And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's the thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.

What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

He lived to see the day where people were talking about how Hitler hit and praising Nazi Germany. He'd be fucking furious right now. You know what I mean? I mean, it's funny because a lot of them papals of that generation, The same is also probably too for just like anime and wea birds and stuff. You know what I mean? Like Japan also hits for people now, and that's cool because Japan does hit. But right, I have balls to stand on business with both, I think.

They're the liberal rednecks. They like cornbread, but sex they care way too much, but don't give a fun. They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset. They got three big old dicks that you can sun. This spring, get out there, enjoy the weather, and recapture the magic of riding a bike with electric e-bike, with an amazing variety of models built for riders of all abilities. It's never been easier to fall in love with riding again.

Go full throttle into spring with electric e-bikes, the number one selling e-bikes in the nation. Get your adventure started at electric e-bikes.com, and please mention that the well-read podcast, sent you in the post-checkout survey. That's L-E-C-R-I-C-E Bikes.com and tell them well-read sent you. How's it going, boys? You know, that sounds like a redneck bike company now that I think about it, which really

is for me. That's how my granny said it. I pay my electric bill, my electric blanket. Yeah. You know. Yeah, you're right. That is true. That is the redneck pronunciation of the electric.

Yeah. Just leave the E off. Yeah, hits. Put his ass in electric chair. He's a Baptist. Yep. There you go. All there.

Where are you doing, Drew, foraging for berries? What? You were outside walking around. I just asked if you were forgering foraging for berries. It is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day, boys. Oh, yeah, happy Earth Day. I'm on this beautiful farm, which is my in-laws farms where I got married.

That is, Rudy. Speaking of it being Earth Day, Hillary Clinton fired a shot today. Did you see what she tweeted? Uh-uh. Well, it was she tweeted. Was it about emissions or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said, this is what's at stake for our climate in November's elections.

Absolutely everything. It's a chart here. Here's the chart. And it shows in red that is what the emissions will be under Trump. And then the blue is the emissions under Biden, which is barely better. Like, if you look at the target here, it's like neither one of them hit. And she kind of just exposed that. basically to where it's like, I don't know, it reads as like, hey, if you, hey, all you people who are huge Trump supporters, if you want things to barely be better in the thing you don't even believe in in the first place, vote for Trump. You know what I mean? Or vote for Biden. It's just really funny to me.

I would imagine the goal would be to stoke up people who weren't going to vote. That's true. But like it's, but your point I think stands maybe even more because that's literally, you're saying the chart was like, we couldn't see it by the way. Oh, my bad. You're saying the chart was like, this is what we need to do. Trump's going to be way above that. He's not hitting the target to save the planet. And then also for the record, Biden's way above it too.

He's just below that. It's literally in chart form, the lesser of two evils. Yeah, right. Here it is right. here. And yeah, I tweeted that I was voting for Target. Yeah, Katie Wood, if you could. You might write in Target.

Yeah, I don't know. I was reading about Earth Day earlier for my patrons, so I realized I didn't know shit about Earth Day. And it's got a kind of an interesting backstory, I thought, more than I expected it to have. Like, they got it. This senator, first of all,

the guy who's credited with founding Earth Day, he won the president, Medal of Freedom for it later was a senator from Wisconsin named Gaylord Nelson, right? Which I thought was pretty, you know, it's just, it's so on the nose because it's like, you know what any, you know, right-wing climate change deniers response to that would be. Yeah, like, of course, his name was Gaylord. But anyway, it seemed like a pretty cool guy that's Gaylord.

He was flying over Santa Barbara. They took the Lord out of something, you know what I mean? Yeah. There's a big oil spill in Santa Barbara in 1969. He was in a plane flying over it and saw this gigantic oil slick and all these dying seals and shit. And that inspired him to try to do some environmental shit. And then he started trying to put it all together. But he wanted to do it on colleges because it was 1970 coming out of the 60s.

Everything was happening on colleges. But they couldn't get college kids to give a fuck about the earth at all because they were like, they're like, no, two things matter. This goddamn war and civil rights. right? That was like, that's what college kids were caring about in 1970s still, which is fair, I guess. Of course. All this earth talk, I mean, it's sort of the point of the whole story. It hadn't even really started yet. You know what I mean? So it's like, they tried to tell college kids like, instead of putting your time and effort towards ending the war in Vietnam or getting black people treated like humans, let's do some earth.

Let's plant some trees, you know, and they were like, no, what the f that's stupid. That don't hit. So they switched it instead to, they shifted instead to like moms and school teachers. Uh-huh. And it took off like wildfire. It wasn't just that they shifted it. They also, this is funny to me too.

It's like things just seem so much simpler back then in terms of making something hit. The turning point in their whole campaign was they took out a full page ad in the Sunday edition of the New York Times for the move it for the very first Earth day. and that like changed everything. They started getting all these donations from people and put their organization over the top and all this and it made it a success.

It was the largest mass peaceful protest and human history. All this shit. It was because of one full page ad in the New York Times, which I spent almost their entire budget on by the way. Of course. That was the type of thing. Like if you just, if you had the money to do something like that.

Yeah. It would work. Like it would work as long as it was something that was able to, if it was just some made up horse shit, they wouldn't hit for nobody, then it wouldn't matter. But as long as you had, you had something like what you're doing,

that's just what you did. Whereas now today, it's like you've got to figure out a viral marketing campaign and trick people into things that did. It's just like, it's just like, just like back then, like all you have to do is go on Johnny Carson once,

you know, like when there was no, like the New York Times was it. That's where you're getting all your goddamn news. And Johnny Carson's one of three channels. So like, yeah, it's like you really, I mean,

Granted, you know, they still had to have the money to get the fucking ad, but it's like, you know you're going, if you've got something to sell, if you can just get that money, you're getting it back. If you put out an ad in the time free. And they did. They got it back and then some, you know. Three other quick things I thought were cool about it real quick. I know it's like, I don't think Earth Day hits super hard for anybody to talk about. It's fine. But three other things I thought were cool. They, um, it never would have happened without the support of another very important organization

that basically bootstrapped the whole thing from the very beginning and gave them the funding to get started and the infrastructure to get off the ground. The United Auto Workers, the Labor Union, the Auto Workers Labor Union, which was led by this dude who was a big time fucking like FDR progressive guy. And what? I'm just so used to our language.

When you said FDR, I went to FDH. I can't even hear FDR anymore without thinking fat, dumb, and then, well. So the United Auto Workers kind of got the modern environmental movement off the ground, which I thought was cool. Another thing I thought was cool, standard oil, now ExxonMobile at the time, still called Standard Oil, still run by Rockefeller. Check this out. Really?

The Rockefeller who ran at 1970, he ran Standard Oil. His name was Larry Rockefeller. Is that not funny? That's funny, right? It sounds like the 30 Rock version of the Rockefeller brother. You know what I mean? Because they were all like Nelson and John D. and Rutherford and stuff like that.

And Larry. They did not believe in him when he was born. No. Hey little buddy. Rossi. I assume his name was Lawrence. Probably. And at about 12, they were like, this dude's fucking Mary.

We can't. So Larry Rockefeller standard oil tried to do that thing that corporations do where he tried to like, he tried to write them a check for Earth Day. Right. The biggest check anybody had ever written them, right? And he's like, no, we care. I know it looks like we killed all these animals in the ocean and stuff. But big oil cares, right?

But they wouldn't, they wouldn't take it. They never took any corporate money. There were a few stoaks that said it would have compromised their integrity. And then the third thing was that they launched this campaign called the D. 30 dozen where they tried to get 12 of the worst environmental it 12 of the politicians with the worst environmental record who were currently in office at the time they picked 12 politicians who super didn't hit the environment and they tried to get them beat out of office like was strong I'm in one of them I don't know I

didn't see the whole list of them but they called them the dirty dozen it was this big campaign and seven of the 12 lost and because seven of the 12 loss is a result of that the rest of Congress like oh shit these hippies are this is a real thing and it led to this string of environmental legislation in the 70s, the Clean Air Act, a Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act, all them shits, which you still hear about today, were a direct result of all this Earth Day stuff.

So I'm saying like Earth Day early on and the people behind Earth Day, it's like amounted to shit, to the real shit. It was like that. Yeah, they really did it. And then now can't get nobody to fuck about nothing. Can't anybody give a fuck. You know, I mean, you know, the thing is, it's like a dedicated group of people who are super passionate and doing something for the right reason,

you know, can often get shit done. I just feel like now with all social media and stuff, they get shut down pretty easy, like, you know, getting made fun of and stuff. Whereas back then, like, you know, maybe they were able to operate relatively in the shadows. I don't know, but like, I want to believe in shit like that again, you know? Yeah. It'd be tough, though, because of, like, that. game is right it's like once a play is played and the companies with a lot of money

who don't want the new Clean Air Act whatever it may be to happen they know how to beat that way you got to come up with a new play and it just uh it all feels so fractured i mean even going back to you were talking about johnny carson even if you want to take it out of politics like there used to be a way to make it as a comic we should be a way to make it as musician everyone copied that way too many people doing it that way you got to do it a new way and then the internet kind of fractured everything you know in good ways in bad it like got rid of gatekeepers but it also made it to where you couldn't be famous overnight you know well although i'll be honest now we're getting off topic maybe a little bit i think going back

to your thing about um you know used to you could just take a ad out in the new york times it is way more complicated than that but i think people are figuring out the outer rhythm you'll never convince me that they didn't make Matt Rife happen overnight. You'll never convince me that that girl who interviewed Drake, whose name I cannot remember, who's now on every podcast and while I assume soon be in movies, she just popped up overnight. She interviewed Drake. No one knew who she was.

And then that little clip she had with and went viral. Right. And she had a ton of followers first? No. She had like a bunch of followers first? I don't think. You can buy those too, though. I think that she, she, I also, I saw her pop up on a few other big podcasts.

Like, who the fuck is this? Especially because her whole thing is like. Rage back. An aloof bitch, right? Isn't that her whole thing? Yeah. So, like, I was like, what the fuck is this? And then I looked it up and.

But, man, if you, you do, if girls I went to high school with name Ashley knew you could make money. No, she had. My college girlfriend, too, son. She would excel. But, uh, anyway. Yeah. I, I remember reading it. Yeah.

Like she got Drake on a podcast, and that led to her podcast exploding, and now it's huge, whatever. And I don't understand it. But Matt, right? We had about Matt Rifto. Like, I'm not saying you're wrong, but who, like. He has been putting into work. To what end? Like, with him specifically, or hell even her.

But, like, what's the? Because he didn't blow up overnight. Well, he did and he didn't. And I'm not trying to take anything away from him in terms of the work he put in. But it did go from, like, he was a guy who could sell 60 tickets. in New York to he's selling out giant theaters on a world tour because he blew up on TikTok. I guess what I'm

theorizing here is like there's ways to game the algorithm and you can buy it. But you've got to have it. You've got to have like once you get that ball roll and you've got to have more content to provide. This is one of those things that's like do you think you have to seek this out? Because it, tell you what this kind of reminds me.

Okay, see, hang on. This is what it kind of reminds me of. of is it's like, you know how they think that everybody who's even remotely on the left or whatever is like getting checks in the mail from George Soros to be big queer and stuff? It's like, you know, I've been this whole time, be like, where the fuck is my George Soros money at? Like, why am I not getting my fucking, my cousin Steven Crowder gets $50 million from the Koch brothers every year to be the right wing version of my stupid ass? And it's like, I thought that's what George Soros is supposed to be for. I'm doing this propaganda shit for free.

I'll take the fucking money. But this, what you're talking about here, feels like a similar thing to me. It's like, I'll do that. How do you can, you can just do that? That's what you're saying. It's like, you can just do that. It's like, I'll do that. How much money does it take to do that?

Because I'll do that. I'll liquidate everything I have right now. Yeah, I don't know how much money it takes, but here's my theory on it. First of all, I don't think it's a button you push and it's automatic. I think that, I mean, I think both those people we just talked about were rep by William Morris. I could be wrong, but that's one of the biggest agencies in the world. What I believe and know to be at least somewhat true is that, of course, though, that side of our industry and the music industry is constantly trying to figure out how to make money and control

how things, they're trying to gate keep, right? Well, the algorithm in the internet and TikTok and Reels and YouTube has been around long enough, there is some, I don't want to say science, but like structure to how you're quote unquote supposed to do it. We even talk about it. We've talked about it before like, okay, post in the morning, you know, blah, blah, blah. Well, if you and I know that, if Trey, you don't even pay attention to that shit at all. If you know that you're supposed to post at certain times a day, imagine what, you know, consultants, a dedicated group of like think tank type money has discovered.

and imagine who they can speak to and pay to speak to at TikTok, at Facebook. Because there's no way, think about how valuable it is for you to get on the front page of many people's For You page. For You page is where you go to that part of like Instagram and it just shows you stuff based on what you've liked in the past. Think about how valuable it would be for you to just be on that for 1% of users, 3% of you. users. Now think about who could pay for that. You and I wouldn't even know who to call. And it's not valuable to Facebook or meta or whoever if they sell it to everybody. It's only valuable by it being a limited time or sorry, what's the word, exclusive situation. In other words, we can't push everybody to the front of the for you page. That would defeat the purpose of pushing any single person.

So we can only do it with a few people Well, if you work at Meta You know that you can get the money for it What else will you want? Well, fame Being cool Everyone wants to be Hollywood Everyone wants to be hot and they want to be Hollywood Elon Musk when the richest motherfuckers are alive

He's trying to like be on reality television Fighting Mark Zuckerberg and go on Joe Rogan Everybody wants to be famous So you dabble This is my little conspiracy theory But you talk to the people in Hollywood Who can make that happen and you like feeling connected.

I just believe that for certain people, at William Morris and some other big agencies, they can put certain clients on the front of the 4-U page. It is expensive. They can probably only choose one or two or three to do it with at a time, because, again, if they do it to more than that, it'll be pointless. And it still doesn't always work, is my belief. Counterpoint.

Silly little bitches really love Matt, Rife and that's who's on TikTok. And it worked, but Rife's is interesting too because in some ways what I'm about to describe, he should get credit for if it's true. I also believe a lot of the crowd work stuff was

pre-planned. Like, I think there were people planted. Some of them jokes, because I've heard the guy, be way less funny than that. Not that he wasn't funny, he was fine, but it's like, damn, that's a fully formed joke. And it

just so happened that there were two people in wheelchairs at your show? Like, this feels like you planned it. I'm definitely not going to disagree that that could have happened because, and I'm not going to say their name because I ain't trying to sling mud at nobody or whatever, but like there is comedians that we know of who like have put up heckler videos and it's been outed that they are 100% putting motherfuckers. I'll say it.

It's fucking. Yes, it is. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess we were all thinking it. I also was going to bring that up because, yeah, it's. but the other thing you need to remember about Rife, Rife dated,

uh, not Kate Bosworth. Shit. He dated. He dated a supermodel. Well, yeah, he's,

when he was on MTV. I believe it. I mean, Bosworth threw me a little bit. For like three months, for like three months, it was like very publicized. I'm not saying they weren't fucking.

They probably were, but like, it was obviously, they turned it into a PR thing for both of them. Like, oh, old, old supermoderil, you can be relevant by having a young guy, new and upcoming comedian. My point is, his people have been putting him in a position to succeed. I am not in any way trying to say that there's a button to push. I am saying that they have access to things that you and I have access.

I'm certain about that. And they gave him those resources. And I believe it's like back channel shit at Facebook and Instagram. I do think it's expensive. I believe in my heart that you can pay to be pushed by the algorithm. It isn't automatic. You still have to impress people.

And Matt Rife did. So again, I'm not trying to take it away from him. Well, and I was only, the only reason I was saying anything against you saying he blew up overnight was just because, like,

I remember 10 years ago when we, you know, I was a lot younger that like, when Matt Rife was super fucking young. And I would hear back then like, oh, Matt Rife, he's going to be the next guy. And then he just kind of wasn't.

DJ met him out there, you know. And all I heard was Matt Raft, this, Matt Raft this. And then he just kind of wasn't. And then that's when he popped up again. I was like, oh, shit, you know, I guess it's been a long time coming for this guy. Because all I knew about him was like, he was a hot, new little thing in L.A., and he was super fucking young, which obviously I was jealous about because I was like, I thought I was going to be the kid that started 16 and fucking made it in Chattanooga for some reason.

Yeah, but I guess when I said overnight, I meant the World Tour thing. and that is wild and it shows the power of social media but again I feel like I've gotten this like sort of down the rabbit hole of entertainment and I'm not sure people want to hear about that but all I was trying to express is I'm not trying to say Matt Rife didn't have content that people wanted to see I'm saying that I believe in my heart that there are ways to get put in the front of the algorithm via back channels it's too valuable for them not to sell it like it's too valuable for Facebook meta whatever TikTok

not to sell but it has to be exclusive and that's why which means expensive as fuck expensive as fuck but also like who can get it I don't know if they would do it to like just so rich guy because then that could ruin

it like it has to be they have to give the opportunity to like five talented people let me ask you this though this isn't just about entertainment but it is about social media and stuff I mean it's a proven fact like a known thing that you can buy engagement followers, likes, shares, you can buy all that stuff.

I've seen clips on Reddit, like video of the operations at a, like, Thailand, Thailand click farm. Yeah. Where it's like a whole wall of tablets and phones set up and one little Thai dude just like walking through and literally just like hitting them all and doing

all this shit or whatever. And it's like, and that's how it works. And it's like Spotify streams. That shit still like that drives engagement, right? So you can pay these like there's just companies who just do that. And you can pay them for X number of likes or shares or whatever the thing is. And then the idea is that drives engagement,

which forces you into the algorithm. Right. So like you can definitely buy it, but from a third party thing like for sure. And that's the way to do it. And that's a known thing. Right. 100%.

And to make sure. sure people understand I'm not trying to insult Matt Rife. If you do something like that, it won't last. Unless you hit. If you're hit, if you're not hit. There was a guy who was on Flagrant too recently. I don't listen to that podcast

hardly ever, but I saw a clip and it was very interesting. He was a musician. I swear I think it was Miguel, but don't quote me on that. It's a dude I don't know and I don't follow, but he was talking about this sort of thing and what Corey just said about paying for Spotify streams. I

find an episode and send it to you guys it was wildly interesting this dude's very independent it's sort of been his whole thing and he's like so i can say this because they can't really come for me because the way i set my career up and he's like i'm not going to name names and i'm not trying to like shit talk some of these people are my friends and they're very talented but like the record companies are absolutely getting this system well that i'm just arguing that that's happening now try and circle back to what we were talking about and this is true of politics it's true of entertainment

I would argue that in 40 years it may look as obvious in history to see how to make it like there might be somebody sitting around on whatever the equivalent of a podcast is in 40 years and being like yeah all you had to do back then was going Rogan

as if that would yeah well but that's what I'm saying But if long as you had the, and I know it's like as long as you had the money, but still, anyone who had the money to purchase the ad space in the New York Times Sunday edition could do it. Like, that's not true for Rogan. So it is like. Right. But it was risky. Like, surely they didn't know.

It wasn't obvious then or everybody would have done it. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I mean, it's, it is harder now, but I do think that there's no. I mean, the Rogan thing. I mean, you're right. It is like, I mean, that's. I mean, that is kind of the new version of the Johnny Carson thing.

Like, I mean, he does do that same exact thing that Johnny Carson used to do. Like, he's a fucking kingmaker. But it's like, but it's only in a, I feel like it's only in a certain, you have to fit within the Rogan verse. Like the Roganites, the thing you do. Right. Like, you got to be a jacked neuroscientist. You know what I mean? Right.

And then if you go on Rogan for the first time, then you're huge. after that. They're like, I love this guy. Like, Adam Conover, Adam Conover went on there during the writer strike, and they ate his ass alive.

Right. You know, because they were like, this fucking dude don't hit. And like, he hits for me. I'm just saying he was on there being super Libby and stuff. Right.

And the Roganites, they didn't, you know, they're like, fuck this guy. So it's not like everybody, but if you fit within that universe and you go on there, you're a maid man.

It's just like, Oprah used to do the same thing with like mom author type. Oh, yeah. People. She was a queen and kingmaker too. It's like if you hit for moms and I see like if we'd gone on Oprah, if Oprah, if Oprah,

if Oprah, if Oprah, if we, if Oprah, you know, to the room, bro, to the moon,

but, but yeah. So I don't even know like what I'm trying to say with any of that. It's just why it's like, comedians particularly lament often. The whole like, you still go on car. Carson, you get called over and that was it.

And it's like, that does still kind of exist. It's just, and it's like it's just as, you know, I guess it's just as hard to get on Joe Rogan as it was to get on Johnny Carson or whatever. But it's like, I mean, Rogan is the current version of that. It absolutely works the same way. So, I mean. Well, and then also you get to go on all the ancillary podcast. Yes, you go on a little podcast run of that like Rogan verse,

the extended Rogan universe of podcast that all the same people watch. Yeah. all that shit. And there's like there's adjacent ones like one example is legion of skanks. Um, and then their whole like adjacent universe. That's like niche, but those people fanatical. Like they'll come out. They'll buy your t-shirt. They'll call everybody who disagrees to you a huge piece of shit or worse. Um, but anyway, I guess to try to get back into politics a little bit like, I go back and forth on it because like a part of me is like, no, there's no way that that thing you said Corey there's no way like a small group of dedicated people can

change the world anymore and then the other hand i'm like or maybe we just it's just hard to figure out how uh but i do feel like the money in politics is more than back then and like citizens united changing everything and just corruption with a way you can just kind of buy it now i don't mean to be so cynical but i really don't think a small group of dedicated righteous people righteous people can make big changes.

Alex Jones, apparently a couple days, tweeted something very heroic that was like, Hitler don't hit, you know, or something like that. You would think, you know, you would think it's like Alex Jones is usually on one side, but, you know, finally he has posted something that we can all agree on, you know, it's like immediately when I saw it, it was that, you know, onion article, worst, dumbest or worstest person you've ever met says the right thing. Well, it did not go how Alex Jones wanted, or maybe it did. I don't know, because, you know, Alex Jones also is the king of getting in the algorithm. but that's just because he's a goddamn lunatic who says wild shit and we eat that up. Anyways, there were, oh, shit, let me share my screen here. People have absolutely been going in on Alex Jones for saying that Hitler don't hit, to the point of like they feel betrayed by him, which made somebody post this picture where I think they're trying to make Hitler and Alex Jones look similar or something.

Yeah, Alex... It is wild. And then so Alex Jones retweets it and says, for all the Hitler lovers, this post should make it all better. But I will say it again. He's standing on business. I will say it again. Fuck out of Hitler and every other totalitarian oppressor of the people.

Right? So that's wild enough. But here's what really got me is the amount of people who are just like, apparently, I know that people, listen, I'm very aware that there's a group of people who are cool with Nazism. But I always thought that when they were asked if Hitler hit him. They would be like, no, no, no, no. You know what I mean? But these are the replies.

Who called you this time, Jones, implying that like, you know. Yeah, his puppet master's called him and was like, hey, we need you to say the Hitler don't hit today. Yeah. You're asking to get ratioed again. I love this one. Stunning and brave comment and fully in line with all politicians and media narratives. The German people adored him, to which Alex Jones said and 24 million died.

Then it gets worse. what people did he oppress exactly. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. These poor oppressed people and just shows a bunch of white Germans. How much was the check for Alex? Right. And then, and I'm going to quit sharing this,

but again, it's just a lot of people who are basically being like, if you say that Hitler don't hit, it means that you are clearly being paid by the mainstream media. And someone even went as far as far as, as to post this full link, like two-hour documentary that is like trying to prove that there's been an unfair media bias against Hitler and that he didn't do any of that bad shit.

And that by Alex Jones saying that Hitler don't hit, which by the way, I should point out, longstanding thing we've had on this show, we too don't think Hitler hits. But people were basically trying to be like, oh, oh, so you think Hitler don't hit? Is that because you read it in the news? You know? And this just goes back to this thing that I did a fucking park rant on on my bonus cori.com if I want to sign up. But I was basically talking about how like,

because there's certain people who I'm all about questioning shit, but there's certain people now and there's a lot of them who literally just believe that nothing has ever happened. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like Holocaust, that didn't have anything bad. They're like, no, it didn't happen. The media just told you it happened. And they, it's not even that they're questioning everything.

It's that they straight up don't believe a fucking word that comes out of anyone's goddamn mouth. Well, yeah. But I think for these, most of these people in particular, it's that Jews are saying a thing. Right. Right. To them that was bad to them. And they're like the Jews, the globalist that run everything. They lie about everything.

And they made all that up to discredit fucking, what, whatever. And so that's why the end. It's like classic Holocaust denies. I mean, there's not, it's not surprising really that Holocaust deniers and Alex Jones stands, that there's a lot of overlap. But I'm with you. It is wild that like, I mean, this isn't news either, especially post-Trump. Like, they're a lot more emboldened. They'll just say shit now. But you said, you know a person was racist and didn't like news and all this stuff, but they would be like, but no, Hitler didn't hit for me. And then you'd feel like he gets behind locked doors with his buddy who thinks the same shit as

And they're both just like, Hitler totally hit, right? Yeah, they don't say it in public. But now they do say it in public and that is wild. And then you still got some of these concerned, these common, like Alex Jones here, sort of, who try to play the game of, we're not actually race. They still try to do that sort of shit. And when it bites them in the ass like this, it's funny to me. Like there was that, I think it was that Tim Poole guy who's a conservative commentator.

Yeah. He tweeted something like Joe Biden is a fascist. And then like his followers were like, no, he isn't. If he was, he would hit for us. Yeah, right. Devine was a fascist. He'd fucking rock. What are you talking about?

We love it. And he's just got to, you know, I think there's another half word you're thinking about. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. And it's like, it's funny, but it's also alarming. But it's the fucking internet, you know, I don't know. It's more, that type of thing is way more mainstream than it used to be for sure. But that there's always been a contingent.

of those people on the internet without a doubt who are just like gnarly as hell with that type of thing. There was also a poll. There was also a poll in that thread that had like, I don't know, half a million people vote in it. And it was, was Hitler a bad person? And 70% said, nah. And that's probably a lot of people just being like, I'm just going to put this, you know, for whatever. but like, dude, I know we talk about this all the time, but like, I almost wish my, sometimes I go, God damn, I'm glad my papal died young because who knows, now he was like a died in a wool Democrat

motherfucker, but I was like, who knows what he, what conversations we'd be having now. But I'm, I can say, I can safely say, I know my papal enough to know that if he lived to see the day where people were talking about how Hitler hit and praising Nazi Germany, he'd be fucking furious right now. You know what I mean? I mean, it's funny because a lot of them, papas of that generation, the same is also probably too, for just like anime and wea birds and stuff.

You know what I mean? Like Japan also hits for people now, and that's cool because Japan does hit, but hapaws would stand on business with both, I think. Do you know what I mean? Well, dude, present day Germany hits too. You know what I mean? Right, yeah. We're talking about the Nazi

regime, the fucking Third Reich is what these people are into. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. Yeah. But I mean, dude, dude, their PR campaign since all that, they've done good, man, you know. Because they, like, they were like.

Accepted it. Yeah, exactly. They were like, y'all are right. That was fucked up. Right. Not done that. And Japan took the L. Japan.

That's what the South is. The South and Japan both took the same approach to the whole thing. Right. Like, like, like, meaning like, They never really acknowledge, like, you're right, we didn't hit. Right. Japan managed to through business and Nintendo and anime and shit, you know, they've like, they achieved like a cultural victory.

That's true. They did. But like. You got college football. I was about to say the South kind of has done that too, though, with at least half of this country. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Nobody bombed us, though.

Right. True. Anyway, I don't know. This big, we're even with Japan. I feel like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, kind of like we just won't even talk about it.

Like, when you and your buddy get in a fight afterwards. We put them in camps. Yeah. Yeah, we were rude. It wasn't good. No. Bro, but okay, I know, but dude. Yeah.

I think people, like, I get down. It shouldn't have been talking shit. It's a weird thing about Japan. It's like, well, I guess it's not that weird. Everybody's focus is so hard on the Holocaust in Europe and the Jewish part and the Nazi part and all that that, like, sometimes I feel like the Japanese sort of skate. Right. They ought not because they were doing some wildly fucked up shit in World War.

They were like, they were really, really going in. Like, ask the Chinese, you know. Yeah, yeah. What Japan was up to. And there's a thing called Unit 731 or 719 or something like that that'll curdle your fucking blood. If you read about like human experimentation and sewing babies together and fucking all kinds of wild shit. Like mad scientist shit they was doing and the rape of Nanking like in kamikazis. and all. I mean, they were like, they were wilding.

Big time. You know why they were so? I was saying, together. Just say what would happen. They're trying to make anime come to life. You know what I just realized? That's what's going on with our current papaws

in socialism and communism and communism. It just occurred to me. The way you were like, yeah. Oh, right. Like the old papaws would be like, we're down with Nazis? Right. You know what I had to go through to beat them? Right.

That's a good point. That's like why, like. But Russia hits for them. Bernie Sanders and AOC. George right about that, though. Yeah, Russia hits for them. Russia hits for them. Who does Russia hit for them?

He hits for them. No, it hits for them. I'm in the fucking thick of it. And it does not hit for them. No, it hits for them. I thought they had turned on Ukraine and everything. and Russia. No, you're talking about the Chads. You're talking about the fucking 30-year-old bros. Papas fucking hate Russia. Okay. Well, that's good.

I promise you, dog. Good. But that's why Russia don't hit. No, that's why all Fox News has to say is communists or socialists. Right. And then these motherfuckers start having flashbacks. Of course. Their ass is handed to him at Ho Chi Men. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. I know that was like you know how like you know Cubans be conservative in Florida they're like a big conservative voting block in Florida it's because the Cubans in Florida escape from the communist regime of Fidel Castro or whatever and like fuck all that fuck all that fuck me shit yeah yeah well the ones that escape were you know on his kill list because they have been doing fuck shit but I won't get into that yeah yeah well I don't know what I don't know nothing about yeah I just know y'all trying to go to Cuba yeah yeah I want to cars I was sitting cars too

Me too. I drink him. Hemingway dackery's and stuff. Yes. You know, ate me a Cubano sandwich. Yeah, it's like,

I know, I know, I feel like Cuba, Cuba, just let me get there. Cuba be like Mexico in the sense that the places we would go

is fine, right? Which is just Havana, right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think Cuba's like Mexico if you mean like

the cartel type shit. Okay. I'm speaking from ignorance. I, I'm not saying you won't get robbed if you're there and you're being an ignorant American, but there's no, like, kidnap an American equivalent that I know of. Right. Are we, can we, can you just go to Cuba now? I think, if you have to get, like, special permission, but like.

As long as you don't carry shit with you, right? Because I do it to get special permission from them. I think you're, we're good with it. Okay. Because I knew for a long time you couldn't, obviously. And then there would, like, I remember they were like, going to lift that. But I thought, like, with everything the government ever says they're going to do, it got a little wishy-washy and then yeah i think you gotta go with a group like it's like oh you can

go on missions there now but then like a lot of these travel organizations are like yeah we're going on a mission to cuba to get cigars yeah it's like north north korea they do that type of thing they take groups of people over there but then dude no wow my god bro but in north korea they shepherd you a group of americans comes in to like see north korea and you're shepherded every minute of every day. And you can't talk out of time. No, by the guard. And they only let you see what they want you to see and all that type of shit.

That's another thing I thought I'd never see. And I've been seeing this on the left and it's insane to me. You better say people are talking about how North Korea hits. Yep. Get the fuck out of here. They're trying to be like, this is what yours of propaganda will make you think about the North Koreans or whatever. It's like, they have no starving people.

And I'm like, well, that's only one metric, first of all, to measure. You know what I mean? It's like there's no homeless in North Korea and it's like, okay, well, that's cool. They shoot you when you go outside. Are there any children who laugh? You know what I mean? Like, I don't think they shoot you when you go outside because I don't think a society could survive like that. So I guess I can understand like the acorn that plants, the tree of like, my whole life, I've been told they shoot you if you go outside of North Korea. There's no way that's true. No one could live like that. And then that's, somehow leads to like what else have they lied to us about you know what i mean it's like no i've

seen the little fat guy get worshipped it's a weird place fuck trying to like act like it ain't yeah although i think it's been generally proven i think that a lot of that stuff like i said you go over there as an american on a uh doing tourist shit and you'll see a grocery store that looks like it hits but it that's like they fake and yeah right a lot of shit they show is not real and uh i've always heard not that they shoot you you, if you go outside, and I know you were just hitting. How was you? Yeah. Hyperbolic.

But that they, if you fuck around, they put you in like a work camp. You find out. But, yeah, right. Yes, exactly. That's exactly it. Yeah. They famously adhered to that doctrine. But not just you find out, your kids find out that it's like generational levels of

finding out that like people stay. You could be born in a work camp because your grandpa pissed off Kim Il-Soon or whatever, and now you are effectively a slave because they imprisoned generations of people and stuff like that. I've also seen videos of like defectors trying to make it to South Korea. And if you can make it to South Korea, South Korea will be like, yeah, you can stay. But North Korea is just like fucking, you know, just a shooting range at them. The whole, like, you ever seen those, they're wild, dude, like a clip of a North Korea. Like, like, like, like, like, I've seen them make.

I think you got shot a couple times while, like make it through. but it's like something out of an action movie, dude. There's fucking, like dirt flying up and shit all around him because North Korea is trying to shoot him dead. But, you know, that's if you try to leave. And, you know, just because they'll kill you if you try to leave, that don't mean they're so bad. Yeah, it's like Scientology.

I want to say two things. One, Professor Young Bay Kim at Marrable, one of my political science teachers, he's retired, probably dead by now because he was old as fuck. He had walked. He had walked. I thought you were about to shower this dude with me. I am.

Okay. He had walked no man's land. I want to say five times. Escaping and then going back for family. Look that. You can get you on way, Cuzz. And he wrote a book about it.

It's like the hoop professor young way because that's one who told him. The hoops you'd have to jump through though. The hoops you'd have to jump through though. like to believe that this professor at Marival college made all that up and kept a lot. You know what I mean? And still stayed at Marival.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's like, you already hit harder, dude. Should have been at Harvard. Should have went nine times, dude. They got one at Harvard went nine times. But even going back to the Cuba thing a little bit, I always think about this when I'm, you know, hanging out on the left on the internet or whatever.

There always seems to be this, like, sense of places that are America's enemy that are like communist like North Korea. They're like, well, yeah, there's prisoners, you know. And it's like they seem to think or they act like in their mind. Even with Cuba, I referenced it earlier kind of joking.

It's always like, well, yeah, Castro took rich people's land. And he gave it to poor people because those people have been exploiting the working class for years. And I'm like, bro, if the Cuban version of John Rockefeller got put in prison, that's rad. But if you believe in your heart, that's all that

happened. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, what you were just representing. It's like, there seems to be this idea of like, yeah. He's Robin Hood. Yes. And that's what's going on with this North Korea stuff that I've noticed recently that's so shocking is they're like, when it comes to the prison part, it's like, yeah,

enemies of the state will get put in prison. You know, these are blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah. Or like he fucked his fat cousin girlfriend that he didn't want him to. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, how old is that? If there's people on.

If there's people on the left, if there's people on the left, as you say, this is news to me that for some reason all of a sudden now are like cool with North Korea or think it ain't all that bad. We're talking about far left because they're not in the state. If you're listening, I have no problem with you hating me. North Korea don't hit. So, okay, this again, documented fact, I'm pretty sure. Like I said, Americans can go over there in these groups and stuff and they're shepherded everywhere they go. there was a kid an American, he was 23, a college student named Otto Warm Beer. Don't hit, but you know, that German as fuck.

I prefer Otto Cold Bear myself. Yeah, anyway, I'm being insensitive because don't hit what happened to this kid. Anyway, he went over there as part of a guided tour group. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a couple more beers would have helped with that situation. But he was, uh, no, a, uh, a, uh, he was on a guided tour group over there and he tried to steal a propaganda poster from his hotel

because he just thought it was cool and I bet it was cool. I bet it was cool. But that's all he tried to do was try to steal a propaganda poster. He got caught and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. And then the United States like bartered for his release and they did release him. But when they released him, he was a vegetable and he later died. So it's like, well, this kind of don't count, you know. Yeah, right. That was a great, great bargaining chips they were using.

Yeah, like that's sort of what I'm saying. He was Dennis Rodman. Yeah, I wish he needed to eat some bargaining chips. I'm saying, like, they can't be too old, dude. They don't like hit. Right. They don't fucking hit. Yeah. That's sort of what I'm saying is there seems to be inside this world of like, we've been lied to about North Korea. First of all, I do think that the things we're told about North Korea seemed far-fetched from time to time. It seems impossible. possible to have a society continue on the way some of these things are presented to us.

And I do believe in my heart that the anti-communist war during the Cold War led to our government making it seem worse than it was. I can't buy that argument. But when they're just like turning college kids into vegetables, you can't be like, yeah, man, because they fuck it. That's how much they love their people. They'll protect their people against any foreign invaders still in their posters. It's like, dude, no, they're just, that's eating. evil. Evil exists on every part of the political spectrum, clearly.

And I feel bad for that kid. I truly do. That being said, bro, do not go to fucking North Korea. And if you do, don't fuck around. Shit,

I'm not justifying, like, them doing that for someone who steals a thing, but like, shit, man, like don't do that shit. Like,

Britney Griner, don't do that shit. I mean, she ought not have gotten trouble for weed. I agree. That's what we think over here. That ain't what they think.

You know what I mean? Her, I think with her, I don't, I think it's slightly different. Yeah, sure. Because she was, she was working over there. She, like, hit over there, you know, she played professional basketball over there and probably, you know, I think like a lot of athletes. It was Russia, right? Yeah. I mean, it is a difference.

Well, she probably, probably assumed that I'll, you know. You know how athletes be? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. They had all been smoking weed. For sure. She was targeted. Russia found out that we don't care about women's basketball, but. Well, that's changing.

She should have got caught with weed in a post-Katelyn-Clark world. That's right. She should have been white and shooting three-pointers, too. That's true. What are you going to do? What is she stupid? Yeah. You get it?

Hey, I know Jokic and all them dudes are like from places near Overe, like, but not there, but like, Do Russians hit at basketball? Like, are there some Russians that you know about that I don't know about? It seemed like they'd hit at it. So, I mean, yes and no, I guess it depends on how you're going to define it. I mean, a lot of those places were in the USSR. So if we're talking about, like, from the Russia in the past that we went to war with, quote, quote, yes, many of them. If you're talking about now and, like, the actual motherland, yeah, they're good.

I can't think of any, like, great players. Wasn't Carolinko Russian? I was going to say, Andre Carolenko, I'm pretty sure it was actually Russian. I think I could be wrong. But he was the first one that popped into my head too. But most of them, like you said, most of the ones that hit now are just Eastern European, so they used to be Soviet Union. But now, like, Russia don't hit for them.

Yeah, right. They're glad to not be. Yeah. I never wanted to be in the Soviet Union. And, you know, I'm sure they all say fuck Russia generally. Also, one reason Russia stayed mad at us. Hello. One reason Russia stayed mad at us.

and I have to assume this is still having an effect on theirs. Because we hit and they don't hit? So many men died trying to save the world from Hitler from their country. Yeah, way more than anybody else. And it's just like, it's like some of the guys who might have ended up being professional athletes, I'm sure had to like go to work because they didn't have a dad. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's kind of always been Russia's thing with war.

It's hard to fuck with them in war because of, A, like the weather and the numbers, the meat grinder part, like they'll just keep pouring Russians on you, you know? I can tell you. Yeah, because, I mean, yeah, in World War II, they had, like, way, way more losses than anybody else on the allied side for sure. And I think, like, period. And I would say it takes four generations to even come close to normalizing after that.

Right. That's why I'm going to get coming over here to marry. Killing them all again in war. know, like, yeah, which is what they're currently doing, but I mean, it ain't on that level, obviously, not, you know, but they can't get to go, cause. War don't hit. No, I'm not. War don't know.

Aren't they mostly sending like, I don't know, the equivalent of slaves and migrants and shit like that are people that basically like, like actual like Russian, like strong young Russian men, they having trouble getting them over there, ain't they? I know that people. are just like being like, I'm not going to go. Who the fuck's going to make me? You're already admitting to me that you don't have the army to come and force, you know, me not going.

But I'm going to be honest. I have barely paid attention to that conflict, essentially since the fucking, you know, I saw a guy. I thought dude on Reddit, who claimed to be from Russia, he could have been just making all this up. But he said something like,

they came to his parents' house to serve him, his papers, he's like, you got to go to war now, papers. But he wasn't. home and because he wasn't home, there just wasn't nothing they could do about that, and now he don't have to go to war. And I was like, well, if that's how

their system works, they probably need to close some of them loops or something. That's like, you know, I wonder that... Yeah, no wonder they're having issues with it, or maybe I'm just done and misunderstood him, but I don't know, I'm war dumb. What are you going to do? I too am

more dumb. My father-in-law's the war done. Mm, uh-huh, yeah. And he's done war. that was Canada that was fun hey do you know anything about real quick I don't know anything about it oh Canada it hit I was thinking that

just like we were talking we went up there even I've been there before I still got there and in my head I was looking over my acting shit and I was like this is all so American like it's not it's not even that y'all I mean y'all know what my acts like it's not even it's like like American politics right it's just American

just like culturally American I feel like all of it almost but the got my opener, Abdul, shout out, Abdul, who's a very funny guy, Abdul Aziz in Vancouver. He's a Canadian, obviously. And he was like, he was like, well,

Vancouver's like the most American of all Canadian cities. And plus he's like, you know, we'd be paying attention to y'all and your bullshit or whatever. So, you know, it went, it went good. It hit. I mean, I was just in and out sort of thing. But I want to, Drew, are you wearing that Netflix reality show where that prison warden tries to,

like, make prison hit or something? Okay. Me neither really, but I thought you might be. Oh, let's all watch it. I just, I feel like Gerard have strong opinions on it, just solely based on the premise alone. It's like he's like, you know, he's this, he's like a maverick prison warden

who's trying to revolutionize the way his prison works or something, but he's also in part of doing that, he's allowed Netflix to come and film it all. I don't know. I don't know anything else about it, really. Sounds North Korea. I just know that it's a thing. You find out.

Yeah. I think that part of it is like they just keep all the doors open and let them like just hang out. That's not normal though. My brother's in a pod, I guess you call it now. We're like, there are those cells. They just like have little, there's like half walls and your beds are up against the half wall. Well, yeah, hell, that's how Orange's New Black was too, famous documentary about women's prison. But, uh, well, yeah.
