I mean, you know, there was a lot of black people, but it was fine. You know what I'm saying? They were on boats. I saw you guys out on the boat.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be like fucking, you know, Mississippi. Needles and shit and fucking use condoms. Yeah. You just didn't see those.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah, it was clean, man. It was a great time Dude, we went to some, like, amazing restaurants I gotta give a shout out One of the, he's a head chef, Colinary Director of this group up there called Dynamics They have like fucking 17 restaurants.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Oh yeah? And like, bro, the majority of them are on like the top 10 fucking restaurants in Chicago. Yeah. And they're fucking amazing. That's chef Joe, Riz, who called him.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Riz? Fucking awesome dude. The Rizinator? Yeah, well, bro, he was resonating. Yeah. He was doing it. Sure. It's part of the deal, man, when you're in the hospitality industry.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Bro. Amazing. Got to have that little razzle dazzle. Amazing shit, bro. Absolutely amazing time. No, it was great, though. But I am glad to be back. I'm glad to be here.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And I am ready to cruise some internet. Let's do it. Now, you know, we did a little something last show. And I tried not to do it often, you know, but the people did like it. And so I felt like it's appropriate. that we kick this show off with 60 seconds of liberal insanity. All right. And we have something new, evolution, if you will.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Antifa people now have tanks. Oh, yeah? Yeah? I did this. This is my prompt, by the way. Oh, you made that. I made that. Oh, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:05:05 That's not bad. Yeah. That's not bad, all right. let's check out the new Antifa tanks and what they got growing. 60 seconds of his liberal insanity. Check this out. Oh, man. That's wrong.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Dude, what's going on here? Is this a handicap thing? cap'in for sure. I mean it looks like half the people belong in the wheelchair and half people are just fat. Bro, that's what I was going to like, okay, percentage wise, right? Like, it's like half and half. They're trans disabled.
Starting point is 00:05:50 You know what I'm saying? That's a fucking thing. That's a thing that some of these people try to do. They say they're trans disabled so that they can like get the special privileges and the attention of a fucking disabled person. Like imagine how good your life has to be to pretend to be. To want to be. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yeah. Yeah. Like that's the of this whole thing like dude at any other time in history these people would not have been tolerated they wouldn't have survived no they wouldn't have been tolerated at all and then they're complaining about oppression and fascism and all this shit which dude we do have degrees of fascism that exists in our country but it's not the way they describe no they don't even understand how to fucking they don't even know what fascism really is so like you know you know yeah i mean i'm not shock bro this is this is fucking you know at least they're not screaming not yet not yet well i mean
Starting point is 00:06:44 yeah in this clip oh that person got it like fucking really bad look at that yeah they got struck by god like four times look man you're something wrong we can make fun of all kinds of people but we're not going to make fun of actual people that are disabled all right i'm not joining you down that fucking path. And he hate direct at him. Okay. Bam,
Starting point is 00:07:12 bro. Yeah. They got hit bad, man. Just let it go. I'm going to stay silent on this one. I can't be responsible for what he says. Oh. You better not have another kid, bro.
Starting point is 00:07:25 It's going to be fucked up. Oh, bro. Bro, bro. Fuck. Yeah. That's terrible. Well, oh, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I mean, how are we going to compete, though? They have tanks and shit. now. So like, I don't know what these people think they're going to do. Like I written, I mean, not just these ones, but like just all of them. Like, what do you think you're going to do? You are a product of the system that you claim to oppose. Like, you're the victim of the propaganda and not just what you believe and how you live. Like, you have been fooled. Okay. Yeah. And, you know, these people, they think they're all badass and they get these like spiky haircuts and die in purple and shit and you know the fucking amazon gas mask yeah bro down with the system and
Starting point is 00:08:12 this and that's like you are the fucking product of the system's right completely like look how fucking fat you are you've been eating all their food look how sick you are you have to take their medication look at the fact that you probably don't have a job and you collect government funds for your you're you're claiming to want to tear the system down that allows you to even survive like it's just totally hypocritical and honestly just stupid. And then you talk to some of these people and they're like pseudo intellectuals. You know what I'm saying? Like they like to, they speak pretty well. They've got some good vocabulary. But dude, what they say never makes any sense. And we see this over and over again.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Like, dude, have you ever seen that clip going around of PBD and then that girl having an argument over? Oh, yeah. Like, do you try to give her a job or some shit like that? Yeah, she wouldn't take it. Yeah. And it's like, dude, it's these people, they don't. don't have they're none of their logic connects it's it's it's just total bullshit it's kicking and screaming and throwing a tantrum because their asses never got spanked when they were little kids and they expect the world to conform to them and the world is never going to conform to them and it's always going to resort to natural order it always has it always will and when things get too far out of whack the strongest people in society stand up and fucking correct it and that's what
Starting point is 00:09:36 happens. And these people have never won. They're never going to win. And in fact, their winning isn't even winning because if they get what it is there after, they end up getting exterminated anyway. Communism doesn't tolerate people that can't contribute. It kills them intentionally. And most of the people in history who have advocated for communism over the course of time, once communism was in place, they were the first ones that had to turn around and face the wall. Okay. So like it's just it's like at this point in time it's just like you guys are fucking idiots. And at the end of the day we got to stop listening to these people or taking anything that they say serious and just do what we do. You know like dude these people like these
Starting point is 00:10:22 people like you have all these people who are like pro LGBTQ people which fine, fine. I'm talking about activist. Right. Right. Right. but then they're like pro-Muslim and pro-Fucking Palestinian okay and by the way I'm with Palestine not getting exterminated but they don't understand that if you go over there they're going to kill you and not only that you're advocating for all of these people that are that legitimately hate you to come across the border who have no sympathy no no respect no reservation about tolerating anything that you're about so it's like dude these people don't see the holes in their own game and it's just because they're fucking they're literally fucking retarded
Starting point is 00:11:13 i mean that's what it comes down to these are low IQ people and you know you know what the number one thing of like low IQ people is it's that they they they're so certain about what they know and they're completely unaware of their own ignorance. And when you have those two things, a certainty about what you know and an unawareness of your own ignorance to reality, you are extremely susceptible to any sort of propaganda, and you're also blocking yourself
Starting point is 00:11:48 from being able to accept other perspectives and learn to see what the truth is. So, you know, when you talk to... Double fuck. Yeah, that's why it's no, there's no, you know, my dad always has this saying. He's like, you know, don't argue with stupid. Okay, you can't argue with stupid because that makes you stupid. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Right. So it's like, dude, whatever, man. You know, you guys have your fake fucking revolution and you think you're the, whatever the fuck you think you are. You've never won a revolution in the history of the world. And you're not going to win this either. This isn't going to happen. Like find something else to fucking advocate for because, dude,
Starting point is 00:12:26 all it's going to take is a bunch of men showing up at one of your protests and literally fucking exterminating the entire protest in like 30 seconds for all of you to learn your lesson. I mean, that's what comes down to. Yeah. You know, you're going to piss the wrong people off, man. Never ends well. Yeah, dude, you don't listen, man. It never ends well for that.
Starting point is 00:12:48 You don't call for the smoke unless you can handle the smoke, period. And running into schools and shooting up schools. and creating violent scenarios and then blaming it on white people is getting tired. People are tired of it and they know where it's coming from. So, you know, it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:13:08 These people are creating their own bed and they're going to have to lie in it. And it is what it is. I don't have any sympathy for them. They don't have any sympathy for me or you or anybody else that's reasonable. No, absolutely not, man. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Guys, there's no down to the comments. What you guys think? I'm surprised I didn't see more. There's nothing scary about that. these people. No. No. Do that?
Starting point is 00:13:30 That's what I'm saying. You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna take over the government? Bro. Come on, man. Have you seen these people try to shoot guns? No,
Starting point is 00:13:39 they shoot guns and like start crying and shit. Oh, man. You know, like they're like, I shoot guns and start crying too. That's typically if I like run out of ammo or something. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah. Same same. Yeah. Same same, I guess. Yeah, dude. Everybody's tired of these people. These people are tired.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Like they've worn out their welcome. They're not going to continue to be tolerated. You know, and what is it? I got a real question. Okay. What is it with the fucking hair? I don't know. What is it with,
Starting point is 00:14:09 you know, there's a study that people that color their hair outside the normal color range of hair, like have a much higher propensity, have mental illness? Yeah, but it's like proven. Oh, no, she's like,
Starting point is 00:14:21 like, you're signed like, fuck. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that is, dude. I've never got that people. me neither yeah yeah it's like dude you want everybody to treat you like a normal person but you're running around with wine green fucking anime hair it's yeah like what are you staring at well you did it you motherfucker yeah you did that that's right you know you got dude I was sitting with I was with my buddy and like dude you know I got a lot of tattoos I was sitting with my buddy this is a number of years ago he's tattoo artists and we were

People are going to look at that. Yeah. Like, I don't give a fuck that you tattooed your face. I don't give a shit. But like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:31 people are going to look. Yeah. And you can't pretend that you're part of some sort of like oppressed class for the shit that you did to yourself. That's right. You know? We call that the old stick in the tire. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. And I remember we were having beers
Starting point is 00:15:47 and I told him that. And like, it was like a light went off in his head. And he's like, oh. I'm like, yeah, man I'm like, you fucking did that What the fuck, you know? If anything, if you're going to walk around tattooed like that, who fucking gives a shit?
Starting point is 00:16:01 That should be a signal that you don't care what anybody thinks. You have to accept those. You have to accept that. How are you going to care what anybody thinks if they look at you weird and you decided to get your face tattooed? Right. Like, you should have thought about that.
Starting point is 00:16:15 You know? Everybody I know that has their face tattooed for real, like their tattoo guys, they all understand that this one guy did not i was like man come on dude anyway don't look at me you look like you're fucking came out of the simpsons bro i'm gonna look at you yeah what's gonna happen the resistance yeah these people and then they say they're the resistance but then they support all of the all the resistance they're resistant right like they say the system is so fucked up and we got to tear it down well you
Starting point is 00:16:51 eat their food, you take their medicine, you consume their propaganda, you believe it. Stop resisting. Yeah. Like, damn. Or start resisting. Shit. Is that a penis? I think that's a penis on her arm.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I don't know. It's fucking weird. No, you know. I don't know. They're talking about where they're going to go eat. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. This is why there's not.

Yes. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I mean, for real. You remember that? I do. It's so weird because it's like seeing odd couples. It was not. That was super odd. But it's like, you know, a super tall dude,
Starting point is 00:18:37 super short girl. I think that was like, whatever. I think that was like those dudes and like one of them's sister and a friend or something. I think they lost a fantasy football. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Yeah. I couldn't make sense of the fucking thing. How, yeah. But all as I know is them dudes were embarrassed to be there. Oh, for sure. Yeah, for sure. And they had to pay. It might be one of them weird fetishes from gooning too much.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Oh, you think so? Yeah, like they got a weird fetish and then like, you know, and then they like started having the fetish in private and then they harassed them enough. Like, why don't you want to see me in public? And so they're like, all right, fuck, we'll take him to dinner this one time. You know what I'm saying? Like, maybe it was like that. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Because they were, dude, their heads were down. Dude, I pray for those. I pray for those guys. I think about them often. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I pray for those guys every day. Like, dude, that was three years ago.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I still think about them. Yeah, man, guys jump with the conversation. Let's go down to the comments. I'm really impressed with this generated picture. Yeah. It's not too bad. Yeah. But I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah, man. I don't know how you got the, I don't know how you got the AI to make like the woman so fat because like normally the AI will be like we can't do offensive yeah we can't do derogatory things well it's funny no no it was chat but it did it did title it as inappropriate request yeah so yeah but it made it didn't make it for me i said drop me a character of an overweight antifa person driving a tank well that's pretty accurate it's pretty fucking good no justice no peace defund everything yeah yeah it's great fund everything but give me your money
Starting point is 00:20:24 That's right. Yeah. Defund you. To fund me. Whatever. Yeah. Well, it costs a lot to eat that much. It does.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It ain't cheap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eat everything. Yeah. Oh, yeah, man. Guys, remember, if you would like to see any of these articles, pictures, links, videos, go to
Starting point is 00:20:44 Andy Fricela.com. You guys can check them all link there. You ever notice it why it's eat the rich? And it's always fucking big, fat people. Yeah. What a fuck, dude? Couldn't it be something like that. Like kill the rich or like,
Starting point is 00:20:56 No, I think that because destroy the rich. Why has it got to be eat? Well, why waste that meat? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, why waste it? You don't waste good food. You know, you know, they're eating the finest shit.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Have you seen that, uh, have you seen that thing on the, the, the giant of Kandahar? Giant of Kandahar. Yeah. Look it up. The TV show. The giant of Kandahar. Or the Kandahar giant. Giant of Kandahar.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Yeah. The fuck is this. Yeah. So, like, dude, apparently. apparently this when we were in Afghanistan because like dude
Starting point is 00:21:29 I don't know if people know like there's been like giant skulls and bones you found yeah like giant like giant human being skulls sure and we're not talking like they were eight footers they were like 12 feet tall and bones and skeletons and shit they keep all that shit classified
Starting point is 00:21:44 there's been all kinds of whistleblowers about it and so this deal with the Kandahar giant allegedly there it is right there. Allegedly a U.S. patrol went missing in the mountains of Kandahar and a rescue team tracked them to a cave
Starting point is 00:22:01 where they found the team killed. Okay. So then they sent another patrol to the cave where the people didn't come back from and they found this giant eating the fucking remains of the first patrol. Well, they killed this thing and it was supposedly like
Starting point is 00:22:24 12 feet 13 feet tall 1,100 pounds and the U.S. military like shipped its body back here. And there's been like whistleblowers that that were like on the scene talking about it. No shit. Yeah on the internet recently. Fuck. Yeah. I've not heard this story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah. So apparently, you know, giants are real. For real. Like still, I mean, that's what they're saying. But this is one that's actually still living. I mean, dude, you got to remember, man. there's lots of, there's large parts of the planet that are not inhabited. They're not explored.
Starting point is 00:22:58 You know, like the mountainous regions of Iran and like all through Afghanistan and all that. Dude, it's so treacherous that most people don't know what's even there. Bro. You know? And then you start thinking about the ocean. Oh, bro. The ocean scares the fuck out of it. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Like it scares the fuck out of it. Yeah. I mean, most of the world is covered by the water, bro. And think of all the terrain underneath. I forget the stat. They say we only, like, we have only explored about 3% of the ocean. Yeah, I don't know, man. That's a fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:23:32 That's crazy, though. Yeah, yeah. You didn't see this? No, I didn't see this. Yeah. Rogan's talked about it, and I think Sean Ryan had a thing about it, too. Jesus. We have visually observed less than 0.001% of the deep ocean floor.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Yeah. Because that's where the fucking aliens live. Yeah, no shit. Pretty sure. Yeah. Pretty sure. That's right. That's where the aliens live, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yeah, that's fucking crazy. Supposedly we know more about the outer space than about our own oceans. Yeah. I wonder if that's true. I wonder if that's actually true. That's just what they tell us because they don't want us like knowing what's there. 100%. And then brings up another question, do you think outer space is real or not?
Starting point is 00:24:13 That's a whole different discussion. Yeah. You know. For another day. Yeah. Yeah, it's fucking wild. Yeah. Guys, jump on this conversation.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Bro, the more I think about it, the more I think we live in a quantum simulation. For real. Like it's all just like the matrix? I think if you, I think it turns, it comes into like what people's identity is about themselves. Like what they think they are,
Starting point is 00:24:45 they do become. And I've observed that for so long, being in the personal development space, the way that I've been in it. that like when people think they're poor, they're going to be poor. When people think they're nobody, they're going to be nobody. When people have, you know, no evidence to support that they're going to be something, they become something.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And I really think that our reality is tied directly to our projections of what our own identity is on the world. I truly believe that. A hundred percent of me. About four or five years ago, I started changing things in my vocabulary. that I started to pick the negative words and put them out. Like I would never say that, oh, I'm so bad at this. I just say that I'm learning it or I haven't done it yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Changing things like that have opened so many new doors for me and if in general has made the life better. Well, dude. And also, like, think about this, man. Like, most people don't take the time to even, like, see what their life should be like. They live in a completely reactive state. So, like, they take the position. of the world is the world and what happens to me is what I got to take.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yes. And successful people, people who become things and build things and create things, that's not the position they take. They take the position of the world is the world, but I'm going to do this in the world. And so they see this as, you know, I don't know if it's like delusional belief or what it is, but like they have a, an unreasonable, misunderstood belief of who they are and what they are. And that usually ends up materializing. Like I've seen total dumbasses, fuck, I'm one of them
Starting point is 00:26:35 who have created incredible lives just because they refused to accept what the identity was that the world tried to put on them. I legit believe that. Yeah. This is why like people who, who if you look at them, if you talk negative, they talk negative, negative things happen to them.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Yeah. If they keep talking bad. Some of the people, their default state, if one thing goes wrong, oh, this happens to me all the time. It keeps repeating and repeating.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Well, and then they also lack the ability to see the good things, right? Like, oh. It's proven more good shift from that. Exactly. 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Like you said, if you go deep into quantum physics and talk about energy and your magnetic field, all that stuff, it's scientifically proves that every thought you think is some sort of like an energy exchange. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And how do you actually tune a radio and listen to a song? Everything exists out there. You're tuning your frequency to match that and that's where you get. I agree. Maybe there is something to the butthole sunning shit, right? Then tune your frequency? Anyway, Z, I agree with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah. I'm saying. That's what I do, right? the crystals up the button shit. You let us know. Maybe they're on to something. I'm saying, like,
Starting point is 00:27:49 I don't know. You know, I think, I think, I think we're talking about many different things here. Yeah. I think, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:58 there's a lot of people who think that they can think things or visualize things and those things will automatically happen. And they think that it's like magic, right? So they don't actually go out and could, I think it takes two parts. One,
Starting point is 00:28:14 you have to know where you're going. and you have to believe in where you're going and what you're going to do and you have to constantly focus on that vision. Number two, you've got to be willing to work towards that. 100%. You've got to be able to take the controllable actions towards that outcome.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And when you have those two pieces together, things materialize. 100%. But most people can't get out of their own way, man, because they grew up in a situation where their parents told them they were going to be nothing. Their teachers told them they were going to be nothing. They heard their parents and their teachers
Starting point is 00:28:43 and their aunts and uncles talk about how success and doing things and doing big things was for other people or corrupt people or bad people. And when you assume that to be the reality, how can you break out of it to want to be something better? 100%. And you're surrounded by seeing nothing. Yeah, but it becomes an adopted identity that you're not aware that you carry. Yes. Yes. You're so right because I often get asked a lot after working six years with you and in this atmosphere, what are some of the top things that I've learned? And one of the best things is...
Starting point is 00:29:15 is that my ceiling now of what I could achieve in life is completely broken. Because I see you, Sal, and other people operate how effectively, and you guys are legit living people's dream, even though you don't see it according to you. But then if we go back, you all started from nothing. That's how everybody starts. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:36 But then when we are ingrained in a 30-year psychological programming of, hey, you can't achieve this. Only those people can. or you have to do something wrong. Well, and then they write off those scenarios, right? Like all the scenarios of all the people who literally come from nothing, which by the way is most of the success. Okay?
Starting point is 00:29:56 It's most of the success. It's not the anomaly. The anomaly is you grew up in a rich family and you got funded and you're comfortable. Yes. That's the anomaly. The reality is that most of the success, most of the great things, most of the great stories,
Starting point is 00:30:13 Most of the iconic personalities started from very little. And the reason that they were able to achieve those things is because they learned how to compete and fight at a young age. Okay. So like this whole lie about that it's luck or it's this or it's an anomaly. It's just shit that people fill their brains with so that they don't have to admit that they could do the work too. To justify their excuses. Right. 100%.
Starting point is 00:30:43 had little or had very worst circumstances, they told themselves that I'm not going to accept this. Yes. And they see it the examples, let's say somebody living somewhere in a very third world country is looking at you and they know your story and they say that if he can do it, I can do it too, no matter what my circumstances is and that's when they become something. Well, I mean, look, dude, if that's your case and you're listening in some East butt fuck country, the first step would be to put yourself in an environment where your dreams are possible. Which means you have to figure out how to get somewhere like that, right? It's not here.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Yeah. You can subscribe to Operator Standard and learn some tricks there. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, man. Guys, remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links video, go to Andy Fricela.com. You guys can check them all link there. Actually, I take that back.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'll fucking be people with real ambition that want to fucking win. Those are the great people. Yeah, that's who we want here. Yeah. That's who we want here. Yeah. If you're coming here to fucking Aloha snack bar. some shit. Yeah. Your dreams are possible there. Yeah. Keep those dreams over there. You know what I'm
Starting point is 00:31:46 let's get to the cruise. Now, we're at headlong number one. Let's dive into it. Now, Andy, it's been a very interesting day. A lot of very, like, I know I say this a lot, right? Like, we got a lot of shit. There's some weird shit happening. Like what? And you kind of led up to it with the Candleheart stuff. It's just weird, bro. It's people are doing some weird shit. They shut Cern down. Might be, dude. It might be, dude. It might fucking be. I think first we got to go to the White House, all right, because they posted something that is probably one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, post it, let alone from an actual government entity and official account.
Starting point is 00:32:27 So the White House, the official White House Twitter account posted a video, no caption, no nothing. Let's check it out. That was posted on the account. Yeah. What the fuck is going to say, bro? What the fuck is happening?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Okay, so we have that, which I think that by itself is fucking weird. We're not even a serious country. It's not, for real. That's what our government's posting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 We're definitely in assimilation. Yeah. Bro. Yeah. Like, and you know how the, you know how the fucking internet is, bro.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Like, it's going to be fucking conspiracy theorist and the fucking super. crazy they're gonna get in they know that too that's what like dude so it's just like come on but can we get just yeah but why so if they know that and they posted that that that means that they want that yeah there's no yeah I mean why else would so so what are they wanting people to talk about or not notice that's happening beyond that what's interesting you say that you get what I'm saying I get it look over here yeah 100% not over here so what else is happening that
Starting point is 00:34:11 they don't want people picking up on that's right well there's some things happening but in the string of weird shit leading up to that point this other article comes out today that an ancient biblical prophecy is unfolding in the Dead Sea and here's what it might mean saying that an ancient biblical prophecy linked to the end of the world may be beginning to unfold at the Dead Sea
Starting point is 00:34:37 the Dead Sea is a landlocked salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east the West Bank to the West and Israel to the southwest. It sits in the Jordan River Valley, uh, rift valley and is the lowest land elevation on earth. Fresh water pools filled with plants and aquatic life have emerged beside the famously barren body of water about 12 miles east of Jerusalem.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Development is extraordinary because, uh, because the Dead Sea located about 1,400 feet below sea level is nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean and ordinary, uh, ordinarily will kill fish within minutes. But now there is life sprouting there. So you have that, right? Now, back to the reality of the world where they don't want you guys to see is all these strings of violence happening across the country and the world.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Three dead in Seattle, five others injured, a two-year-old boy among them being killed. There was also a terrorist attack that occurred in Berlin. And the crazy liberals, they're just mad that it wasn't a white person who did it. you saw this shit no oh bro it's insane yeah on saturday i suspected believed to be tied to berlin's islamic scene uh plowed through the berlin gay pride parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others uh the berlin christopher street parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in europe the killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual christopher street day celebration um the son reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with the bladed
Starting point is 00:36:14 weapon and attack people in the park near the end of the parade route. Now, a woman at a vigil for this, she said that when she first heard about the attack, she had hoped that the attacker was not Muslim, but instead a white Christian man, which is absolutely insane. And then what makes it worse is that a little bit later at a press conference, the mayor of Boland, he has. for people not to even fucking talk about it. Check this clip.
Starting point is 00:36:48 As the CSD organizers in Berlin, we are distraught about what happened yesterday. Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everybody who has been affected by this terrible event, we would like to offer our thanks to all volunteers and guests who wanted to demonstrate peacefully with us. Many of these people suffered much emotional stress yesterday. What they experienced will have long-lasting effects.
Starting point is 00:37:27 We are trying to offer emotional support, psychological support. This is needed for our team as well. I'm grateful to my team. Thank you. We are grateful to all people who assisted, All first responders, our mayor has rightly praised the collaboration with the police. The quick professional response was decisive in this context. We are also grateful to the Fire Brigade, Berlin Senate, all authorities who have been involved in this collaboration.
Starting point is 00:38:13 in Berlin, stands for solidarity, respect, coexistence. A city open to the world was on the street yesterday. What we need now, we believe, is to take a measured approach to support everyone affected. We will not get involved with any speculation. We will wait for the result of the police investigation. Our basic approach has not changed. We reject all forms of violence. Ideologies, be they religious, or other extremists, are trying to suppress people.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We do not want this deed to be instrumentalized for political ends. We don't want any groups to be placed under suspicion for this. People are trying to divide our society and set some people against, others. As a CSD in Berlin, we will not allow this. So you don't support violence and you don't want to single out a group, but you hoped it was white dude. That's right. That's right. A white Christian.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Okay. Right. These people are delusional. Okay. You're never going to get these third world extremists to accept your shit. It doesn't matter how much you advocate for them, how much you try to. to be on their side, how,
Starting point is 00:39:53 you know, you welcome, oh, you're welcome here. You're not welcome there. Right. And they're trying to bring their to here.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's right. Okay. And, you know, I think a lot of these people's worldviews are being fucked with because it's not white people doing it. It's fucking Islamist extremist.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Okay. And, uh, you know, I did see this clip. I saw a clip of some girl do like a breakdown of it. And she was like, you know, I see basically she was saying that it's white people's problem because the white people were happy that the Muslim drove into the parade, which that's not the case either. Like these people are always grasping for straws trying to like figure out how to blame and like what this comes down to is a worldwide accepted narrative against white people. It's acceptable to be racist towards white people.
Starting point is 00:41:07 It's acceptable to persecute Christians and it's not acceptable to do that to any other religion or any other race. And that is a global norm at this point. It's a global narrative. Right. So, you know, like how when you're at the vigil in the first, and what you have to say is that when it first happened, I thought it was a white Christian man.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Like that, you thought wrong, bitch. It never is. Yeah, it's exactly the people you've advocated for coming to your country for the last 15 years that we all told you hated you. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:41:43 And it's funny because now we're seeing these situations like the gay crews that was not allowed to dock into these other Muslim-based countries. And they couldn't understand why. Well, bro, did you think that we were lying? Right. They fucking hate you. They don't tolerate you. Okay, you only get tolerated in our country and in Western civilizations.
Starting point is 00:42:08 You don't get tolerated in Asia. You don't get tolerated in Africa. You don't get tolerated in the Middle East. And those are the countries that you advocate for us. to be more like like what what is wrong with your fucking brain right but you know we all see you of them not let you know these people don't think and they don't know and it's they they're ignorant and they hear a few buzzwords and then they think that that's the way it is and and dude they're finding out and they're going to continue to find out it's going to get more and more the more and more
Starting point is 00:42:39 these third world Muslim extremists come to the United States the more anti-gay violence there's going to be because it's not tolerated in their culture. It's useful idiots. Yeah, I know. I'm aware. They're cheerleading the shit in. They're cheerleading their own. Yes, 100%.
Starting point is 00:42:57 It's going to kill them. Yeah, man. And they're advocating for more of it. Yeah. Well, you know. And then when we try to remove them, they get mad at us for trying to remove them. Yeah, I know. Well, that's why you can't listen to them.
Starting point is 00:43:09 They should have no, they should have no more weight in anybody's discussion regarding anything like this because they're so misinformed and so misled that they were literally cheerlead their own death. And that's not, that's not something that I think even somebody who might have a negative viewpoint towards their lifestyle, most people, most people that don't agree with gay, LGBTQ, they're not like, at least here in America, right? They're not like advocating for them to be slaughtered. No. Okay. But in other countries, that's the solution. The solution is we'll fucking kill them. They're immoral.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Which I think it's an important separation here for just your average gay person. The pedophiles, there might be some people calling for the, that's different. There might be some calls. Those are two different things. Yeah. Okay. It's crazy, man. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:44:02 It's crazy. Now, I mean, the one thing that is weird, man, and I've been seeing a bunch of this, and we don't talk about it much on the show, but just this, you know. Go back a little bit. Go back two slides to where the guy was speaking. Yeah. I think they got a mole. in their organization.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Why you say that? Well, see the homie to the right. Uh-huh. Play the video. Chat? Check out that dude's mustache. Look real close. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I think then we got a mole. All right. They've been into, we've been into change. You want to know where the fucking mole is, bro. Oh, fuck. Yeah, look at his face, too. He's like, fuck, I got to stand up here.
Starting point is 00:44:42 He's fucking face. He's wanting to get him. to his fucking uh his fucking nazi rally you know he's he's deep undercover bro oh yeah they had but like look dude you know like this is a little bit of dust here
Starting point is 00:44:55 and this is strong bro super his head oh fuck yep bro imagine all the gay shit he's been having to do just to keep his cover oh man
Starting point is 00:45:13 Spot the mole. Oh, bro. Yeah, he spot it. Yeah. He's in too good of shape, too, man. Oh, yeah, I mean, fuck, he works out. I mean, but, okay, but hold on. A lot of gay dudes work out.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah. They're typically pretty fit. Here. Yeah, they're typically pretty fit. Yeah. That's true. Like that fucking stellar shape. Stellar.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I mean, that's a fucking specimen. He said DJs and strays the ruler. Oh, shit, man. Yeah. Yeah. One of the theories have been coming out here, though, dude, it's like, I mean, are we,
Starting point is 00:45:53 it definitely feels like, bro, if this were the end times, would you, I'd be okay. I'd be okay. I told you, man. Like, I'm glad that I'm like, halfway down my life. You know, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:46:05 you're all gonna have a mess to clean up, dude. It does suck, though, that, like, I can finally, like, you know, look good. I can fit in your cars and shit. And it's like, fuck, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Trump is about to start playing. Yeah, well, bro. Yep, maybe. I'm saying, dude, it's fucking crazy, man. I don't know, man. You got shit coming to life in the Dead Sea, fucking, you know, cheerleaders advocating for their own fucking murder. It's so weird, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:31 It's like you want to sit down with them and say, how can you guys advocate for this when you can literally look at how they treat gay people? Like, how do you advocate for third world migration How is this your issue? Yeah. How? Like, how?
Starting point is 00:46:50 That, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's like, oh, I'm going to advocate so that I get cancer. Like, it's the same shit. Like, you don't see anybody out there saying they wish they would get cancer. No. You don't be, I see me as to say that I wish I got AIDS or I wish someone would murder me. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Right. But you see these people advocating legitimately to bring in to their fucking neighborhoods, people that are willing. to Aloha snack bar their ass in front of the whole fucking town square. Like, dude, what are you thinking? What are you thinking? I can get down with, you know, hey, man, we got to have empathy for everybody and this and that. But like, the term suicidal empathy is highly appropriate in this particular case.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Oh, yeah. It's like direct, it's like a direct. advocation for their own extermination. It's fucking weird. It's like, look, look, look, they're letting them into their countries. Yeah. Yeah. Like they're laughing at us.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Yeah. And then, and then they're saying shit like, oh, dude, yeah, they're going to destroy white people. No, they're going, they are not going to destroy white people. They're going to destroy you. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Shit's crazy out there, guys.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Let us know down in the comments. what you guys think. With that big sense, let's keep cruising. Got headline number two. What's that saying? It's like what's the, how long does it take for conspiracy theory to come true or whatever?
Starting point is 00:48:30 What's that saying? Like six months? It's like six months, right? Yeah. Depends on who's talking about it. Here's another one. Yeah. It's come true now.
Starting point is 00:48:38 There's data. There's facts now. Turns out, dead internet theory was right. AI agents are eating the web. growing by nearly 8,000% and rewiring the internet's business model. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Fuck. Yeah. All right. We got the facts. Yeah, it's 6040 now. Bro. Yeah, 60% of the internet's fake. Bro.
Starting point is 00:49:04 The dead internet theory has floated around internet forms since the 2010s. And the idea that the internet is dominated by non-human activity was often dismissed as a fringe conspiracy. Now, become a measurable fact. Not only do multiple cybersecurity firms agree that bots outnumber humans online, they likewise are struggling to answer when the flip happened or what metrics to use to measure it. So CloudFair just released this report. It's Thales Bad Bot Report.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Okay. And they detail this out. I read through a lot of it. I have their kind of bullet points or key findings. Okay. And this is what they have come up with, is that there are 17.2 trillion. Okay. That's the number of bot requests that blocked by fails in 2025.
Starting point is 00:50:03 21% bot attacks targeting business logic. The percentage of internet traffic made up by bad bots. So this is not just bots and just bad bots. Right. 40%. 40%. Okay. 12 and a half time the year over year increase in AI enabled bot attacks.
Starting point is 00:50:24 The percentage of AI bot attacks targeting retail sites is up 20%. 53% of all internet traffic is made up of bots. Okay. Simple bot attacks accounted for 42% of their findings. The percentage of bot attacks using Chrome to appear as legitimate traffic. traffic. So they're now modeling websites completely. And this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is BOT's fucking AI technology completely, uh, masking itself as legitimate websites as legitimate browsers as legitimate
Starting point is 00:50:58 retail stores 41% increase of this. Yeah. Um, 24% of BOT attacks targeted financial services. Uh, the 47% of internet traffic is attributed to human traffic. Um, bots, uh, BOT's, uh, Bata tax targeting APIs is 27%. It's been absolutely insane. Now, Cloud Fair, which is the internet security and performance giant used by millions of websites worldwide, says the crossover occurred in June,
Starting point is 00:51:29 with bots generating 57.5% of web page requests. Thales a French tech group that protects data security for organizations and governments, dates the crossover back to 2023, issuing a bad bot report that put bot traffic at 53% in 2026. Now, the discrepancies reflect that there's no one standard way to measure bot traffic. There's no single provider has access to activity across the entire web, according to Rudy Yang,
Starting point is 00:51:56 pitch books Enterprise and Retail Fintech analyst who wrote the firm's July report about agentic AI traffic. They say, quote, there's a lot of missing pieces of information, but a lot of the observed data that suggests the same thing, which is like there is more bot activity. Yangtoed fortune. Agenic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you're seeing. And so this makes me think, dude, it makes me think. You know, it's like, you know, I like to troll and I troll heavily, right?
Starting point is 00:52:30 And every now and then I'll get fucking hit. And like, you know, but it really solidified this idea that, like, there is a almost 60% chance at this point in time. that I might who I might be going back and forth with is not real at all yeah and like not just like not real like somebody's alt account or somebody's you know anonymous like they're not real at all yeah it's fucking insane yeah now it makes me think though like what does this truly do to the echo chamber of the world you know what I'm saying whatever they wanted to bro it's fucking dangerous yeah it's fucking dangerous what do you got on this man well I got a lot on this okay um Number one, I'm just going to start out straight up. Let's do it. You know, I have theoperatorstander.com where there are no bots. No bots.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And there's a community of real people who are doing real things that will help you also do real things that connect with each other and do things in analog reality where they actually build real shit. And if you're looking to get away from the bots and you're looking to get back to human connection building actual relationships instead of just arguing with motherfuckers on the internet, I would highly suggest that you check it out because the tools that we have built within it actually make winning legitimately, nearly impossible as long as you execute and use the tools that are provided. It is the world's first behavioral operating system that will account for more success over the next 10 years than any other single piece of technology that has ever been created.
Starting point is 00:54:07 And it's live now. And we are in, we are still building it out and we're in the early phases, but if you're interested in something like that, I'd highly suggest spending your time there because that's where productive people live. And that's what we do there is we build, create, become better human beings that create situations where we cannot be oppressed the way that we are. And we are the resistance of personal excellence and autonomous, excellent humans that think for themselves, that progress, that get in shape, that build things, that create. things that become things. So if you're tired of all this bullshit, check out operatorstander.com.
Starting point is 00:54:45 That's the first thing I'm going to say. The second thing I'm going to say is, which I have a few, is we see this on the internet. Okay. Like, look how good the AI accounts are now. There are so many AI accounts that you have such a hard time telling if it's a real person or a fake person. And where you're seeing this, the most right now, is with the fake only fans accounts. Okay, you're seeing all these hot girls come out of nowhere. And, you know, then they have a Fansley link or an Only Fans link. And these dudes who are creating these things are making a fucking fortune. And there's millions of them.
Starting point is 00:55:31 And then what they do is they get you on there. cranking your meat and then they blackmail you for more shit yeah you use the hip word gooning goonin groaning you're meat gooning stroking the sausage
Starting point is 00:55:46 right pumping the pepperoni starting to line more right yeah whatever man you know doing work and then they get that video of you and then they demand all your shit and all your money so all you dudes out there that haven't broke free of that you better be
Starting point is 00:56:02 aware of that Okay, you hear that Meda? But the point is, the point is, is that we are in a situation where most people cannot tell the difference between AI and reality anymore. Okay. Now, let me ask you this. How long has that technology existed? Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:25 You know my real ant, bro? How long has that technology existed before we knew about it? Way longer. Okay. Way longer. So why would? AI automatically be interested listen dude I'm gonna tell you this and this isn't this is a speculation I do not believe that AI was created by Sam Altman and you know these guys out here
Starting point is 00:56:53 Elon Musk and all these guys I do not believe that I believe that's been it's been a it's been the same thing that we saw with social media where the CIA was running life lock life log and then they closed it and the next day Facebook appears. I believe this is deep state technology that was strategically released at a specific time for a specific reason. And the reason that I believe
Starting point is 00:57:18 that it was released at that time was because there's so many crimes against humanity that have come up. There's so many situations like with this Epstein stuff where there's like these videos and all this crazy shit that this is how they're going
Starting point is 00:57:32 to weasel out of accountability eventually because eventually all of these things that have been coming around and been talked about are going to come to the public eye and when they come to the public eye they're going to say well fuck that's fucking fake that's a and even just the accusation of it being AI takes credit to the fucking exactly sale exactly yeah bro so there's that okay then there's the idea of the technology companies. And we know this because when Elon bought Twitter, he told us this. Twitter files. Twitter had its own system of bots inside of Twitter that they use to curb the narrative, whichever which way. And not only do they use it to curb the narrative, they use it
Starting point is 00:58:20 to create the perception of traffic so that people will come back over and over and over again. And if you think about it from a business aspect, it makes perfect sense. There's no laws against it. Right. All right. So like for example, it's unethical. Let's just say an operator standard. Yeah. Okay. We have a community. That's that's the, that's not the main product, but that's part of the product. And I made 50,000 bots and I put them all in there. And all of them were programmed to interact with people, make them feel important, you know, talk back and forth, this, that. That helps the business model. For sure. Okay. Because now it brings people like belonging. brings people in, it lowers attrition, people are sucked into the conversations, and also what it does is by having the perception of that many accounts, it actually drives the value of the
Starting point is 00:59:11 tech. Okay, so there's multiple motivations for these big tech companies to have their own networks of bots working inside and not want to remove them. What happens if meta, and this, by the way, is the only way that they will save their company. It's the only way. It's the only thing. It's the only, way they are on metal will lose long term if they don't all the social medias will lose long term if they don't stop this because people are already becoming wise to it and what they're doing as a response is just disconnecting they're all the business trends all the lifestyle trends everything that's happening in the world is moving back towards analog it's moving towards actually connecting with human beings it's moving towards um you to flip flones okay non smart
Starting point is 01:00:00 devices. People do not, they understand what's happening to a degree, to enough of a degree, to where they are making the moves to move away from this. Okay. And when we think about social media and we think about the appeal of it, it's, I've been doing it long enough basically from the beginning where I've seen the evolution firsthand. You know, when you first started on social media, you were able to, it was cool because you were able to connect with people that you had lost touch with that, you know, maybe you haven't seen since grade school or high school or college. And that was cool because you're like, oh, what's this person up to? What's that person up to? Okay. But then as it progressed, it became this new identification system for celebrity.
Starting point is 01:00:48 All right. And then the influencer was born. Yeah. Okay. Now, does it benefit the social media platforms to allow influencers to use bots to progress their brand or does it hurt them? It helps them. Okay? Because now you have a person that has some influence and you're amplifying that, which then amplifies their own sense of self-worth and their own attachment to the platform, which keeps them using. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:22 And back in the day, like in the earlier Instagram days, a big part of, you know, know the random Joe having 500,000 people. Dude, do you know how many people, 500,000 people really is? That's a lot of fucking people. Okay. You're telling me, Steve, from high school, who makes videos about fucking blah, blah, blah, has 500,000 people watching them? No.
Starting point is 01:01:46 No. Okay. So in the early days, this is how it worked. You had a connection at meta or at here or there, and they would help build your page. okay or you had like a black hat hacker who owned a bot farm and they would build your page okay then it progressed to where the social media companies and i don't know if this was a part of the plan or if it was something they just figured out along the way but they figured out that by using their own their own bot networks and their own technology they have they could also drive
Starting point is 01:02:22 their own platforms. Right. Okay. Then it went to, well, if we can use our own bot platforms to create celebrity for people that's going to keep them to continue to use, we could actually use this same bot platform to curb the fucking cultural narrative in society. There comes government pressure. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:42 So now they're using their bots to attack people to have a certain point of view and reinforce people that have another point of view. Okay. So now we have a skewed social. um narrative that isn't isn't reflective of reality in the world world and that's why when you go online the temperature online is much different than the temperature in the real world right and it's it's noticeable like you can notice it you could see it right and people are because they can now see that and they are things like you know when the twitter files came out and they basically
Starting point is 01:03:17 admitted that they were doing this now people have begun to disengay And they're and I actually really like this that this is happening because businesses are going to have to adapt to running in real life. And most of these businesses that exist right now built their businesses completely on social media not understand like we do. They had two skills. One, they could post some shit that people liked and two, they understand how to run targeted ads. The days of those people winning are fucking over. They're fucking over. You might be able to generate some cash flow, but like this is going to decline, decline, decline, decline, decline, decline.
Starting point is 01:03:59 And the companies that actually know how to build connection and culture and community and do things the analog way to build their companies are going to win. And I'm excited about that because that's where I cut my teeth in business was before, was pre social media. So I know those skill sets very well. And I actually had to adapt those skills to social media. and now they're going back to the other way and transferring those skills to social media is much easier than transferring the social media skills back to reality because dude,
Starting point is 01:04:32 when you think about like how to run a company, okay, if you get a lot of these experts to have these massive brands on how to run a company, they don't really talk about how to run a company. They're talking about how to create a fucking product, how to create a funnel, and how to sell it online. There's all kinds of other things that go into actually
Starting point is 01:04:49 operating a company, okay? They don't know how to manage teams. They don't know how to have conversations. They don't know how to sell to people. They don't know really why people buy because the ad platforms are helping them figure it out. They do a form. Yeah, they don't. There's all kinds of things that they do.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yeah, they don't know. So there's going to be this mass decline of these e-com type brands and analog brands are going to start winning like big time again. And I like that. I think that's good for me personally. but I also think it's good for the world. Yeah. You know, so like, dude, just some evidence.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Like one of the, like, there's a data point out there that shows like the kids between 14 and 16 are choosing flip phones over smartphones. Okay. Why are they doing that? Because those young kids understand that social media is bullshit. Okay. It's only the ages between like 25 and 45 that have been in it for the last 20 years that still think that that's all. All there is. Everything.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Right. Yeah. So like all these internet celebrities. Yeah. And the only way that these social media platforms are going to survive is by legitimately eliminating the bots. But that's, that's a pain point that they don't want,
Starting point is 01:06:02 they don't want to rip that Band-Aid off because then it's going to demoralize a lot of their big influencers because their traffic's going to go to nothing. Well, and they'll lose a lot of money because I'm sure the advertisers who buy money for, you know, oh, you got eight billion people on your platform. Let me fucking. Yeah, of course. They're going to, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:06:20 Yeah, it fucks their whole model. The entire model. So, but they're going to be fucked anyway. So they're better off ripping the Band-Aid off eliminating the bots and running the business, taking two steps back to keep, continue to run as opposed to like continue to play this fucking shell game. Yeah. And it used to be like, okay, this guy, you could tell like people were buying likes and follows and shares and all the shit, right? You could see that.
Starting point is 01:06:45 But here's the thing now. There's so many bots now. that no matter who you are, no matter what you post, you're going to have bot traffic on your fucking post. So just because someone has bot traffic on their post does not mean that they're buying those things. Right. It's just the majority, 60% of the internet is fucking bots now.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Okay. So now they've, they got themselves kind of in a corner that is going to be difficult for them to get out of, especially once the culture completely changes to back to analog. I mean, dude, look how many people are opting out of? of wanting to live in urban environments. Look how many people are wanting to move to small towns and live a simple life and get out of this social media shit.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I mean, dude, people are posting less. They're- I'm seeing so many more black people in my area. I get it. Like, I get it. I guess so many more blacks moving in my area. I fucking can't stand it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Well, my point is that we're running into a culture, the cultural shift is already happening. And I think it's too late for them to fix it. You know, but this is how they've cultivated cultural narratives. And dude, the thing, the thing, the thing to really, okay, like for example, this is the thing that is to really think about. Think about all the kids that were not alive during 9-11. Okay. And then think how bad the video quality was during 9-11. Like in that like back then I mean it was awesome because like an HD yeah bro we were like holy shit look at this but like now compared to that I mean it's it's not it's not comparable right
Starting point is 01:08:32 so how easy how easy is it to make historical videos that are completely fabricated in order to curb the history of what people think is reality or not because they weren't alive during that phase no way to very right so like a lot of people argue that the holocaust was made And there's all kinds of people that say that. Okay, I'm not saying it was or wasn't. I'm saying there's a lot of people. That's a fucking very popular belief that is held. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:02 If you could do that with history books after 50 years, how fast could you do that with videos after 15 years? Instantly. Right. It's fucking instant. So, so like, dude, we're in a situation where unless people completely unplug and just live their lives, you can't. trust anything that's on the internet unless it's coming from someone who's been on the internet the entire time because you don't even know if that's a real person like half of these influencers that we see online i've never met them before i don't even know if they're real
Starting point is 01:09:36 right i don't even know if they're real people it's it's fucking scary dude it's fucking scary but that's another uh that's another uh w on the scoreboard i guess i saw this was kind of interesting the conspiracy chart So it's like, out of all of these conspiracies, which ones are real, right? Things that actually happened, MK Ultra, right? Yeah. Yeah, here, look, this is the point I'm making here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Okay. You got right here on this fucking chart, things that actually happen, MK Ultra, Operation Paperclip, the Tuskegee experiment, Project Mockingbird, FBI spying on MLK, Watergate. All right. Cool. now go to the top okay um George Floyd crisis actor Pizza gate uh
Starting point is 01:10:30 Nazis on the moon cultural Marxism these are all products of the things that they say are fucking real that's right that's the point okay do you think they're going to come out and say oh yeah by the way we're using these things that you know are real to create these things that we're going to like that's right yeah Like, bro, that chart is just total propaganda by looking at it. You know?
Starting point is 01:10:58 Like, uh, the ivermectin cure is COVID. That's dangerous to yourself and others. Yeah, clearly. That's, because ivermectin has no fucking side effects basically and is cheap. And it actually cures a lot of shit. So it's, you know, there's a lot of danger there. You know, uh, the unequivocally false, but mostly harmless, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:17 Tupac is in Serbia, you know, uh, Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer Elvis lives right. Stevie Wonder isn't blind. Yeah. You know, we have living in reality. We live in a simulation. So that's more real than the COVID vaccine having microchips or nano fucking chips. Right.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Okay, so you're telling me. Presidential election being stolen. Where's that? Right here. Reality denial. Yeah, but see, and two years ago, that would have been in the top. And that's how, what? Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams. To say that, that's dangerous to your self, Andy. You're being dangerous. Unequivocally detached from reality, right? Like, anti-Semitic point of no return. Yeah, that's the big one. Oh, my God. So all of these things, if you believe them are anti-Semitic.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Yep. Like, if you believe. Hollywood's turning your kids gay? That's anti-Semitic. Why would that be anti-Semitic? Exactly. Why? Yeah, okay, I haven't heard that one
Starting point is 01:12:23 I don't know what that one is Bill Gates to population Yeah, flat earth is anti-Semitic Deep State is anti-Semitic Why is deep state anti-Semitic? Why is that anti-Semitic? That's a great question Hmm
Starting point is 01:12:39 Why don't you explain that one to us? The great replacement, yeah, yeah, for sure Yeah, the great replacement that we can all fucking see with our own motherfucking eyes happening George Soros Yeah, you can't even say say his name. That's fucking anti-Semitic.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Is he on there? Yeah, right in the middle, oh God. Oh, God. Yeah. So basically that's all the shit that's actually happening. That's right.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Yeah, that's right. That's right. Good job, Abby Richards. Yeah. Fucking retard. Yeah, bro. Bro, we get that person on the fucking show, explain this chart to us.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Walk us through this one. Yeah. Walk us through this one. How the fuck. is George Soros anti-Semitic. Can't even say it. Can't say it. It sounds to me like that as long as you have a percentage of Jewish in your blood,
Starting point is 01:13:33 you can say anything's anti-Semitic and excuse whatever you're doing. That's right. That's right. So, you know, with that being said. And what does that create? Shabbat Shalom. Hold on. What does that create?
Starting point is 01:13:45 That creates more hate. That's right. Yeah. But I am going to now recognize and identify as, as a Jewish. As a black Jewish man. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:55 Well, you know all Jews are black. As Kanye. Shabbat Shabbat Shalom. How do you have? Shabbat Shalom. Yeah. Dude. My nigga.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's so fucking weird, man. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah. And the more shit you call anti-Semitic that clearly isn't anti-Semitic, the more anti-Semitism you actually create. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Guys. Which makes you think that they must want to create that.
Starting point is 01:14:19 They want more. Yeah, they do, bro. Because they want people to actually hate Jewish people. But why? So they can bust in all these humanitarian regulations, right? Like surveillance. You can't even say the N-word right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:33 That's right. That's right. I feel like it's the same thing as telling a kid, hey, don't touch that outlet. And if you keep telling that all the time, the kid's going to eventually go touch it. Yeah. The same thing. They're saying, like, this is the act to stop Jewish hate when nobody's asking for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:50 And you're putting them into their mind. Yeah, right, exactly. Exactly, dude. Yeah, man, guys, jumping on this conversation, though, let us know down in the comments. Hold on. Getting back to the point of what we were saying is that you always have to ask who benefits. Okay. Who benefits and why?
Starting point is 01:15:08 All right. So when we talk about bots on the internet, does it benefit the platforms to have bots or not? Yes. It does. Does it benefit the government to allow those bots to continue? you. Yes. Okay. Does it benefit the government to allow AI to exist in our world in terms of making videos that appear real that are not real? Does it benefit that? Yes. Okay. So like, but people are getting smart and they're figuring it out and like, dude, the best thing that could happen here is that
Starting point is 01:15:50 people fucking leave and they join other tech platforms that are bought free and actually have communities with real people if they want that in their life right i don't think that people are totally disenfranchised with the idea of social media i think they're totally disenfranchised with the idea of social media being complete bullshit yes and that every time they open their phone, they spend two hours watching clickbait bullshit that sucks the life out of them. I think people are tired of that. You know, back in the day when you use social media, you didn't sit on there for nine hours. You got on, you made a little post.
Starting point is 01:16:32 You fucking looked at other, you got the fuck off and you lived your life. And because of greed and because of the one of bigger and more and more money and all these things, they operated under an idea of, okay, well, how can we get people to live their lives on social media? Remember the meta world? Remember the digital world with the glasses? Yeah, the metaverse. How'd that fucking go over. That's right. Oh yeah, I went over just like I said it would because people want real connection. They want to talk to people in real life. And we're seeing this, bro. We're seeing people get rid of their cell phones and put a landline phone in their fucking house again. Yes.
Starting point is 01:17:15 It's trending. Yes. Yes. You know, dude, the cell phone enslaves you, bro. Like, like, think, okay, let's just take the idea of a regular employee or an entrepreneur in 2026 versus in 1999. In 1999, the year I started our companies, when I locked that motherfucking door, you're done. The business was over for the day. okay now I went and worked other jobs so I could build that business but if you were an employee and you locked the door the rest of the afternoon the rest of the day was at your discretion that's not the case anymore and I don't care what company you work for and I don't care what you talk about boundaries and all this shit it is expected
Starting point is 01:18:03 of employees to be on call all the time and that's not just that's everywhere that's every company you're expected to text back you're expecting to the email back. What does that do to the quality of life for everybody? Okay. And that the reason that is is because the business owners understand that they're operating on a 24-hour timeline as opposed to a 9 to 5 timeline that would have happened earlier, right? Like back in the earlier days of our business, it would be like, okay, yeah, me and Chris and Jason, we might be on the phone. Sal, we might be on the phone after work on a little call. And we'd be on. be like, okay, well, here's the plan, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:18:45 We'll address it tomorrow. All right. Now, because shit has to move so fast, it's like, okay, well, let's loop this guy in and let's loop that in and let's do this. And dude, nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. But that's the requirement to be competitive because of the environment that's been unlocked.
Starting point is 01:19:02 If you don't do it, somebody else will. That's right. That's right, dude. And that's when you talk about like, you know, really enslaving people. Just saying whips and chains no more. That's exactly. It's a, and then by the way, we take half their money. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Half their money that they earn from this job. And then we send it over to other countries. Okay? And don't spend it on our own country. Oh, and then by the way, the shit that they do have, their house, their cash, their savings, we print trillions of dollars on the back side, which devalues the work that they actually did. So we don't live in a free society of any sort at all And people who think that we do You just don't understand what's actually happened
Starting point is 01:19:53 You're not your eyes are not open But here's some AI sloped I'm not going to say they're stupid Because their assumption should be That we live in a free country That's a reasonable thing We've been told that our whole lives But that's not reality man
Starting point is 01:20:08 We don't live in a free society anymore We already don't We are surveilled everywhere where we go. Okay. Well, the flock cameras are new. No, dude, they're not new. They've had license plate readers for fucking 20 years. If you have the right certification for, uh, you know, intelligence company, I could know exactly where the fuck you are right now. I can know where your fucking car is right now. Yeah. I can plug in your plate into a fucking network and it can tell me you're at work at this address. You're there right now. Okay. Do you think,
Starting point is 01:20:43 that on the cell phone, that they haven't been listening to us for 25 years, this is what Edward Snowden got kicked out of the country for. He was telling us that. So like, dude, this idea that we live in freedom is not true. And the only way to fix it is to completely unplug from these systems that are part of this problem. Not all systems are a part of it. Okay. But most of them are.
Starting point is 01:21:10 And then the other way that we got to have a true political. revolution in this country, a true political, I'm not saying violent, a political mandate from the people. And if it takes violence, that's what it takes. But at the end of the day, it has to be a complete revolution. These people who are in power, they are no longer even thinking about you and I. They're not even thinking about us. Everything they think, every decision they make is about who's paid me money and who do I have to appease with this vote, so that I can get reelected the next time so I can continue to be part of this system that gives me the insider knowledge to make money for myself and my family.
Starting point is 01:21:53 And they're willing to enslave the rest of us under the guys that they represent us and do just enough to make it seem as if they are working for us so that we will continue to participate in the system. And people are waking up to that, bro. They're just waking up to it. And there's big disruption and social disorder, rightfully so, on the way. I mean, that's the reality. I mean, dude, we're getting to the point now where these people legitimately truly believe
Starting point is 01:22:25 that they are untouchable. They are untouchable. Okay, we have judges across the country releasing violent offenders over and over and over and over again to recommit violent felonies. Okay. We have people in the government who will literally come out on television the night before they vote and say, I don't stand for this and this and this and this and then the next day go in and vote for exactly that. They don't care anymore. They're not afraid.
Starting point is 01:22:55 They're not worried. And I think that's a delusional position for them to take because when things get bad enough, history shows that people rise up and take shit back over. And I don't think we're that far away from that, not just in America, but everywhere. I think everywhere, everywhere in the West for sure. Yeah, it's real, man. Guys, jumping on this. Bro, what's going to happen when 8 billion people, legitimately, what's going to happen? And I know everybody's going to say nothing.
Starting point is 01:23:27 No, bro, nothing's happening because it's not bad enough yet. What's going to happen when, like, for example, Mondami said he's opening up all these grocery stores that's going to sell it 30% below retail cost, which is then going to put out of business all the legit fucking stores. And because they can't operate efficiently, a government, like, dude, you've been to the DMV, right? Nothing government. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Okay. So we all agree that things do not operate efficiently. What happens when the supply chain gets fucked up and those grocery stores don't have any food after they've already put all the other ones out of business? People fucking starve. Okay. So this comes down in history to the point of pain being the lack of ability to eat. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Rich people are always going to be able to get food. Poor people are not. That's what's coming. And when that happens and we reach a point where billions and billions and billions of people across Europe and the United States and the Western civilizations cannot actually get food, what do you think is going to happen when they realize that there's only like a hundred people on the planet that are causing this disruption. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:39 We all know what's going to happen. Not good. Well, no, it's great for us. Yeah. But it's bad for them. And they continue, you know, the problem that we're going to have is that their technology has become so advanced that, like, for example, like, if you watch these videos, I follow this page on the internet called Conflict Observer, okay?
Starting point is 01:25:00 And it's a page that basically shows videos coming out. of Ukraine, Russia conflict, mostly, all conflicts, but mostly that, bro, have you seen the drones? Have you seen what they do with these drones? Okay, these drones, like you guys, like, you know those little drones you buy off Amazon? The havoc drones, okay, or the, the, these drones are filled with explosives, dude. Okay, so they're flying these fucking drones. They're finding the soldiers and driving the drone just right into the soldier and blowing them up. And this is what we're going to have to deal with.
Starting point is 01:25:35 And so, like, you know, I think if you're like a defense company for a civilian defense company, I think one of the things that you should be thinking about is how do you create a personal use EMP that allows you, I mean, do we're talking Terminator shit now. Yeah. We're talking Terminator shit. I saw a post yesterday that we are currently living in a mix of three movies. One's Terminator. Matrix.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Matrix. Yeah. And one's, uh, was, uh, was, that movie where everybody goes dumb. Idiocracy. Idiocracy. So those three movies, like a weird mix of those three movies.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Yeah, dude. So like, I agree with that. So, and that's not conspiracy, bro. Like, that is happening right now.
Starting point is 01:26:15 Like, we are in a very, like, bro, you have people, like there was this dude, there's been a number of these guys. You had Elon Musk on TV saying
Starting point is 01:26:25 that there was a 10% chance that AI would kill everybody, right? But then you have guys from the inside of these AI companies now coming out. And one of them just came out on Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett and told Stephen that he thinks there's like a 70% chance that humans are going to get exterminated. And how the fuck couldn't they? Okay. Let me explain.
Starting point is 01:26:51 Let's talk about this. All right. You're the elite fucks. All right. You have all the money, all the technology. And now you're creating these autonomous AI robots. at scale and you have this problem in the world of poor people okay and the poor people at any given time can rise up and kill you and take all your shit yeah so who would you rather if you were
Starting point is 01:27:17 them would you rather have billions of poor people that you got to worry about how to feed and how to have jobs and how to have this and that or would you rather just kill them with their fucking technology you say fuck it okay and that should scare the fuck out of every you're not Everybody, bro. Listen, dude. Because the most obvious answer is usually the answer. And if you're one of these people that is in that position, what do you have from this situation that benefits you more? Like, what benefits you more? What benefits you more? Not having billions of people that, like, dude, you know, like people who say, well, they're not worried about our jobs. No shit, because they're going to kill everybody. they don't they're not worried about that you see yeah and that's what we're walking into and people are like oh man you know i can make fucking cat drawings on fucking chat gpt look at my cat with machine gun it's like it's like dude we are running full speed just like we talked about earlier in the show with these people that are LGBT whatever advocating for their own demise
Starting point is 01:28:24 by calling for the the muslim shit that you know not Muslim but the the extremist Islamist shit. We have we have a ton of people that are like just running into the shit because it's neat and it's cool and they're not thinking of the outcome. And then like bro, who the fuck granted? And by the way, I like Elon Musk.
Starting point is 01:28:45 I like Elon Musk. He's a fucking guy I like. Okay. But like who granted these guys the ability to play God over the entire rest of the human race? Okay. The Peter Thiels. Sam Altman's, these people, the guys in China, all these people. Larry Page.
Starting point is 01:29:03 Dude, right. He sounds psychotic. Bro. If you hear him talking on stage. Bro, did you hear fucking Peter Thiel, like, hesitate when they said, you do think that the human race, they said something like, you do think that the human race deserves to exist. And he like, there was like a 15 second pause.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Okay. Like, dude, we're walking into our own extinction. And the only way to fucking not have it happen. is to completely reject it, to completely fucking walk away from it. There was a video I saw yesterday of Larry Page talking about, we currently have about 6 billion people out of the 8 billion under surveillance. We have only 2 billion to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:45 That's his attitude. Yeah, exactly. And so what gives you the right to fucking do that? To surveil everybody. Yeah. And dude, that's what's going to happen, bro. collectively and I think this is going to happen sooner than later because everything moves much faster now collectively people are awakening to what's happening and it's not just the you know
Starting point is 01:30:08 the conspiracy nut jobs it's like the average people like bro I have conversations with average people like dude I got one of my buddies who owns a big company dude and he's kind of like plugged in to his own shit and he's starting to like mess me and text me, he's like, fuck, did you see this? Like, what do you think of that? What do you? I'm like, yeah, man. Like, this is what I've been talking about for the last fucking seven years.
Starting point is 01:30:33 Okay? So, like, I'm not trying to be boohoo scare you, but like, we should be concerned and we should understand that there is an agenda and we are not part of it as humans. We are not fucking part of it. Oh, yeah, everybody, let's put a robot in everybody's house to help assist with the laundry. And then they press a button and the robots kill everybody at one. Like are we not even considering these things? You cannot rule that out Shit's wild man I know dude. I know it's fucking listen dude it is it is legitimately
Starting point is 01:31:12 dystopian mm-hmm like where we're at and and like you know there's not gonna come people don't understand this either you know there's not gonna come this time in history where there's an announcement on TV that says, oh, the world has collapsed. Right? There's not going to be an announcement that says, oh, the world has completely went dystopian. Like, by the way, today's the day. That's right.
Starting point is 01:31:38 Like, that's not how that's going to happen. You're going to walk down the street and you're going to see homeless people and starving people and people fucking trying to survive. You're going to see high crime. You're going to see more technology. You're going to see surveillance. When you're legit discreet.
Starting point is 01:31:57 driving the opening of the movie I-Robot. Bro, it's already happened. That's my point. This has already happened. We're sitting here discussing what's going to happen when the framework of that already exists today. Yeah. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:32:15 You know, like, oh, you think they're going to like just ring an alarm but like, hey, guess what, guys? A dystopia time. That's right. You know, like, we're in it. Was that quote, it's like, you know, you go day by day, nothing seems to change and you look back and everything's changed.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Like, that's going to be it. Yeah. Well, I mean, and we're, we're there now. We're looking back. Yeah, but part of the awakening of people comes from their realization of that change, right? Yeah. And what's the biggest trend in culture right now? The biggest train in culture right now is the fucking 90s, the simple life before the internet.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Okay. So right now, it's like a thing that's like fashionable. Okay. But beyond that, the next step is going to be, wait, we're never going back to that. and people are going to start awakening, right? Like people are understanding what's happening, dude. They just haven't connected it yet. And we're not that far away from that connection happening.
Starting point is 01:33:07 And when 8 billion people realize that there's 100 or 200 people that are ruining the fucking earth, it's going to be chaotic. I'm talking about the largest rubber band snap ever. Yeah, that's right. It's going to happen too, dude. Yeah. It's going to happen. Yeah. Guys jumping on this conversation.
Starting point is 01:33:24 So down in the comments what you guys think with that being cool. Trump had an opportunity to fix it. He chose otherwise. That's the truth. What it looks like. Yeah. Let's keep cruising. We've got a third and final headline, guys.
Starting point is 01:33:37 Headline number three. Speaking of going back to times and how the community in the world are calling for it, begging for it, when you fuck up, sometimes there is no comeback. Cracker Barrel CEO,
Starting point is 01:33:53 Julie Fells Messino steps down after woke rebrand sparked backlash from customers. and even Trump. So she's officially out. Frackleboro CEO, Julie Fails Messino is stepping down after the failure of her woke rebrand last year,
Starting point is 01:34:11 which was rolled back following intense backlash from loyal customers. The company announced Monday. This is the same lady that got on there and said, everybody loved it. That's right. Everybody loved it. I remember we covered this.
Starting point is 01:34:22 Yeah, everybody loved it. We loved it. David Dino, a restaurant exec who most recently served a CEO of Blooming Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse, uh, will replace Messino, uh,
Starting point is 01:34:32 on August 10th, according to a cracker barrel press release. Uh, her departure comes after less than three years at the helm, uh, during which diners revolted against the company's attempt to modernize the southern dining chain last August by axing its most, uh,
Starting point is 01:34:48 its beloved mascot, Uncle Herschel and revamping restaurants without its trademark. The fuck is that. I don't know. The fuck is that? I don't know. It's one of them smart liberal words. Okay.
Starting point is 01:35:01 Yeah. They tried to get me. Yeah, I know. You see that shit? Yeah. The fuck is that, bro. The company has never indicated a search was underway. Very surprising giving the series of positive announcements that the company had early last week,
Starting point is 01:35:16 Brooks said. Michael Gunther, a senior vice president of research at Consumer Edge, said Cracker Barrel had started narrowing losses in June. Quote, but it's not as a. if sales momentum started surging. We will be watching to see what new management communicated about its strategy, particularly as it relates to its core customers
Starting point is 01:35:36 Gunther told the post. The company is way over indexed in the 65-year-old and upcrow. And those customers stayed away. So just to refresh everybody's memory, this is what the former CEO had to say back in August. Honestly, the feedback's been overwhelmingly positive that people
Starting point is 01:35:52 like what we're doing. I'll give you another soundbite. I actually happened to be in Orlando last week with all of our managers. We bring them together and once every other year. And the number one question that I got asked, Michael, was how can I get a remodel? When can I get a remodel? How do I get on the list? Oh, really? So because the feedback and the buzz is so good, not only from our customers, but from our team members. They want to work in a wonderful restaurant. So we're doing everything for our guests and our team members. Well, Julie Messino, it's wonderful to have you here.
Starting point is 01:36:20 Thank you for answering those questions for all the Cracker Barrier fans out there. There's a lot of great changes. Thank you so much. Typical fucking Robin. Can I get shitty-ass CEO communicating in sound bites. She doesn't says it. I'll give you another sound bite.
Starting point is 01:36:36 What's that fucking swallow thing? I don't know. Dude, why do these people all look the fucking same? Okay, they all look the fucking same. They look, there's one of two like character types for these people.
Starting point is 01:36:47 One, the anime type with the fucking green hair and the anime haircut. Okay. And then the next with these thick-ass fucking glasses. Scopes. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:36:58 And like trying to, like, listen, lady, I don't know. Where should go to school? Miami. Oh, she did? Okay. She went to fucking Miami, college educated, never built shit, worked their way up the fucking ladder, has no idea what it takes to fucking build something or how to fucking, you know, create culture or build anything.
Starting point is 01:37:18 Trying to fucking, you know, woke the brand that they're in. Like, dude, they're just out of touch people. Yeah. You have no culture. Bill culture. If you want to go to see what Cracker Barrow, what people in Cracker Barrow want, go to fucking Kentucky, go to fucking Tennessee, go to Southern Illinois, go to Missouri, not fucking Miami. No one's a fuck about Cracker Barrow of fucking Miami. You know what I'm saying? Like go talk to the fucking customers, dude. No.
Starting point is 01:37:49 Like these people are like, bro, do you know how many hours a week I spend in fucking gas stations right now? Just talking to customers? Okay. I stand two aisles away from our fucking coolers and I watch people. And when they buy our shit, I fucking go around and I sneak around and I say, hey, why'd you buy that? Okay. What, dude, and they tell me. And then I'll go out and I'll buy them the fucking can. Okay.
Starting point is 01:38:16 Then I'll go right back. All right. And I watch again. And then when people pick other shit, I'll say, why'd you buy that? Okay. I can't even tell you how many hours a week I do that. It's it's every fucking other day just about Yeah
Starting point is 01:38:29 Anytime you see me and Wally's where I'm like Straight in the cans I've either done my fucking conversations Or I'm about to Okay This fucking lady and all these woke stupid Fuck executives They're too good to do that
Starting point is 01:38:47 They're too good to go out She doesn't want to go talk to regular Americans She doesn't want to talk to fucking salt of the earth people That's right She's better than them. Yeah. Okay? Yes, she is.
Starting point is 01:38:58 And so it's no fucking, I called this when we covered it the first time that she would get fucking fired for this. Yeah. And here we are. You said this over and over. The people who didn't start the brand and it goes to second, third generation, the values and the dedication gets deluded. They don't get it, bro, because they didn't build it. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:39:17 There is a difference between looking at your company on a fucking balance sheet and actually talking to your customers. There's a difference between actually looking at the company as a company that serves customers versus a company that serves a dollar amount to a fucking venture capital firm. It's a completely different fucking mentality. Okay. And all of these fucking Ivy League fuck executives, they think they know everything and they don't know shit. And this is confirmation to all of you small business owners. And I'm going to tell you this directly.
Starting point is 01:39:53 you people who are out there and you're running a power washing company and you've got 10 trucks and you know you're running a retail operation you've got three stores or you've got four restaurants you are 1,000% better than any of these Wall Street fuckers 100% you're not even close so when you doubt your own abilities you have to understand that by going from nothing to something to another one to another one, you have learned the fucking essence of business that these people will never understand. That's right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:40:30 So when we talk about second generation, third generation, venture capital firms, you know, conglomerates, buying up, dude, look, man, these people don't know because they didn't build it. They don't understand the conversations. They don't understand. When the company goes from serving the customer to produce a result. Whether that be your dry cleaning, whether that be getting in shape, whether that be a wonderful meal. Anything. Anything.
Starting point is 01:40:59 When it goes from that to this is an asset in our portfolio that has to perform, that's when the fucking shit's over. It's over. It's over. It's just a matter of time. There are very few people in corporate America that know how to run a motherfucking brand. They just don't. They know how to fucking plug a spreadsheet and say this and that and this. Now, I'm going to say that.
Starting point is 01:41:22 with a caveat. When I say very few, the ones who are good at it are really good at it. That's right. That's right. Okay. That's right. Like the people I'm partnering with, like the guys at the top of the chain, those guys are fucking smart.
Starting point is 01:41:37 Okay. But also, look at the company that I'm partnering with. And Hazer Bush. Okay. Yeah, they made some public mistakes over the last whatever years, right? But the reality is, is that's a hundred. It's one of the oldest companies in America. And they appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:41:52 respect. Dude, it's a huge deal. Their tradition, their fucking, their values, that is something that has remained the same over 150 years. Okay, over 150 years, people are going to do things that customers don't like. I have some fuck back. Okay. Over three years you're going to do that. Okay, you're going to learn these lessons. But the point of the matter is that when you take a second generation or a VC or this or that and you plug them into a successful model, that person generally has never had a single conversation with an actual customer of that brand. That second generation kid, now second generation business owners come in one of two kinds, okay?
Starting point is 01:42:33 They either are the entitled rich kid who gets in there and tries to like pretend they're an entrepreneur. Yes. Okay. Or they go in there with the right attitude because not everybody can help where they're born. Right. Some people are born into great companies, okay?
Starting point is 01:42:47 if you want to honor that company and the people your father or your mother or your aunt whoever to fuck built it you say okay i'm a steward of this brand and my job is to make sure that i take it from here to there okay and then that person becomes a tremendous operator all right there are some awesome second generation operators there are very very very very few very few thirds very few thirds okay but it's all about the attitude that you have is your attitude to step into a role and milk something that's already been built or is your attitude to step into a role and honor the people that founded it by growing it to be what it was supposed to be in the first place so it's but yeah dude like people this woman her she does not belong in a CEO
Starting point is 01:43:39 role I'd fire her for that headshot I'd fire her because she's not equipped to win. Okay, like, dude, that person is an advisor. That person is potentially a C-O-O, okay? Meaning, like, I tell her what to do, and she goes and does it. That's not a CEO, okay? Not a visionary. And people get in that CEO role,
Starting point is 01:44:05 not understanding that they don't have the skills they think they have. Just because you got a CEO title, doesn't mean you're an actual CEO. That ties back to what you said just after the 60 seconds of liberal insanity. It happens to intelligent people too. They're so certain about what they know and they're completely unaware
Starting point is 01:44:25 that there might be something that they don't know. I would argue that it happens to intelligent people more. Because they are very certain about how I learned this. Listen, listen. I got A's in high school. I graduated valedictorian. I got an Ivy.
Starting point is 01:44:41 Lee scholarship. I went here. I won there. I did this. Not realizing that that entire process involves following a list of things that you're told to do. A true CEO does not follow the fucking rules. She tried that, didn't she? No. They look at the whole picture. Yeah. And they say, okay, here's the environment that I'm operating in. Here's what I'm trying to do. And here's how I have to create a system that operates in that environment to create that outcome. And they don't think in terms of like rules. Rules. Like I don't think of like, well, it's never been done before. No, good. Good. That's a fucking opportunity. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's not how these people think. And the reason they don't think that is because they're bound by the mentality of
Starting point is 01:45:31 operating under rules. So they don't take risks. They don't do things that they believe in their heart because they think that it's supposed to be done because they're afraid now well I'll just be fired if I don't do this right we're at a founder CEO you can't fire him that's right you know what I'm saying that also ties back to what this is why so many fucking CEOs of startups are like
Starting point is 01:45:54 literal C and D students because they couldn't follow directions in school you know I couldn't follow directions in school real talk it wasn't because I was stupid dude it was because I couldn't see the point in what they were telling me what to do yes yes I could never understand I'm like why do I have to learn this I'm not going to fucking do this. This is not what I'm going to do. I don't fucking give a shit about this.
Starting point is 01:46:14 I care about this. And then when they would talk about the things I care about, I do really well. Okay, that's typical CEO mentality in academia. All right. They're not the fucking A players. The A players end up being great. When I say A players, I mean, get an A grade, right? Those people become great operational assets. Entrepreneurs. Right. Yeah. They can own it. They can have executive positions because they're good at executing. Yes. Okay. But the CEO, the visionary, the founders, these are the fucking guys that everybody
Starting point is 01:46:45 thinks are retarded. Yes. For real. One of the major commonalities between all the entrepreneurs that I have personally observed is they do not go along with what the rules are. They don't want to follow the rules and they don't accept what's given to them. And they draft away, like you said, see the environment. This is the objective.
Starting point is 01:47:07 I'm going to create a system. It's going to interact with the environment and give me this outcome. And not only that, bro, they understand that everybody else is following the rules. And they understand that when you do what everybody else does, you fall into the fucking fray. Yeah. Get what everybody else gets. Exactly. It's real shit.
Starting point is 01:47:22 Dude, also, like, how you evaluate risk. Okay? Like, how she evaluates risk is if I don't do this, like this is her fucking line of thinking. Okay, her line of thinking, and I don't even know her, and I'm going to tell you what she thought. she thought if we don't fucking make Cracker Barrel with the times and the woke bullshit then we're going to fucking fall out of favor okay but she didn't have an actual cultural read she didn't realize that people are craving that the best thing that Cracker Barrel could do would be go to more old school more old school yes not fucking less okay so she thinks because in her
Starting point is 01:48:03 little echo chamber of academia that everybody thinks this and she she's not willing to go out and get an actual temperature of what's going on. She's evaluating risks such as, well, if I don't make this this way, the company will fucking go away. How entrepreneurs, true visionary entrepreneurs evaluate risk is if I don't fucking do this thing, the company will go away. But it's not about like making it less. It's about making it more.
Starting point is 01:48:31 Right? That's why from a consumer. You want to fucking cracker, bro, you want to pay me $100 million a year. Fucking hire me. I'll have your shit. It's rocking and rolling, bro. That's why from a consumer point of view, I was even questioning whatever she did, was that even necessary?
Starting point is 01:48:44 No. Nobody asks for it. Nobody asks for it. There's not a single motherfucker on the face of the earth that walked into Cracker Barrow and said, I wish it was more like fucking woke. Yeah. Like, bro, they want to see, they want to see grandma in the, dude, you want to make Cracker Barrow fucking awesome?
Starting point is 01:49:02 Take a big ass, open up the fucking kitchen, put grandmas back there, cooking. the fucking food, bro. Let him bring it out and say, hey, sweetie, you know, I got your country fried steak here. You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, make it more authentically country. That's right. You guys got to go through the back door.
Starting point is 01:49:19 Not that authentic. Yeah. You probably cross the lies there. But like, bro, the point of the matter is that, like, dude, she's so far off from what's going on because she lives in her little fucking academic mindset and, and, uh, likely echo chamber. For sure. Do you think that she has gotten in her car, which is probably a Mercedes, okay, and driven up to a rural area and said, knocked on doors and said, hey, have you been to Cracker Barrel? Yeah, I've been to Cracker Barrel.
Starting point is 01:49:57 What do you like about it? Right. What do you want to see from Cracker Barrel? Do you think she did that? No. She didn't do it one time. She probably never even been in the Cracker Barrel. She doesn't want to go out there because.
Starting point is 01:50:08 She's like, I don't want to go out there because it's those people. Yes, exactly. I was just going to say she probably requests an Uber black goes to Soho and makes a $25 cup of coffee. Hanks out with some people. It comes back. Hey, man. Soho's cool to visit too. I'm not knocking that.
Starting point is 01:50:22 But I'm just saying like, bro, if you want to fucking operate in a certain environment, you got to know the environment that you're operating in, which clearly she does not. Definitely. There's a mismatch. Read the room, lady. Get yourself a pickup truck. Drive around and talk to your customers. Fucking.
Starting point is 01:50:37 Dude, this is not. hard. I could correct Cracker Barrel in a fucking week. In a week. Yeah. Yeah, man. Pay me, bitch. If they start doing that, now we'll know they listen. Well, look what Pizza Hut did. Exactly. Okay, I talked about Pizza Hut. They started doing it. It's crushing.
Starting point is 01:50:52 Killing it. I'm bringing one here. You know that, right? Good. Yeah. Yeah. But like, dude, you guys should be just hiring me as your consultant because I'll fucking fix your shit. Which, by the way, I have a consulting company that we're getting ready to fire up. So any of you that have businesses that are interested in that kind of consult. I will be doing that one-on-one. It's going to be expensive. Okay, but it's because I know what the fuck I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know down to the comments what you guys think. We've reached our destination. Took some detours there. Yeah, we did. Hey, man, I think these are good conversations about, you know, what's going on. It's real. The days of corporate America are fucking over, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:36 They're fucking over. In the business world, they're over. Yeah. The biggest asset in what all you said was somebody would listen to it, try to like filter it and use it to their company in their company and they would make their company 10x because of just what you said in the last hour. If they have the aptitude to do that. There's a lot of people to do, but they're usually founder class people. Yeah, exactly. Like dude, how do you how do you take away the founder of Cracker Barrel?
Starting point is 01:52:02 Okay. That guy was like an old man. All right. I forgot his name. How many country fried steaks you think that motherfucker fucking served? Personally That's what I'm saying how many biscuits and gravy's that he walk out of the fucking Like how many
Starting point is 01:52:17 That sounds like Dan Evans Yeah He's what 80 I don't know if he's alive Okay well he's old he's like old But the point is That guy fucking knows Didn't they interview that guy and he said he hated it
Starting point is 01:52:33 Yeah Yeah he was still alive I guess at the time of recording yeah when we talked about Is he dead now? No, he died 2012. Oh. January 20th. Anyway, the founder,
Starting point is 01:52:44 the founder was just a customer, yeah. Okay, well, the founder guy, how many fucking conversations that guy had? Thousands. He understands what fucking people want. These people do not. He was from Smithville, Tennessee.
Starting point is 01:52:59 Dude, you should go to East Tennessee and fucking talk to people. Yeah. It's not hard. They don't want to do it because they're too good to do it. Exactly. It's real, man. Guys, it is time for our final segment.
Starting point is 01:53:15 As always, we have thumbs up. We're dumb as fuck. We bring a headline in. We talk about it. We vote on it. We give it one of these two options. We got more bear news. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:53:26 Mm-hmm. This one's not a bear fetish. Maybe. That's okay, though. Bears are cute. Maybe. Yeah. I'm still convinced that, I'm still convinced that if I'm still convinced that if I,
Starting point is 01:53:37 I saw a bear in the woods that I'd make friends with them. Yeah. I'm one of them white people. You're saying, well, I mean, you'd be safer with the bear. Look at their ears, man. Look at their face. You can't tell me they're angry. Look at them.
Starting point is 01:53:52 Dude, I could, I could make a bear my friend. Yeah. I made every animal. Every animal I've ever met. I made a friend. Yeah. All of them. It's real.
