Oh, hey, how's it going?
Amazing.
I just finished paying off all my debt with the help of the Credit Counseling Society.
Whoa, seriously?
I could really use their help.
It was easy.
I called and spoke with a credit counselor right away.
They asked me about my debt, salary, and regular expenses,
gave me a few options, and help me along the way.
You had a ton of debt.
And you're saying Credit Counseling Society helped with all of it?
Yep.
And now I can sleep better at night.
When Debt's got you, you've got us.
Give Credit Counseling Society a call today.
Visit no more debts.org.
What's up everybody, welcome back.
It is Tuesday. Once again, it's January 13th, 2026, to be exact.
We're recording this from Monday, January 12th at about 1 p.m. on the West Coast.
That's where we're coming to you from.
In time and space, I'm Trey. That's Mark.
How you doing, Mark?
Good, man.
I got a lot to talk about today.
Mostly about stuff involving Minnesota, maybe some Greenland stuff.
We have time to get to it.
So before we get to the show, though, a couple of things to note.
The U.G. Government has worked with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinator
a ban on X, which by this
American government would be treated like
an act of war.
Jerome Powell, the chairman
of the Federal Reserve, posted what I can only describe
as, you ever
see when a president's palace is surrounded in the verge
of a coup and it gives like a
last minute radio address?
Right. Yeah.
Yeah, he put out some sort
of message or whatever, basically just
saying that they would
fight back or whatever.
against Trump, like in the court?
Yeah.
It wouldn't be pressured by the whims of Donald Trump alone.
Yeah.
They're trying to force him to resign with threat of a prosecution.
If there's got like four months left in his term, which is like, who fuck care?
But like, and also, if you're wondering where the stakes are there,
Erdogan, the current dictator of Turkey, took over their federal bank as part of his power grabs.
And their national bank, and their inflation rates currently,
86%. There's a reason you don't want
direct. See, Trump does this thing where
he takes something like the Federal Reserve, which usually
I would love to shit all over, and
then assaults it in a way that makes
me defend the status quo.
Because it's better than the other way.
It's like, I'm not in favor of some
undemocratically elected money wizard
deciding what price we can all buy houses
at. Right.
Yeah, but this
is also, you know,
bullshit and is worse.
Yeah.
And that
combined with the fact
that apparently
Trump's farts
are so distressing
to people around
and they've become
a serious sign
of his physical
decline.
So this could really
be one of those
weeks where decades
fucking happen,
it feels like.
Anyway,
from some fun
before we get to
Minnesota.
Because what's going
to Minnesota
is all,
as we talked
about on,
for the context
to you guys
just listen to
to this show
and don't have
the Patreon.
We talked about
the shooting and
stuff on Friday.
So if it
sounds like
like we've already
discussed this
before,
it's because
we have.
apologize. We're trying to talk about this in a way that makes sense in the present because it
will all change four times about time you guys hear this. This is the weirdest part of trying
to do anything like this right now. So because all this is about fraud related to Somali
immigrants in doing welfare fraud in Minnesota, not really, but whatever. We've been over all that.
But so I want to talk about another welfare scandal. Let's happen in Minnesota, sorry, Mississippi.
Remember the Brett Farve?
I was about to say another one.
I mean, I mean, it's Mississippi.
I guess it's not that surprising.
But yeah, Brett Farr famously had a big welfare scandal in his home state of Mississippi a few years ago.
Basically, I guess the state official to give the college's daughter goes to a bunch of money to build a volleyball court with welfare money, which seems on the up and up.
But there are other offshoots to that.
And there's like a trial, there's trials going to related to it.
And they're absolutely fucking crazy.
I want to read to you in the story from Mississippi,
Tray.
John Davis, the former head of Mississippi's welfare agency,
once confessed that he, quote,
tried to buy all your love, end quote,
to a pro wrestler whose companies he sent millions of welfare funds to
text messages revealed in court Friday show.
Davis, who struck a plea deal in 2022,
was testifying in a trial of Ted DiBiase Jr.,
who is the son of the million-dollar man,
who we all grew up watching the wrestling.
Of course, yes.
The million-dollar man is.
is corrupt.
In this country, that's crazy.
It doesn't make any sense.
And he's got like Nepo baby fail sons who are also corrupt,
trying to get it on the grift and everything.
Sounds like he's just been keeping the character,
keeping K-Fave going for, you know,
the intervening 30-something years to me.
This is some classic million-dollar man type stuff right here
defrauding the government with their help and shit.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
So apparently what Davis did was funded $700,000 to a,
a Christian charity called Heart of David Ministries
that is controlled by DeBiase.
And in a federal court on Friday,
I'll just read through these text messages,
a prosecutor asked Davis whether he had a romantic relationship
with Brett DeBiase, the brother of Ted.
Mr. Davis, were you in love with Brett DeBiase?
And he said, I had no sexual desire towards Brett,
Davis interjected,
nor did he have any sexual relations that were consummated,
what the former Mississippi Department of Human Services Director did have was love, he said,
a love he found difficult to characterize.
Like a brother, he's opposed, but more like a son.
But Davis had no sons, he admitted, so the shape of the love was indistinct, impossible to define.
So the fact, the type of love they had for each other kept coming up,
because he's funding all this money for the debiases for apparently nothing.
And his only excuses, he loved them.
And they're like, okay, but if you weren't fucking them and you're not related to them,
Can you please?
So here,
pure conjecture letting, letting my butt talk for a minute.
A couple of different things come to my mind and maybe a combination of the two.
One is like,
this guy is some official in Mississippi's government.
He's probably an older dude.
I would have,
or like middle-aged or something or whatever.
He could be like a deeply closeted Mississippi guy
who is in romantic love with this pro wrestler's son,
but can't like even accept that himself.
and so it's manifesting in this like crazy
where he's like, no, we're just like, it's a bromance or whatever, you know,
but he's giving him all this money and everything to like curry his favor.
But also, I'm only, I'm very adjacent to it,
but I am adjacent to sort of the world of wrestling fandom and everything.
And I know that there's some of the biggest lunatics on planet Earth, right?
And obsessive crazy people in the world of wrestling fans
who will pay, if they had the money, will pay however much just to get.
Ted DiBiC or his cousin or whatever to come hang out at a barbecue at your house or something
because like wrestlers will do that.
But anyway, maybe this guy's like a combination of those two things and it's turned into
this whole weird, you know, sort of situation he's got going on here.
And the DBIC sons, it's just free welfare money.
You know, obviously you're going to take that if you're a fake Christian piece of shit.
I don't know.
I'm speculating here, Mark.
you were talking before about you don't like
when people build a whole thing in their head
a whole reality that's based on nothing
but you know it's fun to do sometimes
I'm not saying it's true I'm just guessing
you're just world building
I would say that
if this guy I would not describe him as closeted
because let me read this
because if you're closeted you would not be this open
about your love for another man that would make any sort of sense
let me read so quote
I love you so multiple O's here
I love you so freaking much I want to be
selfish and make you stay right here with me, Davis wrote to Brett DeBiase in one text
message.
So this is the other romantic love or the kind of love you have for like your dog.
Right.
It's getting tougher that ride back.
This is a typo here, but like I think it's a missing word too.
It's getting tougher to ride back.
I realize how lonely I am.
He wrote in January of 2019.
In exchange Ted DiBiasey Jr.
Penn Pains of Loyal to the Bordered on Matrimonial.
This is Ted writing back.
Like, it's whatever this is going on.
It's mutual. Okay.
That's a twist for me.
I wouldn't expect in that part.
I want to be a conduit for you to the world because God is going to bless generations to come through your life, he wrote to Davis and Brett.
A three-way text message.
That legacy, your legacy, has already been set in motion.
I declare to you both that I am partnering with you two only in things we've discussed.
On my son and daughter, he's swearing here, on my son and daughter, I will declare that I have zero endeavors that I will commit to pursue, entertain, or even waste,
five damn minutes of my time indulging with anyone else.
Even if the president, Pope, or Billy Graham himself asked me to consider.
No, no, no is my answer.
Bro, so can you pass CTE down to your children?
I didn't think it worked like that.
Like, fucking Ted DiBiase got his head smushed in so much.
Like, his fucking sons are fucked up from it.
But that's, like, crazy shit.
But it's like religious fanatics who are all.
So charlatans and hypocrites and stuff, I feel like they, they talk in that kind of like crazy, aggrandizing way about everything and the mission and what they're doing and the importance of it all and stuff.
But it is so, you know, insane and off putting to other people.
But that's just crazy.
I'm a person who does say I love you to my friends.
Yeah.
So, like, it's not abnormal to me.
Yeah, but not like that.
Not like.
No, no.
Like, I want to keep you all to myself, Mark.
I can't even
The pangs of loneliness
Grow ever stronger
As I inch closer
You know
Further away from you
As I head back to Burbank
From the bar we were at tonight Mark
Like if I sent you that text message
You'd be like
Yeah
I mean that might be kind of funny actually
Because you would
You know that I was doing a bit
But these guys are not
You know
Anyway
I think what we've determined
What we stumbled upon
Is the cure of the male loneliness
Epidemic
Is doing welfare fraud
With your boys
So
David Gilles
finish up here.
Davis fantasized
oddly about a
joint purchase of land
that would never
materialize.
A place he called
the Davyasi
farm,
a term Dibeasi
Jr.
coined as many
excitable messages
back to Davis.
He liked to
Wordsmith,
and Davyasi
was just a derivative
of my name
and his name
together,
Davis said.
Like Benefer?
They had their own
benefice.
That's also
stupid.
Anyway,
these guys are going
to probably get away
mostly
was stealing a bunch
of money
with a slap on the rest.
and we got to, you know, carpet bomb Minnesota
because Somali's overcharge for daycare services.
Yes.
Speaking of which, let's get into it.
The rest of the show,
producer Matt is back there doing this thing.
We're getting right into it this time,
kicking it off with the way we always do with the Daily Dumbass, of course.
So Matt, have that graphic, please.
Tonight's D.D. ICE for not issuing their agents' tailbones made out of adamantium.
I see.
so
all right
so something happens to make
the ice agent
charges these people
who are making fun of him
right
it's whatever
whatever he's responding to
is urgent enough
that he has to respond
violently
yeah
and then when he slips
and falls
and bust his ass
that reason is apparently
gone away
and now he runs away
shame
the longer version
the video
he can see him
get in his car
and drive
he literally
leaves the street
so
yeah
well there ain't
coming back
from something like that
Mark you know
I mean
I know
I know but
whatever force
whatever force
he was about
used seems to be definitely unwarranted
if he just, right.
So, lots going on.
They surged another thousand
over the weekend
Border Patrol agents in the Minnesota
in Minneapolis to free up
Homeland Security investigators to go
find barely existing welfare fraud.
And they,
the amount of horrifying shit I've seen
in the past, you know, a couple days
is only eclipsed by also the number of ice agents
that have seen slip on the ice and fall down,
which is they work, they're wearing tennis use trade.
I see multiple reports these dumb fucks
and wear his tennis shoes
in the Minnesota winner.
One guy slipped and his rifle went off.
Yeah.
He's lucky to be alive.
Right.
Yeah, it's serious comedy of error shit.
They got going on up there.
But are they like,
but ice now,
they come from everywhere, right?
Because in my head,
it's not like, these are not like,
you know, Texas.
I mean, they could be, I guess.
But you know, border patrol.
Yeah, right.
You know, like from,
it's, because it's funny to imagine
like, Texas border
guys getting like deployed to Minneapolis basically and then just slipping and sliding all over the place up there it's
yeah you and you and I are football fans who know how warm weather teams fare and in the playoffs yeah so uh not usually not good so
the uh put people like Bortac the border border border patrol's tactical team is running muck in fucking
in in Minneapolis and you could ask yourself the question why border patrol has a tactical team
and you start to get some
driving some uncomfortable truce
about what our government
actually fucking spends money on
because I cannot in my mind
imagine a scenario
in which border patrol
needs its own tactical team
I don't think that there's any
even like
law enforcement adjacent
like apparatus in this country
that you could find
that isn't super like
militarized and swat it out
to the extent that they can get the resources
to equip themselves as such
you know what I mean
it almost felt like it's like a cultural thing
they all got to have the kit and the gear.
They all got to be tactical because tactical's fucking cool, Mark.
So, you know.
Yeah.
When I work for the, when I work for the newspaper, the city police department I cover was
was finding the money to purchase all the patrol officers, AR-15s, to keep in their trunk.
And that's when the AR-15 went national as a police weapon for like regular patrol officers.
And the, what cops were telling themselves, this was 20 years ago, but like, fairly fresh in their memory was the North Hollywood Bank shootout.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
Where there's a movie made about it, I think, but like these two guys robbed a bank in
North Hollywood, the Bank of America, and were wearing full-body body armor, and the cops
couldn't take them down with the weapons they had.
So all these guys in their head think they're going to get in North Hollywood Bank
Bank of America shootout 24-7.
That's why they have to have all these weapons.
Anyway, people of Minnesota seem to be keenly aware of who the bad guy is actually is in
this scenario.
They've been putting up basically one in posters for Nick Shirley, the YouTube influencer
who started all this by covering all the fake daycare storyfront.
I mean, the daycare story for us,
he'd think we're like no-show businesses
or something, if you got the sandwich, Matt.
But the Washington Post, sorry,
the Wall Street Journal had a story this morning.
See, is that Nick Shirley brought ice to Minnesota.
He helped kill Renee Good.
Do not let him in your business.
So go love mine in a sandwich
in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Nick.
So the Wall Street Journal had this article this morning.
Washington's new lobbyists,
paying on on influencers with few rules,
talking about how people are paying influencers
to influence the Trump White House
because the posting on Twitter
is the main way to get Trump administration's attention.
The lead example in here was a guy that used to work
for the Trump campaign.
It was paid $300,000 by the legal marijuana industry
to tweet that Trump said reschedule it
because kids would be a big fan of that
and then Trump immediately rescheduled a marijuana
not to be a class one truck.
So, bear in this article,
Qatar is paying people a bunch of money.
American right-wing influences a bunch of money.
And also here's, I want to note here
in this article mentions that Israel made plans
over the past year to spend $900,000
on an influencer campaign with the U.S. audience.
Prime Minister Benjamin Yanjahou
met with conservative social media stars
on at least two of his visits.
Bro, is there not some kind of goddamn,
like, left-wing authoritarian regime
that wants to throw a bunch of money and silver?
Where's China at?
When China can't pay me fucking $500,000 a goddamn month
to say a bunch of commie shit or something,
it's always these fucking, guys,
there's Russia just,
buying them Bugatti's monthly just to fucking get on there and talk shit about trans people or whatever.
The fuck, it's insane.
Well, part of this of having us, well, you think about how differently the two groups of people see the world.
Like, I would not trust anyone.
I would forgive me, Tray, but I wouldn't trust you if I.
No, no, you're right.
It doesn't work in the other way, in the other direction as well.
That's definitely true.
Right.
But it doesn't seem to matter in this world.
I'm not doing cork board and string here, but I just want to point out the right-wing influence.
are currently on the ground in Minnesota, begging their government to harass Muslims,
all of them also were to pay junk into Israel late last year.
Okay?
So keep that in your mind.
We'll talk about this next thing.
This is a tweet from Benny Johnson.
He posted this video.
This is reported to be from Minneapolis this weekend of a bunch of protesters in the streets.
Benny says, this is the current scene in Minneapolis.
Pray for our law enforcement.
There is insane funding behind this.
Yeah, so apparently, I guess all these protesters who are mad about ice,
their ice is going door to door today with assault rifles in suburban communities in Minneapolis.
Do you think they need to be paid to be pissed off about this?
And also a point that Benny Johnson himself last year was discovered to have been,
to have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Russian government
funneled through a Canadian production firm, production company.
There's no evidence he knew the money was coming from Russia,
but the fucking gall this guy has to say the protesters are.
paid for their opinions.
This paid protester thing
is probably going to be the death of me.
I want to show you this tweet
from referencing a Fox News
story. I'll read to you from it.
Stop the madness.
What we were seeing across the country as organized
gangs of wine moms using Antifa
tactics to harass and impede ICE agents
is not civil disobedience.
It isn't even protest. It's just
crime.
Organized gangs of wine moms
are now harassing.
We're going to be seeing diagrams
to the CIA of like
Wine Mom tunnels under hospitals by this time next week.
I'll tell you what worries me about it.
I'm now worried that they're going to start showing up at my
shows because if you want to find
a conglomeration of wine moms
in any given city,
check and see if I'm coming on tour there
because there'll be a lot of them
in one room together and I don't want to attract
ICE's attention. I don't know
ICE has jurisdiction over the wine moms yet, but they, you know, they'll just take it,
I imagine.
But yeah, this is crazy.
But to all the fans out there that fit that category listening, like, you guys should feel
pretty gangster right now, in my opinion.
Like, look, look at this.
Public enemy number one for the regime.
You guys are doing it.
Getting on their shit list means you're doing something right.
You're insurgency.
You're the vanguard, the resistance.
The outside agitators thing is a paid protesters thing is so funny because every regime does
it when there's a protest.
like right the massive protests in iran the last week or so um and the the iranid
government is basically accused that all being orchestrated by masad and the in the CIA um which is
funny on a multiple levels because our Iran's currently at the people are protesting as the shitty
economy as like 80 some percent inflation rate or something uh partially to contribute to by sanctions
but also government corruption and and uh and you know mishandling of
shit. But
what's also funny about it is
it's not really a conspiracy theory
because Mossad on its farcey language
social media accounts is saying
we are out there protesting with you.
And that's credible because the alpha agents
all over the Iranian government and the Iranian society.
They pulled off that attack last week last year
that was basically with like an inside info of people
stationed there. So like
with I don't know
whether Mossad is lying or not
but it's not exactly conspiracy.
the way that you it's more credible that there's the Iranian government is saying there is paid
protesters but it is that the American government is saying and and while we're saying that our
protesters are paid and we got to violently stomp down on our protests we're threatening to bomb
Iran and to help because they're stomping down on their protests so is shooting your own citizens
who are protesting good or bad tray well it depends on the citizens I think you know and what
they're protesting against, I guess.
Yeah.
So I'll go to hear from a story about
like Trump has briefed on options for striking Iran as
protests continue.
Um, quote,
Trump said,
Iran is looking at freedom,
all caps,
perhaps like never before.
Okay.
So,
but U.S.
officials said they had to be careful that any military strikes did not
have the opposite effect,
galvanizing the Iranian republic to support the government,
which is obviously what would have.
Yeah.
I know.
I was just about to say it's like,
it's so funny that they're,
they just had to want to like support.
these protesters, whatever,
the only way we know how,
which is, you know,
raining fire from the sky
on top of cities and shit,
just, like,
accidentally blow up their fucking neighborhoods
or whatever the fuck
and freak everybody out
and, like,
just had the exact opposite
intended effect would be,
um,
very typical,
very fitting.
Yeah.
So I can't figure out,
like,
um,
did,
certainly the CIA is aware,
that the protest movement
being affiliated,
but the United States government and the CIA
would be bad for the protest movement.
And how do they get that through to Trump
that not everybody's a fan of him?
I don't know, good luck, I guess.
Anyway, yeah, American politics,
we overthrow the government
if inflation is his 3%.
But yeah, I'm in quotes, sorry,
I misstated the numbers.
Iran inflation rates right now
more than 50% across the board,
70% on the food.
I'm on the highest in the world.
And I wanted to play this clip here
if you got this chant
from one of the Iranian protest, Matt.
All right, you can cut it.
What they're chanting there,
according to the translation I read is their kid in Canada, our kid in prison.
The children of the country's elites live overseas in Western decadence.
Right.
Which is another example to me of Instagram radicalizing people, which is what we're living
through also.
We just don't have the vocabulary to describe it.
But yeah, when you're, I might have mentioned that had this since this take before,
but when you're taking shit on your 15 minute break at your 10 hour a day job and you open up
Instagram and see people
laying on a boat in Dubai.
It's mildly infuriating.
Going back to Minnesota for a second,
the go-fund me for Jonathan Ross,
the ice shooter.
Yeah.
The language in the go-fund me
would not induce me to
fucking contribute.
Quote, this is my guy named Clyde Emmons.
The stupid cunts want to make a go-fund me
for the stupod bitch.
She misspelled stupid.
They got what she deserved.
I made one for the officer that did his job.
Let's get this man some money.
He doesn't need, he doesn't have,
Derek, pretend like he needs a legal defense,
but he hasn't even been fucking arrested yet.
He won't need a legal defense for years at least.
Bill Ackman promoted this and donated $10,000.
It's made like a closer to its $160,000 goal yet.
Bill Ackman, I'm just only mentioning he's Jewish
because the text itself and the go fund me
and calls Mayor Frey a traitor.
Mayor of phrase, he's a phrase the mayor of Minneapolis.
And quote, Mayor McFray, parentheses, who is Jewish in parentheses, which should have been a
giveaway.
But yeah, Clyde is a literal Nazi.
Here's another thing you posted on social media that meme where paper beats rock, where it's a
fascist sig high over a socialist rising fist.
So yeah, everything going normally.
So I mentioned ice going door to door.
I watched, you know, them invade a house.
also, you know, where there were kids
carrying assault rifles and pointed them.
They tased a woman who tried to film them while they're
in her house without a warrant for no reason.
But I'm even sure if there's an immigrant even there.
Lots of horrors going on.
There was a viral video that I assumed
I didn't want to give credibility to it.
I thought I was watching a video of another ice officer
slipping on the fucking ground
and busting ass, which he did.
Then he slips on the ground and falls
while a detainee
in handcuffs goes into a port potty.
Then the agent follows
the detainee into the port party and shuts the door behind them.
Right.
By head, I was like, well, ICE is going to deny this because the optics of it look
fucking horrific.
There's no real reason to do that.
I was waiting for some sort of denial or some sort of explanation because I don't
want to think that's happening that open.
And then Trisha, what's her name, McLaughlin comes out.
ICE's designated a liar and goes, her defense of it was like, she insists.
that it was a man and not a woman
being escorted to the porta and saying there's nothing
to see here. The issue is not
whether it was a woman that was sexually hurt,
assaulted versus a man. It's not okay.
It's not okay for a man to be asked to trade a
blow job for his freedom either. I don't,
I do not, this
does not hold water or nothing. I'm just
saying that I, isn't
what, isn't
the, the argument
she's trying to make or the claim she's making to refute
this by saying that's a man?
Isn't she saying like,
the officer won't allow the man
to be alone by himself
in case of whatever.
He's got a fucking some kind of
something up his ass or whatever.
But basically like it's observation.
Meaning like that's not a woman, it's a man
and it's policy to not let a detainee out of your sight
even for using the bathroom,
which I don't believe
any of that. I'm just saying, isn't that what
that she's trying to say?
Like he's just, you know,
surveilling him or whatever
won't let him out of his
type thing
sure
right but like
if a band just needs to pee
and you're outdoors
there's the solutions
here that don't involve you
I've never seen a porta potty
with room from one of the two people
I know
where are you gonna go
where's he gonna go
what's he gonna do from a porta potty
like if it was like a hotel bathroom
or something I could get the idea
it's like no they have to leave the door open
whatever we've all seen those movies
you know
fucking going there
and the curtains just to blow
But like a porta potty though, I mean, what could they possibly achieve even if that is what you were saying you were trying to do?
So it doesn't seem to make any kind of fucking sense.
Anyway, I saw other reporting that parents were discussing figuring out how legally if they can ride school buses with their kids because ICE stopped a special ed school bus this morning.
Now, I don't know what kind of identification, a mentally handicapped child can be expected.
to produce that shows their U.S. citizen on their way to school, but what the fuck ever.
It seems like hell on earth on Minnesota right now.
Solidarity and prayers to the people.
So I wanted to quote here from Rob Hirschfield, who's the bishop of the Episcopal
Diocese of New Hampshire, a candlelight visual that was held in New Hampshire, Concord,
New Hampshire, Friday night for Renee Good.
Quote, I have asked the clergy of the dioces to make sure their affairs are in order
and they have written their wills.
It's not the time for statements.
It's time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable.
so is the good sign when priests are making their wills ready tray yeah well they're
you know putting their money where their mouth is or their uh you know bodies their lives and
everything like somebody's willing to do it i mean don't i don't know i shouldn't say that
it's not like i'm out there doing it i appreciate the ones actually on the front lines but uh we
got a honorable mention for daily dumbass but first check this
out.
All right, skewers, here's what we got for you.
First ever sponsors.
Sponsors for this show.

And with that said, here's our first round of weekly skews sponsors.
This episode is sponsored by Better Help.
New Year don't have to mean New Year.
It don't have to be a whole new you.
Maybe you like most of you.
You don't need a whole brand new you.
You can just have a less burdened you, a more, you know, free and open you just to generally
sort of better you, but it don't have to be brand new, right?
You don't have to be a complete reinvention.
You're like, I'm doing okay.
It could just shape up in a couple of places maybe.
Well, therapy can help you identify those places, the specific things that are weighing you down
or feel like you're holding you back.
Things you might not be able to see yourself, you know, therapy can offer an unbiased
perspective and it can sort of open your eyes to better understanding your own, you know,
relationships, your motivations, the emotions that we all feel, right? Therapy, a big advocate for
therapy. I actually have a bachelor's degree in psychology. That does not qualify me at all to
really, you know, obviously I can't give therapy. You need a lot more training than that, but it should
indicate that even when I was a much younger man, I was always on board with the idea of therapy.
Our brains is super important. Your mental state is everything, I think we find, and it just helps
just having someone to talk to.
You know, for me, I have a lot of imposter syndrome from being honest.
I ain't going to turn this into a therapy session, but, you know,
I have a lot of self-doubt questioning.
Is this all going to go away tomorrow?
Do people really like me?
That type of thing.
It's not healthy.
But a therapist with better help can help you navigate those types of choppy waters,
and it certainly worked for me.
I'm a big talker.
I don't know if you've noticed that about myself,
but it's the healthiest iteration of me rambling on.

Listen, y'all, let's face it, I ain't getting no younger.
You ain't neither.
One of the biggest changes I've noticed.
I don't bounce back the next day after a night of drinking like I used to.
Don't drink like I used to.
Not that I need to.
That would be truly wild.
You know, if you get older, you need to slow down a little bit.
But even when you do, you still can't bounce back.
You know, we all want to have a good time,
special occasions and whatnot, have a great night out and still be able to have a great next day.
I thought that that was not in the cards, not on the table after a certain age.
I thought that until I found Zbiotics pre-alcohol this week's sponsor.
That's right.
I gave pre-alcohol a try when I was on the road last week before shows.
And sometimes a little jet lagged or whatever else it makes the next day worse.
By the way, I don't get hammered at shows.
Hang out with comics after and stuff.
And then, you know, things happen, whatever.
nothing. We just sit around to argue about Star Wars and stuff. It's pretty dorky. But while drinking and then I
next day feel terrible. But this time I had my Zbiotics before I got started. Did two shows,
meat and greets hung out into the wee hours with the comics, had a great time.
I woke up the next day and felt like a 25-year-old man again. Top of my game. I couldn't believe
how much better I felt than I usually do, which for me, is truly saying something. All right.
Because Z-biotics, pre-alcohol, probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.
It was invented by Ph.D. scientists who tackle rough mornings after drinking.
Here's how it works.
When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.
It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration.
It's actually to blame for rough days after drinking.
Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.
Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, then drink responsibly,
and you will feel your best tomorrow.

People who won't tone down their rhetoric
while objecting to an ice agent
killing a woman that he called a quote
fucking bitch.
This is Tom Holman, the man himself,
cry bullying to Dr. Phil.
Tone down the rhetoric.
In my career, our buried border two agents
that buried ice agents
and saddest thing I've ever had to be
a stand a forward flag to an awful child.
I don't want to see anybody die.
Okay.
So the Death of America has we were
Dr. Phil involvement than I anticipated.
I know.
Tell me about it.
Personally, I'd also
like to live in a more civil society.
I absolutely would, but also the
president of the United States called half of America
unpatriotic scumbags and his Merry Christmas
message. Right.
So, why are we pretending?
No, I know.
No, they always, right.
It's like they, they put it out a million
times, I've said it a million times or whatever, but it's like
they do all this insane,
do and support all this insane, authoritarian,
and overtly fascistic stuff.
And then when we're like, why are you guys being fascist?
They're like, oh, wow, really?
You know, this is the problem right here.
You can't just call people fascists.
You wonder why everybody gets so upset.
You know, it's like, it's maddening.
We're just all being gaslit 24-7 and everything.
But, yeah, it's like, because that, yeah,
essentially, you know, that it's the rhetoric's fault.
It's her fault, you know, for believing the rhetoric about ICE being bad.
And it's anybody but, you know, the masked thugs fault.
Tell it.
The violence keeps happening.
Talk about the gasoline.
I thought it was pretty funny.
And we talked before a bunch before about how, like, the Wright loves to co-op left-wing
language about, like, you know, ableism or whatever, sexism.
There's a funny clip of an ICE agent.
And he actually had raised a good point, but he walked back to a car that was following him.
And he goes, do you realize how racist you're being right now?
And they're like, what?
He's like, they're blowing their whistle to let people know what ICE's presence.
But he's like, you're just like, those people,
are just brown labors.
You're the one assuming they're illegal, not me.
I was like,
you honestly raises a pretty good point,
but also the whistle
they keep blowing the fucking whistle.
That is a very white liberal thing to do.
I feel like I run up to like just a brown dude.
Be like, get out of here.
They're coming or whatever.
And then you guys like,
what are you talking about?
Yeah.
My name's James.
I'm from fucking,
you know, Ventura or whatever.
Yeah.
Not that it matters.
It doesn't matter.
if you're a U.S. citizen.
They've, like, they,
they, they tackled a 17-year-old
working at Walmart,
and then dragged him into a van.
He was working at Target.
And then when they realized he was a U.S. citizen,
they dropped him off at a Walmart.
Because he forgot where he worked.
Yeah.
So, just how dangerous is it to work for ICE?
I wanted to figure it out.
I'm glad somebody wrote up about it.
Because his whole third crying thing about,
I've had to hand a folded flag
to the children or wives of slain ICE agents
is just fucking fraudulent.
At least how you would think about it.
according to ICE's own data, they have like a wall of, like a wall of honor where they put up all the people have died in, you know, in service, which, you know, according to ICE's own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency's history.
The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
The second leading cause of death is cancer linked to 9-11.
No slipping falls yet, though?
They're going to get, those are going to be up by the end of the week.
Get them some snowshoes, some fucking cleats.
Doug.
The pandemic in September 11th cancers account for 75% of the deaths in ISIS history.
The most recent ICE officer death attributed to something other than cancer or COVID-19 occurred in 2021.
But that incident did not evolve an immigrant either.
It occurred when a special agent died after a service weapon was accidentally discharged in a parking lot.
He shot himself in the leg and bled out.
But how else was he supposed to learn cowboy gun tricks twirling his pistol around, right?
Another death happened when a special agent was hit by a drunk driver while getting a taxi in Miami.
I guess they're counting that as I.
Maybe he was on duty.
And another resulted from a special agent contracting dengue fever while on assignment in Indonesia.
Do you know how undeadly dingay fever is, direct?
No, I don't know anything about it.
I've heard of it.
I don't know where it ranks amongst favors, but you get it on a, by getting bitten by mosquito,
has a mortality rate about 1%, which is completely eliminated.
say it with me now by a fucking vaccine that he probably chose not to get.
Well, COVID being number one also makes sense.
You know, I'm sure there's a big overlap between ICE agents and people that don't believe COVID was a real thing,
despite the fact that so many of their brothers in arms cough to death as a result of it or whatever.
And like usually to travel to a place like Indonesia, you have to get vaccines.
So they get a special exemption if they're taking fucking, if they have to go for work to take a like a detainee?
I don't know.
So the only case listed by the agency of an ICE official dying while attempting to apprehend an undocumented immigrant happened when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit in 2016.
I swear to God, I almost said that as a joke earlier.
I was in a way, you know, imply because they don't look like they're in that good of shape.
I can see some of them keeling over while chasing these guys down.
I was going to jokingly say that.
So I'm not surprised it actually happened.
But that means that like, not that this is surprising.
But he's all teary-eyed and stuff talking to Dr. Phil.
and he's going to this whole thing about, you know,
the hardest thing I ever have to do
is hand a folded flag to a,
but like, based on everything you just said,
he's not that he's never had that experience,
but he's never had to do that for an immigrant-related,
like he, even the times he's had to do that in his head,
he knows that he did that.
Like, he's thinking about, I'll never forget,
and I'm sure it is still sad, a guy died,
but you know that he died of pancreatic cancer, right?
And you also know that you're implying
that, you know, he was killed in the course of,
heroic action, you know, chasing down these dastardly immigrant drug dealers and stuff like that.
But as soon as I, even you were playing that clip, I was like, I was immediately skeptical because I was
like, dude, if that had happened even once in a high profile way, but especially commonly,
the way he's implying, like, we would all be forced to know their names.
They'd be making laws named after the guys who were, like, they'd never shut the fuck up
about it.
So, yeah, I'm not surprised.
There'd be three times the amount of AI-generated songs as Charlie Kirk got.
Right.
They would horse vessel max him.
Anyway, yeah, the most recent case in ICE records in which an immigration agent was killed
during an enforcement operation appears to have taken place in 1970.
I did a quick Google search and found at least three mall security guards who have died
in the line of duty being shot since 2021.
So Tom Holman would be way busier if he was handing forward to American
flags the families of fallen mall security guards. Paul Blart. Yes. Yes. Yes.
So what's about ice recruiting for a second here? We've talked about the lowered standards and
I'm only getting 47 days of training and they don't have to do past physical fitness tests
anymore because none of them can do setups or run a mile and a half. They also can't read
or write to that article we read together late last year. So home insecurity has been doing
vaguely white supremacist sort of stuff for a while and they've gone explicit with it and
in reaction to this.
They posted a recruitment ad,
with a website join.e.com on their social medias
with the slogan,
We'll have our home again.
We'll have our home again is a popular ballot on YouTube
associated with the Manor Bund,
which is a white separatist, ethno-nationalist men's club.
It's sort of like a Nazi big brothers,
big sisters program.
It's named for the Manorbanes,
In German, in German means alliance of men.
It's a reference to a theoretical,
proto-Indo-European Brotherhood of Warriors,
sort of myth-mythological group that existed way back in old times,
in which young, unmarried young males
would serve for several years as a rite of passage into manhood.
The Manor Bond wore like animal skins,
and the legends where they can shape-shift into wolves.
Of course. That all checks out.
It's always like some beast-master shit with these fucking guys.
Like, they're always going to be like, you know,
talk about themselves like they're wolfmen who wear loincloths in the fucking woods and fucking, you know,
kill things and eat it with their,
eat it raw in the field for dinner every night and that type of shit that they're always into.
It's always fucking caveman warrior stuff with these motherfuckers.
And then they go,
you know,
go home and watch fucking Landman Marathon while eating a bucket of KFC chicken and shit.
But anyway,
which I like those things.
I'm just saying.
by the way truly deranged plotline I was texting you guys about the latest landman involving like a non-binary roommate for the college daughter it's just like it's a
anyway fuck it so back to the manor bun for a second they wear the animal schemes to shape shift into woods
mythologically but when they fought they wore they fought naked where it only belts so you can see why they hit for this group of guys
remember the kurgan from highlander the clancy brown's character yeah the kirkin was a was a member it was alluding to the manor manor manor bunch that's where
that was his background when he was, you know, that immortal was more.
So we'll have her home again also appears as the first line
in a lot of mass shooter manifestos.
The band that sings the song, it's like a folk ballad, by the way.
It doesn't sound like what you'd think of, like, as,
usually equate Nazi music with like death metal.
This sounds more like, you know, the Nazi answer to,
what can't think of the guy with this language?
Woody Guthrie?
Woody Guthrie.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a funny thing to even exist Nazi Woody Guthrie.
Nazi Woody Guthrie.
The Nazi Woody Guthrie is called themselves the pine tree riots,
which is a reference to 1772, some guys in New Hampshire almost be the colonial sheriff to death
as a protest that were not able to cut down pine trees.
And they're the reason that a pine tree appears on the appeal to heaven flag that was flying in front of the Supreme Court Justice's
I was waiting back when that was a scandal.
So I lay all that out for you guys to ask this question.
Who the fuck knows all this shit?
And how do they get a job bringing social media for DHS?
They, white people that get into how awesome white people are,
like, it always goes deep like this because they need as much like,
again, lore-based justification and everything that they could find.
So they get, like, super nerdy about, you know,
the supremacy of white people in their mind.
This is like,
but like this is like,
this is the amount of lorieth and know to all this shit.
This is like a,
like a,
like a Star Wars nerd trying to tell you
like the whole life backstory for Babu Frank.
Like who the fuck cares, man?
I know.
Well, it's also like,
as I sort of alluded to a minute ago,
I think because so many of them
that end up getting into this
are like slack-jawed losers, right?
Who are fucking doy and unimpressive and shit.
It, all this like appeals to them for like obvious reasons, but that's why they get so into it and, and, uh, you know, dig so deep and stuff is because they always want to hear more and more about how really at heart, you know, they're the wolf supreme or whatever.
Where, you know, they can't keep a job as a fucking mall cop and whatnot.
I've been divorced three times.
Fucking have high cholesterol.
I'm not, uh, I'm not sure if anything through ever would really be a scandal anymore right now, but they think like, like,
The DHS openly posting Nazi shit on their socials.
Like, the mainstream media sentence seems to not notice it or not ask anyone about it.
Elon Musk is retweeting people who were saying,
or longing for the salad days of Rhodesia,
which, you know,
Joe Lonsdale, who's one of the founders of Palantir,
was posting pro-Rodizia memes the other day.
These are people openly allied with the administration.
It seems bad.
And a lot of people,
who are,
have a lot of power
in our society
are very committed
to just not
fucking noticing it
or just not
understanding it
and I,
for the life of me
I can't,
I can never really
wrap my mind around it.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Next up we got
for honorable mention
MAGA AI
officiados
for making a free
American green land
look more bleak
than we ever could have imagined.
Here we go.
I can't believe
they finally open the target here.
My new snow
mobile is parked right over there.
This place is amazing.
I can't believe.
Oh my God, dude.
I'm really upset by that.
I didn't know,
like I knew that,
obviously I know that those places,
the strip malls with all the stores and shit in them,
obviously they hit for people because people go there and shop all the time.
But I thought that,
I don't know,
I didn't know that they hit for people in like the abstract or,
you know what I mean,
that people like thought that was like the ideal.
You know,
it's like they like that they can go to a place where there's a target
and also a Starbucks without really thinking.
about like the, you know, the monotone
and blight of it all and everything and how
like depressing it is.
But the idea that they're like,
no, this is what's up.
Is, I'm a little bit
surprised and disappointed by that.
I'm embarrassed to say.
Bro, they say
we hate America.
Right.
And then they go saying,
they go and say that the best thing about America is you'll get a target.
In McDonald's in the same place.
I know. Right.
Uh-huh.
and maybe have Biedelow Ford a new snowmobile,
which Greenlanders have, they're not poor, guys.
They're better off than a lot of us in a lot of ways we'll get to.
Yes, but do they have Applebee's, Mark?
I think not.
And thus, they have not yet truly lived, obviously.
That's why that's American exceptionalism,
half-priced apps after seven.
Anyway, it's usually like lefty types who will say that Americans have no culture,
which isn't really true.
We invented rap music, bluegrass, standard comedy.
Comedy.
jazz. Yeah. Yeah. So we have stuff we'd be proud of. I would never in a billion
years say the proudest thing I am of America is a fucking target. Um, no. So there's reporting
yesterday. This is from the Daily Mail to have a little bit of a grain of salt. What they don't
tend not to do is fabricate stuff. They definitely don't fabricate stuff to make Trump look bad
because they're, you know, owned by Rupert Murdoch. So he's apparently ordered special
force commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland, but as being resisted by senior
military figures, they reported.
Sources say that the policy hawks
around the U.S. president, led by political advisor
Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by
the success of the operation to capture
Nicholas Maduro.
They want to move quickly to seize the island
before Russia or China makes a move.
Russia or China is not making a fucking move.
I don't know where, like,
where, we shouldn't
take Greenland, but like, you wouldn't do it
with special forces.
And who told these guys, that's how you would do it?
I mean quote here, a lot of interesting stuff in this article, but British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance of the U.S. economy before the midterm elections later this year.
But it's weird to me that Trump gets fall in this trap of trying to distract people from an issue, but he's unpopular wrong by doing something he's also a popular role?
I know. That's what I was about to say. I was about to ask. I was like, but is that going to, I know that that was always a tactic for a very long time.
But like we talked about it like the last episode, I think. I feel like it don't, the rules.
are not the same anymore even on the American right
where it used to be just like any kind of conflict
we were involved in. The right went conservatives
were going to break out the flags and be like,
fuck yeah, hell yeah. But I feel
like there's a huge chunk of them that don't do that
anymore, so that's not even a
reliable strategy to just
start, you know, beating the war drums
whenever the power of the dollar is falling
or whatnot and you've got elections around the corner
but, you know, what the fuck do I know?
The other thing, and I know this has also been brought,
but like, oh, we need a plan
to, like, invade Greenland.
okay, if that happens, is that like,
like us starting a war with Denmark, you know?
Like, is that, will we be at war with Denmark all of a sudden if they actually do this?
Because I feel like people don't talk about it like that.
It's like, I don't know.
I don't know how you can't even possibly give the proper amount of like heft and weight
to the insanity of the things that we're constantly doing,
but I still feel like people don't do it enough.
Do you know what I mean?
like they just talk about the things like
it's just another thing that might happen and it's like
yeah but that would be fucking
supremely insane
you know like yeah
it would mean the end of NATO there's only
pretty much only one person in the world that definitely
once NATO fully destroyed and that's Vladimir Putin
of course yeah yeah so
so Denmark
I saw a conservative member of their parliament
yesterday put out a statement
is basically we will not
we will not see Greenland even under threat of the use of nuclear
weapons.
And he's like, I'm paraphrasing yours.
I don't know we're going to bring it up, but he was like, I know it's, this is not
us saying that we stand a chance against the United States.
This is me saying that some things are non-negotiable.
Right.
So, yeah, who said do you want to be on?
That guy who has principles or if you wonder about this polls, I said, this is unpopular,
pressuring Denmark to sell is in America has 52% opposed, only 16% for.
Well, why would anyone want, no disrespect.
like what why would your average American be like fuck yeah we need to take greenland unless
it's just they know that trump wants it and they're just you know part of the trump cult and just
do everything that he says but what's the rationale for like i think like a certain like look
i sort of get like i think we all as a people share the sense that the united states is sclerotic
and stuck right and uh like Barack Obama will be the for unless something changes will be the
first American president to not see a state added to the union in the entire course of his
lifetime unless we seize Greenland and make a state.
I would be all for expanding the United States.
If Greenland wanted to be a state, we could also just let Puerto Rico and American Samoa
into the end of the unit.
We have other options besides violently seizing territory.
But yeah, another reason, all the other stuff that you're seeing with threats against
Iran, all this stuff, keep in mind the stuff.
context. And I didn't realize this for the first time I read it, but it seems pretty clear
here why this is in the Daily Mail. The sources are coming from the UK government who
apparently been briefed on America's plans to take Greenland by their American counterparts and
are trying to get somebody to help them out. The diplomatic source said, quote, the generals
think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they're trying to deflect him with other
major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old.
They have tried to distract Trump by talking about less controversial measures such as
intercepting Russian ghost ships
where a clandestine network of hundreds
of vessels operated by Moscow to evade Western
sanctions or launching a strike on Iran.
Launching a strike on Iran.
That's funny. We have to
distract the president from doing
something truly like, listen, let's do something
a little more, you know, a little more standard,
a little more run in the mill. Like, like, we could bomb
Iran again. That's always a classic.
That always works. People love that.
Why about that, sir? Would that make you
feel better?
Yeah. They're basically trying to sell Trump in a more
manageable world war.
Yeah.
To manage a shoot a different stupid war, sir.
So this is pretty funny.
So there was a, like, last week,
United States seized an oil tanker that had been tried to go to Venezuela,
allegedly empty under an Iranian flag, and then got turned around, and the U.S.
Coast Guard followed it basically all the way to Greenland before the Navy was able to intercept
it and board it, and then, at which case, discovered it was a Russian ship.
Now, we've seized a bunch of different Russian tankers and, and, and, and, and, and, in
trade ships. And let me quote here, Russia has started preparations to seize an American oil ship
as retaliation, which is deeply funny because there are no American oil ships. One thing we're
very good at in this country is tax fraud and avoidance. So be an example what this looks out,
looks like. So Exxon owns cutouts in Liechtenstein that are majority shareholders of an LLC that
employs a subcontractor out of Japan that provides a Filipino crew to a Taiwanese built ship
owned by a Dutch cutout that flags the vessel in Aruba.
Good luck figuring out what ships to see,
motherfucker, because we don't think we'd better innovate anymore
is tax fraud, so there you go.
Also, what's funny about this is like,
our old shipments are definitely insured,
and we do not need them to keep the lights on.
So, like, who's going to end up losing their shirt
in this would be, I don't know, Lloyds of London
would probably have a bunch of money invested in it
from like a Russian oligarchs.
Look.
Oh, God.
So, Sweden's major, major paper, I'm going to have fun trying to say this.
Dagen's Nyeter.
Yeah.
Doggins Nyheter.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah.
Say that again one time for me, please.
Dagen's Nyitzer.
Yeah.
It means today's news, I gather.
It's suggesting that Nordics with Sweden in the lead revisit the thought of getting nuclear weapons.
I wonder what brought that up, you know?
What got that on the mind?
on the brain.
Sweden just joined NATO like two years ago
to a lot of fanfare.
And now they're discussing nuclear arm
meant to deter the biggest
and major NATO power, which is fucking us.
So when history tries to tell the story
of how like New York
ended up getting nuked by Denmark.
Fucking shit, dude.
So the threat of special operations
is this stick.
The carrot here has been floated
the White House is paying Greenlanders somewhere between $10,000 and $100,000 each to vote to join the United States.
Oh, are you kidding me? Like, they're really going to get on, but that, I'm not even saying
that Greenlanders need or want that or whatever, but regardless, that, you know, they're going to
give taxpayer dollars just free checks to foreigners, right? And like, your Aunt Tammy is going to be
all for it. Like, all of a sudden.
Like, she's going to love that plan.
It's fucking insane.
Like, we can't get health care of UBI or nothing like that,
total non-starter in this country,
but we'll give it to Greenlanders just so we can, like, you know,
run a sci-op to convince them to give us their country over,
which would benefit pretty much every single, you know,
walking around American in zero ways anyway.
Bro, when do they realize that Greenlanders mostly aren't white?
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying, yeah.
they're uh yeah what's the right term in in you it yeah yeah so forgive me if we're getting that
wrong but they're some variety of yeah or arctic native yeah because the waves of white people
that tried to populate it all ended up dying or fleeing yeah because it's a harsh place it's a harsh
place yeah yeah yeah well is it the whole population like 50 000 or 100000 or something like
60 000 i think yeah the entire capital city is 20 000 people which is like
Which is funny because one of the reasons they've been so annoyed with like, like, they basically don't talk to Western American media anymore because every single one has been interviewed multiple times about how they don't want to be America.
So it's very, that is very unpopular there.
I think only about 16% of Americans favor seizing Greenland and about 16% of Greenlanders favor becoming American.
So as you see, a mirror image there.
I don't know if they ticked $100,000, but I would recommend it against it because it's a bad deal for them because currently Greenlanders have.
free health care, free college,
52 weeks of paid parental leave,
and five weeks of paid vacation.
So if you have a baby,
you can spend the first year of its life at home
taking care of it, whether you're a man or a woman,
and then if you want to take another five weeks off
at the end of that year, you got it.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Also, this is a circle back to here
as we wrap up.
We got a lot of ship capturing mysteries
going on.
The American Navy apparently now
works for Delci Rodriguez, the
former vice president now
leader of
Venezuela that we installed.
At first it appeared against her will.
Now it feels great for her. She got
America that helped her turn an oil tanker
linked to one of her political rivals that left the country
without her authorization.
So the U.S. Navy is working as privateers
to help our pet dictators cement control
of authoritarian social
dictatorship. That
ostensibly everyone has supported Trump.
in terms of that America policy
wanted to overthrow.
Trump has been president for a year
and they're now pirates back in the Caribbean
trade and they are us.
Yeah.
Well, that, I don't know.
I don't like that.
You know, that makes it sound more fun than it is.
You know what I mean?
It's like people think of fucking,
like, you know,
the Assassin's Creed game and Disney rides
and Jack Sparrow and stuff like that
and think of Pirates of the Caribbean.
But instead, it's a bunch of these fucking
and like,
buzz-cutted chuds on boats,
you know,
taking orders
and fucking doing ice-type shit,
but on international waters
underneath the American flag,
so it's not a good look.
Yeah,
the real-life pirates ruled.
Watch black sails.
I know.
I'm what I'm saying.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
