The Wild Wild Wild West. Hey, we're fired up, dude. We're here. We're here. We're here again. Every week, dude. We're here. We're rocking.

I'm not trying to be purposely obscured in the plants. This is just how the seats going. You do got the Safari look going, though. You got the Safari look going down. I do look like Jungle Gym right now. The Wild Four beers. I got cooked in the sun yesterday. So the bucket, I just brought the bucket.

I am wearing it inside just to reflect how absolutely sunburn I was. I got. I just got destroyed in the sun And then I was a Shilling at the house just dead I had just eaten Crush my fiber like drink Or the fiber powder of the drink

And dude I I'm like still in a A bathing suit with wet underwear Because it's you know The bathing suit doesn't have ever Like why do you have an underwear Because they didn't have like a net And it's just it's so thin

You were around you're around children right I'm on children I can't have the teen that's getting back in the field even if that day It's just weird Even if I was like Presenting that day Because it is we're in the Austin heat

This is the best flasic dong weather ever I could even been presenting I still don't you don't want the fucking Diff flasset You don't want the Diff fucking vacuum sealed in the pool It's just awkward Yeah And then you gotta watch too

If I get out of the water I'll try to like unvaccume seal But then you're just opening your waistband You can be flashing dong inadvertently It's the I don't know I was about a whole different thing I got like I get the same problem

I'm born. I wear the netted Jones, but my like soft water dick gets mashed into the front of it. But it looks like every time, I don't know if it's just the way my dick wrestle my balls. It looks like I have the tiniest bow. And it's just, I get up the pool every time.

Oh, shit. Yeah, it sucks, dude. It sucks. You got to do a quick, like, but then it's like, yeah, you get into the head game of like, is this person wondering why I'm adjusting? Yeah, I don't want to look like I'm adjusting.

Is it adjusting big dick behavior? Is it a little dick behavior? I don't know. I don't know what these fucking ladies are thinking. And I don't want anybody think it's weirdo behavior Because I feel like I got to do it every time I get out the pool I know I've been trying to let it ride

But I do Every now and again is not as bad as you think Yeah And that's why I'll keep the boxer briefs on Under certain bathing suits They don't love the compression Because it's like they're so thin If I get vacuum sealed

It's just just awkward dudes I get nervous to just even check how bad it looks Because I feel like once you make eye contact with it If you notice you're like well I got it I try to hit it underwater as I'm getting out I'll try to if you let the water in it breaks the seal water rushes I haven't even thought of that.

I don't think about it until I'm out of the water. I know. 99% of the times I'm just coming out but lately I have been like I'm gonna let it ride I'm gonna let it ride we have fucking foreigners here we got guys in Speedos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's a dude in Speedos the other day laying on his back just sunning a hog and it's just like bro do you, do you? But like I was probably feels nice. Just swimming being like girls don't even like that, dude. They don't like that. Being weird. And I was there like these

two ladies and I'm like, I was like, they don't like that. That's got to just be... I got to ask, actually, because now I need to know if ladies think that's like... Because in my mind, it looks so goofy. It's no way they go. That's hot as hell. Yeah, honestly, though, upon... So I had my eye on these guys,

they were gay guys. Right away, I'm like, oh, duh. I was not even worried about what ladies think. Weren't even thinking about them. They were probably wondering what I was thinking about and I'm like, I am actively thinking. I'm the only guy in this pool thinking about your dog right now. But, dude, like, think about it like a, we see ladies in bikinis and go, ooh, you know? Yeah, yeah, 100%.

Also, Sonny your dog probably feels. Sonny your dick is probably like, I don't really, I was out of, like, pissing outside during the day. Like, I don't know what sun on my dick feels like. It's probably. It's nice. But, again, it was still speeded up. He didn't have it, like, hanging out. But still, that's this much of a layer.

That's true. It was there. And it's like a tight layer. It's not like when you're. and just your swim trunks was kind of like over you. Yeah, you're not feeling the race. He was definitely feeling the raise on his dog. Probably what was swelling it up.

I was about to say it probably makes it. There's a party, I think it makes it at least a little bigger. Definitely, dude. You're warming the sun and there's a fucking guy swimming there with these kids, just constantly checking your penis in the pool. He's probably like, what the hell's going on? It's working. It's working.

My gay trap's working. Is that sunbird dude checking out my dick? It was just, the angle was crazy Because he was laying on his back Yeah So if you're a pool If you came out of the water You saw the dudes

You just saw all you saw it all you saw his dick You're like wow man, what the hell And like the underside of dick The worst porn shot it was like a crazy angle Where I was like bro did you set this up? Yeah Did you lift? Did you lift it before you laid in?

It was yeah He was that yeah He definitely propped it That's just probably stuff you learn at gay school How to lay out how to just put it up properly. We never learned. Our dad's never taught us how to put it up properly.

Petmanship and penis presentation. Three peas. But yeah, that was the day yesterday. Just floating, swimming, getting absolutely cooked. I learned. I learned about swimming, though. I did learn about, I learned how to swim properly. Took lessons after my kid.

My kid got done lessons. I kind of asked. I was like, you know, everyone gave an old man some technique lessons. Dude, swimming, like, swimming properly, so fucking hard. Yeah. What stroke were they teaching you? Freestyle.

Okay. Freestyle. I mean, I didn't ask about your stroke, but. Oh, hey, dude, that's swimming culture. It's like, Paul's culture can't even be in swimming culture. Swimming culture is so outlandish with Speedos and, dude, it was. It's no real. You'll be pausing all day.

You be paused. You can't even function. If you're even in a pause mindset, if I brought Dame Dash or somebody, to a swim meet He would have to leave He'd have to leave He'd say he could be paused He'd be in there

If he goes out of swim meet He'd be like pause You know he's in a full suit On a podcast Trying Do whatever the fuck he's up to I hope this isn't a hilariously Like I can't swim question

But what's freestyle Like it's just anything Freestyle's the classic Oh okay okay Okay Let me actually get proper form Oh hand over hand My hands are cups

Oh Whatever that is But the, that freestyle is hard to do without getting completely gas. You get breaststroke indefinitely. Yeah, that, that was, because you're coming up. But freestyle, I mean, this is, I don't want to bore people out of their minds. But if you're doing it properly, you need to have a plan like, okay, three strokes, breathe. Because if you're like, stroke, stroke, oh, fuck, I'm out of air.

And you don't even come up for air. You just kind of roll to your side and your mouth breaches and you take in air and you go back down. But if you miss, I was just about bringing water in. You're like, it was a long way to go. That's all. I've a long way to go. So you found that you actually can't swim also? Oh, I can swim.

It's a matter of technique. I mean, I mean, I can do 1,000 yards in about 27 minutes. I was trying to find solidarity between the three of us, bro. No, I hear you. I'm not a particularly great swimmer if you want to bond over that. I like it. I got a great butterfly stroke. Bro, no, you don't.

Bro, no, you don't. When a latimer. That's a ladybug stroke. I want to see your butterfly now. Okay. You know, matter of fact, almost a year ago. Where's your legs doing? Where's your legs doing?

We went on the lake. It was about a year ago. You, bro, you were terrified of the water. Me too. Lake waters, I will say, lake water is a little different. It was. I think we both did the whole day with the floaty.

We were live jackers. That's smart. Floody in the lake is honestly, especially I'm sure alcohol is involved. If we wouldn't have done that, we'd have drank. and you guys would have been the racist guys who killed us on the internet.

They wouldn't have been true, but that's what the internet would say. They'd be like, they went out there with their wife. Little Obama chef conspiracy. It would have been gay and racist. It would be like gay racist conspiracy. We get overly confident.

I'm pretty sure they fuck their producers and drowned them. Lake Austin. We get too confident to ruin everybody's lives. I mean, yeah, there was, what you call it? I just saw a thing, a famous, like, Instagram bodybuild, like a fitness influencer, like an OG fitness influencer, just, yeah, he just, well, he drowned.

The guy, I forget his name. I saw one about a guy who was, like, on ayahuasca, and he, like, ran out of a building. No, the guy in Thailand? I'll find it because I find the guy I'm talking about. I just had it here in my phone yesterday, but there was a guy who was, like, a OG fitness Influencer 32 years old. And let me see if I can find it right here. Connor Murphy?

I believe so, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the guy. 32 years old. Yeah. He apparently was just in Thailand and bugged out. Like, he smeared paint all over here. He, like, just was up all night. Yeah.

Again, I think the toxicology is coming in. It seems like meth type stuff. I have a video if you want to see him from like when he was about to pass out. Thailand, yeah. Yeah. He's terrifying. This is a video from him. Oh, yeah.

He ran. Well, the cops came and he ran. ran away and jumped into a like a really deep lake or wherever it was, try to swim away and he fucking just drowned. Yeah. That's how he went out. That's him? Is that what he was on?

Oh, shit. Oh, no. Oh, God, dude. That's fucked. That doesn't look fun. Yeah, no. He's like playing with his tongue. Damn, I wanted to.

That was the thing I wanted to try one day. Ayahuasca. But that's, that's like, he's like. might have just scared me off of it. I'm staunchly. Also, staunchly, I think it's bizarre.

Like, all these guys that do ayahuasca, they always do it 50 fucking times. You go down into a jungle. I really do suspect that some of that stuff is a cult. Yeah. Again, it's like you never did it,

blah, blah, fair enough. But I see a lot of people like, this is my 50th Iowaaska journey. Yeah. Dude, I feel like you're... That's too fucking many.

Exactly. Exactly. You shouldn't have double digits. If it is this like, you know, mother spirit transformative thing, you got to pay this guy a thousand bucks again to do it down in Peru. Yeah. Why? I personally, and I've talked to taught my brother about this a lot.

He shares, I think even more so, kind of a paranoid concern where you go down to like, you know, say Peru, wherever, these guys, like the Iowa Scaro guys, shaman types, man, that is the easiest hustle to pull off. Yeah. You get a rich guy from America or London or anywhere. You have them tripping fucking balls with a bunch of other people. And then afterwards, you're like, bro, your aura during that whole thing. Like, I think you're, like, part of the great lineage.

And you need to come back down here and train. And, like, I don't know. I kid. I don't want to be yucking yumb or being like a big time hater on people's fucking, you know, psychedelic bug out session. But, like, dude, that shit freaks me out where it's like, this is my 50th time. I'm just, I have so much more to clear. It's like, dude, I know, I know one dude who did it, he did it once.

And he did, he changed his life. I don't know if it was for the better or not, but he was like, he had like a good job working IT for like a big company or whatever. He just quit and started, like after the did Ioski, came back and quit and started taking care of, like, volunteering and taking care of dogs at the Humane Society. That's true. Like, that's cool. But it also was like, you had a great gig, bro.

I don't know if that. I don't know if you're. family was pretty hype on that. That's the thing. I've heard of a couple people too who have been like, yeah, I've done it once or twice.

It was like, it was life changing, amazing. It's like, cool, that's nice. I've also, I feel like I've seen a couple

people kind of bug, completely bug on it. And then like, I remember, I remember really early on when it was first coming online talking to someone were like,

you would hear about it. Like, it was like steroids. We'd be like, it was like hippie steroids. He'd be like, dude, he's just on a different level now.

Like my, I remember someone telling like, dude, did Iwaski came back now he has a dual screen computer and he just like does shit all day you know it's just looking at conspiracy two screens now that that's that was the big breakthrough but yeah I don't know I do think there's like I don't know I I'm like the more I see of that stuff the more I'm kind of I'm really hesitant yeah but my whole point is definitely

don't do it in your fucking apartment by yourself in Thailand if that's what you're no every two hours he was doing extra doses every two hours he was like taking ayahuas. With who, just himself? Just himself, yeah. Well, that's the other thing. You get people who are like in the States like, I can make it.

I'll just bring it over. It's like, I'm not doing it in my house. Yeah. What the fuck, dude? Then you're like, no, take me to the jungle. I don't care if I'm being sucked into a cold. Give me the... And everybody I know who's done it says

it's like a six-hour trip. Like every two is like, he was bugging. He had to be on, I don't know. Multiple. Yeah, multiple levels. Yeah, he was in all the dimensions. He saw his past present. That's a shame.

Andrew Tate was, he was talking about ayahuaski and he says it's for cowards. He's like, if I wanted to find myself, I'll go in the ring and I'll fight and see what I'm made of. I don't need ayahuasca like that, as we said. Okay. My thing is like, do it before you talk shit. That's the OG anti-stoner like, dude, I don't even care. What am I guarantee he would bug out and freak the fuck out. That's my thing.

It's like it's probably sick. I'm not saying it's not sick. It's just the context is in kind of bugs me out a little bit. it where it's like, I'm part of the ancient lineage and da-da-da-da-da-da. I've heard that stuff's not even real. Like the, like, I heard they did it. Like, that was like a thing they did a long time ago, but like this whole like Iowa-scarro lineage,

I could be wrong. I've heard it's pretty recent in terms of like formalizing it and all this stuff. Again, we're starting to, like, almost like if you're a salesman, like, it's a way of a grift. I heard it's a bit of a hustle. Again, I could be wrong. I don't know.

Iowa Sceros. I mean, good luck with that. I don't even know how to spell it. Iowascus. It's like up there with diarrhea. Yeah, yeah. Impossible to smell. Impossible to spell.

That's all. My whole thing is like he'd caution because it's easy. Dude, you imagine again, if you are, if you happen to be a bit of a malevolent actor, it's easy to snack. You have some wayward Westerner

and you fucking blow their mind. You're dressed. You have a log. You just like look like the thing they want you to look like you. I believe that guy. Especially if you're going there for that, you want that.

You want that to all be true. They already know that. They want you to believe or they want to believe everything you're put pitching to them. It's probably a layup. I mean, the easiest. I think the babes are there. You can snag the babes. They're first and foremost.

It's just like you have the beautiful mother spirit. You're divine. I do. Oh, my God. Have ever done like Orange Theory yoga classes? How did you know? Oh, my God. You can see it.

Oh, my God, I have done Orange Theory. Is it showing? It's just a Peruvian creeps A bunch of guys with llamas Again Maybe I'm wrong All right Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe it's chill Again My thing is I will say For the record Terrified to do it Maybe one day It'd be cool You can all do it

You say maybe to company Retreat level That way None of us get whisked away And to So that's like a zero for you I awash A complete zero

Maybe one day Again maybe one day Again I could be wrong I have a lot of I have a tendency to like Hear things And be like Fuck that that's bullshit

But I think it definitely probably rocks your socks because it's similar to DMT I think I'm nervous I'm nervous I smoked DMT before and I was If you're telling me you're turn that on for six hours No thank you

Did you do like the straight D&T Or did you do like the changa The changa? But it's still like I blasted I was gone It's fucking nuts dude I was so I had the changa for a while I had it so long I was like it might not be good anymore

You need and again this is You know I'm contradicting myself but you need somebody there. You can't. It's gonna be me and my girl. She's not... You don't... You need like...

I luckily still have a thing where like if I'm with my older brother, I'm like, my older brother's here. Yeah, yeah. Totally cool. Yeah. So I spoke to Changa with him and I was like,

what could go wrong with my older? And dude, it literally felt like someone just like, like, you know, we see everything here. I feel like someone just crunched that like a soda can and I was just somewhere else.

I blavit because you said that. You saw the day. You were with me the day I lost that. With my brother. My brother couldn't hang at the show. When he collapsed? Yeah, that was the day I was like, you know, I'm big bro now. He went down.

What is a changa? Changa is when you take, so you take basically DMT, and rather than smoking the crystal itself, you can kind of like melt it down or like dissolve it in something, put it on like an herb, like anything. And then you let that the alcohol or whatever evaporate out. It like transfers a DMT into a smoke. smokable herb form.

That way you can just kind of rip it out of a bong and then having to blow torch crystals like a crackhead. So, yeah, it was, it's... And here's the thing, too. It's like, you know, I'm not the biggest psychonaut in the world, but it's like I've done mushrooms a bunch of times, I've done it, all that stuff. At the end of the day,

there's really nothing that can completely ice out your day to day, like a Tuesday 10 a.m. Bullshit part of the day. Yeah. You can only get better to that by Facebook. facing it head on. The idea like, dude,

I fucking transcend it to another dimension with this. And now it's like, now I've not bothered at work. Yeah, maybe for three months, man. And then you're going to, like,

you're going to get an annoying phone call and you're going to spaz. And it's going to contradict this whole fucking personality you've built around being high for 10 hours. That might be the, that might be,

that's going to suck. And then you're going to get depressed is I've seen it. That might be the nice, ayahuasca, it might last long, but like that, like,

the afterglow. Yeah, because the mushroom after glow, I feel like last for, like if you do, I don't know, I've never really done more than the eighth, but that lasts for like two days. Yeah. Of like, you know what? Nothing's that bad.

The world's great people are nice. And then you get like by day three you're back to like yelling in traffic or whatever the fuck. I mean, again, I'm not against it. I think it rocks that we have that stuff, especially for as we get older. Yeah. I think it's like massive. It's going to be so great to approach death with the ability to be like, oh, yeah, diagnosis isn't good. Yeah.

Time for a five. grammar. It's all been, you know, I'm not in like some weird basement. This is all above board. I think all of that is phenomenal. It's just this whole thing when guys are like with the whole like Twitter thread brain where it's like let me tell you about a time I've absolutely transcended. Here's how I've done it. It's like, dude, shut the fuck up. No, you have it. You're a fucking dumb ass. This is probably AI. That's the shit I hate when it's like I've gone to I just, I've gone to another level. I would love to feel like that though. Like come back and just be weird around y'all. Like I'm just weird.

be awesome. Dude, I've literally done this. I've lived it. I've lived it and you just crash. It's a delusion. It's a chemically powered delusion that crashes so fucking hard

and you go, fuck. Just our only wearing sandals and shit like that. No, guys, I know what's going on. If I got diagnosed

with like a deadly disease, I'd be on mushrooms all the time. I think that would be like it. I would do like a crazy amount too. Every day. Just like a bunch. I'm, I eat like a quarter ounce, like a half ounce.

I think I might definitely, if I knew I'm dying, I might do one. Pure Vision Quest. Yeah, fool, you know, lay me down. I'm finishing my lifeguard and it's going to do right now. Here's the thing, though. Maybe, maybe. I like to think I would too, but imagine tripping really hard when you know you have a

terrible disease. Oh. Because then you might go like, oh, fuck, I have a disease. And I'm going to, yeah, could freak you out. Although, no, but if you take enough, you will, like, leave your body. and that would be pleasant because you'd be like, what fuck's the disease? I'm going over here.

I'm never going back to that thing. Fuck that. My body sucks. My body's cooked. My mind is gay. I'm on the fucking ethereal plane. Come back into your body. You're like,

yeah, fuck. I thought I was, I thought I made it out. I already met for a guy. I think overall, for real, probably would help. If you have a terminal disease and you get to like blast out of the whole body's

no doubt huge W spiritual W for sure it's just when you're like 27 you're a coder and you're like I've actually hacked the fabric of reality and Tate dude oh I just get in the ring to see what it's like first of all okay so then you know whatever I'm not gonna hate on cover tape but it's like he's not a UFC or anything yeah it's like it's definitely impressive to be a kickboxer but like okay dude cool and it's also like he's not defined by his fighting

it's his online personality that's attracting people So it's kind of nuts Wait, Tate used to be a fighter He's a kickboxer He's a real yeah, he's a real kickboxer But last time he fought he like lost though didn't me Yeah I mean every fighter loses But it's also like I'm not again

I'm not sitting here hating on Gilbert Tate's fighting Yeah But it's like dude if that's the case Getting the fucking Octagon with a UFC guy You know But it's you know It's whatever that whole thing I've encountered that so many times

It's like fuck that smoking weed It's like dude you will bug out It's okay You'll bug out be like, I don't even need that shit. I'm like, okay, cool. I've been debating whether or not I'm going to, like, do something like that for my dad.

He's getting like, he's getting older. He's getting goofy-brained. Yeah. And I don't know. Just part of me feels like that would be nice for it. But I don't want to, you know that have to be calling it goofy brain? What's goofy, yeah, explain your goofy brain.

It's like dementia. Oh, no. You're goofy brain. Apparently, I've read a thing that single-dose, massive mushroom things help dementia. And that's from our health czar Brian Johnson. See this?

That's a new health jar. He's a new, Brian Johnson? Yeah, I thought he has an incurable disease. He's got a little bit of, he's got a little fucking autoimmune stuff. Dude, everyone has that. If anyone can figure it out, it's him. He's just going to now, he's going to dedicate all this time of money to curing whatever this is. You're talking about the guy who was drinking his child blood has a weird disease?

Yeah. Okay. But he's the guy who got that mushroom tank on that? Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson, here's the thing. yes, when he swapped blood serum with the sun, is that creepy optically? Yes, obviously that's a very, very fucking emeasy essence

of creepy to like, to actually like suck out your son's youth and inject it into your, it's from fairy tales. He did the mirror mirror on the wall. And instead of fucking giving a poison apple, he was like, yo, give me some of your genetic youth. Just, you have enough. Let me feed from you, boy.

Yes, that's very unappealing. I understand that. However, the thing I do like about him is he publishes all the he puts all of his money in his stuff and he's very seems pretty transparent about all of his findings So I I do again is is is optically Not the best that is I do appreciate it what he's doing He's doing youth genics on his son He's doing me genics But yeah, that's you know

That's a whole thing is he getting funding from people? He's just like his own money's work he's rich from tech shit So he took all of his tech though and he's becoming like a you know like a healthy vamp I love you he's doing healthy healthy vamp life which is a new it's a totally new thing yeah I like I like this new thing where like people make a bunch of money from like one tech

thing and then just do whatever they want for the rest of their lives like exactly yeah it's not like you know I have we have parallel interest me and me and fucking Brian Johnson but there's a part where I'm kind of like all right this is a little weird I'm obviously a son Max or he's not that's where we really disagree but the thing he did he got really

the son is banned yeah he wears an umbrella embarrassing but umbrellas umbrellas for rain are just like I I find that questionable enough for the sun is like bro come that's just for Asian ladies

and a pasty white weed lady that's if we're going to extend it Irish is unacceptable dude I took my burn like a man in the pool yesterday no sunscreen but yeah the

the thing Brian Johnson did is he took it's like mushrooms like big doses and hooked himself up to like state-of-the-art brain shit. And he's now he's taking his nerd brain onto the science of mushrooms and he's finding like, dude, these things are so good for like a lot of stuff that we're not using.

I was thinking about giving them a little micro and telling him like, you know, like a half a gram. Would he take it? Oh, yeah. My dad used to, my dad used to be a... He got dementia, mad. He won't know. I'll tell him and he'll be like, all right, Nathan.

He took him a shot, but he used to be a deadhead. Like, for real, for real, a deadhead. They're, like, might be why he fucking has the fucking shit going on now. He's a real deadhead. Yeah, he told me some story about, like, riding a motorcycle. He didn't know how to ride a motorcycle on ass it. Like, he used to be, if you met him, you wouldn't guess it. He comes off, like, a straight lace, like, just dude.

But usually the most far out guys, by the way. Yeah, like, yeah, yeah. Come off pretty straight lace, if I'm being honest. When he was younger, he went to Catholic school, too, and, like, all his homas were just like Italian dudes and I don't know he just became deadheads with them and he's so he he was like selling weed with he and I didn't believe in when he would first tell me but he did that dad thing where he would like tell it again like like it would never be it would just be like a story he told like the first time nothing's different like oh he really did that shit he just

wasn't trying to sound cool yeah no he's probably and also he probably was like yeah i would imagine he wouldn't try to just sound cool for his case probably like yeah yeah especially if he Yeah, being a deadhead back then must have... A black deadhead? Black deadhead is wild, dude. It was... And it was like, those dudes just, like, chomped LSD with no fucking clue what it was.

Yeah. That was... Apparently, that was him. Like, I don't... Black deadhead, all the white women you can fuck, dude. Bro, he went to Catholic school. When I was a... I don't mean...

Now, I don't be, like, hop up my dad, but... No, that is a buffet. That is a Snow Bunny Buffet. That is a Bunny Buff. I was at a... You know, you know, they had power. They had pals. Yeah, you're on with a pal, right?

I was at the pal for, like, a summer camp, and this lady found out about me, realized she knew my dad. She was a freshman when he was a senior. She brought in the yearbook, showed me the picture and was like, oh, she told me, it was like, all the girls used to like your dad.

And it was just like, hell yeah. Yeah, dude. He was probably the absolute girth monster of the dead lot. Of the dead lot in the 70s. He was an OG girth monster. Yeah, you gotta find out if he had like a hippie name Because a lot of those dudes did have like a Aalias that's really fun

dude, dude, they get like, I mean, they're, they get full tacon toys. They have, because they have, like, loaders. They have, like, excavators, loaders. Well, they don't use an excavator for the thing.

But they'll use, like, backos. Yeah. And just plow the driveway. They're so into maintenance. Yeah, okay. Grass, all that shit. So they might miss the winter if they go down. I think they would enjoy, my dad's a big fisherman.

He'll enjoy the fucking boats. He's a big pedal kayak guy. So he loves being on the smallest boat in the water and looking at all the big boats and being like, oh, fuck would you need that? Yeah. It's a fucking waste It's his favorite thing in the world The fuck is that

Dang, he didn't really? Yeah, he was working at the vet. Like the amvets? Such a beast death. Yeah. Then he had like a heart attack. It just like kept going. Fucking beat.

That is a fucking beast. It really is. I don't know a lawnmower is nasty. You know what kind of graft he was working? John Deer, brother. The green and yellow. Fuck, dude. I didn't know that.

That is such a beastly deck. It really is. Died with you love. Doing what you love. You just can't ride. Literally rode it to the sunset. I'm just praying he got to lower the deck. it'd be a shame if you didn't get to lower the deck

and just smell that grass one more time yeah I'm on right now I don't know I don't know when this is like hit me the other day I'm on a personal quest right now to make my mind better than the phone scroll so in any moment that I have mental downtime

that I initially it's like instinctively pull out the phone to scroll yeah I don't know when it just occurred to me I'm like dude that's such a fucking affront to my myself to be like my mind's not better it's like every time i scroll i'm like it's pointless this is dumb yeah then i'm going well i'm saying that's better than just like my mind i'm like i'm on a quest now to be like no my mind's better than the scroll i can find more entertainment in here i can find

more entertainment in my own brain i don't need the scroll and i've been off it i've been off the scroll my my screen time's down like two hours i was reading something that uh that was like saying that boredom is like good for your brain too we're trying so hard to not be bored like you're taking a dump phone you're doing you're doing and you're waiting at like i don't know what the doctor's foe and it was like boredom is good is like your brain is you're thinking about things you're you're you're you're getting better empathy you're doing all this other like i don't know dumb human shit not dumb human shit but like human shit that we don't do as much anymore because all of our downtime is like all right i got downtime

what's going well yes it's literally like subconscious processing that's why when they say like sleep on it like you you you're thinking about stuff then your brain goes offline and you wake up you're like oh you know that's why people figure that out that i think the boredom is like for me it's just like yeah it's just a sick part of the day it's like you're left alone with yourself and you have to like like they did back in like the day when you're out in like a field in like the 1700s you would just be like staring at the sky with nothing to do i feel like that's a good idea generation time that's when you kick out a sick idea or one leaps out of nowhere yeah this is the whole thing of just constantly pulling that out is just i don't know for some

i don't know when it happened i just got like sick of the idea i was like dude my brain is my brain's better than this Yeah, that's right. What am I doing? Why am I nagging my brain in mind as if, like, I need to watch people fall and argue. I love watching people fall. Why the people fall is so good. It is nice.

You don't need to, but then you see what? You're like, well, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I know. It is good. Again, it's not, not. My problem is I'll be bored, and then I'll scroll till I'm so bored of scrolling that then I'm somehow able to return to normal life. And I'm like, dude, I'm just going to cut it out.

I'm going to try my best to cut it out altogether. I do feel mentally drained after those long scrolls. Yeah, dude. Like, I can feel like something in the front of my head feels like tired. Like, I don't know, maybe dopamine or whatever. Your brain's literally going, it's so much fucking stimuli. Your brain is, it's not like you're going,

oh, I'm here and no, now I'm entertained. It's like a mentally taxing event. Did it constantly be like, uh, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and then to watch me like, why the fuck would they say that? It's kind of like a psychological assault. you know that's my whole point it's like dude it's the uh and it's like you have almost every single person tuning in did not everyone has different algorithms but it's like there's a part of your individuality that is like those quiet moments i think kind of make up

because you're in those moments you're going huh i never thought about this never thought about this but in all your quiet moments are replaced with almost like watching a commercial yeah it's going to be like it's got has this like bland uniform effect you put it like watching a fucking commercial that's kind of what you're doing you're watching a very very sophisticated commercial. Yeah. And it's, it's just like, you know, like a Pepsi commercial, although it's tied to like all the corporations

and they're just like keeping you in that like, I call it a negative flow state. And you're just in literally a negative flow state that like goes nowhere. And they're just sending you fucking bullshit. Anger horny. You know, somebody got hurt, so that's funny. Yeah.

That's awesome. Oh, someone you don't like. Yeah, has embarrassed themselves. Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah. You win. You win.

You win. No, I'm really am. I'm really working that out of being like, yeah, I need to, whatever I'm deficient in to make it so that I can't enjoy a quiet moment with myself. I'm going to actually take that head on rather than staring at my phone and continue to pacify myself into oblivion. That's nice. Do you think a book counts too?

Books are good. Books are good. Well, are they different than the phone? I'll tell you why. A book, you're taking on the spirit of the author. It's a transformative experience. You never once, you put it on a book, you can go, I've never once put down my scroll

and have been inspired in any way. The book, on the other hand, is you're commuting with people dead and alive on a very, very deep personal level. So I would say books, 100, this is my prescriptive action is you have to come up with actions that make time feel not like torture.

So books of constructive action, instrument, obviously, I think is a huge one, walks, talking to people, anything else than staring it from. I really think it's bad. Puzzles fantastic. Puzzles are great. I've been wanting shooting to be like my new hobby because I'm close to the range,

but it's like, buying bullets is so fucking. It's not like a cheap. You go like, all right, I'm just having a relaxing day. They're expensive, man. You drop 150 old bullets.

You're like, well, now I'm stressed out about these bullets. How much are bullets now? I haven't bought bullets. And depending on, because I have a nine and I have a, like a gun that shoots five, five, six. And the nine is not too bad.

But 5,56 is the one I want to shoot more. Yeah. Those are fucking, like a box, a decent box is like, I don't know, 150 or something. Like for like 150 of them, ends up being like 50, 70 bucks depending on. Yeah. I don't know. It's always like a different box size when I go to the range. So it's just like a different.

Well, you know what you could do. You can become a cop because then I think if you're a police officer, you go to the gun range there and they give you ammunition, you can just not use it all and you can stockpile it basically free. So I've heard. Steal from the government. But you're stockpiling, brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're the well-oiled militia that's going to protect this government, dude, so you deserve some fucking ammo, the taxpayers. I like it. I've been getting cop-pilled. What do you mean? Bad cop-pill or good cop-pill? No, it's just like a...

Ever since the Legos thing, it's really, like, exposed. And I've been watching, like, a lot of Midwest safety. And a lot of cop stuff, it's just, like, cops, they pick a person. And then they're like, that's the bad guy. even if it's not the bad guy. You know what I mean? I don't know.

I mean, sometimes, but I also think they have... And also, I feel like they work for the rich, too. I mean, definitely, dude. If you're rich, obviously, the cops are going to favor... If you, dude, if you donate to that, like, FOP shit, you could do whatever you want. If you're, like, for real or in there, like, actively donating to the police all the time, bro,

they're going to let you go for sure. The first car I ever had, I, uh, I feel like I never got pulled. over and what I did one time I was driving they were giving out like if you took gave a donation on the side of the road they were giving out these magnets that were I forget what it was but it was about like a cop who got killed it was like a it was like something and I slapped it on the back of the car and I just had it on there for years did I have my white acer when I knew you I don't when I had that car but never I never really and then and then somebody crashed it and I had the fop speaker my fiancee crashed my OG car and and uh and uh

At Stitcher's Comedy Club. At Stitcher's Comedy Club. Dang, somebody. Somebody crashed. We were like early date. I picked her up hammered. It was like, you drive the, you drive back. Crashed it in the parking lot.

I was. Dang. Well, here's also, Laverre, to your point, I mean, who do you think tortures cops more? Rich people or poor people? Poor people. I mean, but like they have, it's like,

it's like working at a McDonald's, you know? You know? Who's going to come? Yeah, true. But still. I mean, to be fair, they're getting tortured by poor people constantly. Yeah. It's just a matter of fact.

And obviously, you know, it's not only that, but it's like they're fucking torturing them, dude. Imagine, dude, just having to go into a domestic dispute, I would, I'd be crawling in my skin just because I don't, hey, I don't like being there or people are fighting. But then it's, you're around strangers. who are going at each other, the children are crying and you're in their house, after the 100th one, I'd be like,

man, I really can't stand those guys. I really dislike having to do that. That sucks so bad. They're both screaming at me now. That shit sucks so bad. Yeah. I would put that off, so I would be like,

yeah, I'll be, let me do something. The only time cops shit really irritates me is when they are doing shit for like quotas or, there was a

this doctor I think we might have talked about it before but it was like about the girls who got killed in Austin at the ice cream shop the dude who first like three dudes who got arrested for who have now like they're cleared

they got arrested because the detective who was interviewing and was really good at tricking people into being like the best thing for you to do that'll be like is to say you did it and we'll go from there and you won't get as bad time but so he's like tricking dudes who didn't do shit

to be like just say did it. It'll be okay. Yeah. And then they were like in jail, like their lives were ruined. That's, that's jerk stuff. That's the thing when cops, well, they get like, uh, uh, they get like career ambitious. So it's like, yeah, the more stuff they do, the better

it looks. It's, you know, they're just, they're not upholding. They're a true calling. Yeah. And that, and that shit is like ruining lives on the way. Like, I get it. Did this day does it too. Yeah. Attorneys do it too. They'll be like, hey, man, just it'll be better for you. And it, for them it's like, if they have a prosecution rate, that's high, that's all they care about. Yeah. So it's not about

justice. Yeah. We need to get back to justice. I think I'm going to become a justice cop after when this is all done. Justice cop will be nice, dude. Bro, I'm telling you, I, when Brittany was a cop, I was so close to becoming a cop. It's kind of, it's like as shitty as it is. I remember being like, you could make this chill.

Your husband-wife partners might be awesome. Dude, it's more than you think, and I think it's a disaster. Really? It's, yeah, there's either cops either marry, other cops or nurses. typically that's what I saw The cop nurse combo is like The fucking absolute age old Love affair

Yeah the cop sends him to her He's like I hurt this guy Patch him up man Pats him up but not too good You could make it a chill job for real But you said it would be You could you could But the thing is that sucks is

I didn't know this But a lot of times starting out You're on shift work So you can work the mornings For two weeks Then you're in the afternoons Then you're on the fucking graveyard And that shit sucks.

No, you can't never get a real sleep schedule. No, you're fucked. You're kind of fried all the time. So if you can avoid shift work, you need to walk in. You need connections. If you go in there of a sweet deal where it's like you're on the seven to two, you're off, that would be chill. But it's like, I think it's, I don't know. Seven to two, I'd be a bad seven to two cop because I'd catch a hangover day.

10 to four? 10 to four, I'd be great. Seven to two, you cast me on a hangover. I'd be like, you were speeding. You're going to fucking pay for this. Just say you did it, man. You'll be fine. You just fucking say you did it.

You know what sucks the most? Imagine if you just munch lunch. You haven't done shit all day. You eat a big fat. You eat a meatball sandwich. And then it's like, everybody, they hit you on the radio. And now you got to get out of your car

and full sprint after a guy who stole like a fucking pipe off a construction job. That's why they get heart attacks, man. Because they're just super stressed about it. Dude, they just munch. It's like a, dude, even a snake knows not to move after it ate. A bo-a-con-strick to nose a lay for like four days after he eats a fucking prey.

Dude, imagine munching fucking lunch. I'm thinking about it. Like, especially like... Four coffees deep, meatball sandwich. Now it's like, go. Your bowel, you're constipated now. He got to, you just, you just finish the hoggy. You're three fucking refreshers deep, Starbucks refreshers.

And now you're going to chase a guy. who might have a gun. You're like, it's fucked up. He better not let me catch him. He fucked up my digestion. The bliss of having just finished a big sandwich. Did you ever hear that statistic about, like, judges where, I guess when people have, like, their hearings, like, any sort of, like, hearing, like, you're trying to get parole or whatever.

If you catch the judge, like, a couple, like, he's close to his lunchtime, but he didn't have lunch yet, is like those dudes have the worst records of like getting out because they're grumpy like when they're they're little grumpy while they're dealing if you catch them like right after lunch you have a better shot of wow and I saw something that said that's a real statistic I didn't do research about it but it's like your honor before I present my case you hungry would you like a snickers true why wait I saved him my commissary you honor

I worked for 17 hours to get you this sneakers There's a back of peanut butter crackers. I could see that actually. I could definitely see the moon. As soon as I heard, I was like, oh, that makes so much fucking sense. Yeah, oh, dude, especially a lady judge. Come on. Come on.

Life sentence. You're cooked. Life sentence. You hear a lady. You're speeding in the construction zone. She missed lunch. You're doing three years. Fucking hard labor camp.

Why did you do that? I think this is a little redone. What? Your Honor, I think you might just be being overly emotional. Excuse me? Your Honor, is it by any chance your period? They should, for real. That's like a real thing.

That's a real concern. They should not be allowed to be judges on your- Decide fate? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I never even thought about that. That's unreasonable. It's crazy. We've gone to a little too far.

with a dude where's the statistical net there's gotta be what there's gotta be I'm you can't even study it because they'd be like what you want to please look that up that's got there's got to be something there's got to be something to that what is the

grock what is the period judge statistic dude I why you find that lamare I had a four we were talking 4th of July earlier we had an in my neighborhood, there was like a little, they did like a little thing where like, kids and whoever could like walk around,

I guess like a parade. Yeah. And, uh, you know, and it was, it was hot as fuck at, you know, as we know,

it was, huh? Dude, it was hot. It was like fucking hot as shit. So we were like, all right, we'll just like go to,

we knew where the end point was. Let's just chill, we'll do our thing. And then we go to the end point of the parade and we'll wait. Because then, like, they opened up this little building and they did face painting and all the shit. Yeah.

So I'll just wait for like the, the after party type thing on 4th of July this is like fucking when whatever was like 10 in the morning it's early so for 12 whatever it was but so we're like ready to go in it's like a crowd now every all the parade walkers are done they're waiting outside this building

and uh and it's like a decent little crowd yeah and there's like the faith ever the kids are excited there's face painting there's like cotton candy and shit inside so we're like waiting to go in and you know with all this like whenever there's like a free public thing you're always like oh this is nice yeah I always there's always weird politicians like low level politicians that come and they use it at they like hold you hostage to do their bullshit politician shit stuff just sit there and listen dude here's this is the weirdest part so I'm like all right excited I fall for it every time and I'm like oh of course here comes the fucking some guy who's a whatever cabinet chancellor bullshit so this is like guy starts talking and they I didn't realize they had a camera

and they're giving speeches, but they didn't have a real mic. They only had a road mic that hooked audio to the camera. So they were doing political content in front of a crowd, and nobody could hear them. So they're not like no projection.

They weren't even talking to us. They were using the visual of a crowd and being like what Fourth of July means to me, it was fucking pissing me off. No, that's so bad. That's so bad. On the day of Independence. Yeah.

On the 250th birthday, you're going to be. gonna make a fool of us? Oh, on two, I forgot it was if it was 250, I might have fucking I'm gonna dump something over.

I'm gonna flip the face paint into the fucking pond. Bro, it was 250. Dude, three of them or three or four of them did these fucking jerked off speeches. It,

it bothered me so much, dude. It was fucking so brutal. And it was like, nobody could hear them. Yeah, it was just for sure. And they go,

okay, hold on. They take it off, give it to the other guy. And they used the crowd almost as like a, yeah, man.

Look at my supporters. Look, I'm up to here. And it was like, you motherfucker, man. People are bringing out their kids to see me. And I'm not,

to hear my thoughts on the, she's like, dude, fucking open the face paint, get the fuck out of the way. Those politician guys would be so easy for them to be like, hey, I'm a,

if they were just had a slight sense of humor, like, hey, me, your local scumbag politician, just letting you guys know, get in there, it's going to be sick, happy 4th of July,

everybody. I would go, I remember that guy who was fucking normal. He was cool as hell. I have no other faces of these names, I'll fucking tack that guy on. Just be transparent, like, hey, I'm running

for office. Annoyingly, I have to just, like, get my face out there. Yeah. I know it sucks. Love you guys. Happy 4th of July. Let's get after the cotton candy. Hey, little kid, dude. You need to fucking ruffle little kid's head ruffle. You hit a little skimper. A little head ruffle. A little guy. A little guy, you got to get in there. A lot of the politicians can't kiss kids

anymore, though, I think. No, head ruffles. All you can do. Maybe, baby. Maybe, baby. But after, I think, I think the, like on another Epstein, all that shit has kind of been kissing the kids. No, you got to go full open mouth. Just a hickie on a baby. Man, that guy really loves

his constituents. You're so affront about it. It can't be that weird. It's like when a dog's corner of its mouth goes up. Whoa, sir. Yeah, I was just watching that being like, this is bad.

Yeah. It just sucked. It's like, dude, be fun. If you're a politician, if you're trying to attract attention first of all if and again maybe this isn't a YouTube maybe this is for their personal website but if which probably was a YouTube video do you really

fucking think anyone's going to watch a shitty speech it was like or dude be a fucking order dude get out there and project yeah fellow constituents like you guys might actually with your voice command attention that's good

like well they did have a crazy homeless lady who was there who was like their kind of like mascot for and she was rocketed dude she was, they had a marching band and she was just like yelling nonsense and moving around. I was like at least she's entertaining. Yeah. These guys were boring.

I was in the very front going boo. I kept fucking my kids being like boo. This is boring. What were they doing? They were just laughing. Like when we get a face man like once he's jerk off stop talking, you know, what's these jerked off low level

politicians shut up. We can finally get cotton candy and face paint. Oh, dude, I saw Britney at Jutes on Monday. Yeah, she was dropping, yeah. The little old jihitsu camp. My kids were kind of stoked on that. But dude, I was, oh, yeah. So then, yeah, we go in there and it was just like,

it was fucking annoying. Fourth of July, did rule, though. I was in a pool all day. It was fucking nasty as hell. Got to play horse, pool ball. But then Sunday, so I go to the farmer's market, and that's my, one of my favorite things around the week.

I like going to the farmer's market. I like, whenever there's a new vendor, I'm like, ooh, what's this? raw milk cheese yes please which by the way I'm gonna eat when I get home but the um

Farmac's coming dude I it was the I've been I don't know what it is so there's been I've been discovering just new freaks there's there's different

and this one guy I think was one of one I'm at the farmer's market I'm in line to get I was getting like figs and peaches or whatever so I'm in line to get that in a watermelon

I'm in line ready to get my produce it's fucking hot we all know it's hot outside it's hotter than they're saying it is That's a fair point. I think the weatherman might be lying to us. Yes. It's probably like 200 degrees right now.

I think it's 250 degrees. It's no way. It's only 98. Dude, I'm in line. We're all crammed in. And the lines at a farmer's market. I've already talked about this. Are annoying enough because everyone feels like they have to talk to the fucking vendor where they're like,

hey man, those peaches I had last week. And it's like, shut the fuck up. Buy your peaches, dude. We're in a thousand degrees in a line. Buy and fucking leave. But whatever, that's fine. I'm dealing with that. And I'm in line.

And there's this older guy behind me. You know, it's hot. We're all hot. And this guy goes, ha. Right in my fucking ear. And I go, come on, bro.

I'm looking ahead, like, that better have been one of, like, no more of those. Two minutes later, oh. And I turn around. I'm like,

bro, are you okay? You're moaning in my, we're all hot. This is disgusting. How old did he look? He wasn't old enough to be. He was like maybe my dad's age. Okay, okay.

It's where it's like, dude, this is crazy behavior right now. Yeah, you're not dying. Get out of the heat. No, yeah, just fucking move, dude. Get out of here. You can't get peaches this week. You're going to die. Did you hear about Big Boy?

No. It was this train. It was this train that was going through like all like PA, like an old train that people were really excited to see. like an old freight train and they're all out there waiting just waiting for just to drive past but it was so fucking hot in PA

that like 150 people went down for the heat exhausts. Mid train? Like they were not on it. They're just standing at the side of the tracks waiting for it to drive past. It was just like a thousand autistic people. There were so many people watching his train.

Oh, these were just train enthusiasts. He was just enthusiasts. Over a hundred of them went down. See the big boy. Just to see the big boy. No deaths, no deaths. Three, three, 30 hospitalizations in like a hundred plus EMT, like, needed to help. So their butt got as sweaty as a kid.

Who waited for the trade? Like, like, passing out the big boy is so fucking funny. It's just the loud freight trade. It's nothing else. It doesn't shoot off fireworks when it comes past. Oh, my God. It rides. passes stops for a little and it keeps going.

On Pandy's this week, we were like it was Big Boy Mania. I mean, giving it all, leaving it all in the field for Big Boys, nice. Like, I know I left it all on the tracks. I wish to the maximum amount of heat for Big Boy. And me and 100 other biggest nerds ever

is fucking passed out. Like, imagine dying like that. That might be something I would walk away from my kid. If my kid's passed out waiting for Big Boy, I would just quietly turn heel and fucking get in my car and drop away.

I'm like, I don't want to do this anymore. I fucking getting passed out for Big Boy. I raised the bell. Fat autistic son. One arm across the shoulder like fucking Vietnam and just walking back to your car. I'm like, come on.

The Big Boy passed, yeah, he passed. It was beautiful. You saw it. Oh, man. Passing out and missing Big Boy? Is it Big Boy? I didn't even think about that.

This is final words. Did I see Big Boy dance? Yeah, they had a red, white, and blue banner on the front of the grill. It was beautiful, son. You saw it. You saw it. You saw it. You saw it.

You saw it. You saw it. It is a pretty nice train, though. When we saw it... I mean, to be honest, I would... Any of us could pass out looking at Big Bois. Especially when it's 300 degrees outside. You dressed for 100 and 10, and it was 340 degrees.

I mean, just the... I mean, it is the palest leg. just also like central PA imagine the flashbang because if your kids gone down you're probably close

yeah and you're just walking through a field of passed out autis the train horns like where am I

this goddamn d-day how is there no snack bar where's a concession stand there was none of that

you're getting hell of back to a quick stop right now I wish I knew about the battle. I not see the big boy fallout. Apparently. Apparently, Maldani's against the fucking autists right now

because he did the air conditioning. He, like, tried to have it so people couldn't have their air conditioning below 78 degrees or 74, whatever the fuck it was. Because they were expecting outages because they were in a massive heat wave. So I think he did, you know, try to get into some like cool socialism. Like, come on, guys, let's all, let's all be the same temperature.

Isn't that? Wouldn't that be cool for all the same exact temperature guys? And already people are like, fuck you. Yeah, it's hot as shit. I'm going to 73. And also, to be fair, that's like, give me liberty or give me death. It's like, give me 72 degrees or give me blackout. I'd rather be hot and sweltering and just like a complete electrical blackout.

They'd be like, oops, the governor said, or whoever said, the mayor said I can go below this thing. house. That's the one thing to do that because if it blacks out, you're like, well, everybody was under 74. Yeah. Imagine you had Jersey for your hottest shit and it's still blacks out.

And you go to your neighbor's house around 73 and you're going, bro, mayor's orders. He goes, what are you going to tell you, bitch? Now, would you be pissed if you went to your neighbor's house and they were on 68? Well, this was the big thing. The thing I saw was that I think, I think Taylor Swift either had or was planning to have a

concert or not a concert, a wedding. Yeah, yeah. With her beloved. Yeah, she had it. Chelsea, she had it. And they were going, I bet that wasn't 74 degrees. It's like, yeah, be fucking, of course it wasn't, dude. Yeah, yeah.

She rented out MSG. Also, I, again, it's like, I'm not, like, a huge proponents of the rights of billionaires, but this whole thing of being, like, the billionaires. It's like, yeah, they're fucking billionaires. Yeah, they're going to do it. They're not going to be, all the shit you're worried about has, just stopped making it seem like it'll ever have anything to do with them. They're financial mutants.

Yeah. They're not going to be. like, well, we're going to turn down our thermostats. It's like, no. They're billionaires. It's like, I get why you're mad, but it's like be real. Yeah. You're not going to be like, well,

do it billionaire. That's why they have a billion dollars. They're going to be like, hey, fucking turn off their shit. Yeah. They can do that. That's what happens when you're a fucking billionaire. I don't know. It's not a welcome take, but it's like stop comparing yourself. It's just, it's just, it is one of those

it is what it is kind of thing. It's like, it completely is. Yeah, it's like me at least free yourself for the mental burden by being like, I bet Taylor Swift's wedding was. Yeah, it fucking was, dude. She's a billionaire. She had a comfortable wedding in Madison Square Garden. Stop wasting your time worrying about that shit. Yeah, you're never going to get anywhere that way.

I've tried to have that a similar conversation with my mom about politics. Exactly. Like, it doesn't matter. Your oldest shit. Like, just relax. You're mad about this. It's a sad thing to get mad about. That's exactly.

I've said it to all. Like, it bums me out how much time. you spend thinking about this. You're going to die one day, lady. You have a mayor telling you to control your thermostat. You think she feels the same way with you about aliens? I don't talk to her about you. I'm not going to be like, mom, have you heard about the aliens?

It is funny to calm her down about the news and make now about these aliens. What's Nathan? But the die. That's the thing too. It's like, I don't know. It's just you read all the shit and it's like, there is, there's the other aspect where it's like, you know,

if we're going into a future of super hot, super cool socialism, which we might be, of just babes being like, let's all come together as one and turn down our thermostats. It's like, yeah, maybe there's a, there's a cool community aspect in that. But first of all, it's like, I know people are cheating, dude. Yeah.

I know people are going, well, I have fucking, do, do, do, whatever. Have you been getting the Austin Energy texts? No. I've been getting the text from Austin Energy that's like, we're expecting higher because of the heat. here like they're getting the same thing like maybe below when your electricity they don't get specific about like the temperatures but

they are like they're big be conscious of it be conscious of your the electric you're using during the day to do man you're about to get a data center a thousand dollar bill I know right it's gonna be crazy do we have them here now there's data centers in Texas I don't really in Austin yeah but there's some like outside like and they're jacking up the electrical bills yeah yeah for everybody because they're using so much electrical that then become so in demand that they can raise their prices and they're kind of Kind of on the electrical companies, dude. It's on the electric companies.

And the data centers are, like, lying about how they're, how much electricity they're going to use, too. I think that sucks. So it's in these, like, lowly pop. They put them in lowly populated places, which are usually not a lot of money there too. So you just get a person making, you know, $40,000 a year who. And then they're Bill Skyrockets. My thing is, why doesn't the utility company take the W and say, cool, we're now selling more gigawatts, whatever the fuck they're called?

Well, there's this one company that, like, stopped. It stopped giving power to people. It's going to stop giving power to people and just for the power to the people. It's going to stop. It's taking away to power from the people. They're literal power? Yeah. It's literally taking the power away from the people.

Is that true? Yeah, and like Mount Vernon, California or something. Hold on, but they're just not going to have electricity now. I don't find that hard to believe. They're just going to have to get another company to come, like, support the town. I find that that strikes me a sensational. I don't know. Maybe that's true.

Again. Because like, dude, think about it. If the people can't afford it and the company with all the tax breaks can afford it, you're going to go. You're just going to give all your electrical to the company? Yeah. Dude, I'm sorry. Dude, if you were one day, they were like, bro, yeah, we would not give you electric. That would suck.

That sucks. I would be fucking livid if they're like. I was trying to find it. I don't know. Dude, you're kind of, you got to kind of like do something if you want electricity. It's like, come on, man. What the fuck? I was asking for a little bit of juice here.

You're trying to power my switch and watch some TV. You want to build a goddamn generator? I find that. So I highly doubt that's true. I'll be honest. There's no way. Find that story. I need to see if that's actually true.

But the Mom Dani thing's making me laugh. I have a... I'm just curious to watch that all play out. There's the thing. I'll be honest. If that worked, if he somehow united the entire city of New York in some very kind,

compassionate, thoughtful manner that works for all. That's amazing. There's no track record of ever, really, people ever getting away with that and doing it without that devolving into the people in power becoming absolute fucking psychopaths. Yeah, like, wow, I'm controlling everybody. Yeah.

Yeah, I just don't, you know, I don't see that working out. But we'll see. In the meantime, in New York City, don't touch that fucking thermostat. You think the plane... I will tell. Like his people, he'll say everybody do it, but he knows his supporters will be like, Mandani said, so they'll do it in that half or however many is enough to kind of be like,

all right, we fucking, we got the dumb, we got the dumb ass half. What do you, wait, do you mean like? Like, the people who voted for him who were like super Mondani supporters, like say he gets that, like a small portion of that group, which says like one-tenth of the population of New York to actually do it. He's saying it to everybody, but they are like, there's no fucking way everybody's going to do it, but that one-tenth is enough. You know what I mean?

Like, almost like you're tricking the people. like everybody do this and he's like no way everybody's gonna fucking do this maybe i i personally i think it could be and again i don't i don't know if it's uh if it's this deep but i maybe it could be one of those like they call it the totalitarian tiptoe where it's like hey everybody turn your fucking air down and see if you can get them to do little by little see how much control you really have then they start putting a monitor on your shit i wonder because they could probably measure in watts how affect how much people are actually listening to them which is kind of creepy to be like let's measure the electrical output

and see if people are fake. 100% with AI now. 100%. You can, like, look in people's house with Wi-Fi. Probably, yeah. No, you can. No, I've seen that. Yeah, you can.

Like, the signal bounces off the walls, and then, like, it hits anything that's interfering the signal, and it can, like, tell you what's in the room. Whoa, it's kind of sick. Yeah. It's crazy. Like, I think the government can, like, military can, like, do that. Like, look in, they can see everything in this room,

like, us sitting here being fat. I don't know if our, I don't know if it's, I don't know if it's bouncing off of our penis. I don't know if they can see that. like, well, it's just like your clothes outline. I spend a decent amount of time in here naked, to be honest. If I, like, walk or work out, I'm sweaty. And then I come in here and I throw my clothes in that washing machine.

And I usually get a shower and I'll just sit here. Just wait. Wait in for my clothes. My clothes are just in the process of being taken care of. They're being washed. I found the story. It says, what's the scoop? Envy Energy, the Nevada utility company has supplied most of Lake Tiles' electricity for decades.

It has informed Lake Tahoe's Liberty Utilities that it intends to, that intends to will stop delivering power to the region that it will stop delivering power to the region sometime after May 2027, forcing the provider responsible for serving 50K area residences scramble for a replacement energy source. So they're going to have a new place to step in? But because they're giving all of their energy

to the data centers because up in North Vegas is where they're building the most data centers. Yush. Okay. So then they have to, dang, they're not even hooking them up with like, here are these guys will switch.

you're over. Yeah. You got to find a new guy by May 2027. That's not a little bit of people. 50,000. A lot of fucking people. That doesn't even make some. So my thing is that electric is attached to an infrastructure. Yeah. So you can't just be like, unless somebody, someone must have taken that over.

No, I think they're saying someone's going to have to take it over. I don't think you can legally do that as an electrical power. They're doing it. Man, they must be paying so much. Yeah, it must be giving Trump money. Yeah, true. Trump 2.0 is not going down favorably. Let a lot of people do.

Not a lot of people are going down favor. Even the FIFA thing was interesting, too. Step in and reverse the red card. Oh, I, did they actually reverse it in counter? So, way after the game happened, they ended up reversing it? So the dude got a red card in one game. He was kicked out of that game.

And then he was supposed to be suspended for the Belgium game. And apparently, I don't know if it's true, Trump knows the guy from FIFA somehow, which I'm curious how he knows him. Correct. It almost strikes me as like, you might have some dirt on the guy. The FIFA guy? Well, the FIFA guy reversed. Apparently, I didn't realize that's never been done before. Like reverse or appealing the red card suspension.

Yeah. They somehow did it and got it done. So then that player was allowed to play in the Team USA game against Belgium, which they just lost anyway. Yeah. Damn. So. The international community was fucking livid about that. But now England's going for a red card appeal.

Yeah. So England's like, fuck you. If you let them do it, we can do it. Got them. Just give it to them. It's so sick America of ruin the World Cup. Isn't England window? But I think someone got a red card and they battle against Mexico.

So then there will be suspended for the next game. And England's being like, yo, fuck this. Yeah. There's a lot of sad people walking down the street on a... Mexico game? Yeah. Those jerseys are sick, though. They are.

They are. They're fired. They're very sick. You know what? There was no sad Americans. When we lost, everybody seemed relieved. Yeah, I was at a bar and everybody was like, oh, that sucks. Hot take, soccer is a minor league sport.

It's literally a minor. It's the Philadelphia Phantoms, dude. I'm stoked. People are excited about it, but it's genuinely World Cup is minor league. It just is, too. It was fun for a little bit, knowing other countries were like, getting to watch us be dickheads though like it's their favorite time of like

the center of the decade yeah and it's just us with like red white blue face paint yellow USA being mid it's just it's they're like you guys aren't even that good shut the fuck up dude it's like if the Philadelphia phantoms went and played abroad

and like yeah they got fourth place in a global tournament you go cool yeah nice cool kind of did better than we thought yeah great I'm glad everyone had fun man that's a good thing I'm glad everyone got there and gave it the best. The, what you can call it? The, what the hell is going to say?

People, apparently the, you know, everyone abroad is like America sucks. Apparently the World Cup was a giant, it was a big leg up for like the image of America abroad because everyone was all the shit was going back where everyone was like, this plays rules. I don't know. Everyone's saying America sucks.

Everyone's assholes. But all these people from all over the world were like, it's country fucking rules. Yeah. They got to experience it. But the Trump reversal, I think, erased some of that good. will where they're like, I knew it.

They think they can do whatever they want. First of all, we did. We literally can. Like the revert, which, again, I don't know how they did that. But that was like, you know, but that, uh, yeah, I'm glad everyone's enjoying the World Cup. It's fun. It's fun to watch.

But again, it's losing is kind of like, whatever, guys. We won. We made all that money. All our businesses thrived during the World Cup. Yeah. It's been great for us. We looked great during it. I've been enjoying watching like,

foreign people try our foods. Yeah, ranch is a big one, apparently. Ranch? Yeah, apparently there's a lot of videos. Foreigners trying ranch and being like, what the fuck is this shit? I've seen good ones of barbecue. Like, they're trying barbecue and them being, like, grabbing one of them big ribs and just being like, holy shit.

Taking a bite and being like, oh, man, I'm not coming back. I'm not going back to where I'm from. American cow, very big cow. Yeah. So when they're just in Philly, they're yelling, I just go, good birds, and like a dumb accent. just like, I mean, dude, it really is. It's, uh, it's sick to let people come here and be like, yeah, this place actually kind of does rule. Yeah.

Let's stop being haters for a second and be like, this place kind of fucking rocks. We have our problems, obviously, but like, it fucking rocks, dude. Undeniable dope. It rocks, you know, it sucks. The town got fucking completely unplugged. Sucks. That sucks. I'm sorry.

There are places where the coolest thing to do is go see a big train drive pass. and that kind of sucks But No that's good One of them was in Redding Like where I'm from I'm not even like that That strikes me as a big train town

To be honest We're on the we're on the monopoly board We're on the train We're the Redding Railroad That's us Oh shit! It's us I didn't think about it It was a railroad doesn't run anymore

I think it was like a big deal Because it came back through Where it didn't want For my whole life Yeah that's fucking Redding no surprise That's probably why I had the association It was from there

Yeah I think we did Let's switch over We might even, we'll just jam this up and maybe cut it in half, LeMah. Let's just keep rocking, man. Keep rolling. Hell you. Let me pee real quick.

I have to pee. Yep. Watch new episodes of Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast on Spotify. Do it.
