That fucking camera angle. You can see that damn bolds going. Yeah. We got Gary Beakler in the house. That's right. Nerdronic on YouTube. We came across YouTube channel. You specialize in wholeness in movies.

Pop culture, cool. I cover the good, the bad, and the ugly from pop culture. There is stuff I like once in a while, but most of it's been pretty shit. Pop culture is something that the right has completely ignored for a long time. Right they have. They don't respect gamers. They don't respect nerds. And that's what kept them from succeeding for a long time because they don't understand that pop culture is a soft power of Hollywood.

Yeah, a lot of conservatives now see, understand where you have a culture war. And it's been going for a long time. Yeah. A long time. And it won't end. Why did this happen? The Marxist activists have infiltrated every institution in America and have for years for decades. This has been going on for decades.

And that was way too left. Like crazy left. You make TV and movies. These are leisure items and you're starting to use them as platforms and feeling emboldened enough to start saying it publicly and like, you know what? Half the country, go fuck yourself. Look like that culture kind of shot it stuff in the foot, though. Over like the last year ago. Oh, all of them did.

Yeah, they got way too arrogant. They bought into it, freaking Black Rock and all the investment firms. And they were just sold this bill that they were going to make tons of money off it. And then a beer company going with some dude with woman face on thinking like, Man, this will really appeal to our blue collar guys. Did they think they're like gay people were going to drink white beer? Fucking camera. I think you can see that damn bulge going.

Sucking in. Yeah. All right. Let's get this shit going. All right. Let's do it. Yeah. Welcome to episode 69.

We got Gary Beakler in the house. That's right. Yeah. What's up? You're I was born. So I'm old. Oh, shit. Born a 60. Oh, yeah, 69.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You look good. Thanks. Yeah. You aging like a fine wine. Oh, yeah.

Oh, shit. Yeah. I thought that would be a good icebreaker. Sure. Yeah. Full of it. What's up, guys? Thanks for me on, man.

Doug Butch, we came across YouTube channel. You specialize in wokenness in movies. commercialism. Pop guru, pop culture guru. Yeah. I cover the good, the bad and the ugly

from pop culture. There is stuff I like once in a while, but most of it's been pretty shit lately. Yeah. I mean, and it's,

it's, pop culture is something that, well, hey, the right has completely ignored for a long time. Right they have. They don't respect gamers.

They don't respect nerds. And that's what's kept them from succeeding for a long time because they don't understand that pop culture is, it's a term that the left likes to use, the soft power of Hollywood and of Silicon Valley, which is not very soft. It's pretty freaking hard. And ignoring that through all entities that provide

information to us, even if it's stories, has been, has led us to where we are today in this, which is kind of the age of chaos considering what's going on today. But that has a lot to do with ignoring what happened in pop culture and recognizing it. Yeah, a lot of conservatives now see, understand where you have a culture war going. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's been going for a long time. Yeah. A long time. And it won't end anytime soon. I think a lot of people after the election of Trump just thought, okay, we're done.

I think it's going to change overnight. No, no. We still got women. We still got dudes in women's sports. We got Elon and Trump going at it. Have you seen that? Oh, yeah, all day. He said Trump was in the Epstein, father. Yeah. I said, holy, no wonder it didn't come out. Yep.

Do you put any truth into that? Don't you think that if he was in the Epstein files that you would get, though, the Democrats would have released them. Everything would have been redacted except for Donald Trump's name with highlights and little red arrows to it. So I'm calling bullshit on that one. Yeah, then Trump came on and said, we could save a lot of money if we just cut off Elon Musk's. Yeah. This is a horrible breakup. It's a tray wreck.

It's something to him is going to happen. two billionaires? Yeah, two mega-le-ma just mega-egos. Yeah, yeah. It's honestly, though, it's it is kind of like, you have to laugh at it

it because it's not good. It's fucking horrible. It's totally, you're playing into the Democrats are just like, oh, thank God. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Lepis can start buying Teslas again. Oh, absolutely. And there's a lot of Republicans who are going to have

Tesla regret. you know it's going back the way you used to be burn their own Tesla I don't know what the fuck's going on I know man it's crazy I just know it's horrible it's not good at all

I mean like it and like this is going to stop the movement and its tracks for a while can't recover I mean Trump's recovered from so much other shit I'm not going to say this is going to stop MAGA or anything like that and I'm not an expert in it

but it's not good. I wish they would have done it behind closed doors and shut the hell up. That'd be the professional thing to do. But we're not dealing with that. So it's WWF. I don't say WW. Elon and Trump, they are the two biggest internet trolls. Yes, they're. They've always been. And now they're going back and pop up. I said, man, this is

maybe they can reconcile though. Do you think so? We say no. We say no, but they didn't like each other before. And we've seen people reconcile who have said far worse. Right. You know, I mean, some marriages get back together that shouldn't, you know. So, you know, who knows?

I guess the best you can do is kind of laugh at it right now because it is, this is going to have ramifications for the rest of the damn year. Yeah, the way he ended that tweet, Elon, he said he saw the Epstein files, and that's why they haven't been released. Then he said, have a good day, DJT. I'll say, and then under that tweet, he said, he said, he said, and then under that tweet, he leaves a reply. Mark this comment, mark this tweet, and check back in in about a year or something like that. It's like, man. Yeah, maybe they can reconcile.

I hope he's not on that. If he's on the Epstein list and they got a video of him banging some transgender or something, I'm like, you know what, I'm out of politics. This is over. I just think that would have been out years ago. Yeah. Prior to the 2016 election, like all of that. I just think they troll and they're beefing.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Damn. Yeah, no, it's actually depressing. Yeah, it is. It's super depressing. Yeah, I was about ready to check out this,

I said, you know what I'm done. Yeah. Because Elon, without Elon, man, I mean, I think he'd still would have won, but I think the race would have been a lot closer to the election. Yeah. Him buying Twitter changed everything. You can't take that away from him at all. Right, right.

And being with Elon and being. with RFK Jr. and bringing in other people. It looked you know, it looked like it was tenuous anyway. Right. I'm like, man, if they can make this work for a couple years, that'd be great. We've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. It's always been this fucking dog and pony

show that's all the politics in Hollywood. Washington is just Hollywood for ugly people, as you know. Yeah, I think they're the best too powerful people in the United States. Yeah, they're right there. Yeah. That's it. in America.

So we need Thanos, right? Is that what you? Bring them stones out. Bringing people together. Thanos was right, by the way. Yeah. Back to the cultural war thing.

It looked like that culture war kind of shot its stuff in the foot there over like the last year or so. Yeah. With Delamylvanian. Oh, all of them did. Yeah, they got way too arrogant. They bought into it.

And, you know, you guys know the reasons of freaking black rock. all the investment firms and they were just sold this bill that they were going to make tons of money off it. Yeah, and then a beer company going with some dude who's with woman face on thinking like, man, this will really appeal to our blue collar guys. Dylan Mulvaney. Yeah. Did they think they're like gay people were going to drink fucking light beer? For one, there's not enough of them and they'll never drink fucking light beer. Right, right. It don't make sense because he's, fans was like a majority of female

gay men probably around in their early teens. Yeah. Yeah. On TikTok. Yeah, not ruling. It's disturbing enough. Right, right, right. Let's use this person to sell more beer. It didn't make any sense. No, and it was so absurd that I, you know,

and I got tired to see him his freaking face all over my timeline. It's annoying, right? Yeah, you know, you just go start like looking at puppy videos or something like that and I'll go away. But like, it was so annoying, but it was again, it was so absurd. It's like, I'm glad it happened. Right.

Because it really kind of, everybody went, wait, well, wait a minute. Like, why is this guy on a beer can?

Yeah. And they kept going. Yeah. Your freaking Jaguar. Look what they did. Yeah. And they had to pull back on that. We're like,

is this, is this a parody? We're in a parody world still. I'm like, if you want to sell beer, why do you sponsor me? I could have sold more beer than a transgender. I'm sober and I could have sold more beer.

Like, I don't drink this shit, but you should. Yeah, that Jaguar ad, like when you was on Pierce Morg, he made a great point. He's like, that ad could have worked at the very end. A masculine guy could have came in beat everybody's ass. You got in a nice hot jaguar and drove on. Uh-huh.

You know, it's a match for it. It could have worked. We were waiting for that to happen. Yeah. And we're like, no, they were serious with this. Wow. So a lot of out-to-touch people, a lot of companies hiring woke white women, the bane of our existence.

That's it. You know, in marketing who are 23 years old with no freaking experience and not really good at school either. Right. Thinking, you know, I think it's such a good idea. I have a transgender guy and a beer can. It's like, Jesus Christ, you know.

Yeah. I think women is the reason why we have like, especially in high school sports, you have these dudes masquerading as women because women, they support that. Yeah. Over women. Yes.

Yeah. I mean, the women are split. There's the Terps, you know. Right. J.K. Rowling, who we don't agree on 99% of our views except for one, which I totally agree with. Girl is a girl. Yeah. Right.

But yeah, it's, that's, that's part of the problem is the women have allowed this to happen. The schools have mostly run by women have allowed that to happen. I mean, you know, just even on like high school level, look at most of the faculties, you know, and that's, that brings us to the culture wars. Like, why did this happen? Well, because the activists, the Marxist acts of activists, have infiltrated every institution in America and have for years, for decades. This has been going on for decades. And that was- Too left.

Way too left. Like, crazy left. And then they're going to end up if things keep going. And they think it's Trump and they're wrong, by the way. They're going to end up building what they hate. They're going to, like, it's going to swing the other way. Nobody wants that. We just want to have, like, for one,

One, Marxists are against fun, so fuck them. I like having fun. They don't like us being comfortable. I'll never forget. Jar Jar Abrams, I call him Jarjar. Fuck that guy. Who directed two shitty Star Wars movies and destroyed Star Trek, so fuck him for both of that. While L.A. was burning during the riots, his company, Bad Robot, put up this list of

no more of this, no more of that. One of the things he said was enough white comfort. It's like, motherfucker, you make your money off a comfort. Yeah. Okay. You make TV and movies. These are leisure items, and you're now starting to use them as platforms and feeling like they've always kind of thought that.

But they feel emboldened enough to start saying it publicly and like, you know what, half the country, go fuck yourself. Yeah. What does that even mean, white comfort? It means we have to be thinking. See, activists don't want anybody. That's why they are out to agitate. That's entire job is to always, how could you be comfortable?

when there's a fucking genocide going on right now. How could you be comfortable when there's racism? How could you be comfortable when this injustice is going? Well, I'm sorry, you know, sweetheart. There's an injustice going on in the world every fucking day, and I can't think about it. I'm sorry. But what I could do is not be a dick. I think that's kind of...

That's what I can do. That's within my power. Right. But they all... And they want you uncomfortable. They always want you on your back foot. That's why they're always attacking you. You guys know this.

Because they want you on your back foot. It's the art of war. You want you in a defensive position all the time. And eventually, you know, I would say the side of common sense finally had enough over the last year. So it's like, fuck this. Shut up. I don't care what you say. I mean,

I have called racist for so long now. It's just kind of laugh at it. Right. Just to have a common sense. Yep. Yep. crazy in the left has been California, New York, Illinois still voted blue. It's like so disheartening. It's um Stockholm syndrome and there's also a lot of very good there's super

base people in all those states who are trapped because in California anyway I can speak for California and I'm sure the same thing happened in those these states too when the Democrats got their super majority because I'm old so I grew up in California when it was red and saw it turn to purple, thanks Arnold Schwarzenegger, you piece of crap. And then it went full Democrat, thanks to him. And then they, Jerry Brown, they reelected Jerry Brown again,

Moonbeen Brown back to the office. And he was honestly a better governor, Gavin Newsom, which is crazy to say that little calming. But, no, they redistrict the state. So they guaranteed their supermajority forever. Like, it would take a Republican, super majority to come in and redistrict the state again and that's just never going to

happen. That's the same thing they accused Republicans are doing in red states that we're, the way we are setting up everything is going to always be Republican. But they did that in California. They did in California and the Republicans are doing it too because they have to. And this is like guess who loses? We do. We

lose. Yeah. You know, because a super majority of one party sounds, hey, if they're agreeing with you now sounds great, but shit changes. I mean, look at a lot of Democrat, look at a lot of the disaffected Democrats now who like hate what their party has become. You know, and some of them have moved to Republican. Most of them have moved to independence.

And that's... You heard about Biden's press secretary? Yeah. Yeah. Do you think she's being truthful or she's just trying to sell a book? She's trying to sell a book and she's a little commie anyway. So she just wants to go back to the Communist Party, which until the Democrat fully becomes it.

She's a paid lawyer. She's been learned for like three years. Right, right, right, right. She wrote a book. She came out of the book yesterday. What? How messed up her part of you is. Obviously, somebody else wrote the book. Remember I she would answer her questions looking down?

Yeah, oh, yeah. What she's supposed to say? Right, right, right. You think she wrote a book? No, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no. Hey, I was watching, um, where the Last of Us. Do you familiar with that show?

I'm familiar with it. Oh, yeah. It was a good show. Right? It started off pretty good, man. It was a little woke, wokey in the first season, but I could overlook it. It lost me in the third season. episode that you had the gay episode I was out. Oh yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. I said, man, why's he throwing this in? I said, but I'm going to keep watching it.

But then I got to the second seat. I said, I knew I should have stopped watching it as soon as I got to the first episodes in the first season. It was really, so what we see is repeated patterns, right? So it was really interesting to see a bunch of my friends, sorry, a bunch of my friends who do, you know, I'm a master game. Like, no, I'd suck at gaming. I, I, oh, really? But my friends, friends are like really and so geeks and gamers and as from heel versus baby face and Ryan Kinnle. Um, they were all struck by naughty dog.

So when the game came out and the sequel to the game and they killed Joel, uh, people, and they were lying to the public. They were like misleading people with trailers, like aging him in the trailers to make it look like he was in more of the game. And then they baked and switched you with this intersectional feminist. And the Abby in the game is way worse.

Like she's all fucking. Jacked. Right. She's like a dude. That's what my son was telling me. Yeah, yeah. So the memes were coming out all over the place. Like my friend Jeremy posted a Scott Steiner meme of just Scott Steiner's head on Abby,

holding a fucking five iron. Yeah. And he got, his channel got struck. What? His channel got struck off a meme? Off a meme and talking about spoilers. Ryan, my friend Ryan almost lost his channel. He got struck twice.

My friend Az got struck. So naughty dog was out there. That's her in the show. Right. Yeah, that's her in the show. That's her in the show. game. Little bit different.

Yeah. That's crazy. The resemblance is uncanny. The arms, all kinds of games. The shoulders. I think the black snake casting is more accurate. Yeah.

That's nice. So, yeah. So we knew this was coming in season two. Like, everybody knew it was coming. So I was just waiting for it. I knew a guy who worked on the show. And we were actually in Vegas. For my meetup a couple weeks ago, he's like,

it's happening this week. they're killing Joel and I'm like you know what good fuck Pedro Pascal yeah I don't she caves his fucking head in oh she did him wrong yeah in the show yeah and that's the second time he's had his head caved in on HBO right right yep that was brutal but um yeah it it is it is a direct connection to the culture war and everything that's And it really just exemplifies everything that's wrong with Hollywood.

Like the guy writing the running the show, Neil Druckman was just convinced like his vision was so great, even though like he had a lot of help with the first game. First game is a massive hit. Apparently it's a good story. Me, I'm like, I'm done with zombie fucking stories where people just turn in, where I end up rooting for the zombies at the end.

Yeah. It's like, it's just horrible people going out. It's like, just eat them all. I don't care. Right. And I, yeah, Nobody wants to explore a zombie apocalypse where they discuss, you know, gender issues. Right.

A girl's going to say, I'm a dad. Yeah, she's dead. Yeah. I'm going to be a dad. What was that? The zombie show, the Walking Dead. Walking Dead, man. The last several seasons, they put a gay male couple, gay female couple.

They put a bitch to death. Like, she made it to all that damn. She made it. A deaf one. Yeah. Like you got all these zombies seen people But you survived

Your death You can't hear shit Yeah So because of Ethan That's how you hear them coming That's how you know they're there Yep But she survives

No All the all the All the characters That check all the boxes Have the most plot armor In absolutely everything And it's just It's in everything

We can go back to even A Game of Thrones Like Arias Stark Great character Great character Great character in the books had all the plot armor in the world towards the end. She got all the good kills.

You took the kill away from John Snow and it ended in disaster. And they said, well, we thought it was too obvious to give it to John Snow. So you gave all the kills to Aria and you turn her into Mary Sue and it's a character we liked. And this all happened around the same time. Donald Trump's first election broke entertainment, broke Silicon Valley. And they started colluding and working together. and all of a sudden you start seeing the same things, themes and everything.

And I thought it was going fucking crazy when I first saw it. I'm like, man, some of the stuff I'm saying, thank God there's not a lot of people watching because I sound insane. That show, the last of us, they said the opening viewership on the show was 9 million. The last episode of the second season was all the way down to 2 million. That's crazy. And those numbers track with what's happening now Hollywood overall. Everything's down.

Everything's down. They're backing out. Like, I was watching Ozarks. That was a great show. And then the FBI agent was gay. And then he was fucking his partner. They were both gay. And then I was like, where did this come from?

He's like, piss me off of these guys do not come off as gay. Yeah, then he starts screwing his CI. A redneck hillbilly that was gay. Yeah, he was gay. Yeah. I was like, this is not even believable. I started watching it. I didn't like it.

I knew it would get gay. But that's what happened. That's how they draw you in. You were too homophobic. I am too homophobic. I was like this stuff, it's like they cramming it down our throats. Yeah.

If it makes sense in the story, like there's, okay, Umbrella Academy season one had a really interesting gay story that made it work because it was part of the story and it wasn't a greedist. But no,

I do not seek out two dudes. It snuck up on me. It's like, I looked at my wife and said, this dude's so f***. Yeah. And then it started one episode, the black dude was getting sucked off. You see somebody's head going down.

So, oh, he's getting sucked up a woman. And then that's his partner like, sucking him off. I'm like, man. Wow. I said, I looked at my wife, do they got to put this in everything? Yeah, they do. It's part of their worldview, right? And listen, there's no underrepresentation of gay people in Hollywood.

We get it. It's a lot of gay people in Hollywood. And it's fine if it reflects the regular population. populations percentage. Not Hollywood's well I mean shit everybody's gay in Hollywood Yeah but um you know it was Fine before but now it's Feeling forced and now with all the checkboxes

We notice it and when when they do a certain casting or they In a third season of a hit show They're like we need to put a gay story in Right right we'll show all those Chuds and right wing Republicans Here's some gay rednecks You know And it's the same

It's the same reason to go on me because I'm a redneck And you know that one show, Law and Order, love that show, right? But the last season I was watching it got so woke, she adopted a child, and the child was telling everybody about there, there's a girl in her school that's non-binary, and we call her they and how they suspended kids because it's being cruel to her by calling her a boy, I stopped watching that show immediately. Yeah, yeah. I was like, this is stupid.

It's programming at this point, especially when they, you know, with procedural TV, they can always put in that topic of the week in there. And they always did that. But that's the programming that they, gender doesn't matter. There is no difference between boys and girls. And we're all just going to be like little blobs and gray suits, eating our bugs and living, living in state property. You know, that's what they want.

That's what they think. And they think it's progress and they think it's good. And there is a high percentage, a very high percentage of trans kids in Hollywood. You notice that? Yeah, yeah. Like everybody, all their kids are trends. All of them. And it's because they are accessories.

Yeah. Their kids are fucking accessories to them. And it's no wonder they come out like just, just completely crazy. Yeah. And we, the taxpayer, are going to end up paying for their therapy or hospital or whatever. That doesn't make any sense why some of these people, like some of these people that get locked up and we got to pay for that therapy. When they was in military, we have to pay for their sex chance. Like, that doesn't make any sense.

No, it makes sense when you have an agenda, when they're trying to force it on it. but it's so freaking insane. And you know what? They get away with it because they can or they could. And we'll see how far they get away with it. Yeah. But no, I don't like my tax money going to bombing people or transing people in prison. I don't really give it, you know, as somebody who's that, I don't give a shit what happens to you in prison.

You serve your fucking time. Play your fucking dominoes and try not to get to try not to die. Try not to get straight. But if you do, you know, you know what you're getting into. Yeah. Is it true that they're going to, what is it, Black Panther, it's going to be a white guy? Yes, okay. That's crazy.

I do not want to see a white dolomite. I do. No, no. No, I don't, I don't either. I don't want to see a black Superman or a black superwoman because she's going to have an attitude. I'm not putting up with that. You don't want a black superwoman now. Oh, no, you didn't.

Oh, no, you ate. You know, Lois Lane turned herself into a black woman. Really? Yeah, she did. It's a 60s comic. or she turns herself to a black woman who lived the experience. No, it was a very serious comic

from the 60s. They were trying real hard. But yeah, so white Black Panther is from, it's futuristic, so it takes place in the, it's not like an alternate universe. It's from a series that's supposed to take place a little bit in the future. And a white kid,

blonde hair, blue eyes, challenges to Chala for Wakanda and beats them and becomes Black Panther. When I first heard it, I'm like, get the, you've got to be fucking. I fix the raisin to be through the roof for this. So the guy who wrote it, though, Christopher Priest, kind of based dude. So I think he's kind of like poking the bear a little bit. Like, nobody wants a white black panther.

Nobody. Nobody wants a white Shang-Chi. It's fucking ridiculous. But if this is a subtle move, and I don't know, but if it's a subtle move to kind of show the absurdity of the shit we've gone through, I think it's great because the it's just a fictional character crowd has been fucking freaking out on Twitter so I've been just loving it

I was just like ha ha ha yeah yeah no I don't want a black a white black panther but god damn it's funny right I think it's gonna do good oh it's gonna crush

I'm buying it I'm buying it I am absolutely buying it it's definitely going to crush yeah it's shallow effect it probably it might set records I'm gonna frame it on my I hope he's on the cover.

White people will fucking support that just to piss off these sub-Saharan people pissing off everybody. Because you know it's a lot of black fatigue going around. That's probably why he did it. That's probably Christopher Priest is black. Just need to point out. So based dude, yeah, Christopher Priest is black. Hates has called out like the fact that he was given like black titles all the time.

He's like, fuck that. I want to draw, I want to write forever. He's a writer. And he's a great writer, by the way, for comic. So, yeah, I think he's kind of, I think he's kind of winking and poking the bear a little bit. I think it's fucking great. Well done, sir, if that's what your intention was. Yeah.

Y'all like that last ram we gave away? Yeah. So we got us another one. Check this ram out. 2,500, heavy-duty, turbo disk, RAM. R-A-M-R-A-M-R-A-M-R-A-M. It's got all kinds of RAM action. Yeah, I love this RAM.

You get rid of RAM something with this. What color is this graphite? That is White Supremic right there. got a good handle on it. See that handle? Built like a tank, but it drives like a race car. Go to Fisherhartswitz.com. Anything you buy from the site get you automatically.

It'll win it. Yeah. No purchase necessary. Going away from here to see official rules with detail. Yeah. Before you got started on YouTube, you own a comic book store? I did. Oh, okay.

For 10 years in San Francisco. Wow, really? Yeah. But you see some crazy shit in there. Oh, I did. Yeah. Oh, where do I start? They used to test.

drugs, two doors down. So every Friday, I get every homeless person, you know, get like for $20, they stick them with whatever. I have no idea what they stick them with. They come in. I had to kick them out in my store. Yeah. They come in wasted. Yeah, it's, and I was in the nice part, but mostly it was great. Like the, you know, people, believe it or not, normal people live in San Francisco. A lot of normal people live there. And it was a great 10 years. And I got to meet some comic artists and some movie stars, late Ray Stevenson, Noel Neil, Chubaca, came to my, you know, Peter Mayhew,

came to the store. It was tons of fun. And it kind of prepped me for for whatever I'm doing now, because I stood at a counter all day, and I just talked nerd shit all day with the people who came in. And politics was left at the door. We didn't talk about politics. There's two rules.

You don't talk about politics in my store, and you can't use the bathroom unless I know you. So for obvious, well, obvious reason. San Francisco. Somebody's shooting up in there. Yeah. But it was great, and it was a great experience, and it reminds me of what we lost, like, in fandom, is we had that camaraderie without the bullshit.

Yeah, without the politics. Without the politics, we just enjoyed Star Wars. It was a great. The early 2000s were great, and it's kind of, like, up to 2010 was like the last great time for nerddom. It's been downhill ever since. So you saw that shift around 2010? Yeah.

It was creeping in a little, I mean, like, we want to go through the whole. history lesson of political correctness. It really started getting bad in the 90s, but didn't get bad in comics until the mid-2000s, 2010s, when DC purposefully Batwoman, you know that the series

that was on CW that sucked. It was actually based on a comic that sucked. And the whole sole purpose of her being in the comics was to be a gay woman. That was it. It's gay woman in comics, a lesbian in comics. Great. Fantastic. We've had gay characters before.

It was nothing really new, but then they started turning everybody gay. And I mean, everybody. Superman was gay. Robin, Tim, Tim Drake is gay. Iceman, gay. The X-Men are all freaking gay now. Right. You know, and being the gate with his son, they made, they aged up.

This is the weird thing is they had these super sons comic that was, yeah, there he is right there. That was really popular. So they aged him up. to be gay so they can get these headlines and everybody fucking hated it and it got canceled. So they got a bunch of headlines

and oh God, yes, we did a live reading of this on a live stream. Oh, what is this? I am not. So this is, yeah, so there's... Starfire. Yeah, and that's her daughter, right? And it's a self-insert. So the author, Marika Tamaki, looks exactly like the fat girl. Like exactly.

It's a self-insic. That's the thing of basically a lot of the woke writing, especially when it comes from, I mean, this is how women fucking ruin comics. Sorry, folks. They did. So they brought in their little fan. They ruined women sports too. Yeah, they did. Women are ruining women.

What the fuck? No, they brought in their fan. and there's a long story behind it. They brought in their fanfic and fanfic is fucking horrible. Fanfic and shipping are the... Yeah, look, she looks just like her. Wow. It's a self-insert.

So, you know, Miss Marvel, that's a self-insert too from Sana Aminot, who works at Marvel, who was connected with the Obama family. Oh, I can get into the weeds with you guys. But there was a poll done on, and this is even before when I was in YouTube. So other great YouTubers have covered this. But there was a poll on Facebook that basically asked, are you interested in comics? And half the answers came from women.

And all of a sudden, the comic industry is like, well, my God, half the population are potential customers. We need to hire more women. All of our staffs have to be half women. Everything has to be half women. And you can pinpoint that's where things went to shit. And then we got the, you know, all new, all different Marvel. And then they started changing the mantle.

We got Black Captain America. We got gay ice man. We got everything you're seeing that's destroying the MCU now in the comics, and it completely failed. So when we saw it starting to come in the MCU, we were just like, hey, you know, you guys are doing the same shit and it's going to end up failing. And we got a lot of clapback.

Like it was a good barometer. Say, hey, just failed in the comics while we bring this stuff to move. It's going to fail, yeah. It failed within the same company. You had your own fucking data that you ignore. So when we saw Captain Marvel come out and it made a billion dollars, but some of us were like, man, this is going to go to shit. And we got a lot of clapback at the time, but look where we are now. Two flops in a row.

Fantastic Four is coming. They got a female Silver Surfer. They're still doing the same shit. And I could rattle on for an hour all the gender and race swaps they've done. But just recently, if we want to go to this year, the two most ridiculous are female Silver Surfer. Now, if you're old school comic book fans, Silver Surfer is one of the same. of the coolest fucking characters they've ever created it's a fucking surfer he's in silver he's got the power cosmic he used to be a herald of galactus yeah surfs around space and you know for the

longest time was the most powerful non-god superhero in the marvel universe until they made captain marvel the girl captain marvel o peter wow oh and they even have they had black panther beat him and like i'll respect to black panther he's not beating fucking silver surfer get the fuck out um but then uh and then black snake like And these are all, these are deliberate moves. These are not good businesses. That's why it's so obvious. Like, she looks terrible.

Look at that. Like a Terminator, 2-1,000. Liquid metal. Yeah. And the T-1,000 looked better in 1991. Right, right, right, right, right. She looks, the Silver Surfer from the movie almost 20 years ago from Rise of the Silver Surfer looks better than that. It's fucking awful.

and these are deliberate castings like nobody was going to watch this the Fantastic Four or Harry Potter and go you know what Snape needed to be black and the Silver Surfer needed to be a woman nobody on earth would have said that even fucking woke people probably

they're too dumb to think of it so no it was a bunch of HR fucking idiots I've been told from a pretty decent source that this wasn't even Kevin Feige's decision it came from above him so there's only two people above them. So it's Bob Iger and the other guy is running the studios.

Yeah. But it's a deliberate decision. And with Black Snape, you didn't even get a black guy who like looks like state, like with a hook nose or something like that. I know you got somebody, as my friend Ryan says, off like GQ Africa and brought him in to be Snape. Snape has like specifically well, we know what Silver Surfer looks like. He's a dude. He's Norn Rad. This is supposed to be Shala Ball, his wife. This is Snape. I mean, again, the resemblance is uncanny. That is nuts. Yeah.

So he specifically described in the books multiple times, straight black hair that hangs around his face like a curtain. He's been called pale multiple times. His skin was marble white. I don't know how you're going to get your skin marble white, but I mean, maybe, you know, I guess my running theory is if you put a bunch of makeup on this dude, maybe he's the greatest actor ever.

So they're just going to, like, put a... bunch of, you know, like that Eddie Murphy skit from SNL? Yeah. If you do that, okay, fine. But I'm just- They put a lot of pressure on that black guy. You got a lot of pressure. He's got to know.

Yeah. Dude, you're going to bomb so hard. He is going to get destroyed. And like the Harry Potter fandom is like, I, I, we hear this a lot. Racist Star Trek fans, racist Doctor Who fans. Right. Racist Harry Potter. It's like, are you fucking kidding?

Have you seen the Harry Potter or Doctor Who or Star Trek fandom? Have you seen them? They're the least racist people on the planet. So to piss them off, you must have made a really bad decision. Right. And the Harry Potter fans are not fucking having this at all, which is pretty funny. The actor, it was a black actor. He came out and said that the last Star Wars, that Star Wars fans are so racist.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So racist. The racist Star Wars fans that like Land, Calrissian or Mace Window. I guess they just took the day off for those two. But he tried to mention that. He basically called him tokens.

And it's like, bro, they're major characters, for one. And this was in 83. The only thing I knew is Billy D. Williams was one of the coolest fucking people on the planet. He sold this Colt 45 beer. And he fucked over Han Solo. But then he became a good guy later. You know? They're pandering.

Let me tell you, Starwood always had the vibe of people. in the most whitest elite space. This franchise is so white that it's like a black person existing in that was something. And you can always tell it something when some Star Wars fans try to say, well, we, you know, we had Landau Calvician and had

Sammy L. Jackson. It's like telling me how many cookie chips are on the cookie dough. I'm like, they just scattered that in there, bro. They're okay with us playing the best friend. But once we touch their heroes, once we lead, once we trailblaze, it's like, oh my God,

just a bit too much. They're pandering. Last time I checked, I didn't fucking write shitty Star Wars movies. Yeah. So it was Jar Jarabrams and Rianne Johnson who took his character of Finn who, like arguably

was the most compelling character from when we first saw that first Force Awakens trailer. He's the most compelling character. You're like, oh shit, a stormtrooper that could turn and become a Jedi? That's fucking rad. And it was the writers of those movies that made him a fucking joke and a janitor for the empire they made him a fucking janitor like like dude like who's the

racist so no i reject that completely fuck you right we had fin's bet we had his back before but you know dude they shrunk him on the poster for china really did the fans do that no fucking disney yeah you didn't know that so there's a force awakens poster for china but they uh he was much bigger in it for america and you go to the chinese he's one, he's like this big. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, they covered up Chadwick Bozeman's face.

You got it? Yeah. There's the American one. You got to squint. You can see him down there. I can't even see him. There is. That's crazy.

Yeah. So for Black Panther, they took Chadwick Bowesman's face. They put a mask on it. Right. Yeah. They put a mask on it for them. Yeah. And then for Little Mermaid, they made her blue.

Oh, really? Yeah, they made her blue. And like they tinted it blue so they can be blacker. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, this is also the same company that thank the province that's associated with concentration camps in China from Milan. So like, shut the fuck up, dude. Yeah.

He's just talking. His career's over now. Yeah. Yeah, there's the Little Mermaid one. Wow. You can't tell. Yeah. Which is black white or.

anything. No. Yeah, they had a member, I think it was a stage play, Romeo and Juliet that one black trick that looks like a like a lesbian. Yeah. With Tom Holland? Yeah, I was like, everybody's like, this is so not believe

No, I mean, it actually made me question who was Romeo and who was Julia. I think she would have been a better Romeo, to be honest with it. Yeah. Yeah, that was, I mean, totally believable. Man, that girl will suck you. You all.

The big girls. She got a mustache? Yeah. She's dumb Luca. Oh, shit. Oh, no. Like, that pissed everybody up.

It's like, oh, my God, this has went too far. Yeah. It was so funny. People were posting the day before they announced Hermione. Yeah. That she was going to play Hermione. And so many people believed it. Never mind the fact.

is almost 30, you know, and Hermione's like 10. Yeah. But people were believing it because like, why not? We live in such a crazy time right now. It's like, oh, sure, a 30-year-old black lesbian playing Hermione. I can fucking believe it at this point. Yeah, then Captain America, they gave to a black guy. He's a very good actor.

I forget his name. Anthony Mackey, he's great. Yeah, he came out and said some things that really created a lot of turmoil before that movie came out. I forget what he said. Do you remember what he? Yeah, he said basically that Captain America. doesn't really represent America.

I mean, I'm paraphrasing it. And it's like... Why would he say that? I think he got caught in... I think he was trying to say, like, it's got mass appeal, but he really just said it fucking wrong. Like, as wrong as you could. And like, motherfuckers like me are going to go, see?

You know? See? Told you. Right, exactly. The thing is, it sucks what they did to him because he was a great Falcon. and Falcon is Marvel's second black character and doesn't have black in front of his name and he was Captain America's part in the week.

We all, the reason Black Panther succeeded the way it did, great marketing. They convinced America that you would be racist if you don't go to see Black Panther. But for comic fans, well-established character, part of the Avengers, been reading him all my life, love the character, love Falcon, no problem, they're great on their own.

Now you're giving them, it's a great example, to make him more legitimate you're giving him Captain America's hand-me-downs because it's not legitimate until you get the white man's hand-me-downs. That's fucking racist. God damn it. My friend Eric July is the one who brought that up a lot. And he's right.

He's 100% right. You had an independent character that you could have just had leading the Avengers, but you had to make him Captain America. It's the soft bigotry of low expectations. And that's why we don't, you know, we don't get original characters now because they don't really believe in it. They don't believe in their fucking diversity. If you did, you would create an original character.

You would put all the resources you possibly could behind it. But the best writer, best artist, doesn't matter what they look like. And if it's a black character, doesn't have to be a black writer, doesn't have to be just the best. They need to be the best. Make it popular.

Tom McFarlane made a black character really popular. Spahn. You know, so like it's not hard. You just put the best talent behind. it and you put resources if you really fucking believe it, which they don't. That's why they always gender swap and race swap. They don't believe in Captain Marvel or Breed Larson, not one fucking bit.

They're like, look at this O.P. girl. You know, there's a thing called the hero's. There was a hero's journey. You go through a journey as a hero, you've got to answer the call, you know, and it kind of acts as a curve. You know, it's a character arc. Right. The hero's journey is a straight line. It is, she was awesome to begin with, and everybody else just need to figure it out by

the end of the movie. And that's pretty much what they do. That's why these movies feel fucking lame because they are. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I want to see Black Panther. I like the movie. It's just they had too much African culture in it. I was like, they showed a guy

he had a big old plate in his lip. And his lip was like, that was stupid. And they showed a guy he had all these key lords all over his face. I said, that has nothing to do with being black. Not in my book. They put African culture in it. Yeah. They made it like African

culture black they did and then they had an isolationist ethno state in the middle of a poverty poverty stricken africa and they had all these fucking resources they weren't sharing in a giant wall right yeah based and in the second movie a bunch of a bunch of latin people are trying to break into their country through the wall like what the hell's going on yeah yeah yeah some racial other toes like the economy illegally yeah i was telling i was telling i was telling and Joe, there's a part in Wakanda forever where they're lowering a force field and they lower it with with DJs. That's how they lower the force field. And you know that we were talking to you.

It's like, you know, a bunch of white people were sitting there making decisions. This is going to be so cool. It's so urban. They really like the DJs and the hip hop. You know. Yeah. You know what's funny? You made that point.

I mean, we went out to eat with these past business partners and they were like whitey, white, white, right? and he took us to this nice place and no black people was in there. A black guy walked in, he's like, was that Eddie Murphy? I was like, that was not Eddie Murphy. He was like, that was not fucking Eddie Murphy.

I was like, you fucking racist piece. We all look like. A couple months go by, we in North Carolina. And he said, man, black guy walks by. Is that Don Cheeto? I was like, what the hell? That is not dumb Yeah, he was dead serious

You know white people make you uncomfortable Right And I'm like very hard to make uncomfortable You can say some of the most racist thing In front of me jokes And I wouldn't be offended That's good And they were

I noticed like when I get around Certain white people when he first minute How you doing brother? Let's let you. He started talking jive to him I'm like Dude I don't even talk like that Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah Like an airplane I speak jive Yeah Yeah. Well, mostly the woke white people try that hard. Yeah. I mean, they're that fucking bad because they're not used to it.

And that's, I mean, that's, you know, I'm not the only person who's come up with this, but I think it's pretty clear they want to keep people on the plantation. They want to keep people part of that party, you know, the, the rise of the black middle class would be fucking great. It would be great for this country. It would be great for the world. Be better for neighborhoods. You know,

crime would go down. But no, it was just like, and that's something that was happening that they put the kibosh on, you know, and it's sad. Too much up can actually kill your aspirations to try harder. Yeah, that's what,

I mean, to get really serious, like one of the things I observed, well, obviously in prison, it's mostly black people. Like, they are the majority. Yeah. And then there's the Latin people who are split into ones for men.

Mexico and the Chicano's, you eat each other's fucking guts. That's so weird. It is so weird. And then there's white guys. And, you know, it's, it's a mix, but there's definitely the Aryan racist, crazy motherfuckers with swastikas on their fucking foreheads. It's like, well, you're going to be here the rest of your life. Yeah.

Hope you live. I remember I got locked up because I didn't want to sign a ticket. I was like, I was early 20s, early 20s, just total Democrat, right? And I went to jail overnight And a number of black guys And all the Mexican guys had Tattoos all over their face And they were illegal

It couldn't speak word of English And then there was one Asian guy We was in this room looking at TV And I looked over at the Asian guy He's just sitting back looking at everybody It's like with this looking What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I here?

I'm a tax evader Yeah I didn't see any white guys Really? All black Latinos, Southern California, jail. One Asian guy. There's not a lot. There was not a lot.

And what's crazy is so I don't remember seeing an Asian guy once in prison. Like I know there was because there's Asian gangs in San Francisco. They're horrible. But I just don't think they're caught. They're smarter. They're smarter. I saw a lot of a lot of Native Americans, Indians in there. There's quite a few and they're pretty cool, actually, to hang out with.

But what I said, God, it was also. segregated when I was in. So it was like in the 90s. So white guy with white guy, black guy with black guy. And you didn't like sometimes you got a solo cell because they just couldn't parry up. And you know. Yeah. And but the thing I, I noticed is the vast majority are black and it's, it's it's it's it's ever see trading places? They kind of like go, is it environmental? Is it? It's both. Right. It's fucking both. Yeah. And what you have is a bunch of law. young men with no fucking hope. Like zero hope.

And across the board, there's abuse. There's no dad. Rarely do you have a case like me who's just a fuck up who had a good dad. Right. But it's, and it's sad. And I have no answer for it. Prison's not the answer. Whatever they keep voting in in California where I was for decades and decades,

not the fucking answer. A lot of these jails in California heard is for profit. They're private institutions and they got these people working and not paying them anything and they're making money off the product that they're producing it in jail. It's crazy.

Kamala Harris was putting a bunch of people in there keeping them in longer, but she is just one of many. They talk about the slave labor in there. It's like, listen. I worked, I was glad, like, rehabilitation worked on me and I got a good job because I could read.

And it was a long time ago and I could type so I got a dollar a day and I was happy to get it. I roll up get my cart in a smokes and my top ramen and I was pretty fucking happy. Good old days. Good old days. You know, when you can smoke in there. Got your bugler. You rolled your cigarettes. Yeah.

But you can't smoke down for a fucking prison would really suck without smoking. Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah. How would you do with distress? No, but it's super corrupt. I always tell the story when I was And this will be in the book

I was in I was in Folsom Old Folsom and I was What were you in there for? Okay so I I it's bad Okay Not good You seem like a great guy I wasn't before

I was a hopeless drug addict Oh okay Super meth head But it was like meth today It's crank I was on cranked Dude I'm too much of a pussy to take meth It's fucking terrible And my mom used to

wake me up every night my mom used to wake me up I'm not shitting you two three in the morning you didn't do any drugs did you you're not a homosexual are you every night my mom would wait me up she was like could you ask me in the morning like crazy she's so worried she just had to wake you three in the morning yeah still straight son are you I like Bob I promise I'm not gay the mom I love crushing pussy yeah yeah no it's uh where was okay so So I got busted for first degree burglary twice. So twice within like a year. So a couple years.

So did a lot of other like like on that minor. But a lot of stuff that got dropped that just got dropped. White privilege, huh? White privilege. For real. No, the first one was it really wasn't me. Like so the first time I got busted like bad. was I had some Batman handcuffs hanging from my car

this cop who fucking hated me pulled me over for it and the dealer was behind me and he was not supposed to bring in a scale and all that shit he had his fucking scale he had three ounces of crank so he told of course he told the cops it was mine a fucking piece of shit

yeah so I'm like fuck so I have to go in I go in and my dad gets me this lawyer once and it gets dropped you know And it's not because that guy admitted it. I took care of him later. I took care of his ass later.

I took care of his ass later. Son of a bitch. I waited, but a couple of years. So that was the start. And then I really graduated into getting high. And I didn't have a job, needed money. I was car hopping. And I decided to go to the big leagues.

Is it true that they say marijuana? as a gateway drug to everything else. I mean, it was for me. Yeah. It was. Because I'm like, this is cool, but it's not good enough. And I took that crank and it's like, for one, it's only good ones. It sucks every single time after that.

Oh, you're trying to be good. But it's, yeah, I like speed. I like being up, doing stuff. Right. But it's fucking hard. It's like a stimulant, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

It keeps you going. Dude, I did it sell this stuff in 7-11. They call them mini things. You remember that? No. It was meth. I took like, you remember that? I remember that, yeah.

We used to work long hours. Many of the truck drivers used to take it. It was just, it was meth in a pill and they used to sell in 7-11. It later got banned, but I took like, like eight of them. And I took like five showers. I kept walking around the house. My mom was like, what the hell is wrong with you? What did you take?

Are you on drugs? I'm like, no, no, no drugs. I'm about this stuff at 7-Eleven. Yeah. Yep, that's it. Wow. I could not sit still. I felt like something was crawling in my hair.

I went up the street, had sex with the ugliest white woman on the planet. And I came home. I called Keith. I was depressed. I said Keith, man, I took these middathains. These middithes.

I can't sit still. I ran to the girl. Her name was, last name Mullins. I said, but I had sex with her. I said, but I don't know what to do that.

And you're blaming it on the mini things. That was a unlikely story. Chief said, go ahead and kill yourself. Yeah, what's her name? She looked like Stephen Hawking. The guy in the wheelchair? Yeah.

But he wasn't in a wheelchair. She was like six foot two. Oh, shit. She was hideous. And all the black guys in high school knew her because they all used to do in the bathroom. She was the biggest slut ever. Hey, she had, I respect her game.

I do. I just knew I had AIDS for the longest. I said, all those black guys, she's got to have AIDS. Oh, shit. Hey, man, back to your story. So Crank, not much. better right not much better you feel wired you know yeah so I mean when I first did it did in high school I was getting a bunch of fucking homework done which I

never did yeah yeah yeah yeah it just you know it's snowballed bad pun but like it and I had to like do I was born an addict so everything I did to an extreme and I couldn't get up in the morning without doing a line and once once I ran out like every other addict my life became fine next thing so I need to pay for it so I started breaking in the houses which is not really smart, especially, you know. You're looking for stuff to pawn and stuff? Yeah, yeah. And the best stuff was when people are home.

So you had to be really careful because, for one, like when I was never going into, I never had a weapon or anything. It's like, I'm not going to hurt anybody. That's not what I'm about. I'm just here to steal some shit. Sorry. Pay for my drugs. Nothing personal.

It's just addiction. Yeah. And I did that and got away with it, you know. And then I didn't. I broke into a house. and I got caught and it's the dumbest fucking story

but fuck it's dumb no this is dumb this is fucking dumb this is fucking dumb I got blocked it out of my mind how fucking dumb this is the first house I broke into

was my parents neighbor who knew me from when I was this big and I stole their big you know water bottles used to be I made out of glass of pennies to count that we didn't have penny counting machines it was to count them out

right to get some drugs right and I got caught doing that and like that was embarrassing like you're oh fucking embarrassing shameful right they knew again they babysat me when I was a kid and they all were in there when I got sent him

the whole blueprinted in that house right the whole yes and that was the blueprint of fucking up and they're all there in the courtroom my mom's crying. It was fucking horrible. Oh, man. So I go to a year for county jail for that first one because that's, they weren't home, but that was still considered first degree burglary.

And it got, I got a, you know, reduced sentence. It was supposed to get like two years the first time. I got one year. Right. White privilege. White privilege. And I ended up in fire camp and it was, that part was like not bad, you know, until I got hurt, got out, was all in shape, feeling great.

started getting high like immediately. Yeah, she was clean that whole time. Clean the whole time. Getting more girls than I ever got before because I was all like fire camp shape and young. Yeah. And then I just started partying again.

And within a year, I broke into this house. It was another ex-girlfriend. You only break your house. You know the only break in people's house. You know. I know where I'm going. And I didn't need to. I had like tons of money and drugs on my possession.

at the time. And I just had the itch. I'm like, let's do something wrong. And that was fucking stupid. So I get in, don't even know what the hell I'm going to take, right? And this little dog is barking. I'm like, fuck.

So best guard dogs are little dogs. I know. I guess you risk getting a kill, but I wasn't going to kill a dog. Yeah. I'll just get out of smoke. Yeah. So I'm just like, I'm going to get the fuck out.

So I go out the same way I came in, like side door of the garage. Uh-huh. Hit the doorknob. Door knob falls off in my hand. I'm like Fuck and I had no time Owner comes out Gun in my face

I see the freaking chain I like oh shit It's shaking I'm dead He's gonna he's gonna blow my fucking head off And the cop comes in Cops saves my life Cops saves my life

He's like sir sir Sir Put the guy down And I'm like You're like think of the cops are here Yeah The cops are here Yeah no shit

And I got saved my life And he's like, you know, he's a member of the Navy Pistol team. He could have blown your head off from 200 yards or something like that. Yeah. Well, thanks. Thanks for telling me that. That's great. Yeah.

Tell my mom, I'll see her in a couple years. And I knew it. Like, right then, I'm like, well, that's it. That's it. How much time do you get? I got a four-year sentence. You do a little over two if you're good, which I was mostly good. Right.

Actually, I didn't get penalized for the time I was considered bad. But, um, what is, what is? life like in prison what it oh really boring boring mundane occasionally interrupted by sheer moments of terror violence violence yeah by the blacks right mostly no no actually my biggest problem was with the white dude but um yeah it was uh yeah no there was uh race riots oh those are fun really those are fun and you're like wow yeah like what if i don't want to participate in the race riot and they're like you don't have a choice I'm like, yeah, I don't really, I'm not in love with our team either, you know?

I was like, I don't like anybody. Right, right. But, no, there's Rodney King. When the LA riots happened, it fucking Folsom blew up and it was a movie. So it's really all Folsom prisons set up like any other prisons. It's tiered. You know, there's tears that go up a few stories. Right.

And, dude, the mattresses are coming down, flaming things of toilet paper. like, this is just like the movies. And it sucks. This is terrifying. And yeah, so the riots hit inside the prison. Like, people went fucking ape shit. And, well, they started attacking guards. So they locked everybody down.

The rubber bullets came out. I saw that only one time in Folsom. You get the rubber bullets and then you get the real ones. And I saw the real ones come out once. Oh, really? Dead. Dead. Oh, really? Seen someone?

Yeah. Yeah. There was some crazy. Yeah. Yeah, you just got his head blown off. What was the turning point for years? Like, you know what? I had enough of this.

First day in prison. I was like, fuck this. Like county jail, it didn't really sink in. Right. You know, because I ended up, like, going to fire camp. And then I went to, like, after I got injured, I went to this really posh fucking halfway house. I'm like, it was kind of nice. Yeah.

This is better than the last apartment I was in. Yeah. And girls work here. Shit. But, no, like, first day. when I get, I was in receiving for four months. I got lost in the system and then they, then I'm on this bus trip from San Diego to fucking Sacramento to Folsom.

16 hours, 12 hours. I can't even remember. Wow. Ancles chained, chained, going to the bathroom was a complete pain in the ass. I, like, had no feeling of my legs. Yeah, it was right about then. And my first, my first, um, when we, when they rolled in, they got us off the bus, they opened the gate.

and that like you're facing all the tears this is it like so sank redemption oh totally they parade the fish they're called the fish the new guy so that's it's true oh yeah they parade you right in front of fucking everybody new fish this motherfucker like talking right to me because i like at the time long straight beautiful blonde hair he's all hey gody luck you want to try my sack lunch i'm like fuck this i'm getting a haircut tomorrow yeah

took a couple days i had to pay you know and And it's got, like, and, yeah, it was terrifying and it sucked and it was lonely and read a lot of books, though. I kept my, I took the advice that a guy, you know, there's some kindness in there. Yeah. So there's some people in there like this, because I was a kid. I was in my early 20s. So I think there's some people who were still human and kind of took me aside and go, listen, kid. Yeah.

Don't mess with any, don't mess with the gays. Don't do any drugs. Don't gamble. And you'll be okay. You'll be okay. Just mind your fucking business. Mind your fucking business. And I got, I turned it into an art form. Whatever I saw, I didn't see shit.

Yeah. I didn't, you don't tell and you'll be okay. If you don't fuck with that stuff, they'll mostly leave you alone. Like I had like little round glasses. So they were I calling me John Lennon or John Denver and they saw me this is like really bookish dork, which I kind of, I was. I was, you know. And the other thing he said is like, you know,

If a fight comes along, you've got to fight. Just like, just grin and bear it. You're going to get your ass kicked. I mean, it's better than the alternative. Yeah. Right. So just give it your best shot. And you usually get respect.

Right. And that happened, you know, a few times. I got my ass beat. But at least, like, I kept on getting up and going, you know, and they're like, okay. You know, they left me alone after that. It's fine. Because you can't avoid it. You can't avoid a fight.

It's part of life. It's part of life in there. it is but dude it sucked uh having your molar knocked out fucking hurts oh damn i mean thank god it wasn't my front tooth yeah i'm like thanks for it not being my front tooth but um you can hit horrible from mold is coming out bro um it was a big black dude he stole my uh he stole my shower shoes and i'm like he stole your shower shoes stole my shower shoes shower shoes and i was like gonna go fuck it he can have him i don't care i'll deal with the athlete's foot or whatever right and my the bunky's like no you got to go you got to go again i'm like really and he's like yep

Cops take me in. Yeah. So what happened? I'm like, I fell in the shower. Come on. I fell in the shower. Yeah, I really. You fell on your face. Yep, I fell on my face. Knocked out my tooth. It's exactly what happened. Just like that. So that's where no snitching culture came from. It's prison culture. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it probably comes like if we want to go back into the history of time, I think it's very tribal and cultural. But, and especially from, you know, like,

you know, in the 20s and stuff. Even on the street, like, nobody respects a snitch at all. But, yeah, that's an easy way, two easy ways to die in prison. Be a child molester or snitch. Yeah. And usually the trash will take itself out. Right. That's crazy.

Yeah, yeah. And I saw some horrible shit. Yeah. Horrible fucking shit. So, man, actually do get raped in that in people's shank. Yeah, I never witnessed that. I think there's a lot of voluntary shit. And there's a lot of fun

There's a lot of motherfucking gay people in prison, okay? There's a lot of dudes that just comes out, you know? Right. But have you heard of the guy the booty warrior? No. Oh. The booty warrior. The black guy.

He's a black guy, of course. If I won't. If I won't. Yes, I've seen that video. Yeah. I like the booty. Yeah, but that's the cartoon versus this dude actually existed. Yeah, it's based on a real life character.

You didn't know that? No. Yeah, there's videos. It's called the booty warrior. Yeah. God, those are old. He's like a black icon in the black community. Yep.

Yeah, that's it. That's him. A man's butt. It was more. It was more booty having some booty than drinking water. Yeah, I mean. Johnson went on to tell our crew. It's not like it was happening.

Sexual desire. He liked the booty. Teddigger looks crazy. Yeah, he does. Pretty was more likes. When I see one, and he looks good to me. When I go see him, I say, you come up.

I'll tell you what. I like you. No, won't you? And we can do it as the easy way of the hallway. So the choice is yours. I didn't know those are real. That's a real dude. That's a real dude.

That's why you don't go to the yard. Okay? So to get my stores, that's it. I never went to the fucking yard. That's when you had. Outside time, you went to go play basketball. I just stayed in my fucking cell and read books and listen to the music. You know, you got a little TV too.

You can get a little black and white TV setting. You can just sit there all fucking day. And I can watch me some TV like anybody, especially there. Especially when you get fucked out there in the yard. Yeah. You're getting the yard. He'll got there screaming. Help.

It's, uh, it's, uh, yeah, it's pretty fucking bad in there. But I can't say I witnessed. The only thing, uh, like, you're forced to see some shit because, like, there's communal showers and that's behind the wall. That's when, uh, right. You're, especially when you're locked down, you're rolled down to take a shower. It's mandatory. You get three fucking minutes.

And, uh, every yard, uh, that I witnessed, even in minimum security, they put a, down there. So a dude with boobs. Very popular. Very fucking popular. Yeah. And that helps keep the temper down.

It keeps the temperature down. That's what a fucking guard told me. So it's like, oh no, this is, they know what they're doing. Wow. So they got that transgender

than a sucking in. Yeah. They're like, yeah, this will, you know, keep the rapes down and the violence down.

Just throw a dude with tits. Wow. Works for me. It is hell. It is absolutely. Absolutely fucking hell. And this was, again, you ever see a movie called American Me? Highly recommend it.

Edward James Almost. It was filmed at Folsom Prison about... That's where you were at, huh? Yeah, like a few months before I got there. Johnny Cash went there, too, and performed. He performed there. Some of my favorite songs, man. Yeah, yeah.

The live version is on on Spotify. Folsom fucking sucks. It's terrible. And eventually, so the whole reason I was there was, I was a level two. So I was not really considered violent. And at the time, old Folsom, because there was two, was level four. And they were moving them all out to Pelican Bay. And they weren't really supposed to mix the fours and the twos, but they were.

Like my celly was like brutally murdered two people over a fucking little baggie of fucking heroin, ate their fucking lunch while they're dead in the fucking car. Piece of shit. That was my, that was my fucking cellmate. couldn't wait to get away from that psychopath oh dude he was bad he was fucking bad yeah yeah um and uh well it all worked out for you it did

I got out I got out like a year I went to minimum security after that but I had a year behind the wall the other year was big good behavior you got out early yeah well they put me in minimum security for the rest of my sentence and I was playing racquetball like it was great lifting weights around people for chick bra and stuff like

it was around white people yeah Well, there's no guards. Like, you can escape if you're dumb enough to do it, because you mean you have like a year under left in your sentence. But there's no, like, guards on the gate. And you can, there's no barbed wire on the fence. You can just fucking climb the fence. That's a neighborhood right there.

Yeah, it's basically detention. Hey, I want to ask you about methylene blue. We was watching Joe Rogan. He was with Mel Gibson. There's studies on that now where people have proven that they've seen. People are drinking methylene blue and stuff like. Yeah, methylene blue, which was a fabric dye. Yeah.

They find it has profound effects on your mitochondria. Yep. This stuff works, man. The methylene blue, I was doing some research on it actually strengthens the sales. I use it for patients that are really low in energy. I try that. It tends to help. My energy is kind of low.

I'm going to be 51 this year, right? So I know it's like my energy is better. When you take it? I've been taking it for actually a couple weeks. It helps the mitochondria, which is your energy source in the cell. And this is kind of gross, I'm going to tell you. Not really gross. Why do you got to go there?

It was this finger right here. I thought it was like a wart. And I would pop it, it would go away. About a week later to fill back up. I started taking methylene blue. I popped it. It just dried up and won away. That's awesome.

There's an anti-infective component to it. So maybe you had some sort of infection. Go to fish of horse twins.com. Pick up our methylene blue and liquid or capsule. Got it in capsules now. It's some damn good blue. Go to Fisherhorsetwins. Now look at you on YouTube getting all kinds of you get more views than people that do what you do on TV get

It's me and some of my friends and it's it should be a wake-up call for Hollywood Especially you know it I mean it's a long story but the reason I got on YouTube and the most people I think go and watch is because they were lied to by the media for so long They just want they want something authentic and I mean I'm a I'm a huge fan of YouTube. I listen to podcasts. I watch everybody's stuff. And I think that's helped me like whatever success I have. It's because I just watch a bunch of stuff. And I really truly enjoy it. I'm watching YouTube on my home theater now. Yeah, yeah. I watch it on my TV. I only watch it on my phone. Yeah, yeah. It's regular. And, you know, it's you're connecting with people. There is a lot of lonely people out there. And there's a lot of people who, especially, you know, the sea change happened

during COVID when everybody was locked down. And we all need a connection. And you can kind of do that on YouTube with the chat. You know, you're interacting with Van. The great author, Douglas Adams, predicted this would happen a week before he died. His last interview, he said, somebody asked him, what's the future of entertainment? And he said, interactivity. It's a brand new word.

But it's a lot like what they did back in the 19th century with vaudeville and comedy. You were right there. You can react to your audience. You're doing it live. It's more authentic. And you could look it up on YouTube. Just look up Douglas Adams. He wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy.

Great writer. And just put his last interview and listen to it. And he predicts all this. He predicts all this. So Hollywood and access, I call them Access Media because that's what they fucking are. And Legacy Media cannot compete against you. Can't compete against anybody.

And that's great. Anybody can pick up a mic and do it for a hobby. That's how I started. Right. Like, sitting here with you guys is surreal. Like, being on peers, yeah, is surreal. You were people I watched before anything happened. I think, and being in, you know, and it's great.

I love it. And it's tons of fun and it's gravy. And I never expected for this to happen this late in my life. Doesn't even feel like a job, does it? No, not for a minute. I've had jobs, man. I fucking heated to jobs. Now, I remember I was at my cubicle, which was,

Working together as insurance adjusters. Keep came to my desk. You say, man, because we're going to school to be certified public accounts. We already got a bachelor's degree. Keep coming to my cubicle. Say, man, we can become comedians. I was like, what? What are you talking about?

How do you go from a accountant to a comedian? I told him, I said, this thing called YouTube. You're funny? Yeah. Yeah. Kind of works. It kind of works. And, you know, if I can do it, and if you guys can do it, anybody can do it.

Right. No, I look at your videos. Yeah. I can see all the time and effort you're putting it there. It looks like a lot. It is high production. Dergerotic.com. After an abysmal 22 for Tintel Town, we didn't think things could possibly get any worse. Then, 2003 came along and said, hold my bud light.

Race swapping historical figures, multiple historic flops, and putting a chick in it and making her gay and lame. Put a chicken in and make her lame and gay. people's on your team. We got four. So, uh, all diverse, by the way. My, my DEI hires are better than anybody else. I've got three women. Well, it's actually, well, my wife does all the, everything. I'm a freaking re- so she, she handles everything as far as business and stuff. But then we have Perry Chan. My, unfortunately, he's Canadian, but he's also Asian. He's, and then we have Quarterback Garrett from Crowder. Oh, really?

Oh, okay. Yeah. And we have X-ray girl, my producer, and then Lady Greymaster's my researcher. And, yeah, and it's all people I just met, you know, it wasn't like I put out a job thing as Perry started doing memes and clips on Twitter for Friday Night Tights. And I'm just like, hey, you're pretty good.

You want to start doing this? Like, it makes some money? You know, he's like, sure. And he'd never edited before. and now, like, he's a pro. He is an absolute, he is one of the best editors on YouTube, period. Garrett is unbelievable. He can turn a video around.

I'm doing with Gary. Yeah, he can turn a video around in 10 hours, like a fully, fully clip, like, not just me in front of a camera. Like, a lot of the stuff you see he does, he can do it in 10 hours. Yeah, that's the guy that used to be on Crowder. He's not gay Jared. There's not, there's not, yeah, Quarterblack was after that. Oh, we did a, we did a, a quarterback's gay.

Don't get me wrong. Quarterblank's super gay. No, we did a scene with him. He's quarter black number. Right, yeah, yeah. He looks like he's Mexican. Oh, yeah, okay. He totally looks like he's Mexican, by the way.

He totally doesn't look like that. He actually checks two box for me. Two boxes for me. Yeah. He also has 17 kids, so bless him. Well, he's definitely black. Yeah. Got that quarterback.

No, he's great. He's great. I am blessed. His white side told him to stay. I should have said that. No, he doesn't care. You didn't give a shit. Yeah.

He's like, I'm blessed to have them super talented people. And I just found them in the chats, you know. Wow. Wow. Yeah, because I look at your videos. I'm like, man, this is. Yeah, it's really good. It beats anything you see on TV.

Thank you. It should be on TV. I mean, millions of people should be tuning in, but, you know, the chats that people like you is just, they can only find you on Rumble or YouTube. Yep. You would expect to see you on a TV. No, they won't have any. part of me and that's fine i don't fuck them i like i am super happy where i am like having a bride like

you i worked a lot of blue collar jobs and had bosses and fuck that i'm so happy here dream job yeah it's a dream job what was it like being on pierce morgan that was cool it was unexpected how did he reach out uh through well originally through the critical drinker you heard the critical great one of the best you the best movie critic on youtube period to be best critic is the critical drinker. So he yeah, he reached out to me and I got on and peers liked me for some reason. And it's, you know, it's it's fucking chaos on his show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's hilarious. And like it's not like I loved all of peers takes. Right, right. Right. Right. On two way, but like, you know, he's a weird, you know, he's great. He's funny. Some of his guests that's on the left.

Oh my God. They are just so irrational. He's Jerry Springer. Like he's, yeah. He's a, He's one of the few people to fucking figure it out. Like, he, like, he understands, like, this is controversy. It's just Jerry Springer. We're going to have some people yell at each other, which is funny. Right. Because people get, like, oh, there's four people on the panel. It's like, you ever see my Friday night show?

It's nine people on the panel. We're all fucking screaming at each other for three. It's a shit show. It's good TV. But it's, no, it's really entertaining, you know, and it's fun to be on. So, again, it's surreal. And I'm grateful for any time I'm put, put, I'm on there. and it's usually just a bitch about Hollywood.

Yeah. A couple times I got caught in talking about Africa and stuff. I'll do my best. I know. I think last time I was on, we talked about the Met Gala, and I'm like, you might have my wife on for that because I know, or somebody gay. I'll do my best, you know, but it's, no, it was, it's tons of,

we can start out with the creative bankruptcy of remaking another animated classic instead of making something new. but yes, it's all Rachel Rachel Zegler and her behavior. And if it was just one comment, it probably would have been by now. Oh, yeah, that's earnest. But it was comment after comment. Got to hate her and myself. Pissing off everybody.

Oh, really? Off old Disney fans. Pissing off new Disney fans. Pissing off Trump supporters. Pissing off all of America. And it became such a disaster that they had to shut her up, which was the smartest move they made. But the onus is all on her and Disney's reaction to it.

and quite frankly if she has said nothing her movie probably still forgetable would have done a lot better critical drink yeah i mean saving there is there's a question you hate to hear yourself oh it's rough uh yeah i had to do it a lot but it's it's yeah i can't stand looking at myself no no for one i always like i said that wrong i could have done that i would ever take you would say that you look so comfortable oh yeah i'm used to it out i was nervous as shit oh yeah yeah yeah i was on that show i was right you know it's again you know talking to you know peers has been nothing but nice and his team is super nice he does some crazy fucking shit good for him yeah yeah

I think right now he's bringing on all the like did he's bodyguards or something yeah we're just fucking awesome it was weird when he told that one girl say say they in word yeah he started like I'm like why would you do that and then when Crowder says it on the show he got mad right yeah that's proud of will say the N word he won't have to

definitely which by the way black people can say things to white people all the time and they never get cancelled there's no backlashing about this I want to live in a country where people are allowed to say what they want unashamedly and you can you will not have to say it say the N word

go on I'm not sure I don't know no no you to invite this woman to say a racially harmful term for me because I'm the only I'm the only one. Oh, God. She said, I'm the victim of it.

She's laughing. You don't mean in work. That's basically what it's going to be. There's a bunch of white people up here. And what one uncle Tom on the left here and ask her to say to. Look at her. He's a fucking bro. With a Jewish person and say, please use a Jewish slur in front of this Jewish.

It's ridiculous. I understand. You don't have any bad intent here. I understand what you're trying to do. I don't. I don't want to invite a racial harm to me. I hate you. And I don't want to live in a.

country. This is where I respect Pierce because I would have been laughing my ass off this all time. And he's just got this professional face going on right there. I'd be just fucking cracking up. Yeah. Oh, God. I heard that black woman from Wicked. Is she going to play Jesus? She's playing Jesus. So in Jesus Christ Superstar, 50-year-old play, written by the hippies. It's pretty blasphemous. If you're Christian, you're probably not going to be a big fan of that one. It's basically from Judas's perspective.

I remember my parents like playing the music when I was a kid because it was really popular when I was like three or four. But yeah, it's going to be her and Adam Lambert is in it. So it's a fully gay, non-binary. I mean, like, at this point, why not?

Why not? That's a big kiddies. No, it doesn't. And we talked about it on peers. Look at those hands. Yeah, she's Nospheratu. She, like, Scarsgar was Ms. Cass. She's Nospiratu.

Like, look at that. How does she wipe her ass? You know who Nospirato is? I'm not it from my son. Because my son's in the comics and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, those are some serious claws. But when it was brought up on peers, I'm like, you know what?

I mean, I'm for free speech and free expression. You know, just you notice. I mean, it's old news. Hollywood's very comfortable going after Christians. They're very easy to go after. Marking Christians too. Yeah, so I want Muhammad's superstar. I think like, do it.

You know, show how artistic you are, how bold and artistic you are, and do that and see what happens. There's such thing as being too artistic, but that woman with the shaved head, you ought to see her before she was, became woke. She looks totally different. She's actually very attractive, but the way she looks now. She looked better and wicked with her wig and stuff. I mean, I didn't like to move. It looks demonic. She looks ozempic.

Nospheratu. That's what she is. Why's her hand so big? She should be playing ball. I mean, she can be playing that big. Wow, that looked like a like a damn. Pull up a before and after her, Joe. Yeah, Nospiratu. There we go.

Yes, Nasspharatu. There he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. See if you can find that before and after, y'all, you wouldn't even recognize her. Cynthia, Aribo. Aribo Aribo

Is that like African or something? Like, sir I have no idea She wasn't Terrible I mean Again that's just not my Musical

Look at her in these pictures Yeah That's a difference That's crazy That's Hollywood baby That's what it does to you That's what it does to you She probably is on some

You go praise Mollick Yeah she's on some kind of weight loss drug. She has to be. And she's not eating. Yeah. She's on some kind of very strict diet. She shaved her head. Black Panther was straight to her hair. In Wicked, what's the other girl was in Wicked? Ariana Grande. She's got a skeleton. Yeah. She's got, she looks like a skeleton too. They're saying they wasn't able to break character after the show. That's why they still look like that. Really? Oh, is that what they're saying? That's what they're saying. I think it's both drug addicts. Yeah, I think they're both completely crazy. Having to go whatever, they're

freaking mollick rituals they have to go to and drink some blood or whatever the fuck they do in Hollywood. Spirit cooking. Yeah. Whatever it does, it eats them alive, man. Yeah, she's got to be on something. Yeah, well, yeah. Well, that looks like

an eating disorder. Orosemic. Same thing. That doesn't look healthy. Nah. She looks way better on the left. Totally spoken. Yeah. Hollywood, man.

Hollywood. What are we going to do? What are you going to do? Like ticket sales are down. Now I was looking at one of your episodes. Majority of people, movies, shows, they don't even film in California anymore. No, no. They've, I think only 20 or 30% of the productions are filmed in Hollywood.

And they're going to start moving out of America completely. It's not just Hollywood. The breaks are when one of the most tax cultures on the planet, the UK, can give you better tax breaks in California. that's pretty sad. Right. They also have to deal with a bunch of unions. And if you go to other countries, you do not have to deal with those unions

or there's different parameters and they're not as, it just buckles them. All the regulation, all the money. And they're going to have to, they're cutting back on everything anyway because they over Satura was streaming. They broke everybody's habit

of going to the movie theater during COVID. So those are down. And you're seeing similar numbers. Everything's down, production down, movie ticket down. is down about 30, 40%. That's crazy. You don't come back from that.

Yeah, they're labeling in what Hollywood, like the Detroit of, like Detroit. Yeah, yeah. It happened in Detroit. And it's... A lot of business left, Tesla. Joe Rogan left, we left? Yeah. Like we somebody, but I figured out our longest to mean, California is too expensive,

it's too many taxes. It'd be stupid to start a business here. It's, it's, I couldn't, I wouldn't even want to try. I'm glad I recognized, you know, my wife had a bit owned a brick and mortar, had a salon. And they shut it down. And honestly, now she's like, it sucked at the time. But she's happy because it got us out of there, you know, and Texas is so much better. It just feels freer.

The California's got beautiful weather, but your prison has beautiful weather over there. I'm born and raised there. I'm a Californian. And I would never want to go back. It's so oppressive. Everything is oppressive there. The sales tax. They just ding you ever, and they won't stop.

I think Trump just shut down the high-speed rail. Oh, yeah. We gave, we got, federal government gave him, like, $9 billion in even later track yet? $40 billion in total. Wow. Federal government taxpayer money went to a few miles of track. I remember voting on that in 2009. Wow.

2009, 10, or 11, like 15. fucking years ago. Yeah. It's supposed to come through Los Vegas. Yeah. And you know what? Nevada or Texas

will probably build one faster, like a lot faster. Yeah. I remember when we lived in Calv. It was like when we lived in Cali. I remember the state was always near bankruptcy.

It was Jerry Brown was like the rolling blackouts. Yeah. Brown outs. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I remember when, God, the guy right before,

I'm blaking on his name now, the guy right before Arnold Schwarzenegger, deregulated the um the gray davis gray davis yeah what got him kicked out is he deregulated uh the electric industry and it went fucking nuts and everybody's like my average bill and my little i was poor as fuck so my average little rental was like 30 bucks it went through 300 the next month yeah restaurant shut down like places were out of business within a month and that yeah they they got his ass out of there he was fucking gone um and gray davis They won't do that anymore.

Newsom got away with so much worse. And when they recalled him, they just let him back in. But yeah, like California is, it's beyond, it doesn't deserve to be that expensive. It's not that nice. People go, it's wonderful. It's like, listen, I lived there all my life. And admittedly, I grew up near the beach and I never liked the fucking beach. I'm a surfer.

You know, I went there at night to drink. That was about it. But, you know, it's not as nice as you all think it is. I was in San Francisco. 20 years ago, San Francisco was cool. It was just like a weird fucking artistic hippie town. Kind of like Austin, Texas. Kind of like Austin.

Went to shit, like real fast right after COVID. And that's the same for the entire state. The homelessness is run rampant. It's run by a super majority that you keep voting in over and over again. And you have no choice to leave at this point. It sucks to bail out on it, but like... I heard they're going to... People that's moving out.

They're trying to come up with this new legislation where even if you move out to state, you still got to pay state taxes in California. Oh, yeah, good luck. That's unconstitutional. But they might... They'll try. They'll fucking try. Good luck. So to keep people from leaving.

Yeah, yeah. You can't keep... Is that what's happening in California where... Because of all the Tesla sales, they're going to start charging the tax to use the road? Toad roads? That's going to add toll roads. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's going to raise up that tax. Oh, well, they're going to, I don't know if they've done this yet in San Francisco. They're doing something similar to London. They're going to, like, you're going to have to pay a fee to go downtown. Not just a park, just to go downtown. It'll be some smog fee. They were thinking about shutting it down completely. There's a stretch of the 101 in San Francisco that they've shut down for bicyclists.

That's crazy. That's fucking crazy. And there's not that, even in San Francisco, there's not that many. bicyclists. But yeah, Gavin Newsom dictated that gas vehicles will be done in 2036. I think they flipped that recently. But yeah. There's not going to be no more. No gas cars whatsoever. I don't know how the fuck you do that. We don't have any viable gas trucks right now delivering it or electric trucks right now. I heard Jack was scratched their, what's the car? The electric vehicles. The electric vehicles are a sports car. It was called

the Hillcat. They scratched it. They scratched it. They did. Yeah. Well, I mean, they're expensive. They don't really save the environment at all. And I used to work at Tesla. They don't, they don't save the environment at all. Battery acid is really fucking terrible. Right. The disposal of it's terrible. When it catches on fire, that shit burns forever. There's a... You got to put it out with milk, I heard it, right? Foam and milk. So there's one accident we had in Palo Alto. It didn't hit the news. It caught on fire. They put it out. They took it to the yard. 15 hours later

catches on fire again sets the fucking yard on fire really yeah you're driving around on that they giant fucking battery under you know you're driving around with gas and like they're fine they're fast they're cool if you want to get one whatever yeah but they're not the future

they do not help uh to make one you're you're erasing any carbon footprint or whatever by just fucking making one then there's the battery disposal and yeah there's all I mean it's good to try but um that's it's not the answer. It's an answer to control you because they'll be able to shut down your fucking car remotely. It's got cameras all around the thing. It limits your, I mean, I know

it's going to get better, but it limits your range. Yeah, my daughter got a Tesla and she hates going to California. You say she got to like stop twice. Mm-hmm. Charge. Wow. Yeah. Totally sucks. Yeah. But you charge it thing. It takes forever. Yeah. Yeah. That you need, they need to develop. I don't know how you do that. And how good is that for the grid and the grid is vulnerable, you know, want to get too woo-woo on this. If something happens to the grid, an attack, electromagnetic pulse,

a flare from the fucking sun. You're done. You're done. And that's happened. There's the Carrington event. Look it up. It's crazy. That movie, it was actually created, I think, produced by the Obamas, the Netflix film. Yeah. Yes. What's it called?

Leave the world behind. Leave the world behind. Cyber attack. Sounds like a warning. Isn't it? Yeah. This woman, she was, they reported on Daily Mail that they said she said 9-11 was going to happen. A bunch of other things came true. What she said?

She said the next super thing is going to really go down. It's going to be a sabotage. Yeah, I believe it. And I believe our government will institute it and say it was somebody. It was Russia. Yeah, that's the first one thought about Russia. Russia. Yeah.

I mean, they're not. It's Qatar. It's Qatar. Yes. It's going to be Qatar. Makes total sense. Yeah. You know, it won't be one of our enemies.

It will not be Israel. Definitely not. Why would they do that? It would be our CIA. They're our ally. Yeah. Hey, so what can people find you? They can find me at Nerdrodite on YouTube, Nerdrotics.

Long story, too long to tell here on 12. Twitter. I'm on Rumble and Instagram. I guess my wife wants to mention it. That's my wife. She runs it. You got a Facebook? I do have a Facebook. You should have a Facebook. Should I? Yes. I mean, I got one. I don't do anything with it. I should start doing stuff like the best social media platform I have. You are the second person to tell me that this week. All right. Coming back to Facebook. They actually work YouTube's butt. No shit. Well, for us anyway. Yeah. All right. Did they take the pedal?

Because they were fucking terrible for a while. They were terrible for like the last couple years. But when it's working, it works really nice. All right. Yeah. Yeah. But you should give it a shot. I will.

Definitely. Yeah. Your content should do very good on Facebook. Cheers. Yeah. You're doing yourself a disservice. Oh, tons of disservice. I'm stupid.

I don't read any fucking ads on my videos and people tell me I should. I am completely stupid when it comes to this stuff. It's fine. I don't know how to monetize Spotify. Me and Garrett have been trying to figure that out for a year. We're fucking retarded.

We just got monetized for Twin Spot for Spotify. Did you? Yeah, yeah, through megaphone or... Something, I don't deal with it. Dude, I got smaller people dealing with this, though. Yeah. Yeah. I had to ask other podcasters.

I had to ask the unsub guys. I'm like, how do I do this? I'm too dumb. But yeah, yeah, it's tons of fun. Yeah. That's the thing. like we both came from like blue collar places. Right.

So we're very inexperienced in this wild and crazy world. And I'd rather have that. I don't want a fucking agent. I don't want any of that stuff. Yeah. That's just paying people money to do work. I can easily do myself. I know.

Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, that's so big. So I do have a book coming out. Yeah. So you got an interesting life. Thanks. Yeah. I mean, shit.

I guess interesting is a funny way to put it, dude. Yeah. It fucking sucks. But it's so much better now. So it's, yeah, I was approached to do a book and I'm, you know, I didn't really want to do like zippity down. This is how I did YouTube. So hopefully it's a memoir that, you know, kind of shows people that you can, you can overcome a lot of shitty things. Right.

Mainly based in recovery. So it's called from Waiting for Nerdrotic, which is kind of a play on like when my streams are coming up, it says waiting from nerddotic and I'm always late. Yeah. From prison to YouTube. and it's supposed to be, hopefully show people, especially young men out there. You can, no matter how you've been abused, been put by in the eight ball, had a bad situation in life.

You're addicted to gambling. Like you can't, like life does get better through sobriety. Yeah. It can happen. I'm sure it's going to inspire a lot of people because a lot of people's fighting with that. Yeah, yeah. I had to give up Blackjack. Oh, that's hard, see.

I can actually do that in moderation, but I'd hate to give that up. Yeah. I think I can too. The most I've ever lost is like, I think 300 bucks. That's not bad. I know a guy,

he said he lost 15,000. Yeah, you're losing it. He's, Kevin's line. No, that. You just got a bad memory. The people I gave, I gave money to you,

they lost more than I did. But technically, I lost 300 bucks. When I lose 100, I'm done. I'm like, bye. Yeah, yeah. You know, that's a lot of money. So, cheers, guys. Thank you.

Thank you. is bar records
