it's Quarators back again they said we were we were gone they said we were out the picture I'd like you to never be another Quarators check the frame because the Quarators is back It's America's favorite Quora-based podcast with Alex and Jeremy. Yo, what's up, dude? Hey, what is going on? You're going to have fun editing this, Alex. We're not in the same frame. Oh, yeah.

We talk a bunch in this intro right here. We are trying new and exciting things with camera, which I know none of you are aware of as you all just listened to the show. It's called cinema. Worth mentioning again, in case you didn't know, it's also on YouTube. It is on YouTube. And we're almost at like... We're almost at 5K, which I'm very excited about.

Do we get another plaque for that? Are they going to mail us another plaque? You get a plaque every 20 listeners. I'm running out of space for these plaques. But we have some very exciting guests for you today. And these are veterans. So I'd like you to stand up and put your hand over your hearts when you hear their voices. These are veterans of the podcasting industry, which I believe is the standard use of the term.

Braver than the troops. Please welcome. They're from different shows. And they have different hoes. Hey, I'm sorry. Let's just take them again. Veterans. No, I think we're keeping the hoes, but...

Also, I'm Jeremy, and this is Alex. Yes, yes. Andersley and AP Andy are here. Hello. Hi, I'm also known as Andy Gitlitz. I didn't know if you had changed that. Even the anti-finalisters don't know that I'm AP Andy anymore. Fuck, dude.

Sorry. That was your code name? Yeah. I did wonder what Alex said, but I didn't know it. It was like a best show reference that no one picked up on because we have a communist podcast. I just assumed you were advanced placement in some kind of nerds program.

Yeah, a podcaster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was associate producer, Andy. I am Anders J. Lee here, actually. Oh, okay. Are you using the J? It's a new thing. Yeah, it was my New Year's resolution.

I do really like it. Thank you. What does it stand for? James McGrain. Oh, wow. That's a lot. Yeah, it's too much. It could be JM, but JM is...

Wait, your middle name is James McGrain? Like one word? Two words, but yeah, one guy. who I'm named after just the middle part. Can I just call you James McGrane? Yeah, I thought about going by that. That's a cool name. Yeah, what's that?

What did he do? What's his deal? He was a New York City police officer and also my grandfather. Oh, okay, okay. I thought the way you said it. He killed a lot of people. Get the fuck out of here. He's on the wrong side of a lot of different events.

The way you said it, to me, it sounded like it was a guy your parents admired. Like, my middle name is Jeremy Dr. Seuss Kaplowitz or something. There was some admiration, yeah. Okay, well, sure, but he's your grandpa. Yeah, they kind of obligated to him. They have to. Buried the little.

Yeah, which, by the way, I am somewhat disappointed you didn't pick up the theme song I sent you guys. Oh, yeah. Operatic. What happened to that? Well, that's just already a song. Bryn made us a new song. Did you actually send us a song?

No. Oh, okay. Because the way Alex said it, I was like, you might have just not told me Anders said something. Well, it's like he sang it, and I was like, I know that song. It's a different song. But it would be a great one-to-one sort of take.

I know your tricks, James McRain. You watch yourself. I'm so excited to have an NYPD officer on the podcast. Yes, a veteran and active duty NYPD officer, Anders James McRain. Well, that was the worst intro I've ever done. I'm excited to get him to the show. We have a lot of good stuff for you this week.

We're adding segments, and we're tackling things from a podcasting perspective, which is new in America. Now, I've talked to both of you about what you would like to discuss on Quora. You're both familiar with the Quora website. I get emails. You get the emails. You've sent me those emails before. All over the place.

A lot of superhero-based emails. Who would be who? A lot of can you score this point in American football type of stuff. I haven't used your submissions because they are very superhero or could you score a point based. Sometimes there's like a weird, like, I snuck into my in-law's house and stole their melatonin. Is that okay?

Stuff like that. Occasionally I get a weird one. And how would Batman handle that? Yes. The world's greatest detective. Could Deadpool score one point in football? He absolutely could. He cannot die.

Yeah, he would hold Roger Goodell hostage and make them change the rules. Has Deadpool ever met Wolverine? No. Great. I'm sure it's happened. I haven't seen the movie. I think they did.

I don't think they did. Wouldn't it be a great twist if they never meet in the movie? And they're just ships in the night. Deadpool and Wolverine. Waiting for Deadpool. I've only seen the, they have like a turn off your cell phone bumper before movies with Deadpool and Wolverine

where Wolverine says a bunch of curse words that are beeped out, and I'm pretty sure one of the words that's beeped out is the F-A slur. Really? That's a word I canonically hear Wolverine say. He's like from the 60s or whatever. No, he's like really old, right?

Isn't he like 250 years old or something like that? Yeah, he says all of them. But he also seems like he could be closeted. I could see that. Really? Then he says it more than anyone. Then it's okay for him to say it, actually. Him and the Pope.

Yeah. It's really cool when Wolverine says the F-slur. It slays when he does that. That's right. But unrelated, Andrew's interests are sports, superheroes, and crime. And so they haven't all come up on the show necessarily. Andy, do you know Quora? I've only clicked on it hoping it would help,

and I immediately find it sucks, and I leave and go to Reddit, which is usually more helpful. That's a sober assessment. I think less helpful Reddit is a great elevator pitch for the website. Yeah, I don't know who you're pitching it to, but what you're saying. It's like, wait, but worse. I wonder if there's been any Trotskyism questions on Quora. That's what I suggested.

Yeah, okay, so Andy did, he was like, we should investigate Marxist analysis on Quora, but I do counter with, I don't think that's on here. They seem like they are just operating at an earlier stage of a cultural discourse than we are on now, and i i also think it's just kind of like home base for chuds it would also be really boring for me to be like well this curator is a little confused jerry healy was actually part of the swp in the united states not in the uk yeah right right really boring i'm afraid of getting bogged

down with jerry healy lore as well so for those two reasons that doesn't come up but we are going to tackle the uh the other suggestions that we took here today now we got a very interesting uh a tidbit from one of our listeners this week and that is that earlier on the show we were reading a report from a uh a u.s general yeah i don't remember which episode this was in but apparently it might have been when we changed my um bona fides to u.s admiral on quora but uh there's like an actual general on here whose name is carter ham and i would like to profile him as our profile of the week, and we'll fit that into our new recurring

segment that we're trying to do more, which is Space of the Week. Space of the Week! It is good. I think that's good. It came out really well. It's growing on me. Who made that? Was that in the machine? That's in the machine. It came with

that. Oh, cool. They come with a lot of these guitar riffs and little The gadgets are out of control today. If you buy a RODECaster, it has Alex's voice in it. It's just kind of built in. The robots have stolen my voice. But this is U.S. General Carter Ham and his space, Carter Ham Space. And we've investigated.

He is certified. This guy's real. Oh, he's real. Carter Ham? He has a Wikipedia page. Commanding General in the Libya Operation, 2011. Good job, Carter Ham. Yeah, way to go.

He led Operation Odyssey Dawn. Okay, if any Quora users want to find out how to not do a military operation, let's print from Mr. Ham. How do I bring Gaddafi back to life? Benghazi survivor Ham. That's the thing. Okay, so looking into this, because I was very excited that there's a U.S. general on Quora. A, the profiles I was finding from him don't seem to have a lot of questions.

There's one question from the first account I found, which is Jenner Ham, not General, Jenner. I put it on the doc, Jeremy, if you want to pull up the doc. Sure. But there's one question, and why don't you read to me what that is? Why are blacks not accepted as whites are? That's the only question. That he asked, to be clear. By General Carter Ham, retired Army general.

One answer on that. There's a few profiles claiming to be him, and I think he might have just been like Benghazi famous, and now people are like, wow, Carter Ham is me for real. You don't think it's actually him? Because I have a question for him, actually. I don't know. The other account seems more likely to be him.

That one seems like a guy pretending he's Carter Ham for clout. Hmm, okay. There's one answer on this, by the way. Carter Sham. Carter Sham, correct. Someone says, fear, which can breed all kinds of dreadful behavior. Please note, this does not apply to little children who tend to have pure, more loving hearts. That's why our blacks are not as accepted as whites are.

Yes. Because of fear. Yes. I can see him asking this because there's a good chance the only black person he's ever encountered is Colin Powell. And if you're in the U.S. military or Republicans, that's the model human being. And why are more people fans of this kind of guy? Now, I would love to yes and this, except it seemed like he was in charge in Libya for a while. I assume he met anybody.

Just going to say, that is Northern Africa, just to be clear. But there's a lot of black workers there. Fair enough. And they are not accepted as they are the Libyans. You know, I've never been and I've got to go. I want to ask this kind of question, actually, because there's a 90s movie, you know what I'm talking about? where they predict Benghazi 2011. Somebody actually says,

I know who you are. It's like a future movie. And somebody's like, I know who you are. You were at Benghazi 2011. Bill and Ted's bogus journey. Was it 12 monkeys? I'm going to have to...

I know. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Was it Barbed Wire or something? No, it's something in that vein. I'll look it up. This is a dream you had, Doug. No, it's true.

And I want to ask General Ham about it. I'm going to re-watch Barbed Wire just to be sure. Did you guys see that Friends episode where they predicted 9-11? They knew Hillary Clinton was going to get up to some stuff? How did we end up reading something from this guy? He has no core presence as far as we can tell.

Well, because I think he must have answered something or another person pretending to be him because now there's General Carter Shams, people who pretend to be him. Do you think that he deleted his account or something, though? Because this guy only has two answers. I don't know. so this is another general carter ham account what's in this one this guy's answered two

questions one of them is my dream in life is to work with uh for poor people children old people basically everybody who needs help my plan is to first make crazy money and then use it to end my efforts to help those people is it a good plan that's military jargon gives like a whole answer about how to do that um and he says kill a bunch of iraqis that's not right that's not how you help people uh and then he says he answered a question um is it true that u.s soldiers can't make video calls while in camp and he has a story about that that does seem something like a general would know yeah i guess i don't know can i say that general ham is a great fake american general sure yeah yeah that sounds like a european satire or something commodore burger unleash the missile

i mean in virginia this guy must be very popular because that's like the state I actually thought Because I lived in Virginia as a kid So for a while I thought I just saw ham everywhere You get ham vision Any of our listeners in Virginia know you get ham vision down there I thought until I was in my 20s

That the ginger you put on sushi Sometimes it's pink I thought that was ham Being Virginia pilled It's part of the Do other states have a state ham? Or a state meat? Or is that just Virginia?

I'm sure Pennsylvania, Turkey maybe That would be my guess. By the way, sorry to interject, No Escape 1994, which with Ray Liotta, takes place in 2022, and they predict Benghazi 2011. They predict Benghazi before it happens. Yes. Starring General Ham.

I can't find any information about any other state having a state B, but good for Virginia. In Virginia, they think ginger is ham. We have to move on. All right, good for them. There's no way to prove that or disprove it. Virginia is the Spain of America. Jamal.

Well, that brings us on to our next segment here. We were thinking about retiring this one because people have been listening in. We didn't know if they were getting sick of it. This was originally deployed as a cynical ploy to get new likes and subscribers on YouTube.com, the dopest website for teens. But, of course, we are back on our advice segment, the weekly recurring tips for men. All right, I forget what it was, but didn't one of you fuckers have a tip for Ben?

I always do. Oh, it was the cold sore thing. Yeah, well, that's for everybody, regardless of gender identity. Well, we just didn't want to dox any particular people who happen to be dealing with cold sores right now. We don't want to expose them as having kissed a rail. But I learned this a couple years ago,

because I get cold sores. uh i feel them coming on and once you feel them come on coming on it's like there's no escape like the movie what am i ray leota here i'm getting a cold sore no way yeah it's the benghazi one yes um no escape 1994 i discovered that you can just take lysine when you feel the cold sore coming on and it just stops it in its tracks it's like no it bounces it basically out of your fucking face what is lysine it's a chemical um you put it right on there you eat it you eat uh I take it as like a little vitamin, but I think you could probably rub it on.

I already take a lot of vitamins anyway, so. And that's the Virginia State chemical, right? Don't answer that. That would be probably napalm. Yeah, that would be napalm or meth, probably. My tip for men is, I know the summer's ending, but you can get like a little hand towel you keep on you all the time.

And that way, if you make a hog out of yourself biking down the lane, and you can dust off a bit before you get where you're going. You can use the hand towel. Cool. How often do you got to wash that thing, though? You wash it with your own body. It cleans itself.

My wife has given me one of these on several occasions, and I go, I'll never remember to bring this. I'm not going to use that. I'm going to smell bad when I go places. See, I should have one of those probably, but it would get really gross quick. I biked here today, and I immediately just took all of Jeremy's paper towels and napkins

and just coated them all over my torso. And now I'm nice and dry, but I guess. You look good. Thank you. You never know. Amazing what a napkin will do. It's amazing what a napkin. I was trying to think of a napkin brand, and my brain just blanked

because I don't think there are any big ones anymore. Shout out to napkins. Andy, do you have any tips? I mean, I feel like I can use both of these tips because since the cold sores came up, I've been sweating. That's good stuff. Well played, sir. My tip is learn to read.

I think it's a helpful skill. Because books are cool, but also like signs. If you don't know how to read, it's really good to do. Oh, yeah, for sure. Train your brain with a good book. Well, that's been our this week's Tips for Men. Tips for Men! It's a podcast.

It's for men is a podcast. Great. Now, we must go to Quora.com. Let's read some Quora. Do you want to read our Quora from last week? Yes. Now, last week was the live show. Yeah, we skipped this segment.

So, we skipped it because it's fucking dead air when you're live in the set. Yeah, we don't need to do that. When you're in the fucking booth with T-Pain. How many people were at that show who had never heard our podcast? We didn't need to ask them. Hundreds, if not thousands. Could you use invisibility to escape a lion? Oh.

Invisibility to escape a lion. Could you? I think that'd be tough because they have very strong sense. If you look at their nostrils, whiskers all over the place, they can sense things with their nose. They could smell you out, but they still have sight, so they'd be confused by the lack of you in front of them. I think it would be a lion's delight to tackle an invisible Jeremy. I agree with that. I don't know why it's me against the lion, but...

Because you've converted to Christianity, and you're in the Roman Coliseum. Is that a thing that you can do as a Christian? You can turn invisible through the power of God. Is that what I've been missing out on this whole time? You know what, I got caught up on facing a lion and then forgot about the invisibility part. If you do the cross thing, do you turn invisible? Is that what that is?

In this narrative, you convert, and the sheer miracle of that, after all of my ushering, God shines his light on you, making you invisible, trying to save you from this lion. It doesn't work, and it tears you limb from limb. Oh, my God, that's awful. I did get a T-shirt when I was a teenager from somebody that said and it took me a few minutes

to get it, but it said this is in the Bush era atheism. It's like the cool edgy thing to be. Still is, babe. And the t-shirt said so many Christians, not enough lions. I love that.

I was too scared to wear it around. I don't want to say that you should get eaten. You wear that in Virginia, they're going to turn you into ham. The state meat, if you were unaware. I don't want to try some lion ham. I wonder if that's any good. I don't think it's called ham.

In Virginia, that's what they call all meat. Sort of like how they call all soda coke. They make turkey ham. I'm just saying. They take turkey, they pretend it's ham, they season it, and maybe you could do that with lion. Canadian bacon, yeah. Seems like a stretch to me.

Did we get any fucking answers on the invisibility lion question? That's from a listener. That's from a listener. Remember, if you're a listener, you have to put the term scrambled eggs so we know that we shouldn't read your thing. There's a picture of a lion holding a crown in its mouth. And that's if you don't want to be humiliated by your acidic wit. Yeah.

Well, that's the thing is sometimes they write in and they don't put in the code word, which is scrambled eggs. And then we tear them limb from limb, kind of Christian lion style. Yeah. Well, the lion's not Christian unless it's as lion. I mean, maybe it is Christian. It's like this is how I get closer to God is by eating one of the holy people. And then all right. You know, it's like Catholics eat the wafer type of thing.

Sure. Yeah. Much like Catholics eat a wafer. Christian lions can devour believers to increase their faith. That's how Aslan was born. This is how they started using the wafer because it's like, can you stop eating us, please? I have an improvement over human sacrifice. Donald says probably.

Lions have powerful senses of hearing and sense, but they're primarily visual hunters. Yo. So they are very visual, though. So maybe you could get away with it. They have beautiful eyes. I will say that. I think if you're far enough away from them,

they might smell you, but they probably wouldn't be able to get you down without being able to see you. And then someone else says it would depend on the direction and strength of the wind and how long it was. How long ago it was since your last bath. Okay. Don't bike to Jeremy's and then try to escape a lion.

Don't even think about it, actually. Don't even think about it. Well, that was last week's question. Thank you for writing in. We have a direct message. Do I want to read what it is? Oh, it's from Mark Vor. Oh, he just says, bro.

Yeah, because we messaged him, and now he's wondering why we're not talking to him. There's a guy named Mark Vor who loves Vor and mostly posts pictures of potentially his nude body. And we did comment on one of his things saying, we like Vor. And now he's like, yo. Yeah, he really wants to talk to us.

It's a genre of internet pornography. Yeah, it's eating-based. Yeah, it's like getting eaten. Okay. No, it's not eating food. It's eating living people. Yep. Cannibalism?

Oh, this guy wanted to swallow an eel. We can't really get into it. Yeah, I thought the flash was like you eat small animals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you guys on there as the Quarriators? We were on there as just Alex Patak, but then Jeremy started messaging Mark Vore, so we had to change that.

I will say that me and maybe even some listeners think it was a bad idea. I think it was a very important idea, which is better than a good idea. I liked that it said Alex Patak. It had a picture of Alex on it. It's a safety framework, which is key to upholding the show. Let's read a bunch of quarter questions. This first segment is our linguistics segment, quinguistics.

Do we have a sound for that? The sound for that is going to be typing on the keyboard. Quinguistics. this question is should the ampersand be included in the alphabet oh okay important context i messaged our guests who who are top tier entertainers and i asked what we should talk about on the show and i told them andy and anders are both going to be there and i asked andy and he said let's do ufos i wrote a book on ufos and asked anders and he said sure ampersands

and I said interesting and then that was the end of our conversations so I quarreled the word ampersands and this was the first thing I can find do you want to explain why you said ampersands well it's actually kind of a cynical branding exercise on my part

Andy and I sometimes do joint podcast pod to America antifada they do it's called and and and and build yeah It's, you know, three ants, and we put that in the code in the RSS feed. And I was worried, actually, about that.

People would think it's like some kind of scam. They see ampersands. But apparently the ampersand is like a beloved figurine. Not figurine, but, you know, symbol. Kind of like a woman symbol. We should make a figurine to promote the show. Yes, that's a good idea. Yeah, that could be really good.

Anthropomorphic ampersand. Some people think we should add it to the alphabet. I've heard this. I think it's a bad idea. The 27th letter. Alex, before we get into this first question, do you want to guess how many minutes we've been recording? Feels like hours. Six minutes.

I'm having the time of my life. 26. Well, guess what? The first three are not usable. Oh, my God. Do you see who the first answer this is from? Yes, I do. It's very important.

Do you want to guess who this first answer is from? No. Writer Orson Scott Card. No. Author of Ender's Game. Now, we have been tracking Sir Scott Card for some time, waiting for him to write in. We would love to have you on the podcast. He uses Quora every day, and he answers random questions like, should the ampersand be included

in the alphabet? What did he say today? He says, we need to recruit children to fight our wars. No, he didn't. He says, and is already on the computer keyboard as our at and the hashtag, I forget what, the pound symbol. The pound symbol. What would we gain by then treating end as a letter or a phoneme?

What does that mean? You get to put it into the song. Phoneme. When it's neither. It would only confuse children trying to learn the alphabet as also those learning to sound out words. Will they ever find these characters embedded in a word representing a sound?

Would we ever write? That's a hey and why thing to have around. He hates confusing children. He's against it. He's against it. He would never trick a child into doing something. battle school was meant to be a satire right you see of the military industrial complex that's where colonel graph was coming from we all remember the characters in ender's game i

only remember is people getting kicked in the nuts like every two pages yeah that's how it's like at boarding school just in general ask any english person um speaking of english i'm gonna say this should not be an alphabet because it's where does it end why not why not have gerunds because I could see there's a utility. Where is it, N? I could see at O, I guess, but I could see where there's a utility to if there's and in a word,

you put in the ampersand, but then there's other symbols that are other sound, phonic, and you could just go nuts and just it would be incomprehensible. I will say today I learned something new about the alphabet. They changed the, not the spelling of it,

but the way you sing it. What? What? They slow down. Are you sure of this? Is this so that you can get it right when you're pulled over for drunk driving? Because I don't think I can do it backwards still. This feels like a Trump complaint.

You know what I mean? They changed the alphabet. It's too fast. I think it's a good thing. What's an elemento? Somebody tell me what an elemento is. No, that's it. That's it.

Can I hear about this? Is that a favor? Everybody in America and I guess the Anglophone world grows up singing elemento P. Everybody knows P. We love P. I thought that it was a descriptor for P I thought Elemento was an adjective of P until I was like 8 years old

and then I learned that's 4 letters right there and apparently they're teaching children the song in a slowed down pace at that one gradation where they're like L M N O P Q R S and then they speed it back up they ruined the bridge

this is my critical race theory I'm gonna like fucking protest over this this is wrong They've woked up the alphabet song. They added like a hardcore breakdown to it. It's moshable now. L-M-N-O-P. I find that very upsetting.

Yeah, it honestly pisses me off really bad. Well, it's funny because I saw somebody tweet about it and then immediately everybody jumped on her and was like, oh, what, you think the alphabet's too woke? And she's just like, no, I just am pointing out it's different now and that's it. That's the end of the... Please say the alphabet's pronouns before you say it.

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put you and I together. Oh, that's an interesting idea. That's cute. Really cool. Well, that's it for the imperfect question. Is that how you met your wife, Joe? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she was in kindergarten.

He was 25 years old. He did not get it. That's how he found his child, Bride. That's right. You're a sicko and you belong in jail. Right, but I don't think we should trick children like that. No, I don't think there's any trickery going on. I think it's more trickery to do it, you know, like I think that's more confusing.

Okay, what is the most trickery for children? Adding an ampersand to the alphabet, saying L-M-N-O really fast, or telling them that the bugs that they're killing are just a simulation and it's not really going out into the space wars? The question is what's the biggest lie? Which is the biggest lie to children? The biggest lie is the bugs one. Okay, okay.

For sure. I don't know why Mance did that. I'm going to say, I mean, I think that there could be actually if you reverse that IRL and are like, I need you to kill bugs because it's like for the good of the universe. Kids would be all over their their gnat problems in their homes. And, you know, they would think it's real important. Well, being new. Be new. Being.

Have you guys not read Ender's Game? I have read it. It's one of the few like sci-fi books I've read. But again, I only remember just, you know. Yeah. He gestured to his nuts and grabbed them as if he was kicked in them, if you're listening Yeah, this is primarily

an Ender's Game podcast followed by a brief stint of Quora So it's important to get out there That's one of the top things people confront me with when they learn my name Really? Oh, like Ender's Game James McRane?

Like Ender's Game? He does not stop growing Alright, let's take to Ender's Game, but move on to our next segment. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Pull up Forbidden Knowledge. The next question's in...

No, the next one's actually in the quiz course. Okay, well, it's not in any given order, but yeah, okay. We're going to do the politics one. Here we go.

Politics on Quora. What an exciting time to discuss the discourse. As a politics head, this is my favorite song. Really? Yeah. Pretty good, right?

I'm more of a pomp and circumstance fan, but this is also a banger. We're very pompous. Okay, well, this is a politics question. Why does the United States promote homosexuality and not consider what happened in the petrified village of Pompeii? Okay, so let's keep in mind that everybody's opinion needs to be respected here.

This is the marketplace of ideas. In Pompeii, I'm just pulling what I know off of the top of my head. They have that guy who was having a wank. I don't know about that. And he was turned to rock mid-wank. Yeah. And so now we could find him hundreds of years later and say, look at this chap, El Mal. Is that what they mean by being gay?

Or did he think that they were gay and that's why the volcano went off? Oh, that's an interesting theory. Yeah. Volcano went out as a punishment. Yeah, it was like, stop kissing over there. Do you know what this guy was thinking about? Because it could be the most hetero, you know, normative missionary sex. He was probably thinking of Jenna Jameson or something.

If it was hetero, the volcano would have exploded. That's right. That's true. I mean, that's proof right there. Well, volcanoes love pussy. Here's the thing. How do we... They literally do.

You have to drop a virgin into them. That's true. And they go, how do I approach? By burning your bones. Especially Roman vore. Oh, man. A volcano does kind of vore into a little virgin, doesn't it? That guy probably started jerking off when the volcano was exploding.

He's like, hell yeah. Oh, and that's kind of gay. Think of all those little animals being crushed by the lava rocks. It's gay because the volcano is canonically a man. I was going to go with anal. It's like an anal situation. Oh, I see, because you go into the hole. There's lots of ways that it's gay.

There's lots of ways that it's gay. You can probably find a way that it's straight, too. We all agree Pompeii was destroyed for being gay. Moving on from there. I think there's maybe something to this, because I've always wondered, when was the last person who actually believed in, like, the, wait, was it, it was ancient Rome, right? Or Greece? Pompeii is in Roman Empire, right? Off of Italy somewhere.

Yeah, it's Italian. So Roman Empire. Pop geography quiz. Who was the last person who actually believed that the Roman gods were, like, legit? Sure. there had to be somebody who was like the last person i think there's someone still now there could be a black metal band that believes that shit yeah i used to go around as like asking people do you think it but um that if you go around as a kid you said i wonder i this question

has you know been on my mind the roman gods yeah does anybody actually ever find anyone uh someone said their mom did actually a greek friend of mine okay great so it's still going She was Greek and she believed in the Roman gods It was the Greek gods Apparently if you talk to Enough old world Greeks Some of them do still think some of that shit In a light way

Athena came out of Zeus' head and stuff You gotta be careful about Being gay next to a volcano If you pass a volcano Be sure to say pause That's for the safety of the village so i mean there's no evidence that the gods weren't real and i don't know what they thought about homosexuality though because everything yeah everything i've heard is like they were

cool with that they especially if it was an age gap they loved they were they thought it was a sport they did age gap discourse but they were like two thumbs up yeah yeah agreed so uh if the question is why does the united states promote it um i think they probably have forgotten their history. Wouldn't it be so sad if a volcano killed everyone in the U.S.? That would be a big volcano. That would be a big one, and that is what would happen if one of the ones in

Yellowstone Park went off. It would happen any day now. Only before this episode comes out. We get a false flag on that every few weeks. They're like, oh, we thought it was gonna... and everyone's still alive. Is that... okay, that's a thing. Really. It's a super volcano. Of the ways we could go out, I think that's one of the...

I would prefer that to nukes, for sure. It's very similar to nukes. you can't really blame anybody really that's the difference but at the time when you're apparently you can yeah you can blame a very specific set of people actually uh it's less ambiguous that way but uh yeah that's like one of those things like asteroid where it's like well at least all the stuff i was worried about didn't matter i feel like if you believe this you kind of have to reconsider like obama because i feel like this is the kind of person who also thinks obama is like for sure gay right because of that guy who was like i had sex with him so like if you if you

think that a gay man secretly became president and the volcanoes didn't go off in the u.s like what's your worldview now if you don't know about the man who came forward last year claiming to have maybe that's what it sucked off barack obama be sure to check out uh tucker carlson on x yeah i wanted to get you should get the plug for tucker carlson into the show and uh it is actually a episode because he started the full the first like 12 minutes of it is like yeah i went to prison for lying a lot anyway check this out i was alone with the president and then he tells a story and the whole time tucker's like wow and the media doesn't believe you that's ridiculous well okay i like how much of that interview is just like kind of heartbroken that obama

didn't want to be his boyfriend right like isn't a lot of it just like oh i don't know he used me never called he told me I was just a vessel for his cum but he said it all Obama-y, not like that he made it sound cool you know what happened

he gets in there, he's elected the president always has a top secret briefing, you learn about the nuclear codes and they're like, sir, you cannot be gay because of this active volcano we have the majestic 13 lets you in on the volcano awareness doctrine.

He was like, I just wanted to bust in him. Allow me to be queer. Sure, that's the classic. Is the classic. Now, if we can move on from this, because there's a lot to discuss here. We've done two questions. There's a lot of answers that are saying

that Pompeii was not, the destruction was not due to homosexuality. Sure. How could they say that? Prove it. Why don't you prove it? I'd love to hear this crazy, Prove it was unrelated.

I don't really know. I mean, that's just what every answer is. This is like an unknown, unknown situation. Every answer is pretty much just people being like, well, have you considered that's actually not what happened? It was a volcano. Yeah, actually, check out volcanoes. Google volcanoes.

He thought just a bunch of gay people rampaged Pompeii and it ended up like that somehow. He didn't know about the volcano part. Raised them. Raised them to the ground. They thought Medusa's hair was so cool. Maybe something else happened in Pompeii that he was referring to. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I'm not very caught up on the other events of Pompeii. That's true. Yeah, he doesn't mention the volcano necessarily. He just says petrified village of Pompeii. I don't know. They could have like a low birth rate or something. I don't know what this would be.

Could have been like an artist rendering. Artist rendering gay Pompeii. AI simulation. All right, now we're just saying words. So I'm going to move on to the next question. Please. This one has no answers apparently. Why is Quora giving me liberal-ass memes instead of funny Hitler memes?

So this is what I was saying about this website. You're kind of looking around for Hitler memes. And the thing is, that's ridiculous to say because a lot of the website is Hitler memes. We have famously done two Hitler episodes so far on just questions about Hitler. And we have not even scratched the surface of Hitler-based Quora content. You've got to get the guy from White Noise on for the Hitler app. That's right. Yeah.

His, like, friend or whatever. Yeah. Oh, no. The main character. The main character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Literary ref. Studies Elvis.

Right. Right. Light Noise book. Book reading podcast. I said learn to read. Tips for men. What kind of memes are we talking about? Because Downfall.

Tips for men. There we go. Don't just watch the movie. Downfall is a great movie, though. That's a tip for men. Oh, yes. For me. And that's a great Hitler.

That is a funny-ass Hitler meme. Right. Well, what an ass. exactly um but what do they mean that they just like the hugo hugo boss whatever his name is yeah i don't know i mean first of all this guy's name is flying eagle 88 oh okay i think that answers that this is the median american voter he has a post about white genocide is his top thing when we put this question in the doc i think you riffed a hitler meme to me

uh-huh do you remember what it was oh i think uh okay so it's the two so if you had to come up with a funny hitler meme like one it could be like bad luck brian sure and it would be like it opens a second front in war and then loses war and then it's his bad luck that was pretty good um the two strong guys shaking hands and one is the soviet union one is nazi germany and it says uh molotov Ribbentrop Pact. That's a meme. What about Can I Has Sue Daytonland?

Can I Has Sue... There's a million of these. It's wide open. And again, the website is full of them. So I feel like it's a silly complaint to have. Would you believe

that this guy is a contributor to the space White Pride? Really? I would believe that. Flying Eagle 88 is. Is he posting any funny Hitler memes?

It doesn't look like it. He's doing a lot of graphs. He's just like Aryan maidens. Can he make memes? or maybe he doesn't know how to make memes. Graphic design is not for everyone. He says, was Lincoln a tyrant? Well, according to one person.

He's made a lot of infographics, but not a lot of memes. Oh no, he does have some. He's got some. He's got your son's brain on Jews and then it's a woman and then your son's brain on Hitler and it's a Nazi.

Confirmed, he does not know how to make memes. Your choice. This really isn't a meme. Your son's brain on Jews Is it a picture of coordinators? Your son's brain on Jews is just a girl, and then your son's brain on Hitler is an old photograph of a man.

And then he has when white people get colonized, and it's like the Wojak being like, thank you for civilizing us. Wait, oh, is he one of these guys who thinks Asians are superior, and that they should whip us into shape as whites? This is like a Greek Wojak. I think this is a man who's looking to send memes back in time.

Yeah. to the 30s where he can use them. Anyway, this guy is making Hitler memes. So you know what? He's being the change

he wants to be in the world. Be the change you want to be in the world as well. Like Flying Eagle in the 80s. Yeah. He's got a picture

of the Riddler here. I hate to shout him out. The 1960s Riddler. If you don't know the Riddler, he's sort of the precursor to the Rizzler. And the meme says, they say we're fragile,

too easy to trigger, but watch what happens when you call them A and it doesn't say what. It doesn't say what. Which I feel like is kind of fragile if you're not going to say the word as a hitler fan yeah if you're a declared nazi go ahead say the slur at this point i don't see what else you're getting out of it really

so is he saying that they're saying that nazis are too fragile and easy to trigger now like has that come around so like now they're the ones who don't like being i think he's saying yeah that nazis he's saying he's called fragile but these lives watch what happens when you call them and Now I feel old. Yeah, I feel a bit like the Riddler from 1968, like in this picture. This guy's basically Wolverine, the way he's trying to say sores. Wolverine is so old, it makes me laugh. Well, that's that question.

That's all the politics we have today. Was Wolverine at Pompeii, you think? He's not that old, right? Yeah, I don't think he is. There's a lot of different films about his origins, so I would hope that's covered somewhere. let's do forbidden knowledge yes fucking finally hit it these are quoras about the unknown and mysterious things that challenge the narrative of the day

now andy wanted to talk about ufos uh i started looking for some ufo questions what's our first question this first question is i took this picture using my phone and i think i caught a ufo in it is it actually a ufo okay very important then there is no i'm gonna guess chinese lantern let's see there is no picture no picture so all of the comments are like where is the picture um i think that the answer is yes it is i think it is a ufo and unfortunately that's why it was there's no photo do you guys don't have to look there's literally no photo okay people are just posting other this is a different picture i believe It's become like a thread if you have related photos, I guess.

Yeah, that's not from the guy who asked the question. So we don't have a photo from him. What's important is if you post a Quora, you should know that you don't get to post a photo in it. You can kind of, but we haven't quite figured out how to see those photos. Those are different kinds of posts. We've been doing the podcast for two years. But either way, the guy didn't post a photo.

Okay. Who's this by? This is by Shemaine Mahakumaraj. Another unproven, unbunked first encounter. A close encounter. Yeah, there's no way to say that it's anything but a UFO. I mean, I could... Anders, what's up?

What did he post? There's no picture. So he posted, I quote, I took this photo using my phone and I think I caught a UFO in it. Is it actually a UFO? That's it. Okay, well, I think it's pretty clear what happened here. The government saw him posting this.

I think you're right. We're not allowing that on Quora. You're saying the image was redacted Redacted by the government Indeed Which is also aliens Read a book Okay, I have another UFO

So many of the college are just like Please message me this photo I want to see the aliens First, I fucking knew it Second, where is the photo? And then the guy doesn't care He just keeps asking other questions That are almost entirely tech support questions

That are just like, hey, my phone's not working How do I post a photo? Dude, I think something happened to his phone. Somebody took my damn photo. After this picture, something's up with what's his name? Yeah. Check out Chimane Maka Raj's phone. He also, almost immediately after the UFO question,

about a year later, he asked, what makes the Queen band way better than the BTS? Oh. BTS. Probably their rock and roll. BTS is a K-pop. Yeah, Queen rocks in K-pop. I'm not going to say what I think of BTS.

Oh, yep. No, you should say it. A lot of our listeners are in the BTS armies. They're both equally good. They're both equally good. Queen calls Pompeii. BTS never did. I would think they'd be kind of different.

Is K-pop heavily? They're very different. I would say Queen is sort of like J-pop. Japanese pop music. Yeah, it's kind of like the background of a Naruto episode. Visual Kai. Yeah. We wish we were the champions this year.

sure yeah yeah i understand um and they wear cute little suits anyway let's read another question we have another ufo one there's two more there's two more ufo ones i want to discuss them they're okay here's another one and i believe as well question two why would a ufo have lights on it that's a great question so the thing about space is it's so dark that you're probably going to need a way to see right because otherwise how are you going to see I think that's true, yeah. I know the sun lights up the galaxy. Also, lights are cool.

Lights are really cool. You can make it look like a gaming computer. Sonar, you have that as humans, right? That's not going to help in space. Yeah, okay. You can't use sonar in space? I don't know. I have no idea. There's no fucking air.

Once they get to our atmosphere, they shouldn't really need lights, right? Yeah, turn that shit off, probably. It looks cool to have them, though. Right, and that would be the only reason is if they are actually trying to, like, hey, human, you know. Oh, hey.

Yo, let me cook on this real quick. I think those lights are probably next-level engines that we just can't understand yet, so they look like little circular orbs, but they're actually bending matter and so forth. That's the sizzle of your cooking. It's almost ready. Get ready to eat it.

I was going to say about the last one is that on the UFO subreddit, it's, like, 90%. Here we go again. It's people posting their photos of what they think is a UFO. And it's 90% people who 100% believe in UFOs, love UFOs. And even they're just like, that's a Chinese lantern. That is a plane.

So if they didn't have lights, then they couldn't fool people to think that it was very common, explainable phenomena. See, if you thought being into Trotskyism was a joyless hobby, andy's other one is debunking ufo site telling people you are wrong to believe is that what wrong to believe is is it debunking no i'm just being unfair i'm just not a believer oh yeah i was curious which side the ufo phenomenon is real but just because we don't have an explanation for like one percent of these photos doesn't mean that they're alien spacecrafts now is a chinese lantern just kind of like a slur for a regular

looking lantern or like there might be a more politically correct way to maybe fire kite is that's a different that sounds even worse it all sounds terrible it's a slur for people like andrew like when donald trump says like the chinese virus it's like chinese lantern i think they do have a chinese origin this particular kind of uh what is it it's an aircraft yeah well It's like a paper ball that you light a fire with. They're very pretty, and they convince everyone in the vicinity that there's UFOs in your pool as hell. Where you set them off. What do you think about the big triangles?

Those are just plants. Triggered. I've seen one of those. Triggered and destroyed. I've seen one of those. Triangles? Yeah, and I was like, I know that's a plane. But if I could see where people would see that and be like, I've never seen a plane like that.

This was in Virginia. I'm only aware of the stealth bomber triangle plane. Yes, that was one of those. I guess if you're in Virginia, you might see this. Did you think it kind of looked like a big piece of ham? It did kind of look like breakfast ham that you triangle and triangle, not quadrants, but, you know. Yeah, kind of sharp. Good to know.

Kind of sharp-wise. Do we have any good answers? um as noted ufo merely means unidentified flying object and as such the vast majority are conventional aircraft seen under odd conditions of viewing or reflected light seen through atmospheric inversions i think that is correct um and then someone else said they use them to get the deer to stop so they can get a clean shot also deer as in us that's uh open to aliens Because we're the deer. Yeah, that's right.

They're reputed to mutilate cattle, but not deer. Really? Yeah. They're not interested in deer. Well, I think what they might mean by that is deer in the headlights. That's right. They have a similar thing that works on humans like that. Yeah, the tractor beam.

Yes. I do like the tractor beam. The tractor beam is cool. Because it pulls you. It's not a light on the UFO that comes out of the bottom. It's a device. That light is a pulling object. It's not a normal light.

No. He's talking about the cartoon UFOs that have Christmas lights around it. Yeah. That's silly when they have those. I agree. No, I think those are cool. But you can agree they're also silly. I can't agree on that.

I agree to disagree. Should we read another question? We have so many more. Yeah, do the next UFO one. Okay, I will. this next question is how do you attract ufos okay fellas do you see a ufo how do you open what's your opening line got established worth make eye contact okay i would say something like um i'd say something like hey i would say something i'd say i'd say i like your light

come here i see you've got a silvery exterior i want to see the gold underneath i probably rub my hands together oh cool yeah that's a good ufo is like that i think you have to have a nuke a nuke and they're yeah that's that's the common thread right because they're all the spottings are around america and we're like central russia also had them during the soviet right okay now andy is dying to shut this down please i'd love to hear he says there's no way to attract what's the connection fake as lanterns the connection between what dukes and ufos oh well There's a lot of stories that aliens are either coming to UFOs or coming to nuclear sites either to warn us, to stop us from using it because they want us to advance to the next

stage of civilization without killing ourselves first, or because they want us to trigger a nuclear war. This is what Tom DeLonge believes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Of Blink-182. Some guy in the military sat Tom DeLonge down when he was in Blink-182 and said, We heard your dumb song about aliens exist. And you're right, they do.

They actually are trying to start a nuclear war. So would you like to start this project so we can launder a lot of money? Only you can stop them, Tom. You have to do vague songs about girls. It's the only way. What are the odds that just living near a nuke melts your brain in some way?

Does that have anything to do with it? It depends if it's going off fairly high. The thing about nukes is they famously melt your body more than your brain. I feel like you just get cancer. If they're just sitting over there. Probably not great for your brain. I think they're good for you. They make you smarter.

Do we have any good answers from the Quora? Yeah, this is from Tom Jalan who says, where are you? He's not on there. I'm looking for aliens. He doesn't fucking say that. That's Mark, okay? Oh, is it? Oh, sorry.

No, it's not. It's Tom Jalan. I thought that was, yeah. Anyway, Moonshine, someone says, heavy alcoholic intake will increase sightings. Okay, that's for real, though. Someone else says, they don't want to meet with you. If they did, you would have hundreds of clear photographs of them.

Okay. Boom, roasted. Haters forum. And then there's 23 hidden answers. Andy, are you excited that there's a whole forum of your friends lying out on Quora? You love these guys. Check this site out.

Yeah, this is your Mark Vor. almost every answer is just um you have to be a uh a little bit drunk or high or you're an idiot or you love donald trump and then one person says flash your pink what flash your pink flash your pink it's a common ufo phrase it means uh show me your vagina yeah much like volcanoes ufos go crazy for pussy. There's a bunch of aliens who are like, whoo!

Ha, ha, ha! Fuck, I love college. That's what the alien says and it's not something I said. That's very funny to me. But they just played that song, I Love College. He had Asher Roth.

Yeah. How did he write such a good song without help? Yeah, it's like him and the pyramids are the two things that aliens help with. Such an incredible achievement

as the I Love College white rap. Oh, man. When it comes to condoms, he puts two on. How did he know? But humans, mate, I hate college. Is there any way that anyone, like, born after fucking 2000 has heard the song I Love College? There's no way. There's absolutely no way.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Do you not know this song? I don't know it. It's a fucking- Just for me and you, Alex. Okay, never mind. Yeah, that's why we're the Quaraders, baby. We both know Asher Roth's I Love College.

It's a song about loving college. It's a white rapper? It was a white rapper. His name is Asher Roth. This is a very popular song around 2009 or 2010. And it was just like, and when we got beers, it's college time. I love college. It's like that.

It's famously, I love drinking, I love women, and I love college. And then there was another guy named Sam Adams, who was a different white rapper, who remixed it into, I hate college. And now keep in mind, this is not the Patriot who founded this great country. I think that was his name, right? Listen to it like Sammy Adams. Sammy Adams. Okay. White rap.

Write this down. It sounds like some Boston shit. Oh, absolutely. Again, different guy from that. He didn't make that beer. Yeah. Anyway, it's just the Chinese lantern. Okay.

It's the Chinese lantern. Chinese lantern. Remember when Biden went to war with all the Chinese lanterns and weather balloons? That was fun. There's so much good stuff I've forgotten about. That's right. Just because I'm so scared all the damn time. This is such a good question.

We just have to answer it. I've been meaning to do this one for weeks. If a female Bigfoot became pregnant after mating with a dog man, what would the offspring resemble? Dog man. Dog man. Dog man. I have problems with the premise of the question.

I think all men are dogs. Two separate species. Two separate species. But the dog man is significantly smaller than a Bigfoot, right? What is a dog man? is it so is it as andrews are you saying that a dog man is like a mule it's like a um infertile half breed no maybe there's this what what is the dog i'm thinking like a it's a dog man like from arthur like a guy from arthur yeah it's arthur well arthur's not what you know but

somebody in his universe someone in his you know that's not what i'm thinking at all i have a theory here i think he's talking about the uh the skinwalker actually oh which is a character of Native American folklore, which is a dog that walks on its hind legs and plays tricks on you. Well, it's not always a dog. It's usually like a wolf head. I've spent a lot of time on

Skinwalker TikTok a while ago, and they show up as all kinds of shit. Sometimes as your podcast co-host. They are shapeshifters. They're tricky in all seriousness. They're scary. Are we sure this isn't werewolf?

I think werewolf is the closest to dog man out of the combinations. I feel like it's like, oh, I can't remember the word right now, but some kind of, I don't know, dog man. Sort of like dog man. When the moon comes out, you turn into a dog, dog man. Werewolf makes a little more sense to me because dog man, like there's just different species he wouldn't know how to handle. But werewolves aren't real.

Right. Okay, but if they are, then they kind of have an electric vibe to them and they could, you know, handle a larger mating partner. A beautiful woman. Yes. A beautiful Bigfoot woman. A big, beautiful foot. Right.

And the electric quality, they have an electric quality to probably their semen that could work on a different species. It's so powerful that it would impregnate. Sure. It has wolf strength. But as far as how it would look, kind of like a freak. It would look like a half-human, half-Bigfoot because werewolf turns back into person. Oh.

That's kind of interesting. Maybe that's how humans came to be. Probably. I remember seeing, I showed this picture to people all the time. This is like a Quora-level picture. Similar situation. There is a photo that surfaced, this is about like 2010, of a, I think it was a lamb-human hybrid. Oh, no.

Probably was not real in retrospect. Probably? But it had a, it was a lamb. It's not like a dog, man. It was like a goat. I think, yeah, I was thinking it was a goat with like a human face. and someone in Turkey took a photo of it and put it on the internet

and it became a story from the Daily Mirror or whatever. And it was very freakish. It was frightening. It had the normal... So is the implication here that some guy knocked up a lamb or something? Yes.

Gotcha. And I think that's kind of what Bigfoot Dogman would look like. This is why Pompeii happened, right? It was retroactive. We've strayed so far from God's light. Yeah, I like Andy's theory that if these two crazy remixes mixed, it would just be a man again. Yeah.

That's why men are such dogs. That's right. I do not have a button for that. Okay, well, let's see what the answers. The werewolf in London riff. We have like a tiger. Does that help? Wasn't one of the built-in road sound effects a wolf?

Yeah, I've changed 40 of them. We don't have that anymore. We'll play the tiger. Let's just say that's a dog, yeah. We have one built-in sound effect, and it's the space of the week one. That's the last one that's built in. I thought that sounded familiar. That's the only one we kept.

What do the Quora users say on the Dogman Bigfoot question? AtlantaMan says, Dino, you need to get a life. Hey! The offspring will resemble a pile of large turds, as did your question. god damn i disagree with this i think it's a great question where is this coming from one of the better questions we've heard today at least yeah born in 1949 i'm interested in meeting face to face i am bi that is his bio he's a band he's using this as a dating website he is in several spaces number one dirty desires number two worship love need of cock gbtccl

Number three, show your dick. Number four, T. Jenner space. Number five, old farting around. And then, sorry, number six, show your genital. So he's interested in genitalia. Show your genitalia is like a compromise on show your dick. He wants mating questions, and he's looking for human on human, and he gets this instead, so he's very disappointed.

Yeah, he's pissed. Letting out a lot of pent-up rage. This guy rules, actually. Atlanta man? Someone said, my son saw me when I was taking a shower. What do I do? And he goes, why are you asking this question? Are you afraid your penis will shrink and fall off because your son saw you?

Or are you just an ignorant troll trying to cause trouble? I'm following this guy. It's so funny that you go to his profile and he's like, I'm craving cocks. I need to see them. And then he goes to the cock questions. He's like, this is stupid. Why would anyone mind seeing a cock? I think this guy is pissed off that like so many people use Quora as like a place to write about their sexual fantasies.

And he's like, I want to see pictures. I'm trying to date. Show me the UFO. I guess he doesn't know there's other apps where you can suck and fuck. Yeah, I have a bunch of questions. There's probably thousands of Reddits for posting dicks. As they say in Virginia, there are places you can slam ham. He's asking questions like, how did you like your first blowjob?

I liked it quite well. He says, have you ever masturbated in front of your partner or in front of anybody else? These are his questions? Yeah. He says, here's another question that you'll like, Alex. Do you want it? I do like that one.

That's my favorite kind of quarrel when it's just kind of open-ended. Oh, he lost the camera. Yeah, it's going to happen. All right, well, let's round the show down then. Oh, right when the cat arrived. I know. All right, if you're going to hit okay. All right, the camera with me and Anders is still going,

so let's go ahead. and Anders, don't you worry about that camera. You're the star of the day, baby. All right. We're going to go ahead and close on down here. Before we go, let's ask a question for Quora. Do we have any questions for Quora today? I have one for General Ham about the movie No Escape.

We can tag him. Okay. So what's your question? Now keep in mind, whatever you ask, we're going to have to discuss next week as well. Okay. Did the writers of No Escape 1994 have some kind of time machine apparatus situation

because they predicted Benghazi. I think a lot of people on Quora would be very interested to learn. I'm asking the question. It's all over Reddit. Why is Ham the state beat of Virginia? That's a fair compromise. Again, we will have to answer this next week,

so that's only fair. I can still tag General Ham, please. What is his first name? His name is Carter Ham. I thought I could have sworn when you said there's a General Encore that it was going to be Wesley Clark. He might also be here. Hold on. There are so many General Hams.
