Starting point is 00:00:00 Iran is claiming that an oil tanker blew up after going off road in the Strait of Hormuz and hitting a mine, which sounds like either the most obvious false flag in history or the cockiest guy to command a boat since Captain Ahab. This caps off a week where President Trump continued to bomb Iran and his bullshit war about fake nuclear proliferation, while he signed an actual nuclear deal with the country who attacked us on 9-11, with the help of the CIA and perhaps some other country that I won't name. But here's a hint. It rhymes with Israel. Speaking of Israel, Mayor Mandami backed down on his threat to arrest BB Netanyahu,
Starting point is 00:00:42 claiming he just found out he doesn't have the authority to do it. Some people want to give him credit for saying he wanted to do it, but not me. If you make me mayor of New York City, I promise to arrest literally anybody, regardless of what the law says. I'll even dig up the bones of Princess Diana and deliver them gift-wrapped to the vultures of the New York Post. I don't care. I just really, really want to be mayor.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And speaking of getting arrested, the Tate Brothers were arrested in Miami over rape and sex trafficking charges. Look, I'm a big fan of kickboxing in pink underwear and putting women in their place. But as Robert De Niro famously told James Woods, be a man don't be a pimp oh and the price of oil is finally about to skyrocket so it's shaping up to be an interesting august welcome to the asshole of summer welcome to cump oil tanker explodes after hitting naval mine in a
Starting point is 00:01:45 straight of hormones erronean media claims uh it doesn't seem to be a lot of uh good reason for this to happen in my opinion uh you know it's like what is what are we dealing with as like you know the alternative to being a complete false flag that we're going to use to like you know launch the next phases of war that you know what is the operating thesis going to be here that the uh the boat captain is just a real contrarian guy he doesn't like being pushed around hey don't tell me what to do man you know iran's like hey go here and then i go nah i'm not well i didn't become an oil tank captain take orders from fucking you know guys who mine the harbor fucking you know i'm i'm a rogue i'm a rogue oil tank i think we're dealing
Starting point is 00:02:28 we're dealing with a rogue oil take commander it doesn't seem like a like an archetype you know it's not it's not exactly a pirate ship it's a massive uh thing that carries a oil from point a point b i don't think they like hey you know we just you know we mine the straight and form oh dear god that sounds terrible well here's where you have to yeah we'll just do that because our job to bring oil from here to there not to you know not to care about you know i'm going to plot my own course you're not the boss of me now what we talk like it's like what could be what could be the you know now look if this was kind of done with the advice and you know of perhaps a certain you know intelligent service like oh maybe you go maybe go over here because you know what the minds are or
Starting point is 00:03:20 or maybe you don't even need to hit a mine because you know we put the minds in the ship don't worry about it bro or maybe they don't you know i'm not saying the captain though who know maybe is anything on the ship is the age of satellites and drones maybe there's maybe there's maybe there's no one even on there now you know if it's a real situation i know thoughts and prayers of course but yeah you can't we're operating at the speed of uh the 20 you know 2026 now you can't sit around and like you know second guess your instincts anymore and the reality is we've been burned too many times we know what's up you know this this this was supposed to like be done months ago uh wasn't it was supposed to be done a year ago didn't we like bomb their nuclear facilities last year and we i mean oh hundred best attack has ever happened we got these guys we got we got we got the bunker we use the bunker buster blow it up no more no more nuclear in the mountains and now you know
Starting point is 00:04:20 know and then of course you know it's whatever six months later well they have it again they got they rebuilt we got it they have two weeks it just seems like you know and then we made a deal we made a deal it's over i'm trump just to be clear just to be clear there's impressions of trump but you know it just there's not a lot of uh reason back and forth i think they've realized that i think you know I think with this latest past couple of weeks, they realized that, like, they didn't kind of build a narrative. They should have been,
Starting point is 00:04:55 there should have been more false flags along the way. I've been saying this, you know, I said this back with the Iraq War. You know, look, when they, when they started to take a while
Starting point is 00:05:04 before they came up with these WMDs, which they never did. But when they first started, when they first started to not exist, I remember saying, well, they better, they better fake it,
Starting point is 00:05:14 which would be the easiest thing in the world. Why wouldn't they? And why didn't they? And why didn't they? didn't they? I think he wanted us to know. They're like they're too addicted. I think they're sick of having the fake things. I think there's a lot of cost cutting.
Starting point is 00:05:28 This is kind of like private equity when they take over a company. You go, why do you need, uh, why do you need, uh, three, you know, three shift managers? Why can't two guys do the work? Why can't you know, two shifts work, you know, 12 hour days and get it all done? Why do we need three shifts? Fuck this. or whatever little cost cutting why do you need so many staplers you know and before you know it's companies running on you know fumes and people are dying right also that a few guys could build a
Starting point is 00:05:59 you know get a bigger pool on their boat but you can no you control private equity that's you control you own the companies your your retirement funds control these companies shut up biggest horse shiver heard my life it's the same idea the people who run these wars they're like like they're sick of having to like stage things they're sick of having to have narratives and be creative about it they kind of just want to get into it because they that's why that's why it's like because it's narrative of like well they they they want you to know that sounds like the most easy kind of like you know there's like oh it seems a conspiracy well no they were if it was a conspiracy they would have done this they go well you know they they want us to know and that doesn't really make
Starting point is 00:06:43 They don't think they really want us to know. They just don't want to spend the money in effort to convince this otherwise. It's a subtle difference. It's an important difference because the first one implies they have some master plan. They don't. They're looting the world and the country and the economies of the world brazenly. They're going to the mats. They're building their bunkers.
Starting point is 00:07:07 They're building their fortifications. They're not like, you know, they're not like, you know, they're, they're going. They know that a certain point, the people are going to have, like, you know, as much as we like watching House of the Dragon, you know, the World Cup is over and people might start getting a little testy again and go, what are we doing? What are we doing? Iran again, this is not over? Why? Why is the oil price going to, the oil price is going to go up soon? I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I mean, this is, this is this manipulation of the oil prices, whether it's China or whatever, you know, they've been able to keep it. under wraps to a certain extent. I mean, the price of everything is going up. But, you know, they've been able to keep it from hitting the fan for now. But it does feel like it's about to pop, right? It feels like this is like we're in the kind of the lull of summer, the calm before the storm. What comes towards the end of summer hurricane season? And actually, that's that I was about to say.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I mean, that actually could disrupt things itself. I was just making a metaphor. But, you know, hurricane season is also like, you know, kind of a dangerous time. And you get, you get some Gulf oil and go offline, perhaps, you know, I mean, whatever, American Gulf oil. I don't know. It didn't, didn't hurricane season lead to the BP disaster? Maybe not. No, I happen in the winter, right?
Starting point is 00:08:29 What do I know? My point is anything can happen and it feels like it will. And it's an oil tanker blowing up, just doesn't bode well. Seems odd. Especially because what are we doing this week? We're having a nuclear agreement that allows Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium. President Trump has approved the agreement with Saudi Arabia that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for a civilian nuclear program. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Well, civilian, what's the problem? I mean, this is so blatant. Here's the thing. We can't get our, we can't make up our minds about Saudi Arabia. I mean, of course there is a terrible thing, right? Of course, Saudi Arabia, we've been making deals with the devil and where the devil. you know since the you know world war one with them to get this oil but you know we've been in truined with them we fought the Persian Gulf War for them we we have banned our bush the
Starting point is 00:09:24 whole thing and now we're gonna like basically let them get a nuclear bomb that's what this is we're letting them get a nuclear bomb um that's what civilian nuclear programs do don't don't you know that didn't you learn that from what we did in ira oh no oh they have a civilian plan well they could just make a they can make a bomb in two weeks right I mean this kind of shit so we're basically and I guess on some level is this me we're gonna let Iran have the nuclear bomb because we can't stop them it does yeah it doesn't seems to make sense I mean you know they're very uh apparently the last guy you know the guy we killed right who's a not comani but comani
Starting point is 00:10:13 uh he you know the new his son who we you know we also almost killed is it's more into nuclear perforation according to them so i don't understand like maybe we should learn our lesson and go hey every time we kill them they want nukes more if we want to stop them getting nukes it seems like the best ways maybe to not kill them i don't know uh but you know it's like maybe the idea is the idea to give Saudi Arabia nukes doesn't seem like it makes a ton of sense nothing seems to make sense we're just here's the thing They're just making deals. There is no, like, Henry Kissinger organized, you know, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:10:53 Like, what's his name? Rubio is out there, like, doing trouble with diplomacy? They're selling off the country. They're selling it to buy Blu-ray players and giant projection screens for their private islands. They want to buy a new diamond, a diamond-encrusted. a yacht that they can use the crab any guy think of the dumbest horse shit you could you would buy with money after having money for years that's what they're doing with the money they're getting from selling off the country they don't need it the only reason you would need more
Starting point is 00:11:32 money with the amount of people need money these people have is if you're planning for hyperinflation if you're planning for the entire economy to go asunder there's no other reason you don't need this much money. What are you going to buy with it? They're counting on a day when a bag of of rabbits is going to cost, you know, a million dollars so you can cook some rabbit meat. Oh, the rich aren't going to be good. Yeah, because the alternative is going to be sludge stew. You know, excuse me, uranium-tinged seaweed gumbo. They're going to set the poison to the oceans. I'm not trying to get old doom and gloom here. I'm thinking, it doesn't make any, I don't, I don't care how gauder you can be. I don't know how much of a cokehead you have to be.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Rich Cokehead. If you have a billion dollars, why do you need 12? Because you're planning to destroy everything. Because it's not good enough to have it. They, they, they, they, they, it's really, the sweetest thing is you not having it. What the, but the, the funny thing about the 20th century and the 21st century is that's really around the world, not, you know, not just America, but especially, America but the whole world has seen an increase of wealth you know people like to blame capitalism and sure but the industrial revolution but yeah it was capitalism sure has brought on um you know the kings used to live good and the nobles used to live good you know they didn't have electricity but they had a lot nice things and it's time went on throughout you know europe
Starting point is 00:13:07 people who lived nice who had money it's gotten much better for the poor and the middle class which barely even existed before. And they don't like that. They'd really rather it be, they look at these stories with the rich, they had slaves and they had their islands. And no one questioned who went to their islands, right?
Starting point is 00:13:27 That was a wake-up call for these people. When they realize, we need the whole Epstein thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait. We get private islands and you want to know what happens on the private islands? That's a bridge too far, I think. I think we gotta do something about this.
Starting point is 00:13:42 the social order you know it's not good enough to have money anymore you have to have none sorry i'm in the boat with you i'm in the boat heading for mine with the or the rest of you i'm no what do i look like some rich king obviously not it's just you know but like it's it's that's the only explanation the only explanation is that they just want to get as much wealth out of the hands of anyone who doesn't already have it and that means giving Saudi Arabia nukes blowing up by Iran whatever you know
Starting point is 00:14:18 just just launching we were entering an age of drug and warfare which apparently we can't win apparently the people who started you have to be an idiot and go well I guess that we know even though we started all this could we it wasn't us and by us
Starting point is 00:14:34 the US us us right that mean you is that for us it's for them these drones his AI and this horse shit and you know
Starting point is 00:14:47 and you know it's just this this is not like you know the private islands this is why this is why you should vote for me is what I want to get out
Starting point is 00:14:58 vote for me I'm running for mayor of New York maybe governor of New York whatever's opening up first someone look into this for me there's got to be someone out there who can run a campaign put me in power somewhere
Starting point is 00:15:09 and I'll do crazy things all these politicians, they're just, they're playing it very safe. Like Zormandami. Zormandami is this big socialist mayor, huh? This is the big mayor of New York City. I'm the big social. I'll do any. This is him coming out very bravely. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.
Starting point is 00:15:29 The architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people. Sure. He is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people. Yeah. For the maiming of tens of thousands of children. As those who survive, This is no amputation. Yeah, okay. And just last month, the UN confirmed that Palestinian children continue to be deliberately targeted and killed by Israeli armed forces.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Sure, they're going to do something about? Criminal court issued a warrant for his arrest. As human beings, we have spent generations building a shared understanding that there are crimes so great. It sounds like he wants to do something about it. Said, I agree with the ICC. The Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for his crime. Cool, bro. As I do for anyone else charged by the ICC.
Starting point is 00:16:12 My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the international criminal court's arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority. There we go. Oh, we don't have the authority. So we got to do nothing? To enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So is that what you have now, right? You have a guy, the most rogue guy you can think, I'm Zora mandamus. The socialist. He's talking. He's talking. came after he was talking all this shit about how he's going to arrest it and Yahoo he came to the UN and this is what he does he doesn't do anything all right he doesn't do anything because he's worried about what the door does trump worry about what authority he has just done a judge stops him
Starting point is 00:16:56 sometimes you know or or mike Pence stops him sometimes but trump doesn't worry about it it's not a left right this is about like he cut this shit thing all right you want to give people brownie points for talking a lot of shit give me brandy points I'll do this just put me a power I got nothing we need to start giving power to people who have nothing
Starting point is 00:17:20 nothing to lose nothing is billion this is what you thought you thought you were hiring rogue billionaires there's no such thing as a rogue billionaire they're rogue to like in the context of like you know they wear it's like the guy who comes
Starting point is 00:17:34 to the country club wearing like the the garish pants with a checkerboard pattern or something you know they don't actually they're not going to, like, give money to the poor. They're just going to, like, you know, hey, you know, he's going to make a comment about the chairman's wife. And he's going to, you know, he's going to, he's going to,
Starting point is 00:17:54 he's, he drinks scotch after Labor Day. I don't know the rules. We need people who are slabs. We need the, you know, I'm not saying the guillotine, but some of the French Revolution seem to make sense. That made a bigger mess later on, but what's the difference? if they're not you know in other countries
Starting point is 00:18:13 they you know people in France they'll just they'll just riot if you like you know if you take jeopardy off the air or whatever they watch they watch Jerry Lewis that's the very outdated reference but whatever it is whatever they were into you take away you take away you know you make them oh you have to work like
Starting point is 00:18:28 a new civil servants if you know people get hired now you get like you know you have to pay in like 1% more for your health care they burn down Paris and you know it doesn't seem like a very efficient way to run the country either but you know why are we always getting the brunt of it we need to just uh we need some new idea we need some fresh blood just doesn't seem people the only people tell the tape brothers are going to do it right
Starting point is 00:19:00 but you know i never thought they were but people thought the tape brothers were an interesting uh because you know some people think that this was all about like you know um men not being men right an agenda and I understand some people argue that you know men have been a masculine the working class men and they don't do enough jujitsu they don't do enough uh you know crav maga and and you're made to kind of be weak so they can be rolled over and there's something look there's something to be seen there right and so you get these tape brothers coming along and they teach they're trying to teach men you know to talk to women put them in their you know and it kind of you know get getting be nasty again and it turns out
Starting point is 00:19:43 they keep having this situation where they're accused of rape and sex trafficking. Tate brothers held in federal detention as they face new sex trafficking charges, possible extradition. So this is, I mean, look, this is, you can't, don't meet your heroes, I guess would be the moral here. You know, if these guys can't be trusted, who can be? That's the thing. It's just, you know, we're really, we need a better class of grift in this country. we need to get you know these guys out there
Starting point is 00:20:18 these are clavicular I mean you know he's getting funded by what is he getting funded by Peter Thiel the anti-crice expert and get the tape brothers this whole bro culture in Miami it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere
Starting point is 00:20:33 regardless of you know these horrible charges and you know the implication of that it just we need to we need our myths you know we need like look to the Odyssey.
Starting point is 00:20:46 It's doing very well. People, yeah, a little people are upset about it, but it teaches something. We need an age of virtue again. I don't mean like, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:55 celibacy or whatever, but just like, you know, maybe people need me to get, maybe volunteering needs to be cool again. You know, Lucy was telling me about some, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:03 charity where you can, you can, you can, you can, uh, I guess you couple babies, but I thought you were saying cuddly old people. These old people,
Starting point is 00:21:13 you know, whatever. I was, I was getting ready. She said we should volunteer with the old people. I'm like, yeah, sure. Well, actually, I don't do enough volunteering. I should go out there and volunteer.
Starting point is 00:21:21 That's, this to be the summer of service. We should all make a commitment to go out. And she was telling me, this thing in the hospital where the, you know, it's kind of aggressive, but you can, you know, you cuddle the babies. Oh, that seems like a nice thing to do. Like these babies, those own parents, I guess, or whatever, which I don't know how many there are. But for that moment, I was ready to cuddle an old pair.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I didn't like the idea of it. it seems odd, but to take an elderly person and just kind of, like spoon them with their consent, of course. I don't know, rocked them to sleep. And that's my point, even though it was going to be rough, if they asked for it, I might have done it. Now, I don't think that does exist. I don't know if I should be the one doing it. But that's a thing. It's like, you know, we need to humble ourselves.
Starting point is 00:22:08 We need to do these things. This can't be a thing. And again, I'm not some paragon of aesthetic virtue. Is that the term? I'm no monk. I'm a fat, loud psychopath on a podcast. But, I mean, it does seem like, you know, none of these cocky bros seem to, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:31 have the people at heart either. Maybe we need to start some kind of weird charity cult. And I can be the guru, perhaps, or just, you know, the first among equals. and we'll just you know we'll go around collect cans and we'll get and get the money for the cans and the money goes to the people and when the prosecutors ask me who were the people a lot of people are the people don't get it twisted i'm here to help um maybe we'll you know maybe we'll know it's not they used to have these to have things those the nights of columbus the nights of the
Starting point is 00:23:08 knights of those the lions club the knights of malta is that that's the little thing i don't know but i know things still exist i guess but they're like you know they're elderly kind of things right we need to make a new knighthood the knights of uh the knights of uh the knights of hoarmoos why not why don't we still because the home the the straits of hoarmoos uh you know that might they might be iranian i guess i think they're interna on the international i don't really understand law but it's in the zeitgeist and i feel like let's just start an international organization called the knights of hormoos where we do charity and we uh and we and an outreach and we read to old people i'll read to old people i'll read to calumani christ or an old lady you know hey you like i'll do
Starting point is 00:23:57 all the voices even uh ha ha ha because they're french right dantes ho ho and she doesn't like it you know Well, yeah, so I'm sorry, Vin Diesel wasn't available to read to you. You take what you can get. I mean, I'll leave you if you want, but we're not, we're not replacing me with Channing Tatum, all right? Who do you think's coming to see you?
Starting point is 00:24:21 You think you're surprised? What did you do in your life? You know, it doesn't think, just because you're volunteering is, I mean, you have to be a sucker. But, you know, it is important to give because, you know, it's not enough just to fight.
Starting point is 00:24:35 It's not, you know, you fight the government you fight I mean you you you fight the I mean government overreach I'm not telling you to go you know start war but you know you fight you fight your encroachment on your freedoms and stuff and you fight against these like wars I mean or fight the government I am I going to be arrested for telling you to fight the government whatever probably don't do it if I am don't do it that's not my intention my intention is not to get arrested here but if that if that's what it takes all I'm saying is this idea like well we everyone's got to learn to fight each other like I love Joe Joe Rogan's told me more than any man alive
Starting point is 00:25:15 that's got to be a true statement but that being said I don't know if he's been a great influence you know yes he's made some men healthier who otherwise wouldn't have worked in their bodies and that's commendable but I don't know if this whole obsession with fighting has really been that beneficial to anyone it just seems like you know there's nothing wrong we don't have protect yourself
Starting point is 00:25:34 that's fine but what's what's more commendable a man who does jujitsu um and fights another man um in the streets of Miami
Starting point is 00:25:46 with his bare hands like you know with no with noble fighting technique or a man handing out soup but if you if you fuck with him he's got a bare brass knuckles and he'll hit you with them or pipe.
Starting point is 00:26:01 You know, a man's working in a soup kitchen, but if you come to steal the soup, he hits you with a pipe, isn't that man more noble than the guy doing noble you didn't hand to hand jujitsu over some chick with big tits?
Starting point is 00:26:14 Right? You see what I mean? It's like, you know, we need to have noble ventures at heart. It's like, it's not Christian. I don't know. This is how we start a movement, is all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:26:25 This is how we kind of get organized. It's a nice thing. It's a nice thing to imagine a world where, you know, everything is not just about, oh, go, invest in Bitcoin and you can get the boat. What happens to the boat doesn't matter? What happens when we don't need the boat? Boat? How often do people even use in these boats?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Boats, I mean, even people who have money. Look, people who are avid fishermen, sure, I think they like to go in their fishing boats, right? I've known people who fished and they fished a lot. I'm not trying to play into stereotypes, but a lot of people don't use their boats. I think my grandpa had a boat years ago, and they barely went on, and I went on like twice in my life.
Starting point is 00:27:13 It's not that fun. You know, you want to just get a dinghy, get a kayak. Why these rich people need these giant boat? Just being a mansion then. What's the point of being in a boat? I'm saying. I'm like, so does that, of course,
Starting point is 00:27:28 but like, why are you envying that? Why don't you just go out and play a hoose guitar and give a give give give give give you give you give you I've been eating pumper nickel bread Authentic pumper nickel bread high in fiber you give that to the homeless they can live on that for a long. It doesn't go bad barely ever goes bad very nice. I'm saying we need to get back to like a certain kind of I don't know like like like a monk like ethic teach people how to read We need to get our know our neighbors better All we do is with chasing dollars you know I really shouldn't be I'm my bad running a cult
Starting point is 00:28:14 I this is I mean I'm not I'm not intending the scam anyone But this is kind of how a scam starts I feel like Because it's gonna be a guy here's how it goes down There's gonna be a guy whether it's a whether it's a fucking guy He's gonna scam for his own right or like or it's gonna be some intelligence you know some fed And they're gonna come around and go you really bad at running these you know running this charity run organizing this shit but I'm terrible at it I mean like I fucking post-it notes and like I tried I tried you know it's like a fucking shit like it's like
Starting point is 00:28:40 you know I'm supposed to be like an earthy guy so I have like a moleskin notebook and I'm like trying to write the ledgers whatever you know I'm buying the rice and trying to cook the rice and it's all fucking going to shit people donating money I don't know how to have a fucking track to you know with their tax ID number at Costco and I'm like I don't have my tax ID and you know let me take care of please please take care of this that'd be so great who are you and like oh they give you a fucking i'm you know bob and bob's a fed or bob's just you know best case he's a scammer best case he's just gonna steal the money and like and then you're either way you're fucked because you let some guy you know this is how people go under they want to do the right thing
Starting point is 00:29:21 but you live in we're living in a terrible world and i feel like if i if i do try to start like a nice charity the Knights of Hormuz it's not gonna I will I won't be treated I won't be viewed well in the world I won't you know not the guy no one wants to see me as the as the as the as a voice of a charity is the kingdom of Hormuz the knights of four moves the night's of former was the kingdom ruled by a dynasty of southern Arab origin it was located in the east side of the Persian Gulf and extended as far as Bahrain. So there will be some if I you know this is the kind of thing I'm realizing
Starting point is 00:30:00 now if I try to make the Knights of Four Moos I'm going to be linked to this You know they're gonna look they're gonna I'm not Islamic They're gonna say yeah you did they're gonna try and make me into a terrorist They always do They're to claim them you know so it's like this is the kind of thing Maybe I have to call the Knights of Ray That's the Star Wars thing isn't it? Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:30:21 They just join Knights of Columbus I mean are they What is the night's? of Columbus anyway what are they up to we need to start some kind of charity not chair i don't want to start charity i want to take part in charity i don't want to start anything nice of chari i wrote nights of charity the year nice of columbus is a global catholic i'm catholic a global catholic fraternal service order founded by the bloke gives membership is limited to practicing catholic men like i guess i mean is led by patrick kelly the order's 14 supreme knight I mean, it does sound kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:31:06 It's a mutual benefit society for working class and immigrant Catholics in the United States. In addition to providing an insurance system for its members. Oh, I could use insurance. It's grown to support refugee relief, Catholic education, local parishes and dioceses. Maybe I'll just do this.
Starting point is 00:31:23 You know, when you don't have to reinvent the wheel, we could just, you know, we can, we can just take part and whatever way we see. I mean, look, if the old people want me to, cuddle them. I will. I'll cuddle the old people. I'll play music for them. I'll bring my synth. I'll start fucking, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:44 I feel like the elderly need to break. Maybe we should house the elderly in your house. That should be the thing. Here's a new, here's an idea. Why don't we start a program where people, you know, a young couple wants to start a family, but they can't afford a home. And these elderly people,
Starting point is 00:32:03 were bastards to their children as they often are. And so you basically adopt an old person, you take care of them. You wipe their ass. Look, I've wiped elderly, not living, but when I worked at the morning, I've done, I had to clean.
Starting point is 00:32:16 You get used to it. If you don't, I mean, that's just, you know, you wipe a baby's ass. If you're a parent, why not the other way out?
Starting point is 00:32:23 You know, it's fine. Some people think that's weird of me. You can kind of, you know, you can compartmentalize like that. Well, just,
Starting point is 00:32:31 you know, I mean, you wipe your own ass. And that's not, if you saw yourself, would you say, oh, I want to wipe that ass? No, but you'd do it. It just happens to be attached to you. So, you know, just think of it that way. That's how you get closer to Christ or whatever you're into.
Starting point is 00:32:47 But, you know, I know Christ would like that if you thought that way. The organization also provides certain financial services to the individual institutional Catholic market. It's wholly owned insurance company, a Fortune Thousand Company. It seems like a good thing. See, yeah, you basically be quite. We'll call the Knights of, uh, more with that,
Starting point is 00:33:06 enough of the Knights. I just like, I'd love to be, I love to have a sword. I know, I know at church they would have these guys and they would, you know, with these nights of Columbus,
Starting point is 00:33:14 they would commonly have these big hats and sword, the sabers. People need more pageantry in their lives. They need to be filled, right? I've always said people should have more hobbies. Yeah, if you don't want to do charity,
Starting point is 00:33:26 then build a goddamn ship in a boat. What do you want me to do? I mean, you know, they're gonna, you want to keep your expensive hobbies going you know you're you know you're not going you're not going to be able to afford a plasma TV once you know once uh these oil prices what you what you do you make OLED TVs out of I don't know I'm assuming oil I'm assuming
Starting point is 00:33:48 most things are made out plastic and which is oil the price of everything is going to go up I've been saying that for a while and it's probably going to be true soon so how about you start getting used to not having things and it's a kind of a way of like getting ripping these houses out from under the the fingernails of these boomers you know um so we don't have to work out i'm not saying you scam them but you know you get in there and like i if i'm an elderly person my parents my kids aren't taking care of me and someone decides they want to start spooning me at night not sexually i might be is this is fine like i mean well you deserve the money enough it is like oh you know i deserve my bloodline money oh i you know
Starting point is 00:34:34 my dad did this so i deserve you know the you don't deserve nothing no one should inherit anything inheritance has done nothing good for anybody you know you should inherit you should inherit you should inherit you should inherit diabetes because all you that's all that's all that's that god sees it you know just be of service to the elderly and and and and the homeless and uh and these random you know, babies, I guess. I guess there's a lot of babies and hospitals. I don't understand. Are there babies in hospitals?
Starting point is 00:35:05 They're all orphans? I guess so. No one's holding them. Who's giving birth to them? Are they getting abandoned? It just seems odd. Are the mothers just kind of not into it? Like, I thought I wanted a kid, but he was, you know, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Defense Secretary Pete Hacks that have testified before the Senate, Tuesday, to make a case for President Trump's $87.6 billion dollar supplemental funding request. the wars cost 37.5 billion so far I mean where's this money coming from I thought the whole thing was we're gonna cut funding uh and we're just
Starting point is 00:35:38 this is 100 billion to do what to make the they're spending 100 billion to make the prices go up it doesn't I mean it's just it doesn't it's they're ruining the economy you're paying for the economy to get ruined you're paying for the lettuce to get covered in shit apparently
Starting point is 00:35:58 whatever's going on you they'll give you no quarter they're not going to be happy until you you're just eating dirt you're eating sand and piss you know i'm just saying we you know you need to make your own uh way in this world right your own kind of happiness if that involves you know uh again i this you there needs to be oversight you can't we can't have people spawning elderly people at will, right? First of all, they have to ask. I don't think it should be allowed, honestly. I think the fact that I was like, you know, open-minded was like, but it seemed odd.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I think I deserve credit for being like, you know, because I don't want to do it. And I probably would have before the, you know, anything went down. I probably would have said, like, is this illegal? Like, is this, I mean, we're not legal, but like a liability issue. What if I, like, break their arm? Some old woman, again, and this is a misunderstanding. Apparently babies need to be cuddled. But you can't even have to.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Like also you know my point is though but you should be more inclined everyone's so like I don't like to taste of this I don't like their way you know I have chippedophobia I don't like seeing holes I mean I mean the iPhone remember when the iPhone had the three lenses and people got like fucking freaked that I don't mean like holes in a body like maybe maybe that's like a spider thing people just there's to there too uh they let they let their their they're like kind of uh Piccadillos get the better of them. You know, we're not going to war enough. I don't want to go to war. I don't want you to go to war. But, you know, we should have a fucking thing
Starting point is 00:37:39 where we just go and like, you know, we build a house of the Amish. Why don't we do that for each other? Let's start a thing. All the guys who don't have houses. Let's start our thing where we learn to build a house together. That could be nice, right?
Starting point is 00:37:54 That can be a nice fucking thing. we know it's like if I have that for humanity that's great but I don't have a house you don't have a house like you know why didn't Jimmy Carter ever build one for what's he in Sudan you know in Sri Lanka how about you come here you build me a house oh we're gonna build it I don't know why don't you come to the bank Jimmy Carter did he die he did die finally right never built me a house so yeah what you want to meet what you want from me this is a good man there's a good man you know you don't care about Americans though
Starting point is 00:38:27 I suppose I could have bought my own house at some point if I did the right thing but you know who does the right thing anymore they'll be a house and I'll build you a house and there'll be shitty houses what happened to shanty houses why do we don't let have shady villages every other country has shanty villages
Starting point is 00:38:44 you can make stuff out of like you know sheet metal and like you know corrugated cardboard we don't need much I watched a movie where like Spencer Tracy was like a hobo living in a shanty and it seemed nice and he got like robbed you like i mean he died at the end right spoiler alert i didn't tell you the name of the movie but he tried to rob like a a children's toy factory they worked at and he got shot by the old security guard or something
Starting point is 00:39:14 so i'm not sure what the moral of that is and how it translates to us but i'm just saying you know there's like a way to be a person very enjoyable time out there is what I'm saying we can do a lot there's a lot to be done if you're just willing to kind of grab life by the horns and make the best of it this is it man's castle the 1933 pre-co yeah I saw it on this criterion channel well-dressed bill takes so he's yeah he would he would gay this is the thing he lived the shanty in like the middle of I don't know something like is a central park somewhere and he would go out dressed in like a suit and like scam women as fancy restaurants and it's kind of inspiring like you know why
Starting point is 00:40:03 what's keeping you from doing that you're everyone can afford it that's the thing suits that were kind of out of style that they've done that on purpose you know why because suits you know any man looks okay in a suit and yeah like yeah like you know a real rich person can tell a difference between like you know a you know savi little row suit and whatever shit you buy the men's warehouse but it was kind of flattening on society, and that was no good. Now it's like, you know, it's much easier to tell people apart from a distance
Starting point is 00:40:34 based on their casual wear, even though, like, you know, you would think like your, you're no fear hoodie blends in with the, the Prada hoodie. It doesn't. They can tell easier. That's why you're wearing what you're wearing
Starting point is 00:40:45 and not wearing suits. Because that was too much. Everyone looked respectable. They want you to be, they want you to be grist for the mill. You should be able to go out you shouldn't have to like you know worry about like these apps with these women now i'm not the tape brothers were doing it wrong they should have been telling you just get a suit don't don't want
Starting point is 00:41:04 the kickbox women don't care if you can kickbox i'll tell you i'll tell you that straight up women don't give a shit if you can kickbox now everything's about getting women i get that not everything's about you know what women want i'm just saying it ain't you know they kind of here's a thing you think that's another that's another that's another scam in my opinion not just the tates but this whole idea that you should learn more it's the nice thing to do but here's what it does it builds resentment because it takes a lot of work
Starting point is 00:41:34 it's something you should be proud of but society's not going to reward you for no one going to fight there's really very little practical places for you to actually use that and a lot of the times if you do fight a guy and win you go to jail not every time but you're like you're going to become a warrior too
Starting point is 00:41:53 you spent five years, seven years getting a black belt, then you can go three years going to law school. You know when you're allowed to fight back or not staying your ground? It just seems like a lot of stress.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Right? And it builds resentment because these guys who perfect their bodies and perfect their reflexes. And then people don't really view them in the way with the esteem except for the people in their dojo.
Starting point is 00:42:19 They get a chip on their shoulder. I get it. I would too. If I put that, much work in and no one gave her shit it's annoying but that they keep trying to tell you to do that right not not today why don't you just get a nice suit and not like fucking trying to like pretend you're a fucking just just buy people champagne i don't know that's what this guy did i mean i'm realizing the limits of my own advice here but it seems like that's maybe maybe just be an affable rich person
Starting point is 00:42:53 You know, that's the thing. So when people scam, they're always trying to, like, and get people to invest in their companies. You just go out and you buy people drinks and they buy you drinks. And maybe you play some cards. We need third spaces in this country.
Starting point is 00:43:07 They always talk about that. It doesn't get talked about enough, though. There's no third spaces or third place. What's the thing? It's like a pub, right? Or like a cricket court. There's nowhere for people to go. You used to be watching anything about bowling alleys.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Apparently bowling alleys are all being consolidated and turns into layers. for rich people. We need to learn to bowl again. You know, when people bowl, they talk to each other
Starting point is 00:43:29 and you can form unions and form groups. This is the kind of thing that networks we need to build. We need to build each other houses, bowling each other's teams. These are the dog days of summer. It's a mess out there.
Starting point is 00:43:50 It's brutal. Here's my advice. You know, they keep saying Gen Z doesn't have sex. I don't know if that's true. I mean, who's doing these studies, by the way? Gen Z doesn't have sex anymore. I don't know. I mean, what kind of creep is, who's coming up with this? I think they're trying to convince people to stop having sex or stuff having kids, they don't have having houses. Maybe it's true, but it's also like, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:15 the whole thing just does seem like a hassle. Just give people confidence. Go out, learn to paint gondoms, learn to do semaphore flags. I don't know. Like, just have hobbies that aren't. Do gardening. We can't garden if you don't have a house. Good point. Make models. Learn to carve wood. How about we all do that? How about we all go and all? How about we carve wood with the elderly? Enough spooning
Starting point is 00:44:42 the elderly. No one wants that. Carve wood with them. How about you go out and go, hey, what would you like? A spoon? And you're whittle in front of them. And you tell them about your day. They tell you about the war. I'm just trying to come up with solutions for you people. Because it's just, yeah, we need
Starting point is 00:44:57 we need a compass, a moral compass in this country. I think it involves carving, whittling for the elderly. That's the best I got. What's the best we're going to get? Do something for an old person this week. We'll come up with a better solution. Maybe take their picture. Here's a nice charity.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I was a photographer. How about we do glamour shots for the elderly? That could be a nice thing. But we go around, you know, it's never been easy. easier to do photography really i mean i'm telling you i know i'm not in the business person anymore but he thinks it's never been cheaper it's why a lot of people have actually you know used to do for a living got out of it because it was the competition but that means that everyone can most people can get within reach you get a little lighting you go you go you go find a
Starting point is 00:45:52 old person you make them look not you do you learn how to do a little makeup you make them look nice tar them up old guy give him some confidence back just because you know you can't afford the house doesn't mean these people should rotten us I mean maybe some of them should maybe we should find first the first step we should find out what these people did we need to do investigate you know what everyone's investigating everyone right everyone's data data mining everyone how about we find out first what the who's a bad old person who's a good old person you know if this guy molested his kids I don't want to help him but you know if he's just some guy who like you know you know his kids are freaking you know
Starting point is 00:46:32 they're just coke heads and they don't come around you know maybe we'll go to his house and we'll gussy him up we'll take a nice pick him some suspenders get a picture of them this can make it feel good and then you do that and then you get some confidence and you don't have to spend six years learning how to do a fucking weird naked choke like an asshole I'm not saying you know it's nice I'd love to lower your fight better don't get me wrong but I just know as soon as I did I guarantee you If I get in shape and spend six years learning how to fucking fight with my bare hands, the moment I try to use it, I'll be the fucking scum of the earth. They'll put me in a fucking cage.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I just know it. Been around his earth way too long. I know it's what they'll do. I don't care what Joe Rogan says. He's, I get it. He likes the pot and he likes to fight. He's a one of one.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Or maybe, maybe there's a few other guys like. him most guys who like to fight uh aren't chill right it's just it's we're not become warrior monks if I learned to fight I want to hit
Starting point is 00:47:42 people maybe I have the wrong idea maybe I should learn to fight maybe I'll get that out of my system I just know I'm a negative person I don't talking about helping people but I know the moment I learned to fight I'll be in a fucking cage I don't want to be in a cage
Starting point is 00:47:59 I want to help people I want to help the elderly. Come on, but let's look into this, all right. I think we've gotten a nice, nice ideas. But we talked about the ship, right? The boat, let's hope these people are okay. You know, for the top of the show, my age poorly, it might turn out, I'm totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:48:24 You know what? Whatever. I'm sick at being the only person who cares about that. Have a good night. Thanks for tuning in. See you soon. Thank you.
