  Audio shared by Testecleese: Max over the… Who are fake dudes?
• 0:23
  Audio shared by Testecleese: I am not suicidal!
• 0:26
  Audio shared by Testecleese: We'll circle back with you directly. I can circle back, I'll circle back Do not come.

• 0:36
  Audio shared by Testecleese: I'm gonna come.
• 0:38
  Testecleese: Alone.
• 0:39
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Welcome to episode 338 of the Jeffery.
• 0:42
  Testecleese: Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
• 0:44
  Brian McFadden: And I'm Brian.
• 0:46
  Testecleese: I want two guys, drink about… drinking some beers, talking about what's going on.
• 0:49
  Audio shared by Testecleese: And of course.
• 0:50
  Testecleese: Brian, we decided to hit record right as I need to pee, but that's kinda how we do things, isn't it?
• 0:56
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 0:58
  Testecleese: We put… we… it looks like we put a little bit of thought into this, but that's exactly what happens, we put in a little bit of thought.
• 1:04
  Brian McFadden: Right,
• 1:07
  Testecleese: I'm just curious, if we actually put it in a full-time effort.
• 1:12
  Testecleese: not even a full-time effort. If we both put in 20 hours a week to making this show better, I bet you we could actually get some listeners and, everything, you know?
• 1:19
  Brian McFadden: Possibly.
• 1:22
  Testecleese: Yeah. Our time's more valuable than that, unfortunately.
• 1:25
  Brian McFadden: So, I see here that Al Gore was right, 20 years late, but he was right.
• 1:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, I don't understand.
• 1:33
  Brian McFadden: I don't understand how they consider him right if it took 20 years for this stuff to come true.
• 1:38
  Testecleese: What do you mean, come true? Polar bears are supposed to be extinct by now. There's more on the planet than ever documented. The ice caps were supposed to have melted, and everyone except for, like, Appalachia was supposed to have drowned by now.
• 1:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, you're just gonna be safe.
• 1:54
  Testecleese: Yeah, realistically, Appalachia's, like, the only part of the United States that would survive a global flood, but…
• 2:01
  Testecleese: That's a different conversation altogether.
• 2:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Testecleese: Oh, the world…
• 2:05
  Brian McFadden: I shared this article because it was so ridiculous, you know, the ABC came up with this as a story.
• 2:11
  Testecleese: And right after the EPA came out, I said, no, we were totally wrong on all these predictions, right?
• 2:17
  Testecleese: I'm pretty sure we mentioned that last week, didn't we?
• 2:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Testecleese: I thought it was ridiculous when you shared that, and I was like, literally the opposite just came out.
• 2:26
  Brian McFadden: I know!
• 2:27
  Testecleese: And the fact that my house isn't underwater!
• 2:31
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:31
  Testecleese: Because the ice caps didn't melt!
• 2:33
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:35
  Testecleese: Because that was supposed to happen, what, like, 6 years ago or something dumb?
• 2:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:40
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 2:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, it drove me nuts. It's like, oh no, they were right, it's unfortunate. What do you mean, they were right? You're still alive, dude.
• 2:50
  Testecleese: Alright. Mangrione is back in the news, he's about to hit trial.
• 2:56
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:57
  Testecleese: His attorney came out, and I don't know why his attorney would be speaking to the media, or maybe the media got wind, or maybe the media was there when
• 3:06
  Testecleese: They presented their defense.
• 3:09
  Testecleese: But they were gonna go with some kind of, like, psychiatric thing, I guess? Yeah.
• 3:14
  Testecleese: Wow, wha… Mental health defense.
• 3:18
  Testecleese: But then, within, like, a day and a half, they withdrew that defense.
• 3:22
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 3:24
  Brian McFadden: Guess he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in an insane asylum.
• 3:27
  Testecleese: Just like this dude who killed Irina Zerutska?
• 3:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Testecleese: So, the…
• 3:34
  Testecleese: The fact that you're gonna bring up one defense, and then withdrew it right away tells me that you don't… that you're grasping for straws.
• 3:43
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 3:44
  Testecleese: What defense does he possibly have for walking up behind someone and shooting him in the back of the head with a gun that he built at home and drove across state lines with?
• 3:53
  Brian McFadden: No idea.
• 3:54
  Testecleese: Like, the only defense he had was, I'm fucking crazy.
• 3:59
  Testecleese: If you're not gonna claim that, you may as well have just pled guilty and got a lesser sentence, right?
• 4:04
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 4:08
  Testecleese: I don't know, I don't know, am I missing something here?
• 4:11
  Brian McFadden: We don't know everything, we're not following it that closely, so, I mean…
• 4:15
  Brian McFadden: We're just seeing the headlines as they pop up randomly.
• 4:19
  Brian McFadden: So it seems like… Seems like we don't have the whole story here.
• 4:23
  Testecleese: Maybe, but that seems… that's how we do this show in general, and it seems like we're 5 steps ahead of the average person anyway.
• 4:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Testecleese: That doesn't necessarily mean… necessarily mean we…
• 4:33
  Testecleese: We are 5 steps ahead in every situation, but…
• 4:39
  Testecleese: I mean, this guy has no defense for what he did.
• 4:42
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 4:45
  Testecleese: I swear to God, if this guy gets convicted and people start going fucking nuts defending the fucking…
• 4:50
  Testecleese: The, the pretty white boy.
• 4:53
  Testecleese: from going to prison, because of discrimination, I'm gonna lose my shit.
• 5:01
  Testecleese: Jeez Louise.
• 5:03
  Testecleese: That ridiculous… You, it's Italian unibrow he's got.
• 5:11
  Testecleese: Okay, you remember that school that we talked about way back in the day when Charlotte Kirk was killed, which was, like, a year and a half ago? We talked about this school that had this rock.
• 5:22
  Testecleese: And apparently, it's, like, a thing to paint it.
• 5:25
  Testecleese: Right. Yeah, it's a thing, but you have to get permission from the school, etc, etc.
• 5:32
  Testecleese: Well…
• 5:33
  Testecleese: We talked about this group that had painted it as a Charlie Kirk Memorial, got permission, and then it was painted over immediately, and the students… Yeah, the students were disciplined, right?
• 5:44
  Testecleese: For, like, what, a radical message or something?
• 5:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, the school now admits that they were completely wrong for doing what they did.
• 5:55
  Testecleese: And, you know, they've overturned any discipline on these kids' permanent records, but they still spent.
• 6:01
  Brian McFadden: I'm out of school. Oh boy. Wow.
• 6:05
  Testecleese: Well, they still spent time out of school.
• 6:08
  Testecleese: Now, if you're… if you're a piece of shit.
• 6:10
  Brian McFadden: And they had to do with the humiliation of, being disciplined like that, too, you know? Being singled out for painting on the rock, that's something that not everybody agreed about.
• 6:21
  Testecleese: And if…
• 6:22
  Testecleese: Nevermind, I thought this was a different case. I was about to say, I thought this had something to do with when everyone walked out of school in protest of something else.
• 6:30
  Testecleese: But I don't think this has anything to do with that.
• 6:35
  Testecleese: But it's just good to see at least the school admit they were wrong, because…
• 6:38
  Testecleese: for the longest time, they said, no, you're a Nazi.
• 6:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 6:42
  Testecleese: that, well, maybe… Maybe these folks are realizing that just using extreme rhetoric isn't getting their point across.
• 6:54
  Testecleese: And shoot, why don't we go ahead and put… Nazi.
• 6:59
  Testecleese: In the same category as the other N-word.
• 7:02
  Testecleese: Words that should not be spoken, and even if you are explaining at a board meeting what words you're not allowed to use at work.
• 7:10
  Testecleese: If you say them to say this isn't the word, you're still gonna lose your job, Papa John.
• 7:16
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 7:19
  Testecleese: So everyone who comes out and yells Nazi, we can just, you know, kick them out of school, just like they're dropping the N-bomb on black folk, you know?
• 7:29
  Testecleese: Because that's what it's turned into, it's turned into a slur versus a description… a descriptive word, you know?
• 7:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, I am gonna try to get rid of this pressure in my bladder.
• 7:43
  Testecleese: you know enough about this next Supreme Court case, about the Second Amendment?
• 7:46
  Brian McFadden: I actually read this one when I shared it. Ha! Ha!
• 7:49
  Testecleese: Oh, no, I read a lot about this, and it's.
• 7:52
  Testecleese: Way more complicated than I thought.
• 7:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 7:55
  Testecleese: But… The end result…
• 7:56
  Brian McFadden: Basically, somebody sued the government, saying that just because he was a marijuana user, he should still be able to own a gun.
• 8:05
  Brian McFadden: And the Supreme Court ruled on the case this week.
• 8:09
  Brian McFadden: Stating just that, that yeah, that can't be the only reason why the person can't get a gun.
• 8:16
  Brian McFadden: They said it's a very narrow decision, but, you know, it's a major decision, because that was a lot of… one reason why a lot of people refused to, you know, get their medical marijuana card.
• 8:28
  Brian McFadden: Because they were afraid if they got that, they'd be on a list somewhere, and they wouldn't be able to buy a handgun or a rifle sometime down the road in their future.
• 8:37
  Brian McFadden: You know, because there'd be that stigma of being a marijuana user on there, but Supreme Court said that's not the case, it's not a federal thing, so even if you do smoke marijuana in a state where it's legal, you can still get a gun. I guess that means that, Hunter Biden's case is going to get overturned, too?
• 8:56
  Testecleese: It doesn't even say in a state where it's legal. It's saying that, yeah, this is the…
• 9:03
  Testecleese: wide ruling.
• 9:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, and it… I had some issues with this.
• 9:12
  Testecleese: when I read… the rules… Then I looked at the Supreme Court ruling, and I was like, ugh…
• 9:19
  Testecleese: And basically, they came down to, like, bits and pieces of what felony-type classes can… are… are actually.
• 9:28
  Brian McFadden: And this happened, very weirdly, because this was a unanimous decision.
• 9:33
  Brian McFadden: How many decisions in the Supreme Court these days are unanimous?
• 9:37
  Testecleese: Actually, isn't this, like, the third in a row?
• 9:39
  Brian McFadden: Maybe, but it… before… that doesn't happen very often.
• 9:43
  Testecleese: Well, it used to happen a lot more.
• 9:45
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Brian McFadden: When people were willing to talk to each other and debate and discuss.
• 9:51
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 9:52
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, it ultimately comes down to what class of a felony it is.
• 9:58
  Brian McFadden: invited.
• 9:58
  Testecleese: Trump rescheduling marijuana and moved it from one felony class to another felony class.
• 10:05
  Testecleese: But if you're caught, selling marijuana.
• 10:09
  Testecleese: by the federal agents, you're still not going to be allowed to buy a gun. This is basically if you have a bag at home, and you smoke up once, you know, every night before bed.
• 10:20
  Testecleese: Or if you… if you have plants in your yard, like, 2 or 3 plants.
• 10:24
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 10:24
  Testecleese: They're not gonna take away your rights.
• 10:27
  Testecleese: Now, I would like to make the argument that this could expand more broadly to…
• 10:33
  Testecleese: Tie voting rights directly to this.
• 10:37
  Testecleese: in terms of when do you lose and when do you gain back voting rights, and I'd like to make the argument that
• 10:43
  Testecleese: When you get convicted and go to prison for a…
• 10:46
  Testecleese: a prison sentence. That they shouldn't just… you shouldn't just get how many years of prison, you should also get, okay.
• 10:53
  Testecleese: He was 10 years… federal prison.
• 10:58
  Testecleese: You know, you know, prison, prisoner, inmate.
• 11:01
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Testecleese: 15 years, you can't vote.
• 11:05
  Testecleese: 17 years you can't own a gun.
• 11:08
  Testecleese: I would actually like to see this come out, because this is actually allowable under our Constitution. For the very fact that a court can say you can't own a gun or you can't vote, we could be setting
• 11:19
  Testecleese: Different, penalties on this, on top of, instead of… instead of that you can never vote again, you can never own a gun again.
• 11:29
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 11:30
  Testecleese: Why not say, you know, okay, you made some bad decisions when you were 19, 25, fucking 30,
• 11:37
  Testecleese: What… in 10 years, you clean your life up.
• 11:40
  Testecleese: Why can't you vote again and own a gun?
• 11:45
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 11:47
  Testecleese: Just my opinion, where do you stand on that idea, as it stands now.
• 11:52
  Testecleese: You need to file paperwork after so many years after getting out of prison to get these rights back.
• 11:59
  Brian McFadden: I think I'm still on the paperwork side, you know, because, I mean, if you don't have the initiative to, you know, do the paperwork and request your rights back, you probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.
• 12:12
  Testecleese: Yeah, but who are you requesting your rights back from?
• 12:17
  Brian McFadden: The garage.
• 12:18
  Testecleese: It's whoever's sitting in office that day, and it's usually not the governor or the president making that decision.
• 12:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 12:23
  Testecleese: It's somebody who has partisan views one way or the other.
• 12:28
  Testecleese: working in the, ATF, right? Right.
• 12:35
  Testecleese: I don't think the government should have that much authority. I think it should… if you have your gun rights removed for crimes, I think there should be a time… instead of, again, instead of file paperwork in 15 years, we'll see what happens.
• 12:47
  Testecleese: It should be, you could file, you can… buy a gun.
• 12:52
  Testecleese: All you have to do is a background check.
• 12:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Testecleese: And it'll show up in your background check, it's like, yeah, they were, you know, until such date, they weren't allowed to own a firearm, but it's the day after that, you know?
• 13:05
  Testecleese: This is just me, though,
• 13:09
  Testecleese: Maybe this is my libertarian coming back out, you know, what can I say?
• 13:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:16
  Testecleese: Oh shit, okay, I saw, like, 4 stories about this, I think you shared it, I'm not sure.
• 13:23
  Brian McFadden: I was shocked about this a couple weeks ago, yeah.
• 13:25
  Testecleese: Oh, is that… okay, maybe…
• 13:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, and then Animal Control knew these dogs were a problem, but they didn't do anything about it, and it killed somebody.
• 13:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, these dogs mauled a woman to death in Florida.
• 13:40
  Testecleese: Husband couldn't stop it. She manages… that's right, you even said, she saved her dog from these dogs, right?
• 13:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah,
• 13:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, I understand, and… Good on you, lady, but…
• 13:55
  Testecleese: You, as well as I, that dog would be fucking bait.
• 13:59
  Testecleese: your little lap dog would be bait to get those dogs away from you, and you know it as well as I, wouldn't it?
• 14:06
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 14:07
  Testecleese: I'm sorry, buddy, I love you, but you're dying today, not me.
• 14:10
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 14:11
  Testecleese: But, yeah, apparently these dogs have attacked other people in the neighborhood more than once.
• 14:21
  Testecleese: And… I guess these dogs turned up dead?
• 14:27
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 14:28
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, well, the husband of the woman that was killed is being investigated.
• 14:32
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 14:33
  Testecleese: They're not sure… they're waiting for a necropsy to come back, because they.
• 14:36
  Brian McFadden: Maybe this is a different dog attack, then. I don't think it's the same dog attack.
• 14:42
  Testecleese: Well, maybe.
• 14:43
  Brian McFadden: Maybe it is, I don't know.
• 14:44
  Testecleese: I'm not sure, because I was like, this sounds super familiar.
• 14:47
  Brian McFadden: It does sound familiar.
• 14:50
  Testecleese: But yeah, now they're looking at the husband of the woman who died for killing these dogs after the fact, and I was like.
• 14:56
  Brian McFadden: We'll send the dog back.
• 14:57
  Testecleese: Why weren't they destroyed by the.
• 14:59
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly. They should have been in the pound and already being euthanized.
• 15:06
  Testecleese: I'm telling… especially in Florida, how many… there are more guns in Florida than people, right?
• 15:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 15:13
  Testecleese: Why didn't he come out and shoot both these dogs to death? Thing is, it was 2 AM, too. But why didn't he come out and shoot both these dogs to death when they were murdering his wife?
• 15:26
  Testecleese: Now, Brian, I know you're not a big gun guy, but up there in Michigan, you understand how shit works. If you got 3 coyotes ripping your wife apart, you're grabbing your shotgun, aren't you? Your little 16-gauge.
• 15:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. So, funny thing, funny story here, I downloaded the Michigan State, you know, DNR app to, you know, go ahead and set up.
• 15:45
  Testecleese: I love it!
• 15:46
  Brian McFadden: I get my fishing license and stuff like this, but here's the funny thing. When I put in all my information, it found my hunter safety course from 1980, and put it into the app for me.
• 15:58
  Testecleese: You know what's funny about that is, they made it a big deal that I have to keep my little piece of perforated paper they tore off when I passed my Hunter's education course.
• 16:10
  Testecleese: I still… I keep it in my wallet, I really shouldn't, but you have to have it on you if you're hunting or fishing.
• 16:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, mine's in the app. I'm like, I did that class in, like, 6th or 7th grade.
• 16:20
  Brian McFadden: It's true.
• 16:21
  Brian McFadden: A couple years ago.
• 16:25
  Brian McFadden: Couple 20, 30, 40.
• 16:28
  Testecleese: I just…
• 16:30
  Testecleese: Oh, I don't have my wallet on me. I just don't like that my hunting license says DNR on it.
• 16:36
  Brian McFadden: Right, right, do not resentate.
• 16:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, do not res… I'm out with guns in the woods, other people out with guns in the woods. Please resuscitate!
• 16:44
  Brian McFadden: Yeah!
• 16:47
  Testecleese: But I was like, what the fuck? It's like, oh, Department of National…
• 16:51
  Brian McFadden: resources. But I just laughed when I logged in, I set it all up, and there it was. I'm like, wait a minute, this is my actual 100 safety course from 1980.
• 17:00
  Testecleese: Yeah! Hey, Brian, you wanna go down the thing?
• 17:03
  Brian McFadden: Michigan keeps better records than I thought!
• 17:08
  Testecleese: But yeah, exactly. It's like, boom, here you go.
• 17:11
  Testecleese: I don't know about where you are, but I have to keep my 100 safeties, certificate on me.
• 17:16
  Brian McFadden: Well, it's in the app, so I can just show them in the app now, as long as I got my phone.
• 17:20
  Testecleese: I was gonna say, you guys got cell service everywhere?
• 17:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, pretty much. Where I would be hunting and fishing, I would.
• 17:27
  Brian McFadden: If I went to the Upper Peninsula, that might be an issue up there, you know, but…
• 17:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, I keep forgetting it's Michigan and not the mountains. Michigan is a lot flatter.
• 17:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yup.
• 17:39
  Testecleese: But yeah, we have giant dead zones here. Like, if I go a couple…
• 17:44
  Testecleese: shoot 300 yards from the house, I lose…
• 17:46
  Brian McFadden: I've driven through them. I've driven through them.
• 17:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, and you lose cell signal for hours.
• 17:51
  Brian McFadden: I had the SOS service, you know? I could text an emergency if needed, and that was it.
• 17:59
  Testecleese: You're like, where the fuck am I?
• 18:01
  Brian McFadden: In a national park, did they refuse to put cell towers in?
• 18:06
  Testecleese: I know, I know, I… I… it's funny.
• 18:08
  Testecleese: literally, I literally live in the middle of a national forest.
• 18:13
  Testecleese: It is on both sides of me, the mangonella…
• 18:19
  Testecleese: National Forest. It's… what is it, like, 80…
• 18:24
  Testecleese: Oh, shit, I want to say 80,000 acres, but for all I know, it's 800,000 acres. It's enormous.
• 18:31
  Testecleese: But I drive through parts of that that are hours without cell signal, and then the George Washington forest between Virginia and West Virginia, or between Virginia and Hampton, Virginia, and here.
• 18:45
  Testecleese: is ours.
• 18:47
  Testecleese: of the same kind of roads, and I'm pretty sure you drove through the same forest coming from Virginia to come here.
• 18:53
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 18:54
  Brian McFadden: Oh, sure did.
• 18:56
  Testecleese: Oh my goodness.
• 18:59
  Testecleese: We didn't almost run out of gas, but we got to a point, and we said, we better start looking for a gas station, you know?
• 19:06
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 19:07
  Testecleese: When you see houses, like, there must be a gas station SOMEWHERE!
• 19:12
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 19:14
  Brian McFadden: These people can't not ever get gas.
• 19:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, and just adds up for everyone to say, there are houses. I don't mean, like, suburban Massachusetts.
• 19:24
  Testecleese: I mean, you know, every couple miles you see a house, or five.
• 19:29
  Testecleese: And that's it.
• 19:31
  Brian McFadden: The neighbors aren't close to you.
• 19:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly. Ugh.
• 19:38
  Testecleese: Alright, sorry. Sorry to get way off topic, but I just… I'm loving living out here in the mountains, dude. It's…
• 19:46
  Testecleese: I feel less threatened by anything. I… I feel like I have a better chance of survival against nature than…
• 19:54
  Testecleese: Man's machinations.
• 20:00
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 20:02
  Testecleese: Okay, so what's up with this spy thing?
• 20:05
  Testecleese: That just lapsed.
• 20:07
  Brian McFadden: That's FISA.
• 20:09
  Brian McFadden: So, they're more limited.
• 20:11
  Testecleese: Foreign Intelligent Security Agency?
• 20:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they're still gonna spy on us.
• 20:16
  Brian McFadden: You really don'.
• 20:17
  Testecleese: Oh, no, it'.
• 20:17
  Brian McFadden: buy-in.
• 20:21
  Testecleese: Well, I mean, does this affect the FISA courts?
• 20:24
  Testecleese: Because that's what bothers me, these secret courts that no one's allowed to hear about. I'm like, that doesn't sound like a fair court system to me.
• 20:33
  Testecleese: but wha… I don't know, do… do we need FISA?
• 20:41
  Brian McFadden: Probably not. They said that it was another one of those after 9-11 things that was set up.
• 20:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, can't we just put this under frickin', Department of War?
• 20:51
  Testecleese: and label it.
• 20:53
  Testecleese: confidential… confidentiality as needed?
• 21:00
  Testecleese: Darn it. I don't know.
• 21:02
  Testecleese: It sounds like we don't necessarily need… FISA.
• 21:09
  Testecleese: Because realistically, the only thing I've seen FISA do since they've been…
• 21:13
  Testecleese: Put into place is put people into, prison for being terrorists without any kind of trial that anyone could see.
• 21:20
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 21:23
  Testecleese: This is a big argument the Democrats had in, like, the 90s, I think, right? Or, no, it wasn't the 90s, because it didn't exist until 2001.
• 21:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 21:32
  Testecleese: Right?
• 21:32
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 21:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, Obama put it in place, the Democrats got pissed off because it was secret.
• 21:41
  Brian McFadden: Noah Bush put in place.
• 21:43
  Testecleese: Was it Bush?
• 21:44
  Brian McFadden: Bush was in office for 9-11.
• 21:47
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, no, oh, you're right, before 9-11. Maybe Obama had to re-sign it?
• 21:51
  Brian McFadden: Probably.
• 21:53
  Testecleese: And then Trump was… Trump tried to re-sign it, but the Democrats said no.
• 21:58
  Testecleese: Because we don't give a shit about national security if we can't have people walking across the border unchecked, right?
• 22:04
  Brian McFadden: Right,
• 22:06
  Testecleese: Which is the opposite of Pfizer.
• 22:08
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 22:08
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 22:10
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 22:11
  Testecleese: Dear God, dude.
• 22:14
  Testecleese: You know, I swear, I swear I am trying to have these libs with these ideas.
• 22:21
  Testecleese: These thoughts on the show.
• 22:23
  Brian McFadden: Nobody'll come.
• 22:24
  Testecleese: They won't come on. Cause they know they don't know what they're talking about.
• 22:31
  Testecleese: Problem is, I told one dude about the show, and then he went and checked it out for, like, 3 weeks.
• 22:36
  Testecleese: And I was like, hey, you wanna come on? And he's like, no, he's like, I hate what you guys are doing, you guys are assholes. And I was like, okay, and this is that Sean dude.
• 22:45
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 22:45
  Testecleese: I was like, well, come tell us why we're wrong. He's like, no, because I can't… I don't know enough of what's going on. I was like, so for all you know, I'm fucking right!
• 22:54
  Testecleese: You know?
• 22:56
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 22:58
  Testecleese: And you're… you're pissed off about that, that… the fact that I don't know what's going on…
• 23:04
  Testecleese: Means you're wrong?
• 23:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 23:08
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 23:13
  Testecleese: You know what? I had intended to, but I forgot to bring up a reel of chickens clucking.
• 23:20
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 23:22
  Testecleese: Completely forgot, but Vance apparently was on The View.
• 23:25
  Brian McFadden: He was on every show this last week. He did all the talk shows.
• 23:29
  Testecleese: Was this supposed to have something to do with the… he steal with Iran?
• 23:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, it's ended up that way, but he just released a book.
• 23:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's supposed to be his book, right?
• 23:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it was supposed to be all about his book, but yeah.
• 23:43
  Testecleese: But he's on The View, and…
• 23:45
  Testecleese: Well, he really shut those fucking hens up, actually, didn't he?
• 23:48
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, that was good.
• 23:51
  Testecleese: Awww.
• 23:53
  Brian McFadden: He probably won't be invited back anytime soon.
• 23:57
  Testecleese: Well, the thing is, Joy Behar told him he should run for president, apparently offstage.
• 24:03
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 24:04
  Testecleese: And he's a… he's good for a Republican.
• 24:08
  Testecleese: I guess the rest of the view, like, tore apart the next day, or a couple days later.
• 24:13
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 24:16
  Testecleese: But… They posited ridiculous ideas, and he explained the point of view of the Republican Party.
• 24:25
  Brian McFadden: I don't know if he's done enough as vice president, and even got his name out there enough to be nominated as president, you know?
• 24:34
  Testecleese: Oh, I think Marco Rubio has a way better chance of getting the nomination.
• 24:38
  Brian McFadden: I do too.
• 24:39
  Testecleese: Then…
• 24:39
  Brian McFadden: He's out there all the time, too, speaking around the world, you know, as Secretary of State, so…
• 24:45
  Brian McFadden: And people know him, he's been on the public scene a lot longer than J.D. Vance.
• 24:50
  Testecleese: You're right, he's been around a lot longer. He was a congressman for how long?
• 24:55
  Brian McFadden: turn.
• 24:55
  Testecleese: And, yeah, exactly. And, Secretary of State's not a…
• 25:01
  Testecleese: Small role in the federal government.
• 25:04
  Brian McFadden: No, I bet he's home… I bet he's home, like, maybe one week a month, if that, you know. He is on his plane, flying somewhere all the time.
• 25:14
  Brian McFadden: putting out fires, especially with the Iran thing. I'm sure he's been on the go, go, go.
• 25:20
  Testecleese: Okay, first of all, I want to make a couple jokes about that. First of all, JD Vance said that…
• 25:28
  Testecleese: the leaders of Iran are nasty negotiators, but the women of the view were way worse, and they managed to handle them.
• 25:37
  Testecleese: And it's funny, because the women on The View actually took it as a compliment.
• 25:41
  Brian McFadden: Of course they did.
• 25:44
  Brian McFadden: Because they're idiots.
• 25:46
  Testecleese: Yeah, and Rubio,
• 25:50
  Testecleese: at least when he's flying around the world that's for work and not to go on vacation, he's putting out fires when he flies around, instead of letting fires burn when he flies around, like California governors, governors do, you know. I'm sorry, it was the mayor.
• 26:04
  Brian McFadden: Mayor. Mayor.
• 26:06
  Testecleese: The mayor was in South America, I think, was it, or was it Africa?
• 26:12
  Brian McFadden: Someplace in Africa.
• 26:14
  Testecleese: Yeah, Ghana or something like that.
• 26:19
  Testecleese: When the fires were occurring, it's like, wow.
• 26:23
  Brian McFadden: She knew before she left.
• 26:24
  Brian McFadden: There was a distinct possibility of forest fires.
• 26:27
  Testecleese: And, okay, you find… you hear that, oh, we'll take the risk. When you come back once the fire started.
• 26:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, you should! Most definitely.
• 26:40
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 26:43
  Brian McFadden: Not her.
• 26:45
  Testecleese: So… But yeah, Vance is actually… he… he quelched…
• 26:51
  Testecleese: The, the upsetness, the… the angst.
• 26:55
  Testecleese: Of The View women, which is unheard of, let's be real. And only Whoopi called him racist.
• 27:04
  Testecleese: One of them told him he should run for president, which I could have sworn you guys told us, a year and a half ago that he was just as bad as Hitler.
• 27:12
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 27:16
  Testecleese: I'm having a tough time believing you women, you know?
• 27:19
  Brian McFadden: Exactly. They say one thing and do something else.
• 27:22
  Brian McFadden: There, they change their story, you know, as fast as they can.
• 27:26
  Brian McFadden: When it's convenient.
• 27:28
  Testecleese: Here's a… A sad story.
• 27:32
  Testecleese: Yeah, Major Oak.
• 27:35
  Testecleese: It is the massive oak tree famous in the Robin Hood stories, back… way back in England, I believe it was 1200 years ago?
• 27:44
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, a 1200-year-old tree.
• 27:46
  Testecleese: 1200-year-old tree in Sherwood Forest was killed, and it says killed, it was 1200 years old, oak tree.
• 27:54
  Brian McFadden: They're killed by too many tour visitors.
• 27:57
  Testecleese: Well, they're saying that people were going up and touching it, and the sheer walking up to it…
• 28:04
  Testecleese: Over 1,200 years, all of these feet.
• 28:07
  Testecleese: With body weight upon them, walking up to the tree, compacted the dirt like concrete.
• 28:13
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 28:14
  Testecleese: So… so moisture wouldn't get down to the tree?
• 28:17
  Testecleese: But they're pointing out that, like, the structures they built to try to support the tree, didn't help it. Problem is, they shouldn't have tried to build it up to support the tree, they should have cut off dead parts of the tree.
• 28:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 28:29
  Brian McFadden: They don't… nobody does that anymore.
• 28:32
  Testecleese: Yeah, you cut off the dead part and let the live part continue to get sunlight, instead of trying to spread… instead of trying to spread the nutrition to everyone, let those who work survive.
• 28:45
  Testecleese: So, yeah, this… 1200-year-old tree, famous tree from the Robin Hood stories.
• 28:52
  Testecleese: Is considered dead. They're not sure, because it… Let's be 100% fair here.
• 28:59
  Testecleese: Sometimes trees take a little longer to sprout.
• 29:03
  Testecleese: Maybe it's on its dying leg, maybe it's a whatever, but…
• 29:08
  Testecleese: Instead of trying to support this tree, why don't you go to cut off the definitely dead stuff, go up there and till the earth around the base of the tree, and water it.
• 29:18
  Testecleese: But they won't do that either, will they?
• 29:20
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 29:22
  Testecleese: No.
• 29:24
  Testecleese: Alright, you shared this,
• 29:27
  Testecleese: I… don't give a shit. I have never once in my entire life seen the Jack in the Box.
• 29:35
  Brian McFadden: I have. I was not in there twice in the last week.
• 29:37
  Testecleese: And I remember as a fact, I think it was the 90s, maybe it was the late 80s, Jack in the Box got in a lot of trouble when someone ordered, like, french fries and got, like, a fried rat or something.
• 29:47
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 29:48
  Testecleese: I'm pretty sure that's what rules are.
• 29:49
  Brian McFadden: That's a delicacy.
• 29:51
  Testecleese: Mmm.
• 29:52
  Brian McFadden: But, no. I mean, this is a West Coast, Shane, you've never been stationed on the West Coast, so you wouldn't…
• 29:57
  Testecleese: No, but I've been to California, I've still never seen… I've still never seen a Jack in the Box.
• 30:01
  Brian McFadden: They're everywhere in California, them and Del Tacos.
• 30:03
  Testecleese: I was in the LA area.
• 30:08
  Brian McFadden: I was number 3 in line.
• 30:11
  Brian McFadden: To get in when they opened up for the very first time.
• 30:15
  Testecleese: Was it any good?
• 30:17
  Brian McFadden: It's not bad.
• 30:19
  Brian McFadden: They're one of those places that eventually they'll be open 24 hours a day, and they serve their breakfast menu 24 hours a day, in addition to their lunch menu. You can order anything onto their menu at any time.
• 30:30
  Testecleese: Oh, alright.
• 30:33
  Testecleese: Yeah, but it's a drive-through, so it's probably not a…
• 30:38
  Brian McFadden: Well, there's inside places to sit during the daylight, you know?
• 30:42
  Brian McFadden: There is a diamond.
• 30:43
  Testecleese: Probably not getting, eggs and bacon breakfast at, you know, 6 in the… I say 6 in the morning.
• 30:48
  Testecleese: 1 in the morning.
• 30:51
  Brian McFadden: You could. I mean, it's gonna be, like, you know, bacon, egg, cheese, biscuit, or croissant, or a burrito-type deal.
• 31:00
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Brian McFadden: So, yeah.
• 31:01
  Testecleese: Yeah, like a Duggan Donuts, does it?
• 31:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, alright.
• 31:04
  Testecleese: Okay. Yeah, like I said, I've never even seen one, let alone been into one.
• 31:10
  Testecleese: But all I can remember is that big scandal they had way back in the day with, like, there was, like, a full-on… not even, like, a piece of a rat, like, a full-on fried rat.
• 31:18
  Testecleese: Instead of french fries.
• 31:22
  Testecleese: Pretty much ruin their name.
• 31:24
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 31:26
  Testecleese: But…
• 31:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're making a comeback. We're gonna have, like, 5 of them owned by this same…
• 31:32
  Brian McFadden: Indian family. They own almost everything. They own, like, a hotel right behind where the Jack in the Box is, so they own the whole property, so…
• 31:42
  Brian McFadden: Must be nice to have that kind of moment.
• 31:44
  Testecleese: Are they at least American, too?
• 31:47
  Brian McFadden: Probably now.
• 31:49
  Testecleese: Probably now.
• 31:51
  Brian McFadden: And we looked it up. To start a Jack in the Box franchise, you gotta have $1.7 million.
• 31:57
  Brian McFadden: To put into it, and then, like, $50,000, $60,000 liquid.
• 32:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, same thing with, like, a Burger King. You need something like a million, half million just to apply for the, franchisee license, and then you have to actually
• 32:14
  Testecleese: Build the Burger King.
• 32:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 32:17
  Testecleese: Then yes, you own it, But it's not your rules.
• 32:21
  Brian McFadden: Right, you gotta follow the franchise, you gotta follow the corporate rules.
• 32:26
  Testecleese: And let's be real, Burger King, McDonald's…
• 32:31
  Testecleese: Whole bunch of them are pretty well established.
• 32:34
  Testecleese: you're probably gonna make money. Jack in the Box is making a comeback.
• 32:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 32:39
  Testecleese: This is either a really good chance to make a shit ton of money, or lose a ton of money. Right.
• 32:45
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 32:47
  Brian McFadden: Only time will sell.
• 32:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's tough to compete against Burger King McDonald's, let's be real.
• 32:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Testecleese: You know?
• 32:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, there's a McDonald's across the road from it, so…
• 32:56
  Testecleese: Well, there you go. Prime example.
• 33:01
  Brian McFadden: This could have been in follow-up.
• 33:03
  Brian McFadden: Right here, because we did talk about this story in the past. This is the, the guy that deployed after he got elected to the school board. He did some.
• 33:11
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 33:12
  Brian McFadden: school board meetings virtually when he could, but eventually he couldn't do it virtually anymore. And then people on the school board were so pissed that they couldn't vote stuff through like they wanted to, that they asked them to resign.
• 33:25
  Brian McFadden: He did not resign.
• 33:28
  Brian McFadden: And this… Lisa Kane, whoever she is.
• 33:32
  Brian McFadden: She's a lawmaker here in Michigan.
• 33:37
  Brian McFadden: She's the House GOP Conference Chairwoman.
• 33:41
  Brian McFadden: She…
• 33:42
  Testecleese: And she's targeting deployed active duty members.
• 33:45
  Brian McFadden: No, she was the one that came out and said to the school board that it was wrong for them to do that, that they were trying to remove a conservative colleague from missing meetings while on deployment in the Middle East.
• 33:56
  Testecleese: Hmm.
• 33:57
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 34:00
  Testecleese: Does this… does this matter?
• 34:02
  Brian McFadden: Not anymore, he's back.
• 34:06
  Testecleese: Oh, he's wonderful.
• 34:07
  Brian McFadden: over.
• 34:10
  Testecleese: Has that screwed anything up with his vote back?
• 34:15
  Testecleese: Oh, jeez.
• 34:15
  Brian McFadden: I was just saying that, you know, calling it, it was…
• 34:19
  Brian McFadden: A stupid distraction that shouldn't have taken place.
• 34:23
  Testecleese: Oh, it was a giant waste of everything, and you guys ignored everything else. Okay.
• 34:28
  Testecleese: Well, over here, there's some country singer, I don't know country, I don't give a shit, I don't like it, but people do.
• 34:36
  Testecleese: This guy, Charles Wesley Gotland. Godlin.
• 34:42
  Testecleese: Apparently raised a big stink about Country Roads Take Me Home by John Denver.
• 34:47
  Brian McFadden: Yup, however.
• 34:47
  Testecleese: That's ridic.
• 34:48
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 34:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, how everyone says the song's not actually about West Virginia, it's about Western Virginia?
• 34:54
  Testecleese: This guy threw a shit fit, basically.
• 34:58
  Testecleese: Because he had to communicate with the family of John Denver to do this, like, extra song he wrote that, like, tied in with it.
• 35:08
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 35:08
  Testecleese: own tour.
• 35:10
  Testecleese: And they all said, no, it's about West Virginia.
• 35:14
  Testecleese: I mean, the geography… For the most part, could be either state.
• 35:20
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 35:20
  Testecleese: But everyone says John Denver said it wasn't, and no one can actually show me the video of him saying that.
• 35:28
  Testecleese: Apparently, apparently it's these guys, about these guys driving through Harper's Ferry.
• 35:34
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 35:35
  Testecleese: What is that, where, like, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia all meet, basically.
• 35:40
  Brian McFadden: It's all part of that area, yeah.
• 35:43
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 35:44
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's about his trek, west from there, and… Writing about what he saw.
• 35:52
  Brian McFadden: Does it really matter? I mean, it's just a song? Why… what's the big blow-up about it? Why is he so mad about it?
• 35:58
  Testecleese: Well, because there's a lot of people that swear it's not about West Virginia.
• 36:03
  Testecleese: It's about Western Virginia. West Virginia is a bunch of fucking inbred hillbillies that, you know, fuck their sisters.
• 36:11
  Testecleese: Is their argument?
• 36:14
  Testecleese: And it's like, it's the most beautiful scenery you're gonna see in this fucking country.
• 36:20
  Testecleese: And that's why he wrote a song about it, you know?
• 36:26
  Testecleese: We got… two sheriff's deputies over here in, Berkeley County, which is… 2-hour drive from me.
• 36:37
  Testecleese: They got picked up for fraud charges.
• 36:41
  Testecleese: Multi-million dollar fraud scheme.
• 36:44
  Testecleese: And… I can't quite remember exactly what they did.
• 36:48
  Testecleese: Oh, I'm sorry, they were stealing, taxpayer funds and misappropriating, conservator account assets. So apparently these cops were, like.
• 36:59
  Testecleese: Taking taxpayer money to, like, for, like, you know, like, gang cleanup or whatever.
• 37:04
  Brian McFadden: Wow.
• 37:06
  Testecleese: And paying themselves.
• 37:08
  Brian McFadden: That's… okay, sounds like fraud, definitely.
• 37:12
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 37:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, they've been picked up. They're gonna be going to prison pretty soon.
• 37:22
  Testecleese: And dude, we're gonna come back to this soon enough.
• 37:29
  Testecleese: But this, foiled terror attack in DC.
• 37:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Brian McFadden: Mother called it in.
• 37:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, yes, but the people… of the peop…
• 37:42
  Testecleese: the guy said he was looking after, like, capitalists and billionaires, right? And then he mentioned, Shelley Moore Caputo, or Capito?
• 37:52
  Testecleese: Jim Justice, as well as, Miller, Kara Miller and Riley Moore. So that's, both senators from West Virginia and two congressional representatives from West Virginia. If you want to talk about wealthy billionaires, let's not
• 38:06
  Testecleese: West Virginia, right?
• 38:07
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 38:13
  Testecleese: And we're definitely gonna get into this, because, Brian, I wanna talk to you about what happened in the,
• 38:20
  Testecleese: In DC in general, but this…
• 38:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 38:23
  Testecleese: Trying to create a flow.
• 38:28
  Testecleese: But anyway, that moves us on to what happened in Virginia, because.
• 38:31
  Brian McFadden: This is a stupid… I leaked at this article and actually read the damn thing.
• 38:37
  Brian McFadden: This study says that Virginia's the third most likely state to survive an alien invasion, and they're saying it's…
• 38:43
  Testecleese: shared this, and I only read it because I thought it was fucking stupid. Did you see the two states that beat Virginia?
• 38:49
  Brian McFadden: Maryland was one of them!
• 38:51
  Testecleese: Massachusetts is the other!
• 38:54
  Brian McFadden: How are they gonna survive without any guns?
• 38:59
  Testecleese: What's funny, they mentioned specifically Virginia was because all the military.
• 39:03
  Brian McFadden: Military, yeah.
• 39:04
  Testecleese: And it says, specifically, extraterrestrial aliens, not illegal aliens.
• 39:09
  Brian McFadden: Right, yep, yep.
• 39:12
  Testecleese: I was like, what?
• 39:13
  Brian McFadden: I'm like, who's got time to come up with these stupid studies and get paid for it?
• 39:20
  Testecleese: First world problems, huh?
• 39:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 39:23
  Testecleese: You're not worried about eating or staying warm. You're… you're…
• 39:28
  Testecleese: Spending your time figuring out which states can handle an extraterrestrial invasion better.
• 39:35
  Testecleese: And I'm telling you, where I am has a better chance, because the aliens are gonna have a tougher time
• 39:40
  Testecleese: Finding anything.
• 39:43
  Testecleese: Mass… Massachusetts?
• 39:46
  Testecleese: Ranked higher… higher than Virginia, and military was on the list.
• 39:52
  Testecleese: What military.
• 39:53
  Brian McFadden: There's not much military left in Massachusetts. Constellation.
• 39:57
  Testecleese: the Constitution.
• 39:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 40:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, okay.
• 40:01
  Brian McFadden: a world of.
• 40:02
  Brian McFadden: Great, the Navy's over.
• 40:05
  Testecleese: 250-year-old wooden boat.
• 40:08
  Brian McFadden: With cannons. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:11
  Testecleese: 200-year-old cannons in it!
• 40:17
  Testecleese: Old Ironside!
• 40:18
  Brian McFadden: Ha ha ha.
• 40:19
  Testecleese: No, no, that's fucking great in 18… oh, sorry, 1776.
• 40:24
  Testecleese: But, you know, you know our actual modern ships are actually made of iron!
• 40:32
  Testecleese: Oh my god, dude!
• 40:36
  Brian McFadden: The things that come across our news feeds are just ridiculous.
• 40:41
  Testecleese: But I was like, Wisconsin has a better chance of a defense against…
• 40:45
  Brian McFadden: And what about Montana, or some of these states that are in the middle of the country, you know?
• 40:52
  Testecleese: That's what I was thinking with Wisconsin, that border's Michigan, right?
• 40:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yep.
• 40:57
  Testecleese: There's nothing out there. It's fucking cows, and a bunch of guys with guns.
• 41:03
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 41:05
  Testecleese: Which is what I thought Michigan was, and so they decided voting Democrat.
• 41:09
  Brian McFadden: We'll see. I bought the vote in the primary here in August, so…
• 41:12
  Testecleese: Oh, you're gonna be the swing vote?
• 41:14
  Brian McFadden: I hope so. Me and my wife.
• 41:16
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 41:16
  Testecleese: Alright, let me grab a beer, tell me what's going on.
• 41:20
  Brian McFadden: So, we… the DOJ is suing, Virginia because now that we… the state has a Democrat governor again, she put this law in effect that says that federal agents aren't allowed to wear masks.
• 41:36
  Brian McFadden: And so, once again, we got a state trying to tell the federal government what they can and cannot do in the state.
• 41:44
  Testecleese: Not even that, dude, it brings me up to the argument that they tried… they forced us to wear masks for how long?
• 41:52
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 41:54
  Brian McFadden: But now, it doesn't fit their narrative now, so…
• 41:58
  Testecleese: Now it's illegal to wear a mask!
• 42:00
  Brian McFadden: Right. Even though it's still random… not… actually, since I've been in Michigan, I have seen no one wear a mask.
• 42:07
  Brian McFadden: It was in Virginia, you'd still see them randomly, but nobody in Michigan wears a mask.
• 42:12
  Testecleese: That's because you're not in the city. You were next to the city.
• 42:16
  Testecleese: You were in the city of Virginia.
• 42:19
  Testecleese: Now you're in the fucking country.
• 42:21
  Brian McFadden: Yes, I am.
• 42:22
  Testecleese: The people around you have guns instead of dust masks.
• 42:26
  Brian McFadden: The best internet I can get is Starlink, you know, that's how country I am, so…
• 42:32
  Brian McFadden: Which works fine, works great, I have no complaints about a lot of people.
• 42:36
  Testecleese: It seems to work… it seems to work well enough, at least for what we're doing.
• 42:40
  Brian McFadden: Yo, nope.
• 42:41
  Testecleese: I mean, we're not absorbing a ton of, bandwidth, but I'm certain
• 42:47
  Testecleese: We're using a significant data portion, doing.
• 42:50
  Brian McFadden: We are when we're on Zoom, definitely, yeah.
• 42:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's it, because we're doing video back and forth, and that no one else is seeing, that we don't have to be doing.
• 42:57
  Brian McFadden: Right, but it makes the show more interactive for us, so…
• 43:02
  Testecleese: Yeah, because I can see your reaction, and laugh, and keep going, or whatever.
• 43:05
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 43:05
  Testecleese: You know?
• 43:10
  Testecleese: But yeah, this is… I don't understand why…
• 43:13
  Testecleese: Spanberger thinks she has the authority over the President of the United States. Like, I'm pretty sure, the Civil War…
• 43:22
  Testecleese: Was the changing point of this when it became.
• 43:25
  Brian McFadden: You would think. But I think… When the federal public… Is the Civil War still taught in school?
• 43:31
  Testecleese: No, in terms of when the federal government Always took precedence over state.
• 43:37
  Testecleese: Because, I don't know, I don't know if you realize.
• 43:40
  Testecleese: The federal constitution of the United States used to only apply to the federal government.
• 43:47
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 43:47
  Testecleese: Individual states could still take your weapons from you.
• 43:51
  Testecleese: But then after the Civil War, that was when the federal government said, no, no, no.
• 43:57
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 43:57
  Testecleese: And actually, it was over guns, believe it or not.
• 44:00
  Testecleese: You just… you can't just own slaves. These guys are allowed to defend themselves, etc, the whole…
• 44:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 44:06
  Testecleese: They have rights to thing.
• 44:08
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 44:11
  Testecleese: Which is crazy, watching these people make arguments.
• 44:17
  Testecleese: that contradict themselves in terms of the history, you know? Right. They don't know how any of this shit worked, they…
• 44:24
  Testecleese: They've been pampered their entire lives. They've never had to work, they've never struggled, and that's why they can come out
• 44:32
  Testecleese: on a fucking Wednesday afternoon, for 5 hours.
• 44:38
  Testecleese: And bitch about the government.
• 44:40
  Testecleese: Because they don't have to be at work to pay their fucking bills.
• 44:44
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 44:46
  Testecleese: Oh, no, they're poor, too. Obviously not, because they have somewhere to go home tonight.
• 44:51
  Testecleese: You know?
• 44:52
  Testecleese: If I don't pay my mortgage, I don't get to go home. If you don't pay your rent, you don't get to go home, you know, et cetera, et cetera, down the line.
• 45:04
  Testecleese: Why should I give you access to my… Gains.
• 45:11
  Testecleese: Unless you're willing to put in some of your gains, you know what I mean?
• 45:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I got it.
• 45:16
  Testecleese: Just like in a real, true communism.
• 45:19
  Testecleese: the lazy are kicked out or executed, depending on the size of the communism you're talking about. If we're talking about, like, United States communism, and as far as…
• 45:30
  Testecleese: 20 people to go live in the fucking national forest alone?
• 45:36
  Testecleese: The lazy will get kicked out.
• 45:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 45:39
  Testecleese: Because everyone else dies supporting them.
• 45:43
  Testecleese: Whereas in Soviet Union, they got executed for the same reason.
• 45:47
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 45:50
  Testecleese: Well, how you gonna kick him out of…
• 45:52
  Testecleese: Soviet Union from Moscow, you know what I mean?
• 45:55
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 45:58
  Testecleese: boat's a lot cheaper than, the gasoline to get them out of the Union.
• 46:02
  Testecleese: And this is the thing, a lot of these… Communists don't realize is They think…
• 46:08
  Testecleese: They think by taking all of Elon Musk's money today, we'll solve the entire world's problems forever.
• 46:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 46:17
  Testecleese: It wouldn't even feed the hungry on the planet.
• 46:20
  Testecleese: For a week.
• 46:24
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 46:25
  Testecleese: Now what? Now you've taken the chief moneymaker from the planet off the map.
• 46:31
  Testecleese: Which means anyone who works for him is no longer making money.
• 46:37
  Testecleese: who's going to pay for all these programs you want so bad? You know?
• 46:43
  Testecleese: Now, now you have to pick up a fucking shuffle.
• 46:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 46:48
  Testecleese: And that… no, I wanna be a fucking artist, man. I'm gonna play my guitar when we hit the communist, utopia. No, no, you're gonna be breaking fucking rocks, because you don't know how to weld, you don't know how to plumb, you don't know how to fix a car, you don't know how to repair a computer.
• 47:06
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 47:07
  Testecleese: You're gonna smash the rocks, and then someone else is gonna come and look inside of it and go, yeah, bring this piece over there, bring that piece over there, because they recognize what's inside of it.
• 47:17
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 47:19
  Testecleese: There's no place for art in a communism.
• 47:23
  Testecleese: Surprise.
• 47:23
  Brian McFadden: Who does.
• 47:24
  Testecleese: first. Survival comes first.
• 47:27
  Testecleese: You need wealth for art.
• 47:32
  Testecleese: But, you know… I'm a nutjob, huh?
• 47:35
  Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, you're a wacko that lives out in the middle of nowhere.
• 47:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, which, by the way, I'm thinking about bringing back our predictions page, dude.
• 47:43
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 47:44
  Testecleese: We were… Well, we were something like 85-90% the time we did it.
• 47:50
  Testecleese: I think… I think we've gone up in, probably.
• 47:55
  Brian McFadden: Probably.
• 47:57
  Testecleese: Wow.
• 47:58
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 47:59
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 48:02
  Testecleese: Richmond's Democratic Socialist Leaders Waged Decades-Long Warren. Oh, yeah.
• 48:11
  Testecleese: The fucking… commies.
• 48:15
  Testecleese: in Virginia, trying to… not even… no, it's not even Richmond, Virginia, I think it's Richmond, Washington.
• 48:21
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's not Richmond, Virginia.
• 48:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, it shouldn't be where it is. I just saw Richmond.
• 48:26
  Brian McFadden: That's fine, huh.
• 48:27
  Testecleese: They're trying to push, Chevron out for, you know, destroying the planet.
• 48:31
  Brian McFadden: Actually, California.
• 48:32
  Brian McFadden: This is Richland, Richmond, California, yeah. They've been there for decades, they've supported the economy with billions of dollars over these years, and because it's California, they're trying to push them out, and…
• 48:45
  Brian McFadden: A lot of people are gonna lose a lot of high-paying jobs if they go to Texas.
• 48:49
  Testecleese: And that's the thing, is these people are like, oh, the oil company runs the gov… runs the people here, or whatever, and it's like, you mean the job?
• 48:58
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 49:00
  Brian McFadden: They're not gonna get another high-paying company in California anymore, because they're all fleeing the state as fast as they possibly can.
• 49:07
  Testecleese: Why would anyone move in?
• 49:09
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 49:10
  Testecleese: The only… the only thing you're gonna get is startups.
• 49:14
  Testecleese: That have to deal with California regulation.
• 49:17
  Testecleese: Which is… which means the startup's gonna fail, because they're dealing with Chevron regulations, you know?
• 49:23
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 49:26
  Testecleese: Oh, you ran your fucking electric grill 9 hours today?
• 49:31
  Brian McFadden: Good luck.
• 49:31
  Testecleese: That's a $5,000 charge. It's like, I'm a fucking restaurant, you only use natural gas!
• 49:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 49:39
  Brian McFadden: Thankfully, they can put natural gas in their restaurants again.
• 49:43
  Testecleese: The problem is, these folks don't realize, is… You're not just losing the…
• 49:49
  Testecleese: tax base of Chevron, you're losing…
• 49:53
  Testecleese: the taxes… okay, I'm gonna assume that the paychecks of the employees is Chevron tax, too, but you're losing out on the tax the state would bring from these people spending their money.
• 50:04
  Testecleese: And paying their bills. Now they're unemployed and taking money from the government teat.
• 50:12
  Testecleese: Where's the government gonna get the money?
• 50:14
  Testecleese: To pay for all this if you chase out everyone bringing money in.
• 50:20
  Brian McFadden: That's a very good question.
• 50:23
  Testecleese: Oh, let's just say, for example, I live… let's just say, for example, I live in the middle of nowhere.
• 50:28
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 50:29
  Brian McFadden: - you do.
• 50:31
  Testecleese: Yes, and I set up a small landscaping business for everyone in the surrounding area.
• 50:39
  Testecleese: and I hire… We'll say 30% of the population within 50 miles of me.
• 50:48
  Brian McFadden: That's pretty good.
• 50:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, that's actually… it is pretty good no matter where you are, realistically.
• 50:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah,
• 50:56
  Testecleese: And now the government says, you can't do this, we hate you.
• 51:01
  Testecleese: We're gonna tax you out of business. Now, 30% of the population just lost their jobs.
• 51:09
  Testecleese: So now there's no money moving above for the government to tax.
• 51:16
  Testecleese: Especially in this… Probably poor, impoverished area where no one lives.
• 51:25
  Testecleese: Here's the thing.
• 51:27
  Testecleese: Most common day items cost about the same here as they do everywhere else.
• 51:32
  Testecleese: You know, beer, etc, etc.
• 51:36
  Brian McFadden: Speaking of beer, were you able to find some?
• 51:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, oh, yeah, I think the strike's over, dude. There were 30 racks, abound everywhere.
• 51:46
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 51:48
  Testecleese: I was getting ready, I was gonna bring up in the UFC shit, but I was gonna bring up how I was…
• 51:53
  Testecleese: ready to say it's time to stop the, boycott of Anheuser-Busch, and I actually was thinking this when I thought I was gonna have to buy Bud Light.
• 52:04
  Brian McFadden: Well, it was gonna be good for the show, because we were gonna get a donation then, so… Yeah.
• 52:12
  Testecleese: But they're still… Bud Light supported the UFC event on the…
• 52:17
  Brian McFadden: They're, they're the sponsor.
• 52:19
  Testecleese: Yeah. They're making an effort.
• 52:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 52:22
  Testecleese: they abandoned.
• 52:23
  Brian McFadden: They found the real target audience when they decided to become a sponsor of UFC, so…
• 52:29
  Testecleese: Found or remembered?
• 52:30
  Brian McFadden: Remembered.
• 52:33
  Testecleese: Yeah. Who buys our garbage beer? Oh, that's right, frat boys!
• 52:37
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 52:41
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 52:41
  Testecleese: Yeah. Anyway… Okay, what's this?
• 52:49
  Testecleese: Spanberger? What's going on in, Virginia with Spanberger and illegals?
• 52:55
  Brian McFadden: They just… the Department of Homeland Security's trying to stop them from… they've…
• 53:01
  Brian McFadden: Virginia is a sanctuary state now, thanks to the Democrats in power.
• 53:05
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 53:07
  Brian McFadden: And… we've got illegal… there's this illegal immigrant that was charged.
• 53:12
  Brian McFadden: with, I think it's child abuse, if I remember the article.
• 53:16
  Testecleese: I believe it was sexual… Sexual child sex?
• 53:19
  Brian McFadden: sex abuse, At a babysitter's house, but was granted a $5,000 secured bond.
• 53:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's like, this guy has no reason to stay in the area. What makes you think he's coming back for trial?
• 53:30
  Brian McFadden: He's not.
• 53:32
  Testecleese: No, he's already out of the country.
• 53:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 53:35
  Testecleese: I sh… I…
• 53:36
  Brian McFadden: The DHS was saying, hey, why'd you put him out, let him out on bond? You know, we should have came and picked them up and started the deportation process because of this.
• 53:46
  Brian McFadden: But now I guarantee we'll never hear from Jose, Nahun, Alman, Hernandez.
• 53:52
  Brian McFadden: Ever again.
• 53:54
  Testecleese: See, this is something that bothers me, that the… I guess the libs either… Forgot, or…
• 54:02
  Testecleese: Or… pretending they don't know about, but…
• 54:06
  Testecleese: How long has I committed a crime of running to Mexico to not go to prison been a thing?
• 54:13
  Brian McFadden: Not long.
• 54:16
  Testecleese: What are you talking about,
• 54:17
  Testecleese: Jimi Hendrix wrote the song, Hey Joe.
• 54:21
  Testecleese: It was when he killed his wife, or his woman.
• 54:25
  Testecleese: For fucking some other guy, and he was gonna run to Mexico so he wouldn't be, executed for it.
• 54:31
  Testecleese: And that was in the 70s.
• 54:33
  Testecleese: By the way, that was 50 years ago!
• 54:36
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 54:39
  Testecleese: Y-you know, hey, Joe.
• 54:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, of course Thought it was, hey, Jude.
• 54:44
  Testecleese: No, that was the Beatles, you asshole.
• 54:48
  Testecleese: No, hey Joe, where you gonna,
• 54:50
  Testecleese: What are you doing with that gun in your hand?
• 54:53
  Brian McFadden: Oh, that one, okay, okay, I know.
• 54:54
  Testecleese: Yeah, I shot my old lady, you know, I caught her messing around, messing around town.
• 55:00
  Testecleese: And he says he's gonna run down to Mexico, where he can be free. Ain't no hangman. He ain't gonna put no rope around me.
• 55:07
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 55:08
  Testecleese: What makes you think people in other countries aren't doing the same thing?
• 55:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
• 55:17
  Testecleese: Are you assuming that they can't think on that high of an order?
• 55:22
  Testecleese: Because that's racist.
• 55:23
  Brian McFadden: That's stupid. Stupidity.
• 55:29
  Testecleese: And, and…
• 55:30
  Brian McFadden: We talked about this mayor, too, you know, in the past.
• 55:34
  Testecleese: I love…
• 55:34
  Brian McFadden: How in the hell did he get elected when he's not even a U.S. citizen? Now he's facing deportation back to Mexico.
• 55:44
  Testecleese: You know what's funny is he's allowed to be mayor, but he wasn't allowed to vote.
• 55:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, he voted.
• 55:49
  Testecleese: But he made a big deal about how he voted, and it brought attention to him.
• 55:53
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 55:56
  Brian McFadden: Stupid people.
• 55:58
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, you play stupid games, man, you win stupid prizes, right?
• 56:04
  Testecleese: I just left my nuts off that he was bragging about all this shit.
• 56:09
  Testecleese: Now, the federal government can't do shit. I'm like, oh, you're going back to Mexico. You… you broke our…
• 56:14
  Brian McFadden: You're probably gonna live there in 30 years, but we don't care, you know, you're not a… you broke the log in here, and we can depart you anytime we want.
• 56:22
  Testecleese: Well, here's the question, is the asshole still know Spanish well enough to go back there?
• 56:25
  Brian McFadden: Probably not.
• 56:28
  Brian McFadden: I don't care. Don't matter.
• 56:31
  Testecleese: I mean, first language.
• 56:32
  Brian McFadden: He needs to go to Cancun, or Cabo San Lucas, you know, where the tourists go, so they all speak English.
• 56:41
  Testecleese: They are some nice places.
• 56:47
  Brian McFadden: This could have been in follow-up, too, here, that, there's gods that, let the ith person, the, the, the.
• 56:55
  Testecleese: I know.
• 56:56
  Brian McFadden: out of the… her courtroom through a back door.
• 57:00
  Brian McFadden: She loses her day.
• 57:01
  Testecleese: Hannah Duggan, right?
• 57:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, she is going to jail slash prison.
• 57:06
  Testecleese: Is she going to jail?
• 57:09
  Testecleese: Well, she's guilty!
• 57:10
  Brian McFadden: We have ice obstruction, so what do you think?
• 57:12
  Testecleese: I think…
• 57:13
  Brian McFadden: You think she's just gonna get a fine? And lose her job?
• 57:17
  Testecleese: I couldn't find a sentence, all I could find was that she's no longer a judge.
• 57:21
  Brian McFadden: It does say former Wisconsin judge.
• 57:25
  Testecleese: So I don't know what her penalty was. Maybe it was just… being disbarred.
• 57:31
  Brian McFadden: Let me…
• 57:31
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 57:32
  Brian McFadden: TV can figure it out.
• 57:33
  Testecleese: Because judges tend to get lighter sentences for some reason, even though they should get stiffer sentences.
• 57:40
  Brian McFadden: It was a 32-page ruling, so…
• 57:43
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 57:44
  Testecleese: Dude, dude, I started drinking at, like, noon today.
• 57:50
  Testecleese: I was weed whacking out in the yard.
• 57:53
  Testecleese: Ran out of… Line in my whacker.
• 57:58
  Testecleese: When to go… I grew up… my spool
• 58:02
  Testecleese: Am I spllying to re-spool my spool?
• 58:06
  Testecleese: Grabbed a beer, drank my beer as I looked at it.
• 58:10
  Brian McFadden: He hasn't been sentenced yet.
• 58:13
  Testecleese: Okay, that's what it is, then.
• 58:15
  Brian McFadden: She faces, it looks like… although reports indicate probation, it's considered more likely than prison under the federal guidelines.
• 58:29
  Brian McFadden: Probation, whatever. I give up. That's why people are so disillusioned with the…
• 58:35
  Brian McFadden: With the, federal justice system, you know, that…
• 58:39
  Brian McFadden: people break the law, and if they're people of power or prestige, meaning judge or famous person, they get a slap on the wrist, where if it was me or Jeffrey that did the same thing, we'd be in prison.
• 58:54
  Brian McFadden: No questions asked.
• 58:58
  Brian McFadden: It's a two-sided justice system.
• 59:01
  Brian McFadden: And… It sucks.
• 59:12
  Testecleese: What's up?
• 59:14
  Brian McFadden: I was just talking about… I found on ChatGBT that said that she hadn't been sentenced yet, and probation was more likely than prison time. And I was going on a rant.
• 59:23
  Brian McFadden: about our two-tiered justice system that we have in the United States. If you're a judge, or a politician, or a famous person, you get a slap on your wrist, where if it was you or me, they did the same thing, we'd be in prison.
• 59:36
  Testecleese: Well, here's the thing, is they hold police to a higher standard, but not judges. This judge should be serving the maximum sentence, just like Jeffrey, Jeffrey Chauvin, right? Yeah.
• 59:46
  Brian McFadden: I agree.
• 59:48
  Testecleese: Instead of the minimum sentence. This should be a, no, no, no, you knew better than what.
• 59:53
  Brian McFadden: Here's a purpose.
• 59:54
  Testecleese: Whereas Chauvin was trained this by the police department.
• 59:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Testecleese: I think, and yeah, no, you're right,
• 1:00:06
  Testecleese: Two-tier justice system is not new here.
• 1:00:09
  Brian McFadden: No, I know.
• 1:00:13
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:00:14
  Testecleese: Let's move on to what's going on in hoax hate.
• 1:00:19
  Testecleese: Shit, Brian. I don't know what's going on, maybe we're having a good time, maybe I'm just fucking drunk, but we are moving super slow tonight.
• 1:00:29
  Testecleese: Or maybe we're just having good conversations, how's that?
• 1:00:31
  Brian McFadden: I think we're having good conversations, so…
• 1:00:33
  Testecleese: I think so, too, and this is a lot of material.
• 1:00:37
  Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, you were literally sharing articles, like, yesterday, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, I got, like, 50 alerts, like, in an hour of stuff.
• 1:00:47
  Testecleese: I know, but they were… All good points, though.
• 1:00:50
  Brian McFadden: I'm like, oh, I know what Jeffrey's doing right now.
• 1:00:54
  Testecleese: Yeah, oh, he's reading the news!
• 1:01:00
  Testecleese: But this… oh my god.
• 1:01:03
  Testecleese: this Carmelo Anthony thing. This college professor, blunt… is blaming Austin Metcalf's father.
• 1:01:12
  Testecleese: For his son's death.
• 1:01:15
  Testecleese: Because Black kids have boundaries.
• 1:01:20
  Testecleese: Which basically means is my… this kid was disrespected and thought it was okay to kill someone else, right?
• 1:01:30
  Testecleese: No?
• 1:01:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. That's not right, but yeah, okay.
• 1:01:35
  Brian McFadden: They…
• 1:01:37
  Testecleese: I mean, I have boundaries too, that doesn't mean I can stab someone through the heart, right?
• 1:01:41
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:01:43
  Testecleese: You know what I do?
• 1:01:45
  Brian McFadden: Walk away?
• 1:01:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, I get my shit and I leave now.
• 1:01:49
  Brian McFadden: Hell yeah, smartest thing you can possibly do.
• 1:01:53
  Testecleese: especially since I typically carry a gun these days, and I know if you don't avoid a conflict at every chance you get, you are wrong in any kind of…
• 1:02:04
  Testecleese: Conflict, if you have a gun on you.
• 1:02:06
  Testecleese: And… same thing applies to a kid with a fucking knife.
• 1:02:11
  Testecleese: He had a chance to walk away, and chose not to.
• 1:02:15
  Testecleese: He instigated a fight.
• 1:02:17
  Testecleese: Yeah. And stab someone for responding to it.
• 1:02:21
  Testecleese: You cannot claim self-defense if you started the fight.
• 1:02:25
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:02:25
  Testecleese: This… this is a thing we all know.
• 1:02:30
  Testecleese: But yeah, we're supposed to be… now we're supposed to believe, oh, just…
• 1:02:34
  Testecleese: leave the black kid alone, let him do whatever, it's like, I don't know this asshole. For all I know, he's here to steal our shit. Oh, because he's black? No, because I don't fucking know him!
• 1:02:45
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:02:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:02:47
  Testecleese: I mean, I… I spent a lot of time in Virginia, a lot of time in the Navy.
• 1:02:52
  Testecleese: Very ethnically diverse.
• 1:02:55
  Testecleese: I don't know a better way to put it than that.
• 1:02:58
  Testecleese: I had no issue with people because of their skin color, I had issues with people because they were fucking assholes.
• 1:03:04
  Brian McFadden: Right. Yep.
• 1:03:06
  Testecleese: And anyone who tried to start a fight with me over my skin color, I labeled as asshole.
• 1:03:12
  Testecleese: Not… Black, not Indian, not Arab, you know what I mean?
• 1:03:22
  Testecleese: It's just frustrating, dude.
• 1:03:28
  Testecleese: like, this… Why not just… Say, no, no, this guy was an asshole.
• 1:03:35
  Testecleese: And chalk it up as a fucking dickhead being a dickhead, because no one seems to give a shit when a black kid kills a black kid.
• 1:03:42
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:03:47
  Testecleese: But all of a sudden, a black kid killed a white kid, now he's automatically innocent.
• 1:03:52
  Testecleese: Nope, no he's not!
• 1:03:55
  Testecleese: He was some punk kid, and he is the…
• 1:03:58
  Testecleese: Here's where I'll give you some slack. If this is the argument they were gonna make.
• 1:04:02
  Testecleese: Was it was programmed into him.
• 1:04:06
  Testecleese: That he has been a disadvantage because of his skin color his whole life, and he was TOLD this, that no matter what he did, he was always gonna lose.
• 1:04:17
  Testecleese: And that's why he fought back. Then it'll be like, oh, okay, so I'm gonna blame the fucking media and the message put out.
• 1:04:24
  Testecleese: And the argument you're making now is exactly the opposite of it.
• 1:04:30
  Testecleese: You can't claim that he did…
• 1:04:36
  Testecleese: He stabbed a 17-year-old through the heart.
• 1:04:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  Testecleese: Because, depending on who you ask, a double-handed shove, a one-handed shove, or… he was trying to shove him, but couldn't even manage to shove him before he was stabbed.
• 1:04:52
  Testecleese: It's right.
• 1:04:54
  Testecleese: It's not an excuse to end someone's life, you know what I mean?
• 1:04:58
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:05:03
  Testecleese: Dear God.
• 1:05:04
  Testecleese: I can't imagine what would be happening…
• 1:05:09
  Testecleese: In a lot of places, if that was the case.
• 1:05:11
  Testecleese: someone disrespects me and poisons me, and then I can kill them?
• 1:05:19
  Testecleese: Shit, my time in Chicago would have been very different. I say Chicago, Waukegan?
• 1:05:26
  Testecleese: What the fuck is Great Mistakes? I know we used to go to… Illinois.
• 1:05:30
  Brian McFadden: Oh my god.
• 1:05:31
  Testecleese: Illinois, we used to go to Waukegan, Illinois. It was where we used to go on the, the jam vans.
• 1:05:38
  Testecleese: Joe, you went to Florida, didn't you?
• 1:05:40
  Brian McFadden: I did, I went to Orlando.
• 1:05:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, it doesn't exist anymore.
• 1:05:43
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:05:44
  Testecleese: Yeah, my father did too.
• 1:05:47
  Testecleese: His time in the Navy was a joke, though.
• 1:05:54
  Testecleese: he signed up when Vietnam happened to not have to be in the army, right?
• 1:05:58
  Brian McFadden: Alright, smart.
• 1:05:59
  Testecleese: You know, and I get that, right?
• 1:06:04
  Testecleese: and he was an electrician's mate who, like, basically guarded nuclear missiles.
• 1:06:12
  Testecleese: And then as soon as the war ended, like, who wants to go home? The war's over. And he raised his hand, and they sent him home before his enlistment was over.
• 1:06:21
  Testecleese: Now, don't get me wrong, I ain't talking trash.
• 1:06:24
  Testecleese: Yeah. He still signed up and did it.
• 1:06:29
  Testecleese: And that's the thing is, he still did more than your average American.
• 1:06:34
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:06:36
  Brian McFadden: Yep, I was the first person in my family to join the military.
• 1:06:40
  Testecleese: Oh, I was one of many in a row.
• 1:06:42
  Brian McFadden: I'm glad I did.
• 1:06:44
  Testecleese: I would have liked to have retired, but medical issues became an issue, and then…
• 1:06:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:06:51
  Testecleese: Turns out the wife's medical issues were more severe than we had thought.
• 1:06:56
  Testecleese: And I should have struggled through as a welder with epilepsy.
• 1:07:01
  Testecleese: Well, let's be real, I was in E5,
• 1:07:04
  Testecleese: all I had to do was stop intentionally failing tests, because I… I liked being in E5. I actually got to do work.
• 1:07:11
  Brian McFadden: E5 was the best rate. It's like, you got a little bit of responsibility, but you don't have to do all the shit jobs at the same time. Yeah.
• 1:07:19
  Testecleese: Chief, trusts your word. You're in control of other people who do what you say.
• 1:07:26
  Testecleese: I get to pick the prime jobs.
• 1:07:28
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:07:29
  Testecleese: And then you spend a couple hours when everyone else is gone filing paperwork, right?
• 1:07:33
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:07:34
  Testecleese: I was one test from,
• 1:07:37
  Testecleese: Not doing the physical work anymore.
• 1:07:40
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:07:41
  Testecleese: And I was like, I just don't want to do this anymore. I was like, I liked the work.
• 1:07:45
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:07:47
  Testecleese: When I found out when you…
• 1:07:49
  Testecleese: when I found out that Career Navy meant paperwork, I got pissed.
• 1:07:56
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:07:59
  Testecleese: You know, I thought I was… I thought I could be…
• 1:08:02
  Testecleese: And technically speaking, if you're the chief of a repair division.
• 1:08:08
  Testecleese: You show up on the work site and say, I want to weld. You're gonna be welding, right?
• 1:08:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:08:15
  Testecleese: Why would you do that?
• 1:08:17
  Brian McFadden: Exactly, you've got too many other things to do.
• 1:08:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, you got too much other shit to do, and you gotta let your boys make their own name.
• 1:08:26
  Testecleese: I don't know, man, I did some fucking amazing welds for the United States Navy.
• 1:08:32
  Testecleese: I got, I got medals for them.
• 1:08:39
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:08:40
  Testecleese: Now I'm drinking beer in my basement.
• 1:08:43
  Brian McFadden: There you go, I'm drinking beer in my upstairs.
• 1:08:47
  Testecleese: Yeah… I keep thinking about doing an outside thing, but… sounds like too much work.
• 1:08:53
  Brian McFadden: Nowadays it does, we got too much shit we're using. We're not using a cell phone anymore, hard to record the show. We're on the same location.
• 1:09:03
  Testecleese: Well, I was thinking right next to my house, where my Wi-Fi would still reach, but…
• 1:09:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I understand, but still, you'd have to lug your laptop out there, you know, we're…
• 1:09:12
  Brian McFadden: And everything, set it up, it'd be a pain.
• 1:09:16
  Testecleese: Stop.
• 1:09:17
  Testecleese: Anyway, as all this is going on, the, Black Lives Matter leader that everyone is super familiar with just bought another $1.2 million house.
• 1:09:31
  Testecleese: I believe it's 1.2, right?
• 1:09:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, 1.2.
• 1:09:37
  Testecleese: So, you know, your donations…
• 1:09:41
  Testecleese: Are going to good use, folks.
• 1:09:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, right.
• 1:09:49
  Brian McFadden: Oh, my word. What a… what a scam.
• 1:09:53
  Testecleese: Depending on where you are on the economic chain.
• 1:09:58
  Testecleese: Many may consider me, quote, wealthy.
• 1:10:01
  Brian McFadden: Yes, many would.
• 1:10:03
  Testecleese: Whereas many will say, this man has investments, he's getting by.
• 1:10:09
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:10:17
  Testecleese: Where the fuck… who… oh… not… What were we looking at?
• 1:10:23
  Testecleese: Oh, her house. Her house.
• 1:10:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, Black Lives Matter.
• 1:10:28
  Testecleese: I have a $150,000 house.
• 1:10:35
  Testecleese: I may be, quote, wealthy.
• 1:10:39
  Testecleese: But my… I do not live in a…
• 1:10:42
  Testecleese: What was it, $1.2 million house?
• 1:10:45
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:10:46
  Testecleese: That seems… Ludicrous to me.
• 1:10:49
  Testecleese: I can't imagine the house you could build for $1.2 million.
• 1:10:53
  Brian McFadden: Oh, my… it'd be a mansion. And if you did it in West Virginia, you'd be a… you'd have a whole mountain yourself. Michigan would be a huge place, too. Most definitely.
• 1:11:03
  Testecleese: We were actually talking about building our own house.
• 1:11:06
  Testecleese: And I actually said, I want secret passageways.
• 1:11:12
  Testecleese: And the wife's like, what? I was like, no, I want to pull on a fucking book, and, like, a bookshelf slide of.
• 1:11:17
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, if you're gonna do it, do it right.
• 1:11:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, I could sneak up to this side of the house, I want a secret room, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 1:11:25
  Testecleese: It still would have cost me less than a million dollars.
• 1:11:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:11:33
  Testecleese: Yeah. See, this is the thing, the people dedicated to charity and service always seem to be so wealthy, huh?
• 1:11:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:11:44
  Testecleese: Where do you think your donations are going?
• 1:11:46
  Testecleese: Here's the best part, is on her fucking website, where she's taking donations, it probably says right on it, she's taking 20%.
• 1:11:55
  Testecleese: Yeah. Well, 50, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:58
  Testecleese: But people don't bother looking at it.
• 1:12:01
  Testecleese: And instead of helping Carmelo Anthony in his defense.
• 1:12:06
  Brian McFadden: You're buying.
• 1:12:06
  Testecleese: This… you're buying this woman a house.
• 1:12:12
  Testecleese: Yay!
• 1:12:16
  Brian McFadden: Money well donated.
• 1:12:19
  Testecleese: Oh, speaking of money well donated, you… this SBLC shit, dude?
• 1:12:26
  Brian McFadden: They get money from donations.
• 1:12:29
  Testecleese: what's going on, dude? Apparently…
• 1:12:33
  Brian McFadden: I don't know why this organization still exists, because they're such a fraud organization, they should have been shut down a while back.
• 1:12:40
  Testecleese: First of all, Didn't way back in, like, the 60s, didn't they actually defend the Ku Klux Klan?
• 1:12:47
  Brian McFadden: Yes, I did!
• 1:12:48
  Testecleese: Their… their right to march?
• 1:12:51
  Testecleese: Because it was about rights at the time.
• 1:12:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  Testecleese: Which is the name they've carried forward, but now it's about ending hate.
• 1:13:00
  Testecleese: But they're still carrying the American Rights moniker.
• 1:13:06
  Testecleese: As it turns out, the…
• 1:13:09
  Testecleese: well, we talked about this before, multiple times. They're funding the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis and keeping them alive when they would be dead by now, and… okay, oh, you're full of shit, it's not that bad.
• 1:13:21
  Testecleese: The fucking woman who's handing out the money for these people is sleeping with one of the neo-Nazis she's paying, and check this out, Brian, they share bank accounts! She put the money in her own account!
• 1:13:36
  Brian McFadden: We… didn't that happen in Georgia, too, and that's what got him in trouble?
• 1:13:41
  Testecleese: Could well be!
• 1:13:44
  Brian McFadden: She was taking co- she was commingling campaign funds.
• 1:13:49
  Testecleese: Well, okay, she was, yes, she was taking a piece of it for herself.
• 1:13:55
  Testecleese: This woman here just dumped it into her own bank account because she was… had a bank account shared with this fucking neo-Nazi leader that they hired to be a neo-Nazi.
• 1:14:09
  Testecleese: They were living together!
• 1:14:14
  Testecleese: Who's the hateful people here?
• 1:14:16
  Brian McFadden: Not the people that they're bragging about being hateful.
• 1:14:22
  Testecleese: I don't pay the Ku Klux Klan, do you?
• 1:14:25
  Brian McFadden: No? Hell no!
• 1:14:26
  Testecleese: Do you… do you pay the neo-Nazis to fucking march?
• 1:14:30
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:14:31
  Testecleese: No? Have you ever once bought the Klan a cross?
• 1:14:34
  Brian McFadden: Hell no.
• 1:14:35
  Testecleese: Drags and oil to burn.
• 1:14:36
  Brian McFadden: No, no, no.
• 1:14:38
  Testecleese: This woman has!
• 1:14:40
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly. Her organization has.
• 1:14:45
  Testecleese: This woman did!
• 1:14:46
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:14:47
  Testecleese: Yes, her organization, but this woman did, because it was her fucking husband!
• 1:14:51
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:14:53
  Testecleese: odd husband, her…
• 1:14:54
  Brian McFadden: Romantic partner.
• 1:14:56
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 1:15:00
  Testecleese: What the fuck is going on, dude? And you point this out to people, and they try to explain it away, and it's like, dude, you're explaining away Nazism. You sound like the Republicans that you claim are real.
• 1:15:13
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:15:14
  Testecleese: But you can't find one.
• 1:15:18
  Testecleese: They say, oh, it's… I'm pretty sure this happened with JD Vance on The View, when Whoopi brought up, oh, you're erasing black monuments. And I was like, well, can you name one?
• 1:15:27
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:15:28
  Testecleese: And she couldn't, she goes, well, there's so many. He goes, well, it should be easy to name one.
• 1:15:34
  Testecleese: And she couldn't.
• 1:15:36
  Testecleese: Because it's not happening.
• 1:15:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:15:41
  Testecleese: Oh, they took the, the boss, the MLK out of the, Oval Office, fucking 7 years ago. Yes, they were fucking cleaning the Oval Office. You know, you know what? It's back.
• 1:15:52
  Testecleese: Yeah. It was back a month later.
• 1:15:58
  Testecleese: you just insist on finding hate. It infuriates me. It makes me almost want to hate.
• 1:16:08
  Testecleese: Well, it makes me ask, dude… Are you fucking retarded?
• 1:16:14
  Testecleese: Or are you a fucking liar?
• 1:16:16
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:16:22
  Testecleese: How long have you been doing this show, Brian? Fuck, almost.
• 1:16:24
  Brian McFadden: Ugh.
• 1:16:25
  Testecleese: 20 years?
• 1:16:27
  Brian McFadden: Close to it, yeah. Yep, I think I've known you that long.
• 1:16:31
  Testecleese: I spent plenty of time talking shit about the fucking Republicans on the show, haven't I?
• 1:16:36
  Brian McFadden: I'll just do that.
• 1:16:37
  Testecleese: History of the show.
• 1:16:38
  Brian McFadden: Yup, you have over the days, yep.
• 1:16:41
  Testecleese: But then Trump.
• 1:16:41
  Brian McFadden: I'm sure a die-hard libertarian for many, many years, you know? I remember how many times did that… the guy that smoked pot try to run it for president, you know?
• 1:16:52
  Testecleese: Oh, the guy who… Oh my god, what was his name?
• 1:16:56
  Brian McFadden: I don't remember.
• 1:16:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, he couldn't remember the name of… he didn't remember the name of a city in, like, Libya that was getting.
• 1:17:02
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:17:03
  Testecleese: Aleppo.
• 1:17:04
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:17:06
  Testecleese: What's Aleppo? Oh, that's the end of that.
• 1:17:11
  Testecleese: But… these left… Assholes have gone so far fucking left, dude. Yeah. You know?
• 1:17:20
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 1:17:21
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, some fucking douche nozzle socialist in Chicago
• 1:17:26
  Testecleese: Went out and tried to actually… I say try to. Actually, Lit a cross on fire!
• 1:17:35
  Brian McFadden: Insane.
• 1:17:38
  Testecleese: He tried to say it was… well, actually, if you want to set up share, there's a video in there of him doing an interview.
• 1:17:45
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 1:17:46
  Testecleese: He just sounds so stupid. He was clearly trying to set up a fucking fake hate crime.
• 1:17:52
  Testecleese: But got caught.
• 1:17:55
  Testecleese: And he was trying to justify what he did, but he was too fucking stupid.
• 1:18:00
  Testecleese: to be able to do it, you know what I mean?
• 1:18:05
  Testecleese: Yo, look at that.
• 1:18:06
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 1:18:07
  Brian McFadden: There you go.
• 1:18:09
  Testecleese: I was like, oh, I put a MAGA hat on it to make sure it was a MAGA point. He's like, dude, you lit it on fire, the MAGA hat was gone in seconds.
• 1:18:17
  Brian McFadden: That's the ad.
• 1:18:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, right? Don't you hate that shit? There it is.
• 1:18:21
  Brian McFadden: That's good.
• 1:18:22
  Testecleese: There's probably a commercial in there.
• 1:18:24
  Brian McFadden: Oh, well, just us, though.
• 1:18:29
  Brian McFadden: I guarantee it's YouTube.
• 1:18:30
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: So…
• 1:18:31
  Brian McFadden: Yay! Two commercials, not one!
• 1:18:34
  Brian McFadden: Dude!
• 1:18:37
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Living Spaces, we offer your Boston TV console for just $7.50, because we take our design…

  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Trump administration in.
• 1:18:46
  Testecleese: Get some bigot.
• 1:18:46
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Not something racist. How did you land on a burning cross?
• 1:18:50
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Just… It came up to my head one day.
• 1:18:53
  Testecleese: I'm not religious.
• 1:18:54
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: to… I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like, no organization, no friends, no…
• 1:19:02
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I did know about this, this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know Whatever. Bullshit. The severity.
• 1:19:10
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: How… how… racially motivated it may seem from what I did.
• 1:19:17
  Testecleese: And why did he do it?
• 1:19:18
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: My protest has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with gender. Should you have done it some other way? Yeah.
• 1:19:24
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Probably. Merlin Lew is a 21-year-old Naperville native. That's him playing tennis at Niqua Valley High School, where he was graduated in 2022. Last week, Liu sent this scripted video to NBC, claiming responsibility for the cross burning, but saying he had no affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, apologizing to those who were offended. In the video, he also criticized President
• 1:19:48
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: President Trump. I don't want to wait till his term ends.
• 1:19:51
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I don't wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. You're the cross burner!
• 1:19:56
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: that video, are you serious?
• 1:19:57
  Testecleese: Or the guy you hate!
• 1:19:59
  Brian McFadden: Yeah!
• 1:20:00
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: You say that you think… I think you should stand trial.
• 1:20:02
  Testecleese: Am I the only one who sees this shit?
• 1:20:04
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: said.
• 1:20:04
  Brian McFadden: I think so.
• 1:20:06
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: he deserves to stand trial to the American people, some paraphrase, I guess, but…
• 1:20:09
  Testecleese: Or why?
• 1:20:09
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Use the word end.
• 1:20:11
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That's what I mean by end. I mean, by end, I don't mean, like, A civil war.
• 1:20:17
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: If, if that's the… If that.
• 1:20:20
  Testecleese: Civil War.
• 1:20:21
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Lou says he built this cross after carrying wooden slats from his near Westside apartment to Grant Park last Tuesday afternoon. He showed the red ball cap that he put.
• 1:20:32
  Brian McFadden: Where's a red ball goes.
• 1:20:33
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: used lighter fluid and toilet paper to get it all red. I put a red hat to signify the MAGA hat, the Make America Great Again hat.
• 1:20:43
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That was… yeah, that's what I tied on top. But that's not visible in the one video that was taken by a motorist. Lou says he was protesting what he calls MAGA Christian nationalist supporters and the Trump administration ruling class. You're just scamming people. We're just scamming out of money, right? And I think that's…
• 1:21:00
  Testecleese: Money!
• 1:21:01
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: It's a reflection of how this.
• 1:21:02
  Testecleese: Don't.
• 1:21:03
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: works right now, where money controls everything.
• 1:21:06
  Testecleese: The biggest thing the Democrats ever did was convince the average American taxpayer they didn't get a tax cut.
• 1:21:11
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: transportation. Chicago Police and the FBI have been trying to identify him ever since, putting out this flyer with pictures of.
• 1:21:17
  Brian McFadden: But MEC found him!
• 1:21:19
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: CPD labeling it.
• 1:21:20
  Testecleese: You would have just ripped those.
• 1:21:21
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: nobody's identified you to this point, and called them? A little bit. A little bit. But, to me, that's not that important. Right. I don't really…
• 1:21:31
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Like, to me, this issue is bigger than just myself. Did you make it all the way through all.
• 1:21:35
  Testecleese: Oh my god, he lit a cross on fire, and he's trying to say…
• 1:21:38
  Brian McFadden: Not a big project.
• 1:21:38
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: news.
• 1:21:39
  Brian McFadden: Big deal.
• 1:21:39
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The burning cross is one of the most divisive symbols in America.
• 1:21:43
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: No, I didn't… I don't really have any, like… I never grew up… With religion, never,
• 1:21:49
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: really surround myself with people with it, my childhood friends.
• 1:21:52
  Testecleese: He's stupid.
• 1:21:53
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I remember them going to, like.
• 1:21:55
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Confirmation and stuff like that, but
• 1:21:58
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: But it's a symbol of the Ku Klux Klan. I mean, that really is where it started. Nobody ever taught you that, you never read it in a history book, nobody…
• 1:22:07
  Testecleese: Bullshit, not Martin School.
• 1:22:08
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: stage with the, the movie with the… like, I think it's called, like,
• 1:22:15
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Under One Nation, or something like that?
• 1:22:17
  Brian McFadden: Never…
• 1:22:18
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The Birth of a Nation is a famous 1915 silent film that romanticized.
• 1:22:23
  Brian McFadden: He saw this, but not knew his local queen about it.
• 1:22:27
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: No, for sure not. In no way possible was that a hate crime. I do understand why it was interpreted that way, and I apologize for that, but no, the intent was not there.
• 1:22:39
  Brian McFadden: But if he hates Mega…
• 1:22:40
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: police.
• 1:22:40
  Brian McFadden: And the Christians, that's hate.
• 1:22:42
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: charges, maybe…
• 1:22:42
  Brian McFadden: Soy.
• 1:22:43
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: against the man who admits the cross burning.
• 1:22:45
  Testecleese: You know as well as I, Asians are treated like white people in the criminal justice system.
• 1:22:49
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: He says his parents are encouraging him to surrender, and that they offered to provide an attorney, but he said no. He told me he's thinking of turning himself in, something he won't have to worry about if police arrive first.
• 1:23:02
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Back to you.
• 1:23:07
  Testecleese: Was this guy paid by the SPLC?
• 1:23:11
  Brian McFadden: No. He might as well be.
• 1:23:14
  Testecleese: And he's so dumb!
• 1:23:16
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:23:19
  Brian McFadden: Chicago, so…
• 1:23:21
  Testecleese: He's like, oh, I… dude, you shouldn't have done this interview.
• 1:23:26
  Brian McFadden: Now the… how the FBI has an actual picture of you, and they're coming for your ass!
• 1:23:34
  Testecleese: What are you facial…
• 1:23:35
  Brian McFadden: No recognition to find you.
• 1:23:36
  Testecleese: just say his argument holds up in court. I didn't know better. Now you're allowing thousands.
• 1:23:42
  Brian McFadden: This is not an excuse to get out of the law.
• 1:23:45
  Testecleese: law.
• 1:23:46
  Testecleese: Correct, correct. Ignorance is not an excuse for the law. But, if it holds up in court, that sets a precedent for all these white people doing the same thing.
• 1:23:54
  Brian McFadden: It does.
• 1:23:58
  Testecleese: And, oh, you're an asshole. No, I'm talking about how the fucking law works.
• 1:24:03
  Testecleese: You know, trust, trust the science.
• 1:24:08
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 1:24:10
  Testecleese: Anyway, as is going on, Tim Wall's rating has fallen below Trump's.
• 1:24:18
  Testecleese: Well, I mean…
• 1:24:19
  Testecleese: he kind of got blown up this, fraud thing, which… I can't believe nothing's happened besides his approval rating dropping.
• 1:24:28
  Brian McFadden: Give it time, give it time.
• 1:24:32
  Testecleese: Maybe… more Gabbage left today, I think?
• 1:24:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, she dropped a bomb.
• 1:24:40
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, about Fauci, right?
• 1:24:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, I think that's in Leftovers, which it should have been in… Intro, but… Check this out!
• 1:24:56
  Testecleese: Famous bass jumper. He did a famous show with Madonna in, like, 2012 or something, doing, like, a low-wire bouncing act thing.
• 1:25:05
  Testecleese: He's done… he was the guy who high-wired between two hot air balloons.
• 1:25:11
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:25:12
  Testecleese: Yeah, he did the famous high wire act, and france over Paris.
• 1:25:19
  Testecleese: He recently fell to his death.
• 1:25:23
  Testecleese: Doing a base jumping thing with, possibly a tandem jumper that is also dead.
• 1:25:30
  Brian McFadden: Well, he died doing what he wanted to do with life, so, I mean…
• 1:25:34
  Testecleese: Yeah…
• 1:25:36
  Brian McFadden: It sucks, but, yeah.
• 1:25:37
  Testecleese: But, the problem is, this guy was, always better than everyone else, according to everyone else who did it.
• 1:25:43
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 1:25:44
  Testecleese: So he's always pushing the line.
• 1:25:46
  Testecleese: And then… I guess he started doing tandem jumps with people to enjoy the rush of a base jump, and took a guy to their grave with him.
• 1:25:57
  Testecleese: I mean, it happens…
• 1:26:00
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:26:02
  Testecleese: It's unfortunate, you're jumping off a fucking… cliff, who knows what's gonna happen?
• 1:26:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, 2012, he was on Madonna, the Madonna at the Super Bowl.
• 1:26:14
  Testecleese: Jesus Christ, why is this guy's name… why do they bury the headline? Like…
• 1:26:21
  Testecleese: The guy's name is something Lewis, I guess. Andy Lewis.
• 1:26:27
  Testecleese: He owned a bass jumping company.
• 1:26:32
  Testecleese: I just… Gaia was apparently, like, the best in the world.
• 1:26:37
  Testecleese: Couldn't navigate the cliffs in, I think it was Utah or something like that?
• 1:26:45
  Testecleese: And,
• 1:26:47
  Testecleese: He died, and another man died. They believe it might have been a tandem jump. They can't tell yet, which makes me think that if it was a tandem jump, something horrible happened that you.
• 1:26:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:26:58
  Testecleese: It was a tandem jump, right?
• 1:27:00
  Brian McFadden: Yoke.
• 1:27:03
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:27:07
  Testecleese: You seen any of these videos?
• 1:27:10
  Testecleese: Of all these, Europeans coming to the United States for the World Cup.
• 1:27:15
  Testecleese: Talk about how great our country is?
• 1:27:17
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I've seen stories about that, yep.
• 1:27:22
  Brian McFadden: I mean, they've been fed a narrative in Europe, so they don't have a clue what's really… what real Americans are alike, you know, so…
• 1:27:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, they think they're gonna get shot going to the grocery store.
• 1:27:34
  Testecleese: And then people actually show up, and they're like, wow, this is fucking amazing. Then they find Walmart.
• 1:27:40
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, Europe doesn't have Walmart.
• 1:27:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, apparently Walmart's the big deal, they, like, what is this? I can buy literally anything I can want.
• 1:27:51
  Testecleese: And then they cut you…
• 1:27:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, then you can find out you can buy guns at the same store that you get your groceries at.
• 1:28:00
  Testecleese: I don't know, I just…
• 1:28:01
  Testecleese: I thoroughly enjoyed watching these Europeans, lose their mind over how great this country was. They… most of them were even saying, like, the people were really friendly, they're great, you know?
• 1:28:17
  Testecleese: Right.
• 1:28:18
  Testecleese: Is, apparently, they…
• 1:28:23
  Testecleese: Apparently, these foreigners love this country more than the Democrats do, because even the people that come.
• 1:28:28
  Brian McFadden: I think so.
• 1:28:29
  Testecleese: Even people cover you legally.
• 1:28:34
  Testecleese: are just having a good time and going back home, as the Democrats say there's something wrong here, and it's like, well, what's wrong?
• 1:28:40
  Testecleese: Now compare it to every fucking nation on the planet, you know?
• 1:28:50
  Brian McFadden: And we got a, the… the pathetic peace zone set up.
• 1:28:56
  Brian McFadden: In Seattle.
• 1:28:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, Seattle, what? What is it, with some orange cones and some fucking orange mesh tape?
• 1:29:03
  Brian McFadden: That was the location of the match today, between USA and Australia, and ron was too embarrassed to come on the show, because USA…
• 1:29:14
  Brian McFadden: Shut out, Australia, 2-0.
• 1:29:17
  Testecleese: Shoot him another message and talk shit about the soccer game.
• 1:29:20
  Brian McFadden: Oh, I did, I did. He's like, I've got a sleep apnea test tonight, I gotta do that, I can't do the show with you tonight, so…
• 1:29:29
  Brian McFadden: He said he's available next, he said he's free next weekend, so we'll get him on the show and hopefully remember to talk shit about soccer with him. He's like, we'll make it up in rugby. Oh, I'm sure you will, because America don't do nothing with rugby.
• 1:29:42
  Testecleese: We don't do much with soccer either, we barely touch soccer.
• 1:29:46
  Testecleese: And we…
• 1:29:47
  Brian McFadden: Probably more popular.
• 1:29:49
  Brian McFadden: It's not in our age group, but the kids are all into soccer now, the young kids are doing, you know, minor league soccer and stuff like that. It very well might become more popular than baseball at some point.
• 1:30:04
  Testecleese: Well, that's the thing, it's…
• 1:30:05
  Brian McFadden: It's gonna make years, but, I mean, it could.
• 1:30:08
  Testecleese: Problem, Brian, you're living in a Muslim state.
• 1:30:12
  Brian McFadden: Fuck you!
• 1:30:14
  Testecleese: shot.
• 1:30:16
  Brian McFadden: Muslim in parts of the state.
• 1:30:20
  Brian McFadden: Dearborn is Muslim. Other cities are Muslim. I am not… it's not a Muslim state, yeah.
• 1:30:29
  Testecleese: You need to teach your kids to play baseball.
• 1:30:32
  Brian McFadden: I don't have any kids.
• 1:30:34
  Testecleese: Okay, the kids.
• 1:30:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, apparently, these, tourists… Oh, loving this country.
• 1:30:50
  Brian McFadden: So much, they discovered a new condiment.
• 1:30:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, not only Discover Do Condiment, but the food portions are amazing at restaurants.
• 1:31:00
  Brian McFadden: Dude!
• 1:31:00
  Testecleese: They're friendly, they're nice.
• 1:31:01
  Brian McFadden: There's a reason why the restaurants ain't making any money, is because they're putting too much shit on the plate.
• 1:31:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, and… Apparently, the rest of the world found out, oh, found out about, ranch dressing.
• 1:31:20
  Brian McFadden: Americans dip it in everything.
• 1:31:22
  Testecleese: I don't like it myself.
• 1:31:25
  Brian McFadden: I do some things with it, like fried mushrooms, jalapeno poppers… But, you know…
• 1:31:32
  Brian McFadden: I'm not addicted to it like a lot of people are.
• 1:31:35
  Testecleese: Apparently, the rest of the world has discovered this since coming to the World Cup, and they're trying to smuggle it back to their home country.
• 1:31:43
  Brian McFadden: And TSA says, you gotta put it in your check bag, not your carry-on.
• 1:31:50
  Testecleese: But I want to eat it on the plane.
• 1:31:52
  Brian McFadden: You gotta put it in the little 1-ounce container, then!
• 1:31:57
  Testecleese: I just laughed my ass off. I was like, ranch dressing as well?
• 1:32:00
  Brian McFadden: I know, I know! It's so commonplace for us, you know, it's no big deal, but they were freak… they're freaking out about it.
• 1:32:09
  Testecleese: You see, the Scots took over Boston?
• 1:32:12
  Brian McFadden: Boston, yeah! Scott's country now.
• 1:32:17
  Brian McFadden: I saw an article, I don't know if it's in here, probably not, but they drank, they drank, Boston Tri.
• 1:32:25
  Testecleese: Oh, I doubt that.
• 1:32:28
  Testecleese: I doubt that.
• 1:32:30
  Brian McFadden: They're Scottish. I don't.
• 1:32:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, you know, I doubt it because… well, first of all, Boston is home for boozing, too.
• 1:32:37
  Testecleese: And that just means… granted, more people showing up drinking the same supply means it might go dry.
• 1:32:43
  Testecleese: But…
• 1:32:45
  Testecleese: That just means the bars ran out of kegs. That doesn't mean there wasn't more booze 20 miles away.
• 1:32:52
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:32:53
  Testecleese: They just got caught off guard by what these Scotsmen would drink.
• 1:32:59
  Brian McFadden: And, President Trump pulled off a huge feat, last Sunday on his 80th birthday celebration. He brought the UFC to the White House lawn for UFC Freedom 250.
• 1:33:11
  Testecleese: Yeah, solve one, right?
• 1:33:12
  Brian McFadden: 50 Celebration.
• 1:33:15
  Testecleese: I'm a little bothered that… I… it's funny, I'm surprised that Democrats didn't bring this up.
• 1:33:20
  Testecleese: I'm a little bawled that it happened on his birthday.
• 1:33:23
  Brian McFadden: I think it was planned that way.
• 1:33:26
  Testecleese: Yeah, I think it was supposed to be the United States, not his birth… the president's birthday, right?
• 1:33:32
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but the 4th of July's too crazy in DC as it is, so they don't want to bring the UFC in there at the same time. I understand what they're thinking.
• 1:33:42
  Testecleese: Oh, no, I get it, they would try and do the month-long…
• 1:33:45
  Brian McFadden: That's why…
• 1:33:45
  Testecleese: Operation.
• 1:33:46
  Brian McFadden: I actually stood… stayed up and watched a couple of the UFC fights on that night. It got ring delayed for, like, a half hour, because they thought there was a squall of storms come through, so they held it off for, like, a half hour.
• 1:33:58
  Testecleese: Did you…
• 1:33:58
  Brian McFadden: They never showed up, but they did.
• 1:34:00
  Testecleese: the Democrats actually did rain dances, trying to bring upon rain, and…
• 1:34:06
  Brian McFadden: I see that.
• 1:34:06
  Testecleese: And then, if you look at it,
• 1:34:09
  Testecleese: From a satellite, the storm literally split and went around.
• 1:34:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:34:15
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:34:16
  Testecleese: So, if you're trying to call the god.
• 1:34:22
  Brian McFadden: They didn't listen to you.
• 1:34:23
  Testecleese: With your rain dance, he did the opposite.
• 1:34:27
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:34:29
  Testecleese: Like, it was gonna happen. The fact that you're a douche nozzle.
• 1:34:34
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:34:35
  Testecleese: Like, no, no, why you gotta be a dick?
• 1:34:38
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:34:40
  Testecleese: Dude, we wanna watch a fucking fight, it's gonna be exciting. Oh, it's a combat sport. Who gives a fuck?
• 1:34:48
  Brian McFadden: I mean, this is the tame down UFC.
• 1:34:51
  Brian McFadden: You remember the original UFC, where there was no holes barred.
• 1:34:55
  Testecleese: It's not regular.
• 1:34:55
  Brian McFadden: It was… The hoist grape.
• 1:34:57
  Testecleese: Tracy, 50-pound Hoist Gracie fighting a 300-pound fucking muscle-bound dude?
• 1:35:06
  Testecleese: Here's the thing, though, is the original UFC was Hoist Gracie would beat that guy.
• 1:35:14
  Testecleese: Now these guys know how to throw a punch, so fucking landed.
• 1:35:18
  Testecleese: There's no way you're gonna grab ahold of him if you can't take that punch, you know what I mean?
• 1:35:23
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 1:35:25
  Testecleese: I don't know about you, Brian, you ever been punched in the face?
• 1:35:28
  Brian McFadden: No, I haven't.
• 1:35:29
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:35:30
  Brian McFadden: Sounds very pleasant.
• 1:35:31
  Testecleese: No, it sucks. Now imagine a trained fighter hitting you.
• 1:35:36
  Brian McFadden: No thanks.
• 1:35:41
  Testecleese: Oh, no bueno!
• 1:35:42
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:35:43
  Testecleese: Yes, ma'am!
• 1:35:46
  Testecleese: I mean, I've been punched in the face a couple times, and… It has… never ended well.
• 1:35:54
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:35:56
  Testecleese: But…
• 1:35:57
  Testecleese: even if it's… even a 140-pound woman punching in the face, it still fucking hurts. You know what I mean?
• 1:36:04
  Testecleese: Granted, it might just piss me off more than anything else.
• 1:36:09
  Testecleese: But it still hurts, you know? Now imagine a fucking 250-pound grown man
• 1:36:15
  Testecleese: Who's been training an entire life, throwing a white hook at your jaw.
• 1:36:20
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:36:22
  Testecleese: I can't imagine the dudes that take these punches.
• 1:36:25
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 1:36:26
  Testecleese: Oh, they're wearing 6-ounce gloves. Do you want… I understand what 6-ounce is.
• 1:36:30
  Brian McFadden: Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. That's still gonna hurt.
• 1:36:33
  Testecleese: That… yeah. That's a third of a pound, is how much his glove weighs.
• 1:36:42
  Testecleese: Dear God.
• 1:36:45
  Testecleese: Anyway, I'm gonna grab a beer.
• 1:36:48
  Testecleese: Alright. Only take me… only take me a second, but Dana White is apparently, he says…
• 1:36:54
  Brian McFadden: There's no more outdoor events for USC, you know, because of the weather drama, I mean…
• 1:36:59
  Brian McFadden: You're outside in summertime in the West Coast, you're gonna have to deal with weather, you know? Some days it's gonna be better than others, it's just… it is what it is.
• 1:37:11
  Testecleese: I don't know, I think his outdoor event went amazing.
• 1:37:14
  Brian McFadden: I think it did, too. I mean, it had a huge…
• 1:37:17
  Brian McFadden: I haven't seen the numbers on Paramount+, but, you know, I'm sure the numbers were pretty high. And then there were tons of people… they brought in all the military they could find.
• 1:37:26
  Brian McFadden: in the surrounding area, and put them in the seats, you know, so it was…
• 1:37:31
  Brian McFadden: It was a pretty fun event, you know? People loved it.
• 1:37:34
  Testecleese: I missed the fight myself. I wanted to watch it, but from what I understand, it was all knockouts?
• 1:37:41
  Brian McFadden: There were a lot of knockouts. The two fights I saw were…
• 1:37:44
  Brian McFadden: One went to the card, and the other one went knockout, yeah.
• 1:37:48
  Testecleese: Well, I heard they were all knockout.
• 1:37:52
  Testecleese: So apparently not, if one went to the card.
• 1:37:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they were good fights.
• 1:37:57
  Brian McFadden: They were definitely good fights.
• 1:37:59
  Testecleese: They're still on Paramount, right?
• 1:38:00
  Brian McFadden: Turn on Plus, yeah, free.
• 1:38:02
  Testecleese: I can still watch it.
• 1:38:03
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:38:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, I might check that out.
• 1:38:08
  Brian McFadden: Lynn, and they had,
• 1:38:10
  Brian McFadden: I can't… Jack Brown's band, or something, some country band did the national anthem.
• 1:38:17
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:38:18
  Brian McFadden: They did a fantastic job on it.
• 1:38:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, you know what's crazy about that is the dog.
• 1:38:23
  Brian McFadden: Zach Brown. Zach Brown.
• 1:38:24
  Testecleese: Yeah, Zach Brown, man, the daughter of some billionaire who hates Trump.
• 1:38:30
  Testecleese: Was part of the band and did it?
• 1:38:33
  Testecleese: Like, she was the vocalist, I guess?
• 1:38:35
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:38:37
  Testecleese: Like, there's a giant family crisis now.
• 1:38:40
  Brian McFadden: No, brother.
• 1:38:42
  Testecleese: I'm like, why?
• 1:38:42
  Brian McFadden: No credit.
• 1:38:44
  Brian McFadden: They got paid to do it, they didn't do it for free, I guarantee ya.
• 1:38:48
  Testecleese: If you did it for free, it was the 250th fucking birthday.
• 1:38:52
  Brian McFadden: The only thing I liked about that fight was, because a lot of the UFC matches I've been watching lately, Joe Rogan's not the main commentator, but I knew he would be at the White House, and sure as shit, he was there, and it was fantastic listening to Joe Rogan commentate again on the UFC.
• 1:39:11
  Testecleese: He talked a lot of shit, too.
• 1:39:13
  Brian McFadden: I… but he won't… I knew he wasn't gonna turn it down another chance to go to the White House.
• 1:39:22
  Testecleese: Yeah, meanwhile, some fucking, what, 23 people decide to try to attack the event, I guess?
• 1:39:29
  Brian McFadden: Oh, the drones, yeah.
• 1:39:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, they wanted to send in drones with explosives, then chase people out, and basically funnel them through a corridor, and then pick them off with sniper rifles.
• 1:39:41
  Brian McFadden: I think that happened at a concert festival in Las Vegas back in the day.
• 1:39:48
  Testecleese: I don't remember the drone strikes, but that might have been a part of it.
• 1:39:51
  Brian McFadden: Well, they were funneling the people through a certain area, and they were shooting them off in that area, so… They didn't have drones, but the funnel thing.
• 1:40:00
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:40:01
  Testecleese: Huh.
• 1:40:03
  Testecleese: One, a couple of these guys have been arrested now, but one of these 19-year-olds was arrested, and here's the problem with this 19-year-old piece of shit.
• 1:40:14
  Testecleese: Was, what, he was 10?
• 1:40:18
  Testecleese: When Trump came down the escalator?
• 1:40:21
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:40:22
  Brian McFadden: But he remembers it vividly?
• 1:40:25
  Testecleese: No, so he doesn't understand shit.
• 1:40:28
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:40:28
  Testecleese: The problem is, he's been told his entire life, Trump is Hitler.
• 1:40:32
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:40:32
  Testecleese: Republicans are Hitler.
• 1:40:34
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:40:34
  Testecleese: They must be killed, stopped by any means necessary.
• 1:40:38
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:40:39
  Testecleese: And they're like, oh, that's not what they mean. It's like, well, then why the fuck do people keep trying to kill people?
• 1:40:45
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:40:51
  Testecleese: And apparently these guys had an actual plan in place, which, by the way, was disrupted by the FBI.
• 1:40:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:40:57
  Testecleese: But this seems like a plan that I always talk about when I keep saying, like, terrorism isn't real.
• 1:41:03
  Testecleese: It's a bunch of bullshit. These guys had an actual plan.
• 1:41:07
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 1:41:07
  Testecleese: To actually cause damage.
• 1:41:09
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:41:12
  Testecleese: Well, it wasn't just a, oh, set up a bomb on the side of the road, or, you know what I mean? It was, do this, it's gonna create this. They were supposed to storm the White House at the end of this fucking raid, you know that, right?
• 1:41:27
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:41:28
  Brian McFadden: Good luck with that.
• 1:41:30
  Brian McFadden: There are snipers on the roof of the White House.
• 1:41:33
  Testecleese: This 19-year-old piece of shit, he wasn't, quote, involved, he just organized it. I say execute him.
• 1:41:42
  Brian McFadden: That'd be nice, but it won't happen.
• 1:41:44
  Testecleese: Why, he declared war against the United States.
• 1:41:48
  Brian McFadden: True.
• 1:41:49
  Brian McFadden: Still won't happen.
• 1:41:51
  Testecleese: Walt?
• 1:41:52
  Brian McFadden: We won't let it happen.
• 1:41:53
  Testecleese: I don't know, I think this new guy taking over DNI might change the opinions of the DOJ.
• 1:42:03
  Testecleese: was it Blanche, or whatever? I still can't remember his name.
• 1:42:06
  Brian McFadden: I don't know.
• 1:42:08
  Testecleese: He was the home… he was the, housing guy.
• 1:42:12
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:42:15
  Testecleese: But he's the one who brought up the mortgage charges and everything else, you know?
• 1:42:23
  Testecleese: But yeah, anyway, like you were saying, Joe Rogan did the show, and he's just telling these critics to, like, shut the fuck up.
• 1:42:28
  Brian McFadden: If you don't like it, don't watch it.
• 1:42:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, dude.
• 1:42:31
  Brian McFadden: Star is a…
• 1:42:33
  Testecleese: Yeah, you don't tune in if you don't want to see it, instead of trying to…
• 1:42:37
  Testecleese: Shut it down, because you don't want to be part of it.
• 1:42:40
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:42:41
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, they created their alternate show.
• 1:42:44
  Brian McFadden: No one left.
• 1:42:46
  Testecleese: Well, I got a good giggle.
• 1:42:48
  Testecleese: And the first thing I thought was the alternate halftime show.
• 1:42:51
  Brian McFadden: Right, right? The puppy… the puppy show?
• 1:42:55
  Testecleese: No.
• 1:42:55
  Brian McFadden: Super Bowl.
• 1:42:56
  Testecleese: that, TPUSA did for the Super Bowl last time.
• 1:43:00
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, I watched that, I watched part of that, I watched that.
• 1:43:04
  Testecleese: That was…
• 1:43:04
  Brian McFadden: That was better than Bad… that was better than Bad Bunny.
• 1:43:07
  Testecleese: But yeah, that was so you could watch the game, watch an entertaining show, and then go back to the game. This was, we're gonna show up in the middle of nowhere.
• 1:43:16
  Testecleese: to say, don't watch Trump.
• 1:43:20
  Testecleese: And oh my god, Bette Midler, De Niro, fucking Jane Fonda was the host!
• 1:43:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, in New York City.
• 1:43:29
  Testecleese: Jane Fonda.
• 1:43:31
  Brian McFadden: How old is she now?
• 1:43:33
  Testecleese: Oh my god, she's gotta be close to 70?
• 1:43:36
  Brian McFadden: I think it's higher than that, let me look at a…
• 1:43:39
  Testecleese: But, Brian, you're VFW, right?
• 1:43:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:43:43
  Testecleese: You still piss on her face?
• 1:43:45
  Brian McFadden: At the VFW in Hampton, in certain urinals, her face is still there, yeah, definitely.
• 1:43:51
  Brian McFadden: screws up there.
• 1:43:52
  Testecleese: It's not in Michigan?
• 1:43:55
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:43:58
  Testecleese: Buy the stickers, dude.
• 1:44:00
  Brian McFadden: I put them in, yeah.
• 1:44:05
  Testecleese: But yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:05
  Brian McFadden: also.
• 1:44:06
  Testecleese: I hope people realize that Hanoi Jane, her face is in the urinals, in the VFW, nationwide.
• 1:44:14
  Testecleese: Because she hates this.
• 1:44:16
  Brian McFadden: 88 years old, she'll turn 89 in December.
• 1:44:20
  Testecleese: 88, oh my god.
• 1:44:22
  Brian McFadden: Yep, I knew she was that pretty old.
• 1:44:26
  Testecleese: Yeah, she's a decrepit monster.
• 1:44:31
  Testecleese: Well, she… let's be real then, she hasn't been significant since the 70s, right?
• 1:44:36
  Brian McFadden: No, she's had a couple of shows on Netflix, and that's about it.
• 1:44:40
  Testecleese: Can you name one?
• 1:44:44
  Brian McFadden: I watched it, I can't name it now off the top of my head.
• 1:44:48
  Brian McFadden: He played an old person on a show on Netflix.
• 1:44:52
  Testecleese: I'm more likely to recognize and marry Tyler Moore Then Jane Vonda.
• 1:44:57
  Brian McFadden: Okay, yeah.
• 1:44:58
  Testecleese: Just hope you know that.
• 1:45:01
  Testecleese: But, I gotta say, that beret's a dead giveaway.
• 1:45:10
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:45:12
  Brian McFadden: And then, you know, we only got one more week of this, and then it'll be over.
• 1:45:17
  Brian McFadden: Pride Month.
• 1:45:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know you tried to bring up Pride Month, and I was trying to avoid it.
• 1:45:25
  Testecleese: Because it seems like this whole Pride thing is over.
• 1:45:29
  Brian McFadden: So, because we had San Francisco Giant players.
• 1:45:32
  Brian McFadden: Writing on their Pride Nate hats they were supposed to wear with Bible verses.
• 1:45:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, what's funny is because I… last time we talked about this, I specifically brought up MLB,
• 1:45:45
  Testecleese: Who's still doing this.
• 1:45:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:45:48
  Testecleese: I was like, no, Major League Baseball, yeah, yeah, and…
• 1:45:53
  Testecleese: What, to, San… San Diego.
• 1:45:57
  Testecleese: I believe, right?
• 1:45:58
  Brian McFadden: San Francisco.
• 1:46:00
  Testecleese: San Francisco, so it wasn't the Padres.
• 1:46:02
  Brian McFadden: No, it was the Giants.
• 1:46:04
  Testecleese: John, okay, I thought it was the Padres.
• 1:46:06
  Testecleese: Two plays refused.
• 1:46:09
  Testecleese: to wear the Pride hat, As it was, because they made him with his rainbow shit.
• 1:46:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:46:16
  Testecleese: And these guys decide to put Bible verses as to where the rainbow came from upon their hats.
• 1:46:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and people freaked out.
• 1:46:26
  Testecleese: Well… I think this is what you and I was saying a long time ago, Brian.
• 1:46:29
  Brian McFadden: Well, having a free speech.
• 1:46:31
  Testecleese: Well, I think, Christians need to take back the rainbow.
• 1:46:39
  Testecleese: And let's be 100% honest, Brian, it's not gonna be the Catholics.
• 1:46:43
  Testecleese: Right? Right. Every… historically, everyone looks at the Catholics to, like, do this shit, but let's be real… let's be 100% real, Catholicism has done nothing
• 1:46:54
  Testecleese: since, like, 1600s?
• 1:46:59
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:47:02
  Testecleese: Shit, it might have been 1400s.
• 1:47:07
  Testecleese: But… As I've mentioned before, the rainbow is up.
• 1:47:11
  Testecleese: a symbol of, Christianity.
• 1:47:14
  Brian McFadden: Yes, it is. We get rainbows here in Michigan all the time. Had a double rainbow this last week, as a matter of fact.
• 1:47:20
  Testecleese: Actually, you know what I found out was all rainbows are technically double rainbows, we just necessarily… can't always see them.
• 1:47:26
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:47:27
  Testecleese: what's even more cool is I found out that.
• 1:47:30
  Brian McFadden: There's a pot of gold at the end?
• 1:47:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, no. There's a… there's a place here in West Virginia that has a… Regular recurring moonbow.
• 1:47:40
  Brian McFadden: Moonbow, okay.
• 1:47:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, enough sun reflects off the moon back to the Earth at this waterfall to create a rainbow across the waterfall.
• 1:47:52
  Testecleese: you just have to make sure it's not, like, a cloudy night.
• 1:47:59
  Testecleese: And you can go check out this moonbow.
• 1:48:04
  Testecleese: Like, on any full moon?
• 1:48:07
  Testecleese: And I don't know, I just thought it was really cool, you know?
• 1:48:11
  Testecleese: I didn't realize that was a thing.
• 1:48:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I never heard of it before.
• 1:48:16
  Testecleese: Apparently it's the only place in this hemisphere you can reliably find one is at this waterfall, but…
• 1:48:25
  Testecleese: Apparently, it's sitting at just, just the right angle.
• 1:48:28
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:48:32
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 1:48:33
  Testecleese: Anyway… Anyway… Major League Baseball, well, I think they fined these guys, like, $10,000 apiece?
• 1:48:42
  Brian McFadden: I thought it was just verbal.
• 1:48:44
  Testecleese: Oh, originally, originally.
• 1:48:47
  Testecleese: But then they find him 10 grand apiece, and some other dude…
• 1:48:51
  Testecleese: Pulled… reached into his pocket and paid the fine.
• 1:48:54
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:48:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and I mean, there's a Republican senator that's demanding answers from LOB about the discrimination over warning the players. And then you got a state senator from San Francisco that's trying to take over what he wants to be Nancy Pelosi's replacement, who is gay.
• 1:49:14
  Brian McFadden: He says he's all pissed off that they were… that they defaced the LGBTQRPPARP ads.
• 1:49:24
  Testecleese: Wasn't it funny you said that.
• 1:49:27
  Brian McFadden: Somebody had to say it!
• 1:49:31
  Brian McFadden: We haven't said it in a while, so…
• 1:49:36
  Brian McFadden: And then there's Oklahoma Minor League.
• 1:49:38
  Testecleese: Hey, ARP!
• 1:49:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. And there's a whole minor league team that they refused to participate in their Pride jerseys, so they had to forfeit a game.
• 1:49:49
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 1:49:49
  Brian McFadden: Hallelujah, so people are still…
• 1:49:52
  Brian McFadden: Standing up for this crap. And, you know, it's not as popular as people think it is.
• 1:50:01
  Brian McFadden: But, Mayor Mondani, he's, he's sticking with it. He's announced $15 million for gender-affirming care in the city of New York, so…
• 1:50:11
  Brian McFadden: If… if you're…
• 1:50:12
  Testecleese: The baseball thing.
• 1:50:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:50:15
  Testecleese: That was out of York, Pennsylvania.
• 1:50:19
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:50:20
  Testecleese: Refused… enough employees refused to wear the rainbow jersey.
• 1:50:26
  Brian McFadden: I have no problem with that.
• 1:50:28
  Testecleese: Boy, here's the crazy thing.
• 1:50:31
  Testecleese: The manager of the team had to come out and say, if you don't wear the jerseys, we're not playing.
• 1:50:36
  Testecleese: Right. And enough players said, okay, then we're not playing, and they just didn't play.
• 1:50:42
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 1:50:43
  Testecleese: Well, what do you get paid for?
• 1:50:46
  Brian McFadden: Play,
• 1:50:47
  Testecleese: Playing baseball, right?
• 1:50:48
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, so…
• 1:50:49
  Testecleese: You know what that…
• 1:50:50
  Brian McFadden: like…
• 1:50:50
  Testecleese: And you're… you're a AA team? Like, you don't.
• 1:50:54
  Brian McFadden: You're not making a million dollars, so…
• 1:50:56
  Testecleese: Yeah, you're not even next in line.
• 1:50:58
  Testecleese: For the big leagues.
• 1:51:00
  Brian McFadden: So, you know, that's saying something about their commitment to it, you know, that they're willing to give up what little pay they do make for a game to do this, so…
• 1:51:08
  Testecleese: And most of these guys… most of these guys are carpenters and plumbers, let's be real.
• 1:51:14
  Testecleese: You know, you get some executives, you know, etc, etc.
• 1:51:19
  Testecleese: But, like, the people… Don't wanna do your bullshit.
• 1:51:26
  Testecleese: No, we've had enough.
• 1:51:27
  Brian McFadden: I just want to go to games and enjoy the game. I don't care… I don't want to go there on Pride Night. I don't want to go there on their weird…
• 1:51:35
  Brian McFadden: Weird hosting nights thing, you know?
• 1:51:39
  Testecleese: No, I know!
• 1:51:39
  Brian McFadden: I wanna go to the game, enjoy it. I'm looking for an escape from my life, you know?
• 1:51:44
  Testecleese: That's exactly what sports are supposed to be, is an escape from your life. You can get away for a minute.
• 1:51:50
  Testecleese: and not deal with all this shit, and watch a baseball game, and now you're being told that you're a fucking Nazi, because you don't think that RuPaul's a sexy bitch.
• 1:52:00
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:52:02
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:52:06
  Brian McFadden: You're racist if you think that.
• 1:52:09
  Testecleese: racist or sexist? I don't… who knows?
• 1:52:14
  Brian McFadden: I guess it depends on how you look at RuPaul.
• 1:52:18
  Testecleese: I… I try not to, honestly.
• 1:52:22
  Testecleese: No, no, for real, good for RuPaul. This man has done very well for himself, right?
• 1:52:28
  Brian McFadden: Yes, he has, yeah, yeah.
• 1:52:29
  Testecleese: very successful.
• 1:52:31
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 1:52:32
  Brian McFadden: He's all about the drag shows.
• 1:52:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, oh, the drag races, okay, you've seen it too.
• 1:52:41
  Testecleese: No, this dude's making money hand over fist!
• 1:52:44
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:52:47
  Testecleese: Good for him!
• 1:52:48
  Testecleese: Good for him!
• 1:52:51
  Testecleese: I just don't think this shit should be up for children.
• 1:52:53
  Brian McFadden: No. No, definitely not. And people bring their kids to baseball games.
• 1:53:00
  Testecleese: Exactly.
• 1:53:01
  Testecleese: And just like at the UFC thing, people were worried about, like, No, you can't have, like…
• 1:53:08
  Testecleese: displays on the White House lawn. Under Biden, he had that fucking trans dude flashing his tits.
• 1:53:16
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:53:17
  Testecleese: You know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 1:53:19
  Testecleese: Granted, I believe he got escorted off the property, After the fact?
• 1:53:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:53:26
  Testecleese: But it was the environment you created.
• 1:53:30
  Testecleese: We… we didn't even see natural-born women flashing their tits at UFC 250, did we?
• 1:53:37
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:53:38
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:53:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, you know what, that just tells me it's not fucking 1990 anymore.
• 1:53:43
  Testecleese: That was a thing.
• 1:53:45
  Testecleese: Before, like, 2000, wasn't it?
• 1:53:48
  Brian McFadden: Yup, exactly was.
• 1:53:50
  Testecleese: You remember flashing, don't ya?
• 1:53:52
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, you go to New Orleans, it happened all the time.
• 1:53:55
  Testecleese: Hey, go to a concert, get right up next to the stage, turn around. There's gonna be boobs.
• 1:54:04
  Testecleese: Oh, Jesus Christ, what a different world it was, huh?
• 1:54:08
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:54:09
  Testecleese: The crazy thing, it was in the same world for so long.
• 1:54:17
  Testecleese: And yeah, things might be changing, but…
• 1:54:20
  Testecleese: You can't change things too quick, or else you get fight back.
• 1:54:24
  Testecleese: And I think that's the issue we're getting with the Democrats, is they're trying to change things too quickly.
• 1:54:30
  Brian McFadden: Well, they're trying to change things that the average American doesn't want to have anything to do with.
• 1:54:36
  Testecleese: Give me an example.
• 1:54:37
  Brian McFadden: They're… they're in their little… their little sphere.
• 1:54:41
  Brian McFadden: And they think that because they're in their little sphere, everybody thinks the same way as they do.
• 1:54:46
  Brian McFadden: And they don't.
• 1:54:47
  Testecleese: Oh, they're echo chambers.
• 1:54:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:54:51
  Testecleese: Yeah, they don't understand that people disagree, and when people do, they must just be…
• 1:54:56
  Testecleese: Do they think they're evil or stupid? That's the question.
• 1:55:00
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:55:02
  Testecleese: Well, because from what I've seen throughout my life is that, your average Democrat thinks that your average Republican is evil.
• 1:55:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:55:11
  Testecleese: And your average Republican looks at your average Democrat and thinks that they're misinformed.
• 1:55:16
  Brian McFadden: Bro.
• 1:55:21
  Testecleese: How do you have a conversation with that? This sounds like religious ideology, doesn't it?
• 1:55:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:55:28
  Testecleese: You know as well as I, you cannot argue against religious ideology.
• 1:55:33
  Brian McFadden: No. I mean, the wars have broken out over that, around the world, multiple times, over the…
• 1:55:38
  Testecleese: Still occurring.
• 1:55:40
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:55:41
  Testecleese: Let's be real, Israel's been a contested land since before Israel existed, right?
• 1:55:46
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:55:51
  Testecleese: I don't know, Brian.
• 1:55:53
  Testecleese: How do we fix it?
• 1:55:58
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's funny, in a beautiful communist dream, it would fix it.
• 1:56:04
  Testecleese: We could just give everything, everyone, everything they needed.
• 1:56:10
  Testecleese: The problem is you don't have enough to give that much. Right.
• 1:56:14
  Brian McFadden: Ew.
• 1:56:16
  Testecleese: And a lot of these folks don't realize that.
• 1:56:18
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:56:19
  Testecleese: They think Elon Musk alone could solve this problem.
• 1:56:23
  Testecleese: But they don't realize that, like, there's 2 billion people in fucking India.
• 1:56:29
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:56:31
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:56:33
  Testecleese: We gave them all $100.
• 1:56:37
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:56:38
  Testecleese: Vegas… Elon Musk's money.
• 1:56:43
  Testecleese: You know? That's… that's $100 to each Indian. Boom.
• 1:56:48
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, there you go, yep, everybody's rich.
• 1:56:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, $100? Dude, let's be real, how fast would $100 be gone if you just were… okay. If you just handed 100 bucks, boom, here you go, buddy.
• 1:57:02
  Testecleese: How fast will that one be gone?
• 1:57:04
  Brian McFadden: Fastener put it in my hand.
• 1:57:08
  Testecleese: You'd find something else to spend it on.
• 1:57:10
  Brian McFadden: Yep, exactly, quickly.
• 1:57:12
  Brian McFadden: You'd be afraid that they're coming back for their money again.
• 1:57:16
  Testecleese: I think we need to go back to our instincts and our natural abilities a little bit, and go back to…
• 1:57:23
  Testecleese: Making sure you're gonna survive.
• 1:57:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:57:28
  Testecleese: Well, I mean, let's be real, all these protesters screaming…
• 1:57:31
  Testecleese: If we weren't giving them money.
• 1:57:36
  Testecleese: And not you and me giving them money, but, like, people just handing them money to bitch!
• 1:57:43
  Testecleese: How quickly would they be dead?
• 1:57:47
  Brian McFadden: Pretty damn quick.
• 1:57:50
  Brian McFadden: I'm in the middle of a catfight right here, so…
• 1:57:54
  Testecleese: Yeah. Showed you my new kitty, I got, well, my… one of my new… two new kitties.
• 1:57:59
  Testecleese: Hey, when I mentioned Babu to you, did you… you recognized the name, didn't you?
• 1:58:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, he's an ape.
• 1:58:06
  Testecleese: What?
• 1:58:07
  Brian McFadden: Bamboo?
• 1:58:09
  Testecleese: Baboo was the, the ocelot from, Archer.
• 1:58:16
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I watched Arts for a little while, for a while, on FX.
• 1:58:22
  Testecleese: Archer was hilarious. Did you see the Baboo episodes with the cat?
• 1:58:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:58:28
  Testecleese: Alright, the… by the way, when I say cat.
• 1:58:32
  Testecleese: That's like calling a bobcat a cat.
• 1:58:34
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 1:58:36
  Testecleese: An ocelot is not a fucking house cat.
• 1:58:39
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:58:40
  Testecleese: Anyone who might be listening?
• 1:58:42
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:58:45
  Testecleese: Big, big kitty.
• 1:58:47
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:58:48
  Testecleese: Well, shit, they weigh, what, something like 50 pounds or something stupid?
• 1:58:53
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:58:53
  Testecleese: 45, 50 pounds?
• 1:58:56
  Testecleese: It's funny, because the wife was talking to me once, we were talking about getting a cat, and I was like, well, I want… I want a Maine Coon.
• 1:59:05
  Testecleese: And she's like, really? I said, yeah, I want, like, a 40-pound cap.
• 1:59:09
  Testecleese: He's like, what are you gonna do with it? I'm like, I will have a giant cat.
• 1:59:13
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:59:16
  Testecleese: And she's like, well, where's it gonna go? I was like, we have literally,
• 1:59:22
  Testecleese: 100,000 acres behind us that's uninhabited. Let them go out and do their… let them go out and do his thing.
• 1:59:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:59:33
  Testecleese: But then she's like, okay, okay, you tell me everything great about having a 40-pound cat. Tell me what could go wrong.
• 1:59:42
  Testecleese: And I was like, oh, Jesus Christ, what could go wrong with a 40-pound cat?
• 1:59:46
  Brian McFadden: Diabetes?
• 1:59:47
  Testecleese: No, no, I was like, I didn't even go that way, I was like, I could literally rip my throat out if it decided it didn't like me, you know what I mean? It would just pounce, and it's over, you know?
• 1:59:59
  Testecleese: People don't understand how ridiculously dangerous cats are.
• 2:00:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:00:06
  Testecleese: Now, okay.
• 2:00:07
  Testecleese: You've, you've owned the Cats before, right?
• 2:00:10
  Brian McFadden: Oh, for all my life.
• 2:00:11
  Testecleese: And you've seen them catch wild prey, right?
• 2:00:14
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:00:15
  Testecleese: And you watch him play with it and swat it around?
• 2:00:18
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 2:00:19
  Testecleese: Now imagine that's you.
• 2:00:24
  Testecleese: Everything here, but she has just a vibe, and he goes, smack, smack, smack!
• 2:00:27
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 2:00:32
  Testecleese: I was like, no, don't get me wrong, it's like a 40-pound cat hit me in the head with its paw, it's not like a fucking lion.
• 2:00:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:00:39
  Testecleese: But it'll rip my face apart, it'll cut me apart, before I have a chance to even realize it jumped, you know?
• 2:00:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:00:51
  Testecleese: I think she might have talked me out of it, but I still…
• 2:00:54
  Testecleese: I still want a big cat.
• 2:00:56
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:00:58
  Testecleese: Well, I mean, I got critters in the house, dude. I have something in my fucking attic, I don't know what the fuck it is, but it's definitely bigger than a chipmunk or a squirrel.
• 2:01:08
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we've seen a mouse in the house here, and the cats definitely keep an eye on where the mouse came out in the kitchen, you know, so they're…
• 2:01:16
  Brian McFadden: We're on patrol.
• 2:01:17
  Testecleese: There you go.
• 2:01:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, there's something in my attic that, I think it's either a possum or a raccoon.
• 2:01:25
  Brian McFadden: That's a big animal in your attic.
• 2:01:27
  Testecleese: And I do not want to go up there and deal with it myself.
• 2:01:31
  Brian McFadden: You heard my baby possum story, right? Back in the day?
• 2:01:34
  Testecleese: Oh, maybe, I don't know, tell me, please.
• 2:01:36
  Brian McFadden: So, one night, Kathy came into the kitchen, and all the cats were, like, circled around the food bowl, just staring at it, and there were a possum… there was a baby possum in there eating the cat food.
• 2:01:52
  Testecleese: Oh, just hanging out in your house.
• 2:01:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah! Yeah! And the cats are, like, just staring at us, like, you're bigger than we are, we're not gonna fuck with you.
• 2:02:00
  Testecleese: Yay!
• 2:02:01
  Brian McFadden: So…
• 2:02:01
  Testecleese: Who are you?
• 2:02:02
  Brian McFadden: So we put it in a cat carrier, trapped it in the cat carrier, and took it over to the dog park down the road and let it go, you know?
• 2:02:10
  Testecleese: died.
• 2:02:11
  Brian McFadden: I don't know, well, I mean, it was a pretty big baby possum. It wasn't, like, on the mother's milk or anything anymore, it was eating cat food.
• 2:02:20
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:02:22
  Brian McFadden: I'm sure he bought a trash can again.
• 2:02:23
  Testecleese: In your house.
• 2:02:24
  Brian McFadden: point.
• 2:02:25
  Testecleese: In your house.
• 2:02:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah!
• 2:02:28
  Testecleese: What a terrifying animal that is.
• 2:02:30
  Brian McFadden: I know!
• 2:02:33
  Testecleese: No.
• 2:02:33
  Brian McFadden: With a full-grown possum at all!
• 2:02:37
  Testecleese: I know, it's a marsupial, first of all, right? It's the only marsupial in North America.
• 2:02:43
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:02:44
  Testecleese: Check this out.
• 2:02:46
  Testecleese: It's immune to rabies.
• 2:02:49
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay, wow.
• 2:02:52
  Testecleese: I know, actually, here's what's awesome, we might actually get a vaccine for rabies, a proper vaccine.
• 2:02:58
  Testecleese: through… this animal.
• 2:03:01
  Brian McFadden: And… from Fauci?
• 2:03:03
  Testecleese: Well, Fauci's not there anymore.
• 2:03:07
  Testecleese: No, but the possum is, immune to rabies. Yeah. So, like, we might actually get, like, a proper vaccine for rabies.
• 2:03:14
  Testecleese: Through possum blood.
• 2:03:17
  Brian McFadden: Right, okay.
• 2:03:19
  Testecleese: It's wild, but it's a terrifying animal.
• 2:03:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:03:23
  Testecleese: Those… those pink eyes in the light and the dark.
• 2:03:28
  Testecleese: And the… the razor teeth?
• 2:03:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:03:33
  Brian McFadden: So if you lie about being gay in California, you go to jail?
• 2:03:38
  Testecleese: Well, California has offered an incentive tax package for anyone who's not a white dude.
• 2:03:46
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 2:03:46
  Testecleese: Okay. Not a white heterosexual.
• 2:03:49
  Brian McFadden: So, everybody's gay.
• 2:03:50
  Testecleese: Well… And that's the thing is…
• 2:03:54
  Testecleese: When they… they released all the different things, and none of them said, if you're a white man, you don't apply, but…
• 2:04:02
  Testecleese: they all pointed to that, you know what I mean? It's like, there's the only… white heterosexual male is the only thing not listed on any of these things as a minority.
• 2:04:14
  Testecleese: And what, what, white heterosexual men?
• 2:04:17
  Testecleese: Makes up something like, what, 15% of the population, maybe?
• 2:04:23
  Brian McFadden: Both higher.
• 2:04:25
  Testecleese: Huh?
• 2:04:26
  Brian McFadden: I bet it's higher than that.
• 2:04:27
  Testecleese: I don't know, male alone cuts it in half, by more than half. There are more women than men, right?
• 2:04:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:04:34
  Testecleese: Now, factor in every other ethnicity, now factor in sexuality.
• 2:04:40
  Brian McFadden: I'm just…
• 2:04:40
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? Yeah. I was just… I'm gonna say, I pulled that number out of my ass.
• 2:04:45
  Testecleese: You're right. Go ahead and… go ahead, ask your chat GM.
• 2:04:48
  Brian McFadden: I'm working on them.
• 2:04:49
  Testecleese: Let's find out what percentage of the United States is white, heterosexual male.
• 2:04:59
  Testecleese: I forgot where I was going with this, I just…
• 2:05:02
  Testecleese: Got a good laugh out of you, bringing up.
• 2:05:06
  Testecleese: oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The gay thing. California.
• 2:05:14
  Testecleese: They passed laws against basically being a white heterosexual male, so a lot of people are pretending to be gay.
• 2:05:21
  Brian McFadden: I would too if I got a tax break.
• 2:05:24
  Testecleese: Exactly. That's exactly what was happening.
• 2:05:27
  Testecleese: And now California wants to prove you're homosexual.
• 2:05:32
  Brian McFadden: So, let's see here.
• 2:05:34
  Testecleese: It's like asking to prove.
• 2:05:35
  Brian McFadden: U.S. population, 58 to 80, 60% of the lives as white only.
• 2:05:44
  Brian McFadden: 49% of those are male.
• 2:05:46
  Brian McFadden: And 85-90% are heterosexual.
• 2:05:51
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 2:05:52
  Brian McFadden: So… In a population of 340 million in the U.S, that'd be approximately 80 to a million.
• 2:06:00
  Brian McFadden: And they're saying between 24 and 27% are white heterosexual males. Thank you, ChetGPT.
• 2:06:08
  Testecleese: So, somewhere closer to 100 million Americans of white heterosexual males. I don't believe that. I believe it's lower end of that spectrum.
• 2:06:20
  Brian McFadden: But still, like, in the 24… it's like a quarter of the population.
• 2:06:25
  Testecleese: No, it can't be a quarter of the population.
• 2:06:28
  Brian McFadden: Why not?
• 2:06:30
  Testecleese: Because there's a black population, there's a female population.
• 2:06:38
  Testecleese: There's a huge Hispanic population. There's just no way these numbers are accurate.
• 2:06:44
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 2:06:47
  Testecleese: I don't know, or maybe this is the last census when we weren't allowed to find out a lot of this stuff yet.
• 2:06:55
  Brian McFadden: Well, in other exciting news, the Obama Center opened up this weekend.
• 2:07:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, you, you shared a bunch about this.
• 2:07:04
  Testecleese: Tell me all about it while I go take a piss and find my bag of weed.
• 2:07:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they had a, the, Presidential… Obama Presidential Center, it's not even called the Presidential Library.
• 2:07:18
  Brian McFadden: Endowment is sitting on $1 million.
• 2:07:22
  Brian McFadden: Of its, 4.7 hundred million goal, and…
• 2:07:28
  Brian McFadden: The costs are going through the roof on it, but it's all built now.
• 2:07:32
  Brian McFadden: Not paid for yet, because there's reports that, many subcontractors claim that there's still millions of dollars that haven't been unpaid.
• 2:07:45
  Brian McFadden: So,
• 2:07:47
  Brian McFadden: scandal always starts with this place before it's even really open for business. And, they had a big, huge private concert where there was a bunch of people that lives there. One of the bushes that's not really a Republican was there.
• 2:08:03
  Brian McFadden: And, and they,
• 2:08:08
  Brian McFadden: they… the Dems did their normal thing, where they came out and acknowledged that the land wasn't theirs, and that it really was owned by Native Americans.
• 2:08:19
  Brian McFadden: So that, they… I talked about, Valerie Jarrett.
• 2:08:25
  Brian McFadden: She used to be the, senior advisor to Obama when he was president, and she's now the CEO of the Obama Foundation. Wow. Talk about…
• 2:08:35
  Brian McFadden: Making some money.
• 2:08:39
  Brian McFadden: But she honored the,
• 2:08:41
  Brian McFadden: Anashebel, Council of Three Fires, the Owabi, and the Odabi, and the Potawatomie Nations. We have Pottawatomie here in Michigan, too, since Chicago is right near us.
• 2:08:53
  Brian McFadden: And that it was exten- stolen land, but a lot of Republicans came out and said, well, if it's really stolen land, why are you acknowledging the Indians and not just giving the land back to the Native Americans, like you should?
• 2:09:08
  Brian McFadden: Well, that's not gonna happen.
• 2:09:12
  Testecleese: Wait, this Obama garbage?
• 2:09:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:09:15
  Brian McFadden: And then native Bell Ruggera and her acknowledgement of all the Indian tribes that own the land.
• 2:09:21
  Brian McFadden: That… that we stole it from. Well, if we stole it from, then they stole it from them, so if they really want to be sincere, they should give it back to the Native Americans.
• 2:09:33
  Testecleese: Didn't King George do that in Canada?
• 2:09:38
  Brian McFadden: I don't know.
• 2:09:40
  Brian McFadden: I'm American, I don't know anything about Canada.
• 2:09:43
  Testecleese: Well, we talked about it on this show, when King George is…
• 2:09:46
  Testecleese: gave back a whole bunch of Native lands to the Native Americans. When I say Native Americans, I mean the American continents, not the United States of America.
• 2:09:59
  Testecleese: Oh, I forgot to grab you a new beer.
• 2:10:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I haven't.
• 2:10:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know.
• 2:10:05
  Testecleese: They got my bag.
• 2:10:08
  Brian McFadden: Alright, priorities.
• 2:10:10
  Testecleese: I know, oh, well, shit, we're already down here?
• 2:10:14
  Brian McFadden: I'm working on it.
• 2:10:16
  Testecleese: Now, I know, you're doing good.
• 2:10:18
  Brian McFadden: We've been going for two and a half hours, so… I know, but this.
• 2:10:22
  Testecleese: This has been a good talk, hasn't it?
• 2:10:24
  Brian McFadden: Yeah?
• 2:10:26
  Testecleese: But you see this nutjob in Pendleton?
• 2:10:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I think I should.
• 2:10:31
  Testecleese: Go away.
• 2:10:32
  Brian McFadden: ago.
• 2:10:32
  Testecleese: I'm gonna go grab a beer, but I'm gonna ask you, before we start…
• 2:10:37
  Testecleese: How did this man not get shot?
• 2:10:39
  Brian McFadden: I don't know!
• 2:10:40
  Testecleese: Before this happened.
• 2:10:42
  Brian McFadden: I don't know! I mean, if you're avoiding a gun, a car chase, and you flee onto a military base.
• 2:10:51
  Brian McFadden: You should definitely then shot as you try to come through the gate, no questions asked.
• 2:10:58
  Brian McFadden: But…
• 2:10:59
  Testecleese: Well, here's the thing, is a lot of people don't realize, they think, like, the, the, the…
• 2:11:04
  Testecleese: military base starts at, like, the gate. It's actually, like, a mile outside of that, just so people… it's not even, like, 50 feet or 100 feet, it's, like, a mile. So, just so shit go wrong, it's still on federal…
• 2:11:19
  Brian McFadden: I'll be a notch.
• 2:11:20
  Testecleese: Virginia.
• 2:11:21
  Brian McFadden: He crashed through the gate on the base, and then he had been in his vehicle in military housing with 110 pounds of cocaine and fentanyl in the car.
• 2:11:31
  Brian McFadden: And he tried to… Camp Pendleton's a huge base, and there's a lot of rural area in this base. Yes.
• 2:11:38
  Testecleese: You could disappear for a while.
• 2:11:40
  Brian McFadden: You could, you could, for a while.
• 2:11:42
  Testecleese: You'll get caught, but you could disappear for a while. And here's the thing, is I brought this up to the wife, and I even said, how did he not get shot right away?
• 2:11:51
  Brian McFadden: You could have came through a gate that wasn't actually open and wasn't manned.
• 2:11:55
  Testecleese: Well, she brought up the, the concrete barriers they can shoot up.
• 2:12:00
  Testecleese: Yeah. You know what I'm talking about?
• 2:12:01
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I know.
• 2:12:02
  Testecleese: They must, they must have done that. I was like, well, he got through.
• 2:12:05
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:12:06
  Testecleese: Like, why didn't they shoot him?
• 2:12:08
  Testecleese: And then she's like, honestly, I don't know.
• 2:12:11
  Brian McFadden: That's why I'm thinking…
• 2:12:12
  Testecleese: You know, you'.
• 2:12:12
  Brian McFadden: Good on me, I think that's.
• 2:12:14
  Testecleese: If you're invading the United States military space, you get shot on site for that.
• 2:12:19
  Brian McFadden: That's why I think he came through an unmanned gate.
• 2:12:22
  Testecleese: But don't they usually put up the concrete barriers if they're… if it's unmanned?
• 2:12:28
  Brian McFadden: Most of the time, if those things are exempt.
• 2:12:30
  Testecleese: Just so this shit can't happen?
• 2:12:33
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:12:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:12:35
  Testecleese: Especially Camp Pendleton, near residential housing? You're telling me I could just fucking smash through the gate and start off a bomb in the housing on base?
• 2:12:45
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:12:46
  Testecleese: This is upsetting to me.
• 2:12:49
  Brian McFadden: Ugh.
• 2:12:51
  Brian McFadden: Understandable.
• 2:12:53
  Testecleese: Well… Secretary of War, Hegg Seth.
• 2:12:59
  Testecleese: Please do something about this. This is absolutely unacceptable.
• 2:13:04
  Brian McFadden: It is.
• 2:13:05
  Testecleese: I can't believe… I can't believe the man got on base, honestly. Right.
• 2:13:10
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:13:11
  Testecleese: No, like, for real, as soon as…
• 2:13:14
  Testecleese: He's wrecked his car trying to get on base, or once he got on base, and then fled on foot, he should have been shot.
• 2:13:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, no arrests, shoot on sight.
• 2:13:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, and you could say, oh, that's not right. This is a United States military,
• 2:13:30
  Testecleese: site, you have no idea what.
• 2:13:33
  Brian McFadden: Marine Corps base.
• 2:13:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, yes. You have no idea what he's here for or what he's doing. You do not fuck around with the United States military.
• 2:13:42
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 2:13:44
  Testecleese: And…
• 2:13:45
  Testecleese: I'm gonna give my respects to the Marines, they absolutely deserve it, but I will say, once again, they are Navy.
• 2:13:52
  Brian McFadden: Department of the Navy.
• 2:13:53
  Testecleese: Yes, and the Navy doesn't like when you fuck with their shit.
• 2:13:57
  Brian McFadden: No, neither do the Marines.
• 2:14:00
  Testecleese: Well, that's because they're Navy!
• 2:14:02
  Testecleese: Let's be real, most, marine camps are on Navy bases.
• 2:14:08
  Testecleese: And I'm not sure that's something everyone realizes, every… everything…
• 2:14:17
  Testecleese: is typically called a military base, but only Navy has bases.
• 2:14:24
  Testecleese: the, the army has forts, the Marines have camps.
• 2:14:30
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:14:30
  Testecleese: the… what does the Air Force has? Oh, no.
• 2:14:33
  Brian McFadden: Therefore, it's heavy.
• 2:14:34
  Testecleese: The Air Force has bases, I'm sorry, the Navy has stations, right?
• 2:14:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:14:39
  Brian McFadden: We have vases, too, but…
• 2:14:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, but they're not bases, they're stations. Like Naval Station Norfolk, right?
• 2:14:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:14:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, and…
• 2:14:51
  Testecleese: And that's the thing that people don't realize, like, when you are not here, camp, whatever, we automatically know.
• 2:14:56
  Brian McFadden: No, it's Marine, yep, huh? Yep.
• 2:14:58
  Testecleese: Automatic, boom! What happened on a fucking marine camp, you know?
• 2:15:02
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:15:05
  Testecleese: Dude, did you see the fucking wreckage of the…
• 2:15:08
  Brian McFadden: It did, it was insane. And then… and then there's another article came out that one of the people on the plane said days earlier there was something wrong with it.
• 2:15:17
  Brian McFadden: you know, one of the contractors that was doing it, because this is, like, a hybrid B-52 that they were upgrading the radar on and stuff, so it was a.
• 2:15:27
  Testecleese: That's possible.
• 2:15:27
  Brian McFadden: It's test flight.
• 2:15:29
  Testecleese: Oh, that's why all these weird people were on it?
• 2:15:31
  Brian McFadden: You know?
• 2:15:31
  Testecleese: I looked at the list of people that died, because there were 8 dead, and I was like, what were these guys doing here? And the wife said the same thing.
• 2:15:38
  Brian McFadden: Therefore.
• 2:15:39
  Testecleese: I even said, I was like, Let's be real.
• 2:15:42
  Testecleese: The United States military is not advertising what they're doing to learn shit.
• 2:15:47
  Brian McFadden: No, they were… they were putting new radar on it. They were testing it out through radar.
• 2:15:52
  Testecleese: The problem is, Brian, Was when was the last time the United States militi… The United States…
• 2:15:58
  Testecleese: stamped out a B-52.
• 2:16:03
  Brian McFadden: Let me ask, let me look into it.
• 2:16:06
  Testecleese: Yeah, ex- exactly, Brian.
• 2:16:09
  Testecleese: What, 50 years?
• 2:16:11
  Brian McFadden: Probably.
• 2:16:13
  Testecleese: That just means we're down… because we're still using B52!
• 2:16:18
  Brian McFadden: That's who we are.
• 2:16:19
  Testecleese: It's still the what-the-fuck bomber, isn't it?
• 2:16:21
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, B2 or B.
• 2:16:23
  Testecleese: Isn't that what we… isn't that what we did with Iran the first time, when we took out the nuclear style? It was a B-52?
• 2:16:29
  Brian McFadden: Are you ready for this? It was before my time! I wasn't even alive yet, it was October of 1962.
• 2:16:42
  Testecleese: 62, okay.
• 2:16:43
  Brian McFadden: Yo!
• 2:16:44
  Testecleese: So, we just lost the B-52, and we're still using them. Do we need to make more?
• 2:16:51
  Brian McFadden: As of right now, the B-52s are 63 to 65 years old. I don't think so. I think they're expecting to keep… the Air Force wants to keep the fleet in active service.
• 2:17:02
  Brian McFadden: Into the 2050s.
• 2:17:05
  Brian McFadden: Meaning…
• 2:17:05
  Testecleese: But just be… Which means…
• 2:17:07
  Brian McFadden: He'd be 100 years old!
• 2:17:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, but that… but that also means maintenance, and you replace pieces before it needs to be… you can make that happen, don't get me wrong, but why not build a new one?
• 2:17:20
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:17:22
  Testecleese: And if you're gonna build a new one, let's design a new one. Right.
• 2:17:26
  Brian McFadden: I think that was… wasn't the B1 supposed to replace the B-52s?
• 2:17:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, but that was a joke.
• 2:17:33
  Testecleese: The B-1 could drop one bomb.
• 2:17:35
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 2:17:36
  Testecleese: The B-52 could take out two cities.
• 2:17:40
  Testecleese: I'm pretty sure… wasn't it the B52 that carried the.
• 2:17:44
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 2:17:45
  Testecleese: big Boy, or whatever it was?
• 2:17:47
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:17:50
  Brian McFadden: So, the, air Force One.
• 2:17:53
  Testecleese: There we go, there we go! There we go, there we go, Brian. We're going back to World War II.
• 2:17:59
  Testecleese: weaponry that we still want to keep in use in the United States.
• 2:18:04
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:18:06
  Testecleese: But yeah, but the wreckage, oh my god, dude, the explosion…
• 2:18:11
  Testecleese: And everyone who died, there's no way anyone survived that.
• 2:18:15
  Testecleese: On board that burned so hot.
• 2:18:18
  Brian McFadden: Fuel.
• 2:18:20
  Testecleese: Dude, it turned everything to ash.
• 2:18:23
  Brian McFadden: it'll…
• 2:18:23
  Testecleese: minutes.
• 2:18:24
  Testecleese: It was a.
• 2:18:25
  Brian McFadden: Fully fueled plane, fully fueled jet that took off.
• 2:18:28
  Testecleese: Jet fuel won't do that.
• 2:18:33
  Testecleese: It was, the wreckage is insane, and we, like I said, we lost B-52,
• 2:18:43
  Testecleese: You saw the video of the firefighting crew showing up and everything?
• 2:18:48
  Brian McFadden: It's a Class Delta Fire.
• 2:18:51
  Testecleese: Yeah, how do you put that out?
• 2:18:53
  Brian McFadden: You know?
• 2:18:54
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? Well, you need to know what is on fire.
• 2:18:58
  Brian McFadden: You let it burn out.
• 2:19:00
  Testecleese: Typically, exactly. You get the fuck out of the way and you let it burn. No, you CAN put it out, but I was like, why? Right?
• 2:19:10
  Brian McFadden: And Air Force One has been retired now. The, 747-200B.
• 2:19:16
  Brian McFadden: It entered service in 1990, since 1990.
• 2:19:20
  Testecleese: There you go, Bush did use it then, didn't he?
• 2:19:23
  Brian McFadden: They've been trying to come up… Boeing's trying to come up with a new Air Force One for, like, 20 years now.
• 2:19:29
  Brian McFadden: And, Trump's really pushed the issue, and what Trump did when his first term in office was, is he put it into the contract that Boeing couldn't charge the U.S. government for any cost overruns.
• 2:19:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, he actually specifically said this about Air Force One, and was like, what the fuck you bringing that up for? He's like, well, he realized it was time for a new one.
• 2:19:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and he knew that typical government contracts, you know, the contract…
• 2:19:57
  Testecleese: You can charge them $100 million.
• 2:19:59
  Brian McFadden: to charge for extra money because they didn't get it right the first time.
• 2:20:03
  Brian McFadden: Tried extra millions of dollars extra, what Bush, or not Bush, but Trump put it in the contract, like, no, that's on you guys. You got the contract, you figure it out, you know?
• 2:20:14
  Testecleese: Exactly, you charged me $100 million.
• 2:20:17
  Brian McFadden: And the Air Force one?
• 2:20:18
  Testecleese: Then you bill me a billion, that's not okay.
• 2:20:21
  Brian McFadden: And this plane has been under design for… since Trump was last president, even before he was last president, and so everybody's freaking out now.
• 2:20:29
  Testecleese: term.
• 2:20:30
  Brian McFadden: Because the Saudis donated.
• 2:20:32
  Testecleese: I was just saying, is it…
• 2:20:33
  Brian McFadden: Another play.
• 2:20:34
  Testecleese: Was it the… it was Qatar, I thought.
• 2:20:36
  Brian McFadden: Okay, Qatar. One of the Middle East countries that is, like, an upgraded version of what they were already using for Air Force One. I agree.
• 2:20:46
  Testecleese: We can't use that.
• 2:20:47
  Brian McFadden: Trump… Trump made the Air Force retrofit that with all the secret things that Air Force One has into it, so that it could be used as a temporary Air Force One until the new version of the Boeing planes come out.
• 2:21:04
  Testecleese: No, I understand the argument, but I don't think that's acceptable, because as much as we may think we trust Qatar.
• 2:21:11
  Brian McFadden: I think that plane was gutted.
• 2:21:14
  Testecleese: I don't give a shit. Yeah, okay, it was good. They found 19 bugs. What if there were 27?
• 2:21:23
  Testecleese: You know, I'm just… You're assuming that we have better tech than everyone else.
• 2:21:30
  Testecleese: And typically we do, but we can't always find… their attack.
• 2:21:36
  Testecleese: And I… not saying we can't trust Qatar.
• 2:21:41
  Testecleese: Because, let's be real, Qatar needs us to survive where they are.
• 2:21:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:21:46
  Testecleese: But… But… We… we just cannot accept stuff like this from the foreign… from foreign nations. That…
• 2:21:56
  Testecleese: Is a place where national security things will happen.
• 2:22:02
  Testecleese: Now, if it was a… an orchard of cherry blossoms, I'd be okay with that, like Japan did, you know?
• 2:22:11
  Testecleese: But Air Force One, you're asking for a place where executive decisions are made? You're… no, you had…
• 2:22:17
  Brian McFadden: A lot of people are saying.
• 2:22:19
  Brian McFadden: You know, Air Force One never flies alone. There's always a decoy plane going with it.
• 2:22:24
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 2:22:24
  Brian McFadden: Where…
• 2:22:25
  Testecleese: And the vice president's in another one, too.
• 2:22:27
  Brian McFadden: Well, where is the decoy… what's the decoy plane gonna look like? Because there's only one of these planes that Qatar donated to us.
• 2:22:34
  Testecleese: That's actually a fair argument, but not necessarily, because the president could be on either one of them.
• 2:22:41
  Testecleese: Right?
• 2:22:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:22:43
  Testecleese: Just put the president on the other plane at that point.
• 2:22:48
  Testecleese: But, okay, so Boeing doesn't want to step up. There are other.
• 2:22:52
  Brian McFadden: They're way behind the power curve. This plane was supposed to be delivered years ago, and Boeing's screwing it all up.
• 2:22:59
  Testecleese: Ain't.
• 2:23:00
  Testecleese: And that's wonderful.
• 2:23:01
  Brian McFadden: reason why Trump put the thing in the contract, like, you can work on it for the next 20 years, but you're not paying us for these 20 years that you're working on it.
• 2:23:10
  Testecleese: Correct. Yeah, yeah. You could figure it out, but I'm not gonna pay you to figure it out, because someone else already has, right? Right. But for real, why not contact Elon Musk?
• 2:23:21
  Testecleese: Oh, I hate Elon Musk. But he seems to get shit done.
• 2:23:26
  Brian McFadden: It does.
• 2:23:29
  Testecleese: call up Elon Musk, say, hey, SpaceX,
• 2:23:34
  Testecleese: Make me a mobile command center that's airborne.
• 2:23:38
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:23:40
  Testecleese: And let's see what's… let's see what, spaceX can do.
• 2:23:44
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:23:48
  Testecleese: I don't know, man.
• 2:23:50
  Testecleese: Talk all this shit you want about this guy.
• 2:23:52
  Testecleese: He's a fucking moron, he's an idiot, but he keeps failing out.
• 2:23:55
  Brian McFadden: He's the world, he's the U.S. first trillionaire.
• 2:23:58
  Testecleese: Yeah, he's failing upwards to be the fucking richest man in the world, the first trillionaire on the planet.
• 2:24:06
  Testecleese: But he's a fucking moron, right?
• 2:24:09
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:24:10
  Brian McFadden: That's all they said.
• 2:24:11
  Testecleese: If his shit's this predictable, why didn't you do it first?
• 2:24:17
  Testecleese: And I love these arguments they come up with, like, oh, I didn't have $4 million to start with. No, did you have $400?
• 2:24:26
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:24:26
  Testecleese: Maybe you… maybe you would have fewer commas, but you would still be a fucking millionaire if this man's a trillionaire, right?
• 2:24:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they were saying that some of the people that worked in the cafeteria
• 2:24:39
  Brian McFadden: For SpaceX, you know, they got, you know, automatic stocks. They're millionaires now.
• 2:24:44
  Testecleese: Yeah, I heard stories about, welders, and maybe it's because that's what I read.
• 2:24:50
  Brian McFadden: Right, yeah.
• 2:24:51
  Testecleese: Whatever. But guys who welded for the company, who got
• 2:24:56
  Testecleese: stock shares before it became a public company, and they're like, what the fuck am I gonna do with stock share, right?
• 2:25:03
  Brian McFadden: Now you're gonna do something with it.
• 2:25:05
  Testecleese: Now, no, these dudes went from make… they were doing,
• 2:25:10
  Testecleese: 80 grand a year, which is not terrible in the area, right?
• 2:25:14
  Brian McFadden: duh.
• 2:25:15
  Testecleese: Not awesome, but not terrible.
• 2:25:17
  Testecleese: To be all of a sudden being worth, like, $5 million.
• 2:25:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, they're not in California anymore, they're in Texas, so…
• 2:25:25
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 2:25:27
  Brian McFadden: $80,000 in Texas, pros.
• 2:25:29
  Testecleese: Yeah, and how much money did California just lose out on?
• 2:25:34
  Brian McFadden: They don't care?
• 2:25:35
  Testecleese: I chasing them out of California.
• 2:25:38
  Brian McFadden: Mental care.
• 2:25:39
  Testecleese: No, but let's be real. All of a sudden, all these guys became millionaires, right?
• 2:25:45
  Testecleese: And let's be real, a whole bunch of them are probably fucking morons, right?
• 2:25:48
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:25:50
  Testecleese: They're gonna go blow their money.
• 2:25:52
  Brian McFadden: Dope.
• 2:25:53
  Testecleese: Which means it turns into taxes.
• 2:25:55
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:25:57
  Testecleese: California could have… California could have scooped it up.
• 2:26:00
  Brian McFadden: Yep, but they didn't.
• 2:26:02
  Testecleese: Instead, they chased him out, and chased out the money.
• 2:26:05
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:26:07
  Testecleese: Excellent.
• 2:26:07
  Brian McFadden: Liberals do.
• 2:26:09
  Testecleese: I just… Again, Brian, are these people…
• 2:26:17
  Brian McFadden: I don't understand where their bread's buttered.
• 2:26:22
  Testecleese: That one again?
• 2:26:23
  Brian McFadden: Where the bread's buttered.
• 2:26:26
  Testecleese: Cold Yeah, they don't know where their border comes from.
• 2:26:33
  Testecleese: Well, the same idea.
• 2:26:37
  Testecleese: No one wants to know how the sausage is made, right?
• 2:26:41
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:26:42
  Testecleese: They're all eating the sausage.
• 2:26:45
  Testecleese: But there's…
• 2:26:46
  Brian McFadden: No one that goes into it.
• 2:26:48
  Testecleese: But yeah, they have no idea the work that's going in, and…
• 2:26:52
  Testecleese: do what I'm telling you, this AI movement?
• 2:26:57
  Testecleese: I'm telling you, it's already advanced beyond what you and I see.
• 2:27:02
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 2:27:03
  Testecleese: I know it's way beyond. I've seen it with music already.
• 2:27:08
  Testecleese: And apparently it's having issues with doing taxes.
• 2:27:12
  Testecleese: And I'm like, no, no, bullshit. If this thing figured out music?
• 2:27:17
  Testecleese: It's not having an issue, fucking, no, carrying the one. You know what I mean?
• 2:27:22
  Brian McFadden: out hands, because if you ask for an…
• 2:27:24
  Testecleese: They've already figured that out, they've already figured it out.
• 2:27:27
  Testecleese: It's, it's been a while.
• 2:27:30
  Testecleese: I'm telling you, white-collar jobs are gonna disappear in the next 5 years.
• 2:27:35
  Testecleese: Maybe up to 10 years.
• 2:27:38
  Testecleese: There's gonna be no need for managers.
• 2:27:41
  Brian McFadden: 10 years from now, I'll be on Social Security.
• 2:27:45
  Testecleese: No, well, I'm not.
• 2:27:47
  Brian McFadden: You're not working now!
• 2:27:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, technically the wife is, but… and she… the thing is, she's doing a white-collar job, and this is actually right on the top of the list.
• 2:27:58
  Testecleese: She's a data analyst, right?
• 2:28:02
  Testecleese: She's gonna get replaced by an AI.
• 2:28:07
  Brian McFadden: Those of you have a clearance, still?
• 2:28:10
  Testecleese: A what?
• 2:28:11
  Brian McFadden: Top secret clearance?
• 2:28:12
  Testecleese: Oh, God, dude. Dude, you… You keep forgetting how old we are, dude.
• 2:28:19
  Testecleese: our clearances have, expired years ago.
• 2:28:24
  Brian McFadden: Not hers.
• 2:28:26
  Brian McFadden: She could have kept it active, she was in a job that required it.
• 2:28:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, but she didn't.
• 2:28:32
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 2:28:36
  Testecleese: By the way, you do know I had top-secret clearance, right?
• 2:28:41
  Brian McFadden: I… I went to Catton's mask for my top secret clearance, so…
• 2:28:46
  Testecleese: Well, I went to Katmass for a different reason.
• 2:28:54
  Testecleese: But I had top-secret clearance in the Navy and all right.
• 2:28:59
  Testecleese: And he… no, no, what's funny, dude, is people have no idea what that means.
• 2:29:03
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 2:29:05
  Testecleese: Do you think it means I can just, like, go in and look at what you're doing?
• 2:29:11
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 2:29:12
  Testecleese: Even though they've heard need to know.
• 2:29:15
  Brian McFadden: Right, I don't understand that.
• 2:29:18
  Testecleese: Well, here's the funny thing is, the reason why me as a hull technician, a repairman in the Navy.
• 2:29:24
  Brian McFadden: Did you have to go to nuclear spaces?
• 2:29:26
  Testecleese: It was because I had to go into top-secret spaces to do repairs.
• 2:29:29
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:29:31
  Testecleese: Yeah. I didn't need to see what they were doing, and you know what was cool? I would… I would walk in, announce myself, you know?
• 2:29:39
  Testecleese: Yeah. Hey, you know, HD2, Yaton… oh, shit. I… I don't think I've ever said my last name here before. That sucks.
• 2:29:48
  Brian McFadden: Soca…
• 2:29:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, Asia.
• 2:29:50
  Brian McFadden: Sounds like we have a million listeners, so…
• 2:29:52
  Testecleese: I know, right? HD2 here to, you know, do the repair job.
• 2:29:57
  Testecleese: Make the space ready.
• 2:30:00
  Testecleese: Thing is, these nukes are dicks. It… realistically, it would take them, like, 5 seconds to do what they gotta do.
• 2:30:07
  Testecleese: Which is basically, cover what you're doing so I don't see it, right?
• 2:30:11
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:30:12
  Testecleese: But they would make a shit fit.
• 2:30:14
  Testecleese: Like, it was such a fucking issue.
• 2:30:21
  Testecleese: I remember once in particular, they were doing this to me, and I was like, well…
• 2:30:25
  Testecleese: Chief, I know your boys are being dickheads trying to, be intensively slow to be assholes, but you do realize that, like, the reason why I'm here is because you're,
• 2:30:37
  Testecleese: Your… your toilets are overflowing.
• 2:30:41
  Testecleese: Like, there's just gonna be more shit floating around the floor the longer they make it take.
• 2:30:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:30:48
  Testecleese: R.
• 2:30:50
  Testecleese: Fair.
• 2:30:52
  Testecleese: I don't know, it's just… They… that was just plumbing.
• 2:30:56
  Testecleese: And Jesus Christ.
• 2:30:58
  Testecleese: I had a wild time in the Navy, dude.
• 2:31:04
  Testecleese: I blew shit up, I welded, I plumbed.
• 2:31:10
  Testecleese: Blowing shit up was fun.
• 2:31:14
  Testecleese: Oh!
• 2:31:17
  Testecleese: We bought pumpkins, apparently, and the girls didn't eat them fast enough, and we think one's rotten, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to shoot it with my 12-gauge shotgun and record it with my high-speed camera.
• 2:31:30
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:31:33
  Testecleese: It will be fun to see, huh?
• 2:31:35
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:31:37
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:31:39
  Testecleese: Where are we… oh, okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry, back on track.
• 2:31:47
  Testecleese: What… what's going… we went back to Venezuela for Trende Aragua, I guess?
• 2:31:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I killed the…
• 2:31:55
  Testecleese: Yeah, go ahead.
• 2:31:57
  Brian McFadden: We killed the leader of Trendwig Wagga.
• 2:32:02
  Testecleese: This is interesting to me.
• 2:32:05
  Testecleese: Very… As I've said, Brian, I think that…
• 2:32:13
  Testecleese: what's going on in Iran is the culmination of an entire thing that I think might have started under Trump in his first term, but…
• 2:32:23
  Testecleese: Was drawn up before that.
• 2:32:25
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 2:32:27
  Testecleese: Well, let's look at it.
• 2:32:29
  Testecleese: Trump took over Venezuelan oil, right?
• 2:32:32
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:32:33
  Testecleese: What, the largest oil…
• 2:32:38
  Testecleese: Contributor on the planet.
• 2:32:41
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:32:42
  Testecleese: And then he cleaned up the,
• 2:32:46
  Testecleese: tradeways in the Caribbean with the pirates by using the Coast Guard mostly, and sometimes the Navy.
• 2:32:54
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:32:55
  Testecleese: and blew all that shit up. Renamed it to the Gulf of America.
• 2:33:00
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:33:02
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 2:33:03
  Testecleese: then, blows up Iran enough and shots off the Strait of Hormuz to cut off oil to the planet, except through the Gulf of America.
• 2:33:15
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:33:17
  Testecleese: The United States becomes the number one oil supplier on the planet.
• 2:33:22
  Testecleese: Russia is trying to keep up, but they can't, because they're too busy fighting a fucking war with the Ukraine that they can't seem to win, which, let's be real, Russia.
• 2:33:32
  Brian McFadden: They should have won a long time ago.
• 2:33:34
  Testecleese: You should've… you should be embarrassed by now, right?
• 2:33:36
  Brian McFadden: You should be.
• 2:33:37
  Testecleese: You are no… you are no superpower, you are a bitch.
• 2:33:42
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:33:42
  Testecleese: Let's be real.
• 2:33:43
  Brian McFadden: We all predicted early on that there was no way Ukraine could win this war, with or without U.S. support, so…
• 2:33:52
  Testecleese: They did get a lot of U.S. They still are, but still, Russia still should have been able to literally just drive tanks in.
• 2:33:58
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:33:58
  Testecleese: Right?
• 2:34:01
  Testecleese: And why didn't they? I don't know.
• 2:34:06
  Brian McFadden: I don't either.
• 2:34:08
  Testecleese: It's just… Like I said, anyway, Russia's not putting out oil because of the war.
• 2:34:18
  Testecleese: Apply.
• 2:34:19
  Testecleese: United States is the biggest oil outputter on the planet, as… Saudi Arabia leaves OPEC.
• 2:34:30
  Testecleese: United States comes out a global leader in energy. We supply energy to the world.
• 2:34:38
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:34:40
  Testecleese: But Trump failed. Okay, so he failed upward so much.
• 2:34:47
  Testecleese: That he took over the world's energy supply?
• 2:34:51
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:34:51
  Testecleese: This is my argument that I'm trying to bring up, because no, just like this fucking peace deal, right?
• 2:34:58
  Testecleese: I don't know if you noticed, but I made sure not to share shit about a peace deal, because I went nuts about it last couple times.
• 2:35:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:35:08
  Brian McFadden: It's a memorandum of understanding that has not been signed by anybody besides Trump yet.
• 2:35:15
  Testecleese: No, every time he does this.
• 2:35:18
  Brian McFadden: And Israel keeps bombing Lebanon, and that's screwing up the peace deal.
• 2:35:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, okay, why the fuck does that have anything to do with what's going on in Iran, and I get it, but… no, all of these fucking… oh, the war's almost over.
• 2:35:32
  Testecleese: All it's done is fluctuate the price of oil, and it's moving.
• 2:35:36
  Brian McFadden: We've done.
• 2:35:39
  Testecleese: Yep. Just moving money around.
• 2:35:40
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:35:43
  Testecleese: You know what? The fact that it fell through again this time…
• 2:35:48
  Testecleese: I'm actually gonna invest this time.
• 2:35:50
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 2:35:56
  Testecleese: Well, it's already too late, I gotta do it when they're on high again, don't I?
• 2:36:01
  Testecleese: Not a high, but…
• 2:36:02
  Brian McFadden: Low.
• 2:36:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, people are excited about it.
• 2:36:11
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 2:36:12
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 2:36:16
  Testecleese: These arguments are fucking stupid.
• 2:36:19
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:36:23
  Testecleese: Ukraine's stupid. What are they doing trying to fucking fight Russia? Why didn't they come to an agreement before it came to conflict? Let's be… real.
• 2:36:33
  Testecleese: Right? Well, because you…
• 2:36:34
  Brian McFadden: Ukraine was promised by the Obama administration that if they got rid of their nukes, we would protect them forever.
• 2:36:41
  Testecleese: That made him NATO.
• 2:36:43
  Brian McFadden: No! Without NATO!
• 2:36:46
  Testecleese: No, that made them NATO, because the United States would be… would be there protecting them, which means NATO would have to, right?
• 2:36:51
  Brian McFadden: they're not officially NATO, yeah, but, yeah, okay. But, you know…
• 2:36:56
  Testecleese: Oh, okay, so that's the issue.
• 2:36:57
  Brian McFadden: We failed our promises to Ukraine.
• 2:37:02
  Brian McFadden: If they still had nukes, Russia wouldn't be attacking them right now.
• 2:37:07
  Brian McFadden: It wouldn't even dare.
• 2:37:09
  Testecleese: So is that what it was? I re- I remember we talking… us talking about this.
• 2:37:14
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 2:37:15
  Testecleese: It had something to do with news.
• 2:37:16
  Brian McFadden: When the Soviet Union broke up, they had…
• 2:37:19
  Brian McFadden: Several different nuclear bases in there.
• 2:37:23
  Testecleese: Before, though?
• 2:37:24
  Brian McFadden: I know, I know, but they… but Obama talked them into getting rid of their nukes.
• 2:37:29
  Brian McFadden: with the promise that U.S. would always be there for them, and… Typical U.S.
• 2:37:35
  Brian McFadden: Situations, we've failed!
• 2:37:38
  Brian McFadden: And we're quasi-there, and the American people don't give two shits about this war.
• 2:37:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, we didn't put soldiers on the ground, because we didn't want to get into war with Russia.
• 2:37:50
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:37:51
  Testecleese: Here's the problem, is we're worried about their nuclear capacity, right?
• 2:37:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:37:57
  Testecleese: That's the big issue.
• 2:37:58
  Testecleese: Russia's nuclear weapons. Apparently, Their… their fucking weapons suck.
• 2:38:05
  Brian McFadden: I wouldn't doubt it.
• 2:38:06
  Testecleese: No… Does that just mean they're gonna irradiate everything, or…
• 2:38:11
  Testecleese: I don't know, but apparently their weapons don't work right.
• 2:38:17
  Testecleese: Like, this… My god. This would be like the United States invading Mexico.
• 2:38:23
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:38:24
  Brian McFadden: You'd think.
• 2:38:26
  Testecleese: It would be over an hour's.
• 2:38:29
  Testecleese: Like, for real, why didn't Russia just drive 100,000 tanks across the border?
• 2:38:34
  Testecleese: Right up to the Capitol.
• 2:38:36
  Brian McFadden: Maybe they don't have 100,000 tanks anymore.
• 2:38:38
  Brian McFadden: Millasola facade.
• 2:38:41
  Testecleese: You think that's what it was? You know what? That's a good argument, dude, because if they could have done it, they probably would have.
• 2:38:52
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:38:54
  Testecleese: Well, I mean, imagine if the United States decided that it was time to take Mexico, for whatever reason.
• 2:38:59
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:39:00
  Testecleese: And we just rolled up with 100,000 tanks on the capital of Mexico, you know?
• 2:39:05
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:39:07
  Testecleese: What are they gonna do?
• 2:39:09
  Brian McFadden: Nothing.
• 2:39:10
  Testecleese: Yeah. Oh, oh, fuck.
• 2:39:14
  Testecleese: That… that's a lot of tanks.
• 2:39:17
  Brian McFadden: I gotta go get more beer, I'm out.
• 2:39:21
  Testecleese: I was about to say the same thing, but I'll see what we're doing next.
• 2:39:27
  Testecleese: Oh, shit!
• 2:39:29
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 2:39:30
  Testecleese: Speaking of this, what's going on with the wars and such,
• 2:39:37
  Testecleese: Russia apparently fired a warning shot across the bow of, I believe it was an English?
• 2:39:44
  Testecleese: UK-registered yacht.
• 2:39:56
  Testecleese: I'm not sure what to think of this.
• 2:39:58
  Testecleese: And I'm gonna hope I remember to bring it when Brian comes back.
• 2:40:04
  Testecleese: a warning shot.
• 2:40:06
  Testecleese: means continue what you're doing, and I will destroy you.
• 2:40:14
  Testecleese: Believe it or not, the only people in the United States allowed to fire a water shot in the United States Navy.
• 2:40:21
  Testecleese: Which is why I'm gonna cut a little bit of slack to the Russians here. However, they were in the English Channel.
• 2:40:27
  Testecleese: firing a warning shot up across the bow of an English yacht.
• 2:40:35
  Testecleese: I think this is a real issue. The Russians are becoming way too aggressive.
• 2:40:41
  Testecleese: And I think NATO's letting this shit slide too much. They're expecting the United States to pick up the slack.
• 2:40:49
  Testecleese: But the United States has been busy, and look at what Russia's been doing while the United States has been busy. Well, where the fuck were all these other countries that refused to be involved in what was going on in Iran then?
• 2:41:01
  Testecleese: Why weren't they involved in Ukraine?
• 2:41:03
  Testecleese: No, they got their thumbs up their asses, pretending they're better than you, It's a bunch of garbage.
• 2:41:16
  Testecleese: Yeah, I mean, at the same time, the Ukraine apparently launched, I guess, anyway, launched a series of, drone attacks into Moscow.
• 2:41:29
  Testecleese: Which…
• 2:41:31
  Testecleese: I thought one of the big agreements in this war was there was gonna be a front line and that's it.
• 2:41:37
  Testecleese: We don't hit inland.
• 2:41:41
  Testecleese: Ukraine has not given a shit about that. They keep hitting civilian infrastructure in Moscow.
• 2:41:49
  Testecleese: Which is, very frustrating.
• 2:41:52
  Testecleese: It's tough to support either side, you know?
• 2:41:57
  Brian McFadden: Yep, it sure is.
• 2:42:02
  Testecleese: I'm sorry, I got to watch him sit down, put the headphones on me, on, hear me say those words, and then respond like he knew what I said.
• 2:42:11
  Brian McFadden: Exactly! I gotta play along!
• 2:42:14
  Testecleese: No, but it was… it was fucking excellently done, dude.
• 2:42:17
  Brian McFadden: Thank you, thank you!
• 2:42:21
  Testecleese: I was going up, what are you drinking anyway, dude? That looks like a fucking giant, weird, mug root beer.
• 2:42:27
  Brian McFadden: No, it's not root beer.
• 2:42:29
  Brian McFadden: Captain Coke?
• 2:42:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, you drink bitch drinks.
• 2:42:33
  Brian McFadden: Whatever. I got more Miller Lite in my cooler here, so… I brought a couple more cans up, so…
• 2:42:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was going off about what's going on in Ukraine and Russia.
• 2:42:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:42:43
  Testecleese: And how I think they're fucking both corrupt fucking…
• 2:42:47
  Testecleese: evil societies that, for all I give a shit, they can kill each other.
• 2:42:53
  Brian McFadden: Right, I understand. Yeah, I mean, Russian warships have fired warning shots at UK-registered vessels and yachts in the channel, and…
• 2:43:02
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 2:43:03
  Brian McFadden: You know, and then we got drone strikes. Apparently, Ukraine knows how to build drones, you know?
• 2:43:10
  Testecleese: Oh, that's what they've been doing, is they've been… they're hitting Moscow.
• 2:43:13
  Brian McFadden: It's a drone war, yeah, yeah.
• 2:43:15
  Testecleese: That's the issue, is these guys are supposed to have an agreement to fight a frontline war, and…
• 2:43:20
  Brian McFadden: I'm doing it.
• 2:43:20
  Testecleese: and keeps hitting Moscow.
• 2:43:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:43:24
  Testecleese: And, Belarus? Is it Belarus or Belarus?
• 2:43:29
  Brian McFadden: Boiler roofs.
• 2:43:31
  Testecleese: Okay. A soccer team, I'm gonna assume… I'm sorry, it said football team. I'm gonna assume that means soccer.
• 2:43:38
  Brian McFadden: Hucker. Yeah.
• 2:43:40
  Testecleese: bus…
• 2:43:42
  Testecleese: Taking high school students to the fucking front line of the war to play fucking high school soccer. Good fucking idea, right? Yeah. But anyway, one of them got hit by a rocket or something.
• 2:43:57
  Testecleese: Only one person died who happened to be an adult, and a whole bunch of children died. It was the wife of the coach.
• 2:44:05
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 2:44:07
  Brian McFadden: Why was she on the bus?
• 2:44:10
  Testecleese: Why not?
• 2:44:12
  Brian McFadden: I've never been on a…
• 2:44:13
  Testecleese: Cheerleader, cheerleader kind of thing.
• 2:44:14
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay, alright.
• 2:44:17
  Testecleese: And Belarus, I'm sorry, Belarus…
• 2:44:23
  Brian McFadden: Belarus.
• 2:44:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, see, again, I don't know which one it is.
• 2:44:27
  Brian McFadden: Belarus.
• 2:44:28
  Testecleese: Belarus.
• 2:44:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:44:30
  Testecleese: It's demanding you to know who fired the rocket, because it matters, and whoever fired that rocket's gonna lose the war.
• 2:44:39
  Testecleese: Because I don't know if you're aware of where this nation is located, but it's actually between Ukraine and Russia.
• 2:44:47
  Testecleese: It borders both, you know what I mean?
• 2:44:51
  Testecleese: And I was like, what are you guys gonna do? For real, what are you gonna do?
• 2:44:56
  Brian McFadden: It's a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the east and northeast, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latavia to the northwest.
• 2:45:08
  Testecleese: Ryan's getting really good at looking shit up, really.
• 2:45:10
  Brian McFadden: There's, not… I'm not doing it.
• 2:45:13
  Brian McFadden: 9 million people, they speak Russian and Belarusian, and they use the Belarusian ruble. It used to be part of Soviet Union, big surprise.
• 2:45:25
  Testecleese: Yes, obviously.
• 2:45:26
  Brian McFadden: The country is known for its forests, lakes, and relatively terrain.
• 2:45:32
  Brian McFadden: And… but they closely are… they have close political and economic ties to Russia.
• 2:45:41
  Testecleese: Yes, and that's the issue, is that they're concerned now if Russia took out this Soccer team of…
• 2:45:47
  Brian McFadden: They didn't do it on purpose.
• 2:45:49
  Testecleese: Well, they don't care if it was on purpose or not, honestly.
• 2:45:53
  Brian McFadden: And the, the country has been led by the same person since 1994.
• 2:46:00
  Brian McFadden: So, they don't have actual elections in Belarus, obviously.
• 2:46:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, no, even if the Belarusians… Is that the right word?
• 2:46:15
  Brian McFadden: Those are not good enough to me.
• 2:46:21
  Testecleese: Even the Belarusians are finally offended by Russia.
• 2:46:25
  Testecleese: Who cares?
• 2:46:27
  Brian McFadden: What are they gonna do?
• 2:46:29
  Testecleese: Oh, it's a couple hundred thousand people?
• 2:46:31
  Brian McFadden: Million.
• 2:46:33
  Testecleese: Millions, okay.
• 2:46:36
  Brian McFadden: They have 9 million people living in the country.
• 2:46:38
  Testecleese: 9 million. So, what is that,
• 2:46:41
  Testecleese: The East Borough of New York City?
• 2:46:44
  Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
• 2:46:48
  Testecleese: And that's something I think people don't realize.
• 2:46:51
  Testecleese: Just like these people that came to see the World Cup of soccer.
• 2:46:55
  Testecleese: And they thought they were gonna, like, fly to Boston, and drive to go see all the games.
• 2:47:00
  Brian McFadden: No, somewhere on the West Coast, somewhere on the East Coast.
• 2:47:05
  Brian McFadden: Russia had… how many… how many people do you think the population of Russia is?
• 2:47:11
  Brian McFadden: 9 million for Belarus.
• 2:47:15
  Brian McFadden: I've looked it up.
• 2:47:17
  Testecleese: Oh, let me grab… let me think for a moment.
• 2:47:19
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 2:47:20
  Testecleese: Keep busy talking, I'm gonna grab a beer, I'm gonna think from Russia.
• 2:47:25
  Brian McFadden: How many people in Russia?
• 2:47:27
  Testecleese: I didn't…
• 2:47:28
  Brian McFadden: The capital of Moscow has over 13 million residents just in the city.
• 2:47:33
  Testecleese: In Moscow. Yup. Moscow is a big city, though, it's not like, it's not like Boston.
• 2:47:38
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 2:47:40
  Testecleese: Alright, I'm gonna think of this for a couple seconds.
• 2:47:43
  Testecleese: You continue to speak while I grab a beer.
• 2:47:46
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 2:47:49
  Brian McFadden: So, yeah, Russia, and then,
• 2:47:53
  Brian McFadden: The second largest city in Russia is St. Petersburg.
• 2:47:57
  Brian McFadden: The United States has about 340 million people.
• 2:48:01
  Testecleese: How many Belarusians are there?
• 2:48:03
  Brian McFadden: 9 million.
• 2:48:05
  Brian McFadden: Canada has 42 million people.
• 2:48:09
  Testecleese: I'm gonna guess 97 million.
• 2:48:11
  Brian McFadden: Close. 146 million.
• 2:48:14
  Testecleese: Oh, that wasn't terrible!
• 2:48:16
  Brian McFadden: No, it wasn't terrible, you were in the ballpark, I'll give you that, yeah.
• 2:48:21
  Testecleese: I was just thinking how much of Russia is inhabitable, you know what I mean?
• 2:48:26
  Brian McFadden: Not a lot.
• 2:48:27
  Testecleese: A lot of it's Arctic. Yeah. You know?
• 2:48:30
  Brian McFadden: Siberia.
• 2:48:34
  Testecleese: Here's the problem is, man, like, for…
• 2:48:37
  Testecleese: Okay, let me John Lennon first.
• 2:48:39
  Brian McFadden: So, despite its normal size, Russia has less than half the population of the United States.
• 2:48:47
  Brian McFadden: Because I got a lot of frozen tundra.
• 2:48:49
  Testecleese: That's why Russia's not nearly as powerful as they think they are.
• 2:48:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:48:54
  Testecleese: The problem is, they're powerful enough.
• 2:48:57
  Brian McFadden: You gotta pay attention to them.
• 2:48:59
  Testecleese: Though you have to pay attention, but, like.
• 2:49:02
  Testecleese: You guys aren't moving the needle on the world.
• 2:49:05
  Testecleese: Especially with the communism, you know?
• 2:49:10
  Testecleese: It's like you're stifling innovation, because, like, why would I put in effort
• 2:49:14
  Testecleese: And spend my money to try to do something new and different.
• 2:49:18
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 2:49:19
  Testecleese: If you're just gonna take it from me anyway.
• 2:49:23
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:49:25
  Brian McFadden: Anything leftovers you want to cover?
• 2:49:28
  Testecleese: That was everything we had in foreign and…
• 2:49:30
  Brian McFadden: I got more… all that's left is Iran. You want to talk anything about Iran?
• 2:49:36
  Testecleese: no, you're right.
• 2:49:41
  Brian McFadden: We can cover that next week, because I'm sure.
• 2:49:43
  Testecleese: I don't care.
• 2:49:44
  Brian McFadden: More on Rand News next week!
• 2:49:48
  Testecleese: Oh, the war's.
• 2:49:49
  Brian McFadden: We're going on 3 hours here, so…
• 2:49:52
  Testecleese: Oh, the war's ending. No, it's not. Okay, okay, that's what's going on in Iran.
• 2:49:57
  Brian McFadden: All Americans care about is gas prices.
• 2:50:01
  Testecleese: It was just stupid, honestly, but…
• 2:50:04
  Brian McFadden: That's the.
• 2:50:05
  Testecleese: Bro, man.
• 2:50:05
  Brian McFadden: Average American is stupid.
• 2:50:08
  Testecleese: Well… What's even worse… was, inflation was what?
• 2:50:15
  Testecleese: 9% when Trump took office under Biden.
• 2:50:21
  Testecleese: And it's up to 3%, or 3.2% now, and people are.
• 2:50:25
  Brian McFadden: People are still freaking out, yeah.
• 2:50:29
  Testecleese: No, not even still.
• 2:50:31
  Testecleese: They didn't honor Biden.
• 2:50:35
  Testecleese: Fuckin' Stephen Colbert did a whole sketch.
• 2:50:38
  Brian McFadden: Of course he did.
• 2:50:39
  Testecleese: About how he was willing to pay more for gas.
• 2:50:42
  Brian McFadden: But he wasn't willing to pay his employees.
• 2:50:44
  Testecleese: If it was gonna save the world, because he drives a Tesla.
• 2:50:48
  Testecleese: You know?
• 2:50:51
  Brian McFadden: But he wouldn't pay to keep his employees employed.
• 2:50:54
  Brian McFadden: When everybody got laid off, and his show got canceled.
• 2:50:59
  Testecleese: Maybe there is some stuff I want to talk about in Leftovers, the… okay.
• 2:51:06
  Testecleese: Taco Bell KFC Pizza Hut, on base.
• 2:51:10
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:51:11
  Testecleese: It's gone.
• 2:51:11
  Brian McFadden: But it ain't there anymore, no more. Pizza's been sold!
• 2:51:15
  Brian McFadden: to a Chinese company, No.
• 2:51:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was a little surprised, because.
• 2:51:23
  Brian McFadden: Well, Pizza Hut… Taco Bell's going through the roof. KFC has seen a resurgence, too, because they're doing all these weird deals where you can pretty much get a whole bunch of shit for really cheap.
• 2:51:36
  Brian McFadden: But Pizza Hut has been struggling, and so.
• 2:51:40
  Testecleese: Well, no, the problem with the, oh, you get a whole bunch of stuff really cheap, that bothers me, means that these guys could actually afford to charge you less.
• 2:51:49
  Brian McFadden: They're not gonna.
• 2:51:50
  Testecleese: But don't.
• 2:51:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:51:52
  Testecleese: Because they know you're gonna pay it.
• 2:51:56
  Brian McFadden: But the Yum! brand has always been more focused on KFC and Taco Bell.
• 2:52:04
  Brian McFadden: Pizza Hut was always, like, an afterthought.
• 2:52:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, but Pizza, pizza's pretty good.
• 2:52:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they're closing locations everywhere. I mean, their latest thing is, hey, people like to eat in the restaurants. Maybe we can open up some… they're actually bringing back the lunch buffet in certain locations.
• 2:52:26
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's tough to find that.
• 2:52:28
  Brian McFadden: It is. I got a couple here in Michigan that I could go check out and do.
• 2:52:32
  Brian McFadden: You know?
• 2:52:33
  Brian McFadden: within driving distance, within, like, half hour, 45 minutes. And that's where I think Pizza Hut lost it, was because they tried to focus on drive-through and delivery so much that they forgot what their core people were. The people showed up for their lunch buffets.
• 2:52:52
  Brian McFadden: And they also… people want to come in and enjoy a dine-in experience in a pizza place.
• 2:52:58
  Brian McFadden: Even if they weren't there for the lunch buffet, people still showed up for dinner, ordered a couple pizzas and some sodas or beers, and just sat there and ate pizza. You can't do that in very plain places anymore, when it comes to chain restaurants.
• 2:53:15
  Testecleese: Yeah…
• 2:53:17
  Testecleese: The problem is, I think if we rough-packed Pizza Hut the way it used to be, it'd be a great thing for the United States with the, the reading program.
• 2:53:26
  Testecleese: Yeah. Free, free personal pizzas for kids who read 5 books.
• 2:53:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're not doing that anymore.
• 2:53:33
  Testecleese: Well…
• 2:53:34
  Brian McFadden: It was a good program. I agree with you.
• 2:53:38
  Testecleese: I don't remember what I was… Oh, this is about the UK kid.
• 2:53:44
  Testecleese: Check this out.
• 2:53:46
  Testecleese: United… you see the UK banned, social media for children?
• 2:53:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:53:54
  Brian McFadden: I think Australia did, too, but we don't have our August and I on to talk about it.
• 2:53:58
  Testecleese: They did it a bit ago, and we talked about when it happened.
• 2:54:04
  Testecleese: UK has done it, and here's a teenager who's asked what she's gonna do instead of, going on the internet.
• 2:54:12
  Brian McFadden: Okay, what'd she say?
• 2:54:14
  Audio shared by Testecleese: ED.
• 2:54:16
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Stare at a wall.
• 2:54:17
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Terrible, okay.
• 2:54:20
  Testecleese: Oh my god, too, it was straight to a commercial, isn't it?
• 2:54:23
  Brian McFadden: Hollywood.
• 2:54:24
  Testecleese: Oh, hold on.
• 2:54:26
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Yeah, we literally…
• 2:54:28
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Screen time. What was your screen time over the weekend? Nine hours. Nine hours. So, suddenly, you're gonna have a lot more time to fill. And what will you do?
• 2:54:37
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Stare at a wall.
• 2:54:39
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Cool.
• 2:54:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, what the fuck?
• 2:54:43
  Testecleese: That's what got me, was… Stare at a wall.
• 2:54:47
  Testecleese: Why not go do something?
• 2:54:51
  Testecleese: If I'd stare at a wall.
• 2:54:53
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:54:54
  Testecleese: This is the problem, this is a 14-year-old kid who doesn't realize the stuff to do besides the internet.
• 2:55:01
  Brian McFadden: I mean, I turned on screen time on my phone when it was offered right away, just to know how much crap I'm wasting on social media, you know? And it's 8 hours, 9 hours a day, what it averages, you know, and that's crazy… that's crazy.
• 2:55:16
  Brian McFadden: When you think about it?
• 2:55:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, when I checked my phone in the morning?
• 2:55:28
  Testecleese: A couple times during the day when I'm doing shit.
• 2:55:31
  Brian McFadden: Well, my screen times went up for Facebook and social media since I moved to Michigan, so…
• 2:55:38
  Brian McFadden: I don't have a job yet, you know, I've got nothing better to do, I'm bored, so that's what I do.
• 2:55:44
  Brian McFadden: It sucks.
• 2:55:45
  Testecleese: And you're still getting less screen time than these teenagers.
• 2:55:48
  Brian McFadden: Yes. Yes.
• 2:55:49
  Brian McFadden: And I'm not gonna stare at a wall.
• 2:55:52
  Brian McFadden: what I can't get on Facebook either, you know? I'll find some other shit to do in life, you know? Like, I took a… my wife made me go kayaking a while ago, you know, for the first time.
• 2:56:03
  Testecleese: Collin, what did you do when you were a kid, Brian?
• 2:56:06
  Brian McFadden: I didn't have internet, there was no internet, and there was no cell phone.
• 2:56:10
  Testecleese: That's what I'm saying, it's like, you didn't just stare at a wall, dude.
• 2:56:13
  Brian McFadden: No, I survived! I made it to 50s! I've made it to now, you know?
• 2:56:20
  Testecleese: Here's the thing is, I remember before the internet, I remember the internet showing up.
• 2:56:26
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:56:28
  Brian McFadden: I remember having dial-up internet.
• 2:56:35
  Brian McFadden: Camp you serve?
• 2:56:36
  Brian McFadden: You probably had AOL.
• 2:56:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, we at AOL.
• 2:56:40
  Brian McFadden: You got the disc in the mail.
• 2:56:42
  Testecleese: Yes, exactly, the CD.
• 2:56:44
  Brian McFadden: Everybody got one of those in the mail.
• 2:56:46
  Brian McFadden: Multiple times.
• 2:56:48
  Testecleese: Because they gave you the software for free.
• 2:56:51
  Brian McFadden: CompuServe was free too, you just had to, like… I don't know.
• 2:56:56
  Testecleese: Yeah, you just had to go find it. Versus these guys gave it to you. It's like…
• 2:57:00
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and we're Azale will know.
• 2:57:02
  Testecleese: Oh, I know, but that was good marketing at the time, wasn't it?
• 2:57:06
  Brian McFadden: They failed, though. They didn't move, they didn't move with the times.
• 2:57:10
  Testecleese: AOL still exists, but, recently someone just bought them, actually.
• 2:57:16
  Brian McFadden: So people still do dial-up with AOL?
• 2:57:19
  Testecleese: No, no, it's not dial-up, they've gone full digital.
• 2:57:23
  Testecleese: America Online.
• 2:57:27
  Testecleese: Jeez, what was that?
• 2:57:29
  Testecleese: Early 90s?
• 2:57:32
  Brian McFadden: Probably.
• 2:57:33
  Testecleese: Sounded like a fax machine hooking up.
• 2:57:36
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:57:40
  Testecleese: Something in here about Fauci, I'm pretty sure, no?
• 2:57:44
  Brian McFadden: I don't know.
• 2:57:46
  Testecleese: Biden… And it's fucking classified shit. I don't know if I care enough.
• 2:57:54
  Brian McFadden: What happened to… I shared a video of Biden at the Obama…
• 2:58:02
  Brian McFadden: Thing where everybody left him on stage by himself for his… At the library.
• 2:58:08
  Testecleese: I remember seeing it, but I don't know where it went.
• 2:58:13
  Brian McFadden: Oh, wow.
• 2:58:15
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:58:18
  Brian McFadden: Because nobody cares about Biden anymore, and they just left him on stage by himself.
• 2:58:23
  Testecleese: Exactly, just like his wife strung him out, right?
• 2:58:27
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:58:29
  Testecleese: She fucking completely threw him under the bus to sell her book.
• 2:58:34
  Testecleese: They need more money? Is that what it is, or does she want to be famous?
• 2:58:38
  Brian McFadden: I think she wants to be famous, they don't need any more money.
• 2:58:41
  Testecleese: For throwing her husband The president under the bus.
• 2:58:46
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:58:46
  Testecleese: Could you imagine being famous for being the first lady who said, yeah, no, my husband was a fraud?
• 2:58:52
  Testecleese: He completely ripped off the American people.
• 2:58:57
  Testecleese: Can you imagine that's why you remember it in history?
• 2:59:00
  Brian McFadden: That's crazy.
• 2:59:01
  Testecleese: And I was the woman who supported it.
• 2:59:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:59:03
  Testecleese: Nope.
• 2:59:04
  Brian McFadden: I was the one who helped cover up the fraud for the longest time.
• 2:59:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, and pretend it didn't… you did so good, Joe! You answered all the questions!
• 2:59:15
  Testecleese: Or is he 6 years old?
• 2:59:17
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Exactly.
• 2:59:19
  Brian McFadden: He's in his 80s.
• 2:59:23
  Testecleese: I think we got this one, Marian.
• 2:59:25
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:59:27
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Cutting the cord.
