Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to our special weekend show, Sunday Uncensored.

Now enjoy the show. likely transfer into the i guess you can call it chest milk i wouldn't want to call it breast milk because i like you know women have breast milk males have chest milk and uh yeah so look already there have been many women who have talked about this that when breastfeeding get to be careful about what you're eating because it goes into your baby yes so if you're going to be if you're
Starting point is 00:01:03 going to be a if male, and you've got a whole bunch of drugs. Actually, I think the Daily Mail might have the whole list of drugs you've got to take. Oh, jeez. This is so fucked. There's a whole bunch of, a big cocktail of drugs you've got to take. I don't know. It's going to go into the baby.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It's going to go into the baby. It's going to go in the baby for sure. I can't believe that this is a thing that the cdc is actually trying to help people do it's fucking bonus all what's so frustrating is that i i'm in mom chats with women who had trouble lactating and they were not as biological women who actually gave birth they were not offered this protocol because there's yeah i i guess in theory you could do it but there are risks to the baby these drugs uh you know there are other side effects and as biological women again who gave
Starting point is 00:01:55 birth doctors said this is not the right thing to do better to just do it formula but simultaneously doctors are also offering this to men and this is why I have no trust in the medical establishment anymore. Like this is this is all about ideology. And it's crazy how the left is. I mean, activists, I guess not all the left, but some people are bending over to defend this. I've seen people online say this milk is actually healthier than female milk. These are the exact same hormones. These are the exact same hormones that are naturally present in a woman's body.
Starting point is 00:02:26 I mean, all of these things are just patently false. I made a tweet about this because I saw, I think, what's her name? Sal Grover. Do you know her? Let me see if I can pull that tweet up. She is a founder of like a female social app. And then a trans woman got really mad about it. Let me see if I can pull the tweet.
Starting point is 00:02:44 But I was basically like, women are just mad because men are better at everything including breastfeeding and now that we can grow babies in bags we don't even need women anymore what a great future it'll be paradise just a bunch of dudes hanging out drinking beers fighting bears being bros chest feeding their babies chest feeding their babies dude yeah there's a tweet from a while ago let me see if i can i can find it because it was about all of this shit let me uh i'm scrolling down it's here somewhere oh there was the mass shooter there's joe biden's so he tweeted pop culture crisis earlier i did they're having a good time five hours okay here we go yeah so sal sal grover is it sal grover how do you pronounce your name i don't know she said if you support men breastfeeding a baby to validate
Starting point is 00:03:21 their delusion that they are a woman you may as well just admit that you think men can do whatever they want and you're a depraved men's rights activist because that's what this is, depraved. And then you have these like trans women can breastfeed and I did breastfeed my child. Despite Pilgrim's odd tweet that I simulated breastfeeding, I used the standard protocol created for adoptive mothers.
Starting point is 00:03:40 It works for trans or cis women. Two parents breastfeeding is actually very helpful and healthy yo it's true that we can grow babies in bags they grew a sheep in a bag so uh i wonder you know in uh with china and their one child policy wasn't it wasn't it the case that they were like people would kill their female babies yeah there is infanticide and that's why a lot of the girls are the chinese babies who were adopted almost entirely female because they are the ones who were surrendered so uh if we've come to the point where if we get to
Starting point is 00:04:15 that point where people can grow babies in pods is the same thing going to happen where parents are just like let's just have a boy it's better and then you don't need women to have babies you don't need women to breastfeed women can't fight bears guys can fight bears you know women can fight bears just not successful or just not the actual women i mean if it's the leah thomas type of women i'm sure she could fight a bear to be fair men can't fight bears either for the most part like anybody with a gun can fight a bear to varying i can lose to a bear just as well as a woman can lose fight a bear. To be fair, men can't fight bears either, for the most part. Anybody with a gun can fight a bear to varying degrees of success. I can lose to a bear just as well as a woman can lose to a bear.
Starting point is 00:04:49 But it is like, I've been saying this for a while, that the woke shit from intersectional feminism and whatever has always been pro-man, pro-masculine. All this feminist shit has just helped men. Men sitting around playing video games all day while women are working these jobs and like men don't have to marry women anymore no responsibility for the guy they get they get the milk for free why buy the cow you know i'm saying feminism has been
Starting point is 00:05:14 the best thing for lazy layabout dudes like in all of human history well like a woman's supposed to keep a man honest that's the thing right yeah so a guy he's he's running around trying to stick his dick in whatever he can and the women are supposed to be like no you have to be responsible make a commitment and actually do work and the guys are like okay i guess women are women moderate men like that's the way that it's always been well it's men women who control access to sex but men control access to relationships and right now both of those paradigms are being completely turned on their heads. Like women are sleeping with the world and men aren't getting into relationships. And that's why like gender dynamics both ways are terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:56 You think you say men control the gate to relationships because women are willing to communicate with whoever, but the guy has to open up. Well, because as a woman, like you want that longterm commitment. So it's easy. It's very easy. It's easy for a woman to get convinced a man to sleep with her. And I think it's pretty easy for a man to convince a woman to marry him. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I was just thinking that today, how a girl will just get like, have a baby and get married to a guy right away when they start dating. Yeah. Traditionally, but not today. Not today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Things, things, things are very different. But women, women, women want a guy to commit and offer up you know yeah and men want a woman to open up right and so marriage was the the i guess bargaining bargain between those two where each each person each party gets you know what they're looking for out of the relationship whether that's sex or long-term protection and commitment through marriage. But we're not doing that anymore. I just love this.
Starting point is 00:06:47 This idea that, like, one day feminists were like, I got an idea. Hey, guys, guess what? We're going to have sex with you and we're not getting married. And the guys are like, oh, no. Oh, jeez. Dang it. Dang it.
Starting point is 00:07:01 No, don't. Don't do that. No, it is true. There are a lot of guys who do want to get married. There's a lot of women who do want a real relationship but i think what's happened is with with the way left leftism has approached this whole thing of like liberation feminism etc and women can do whatever they want all that's really going to happen is they're going to eliminate themselves from the gene pool and then it will go back to the way things were
Starting point is 00:07:23 is it patriarchy i do not believe that the robot baby thing is actually the future because the left has very few kids they just they just don't they're just less likely to get so they're going to sterilize their kids but the problem is they have less kids but they they're very interested in other people's kids but it's not working like everybody always says that political persuasions of gen z they're overwhelmingly woke the ones who are conservative are like more conservative but like i mean gen z is it's not it's it's not true the pew research going back to 2018 showed that the first generation in 100 years gen z ticked slightly more conservative in some areas and that's that hasn't happened in 100 years i I mean, in some areas, but if you like one in four Gen Z is LGBT.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Yes. One in four. What I think happened is in 2000, conservatives were having for every four conservative kids. There are, I think, three liberal kids. And this is why we saw that shift in Gen Z, which is slightly more conservative because they are still fairly progressive, as progressive as millennials, but a little bit more conservative in some areas than millennials, which was surprising. Liberals had kids. Those kids are
Starting point is 00:08:32 far left. Conservatives had kids. Those kids are fairly moderate. The liberal kids are going to have less kids or no kids at all. They're sterilizing their kids. They're aborting their kids. And the conservative kids and families are going to stay in this space for the most part have you guys oh sorry but i do think the fear in all this is people need to understand
Starting point is 00:08:53 that civil war doesn't happen because one day half the country just splits in half and then goes now we're fighting each other it's that this is what happens liberals have more liberal kids conservatives have conservative kids and then as the generations move further and further away from each other eventually they despise each other and they fight and that's not necessarily only like the rift isn't only broadening through generations but also states i think states are drifting further and further apart as well but this is migration yeah exactly but people are moving to states that reinforce their values and that's only deepening the divide so i think mean, like we already see the divide between somewhere like Florida or Tennessee and New York,
Starting point is 00:09:28 California, that's getting greater and greater. It seems like it is. I wonder if it actually is or not the way that social media has us looking at certain things. It's like, they've turned our heads to, to focus on one piece of the puzzle,
Starting point is 00:09:40 but like take trans kids. I mean, States like Tennessee, Florida, Texas kids. Yeah. Well, they're, they're banning gender affirmation surgeries. I don't think that makes places like California is saying that we're going to be a sanctuary state for these for these procedures.
Starting point is 00:09:54 That's right. Pretty polarized. Oh, and Colorado and Oklahoma share a border and one's banned abortion and one's got no restrictions on abortion at all. Right. So you're going to have some real fucked up shit going on there. But there's something as trans kids that that to me sounds like what what i don't know what the word is for it a talking like the left has their talking points like trans you think trans people don't exist yeah it's like it doesn't mean anything it's in in my opinion
Starting point is 00:10:18 the the if i if i understand correctly there are gender dysphoric kids, but there are not trans kids. What does that mean? But what's the difference between someone who has gender dysphoria and someone who, quote, is trans? Well, trans is someone that you would say, okay, well, we'll go ahead and change your pronouns and we'll have a— And they've done that. Yeah, well, what I'm saying is there should not be any trans kids. There aren't any trans—there aren't any kids that need to transition. Yes. any trans there are there aren't any kids that need to transition yes there are gender dysphoric kids that when they reach puberty their dysphoria is highly likely to abate but there are no kids
Starting point is 00:10:51 that need to be treated as if they are a different gender well there are no kids that need to be transitioned they need to that's that's a better way to say it because saying there are no trans kids is like what do you mean there's tons of kids who have transitioned yeah there but the thing is 50 000 i think reason, the point that I'm trying to make is that they don't need to be transitioned. That is mostly parents doing. Well, I guess the conservative rebuttal would be are there adults who quote need to be transitioned?
Starting point is 00:11:14 There are, maybe there aren't but that's not my position to say and I'm not in any way interested in trying to tell someone how they have to live their life if they're an adult. You guys, you know who Martine Rothothblatt is this is the founder of trans this is the trans this is the neck he is a trans woman he became martine and now he is a she american lawyer author entrepreneur inventor transgender rights active advocate talks about transgenderism and
Starting point is 00:11:42 transhumanism and how they're the same thing i don't know a lot about martine yet but jason burmas has told me over and over this is the person that is attempting to craft a world where people become you asex unisex like a part of a machine where the babies are being grown in vats and these kinds of things i've got her book have you ever heard of the term gender abolitionist? Yes. Negative. So there are people that want to abolish the concept of gender, that just human beings are human beings, and there are no men or women. I personally think that is not possible.
Starting point is 00:12:20 It relies too much on electricity, because if the power goes out, we need to reproduce. And if we don't have gender, we can't do it without machines so we need to be gender we need sex there's there's an argument that gender doesn't exist i agree with that which was invented in the 50s it was a concept that's either man or woman um and you know that's fine but i i don't i don't know that um that without like if if you were to abolish gender that it would have to that would it would rely on electricity i don't think that's do you mean specifically trying to abolish sex and make no they want to abolish gender they want to abolish the idea that men and women are different which is completely i mean so like so sex what so sex
Starting point is 00:13:01 they want to abolish sex yeah they want to abolish they want to abolish the difference do they actually want humans like eunuch like just bodies that are giving their dna to a machine to i cannot tell you what they want with that much detail but i do know that there are people that are looking to abolish and leave behind the idea of gender and and that and it's not about like oh let's just go to biology they want to say that there are no differences between men and women. They want to get rid of the biological difference. That's not good. So I don't think gender is real.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I think gender is a made-up term. And that's what I always say. I think I'm saying some leftist talk. I'm just saying like, no, I think gender is a made-up word. It's not important in my opinion. But yeah, they definitely think that's the thing. Well, that's what leftists, they did that thing where they you know initially they were saying oh we're just talking about gender not sex it's like yeah sex is biological but we're just talking about gender
Starting point is 00:13:52 social constructs that's why i don't like it yeah gradually they started including sex into that now there are leftists who say that biological sex isn't even binary um because they i mean it's like the slippery slope they They're eventually just trying to say men and women are completely the same. It excites me to think that humans might be diverging into a different species that one will be like away from the computers, and they'll just be men, women, as we know, and then the other one will be like this hyper attuned machine man, where they're like plugged in from two weeks old that they lace their brain matter with neural net. And as they're growing, it grows around the net. net they exist unicef like they have no sex they just machine grows they'll take control of
Starting point is 00:14:29 the other human the hominids and call them like cattle doesn't like happen like in uh like there's like that tabletop game like it's called like war or something warhammer yeah warhammer like 40k doesn't that happen i think so the mars people are like that and then the people on earth are not i don't know i'm not really i don't know i want to show you guys this uh this video real quick because it's an old one it's from like six years ago and uh it's remarkable where we're at give us a brief primer on so many gender identities that in your view require non-traditional pronouns basically it's not correct that there is such a thing as biological sex and And I'm a historian of medicine. I can unpack that for you at great length if you want,
Starting point is 00:15:08 but in the interest of time, I won't. So this is the famous debate with Jordan Peterson where the historian of medicine says there is no such thing as biological sex. I just want to point out, we need some transvestigators on this one because I think this person might be female. I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Transvestigate. You know what that is? People on Twitter will be like, this one because I think this person might be female. I think you're right. Transvestigators. You know what that is? People on Twitter will be like, this person's trans and this person's trans. Yeah, but this is a... I love it. This was a prominent video. The funny thing is when this came out six or so years ago, I would tell people this is the debate. They'd say, no, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:15:39 You're crazy. And I'd be like, dude, pay the fuck attention. They don't do it. Bill Maher famously mocked dennis prager over this what an embarrassment it is hard to believe he's come but like unless you see it's tough to be dennis dennis prager's coming on the show just making things up bro what about your fucking phone and google it geez well it was the classic left wing like no this isn't actually happening okay but now that it is happening, it is a good thing.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And if you don't like that it's happening, you're a bigot. No, Bill Maher did not say that. No, but that was the leftist ploy with the whole, first we're just talking about gender, and now we're talking about biology. They did the same thing with trans kids. No, they're not real. Oh, it's just social transitioning. Oh, you don't want mutilating surgeries? Then you're a bigot.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I'll tell you a funny story. I was playing poker over at Maryland Live, and everybody at the table, like everybody, every single time, 99% of people at poker tables hate wokeness. Like, they're not even conservative people. That's why I just find it hilarious. But so everyone at this table, I ask them, I'm like, you guys are allowed to talk politics here because some poker rooms don't let you talk politics because people get into fights. And they were like, haven't heard anything about that there's a tv playing the news and something about men and women's sports came on and then someone asked about what was going on with this shit he'd been seeing the dealer is just dealing and then i said well their their argument is that um trans women
Starting point is 00:17:01 who are male are women so you know they can compete in women's sports. And then the dealer goes, trans women are female. And I went, no, trans women are males. And the argument is that trans women are women, but they are still male. And he goes, no, trans women are female. And then
Starting point is 00:17:20 I was like, you are mistaken, sir. And then he just shook his head, looked really angry, but just kept dealing. He was wearing a mask, too. And I'm just like, you are mistaken, sir. And then he just shook his head, looked really angry, but just kept dealing. He was wearing a mask, too. And I'm just like, the reason I bring this story up, they kept saying, there's a difference between gender and sex. Now they're arguing there isn't. Now they're saying, change your biological sex on your birth certificate. What the fuck does that have to do with gender if gender is a social construct?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Same with driver's license. Your driver's license doesn't say gender. It says sex. But you have people like Dylan Mulvaney who are able to change that. And Lauren Southern. Right, exactly. Lauren Southern is a dude. For insurance.
Starting point is 00:17:56 The idea of transsexual was pretty prevalent in the 90s, but it was rare, but it was prevalently known. The idea of transsexual. I don't know why the word is not as popular these days. And no lynch mob. I see your post. I do not talk politics at the casino.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Other people do, and I just typically will just not say a whole lot unless they're in the conversation. I'll ask them questions or something. My view on the whole trans issue is really it's changed over the past six years because I feel like in the 90s you mentioned the term transsexual there was what is now referred to as transmedicalism the idea that you are a male born in a female's body and that heck even the brain of a trans person is going to be more like one gender than the other i'm sorry one sex than the other so it actually is a medical condition and that's what it was sold to people like my generation as initially and i really did buy into it like i looked at a trans person i'm like okay you you're in the wrong body but your brain because you know men and women's brains are different your brain is just wired wrong and
Starting point is 00:18:53 that's very easy for me to like accept okay this is just a medical condition but the thing is that was always a lie those studies were always wrong they were looking at the brains of trans people who are already on cross-sex hormones so it it's just not accurate to say that the whole man and woman's body thing is fake. And now the idea that there needs to be a medical neurological diagnosis, that's referred to as transmedicalism and it's gatekeeping. The trans community calls it gatekeeping. So they really are just like, they've abandoned any type of, I guess, medical reasoning behind this. And they're just going entirely off feelings. It's important to point out that men have bigger brains than women.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah. It's a fact. Yep. On average, it's science. 11% bigger than women's. I wonder why. Is a certain part of the brain that's bigger, do they say? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I wonder what parts of the brain are larger. Maybe. Just overall. But they do want to say it does not impact intelligence despite the size difference men and women's brains are more alike than they are different and uh what what you actually see with this the bigger issue is we don't actually see anything uh we don't see a lot related to size in the differences we see the greater male variability you're familiar with that men are more likely to be developmentally disabled and more likely
Starting point is 00:20:06 to be geniuses and women are more likely to be average. Yeah, the spread of male intelligence is greater than it is female. Females are more clustered around the mean than men are. And that means the average woman sees a whole bunch of really dumb ass guys all the time. So I get that.
Starting point is 00:20:21 This says the inferior parietal lobule tends to be larger in men, which is linked to mathematics, estimating time, and judging speed. Wow. So this explains why women can't drive. Yes, it does. I would make a joke, but I'm an Asian woman.
Starting point is 00:20:37 I think women drive normal. Guys just happen to drive exceptionally well. You know where that comes from? Why they say thatian women can't drive so i was talking to a guy i knew who grew up in china and but he's like a white dude but he grew up uh he grew up in china spoke mandarin and all that stuff and he said what happens is the only people who can afford to leave china and emigrate to the united states could afford drivers and typically didn't drive themselves they would take cabs or something like that.
Starting point is 00:21:05 So when they come to the United States, they're not going to be spending all this money on private drivers because it's more expensive here. They could afford to get here. Now they have to drive themselves. Interesting. They don't know how to drive.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Well, I'm not saying that my family did this, but according to my dad, some people in the Asian community, way back when in Canada and America, they would just have one guy take all the driver's tests because the white people could not tell them apart so I think for a while like you know in the United States there are probably like 50 Asian people that actually had the driver's license and the skills and the rest were just kind of passing off I think the
Starting point is 00:21:41 same thing happens in South Korea a lot of the time everyone's seen the movie Parasite like it's also like the same thing like most people that can afford not to drive don't drive they have drivers and then they just come to the country and they don't have to drive so this is one of my favorite memes right here that's funny well in in the defense of women's brains they have more gray matter than men on average and the cortex is slightly thicker in women's brains and women can be tetrachromats and see colors men can't oh wow because we need to pick the berries that's right accurate berries we got berries everywhere the grapes yeah so we we juiced the wine berries we made wine berry juice oh sweet super good where are the grapes i don't know where they are everywhere i saw the little the little wine berries like little the wine berries are the red ones that are close to the ground.
Starting point is 00:22:27 The grape vines take over everything. Have you ever seen a little thing of grapes? Yeah, definitely. They look like that, but the grapes are small and green. We also have black cherries everywhere. Yeah, I saw those too. Cherry tree finished. All the cherries fell off.
Starting point is 00:22:42 They were very tart or bitter. Blackberries are about to come in. We got a ton of wine berries. There's actually a bunch of dewberries. Not here, but... What is a dewberry? That sounds adorable. It's a bramble.
Starting point is 00:22:53 They're all similar. Like wine berries, blackberries, dewberries. They're brambles, so they're all very similar looking. We have black raspberries all over the place. Super awesome. Yeah. Let's go to callers. Let's pull in some people and talk about berries with all righty let us talk uh i am going to talk to a crow first how are you
Starting point is 00:23:12 a crow i know there's been some issues with uh the discord audio so hopefully everything works out for you bro was texting me earlier hi yeah we had some issues earlier hopefully you can hear me this time yeah yeah loud and clear man Great. Thanks for taking the call. I'm a big fan. Phil, I'm a big metal guy. I've been following you on Twitter. We've been going back and forth just a little bit. Cheers, man.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Your buddy, Mark. Who? Yeah, it's been great. Your buddy who, you said? Mark Morton, Lamb of God. Mark is a great guy. Great guy. Good stuff on Twitter as well.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Anyways, question. Tim, you talked about Third Amendment earlier. Yeah. How it was used with the government regarding rent. And it has been used also in a case in the 60s about contraception. And I just have this idea that the Third Amendment is very misunderstood. Like, for example, the First and Second Amendments are huge. They kind of define America.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, huge. Ninth is a little bit of a head scratcher. Tenth is good. Anyway, the third is, you know, quartering soldiers in your house. And you kind of think about there is precedent for it in the past. But you look at it and think, is that really what they mean? Could they possibly, sorry, my cat's here. Could they possibly mean freedom from government influence in your home
Starting point is 00:24:25 ah yes interesting and that's what that's what the the uh supreme court case was about in the 60s regarding contraception the government can't be in your home to watch you do it interesting so with that you said earlier on the show as well all these companies are collecting our data and the government can subpoena it and take it they're in our houses yeah and i just i think that would be fourth amendment though although the third amendment does state without consent they're not allowed to do it without consent so by consent by people allowing these programs and machines in their homes they've consented to it correct but what are we consenting to we're not are we consenting to the government subpoena and using it against us i think that would be fourth amendment though unreasonable search and
Starting point is 00:25:11 seizure would be fourth i feel like third amendment might come up with i don't know if people like eric adams eventually say to new yorkers all right you're taking the migrants like we have too many of them and he's already asking them to do it was offering money yeah fuck you consent to the social networks terms of service, which are, they're going to take all your data and hold it in a, it's not your dad anymore in a database. Oh,
Starting point is 00:25:32 that's an interesting point. Yeah. Once you sign it away to anyone, you've signed it away to everyone is what you're saying. The point is they're taking it from, they can be taking it from inside your house. Yeah. But that's search and seizure. So influence in your home in the way you're describing it would be more so like the birth control thing.
Starting point is 00:25:55 There's some interesting questions there. Like the government couldn't mandate calisthenics in the morning. They couldn't mandate you drink orange juice or something like that. They couldn't mandate. Get a COVID shot. Yeah, they couldn't mandate like get a vaccine or anything like that but they found ways to do it i think the constitution is gone anyway so it's like it's almost as it's almost a sad argument to make i mean the the bill of rights is gone the 14th amendment is being beaten to a pulp i mean it's
Starting point is 00:26:19 there but it's up to us to protect it and enforce it and enact it that's they've always told us that too like if you don't activate your rights, they disappear. You're right. But when an occupying force doesn't abide by this, we're only abiding by the First Amendment among ourselves when we already agree with its tenets. So it's supposed to stop government from infringing on our rights, but our government is under the occupation of crackpot psychopaths and has been for a long time well i feel like the founding fathers knew knew that that the the government the document was only as good as its enforcement that's why there's also the idea that the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants alive but he regretted that and i think i can't remember exactly what happened does it mean he was wrong he said he was wrong
Starting point is 00:27:00 yeah thomas jefferson was thomas jefferson said he was wrong does that mean he was actually wrong well i mean you can't quote a guy who then later said, you know, I was a mistake. Why do you think it was wrong? What did he say? I can't remember what happened. We actually discussed it on the show. Someone pointed out that I think Ben Franklin or someone wrote a letter back to him saying, here's what you've missed.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And he was like, holy crap, good point. Yeah, I'm wrong about this. Ben Franklin. I feel like if we look at what America is today, it's hard. I know conservatives are like, oh, it's all about the Constitution. The Constitution is like, okay, but what has it actually protected, practically speaking? It actually did a lot. I mean, it's got the First Amendment.
Starting point is 00:27:35 That's done a good job. That's badass. And the Second Amendment, too. If you look in France at people terrorizing the streets, in America, they'd be getting shot by snipers from their windows. Or Koreans on their rooftops. But the idea that anything not delegated specifically to the federal government should be the responsibility of the states.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Has that been listened to? That's why the Constitution is Swiss cheese. The reason that all boils down to two different things. The Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause. Those two things can be handled by, and I think that they could be handled by with less than an amendment, but an amendment could make it clear, look, the Necessary and Proper Clause does not mean
Starting point is 00:28:14 the government has carte blanche to do whatever it wants. And the Commerce Clause does not mean that traveling over state lines gives the federal government the ultimate authority over it so those two things alone are the biggest problem with the constitution um are these where where they found i'm looking the commerce clause there the commerce clauses i think hold on oh yeah i got it up article one section eight clause three article one section eight is the necessary and proper clause is just section eight itself so the commerce clause is within the necessary and proper clauses just section eight itself so the commerce clauses within the necessary and proper clause and essentially what the government the federal government you may not have heard this before you but the federal government one time argued successfully
Starting point is 00:28:55 that the government could regulate wheat that was being grown by a farmer on his property to feed to his own cows. The federal government decided in court that it was acceptable to regulate that under the net, under the commerce clause. The commerce clause says that the federal government has the power to make the state, the commerce between the states regular to regulate it. Their argument was because this wheat is being fed to his cows he's not engaging with the market that exists for wheat or grain or whatever and because of that it affects international interstate commerce and because it affects interstate commerce that gives the federal government the power to regulate it
Starting point is 00:29:39 okay so by not interacting with interstate commerce i'm affecting interstate commerce and therefore i'm doing interstate commerce by not doing it. Yes, that was the argument they made. Which is exactly why it needs to be pulled back, because it is completely bastardized. Totally bastardized. I kind of think we got as far as we can get with this one. I'm not sure how else we could. We're not like constitutional scholars talking about the Third Amendment.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Yeah, I think it was a badass observation. Because this Third Amendment, that's... That's a really good point. I think there's something here. I really do. I agree. I agree. We should definitely be looking into it. Cool. Right on, man. Cheers, my friend. Thanks, guys. Shout out. Take care, man. See ya.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Just thinking of a Roomba being activated from that distance. We'll talk to Homemaker next. Homemaker, how are you hey y'all hi um thank you for answering my question my question's actually for ian as i'm not understanding your position oh yeah go for it um as someone who was groomed and abused when i was a kid and subjected to things like porn and understanding the damage it does. I'm not understanding why we need to prepare kids for porn and depravity instead of trying to protect them by, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:53 teaching them about the dangers of porn and about modesty and waiting, which was super commonplace before the sexual revolution. Well, I do think that modesty is important. have a kid not not go hog wild that's really important but what i'm my main concern is that if a kid sees something on his buddy's cell phone when he's eight and he doesn't understand what he's looking at but it's like raw fucking doggy like horrible just pain porn midgets being thrown around i think that's offensive little people being thrown around when they come back i'm trying to be funny like i'm trying to say like they do really weird like you know you see like in like child just the horror most horrible um i'm talking like animals
Starting point is 00:31:33 like umbilical cords are involved horror uh that the kid's gonna come home and they're not gonna be able to express what they saw with words so you'll be like okay what did you see and they need to be able to tell you it well otherwise it's going to stay with them forever and that's what that's my it'll stay with them forever no matter what maybe maybe if they can talk about it though they'll be able to work through it but then that's like what do they show you do they have to bring you a picture of what they saw i'm not i'm not into reliving past trauma making a kid this is why we made these things criminal well i agree with that but they're still there well i think something that's interesting that i'm learning more about as a mom that i think
Starting point is 00:32:16 maybe it touches a little bit of your point is that you know when i was growing up it was all like your your pp your princess parts like it was very like language for the body was kept very general but they've actually done studies that kids who are able to correctly identify anatomy penis vagina they are less at risk of being like sexually molested because they're able to like articulate what could have happened to them and perhaps like that kind of just fact-based this is your body which is not inherently sexual helping children understand
Starting point is 00:32:49 that maybe could help them if they do see something express that to a parent so if it does happen the parent is able to counsel them if that makes sense because that's a way where you're not explicitly sexualizing a child or their body or introducing something they wouldn't have seen before but you are preparing them that if it does happen they have the necessary tools to
Starting point is 00:33:09 communicate to you that they probably need some some help or guidance or counseling or whatever maybe i got molested when i was like three three maybe four i think something like that but i i went right to my parents like my parents had left me with some family, had a neighbor that watched their kids. Me and my cousins and stuff were hanging out. My parents took off. The person watching the kids did some stuff. Nothing brutal or anything like that. But as soon as my parents came back, I was like, mom, dad, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And I told them. And it was because I had great parents i have great parents my mom i'm super close to my mom i didn't feel afraid and i could articulate what happened and it wasn't you know it wasn't funny names it wasn't you know who who's and blah blah blah it's like i articulated what happened and it was handled right away. And so like, I don't have any kind of like lasting trauma because I knew I could go to my parents because they were, you know, they were awesome about it. And because there was,
Starting point is 00:34:13 you know, I wasn't beat the crap or anything, thankfully, but like you, you need to have kids that understand their own bodies and can articulate what's going on. Even if they don't know the, the deeper context.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You know what I mean? Because at three years old, at three years old, you don't know what sex is, you know? Yeah. Was that, oh, you want to go on? I felt comfortable telling my parents about that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Like if I had a neighbor kid was like pouring gasoline on the ground and lighting it on fire, I told them and they're like, you can never hang out with them again. I was like, okay. Makes sense. Never did. But I think,. And they were like, you can never hang out with them again. I was like, okay. Makes sense. Never did.
Starting point is 00:34:45 But I think, did we answer the question for you? Yeah, for the most part. I understand Ian's position now and understanding that he's talking about resources after this happens. I just think that we need to start focusing more before it happens and telling kids the dangers of porn. Hey, if your friend is trying to show you these naked things or these violent things and stuff, you know, kind of get ahead of it before we have to get the resources after. Because when I was a kid, I learned about this, this is junk food. This is bad for you. I didn't get any type of education in regard to media that this type of media is bad for you. It's bad for
Starting point is 00:35:23 your brain. And I feel like that's something I want to change with my daughter that it's like you know you could put garbage into your body and your mind in very very different ways and i think even like my parents weren't really fully equipped like with the internet to deal with i mean some of the things like the people my age were exposed to online right on all right well uh homemaker thanks for calling in thank you thank you for having me. Of course. Thank you very much. Peas.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I like peas. He's really good. What's up? You have time to meet yourself. Hey, guys. Thank you. Thank you for taking my call. Of course.
Starting point is 00:35:55 My name is Benjamin from Akron, Ohio. Shout out to Ian Crossland, brother from the north just up there. Hey, Kron, dog. What's happening? My question is more specifically for Tim, but I'd love to hear everybody's input on the matter. My question is, why doesn't the right, and when I say the right, I'm talking about folks like Tim,
Starting point is 00:36:18 Steven Crowder, those at the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, whatnot, Alex jones and many many more even smaller influencers like six hex hammer j and jeremy hampley from the pouring why don't we unite our messaging power to build news cycles and then have the left react to them instead of us reacting to the daily mail or you know the post-millennial or cnn or whatever because i feel like we have the poll to be able to do that and there's so many positive stories that we can uh condition the average american with for example good guy with the gun stories you know they happen a hundred times well definitely, they happen 100 times. Well, definitely not. They happen 10,000 times more often than a mass shooting every year. And, you know, if the average American could just hear that for every towards firearm ownership, and that could be a positive influence. What do you guys think? That's not an issue of a leading story that the right should target. That's an issue of
Starting point is 00:37:32 a story that's not interesting enough to the average person. The right does have its own media ecosystem, and it has its own stories. It didn't used to be this way, I mean, like 10 years ago, but it's become this way now that there are often stories the left has no idea about case in point joe biden saying if you don't fire the prosecutor not getting a billion dollars that was a huge story on the right the left doesn't even know what happened we often do this they just won't hear it as for good guys with gun stories they're typically not big enough stories because a good guy saved the day. So the average person is going to be like, oh, that was cool, and then they're going to move on from the story. Whereas when shitloads of people
Starting point is 00:38:09 die, it's just everyone's freaked out, even on the right. George Floyd is a story that was so big, Ben Shapiro and everyone on the right reacted to it because it was a big story. If he didn't die, nobody would react to it. BLM might bring it up and no one's going to care. So I do think we've done a really great job recently.
Starting point is 00:38:27 If you go to the Postmillennial.com, for instance, they often will have stories you won't see in the New York Times. The New York Times will ignore a whole bunch of this shit. And so we do often react to those stories, comment on those stories, and share those stories. You can't make the left hear it because the New York Times will never pick it up. So we just have to take over the media ecosystem which we've been doing and i think shows like this are making a difference i think uh i'm excited for the culture what we're doing there because
Starting point is 00:38:52 it's bringing leftists and people of different opinions into a space where their fans will have to hear these things so uh i'm fairly confident i think we are getting it i just don't think it's going to happen overnight we've got to build an entire machine. I think Sound of Freedom is a good example in taking over the media because they beat Indiana Jones yesterday. So, fuck yeah. It's just going to take time. We're going to have to build it up. I think we need
Starting point is 00:39:18 a hit rock and roll piece of art, at least one, and then you need a follow-up. But it needs to be something where 14-year- old girls are screaming at concerts because they're obsessed with whatever it is but it's like righteous you are correct the thing is those songs are typically propped up like the reason taylor swift had 13 songs in the billboard hot 100 is because they go to the even the beatles were propped up all of it is so you know look there there there are songs that will play on pandora i have no idea why those songs are there i'm like this band has no followers there was one there's one song i really do like
Starting point is 00:39:56 i'm not trying to drag the guy so i won't say his name he has one song it has a few thousand hits on uh on youtube the song plays on pandora all the time on like certain indie rock channels media outlets wrote about this guy and no one knows who it is or ever heard the song before because it's all placement and so when i'm thinking rock and roll it doesn't have to be music the media dude exactly what we are media we're one aspect and like if we could make something that is rock and roll could be a movie could movie, it could be a song, whatever. It's just hard. I mean, Daily Wire is trying to do that.
Starting point is 00:40:29 You guys are doing stuff as well with music. I think it's starting to happen. So when we make a movie that's as globally groundbreaking as Brokeback Mountain, and it's on Daily Wire, and all these companies are supporting it, but it's people that we know. Okay, how about Citizen Kane? As good as citizen kane
Starting point is 00:40:45 too yeah thank you but something like that that's just like as socially conscious as that that gets through to the core of what we are what right so it is possible to have a viral hit outside the machine it's been done several times we want those things they're not easy to accomplish but that's why we do what we do. So we've got a couple songs coming out soon. We've got one song is done, Eyes of Advice. Music video is in the works. Ian has committed, made a pledge and promise
Starting point is 00:41:14 to everyone to do one of the most dramatic Hollywood-style transformations for the video. We're very excited. Are you cutting your hair? No. Maybe. No, I'm not. I'm getting ripped. I'm going to be 170 pounds of pure fucking muscle i tweeted it on uh twitter i had it's my pin post my new year's resolution i'm gonna get muscular this year and like a month ago i was like i'm so down done with this bullshit
Starting point is 00:41:35 trying to be something i'm not i took it off like i'm happy with who i am as skinny and as soon as i accepted that i was happy who i was i was like what'll happen if i start working out yeah i just want to see yeah and after 100 push-ups one day, I was like, I feel pretty fucking good right now. So we've got a music video in the works that requires body transformation, the likes you see with someone like Christian Bale or I think Jared Leto did it as well.
Starting point is 00:41:59 So Ian's got to do it. But the goal here is we've just got to keep making stuff and you hope that eventually you hit it big. Eventually, hopefully, maybe not a song that's written by me and produced by Carter. Maybe it's someone we end up signing. But eventually, we want to get a song out there that people just like so much they share with everybody. And then the industry can't deny it. But that's the plan, man.
Starting point is 00:42:24 If I can say one more thing real quick. then the industry can't deny it yeah but that's that that's the plan man yeah it's um if i can say one more thing real quick don't you think between the entire right wing though that we have enough pull to kind of you know not necessarily astroturf things like the left but i i guess in a way astroturf but we did like the left does we did did with the video produced by Tim. By the way, you guys were on billboard. We did the we put we it was our reporter, a lot. Eliyahu reporting for Timcast News who caught the we are coming for your children, which went so viral, it forced the left to react to it in the corporate press. And it made them look ridiculous. That was definitely good. There's no arguing that I was talking more about like people, you know, at Timcast and like say daily wire and, and maybe others kind of form in like a little group chat where they're like, okay, we're all going to run this story. We're going to force the left to react to it. I just feel like between the whole right wing, there's a lot of power there that's untapped and potential energy that that won't work stories like what's happening is everybody in the world
Starting point is 00:43:28 says a word or says a sentence and then someone says a sentence that everyone agrees with and so it bubbles up and naturally rises to the top what's happening is as we succeed in producing content that people like because get what go broke so we're winning we gain more resources and ability to spread more and start taking that hill from from the woke people who are abandoning it there's no way for us to go to the daily wire and be like hey guys here's a story we should all talk about it would just not work it would be the weirdest cringiest thing if everyone all of a sudden was like we've all decided to talk about this cheese factory that went out of business and people would be like
Starting point is 00:44:03 i literally don't give a shit about that you know so yeah the cheese factory would be a bit weird but i was thinking more like say like a maga month celebration type thing where it's like middle of june and everyone tells their followers all right guys go get your american flags it's gotta be organic rival pride month it's it's got to be organic like if we all got together and said MAGA month, and then it turned into the cringiest, like, thing ever, we would lose cultural influence. Yeah. So we have to rely on merit, not on collectivism. Yeah. You know, getting all of the different factions together and being like, hey, we're 15 people of influence.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Let's make, you know, this day a holiday for this reason. And then it turns out that the average person finds it to be a stupid idea. We just look silly. That's what the wokeness is doing. This is exactly what's happening. The left gets together effectively
Starting point is 00:44:59 and says, we're going to do a bunch of diversity stuff because that's what people want. And then everyone says that's cringe and it's really fucking dumb. it used to be we'd make a bunch of movies and the best movie would get the most attention that's what we're trying to do now and the merit will defeat the collectivism yeah so so but we are winning like we are like like the we are coming for your children's story was a timcast reporter it went so viral among the average person because everyone cared about the story and wanted to know more about it was shocked by it nbc news tried to write a defense of it like we're winning on that front we're getting it you know i do think
Starting point is 00:45:33 we need an organically awesome thing for sure multiple many many many the bud light boycott i think is an example but it's organic. Although, yeah. But I do think there is some value to authoritarianism in the creation of systems. So you can get together an author that this will be the next big one. We just need a big one, and it can't be cheap. It's got to be the fucking
Starting point is 00:45:57 best. Well, I definitely agree with the sentiment of your message, my friend. I guess we'll have to see what will happen thanks for taking my call I appreciate it thanks for calling in oh one thing get on Scotty Kilmer you gotta get Scotty Kilmer on this show
Starting point is 00:46:14 we'll take a look is he that car guy he's the YouTube mechanic he's extremely based he knows a lot about electric vehicles he's hilarious tell me a lot about fixing vehicles. He's hilarious. Tell me a lot about fixing cars, actually, funnily enough.
Starting point is 00:46:28 It would be great. I agree. Cool. Thanks, man. Cheers, man. Of course, we have Tim of 2009. Wow, that was a while ago. Ed, Edd n Eddy in your picture there. You're live with us now.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Yes, sir. It is Edd n Eddy. It's Edd, actually. Yes. Nice. Thanks for having me. Of course. So there's been a huge discussion on how we quote-unquote got here as a culture, and I wanted to purport something I feel like that hasn't been talked about much and ask your guys' opinion. So Warren Sussman, he wrote this book called Culture as History, talking about American culture,
Starting point is 00:47:02 and he purports that at the turn of the 19th and the 20th century, we changed from a quote-unquote culture of character to a culture of personality. I just wanted to read a couple words he used to describe both. For the culture of character, he used words like citizenship, duty, work, integrity, and he says above all, manhood. Whereas for personality, it's really interesting. He says fascinating, stunning, attractive, magnetic, and other words like that. And I was just curious what you guys think on this idea that really one of the biggest influences to our cultural problems is that we've gone from a culture of character to a culture of personality.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I don't think that makes any sense. I actually kind of see the person, because corporations are people, and rich is another word you could throw in there with personality. I think, well, corporations are people as viewed by the law. Corporations are made of people. That's why they're considered people.
Starting point is 00:47:58 They're legal persons. Yeah, they're viewed as a person by the law. But I think... And how wealthy, how rich they are is how valuable they are to... Sorry to interrupt. No, no, it's okay. I think... And how wealthy, how rich they are is how valuable they are. Sorry to interrupt. No, no, it's okay. I think I could see this and I feel like a lot of people
Starting point is 00:48:10 when they were offered like their bio and their define yourself on MySpace, I think a lot of people have like really leaned into that a lot. So we're all worried
Starting point is 00:48:20 about like how you define yourself and like writing a bio and stuff like that. I understand what this guy is saying, but I think that was a really big shift in people's mentality like you have to like people will now view it's important to like you know announce your pronouns and like what you like to do and like all this there's that before like these left-wing meetings and stuff i think people have leaned in so far into that idea that it's important to like you know get it out in front of it people just forget about like you know it doesn't no one really cares
Starting point is 00:48:44 at the end of the day either um i don't know i'm trying to understand what this guy's particularly i don't think it makes sense i think it's just i gotta be honest to me it sounds like someone trying to sound smart like the reality is that different generations had different cultural and moral values and you can try and define it as character or personality, but that doesn't mean anything at all. It's kind of like if they, people think you're awesome, then you'll become rich and famous and successful, but you don't have to be awesome for them to think you are.
Starting point is 00:49:14 You just got to make them believe it. And so we've got this, this culture of, of fake bullshit. That's like, who's got the best makeup. Who's got the best voice. Who's got the best lighting.
Starting point is 00:49:23 It's as opposed to back in the day, that shit didn't get shit done. Like you needed to do the work before to earn the virtue, I guess. It is just, we used to be a society of social enforcement. Well, honor shame culture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And now we're a society of, I don't know you and I don't care. Yeah. I don't even think personality is the right way to describe it because everybody's just out for themselves they don't give a shit about you at all cops don't enforce laws because they don't give a shit they don't want the problem yeah they'll give you a speeding ticket because it's easy and they'll get away with it a cop is more likely to pull you over for speeding than the guy who's waving a gun around because the guy with
Starting point is 00:50:00 the gun is dangerous and scary it's easier to do that right it's it's it's it's more about like selfishness yeah yeah yeah it's like it's like i guess what i'm saying is like it's like narcissistic people care so much about themselves that they just literally don't care about anyone else and it's just this weird it's just this weird thing that i've i feel like came out of like i guess like yeah like it's the fourth generation theory certainly social media and narcissism are hand in hand. The increase of materialism. I mean, like people aren't really seeking the spiritual good. We're seeking just hedonistic pleasures, which are inherently narcissistic. So there's no search for anything that's a higher meaning.
Starting point is 00:50:38 It's just like, you know, the buttons they gave the rats where they could just like press it and it would like trigger their brain to go into orgasm. Like that's essentially what we're doing on social media. That's what we're doing with hookup culture with our fast food. You have a great crisis and children of people die. The strong survive. The strong people understand meritocracy. They understand honor.
Starting point is 00:51:00 They understand purity. And then they have kids and those kids are more likely to succeed but those kids don't not all of them understand all of it and humans want to protect each other preserve those of less moral uh standing and then several generations later you end up with a whole a bunch of shit shitheads who don't believe in hard work don't believe in responsibility think they're entitled to everything, which causes or contributes to a major crisis where
Starting point is 00:51:27 shitheads don't make it. Like, in various forms. So I think, you know, you can look at it kind of like Strassau generational theory. It's just every third generation, they squander the gifts of their grandparents or their great-grandparents
Starting point is 00:51:43 and then it causes catastrophe. They don't know what it took to maintain a system so good. The greatest generation, World War I, World War II, as well as with the people who fought in World War I, a great crisis caused the Great Depression.
Starting point is 00:52:00 People struggled through this shit, became hardened and said, in order to survive and succeed, you must be a good person and hold these values true. You deserve nothing. You're entitled to nothing. You just have to keep working and life's not fair.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Then you get a bunch of people who grew up the hippie generation where they just do drugs and have sex all day. They have a bunch of shithead kids who are super woke and developmentally disabled and they're burning everything to the ground.
Starting point is 00:52:21 What's going to happen? The strong will survive. And the society that comes out of it after the fourth turning will be more dedicated to honor and hard work. That hippie generation, too, got really fucked by the Vietnam War because they thought they were doing World War II all over again. A lot of them. They thought they were going to fight the good fight. And they came back with no legs, if they came back at all, I think. No.
Starting point is 00:52:42 You know what? No. Fucking those people came back. The people that came back came back. Hey, look. know you know what no fucking those people came back the people that came back came back and then hey look we got good stuff from the boomers it wasn't all bad yeah they got disenfranchised with the american government and then the 80s was a bunch of fucking coquette whatever but it was this internet called people that are born with that with video games where you can reset the game and start over again like the girl that mace is her teacher you don't
Starting point is 00:53:03 think you're gonna get your jaw ripped off your face for doing that in like a dog-eat-dog society? Pulled mace out on somebody? They're going to kill you. That's what's happening in like urban centers. And then it's just like literal lawlessness, Mad Max increasingly in places like Chicago. And that's like video game culture
Starting point is 00:53:18 where people think they can pull someone out of a car because they did it in Grand Theft Auto or whatever when they were nine and they did it a hundred times and they dream about it because they do it in Grand Theft Auto or whatever when they were nine and they did it a hundred times and they dream about it because they do it so many times in the game. Video games are fucking people. It's not the video games. It's people's abuse of these games
Starting point is 00:53:34 that are tricking them. Final Fantasy 16 was abuse. It was very abusive. Did you beat it already? That game was fucking terrible. I just skip cutscenes these days. I feel bad for you, man you play it no but that's why i didn't play a fucking awful game yeah i'm not gonna do that i'm into like turn-based strategy i've ever played i like math and like math problem games like civilization where you're
Starting point is 00:53:54 doing calculations and and you know contingencies and things like that but video games i i think little kids that are that are four or five years old that are playing a game over and over where you punch someone might end up be more likely to think it's okay to punch someone. This is the leftist argument they've been making for a decade. Not just leftists. I mean, you've got the 90s Christian moms as well. But one of the big components of Gamergate was that the feminists and leftists wanted to make video games that were referred to as walking simulators. And the feminists kept saying saying how come all video games
Starting point is 00:54:26 have to be components of violence we should change that and they started promoting games like on indie like they started writing about video games where it's like you get to like walk around and plant flowers and stuff like that but I don't know good sir did we answer your question I don't
Starting point is 00:54:42 know if it was I think it was more of a private discussion. I think that's what we did. Yeah. And I don't want to pin it all on video games. Thanks for answering. I just wanted to say it's interesting you brought up, because I've underlined, it says, the vision of self-sacrifice began to yield to that self-realization. And so I don't know,
Starting point is 00:54:58 I don't really know who Sussman is, but yeah, it's really interesting to me, because basically, nobody cares about anybody else. We only care about ourselves. And it's really interesting to me because basically nobody cares about anybody else. We only care about ourselves, and it's interesting to see how the roots of this go back almost 100 years, at least according to this guy, but thank you.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Of course. Cheers. All right, thanks for calling in. Someone asked me, what about Final Fantasy XVI was bad? Let me try and go quick for you. So, man, the combat system is a joke. You get elemental abilities, but only the first three really matter.
Starting point is 00:55:33 They're all trash. The darkness iconic ability, complete waste of time, total garbage. The Phoenix power you start with is basically the best. And then you have Garuda and Ramuh, which are good. And all the rest are completely worthless, except for maybe Shiva. But it's all basically just like, you know, point and laser. I don't know. Bad combat.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Basically, you just spam R1 if you're scared and you instantly dodge everything. R1 and square. It's just the fights are ridiculously easy and effectively non-existent. The story has a whole bunch of fluff quests that don't matter to the game, which you should be able to avoid. Basically forced side quests where it's like, you walk up to someone and they're like, before you go on this mission, you need to go talk to this guy. And then you do. And then he says a bunch of nonsense and wastes your time. And then he goes, I better go talk to this lady.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And I'm like, what the fuck is this? What is this? It makes you run back and forth in the hideout, the main area, for like 15 minutes and I'm just skip, skip, skip. This has nothing to do with the game. There are quests where it's like,
Starting point is 00:56:33 I'm supposed to go do this thing, but I'm going to stop here and do something else for no reason. It's called a side quest, bro. Something to fucking do with the story. Then the ending was just so bad. Oh, wow. So bad.
Starting point is 00:56:42 You beat it fast. It's a short game. I feel like they're trying to fluff it up. Combat is dumb. And the story makes little sense. It's dejected, bounces around. Ultimately, I was just like, the story's completely one-dimensional.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Completely one-dimensional. I just give it, I'd give it like a 4 out of 10. I've been playing the Horizon games, because Burning Shores came out. That is a very well-made game. It's got stupid woke bullshit in it. Every commander's a woman. I'm like, dude,
Starting point is 00:57:11 if human civilization got wiped out and a bunch of tribal humans emerged in the wake with no knowledge of their past, you would not see every legion being led by women. That's the game. I'm like, whatever. I don't care. They can be women. The story's pretty good. The gameplay is good. You can be women. The story's pretty good. And the gameplay is good.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And you can do the side quests or ignore them. And it's a fun game with excellent combat mechanics, how you fight the robots. Final Fantasy XVI is basically a movie that takes too long and has a bunch of stupid cutscenes. But I'm not going to go on any longer because it's time for bed. Thank you all so much for hanging out, Lauren. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for having me. And we'll see you tomorrow morning. It'll be fun.
Starting point is 00:57:44 One thing. I don't know if you guys heard the BlackRock CEO is promoting Bitcoin now. Well, Lauren. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for having me. And we'll see you tomorrow morning. It'll be fun. One thing. I don't know if you guys heard the BlackRock CEO is promoting Bitcoin now. Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Yeah, let's make that topic tomorrow because it is fucking crazy. Thanks for hanging out, everybody. And we will check out tomorrow The Culture War at 10 a.m. YouTube.com slash Timcast. It's going to be a hoot.
Starting point is 00:57:58 We'll see you all there. Bye.
