Starting point is 00:01:00 It is the end of the Howard Stern show after decades. At least that's what the reports are claiming it's not guaranteed that a show actually ends. But according to the Sun, an inside source says that Sirius is not going to renew his contract. and they're expected to make an offer that he must refuse, just backwards, but I guess the idea is ain't nobody wants to pay this guy $100 million, and they're saying politics seems to have played a role. Guys, whether you're Colbert, Howard Stern, you cut your audience in half. What are you doing? Now, I guess it's the nature of the game. I mean, obviously, we here at Timcast are partisan as well.
Starting point is 00:01:51 It's different when you were never the king of the castle, though, and you just are where you are. but this is it's iconic if Howard Stern is not re-opt and this is the end then that's the end of an era
Starting point is 00:02:02 for better or for worse we'll talk about that plus my friends the WNBA more money is being bet on the color of the being thrown on the courts
Starting point is 00:02:12 if you know what I mean than the actual games themselves and we've actually pulled up some of the polymarket and oh boy seems like people are choosing to win this
Starting point is 00:02:21 on their own if you know what I mean we will break that down We have some updates on the Texas situation with the Democrats who have fled and an evacuation from Antarctica. Much crazy stories. Arson at an ice facility. Hey, man, there's so much crazy stuff. It just never ends, huh?
Starting point is 00:02:39 All right, but before we get started, we got great sponsors for it today. We got bearskin. Man, I love these bearskin hoodies, my friends. They are very comfortable. They are beautiful. And check out B-A-E-R-S-Skin slash Tim. You guys heard of the bearskin hoodie, probably because. as you've seen us on the show wearing them.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Admittedly, it is hotter today. I'm not wearing it right now. Well, smart people are locking in their winter gear now because its hands down is the best time to prep for winter. Bear skin is running a 60% off deal right now. The hoodie is built like a tank. 340 GSM micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit. It looks great.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jacket to become 100% waterproof when you need it. So when it turns cold, wet, or windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute. You'll get free U.S. shipping, fast delivery, and you've locked in your winter gear already. That is a win-win. So do yourself a favor. Text the word, Tim, to 36912 to lock in your 60% off.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Again, that is text Tim to 36912. You'll get a link sent to your phone. A link sent straight to your phone. You can check it out any time. Maybe you're busy right now. Maybe you're driving a car. And you can just click that and that 60% off will still be good. Or you can check out B-A-E-R dot skin.
Starting point is 00:03:53 slash Tim. Shut at the bear's skin. Appreciate the hoodies. You guys rock. And also, we've got Beam Dream. I absolutely love Beam Dream, my friends. I have been drinking it every single night. I need no script to tell you how good this stuff is. Because as much as, you know, I've worked really hard on my health. I started, I was drinking a little bit of this periodically and it felt really, really good. I was getting hydrated. I was sleeping well. And then as soon as I got into the groove and I was drinking this every single night, I have had the best sleep of my life. I'm not kidding. I even have this sleep tracker that shows me just how good my sleep has been, and it has been incredible.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Beam Dream, I like the cinnamon cocoa one. I did like the brownie better one. I like this one the best, and it is a delicious cup of hot cocoa right before bed. It's got magnesium, al-thian, melatonin in it. You drink this, you get in that groove, or you drink it every night, and you will be sleeping better than ever. Let me tell you, for a while I was like, I'm improving my sleep, I'm sleeping longer, but I did not realize. I did not realize.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It was easy for me to fall asleep, so I assumed I must have no issues. But I'd wake up and I'd have a sleep score in like the 80s or the low 90s. And I was like, that's pretty good. I'm doing my best. I started drinking this Beam Dream and now it's like 99% in 100. And it's shocking to me. What's happening is I'm getting better sleep. I had no problem falling asleep, but I'm staying in deep sleep longer, which is good for testosterone production and REM sleep, HGH, or I might have the backwards.
Starting point is 00:05:17 All I know is I feel like when I wake up, I got lightning surging through me. I love this stuff. Shout out. James O'Keefe also shout it out. Shout out to Beam Dream. Use promo code Tim Pool to get 35% off. It is absolutely good stuff. If all it was a cup of hot cocoa, it would be worth it, but it's better than that.
Starting point is 00:05:34 My friends also, don't forget to smash that like button. Share the show with everyone, you know. If you like the show, you appreciate the work we do.

Follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is scott greer thanks for having me on tim
Starting point is 00:05:55 who are you what do you do i am a writer and podcaster and a well they used to say a twitter influencer but it's now an ex-influencer on that and i have a new book coming out next year but i can't reveal the details yet so it's highly confidential but my substack is highly respected and that's my primary thing is it called highly respected or are you telling us that it is no my substack is called highly respected. Oh, I thought you're just bragging. Well, I'm both. I am both highly respected, and that's the name of, hence the name of my substack. Right on. Thanks for hanging out. Producer Tate's here. Producer Tate's here. Me and Tim, we actually bonded earlier. He fed me some very, very hot wings, and I was down for the count. I was
Starting point is 00:06:35 a little worried a year. Nine million. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was a, it was grim. I was, I was down. His face was swollen. Yeah, I was near death, actually. It was kind of like a spiritual experience. I think that's kind of like, um, the working class ayahuasca trip where it's like, Take some hot wings, a little tile and all, and then you start seeing things. If he gets up in the middle of the show, you'll know why. The back half of that experience hasn't happened yet. Yeah, we're getting there. Brett's hanging out.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Guys, yes, Brett. Normally pop culture crisis Monday through Friday, but we actually did an article yesterday. We did a topic yesterday about people talking about meeting their spouses on substack. Have you ever seen that happen? No. Definitely not on my substack. It's a heavily male demographic.
Starting point is 00:07:19 say, so. We got to find a more gender neutral substack to the fall. That's true, I do. I don't know where the female demographic is on substack, but maybe they're out there somewhere. Okay. Someone in chat said, wait, Tim fed them to you? I did. I said, open up, here comes the airplane. He loved it. So if you're looking to meet a significant other, that's what the Timcast Discord is for. That's happened.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I think so. Legitimately has happened, so sign up. No, this is not a joke. Sign up for it in the, in the, it's like, the best selling point for young men who are, it's like, we need to get members, how do we do it? Just point out that we've had like three couples meet and get married on the Discord and then young male will come flocking.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Build a family. Hello everybody, my name is Philibonte. I'm the lead singer, the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. Here's the big story. It's been trending all day, my friends. Bye-bye, Bowie. The Howard Stern Show to be cancelled after nearly 20 years on Sirius XM as $100 million contract
Starting point is 00:08:17 is up later this year. Now, this is the crazy thing. It's not, it's not confirmed. They're saying that his contract is up and according to an insider, they're going to offer him a deal. He has no choice but to refuse. So I guess the argument is they're going to offer him such little money that he's going to be like, no, I can't take that and then retire. Dude 71, I just want to take the opportunity to say this. I know the Howard Stern fans are going to get mad and there are many, but I'm just irrespective of Howard Stern. To all the boomers in their 70s and 80s, retire. Just go.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Just leave Congress, okay? This is what I can't stand. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi. These people are 7,000 years old, and they will not leave. The younger generation will never step up unless they are pushed out of that tree, okay? And so long as Howard Stern and all these old people refuse to just take their retirement, dude, you got $100 million plus. You are richest, rich can be, we don't need you here anymore, okay? You can go, plus you're a shell of your former self.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Now, what's really interesting. is that they say in the article that it seems like politics absolutely plays a role in this. I would assume, much like Stephen Colbert. I don't know, they're just talking about his getting marriage at the bottom. They say that at some point in the article, here you go. After you saw what happened to Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going. Another source said Stern's political leanings are also not working in his favor. If Sirius isn't going to give Stern a good offer, I don't think it would have anything to do with his ratings.
Starting point is 00:09:45 it's more likely everything to do with the political climate that's amazing dude decided to go full Democrat full woke full you know oh no I can't defend you because according to reports he didn't want to offend his A list or buddies
Starting point is 00:10:00 yeah it doesn't seem like he needed to do that either what's interesting is like it would have been weird and then we were talking about before the show like if he was still doing the shock jock thing like into his 60s and he's like he's pulling out his AARP card while doing the same type of crap he was doing when he was in his 30 that wouldn't work either, but that's not the same thing as kind of planting your flag politically and turning it into something that it doesn't need to be.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Like you can do a political stuff that still leans into the audience that's there for like drive time radio. But he also has like well over 100 employees and he's like of that contract. I think I, okay, I saw estimates anywhere from 77 to 200, 25 to 35 on the main production team and plenty more for post production and after. So with that many writers, that many producers, like, that's the same thing with Colbert, right? Like, they have these huge contracts, but he's paying those employees out of those contracts. Like, every time you see Stephen Colbert do a bit where he holds up, like, some article or something, like, some dude had to pace that out there, and that dude probably makes $150K a year to do, like, one thing.
Starting point is 00:11:05 So it's just that the art form itself is different, and the way it's done now, it's modernized, and it's been streamlined. I do wonder if you guys think that the situation with Howard Stern is because people have gone to different formats for their entertainment, you know, podcasts as opposed to listening to XM Radio or any kind of radio now, or if you think that it's something to do with the fact that he's gotten so soft and predictable in his old age. I think it's probably all the factors. I mean, you got to think about Howard Stern, how he became big and all the shock docs and talk radio hosts. I mean, because it was, he came up at the same time of Rush Limbaugh. And Rush Limbaugh, when he first came out, was considered a shock jock himself, much more so
Starting point is 00:11:49 in saying more offensive things that he would say 30 years later. But all these guys came out and they were speaking for the man on the street and saying the things that he wished he could say with Howard Stern, whether it was more inappropriate humor or are with Rush Limbaal saying politically incorrect things. They were all speaking for that man on the street who's coming back from a hard work or a hard day at work, at the construction site or something, these were not meant to be liberal people who wanted to hear the same rants they heard from MSNBC. And now what he is, he's just old and sounds like an angry MSNBC viewer, and no one wants
Starting point is 00:12:27 to listen to that on their way back home. And if the liberals who are there, they're listening to podcasts. They're not listening to Howard Stern. And they think he's a male chauvinist and a pig. They don't care about his new turn. They want somebody else. So there's not really that much of an audience for him anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:43 And the only people that have serious XM just bought cars and they have the three-month free subscription. And Phil. Yeah, I do. Fox News is that's why. But it's worth the low price so that way you can listen to like Brett Bear. I think they said that at his highest, his audience was 20 million listeners or 20 million viewers and now it's down to like 125,000. It was big.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But remember at the time, you're still dealing with a situation where Grab a coffee and discover Vegas-level excitement with BetMGM Casino.

Starting point is 00:14:09 He kind of had a captive audience, right? There weren't so many options. You didn't have cell phones or, you know, computers in your pocket where you could stream whatever you wanted to at any given time. It was, okay, it's Howard Stern or whoever is competing with Howard Stern in that time slot in the car. That was it. You only had the radio.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So 20 million people, sure, it was huge, absolutely. But it was because of, or at least partly because of the fact that the options were so limited. So what it was with TV. Like the worst TV show in 1998 got, ratings that would absolutely obliterate anything that's coming out right now? Oh, dude. Like, they would get canceled. It was getting 20 million.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Like shows in the 90s would get canceled on the numbers of the greatest television show of the year in 2025. I mean, there's a bunch of shows that I liked on Fox. It was like, the show wasn't doing well enough. It was only getting six or seven million. And today it's like 200,000.
Starting point is 00:15:01 They said that about the X-Files. He was like only 10 million viewers per episode, like in the... That's crazy. But it was because you were comparing it to everybody else. Now, it's wild to think that there will never be another Howard Stern. There will never be not even like Bill Maher, even where Tucker Carlson was. They're not getting that back. And it's funny because Fox News has this big viewership, but with all due respect to the Fox
Starting point is 00:15:26 crew, their viewers are 70. To be fair, slightly younger than MSNBC and CNN, they're like 68. But still, Howard Stern, like, okay, let's try this. what was the average age of a Howard Stern listener in like the 90s? When was his peak? It was like the 90s, right? I'm in their 30s.
Starting point is 00:15:45 So they're in their mid to late 60s now. Yeah. Yeah, they're not buying stuff. They likely own several homes. Not all of them, but many of them. That's boomers. They do. A lot of corporate equities.
Starting point is 00:15:57 What is he selling to him? What product is he selling to him? No idea. So the advertisers will come to Howard Stern or serious. I got to be honest. I don't know anybody who has. serious. Do you? Phil? Me? You have serious? I do. I have it
Starting point is 00:16:10 in my... Well, you're old, though, so... Yeah, I am old. I got it... I've got it. Old people do love Sirius. I got it for the, for Fox News. That's literally the only thing I listen to in the car is the news. So... But Fox News? Yeah, Fox News. Just want to hear that sweet Jesse Waters. Well, it's... I like Red Bear.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Oh. The, you know... Jesse Waters, but all right. Yeah, Jesse Waters... I'm just trying to butt up Jesse, because I'm going to show soon. Oh, are you? There you go. Jesse, you're great. We love it. Sirs has, like, 30 soft rock channels. Yeah, they literally have every boomer music genre possible. I think they have like a yacht rock. Oh, the yacht channel is awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I will not, that you guys, yacht rock is great. I will not let anyone dog out yacht rock. It is wonderful. We're not criticizing it. We're just saying that the primary audience for it is not in their 20s and 30s. Definitely not. The bumper for the Yot Rock channel, it's, your pillows are monogrammed, aren't they? Awesome.
Starting point is 00:17:05 So that's what Howard's starting. now has to compete with. He's got to compete with 30 channels dedicated to all the boomers' favorite music genres. And does MSNBC even have a channel on series? I believe they do, yes. But it probably doesn't get nearly the amount of traffic that Fox News
Starting point is 00:17:20 is. I believe you're correct. You have to go watch the Howard's turn interview with Biden from last year. Biden looks dead. He looks like he's been stuffed and he's just being held up there by like some type of like wires. He doesn't even look alive in Howard
Starting point is 00:17:36 Stern is just glazing him. I like to imagine that there's some kind of shadow monster that we can't is imperceptible and it's holding Biden up and it's got this gigantic grin and it's like, you know, like maybe like Riuke from Death Note or something. That's a good way to explain it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sir. I was going to say the thing about Howard Stern along with all of all of these other shows
Starting point is 00:17:57 that target 70-year-olds, it's the only demographic that hates Trump. So if Howard Stern does get canceled, what's what's that going to do to the pro and anti-Trump? narrative. All those people are like protesting in Charlestown are just going to be crushed. Bro, they're all like 70. Yeah, no, but there's sometimes more, but they're like 70. They're all old. It's so crazy. But I think of Howard Stern is like representative of Gen X for some reason. Like not 70. I mean, he is a boomer, but his audience, I think, what has been. Like, I think like, when did private parts come out? Like, 1999 or something like that? I think, I think of him as making content for Gen X, not boomers. Yeah. But he lost his Gen Xers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Because all those people are like pro-Trump and don't want a liberal lecturing them from this. They want funny jokes. They want light-hearted humor. They don't want to hear a screed from what he just watched in MSNBC, which it is what it is now. It's not funny. It's the same with Colbert. Colbert wasn't funny at all. That's what boomers love to have comedy done by people who did blackface back in the day.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Howard Stern and who's the other? Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, they love dudes who did blackface back in the day. Sarah Silverman wore the Nazi outfit with the Swazi like actually not like a fake one or whatever it was legit the Swazi It's like where did you get that
Starting point is 00:19:13 I mean it used to be where people didn't freak out about that Honestly I bet you could get it in any Hollywood costume shop Oh yeah Yeah I told the story when I went to Austin We went to an antique store it's like a famous antique store And the dude working mine in the counter had a key chain with swastika on it They had a whole section of swastikas
Starting point is 00:19:30 And I was just kind of like looking everything Like what is going on in this place and I went to the guy and I asked him and he got almost offended. I was like, how come you got swastika's anywhere in you? And he got kind of mad and he was like, this was not the Nazis, okay? This was a symbol used in America and around the world
Starting point is 00:19:46 and he was like, before the Nazis took it. And I was like, whoa, whoa, okay, dude. I was like, okay, man. If you want to find Nazi memorabilia, go to gun shows. No kidding around. Have you seen the... It's just a free speech symbol there.
Starting point is 00:20:02 No, they're just like, man, I like World War. Two. Have you seen the meme of dokes from Dexter? It's like the I Can't Prove It meme where he's making the face at Dexter like this. And it's like the one, it says like, when my mailman sees that I order so much stuff from World War II memorabilia.com. Yeah, the swastika like screwed me over in college because my roommates were Hindu.
Starting point is 00:20:24 So they had like, oh, man. Yeah, my RA walks in. He's like, dude, what's the Hindu? It's not a religious symbol. Yeah. And it's like halfway in the room. so it's like kind of on your side of the door. Yeah, I'm like, I can't explain. No.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And now you just be like, what? Yeah. What? All right, everybody. Here we go. We've got huge news from the Post-Millennial. More money is being bet on lady toys at the WNBA than on the games themselves. I kid you not.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So we checked this. Polymarkets got a tweet up. They said, breaking WNBA getting betting volume on adult lady toys, surpasses betting volume for. who will win the game. And so I immediately pulled this one up when you Google search it, and it says another lady toy thrown at WNBA game
Starting point is 00:21:14 by August 10th. But the funny thing is it is August 6th, and I could not but notice it has greater than 99% chance, which means it literally happened. And yes, it literally happened. People are now, they put a ban on bags because everybody is bringing these lady toys and just chucking him on the court.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Who was it like Sophie Cunningham? Was like stop throwing dildos at us because you're going to get us hurt? And then she retweeted, yeah. Yeah, she tweeted. That didn't work out. She got hit with one. Did she really?
Starting point is 00:21:47 Maybe she, like that's, she was targeted. Yeah, she was a poor thing. For real, I got to pull that up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was right at her feet. I couldn't tell if she was just being a good sport about it. I'm waiting for security is going to jump on it like a grenade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:01 So the funny thing is, I saw that it spiked at August 5th, at 1045, it jumped to 99. And I'm like, that means it happened. That this, and it says the market will resolve, yes, if a dildo is thrown onto the court during a WNBA game between August 4th and August 10th. And it says, outcome proposed, yes. No dispute, final outcome, yes. You know, they got paid.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Guess what? Now you can better in the color. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm sorry. This is the date. This is the date. Have they all been green so far? No.
Starting point is 00:22:30 No, I think it was a blue one. I don't know. But here's another one. It's, um, you can make a bets on, uh, August 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, um, Andy was telling me, my homie here that you can bet on the color. But the crazy thing is, if you go on polymarket, okay, do not do this. Do not. People listen at home.
Starting point is 00:22:51 But if you want a polymarket right now, okay, on, so as of the seventh, there's a 47% yes, it will happen. Okay. So if you, if you buy, you. yes, okay? If, I'm just, I'll be very carefuler, if a person buys yes for the seventh and then goes to a game and then chooses of their own volition to Huck A Dildo on the court, they will have won that bet, guaranteeing they will double their money.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Do not do this. But that's what's so dumb about this is being able to make a bet on something you can control the outcome of. You know, just as an aside, I remember when we were hanging out the casino during the, I think the Super Bowl this year or last year and you can bend the color of the Gatorade as they do every year and I'm like, that means that there are people who chose the color or
Starting point is 00:23:40 saw the color can't just go make bets and get free money. And then what? This is silly. This is silly, but I just want to say the WNBA is a clown show. It is you know, look, Foxy boxing has its place. Okay?
Starting point is 00:23:57 You know what you get when you go see Foxy boxing. Laundrae football. And lingerie football has its place. You know what you get. The problem with this is with the WNBA, you don't even get Foxy boxing. Like, look, I buy a ticket because I want to see Caitlin Clark could boom, just battered and beaten, right?
Starting point is 00:24:13 That's what people are paying tickets for. I'm not even joking. I'm being somewhat facetious, but people literally are watching these compilation videos on YouTube of Caitlin Clark getting beaten. The problem is, even if that's what you wanted, next thing you know, someone throws a dildo on the court, and it's
Starting point is 00:24:29 just next they're going to brand an elephant juggling or some nonsense. All the stories I've heard about the WMBA in the last two weeks have nothing to do with the actual sport. It was this, it was the other stories about this, it was the story about the ladies wig
Starting point is 00:24:45 getting snatched. And it was Angel Reese saying, like, you make $1,400 in a week, I make $1,400 in seven days. I still have no idea if that was real or not. When I read a quote, I just assume it's fake. I have no idea whether that was real or not.
Starting point is 00:25:00 But, you know, they've kind of found their own market here. You know, none of these people have to actually play good basketball. No. There was something going around this week where Michelle Obama called sports, called ESPN, reality TV for men. But this is way funnier than anything that ESPN can do. I do love that family guy joke where they did a cutaway gag to a WNBA game. And there's like, so-and-so misses another three-pointer but got close. That's why she commands $60,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And then they were like, but Jim, is that amount of money worth it to be so unattractive? Well, that's for the fan to decide. And there's an ostrich sitting in the stands. It was like the Mavericks mascot makes like twice what they make in the year. Dude, I am offended at the existence of the WNBA. I can't even remember. Oh, yeah, it was the other one. It was the pay us what you owe us shirts, which is technically zero or you actually owe them.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah, they give us money back. Yeah. Like, I get paid. I mean, the fact that they say the whole. whole you know pay us what you owe us it's you'd think that someone would have said this is a terrible idea like you're subsidized by the NBA so literally you owe the WNBA money for allowing you to play the fact that they get paid is is it's ridiculous should be pay us what you owe Caitlin Clark because Caitlin Clark's the one that actually brings in money it's almost
Starting point is 00:26:23 yeah but look like I don't think it is her capabilities that is generating the press it's her getting beaten. I mean, I don't know if I necessarily believe it. I think that it's that may be true for the online discourse, but she's filling the actual stadiums and they're not showing up there. There's not bum fights for the WMBA. In college, she became
Starting point is 00:26:43 the big star. Why, she just Americans decided to like her. She's like the girl next door. It's not the nappy-headed hose that Don Imas famously got in trouble. A rival of Howard Stern, it's a normal girl next door. Everyone can root and then she gets in the UNBA and the women Don Imas described then took the revenge
Starting point is 00:27:05 and are now beating the crap out of her every... She got the big balls treatment. Yeah, so she gets the big ball treatment every day on the court. You know, the reasonably attractive WNBA stars are getting, you know, deals with Arbys and stuff like that, you know, but... Yeah, like, Sophie Cunningham, we were just talking about it. I think it was her that was like after a game or something, they posted a picture of her in a bathing suit and it was like, she had a great game today, and everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:27:27 could you imagine if the Warriors posted a picture of Draymond on, like an assistant? speed him after a great day. They should consider that. I don't think Raymond would be up for that, but maybe. We did get kind of screwed out of the fact that this didn't happen when Howard Stern was in his prime. He could be contributing gold material back in the 90s if
Starting point is 00:27:43 this was going on. There's a clip that went viral from his show, considering they're talking about canceling him, where he was talking to, I think, was it Anna Nicole? I can't remember. But he tells her that he thinks she weighs 300 pounds. And she's like, Howard. And then he says something like, if you get on the
Starting point is 00:27:59 scale. I'll show you my, if you know what I mean. He actually goes there. I'm trying to keep it a little friendly friendly. But I'm just thinking to myself, this guy was getting 20 million in the ratings. Like they were putting on the radio and he legit said to a woman, I think you weigh 300 pounds, get on the scale and I'll show you my ding-dong. And that was, that was the 90s. He was like making- What happened to millennials? Like, just, just please, did someone like dangle them over a vat of acid? Spock parents. Yeah. But we had this, we had Howard Stern when we were kids. Like, what, what? It's South Park, too. We had South Park, too. We had South Park, Simpsons, family guy, all of these things were horribly offensive.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And then millennials grew up to be like, don't say naughty word. Well, I mean, I think that it probably has something to do with the fact that once everyone had the cell phone in their pocket and you could do internet pylons, it became, oh, you know, don't say that. Don't say these edgy things because you'll have a boatload of people. And even a boatload of people could be 30 people, but it feels like a lot of people when it's, you know, the same 30 people that are just, you know, consistently. filling your timeline with you're a bad person, you're a bad person. So I think that it's probably a lot has to do with the internet. Grab a coffee and discover Vegas-level excitement with BedMGM Casino.

Starting point is 00:30:06 Like 30 people say bad stuff about your show or your movie or your company and they freak out and then not realizing that there's 100,000 more that are not saying anything. So that math doesn't always work for people. You couldn't be allowed on the air saying that stuff. I mean, WMBA doesn't even allow their fans to boo or jeer because we're talking about the girl who had her wig pulled off her weave. and somebody was making fun of her and they sent security out
Starting point is 00:30:29 to escort a fan and it's like can you imagine going to sporting event where you can't yeah I don't know if they're really fans they just kind of hope that some type of object falls on the court and they can laugh about it
Starting point is 00:30:42 but they had to escort them out I have a Simpsons reference for everything it's the episode where they're taunting Darryry you guys remember this one and they're like strawberry and then Marge is like that's kind of mean and they're like no I'm the professional athletes, they can take it, and then it chose strawberry crying.
Starting point is 00:30:58 But see, the thing is, the joke was that they actually can take it. So when the Simpsons were making fun of this, they were like, wouldn't it be funny if they actually could not? Well, now we have the WNBA, so I want to give it up the Simpsons who accurately predicted once again, some kind of phenomenon.
Starting point is 00:31:14 They're actually kicking people out for making fun of a woman whose wig got pulled off. This happened in baseball this year when a player got, like, somebody insulted his mom who died like five years earlier and the player got banned for life, or the fan got banned for life. That's a little different, I guess.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yeah. I mean, depends. It's a line, I suppose. I mean, there's a line there, but it's a lot of people are going to say, like, look, you're making millions of dollars a year. Your job is to be literally a stone. You should not be, it should not affect your play. It should not stop gameplay. One of the famous examples was the Eagles, when Michael Irvin got a career-ending injury,
Starting point is 00:31:48 and the Eagles fans celebrated it. And this is like 25 years ago, and they went nuts. I mean, that's Eagles fans. but they did not ban all those fans for life, obviously. Those guys have been probably going to games for life ever since. That happened, like, it was the Raptors and Warriors, and it was the NBA Finals, and Kevin Durant popped as Achilles. It was obvious he was done.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And, like, some of the fans were like, yeah, we're going to actually have a chance of winning now. And, like, Drake had to, like, do this performative, like, no, oh. And it was, like, the funniest thing ever. Because I was, like, everyone was like, no, we have a chance now. Kevin Durant's hurt. This is great.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Everyone had to pretend, like, it was this great tragedy. Yeah, no one got banned. Here we got another... Wait, I mean, shouldn't this have already been passed? So WNBA's got another one. Oh, okay, so it's as of today. Oh, okay. So Polly Market, because someone did throw a dildo already
Starting point is 00:32:40 before the 10th, they resolved that, and they launched a new one. Will another one be thrown by Friday? 70% says yes. So like, here's what's going to happen. So dude's going to go in here. He's going to go... I guarantee there's a guy going to a loan shark right now
Starting point is 00:32:53 being like, I need a million dollars. you give me a million dollars today I pay you back tomorrow here's my plan and then you know I actually I don't think you I think you can do 100K let's uh what's the max bet
Starting point is 00:33:04 it doesn't even come up let's just say he's going to do 124,000 uh you'll win $40,000 it goes to a loan shark and he's like I need $124,000 and a dildo and I will make you your money back plus 10k
Starting point is 00:33:18 and they're like this is so crazy what's your plan he's going to bet he's going to go to an WNBA game he's going to walk walk in, go hook, he's going to walk out, and he's going to collect. Yeah. Well, it's not, this isn't odds of it happening.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's the 30% chance that security actually takes it. Because everyone's, like everyone in the same. They're arresting people too. So you have to also save some of that money for bail. Yeah, yeah. Like, this is risky. Wait, they're arresting people with those? Yeah, they're, the first guy who threw it, they arrested him.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Oh, well, I mean, for throwing it. Yeah, it's a crime. Yeah. But they're just pointing out if they don't allow you to have your bags and the Prime is anymore there's some creative ways people can smuggle those do you ever seen that famous clip
Starting point is 00:34:01 of Kelsey Plum throwing the t-shirt to the top level of the stadium somebody like motion captured a dildo onto it I was at players start fighting back he started no I'll show you I was at I think it might have been
Starting point is 00:34:14 the DNC or it might have been the RNC I think I was at the RNC in Florida and this is like probably 2015 or something like some Republican convention and I was invited by a friend who was working on one of the campaigns and I had my backpack with me with my laptop and my computer and I got stopped by cops as I was walking around the arena
Starting point is 00:34:33 like taking pictures and stuff posting on X and the cops told me that they had to search my bag because someone had smuggled in a double-sided if you know what I mean and I started laughing and I was like bro you can take my bag I'm a journalist I was invited here I'm friends with someone working on the campaign and they were like well to be honest like that's what a person with a double
Starting point is 00:34:52 side in their bag would say and I was like bro here you go like and they looked in there like okay all right and then they started laughing and I started laughing and I was like bro are you legit searching everyone's bag to try and find a double-sided dildo and they were like we have to do it dude like someone someone's posted online or something and now they're all freaking out and they were like someone's going to try and throw it at the stage and then I was like well I hope you find it I guess or not I don't know like the bush shoe incident times a thousand oh man dude what is going on the the bush Shoo incident would definitely not be as funny as a big old wang flopperter.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Big old wang. That's wild, man. All right, let's jump to the real news, my friends. I know we're having fun here. We got this from the Texas Tribune. Paxton launches investigation into Beto O'Rourke's political group for funding Democrats who left the state. Yes. The Attorney General accuses the organization of running a financial influence scheme that
Starting point is 00:35:50 convince six Democrats to leave the state. I say bribery, scams, and if press release packs inside of the Texas Tribune reporting on Tuesday that O'Rourke's group is funding the travel and fines for the more than 50 Democrats who left Texas this weekend to shut down the legislature, bribery, do it now, lock them up. If the point of the fine is to deter illicit activities and Beto O'Rourke says we'll cover those costs so you have no repercussions, then bribery, because they're taking money in exchange for official duties, lock them up. look man i am for whatever will throw sand in the gears of what the democrats are trying so yeah more
Starting point is 00:36:28 power to move what say you scott lock them up oh absolutely all right committed a crime you got to arrest them otherwise they're all going to do that and try to disrupt uh the will of the people i mean they the majority of the people elected the legislators they passed they passed the redistricting and the democrats are actually trying to thwart democracy this is the real threat to democracy they are subverting the will of the people, and they deserve jail time for that. Absolutely. Also, like, yeah, it's like, also, how does
Starting point is 00:36:55 Beto still have a war chest? We're never going to get rid of him. He's going to be, like, 40 years we're still going to hear about Beto. He's slain and dirt and, like, bribing people. Yes, we'll take your AR-15s. I love Illinois doing. Oh, yes, we're going to take your hour 15. Illinois is
Starting point is 00:37:11 the most comical state in terms of gerrymandering, because they've gerrymandered to the greatest extent possible. They could not gerrymander anymore. And Pritzker, you know, I've got to give a shout to Colbert. I'll say it again, because Colbert actually pulled the map up and called him out on the hypocrisy of this. But Pritzker was like, if they want to gerrymander, then we'll do the same.
Starting point is 00:37:32 But you can't. Illinois could not be more gerrymander. Take a look at District 13. They basically created this big long strip to combine East St. Louis with Urbana. Otherwise, there would be no Democrat district there. So basically, you cut off East St. Louis, you cut off Arbana, this whole section is all conservative voters who are disenfranchised because they wanted to because those metros are not big enough to sustain a district on their own yeah so this is illinois's game then i can't remember who said it they said that's not a district that's a road trip agreed and then you can see this they did the same thing with bloomington davenport and rockford
Starting point is 00:38:07 are you kidding me illinois is whack it is nuts so these these democrats want to flee everybody knows how bad it is all right i say lock them up lock them up you know to your point I made this point last night. There's not a whole lot that the Democrats can do to actually produce more Democrat seats. They've really mastered gerrymandering. You've got a state like Massachusetts, which has no Republicans. 40% of Massachusetts voted for Donald Trump, something around 40% voted for Donald Trump last election. There's not one Republican to represent 40% of the population of the state.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And it's not like Massachusetts isn't a big state, but it's not a low populist state because Boston got a lot of people. So the idea that the Democrats are actually worried about democracy and worried about representation, it's a farce. And the way that they portray this whole debacle about Texas, it's as if there is no jurymandering going on or it's some new phenomenon. And again, they have mastered jurymandering to the point that you really can't do more. as a Democrat and squeeze more Democrat seats out of the country. Like, they've really maximized the gerrymandering of all the states. How did they do it in Massachusetts? Pardon me?
Starting point is 00:39:29 How is it done in Massachusetts? What do you mean? Like, how is the gerrymandering done so that there are no Republicans? No, no, y'all are wrong. Look, the gerrymandering Princeton Project gives Massachusetts an A rating. It's a 100. And it's a 40% Republican state with not a single Republican district. Not just that.
Starting point is 00:39:47 If you look at a map of like the whole, like all the states combined, is not even, Massachusetts even border a Republican district. Like it's surrounded on all sides because Connecticut doesn't have any. Rhode Island doesn't have any. Yeah. New Hampshire only got two congressional districts. 36% Trump supporting state. And we can take a look at where these pockets are. But it don't matter.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Don't matter. Because the way you drop the map guarantees, there will never be a Republican district in Massachusetts. Well, Maryland's another horrible. state. I want to see their rating for Maryland, because Maryland, it should be a couple seats that Republicans should compete in. And they insured it just one Republican seat, a B. Oh, dude, everybody. And yeah, it's like that district should be Republican on the West, but they've ensured that it's not, that it's never going to be. Yeah, what they did was by combining, I forgot how I did it, but I was talking to some locals, and it's they, by putting
Starting point is 00:40:40 Frederick in Western Maryland, it basically ensures, because that's a population of like 500,000 in their metro. They carved out a portion on the east so that they could add the rest to Western Maryland and convert what is largely Trump country
Starting point is 00:40:55 just north of West Virginia into a Democrat district. And everybody's pissed. And then you get that. That's democratic. That's democracy. When Republicans do that, that's a threat. And we have to use all available means to stop it.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Yeah, I'm really worried about democracy, guys. We need to make sure all these Republicans do not have seeds. But there's a lot of uninformed people who really believe that only Republican gerrymander because they listen to late night talk shows like, well, Colbert is he still on air. They listen to the rant
Starting point is 00:41:23 of CNN and MSNBC and they never point out that, you know, Illinois, Maryland, various other states and what California is going to do. Whenever they hear gerrymandering, they think it's southern segregationists come back from the 1950s and they're carving up. We're not going to give Democrats
Starting point is 00:41:39 to this area. And every state does it. Wait until the America Party gets their seats. I'm going to hold my breath for that. I love this Dallas. Yeah, well, they're going to have to gerrymander every, like, all the other districts. They keep out the America Party. Look how ridiculous Dallas is.
Starting point is 00:41:57 This is before the redistricting. Like, this is just insanity. Well, they do in Texas. The reason they make the blue ones is so they can sink as many Democrat voters into one seat. Like, if you go look at San Antonio, there's one that stretches from the south side of San Antonio all the way to the north side of Austin. It's purely just to sink all the Democrats. see that oh yeah so you can sink every democrat in a one district movie fans will know that 71% democratic vote how is that a district like what's the rash what constitutes people people's
Starting point is 00:42:28 representatives voted for it yeah i think people need to understand this too though there is no alternative right none what's the argument every district must be 50 50 well that's impossible so then it's like well this one this district is very heavy democrat and what are we supposed to do so my attitude is the system doesn't work in and of itself that the way it was set up for districting for the federal government makes literally no sense and i don't know that the founding fathers understood that gerrymandering will happen it's a guarantee it has to happen again what are we going to do put blocks okay a district must be uh 500 by 500 feet or miles or something or just maybe not miles or yeah that that's it and however many people are in are in it
Starting point is 00:43:14 Thank you to have a nice day. Otherwise, what are you going to do? You're going to draw districts, and then you're going to have to choose what percentage will this district be, Democrat-Republican or political affiliation. I suppose for the founding fathers, they thought there aren't two political parties. Now there are. And also, if they're not even going with the 50-50 block or some type of mathematical formula, it's going to be left to the federal government and liberal bureaucrats to decide. And that's taking the power away from the states and the state representatives and senators that the people elected to draw the maps. And instead of putting it in the hands of Washington, D.C. bureaucrats to determine, and they're not going to go after Illinois. They're not
Starting point is 00:43:52 going to go after New Jersey. They're not going to go after Rhode Island or any other state. They're only going to go after Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky. They're only going to go after red states. And then they're going to be like, this is bad. And we're going to draw it to be more democratic friendly. So whenever they complain about gerrymandering, it's to benefit the Democrats. And they'll never go after Republicans for this. All that matters is who wins. at the state level. And then they decide what your representation is going to be. Goodbye.
Starting point is 00:44:19 So the Republicans won in Texas. They have the right to do this. I love listening to Pritzker where he's like, they're trying to steal seats from you. And I'm like, well, hold on. They were elected. They have the authority under their government to do exactly what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:44:33 How's that stealing? But you fleeing the state to break quorum, which this rule was not put in place so that you could just shut things down. that would be violating the rules for which you are facing arrest and fines sounds like you're stealing do we do the people of let me ask you guys if you have the legal authority to take an object and then you take that object is that stealing no if you are threatened with arrest and fines for the actions you have taken is that more likely to be stealing i mean yeah uh-huh so usually
Starting point is 00:45:08 if the democrats are facing the charges and the criminal charges for bribery and all that. I'm going to go out to and assume the one trying to steal power here is the Democrats for which they're breaking the law. Yeah. The question, I guess,
Starting point is 00:45:22 is our Republicans going to be whiny little babies or are they actually going to do their jobs? Wynny little babies. Wyingy little babies. You think they're going to be whiny little babies? Yes. I think Trump has changed the math
Starting point is 00:45:35 because I think people realize like the point of politics isn't principles. The point is like winning and Trump wins. And it's like, you have, Republicans have to be kind.

BEDMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming, Ontario. Confident wielding power.
Starting point is 00:46:44 And that's been the biggest problem with the last 50 years is Republicans get power and then they're terrified that they have it. Trump comes in and he's comfortable wielding power and we need to be confident in ourselves. And it's a beautiful thing. And I love seeing that Texas is like going hard in the paint. And the easiest way to please the base right now is to promise to arrest Democrats. I mean, look at what Trump's doing with the DOJ. They're like, we've got people angry, promise to arrest Obama. try to, they're trying to press charges against Adam Schiff on a lot of other people.
Starting point is 00:47:10 They would like nothing more than to arrest the entire Texas Democrats who fled to Illinois. So they're going to, it's not just, and Ken Paxson's running for the Senate. He wants to show that he's a stronger conservative than Cornyn. And what better way to do that than to work with Trump's DOJ to arrest Democrats? And that's going to be a big hit within the primary. Now, with the general electorate, I don't think they really care that much. I mean, what the Democrats did to Trump and people who supported him over the last four years, you know, they already set the precedent.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And we're now just following the precedent that they set. And they're actually committing crimes here and going against the will of the people and trying to steal democracy away from the people of Texas. And so they should use all available means. I think Republicans would like nothing more than to arrest these people. Well, I mean, I'm not so sure that you're right. I want that to be the truth. but I don't know that they actually do have the gumption to do it. Yeah, I don't buy it.
Starting point is 00:48:10 But if they're like Beto, you're under arrest for writing a skateboard out on the primary. I would support that. I would support that as a skateboarder. I mean, like I said, under arrest for cringe. Locked up. Like I said, I'm all for the Republicans exercising power because they have it. I'm all for doing whatever they can to throw sand to the gears of things that the Democrats want. I want to pull back all sorts of laws that Democrats have passed. I just don't
Starting point is 00:48:41 know exactly how far Republicans are willing to go. I mean, even now, Cornyn is, he's balking at recess appointments and that Donald Trump is trying to get through. You know, he's not going to have the Senate there to actually do this stuff. So I'm not so sure that they have the intestinal fortitude to do it. I would love to see it, though. That's the problem of, or that's the problem the Paxson's trying to highlight with Cornyn is he won't do this, but they need to do this. Now, I don't know if the federal government will try to help Texas out in there. I mean, they would try to, like, what they want is to at least rest one or two to set an example and to draw them back in.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Maybe they can, I don't know, lure them to like a McDonald's. Maybe there's some free meal or they give them free WNBA tickets. They all just show up. And then they arrest them before they get in the game. I don't know. They'll find something, some way to transport them back. It's a good place to do it. Luigi got arrested at a McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:49:40 There you go. Yeah, there you go. So I guess that's what they need to do. Offer free WMBA tickets to reward their service to democracy. And they show, and they get on a free bus, and then that bus takes them back to Austin. Look, anything that will allow the Democrats to think that they're going to get some attention, like get, you know, get on TV or or get a bus. bunch of clicks or whatever. Anything that you can come up with that will make them feel that way. We'll draw them in, I'm sure, because they're all just grandstanding. The whole point of this
Starting point is 00:50:09 is grandstanding. That's like all those Democratic lawmakers who want to get arrested at the ICE facilities. They were begging, they're like, please arrest me, please. And they did. And now they're pressing charges against them that they probably didn't wish for, but they got what they wanted. Let's jump to the next story from NPR, ladies and gentlemen. After an ex-dose staffer's assault, Trump threatens to federalize D.C. My friends, Big Balls has earned not just the name, but the title after, if you guys don't know the story, that guy who goes by Big Balls, who worked for Doge, I believe the story is that he saw a young woman being carjacked, intervened to save her, and got mercilessly beaten, but as was going on,
Starting point is 00:50:48 cops pulled up, the attackers fled, and he had saved this young lady, earning not just the name that he had besought upon himself, confirming it, but also the title of having Big Balls. And following this, Trump responded saying that maybe we need to federalize D.C. And he should. He can. And I'm waiting. Yeah. I mean, I don't think you should stop at D.C.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I think you should do New York, L.A., Chicago. I'm serious, because it's like this is a total embarrassment that our city, our capital city, looks like this. I've been to Tokyo. Charlie Kirk was talking about it today. Tokyo, obviously there's some, you know, intangible differences between. Yeah, like all the masturbation stores they have in Tokyo. Yeah, well, maybe that helps. Maybe, you know, a little gooning goes a long way, but no, but like for real is it's a total
Starting point is 00:51:34 embarrassment and Trump totally has a justification to go in and actually solve these cities. I mean, New York City is about to elect like a radical Marxist Muslim from Uganda. I mean, like, what are we doing here? Federalize it, whatever you need to do. Will it happen? Well, I don't know, but he totally should. He shouldn't stop at D.C. Yeah, I actually just, I want to stress that I find Japan to be disgusting.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Oh, they're definitely pure to the guild. They have vending machines. with like women's, you know. Oh, yeah. There's underwear and just other really nasty stuff. And, uh, dude, I, I, I'm a big fan of just Japan in general, you know, uh, but going there, there's some really great things. Like I said at a hotel.
Starting point is 00:52:14 And for breakfast, we had like a regular continental breakfast. And I was like, hey, look there's eggs and sausage. But the breadbasket were these weird little buns and opened them up. It was, they were rice buns. It was amazing. and I went to a karaoke bar and it was shoulder to shoulder packed and I sang with our tour
Starting point is 00:52:32 our fixer we sang what are we saying that Aladdin song Show you the world What's it called? Old New World? All new world There you go
Starting point is 00:52:41 I did a duet with this old lady Rest in peace she died of cancer She was a fixer going into Fukushima I had an amazing time But yo I gotta tell you You go to the city And they've got these signs everywhere And I'm like I thought it was a fast food restaurant
Starting point is 00:52:53 I kept asking like what is this place we keep seeing It was a masturbatory and they're everywhere. And I'm like, this is a disgusting country. Japan definitely does not have Western sensibility. That goes without saying. I go to Austin Texts usually he's a masturbatory. It's called underpasses.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Yeah, you know, you're probably right. No WMBA games allowed in Japan. And the gooning there is not regulated in Austin. It's all off the books. But in all seriousness, you are correct that other capital cities don't look like ours. And that is, it is disgusting that this country is the greatest country in the country, country on the planet, but D.C. is a crime-ridden scumhole. D.C. just sucks. It just does. I don't care what anybody says.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Bro, we've been going there for these live shows. We're doing culture war. May sell out the culture war this Friday. So I think we've got a couple dozen tickets left, so it's looking decent, but we sell big chunks. We've been going there. You drive through D.C. There are tents just on the sidewalk. Not underpasses, not near construction sites, near buildings where people work and live. there's just like three tents and I'm like why do they not remove this what is wrong with this city
Starting point is 00:54:01 and no no and I'm in a sense why won't Trump why won't Trump just do it I'm done I am so sick of this maybe Trump's like you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna win and then just dangle it but do nothing to get him blue balled and the next guy is gonna go ham is that his plan just get us all worked up being like
Starting point is 00:54:20 maybe he'll enforce the law and then when he doesn't we vote for the guy with the iron fist the one thing that's the upside is the entire admin is radicalized after seeing this happen that it could be any of them and they're all weighing on trump heavily to consider this and like the thing about trump is he definitely listens to people that are around them a little too much sometimes i mean they definitely want to do it i mean the thing about dc is though it went 95% for his opponents and all these they're the ones who are like the most opposed to it and it's like we're trying to help you so you can walk around at night and not have to worry about shootings at nightclubs because i mean dc is completely changed the last 10 years. I mean, it's become much more violent. The nightlife has died out. There's all these now homeless encampments, and they don't arrest people. The only people they arrest are the few who actually practiced self-defense, because there was a story a few years ago, actually I think it was like last year where a guy confronted these carjackers, these kids who were, well, kids, youths, they're carjacking and, you know, they got in a scuffle,
Starting point is 00:55:17 he pulled out a gun, you know, they attacked him and he shot him. And they first all was like, this must have been a white supremacist who did this. I'm like, probably not. It turned out to be a black city employee or government worker. And then they're like, cooled off as like, well, we can't make this about racism, but we still can't have citizens, even if they're black, white, Hispanic, or whatever, shooting at criminals. And then they convicted of them on very serious charges.
Starting point is 00:55:39 So the only people that they're able to really convict are the few who actually try to stand up for themselves against the criminals. Because most of the time, if big balls was not big balls, they'd probably just forgotten about this. I have had friends who've got their cars broken into or their motorcycle stolen, and the cops just say, tough luck. And that even happens with assaults and everything. And the only reason that this is getting national tensions is because it's pissed off the United States of America, a president of United States of America. Well, that's the thing is like, I don't even care about protecting D.C. residents or doing anything good for them. Honestly, like, screw them. I care about the Patriots that live in the city and work.
Starting point is 00:56:13 There's not many of them, so we need to protect them. And, yeah, so I don't, I mean, if this is going to help D.C., it's like, I don't really, I'm not countersignantly. I'm just saying, like, I don't care if it helps people in D.C. at all. This is for Patriots so they can go to and fro Patriot institutions safely. It's our nation's capital. And there's all these tourists from Middle America, and they don't want to be attacked and wrong. You know, what's happening now is people are fleeing D.C. and they're moving out here, and they're turning the areas purple, and they're bringing their dumb politics with them.
Starting point is 00:56:44 You know, it's wild, the developments that are going on in West Virginia. it's crazy like you know there are plots of land out here that we were looking at years ago and it was like big plot of land a couple million bucks something they're sold and now there's like 50 houses and it's just each
Starting point is 00:57:01 each house now son for half a million dollars and who's moving in people from D.C. who don't want to live in crime who voted for it and who will vote for it here and make everything worse and that's what they do it's like that scene from the Matrix where Agent Smith is like you know I tried to close
Starting point is 00:57:17 classify humans. And then he basically says that humans are a disease of virus that's spread from one region to another destroying it. Liberals, maybe. It's like the aliens from Independence Day. Yeah. I mean, I live in one of the or my place around here is
Starting point is 00:57:33 in one of the new developments. I'm the first person to rent the place. And the area's nice and all my neighbors are nice and stuff, but it's like, I do wonder, it's like how many of these people are actually going to vote for, you you know, conservative ideas, are these people that are moving in here? Are they actually
Starting point is 00:57:51 going to, you know, vote red? Or are they going to be, you know, liberals and essentially try to make this place like where they came from? And, you know, it worries me because I like the laws here in West Virginia. They're, they're, even though my vote doesn't really matter because it's a very red state, I don't want to see it to change. Yeah. You know, so. That's an argument to keep the, to get rid of the crime because you keep it. as a Democrat enclosure. These people stay there. There don't have a senator. They don't have any senators. And that's a reason to clean it up is that you can have their little bit utopia in D.C. And they're not moving out to West Virginia or to Virginia. Maryland's already blue. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:33 it helps the other states have a competitive advantage and keep and stay red. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, because that's kind of the, that's kind of this somewhat of a fallacy that Republicans have embraced is like they can just change everyone's minds. And it's like at a certain level, you got to like, you know, Eddie's got to lay the hammer down like the UN chief or the NATO chief called for people to change so accurate. It's like you have to lay the hammer down here. For people to change their mind, they need to actually have something happen to them, not just move, right? Like people have a nature, right? I don't believe in the clean, the blank slate one bit.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I think that people have a nature. When you're born, you're probably going to be a conservative. You're probably going to be a liberal. If something happens to you, that might change the way you see things. Like, you know, if you are a liberal and you get mud. or whatever, you might be like, well, maybe we do need more police, or maybe I should, you know, maybe I should support the Second Amendment. But there's no guarantee of that because that, you know, there's, you hear stories about
Starting point is 00:59:27 people that get mugged and they're like, well, you know, the poor guy that mugged me, he, you know, they start making excuses like he was oppressed or whatever, you know, he had a hard life or whatever. So I don't, I don't believe that, that it's easy to change people's minds or, or you can really have a conversation and make people say, you know what? I do think the left is actually wrong now. It's no, it's much harder than that. I love that video that James O'Keeve did where they went door to door and he was like,
Starting point is 00:59:53 he's like, hi, we're gun control advocates. We believe that strong gun laws can prevent violence. We were wondering if you agreed. And they're like, yes, of course. We think, you know, in gun control. I was like, do you own a gun law? Like, oh, we don't. He's like, can I put this sign in your yard so that we can, you know, and the sign says
Starting point is 01:00:07 proud gun-free home? And the people are like, no, I don't want that in my lawn. And he's like, well, why not? I mean, we're here to make a statement that you don't need guns. and it's like, well, it sounds like you're inviting people. And then James goes, it sounds like you're saying you need guns. He's like, well, no, but yeah, we get it. You hope everyone thinks you have a gun, and you don't want to tell them you don't.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Because they wish they had guns. That's it. There was one viral video I saw where some woman bought a gun, and then someone in her family, she was secretly recording herself, and they were insulting her and calling her stupid for buying a gun saying it's dangerous. You're crazy. You know, you're going down a rabbit hole, blah, blah, blah, blah. far right go back go back to uh venezuela you live there under the government see how that goes for you had the one i don't remember the name it was um he was like a progressive brooklyn activist and he was
Starting point is 01:00:58 with his girlfriend on the street oh yeah yeah and he got like stabbed the death and his girlfriend was like oh he would have forgave the guy yeah and then she's like stumping for zoron now so it's like people could literally be have the worst thing possible happen right in front of their face and they won't change their power they're that fanatically loyal to these ideas yeah there's a lot of people in DC or like that. There was a guy that had some, there's one story is like in 2021 or 2022 when the crime was really bad. It's bad now, but it was
Starting point is 01:01:23 really bad then. And there was some guy who built up a basketball goal for these local use to play, and it was near his house, but they would play late and disrupt his kid's sleep. He had like a young daughter. And he went out and went nicely to tell them to not play
Starting point is 01:01:39 basketball, and they're like they thought he was disrespecting him, and then they beat the crap out and there was like blood all over the street and then they took down the basketball goal and then like we still feel it was bad because you know we're white and they were not and we're you know we're trying to be sensitive in this since like this guy these kids nearly beat the your husband to death and you still have these views yeah that's the suicidal empathy that they talk about these days I don't I don't believe that it's a real thing now I think they're just terrified people it's it's more of like capture that like when that guy at the house says, no, don't put that sign in my lawn. It was him telling on himself. He knows exactly the importance of guns, and guns is a deterrent. So he doesn't want to advertise. He doesn't have one.
Starting point is 01:02:26 These people who are doing this thing about, oh, but white people, whatever, what they're really saying is, please just stop attacking us? I'll say whatever you want. It's like, what was the story from a couple years ago about the woman who did the TED talk with the guy who raped her? Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:42 That's just insane. There are a few insane people who will do that, because there's been even stories that they love to highlight post-Floid, whereas, like, some daughter reached out to their father's killer. And, of course, he was from an oppressed group, and they were, we wanted to reach an understanding with him. And there was, like, even the stuff with Molly Tibbitt's family, if you guys remember, Molly Tibbitts, who was that University of Iowa student who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant. And our family spent more of their time defending illegal immigrants and in some ways sympathizing with the killer because they were so upset that Don Jr. and other Trump conservatives were highlighting this case to show the danger of illegal immigration. And then they went all bored to say, we love illegal immigrants. And we won't allow this to be politicized. You all saw that AI interview that Acosta did with the puppeteered corpse.
Starting point is 01:04:34 I refer to that as Jim Acosta puppeteering a corpse. For those aren't familiar, the family of one of the Parkland victims loaded an image into an AI generator and some prompts to create a version of their a facsimile of their son. I don't see that as any different than exhuming the corpse and jamming your hand in the back of the skull and puppeteering the face. So I think this is all just generally disgusting. Disgusting behavior. But let's jump to this next door. We got this on the post-millennial. Arson attack on ICE Office in Washington forces agents to flee.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Yo, this is crazy. Federal immigration agents were forced to flee a field office in Yakima, Washington, over the weekend after an arson attack damaged the property, according to a report by the New York Post. The incident occurred on Saturday when an unidentified suspect reportedly threw a rock into the window of the building before igniting a fire behind the property. Flames were seen burning the grass outside the fenced perimeter, and a large cloud of smoke form. No injuries were reported in the attack. The office is located about 140 miles southeast of Seattle and houses operations for ice. as well as Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. The attack comes as ICE personnel have seen an 830% increase in assaults, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:05:46 We get it. You know, what's fascinating is, I think it was just a guitar law of on the Five today, say that the reason ICE is doing all these commercials where they're offering $50,000 sign-on bonus. And there's like no, like there's no age limit to it now. Dean Cain signed up, Superman. But did he actually sounded to be an ICE officer, like an agent? He said I signed up. I have no idea whether he's actually going to do it.
Starting point is 01:06:07 He's like Tom Cruise and Edge of Tomorrow. We need to send you out there in film so you look good We need to send Tate to sign up and go through the Let's go undercover You let me please You sign up to be an ice agent And then you report back and tell us what happened I can do it
Starting point is 01:06:23 I'm on the older side So I'm like I'm not Dean Keynes You're in the unc the unc pipe I'm unc track $50,000 bonus Well no they were also doing the same thing for For cops in D.C. Right?
Starting point is 01:06:37 Yeah I want, like, how long do you got to work there to get the 50K? It's like one year. Ending the age gap. Bro, imagine like you sign up to go work for ICE and they send you like Washington. You're like, fuck. Yeah. There's no legal.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Let's know, you're going to get firebombed every other day. How do you get it? How do you get the signing bonus? $60,000 student loan replacement? What does premium pay mean as an asterisk? What is it? Where is the, there's no asterisk here? Let's see.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Is there a cost to apply? Nope. What are the benefits Competitive? We're a balaclava everybody. What happens? We will move fast. And get paid for it. Yeah, be a Patriot. Dude, how are more people not taking up on this? It sounds like... It might actually be like you probably have to be duolingual
Starting point is 01:07:22 and... Duolingo. Like, you probably have to speak Spanish. You should probably have to speak Spanish. You should probably use your mission. All right, Tate. Do you want to be a deportation officer, a criminal investigator or a general attorney? I want to be the deportation officer. Deportation. Let's go. Your service, Mr. Trump.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Stephen Miller, at your service, sir. So let's see, you get a salary between four... I got a question for you, honest question. Salary is 49,739 to 89,528. Why? To what? 89,000, 528. Why couldn't they just be like 50 to 90?
Starting point is 01:07:54 Why do they got to make this weird number? Because you got a staff in like L.A. And you can't survive in L.A. With less than like 90. Yeah, but why didn't they just put salary 50K to 90K instead of these weird $49,739? They're probably legally required to put the... You know what? I was told by my accountant.
Starting point is 01:08:10 My accountant said never round to zeros because it looks weird. So it's like, they're just like, just make it a weird number. Otherwise, it looks like it's fake. You got to be specific. All right, let's see. The job is open to the public citizens, nationals who owe allegiance to the U.S. Wow. Really?
Starting point is 01:08:25 Just U.S. citizens, though? A large percentage of ICE agents are. Oh, it's probably like if you're from the Virgin Islands. Right, right, right, right. That makes sense. You imagine. Okay, you must be a U.S. citizen. No, you must be a U.S. citizen.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Pass a background test, background investigation. Males born after 1959 must certify registration with selective service. If you're born in 58, you don't have to worry about that. That's right. Pre-employment physical fitness test. Obtained secret clearance. Oh, that's cool. Carry a firearm, Tate.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Oh, Tate, you've got to carry a gun. You please let me do this, too. Bro, no, it's stopping you. You don't need my permission. You can do that and a lot I can film. Yeah, a lot I can film. Let's see. Three years, three years of progressively responsible experience, one year,
Starting point is 01:09:18 which will come into the GS4 level or above in the federal government. What? Oh, I'm cooked. Wait, what? Are you kidding? That's not open to anybody. Who's going to be able to take that? Best I can do is four months of producing for a podcast.
Starting point is 01:09:33 We'll take it. We'll take you. Oh, okay, wait, wait, wait. We get Afghanistan in 2015. Hold on. You got to have a college degree. Okay. You have to at least have a four-year degree to work for the God.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Let's see. It must have been attained by accredited university. One year, full-time undergraduate study defined as 30-semester or 45-quarters, or combination of education and experience, combinations of successfully completed post-high-school education and experience may be used. I call shenanigans on that. Like, I went to high school, and I was in my local militia. I went to the school, hard-knock.
Starting point is 01:10:05 I call shenanigans on town. yelling people, they got to get a bachelor's degree in order to be an ICE agent. Well, they said, Trisha McLaughlin said you don't need a college degree to sign up for ice, but I don't know. It says right here. Well, no, you don't, so long as you've got three years experience at GS4 or above.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Or you've got combined college and government experience. Like if you've been a cop for three years, you can forego the college degree, I guess. Don't most police officers have like some kind of degree though? Like a two-year degree or bachelor's degree? Yeah, a lot of them do.
Starting point is 01:10:36 It depends. I think a lot of state troopers require a college degree, but not every police department requires one. This is the problem with government in general. Like, maybe you wouldn't need to offer $50,000 if you let people actually take a test to see if they're worth hiring. The problem I have with this is that as somebody who has hired many people, and with lots of experience in this, experiences lied about and easily faked. and bachelor's degree prove literal nothing. So if you want someone who's going to do the job and passionately and care about it,
Starting point is 01:11:13 these are not ways to test for that. So now they're like, why wouldn't anyone apply? I guess we've got to offer 50 grand. Bro, there's a whole bunch of working class joes with high school diplomas who would sign up in a heartbeat and would beg for a 50k sign on bonus. Take this job and begin the process,
Starting point is 01:11:27 but they're iced out. So that's West Virginia. That's Ohio, Pennsylvania. Working class blue collar guys are going to be like, well, I can't do it. I mean, it's all part of the debt trap we're in this country anyways, which is any job worth applying for
Starting point is 01:11:38 is going to require you to go to college for four years and put yourself into debt. So technically that's one... Not podcasting. Not podcasting. No, you're not in a college degree for podcast. You can just get the debt for the love of the game if you want. We probably need much higher standards for podcasts.
Starting point is 01:11:51 I mean, people that are podcasts in these days. A license? Yeah, license, I think it would be good, yeah. I do sometimes wonder on it. I'm like, who the hell let me in here? Can you believe they give me a mic? Stupid. To be honest, these are pretty.
Starting point is 01:12:06 like strict qualifications. It's pretty wild. Physical, you got to pass a physical test, which I get. They want you to be in, uh, to detain people. They like reconstruct the border wall and say you have to climb it and get over the other side. But you actually did a lot to get this job. This is, they make it seem like in these advertisements that anybody can just get it, just apply and you'll get it. You can't. GL5 experience, uh, or GL7 plus passing a physical fitness test.
Starting point is 01:12:32 That one I do get. motor vehicle operation age restrictions are listed they just got rid of that but that was listed i say just take anybody and train them i don't see what the problem is that's what they should do honestly deportation officer okay what about what about criminal investigating i was going to be real hard i bet that's going to be like now what do they pay it's uh 63 000 to 100 grand g l9 oh gl 9 our government is a bunch of morons set up by other morons to tell morons what to do they don't know what they're doing general attorney oh this one's different that one's because you need a lot more right 80 like no law degree to go big general attorney just oh no it's because
Starting point is 01:13:11 the high school degree going straight but it's because they're only hiring five whereas like deportation officers are probably hiring tons yeah you know I I look at this and I'm like America needs you that's not correct that is not correct I say there are a lot of people in west Virginia who'd love to get a $50,000 sign on bonus, get their student loans paid for, and they don't got college degrees, you know? But don't worry, guys, I will never be an ICE agent. You know why?
Starting point is 01:13:38 Because I'm a high school dropout. To the left, you got nothing to worry about. You got to worry about anything. Yeah, I don't see why the feds won't actually train people. Like, there's no reason that you have to have a college degree, especially if it's not a specific degree
Starting point is 01:13:56 that they're looking for. It's like, oh, you just went to college some. That's like being like, well, you know, you can actually finish your, you know, finish work or you actually complete tasks that are given to you. The feds should train people because aside from, I mean, I can't, I can't imagine that there's anything particularly, you know, nest, like, you know, any, I can't imagine that there's any particularly special knowledge that you need to have that they can't give to you. You know, it's like, you need to know the law. You need to be able to run, run people down if they're running away, you know, and you have to be able to work on a team to some degree. Otherwise, what particular special knowledge do you get from college that they couldn't train, you know, train you up in six months or a year or whatever? So if someone, Leland Taylor says those are qualifications for GL levels, not requisite for employment.
Starting point is 01:14:43 So what is the purpose, correct me if I'm wrong, what is the purpose of including you qualify for GL5 grade if you possess one of the following and it literally lists it as GL5 through seven? Does that not mean that this being a GL5 job requires you to meet the GL5 grade level? and here are the things that can qualify you for GL5? Am I reading that? Am I wrong on this one? I can be wrong. I just don't understand why they would say qualifications for GL5,
Starting point is 01:15:12 it's a GL5 job, if they did not require that. I don't know. Well, there you go. But, you know. Yeah, I will say this. ICE has been reaching out to people to ask them to shout this out
Starting point is 01:15:28 and to make videos promoting this campaign, they're serious about it. Yeah. DHS has been reaching out to people saying, hey, we're trying to get the word out on this. Let everybody know, 50K sign on bonus, student loan repayment. We want to hire as fast as possible.
Starting point is 01:15:43 That's a good sign. What's more dangerous? This or being D.C. Police, because they had like an 80K sign on bonus or something. Wow. Wasn't it? Surge, I thought, like, did you see that? Like, there was like on the buses in D.C.
Starting point is 01:15:55 It's like a huge sign-on bonus to work for me. All is easy. I would say D.C. police would be more dangerous. Yeah. So higher sign. And the New York City subway, they had Capitol Police ads. It was the wildest thing. It was like right after J6, too. Yeah, no, I'd say D.C. police. If you ever got shot as an ICE agent, man, you're getting like the death. I mean, they would, you're dealing with the federal government. Yeah, there's the, it's pretty steep for attacking a federal agent or whatever, you know. I can't imagine that there's just
Starting point is 01:16:21 can be like, most of the migrants are, I guess, just want to run away rather than trying to, you know, make the problem worse. So I definitely say the police would be worse. And it could be worse in other cities like Baltimore police. I would let me get this police. I saw the wire right now. It's fun actually.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Let's jump to this next story. Ladies and a minute, I hope you're ready for this. New virus outbreak in China. What to know about the Chikungunya virus? The name is racist? It is. We can't say it. We can't say it. We're going to say China virus to make it easier so you don't
Starting point is 01:16:52 say anything racist. China virus, too, the revenge. A mosquito-borne virus, and in fact more than 7,000 people across 13 cities in China has sparked precautions similar to those during the COVID pandemic in attempts to stop its spread despite the virus not being transmittable from person to person. So it's a way, yeah, right. The chikungunya virus, which spreads only through the bite of infected mosquitoes and is not fatal, has spread quickly across more dozen cities in this other Guangdong province
Starting point is 01:17:20 just north of Hong Kong with almost 3,000 cases in the last week alone. So how long until we get the Chikonga gunya vaccine? I mean, I suppose that the... Which company is making the vaccine? I suppose that you have to wait until the mosquitoes can cross the Pacific, or they get all the way up through Russia and across Alaska and through Canada to down here, you know, if you can't get it. So you guys heard in the past couple days, you know, thimerosol was banned.
Starting point is 01:17:54 What was that? You guys did not talk about this? RFK Jr. just banned a bunch of vaccines? No. Really? Really? Nope. Yeah, I've heard about. Yeah, you had no idea?
Starting point is 01:18:07 See what happens on on the out? The RFK banned a bunch of vaccines. It was the biggest story in the world. I defer to Kellyn. I came in and Kellan. It was like, this is what I'm talking about. It's all the MRNA stuff today. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Well, that too, but thimerosol specifically, which is the mercury-based preservative, has been, what did he say? It causes autism? Yeah. Is that what he said? He's told that that is a conspiracy theory, right? He went after a bunch of them saying that we've determined that they have negative health effects,
Starting point is 01:18:35 so we're not going to allow them in the market. I'm pretty sure, like, what is this one? So there's a bunch of stories on this one. I would assume you guys would have read a little bit about it. A bunch of recent statements, like he's basically saying this and that the data was there's an addendum to date on these studies, and they're going to be pulling it out. I was talking to a doctor about this because, you know, we just had a kid, and I'm like, so what does this mean for vaccines?
Starting point is 01:19:05 And he was like, I have no idea. And it's like, okay, are they going to get rid of the current ones that have thymarisol? It's like, I would assume so if RFK is going to get rid of them. Okay, so what do we do? I don't know. And so my question is if RFK Jr. is saying the MRNA vaccines are bad and thimerosal is bad, though thymerazol was removed from a lot of vaccines a long time. ago. Do you trust the government
Starting point is 01:19:26 today or yesterday? No. YouTube said that they were going to ban people who said bad things about vaccines, but now the head of HHS is saying that, do I go with the government or the private corporation? You tell me YouTube. You tell me, because we got the chicken gunya virus, and when that vaccine comes
Starting point is 01:19:42 out, I had no idea, because I guarantee you, RFK is going to be like, we don't need a vaccine for this one. And then I'm going to be like, but YouTube's going to ban me if I say that. Yeah. So we're on the side of the government or against them. I mean, I have no idea what to do when the government says yes and then says no. So, I mean, it's kind of tough. Thimerosol is a mercury-containing organic compound, so are they banning it because of the mercury content?
Starting point is 01:20:09 Because if I was under the impression that there was no mercury in vaccines, that's the information that I had had most recently. but if thymerosol is a mercury-containing organic compound or is the craziest thing in the world to me I'm just going to bring us up from the Guardian we got a couple stories related to this one RFK Jr. to remove preservative thymarisol from all U.S. vaccines anti-vaccine campaigns have targeted thymarisol for a decade despite no evidence of ingredient causing harm.
Starting point is 01:20:42 I just want to bash my face as hard as I can into this table over and over and over again because the U.S. government made the claim there's no evidence and they all went oh, then the U.S. government came out and said there is evidence
Starting point is 01:20:55 and they still are like, no, our past government gave us the truth. This new government doesn't. And I'm just sitting here being like, the government has had both. Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Why would the corporate press all of a sudden be like, nah, he's wrong? Because it's partisan now because it's RFK. Yep. Yeah. Because people are cognitively
Starting point is 01:21:15 developmentally disabled besides the real RFK story has been all the sugar being banned from SNAP benefits and everybody freaking Oh thank God See the video today of the lady like at the counter? Yeah What happened?
Starting point is 01:21:27 She was just at the counter trying to buy her like junk food and the lady It was the counter like it's not scanning with your snap Felt bad for the poor lady like working the counter I want to pull that one up Yeah it's all over Twitter The poor lady working the counter is like look What do you want me to do about it?
Starting point is 01:21:38 Like the system literally won't let me sell it to you Oh they always love to blame the people The cashier I worked at a grocery store They would always act like you're the one blocking all their grocery items. It's like, oh, like you... It's not my decision. It's like I personally reject your coupon.
Starting point is 01:21:54 Yeah. Like, you don't need any more Oreos, buddy. How do I find this? You posted it? They always act like the cashier... I was searching... I was searching... It's like the lowly cashier is responsible for this.
Starting point is 01:22:04 I was searching X for the video, but all I was getting was porn. I'm not, it's not a joke. And so Serge had to post the video. I was like, oh, okay. Here we go. Thanks, Serge. They really own that. They say no EBT.
Starting point is 01:22:19 No. They own that. They own that. That's awesome. I can only buy steak chicken. Vegetables, no snacks, no nothing. I can't get how much shit. Wait, losing it.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Man, they really did that shit, y'all. They did? It's over, y'all. Dang. They really on that. This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. You're on it. I don't understand why my tax dollars are being taken away to get to some dude to buy Doritos and ding
Starting point is 01:22:42 ding-dongs. Yeah. It's crazy. I don't even eat those things. These companies are only existing because poor people get my money for free and then buy ho-hoes and ding-dongs. They lobby heavily. The great story is going to be incredible, though, when somebody's like accidentally gets in shape because this happened. Like he starts out and he ends up becoming a fitness influencer and getting millions of dollars.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Actually, they're going to be hired to work at ice. Yeah. Finally, you know, he wasn't able to go to college. He was poor. He was eating Doritos. Now, thanks to RFK, he's getting healthy, he's working out. The seed oils left my body. And he's now signing up to ICE to help protect the country.
Starting point is 01:23:23 I think that's going to be the goodwill story of the administration. I found another video. I didn't want to, I don't know what it's about, though, but I'm going to play it anyway. You too, this is a Garekway, and yes, we at Sam's going to shop and ha. So y'all come along with us and let's get some stuff out of the Sam. Trump's say no more snacks. I'm really just going to be a very short video, just a little tep-tack. Boom, boom, you feel me.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Okay, yeah, guys, let's get me too. I got some animal crackers for 898, so we're just going to grab one of these. So, yeah, my kids like nutrient balls, so we take on about 30 seats for 998. So we're going to grab there. So we're going to put it in one. So, yeah, we are all right to start shopping. So we got some, I would not eat any of that. A little bit, some hot tube.
Starting point is 01:24:07 The blow pops are just a step too far. I don't know. that buttery garlic spice sounds pretty pretty flame. Do blow pops even have any calories? I don't even know if they I think it's just like... So wait wait does she like try to buy it and they won't let her or what happens or she just doesn't know she stocks up
Starting point is 01:24:25 right before they finish it. It was like yesterday when this came out and she stocked up trying to get a bunch of this stuff before they said that you can't do it anymore. Good for her paying attention to the news and getting one less shopping. I just want to say this as like you look at this morbidly obese woman by industrial sized
Starting point is 01:24:41 NutraGrain bar boxes and blowpop boxes. I want to just imagine what it must be like being like some goat farmer in Afghanistan, and you see this video on your $20 recycled phone and you're just staring at this morbidly obese American like, I'm going to buy all of this food that's going to kill me
Starting point is 01:24:57 and you're sitting there and you look down and then a Taliban guy walks up and he's like, death to America and you're like, yeah. And then that goat farmer tries to get to America. They're like, I want to go to that. I want the blow pops. We need to be replicating the diets of the Taliban. I think that's
Starting point is 01:25:13 That's the key. Because, like, it was pretty impressive what they pulled off. A lot of hummus. It's like the videos when they come here from a communist country and they're like, holy crap, there's stuff in the grocery stores. They don't understand that a lot of people aren't even paying for that. They're like, oh, yeah, you don't have your own money to pay for it. Yo, let's be real, it's fascinating that when USAID goes belly up, Colbert's gone, Howard Stern is gone, and now they're cutting EBT,
Starting point is 01:25:38 all of these junk food companies are gone. Like, how much do you want to bet most of this garbage food? I'm going to tell you guys a secret I'm going to tell you guys I went to a very fancy restaurant this weekend with the life it was $180 a person yeah
Starting point is 01:25:51 and it was it's one of these fancy places where this is the craziest thing it's like a executive chef restaurant and beforehand they're like do you have any diet restrictions and my wife's like I can't have dairy and I'm like I don't do bread
Starting point is 01:26:04 and they were like okay and they made everything for us on the spot and it was funny because it's a nine course meal The first course was watermelon mint shooter of some sort. It was amazing. It's Potomac restaurant, farm restaurant.
Starting point is 01:26:23 I recommend it. They're amazing. And the second course was literally like three or four bites. It was like a little rice chip with teeny bit of tuna, a tiny piece of eggplant. What else was there? A rolled up piece of squash. And that was something else. I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:26:40 All I know is looking at it, I was like, This is the tiniest food I've ever eaten. And I was full. I was so full. I was sick. Yo, it's crazy. Like, the main course is probably like two ounces of pork. And then I was looking at this food and I'm like, it takes two hours.
Starting point is 01:26:56 They make it on the spot. It's fresh from the farm. The point is this. I'm sitting there and I said to my wife, I was like, I am so insanely full. And they've given us just the tiniest amount of food imaginable. But it was over a long period of time. And it was very little carbs. It was a lot of vegetables, proteins, and some carbs from fresh vegetables and fruits.
Starting point is 01:27:17 They did one thing where it was peaches and like a hybrid apricot peach thing. And it was like olive oil and basil. It was amazing. And then I was thinking about videos like this where the lady is like, I'm going to get an industrial box of Nutragrine bars and eat it all today. And I was like, poor people are eating like 15 pancakes and rich people are eating tiny pieces of meat over two hours. So they're thin and they're full. and poor people aren't getting the nutrition because they're gargling boxes of Cheerios.
Starting point is 01:27:45 So their body's like, I didn't get enough protein, eat more. And they're like, just keep eating because I'm not full. Meanwhile, I ate like three apple wedges this big, and I was like, so full, real food. I'm going to try to use EBT at that restaurant. After you sign a fries, hopefully they'll issue an EBT card for an experiment. 20 to 25% of Coke sales are tied to EBT and SNAP.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Wow. Yo. It's short the stock now. Oh, wait, is this the video? I found, I think I found it. Let's go. Here we go. Yeah, this is that, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:24 So, just those two? Yeah, I went behind there. That's an aggressive move. Trump ain't playing. Dude, I love, yeah, I was going to say I love the captioning all these is so funny, dude. We're not playing any more games. Oh my god. That's crazy. Not even the juice? The juice, yeah. No.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Yeah, juice is not helpful. They didn't take the juice for real? When they thought of that, it looks good. It's like... You know, they're not talking about orange juice, just talking about cooling. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. What is it crazy? You know what things you?
Starting point is 01:29:02 They got 67. Yeah. How should get back? So what's the message? Did they take the Reese's? Oh, man, that's... Even the Reese's. This is magical.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Purely magical, not the Reese. That's the most, like, the Jews. That settles in. It's Rees, not Rees, it's settled. It's like, Reese's hell. I won't vote for Trump 10 times. Reces are protein. Bars.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Yeah. Well, there's peanuts in it. It's healthy. Just for this, just for banning the sugary garbage from these benefits, I would vote for Trump, Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Ivanka, Ivana, all of them. I know, Ivana, rest of peace, but all of them, every single one, just for this. I wonder what this is, how much this is going to affect the resale value of SNAP benefits, because you know they were selling. Oh, bro. If you said, no question.
Starting point is 01:30:05 Is it going to go down. I appreciate it better than that, but back in Seattle, people would do that outside the stores. They'd be like, hey, what are you getting in there? And then someone would be like, I'm just going to get some chips. And they'd like, let me buy them for you. Just give me the money. They would do it one for one. People would be like, yeah, okay, I don't whatever.
Starting point is 01:30:18 And they'd be like, how much is the, it's $1.50, I'll buy them for you. That's what they do. And then they take that money from the benefits and they go buy drugs. Here's the crazy thing. You know, I like Seattle. When I first moved there, I was broke. And I had a handful of change. I think I had like $2.50 cents in just pennies, nickels, and dimes.
Starting point is 01:30:33 and I walked into a gas station and I grabbed a sandwich and it was like a dollar 49 and I put it on the counter and then I was like let me I'm sorry dude I apologize for all the coins all I got and he goes bro you can have all the sandwiches
Starting point is 01:30:44 and I was like what and he was like it's 11 we're gonna throw them out just take them and I was like let's go and I put them all in the bag and I was like Seattle you know it's just too bad
Starting point is 01:30:55 that a bunch of lefty wackaloons took over because that was all right yeah when you watch Frazier Seattle looks like the peak of human civilization and you go there now and it's just like Mad Max it's really sad
Starting point is 01:31:07 so decadent be monorail they have a functional monorail or did I don't know the space needle so apparently it's like really hard to get into now I guess really those were the days man
Starting point is 01:31:17 you go up there and you say I'd like to go to this restaurant it is kind of creepy what's happening too with population size I think you know I know I bring it up a lot but I feel like people
Starting point is 01:31:25 just really aren't paying attention to the social order collapse that is happening around us just in terms of there's not enough people to stay in the system. Nobody had babies. Economic collapse was this beginning of the end. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Yeah, there's this YouTuber Gerbert Johnson. He's like 18 or something. And he makes these videos talking about how like there's no other young people around. And he makes video after video. And he's like being very frank. And he's just like bringing on these other guys to talk about. And it's like everyone is noticing that's young that there's not many young people around in some of these public spaces. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:00 It's rapidly declining. We're only like 4.5% of the population as young men anymore. That's how I feel. And, like, yeah, you watch this video, like, shows the graphs and stuff. I'm like, okay, so I'm not crazy. Like, it's actually this bad. Yeah, it's actually that bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:15 I mean, Tim talks about it all the time. There's, like, what, 30% fewer Gen Z than there is of millennials. It's making it harder to find spouses. I mean, I've said it before where the hose out is a very salient question. I don't know where they are. And they complain about good men's scarcity. I know, right? They're the good men.
Starting point is 01:32:35 They can't find them. They're stuck playing video games, apparently. But no, the one positive effect is that the national crime level, they believe is due to fewer young men. Now, obviously, that's not an effect in places like D.C., Baltimore, Memphis, Jackson. But nationally, we have fewer young men to commit crime. It's not going to be 55-year-old guys committing most of the crime. time. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be interesting because I don't think the cities are going to shrink at all. Like, we don't see any indication that cities are
Starting point is 01:33:07 going to shrink. It's just going to be the countryside and the smaller town is going to be completely gone. And the dynamics can be really rough for people that are still out in the countryside. I mean, it's going to be like third world level conditions within like 30, 40 years. Yeah. The fact that there aren't, you know, people to replace the people that are dying is going to it's going to make a big impact on not just finding a spouse or whatever but like you're going to have a loss of ability to do things like the the ability to maintain the infrastructure is actually in question it's not just a matter of oh there's not going to be enough people to pay for social security it's there's not going to be enough people to maintain the internet to maintain the power
Starting point is 01:33:52 lines you do look at detroit what was that look at detroit right yeah this is what's going to happen to every major city. Detroit is what happens when you have population decline. And that is happening now. Democrats are like, I have an idea. Let's tell everybody to get abortions, don't have kids, and then we'll open up the borders. Yeah. So I think the problem we face right now is Trump may be trying to reverse all of this, but Democrats, whether it was intentional or otherwise, and a lot of people say it was, kick this off and there is no remedy. Certainly Trump can say we're going to deport all these people, But you cannot create 18-year-olds tonight. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:31 So he's cooked. It's going to get weird. It's going to get real bad. I think there's some things that people are downplaying. Like, college is going to be really an essential... Now, they're gone. Matriculation for, well, for young people, because it's going to be the last time in your adult life
Starting point is 01:34:45 you're going to be surrounded by people your own age. So you're seeing a lot of people right now that are skipping college that are zoomers are, like, really struggling to meet friends and find spouses and those things. There won't be college. Colleges are already starting to shut down. because there's no 18-year-olds to enroll. Right. So they're not making any money anymore.
Starting point is 01:35:00 There's still these massive state universities and these sorts of things. And what is Trump doing? He's cutting their funding. So you combine the fact that Trump is going after their funding and the fact that there's no 18-year-olds to actually sign up and they're going to start shutting down. Oh, I'm saying they're definitely shuddering schools.
Starting point is 01:35:17 I mean, they're shuttering elementary schools and everything. I'm actually really excited for this because, you know, I've been to Columbia in New York and, you know, I've seen the campus and everything. think it's going to be really cool when young young like teenagers are there in like 10 years and they're like like we don't go to the east wing of the campus anymore it's abandoned some say they're gangs i heard there's ghosts and it's going to be just like this really creepy run down place and there's going to be like old man franks the old professor of communist theology or whatever they call it because they're religious and it's going to be like lurking in the hallways some say the old communist professors are still lurking in the hallways and if they catch you they'll turn you marxist well that's the thing that's going to suck it the cities like New York and L.A. are not going to shrink. Like, those cities are going to be huge forever. And those schools are probably going to be the ones that are still
Starting point is 01:36:04 going. The most left wing, most elitist schools I disagree. But that's where all the jobs are going to be. I mean, that's the trend so far. Like, they've been growing. There are people who live in rural areas, bro, and they always will, and they're not going to abandon it. The issue for cities is that it's city people not having kids. So they're growing, but
Starting point is 01:36:20 it's immigration that's growing them. Not human birth. Well, they recruit from the suburbs is those kids, the generation before had the kids out in the suburbs are rural, and then the kids want to move to the cool cities, which is just a handful season. I'm pretty sure we covered this numerous times that population growth in the U.S. is driven
Starting point is 01:36:36 by immigration, not by births. Native Americans are declining as a share of the population, like, in raw numbers. Well, I mean, since, you know, Columbus arrived. Well, like, actual Native Americans. The other type of name. Yeah. Like me. But, no, but yeah, I mean, it's like, okay, it's the population is declining, but it's like these people, the
Starting point is 01:36:54 The jobs just aren't there anymore in the smaller towns, especially. I mean, like the Rust Belt Exhibit A. And those people didn't just vanish. They moved to, like, major cities or suburbs of major cities. Cost of living in cities is too great. They'll go for it. That's where the jobs are. That's what the social life is.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Jobs aren't going. Listen, whenever a population in nature reaches its equilibrium, everybody is starving and suffering. When there's just enough food to survive, you are sickly and starving. We have this with the deer every year. There's warnings that go out like if people don't hunt the deer, the deer eat all available leaves in garbage, and then there's too many of them, and they're all sickly and covered in lesions. It's disgusting. That's what's going to happen to these cities as population declines. Sure, people in the suburbs are going to try and look for jobs, but literally everybody will. So they'll have big cities full of disease and scum, which will cause an inverse effect of people leaving the cities. So it's an ebb and a flow. This is how it goes. Look, tell me why Detroit's not growing. It's a city. Detroit is actually very different now than it was 10 years ago.
Starting point is 01:37:58 It is. It's like it looks completely different now than it did 10 years. Yeah, but you're talking about like in-city gardens on rooftops with a bunch of hippies who pay 100 bucks a month to live in a studio apartment. Like the population stops shrinking. The thing is like the way that like Western liberal democracies are designed is the cities are too big to fail and they can't collapse. Like the only way to collapse a city is like South Africa. I mean, there are cities in rapid decline.
Starting point is 01:38:19 I mean, there are off-market cities that no one wants to move to, like Baltimore. But the big cities like L.A. long time though. L.A. D.C. Even San Francisco has reversed some of the exodus that it had. Seattle, as we were talking about, all these cities are still going to have people go there. And even with less people having kids, there is still that dream for people in the small towns to move to the big city. And that's just like baked into the culture here in America. And there's been a massive brain drain from the small towns because they don't, they feel like there's not any jobs for them there. And they feel the only jobs they have are in these major urban areas. And there's fewer people their age there.
Starting point is 01:38:54 And there's, you know, middle America is definitely aging. There's not as many people there for them to socialize with and marry. And so the places you want to socialize with people your age and find, you know, a spouse, you have to go to the city. New York has like its own propaganda arm where the guy goes around. He's like, show me your apartment. It's like 600. It's like the size of a shoe box. Yeah, it's a closet.
Starting point is 01:39:16 It's like I paid $900 to live in something that's as wide as my shoulders. I paid $1,600 for a 10 by 6 room. Yeah. Yeah. Good grief. Yeah. But you do it. It's like, people do it.
Starting point is 01:39:26 Millions of, millions of young Americans do it, and you can laugh. You can call them stupid, but it's like, that's the way the market is, and people are willing to pay that price. It is what it is. And it's not all liberals either. You meet a lot of conservatives in places like D.C. and New York that are young. It's a big emerging, big emerging scene, I guess you would say. The state of Michigan over the past 10 years has gained 200,000 new residents.
Starting point is 01:39:47 I'm saying the city doesn't look like it looked 10 years ago. It's no longer worn, you know, it's no longer beat up in the same way. And even without food, you can look at like the UK. I mean, London continues to grow. Every young person in the UK continues to move to London for work. And they are a net importer of food, like one of the largest net importers of food in the world. Oh, whoa. I mean, UK is the way only have one city, basically.
Starting point is 01:40:10 So Detroit just reversed this trend. From 2015 until 2022, the city was declining by large numbers. 2020 was the biggest minus 32,000, but obviously COVID. And in 2023, it turned around with an increase of. of 1,852, and as of 2024, it gained an additional 12,487. 2025 has not released in numbers yet. Like, I was going based off silly, like, I had been there several times, like, skating when I was younger, and it was just, like, that was actually awesome for skating
Starting point is 01:40:39 because it was so run down. There was abandoned buildings everywhere. There was awesome stuff to skate, and now a lot of that stuff has been gentrified. And, like, my, like, I had friends out there who were buying houses back then with, like, one job and they were then like flipping these houses and becoming rent you know they were renting out places to people because they got the property for next to nothing and now a lot of those houses have been bought up and it's gentrified in a lot of ways and the city is beautiful downtown that's even like where i'm from memphis that's happening now it's like the downtown the riverfront is gentrifying
Starting point is 01:41:11 these i'd also like to add to this however that time frame that shows population growth what does it coincide with what were the years uh 2020 was when there was a mass exodus, and it slowly reversed to where they're up 13,000. That was the Biden years. We're looking at all this population growth. Yeah, that was mass illegal. It was all those people in the planes in the middle of the night being shipped there over there. Yeah, it probably was.
Starting point is 01:41:34 I can't remember if Detroit was. If people aren't having kids, where are the people coming from. Well, people are, they're draining out the countryside. Yeah, because it's borne out by the census data. And I don't like that. It's a sad, like my family's from a small town in Illinois, and that city's gone. That town is gone. But they, where are they?
Starting point is 01:41:52 They're all in the suburbs of Chicago or Milwaukee or Memphis. It's not that they're organically growing that population there. It's that other people are leaving from small towns and they're going there. And that place has a huge population decline while the city gains from that. I mean, there is also the migrants that were going there. I don't know if they were shipping them to Detroit. They weren't picking these random off-market cities to send a bunch of them, too. But it was all dependent on public benefits.
Starting point is 01:42:20 and they would go where the best public benefits for, which were Chicago, Boston, New York. Fact check false. In the U.S. landscape has shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2021, rural areas are actually growing with net domestic migration, around 0.47 percent compared to negative and near-zero rates in prior years. Correspondingly, urban migration rates are dipping. Young adults in particular are moving to small towns and rural areas the highest rate nearly a century drawn by affordability, natural, amenities and flexibility of remote work. Yeah. What year was that? This is since 2020. Yeah. That's post-COVID.
Starting point is 01:42:56 So it's like the two years after COVID, everyone's forcing everyone to go back to the office. We are seeing population growth in places like Detroit for an obvious reason. Joe Biden brought in 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants and started flying them to various cities. But if the argument is that rural areas are shrinking and cities are recruiting from rural areas, at least economic research service in New York Post say that is not correct. People who live in these cities are actually moving to small towns because the property is cheaper, at least that's been the experience I've seen. Like, dude, the crazy
Starting point is 01:43:24 thing is out here in the middle of nowhere, we got bungalows for half a million dollars. This is two bedrooms. But if you want to live in New York, it's impossible. Literally impossible if you're Gen Z to live in New York unless you're rich. We'd have to look at the long-term change from like, say, 2000
Starting point is 01:43:40 or 1990 to see the change in how the Harlan is. I mean, we've gained population since 1990. And some of that is actually coming. And some of the rural increase is actually coming from the same migrants. Because, I mean, look at like Springfield, Ohio. I mean, that's not quite small town. Well, that is a small town, but that's not quite super small town. But it's all of its population growth was from all these Haitians showing up.
Starting point is 01:44:04 I just want to say, I feel like anybody who's been to a big city as of recent has, if you're choosing to pay attention, you've noticed the buildings where you're like, it's a skyscraper. And you're like, I wonder what they do in there. And then you notice the windows? garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, empty, empty, naked guy. I was in Chicago for the fourth, and we stay at Trump, and there's a building right next to it, and you're like, I wonder what they do in there.
Starting point is 01:44:32 And then it's just like a bunch of garbage. And I always wondered that, like, in New York, under de Blasio, he was talking about basically evacuating these big buildings because of COVID. People were leaving. He was going to buy them up for pennies in the dollar. I think the issue for a lot of people is you can't see when the buildings are becoming vacant.
Starting point is 01:44:49 You don't see who's in that building on the 16, 17, 18, 19th floor. It's just a skyscraper. And people are walking around buying food. But this is the data that we've been seeing for some time now, that people are leaving the big cities. We did. And that was part of the ongoing trend
Starting point is 01:45:04 of people being like, you know why we left? Couldn't afford property. And I was making good money. This is back in like 2018. I was making real good money on YouTube. I was wealthy by New York stand. Well, I would say top 20% New York. standards, which is a lot of money, probably half a million a year. And I was like, I can't afford a house
Starting point is 01:45:21 here. So I was like, what about Jersey? Cannot afford a house in Jersey. It is crazy. And then I was like, South Jersey, I can't. So I bought a house in South Jersey. And then we were there and the laws were draconian during COVID. And we didn't even have it as bad as most people. And I was like, we better get out of here. So we went to Western Maryland. And then we were like, that was a mistake, West Virginia. The trend as far as I can tell and everything I've been seeing is that people are fleeing cities. So when we see data showing cities are growing, the only explanation, Joe Biden's mass immigration. Certainly immigration numbers are like juicing, juicing it. But like, I mean, maybe in like post-COVID, there was a bump and like a
Starting point is 01:45:57 return out of cities. But if you look at like since the 1970s, 1980s, de-industrialization, like it's been a huge emptying out. This is replicated across the entire West. And the small towns were receiving the same migrant surges of them. And it was sometimes more noticeable, like in Springfield, Charlotte Roy and all these other various places. When we're tracking young Americans, for which there are very few, they're moving to small towns. At least that's what we see in the data. That's what we've seen. And we've talked about for quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:46:20 What I'm saying is there are no young people. That's true. And they predicted this after the market crashed in 2007 or with the start of the market crash. And they said there will be a shortage of 18-year-olds in 18 years because no one's having families now. And I didn't realize at that time they were talking about me because I was in my early 20s. And that's when historically I should have been having a family. family but I was sleeping on floors and couches. There was no way I was going to have a family and I was trying to apply for jobs. I couldn't find anything. So me and all my friends, we were
Starting point is 01:46:50 couch surfing and doubling up in studio apartments. We didn't have kids then and we were supposed to and now there's this huge age gap. So what's going to happen to these big cities when all of the 70 year olds die? They're not retiring. They won't retire. Holy crap for the love of all that is holy Nancy Pelosi. Hire. Retire. They won't do it, but they are going to die. And then what happens when they do and there's no 18, we're going to need 25 year olds in a few years and there aren't any. So who's going to do these jobs? This is exactly why Musk and a lot of people
Starting point is 01:47:23 in the tech world are betting on automation, betting on robots. Whether or not it'll be successful, I can't say, but that's the bet they're making. So it's going to be a handful of ultra wealthy people who own fleets of robots and you're going to go to New York and there's going to be robots everywhere doing everything and you're going to be like, wow, that's a hard arm man we don't is it clank up we're allowed you're allowed to do that you know
Starting point is 01:47:45 don't kill me robots i wonder if sticks his audience takes offense to that i was thinking that's their name i was thinking that all right everybody we're gonna go to your chats smash the like button share the show if you do like it we really do appreciate it that uncensored call-in show is coming up at 10 p.m you don't want to miss it so join the timcast discord server are you a lonely young man, poor woman, and you long for that eternal someone?

Starting point is 01:49:24 in a deficit, they should stop dieting and start powering the grid. They've broken thermodynamics. Keep up the good work, guys. I think he's talking about calories in versus calories out. The issue is, I really can't stand the overly simplistic, like Neil deGrasse Tyson. It's true. It's just calories in, calories up, it's all the matter. No, it's not.
Starting point is 01:49:44 If you are eating literally nothing but carbohydrates, and not protein, you are going to imbalance your system. Your system is not going to be able to output energy, and it's going to accumulate. So you will just get fat while being depressed and slovenly and lazy and be like, I don't understand why everything hurts all the time. So this argument where it's like, Just calories in, calories up, and you'll lose weight, not correct. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 01:50:08 It's not correct. It's absolutely correct. It's completely false. If you eat 1,000, if you are out there burning 2,000 calories a day. How do you burn 2,000 calories if you don't have protein and move your muscles? If you're burning 2,000 calories and you're only taking in 1,000 calories, you are going to lose weight. You will burn your muscles away, yes, but you will lose weight. So the problem with this is it is one of these technically correct statements that doesn't help anybody actually lose weight.
Starting point is 01:50:33 so that's what's the really annoying thing about Neil deGrasse Tyson saying all that matters is calories in calories out and you'll lose weight do people want to burn off their muscle and be fat with no ability to move their skeleton no do they want to be sickly and diabetic no they want to be fit with good muscle mass and feel energized and not be depressed and that is not calories in calories that's what people should go for that is not what people that is not what people actually are they don't cognitive cognitive cognitively know that that's what they want When I tell people, when they say, you know, they're like, oh, you know, I want to shape my body. So I don't lift muscle. I only do cardio. I don't lift weights because I don't want to look bulky, right? That is, you're not, that is a misnomer that you're going to get bulky just by lifting weights. You shape your body by lifting weights. If you want to have like a nice butt, you have to lift weights.
Starting point is 01:51:23 The point is, if there are someone who is obese and you tell them calories in, calories out is all that matters, do you think they will lose weight? If they're obese, they most likely will not just simply lose weight because they have multiple problems. But if you are, if you're talking about how to lose weight, the amount, what? What kind of weight? Well, I mean, that's a totally different topic. So here's the issue. Nobody who's saying I want to lose weight means I want to shave off muscle mass. This is the problem I have with people going, you want to lose weight, calories in, calories out.
Starting point is 01:51:58 No, there is a person who's fat. They're eating 700 carbs per day and 13 protein. 13 grams of protein. And they're getting like 50 grams of fat. And they're going like, I'm only eating 2,000 calories a day, but I'm gaining weight like crazy. Okay, well, without protein, your muscles, your body's in starvation mode while storing as much as possible into fat, you need to cut the carbs down, increase the protein in fat. I can eat thousands of calories in meat and fats and not put on weight. if you were to eat 3,000 calories a day in meats and fat
Starting point is 01:52:28 and only burn 1,500, you will put on both muscle and fat. Agreed. And if you eat 3,000 calories of carbs with no protein, you're going to gain massive fat. But if you don't, if you don't lift and don't have resistance training, you are not going to put on muscle. You will put on fat because your body can take protein and turn it into fat. So let's go. Here's the point I'm making. If a person who does not exercise is consuming calories,
Starting point is 01:52:53 in appropriate numbers of carbs, proteins, and fats. They will put on muscle, whether they try to or not. Men naturally do, especially young men because of testosterone. It's a fact. And you will produce more testosterone, or at least the adequate amount you should have from eating fats. If you do not have fat and you do not have protein and you're eating lots of carbs, men will not produce adequate amounts of muscle or testosterone because they're not getting
Starting point is 01:53:16 the proper balance and the carbs will be stored as fat. This is how the reason calories out is an overly simplistic statement that doesn't actually help anybody. Yeah, I still, I disagree because the average person isn't going to make the kind of the macro decisions that you're talking about, right? If you're, if you're an overweight person and the like the first steps that you have to take are to reduce your calories if you actually want to lose weight. Every single time this conversation comes up, I should say, you know, not to be hyperbolic,
Starting point is 01:53:47 eight percent of the time people tell me like, you know what, man, I was cutting down calories but I wasn't losing weight and I couldn't figure it out. And I'm like, were you exercising? And they're like, I was trying, man, it was just hard. I wake up feeling sick. And it's like, I had a friend who was morbid obese when he was a kid and he couldn't figure it out. And I'm like, bro, for breakfast you had a bowl of frosted flakes.
Starting point is 01:54:07 For lunch, you had a bowl of macaroni and cheese. And for dinner, you had a bunch of, you had some sandwiches, you had some peanut butter or jelly sandwiches. You ate nothing but carbs. Your body can't function without the fat and protein to operate. You're just getting sick. proper nutrition versus how to lose weight, right? If you're saying you have to take,
Starting point is 01:54:27 you have to have proper nutrition while you're trying to lose weight. Yes, that's true. So you're saying that if there's a morbidly obese person or just a generally obese person, clearly their diet is imbalanced, they're not exercising enough, you would not confer to them the requirement of proper nutrition? I'm telling you that if you're, if you were, would you hire, would you hire a personal trainer who says, doesn't matter what you eat, just eat carbs, but don't eat too many.
Starting point is 01:54:52 No, I wouldn't, I mean, I wouldn't hire a person to train it in the first place. No, no, that's not my question. Would you go to a gym where the guy says, you walk in and say, I'm trying to get, I'm trying to lose weight. Would you hire a guy who says, it doesn't matter what you eat, just eat a bunch of carbs as long as you eat 1,900 calories of carbs? If you're doing 2,500, if you're burning, if your metabolic rate is burning 2,500 calories a day,
Starting point is 01:55:13 and you're going to take in 1,900 calories a day, and your goal is to just lose weight, then you're going to lose weight. Again, you're adding context that I'm specifically avoiding. You're ignoring the point that I'm making. The average person who wants to lose weight is trying to burn fat. It does not help them to say calories in, calories out, have a nice day. It does more than saying, oh, just eat whatever you feel like and don't burn any.
Starting point is 01:55:39 Or you can just say, cut the carbs out, eat more protein. You'll feel better. You don't know that. You don't know that because if they cut the carbs out and eat more protein, that doesn't mean that they're going to be in a caloric deficit. And if they're not in a caloric deficit while getting proper nutrition, they're not going to lose weight. So the average young guy who eats nothing but protein will put on a lot of muscle because testosterone naturally will develop muscle. If he's lifting, you don't have to be lifting. Men naturally will put on muscle.
Starting point is 01:56:05 There is, of course, there is an increase in muscle mass you get from lifting and you should be lifting, but men naturally will put on muscle through testosterone. This happens through development. At a certain point, you go through sarcopenia, your muscle starts breaking down unless you're a lot. exercising. But young guys with proper fat will produce testosterone. The body can turn excess protein into fat. Indeed, it can, but that's through work. If you're eating nothing. Yes, it's a gluconeogenesis. It is difficult for the body to do. So if you are telling a fat person, you can eat whatever you want, just don't eat that much. They're going to remain sick, confused, and I understand why it's so hard for them to go for a run. They're going to say runs are painful and I get sick and I throw up and I pass out. And you're going to say, you're eating bad food,
Starting point is 01:56:48 you're not sleeping right you're not drinking water but if they're out of shape runs are going to be hard and painful anyways if you're in shape runs are hard and painful so i mean like i understand what you're saying that that nutrients is important but at the end of the day if you're getting if you're getting proper nutrients and you're not in a caloric deficit you won't lose weight so the point is obviously you need a caloric deficit but telling someone who has excess fat they can eat anything and they will and they will lose weight and deficit is wrong I mean, like I said. It's factually wrong. It's not an independent. So it's factually wrong. You cannot function to lose the weight if you're malnourished. If you're eating wrong food. Of course.
Starting point is 01:57:29 You can't. If you're not properly, if you're not getting proper nutrition. People who are fat, it is because of largely because they're eating bad food. Like that lady we saw with a industrial box of Nutragan. Usually. Well, I mean, it's because they're eating bad food, but also because they're sedentary lifestyle. Like if you're eating bad food and sitting around, then you're going to put on a lot of weight. And can you reverse a sedentary lifestyle
Starting point is 01:57:50 if you're not getting proper protein and fat? I mean, you can start to, yeah. By just getting up and moving around, yes. Largely no. Your muscles can operate without protein? Your muscles will not repair properly, but your muscles will still break. Your muscles can still be broken down.
Starting point is 01:58:07 So if they're not eating protein, how do they build muscle to be able to exercise? They're not necessarily going to build muscle if they're just looking to burn fat. So how do they exercise to burn fat if their muscles don't work? your muscles don't stop working like that if you're not eating protein
Starting point is 01:58:20 will you put on muscle mass if you're not eating protein you're not going to build muscle mass no okay so if you have some muscle you start working out but you're eating no protein will your muscles eventually break down until you can't work out I mean it's not going to happen overnight and it's not going to be something that takes you know that happens quickly I mean you're not just going to go ahead and be like okay
Starting point is 01:58:38 so I started exercising a month ago and I lost all my muscle mass or now I lost all of my ability to move and now I only have body fat and I have bones and body fat. Improve your ability to burn calories if your muscles are breaking down. You do want to build muscle to help your metabolism. So what's the proper recommendation to a person who's overweight? The first thing that you tell people when they're overweight is to start taking walks.
Starting point is 01:59:02 Right? Because if they're overweight- But I'm saying like we're creating a plan for someone who's serious about losing weight, we don't just say calories in calories out. No, if you're a nutritionist that's making a plan for someone or if you're trying to make a plan, yes. But most people take in too many calories overall, right? No matter what their food intake is.
Starting point is 01:59:22 And there's a difference between calories from carbs and protein and fat. Marginally, yes. Not marginally. With no fat is used to produce hormones in your body. Protein is used to produce muscle. Carbohydrates are used by the cells to power the cells with glucose, the mitochondria. So if you're eating nothing but carbs, you're producing excess glucose. If you're doing nothing but protein, your body will build muscle mass until it's natural
Starting point is 01:59:44 apex and then start converting through gluconeogenesis into sugars to use to burn for your brain. It'll start converting into sugars, which it will store as fat. It also stores fat. But only after you've reached your muscle capacity. I mean, that depends on, that depends on the person. But even still, the fact of the matter is, if you're eating too many calories, even if they're all protein, you will put on fat. There's a difference.
Starting point is 02:00:07 What? But there is a difference. Either way, you have to, if you want to burn calories, you, or if you want to be, you want to lose weight, you have to be in a caloric deficit. So that's not a dispute. The point is telling someone calories and calories out doesn't help them. Well, okay, so fine. If you think that, if the argument
Starting point is 02:00:26 that you're making is that it takes more than just calories in calories out to have someone in a healthy way lose weight, then fine. Okay. That's the problem I have with Neil deGrasse Tyson because then people are like, I had a bowl of frosted flakes, but it was a small bowl and I still feel sick. How is it so easy for you guys to skate? I've dealt with this my whole life. I'm like, bro, you had a bowl of macaroni and cheese for breakfast.
Starting point is 02:00:51 I had a steak. I feel like a million bucks. And they're just like, I don't understand. And I'm like, if you want to exercise consistently, you need protein. If you want to regulate your hormones, you need fat. If you're not getting fat and protein, your muscles and your hormones are out of whack and you're putting on weight like crazy. Anyway, that was a fun debate.
Starting point is 02:01:09 Let's read the last few superchance. C.J. Johnstone says NCSB50 is one foot away from getting constitutional carry in North Carolina coming up later this month. Let's go. Right on. Cheneh Wilder says I saw
Starting point is 02:01:23 the Charlestown protesters last weekend they needed to calm down. I thought they were going to throw out a hip. What were they protesting about last week? Trump. Well, I know that, but like what specifically? I don't know. Someone protested my cybertark today.
Starting point is 02:01:38 Yeah, you missed it date after you guys left. Oh, what? We went to Stuckies. I don't know when this video is coming up, so I probably shouldn't announce this right away, but there's this spot in, I think it's an Inwood, West Virginia. It's Stuckies at Superior Market,
Starting point is 02:01:53 and it's this guy, he just opened this new restaurant, he opened like a year ago, and he's got a wing challenge. It's, if you can finish 10 hot wings within 10 minutes, and then chill for 10 minutes, you win 150 bucks.
Starting point is 02:02:07 Tate tried it. He got four and a half wings down. He holds it the record. Yeah. They were like, dude, he, he, it's real food. I was like, my concern was he's going to put weird garbage in it to make it seem spicy. We watched him right in front of us. Peppers, that he flies it imports, blend it up to make a sauce, tossed the wings in him,
Starting point is 02:02:23 and the wings are bomb as it is. And, uh, Tate's strategy was slam him as fast as possible. Yeah. And then, uh, he couldn't, he couldn't do my throat, like, closed up. I was actually like kind of scared for it. Did you have blue cheese with them or ranch? Oh, you got a raw dog them. Really?
Starting point is 02:02:39 Yeah. Yeah. Right. And you have to finish one week. And he was, you were licking the bones clean. I'll suck a drumstick till it sparkles. Eat the gristle. But I want to see if anybody can actually do it
Starting point is 02:02:48 because no one here could, and we're going to put up a video for boonies, the wing challenge. Brian tried, he got two wings down. He's like, I'm done. And then Sean was talking mad smack, too. That was the cool. He looked like he was going to murder somebody
Starting point is 02:02:59 as he was eating the wings because he was just like, and I was like, I think he might pull it off. He's like, I'm done. And then Tate was literally crying. And I was like, I was on the floor crying surrounded by my coworkers.
Starting point is 02:03:09 So I'm from moral support. I'm challenging anybody. Go to Stuckies, beat the Wing Challenge, $150. I feel like someone out there can do it. And it's like an hour and a half from D.C., so it's not super far away for those that live out here. And I want to see, film a video of it. We'll post it.
Starting point is 02:03:28 We'll share it. We were talking about doing an event there where we get like 10 people to actually try to beat the Wing Challenge, and the dude they're super excited. He's like, let's go, man. He makes the sauce himself. I was impressed.
Starting point is 02:03:39 He, like, he blended it up. We filmed him doing it. We were like, it's legit. Yeah. And I had just regular barbecue wings because, you know, I'm a sane person. All right, let's go. Mason says there are two camps to the don't say naughty words millennials.
Starting point is 02:03:53 One that went to college and were brainwashed. And the second that watched the unhinged degeneracy of that past decade and they're saying, frick that. Yeah, that's true. I see what you're saying on that one. It makes sense. All right, let's grab some more. Let's see what we got going on here.
Starting point is 02:04:08 YouTube always giving me the business. YouTube frozen again. YouTube likes to freeze. All right, let's go. All right. CEO Fat Girl says, I don't very much care for the basketball Americans.
Starting point is 02:04:22 I don't know what that means. Is that talking about the WNBA? I'm confused by that statement and I don't care to elaborate any further. Moving on. The next super chat here is Greg Duvier says Howard Stern wanted to be respected by the elites
Starting point is 02:04:36 and stopped caring about the everyday man. But it's because the everyday man was replaced by illegal immigrants who didn't speak Howard Stern's language. And he was like, I don't want to be involved in that. Real. Imagine like 71-year-old Howard Stern's like, I'm retiring from radio. And you're like, oh, thank God. And he's like, I'm running for office. Running a zoron.
Starting point is 02:04:56 He's the last hope. I do like that meme where it's like, time to retire, Grandma. Where are we going to Congress? And it's like the old woman in the wheelchair. All right, let's see. Kieran the Meatman says Good Lord guys calories in calories out is true
Starting point is 02:05:11 but poor nutrition makes you feel like ish and makes it way harder to cut calories and work out That's my point Hence literally the point When Neil deGrasse Tyson Who's fat and obese
Starting point is 02:05:20 Says all that matters Is calories and calories out I run into these people Every day who are fat And they're like I don't understand why I can't lose weight I'm cutting the calories And I'm like
Starting point is 02:05:29 Because your hormones are imbalanced Because you're not eating protein And you're just eating less garbage But you're still eating garbage like you need proper nutrition and balance let's uh let's what's gonna we're gonna get to the uncensored portion of the show my friends so smash that like button to share the show with everyone you know you can follow me on x and instagram at timcast make sure you join the timcast discord at timcast.com
