But if you're listening, well, five, thanks for joining us that way. It's great to have you along for this Friday on the front porch when we will, in short order, gather together and go over the river and through the woods to the old holler tree that we sublet from the Kiebler elves, wherein we keep the extraordinary, ordinary roundtable around which we gather each and every Friday. And, well, if you'd care to, you can always pop by the aforementioned Mary Wacky Zaney

and then check out and see who's hanging out there, the early arrivers, in this case, it's Ralphs and Squeaky and Sylvie. Hey, gang, happy Friday. Everyone, of course, capably moderated by Horn Chief Agronomist, chief mathematician, Bud Trimmer Emeritus, Zimmergist extraordinaire,

and both grower and preparer of some of the world's most delicious stuffed peppers. That's Roger in Oregon. Hi, I'm Roxanne, and we are at weeks end. You know, I got to say I miss the long gone howkin days when all we had to worry about was idiotic. Republicans who were convinced that Barack Obama was the Antichrist and who then turned around and voted for the actual Antichrist and put him in power. I mean, of course, nitwit andero. Simpler times, right?

Simpler times. But that ties in with the password. for today organic but i'm getting ahead of myself every program here at the horn begins with gratitude and that means uh thanks go out to our 13th day of the yes this program is live the program is always live i already announced the date but thanks go out to our 13th day of the month subscribers and contributors via PayPal. And so that means thanks to Gary and Gaia. Thank you so much for being partial sponsors of the program.

Where we stand, well, we are unfunded for the last five plus a little more of the sixth day. So all this week is unfunded in a little bit of last Friday, about $100 of last Friday. we'll just call the fundraising goal $1,600 and never mind the loose change. So, and again, thanks for keeping us away from the dreaded

$2,000 mark as we will have passed the halfway mark of the month of February by the time we're back talking on Monday, the 16th, okay? Yes. Quedrenic?

Silly, quidrenic? I sat, my, my, my speech, my speech modulator must be broken. No, the, the password is organic because, oh, Jesus. Well, the password is organic because Tim Burchett, a maggot, a maggot, goon, chud, racist, P-O-S has in the midst of a crisis in which it seems that every aspect of society and culture is negatively impacted

by the ongoing disgusting, revolting, repulsive, violent, hateful, you know, Epstein. matter. Well, Tim Burchett showed up to talk to Benny Johnson, arguably one of the stupidest people on the entire internet. And, well, like I said, there was a time when, like 27% of the American people said, yeah, Barack Obama is the anti-corporas. Barack Obama is the anti-corps. Christ, get the hockey puck. You can't throw me off my game. You can't, you see, is that, was that part of the, is that part of the Epstein evidence?

Is that part of the Epstein evidence file there? Yeah, it was in the file. Okay. I want to warn people about that file. You know, people have a sick fascination with this stuff. Yeah. And, you got kids. I got a daughter.

I would, I've been through this many times. with the legislation I've had in Tennessee and dealt with, you know, the officers that are involved with it and the awful things they say, this stuff is in these files. It makes all that pale in comparison. And if you're offered an opportunity to view the pictures or read the files, I would seriously consider not doing that. Because it will, it will haunt you, this stuff that's in there. And here's the problem. The Biden administration, the Obama administration, these files have been out there forever, forever.

And I've said this many times. If they had the goods on Trump, you know that the Obama administration slash the Biden administration because it never really changed hands. Are you getting the sense of just how stupid this is? Some of this stuff goes back to George W. Bush. no mention of him no no no no but let's see so two days ago we had jojo blondi uh telling the telling the congress that they should stop talking about epstein because

the Dow was over 50,000 points and now uh this this cornpone codger from east Tennessee is telling people, oh, don't, don't look at the Epstein files. Don't look at the photographs. You never know who you might see. And he really is a stupid man, Tim Burchett. So it makes it, it makes, well, you know how in math you have to make both sides of the equation balance. 6 plus 3 equals 8 plus 1 right same number on both sides 9 equals 9 well it's kind of the same thing with this conversation of this little benny johnson neo maxi zoom dweeby and tim birch it stupid equals stupid

It doesn't matter whether it's a, whether, whether, whether he's a, uh, a grits for brains hillbilly from East Tennessee or, uh, some metrosexual looking dude from God only knows where. The stupid is still the point. Uh, from billable, Rick. Roxanne, stop telling us that the program's live and not AI. We already know that today's. program program is a deep fake. Don't you get that started?

Listen, there's really not a lot of point. I have no idea why the radio radar, I have no idea why the website says what it says, I don't run it. I don't administer it. I seldom even make suggestions about it. But no. I mean, if you hear my voice,

and you hear me say it's the 13th of February, you can pretty well guess that it's live, or so I would think. But anyway, back to these two morans blathering away. Remember, the password is organic. They would have had that stuff out there, and this stuff just goes so deep, Benny. This stuff just goes so deep, Benny. No, they would not have had this stuff out there. You see, Tim Burchett is so goddamn dumb.

dumb, that he just assumes that everybody, every other government is as venal and corrupt and filthy as his own party's idea of governing, and particularly his orange Julius Geezer daddy. This stuff was out there for years. Let's see. when when did the FBI raid

Epstein Uh huh Now what did what did Goober here Say Heidi Goober What did Goober say I've had this stuff forever

Well Epstein was raided On July the 6th 2019 Guess who wasn't in office, Tim Burchett, you insufferable dipshit. That's right. Neither Biden nor Obama. But of course, Benny Johnson's not going to correct him because the purpose of all of this

is to just blow smoke up the skirts of all the rubes. Yeah, it's Obama. And we're not even the truly stupid part yet. And it is very disgusting to me. And, you know, it's evil. It's satanic. And it's from the pits of hell. And that's where these people will end up.

And I'd also warn people about, you know, Chairman Comer was putting these files out. And they were going through them. And they were redacting the names that needed to be redacted, the innocent ladies that were involved and all this stuff. and now, of course, the not so innocent billionaires. Because some of the names that should have been redacted were not redacted.

But the problem you have is is that they think that some of the girls that were involved later. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, string bean. It's not that some of the names, I mean, yeah, they deliberately outed the victims as a means of warning them to keep their mouths shut that was a shot across their bow by Jojo Blondie. But the real outrage is the names that were redacted in order to protect the guilty. You know, like Sultan Suleiman from over there in Dubai who sent the torture video that Jeffrey Epstein really enjoyed. Torture video. Really enjoyed.

So that's the really disgusting part is that this filthy DOJ wants to protect the actual perpetrators. This is a really stupid clip, I have to tell you. It became recruiters for Epstein. So, you know, at one point they're a victim and the next point, they're perpetuating a crime. So I'm not sure. And I don't know how the law works on that. that. You know, it's not, it's, I'm not a lawyer, but. Oh, we can tell you're talking about millions of pages. And again, who keeps millions of pages of illegal activity? It's just a weird thing. And I'm afraid, I don't know that all of it is, is legit. You know, you've got accusations and rumors. And, and clearly there's enough in there that's, that's awful. I mean, you've got the, a witness interview with the limo driver who wanted to pull his car over when he heard

Trump on the phone with Jeffrey Epstein talking about underage girls and sacks and he wanted to pull over and beat the holy hell out of Donald Trump and I wonder what those alternative timelines look like. So there's apparently an alternative universe where the guy does pull the car over beats the ever-loving shit out of Donald Trump long before he ever runs for president maybe even winds up out of his his enraged disgust beating the life out of Donald Trump happens then what's the what's the timeline like lee in New York saying not up to the stupid part yet Roxanne it's It's stupid all the way down.

Well, okay, point taken. And from Sylvie, organic passwords. How can you tell if the password's organic? Read the label and expect the password to cost more at Whole Foods. Well played. And, uh, Alt Lee pointing out that, uh, head on dot live says,

Live! Nice observation. Thank you. and I'll get that I'll try to get to that in a moment Kim Kim in New York says our health is in danger happy Valentine's Day to you in Victoria thank you

I was a little bit slow on the draw on the place I wanted to take her for dinner tomorrow night is booked solid well we'll get to it oh it's a lovely lovely place to do Cajun and Creole and I was really looking forward to it They had a beef carpaccio on the specials menu for the appetizer as well as grilled oysters.

But Kim asks, Roxanne, could you please provide some wisdom as to why this administration and their sycophants want to dismantle the institutions and programs that we've built and created to protect our health? Is it pure misanthropy? I think that's part of it, but you have to understand. And maybe this actually ties in with the... rest of the clip or where the clip's going these these people are monsters and some of them are are i would not be at all surprised to find out malfusians they believe in a coming big die-off And they assume that whoever manages the die-off the best rules the world. But it's not quite as simple as that.

In a major social and societal and cultural collapse, a lot of other stuff collapse with it, like the ability to accomplish certain ends. You know, there was a single, well, limited run series on HBO, back in 2021 called Station 11 Joy loved it

I loved it I've rewatched it a couple of times and it's quite apocalyptic and you get a sense for what it must look like for the world

to just simply go away but Kim these are resource hoarding monsters and if if people they and they've got a touch of the buzzard and the and the and that you know the fly about them they feel they feed on dead flesh and well we go back to the i remember

when george and corsegold reminded us of that clip from it's Robert Ryan and Bert Lancaster, 1973, executive action talking about how to control the world after killing off the undesirables. And in that movie clip, they expressly say the black people, the brown people, and the poor whites. When you consider who the ideological drivers of the maggot movement are, and I'm not talking about Trump,

he doesn't have any intellectual heft. Now, I'm talking about the real goons who talk about wanting an American monarchy. Well, the guy who inspires Peter Thiel, who considers himself a Christian, and is all just a wash in millennialist and apocalyptic visions of global conflict and people being disappeared into the sky and whatnot. That, Kim, is as close as I can get to an explanation for why these monsters behave in such monstrous fashion. Back we go to Tim Burchett because, well, Lee said it's stupid all the way down. Lee is correct.

But might as well find out just how stupid. But it's just, I don't think this is, I don't think we're ever going to get to the bottom of it. So, well, like, so the, Catherine Rumler is the big news this morning because she resigned from Goldman Sachs. She was Obama's personal White House attorney. Personal attorney. Like, Obama's the one, Obama's the one who's like sort of skated on this. And nobody's really brought up his name. But wait a second, like the vast majority of Epstein's most heinous crimes took place while Barack Obama was president.

Yep. Jeffrey Epstein got out of jail right as Barack Obama was being put into office. And all of this stuff was going on. And it's his lawyers, the White House counsel who's communicating with this pedophile, this convicted now, convicted, sentenced pedophile. And she's like teaheehing, doing favors for him through Obama. Obama is like signing executive orders. You can like tie all this back, the Rothschild Bank. like he's like doing all this stuff and he's like somehow like obama's getting zero pushback on

this why nobody asking obama like why do you do something about geoffrey epstein did you notice the convenient insertion of the name rothschild there in the maundrous stylings with bennie johnson certifiable idiot well that's that's the name you use if you're not going to use sorrows but what you want to imply it here. Mouthwalking, knuckle breathing, faithful is the Jews. Mm-hmm. And here, I'm going to do a little magic trick.

Y'all can do it with me. What? A lawyer associated with Barack Obama was in contact with Jeffrey Epstein? What? Cool. Hang her to. Tumblr for table table.

tumbril for table two yeah see how easy why isn't anyone i don't know why it does does the name of baroque obama appear in the files 58 thousand times like it does for dim leader julius geyser Tangerine Tiberius, Clementine Caligula, Cancals, Caligula? Ah, does it? But in the case of these two low-rent clowns, they couldn't care less about the victims. Their job is to try to divert attention away from their sick and possibly dying Orange Jesus. because when the roll is called down yonder,

they want it to be known that they did their best to protect one of the most monstrous pedophiles that humanity has ever known. They must be so proud. I know. Rout says, what the fuck? Barack Obama? Uh-huh.

The upcoming die-offly in New York says, I predict that the anti-vaxers go first, followed by the raw milk drinkers. Mm-hmm. Or the people who looking back to yesterday's program the people who snorted cocaine off toilet seats they'd seem to be high on the list of folks who might not make it yeah that's so true sylvie behind these vile bastards is vladimir putin the malfusians or nihilists are useful tools but the intellect guiding them

is vladdy daddy he vowed as the soviet union fell that he would get revenge on the USA. Along came Trump, the Swiss Army knife of fools, wealthy and so easily led by the dick and well-placed compliments. DJT's stupidity played into Putin's schemes perfectly. Think about it. Everything Krasnov has done has been to fray and weaken the social structural schemes perfectly. Think about it.

Everything. Nothing else fits as perfectly. This being the case, there will be others to take Trump's place if he fails. Putin plans things like an onion. Layer after layer after layer. Yeah, it's one of those Russian nesting dolls. Truly, we are doomed, and it will be Russia that destroys us. And perhaps humanity along with.

That's a solid analysis, Sylvie. Antichrist, Bill Bill Bill Bill Ricks says, of course it was Obama. Everyone knows he was the Antichrist. I've done seen the pictures. Oh, I know, I know. Makes your brain ache. But Lordy, we still got a lot of stupidity in this clip to get through. President Obama was created.

He was not, he's not organic. I mean, you picked. And there we have the password. Uh-huh. I'm going to back that up here because I don't want to talk over it or through it. I want you to hear it. so that you'll know that, oh, silly old Auntie Roxanne isn't just making up audio or nothing. No, no, you heard it.

You're going to hear it again. For him, through Obama, Obama is like signing executive orders. You can, like, tie all this back, the Rothschild Bank. Like, he's, like, doing all this stuff. And he's, like, somehow, like, Obama's getting zero pushback on this? Why have nobody asking Obama, like, why do you do something about Jeffrey Epstein? Because President Obama was created. He was not, he's not organic.

I mean, you pick this obscure guy from college. You has zero records. You have college professors that don't remember him ever being there. And he runs. And he's, and all of a sudden people drop out of races and he's unopposed. And he goes from a state senator to a U.S. senator. Woo! to an unknown to be impressed in the United States

because he was created. They found somebody that fit their mold. It's the classic. I went back and watched it a couple days ago, the Brady Bunch, or Greg was wanting to be a great musician, you know, and he was... Wait.

Now, I know. I know I'm known... I have a tendency to make obscure references, but... And we'll get the rest of this one. Barack Obama, I don't really need to say this, but, well, we're making a record here. Barack Obama's entire life is traceable. It was so traceable that Tim Burchett's orange daddy screamed and screamed to the top of his ugly orange lungs that Barack,

he was really born in Kenya. He's not really an American. And I want to see the long-form birth certificate. Yes, Ralphs, I agree wholeheartedly. This guy is, in my opinion, bat-shick crazy. He is. He's been huffing the... He's been huffing the Trumpian spice melanomange from Dune.

Remember, it kind of had an orange color to it? Yeah, if you remember the David Lynch films? No, nobody ever knew what... And he went to college or something. He went to the Ivy League. Of course they couldn't see him. He was black. And, well, I say, I say, doctor, yes, professor, is that like a new, a small neutron star sitting there in the back of the classroom?

Well, I don't know. I've never seen such a thing. Fabio. Don't ruin the Brady bunch for me, damn it. It's been over for decades. I don't think you can hold me or Tim Burchett responsible if there's a spoiler involved here, Flavio. Oh, my nose.

Oh, my nose. Oh, my nose. Marsh and marsha, marsha. Pork chops and apple shots. There, done the entire Brady bunch. But, yeah, Tim Burchett's going to explain. Barack Obama via a Brady bunch. God, I picked a bad day to quit huff and glue.

To a U.S. Senator to an unknown to be impressed in the United States because he was created. They found somebody that fit their mold. It's the classic. I went back and watched it a couple days ago, the Brady Bunch, or Greg was wanting to be a great musician, you know, and he was playing. He went back and watched it. Jim Crocey stuff or something. and I don't know. And look up who Jim Carci is.

He was great. But he had some kind of ballads that were kind of romantic and sad, you know. And so Greg's this guy and he goes in and this record studio and they're like, yeah, man, yeah, we're really digging what you're putting down, you know. And then he says, and the lady. If this program suddenly goes off the air, you'll know that I have cringed so hard. that i have collapsed upon myself like the aforementioned neutron star yeah man yeah we love what you're putting down you can you can you can look up jim croce

i mean he was real cool man i don't think jim crocey would have liked you tim birchit i don't think jim croce would have liked you at all i mean it's it's very almost epsteinish and she says she says oh i'm never wrong about these things well the guy that they had Johnny Bravo had quit before they could make him a star and they'd already bought his suit and Greg fit that suit. Wait, I feel almost silly asking this, but at what point in time did this conversation go off the rails between Benny Johnson sitting with his gaseous looking little smirk on his face and his smart boy glasses and Tim Burchett pontificating?

Johnny Bravo? Did he just elide the Brady Bunch with a cartoon network animated series from like the 90s? Like it were a much. Well, you know, it's a Friday, Flavio. Flavio, Jim Croce is nothing sacred anymore. Jim Crocey, really? Yeah, cool, dude. We really like what you're laying down.

You're so hip. Let him go now. letting go now letting everything go Jesus, crime, uh, Sylvie. Jim Crocey wasn't cool.

He was groovy. Get with the program. You get fab, daddy, oh. Gear fab, daddy, oh. Yeah. Keen,

needo. I mean, we're not even on the timeline. We're not even up to bitching yet. No, this isn't. earth shattering, but it is mind-numbingly stupid. And so then they tried to make him a rock, and he was going to be a rock star,

but because of his, you know, his slave to his, his art form or whatever, he couldn't do it, which is total bogus. Anybody given that opportunity to take that chance. But that's the way Obama was. I'm struggling with a profound urge to simply close the microphone and walk away and just, maybe just bounce my head off of these concrete walls for a little while just to get a little relief from the waves of stupidity

that are just rolling through my mind yeah Tim Tim Burchett just offered up his disagreement with the plausibility of a plotline from the Brady bunch from what 1973 maybe he would have preferred the plot line

wherein Greg instead went out and had a homosexual relationship so as to avoid being drafted to go to Vietnam huh oh no no no wait no let's stay

now there we are Tim Burchett wants a different plot line Greg Brady goes and hangs out with an up-and-coming rocker and shits and pisses him and doesn't bathe for a solid week so as to keep from having to go to Vietnam, that of course would be someone of whom Tim Burchett, I'm sure, is quite fond, namely Dan Nugent. Time in a bottle, going back to the Jim Croce references,

time in a bottle, Flavio says, I just keep it there. Jesus! Sometimes, you know, sometimes I do, as I sit here talking, I think about where all of you are when you're listening at any given time of the day or night. And the way some of these things make me feel, I wonder, I kind of visualize what it's doing to y'all. You know, Roger, working out in the garden, guy's little spade and just sticks it and stabs it into the grid. God damn it. and then Flavio Flavio tranquil, peaceful, unflappable Flavio and you hear that and probably just throws a rock through his window

just to purge the bad ju-ju Sylvie says, you know you're a boomer when you remember mom washing out your mouth with soap the first time you accidentally used the word bitchin in her. hearing life boy man breakfast of champions oh sylvie wait a minute you never got you never got your mouth washed out with octagon soap who that that was the Everest of getting your mouth washed out with soap because it was a huge bar octagon was actually not hand washing soap but laundry soap and it kind of had this amber color to it and while it may have looked roughly the same color

or as honey or maple syrup. It did not taste that way. No. You know, he fit the suit. And he was, he's a good luck, an articulate guy. And he's clean, too.

You know, had a couple of kids and came up through the corrupt Chicago machine. Wait, Tim Burchett, are you not going to get around to calling Michelle a man?

Was all this, was all this a, a backhanded way to deflect away from the tweet from a week ago where where a dumb-ass diocletian

reposted an image of Barack and Michelle as apes. If so, this is some this is some top shelf poisonous 11th dimensional chess. And that's, and

you know, you've got several in Congress there just like that several the squad i mean they you had billionaires putting money behind probably 30 or 40 different candidates across the country and they hit on yeah how many lobbyist checks do you sign every month timmy oh if ever there was a timmy who needed to spend some time down a well there he is oh hi tamara camera camera says visualize funny you say that jimmy's kid lives right down the street he's at least 50 maybe 60 l and a oh well maybe he could write a strongly worded letter to timbret telling him to keep his uh his amazing father's name out of tim burchett's filthy fucking uh two or three teeth short of a full set mouth it's wearisome i

tell you it's wearisome on a half you know AOC, they hit on a bunch of them. And that's how they got there. And we've got to start realizing this. And the conservatives just aren't good at creating anybody. Creating anybody. They created you, Tim Burchett, you dumbass. But there's something else at work here, and it's pernicious.

Notice what Tim Burchett does. There's no evidence that AOC or Ilhan Omar or Ayanna Presley or Rashida Taleb were created by anyone, but they are, however, brown women, and therefore they cannot possibly have the dignity and intelligence of your average cracker-ass bleach blonde Marsha, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, Triple X Blackburn. Also from Tennessee and wanting to be governor thereof. Well, you see what kind of an evening it's probably going to be.

Damn. And then while we were, while most of us were probably sleeping, last night, Bovine Gregory, the man who once you have seen him and realized that he looks like a, shriveled little 95-year-old lesbian. You can't unsee it. But following Daddy's lead, Bovine Gregory,

the hateful hillbilly, apparently couldn't get to sleep and started, well, he ran over to X and posted excrements all over the place. Literally at this, testifying in Congress and getting questions about how they're covering up the investigation into the biggest child sexual abuse are right you know in modern times and like simultaneously they're

pardoning people that are committing child sex abuse I couldn't be more on the nose the bulwark hello and welcome to the bulwark podcast I'm your host Tim Miller uh delighted to welcome back one of our faves he's a former member of congress from Illinois he served in the air force and air national guard he's the founder of country first they got a new campaign to push back on the politicization of the National Guard. It's also on substack with the rest of us. He's in the gym a lot. He's doing peptides.

It's Adam Kinsinger. Hey, buddy, what's going on? Good to be back with you, man. It's going to spend a minute. Yeah. And, you know, we just put this on the calendar. We didn't know what's going to be happening. And this is insane.

We could do nine hours of podcasts and today with all the shit. Just pick a day, though. It's like insane every freaking day. I mean, so, yeah, much to cover. We've got to start with Pam Bondi, unfortunately. It's unpleasant. Oh, dear. I don't know where we're going to

Well, let's see if I can scrub to a place where they show a picture of Bovvvvon Gregory. Now, this is how you do a podcast. This thing's full of ads. Get 25% off when you... I guess not. Well, I'll have to read the quotes instead. They were both of them a bit gobsmacked by what they were reading. Adam Kinsinger saying, he has to have been hammered, right?

with Miller saying he lost his sense of purpose. He found his purpose, which was menacing and intimidating people on the streets of the cities, and that's been taken away from him. Now he's just doing gross reply guy material again. It does feel gross and should be condemned, but it also feels like a victory. Feels very sad, like what he's been reduced to now. It's very sad as he did things like asking a reporter who covers, nitwit Nero and his goon squads to make him a pie and later and weirder still telling some randot nobody maggot account that he and i don't know if it's organic or not but he want he bovine gregory wants to try beaver meat and along the way saying that he has

He'd never tried Beaver, but he has had raccoon. You know, when you get too deep into that old panther piss, things go sideways. They do. It's just a weird, it's just a weird wrap-up to the week. Breaking news that, and she's within the right demographic for it, that junior millennial, Caroline real poo-poo leave it alone is secretly, you know, after having attacked bad bunny relentlessly. I think it's very ironic and frankly sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves trying to just demonize again.

Law enforcement, public servants who work for the United States government to enforce our nation's laws. It says the pro-life spokes creep for the White House who, you know, got filled. her injections while she was growing a bun in the oven and still is. And, uh, well, let's see, 2025, Caroline posted, 2025, wow, what a year. Married the love of my life. Well, two of my lives would make up one of his. Uh, moved our little family to D.C. Conquered one year on a job as White House press secretary.

Traveled the world with the president of the United States, made lifelong memories with co-workers who have become family. And most importantly, soaked up every second watching my little boy grow into a toddler. Safe to say, it's been a year that I will never forget. Thank you, Jesus, for all of these blessings and for all of those you already have in store for 2026. Mm-hmm. And the funny thing is, the background music for her tweet or her Instagram post, the background music's bad bunny.

one user noting she low-key loves him like the rest of us oh caroline you got some spleenin to do but all the real journalists have been run out of the white house press room so nobody is going to ask him yeah ask her a hard question like that although it would be fun if somebody would ask Cankles Caligula himself what he thinks of his press secretary using Bad Bunny's music

as her background music Oh, thank you. Jessica, up in the greater metropolitan Rochester Co-Prosperity sphere, $10 to celebrate my return to work full-time at Mayo and to observe tomorrow, which would have been my

eighth wedding anniversary. Also, Croce, see my note in Messenger. So, we're at 1590. Thank you, Jessica. Or, yeah, 1590. And Jessica says, Crocey almost perfectly described me in the second verse of roller derby queen. She was 5 feet 6 and 2.15, a bleached blonde bomber with a streak of mean, but she knew how to scuffle and she knew how to knuckle and fight.

And the roller derby program said she were built. like a refrigerator with a head. Her fans all call her Tuffy, but all our buddies call her Spike. I'm 5-9-199. And all-natural platinum blonde, says, Jessica. Roller Derby Clean, go round and round and round and round. Let's see here. Probably need to get the old holler tree fired up.

Thank you. It looks like we got a good group gathered in the old holler tree. Let's run over and see what folks are up to. Hey, y'all. Hey, Jeremy. Hey, Roger. Oh, Robin. There was a little break up there.

I'm not sure why. Okay. All better now. It's been a heck of a vacation week here. I've literally sat in my house for seven days Monday, so I haven't done much. Just, is it a weather thing? No, it's not one other thing. We've got all snow in the world.

It's a snowmail thing. And the fact that my truck needs to work, so I put it to the tour on Monday. And he said, do you need right back to pick it up later today? I looked at my left. I said, it's not going to be done today. And, well, they told us Thursday or Friday, and I called yesterday. And the technician that was working on it was quite snippy and said, I talked to your boss, didn't he tell you?

I told him tomorrow or Monday. So as soon as he said tomorrow on Monday, I know he meant Monday. So I've been without a vehicle for a whole seven days. So I pity people without vehicles now. I know what it's like. But to get back to the main story, Super Bowl Sunday, everyone's enjoying their game, watching their halftime, doing all the fun stuff. And I decided I'd take a little ride down to the lake.

It's about a mile from my house. And perfectly safe. It's a foot thick on the bay here. It froze over completely this year. It has been so cold so many nights. So no worry about thickness. I get down there. make a couple high-speed passes, make a loop out on the outer bay.

It's about a mile offshore. It's zero degrees and probably five below with the wind blowing, but I don't feel it with my suit on. At the furthest point I could be for my house, my sled locked up and shut off the engine seized in the middle of lake. Oh, no. I went to try to pull the rip cord, wouldn't move. I'm like, oh, fuck.

So I started making calls, and I got a rec service, which will come rescue you and pull you off the lake, and he said he was a couple towns up and he said it'd be hard to find someone tonight because it's Super Bowl and they're all football fan though blah blah blah whatever. I told him what I can spend on it when a lydia towed off the lake and he said he'd look around

and I said and I called him back so I can get my parents to meet me. They live right up the hill from here basic. I'll climb up a mountain and get to the road from them. But in that process I had my gloves off and my shield up. My body was freezing. It was getting dark.

I think it was 13 below the night before. So I was a little concerned as to be called in that mile walk off the ice and then two miles back up the trail to my house. It's a mile the way the crow flies about four miles because of all twist and turns. But then I told the guy, he said, well, if you're really concerned, he said, call 911. They'll come get you if you think you're going to be in danger. And I wonder about the sun going down at here. Here's what I'm worried about. And in all my wisdom, I didn't think about telling him where I was. Nobody knew where I was. luckily I had cell phone service and just after I told my dad where to meet me I told him hey leave in about 45 minutes don't leave now because you'll be there way before I will just before I started walking that long walk across the day

I said what the hell I'm going to give it one more pull and it started with the last fucking poll thank God it went home at 40 miles an hour I'm pretty sure I blew the top end it's okay so I get it parked all said and done but other than sitting here I've done nothing all week which was nice is to recover, not to do anything, but I wish it had the ability to leave the house. That would have been nice.

But I couldn't. So it is what it is. I'm here. I'm fine. It's just money and just, uh, of course, it happens when there's the most snow. It's not like it's raining out.

And if it was working, it'd be 50 degrees of raining out. It's the way that my luck is with this goddamn thing. But other than that, everything's fine. I mean, I saw some of, uh,

yeah, I'll just call her a secretary. because I liked how Blayton nailed her last day during her, or the attorney general called her Madam Secretary, and she said, I'm, Rebecca Blayton is my congressperson. Yes, I know. So that was funny when she said, Madam Secretary, and she said, no, I'm the Attorney General, so I can barely tell. Yeah, I couldn't tell. Perfect setup and roast. Yeah, that setup

That set up was right there Before the first Before she's before the The chair even recognized her That burn was already smoldering That was a whole She knew what she was doing and she walked right Well Becca knew what she did

But obviously Attorney General Pam Bonnie's too stupid early She walked her into a trap She just kept her mouth shut But anyway Other than that I guess everything is Okay to not be okay right now I mean, the new norm is it's okay not to be okay.

I don't think a lot of people are okay, but we're okay getting along and not being okay. As weird as that sounds, I guess. Yeah, we're really doing a yeoman job of not being okay. Right. I'm surviving. There's that, so I can be thankful for that. But other than that, I mean, not a whole lot. I've strayed away from a lot of stuff.

I'll be honest. I haven't listened much this week. I just tuned out everything I could completely to recharge. So I'm not really up to snuff on things right now to really make too many comments other than the Pam Bondi thing because I saw her get roasted and John Stewart did a piece on her. I caught on YouTube earlier this week and it was pretty funny. But anyway, kick it off to Roger because I got nothing else. I'm done. Well, I'm just glad you saved a fortune on getting your snow machine worked on.

You have to actually, it's actually got a pull starter on it? get everything but electric start yes it's got a pull starter so the fact that it wouldn't pull right off the symptoms say they'd a piston probably froze i'm thinking there's a coolant problem and i didn't know about and that's why i think i blew the top end i could be wrong it could be a spark plug but i don't know engines and i really need to have it looked at before i try to do anything more with it i don't want it to die somewhere else again and be worse this time it does start up it just won't It won't settle down to an idle. I have to keep moving gas, and I can't let it fall below 3,000 revolutions,

which won't make it move, but it won't let it die either. But if I give it gas, it'll move. So the engine isn't blown. It's just I did some damage. I think it seized up and overheated somehow, and a line's clog somewhere. It could be spark plugs, but I really think it's an enginecy. I've seen this before, unfortunately. Not in this slide.

I hope it's not as expensive. repair as it sounds like it is. Well, it's about a grand somewhere in there. So it's expensive as it sounds. It's just not as bad as a car, but it's still a good chunk of change. So that blows my season. I'll have to save all summer and I'll repair it next year. Well, you did, you did mention, you know, the melt off and everything.

And I was reminded of something. Melting snow is probably more dangerous than the stuff when it's new fallen. I've about gone to ass over tea kittle two or three times walking out to the car. The car has a remote starter on it so I can have it nice and toasty in there when I get in. But there's a shady spot in the house. The house creates a shady spot where the car is parked and nothing is melting. And I mean it is slickered and owl shit on a doorknob. And there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't even know if crampons would help. It's like glass with bacon grease on it. Yes, melting snow and turning back into liquid and then back into a sheet of ice is always fun. I have a couple sheets around the house into the mailbox where wearing boots last night with good traction. It doesn't help on ice. I almost fell over. Oh, and the cherry on top, Robin. My sled is parked parallel to my house.

I usually back it in so I can just drive out the power lines and down the road. get to the trail axis. Well, it was, it was driven into my property. So the first thing I did was it started up before it blew up, and I went to grab it. I picked it up, and I twisted just right. So I pinched a fucking nerve in my back. I knew it as soon as I did it. Oh, lovely.

It's going to hurt later. And for the last five days, I can barely bend over it and sit down. Finally is subsiding, but that was the cherry on top of it all. I pinched nerve before I blew up the end of the end of the end of the end of the day. So it's been a lovely vacation, not doing it. anything but complain about how much how many muscles do you use when you pinch a nerve that you don't realize are there well i'll see i will see people i'll see your pinched nerve and i'll raise you a broken toe and i can't hurt when you sneeze and i can't i can't even i can't even blame that on the

ice or anything that happened here in the apartment uh that doesn't hurt when you sneeze robin when you pinch it nerve it hurts the fucking sneeze because you close your butt you don't know it until you use it i don't know it i don't know. You clench your bustles when you sneeze. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to think of any moment when my toe does not hurt. It's hurting now, and I'm not even, I'm not, it is, it isn't, I've got my legs crossed.

It's not even on the floor and it hurts. There I was, just minding my own business and a table leg just jumped out in front of my left foot. And the left middle toe is slow. receding from purple into green and yellow truth be told it's not really broken yesterday I went over to the WVU medicine dock in a box and they kindly took an x-ray of it and they let me see it and no it's not broken but it's like a deep bone brew it's stoved as hell and there's just no way to there's no way to be comfortable with it and there's not much you can do about it

They didn't split it. When you say kindly, how much do they charge you to be kindly? It was a kind. I know thus far it was a kindly $30 copay. That's better. But they've changed the medical laws in most states where they can come back with the balance in the end. Even though you paid your copay, whatever your organization doesn't pay, which is messed up. It never used to be that way in my 20s.

They change it somewhere in the bankruptcy laws and it's fucked up because that's the only debt I have is medical debt from bills that I've paid my co-pay, and they said they didn't pay the $600, you still owe it to us. That's horseshit. Yeah. But anyway. It's all a grift, and it's all, you know, it could all be fixed, but we don't have the national will to fix it because, well, because you've got people like Tim Burchett out there who's

spending his time talking about how that Barack Obama, he ain't organic. And how he held up the Epstein investigations and didn't do anything about it. It didn't happen until under the Donald administration the first time around right before he died. So anyway, like I said, kick it off to Roger. I got nothing else. I'm done talking. All right. Talk you later, Jeremy.

And by the way, before I go over to Roger, Ralph's has put a $25 challenge on the table in respect of this quote from Fred Gutenberg, who addressed himself to the disgusting display. put forward by Jojo Blondie a couple of days ago. Fred Gutenberg asked. Serious question for A.G. Pam Blondie. Rather than address the victims yesterday, you screamed at members of Congress about crimes that happened in their districts. You blamed them.

With that, you were the Florida Attorney General during the Parkland shooting when Jamie was murdered. Jamie was Fred Gutenberg's daughter. Trump was president. DeSantis was governor based upon your performance yesterday. Should I blame all three of you for my daughter, Jamie's murder? Or only you. Good question, Mr. Gutenberg. Good question indeed.

And so if somebody will kick in 25 bucks to go with Rapses, we will get down to 1540 and be only $40. away from fully funded for last Friday. And being funded for the fully funded for the first week of February as we close the second one is pretty gosh darn important. Hey, Roger. How are you? I'm doing all right.

At my usual Friday out in front of the VA center and a other tall, if I consider to be a young individual, came walking out. And to say he was pissed off at us, was putting it mildly. He claimed that all of us that were out there, most of us wearing some kind of veteran apparel, a Vietnam veteran, a Gulf War veteran, and me with my Coast Guard hat. And he came out and told us that

obviously were stolen valor. none of us could be vets because a true veteran wouldn't be protesting the government because the government's always right and were just a bunch of dumb fucking assholes

and then he proceeded to hang around in the parking lot and take pictures of all our license plates. I have no idea what he's going to do with that. So anyhow, it was kind of an interesting day. It seems like Every week, there's one person that comes absolutely unglued at us out there.

My sign just says shame. A couple others don't defund the VA. And, of course, there's some anti-ice type stuff there too. But it was an interesting hour getting cooled off to, because it's cold here. It's down to 50 degrees. Sorry about that, folks, in the East Coast. But anyhow, I'd like to talk a little bit about how everything was great up in Portland last Sunday. We had a good time.

Turns out that a Trager pellet smoker does not make for easy barbecuing time that they did manage to get the hamburgers cooked. So it was a good time. Everything you mentioned, I also took up some smoke cheeses. So we had some smoke Swiss, some smoked Gouda, and some smoked sharp cheddar. But I looked on a cherry alder combined smoke. During the cold smoking, I talked about, oh, I don't know, three, four weeks ago. But it was a good time. drove up on Saturday, spent Saturday night in the hotel that Steve was supposed to show up in New York, soon to be, what, Ohio, and then he canceled out on us.

So that's fine. Lisa was there, Kristen, Chris, me, Michelle. Kristen will probably remind me of somebody else that I'm forgetting. David David Berlson was there and

I mean I just wished him well and all that he's very positive in the idea that he knows he has at least one person on the people

who are going to make a decision that is firmly in his court So he's thinking it'll be It'll be good And then Just kind of did me in He

I don't know I think you're aware that he had that go fund me up At one time And I really didn't want to go through the PayPal number So Check with Chris And I said hey Chris You see Dave on a frequent bank

Oh yeah yeah yeah no problem I said good I'm gonna Send some put some money in an envelope and send it to you and then you give it to Dave. Well, I'll be God-bent. On Super Bowl Sunday, Chris didn't hand me that envelope because he'd never gotten it to Dave.

So anyhow, I opened it up and handed it the money that was in the envelope. That's mighty nice of you, Roger. And, yeah, this is Dave's, this is Dave Day. He said this was the day he'd be finding out. So I'm looking to see if anybody hears from him. Well, I would expect him to be in a little bit later on. He's probably working. And in his job, it's, I think he's got, I don't think he can listen to the program at the same time he's doing his job.

So I would imagine not. just a little bit lighter. Yeah. Anyhow, I'm about ready to get my seed started. I usually wait until February 15th. The other thing is that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the next eight weeks, I'm going to be teaching classes. So I may or may not come into the program late.

I know on Tuesdays, on Wednesdays, it's Wednesdays and Thursdays. Thursdays. On Wednesdays, it'll be damn near impossible because we've been, my wife and I have been tapped to go up to Corvallis, which is, I don't know, 40, 50 miles up the road, and assist with teaching classes in that county because they really don't have enough to put on the workshop numbers. And then, of course, I'll be doing it down here in Eugene on Thursdays. Wednesdays and Thursdays are going to be a, I want to be off teaching people how to freeze food this week and make broth next week or the following week. You know, and the various different things we do. One of them will be making sourcrown.

Another one will be pressure canning beans and chicken and the labs where we meet up with the people that are training to become master food preservers and that kind of stuff. but just be warned that Wednesdays and Thursdays are going to be real difficult to well I can't be two places at the same time my wife I know her about politics absolutely but she has kind of zoned out and so I can't even mention her about what Trump has done or what Bondi's done or anything like that she gets her own news and she knows what's going on, but if the news comes on and I'm listening to it and Trump's voice comes on, she yells at me to turn it down. You can't even stand in his voice, which I'm not saying I like to hear it either, but I can't listen to the car on the way up or back to my usual political

talk shows. I haven't even tried to get her to listen to Stephanie Miller, but it would be a possibility maybe. Anyhow, that's about all for me. Oh, about the medical stuff. What you all need to do is go back in time and get yourself some time and then get your medical care through the VA because when you go to community care, and I think I said this last some time ago, when you get a new heart valve, the hospital bills $180,000, and the VA pays $60,000, and I'm not responsible for the hospital.

the other 120. A hospital just gets to eat it or somebody gets to eat it, but it's not coming out of my pocket. So there are some advantages to socialize medicine. Oh, without a doubt, without a doubt. And yeah, by the way, Brother Deacon Asa said the smoked cheeses were quite tasty. So I think you can call it an overall success, Roger. Yeah, well, I try to be a good party goer. Oh, it sounds like you were.

And I have a question. I see that Christopher is in the room with us. I have a question for him. Hi. Hi. So, imagine my surprise when I was at my local Aldi down in Vienna a couple of days ago. And what did I see but this giant tub? I mean, it was like half gallon maybe.

It was in the freezer section. Buenos B-U-O-N-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Halian hot beef. Yes, bonas, yeah. And so I got it. And there's a, here at the Wiggling Pig in Parkersburg, there's a, well, they, an Italian bakery brings fresh, baked bread every Friday.

So I think I've got some good bread. Now the next question is what do I do to make it a true fantastic sloppy as hell Italian hot beef? But did the Oju

come with the beef as well? Yes. They have like a... Okay, so you got the Oju, got the rolls, got the beef, obviously. Now you've got to get the real Jardinare. and it's got to be an oil, not that shit in water. It doesn't count.

That's bad. The only jardinera I see is like it's like pickles and it's in a brine. Yeah, that's, you got to get the stuff in the oil. Got to find that. Got to be in oil. Maybe check Amazon. They make like the original jardinera in oil. See what pops up.

that you want for sure. And I know you like spicy, so you got to get the hot shit, obviously. Yeah. Now, you can do, I do both. I think true blue keepers would be like, no, you have to choose one or the others, hot or sweet. Right. I do both. So you can do, you can make yourself some, you know, cut up some green pepper, right?

Just roast it, you know, not too much. just so it's kind of soft. Right. Not a saute? You could do that. Yeah, you try to get some butter and just saute in there. As long as they're soft, they come out soft and put them up into, I don't know, quarters maybe or something. Onions, green peppers, I mean, for the sweet, onions, green peppers.

No, no onions. No, you don't, no onions. No, you don't really do onions. It's just the peppers. And you can, I've seen places that do cheese. the true bluers would also probably frown on that as well. Yeah, so no cheese, no condiments, no mayo, no mustard. No, no, none of that.

No. Just the peppers and then, and then of course you dip it in the au jus. The au reu nice and warm, not too hot. You don't want to boil it, right? Just want to get it warm it. And then you take your sandwich, you know, you put the beef in there. dribble some juice put your peppers on top

and then you give that good a sucker good dunk in the in the Oshu and then yeah then you make a huge mess everywhere damn that just sounds so good I can't wait to do it because like I said it was frozen solid so it's been sitting in the fridge thawing out

for the last couple of days should be good to go over the weekend hey Boyna is a poor man's portillo's I would say Portillo's the best, but when I was, it's pretty damn good. Well, they claim, they claim to be, they claim to be the originator of the Italian hot beef. They might have gotten there before Portillo's.

I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that. I thought Portillo's is, that's my favorite. Oh, Chicagoans. You say Portillo's and they know exactly. And it's like a Pavlov's dog response. Well, last night, this is. going to sound so plebeian compared to all of that.

When I came up here from Bayette County, I stopped at my wiggling pig down there because they keep in stock because they can't keep it in stock. It sells so fast. Five piece packages of what I call schoolhouse pizza. Oh, yeah, the old stuff in the square. The rectangles, yeah. Right? Yeah, the rectangle, yeah.

And so I was going to do those last night. It was like, I'm kind of pizzaed out. And I remembered that we had a package of Kineka in the fridge. And so we had breakfast for dinner last night with fresh baked biscuits and Kineka gravy, which is different from sausage gravy because it's smoky. It's a little more of a pain in the ass to make because you put, you know, I put my pound of Kineka, you know, it's link form. in the iron skillet, put a bottle of water in with it, and let it set, start to simmer.

And once it had simmered enough, pierced, punctured it with a fork, so the fats would run out. And then boiled off the water, made a rue with the fat, put in some black pepper, and then put the milk to it, and it turned into a beautiful gravy. so we had biscuits and Kineka gravy with Keneka sausage. It was very, very good. That sounds delectable. That sounds so good. So I do have a question for you. Okay.

So do you ever try to cook burgers on your green egg or your smoker? Oh, I do. Yeah, I've done it a million times. I must have been doing something wrong. I mean, there was like at least three or four of us. It was like operating on a patient. Yeah, I heard what Roger said a minute ago. And mine's a pellet smoker, right?

So the enemy is the sawdust. So the sawdust clogged up. So we had to take it apart a little bit, clean it out, vacuum it out with a shop back. Yeah, yeah. So it was, yeah, pick a while to get the goddamn burgers going. But ultimately, we did. My wings were good. I got good, good scores on the wings, got good scores on the hot dogs.

Burgers were tough. But once Sammy got them all done and finished, he didn't give a shoe out football, my friend Sammy. So he was, I'm like, where's Sam? And they're like, he's the one manning the burgers. I'm like, oh, well, good for him. I was watching the game. So, but he, you know, they finally showed up.

But the truth of the matter is there may have been more action on the pellets, smoker than there was on the football field. There fucking was. I mean, that first half looked really, really boring. The second half things seemed to pick up a little bit, but yeah, that first thing was terrible. Vegas made a call

for the second half going, hey, this ain't working. Right, right, yeah. Do something. And Chris needs to learn that not everybody likes cheese on their hamburger. Oh, yes. Oh, I forgot about that, Roger.

That damn it. Well, Heretics. Blame Michelle. Blame Michelle. Because she kept on bringing me shots out there. She's like, here, drink this. Here, drink this. Okay.

Shots of what? Please don't say, Malort. Please. No, no, my lord. There's no Malore in this house. At first, there was we had shots of whiskey all together. Like, I don't know. How many of those, Tristan?

Three? At least? Yeah, three. Three. Yep. And then she started passing out all sorts of shots. So I got a shot of, what's that shit? Pepper and Schnapps.

Ah, Jesus. Were you just deliberately trying to build a world-class hangover? Yeah. She texted me the morning. She said, how are you feeling? And I'm like, you know, I'm surviving. And they called my boss. So it was meet the new CFO meeting at 7 a.m.

Oh, that had to be fun. So Justin was sleeping. Oh, fucking shit. So I had to wake up at 5.30, get ready, actually go there. And then guess what? Nobody else was in the room. Oh, Christ. It was an in-person meeting?

Well, that's what I assumed it was supposed to be because one of the managers said it's a mandatory meeting. So I shagged my ass out there. And it was me and the infrastructure manager. That's all that showed up at the office. That's it. just the two lone souls. Everybody else was on video conference. So that was.

I know. And I had such a long day. I woke up so me and Tristan got to bed a little before midnight, I think it was. Losers. And then 5.30. Losers? Who said that? What?

I don't know. I just heard somebody say losers. Losers. Only two of you showed up in the office. I know. I know. Well, first of all. God damn it, when I take

Orange Assholes places, Dictator of America, the first act I'm doing is the day after the Super Bowl is a federal holiday. Yes. This going to work bullshit. Yeah. But so, and I had cards. Brought to you, yeah, brought to you by

Advil. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Tums or Roll Aids or whatever. Yeah. Proz. Ilo sec. But I didn't get to bed until midnight. So it was a long, long day because I had cards that night. Yeah.

It was great. You know, we got the, we had lunch the next day at the restaurant where A'sa and Roger stayed at that hotel. It was, I guess it was a pedestrian lunch, you could call it. My ribs are really good. Tristan, I know you had soup and what else? did you get? I had a burger and fries. They did the... I don't know if you guys ever had like battered fries. I can't stand battered fries. Like, they had some breading on them. It was really gross.

Kind of like rallies. They're more like Jojo's, would you say? No, they were thinner than Jojo's, but they had the same... They had the same kind of... But Jojo's aren't supposed to be breaded. Potato wedges for the rest of you, non-West Coast people. Um, potato wedges don't have breading on them. These fries, it had, it was like, it was like mushy potato and crispy breading. It was like, not, the burger was good.

The soup was not great. The, you know, the burger was the only redeeming part of the meal, I think. It was, it was very well made. I had a chicken and gorgon bowl on it. It's pretty good. Oh, that's good. Insta said his chicken tasted like absolutely nothing. It was like no seasoned.

No season whatsoever. Hey there. Speaking of burgers. Hey, Carl. Yes. Hey, Carl. Yeah. Hi, everybody.

Hi, Jeremy and Tristan and whoever else. Speaking of burgers, I have discovered the best way to cook hamburger patties. And you don't even have to like frozen ones. So I usually buy them fresh and then put them in the freezer and then take them out whenever I want to make a hamburger. So I've discovered that cooking them in the air fryer is perfection. Well, damn, I have an air fryer. It could have done that. They turn out so good.

Like they're, if you like them kind of crispy on the outside, they'll be like that. And, you know, they're just cooked the way that I just, I mean, I find. them to be like excellent. And it's like 10 minutes on each side. And I think it's at 380, if I remember correctly. But I've made them that way. And I started making all, you know, anytime I make hamburgers and potato wedges the same, you know, I buy the frozen ones. And I put them in the air fryer and boom, they come out perfectly. I love my air fryer. You know what, Roger, next year, maybe we should try. that, the air fire with your

peppers too. Your peppers were fantastic. They might cook a little bit faster and they might get a little bit browner on the top, maybe. I agree. I think those will be perfect. And also next time, stay at the four seasons. Stay where?

Stay at the four seasons. Their restaurants are always wonderful. Where's the four seasons? I don't know. The four seasons, there's one in Seattle. Tristan's being a smart ass. Yes, yes. Yeah.

The one in Seattle, though, the place called the Bull and Finch, and, like, that was the best burger I have ever eaten. Homemade patty, homemade bun. And, like, you know, we're not talking about just some thin homemade bun either. It was like a fucking brooch,

homemade brioche, and it was, it was $30 for one burger, but it was goddamn delicious. 30 bucks. That sounds good. Yeah. Yeah.

God. You know, the pizza that Colleen brought was pretty tasty. Oh, I like that. The best pizza I had in the world, but it was pretty damn good. It was definitely Super Bowl serviceable. Where did she get it from? Do you know? Shit, I had the box.

Oh, no, I got to ask her. We went to an awesome restaurant last night. We went to Habibi, Hibibi, Mediterranean. I think the guy is Lebanese. we've been to his brother's restaurant Nicholas I've never been to this place and it's in downtown Portland Northwest and

where I used to live I remember that I remember that place this is a damn good it's right where I used to live perfect these cabbage rolls holy shit were they good I was skeptical too I'm like cabbage rolls oh wow those no

all you got to do is say cabbage rolls and it's game over You like cabbage rolls? Oh God, I love them. My God. These were fabulous. And I don't think I've ever had cabbage rolls at a Mediterranean or Lebanese restaurant. I mean, no, that's what I was going to say. I've never, ever.

All my experiences with cabbage rolls are from like Eastern European cultures, you know, Poles, Serbian. Yeah, Czech, maybe. Yeah, Czech, Croatian. Yeah. These were great. And then I tried something else new that I'd never had before. I never saw this dish.

It was artichokes in kind of a red tomatoy sauce with lamb shwarma. Oh, yeah. And did you peel? Did you take the artichoke leaves off and strip them with your teeth? No, they were just hearts. They were just hearts. Oh, just hearts. I didn't have to mess with all that stuff.

Yeah. But wow, was that fabulous. And, yeah, everything everybody got was really good. The hummus was super on point. Great place. It's amazing. Yeah, it was really good. There's a Lebanese place near me. They make everything from scratch, and they have these, like, super, it's a different kind of pita.

You'll have to come and try it next time, Chris. They're fucking fantastic. It's like, you know, pitas are usually thin. These are like big, thick, pillowy pita breads. Like, you know, it holds... Can you cut them in half and put Euro meat in there, all that good stuff in there? Definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

And you know me in Euros. Oh, my God. Yeah, you can stuff them, too. I mean, they're that big. You could, they're thick. Honestly, it's like, it's like eating a big huge, you know, hamburger bun. It's just really, really good.

I want to apologize, Chris. I want to apologize. I intended to send you a text when I got home, and I just forgot about it. Oh, that's okay. I was pretty sure you got home safe. But you're peppers, man, hit of the party, no doubt. The fish, steelhead and the trout, just I kept chowing down on that. Everything he brought, man, the cheeses were great.

I kept done. Every time I passed by the table, I would just scooped up a handful of those cheeses. It was terrific. I forgot, I forgot to mention it. I brought up a half-pint jar of steelhead with absolutely no added flavoring or anything, just plain steelhead and then also a jar of the Adiomario tuna. Oh, cool. You also set me home with two jars of tuna, which are now gone in five days.

Yeah, it doesn't last. It doesn't last. Yeah. I've been, I've been, I've been, yeah, they've been gone since yesterday, actually. But Daphne, Daphne likes it. She got to lick my hand after I was done. But you didn't actually put any in her bowl with their food? No, it's.

Got Ahia Maria crap. Oh, yeah, duh. I'm not doing that. But she got to lick my hand. So she's happy. She definitely tried to steal some from me. She stuck her head in the jar. She was very interested.

Intrepid, little kitty. Yes. Before A.A and Tristan headed up north, they did get to meet Arlo. Yep. Got him back from the hotel. So he gave him kisses and jumped on him and all that stuff. He's a crazy dog, man. Oh, he's just excited when he meets new people.

He's excited. Yeah, got a lot of energy. Oh, he does. He's a very good boy. Oh, yes. He really is. He's looking at me right now. I also found online when I did a little search for the, I can't pronounce the first part of it, but in oil.

vegetable oh the gardener yeah you found it a link in the there's a link in the chat yeah don't get this shit in the water

well it's hard the pickled the pickled stuff is harder than Babylonian arithmetic I don't want that no I wouldn't even attempt by making this a home

because when you pack stuff into oil that's an anaerobic environment and it creates the problems for botulism unless it's processed correctly and acidified correctly and all the rest of that. So I, you know, I mean, I'm not saying there's a danger in the commercial product. I'm just saying that the acidification process that you need to do

where you don't get so much acid in it that you can't taste the vegetables, but make sure you have enough where you're not going to get the botulism to grow. That's something that you want to leave to the commercial food processing labs. But it sounds great. I've never had it, but it sounds great. Yeah, Roxanne, you don't want to have a boina-otulism beef. No, no, no. And simply put, you know, with the pickled ones, I'm looking it up here.

And, of course, I love all those Mazeta brand stuff. But these are the pickles. and frankly my first foray into an Italian hot beef, I do not want to be crunchy. Oh, no, no, no, no. That's not the right deal. And, and, you know, you were talking a stock freezer and a whole bunch of stuff in the freezer and just been nibbling on leftovers all week long and, yeah, it's good. Yeah, I made, I made sausage balls that evening and Victoria in.

enjoys them immensely. And those things are just so easy to make. And I don't care if you make 100 or 200. They just disappear. They go. You make a sauce to go with it, like a dipping sauce? Just homemade ranch. Oh, okay.

That's good. I mean, I guess you could use like a marinerer or something, but, you know, it's breakfast sausage. So, yeah, I don't think, you know, ranch works. No, that would not be. Nah, you want to do that. I'm stuffed to the gills right now. What did you have, Carl? I had carneasada fries.

Ooh. Oh, that sounds really good. Yeah, I heard it from Postmates. There's a restaurant called Filaberto's, and they have all kinds of good stuff. And so their carneasada burritos are excellent. And they have an Arizona burrito, which is the same as a carneasada. Barita, but it has guacamole and potatoes.

Potatoes instead, okay. Yeah, and the carneasada fries are good because they're crinkle cut fries. And they put you know, carneasada, sour cream, and guacamole on top.

And it's very filling. I will admit that I am a Taco Bell steamed and I do and I don't know if they still have them but they had those little potato burrito things. Oh yeah. I remember those.

And I did like those. I'm mad that they took away tostadas there. Oh, God, yes. And well, Tracy and I discussed this on numerous occasions. The enchurito at Taco Hell. Oh, yeah. And the cheap bastards, not only that, but with them. Mexican pizza, it used to come with a tiny little scattering of sliced black olives. I mean,

I think the enchurito probably had three sliced pieces of sliced black olive on it. And they took that away. You cheap, sons of bitches. Well, they brought back some of their retro items briefly. Do you remember that? It was about a... Oh, yeah, they still do it from time to time. Commercial blitz. They did the... And they had Tostadas. Yeah. And then, and now they don't. But you could only order them on the app. Oh, I didn't know that. It was the same way with the insuritos. Well, I did use the app.

Well, the closest Taco Bell to me, when you walk in, there's no humans, really. Except back in the kitchen, it's all a chaos. I'm surprised Taco Bell is even legal in Arizona. Well, they also have, we also have Dell Taco, which I actually like a lot, to be honest. I had Del Taco. Taco for lunch when I was visiting in LA one time. And it wasn't too bad. I think there is a, yeah, maybe is that where it is?

There might be Del Taco here. They have Tostas there at Del Taco. So that's one of the reasons I like to go there. Yeah. We have to find me. Northwest. You ever been a Taco Time, Chris? I have not been there.

No, but I do get coupons for that. It's good stuff. The only thing that I care. Yeah, it's not bad. The only thing that I care about from Taco Bell is the cinnamon twists. Yeah, they're not bad. They're fucking amazing. When you're baked to the gills, you know, I mean,

nothing better than Taco Bell. Oh, it's confession time. Yeah. Cinnamon twist with a Mexican pizza and a steak cheese cassidia with lots of sour cream. It's a stoner's dream right there. I got to find me a place with the real true blue gorges. I haven't had a solid gordita since Chicago. I can't find it anywhere.

It's not an menu. I think maybe I was down south visiting a friend down in Amity or McMinnville down there. I think there was a place they had a gordita and I ordered it. I was like, eh, this isn't the same. I don't know about gorditas, but I did find. Isn't it like a fried kind of. of like a taco thing. Yes.

It's a sandwich kind of. I was actually thinking about a gordita when Tristan, you were talking about the thick pizzas. Same same. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Or kind of same same.

But, you know, what I also found was I didn't find a place that has gorditas, but I did find a place, Chris, and we have to try this when you get up here. Tamales. Oh, they're delectable. they're about the size of like a, I don't know, a remote control TV remote. I know it's very specific, but like they're smaller, but they're, I mean, the Masa dough is, it's fall apart tender with the meat and, you know, just enough sauce for you to taste it, but not enough sauce for it to drip all over.

Right. And Christmas time, traditionally, there are red and green tamales and they're heavenly. Well, my family, we always have. Tamales on Christmas Eve. It's like ever since I was a kid, we have tamales. And, you know, Mexican rice and refried beans. And the tamales are excellent. My mother used to make them.

And she would buy the masa from a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix that would just sell masa. And she would make them and they were excellent. But my mother passed away, you know, like in 2003. And so since then, my dad, buys them and he'll buy them from like Costco now like the frozen kind but you can go to any grocery store parking lot in Phoenix and there will be a lady selling homemade oh yeah the carts yeah absolutely in my old neighborhood in Chicago there was the a low taste cart would

come around and at tamale's cart two different and they'd come around like the ice cream man and they'd have one of those bicycle horns. The, it's like, oh, shit, tamale guys here, or the elotes. Yeah, they sell those different corn on the cob with different seasonings on them. Here. Ooh, yummy. Yeah.

And just a fun, just a fun piece of trivia for you, Carl. tamale tamale is that that word is actually um an ancient indigenous word oh it comes it comes from the language of the machika people and if i if i understand correctly um the plural of tamale is tumultin because of the structure of nahat and interesting it's it you know it's it's fairly simple it you know you mix you mix you the masa flour with the lard and press it into your corn husk, put the filling in it, cover it up, and wrap it in the

corn husk, and put it in the steamer. It is, you know, it's basically an American indigenous dumpling. Yeah. Just like it, just like an Asian steam dumpling. Yeah. Yeah. And God, I

remember. I remember. I remember when I was in Minneapolis for a short time and I was just like walking down the street. I think I was lost trying to find someplace. I'm like, this Mexican guy, this little Mexican guy comes up and helps me and he's like, hey, you want it to Mali? And I'm like, I guess, sure.

And he gave me a smile. It was a little cold, but... Minnesota nice. Delicious. Yeah. That was nice. Very nice people. Roxanne in the chat.

there's also a suggestion you're talking about the brown pork kind of meatball kind of thing there's a sourcrow balls recipe i think next year i'll remember to make some up and they're cooking here you need to be deep fat fried right and then put them into freeze and bring them up and then we could use the air friar

to heat them up for the super bowl oh i've had sauerkraut balls they're magnificent Wow. I love them. You're really good. A little mustard. You guys were talking about cabbage rolls, you know, cabbage stuffed. When I was in Romania, they have a thing called Somalais, which is cabbages, you know, cabbage leaves that are stuffed with meat and rice that are to die for.

That's basically it, and sometimes you get this lovely little tomato sauce around them. yeah like stuffed peppers yeah only with cabbage leaves i used to i used to know that i used to know the slavic word for them um um huluskis something like that well the funny thing is Romania is not slavic it's uh no it's it's a latin language yeah and the and they're very proud of their roman heritage there. And I like it because once you learn Spanish you can speak

Romanian, it's easy to pick up on Romania. Yeah and just from a language nerd standpoint nouns in Latin there are multiple declensions. There's first declension nouns and they

tend to end in A and they tend to be feminine. and then there's second declension and it ends in U.S. in the first person singular and that tends to be masculine. Third declinchen is it can have any like Rex Regis. It can have any sort of ending in the first person singular and the genitive ends in IS. and then fourth declension is, I can't even remember, but it's the bizarrest, most bizarre of the four declensions.

And the way my professors explained it to me back in the far dim, back in the far dim mists of time when I rode my dinosaur to Latin class, you can look at the romance languages and tell how early on they were invaded and colonized by the Romans by whether their nouns tend to follow a first declension, second declension, third declension, or fourth declension modality,

and Romanian is largely oriented toward the fourth declension. I may be wrong, but that's the way it was explained to me, because the Romans didn't get around to conquering what is now Romania until deep into the empire, not during, not during Republican realm. It's very, it's very similar to Spanish. I mean, and it's kind of like an Italian-ish Spanish mix. Yeah.

Because when I was there, there was a guy who was from Italy, and he couldn't speak English. He would speak Italian, and then I would reply to him in Spanish. And we were able to understand each other. And he could, he could understand a lot of Romanian, too. So I love those link, those romance languages. I really do. Oh, absolutely.

And, you know, for an English speaker, they're not easy, but easier to grasp because of the number of English words that, I mentioned this the other night, that come from, in one way or another, derived from Latin words. There are a lot easier than Russian. I can tell you that much. I have not assayed Russian. German is keeping me busy. And like I said, once I get done with A2, I'll probably take a break from German and get back to the business of Spanish.

I was actually going to minor in Spanish because I took it for four years in college. And I took Russian for one semester. And I thought, okay, this is good. I'm good. I'm good with Russian. No more. I noticed Dave's come into the room. I think we need to hear from Dave.

Yeah. Absolutely. Hi, David. Good afternoon, everybody. Good afternoon. I sound a little chipper. You sound like that. There's a little happy tone in your voice.

Well, I don't have any news to share as of yet. Oh, okay. I know that the board of bar examiners met today. I talked to my attorney and I asked her if she knew what time they were meeting. She did not. So I'm still waiting to hear anything. It's 4 o'clock on the West Coast. So workday is over at 5.

So I'm hoping to hear something before 5. But my attorney said that if we don't hear something by the end of the day, she'll send an email. She said she'll send the email on Monday, which is a holiday, so I don't know if they'll get back to me. So it's possible or they'll get back to her so that she can get back to me. And so it's possible I won't have any news until Tuesday. Oh, Jesus. But it's okay. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't, I mean, no news is good news, right? Bingo. At this point. It will be exciting. I haven't heard me yet. And I think it's going to happen. Yeah. Yeah.

I should. I think so, too. I just, it would be nice just to have the confirmation, though, you know. Oh, yeah. Oh, without a doubt. And, you know, pins and needles. Right. Right.

But I just got home from work, so I wanted to hop on and make sure that everyone was in the loop on the information that I have. information that I have as of today, currently, at this very moment. David, I wanted to thank you so much for picking up Sammy. It was awesome. Oh, yeah, no problem. We had a nice chat in the car, yeah. Good. Yeah, and thank you for inviting me over for that Super Bowl party.

I had a lot of fun. I'm glad. I'm glad. Everybody seemed to really enjoy it. I did. And the Seahawks won. And the Seahawks one. So Robert Kraft, you know, he didn't need another ring to give the Pootty Pooot.

For Pooty to steal. Yeah, that came up, that came up during our conversation during the, after the Super Bowl. That's got to eat at that, poor son of a bitch so much, right? When he looks at all his trophies and he looks at all this memorabilia. and pictures with Tom Brady and all that. And then he sees that one ring missing. That must drive him insane.

And I love it. That commie bastard. Yeah. By the way, going back to our food porn for just a moment, Sylvie says, I can't eat at Taco Bell anymore, which makes me so very sad. But they have the touchscreen menu, not accessible for blind and visually impaired, and the kitchen staff is so busy, it's not worth the 45-minute wait. miss them.

Oh, that sucks, Sylvie. And Tamara, subject to food porn. Oh, this sounds intriguing. We just got a Georgian restaurant and I got to try soup dumplings.

There's a Bourdain episode on them, but basically they're dumplings with hot broth in them, so you have to bite off a piece and try not to scald yourself while you drink the broth inside. Delightful. Doesn't it come with like a straw or something. I remember that Bourdain episode, Tamara. You can get, but yeah, those look fantastic. And, and in fact,

Brother Deacon Asa was talking about that recently that, I guess the next big thing in international cuisine is actually Georgian cooking. Sounds interesting. Meanwhile, here in Parkersburg, we just got a smoothie place called Bora Bora that one would think is Polynesian, but turns out to offer things like Dubai chocolate waffles along with the smoothies. Yeah, I used to brought a whole bunch of that down, some of that special chocolate. Oh, did he? Cool.

Yeah, I think it had pistachio in it, so I couldn't eat that. Oh, are you allergic? Yeah, tree nuts, yeah. Uh, I wish. Are you guys all living in? Abilins or something? What? Yeah. Oh, I was just asking you if everyone lives in Portland.

I thought you said Poland and I was like, what? So Rogers and Eugene. I'm in Milwaukee, just south of Portland. David's in Cedar Hills and then Tristan's in Seattle and Aces in Vancouver, BC. Oh, wow. That's cool. Yeah. My best friend lives in Portland. and every chance I can get, I always go to visit them, because I love it there. Yeah, me too.

Yeah, the photo, the photo, the photo y'all took and sent, I immediately saved in my phone. And it was just sweet and precious. And I'm so, I'm so grateful to y'all for remembering me in the midst of your festivitize. Oh, that's good. Yeah, we, yeah, you got all the, um, cheers. Good, good. You come off a lot, Roxanne, in our. conversations because when people ask us how we all met,

you have to come up in the conversation. Yeah, you're the glue. I mean, there's no way in hell I would have met. I'm not a matchmaker. I'm a friend maker. Yeah, absolutely. Sourcrop balls. I love sourcrop balls.

I love sourcrop, yeah. I wonder how that would work with. I was going to say, I wonder how that recipe would work with like the German pickled red. cabbage, you know, the kind of sweet and sour stuff? Oh, yeah, probably pretty good. So I got a question for all those hard years in your 20s, 30s, whatever it was. Okay, so did everybody hear the clip of RFK Jr. today?

And what he did in his youth and he was. Oh, that was, yeah, well, I ran that, I ran that on the show yesterday. Oh, oh, you read yesterday. Okay, wait a second. Now, I, what I remember is I would go into the bathroom and there would be a rail on the toilet tank, not the toilet seat. Well, you're not Bobby. That's not nearly gross enough. Bobby has to do the disgusting stuff.

Did he tell the person, like, before they put the rail down for him in the bathroom, now you got to put it on the seat or I won't do it. If you put it on the tank, I won't do it. You have to put it on the seat. Oh, God. Put it on the seat. I mean, whatever, whatever happened to the little McDonald's, the little McDonald's coffee spoons. That's what everybody used.

Yeah. Just a bump. Well, if you want to get really fancy, you could bring one of those, you know, handheld mirrors that people use to check their eyeshadows and stuff. Yes, yes. Put on one of those. Andy.

Yeah, but that's not germany enough. That's not germy enough for Mr. Bobby. Yeah, and that was the whole point of that whole disgusting exchange was that, I know germs aren't going to kill me, but my addiction will. I mean, that's standard within recovery circles is that it will kill you. And so I take no issue with that. but to pair that with, I'm, I'm afraid of no germs. Motherfucker, what do you think causes cholera?

You know? You're just talking about botulism, right? Yeah. Well, we know one thing for sure. He's not afraid. Doesn't mean he has to make every child. Well, and that, yeah, that doesn't empower him to kill children. Right.

And, you know, syphilis, anybody? Yeah. Does anyone have any of the latest numbers on the measles outbreaks that are basically all over the place now? Oh, yeah. South Carolina, Texas. I mean, it's sweeping everywhere. Right. I'm here, too, I think.

Arizona. You're in Washington. Yeah. And it's weird. It's weird. It's a perfect storm. of the so-called horseshoe theory, where the hardcore right-wingers meet the hardcore left-wingers at the ends of the horseshoe, you know, you probably, if you've got a measles problem in

Washington, it's probably in eastern Washington, but then there's probably some in western Washington that's the petulis-scented crunchy granola crowd, you know, I just want to, like, live naturally, you know. I didn't want any artificial substances. Right. And by the way... If you remember Roxanne, sorry. No, you.

No, I was just going to say, remember, Roxanne, I was sending you those articles about six months ago. King County, Washington was having flare up some measles. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And of course, and of course the racist maggot P-O-S, That's because all them immigrants bringing their diseases. I mean, I remember hearing Michael Seventh.

Weiner decades ago. Yeah, these, these illegal aliens, they come here and they crawl in with diseases. Oh, so. And the shit just never goes away. I keep on thinking about 10 years. years to know. Like when these kids grow up and they have PTSD. And by the way, note coming from Tamara, the mirror in agreement with you, Christopher. Christopher's right though. No one used the seat, lull. And didn't anyone have a credit card? Also, he was doing, Bobby was doing that during

AIDS denial too. 910 confirmed measles cases in 2026. And in 2025, there were 2,280. Oh. Yeah, we've already blown past the entirety of 2025, haven't we, Roger? No, no. How many in 24 to say? Like, one?

We're about halfway already this year, 910 this year, 910 this year, as of February 12th. And last year for the entire year, there were 2,000. 200. God. And we're pushing a thousand. And remember, are there any numbers from before? Oh,

these are the worst numbers since, well, these are the worst numbers 2025 and 2025 and 26, David. These are the worst numbers since before we declared measles eradicated in like 2004. Okay. And of course,

I was just wondering if we had any in 24. Right. Like zero. Well, And these are just confirmed numbers. We don't know about the people who, you know, rub lettuce leaves on their armpits and don't go to the hospital, you know. Yeah, I remember. Okay.

Hold on. Everybody be quiet. Everybody be quiet. Yeah, that's for the lettuce leaves, rubbing lettuce leaves on their armpits. Thank you. You're more than welcome. I was off the cuff. I could tell it.

And that's why you got a rim shot for that because, well, the off-the-cuff stuff is the quality stuff. and I'm sure those are the same people that pick their teeth with their toenail clippings I know yeah yes but switching gears a little bit I don't know if you guys heard about this

but like so ice is now and you probably covered this Roxanne I don't know I haven't listened to the program at least for last since like Wednesday or so but ICE is now paying

money to these really corrupt countries in order to take immigrants who aren't from there and... Oh, yeah. And now, but now what we're finding out is that not only are they taking these immigrants, but they're sending them back to their home countries.

Like, this whole send them to South Sudan thing is just, it's just, you know, a way to intimidate. people like you're going to get sent to south to down but also you're going to get sent back to your home country oh it reminds me of uh w's renditions during the you know close to 9-11 well again again we act like this is new it is a process this is a road we have been on for more than a quarter century yep anybody remember alberto torture boy Gonzales

Uh-huh Alberto Torquimata Ike go back to Ike with the wetback laws Yeah You know so yeah we in Back to the 20s And for anyone who doesn't know Chris wasn't engaging in slurring

That was literally the name It was the actual It was called Operation Wetback Yeah Yeah Nobody took offense But that's exactly what it was I was trying to be accurate

Yeah that's true and you know here we were I think it's interesting we have to get all of our food porn out of our system before we can talk about the news and there we were talking about masa a little bit ago mossa flour for tamales and whatnot and yeah well masa make america sick again there you go roger you were going to say something roger uh just having to do with the measles thing

and I had a graph up that easels was officially eliminated back around 2011. And it was a chart on the graph showing when the vaccine became available, the sinking of the cases. And now with this asshole we have at Health and Human Services and people not getting vaccinated, it's, But it's, oh, the mega folks got us into a civil war and setting us up for pandemics. So, you know, America's great again. We've gone back to the 1918 flu epidemic. Sometimes I think they really are trying to. Yeah, we were talking about that as we.

Yeah, we were talking about that at the beginning of the program. Kim in New York asked the question, you know, why are they trying to kill us off? Yeah, they want us dead. Well, it's because they can live their, you know, their futuristic lifestyles with us. Whoever remains down on the ground will be, you know, great servants and slaves. And their, their expectation is they're not going to need that many of us because AI will be doing all the work. Right. I just need a few people to, to make sure the AI is running and doesn't go fucking full, uh, he'll tilt

boogie like Terminator, right? Clean the house, take care of the children. I mean, it's going to be like a family society. That's what they want. What was that? Skynet. Was it Skynet? Yeah, Skynet. I'm thinking of it.

Yeah. Skynet. Yeah. And Starlink. Starlink will become Skynet. Exactly. I think that's a trench and point, though. Like, that they want a feudal society. I mean, I think we can look to the past to see exactly the kind of society that they want. They want a medieval society.

They want they want lords and fiefdoms and... Oh, yeah. And they've said it. And I think... Yeah, David, they've said it out loud. I can't remember that one little creep's name, but he's a thought leader for the maggots. And he talks about a modern technocratic monarchy. talks about a modern feudalism that democracy has failed.

Oh, that so-called intellectual. Yes. Peter Thiel. No, not Peter Thier. No, not Peter Thiel. This is the guy who, no, not the O'Von. This is the guy who's the brains behind Peter Thiel. Yeah, this is the guy that Peter Thiel thinks is the social.

Listen to. It's not Richard Spencer, is it? No, no, no. No. It's a weird name. I can bet my head. I'm doing three different things at one time. I'm going to have to look them up.

I've got it here. I think I've still got the New Yorker story saved. But I'm trying to, yeah, there it is. By the way, cueing up a clip. Did you reveal Theo Vaughn's real name yet? I read that yesterday. Okay. On the show.

Must I not been listening. And yeah, he's, that is one, yeah, that's one mouthful of a name. Here, let me look. I'll find it. I got it here. Hey, Tristan, speaking of Starlink, have you heard about what happened? I guess Elon fucked over the Russian groups in theater that were using Starlink and he shut it off on them and stuff? He's really fucking them all up.

Oh, yeah. That was like last month, though, wasn't it? Was it last, I think it's ongoing. It's been going on, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So what did, uh, was, what was a riff between Elon and, uh, Putin? I thought, I would assume their besties. I, it's interesting.

I mean, you know, no honor among thieves, man. Well, that's, there's that. Maybe they, they didn't pay their bill. Yeah. Could be. Could be. You know, I don't, I'm not a geopolitic expert, so I, have no idea the ins and outs of those people's relationships.

But it wouldn't surprise me if, honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Starlink was just fucking poorly designed. It would be that too. I mean, look at SpaceX. They're fucking failed-assed, you know, rockets, rapid, unplanned disassembly. Classic big rockets, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's the same thing. Pop-wop.

Yeah. Well, I can't. Wasn't the Amazon guy, the one with the Dick Rocket? They both have them. Well, they're all Dick Rockets. They're all Dick Rockets? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, it's, it's, we're lumping them all together and classifying them as Dick Rockets? Yeah, it's, yeah, because they all, they all look that way. It's Dick Rockets all the way down. No, I just queued this up. I've played it in the past. George and Corsegold was the one who reminded us of it. and again the movie was called executive action it centers on the assassination of Kennedy

1973 Robert Ryan Bert Lancaster two titans of Golden Age Hollywood and they're discussing the future and Curtis Jarvin yes that's him that's him Carl good call but you know pay attention to and I hope this play for y'all in the room. Just because you get the idea somebody, this isn't just like science fiction or something. Somebody was tapped into

something all the way back to 1973. You know, 1973, JFK's assassination was only 10 years prior. And so it was still pretty much in the public consciousness of people who actually saw it happen.

Real problem is this, James? Two decades, there will be seven billion human beings on this planet. Most of them, brown, yellow, or black. All of them hungry? All of them determined to love. They'll swarm out of their breeding grounds into Europe and North America. Hence Vietnam. An all-out effort there will give us control of South Asia for decades to come.

And with proper planning, we can reduce the population to 550 million by the end of the century. I know. I've seen the data. You sound rather like gods reading the doomsday book, don't we? Well, someone has to do it. Not only will the nations affected be better off, but the techniques developed there can be used to reduce our own excess population. Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, poverty-prone whites, and so forth. Got it?

again Can you Roxanne Okay so that was from the movie Executive Action Can you can you give a little bit more context about that particular scene like who are the two characters

talking? Well they're two of the executives who are taking action they are powerful they are powerful they're the they're the corporate power elite I don't want to spoil

the movie for anybody but there are scenes that for instance, where they rehearse the Kennedy assassination. And this is a conversation about why it is necessary that we stay in Vietnam as opposed to getting out of it. You know, because JFK didn't want to, I mean, at one point in time, JFK met with an aged Douglas MacArthur in, his

penthouse in Manhattan. And that's where that famous line about don't get in a land war in Asia comes from. That's what, I mean, supposedly that's what McArthur told him. And so Kennedy was not in favor of an

escalation in Vietnam. It was still a police action. We were military advisors. and that's what they said at least yeah and then and then of course upon his assassination and the ascension of jill bj the generals got their way it's it's horrifying but you said some that fired my imagination um you said something that someone was tuned into something so i'm assuming that um since this was a movie that was produced that it was produced by someone who was, this is my assumption, that is, was anti that plan of the executives,

because otherwise why would they put it in a movie? Well, again, it's 1973. The story predated the film. And it was fresher in people's minds then, David. And nobody believed Arlen Specter's magic bullet theory. And the vast majority of people did. not believe that Oswald acted alone. So it was zeitgeist then at the time.

Yeah, I think you could say that. And art being a reflection of reality, I'm just thinking about the secret society speech that Kennedy gave, I think in 63, where he talks about how we as a people are inherently against secret societies and secret oaths. And he talks about how, they prosecute the Cold War with, oh, I don't remember the exact phrasing. I could probably find it really quickly.

But that secret society speech was chilling to me the first time I had heard it. And then again, when I read the text of it, our portions of the text of it. And then I thought about the business plot that went all the way back to to FDR and how there were people, there were business people at the time who were engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the government. And that my understanding is that FDR didn't prosecute those individuals so that as part of the deal to get the new deal passed. Maybe I'm mistaken about that. So I think I think your point of

about like somebody knew something back then, I think it's demonstrably true. I don't think it's just a suspicion or a hunch. And the thing is, I think there's a parallel. I'm glad we're talking about this. I think there's a parallel between the conspiracy with the Epstein files and some kind of conspiracy relative to JFK. And there's so much misdirection, you don't really know in which direction to look. Because there are so many, in the case of the Epstein files, there are so many filthy, disgusting men and a handful of enabling women.

And it's so easy to run off down spiderwebs, spider web threads that lead away from the center of the web. I mean, like, there's so many rabbit holes. Yeah. Just as a, for instance, you know, the guy. who, I mean, this is just so fucking disgusting. What was his name? In the files? Suleiman.

And he's the, oh, yes, Sultan. Yeah. Sultan Ahmed bin Suliam, CEO of a mega trade and logistics company called DP World. But he was let he was, he's no longer at that position after this. Yeah, he quit. Or, you know, he either jumped or he was pushed. But it's disgusting because this is, you know, because Epstein's writing him back saying,

thanks so much for the torture video, I really enjoyed it. Yeah. And, you know, there were girls as young as mine. Yes, yes. So to loop this back to the executive action movie, not with quite the same screening technique, but white words on a black screen begin the film. Before his death, and this might answer some of your questions, David. Before his death, former President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a three-hour filmed interview to a well-known television commentator. On May 2nd, 1970, when this interview was shown on a national television network, it included the message that certain material had been deleted at President Johnson's insistence.

It has been revealed that in the censored section, Johnson had expressed misgivings about the finding that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone and that in fact he suspected that a conspiracy had been involved in the assassination of John F. Kenner. but he insisted that that be left out of the interview. So I don't know if I can tie the Epstein, the Epstein conspiracy to Kennedy, but I think I'm going to try. And I'm going to start with Bill Barr. Bill Barr was in the position to effectuate either a murder of Jeffrey Epstein, in custody or his squirling, his, his, um, swirling away.

Yeah, secreting him away. Yeah. Secreting him away. So he was in the position to do that. We know that Bill Barr, um, himself was a member of George H.W. Bush's administration. Um, what, he was the, he, he, he served as attorney general before, if I'm, if I'm recalling correctly. in H.W's administration.

And H.W. was the CIA director. I think it was Operation Condor, if I'm recalling correctly. He was the CIA director that created basically a secret government during around Contra with all of the foreign, he was basically the architect and for, forgive me if I'm if I'm misremembering some things because I'm doing this off the top of my head. But he was basically the architect of Operation Condor, I believe, was the name of the operation, the CIA operation, which was installing all these dictators across Latin America. And part of the reason I brought up the business plot is because we know H.W. Bush's father, Prescott, was involved with,

funding the Nazis during World War II. Brown Brothers Harriman. And if Brown's Brothers Harriman. And so if, and we also know that the bushes are heavily involved in the secret society of skull and bones. So if, if JFK was inveying against that particular secret society, skull and bones, who had powerful people all over the government and all over the business world at the time, if he was in vain against that and he was saying that those were the enemies that were amassing themselves around the globe, the enemies of the United States.

And we can tie Bill Barr to known members of the skull and bone society, then we can tie the two conspiracies together. I don't know. That was my... Interesting. That's my shot of, like, tying all that in together. Well, let me add to this for those who are interested. I just realized the entirety of executive action can be viewed on YouTube.

And the story begins with June the 5th, 1963. And if even if any portion of this is even remotely true, it's chilling as hell. It's telling how quickly this movie just kind of went away. I'm going to watch it. You know, not just Bert Lancaster, not just Robert Ryan, but, you know, Will Geer, Grandpa Walton is in it. You know, the characters that Robert Ryan always played, I saw an interview with him when he was older. And he was saying, you know, don't judge me by these characters that I played. actually a liberal and he was a nice guy he was like super philanthropic you know and he was always

doing stuff for other people and you know when you watch movies with him you would think that he was like this conservative jackass because that's the type of characters he always played i i remember him in the battle of the bulge alongside robert shaw and henry fond oh yeah and in that one he played a good guy but he's he's an absolute Yeah. He's an absolute bastard in executive action. By the way, a couple of emails. Rimshot for Roxanne for the Mossa quip.

Brilliant. Why? Come on. Cooperate. Thank you, Sylvie. Yes. Curtis Jarvin, Tamara said. Barf.

Could not agree more. From Kevin in Massachusetts. Saturday doubleheader, Planet of the Apes and Soylent Green. Ooh. And Kevin, well, Kevin and I both apparently saw executive action at a similar time. It's one of those weird things. My sister took me.

My middle sister, or, well, my youngest sister, when it came out, we went to see it in the Sholes Theater in Florence, Alabama, and just sat there. I mean, I was 10, and my mind was blown. Kevin says saw that movie in 76, age 13, cinema in my neighborhood. What stood out to me was the line at the end of the movie. And, well, I don't want to spoil it. And it ends with something that the odds would be in the millions to one that it happened that way. Tamara said, I thought he moved, but no, Yarvin only threatened to. I had to look it up.

Yep, disgusting. and panicked Curtis Yarven J.D. Vance Guru plans to flee USA. How about that? Hi. Can I hop back in? Yes, please. So I've got the text of Kennedy's speech. It was a speech he gave on April 27, 1961.

And I'm going to quote directly from the text of the speech, Voices of Democracy.U.U.m.d.edu. and I'm quoting here, quote, the very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society. And we as a people inherently and historically opposed to, we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts

far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And I'm going to skip further down to the speech. Today, no war has been declared, and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger.

And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. And I'm going to skip down the speech a little bit again. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice. on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources

into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned. no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

It conducts the Cold War in short, with a wartime discipline, no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. That is a speech by JFK from 1961, April 27th. And I also wanted to point out real quick that it was Operation Condor that I was talking about before that George H.W. Bush was involved in. I spelled it incorrectly here. Give me just a second. And there is an there is an intercept article entitled. Let's talk about George H.W. Bush's role in the Iran-Contra scandal. And it outlines his, his involvement.

I'll quote the article directly. Bush was the CIA, was at the CIA during Heart of Operative. Condor, an international kidnap, torture, murder apparatus run by six Latin American dictatorships and coordinated by Washington. That's from the intercept. So Bill Barr, being George H.W. Bush's Attorney General, who was also Trump's Attorney General, I mean, it ties these two conspiracies together. I just wanted to bring that in. sorry to hold the floor for something. No, no, that's quite all right.

Thank you for that. Cool. And, well, I'm sorry to mention it, but Ralph still has a challenge on the table, everybody, and I'm not just addressing the group, but $25 that would get us down to, 1540. Thank you, Jessica, for keeping us from being a goose egg. but this is the middle of the month and this is when it gets really, really brutal and that number needs to come down. I mean, if we could do that and if we could do Ralph's challenge and $40 more, at least we would be fully funded for last week because that's the remainder of last Friday.

You can put it down for 10. I'm doing that right now. Oh, thank you, David. You don't need to do that. You're living on the margins anyway. I want to. I want to. Thank you, David. Thank you. And so that means $15 to go on Raps' challenge and then 40 beyond that if we want to be finished with last week. Staying a week behind is, well, makes it hard to keep this all going. And I apologize for even mentioning it. If I was independently wealthy, I would never say a word. Couple of things on the way out the door because we're, well, you've only got about 15 minutes left in the program.

Ah, geez. The ice goons had to make a confession, the head of the ice goons. Todd Lyons confessed that two of his goons lied under. under oath after the shooting of a man named Julio Sosa Seles in Minnesota. He issued a statement today saying, Today a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements. Anybody want to parse that sentence structure?

Both officers have been immediately placed on administration. administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation, a thorough whitewash. But the fact of the matter is, federal prosecutors earlier this week asked the court to dismiss charges against Mr. Sosa and Alfredo Alhorna. An FBI creep lied to the court and said that the two men were part of an attack on ice goons with a shovel and a broom handle and that occasioned the shooting of Mr. Sosa. That's what Lyons was saying.

I love the fact that his name's Lion. I know. It's not the same thing. And he went on and said, Well, lying under oath is a serious federal offense. The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment as well as potential criminal prosecution. It gets worse.

Well, what about Krusty Knoem? Well, and that's where I was going. Krusty, the nasty Nazi gnome. Previously, it said, our ice agents are following the law and running their operations according to training. Last night, what we saw was three individuals weaponized shovels and brooms. and attacked an ICE officer that had to defend himself. Well, as of earlier today, U.S. District Court judge Paul A. Magnuson dismissed the cases against both men with prejudice, which is kind of, I mean, that's not always the case.

The judge basically said, the case is dismissed, and you can't bring it back, you lying sacks a shit. because the goons were going to send these men up the river for federal time for years upon years based on a lie. I don't want to hear any more this bullshit about reforming ICE or reforming CBP. Oh, my God, you're so right. Abolish it. Destroy it. Scatter the ashes and salt the earth. Never let it grow again.

But that's not the only problem Krusty has. Krusty threw a tantrum. Mm-hmm. Yeah. God, she is such a dipshit. She threw a tantrum over a blanket. Oh, yes, I saw that. and the pair have, according to the Wall Street Journal, the pair, meaning Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome and her boyfriend, the sex pest, Corey Lewandowski, the pair have lately been using a luxury 737 max jet with a private cabin in back for their travel around the country, according to people familiar with the matter.

DHS is leasing the plane but is in the process of acquiring it for approximately $70 million. DHS has previously used other planes through the Coast Guard or other agencies for the Secretary's use. Do you remember when she threw a fit in Congress when she was questioned about her aircraft? Well, don't forget the bed. There's a bed on that plane. Oh, yeah, that's the one in the bed. Yeah, that's the cabin in the back. I wonder how crusty that.

Oh, shut up you. Very crusty. Custy with Corey. Ew. There goes dinner. a long time. Yep, and Bilbel snack and God only knows. Yeah.

So there was a blanket incident. They had to change planes, and her blankie was left behind on the other plane. In the blanket incident, Nome had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blankie wasn't moved to the second plane, according to people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired,

and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination, but they eventually had to reinstate the pilot because no one else was available who knew how to fly the fucking plane. Wow. Is she Linus? What fuck is that? That's crazy.

We need to get Chris and Corey in front of Congress. It's kind of like let's just think of it as a stained blue blankie. Ew. There you. go.

Krusty indeed. These people. And Lewandowski has then. Yeah, they are. And she desperately needs to spend, I mean, she likes cosplay so much. She desperately needs to spend a few years, cosplaying as a federal, well, of a federal inmate in the care custody and control of the Bureau of Prisons, preferably in Supermax, in Florence, Colorado.

to the blind sheikh or somebody. It's a great in orange. And Lewandowski told people there inside D.H. I want a badge and a gun. And well, you're not supposed to get those in the federal

government unless you've had full-on law enforcement training. And they wouldn't issue him the badge and a gun. An ICE goon lawyer got demoted over it was the seconded to federal emergency management, FEMA, because he wouldn't sign off on it anyway.

And eventually, Corey Lewandowski found somebody to sign off on it for him. And the ICE director's auto pen was used to sign the paperwork. Oh, there's that auto pen. Oh, God. You know what, this blankie incident reminds me of Roxanne. Remember when Cash Patel would, he refused to get off that place? plane until they brought him the FBI uniform. Yeah, the ladies, the ladies' needyam jacket.

Exactly. It's what a three-year-old does, man. Yeah. Yeah. What do you expect? Asha Rangappa wrote earlier today, I'm confused. Does no one have a security blanket she travels with?

Her emotional support blanket. Well, the former editor of the Chicago Tribb, Mark Jacob, said the christianone blanket incident is a bizarre example of how a regime of narcissists is swinging a wrecking ball at all at americans lives in service to their own egos and people that she couldn't just order another blanket no it's got DNA all over it god damn it Jesus Christ maybe that's what he uses oh maybe that's what she uses to wrap her face up with it Yeah, probably. Ew.

Exactly. I don't think I would ever... Go ahead, Justin. I was just going to say, I don't think... I love my duvet. I have a duvet. And I'm... Buzi.

I just... Whatever. I, um... But I would never have a pilot fired for it. I just... I don't think I'd have anybody fired for it. I don't even think I'd care that much. Well, you're not Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome, and you don't have secrets hiding in a blankie. True.

Let me do something real quick before I go away. I've been terribly remiss this evening, but someone is on the stress line. Hey, welcome to the program. Aloha. Aloha. Is that you can? Yeah, how's it going? Wow, it's great to hear from you.

Yeah, just I'd listen, but I don't usually call in. You know, I'm just busy for a time. But I'm listening. You know, I've been listening. I hardly ever miss an episode even. Thank you. Enjoying the show camp. Just, my phone's breaking up.

Sorry. That's okay. I mean, you're coming through. Okay. I lost you there for a minute. Yeah, it's just been crazy few years out here in Hawaii. But, yeah, just hanging in there. watching all the craziness on the mainland.

It's nuts. I heard ice was running around in Maui. Is that right? Well, they're being pretty quiet about it out here. If they are, they're not reporting it very much, you know. But I know they're on Oahu, but they're being very, very low-key. Well, it is, after all, Hawaii, and there's lots of volcanoes they could actually accidentally fall into. Hey, Roxanne, I wanted, did you talk about,

um, with Neerl's latest, uh, trophy? Oh, God. What now? Oh, the clean coal one. Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw it. Yeah, that was beautiful.

You did talk about that. Yeah, well, I didn't talk about it, but I did see it, but it, the goddess of irony, of course, uh, is always on the job. No sooner did he get the clean call. trophy than the news broke the news broke I think earlier today here in almost level west by coal Trump genie Stan seven mines are going to close and 530 Trump voting hard-working clean coal producing miners are going to be out of work the company Greenbrier Minerals LLC has said they're they're shutting down seven of their operations in the months ahead.

They issued what's called a warn notice today. The layoffs will begin on April 14th and they will be permanent. Aren't you proud? Hey, guys, aren't you so proud you voted for Orange Jesus because he promised you he was going to bring back. clean carbon neutral coal. It's another one of those moments where, and I think about it all the time, a lot, really. I wish I had just massive amounts of money because I would put billboards up all over this state, all over coal country, eastern Kentucky, southwest Virginia, northeast Tennessee. and it would just have a quote on the quote on it from what the 1995 playboy interview of Donald Trump in which he said

I like to think even if I'd been born in a shithole like West Virginia I would have had more gumption than to do something like be a fucking coal miner and maybe it wouldn't make any difference maybe they're just that far down the rabbit hole but it might get through to a few people they've been you know people I mean that's 530 people that don't know where their meals are coming from after April the 14th. You know, coal keeps the lights on, but it can't pay the electric bill. They're not going to be on for long. Coronado Global Resources blamed the layoffs on adverse market conditions. Let's see. They even issued a statement to West Virginia Metro News.

Sustained weakness in the U.S. high violence. markets has caused realized pricing at our Logan facility to remain below cash operating cost, and the complex is now operating at a loss. Therefore, the company is taking steps to preserve liquidity and protect shareholder value. So they're going to protect the shareholders, but fuck the people who actually do the work, fuck the people who actually get black lung in horrifying, horrifyingly high percentages. Production is being immediately curtailed to cover contractual commitments carried over from 2025, which are expected to be fulfilled by March 2026.

Accordingly, on Friday, February 13th, what a shitty day to do this to those guys. We issued all employees with notice in accordance with the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. If further economic offtake cannot be secured by the conclusion of the 60-day notice period, the Logan complex will be temporarily idle to minimize cash consumption while maintaining optionality should market conditions improve. Who teaches these people to write like this? No. And then comes the we're sorry. We recognize the significant impact this action has on our highly skilled and much valued workforces,

well as on the communitized which surround our Logan operations. Throughout the Warren period, we will continue to explore every commercially reasonable pathway to secure sales that could allow Logan to continue operating in some capacity in 2026. We're committed to communicating transparently with our employees and to supporting them through this period until we don't have to anymore, and we can tell them to go and fuck themselves and starve to death in the dark. Let's see. Tony Fork's Surface Mine in Laredo. That's a mountaintop removal site. elk lick loadout in Laredo, Powleton number one mine in Laredo,

Saunders Prep Plant in Laredo, Lower War Eagle number mine in Cyclone, Muddy Bridge Mine in Davin, and Eagle No. One Mine in Laredo. And they're even laying off their administrative staff, too. You know who's not going to be hurt by this? Come on. We know

the people who write press release is about maintaining our optionality in this difficult market conditions we'll protect the shareholders and when they say protect the shareholders you know you might be thinking of granny and grandpa sitting there somewhere

clipping coupons or whatever in their 401k no protect the shareholders means that the executive staff the boardroom the CFO the CCE the CTO, the C-O-O-O-O-they'll get theirs and, well, egg-am-foo. I got mine.

Fuck you. It's disgusting. The coal industry has always been disgusting. But hey, thanks for voting for Trump, you dumbasses. And, uh, tots and pairs. Yeah, tots and pairs. Tots and pairs. And from Tamara, uh, Ralph's is challenge.

$15 to go on that and then 40 more if we want to finish last week's funding. Tamara says we should get at least a dollar for every year of not snorting cocaine off a toilet seat. Damn fine idea, Tamara. That's great. That's a Lama Lama. Yeah, that's a buddy rich rim shop. Yeah. I do love my little buttons.

Great. I'm back down to zero. Thanks a lot, everybody. But I've got to get out of here. Listen, y'all, the back porch will stay. We'll keep going in my absence. For any of you who didn't get to get your say in, I'm sorry. Jump in next time.

And, you know, you can always call during the week, too, when it's just a one-on-one conversation. Just a reminder. Thanks, Ken, thanks so much for calling in. Great to hear from you. And thanks to each and every one of you who shares your precious finite time engaging in the program in whatever manner you choose. Thanks to our challenge makers, challenge respondents, a la carte contributors, PayPal and Patreon subscribers and contributors, Venmo and cash app contributors, folks who participate through the United States Postal Service.

Ralph says she'll extend the challenge. Thank you, Ralph. if you can take a moment on the podcast, leave us a remark, a comment, a review, whatever your podcasting platform lets you do. Thanks. Thank you, Emily, for the intro. By the way, a note coming in from Jude, who says, attender Aloha to Ken. Indeed. She said earlier, a distant connection listening to David and the reflections on President Kennedy.

my dear mother, kindred spirit, was about to enter the outdoor stadium where President Kennedy was speaking in Tacoma, Washington. My mother was rendered stopped by a massive coronary obstruction, collapsing. Such sensitive, interesting moments of memories. Thank you. Oh, my goodness, Jude, what a memory. I hope you're well. Think of you often.

We all do. The Horn's spiritual advisor, Jude. Thanks to the hardest working bravest people, I know the folks at Cold River Mountain Watch, CRMW.net over a quarter century at the forefront of the struggle for human rights and environmental justice in Appalachia and a proud union shop. Please stay safe. It is a dangerous world out there. Maggots with diseases, maggots with guns, ice goons, border patrol goons. Yeah, please stay safe. And of course, if Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome approaches you, catterwalling about

I fired that pilot because he lost my Blanky. My crusty Blanky. Well, avoid her like the plague. And Corey Lewandowski. Because they are. And always, always, always, Wayne and Gina, it's all for you. Have a great weekend, everybody. Later.
