Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Kamp. Hello. Hello, Lucy. Hi. How are you? I'm very good. And I have, I actually have a question for you. Okay, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Do you like Christmas? Do I like Christmas? Do you enjoy the holiday of Christmas, the rituals that go along with it? Sandy Clause and all that. Gifts. Yeah, it's fine. Celebrations. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Well, well, we need to address that. Why do you just say fine? I like it. I mean, I feel like it's not manly to say, like, really like Christmas. And I'm just trying to, like, I want, I don't want people to think I'm not an alpha male. Oh, okay. That's fair. But I like Christmas.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Sure. I mean, who doesn't? Yeah. So, okay. So that's just, that's just boilerplate. suppression of your emotions. I won't admit to
Starting point is 00:01:02 like in flowers either. Okay. All right. Got it. All right. What have I told you? Yeah. That in three weeks
Starting point is 00:01:09 it was going to be Christmas. I mean, I would have you committed. You would have me committed? To like a institution of some sort. Like what do you mean? Wait, wait, wait. Have I said something a little bit weird?
Starting point is 00:01:23 You would have me committed immediately? I mean, I would try. I don't know if I would listen to me. I mean, I would definitely. I would reach out to a I don't even put people Can you commit people anymore I feel like those people all just live on the subway now
Starting point is 00:01:36 The people who used to commit Yeah it's very hard to commit someone involuntarily Right So I just you know just just be aware of that I'm willing to put the work in So I mean like I'm pretty tenacious Yeah that's that's where I'm coming from I didn't know you were so institutionalizing your wife crazy
Starting point is 00:01:57 Well I just said I mean Where is this coming from? His idea that we're going to make Christmas? It's like September 5th or something. And you're telling me he's going to be Christmas through. Are you trying, are you just trying to, like, gaslight me? Are you trying to, like, are you trying to make a fool out of me? You're trying to make people, are you, like, I would assume that you're the best case
Starting point is 00:02:14 that you're trying to, like, have a power of attorney taken from me, like, granted to yourself by making me look like, you know, come out in public on the show and start talking about how it's Christmas. he's clearly and then some you with some lawyer having an affair or something you know i watched the film the movie this week billy the film the war or whatever witness for the prosecution yeah yeah and now i'm very suspicious of everyone um so you know why you ask uh i ask because it will be christmas in three weeks if you're in venezuela that seems racist what are you talking about
Starting point is 00:02:57 I know like different parts of the world like Australia has their summer where we have winter is that what's going on no no that's not what's going on okay it's not a time zone Christmas Venezuela is doubling down on its commitment to Christmas
Starting point is 00:03:12 the Venezuelan is that we doubling down I've never associated Venezuela with the commitment to I mean not the disparage them but the commitment to Christmas was never the first thing I thought of when I think of
Starting point is 00:03:24 Venezuela. That's where you go Chavez range, right? And a man named Maduro, I believe. Yes, Nicholas Maduro. I never heard like, did they call him St. Nick? Was Chavez, like a big, like a big, I mean, I'm sure they like, who doesn't like it? But I never saw like Chavez wearing a Santa suit.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Well, I mean, maybe he will now. Okay. Is he alive? Yes. Oh, okay. You go Chavez. No, I'm sorry. No, Nicholas Maduro. Okay. And is he still in power? He is.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Isn't he the guy who's been in power for a long time? Oh, yeah. And didn't they have a bunch of problems a few years ago? I mean, maybe. Okay. Look, every country has its issues. I got to be honest. It's possible that I just never kind of, I should know more about Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I've heard that their oil is not that great. It's very thick and like, and chunky. And it's like, you know, well, they have a lot of oil money and someone else would say where, like, their oil isn't good, which just seems a very classist thing to say. Yeah. Like, their oils, that's shitty, it's bad oil. Yeah. What are you going to do? Do you eat it? Yeah. But that's all I know. I mean, I never went further.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I know they had like a hype and inflation issue. But you're saying, this is all very negative. But you're saying. I want to focus on the positive things about Venezuela, like the fact that Venezuela's president. Yeah. Is declaring Christmas will begin in October from now on in Venezuela. It'll begin in October or September? It will begin in October.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Okay. And go apparent, I guess, through December. Mere weeks away from now. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, I mean, will it last until December or is it just, we, they only help. If it doesn't last until December, then that only helps you one time. We get, we, we, he, oh, it's Christmas starts in October now.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And it's like, all right, cool. But then, like, it's still going to be a year away. Is Christmas going to last for three months of Venezuela? What does that mean? That's a good point. How, you're going to go broke from it, give you kids gifts. If it, if it starts. early and ends early that's that's lame as fuck you know there's kids with Hanukkah gifts you
Starting point is 00:05:28 saw you like oh you're seven days of gifts and then you talk to them and like yeah sometimes they're rich kids but sometimes it's just like yeah you get one you know you know a video game and then like six days of like they give you a marble or dradyl whatever you know is this how bad the gift's going to get after two to two months three months you can start getting like you're just getting like you know he's a parking ticket that was left in my car how does this even a gift here's a here's a carrot you know yeah it's it's not very good here a subscription to the comp podcast patreon you know they have a little plug there yeah well are you here we're gonna get to the bottom of this but remember remember the like and subscribe and uh to the comp podcast here

Why don't you tell them about that? But go on. Go on. Tell us about this. That's right about that.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I'm sure this is probably, honestly, it's good to see like a feel-good story coming out of Venezuela. I don't feel good yet. Venezuela's president Nicholas Maduro declares Christmas to begin in October. Nicholas Maduro's announcement comes as thousands of people have been arrested. Since, well, whatever. This is biased. article. Since protests erupted over the election in July, for which
Starting point is 00:06:56 the authoritarian leader has failed to provide evidence. Right. I thought he was a guy. I thought he was a, they voted to get rid of him or something, and then he just stayed. Look, we talk, we like to talk all kinds of stories about Venezuela and the United States. But that's kind of what happened, right? Or at least people argue that, right?
Starting point is 00:07:11 People argue he didn't win, but even though he's still in power, and now he's made a Christmas? That's actually not a bad idea. I mean, I don't know why Trump didn't think of that. I mean, I guess the problem was our elections are kind of close to Christmas. It's after, you know, like, you know, in that time, he kind of, instead of doing all that, like, appealing and like, oh, challenging the vote, maybe he should have just said it's Christmas and then, like, we just forgot. And then it was just never left.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yeah. But, you know, okay, so he's, so I'm not even going to get into why he's arresting all these people. That's not important, I guess. what's like what is like what is the on the menu then for for Christmas the October Christmas date like is it going to be like a like a fall Christmas like a nice pumpkin soup okay well let's see what let's see some details here okay uh Venezuela's authoritarian president Nicholas Maduro has declared Christmas will start three months early in the country and a move which some have suggested was made to further his own political goals I think that's cynical that sounds very cynical you know I appreciate Christmas when it comes. Go on. Venezuela has been gripped by protests over July's contested presidential election,
Starting point is 00:08:26 which saw Mr. Maduro re-elected for a third term to spite global skepticism over the results. I mean, are we still playing this game where we're like, hey, like you're Venezuela, we don't trust your elections? Like, can we do that still? We haven't been doing well with it. I'm not saying, like, you know, all this stuff. I grew up and, like, and they made.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It may seem like every country, you know, it wasn't us in England, you know, when, you know, when they voted, like, there was guys of guns in the polling place. Mm-hmm. And maybe they were. But I don't know. But no one could have an election but us. And now it doesn't seem like we can either. Like, everyone's saying we're going to have a civil war, if, you know, regardless of the outcome. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So are we still planning, well, we're going to be skeptical of Venezuela because they have, you know, because they're, they have chunky oil. It just seems, but whatever. Just because their oil hits different. Yeah. But go on. So people question in him, but it doesn't matter. But despite the arrests of thousands of his critics, the former bus driver turned politician seems to have, oh, bus driver. That seems like a dig.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Well, all right. It's good for him. But the, I mean. They basically said, I mean, this is like a leader. This is basically don't, don't elect the working class people. They'll become dictators and be all postmodernist about Christmas. Which might be true. I mean, like, there is something to be.
Starting point is 00:09:46 idea of like, you know, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have dirt on each other and you only do so much. Right. I mean, I hate to admit it, but, you know, it's the royal, you know, with the war in the monarchies and everyone was intermarry, they're all, they're all related to each other. And that worked out and that was pretty good. We got rid of that and then we had World War I, didn't we? Yeah. As soon as they shot one of them, they did the World War I happened. Just saying, like me, I, I, I, I don't like the idea of a king, but I mean, yeah, it's not bad murder brothers. Mm-hmm. Warrior three.
Starting point is 00:10:15 The king. I guess you're right. I guess there is some security and incest. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's a lot. Honestly, people don't talk about that enough. They just talk about how hot it is or how your kids won't be, you know, won't go to MIT if you do it.
Starting point is 00:10:30 But I mean, you know, it's like there is a certain amount of, you know, just kind of built-in safety. The bus driver turned politician seems to be focusing on something else. entirely Christmas. Well, that should be, I mean, are we sure it's a dig? Because that is also, like, that should be, like, the Rocky story. Like, oh, you're a bus driver, and now you run Venezuela. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:56 That's pretty good. That's great. That's like, I mean, Rocky didn't even win in the end. The next movie he did, but whatever. Just saying, like, again, people were inspired by that. And we're acting, like, you know, why shouldn't he? Honestly, how can we say that, like, somehow Venezuela is not, like,
Starting point is 00:11:13 a free country when a bus driver became the president. Yeah. Was it like a rich kid who like as a joke rode drove the bus one? Like he got a kid not he like he stole a bus or something or was he actually a bus driver? I think he was an actual bus driver.
Starting point is 00:11:27 That's way more impressive than I think anyone who's ever been president of America. I'm not a socialist but I'm just but that is I don't know is Venezuela a social? I know Chavez was. I don't know enough about this but I'm just saying that's pretty impressive. Yeah. Oh no. A bus driver has never gotten
Starting point is 00:11:43 near the presidency. How are we so smug about democracy or whatever, or being free and you can do whatever you want? Bus drivers runs the country. Ralph Cramden got to the top of the food chain. I hear the bus driver is a symbol of scorn. You know, the only bus driver of the statue was literally, you know, Jackie Gleason.
Starting point is 00:12:04 If you got a poor authority, he's a statue of a fake man. That's a real thing. Look it up. Just saying, this is like the freest, country ever heard of so you're oh so it's i what i what i hear is that you're open-minded about venezuela yeah i mean like they're letting the bus driver i mean i don't know if it's going to end well when you was i mean again i'm not i think i think having you know i'm not saying the
Starting point is 00:12:29 bus driver is necessarily qualified but it's definitely free it seems freer at least in that respect uh it's this is a quote from him it's september and it already smells like christmas the six 61-year-old said on Monday night. What is Christmas smell like? Like pine trees? Pine, snow. It's pine really big in South America? Again, I'm not the moat.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I've never been to Venezuela. I don't, they have a huge pine thing going on out there? I wouldn't imagine that you would get the snow, the coldest Christmas in Venezuela. Is that more like a Pacific Northwest thing or something? I don't know. Pine trees. Maybe things start to, maybe, maybe the oil starts to seep up to the ground and you get a real whiff of that, that chunky oil smell. Wow. So oil seep it. Yeah. Okay. And then, uh, so like, is there some like a contradiction where like a kid slips on oil and cracks his head open and goes the first, the first oil, um, concussion of the season.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Yeah. And then you have to kiss over him. Kiss over him. Yeah. I'm not, I don't like mixing kissing and kids. The people, these people, these people, you know, with their different conspiracies and all this stuff. I, I don't even want to do mistletoe over a, uh, a, uh, a king. concussed kid. I'm saying let's just not do any of it. That's a tradition. I'm not saying they have a wrong intention there when they kiss over a concussed child.
Starting point is 00:13:53 But I'm just saying avoid just avoid the impropriety of it all. Go on. That's why this year, as a way of paying tribute to you all and in gratitude to you all, I am going to decree an early
Starting point is 00:14:07 Christmas for October 1st. The Venezuelan Episcopal Conference on Tuesday criticized the announcement as they warned the holiday quote is not to be used for political or propaganda goals. You know, they really, they said if you elect this bus driver I mean, look, it's all fun in games.
Starting point is 00:14:24 We're going to get hyperinflation and, you know, and the country's going to get going to do well and we're going to plunge into chaos and he's going to be like, you know, he's going to end up arresting a lot of people. But I think he's proved them wrong. Yeah. Because he's, I mean, you get Christmas. Which is nice.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Yeah. Have we gotten to this part yet where did he talk about how long it will last? That's a good point. Because this does seem like, again, not to disparage bus drivers, but something a bus driver or child might, you know, along with him at Christmas early. And it's like, well, then, you know, there'll still be a year away. Right. You know?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Right. It just seems like a little kid, like eating too much candy. Also, like, in what way is Christmas going to arrive? Like, Jesus will be born that much earlier. Yeah. And, you know, save, you know, die for. our sins or whatever. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I didn't write the dionetics. How close, look, if I told you I've got two plane tickets to Caracas right now. Isn't that in Pakistan? No. That's Karachi.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Okay. Caracas. Oh, Caracas Venezuela. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. I mean. And I've got, we've got two tickets to the Christmas village. They have a Christmas village in Caracas?
Starting point is 00:15:41 And we're going to podcast from the Venezuelan Christmas Village that Nicholas Maduro sets up October 1st. Sure. Let's do it. I mean, are we actually doing this or are you just lying? I'm like. I don't know what you thought I would say. No, I won't go to. Yeah, I'll take a free trip to Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Just because I think it's farcical doesn't mean that I won't, you know, enjoy the eggnog. Yeah, that's true. That's a good attitude to have. Thank you. You should be able to find delight and pleasure anyway. where you are. Yeah, I'm a Christmas hedonist. Yeah. I'm just like, just give me all the Christmas. There should be Christmas. There should be a thing, like, just like alcoholics can be an alcoholic at any time because it's five o'clock anywhere. Right? That's all that. People
Starting point is 00:16:27 say it like it's a joke. I mean, it's true. And you should be able to like, you, you, when they make, they should, they should event a train that goes around the world. And so it's always five o'clock, uh, the five o'clock hour, wherever you are. fast bullet train, and you just get drunk all day. And then you wouldn't have to be sad about being alcoholic. And the same thing's true for Christmas. They just have a Christmas train, also a train. And maybe the same train.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But this one, it'll always be Christmas. And you just celebrate all year. Or I guess, I don't know. Maybe Christmas for the last, how many time zones are there? Or how many years, how many months? Like, you know, Australia does Christmas in July, or they don't? I don't have summer That's the thing
Starting point is 00:17:13 No one People who live in California Don't get cold Christmas And either is Australia I guess We all just get you know Different Christmases I'm thinking like oh you guys have summer This time of year
Starting point is 00:17:23 But they just They just sweat And give each other Pine Cones They think it's really It's really exotic Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:33 They think it's uh I mean Whatever What's What they speak in In Venezuela? Spanish Spanish
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yeah Okay, yeah. Yeah, I know a little Spanish. We can go down there, Feliz Navidad. There you go. Cuando, uh, Chiero eggnog.
Starting point is 00:17:51 See. Yeah. What does that mean? I just said when, wear eggnog, didn't I? No, you said,
Starting point is 00:17:59 I want eggnog. No, I didn't. Kiero eggnog. Kiro means I want. Yeah. I know I meant like one of those little roll-up tacos. Anyway, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:09 that's great. That's a good. for Venezuela. What if you don't celebrate Christmas? Are you going to be put in jail? You know, that's a good question. Let's see. You've got to read the fine print here.
Starting point is 00:18:21 The minimum wage. Oh, wait, why don't think we have minimum wage? I don't think they will improve our salaries or pay us the Aguinaldo, she added, referring to the Christmas bonuses that workers usually receive at the end of the year. I say, this is a probably, you do something nice? And I'm like, oh, does that mean we get our Christmas bonus early?
Starting point is 00:18:37 And it's like, well, no. That's just, let me get that in December. We call that a, you know, Valentine's Day bonus or whatever. Does that mean Valentine's Day is going to be December? You still want to, you want to maintain the climax of Christmas. You just want to extend. I don't think he's doing that. I think this is a reaction to put the, I'm locking political prisoners up.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I'm just making it Christmas. I hate to be that guy. I don't think so. I think he's going to operate the Santa train. Protests erupted over Mr. Maduro, who has been in power since 23. claiming yet another term as a helm of the South American country. More than 2,000 people have been arrested since. You don't think that there are more than 2,000 legitimate criminals in Venezuela?
Starting point is 00:19:21 Well, you're trying to imply there. No, I'm sure. Look, yeah, I mean, do they win a soccer match or something? I mean, I don't know. It's like it's like saying L.A. is on fire. It's like, well, you know, how are the Lakers doing? Right. Like, yeah, that's, I think most crime in any in the world revolves around sports.
Starting point is 00:19:40 anyway we'll move on from this i guess because i feel like i'm just propagandizing that we're just you know what we should probably read this last part though because it is important you're getting paid by venezuela are you probably are you looking at those podcasters or whatever they got they they're getting paid by you know the the russian government or whatever well you know if i am maybe let me make my bag well we can take a vacation that i was i wasn't upset so that we can we can take a ride on this on this fucking five o'clock train you're talking about yeah i mean no i wasn't asking like an accusing way i just get that money it was speaking of uh so what's going on uh tim pool and uh who's the other guys Dave Rubin
Starting point is 00:20:23 let's where's this button oh yeah Dave Rubin's one of them so u.s conservative influencers say they are victims of a Russian disinformation campaign so that sounds like they got tricked into you know tricked into I mean not not they were given millions of dollars we're victims of russian disinformation so what's going on timpool who's the guy with the beanie right who claims he's like a centrist but it's like he's always talking you know try to get a civil war going or something um yeah well i don't know i mean i don't know i don't i haven't watched enough tim pool he's a guy he's a big troll uh and i'll see you know come sue me whatever yeah we have to russian have Putin sue me whatever uh and dave rubin who was
Starting point is 00:21:09 friends with Ben Shapiro, I guess. Dave Rubin, yeah, I know a little bit more about. He's a very, he's one and I don't, look, I'm not saying because he's conservative. Right. It's not what I'm saying, but he's the one that everyone thinks is very, very stupid, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. Like, he's just a guy who's like, he's a lot of gaffes.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah. That's all I know about you show me a compilation once of, I've just, this man. I can actually see him getting duped. Like, really? He's like, um, and Benny Johnson, who I've seen on Twitter, he's a very, yeah i've seen him he seems like a very cocky man very you know you know one of these guys who likes the idea of alpha males the idea oh i smoke a cigar everything's like in 1920s of these guys let's smoke a cigar much can can't dancing alpha males um so they all were part of this
Starting point is 00:21:56 tenant media um i guess which i don't know if it covers all of their content or some of their content apparently he simple is saying that he uh that is like his tim tim cast podcast which i guess this big one is not part of this i don't know so whatever at least some of their stuff well yeah like this is i think this is big for them in particular because even though if you look at dave rubens like podcasting set critically at all like you know it's pretty obvious that he's like astro turf by somebody but it's like you're speaking like we're all just part of the the the young leftist of America. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:22:35 You know, just like AstroTurf, like something that's funded by kind of big money. Okay, he's got a rich. He's got a rich daddy. Yeah. Well, I think like originally, I think for a while people were speculating like, oh, maybe it's like Coke Brothers. Okay. Fund is funding him or whatever. But like the big thing about these three guys is that like they all have kind of that fake kind of organic feel.
Starting point is 00:23:01 of just like i'm just doing a podcast here right they talk a lot they talk a lot about being independent media right which you know it's fine i mean you know so you know else is independent media us this is how's that working out but uh this is real independent you know when they're when they're you know it's actual independent media when you know they don't upload for a couple weeks oh don't talk about that that's that's that's that's misinformation that's Christmas it's Christmas now yeah um Tim pool Dave Rubin but so they all apart is 10 media and apparently that company is funded by the Russian government or got a bunch of money from Russian government basically they're getting paid by the Russians
Starting point is 00:23:51 they claimed they didn't know. And this is an indictment. I didn't mention that. This is an indictment. It's not like a speculation, apparently. Oh. Not that, you know, I mean, it's a DOJ. Not that they've ever made anything up.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But, I mean, they have texts and stuff. Do they show it in this or the other link? Oh, okay. Let's see. Maybe it might be the other one. Okay. Yeah, scroll down. Oh, not too fast.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I can't read. when you scroll too fast I scroll more because it's something Pool released a Just give me the mouth This is This has a couple of quotes from Tim Pool and
Starting point is 00:24:37 Benny Johnson Okay Johnson Poole Rubin and Southern did not immediately Oh Lauren Southern's part of this too Who's that? Is she a gun girl? That's Bennett Something something Bennett
Starting point is 00:24:49 But like but no, Lauren Southern is like a woman who was, she was part of like that first crop, but kind of like alt-right girls. Oh, okay. And, but also recently she came out against like trad wife shit. This is getting great. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:06 This is like watching Gossip Girl. Johnson, Poole, Rubin, and Southern did not immediately respond to requests for comment. None are accused of wrongdoing. Quote, we are disturbed by the allegations in today's indictment. Johnson wrote on X, referring to himself and his lawyers, quote, which make clear that myself and other influencers are victims in this alleged scheme. Well, I'd love to be a victim.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I would love to be a victim in this scheme. And I'm not even saying they do, but I mean, I would love to have inadvertent. Yeah, come get it back. Seize my money. It's all going to be in, you know, gold Krugaran's and like, and just Mountain Dew. You know, seize that if you want. But this is a scroll more. there was something they had they had like links or whatever like of them talking
Starting point is 00:26:00 basically they had texts they had like fucking posts uh chats i don't know i i'm pretty sure it's in here somewhere the point is there's like the indictment includes all this stuff where they're like talking on like discord and they're emailing each other i know they can read that stuff but they could just like they can just put that in an indictment Maybe I'm being naive here I didn't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't think it's just you know Every time you text each other
Starting point is 00:26:26 Hey like isn't it cool that we're getting paid by Putin Like they can use that I guess so I don't think they should I think I think Edward Snowden had a point I mean I'm not This is not great But who cares
Starting point is 00:26:40 Right I mean a little bit Yeah You can tell me you didn't know these guys were grifters Anyone making money is a grifter Anyone who isn't us it's a grifter, okay? I knew they were grifters.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's like, oh, we're getting paid by Russia. Well, I mean, they're getting paid by someone. None of this stuff makes sense. Why is anyone listening to any of this crap? Who can, who's going to pay us? That's what I want to know. What do you want me to say? Ukraine bad?
Starting point is 00:27:10 Oh, the Ukraine's our biggest enemy. Okay, whatever. Well, man, am I going to hurt the Ukraine? Who's ever looked at for us? Oh, the Ukrainian people. What about me? I'd love to have, it would, honestly, the best gig is, like, uh, doing disinformation for, you know, a less, a less problematic country, basically. Like, doing, doing some propaganda for, do, how do we get, how do we start doing?
Starting point is 00:27:35 Sweden doesn't need us to run interference for them. I was literally thinking Sweden. But they don't need us. You know, who needs us is like, you know, um, those pirates, those, those Yemeni pirates. They could use some, like, good talking points. That's who we got to get money from. You know, the Yemeni pirates, they get a lot of flack for, like, you know, kidnapping boats and blowing up boats.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And I don't think they're that bad. I think people, I think there's a lot of misinformation about these Yemeni pirates. You know, these Yemeni pirates are just guys on boats. Like, you know, I got a lot of guys here talking about, you know, about pirating. You don't know how to tell you not. You even know how to sail? Where's the last time you were on a schooner?
Starting point is 00:28:21 When's the last time you did, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're going to tell me who was a pirate not pirate? You know, you even know maritime law. People are a lot of talk about maritime law. Like, you're allowed to see stuff on the open sea. You don't understand that. It's illegal. That goes back to Jefferson. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Some, it's a treaty he signed with the, in Tripoli or something. See? The Treaty of Tripoli. Can we, like, that one was on the arm. But, I mean, can we, you know, someone reach out and get some money? I mean, do they have money to the pirates? That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:28:54 They don't money. Maybe they steal a lot. How about some of that money finds this way to us? That would be great. You know, with all that, we're going to get a DOJ indictment saying we're soliciting pirate money. I mean, honestly, I'll just, I'll just, I'll put that. We should, if that were our situation, yeah. I think we just put it in the tagline of the show.
Starting point is 00:29:16 We should just call it Kump, a pirate funded. podcast. Well, they don't want that. You understand how it works. I picture in a board room, like a conference room at some rework meeting with these pirate representatives and you say that, I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, she doesn't know what she's saying.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I have to say to you performatively that would actually hurt their cause. They want us to seem authentic. And we will be, trust us, sirs, we will be authentic sounding. We're going to sound like we really believe that we're not being paid by you, that we're not shills, right? That we actually support
Starting point is 00:29:48 pirating, you know, murdering and robbery on the open seas. We just, we're on a principle level agree with that. It's not because you're paying us to the blooms, you know, and treasure and bits of treasure. See, I, look, I understand my approach is counterintuitive, but, you know, the thing is, authenticity is a, is a many-layered beast, you know? You've got to, like, you've got to be authentic. sometimes it's best to just be authentic about being inauthentic nowadays in a time where you know nothing means anything I mean what you're talking about I believe is more of an Andrew Tate phenomenon but we'd have to build a whole cult around us it would have to be like tangentially it has to be a thing where we're teaching you how to grind and like and get that money
Starting point is 00:30:38 get that bag and you know and like and we admit that we get yeah yeah we sometimes and you know what people give us you know a lot crap because we get money from pirates that sometimes when they kidnap a businessman or a bunch of nuns and they get a ransom we get a little piece of that because we do apologetics for them and people say that's a problem we're trying to get that bag I want to get a what's a car what's a fancy car I want to get a Mustang you think Andrew you're taking it for the Mustang you don't even know what I'm talking about it's not a supercar Mustang's like 50 grand or something they're not that expensive comparatively Anyway, point is, that's what you're describing. We'd have to build a very misogynist, most likely misogynistic brand. And you could actually, with you on the, with you on the face of it, that could actually be good. Imagine you just like, I mean, are you willing to throw on bitches under the bus?
Starting point is 00:31:35 Throw bitches under the ball day. I mean, you can make a lot of money just throwing bitches under that bus. And then, yeah, and something wasn't big the picture of them, like, in the totality. will still be kind of putting pirates in a good like because they'll like us and pirates give us money so on some level the pirates win it's not as good as like you know let's just say we were Joe Rogan
Starting point is 00:31:57 and we started talking about how great pirates were that's their that's their grail but they can't afford to give him that I mean I don't know if he can be bought but if he can they can't afford it it wouldn't be worth it there's a sweet spot with all this you know you got to be you know small enough
Starting point is 00:32:12 that you can be bought but big enough that you know that you can influence, you know, opinion. It's kind of like, you know, do I buy, do I buy a, uh, uh, Nissan Centra or buy a maximum? Like, what's the, what's the value? What's the price to ratio value? Uh, I mean, like, what if, could we maybe rebrand, uh, pirates?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yes. Yemeni's pirates as, as kind of like a misunderstood sort of, uh, almost make them out to be like a, like a Native American type thing, like a, a marginalized tribe. We can't, I mean, we just, we just, that had, that had a noble set of values that they went by before we, you know, mucked it all out. You're talking about doing a Trail of Tears? Yeah, pirate trail of tears. Could we?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Could we do that? I mean, we're not, we're not, we're not the military. I don't know how we could do that. You know, you want makeup, makeup, make up, I mean, there is a, look, here's the thing. Are I'm not even saying the right thing. It used to be Somali pirates. And now, are you have any pirate, they are a thing. right because for a while we were just I thought we were bombing yemming but now there's these hootis
Starting point is 00:33:20 right in yemen are they the ones who do the pirating oh god I have no idea are there any pirates and yeah did you just make this I don't know now that I now that I now that you mention it I remember it being Somali pirates too no that was years ago that was like cap and phillips this is like 20 years ago right things change you know the world you know this is a problem we can't be podcasting and making YouTube videos and go, well, why can't I just promote, you know, uh, um, Czechoslovakian rum? Like, that's not the thing. Well, why can't, you know, why can't I, uh, like Rush Limbaugh?
Starting point is 00:33:58 He's dead. Things evolve is my point. Countries and change. It's like, you know, been in the 2000s, there was all Iraq war. Now it's like, you know, now we're doing Ukraine. It's a whole different, you know, this is what I'm saying. So we get to stay on top of the times. We can't, we can't, we can't make.
Starting point is 00:34:15 The Smalley Pirates are going to pay us nothing. Look up, look up, look up Yemeni Pirates. Make sure, make sure that there's a few stories about that. I don't care what they're. Okay. Well, this is, these are Yemeni. That's, well, no, next one. Next one.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Okay. Next, go back. Go back. Next one down. Next. What's no about the viral Yemeni pirate? There we go. that's what to know about the viral
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yemeni pirate Rashid dominating social media all right we're good look it's out there no one can accuse me of making it up okay good you won't read let's learn about him I guess
Starting point is 00:34:58 what happened well no I know we teased it yeah let's find out about Rashid a 19 year old Yemeni pirate went viral on TikTok and Instagram after posting videos on board the
Starting point is 00:35:14 galaxy leader. The Bahamas flagged cargo ship hijacked by Houthi militants and held captive since November 2023. Fake news. And spoke to a popular Twitch streamer Hassan Piker on Tuesday. Oh, wait. You got where you got Hassan? See, what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:31 Hassan beat us to the punch. He's getting that bad. You had the right idea. Yeah. No, we're getting better. Honestly, from people who have followed our podcast for a while, I think they'll look at this and go, look, they had the right idea, but they just, they just, they just, they got beat by Asan Piker and that's you know there's a much bigger streamer than us or whatever
Starting point is 00:35:48 you want to call it content creator if you have any suggestions for for just uh who we debased ourselves too unforgivable what war crimes can we can we uh um equivocate for yeah let us know let's make this interactive yes what um was there related thing to that um yeah so good luck to the timcast i guess and dave rubin good yeah good luck to them um i don't do they know whatever what's the difference yeah like did did they know that the people giving the money were russia who cares yeah i mean there's like pipe i'm not saying like i'm not i'm not holding water for russia but also like you know i don't know this war's been going on for a long time yeah just seems like it just seems like a lot of people doing a lot of weird stuff at this point
Starting point is 00:36:41 We're selling fucking fighter jets over there now. It's like, are we trying to go? I don't know. It just seems, it doesn't seem like we should be like, you know, arresting people for, well, I guess they're not getting arrested. I don't know what's going on. There's an indictment. That means something.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Right. I don't, look, should it be illegal to take money from a foreign power? Isn't that what we did with France in the revolution? Did Washington do Washington get in trouble because Lafayette helped him win a battle or two? No, he didn't. No, he didn't. So why is Tim Bull and Dave Rubin being persecuted? Just because he said Ukraine's our enemy, I believe, or something.
Starting point is 00:37:25 But that guy, you know, he's got a good gimmick because he trolls a lot. And he says, I'm a troll. I don't want anything on Twitter is a troll. And we got to start saying that. Everything's a troll. We can just say whatever we want. We can just talk about the Yemeni pirates. It's how great they are.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And then when people call us out on it, we just be like, you know, it's troll. I'm worried about that. It's troll. But you're getting paid by them, right? The troll. Yeah. They pay me the troll.
Starting point is 00:37:49 They love the troll. They love it. They like the onion. Do you think the onion created trolling? That's just satire. Who did create trolling? I remember, I remember following this. I don't know if he was counting.
Starting point is 00:38:07 is like an early troll or something. Yeah. But he did. David. John Hingley? Was that trolling? But he like, I forget what his username was, but he would comment kind of like, I don't know, it's sort of artistic things.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Like it wouldn't just be like you're a slur, slur, slur. Right, that's not trolling. Yeah. Okay. But, uh, all right, well, this is this made up guy. But I. Sandy Clause, I don't know. But, you know, it seems like,
Starting point is 00:38:40 but yeah, now that, like, the line between trolling and saying terrible things is thinner. Right. We could do it. Sure. Yeah, but that's a good defense. Your Honor, like, he's talking to, like, the Supreme Court, like, Your Honor, I was trolling. I mean, that's what he's like, why would you threaten to kill,
Starting point is 00:39:00 why would you threaten to kill yourself as part of a troll? self delete first of all say self delete to the judge that's a good point that we should tell the pirates maybe like we should that's part of our gimmick right you know like oh this woman was you know beaten and they took her took a diamond they were troller there's trawling her these pirates
Starting point is 00:39:29 yeah um anyway moving on there's this video here um this is a robot which is what is this from sky news watch this is how a mushroom wearing a robot body dances so this scientist grew mycelalium into the electronics of two new robots and then watch how they move the response to light this could be a new way of controlling robots here's the thing I think I remember when the movie came out this, what was it called? War of the Worlds? No, the one that Al Gore made.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Oh, an inconvenient truth. Inconvenient truth. And I never watched it. And I've always kind of felt like behind the eight ball. I know the premise of global warming and climate change. But I feel like I've always, I'm just been behind the eight ball a little bit with this. But we're kind of, we're still agreeing. Scientists are still agreeing.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Well, you agree if you're not out there. Science just still seem to agree in global warming, right? And climate change. Yeah. Yes. And that's a real problem. Right? We agree.
Starting point is 00:40:39 It's a real. I'm, follow me here. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were saying it was a real problem that they believe it.
Starting point is 00:40:44 No, no. I'm saying that it's supposed to be a problem. Yeah. And that it could destroy humanity effectively. Oh, yeah. I'm not countering that. I'm not the big,
Starting point is 00:40:53 I'm not the big, I'm not, I'm not growing at Thumburg. But I'm just saying, but that is what's the whole thing is like most scientists agree on that. Why are there scientists doing this? This can't be the prior.
Starting point is 00:41:04 already. We're like, if the world's really on the verge of collapse, why are we putting, making mushroom-powered robots? Look, you're saying that now, but what about when the day comes that you need a robot arm and you need a mushroom in it so that it can move? So I'm not have a mushroom in my, like smelling up my, my, my arm socket. It's not going to, it's not going to, it's going to, I mean, the mushroom, that's what, that controls it. You're going to my brain. You want my brain to be replaced by mushrooms? Is that what you're saying? Like, if you have me, like, if you have me, if you hit me over the head with something heavy and I have a traumatic brain injury and you just put mushrooms in my head to move my arms
Starting point is 00:41:42 so I can sign checks, the hooties, the hootie rebel checks that you. Well, why? What's so, I mean, look, why are you, why are you so against having your brain replaced with a mushroom? What if, what if it wasn't that different? Because mushrooms aren't me. All right. The other day, we're just, we're self-preserving creatures.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And I just want, I just want, I just want to be alive. What if you could have a robot pet that was operated by mushroom? And we're going to live underwater when the, when the floods happen? I mean, I'm just saying, like, all these things they're making AI. They're building these, you know, they're making, you know, pictures with this AI generation that, like, just, you know, of, like, Beyonce on a hang glider or whatever. Well, I mean, that's got a connotation of, you know, attacks now, whatever. They've ruined hang gliding now, the war. Israel Gaza war
Starting point is 00:42:34 But what's a more benign thing On Jetsky Beyonce and Jetsky Is that worth being living underwater Maybe you should just make I mean maybe focus on making scuba gear That's more accessible
Starting point is 00:42:48 Am I wrong here? I mean people are skeptical Of global the whole climate change thing And I don't think this helps That we have people at MIT or wherever this is Just making you know I mean if it's really Shouldn't all the science
Starting point is 00:43:02 If, like, we knew the aliens of independence they were coming. Wouldn't we be working on, like, weapons or attack the aliens? It wouldn't be, I mean, if you had scientists who were still trying to make, like, a smaller iPod while the aliens were coming, you wouldn't, wouldn't that be, like, wouldn't that,
Starting point is 00:43:18 that wouldn't be in the movie? Like, they're, like, they're building a cannon, right? And then these guys just like, oh, it's like, it's actually got, uh, two more gig of, of memory. He can put more, you know, snow patrol songs on there or whatever. it wouldn't be a priority Look I think that we've basically moved on
Starting point is 00:43:38 From trying to solve climate change And now we're we're we're trying to Give other kinds of creatures Bodies okay That maybe they can do something about it Okay so I I'm allowed to just you know Run my lawnmower all day now Yeah I think it's fine
Starting point is 00:43:54 I got a lot I guess side eye when I bring a lawnmower The dog park I just turn it on I keep pulling with oil and people get really mad at me. It's just blowing like black smoke into their dog's face. I'm like, hey, whatever. It's like, oh, it's climate change people?
Starting point is 00:44:12 Get lost. We're not going to fix it. We're building mushroom robots. Well, I'm not the problem. This time, I'm sick of these, like, Karen's giving me guff because their dogs choking on gas. I think we need to do this with more animals. More animal? This is not an animal.
Starting point is 00:44:36 It's a mushroom. Oh, right. It's not an animal. More food, you mean? More, more things, more creatures. More living things. Okay. Like, it's...
Starting point is 00:44:45 Yeah, I guess technically the mushrooms are living, sure. So, you know, we have a body for a mushroom. I want to have a little robot body for a dolphin. A robot dolphin. Because they're pretty smart. It's like that movie that shows Sequest, DSV. Yeah. With Roy Schneider.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Oh, right. And they had a dolphin that, like, they had, like, a bunch of computers they put on top of them. That probably, in real life, would have weighed him down and killed him. But, like, you know, but he could talk. That sounds cool. Yeah. We should make that happen. That was, like, the first season.
Starting point is 00:45:15 And then the show, we should watch that show, Sequest. Because remember the first season or two was that. And then, like, I guess the ratings were good enough. So they got rid of Roy Schneider and brought in Michael Learonside. And the whole thing became about war. Like, they get rid of this talking dolphin. And then we're going to just shoot things. A lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Yeah, so I guess we can learn a little bit of that. Is there more, too? This is just... Oh, okay, yeah. Oh, it's just a watch thing. Researchers at Cornell University and the University of Florence created a pair of new robots, one shaped like a starfish and the other on wheels, and then grew mycelium into the electronic. Did you ever tell you how when I went fishing on Boy Scout trip one time or Cub Scout
Starting point is 00:45:59 trip and my dad came and i called starfish and i cried yeah i wouldn't they wouldn't let me keep it and i cried no you didn't i wanted to keep it i was a little kid but i don't like cried i was very upset i might have cried oh i was more like more like mad you know you crying you're like so mad you cry yeah people like to hide behind that you hear that like like alpha male's all right i'm just crying because i'm so mad because you wouldn't get my starfish Anyway So we're not here Starfish now
Starting point is 00:46:33 I get triggered Go on Why wouldn't they let you keep the starfish Well it's not it's not food I was like I'll just keep it And like I can't just put glue on it or something Or lacquer I didn't know what lacquer was at the time probably
Starting point is 00:46:45 But you could lacquer or something can't you I didn't lacquer anything And just stays that Like why do you even pay for taxes during me Can you just dump a bunch of lacquer It just turns into like a kind of glassy kind of thing I don't know I was dumping in paint
Starting point is 00:46:59 yeah oh oh like they didn't want the hit the starfish's rotting body around who i mean that makes some sense i guess it's like it's going to the store and just getting like a pound of chicken breast and just like leaving in your room probably this is gross that's true i guess it would have innards that would rot sure and i look when you when i got fishing merit badge at some point and you learn how to gut a fish which you don't have to be a boy scout the gutter fish you're a lot Everyone's a lot to do that. But I don't know how you got a starfish. I guess you just kind of, there is a hole.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So you just take one of those fillet knives. You just kind of jamming in the hole probably and scrape around. Yeah, there you go. Until stuff falls out. Yeah. You know, whatever. The fact fungal networks are alive and drive in all sorts of conditions. Makes them ideal for controlling robots in unexpected environments.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I guess maybe you're right. Maybe they are, by that they mean like a, they mean a world full of climate change. Living systems respond to touch They respond to light They respond to heat They respond to even some unknowns Like signals And the studies lead
Starting point is 00:48:06 I said the study's lead author Anon Mishra From Cornell's organic robotics lab Well that's interesting That's uh I mean isn't Cornell more of a farming school I may make better soybeans for me And leave the mushroom roll
Starting point is 00:48:21 I guess that makes sense They're growing mushrooms You farm mushrooms or they just grow on trees How does this all work? I know you can, I don't know if they built this using foraged mushrooms. I'd imagine they probably grew it, right? Yeah, I bet, again, I don't mention them twice, but I used to listen to those Joroboian episodes where you talk about the people eating mushrooms in the old days and they
Starting point is 00:48:41 got smart. That's how it would be, the monkeys eat the mushrooms, I guess. That was the whole gimmick with somebody scientists. They think monkeys ate mushrooms or apes or chimps. A chimp eats a mushroom and it grows a brain. Something like that. They became, that's how we got smart. Do you think that's how it would happen?
Starting point is 00:48:57 makes as much sense as anything else, I guess. I don't know. I think, yeah, I think we just, I think the more food you get, the more, they say that. Sometimes they go, oh, you get more food and you grow the brain, but then, I mean, why we're into, I mean, I was going to say, why we're in dinosaurs, we're smart, they seem to eat a lot. But I think that's because maybe they were, but they didn't have a thumb. It's not just the brains. You also need the thumb.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Oh, yeah, no, like the, anybody is just a prison without the thumb. Yeah, imagine being smart, but being like a, like a bronosaurus or a T-rex. And you're like, I mean, it's not the worst thing. It's like, it's like being smart and hot. Where you can still like, you know, bang whoever you want and like, you know, within reason and like, you know, and like, uh, play sports and stuff. But like, you also could like, you know, I don't know, write great expectations or something, but smart people do. Discover corks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah. Whatever. But like, but then you, then women wouldn't want, women. don't want to sleep with you if you know what you know what the cork is. I mean, imagine like some woman you're trying to like, there's some bar and you bring up corks. I mean, I'd be able to know what is cork, like half an atom. Is that what it is or something? It's like a thing that makes up an electron and she's just sitting there going like so you like don't have a,
Starting point is 00:50:15 you just like nothing down there. He's like a Ken doll. Was that what's going on? Like no, no, I can, I can, I can, I can sex you. They just go get. drunk with their other girls and they fall like, you know, describing women at a bar now. I'm the worst insult.
Starting point is 00:50:35 These women that go around and they fall at bars. What? Try talking about corks and they don't give her shit. Especially explaining what the cork is and they call the woman a whore? I hate women and their shitty whore feet Oh, because they fall? Yeah, I guess they fall.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Why is that, oh, yeah, yeah. Is that whole idea of women falling when they're drunk because they're wearing heels? Is that? Yeah, I think it's mostly when you're wearing heels, yeah, the unstableized to begin with. So it's kind of, I'm not saying you're asking, but it's not, no one should feel bad for them. It's not, it's not, you know, uh, it's like you, you play, you play with fire. You want your ass to look good. You better, you better learn how to walk when you're drunk.
Starting point is 00:51:36 We're going to laugh when you fall. I'm a new tate. Anyway, what else do we got going on? Honestly, it wouldn't actually be a bad, it might actually be a successful, like, TikTok. or YouTube Shorts channel or something to just, to just call it women falling. I mean, sure.
Starting point is 00:52:04 We can source the videos, yeah. Just women, I mean, is there not any videos of women falling? We end up faking it. Yeah, I'm sure there's some. We just pay women to fall to borrow. It doesn't matter if there's not a lot in general. If your channel is a constant stream of women falling,
Starting point is 00:52:19 people will eventually accept that it's, that they always do that. We have to move to a smaller city, like maybe Chicago or, like, Milwaukee or whatever, and it'll get known. It's like, you know, by these women, like, whatever local scene is. Because in New York, everyone is just too anonymous, right? And we want people enough.
Starting point is 00:52:35 We want to get known for this. Because people go, well, that's Ray and Lucy. They run this weird TikTok channel, and they'll pay your money to fall if you're dressed hot. If you're dressed like a, if you dress like a slut, they'll pay your money to fall. And so, like, people will end up, like, once it catches on, people will start doing it. We need to move to Milwaukee. Like how the dating podcast kind of like, they have a symbiotic relationship with the only fans girls right oh that that whatever whatever yeah they bring on the and where they get the fat girls
Starting point is 00:53:01 from the cocky fat girls those are those are uh farm raised but we got to like uh no we you got start an account called women falling and then every video we post it'll just it'll be captioned with like it'll just be captioned with something simple like just like just like this It'll be like a woman falling in her heels and it'll just be captioned. I fucking hate women. This is why. You're saying the quiet part out loud.
Starting point is 00:53:39 This is why women can't be president. Yeah. Yeah. No one really cares about that anymore. No one cares. President's not really a desirable thing in here. They're all installed, right? I just did the thing, though.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I just nagged you. Oh, well, it worked. You know who's going to be the biggest viewer of the channel? Who? Women. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's the biggest.
Starting point is 00:54:07 That's the one uncapped secret or one told secret of all this stuff. Is that women are the biggest. They love it. They love anti-woman media because no one brings women down like other women. So you're like, how are you doing it? We got to start some fake women accounts, like, fake woman accounts. Yeah. that are just like, I'm a woman, and I think this is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Like, that's, that's got to fill the concept. Another one, like, I'm a woman. I'm getting paid by Russia. And Houthi virus. Speaking of, it's really not the same thing. What's this pineapple thing? The Spanish pineapple was this? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Because this reminds me of that somehow. This is quite a, what do you call it? grab bag eclectic is the word it's an eclectic bag of topics sure don't draw attention to the topics it's all just stuff is on
Starting point is 00:55:04 on top of our head or brain or mushroom whatever Spanish supermarket shoppers using pineapples to search for love and surprise the new craze so this is the kind of thing we need to incorporate this into the women falling
Starting point is 00:55:18 yeah because this is also on TikTok we need like kind of so this is a new thing on TikTok uh singles I mean scrolls down let's see they put a pineapple in your in their trial a trolley is like a car right what is this is spain yeah what happens in spain
Starting point is 00:55:34 spanisha media crazy in spain where people are encouraged to seek out of prospective partners in supermarkets with the hell of pineapples has loaded some chaos isn't everyone in spain hot i think they're just hot and carefree and like they don't have to work that hard because like the government is like kind of whatever's european yeah and he'll just go clubbing in madrid or barcelona like what are they I mean, I know America, everyone's just like, you know, everyone hates each other, and a lot of us are fat, and the whole depressed could we eat, like, weird food that has chemical. But we're in Spain. I thought the whole thing was Europeans.
Starting point is 00:56:07 They just are free with their bodies and they drink wine all day and they just make love on the riviera's, all the different riviera's in Europe. That's how it's supposed to be. Why do they need to be putting pineapples and carts to meet people? What's going on here? In the city of Bilbao, Northern Spain, police were reporting. Courtedly called by workers after a flash mob of hopeful singles packed a mercadona store and overwhelmed it. I don't associate Spanish people with flashmobs. It seems like something, you know, but we're going, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:39 The crowd quickly dispersed when officers arrived and no one was arrested in the incident. Singletons have been strong, have been drawn to branches of the supermarket chain, where it is claimed that they can find romance if they visit between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and put a pineapple upside down in their trunk. I think what's that? Because this girl's beautiful. Yeah, she's gorgeous. Very pretty girl, right?
Starting point is 00:56:59 And her friend's like, you know, she's no pig. You know, she's not as high as her, but whatever. Everyone needs a less attractive friend. And maybe she's dragging her friend to get a pineapple, I'll put it inside her. I mean, that's what I think is happening. I think this is a guy of a pineapple. He's also attractive enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:13 He's a pretty attractive guy. He's got his chain. Why is he? Look, maybe we're projecting an American mindset onto this. If you did this in the United States, you'd just be, you'd just be mocked as a pathetic loser on social media. But maybe when you do this in Spain, you actually get laid. I think they get laid anyway.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I think this is literally what's happening here. I think they're just meeting up in supermarkets to put pineapples inside each of his asses. And like we're acting like it's like dating. It's like, no, no, no. They're literally just getting off on doing it at the supermarket with a pineapple. It's just like they're real freaks over there. This guy even has a look on his face.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Like, I know where this pineapple's going to be. This is the only way I can come. In my ass. Yeah. Well, the girl looks at me while have a pineapple in my ass. I mean, yeah, if they, if they like someone, they bump their trolley against theirs, indicating they are interested in chatting to them. I feel like, look, here's the thing, much like our deal with the Houthi rebel pirates.
Starting point is 00:58:08 And I discoled you because no, we're not getting paid, but this is that. Someone, someone's getting paid to make up some story about Spain. So it seems like, oh, no, nothing's better in Europe. You know, now people go, oh, you can't make money in Europe. You can't make money in Spain. rich in Spain who's getting rich here six people all right but you know in general i think people might have better lives in spain yeah than the average american i think you have to have a better life to believe that this is going to work that to have faith in something like that like a pineapple
Starting point is 00:58:42 well i don't think it's i think it's all made up yeah i'm saying this is happening and we're and someone's creating an article here to convince americans no it's over there they're the same problems we do. They have to do stuff of pineapples and a witch has to come and purify the to get a date. Like, no one wants, no one wants to tell Americans
Starting point is 00:59:03 they're just, they're just drinking wine banging all day in Madrid. I listen to Scrillix. It's just fantastic, you know? You're in Detroit trying to, you know, and a bunch of wild dogs are trying to hunt
Starting point is 00:59:19 your child and you're reading this article well at least i'm not in spain imagine having to do a pineapple thing that's what all this is everything's propaganda so why can't we you know so everyone get the bags why can't we get a bag i mean i'll write the article i'll make up some story about um name a country norway in norway they have to get a woman you got um put um toothpicks on you your your balls there you go it's not as good You know, fucking Trump never made you do that. Biden never tried you to get, to put a pine cone in your, in, uh, in your, in, uh, in your, ass.
Starting point is 01:00:03 What's saying? This is just, this doesn't make any sense. Um, no, it doesn't. I want to believe in this. It's like Venezueling Christmas. According to the publication, other items in someone's trolley provide clues about their intentions. This is such a nonsense.
Starting point is 01:00:18 For example, if someone spots chocolates or sweets. It means the other person is looking for long-term relationships or something more serious. This seems like kind of like stalker bait. Like, you know, that's like, I'm going to put a bunch of secret symbols in my grocery card. Yeah. And you're going to figure out if I like you. No, this is a fumbling spy effort.
Starting point is 01:00:39 This is like, this is how you, like, like, is how you catch like a handicapped, uh, pedophile or something. But, but, but, wait, hold on. But a legume or lettuce. means they're looking for something more casual. Yeah, no, again, again, this is, everything on the internet is fake. We're being allowed to. I don't believe Spain even exists. I don't think Spain's there anymore.
Starting point is 01:01:08 No, after reading this article, what happened to Spain? Did you guys bomb Spain? And you're not telling us? Oh, Spain's crazy these days. We're doing this whole thing with pineapples. No one dropped an A bomb there. That would be, why would we do this? that it just i mean this it's like when your dog like we oh we your dog gets like put down they tell
