Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh, God damn it. What? Dinosaur kingdoms closed for the season. We're recording. Yes. The pain in his voice when he said, God damn, it was so real. Some people wake up.
Starting point is 00:02:00 up in the morning worried about how they're going to feed their family. Billy wakes up. It's like, son of a bitch. Dinosaur kingdom. It's too cold for the dinoes. They're not alive.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Seriously, why don't we build Jurassic Park? I've only had maybe two really solid ideas, I think, in my entire life. One would be Titanic 2, building Titanic 2. The second probably um
Starting point is 00:02:31 Jurassic Park too well no that's this is my third great idea is Jurassic Park too I'm trying to think of my second good idea literally literally the only might just be the one the only reason why is because beyond having an amusement park and content creation
Starting point is 00:02:47 it is not profitable enough for capital allocation that's the only reason literally that's the only reason why it hasn't happened not the dinosaur part no the science could be done then fucking do it we will like for example when we make a clip out of this right now Avery
Starting point is 00:03:04 hey Elon Musk you raggedy bitch Make Jurassic Park too We could quit sending rockets to your girlfriend's house She's not gonna fuck you Make Jurassic Park 2 bitch Fuck you We could actually make the giant frog though That was the closest thing we could probably do
Starting point is 00:03:20 For 10K to Josiah Like I literally almost set it up on this show You're trying to pivot us to big frogs Big set of Jurassic Park. That's not what I want. I want to park the most cost. We don't want close enough. We want the real thing.
Starting point is 00:03:34 But the cost effectiveness of, he said, $10,000. Why do you claim to know the cost of running a dinosaur park? Because imagine other theme parks like Disney World. Let's say that the best we could do was Disney World and profit margins. That still wouldn't be enough money to justify investing millions of dollars into dinosaur re you're telling me that the amount of money that Disney World makes in a year is not enough not enough Disney World the actual park like you take yeah yes we're talking about the top I'm gonna tell you right now how to make this park Disney World made 9.5 billion dollars in
Starting point is 00:04:17 2015 pretty good not enough wait wait wait wait all right Billy Disney the world world the theme park well let's talk about Disneyland okay so now we're doing let's let's Let's talk about Six Flags Great Adventure when I'm just saying like like realistically that would be but the every personal lives would go like it would become the number one amusement part easily. And you don't need to put that much there, right? Think of a thing. Think of an island. What island? Long Island.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Just evacuate Long Island. Release the dinosaurs there and then just do helicopter tours around it. Disney World accounts for, or Disney Parks account for half of the company's overall revenue. It's about $7 billion a year. Okay, so that's a lot different than the number you said before. They made nine and a half in 2015. So $7 billion, let's say that's the max like profit. It's not.
Starting point is 00:05:14 We know it's not. Because I just told you it's not. On average, they're making about $7 billion a year. Right. So let's say that for this dinosaur park we opened, that's like the high end of, Okay. It's going to be novel. It's probably not going to hit $7 billion in the first year.
Starting point is 00:05:28 They're all novel. It's an amusement. That's the whole point. I know. But like once you see it once, it's not like Disneyland where you go back. I would argue live dinosaurs are more enticing to go back than Disney World. But the thing is it's going to take years to actually get real like you're just hating on the idea of Jurassic Park. You're like, you're like, why would we spend a billion dollars to make clones of every cool dinosaur that every kid in America would want to see when.
Starting point is 00:05:54 And we can just give me personally $10,000 so I can make my frog. I think it would like, think about it, me with a giant frog would be a much better allocation of $10,000. Well, what's your, what's your profit gains off this frog? Look, it's actually would probably make the most profits for barstool sports. So through content creation, I'd have a podcast with the frog. You limit your losses to only $10,000. Josiah said for $10,000, he'd make us a super.
Starting point is 00:06:24 frog. How much does it cost to feed this frog? Probably only about so probably it would cost a lot. Here comes an absolute guess. No, no. Anacondas eat about a couple of like large rats a month. I'd predict when I had a large African bullfrog I'd feed it about a mouse a week. So we probably could get like a large lab size rat a week would probably be the justification. And it would probably end up being around $20 a month. Would he want to come live in my apartment and just eat my mice? Yeah, me too. No.
Starting point is 00:07:05 In the terrarium, electrical costs would be another spacing issue. There would be probably rent involved. In the frog? Yeah, the frog would need a large half of that. You're going to make the frog pay rent? Well, I'm going to have a Twitch, like we'd live stream the feedings. That would be one of the first ways for it to get. Which would certainly not allow that.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Well, I'll make my own... My own Twins, right? So there's $750,000... Wait, $750,000 to fund the creation of a streaming platform for Billy. No, no, no, no. In which he's allowed to show his... Dude, they got a... What's...
Starting point is 00:07:39 Telegram? What's the one that's uncensored? Big T. Is it telegram? Parlor. Parlor. Parlor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Our getter, right? What's like an uncensored Twitch that we can live stream anything? Pornhub? Well, yeah, we'll put the frog on porn hub. or only fans yeah we'll stream from there get uns like chat roulette serious violence we'll see this frog tear apart this 10,000 dollar frog was just staring at you gigantic and it would pay for itself probably within the first month would you get the profit gain or no we we I have to pay back my investors we get Josiah back on the pod why not just make Jurassic Park too because
Starting point is 00:08:24 the money is not there. You do not know that. You pointed to zero proof that there's no money. Yeah. What about just like group funding? If the money was there, some hedge fund would have allocated the funds already. Or they understand that like dinosaurs may not be like the number one priority right now. No, they literally invest in anything if it's like profitable.
Starting point is 00:08:46 They want short term profits. Like remember, Jewel, Jewel is getting money out to a zoo. Jewel like the nicotine? Yeah. Honestly, they should make those legal again. because the alternatives are like literally we took like cigarettes apple computer like slim like the Tesla of e-cigarettes like super like and then we literally replace them with junk which is probably way worse for you because they made the good ones illegal how you seen some of the shit these robot these these these these kids are smoked like some of them look disgusting and they're probably like febrees mixed with god knows what that everyone's in hand That's true. Jewel was slim.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It was a science. It was also extremely addictive. Yeah, but Jewel wasn't invented by like Philip Morris or anyone like that, right? Yeah, but they're like their own company. They should have acquired. Yeah, I think if I was Philip Morris, I would have acquired them. No. I think they were, I think they probably thought it was just cheaper to, to get them out of the paint and create their own thing.
Starting point is 00:09:49 It's owned by, it was owned by Altria or Altria, the, well, yeah, they bought. it that's when they got a ton of money yeah but like the kids the the middle schools are still ripping vapes yeah like it's it's now they're ripping just worse vapes they're probably in probably cigarettes instead of you sound like every local news anchor like your kids are huffing this common well i would you know how everyone talks about how euphoria is in a realistic uh high school uh picture of high school but like like there's a midway point and it's kids ripping vapes in the bathroom for like five dollars a hit yeah that's real vapes weren't a thing when we were in high school though right no yes they were they were yes it was insane yeah that's when
Starting point is 00:10:36 like me and big cats started dueling heavy back in 2016 as a prank and then we got really addicted to it you were in you were still in high school yeah i was literally ripping blue vapes on the way to school yep listening a part of my tape sorry sorry it was so addictive like i'm never, I have never been addicted to anything as hard as I was addicted to vaping. It was like first thing in the morning. What do you do? You roll over. You hit, you hit the jewel.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah. It was, it's super addicting. They literally made digital cigarettes and everyone was like, why is it so addictive? It's super healthy, right? Yeah. I literally started, I literally, the only time I had a jewel was to quit dipping. And then I got addicted to vaping trying to quit dipping. So then you, didn't you eat a.
Starting point is 00:11:23 cigarette to get off of that? Or swallow dip? I swallowed dip. So then I went back to dip and swallowed the dip. And now I'm good. That was, I was, I was literally like 17 year old like kicking the nicotine habit. That was, that's probably the easiest age to kick it, honestly. Yeah. Hey.
Starting point is 00:11:46 That was a big burden. I got off it by switching, slowly transitioning to analog cigarettes, real stuff. and then I quit the cigarettes. You seem like you'd hand roll American spirits. Don't say that to me. Why would you, no, I'm not that guy that pulls up at a bar and pulls out his giant sack of, you know, swag tobacco and then makes everybody wait for 20 minutes
Starting point is 00:12:09 while he rolls a cigarette. Oh, that guy never takes that long. Everybody thinks it's weed, but then you just disappoint. Well, that guy usually also is only rolling splits. Yeah, I do. I love the smell of pipe tobacco. I really do. Same.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But I'm not like a loose-leaf tobacco guy. Red fan was dope. A good pipe guy. I went out to dinner with Large on Friday night. And Large is a guy that if every restaurant that you walk to, so we started out at at a bar, then we went from the bar to a restaurant. Then we went from the restaurant to another bar. Anytime you make a transition between two different buildings, large pulls out a new cigar.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And he's like, here you go. You want to smoke a cigar? on the walk. It's like, okay, he must roll around with like 30 cigars. He's just handing him out like he just had a baby. Like left and right. Here, have a star. You have a cigar. I love the guy. It was a fantastic night, but the man comes prepared.
Starting point is 00:13:06 There's nothing like an 80s Wall Street guy. Yeah. True of nothing. Yeah, and that he is. Big time. I'll bet you Wall Street in the 80s would have financed Jurassic Park too. Not this new, this new pussy Wall Street.
Starting point is 00:13:21 It's like, oh, we want to mitigate risk and we want to look, we want to invest in the digital future. And we want to, we'll make Jurassic Part 2 if it's in the metaverse. Literally, yeah, the metaverse. No one wants the metaverse, but there is money in the metaverse. And we are going to get thrown into the metaverse, whether we like it or not by these giant companies. I think that that American capitalism went downhill when the Titans of Industry stopped openly doing cocaine. That's where we lost our way. So back in the 80s, when every, when all the traders on Wall Street. We're just like pouring a little out. They got their spoons out on the floor,
Starting point is 00:13:58 really going for it. That's when we had our best ideas as a country. Now we're not in ideas country anymore. We're an execution country. We're all the other countries where their better drugs are coming up with the ideas. And then we're just following up with it. China is essentially putting out a blueprint and saying, hey, here's what we're going to do. And then our guys are like, yeah, whatever you say, we'll do it. We need to get back into the era where we're doing drugs and thinking of fucked up ways to make money. Would you say that cocaine is how we won the Cold War? Yeah, sure. Definitely helped.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Yeah, Russia's. I got a run to do a dozen. I'll be back in like 40 minutes. Okay. This sounds like some America first rhetoric from you. Is that America first? No, it's cocaine first. Sounds like it.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Well, you're like, oh, we need to stop taking ideas from all these other countries. Get back to what makes us us. The only Columbia that I want represented in our White House is the district of Columbia, not the nation. But I do, we should grow our cocaine here is what I'm getting at. I've always wondered that how come how come Columbia grows all the
Starting point is 00:14:57 all the cocoa well it doesn't it's Peru Peru and Perry why yeah how come well Columbia also has
Starting point is 00:15:02 well Colombia a fair amount of them but Columbia controls yeah but you're right there's a lot that's growing in like Bolivia
Starting point is 00:15:08 yeah I want to see but how come what climate do we need is there any part of the United States that would be conducive
Starting point is 00:15:15 to growing our own cocoa plant because if so if we could take control of that part of the drug trade legalize cocaine here we get rid of all the
Starting point is 00:15:26 fentanyl deaths that are happening all the accidental stuff feel like that would be well that's the thing the fentanyl really fucked it up yeah so grow it grow it grow it here make it here
Starting point is 00:15:37 well we'd have to legalize it to regulate it yeah that's what I'm saying legalize it but I think it's a little too dangerous yeah it's a little too dangerous people should be allowed to take cocaine in small amounts and I'm saying this not as a drug guy I'm saying this like cocaine if you used to be in Coca-Cola you used to get prescribed
Starting point is 00:15:56 you used to get prescribed cocaine for a toothache you know again 150 years ago small amounts of cocaine but like did you did you ever hear any bad stories from back then yeah everybody in the that's why we stopped it might as well have been legal in the 18 or excuse me in the 1980s too because that's everybody was doing cocaine in the 80s it was it was all over the place. Why were the 80s so crazy? Well, because neon colors.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Neon colors were invented and then people lost their minds and had to do drugs to cope with it. So it was the perfect time in society where there wasn't any outside threats and secular action could be totally withheld and uphold. Didn't the cold roar end of the 80s?
Starting point is 00:16:44 I'm trying to still think about what Billy just said. I am too. It was the only time in history We could take secular actions. So the thing about Rome, right? Okay. And like about the best time in Rome was about like 30 years before the fall where everything was nuts. So that's like the 80s.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Are you saying we're about to fall? Well, we're about to go to. You're, Billy's doing like a retroactive take of saying. So like hard times made good. And the 80s was just the good times made by hard men. I would say that like the 60s were like the boomers when they were coming up and they were they were doing all the woodstocks. That was the soft times made by hard men. But we and then the 80s.
Starting point is 00:17:33 But the 80s I'd say are good times. No, the 80s were a lot of soft men running around the 80s. Because there is no war? Because there was no. Yeah. So the Joe Rogan quadrant of Tibetan wisdom is hard times make hard men. Hard men make for soft times. Soft times make for soft men.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Soft men make for hard times. Which is just like something very... And that was the 80s? It's just something very convenient to say because a lot of times people like to feel like they're the only masculine person that exists right now. And so it's... Hell yeah, brother.
Starting point is 00:18:08 This happens every generation. I don't know why people don't ever pick up on this. Every generation looks at the generations coming after them and they're like, these kids are a bunch of soft assholes in my day. whatever happened to the masculine man that used to run around forging out victories for himself and not depending on the state. Like literally every generation says this about people beneath you.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Fact is your parents said the same thing about you. Fact is their parents said the same thing about them. It's just something that happens when you get older is you look down on the generation that's after you and you're like, oh, the world's going to hell. But how's it different when I look at like middle schoolers and high schoolers nowadays and they literally don't go outside? That's okay.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Okay, so first of all, that's not true. They don't go outside. I've seen several. They play Minecraft. I've seen several. Billy, that's exactly what people say about people our age. I know, but they lit like kids don't even like sports. I think we're making really broad general agents now.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I'm going to sound like a, what's his face? A boomer. No, Kirk Herbstree. Yeah, yes. Kids, but like that is true. Back in my day, we loved football. Now they just play it. We, yeah, we go out.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Sounds good when Big T says it. That's a banger of a quote. I mean, that's basically what he said. Now they just play. They don't love football enough. Billy, kids do play football. Kids do play sports. They go outside.
Starting point is 00:19:31 But they don't have, they do other things for fun. That's an extracurricular. So did you? Right. You were growing up. Did you play Call of Duty? No. I didn't play.
Starting point is 00:19:42 The only video game I played really hard was when I had a knee surgery. I played Skyrim. But like video games were a thing when we were young. I only played video games when I got surgery on my knee from playing football too hard. Yeah, Billy, I mean, it's very easy to look at the kids that are younger than you. Like, I could look at your generation and say the same thing. Yeah, do you, do you hate us? Billy's generation doesn't play sports.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Did you know that? No. Billy's generation lives inside. All they care about is the internet and their little podcasts and their weblogs that they write. They don't care about going outside And the sun Touch grass, Billy Love a good web log
Starting point is 00:20:21 This generation can't even deal with I don't know Is it Say it Common gold Huh? Oh come on Bill Common cold
Starting point is 00:20:32 I thought you said common goals Yeah it took me a second to figure out I'm joking This is partly satirical Also Kids like kids that are growing up right now It's not their fault Of any of the restrictions
Starting point is 00:20:45 That are being put in place on them imagine like in the past two years it'd be pretty tough for a kid that's in elementary middle school to not get really into video games because you couldn't play sports outside for a while you know you're you're not allowed to have close contact with a lot of people your age to play sports depending on what part of the country you're in
Starting point is 00:21:04 you probably haven't some of them haven't been able to go out and do like an actual season of regular sports true so yeah it's it's one of these common things that people do all the time where they're like, oh, the younger generation soft. I'm the real masculine man. Why can't people be more like the idea that I wish that I was? Like Joe Rogan sometimes thinks that he, like, he's, he's a caveman.
Starting point is 00:21:29 He thinks he's like, he's going, you know what he's doing? He's going back to monkey. Return to monk. Return to monk. Like the liver king. That post that he had was all time when he said one thing I've been doing a lot of recently is I've been, I've been really treating myself to huge meals going out. outside, smelling the meat, getting the fire really, really hot, putting the meat on the fire
Starting point is 00:21:52 and smelling all the burning of the fat, just enjoying the aromas, getting really hungry and eating. It's like, dude, you are talking about eating. Like, this is a process of eating. Grilly. But yeah, he likes to think that he's, he's a caveman. He's the only masculine person out there. And I'm not picking on Joe because I think Joe is just like, it's natural. But I, I've started to do some simulated hunts. Successful hunts. yeah yeah how do you do that well i get my dog and then you you send mincy running down the street and then you then you stick your dog on him it's look we put treats in mincy's back pocket it works for everybody he needs to lose weight and when you get his adrenaline higher so yes i
Starting point is 00:22:34 release my dog on mincy to chase him but i'm close behind my dog yeah you can give the the go around you can give the command to stop yeah so i have no it's actually awesome me my dog's gotten really good at running beside me and like we actually been doing like two mile three mile runs and i don't know if it's like people are like oh you shouldn't take your dog for long runs but he loves it and we just vibe it's good it's good to know and i listen to mongolian metal music it's pretty freaking awesome mongolian music is cool in general the hun the who the who h u that's an awesome we'll totem, just Google it. I'm telling you, this is like some crazy. Have I talked about this
Starting point is 00:23:22 before? I think you might have. Yeah. I've been getting into microtonal music when I want to like really amp myself up for a workout where, so on a guitar and on a piano, that's probably the easiest way to think about it. On a piano, all the white keys are representative of notes that are in a C scale. And the black keys are like the sharps and the flats. So if you're looking at a music scale and the notes that you're looking at are C, D, E, right in a row. C, D, E. There are notes that are in between the C, D, E.
Starting point is 00:24:02 There's C, C sharp. I probably just did the full step there. But they're broken down in like C, C, C, sharp D. but there are actually notes that are even in between the C and the C sharp. And when you play them together, it, like, it sends a weird signal to your brain that either it can induce feelings of anxiety. It can induce feelings of, like, getting really amped up. It can actually, like, put you in different.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Binearal beats. Have you heard of binary? Binearal beats? Yeah. And when I was studying, I'd always put on these bineural beats that help you focus and get in the flow state, which is pretty. pretty insane, but they also have a bunch of ones for working out for sleep and supposed to like get your brain waves synced up. I don't know the exact science behind it, but the
Starting point is 00:24:50 placebo is pretty cool. And I always did help me get into the flow state. I would say like right now, we're in the flow state. We're just flowing. I had an idea for a segment that we should do on this show. Let me know what you guys think about it. It's just called, remember that? That's the name of the segment where you just remember something from a couple years ago that you haven't thought for a while. That's a good segment. Stuff that we don't talk about or not. Like the Scholastic Book Fair.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Remember that? Yeah. Goated. Yeah. Goated. Absolutely goaded. What else? You had $7 at the Scholastic Book Fair.
Starting point is 00:25:20 You were king. Digimon. Yeah. I'm not familiar with Digimon. If it's like Pokemon, but off brand. Yeah. That's something from the past. Tomagotchi.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yeah. Tomagach. Yeah. The virtual pet. You see, we're young enough that everything that's remember that is like child. childish yeah so you don't have any memories of like remember that but it's well i i it's you as an adult i remember when anderson cooper was a war journalist that was a remember that yeah we never strapped up remember when haroldo rera got like kicked out of iraq because
Starting point is 00:26:01 he went on live tv and gave coordinates for the troops that he was covering that was that was that was wild yeah that was a wild time a arian you with us Oh, you're muted Okay All right Are you should be able to hear me now? Gotcha What's up Aaron?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Nice shirt Okay Okay, perfect Yeah, the shirt is definitely cracking What's good with y'all, man? Man, my shit is all fucked up, man Mac is superior to Windows
Starting point is 00:26:31 Like Windows you have to update drivers and all this And I don't know shit about it And so my, like nothing was reading My camera Very confusing times But we had it, baby All right. I love it. Yeah, Macs are so much easier to use. I know a lot of people that are real computer guys that swear by using PCs. But it's like if you are a casual computer user, then it's definitely Mac all day.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah. Mac is good for like, yeah, like you can say casual computer users. But like PC is better for like gaming or if you're like in the coding or shit like that. But I'm not. So why I'm in the gaming. That's why I'm in the gaming. That's why I'm, been using my gaming laptop but anyway man this shit is too complicated for me do you have any member that's i've got i've got another member that that i was thinking of over the weekend uh the alaska air flight from like 2017 where this like 22 year old maintenance worker just straight up got in the cockpit and then took off in a big passenger plane and just did like barrel rolls all over Seattle and the entire town was going on i do not remember that i saw that on was under-reported on. Yeah, well, no, it was big for like a day.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And then people just forgot about it. This dude, he was a maintenance worker. He was 22. I think his name was Rusty. And he just decided one day, you know what? I'm going to fly this plane. And he got into the cockpit, as it was about to board. So there was nobody else on board, just Rusty.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And then he just took off and started doing barrel rolls and shit and pulling off all these crazy maneuvers. And he was like talking to air traffic control. and they were like, hey, can we get you to land this plane somewhere? And he was like, I don't know. Landing wasn't really part of my equation when I decided to take off. He was like, I play a lot of video games, so I'm pretty good at this whole flight thing. And he was pulling off some crazy maneuver.
Starting point is 00:28:24 He did this one, like, giant 360 loop-to-loop. And when he pulled up at the bottom of it, he was 30 feet off the ground, off the water that he was flying over. in a giant fucking passenger airplane well the video games are too realistic yeah that's how we learned how to do it is through there's flight simulators tons of people with flight simulators yeah then he crashed onto an island you and i had a member that the other day you remember what that was remember that you and i were talking about some on friday that we're like remember that that that uh wasn't wasn't reported on very much after it happened what was it i forget the nashville bombing yeah that's true remember the nashville bombing that they said the guy just oh he just killed himself like he
Starting point is 00:29:05 He was kind of a weird The guy after the election No, well Yeah Well it was Christmas So I guess it was like a month After the election But it was in front of the
Starting point is 00:29:15 AT&T building Yeah because it was also connected To the he It was like the stop the steel type shit He was definitely He was definitely into weird internet Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:27 Uh Sources of information The machines He was obsessed with the machines He was a QAnon guy He was like he thought They hacked The voting machines.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I think he was just, yeah, he was definitely radicalized by the internet. But no, we didn't really hear being Big T. We're talking about it. We haven't heard much about him after the fact and what he was going for. There's a lot like that. But I think, I think that's one of the- Ilion Gonzalez. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Remember I Leon? Elion or I remember that. I mean, how old was he like? I think 12, maybe. I was around that age, too, honestly. So I just remember hearing the hoop. he's probably about our age yeah who is that you don't know elion no so he was a Cuban boy I think he was like 10 or so at the time yeah something like that and he he came over on a raft
Starting point is 00:30:19 from Cuba he defected to the United States and I think his family was on the raft with him and I might be making this part up I'm not 100% sure I think he had a family member that died on the way over to the United States so the raft so he was actually saved by dolphins really yeah so he got he ended up coming to shore in the united states on this raft from cuba found his family in the miami area i believe and uh cuba demanded that he be returned to cuba because that's where the majority of his family was from and he had like some distant cousins in the united states that i don't know if he had even met before but um there was like a big standoff where his family was trying to keep him in the united states and then his Cuban family and the
Starting point is 00:31:03 Cuban government wanted them back, the government conducted a raid. They broke into the apartment with like assault weapons, grabbed them and then sent them back home to Cuba. And it was like a big thing. People were like, I thought we didn't do that. The Clinton administration decided that it was appropriate. Janet Reno decided that he should go back to Cuba. And so they, yeah, no, they broke into the apartment with straight up a SWAT team. Yeah, I'm looking at pictures. It was pretty It was pretty fucked up. It was just like a kid that was hiding. They knew where he was.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I mean, this picture is insane. I thought our policy was like, if you got here from Cuba, like, you're good. We might have changed that by now. But for whatever reason, it was a big international, it was a big to-do back in the 90s. So now he's like, he's a huge pro-Cuba guy. So they got to him? Yeah, he's like, he's now uses a. spokesperson. He's a puppet
Starting point is 00:32:05 now. Well, maybe he just What do you mean he's pro-Cuba? What does that mean? A Cuban boy who caused diplomatic Roe is now a young man. He is grown up now, almost an adult, but there's no mistaking the face of Elion Gonzalez. The 16-year-old youth in an olive green military school uniform has not changed
Starting point is 00:32:21 so much from the boy who a decade ago was the subject of a diplomatic battle between the Cuba and the U.S. So he's attending a young communist union Congress at a convention center in West Havana last weekend. images were posted on government websites yesterday, then widely transmitted by state-controlled media.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Fire. Well, he's, you can tell that he had no choice, but, uh, I thought that, I thought we, we normalized relations with Cuba. I thought that was one thing that Obama did that he said he was going to do. Because Jay-Z went there. Yeah, they're all good. We have diplomatic relations. With Cuba now.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I know they took off the embargo, if I'm not, if I'm not mistaken, because I know that's why Cuban cigars were so, like, taboo. And everybody thought if it was a Cuban cigar, it was better. No, it was illegal because they had embargoes here. We put some bargos on them. And so, you know, I'm not 100% familiar with it. But from my understanding, I believe that's what, what you said is accurate. Like, Obama was trying to smooth relations out.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Like, he even got chastised for saying, they have better health care and a better education system. I know I know there are, aren't they pushing to be a state or are they? Cuba? I think it's like, it's like split, isn't it? I don't know enough about it. Cuba wants to be part of the United States? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Oh, no, I'm thinking Puerto Rico. Yeah. Don't, don't, don't, no, no, no, I'm tripping. Yeah, we had the discussion of what states would you eliminate. if you wanted to say that's right well i think havana syndrome really messed up was actually a lot more damaging for u.s cuban relations than we want to admit but they said it wasn't real right just recently after biden gave how many millions of dollars to the people that supposedly suffered from well actually by Biden like personally walked up to him was like hey i heard that you got a
Starting point is 00:34:25 head well it was part of his 150 his plan no but havana syndrome was i i don't think it's a political issue. I think it's actually better for these people to think it never existed and it doesn't exist because it actually will help. I was reading, when we talked about Ivana syndrome, people who think there's something wrong with their brain get to
Starting point is 00:34:44 spiral. Like something's wrong with my brain. So if it's like nothing's wrong, it'll actually help them heal. The defense spending bill that Biden signed included $30 million for victims of Favana syndrome. Okay. What do you think we should have done about that big G?
Starting point is 00:35:03 I don't know. I just find it curious that after that, then we're like, oh, yeah, it wasn't really. I thought at the time it was bullshit that he was, that we're allocating money where it's like that we don't even know that this is a thing. Right. And research. Yeah. To research, I guess to research it, that would be useful. The way that people were talking about like Havana's nervous, I feel like how people talk about like mental health originally.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Like it's not real? It's like, it's not real. Like, what? Like, these people are phonies. We need to, we need to, uh, normalize the conversation around Havana syndrome. Yeah, because you have people. Havana syndrome awareness tweets on Sunday. Oh, so I lied.
Starting point is 00:35:39 So Obama lacks the restrictions. Trump put them back on and Joe Biden promises to get rid of them, promised to get rid of them. But they were never totally, uh, ended. All right. It was in the sanctions. See, I would like to go visit Cuba. I think that would be a fun place to go. Remember Coney 2012?
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah. That was a big one. Oh, yeah. No, that was especially hit home because my best friend in the whole world, who was a brilliant, brilliant mind. He grew up in that era. He grew up in Uganda. And so he grew up underneath that dictatorship. And some of family members were killed.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And his father got political asylum in the U.S. Damn. It was wild. He was wild hearing some of the stories and some of the shit that he had to go through. The child soldiers and stuff? Mm-hmm. No, like, I know he's like, I ain't going to tell a too personal story, but he has very real effects of what he went through.
Starting point is 00:36:42 But he's one of the most kindest loving human beings of love of me, just brilliant mind. There was a rumor last year that, that Coney died from COVID. Yeah, I don't know if it's true or not. Said the same thing about John Cena. They did say the same thing. We don't joke about that. Yeah. No, but the original, I don't know, what happened with Coney, of course, is real on the ground in Uganda, is 100% real.
Starting point is 00:37:09 But the guy who ran the Coney 2012 thing, he, I don't know what exactly happened. He had a mental break, like run around naked. Yeah, he had a schizophrenic break or a psychological break of some sort. In downtown Austin, I think. Was it in Austin? I thought it was in San Diego. I think he was running around on the street. streets naked maybe even jacking off like trying to jack off while he ran down the street
Starting point is 00:37:33 san diego police detained and naked russell for a psychiatric evaluation after he allegedly vandalized cars and made sexual gestures after removing his underwear during a public breakdown that was filmed and released online ow you think you'd be able to jack off running like while running we talked about this on anus that one time did we yeah about the fart about long jumping oh yeah yeah if it gives you a boost
Starting point is 00:38:01 yeah I think you could no I don't think actually I don't think you could check off while running yeah
Starting point is 00:38:08 no maybe a light jog couldn't you do it like pumping your arms or is that well yeah the motion you can do the motion
Starting point is 00:38:16 I'm talking about the the physical response well this is devolved I don't think you can maintain a boner and bust while running
Starting point is 00:38:28 I mean blood flow would be increased to other areas so I don't know it's so really it would get redirected right and intriguing question was Viagra use
Starting point is 00:38:43 as a performance enhancing drug not like an official one but popular amongst the NFL remember I knew a couple of dudes that tried it I didn't see any increase in their performance But I know a couple of dudes.
Starting point is 00:38:57 You know what it is, Ritalin. Yeah. Ritalin is like a super hyper, like, it's a limitless pill, low key. Seattle. I never, I never tried it because I have atrial fibrillation. And so I'm scared of like any stimulant that, you know, that's not I'm unaware of. And so, but I know dudes who have taken it and say that this shit, it changes the way you do things. Yeah
Starting point is 00:39:25 Cedarol Yeah The Legion of Boom They were using They were using Adderall And Viagra I think I think it was
Starting point is 00:39:32 On the cocktail And then the Red Sox I didn't even think about that When I The 2004 Red Sox were also
Starting point is 00:39:40 Doing Viagra That's funny as fuck Yeah Who on the Red Sox I think Pedro Martinez was putting Viagra
Starting point is 00:39:49 They were like During this booze mixture That had Viagra And I think Greenies And I'm, hell yeah. As he told Seth Myers,
Starting point is 00:39:57 many Ramirez used to spike the 2004 Red Sox booze with Viagra. Like three 100 milligram pills of it in a bottle of, quote, Mama Wana. No idea with that. BED should absolutely be legal. They should absolutely be a thousand percent legal. Like, it's the dumbest shit in the worst like this in. You think in every sport?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Every sport. Okay, yeah. Dope the fuck up as much as you. You want to dope up, though. What about fight sports? That's all that, man. But what if guys are, like, dying because they're so jacked and getting hit? That's the sport, bro.
Starting point is 00:40:34 You act like, people won't watch it more. Like, I won't watch it, but, like, people that love the blood sports, they're going to love that shit. Like, why wouldn't you? I feel like you want your athletes at the top of their top. Like, do it. The thing is, like, I tend to agree for the most part that if players are informed about what they're using, then they should be able to make their own choices. but if there's like brand new stuff that's coming out that they're using their own bodies as scientific experiments
Starting point is 00:41:00 and they can be causing long long term damage to their internal organs or their brain by taking things that aren't proven that's that's a problem though isn't no no whole sport is taking internal damage to the brain football hockey any box that's the whole sport that's all right i get okay so i don't care i i get that but it but if a guy let's say like a 23-year-old linebacker right out of college like shoots himself up with what he thinks is some sort of new steroid concoction that he got from a lab and then he immediately goes into
Starting point is 00:41:33 Oregon failure and dies and it's that shit would suck. That would suck. I think you're like I think we have a difference of a well we have I think we have a difference to put in like the morality of it we're trying to distinguish right like I don't think
Starting point is 00:41:48 and like I just don't think inherently like a lot of these violent sports are moral in general right But, like, we're just used to them. And so my thing is, if you're going to do it, then do it. But, like, we like to draw these arbitrary lines of, like, what moral and what is and what isn't moral? None of it's moral. Like, we literally just, like, we fuck our bodies up and our minds for the longevity.
Starting point is 00:42:09 But we're okay with a certain amount, but not okay with what we're not comfortable with. Well, we're only not comfortable with it because, like I said, they're arbitrary lines we're drawn. There's no distinct. Like, it's either we don't do it or we're not going to do it. That's my opinion. anyway. One last member of that. Remember the movie Ready Player 1? It's set
Starting point is 00:42:27 in 2045. I'll actually watch it over the weekend. You watched it? No. You motherfucker. What a good. God dear, the pump thing. That's fucked up. I was planning on watching. I really was. But then Friday night I had a big dinner and I came home and I fell asleep. And then Saturday, there was football. Sunday, there was football. I don't have time. Now you actually have to.
Starting point is 00:42:51 to watch it. You saw how happy he was. I know. I got to watch. Aaron, did you watch any of the football this weekend? I did watch football this weekend. She was weird, man. What games did you watch?
Starting point is 00:43:02 I watched the first half the Rams game and the first half of the Bucks game. Same game. Those were the same one. Oh, no, okay, not the Bucs game then. Niners, Niners.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Yeah. I get those college race up too. The Niners and the, And then there was one more I watched. It was the last game. Bill's Cheap's. Bill's Cheap. I did watch that game.
Starting point is 00:43:28 That was a crazy ending of that game. I was definitely playing Valorne while it was on, but I was definitely on in the background. What are your thoughts on NFL overtime rules? I've always thought it was trash. It's the dumbest shit in the world. So stupid. College is supreme. Well, so no, but you know now they fucked up college too.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Because now what are they doing? So now, so the first overtime is the way it used to be from the, 25. Second one, you have to go for two. And then the third one, they just start doing alternating two-point conversions. So, like, Illinois- I don't mind going for two-shed. Yeah, no, I don't know. But like, not, it's just, it's plays from the three-yard line. Like, that's it. Oh, it's just two-point conversions. Yes. No, that's dumb. So, like, Illinois and Penn State went to nine over-times this year, just trading two-point conversions. That has to be a business decision, like, for time constraints. Well, so a few years ago, it was Texas A&M.
Starting point is 00:44:21 in LSU played a seven overtime game that ended 74, 72, and it was awesome, and everyone loved it, and they were like, yeah, we can't have this again. How late that game end? It was a night game. It ended very late. Yeah. All motherfuckers making rules never have any kind of logic behind
Starting point is 00:44:37 that shit. And it's usually, well, it's usually type of money. Somehow somebody's type of money. And they don't give a fuck about. Well, fans want, they don't get fuck about what was good for players. They just care about their bread. Well, the whole thing with this was player safety, quote-unquote, but like, you are no, I, the, the frequency with which those games occur is not worth changing the rule to potentially like, what if that happens in a national championship game and you've just got teams going for two?
Starting point is 00:45:03 Didn't they take, if I'm, it could be remember incorrectly, but didn't they, they take players trying to unionize and get workers' comp to the Supreme Court? they definitely took it to court it may have gone to the Supreme Court yeah I don't give a fuck about play of safety exactly this is whack fuck out of here
Starting point is 00:45:25 should be like NHL 3 on 3 overtime but NFL like there's a receiver quarterback 7 on 7 drills you know what's interesting about the NFL overtime rule the whole thing is like oh if you do the college overtime rule it doesn't value the defense but then it means that if the defense
Starting point is 00:45:43 makes the stop on that first drive, they technically should win the game and the coin toss. You know what I'm saying? So for example, if the bills last night had stopped the chiefs, then the bills should have won the game even though they didn't score any points. That's what the current overtime rules applies. No, because then what you're saying is a defensive stop is the equivalent to a touchdown, which would be, because if you go by that logic, then every defensive stop, you should get points for it. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. I want college in the NFL to both adopt a universal overtime you start at your own 40 each team gets the ball for basically college
Starting point is 00:46:20 rules but you start at your own 40 you get a chance to score if you don't score the other team gets a chance no matter what and then if it's still tied you go the 50 if it's tied after that you move to the plus 40 and keep going in and then on the rare occasion the game does go that long now you're only going from the 10 yard line I don't mind that I hate it you can because because that also like when Tennessee got fucked in the music city ball on a call the other team starts in field goal range so like your defense doesn't even have a chance to to like save the game for you whereas if they're starting at the 40 you have a chance to get a stop i just like the idea of playing one more quarter i'm down with that too play another quarter 15 minutes just go
Starting point is 00:47:02 and that if it's still tied guess what another quarter i saw one idea today both teams start at the plus 45 back to back and whoever scores first wins yeah like a shootout i think think they have all the whole squad both teams offenses and defenses on the field at the same time going opposite directions i i think two balls i think that's yes they're playing separate games yeah i think that's what our idea was for um for the xFL and we're coming up with ideas for the xFL back in like 2019 we had an idea that's actually what they should that was that was like a shootout but i think ours was from was it from the 10 and it was like alternating plays see who scores.
Starting point is 00:47:45 If you tie, guess what? Back to the 10-yard line for both teams, alternating plays. That'd be so fun, wouldn't it? Also,
Starting point is 00:47:54 the idea that both quarterbacks should get to touch the ball, I understand it, but I'm also finding myself being sucked more and more into the whole,
Starting point is 00:48:03 like, defense is part of the game, too. Maybe I'm just getting older. Why shouldn't the other team's defense have to be part of the game? Why shouldn't the chief's defense have to be part of the game?
Starting point is 00:48:11 Because the coin told us otherwise. Okay. So, so it all comes back to a coin. Yeah, well, Josh Allen was the best quarterback in terms of calling coin flips of any quarterback all season long. I think it was undefeated against the coin. Returns the regression.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah, the regression. What we needed, and this is not even from a Falcons fan, but as someone who wants to see the overtime rules change, we needed the Falcons to beat the Patriots in overtime in the Super Bowl, and the rules would have been changed that off season. Immediately, yep. Yeah. If it happens to. The crazy thing is, if it happens to.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Brady Mahomes or I would say like Rogers Well see like last night They were both so good That it doesn't matter Whoever it happened to
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah You need you would have needed a team Like the Falcons To beat the Patriots And overtime In a playoff game I think why I don't Why I don't give a fuck about it like that
Starting point is 00:49:02 Like I do think that The NFL old time rules are shit But like the reason why I wouldn't Like complain about them or anything Is because Gary Kubiak was my coach and he just had some of the realest approach to the way he did things
Starting point is 00:49:18 and one of them was I don't give a fuck what the rules are. The rules are the same for both of us and we got to play by these rules these are the rules and if you win you win if you lose you lose and we're going to do everything we can to win. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:49:30 There is no unfair advantages. These are the rules. Stick by them. Let's fucking go. I used to love that shit because it was like because like one time I think it was the NFL lockout
Starting point is 00:49:40 when we couldn't be there for the off season. He just gathered everybody and said, it is what it is. Let's fucking go. We're strapping up with who we got and what we're going. I'm like, I just love that mentality of like,
Starting point is 00:49:51 fuck it, let's go. I used to love that shit. But I understand people planning on. We're going to jump into Tesla here in a second, but before we do, Bird Dogs. Bird Dogs is back. I love Bird Dogs.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I know much to you guys, but they sent us a new shipment of their gear. Bird Dogs is the best product in the entire world. If you love shorts like I do, and I'm a man who loves shorts, bird dogs is must have. Bird dogs has changed the game when it comes to shorts.

Starting point is 00:51:58 Check them out. Birddogs.com promo code dose. All right, let's talk about Tesla. Let's talk about Nikolai Tesla. Was he Serbian, Billy? We need to establish that right off the bat because Billy said in the group chat that he was Serbian, I read some things that might dispute this nation of origin.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I'm here in Croatia. Yeah, I mean, that whole place is such a mess. No offense. Disrespectful to the Balkans. Well, I'm actually, my grandmother was something around there. She doesn't even know. So I can say that. Billy can't be racist against the Balkan.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Some of his, some of his favorite grandparents were served. Exactly. A black friend. Yeah. Oh, by the way, I heard a rumor today that Darren Ravelle was actually bidding on a Malcolm X. Fedora that he was trying to buy that. Somebody said that he was, yeah. Hey, you dumb, bro.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I'm not making it up. I don't believe that shit, no. Marshall Newhouse said it. Friend of the program. Marshall Newhouse said it. Send it to the chat. I don't believe that shit, man. Let me look.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Let me look it up because he might have been joking but he said like Darren Revelle is bidding on a Malcolm X Fodora but yeah Tesla so let's talk about Tesla
Starting point is 00:53:14 don't know why oh no Marshall says he's currently bidding on a Malcolm on Malcolm X's Fodora what else would he bid on it might be a joke anyways
Starting point is 00:53:26 Tesla so Billy talk to me about Tesla because we all know the car company right the car company that we discussed a little bit last week. They've got the most confusing door handles in the game. That's really what I know them for. There are two things.
Starting point is 00:53:41 It's impossible to find the door handle to get in or out on your first drive with Tesla. And two, there's basically an iPad that's in the car. Your car has a computer on it. So besides that, don't know that much about Tesla, the brand. But I do know that they got their name from an old inventor, Nikolai Tesla. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurists best known to his contributions to design of the modern alternating current electrical supply system. So yeah, a lot of people you hear about Nikola, does anybody else have any information on Nikola Tesla before we begin?
Starting point is 00:54:24 Like, what's everyone's first? I just learned about him for this. I didn't know that Nicola Tessa was a person until like a year ago. So I knew about him in that he was always compared to Thomas Edison. And a lot of people feel like he got a raw deal like Thomas Edison was stealing his shit. I think that he got a raw deal. And so that's what I had heard about him. That he was an inventor, but he had some personal demons that he was battling.
Starting point is 00:54:52 And so because of that and some bad luck, he's not as well known as Thomas Edison became known. And so that's why, partially why they named the company after him. And a lot of people, a lot of like modern day inventors and scientists have a lot of respect for Nikola Tesla. That's my background on the guy coming into today. Mine was like, I knew he was like a brilliant scientist for his study of electricity and electromagnetism. What really captivated me was when I really went down that flat earth rabbit hole, they fucking. love Tesla and I always kind of wondered why and it's because they don't think gravity is a thing and they think that most things that can be described for gravity, they chalk it up to
Starting point is 00:55:43 electromagnetism. Okay. It was interesting how they made a lot of their claims. Obviously they made a lot of leaps and jumps, but yeah, but what he did was brilliant as fucking. He got fucked over by, I think it was Rockafers. fellow and Edison. So wait, back up for a second, when you're talking about electromagnetism, people who are
Starting point is 00:56:06 flat earthers, they don't believe in gravity. They think that there's like a magnet that's underneath the soil of the earth that's pulling people down? No, they, there's, I mean, there's different beliefs, but the basis of it is they don't think gravity is a thing. They think a lot of the effects of gravity are different physical effects, and one of them is electromagnetism. They believe that electromagnetism is like the key to us understanding how the earth orbits everything. I can't explain it. I can't explain it
Starting point is 00:56:41 because they can't explain it. It makes no sense. But that's what they believe. So Tesla, I know that he died here in New York, and he died pretty poor, right? He just feeding birds, feeding birds, surrounded by his pigeons. And I feel like anybody, that dies with their pigeons anyone that just has an active interest in pigeons to me I always feel like they're probably a genius that's something that smart people love to do is just like
Starting point is 00:57:08 raise pigeons right fly pigeon Mike Tyson so the lady at uh the lady on home alone lady on home alone there you go um what's that movie ghost legend of the same ghost dog legend of the samurai I think Riz had directed it
Starting point is 00:57:24 Forrest Whitaker I think is like a samurai never seen it it's a good movie anyways he raised pigeons but there's something if i see somebody that raises pigeons i'm always intrigued by that person there's always something going on now Tesla the big the big thing with edison versus Tesla was that Edison developed the direct current electrical power system while Tesla had the alternate alternating current which we now used today and he originally invented it we just recently repurposed it what's the difference between the AC and the DC which by the way that's where
Starting point is 00:58:00 ACDC got their name alternating current direct current electricity fun fact well Billy's looking up there's probably it's probably a boring differential to me it has to do with switching the AC switches back and forth
Starting point is 00:58:15 in regular intervals where all is DC is electrical current which flows consistently in one direction DC DC flows from like A to B and it only goes in one direction and then AC changes periodically based on whatever. Okay, so they both had, they both like figured out competing methods of electricity.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Yeah, basically. So if that's true, if he was like a pioneer in the field of electricity and he was like, you know, instrumental in getting lights in every building, we don't really respect the people that discovered electricity enough in the society. I think we should do that more often Like electricity is Probably the most important thing that we use Addison basically like took from a small man in Tesla
Starting point is 00:59:03 And like ponded off as his own idea Also he was like an immigrant So you could see that playing too So let's back it up let's back it up a little bit So Tesla he was born in Serbia or Croatia Depending on which website that you're reading Montenegro Montenegro and he had some demons right
Starting point is 00:59:20 Like he was he was a gambler he was uh he had some vices that he was dealing with so um how did how did tesla get started how did he break into life as a uh as a scientist well his mother okay wait one second his mom here comes some truth there was a study hey cully what do you know about nicola well he so he he actually he actually he drew up plays in the dirt like a like a quarterback he um one at one point he was walking through a park in budapest and he just had a vision and uh he took a stick out and he drew a diagram in the dirt he drew a motor that was using rotating magnetic fields with alternating currents um when
Starting point is 01:00:17 alternating currents were not a thing whatsoever so he just he invented it in a park because of a vision that he had at one point, which that, I might have to call Cap on that. It might be something, this is a really nice story for him to tell people, but like for the first time he thought of it when he was walking in a park, you thought of the alternating current,
Starting point is 01:00:37 or like, do you think about this in a lab? And then one day in the park he pretended to think about it so he could impress his friend. It sounded like the Newton Apple story. I think over time, shit like that grows, the folklore. Yeah, it is a better story. But then he sailed to New York City in 1884. They say that, like, he arrived with four cents in his pocket.
Starting point is 01:01:01 You hear that about everybody that, like, came to the United States with $2 to their name, and that's it. Is that, I feel like those are also exaggerated at times, too. Like, what can, what could you get in 1884 with four cents? Do you have enough to buy, like, your meal, your first meal? I can get a meal. I can get a meal with four cents back to you. And then what you did? I mean, I mean, I remember in the sixth.
Starting point is 01:01:23 60s, in the 50s and 60s, my mom and dad used to be like, so the pop was five cents. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. And so you go back even further than that. Yeah, you could probably get got it. You probably got you a nice little, maybe a loaf of bread maybe. Was it really four cents? They said.
Starting point is 01:01:42 They said four cents. Yeah, well, that's worth a dollar 14 today with inflation. All right. So you get. Oh, maybe not to. You go to McDonald's, you get a McDouble. Yeah. That's about exactly.
Starting point is 01:01:52 You get a meal. You get a meal, yeah. And then what? What's your next move? If you have four cents, you get to the United States in 1884, you get a meal. Like you don't know nobody. There's no internet. You got a, you got a, you got to, you got to, what?
Starting point is 01:02:04 That's, that's tough. I think the first thing you do is you just, you just get exploited by somebody. There's definitely, there's definitely people that are walking around the harbors that are looking for new immigrants to exploit them in some manner. That's probably the first thing that happens to most people. what they did with the Irish and the Civil War. He just got them right off the boats. Yeah. There's probably like an entire, like, field of, of business just set up around, okay,
Starting point is 01:02:34 let's get all these immigrants that work for nothing for us. We'll put them in a tenement and they'll have to be happy when they get there. But so, yeah, he got to the U.S. in 1884 and then, so how did he start working for Thomas Edison? because I've heard that he was recommended from Charles Batchelor, who he used to work for over in the old country. Charles Batchelor who knew Thomas Edison. So Tesla originally had a job in Paris in 1882, where he got to after avoiding serving the Austrian Empire's army, after escaping to the mountains and pretending to be. be a hunter. So he'd actually worked at the Continental Edison Company in Paris. So when he got to the United States, he was recommended on his way over. So even though he had four cents in his pocket,
Starting point is 01:03:33 he did know he had a place to go at the end of it. So this is where it gets a little bit fucked up because he did find somebody who was ready to exploit him. It just so happens that that person was Thomas Edison The Wizard of Minlo Park Thomas Edison You may recognize that name from a gas station that's on the New Jersey Turnpike
Starting point is 01:03:59 About 10 minutes outside of New York City Now fun fact Who attached keys to kites And try to get electrocuted by lightning Wasn't that Ben Franklin? Yeah Yeah You thought was Thomas Edison
Starting point is 01:04:13 No but a lot of people Mix those people up Okay it was not I don't know I think I think Edison might have recreated that he covered it
Starting point is 01:04:25 he did a cover experiment he covered he covered so he he found his exploiter and that was Thomas Edison and when he started working for Edison Edison said
Starting point is 01:04:37 I'll give you 50 grand if you can improve my direct current invention that I'm using in my motors and so a couple months later Tesla shows up at Edison's desk and he's like guess what boss you'll be 50 grand
Starting point is 01:04:55 and Tesla said when you become a full-fledged American you will appreciate an American joke and didn't pay him didn't pay up so Tesla said fuck you I quit and then he started digging ditches respect and a lot of people just use the whole
Starting point is 01:05:13 like a ditch digger thing as like, you know, the world needs ditch diggers too. I don't think that we actually do need people to go out and actually dig ditches anymore by hand. But back then, that was like a big, big industry was getting into the ditch digging profession. Well, because think about it, sewage, pipes, and even like back then they were doing the telegram lines
Starting point is 01:05:39 that needed to be buried, they actually stopped digging ditches because they put up electrical poles. Oh, shit. So think about it. Because back then, the electrical lines weren't reliable enough to keep underground. Then it was too much work to dig them up
Starting point is 01:05:55 because there wasn't enough ditch diggers. So it was better just to have them up already. But now people argue that they should be back in the ground. Polls, yeah, the big pole industry ruined the ditch digging profession. Although that must be a tough job if you're just given a shovel and just go out there. every day, 10 hours a day, and start digging. But that's what, that's what Tesla decided to do when Edison wouldn't pay up. He had a bunch of, Tesla had a bunch of inventions.
Starting point is 01:06:24 He also wrote out a whole, I think he actually patented a design for a flying saucer using anti-gravity, which I think he's also used in the flat earth through theories quite a bit. He invented a flying saucer? Yeah. Did it work? Well, that's a big, that's a big part of having a flying saucer is it's got. got to fly. Hold on, man.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I'm calling a cap on that way. He invented the flying saucer. Like, that shit's been around since the biblical days. Like, Ezekiel's will for years, for thousands of years, it was thought to be like a saucer. Well, he might not have invented the concept of a flying saucer, but I think what Billy's saying is that he designed a flying saucer. Yeah. Oh, he could potentially fly. Okay, I got you.
Starting point is 01:07:07 But if it did, if it never actually took off, then I'd say that that a lot of it was conceptual. that's what intrigues me about that whole uh bob lazar thing is is his description of the technology the alien technology as he purports it to be um he purports it to be a machine that creates its own gravitational pull and so and so the the theory behind it is by the saucer or whatever the machine creates gravity and like warps the space around it and it kind of traverses the space around it by bending space which is fucking fascinating I got caught by a hoax there we go there we go Billy I got caught by a hoax Nikola Tesla never made a flying saucer okay thank you for admitting all right so Bill
Starting point is 01:08:07 okay sorry I did research no I'm saying is anybody out for research saying thank you for acknowledging that you got got off. I know, but I'm so, Billy, you know what you have to do now, right? Yes, I will start. Okay. Wait.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Come on, Billy. We're all waiting. Wait, I actually might be right. No, see, this is where he gets in trouble because now he's going to have to apologize again. God damn. No one Snopes. All right, Billy, stop.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Just give up. I let this one go. What the fuck? Let this one go. You almost had a big fit. and being the first one to discover that the Tesla invented UFOs. But it's not, it's not meant to be this time. Just let it go.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Do your thing. Do your announcement. It's okay. He's on the fence. He doesn't want to, he doesn't want to commit. Billy, let it go. I'm telling you. Let me just look at one.
Starting point is 01:08:59 No, Billy. He said, let me just look at one more thing. Tesla received his last patent for a biplane designed a vertical takeoff and landing, which gradually tilted through manipulation of the elevator devices in a flight until it was flying like conventional plane. Tesla thought the plane, okay, so he did have a flying machine that he designed, and it resembles the V-22 Osprey used by the U.S. military. What I got got by was the patented designs were actually of this guy called Otis
Starting point is 01:09:38 T. Carr who built a design that said to belong to Nikola Tesla. So Otis T. Carr lied and said that the craft that he designed was designed
Starting point is 01:09:53 by Nikola Tesla. So Otis T. Carr is to blame. And he's a fraud. Did he invent the car? He should have. Did he maybe invented the elevator. Who the hell is Otis T. Carr?
Starting point is 01:10:11 Actually, no. The elevator is one of those things that Thomas Jefferson claims that he invented, which is complete bullshit. Let's listen. This is Otis T. Carr's the first line of his Wikipedia. It was just screams fraud. Otis T. Carr first emerged in the 1950s flying saucer scene in Baltimore and Maryland. A virgining scene. The scene. The flying saucer scene in Baltimore and
Starting point is 01:10:36 Maryland. Yeah, it's ground zero for just a lot of cool kids to hang out talking to UFOs. So he founded OTC Enterprise, the company that was supposed to advance and apply technology originally suggested by Nikola Tesla. The claim to be applying some of ideas of Tesla was quite common among explorers of the flyer saucer community in the 1950s. For example, George Van Tassel's Integraton was supposed to be partially based on unspecified lore from Tesla. Basically, a bunch of people took Tesla's works and just sort of made their own spin-off mythos. I wonder why.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I wonder why people saw him as being like a mark that you could take advantage of it. I think it's because he was alt. He was like alt science. You know what I'm saying? He wasn't in it for like the money. He was just in it for like the advancement of technology. So he wasn't like.
Starting point is 01:11:24 He wasn't a businessman. I think he had a bunch of abstract works. But like Edison probably was like this, you know, establishment science. And these guys were like, we want some alt science. We want some Nikola Tesla. We want some guys. who kind of went a little nuts and batty.
Starting point is 01:11:38 And I think a lot of his, some of his inventions that Nicola Tesla made had a lot of implied stuff that was conceptual and didn't actually make sense. So like you can design a whole time machine except like this little box where you turn the time back is in the center console and no one really actually knows what happens in that little box. But you designed the whole other parts of the vehicle correctly. So he also put up that giant tower in New York Because he was an ideas guy And he had this idea to connect every part of the United States Really the world by putting up a big tower And so he convinced J.P. Morgan to fund
Starting point is 01:12:21 So that was J.P. Moore, I said Rockingford for that. I meant J.P. Morse. I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, he convinced J.P. Morgan to fund a big-ass transmission tower That could be used to call up and talk to other people on the telephone And wasn't he trying to, I could be wrong, man. Wasn't he trying to like communicate or find some alien radio waves or some kind of, that's from my memory. I think he was trying to also detect some kind of alien presence, like radio waves or something, some kind of ways. But go ahead.
Starting point is 01:13:03 it sucks that he was just such a bad business guy it sounds like he was everything that i've read about him makes him seem like he was he was what we think of when we think of scientists you know just like a guy that loves to do experiments and to think abstractly and some of the other signs as we've kind of like speculated a little bit on the show
Starting point is 01:13:25 there are people that come up with cool ideas and then there are people that say them loudest that get all the credit for them i feel like that i do feel like after reading more about him, Tesla just kind of got boned. Well, he needed a backbone. He was kind of a, you can't let people walk all over you because word gets around town. So you let, you let Thomas Edison get away with Stiffing you for 50 grand. And next thing you know, the rest of the world is just stealing all your ideas
Starting point is 01:13:51 and you don't get the recognition that you deserve till, you know, long after you're dead. He was also a weirdo because he, like, he claims all these visions. and another vision that he claimed was that there was a white pigeon that used to come visit him like the same bird and the same bird would bring him good ideas whenever he saw it so he just kind of like to he liked to embellish things a little bit so one time he said that the white pigeon flew through his hotel window and the bird came to tell him that he was dying
Starting point is 01:14:26 and then the pigeon died in his arms And at that point, Tesla knew that his life's work was done and that he could die peacefully. Never found the pigeon, though. So probably made that part up. Yeah. Also, he invented that Tesla coil thing. Yeah. Do you guys know what that is?
Starting point is 01:14:47 Vagu familiar. They have a lot of science classrooms. You touch them and your hair goes up. Mm-hmm. Is that related to the giant ball that makes all the static? Yeah, I think that's what it is. It was used Tesla coils? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:00 I think it's something that's a little more looks cool than has any actual application. Mark Twain liked to mess around with it. Yeah. So Tesla actually did make the cover of Time Magazine, 1931. You know who else made the cover of Time magazine, by the way. Don't Trump. Each minute.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Yeah. Both correct. Both correct. The DFT was aiming a little higher on the evil scale. Didn't, it didn't, no, been, bin Laden did not make the cover. He made the cover when he got killed. Yeah, but he was not he was not person of the year. He got the big X because Hitler got the big X. Yeah. That was that's pretty that's that was pretty like alpha of time to put the big X on these guys. Bin Laden did not make
Starting point is 01:15:46 the cover. They said although the person the year award goes to the person that had the most impact on the world positive or negative this year we're not going to do. I think they gave it to to George W. Bush that year, I think. What, 2001? Yeah, I believe so. They just said, like... Didn't they give it a Giuliani? Oh, did they?
Starting point is 01:16:08 I thought they might have. He was American's mayor at that point. He was. It was, it was, wait, there's two. Oh, so he, so Bush got it 2000. Okay. Oh, one, Giuliani. Yeah, 0-1 was Giuliani.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Who's 0-2? Oh, oh, 2000. was GW person of the year 2002 was the whistleblowers who are a group of three women
Starting point is 01:16:41 that I have no idea what they did The Dixie Chicks It might have been Enron Who all You know who 99 was Who are these people Who is 99, Colin? Jeff Bezos
Starting point is 01:16:57 Oh shit, right? that feels way too early for him to be like bookstores were already a thing what was he doing in 99 Amazon was just starting to take off I feel like in 99 yeah that's what I feel like that Colleen Rowley of the FBI
Starting point is 01:17:13 Sharon Watkins of Enron Cynthia Cooper of WorldCom yeah so WorldCom and Enron Enron so Enron's I remember that yeah so wait are these people like these whistleblowers are they are they what are they Were they actually legit or were they like part of the people?
Starting point is 01:17:32 Who are these people? No, the people that blew the whistle on WorldCom and Enron were saying, hey, the company is committing massive, massive fraud. Oh. And so then they got investigated and both companies ended up collapsing and costing. So that's what it was about? Losing hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. Wait, wait, was what's her face?
Starting point is 01:17:51 So this lutes back to last show because Enron's vice president was what's her face is father? Elizabeth Holmes Yeah, Elizabeth Holmes' father was Enron's vice president Yeah So was Elizabeth Holmes ever A person of the year? No
Starting point is 01:18:07 No, I highly got that And then 2000 She was She was at like the time 100 most influential people But she was on Forbes But she had a fake time magazine With her face on it
Starting point is 01:18:19 I'm pretty sure Like for her own motivation That was Trump Trump had I think a fake time magazine Oh that was Trump Yeah That he hung up in his golf club Oh
Starting point is 01:18:29 so this is crazy uh 2005 good samaritans one time magazines person of the year you know who was on the cover to represent good samaritans was it that bitch fraud bono yeah oh well yeah yeah you're right and melinda gates my big my my my greatest enemy in the world why is bono i forgot you don't fucking bono yeah because bono hasn't done shit bono like he parachutes into to photo shoots once every five years he's like we've changed the world through music and it's like we've changed the world to music. And it's like, give me a fucking break, dude. He thinks that he cured AIDS. Bano actually
Starting point is 01:19:04 thinks that he cured AIDS. Can you prove he hasn't? I personally do not have AIDS right now, so maybe. But he also uploaded his entire fucking album. Bano 1, BFT.
Starting point is 01:19:19 He uploaded his entire album onto my iPod back in like 2008 without my permission. So that kind of balances it out. Yeah, you know, everyone who ends up on the cover of these magazines kind of... Is he part of you too?
Starting point is 01:19:33 Yeah. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, you too. Bono did grow up in a war zone though. I think that was like a collaboration between Apple and the U.S. government to prime people for shit that you just... We can just do it and you can't say anything about it.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yeah, no, that's an invasion of my liberty. You could draw a correlation between that U2 album and having to show an ID in a vaccine passport to go into a bar in New York City. There's a strong case to be made. First they came for my iPod and I said nothing. We almost with the whole pile without saying vaccine.
Starting point is 01:20:06 We almost did it. Time person in the year 2009, Bill Gates and Bono on the front with Melinda Gates. They were telling us. They were telling us the whole time. They're hiding in plain sight. I got to be convinced about this Bill Gates' evil thing, man. Because I got to get, I think being a billionaire on his face is kind of, a, you know, it's kind of, it's selfish.
Starting point is 01:20:30 But when I look into Bill Gates, dog, like, it does a lot of good shit. And I'm just like, I'm open to being convinced. Like, I'm open. Well, here's what people will say, because I've also looked into it. I think he's a nerd and he's selfish and he does not live his life the way that I would live my life. That's true for the other seven billion people.
Starting point is 01:20:55 And he also is involved with. whole Jeffrey Epstein thing too so he's probably a bad dude but in so we we do have evidence of that yeah but but in terms of him actively trying to kill off billions of people the people who are making that argument uh and trying to make it truthfully are either very misinformed or they're um or they're just like purposely lying about what his plans are to make it seem like he's evil because they just have an axe to grind against him personally. So I don't, he's, the only time that he's ever said anything about, like, depopulate the world or whatever, we've gotten into this actually on past podcast.
Starting point is 01:21:39 All those quotes are from him talking about how the world in certain countries is built to function optimally at certain levels of population, just like stating facts and stating, like, if the word, if we continue on this path of increasing. the population in developing nations year after year after year. There will be lots and lots of death because we won't have the resources to get everybody fed, medical supplies, clean water, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It's just common knowledge that declining birth rates are a sign of progress in any developing country. As countries develop, birth rate drops. That happens all across the board everywhere. If it doesn't happen, then that leads to very, very bad issues in terms of infrastructure and it will eventually lead to a lot of death
Starting point is 01:22:29 and famine and all that stuff. So I've looked at it a lot. I don't think that Bill Gates is like a fucking evil. So my billionaire says that I got to start reproducing because the birth rate's going way too low. Yeah, that's your billionaire. That's my billionaire. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:46 My billionaire, Mr. Musk, tells me that I got to, you know, get to reprim. Now, I'm just kidding. Get to fucking. That's what, that's the platform. But it's so funny that you have, two of these dudes and one's saying that, that another one's saying that we're going to have two little people.
Starting point is 01:23:02 Yeah. That's the thing with Elon Musk is he always looks like, he pretends to know exactly what the world's going to look like 75 years in the future. He knows exactly what it's going to be. But it's funny that we're choosing billionaires to listen to. Yeah. So, Aaron, New York Times reported that Bill Gates met with Jeffrey Epstein, many, many times, even knowing Jeffrey Epstein's past. And you can extrapolate that his wife did not
Starting point is 01:23:33 want Bill Gates hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. And Bill Gates continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein. Now, you can you can do the math and figure out maybe why his wife wouldn't want Bill Gates hanging out with Epstein. And you can also do the math on maybe why Bill Gates would want to continue hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein despite the fact that his wife asked him not to. So probably my official My official judgment on Bill Gates Nerd Definitely scumbag
Starting point is 01:24:02 Possibly pedophile Not evil underground villain Trying to destroy 4 billion people off the face of the earth All I'm saying is Melinda left him Yep I'm kind of team Melinda in all this Who's Melinda married now
Starting point is 01:24:22 another science teacher i don't know i uh i tried to hit on her right when she got divorced smart yeah yo melinda come on the podcast yeah melinda come on the podcast bunch of bunch of bachelors pf t should should should time magazine be canceled they've only the troops have only won two of these i saw that yet they gave it to the american soldier in 2003 people forget what a weird time that was in america where it's like if you weren't actively giving a hand job to a soldier every day day of the week, you were, you were pro-terrorism. It was really, really strange. It was like, it was so over the top. They've given it to the troops less times than they gave it to Stalin. That's sad. Do you know that you've won a Times Magazine?
Starting point is 01:25:06 Yes, I'm looking at the same list as you, Billy. Yeah, you've won. Yeah, you too. It's been too long since they gave it to us. And 2006, 2016, representing individual content creators on the World Wide Web. I feel like we're content creators are having a moment right now, aren't we? Yeah. We're doing something. Give it back to me. I want it. I want it more. Who's who's one? Probably Greta Thunberg is going to get it. She already want it. She's content creator too. Low key. I'm just saying that I think that was a Mickey Mouse year for Greta to win. It was like 2019. Like shouldn't have been like oh no, it was very. before what right no it was probably uh is there in a covid title yeah anthony fouchy retroactively
Starting point is 01:25:58 should have gotten it for 2019 for all his work developing the the coronavirus right yeah like that that's when he was putting the finishing touches that's when he was like just carving out the edges in the lab yeah we the Ebola fighters got it i'm not trying to uh the i'm just saying they played in a weaker era than the COVID fighters like they why the defense wasn't as stout yep big t do you think that why the fuck did Merkel get it you think that yeah that's a good question why that's another Mickey Mouse year what year was that 15 because she uh for recognized for her leadership in the Greek debt crisis and European migrant crisis I thought it was going to be a year or two later just because she hated Trump that's why they were going to give it to that Trump won at the next
Starting point is 01:26:47 year. Yeah. Yeah. But also Big T, like literally every other leader in the world. Now, without exception. Yeah, but she, but she made a show of it. She did. She did. Yeah, that was kind of her thing. And so. And so time. Yeah. Now, this is, this is. Okay. So. I'm trying to actually think of what, what, what foreign leaders liked Trump. Like openly said it. And to my no distance. I'm not lumping him in. But Kim Jong. Kim Jong-un loved him That's a dumb thing to say He loved them
Starting point is 01:27:21 They loved each other A lot of African leaders Thought it was dope Oh really? Yeah Source I'm gonna need a source I'm gonna need a source on that one
Starting point is 01:27:29 I remember I remember reading an article Putin loved him right No that's bad news What do you talk Putin loves Joe Biden saying We're not gonna do anything If they invade Ukraine
Starting point is 01:27:41 That's who he loves Okay that's yes probably The Israelis love Trump I remember that Oh yeah Netanyahu loved them, but now Netanyahu hates them. Can we take a second? And appreciate what would have happened if Donald Trump said what Joe Biden said,
Starting point is 01:27:56 that has barely been covered in the media. Yeah, dude, we're about to get drafted. Big T. How old are you, Big T, 24. Do you have flat feet? I don't know. I think they got over that. He's got, you got lightning quick reflexes, though.
Starting point is 01:28:10 I do. Army wants. Can't I get drafted now? Yeah. No. No, actually not yet. no you can't actually big tea there's there's like there's an open and honest discussion that we can have what is a bigger infringement of your personal liberty i look forward to this
Starting point is 01:28:30 question uh having to sign having to show a proof of vaccination before you go into a bar or being mandated to fill out a card when you turn 18 saying I will go fight in a whatever war you tell me to do. I am not pro either of those things. Okay. I am staunchly anti-both. Anti-draft.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Uh, yeah. Okay. I tend to agree with that. I mean, it's probably not a big surprise if you've ever heard me talk about anything. But like, I don't think that you should be able to, like, the biggest infringement of liberty that we could possibly have took place back in like the Vietnam era.
Starting point is 01:29:11 I agree with you. Just like, okay, you're going to go fight a war halfway around the world against poor farmers because some guy in a think tank in Washington, D.C. said that if Vietnam becomes a communist state, then the country next year, then Laos is going to become communist. Next thing you know, we're all going to be communists in the world. You're not going to find me lobbying for the draft. Yeah, okay. Well, you asked me the other week.
Starting point is 01:29:37 And so that just occurred to me. That's a pretty big one right there, too. I agree. Do we really think that Albert Einstein deserves a man of the century? Oh, yeah. He deserves more. You think so? Arian loves Albert Einstein.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Got a doubt. Do you like GPS, fan? Okay. Okay. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. I'll give him the century. You know what?
Starting point is 01:29:57 We need to just remind people of all the stuff that Albert Einstein did as it relates to our everyday life right now and the impact that he has. You're on computers. You like GPS. when you're setting your your distance parameters for those of you who are on tinder you would not be able to do that without albert einstein right i think i think there's one and this is just my opinion right i think there's one brain that could rival his relative to the time and that was newton but other than that i don't think there's anybody that was close to his brilliant as albert i was tesley are we putting is tesla anywhere up there you think
Starting point is 01:30:35 i don't he's up there he's up there he's up there he's up there there, but I really think there's a tier list. I think there's a tier list and it goes Albert Newton and then there's like, you know, and take a pick of other kind of scientists. But those two, I like, I just
Starting point is 01:30:51 find out, you'd have to convince me that those two have, have rivals intellectually. It was just, man, that shit is impressive, what they did. Okay. I want to just get back to Tesla again real quick because he had a, like he was a very, a weird guy. And I think probably a lot of that goes along with the fact that he was brilliant.
Starting point is 01:31:10 He was an inventor. He had his mind worked in different ways, but he had these things that he became obsessed with. His contributions, though, before you get into his quirks, his contributions were massive, too. Like, tele-wireless communication. Like, that's him. You know what I mean? Like, he pushed the boundaries of all of that. Like, he was brilliant in his own right.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Yeah, I feel like we probably glossed over that just a little bit when we jumped in the Time magazine thing. But he did get that tower built in New York City, which was the basis for why. wireless communications. So that's obviously, obviously massive. And he was, he was a visionary when it came to establishing that. Some of his quirks, he had to have 18 napkins on the table every time he would eat. 18 napkins. That was like a thing.
Starting point is 01:31:56 I'm not saying I'm brilliant at all. But that's the quirk that I have with napkins. I can't reuse the same napkin. Like, I have a napkin. I'll use it once and I'll throw it away. And then I'm not even OCD like that. It's just a weird little thing. Just like one side, then you can't use the other side?
Starting point is 01:32:12 Yeah, I don't know what I think I'm pretty normal. But I know I'm talking about the end of the dinner. I got like seven or eight dirty napkins. Oh, we're talking paper napkins or reuse paper. If it's cloth, if it's cloth, you know, I'll work around the edges and then get to the middle. But if I have options, it's, you know, it's no, I agree with that. Pump and pump and don't. Let's give, let's give a quick summation of what.
Starting point is 01:32:36 he actually, hang on. I'm not, I'm not done with his weird stuff yet. Okay. So he had to have a freak? He had to have 18 napines. I don't think he was a freak, but he had a violent aversion against the earrings of women. And if he saw a pearl on a woman, he would go crazy.
Starting point is 01:32:53 I mean, he's a freak. He hated him on bikes too. He hated jewelry. He hated earrings on women. I don't, just one of those things, I guess. He probably just had a bad experience when he was a child. He's probably a freak. Probably a freak. Yeah, so he invented the Tesla coil, the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls,
Starting point is 01:33:12 fluorescent light bulb, a magnifying transmitter, which would light bulbs half a mile away, remote control, the first x-ray image, but the work ended up in a fire, the radio, papers lost in a fire, Tesla and turbine, his favorite invention with 98% efficiency, intended for renewable sources of energy such as fluids, but still not commercially used, the induction motor for vacuums and blow dryers, and the radio-controlled boat that could sail without humans on it. He could steer it with radio signals. Can we go back a second?
Starting point is 01:33:41 You said this guy invented the radio, but they just conveniently lost all the things that proved that. Yeah, it burned down. A lot of... How do we know that? He applied for the patent, and then the building that all of the stuff was in burnt down before he could get the patent to go through.
Starting point is 01:34:00 So then Manicola, I think his name was. something like that whoever actually has the patent for the radio basically was like ha ha sucks to be you and took the patent
Starting point is 01:34:11 ran with it I think this guy I think back then there was a lot of people like thieving arson yeah because there was there was like
Starting point is 01:34:18 you could just burn shit and then there would be no trail of it yeah it was so easy to get away with crimes back then yeah
Starting point is 01:34:26 it's like that thing where it's like if you got caught for a crime before like 1960 you're an idiot and so Yes, exactly. There's a bunch of people that are making the claim that that actually Tesla was a much, much more brilliant mind than Edison. And you could make that claim because Edison, if Edison was good at something, it was he knew how to market himself. He was like a great, great promoter of his own brand. And Tesla was just in it just because he loved to do science and he loved inventions. And that sort of thing fascinated. But Edison had a really,
Starting point is 01:35:03 really good understanding of okay i've got i'll hire a bunch of smart people that work for me and then i'll have them help me with projects i'll use their ideas their intellectual property then i'm the one that gets to go to the patent office and say hey it's your boy t hey it's t e again got another banger for you and then he gets an immediate patent on it and so that's why he ended up with like a thousand patents and uh and tesla ended up with about 300 but tesla was all straight from his brain and had a whole staff of people that was helping him out. So he almost made Mark Twain poop his pants. Turns out they were pals.
Starting point is 01:35:42 Okay. Yeah, Twain and Tesla loved each other. The writer was fascinated with technology and often spent time in the scientists' lab. Tesla wanted to find the most efficient electricity, so he constructed a machine that simulated earthquakes. It was a high-frequency oscillator after every experiment. The machine would shake his building in Manhattan as well as the surrounding buildings. One day, Tesla invited Twain to his office.
Starting point is 01:36:03 writer was known to have digestive problems. Tesla asked Twain to stand in the middle of the oscillator when it was on. The writer managed to be there for as long as 90 seconds, but then he ran to the toilet. He hit him with a brown noise simulator. I think he literally just shook the shit out of him. How come we don't have
Starting point is 01:36:19 any of, uh, we don't have that invention nowadays? Just like something that you can make. I should, it's an oscillator. It's 2022. I should be able to like point my phone at somebody and make them crap themselves. I bet you the government's got that. Without out there can they probably do there's a there's probably like some sort of ray some sort of
Starting point is 01:36:37 energy ray that they can shoot imagine the power you would have if you can just excuse me make somebody poop themselves i feel like it'd be similar to the lasers that you have to use for your kidney stones yeah well no i don't have to use unfortunately oh but you know what i mean yeah if i had to like they just shake shake it out of you just vibrate until the the crystals dissolve or as billy actually correctly told me if you ride a roller coaster you can vibrate at just the right frequency to destroy your own kidney stones yeah he believed sex disturbs a man at his work i can't think of many great inventions behind which are married men facts really he said like if you get laid too much you won't be able to invent anything
Starting point is 01:37:21 yeah sounds like something like a big time verge would say like he was an insult 100 percent there we go new newton and hundred percent newton and test yeah this guy was well he was a ball cell voluntary how do you know that it was voluntary how do you know maybe he was an in cell but then he just he's he owned it and he was like you know what i've gone 35 years without getting laid i'm going to take ownership of this and i don't you know what i don't even want to have sex hmm yeah i seem like i mean do you think you would be fun at like kickback Tesla? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:59 No. No, I don't think so at all. I don't think he'd be cool to chill with. So you'd get a couple. I don't think he, no, I don't, I think he would probably look down on everybody that he was hanging out with. Like he couldn't have a conversation. He's, he's the guy that's in the corner of that meme. And he's like, they don't know I'm inventing.
Starting point is 01:38:19 They don't know I'm inventing an alternate current. They don't know my current's awesome. Yeah. I don't think that he I don't think he was a guy that would be much fun to hang out with maybe fun to like work with in lab because he had such a crazy crazy brain
Starting point is 01:38:37 but no not not fun to chill with. Yeah, the reasoning behind these behaviors remain amidst so he had a lot of weird stuff and everyone thought he had OCD that's what people... Probably. Yeah. They said he used to count his steps
Starting point is 01:38:52 everywhere he would go. Yeah. Which that's probably a sign of OCD. occasionally I'll do that though if I'm interested like how many steps is it but that might be maybe I have a I get a touch of that OCD is a weird one because a lot of the little things that happen to people that people associate like the super cleanliness and stuff actually for most people are the opposite once it progresses over a certain so like as children they'll be super neat and super freaked out about needs and stuff but then
Starting point is 01:39:27 they'll literally just go opposite once they get older because they can't handle they flip yeah all right uh anything else about nicola tesla he invented the cell phone the technology for a cell phone like a hundred years before yeah the wireless tower he actually like the statement he makes about them and explaining them is actually like dead fucking accurate what is you say um when wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted to a huge brain which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic hole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly
Starting point is 01:40:02 irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony, we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles. Wow. And the instruments through which we shall be able to do this will be amazingly simple compared with our present
Starting point is 01:40:18 telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket. Yeah, he said that these wireless telephones would be the size of his watch. Nailed it. and then the guys who screwed him out of millions and millions of dollars ended up paying his rent at the New Yorker hotel for the last nine years of his life because they felt bad. It was like,
Starting point is 01:40:36 their sympathy. They're like, sorry. That's right down the street. Is it the same one? I don't know. He was racking up the bill down there. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:40:43 I would be getting room service every night. Yeah, back in the day, I understand why they take credit so seriously nowadays because you could just run up tabs and walk out on them. Like Tesla did it for how many years? Nine. I don't get how permanent residents of a hotel work.
Starting point is 01:41:01 Do you just pay like a flat rate, like rent, basically? You can probably work it out for like month by month. Yeah. Get a better rate. Because I was going to say if you paid like, okay, that's a New Yorker, let's say, now, it's like $200 a night. That's a lot in rent. It is the same hotel, by the way. It was built in 1929.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Nice. I also didn't realize he died so recently. When did you die? 1945 pretty long ago very very recent but in terms of in my brain
Starting point is 01:41:32 this was I'm just I'm joking man no no no but in my in my brain he was like a early 1800s dude really
Starting point is 01:41:39 yeah I'm no one no one said I was smart about this but all right well shout out
Starting point is 01:41:46 that's crazy he believed in free electricity that's probably why I do too yeah but who makes it what does that mean free electricity I'm with that too
Starting point is 01:42:02 son also I can yeah tell you what let's just should we want to skip to voicemails yeah want to do some voicemails
Starting point is 01:42:12 do we talk about the actual conspil like I've been in and out and I apologize but did we talk about the FBI seizing most of his assets upon his death no let's go go off yeah yeah I mean it's
Starting point is 01:42:22 The conspiracy behind it was that he had the specs, I guess it would be called to building a powerful particle beam weapon known as the death ray, which during World War II, you could see why that would be raising some flags, especially since his, I believe it's his nephew, was a Serbian ambassador. And upon his death, Tesla's will gave all of his estate to this Serbian American. So the government thought that he might be playing both sides of the fence and that would take this potential death ray schematics over to the other side. But most of these, obviously the FBI picked him up and they were blacklisted. immediately you could not uh or classified rather um and most of the files were declassified in 2018 there was no death ray in there but i for sure i'm not going to be the guy who's like yeah the government definitely declassified everything that they found um so it remains to be seen a death ray alone i mean that gets people gone yeah i mean anytime you call it the death ray
Starting point is 01:43:47 yeah that's going to send up some red flags also um the scientists let me let me make sure i have this part of it um according to the declassified files dr john g trump reported that his analysis showed tesla's efforts to be primarily of a speculative philosophical and promotional character and so the papers did not include new sound workable principles or methods for realizing such results and uh john g trump is the younger brother of donald j trump's father fred trump which fred trump's a very funny name so uh how how much of this death ray does the trump family know about and are they suppressing the american people's knowledge about such well you know he once paid an overdue hotel bill by giving the managers a small wooden box which he said contained a working
Starting point is 01:44:42 model of his famous death beam. Yeah. So he tried to pay a bill with the death beam and he told the manager of the hotel to never open it. Listen, if I had a death beam, I wouldn't be paying bills ever again. I wouldn't also be arming the people I owe money with with their own mini death raise. But the fearful managers never opened the box. I have a real question. How stupid were people like a hundred years ago? Because it seems like, It seems like the app, but it seems much more pronounced in the not so recent past. I mean, how many of our coworkers keep getting their accounts hacked because they're clicking on DMs and giving away all their information?
Starting point is 01:45:27 Not a bad point. Wait, big fear, are you saying that people are dumber now or that they were dumber 100 years ago? No, they're way dumber 100 years ago. Well, I thought that Nicola Tesla designed a UFO about 15 minutes ago. That's true. Again, not a bad point. which you might have also stumbled upon
Starting point is 01:45:46 so Billy was right by the way Tesla was a Valsell he was he was a virgin his entire life he was six foot six in the 1890s which is that actually might be too tall he should have hooped he's tall as hell
Starting point is 01:46:06 and he just yeah he stayed celibate his entire life and he said Billet, are you, are you an cell or a VAL sell? You're a VALSEL, right? I'm, I'm just,
Starting point is 01:46:18 I'm just celebrating. He respects women. I'm just selling all the time. Oh, one other thing for Tesla, dude invented the remote control. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:46:33 Thank you, Mr. Tesla. That's big. It's massive. People don't, people don't talk about that enough. So that's Tesla. Let's get us.
Starting point is 01:46:41 some voicemails real quick. Just as a society, we need to respect Tesla a little bit more. Do you think he'd be pissed off that is his names on cars that sometimes don't work? Probably. By the way, that's, Cole, you got to get fact checked on that. That was a traditional callback. Like many. For 25% of the entire fleet?
Starting point is 01:47:04 That is a typical recall for newly produced models of cars. but they weren't all newly produced. But that's typical, like the worst, the worst recall. I'm not saying it was the worst recall in history. I'm saying I don't recall another recall where 25% of the active cars on the road had to be recalled. I'm not saying it as it happened. I know GMC had a bad one in the early 2000s. The tour that way, no, that's true.
Starting point is 01:47:34 It was a Firestone. There was a tire recall in the early 2000s, too. That really fuck a lot. Like the Ford are blown up. The Ford cruise control had 14.9 million recalled. Okay. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff. I could imagine in not necessarily all,
Starting point is 01:47:52 I don't know why I'm standing Elon Musk this episode. Me either, but I do. Why? Because he didn't exactly fact check me. You love standing cats that are, have controversial opinions. Which of his opinions do you think I'm a fan of? I think you like he's he's more of he's libertarian leaning and I think you're you're left
Starting point is 01:48:17 leaning but you you enjoy a lot of liberty you enjoy it entertaining a lot of libertarian thought especially when it comes I think well you're more physically conservative than you'd like well not you'd like to live but then I like to let it on yeah anyway so I need $10,000 to create a gigantic frog Yep, we should do it So we give Billy his $10,000 bucks Let's do voicemails though You should have made that shit on NFTs already right
Starting point is 01:48:49 True Oh speaking of us Did you see this shit with OBJ? I don't know how true it is But it was funny Oh about the crypto Yeah he had his contract in crypto And since Bitcoin has been devalued so much
Starting point is 01:49:02 Like his contract isn't really worth that much right now What they did was Is they're paying him the cash amount At the time of buying the crypto so actually so he got technically his recent paycheck hopefully because rovel was the one who did that math yeah so i don't know i'm going off of what our reoccurring guests joey pop a pump greek last name that i can't pronounce said that he was getting the money then buying the bitcoin and then getting it so he wasn't actually
Starting point is 01:49:39 getting paid in Bitcoin. He was just buying Bitcoin. But I think they were doing it. Yeah. It was still, even if he was doing it that way, that's just one extra step to having the same not as much money. But then like, you're still converting it to dollars. But like what if it was actually going by like the time of his paychecks and like this paycheck, he was getting it at the current value. Yeah. Then it would go up. That's that's what he got. So he got his paycheck in Bitcoin, whatever the amount of Bitcoin. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Why would it go up if the value is down? Okay, so, so we get more Bitcoin for his money this time around because the price is lower. But if he's getting the cash value every time
Starting point is 01:50:24 he's paid and then he buys Bitcoin, what they're saying is because the like if he's getting the cash equivalent or the cash from whatever the NFL is paying him, that's still the same because the dollar hasn't gone in three-fourths. So, okay, that makes sense. So what you're saying is he's not getting, he's getting the cash value of Bitcoin at the time. Yes. Well, no, the cash value of whatever the NFL is paying him
Starting point is 01:50:49 and then he's buying however much Bitcoin that is. It's more, what I'm saying? Their metric is the value of Bitcoin at the time. No, no. Yes. He's getting $5 every game check, let's say. And then that $5 is buying. buying $5 of Bitcoin at the time.
Starting point is 01:51:09 So it's more, okay, so the value is lower right now. So it's getting more Bitcoin. What, tell me, so what does that have to do? So why is, why is the contract requested in Bitcoin then? Because if that's the case, you just get paid dollars and then buy Bitcoin and leave the Rams out of it. That makes no sense. But it was more of a promotional thing with FTX, who paid him seven figures to do.
Starting point is 01:51:33 Well, that makes sense on, that makes sense on his end because his contract was like almost a league minimum. But what I'm saying is in order for that to even, this would be even be a conversation, the Rams would have to be paying him out either in Bitcoin or the value of Bitcoin for this to even be a relevant conversation. Yeah, but it was just promotional. He was getting Bitcoin, but for the cash value. Yeah. But the value of Bitcoin, whatever the market value at the time was, which is it's exponential, not expanse. But it's definitely going, it's trending, trending downwards. So it is he, so he didn't get more.
Starting point is 01:52:10 So I think at the start of it, he got $750,000 worth, right? But it's not, that same value is not worth $750,000 anymore. It's like 400 or something like that. But it'll keep going down. So he announced in November that he planned to convert his salary for this NFL season into Bitcoin. I don't even think the Rams are involved. Okay. Well, then that's, yeah, then that's just,
Starting point is 01:52:33 It's just a marketing lawyer. Yeah, it's definitely a marketing player. So he's getting paid by some company. Crypto bro. Crypto bro. Speaking of Reveld, do you see his tweet yesterday about the Rams and the home Super Bowl? I did. Yeah, we reported that exclusively on part of my take that the Rams would be the first team ever to have a home Super Bowl. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:54 And then Schaefter immediately afterwards said the Rams will be the first team to ever play a home NFC championship game followed by a home Super Bowl. Just pulling his nuts out Sorry, Revelle Is there Shefter beef? You got Sheffter beef? No, I mean, we're always like, we're monitoring Schaefter. We're actively monitoring him because he's, he needs to be kept in check sometimes, but I don't have a real problem with him.
Starting point is 01:53:18 I have a problem with if he ever starts to act like he is a big J journalist. That's not what Adam Schaefter is. He's, he is a, uh, an information conduit. conduit and he will conduit the information. He will conduct the information, pass it along as he sees fit to keep himself in the information loop. So he'll, you know, if there's an agent who's representing a player that has a contract coming up in two years that Schaefter wants to be the scoop for, the source of the scoop, and the first report that, what he'll do is he'll make a big deal out of reporting this agent's other contracts that he gets for other players and shining as
Starting point is 01:54:02 positively light or as positive light as possible on those other contracts to make the agent look good. So that way down the line, the agent feeds him all the other information. So and he does the same thing with teams too. He'll carry water for certain teams if he wants to get information from them. What was the player he just did that for? Jimmy Garoppolo. No, no, no, no, for something that was like really bad like he leaked the story that like his his girlfriend was hitting him and then the story came out and it was like the complete opposite oh there was a player that he talked about shoot who was that I feel like it was a player on the chiefs this week and they said that like he he smashed a vacuum cleaner or something like that oh the linebacker but I don't know I don't
Starting point is 01:54:46 know the story behind that so I could be I could be getting it wrong yeah this one was a couple months ago he was like on TV like pounding the desk like no this is what happened And then it came out and that story just kind of died. Oh, yeah, yeah, that one. What was that? It was a couple months ago. My brain just doesn't retain information. Yeah, I can't.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Well, that's the thing. I got it out of the news cycle so quick. But he was like on TV and then like the story slowly, the real truth. I think TMZ got the real truth out. And it was just like, ah, boy, well, they're like suspended a day or am I making that up? I'm not sure. There was a whole like Bruce Allen thing where he referred to the president of the Washington football team as being Mr. Editor.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Dalvin Cook. Was it Dalvin Cook? Was it Dalvin Cook? Yeah, I think that's right. Yes. Because Dalvin Cook was like involved in like an abuse lawsuit. Yeah, it was. It was the Vikings.
Starting point is 01:55:41 Yes. Yeah. And there was the video and it was with the police officer woman. Yeah. He was like adamant about it. Yeah. And then Adam Schaefter issued a statement on air regarding his initial reporting to the Dalvin Cook, Domestic Abution, extortion allegations saying that's a reminder to slow down.
Starting point is 01:55:58 Like, yeah, no big deal. I do that every episode. That's true. That's very true. So here was Schefter's tweet last weekend. During the second half of the season, Jimmy Garapolo simultaneously has raised his value to both the 49ers and to other teams in the offseason trade market. 49ers would not be where they are today with Adam.
Starting point is 01:56:17 So that's not breaking news. That's not journalism. That's Adam Schaefter, either scratching the back of Jimmy's agent. who also happens to represent Tom Brady so that he can get any other Tom Brady news that comes out or it's Adam Schaefter doing the 49ers front office a favor talking about how great Jimmy G is
Starting point is 01:56:37 and how his off-season trade value has gone way, way up so that they can get better picks, whatever it might be, better assets for Jimmy Gropolo. Shepter would be an amazing sports information director at a college, like just pumping out nothing
Starting point is 01:56:53 but positive news and like stopping people from saying anything negative. Baghdad Bob. He'd be so good at that job. That guy was so funny. That's another member of that guy. Baghdad Bob, the information minister in Iraq during the second Iraq war.
Starting point is 01:57:08 As like the U.S. troops were rolling into Baghdad, this guy in his little beret was like standing out in the streets of Baghdad being like, we are doing a great job of fighting the Americans, we're dominating them. They will never be able to take over Baghdad. Meanwhile, they were like at the, at the doors of the city about to just, they took over Iraq about as quickly as, as Germany did to France. It was that two weeks and they just marched across the entire country.
Starting point is 01:57:35 That's essentially what happened. Like, they did not put up a fight. It was the aftermath of Iraq. It was probably Baghdad Bob, all-time propaganda guy. I have a question about Adam Schaefter. So, okay, so you're saying if he gets, like, scratch his backs for other people, does he get? paid like under the table for that or is that legal for him well it gets paid yeah i don't think that he gets paid like monetarily he would probably get fired
Starting point is 01:58:00 if right that's what i was thinking but what happened what he what's his journalistic integrity though like what would that be bending he said journalism integrity that's what i mean but that would be why you'd get fired from like the washington post or someplace like that because the espn can't can't like be putting this guy out there as being the information guy if it comes to light that he's literally getting paid to say things from other companies on the air. I feel like that's a violation of his contract with ESPN. So he just gets paid in like tips. In information, because the more information he's able to put out, then the higher his value becomes to ESPN because he's a guy that's got all the scoops. But I still think his
Starting point is 01:58:46 contract is coming up soon. I think that Schefter is going to go to a gambling company. And I think he's going to have then at that point and he can say whatever he wants all journalistic integrity is out the window like I can say whatever the fuck that I want and make up stuff if I want to because like I work at a company I'm not a journalist but it when then is is he like setting lines for like where players are signing yeah why would he so I think I think he's giving information right but I'm saying he could sway that information I know
Starting point is 01:59:18 that's only you can bet on like he could sway that information yeah no that's a much quicker way for him to get in trouble than staying at ESPN. Then it becomes an issue where he's like, he's got the information that he's giving to the sports books themselves before the general public gets it so they can adjust their lines and their favor. Right. Shefti Unleashed would be a hell of a, I think, I think I'm in on that. Oh, I mean, the stories he could probably tell.
Starting point is 01:59:44 Free him from his chains. That he hasn't been able to tell. Yeah, that guy is, I mean, he's played the game very, very. well for himself. All right, let's do some voicemails real quick. I just dropped the mammoth collection. Like on open Cs? Yep.
Starting point is 02:00:01 I was like just high school or talking about taking a dump. That's all that sounds like. Okay. That's your opinion, bro. Hey, before you do, I want to read this, bro, because shout out to this cat, whoever this cat is. I don't want to say his name. But remember the last podcast I was talking about 5G versus 4G?
Starting point is 02:00:20 Yeah. So apparently this dude works in the industry and he goes, and who knows if this is true, but this shit sound true as fuck. So if it's not, he got me. But if it is, it sounds plausible. He said, insight into the 5G. He said, 5G is a sham at the moment. Only place is truly available is in larger metro, metros and campuses.
Starting point is 02:00:38 Even there, it's still pretty spotty. They put the 5G tag on your screen if you are close enough to potentially pull from the tower's range, but the coverage map does not nearly reach the full distance of where people are seeing it on their phone. If 5G pops up and it's slow, it's because it's trying to get that connection but ends up bouncing back and forth from LTE to 5G causing the seeming drop in service. I work for a tech company selling M2M connectivity solutions, the large connections we don't see or want to care about but critical. And we are telling our clients who are asking about 5G that we are not expecting to push for 5G for at least another two years. we future proof our part so that so to make it easier make an easier transition when
Starting point is 02:01:20 it's reliable enough but now it's not that time 5G is just a big marketing ploy to excite people and we'll be going on for some time that I thought that was a really good explanation because that's that's exactly what I experienced with 5G every every time 5G pop up my phone shit is way slower this shit makes 100% sense facts all right let's do it so shout out to that guy you're my guy let's just uh let's just uh let's do two voicemails.

Starting point is 02:03:39 This is Neil from Pennsylvania. I just have a quick question. If you guys could and girls could teach a college course, what would be the subject of that course?
Starting point is 02:03:55 And if you could have a guest speaker, who would that guest speaker be? A little bit of the pod. Hope to hear it. See you. I think I think I could teach college course in the evolution of sports journalism 1999 to 2015.
Starting point is 02:04:24 I would take that class. Yeah, that'd be a good class. Because it dramatically shifted over that time period, dramatically. Like the whole embrace debate, Skip Bayliss. Skip Bayless changed sports. Shout out Skip. dude's the man never give up on a take that's where i get my ethos from skip balas i was not wrong about my take i was just prematurely correct yes skip in a nutshell baby i love it and i would try to
Starting point is 02:04:55 get i would i try to get skip to help me teach the class guess guess guest speaker i like it i got to give a shout out to my college professor rich hanley he taught a class called history of football best class i've ever taken by far he brought in chris brervin one day it was so cool uh just learning about like the history of the game like beyond what you would think like happened in the game it was just so cool greatest class i ever taken i would teach that hell yeah i think i'd go with um like how to be a good human being and it's a good class it's a great class and i would bring in Cornell West to teach it.
Starting point is 02:05:44 And I'd take it. I'm not teaching it. Okay. That fucking dude is just the greatest. I like it. Yeah, you'd make, yeah, that counts. You would design the course and then you'd be the guest speaker. Coley, what about you?
Starting point is 02:06:01 I feel like mine would be a counter to your class where it's... How to be a bad even being? No, no, no. I mean, a bad guy. You just hand everyone a knife. That's their textbook. More people would sign up for the How to Be a Bad Human Being course than the How to Be a Good Human Being Course.
Starting point is 02:06:20 It would be such a fun class. Stowe and shit at you while you lecturing and shit. Yeah. A counter to PFT is where it's very similar in the teachings, but the ethos is based upon being louder than your opponent. And I would bring in Stephen A. Smith. I'm not an expert in anything. Frogs.
Starting point is 02:06:50 Actually. Yeah, you can teach your frog class. I would love to take like an advanced herpetology class, but I don't think like I could definitely teach out of the textbook, but I don't think I'd be a, nobody here is an expert at anything. This is just a fun exercise.
Starting point is 02:07:07 I know, but like, I don't even know what I'm. like what about supplements no are you still taking your supplements I'm taking my supplements I had to pee like a hundred times during the live stream yesterday
Starting point is 02:07:23 prostate's doing better though for the most part if anybody's wondering eat your vitamins Hulk Hogan yep I would do one on the evolution of rest stops in America
Starting point is 02:07:35 but you only know rest stops as they exist now Well, I would have to learn You don't know rest stops from 1920s That's what I'll I'll figure it out And then I'll teach it Think about rest stops before cars were mainstream I know that's like I think it would be interesting
Starting point is 02:07:53 And then look at them out Yeah And it would just be like troughs on the side of the road Yeah No and then I would I don't know who I'd bring in for it though I'd have to find like another like rest stop enthusiasts Or
Starting point is 02:08:08 Yeah I'd have to find someone else that's obsessed with restops like I am, but I would do the evolution of rest stops from horse troughs to now. All right. Anyone else? Big take. I would want to do something about the psychology of sports fandom. Huh.
Starting point is 02:08:30 Like the, like I, sports without fans, like everybody agrees that it sucked, but to me it was like not worth watching at all. If you can't, if you can't be there in person to throw mustard onto the field, then what's the purpose? That's part of, like, I am very intrigued by the, what the psychological makeup of, of diehard sports fans, like myself. And like, yeah, take that class. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not versed enough to teach you. I would want to take that class, but like, that's, for sure.
Starting point is 02:09:03 That's a subject that I would be very interested in. Guys, I think the stock market's back. Hell yeah Who would you bring in like Boltman Who would you bring in You know You know what's a great show
Starting point is 02:09:17 That people should watch I wish I could remember the name of it It's um It's it's It's Deepak Chopra's son And he He did a TV show Kind of on this subject
Starting point is 02:09:28 That like equates sports fandom With religion Very interesting Uh Maybe that guy I'm trying I'm trying to remember Hang on.
Starting point is 02:09:39 Well, actually, it's an interesting correlation between you are at Avery's class. I don't know if in the history of football that class you took, did they correlate the history behind, like, religiosity and football? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we talked about, like, the football religion. It's crazy. And how it's, like, indicative in family and community. It's like, it's actually a very intriguing psychological take.
Starting point is 02:10:05 Gotham, Chopra, Religion of Sports. What a name. Gotham Chopra. That is a dope name. As much as I don't like, what's I don't like Deepak? That's a fire-ass name. I think he's a recurring guest and part of my take.
Starting point is 02:10:19 Gotham Chopra? Yeah. Gotham. Deepak. He's an American author. Gotham Chopra. That's cracking. Let's see.
Starting point is 02:10:32 He's going to do something crazy. Religion of Sports Yeah Yeah, he was So he was on He was on part of my take Talked about his documentary I think about Kobe Bryant
Starting point is 02:10:48 Yeah, he was like a big big Likers guy Yeah Fascinating guy He also helped Michael Jackson write songs Really? Innocent Innocent What else we got, Matt Dog?
Starting point is 02:11:01 One more? Yeah Yeah What about? Macrodosing crew It's Everett from Fort Worth, Texas. I just wanted to know what is your biggest, like, trivial beef with living in America. So no vaccine passports, big tea.
Starting point is 02:11:23 But I would say, like, mine is no drinking in public. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Keep it's a good word. That's a good one. The fact that we don't have more cities like New Orleans where you can walk around. just enjoying a nice cocktail in the open
Starting point is 02:11:39 that's a good gripe to have mine is you have to pay for pizza on Friday it's bullshit give us those vouchers come on mine is health care you said trivial
Starting point is 02:11:54 yeah that's not trivial you ask that guy sitting on the couch over there if he agrees with it that that still doesn't you're making an argument that it's a very serious thing
Starting point is 02:12:06 which is the opposite of what we're saying. Oh, I misunderstood the question. So, okay, okay, my bad. That's my fault. I did fuck that up. Okay. That's a very big thing. One of the core tenets of the society.
Starting point is 02:12:24 Yeah, that's my bad. I fucked that up, man. This was a long night. Come back to me. Trivial. There should be more trains. Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 02:12:38 We should have Hell yeah Train should be nicer The NJ Transit train sucks Amtrak is great though No we're talking about like long distance train Oh yeah absolutely We've talked about that multiple things
Starting point is 02:12:51 I think I should be able to train to L.A from here I think you can Bullet train Can you train from New York to L.A? I mean if you want it to take I'm saying direct You want the high speed
Starting point is 02:13:04 I think you have to go to Chicago and then it goes down through like Texas and Arizona from there. You guys should just train out right. The alcohol, the age of, should be 18 to drink alcohol. I think it should be 19. Just keep them out of high school.
Starting point is 02:13:25 Yeah, because if it's 18, then every senior is buying hard liquor for every freshman. And that's that, you get in some problems when you got like, 15 year olds. Okay. And in Germany, I think it's 16 or something like that. 21 for hard alcohol, wine and beer.
Starting point is 02:13:42 18. Yep. And that's the shitty wine. That's like 8% you can only buy in gas stations. I like that. That makes no sense. Because you don't want them to think it tastes good. I'm going with, um, I got a few of them.
Starting point is 02:14:00 Airplane bathrooms are hell of small. like we got to change that and just in general they need to stop packing people in airplanes just make all the seats first class make a comfortable ride like it's just whack profit margins though
Starting point is 02:14:18 there you go there's there's fiscally conservative billy popping up but what about yeah you didn't bring up the profit margins when pft was giving everyone free pizza I said that it would disincentivize society last time. Yeah, he brought up mice and said that
Starting point is 02:14:36 nobody's going to want to work in here for his last time he was pitching three people. Oh, by the way, I killed that mouse. Killed the mouse in my car right now. It turns out that there's probably dozens of other mice because I was looking at my apartment complex is extermination sign up sheet and there's so many people, even on my floor
Starting point is 02:14:54 that are like, hey, yeah, you need to send the mouse guy out. He's just trying to cook and you fucking ruined his Did you eat its heart? No, I definitely did not. Cut open to eat its heart. I don't. I only eat animals that are stronger and more powerful than I am so I can gain their strength. Same.
Starting point is 02:15:11 Do you eat chickens? A nervous little bird. I did have Chick-fil-A for lunch today, so yes. I do eat chickens. Chickens are more powerful. All right. Anybody else have one or should we call this a day? Coley?
Starting point is 02:15:27 Yeah, I'm moving the Super Bowl on Saturday for sure. That great call. True, great call. Or to the day before President's Day. Yeah, or we'll move a holiday to that Monday. I'm fine with either of those. Yep. There should be a national holiday celebrating us, like in the now.
Starting point is 02:15:44 Like, anything that we celebrate, I think I said this before, but everything we celebrate as a country, as I already happened, MLK Day, July 4th, whatever the case would be like, we need a holiday celebrating today, celebrating everybody in the now. Everybody take off today and enjoy your people, man. That would be fired. That should be the Monday after the Super Bowl. No, not.
Starting point is 02:16:04 It's, well, that's just arguing. But it's not a holiday? New Year's Day is a holiday. I don't know. It's a day off. That's what I'm saying. I look like a national holiday celebrating us. And that's not really celebrating us that's celebrating the new year.
Starting point is 02:16:17 Like, I'm talking about actually celebrating people today, celebrate people. Could you take one day a year and have it be a holiday that it occurs on the same day every year, but we honor somebody else? I guess it's like Time Magazine's personally Like who are we celebrating this year? Labor Day The workers It's kind of a celebration of people The workers
Starting point is 02:16:39 Yeah we should take more time I don't know about you guys I'm not a I don't remember to celebrate things As they happen Like good things if a good thing happens to me I won't I won't take the time to celebrate until Unless somebody else is like hey you should celebrate this And I'm like yeah okay
Starting point is 02:16:55 Whatever we don't take enough time as a society to acknowledge all the great that we've done. I've gotten overly into Christmas these last three or four years. I fucking love it. You're going to be one of those crazy people that gets like 17 trees in their home. Nah, I ain't going to be that crazy. I will get a treat. Like me and my kids, like we spent the whole day decorating the shit.
Starting point is 02:17:17 It was fire. We was playing all the Christmas songs. Best Christmas playlist on the earth. We made ornaments, painted ornaments, all of that shit. Oh, I'm hell into it. I went all out. I spent like good little 5, 6K on their gifts this year. I did a lot.
Starting point is 02:17:34 Celebrate the now. I like that. That's a good message. All right. That will wrap up today's macro dosing. We'll see you guys on Thursday for nanodosing. Should be a good one. Should be fun.
Starting point is 02:17:46 So, yeah, we love you guys. Any final thoughts before we wrap up? We might have not done Nikola Tesla justice. I think we did. No, I agree with Billy. Shout out Nicola Tesla. We're team Tesla. We'll do some, we'll tie some loose ends on Thursday.
Starting point is 02:18:04 That's actually like a great thing that we can do on Thursday shows is to just be like, okay, here's all the stuff that we fucked up from Tuesday. Like an editor's note? Yeah. So we'll hear all the responses from people on the things that we missed about Tesla. We'll cover some of that. And that will be our, sorry that we rambled on about Time Magazine person in the year for 30 minutes. Here's a little bit of makeup covering some more facts.
Starting point is 02:18:26 All right, we'll see you guys Thursday. Love you guys.
