Do it again.
We're back for more.
What's going on, man?
Yeah?
You wanna expand?
Yep, on that?
Yep.
Okay, well.
Do one, do one things.
Are you fucking kidding me?
You fucking kidding me.
That's good.
My improps kill suck.
Hey man, you keep working out,
you keep taking those courses.
Soon you'll be able to improv level 17
and then it's basically a black belt.
Yeah, I mean, you could kill someone
with your improv.
Yes, just too good.
Yeah, too funny.
You have to get your vocal chords registered
as lethal weapons.
Hell yeah.
You remember hearing that back in the day
like there was a hand thing?
Yeah, like someone had to get their hands registered
as weapons because they were like a black belt
and karate.
Yeah, is that real?
I don't think so.
How would that...
I just assumed it was real.
Yeah, because I feel like I would hear that
all the time.
I have to concealed carry.
It's walking around with your hands in your pockets.
It's not up to carry state.
You can just walk around,
I don't know throughout it.
But now I remember hearing that
like holy fucking shit.
That's so bad at it.
If you could say that.
Like your hands are in a government registry.
A government database.
They're like this guy can fucking kill
somebody with his hands.
No, that's a quick Google.
I'm gonna look down on it.
Dude, there's no way that's real man.
There's no way you have to register a body part.
About to prove you wrong.
It's the alien thing all over again.
Here we go.
Research rabbit hole.
Fine, while you're looking up,
can you register your hands?
I would say anybody part as a weapon.
Ah, it's a meth.
Yeah, fucking no shit.
Dude, fists count as deadly weapons.
No.
Even feet and fists can be considered deadly
if used in a manner likely to cause serious harm.
Okay, hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Back up.
Considering them deadly weapons is separate from
they can be used in a deadly manner.
Just trying to spin it to my side.
I know what you're doing.
The improv's working.
You're not gonna find a yes to that.
Someone made the same joke as me on Reddit
about concealed carry.
You're such a poser too.
This is the episode review how fake you are.
I've never had an original thought.
Before every episode you write up just endless amounts
of what you're gonna say.
Just like stacks of paper.
An entire scripted part of the improv.
Yeah, dude.
You're a great writer though.
So I got hats off to that.
Thank you.
How do you know that?
Because every puck has been scripted for you.
Wow, yeah, that's Jesus.
In-proven.
What if my work have you written?
I've been here for a life.
True.
Probably what?
17 times now.
More than that.
More than that.
Yeah.
You've been writing just real life stuff.
I got some works.
I love to imagine a world where anything you've said
has been written down first.
Yeah, my room just looks like my mentor.
I got notes all over the place.
All my thoughts.
Just tie it into the next.
Isn't it crazy that movie is just about a guy who has dementia?
Keep, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's like.
I don't think dementia works like that totally.
It's a form of it.
So there's anterior grade dementia.
What's the most important thing?
Which I think would be you can't form new memories.
And there's retrograde.
I think it's amnesia technically, but it's that's dementia.
Alzheimer's is a flavor of dementia that typically involves the degradation of both parts.
You can't have new and you can't have old or you start forgetting old as well.
But wasn't his from a head injury in the movie?
Yeah, that can work.
Where I can't form new memories.
Is that a real thing?
I always wonder that.
Yeah, I mean, because at its core like a dementia can be caused by brain damage.
Like Alzheimer's is your brain.
There's a lot of the area that people have still skeptical because we truly don't know why people get dementia.
But the brain starts degrading.
You can see an image in it doesn't look the same as someone who doesn't have Alzheimer's.
Anyway, the point of all this is you can't register your hands as lethal weapons.
I'm gonna, we'll do a follow up.
Jerry's out.
I don't know if that's true.
All right, that's fair.
All right.
Let's start with the first topic here.
The only question that should matter is it true?
What's your what's your opinion on that?
Oh, that's what we're starting.
That's so abstract.
I think we're gonna start with deity opening up presents.
Oh, wait.
All right, let's back up.
No, I won't do this.
No, no, no, it's fine.
All right, no, I'm just kidding.
Well, let's give me more context for that question.
Why you said the most important question is is it true?
Yeah.
Because I feel like there's a lot of, what other questions should you have about it?
About something bad, something good that happens to you.
No.
The only thing at the end of the day is, is whatever thing you saw or experienced or heard, is it true?
And then from there, you can use it.
I think that's the first question for sure.
Okay.
Fair.
So I guess in that way, yeah, probably the most important.
Because if it's not, then it's like everything that comes after is almost a moot point.
Any going off of a lie leads you to.
So, but you're talking about the situation where someone makes a claim or an allegation?
Sure.
I think that'd be the most common one where people can go.
Because in that case, I go, yeah, it really matters if it's true.
Yeah.
It almost entirely matters if it's true.
So it makes a claim of something.
Okay.
So I just robbed a store.
What are you going to ask me?
I'd be like, why?
Just the only thing that's not about it, if it's true.
Well, there's levels of, I think that's separate from the question though.
Like if you're my friend, if you go, I robbed a store, I'd go, dude, what the fuck?
Like, first I would-
First I would-
First I would-
First I would-
You can almost put a lie just now.
Yeah, then that layer of trust was degrade.
Just like Momento, the brain, dementia.
Oh shit.
But you have to imagine the layer of trust is the truth that we share.
That we know that for aside from jokes, we are honest with each other.
I would hope.
Who knows, this could be entirely fake.
This could be-
I've never really grilled you on anything so it could all just be fake.
You haven't grilled me on anything.
Could all be on something.
Uh, what's your real name?
Yeah, I didn't see that one coming up.
That was a good one.
Derek, it's always been Derek.
Fuck, I don't know if I can get over that.
I'm just gonna do this in my last podcast episode.
It's a fucking awful name.
I've just been waiting to open up to you.
Is the moment you chose?
No.
After being like, we gotta talk about P. Diddy.
Hold on.
Okay.
Wait, okay.
What if someone says, I love you?
Like, is it true?
That's a pen to big depends on who it is.
One.
If it's family member, I go, whatever.
If it's friend, that's what you say.
Well, it's like, we should love each other.
Yeah.
There's exceptions to the rule.
But for the most part, family, you should love your family.
If they're not pieces of shit, let's say.
Sure.
If a friend says it, depends on how good a friend is.
If you say, I love you to be like, I love you, dude.
Yeah.
It's just gross.
Yeah.
But if it's like, I just met.
I love you romantically.
Different.
Different conversation.
Oh, he's hit me.
This podcast was a play to get closer to you.
I was overjoyed when you asked me to start a podcast.
I have a, well, dumb.
Fuck, I said his name.
He just cares.
His name's one on the podcast.
He totally docks himself last episode.
Yes.
And he has told me when we were going to release episode, he's like, I don't give a shit.
My name's it.
So it's out there.
His name's dumb.
But a running joke when I live with him would be like, when I do something, and he would be like,
dear diary, Evan finally did this.
I was like, I can secretly in love with me kind of thing.
Like, dear diary.
Such a funny bit to be out in public.
Yeah.
Yeah, dear diary.
Evan did this today.
But I should keep it diary.
Who does that?
That has to be journaling.
Big, uh, big diary.
Yeah, big diary is different.
Diaries, what's, what's diary?
Okay.
And maybe this is my, my bias, but I associate diaries with like, I get home like, oh my
God, this happened today.
But like in a journaling feels like a, a functional way of like trying to get my thoughts
out or like trying to figure out something.
Diaries feels like you're just like puking onto paper like a motion.
I associate diaries with like a teenage girl going like, oh my God, Billy talked to me today.
But I'm like, they're just healthy journaling.
I mean, I'm all, I'm all for the diary.
But I feel like diary is, again, I have never heard a guy say, I'm going to go ride my
diary today.
No, I would never say that.
I don't have a diary.
But not, again, not to be sexist, it's just I've only, I've never heard.
No one really calls it a diary.
Again, I think teenage girls called it a diary.
There was a time when that was like girls running in diaries.
I remember girls in middle school, riding their diaries in every once in a while, a kid or
another girl would read from her diary and tell you some hot gossip.
It's a big deal, yeah.
And like, but guys would never have diaries.
But it's really just the same thing as journaling, just at a younger age, a younger more emotionally
volatile age.
Fair.
I guess again, I, I think I've told you when I've tried the journal and I get super early
into it, I'm like, I'm such a fucking peat.
Like, why would I ever do this?
If I feel like such an idiot to be riding in, which is the, it does feel weird.
The first time I did it, I was like, whoa, yeah, I had this like, who am I kind of thing
whenever I do it?
Like, what am I trying to?
Like, it feels too serious.
I know it's not the wrong, it's not the right emotion to have around it.
But it feels too serious for me where I'm like, I'm like, today I did this and I'm trying
to get into my, like, what happened?
And then you're just like, who gives it?
Yeah, I'm like, why am I doing this?
And then I think about it.
I was going to read this.
And then I think if anyone found him like, Jesus fucking Christ, what a day they'd have
with us.
Which again, who would that be?
I don't know.
But it's just like, it'll be you later.
Like I, I've done it before and then I read an entry from like a couple months ago,
like, oh, fuck.
Oh, this guy sucks.
Seriously.
You could just do the, what is it?
The math and the count, hate speech, he's like, in 10 years, I want to be me, but better.
That's his whole thing.
Yeah, who do you aspire to?
That's inspiring.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's like, it's hilarious to be like, ring about your past, I'm like, you.
Oh, God.
Which I guess that means progress, right?
If you look at your past self, exactly.
That's how like the math and the kind of thing works.
Like, I think that would just happen no matter what.
I feel like I would always look back at my past thoughts and be like, uh, well, great,
great point, but that in that sentence, you say you, there's a lot of people who don't
progress.
Like that, that I think, yeah, I think there's, I think there's a good amount of people
that if they wrote down what they did, and then 10 years later, they went, they'd be like,
nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, that could actually be sad.
If your life goes, goes south and then you read something from 10 years ago, you're like,
damn, things were better back then.
Yeah, that's even worse.
Yeah.
It could be hopeful too.
Like I was, I know that that was as possible.
But I think it would probably lean towards what you're saying of, you see how good it used
to be.
And you go, fuck.
Yeah, 10 years went by.
Yeah.
Things got worse.
You lost all the time.
You wither away.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Just slowly dying a miserable death.
Yeah.
You should start journaling.
And then share on the podcast.
Yeah, dude, we should read them.
It'll be the only way to get me to journal.
I mean, I feel like we'll get, either we'll get a little bit into it and we'll be like,
yeah, I don't want to share this because you'll be putting stuff down that's too personal.
Yeah.
Or we'll be like, yeah, we're going to do this forever.
We're going to journal and share this every episode.
That could be, does anyone else do that?
We're looking for an edge for our podcast.
Sure.
I've never seen a specifically so damn personal.
Oh, man.
I mean, how real do you want to get?
I mean, there would definitely be similar to how we've been talking about like going on
video.
You want to dig into deep personal journals instead of going on video?
I do that before video.
That's fair.
It is again, it is the thing that would be the connective tissue to the real world
for us.
We'd have some identity on the internet then.
That's right.
Listeners, you're never going to fucking owe who we are.
Yeah, we don't have to think about it right now.
Just see this stress in your face like, ponder.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
But hey, how about this?
You start journal and we don't go on video and then 10 years, you see a journal and
you're like, man, I'm really on the edge about going on video and they realize that we
could have been so much bigger if we would have went on video.
Yeah, probably too video first.
I mean, yeah, at some point I think, do something.
Someday.
But yeah, I feel like when we were at the party we went to, I feel like I cornered you.
No, no, don't.
Well, dumb corners me every time.
Oh, that's just dumb, I default.
But yeah, and it just felt easy to jump in on that one.
It's pretty fun to have.
All out of love.
But yeah, it was a good time.
Okay, we dug ourselves into a, we went from, is it true to what happened?
I blacked out.
Let's hop over to the P Diddy thing.
I feel like it's a good palette cleanser for whatever we just got ourselves into.
So apparently in the midst of all this P Diddy freak off stuff and background for the audience
if this episode comes out two years later, it was all super relevant.
P Diddy got caught.
There's a, I don't even know, I don't even honestly have no idea how like this all came about.
People just start talking about it.
Like people who are involved, like, yeah, no, Ditty's like fucking raping me.
Yeah, I don't know who broke it.
Yeah.
But someone did and once they did that, tons of people were like, oh yeah, dude, Ditty
would have these parties and have like barrels of baby oil and people and like taking
it.
Essentially doing what Jeffrey Epstein did to high power people, but to like rappers and
like more pop celebrity people in that area by just having these giant crazy orgies where
he would like, seems like rape people in some of these orgies.
And then someone came out and said, Jay Z raped her while J. Lo watched like fucking crazy.
So crazy.
That would be insane.
Yeah.
Especially if you're like just a person, not to say celebrities have any like status,
but just being like, yeah, no, a mere person.
Yeah, well, I just went to a party and I got raped by Jay Z and Beyonce watched.
That's crazy.
No one's gonna believe you ever.
It's insane.
No one can say it.
Jay Z shot it down immediately.
What do you say?
Well, not like he just denied it immediately.
Oh, what is he gonna say?
Oh, yeah, I did it.
You got me.
No.
Man, has there ever been someone in history that's ever been like, oh, yeah, for sure.
I totally raped that person.
Only anyone has ever done that.
Yeah, probably.
I mean, the closest, we're not rape.
But Louis CK was like, all this is true.
Totally different thing.
Yeah.
I would say that's more of like a, he did a weird, he has a weird sex fetish and miscommunication
happened.
Yeah.
And then he just got called with his pants down kind of situation.
Right.
But like, yeah, that's that.
That's the famous example of one that people just like at the height of the cancel culture
stuff, which is grasping for straws on like, oh, yeah, this guy's raping this guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, P Diddy does all this stuff, has these freakoffs.
There's so many people implicated it from the Jay Zs to the Justin Bieber getting rape
maybe potentially by a P Did like getting like, there's videos, there's videos that start
circulating around like him and P Diddy and P Diddy is like, yeah, you come over to my
house tonight and stuff like that.
And like, in the moment, it seemed like it was joking and now you're like, oh, no.
And then just me was like 17 at the time.
So all this stuff comes out, there's enough evidence to put P Diddy on trial.
So it's now, it's not rumors, it's legitimate.
Recently kid Cutty got called to testify because he had some like, I don't even know why
he got called, but he had enough evidence or was involved on some level that could like
work for the prosecution.
Yeah.
Because I think P Diddy would be the defense in this case.
And he was trying to like give examples of how evil P Diddy was and told a story of how
on Christmas, P Diddy had just found out that kid Cutty was with his ex girlfriend, forgot
her name.
And in out of revenge, P Diddy went to kid Cutty's house on Christmas and opened up all the
kids' presence and then locked their dog in the bathroom and left.
It's just the anti-Santa.
He's the grinch.
He's the grinch.
He's the grinch.
He's the grinch.
That's the grinch brother.
Yeah.
P Diddy is the grinch.
If all the scandals didn't move you, that story should.
Yeah.
It's per evil.
Yeah.
One could argue that that is dark in a way that like, it's twisted.
It's like the IT guy fucking with the dude job.
It's just, it's not as like damaging but it's like almost, it's so intentionally evil.
It's evil for the sake of being evil.
I guess it's revenge.
Yeah.
But like on kids.
Yeah.
One could argue though that it's the most damaging because it's like the action not
like damaging but the compounding damage on that one where kids come downstairs, their
presence are they don't have presence or like the surprises ruined and now those kids
are like the fuck to like like my parents do this or it's some a robber how it like
it's all you just introduce trauma into children's lives out of revenge over like a relationship
dispute.
Right.
I mean rapes also pretty bad.
That's way worse I would say.
I thought that's what you're up now.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying like it's it could argue it's worse like.
It's so much worse.
I guess that just for face value going to someone's house and hoping up their kids presence
I'm like that's fucked up.
But I think it's it but I think it does have damage that would be like fuck we got to
like they they have to work something that damages the family in a way that most people
pricin interpret of like no one's ready for that one.
You don't hear about that one.
Yeah.
And also kind of like pokes at you're like you're the man in the house situation and you
just let another man break in and open his presence.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like I could have fucked you up, but I did it.
Yes.
It's like a message.
Yeah.
And now the kids feel that and now your wife feels that the dog definitely does got locked
in the bathroom.
So it feels that.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's truly like a siop on whoever you're doing it to.
Makes you want to do it to sound like when the villains just like already in your house
waiting for you.
Yeah.
And you just you think you're safe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's kind of crazy.
So anyway, Pity, Pity does that kid, kid, kid, kid, got to testifies.
It's weird.
I just don't like with those things, I know you're trying to sway a jury, but doesn't it
make you feel like?
I feel like we need to get away from because that's sensationalized as something to potentially
unrelated to someone like having freakoffs.
Granted twisted.
Yeah.
What the goal was to show his character?
Yes.
But it's like, it's such a weird thing to do because it's like people can be doing someone
could be doing that evil thing and also not having free goffs, which I totally think
he was having the free goffs.
There's enough stuff to corrorate that.
Like why do we have to lean on like the character assassination on from anyone on any level?
It's like a weird part of our court system that we've allowed to be like human.
Yeah.
Is that a common practice?
Like here's this other thing this person did to show you what kind of person they are.
Yeah.
I mean, when I was on jury duty, they did it to the fucking guy who's been prosecuted for
a-
That doesn't feel like a valid criticism.
Because you're supposed to be very focused on the crime that they're tried for, right?
Yes.
That's where I don't.
At least when I was involved as a jury member, they seemed, they did bring up things like
text conversations about things, trying to like make the guy look really bad.
Which granted the guy fucking essentially sexually assaulted and pregnant a 14 year old girl
needs 45.
So he rightfully so deserved it.
But also it's like I could see that going the wrong way more times.
Or maybe I'm wrong that maybe people just never change and it is-
I don't know if it hurts.
Like do you think it hurts the case somehow by distracting?
Well I think it can wrongfully condemn people if say like you there's a part of your life
where you weren't sober and you're like a fucking maniac and you got sober and you're fine
and then a crime happens that you don't do and someone like uses something you did in the past
and goes like-
So if he was innocent and then they brought this-
Yeah, yeah, and they're like look at this, look at this piece of shit fucking did.
It's like, no, no, no, this guy is- he's not that anymore.
I can see how it could go the wrong way more times than not.
Or people can use things to like paint an image of you that's maybe not true.
But-
Yeah, if it was like a different sexual assault, that would make more sense.
Just the same type of crime.
Yeah, that would be more on board with if Kate was like yeah he raped me.
Then I'd be like yeah, then totally.
But being like yeah he came in my house open like kids presents.
Like that's crazy, but it's not right.
How has that not come out yet?
How did that not come out a while ago?
The present thing?
I don't know.
Maybe because of the threat that P-duty-
It seems like P-duty was powerful.
Seems like he's a menace and a lot of people are scared of him.
So I don't know man.
And maybe this is the only opportunity where Kit Kuddy is like I could see him being put away
and I could be safe.
I say finally confess this.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
It's something.
It's just such a silly crime.
I know.
It is the Grinch.
It's literally the Grinch.
It just makes me smile for some reason.
Well, you're the Grinch man.
You hate children, hate Christmas and happiness and love.
But.
All right.
World War Three.
Let's do it.
I don't even need the fucking notes for that one.
So give it to me.
It's crazy to think that we could potentially be sitting here recording this
and our next episode could be in World War Three.
You think that?
You really think that?
Yeah.
How likely?
Well, likely.
I should say that with the caveat that I don't think we'll experience a full-scale war
like a war war two situation.
Yeah.
But it'll be higher than like a war with Iraq.
For and I'll let me get into the reasons behind those.
But okay.
So.
In the past what two or three years has been all this Israel Palestine stuff escalating,
October 7th, Palestine, Hamas, Attacks, Israel, Israeli, music festival,
essentially terrorist group attacks, people, kills like 200 people, brutal shit.
Israel's.
It was more than that, wasn't it?
It felt like thousands.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Well, then yeah, fuck.
I mean, it was awful either way.
Yeah, yeah.
So kills a bunch of people.
Back story of Israel, Palestine seems like the guy running the show, Benjamin Netanyahu,
who has been on record talking about these things, about allowing money from, I think it's
called Qatar.
I used to Qatar.
Qatar.
Yeah.
Qatar, yeah.
Yeah.
And they have funded Hamas and Benjamin Netanyahu has encouraged them to fund them because he's
on record saying that if Hamas gets bigger and they attack us, there will never be a way to
a two-state solution.
Wait, what?
So, oh yeah.
Yeah.
That's on record saying that.
He wants, why is he supporting funding to Hamas?
Because by them getting funding, Hamas will attack Israel.
And then Israel can just stop him?
Israel can literally go, we'll never have a two-state solution.
We need to keep oppressing the Palestinians.
Okay.
Hamas is their ticket out, which historically countries have done that with terrorist groups.
Like hit me, bro.
Yes, basically.
And they have more than not funded themselves.
Through one way or another, maybe some more indirect, some more direct.
You can find examples with the United States, all of the place.
Okay.
So, there's a lot of implication on Benjamin Netanyahu in the regime that runs Israel on wanting to dominate the Middle East.
I mean, you go back to 2000, late 90s.
Benjamin Netanyahu is on record in front of Congress saying, oh yeah, we want a regime change in Iran, in Iraq, in Libya.
He is saying he definitely does.
Yes, he is.
He has said those things, but he says, but you know, it would bring peace to the Middle East if you do these things.
So essentially, we believe him at the time, which is the dumbest thing ever, and we get roped into fighting.
We believe that he wants a regime change?
No, he says that by doing this, you'll bring peace to the Middle East, which we even know is how to interpret that.
But we bought that, and we decided to, we at least took that and decided to make all of Israel's enemies our enemies, which at that moment, when this was all going on,
that the move was to pull out of all those regions and to let it just be, but instead we continued to back Israel and then go to Iraq and Libya and all these pasts.
Anyway, so long story short, it kind of points at all this stuff going on right now with Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu is kind of like just doing this to dominate the Middle East when there's no real good reason.
With the recent one being that they always say, it's the nuclear weapons, right?
There's a couple of things with this. Iran has been in this nuclear inspection program with, I think, it's either the United Nations or some world organization that we go in and we go and we check.
Do they have nuclear weapons? What are they doing? Nuclear stuff and we go, okay, you're fine.
So Israel does not do this. And Israel, till this day, goes, we don't have nuclear weapons, but every country knows they have nuclear weapons.
So Iran has been under stringent checks for a long time.
But, sorry, a lot of history going on here. In this mix of us all dominating the Middle East, you remember Gaddafi?
You've heard this name before in Libya and people call it the Libya disaster when Hillary Clinton tried to like essentially we got Libya to give up their nuclear weapons.
And what happened is after that we kind of flew in there and St. Jacque and got the leader killed. So since that example where Gaddafi got like Sodomized to death in the middle of the streets, which is the famous example of someone being brutally murdered,
because they gave up all their mutually assured destruction via nuclear weapons. And this will be commonly referred to as the Libya, I think it's the Libya disaster.
So every country knows not to give up nuclear weapons. Because the second you do that, you lose all power in the world. You'll get someone will dominate you.
The United States, Russia, someone will. And so Israel knows that, or at least Benjamin Netanyahu does, Iran has been under this kind of...
Overwatch and they've agreed to it. It's a thing the Obama passed the call to the Iran deal from a long time ago.
Really like, hey listen, you can go up to a certain level of purified uranium, which I think they're at 60% now.
It takes 90% to start making actual nuclear weapons. But they stay at that 60% because it's enough to go if they wanted to make nuclear weapons, they could fast enough to deter.
But they haven't over these years, they haven't moved from that because they know it's enough to deter outside forces.
But Benjamin Netanyahu, since 2000s, there's nuclear weapons over there. Even though we've had a committee go in year after year after year after year and go, there's nothing here.
They just take like, they don't let us inspect certain parts. And they're hiding stuff.
Sure.
And I have what the claim is.
But again, it falls so online within 2000 when they're like, there's weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Right. Right. Right. The same. We know they're there.
And there was none ever there. There wasn't even any being made.
So we're back to the same rhetoric that was used into the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they have WMDs.
We have to go over there. If we don't, they're going to blow everyone up.
And Benjamin Netanyahu is doing that to get us to be involved in this war.
Now, the big update that makes me go, we're going to World War III is that Israel decided to attack the nuclear sites that had this 60% purified uranium recently.
This is what last week.
It was like a few days ago.
Something like that. Very recently blew up a bunch of their nuclear sites. And I ran responded with missiles directly into Tel Aviv.
Saw some videos, crazy knots.
They also assassinated a ton of their nuclear scientists.
Yeah. And so also important that in the middle of this, Donald Trump and I forgot the other leader were in negotiations with Iran to end all this stuff.
And the truth we don't know about, we're going to pause the talks for a little bit.
Yeah, because the attacks happened in the middle of it.
And now the whole thing is there's two sides of it.
Either Donald Trump and I forget the other leader who met with the Iranian leader.
Either they knew that Israel was going to attack as a distraction that the negotiations were distraction for Iran so that Israel could attack during the time.
Which I don't think that one holds up as well. It doesn't quite make a lot of sense.
Or Benjamin Netanyahu, which also I just say, that's Benjamin Netanyahu's rhetoric on this.
Is that, oh yeah, the US knew about all this and were in bed together and this was all planned.
That's what they're telling the world.
Donald Trump is going, well, Donald Trump hasn't said really anything on the issue, living it up to mystery.
But he is continuing to post on Twitter saying that...
He's trying to stay out of it, isn't he?
Well, I thought that. And then he's been posting on Twitter literally saying,
I ran cannot have nuclear sites, which seems way more aligned with Israel, which indicates that means we're probably other than that.
There's been all kinds of different signs that happen as we're about to go to war.
One of the funnier ones is that the Pentagon, the dominoes there, the pizza place, gets the craziest activity than it ever does.
Every time we're about to go to a war because there's so many people working in the Pentagon and they were so much pizza.
So that's one metric, that's a silire metric.
But there's US carrier ships that are organizing around certain areas in the world that are...
We're sending troops over there.
Yeah, as we speak.
So things are getting mobilized.
Yeah.
So I heard Trump also said he wouldn't let Benjamin Netanyahu kill Iran's leader.
Something like that.
We'll see how that goes.
One thing to know that, like...
Aside from the whole world war three thing, Israel does have nuclear weapons.
So if they go crazy and decide that we're not backing them or they want to act on their own, they could just know who I ran.
And I ran thankfully, terribly, thankfully, but I ran couldn't respond with nuclear weapons.
But dude, this is probably the worst it's been since like...
I don't know, the beginning of the Middle Eastern wars.
And again, here's a more dangerous part to this.
With all the other Middle Eastern stuff, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, we had escalation dominance.
I've heard these military officials talk about this where if country does X thing, we do this.
We have something to combat in each move that they take.
Like think of chess, like you have planned out.
We have no escalation dominance with Iran.
Being that we have so many bases, embassies, bases, military all over that region that if Iran tries to start chewing that, we have no way to like...
Protect any of those places.
How is that possible?
How do we not plan for that?
I don't think we thought it was in the cards.
Like we don't have...
Iran attacking?
Well, yeah. We don't have military dominance in that region.
We have military bases and we have embassies.
But if they decide to blow, like literally to start... Like they did with Tel Aviv, we don't have like a sound defense.
It would just all get a blitter out.
So we are unlike the other wars. We're in a much weakened state.
In terms of if we were like, oh, we're gonna go try and take over Iran.
If Iran touches anything American, we're gonna fucking blow them up.
Like, I don't think they're gonna mess with American stuff.
I don't know, man.
It would be so bad for them.
Well, I think it'd be bad for...
They're not as small.
They don't have nuclear weapons, but they're not like a fucking Iraq.
They're a sizeable country with its big military.
I think we'd wipe them out in like a week.
Oh, dude.
I mean, we were in Afghanistan for 20 years.
Right, but like...
And that was like, that's like baby stuff compared to what Iran is as a country.
Yeah.
And I get it that like...
Afghanistan, we were trying to spread democracy, let's call it, not so much as fighting an active war.
I mean, how does Iran compare to Russia?
It's a good question, oh no.
I mean, Russia's scared to act because of us, basically.
Well.
Like to go further than they are.
I mean, they're...
But, so are we, in terms of Russia, though.
I think when nuclear weapons are introduced a lot, the scale of country doesn't matter as much.
Iran doesn't have those.
But it's not...
Iran's army is not like something to be like, that we're sitting on their wipe them out.
I think it's going to be way more crazy.
Yeah, but we have nukes.
Well, that's the next level.
If we decide to use those, that's a whole other thing.
But the fact that we have them and they don't...
Yeah.
Like that's such a heavy deterrent.
Well, the attack Israel and Israel has nuclear weapons.
The theory they don't, right?
I promise you they do.
What?
How do we know that they have them?
There's enough...
I don't know enough about the metrics, but there's enough data on these things that countries can tell if someone's been doing it with the amount of uranium, their mining, the systems that they have in place, and all these things.
And it would be crazy for them not to have it.
Again, it's a probability game.
But if they didn't have nuclear weapons, it'd be way more surprising.
Sure.
And most developed countries in the region do with the rare exception of the ones that we've been like, hey, you should probably like get rid of them.
And then they do and then get invaded like Ukraine.
Yeah.
So...
Yeah.
I mean, we'll see.
But it is...
This is a conflict unlike any we've seen in our lifetime.
This could be the first true war that you and I see.
Time in.
What do you call a Ukraine war?
That's a real war.
Well, we're not.
Oh, you mean with us?
Yeah, like we're...
Our country is an active war with another country.
That's never happened for us.
Yeah, I think it'll blow up.
I mean, I hope so.
I hope that I'm so fucking wrong about all this.
Right, yeah.
I mean, no, it is...
It is crazy.
Like seeing the footage of missiles coming in and just hitting huge cities.
Major cities.
Yeah.
It's pretty terrifying.
Do you see the clip of like Iran's news?
Outlet or whatever?
It's like...
Like their CNN, some anchor was talking.
Okay.
And just they fucking got bombed.
And the anchor just got up and left as debris is like falling.
Be holy shit.
Yeah, that's...
That's fucking terrifying.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I'd hope...
God, they would be so shitty if we actually had to like witness a war.
Or if we had to participate.
I don't think that would happen, but who fucking knows, man.
Could you imagine just like...
We're gonna join up.
Yeah, go fight for my country.
What would you do if you had fun for freedom?
Yeah, that'd be fucking crazy.
But, I don't know.
Just like plead some illness and then never go to the military.
I thought I'd throw my back.
Can't go.
Got chronic backitis.
Well, well, next week when we record...
I will update.
We'll let you know.
See what happens.
But, it would be so crazy though, if like...
Because there's been such a long history of these wars failing.
Like, anywhere we've tried the Middle East, it'd be so hilarious if we just invading
to go over Iran and it all worked out.
Like, it's the war.
It's just America too.
I mean, terrible.
It would be so funny.
Like, this one is just the perfect war.
As literally as we're speaking, I just got an update.
We declare war.
No, it's an article of this 30,000 pound nuclear, not nuclear.
It's 30,000 pound bomb could cripple Iran's nuclear capabilities.
That the US has.
Apparently, we're the only ones who can drop it.
Huh.
It's just a weird dude.
I don't know.
It's just weird.
It's like, why the impact of doing those things?
Again, this is all because Israel.
The long story of this is just that all the Middle Eastern countries hate the way that
Israel treats Palestinians.
Because they consider Palestinians, they're Arabic people for the most part.
So they go, hey, that's fucked up.
That's why there's so much tension.
What's the history of like, what is Israel done to Palestinians?
Like before, before October 7th and all that.
Oh, they've just, I mean, it's, you've probably heard it say it's what an open-air prison.
Essentially, they, where Palestinians are, they don't get to vote.
They, Israel controls everything that goes in and out of their area.
It is literally they have people contained in an area.
So much of how like, think of like a Native American reservation here.
Yeah.
Think way worse to where like, we can't leave.
Yes, they can't leave.
We control anything that goes in there.
They can't vote at all.
It's literally, and the government that rules them, they can't change any of it.
And so literally they're just like oppressing people because they don't want a two-state solution.
And so all the Middle East who are those people, because the whole story is that, you know, Jewish people got pushed there
and took over a land that was like 90% Arabic people.
And we're like, yeah, now we're going to take this because a European commission said, yeah, you guys should go over here instead.
So literally just people displacing people and be like, no, these are ours now.
And so all the Middle East goes, Israel's fucking sucks because they're doing it to the Palestinians and Israel goes, well, we want to keep oppressing these people.
So how about we just dominate all the region with US back?
Yes.
That's literally what's going on.
That's the whole story.
It's fucked.
I don't mean to make it sound simple.
Go read about the history of the entire region.
That is what's going on.
I think a lot of people disagree with that.
It's crazy to, if you start from what happened when, how the Jews, and don't get me wrong, Jews for a lot of history have been ostracized and brutalized.
And the point where they got pushed to Israel is a point where like they feel like they haven't had a place.
They start in Israel?
No.
It's like where everything in the Bible is.
Yeah, no.
But Jews feel nothing associated with Israel.
All the biblical, like Jerusalem, all those cities that's like in the Bible, that's like the start of the Jewish people.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean geographically that they're there.
Because being Jewish is a religion at its core, and people have...
Well, it's a religion and an ethnicity. It's both.
But because they moved there.
Before they were before Israel was a thing, it was just people from the Middle East, like Arabs living there.
They were never there natively.
That never existed.
So where did they come from?
All over.
I mean, there's Jews all across the world.
I don't know where their birthplace was, but it wasn't Israel.
Israel was a constructed thing.
I don't know.
I swear.
Go and read it.
I mean, this is recent history.
This isn't like...
We're not talking.
This is like 19, I think, 50 or 60 when all the Jewish people got pushed to where all there people lived in Israel.
They're like, okay, we're...
Because again, I think it was post-World War II, and then you ever heard of the pogroms?
It's like PO, GR, IMS.
But people were just rounding up Jewish people and murdering them in the streets all over.
They would happen at random times, like mass slaughtering of Jewish people.
Because people...
Throughout all history, then there's so much behind this.
But Jews historically were like a merchant class.
Like they would...
Because of Christianity in some cases, they would say they can't operate in some businesses,
so they can operate in things like bank loans and things that became extremely profitable.
And so, Jewish people became wealthy, and at the only time, ruling classes were wealthy.
Ruraling classes saw that as a threat.
They point the poor, they would go, look at all these Jewish people taking all you shit.
And that has repeated in history over and over and over.
And Jews have been, again, brutalized and ostracized throughout most of history for that reason.
Fast forward to 1950, it's still going on in parts of years with these things called pogroms,
where they just...
Someone commits them that all the problems are due to the Jews, people round up a bunch of Jews, slaughter them in the streets.
Happens at that point, there is mass of a bunch of Jewish people across Europe.
They go, we need a place where we belong, they decide that it is Israel,
and they have...
I think it's the UN or some commission draw plans that they have the right to go be with there.
And that by that ruling, the Palestinian to exist there gets, I think it's at the time, like a 40-60 split.
And all the Palestinians are like, what the fuck are you talking about?
We've been here forever.
Right.
I'll look into it, but Israel is literally...
I guess according to the Bible, that is Judaism, that is where it started.
Israel is a Jewish nation.
Okay.
But I guess they spread across the world and then got forced back there.
Because you're talking the 50s, I'm talking way, way back.
Yeah.
Why do they force them back there?
Well, they suggested that land.
They're like, this is the place we want to go back to, even though it was the populace.
Because that's their origin?
Is that why?
I don't think so.
That's something we've got to follow up on.
But for my understanding, that's not where they came from.
Maybe it is.
Didn't you read the Old Testament?
I mean, didn't you read that for a little bit?
Like.
Yeah.
There is talk about Israel and all that stuff.
Israel is the main dude.
It's like, it's Abraham, Isaac.
Yeah.
It's some other guy, and then Israel.
Yeah.
And then he, like, all of Judaism comes from him.
Yeah.
But I don't know if that has relevance to, like, who's there?
Yeah, I don't know.
That's the thing.
The point being then, the recent history, it was people...
It'd be like, as if we were here right now,
and the Native American population goes...
Right.
Well, that'd be even worse though, because we,
people who came here and killed everyone.
But like, they have a right to know.
Thousands or hundreds of years later, be like,
no, no, this is our room for everyone to take off.
It's still, yeah.
It's like regardless of what happened thousands of years ago.
There's still people there who had nothing to do with anything,
and then just got forced out.
Right.
So that's, yeah, I see that.
And so one way or another, that stuff happened,
and kind of, like, displace a lot of people wrongfully so.
And now it's been this never ending bad.
Well, and the worst case being that the people who move there
dominate the people who lived there before.
It'd be different if they moved there,
and then they just start like, oh, this is...
Now they live amongst us.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's fine, but it's like, no, no, no.
They've created a controlled situation for the people
who used to live there.
And continue that for the past 80 years.
Which is like, what?
Like, imagine if we were doing that to year with Native Americans.
If...
Yeah, no, definitely.
We were like, oh yeah, they can't go off the reservations.
We control everything.
They can't vote.
They definitely can't vote.
And we're gonna prop up terrorist groups to make them start wars with us
so we can actually finally just eliminate them,
because we don't want them here.
That's what's happening.
Yeah, that'd be a bad news.
Pretty bad.
Or if we did it like, like, to like civil war level,
and we did that with black people,
or just kind of like, oh yeah, we're, you know,
we keep them around, but they can't vote.
I mean, we kind of did that for quite a while.
To that for a while.
And then we were like, oh, it's really bad.
We can't do that.
We're letting that happen.
Well, I shouldn't say we, that's going on over there.
I don't think we should be the more the United States has evolved,
the more it gets worse.
So, is what is?
On to something better.
Sure.
How much time do you got left?
Oh, damn, 47.
All right.
Let's find something lighter.
That was a, that was a deep dive into some hellish stuff.
But, oh, how about Lidar?
Have you heard about this?
Lidar, the technology?
Yes.
Absolutely.
Didn't really know anything about this until recently,
because, you know, there's always these new stories about,
like, people finding ancient civilizations well beneath the earth,
because we had no way of seeing deeper,
and mostly around like South America, full of jungles.
And so, like, when you're walking through these jungles,
you have no idea that there's like,
you're walking on top of a civilization,
because typically it's covered in trees, stuff.
And so, they've been using these Lidar's and seeing like miles under the earth
and see like, entire cities,
barriens South America, that a lot of people still haven't even tried to go to.
With Lidar?
Yeah.
Apparently they can use it from satellites and see.
What?
Yeah.
It felt Lidar was like shooting a laser,
having a bounce back,
and then knowing how long that took,
and measuring distance, basically.
Like, doing that in a circle to like map something out.
Oh.
But maybe it's advanced more.
I think so, because the imaging that I've seen from the Lidar stuff is like,
it looks like a, like, it sounds like X-ray almost.
It's like a heat map that can go, like, you can see things underground.
Damn.
It's crazy.
Something that does make sense.
Yeah.
If it can go through dense things.
Yeah, like certain matter.
But it's truly, it's like, there's,
we're now finding so many of these cities,
and it's changing our idea of how long ago humans had been,
but should say, been civilized like people.
Okay.
Because for a long time, it's like, oh, yeah, I don't know.
You know, there was the buy, there was 5,000 BC,
and some like ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley,
and like India and Pakistan region.
But beyond that, everything,
everything that's surface level has degraded by now.
But the stuff in the ground is like fossilized and kept.
So there's like these massive cities that are tens
and tens of thousands of years old,
that in our head we used to go, yeah, nothing was civilized
after like 5,000 BC, or before 5,000 BC.
That's pretty cool.
It's also cool to the fact of like,
humanity could have just gone through this revolution
time and time again, and just keeps like,
petering out and then comes back and then peter's out.
Oh, you think we digress?
Yeah, like, or like nuclear war everyone dies and then evolution comes again.
Humans are put back and it's just this.
We've been through a few, uh, Israel Palestine wars already.
Just wiped the world out a couple times.
Yeah, it's possible.
It's definitely not impossible.
Because the world, the Earth just turns shit over.
Like we would, this is stuff that's like 10,000 years old.
A million years ago, we have no idea what was here.
We just gasped, like, yeah.
The dinosaurs were a thing that's on point and...
Yeah, dinosaurs are fake, too.
That's the makes a whole other topic.
They're definitely not fucking real.
They're just giant birds.
I do like how like up until last year they're like,
yeah, they're just giant reptilian things and all they have feathers.
Have you seen any of this?
Yeah, the T-Rex got feathers.
Yeah, they're like, they're just big birds.
Yeah.
Which kind of makes sense?
A bunch of big birds.
Also, how do they know what they're at?
They fucking don't.
Yeah, they're just like...
Now they have feathers.
The answer is they don't.
Yeah, I feel like the scientists just had nothing that was like getting views.
They got feathers now.
They're like, oh, fuck, yeah.
Fucking birds.
Yeah.
But yeah, so, light earth's tight.
Oh, dude, I forgot I was listening to, but they're saying,
you've heard nonstop, right?
I like the War on Drugs.
It's been a massive failure in general.
And then someone made a great point that was,
how could anyone, everything, the War on Drugs,
could be a success when people in our prison system can get drugs?
You can't control it in a federal prison.
People overdose in prison.
To think that we could do a war on drugs in another country or within here.
It's a thought I've never had before.
Me too, man.
I mean, you got to imagine.
Because what was the goal, like to stop, to just eliminate a little drugs?
To eliminate drug production in other countries of the point where it would never come here,
no one would ever do drugs again.
It wouldn't get to our kids, it wouldn't cause overdoses.
But through the means of the market, it's still there,
even if you take those people off the street.
Yes.
And to the even crazier point of, in the most strict federal controlled sense,
a maximum security prison.
There's people overdosing on heroin.
That's crazy.
Yeah, dude.
Like the hardest of drugs still making it in.
Yeah.
And think about like, how to be harder though, right?
Like.
Oh, I mean, yeah.
But the point is that even under the most controlled situation,
drugs are still like, the need is still being met.
So to think that we could control,
think of all the factors when you try to control in another country,
from another nation.
It's nuts.
Yeah, drugs are here to stay.
They're never going to.
They're so cool.
They're so fun.
They solve all your problems.
Yeah, they're a temporary bandit on everything,
depending on what you do.
But like, such a dumb idea.
I just thought it was such a good, I've never heard that said that I'd have like,
yeah, dude, there's drugs in our prison system.
That's, you would argue, nothing's better, more controlled than like moving humans to cells
and about bananas.
Anyway.
Here's a thought.
And maybe this is a good one.
What are we at?
Okay.
If you wanted to do something healthier,
typically around like, actually, it doesn't, it could be around anything.
Couldn't you just use caffeine to dictate you to that behavior?
Like, food's an easy one.
Cause you could literally buy caffeine powder.
Stimjects spinach with caffeine.
Dude, you could literally buy pounds of caffeine powder and sprinkle on anything.
And you can't taste it.
You just put on like every healthy food you're trying to consume.
Sprinkle caffeine on all of it.
You would add dict yourself to that.
Do you think the fact that you know you're adding the caffeine?
Do you think that would mess with it?
No.
Cause you drink coffee all the time.
Like, caffeine just, it's physically addictive.
But then you have to become addicted to adding the caffeine.
You have to like, build that habit of doing it.
Well, no, you could, you could dict yourself to say,
let's say spinach, for example, like you brought up.
Say you, you start sprinkling caffeine on to where you're eating consistently all the time.
And then you slowly get off the caffeine.
Oh, I see.
And then now you've built it.
Cause it's all around the habit, I think, of doing it.
But you physically want it now because of the caffeine and then you tape it off and then that's a great idea.
Dude, I'm telling you.
And this goes, you're addicted.
So you should start trying it.
Dude, I'm gonna put in everything in here.
But you could even, you could do it with other stuff too.
I mean, like, beyond food, if you just ingest caffeine when you're doing something that you're trying to do more of.
Go, what's the workout ones, an easy example.
But say like, you go study, you drink coffee.
You're just kind of like, you're enhancing the reward system in your brand to go.
This is, I love this.
I mean, I get excited to drink coffee in the morning.
It gets me out of bed.
Yeah, same, dude.
It's pretty great.
And you could even go higher, start doing cocaine with cat activities.
And then really get it going in a bunch of ways.
But that's a bit more expensive kind of a habit builder.
I like that.
What are you gonna use it for in your life?
I don't know.
I gotta buy a, I gotta buy the powder of caffeine first.
I don't know what I'm gonna try it with.
Cause I feel like I already feel like we've talked about you getting off of caffeine so much.
No, no, no, no.
We're talking about buying pounds of caffeine.
Yeah.
I'll never forget.
Dude, people, there's a handful of people who have killed themselves using that powder.
So I'd kind of scared of it.
Because it's so easy to like, think of like a cup of coffee.
That's maybe 100 milligrams.
And that's like, we're talking, I don't know, a dime worth of powder.
If you took like a tablespoon scoop of that fucking caffeine powder and put it in anything,
which is not a big scoop and it's water soluble.
You're eating grams of caffeine, which is just stop your heart.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
So, and people have definitely died doing this.
Exactly what we're talking about.
People have died doing this.
So, we'll see.
So try it out.
I might just use like coffee and try to do it around things or, but we'll find out.
But anyway, anything else before we, uh, what's bothering you lately?
What's bothering me lately?
Uh, well, if I'm being told the honest, oh, which is how do you know I said that?
Open up.
Dear diary.
Well, throw it on my back.
And the, the, I know it's still, well, not silly, but it happens.
When something like that happens around something that you like to do, I throw out my back deadlifting.
There's a fear now with the thing.
And I hate.
It'll never be the same.
Well, that or that'll happen when I go do it again.
Because it's painful.
That experience was very, very painful.
And I know how that works and how it just creates.
The only way to undo that is to get back in the gym and do it, do it enough to wear your confidence again.
But I fucking hate how all things that one moment, and now I'm hesitant to go do it again.
Oh yeah.
I fucking, yeah.
That's one of the hardest parts of coming back from an injury, like even long after you've healed, is just trusting it.
Yeah, dude.
Because like that example of throwing out my back, I felt fine.
It's like there was no part of me that was like, oh, I'm going to experience them.
It's going to really hurt.
It's the surprise of it that's so, I don't want to say traumatic because that feels extreme.
But it just comes out.
It's valid.
Thanks man for validating my emotions.
Yeah.
But it's just like because it's such, it's so sudden and you don't see it coming.
It makes you so unsure about everything in that direction.
Like fuck dude, what if this is, what if something else breaks?
What if I'm out, what if I'm a ligament snap, it's all that fucking crap.
But you just got to push out.
So that's what that's been bothering me.
That's terrifying.
How about you?
I'm bothering you.
I'm pretty at peace.
Great.
My life's awesome.
Yeah, you got to have something.
I know there's got to be something.
Even if it's something small, just what the fuck?
I'm going to my bag of peeps.
You got a bag of them.
I have a huge bag of them.
Massive bag.
Well, you are the Grinch.
You should have a massive bag of peeps.
Whoa.
Just call me Ditty.
AKA Grinch, AKA Ditty.
Do you just have like a peeve list that you put in?
Yeah, I got to stifin' it out to it for a while.
You know, I feel like I was putting them at the top of our Google Doc.
But it's definitely fell off.
It's fell off.
Oh yeah.
Oh.
You can do it.
Believe in yourself to find a peeve.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, my God.
This is a good one that we got.
You ever go to a nice restaurant?
Not even that.
Like, nice ish.
Yeah.
And get pasta, like, tortellini.
Okay.
And then what specific?
They give you fucking four pieces of pasta.
Oh.
This has happened to me, actually my girlfriend, not even me.
But it's happened like three times now that I've seen.
Is there another thing in the dish?
And it's over.
It's like four big pieces, but it's just not enough.
And it's like super fancy like sauce, drizzled good presentation.
And it looks pretty taste great.
Okay.
But it's just not a full meal.
No.
So there's not like a meat in there?
It's just the pasta.
Just the pasta.
Maybe it's stuffed with meat or something.
Got to put it like there's nothing else.
It's not like there's a little...
No, there's nothing else.
It's just the pasta.
No.
That's fucking...
This is happening at restaurants all over the country.
This is...
It's a fucking pandemic.
Damn it.
It's fucked up.
It makes me mad.
Do you say anything?
No, I have any.
I feel like my girlfriend and I talk.
It's happened to like three times and I'm like, God damn it.
Stop ordering tortellini.
Just can't trust it.
I don't know if it's...
Yeah, it's a...
Whenever I...
Or Aviole or something.
One of the like pouch pasta.
Yeah, yeah.
The contained pasta.
I gotta be honest.
I've only had the opposite experience with every pasta dish.
If you go to an Italian place, that's the exception.
Yeah.
They load you up.
Yeah, I feel like every time I get a pasta dish, it's so much pasta.
But like any like nice cool New American restaurant.
Sure.
Yeah, because don't trust...
Don't trust their pasta.
Yeah.
And duly noted.
I mean, I...
I could see it if it's like, you know, one of those Michelin star 13 course kind of like each dish is a small thing.
Yeah, but if it's a small, that'd be fine.
Yeah, but if it's like this is the main dish, we give you a hundred calories.
Worth a pasta.
Right.
Yeah, that's fucking.
That's absurd.
And then they charge you $30 for that.
Something that's pricey too.
Yeah, that's...
We need to get away from that.
I know our nation is so fucking fat.
Keep the portions big.
Well like, dude.
Here's the thing.
There's...
Let people decide.
I know that there's...
Fuck, I don't know.
Ooh, I wanna hear this.
Yeah, I think we should keep this going.
Because this...
This topic...
I think I've gone back and forth on.
And even...
I have opinions on this too.
Hell yeah.
Because I feel like on this podcast, at one point I was like, yo, we gotta stop giving
people insulin because like, we're just encouraging fat.
But then, I think there's a level of like public health and a...
Don't even know.
Against a lot of government stuff.
Certain things like the food that people create and addict us.
People...
It comes down to a level of people beyond choosing.
Where people are so addicted to...
It's so addictive.
Yeah, that like, people can't get off of it.
I've toyed with the idea of thinking just so that I should be illegal, dude.
It's fucking so bad for me.
Yeah.
And so addictive.
Yeah.
I would probably...
At least for...
Maybe like...
Similar to alcohol and tobacco.
Just to have an age limit.
Granted, kids are gonna still get it, but like, you can't be a adult feeding your kid
soda all the time.
From underground kid market for soda would be...
Not crazy.
I'm fifth grade.
Yeah.
That's a grape drink.
You're like, naked moonshine, but just like, fonta.
That'd be nuts.
That'd make it more exciting.
Oh, for sure.
And don't get me wrong.
Prohibition of things typically doesn't work, but at least like, I would make the argument
that making tobacco laws more restrictive...
I feel like in the next 10 years we're gonna see something along those lines with super-altropossess foods,
whether it be soda or like, twinkies, where there's gonna be the same level of like...
Oh, that shit kills.
As opposed to right now, it's like, yeah, go fucking...
Like, very few people I know are like, I'm gonna go get a pack of six.
Like, most people are like, no, that's fucking so disgusting and terrible.
Yeah.
But dude, in Europe, then, all their packs of six have like pictures of cancer.
Yeah, and like, dead fetuses and shit.
Well, yeah.
That's true.
But I would make the argument here though.
It's still the majority of people don't...
The majority used to smoke.
The majority now do not smoke.
Through public, what's...
That's education.
I think it's education.
Because right now, I think most people still think...
There's a lot of people who are like, this has no effect on your health or this is just food.
And people just feed their kids that stuff.
I think most people are trying to do best for their kids.
Mostly just feed them.
And there's so many factors in that.
I don't want a kid likes and, you know, that whole thing.
But it's cheap, it's easy, and it's in-satisfies kids.
But it also like, you know, there's so many things that come with eating twinkies and soda.
Yeah.
As you grow up, dude.
It fucks you up.
It fucks you up.
I'm so blessed to have lived in a family that fed us...
Relative decent food.
Right.
That was a focus.
It was pissed at the time.
Oh, I was like, dude.
Why does Johnny's pantry have awesome stuff in it?
Dude, dude.
Dude, I would go to kids' houses, like, sleep over.
And I would, one, two of my best...
Cosmic brownies, dude, remember those?
It's insane.
That was my black market, I had to find someone with them.
Oh.
Because I never had access to them.
Dude, me too.
My parents were the organic people.
Like people would be to get like anti...
Or not anti-ans.
But it was just all stuff that was like...
Oh, the cream pies?
No, no.
We would have none of that in our home.
We would have absolutely no.
Oh, sure.
But it was just like, you know, like, there was like craft macroni and cheese.
But then it would be like the organic one.
It had like a bunny on it.
But it was always like...
Tastes like shit compared to the super sweet stuff.
And...
Caught my best friends growing up.
One, I would always go to his house.
I'd wake up at six in the morning at his house,
rum to his kitchen, and open their cabin.
They were filled with hostess, the ho-hoes.
Oh, fuck.
I would just eat like six packages of ho-hoes,
throw them in the trash and go back down, go to like...
Pretend like I never did it.
And I would do that at most friends houses.
I can't wait.
Wait, hold on.
You snuck ho-hoes?
Yeah.
Like no one knew at their house.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Dude, because literally...
Dude.
That's another level you're like starving for ho-hoes.
Dude, I got a taste of it.
And I was like, holy shit.
This is a thing.
It's literally a drug.
That reaction has a drug.
Yeah, dude.
When Halloween would happen, we'd have like a short time
where there would be candy in the house.
And I would get from home, get home from school first,
run to the cabinet, send from and eat like 80 Reese's fucking cups.
Just dominate the candy.
Oh, it's down candy.
Yeah, and then like try...
I'd put the wrappers back in there to make it seem like
there was still candy in the thing in my mind.
I'd be like, having what the fuck?
I would eat like 10,000 calories worth of Reese's cups.
But overall, didn't eat a lot of shit.
But the point being how addictive that shit is,
you get a taste of it and you're like,
this is the best thing in the entire world.
Yeah, so crazy.
I just, I don't know, man.
We gotta...
Gotta do something.
So yeah, do we take that away from people?
I don't know.
I think just...
It always changes when there's kids involved.
You know what?
Mexico does, which is actually cool.
I found out when I was there.
Okay.
So just keep going to Mexico.
They removed all the mascots from their cereals.
Okay.
To make them like less engaging for kids.
So kids don't see the commercials and be like,
oh, I want that.
Sure.
Yeah, it's a big part.
To Sam or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I thought that was kind of cool.
That's a good idea.
Yeah.
I think...
I don't know if that solves the problem.
No, but it's a step in the right direction.
Yeah.
Because I think all of that stuff is made to be appealing to children.
Like the commercials, yeah.
Kids love them.
Yeah.
They're fucking fantastic.
It's always parents don't want to do something to kids.
And it's always kids eating it in the commercials.
It's never an adult eating like fucking cornpuff.
Right.
They're just marketing shit to kids.
Yeah.
So I think that's where I start.
I hate to say it.
That's where I start to go.
We should have some regulation that protects children in that matter.
That goes, hey, these companies are trying to poison kids.
And they're not old enough to decide.
They don't have the...
Oh, this is going to ruin my future.
Yeah.
Like let's help our children in that way.
But...
Yeah.
There was a movement to do that.
There's a documentary called Way to the Nation.
It's just about obesity in America.
It's pretty sad.
It was made like 10 years ago.
Side note, in this documentary from 10 years ago,
they show people and bring them on to talk that are obese people.
Yeah.
And then you look at them and you're like compared to nowadays.
They're like nothing.
Holy fuck.
Yeah.
It gets way worse.
Dude, there's this picture that...
Oh, sorry.
I mean, you're still going.
I think you're talking about like the fatdest guy in the world.
Exactly.
People are like the 19th generation.
People are like the 19th generation.
People are like the 10th generation.
People are like the 19th generation.
Yes.
And he just looks like an American.
You're like a casual fat guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Sorry.
But what he's saying about the dash.
Shit, I remember where I was going.
And the folks, they...
People started organizing to be like these ads to kids are fucked up.
Yeah.
And they like started speaking from a Congress and stuff.
They formed some group.
And fucking lobbyists just shut it down.
Yeah.
All the big money in the companies.
Yeah.
So let me play Devils Advocate on all of this.
Sure.
Schools, public schooling, were most of America's children are educated.
There is...
So every school has a cafeteria, right?
Every school feeds their kid food.
Good softball.
Thanks.
I must got that wrong.
There is a point in time where because of public schooling and it's a government enterprise,
it's extremely not profitable and not good at its job.
It doesn't educate kids pretty well.
And the metrics are obvious when you look at those things relative to private schools.
When you actually pay for an education and people are invested in what they're...
The consumer is essentially paying for the product and invested in it.
The...
The...
The food system for schools, there is at one point.
I forgot what was going on but the...
The kitchen's there.
Couldn't afford good foods.
And the government started going around and saying like,
we can't give you enough money for your cafeteria.
And at that time, big corporations like Kraft and...
Any of the bigger food ones we know today, Nabisco, all that stuff, stepped in and said,
oh, whoa, we'll pay for our cafeteria food.
And start filling it with things like cookies and pizza and all these things and...
Great market opportunity.
Dude, you raised the youth on your food through school.
But it's a failure of government.
But because they control the education system,
that in a private school situation, that doesn't happen.
Because the school has prospered because the need is great enough.
So people are paying for the school's survive.
So it will have food for their cafeteria.
It's because the public school system was failing that they had to lean on and outside...
Not in the best interest of them.
That's just swooping and saying.
And people look at that though and they go, oh, yes,
it's these corporations that swooped in and did this.
No, you made a system that's not profitable.
So something that doesn't have the interest of the kid in mind to subsidize the whole thing.
They don't care about the kid's health.
But if you take any private school, those cafeterias are more invested in children's health
because the people... It's a business.
It has to depend on the consumer.
Right.
Okay, I missed where you said, how was the public school failing?
Like, why did companies have to swoop in?
There was something going on where there was not enough...
I got to find it.
But at some point, the government was like, if you don't,
we don't have enough money to give you...
For the cafeteria or...
It was through some means of the school didn't have enough money.
A budget cut maybe or something?
Some, they didn't have enough money overall and unless they started leaning on corporation from XYZ,
it would fail.
And then a bunch of kids would not have schooling.
But again, I think that's a symptom of the issue, not the true issue of...
You probably, these systems where no one wants to put their kid in and it doesn't quite work out.
So is that a pro-private school argument?
Yeah.
Which then, there's examples of this going to like...
You've heard of like Harlan Prep in New York.
So a lot of people when you talk about public education, they're like,
well, if we don't have public education, kids won't have any schooling.
And there's evidence like Harlan Prep is an example in New York and one of the worst parts in Harlan,
which historically has been a very terrible part of New York,
where a bunch of people essentially organized, they call them storefront schools,
where the schools were failing and a bunch of the community got together
and people who were making out that much money,
educated kids in a way that you would look at and go to top level education
from like a private school.
By just...
Real.
Investing in this very, very small thing.
Happening in the Bronx as well in like 1960s.
And that happens more when you get rid of the public school system.
Because on mass scale, if you say...
People step up and teach.
They do.
People that don't have the certification do, the people like literally go out of their way to educate children.
Which for most grades up until...
That's beautiful.
Dude, it's great.
And this...
You'll find endless accounts of that.
That's gonna say you can bring a community together.
What are you just gonna say?
Like up until a certain grade.
Yeah, yeah.
You can find educators.
Yeah.
And if they don't have the qualifications.
And even be...
You could make the argument through high school at a certain level.
You can find people who can...
Who are smart enough in those communities and anywhere, frankly.
And it's those situations that happen over and over again when the public school system has failed.
And in the grand scheme of things, those don't happen a lot.
Because if you have kids, you're penalized by not going to public school via tax.
Your tax money goes to funding education.
And I think back in the 60s, it's like you're paying about 3,000 to 4,000 a year for education.
And for families who are not in the 60s, low income.
That's a good chunk of money.
So if you suddenly don't have to pay that money, private schools now become way more affordable.
And there's way more private schools in the system that people can actually afford to do those things.
And so things like Harlem Props exist way more frequently.
Things like the Bronx School exists way more frequently.
There's also different levels of it.
And it's just nuts, man.
There's probably education's a whole fucking mess.
Private school is typically more expensive, right?
Yeah, but because public school takes up like 96% of the market.
They have a monopoly out of public school.
So if public school were less, private school would become more affordable.
Yeah. And again, even in this monopoly market situation,
you have things like Harlem Props in the Bronx School, which are not expensive.
And our things that communities, people typically care about their kids.
You can find an example of people not caring.
Most people really invest in their children.
And when they see an opportunity to help, they capitalize on it.
That has proven true over all of humanity.
Yeah, and I believe that.
Yeah. And so when people see these, you know, it's just crazy for people to be like,
we got to save public education and you look at any like inner city school
where that's where most of public education is.
And see what's going on.
How can you ever advocate for it?
It's terrible.
People graduate college that are illiterate, or not college,
high school that are illiterate in inner cities.
They graduate those kids.
It's like, I feel like most people graduate.
Yeah, mostly because it's a matter that the government goes,
you know, when you need these kids.
Yeah. And they don't actually do anything.
Gotta have good grades.
Yeah. It's just a de-insentify system.
Like there's no incentive to educate these kids.
It's just, yeah, we're going to educate your kids.
And I'll start as a private interest anyway.
All schools started from like the Rockefeller organization
or like, or foundation where they just wanted to help
kids getting better at education.
And eventually the government just took over.
So that's where school started?
Yeah. It was all private.
Same with like the roads in the beginning.
All private.
At some point, government just goes,
we're going to take this.
And then we're ruins it all.
I guess isn't that like a good intent though?
Just gone wrong.
Like for the government being like,
hey, we should standardize this.
Make sure everyone can get education.
Sure.
But what is that worth?
No, it's not worth anything.
But I'm just trying to think of like how it developed over time.
Because they probably thought it was a good idea.
And probably not for like selfish reasons.
I think it's a mix.
I think there's some people who truly believe it's good.
And I think there's some people who know that this is a way to take control of a system.
You think even back then?
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I guess yeah, you're taking control of education.
I mean, I always think of like the, I've talked about before,
but the example of a,
when standard oil was like,
supposedly had a monopoly on all of oil in America.
And I think that's John Rockefeller who owned that company.
But he had like 60% of the market.
And there's enough people who are like,
all of it.
They're a monopoly.
They control the oil.
And it was typically because they're just doing such a good service.
Most people were buying oil from them because they,
they fucking got their shit together.
Right. They were doing so much better and selling for so much cheaper than any other company.
So they're like, oh, yeah, we're going to buy from them.
And then somehow they convinced Congress to,
it was the first anti-trust laws to break up a company.
And they created this oil commission that essentially had ownership over all oil in America.
Just new monopoly.
Yeah.
And a monopoly that can use force.
They don't have to do good by anyone.
They can just truly exist and be like, nope.
Can't do anything.
So that happens with big industries that government calls monopolies all the time.
And in those, at least in standard oil, definitely bad intentions.
Because the people who are saying we got to make these anti-trust laws know that there's a huge financial component
to owning all of the oil in America.
And those situations too, if you ever drill into them and go, this is helping people.
The company who was doing really well was helping people.
That's the only way.
The only way for them to do well is to help people better than other companies.
But no, it's a greedy corporation.
Yeah, that's the same shit.
It's the narrative.
So we're going to add on a good note.
Yeah.
It's a good one.
Well, it was all over the place.
I liked it.
It was pretty nice.
How about a lot of ground?
Something that made you happy this week.
How about we add on that?
Bring back.
I have no emotions, happy or sad.
I'm always fucking happy.
I don't know.
I'm cranking out improv classes.
If you couldn't tell listeners, I'm fucking quicker.
He's quick, man.
I just kidding.
I don't think I showed that.
But now it's a good time.
Just a bunch of adults being silly.
It's great, man.
For a couple hours a week.
Yeah, it's play.
Yeah.
You actually get to play.
At least you're inner child.
Yeah, dude.
What are they going to make you join?
I know.
One of these days.
I will.
But that's a good way to end.
What about you?
I don't know.
Fucking.
Self is good.
Overall.
Just now, no.
Summer's here.
It's nice.
Fucking summer rocks.
Chillin.
It's good stuff, man.
Life is cut.
It is.
We live by a lake in a beautiful place.
I feel like, and maybe we cut this because it feels so privileged to say, we are living in
like the top 1% of the world.
We're living the dream right now.
We're not getting bombed.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yes, baseline.
Not getting bombed.
But we, we, dude, there's places in the earth that are so poor, they're like, not that this
is so fucking, you know.
Look at us.
But it's crazy to think about that.
Our norm is this.
Like chilling on couches in a nice apartment near the water in a big city.
That's the norm for us.
That's in sangs.
Pretty sweet.
We could have been born to like the slums in India.
We were rolling around and shit.
The more people I meet from Andia and that just hearing the stories they tell about it, it's
crazy.
It makes me very grateful that I live here.
I think I told you my dad went there last year for some work thing.
He had to go.
He's like, yeah, you don't want to.
He's like, you'll see levels of poverty that shake you.
You'll see children in situations that are like, if you live in a world that's like a
first world of country, you go, it seems impossible that that can be happening.
It's that level of poverty of like people on the verge of death in piles of shit poverty.
Yeah, just on the street.
People ignoring it.
Yes.
And there's, and there's, and it's packed with those people.
It's not just like a couple.
It's like you're dated.
There's hundreds of children in those conditions.
And they're begging you for months.
It's so nuts, man.
Even going to Mexico City, not at that level, but just seeing the streets are just lined
with people just at their little shop that they might work at their own life selling
trinkets.
And it's like, damn, glad to live here.
Me too.
On that note.
Hey, man, breath.
Keep those borders up.
And we're off.
