All right, macrodosing.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
Telegram?
What's the one that's uncensored?
Big T.
Is it telegram?
Parlor.
Parlor.
Parlor.
Yeah.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
all the cocoa
well it doesn't
it's Peru
Peru
and Perry why
yeah
how come
well Columbia also has
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
This generation can't even deal with
I don't know
Is it
Say it
Common gold
Huh?
Oh come on Bill
Common cold
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Goated.
Yeah.
Goated.
Absolutely goaded.
What else?
You had $7 at the Scholastic Book Fair.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
yeah
I think you could
no I don't think
actually
I don't think
you could check off
while running
yeah
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
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
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
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.
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
Cedarol
Yeah
The Legion of Boom
They were using
They were using Adderall
And Viagra
I think
I think it was
On the cocktail
And then the
Red Sox
I didn't even think
about that
When I
The 2004
Red Sox were also
Doing Viagra
That's funny as fuck
Yeah
Who on the Red Sox
I think
Pedro Martinez
was putting
Viagra
They were like
During this
booze mixture
That had Viagra
And I think
Greenies
And I'm, hell yeah.
As he told Seth Myers,
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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. It's got built-in underwear lining right
inside the shorts. It's perfect for workouts. You take them, you take your bird dogs, you wear them to the
gym, you change out of your bird dogs into a new set of bird dogs. It eliminates all the, all the
planning that you have to do when it comes to bring new pairs of underwear, finding a place to put
your old underwear after you've worked out. It's great for swimming, great for the beach. I wear
bird dogs every single day when I went to the ocean this summer. They double the swimsuits
and they now make joggers. So they're the most comfortable shorts in the world and they've
evolved. They've evolved into joggers. Your legs look great in bird dogs. I get a lot of compliments.
You know, PFT. Why do your legs look so good today? It's something that's frequently set around the
office. Well, one, because I'm doing squats, too, because I'm wearing bird dogs. Birddogs is also doing
the best podcast promo that we've ever
had. If you go to birddogs.com
you enter promo code dose, they're going to
give you a free bird dogs whistle
football. That's right, like the old
Nerf vortex howler footballs
that whistle when you throw them. They're the best for

I would say. Hank
came to the beach this summer. We brought out
the whistle football. Billy, toss me the vortex.
Toss me the vortex.

I love bird dogs.
I honestly wear them every day when I'm wearing shorts.
Now they make joggers.
Birddogs is awesome.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
Who's 0-2?
Oh, oh, 2000.
was
GW
person of the year
2002
was the whistleblowers
who are a group of three women
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
yeah
I'm
no one
no one said
I was smart about this
but
all right
well shout out
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
son
also
I can
yeah tell you what
let's just
should we want to skip to voicemails
yeah
want to do some voicemails
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
Got it.

What's up?
Macroposing, boys and girl.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
That like equates sports fandom
With religion
Very interesting
Uh
Maybe that guy
I'm trying
I'm trying to remember
Hang on.
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.
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.
Gotham Chopra?
Yeah.
Gotham.
Deepak.
He's an American author.
Gotham Chopra.
That's cracking.
Let's see.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All right, we'll see you guys Thursday.
Love you guys.
