Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Good afternoon, and welcome to the Black Ibis Social Club.
- 0:03SPEAKER_01: I'm your host,
- 0:04SPEAKER_01: Alexandru Adub,
- 0:05SPEAKER_01: and I've got Fisto chilling in the background somewhere,
- 0:09SPEAKER_01: creeping inside the wolf's lair.
- 0:11SPEAKER_01: Yes, hello,
- 0:13SPEAKER_00: children.
- 0:15SPEAKER_01: Uber, das Kommandant, freaking over here.
- 0:21SPEAKER_01: All right, so let me catch up.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: You know what I did today?
- 0:26SPEAKER_01: What did you do today?
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: I went to my physical therapist.
- 0:33SPEAKER_01: Nice.
- 0:34SPEAKER_01: And my physical therapist,
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: now I obviously can't dox her,
- 0:39SPEAKER_01: but she's a tiny, skinny woman with Thelma glasses and kind of a Thelma haircut.
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: But she has the best name.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to tell you her last name, but it's basically like murder.
- 0:55SPEAKER_01: Good.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: Yes, excellent.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: She's Dr.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: Murder, basically.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: And she's been torturing me for the last, you know, since my surgery.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: And for you guys listening at home and live,
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: I had a pretty extensive spinal surgery in April where I could barely lift my arm up
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: or really walk for a few weeks.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: And once I got better,
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: I started going to physical therapy every day to,
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: not every day, but once or twice a week to improve my strength and stuff.
- 1:27SPEAKER_01: But today she, and physical therapy, by the way, has been mostly torture.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: Like it's been me basically lifting weights,
- 1:36SPEAKER_01: doing like fireman carries and farmer carries and just all kinds of crazy stuff like
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: that lifts.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: It's become basically like a weightlifting session.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: Over the last few weeks,
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: every once a month,
- 1:51SPEAKER_01: she tests all the, like,
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: my mobility,
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: my range of motion in my neck, my overall, like, grip strength and stuff.
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: And I have improved, like,
- 2:00SPEAKER_01: I'm basically at 95% of what I was before the surgery,
- 2:05SPEAKER_01: or actually before my injury, to be honest.
- 2:07SPEAKER_01: But today she made me do a crap ton of push-ups, planks, squats, all this stuff.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: And I came in there.
- 2:15SPEAKER_01: I didn't expect it.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: I thought I was just going to be more stretching and stuff like that.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: She's like, no, no.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: She's like, I'm going to fuck you up.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: I'm like,
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: oh, man.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: Damn.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: I was kind of raw dogged it over there, unprepared
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: for it.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: I did really good, man.
- 2:33SPEAKER_01: I was able to do...
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: 60 perfect push-ups in one minute, which is not good.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: It's not like my greatest,
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: but this is the most I've done in like a year and a half since really like two years
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: before my surgery.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: But I used to be able to do like a hundred easily without stopping.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: Knocked out a three-minute plank, which I'm pretty happy.
- 2:53SPEAKER_01: Just a lot of squats and body weight and kettlebell stuff.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: And it basically cleared me to start lifting weights a lot more, which I'm really happy.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: Like I went from...
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: I went from barely being able to pick up a glass to back to doing barbell squats
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: and bench presses and stuff.
- 3:11SPEAKER_01: So now I'm back, bros.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: I'm back, baby.
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: I also lost losing all the post-surgery fat.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Because for a month,
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: I just sat on the couch watching anime and eating ice cream because that was
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: the only thing I could eat.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: So now I'm back to beast mode.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: Aryan super soldier motherfuckers.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: That's standard.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: That's great.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: Dude, just in time for the race war.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: I'm so proud of you.
- 3:36SPEAKER_01: Just ready for it, man.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're ready.
- 3:39SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about stuff.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: What else?
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: Also, I rewatched and I finished Cowboy Bebop.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: I was very excited to see that.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: Cowboy Bebop was one of the first animes I've ever watched.
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: I think it was one of the first animes most people have ever watched.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: I think so, too, right?
- 4:01SPEAKER_01: It's important, man.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: It's important.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: I'll say it's like one of the first animes I ever watched as an adult.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: I think I watched Sailor Moon when that came out.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: It used to be on TV.
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you remember Sailor Moon.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: I think I was in sixth grade.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: Vaguely.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: And then I watched a little bit like Pokemon when that
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: first came out
- 4:21SPEAKER_01: because I was still a little kid.
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: But I think I was a little bit too old for it.
- 4:26SPEAKER_01: And...
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: I never liked Dragon Ball Z.
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: All the people I went to school with,
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: they all loved Dragon Ball Z, but it never clicked with me for some reason.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: I just don't really like big fighting anime like that.
- 4:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's fine.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: I dated a girl for a long time, and she was a huge anime nerd before that.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: It was even cool, way back in the day.
- 4:52SPEAKER_01: She really loved Cowboy Bebop.
- 4:56SPEAKER_01: And the video game, Knights of the Old Republic.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: They're like her two things that she was really into.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Classic, classic Bioware title.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: And World of Warcraft.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: That was like the third thing of her triangle of things she liked.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: But she really liked World of Warcraft.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: I felt like I watched all of it with her.
- 5:22SPEAKER_01: But when I finished it this week, I realized that I didn't.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: I guess the ending,
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: I'm not one of those people that,
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: I rarely ever rewatch things or reread novels because I have a really good memory
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: and I remember everything.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: But I obviously did not see the entirety of Cabo Bebop because I did not remember
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: the end whatsoever.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: And I was like, oh shit, I thought I watched everything, but I did not see this coming.
- 5:46SPEAKER_01: I'm like, what a downer ending.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: A good, great, like, From like a literary perspective.
- 5:53SPEAKER_01: It's how it had to end.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: It had to end like that.
- 5:56SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 5:57SPEAKER_01: It had to
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: go badly.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: But it was, I mean, I don't know if it went badly, I guess maybe.
- 6:02SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen the movie yet.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: I need to watch the movie.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: I know there's like a movie, which movie.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 6:09SPEAKER_01: It's called knocking on heaven's door.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: It came out after the show.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 6:13SPEAKER_01: And I believe the movie,
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: because I looked it up online,
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: the movie is actually not after the ending, because obviously the ending, right?
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: It actually takes place between episode 22 and 23.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: So it takes place before
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: Ed goes away and all that stuff.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: If you guys have never seen Cowboy Bebop, It's basically the anime.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: And the history behind how it became popular in the United States is really kind of fascinating.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: I was reading up on that, but that's for another time.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: That's kind of what I've been watching.
- 6:51SPEAKER_01: I started reading this great manga called...
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: So I fell in love with the author of Pluto after watching Pluto,
- 7:00SPEAKER_01: which I said, I still think you need to watch it when you get a chance.
- 7:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 7:04SPEAKER_01: So I wanted to like...
- 7:06SPEAKER_01: Pick up some like what's considered his like masterpiece,
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: which is this manga series called 20th Century Boys.
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: And it's basically a more schizo version of Stephen King's It.
- 7:19SPEAKER_01: But instead of a clown, it's like this guy named Friend.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: Who might have been one of the friends in the friend group.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: It's just basically like,
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: imagine it, but schizo, but Japanese, but even 10 times better,
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: you know?
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sure.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: And I read the first part and it's fantastic.
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: So I ordered the next part.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: It's sitting on my desk right now.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: I need to read it.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: As soon as we finish here, I'll probably do a little bit of reading this.
- 7:43SPEAKER_01: And I also watch,
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: like I said,
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: I've been in an anime manga kind of mood because I'm kind of just burnt out
- 7:48SPEAKER_01: on American Western stuff recently.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to change my perspective before I return back to stuff.
- 7:56SPEAKER_01: I watched the 1995 Ghost in the Shell, which I've never seen.
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I've never seen Ghost in the Shell.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: What did you think of that?
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: I really liked it.
- 8:03SPEAKER_01: It's a very dark cyberpunk.
- 8:10SPEAKER_01: Artistically, it's beautiful, right?
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I revisit that.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: Probably once every few years, I'll watch at least the entire first season.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: And it is, it is one of my favorite things ever.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: It's just, it's perfect.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: I am just exceptionally excited.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: And I think we should do a specific several episodes on this for edge runners when
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: that comes out.
- 8:36SPEAKER_01: Like, I think that that's going to have to be a black ibis.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: I don't know why I really enjoyed the first one.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: I think I want to rewatch it just to.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: Oh, the first one was perfect.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: The first one was also, I mean, It's, it's cowboy bebop good.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: Like that's how good it was.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: It's just, yes, that's it right there.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: It was good.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: It transcends the form.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: It transcends the form.
- 8:56SPEAKER_01: I kind of,
- 8:56SPEAKER_01: I think they released the first episode at the like anime convention or whatever
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: and people that,
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: but it's not like,
- 9:03SPEAKER_01: but people that saw it,
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: like if you like read stuff online,
- 9:06SPEAKER_01: it's, it seems to be even darker than the first season.
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: Good.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: And like,
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: there's no love story in an area that,
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: and there's like, I guess there's a subplot with one of those like legacy from the game,
- 9:22SPEAKER_01: you know, like in the game, what was that called?
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: The whatever chip that made, what's his name?
- 9:28SPEAKER_01: What, the
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: chip that made Johnny the Relic?
- 9:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the Relic chip, right?
- 9:35SPEAKER_01: There's a plot.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: The Relic chip comes into play in this season.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: Oh, cool.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Because there were a lot of those, if I remember, right?
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: There was a whole thing about that stuff.
- 9:47SPEAKER_00: And then What's Your Butt was going to nuke them all.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: Oh, but this could still be before the events of the game.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm not sure when it takes place.
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: It has to be basically probably somewhere.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: It's after the first season.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: That one was several years before the game, though.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: There's plenty of room.
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: We'll have to see.
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty excited about that.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: That is going to be great.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: That's going to
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: be fun.
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: That's kind of what I've been doing.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: I think I'm going to watch the first episode of the brand new episode.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: Ghost in the Shell anime that came out like this week.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: I think the last episode came out this week.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: Really?
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: It's on Amazon, right?
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: And it's called Ghost in the Shell.
- 10:36SPEAKER_01: It's on Amazon Prime.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: It's made by Science Saru, who I believe made Mix Free Ren.
- 10:43SPEAKER_01: And it is a lot more like...
- 10:47SPEAKER_01: The art style is more stylized and it's like it looks more like the 80s manga.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: It has like an 80s anime look to it and it's more like rounded and like kind
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: of like It's more goofy in a way,
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: but it's still like dark and not cyborgs and stuff.
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: But I guess it's more true to like the 80s version of the manga where the 1995 movie
- 11:12SPEAKER_01: and the 2000 show kind of went away from it.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: You know, like they made it.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it has that.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: It has that mid 90s style, that mid 90s.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: Like somewhat realistic, but not really.
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: What did you think of what was your favorite character?
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: In Ghost in the Shell.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: So remember, I watched the 1995 movie.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: I have not seen the standalone complex.
- 11:37SPEAKER_01: Oh, you haven't seen
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: that yet.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
- 11:40SPEAKER_01: That's not streaming anywhere.
- 11:42SPEAKER_01: That's not streaming anywhere.
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: You can buy it on Amazon, I think.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm probably going to have to do
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: that.
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: There's two or three shows that are really hard to find.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: There's a show called Serial Experiments Lane, which everybody says, you have to watch it.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: You have to watch it.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: You have to watch it.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: You have to watch it.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: Watch it now.
- 12:01SPEAKER_01: It's not anywhere.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: And there's also a text note.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: I can't even pronounce it, but it's another show I can't find anywhere.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: Have you ever watched Samurai Champloo?
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: I've seen a little bit of that.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: That's basically like the sequel to Cowboy Bebop.
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: It's made by the same director, right?
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: So like where Cowboy Bebop, I haven't seen it yet.
- 12:23SPEAKER_01: I think I might start it tonight.
- 12:24SPEAKER_01: Where Cowboy Bebop is like jazz plus Western plus space, right?
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: It's like a space Western plus jazz.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: Samurai Champloo is like samurai movie plus hip hop.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: Nice.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: Like, it's like, you know, like lo-fi hip hop beats and stuff, right?
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: Lo-fi hip hop with samurai.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: So I kind of want to give that a try.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: Matt in the chat says standalone complex is the definitive version of the franchise.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: And that's what, that's what I've been reading.
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: Like, I actually think the Scarlett Johansson movie is, is it, is it?
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: No, that wasn't Scarlett Johansson.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: Who was that in that horrible live action movie they made of it?
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: It was Scarlett Johansson.
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: Was it Scarlett Johansson?
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: I never saw it.
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: I never saw it.
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:08SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
- 13:09SPEAKER_01: I never saw it.
- 13:09SPEAKER_01: It doesn't exist.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: I would completely do,
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: after Edgerunners,
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: I would absolutely do a standalone complex series of episodes with you.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: Because he's right.
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: It's fucking awesome.
- 13:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'll watch it.
- 13:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'll watch it.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's one of my favorite things ever, man.
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: Have you ever seen, what's it called?
- 13:32SPEAKER_01: What did I just watch?
- 13:33SPEAKER_01: I'm being like, Ergo Proxy.
- 13:38SPEAKER_01: It's another early 2000s.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: It came around the same time Stand Alone Complex came out.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: It's called Ergo Proxy.
- 13:45SPEAKER_01: I watched it last week.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: It's great.
- 13:47SPEAKER_01: I know a lot of people call it Emo Proxy because it's in the future and emo-ish and stuff.
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: That's another one that I recommend.
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: That's enough crazy anime talk.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: Let's get into our topic or else we're going to be talking about the major the whole time.
- 14:05SPEAKER_01: That's not terrible.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Here's what we're going to talk about, guys.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: And it's kind of, you know, it's tiresome.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: It's tiresome.
- 14:17SPEAKER_01: There's been a string.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: Like, this is what I've noticed on Substack, okay?
- 14:21SPEAKER_01: We've had these conversations so many times, and a lot of us have been around the block, bro.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: Like, Yeah.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: we've all been on, like,
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: half the people that I follow on Substack,
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: I've been friends with since,
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: like, Twitter days when Twitter was, like, the battlefield, you know?
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: Pre-Musk Twitter days, you know?
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: And there's this new batch of, like, I don't know where these edgelords are coming from.
- 14:47SPEAKER_01: And I mean, I'm actually pretty...
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't be shocked if some of these guys were not just like fed plants and stuff.
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: But there's always like, they had the same kind of vibe, you know, bot kind of vibe.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: It's like a completely anonymous account,
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: some kind of stupid like PFP,
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: like 90 followers,
- 15:08SPEAKER_01: and they post the most ridiculous like, you know, neo-Nazi nonsense.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they all have the same Google Doc that they print.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: It's all the same stuff.
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: And it's usually they're kind of like, there's some sort of pagans.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: And I just I've gotten to the point where I'm just really fucking tired, man.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't want to argue with these people.
- 15:30SPEAKER_01: And it's I don't want to argue with them.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: And I have come to realize that I don't owe anybody a conversation.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: And then, like, Look,
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: if you guys have been listening to this podcast for the last three years now
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: and have been following me, I am not one to back away from a fight.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: I've always taken debates.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: I've always argued with people.
- 15:52SPEAKER_01: You don't hurt my feelings.
- 15:54SPEAKER_01: Never do.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: And I can be mean.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: There are no feelings
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: to hurt.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: There are no feelings to hurt.
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: I can come mean sometimes, all right?
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: I come out mean.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: It's just that there comes to a point where it has a diminishing return,
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: where it's just like, oh, great, we're going to have this conversation again.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: Every summer,
- 16:12SPEAKER_01: a new batch of pagans comes around, and it's like, oh, you worship Jesus on a stick.
- 16:18SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile,
- 16:19SPEAKER_01: I worship Tun Tun Sahur over here,
- 16:21SPEAKER_01: the log with a smiley face on it, or whatever the fuck outside my ear.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: And...
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: You know, and it's so boring, dude.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: It's so boring.
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: All right?
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: All this stuff is boring.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: It's not interesting.
- 16:34SPEAKER_01: It's fucking boring.
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: Do you ever notice that we've been doing this pagan argument, right?
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: And it's so boring because in the last two years since we've even engaged
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: with these people,
- 16:48SPEAKER_01: You'll never see a post about like my day as a pagan or this is me
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: and my pagan bros hanging out at pagan bro land or whatever.
- 16:56SPEAKER_01: There's never anything normal.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: The entirety of the pagan like online presence is attacking Christianity.
- 17:03SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 17:04SPEAKER_01: There's never like there's like if you go like.
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: If you go to a random...
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: I'm not a Christian poster at all.
- 17:13SPEAKER_01: That's not my job.
- 17:14SPEAKER_01: I'm not a priest.
- 17:15SPEAKER_01: I'm not a monk.
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: I don't do that.
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: I'll talk about Christianity.
- 17:19SPEAKER_01: I'll talk about my own personal... Trust me, nobody wants me to be a Christian poster.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: I'm the shittiest Christian on the face of the planet.
- 17:28SPEAKER_01: If I post some type of orthodox stuff, I'm usually criticizing other people.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: Other Christians.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: I'm not like...
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: It's usually from a much more permissive liberal position than a trad guy.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: I think trad guys are ridiculous for the most part.
- 17:49SPEAKER_01: We said it last week.
- 17:51SPEAKER_01: I think a lot of people that convert
- 17:54SPEAKER_01: to Orthodox Christianity should really just go become Amish or Muslims
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: because it makes more sense.
- 18:00SPEAKER_01: Just because you converted to Eastern Orthodoxy doesn't mean you have to dress like
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: a babushka from fucking 19th century.
- 18:07SPEAKER_01: You're not sitting out there with like Fedor Dostoevsky by yourself and like
- 18:11SPEAKER_01: the Dasha and stuff, okay?
- 18:12SPEAKER_01: Like take that LARP somewhere else, okay?
- 18:15SPEAKER_01: It's 21st century, you know?
- 18:18SPEAKER_01: But besides the point,
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: the point is that like you go to any of these Christian guys that do a lot
- 18:24SPEAKER_01: of Christian posting and they're just like,
- 18:26SPEAKER_01: hey, this is how I introduce my A priest to this novel or something like that.
- 18:33SPEAKER_01: There's always a positive thing.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: The entirety of their posting existence is not about crapping on other people.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: The pagan side of the internet,
- 18:43SPEAKER_01: it's just Christianity is gay and this is why it's ruining everything.
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: We got it.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: You don't think we've heard that?
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: There's two guys that I can think of.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: There's only two guys I can think of who I know are pagans.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: And I actually would respect them and have a beer with them
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: because they are normal fucking people first.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: And they've shared like a little, you know, like one guy, he shared a little bit.
- 19:08SPEAKER_00: Remember, we had him on like a long time ago.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: He shared a little bit of his practice and what he does.
- 19:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: But like he's not out there just shitting on everything all the time.
- 19:16SPEAKER_00: Like the guy clearly has got business and he's got a life.
- 19:19SPEAKER_00: And then that other dude is that super roided out guy that you always bring up.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: And like he's he's clearly got his own thing going on.
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: But right.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: They have identities that are not shitting on Christians or shitting on what's in
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: the Google Doc about Christians.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 19:37SPEAKER_01: And it's so fucking tiresome.
- 19:39SPEAKER_01: And it's like, okay, I get it.
- 19:41SPEAKER_01: I get it.
- 19:41SPEAKER_01: You're a pagan.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: Congratulations.
- 19:44SPEAKER_00: Congratulations.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 19:46SPEAKER_01: I'm not interested in having a theological debate with you, okay?
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no.
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: In the same way,
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: I'm not interested in having a theological debate with a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu
- 19:55SPEAKER_01: or anything like
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: that.
- 19:58SPEAKER_01: American Writer and Essays, he's actually talking about Jack Donovan.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: Donovan, yeah, that's it.
- 20:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I couldn't remember the dude's name.
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: I just remember his bicep.
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: I just remember his bicep in my mind.
- 20:09SPEAKER_01: And the golden one is like the dude with the blonde hair.
- 20:12SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen him in a while.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: I like the golden one too, but Jack Donovan.
- 20:16SPEAKER_01: I'm a big fan of Jack Donovan.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: I'm like, shut up.
- 20:23SPEAKER_01: Shut up.
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: Nothing I say you're going to like anyway, so I'm just going to like what I want to like.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Fuck off.
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: But here's the thing.
- 20:31SPEAKER_01: It's like, dude, just go fuck off, dude.
- 20:33SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: I don't need to hear this.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: Oh, Christianity ruined Europe.
- 20:37SPEAKER_01: I'm like, okay, Europe was awesome when it was 100% Christian.
- 20:39SPEAKER_01: Europe became fucking stupid when it became enlightened atheism in
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: the post-World War II, you know, 20th century, okay?
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: It's just how it is, okay?
- 20:49SPEAKER_01: And I don't want to return to pagan Europe because I don't want to live in a mud
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: and straw hut, okay?
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 20:56SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 20:57SPEAKER_01: Or like some fucking longhouse or some shit like that.
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: I kind of like living.
- 21:00SPEAKER_01: So shut up.
- 21:01SPEAKER_01: Just shut up and fuck off.
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: You're stupid.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: Here's what it is.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: It's boring.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: It's boring and it has no meaning or no value to my life.
- 21:12SPEAKER_01: I'm going to roll into the whole fascism conversation.
- 21:18SPEAKER_01: Whenever you bring the stuff up, it's an instant wall because it's boring.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: It's not viable.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: It's not fucking viable.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: I don't care if you think on paper that, well,
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: the National Socialist economic system was actually quite great and blah,
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: blah, blah.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: Nobody gives a fuck.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: Shut up.
- 21:42SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: The second you use any of those terms, it's dead on arrival.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: DOA, dude.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: Like nobody takes you seriously at that point.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: That's the problem with the whole, you know, mustache man, fucking painter.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: He destroyed...
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: The viability of hard right wing stuff forever, at least a century.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: Besides killing millions of people or, you know, instigating the death of millions of people.
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: Tens of millions.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: Tens of millions.
- 22:12SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: So, so the thing is though,
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: paganism, all this stuff, it's DOA because nobody, it's just not realistic.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: And it just,
- 22:22SPEAKER_01: you don't want to have an argument with these people because it's ultimately,
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: I'm having an argument with somebody that obviously is a fucking child or lives
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: in their basement.
- 22:30SPEAKER_01: Or like, you know what I mean?
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: It's just, we're back again to the BPD art ho conversation.
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: it's obviously people that have no experience with women are arguing that,
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: you know what I mean?
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: Because if you had any experience with women, you, you, yeah.
- 22:45SPEAKER_01: Lindsay Clancy is a BPD art ho.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: And that's, that's where you end up.
- 22:49SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: You notice they've shut the fuck up about that stuff.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: Once that trial became a big deal, you know?
- 22:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:58SPEAKER_01: The reality of the situation is that,
- 23:01SPEAKER_01: and where my main critique of this conversation was,
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: is that you can't have that because it's not realistic in the way our world works.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: And talking about like mustache man and the corporal or it's just LARPing, dude.
- 23:18SPEAKER_01: It's just LARPing.
- 23:19SPEAKER_01: And it's ultimately it's ultimately a fucking LARP and it's really annoying and it's boring.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: That's what I that's what I've said.
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: It's boring.
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: And I made this point instead of like relitigating World War Two nonsense.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about some real stuff.
- 23:34SPEAKER_01: OK, I don't know if you saw my post,
- 23:36SPEAKER_01: but I said Hey, you know what's really interesting right now?
- 23:39SPEAKER_01: That there's a world superpower that did not exist as a world superpower when you
- 23:45SPEAKER_01: and I were in freaking middle school.
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: So in the 90s, the current number two world superpower was not a superpower.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: Since you and I were in early middle school,
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: elementary school,
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: that country has supposedly,
- 24:03SPEAKER_01: but stats seem to be pretty accurate,
- 24:06SPEAKER_01: lifted 800 million people out of poverty and went from being
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: a second-rate big player to a country that now has elevated trains,
- 24:17SPEAKER_01: skyscrapers,
- 24:19SPEAKER_01: and has more trading power with the rest of the world than the United States does.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about China, right?
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: That's interesting.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm talking about China.
- 24:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's interesting.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: But none of us are having this conversation, right?
- 24:35SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: we're worrying about like,
- 24:37SPEAKER_01: Jew this from 1942 or whatever,
- 24:40SPEAKER_01: when we're literally across the ocean,
- 24:42SPEAKER_01: there's a superpower that has basically,
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: like I said, raised 800 million of its citizens now.
- 24:48SPEAKER_01: From living from under $1 a day to above poverty levels.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: Here's actually a really shocking thing because I want to make the point.
- 24:58SPEAKER_01: According to World Bank stats,
- 25:01SPEAKER_01: there's less people living below the poverty line in China than they are in
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: the United States.
- 25:06SPEAKER_01: So that's a conversation I want to have.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: I don't want to have this LARP conversation.
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: The problem is,
- 25:15SPEAKER_00: the problem is, man,
- 25:15SPEAKER_00: is you don't understand that when white people can communicate telepathically about
- 25:20SPEAKER_00: the truth of Hitler,
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: he will resurrect and then laser eye all the Chinese with Thor's hammer.
- 25:26SPEAKER_00: That's what you don't understand.
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: So.
- 25:28SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 25:31SPEAKER_01: And, and yeah, I am.
- 25:32SPEAKER_00: It's interesting about China, though.
- 25:33SPEAKER_00: You're right.
- 25:34SPEAKER_00: I mean.
- 25:35SPEAKER_00: Why are we talking about that?
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't know.
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: Why are we talking about that?
- 25:41SPEAKER_00: Math or something.
- 25:42SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: it's like, I mean,
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: to be honest,
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: like even looking at,
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: you know, even looking at like Russia post Soviet Union, right?
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: It's a different country completely.
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: And so many in America are pretending that Russia is like,
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: you know, it's still living in the breadline era and stuff.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: And then you pop up,
- 26:04SPEAKER_01: pop an open Instagram and you look at tourist videos and stuff and you're like, oh,
- 26:09SPEAKER_01: Or like,
- 26:09SPEAKER_01: even like, I like,
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: you know, I get a lot of international stuff on Instagram and Twitter and stuff.
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: And it's like, oh, it's obviously, you know, cleaner, safer, nicer looking than where I live.
- 26:22SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:23SPEAKER_01: And it's like, why are we talking about that?
- 26:26SPEAKER_01: But no, no, no, because us on the right are, you know, the loudest voices are fucking children.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: And they want to have LARP conversation about like, just LARPy shit.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: That's not real.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: Listen.
- 26:38SPEAKER_01: I don't care if you theoretically think that this is a good thing.
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: I'm going to put the fascist stuff aside for a second.
- 26:46SPEAKER_01: Monarchy.
- 26:48SPEAKER_01: Retarded.
- 26:50SPEAKER_01: Retarded.
- 26:53SPEAKER_01: Is monarchy a system that I would be for?
- 26:57SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
- 26:59SPEAKER_01: Is it realistic in the 21st century?
- 27:02SPEAKER_01: No.
- 27:04SPEAKER_01: A monarchy requires a mandate from God.
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: Of some sort, right?
- 27:11SPEAKER_01: It also requires a nobility.
- 27:14SPEAKER_01: Can somebody please point to me who would make up the nobility in the United States
- 27:20SPEAKER_01: for it to be a monarchy?
- 27:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know.
- 27:28SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 27:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there isn't anybody.
- 27:31SPEAKER_00: Hollywood was the best shot at it, and we saw how that went.
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: So there you go.
- 27:38SPEAKER_01: You can't have a monarchy without a mandate and a nobility.
- 27:41SPEAKER_01: We don't have any of that.
- 27:43SPEAKER_01: It's fucking done.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: And then here's another thing.
- 27:45SPEAKER_01: People are into monarchy.
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: They're always like in fascism and they're just like the leftist, right?
- 27:51SPEAKER_01: You know, the joke.
- 27:54SPEAKER_01: Brian in the chat said,
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: me, surely the new nobility would be me, which is exactly what I was going to go to.
- 28:00SPEAKER_01: We always pick on those stupid ass like lefty communist revolutionaries
- 28:04SPEAKER_01: who are like, you know, the art student working at the Starbucks or whatever.
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: I think they're going to be like the state artist and the state poet
- 28:12SPEAKER_01: when communism takes over,
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: but they're going to be working in a cobalt mine with their bare hands.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: It's the same thing on the right.
- 28:23SPEAKER_01: Do you know who thought that
- 28:27SPEAKER_01: Americans were basically inbred sloppy mongrels
- 28:32SPEAKER_01: who worshipped black people?
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: Hitler did my dudes.
- 28:38SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: You know, they got a declared war on America.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: So if you're an American, you're a sloppy mongrel.
- 28:45SPEAKER_01: You're not an Aryan, you know, Superman.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 28:48SPEAKER_01: Like, sorry to tell you that.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 28:51SPEAKER_01: Like,
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: You're not like if you're posting on Substack and you're like Canadian Asti 0021,
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 29:01SPEAKER_01: 1466 or whatever,
- 29:03SPEAKER_01: you're probably a subhuman mongrel to anybody that was high up in the Nazi party.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: Sorry to say that you'd get straight to the camp when the shit happened.
- 29:13SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 29:13SPEAKER_01: So like, let's just be like, let's just be realistic.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 29:17SPEAKER_01: Like it's just not suitable, but let's, let's like, Let's LARP for a minute, okay?
- 29:24SPEAKER_01: Let's give these guys the benefit of the doubt, all right?
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: How are you going to convince Americans that fascism is good?
- 29:34SPEAKER_01: What is fascism, Fisto, all right?
- 29:38SPEAKER_01: Okay, I mean, let's look it up.
- 29:41SPEAKER_01: Let's look up the Google, right?
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: All right, we'll Google it, because that's what everybody's going to do anyway.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: Okay, we're going to talk about fascism.
- 29:48SPEAKER_00: Okay, what is fascism?
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 29:52SPEAKER_01: According to Google, right?
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 29:54SPEAKER_01: The core characteristics are extreme nationalism.
- 29:58SPEAKER_01: Fascists believe their nation or race is superior to all others.
- 30:01SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 30:01SPEAKER_01: So what is,
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: are you going to,
- 30:04SPEAKER_01: in the United States,
- 30:06SPEAKER_01: are we going to get enough people to be extremely nationalist and believe
- 30:11SPEAKER_01: that America is the number one most nationalist country?
- 30:15SPEAKER_00: See, it's funny.
- 30:16SPEAKER_00: The definition I have here, I used Bing.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: An authoritarian and nationalistic,
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: white-winged government and social organization,
- 30:23SPEAKER_00: extremely authoritarian,
- 30:24SPEAKER_00: intolerant,
- 30:25SPEAKER_00: or oppressive ideas of behavior,
- 30:27SPEAKER_00: very intolerant, or domineering views or practices in a particular area.
- 30:31SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm literally a high school government teacher.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: One of the things we teach about is the First Amendment.
- 30:35SPEAKER_00: Like, you're going to have to make the argument that all of that should be scrapped
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: and thrown in the fire.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 30:41SPEAKER_00: Good fucking luck.
- 30:43SPEAKER_01: So Matt in the chat says...
- 30:46SPEAKER_01: All within the state,
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: nothing outside the state,
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: nothing against the state, which is basically like Mussolini, right?
- 30:51SPEAKER_01: That's Mussolini.
- 30:52SPEAKER_01: It's Mussolini, right?
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: So the goat, there it is.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: So the assumption of all the fascists is that they will be the state.
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: Somehow magically.
- 31:03SPEAKER_01: That is if you can get enough people.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: They'll be the same.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 31:07SPEAKER_01: That's it.
- 31:08SPEAKER_01: Like, so you who are on the outside, you have zero power, right?
- 31:13SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 31:14SPEAKER_01: And you are a minority belief, right?
- 31:19SPEAKER_01: Minority belief, right?
- 31:20SPEAKER_01: Like nobody's going to be like, yeah, man, I'm going to join your fascist club.
- 31:23SPEAKER_01: No, nobody's going to do it because nobody wants the state to control everything.
- 31:28SPEAKER_01: And there's not in America.
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's lots of American patriots.
- 31:36SPEAKER_01: They're not that patriotic, okay?
- 31:40SPEAKER_01: So, dude, just shut up.
- 31:41SPEAKER_01: It's stupid, right?
- 31:43SPEAKER_01: The whole conversation is dumb and impractical.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm trying to say.
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: It's dumb and practical, and it's also fed posty.
- 31:51SPEAKER_01: That's really where it comes down to.
- 31:53SPEAKER_01: And every conversation wasted on that is just...
- 31:58SPEAKER_01: It's just not going to happen.
- 31:59SPEAKER_01: It's not going to happen.
- 32:01SPEAKER_01: You're not going to have monarchy or fascism or any of your stupid ideas in America.
- 32:09SPEAKER_01: It's just not going to happen.
- 32:09SPEAKER_01: It's not going to happen in Europe.
- 32:10SPEAKER_01: It's not going to happen anywhere.
- 32:11SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 32:12SPEAKER_01: Because it's been tried and it failed.
- 32:16SPEAKER_00: Yes, it failed very badly.
- 32:18SPEAKER_00: It failed.
- 32:19SPEAKER_01: It didn't last more than 15 years max.
- 32:22SPEAKER_00: A couple decades, yeah.
- 32:24SPEAKER_01: Not even a couple of decades.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: I don't think it lasted a couple of decades.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: When did the fascists come in power in Germany?
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: I mean, in Italy?
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: I don't remember.
- 32:34SPEAKER_01: A slight slightly a bit over a decade.
- 32:36SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 32:37SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't work, guys.
- 32:39SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
- 32:40SPEAKER_01: It's over.
- 32:41SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 32:41SPEAKER_01: It's just not going to happen.
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: You're never gonna move on.
- 32:43SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
- 32:44SPEAKER_01: There is no you know,
- 32:46SPEAKER_01: the closest country to you to like having a nationalistic kind of extremist country,
- 32:51SPEAKER_01: it would be like a country like Japan.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: Or with like,
- 32:54SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 32:55SPEAKER_00: 99% racial homogeny,
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: I mean, India has a better chance of being a fascist country than the United States.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
- 33:04SPEAKER_01: You just don't have it.
- 33:04SPEAKER_01: You need a united nation of people and you don't have that in America.
- 33:09SPEAKER_01: So it's not realistic.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: And no American is going to want the government to dictate every element of their life.
- 33:17SPEAKER_01: It doesn't work in the 21st century.
- 33:21SPEAKER_01: Neoliberal corporate democracy defeated everything.
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: And that's where we are.
- 33:27SPEAKER_01: And that's what we need to deal with.
- 33:29SPEAKER_01: We can't pretend to go back in time We have to address the neo-capitalism of
- 33:36SPEAKER_01: the neoliberalism head on by coming up with a solution,
- 33:40SPEAKER_01: not trying to LARP in the past.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: We need to come up with a novel solution that actually is organically grown out of
- 33:49SPEAKER_00: the current situation.
- 33:51SPEAKER_01: Like nine out of 10 white people are not going to give up their sports ball
- 33:56SPEAKER_01: and their Mexican girlfriends and all their cheap Chinese crap so they can wave
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: a flag with your fellow white man.
- 34:05SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 34:06SPEAKER_01: It's just not going to fucking happen.
- 34:07SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 34:08SPEAKER_01: And that's, you know, the fact that only about 70% of the country is white.
- 34:12SPEAKER_01: So you have 30% of people.
- 34:14SPEAKER_01: What are you going to do?
- 34:15SPEAKER_01: Eliminate every minority.
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: Like I think we already had this conversation where we looked up like that,
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 34:21SPEAKER_01: like we said that like racism is retarded because it's just non,
- 34:25SPEAKER_01: it's non-viable from a practical standpoint.
- 34:28SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 34:29SPEAKER_00: No one has the capacity or the stomach for it.
- 34:31SPEAKER_01: No, never.
- 34:32SPEAKER_00: And these guys want to pretend they do, but they will right up until they shoot that first kid.
- 34:35SPEAKER_00: Then they're going to go, oh shit.
- 34:36SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 34:37SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 34:38SPEAKER_01: So you're either a fucking absolute insane psycho.
- 34:43SPEAKER_01: Who are just saying the dumbest shit online.
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: Or it's just fake.
- 34:47SPEAKER_01: Like, shut up.
- 34:48SPEAKER_01: I'm tired of having this conversation.
- 34:50SPEAKER_01: And you go to Europe.
- 34:53SPEAKER_01: And people are like, oh, well, you're so-and-so.
- 34:58SPEAKER_01: Why don't you like the mustache, man?
- 35:00SPEAKER_01: It's like, dude, okay, listen, man.
- 35:02SPEAKER_01: You're never going to get Europeans to hop aboard any type of life.
- 35:06SPEAKER_01: Because their entire continent was wrecked by that retard.
- 35:09SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 35:09SPEAKER_01: All right?
- 35:11SPEAKER_01: Almost...
- 35:12SPEAKER_01: Every European has a family member that fought against Germany to a certain degree,
- 35:17SPEAKER_01: unless they were on the German side.
- 35:18SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 35:19SPEAKER_01: And nobody wants that.
- 35:23SPEAKER_01: Nobody has a stomach for that.
- 35:24SPEAKER_01: And you're just not going to get any of the Slavs like the Russians and stuff to be
- 35:28SPEAKER_01: on any of that stuff.
- 35:30SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 35:31SPEAKER_01: Like they still have parades where they have like,
- 35:33SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 35:34SPEAKER_01: the veterans, like,
- 35:34SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 35:35SPEAKER_01: up until like the last one,
- 35:36SPEAKER_01: a few of them died and stuff,
- 35:37SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 35:37SPEAKER_01: with their,
- 35:38SPEAKER_01: with their medals from like the, the, the battle of Stalingrad and stuff.
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 35:41SPEAKER_00: It's just not going to happen.
- 35:43SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 35:44SPEAKER_01: Literally.
- 35:44SPEAKER_01: They call it the great patriotic war.
- 35:47SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 35:49SPEAKER_01: It's like, it's just never going to happen, dude.
- 35:51SPEAKER_01: Nobody like, and ultimately the whole thing was retarded.
- 35:56SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 35:57SPEAKER_01: Anybody that decides that, you know what?
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: I'm not able to conquer England, a small little fucking island, right?
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: With my Superman Luthoff.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: I'm about to launch Operation Barbarossa.
- 36:11SPEAKER_01: So you know what's a great idea?
- 36:12SPEAKER_01: Declare war on the United States.
- 36:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's do it.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: Just declare war on everybody.
- 36:17SPEAKER_01: Fucking retard.
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: Everything was retarded.
- 36:20SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 36:21SPEAKER_01: All right?
- 36:21SPEAKER_01: You don't have to be a military strategist to go, hmm,
- 36:24SPEAKER_01: this giant country across the ocean is basically neutral and So now I'm going
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: to declare war on it and bring them into the war.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 36:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 36:34SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 36:35SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 36:36SPEAKER_01: Good luck.
- 36:37SPEAKER_01: Good luck.
- 36:38SPEAKER_01: It's just stupid.
- 36:39SPEAKER_01: It's just stupid.
- 36:39SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 36:40SPEAKER_01: And it wastes time and these guys are bots.
- 36:42SPEAKER_01: So my new policy is dumb shit.
- 36:44SPEAKER_01: I insta block now.
- 36:45SPEAKER_01: I'm tired.
- 36:46SPEAKER_01: I'm actually going to try to curate my feed.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: Curate my feed to just intelligent conversation.
- 36:54SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 36:55SPEAKER_01: Like, But I'm bad, man.
- 36:57SPEAKER_01: I got into that art conversation,
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: you know?
- 37:03SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 37:04SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 37:05SPEAKER_00: So for you guys at home on Substack,
- 37:08SPEAKER_01: there's this perennial kind of thing that comes up.
- 37:11SPEAKER_01: And this is like a – it's another conspiracy, right?
- 37:14SPEAKER_01: No, it's not a conspiracy.
- 37:15SPEAKER_01: It's actually like a Hitler conspiracy that he himself –
- 37:20SPEAKER_00: A Hitler conspiracy.
- 37:21SPEAKER_01: Right, ranted,
- 37:22SPEAKER_01: which is that he was – There's this perception in some Chud circles
- 37:27SPEAKER_01: that he was actually a really good artist,
- 37:30SPEAKER_01: but it's because his art was traditional, right?
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: Not the new modern abstract.
- 37:37SPEAKER_01: So the Academy of Arts in Vienna rejected him because they were under the control of
- 37:43SPEAKER_01: the evil abstract expressionist Cubist Jews or whatever, right?
- 37:48SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 37:49SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 37:50SPEAKER_00: And the very famous Cubist Jews, arch enemies of the Orthodox Jews.
- 37:54SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 37:55SPEAKER_01: So, so that's kind of the thing, you know, and Hitler's art was pretty good.
- 37:59SPEAKER_01: No, it wasn't guys.
- 38:00SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 38:01SPEAKER_01: Like, listen, his art was not good.
- 38:02SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 38:05SPEAKER_01: You know, and the idiot.
- 38:07SPEAKER_01: And the chat was like, well, yeah,
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: maybe he wasn't that great,
- 38:11SPEAKER_01: but that's why he applied to go to school,
- 38:13SPEAKER_01: which shows that the funniest part about it,
- 38:15SPEAKER_01: this idiot, I don't even know, I forgot his name.
- 38:17SPEAKER_01: This idiot, right?
- 38:18SPEAKER_01: Has Astete in his name, right?
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: And he says Canadian Astete.
- 38:23SPEAKER_01: So Lisa, he's one of your people, right?
- 38:26SPEAKER_01: He got a bad batch of maple syrup on the brain.
- 38:29SPEAKER_01: This your boy?
- 38:30SPEAKER_00: This your boy, Lisa?
- 38:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: And he, Astete is a lover of art and beauty guys, but he doesn't understand that.
- 38:39SPEAKER_01: Listen guys,
- 38:40SPEAKER_01: an art school, like a, like
- 38:46SPEAKER_01: an art school of the level of the Vienna Academy of Art.
- 38:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 38:51SPEAKER_01: Which is, this is a national art school.
- 38:53SPEAKER_01: This is like the peak studio school, right?
- 38:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:57SPEAKER_01: This is the school that had Gustav Klimt showings.
- 39:01SPEAKER_01: And look at Google the Vienna Academy 1908 when Hitler applied.
- 39:08SPEAKER_01: And you look at the work.
- 39:12SPEAKER_01: It's not like you're a community college art class taught by some derelict professor
- 39:19SPEAKER_01: in Tuscaloosa.
- 39:21SPEAKER_01: This is like an academy in Europe in a premier city.
- 39:28SPEAKER_01: And you don't go there to learn how to paint.
- 39:36SPEAKER_01: The people that went to those schools and the people that still go to those schools,
- 39:41SPEAKER_01: they started doing art and drawing and painting,
- 39:46SPEAKER_01: oil painting and sculpture when they were children.
- 39:50SPEAKER_01: It's like a master's level thing.
- 39:53SPEAKER_01: You go there to...
- 39:55SPEAKER_01: Be around in a studio environment.
- 39:57SPEAKER_01: Nobody teaches you stuff in art school.
- 40:00SPEAKER_01: People don't understand this.
- 40:01SPEAKER_01: You don't get taught stuff in art school.
- 40:05SPEAKER_01: You're networking.
- 40:06SPEAKER_01: You apply to, you work with masters, right?
- 40:09SPEAKER_01: And you like work with other equal level students and you get inspired by them and stuff.
- 40:15SPEAKER_01: You're not learning.
- 40:16SPEAKER_01: They only want the best of the best, right?
- 40:19SPEAKER_01: Now, the other absolute nonsense is, I mean, his art, his art kind of, it just kind of sucks.
- 40:25SPEAKER_01: It's not like,
- 40:27SPEAKER_01: it looks impressive if you don't know how to draw or paint or don't appreciate art,
- 40:32SPEAKER_01: all right?
- 40:32SPEAKER_01: It just, and it looks good if like,
- 40:35SPEAKER_01: for like,
- 40:36SPEAKER_01: If your grandma does it and sells it at the flea market, that's his level of art.
- 40:40SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of technical errors that you can see, but it's not about technical errors.
- 40:47SPEAKER_01: It's about the point.
- 40:48SPEAKER_01: Art is about communication and it doesn't have any soul to it.
- 40:52SPEAKER_01: It's boring.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: You realize right away that it doesn't fit into anything because if you were
- 40:59SPEAKER_01: to spend in Google 1908 art or paintings from 1908,
- 41:04SPEAKER_01: It'll blow your mind what paintings can I shared one of them, right?
- 41:07SPEAKER_01: The Waterhouse painting, right?
- 41:09SPEAKER_01: And I shared that one specifically to show that no,
- 41:11SPEAKER_01: no, no, actually, it wasn't an era of, you know, expressionism, right?
- 41:17SPEAKER_01: Or like,
- 41:17SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 41:18SPEAKER_01: like a modern,
- 41:18SPEAKER_01: like abstract expressionism,
- 41:20SPEAKER_01: which, by the way, did not exist until after World War Two, right?
- 41:27SPEAKER_01: And World War Two was partly
- 41:31SPEAKER_01: World War II partly created abstract expressionism because the depression of
- 41:36SPEAKER_01: a post-war world led to the idea of post-modernism,
- 41:40SPEAKER_01: which questioned form completely.
- 41:46SPEAKER_01: Even if you were to take into account the art world was all about cubism and stuff, right?
- 41:52SPEAKER_01: You can look at Pablo Picasso's childhood paintings because he started painting
- 41:57SPEAKER_01: when he was like four.
- 41:58SPEAKER_01: And his little kid paintings are better than Hitler's adult paintings.
- 42:02SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 42:03SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 42:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 42:05SPEAKER_01: Pablo Picasso was a master at the age of seven.
- 42:08SPEAKER_01: And by the time he got into his Cubist era, he was way beyond that, right?
- 42:15SPEAKER_01: In a way, it's like, it's like,
- 42:22SPEAKER_01: Hitler's art is good if you bring a home movie on a VHS and try to get it accepted
- 42:31SPEAKER_01: into the Academy Award in like the year 2010.
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: Hitler's art is good if all you know about art comes from Wikipedia.
- 42:41SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 42:42SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 42:43SPEAKER_01: So it's dumb.
- 42:44SPEAKER_01: And having that conversation is over and over stupid.
- 42:47SPEAKER_01: And it's like, I even pointed out that like, I think I shared a link.
- 42:53SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you saw it.
- 42:54SPEAKER_01: It's interesting.
- 42:55SPEAKER_01: I shared a link on Substack.
- 42:57SPEAKER_00: Let me see if I have it here.
- 42:58SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 43:00SPEAKER_00: I probably see it.
- 43:01SPEAKER_00: I probably
- 43:02SPEAKER_01: saw it.
- 43:02SPEAKER_01: It was in that post,
- 43:03SPEAKER_01: which was actually a link to a sketchbook that was used to get accepted
- 43:09SPEAKER_01: into CalArts, right?
- 43:12SPEAKER_01: And CalArts is...
- 43:17SPEAKER_01: It's probably one of the top, most famous art schools in the United States.
- 43:23SPEAKER_01: Obviously, it's in California.
- 43:24SPEAKER_01: But it's also kind of hated by a lot of people because their main focus is animation.
- 43:30SPEAKER_01: And they did all that.
- 43:31SPEAKER_01: There's that CalArts style, the bean mouth and all that stuff, right?
- 43:35SPEAKER_01: But if you look, I posted, I think she was a 17-year-old or a high school student.
- 43:40SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes.
- 43:41SPEAKER_01: I did see
- 43:41SPEAKER_00: some of that.
- 43:42SPEAKER_01: Her art in a sketchbook.
- 43:46SPEAKER_01: At 17 is better than all of Hitler's stuff that he turned in.
- 43:50SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry to say that.
- 43:50SPEAKER_00: Some of that stuff is great.
- 43:52SPEAKER_01: A lot of that stuff is not finished because it's a sketchbook or it's meant
- 43:56SPEAKER_01: to be fast, but there's soul to it.
- 43:59SPEAKER_01: I did that on purpose to share because I'm like,
- 44:01SPEAKER_01: look, this is what gets accepted into an art school today.
- 44:06SPEAKER_01: You don't just apply to an art school.
- 44:09SPEAKER_01: Somebody said something really stupid.
- 44:12SPEAKER_01: I'm tired of fucking retards comment bombing.
- 44:16SPEAKER_01: Don't comment.
- 44:18SPEAKER_01: When you sit down and you put your fingers on the keyboard, guys,
- 44:21SPEAKER_01: and start typing with your fat fucking chud fingers on your phone or whatever,
- 44:25SPEAKER_01: look at it and go, is this retarded?
- 44:28SPEAKER_01: And if it's retarded, don't do it, okay?
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: Which might be hard because you're all retarded for the most part.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: But somebody commented like, oh, it doesn't teach you art.
- 44:38SPEAKER_01: It teaches you to make coffee.
- 44:42SPEAKER_01: We're talking about CalArts here, right?
- 44:44SPEAKER_01: No, no.
- 44:44SPEAKER_01: It doesn't teach you to make coffee.
- 44:46SPEAKER_01: It teaches you to make the product that's been raising your fucking children for
- 44:49SPEAKER_01: the last 20 years, all right?
- 44:52SPEAKER_01: That's what art school does.
- 44:53SPEAKER_01: And that's why you dumb fucking conservatives have no fucking power whatsoever
- 44:58SPEAKER_01: because you think like that.
- 44:59SPEAKER_01: You think like fucking retards, right?
- 45:02SPEAKER_01: You don't go to art school.
- 45:03SPEAKER_01: You don't go to writing.
- 45:05SPEAKER_01: You don't do any of that stuff.
- 45:06SPEAKER_01: And you let the other side go to CalArts.
- 45:09SPEAKER_01: You let the other side make the cartoons,
- 45:12SPEAKER_01: make the entertainment,
- 45:13SPEAKER_01: make everything, run Disney and the video games and everything.
- 45:16SPEAKER_01: And they control the narrative that you might think you're too smart
- 45:20SPEAKER_01: to get fucking propagandized by,
- 45:22SPEAKER_01: even though you watched the NFL and all the other stupid chud shit, right?
- 45:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 45:27SPEAKER_01: But your kids are watching it, right?
- 45:29SPEAKER_01: And then you might say, oh, I'm not going to let my kids watch TV.
- 45:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay, shut up, all right?
- 45:34SPEAKER_01: I see all the chuds in their kids with their fucking iPads and shit, okay?
- 45:37SPEAKER_01: So you know what?
- 45:39SPEAKER_01: Your kid,
- 45:40SPEAKER_01: you might be too based for your kid to ever watch the CalArts cartoons
- 45:43SPEAKER_01: that are like brainwashing your kids,
- 45:45SPEAKER_01: but all their friends at school and the dance and whatever are watching that kind
- 45:49SPEAKER_01: of stuff, right?
- 45:50SPEAKER_01: So that's why we fucking lose because we're too busy LARPing as fucking Nazis
- 45:55SPEAKER_01: and going, ooh, stupid art people in their coffee, you know?
- 45:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, fuck you.
- 45:59SPEAKER_01: That's why we lose, guys, okay?
- 46:01SPEAKER_01: Because we stepped out of every realm that matters, you know?
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: End rant, my dude, end rant.
- 46:10SPEAKER_01: You had some good points.
- 46:16SPEAKER_01: What does this deal with this obsessive new racialism?
- 46:22SPEAKER_01: It's not a realistic situation, guys.
- 46:25SPEAKER_01: It's just not going to happen.
- 46:27SPEAKER_01: We can be honest about it.
- 46:29SPEAKER_01: We can be honest and you can be self-protective and stuff.
- 46:32SPEAKER_01: But there was another...
- 46:35SPEAKER_01: There was another kind of conversation, right?
- 46:38SPEAKER_01: And actually, I kind of wanted this to be my main point.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: Let me find it real fast.
- 46:44SPEAKER_00: I wanted this to be kind of my main point today,
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: but then we got sidetracked by stuff in the last two days.
- 46:49SPEAKER_01: But something that really, really stuck with me.
- 46:51SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
- 46:54SPEAKER_01: Let me find it real fast.
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: Because I think somebody I like posted this, but Copernican posted this, but it was kind of
- 47:03SPEAKER_01: It kind of came off boomer-y, but I wanted to share it with you guys.
- 47:07SPEAKER_01: I'm sure almost everybody that's live right now has heard it.
- 47:11SPEAKER_01: I mean, saw it.
- 47:13SPEAKER_01: Why is this shit so stupid slow?
- 47:17SPEAKER_01: Give me a second, guys.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're fine.
- 47:24SPEAKER_01: I'm going to do this.
- 47:28SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:29SPEAKER_01: Do-do-do-do-do-do.
- 47:36SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: Do we have the thing?
- 47:41SPEAKER_01: I think we're doing it here, right?
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 47:43SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: Oh, you're putting it up on the big screen.
- 47:48SPEAKER_01: I'm putting it up on the big screen.
- 47:51SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: When are we going to do our PowerPoint episode?
- 47:55SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 47:56SPEAKER_01: We need more PowerPoints.
- 47:57SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I can find it.
- 47:59SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I can find it.
- 48:00SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to look for it.
- 48:07SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 48:07SPEAKER_01: I call this guy a retard boomer.
- 48:09SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 48:09SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 48:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, here we go.
- 48:12SPEAKER_00: That's so funny.
- 48:14SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 48:15SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 48:15SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 48:16SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 48:16SPEAKER_01: Do you see it?
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 48:23SPEAKER_00: I still just see the beautiful back of Dr. Manhattan's head.
- 48:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes, this.
- 48:30SPEAKER_01: There we go.
- 48:31SPEAKER_01: Shit.
- 48:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 48:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the goth chick saying dumb shit.
- 48:34SPEAKER_01: Okay, goth chicks ain't dumb shit.
- 48:35SPEAKER_01: So for you guys at home, there's a picture of a dumb chick with some text on it, right?
- 48:41SPEAKER_01: And it says, am I the only one with 0% of patriotism in me?
- 48:46SPEAKER_01: The concept of caring about your country and even going to war to defend it is so weird.
- 48:52SPEAKER_01: My country could be erased from the earth or some...
- 48:55SPEAKER_01: One could burn my flag in front of me and I wouldn't care.
- 48:57SPEAKER_01: For me, it's just a piece of land on this planet.
- 49:00SPEAKER_01: Can patriotic people explain what they feel?
- 49:03SPEAKER_01: That's genuinely strange for me.
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: So that's her comment.
- 49:07SPEAKER_01: And then the comments on this were, you know, surprisingly boomer, right?
- 49:10SPEAKER_01: Like it looks like she wants to be a war bride.
- 49:12SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 49:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 49:14SPEAKER_01: Against who?
- 49:15SPEAKER_01: And I call them a boomer.
- 49:19SPEAKER_01: Doge Patriarch, actually.
- 49:20SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 49:21SPEAKER_01: But here's the thing.
- 49:22SPEAKER_01: It's all boomer slop.
- 49:23SPEAKER_01: The conversation's all boomer slop.
- 49:25SPEAKER_01: Like, oh, she's stupid.
- 49:26SPEAKER_01: But is she stupid?
- 49:28SPEAKER_01: She's obviously a Gen Z-er, right?
- 49:31SPEAKER_01: And we on our side of the world,
- 49:36SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 49:36SPEAKER_01: have basically been just shitting on how sucky everything is and how,
- 49:40SPEAKER_01: you know, what is there to be patriotic about?
- 49:47SPEAKER_01: You know?
- 49:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 49:48SPEAKER_01: There isn't much.
- 49:51SPEAKER_01: The right wing fascist types are like,
- 49:53SPEAKER_01: basically, it's just the US is just a Zionist controlled pawn.
- 49:58SPEAKER_01: So what?
- 49:58SPEAKER_01: Should I be patriotic about that?
- 50:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 50:03SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 50:04SPEAKER_01: So is she wrong, guys?
- 50:06SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm confused, right?
- 50:10SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, like.
- 50:15SPEAKER_01: I think.
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: For me anyway,
- 50:21SPEAKER_00: patriotism is probably tired and worn out because of the symbols are
- 50:31SPEAKER_00: bureaucratic
- 50:33SPEAKER_00: and artificial and detached from the reality around me,
- 50:40SPEAKER_00: which is why I get a lot more excited about North America as a whole.
- 50:46SPEAKER_00: Because I've seen so much of it.
- 50:48SPEAKER_00: And I love so much of it.
- 50:49SPEAKER_00: And I've seen so many other people.
- 50:51SPEAKER_00: And I've met so many other people.
- 50:52SPEAKER_00: And I've had relationships and loved and lost and all that stuff.
- 50:58SPEAKER_00: My entire life has happened on this fucking continent.
- 51:00SPEAKER_01: Correct.
- 51:01SPEAKER_00: So that gets me.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: That, yeah.
- 51:05SPEAKER_00: Get the rifle.
- 51:06SPEAKER_00: I'm going up the hill.
- 51:08SPEAKER_00: Like, do or die.
- 51:09SPEAKER_00: Don't even care.
- 51:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 51:13SPEAKER_00: But the United States of America,
- 51:16SPEAKER_00: like the stars and the stripes,
- 51:19SPEAKER_00: I know that that is simply the political organization that currently dominates
- 51:22SPEAKER_00: the continent.
- 51:23SPEAKER_00: The continent will outlast it.
- 51:26SPEAKER_00: And the people on the continent will also outlast it.
- 51:30SPEAKER_00: So I can't get that excited about it.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: I also think something, just hold up, one more thought.
- 51:38SPEAKER_00: I also think that The stuff I teach at school,
- 51:42SPEAKER_00: one of the reasons why I'm not so sure any kind of monarchy or anything like
- 51:48SPEAKER_00: that will work anytime soon in North America is because the Constitution and
- 51:53SPEAKER_00: the Bill of Rights,
- 51:55SPEAKER_00: these are guys who understood what the government in this continent would have
- 52:01SPEAKER_00: to be.
- 52:02SPEAKER_00: You're going to have a bunch of little countries.
- 52:05SPEAKER_00: And if you have one big brother that basically defends all of it, right?
- 52:09SPEAKER_00: Coast to coast, stay the fuck out, right?
- 52:13SPEAKER_00: That's what it has to be.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: That federalism, whatever is in North America will be that in some degree.
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: Because it has to be.
- 52:22SPEAKER_00: It's too fucking huge.
- 52:24SPEAKER_00: And we don't have the nationalism or the culture groups that Europe has.
- 52:31SPEAKER_00: We come from there, but this land is different.
- 52:34SPEAKER_00: This land is different.
- 52:35SPEAKER_00: And so the people are different.
- 52:37SPEAKER_00: I really like to post Isaac Simpson made where he basically said, Americans are Kulaks.
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: We're all Kulaks.
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: We want to just be left alone to do cool stuff.
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: And like, if we have to fuck you up, we're going to go get the job done and come home.
- 52:50SPEAKER_01: Like we just want
- 52:54SPEAKER_00: to take it with our stuff and be left alone.
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: You know, so that I can get excited about because that's what I actually am.
- 53:01SPEAKER_00: I feel deep.
- 53:03SPEAKER_00: I feel deep love for that.
- 53:05SPEAKER_00: Patriotism?
- 53:07SPEAKER_00: Nah, it's something bigger than patriotism.
- 53:09SPEAKER_00: It's a transcendental sense of duty.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: That's what I feel.
- 53:14SPEAKER_00: Patriotism?
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: That's waving the flag on the 4th of July.
- 53:16SPEAKER_00: Nah, nah, that's not it.
- 53:21SPEAKER_01: Here's an interesting kind of question, right?
- 53:23SPEAKER_01: So it's, you know, it's 9-9-26 today.
- 53:26SPEAKER_01: In two days, it's going to be 9-11.
- 53:29SPEAKER_01: It's going to be
- 53:33SPEAKER_01: You know, what is it now?
- 53:37SPEAKER_01: 25 years?
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: All of my students will be asking me about 9-11 in hopes
- 53:42SPEAKER_00: that it means it will get me distracted and we won't have to do actual work.
- 53:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I am the only person where I work that was alive during 9-11.
- 53:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 53:53SPEAKER_00: It's kind of silly looking back.
- 53:55SPEAKER_00: I had one of my students had me like do like a little worksheet for her class.
- 53:58SPEAKER_00: Like I wrote in like where I was and what do I remember and this and that and the other thing.
- 54:03SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, I was at college in Ohio.
- 54:06SPEAKER_00: Like I watched it on TV, guys.
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: Like I didn't really, it's not like I was in New York, right?
- 54:12SPEAKER_00: It's not like I knew anybody.
- 54:14SPEAKER_00: It's not like I had family involved, you know?
- 54:16SPEAKER_00: Medgold had a post where his dad came home covered in soot, right?
- 54:21SPEAKER_00: Like that's, That's someone you want to talk to, right?
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: That would be an interesting conversation.
- 54:27SPEAKER_00: I watched it on TV, guys.
- 54:29SPEAKER_00: I brushed my teeth.
- 54:30SPEAKER_00: The internet wasn't working.
- 54:31SPEAKER_00: I didn't know why.
- 54:32SPEAKER_00: I went to class and, oh, huh, those are getting blown the fuck up.
- 54:36SPEAKER_00: How about that?
- 54:38SPEAKER_00: It's not that interesting.
- 54:39SPEAKER_01: It just isn't.
- 54:43SPEAKER_01: I was on the West Coast.
- 54:44SPEAKER_01: I was actually still a senior in high school.
- 54:45SPEAKER_01: I was a senior in high school.
- 54:47SPEAKER_00: And I got to my sophomore college.
- 54:50SPEAKER_01: And it was really early in the morning for us because we were in California.
- 54:54SPEAKER_01: So we didn't turn the TV on and stuff.
- 54:59SPEAKER_01: Here's kind of a downer kind of question.
- 55:02SPEAKER_01: And I don't know the answer, right?
- 55:06SPEAKER_01: So you remember after 9-11, there was just this like exceptionally...
- 55:12SPEAKER_01: Hardcore surge in patriotism, right?
- 55:14SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 55:16SPEAKER_01: Everywhere.
- 55:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was.
- 55:17SPEAKER_00: Everybody was joining.
- 55:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, everybody was joining the Marine Corps.
- 55:21SPEAKER_01: It was like even like the even big shit libs were like pro,
- 55:24SPEAKER_01: you know, like they're like on board, you know, it was squandered real.
- 55:30SPEAKER_00: Vladimir called George Bush and said, let's ride, you know, like.
- 55:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
- 55:35SPEAKER_01: It was squandered by like,
- 55:37SPEAKER_01: you know, oh, let's invade a country that had nothing to do with this.
- 55:41SPEAKER_01: And like the whole yellow cake uranium stuff and everything.
- 55:44SPEAKER_01: But in those first few weeks and months, the patriotism was pretty intense.
- 55:51SPEAKER_01: And the love for New York was just like off the wall, you know.
- 55:55SPEAKER_01: Do you think that if 9-11 happened today, the rest of the country would...
- 56:04SPEAKER_01: This is where the question is kind of fucked up.
- 56:07SPEAKER_01: Do you think that if 9-11 happened today,
- 56:11SPEAKER_01: like the Twin Towers happened today and New York are hit by a terrorist attack
- 56:16SPEAKER_01: with Mondami and the way that people feel about New York right now,
- 56:22SPEAKER_01: do you think people would rally for New York in the same way they did back in 2001?
- 56:29SPEAKER_00: No, they absolutely wouldn't.
- 56:35SPEAKER_00: Anyone, anyone not democratic would just go, serves them right.
- 56:41SPEAKER_00: Like they wouldn't care.
- 56:43SPEAKER_00: I would actually expect,
- 56:44SPEAKER_00: I would actually suspect significant unrest because I think a lot of,
- 56:50SPEAKER_00: I think a lot of tensions would boil over and I think a lot of anger would boil
- 56:54SPEAKER_00: over.
- 56:55SPEAKER_00: You'd have all of the Republicans would probably just blame the Democrats and
- 57:00SPEAKER_00: then all the crazy leftists, all the crazy Democrats would say it was Trump's fault.
- 57:04SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 57:06SPEAKER_00: I mean, you would have just straight up, Trump did 9-11.
- 57:10SPEAKER_00: And that would be just the brain.
- 57:13SPEAKER_00: It would be the loudest donkey beret you had ever heard in your entire life.
- 57:18SPEAKER_00: That's what it would be.
- 57:19SPEAKER_00: And it would never stop.
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: It would never stop.
- 57:23SPEAKER_00: Until I don't even know.
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it would collapse the government in some regard.
- 57:30SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't be surprised if it fundamentally wounded the federal government in a way
- 57:34SPEAKER_00: that was fatal.
- 57:36SPEAKER_01: I agree.
- 57:36SPEAKER_01: We're not talking about 9-11 here.
- 57:38SPEAKER_01: We're talking about an actual, like a new, similar terrorist attack on New York, right?
- 57:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 57:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 57:45SPEAKER_00: Like a suitcase nuke or a dirty bomb or like something like that.
- 57:50SPEAKER_00: And especially these days where if it wasn't,
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: if it wasn't clear how it occurred or what occurred,
- 57:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, you'd have people saying it was fake, right?
- 57:58SPEAKER_00: Like it would be- Oh, yeah.
- 58:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 58:02SPEAKER_00: However many opinions, yeah, no one, no one would know what happened.
- 58:05SPEAKER_00: No one would really know what would happen.
- 58:07SPEAKER_00: And it would be, it'd be open season on, you know, I think you're right.
- 58:13SPEAKER_00: I think I'm for advantage.
- 58:15SPEAKER_01: I think,
- 58:15SPEAKER_01: unfortunately,
- 58:16SPEAKER_01: there would be no rallying around the flag or rallying around the people.
- 58:20SPEAKER_01: I think there's a very,
- 58:24SPEAKER_01: especially after the COVID era and the 2020 Floyd riots and stuff,
- 58:29SPEAKER_01: I think there's a very hardcore hatred towards big cities in the Netherlands.
- 58:34SPEAKER_01: I mean, it always existed, but now I think it's reached the level where nobody would care.
- 58:40SPEAKER_00: It would be
- 58:41SPEAKER_01: like, fuck New York.
- 58:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 58:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, in Florida, it would be, don't come here.
- 58:49SPEAKER_00: Don't come here.
- 58:50SPEAKER_01: And then the question is,
- 58:54SPEAKER_01: I don't have to ask the opposite question right because we know exactly how
- 59:00SPEAKER_01: the new yorkers and liberals uh you know reacted to when there was a you know floods
- 59:06SPEAKER_01: and hurricane in north carolina and they basically said you deserve to die because
- 59:11SPEAKER_01: of global warming or whatever you know right even though the affected areas
- 59:14SPEAKER_01: of north carolina Or the most shit-lib,
- 59:17SPEAKER_01: hick-lib areas like Asheville,
- 59:19SPEAKER_01: which is literally like,
- 59:20SPEAKER_01: I saw more trans flags and Kamala Harris stuff in Asheville than I did
- 59:25SPEAKER_01: in Los Angeles.
- 59:30SPEAKER_01: But I remember how the libs acted towards North Carolina when people were dying
- 59:34SPEAKER_01: and their houses were being flooded away.
- 59:36SPEAKER_01: So we know exactly how they would react if something bad happened to outside their
- 59:40SPEAKER_00: cities.
- 59:43SPEAKER_00: They make it all about themselves.
- 59:45SPEAKER_00: It'd be all about themselves.
- 59:46SPEAKER_00: It would be about how, you know, women most affected, that would be the headlines.
- 59:50SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 59:50SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 59:51SPEAKER_00: Stuff like that.
- 59:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 59:52SPEAKER_01: So we know, we know that, right?
- 59:54SPEAKER_01: So, and I'm not, I'm not just bringing this up to like, kind of sort of a different topic.
- 59:59SPEAKER_01: I'm bringing this up because it ties into the previous
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_01: topic, which is that.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_00: Very good.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_01: So if that's the country we live in,
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_01: how are you going to have a fierce nationalistic unity,
- 1:00:11SPEAKER_01: which is what fascism requires, my dudes.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_00: Are you going to kill half the country?
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_00: What enemy are we going to rally against?
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_01: That's the problem with white nationalism to a certain degree.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_01: The problem is that all the other non-white people are irrelevant to the conversation.
- 1:00:37SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_01: Do you see what I mean?
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_01: Like all the things that you hate about the politics,
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_01: if you are a racist white supremacist, right?
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_01: All the things that you hate about the way things are have nothing to do with the other races.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_01: They have everything to do with other white people making the laws that,
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_01: that create the things you don't like.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_01: It's like, you know, it's, it's like, um,
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_01: The Civil War happened,
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_01: but it wasn't like everybody,
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_01: like racism becomes this huge topic whenever people discussed the Civil War, right?
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_01: But it wasn't white people, like Southerners fighting black slaves that wanted to be free, okay?
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_01: Right, it was white folks, white folks.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_01: It was white folks fighting white folks.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_01: It's not a race issue.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_01: The race part is a secondary topic to it.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_01: If you're a crazy white nationalist type,
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_01: you have to deal with the fact that white people don't like you.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_00: All the white people with power don't like you.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_01: There is nobody that likes those people because you're all fucking retards.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_01: Because I hate you because you're dumb.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_01: That's not how things work.
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_01: You can't have a fascist country where nobody's on board with it.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_01: It doesn't work
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_00: like that.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_01: And you don't have the power to make me on board with it.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you can't make a country like that out of kulaks.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_00: Because they all want to be left alone and they want to just do their stuff.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_00: I don't want to, I don't want to go,
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_00: I don't want to go to some faraway land and throw the ring in the mountain.
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_00: I want to, I want to hang out and be a hobbit.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_01: Leave me alone.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_01: Even if I, even if I love this country, I don't want to go to your fucking parade.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_01: I don't, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to invade another country for you.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_01: I don't want to do that.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't want that.
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_00: It wasn't that great.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_01: I don't.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_01: I've already been there.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_01: I did it all for the money.
- 1:02:52SPEAKER_01: Actually, I did it all because I wanted to look cool at bars to chicks.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm not like those other guys.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_01: I save lives.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_01: I'm a medic.
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_00: Anyways.
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man, chicks.
- 1:03:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_01: I have a picture that is my ultimate.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_01: It used to be my profile pic on OKCupid.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_01: You know how much... That thing made me slay, bro.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_01: Slay.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_01: It's me.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_01: You had the army helmet and everything.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_00: You had the whole... No, no, no, no.
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_01: It's me in Afghanistan, and I'm listening to his little Afghani kid's heart with a stethoscope.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_00: Oh, jeez, dude.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_00: Fucking really?
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_00: So baller.
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_00: I've got to find that shit for you one of these days
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_01: to show it to you.
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, guys.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_01: I love my country, but I don't want to march to Stalingrad in the winter and die there.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_01: Because that's where fascism...
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_01: That's where fascism got a bunch of 19-year-old boys.
- 1:03:51SPEAKER_01: They froze to death.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_01: They got frozen to death outside of Stalingrad in the Russian winter
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_01: because nobody's ever read Napoleon's Hit Life before.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_01: They didn't
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_00: read the book.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_01: They didn't read the book, so they tried to do it.
- 1:04:08SPEAKER_01: That's how I feel.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_01: Ultimately, I just...
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_01: I think that we need to get past fantasies.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_01: You have the communist fantasies of the left,
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_01: which we're never going to have a true communist country
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_01: because there is no true communist countries because it didn't work.
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_01: China itself is not a true communist country anymore.
- 1:04:33SPEAKER_01: I actually think China is interesting.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_01: I find...
- 1:04:40SPEAKER_01: I find their story and when I made the post,
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_01: there's been a lot of really interesting posts that kind of explain some of
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_01: the thought processes behind the Chinese Communist Party's modernization and stuff.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_01: And
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_01: then Brian pointed out that the best case for fascism was Francisco Franco,
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_01: which we always talk about here.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah, who wasn't really fascist.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_01: It wasn't really fascist and Spain is a dump today.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_00: He died and it was done.
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_00: He was done.
- 1:05:16SPEAKER_01: He failed.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_01: He failed at passing it on or convincing the people to do it.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_01: You got to have buy-in, man.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_01: You got to have buy-in or else none of it matters.
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_01: It all goes to shit.
- 1:05:27SPEAKER_01: It all completely dies.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_01: I got to find this picture for you, my dude.
- 1:05:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:05:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:05:34SPEAKER_01: So I know you were telling me a bunch of things in the chat the other day
- 1:05:40SPEAKER_01: when we were coming up with notes.
- 1:05:43SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_01: Is race the best rubric by which to judge people in society?
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_00: No.
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_01: I agree with you.
- 1:05:55SPEAKER_00: It's part of it.
- 1:05:56SPEAKER_00: But it's not the bad.
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can't just look at race and be done with it.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_01: And...
- 1:06:04SPEAKER_01: It's ultimately, right?
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_01: Like we want to – yeah, culture is.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_01: Culture is exactly, right?
- 1:06:12SPEAKER_00: Race and culture are – Being civilized.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_01: They're also – they're very close together, right?
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_01: We cannot deny that.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_01: They're very close together.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_01: But – and this is the really key important thing is – When we're in
- 1:06:26SPEAKER_01: a situation like this, the way we are today, we need to be honest about things.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_01: We need to come up with plans to make our communities better, our places better.
- 1:06:34SPEAKER_01: We can be harsh about it.
- 1:06:35SPEAKER_01: We can criticize the systems,
- 1:06:39SPEAKER_01: but we can't just go back to retarded Fed posting because it's dumb.
- 1:06:44SPEAKER_01: It's just dumb.
- 1:06:44SPEAKER_01: I found it.
- 1:06:48SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:06:49SPEAKER_01: Let me send this to you on Facebook.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_01: Telegram, because you'll find it funny.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_01: Tell me if this picture is not just the winning picture of the universe.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_01: I sent it to you.
- 1:07:00SPEAKER_00: I'll look it up.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_00: All right, it's loaded up right now.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_00: I also just dropped,
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_00: you can look at my feed on Substack, but I just dropped the new shut up retard meme.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_00: It's pretty great.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_00: You'll love it.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_00: You'll love it.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_00: You'll love it.
- 1:07:12SPEAKER_00: But that pretty much, I mean,
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_00: I think that's the meme I'm actually going to post,
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_00: because the dude in the picture is Slavic.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_00: So I'm just going to drop that whenever a white supremacist says anything ever
- 1:07:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_00: That is a nuclear bomb, man.
- 1:07:27SPEAKER_00: That is that is unfair.
- 1:07:30SPEAKER_00: That is glasses on looking all smart like your knee.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God, dude.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_00: That was my.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_00: You should start.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_00: You should start an alt account on Substack with that as your profile picture
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_00: because it looks just enough where people won't recognize it.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_00: And then just mog everybody.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_00: Just mog everybody.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_00: All the way.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_01: Just mog all the ways.
- 1:07:56SPEAKER_01: That was like 16 years ago, man.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_01: That was in 2010.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_00: Oh, man.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_00: I should have joined the military and done that.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_00: Instead, I'm just some retarded high school teacher.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_00: That's okay.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_01: That's all right.
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_01: You know what?
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_01: I think that I might join you in becoming a high school teacher.
- 1:08:15SPEAKER_01: Seriously?
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_01: I've been considering it.
- 1:08:18SPEAKER_00: Oh, man.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_00: It would be exciting if we could be colleagues.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_00: Hey, how fun would it be if things didn't work out here or things changed and
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_00: then I move up to South Carolina and we both work at the same school?
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_01: We should all just move to St. Augustine.
- 1:08:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm down.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_00: This is what I've been saying.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_00: Everybody just needs to move to Florida, man.
- 1:08:37SPEAKER_00: Everybody just needs to come down here.
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_00: We'll start.
- 1:08:40SPEAKER_00: We'll begin the North American Imperium right here in Florida.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_00: This is where it begins, right here.
- 1:08:46SPEAKER_01: Just move right back to Florida.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, no, no.
- 1:08:49SPEAKER_00: Guys, delete your account,
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_00: log off,
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_00: move to Florida,
- 1:08:53SPEAKER_00: join me here,
- 1:08:54SPEAKER_00: and we will lead the great conquista,
- 1:08:56SPEAKER_00: the great reconquista of the retarded North American continent.
- 1:09:00SPEAKER_01: Of the continent?
- 1:09:02SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:09:03SPEAKER_01: I'm going to show you guys.
- 1:09:03SPEAKER_01: I'm going to show you guys in a live chat the picture.
- 1:09:05SPEAKER_00: We won't stop until Toronto.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_00: We're not going to stop until Toronto is liberated,
- 1:09:09SPEAKER_00: until the Laurentian elites are tossed into the ocean,
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_00: along with every other piece of shit from...
- 1:09:17SPEAKER_00: The tip of Miami all the way to Seattle.
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_00: All of it.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was thinking about that.
- 1:09:23SPEAKER_01: Did you notice that in David Lynch, like in Twin Peaks, the Canadians are the bad guys.
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_01: David Lynch was ahead of his time.
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_01: He realized Canadians were extra annoying and retarded.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you guys can see it in the chat if it's come up yet.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_00: I'm going to freaking...
- 1:09:42SPEAKER_00: There was a photo that somebody posted earlier.
- 1:09:44SPEAKER_00: It was Ted Kaczynski's...
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_00: Shaq and FBI storage.
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_00: And they were like, there's never been a more Lynchian photo.
- 1:09:51SPEAKER_01: No, no.
- 1:09:51SPEAKER_01: I saw that.
- 1:09:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:09:52SPEAKER_00: That's a classic.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_01: David Lynch, like a creepy fucking thing or whatever.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_01: Such a Shaq.
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_00: That picture is so unfair, man.
- 1:10:04SPEAKER_00: I want to go back in time and tell my young self, just don't.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_00: Just marry a nice lady and settle down right now.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_00: Just stick with that because you're not going to do any better than this guy.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 1:10:14SPEAKER_01: so I think in that picture,
- 1:10:17SPEAKER_01: we did a long patrol to a village and there's all these people.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_01: And every time we went to a village, like...
- 1:10:24SPEAKER_01: The freaking like elders or whatever,
- 1:10:28SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:10:28SPEAKER_01: like the super Haji's were trying to always get like,
- 1:10:31SPEAKER_01: they'd always want us to like drink like this hot ass tea with them.
- 1:10:35SPEAKER_01: But it always invite me and the lieutenant or like the squad leader,
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_01: they're always like, Oh, so I always got drug to like every one of these things.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_01: So like,
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_01: I'm always sitting here with no freaking body armor on no,
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_01: no rifle or anything like that.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_01: And then, like, because, like, they expected me to, like, do all this stuff.
- 1:10:54SPEAKER_01: And I'm, like,
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_01: half the time I was just making shit up because it's,
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_01: like, I'm sitting here and I'm, like, what do you want me to do?
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_01: I don't speak, you know, Farsi.
- 1:11:02SPEAKER_01: And I'm just playing with these kids, you know, like, listen to, you know.
- 1:11:06SPEAKER_01: But I think some, like, combat camera guy was with us and took this picture.
- 1:11:10SPEAKER_01: And I actually almost got in trouble for it because I had some major go,
- 1:11:13SPEAKER_01: hey, man, why weren't you wearing your gloves?
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_01: As in, like, my freaking shooting gloves.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_01: Oh, come on.
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they issued these combat gloves, right?
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_01: And they were like, I was like, weren't you ever wear the gloves, doc?
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_01: I'm like, bro,
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_01: have you ever tried to open medical gear with leather gloves covered in plastic,
- 1:11:34SPEAKER_01: right?
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_01: They got like,
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_01: I'm like,
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_01: I'm like,
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_01: Hey man,
- 1:11:38SPEAKER_01: put on these gloves and do an IV on somebody,
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_01: you know, and start, start a line on somebody and let me know how to go.
- 1:11:44SPEAKER_01: You retard,
- 1:11:45SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:11:45SPEAKER_00: that major should have gotten on the phone with time magazine and been like,
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_00: listen, I have got the shot of the century right here.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 1:11:54SPEAKER_01: Well, here's the thing you
- 1:11:54SPEAKER_00: should have done
- 1:11:55SPEAKER_01: for,
- 1:11:55SPEAKER_01: for you guys have never been in the military, right?
- 1:11:59SPEAKER_01: If you ever like the most realistic Depiction of the military is to this day,
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_01: in my opinion, is still Generation Kill.
- 1:12:09SPEAKER_01: The HBO special that was like 8-10 episodes based on the novel.
- 1:12:15SPEAKER_01: It's based on a Rolling Stone magazine story.
- 1:12:20SPEAKER_01: Actually, the author was a journalist, and I believe he ended up committing suicide.
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_01: But Generation Kill is the most accurate point,
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_01: and it kind of portrays a pretty bad negative picture of a lot of the Marine Corps.
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_01: And I remember when I was in Afghanistan,
- 1:12:36SPEAKER_01: I think it was General Mattis was out there,
- 1:12:38SPEAKER_01: and he was like, I hate that fucking show, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_01: And I was like, dude, why?
- 1:12:42SPEAKER_01: It's accurate.
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_01: Spot on.
- 1:12:46SPEAKER_01: It's spot on.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_01: Like you literally like freaking like took away pay from a guy because he wore
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_01: an American flag bandana.
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_01: Like, like the shit they would do is like exactly that kind of stuff,
- 1:12:59SPEAKER_01: you know, like just like tiresome stuff, you know, the theme.
- 1:13:05SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_01: All right, guys, I think we're good for today.
- 1:13:08SPEAKER_01: I think we hit our topics.
- 1:13:09SPEAKER_01: Got anything else you want to mention, Fisto?
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_00: Anything else I want to mention?
- 1:13:18SPEAKER_00: Oh, so we're getting ready for our first debate.
- 1:13:23SPEAKER_00: We're going to do it next month during homecoming.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_00: We're going to try to make it a little bit of a show.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_00: We're going to try to make a little bit of a show.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_00: But we're debating about preservation and development in our hometown.
- 1:13:37SPEAKER_00: And I'm very excited about it.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_00: I'm very excited about it.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_00: I have this vision.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_00: I have this dream that in my county,
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_00: It'll be just a bunch of 20-somethings running all the government stuff
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_00: because they will have taken my debate class and they will have seized power
- 1:13:51SPEAKER_00: and seized authority.
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_00: And I think the old folks, the boomers, they're kind of like, oh, oh, snap.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_00: I was talking to some of them today telling me the idea is about having them talking
- 1:14:03SPEAKER_00: in front of City Hall and getting involved in local politics and things like this.
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_00: And I think the message, there's a white pill, right?
- 1:14:14SPEAKER_00: There's a white pill.
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_00: Whatever you think about anything that we've discussed here today,
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_00: getting involved locally in doing the unglamorous shit shoveling is how you build
- 1:14:25SPEAKER_00: an empire.
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_00: It's just that's how it has to be done.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_00: That's how it has to be done.
- 1:14:29SPEAKER_00: Someone who's going to have to just do the shit shoveling and they're going to have
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_00: to get a bunch of other people to shovel shit with you too.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_00: And it isn't glamorous and you won't get remembered for it.
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_00: But, you know,
- 1:14:41SPEAKER_00: God willing,
- 1:14:41SPEAKER_00: 20 years from now,
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_00: when I finally die at my desk, I'll just go, yeah, that was pretty great.
- 1:14:46SPEAKER_00: And then that's it.
- 1:14:47SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_00: So it's a bit of a white pill, man.
- 1:14:51SPEAKER_00: It's a bit of a white pill.
- 1:14:52SPEAKER_00: I see what I'm doing here.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_00: I ignore everything that the white supremes tell me, and it just works, man.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_00: It's Todd Howard.
- 1:15:00SPEAKER_00: It just works, man.
- 1:15:02SPEAKER_01: So there you go.
- 1:15:03SPEAKER_01: That's the truth, man.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_01: You have to do things on the local level.
- 1:15:07SPEAKER_01: You got to talk to all those
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_00: people you hate.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_00: You got to talk to all those people you hate, whether you like it or not.
- 1:15:12SPEAKER_00: You got to figure out a way to like them or at least tolerate them and get them
- 1:15:16SPEAKER_00: to do what you want.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_01: You have to.
- 1:15:19SPEAKER_01: I, I, you know, I,
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_01: there's a,
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_01: there's a young guy,
- 1:15:21SPEAKER_01: there's a young guy at my church and he, he's,
- 1:15:25SPEAKER_01: he goes to college out of town and he comes back in the summer and he comes back
- 1:15:30SPEAKER_01: in his family.
- 1:15:31SPEAKER_01: He's from, he's from here, his family was here, but he goes back and forth, you know?
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_01: Um, He's a young guy, like in his early 20s in college.
- 1:15:38SPEAKER_01: And, you know, he wants to get into politics and stuff.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_01: And every time he's down here, he always, like, volunteers for, like, candidates.
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_01: He does, like, all kinds of, like, canvassing and stuff.
- 1:15:48SPEAKER_01: And, you know, he was working for a candidate that, like, I'm not a particular fan of.
- 1:15:53SPEAKER_01: And I was like, oh, man, you like that, dude?
- 1:15:55SPEAKER_01: And he's like, no, not really.
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_01: He's like, actually, I think he's a retard.
- 1:15:58SPEAKER_01: I think he's like a boomer, Gen X retard, you know?
- 1:16:00SPEAKER_01: But, like,
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_01: he's like,
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_01: but I'm actually, like,
- 1:16:03SPEAKER_01: he's like,
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to learn, like, He's like, I'm trying to learn who the voters are.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_01: And he said, most people talk big, but they don't do anything.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_00: They don't vote.
- 1:16:13SPEAKER_00: They don't do anything.
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_01: They don't get involved.
- 1:16:15SPEAKER_00: I had a student today come with that exact same attitude.
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_00: She's asking me.
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_00: She's like, hey, I want to get ready for this debate.
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_00: And I have an idea.
- 1:16:23SPEAKER_00: I think I'm going to go to all the teachers here and ask them what they think.
- 1:16:27SPEAKER_00: She was going to interview everybody she could possibly interview and
- 1:16:30SPEAKER_00: then construct her arguments based on that.
- 1:16:34SPEAKER_00: And I said, that's brilliant.
- 1:16:36SPEAKER_00: And the cruel thing is, I'm not going to tell anyone else in debate club that she's doing this.
- 1:16:40SPEAKER_00: And I want to see what she does when she comes to the debate next week.
- 1:16:42SPEAKER_00: Because I think she's going to wipe the floor with everybody.
- 1:16:46SPEAKER_00: She's like, yeah,
- 1:16:47SPEAKER_00: she's going to be like,
- 1:16:47SPEAKER_00: yeah, I talked to this dude on town council and this is what he said.
- 1:16:51SPEAKER_00: Why didn't you guys talk to the town council?
- 1:16:52SPEAKER_00: Like he works right over there,
- 1:16:54SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:16:55SPEAKER_00: like because everybody's looking up online and,
- 1:16:58SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:16:58SPEAKER_00: talking to their friends and she's actually doing politics,
- 1:17:02SPEAKER_00: just like your boy at church.
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_00: There it is.
- 1:17:04SPEAKER_00: You have to do that.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's go.
- 1:17:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:17:08SPEAKER_01: We can sit here and talk about this stuff forever, but things have to be done, right?
- 1:17:12SPEAKER_01: Art has to be made.
- 1:17:14SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:17:15SPEAKER_01: Lawns have to be mowed.
- 1:17:16SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:17:17SPEAKER_01: It's like you don't like the way – you have guys
- 1:17:20SPEAKER_00: like, I hate all the ugly modern abstract art.
- 1:17:24SPEAKER_00: Okay, cool.
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_00: Make art.
- 1:17:28SPEAKER_01: Then go make some.
- 1:17:29SPEAKER_01: You don't like the novels that are being, make it.
- 1:17:31SPEAKER_01: Go write one.
- 1:17:32SPEAKER_01: You don't like the shows, make them.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 1:17:34SPEAKER_01: You don't like this, make it, right?
- 1:17:35SPEAKER_01: Go make one.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_01: Literally, do it.
- 1:17:37SPEAKER_01: Shut up about it.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_01: Just do things, you know?
- 1:17:40SPEAKER_01: And you know what?
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it's okay.
- 1:17:42SPEAKER_01: It's okay to lose, man.
- 1:17:43SPEAKER_01: But people go like, Oh, like, you know, it's hard.
- 1:17:47SPEAKER_01: It's hard for you to say, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:17:49SPEAKER_01: It's so much harder now as a Gen
- 1:17:50SPEAKER_01: I'm like, listen, dude, like,
- 1:17:51SPEAKER_01: guys like Dostoevsky went to fucking Gulag in Siberia,
- 1:17:55SPEAKER_01: and then he came back, was addicted.
- 1:17:58SPEAKER_01: He literally had epilepsy, man.
- 1:18:00SPEAKER_01: The guy had epileptic seizures,
- 1:18:02SPEAKER_01: probably had TB,
- 1:18:03SPEAKER_01: was a crippled,
- 1:18:04SPEAKER_01: addicted gambler who was broke all his life,
- 1:18:07SPEAKER_01: and he wrote The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment, you know?
- 1:18:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:18:13SPEAKER_01: It can be done.
- 1:18:14SPEAKER_01: Just do it.
- 1:18:16SPEAKER_01: Paint, draw, do something.
- 1:18:20SPEAKER_01: Stop spending time on the internet being a reply guy and a contrarian.
- 1:18:27SPEAKER_01: Alex, I'm talking to myself.
- 1:18:28SPEAKER_01: Stop replying to the reply guys because it's retarded.
- 1:18:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 100%.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_00: If there's anything that millennials can give to the generations coming up,
- 1:18:39SPEAKER_00: it's an excellent object lesson in how to not fucking do it.
- 1:18:43SPEAKER_00: Learn from our mistakes.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_00: Learn from our mistakes.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_00: I mean, I had a student today ask me,
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_00: she was like,
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_00: mister, do you have any advice for, you know, I'm going to be 17 tomorrow.
- 1:18:51SPEAKER_00: She's like, do you have any advice for me?
- 1:18:53SPEAKER_00: I said, get serious sooner.
- 1:18:55SPEAKER_00: Like you can still be young, right?
- 1:18:57SPEAKER_00: You can still do stuff, but find yourself a nice fella.
- 1:19:00SPEAKER_00: Settle down sooner than you think you should.
- 1:19:02SPEAKER_00: Just start doing that stuff immediately because trust me, you'll be glad you did.
- 1:19:06SPEAKER_00: She's like, wow.
- 1:19:07SPEAKER_01: This is not us saying that.
- 1:19:10SPEAKER_01: This is not us saying, pull yourself up from the bootstrap.
- 1:19:13SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, it's not.
- 1:19:15SPEAKER_01: The world sucks.
- 1:19:16SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm a millennial.
- 1:19:18SPEAKER_01: I know it sucks, dude.
- 1:19:19SPEAKER_01: I'm broke.
- 1:19:20SPEAKER_01: I saw it.
- 1:19:23SPEAKER_01: I became an adult during the housing market crash,
- 1:19:28SPEAKER_01: where I was in the military with a bunch of guys with college degrees
- 1:19:33SPEAKER_01: that basically could not find jobs and had to sell their houses and go to make money
- 1:19:38SPEAKER_01: in Afghanistan, basically.
- 1:19:40SPEAKER_01: I know it sucks, and I didn't get much better after that.
- 1:19:46SPEAKER_01: What I'm saying is, yeah, it sucks.
- 1:19:49SPEAKER_01: But what do you want to do about it?
- 1:19:51SPEAKER_01: Like, you're just going to sit and die in the ditch?
- 1:19:53SPEAKER_01: It sucked.
- 1:19:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was better in the past.
- 1:19:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, during the boomer's lifetime when they were coming of age, it was amazing.
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_01: And they could buy a car for like 50 bucks and go to the local,
- 1:20:03SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:20:04SPEAKER_01: soda fountain with their girlfriend and like,
- 1:20:07SPEAKER_01: you know, sip on chocolate or whatever.
- 1:20:09SPEAKER_01: And it was nice and perfect and everything, you know, like whatever.
- 1:20:14SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, sometimes it's great.
- 1:20:15SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it's shitty.
- 1:20:16SPEAKER_01: But Yeah.
- 1:20:17SPEAKER_01: Fucking deal with it, dude.
- 1:20:18SPEAKER_01: You know, it's like, it is what it is.
- 1:20:20SPEAKER_01: We got to do it.
- 1:20:21SPEAKER_01: You know, like, it's one of those things where.
- 1:20:22SPEAKER_01: Go live, baby.
- 1:20:23SPEAKER_01: Just go live.
- 1:20:25SPEAKER_01: So, like,
- 1:20:26SPEAKER_01: it's better than, like,
- 1:20:27SPEAKER_01: becoming some otaku shut-in who, like,
- 1:20:29SPEAKER_01: lives inside your mom's basement until, like,
- 1:20:32SPEAKER_01: you die of starvation from malnutrition from living off of Top Ramen or something,
- 1:20:36SPEAKER_01: you know?
- 1:20:36SPEAKER_01: So, that's the reality of it.
- 1:20:39SPEAKER_01: All right, guys.
- 1:20:39SPEAKER_01: Next week, we are not going to be going on live because I am out of town.
- 1:20:43SPEAKER_01: I'm not out of town.
- 1:20:44SPEAKER_01: I just work late.
- 1:20:45SPEAKER_01: So it's okay.
- 1:20:45SPEAKER_01: So we're going to be gone for one week and we'll be back the following
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_00: week.
- 1:20:49SPEAKER_00: I get the week off.
- 1:20:53SPEAKER_01: So we will come up with a good episode by then.
- 1:20:55SPEAKER_01: Hopefully I've done some stuff.
- 1:20:58SPEAKER_01: I've got a bunch of books to review coming up.
- 1:21:00SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:21:00SPEAKER_01: So we're going to get some book reviews on the side, probably some side episodes.
- 1:21:03SPEAKER_01: A bunch of people are sending me their books.
- 1:21:07SPEAKER_01: I'm finally catching up on reading.
- 1:21:09SPEAKER_00: Oh, did that one kid publish his book?
- 1:21:15SPEAKER_00: He told me to read it a while back.
- 1:21:16SPEAKER_00: I still have it in my email.
- 1:21:18SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:21:21SPEAKER_01: It's coming up.
- 1:21:22SPEAKER_01: It's coming up.
- 1:21:23SPEAKER_01: He's older than us.
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_00: Oh, is he my mistake?
- 1:21:27SPEAKER_00: I thought he was a younger guy.
- 1:21:28SPEAKER_00: My bad.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_00: My bad.
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_01: He's older than us.
- 1:21:31SPEAKER_01: JK.
- 1:21:31SPEAKER_01: No, it is coming up.
- 1:21:34SPEAKER_01: It is coming up.
- 1:21:34SPEAKER_01: It's finishing final edits.
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_01: It's going to be so good.
- 1:21:37SPEAKER_01: But anyways, thank you guys.
- 1:21:39SPEAKER_01: You guys are wonderful tonight.
- 1:21:40SPEAKER_01: And I'm kind of sorry about the more negative episode.
- 1:21:43SPEAKER_01: I hope next week we go,
- 1:21:44SPEAKER_01: or next,
- 1:21:44SPEAKER_01: next week we'll get back to a more lively, fun episode like we were last week.
- 1:21:49SPEAKER_01: Do we ever have Yeah, we do.
- 1:21:51SPEAKER_01: We do have fun, lively episodes all the time.
- 1:21:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, all the time.
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_01: This one ended on a white
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_00: pill, man.
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_00: This one ended on a white pill.
- 1:21:58SPEAKER_00: It's great.
- 1:21:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, look, you've got that picture of you helping that kid.
- 1:22:02SPEAKER_00: Like, think about the sheer amount of tail you scored, right?
- 1:22:06SPEAKER_00: Like, hey, guys, help one little brown kid and you get all the whites, right?
- 1:22:10SPEAKER_00: Am I right?
- 1:22:12SPEAKER_00: Just kidding.
- 1:22:12SPEAKER_00: Just kidding.
- 1:22:12SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:22:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:22:17SPEAKER_00: That's not the takeaway.
- 1:22:18SPEAKER_00: The takeaway is you have to learn how to deal with the people that you hate because
- 1:22:21SPEAKER_00: then actual things occur.
- 1:22:23SPEAKER_00: Then actual things will get done despite yourself.
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_00: That's the thing.
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_00: You got to love your neighbor, man.
- 1:22:28SPEAKER_00: You got to love your enemy and your enemy.
- 1:22:30SPEAKER_00: That's the truth, man.
- 1:22:31SPEAKER_00: That's the guy right there in the house next to you that you don't talk to
- 1:22:34SPEAKER_00: that you refuse to talk to because you're just a shut-in Hikakomori
- 1:22:39SPEAKER_00: who just eats ramen all the time.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:22:42SPEAKER_01: And that's the guy that's going to hopefully come save you if the house is on fire.
- 1:22:46SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_01: It's not going to be your nationalist buddy from across the country.
- 1:22:52SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:22:52SPEAKER_01: It's going to be the guy that lives next door to you.
- 1:22:55SPEAKER_00: 420 XX is not going to save you when your mom gets cancer.
- 1:22:58SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:22:58SPEAKER_00: He's not going to do anything for you.
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:23:01SPEAKER_01: You know, they're going to be like, you know, get good, bro.
- 1:23:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_01: All right, guys.
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_01: 69 420 is not going to help
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_00: you out.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
