I mean, if that didn't, like, give a hint as to who might be here with me today, I don't know what it is. Hey, Thomas, what's happening? Hi, how are you? Yeah. You like that? You like my choice of music? Yeah, man, thunder's always timely. So what's going on today, man? What's new? I had nothing. On Sunday, generally, I just chill, and I work on long-form stuff, unless I've got, you know, some kind of, recording obligation but for the most part people are chill on Sunday as well you know and that's fine i Thursday's kind of like a low-key day for me too other than other than my own stream but uh

i uh like my dryer like blew up yesterday so i had to do my laundry at the laundromat and i forgot a weird that is i got fixed today like boy howdy but i've got a weird laundry mat sorry i went a laundromat for like years you know because um when i was a real nice place um course in streeterville and then the south loop around ninth and wabash but like from the time i moved out you know when i was 19 and from pennsy college and stuff is um is is Is Thomas's audio breaking up for everyone else? This is a test. Is that any better?

I'm checking through my speaker audio right now. He said, yeah, somebody's saying it's breaking up. Let's see. Did you switch microphones or something? Yeah. How does that sound now? That sounds better. Cool.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Wasn't there another one in the cadre who, like, had a dryer a problem yesterday? I I don't think so, but I thought Dahl said that he had a problem, or maybe

I was just reading, maybe I was just reading that. No, I didn't, I didn't keep up with the chat yesterday. I was running around doing a bunch of stuff, but no, I, it made me thankful. I don't think about for a lot of reasons. I live in a proper house. No, but yeah, laundromats are weird as fuck, man. Yeah, that was something, when I was renting, it was always, like, I don't care if I have to pay extra.

I need a washer and dryer in the house. I can't go to frigging out in a laundromat because depending on where you can afford to live at the time, I mean, it's just like hanging out like a dive bar or the worst ghetto bar or something like that. Yeah, and it's not getting past the time by getting a PBR or something. I mean, I guess you could, but that'd make you just as grimy as the laundromat. If you're, like, sitting there, like, chugging beers, like, while your laundry spins around. But, uh... That is pretty much when you're young blood and you have to go to the laundromat.

That is the time to have beers and maybe other things as well, too, so... No, when I was, when I was, like, 20 years old, you know, you could... Like, sometimes there'd be chicks there you could talk to and stuff. And it was like, it wasn't fun, but it was a lot less kind of sucky. Then like when you're like 50 and you're like at the laundromate, you're just like, this kind of sucks. And you can't get away with, you can't get away with like, you know, youngster stuff. Like, nor should you really want to because that would just make you a weird old person. But yeah, I'm thankful for a lot of reasons for life today.

Captain Bringdown says it's Thomas Sear, author of the Nuremberg system. conceptual basis of world order from 1933 to present. Is it still, you still got a steady, steady little sales stream coming in? Oh, yeah, it hasn't slowed down. Oh, awesome. Yeah, it's popping very well. And that's a huge help. And I, that's why I immediately started working on the follow-up.

I mean, I figured that this sort of, I know that this wouldn't bomb or something, but it's exceeded expectations quite dramatically and exponentially. So, yeah, that motivated me to segue right into, you know, follow-up long-form stuff. I mean, that was my plan anyway. You know, I've been adjusting my workflow towards that program for a minute. But, like, if this book had barely turned a profit or if there wasn't really any buzz about it, I'd be like, well, you know, I guess this isn't really the thing to do. But I would have been surprised if that happened because, you know,

I think my instincts are pretty good for things. And it seemed like the time to... Yeah, I can't wait to hear the, or read what more you've written on the second book, because I'm all caught up, caught up on what you sent me. Yeah, it's coming along. Like I said, ideally, I'm not putting, I'm trying not to put too much, pressure on myself, you know, but like I was telling burden. Ideally, I'd like to have, I'd like to have it done by holiday time. And then first thing next year, get it published,

you know, and I think, I think that's reasonable. The next couple of weeks are going to be busy because we got the Wisconsin event in just under two weeks. Then we got the party. And, But then I'm going to try and get as much done as possible between then and October 3rd when I go out to the northwest. But yeah, it's been coming along. Like when I raise about it here, I'm going to go to the landmark. You have something to eat because I haven't eaten yet today because we were doing this stream. And then I'm going to put in a couple hours on to see if I can't bang out at least complete the chapter I'm on right now. Nice. Joshua over on substack. Joshua on subsack wants your Raiders and your Bears predictions.

I mean, it's hard to, the Raiders not been looking good in the preseason, unfortunately, but I do think it's not going to, I got confidence that it's not going to be the disaster that last season was. But the Bears, I mean, it's, the Bears, the front office are such fucking liars. Like, it's hard to. it started to tell like what the future holds. And like I realized that when the move to Hammond or whatever happened, it's not going to be for another few seasons. But there's been so much uncertainty. I mean, that's going to trickle down and further Fubar morale. Just because it leaves the revenue side of things up in the air,

the bears aren't going to make an impact this season. I mean, anything can happen. And, like, my, my picks on both midterm elections as well as on NFL, like, before the season actually commences, are, like, notoriously bad, so I don't make them. But, um, I think, uh, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, the Raiders are going to make the playoffs and get blown out fast. I, I, I, the bears are it's going to be a fucking bust, all right? But, like I said, I'm the first to admit my picks are not good, you know, before this proper season. gets underway, so don't take that to the bank

or, you know, sandbag me later with a gotcha because, yeah, I admit, I don't know, but, yeah. My one wildguard pick, I think the Browns might finally get their shit together, you know, speaking to, like, food bar franchises. So if I

if I was, like, a, if I was, like, a fantasy football guy or something, I'd look at, there's that one, like, white running back because I'm putting up numbers for the Browns offense. You know, uh,

so I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't,

they're not going to, like, making them bang on a playoffs or anything, but I, you know, I, I think the Browns might surprise people. Um,

but yeah, those, those, that's the only, like, hot take I have on it. Stephen Fox, who I know you were hanging out with a couple weeks ago,

said he got his copy of the book. Congratulations. Can't wait to have some bushmills with you sometime soon. Yeah, no, Steve's awesome. And all the, uh, all the, uh, all the, uh, all the, uh, all the, all the, uh, all the Grand Rapids guys are awesome. Like we had, Grand Rapids and Hastings is that little town like adjacent. That's, we, we, we had an awesome trip. Like, me and our fearless leader went up there.

And yeah, Steve and, and, and the, and the, and the Grand Rapids guys showed us. We had a tremendous hospitality. We had a great time. You know, I've been, I've been, I've been singly impressed in Michigan, man. like I said. And last February, me and a couple friends, um, like a lady I'm tight with and her and her man. We,

we, he drove us up to Detroit and we hung out with the Detroit guys. And the Detroit guys are awesome too. Oh, and over, yes, on Friday, we went to Lichets and I finally got to meet the,

the South Side guys and the Northwest Indiana guys. And we, uh, we ended up, uh, driving down to him and to take like one of the young bloods home and i like i like him and it's an interesting place you know um yeah i heard on the one hand it's go ahead you you don't you don't have to call anyone out or anything but i heard um one of those guys was from an exceptional bloodline

yeah yeah he's yeah yeah he stays in him and he's a good dude we had a good talk you know me and uh our ir rini and buddy drove him uh drove him down to him and then uh it uh yeah like northwest indianne is really interesting man because in the one hand it's it's kind of like an extension of the south side like hedge wish and stuff and some of like the rougher hoods are kind of like an extension of the wild hundreds but it's also more it's also it all fuels more southern you know but i i like it man like i don't um i'm i'm happy being on the north shore you know don't get me wrong i'm not heavy about the property tax i pay to Cook County, just on principle, but also because they gouge you.

And, I mean, Indiana is appealing for affordability and low taxes. And they're not a constitutional carry state, but they're carried a perfect state. So they're about halfway good on that. You know, it's got a lot going for it. But I'm not going to relocate down there, you know. You know, like I said, man, I increasingly am, you know, I'm going to start spending winters in the Northwest or down around Burdenland, you know, around Lynchburg. But I'm going to stay, I'm going to remain situated for, you know, at least the warm months here in perpetuity. And I, and specifically on the North Shore, man, you know, I fit in here.

And plus, like, the North Shore is dope, man. you know I for me at least there's not a better place to live other than a winter when it becomes like a hell of chain leak fences and like and and like dog pee snow and and like gray and cold like a conspiracy to tank your serotonin go ahead we got a super chat um excomer says love the book but it makes me feel dumb gotta google lots of words it feels like post grad level writing No, I mean, it's a complicated subject matter. And when you're dealing with something so highly conceptual, it's difficult to translate those conceptual paradigms into plain English and such that you can, which I'd like to think I'm better at than some of these academic types, you've got to draw upon a lot of German loan words and things. and that's difficult

than of itself. I mean, there's less loss in translation between German and vernacular English, obviously, because there's so much commonality. But there are still things you can express in German that don't really translate.

I mean, that's like an added layer. But no, thank you for that compliment. You know, like I said, feedback's been uniformly positive and that's great, because if it's not readable, and if people are, it's not helping them in their own studies, it's a waste of time or a vanity project. And that, I mean, I, I speculate there's a lot of authors

and the reason they write anything, whatever the topic or genre is basically a vanity project. And I mean, whatever. You know, I'm not, I'm not going to sit in judgment of people. Everybody's got to make a living, but I think that's kind of shitty. You know, you're doing, you're doing people with this service who support you and your labors. and plus especially because you know having a family and a more conventional sort of life wasn't what god would have for me

I do feel it's incumbent to give something back and in my own small way that's what you know I intend for my work product to be both now but especially after I'm gone so thank you very much yeah before we move on Stephen Fox was in there I want people to go order Fox and Sons coffee and use promo code OGC. It's a coffee I drink every day. Literally. Me too, man. It's awesome.

I just finished this cup of coffee and I think it's my fifth today. No judgments, please. Christian, on what you just said, Christian Anglo-Saxon, Kindred here said, good evening from England, gentlemen. He heard you talking on Thomas's live stream about fatherhood, just wanted to say, and I'm sure I speak for thousands of the Volk, but the knowledge you both have passed on to us will be passed on to our children.

Thank you both. I salute you. Likewise. Thank you, my friend. Thank you. Also, the first episode going over the introductions of Thomas's book where I'm reading it and I ask Thomas questions about things that I may have questions about has been released and we're recording the second episode and I read chapter one today and I took notes.

So it'll be a very even flow tomorrow where. we'll be able to knock that out. And I think people will get a better understanding, but if they do have questions, hopefully my questions will help to answer some of the questions that they have if the language is challenging to them at all. No, no, that's tremendous. And the first episode is popping very well.

I don't fixate on the numbers of views and stuff. especially with something like that because it's somebody esoteric and and there's and weighty you know um can like topically i mean but it's it's popping very well and i like i said last week i wasn't feeling great so i was worried i came off as foggy you're kind of out of it um which is not a good look especially if it's your own work product in our discussion but not people said, no, it was very good. And they said that the points were clear and, you know, there's some clarifications made.

One thing I've found, I'm sorry, one thing I've found is it read, reading one chapter as, like reading one chapter and then thinking about it, just taking each chapter on its own, which is what I'm doing now

is I'm reading through a chapter and I've already read the book three times in the editing process. So, yeah, yeah. But reading through like one chapter and then taking notes on it on what I, questions that I have and questions that I think people would, I'm trying to anticipate questions other people would have. I think it's also, it's also given me a better understanding in the material so that I'll be able to,

hopefully at some time, you know, if I'm on someone's show alone and they want to ask me about the book because they know that you and I, you and I are cadre, I'll be able to, if not as well as you do, I'll at least be able to articulate the message in the book. No, that's great, man.

I appreciate that. Yeah, what I was saying is the follow-up, which I intend to be like a genuine follow-up, not just in linear terms, but in conceptual ones. Well, I mean, first of all, it's much more a straightforward history book, but with the tie that binds being a lot of conceptual subject, matter that I mean I guess what I'm dealing is that it deals with the praxis of the American situation of the past hundred years or more properly from about 1915 to about 20 21 you know it's essentially 1915 to 2015 but then there's there's a couple addendum chapters one of which I've

already written I don't always write things in a linear way I don't know if other writers do that or not I've never picked anybody's brain about that. But that's not the way I work. But there's going to be a cut like to really be addendum chapters that deal with January 6, 2021, and then there's going to be an epilogue that deals with things subsequent, you know, and why, you know, Trump's second term has been a bust without making any hard and fast predictions about the state of the new resistance. But point being, I think it may even more accessible. When I say accessible, I'm not, I'm not being some dickhead intellectual stub. Like,

oh, the hoi-poly will be able to understand it. I mean that I, I'm not any smarter than anybody else. I mean, obviously, but my subject area is very abstract, you know, and there's not exactly there's not exactly a lot of people who read up on political theory as their primary research concentration. You know, I mean, that, and I mean, honestly, that's unfortunate because that's such that a traditional university system still as a role to play,

that's the kind of thing they should be doing. You know, outside of the hard sciences and mathematics, you know, obviously. But not that there'd be a glut of political theorists running around anyway, but there's even fewer than there would be, I think, were it properly cultivated, but even then there wouldn't be a lot. But my point being is that it's an esoteric subject area, despite the fact that it's something that, you know, politically engaged people obviously taking interest in. And that's always been where my skill set lies. But it's

It's not a familiar, there's not a familiar conceptual vocabulary. That's what I mean. And also, I mean, people's minds are oriented in different ways. I mean, obviously, you know, this man's a tradesman. And when he looks at, you know, when he, he can look at a home or a dwelling and in his mind can calculate, you know, how I would build this, you know, what the labor would involve, what materials. Like, that's totally alien to me. I find that incredible guys who can do that. or like sit down and literally sketch on like a cocktail napkin like oh here's how we'd build this

like a good friend of mine who's like that you know like another man like he's great at mathematics you know uh i i'm very much like a theoretically oriented person it just comes natural to me it always has but also it begs the question if you're writing something that has a that's a just a partisan commitment, it begs the question as to, well, you know, even if you're not advocating some sort of direct activity in the service of that commitment, it will give me an example of the praxis of what you're talking about. Well, the praxis, this is the 20th century and how it shook out. But it's important to understand because one of the reasons, you know, people get let astray. And to be clear, I mean, I'm, I, I invoke the late Tommy Messker all the time, contrary Louis Thoreau.

Like, what the hell do I want with Normies? We don't. And we're not, we're not, we're not trying to convince people who subscribe to, you know, the American Spectator. I'm probably dating myself of that. I'm probably saying like the daily caller to, you know, come to our side. That's, that's, that's not in the game. That's fucking stupid. But, uh, at the same time, some people do get let astray or they reach a metaphorical dead end in their self-education. because they don't know the conceptual tools to understand the subject matter in a historical capacity.

You know, and I, that's an important aspect of this. So that's why that's why this follow-up is essentially about, you know, the right-wing resistance from the second era or the new era. or the new era clan until mega like I'm not suggesting mega is like a genuine

like outlaw resistance element but it it came about owing to an intrinsic tendency in the zeitgeist towards resistance activity

and that's the way the system set about acknowledging and attempting to absorb while also neutralizing its it's outlaw

tendencies by outlaw I don't mean putting on a bandit rag and you know picking up a couple peacemakers

and blasting your way into banks like John Dillinger or or Jesse James although it can mean that and I have a whole chapters dedicated to those examples

including Jesse James himself okay I mean quite literally any tenancy outside of the outside of the penumbra of what the sovereign declares to be permissible or legitimate. You know, that can mean everything

from writing what I'm off to stem as that literature to the order of Brutterschfigen hitting armored cars and it's a patient of a genuine revolutionary tendency. There's a spectrum. You know, but that's what I'm trying to convey with this book.

This book will probably be a bit longer you know, I had more to say on the, on the subject matter of the Nureberg system, but I also didn't want to assault the reader with a 500-page tome. I think that's a mistake anyway, unless you're quite literally writing a textbook for a discrete curriculum. You know, but depending on what kind of inspiration strikes and where I'm at, out of this tour season, not to think about it. the subsequent to what I'm working on now

when that gets published, I may do a direct, but like a more direct follow-up on the conceptual side, especially made with an emphasis on the European situation. I don't know. It's hard to say. But I'm also,

during this travel season in part, one of the reasons I'm planning to visit some of these people in deliberate communities, you know, not just because I like them and they were nice to invite me. But I also want to develop a clear picture of what they're doing and, you know, kind of do what they're doing for a few days and chill with them, you know.

And so, I mean, who knows? I mean, maybe there's the potential there too for me to kind of turn that stuff I document into a radicals diary kind of thing. like, okay, you know, during my 2026, 27 travel season, I wandered around and this is the state of the new resistance in these deliberate communities. I'll have to think about it. You know, and plus, I'll have to see what inspiration strikes.

And I'll have to see what the feedback is. Like, in the course of this season, I want to talk to the people who read the book and see kind of like what they're thirsty for in terms of what they want to read about most immediately. But, yeah, I'm excited, man. I'm very, very thankful.

You know, I... Yeah. I don't want to be corny. It's too personal. But my life's very, very good now, and I'm very lucky. For a long time, it wasn't. And admittedly, like, that was, that's probably about 70, 30, like, 70% my fault. So I did responsibility for that.

But, you know, I'm really fortunate, man. I mean, any man who can, within reason, do what he wants is fortunate. Like, hugely, you know. So I don't lose sight of that. But, I'm, I'm not. very lucky there's an audience for what I write, not just because it allows me to continue doing it, but, you know, also that I'm, I'm not just, I don't just write this long form stuff so that, you know, people have something to read or listen to during their morning commute or, you know, before they go to bed, you know, and they're chilling out with a book or something. It's, you know, I, I want to convey something valuable to people in terms of their intellectual development. So that's, that's just great. But that's, that's the enemy patting myself on the back. If you can be even turned into that. Let me catch up on a couple of comments here.

One of the friends here send a Venmo super chat, said enjoying Thomas's new book, tell him to check his Bush Mills travel fund. Sounds like he sent you a little gift. Oh, thank you very much, man. That's very generous of you. Over on the substack, we got Nessa says it's hard to find people who did conception. thought instead of just thinking it's weird. I've had a lot of people like that complaining about the language, and I just told them,

I guess it's not for you. Darrell's demand for plugging T7's book on Tucker, and then on substack and on X, where he caught a lot of heat for that. Yeah, Darrell's a dear friend, man. Yeah. Let's see, we got here. Crumpet says first couple chapters were more difficult than the later ones. Yeah, I found that too, that once you get past the first couple chapters where you're laying down a conceptual,

you know, a conceptual overview and you start nailing things down, it gets much. That's like I've told so many people to read Jews in modern capitalism by Werner Sombart, and they don't get through the first chapter. And I'm like, just get through the first chapter. The history starts in the second chapter. And the first chapter is only three pages long. So, you know, please. No, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's very true.

Like Schumpeter Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy is the same way. So is David Irving is the virus house. And Irving is, or he's got a reputation of being really, really readable. I mean, he's, he's a typical, or not typical, but he's, he's kind of a cliche, the way he can really paint a picture with his narrative. and read like a novel. You're breaking up. You're breaking up again.

You're sort of a... Okay, you're good now. Yeah, no, Irving's really masterful at painting pictures with his narrative structure. But the book The Virus House, which is about... And Irving, believe it or not, he only attended university for, I think, four semesters or something. But he studied nuclear physics. You know, he's a really intelligent guy. But the virus house, the first couple chapters,

it's laying down the science of nuclear weapons. You know, and that loses a lot of people. Because that's a topic that's on people's minds a lot, just because there's a laureate appeal, but also, it's, you know, it's the kind of stuff that was the subject matter, like Robert Littlum novels. Oh, you know, the German atomic bomb program. program. So people are thirsty for that sort of subject matter, you know, but then it's like, oh,

well, the first 80 pages are about, you know, why weapons grade plutonium is like a rare element and what goes into, you know, refining it so that it can be util and to be weaponized. You know, and it's also, I just can't, I mean, I don't know what people want, man. I mean, again, yeah, I mean, my attitude is, this must just not be for you, but I don't understand how I can make a Hegelian claim about the way that, you know, the historical process is impacted by zeitgeist and psychological factors without drawing upon precedent for that. And the precedent is stuff like Hegel and Ficta and Hobbs. It's like, how can I write a four dummies version of that? I already feel like I'm kind of doing that. You know, like, I mean, it's like,

gee, sorry if there's, like, big words. And, you know, there's a lot of big words here. That's fake stuff. Okay. I don't know what you want, man. I mean, not you. I'm speaking generally. But, no, I can't complain, man.

Like, for that kind of book to be an abject success by any metric, I mean, that's tremendous, man. I don't want to sound like some fucking ingrate or something. And by and large, there's a huge, amount of positive energy around the stuff that I engage with, you know, and that, that, and that's huge, man, and that, you know, that's one of the reasons I don't fuck with social media generally. It's a waste of my time and the people who run it hate me and, and just, like, nuke my accounts for no reason.

So unless I was a masochist or some, or a guy with the writer's equivalent of battered's wife syndrome, I'm like, why would I fuck with it anyway? But it's also, I mean, it's just, it's, like, entirely negative. And it's just like, it's like shitposting goofballs who are miserable and they want to like dab off their misery by getting into like slap fights and insult contest with other randos. Like there's, that's very, that's very toxic. And it doesn't have been a waste of time. And I mean, I'm not, I'm not macab. I mean, I realize I'm kind of a morbid angle sex and in a top head of a midwesterner.

But I try not to lean too hard into that. and be a morbid person, but I also am a realist and I'm not a young man. You know, I plan to be here for a minute, but I might not be, man. You know, so I, the time I have left, I've already outlived my, I've already outlived my mom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, exactly, man. So I, I don't want to spend the time I have left. kind of wallowing and the negative energy derived from trading insults with assholes or just like

or even if it's not, you know, flagrantly toxic like that, you know, the interaction or just like wasting my time on social media. Like I, and it is a waste of time. You know, like I, at least if you're playing video games or something, I don't do that either. At least there's, at least that's, you know, that's like fun to do. You know, I mean, what's what's fun about. arguing with with shit fucks on platforms run by our ops.

You know, that's about as much fun as stabbing yourself in the groin with, you know, dull scissors over and over, really. I got a text message here from who's this guy? I think he goes by Carl Dahl.

He says, yeah, he's that he's that mulatto guy. I thought he was Mexican. social media. I'm just kidding. Carl is the man. He really is, man.

He deserves huge props for this book sing light a day. Like, I mean that. Without him, wouldn't have possible. No, go ahead. I'm sorry, buddy. He says, it's been an honor to be one of the fellows who helped in our own small ways to unleash this work upon the world. Hail nicotine.

Hail Bush Mills. Hail victory. Yeah, and hail Carl, man, like, legit. I'm not just being polite because he, you know, dedicated so much time. an effort to making this happen. If it wasn't for him, this wouldn't have seen light a day.

I mean, huge props to Andy Edwards and Burden as well. But Carl really, and plus two, I mean, like I've said, despite the fact that I was, in someone was an early adapter because I was on using that, you know, in like National Socialist IRC chat and like revisionist stuff and like right wing stuff. You know, I'm kind of a lot of. retard man you know so Carl was very patient with like holding my hand through some of this

stuff and like getting texts from me at weird hours about how to deal with Kindle direct publishing and that that's that's probably about as like rewarding and fun as like teaching some Down syndrome kid to like go to the bathroom by himself like you know but I mean Carl was never like rude or he was never impatient with me or like irritated with me he was legit basically like my on-demand um um like help that's good like i i'm very lucky man that's breaking up again um yeah it's just it's just it's streamyard plus this mike okay um Zach Frisby says that Carl Dahl sent that text message while shooting a pistol sideways

stealing shit out of people's garage. Jackson School of Small Arms. Yeah. Pete Hutter also said earlier, he said, you write the part you have in mind at the moment, then organize it all in editing, never to try to force writing into order, follow the muse at the moment.

No, that's true. And for academic writing, it is a bit different than literary efforts, because literary efforts come from a pure creative space. I do in my mind, and part of this is because you get, they drill it into you in law school, or at least they did, you know, 25 years ago, to outline your writing according to a certain discrete model in your mind. So whether I want to or not, I always outline my academic writing according to that paradigm.

But, you know, your research takes you where it takes you. So there's that. You know, and if I'm, if I'm in the midst of, one aspect of that, you know, of the subject matter. I've got to strike while the iron's hot and I'm immersed in it. And also, yeah, there is a spontaneous aspect as well. You know, it's like, okay, I want to write about this aspect of the subject rather than, you know, another, because this is just on my mind today going to, you know, various factors, some pragmatic with

respect to well these are the sources in front of me right now and some a little more pre-rational and hedonic but yeah yeah boy howdy getting questions about karl over here or what we got here comments on Carl said the running Carl doll jokes are always funny hail Carl philanthropists said did Carl dole write the Phantom Tollbooth book is lame what's hell is that all about it? Yeah, that's kind of a stupid book. And it's it's kind of a stupid cartoon. When I was in, when I was in grade school, they'd show that all the time, like, for whatever reason, like every year, at least once a year late. And that's when they'd truck in, the actual

projector, you know, and like, we're watching, like, the Phantom Tobooth, because teachers hung over today. So I saw that movie, like, 12 times. And, like, from the time I was, like, you know, like in kindergarten, like fifth grade, probably. I mean, I guess that I wonder if the joke was that that book was written by Norton Jester, who, of course, was a tribe member. I didn't know that. I am impressed. It's also just like an odd book.

Breaking up again. Cracking up again. On the one hand, there's this kind of like, I'll be in a low fantasy way. Like, there's this world building, but then it's just kind of like word games that constitute

the middle section of the book. Yeah. No, as far as kids' books go, I mean, every fall season, I shout out, you know, the Halloween tree. I'm a Ray Bradbury's output was mixed

But the Halloween tree always When I was a little kid That that book made a big Impact on me It's not a kid's book It's a pre or it's like a A book It's probably what they'd call it now

I generally don't understand The call to J.D. Salinger Like when I was They probably redacted this by now But 35, 40 years ago Like when we were in high school

You know you had to, like in 10th grade, you read the Catcher in the Rye. I don't know if they did that in New York City. It was 10th grade. It was 10th grade. Yeah, yeah. And it's not, it's not a bad book, but it's not a great book either. You know, and it's not just, it wasn't just old school education types who claim that. Like, I'm going to do nexters all the time. We're like, yeah, you know, that book just changed my life. I'm like, really?

I honestly didn't get that out of it. You know, like I said, it's, it's not a bad book, but it's kind of just a forgettable book. What I thought most interesting was that it's a period piece because it gives you a sense of Holden's journey through New York City of the 50s. I mean, I'm a sucker for like period piece 50 stuff, you know. That's what I thought was cool about it. But the rest of it, it's like, man, like what's, it's like, okay, this guy is kind of like, he's kind of like a neurotic, simpy. kid like why I don't I don't why is that so super relatable you know well I guess the one thing we got one thing that came good out of that book is it helped us get rid of one hippie

I knew somebody was gonna say that what's uh our buddy um up in up in PA Eric sent a super chat over on the Benmo thanks man always appreciate you Boy, howdy. What is it? Crypto Farrell says, basically it's like Catch for the Rise Teen Angst in the 50s.

Yeah, no, legit. And to be fair, so is Rebel Without a Cause, but Rebel Out of Cause is actually a great film. And it's also, it's also pretty, for its time,

it was pretty, it dealt with some pretty heavy stuff. You know, I mean, nothing groundbreakingly profound, but, you know, I'm not, I'm not just down on it because, like, oh, that's, that's kid stuff or whatever. I mean, I, like, I watched Rebel Outta cause the other week for the first time probably in, like, 20, 25 years, and it holds up, you know, um, I mean, the optics are great, and, uh, James Dean and Adelaie would have great chemistry. Yeah, definitely.

And that era in particular, the schematics of early color film, like, really, really pop. Like, even a movie, like, watch something like Return of the Fly, which is absolutely like a B-movie creature feature. And, I mean, the set pieces are good, too. But the colors are, there's real, the richness is just awesome. you know, in a way that doesn't, in a way that was more refined, somehow at the same way, more refined than what came later in the 60s.

I was thinking about that when I was watching dazed and confused the other day. This isn't a pure non-sequitur. I'm tying this in, give me a minute. But, you know, like I said, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. Some of his takes are ridiculous and garbage. Some of his takes are really insolkent. insightful and this is one of the latter.

He said that he said that on Dazing and a fuse in Rio Bravo are the two great quote hangout movies because both lack like a conventional or coherent plot structure. It's like a day in the life and real time of these

people. It's almost like cinema verite but with its own discreet spin on it. And you know, Dazing and Fuse is a great movie. Like I'll die in that hill. It's not it's not just some goofy movie like

porkeys or something. You know, the set pieces in that are one of the reasons even people don't really like it. We'll give it props is because the set pieces are really captured the 70s. And everything, like the richness and

variety of color in the 70s, everything from clothes to cars to home furnishings was really dynamic. And some it works sometimes it's the fact that everything's kind of become gray these days. Okay, the kind of lacquered paints that were

lead-based, you can't use those anymore. But it's not the whole story. That doesn't mean every single automobile needs to be gray or white or black. You know, and there's a deliberate sort of absence of imagination there and that's one of the things I like that's that's really what makes

and it particularly jumps out with respect to cars but it's not it's not the minimalist aspect that's part of it but it's it's more the deliberate absence of color I think you know that and just the kind of homogenization of it I, uh, this is one on my mind too, because like we were talking about on Thursday, I, you know, sometime, uh, around holiday time, I'm going to get a driver's license again.

And early next year, you know, I'm going to buy a car. So I've been shopping around at a curiosity, you know, the auto trader and stuff. And the, the cool fact. just disappearing from domestic auto manufacture really sucks. Speaking of D-Dazin-Fused, I'll go ahead. Domestic especially. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It, uh, my favorite whip and, uh, dazing and fused, um, is, uh, the, uh, 74 Trans-A-Am

Super Duty. You know, that was picking a 455. and the shift to unleaded gasoline plus a lot of the performance choking yeah performance choking emissions regulations and stuff

you know that was the start of the malaise era but Pontiac that's right when they coined the we build excitement tagline because the Super Duty was the last true muscle car you know it was when everybody else was

scaling down. They're like, no, fuck that. We're throwing a 455 in this bid, bitch. And it's just cool. I mean, I realize that the 77 gets all the love, but there's a special place in my heart for the 74 Super Duty. It's as bad as fuck.

And it had a functional shaker. And originally from the factory, too, this is really odd. There's only about 215 of made but

there was a couple hundred four speed manual transmission Super Duty Firebirds in 74 and they had the functional shaker scoop

but they put this weird plate over the intake you know for noise suppression but after market you get this after market flap

that would flip open when you floored it. And then this one guy in the last several years or whatever, he specializes in restoration parts for firebirds. He basically, he like 3D printed that

that mobile flap. But then also there's this LED insert. So when the flap opens, This LED or digital plate insert, it lights up and it looks like hemiphire or something. And I'm like, that's fucking cool, man. You know, but like we were talking about her text, man. They're so expensive. Unless you're so expensive.

And burden blames a lot of it on that Bring a Trailer website. He said that Bring a Trailer website and probably the Barrett Jackson auctions on TV probably didn't do anything to help the price of, you know, of those vehicles. Yeah, it's interesting because you can sell, well, it's interesting because like on the auto trader, you can tell if there's these guys to restore like old firebirds and they're just, they're, they're just looking for like,

for like boomer rubes and they're trying to sell them like a 78 TA for literally like $100,000. Like I laughed out loud when I saw that. But then you'll find some like local, you'll look at like the low, local ads from like some place in Kentucky and it's some dude selling the same ride and it's a better

restoration and it's for like 35,000 which is like yeah that that's what it's worth you know but uh no but much even if I unless I legit like won the lottery you know despite like buying like a 455

super duty burb that that's that'd be like they'll like keeping a teenage strippers a mistress you just can't you just can't like you can't justify that that, you know, I mean, you can if you're really rich, like with the burr. I'm not, not the teenage stripper. I don't think that's a good look ever.

But, you know, especially in this climate, I'd have to stick the burb and, you know, I'd have to winter, winterize it and stick it in a garage for six months, you know, and that's, I don't know. But it almost be afraid to drive it, man, because there's so few of them still kicking around. I mean, there's classic muscle car restorations where if I were during the summer, I would make it my daily driver. Like the burb, I'd be like, I'd feel like, I don't feel like I was hurting it or something.

But I've got a special relationship. Go ahead. Eric followed up that super chat. He texted me. He said, I just finished the book, your book. And it really added a lot to what you've been talking about with Pete for the last four or five years. It's a depth of knowledge that most people can't comprehend.

Anybody that doesn't like big words can go get fucking choked. Oh, thank you, buddy. That's quite an endorsement. I really appreciate that, man. So there's, Xcomber says Superbad is millennial, dazed, and confused. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. P. Nord said, I saw, I saw Dazzing Confused in college. Turns out, I lived the movie senior year high school, drive around aimlessly, and eventually end up party

in the woods. Well, that's also a Tarantino and Linklater both said. These, like, teen movies where the denouye was, you know, yeah, like, the pro tag is some, like, geeky guy who, like, punches out the popular guy and gets the girl. Like, that's not what being in high school is. Being in high school is, yeah, it's, like, driving around, like, fucking around with your friends, you know, uh, try, you know, trying to, trying to, trying to, trying to get close to some girls and being kind of goofy about it when you're trying to be,

cool and then yeah ending up in the woods like getting drunk on keg beer and then coming home at dawn and like your dad or your mom waiting up and being like where the hell you've been you know like yeah you know well plus two the characters um and days are confused you know like wooderson like everybody knew some dude who was like 23 and you'd call him up to buy your beer and he always had like a 15 year old girlfriend and he was kind of a creep but he was also like a good dude you know uh like every every every high school crew like like nose a guy like that and um you know the they seem like real types and uh it uh the the movie everybody wants some is dope too you know it's kind of like the un like the spiritual sequel to dazing and fused no link lighter is uh he's a great filmmaker man um you know and like i said it's interesting because uh tarentino's hit or miss like he but i i agree with his takes more often than I don't. But when he misses, he'll say, he'll say some, like, terrible movie is like, brilliant. He'll be like, what are you talking about?

But, you know. Something that's unwatchable. Yeah, yeah. Both Zach Frisbee and Pete Hudder said TV show, the Americans masterpiece, stunning, gets better as it goes. And most TV shows are not like that. Yeah, it's one of my favorite TV shows, too. I thought it was, uh, it was special.

Yeah. Yeah, and I like that it opens when Reagan takes the oath of office and stuff that figures into the plot. Like the Pershing 2 deployment is a big plot point. This is SDI. Yeah, I... And plot, not enough is done, there's kind of goofy, superficial nostalgia pieces about, oh, Reagan's America and the Cold War. But there's not serious treatments of the paradigm. there's a fantastic book about

called The Brink and I cite it all the time for people who read my long form stuff and it's about how dangerous the post-de-ton final phase was of the Cold War and how deeper parodies

and the sideline of human decision makers conspired to create a modality of brinksmanship that was both incredibly binary and incredibly dangerous. And that's why Gorbachev, who was Andropov's protege, a lot of people don't seem to realize that. Or if they superficially understand that as a fact, they don't discern the implications of that. Gorbachev realized the cold already ended or there absolutely would have been a nuclear war. you know um and it's not an accident either i mean within any closed system which any military um strategic paradigm is there there's not endless variables or configurations of variables that are going to alter potential outcomes temporally or

existentially and 1951, 1962, 1973, 1983, there was incredibly dangerous

brinksmanship crises. You know, so about every decade that was how the conflict paradigm shook out.

You know, by the 1990, these, there would have been a nuclear war. I'm convinced. We got a super chat from Sly Lego over on Rumble, and he says, I can see Thomas in a Mercury marauder. That's, I mean, isn't that just basically a crown Vic, but with like a turbocharged five liter in it?

Yeah, it's a similar platform. They're not identical. the Mercury brand was interesting. There were some real dods, but there were some really cool rides too. I got my, I'm going to go with the hearse. Or if I can find, because I'm a sucker for the early 90s. You know, someone would suggest even I fell into a time eddy and now I'm like stuck there. I wouldn't run from that.

What a luxury ride. You know, a K. or a Lincoln. That's pretty North Star. The North Star came about in 94, I think. But even a North Star caddy that was in fighting shape. I'd consider that, too, but right now I'm leaning towards the hers. This is one of my, if you're looking 90s, this is one of my favorite cars from the 90s.

95 Eldo. Yeah, that's sexy as hell, man. Yeah. Yeah. And the ride in it is, um, it's just, um, this is. just amazing. And it's a sporty. I always like the El Dorado more than the fucking

than the Coop de Ville. The Eldorado always had a, and what's fascinating too about those later ones, there's still like the luxury features, but it's definitely like a sporty coop. Yeah, man. Yeah, that's freaking awesome. Yeah, those, that was one that I

had my eye on for a while. and I was like, oh, because the suspension on that thing is just you're driving on air. I think the, I rode in a buddy of mine, and I think the only smoother driving car that I ever drove was I had a 2001 Jaguar XJ-8L, and that road really smooth. No, Jaguars are like, yeah, they're like driving around on clouds, especially the old XJ-12, yeah. I'll have to think about it, but right now, right now I'm leaning towards a hearse. Oh, yeah, the hearse would be great because like, I forget, I think it was burden who said, you can just car camping that, throw a mattress in the back of that and you're, you're all good. Yeah, yeah, and they're durable too.

Like, I'm not planning to put it through real rough duty, but also like, and it's been to the apocalypse, like I said, we can, like, we can mount a BAR or a 30 caliber on it, too. or like i'd say like a vulcan cannon but we'd have to like steal that from like an airbase or something i wouldn't even know like where to get the ammo for it we'll get a b a r and and get some of like the fellows who are into like welding and stuff to like mount that look all i want is a diesel toyota high lux with a two forty nine mounted on the freaking back No, the two, like the 39 is a perfectly good spot. I'm personally on 60.

Like, that's what we need. We need a 60. We need a amount of 60 on the hearse. Yeah. It's funny people would say that. In the back. And there'll be some, like, lever. It's like we can have, like,

whoever's riding shotgun can be rear gunner. And you can, like, lie prone. And then, like, we'll, we'll, get upset like you pull a lever and like the back like hatch drops down and then you can like man the 60 um and like blast like whoever's uh on our six yeah the possibilities are endless um someone someone's saying the lincoln's second so go ahead of course someone's saying uh john john's saying that the lincoln town cars are good reliable cars if you can find an old one that grandpa has mostly left sit for years. I'm like, Tom, I want Thomas to find a, you know,

like a Lincoln caddy because, or a Lincoln limo because that, not limo hers, because then anybody can work on that. I mean, it's not, Cadillacs are, let me just tell you, Cadillacs are really hard to work on. You need special tools, special tool kits. And I worked at a Chevy dealership and people would bring caddies in to get them fixed. And the guys would be like, get that the hell out of here. We're not working on that. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. I imagine vets are kind of the same way for different reasons. Like, uh, people like, um, the guys, uh, the mechanics like to work on vets in the

Chevy dealership just because they knew that they knew how many hours that they could suck out of one of those things. Interesting. Well, I mean, at some level, like a Chevy 350s, a Chevy 350. but yeah yeah i don't know don't even i i don't mean to be abroad but i haven't eaten yet today because i always eat after content so my stomach is uh is talking to me it's like go fuck you

yeah yeah um if you'll leave it if you'll just mute out until the upload is done and then i'll boot you out um on my own i just want to make sure um your audio gets uploaded yeah no i i know i know how streamyard works at this point. This isn't our first rodeo. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, yeah.

All right. Be well, subs. Thank you for hosting me, feet. Of course. All right, anyone. What are we talking about now? So, Thomas should do a photo shoot on the Munster's Hot Rod.

It was it called Dragula? And then what's his name? Use that as a song title. what we got here. Frank James says, if you all covered Ernst Junger's war as inner experience, that would be cool, maybe. Better Off Dead is a great movie, Steve.

I like the name of DeCaprio, pointing to the Tarantino movie about Manson. The extent Breakfast Club is an Earth set, Catcher in the Rye in earnest. Breakfast Club is one of the most just degenerate movies of all time. I have on good authority. The M-S-60 is Rube Goldberg P-O-S, endless cool factor, though.

I've heard that, is it Rob Zombie, that I fucked that one up? Sorry. Welsh Dragon says, very important book, and I've already recommended it to many Normies who were on the cusp. God bless chance. Hell yeah, man. Hell yeah. Let me see if I can...

Oh, he's still not uploaded. No problem, Eric. Appreciate it. that. Xcomer, I came up with a new scler, Skinnyapolis, inspired by Black Hawk down. Oh, that's so good, man. Zach Frisby says, when you realize that Judd Nelson is a J. In Breakfast Club, it makes more sense. Yeah. I don't think I'm too smart, Austin. You drink to dumb yourself down. Probably weren't talking to me. Pete Hars like, so Milo had a week, huh? Oh, man. The only way to get Thomas's book is on is on amazon let's see what we got here yeah i've heard the um i've heard the um

m60 is is really is bad but then i've heard other people who who um operated one in theater and they said it was perfectly fine so yeah i i know austin thomas is going to send people into a friends be a friends of using the word whip again yeah i remember that uh That live stream we were doing when some guys like, you can't use whip that's black code. And we're like, go fuck yourself. And just banned him. We're going to tell you what to do.

I'm going to tell you what to do because, yeah, I'm on the live stream and I'm anonymous. What else we got here? All right. Check this out over here. Oh, yeah. Let's see scroll back a little bit Let's see

It's uh-da-da-da-da sorry Yeah where was that one Uh days, Welsh dragons said days and confused Really captured the feel of the late 70s In a way few movies or any medium can convey a feeling like that Yeah It's been a while um It's been a while since I watched it I gotta watch it again

Austin says I'm Canadian my country is fucked on black billed lately u.s isn't given usa is not giving me that much hope either uh well we shouldn't um we shouldn't be giving you any hope at all you got a country to take care of yourself i mean at some point we may have to step in and take care of it because if that border if no one's watching that border we're going to get invaded by the jeets that you have and i just heard from someone who was in nova scotia and they said nova scotia is just over run like everywhere like even the hoot even the Airbnb or the resort they went to was overrun by Jets and owned by Jets So what can you do thanks Pete Hutter appreciate it

Almost famous portrayed the late 60s lazily turning into the 70s well Yeah Isn't almost famous just basically like a soundtrack movie? Yeah here um nests says we will have high luck something We will have our homes again. The only people that belong in Nova Scotia, Crosby and McKinnon. That's pretty good, Zach Risby. Hockey fans have no idea.

People who aren't hockey fans, have no idea what you're talking about. Let's see if I can remove Thomas from the stage, and that does. All right. Well, it was nice to have Thomas on for the... Hey, it required, how you done for the Sunday stream. I know how much energy I have left in me. here. See. CSS Virginia says Carl broke his dryer by running a pocket full of 32 ACP brass through it. Well, I mean, you know, you have to be able to clean your brass somehow. Reloading 32 ACP sounds like

such a pain in the ass. Oh, I couldn't even imagine. I didn't even really like reloading 9mm when I was doing it. 10 millimeter was fun. Because there were so many cool recipes. Hey, Blue. Howdy? Oh, sorry, I'm late working in the yard. Time got away from me.

It was good to see you last weekend. Yeah, by the way, I wasn't here last weekend because I was in Texas where it was 105 fucking degrees. If you haven't heard me complain about it already, and I've been complaining about it ever since. I mean, I am never, you're never going to get me to go. go back to Texas in August or July it's just no you want me to come to Texas invite me for January please please that was awful I can't even I'm trying to super chat oh yeah I mean it happens

yeah blue says it was great seeing y'all two big hugs completely understand yeah especially that last that Sunday Sunday just took everything out of me. And I went to, I was going to go out to dinner with Palin Y Y YZ. And it was just like, no, you can come hang out at the hotel with me. But I don't even want to eat anything. It's so damn hot. Oh, Pete Hunter, 32 rocks, man.

I'm not a 30. I'm not a 380 guy, but 32 rocks. It's like impossible to collect World War II, um, European or Axis pistols if you, if you don't have 32. And you want to shoot them. You're going to shoot them at least once, right? Austin says, I'm poor, but just paying respect. I appreciate that.

I mean, you don't have to do that. Feo Viejo says, Texas and summertime reminds Indians of Dubai, of Mumbai. Excomber says the ATF said the FFL that sold suppressors under just a 4473 said it was okay. I wonder what comes next. Interesting.

I mean, just have the, How about just being able to buy SBRs or manufacture SBRs without having to go through a frigging headache? Cryptoferral says, I don't even want to be outside in southwest Missouri lately, but July in Dallas a few years ago was painful. Yeah. Well, you remember, I mean, the Childerberg wasn't all that much of a, wasn't all that great, and I think that was Memorial Day weekend.

Austin said I wanted thanks entertaining education I appreciate that thank you you don't have to do that though or there was something else notable you hated about Texas yes yes it's called just how much the it's been overtaken by the subcontinent

Phoenix arms gone out of business did a number on cheap 25 ACPs and the only Phoenix arms I ever had was like one of those 22 I think they were made out of pot metal. Northside CA says it's starting to look like martyr made has been wrong all along in Churchill as a hero for starving the Jeets. Well, that had nothing to do with World War II. Come on.

Chili was Chile in comparison. Yeah, it actually was, especially being down by the river. I mean, I started going to Texas probably like six years ago, seven years. ago. And I really liked it. It seemed like another country to me. But it seemed like another country because they were like, this is Texas and we love Texas. Now it seems like another country for a totally different reason, and that sucks. You see the Hamilton police like telling venues not to hold Dominion Society. I live near. Dominion Society is that the nationalist group? and I assume that means not to host the Dominion Society. Police are supposed to be bipartisan.

That's hilarious. CSS Virginia says, I need a suppressed 44 mag carbine in my life. Yeah, yeah, that's fun. Especially if you can shoot 44 special out of them because then it's even more quiet. Yeah, anti-immigration candidate group, that's what I thought, yeah. Well, I mean, you know, it is these days.

not can't be shocked someone supported over on coffee give me one second see who that was ah Rabbi Bergstein Blatwitz Edelman

Oe vei that's hermake discourse says gratuity for my von's oe vei but seriously congrats to Thomas for his book being released so successfully

thank you thank you Aramaic discourse is awesome. Appreciate you. That's pretty funny. See, there we go. I'm going to get out of here pretty soon. They're not, but they're not but supposed to be British guy. I mean, yeah, it just doesn't. You're not going to win with those guys. They're, yeah. All right, well, I need to have that last cup of coffee that I made before. So preference for suppressed, 9.5.5.5.5.

millimeter or 45 ACP. I mean, I just, I don't own any 45. It just, I mean, I'm, I may look old, but I'm not a boomer. So, you know, I'm not going to own any 45. So suppress nine millimeter. A great suppressed nine millimeter is a barretta, um, 147 grain or higher. And, um, with the, um, the rugged, uh, the rugged nine, it's quite, you could shoot it with, without ear. indoors. That's my experience. All right, let me see over here. Okay, no more over here. All right, I'm going to get out of here. Thank you. Thank you for tuning in.

And thank you for buying Thomas's book. And I will see you next week. I will be here. Talk to you later. Take care. Bye.
