Starting point is 00:00:00 Substak has its issues, but I still have a lot more love for it than any other available platform. They always pay me in a timely manner. Absolutely. I'll censor my shit. And, oh, yeah, I'm sorry for, check this out. I'm sorry for a one second. Sure. Yeah, for some reason, I, uh, I switched to AT&T from Cricket because they hold themselves out as being two separate carriers.
Starting point is 00:00:36 and they make you replace the sim. It's an e-sim. It's not a big deal. And go through all this, this whole fucking song and dance. But then lo and behold, I was trying to log into AT&T to set up auto pay, and it wasn't letting me do it.
Starting point is 00:00:50 And it's like, you don't have an account with us. Well, lo and behold, cricket, it's a subsidiary of AT&T, if you're prepaid, you're automatically under your accounts, under the authority of cricket. Nobody told me that. And they still make you,
Starting point is 00:01:05 so now I've got an AT&T, phone and they bill me but I need to log into my old cricket account to pay. So I'm just fine. I mean, I got this fucking dope ass. It's charging now. But I got this dope ass like flip phone for like a couple of hundred bucks that retails for like $800. But it's like cricket won't let me escape. I'm still, I'm still the last white person. I use this cricket. But you can sell it. Say what they want about prepaid man. I got unlimited everything for like $55. And um, they can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. can't they can't shy like you on hidden charges and stuff because like you're paying up front.
Starting point is 00:01:40 So that's what I say with them. Oh, no, why I've spun me today. But, um, and that kind of stuck. What? Yeah. No, we have, um, we have consumer cellular and it's 85 bucks a month for both of us. And that's awesome. I mean, and everything's unlimited.
Starting point is 00:01:58 So, because I, I, I used to have AT&T. I used to have Verizon. I just really hate the hate dealing with that bullshit. I mean, I know that most of the, most of the smaller companies are subsidiaries. I still just feel a lot better not having to deal with those big fucking companies. I mean, yeah, I was with 18 and 2 for like 20 years, man.
Starting point is 00:02:20 No, cricket's so extreme to me. Well, yeah, back on the day, the reason I switched to exclusively prepaid is when I had like sprint and stuff, which I don't even think is around anymore. Those motherfuckers, they'd always like sneak in these like charges. Oh, there's the kind of oldies kitty. They'd always sneak in these charges that I know for
Starting point is 00:02:38 effect, we're not in good faith, you know? It's like, I didn't do anything different. I'm not using my, and that's before you can even really use your mobile device as a secondary platform for whatever. You're like, oh yeah, like, we're charging you like $800 of this month because you're a goy slob, and we just wanted me if you pay you. It's like, no,
Starting point is 00:02:55 I'm not doing that. So I went with cricket because, uh, and it was, it was like, it was like, it was like, hood guys who turned me on to cricket. You're like, man, you're going to cricket, you pay $50, and that's all. And, um, there's a cricket. right by Howard and Paulina and yeah
Starting point is 00:03:12 which is like that that's that's that's Ghetto Evanston slash Rogers Park slash June Lake Jungle and I used to pay my I was just rejoining the world that's just like pay my bill in person
Starting point is 00:03:23 and um like when I'd walk in there like the employees and the customers like all of whom are black and like look at me like I was the police or something it's like no I'm the last white man with a cricket phone fuck you man like I got used to me and that became like a huge
Starting point is 00:03:38 Like if you're a male If you're not Like a childbearing age female And you're not the police And you're white You become like invisible to the black man After you realize it's not the police So
Starting point is 00:03:49 When I'm mad to get used to eat That's fairly true That's pretty sure Like done to me wrong Like the Shite town blacks Like they think I'm like this far out Like weird old white man But at the same time
Starting point is 00:04:03 They're like used to me So I'm like under their They probably think you're crazy They probably think you're crazy and black people are always scared of people who are crazy. Yeah, no, that's true. And they also, you know, because I openly fly my flag, they're like, okay, well, you know, that doesn't make me some kind of like badass or anything at all. And I don't know, old anyway, ain't nobody afraid of me. But they realize, all right, that dude, like, stands on business.
Starting point is 00:04:30 So it's probably not worth my while to give them a bad time. But also, like I said, I got at distance, I got, I got cracker rapport. with them people. I mean, that's how, that's how me in big Digan friends. I mean, he's a good dude anyway, but,
Starting point is 00:04:43 you know, um, they, like honestly the first dudes I met when I came back here because, uh, I mean, this is my hometown.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And, I mean, obviously, like, where I was normal medication, it wasn't, you know, I was in Evanston.
Starting point is 00:04:56 It was fairly nice in most parts, but I didn't, I, uh, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd been out of the,
Starting point is 00:05:02 out of, like, normal life for a decade because I was addicted and homeless, and I haven't always problems. But also, like, I had lived a home in, like, 25 years. I didn't, like, know anybody anymore. It's like the first guys I met were a big eating cornbread. And like I said, if they wouldn't let us in, you know, I, uh, I see them, um, at least once a week. And we'd be, like, freezing our asses. So finally, I'm like, let's, let's like go get coffee and snacks, you know?
Starting point is 00:05:34 So we just started, like, hang out, man, um, like, weirdest people think they did this. You know, the To jump on that, what I said about blacks Like being scared of crazy people They say that the reason Sunny Liston fell to Muhammad Ali so easy As he thought he was crazy And Liston was like a bonebreaker
Starting point is 00:05:55 The mob used him as a bonebreaker I mean, he was a street life Liston was very much a used guy You're like you pretty much every week He took the advantage of him And he came to a sad end I think he was probably murdered. You know, they claimed that Sonny
Starting point is 00:06:10 OD'd on heroin, and Sunny definitely had an alcohol problem, but he was terrified in needles. Like, even, like, vaccination needles. And his flight doctor said, he wouldn't even let me shoot him up with lytocaine. He'd, like, slap the, you could get that away from me. So there's no way to listen, which is like, I'm going to shoot up heroin. That didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:06:28 So, but, no, listen, had a, I remember ways I got to sympathy with the devil, but listen. Um, we also got to became, like, the man everybody loved to hate, which is really, and if you get treated that way, you kind of like lean into it, you know, because it's like, what else you're going to do?
Starting point is 00:06:43 And plus, probably 70% of the fight game is, at any kind of comment is psychological, you know, and people were afraid of listening. You know, Patterson wasn't the thug. Patterson,
Starting point is 00:07:02 he was kind of a, he was kind of a boring fighter. You know, he was not like a knockout artist, nor some shuck-in-jye flashy showboat but you know
Starting point is 00:07:14 Patterson was a modest guy and he was a student of the science of boxing you know so I think it ain't fair when people slam like that but when he when he fought listening he could tell he was afraid of listening and at that moment it was like okay it's over man you you know
Starting point is 00:07:29 that that was yeah yeah but No, I always found it to be a sad story, what became a list in and on. Well, no, it's a fascinating story because the mafia controlled the fight game, and then black-orinized crime, which does exist, I mean, took it over. And that's why no white pug, you had a heavyweight shot. And then suddenly when that monopoly's broken, boxing becomes white-dominated again.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And it wasn't just because of the East Block invasion. You know, it's because that's sort of like the natural breakdown. Yeah, the only the only white guys that they would let in for like a couple decades there were like Irish tomatoes. Yeah. And then there was a and then there were great white hoax who both refused to take dives and who had genuine Naga power. Like I was a huge Tommy Morrison fan, you know, like I told people. So, um, not just because, uh, not, you know, and, um, he didn't, he never got his dude. That dude had, like, the dude had Tyson, you know, Tyson asked left.
Starting point is 00:08:34 took. You know, he had one punch knockout power. And I mean, his chin was questionable when it wasn't. Like that, uh, when he got his bell rung by Ray Mercer, Ray Mercer was a terrifying fucking pugilist, man. And like, he was a
Starting point is 00:08:50 journeyman. He was never like, uh, in contention to be like an undisputed champion. But, I mean, that getting hit by Mercer was it getting hit by a truck? You know, so like Mercer rings his bell. Bamb. Morrison's out.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You can see Marshall look at the ref, like, you're going to stop this. The rap doesn't intervene. He says, okay. So he just, like, unloads on him with, like, three combos. And the ropes are holding him off. And then Morrison just, like, he was dead. You know, and that's the real. Like, oh, this white boy's got power, but, you know, he's a big white boy with power,
Starting point is 00:09:23 but he's got a glass chin. That wasn't really fair. But then, I remember when Morrison fought Lewis. I remember that because, like, I, uh, I double-time to home. Like, I remember that's when I was, I was like delivering pizzas. And, like, October 95, I think. When, when Tommy Morrison fought Linux Lewis, it's like a whole-ass home, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:50 because obviously then, I mean, it was no, there was not only not smartphones or any of the cell phones. You know, so I threw on HBO and you can tell Morrison was already sick. Like, he was, he was, like, gassing out. You know, Morrison always showed up, like in shape. He wasn't like a bodybuilder, but he was, he was a big man and his conditioning was always good.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It's like, why is Morrison all got his shape? Why is he gassing out? He was like losing his hair. You could tell something he was wrong. You know, and that was sad because he got unserrely blown out, but Lewis doesn't get his due either. He was kind of like the second coming of a Larry Holmes.
Starting point is 00:10:27 You know, and he, say what you want about Lewis. David Tua was a phenom. Remember the little Samoan guy? he was like 5 foot 9 and like 5 feet wide, but it was all muscle. You know, he, uh, that dude could bang. When he fought Ica Bayabuchi, who was this like savage freaking African heavyweight, the copy box, they broke the copybox records set by Ali Norton 3. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:51 He's like a couple of 250-pound men like throwing hands like middleweights. But, um, you know, so I'm like, oh, wow, like two is a force, man. And he was, he was blasting out everybody. Then he fought Lewis and Lewis just kept him on the end of that jab. But the way, Lewis's number was Klitschko. Clitchco was taking Lewis apart and the fight got stopped because of a cut. You know, Clitchco, like a lot of white pugs, you cut easy, comparatively. You know, so we're up stopped the fight based on cuts.
Starting point is 00:11:24 And then Lewis didn't want no part of Clitchco again. It could have been a rematch, like, no, he hurt him. but at the same time Lewis was getting on. Lewis was also a classy guy. You know, like he wasn't,
Starting point is 00:11:37 he was neither a thug or is he one of these ethnic goons who like takes on like a cockney shithead affectation. You know, like he, and he always, he'd always go to the,
Starting point is 00:11:51 he always approached the ring. Like he'd represent the UK, but like he'd always bring a Jamaican flag because he's like, I'm not going to pretend him an Englishman. You know, I always thought he was a classic. but yeah
Starting point is 00:12:02 the um that's uh that's one of the reasons you can tell when Trump had his marbles and I I was talking to my homie John Doe about this yesterday I I think Trump's genuinely demented like medically demented but I
Starting point is 00:12:17 back before that was the case that's why it's a joke when when some of these people who hate Trump say like oh he you know Trump was a you know he fail every business venture he ever undertook. It's like Trump got Tyson and Don
Starting point is 00:12:33 King to sign exclusively to defend Tyson's titles and at Trump properties in Atlantic City. That's freaking insane. You know, like he basically declared, he achieved a monopoly on the biggest athlete in the game then other than Michael Jordan probably. You know, uh, so I mean, however corny like the earth of the deal is, I mean, Trump could make deals like nobody else. And Don King was actually an intimidating guy. Like, people think of them as a goof because of his hair and he he'd had kind of like some some hype man he was a he was a bad guy he had tied for murder he beat a guy to death and he was uh he did muscle work for the Cincinnati syndicate you know see he was he was a he was mobbed up to I mean that's how he got
Starting point is 00:13:14 shit done you know but um I used to live right near he had he had an office in South Florida um right off I-95 I used to live right near yeah that's awesome you said he should have gone to hunt out. Yeah, me pulling up in my $500 car going, hey, Dom, let's go hang out. You could have gone to, like, rent one of those, like, you know, like Miami's full of fake rich guy. He used to like rent a super car.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Oh, yeah. He'd go out like rent to Miami by a supercar and pretend. I mean, you got the last name before you got pretended you were like some Cubano like drunk wood or something. You don't know who I am me? I'm P.M. P. and P. Tony's me. I don't be just kidding.
Starting point is 00:13:56 That'd be funny. shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Florida's a, Florida's a wild man. I wasn't to see. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the amount of the amount of money down there and the amount of new money that clashes with old money down there and like the auto choice store and stuff like that. I mean, it's just, it's all about. And then here was the thing that really used to get me when I was like at my 20s. All these 40 to 45 year old guys who were working like
Starting point is 00:14:33 minimum wage jobs waiting for their parents to die so that they could inherit like the condo on the beach. This is literally what this whole class of people down here was doing. With like gold chains and shit probably like no the what was quite on Florida too is it's I mean first of all it's literally like a jungle swamp
Starting point is 00:14:56 and you've got everybody there from this indigenous element of like literal swamp running hillbilly so we're like we're gonna go giging for frosty and then you got like retired Jewish mafiosi then you got these like savage Cubans from like the Muriel Boatlift
Starting point is 00:15:12 and then you got dude Hyalia is no joke man hialia is no joke oh yeah yeah yeah and then you got this population of crazy Haitians then you got just like southern hood blacks and then you got, yeah, I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's like some alien versus predator shit.
Starting point is 00:15:31 They're like some cosmic zoo shit or something. I mean, that comes back. There was, there was 100,000 people living under I-95 for like two years in the 1980s. All Cubans, all released from prisons, all really, I mean, you see at the beginning of Scarface of Pacino Scarface. That really happened. Yeah. No, the Well, also, too, you I'm fascinated at the Indian wars in part
Starting point is 00:16:01 Just, I mean, because of my heritage American But also that's one of my dad's areas of expertise You know, the black Seminoles, they weren't just black guys They were like runaway slaves They were white outlaws who just like became savages They were, you know, plains Indians Who'd run away because they got put out of their tribe or whatever This was just like a post-apocalyptic war band
Starting point is 00:16:25 you know i mean that that that's the kind of shit that that happened our buddy bird our buddy bird from the timeline earth episode who was on the election i stream with us he's gone full he's gone full native he lives he lives on a res in uh in in in florida with his uh with his squaw i didn't know no bird's a good dude man he's really funny um i i i'd like to collab with them we we see the cross past kind of accidentally but i always uh i always really enjoy talking you know it I'll hook you guys up. Yeah, the, yeah, every time I see. Yeah, every time I see him, I see him like once a year.
Starting point is 00:17:08 He's a little more native every time I see him. No, yeah, that doesn't surprise me. And so, I mean, I don't know the dude well with it. Yeah, no, he's, he's a good dude. And, uh, and yeah, that, that election I stream was legendary. I think everybody was a little bit drunk and it helped, but, uh, You have styles make fights, personalities make life dreams. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So, um, let's get some, yeah, God, I was going to say. Yeah, was Jackson your favorite president? Well, yeah, of course. Jackson is the greatest of all time. It goes out saying. Although I do, uh, you know, I, there's a, there's a counterpart to Ed off Hitler and Jackson. And in terms of what he, it's an imperfect analogy, but I don't mean in terms of their political values or anything. I mean what they represent in terms of the historiographical process.
Starting point is 00:18:03 And, you know, I think, too, if you're a vanguardist type, who's suspicious of the regime, I mean, Jackson, not Jefferson, should be sort of your model. I mean, plus he was a genuine warrior son of Ulster. You know, he's got an insane background. You know, he, uh, his, uh, raised by a widowed mother. They were captured by the, the British. And, um, this particularly brutal British officer, uh, scar his face with a saver. You know, and that, uh, by the time he was 14 years old, you know, he was, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:48 the cable of a bearing arms and what have you. And, um, he's most known. obviously for the battle in New Orleans which really I mean the dive was already cast you know it's just that the the landing element didn't hadn't gotten word yet from
Starting point is 00:19:08 the crown but uh I mean really what Jackson uh Jackson led um the a mixture of professional soldiers and irregular volunteers against the
Starting point is 00:19:23 the red in the Creek War, which was a truly savage race war. And I mean, that kind of the fast cap, which was happening simultaneously to the War of 1812, you know, just, just a legendary, almost liminal personage. But what I was going to say was that I, otherwise, I tend to fall, I mean, Hamilton was the greatest of the founding fathers, in my opinion, even though he was never president, the obvious week.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And, uh, yaki's account of Hamilton that, uh, you know, and, uh, a Hamilton believed in the truly sovereign executive. Hamilton believed the president in the United States
Starting point is 00:20:07 should be a Bismarckian kind of figure. But some people like to claim, like, he was, he was, uh, basically a Tory wearing a, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:15 a Republican cloak that, no, that's not the right would understand. It wasn't some royalist. He was, he believed in the sovereign executive. And he was opposed to the written constitution also, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:30 because that kind of formalism deteriorates political discourse into arguments over legalism and semantics. And, you know, that, that, that kind of reasoning went over the door to Barber v. Madison.
Starting point is 00:20:48 But no, Jackson, Jackson is the greatest whole type president, hands down. You know, there's a little community about, I would say, it's officially a city. It's probably like 45 minutes south of me. And it's called Andrew Jackson. It's right on the Talapusa River.
Starting point is 00:21:10 That's awesome. Very cool. Old Hickory Road. Yeah. Yeah, that's beautiful here. Yeah, this is Creek. This is Creek country right here. well yeah and also of course
Starting point is 00:21:24 Jackson's adopted son Lincoln was a was a creek Jackson came upon the men had laid to waste this entire creek settlement you know they they slaughtered everybody because that
Starting point is 00:21:44 that was it was race war the red sticks to Coomsa's red sticks that that that was their objective. They said, we're going to kill every white man, woman, and child within, you know, our domain, which was essentially the eastern seaboard. So it was reciprocated, and Jackson, he happened upon a dead squad who was, had a crying baby in her arms.
Starting point is 00:22:15 So Jackson rescued the baby, and he had his adjutant. He wrote to his wife and he said, you know, there's a. healthy baby boy who's you know who's working out because of us and he's like I'm sending him home you know we're going to raise him
Starting point is 00:22:34 and that was that was Lincolnoya and um Lenkoia died young somewhat tragically I mean he would have dulled he was in his 20s but um
Starting point is 00:22:46 Jackson raised Lincoln as his own son and um he's been a dad from the historical record. I mean, part of that's because regime apparatchiks
Starting point is 00:22:58 and academia that doesn't play into their idiot's caricature of American history. But also just, you know, he's, um, there's nothing they can mine out of, uh,
Starting point is 00:23:10 the man's existence for ideological gain. And that, that's really, um, obscene. But, uh, you know, Jackson, uh,
Starting point is 00:23:21 he embodied, uh, true, you know, dissenter morality. You know, that's how we do it. So there's a lot of reasons why I ever hear him. It's kind of, like, you know, I, in every,
Starting point is 00:23:44 Hitler always had that, that famous painting of Frederick II, who was Hitler's hero. You know, it was in every opposite. he had and if I was even in the furor bunker you know I my uh my Frederick the second is Andrew Jackson if it makes any sense you know um
Starting point is 00:24:05 yeah I live Pete Hudders said here horse shoe bend was a wild battle yeah I'm like 30 minutes it's like 30 minutes to you south of me whenever I go to Auburn I have to I swear I pass through it and everything yeah it's uh no it's awesome when I when I at long last
Starting point is 00:24:20 when I come visit you and Mrs. Canones um we'll take a tour of these sites you know um yeah yeah that'll be that'll be great um has it been unbearably hot down there speaking of your little kill oh dude i haven't loved i'm not leaving the house if i don't have to yeah like it finally the past few days it's been like a hundred degrees literally it's breaking a bit now and this morning it rained but yeah it's awful man i think jackson said it was like 105 yesterday and i'm like dude i was in texas i was in texas two weekends ago don't tell me about being hot, man.
Starting point is 00:24:55 No, like I told you, I think last stream we did like three years back at Ameren, I mean, it gets hot here, but not like that. Like, that he was killing me, man. Like, I, we took refuge in in, uh,
Starting point is 00:25:10 in, uh, the Parthenon mockup they got. Which is, as you got a cool. I like that kind of kitsy shit. You know, like it was, it was fun to hang out there. And, uh, but, uh, the big selling put was the AC. Like, we staggered in there, like, sweating, like pigs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:26 The south is a, the white man is not made for the, they're like Vietnam jungle water, man. You know, like you start, what's fascinating is that, it's a,
Starting point is 00:25:37 it's a, the, the mechanism of it is really gross. But, you know, jungle rot, who, um,
Starting point is 00:25:45 was a, sort of major casualties in Nam. You know, and, uh, if you're on patrol and you're, you're, you're,
Starting point is 00:25:52 you're walking through rice paddies, like literally immersed in water for hours on end, that causes these sores and the deterioration of the skin. The Vietnamese developed an immunity to jungle rot. So that's why, like, not only these Vietnamese people, you know, they could work on the rice paddy, you know, just like roll up their pants legs and, like, stand there before to not endure the condition, But the Viet Cong, like, it was no problem for them. Like, it, it, uh, it just goes to show you what climate's, uh, really, um, become, um, a forest multiplier for the defending element.
Starting point is 00:26:37 You know, I mean, I mean, Dune gets into that too, but it's not just a trope. It's a real thing. And if you're, uh, if you're a white man, you're not, you're not cut out for, uh, running through the jungle, you know, but, uh, but in the Arctic, I'm good. like I take some pride in that. Like, going around Chicago, it's like really, really,
Starting point is 00:26:54 really cold. But even, and because I got on dry, but I'm not going to change that soon. Yeah. I, uh, thermal underwear is a godsend,
Starting point is 00:27:04 especially now, because it's this material. It's almost like Gortets. You put on like, a, you know, a thermal underlayer, like shirt and pants.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Um, and then, uh, I always put like a hoodie over that. And then, like, a battle jacket and, and like a proper,
Starting point is 00:27:20 like, leather jacket. It's actually really warm if you layer it up properly. And, uh, but that's layers are what keeps out the windshield, you know? And, um, so I'm like, good.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I'll be like, ditty bopping around and I'll see like all these black dudes like this. I'm like, yeah, fucker, yeah. Not really. They'd be saying the same thing to me and create it off.
Starting point is 00:27:43 So what, when I lived in, when I lived in Atlanta and I, I used to have to do some work outside, um, during the winter. I had this off of Amazon, I bought this vest that was heated. Like it had a heating element in it and everything.
Starting point is 00:27:57 That was, that, that just kept you, you know. Well, honestly, when it's too, and then it gets fucking cold, you know. Oh, no, I know. When it gets too cold for a battle jacket, I got a, I got an M65 jacket, which, uh, I maintain is, that's the best winter coat ever meet, man.
Starting point is 00:28:17 You know, and, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the U.S. Army did some things right, especially in terms of gear. And, yeah, that M-65 jacket, man,
Starting point is 00:28:28 um, with the, and the liner is what makes it. It's got this liner that, like, no amount of chill seems to be able to penetrate. So,
Starting point is 00:28:37 yeah, I, uh, I'm a master keeping out the cold. I want to see some show and tell stuff. I got a, I got a cross-draw holster for my, um,
Starting point is 00:28:48 buck 120. which is kind of nice. And I strapped it on. It's perfect. You can strap it on for right or lefty. I obviously wasn't like, I wasn't like ditty bopping around with it on because I'd be like psycho stuff. Unless I thought I was in danger.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Although it is why I got it in case like I do feel like I'm under threat. But I, I strapped out of some jeans and just like a long sleep t-shirt. And like when I covered it up, like you couldn't see it up and it doesn't leave a profile. It doesn't interfere with your movement. But yeah, I've been working at it because it is like a little,
Starting point is 00:29:20 bit stiff, but yeah, like, you want to snap it, and bam, you're good, you know. And obviously, you wear it that way, so you can deploy it just like, wow. Yeah. But no, I came, uh, I got to give them props because, uh, you order any buck blade, including this 120, it arise just like savagely sharp. Like, you don't need to throw any of that knife wax on it. You don't need to sharpen it. It is like, viciously.
Starting point is 00:29:50 sharp. But they just send you like a dinky little holster, you know, so I'm like, okay, I got to remedy this anyway, but also I needed something I could, you know, cross draw. So yeah, that, um, I was stowed about that. It only costs about 60 bucks. Um, that's old. So I'm, I'm happy with, man. That's my showing.
Starting point is 00:30:13 So, oh, and I got a, I got a, I got a shadow box for my, uh, war merit cross. I don't know. I don't know if I showed you this yet. Let me see if I can. This is an aristro. It's an it's an aristow issued between 1941 and 1945 to a Vermeacht officer. That's pretty awesome. Or not an officer.
Starting point is 00:30:45 It would have been someone in the field most likely. Yeah, yeah. It still works. runs, it's still in great condition. I just needed to get in, I just need, I wanted like a field, a field strap for it. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Yeah, you, one of the guys, no, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, one of the guys, I can't honestly, I'm not one of the guys sent me this for my birthday along with some, like, really cool, out of swag, but this has become like daily carry. Like the burden blade, um, I'll tell you, they have been a burden blade in this, but, uh,
Starting point is 00:31:18 this is a really great little, knife and I like what they call tactical folders are great but I got a I got a sauce spot for automatic knives you know so this is
Starting point is 00:31:33 this is got my daily carry although a lot of time too if I got it it's been too hot obviously for a vest but it might battle jagged at my best I mean as you know like I'll also carry a stiletto like in my left pocket um yeah yeah so I uh
Starting point is 00:31:49 And you should always have a good knife on you anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've learned over the years. If you, the day I decide I'm not going to leave the house with a knife is a day that I need it. So I always have,
Starting point is 00:32:04 I always have one. Yeah, man. Yeah. Big time. And, you know, like I said.
Starting point is 00:32:10 And they're not for fighting. Like some people think, you know. No. Um, there's like, there's like no such thing as like knife fighting. Like I,
Starting point is 00:32:19 the fact matter is I mean like don't mean wrong like I got I'm a night guy I'm a night guy I didn't get that bump I didn't get that buck 120 for deep boning gear you know but I mean the fact of the matter is uh you want to draw that bitch as fast as possible and slash or stick somebody with it you're not going to be like ungod I'm like hell fight you know or uh or a switchblade like basically in a bind uh you know if you're being attacked or about to be attacked. You know, you basically deploy it and you like shank whoever was
Starting point is 00:32:55 trying to hurt you like you know, they're like doing dirty as you can. You know, and the wonderful thing about that is even if he's overpowering you and even if anger, adrenaline, or the crazy
Starting point is 00:33:14 and he doesn't realize he's getting stuck, when he leaks enough, he's going to gas out. You know, so yeah, but, no, and I, uh, I do, uh, I will, I will carry something a little bit more, um, severe, like when I'm on the road, especially on the Greyhound. Just because you don't, you never know what's going to happen. So, uh, when I, uh, yeah, that's one of the reason they got up to buck 120 because I can, like, take a little, I can take, I can take, I can take, I can take a little nap on the hound and like, you know, have this safely stashed and out of sight. And even if you got a, even if you're passing through a constitutional carry state
Starting point is 00:34:00 or even if you got a permit for a state you pass through, if you're apparently permanent states, if you're packing a gun on a greyhound, you can get in deep shit. They don't like that. And it's the little jam you up for it too. Like some idiot, it's not even on the Amtrak.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Like there's some idiot. Like, thankfully he didn't hurt anybody or threaten anybody, but he's all these guys who couldn't know his liquor. I saw this on one of them YouTube, like police video channels. Dude's like drunk and he's like, yeah, he's not like a fool and like bothering some woman.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And then one of the porter's like, what, you know, cool off, take it down a notch. Dude, like, stands up and he's stumbling around and then like, he's like, he falls out of his pocket. And then they're like, like, part of's like, okay, well, fuck you. I'm like calling the cops because you can't have that here. And it wouldn't even have been an issue.
Starting point is 00:34:48 If he, you know, there's no excuse for getting drunk when you're strapped. anyway, but it's they just, it's not worth it. Like if you got to, if you got to travel your peace, I mean, obviously secure it, you know, on the train or whatever, but don't, don't decide you're going to be,
Starting point is 00:35:03 don't decide to be Billy badass and just like shove it, you know, down your down your waistband and then on top of it, get drunk and let's something like that happened. But point is that guy caught felony charges, you know, um, yeah, you got to be good.
Starting point is 00:35:18 So, um, Katachan says Thomas is the model of multiculturalism success. He's into knives and male fragrances like a Latin dude. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, I wouldn't run it from the air.
Starting point is 00:35:35 I mean, in my defense, there's a Dolce and Gabana sense I like, and that's like Guilohist and Latino as fuck to like that. But my other fragrances are pretty much like white boy fragrances. Well, yeah, I wouldn't run it from dance I don't know, man I wish I'd get away with the like Latin dudes dressed better than anybody man
Starting point is 00:35:55 I wish I could pull up but they can you know, um so yeah, that that's awesome that's the comment that a day. I mean, you can get away not if you have like black skin but if you have darker if you have like, if you have a 10
Starting point is 00:36:11 complexion, you can pretty much wear any color Oh, yeah. No, 100%. Well, also, too, you know, like, like, like, like, um, like Latin dudes just pull it off, you know? I mean, I can pull off some things they can't, you know, I can, like, show up her in, like, cowboy boots and like a snakes and jacket. I just sound like Spanish or Italian to be dead. He looked like a fucking idiotic.
Starting point is 00:36:34 You know, so I'm trying to cross both ways, but. Well, you know what a Mexican tuxedo is, right? What's it? Jeans, cowboy boots, a jean jacket, and a bowler. Oh, yeah. I've been talking about some Tejano guy, yeah, that's different. You know, but it's... But I'm talking about some like Italian dude or something like...
Starting point is 00:36:53 Or something like... Oh, yeah. The, uh... Yeah, the Southwest is its own thing. Yeah, yeah. No, I got them cobra skin boots. I got, um... The Mexicans work leather really well.
Starting point is 00:37:09 And exotic leather, too. You can literally... You can literally get exotic leather products for, like, a third of the cost you would if you went into some leather shop in like Chicago or L.A. However, the, I got like a pilgrimage to Los Angeles anyway in part. I mean, I love L.A. And a lot of my family's buried out there. But there's also the dude who made Lemmy Kilmeister's boots.
Starting point is 00:37:37 This is this guy who runs a shop called Riff Raff Leather in Hollywood. And that dude does pretty much exclusively custom stuff. but for what he can do it's pretty reasonable you know and uh I got a I want to get some custom boots made by that dude man um you know obviously the
Starting point is 00:37:56 you know that's uh that's uh a luxury item you only splash out on when you're in the wealth but I but no in any event um if you want some snakes skin boots or or gator skin uh you want to met Mexican leather workers do a great job
Starting point is 00:38:15 although have you seen them high top sneakers I got that are Gator's skin I don't wear them a lot because yeah okay like I got those there's this place in Indonesia that ships all those out and it takes forever to get here even today it'll take like a month for your order
Starting point is 00:38:31 to arrive but uh those guys do awesome stuff because they're and you got you gotta you gotta you gotta order them like two sizes bigger than you order narrowly because it's like Asian sizing and like Asian's got tiny feet but uh no I You know, I have now, I've been blessed to have, like, I have a custom suit cut for me.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I have custom shirts cut for me. I have a custom blazer cut for me. Now I want custom shoes. I want custom shoes. Yeah. Yeah. No, you, I mean, I won't be seen with uncool or badly dressed people. But, no, you always dress sharp, man.
Starting point is 00:39:12 So does, so does Curtis. You encourage the best dressed dudes on deck I don't know Spader Spader broke out Yeah yeah Some Hugo boss last At the past couple of conferences
Starting point is 00:39:25 No Spader always looked sharp too Yeah Yeah It's uh Well when you're like six foot When you're six foot seven And that's slender You can pull some stuff off
Starting point is 00:39:34 As long as it fits You know Yeah yeah Yeah Now he's he's got the He looks like a Hugo boss guy anyway Like dude looks like dude looks like a serving officer on the bus on the bus on the house house on the house on
Starting point is 00:39:47 I uh yeah um the uh the uh no he got it got a there's a mexican protestant preacher in my area who walks around in bright red bright red and blue cowboy get up literally with a bible in hand guy walks around town all day every day like that guy that guy is awesome yeah that guy's got stories. Yeah. The, I've also,
Starting point is 00:40:21 uh, I've become partial to snake skin. I think it's cool, but also, uh, it just really pops. And, uh, oh,
Starting point is 00:40:30 I got, uh, those, uh, I got, there's stash in my closet, but, um,
Starting point is 00:40:39 there's these new balance sneakers. You know, like new balance. They make really quality. You just, shoes, but they've got in, they, they very suddenly got into, like, trying to catch the sneakerhead market, you know, and, uh, they just dropped, uh, they just dropped these new balanced, uh, they're like halfway with sneakers and loafers and they got snakes get on them.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I like, I got to get those, man. So, uh, I got them. I think I'm going to rock them at the party, um, because, uh, it's a, hopefully to cool off, but it's probably still going to be, like, it's probably still going to be, like, it's probably it's still going to be like 78 degrees or something. So, right. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be a day for boost. But yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I think I see the party. I think I see the new balance. I think I see the new balance you're talking about. Yeah, they're pretty slick, man. Like, I try to mind just to make sure because I'm usually, I usually were Fulas as I'm old. And like I were Fulas in high school. I also just like the way they fit better than Nike's.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And they, if you walk a lot, like I do, they're just good for that. You know, they don't wear out that fast, like some brands do. But so every brand fits a little different. So like when I got it, I try them on, I'm like, those look fucking sick. But, yeah, I like, um, at OGC, uh, Virginia, I, uh, I got them, uh, like blue suede boots with, like, the Elvis American Eagle on them. The problem is it's hard to, like, tear those with stuff. Like, they look pretty good if you're, uh, if you're wearing a, uh, if you're wearing a, jeans and like a buttonedown shirt, but a blue pinstripped too.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Blue pen stripes too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, there you go. But, um, now I'm a, I'm a sucker for clothing stuff. But yeah, the, uh, I, um, no, that, but there's, like I said, uh, there's been a, every couple of days, I'm getting an IRSVP or two for the party. And one of the fellas said his mom wants to come. And I'm like, yeah, she can come, man.
Starting point is 00:42:54 He's like, okay, he's like, she wasn't sure it'd be okay for like a 60-year-old lady to come. I'm like, well, man, I'm old too, man, yeah. So you want to bring your mom? You can bring your mom. So, yeah, it should be an interesting mix of people, man. I'm looking forward to. Big Dane, cornbread are you going to be able to make it? I told Big Dina's wife, like I said, I'll remind them.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And they said, yeah, they said if they can make it, they'll come. Cornbread, I love cornbread, he's a little bit too hood for that. Is he? I made some time. How about, how about your pops? Is your pops going to be able to make it? I'm going to see. I'm going to see, possibly.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Yeah, it'll be, it'll be real horror show, man. And, um, And, um, that's funny. You said it'll be a real horror show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, like the clobber course. That's not,
Starting point is 00:43:56 not, uh, not, uh, not the horror course says. But, uh, yeah, and I, uh, I, I, uh, I, uh, I, uh, I'm going to, uh, yeah, I'm gonna have to do, I consider to remind myself, uh, the,
Starting point is 00:44:15 uh, stock bushmills and libations for the room because that'd be that'd be a disaster if in the wee hours we run out of bushmills or something so uh i figure uh i figure everybody i figure everybody everybody can drink pbr or cores and if they and if they say they don't because like they drink beer's i'll be like you're faggot you gotta go you know like uh that'll probably that means we're kicking carl out darn I sent out of gratitude for all his
Starting point is 00:44:55 waivers he put into getting a book edited and published I sent him a bushmills gift basket and he seemed to really like it and I can tell by his text that he was like drinking it because he got progressively like sillier
Starting point is 00:45:07 and I sent him like a fire basket and it had some like hand cheddar cheese and these crackers it had like Toblerone chocolates it had a bunch of other stuff and you had a bottle of bush mills and like a couple of shock glasses
Starting point is 00:45:29 you know like I said man I people are hard to shop for I mean it's like with the fellow is it's like okay the guys are all smart and they like getting good books but sometimes want to mix it up especially if I'm sending something to a married guy he's got a wife too but um I uh you know it's like okay I always like getting bushmills
Starting point is 00:45:49 and tasty snacks, you know, and cigars. But Carl's not a big cigar guy. I told you, I, I, I've been taking the Pepsi challenge with other kinds of cigars. I find it bennies, but Diamond Crown is still the king. And I've been, I've been, the Maduro five, which are like the shorties. They don't have them with the bennies by my house, but they got the longer ones. a few times a week I've been
Starting point is 00:46:21 I've been waking up in the pre-dron hours I'm gonna do that anyway and then I'll have a I'll have some Fox and Sun's coffee and spark a dot micron cigar and they're just exquisite buddy of mine
Starting point is 00:46:34 yeah I'll have to know buddy of my when I was in Texas is like sent me home with a bunch of cigars that's awesome yeah I had to order I had to get another freaking humidor because my one humidore is already full
Starting point is 00:46:49 to know our our fearless leader gifted me a humidor and I'm going to point into good use man um and uh but i only have a grand reserve um what else we got here
Starting point is 00:47:03 this one I don't know what this one is but this is definitely Maduro and this would be um yeah probably a man no I like them shorties man but yeah I I become very brand loyal as you may have noticed and yeah I
Starting point is 00:47:18 Bush Mills and a diamond crown is the choice of kings and conquerors. But yeah, I never I never really have more than five sticks at a time. So like little humidor, a dear friend and leader gave me is perfect. And nowadays they're them.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I still have some little Sigurio Cubans I brought back from El Salvador in my in my Humidor over there. That's awesome. Yeah, I like Cigarillo sometimes, um, especially, uh,
Starting point is 00:47:56 in the fall. But, uh, yeah, I, uh, I, um, I, I, um, I, I, um,
Starting point is 00:48:05 I, I, um, I, well, these days, too, like, they, those moisture packs, that's what I use in my little humidor. Yeah, that's what I was. Um, those work really, really well. Like, it don't seem like they would.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You know, but people advise me, no, these work great. And years back, they didn't have those, you know, and these days you don't even need to season your humidor like you did before. You just pop with a little humidor, like, tabled off humidor. Actually, you just pop one of the... This is a great humidor. No kidding.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. It's kept everything between 72 and 76 for, I mean, for years. It's like throw a moisture pack in there and then... Yeah, yeah. You'll let's it. I've never seen a jar like that. That's great.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I mean, I've seen them at the cigar shop. No, that's freaking awesome, man. You just pop like a moisture pack in there and then you're going to go. I'll have to get one of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Yeah. They're like literally, they're less than $20 on Amazon and they work. Awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, I'll have to look into that. Especially on the road,
Starting point is 00:49:17 you can pack that easily too. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. I've got a I got one cigar left it's not it's not a diamond crown it's something else but I yeah
Starting point is 00:49:30 now that's in my mind when we're done here I'm gonna record with Adam our dear friend Adam oh cool on the subject to George Lincoln Rockwell and the old resistance generally which is very timely considering the main it's going on but after that
Starting point is 00:49:47 I and then obviously after that I'm going to ditty bump over to the landmark but I think I might have to go get more diamond crones. Brutus said, congrats on the Nuremberg book, Thomas, just finished it on yesterday on Kindle. He said, I like acid cigars, sue me. He also said, my grandpa collected humidors. I inherited several great ones.
Starting point is 00:50:15 That's really cool. That is cool, man. And I would, I'm sure that wood smells really good too after having stored a refined cigars for years and years. Like I said, there's no better
Starting point is 00:50:32 I'm kind of sensitive to olfactory stimulus. That's why I like stuff that smells good and people and things that stink really offend me. But about the best smelling place on earth is the Binnie's humidore. Like if you weren't in the Midwest, done about Beniz. Beniz is this
Starting point is 00:50:53 Chicago land, a liquor super store. It's like the Costco of liquor. But they've also got things like they got like entire aisles of a cocktail accoutrements like stuffed olives. You know, like olives stuffed with everything
Starting point is 00:51:09 from prosciutto to blue cheese to anchovies. All that are like pickled things. You can put in your martinis. And they got they got this wonderful humidor and as you approach it you know you can smell it and it smells so good um that's awesome yeah the um i like going into the old i like going into the old tobacco shops that have um
Starting point is 00:51:35 various pipe tobaccos too yeah pipe smell really good um i uh i never got into pipe smoking but i've never properly tried it i guess you know uh but i can't really see myself smoking a pipe This is a bit of this is This is actually really It's a real nice one Yeah No that's that suits you too Like I can see like you
Starting point is 00:52:02 It's throwing a pipe suits you Yeah But no pipe tobacco smells great man It doesn't mean it's not like a comeback It's like obviously because I'm like a tobacco guy There's a couple tobacco shops I frequent Both uh You know out up here on the North Shore
Starting point is 00:52:21 And downtown and just seemed to be stocking more pipe tobacco and the dude at the smoke shop by Leschettes it's not a proper smoke shop it's kind of like a quasi smoke shop slash like convenience store but that's right I got that torch letter that's modeled on a German louvre there
Starting point is 00:52:42 so they got some cool novelies and stuff but the the Arab guys who run at a like I bullshit with them I go to Leschets and stuff stuff. And I asked him because I noticed that he put some like pipe tobacco out there. And he's like, yeah, he's like more and more people's are buying it. And I noticed that like more youngsters seem to be going for it, which is cool.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Because I mean, I got a lot of love for the young generation for all kinds of reasons. But one of the things are going to remedy is they're going to abolish this like the boomer faggotte anti-tobacco regime that's going to weight, among many other things. Yeah, it's, uh, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, it's just, it's, with it tell us, it's, it's incredibly bizarre, too. This, this idea that you will instantly die if you smoke tobacco and beyond it, it's evil, but it's a really, really, really, really weird fetish that, um, boogeys have. You know, um, um, um, um,
Starting point is 00:53:52 yeah, I don't know. But yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's over with. And thank God for that. Yeah. What's also, too, I'm telling you, there's a reason why, um, there's a reason why so many writers smoke and, uh, I mean, first of all, if you, especially if you smoke a cigar or empty stomach with good coffee, it totally weeks you up. But, um, tobacco and, and empties your bowels. It's a stinulent. It's an appetite suppressant. It's got all kinds of benefits. And plus it's just enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Like, why you hear this lesson last because the because the shit fuck, bagate regime is ending. But it appears to be like, you know, I would advise on how to put smoking. I'm like, why would I want to do that? Yeah. And that's going to be like I, I, it does not compute. It's like, you don't understand I smoke because it's enjoyable. Like the fuck's wrong with you. I like that Tucker and his brother are like openly smoking on his show and like smoking like Lucky Strikes and no filter. Yeah. Like,
Starting point is 00:55:03 luckies are great, uh, luckies are great cigarettes. I, when I, when I, uh, when I was at Grand Rapids the other week,
Starting point is 00:55:12 uh, I got a couple packs of the shorts, you know, the unfiltered because they're hard to find here. And when you do, they're expensive because not many people buy them. But even lucky filters. the Reds, they're really good, man.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Marlboro are my brand, but if they don't have 72s, or if Lucky's are on sale, because a lot of time, uh, a lot of time Lucky's, you buy two packs,
Starting point is 00:55:38 you get like two bucks off. They're really good. Um, you know, but, uh, robert reds are king. And I like, I like the shorties because they're like short and strong,
Starting point is 00:55:48 you know, but, uh, do not buy Mexican cigars. that's my advice. That's from Brutus. Hey, Mike Ferris from coffee and a mic's in here. What's up, Mikey?
Starting point is 00:56:04 How you doing? I wasn't like about to go buy some Mexican cigars, believe it or not. Yeah, I have these. I got these in El Salvador. And I still have a bunch. I still have a bunch of these left. They're, um, Monty Cristo little
Starting point is 00:56:30 like Cigrios. Oh, awesome. Yeah, bring any, any kind of smokes you can spare that you want to, like, don't hesitate to bring sort of the party, man, you know? You can smoke. Yeah, you can smoke up on the deck. You can smoke on the deck up there?
Starting point is 00:56:45 I don't know. I've never stayed there before. Oh, are you in at the bar? At the bar. Yeah. No, technically, yeah, everybody does, even though technically, like, you're not supposed to. Like, they're not, just, like, be discreet about it.
Starting point is 00:56:58 they're not going to throw you out. You know, yeah, everybody I've, every time I've been there, I've smoked in the deck and always ever said anything. There was only one, there was one time, there was like this mob of chicks who were like, you know, getting kind of loud and happy. And one of the waiters asked them to just like take it
Starting point is 00:57:21 towards the, you know, the ledge, you know. Dean Mack asked, he asked this question in comments a while ago under one of my one of my posts you had said in the continental philosophy series the double entry bookkeeping separated the profits from their loci and created catastrophic tension between the city and the country can you do we have time for you to expand on that right now i mean reading what spangler said on the subject matter it was more that it's not so much that in it of itself was a source of intractable tension It's that it created a structural enmity. And it created a, it gave rise to an entrepreneurial class that dealt exclusively in money, which had been the exception. And then this became the rule in the big city.
Starting point is 00:58:20 And obviously, if you were a farmer, you know, you'd have to go to market to make any money. and when the barter system broke down in favor of bearer paper and its equivalent, this caused all kinds of problems.
