness, and make politics terrifying by constantly manipulating behavior for profit turning users into products. He says it brings out the worst in us. Foster's addiction creates fake realities, destroys empathy, and ultimately disconnects us while claiming to connect us advocating for a humanistic paid social model instead. Now, this book is fucking great, and it's sinister, by the way. like it's much more than that like he goes into detail about bf skinner the behavioral psychologist

skinner boxes and how we're all being like hypnotized by this shit and i believe that book came out before a i had gotten where it was which adds to the power of social media but the impacts this is having are very real can you google woman driven crazy by refrigerator ad Yeah, woman driven crazy by refrigerator ad. Refrigerator. Yeah, pull up this, Reddit, yeah, that's it, the New York Post. Samsung Smart Fridge ad for a new sci-fi series allegedly triggered a psychotic episode. Scroll down, I'll read it.

A UK woman, you fuck off! A UK woman named. Carol checked herself into the emergency room after a Samsung smart fridge advertisement allegedly caused her to lose her grip on reality. The woman's sister detailed her plight in a viral Reddit post in which she implored the public to give her advice on dealing with the unusual predicament. My schizophrenic sister hospitalized herself because she thought she was having a psychotic episode, the sibling titled the post. Turns out it was an advert on the LED screen. the victim who has reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been hospitalized for

previous episodes had reportedly called the Reddit user to report that someone was trying to communicate with her through a Samsung, a family hub, smart fridge. Now, one of the symptoms of schizophrenia, for those of you don't know, maybe some of you have it, is that you start thinking that the radio, the TV is sending you messages. It's a kind of like hyperpowered confirmation bias, which is like something. something pops up on your radio that somehow applies directly to your life and you get this sense of like, oh my God. It's a synchronicity. It's a synchronicity.

But it's like not to say those secretities don't happen and not to say there's a whole other conversation to be had about like iracular uses of what's commonly called chaos magic to get messages from random variables in your environment in the way like you look at Rorschach ink block and ink blot and see. shapes in it, but schizophrenics, they don't see it like that. They think they're getting communicated with. This poor woman has got one of these new refrigerators that apparently advertise into your fucking house. And this pluribus

ad pulls up. Now, scroll down a little bit. Check it out. For those, yes, can they see it? Scroll all the way down. So the honored refrigerator, it says, we're sorry we upset you, Carol. Whoa. Yeah. It's her fucking

name. And so this is just an ad for pluribus, whatever the fuck that is. And this poor woman did the right thing. She's clearly working on herself. She knows she has schizophrenia. And she's like, oh my God, it's happening again. She checks herself into a psych ward. Now, scroll down a little bit. I don't think she's schizophrenic. Well, no. I mean, yeah, but that's the whole point. And it's like this tech is already causing ridiculous moments like that. I mean, the fact that someone would buy a fucking refrigerator that could advertise into their house is mind boggling to me, that you would pay for that. Now, apparently there's a way to turn it off, but you should be able to turn it on, not turn it off. That's crazy that it starts by giving you ads with your fucking name.

that is so dystopian and insane and you know it's like in the orwellian universe when the when you get the tv screen in your house that shows big brother they make you put it there in this case you're fucking buying it and putting in in your house but the point is these targeted ads like this are so unethical and so in insanely fucked up. It's like imagine if your refrigerator had a, I don't know, actually now I'm thinking about this might be incredible, but just for the sake of this shitty analogy,

imagine if your refrigerator had a compartment in it where a hand would come out and grab your ass randomly. Like nobody would, I was going to say like it'd jerk you off and then like that would sell way, that would sell a lot of refrigerators. But the point is, I don't know. I'm trying to think of a kind of invasive physical thing that technology could do. Just, I mean, maybe it doesn't pleasure.

You just reaches out and like smacks your tits randomly. Says your name. Hey, Carol, smacking your tits. Like, no, that would be illegal. But something like that somehow, and maybe it's just because this tech is like so relatively brand new, we don't have laws that we obviously need so that corporations can't fucking do that shit. That is insane.

That's insane. And this is the, this is where it gets really weird because our relationship with this parasitic fucking technology is consensual. Somebody, Carol bought that poor

schizophrenic Carol, bought that refrigerator. You, I paid for the fucking TV in my house that like weird, every once in a while it'll just pop up. There's a new term. terms of service, which is really fucking absolutely crazy. Like, I have to re-agree to some contract I never even read in the first place.

But every once in a while, there'll be a privacy notice. And if I want to use my TV, I got to, like, act like I've read the shit. Like, yeah, sure, whatever. I don't know. What, you're measuring my fucking, like, eye dilation while I watch commercials or something. Okay, I just want to watch TV. I want to see the fucking sopranos. but completely by the way is it schizophrenic though if your device is listening to you

it you know what I mean it's so it's going to feed you back what you're what it's listening to well there you go there you go because mine right now has been feeding me every once in a while after a scroll for 30 minutes it'll say like video pop up and be like break the loop or you will repeat it tomorrow break the loop and it's just a video playing of like space or something I'm like all right time to get off my phone yeah i've seen now that's interesting i've seen versions of that like like some kind of anti-technology activists make these videos that start off like you know the usual slop and then they're like hey what are you fucking doing with your life like there's more to the world in this two-dimensional hellscape you're happily

putting your eyes and ears on but yeah and on top of that like we all know that the fucking phone is like you know you'll talk about whatever um i mean every you know you want to if you want to do an experiment everybody watching right now just repeat after me say um air conditioner filters say my air conditioner filters dirty my air conditioner filters fucking dirty dude my fucking air conditioner filter is dirty i got a dirty air conditioner filter why is my filter attorney. Just say that over and over and look at what your ads probably will start popping up on your phone. And we accept that. And so when you add to this very creepy reality that we're now being invaded by screens, facial recognition technology, by the way, is just like, you just do it for

convenience. When I go to the fucking airport, if I'm using clear, not to brag, I'm a clear member, I get my eyeballs scan twice. I go through clear they scan my eyeballs. TSA scans my fucking eyeballs and then you know, I'm through and I just don't want to deal with it. I don't want to be like, no, I don't want my face scan.

And also I just think my face is already out there anyway, so there's no fucking hope for me. You know, outside of getting some kind of plastic surgery, gouging my eyeballs out, burning my face off or something, like there's no hope. But dude, pull up pull up the

God, I'm trying to think what it's called you won't find it the point that Jaron Lanier is trying to make and that I'm sloppily trying to make is that at this point

you can't really call yourself an activist a revolutionary you can't really consider that you're actually rebelling against the system if you're looking at your phone for more than like a few minutes a day and because you see it it's a famous trope the inmates line up in the looney bin to get their medication they all get the little cups and they drink their meds and then inevitably one of the

inmates is like not taking the meds hiding them under his mattress or whatever and that's the one who escapes not doing your looking at your phone is the equivalent of that action not looking at your phone is like not taking your meds at the fucking cuckoo house and it's amazing just a few days off and your world will exponentially get better. And I feel like the fact that the world that I'm living in, which is one of near pregnancy and all the chaos and madness that goes with that is not what you would consider an optimum environment for happiness. But I feel better than I felt in a long time. And I'm sleeping better. I got eight hours of sleep last night. It's fucking incredible.

When you're a dad, that's amazing. But what was keeping me up so late is just like staring at the fucking screen. You remove that and boom, you're sleeping, you feel better, you're less stressed out. You just become a better person. So when I watched that Nick Flintes-Pier's Morgan interview, I really didn't have as much power over me as shit like that was having. I don't really give a fuck. Like, not in a kind of callous edge lordy way, but just like, yeah, whatever.

I don't know. It seems like two, like, fairly annoying people having an embarrassing argument. And then that was it. I know this is where maybe I'm going to be, like you guys could say no to this. I think it would be better for you to just play video games and not go online. I think it's better if you're going to like, if you want to do screens, just play ghost of yotai play video games anything other than social media anything other than tic or reels or whatever the fuck you kids are doing now i don't know what it is would be better

anything would be better i i i'm maybe i don't know about this for sure i probably shouldn't say this but i'm going to roll the dice and say day drinking might be better for you just go into a bar to some dive bar and drinking all day without a phone is probably healthier than staring at your fucking phone all day. I'm going to roll the dice. Go to a glory hole instead of looking at your phone. Suck a cock. Get your cock sucked by a stranger. That's probably healthier than looking at your fucking phone. Because what is the difference between a phone and a glory hole? You know what I mean? I mean, obviously there's obvious differences the tech isn't there yet where a stranger's dick can stick out of your phone and you could slobber it down it'll get there eventually or just not there yet

but you're still it's a rectangular shaped hole and strangers are jizzing data all over your fucking face every day every day so don't judge people who enjoy a glory hole from time to time if you're addicted to your phone you can't waggle your fucking finger it's some bearded dude at a truck stop covered with fresh jizz splattered on his beard and his flannel shirt who just pleasure to stranger which by the way around the holiday season is not the worst thing to do people are lonely right now but you can't waggle your finger if you've been getting digital jizz splattered all over your face by God knows who and what. If you've been fucking letting Rachel Maddow and Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson

spray their fucking digital fear come all over your face, who are you to judge anybody? It's no different. It's a glory hole. The phone is a glory hole. I would call it an inglorious hole. A glory hole is at least. There is some glory there, I guess. dark Jeffrey Dahmer way. And again, I want to recognize I get the fucking hypocrisy that you're probably listening this on your phone. I don't know the solution to that problem. But if you want to have a better Christmas...

Quince.com slash Duncan. you quince if you want to like do a cool experiment just see what happens just see what happens you don't have to i mean i've i'm still going to show you some shit that i found on my phone that's really quite interesting i know a meteor shower is going to be out in the yard with the kids watching that thing i'm excited about it i needed the internet for that it's just like there might be a way to interact with this tech where you actually become like for all you out there who are like alleged anti-capitalist just shut the fuck up if

you're on your phone just shut the fuck up about that like if you really want to do some kind of communist revolution you're not going to do that by feeding the fucking corporations that are gathering data from you on your fucking phone. The ultimate boycott is not necessarily everyone just stops working until shit gets better. The ultimate boycott would be we just don't care about the phone anymore.

We stop looking. We don't care. Who gives a fuck? It really doesn't matter, by the way. Like, what are you going to do? Vote the problem away? You really think that's going to fucking work? Give me a break.

By now, like, we all know at this point that, what, 90% of what the feds tell us is bullshit. Like, we know that. Everyone knows that. There might be some sliver of truth in there, but mostly it's horseshit. Whatever it is, is especially written in a way that creates plausible deniability and, you know, sedate some of the masses, angers some of them on purpose. none of it matters everyone knows that i think there was a time when people believe the feds more now we don't so i'm sorry but like being up to date on current events regarding politics is not going to

do shit if you're trying to actually like fight back against some kind of something infinitely more horrifying than any than orwelly orwell's dystopia or huxley's dystopia the thing that's that seems like a clear path to like really fucking shit up is just stop looking at it. It loses all its power. It has zero power over you at that point. You can't do anything.

Like, you don't care. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's happening. You still could do your thoughts and prayers, by the way. You could just do it in a more generic fashion. Pray for the world. pray for parents, pray for children. You don't have to, I don't think God gives a fuck about specific prayers.

It's really interesting because what really is the difference between staring at a glowing hypnotic screen and bowing down in front of like a statue of bail? like isn't it idolatry just to put it bluntly and in some kind of like archaic way wouldn't wouldn't you call it idolatry you know you got the glowing rectangle it's not an altar but it's sort of like an altar it's in your house you sit down enter into a meditative state commune with it you're directed by it it compels you to do shit get a new car get a new fucking phone What is the difference between that and praying to some weird ancient Sumerian deity? I mean, I guess the difference is that weird ancient Sumerian deity isn't going to start showing you ads for air conditioner filters because it heard you talking about it.

So in a way, I guess the ancient Sumerian deity is less dangerous. What is the difference? You're, I mean, look, I'm not saying we're sacrificing our children to bail, but dude, look at the fucking Roblox shit. Parents put their kids on Roblox. They're like talking to like predators. Like, what is the difference? Honestly, it's like, yeah, you're not driving a dagger through your kid's heart. You're just letting him fucking romp around some kind of cartoon.

landscape where there's 100% active fucked up people on there trying to like control kids look I get it you're not like coating your child with lavender and some kind of like

hash oil before you bring them to the top of the pyramid to drive a dagger into their heart but you're posting pictures of them in a fucking bathing suit online you know what I mean it's like dude

you don't really that doesn't it doesn't bother some parents I'll just do that it doesn't bother some parents when they're like wow look

250,000 people like this picture of my kid in a bathing suit I mean it's not child sacrifice in the classic way but things evolve man so but things also stay exactly the same that's what's cool about it nothing new under the sun and so

yeah probably in ancient times when they didn't think that like it was you know when they didn't think it was like a cute thing that like polyamorous couples do when like when they were worshipping like Odin or whatever, you know? That's pagan polyamorous couples. They're all over the fucking place. What if it's still a sacrifice, but it's not a physical sacrifice. It's a sacrifice of their innocence. What's that?

It's a sacrifice of their innocence because they're going to learn some shit on quicker than we would have. 100%. That's it. Yeah. It's like whatever the, you know, whatever the fuck you were, you are, whatever the fuck you are hoping. for that your your kid wouldn't hear they're going to hear it online dude they're going to

fucking you know and if you can traumatize a child at a young age they're more likely to become you know more obedient as they get older well yeah you desensitize that's the idea desensitize desensitize desensitize normalized desensitize yeah and then and then like once i mean if for an adult you can go online for a few days and just get this like and pray for fucking Odin to throw a goddamn for Ragnarok to start. What's it doing for a kid? It's starting right now. Ragnarok.

You didn't hear what Powell said, the head of the Federal Reserve. He said unemployment is going to go up, but productivity will go up as well. How is that possible? That's never happened before. Well, AI. Well, 100%. But you know what? That's what I'm talking. I don't give a shit.

You know, here's the thing. Not to shoot down what you're saying. It's fucked up. I don't give a fucking shit. I don't care what Jerome Powell says. I don't care if Jerome Powell's shit's a fucking unicorn. I don't, I don't care. Why did I ever care about Jerome fucking Powell? Jerome Powell can't do child care for me.

That's what I need. Fucking child care. Unless Jerome Powell is coming to the fucking house to figure out why my kid's bathtub doesn't have hot water, fuck him. Like that, I'm saying, this. entire situation could theoretically be fought back against

by the majority of people recognizing they don't need they don't any all the information we're getting doesn't do anything but make it make us anxious and conveys a sense of power that's the other thing is like Jerome Powell's just some old fucking crusty dude Trump's just some old fucking crusty dude

that's it he's like a dude like you look over at a restaurant you're like ah he seems like a dick that's it you're never gonna run into him never gonna happen doesn't matter is all i'm saying these people don't need to be in our lives look i'm not saying that the fucking dollar collapsing and all that stuff isn't going to create a direct impact on humanity and people i'm just saying you're not going to do shit about it it doesn't matter that's what i'm saying none of it matters nothing you can nothing can be done from that perspective and and therefore the general focus of a person's life should go to what it always has been which is are you are you miserable are you happy or are you miserable that simple binary how are you feeling and is it

possible to feel better like do you need to feel like shit every day all the time do you need to feel angry, paranoid, upset. Do you need your feathers constantly being ruffled? And if you're, if you're sick of it, what's going on there? And this is why that Jaron Lanier book is so good, because he really focuses on conditioning. And we all know the story of Pavlov's dog. You ring the bell, Pavlov's, the dog starts fucking drooling because it thinks it's going to get food. And so now, We are literally Pavlov's dog. Look at the way you feel when your phone rings. Look at the way you feel when your text alert goes off.

How does that feel? Feeling good? Does that make you feel good? Bang! Whatever your fucking sound is? Does that make you feel good? No. Unless you're like, you know, in the beginning phases of some romantic thing with somebody,

it's not making you feel good if you're honest with yourself. When that motherfucker vibrates, it's a little. vault. It's a little vault from the internet. A little, hey, freak out for a second, won't you? Freak out. Your heart rate goes up. Your pulse increases. You don't start salivating. You freak

out for a second. What could it be? Shit, what now? God damn it. What fucking now? Okay, here we go. It's no different. It's conditioning. It's training. And so I would say like if this fucking thing is like making you feel like shit get it away from you as much as possible

but are we conditioned like that because we're fathers and we put out fires all the time and that's why usually that being is a fire could be there's a lot of dads out there though there's a lot of dads out there I'm just saying like in general I'm not feeling great when my phone buzzes it's annoying at the very least and so Yeah, it's just, we're being completely, like, obviously conditioned by this shit. And so, yeah, every fucking week, these, like, weirdos that, again, you're never going to cross pass with. You're never going to meet Candace Owens. You're never going to meet Sean Hannity.

You're never going to meet Nick Fuentes. You're never going to meet President Trump. You're never going to meet Jerome Powell. You're never going to meet these people. They're not, they're, they're completely irrelevant. But somehow they've become part of our family. They're with us all the time. And so the reason that is is because we keep looking at these fucking black rectangles.

And none of it matters. You can't stop what's coming anyway. And I don't know that sounds like a sinister thing to say. I don't know what's coming. Nothing new, I'll tell you that. Nothing new. Same shit. It's just going to be the same shit.

It's going to be the same fucking ice cube shape. You know, it might be a different color because somebody, because you use food coloring. It's the same fucking cube. It's just going to keep coming. And so then you have to ask yourself, how much control do I have over my condition response to negative stimulus in my life. And you have a lot of control over that, by the way. But the first step is you've got to untether yourself from the fucking

katulu whose tentacle you've allowed into every orifice of your body. That's step one. There's enough stimuli out there that is going to rightfully make you anxious. Why add more to that? But then you have to start asking yourself, do I need to feel like at a low-level state of anxiety all the time? Does that make any sense at all? Do I, is me feeling anxious doing anything to make me more productive, to make me more effective? No, why would it?

Really, theoretically that you could look at your anxiety and make it non-neurotic by, recognizing it as energy, I guess, and learn to focus it. But this brings me to my book recommendation. I know I've already talked about it. I'm almost done with it. Can you please pull up psycho-cyberetics? Dude, I've been looking at self-help books for a long fucking time. In this book, this is like the real shit. Like it works. Like this stuff works. It's kind of like musty and old and so and it's funny in that way I like some of the things he's talking about feel like very much from like the 60s and stuff but uh like people like he's a lot of getting ready for like a fancy party I guess that was more important in the 60s but

if you really want to like it also by the way it it feels a little bit like some of the shit I've heard about like MK Ultra stuff like it feels like that a little bit, but I like that stuff. But the premise of this book is just incredible. And what I really love about it is it's like, well, just try the methods in this book and then 30 days, see how you feel. And I, so I was like, sure, I'll try that. It totally works. This is like a very effective, very interesting methodology that mirrors a lot of like things. In fact, I would say that like what we call chaos magic. Can you pull up Lieber, No, I think is what it's called?

Liber, and it's a space between it. Yeah. Yeah. Leber Noe Latin for Empty Book or Noe Book refers to the foundational text of Chaos Magic written by Peter Carroll, which presents a radical eclectic system of magic blending modern science with ancient occultism emphasizing belief as a malleable tool for achieving personal transformation.

and altering reality. Belief is a tool. A central tenet is that belief isn't a fixed truth, but a temporary state that could be changed or switched to achieve magical effects, drawing from quantum physics ideas. So that idea is all over psychosyberetics. And basically what it's saying is,

if you habituate to worrying, which many of us do, like we've got like, the next time you get a real like neurotic pain or you start feeling really nervous or like bad just look at what you're thinking about and you're probably thinking about something you're worried about you're thinking about some problem in your life some impending problem or something in the past that you feel bad about or that where you were hurt or traumatized or whatever and so um where there seems to be some similarity between psychosyberetics and chaos. chaos magic is chaos magic is saying you can replace that thing in your mind with anything uh with with with cybernetics it's saying you know pick out a few moments in your life that were good and just start thinking about that instead of thinking about what your problems are and look what happens to you it sounds so obvious that yeah if you stop worrying and in like fixating on shit in your life that's going wrong and

just start thinking about times where things things went right, your mood state changes and that we, since you can rehabilitate yourself so that your primary mode of thinking is not impending dangers or things that have happened in the past that have hurt you, but your primary mode of thinking is a kind of realistic sort of optimism that you are reminding yourself of like actual, like, great things that have happen to you, moments where you've succeeded. And psychosyberetics is saying it doesn't have to be anything big. You don't need some crowning moment in your life that you keep bringing up.

Just something simple. Something that isn't even that exciting. You just need something to replace your worried mind to replace those thoughts with. Whoa. It totally fucking works. I think probably where chaos magic might go a little like into a more esoteric realm is that chaos magic is saying you can invoke you know certain deities and those deities don't have to be real those deities don't have to have existed it doesn't matter like you could literally

like pray to harry potter for example or you can like allow the spirit of gandolph into you into you and use that personality to navigate you know whatever your problems are and the point being that it's like yeah i mean obviously was gandolph the gray real i don't want to say no but probably not but the archetype behind that is real and that sort of personality formation is real and that by communing with various entities whether they're real fictional characters or mythological characters there's no difference and you can use that as simply to repopulate your identity with something less fucked up and neurotic and it just works. And I, but also I think chaos magic is saying you can actually make shit in your environment

change, which, by the way, psychosyberetics is kind of alluding to that too, you know. And so I would recommend getting offline, step one, step two, read that book, step three, just go to a glory hole there's a lot in Austin I've heard and see what happens see what happens what if we're looking at the problem

in the wrong way because we're constantly getting our nervous system stimulated so that anxiety is like a prickly blanket that we put on and when you take that off it's like well now I'm cold now I you know what I mean

and so it's like we need that anxiety to feel because when we don't feel anything that's scary yeah what are we? What are we? without our anxiety how do I even exist at all yeah like if you've been identifying with your anxiety if that's your personality which is like a lot of neurotics it's like the the anxiety is literally the spinal cord of their identity and so you pull the fucking spine out of your identity and now what are you this is why people and I you know I do it too this is why self-sabotage happens

this is why people can be in a fairly good situation and then we'll fuck it up up because they want that spine of nervousness, anxiety. They want to confirm reality as a horrible place. And so they reignite some fire that they just put out over and over and over again. So yeah, exactly. That's a good observation, Josh, it's 100% real. The next time you find yourself even remotely happy, if you're a neurotic, you're like, shit, man, I'm dying over here. Like, I feel okay. There's no problems. I'm bored. I need to make things exciting again. And the reality is that you actually, it's where I think psychosyberetics is interesting from a kind of Buddhist perspective is like Buddhism is also pointing towards the emptiness,

fundamental emptiness of everything, including you. And overlayed on top of that emptiness is a set of habituations and patterns and things that you think of as your identity. But the core of the gobstopper is empty. There's nothing really there. And so I think Buddhism is more about like, well, why don't we just see what happens if we hang out in that place that you're talking about and just see what happens. This is where you start, the us and them starts going away. You merge with a greater whole. Whereas, you know, magic esotericism and I guess psychosyberetics, which honestly I would consider to be a grimor, it points more towards like the identity still being the predominant concern,

some fixation on like action in the world to create results. Not that Buddhism is saying becomes some passive fucking like jellyfish blobbing on the beach, but you know, whereas these things are like, here's a way that you could be better at baseball, like psycho-cybernetics, here's how to get your golf swing better. Buddhism is more like, hey, why don't we stop incarnating over and over again in the infinite cycle of samsara? Because it never works out here. And so, but still, they both are pointing

towards this sort of empty core within human identity that you just tend to fill up with whatever your primary mode of thinking is. So if you're like anxious and nervous and you think you live in hell and everything's fucked up and you live in a hopeless world, look at the content of your thoughts and you will find that the content of your thoughts match that mood state change the thoughts watch what happens to the inner universe the two go hand in hand is that what as below as above so below me could be yeah could be absolutely yeah but i i would recommend that that book now let me go completely in the other direction of what i was just talking about because I did say I have been going online. I think this is one last thing before we

before I talk to some of you guys out there. Josh, pull up. So I know many of you probably know about this. You know about Polly Market. Polymarket is a place where you can essentially invest in trends what you think is going to happen. It's a betting site but for world events, right? there it is polymarket Fed decision in January will Trump release Epstein files Maduro out by but pull up the one I texted you Josh

Let me look on my text Give me one second This is really interesting Because on polymarket all of a sudden Somebody like invested a lot of money Into betting On whether or not Basically saying Trump is going to like do disclosure soon

And so polymarket has actually been fairly accurate when it comes to like predicting elections and stuff like that. It's, you know, because people don't want to lose money. But here you see this interesting thing happened. All of a sudden, somebody invested a shit ton of money into this fucking thing. And now it's saying there's an over a 99% chance that by the end of the year, Trump is going to declassify UFO files. By the end of the next year. Oh, before 2027. But this just fucking leaped up.

Yeah, it was at 30%. Hold on one second. Let me just find this real quick. This episode of the DTFH is brought to you by my friends at Ridge. Look at this baby. Friends, take a look. I've had this wallet. I don't know for at least a year at this point.

And just look, look at this. I've never kept a wallet this long, as far as I'm aware, ever. And it's just as good as it was when I got it. Somehow this strap where you put your cash, it has survived. makes no sense to me, why or how that works. But even better, the elasticity in this thing, it's exactly the same. These things are powerhouses. Now, you know, when I'd seen like Ridge Wallets out there, I was a little skeptical regarding

like taking cards out and all of that because, you know, up until that point, I've been using like crappy old garbage leather wallets to get nasty. you put them in your ass and you sit on them i'm not literally you know what i mean you put them in your back pocket you know what i mean you don't put them in your original wallet and they get hot and they just sort of break whatever whatever's in that leather breaks down they get all bloated and weird and it's embarrassing this thing this looks like i'm about to throw a smoke bomb and assassinate somebody man this shit is ninja technology and it's easy to get your cards out, for example, my Neem Groly Baba picture along with. Let's see what else is in here.

I can't show you all my cards, though. Let me see here, you fucking hackers, you're priority scanning some shit. Do I have anything interesting in this thing? Anyway, it doesn't matter. The point is, I've got a picture of Maharaji in here. I could fill this up with like a billion hotel keys because I travel so much and for some reason I don't throw my hotel keys away. It's It feels like it could take a bullet They're not telling me to say that I'm just saying it feels like that This is incredible

So if you're a wallet destroyer As I am This could be your final wallet Not only that I don't even know if this is in the ad read But they have the coolest charger ever That they sent me and I love it It's one of those magnetic chargers

And it's also made of whatever the steel is Which I'm probably supposed to read What that is by the way I'm sorry Ridge I really like their wallet. Now you can say hello to Ridge 2.0. What the hell? I want one.

The most refined version of the Ridge wallet. Ridge has been perfecting the wallet for 12 years. Everything is better on the Ridge 2.0. It's 10% lighter. Every gram matters in the Ridge wallet 2.0. They found the perfect balance. They made it more modular with improved castraps, money clips, and the air tag attach. I won.

I got 1.0 and I love it. for a limited time Ridge is having their huge holiday sale head to R-I-D-G-E dot com to get up to 47% off your order this is by far the biggest discount they've given all year that's ridge.com for up to 47% off your order

during their biggest sale of the year after you purchase they will ask you where you heard about them please support our show and tell them the DTFH sent you. Thank you, Rich. It was at 30%

and it just leaped up. Yeah, December 6th. Now, pull up the other thing that I sent you, Josh. Okay. The Epstein thing. It's on the same text? Yeah, it's the next text.

You don't even need to pull it up. The deadline for the release... This one. What? Is it this one? The Epstein thing? No. No, no, no.

I text it. It doesn't matter. It's a screenshot. The deadline for the release of the Epstein files is... Do you know where that is? December 9. 19th. December 19th.

So suddenly somebody pours a bunch of money in a polymarket that Trump is going to release declassify some kind of UFO shit but it

happens right before the fucking Epstein files legally have to be released. Makes you wonder, man. Makes you wonder. You know, because if there was ever a time that Trump was going to do disclosure, it seems like it would coincide with

the release the Epstein files. It makes sense. A lot of the times I don't buy into the false flag bullshit that, but it seems like if you were looking for a good bet that he's going to say something about the aliens, it seems like a pretty easy bet. I really might take it. Yeah, for every 60 cents. 66 cents you win a dollar.

But if no, let me see. 36 cents, you can win a dollar. 36 cents you win a dollar. I'm not saying do it. I'm just saying based on the way like any time like some kind of fucked up shit's about to happen that we're not supposed to look at, it does seem like a UFO

related thing happens. Because it really grabs our attention. I guess the volume is relatively small on that, though, right? I mean, if you, hold on me see. It's a million. The volume's like a million. Well, if you bet a hundred, you can win. And this is if you bet, no, it's $277 you can win.

Yeah, see, the reason I'd want to do it now, and the reason I think somebody invested so much right now is because, um, see, look, see that trade, somebody dropped 25K on it. Mm-hmm. that's crazy like to put $25,000 into something so insane people put 25,000 in fart coin so you know what's fart coin how's it doing it's actually gone down recently yeah yeah who would have thought I know not good down 37 cents oh that's too bad yeah it's up 8% today Oh, wow!

That's incredible. Fark coins going up, guys. Thanks for that, Josh. Should have invested. You got to tell me about these meme coins. I always missed the boat. I invested in Pepecoin. Got fucked.

I'd just hold it eventually go up when Ethereum goes up. It's not going to go up. Well, they're about to print a lot of money, so... They are? Yeah. I don't know. I don't have time to... But speaking of investment...

I'm going to show you guys something that I'm about to drop. So if you guys actually want to invest in something powerful, I almost don't want to show this right now because I don't have the shirt up, but it will be up maybe for some of you listening right now. Check this out, guys. It's going to blow your mind. French artist Des Juan Coulaix made this for me.

he was a fan of Midnight Gospel and I had him design this amazing shirt for me I'm not going to say anything else about it till I find it Josh I'm going to just air drop this to you I guess Okay

Fiddle at me yeah here you go Did you get that or did I send it to the wrong thing Nothing yet Hold on should be the Macbook you know what i'll text it to you okay this artist is like i've been a fan of his forever and it was so cool when i saw he followed me on instagram uh and we just started talking and uh yeah he said he would design a shirt for me so and he did it's beautiful and um i'm about to release these things things

but here you go, Josh. Wait do you see this? You know, like when you see the work of a master artist, it just, you just know it. It's incredible how they can, how they could just put their soul into their art, you know, how like it's more than just a drawing. Come on.

It's got to verify Adobe Acrobat. I always wonder what that means. Come on, open up. Would it help if I sent you a JPEG? No, it should open up eventually. Here we go. There you go, guys. Take a look at that.

These shirts are going to be released in time for Christmas. This is, again, made by one of the most extraordinary artists of all time. This is the guy who taped himself to the Eiffel Tower and covered himself with Hornets. He made this for me. As you could see, it says Operation Beast Blast. We've got a picture of the pyramids. Bye-bye. And so this is a way for you to actively participate in the movement,

which I'm proud to say that I started to blow up the pyramid and this is a way that you could be out there on the street and you know I'm going to call it a dog whistle you wear this thing and other people many of you are working covertly I understand that some people feel like their lives get put in danger when they start participating in Operation Beast blast

but for those of you who aren't as afraid or who aren't cowards, no offense, to those of you have been working under cover. Wear this shirt proudly. Give this shirt to your grandparents. They will love it. And wear this shirt, wherever you go, order multiple shirts so you could wear every day of the week.

Operation Beast Blast, for those of you just joining us, is my mission to get more subscribers than Mr. Beast. How many subscribers does Mr. Beast have right now? Let's check. Mr. Beast has 454 million. 454 million. Where are we at now?

And subscribers right now, Josh. We are at 161,000. So we have got some work to do to get up there to 451 million. But once I get up that high, then at that point, based on what my business managers tell me, my income stream will be so powerful that I will be able to finish the negotiations that I've been engaging in now, I just say throw your hat over the fence, to buy the pyramids and destroy them.

Now, a lot has happened since the beginning of Operation Beast Blast, which I think is worth noting. I have been talking about Operation Beast Blast since this new iteration of the DTEs. on YouTube. Since then, can you just pull up, don't show the video, but just pull up, Mr. Beast goes into the pyramids. Got it. Since then, coincidentally,

Mr. Beast, and what I would call an egregious and aggressive response, I spent 100 hours inside the pyramids. he's mocking us he's mocking us he goes into the fucking pyramids it's like a dog pissing on a tree i don't give a fuck that he's been in the pyramids i don't care that doesn't make you own the

pyramids and my insiders at egypt are he i'm not going to say for sure he's been trying to buy them but let me just put it this way he's been trying it i think and he can't he can't they're not fans. And so another thing that's happened, can you pull up Doppler, uncover structures under the pyramids? Do you think any of this is coincidence, gang? Look at, yeah, pull up any of those pictures. A new study using advanced radar technology might have uncovered a massive underground system beneath the pyramids of Giza. We don't have to play it.

I just want to point out that all of these things started happening after Operation Beast Blast started. Why are they suddenly leaking that there's objects under the fucking pyramids? Because they know I'm about to blow them the fuck up. And people are going to be pissed when they see that directly under there is a fucking dark series of evil columns shooting, bad, bad, energy into our atmosphere in corrupting the consciousness of all human beings as well as the environment you think global warming is being caused by fossil fuel emissions give me a fucking

break wake the fuck up you really think that you think climate change is happening because of too many cars no it's happening because of those fucking pyramids those fucking pyramids those fucking pyramids are pointing right at the goddamn sun in one of the hottest places on earth basically that if you want to know the fucking knob on the hot tub it's the fucking pyramids and these motherfucking pharaohs they left it on high and just died you think you really think egypt was always that fucking hot you think mummification happens from removing the organs from a fucking mummy and wrapping it in bullshit? No.

Mummification happens because the fucking pyramids are basically air friars. You stick a fucking pharaoh in there. It just withers them up. And then you wrap them up. Throw people off the trail. The point is this. Operation Beast Blast is real. And Operation Beast Blast is a threat to global powers.

And they don't want you to know what's under there. And what's under there is no different than what's in your fucking microwave. And once we blow those fuckers up, we're going to keep going down, baby. We're going to keep going down until all this left is a big ass fucking hole where there used to be pyramids. And I would say within a month, within a month, we're going to see the end of earthquakes, continental drift, which they want you to believe is a natural part of living on. the planet they tricked us into thinking that they want you to believe that the continents actually are supposed to move they're not they're not supposed to move they should stay still does that make any sense to anyone like that's the first red flag your fucking continents are actually moving

don't get me started about the poles shifting none of this is supposed to be happening and the sun was never this fucking hot and why is the sun hot well because the pyramid is essentially a middle finger that for thousands of years has just been pointing at the sun fuck you son fuck you and it's pissing it off And it's getting hotter. Look at the solar flares. Josh, pull up solar flare. Video or just pictures? Just news.

News on solar flares. I'm sure there's one coming. Oh, what do you know? Three days ago. NOAA forecast strong geomagnetic storm for Tuesday. What to expect? Mass of solar flare hits Earth. Watch the skies.

Powerful solar eruption will hit the Earth tonight. Earth will be covered by our red level. magnetic storm on December fucking 12th. Oh, what do you know? It's December 12th. You think that's a coincidence? This isn't your fucking refrigerator talking to you. This is me talking directly to you. And I mean you, not everybody else. And I am telling you, God sent me into your house to tell you that you have to help me destroy these fucking pyramids. It's your job. And the best way to do that will be to order those shirts which will be available at dunkett rustle.com by the end of the day. Wear it.

Participate. Don't be like these other motherfuckers taking big shits watching Nick Fuentes yap on the fucking internet. I'm sorry, but I haven't heard Nick Fuentes say one fucking thing about blowing up those pyramids. Huh? What do you know? What do you know? While Candice Owens is blathering about whether or not fucking McCrone's wife, wife has a big old fat fucking hog.

I'm trying to blow up the goddamn fucking pyramids. I'm sorry, I'm getting a little heated. But I'm sure Moses got heated too when God called him to Egypt. And let me tell you, they changed the fucking Bible because God didn't tell them to go to Egypt and set the Jews free. God said, go out there and blow those fucking shitty pyramids up. And they changed it because he was like, I can't do that. that. Well, that's the difference between me and Moses, I guess, because I can, and I will, and you

can help me. Our children and our children's children can live on a planet without pyramids. Don't be afraid to dream. This could happen. No more pyramids. Yeah, sure, the books will still be there. They might pick up an old National Geographic and see the pyramids and cry. I can't believe there was a time when there were pyramids. It's okay, honey. It's okay. I helped. You did? I did. You were part of Operation Beast Blast, Daddy? I was. I helped. And that's why those pyramids are gone. Subscribe. like, spread the message, get the shirt. God be with you. Hara Krishna.
