cold force. That's cold force to you, my man. He took off down 10 flights of stairs, armed with the shotgun and handgun, and then he blasted through the... He like anime ran. Yeah, it's just like... Also, we need to stop calling these manifestos.

I need like... Yeah, this is like an email. I think this is very weird. Yes, do I think this guy's a time traveler? No. Just checking in. Did you guys tweet the... He did the Henry Martinez Cole Allen tweet?

Yeah, yeah, I got it, sir. Okay. And the weird, the weird art with the other assassination attempt that hasn't happened yet in a year? Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Okay. And you wrote up the script for Caroline Levin and everything, and she's going to say the shots fired thing. Sir, way ahead of you.

Damn, dude, imagine knowing you were on a train with this guy, he just had a bunch of, he had a shotgun, guns, knives. Imagine being one of his, like, students. So Mr. Allen is not coming to class today. Why? What did he do? Well, the kid knows, but he wants to hear the adult try to lie. Adults like, why did he phrase the question that way instead of where is he? It's what did he do?

Oh, oops. Just so if anyone's wondering in the comments, I have severely, I'm back with terrible neck pain and I'm going to. So just stay focused up there. No, I know. I'm just saying, if you've seen me feel. if you see me move strangely. Like Batman? It's, I'm truly on Batman mode.

I almost wore a... Rachel! I was deciding if it was too much to wear the airline pillow just because... Oh, that would have been cute. They would have been cute, yeah. I was almost going to see if we could reschedule so I could go to physical therapy because I am... What do you keep doing to your back and neck? I have compacted vertebrae.

my C5 and C6 and got it under control but then it flared up and it's just You need to decompress right Should you get one of those Teeter hangups? What's that?

The guy John Teeter? I don't know what it is. It's a... That's the thing where you hang upside down? I think they're called Teter hangups. Yeah, because his name is... Yeah.

Maybe. And the guy goes, I feel great. I'm 70 years old and I feel great. physical therapy had helped, but I don't know what happened. Those things are terrifying. Did they let old people just flip themselves upside down like that? Flip my ass upside down.

Let me do the pot upside down because I'm... That actually kind of might be cool. Well, well, he's over there whining and complaining. It's so big. I understand. I bet it's so bad. I'm sorry, buddy. Well, everybody, everybody, uh, press F in the chat to send,

prayers. Please. Or a P, P for prayer. P for prayer. Stay tuned. We got a comment of the week coming at the end of the pod. We've also got the Q&A that we're doing recording today.

So if you missed it this time, sign up at Ben and Amelso.com and we'll get you the next time. Also, I've been asked by my colleague, Steve, on our movies podcast, Cinnamon. He said, why don't you shout out the show on your other show?

And I said, I don't know. I have before, but I haven't lately. And he goes, you should do that again. So go give it a listen. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. They're talking about movés. Muvais.

We're going to watch Devil Wears Prada 2. We watched Michael Jackson movie last week, which was phenomenal. I love it. Wow, phenomenal. We'll talk about it in the bonus maybe. But go check it out if you want to hear our takes on it. But let's see. What have we got for us today?

We've got the Trump assassination. We're going to walk through exactly what happened. We're going to talk about the guy. We're going to cover the funny moments. A lot of hilarious shit happened. And the conspiracies around it. I, for one, don't think. It's funny.

Build the ballroom. They're obsession with the ballroom. Build the ballroom. So nothing like this can ever happen again. Yeah. Yeah. And then we're going to give you a nice little market update because you deserve it. Because you're a sweetie.

You deserve it. We all deserve it. Yeah. You're a big sweetie pie. And I want to give you a big kiss through the YouTube screen. I'm giving you a big smoo. And we may have lost Pam Bondi, but Bondi. Bondi is the beach.

Yeah. Close enough. She looks like such a little beach. on, you know? I'm just thinking Pam Bondi Beach. We may have lost her, but hey. What, did she get lost in the mall? No, but, well, she got fired. She got separated from her mama.

She got separated from her papa. I once played hide and seek and JCPenny with my mom, but she didn't know what you're playing. Anyway, just to put a bow on that, we may have lost her, but the market's still high, so stop complaining. Was she the one who said, who cares? The Dow is at over 50,000 right now. And you care about us having sexual relations with children?

Yeah. How dare you? Ask the kids. They don't care or something. I don't know. It's going to be a heck of a week, by the way, in the markets. Tomorrow's a big day. Dude, Google or Google's today, but meta, Apple, Microsoft.

Everybody's reporting. It's crazy. They're doing okay. I mean, yeah, I hope so, too, for the sake of the market. For the sake of everything. For the sake of everyone's 401Ks. Because a lot of crap is, a lot of defecation is hitting the, proverbial oscillation.

So everyone, say a prayer for Apple, Google. Yeah, for fame. Meta. Okay? They still call it Fang, even though it's meta now.

Yeah. Or even though it's... Should be Meng. My favorite was F. Slur, man. F. Slurman? Yeah. Facebook,

Amazon, Netflix, meta. Or, whoops. Microsoft Apple or Facebook

it was like Facebook Apple Google Oh I get it Yeah Facebook Apple Google Microsoft Amazon Google

Netflix Yeah He got there Christ almighty Good God man All right so we got this guy Right He's a

Picture this everyone picture this. Picture this with a code app. Dude, blue sky is dangerous. Stay off blue sky. They're radicalizing the centrist libs and it is... I'm so glad I'm not on. I don't like their whole like blue sky dot blank dot...

I tried it for a minute and I was like, yeah, maybe this is nicer than Twitter. And then you're like, they're bizarre. It's the craziest just whirlpool of radical libs just screaming about Graham Platner and Hassan Piper. It's just like, what is going on? It's like Batman and Joker. Joker says, you complete me. And that would be Twitter to Blue Sky's Batman.

You need the two things budding heads. Yeah. It's like before truth, there was another, it was called like, rabble or like. Rumble? No. No, it wasn't Rumble. But it was basically like,

I feel like it was maybe after January, it was one of those after January 6th or maybe it was before. But they were like, this is the right wing blue sky basically. and you go on and it's just like N-word, inward, inward Oh yeah, yeah. God, what was that called? Right-wing social media platforms.

There was true social, rumble, gab. Was it a gab? I don't remember. I think it was gab or getter. Anyway. It was years ago. It was years ago. But so this guy, he's a 31-year-old teacher

from right here in the South Bay, Torrance. Torrance. Yeah. A self-described half-black, half-white guy. We wouldn't describe him like that. I would. That's self-described. I would.

Actually, I would. I'll identify you however you want. If that's what his thing is, then that's his thing. Who might it, Judge? We're not. Yeah. So he, um, this guy's a nerd, frankly.

Caltech. Caltech. Do you see the video of him describing his wheelchair's emergency break invention? No. It's PVC piping. He's like, well, this is. the mechanism to keep the wheelchair in place. Is it the one where Ushah Vance

is in it? Yes. Yeah, okay. Then I have. Which is wild. I don't think we can play it, right? Because it's like copyrighted from TV because YouTube is a fuck. Yeah, his name is Cole Allen, by the way. No relation to Tim Allen. No relation to Woody Allen. All right, so here is. ABC News. ABC 7. Kick our ass with copyright. Let's see. Let's see. The college student, Cole Allen, developed a prototype for a

wheelchair emergency break. The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels but don't actually lock the chair to the ground. The idea with this is to prevent it from moving at all. Recent aging into the future conference held by St. Barnabas Senior Services and the Eisner Foundation offered a test record products that have the potential to enrich the lives which is wild. 14 different tech startups.

Was it definitely Ushivance? I mean, I'm pretty sure, isn't that what she? more pointing out on Twitter. The whole thing feels very... Matrix-y? No. Glitching the Matrix? The Nick Mullen stand-up bit.

The only thing that's left. The clues. Oh, yeah. This one... These fucking people. I'm trying not to... Don't tell me. Oh, someone says close, but not her.

Okay. Yeah, not all Indian women look alike. Thank you. Thank you for that. Wrong, that's not her. Great. I'm glad. Yeah, me too.

Honestly, this whole thing. we'll get into another conspiracy theory. It's too much. Yeah, because, well, should we just touch on it right now, I guess? No, no, no, we'll get to it. But it's just a strange thing where I find it crazy how many people just don't believe what's going on, which I don't blame them. I just think we've entered this thing where no one can even agree on reality anymore. I myself, even with every video I'm seeing, I'm going, but I don't even know.

Can I trust the video anymore? Is stuff, is seeing it with my own eyes? Is that a valid data point? Billionaire trader Paul Tudor Jones. There's a great interview that I'm halfway through. I was watching. He's got the most charming southern accent. He's truly like Foghorn Leghorn.

But he said, you know, I think that when we get to, we're going to have to get to a point where we're going to have to disclose AI. So it'll be illegal if you post an AI video without. You think? Yeah, and I, yeah, it's a... I can't tell you how much of a boomer I feel like. Literally last night, I was just watching, I'm just scrolling, and there's...

I come... You know, when you scroll so much, you don't see the whole... Very good. You don't see the whole thing, but you just kind of stop at the video, so I... And it's a... It's a cat protecting her kittens from a snake, and it looks like it's out in the wild,

and I'm watching this, I'm going, this is incredible. I'm like... If it's incredible, it's likely a lot. the snake gets one of the kittens and I'm like, this is so fucking sad. And I'm looking at it. I'm like, they look like ordinary house cats. And I was like,

how did these cats find themselves out in the wild? And it's a long video. And I was like, oh yeah, I can't get bogged down. Also, where's the camera man? I can't get bogged down. And I hit escape and I scroll a little down. It's like, this is an AI, you know, the little community nuts. And I'm like, holy shit, I'm a boomer. I just watched a,

I just watched a cat versus snake. I'm, um, I'm cooked. Speaking of boomers and being cooked in AI, someone did a screen recording where they searched the guy, the shooter on Facebook, Cole Allen, something. And there's just, it's almost an infinite scroll of AI generated imagery of him associated with almost every different major sports team. Oh, the Facebook one, yeah. Yeah. He's with Texas A&M.

And then he's with Auburn and Alabama and this and this and this. it's just it's like what's the point so that the rival school fans can be like look at this look at this who's a fucking fan but that's what Facebook's for you know what I mean keep that stuff over there it's for confused boomers to be like

huh and I heard he liked Auburn yeah geez roll time but this guy actually Cole Allen I am immediately reminded of the the guy on TikTok who goes

hey everybody i'm going to i'm going to ride my model t remember that guy yeah he he looks the guy who's like trapped in the 1930s yeah i listened to the radio he had a bit of that going on i'm going to assassinate the president he rolls up in his model t he's got a musket uh so this motherfucker um he took a train got a hand got a huge shout-offs to him for taking the train don't know why i did that From California. To D.C. Hey, everybody, I'm going to take the train to Washington, D.C. How long does that take?

It's got to be days. Ten days, I'm assuming. Just days with guns on you. Yeah, a long time to think about it. And then he checked into the Washington Hilton, which, as it turns out, is the same hotel outside of which Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. John Hinkley. Yeah. Who's out of prison now, which is crazy.

Which I think they should have released him a long time ago. Like we all haven't tried to impress a, impress a woman and gone a little too far? Yeah, who do you think Cole Allen was trying to impress? Some, I don't know. Oh, fucking, what's her name? Will Stancel? No, are you saying he's gay? No, these are the, they have his, like, they have his, like blue sky log.

I think that's the account he most engaged with. It's just like, his d'clock. Orville Stancel can't get you break. Will Stantzell's just like, you know, the massive, like, lib. I was going to say, who's the guy who sings, I want to get away? His daughter, who played Catwoman? His balls. Lenny Kravitz.

You're trying to impress Zoe Kravitz. I like how your next point of reference was that his crotch burst out of it. By the way, folks, if you haven't seen the video of Lenny Kravitz. He's got a real hanger coming out. Oh, man. So he's like, he's wearing leather pants and he crouched down in the middle of concert. His penis involves quite literally explode out of the pants. Do you know he keeps that thing on?

And they're shaved too, so they just, anyway. Wait, you think he was trying to impress Zoe Kravitz? I'm just making a joke because Hinkley was trying to impress, what's her name? What's her name, Josie? Hopefully, maybe that's the thing. Maybe this was all a reaction to, didn't she just get engaged to Harry Stiles? Yeah, and it pissed off that other lady.

What was her name? Yeah, here we go. Watch, watch. Watch this. We got to see this. We can't show it. It's on YouTube. All right, wait, wait, scroll forward.

It's going to be up there with the peak. Yeah, here it comes, here it comes. All right. So for the audio, yeah, just play it right there. Play it right before the peak. That's got to be it, right? Yeah. Here it comes. Here it comes. Yeah. Come on, dude.

Oh, yeah. American woman. Oh, what? Yeah. Oh, they covered it up. And he's keeping his arms. Oh, man. Or his legs closed. Hey, guys. We've got to take a quick break to talk about rocket money. You know, personally, man, oh, man.

I got too many subscriptions, gang. and sometimes you forget that you even have them, right? It's impossible to keep track of. You forget and I don't know which credit cards I got going to what. So sometimes I'm just getting milked like a dang dairy cow from these companies. Month after month. Yeah, that stuff adds up. That's where Rocket Money comes in, man.

He sent an email to his family describing how he was able to check in the day before with virtually no problems. Actually, no problems because he had a gun. Here, yeah, pull up what you just had pulled up. This is the official press release from the Department of Justice. There's a photo with a shotgun.

and let's scroll down which is so crazy we're going to get into his little manifesto thing but then he had this pistol on him and then he had one two three

four knives Boboo John Wick yeah what were you gonna do you were gonna have no opportunity to use the knives

well I brought these four knives because I was going to plan on throwing them at people and like what truly what was he planning um yeah he sent an email

to members of his family and a former employer explaining the actions he was about to take, the email, a copy of which law enforcement has obtained, stated, quote, I wish I could have said to anything earlier, but doing so would have made none of this possible. My sincerest apologies for all the trouble I've caused, uh, Cole. And then he signed his email, Cole, Cold Force, Friendly, Federal Assassin Allen, two nicknames. I think Cold Force was his gamer tag. Must have been. That's Cold Force to you, my man. Cold force. Friendly Federal Assassin.

Dude. So, uh, he took off down 10 flights of stairs, armed with the shotgun and handgun. And then he, he blasted through the, the, uh, he like anime ran through the damn lobby. Did you see the video of him? Yeah, it's just like, yeah. Oh, you didn't call Allen video. It's got to be on there. He runs like...

How do I say this? He runs like an anime guy. Like the weird kid from your school. Yeah, yeah. Oh, come on. By the way, this video was taken on a literal potato. Honestly. This is posted by Donald Trump on True Social.

They were... The secrets... Here he goes. I swear to go! Yeah. Yeah. Dude. You know what's so...

Weird about it, though. It's like, why not play it a little cool? No, like, rewind it. No one's giving a shit. Well, because he's got a full-blown shotgun on him. He's probably why. Fucking put a trench coat on. These guys don't give a shit.

Here, you're going to want to cut the audio here because in case we get, but, yeah, this. There's so many video accounts we're going to play somewhere. People are going like, God damn, there's no. Oh, I think he shot this first guy in the chest. Boom. No, I don't think so. No?

It looked like he did. Because one of them did get hit in the bulletproof vest. I think they think it's Secret Service, shot another person. This is unbelievable. Yeah. Well, because they were in the middle of breaking down the metal detectors. And I don't know why. See, they got the case open for the metal detector.

Yeah. But anywho. Yeah, he was charged on Monday with three counts attempting to assassinate the president. That's an obvious one. Interstate transportation of weapons Well, we don't know what he was going to do. Interstate transportation of, well, the manifesto kind of takes away any wonder.

Interstate transportation of weapons and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime. He apparently didn't enter a plea, but this guy's going to prison for a long time. Damn, dude, imagine knowing you were on a train with this guy? He just had a bunch of shotgun, guns, knives. Imagine being one of his students. They played a clip of a woman.

on the radio yesterday who was whose kid was tutored by him. So Mr. Allen is not coming to class today. Why? What did he do? Well, the kid knows, but he wants to hear the adult try to lie. What did he do? Adults like, why did they phrase the question that way instead of where is he? It's what did he do? Go ahead. What did he do? It's unclear yet, but but he has. has been charged with some, some crimes. What kind of crimes? By who? In what jurisdiction?

Yeah, so this guy's, he's not going to be, he's not going to be tutoring anybody, maybe some fellow inmates. But yeah, he, he ran through them. He got, I think he got one shot off. It hit, nobody got killed. And then the Secret Service shot, there were a couple slugs taken out of, I saw. saw that they like cut out the drywall for ballistics whatever um and oh so a big thing that everybody's talking about and asking is like how the hell was he able to get this far like into

the hotel and whatnot and um i was reading all about it this hilton is huge this washington dc hilton is like the size of a city block according to some some former CIA guy uh and it's just It's all but impossible to really fully completely have the entire thing secure because, you know, they've got the entire hotel. All but impossible. I mean, spend the money. Yeah. Like, they could certainly beef up security at this place. Yeah. They can lock down a city block. They can lock down the Washington, D.C. Hilton. Yeah. I don't buy any of this. I am surprised that his manifesto targeted, says he says he's not. Not targeting anyone except the administration prioritized from highest to lowest. Wait, before we even get to that, can you just click the first... No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. But before we get to the end of it, can you click the first image?

Of the manifesto? This is the most like... Hello, everybody! Millennial ass. Hello, everybody. So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. So I did a thing. Honestly.

Yeah. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. Dude, we're way past that. also we need to stop calling these manifestos. I need like... Yeah, this is like a email. This is a notes app ass. You know, this guy was on a train for days thinking about what he was going to do.

We couldn't have gotten better than this notes app. So I did a thing. He basically apologized. Wow. I apologize to all the people I traveled next to all the workers who handled my luggage and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near. Uh, onto why I did any of this. I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me, and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

And then in parentheses, well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity. I've had to do something about it. This is the opportunity you had? Uh, and then, yeah, the next part of it, uh, he goes over the rules of engagement. he says Secret Service are basically everybody, hotel employees, National Guard, Capitol Police, Hotel Security, Secret Service. They are only targets if necessary. Guests are not targets at all. And for some reason, he excludes cash... So funny. Which is super weird.

He's just useless. He knows it. I guess. Jay Edgar Boozer? Jay Edgar Boozer. That's very funny. And anyway, so yeah, let's just... Let's go on to some of the funny moments, shall we? Because that's part of his manifesto. And so RFK's security detail sprung into action, and they left Cheryl Hines behind.

And I mean, if you don't put, I'm assuming this video has the, it's got to have the, bum, bum, bump, yeah. That's her just totally. And you know what ends with the directed by Robert Wheatie? Yeah. Cheryl, Cheryl, catch up. And then 60 Minutes did an interview with Donald Trump right after. And the interviewer, God bless her, we obviously can't play it because they will copyright us.

Fuck you 60 minutes. But the interviewer asks Trump, the manifesto says that, you know, just what I said about pedophile, traitor, rapist stuff. And Donald Trump goes, what do you? I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile. What is that? What he's that? I'm not a pedophile.

He also was like, I knew you were going to ask a question like that. You know, it's really disgusting. It's really, what does he say? It's a, it's a shame. It's a, it's, uh... Yeah, I think he says you should be ashamed to yourself. Yeah, you should be ashamed to yourself.

I knew you were going to ask a disgusting question like that. That's what the guy said. How do you, she just said, how do you respond to that? I do like that anytime someone asks them anything remotely, uh... Relevant? Yeah, he's just like, you're disgusting. he should be ashamed to yourself. We should lock you up in jail.

God, meanwhile, for the way you treat me. He says the most disgusting shit. It's just a big fucking joke. I fucking hate this guy. And then there was this, apparently... This one's my favorite. This guy's a king.

So I guess he's some like high up CIA agent. Not to be confused with the CIA. It's a big, it's a big talent agency. Man continues to eat salad. Because he knew he wasn't in trouble. He's just like, they got it under control. Apparently they talked to him. Look, they have the little quote.

There was no freaking way I was getting in my getting in my new tucks on the dirty Hilton floor. Oh, that's funny. He's like, nah, dude, I'm good. Speaking of that, they're now, I mean, I don't understand the obsession with the ballroom. They're all using this, all the right-wingers are using this as a talking point to emphasize that they need the ballroom so that they can have the security

just completely wrapped up from, which I get, I guess, but within the it was like within the hour this is why we need the ballroom the marching orders had gone out weird ones too where like what is the guy's name the libertarian

Gary Johnson no the senator Rand Paul oh sure even he was like this is why we need the ballroom I was like my guy your whole thing is like cutting government spending and wasting spending and you're like we need to

we need to rush through the they're asking for $400 million yeah the hell are you talking about? I really... For a ballroom? Yeah, I don't get it, man. And Lindsey Graham is going out on TV going...

We need the balls. Ballroom. Talking about how he's like, I want to put this to an immediate vote. Even if it doesn't pass, I want... I want the senators on record. I think the American people are going to want to know who wouldn't vote for it to save the president. It's like, dude, you think...

He was saying, I think 90% of Americans would be supportive of this bill passing $400 million for this ballroom. I was going, are you out of your mind? Guess I'm paying $6 a gallon. You think anyone is going to be like, yeah, we need to spend $400 million on a ballroom right now. If I'm one of those security guys, I'm like... Are you out of your mind? I'm like Val Kilmer in the intro sequence to the movie Heat.

You're just shooting a bunch of people? No, no. The intro sequence of the movie Heat, Val Kilmer goes to a construction supply guy and he purchases some plosives. What? He buys explosives. Wait, sorry.

Okay, so if you're a security guy? No, no, no. If I'm a construction guy on the, what do you call it? Yeah, we definitely can't show this. He goes, dude, this is too deep.

He buys explosives for their first little heist. Okay. Yeah. And what's to stop a security, or a construction guy from planting some underneath the

new ball room. You know? It's just a question. Hey guys, we got to take a quick break to thank the sponsor Quo. Whoa, baby. QUO. We're looking at you business owners who are looking for some solutions. When you're

But anyway, Dana White apparently loved it. Fuck that guy. He's just, man, God, I'm so sick of it. Can we play that clip? I find this generally, genuinely, genuinely disturbing, that these people are just like,

yeah, it's fucking rocked, dude. Yeah. Dana White's reaction to the chaos at the White House correspondent center. It was fucking awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. It was pretty crazy. Okay.

Tables getting flipped over guys running in with guns. And they were screaming, get down. I didn't get down. It was fucking awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. And it was a pretty crazy, unique experience. So you were on the aisle? What exactly did you see? We were sitting right in front of the table.

That's really the element part. It was just like, what the... Cool, man. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. He's like if Shane Gillis and Joe Rogan mixed up their cum together and... And did what with it? Had a baby.

Where'd they put the cum? I don't know. Some kind of chimero woman. You know, like a devil, a demon. Who all looks pretty happy? You got this up here. They all looked pretty happy. Everyone's been posting this picture because, like, does, you know, does this look like a group of people?

Well, because it looks like he's probably cracking a joke. Look at Trump's face. He's got that smug. Hey, if I could do it. They couldn't kill me. And all these people just survived a would-be assassination. You don't think that's odd. I know.

I'm not saying this points to any, like, evidence of, like, it was, it didn't happen. It's all a hoax. I'm just saying, this is bizarre. Yeah. I mean, the whole thing is bizarre. It's all a fucking, it reminds me of the movie. I thought at first that the guy built his own weapons, a la. The guy who got Shenz-O-Abe?

No, no, no. Well, John Malkovich in all the president's men, I think, where he builds a composite weapon and his plan is to assassinate the president at like, I think a correspondent center or something like that. And Clint Eastwood has to stop him. Hey, drop that composite gun. Gay guy. He calls him a gay guy? Gay guy. No, but Eastwood is upset because he couldn't save JFK.

And now he's old. And he's like, I've got to stop John Malcovic and John Malcovic just like, I'm going to shoot the president. That's terrible. But it's an awesome movie. And he's got his little composite gun. Shenzhouerobic style. And the way that he sneaks in the bullets. Is he just run through anime style?

No, he's got a lucky rabbit's foot. And he puts the bullet. It's like the end of the key chain. And so he just drops his keys in the thing to go through the metal detector. So they don't... Very smart. And yeah, he's wearing like a prosthetic. It's a freaking awesome movie.

Who plays the president? Kevin Costner. I don't know. Google, let's search it. I think it's all the president's men. Oh, wait, no, that's not it. That's 1976. Clint Eastwood Assassin movie.

It is called In the Line of Fire. In the Line of Fire. Who's the president? Dylan McDermott. Dylan McDermott. John Mulroney? Who is the president in that movie? Wait, Dylan McDermott and

Dylan McDermott? And Dermott Milroni? Dermott. Dermott Mironi? Dylan McDermott. Are they both in that movie? I got to be honest, man. I don't know who played the president of this fucking thing. But it's fantastic. Great. Be sure to check that out.

Yeah, we should check that off. Lawrence Lowe's star turn as FBI technician. Ashley St. Clair posted another video. It's too long. It's too long. It's a minute long. but she's talking about... I think this is a clip of it, yeah.

Oh, yeah. All of MAGA is paid and they coordinate their messaging in lockstep via group chat. And what do you know? Their first thought is Trump needs his ballroom. So last week, I told you guys that all of MAGA is paid and they coordinate their messaging in lockstep via group chats. And what do you know? All of these people came to the conclusion that after they saw what happened at the White

House correspondence dinner, their first thought was all. independently Trump needs his ballroom the statistical likelihood of this happening in a vacuum if we are to stipulate that these people are not coordinated the statistical likelihood

of this happening that they all came to the same conclusion what is it not probable run the numbers on that for me Ashley one of the main group chats in which they coordinate this messaging is literally called fight fight fight after the attempt on Trump's life in Butler.

What if she's still in those group chats? The official Trump or room, members of the administration. How do we get in there? Yeah, no kidding. And all your favorite mega influence. All right, yeah, we can cut it. I would post photos of my balls in there for sure. Every day.

But like hidden, like an eye spy. And they don't even know. Fight, fight, fight, fight. Yeah, fight, fight, fight. Look, I got this tattoo on my shin or behind my knee. Fight, fight, fight. I hate that everybody now does this, the TikTok. I think it's called the lobster claw.

If da, da, da, da, da, and then they go like this. I also hate the POV videos where people are like exaggerating the use of their hands. It looks good on camera, but if you were to see someone, they would constantly just be going like this in front of their own face. I've never seen this. Fuck you, dude. You got to get out there more. That brings us to the conspiracies. Yes, the conspiracies.

There's basically just one. at this point. The main one. Well, the conspiracy is that this... Someone's a time traveler. Well, that's one of them, but the other conspiracy... I think a lot of people just don't believe that this wasn't a staged thing. Where do you stand before we... I don't believe it was staged at all.

I think that it was a lone... I think he was a real guy, obviously. The fact that he's not dead, we're going to get to hear it straight from his mouth. I mean, his own family members were like, yeah, he was saying increasingly, like, radical things. Well, I don't know. What's his name wasn't dead? Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't dead. Suron, Seron wasn't dead.

Doesn't mean... He could have been a Patsy, sure, but I mean the train ride from L.A. to Washington? One last train ride for this crazy lib? So... You got to give him something. I mean, look, but look, so just... I don't know what I believe, honestly. I tend to think maybe this is probably a legitimate thing.

It's very strange. Because, yeah, what are the... That Trump would try to make this... his like weird Reichstag fire moment so he can get his ballroom. Like I just, I don't know. Or it's like a thing

to keep people's minds off of Epstein files, which like, I don't know, I guess I wouldn't put, yeah, I wouldn't put anything past them. But there is weird stuff. I don't think he's ever

appeared at a White House correspondence dinner all four years of his first term. And I think this is the first time in all the years he's been present that he's ever, he's ever been there. obviously the whole thing is very strange, that manifesto, the lack of security.

I do think I put it in there. Do we have that one of, there's the journalists, did I not put it in there? They're talking about like, they're on a hot mic going. The one that says no security? Yeah, yeah. Can you play that? Like, even people were commenting before,

Like, what the hell is going on? Fox 5. Riveting stuff. We're right to have to turn it up or something. All right. Well, I listen to this. Can you turn up the volume? Yeah.

Let's just read what it, what it supposedly says. What is it so bizarre? What is the thing? What does the tweet say? They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore.

They're not even Secret Service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door. Which, speaking of, speaking of, as soon as it happened, right-wing Twitter loves, loves it when there's any FBI or Secret Service or CIA

when it's a woman. There's a photo of this one. She's like short. and she's got her in there just like, well, well, well. There's a lady there. It's all her fault. I think what they're... The guy got past her single-handedly because she's a woman. I think they're alluding to the fact that it was like hotel workers just ushering people

rather than secret security or any kind of security apparatus for the president. Yeah. But then there's all these other weird, strange moments. One that I think is that people are pointing to that is probably coincidental and more of a turn of phrase. I'm sure you saw the like Caroline Levitt thing where she's asking if she's excited for tonight.

Oh yeah. I think it's going to be really, you know, people are really going to be going to be going to be shots fired tonight. It's like, okay, that's a turn of phrase. I know, I know. But then apparently there's the woman who's talking to it's either Fox News or MS, whatever, MS now. Multiple sclerosis now.

She gets cut off and she's talking about how I think she's with Caroline Levitt's husband and it's before everything goes down and he starts telling, she starts telling the news organization that like yeah, he was telling me that I need to be careful because blah blah and then it just cuts off.

Interesting. And so I don't know. There are all these strange moments. I don't think it amounts to any like smoking gun that this is a that this is some kind of planned I think that so the biggest smoking gun is this mystery tweet that people were, I mean,

it's now been, let's see what the numbers are on this thing. It has now been retweeted 17,000 times. It's been viewed 56 million times. It's from an account called Henry Martinez, and it is the only tweet that it has. It just says Cole Allen, and it was tweeted on December 21st, 2023. And everybody's going nuts, because apparently...

So Cole Allen, in turn, at NASA in 2014. And in 2014, NASA published a paper and Henry Martinez was an author. He's a chief engineer at Lockheed Martin. And then an ex-user named Henry Martinez made in 23, made only a single post on December 21st, 2023. They said Cole Allen. And the post only said Cole Allen. Ladies and gentlemen, if indeed there is a time traveler or something like that, You're going to say more than just a name. You're going to say Cole Allen will try to kill the president on such and such date. This is a classic trick.

I would say this is very strange. And the other thing to point out is that the banner image, if you click that banner image up there, people point out that it, well, I guess that's, if you extrapolate the full image, it looks like the fight, fight, fight moment from the Butler PA. Which is a stretch. Because it like, yeah, it kind of fits. weird distorted image. It is strange. Sure. I'll give it to you. But someone

pointed out that someone like that there's probably just like weird logical, who knows why this happened, but someone was like, my mom used to do this when she first got Facebook. She thought she was searching for people, but was actually just posting their name. Could totally be what happened here. And who knows? I don't know how credible it is.

Some people have pointed out like, oh, you know, a chief engineer at Lockheed Martin is stupid enough to do something like this. Well, there's also, maybe. There's also people sometimes do this where they start an anonymous account. They keep it private. And they tweet either dates.

It can just be like, they just tweet the date for every single day for the next five years kind of thing. And then if something happens on, say, you know, January 16th, 2028, they go back and they delete every other tweet except for that one that says January 16th, 2028. You get what I'm saying? And then they make the account public. And someone was saying that it's very possible that they were doing that with random names. And then they even changed their... RBC Training Ground has discovered potential in over 20,000 Canadian athletes and counting.

Your story could be next. If you've got the drive, they'll help you find your path to the Olympics. Let's see what you've got. Sign up for free at rbc trainingground.ca. They're at their handle to Henry Martinez. I mean, to what end? I don't know. But do I think that there's some kind of...

I just think there's always an explanation. Do I think this is very weird? Yes. Do I think this guy's a time traveler? No. Yeah. It's just very strange. It's the, you know...

The only thing left is the clues. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, did you, just checking in, did you guys tweet the... You did the Henry Martinez Cole Allen tweet? Yeah, yeah, I got it, sir. Okay. And the weird, the weird art with the other assassination attempt that hasn't happened yet? In a year? Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Okay, great. All right, you guys went and go Chipotle? And you wrote up the script for Caroline Leavitt and everything and she's going to say the shots fired thing. Sir, way ahead of you.

Jimmy Kimmel also made it. They had like a their own little correspondence dinner and he made some fucking joke that I think was kind of funny. He called Melania Trump an expectant widow. He said she's got the glow of an expectant widow, which is a joke about him being fucking old as hell. But because of this, they're now just going, Jimmy Kimmel is evil and needs to be burned alive. He was doing that at the, which I think they're calling the All-American White House Correspondents, that the president doesn't come to because what this used to be

were fun things where they would have a roast. Yeah, they would have a president, a comedian come and, you know, roast the entire media industry and, and he would get roasted as well by a comedian. There's a very funny moment of, was it Jimmy? It might have been Jimmy Kimmel. I remember finding it very funny when he looked at Obama. It was probably like 20, I don't know, 12 or something. And he's like, the joke was just.

Hey, Barack, remember when you rallied the whole country around hope and change and got everyone so excited for that? And Barack's like, and he goes, that was hilarious. That's very funny. All right. Well, so that's what happened. And we'll see, man. By next week, nobody's going to care. Honestly, I don't think anyone cares now.

Yeah, we really fucked up making this our episode this week, huh? I think it's... If you look at the front page of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, I bet they're all talking about... At least on Tuesday today. Tuesday. At least on Tuesday.

Sorry, I bet they're talking about... Open AI. Is it Oman leaving OPEC? Is that who... No, the UAE. The UAE leaving OPEC. Yeah, I bet Open AI is on there. And I bet Iran...

Yeah, it's the other big thing. Just go to the New York Times. More than 120 foreign leaders have addressed Congress. Not many have been kings. Why do we have fucking King Charles there? Look how far you have to scroll before you get to assassination stuff. I don't even see it. You don't, yeah.

It's not even on here. Because he stinks. It's crazy. Well, we fucked up. Yeah, Musk. There you go. I can't wait for more of the Musk. So let's switch gears, man.

Let's talk about the markets, right? So first off, we finally had someone get taken down for insider trading, but it ain't who you think. It's a soldier who is part of the Maduro raid. He made over $400,000 on Polly Market, and they arrested his ass to obviously they're making an example out of just the lowliest person they can. To save face and be like, look, we're doing something. Fuck you. do something about the $100 million oil futures shorts that go off before any significant news 15 minutes before. This is just so crazy.

This is where we're at. Ganon Ken Van Dyke. I'm Ganen Ken Van Dyke. A soldier station at 4 Bragg was involved in the planning of the raid as of early December 2025 and placed 13 bets by the end of the month on the Venezuelan leader being out by January 31st. Good for him. Good for him. Gannon, Ken Van Dyke, what did you say? That's his, Gannon Ken Van Dyke.

Let's name our kid Gannon. Gannon might be some kind of... Gannon Ken. Some kind of... Soldier name? Yeah, I don't know. Well, the other thing, there was another famous... Oops.

Sorry, Doug. Oh, man, you know, you lay right behind me and I'm going to roll over your tail. It's going to happen, but I'm sorry. No, I guess his name is literally Gannon. That's insane. Steve Gannon. So there was a guy in Paris who there was a... Yeah, I love this guy.

The bet was Paris won't get, you know, up to... Above a certain degree. Above a certain temperature by X date. So he was like, I know where they measure the temperature. Yeah, they were measuring on a specific thermostat or thermometer at the airport. And he was like, well, let me just get my ass out there with a blow dryer. And he did it. He did it twice, and then they busted his ass.

Which, I like that more than the soldier. The soldier, that's not, there's no ingenuity in that. There's no... Soldier is bleak. I mean... But the Paris guy is Fleak. On Fleak, that is. I don't know. $400,000.

I can buy you a lot of Dodge Chargers. Oh, yeah, brother. Yeah, a lot of Dodge Chargers are like, jeez. I don't know. What kind of car would Gannon drive? Yeah, a charger or a challenger. I mean, if you get that kind of money, you're not going, well, maybe he'll get himself a G-Chry. A charger with a tow hitch and a freaking jet ski or fishing boat.

Gannon's got a fishing boat. You know what dealership loves to see a guy in his army fatigues walking in? Yeah. Here we go. He just cashed his check. Yeah. Okay, so the other big thing going on, um, Elon Musk's lawsuit against, again, against scam Altman. Excuse me, Sam Altman and Open AI is headed to trial.

It starts today. And they have both been instructed by the judge to stop tweeting. The judge was like, okay, you got you guys. Seriously, you got to stop tweeting at each other because it's affecting the market. Because Elon was recently, I mean, it's obvious. He, he, like, promoted the New York Mag profile. that Ronan Farrow, the New Yorker, the New Yorker magazine profile that Ronan Farrow did. And OpenAI tweeted, we can't wait to make our case in court where both the truth and the law are on our side.

This lawsuit has always been a baseless and jealous bid to derail a competitor. We'll also finally have the chance to question Mr. Musk under oath before a jury of Californians about his attempt to undermine our work to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Man, to sit on that jury. Oh. Holy shit, man. We're going to get some choice content out of this.

Like it would suck. You got to choose between a guy that sucks and a guy that fucking sucks. Oh, it's the let them fight. Yeah, let them fight. Oh, God. And, yeah. And open AIs in the, they're just really getting raked over the coals.

There was a big Wall Street Journal article that came out just last night about how their CFO is worried that they're not going to be able to fulfill. They're severely missing revenue targets. Yeah. Weekly active user targets, I believe. They have not achieved their own arbitrary goal of one million weekly active users. And they are actively failing at reaching their revenue goals.

And this is all while they have massive spend commitments. And so everyone's going, I don't know, how the hell are you going to make this happen? And people are going, oh, don't worry about it. thing is that it's just pretty easy to switch between different models. So, you know, some people went to, some people went to Anthropic over the last couple months, but they'll be back and it's like, I don't think it works like that. Open AI, Big Bub. I don't think it works like that. Although they did just open up their partnership. Their partnership with Microsoft changed. And now chat GPT is available across all cloud platforms. And there's rumors also that

they're working with Qualcomm on an AI first. smartphone processor do out by 2028 so who hell knows. That'll save you. Also, you know, oh, you want to make a call? Honestly, that's a good thing or however the fuck it talks. Honestly, that's a clutch move to call your mom at this moment. Yeah. I'll make a call whenever you want me to, just say the word and go ahead.

Okay, make the call. Okay. So you want me to make a call, right? Just let me know and I'll make the call. Yeah, call mom. Okay. It sounds like you want me to call. so I'll just go ahead and do it right now.

I'll just do it whenever you're ready. Yeah, I'm ready. Okay. I don't like your tone. In fact, I don't have to take this. Well, fuck you. They're also wrapped up in all these other companies as well, and people are worried that this could potentially take down Oracle, for example, who is committed to... Oracle. Things are snooze, man. Fuck that company. Honestly, you cooked with that one.

I cooked. Honestly, you cooked with that one. know if you need anything else. Honestly, Ben, you cooked with that one. And if the audience doesn't connect with it, that's on them, not you. Yeah. That wasn't just a joke. It's an epic burn. I see you're trying to write a manifesto about killing the president.

Honestly, good for you. It's not just a political statement. It's a radical statement of your own... I don't fucking know. Damn, dude. You're so close. Yeah, the market's been very interesting these last couple days because everything dropped today on this open AI headline because it kind of is scaring

everybody into thinking, oh my God, they're pulling back all the, it's the first pinprick that could pop the AI bubble. We'll see. We'll see. I've been doing a little bit of shopping, just a little bit of shopping. So we'll see about that. I'm very excited that all the dude, all the dude, I'm telling you, I've been seeing a lot more Tesla permables saying I'm done and I'm, it's been a fun ride, but I'm taking my winnings and I'm putting them elsewhere. The stock has done nothing. The SpaceX IPO? Oh, brother.

Holy shit. So, folks, the SpaceX IPO is imminent, right? and part of every public company I believe every public company has incentives for the CEO to earn their pay package. It could be

revenue targets, it could be user targets, whatever it is, whatever the company specializes in. And we talked about it with Elon Musk and Tesla, for example, theirs was like, oh, he's got to keep the company at a certain market cap. He's got to do a certain they've got to hit Robotaxi benchmarks,

they've got to do all this stuff. And if he achieves all of that, he'll get X number of shares worth however much. And apparently, SpaceX has a similar goal for him, which is he's got to achieve a $7.5 trillion valuation. A million people living on Mars.

And I don't remember what the third one was because it doesn't fucking... I think it's like X number of, you know, A million people living on Mars. By when? Does it have a deadline? I think 20, I don't know, 2035 or something like that. I truly will eat my own dick. I'll eat my own dick too, brother.

If there are a million... We'll do like a lady in the tramp will slurp on either end of our penises. We'll sew both of our penises together. Lady and the tramp them until the entire connected penis is eaten. And then I will

I'll snowball my own dick mixed with Ben's dick and we'll kiss each other. If there are a million people living on Mars by 2035, cut to 2035, there's a million people living on Mars. You're going, oh, fuck. Everyone just keeps sending me this video. And chat GPT is like fully sentient now and is like it's summoned by polymarket because we're famous enough and big enough that it's holding you to account for things that you've said.

Yeah. And they just keep... Honestly, it was pretty bold of you to make that. claim back then. But unfortunately, if you want any credibility, you're going to have to sell Ben Con's dick to your dick and Lady in the Tramp that thing? Yeah. Or we're going to kill you. It did make me think, though, what if

what if there were even 100,000 people living on Mars? Would we earthlings, earth-going people, care about them? You got to read, you got to read the Isaac Asimov Robot series It's so sick So there's

Like how far away is Too far away for us to be like Like say there were 100,000 people starving to death on Mars or something Or there was chaos in the civil war and stuff And they're doing slavery Would we just be like Or would we hop on rockets

And go all the way out there To try to fucking stop it It depends what the Welcome aboard beer rail, please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Flip.

Or that and enjoy. Via rail, love the way. It depends what the circumstances are. If the people on Mars is... Domestic violence. No, no, no. If the people on Mars go there because they're all like a bunch of... If Elon does it with some kind of lottery, like, you know, oh, enter, and you could be one lucky fan to come to.

And it's just like a bunch of Elon fanboys. And it turns out they're all just like starving up there. I'm like, dude, what do we want me to do down here? If it's, I don't know, if they go some kind of like Australia route and just round up a bunch of poor felons or something, then I'm like, come on, man, don't make it. That's fucked up. Don't make them starve up there. So I think it depends, really.

Or if it's like just a bunch of tech elite freaks. Let them. I'm like, hey, Godspeed, man. Figure it out. There is no way on, well, not on God's Green Earth, but there's no way that there's any people are going to be less than 10,000, less than a thousand are going to live out there. Who the fuck would volunteer to do that?

He, I don't think he can do this. We can't even. get people to survive in the damn freaking desert. I don't think... Don't even have a million people living in Palm Springs. Crying out loud. Are there not a million people in Palm Springs?

No. Probably not. Way fear. I'm going to get... Let's guess. How many... How many... Just Google Palm Springs population.

I'm going to say there's... 60,000. I'm going to say... I have no idea. I have no idea. I know. That's why we're guessing. Oh my God, I almost nailed it.

Nailed it. 45 to 46,000. I said 48. Holy shit, man. Holy shit. Anyway, so I'm seeing, there was a guy who the other day posted a screenshot. He sold all 6,000 shares of Tesla that he's held for 15 years. Damn, that's a nice little payoff.

It's a nice little payoff. And he said, I've had enough. For the last 10 years, he's been making all these promises, most of which haven't come fruition. What is the, what's the, the risk reward just isn't there anymore. The company has now had enough time to mature. It is no longer something where we can give the benefit of the doubt to, like a classic growth stock. The growth story is all but over and it's now shifted to these new impossible benchmarks that the company is very likely not going to hit in part because Elon Musk's attention is now elsewhere. And it's all contingent on him delivering and we now know that he's

just kind of mostly a full of shit guy. What does Tesla out right now? Wow, it fucking bounced, dude. It was, yeah. Damn. I think the market cap is still like one and a half trillion dollars, which is insane. Huge shout out to Intel. Yeah, let's see.

The market cap is 1.18 trillion, so excuse me. Intel hit all-time highs, and it finally beat the high that it had. it from 2000. So if you go to Max there, yeah, look at that. Finally. So if you bought, if you bought Intel in 2000, you finally broke even and even made a little bit of money. That's great. I highly doubt that anybody... I'm happy for them. Highly doubt that anybody had that going for them.

What else was there? Everyone's reporting on earnings this week. Open AI's got there bullshit going. Really can't wait to... Dude, Open AI, it seems like an absolute mess. It seems like a company completely out of ideas. The Starbucks integration. Oh, yeah. Just. Someone timed it, and they showed that it actually takes longer to go into Chat GPT and order something from the Starbucks, like, plug-in.

Then it does to just go into the Starbucks app and order what the hell you wanted. Yeah, I don't understand the utility here. And they already had the Walmart checkout thing is now dead. Remember that? No. They had Chat GPD. Google ChatGPT Walmart. It was like this integration that they had where, yeah, Walmart partners with OpenAI to create AI-Fest shopping. Oh my God. Shopping experiences. But it's already like over. Here, go back to the top and zoom in. I want to see those main partnership will allow customers and members to complete purchases from Walmart directly within ChatGPT.

Oh, thank God. Through AI first shopping, the retail. experience shifts from reactive to proactive as it learns, plans, and predicts, helping customers anticipate their needs before they do. So you're already in chat. I think this was supposed to be... Yeah, you're already chatting to chat. And you go like, oh my God, I think I may be low on... Paper tells.

And they're like, oh... Be jerky. Here, we could just give us your credit card information. Yeah. This was there, I think this was chat GPT. This was like Open AIs first. they're also severely overestimating where people are. I was in New York this past week and it was L.A.X has one of those

breast milk stations. No, I don't know what you call them. Restfeed stations. They're the... People move. Little convenience store where you go in and you grab the thing, but you don't... Interact with anybody? Yeah, and you just like...

And man, like, I realized what was happening. I was like, oh, you just like touch your phone to the thing and it's fun. literally everyone else was just like in the lane being like, what, I just want to get out of here with my water. It's like, my God. It's so easy to do.

It's extremely, yeah. I'm just, I'm saying, like I'm saying they're overestimating where people are, I think. This was them wanting to make it so that you never leave the chat GPT app. Yeah.

They'll eventually, they're envisioning a world where you're just always, it's just always in chat GPT. why would you ever need anything because you can access Amazon, you can order Starbucks, you can do everything, which I kind of get. I get it as a like a 30,000 foot view idea.

But again, yeah, I'm not gonna fucking, I'm addicted to switching between apps. I love switching between apps. It's my favorite thing to do. Also, it just seems so, like they're so irresponsible over there,

just spending hundreds of millions of dollars, whatever the actual amount we don't know, but the TBPN acquisition. It's like, you guys are, you guys are all over the place. Martin Screlly called out that this Wall Street Journal thing is, he said like 100% bullshit. But he's also, I mean, take that with a greener-

The Wall Street Journal thing where they're having trouble meeting their benchmarks? Because apparently one of his close friends works at or is a high-up insider at Open AI. So people were like, yeah, he probably knows better than the Wall Street Journal. And who knows? I don't know. That guy's a freak. I know.

He apparently was, which I have no idea how. If anyone knows the connection, please drop a line. But remember the whole Eric's Wallwell thing happened where Eric's Walwell got, he basically dropped out of the governor's race. And I think he's actually dropping out of Congress as well because of his weird relations with. Yeah. And maybe even like underage women. I don't even, I don't know exactly what was going on there. But Martin Screlli was like leaking video of Eric's Wallwell with.

young women in hotel rooms and stuff. It was like, where the hell does that come from? And then he was going, Ro Khanna, I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you next. And people are like, oh shit, you have something on him? And he was like, no, but I'll find it. They're like, dude, get the hell out of here.

Yeah, he really is a weird little guy. A very weird little guy. I need to speak to someone from the Eric Swallow campaign. I've received a video of him being intimate with a woman who does not appear to be his wife and would like a comment before posting. Why did they send it to you? And he said, I'm somewhat plugged into politics and celebrities as much as I try to avoid them. Okay.

All right. Oh, yeah. And he said, Rokana is next. All right. All right. There you have it, folks. Martin Schreli. I read an interesting note just to wrap it all up this morning about the markets,

which is that, you know, as much as I was saying, the market doesn't care. about Iran anymore. That was on, that was contingent on it all kind of getting resolved. And I put that heavily in quotes. But it's, uh, looking like the longer both sides go without resolving it. The worst, like we've, like some of these experts have been warning, it could come back to be a relevant thing to the market. Um, it doesn't matter until all of a sudden it does. And some people were speculating that the pullback today in the market was actually more due to Iran than this open AI thing. The big thing will be earnings tomorrow for us yesterday for you guys. And that's going to be really, really, really interesting because it's like $10 trillion worth of companies reporting all at the same time, which is really, really stupid.

Like, why are they doing that? I bet they have good news. Man, I'm a little, not going to lie, I'm a little anxious about it. I'm like, whoa, that's going to be a lot to process. There's that and then there's, what was it, SoftBank. I think SoftBank dropped inexplicably like 10%, which was strange because they're a big kind of bellwether and all this stuff. Yeah, 12%.

12%. Yeah, looking at. SoftBank Group. SoftBank Inexplicably? Well it was just kind of like On what headline What the fuck's going on here? Scroll down

I don't think that there was There's no Open A Oh I think it's because they have a big position Yeah SoftBank tumbles Amid rising Open AI worries So that's about

I'm never fucking you or something I'm sucking your dick again. Have you seen that girl who does the thing where she... Do you want to have sex before bed? Bing. Yeah. Boy, you can't whistle, can you? Have you seen that woman who does the...

The face when she's... Say I can whistle. You can whistle. I was wrong. Like thing where you grab the bikini string here and like shake them at the camera. And it's just like... Flicks. And it's like, next woman.

It's just like... Basically the same thing. but just anime cartoon girl just like shaking boobs in his face. And I'm just like, holy shit, brother, you can't do this in public. What time was it? It's like 9 a.m. or something. And he's at the gym just going through Instagram stories of large breasted women shaking. But that's probably just who he follows.

Yeah. So his whole shit is just like, like only fans, content creators, AI, anime girls. Just like, what's up, big guy? We all know that sink fishing has gotten a little away from its roots. Lately we've lost our way. This subreddit was once a place where a person could post a sink and invite discussion. High depth, splash radius, faucet clearance, countertop composition. Oh, man.

And he's pointing out that people are getting too kinky with it. Look at the way he wrote this too. I come before you today not as an enemy of the sink, nor is some porcelain puritan clutching pearls at the thought of unconventional drainage. I joined this community for the idea of sink pissing, the theory, the craft, the forbidden ergonomics, the bold architectural questions. The appreciation of a good basin doing what lesser mindset it could not.

I placed my sausage in a way that the pee goes in a direction. Also, most bathroom sinks are going to be a fucking mess. It's going to splash. Just think of your average bathroom sink. I place my sausage in a way that the pee goes in a direction like the waterbenders that won't cause the entire sink to have pee all over it. Like the waterbenders? The pee whirls itself into the sinkhole.

And yeah, after I'm done, I quickly wash it. The sink, especially where the pee went. And yeah, that's it. Is it okay? As in long-term damage? What am I flying new? Top comment. You're doing great.

He's worried about damaging the plumbing? Brother, you're getting piss everywhere. There's no way you're not. Go back.
