If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you, So the second largest bank failure in U.S. history happened at 4 a.m. Clearly, they're trying to do it. Well, they want to do it before the markets opened, and they did it kind of out of sight of everybody. And I'm surprised it's not getting more attention. First, Republic Bank was seized by the U.S. government and then sold off to J.P. Morgan with I think it was 50 billion dollars in federal financing, which is basically

like y'all are bailing them out again as much as Biden's insisting you're not. So look, I don't know to tell you, man. There's some economists saying the dollar is doomed. I'm not here to give you any financial advice, but I think when you've had three of the largest banking failures in U.S. history within the span of a couple of months, I don't know, maybe you should go seek some financial advice. Not for me, but I know I'm going to be making some moves because I'm kind of worried. What they're saying is that people panicked over First Republic, pulled their money out. Many of them actually went to J.P. Morgan,

but my fear now is, I'm not an economist, but if J.P. Morgan's absorbing this dying bank, isn't that just going to get people scared that J.P. Morgan won't be able to handle it, and then they'll pull their money out of there and then run somewhere else? Cascade effect. We'll see what happens. We've got other big news.

Vice is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy. No! Holy crap. Yeah! No! Everybody's yelling already. And we got more news than that.

Bud Light sales are now down an additional week by 21.4%. So it went 6, 17, and now 21. It just keeps getting worse. They've hired GOPAs. They're going to spend millions of dollars in marketing, all to avoid apologizing. How pathetic and spineless.

But they're getting leftist groups coming at them now saying, you have to defend us and apologize to us. Let's see who they choose. Before we get started, ladies and gentlemen, head over to castbrewcoffee.com and pick up your, look at this, Cast Brew Coffee. And if you go to castbrew.com, it is our coffee brand.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more. She has returned. It is Libby Emmons. Hey, Tim. What's going on? Welcome back. Thanks. Glad to be around.

Who are you? I'm Libby Emmons. I'm the editor-in-chief at the Postmillennial and Human Events. Right on. And of course, Shim Sham is back. Good to be back, everybody. Good to have Libby here. Pretty, pretty sad about Vice.

Just if we could take a moment of silence. I wish it was me instead. Really, really. BuzzFeed, now Vice? This is, what's worth, why do we need the dollar to be successful? What is worth purchasing? If not, whatever it is those websites are selling.

We might have to like crack out the Louis XIII. Ooh, what's that? be successful what is worth purchasing if not whatever it is those websites are selling i we might have to like crack out the the louis the 13th oh what's that it sounds fancy it's extremely expensive cognac oh nice let's try it let's give it let's give it a shot to celebrate vice's bankruptcy i think we should give it a try that's i mean they were already morally bankrupt so yeah let's uh it's true see the finances match it i wonder how mad they will get, the people who work there, when they see a video of us pouring $5,000 cognac to celebrate their bankruptcy. Well, we could just call it a wake.

Is that what we're doing it for? Listen, that's what Irish funerals are like. I have no idea if they're Irish, but we're ethnically Irish. I don't drink anymore, but I could not be more supportive of a celebratory toast for the demise of vice i i'll give you an energy like a vitamin drink i'm saying you should all you should drink don't don't hold back on my my i just remember going to like vice parties in new york like a million years ago yeah me too they were fun well anyway we'll talk about it we got

phil he's hanging out phil the blonty from all that remains how you doing i'm the lead vocalist anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. How you doing? And my buddy, Serge, is here. What's up? His microphone's off. I'm on mute, like always. How you guys doing?

Yeah, I'm ready to start when you guys are. Let's jump into this first story. I love this one. From the Hill. First Republic fallout. Democrats fume as regulators bail out yet another failed bank. What I love about this is that they're like, while Democrats aren't arguing the Biden administration should have let First Republic fail, many are concerned that the current spate of bank rescues point to financial stability concerns. I love it.

Democrats basically coming out and being like, I can't believe they bail out another bank. I mean, we want them to do it, but we're so shocked that they didn't. Yeah, they wanted this to happen. They say the San Francisco-based regional powerhouse is the third major U.S. bank to fail and prompt a government administrative bailout

of depositors following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March. It is the second largest bank collapse in U.S. history, eclipsing Silicon Valley Bank. I love this because it's like no one seems to care.

It's like just another domino falling. It's almost like it's not news that our banking system is collapsing. I wake up. It's 6 a.m. I look at my phone and I'm like, my eyes are like stuck shut. And I'm like, what's going on here? I look at my phone and it's like the federal government seized First Republic Bank this morning and sold it to J.P.

Morgan with $50 billion in financing from them. And I'm like, wait, what? At four in the morning, they did this? Wow. It sounds like it's all falling apart. And then throughout the rest of the day, like no one's talking about it. The first thing I saw was your tweet. And I was like, oh, we got to write about this right away.

That was our first story out today. And everyone was like, oh, wow. How about that? Do you guys hear Vice is going bankrupt? It's like, dude, our banking system is bankrupt. Oh, yeah, but Vice sucks. That's also true. I mean, look, our banking system is bankrupt yeah oh yeah but vice sucks that's also true i mean look our banking system sucks too our banking system also sucks i don't i guess the issue is like we know the banks are failing but what do we do i feel exactly i feel

like everybody that's kind of like the situation everyone knows everyone's aware of how much money has been printed in the past five years how how much money they printed. It was unprecedented amounts of money. We are basically ascribing to an unprecedented monetary policy. Modern monetary theory is essentially it's a new idea. It's not been tested. We don't know exactly how much stress the system can take. And so far, thankfully, things haven't gone terribly wrong. But there's no reason to believe that something wouldn't happen can't happen tomorrow and a lot of the everything fall

apart and a lot of the money that got spent over the past few years got spent really willy-nilly like i know that and wash i remember in washington state a bunch of the money that went out that was like extra unemployment actually went to africa There was like a whole scam going on. They were like, oh, we're unemployed. Don't check our IP addresses. And nobody did. Yeah. It's just First Republic got really into NFTs.

They got all those bored apes. And I guess- Bored apes and the Donald Trump NFTs. You know what they were really doing? Apparently, it's been reported. They were giving interest only loans to ultra wealthy individuals they would basically they were just buying penthouses for rich people and then like no money down like blm seems like it seems like the titanic hit the iceberg a long

time ago and the rich people have been extracting as much as they can to bail out as it's sinking to the ground i mean that's like 2,000 people left New York. 2,000 millionaires left New York. It was like 250,000 people left Manhattan, which is also higher income. Yeah. And then it was like, but there were like actually 2,000 legit millionaires. And then where do they go? Florida, I guess.

A bunch of them went to Florida. Yeah. New Zealand bunkers or something. Yeah. Just get the hell out. They can get to Montana where they have the old nuclear silos. I got to give a shout out to Jim Cramer. He's undefeated.

Completely undefeated. He has that tweet where he's like, First Republic, good bank. He's like, everybody move, move, move to New York. Go over there. Pack your stuff up. He said something positive about Bitcoin the other day. And I'm like, no, Jim. No.

No, Jim. Stop. What are you doing, Cramer? Oh, my gosh. Well, no, maybe that's the one thing where it's like, maybe I'll move my assets. If he's recommended, I'm getting out because I don't know what's going on here. But maybe he's created the inverse Kramer effect where they actually are good banks, but by him shouting it out, everyone panics and then pulls their money out.

He's like, I want to burn it all down. He's just been studying the economy for years and he sees the corruption in the system i will be its reckoning yeah if he behind the scenes he's just calling these institutions out so people lose faith in them yes he's actually yeah he's burning it all down if he made that tweet in uh in mandarin bitcoin would have crumbled because what the people in china would have understood but what i find really funny about this story is that there's a whole bunch of stories where it's like, there is no banking crisis. Experts say it's all media nonsense

and don't worry, nothing bad's happening. And from March until three days ago, all of the news stories were, there is no banking crisis. It's all being overhyped. And then like two days before the U.S. government seizes

the second largest bank, it's the second largest collapse seized by the U.S. government. ABC runs a story saying, is the banking collapse over? And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Y'all were saying there was no banking collapse in the corporate media. And then right before this collapse, you're like, is it over? Well, answer was no. But here's my concern. JP Morgan gets $50 billion in federal financing.

So basically, we are, maybe not the taxpayer, but we as regular people are all footing the bill because it's just tied to the FDIC is supposed to be for us. It's supposed to be insuring our money. Right. And instead, they're using it to finance the sale to JP Morgan. But here's my thought process. Yo, it's just me. And I understand why people in media will just say like, everything's fine. Everything's fine.

Because they don't want to run on the banks. So recognizing that, I'm going to be completely honest. If I had money in JP Morgan, I would have gone first thing today and pulled it all out. All of it. Every penny, huh? Every penny.

Because JP Morgan just bought a necrotic multi-billion dollar asset with 84 branches and and with government financing meaning the only reason they made this the only reason this is possible because the government because the i don't i'll just say the fdic gave 50 billion dollars in fixed rate financing so jp morgan was not capable of absorbing this without the federal government's intervention so i'm kind of like why should i believe they can rescue this failing this this failing and the other thing too is the fdic has said that they were going to put a new program in place to make

banks pay more money for this bank bailout insurance fund like that's coming up too i just i i think jp morgan's not gonna be able to handle it well are any of the banks gonna be able to handle this kind of thing and they're all gonna be expected to pay into this new fund right the argument i guess was jp morgan was saying that when people fled first republic they went to chase and they brought that money with them but imagine you're like on a sinking ship right and you're like quick everyone jumped to that ship yeah and then the other ship is like yeah actually you know we're we're that's part of our fleet too and we're like connected to it they're gonna be like we don't have that many lifeboats we were running from

from that bank and now our money's right back with them i mean it at this point it really is a situation where people are kind of on their own figuring out where the safe place is to go is because there there's got to be contagion from this bank that or from the other banks that are going to be brought to jp morgan i don't i mean i assume jp morgan is alleged to be able to handle it the the government is going to back it up but again what happens if something unprecedented happens what if there's they can only handle it because the government because the fdse gave him 50 billion dollars yeah a promissory note so if jp morgan could not do it on their own without government support why would i assume

they're going to be able to manage this properly yeah because the government will keep writing checks so it's essentially you're betting on the u.s government so why didn't the government just write a check to first republic and keep them afloat i as i don't know exactly what the thought process was but i something else going on there then i imagine then i would then then my my issue there is okay i think they're gonna write a 50 billion dollar check to jp morgan why not just write a 50 billion dollar check the first republic because they don't want to national because then it would be looked at as nationalizing the bank if the government gives they did i know but i think that i think it's going to be a situation of just

they're going to say oh well it's not nationalized because J.P. Morgan's running it, blah, blah, blah. Even though they're financing it or funding it, if the government just says we're taking over and we're going to send regulators from the SEC in or whatever the, you know, whatever the regulating body is. If they just send them in, then it becomes a situation where they're going to be like, no, it's government bank. Because that was the problem or that was the concern back in 2008. They didn't want to have Goldman Sachs look like it was being owned by the government. And people are allergic to nationalizing. They want someone,

they want it to be taken over, but they want a private company to be the one doing it. At the very least, so that way they can say that it's not nationalized. So they can say that the government didn't take over the bank.

If there's an ulterior motive, it just sounds like they're being shady. And once again, if I use Chase, I would be gone would be gone that's just me i mean and i get it the reason why people like jim cramer come out and they're like everything's fine everything's fine even though it's not is because they don't want to create the self-fulfilling prophecy where you go in the media say everything's not fine causing a run on the banks yeah i don't want this is right svb was like twitter conversation and then there was a run on the bank well it's also like and first republic was the same thing when they started getting hit people started pulling their money out causing it to collapse right i wonder if occupy wall street

activists are cheering this on right now it's like everything they've ever wanted well they probably have all their money in chase yep well tim i mean like if i sat you down and i was like tim everything's gonna be okay do you understand everything's all right it's not your fault it's okay everything's fine you'd be like what's gonna happen i mean whenever someone feels the need to reassure you it's like um goodwill hunting it's not your fault it's not your fault i'm thinking more stop saying that do you remember uh do you remember at the end of the dark night when not to spoil it or anything but when harvey dent's like have you ever told someone everything's gonna be okay when you know it isn't that's jim cramer right now so do you

have any idea what it's like someone should make that meme where he's yelling at jim cramer because that's literally what the dude has done i never do that i never say everything's gonna be okay based yeah i mean i don't know if it's gonna be okay i do i do know that like eventually we're all gonna be dead like yes but that might you know if you get to heaven that's okay that's when everything's actually okay right when you can't when okay has no meaning well you have nothing to complain about but i mean like living a long and healthy life and dying of old age shot by loved ones is okay no that sounds great right so like everything will be okay i aspire to that kind of death i mean it's it It's just the human experience, you know?

I'm just saying, I understand why everyone's coming out and saying it's going to be okay. But you got to understand the people who are saying that to you, they may claim to have noble reasons, but they're pulling their assets and they're putting it somewhere else.

But where are they putting it? China? Where do you put it? China? Yeah. That doesn't sound like putting it in their mattresses eventually we'll have

some sort of like tariff situation we won't be able to get our money out of there yeah for sure but if you're rich you're probably going to worry about

I mean Panama El Salvador people are they're probably buying tons of Bitcoin so I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin skyrockets

there have been predictions that a few months ago several people were predicting that Bitcoin would hit a million dollars soon

and who was that? He's an economist or whatever. And he said it was going to hit a million dollars and he would make a bet with somebody that it would. Everybody said the amount of increase in Bitcoin due to him creating this narrative is going to cover any potential losses from giving away a million dollars. They didn't believe him. But the point he made was that the banks are insolvent. They're holding a bunch of, they're holding way more liabilities

than they have assets. And they're unrealized losses. And as soon as this comes, in the next few months, the dollar is going to collapse. Bitcoin is going to skyrocket. Then this happens. You know, the second biggest collapse in US history

happening with two other major collapses in the span of a couple months. You know what's interesting is Chase, like J.P. Morgan in the first place back in like 19-whatever, 1913 or something like that. He didn't, when there was like a run on banks, there was a run on local banks. And all the local banks had their money invested with regional banks. And the regional banks had their money invested with, know banks in new york and everything so when there was a run on the banks the local banks the they couldn't get their money out fast enough to cover it because it was all invested basically upstream um but jp morgan thought that there should be a private banking back situation where like it was not nationalized at all but all of the banks got together and basically

created their own kind of you know fdic but it was for the banks themselves and private and instead it ended up being um you had like the federal reserve act so someone someone uh chatted that uh valley national bank is also falling right now and i just looked it up and like it's it's the news. They're starting to fall now. Minus 20%. My goodness gracious. Does anybody have a clear memory of what it was that made the average person realize that the banking crisis was happening in 2008? As far as I remember, it was-

Bear Stearns, probably. I thought it was- Was it Lehman? Wasn't it Lehman? Well, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns were banks that were were involved but i'm wondering what it was that made the average person was it because i thought it was because the the the companies like ge weren't able to get credit from other companies to to make their payroll and i'm wondering if there has to be a catalyst to make people the average person aware if they're not, you know, it's like, if you don't have your money in any of these particular four, these four banks,

you kind of might just not really pay attention. Oh, a bank failed and then go about your day and it doesn't really affect you unless there's something that makes it go, you know, makes it, makes it become everyone's problem. And I'm wondering if there's, if anyone has any insight on that, what, what it was back in 2008 or if, or if there's something. I had very little money in 2008, so I don't remember at all. Fair enough.

Speaking of having very little money, let's jump to our next story. Well, hold on. This is not financial advice, but I'm going to buy a bunch of NFTs, print them out and stuff them in my mattress. That's it. That's a really clever idea.

Great idea. Thank you. Great idea. The banks will never get it. Use the good picture paper too The glossy stuff They will retain their value They're just different NFTs of your face

Exactly, I'll make my own NFTs Drive the price down Buy them up Then stuff them in my mattress once the price point is high Because they're yours Not financial advice You just figure out what they're worth That's basically what Sam Bankman Freed did that was literally it that's brilliant not financial

let's uh let's jump to this uh next story we have this from komo news bud light sales continue to drop down 21.4 percent following trans activist partnership the latest data released monday by bump williams consulting shows bud light sales for the third week in April were down 21.4% compared to the same time last year. The week before, sales were down 17%. It just keeps getting worse. Check this out. Competitors gain ground. Coors Light is up 20%.

Miller Light sales are up 21%. You know what that means? It means for every one Bud Light someone does not buy, they buy one Coors and one Miller. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of extra beer drinking. They're like, I'm going to buy one of each. For every Bud Light you try to sell, I'm going to buy two of the other ones. It's crazy that they're not buying good beer

instead, but it's better than nothing. I don't care what they buy as long as it's not Bud Light. Amen. The Human Rights Campaign civil rights activist group for LGBTQ plus community penned a letter to Bud Light demanding that they defend them. They say when,

uh, what is this? They were super drunk on Bud Light, right? Like, this is an outrage. She's a beautiful woman. So there was a bar in Indiana.

There's a bar in Indiana that issued a statement saying, if you've got a problem with this, then you can leave. Dude, you're in Indiana. And then they came back a week later. They were like, we didn't mean it. Please, please come back.

What we meant was you can leave a review on Yelp and come back on in, friend. You can leave a big tip because we ain't doing that stuff anymore, man. We're done. I love this story because we're winning. Bud Light is so desperate not to apologize. They're going to spend millions in marketing.

They're hiring ex-GOP aides to assist them. They're having secret meetings. But they're going to have to apologize because they are, for the third week in a row, and that was last week, their sales are down 21.4%. Imagine what it's going to look like this week. It's going to keep being bad.

And the only way out is an apology. Well, you know, my feminist... Actually, I'm sorry. I don't even know if an apology would cut it. I don't think an apology would work. I remember when I got canceled, I was told to apologize. And I was like, even if I did,

it wouldn't work. No, I got... An apology is... Yeah. This is different. The woke mob canceling people was never in good faith. Never.

When Bud Light did this, the first thing everyone said was, just say you're sorry and we will move on and buy your beer and i said look if they just came out and said we're sorry for sponsoring dylan mulvaney we we won't do it again we we we apologize for offending our audience i'd be like okay okay okay i'll still not drink your beer no no i said i said you don't drink it at all and i said i would go and stock the entire office for our guests if they were willing to apologize for having done this and they are not in fact my view of it is they are they are the opposite of apologizing hiring having secret meetings hiring gop aides to consult for them

paying millions in marketing is them saying we will do everything in our power to not apologize to our own to our own customers that is the biggest f you well they don't care about their customers they don't care about their customers that's why if at this point they have done it i do not see in any way why anybody would want to be associated with them at this point after three weeks they could they could have just come out after that first week and been like guys we did not mean to sponsor this person we had no idea we are sorry about sponsoring domo vanny end of story well there was that thing for a second where it was like oh the the corporate people didn't really know that this was going on yeah but they never said sorry no yeah sorry to be fair have you ever been in an

argument with someone and then you realize like halfway through you're wrong and you're like how do i be a reasonable person without apologizing here i'm clearly incorrect i am 100% wrong gaslight would you not spend millions of dollars to get out of that situation if you had reasonable person without apologizing here. I'm clearly incorrect. I am 100% wrong. Gaslight. Would you not spend millions of dollars to get out of that situation if you had it? Would you not be like, I'm not sure there's a lot of marketing campaign. I would just apologize. Oh, you're so virtuous, Libby. No, I'm not.

I just know when I'm wrong and it happens a lot. Well, you're wrong right now. I'm used to apologizing. Here's what you do. You quit drinking and then. Right. Then you like take the steps. Yeah.

Imagine all of us drinking. You have to apologize to everybody. Everything's easier once you quit drinking. Maybe Bud Light should go to AA. Yeah, exactly. And they'll get to that round. We apologize to all our customers for thinking that a whole bunch of men

really wanted to drink beer. Bud Weiser needs to go to AA, man. Sponsored by this fella in a dress. Anheuser-Busch leading in the AA meetings. How many lives have they saved by stopping all of these men from drinking no no kids are gonna write letters to thank you letters to bud light no there people are buying twice as much but bud lights are physical to apologize it's taking lives they're having i'm not drinking bud light parties. I bet Coors put them up to it. I bet these other companies were like, you know what would be really cool?

That Dylan Mulvaney. Dude. That's awesome. Coors CEO has a meeting with the Anheuser-Busch CEO. He's like, we got up there playing chess. And he's like, you guys think you're the biggest dogs in the park, but I got news for you. Our next play is going to blow you out of the water. And they're like, really?

What are you going to do? Well, I shouldn't tell you. But we're sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. And then the Anheuser-Buschbusch guy gets up he's like i have to go to the bathroom real quick he runs he's like get sponsor this person and then the cool however much they're paying you i'll double it none of that 70 cents on the dollar thing i know you're actually a man i'll pay you a full dollar then the coors light guy gets up and walks away and laughs and bud lights now. So all of this, all of this that they're doing, take a look at this story.

This is interesting. Bud Light owners hired XGOP staffers as Capitol Hill lobbyists the same day they released the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. They are doing everything in their power to avoid actually just speaking

to their own customers. No, no, no, no. I didn't say apologize. Speaking to. Yeah, they don't want to do that. They don i didn't say apologize speaking to yeah they don't want to do that they don't want to say anything directly to these angry individuals to the point where they've put two people on leave they're spending millions in marketing they're hiring these people they made a commercial referencing 9-11 right they would that's desperate

that's so desperate really desperate did you see what d Dylan Mulvaney did? Dylan Mulvaney's last, most recent TikTok. Oh, I always keep up. Right? I actually do always keep up because it's fun doing these stories. The only reason I have TikTok. She has notifications turned on. I push notifications. They go to my phone.

I'm like, ding. I'm like, look at you. But Dylan Mulvaney, his last TikTok, instead of of you know how he does like 365 days of girlhood yeah he skipped a bunch it was a day nine hundred six nine thousand six hundred and one of being human and i was like there you go just be that just be human but and then you're basically fine but the video that was put up by by mulvaney was saying like you know people are saying anything in the press about me that's not my truth. And it's just like, not my truth. It is the most, that is exactly the problem.

Yes, it is. What they're saying was the truth, but not yours. Exactly. Like, what are you, God? You get to invent truth yourself? This is the subjective cult worldview these people have. I hate the word truth. It's self-worship.

That's literally it. If anyone who says my truth is engaged in self-worship, there's no such thing as your truth. Well, that's what it is. I mean, it's the deification of the self. I am the way and the truth and the life. Yep. Yeah.

The logos. These people. Christ is truth. He is truth. Even outside of that religious perspective, it is obvious that woke people worship themselves. Yes. That's correct. The universe revolves around them.

Their reality is reality that is the post-modernist subjective morality james lindsey is jumping up and down screaming yes tim yes tim yes tim right now well what else is self-care right i mean self-care is like preparation of the the sacred vessel yeah amen well and the thing the irony right about self-care is you're not actually caring about yourself you're just indulging in selfish pleasures that make your life significantly worse in the long run tim you you talked about how this is a lotion and ice cream exactly not like going to bed and getting up at a decent time and going to your job and earning and yeah i saw the first for the first time i saw someone do a cover of a tiktok bit you know the the dylan mulvaney uh bit that he did where

he had the tampon and stuff i saw another different tiktoker oh no literally do the same bit it wasn't like a yeah that was like a cover song that like that guy sykes i don't know the name yeah so i'm telling you this guy was one of the guys this guy pledged to a bunch of sororities at i think alabama oh i think it was alabama we wrote about him a little bit today guy pledged to a bunch of sororities at i think alabama oh i think it was alabama we wrote about him a little bit today but he pledged a bunch of sororities he didn't get into any of them he got very mad he posted all these prom pictures he has his hair really short but it's got like highlights he's clearly an effeminate gay man which like okay go ahead but uh here he is trying to get into all these sororities and then he started ripping off the

Dylan Mulvaney stuff because it was doing well for Mulvaney and he must have been like oh I could definitely get in on this so I watched some of his videos

and yeah he goes into the stores he makes fun of tampons and it's like look none of us like tampons either okay like nobody's into it it's not something

we're all like Danny tampons it's like you're stuck you know you don't want to like bleed all over the place I like what they do though i like the but it's like the effect of tampons is useful but we don't need to go into the store and be like ogling all these cotton products they do these uh these instagram ads where it's like people have periods and it shows women with in their underwear with stains and stuff have you seen those the activist posts

fortunately no there's been a bunch of leftists who have posted the free bleed the free yeah women in their underwear with stains and stuff. Have you seen those? The activist posts? Fortunately, no. There's been a bunch of leftists who have posted. The free bleed. The free bleed. Oh, I remember this. They've posted images on Instagram. Runners do that. They've posted images on Instagram

of them laying in bed in their underwear with stains. And my view of that is like no different than if a dude had like crap on his ass. I'm free shitting, dude. It's like, why should society constrain my biological functions? But hold on. Imagine if people were this animated about

toilet paper. Not those Charmin bears. They're excited. They're super pumped about toilet paper. But they're not against it, though. That's the point. They're pro-toilet paper. This toilet paper is oppressive to bear kind. Why must I cleanse? Clean fuzzy bears.

Exactly. Toilet paper wasn't around for all of this. Commercials are kind of weird, to be honest. Yeah, I don't like any toilet paper commercials. I don't like any tampon commercials. I hate all the menstruation commercials. It's always a woman in nature being super happy. There's nothing.

It's never happy. But in the commercials, she's super happy. She's out in nature on super happy. I know where it is. Yeah, all those words. There's nothing. It's never happy. But in the commercials, she's super happy. She's like out in nature on like a rowboat and it starts sinking and she's like, oh no. I hate all that so much. And you know what? You don't need commercials for these things. Get some wool on you and wash your underclothes. Yes, you do because your brand needs to be the one that people know.

When people think crappy butts, they think Charmin. Look, people go to the store, they walk through the aisle and they grab the one that's know. When people think crappy butts, they think Charmin. Look, people go to the store, they walk through the aisle and they grab the one that's soft. Do you know? I don't know about what women do. I don't want to talk about it. Do you know what?

You know how there's been all this shoplifting at like the Duane Reade's and the Walgreens and everything like that? So I keep being afraid that when I go into a drugstore, it's all going to be locked up

and I'm going to have to walk up to some teenager at the front and be like, can you unlock the tampon? They'll have like weird color hair and be wearing a mask. I don't want any piece of that, you know, like just. You just got to be assertive. You got to be like, hey, doc, I got to wipe my butt. Open the cabinet.

Get me some of that TP. That's right. What are you going to do? Hey, everybody, poops. Give me the wet ones. Let's go. Wet ones. But Tampax actually was, Tampax was sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. Yes me the wet ones. Let's go. Wet ones. But Tampax actually was,

Tampax was sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. Yes, which is weird. And I was horrified by that. I know why, but. Did you ever see that South Park with Kenny? Yes, Dylan came out and said after the backlash that the whole bit was actually to help women because even leftist women

and regular women were offended by what Dylan was doing marketing tampons. Yeah. And so what that video was like, I was just trying to be helpful and then women got even angrier because a bunch of women started posting like having a male come up to you in a bathroom. You're mansplaining tampons! No, no, but like

Back off, that's creepy. This is awesome. You're a woman. a woman is in the bathroom and a male walks up to you and says would you like a tampon oh my goodness i would be terrified and that's where's the holy water and that's why the backlash just got worse yeah now my hope from all of this is that companies just stop sponsoring dylan mulvaney dylan mulvaney dylan mulvaney he's mulvaney he's got everything already he's got a kitchenaid blender he's got kate spade everything right dylan got like oil of a leg running for president got the republican nomination he's doing that and dylan represents

algorithmic manipulation to no one and bud bud light is learning what that means it means when the algorithm says something is popular, it is not. Just because people are looking at it does not mean people like it. And what is on the internet is, here's what's actually happening. There are fringe groups in this country that normally don't have the relationship to each other

to organize in large numbers. That means if one person in every major city in the US believed in space lizards, there's no great space lizard organization, but the internet allows them to congregate digitally. This then results in someone getting 100,000 views

on their space lizard video. But these people don't organize in the real world. Now you've got companies being like, who's that guy who's got 100,000 followers? Oh, space lizard guy? He's great. Let's sponsor that.

Whereas people normally are like, that's not okay. Dylan Mulvaney gets views because the algorithm props it up. Bud Light says sponsor it. Regular people say, what the are you doing? This is not okay. Now they're reeling from it. I hope other brands take notice and stop sponsoring algorithmic manipulation.

But let's do this. Speaking of this subject, we have big breaking news. This is a big story from this weekend. And a 70-year-old man named Dave defeats 82 women in the World Poker Tour Ladies event. So in

Southern Florida, the World Poker Tour is currently on. And this fella right here, Dave. She's aspirational. The Ladies No Limit Hold'em event in Seminole garnered 83 entries with a prize pool of $17,430. Here's the... This guy's having a good time. It's just really funny because it's not sports.

It's not like a physical activity. He just went there and just mopped the floor. But this is true of any... Look, men are better than women at chess. Men are better than women at poker. Poker is actually more obvious than chess. Chess, I don't have an explanation for. Maybe it's related to aggression and risk-taking.

The reason why men tend to beat women in poker is, and not completely, there are some women who are good, like in any other sport, it's because men are more aggressive and are more- They take bigger risks. They will play aggressively. They will make bigger bets. They will take bigger risks. They will play aggressively. They will make bigger bets. They will take bigger risks, and they will get paid out for it. Women are less likely to. So, of course, this guy won.

He won first place. He gets $5,555. And what they said is, Ebony Kenny, another female, I believe she's a pro poker player, said, maybe Dave was overheard saying, quote, he could pretend to identify as a woman because they allow anything nowadays. And by maybe I mean 100 percent. Now, as we were as we were launching the show, I got word that Dave actually gave a statement to Timcast dot com. Thanks, Dave.

And my understanding is that he was literally protesting that they allow males to compete against females. So I have not actually seen his statement until now. We're going to read it on the show. Dave Hughes responds to winning women's poker event. Hughes said he drove over five hours from Orlando to visit a friend competing in the $7 million main event at the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida. Upon arriving in the poker tournament, Hughes wanted to play a hand of poker, but learned the only event available for participation was the ladies no-limit hold'em. Quote, I figured, why not?

The ladies, as you know, are just as fierce, capable, as competitive as the men in poker and smell a lot better as well. For the record, I'm 100% against men taking advantage of women in sports where strength and muscle make it quite unfair. As we can all clearly see with men breaking all records set by women in every sport across the board while pretending to be women. It's pathetic and embarrassing that we allow our women to be abused

and victimized by this nonsense, and eventually, the country will wake up to this and put a stop to it. Our young girls and women who dedicate their lives to playing sports deserve better. Better than that, and the silent majority are starting to speak up. Damn! Well, you know know the worst part

of the whole story is the prize was originally four thousand one hundred twenty five dollars but because he's a man they gave him five thousand five hundred really messed up so apparently in uh the world series i think it's the world series of poker i think we may we may have written this up um i'm not sure if we did we did they have a ladies event as well and it's illegal to bar men from entering a tournament so in florida what they said was they were like we legally cannot say someone is based on their sex not allowed to enter an event so he's allowed to play they were just like we hoped people would honor it in i think it's the world series of poker in vegas what they do is it's a $10,000 fee to enter

with 90% off if you're female. That's still illegal. They're saying, aha, we found a loophole to discriminate against someone based on sex. Does not work that way. Anybody who wanted to sue could at the federal level and they would win. You can't do that.

There's a dude who is famous for going around to bars that had ladies night and filing lawsuits and winning instantly. Summary judgment. You cannot offer cheaper drinks to women based on the fact that they are women you can't you can't do it and so this guy would just be like you can't do it i'm suing i win a couple grand but but good on this guy for speaking out that guy ruined ladies nights at every bar now the women aren't showing up for cheaper drinks they were putting bounties on them so other players a bounty is a financial incentive

to knock a player out of the game. So if you were to beat him and take all his chips, you would get paid extra by someone else. Didn't work, he won. He actually won. Now do you think, let me ask you, this random guy who wasn't planning on entering the tournament, who just drove up there on a whim to watch his friend play,

he still beat all the men who actually showed up to compete in this tournament. I don't think it's that surprising. Yeah. You know, honestly. I mean, men take bigger risks. That's part of the, that seems like part of the fun of testosterone. It's science. It's like there's a little bit of fearlessness there.

Small brain women. I don't think it's that. I wouldn't say small brain. Well, you could, and it'd be fun to say. Well, there's like a whole IQ thing where more women are in the middle than on either end. The greater male variance hypothesis. I think it's probably the aggressiveness is the risk-taking and stuff, whereas men are more prone to take risk. Well, every time I have a friend that I've gone to casinos with and every time we've gone together, like he takes big risks and I take like no risks and he makes a lot of money and I end up losing $80 or whatever.

And he's like, oh, you need to take risks, you know? And I'm like, oh, but it's my money. It's just longer. I suck at it this is uh this guy dave said some risks but he said quote doubt i'd ever do it again but it sure caused a fuss and created a buzz and a lot of extra prize money for the ladies women are every bit as good as men in any game that requires mental skill and wits he is technically technically correct and it's the greater male variance hypothesis. What he's saying is,

if you were to probably do, if you probably were to average it out, you would find that the average man and the average woman are probably comparable in general skill in games like poker or chess. The issue is, there are substantially more stupid men who suck

and competent men who are good because there's greater male variance so most women fall in the middle and then i feel bad for women because that means it means for for women they are more likely to encounter stupid men and smarter men yeah so it's just frustrating across the board well and this is every time dealing with men as a woman that's right well i'm sure pain in the ass look because most of them are dumber than you yeah and then a lot of them are smarter but they're a couple a couple well it's actually a bell curve so you have i was talking about me personally oh yeah for sure but i mean like the the the day-to-day interaction for a woman working in an office is probably going to be

with the lower end of the bell curve men and so women are probably experiencing many more stupid men than men experience of women yep well you, you talk to these male feminists and you try to explain this principle. You say men are more likely to be smart or dumb, whereas women are more likely to be average. And they go, I've never noticed that women seem less intelligent than me. I have bad news, buddy. I have bad news about where you are on that spectrum. Whenever a dude's like, oh, they're so much smarter than us. I'm like, ooh.

You already said male feminists So already like you know He's at the lower end of the bell curve But I mean it makes sense That you know dudes That are more aggressive And actually that are smart guys They're going to be the ones That are going to go out

And try to start something On their own And I'm sure But we need that Yeah absolutely We need that But in an office It's going to end up

With the midwits Yes Being in an office it's going to end up with the midwits yes being in office is awful yeah so a lot of these prominent feminist writers are midwits and uh so for those like who like the women who work at jezebel and vice oh you mean like taylor lorenz and all of these they're midwits you can go to media matters they are slightly above average in intelligence and that means they're going to be surrounded by a bunch of really dumb men. And then they're going to, you know. The perfect socialist. Report that experience.

Yeah, you got to understand this too. I'm going to swear, but this is an actual scientific term. So I'm warning everybody. This is the actual academic phrase. Sneaky fucker. Really? That is not an insult. It is not a gag gag it's not a joke

it's a reference a little insulting well it's a it's a reference to in biology in species you have the dominant men and you have the dominant males and the sneaky fucker males and the sneaky fucker males will go in the middle of the night in some species and then reproduce under the you know they'll sneak in to reproduce while the dominant strong man who is the authority is unaware. That's why they're called sneaky fuckers. Male feminists are described similarly in that they are men who will say whatever they think the one wants to hear in order to get access to reproduction. Then you have the confident, you i guess you know strongman types who win or or through confidence and status are attractive to women so you have the sneaky fucker and then you have the

the sneaky fuckers though like they're they're very like you can see that when you look at them not when you're in birth control not not not when you're a male feminist not when you know not not when you're a feminist and you're surrounded by nothing but nothing fuckers guys yeah and surprise surprise it is no surprise to me that these feminists are writing articles being like all men are this way it's like yeah because you've surrounded yourself with nothing but low quality sneaky fucker men well and they always project that's why those guys always go men just want to use women's bodies you're telling me about yourself you're just hanging out you're telling me about you i'm pretty sure michael knolls who married his high school sweetheart and had a family was intending on more than just having a body of this person for decades exactly and you and i

were speaking about this on my podcast a while ago but what they project in such egregious ways they say conservatives just want to use women for their bodies and only see them as birthing people even though they use phrases like birthing person and now they're all they're advocating for surrogacy where you literally just use a woman for her body and see her as a baby maker rather than a person you're committed to yeah i think everyone knows how i feel about surrogacy we've been through that indeed yeah it's it's a self it's it's a i don't know how you correct for this problem when liberal women surround themselves with male feminists you repeal the 19th i mean i don't think that changes that women are going to be surrounded by men who are going to say whatever the women want to hear in order to get access to banging them i think there's a misconception right about

relationships uh i think when you fall misconception right about relationships i i think when you fall in love with your high school sweetheart you should probably marry them you should probably marry the person you fall in love with and well that's not what they're saying nowadays no nowadays all these other things i saw this thing on instagram and it was like you're gonna have three great loves in your life and it went to list them and it was like the first love right this is a horoscope no this was like it was on instagram i don't know it was the it was the sneaky fucker algorithm is what it was okay like is it this instagram thing he's like hey i'm number three right you know it's the best one

but it was like it went through them all like all these different things and it was like well why not just why not just get together with the person you fall in love with first what's happening is that's not a feminist are working for these corporations like Vice, BuzzFeed, et cetera, and they're surrounded by sneaky fucker men. Yes. And again, I'm not saying it's an insult. I love your loophole. It's not a loophole.

It's an actual biological term. I understand. It's a biological word. Biologists describe this method of reproduction as sneaky fucker. Well, I appreciate it. So what happens then when these women are sitting around and they're like what do you think about sexual liberation of course the sneaky fuckers are like yeah it's empowering you should totally bang everybody protest topless that'll

show us in the early days of the feminist movement the feminists were not all gung-ho about abortion it was men who got involved and were like let's put abortion and everyone was like i guess consequence free sexual access look i wanted to hook up i don't want to have a family right so why didn't you go it's like uh dennis in um uh it's always sunny it's always sunny when he you know he supports the pro-choice because he's like i don't have a family are you crazy yeah that's bold of that show to do that joke to be honest oh but that's a no no i i i saw a lot of it when i was younger but they that even even right now i'm actually impressed with some of the jokes they've been willing to do wait are they still on yeah

yeah i haven't watched it yeah i guess they just did an episode with um brian cranston and uh aaron what's aaron paul probably the bad guy yeah, yeah. Both of them. Let's jump to this next story. Ladies and gentlemen, crack open your celebratory drinks. We've got breaking news. From the New York Times, Vice is said to be headed for bankruptcy. The company, which was once valued at $5.7 billion, has been struggling to find a buyer this year. In fact, they're reporting it's going to go to auction. Look at this.

I got $50. I had the offer stands. 50 bucks. Vice would continue operating normally and run an auction to sell the company over a 45-day period

with Fortress Investment Group in pole position as the most likely acquirer. This is amazing. That's it. It's all coming crashing down. It is kind of sad, I got to tell you.

When I started at Vice, it was not as bad as it had become. In fact, it was quite good. Shane Smith, the CEO, had gone on Colbert and said, look, we're not Democrats or Republicans. We're storytellers. We're just trying to figure this thing out. And I'm like, that's amazing. The videos they were producing were just like your bar buddy telling you a story about how he walked to this place. Here's what he saw.

There was no pretense. There was no authority. And then as soon as they got money, he said, bring in the pretense, bring in the authority and bring in the feminists. And it burned the company to the ground. I got to be honest.

When Vice was sex, drugs, and rock and roll and edgy, it was skyrocketing. It was cool. And the moment they decided to get woke, they went. Yeah, well, it's like what Elon Musk was cool moment they decided to get woke they went yeah well it's like what elon musk was saying about the woke mind virus you know and it took over vice yeah and it destroyed it took over buzzfeed there's nothing basically like that's the reason post-millennial

exists there's literally nothing yeah there's nothing cool about woke right like it's cool to be nice to people and and that's what you you know you want to treat people with respect and stuff i get it but there's nothing edgy there's nothing cool about being woke and vice's whole foundation was built on being edgy and cool they snuck into north korea like the whole point was supposed to be their ball like their new york parties were always sexy and really fun well i mean i never went but but it was uh you know it's like it's supposed to be edgy and cool and then it it's like all woke is is just like society's hall monitors and it sucks because all they ever do is you can't say this can't do that blah blah blah blah and it's totally antithetical to what vice started out as it was supposed to be the cnn of the street it was supposed to be anti-establishment it was edgy it was taking over and then as soon as

they got any semblance of of money immediately joe biden's coming in for an interview back there during the obama administration we're going to get oh we're so excited for this they went full and just as soon as the government came a knocking as soon as the investors came a knock and they said we will do anything you say. And this was inevitable. Yep. Now, I'm sure they're going to come out and try and give you all the reasons about, well, it's changing landscape and media. No, I disagree. There's a reason why Timcast is expanding and Vice is imploding and BuzzFeed is imploding.

And there's a reason why all of these journalists are just so salty. I offer them jobs every time. Do you really? Absolutely. Absolutely. But, you know. Has anyone taken you up on it uh there actually are people at vice who are good people who are just documentary filmmakers

who are like let me know if you ever need a pitch because you know we've always want to go and travel and do some stuff you should buy media well and this is what that's a non-profit well the people there who are good are the people there at vice who are good are going to find jobs making things that are good instead of that garbage and the people there who suck who are good are going to find jobs making things that are good instead of that garbage. And the people there who suck and are dragging the company down are going to either change or they're not going to find work. So that's the thing. It's creative destruction. I can't believe it's funny.

It really is sad. I mean, I looked at the old Vice building for sale, $34 million. Oh, wow. It's a compound in Williamsburg in New York. It's got a whole bunch of business in it but man i i went and looked at it since vice moved to a new building in south you know the southern part of williamsburg in new york and uh the old building's just falling apart it's like nothing it's like graffiti all over it i think a large portion

of it was actually torn down yeah and it is i'm like man i'm looking at the picture and i'm like i used to stand out in front of there you know just talking smack with other employees all these stories talking news talking politics finance and uh now it's all just falling apart yeah and it's crazy because i'm just thinking back to 20 2012 2013 when i'm like 2012 i'm talking to these guys 2013 i'm getting hired over there and they would not listen but you know what part of me i wonder is if shane smith cares i think he does because brand was always so important to him it was always the most important thing to build up the brand and i think he wanted vice to become disney to become cnn to be this legacy brand and because of his inability to see what was happening around him

and his embracing of this crackpot cult garbage he burned his own name to the ground and now what does he have to show for it well look he may still be worth a lot of money but most of his wealth was tied up in vice so when people said that he was a billionaire, it was only because of Vice's value at $5.7 billion. He cashed out, I think, like $30 or $40 million, maybe. And now that Vice is worthless and entering bankruptcy and going to be sold, I don't know how much I'll even get out of this. I think it is too bad. I always really liked their photography and, you know, the, like, edgy nature of it. I thought it was fun.

But those people who were good at doing that they're gonna find work at organizations that are decent yeah exactly they'll be able to start something new themselves exactly because with it with an organization like this and this is part of why i'm cheering it on it's not because i'm glad that the people who are talented and hard working and dedicated are out of work it's because all of those people were locked into an organization with a bunch of idiots who were woke and had no idea how to direct the company. And now the workers who are genuinely good are free to pursue opportunities at companies that will guide them better and lead them better.

Or like you said, start their own businesses. And I think that's a beautiful thing. Yeah, I think it's always good to start your own enterprise. One thing, I mean, at Postmillennial, I came on in 2019 as a freelancer. And now I'm like, you you know you're top dog part of running the company and like i you know i'm part of running the company i don't don't try to avoid accountability here all right i will take full responsibility but i am only part of running running the company but i will take full responsibility anyway but the uh the fun thing about it and like a big part of running the company, but I will take full responsibility. Anyway, but the fun thing about it

and like a big part of the reason I wouldn't want to go somewhere else is like I've been working on it this whole time. I've been like making it with these people that I really enjoy that work there. And it's like, we built this thing. Why would we, I would never want to do something else. Like my hands are stuck in the muck of this

project this may be one of the biggest get woke go brokes we have ever seen i pulled up a story from 2017 vice media's shane smith is now a billionaire they said that due to a due to a 450 million dollar investment round shane smith's holdings were now worth some $1 billion. They say that he had roughly 20% of Vice. After applying a 10% private company discount to its valuation and adding Smith's spread of some $33 million in real estate, his net worth totals an estimated $1 billion.

If he had 20% of the company, and that's what put him at a billion dollars, with Vice currently going bankrupt, his net worth is now in the low tens of millions he's broke he went i looked down on him he has nothing tens of millions no no no hold on he's he's he's got more money than he could ever spend i'm sure he even said he says in this he says i don't give an ish about money i've got more money i'm worth more money than i can ever spend

that's absolutely absolutely true so he's going to be able to retire very, very comfortably and probably be independently wealthy for the rest of his life. He never has to work again. But going from being a billionaire running one of the most valuable media companies to losing all of that in a matter of a few years, all because they wanted to get well. And you know what? They want to make any excuse they can. And I can prove outright, or i'll just say outright it is bs vice had no reason to lose its standing

it was the wokeness it is divisive it splits your audience and they hyper polarized they they basically told everybody who ever liked vice to f off. Let me tell you a story about when I was talking to one of my producer buddies that I've known from Vice for a long time. Vice ran an article and it said, this horrible app can show you what women look like topless. And it said, someone developed an AI app that if it takes a picture of a woman, you can press render and it will ai remove their top and i said do you know what vice's headline would have been in 2013

this amazing app can show you any because they were mocking they were trying to be edgy and be like screw you can do it everyone and they decided to get woke and be hall monitor feminists and they basically told their entire audience you are are bad people, F off. And I was told by this dude at Vice, well, but we have to change. We can't do that anymore. And I'm like, then you're gonna fail. Because people-

You're not gonna be Vice. I don't know. Change your name. I think it's fair to say- You are now trans Vice. I think it's fair to say that app sucks though. I think it's fair to say that particular app sucks. But the point was,

it's not that Vice's old headline would literally be intending to talk about how great it is the app exists. It was meant to insult the established narrative and be edgy and say, screw your system. But instead, they became hall monitors. I mean, I got to be honest, they probably wouldn't have even written the article. They'd be like, who cares? Let's complain about how screwed up everything is and tell everyone to go F themselves, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Instead, they were like, let's put on our button up shirts and then go complain about

how oppressive these people are. All they did was start ponying up to the establishment narrative. And people don't care for that, especially young people. But more importantly, this is what Bud Light did. Vice went to their readers and said, now that we have investment, we don't care about you. And we're going to target a different demographic. And guess what? The younger demographic did not care. They did not care for the hall monitor style of content. Well, and they don't like it. I mean, because what all of these

wokey people and the corporations don't realize is that they are now the establishment, and the kids are coming up, and they're looking at it, and they're going, stop telling us what to do. Stop telling us what to believe. We don't subscribe to your whole worldview. We're going to bucket. We're going to get off this whole train. And so that's what they're doing. Like, you know, my son and his friends, they look at this stuff and they see right through it. They see that it's total ideological garbage and they want to make their own way. They want to come up with their own opinions and ideas. I have two teenage nephews and they're the same. Yeah. And I have mad respect for these kids looking at being like, you the establishment and the millennials didn't realize that when they

were buying into this whole narrative it was the establishment narrative you know and gen z i i think we're still waiting to see what happens with them but you know they're all these this guy sykes with the tampon guy and all this stuff that's's what they're doing. And they're getting all this money from the Biden administration now to be influencers and to start, you know, spilling this garbage narrative. Oh, yeah. Did you see those two Twitter guys, the Gen Z, what's his name?

You know, talking about the two Gen Z dudes who are making videos where they're all smarmy and like, we don't like the Republican thing. We're not paid by the DNC. And there's a community being like, they're hired smarmy and like, we don't like the Republicans. We're not paid by the DNC. And there's a community note being like, they're hired by a management firm that's funded by the DNC. They're getting community notes.

The greatest trick the establishment ever pulled was convincing people that it wasn't the establishment. That was really clever. Obama did that. He did an amazing job. Everyone thought they were counter-cultural because they liked the president, which is absurd. When I was a teenager i found it very patronizing when i would

have the misfortune of seeing anything on mtv because someone else was watching it i would cringe because it always felt very how do you do fellow kids and i knew that these were adults writing he's fantastic but it was obvious that these were adults writing young people saying the things that these weird creepy adults thought young people should be saying so that i would watch that and go that's so cool that's what i believe now but it made me extremely angry as a youth and unfortunately now they have this edge of being able to promote whichever voice they want through the algorithm on tick tock because sure you're always going to find young people who are mixed up and will repeat these

talking points and because it's not as highly produced because it's not clearly coming from hollywood or the establishment young people yes it seems organic and it seems like something the majority of young people actually believe because it's continually recommended by the algorithm and it's possible that among that generation, that's true. But regardless, my point is the propaganda catches on more easily when it's your fellow young people saying it and it's promoted as opposed to a highly produced television show that I know is being written by people in their 40s. Yeah, right.

It's very produced. It's extremely, it's very much the algorithm pushing pushing the idea is that that i don't think that are actually popular with people like i don't bud light's proof yeah you know i don't think that i think that it's a dylan mulvaney's five o'clock shadow and zero hips bust or butt are evidence that none of this stuff is popular. With young people, though, I mean. I think they reject it, and I think that's what we kind of— The other thing, too, the more we see, like, I was writing about this recently. I've been giving a lot of thought.

The current beauty standards are more unhealthy and unattainable than the previous ones. They're a rejection of beauty standards. Are we supposed to look like Elliot Page and cut our boobs off? Are we supposed to look like Lizzo and gain, I don't know, like a lot of weight? It's a rejection. She goes out there and says, and she's obviously very beautiful. Like she's a beautiful woman. I heard Jared Leto was trying to gain weight for a role.

So he would take a pint of Ben and Jerry's every night, microwave it, and then pour olive oil and soy sauce and start up and then chug it. Crazy that he was born that way. Why not just eat the ice cream? He gained weight so fast that he couldn't stand. Ouch. And he had to use a wheelchair. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's why he's a poor guy born that way. Because the salt helps absorb the water, I guess. I remember very distinctly, I used

to eat a pint of ice cream every day when I was in college. I was stoned. But I realized at a certain point, I was like, wait, I'm gaining weight. And I switched to a half pint and I stopped gaining weight. That was college. That's college. I'm finding a lot of people that I've known and a lot of personalities that I used to watch when I was growing up, pro skateboarders, musicians, are becoming more conservative. And I think there's a rejection of what

the left is doing to the point where you've got edgy urban liberal types who are just like y'all have lost your minds and now they're like people need to have families and get jobs and they used to be the sex drugs and rock and roll people and they're just like none of this is okay it's it's gone too far the degeneracy is literally destroying companies i'm not going to name anyone specifically but there are some famous skateboarders and musicians who are very much from the world of sex drugs and rock and roll who are now like have a family buy property work hard save for the future and i think it's because they're they're they're looking into the mirror that is the left and being like nah this is not that's how i ended up over here too i know guys like you know i'm i'm

perfectly happy to be a bit libertine but i don't think that that should be the social ethos yeah well this is one band all that remains yeah very often you know it's normal that as people get older they do tend to become more conservative part of what's so insidious now is that people on the left are encouraging these young people to receive body mutilating surgeries that they will not be able to reverse. And part of what ends up happening as a result of that is a person is so bought into it that they can never admit it was wrong. How do you admit that you were wrong? If you mutilate your body, how do you come back from that? Psychologically. Let's jump to the story because we do have big news kiss co-founder paul stanley 71 slams parents who confuse their children about gender identity branding child sex

changes a sad and dangerous fad this is the front man this is the guy the star on his face for kiss yeah that's the guy star child star child that's he doesn't even look bad he's 71 isn't that crazy yeah he doesn't look bad and uh he's aged better than me look at that does he have here we go he says uh i'll read some of what he says there's a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game, and then parents in some cases allow it. He says there are individuals whose adults may decide reassignment as their needed choice, but turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative or

believing that because a little boy likes to play just in his sister's clothes or a girl and her brothers, we should lead them steps further down a path that's far from the innocence of what they're doing. I think he's completely right. You know, kids will play with whatever toys because they're just kids. They're exploring the world. And what's happening now is this is the meme. It's a kid playing with a doll. And then the parent says, I'll prep the surgery, right?

It's like, oh, he played with a doll. Well, there it is. The funny thing is, and I've pointed this out, so has many others. How is it that they argue simultaneously that gender is a social construct? Meaning playing with dolls is not unique to males or females.

But then if a male plays with dolls or a female with a football, that proves they're actually identifying as the opposite sex. The weird thing too is the genderization of toys and clothes came i came like after my childhood after my brother's childhood and you started to go into the lego section and you would see girls legos and boys legos that didn't used to be the thing when i would hang out in my friend nikki's basement

and play with her brother's legos we just we just all played legos it wasn't a big deal and the same thing with the barbie dolls like we would just all play it wasn't a big deal. And the same thing with the Barbie dolls. Like we would just all play. It wasn't a big deal. No, I joined a girls Lego competition and I just crushed. I crushed. I joined a girls Barbie competition even and I still beat them. It was incredible. You would never beat me in Barbies. I would just like to say like I would kick your ass in Barbies.

In all seriousness, there was a clip I saw from your show and I can't remember the guest. And if you can, please shout him out. But he was saying there were studies on how boys and girls will play differently. They'll play with the same toy. But when the boy picks up the toy, he starts embodying the character he's playing with. Whereas when the girl picks up the toy, she has the character act the way she does. So even when we're playing with her as kids playing with different toys, we are the same. The way he described it, I feel bad that I can't remember who it was. when we're playing with or as kids playing with different toys we we are the same yeah differently

like the boy the way he described it i feel bad that i can't remember who it was but the way he described it is when a boy picks up a batman toy now he's batman he's like i'm batman and he's just playing like batman when the girl picks batman up batman's like do you want to have a tea party then batman wants a tea party exactly like batman i used to play Barbies with my friends at my mom's apartment and like the neighbors and stuff. We had this Barbie dream house. And my friend Julia's brother came to play with us. And he was older.

He was like 12, I want to say. And we were like 10 or something. But he took one of my Barbies that was disabled and strapped together with rubber bands. And he was like, this is the madam of the Barbie Dreamhouse. And we were like, what's that? What are you talking about? Television and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's talk about radio. The next thing you know, we had the Barbie brothel. We had this whole thing set up. It was ridiculous. And Tell them to talk about radio. The next thing you know, we had the Barbie brothel. We had this whole thing set up. It was ridiculous. And I told my mom about it. I was like, oh, Mark said this and that.

And my mom was like, uh- You can't go over there anymore. Seamus, it was Ethan Van Scriver who said that. Ethan Van Scriver was the comic artist. Oh, okay. Awesome. Yeah, comics gate. Someone mentioned in the chat.

I wouldn't know because I've never been female, but when I used to play with Legos, you're right. When I would play with toys, me and my friends would take the action figures or whatever, and we would voice them. We would be like, I am going to take over the world. The character was us.

We were acting as them. That's what we used to do with the Barbies. We'd make worlds. Well, then that's the opposite of what you're saying. Well i was just like that's what i was told we would do like stories we would like invent whole worlds with the barbies and mostly they ended up having sex the issue is when you would play with barbie was the barbie channeling you and you were like i'm barbie and barbie would do things no bar Barbie was another character. I distinctly. Liar. Barbie was like the character of the, you know. See, I distinctly remember when I was. But like we do the voices would be like, I'm going over here now.

Yeah. When I was a kid. Do you like my hair? If I was playing with like G.I. Joes or whatever and my cousins were playing with Barbie or whatever and they wanted to like have the Barbies and the G.I. Joes interact, I would get upset because they would want the G.I. Joes to do like Barbie things. And I'm like, no, G.I. Joes don, I would get upset because they would want the G.I. Joes to do like Barbie things.

And I'm like, no, G.I. Joes don't do that. He doesn't play that. They're going to fight and they would be like, no. This is why my cousin would be like, he had the Hulk Hogan and the Rowdy Roddy Piper guys. And so whenever I played Barbies with him, it was like wrestling Barbies.

Would they have like the G.I. Joes at the mall with the barbies and then one gf goes to the other and he goes hey that uniform what what uh platoon were you with he was stolen valor this guy's stealing valor i don't i don't think stolen valor was really a thing back then to be honest i'm sure it was they just got away with it because no one was filming it so d snyder yeah d snyder came out on twitter and actually agreed with paul stanley and so i'm feeling i'm feeling pretty confident and i'm feeling pretty white pilled as of lately because i think i think i think what's happening is that we are reaching

what critical mass i think bud light is very very important in more ways than people realize the fact that bud light sales are down 21.4% suggests to regular people who are the people who are like, I don't know what's right or wrong. I just want to be on the right side of history are now going, maybe it's not the woke people. If rock stars, celebrities, and the average person is not buying this beer anymore. So now imagine this Bud Light is uncool. Nobody wants to buy it. Now you're going to see an outright rejection of this because a regular person who normally just follows the trends is going to be like i don't i don't drink bud light whatever you say guys and then a beer company is going to hire an actual woman to advertise their beer it used to be that the joke was uh the joke family guy did no don't

do that she's really kind of revolutionary she'll modestly. And they say that drink our beer and beautiful women will want to have sex with you. And the commercial was women. That used to be the thing, yeah. That was the commercial. And now the commercial is if you drink Bud Light, you are sexually attracted to people of the same sex as you. And I don't think your average guy who's going to a barbecue wants to convey that message to his neighbors. So they're just like, that's not my—I don't drink that stuff. Don't look at me.

Bud Light, it's reverse conversion therapy. Cut your wiener off. So joking, bang the hole. I mean, they used to sell sex for everything. I think there, when it comes to a lot of alcoholic drinks,

like Bacardi Silver or O or whatever, I don't know if they still have those, but like fruity light drinks and wine coolers or whatever are seen as effeminate they still have those. But like fruity light drinks in wine coolers or whatever are seen as effeminate. And guys want to drink like Guinness, like a strong dark beer or something. So now you have Bud Light

being like the frilliest of foo-foo brands. Exactly. And outright stating like... Yeah, like White Claw is more masculine. If they were selling like strawberry daiquiris, I could understand. Yeah. But now you have a beer that is widely seen as effeminate and surprise surprise to all of the woke gen zers or whatever guys don't want to be seen as weak and to be fair that's who drinks

beer like dudes drink beer women buy those fruity things those like bud lights are the beer that you get for like the hour or were the beer that beer that you get for the afternoon because you didn't want to have too heavy beer and it's kind of thirst quenching and stuff. And then you drink the heavier stuff later. Nobody's doing that anymore. No one's drinking that anymore. It's the beer that you buy because you're not only manly enough to drink beer, you're manly enough to not care if anyone you're with wants good beer. So you bring that over. That's the demographic.

They're like Dylan Mulvaney. That's who will slap up. Shut up and drink. It is pretty masculine, right? wants good beer so you bring that over that's the demographic they're like dylan mulvaney that's who will slap up shut up and drink it is pretty masculine right my main point with with bringing this subject uh back up is regular people the left is trying to win the culture war by saying you are on the wrong side of history and because civil rights is the right side of history they're trying to pretend that they represent civil rights when in fact they represent segregation and fascism and fascism. And fascism. And fascistic ideologies.

Compelled speech. But they're wearing a mask of civil rights. Now that regular people, though, are saying no to Bud Light, many people who are following the woke are going to question whether or not that's the safe place to be. Because they were just going along with the crowd. Hey, the crowd's not there, man. The crowd's clearly boycotting Bud Light. What ended up happening to Gillette's numbers after that ad? I think they were a men's brand.

They were a men's brand. And I remember people saying, go woke, get broke, or get woke, go broke, whatever. I'll tell you what happens. When Hershey's had a male sponsor their women's candy bar. That Canadian. That crazy Canadian. We got this delicious She Her Candy Bar by Jeremy's Chocolates. Isn't it hilarious? And I will stress,

they don't pay me to do this. They do not. Dude, people, and it's funny, because whenever anyone responds... I know, but I feel weird chewing into the mic. Wait, I'll just... Unbelievable. There you go.

Whenever these boycotts happen, people go, oh, absolutely. Why do you care so much? I don't know, because it's being forced onto me at all times by everyone? Because we're literally a year away from S the D bigot. No, dude, that was like two years ago. Well, I mean, yeah, that was the joke two years ago. I really do.

It's getting to the point where there are people that do, and not that there's a lot of people that support the argument there are people that do make the art the argument that if you won't date a trans woman if you're a straight man and you won't date a trans woman you're a bigot and i don't give a shit i'm a bigot i don't care you know who really gets pushed the has this pushed on them as are lesbians yeah exactly lesbians are like wait i'm not doing the right thing. What am I supposed to do? Let me do the right thing. I'll do the thing.

And so, yeah, lesbians are easy to push around, it turns out. You know what the crazy thing is? Like a lot of women. I read before that in Iran, if you're a gay man, they force you to get a sex change. And if you're a gay woman, the same thing. But now what we're seeing is these young women who are autistic and gay are being told they're trans and should get you know sex changes or whatever

or mastectomies and that's like weirdly similar to what iran does it's very similar to what iran does and it was like what like four thousand four hundred percent increase in young women uh deciding to be trans so this was interesting so you have all these young women deciding to be trans. So this was interesting. So you have all these young women deciding to be trans. See, more chocolate. You have all these young women deciding to be trans right around puberty. And they look at like the,

you know, they look at like womanhood and they're like, I don't want any piece of that. That seems awful. You've got like the tampons. You've got the whole thing. It's awful.

There's nothing. It's hard to see anything good about it, right? And so they decide that they want to be boys instead and they go through that whole want to be boys instead and they go through that whole thing i was recently seeing i think it was um a writer who does a lot of trans writing and stuff is basically hitting menopause like pre-menopause and being like i am trans masculine now and it's kind of this it's the reverse of kind of the same thing you're

she's looking at crone hood she's looking at being an old woman. No one wants to be an old woman, even more than no one wants to be a grown-up woman. You look at this, everything in your body just like sags down. It's terrible. It's horrible. Nobody wants any part of that. And so now she's going to be masculine.

She's getting a breast binder. And it's like, yeah, because they're already like hanging down to your navel probably. You know, it's not, like just. So it's like the same kind of thing like when a woman hits a change of life whatever that change of life is she's like i don't want any part of that and who can blame her it sucks well also no i think that's a very good point i mean girls are generally uncomfortable during puberty there are a lot of changes there

and especially when you look at the current cultural paradigm women are told not to want to do things that are natural to women and also one aspect of this people don't talk about is that the average age of first exposure to pornography is 13 years old and there is really gross horrible hardcore stuff out there and you can absolutely imagine a girl encountering that and going oh my gosh that's what sex is that That's what happens to women. No, I don't want to be a woman. Someone super chatted that we should look at Noodles, the guitar player from The Offspring's reaction to Kiss. And I just want to say this. I know this is a bit personal for me to say, but this may be one of the greatest days of my life.

The guitarist from The the offspring has me blocked the very first song i ever learned how to play on the guitar was the kids aren't all right written by this man and he has blocked me on twitter truly a day for me to behold was your cover that bad uh he's uh he probably blocked me because you know i'm friends and play music with their old drummer who they crapped all over because they're nasty evil people and uh man you know what i will say one thing that frustrates me is that there's a lot of secrets about celebrities that if people only knew but this guy from my understanding is lying about everything really i can't say much more it's not my place to say and that bothers me but until someone comes out and comes on the record about the band

and about their actual um let's just say about the truth there's not much more i can say but what i will say is this many of these people in hollywood who post these tweets do so just because they want to get the pr brownie points and they voted for Trump. Oh, and they voted for Trump. For one reason. Taxes. Taxes. That's it.

They don't care about anything. Yeah. These people. That's why a lot of rappers will vote for Trump. Yep. Because they're like into the not having to pay. Now, here's what I want to say. I don't believe any rappers voted for Joe Biden.

I don't care what they say publicly. I don't know why you would ever. None of them voted. They're all like, I'm voting for Trump. Let me show you. Trump's baller and Joe Biden's an old creepy man. Let me show you what Noodles actually said. I clicked his Twitter account to see his response to Paul Stanley and saw that I was blocked.

He said, this is a very disappointing take, especially from someone who wore high heels, makeup and teased up hair his whole career. As a young kid, your band helped teach me that I could be whatever I wanted to be. I guess it was just gimmickry after all. Ben Collins of NBC says, the idea of Kiss, of all bands complaining about gender nonconforming people, is just chef's kiss. The funny thing is, he is, of all the people,

to come out and say, kids should not be doing this, he is the perfect person in that he wore high heels and makeup and he never cut off his genitals he never did not even one time being made you can't even try it he outright says children may dress in their brothers and sisters clothes and that's just something they want to do don't tell them to to get surgeries and drugs and they're coming on being like yeah but you wore those clothes he said it's okay that kids do you can wear the clothes it's like that's the thing about drag that drives me crazy too is

you have all this like drag for kids and it's like guys drag is an adult thing we all had a great time at the drag show why why are we suddenly imagining that a bunch of guys who dress up like campy women like like fake beauty pageant women, and have taken on entertainment stage names that are like sexual names for the most part. Why are we imagining that these are the people who should be entertaining and educating our kids? It doesn't make any sense. It's a horrible modern daily.

Nothing is wrong with, like go to the drag show, have a great time, get trashed, enjoy yourself. Listen, I'm a little bit of a libertine here and there so but like i never had an issue with that i've been to plenty of drag shows you know i've

had friends who do drag but uh don't go hang out at my kids library doing drag is not surgery yeah and don't go reading them books about how they should cut their dicks off yeah well i think matt walsh said it very well when he described drag as burlesque for gay men. Sure. It's basically what it is. Well, and a bunch of fag hacks, too. Yeah.

Yeah, I just, I've never heard that phrase in a long time. It's been a while. I know. It's great. It's been a while. But I mean, you're...

I think it's probably not politically correct anymore to say that. Nothing's politically correct. As soon as you open your mouth, you're going to get canceled. We're all done. I mean, you showed up here at the castle. You're over.

It's done. I think that it's obvious. It should be obvious. And I really think that the average person, when they hear what goes on when it comes to surgeries and stuff, they're like, that's not right. That's not, that is so far outside of how we treat any other issue that anyone has ever. Like you don't cut up healthy bodies because of psychological issues, whether it be AGP or whether it be dysmorphia or whatever you want to call it.

Right? Like I don't believe the wrong body thing. Cause I'm not a guy that believes in a soul. I think your brain is your brain. You're not born with a man's brain in a woman's body. You're born with a woman's brain in a woman's body or a man's brain in a man's body because your brain is part of your body. That's it. That's the physicalist approach.

Yeah. I mean, that's how I – I mean, I'm not a spiritual guy. That's just my thing. But also gender isn't the soul's how I, I mean, I'm not a spiritual guy. You know, that's just my thing. But also gender isn't the soul. Like even if you are spiritual, gender is not the soul. Well, yeah. And it turned,

but that's where it becomes that whole creepy weird religion thing that the left has got going on. Well, it's a cult. It's a cult because there's no forgiveness. I would say this. Religions have forgiveness. And I would add this in there as well.

I do believe in a soul, but also I believe human beings are a body soul composite and you are both it's not like you're a body and you have a soul or you're a soul and you have a body you are your body and your soul the idea that you are something different from your body is a contradiction it doesn't make sense right yeah don't cut your wiener off yeah please please that was an excellent response to the spiritual. Yeah. No, he summarized it.

Put it in layman's terms. And I think there is something, you know, I think there is a spiritualness to having a sexual life, you know? So I think it's just really a crime to destroy these children's bodies before they have a chance to be involved in loving relationships. 100%. The fact that there are so many people that advocate to do things pre-puberty, because allegedly it makes it easier to transition, which I don't believe because there's the

stories of Jazz Jennings, like how her body is a train wreck because she went. That's not a good situation so anyways my point being like i i can't see how and i keep coming back to the same same point i can't see how endorsing surgery on children people you know people that haven't their brains haven't even fully developed go by what the insurance companies say the insurance companies know you can't you know when i was 25 to rent a car like that's it when i was 12 years old i knew that i really wanted to do drugs like i was very clear on that i was like oh that's interesting i definitely want to do drugs and i thought okay you're 12 so maybe just like hold off and i made a deal with myself i was like okay you got to hold

off until you're 18 and then you can try that's the most mature thing i've ever heard a 12 year old do i didn't think about drugs until i was 15 and someone said you want to smoke a joint i said yep well that way well that way when somebody was 50 when i was 15 and someone was like do you want to smoke a joint i was like no i gotta wait i actually had someone offer me cocaine when i was 16 and i had really wanted to do cocaine when i was 12 this was like one of the drugs i'll tell you the story another time it's for the the after show it's definitely an after show story all right anyways um but yeah so someone offered me cocaine when i was 16 and i was like you know what i i have to wait until i'm 18. all the drugs like lsd all the stuff i was like i gotta i'm waiting on that

so i think when you're 12, you, you, you have a way to know like, Hey, maybe I shouldn't cut my boobs off. I didn't. I was a spaz.

Shockingly. I was a, I was a alienated, bullied weirdo, but I, I knew some stuff. Yeah. I mean,

shockingly people don't know what's best for them when they're younger. I remember a few years ago, I was at a bar with one of my cousins and we must have been in our early 20s and the bartender there was a bit older she was i believe in her 50s and my cousin said something like i'm never gonna have kids the bartender goes how old are you and she says i'm 22 and the bartender's like shut up you you're 22 years old okay you're not gonna sit here and tell me that you're never gonna have kids because you don't want to have them right now you're gonna get older and you're

probably gonna want them i had that experience when i was 22 i didn't want to have kids i think well i think many women in this culture do and i'm not saying that that's historically normal but in this culture it's certainly normal in your early 20s to not want kids and it doesn't mean that you're never going to want them later yeah yeah historically i think it's it probably was odd historically very abnormal yeah i actually think i'm not kidding i heard that spinster was defined as unmarried by 22 i need to double check on that but i was born when my mom was 26 and i remember that being like she's old i was my mom i think my mom was 22 when i was born okay so in the 17th century a woman was considered an old maid if she remained unmarried and childless by the time she reached her mid-20s

today the word spinster is more commonplace and is used to refer to women between the ages of 23 and 26. I've never heard it used to refer to women between 23 and 26, but probably because I live in the West. I bet you in other countries it's more shocking to them. Probably. Yeah. Could be. Have we solved all of life's problems? Yeah, we fixed it.

We got really close. I think we can move on. I found out that I'm an old spinster today. Yeah. You're in your 20s? Yes. Good for you. Clock's ticking, though.

I've almost run out of 20s. Uh-oh. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Your 30s are going to be great. You know what? I appreciate the optimism. I don't know, with all the banks collapsing

and stuff. I don't know if that's going to be your story. I think it's all good. Like, there's always Well, people used to want to get older. it's all good. Like, there's always a famous. Well, people used to want to get older. That's the thing.

Like, people have always enjoyed youth, but there was a time when gaining age was seen as gaining experience and therefore wisdom. I can't remember who the ancient philosopher was who said it, but no wise man ever wished to be younger. Yeah, my son was telling me recently he's afraid to grow up. And I was like, you're going to be an awesome adult. You're going to be great. You're going to get to do whatever you want. You're going to be younger. Yeah, my son was telling me recently he's afraid to grow up. And I was like, you're going to be an awesome adult. You're going to be great. You're going to get to do whatever you want. You're going to be responsible. It's going to be terrific. And he was like, uh, and I was like, no, for real, it's going to be really good. Yeah. And it's natural for people to prefer

youth or want to be young. But on top of that, our culture puts extra emphasis on it. We have a very disordered valuation of youth. We place it on far too high a pedestal i think that's true too that's probably accurate i i've always viewed youth midlife and aging as the human experience that people are supposed to uh supposed to experience yeah so like i when i was younger and i'm seeing all these these like women or they want to act like they, what I was told is women always want to be 24 when they're younger, they want to dress like they're older when they're older, they want to, they want to put on makeup and look like they're younger. And I was kind of like, doesn't everybody go through life where you have these things to experience? You get old. It's a part of it. It's a part of life. It's, I mean, I guess if

we invent cures and immortality and stuff, people will just be satisfied with being young forever. But for the time being, it's kind of like yeah we're all gonna get old you know enjoy it you get to experience it something you will feel and you will you will learn from and you will see and you will uh you will remember i just want you'll die i just want people to know that in chat luke said i'm 45 and now people are saying i'm 45 in potato years i guess that also works yeah multiple people 28 yeah 28 is 45 in potato years what's the math on that i mean i have no idea i'm not old enough to be good at math yet i don't think i will be they say iq peaks at like 22 so it's all down here as the old guy at the table just the

only thing that i have to say about about getting older is like just keep your body in good shape by like exercising because like i don't want to i'm pushing i'm pushing 50 and i have like i go to the gym and i don't have any of the aches and pains that i hear other people my age talk about we have the exact same age phil i don't know okay we might be we can compare notes but um you won't just say how old you are well i will i'm not worried about it but ladies you know i'm okay i'm 48 yeah no she's the one who brought it up in me but only a little i'm 47 yes i just and i just turned 48 like a couple weeks ago okay luke just said i fart dust excuse me i have to please continue um but yeah like the the thing is like you if you stay you have to stay active and you

have to just don't lose don't don't gain a bunch of weight because you're going to be miserable whoa whoa you will buddy i hear that i hear some body non-positivity coming from over there yes if you don't appreciate you're overweight you have a negative body just make sure when you're eating your she heard jeremy's nutless chocolate bar you restrict yourself because 21 grams of sugar per bar. Only four ingredients and soy-free. Again, they don't pay me to do that. They're good. That's very kind of you. I guess my point is, I cut out

sugars today. You know what I had today? We went to, there's a market in Potomac, Maryland, and they have sushi-grade salmon. So we just bought a big piece of salmon and we just cut it and ate it raw. Yeah. With avocado.

That sounds perfect. Yeah. I made some spicy mayo. It was like, you know, being a sushi chef. Yeah, that's a really good. Healthy. That's a really good dish. Very healthy.

And to drink, I had this delicious rye with Roberto. So actually, the Roberto Roberto Junior we just got ours so for people who are ordering it they're going to start seeing it already but it came in the mail and I immediately

was like we got to brew some we got to brew some of course we've had it because we are the ones who like took all the samples and blended everything and then made it

but we're really excited to get it but yeah eating healthy I want to get some of the whole bean kind because I like to grind it yourself I do

yeah it's fresher and better yeah we have those too also it's fun it's sort of the whole bean kind because I like to. Grind it yourself? I do. Yeah, it's fresher and better. Yeah, we have those too. Also, it's fun. It is very fun. I like to press the button. Oh, you press. No, but what I'm saying is take care of yourself. Live your best life.

You know, be healthy. Exercise. Exercise is so important. It's so important for your mental health. It's so important for your body. I can't stress enough. Go out and exercise. I didn't start exercising until I was 30.

People who don't exercise don't understand. When you're sedentary, the, the, like, you might feel like this is baseline. This is what normal feels like. Ah, man. That if that's the case, when you start exercising consistently, you feel good all the time. It's so annoying too, because I'll be in a really bad mood and I'll realize I haven't exercised

and I'll be like, damn it. Now I have to go exercise and then I feel better. And then I'm annoyed. It's annoying that you're feeling, you're like, man. I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but telling people that they're actually capable

of making a difference in their life by making better choices is horrible and unfair and cruel and marginalizing yes you're right we're not affirming people's poor choices exactly i always see that dude there is nothing that makes people more angry than saying hey if you're depressed like you should try getting a better sleep schedule getting a better diet exercise and you're like and you're like oh are you already doing those things they're like no you should do that again there there you like it that's funny like that the second time thank you that's how i'm going

to express myself more often i think you should point across you should be like that should be but that's literally that's literally what they do that's literally what they do when you it's a crazy day they get upset it is a dang old crazy day and i told that bank to invest better and they're like oh we're crashing i was like maybe invest better and don't buy bad assets and give out stupid loans. And they went, I don't have the energy for it. I kind of just feel like with that news of the bank collapse, people are just sitting around shrugging being like, we know, but whatever. That's kind of like what you do.

And then also you have Congress is going to have to vote to raise the debt ceiling. That's a mess. That doesn't none of that seems it doesn't seem good to do? And then also you have Congress is going to have to vote to raise the debt ceiling. That's a mess. That doesn't, none of that seems, it doesn't seem good to do it. And it doesn't seem good to not do it. We're all burned out on all of it. Just like we know the system has imploded. And there's no need to just say it at this point, buy some chickens. Sometimes the news day is like that.

So I wake up every morning. I scan all the headlines. I look at all of the newspapers. i start thinking about what we should cover and then you realize i should buy chickens and so actually i had there's chickens next door to me where i live and um this morning i kept hearing the rooster and i was like why am i still hearing this rooster and then i looked outside all the chickens had escaped they were all running over my yard and i was like wait a minute do, can I just go get one? Like, what do I do now?

I just let them go. And then I was driving over here. There were chickens like hanging out in front of my car. Don't get squashed. You drive around in West Virginia and you'll see chickens just walking around. Yeah. They go do their thing and they go home. That's it.

They're like the cats. Same thing in Hawaii. Really? With chickens? On Oahu yeah like you're all over the place I've never been to Hawaii I would love to go to Hawaii

it's really fun when I ride my I got my electric motorcycle and I ride it up here in the morning to come to work and I can see Chicken City and there's just some

doofy looking chicken just staring at me and I'm just like isn't life great well I come over here and they're all like talking to me and I'm like

And the elite members for this special third floor VIP. But we want to do Poker with the Boys, the show on the third floor. And oh boy, am I learning a whole lot about West Virginia law.

Pokemon and Magic the Gathering are illegal under West Virginia law. And I'm not being funny. I'm not being silly. The law was drafted before trading card games existed and so the law literally says any card game or table for any card game it doesn't define wagering money or making bets it outright just says card games and i think it's like i said uh card games are i think the first card game was magic the gathering in the early 90s but poker laws have been in the books going back 100 some odd years so they never legalized the right to play any kind of card game was Magic the Gathering in the early 90s, but poker laws have been in the books going back a hundred some odd years. So they never legalized the right to play any kind of card game. It was always viewed as illegal gambling. So I learned this because when we were researching

the law, we were told even playing poker for nothing, like a prop game where you just, everyone gets a set amount of chips, no one spends any money and you play for fun is also considered illegal gaming if a private business offers it. And I'm like, well, hold on there a minute. There are a bunch of places that offer a child can go into a game store, give $20, play a card game in hopes to win something of value, which is literally defined as illegal gambling in West Virginia, but they allow it. So that's what we're working on right now. And I spoke, this is really, really funny because I spoke with the government of West Virginia and I don't want to drag anybody, but the response I got when I mentioned like, what's,

what's the legal reasoning for, for, you know, these card shops that have Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic and Pokemon card games, where a person will pay money to enter a tournament, play a game, which includes skill and chance, and then win something of value. They said, oh, but that's all regulated by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. And I was like, you think these Pokemon tournaments are regulated under the West? You think these children, these game shops are signing up and buying license? They're not doing that. And he was like, oh, I don't know.

I think it's just no one knew it was happening. It's just under the radar. It's not because if it's not culturally enforced, who's going to? What cop is going to go to a Pokemon card game and be like, card games are illegal in this state. Sorry, kids, go on home. So my argument is,

what is their reasoning for allowing one, but not the other? And there's another super chat I'm going to read later on. I'll get more into detail, but let's read some more. Omega Resetsu says, Tim, the Federal Reserve is partly owned by JP Morgan Chase. I don't think Chase will go belly up due to the acquisition. The Fed will bail out Chase. Then the question is, why didn't the Fed bail out First Republic? And maybe for that reason, but that says to me, something shady is going on. And that's just me.

If I had money with Chase or a credit card, I wouldn't use it because I'd be scared that something shady was going on. Like they're trying to use banking crisis as a vehicle to implement a digital, a central bank digital currency in that if they can seize banks and then use federal money to sell them to JP Morgan. But like, here's the thing. The federal government seizes the bank, then gives JP Morgan money, then JP Morgan buys it from the government.

That is not a purchase. That is a government seizure and handing over of a bank with public funds to a private entity. Sounds shady to me. So here's the thing. So it does sound really shady. Are we at the point of no return? Like, how would you even stop something like this? What could you even

do? Like, it's going to happen, right? I mean, if it were it were me i just take my money out of the i i take my money out of chase i wonder if we're i wonder if the point of no return is like the event horizon of a black hole like do we pass it and not know it like has something are we already stretching yeah is it already already spaghettifying right right yeah spaghettifying that's the scientific term like sneaky fucker it's like the scientific term and yeah but that's a that's a real i know i'm just gonna say it a lot i think it was we're talking we're talking to peter bogosian when we was on the show when we were in austin he was explaining he's like i'm not you know saying this is an insult this is the actual term biologists

used yeah there you go well if peter all right say it on air what do we got here jason dixon says i don't know what y'all did but the show is so much better what have y'all done differently it's just the last week it's just the last week this has happened i i don't know something changed it feels more leprechaun-y you know what i mean like a little like there's like there's trolls under the i'm a little bit of a leprechaun man you know what i mean? I have no idea what that was supposed to be. I do have leprosy and I'm a con man. I thought it meant you had leprosy as well. It's both.

I have leprosy and I lie. I was just trying to compliment you, Seamus. Oh, thank you. You should be on a little island. Thank you. I heard that you- I want you all to know it's the nicest thing Tim's ever said to me.

I heard that you- And it involved insulting me. I heard you went on a podcast and the guy gave you a potato. Yes, I was on Pints with Aquinas and Matt Fradd, that dirty dog, shout out to matt fred well i told him to name the uh the episode matt and seamus waste five hours because literally we wasted five hours we yeah i i did his longest podcast ever at four hours and then george farmer uh beat that time so we had to beat it and we

should have edited like three and a half hours and we just we we we wasted a lot of time don't but he gave you a potato but he and he gave me a potato and it was really hurtful and i stormed out yeah hurtful yeah it was very hurtful if someone gave me a potato i'd be like oh thank you you don't really always bother me that's saying i have two then i can have dinner you know the saying if life gives you lemons you make lemonade life gives you potato make vodka if life gives me lemons i go oh wow i love lemons thank you life lemons are fantastic. I can put it on my fish. I can put it on some oysters or whatever.

You know what's really great? Make lemonade. I can make tea. If you take lemons right off the lemon tree, they're sweet. You don't have to add sugar. They're just delicious. Absolutely. When I was in Greece, I was in Crete, and we were like picking lemons off this lemon tree before these guys came out of the monastery and started shooting at us because apparently

we weren't supposed to touch the monastery's lemon tree. I didn't realize. Shooting? Whatever. Things happen. But we absconded with a good couple of lemons. And they were delicious. When life gives you lemons, you say, thank you, life.

These are delicious. When life gives you lemons, you run away from the man shooting at you. Whatever. It happens. All right. Here we go. Robert Knight says, it's a culmination i've been talking about since january they're consolidating deposits into a few major banks to make transition to fed now and future cbdc easier also debt limit cap happens in june that's what i'm saying this guy knows he

knows better than i do i'm like this this banking collapse stuff is good is how they implement a central bank digital currency your bank goes belly up then they say, we've rescued your money. Just download FedNow on the App Store, and all of your deposit has been converted to FedCoin, which you can use to make any purchase. It's the same as U.S. dollars. This is what I'm saying. I hate it, but how can we stop it? Don't, like, you have the option. I don't want to give anybody financial advice.

Sure. Okay, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Okay. I am taking my money away from institutions that are engaged in this kind of practice i'm investing in things like bitcoin currency uh bitcoin and cryptocurrency uh and investing in land and stuff like that and trying to have a decent amount of uh physical dollars as well as gold silver and other precious metals in the physical world other than that i'm looking at physical assets yeah but things that are considered to be of monetary exchange like a silver coin can be traded with someone as a universal uh you know holder of value but other than that there's also items that we may consider to be something that'll appreciate

in value what is a household item that may become hard to get that you would want to have that is good for trade value so what is hard to manufacture rice cooker primers eggs primers are impossible to get primers primers for firearms no i'm thinking about primers for for uh for a for a bullet yeah i was thinking like bullets because didn't didn't biden illegalize or make illegal incandescent light bulbs? Bullets. Because didn't Biden illegalize or make illegal incandescent light bulbs? Oh, I don't know. Don't we all prefer

the better light? But I mean, look at this. Dan Gingrich said the same thing. The bank crisis is intentional to reduce the number of banks

controlling the money so they can more easily institute central bank digital currency and use that to institute more control over the population. You see?

You see? We got smart people here watching this show. They know what's up. Voice of the People people is a serious question why invest in crypto if they control digital currency with eo 14067 and control the internet with the restrict act blocking access to to markets while finding millions and imprisoning for vpn use and assets because you can with bitcoin being decentralized i'm not telling you to buy any, they can control certain points of access, but they can never control the decentralized network, which stores

your value. And then you can always find some means of connecting to it, or you can store the crypto in cold storage and then physically transfer it to somebody in exchange for something. They've made, they've done transfers with all sorts of mediums you can send you can literally send like physical mail with the code to change oh really yeah you could you just have to send someone your private key if you want to send the send a bitcoin so i mean you can do all sorts of uh interesting and creative ways to transfer bitcoin that are not directly on chain. Oh, look at this.

Donald DeVole says, it gives me a headache anyways, but Barron's reports Bud Light sales fell 26% due to the backlash. Wow. Interesting. I always get so nervous that like the things I like are going to end up getting caught up

in all these dumb controversies and I'm going to have to not buy them anymore. I hate that. I have Nikes and stuff that I'm like, I can't even wear them anymore. At least I can't wear them here because I know that the chat will just, you wore that shirt that one time. I know I've got, I got a Nike hat and a couple pair of Nike shoes.

I'm never wearing them again. The lion says, Phil, I was at work by my, by myself Saturday. Didn't feel like listening to podcasts, wanted some music, put all that remains you got a new fan bud sick thank you i appreciate it there you go wishbone says jp morgan and city won't fail until the dollar does jp has the military industrial complex and the dod travel money goes through city. They're centralizing it. Interesting.

Seve Rose says, Grandpa, tell us again about the Bud Light Wars. All right, children, gather around. Will I tell you about a beer that everyone hated but fought over anyway? That's why it was so easy to win because Bud Light was never good to begin with. No, nobody wanted to drink it. Now they have a reason to be like, I'm drinking it. Definitely not. Easiest boycott I ever did.

I quit drinking years ago. I just don't understand why people drink that anyway. I think there's a lot of forgotten wars, like the Black Hawk War. No one remembers the Black Hawk War. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lincoln was involved in that. I was at an event, and I had a Yingling. It tastes good. I like it.

I like Yingling. I don't like drinking all that much but you know what we got here we got the dd mega doo doo says the shimmus and full episode is the one i've been waiting for now we need to have james lindsey and the two of you on together okay come on back jim yeah i want to hang out brado jacko says the goal of the fed is to collapse all smaller banks. So CBDC can be easily forced by the few huge Fed banks like Goldman that are allowed to remain. They'll collapse and consolidate.

And then the big banks will collapse. And they'll say, here's what's going to happen. They're hoping that someone like me looking at our business at Timcast sees our operating account collapse because our bank goes under. And then they want me to either say we have to do this. Otherwise, I can't pay my employees or cease to exist because we can't pay our employees. That's what that's how it'll happen. It is being forced in one direction.

Plan forward accordingly by talking to a financial advisor you trust today, which ain't me. Bye, guns. Satasha Catergator says, cheers from Vegas. I love poker. It's day four of being a Seamus fan. By the way,

y'all should check out Speechless by Michael Mills. Oh, wow. Are you in Vegas for the World Series of poker? I think that's starting now-ish or something like that. They were having

the World Poker Tour in Florida. That's why that guy joined the ladies event uh so that was and kicked ass yeah he showed those ladies out of play that's great the funny thing though is like he was a random guy who just showed up while all these women were actually there to compete i mean the jokes just made it right themselves yeah isn't that crazy kind of does it that one it really does step aside ladies all right let's uh i'm gonna grab i want to grab this super chat right here from yeah but trump because uh you got some fighting words there sir he says tim how much did you pay for the power nine cards in your decks how much did you pay for the aces in a deck you don't own how much thought did you put into a pokemon deck magic the gathering is

battle bots poker is throwing darts at balloons at a carnival no comparison you're right there the aces in a deck you don't own. How much thought did you put into a Pokemon deck? Magic the Gathering is BattleBots. Poker is throwing darts at balloons at a carnival. No comparison. You're right. There is no comparison. Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. are more chance-based than Poker is. I would, as someone who's played Magic the Gathering since I was like 8 or 9 years old, since

Antiquities or whatever set it was, barely had any idea what I was doing back then, and has played all the way up until now with a bunch of Commander decks, some that have extremely rare cards. I do not have Power Nine. Power Nine cards, for those that aren't familiar, are some of the most expensive Magic the Gathering cards in existence, costing thousands of dollars, and they're extremely rare. And so here's my point about Magic the Gathering. In Magic the Gathering, for those that aren't familiar, it is one of the most popular strategy card games ever. It was the first. When the game starts, you draw seven cards at

random from a shuffled deck. The game has spell cards and resource cards. Uh-oh. If you don't draw the correct amount of resource cards, you lose the game outright. Okay, not completely. There's something called a mulligan, but the likelihood you can win if you don't have a good draw starts dropping dramatically to the point where several pro players would just concede the game outright if they had two bad draws back to back. In poker, a hand is only a single portion. A shuffle of the deck and a deal of the cards is a tiny portion of the game, and it's free. No joke.

You can sit down at a poker table at a casino and spend no money, and they will give you cards. You can then look at them and say, these are not good cards. I'm not going to play this one hand. You can do that about five times before you have to actually pay what's called a blind, or you can get up and leave and never pay anything. With Magic the Gathering and Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, you pay the man at the card, the game shop, the card shop, a $20 entry fee.

That money goes towards the prize pool. You then cross your fingers and hope you get a good draw, and if you do, you might have a better chance of winning. Then pointing out the Power 9, even more random chance. I can't, when I was a kid, I couldn't afford to buy any of those cards. That meant my cards were always going to be garbage. And my likelihood of winning was extremely low. That's not skill. That's just buying in. The rich kids had better decks. This is why I like poker so much. Having been someone who's played magic my whole life, there it's completely equal footing. And the game is based

on whether or not you can figure out what your opponent is doing and whether or not you like, it's not, it's not even, not even about cards. I'll tell you this. I played this weekend and I got a garbage hand and I ended up winning against someone who probably had me beat because I played it better. In Magic the Gathering and Pokemon, which I think are fantastic games and they're skill based for sure. But my argument is there's just more random chance in those than in poker. Simply put, Hold'em style games, PLO, et cetera, should be legal. And so

should Pokemon and Magic. And it's just, I think it's discriminatory that these states and many states are allowing one game and not the other. I'll wrap it up there, but I can, I can go into great detail and talk about why I think it shouldn't be that way. We will read some more superchats from you. Kelly Ward says, thank you, Libby. They make fun of the products that were a little traumatizing when I was younger. I was 19 before I even bought my own tampons. They have no idea what they're mocking.

Oh, it's awful. It's so awful to have to go into the store and buy tampons and carry them up to the front and you stand there and they're like by your side and you hope nobody looks at you bs i've done it for girls and it's not that big of a deal it's not a big deal if you're a fella doing it for girls but if you're a girl you're walking up there you're like now everyone knows what's going on with my body it feels weird really and they used to do this thing at drugstores where they would like double bag it in a brown bag so that you could walk out and nobody would have to see what you're carrying home with you now you have to pay double for the bags now you have to pay for the bags and they only give you the plastic bags half the time and everybody can see right through it i find the whole thing humiliating the real hydro px with an embarrassed still

the real hydro px with an embarrassingly ignorant uh super chat says tim does this all the time he becomes an expert on anything he does. You will always pay if you're small blind and big blind. Tim knows it all. He's completely wrong. When you go to a poker table anywhere and sit down, they will say, do you want to buy the button or wait for it to pass? There's something called a forced bet in poker where it's, let's say you're playing a game. It's called one, two, a small blind is one. The big blind is $2. If you want to buy the button, you have to pay $3. That means that you are entering the game right at the point and you will, the button is the dealer button that goes around the table, determining what, whose turn it is and who plays it first and who's played, who plays last. If you sit down at a poker table, you can say, I will wait for the button to pass and you

pay $0. You will then be dealt hands. When the button comes around the table, each hand dealt, it moves one space. As soon as the blinds come to your right, you stand up and say, I am now leaving. Thank you for letting me play with you. And you've not paid a single penny. Real hydro. You are completely wrong. And it's embarrassing. It's really, really embarrassing. I mean, just man. Wow. I can't believe how embarrassing it must be for you. All right. let's read some more Super Chats. What do we got here? Captain Caveman says, noodles is woke if woke was a person.

Yes, embarrassingly woke. Poor noodles. Poor noodles. Aw. Yeah, it was Clapper of Cheeks who said, please look at noodles, soy reaction to kiss. Clapper of Cheeks. Love it. Soy reaction.

Jake Swift says, Atlanta barman here. Someone told me this weekend he'd rather choke down a Miller High Life than have Ultra because of Anheuser. That's the champagne of beers, isn't it? Yes. He didn't seem politically motivated,

but maybe trying too hard to be masculine. You see, that's what I'm talking about. Guys who drink beers do sometimes tend to be, try too hard to be masculine. You think? That's right.'m talking about. Guys who drink beers do sometimes tend to be, try too hard to be masculine. You think? That's right. That sometimes happens. Because if they were really masculine,

they'd be drinking whiskey. They'd be drinking strawberry daiquiris because they'd be secure in their sexuality. I tell you what, I can't hate on a Peach Bellini, man. I love my Peach Bellini. That one gamer says, is Ian returning anytime soon?

I disagree with him, but he's a pretty chill guy. Oh, he's the new co-host for Alex Stein's show. He's no longer here. He's gone. Ian just, he left. He packed his bags.

What happened is he had a stick with a handkerchief tied up at the end of it with a couple things in there and he said, I'm going! And he left and he hitchhiked out. Maybe he hopped a freight train. That's right.

He's got Bocas in the bag. It's just Bocas. It's just like... And the gene therapy treatment. Oh my gosh. I'm just kidding. He'll be back soon. Ian's downstairs. I literally talked to him this morning. Yeah.

Yeah, he was all excited. He's like, we got to work on stuff, man. I'm really excited. It's going to be great. Real Hydro, he's got a response. He says, if there are two people on the table, they can play for free. No, your claim is only right if the table is full.

Duh. That's what I said. The button goes around so you can play five hands for free. Jeez, is only right if the table is full duh that's what i said the button goes around so you can play five hands for free geez man these people don't even understand and then someone mentioned um we got zilla zilla says poker rooms charge time limit on games not rake it's called time rake and uh depending on the table some some do and some don't uh at mgm i just learned this the it's called a 510 table that means the small blind is five bucks the big blind is 10 bucks no rake crazy no rake a rake is when you when the pot in the middle of money the dealer takes a portion out for the casino itself it sucks over a long enough period of time every player will lose because the money going back and forth will keep getting smaller and if you play long

enough you will notice everyone's chips are going down. You play at the higher stakes table and they do what's called a time rake. Every half an hour, a new dealer sits down, you pay the dealer $7 and then play the game. Blinds are forced bets. You got to pay those. My point is simply this. At any table, you can play about five hands at a full ring without paying any money. And you can't do that for any Magic the Gathering tournament with stakes. You have to pay up front to the owner of the shop. That money goes towards the prize pool and the house takes a cut of it for their profit. That's no different from raking in a poker game. And here's the other thing. In the law, a wager is a bet that someone will win. And this is in Western Union. This is interesting, which means when you're playing Pokemon,

Yu-Gi-Oh, or Magic, when you buy into the tournament, you are saying I am buying into enter because I will win these games and then get the cash prize. In poker, a bet is not a determination that you are going to win. If I've got a good hand or bad hand, whatever. And then I say, I make it $15. I am not wagering that I'm going to win. I am saying if you would like to continue playing, you must also put forth $15. I don't know who's going to win. I don't know if I have the best cards and I'm not betting. I do. I'm simply saying that's the cost to keep playing.

And if someone might say, I don't want to keep playing, you win. And you can have the worst cards and win in that game. Not gambling. And I don't think Pokemon, Yu-Gi-ugioh magic should be regulated as gambling either i'm simply making the point that the legal arguments are nonsense but let's read more what do we got here in the old super jets rusty razor says tim two of the three big bank failures are san francisco regional banks maybe it isn't the banking system that's failing maybe it's the tech sector yeah but the um uh uh the first republic this was you know billionaires

like people were buying big assets on um crazy loans so it is it is silicon valley i get it all right brandon devore says as a magic player in tim's defense look up how many magic pros have gone to poker it's not even gone to tons of magic. The gathering professional players are simultaneously professional poker players. And having played magic most of my life, I think, I think poker is a better game because there's less what we would call variance. People call it gambling. It's a game of chance. No, it's just variance in the game. But if you know how to navigate the odds of the game and what people are going to do and when they're doing it, then I look at Magic the Gathering with like pros have a win rate of 51% to like your average poker pros win rate is 90 plus percent. And I'm just like, come on, man,

don't even bring that stuff to me. And I like Magic the Gathering. It's fun. I got a whole bunch of cards. Nuka Taco says you post big blind to get cards in a cash game only if you want to buy the button at first or if you wait until the big blind comes to you. Like I said, you can wait for the button to pass, play cards for free, then get up and leave because people do it. I don't know, whatever. Michael Otis says, Tim, have you heard of the artist Ren? His song High Ren is by far one of the most emotionally moving songs I've heard. Highly recommend a listen. Very cool. Robert Knight says, Tim, I just put the rest of the puzzle together. They'll use a bank bail, a bank bail, bail in to pay off bank debts, then issue the Fed CBDC as a replacement for the depositors. It's going to start to unfold

over the summer. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. All right. Real Hydro says, Tim, can you name the top female chess player? No, I can't. How about the top male Magnus Carlsen? That's easy. Come on. Stop looking down on women. We are not the same. Yes, there is a small handful of top female chess players, but they don't reach the same levels as men. There's a small handful of top female poker players that there's some that make it and some that don't, but it's overwhelmingly male in like all of these sports. I don't, I don't, I don't know what the point trying to be made is because I'm not saying women are bad for not being the best at these things. I'm just saying men tend to win. Therefore, there's a reason why we have a women's league and a men's league.

Robert Bradbury says the greatest thing about New Hampshire is the wild turkeys. We have wild turkeys all over our property. It's great. They walk around and the dudes, their wings like fold down and their butts puff up. But then they can also shrink back down. It's people are I feel like city people get confused and they see wild turkeys because they don't understand. They just look like regular birds because they're used to seeing the Thanksgiving pictures of the big turkey with its tail all spread out and puffed up and looking big.

Well, in New Hampshire, those are wandering around. They do here too, but when the males shrink back down, they puff up to look big and threatening and then they'll shrink down. And turkeys fly. Also, I'm pretty sick too. You see a flock of flying turkeys? Yes. Yes. Yeah, turkeys

fly, man. Yeah, last summer I remember seeing turkeys wandering around the streets in New Hampshire. MJ, there was a turkey they tried to get into a fight with his reflection in my car one time no way oh yeah wow that's kind of cool they're stupid as hell mj's got the good super chat right here says hey tim where can we play poker with you so uh for the past couple of weekends, we have been in MGM National Harbor. And before that, it's Maryland Live. We used to play all the time at Hollywood Charlestown until I stacked a guy in such a way that he got so angry.

What happened? So Hollywood Charlestown is it's the West Virginia casino. He tried bluffing me, guess he kept he kept raising his bluff on you know he raises pre-flop i guess he had nothing i don't know then he uh he raises on the flop and i'm calling him i had ace king off suit and so i just i see this flop and it's like i think it was just like low cards all different suits and i'm like this guy doesn't have anything he's just throwing money at the table trying to scare me off. So eventually he shoves his whole stack and it's $300 because it's a, it's a 100, $300 game. Those are the buy-ins. And then I'm just like, I'm sitting there thinking, and I'm

like, I got ace king. It's like the best non-paired hand. And I don't think he made anything. So I call. Then he's like, I don't have anything. He flips over nothing. And I say, I got an ace. And then they shove all his chips my way. He got so pissed off, he leaves. Well, he lost all his money. He comes back half an hour later and starts cussing me out like crazy. When I asked them to just move the guy and get him out of my face,

they told me no. They weren't going to do anything about it and too bad. And I was like, okay, I'm not going to play here anymore. That's insane. And I think the issue is their poker room has been

like kind of shrinking and falling apart. I could be wrong about that, but it's like a lot smaller and no one plays there anymore. So they're kind of desperate to retain players. So they were like, please don't fight. We're going to let him keep doing this. And I'm just, I'm out. So MGM National Harbor is a lot of fun. And I also noticed a lot of people there know who I am. So it's really cool. People were like, oh, hey man, you know, and they're like fist bump me or something. So that's a whole

lot of fun. And yeah, I appreciate the support. So you might see me there on the weekends. If you're ever in the D.C. area. It's a Maryland casino. Oh, you know, Maryland Live is cool, though. You know, it's all these Maryland casinos. All right. We'll grab one more here. Elias Muniz says, is it possible that the J.P.

Morgan First Republic buyout has something to do with the Jeffrey Epstein J.P. connection? Government may have told them they will sink their own ship to stop people from finding out. No, I think it's this central bank digital currency thing. I think it is. All right, everybody. We got a crazy members only uncensored show coming up.

It's the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. If you all are interested, I'm going to be praying a novena to St. Joseph for the working class in this country, in this very tumultuous economy, for the unborn, for whatever difficult times that lay ahead to help our country return to God, and for our enemies, people like Dylan Mulvaney and other trans ideologues, that they will see the light and be converted. I think Trump said it better when he said, Merry Christmas to everybody, even the haters and the losers. But let's pray for them. and let's also, of course, we were joking earlier, but pray for the people at Vice
