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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
you know,
um,
they,
like honestly the first dudes I met
when I came back here because,
uh,
I mean,
this is my hometown.
And,
I mean,
obviously,
like,
where I was normal medication,
it wasn't,
you know,
I was in Evanston.
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,
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
the crown
but uh I mean really
what Jackson
uh Jackson led
um
the
a mixture of professional soldiers and irregular
volunteers against the
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
the man's existence for
ideological gain.
And that, that's really, um,
obscene.
But, uh,
you know,
Jackson,
uh,
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
it's a,
the,
the mechanism of it is really gross.
But,
you know,
jungle rot,
who,
um,
was a,
sort of major casualties in Nam.
You know,
and,
uh,
if you're on patrol and you're,
you're,
you're,
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.
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,
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,
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.
Um,
and then,
uh,
I always put like a hoodie over that.
And then,
like,
a battle jacket and,
and like a proper,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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,
I always have one.
Yeah,
man.
Yeah.
Big time.
And,
you know,
like I said.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
uh,
I've become partial to snake skin.
I think it's cool,
but also,
uh,
it just really pops.
And, uh,
oh,
I got,
uh,
those,
uh,
I got,
there's stash in my closet,
but,
um,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
in the fall.
But, uh,
yeah,
I, uh,
I, um,
I,
I, um,
I, I, um,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
luckies are great,
uh,
luckies are great cigarettes.
I,
when I,
when I,
uh,
when I was at Grand Rapids the other week,
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.
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,
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,
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
And obviously, the order of the day was, you know, to short whatever you could relative to whatever fungible instrument you were using.
You know, so in times that shortage, a commodity shortage, a farmer could reap a windfall,
but more often than not, you know, the person holding the most bearer paper or species,
you know, could seek out the benefit of his bargain from any number of other sources,
