Shuddup and scribble Good morning. I was texting with someone yesterday and they said something to me like, I'm sure this is your work phone. I was like, Nope I'm sure this is your work phone. I was like, no, I don't have a work phone. There's only one phone. I mean, other than the fact that this phone has to stay in here and take phone calls. That's the second phone. But I was thinking about people who compartmentalize their lives and I was telling the guy I was texting with I was like, man, I don't compartmentalize my life. It's just one.

It's just one life. It's just one, it's just one life. It's just one life. I mean, there's different facets, but there's no compartmentalizing. You know, some people have to do that, you know, if you're for whatever reason, it's never worked for me. It's never worked for me. It's never worked for me. It's why certain ideas like taking a vacation just don't seem to make sense to me because that's like at its I guess at its foundation. It's like your life has been compartment. I guess depends on how you define vacation. But then your life would be compartmentalized.

And just everywhere I go, it's just my life. Just is. It just is. It just is. Yeah. Merry Christmas from Eastern Oregon. I like the way you say Eastern Oregon. Merry Christmas to all you guys, too. This is crazy. Christmas morning. It's funny how that feeling that I had when I was a kid on Christmas morning is so different than the feeling I have now. Before I was just so excited about what I was going to get, how it was going to affect me, and and now it's like has nothing to do with me

It's cool. It's better this way Pull boy, someone my girlfriend got me one of those rings you put around your testicles for increased pleasure in the bedroom. It's awesome. Oh It's called a cac ring. I Had a alcoholic eggnog that has been open for two years and it tastes good. Isn't eggnog, isn't there milk in there? Doesn't that? I don't know if you can keep eggnog for two years. Good morning.

Good morning, mom. Merry Christmas. It was my mom's birthday yesterday. We went out to dinner. It was cool. Wow. Where'd you go? Where do you think we went? I'll give you one guess. Merry Christmas. It was my mom's birthday yesterday. We went out to dinner. It was cool. Wow. Where'd you go?

Where do you think we went? I'll give you one guess. Cafe Cruz. Yeah. Yeah. Not only is it proximate to your house, which is super, super convenient, but it's like the only good restaurant in the county.

Yeah. And we got, what's that room called that's like an outdoor indoor room? Oh, they stuck you outside and sold it up like it was good. No, no, it was good. It's that it's the it's the good room. They have that, you know, that room off to the side. I like that room. It's got you come into the into the entrance to the left as you walk in the door.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I like that room because it's like you're outside but it's not cold. Like it's outside. You know what they said yesterday? They either I think they told my mom or Haley this that they were going to serve 400 people last night. It's pretty cool. Yeah, we got in and out of there before the crowd got crazy. We started like at four or four thirty. I'd like to go there someday with you and sit at the counter overlooking the kitchen. Oh yeah, yeah, you know I've never done that.

It's really cool. I mean the chefs are like, hi, you know, they're dying for someone to talk to other than the dude next to them, you know? Yeah, yeah. And like scallop slides off the plate and they give it to you, you know. My mom says the garden room. The garden room. Yeah. Happy birthday, Rosemary. Maybe we could take her out again when I get there. Yeah, let's do it. It's fun. There's it's

always fun going to Cafe Cruz. Merry Christmas, everyone. Hey, do you did you do any Christmas shopping this year? Or does Maggie do it all? What? No, I, you know, I took the kids out a few times Did you get anything you were excited to give them like something you're like, oh, I this is I picked a great gift you know like I don't know. Um Yeah, there's yeah, yeah, there was some neat moments. Yeah, and then some not so neat

I mean, Riley really wanted Taylor Swift books and I was like, fuck the patriarchy. I'm not doing it. But like, I'm not gonna it's what she wants. So she got a Taylor Swift coloring book, Taylor Swift style book. I said I wanted an automatic garlic peeling machine where you just throw the cloves and it spits the paper out the back and and and the peeled cloves out the other side. Yeah. And they found one I got it. Did you know that one existed? No, I know but I was like if it doesn't I'm gonna invent it. Yeah that's crazy. You, there's a lot of things that I make

Factory most dishes the garlics have to labor and I've done all the different You know silicone sleeve you roll it in and all that shit. It's still a pain in the ass and then you get that Your hands are wet to dry and the shit's sticking to everything except coming off the garlic and By the way, this isn't my mom. I just realized that's not no, my mom hasn't misspelled the word since the second grade. That's cute. Yeah. So there's no way that's her. The high Greg. Yeah. Two G's. No way. No, it's three G's. Oh, three G's. Yes. Thank you.

There's people who was at one or two. I got it, it's, you know. Does yours look like this? Is yours a monstrosity? Yeah, yeah, it's hilarious. And it looks like someone made it in their garage, which is what I presume. Oh, like custom, yeah, like it was all... Like you bought the prototype, you know?

Riveted together by hand man with my hand. But I'm all about it. It doesn't even have to work. I just think that's a great idea. I'll support them and they can perfect it. Yeah. The garlic peeler. How do you do it now?

I lay a piece out and then kind of mash it over with like one end of the knife and then, you know what I mean? Is that how you do it now? By hand? I take the uh cut the the node the nodule off the one end not the pointy end but the one that kind of goes flat where it was attached yeah yep and uh lay them down I take a pretty good size cleaver and give it a wham with the fist. And then they kind of pop out to more or less. People have strong feelings about garlic. I only use garlic as an anti-parasitic.

Garlic taste change depends on how you prepare it. Usually you should hand peel and mince. Garlic crusher ruins its health properties, wow. That's a, there's a funny notion. I just, you know what what maybe it's true, but I would put a thousand dollars down right now that's just utter bullshit That that smashing it takes away its healing properties. Yeah, it's healing you have to whisper like that's that's almost in a that's The question you'd ask ask almost always is like,

I wonder if anyone's measured that. And the answer is, fuck no. Someone told me, someone left a comment on YouTube this morning saying, I had the humor of a 14-year-old boy. I answered, fuck yes. Could be worse. I have no sense of humor at all. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, someone called it to my attention that last week, my comments were misunderstood. And I just want to take a moment to- Can I just say something real quick? They weren't misunderstood. Someone took them out of context. Look, I just, let me finish. They weren't misunderstood. Someone took them out of contact. Let me finish. I got to get this off my chest. I just wanted to say that

I'm truly, you know, from the bottom of my heart, sorry for how fucking stupid some people are. I mean, look at Craig Richie. Think of the fucking crossy bears, that poor fucking guy. All the things you and I, and this Christmas is a good time to go over this, to have a little, yes, just, you know, think about people that are, that aren't so fortunate. And think of the cross he bears, all those things you and I take for granted. Yes. Understanding basic, basic English and being able to communicate what you've heard to others and to comprehend, wrap yourself around. I mean, as a guy, he can't even help his kids with their fucking homework, you know?

Yes. And I was thinking of starting a GoFundMe forum because he's probably, he's a guy, he can't even help his kids with their fucking homework, you know? Yes. And I was thinking of starting a GoFundMe forum, because he's probably eating dog food off the fucking merchandise and shit someone sent me to his little website. It's hard. It's hard. And I think there's no better time than Christmas to kind of reach out a little and help some of those people less fortunate. And maybe you should buy him the critical thinking set of book. That's no I was thinking of yeah

I you know, he's he's ready to be like a boxboy at Vox It was uh, it was so apparent that he just went straight to Reddit saw the clip that someone took out of context and Then and then made a video on it Saw the clip that someone took out of context and Then and then made a video on it He hasn't been using the word CrossFit now for a long time anyway He calls it like high-intensity training or functional fitness or something. I mean he's got methodology invented by Greg Glassman Yes, that's what he should call it, right?

Amazing That's what he should call it, right? Amazing What do you think about GoFundMe? That would be very nice of you. Yeah He um, he was upset that um, you didn't know the athlete's name who passed and you didn't know his country of origin And and and so many people jumped on that bandwagon. Yeah. Well Imagine me caring about his country of origin. Right, right. What country is he from?

Serbia, I was gonna say Hungary. Oh, would I say Croatia? Yeah. How could anyone get those two mixed up? Right. Yeah, that's funny. Is there a country you could have been from where it didn't matter, It's not a tragedy?

Gaza, Gaza, Gaza. Maybe if I knew where he came from, I'd have a different view of someone who has what looked like a likely fatal event in the water, you know? And I'm talking about just distinct from drowning. You know, you have a fatal heart attack on terra firma and you have that same heart attack in the pool that will go down as a drowning. Of course, of course. And course. Of course. Right. Of course. Right. You get you get shot through the heart in the water. You're going to drown, not dive the bullet through your heart.

Right. You've recently the pier collapsed in Santa Cruz from a giant wave, the wharf. And if you fall in the water and drown, you died of drowning, not the wave that knocked the bathroom off the wharf while you were in it taking a deuce. I maybe, it's funny, I don't know if anyone's picked up on this, but I don't know in CrossFit anymore. And so I don't have to, I'm complete outsider. And I'm not really focused on the games or the names of people that drown.

I have a modest interest in any medical emergency and athletic competition because I've contributed so much to that space. But to think that I have to put on the corporate hat and pretend to care as others have, I don't. And it's funny, I probably care more than those that are pretending. I agree, I was thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yeah, if the family reached out to me to look for money to bury him, I would have paid it, you know? Even, even, yeah, whatever. It's all good. Hey, why do you think people do that? Is that just like, they're dealing with their own drama, they're dealing with their own, what's it called? Stupidity. It's really it. God, I think it's even more than stupidity. I think that there's just people out there

who are just looking to be offended and they just have their own trauma, not drama. They're just trying to relive their own trauma. Like somehow it's offensive because you didn't know someone's name or you didn't know their country of origin or something like that. It reminds me of

He it's like He died for God's sakes. The least you could do is remember his name. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's stupidity again You know one of the things when I first started working at CrossFit One of the things was eye-opening of how amazing all of the mill guys are and the first responders and the cops and all that. And I was like, wow, these are really good people. These are really good people. But there was a cohort that dealt in the metric of respect and disrespect.

And I always saw that as the fatal chink in their armor. Like, wow. Let me elevate the conversation and I'll take the position of a medical professional and I'll just call him John Doe. Okay. The, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the, um, the He'd be John Doe. Right. No, who he was in terms of prevention doesn't matter. And whether they pulled him out onto a board or not, that would have been great and potentially could have saved his life. But I find it exceedingly likely, especially in that no one seems to be

interested in this. So it makes me think that's probably is what happens since normal pay attention has to take up that cost. But I think it's more than plausible that he had no chance from the moment this thing went down. Hey, look, it's happening to guys on the soccer field. chance from the moment this thing went down. Hey look, it's happening to guys on the soccer field. Everywhere.

Everywhere. And it's happening every it's happening, you know, 300 times a year and run swim events. Hey, you know, let me draw a parallel here. You know that the, did you see the lady that got burned, she was sleeping on the subway and someone lit her on fire a couple days ago? I did. So you can do a full circle look at that. You could, you could put it on, why was she asleep on the subway? She knew it was dangerous Where were the fire extinguishers? Why did why why don't the people of New York step up? Why was that guy illegally in the country, right?

You can do a full wrap around and look at all of the different things that may have Made it so she didn't burn to death that may have made it so she didn't burn to death. But what's crazy is, is that specifically about this Lazar Jukic situation, is that no one, nobody, it's so faux, it's a such a faux pas that they, no one, on one side no one wants to look at him for any person accountability or responsibility. It's all just Dave or nothing. Those people won't have, they refuse to look at the whole picture. And there's a cohort of them that just accuse me of just defending Dave, which I understand. But why are you even afraid to even look at the whole picture if you actually care and want to prevent

this from happening again? Like, hey man-, hey man, if you'd had a dozen professional lifeguards on duty, right? I doubt you would have one at the finish line. I think there'd better be better placement across the expanse of the lake. Right. The star. Right. The other thing is people, people, uh, you know, elite athletes, champion swimmers don't drown in swim meets. Triathletes drown all the time. 56 year old dude lost in the throng of thrashing bodies and flailing arms. Yeah, a week after the Games Two guys died in the same event, it was the in Spain. It was like the world's Ironman World Championships.

Drowned. Well, they got it. They got a safety committee now. So that should never happen again. Right. Committees are so effective at everything they do. Right. They should have just had them all swim in those shark cages. Everyone has their own boat with a shark cage on the side of it.

I'm going to invent something where you can dry land swim. We attach something to your feet and you're on a roller, you know, a bunch of rollers. Yeah. The swimmerg. Yes. Hit up the drysler gackers. We need a swimmerg. Is that the guys who invented the rower?

Yeah. Good people, by the way. I don't want anyone to think I'm making fun of them. No, not at all. Of course not. They had me out to Vermont and I loved it. It was crazy cool. I was thinking, how can I get out? And I said, I just wanted to buy a house there until the deer flies came after me. And I swat the thing away. And it does a 360 and tries to get to the same spot. I

mean, I'm fighting this thing in the air is like a dog fight. And I'm like, what's the deal with these? Oh, they're everywhere all summer long. I'm like, okay. Like if Bernie Sanders weren't bad enough. Oh, is that where he's from? Yeah. What do you think about the, I know you're not a huge fan of the death penalty. If I remember your argument correctly, you just don't trust the judicial system to the point of executing people. The state. The state. The state.

And yet the story goes that, you know, I'm sure you've seen the story. One of the guys they got off of death row this past week, thanks to Biden's blue haired council, killed two little girls and a US sailor. He's going to pardon as many people as it takes so that we don't focus on Hunter. And it's already working. Wow. That's how stupid everybody is, Craig Richie. Wow. And I'm not making fun of Biden. It would be fine if you did. But that is the approach. I'd come up with a doozy of a list for him.

Wow, that's fascinating. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, just to completely- You think the pardon your son's bad, anyone would do that. Look, he let Kaczynski out or whoever he's dead, but whatever the next guy is. Oh, the Boston Marathon bomber. He didn't let him out. You know why? No. Why did he get excluded? Maybe he said he excluded those other people because of his Catholic faith, but maybe the bomber bomber bullshit, of course Utter fucking bullshit. He didn't was a debrocked. What's this? I don't want to get his name wrong

the boston bombers, yeah the dude that The dude that and what is he Croatian or no serbian? He's a serbian Is he retchenian? I don't know what he is, dude Hey, you know what? That is pretty funny. It would be disrespectful if you didn't get the Boston Bombers name right. He didn't let that guy off the hook because... Sarnay. ...the death penalty thing, right? Did he already dodge the death penalty?

Um...I don't know. It's in Boston, so anything's possible. You gotta be careful because Massachusetts may be up for play Really Well, you know, he's got he probably check it out. Maybe these are all red state dudes. He let out let off But I fly well in Boston at all But that wouldn't fly well in Boston at all. Djokovic, what's his name? No, it's a hard name. It's Tsarnaev.

It's T-S-A-R-N-A-E-V. That's a hard Tsarnaev. Oh, okay. Tsarnaev. And his first name is D-Z-H-O-K-H-A-R. Yeah. Dzokar? Dzokar something. Dzokar Tsarnaev.

Two other guys didn't get off either. The guy, Austin Bomber, let me wiki him. Did he get the... Let me see if I... He's an American terrorist of Chechenian and Avar descent. Let me type, let me command F this death. Look at his fate, you'll see his sentencing. They'll tell you in Wikipedia.

I'm looking up death. On January 30th, 2014, announced that the federal government would seek the death penalty. On 2015, when the government refused to rule out the possibility of death penalty, admitted in her opening statement, Sarnoff committed the acts of question, but sought to avert the death penalty.

Sarnoff is eligible for the death penalty. On May 15, 2015, the jury sent Sarnoff to death by lethal injection on six of 17 capital accounts. So so so Joe consulted his Catholic God and his Catholic God says, what are you fucking idiot? This guy's you come on, you know, Boston Strong. God doesn't care about people that set off a bomb at the Boston Marathon. And the guy who shot up some Jews and the guy who shot up a black church,

they also didn't get their sentences communed. Three guys. Isn't that something? 37 of the 40 people on federal death row got communed, I guess. Good morning, coaches. Is it possible to get Seyfried's cancer protocol? We went from killing people to saving lives. I found the push-pull method, no sugar, Fenn, bendazole and oxygen.

Is there more? Yeah. Um, uh, that can be passed your way through my partner, Emily at, uh, at, uh, broken science initiative. I know she has, she has, uh has I have it too, but I don't I'm in Massachusetts and there's a group of Boston Bomber sympathizers who are campaigning for his release, of course How do you have Boston Bomber sympathizer? I really enjoyed that movie Was it Boston Strong?

Was it about him? Was it a doc? Yeah, no, no, it was a, was it McConaughey? Who was in that? They already made a Boston Bomber movie. Is it about the Marathon bombing? I think it was Boston Strong. I think it was Boston Strong. It wasn't called Patriot Day with Mark Wahlberg? I typed in Boston Bombing movie and I on the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 and the subsequent terrorist manhunt directed by Peter Berg. Did they do is that movie called Boston Strong? Uh, I can look up.

You did have a different title at first. Maybe there's a companion documentary. Nope, maybe. I don't know. I don't see it. Okay. Barstool Sports Documentary Series Boston Strong. That was in April of 2020. Yeah, I think maybe it was the one with Marky Mark. It was well done.

I like watching Walbrook. Hey, since we're on such an uplifting, um, con I like him to, since we're on such an uplifting conversation, why do you, do you remember the grid league? Yeah, yeah. Why do you think that failed? Or would you say, I'm sorry, I don't mean to ask you a loaded question. Do you think it failed? Well, I, I, I know, uh, I know Craig Howard accused Tony of burning through $25 million in a year or something. Maybe it was $30 million in two years.

I don't know, but it was a shit ton of money. I thought the idea was ill-conceived, and it was coming out of a cast of characters that I had to put a pretty good effort into into on the regular politely and kindly Dancing away from their their notions, you know, I Mean I would have I would have shorted it Oh Meaning invested that it was going to fail. It seemed to me inevitable. See I thought, I thought the games were going to fail and financially they have were, are.

And why is that so? What, what, but specifically around grid, if you had to give those people advice, what would you think you did wrong? Most of the, just pick your sport, whether it's, uh, you know, NFL, um, if you look at the owners, most of them have made enormous sums of money through things that had nothing to do with the sport. Right. And so you make enough money in commercial real estate

or fried chicken or cable television, and you really like football, and it's a cool thing to own a team and sit in the box and be kind of a celebrity. And you do things like John Welborn told me, smartest guy in the NFL, I can't even say that without laughing. What's really funny too is he believes it,

but he said that you'd end up doing shit like having to paint faces at the owners, paint kids faces at the owner's 10 year old's birthday party. And for the owner, that's a great thing. Look, I got an all pro lineman there, not that John was ever all pro, but you got superstars that we all watch and cheer for, you know, sitting on the dunk tank

at your 11 year old girl's daughter's birthday, right? Yeah. And playing lead and pin the tail in the donkey. And you see, you basically work for those people, but only an idiot would think that I'm gonna buy an NFL franchise because I want to be rich. And usually by the time you've gotten rich, you know that's no way to make money. It isn't.

And so when we saw a group that was dying to get into the competition space, I couldn't figure out the why of it because they had made their money in banking in Central America. And it didn't take much digging to find out that they were on the run committing felonies here. And it was basically a criminal enterprise that wanted to get into the fitness space. And so my assumption was the attraction was all the female games athletes that you can drug rape and, uh,

and a videotape and blackmail, according to the Tommy Marquez plan. And, and, and the rest is money laundering. Do you know, you could rent a house and pump the swimming pool out into the street and then have chicks in bikinis pouring water bottles of little crystal geysers, 16 ounces at a time into the pool until it's full, and then report to the IRS that you sold $15 million worth of water at the event. No one's going to be the wiser. You can buy spools of cable and resell it to someone else and claim that from that spool that you bought for $1,395, two miles of steel cable and claim you sold 100,000 jump ropes

at the event, et cetera. Right. Like someone said, just add two zeros to everything, all the real numbers, and you have an extraordinary vehicle for money laundering. And indeed, we attracted that element. My thought is that CrossFit presented, and Dave alluded to this the last time he was on the show, CrossFit presented and Dave alluded to this the last time he was on the show that we he said, you know Maybe I'm starting to think maybe Greg was right. We should have kept this thing We shouldn't Carson was a mistake. We went there way too soon. It should have been kept that like in a field somewhere and My addition to a Dave didn't say this but that it presented bigger than it was and people got confused.

I spent $25 million every year so that Tommy Marquez and Sean Woodlake could convince themselves they were actually talented individuals. And when I pulled the rug on it, the first thing is they were butt hurt and hated me and started slandering me. And the next thing that happened is they went broke. And they're going to be sitting there with Craig Richie eating the Alpo soon. I told you, I tried to unload that dog. No one with the money to buy it was that stupid. No one with the money to buy it was that stupid.

No one with the money to buy it was that stupid. I got taken out to dinner by the Silver Lake, Silverleaf, Silver Lake people, and they had a whole proposal on buying the games and it was like in the, they didn't want the games. They wanted, I told you, they wanted affiliates and seminars. That was their CrossFit games proposal. I'll pose on the top five worst dog foods. Is it really? Yeah.

But it's affordable and you get your vitamins. God, I haven't heard that word in forever. So, so, so, yeah, I didn't like it. I just haven't heard. I mean, I've heard maybe I still haven't heard Parina in 10 years. I don't even Alpo. I probably haven't even heard in 20 years. Here's some family. This is Millie, our pride and joy.

And these are her two sons. What characters. You know, I've brought up a lot of dogs. Wait, go back, you gotta go back 10 seconds. Look, he's not even in the camera. In the shot. It was classic. This is Millie, our pride and joy.

And these are her two sons. Stop it, the raising. What? Watch. Keep going. Characters. You know, I've brought up a lot of dogs. And I'm often asked about feeding.

Even I would know that needs to be reshot. Oh, man. This dog foods are mainly cereal. That's foods are mainly cereal. That's right. Mainly cereal. Some up to 70% cereal. Imagine the people running this like the cheerios commercial. Hey, what the fuck's wrong with cereal asshole?

You know, I wouldn't feed my dog any kibble. I don't trust a single kibble or canned food. Opinions on pedigree? I think he means pedigree dog food. Isn't that a... yeah. Or maybe opinions on kind of what's the best dog. So you think Grid League was destined to fail from the beginning?

There's just no, there's no market for what people call the sport of CrossFit or- Yeah, well, was it supposed to be like a cross between, it was like a CrossFit-esque notion with a American Gladiator look and enthusiasm? Yeah, there would be specialists. I think there would be specialists. Cheerleaders and shit.

That too. Cheerleaders and you put the coaches in suits. I think the coaches had to wear suits. And I think that they pictured that it would be like baseball. There'd be like beer and like jerseys being sold and sold out crowds. And I think Tony did his first event at Madison Square Garden. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the stupidity of that is just mind numbing.

What do you think that price tag's like? Oh, fuck. I wonder if you can Google that. How much does it cost to rent out the garden? How much to rent out? And then what was his next gig? What did he what was the next good idea? Well now I think he went moved to drone league a renting the entire arena cost a million dollars. Oh that's a bargain. Yeah So it's it's a drone league Now he's doing drone league. I think only might be pretty successful

It is relatively I think it's got like a big, I mean, there's like probably, fuck Greg, there's probably 80 million drones in the United States. Yeah. Well, he's, what is he in Ukraine? Oh, I don't know where he, no, Tony lives in town with us. Okay. I think last time I saw him, he lived over there. Drones are huge in Ukraine right now.

If you can, if you can fly one of those, race one of those, you're like the man. They are very popular there. And over New Jersey. So so there do you think it's as simple as there's just not a fan base? There wasn't a fan base for it was just look, I, you know, I, I, I offered a seminar that I would go to in an affiliation that I would participate in, and I had trouble watching the games and I didn't understand it and it was popular, but I had to make it, I had to spend 25 million dollars a year to make it popular. And I just, I looked at that thing and I couldn't imagine it. But you know, I'm not, I'm not the, I don't claim any kind of special

But, you know, I'm not, I'm not the, I don't claim any kind of special sense of what's going to be big or not. Like I can't, I can't figure out Taylor Swift. Right. Going, going back to the games, but soon as you put a, you knew that soon as you put a stopwatch to the workouts, that it was a competition. Yeah. Anything you, anything you can, you can time, you can race. Whether it's turtles at your local bar, we got that in Coeur d'Alene.

So at the seminars was like a mini competition. At every seminar was a mini competition, right? Everyone would do Fran and everyone would know. Yeah. And everyone knew who the fastest time was there. Yeah. I, uh, the first game is my idea. And I said, Dave, let's do this at your mom's house. And, uh, he came out with the peanut roaster. I told him we meet a hopper and he pulled out the peanut roaster.

And we actually put the exercise in the set and rep scheme on ping pong balls and turned the crank and pulled out workouts. And it was actually fun, but I didn't like, Oh my God, we're rich. Hey. And did you, did you, were you the one who personally wrote with the Sharpie on the ping pong balls? You did it. Yeah.

How many, how do you remember how many balls were in there? I don't remember. Dave might remember. We should eBay the original hop. I think Dave's got the roaster. Yeah, it's at his house. Yeah. It's at the ranch. Hey, and the way I saw the games in the early years at the ranch was when you went to your gym, you were held at per you had accountability and responsibility, your responsibility yourself and accountability from your peers. And that if you were the best dude in your gym, you showed up to your games and that was kind of your point of accountability, right? There was just a it was just a goal for people to have to just really test their own true fitness against the best in the country.

I was keenly interested in, in using that as a vehicle, if I could, to kind of spread the movement. So that first year I didn't let Greg, Annie and Nicole go, cause we would have come with all these trophies and they would have left with the trophies. You know what I mean? Those were your clients, Greg Omensson, Annie Sakamoto and Nicole Carroll. Yeah, they were. And, uh, they had an unfair advantage

in that they had been doing this for two years longer than anyone else. And we already had a pretty good number of affiliates. So I wanted to see some other people shine, and indeed they did. But I was reminded just recently of the absolute beauty that was the 2019 games when we had 95% of the countries on earth represented. And you attended with me the athletes dinner for the yeah for the I mean that was that was a

in terms of just social engineering I'm as proud of that as anything we ever did. And of course that had to be disbanded torn apart the very next year. I think there were too many black people was the problem. They didn't like that. No. Yeah. One of the guys was a household name in his country and in FIFA, a soccer player that was a kind of a semi-legend. I don't want to sell him short, but he was hyper articulate as to selling short, but he was hyper articulate as to what this meant to the whole continent of Africa. And I also, we were going to move in externally to what I wanted to do was crown an Italian champion and get Vespa sponsorship, an Australian one, and that kid could come with fosters. We could regionalize with mega brands within those countries. And the bummer about an MBA is that you never learn anything about business.

You don't have the creativity to really invent anything. And that would have gone somewhere. That could have eased the financial burden and turned into something, I think. But we actually had some we had some talks with Haviana. They were interested. Vespa was interested, but the second year that had to be stopped. But I'd had fosters, you know, and it was easy to ask a Brazilian, you know, what's the international brand for which you have the most pride? And it was, in fact, we heard Haviana's over and over and over and over again, and over again and everyone I knew warm

Those were the the flip-flops from Brazil. Yeah, they're like the yeah It's a you know three billion dollar a year flip-flop concern and You can throughout Brazil you take half of the people have them. That's like those are their slippers, you know, that's the shoe And Vespa is a cool fucking brand, right? Yeah, very Italians are it's it's almost you know, Javeana and I there was someone I used in presentation Javeana Vespa fosters those are sources of national pride. I think Vespa is a quality product too. I do too. And I'm sure that Javeana

for rubber shit flip flop, it's probably it's well done, right? I think Vespa is a quality product too. I do too and I'm sure the Haviana for a Robor shit flip-flop it's probably it's well done right? Yeah I mean I don't know I don't wear it. What do you expect of it? You know I would stick diamonds on it or something? Every country has has something like that. Finland, Nokia, right? There's something every, many, many countries have some brand that we're all intimate with. And I would think they would find it irresistible.

I mean, look, we draw, the guy from, the gal from Range Rover USA, heard me saying that the Rover was kind of a CrossFit-esque car, that there was no luxury car that was more capable off-road, and no off-road vehicle more luxurious than the Rover. And so it very broad in its capabilities. And this gal comes forward and we got that sponsorship. When she pushed it upward to the mothership to the international body, they weren't interested and she left the company and opened a box. I remember that.

I remember that. And so there was an opportunity that just got missed. If someday CrossFit ends up in the hands of something other than VCs and MBAs that just rape good ideas for their fruit to see them eventually dismantled and get what you can, Q2, Q3, Q4, goodbye. That format would come up again. Of course, fireworks, no problem. Okay, enjoy. Isn't it too early in the morning to be lighting fireworks? Make sure they go outside though, okay?

All right. Do we have to do that with anybody? Yeah, you probably should do them with mom, is the thought. Mama said that we have to do it again. Oh, with me? Okay, well when I'm done here, we'll do fireworks. All right, honey. That's a thing, fireworks on Christmas.

Only at the Glassman's house. No, I mean, my Safeway was loaded with them. Surprised you're not gonna go next door and fire off the guns. We gotta, hey. I bet. We gotta, we're not in Idaho. We got a confetti cannon. Wow, is that big? No, it's just a commercial thing. It twists the bottom and it blows confetti or

something. Oh, is it reusable? We're gonna have a we're gonna light the chimney. Confetti. Are you having people over today? Like a big party? Yeah, yeah. Grandma Katie, Grandma Edie, Rocky. Oh, I see a confetti can. I see confetti cannons. And the rest of the De Palmas.

We got a pretty good crowd coming. Hey, my buddy Elliot's bringing a menorah and candles in the official prayer. And we're going to, we're going to light a candle. I was explaining it's time to unite the Judeo-Christian cultures. So did you invite him over and you said it's Hanukkah and you said, bring your menorah? I could totally see you. No, I know. I knew, I know, I know tonight's the first night of Hanukkah. Yeah. And I in all earnestness,

I think that that Judeo-Christian culture and look, I'm an atheist, Judeo-Christian culture can distinguish itself from the rest of the world on terms and standards that have nothing to do with religion. Maybe inspired by, caused by. Frederick Hayek was like me in that he had no God, but he said that everything that he valued, all of the values that were essential to him and what he perceived to be essential to our civilization and success, were unique to the Judeo-Christian cultures. There seems to be a lot of proof of that. Like...

Hey, what advice would you have? There's this story going around that this woman has invested $15 million into this new CrossFit League and it's going to start up this year. Do you have any advice for her? CrossFit League? Yeah, like, you know, like, they're going to pay, they're going to like, like, roughly there's 20 or 30 athletes, they've given them all contracts for like $30,000 or something like that, and they're going to compete. And I'm guessing they want it to be sustainable. Because I don't think that they're selling anything. Do you know what I mean? They're not piggybacking. They're not doing it like at the Ford dealership.

Or like in the parking lot at Target to try to drive people in the Target. I think it's supposed to be a standalone business. They should hit up Craig Howard. He's supposed to be a standalone business. They should have Craig Howard. He's good for these kinds of things. He'll give them the advice they need. No, I will. I may, I was thinking more like take a mortgage on the house or something. Um, so you don't think that that is going to be in Lincoln Brigham. Uh, so you don't think that that's going to be a successful business model?

You don't think that there's a business there? I don't see it, but listen, I would have listened to Taylor Swift and go, I don't know what you're going to do. Right. So I'm not the guy. OK. Dude, I don't like onions, you know, I mean. But you ran the biggest you owned and ran the biggest, uh, CrossFit event that has inspired these other people to start their own events. I did such a good job of it.

Did it just a shit ton of morons thought it was the business. Right. Frazier. Right. Joe Rogan. Right. Frazier. Right. Joe Rogan. Right. Now tell you where I double-dotted. If someone wants to have a triglyceride and blood pressure lowering competition, I'm all in and Metfix is the sponsor. Who can take some of the malignant hypertension and get them normal intensive and have them pass a drug test? No antihypertensives. I got a million bucks for that shit. Yeah, I'm willing to lose that money.

Does that sound fun? See, I can get that does actually sound fun, doesn't it? Yeah. It's the biggest loser thing, but on a metabolic scale. It's bizarre to me that people think that there's a business model there. You said it so well. You did such a good job at throwing your company Christmas party that people think you're a party throwing company, that you're a rave company. Yeah, yeah.

And it's like uh no i was uh wishing jay bodhicharya of merry christmas this morning and and uh left and man i don't envy him it's smart man good man good man oh it's it's what he's what he's up against is going to be just epic, you know, and I worry for them actually. But my gift for them this morning was medicines parameterization of health, the university acknowledged metrics like blood pressure, triglycerides, body fat, bone density, A1C, etc. are treated as though they were independent variables, they are not, they are dependent variables governed by lifestyle choices. Pursuing health by direct pharmaceutical intervention of these variables has the logic and effect of hammering on the speedometer of a runaway train, for the most part. Sometimes that's all that is available, but the approach

at best is fraught with a host of atrogenic complications. The needed approach is simple yet hard, but missing the true nature of the parameterization is a scientific failing with dire public health consequences. I had two gifts for them, both homemade. That was one Christmas gifts. The other one is that the toxic allure of certainty fed by an ignorance of science allowed the academy to fall into the trap of deductivism, whereby the management of uncertainty was eschewed and the optimal processing of incomplete information missed entirely. Those are my two gifts for my new head of the NIH. NIH head.

There you have the replication crisis and the sequela of that. It's the epistemic failing and the sequela of that is chronic disease. We have chronic disease because our universities at the primary research level, not that natural sciences, but at the primary research level has no idea what science is. Which is why we're doing our thing on the 11th and 12th. I'm going to come up tomorrow and kind of data dress rehearse for a narrative. Sequela, an after effect of a disease condition or injury. Secondary result. Yeah, the downstream.

A condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury. Is that an SAT word? You know, it might be. I should know. Hey, I was doing an SAT prep and You know, it might be. I should know. Hey, I was doing SAT prep and I cracked the code and it was the guy Gruber. He was actually a Taft Hyde dude that Gruber's SAT prep. And here's what he said. The SAT for 30 years has been working on a caviar list of 5000 words.

Here they are. And I'm like, you kidding me? And you can memorize them. You can memorize them in two or three months. First off, unless you're unless you're Craig Richie, you know, you know, half to two thirds of them already. Hey, he he got a whole room full of kids at TAF perfect SAT scores and they made him take it again and accused him of cheating. Uh huh. Guess what happened when they took it again. Same results? Yeah, perfect SATs again.

And he was using the Woodland Hills Public Library, I think is the legend, and they have actual and complete SATs there. So it's like you can get the year, you know, 1983, 84,4 85 and you look at it and it's the same fucking thing then sometimes they would do things like, you know You're solving for a hypotenuse of a triangle and it was it was it was Three four five and then it then it becomes a six eight ten, right? But the answer is still C I mean the kids kids, they gamed it, they cracked it. Did you go to school with this guy? What's that?

Did you go to school with this guy, Gruber? No, but I think he was behind me, but I knew people that knew him. And I know that his proof of concept was demonstrated with Taft students where he was accused of being a flagrant cheat. Falsely accused. students where he was accused of being a flagrant sheep. Falsely accused. Listen to this. First of all, I believe that intelligence can be taught. Intelligence is simply defined as the ability to reason things out.

I'm convinced that you can learn to think logically and figure things out better and faster, particularly in regard to SAT math and verbal problems. Someone must give you the tools. Let us call the tools strategies. And that's what critical thinking skills are. It's like the critical thinking company and what I'm doing with my kids where it's all skill based. Now the thing about skill based learning is in the math, you have to contextualize it against something and what contextualize

against application. And what do we call the applications of math with science is part of it, right? And then on the reading and writing the qualitative skills the language skills I have to contextualize them you have to read something and write about something and why not the Western Canon and now I have I have the That of the humanities that is that is most worth in. So these things, these skills contextualize in a rich, rich knowledge base if you play it right. Let me give a plug for Farnsworth's, let me get the books. I don't even know what's inspired this, but. Farnsworth? Yeah.

Yeah. Is this something new you got? No, I've had it a while, but I've never failed to appreciate the genius of this man and his work. Ward Farnsworth, the practicing stoic. Oh, okay. And Farnsworth classical English metaphor, and Farnsworth classical English argument, and he's also got a book on chess, like Predator at the Chess Board, and it's brilliant, and he's Dean of the Law School at UT Austin.

He's one of the great men of letters in this country, I think. Wards Farnsworth. Yeah. But those books are so good. They're just brilliant. They're brilliant. God, he's got quite a list of publications. Man, he's a busy man. a list of publications.

Man, he's a busy man. He's a legal scholar of the first order too. Have you met him? No, but I would get on the plane to go have tacos with him. What's that place in Austin we went? I don't remember. Hey, this guy's young. He's a stud. Dean of law school for 10 years.

University of Texas school of law where he was Dean from, yeah. Wow. 10 years, 2012 to 2022. Supreme court clerk to Kennedy, I think it was. No shit. Yeah. His chess book is brilliant. His, uh, his, uh, uh, his rhetoric book is as good as any of the classics. What is Cicero?

I mean, it's it's, it's really, really good. It's funny, he's done so much. Look how little there is on him. Yeah. He's written on a wide range of subjects. His legal writings include articles on economic analysis, constitutional law, statutory interpretation, legal applications of cognitive psychology. It's funny, I don't see his chess book in here. I think I have that sitting here too. God, that is ballsy to write a chess book. I

Think it's predator at the chest He said what are these say me look it up What is it? What is it? What's it called? I think it's Predator at Farnsworth Chess, Amazon. I think it's Predator at the Chessboard. Predator at Chess, Farnsworth. Yeah, Predator at the Chessboard. That's it. He's found a full- attack mode and it's you know, that's where Riley's jujitsu success comes from. Rhett gets out there in the mat and someone tries to do something to him and he thwarts it and then they try something else and he thwarts it and they try something else and he thwarts it. Riley goes out there and and she's the one trying shit, you know, it's just the the

the aggressor the upper hand and and hand. And that was my takeaway from the chess, but it was just the aggression. And what's cool is that nobody that doesn't play too much chess has much luck against computers. But at any level that I play and can play without demoralizing myself against the computer, I find my best results. And it's interesting because the best success I've had for any given level is I've been able to pull draws. And that never happens to me in human play, but I've gotten draws with computers. And my key to the draw is hyperaggression. Like you're going against a superior opponent in some kind of battle, right?

On the battlefield and you throw the spear and it pierces his chest, you know? I mean, if you're the little guy and he's the big guy, that's might be your only chance. You only have one nuclear bomb send it. You get a draw. I was thinking there was something we saw militarily where like, I don't know, did you see the dudes on 60 minutes behind the Israeli pagers and walkie talkies?

No, really? Yeah, and I had to read about it in National Review. I didn't actually see it yet. Someone queued it up for me. But these guys had a pretty good sense of humor and what a brilliant thing they did. Did it talk about how Israeli and Mossad tricked Hezbollah into buying explosive pagers? Wow, two days ago. Wow. Hey, Seve, the walkie talkies had the bombs and the battery and they'd been using them

for a decade. They were just waiting for a special occasion. A decade? Yeah. yeah. I mean that's that makes the that beats the Trojan horse thing which sounds like bullshit to me. I like I call bullshit on the Trojan horse. I think it's Greek mythology. Uh yeah, this this is probably an interesting article too. Look at the title of this one.

The real reason why Israelis and Mossad cooperated with 60 Minutes and tell all Hezbollah pagers. That's probably an interesting article, right? Because that's the first thing I thought when you told me there were 60 minutes. I was like, wow, why would they do that? Well the dudes were masked and voice disguised. I hope so. 10 years. The guess would be that that was, I mean, here it would be to hide

from the government as a source, but I'm sure it's for their own protection as well. That was the end of them, right? That was the death blow. Yeah, they actually had to figure a way to like, what do you have to do to get the, to get the, they wanted you, they wanted you holding the pager by your face when it went off. So they had to make it do something cool.

So you'd be like, what the fuck, you know, like holding up your eyes. So they had to make it do something cool. So you'd be like, what the fuck? You know, like holding up your eyes. Yeah. The pagers had to be made slightly larger to accommodate the explosives hidden inside. They were tested on dummies multiple times to find the right amount of explosives that would hurt only his bull of fighters, not anyone else in close proximity. Maslott also tested numerous ringtones to find one that sounded urgent enough to make someone pull the pager out of their pocket.

The second agent who went by the name of Gabriel said it took two weeks to convince his bull to switch the heftier pager, in part by using false ads on YouTube promoting the devices as dustproof, waterproof, producing long battery life. Wow. He described the shell companies, including one based in Hungary, to dupe the Taiwanese firm Gold Apollo into unknowingly partnering with the Massad. When they were when they are buying them from us they have zero clue what they are buying from the Massad, Gabrielle said. We make like Truman Show. Everything is controlled by us behind the scene and their experience everything is normal.

Everything is 100% kosher including businessmen, marketing, engineers, showroom, everything. What's going on in the Middle East? The 21st century is at war with the 12th. And the thing that complicates this for the good guys, for the non-heathens, the complicating factor is that the 21st century isn't willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the 12th. I mean, they have within their means more than enough firepower to put a complete and permanent end to the 12th century. But they don't because of their values, values that the 12th century won't have don't because of their values, values that the 12th century won't have when it finally gets

its hands on the technology, which is the second complicating factor, is that it's like cowboys and aliens. I mean, the bummer is that the bad guys have firearms and automobiles because like they have that because of the of their enemy. Right. They'd be rubbing sticks together in the dirt clitorectimizing their women with rocks if it weren't for what we what we've given them. By September 17th, heads Bulleterra's had 5,000 pagers in their

pockets when Israel triggered the attack the pagers began beeping and the users were instructed to push two buttons simultaneously for an incoming encrypted message. A feint aimed at ensuring both their hands were on the device when it exploded. Man, that's just wonderfully brilliant. If I had a hat on, I'd take it off right now, just out of respect. Which also has you in front of your eyes, right? And so, you know, it's a victory if we can blind you. I saw that picture of that guy with patches on his eyes. Yeah, so that was the death blow to them 5,000 pagers detonated I Think I think there is a god knees Jewish

Um, yeah, has your family open presents yet? Oh, yeah, we were ripping paper just shortly after dawn. Oh, I told them I'd get off the show early today so I could. You know, I was, I was going to promise something similar, but I didn't, I didn't want to do that to you or our loving audience, but it's all good for me when you got to go, you got to go. We were ripping early and I got more people coming. I'm going to light a chimney. When this is done, I'm gonna go get grandma Katie. And you know, I was thinking of Uber and Uber. I took the, I got my Porsche washed and whatever

used it, it turned into black tar, the gasket on the windshield. Oh no. Fucking bummed the windshield. Oh no. Fucking bummed yeah. Oh no. So I took it to my guy. Hey my guy, my detailer is so good that when I had one of my cars detailed in Prescott they asked if Hyres Solomon in Tempe had done the ceramic coating and we're, why do you ask? And I thought maybe something was wrong. And he says that when we first learned, he was held up as the exemplar, the ultimate,

the Tiger Woods of ceramic coating. And you can tell by the job he does. On the vehicle, what is ceramic coating? It's just like nail polish all over your car. I don't know if that's true of the thing is I never stood around to watch the face, but I do know this that where dashboards and steering wheels get too hot to touch, that isn't a factor once they put the tint on. And they've got that little thing there where

they've got a ceramic tint with a very low tint factor and and then a blackened tint, and you touch underneath as this halogen light shines through, and the ceramic one lets a shit ton of light through, but it's not hot to the touch, not beyond what you're touching. The one that's got the black super tint in front of it, not only does it get hot, but the surface underneath becomes untouchable.

It goes on your windows? Yeah. Oh. Does it go on the paint also? I don't know. Oh. I just heard it was the shit deity and they dropped, we've taken all our vehicles there. I'm gonna do that for the bus when it comes. the the the the

the the the It was bleeding oozing its gasket. Oh that sucks Call her hi Hey, good morning gentlemen. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas both of you Yeah, I wanted to say more than that little circle jerk action here I wanted to say thank you both of you guys for all these years of keeping it real, not bowing

down and not changing your ways for the bullies and the cry bullies and all those people out there, the Richies of the world. Generally that's why we all keep coming back watching the podcast every day. And Greg, that's why we still stand behind you because you guys bring it and you bring it to some comfortable and we generally appreciate you guys. So Merry Christmas. Thanks for keeping it real.

Thanks, dude. Thanks, it's really kind. It's, you know, it's, think of the, think of how, how challenging it is to figure out, to stay in character, to be something other than yourself. And instrumental, I think to some extent I was born in circumstance, kind of put me this way, but I remember early Brian turning me on

to the Clutrain manifesto. And I was, I was, that gave me considerable enthusiasm for business that here was this trend coming where we were going to be able to speak in a human voice. And part of that is like, you know, the cert was $1,000 and affiliation was 500. And people are telling me, you don't know what you're doing, man. You're like, listen, I got an MBA MBA you need to be making $999.99 because no one know that's a thousand bucks right and I was like hey I don't I don't I don't want customers that don't know that $999.99 is a thousand so I'll just pass on it and thanks for the tip because I'm gonna make it a thousand bucks and I'll weed out some of those fucktards.

That's exactly how I felt. That's how I felt. After that whole Craig Richie incident, the channel lost 200 subscribers and I was thinking to myself, good, I hope it's a thousand. I hope it's a good calling of the herd. Like beat it. Yeah. I had, we had dangerously too many affiliates by 100 or so. And in fact, I can give you the number when Box Rock

or whatever the fucking thing was, was saying that we lost 4,000 affiliates. The number was a couple hundred. And you go through the list and there are people who have been a pain in our fucking asses from the beginning I Bet I was telling savan the other day about my box my gym and it's

It's a miracle. We're still around but the the owners now they show it maybe once a month super woke super just like Maybe not any a level but definitely corporate America type people. They don't value the people at the gym. It's a real shame. I think the only reason we stay around not to do my own orange is I'm still a CrossFit through and through, live the methodology, live the lifestyle, live the methodology, you know, treat people good, all that stuff, but also keep it real and say the tough things that need to be said. And, uh, is this Josh? Who is this? Jeremy? I don't think you've met Jeremy.

Have you guys met before Jeremy? Have you ever met Greg? I have not met Greg. Not yet. We'll make that happen. Jeremy, we'll bring you out. I'll take you Greg, not yet. We'll make that happen, Jeremy. We'll bring you out and I'll take you to my taco joint. I'd be honored, man. You'd make my year, that'd be great. Why, it's an easy thing to do then. Seve, you here after the gig in January, Seve,

for a couple of days? Yes. Okay, let's bring Jeremy out. Oh, awesome. We'll go to Ocean 44 and eat crab and throw the shells over our shoulders. Awesome. That'd be great.

That'd be great. I appreciate it so much. Merry Christmas, Jeremy, thank you. Seve, check this out. Here's what I was thinking to do in Ocean 44, just to pull up the street from me. Yeah. I was thinking I'd hit up the manager

and I was just kind of making numbers up, but it can be really hard to get a table, especially spontaneously. So if we want to eat at 530, two months from now, we can do it. But I would like to walk in a couple of times a week. And my thought is, and I think this might work for the restaurant, unless anyone knows in the industry, might tell me that where I misguided. But my thought is, is that we could get a high top in the bar

under these circumstances. I'll give you 30,000 for the year. And it's, you know, just make a number up. And it's mine any day that I let you know by three o'clock in the afternoon. I've got it. And if you don't hear from me by three, throw it into the inventory. Hey, I don't know the name of that.

I don't know that. Have I been to this place with you? I don't know, but it's the Sister Restaurant to Steak 44. And it got a zag. It's like second best seafood restaurant in the United States. You like crab legs? Love them.

Yeah, me too. I like cold seafood. I like hot seafood. Yeah, I didn't know you liked crab legs. I love them too. You know, I'm, it's kind of like Greek food minus the onions. I could throw the dart at the menu and like it.

Italian food, almost all of it. Mexican food, you stay off the sour cream and for some weird reason I'm not in the wok. I know there's something weird there and it's my problem. But there are whole genres that, not many of them, but some that I pretty much like all of it. And seafood's that way. I'll to meet some of the weird shit. I don't like the tongues and stuff of a, uh, uh, at Mexican restaurants tongues. Yeah. Tongue. Don't they have like, I like like the cow tongue burrito and shit. Yeah. I had a, I had a goat burrito once. I got Cali, the crunch, crunch, crunch, and go inside. It's the bones. a baby goat oh geez and they just it all gets chopped up that it's a little more paleo that I'm ready for

you know me and the boys went um uh Donovan took me and the boys fishing off the pier and we caught probably like 100 sardines and we brought them home chopped their heads off cleaned them out and we just ate those bones we just ate down you know like the spine of that fish cleaned them out and we just ate those bones we just ate down you know like the spine of that fish yes just chomped it up it's crazy thing about that harbor man I'm so fucking it's a miracle that I got my boat down to Coronado did you see the video I sent you I saw the video you Samy and it seems to me that they're about every five years all the boats get fucked up in the harbor then I told Bruce maybe that's not a place for a fine fine vessel but we've what we've got

there now is uh coming as soon as they clean up out hey where the actual part is one of the fingers they call it that hold the that form the slip yeah is gone so your boat would have been fucked my My boat would have been, all those boats got fucked. So we took safe harbor in, in, in Coronado and I'm replacing that slip with a, a nine meter zodiac, which, you know, has the inflatable sides and is probably a little more forgiving to bang it into other shit. Why did this happen? There wasn't, it wasn't even like there was a big storm here.

What happened? What, why, why, why does it do this? I mean, look at this wave coming in. And it's too normal. North Harbor. Yeah. Why did this happen? And I've wave shot right through the Harbor mouth.

And a wave shot right through the harbor mouth. God. Then I guess my next question is, I wonder why this doesn't happen more often. We had a tsunami a few years back and it happened. Look at this. Look at this comment here. What did we had a tsunami of a few years back and it happened? Look at this. Look at this. Look at this comment here. I'm sorry. I just saw it. This is this is the retard Ville Yep, all I hear is you cussing instead of asking and praying for these people your language is so foul It's hard to look at the video go to the dictionary and learn new words Meanwhile Imagine trolling trolling go to the dictionary and learn new words. Meanwhile... Imagine trolling Twitter feeds on storms looking for...

Yeah, what in the mini tsunami was that? Yeah, I'm totally getting tsunami effect. Man. man. Tay is a boat owner. I hate to even look at that. I mean, raise your code like it never even happened. Hey, Biden doesn't know he pardoned those people, huh? Does he commune those people? That's just a room full of like, uh, long, uh, blue hairs and nose piercing people. Right? Yeah.

I narrow shouldered men. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what his feeding and diaper changing and all that. I don't know what it looks like. But that is where it's at, right? That's not even an exaggeration. He's hurting.

It's that sad. I'm not making fun of him. It's fucked. At least you know his name. At least you know his name right. Do you see the... Do you know where Joe Biden was born? Do you know where he's from?

Do you know what state he was born in? He was born in Pennsylvania, wasn't he? I don't know, but if you don't know, that's pretty disrespectful. I think that's his claim at least. Check it out, I think it was. I think he was born in Pennsylvania. Oh, yep, Scranton.

Yeah. Scranton. He. Scranton. He was a black kid and Jewish. And Puerto Rican. Yep. Born in 1942. Hey, I got in Laptop from Hell, we got Hunter Biden making fun of his dad in 2011 about his senility in tax.

Saying, thank God he's got Secret Service or he'd never find his way back to the White House. Ha ha ha. Thirteen years ago. Yeah, his son. So the National Review piece taking on PolitiFact for saying that the illegal immigrants eating pets was the lie of the year. And the National Review guy is like, listen, I'm not even going to touch that, the pet

eating thing. But how do you? And then he's got a list of things. And he says that the lie of the year was that Biden was sharp as a tack. Right. And the video links to that. It's hilarious. It's amazing. I mean, you know, CNN, MSNBC, multiple, like everyone, they're like all reading

from the same script, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack, in full command of his faculties. Promised that, swore to it, called it a vast right-wing conspiracy that he was in a mental decline. The scripts being handed out by the White House are absolutely amazing. I've watched some stories on that, about how they hand them out to the media.

It is, and the whole relationship, the relationships that the White House has with the media is so crazy and sestrel. I mean, it's like people's, you know, like sisters and brothers who are the heads of NBC, ABC, CBS. It's bizarre. It's my recollection that began with Rush Limbaugh pointing it out. And what he had is video clips. You got the radio, so it's audio. And what you're hearing is one person after another, you just daisy-chain them together and they'd have like 30 or 40 identical words, one person after another person after another person after another person, exact same lines, and he called it talking points. Oh, yeah, yeah. And so, and the response from the left was to call him Adolf Hitler.

response from the left was to call him Adolf Hitler. I thought I thought lump rush limbaugh was some kind of piece of shit just based on what I'd heard from the media. Yeah. And then one day I heard him and I was like, Oh, this guy's good. He's funny. He's self deprecating. He's kind. Doesn't matter what stupid thing you call up and say he's he's respectful. And I mean, it was he was a good dude. Yeah you know I hated him without ever listening to him because that's how what I was programmed to do. Yes there was nothing to hate there like Dr. Laura Schlesinger same kind of thing. Yeah yeah. She didn't look half bad naked either when that came out but. Oh really that came out? Yeah someone got her pussy pics. Wow. But she, I was traveling cross country once driving and I didn't know who I was listening to.

But some gal was saying, I think I've shared this on your show before, but I liked it. This guy was saying, my husband, like something's wrong with me and my marriage. I have no interest in my husband sexually and it's a problem for us. And so after a little bit of digging and Laura jumps right to it, like, you know, what's he do? Nothing.

Oh, what do you mean nothing? Does he have a job? No. Oh, where is he right now? What do you mean? Where is he right now on the couch? Okay, okay. I got this. I got it's not possible biologically for you to be attracted to. That's not how the world works. Man on couch not attracted. Try fight, struggle to support and defend you. There's intercourse is unlikely. But I just saw her body. It's absolutely insane.

She looked like a cross fitter. See? Yeah. Her body is absolutely insane. Hater for that too, right? Of course. Yeah. Her body is absolutely insane. Hater for that too, right? Of course. Yeah. All right.

And if you, if you hit up the person that you had lunch with three days ago and tell them, I haven't eaten since we went to lunch to them, it sounds like you haven't eaten in a year. So you're not eating, you're fasting for Christmas.
