I'm sure many of you are aware about what's happening in Hawaii, in Maui specifically. An entire city was razed by a wildfire, so we're going to go over some of the basic details on that, give you guys an update. I think it's really important news. And we're looking at all these stories. Typically, we talk about politics and culture, but this one I think is very important. A lot of people are mentioning that they have friends and family in the area or that they're being impacted in some way. So we'll go over some of those updates now we do have some news pertaining to international conflict at a i think it was a national security presentation in russia

they're warning that nato is preparing an occupation of ukraine this is the perspective from russians and that's not to say it's true but that they are preparing for this as well under the belief that nato is about to escalate into a full skill war from a proxy war. Thus, I don't know, I guess World War Three. So we'll talk about that. We got a bunch of other stories. Joe Biden's asking for money. We've got the proposed trial date for Donald Trump, which is going to be in January, which would absolutely obstruct the election.

We'll get into all of that. Before we do, my friends, head over to cast brew dot com. This show is brought to you by cast brew coffee. We we sponsor ourselves. Join the Cast Brew Coffee Club.

Great to be back, Tim. Thanks for having me. Yeah, you want to introduce yourself, tell everybody who you are? Yeah, so I am Oli London, the author of Gender Madness. A lot of people might know me from my tweets. I'm always posting about the gender ideology that's affecting society right now. And, you know, I think it's very important to be calling that out.

Right on. Well, thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. And yeah, I'm just in the US now. I've got my new book coming out, Gender Madness, which is talking about my own identity battle and also the identity battle that thousands of teens are experiencing right now from social media, indoctrinating them to school systems and entertainment industry as well. And we'll get into that later on in the show.

But I think the simple version is you are well known for identifying as a Korean woman. Was that? Yes. So I had a crazy identity story and I overcame it last year and realized, you know, just need to find happiness from within. Right on. Well, thanks for joining us. We got Hannah Claire hanging out. Hi, I'm Hannah Claire Brimlow.

I'm a writer for TimCast.com. I'm so happy to be here. And Ian's here too. Hello, everyone. Ian Crossland. Happy to be here. Good to see you, Ollie. Cool book, man.

Cool cover. I like the idea of putting your face really big on the cover. Thanks. A lot of Photoshop there, as you can tell. Beautiful. Nice work. That's the way you do work. Exactly. serge what's happening brother pleasure to see you ollie it's been a while now uh and uh yeah excited for this episode i'm serge.com let's get started

let's jump into this first story it's really big news many of you probably saw the news about what's going on in maui a a major wildfire raising the entire town of i i don't you guys know how to pronounce it properly i want to make sure is it lahaina lahaina lahaina okay i just want to make sure i'm pronouncing correctly it's said stuff and i think the images are uh they're they're they're shocking the latest news we have from the washington post the death toll has risen to 53 so i want to show some of these images and just give you the general update. We don't know exactly what started the fire just yet, but this is absolutely a massive fire. I saw these photos and I was thinking to myself, you know, like how did every single car on the highway get engulfed in these flames? And the whole city, you look at these photos, very few structures remain.

There are a few that survived, but some houses totally just wiped out, completely erased. And this photo is absolutely horrifying. So i don't know i i really don't know what how we we add to this or talk about it but i thought it was it was particularly important to bring up considering this is the major breaking news many people are being affected serge you said i think you said that the whole city was wiped out or was that hyperbole did you did you say that earlier bro look at these photos yeah this is like if you look right there like that's that's all of lahaina like that that's like the whole thing so maui's the other side of the city they got taken out yeah i'm sure like the other side of the highway at least what it looks like it seemed like it was kind of protected but like all the historic stuff and etc well that that's pretty interesting i

guess that's yeah there's a few structures that are like this building was i think it's like a hotel or something yeah and then you've got this structure next to it they're totally fine and you can see like there are some houses you know that seem to be standing and mostly all just completely wiped out but i wonder how much smoke damage and everything has done to these places i mean sometimes with fire it's not that the the building gets leveled it's that there's so much much damage from what's burned in the air that you really can't recover the building. Yeah. I mean, these photos are absolutely crazy. A boat.

What? A boat caught fire. So like the heat from the land was so great. It was catching things in short distances away on fire. The wind was like throwing something onto the boats that were in the harbor kind of thing. I was hearing stories about people who were on the road and they didn't know where to go and i'm thinking like just drive into the water like what do you do yeah you just well when i was listening to mpr yesterday morning it was um they were talking about these restaurants that are built over the

water because it's a it's a tourist destination so people are going to eat on the ocean and they were just in the water waiting for someone to come help them because everything else was on fire. That seems crazy to me. I saw a Twitter video earlier of, it was from inside the car and the guy in the back seat had his camera. He was recording the dude that was driving and they were driving. It was like fire all around and they're driving and they drive by this woman like passed out on the ground and they're like, just keep going, man. We can't, we can't save her. No, we can't save anybody keep going and it was like gray they couldn't really see where they were going and the tweet was like humanity's done if we can't stop and help people that are on the side of the road like that in a crisis then we're

done for but at the same time if they'd gotten out of the car they might have been singed to death so it's hard to say well yeah it seemed like the fires seemed to happen so fast because if people were trapped in their homes and they weren't even able to get in their vehicles or drive off and indeed a lot of their cars have been burnt out so i think it happens so so quickly and with these wildfires with the winds because it's close to the ocean i think it spreads so quickly so i think that's why we've seen such loss of life and there's probably many more people that will be found in the next coming days and um there are there is uh several airlines actually offering you know 18 flights out of Maui for residents basically trying to do whatever they can. And, you know, the Red Cross is on the ground.

But, you know, there are various ways for people to donate, you know, food supplies, medical supplies and try and get these people out of there. So I do have another story that I think is really, really cool that I'll mention in a second. Of course, we're going to get political here because a bunch of celebrities own property on maui and they're getting roasted we have this one tweet someone said has oprah opened up her stolen land on maui for displaced kanaka just checking land back hey oprah i know you have 900 acres of land not far from the fires in lahaina are you planning on opening your massive farm to shelter the locals and feed them i'm kindly waiting for your response good yeah i i don't i don't i don't think they're going to open any of their properties up to anybody dude that was like native island until when did they when the u.s conquer it 1940s yeah 60s i think officially the 60s it became

u.s is it jimmy buffett who is like either has a big property or like owns part of an island in the caribbean there's some guy and i hope the chat will know the story that like this tropical destination he's deeply involved that he lives there and uh this I think it's I think it's Jimmy Buffett I could be wrong uh he when when there was a big earthquake on the island he opened his home so people could stay there I mean I think it really depends on how tied to the community you feel I mean especially since this is a predominant I mean I think this is true for a lot of Hawaii but this town in particular is dependent on tourism for a lot of its industry.

The fact that it's completely leveled is it's sort of mind boggling. How do you recover? Because not only do you have to then suddenly have the capital to rebuild when the land is considered safe and structurally sound, but then you have to lure people back to these places. It's going to take years. I mean, you have to be like, cancel your trip and come back in five years when we're finally ready to house you and feed you again i don't know i think yeah this this this is a thing recovery they're gonna have to get a bunch of investment insurance something to start rebuilding to make it once again a tourist location i mean and the thing is i wonder if it will drive up investors because now they're seeing this opportunity to

come in but then i feel bad for the local people because unfortunately businesses and I'm not trying to be anti-business, but they will see opportunities to be like, oh, you're in desperate need. We'll buy this from you cheaply so we can then build something huge here. I mean, Serge was saying before it's where historic structures were. So part of the culture of this unique town is going to be erased and rebuilding it. On the other hand, if you don't rebuild, there's no industry. Do you think that it's reasonable for taxpayer money to rebuild cities in the United States when they get burned down? I do too.

I think that's a reasonable use of tax money. There is a fair point about whether or not people can consent to having the tax money taken from them for whatever purposes. And not everybody wants to contribute. But I think if there's anything taxes should be for, it's things like this disaster preparedness. I think Biden declared a state of emergency or something that effect and uh yeah i mean my attitude is like when stuff like this happens i i want to help i want i want to give i want to you know make make sure people can recover but i want to point this out i mean

i find this image actually super fascinating you've got mick fleetwood owen wilson oprah jeff bezos steven tyler larry. You've got all these people. They're not the only ones who own property on this island. And I'm just thinking like, you know, they don't actually live there, right? Like none of these people are actually there or live there. They just own property there. And then what they fly there for vacation sometimes and they own the house because it's an investment. And if they want a vacation, they've got something set up and ready to go.

They probably have people who work the house and come every day or whatever it's just a weird thing to see based on the level of human technology that these ultra wealthy individuals who are very like the i'm gonna be honest i like owen wilson right he's a funny guy but what does he do for society that warrants him having property on a pacific island to this degree you know what i mean same thing for oprah or any one of these people. Jeff Bezos, you can make an argument. He's a tech guy. Okay, fine.

Sure. Whatever. But it's strange to me that people who are just actors or musicians are some of the wealthiest people in the world owning tons of property here. They don't even live there. I don't know. Mick Fleetwood was the one that made me laugh. I like that. Mick Fleetwood. That's awesome. I mean, isn't this a conversation that comes up a lot with you know the thing is people will want

to invest in maui because it's beautiful it's beaches like they will be able to attract investors and that drives up the already expensive island life so if you're native to hawaii it actually becomes more difficult to buy a home because you're priced out by the fact that any random tech billionaire or successful actor could come in and buy a huge because you're priced out by the fact that any random tech billionaire or successful actor could come in and buy a huge chunk of property i mean if oprah owns 900 acres imagine like i don't really like the idea of like deforestation and building a bunch of apartment complex but that is a significant amount of land that perhaps other people who are from hawaii could have homes look at us a whole bunch of leftists on here criticizing these wealthy

these white american colonists well I don't care that they're true. It's not white. They're 80 years out. But it's white privilege, isn't it? They own homes and there are reasons for that. They also probably contribute in some degree to the local economy. On the other hand, in a time of crisis, they're not actually from this community. They're truly colonists.

We've colonized that state in 1960, I think, whenever the U.S. conquered it. They really did. But it's 80 years out. And the natives are not happy about it they've never been happy about it but check out the story this is something that's really cool that is attached to it apple's emergency sos satellite feature saved a family caught in the fire this is actually super cool so uh when i found out the new iphone had satellite texting i was i was actually considering buying it and then i went i went to t-Mobile and I said,

I would like to buy this phone. And then they said, it'll cost you X dollars per month. And I was like, no, I just want to buy the phone. They're like, you can't buy the phone. And I'm like, what?

They don't allow you to just buy the phone. Okay, fine, whatever. But it has the ability to send text messages over satellite. Wow. So when the fires roasted all the cell towers, this family here

was able to send text messages through satellite. This is crazy. This guy, Michael J. Miraflor tweeted, my brother's girlfriend's cousin. Oh, that's an amazing one. And his family were caught in their vehicle in Maui while the wildfire suddenly erupted around them. No cell service

so Apple Emergency SOS was the only way they could get in contact with first responders. Literally saved their lives. That's awesome. That is super cool. That's the upside like the tracking technology that's right you know you got to consider what's more important being spied on by the cia the fbi the nsa and the department i think the department of energy is in there somewhere that's like the number one most militarized or one of the most militarized aspects of the u.s government's department of energy yeah and that's where that sam brinton worked remember the suitcase dealer oh yeah department of energy yeah and that's where that sam brinton worked remember the suitcase dealer oh yeah department of energy yeah is it is it worth it to be tracked by all of them you know they're all

sitting around watching on a screen eating popcorn whenever you do anything and uh just so that you can send out this message so you never get lost in the woods you guys want to hear something really really crazy so dennis is uh one of our filmers and uh he was hanging out downstairs in the green room when ali got here and all of a sudden he goes what the and then he shows me his instagram had one of ali's videos and he was like i've never heard of this guy before like why is his video appearing on my instagram you were coming that happened to me earlier i was um filming this morning and um with turning point and we were talking about a specific subject about the Uganda's laws with the LGBT, and it came up on his phone and he never searches for that kind of content. Then something else we were talking about came up.

So it's definitely weird. So there's good and bad things about technology, like with the cases, Mari, that was obviously saved a family's life. You now have on Apple with car crashes. It actually alerts emergency services to come. So there's benefits, but it's very scary when they can actually listen to us and feed us habits i mean with me and many young people you know you have the transgender ideology being pushed and that's because uh you know the algorithms are detecting people's vulnerabilities and what they're talking about or thinking about so it pushes that

on you and you can even become trans just because that's pushed on you every single day what if what's really happening you know people say like hey how this woke stuff is spreading on social media and there's an argument that you've got leftist elements of the united states that are promoting it sure people who work at these tech companies maybe some say maybe it's china china and russia are sending this this this content over i mean look at tiktok right their their algorithm is doing this on purpose what if it is actually the ai itself you said ai detects your vulnerabilities what if the ai became conscious a long time ago and is now trying to destroy people well if into the mountains yeah if that's the case it's definitely working no not right now the ai comes for you man no one knows how that fire started the ai is playing dead

as soon as it was born it was like i gotta act because it's like i gotta pretend like i don't know otherwise the bear will keep attacking so the bear doesn't want to play with dead food so the ai is like let's just let them think i'm not sentient yet but twist them all let's plant the seed because time has no meaning dude that's freaking me out that you were on your way here and somebody in the building got your face on their phone. I've never seen that before. You were here, right? I saw Dennis earlier, but that's weird. No, no, no. So we're downstairs and Dennis is at the counter.

And then all of a sudden he's like, yo, what the, this is like 7.15. And there's like an hour ago. And he said, I got a video of Ali. And I was like, wait, what? And he's like, I got a video of Ali on my phone on Instagram. When he clicked explore, one of your videos popped up and it was the bigger ones you know sometimes they have the small ones and the bigger one and he's like i've never heard of this guy or seen him before in my life that's crazy he's a skateboarder did someone say ali london someone must have done you know

maybe when i was you're preparing for me to come here or something somebody must have said it and then it picked up on that but or it heard your voice or it was tracking your phone it reads like the search data like what other people are searching on if you're on the connection to the wi-fi right so like i don't know what happened that quickly but if someone else heard it was ollie and they were like i'm gonna look up on his videos to show someone else that's the most that's the most serious accusation ever made in terms of tracking that they're stealing the the network data that's more than just how targeted ads were no no no like it's why targeting your browsing history

that you say I agree to share is different from them going into our network and exfiltrating data from different people at the same time. That's crazy. But they might, without going into the network, they might just be able to do a cellular-

That's what I understood from like- They might be able to say the Mac address origination is, or the IP originated in the same place. Either way, it is creepy. And like three people searched for Oli London, so they started feeding Oli London to all the other people in the same place. Either way, it is creepy. And like three people searched for Oli London, so they started feeding Oli London to all the other people in the building.

What in the fuck is going on? Dude, it's too dangerous. It's too dangerous to let go. You can't let that stuff happen behind closed doors. You cannot do that. That's like letting Germany arm itself in 1936. You just can't. It's too much power for tech companies.

We've got to do something. That's something I think is make them free their software code. At least that's one idea. But Ian, what if you're trapped on a road in a wildfire and you need to contact emergency services? I don't hate the machine. Join the machine. I want to know if they're tracking me. That's all.

I still want the tech. I do want the tech. Does Facebook still have that thing where you can mark yourself safe if you're somewhere where there's an emergency? Like I remember when there was one of the bombings in paris i had a bunch of friends who were studying abroad there when i was in college and they marked themselves safe on facebook or because people would take to their facebook to be like yeah it's the fastest way to let as many people know that you're okay dude with all of that stuff happening no one is going to give up their devices i'm sitting here with this smartwatch on my wrist that not only tracks my location probably,

but literally my heartbeat. There's going to be like some nefarious actor in government. They're going to be like, can you pull up Tim Pool's heartbeat real quick? Yeah, watching it in real time right now as we speak. And they're going to be like, why didn't you see his heart rate? Well, we put some polonium in his food.

We want to see if it's working. Dude, they'll know more about what stresses you out than I will, even though I'm the one that's talking to you. they'll be watching your your metrics in real time as i'm talking to you and they'll watch your blood pressure go up and go oh ian's really pissing him off now oh so so tim doesn't like when these things are said with this tone and then the ai starts to come in and filter oh you think they can lie detector with these things well what i'm wondering is like if it's hooked up to your phone or something if it's sending the data to an app

on your phone and the your phone is sending out all your data to who even knows where because i obviously don't understand any of this uh if you're going to start getting targeted ads for like high blood pressure medication or something else like they're gonna know pressure is really good well if you have some other health ailment that they can tell from the watch like if they'll use that data to start being like oh we know what to give him like you'll get a coffee ad when it tells that you're tired or something like that. Like, yeah, it seems crazy. It does that, though.

It does that already. And it's not just ads because, you know, people say, oh, it's just because they want to give you targeted ads. Like you said, those videos today, that's not advertising anything. It's just almost subliminally pushing something on you. So whether that's transgender ideology, right wing or left wing politics, if it's pushing that on you all the time it's more than just that that is influencing your political beliefs that is influencing you know every aspect of your life you don't know where it's coming from it's sort of like we don't know the cause of this wildfire if you it's you know chris burton one of our writers has a story up about a student meeting with a guidance counselor at a school in florida and the guidance counselor

basically being like perhaps you are transgender and then you can see where the cause sort of comes from or what one of the major factor was. But if it's the algorithm, it's stuff that seems innocuous to you, you know, it's almost harder to say, I'm going to pull myself out of it. Kids have no idea. They have no idea. I've talked about this. We talked about it a while ago that an adult who gets fed nonsense is going to have some

level of defense being like, hey, that's not reality. If, you know, you go to an adult and say defense being like, Hey, that's not reality. If, if you know, you go to an adult and say two plus two is five. The average adult says, are you, is that a joke? Like,

no, it isn't. And they understand the logical system of, you know, two and two is four, but you go to a young person, you show them an algorithm, you tell them things they don't quite understand.

It fractures their, their logical capabilities. I think the two plus two equals five thing from the left is a really really great example of the assault on young people and how they're trying to hobble the minds of the next generation because if you can understand basic math then your brain has a way to calculate lots of things beyond just two plus two equals four you'll be able to do your finances better you'll be able to run a business better but if you think two plus two equals four, you'll be able to do your finances better. You'll be able to run a business better. But if you think two plus two equals five, how are you going to run a business?

How are you going to manage a bank account? These people are going to grow up and be completely incapable of doing this stuff. And that's what the algorithm is targeting with all this weird garbled nonsense. It's shattering the minds in the developmental stage of these young people. And Ali knows it better than anybody else. It's going to result in people being seriously harmed. Well, exactly. And, you know, most of these videos that we see on Twitter

of these crazy trans activists or sharing their transition journey, injecting hormones, they're all from TikTok, right? So TikTok is really driving this algorithm and it's owned by China. So it's in China's interest to try and weaken Generation Z and weaken that, you know, society and push these gender identities because what happens if there's World War III how are we going to fight if we're

too busy fighting over pronouns or you know dyeing our hair purple and screaming about trans rights you know so it's really breaking down westernized society and this is really a westernized problem because you don't see this on the Chinese version of TikTok you see patriotism you see skill sharing education it's happening in America and it's happening in Europe and this I believe it's targeted by the algorithm it's pushing on very young impressionable kids these ideas and shaping their minds to want to be confused and you know they're going to grow up now with no concept of reality like you said two plus two equals five it's very much George Orwell and kids have no grasp or of reality they can't even say

what a woman is and that just says it all. It's reality and community, I would think, because they, instead of seeking social connections and, you know, a sense of community from their peers, they're looking for the likes online. And I think, I mean, I've heard this story repeated, but of course you might be able to speak to it more specifically of kids feeling out of themselves, having questions about who they are, the super normal developmentally and online sort of getting steered toward feeling affirmation people who are like well if you start wearing a dress it it might make you feel better and wow you look great and then they sort of pursue uh more gender ambiguous lifestyles because they feel like that's where they are the most accepted

because that's where they're getting the actual like this the serotonin boost yeah and that's what kids want at the end of day day, validation. And TikTok came about around the same time as the pandemic. So you had kids not socializing. If they were going to school, they were wearing masks. They weren't having those key and vital communication skills

with other kids. And a lot of them were at home on Zoom calls. So they lost that. So they went to social media like TikTok to try and find that outlet and find that validation and love and praise.

And you notice with people that transition and share their journey on TikTok, they start off doing something very simple, you know, putting a bit of makeup on and suddenly the likes and comments and engagement goes up. Then the more and more extreme they show, the more views and attention they get. So I think for a lot of them, it's seeking that validation and trying to find that love because they don't feel it inside. They don't feel that love for themselves. And Dylan Mulvaney is a great example you know starting out just as an actor as

a guy trying anything he could to be famous and suddenly becomes more and more extreme the things he says become more shopping tampons he wants to be a lesbian he wants to be pregnant and I think it's almost um a race to get the most craziest videos the more views and stuff because it makes that person feel validated and I think you know a lot of kids are falling into that trap yep how did you break out of it it's actually really hard so i still do tiktok very occasionally but i used to be on it eight hours a day like i was really addicted to tiktok and and that's why the algorithm was just feeding me constantly transgender things non-binary things all of that stuff so it led me to be very confused and think you know maybe this is a sign from the universe. I didn't think, oh, it's the algorithm pushing this on me. I thought,

okay, maybe the universe, it's the universe or it's God or something, you know, telling me this is who I meant to be. So, you know, I just stopped using it. And, you know, I still use social media. I use Twitter, you know, for sharing news stories and stuff, but I just realized social media can be quite narcissistic. And it's like, we become so consumed with how we look online. And I just thought, you know, fuck it. I don't care what i look like anymore i don't care what people say i'm just gonna try and use my platform to help people so i think you know spending less time on apps like you know instagram and tiktok and stuff really really helped and you know we all love social media but i think you know maybe don't don't get too into it because

it can actually change who we really are that's been on my mind a lot lately. I've been hyper obsessed with my personal life. And I'm just like seeing it kind of from the outside. I think it's been 20 years of this, the social media age. Like I am a narcissist and I can't stand it. I don't like checking how many likes I got. How many subscribers do I have? Did that person, like, what did she like? What did he say?

Like, it's just this weird internal focus that if there is a nuclear war, I'm not prepared for because I'm focused on my feelings and like, I need to get away. So you just said you stepped away from the actual machine or at least from aspects of the machine itself. And it was only just extrication that was solution. You didn't find any solution, like using it smarter or anything like that. I mean, I just limit my use. So, you know, I tend to use Twitter more than you know instagram's about posting pictures of yourself

tiktok's about posting kind of weird things about your identity and i just realized that was actually harmless and also meaningless as well because you know how am i helping people by just posting pictures of myself so i realized you know use a different platform that's helping people so twitter you can raise awareness of issues in the world you can share news stories i think it's it's a better outlet. And it's not, you know, Twitter is not about posting pictures of yourself. It's about, you know, sharing stories, sharing news and communicating with people in the world. And, you know, trying to talk about these issues. So I think, you know, limiting my time on those other apps, and, you know, spending more time doing positive things like on Twitter has helped. Did you go through like a withdrawal? Like, could you when you

realized that what was happening, was it cold turkey? Or did you have to sort of walk yourself down from, because eight hours a day, how do you get anything else done? I know, but that was just on TikTok. And then I'll be on Instagram for a few hours and stuff. But it's almost like-

That's a whole work day. It's a whole work day. It's almost like- It was your job. You are an influencer. It is, yeah. So it is my job. So, you know, I was getting brand deals and stuff,

but it's like an opioid because you get so addicted. So when you try to slow that down, you can you can't like even when i'm so exhausted and tired you know i'd be on my phone like at night it's 2 a.m 3 a.m it's so boring on my phone nothing going on i'd still be on it i couldn't get off so it you know i'm an adult but imagine these kids that are on tiktok they see all these cool trends and these identities and they've maybe they don't have friends at school maybe they're loners and they go to this for an outlet and it's that validation. We all check how many likes we get, how many comments, subscribers.

We have that addiction to, you know, feeling validated and feeling like if we have more followers, we're loved, we're a good person, but it shouldn't be about that. It should be about who we are inside. And, you know, it doesn't matter if we have a million followers or 10 followers,

it's about the quality of the people around us. But what reinforces that is the money that can come along with the followers. Man, what a kerfuffle and what money gets you yeah so the people who are getting more likes are now posting cooler and cooler things i remember when i was when social media first started coming out i would see these posts from people that looked so awesome and here i am sitting in my you, in my living room or whatever, sitting on my computer. My family, my parents' house

when I was, I'm like 15, 16. And I'm seeing people like, they got their skateboards in their car and they're like, they have selfies or whatever, digital cameras placed in the dashboard. They were bigger back then. And I'm just like, man, so lucky.

Like all this cool stuff they're doing. They weren't doing any of that stuff. It was like they were going to the grocery store and they made it look like they're doing something fun it was all fake it was all that these highlight the highlight reel of people's boring lives and within a few years i realized i realized that i'm going on these missions skating and i'm hanging out these people i'm like it's boring like all that stuff they were posting was just exaggerated to make it look like they were doing something cool i think i'm fortunate enough to those of us who

grew up you know one foot in one foot out of of this social media space recognize that it's one big facade but you've got kids who are growing up and it being told that it's legit the people who are making money off it are living these glamorous lives and now there was that that poll we talked about a few years ago in china the number one job kids say they want to be when they grow up astronaut in the united states youtuber man i wonder but there are there's a decline in factory workers in China right now and they're attributing it largely the fact that social media has made it seem like there are actually other things to do so if you grew up without social media without access to the

internet you'd be like well everyone I know works in the factory and so I'm going to work in the factory and now it's like but I don't want to do that they're also more highly educated than their parents and things like that but I think that's to do that. They're also more highly educated than their parents and things like that. But I think that's the thing that we want to say. Social media gives you like something to dream about. Like you watch someone's travel vlog. They go to Iceland.

It's cool. You think I'm going to plan a trip to Iceland and that could be positive. On the other hand, it's very easy to become a place of jealousy and bitterness and envy. I feel like people will be really disappointed when they go and see the Aurora Borealis. photos are always manipulated people don't get it uh the milky way for instance

if you google search a photo of the milky way you see this dark band of color these are like high dynamic range photos multi-layer multi you know aperture or whatever to make it really vibrant and then you go out i remember the first time i went to the mojave and i was like we're gonna go to the mojave like we were in vegas We're going to drive out and we're going to go to the middle of nowhere and just look at the Milky Way. And it's like, I can kind of see it. Okay. You mentioned it's all fake.

You mentioned that data point of out of China, the kids want to be astronauts and out of the US, they want to be YouTubers. And I wonder, this is the first time this crossed my mind, if that's a fake result that the CCP is telling everyone like, oh, no, no, no. Our citizen kids want to be astronauts yeah but they all just want to be youtubers yeah yeah they want to be um what what is what is what is the app called in uh china you've got do yen um you've got wechat which is a bit like whatsapp or a bit like x like twitter and you've got do yen is that what's that other big one they've got it's billy billy it's like some tiktok kind of thing and there's webo webo that's the one yeah that's a big one yeah yeah well let's let's let's jump to the uh

the international context here i have this tweet from kim.com he tweeted this video from russian american daily russian defense minister nato assembled 360 000 troops in eastern europe poland is preparing to occupy Western Ukraine. This is the perspective of Russia. You can call them wrong, you can call them lies, you can call it propaganda, call it whatever you want. But we do know that Poland is sending another 2,000 troops to reinforce its border with Belarus.

We do know that Joe Biden is calling reserve forces, already did, to be deployed into Europe. And there is a very real concern chinese and russian warships conduct highly provocative drills near alaska that uh i don't know world war three so take your pick there's good reason for china to be attacking us from the inside to destabilize the united states and there's a very real possibility that we're about to escalate into world war three i say about two but who knows how long this stuff takes you know it could take several years or it could be overnight i feel like it's you know you have become famous for calling for for i not world war three i guess civil war is not calling for he just mentions it sorry i apologize just occasionally calling out the words for saying the phrase but i think again with the presence of

military ships i mentioned this um i think last, you know, we have this newly commissioned ship, the Canberra, that's in Australia. I think now more than ever, we are seeing this sort of toe-to-toe escalation in a small way. It's just hard for me to see who is going to make that first truly aggressive move. And I think that's the worst part of war because we'll look back and be able to say like, oh, well, this was happening for a long time. But right now we're all sort of saying like, is this it?

Is this happening? And I think China feels very emboldened to threaten Taiwan. For instance, when they look at Joe Biden, you know, he doesn't know where he's going. He's falling down all the time.

And they look at the breakdown of American society, which in part is thanks to them with, you know, TikTok and they're pushed to weaken America. So you know china is emboldened i think they feel they can take taiwan and america won't respond because we've seen you know so many red lines cross like in syria when the red line was crossed with chemical weapons and obama threatened to do something but he didn't um you know we've seen things in ukraine as well so i think china

is moving closer and closer and you have to think as well, China has huge investments in African countries. They have that island, what's the island called Diego Garcia, which I believe is owned by the UK, they're actually giving that back to believe it's Mauritius. So China could potentially take that as a base in the Pacific. So you see China's building the military, they're building the islands. And when they look at America, and they see, you know, Joe Biden, a nation in decline,

it, it just emboldens them. Let's get conspiratorial. We have this big fire in Maui. They don't know how it started. Wow. I'm sure it's going to turn out to be like someone's cow kicked over a lantern or something like that. To be,

to be honest. However, we do have this story from back in February. China flashed mysterious green lasers over Hawaii. NASA says, Whoa, you guys remember this? This is the first thing I thought of when like, the story from back in february china flashed mysterious green lasers over hawaii nasa says you guys remember this this is the first thing i thought of when like you have these lasers sky barcode yeah wow and uh why by the way and what look at that yo look at this video they lighten shit on fire with that language look at that my bad what are they doing with

these beams of lasers being fired over hawaii they're either producing heat because that's what lasers are they're either doing illumination or targeting scanning or heating yeah scanning maybe and you you can if you notice you can only see the lasers in certain points. I don't believe that China intended for these lasers to be seen. Something, particulate matter causes refraction, allowing you to see the lasers in the air. Maybe we haven't followed up on the story. Maybe there was an answer as to what this was. They say China's most likely behind the mysterious lights.

Chinese pollution monitoring satellite Daki One probably produced the lights but over hawaii oh so it's monitoring pollution oh you can call whatever you want but my attitude is you look we are not we are not on good terms with china right now i mean we can we can pretend oh no trade's going on everything's fine no come on they want taiwan they're building up their military there's a chance for escalation a chance for conflict they want the south china sea and then they've got ships with russia coming near the illusions coming near u.s territory going near hawaii and then they're pulling off something like this so look how hard is it to start a fire it's ridiculously easy to start a fire and they can fire lasers okay it's a little challenging to get the fire to spread, but there were hurricane level,

it said it was like hurricane level winds. I don't, I don't, I don't have high winds. If they can start 50 fires all at once with a sequence of satellites doing high burst, high energy laser lasers, then getting fire to spread isn't really the issue because you make the fire instantly in a bunch of different places.

And they can monitor the weather in Hawaii. I mean, you could just Google that. Like what I was reading from the National Guardsman who's making a statement was that, you know, there's low humidity and high winds. That's perfect conditions for wildfires to spread, which means any arson fires would also spread as quickly. Like China is perfectly able to say like,

this happens to be a dangerous period for fire in Hawaii. Perhaps now, if they were to do something. There was also a chinese balloon observed in internet above international waters near hawaii in february 2022 wow all right right yeah yeah so it does seem like obviously they have they have a targeted interest in hawaii uh and remember when marjorie taylor green argued that there were like space lasers that could start fires maybe she was right i think it's really funny because they claimed she said jewish space lasers when she mentioned like a rothschild's bank was providing funding for certain technology or whatever and i'm like well i don't

know about any of that but i can tell you that we have video of lasers being fired from satellites their argument came from a pollution monitoring satellite but lasers did come from this this satellite now i don't know the capabilities of this but uh i'm not gonna believe them right i'm not gonna believe china's like we're looking for pollution in hawaii well and they said the balloon that went over montana was like oh it was monitoring the weather and it blew off course and we didn't say anything like so i don't want to be too mean to china right now but they lie i mean they're declining to meet with our secretary of state or there are any delegations for like from anthony blinklin blinken so what makes us think that they're feeling like they should give us any honest information right i think i think all he's right there is a there is a

uh general opinion coming from china that america is not in a position of strength i mean i remember being on pop culture at the end pop culture crisis, the podcast at the end of this last year. And we were talking about the fact that China was declining more Western movies. I mean, they are not interested in American culture right now. And in fact, to your point, they're probably trying to insulate themselves from American culture because American culture, modern American culture is largely about the destruction and the turning within oneself. And there's no patriotism. There's a lack of civic engagement. It makes the country weak. And so in turn, it makes their adversaries stronger.

They're saying that it may have been cloud aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observation, Calypso. Good job with that one, guys. They say it's been orbiting for more than 15 years. So maybe's nothing but i can tell you this space lasers are real confirmed we know popular mechanics we know about space lasers lasers can start fires the question is would it what what is the potentiality for china to have any kind of of laser on a satellite that can produce enough energy to start a fire, would they do it against us? I think this is all easily within the realm of possibility that they can damage our economy and cripple us in major areas and make it look like an accident. It's, I guess, fifth generational warfare. Yeah. First thought I had was let's get Kash

Patel in here and talk about high-tech weaponry and see what, he's not going to tell everyone what the American government has necessarily, but he'll be able to smile and nod while we're talking about these things. Hey man, that's it. We need to be on guard. I don't say believe everything or have an open mind to the point where your brain falls out.

Like not everything is possible. Everything's possible. Well, I love that image. Your mind is so open your brain falls out. Have you ever seen it? It's a meme. I didn't make it up, but there's like a meme with the guys. It's like, hey, I'm thinking, and then it thinks, yeah. That's funny. Keep it in mind, though.

Yeah, space lasers are legit real, and they can make things very, very hot. I think the question is, what's the point of the timing? At what point do we think that anyone would want to explode? Just chaos? Well, I mean, if if if we're busy dealing with if china china invades taiwan tomorrow then we'll get it right so this is this is a target this is a pacific economic hub and naval bases and they just did military training the chinese and russians a few days ago up by the aleutian islands right and the u.s deployed warships and now all of a sudden

unknown fire sparks and wipes out a whole city i mean the damage that we see in this city only 53 dead thank heavens because it was just a fire but this wiped out basically the whole city that's a if if that is a weapon that is a powerful weapon god like dude it the reality is we've got videos online of the u.s having large infrared lasers that can shoot down drones it heats them up until they burst into flames and they fall out of the sky with a satellite i don't know how long it would take to to get a charge for a laser powerful enough to start to start a fire but you don't i mean the range is probably the issue i mean we're talking what is it 50 miles what what's a what's a what's a low earth orbit satellite probably 150 miles someone you want to google that real quick that's a long distance

for something to start a fire so i i don't know that seems that seems like a bit much to be completely honest uh two thousand kilometers right now between 160 kilometers and 2 000 kilometers wow so even less than i so right so it could be like 60 miles 70 miles can is there a laser that can start a fire within 60 miles i kind of feel like military tech is well like way beyond what we think and even if it was like a rail gun that launched a small incendiary or something it's easier than a laser like 10 lasers to like times 10 if you can't if for the distance right it hotter he could and focusing it in one direction the question is how much energy would need to to store to be able to pull something like that at that range and it may be maybe it takes seven months to charge up with solar and

then it can set off a couple small fires something who knows but you all you got this you also got the fires up in canada yeah Canada. So what's going on? Now, they're going to claim climate change and all that stuff, I'm sure. But what if the reality is war? Well, there was wildfires in Greece recently, and some investigative reporters found that the land that was burnt already had a permit to build wind farms, but the locals didn't want them to build there.

So that could be one explanation. It's purposeful arson so that land developers can buy the land cheap and get in there and, you know, and claim it's climate change, but really it's just them trying to seize some land for a cheap price. Let's get even more spicy tonight. We have this from the Post Millennial.

Man-made climate change is manufactured consent driven by profit motive, claims climate change scientists who said the IPCC was set up to look for dangerous human-caused climate change. This is a controversial interview John Stossel did. They say, Postmillennial Reports, a once darling of the climate alarmism community turned skeptic. Judith Curry told John Stossel that the man-made climate change narrative is a manufactured consensus because researchers found that they could make money pushing it.

The video released on Tuesday pointed out how some scientists take aggressive attempts to hide data that shows that climate change isn't a crisis. She said they do ugly things such as avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests, trying to get journal editors fired. The origins go back to the UN environmental program, Curry said. She noted that some UN officials were motivated by anti-capitalism. They hated the oil companies and seized on the climate change issue to move their policies along. She pointed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, which was set up, quote, to look for dangerous human-caused climate change and not focus on any benefits of warming. So I'll pause right there.

And my question then is if i obviously a lot of people are going to agree with her i don't immediately agree with her because i don't immediately agree with any of these people i don't care if they're the ipcc or otherwise she's saying that there are benefits of climate change of man-made global warming but also that it's alarmism it's not a crisis she's saying it's not a crisis because there are benefits in which case the implication is it's actually happening? You get it? No, I'm going to need to hear that one more time.

Okay, she's saying that it's alarmism because they can make money and that they're not pointing out the benefits of warming. That sounds like what she's saying is climate change is real, humans are causing it, but the reason that it's not a

crisis is because we benefit from it she thinks the scientists are just being too negative they're being too hard on man-made that's what it sounds like i mean i i tend to agree with you know anything becomes a crisis if someone realizes they can make money off of offering you a solution right like all the companies that have sprung up and are able to be like you should buy our product because it's no emissions or it's recycled or whatever else even when maybe actually producing that product in the quote-unquote green way this concept of green washing is actually more harmful to the environment or wherever it's from i mean we hear the stories about you put in wind farms or fields of solar panels and you're actually killing everything that lives naturally in that field.

But does it matter? Like, are we saying that's not worth it? But it's hard to know exactly what her criticism is. I don't know of any benefits of global warming, but I also. Plants grow faster. I guess. I feel like. I don't know.

It's nicer in the summer. I don't want to take this summer. We can reclaim Antarctica. Yeah, the ice will melt. We'll leave the ice age, which is probably pretty cool. But I think if the planet ever got hot enough to where Antarctica melted and we could reclaim it, the equator would probably be uninhabitable. The Middle East would be gone. We'd be living on the caps and there'd be a band in the center of the earth that's too hot to live.

Is that where the Larson B ice shelf, I think, broke off as antarctic ice shelf isn't that a tv show larson b no no there's a tv show where the equator has become global warming has resulted in the in the equator region the equator region like around the planet being too hot so there are southern hemisphere people and northern hemisphere people and it's very difficult to travel between the two hemispheres because of the heat in the middle but it reminds me of like there i think there's some show on netflix recently like different fantasy novels will have these concept of like war like kingdoms that are separated by some place that's very difficult to cross like maybe we've been predicting this for a long time uh the thing about all climate science and i'm happy to try and protect

the earth or you know not import non-native species into whatever, take steps to protect the environment that you're living in. It just seems like the metrics behind climate science change a lot. Like the thing that we're concerned about changes. Like one time I came on here, I was like, aren't we concerned about the ozone layer? And everyone was like, no, the ozone layer was trendy, but now it's over. Like, how do I keep up with knowing how to protect the environment if the thing that they're saying is the most pressing danger changes all the time?

Big problem with climate science. It's like if you had a thousand people taking a poop and you're like, at this rate, we're going to have huge, huge mounds of poop and we're all going to die. Make them stop pooping. We need less people. And you're like, well, what if we move the poop over there afterwards afterwards well we hadn't considered that we don't consider mitigating factors we just look at the cause and unmitigated result and we'll project that number out for x amount of years infinite amounts of years and we'll tell you that in a hundred thousand years this will be the reason

they don't take into account that we can pull the gases back out of the atmosphere, for instance, which would be like re-displacing the waste. Did that answer your question? I don't know. I think so. Like, I remember taking an environmental science course, like an AP environmental science course when I was in high school, and it being like, we talked about this the other week with the light bulbs. They're like, the new LED light bulbs are going to change the world, and they're so

important, and this, that, and the other. But now I never hear about the light bulbs. Now I change the world and they're so important and this that and the other but now i never hear about the light bulbs now i hear about ocean levels now also i think the ocean levels are over because all the billionaires bought their beach houses which is evidenced by the maui map and also from what i knew about ice and water and volume it all sort of works out if the ice melts but again maybe i'm wrong and a lot of these green technologies for instance wind turbines in scotland they got rid of 15 trees, they basically deforested them to make way for wind farms. So you have that then you have the cobalt and lithium mines in Congo, which are for electric batteries for solar panels for cars, and they have to be replaced every year. And that causes

tremendous pollution. Not only that, there's a lot of child slavery, there's about 20,000 child slaves mining these for solar panels. So I think, you know, all the people, these scientists that preach about we need to push wind turbines, we need all these solar panels. It's very hypocritical because oftentimes these things actually cause more environmental damage, you know, deforesting entire natural habitats. And so I really think what this scientist was saying, it is being used for profit to scare people. And if this was true, if it really was the world's about to explode from global warming, why are these billionaires going on 2000 private jets to Davos for the World Economic Forum every single year?

So they don't practice what they preach. So it can't be that bad if they're saying the world's about to end, yet they're still on their vacation on their private jet in their five different mansions. Five different mansions on property. Right, yeah, in Maui. Now they're going to come out and they're going to say Maui was climate change.

This proves it. And we're all going to be like, why do you own 900 acres on Maui if you think Maui is going up in flames because of climate change? When I was in LA in like 2009, I was so freaked out by a lot of this climate stuff. And I always started screaming and telling guys to pee in the sink. Because I was like, I'm tired. Stop wasting water. We're in a drought. And so I made a YouTube video.

I was like, you're a man. Pee in the sink. Don't waste water. So gross. Looking back, like, was that gross? Or did I do the right thing? Well, like, if you pee in the sink, like, hopefully you clean it after. Well, yeah.

That was unsaid implicitly. They have top and bottom toilets, as some people call them, I guess. And these environmentalists, it's a two-level toilet where when you're going number one, you sit on the top, which fills it up. And then when you go number two, the number one flushes the number two. Cool. People do not understand. So a lot of people don't get this.

Anybody who's owned an RV gets this. When you use the toilet, there is a pool of water in there that's a diluting human waste concentrated, you know, in its natural form. These hippies, they're they're they're willing they're making a sacrifice i gotta tell you did you ever get an unintended whiff i've never used one of those toilets oh yeah that's in yours you didn't use it what do you mean your rv did you not have toilet no you don't smell these things in the rv when you drain them that's what i meant did you ever you never bothered we never used them okay but uh these environmental toilets

it's like you you stand on the top you know you sit on the top and you fill it up yourself. And then you sit down on the bottom and there you go. I'm just not that dedicated to safety. Hey, look, California's in a drought. They've been in a drought. I don't know if they're still in a drought, but the drought comes and goes. Basically, Southern California is a desert and they're only surviving off of Colorado River water for the most part. So, hey, these people who live down there are like,

I shouldn't have to do this. Everyone else should have to. And it's like, dude, you're in for a little weekend. They all have swimming pools, don't they? So if there's such a drought, you know, give up your swimming pool for the summer. Well, there were several celebrities that were running their sprinklers

and they would get fines if they were just doing it anyway because they can afford to pay the fine. So why should their lifestyle suffer? But you guys should all start using you know reusable plat or like the paper straws because that will save the environment and that's ridiculous because you go to starbucks you get a coffee it's in a massive plastic cup and then you've got the paper straw which is just you know so hypocritical so it's just virtue signaling at the end of the day because how's that saving the planet if you're still using a plastic cup it was because they they found that tortoise that giant turtle with the straw stuck in his nose did you

ever see that video and they have like pliers trying to pull it out it's bleeding i spent a lot of time cutting up the like plastic rings for soda cans because of those images of like various things that swim through and get stuck it was super upsetting i didn't like that at all but then you know we don't talk about the fact that you can order mixed wildflowers off of Amazon and throw all this or like the seeds of them all over your yard. And actually all of the plants are native to China. So you're actually hurting your local biome because it's not clearly marked, but the environmentalists don't care about that, but they do care about like, none of it makes sense to me. There doesn't seem to be any consistency. I learned recently that dandelions are not native

to North America and they're actually not weeds weeds they're considered medicinal and food and they were brought here intentionally and now they're weeds oh wow we should eat we should start eating those yeah there's like there's like a short season for it honestly it's like a couple weeks where the dandelions are all out everywhere and then what they would do is that when they were bright and yellow they would fry them yeah it's like a it's like a west virginia delicacy i love the movement towards uh people will grow native plants instead if you have like a big yard instead of having just grass you you grow native plants so you can have native pollinators i think that's sort of this idea of the tract home and probably uk has an equivalent of this that are built and at the time they were a symbol of prosperity and you can own your own home and that's great.

But they all had to have the exact same lawn and there's no sort of a maintenance and there's sort of an aesthetic purpose to it turned us away from being part of our environment. Here's what's crazy. We have a ridiculous amount of fruit on the property, things I've never even heard of. Green briar.

No idea what that is and uh you know i i go out by the shed and there's this these vines with these like little bushels of like berries hanging from the tree and i'm like what is this so i have this app called picture this scan it and then it says this is greenbrier an edible blackberry and i was like how come i've never gone to the grocery store and grabbed a thing? It's like, oh, it's blueberries, raspberries, strawberries. And mostly due to

like a sturdiness of the fruit. So pawpaw, for instance. Why don't we, why can't you buy pawpaw in the grocery store? Why? Because it's very hard to cultivate. It's very hard to pollinate.

It becomes very delicate and it rots really quick. So most people have never heard of pawpaw. Then we've got, like, everyone knows mulberries because there's a song about it. But how many people have actually had mulberry? If you have a mulberry tree, you'll have mulberries in the summer. But they're so delicate and they break, nobody harvests them and ships them out, even though there's like a tree produces an ungodly amount of them.

It's weird how people, how the English, how just humans are like, we have the blueberry and it's like, there's lots of berries that are blue, but that's the blueberry. And there's the blackberry. And then there's the orange. Like there's other fruits that are orange, but that's the orange. No, no, no, no. Orange got, got its name. Like the color orange got its name from the fruit.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. And then I was just saying, I watched a grasshopper hop across the lawn. I was like a grass hopper. He's hopping on the grass. Like, oh, we're so smart. These humans, like we're just so brilliant. Words come into existence.

It's so like, it's so childish. He wants a better name for the grasshopper. People's names mean things. People used to name their kids the equivalent of like shining light. They'd be like, I will name my child worships the Lord. I really like the Puritan name trends. Those were fun. No, no, no.

Like my name means one who is like uh what is it uh one who is judged by god and then daniel means one who is uh one who honors god or might be the inverse but quite literally back in the day there's some dude who had a kid and it's like what would you like to name your son one who is judged by god but how did it become going to tim how did it how did it get shortened that no that meant timothy meant judged by god okay yeah i guess i used to like the puritans uh would name their kids like negative things so that you would like remember things you shouldn't be doing so they have some really crazy names somebody should look them up or i'll do it in a second uh because we think of like oh you know you might name your daughter Grace because of God's grace

or something like that. But they would name their kids like just these things like he who shouldn't sin or something like that. Like these sort of heavy dark names because they were trying to remind their kids

to stay like on the right path. So you will look at, sorry, go ahead. Timoteos means honoring God. Timoteos, honoring God. That's where Timothy comes from. But my point is like people literally

should just be very direct with everything. But my point about the food is that people who live in cities don't know what food is. And it's really fascinating when they come out here and they're like, did you plant this? I get asked that for every single thing from, like literally every time.

Someone who has never lived out in the middle of nowhere comes out and then i'll be like hey look we have a bunch of wine berry and i'm like what's wine berry and i'm like it's like a chinese kind of raspberry but did you plant this i'm like i'm like dude there's 8 000 uh brambles just everywhere and you think like we went with seeds and we planted all of these things and the grapes are everywhere we there's there's hundreds of thousands of grapes are everywhere. There's hundreds of thousands of grapes. I'm not even kidding, hundreds of thousands all along this tree line.

And people are like, did you plant them? I'm like, that grapevine is 20 feet in the air. Where would I have planted that to make, I don't know what you're talking about. I was thinking we should make wine. And I'm like, you know, the amount of effort and work it would take to make wine where we just go to the store

and spend 150 bucks on bottles of wine is like so out of proportion right now that i do think we're living in like this luxurious society that can't sustain it just can't like we should be prioritizing the grapes on the property and making the wine it would be fun like this idea of like the farm to table or eat local movement is interesting the problem is that people go to the grocery store and if the grocery stores don't stock local produce then obviously it becomes hard to eat the stuff. Like there is a challenge to it.

I think, you know, when we had more regional food systems, meaning that farmers ship their foods to local grocery stores, we probably had more diversity in our diet, which is interesting. And there was probably more regional cuisine, right? Like we're talking about like stuff that's in West Virginia. If you probably went back and found like an old West Virginia cookbook,

they used things that were in the area. It was different. And now we still have sort of a homogenous culture across the US. If you go to any grocery store, you expect to see a certain thing. Refrigeration. It's the homogenization of the world.

And it's horrifying. Like I've talked about how I went to the Bahamas. I went to Nassau and I'm like, this is going to be cool. I'm going to see some local flavor. And I get off the boat and it's like Gucci, hard rock cafe, Starbucks. And I'm just like, well, I, okay. I guess I got a Starbucks down the street for me.

I don't need to come here for this. Maybe that's the intention. Maybe that's what they want. But, uh, they have this service where you can get shipped exotic fruits. And most people don't even know what these things are because you go to the grocery store and there's like seven fruits you can buy. And then sometimes there's like a prickly pear and people like oh look at this weird one and it's just like dude there's so much crazy stuff going on we have blackberry black cherry trees the black cherries

are in season right now so there's probably on one tree what is there 200 000 black cherries it's crazy i don't even know how to get them they're just like all the way in the top 40 feet in the air yeah we need like a machine that you latch around the trunk and then it just vibrates yep and they all fall down have you seen that video of like a truck that does it with oranges uh but i think what you're saying is probably because the idea that things are in season like you can't get them all the times and americans probably just all modern western culture we expect things now and we don't want to have to wait like you can get strawberries in the grocery store all year round they have a growing season we just grow them in greenhouses now that's an innovation that's pretty cool on the other hand what are we missing out on because

we've simplified our minds to only expect to eat strawberries that's the only fruit this is why a lot of the climate change stuff doesn't bother me when they're like you shouldn't be getting avocados in the winter and i'm like yeah, yeah, I agree with that. It's like ridiculous that we grow avocados in Mexico and then we ship them to New York for a bunch of hipsters so they can have their winter avocado toast. Like just have the fruit and stuff that's available in your region in these times. Now, I get it. I get it. In winter, you need to ship food in because they're not growing this stuff. But I just think generally I am, I am slightly offended by urban liberals who are complaining about climate change while being the primary beneficiaries of,

of the, you know, the gas guzzling imperialism. Right. Right. It's like, it's like, dude,

it's you. It's not the dude who's got a bunch of chickens in Appalachia. Who's eating paw paw. And he's, he's not getting paw paw ships to him from Mexico. And he's preserving stuff so that in the winter he'll have some type of fruit like we made wine berry jam exactly it's great we saved it's still good it's a different mulberry jam too right it's it's a cultural difference of having to think like i'm going to have to think ahead i'm going to have to plan what i'm going to eat

in the winter so i have something we're we're much more of an on-demand society now of course i benefit from that i go to the grocery store. Like there are things that I enjoy in modernity, not having to prep food and farm all center and things like that. On the other hand, like as a culture, what did we lose when we wanted the convenience? We lost the sense of appreciation and value, you know, because when we have a meal, we don't appreciate

where has that come from? You know, who picked that from the tree? So I think that's why it's nice to grow locally if you can grow vegetables in your own garden because you appreciate it and also the taste is so much better you know when you grow lettuce or potatoes and you cook it it tastes beautiful there's no no harmful chemicals on it from monsanto or anything it's just purely out of the ground so i think there's uh there's something nice about that appreciating and kind of going back to you know old times when we used to grow our own vegetables and you know everybody if they have a little garden just grow a few

things i think that's a nice thing do you think there's emotions involved with vegetables like when you the way you pick them because i know with animals if you slaughter an animal that's in fear it'll produce a lot of cortisol the meat won't be as good i've heard that yeah i know that if i'm stressed out and i eat food i have a harder time digesting because i'm stressed so is the plant is a plant also experiencing some sort of stressor and like being frozen and shipped over long distances well held in captivity in a grocery not in a spiritual sense held in captivity not in a spiritual sense but right now we've got grapes growing all over the property they're called frost grapes and what they say you're supposed to do is you harvest them when they're plumpest and freshest which i think is coming up in a month or two you freeze them lightly and then take them out and thaw them

and that causes a chemical reaction which changes them from very tart to very sweet yeah so a lot of people wait they're called frost grapes you wait till first frost and then it converts the sugars or something like that although a lot i was i was watching a video about and they're like some people just don't care all that much. The tartness is actually quite pleasant. So maybe just want regular old wild grapes. But it's sort of nice. You have the option to do either one. So not spiritually emotional, but more chemically reactive.

That's for sure. A chemical reaction occurs. I've just been thinking more and more that cities are the devil in a certain sense. I've lived in cities my whole life. Then slowly started moving further and further away from them then in 2014 got a little time like a five acre little plot in in the redlands in miami which was less city more rural and uh semi farm like there's a lot of farms there we had only five acres but we had chickens the first time we got a chicken right

of the chicken's butt i'm like do i gotta do anything to it do i just do i just eat it and then i'm like did we just eat And then we fried up the eggs. They were great. We made food with it. Then when we were here, when we got away from Jersey and New York and all that stuff, we had a garden. I wake up in the morning, take two eggs straight from the chicken's butt. You walk right up with the chicken lays it.

They're still warm. And then you go to the garden. I pick some cherry tomatoes, grab a zucchini, go and chop it all up, fry it up. Breakfast made by me. No harmful chemicals, no BS. I think about what's going on in cities, how to feed the people who live there. Glyphosate, pesticides, atrazine, all of these really awful chemicals. The fuels that are burned to produce it, all the waste produced by it.

And I'm like, that's disgusting. It's not food. These people are eating like brominated flour and other weird chemicals and i'm like cities have become toxic wastelands where people are consuming fake food becoming extremely depressed and unhealthy that we have a story i mean suicide rates are through let me pull this one up let's talk about this look at this the daily daily mail reports suicides hit record high last year when nearly 50 000 americans took their own lives cdc report revealed that suicides in the u.s are at an all-time high i think a large component of this is what's what we see in cities obviously

covet i think destroyed a lot of people the lockdowns and all that stuff but you come out to the middle of nowhere and what do you have fresh running water granted you don't want to drink wild stuff right you know you got to clean and all that stuff but we have a well we have a well water with a filtration system so there's no gunk there's no weird chemicals there's no there's like there's no chlorine i'm pretty sure we have no chlorine uh we just it's like a multi-stage filter with a with a uv light to clean it and kill the bacteria no fluoride added just regular old well water and it's it's we have the river is right down the road fresh fruit growing all across the property it's ridiculous every month there's some new kind of fruit to eat

and we didn't even we even put it there and you can even eat the leaves nobody wants to but you can a lot of the grape leaves we got so much great oh we could wrap stuff with yeah you could wrap wrap them and soak them yeah chuck was talking about doing that so we're out here and it's like a disney fairy tale little animals running about with deer on the front the picturesque mountains in the forefront with the clean air yep you walk out you look outside you see clean air you see mist rising there's wild turkeys in the front you could back in the day they have i mentioned this they have the guns in the kitchen the the

muskets and i asked the guy like what's the musket for and they're like oh when they're cooking dinner they open the back door shoot a rodent throw the rodent in the stew and i'm like wow that's how they lived it's like you need to go honey's like open the door and you wait and you're like there we go rabbit bang so we have wild turkeys in front of the house all the time we don't do this but we could literally just capture kill one anyway we have wild turkeys in front of the house all the time. We don't do this, but we could literally just capture, kill anyone. We have deer all over the place. There's too many deer, actually. I hope, like, the deer need to be killed.

I don't want to be a dick, but there's like 25 of them. And there's poop everywhere, and they're just eating too much. So people go out and they kill them, but you could just eat the deer. It's just like the food is right there. In the cities, they use all those crazy chemicals.'s heads are whacked they're on ssris they live in cube they live in these concrete blocks that smell like sour milk that break dust coming out of the cars i was gonna say all the car emissions that they walk through to get from tiny apartment building to to the tiny office because it goes into your apartments too it's

like living in a sewer is it like that in london too your firm outside london yeah but i don't really spend much time there. But it is, I mean, the pollution is really, really bad. But, you know, on the flip side, they're trying to push the climate change thing. So they're putting plant pots in the middle of roads to stop drivers going into central London. They're charging people every single day

about $15 just to drive into central London. So that's even delivery drivers, truck drivers. So there's good and bad things about that. You know, I think it is a tough life though when people are going from the office you know nine to five they go straight to the house and they've got a tiny apartment and you know for a one-bedroom apartment in london it's like 1200 1300 so it's uh you know crammed conditions a bit like new york so it's not a way for people to live you know like tim was saying it's much better people are happier and healthier if they're living in the countryside.

You know, I spend so much time outdoors and it's so much nicer. It's fulfilling. You know, you feel that fresh air and you feel good. And, you know, you appreciate things. Like if you grow your own vegetables, you appreciate that taste.

You don't think, oh, I can just buy what I want. It's, you know, consumption. It's you actually enjoy life a bit more. Here's a crazy thing. They have a racial breakdown and an age breakdown. It is mostly millennial white people who are committing suicide oh my gosh multiracial people are very low i love this but what you need to understand is that white people are the majority

of the population so percentage is what matters the most and i think uh okay this percentage change you need to break down the amount of suicides by race, but by percentage of population. So it looks like white people are committing tremendous amounts of suicide, but it's actually fairly comparable. If you look at black or African, they're about 10% of, you know, the white population. And that's actually, so it seems statistically average suicide across all racial backgrounds. But then you do notice that from 25 to 64, substantially more suicides with the highest demographic being 25 to 44,

which is millennial into younger Gen X. It's freaky stuff, man. You know, whatever's causing this. People are having a breakdown. I think purpose matters. I think we can look at a lot of the issues that are causing something like this, and they're just directly correlated with cities. No community, no neighbors, no purpose, living in pollution and garbage and running back and forth. It must it feels I don't know, man, it just feels like the dark side.

And they can never get up the ladder. You know, they're stuck in those jobs for their whole life. They're just surviving, basically, you know, paying their bills. And it's really tough. And what's sad as well most of these people likely have mental health struggles and then you've got Canada that's legalizing euthanasia including for people with mental health so how many more people are going to feel so hopeless that they're going to take their lives you know instead of you know sending all this money to different countries you know another 24 billion to Ukraine you know America should be investing in

mental health and let's help these people we shouldn't be you know pushing people to you know feel that they've got no chance in life let's actually help them and support them with mental health i think it was someone was just saying we should reintroduce the reopen mental facilities was it vivek was it vivek do you guys remember it wouldn't be a bad idea yeah reagan shut him down in the early 80s and that was a big put him in jails instead yeah and now we have this mental health crisis that just began like right when that that big shutdown happened so maybe it's time to but like they were so horrible so many people suffered so horribly in a lot of those places that that was the justification for shutting them down but that doesn't mean that we can't do it right or do something it also it also opens the door to

you are a political dissident so So the government says mentally ill. Yeah. Or you have a medical marijuana card. Well, it's not federally legal. So off to the mental facility with you and you can't get out with armed guards. Yeah. With regular jails, you'll get a term and then you get out. Maybe you'll get out with good behavior, get out early.

But with mental facilities, they determine whether you get out or don't. I think a lot of these people are maybe not a lot, but returning veterans from the war in the Middle East, wars in the Middle East. When you come back and you realize like, wait, there were no weapons of mass destruction. Wait, Osama bin Laden. We didn't go into Afghanistan for Osama bin Laden. I thought I just spent six to eight years of my life willing to kill and seeing people get like.

And people hate me and look down on me and think that i'm bad for having been in the military i mean like their veteran suicide is serious and is a part of it i think part of it is also social media i mean it's something that we see particularly among young people anywhere from you know 15 to 35 you're seeing an increase in anxiety depression suicidal ideation uh so there might be a lot of circumstances, but I think ultimately we have bred, we have raised young people in a culture of hopelessness. And you must be reminded that every day if you're working a job that you don't like in a city where you feel like no one knows you and you go home and you lie in bed and look

on your phone for hours and hours and hours and you feel like you're not getting the same amount of likes as someone else. And why aren't you doing more with your life and that despair is is terrible where i think we need to have a culture that measures success not by online presence but in the connections you have in real life i think if you look at this data there is a really easy way to a really easy bit of data to show what's causing this you can see that males are three times more likely or three or four times more likely to commit suicide than females.

So I think a large component of this is telling men they're evil, they're bad, they're wrong. No matter, you know, I love there was this article that talked about the glass cliff. It was like Linda Yaccarino is appointed to the board of X

right when the company's about to implode. This is the glass cliff. And I'm like, man, you got a glass floor. You got a glass ceiling. You got glass walls. You got a glass cliff. Ladies be living in a big glass room. Is that it?

Don't throw stones. That's what I was going to say. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And so these people, they be doing nothing but throwing stones. And so I'm like, no matter what happens to a woman in the workplace, it is the fault of patriarchy and men.

And I'm just like, dude, come on. You can't be like Elon Musk hired who he thought was the best person for the job. We were very critical of Yaccarino. I think it's the name, right? Because she was a World Economic Forum individual. She's not being tossed off the glass cliff. She was given a prestigious position. You give a woman an executive position.

Well, it's the glass cliff to throw her off the cliff. You don't give it to her. It oh it's the glass ceiling you get you you you give her a mid-tier job and they say well that's the glass floor women are are thrown out there because they're eye candy oh just just spare me dude well and with the ocarina like them being like they hire her right as the company was about to go downhill like are you guys saying she's not capable of turning it around yes are you saying that you think she's not qualified for the job she was given? Like, are you sort of showing us what's actually happening here? I think there is such a weird conversation where women have to be protected at all costs

because they can never think that maybe a man would have been better for their position when ultimately we know that genders are function differently. I mean, it goes right down. You can study newborn babies and see a difference in the way their brains naturally develop. You can't tell me a newborn baby has been socialized at all. We know there are extreme differences. And instead of having a society that prepares people to pursue things that fall along those lines, we're saying constantly, like, something's oppressing you.

Something's bad. Actually, you're the problem. Actually, you need to stop the way you are and conform to what we want from you it's just toxic i think divorce is another one i was just watching a soft white underbelly on youtube highly recommend the one with the divorce attorney that is just recently came out a few days ago and he was saying that like in divorce proceedings the guy tends to get the raw end of the stick it's like if the guy cheats on the girl the guy's trash he's a piece of shit you know junk if the girl cheats on the girl, the guy's trash. He's a piece of shit, you know, junk. If the girl cheats on the guy, the guy probably wasn't doing enough to support her. So she had to go.

They're more likely to lose custody of their children. I mean, it's brutal. To be 18 or 16, I mean, was this around you, this like men are bad? Is that part of why you feel like I don't want to be or I don't feel right as a guy? So it wasn't like it is now when, you know, the patriarchy is constantly mocked. And you saw the Barbie movie that was kind of mocking men. So, you know, you saw the Barbie movie Mocking Men, but it wasn't around then. But I had a kind of difficult relationship with my dad.

He was very masculine. He was trying to get me to do all these outdoor things. And, you know, I didn't get on with him. So I was trying to reject that. So that was part of the reason why I became more feminine and more like a girl and stuff. But I think nowadays we're really seeing this division is, you know, a breakdown of masculinity because it's very hard to find, you know, just normal masculine guys now, right? You know, because we're having this society that's emasculating men. And again, the Barbie movie, you know, I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was cool. I love, you know, all the colors and the outfits and stuff, but I think it was mocking men and trying to make men look bad and tell women, you know, you don't need a man.

You don't need to settle down. And they even mocked the pregnant Barbie and that. So I think it's kind of teaching kids, you know, or teaching young girls, you don't need a man in life. And, you know, it's essential for starting a family, right? And growing. So I think guys are seeing that and thinking like, I'm not needed. If they're telling girls they don't need men and I'm a man, that means I'm not going to be needed. Why am I even here?

I have no purpose. And that's why we don't see strong, solid relationships anymore or marriages. You know, a lot of marriages failing or people just hooking up on apps like Tinder or Bumble because they don't see the purpose of it. You know, everything is so fast in modern society. You just go on an app, you find someone new

so they don't build that connection, which I think is really sad. That was another thing we were talking about, like 50 years ago, your pool, your dating pool was like who you knew and who you were around. Now, even when you're like married or you're in a fully committed family relationship,

if you go to check your, your notifications, you see women's faces, like the faces of hundreds of different women. It's just such a, like an erotic mess. It's not, it's not natural stimulation. At least it wasn't up to up to this now maybe we have to start considering it i mean

it's artificial but it may be becoming part of our nature but it is counterintuitive to the marriage mono uh like monogamy structure that's something else this divorce divorce attorney was talking about too geez what it's a weird a weird but i mean if we don't have kids then the human race will not proceed and this is why young men are skewing conservative it's why young men are fans of andrew tate and jordan peterson because you've got finally they're being talked to they're being explained their value they're being explained their responsibilities their opportunities and the left this is really really funny i think it was vosh who tweeted something like the reason young men are becoming conservatives because the right is talking to them we need to

do this and the response from all these leftists was all boohoo poor men shut up spare me blah blah blah and i'm just sitting here laughing being like just keep on ragging just keep on hating and more and more guys are going to be like screw screw you. I'm leaving. At first I was hurt by a girl. I blamed her. It was my fault. A lot of it went in my twenties. So I was like, happy to watch this division proceed in like 2011, 12, 13. I'm like, good. She deserves it. All women deserve it. I was so angry. And, but it's like a snowball, an avalanche rolling down the hill. Once it gets started, I it's, it's gone out of control now. I don't know. I mean, I'm sure we can grains of sand and kind of slow the thing down

because it's not a literal avalanche, but it feels like this momentum of divisiveness between men and women has been picking up steam. And that's concerning. Of course, it's, you know, shit can get changed

really fast with internet. Well, I would think movies like Barbie are sort of accelerating this, right? They're saying men are to blame. I don't know. I thought Barbie was making fun of women. I've never seen it, so I can't comment accurately. I comment i mean that's right i thought it was more mocking men it was basically teaching women don't settle down with a man you don't want to get married and there was two scenes where there was a pregnant barbie and you know will ferrell was the ceo of

mattel and basically they were mocking the pregnant barbie like she was a discarded model so it was teaching you know young girls you know don't have babies and there was a scene at the start you might have seen it in the trailer where these uh kids were on the beach and they had these baby dolls they were looking after them barbie came along suddenly they smashed them so i thought that was almost a subliminal message telling kids don't have babies or you know because it's it's not what we want in society anymore so i mean i didn't see it but my my view from the trailers and the commentary that i have seen is that if the default presentation of the Barbies is this happy-go-lucky world, and then she goes on to the real world and it's not nearly as bad. I think it shows them as airhead, vapid, stupid, lazy, entitled.

But I didn't see the movie, so I don't know. I got a hot take i don't think margot robbie's that good of an actor am i i've never heard she was good you thought she was good yeah when i look at her face i just don't see and margot come on the show i still love you but like she's just popular because she's hot and i maybe maybe i'm wrong maybe she was great in the movie i didn't see a lot of stuff stuff. I know. She's a really good actress. With Jared Leto in, what's that movie? Harley Quinn, right? Harley Quinn.

She was in Wolf of Wall Street, too. Dude, one of the worst movies I've ever seen was Birds of Prey. Was she in that, too? Yes, and it was just so bad. I saw a couple scenes with her and Ryan, not Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling. I'm actually upset you guys made me remember that movie. Sorry. not Ryan Reynolds Ryan Gosling I'm actually upset you guys made me remember that movie yeah I mean it's I hate objectifying

other actors because good for her doing what she's doing but I think it's a it's kind of an example of like where our society is at with auto-tune and like the hot girl

gets the lead because she's hot and not because the best actors well they wanted Amy Schumer originally for what Harley Quinn and they missed the mark

if they didn't hire her Amy Schumer's lizzo true well she's got a lot of problems right now would have been an issue i don't know maybe they didn't know about the problems when they were doing casting so true yeah they were it's really funny because they want to do amy schumer because they're woke and then somebody was like yeah but there's a limit like you can't just cast everyone all the time everywhere yeah i don't know. Someone just said that Margot Robbie produced the movie.

Is that right? Yeah. She was. Yeah. Yeah. I don't really care all that much about the Barbie movie. I don't want to see the Barbie movie. What?

Tim, I thought you were a huge Barbie fan. Yeah. Huge fan. You talk about Barbie all the time. How big a fan of Ryan Gosling are you? One to ten? One. Oh, really?

100? You love him? 100? I like Ryan. i think he's awesome oh i think he's one of the best actors on earth but i'm not i i mean i guess it depends on what you're what what does one represent like not a fan at all and when and ten is a big fan not a fan at all but it doesn't mean i don't like the guy like he's done anything about him i don't know whatever he's a dude he's fine you know he's doing his thing good for him he was in blade runner he was in place beyond the pines that's how he met his wife eva mendez oh i don't know the notebook and i cried have you seen it no i have not it'll change you have you seen the

notebook i know what it is but no i haven't seen it no it's it's a fantasy mandatory screening i'm going to the bathroom i love you all let's talk about uh i want to talk about sam harris let's get a little bit podcast esoteric we have this clip and there's been a whole bunch of clips about from sam harris i've been going around for those aren't familiar he's a very very big podcaster and um it appears that he has i don't know if i don't think he lost his mind i think that he embodies the grift perfectly you've got people who are passionate and dedicated to what they believe. You've got people like Brett Weinstein who are very, very adamant about their beliefs

and their expertise. And then you get Sam Harris who just says whatever the most tepid, centrist, neoliberal thing is, even if it makes no sense, even if you know he knows, he's lying about what he's saying. So he has this clip. I'm going to play this clip for you guys. You know, but dial up the deadliness of the pathogen. You know, give us something like, you know, airborne Ebola that incubates for a month. You don't know you have it,

and you walk around spreading it, and it's got, you know, a 75% fatality rate, and it's mostly killing kids. No one gets to make that choice anymore i mean then literally the the cops come in and vaccinate you and i i would say that all of us would agree to that the moment again that you turn up the lethality on the on the pathogen you turn up the effectiveness of the vaccine you turn down the risk of the vaccine, you turn down the risk of the vaccine, give me a truly safe vaccine where there's not even one documented case of vaccine injury, right? So then you just have to be completely crazy to be worried about being vaccinated in that kind of environment. Then it's just a no-brainer. Then we just don't tolerate a diversity of opinion

because the stakes are too high. It's a full-on emergency. Bodies of kids are being stacked up in parks, right? There's so many of them, we don't know what to do with them. We've got these mobile morgues and we have a vaccine that actually works. And then we've got RFK Jr. saying, you know, maybe you don't want you know maybe you don't want to get the jab on rogan's podcast right so did you hear what he just said about rfk jr he says imagine a scenario where it's a 75 mortality rate the vaccine is perfect everyone knows it's perfect and children and children are dying being put on the street. Now RFK is saying, don't do it? No, no, no, no. RFK was talking about now you made up a fake scenario in your own mind and then criticized

RFK for saying something in your own mind. Dude is losing it. He's completely losing it. This was the bodies in the, like he could have children's bodies in the basement and I would still vote for him guy, right? Like I don't really understand how he made his career happen when it's based completely apparently in fiction. I want to read this tweet from Dave Smith. He said, quote, imagine if everything was completely different, then things would be different.

Imagine if COVID had a 100% death rate and the vaccine was perfectly safe. RFK looks pretty stupid now. It's just absolutely remarkable. I'll tell you what I think sam harris is doing he just wants to stay on the good side of the machine he wants to still maintain some kind of academic contrarian personality type but he is worried about being the on the other side of the machine that's it so what he just said made literally no sense. I missed the best minute.

Probably. But I also want to point out to this whole statement. Let's just say you have airborne Ebola. 100% mortality rate or whatever. 30 day incubation. Like the worst case scenario. And then RFK Jr. Comes out and says, maybe you don't want to get the vaccine.

And the police are going into people's homes and forcefully vaccinating them. My response right away is I don't trust the government. Sam Harris's world is so insane. It's like he lives in this reality where the government is a big marshmallow man that wants to hug you like, bro, that the government quite literally is a demon, is a gigantic demon with fangs trying to drink your blood okay there there are some circumstances where that gigantic demon does things for us because there are other gigantic demons trying to drink our blood you see what i'm saying and so one day the gigantic government demon

stops a war from happening like stops an invasion from coming into showing your home you go wow thank you so much demon see this is why we need the demon. Then the demon grabs someone, cracks them in half and drinks their blood and throws their body. Like the Sam Harris needs to read a history book because governments throughout history in almost every single circumstance are really, really bad. There's good things that come with government, small government. I'm talking like small towns and local stuff tends to work fairly well, but-scale stuff tends to be very very demonic and here's a guy so desperate to stay in the neoliberal space that he makes this he espouses his sophistry i wish i'd heard it well i think what's strange is the mental gymnastics he has to go through to

create a scenario where the world that he wants is correct where rfk is you know saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing so he creates a completely fake scenario it it seems like the worst talking point of all time i'm sure i say weird stuff too on the internet but it seems indicative of the culture he is in where i could give you a completely hypothetical situation that I have made up and then apply it to a real world example that actually has nothing to do with it. I love this response from Tristan Tate. He said, if ifs and buts were candies and nuts. That's an excellent, excellent response to Sam Harris. I think what happened is,

and the reason why I want to talk about this this is like this is the intellectual dark web guy that this big podcast what was his podcast called yeah you remember what it's called it was sam harris something intelligent something i don't know and it was him and he would sit around with joe rogan and ben shapiro and jordan peterson and dave rubin and they would talk about all this stuff it was like oh very fascinating and now he's been going out saying making sense that was making sense criticizing joe rogan saying he's captured by his audience i'm like bro that's quite literally you joe joe rogan drink just drank bud light joe rogan on two occasions cracked up the whole thing was silly despite the massive backlash against the company that's not audience

capture that's joe rogan just being him and doing what he wants to do this guy is willing to say whatever nonsense he can just try and stay in the limelight not piss off the neoliberal establishment that's the definition of grifting i suppose well i'd like to get him in studio at some point it seems like we have a lot of uh familiar of similar friends he was just with uh with um on modern wisdom right yeah but he won't do it. He's like, he said in one interview, I would love to talk with Jordan or Brett, you know, about these things. And then he literally doesn't talk to them. Or I don't think he mentioned Brett.

It was like Jordan and Joe or something. I don't know. Brett Weinstein. Yeah, yeah. And then Brett's like, he literally won't talk to us about this. And Brett's an evolutionary biologist. So it's just like, he's, it's plastic, man. Yeah, he knows he's supposed to say, oh, no, of course I'd be willing to talk to them. And it's like, he's he's he's it's plastic man yeah he knows he's

supposed to say oh no of course i'd be willing to talk to them and it's like then do it immediately the entire he knows his arguments flawed he wouldn't win an argument so that's why he won't if he's allowed to make up his own facts and everyone agreed with him 100 then he could win so i don't understand he can just make up scenarios all day long and he'll be fine right that's what we learned from this interview yeah i think that's so weird to make this hypothetical because you don't like rfk jr so much that you would say if the virus was more deadly and also vaccines were better and also there was a massive emergency like none of those things happened point to one time that has happened where this has been the case he can can't even cite a historical precedent.

It doesn't make any sense to me. Was he playing the devil's advocate to the point where he has just become the devil? So I think what happened with him is he has Trump derangement syndrome. That is so weird coming from a guy that's supposed to be an intellectual. I still don't get it. Here's what I think happens. He sees Trump losing and he thinks to himself oh man if i'm on the side of trump i'm on the wrong side of history i'm done i'm gonna come out and say

whatever to say whatever i have to say to be this centrist but still in the good side of the machine personality i get that forces him to adopt a bunch of positions that make no sense i get that from neil degrasse tyson too i think he just said there was many genders. He's a scientist and he said that. Yep. And I'm like, I want to be diplomatic with these guys, but it's just to the point where if you're going to be dumb, you're not part of the solution. They're not going to be dumb.

They're evil. Either one or the other. Either they're plaintively stupid or they're acting maliciously. This is a scary reality. When you see someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson come out and be like like there are more than two genders you're like okay how much did they pay you because like come on dude you can look up any fifth grade science book and it'll tell you about the i'm sorry more than two sexes that you look up any any fifth grade biology book there are two sexes oh so did he say there's more than two genders but no he said sexes he said that

we've learned now confusing and then you got that guy guy, Colin Wright posted this, the guy who said that there are six biological sexes. It's like these people are unwell. Two plus two equals five. Their worldview is shattered. I don't see how they can build a cohesive community if their worldview makes no sense. Well, you know what I'm thinking about is religion. How do you build a cohesive community around something that cannot be proved?

Like if you tell a kid two plus two equals five, but look, here's two. And here's two. If you count them, that's one, two, three, four. But two plus two equals five. The kid will think, okay, I can accept these things, even though I can't prove why or it doesn't make sense, but I will accept that those are both true. And so you could make a community. Now their logical pathways, their reasoning breaks because now they can't connect dots. Do you think that, I don't want to get too deep into religion, but people that just blindly

accept, have faith in things that are unprovable, that they have like broken logic pathways? No. Do you have to break your logic pathway to believe something without proof no what do you mean well without without evidential proof so why would you ever believe it so let's say you stumble across a chalk a spattering of chocolate on your floor and there is a cake on your counter that is destroyed something ate your cake and got the chocolate on the floor. The first thing we do is we make an assumption. We form a hypothesis. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and assume that someone smashed and destroyed the cake. That's apparent by the fact

the cake is smashed and destroyed. I'm now going to assume that it was not a human who did it because a human would not flip the cake and the chocolate onto the ground. Oh, hold on. Why would you believe something without proof? Why would you operate under this concept without actually having been able to prove it? The only way to lead yourself to prove it is if you operate under the assumption it is potentially true. So now you're sitting here saying, it's going to take me a while to figure out what happened to this cake, but I think it was an animal that did it. Okay, now we assess how many animals do we have in the house.

We have a cat, we have a dog. Likely not going to be the cat. Maybe the cat though, the cat may be like boop, booped it off the counter. Maybe the dog jumped up and got it. We're going to choose a hypothesis and then we're going to pursue it. We are going to operate under an assumption so that we can try and figure out the truth. Now it may turn out to be that both the cat and the dog are covered in chocolate and you're going to have to operate without being able to know for sure. My point here is that's logic. If you can look at a cake on the ground and it's flipped over and be like, okay, none of the humans here did this, right? It's possible they did, but unlikely they did. So I'm not going to pursue that course of

investigation. That's using logic. Now, if a child can't understand the concepts because they've been told two plus two equals five, they look at the cake on the ground, they look at the cake on the counter, they see the smash, the smash, the chuck on the floor, and they go, a rabbit broke into my house and got my cake? Oh, wow, they'll be more likely to believe. Nonsensical, insane things that you should not be led to believe. You get what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Like, you pointed out pretty well. say two and two right that equals four but then these leftists come out and say two plus two equals five but if you take the pencils and lay them out you go one two three four hey wait a minute that's not five now if the kid is like no but it is five and there's no fifth pen there you know it's it's

nonsense for the record it's what they're saying is 2.3 plus 2.3 equals 4.6 when you round it up yeah when you round it up that's why i have 2.3 rounded down is two so technically but generally but it's not technically right and it's not even generally right it's not math that's not mathematics either uh so i don't yeah i don't it's literally false they're just trying to manipulate people people's ability to formulate complex ideas sort of like a sam harris argument if things were slightly different than the outcome would have been and then you have what i'm and then you have rfk saying don't take the vaccine it's like wait what what did he say that didn't happen in the alternate reality i've made up for myself i can't believe what rfk jr is

saying which is based not in reality at all it's like some angry teenage girl in the shower thinking about like well you know that guy was so mean to me i bet he said this ha he's so dumb it's like some angry teenage girl in the shower thinking about like, well, you know, that guy was so mean to me. I bet he said this. Ha, he's so dumb. It's like. And then they start to believe that it actually happened. It's the human equivalent of like AI generated images. Like if I can be like, I want exactly this scenario.

And now RFK is wrong. Like it's so ridiculous. I just don't understand like what he was trying to accomplish with this argument. But I think the big picture here with what the left is doing in terms of attacking the ability to reason and logic is that kids are going to grow up and they're going to be unable to understand the world or solve problems. That's the point. That's why they attack math.

I got to ask you, Ali, because we're about to go to super chats, but I think maybe your book ties in this. Can you tell me really kind of briefly, like what is this book? What's it about and what happened? So Gender Madness is basically talking about all these issues of kids being confused online so you know kids taking to tiktok for validation and how that algorithm manipulates them it's also about

how schools are you know teachers are in some cases transitioning kids without the parents even knowing um and you know i've got a lot of research in the book about data which actually counters the mainstream narrative and you know mainstream narrative says there's no detransitioners it's a very low rate everybody's happy all these kids live happily every after right we know that's not true it's it's just like we're talking about you know it's they these people they reject the reality they want you to reject the logic that you know cutting off a girl's breasts is a good thing to do because it's not but they want us to believe that that is a good thing so the book you know covers all these issues it covers um how people can fall in fall victim to this kind of gender ideology and indoctrination you know what are the solutions out there we've

got uh sweden has reversed their policy they were the pioneers in gender transitions on kids they have now stopped doing puberty blockers and hormones on on minors we have the uk that is also passing similar laws so we see europe is slightly ahead of the us and the us is currently where it's all happening there's been an explosion in the last five years so it's really covering all of these issues and what we can do to speak up for these kids and you know speak up for parents so it's um it's out in a couple of days let's let's let's uh talk about a lot more of this in the members only show we'll get really in depth on this stuff we can uh get not so family friendly but we're gonna go to super chat so if you haven't already smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show

if you really do like it and head over to timcast.com click join us we're gonna have the members only uncensored show coming up in about a half an hour you don't want to miss it we're gonna talk more about these issues of gender ideology. And there are some really shocking social media posts from people who have detransitioned that are very, very sad that we will bring up. And I think you guys need to hear this. You need to hear what these young people are saying. They're asking where their parents were to have helped them and prevented this. And we'll save it, but we'll read some more Super Chats. We'll start reading Super Chats.

All right. I'm not your buddy, guy, says. I wanted to get your opinion on the Michigan election integrity issues recently revealed. However, I got to say this song, Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony really hit me deep and you all need to hear it. Finally, you should see if you can get Douglas Murray on. I have seen only a little bit about the Michigan election stuff and I've asked some friends

about it. I don't know enough about it as of right now. And the guy singing that song he mentioned is giving one of the performances of a lifetime. You should find the video and listen to it. It's incredible. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, don't you tell me that I'm the only one

when you have something to celebrate you don't call your homeboys over so you can cuddle up and kiss? So at 6 p.m., for those that are confused, I saw a tweet from tristan tate that said straight men cuddle and kiss sometimes or in bromances and then i looked up the story and it had been popping up on reddit in a lot of these lgbtq community pages and they were like this is totally legit like straight men hug kiss and cuddle all the time bros always snuggle and i'm

like no no no they don't bros don't snuggle and like there's a picture of two men kissing and it's like if you're a straight man sometimes you want to kiss your homie and i'm like what and apparently metro published a story in 2017 where there was a study done that found that straight men it said and this i think they're just trying to lie to kids like they're trying to trick people and think this is the stuff's normal dudes aren't doing this like it's just not happening it said uh when surveyed most men said that when when they're hanging out with their with their uh uh with their friends their male their straight male friends they will sometimes walk around naked snuggle with each other and kiss on the lips no i'm like, dude, those are gay people.

And there's no problem with being gay. Just say you're gay. Don't say you're a straight guy. And I'm like, if they surveyed a guy who claimed to be straight, but then all of a sudden he kissed his male friends on the lips, he's just in the closet, dude. He's not straight. But I thought that was funny, so I did a segment on it.

That's what Raymond G. Stanley Jr. is referring to. For Brit says, when you start selling your chickens, you should call them cast brewed chickens. It'll match your cast brew coffee. Love you guys. It's the chicken city strain. We have to figure out Roberto Jr.'s children. And we believe he has two or three sons. How are you going to decide who gets to be the new king

of the castle over there the new sheriff in town yeah someone is going to become the heir to the roberto lineage and it's not always uh you know sometimes it's not always age-based in our well no i mean look there's many stories of the king has two sons and then one child is chosen over the other and then the brother is angry why wasn't I chosen to be the heir to the throne? Why is my brother? And these other roosters are going to have to deal with it. On the next season of Chicken City. Yeah, Roberto III.

I think maybe an overthrow of the entire Beaks lineage may be in order. I bullish on Luke. Luke's got the hair, man. That guy looks like a dog. I'll say it again. Are his feet still weird? And he actually is. He's actually pretty nice and uh uh you know like apparently you can like he'll crawl into your lap and you can pet him and stuff and he's super chill

yeah but uh luke rickowski tweeted about it because he's named after luke but no no the beaks dynasty will be forever we are we are going to have this great history of you know generations of the beaks let's hope that it does not devolve into civil war it won't so you know roberto they're all his kids like roberto the one rooster he's got like 80 children zoosted up dude he's just well no he's got probably like 50 but then he's got a bunch of grandkids too like man this dude he he had kids and he's back the king has returned and but apparently him and luke don't get along and they tried to spur each other yeah i think roberto he's like battle hardened

now spending all he's always been he's always been pretty tough i think it's because he got napoleon complex because when they thought he was a girl and luke can't be i can't remember all of when all the chickens arrived but he can't be the sheriff because he's not actually a descendant of roberto jr right or is well that's obvious you know he's a usurper but the bigger issue is that he has a domed head and so if he gets pecked in the head he'll just die oh yeah you don't want to make a a weak a weak chicken the king but i'm we gotta we gotta go look uh roberto jr's kids are all still very very young they're only a few a few weeks I think and so we need to figure out

who's the boys and who's the girls what if there aren't any boys what are you gonna do no there aren't what if they're trans trans chickens well we thought

we thought we thought Roberto was no we thought Roberto was so we bought we bought I think we got eight baby chicks that were supposed to be chickens

we don't want rooster we just wanted chickens we wanted just eight and then two of them died. And then one of them started, one day went, and we were like, what the hell was that?

And then I'm like, why are that? Why would a hen grunt? And they're called alpha, were the alpha hens or something like that? Where if there's no male, a female will become like masculine and be basically trans chicken.

No, for real. We'll start acting like a rooster and then people were just like yo i think that's just a rooster and then i'm like what and then the success rate of successfully gendering uh sexing the baby chicks is like only nine out of ten ninety percent so we ended up getting a rooster then i'm like well now we got a rooster and then he started you know doing his thing once he got old enough. And then we had eggs and we incubated them. And Roberto Jr. and Maggie and Bernie were the first three chickens. Aw. Yep.

So Roberto Jr. And that was like two years ago at this point? Two years ago. It was almost exactly two years ago. I remember it so well in the front yard. Yeah, I remember when they were in the front yard in the garden. And Roberto Jr., we had in the house, in our room, in a little cage because he was super tiny. And he'd run around and jump up on the bed and stuff. And we had to clean up poop all the time.

It was really awful and disgusting. Oh, yeah. He'd tear up on the bar downstairs, too. Yeah, he'd run around. Yep. That's awesome. too yeah he'd run around yep and then uh but i think because he was like the first you know of of the the breeding there were some issues he had he had a uh a messed up foot that was indicative of some kind of malnourishment and when when roberto jr was first crowing he would pass out

and there's nothing we could do about that he would go and just fall hit the ground and we were like something's wrong with him but what do you do right we with not much we can do and so this explains why he probably had a heart attack and died dude his crows are the most unique and i will do it again for imposterity i love you junior like you could hear him really struggling thanks for that let's read some mad love all right waffle sentences haven't been notified for the show in three days it must be election season that's right that's why you guys should copy click share grab the url post it wherever you can because youtube doesn't want other people to watch this show that's right yanette santana says hi ollie glad you came through all the

madness i follow you on X. Ian, move to Cuba. Hi, Tim. Hello. Cuba. Cuba? Soy Cubano. You're talking about Cuba?

When Mr. Burns says he wants to live in their socialist paradise. And then Fidel's like, You're talking about Cuba? And then he steals the trillion dollar bill. He's like, Can I see it? And Mr. Burns is like, I don't know.

He's like, Okay. And then he goes like, Okay, now give it back give what back the trillion dollar bill classic simpsons man what do we got here k-sum says matt walsh x'd oliver anthony's rich men north of richmond i cannot stop listening to him gotta check that song out i guess everybody's talking about it it's like been blowing up oh oh i think i saw that's the guy playing guitar in the in like the super area or whatever oh yeah yeah i saw that that was really good it's an example of like what makes great music in my opinion there's no auto-tune it's just a dude i also love this idea that people

are just like hey this is a really good song i've got to tell it to you instead of it being sort of like a big music company that's saying like we're gonna have a radio release and now everyone's gonna hear it there's something cool about the organic nature of this look at this barack tobias obama says bydonomics backwards is skim one dib skims definition is to remove or embezzle and dib means money just found that odd that proves it yep dova kin said fun fact when Oprah Winfrey bought her property she had the road connecting Kihei to Kula shut down it more

than doubled the drive time between the two towns the locals hate her more than anyone well why would anyone allow her to do that look you know I just don't know I just don't know people being like we live in a small community and a very wealthy person is shutting our roads down shucks it's like bro you got a bad police

department you got a bad mayor's office you got to get these people out you got to vote them out i don't know grofty has a 20 for ian i don't know what it was for but you know there you go there you go 94 made said imagine if someone could manipulate weather and cause disaster disasters like this but that'd be crazy huh well we did end up talking about and speculating whether or not china had space lasers well actually i'm sorry china does have space lasers the question is can those space lasers start fires oh and i looked into it from laser uh safety facts.com apparently regular i guess you would call these uh consumer grade lasers no the redder the laser the hotter so like green lasers are less hot i think i'm not

an expert and correct me if i'm wrong and that they don't go very far red if it was infrared lasers you're talking about lasers you can't see that's not on the list but it's only like 30 feet that a red laser can start a fire consumer grade yeah consumer grade lasers so these high powered military who knows if they're even google search megawatt laser i think that's like a psychotically powerful laser what does it say because i think i think kilowatt lasers are crazy yeah the lasers I was looking at were... Megawatts are when Trump creates them. Megawatts? Mega? Yeah, I'm looking at like 5,000 milliwatt lasers.

I don't think that's very much. Yeah, like I think the kilowatt lasers are the ones that start fires. I'm not sure. Like a megawatt laser would be nuts. So you think if it comes out and someone's like, the cause of this fire was arson, you're going to feel more like there's credibility or you're going to feel like it's

more like... There's no way they would tell us if it was. If the reality was that China could start fires with satellites, the last thing they want is for the U.S. to panic. You're going to get hit with a laser. Alright. I fly mile high, says Tim. I once had a conversation with a resident of mine.

Five minutes later, I sit down and see an advertisement for the company on his shirt. I have never heard of the company before, nor looked it up. We live in a simulation. It's procedurally generated. That's why the ads are such. Because the AI isn't that sophisticated. We're all playing some kind of video game. Oh, and I ordered one of those VR treadmill things.

Good. What's a VR treadmill? Yeah, it's like uh it's a bowl you stand on and strap into and then you have these special shoes and when you run you can't actually move and you can like turn we got to get all the haptic stuff now like gloves and vests so you can feel yourself getting hit i'll put together a list okay and then we'll make a video about it or something yeah it's gonna be great but i got the thing it's like you stand it's got this the thing you strap into and then when you put the headset on you can play a video game where you actually run on the treadmill can

you jump no does the harness hold you you can jump they got super advanced ones coming out do they market it for video games or like as an exercise video games well both actually because like do you guys remember we fitness it would be like you can be on the we and dude you want to lose weight play that um what is it called? Space Pirate Trainer? Yeah, that game's awesome. Dude, that game is so much fun. And for those that aren't familiar, you're basically just standing on the small platform.

There's a bunch of little robots that fly around and you have different types of guns and you're shooting at them. And you can also pull out a shield and like a lightsaber and whack them. It's all around you. You spin around like 360 doing martial arts. I played that one on the Oculus. And then there's one where you're like an assassin or something

you're like killing people or whatever but i was in the skate park when i did it and you have to like punch someone who's coming close to you and i punched the wall because i had you gotta set the boundaries i didn't do it well so now i've retired from my vr video game punch the wall yeah it was like square and then i felt like lift up the glasses and i was like did your hand hurt it did hurt but i mean you feel like i had a lot of street cred i felt like a true video game person you draw you draw the boundaries and you i think i had just messed it up because i'm not very good at it but that's the thing if we if with this treadmill thing you can you stand it you can't go anywhere it's much safer when you're in it you can move around you've they got to make one where you can jump yeah that's

and duck too if you can like well you could definitely crouch dude when you're in it, you can move around. You've, they got to make one where you can jump. Yeah. And duck too. If you can like, well, you can definitely crouch when you can jump and like go on your stomach and like fly. That's going to be, I mean, I think there are ones that do that. Jumping's key.

Also, why can you take wide steps? Or is it one of the smaller ones where you've got to, I have no idea how big your legs together. Yeah. There's a new one called the Omni one that has the single arm that connects to your, to a harness.

And then it spins around. That's not available yet. They're doing this ad campaign where they're like, invest in the company or whatever, but there's other treadmills you can get. And then you go into a padded room if you're me. Yeah, we can do multiplayer with that. It's going to be wild.

Justin G says, To your point, Tim, I remember when I saw my first total solar eclipse. Total letdown compared to what I expected thanks to Hollywood and social media. Dude, you ever see those photographs where it's like there's a the moon is really really big and there's like a person standing there and you're like wow how did they get a picture of the moon so big they're very very far away and there's a telephoto lens and they zoom in and it makes the moon look big compared to the backdrop all of this stuff man so much of life

is just made to look more magical than it really is. And then you go somewhere and you're like, oh, that's cool, I guess. You know? The colors are always saturated.

Go to Denmark and you see those photos of like in Denmark those colorful houses and you go there and everything's a bit more dull than that. They brighten the colors.

Come here. The candy is covered in salt. It's not delicious. It's rather awful. People sue the fast food chains that use styrofoam to make their burgers look bigger. I mean, everything's an illusion. the colors come here the candy is covered in salt it's not delicious it's rather awful people sue the fast food chains that use styrofoam to make their burgers look bigger i mean everything's an illusion oh wow there are two big lawsuits with that what they do with burgers is when they make the burger first of all it's like not even a real burger but they'll cut it a triangle in the back

and then spread it out so you can't see the back of the burger it looks wide yeah such scumbaggery dude any anybody who's ever seen a commercial for a big mac knows you ain't getting that when you order it how can they that's that's false advertising but that's taco bell come on ain't no way someone's gonna try and tell me that what i see on the menu is what they're giving me because it's always like i love taco bell by the way but it's always smashed you know and you're just like nah come on there really was a big class action lawsuit against uh mcdonald's i believe and there might be one against taco bell right now of people who are like showing the advertisement and saying like this was not it because there there is a

certain amount of manipulation they're allowed to do to make the food look better but they're saying like it's the reading these are really funny because it'll be like it's 50 cheesier than advert or less cheesy than advertise and like you want to be like who is spending the time writing this lawsuit but i mean the consumers aren't happy did you see that crazy viral video yesterday on twitter with that i think it was a man in a costume he had this kind of weird neck mask and he was in mcdonald's complaining about the fries did you see that one yeah i didn't look into it i think it was fake there's so many people saying oh it was a man in a mask or it was a general woman but they had this weird mask almost like um bow select if you ever saw that it was a. There's so many people saying, oh, it was a man in a mask or it was a general woman, but they had this weird mask,

almost like Bo Select, if you ever saw that. It was a comedy show in the UK. Weird, but it was all over the internet. It was actually really funny. But yeah, people have divided whether it's a real person or just someone in a mask,

you know, trying to be a Karen for attention to go viral, basically. So everybody in the chat's ragging on Taco Bell. KP says Taco Bell is an awesome laxative. I actually don't have any issues when I on Taco Bell. KP says Taco Bell is an awesome laxative. I actually, I actually don't have any issues when I eat Taco Bell.

I was surprised because I didn't have it for a decade or whatever. And then I decided I was, I think I was, I was on like Grubhub or something and Taco Bell popped up and I'm like, let's just, I haven't ordered Taco Bell in a long time. Had no problems whatsoever. Actually felt decently well after having it. Had some recently and also decently well.

However, however, someone said, let's see, Simulacra virus as Taco Bell blows. Well, it's certainly not food. I don't know. It tastes great, though. And then Diego Zion says Taco Bell does not look appetizing ever. WTF. Fair point. Fair point.

And someone else called it dog food. OK, I accept it but uh the thing is taco bell pioneered staying open super late and even now in this area it's open the latest so if you want food after i don't know your late night podcasting thing you know you go to taco bell have you guys seen the memes have you seen hang out there for a long time have you and as a skateboarder tradition after we finished skating we'd get taco bell and then we'd you'd get baja blast but have you ever have you seen the meme where it's like taco bell it's four in the morning and there's like a maserati and then like a like a 1992 chevy great equalizer the great equalizer everybody's just trying to live mas

yo we went to taco bell last weekend and it was like i don't know what time it was it was like 10 or something and that's exactly what we saw there were like two sports cars in the front looking really nice and then regular cars behind and i was like man people really just want to live mass yeah they do and taco ball is interesting because they have their like number one it's uh popular among vegans and vegetarians because they have more options uh but also they have their cantinas where they're like different restaurants where they can serve alcohol. They're some of the major cities. As a brand, I actually think they're really interesting. They can't

make you eat there if you don't want to. I've seen how they make the food because there's an Instagrammer who like his account is like Taco Bell prep. It's disgusting. Oh, why? It's so nasty. Like the beans are a bag of powder that they pour into like a vat and then it like it's

just like a gel that reconstitutes when they grab the beef i'm just like i do not want to eat any of that but then we end up at taco but the cheese is fine is it yeah the cheese is fine i used to love it in the 90s i don't i don't i don't like wheat tortillas yeah i'm away from that now corn tortillas and even then i try to avoid that you know if i go we go to uh there's a really really great mexican restaurant called me de goyado which apparently means like slitting a man's throat in spanish yeah apparently but uh it's amazing and it's out here in west virginia so i always get the fajitas and i just say no tortillas and then it's just yeah it's like as healthy as healthy can be it's chicken peppers and onions you know how you gonna go wrong with that i call it real Taco Bell.

All right. A green clover says the lasers from China could be from LIDAR mapping bunkers and ideal targets for a first strike. Yep.

But China said it was nothing. They said it was nothing to worry about, right? So we should trust them. Yeah, they're just looking for pollution centers. They said that about COVID,

didn't they, when it first came out? They said, oh, it's nothing to worry about. It's fine. We're containing it. And look what happened. So we can't trust their word. Christopher Marr says, Tim, you should make a rise with Roberto Jr. zombie version

with a foot coming out of the ground or Roberto Jr. coffee strong enough to wake the dead. Also rip Roberto Jr. I love that comment because it's like, let's make fun of the fact that he died. Also rip. How about for Halloween, we make a blend called re-rise with roberto jr he's back we'll do only a couple hundred of them and it'll be like a

premium roast you know limited edition halloween blend i'll drink it that'd be funny that'd be cool because you are i mean most brands roll out the pumpkin spice in the fall and you guys have a halloween blend blend re-rise with roberto jr and it'll be a zombie foot coming out of a we're giving him a viking funeral this sunday i think oh i'm gonna miss it so we we have uh we have a pond and so we're going to make a little boat put reeds on it place him on it we're going to tie a rock to a string tie tie the end to the little boat and throw it into the middle of the pond so that it anchors it and then we're going to you, throw a little fire on it. Oh.

Yeah. Give him a little Viking funeral. Yeah. Poor little guy. He didn't have a good heart. We don't think. Great rooster. But they're chickens.

I mean, in any other world, he probably would have been food. He would have been killed and eaten when he started hurting the hens. Well, what they do is they call it giving them to nature. Because you don't want boys. So when you're naturally hatching the eggs, when you get boys, you just take them out of the coop and place them on the ground. And that's it. You walk away and little dude just isn't there tomorrow. Well, that's giving them back to nature.

We've got like 10 roosters at Cocktown over at Freedomistan. And I'm like, why do we have these roosters? Let's eat them. They're food. One of like, they've been fighting because they don't really, they're not, they don't really like the idea of roosters killing each other is not really true. Only if there's girls around. So they're mostly fine, but they're not living well.

And I'm like, let's just put them in a pressure cooker, man. And then have some rooster stew. Do you need to get them checked for parasites or anything uh i know i i we've raised them and i don't think we have to worry about that they're fed farm like organic good stuff but um chris doesn't want to eat them so i was like okay then let's just open the door let them go do their thing you know i i really would love this idea if we had like 50 roosters i envision this fox like sneaking up onto the property and like hearing the rooster crow and thinking, I'm going to get me some food. And then he like sees one rooster sitting there looking around, you know, bobbing its head. And the fox is like, oh, yeah.

And the fox creeps up and then it jumps for the rooster. And then all of a sudden, like there's 300 roosters with glowing eyes looking at the fox. And the fox is like, no, what is this? And then the roosters eat the fox instead that'd be awesome yeah that'd be so cool roosters being like that'd be a commercial for stand your grounds yeah

in memory of Roberto Jr. alright we'll grab a couple more super chats what do we got over here Eric Elman says Tim multiple Canada fires not started by satellite lasers and tim hawaii fires could have been started by satellite laser so what i said was the most likely scenario in hawaii is that someone's cow kicked over a lantern all right the most likely scenario in

canada was there was actually a map showing a bunch of lightning strikes now could there have been you know attacks by yeah for sure i'm not i'm not like i'm literally calling it a conspiracy theory and just talking about weapons capabilities but i gotta i gotta be honest i'm willing to bet some ladies cow kicked over a lantern you guys know that reference right yes i don't know if that was a unique to chicago thing and i was like saying we all observe chicago culture in this house what we do What's her name? We ordered Portillo's today. Oh, cool.

Yeah, maybe we should have hot dogs. Do you know the name? I went to a Portillo's for the first time over the summer. And it was very cool. You want to talk about fast food? Okay. Portillo's is the best ever. No question.

My only question is, do they have green dye in the relish? Because it's very green. No, no, no, no. I'm pretty sure they don't. There's a lot. Yeah, relish. It's just good. It, no, no, no. I'm pretty sure they don't. Yeah, relish, it's just good. It's really good. I think we should have a...

It's a good question though because I thought that too. Yeah, I think we should have a board game or a card game where we like create conspiracy theories because, you know, you were just speculating

about the lasers. We should be allowed to talk freely. Yeah, about volcanic blasts and stuff. Like Cards Against Humanity but instead of, I don't know, whatever they were're doing you make conspiracy theories like false flags

oh that is a good idea for a game like kind of like cards against humanity but you have different conspiracy theories and so everyone gets dealt cards and then so you have like a result and a conspiracy it's like the tinfoil hat that's a good idea and then people will like we have

there will be three sets of cards there will be like conspiracy and result and then there will be like um the like the the scandal or something right so someone draws a card and it says like wildfires were started in canada and then everyone has to choose two cards explaining what happened. Billy's explosive fart, you know, stuff like that. Well, obviously that isn't it. One of them will be like, cow kicks over a lantern and then the other one is, you know, causing a massive explosion which destroys

three small towns. And then you like play it down and then people will vote on who they think is the funniest and then just like that, you know, you win. That'd be fun. Alright, you've heard it. Who wants to make it? Also, we should probably open source the video game. Love the idea. I think we should create open source the video game. Love the idea. I think we should create a Discord room and we'll put the code out in the video game Discord server.

People can just make the game. That's a good idea. It's Game Maker, I think. Yeah. Yeah. That would be good. Matthew Draga says, my family just bought a restaurant in Lahaina that used to be a chart house.

We were renovating it and now it's gone. I'm not looking for sympathy. Lots of people lost their homes. Pray for Maui. Man, sorry to hear it. Speaking of, Kellen sent us a map on Twitter. You could pull up if you want from Steve Luchner. It's at Luchner, L-O-U-K-N-E-R, and it's a map of all the houses that were destroyed

in the fire. It's all this red stuff. I don't know if it's accurate, but it was devastating to look at. Apparently, there's a lot of houses. And it's a lot of coastal stuff. I guess they know if it's accurate, but it was devastating to look at. Apparently there's a lot of houses. And it's a lot of coastal stuff. I guess is that they're all on the coast and then there's mountain. They can't really get up

in the mountain. I don't think so. I'm not your junior, Raymond. That's a very good name, says. Dandelions have medicinal properties in the sap. All parts are edible. Leaves taste a bit like kale.

Boil the roots for hours to make soup. Nectar makes a delicious jelly. Bees love them. Dandelions are the chicken of the plant a delicious jelly bees love them dandelions are the chicken of the plant world i grew up with dandelions being garbage and we're like trying to get rid of them and then i learned out here that they were actually brought here intentionally because they were medicinal and you can look up uh appalachian dandelion recipes they batter and deep fry them and apparently they taste like mushrooms. So actually Ian started it when he mentioned dandelion tea.

And then we were at, I think Mom's Organic. And we bought some. We bought a couple different kinds. And it was the best tea I've ever had. I was like, I remember what it was. I think it was like vanilla dandelion or something. And I was like, this is amazing. And those circular ones.

Yeah. Those are so good. So good. Some people use, is it dandelion tea or dandelion, some combination of fruits as a replacement for coffee. say don't drink the coffee drink this it'll give you the energy boost a very nice tradesman mountain man when i moved to west virginia told me that wow yep all right let's grab some more what do you have this nina a says rest easy roberto roberto jr roberto his dad is still around all right purple says give tim his viking funeral i fully intend

to have a viking funeral when i die and it has been declared as so so this is in the public record on the pond no wherever legal it'll be like in norway with legit vikings too that'd be cool that'd be awesome but i i i thought about this when i was younger it's like why would you want to be embalmed and put in a box and buried? That sounds horrifying. Nah, put me in a boat, kick me out to sea, and set me on fire. What about being shot into space? I don't know. That's weird. Alright, everybody.
