- 0:29Audio shared by Testecleese: Welcome to episode 310 of the Jeffrey and Brian Show. I'm Jeffrey.
- 0:33Brian McFadden: I'm Brian.
- 0:35Testecleese: We're just two guys drinking from me to talk about what's going on.
- 0:38Testecleese: Interesting week in the news this week, to say the least.
- 0:43Testecleese: Nothing super exciting.
- 0:47Testecleese: Most exciting thing that happened here was,
- 0:51Testecleese: The valve connecting the hose from my well pump Dude, my house burst.
- 0:58Testecleese: yesterday, and I decided to flood out my basement.
- 1:02Testecleese: So, yeah.
- 1:06Testecleese: That's always a good time.
- 1:08El Guapo: Oh, of course. How far is your local hardware store?
- 1:12Testecleese: 20 minutes, but they didn't have what we needed.
- 1:15El Guapo: Mmm.
- 1:16Testecleese: So we drove 10 minutes, the next closest one. They didn't have what we needed.
- 1:20El Guapo: Damn.
- 1:20Testecleese: So we drove another 10 minutes to the next closest.
- 1:24Brian McFadden: A lot of driving.
- 1:26Brian McFadden: It was, but we picked up Burger King when we were out of town.
- 1:31El Guapo: Well, but here…
- 1:33Testecleese: Fast food!
- 1:36El Guapo: You mean we don't have to kill a male?
- 1:42Testecleese: I mean, there's restaurants, but you're not gonna find fast food out here.
- 1:44El Guapo: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:47Testecleese: Well, yeah, like, the most… the closest,
- 1:51Testecleese: restaurant, you can sit down and have a hot meal is Vicki's. And this woman named Vicki owns and lives in the place.
- 2:00El Guapo: Yeah. I mean, I got the feeling you just wanna… I just wanna grab and go, man, I just don't wanna…
- 2:05El Guapo: Sit around, wait…
- 2:06Testecleese: It's convenient, exactly. But… but it being so far away makes it less likely that we're gonna do that, and we actually prepare a decent meal for our kids, too.
- 2:15Testecleese: Not just stuff our faces with Whoppers, because it's convenient.
- 2:20Testecleese: Let's be real, dude, that… the big… was it, the Big… Big King, or whatever?
- 2:24El Guapo: Mmm.
- 2:25Testecleese: Dude.
- 2:26Testecleese: Things are delicious, but you can hear your arteries hard when you eat that thing, you know?
- 2:30El Guapo: You'll be like, this is for your safe kids? Don't eat this poison!
- 2:33Brian McFadden: I'll eat it for you.
- 2:38Testecleese: It's the grease and oil run down your chin. It's so good!
- 2:43El Guapo: This is bad for you. I'm doing it for you!
- 2:48Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:50El Guapo: Hmm…
- 2:51Testecleese: Oh, this is hilarious.
- 2:54Testecleese: Brian, you brought this up last week, and I'm glad you already have follow-up for it.
- 2:59Brian McFadden: Yep, yep.
- 2:59Testecleese: What's going on?
- 3:01Brian McFadden: Well, people have… are making fun of the DC… DNC staff for being so pissed off that they had to return to the office.
- 3:12Testecleese: We called this, didn't we?
- 3:13Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 3:14Testecleese: Oh, they're all gonna shit their pants, it's not screaming to show up to work.
- 3:19El Guapo: Mmm…
- 3:19Testecleese: Which reminds me, I can't…
- 3:22Testecleese: someone was giving Elon Musk, some former congressman was giving Elon Musk a hard time, I can't remember his name.
- 3:27Testecleese: for, like, allegedly looking at nudie pictures on a plane. This… this is the same congressman that was caught gooning it at a conference call, and didn't realize everyone could watch him. Why not, you know.
- 3:40Testecleese: Polishing his candlestick.
- 3:43Testecleese: Neverham, right?
- 3:44El Guapo: Yup.
- 3:45Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
- 3:47Brian McFadden: He's back on CNN.
- 3:49El Guapo: Oh, that guy. That's not cool.
- 3:51Testecleese: Yeah, that guy.
- 3:52El Guapo: Rupert… Rupert Tubin?
- 3:54Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:55Testecleese: No, yeah, no, it was, you're right, Lubin Toobin was… I remember that, but that's not the name I'm thinking of. Never mind. Maybe I got two stories confused by mistake.
- 4:03El Guapo: So, hold on, hold on, so he was getting upset because Elon Musk was watching nudie pictures on his cell phone.
- 4:09Testecleese: a ledge on a… on a laptop, I guess, I don't know.
- 4:12El Guapo: Was he, was he in.
- 4:14Testecleese: How many people are flying in a plane with Elon Musk?
- 4:16El Guapo: I know, like, it must be private, because…
- 4:19Testecleese: playing commercial, you know what I mean?
- 4:20El Guapo: No, he's not flying commercial, yeah.
- 4:22El Guapo: He's almost about to be a trillionaire. I don't think he would be in the fucking skies with the, like…
- 4:28Testecleese: What do you mean, almost about to be a trillion?
- 4:30Brian McFadden: She is a trillionaire.
- 4:32Testecleese: No, he's not.
- 4:33El Guapo: He's, they just approved his,
- 4:35El Guapo: Tesla just approved him to be… the way they set it up, he's probably gonna become the first trillionaire.
- 4:42Testecleese: No, because… well, I mean, eventually, yes, but that amount of money is split up over, like, 10 years of when
- 4:50Testecleese: age.
- 4:50El Guapo: Yeah.
- 4:51Testecleese: Well, yeah, he might be the first trillionaire, he could be the new Rockefeller.
- 4:55El Guapo: Yeah.
- 4:59El Guapo: But DSC staff were upset because they had to go back to work.
- 5:03Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 5:03Testecleese: Yes, yes, then show up in person.
- 5:05El Guapo: Mmm.
- 5:06Testecleese: And… geez, Dearborn, Michigan has been making the news a lot lately.
- 5:12El Guapo: If you look for news, because then I know we're CNN, or… ABC.
- 5:18Testecleese: True.
- 5:19Testecleese: True. But I guess a bunch of Christians, like, marched through… Dearborn… Doing their, like.
- 5:29Testecleese: Crusades, I guess.
- 5:33Testecleese: Well, it's hilarious. Okay.
- 5:35Testecleese: How much of this article did you read, Brian? Because I almost peed my pants laughing, because, like, they were beating a Quran, right?
- 5:43Brian McFadden: And this is the one they were beating it with bacon?
- 5:47Testecleese: They beat it with bait!
- 5:51Testecleese: going bacon at people, and I was like, oh my god, this is freaking hilarious.
- 5:56El Guapo: Hold on, this is the way fucking, Crusade's gonna go now, Bacon in the air.
- 6:02Testecleese: But yeah, but then you hear, after the call, the prayer, you hear, and a bomb goes off, versus throwing bacon at people and burning Qurans.
- 6:12Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 6:12El Guapo: Oh my god.
- 6:13Testecleese: Don't get me wrong,
- 6:16Testecleese: It's very rude. Whether or not they had a right to do it, because it may have been their property they were destroying with permits.
- 6:24Testecleese: It is rude, but if that's what they gotta… if that's as violent as they're gonna get, I'm okay with that.
- 6:30Brian McFadden: You know what I mean? Assuming the other side only gets that violent.
- 6:34El Guapo: But, I know, do you know, like, there's a lot of girls and friends?
- 6:39El Guapo: They got pet, pig pets now.
- 6:43El Guapo: So the Islam is not bothering them.
- 6:46El Guapo: You're gonna touch…
- 6:47Testecleese: You won't touch them because they're dirty like the pigs.
- 6:50El Guapo: Yeah.
- 6:51Testecleese: Wow, that's…
- 6:53El Guapo: You never see the video yet?
- 6:55Testecleese: No, that's an interesting idea, though.
- 6:57El Guapo: Yeah, they walk around with the pet pigs and stuff, and they're, like, big pigs, too. In France, dude.
- 7:04Testecleese: I'm surprised that France didn't already completely surrender anyway.
- 7:08El Guapo: Dude, the officer, we always have to go back to the rescue, like, what the fuck, man? Man up. I think the last fucking good fucking man in the France, dude, was fuckin' Napoleon, dawg. And he was Italian, kinda.
- 7:21Testecleese: This next one I was gonna put in local, but then I…
- 7:25Testecleese: I remember we talked about this story.
- 7:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 7:30Testecleese: We did, didn't we? The postal worker in Portsmouth?
- 7:33Brian McFadden: I think so.
- 7:35Testecleese: Yeah, and like, he made a bunch of mail disappear.
- 7:38El Guapo: Whoa.
- 7:39Brian McFadden: Apparently, 4,900 pieces of mail.
- 7:41Testecleese: Yeah, it didn't turn out he just didn't want to do his job and, like, toss him in a dumpster behind, like, a restaurant or something.
- 7:49Testecleese: I guess he was… He pled guilty.
- 7:53Testecleese: I was just… I remember we talked about this. Was this during election time?
- 7:57El Guapo: I guess so, I guess he's just by guilty of it, yeah.
- 8:03Testecleese: That might be why we brought it up, was like, I don't know, it's around the same time that we're, you know, we're hearing about bouts showing up at 3 AM and bouts disappearing.
- 8:14El Guapo: Yeah…
- 8:17Testecleese: And this one, I guess a documentary came out. I don't really give a shit, but it's got Newsom and Bass. Hoser with a bunch of firefighters.
- 8:26Testecleese: as, that giant wildfire burned down the Palisades.
- 8:31El Guapo: Yeah.
- 8:33Testecleese: Alright.
- 8:34Testecleese: Someone shared it, so I put it in here.
- 8:40Testecleese: I don't know, I don't think it matters a whole lot what Newsom gets accused of at this point.
- 8:46Brian McFadden: No, he's gonna be the nominee for president.
- 8:48Testecleese: He could well be.
- 8:51El Guapo: Oh, hurt.
- 8:53Testecleese: I've heard… seen rumblings again about, Harris and AOC running.
- 8:57El Guapo: I heard rumblings of fuckin',
- 9:00El Guapo: What's the fuck his name of the… the one that messing with Fan Fang? Running, too.
- 9:05Testecleese: swallow?
- 9:06El Guapo: Yeah.
- 9:07Brian McFadden: He's running for governor.
- 9:09El Guapo: Yeah.
- 9:10El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
- 9:11El Guapo: Governor, yeah.
- 9:13Testecleese: Yeah, and didn't someone just talk a bunch of shit about that in the Democrat Party, too?
- 9:18Testecleese: Katie Porter.
- 9:20El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
- 9:21Brian McFadden: Because she's the frontrunner, isn't she?
- 9:23Testecleese: Yeah, and she's all upset about it now.
- 9:25Testecleese: Which we will definitely get into this. We got a whole topic in here about, like, the civil war that's gonna happen within the Democrat Party with the socialism. Excuse me!
- 9:37Testecleese: Got some, phlegm stuck in my chest here.
- 9:41El Guapo: Talk about crispies and stuff.
- 9:44Brian McFadden: Okay, meet… Putting people on fire?
- 9:46Testecleese: Yeah, well, we didn't mention this last week.
- 9:49El Guapo: No, I just…
- 9:51Testecleese: It had happened. It had happened, but we didn't talk about it. But,
- 9:56Testecleese: the suspect that, well, dude lit a woman on fire on the subway system in Chicago.
- 10:03El Guapo: Yep.
- 10:04Testecleese: He doused her in gas.
- 10:06Testecleese: And then, like, she ran away, you know, good sense to run away, and then he shows up.
- 10:12El Guapo: With something burning.
- 10:14Testecleese: It comes, it ignites her. She's all burned up pretty bad in the hospital.
- 10:17El Guapo: Damn.
- 10:19Testecleese: Yeah, as they were arresting him, I guess he was yelling, I did it, I did it, I did it.
- 10:22El Guapo: Don't nose.
- 10:25Testecleese: Yeah, have fun… have fun in court with that one, dude, right?
- 10:28El Guapo: Yeah.
- 10:29Brian McFadden: He'll plead insanity.
- 10:31El Guapo: Well, he's been arrested, like, 22 times, bro, probably it's gonna be the third. Not gonna get arrested, so…
- 10:38Testecleese: Well, he got arrested, he might not get convicted.
- 10:40Brian McFadden: No, he said, he showed up in court, his first appearance, he's like, yelled, I plead guilty!
- 10:46Testecleese: There you go.
- 10:47Brian McFadden: White counsel, and he's saying over the judge, who ordered an immediate re-mediate medical malovation?
- 10:56El Guapo: Oh my god…
- 10:58Testecleese: Oh, there you go.
- 11:00Testecleese: Huh.
- 11:02El Guapo: Well, I bet she bought it for this too, so… I'm sorry, but…
- 11:06Testecleese: Yeah, let me see if I can't get this,
- 11:10Testecleese: It always takes forever to load any of these things when I…
- 11:14Testecleese: I'm doing this live with you guys, so… here you go, it's…
- 11:17Testecleese: See if you can hear this.
- 11:20Audio shared by Testecleese: Is there something incriminating in the file?
- 11:29Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, you hear it.
- 11:31Testecleese: Okay.
- 11:32Brian McFadden: People are freaking out about him pointing his finger at her and calling Piggy.
- 11:36El Guapo: Good.
- 11:37Testecleese: Yeah, quiet, quiet, Piggy.
- 11:39Testecleese: And I heard people, like, oh, it was, you know, Peggy, and it turns out the woman's name wasn't Peggy, and I heard someone else say it was McGee, and they're like, no, her name's not McGee. Like, what's… why don't we just own it, because…
- 11:50Testecleese: This is what I love about Trump.
- 11:52Testecleese: He's a quiet, biggie, quiet, you know?
- 11:59Testecleese: I'm sure that something's being blown up, abortion, but it did sound like… and this got blown up on the news out of nowhere all of a sudden, too. Like… like, everyone got a phone call once saying, this is the new news story, you know?
- 12:11Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 12:15Testecleese: Alright, well, this next story here, there's a DoorDash driver a while ago. We didn't talk about it on the show, because it didn't seem like it mattered that much.
- 12:24Testecleese: But she had video of her…
- 12:27Testecleese: going into this dude's house, like, delivering something, and he was unconscious on his couch, naked, and she said she was sexually assaulted, and…
- 12:37Testecleese: Holding went down. Turns out he had listed this stuff
- 12:41Testecleese: to, like, a no-contact delivery. She's supposed to leave it on the porch and walk away.
- 12:47Testecleese: And then there's, ring cam footage showing her turning the doorknob and opening the door and just walking to this guy's house. So now, not only has she lost her job.
- 12:56Testecleese: But now she's being charged with, breaking and entering and something else.
- 13:01Testecleese: And publishing nude photos of this guy, nude video of this guy, without his consent to a permit,
- 13:08El Guapo: Well, what was, what was it called out? Revenge porn. There we go.
- 13:11Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, but this was just…
- 13:14Testecleese: She decided to walk into some dude's fucking house, she had no permission to enter. Saw a naked guy, then called, said she was sexually assaulted.
- 13:21Testecleese: Just to show you…
- 13:22El Guapo: That's to show you can't.
- 13:23Brian McFadden: his own couch in his own house. Like, if you can't be naked on your own couch in your own house, where can you be naked? Nowhere.
- 13:30El Guapo: That's to show you a woman cannot follow directions.
- 13:33El Guapo: There you go.
- 13:36El Guapo: Like, dude, the instructor said, just leave it there. If she just left, dude, nothing would have come out of this.
- 13:43Testecleese: Well, I hope this doesn't turn into, because it seems like it happens every…
- 13:47Testecleese: I don't know, 5 to 10 years, where all of a sudden, all the women are accusing every man of some kind of sexual assault again.
- 13:53Brian McFadden: Right.
- 13:54Testecleese: Until it gets to the point where it boils over, and then everyone's had enough, like, even Rose McGowan started talking trash about the Me Too movement last time it rolled through, right?
- 14:03El Guapo: Well, yeah, well, they kinda have a nice thing to keep, but, you know…
- 14:08Testecleese: She was the one who made it, like, a big thing again, wasn't she? With the, weinstein thing?
- 14:14El Guapo: Yeah, well, all of those women, they volunteered to have sex with him. I bet you.
- 14:20Testecleese: Well, that's the thing, man, this fat, greasy, neckbeard guy was like, you're gonna blow me? It's like, does my job depend on it?
- 14:29Testecleese: Nope.
- 14:31El Guapo: And there was the thing about the Weinstein thing, every woman they came across accusing him, they were asking specific, you know, like, what do you feel, what do you remember, stuff like that.
- 14:41El Guapo: And everybody kept… they knew that everybody was lying because he's missing a testicle.
- 14:48Testecleese: Okay.
- 14:49El Guapo: Yeah. I didn't know that. I knew that there was also…
- 14:51Testecleese: There's real stuff happening. Yeah, that's.
- 14:53El Guapo: That's how they knew that there were all the women that came accusing them and stuff, they were lying. And only, like, a few of them came, you know, came through.
- 15:02Testecleese: I'm just saying, if…
- 15:05Testecleese: the guy says, bang me to get the job, I mean, it's not like you had to keep this quiet all this time, like, you know what I mean?
- 15:11El Guapo: Yeah, Ibu Khal knew about it, too.
- 15:16Brian McFadden: Well, the Cleveland Browns are having such a good season, and the Ravens have kind of had a bad season as of late, that you can actually get $6 tickets to an NFL game.
- 15:28Testecleese: They were only 6 bucks for, like, a couple hours, then they went back up to $12.
- 15:33Brian McFadden: Oh, wow, doubling their money.
- 15:35Testecleese: That was the cheap seats. It said, apparently, the lower level seats were selling for, like, 50 to 100 bucks.
- 15:42Brian McFadden: That's insane.
- 15:43Testecleese: I know, but it makes you think you would go to see the game for 6 bucks, you know what I mean?
- 15:48Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 15:50Testecleese: O.
- 15:51Testecleese: If you can't get rid of them for 6 bucks, no one wants to watch your game.
- 15:56Testecleese: And these guys aren't even good enough to be the ones that are, like, cheating for, sports bets. They just… both teams suck. No one wants to go watch the game.
- 16:11Testecleese: teach you here in Harris and Kerr County, got picked up.
- 16:16Testecleese: She's alleged to have slapped an autistic student.
- 16:21El Guapo: Mmm…
- 16:23Testecleese: Yeah, substitute teacher, so…
- 16:27Brian McFadden: You won't be patient anymore.
- 16:28Testecleese: Yeah, no, that career is over no matter what.
- 16:31El Guapo: Yeah.
- 16:33Testecleese: Morrissey has appointed, an attorney in… from Charleston, Virginia… West Virginia.
- 16:40Testecleese: To the Supreme Court.
- 16:42El Guapo: this…
- 16:42Testecleese: Oh, West Virginia. Yeah. Like…
- 16:47Testecleese: March or something, one of the justices died after having only been there for a little while.
- 16:53Testecleese: And they're just now finally, replacing this person.
- 16:57Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 17:00Testecleese: Oh, this is crazy.
- 17:04Testecleese: Guy in Fayetteville.
- 17:06Testecleese: It's two counties over, right?
- 17:08Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 17:10Testecleese: Got busted for, and he's faced charges for…
- 17:16Testecleese: Concealing and essentially disposing of a dead body.
- 17:21Testecleese: He left it on the road, right next to the Gali Bridge, which is a big deal bridge around here. They do bridge stay, well, out there, well, in that area.
- 17:33Testecleese: Yeah, just, like, dumped a thing on the side of the road in, like, one of the ditches on one of the main highways.
- 17:38El Guapo: No.
- 17:39Testecleese: And I was like, well, he probably killed the guy, too.
- 17:42Brian McFadden: Probably. Why?
- 17:43Testecleese: Yeah, but, well, it looks like the guy gave a bunch of drugs, and the dude just died of the drugs, and he, like, disposed of the body instead of, you know…
- 17:52Brian McFadden: Yeah, cause he's probably a drug dealer.
- 17:54Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, and you gave him a bunch of drugs that killed the guy.
- 17:59Testecleese: Which reminds me, you remember a story out of New York we talked about a while ago of, four people living in a house.
- 18:06El Guapo: Oh, they found it guilty.
- 18:07Testecleese: Oh, yes, that they chopped up a human body, and the house was condemned, because everything clogged up with, like.
- 18:13El Guapo: None of the… none of them got life, dude. They got, like, 20 years, 11 years…
- 18:18Testecleese: You're right, none of them got life, but here's the thing is, they…
- 18:22Testecleese: they will let go without bail at first, because then, oh, chopping up your human body is not a bail offense, and everyone's like, what!
- 18:33Testecleese: But Hochul, no, Hochul was on The View defending her point of view on this one.
- 18:39Testecleese: Even Annika Sperin is like, what are you talking about? Is this… is this what we've become?
- 18:43El Guapo: Were you watching the actual Warrior? Justice Warrior?
- 18:46Testecleese: Oh, Justice Warrior, yeah.
- 18:48El Guapo: That's what I was watching, do they do.
- 18:51Testecleese: Yeah, I like his show.
- 18:52El Guapo: Yeah, yeah, he's good.
- 18:53Testecleese: He loves Anna, and it's hilarious.
- 18:56El Guapo: Who doesn't love Anna?
- 18:58El Guapo: It's just funny.
- 18:59Testecleese: She is funny, I disagree with a lot of her points of view, but anyway…
- 19:03El Guapo: Well, would you…
- 19:04Testecleese: She comes around.
- 19:05El Guapo: Yeah, with common sense, they're like, oh no!
- 19:10Testecleese: Yeah, like, when she was sexually assaulted, and like, she got yelled at for being a woman or something like that, and she's like, what, what? No, I don't have a bonus hole, and no, I'm not a birth-giving person, I'm a woman, okay?
- 19:23Brian McFadden: So, meanwhile, in Chesapeake.
- 19:27Testecleese: The cops pulled over a car with.
- 19:31Brian McFadden: expired plates…
- 19:33Brian McFadden: And, they found… 30 grams of Coke, and 2.3 thousand dollars.
- 19:43Brian McFadden: And a couple of loaded guns.
- 19:48Brian McFadden: So…
- 19:48Testecleese: Makes me wonder if this has anything to do with that drug-bust in Panama we just heard about.
- 19:53El Guapo: No, this isn't…
- 19:54Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, if you're gonna be hauling around that much Coke, you probably should have good license plates.
- 19:59El Guapo: Yeah.
- 20:00Testecleese: No, right? If you're gonna be doing something that stupid.
- 20:03Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 20:03Testecleese: Give them no reason to pull you over. And absolutely don't give them a reason to search your fucking car, because you can say no.
- 20:10Brian McFadden: Yeah, because they did say no at first, but the cops smelled something, so they were called in the canine units.
- 20:19Brian McFadden: And the K-9 unit got there and said, there's definitely something going on with this car, so they got searched.
- 20:26Testecleese: we were talking about before, like, what is a dose? And you're like, an 8-ball? Like, holy shit, that's a huge dose! But, like, 1 gram?
- 20:35Testecleese: I don't know, it depends. No one ever sits down and does all their cocaine at once, you know what I mean?
- 20:39El Guapo: Hmm.
- 20:41Testecleese: I don't know, anyone who's ever watched an 80s movie knows that they keep coming back to the mirror with the razor blade and the lines, right?
- 20:49El Guapo: You know?
- 20:50Brian McFadden: I know, well, what about, the, the movie, the gangster movie?
- 20:57El Guapo: Dude, pull six…
- 20:58Testecleese: Our face?
- 20:59Brian McFadden: Yeah, Scarface!
- 21:00El Guapo: Oh.
- 21:01El Guapo: You got a buck.
- 21:02Testecleese: Right before you go find out to die, though, in a gunfight.
- 21:08Testecleese: What a good movie that was.
- 21:09Brian McFadden: Pretty bad one.
- 21:10Testecleese: assholes, because I keep watching movies, because we bring them up on the show. Like, I just rewatched down Periscope.
- 21:16Brian McFadden: I was like, holy crap, bro!
- 21:19Testecleese: Nider was in this, I forgot!
- 21:20El Guapo: Yes!
- 21:23Testecleese: He's the XO who had to walk the plank.
- 21:25Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 21:27Testecleese: Oh my goodness. But yeah, man, I watched it again, I was like, this movie is… Rip Torn, isn't it? William H. Macy?
- 21:37Brian McFadden: So, I got an opinion piece here that.
- 21:40Testecleese: Yeah, which isn't like us.
- 21:42Brian McFadden: is, explaining how bad a choice it was for the Democrats
- 21:48Brian McFadden: to, to elect this new, our first female governor to Virginia.
- 21:54Testecleese: I'd just like to say I read this, like, 3 times, trying to understand something before it occurred to me.
- 21:59Testecleese: that Winsome Sears is the current Lieutenant Governor.
- 22:02Brian McFadden: Yes, sir.
- 22:03Testecleese: And this person isn't saying they're upset that they weren't elected Lieutenant Governor, they're upset that the Lieutenant Governor didn't get elected as governor. Right. Because the longest time, I was like, oh, why didn't they vote for Lieutenant Governor, you know, Winsome?
- 22:16Brian McFadden: To be fair, I've heard several critiques about Winsome Sears, and I don't know how seriously she took the campaign, because she didn't hire a hairstylist.
- 22:27Brian McFadden: Every campaign event you saw her on, every video, every commercial, her hair was a mess. It looked like World War III hit it.
- 22:36El Guapo: Yeah.
- 22:37Testecleese: He's Jamaican.
- 22:38Brian McFadden: You know what?
- 22:40Brian McFadden: Spend a little time on your hair!
- 22:42Testecleese: So maybe Big Mike Obama was right when, when she said that,
- 22:48Testecleese: God's bitch you ever showed up in public wearing braids. Natural braids.
- 22:54El Guapo: Well, yeah, because I raised a debit card without both of you.
- 22:59Testecleese: I guess so.
- 23:00El Guapo: Yeah.
- 23:01Brian McFadden: And, and Spanberger has no actual qualifications to delete a state.
- 23:07El Guapo: No, it's.
- 23:08Brian McFadden: She was in the house… the Virginia…
- 23:13Brian McFadden: She was a vision… she was in the House of Representatives, I believe, for Virginia, and that's as high as she's gotten, and she worked for the CIA.
- 23:21El Guapo: Yeah, oh, then the cop training in the cop thing? She was a postal fucking police person.
- 23:28Testecleese: I've, I've interacted with them.
- 23:30El Guapo: Yeah.
- 23:32Testecleese: Yeah, the Mercury incident.
- 23:35El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
- 23:37Testecleese: You guys are.
- 23:37El Guapo: Probably you met her.
- 23:38El Guapo: Probably met her, because…
- 23:40Testecleese: Maybe. That might have been who I talked to. No, it was definitely… well, I wasn't talking to the person in charge.
- 23:45El Guapo: Mmm.
- 23:46Testecleese: Definitely a dude I was talking to on the phone.
- 23:49El Guapo: Yeah.
- 23:50El Guapo: No, but what this is about for basically, like, oh, they're having an infighting right now because the Democrats…
- 23:57El Guapo: Because a couple, they want to eliminate right to work, and the other half of Democrats, like, no, we don't want to get rid of that.
- 24:04Brian McFadden: Well, they've already come out and said they're gonna try to raise the minimum wage.
- 24:08El Guapo: Oh, that won'.
- 24:09Brian McFadden: All kinds of socialist things.
- 24:10El Guapo: I got, like, they want to raise it to $15 an hour, why stop there?
- 24:16El Guapo: Bump it up.
- 24:16Testecleese: Why not 25?
- 24:18El Guapo: 30 bucks, fuck it, you know?
- 24:20Testecleese: Why not 100?
- 24:21El Guapo: I want a living wage, okay? I want a living wage.
- 24:24Testecleese: I wanna be able to take a vacation once a year, too, okay?
- 24:27El Guapo: Yeah, I need a BMW, you know?
- 24:31Testecleese: So what if I want to work 12 hours a week, and… you know?
- 24:37El Guapo: Yeah.
- 24:37Brian McFadden: And we're from home those 12 hours a week.
- 24:40El Guapo: Yeah, that's a truck driver.
- 24:43Brian McFadden: A work-from-home truck driver.
- 24:48Testecleese: Cyber Instinct.
- 24:49Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 24:50Testecleese: uses a.
- 24:51Brian McFadden: He's a drone, he's using the drones.
- 24:54El Guapo: Mmm.
- 24:55Brian McFadden: Drone pilot.
- 24:56El Guapo: Nope.
- 24:58El Guapo: I already got the headset.
- 25:00Testecleese: There you go.
- 25:01Testecleese: Okay, I couldn't read this article, because it was, like, your local subscription.
- 25:07El Guapo: Mmm… But…
- 25:08Testecleese: Apparently, there's some home construction going on in Fairfax.
- 25:13El Guapo: Oh, yes, yes. They put a 3-plant…
- 25:17El Guapo: Three-floor building next to the houses.
- 25:21El Guapo: And there's no fucking regulation for the… there's no building code.
- 25:27El Guapo: So they took advantage of that, and people are fucking upset about this thing.
- 25:32Testecleese: No, that's alright. This… I tried to read an article, but there was no article. There's, like, two lines, and there's a video, right?
- 25:39El Guapo: Yeah.
- 25:40Testecleese: Yeah, everyone was all upset about them, like, building, like, a set of townhouses attached to their house.
- 25:44El Guapo: Yes, for the extended family.
- 25:48El Guapo: You know, I was like, it does a…
- 25:50Testecleese: was enormous.
- 25:51El Guapo: I wanna know who approved this shit. I mean, I don't care. This is, like, you know what? This is a tense.
- 25:58El Guapo: I hate sometimes regulation, but sometimes you need fucking regulation.
- 26:01Brian McFadden: Well, you know that home is not part of an HOA.
- 26:04El Guapo: No, no, no, that city. The city should have been, like, hey, like, no, I don't think this…
- 26:09Brian McFadden: The HOA definitely would have shot that thing down.
- 26:12El Guapo: Oh yeah, but still, the city had to approve it.
- 26:16El Guapo: You can't just build anything, the city had to prove it. They had to look at the fucking, okay, what do you want to build? Where? How far from the other… Then you get.
- 26:26Testecleese: That's… yeah, I was right up next to the neighbor's house, too, right? Yeah.
- 26:29El Guapo: Yeah, and this is what you, like…
- 26:32El Guapo: the neighbors, I should be suing the fucking city, because they don't fuck up. They didn't, like, do, like, their due diligence, like, to approve this, you know?
- 26:42El Guapo: Hold on, you wanna build a three-story… where? You know, it's like…
- 26:47El Guapo: It's just… I don't know. I mean, I'm not up… I'm just upset, but I don't care, because they want it… they want this shit, you know?
- 26:59El Guapo: I would be irritated if that shit happened to me, like, you fucking got your house, and somebody built a 3-story building, you know?
- 27:07Testecleese: Well, that's what you get for having your house right on the edge of the property line, too, so if someone else builds their house out, it's right up against yours.
- 27:13El Guapo: Yeah, yeah, well, dude, like, there's these fucking lots in here, dude, like, they're trying to squeeze everything they can next to the other houses and shit, you know?
- 27:23Testecleese: Yeah.
- 27:25Testecleese: That's why I've been looking at buying up lots of land here.
- 27:29Testecleese: And I was excited for a little… for a minute, I was thinking that this 50-year mortgage thing could do it, but then Brian's like, you only save, like, 100 bucks a month, but now you have to pay for an extra 20 years. It's like, oh, that seems ridiculous.
- 27:40Brian McFadden: It is ridiculous.
- 27:46Testecleese: I'm always thinking about gonna pay… Two-thirds as much.
- 27:49Testecleese: on land.
- 27:51Testecleese: Even if I wasn't gonna keep it, if I sold it, the value of the land itself would have gone up in that much time.
- 27:56Testecleese: To make only paying two-thirds payments for a couple years, you know, worth that investment.
- 28:03Testecleese: Wow.
- 28:04Testecleese: Whatever.
- 28:08Testecleese: Alright, you guys got some from Kempsville High School, too, I guess.
- 28:12Testecleese: Isn't that in the Hampton Roads area?
- 28:14Brian McFadden: Yeah. It's assistant principal, and the brother were arrested for threats against ICE and law enforcement.
- 28:22Testecleese: Okay.
- 28:24El Guapo: It's a big deal. Everybody's making a big deal about this in this area now. Every time I pop in my Facebook…
- 28:31Testecleese: Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry.
- 28:32El Guapo: No, no, just, I'm saying, I just keep popping left and right, you know?
- 28:37Testecleese: Well, that's the thing is, don't threaten law enforcement enough, especially not federal agents, okay? They're not just gonna look the other way.
- 28:44Testecleese: And that's the problem is this guy works at a fucking school, so he thinks he can just be the tough guy and run his mouth and nothing's gonna happen.
- 28:51El Guapo: But I say, like, this is a federal law, dude, they don't fucking understand it, dude, this… how brainwashed they were… they are, after all this year, like, they fucking… immigration was everywhere, like, in the 80s and 90s, dude. I remember jokes about it, fucking La Migra, and everybody's fucking running because, you know, you're gonna get arrested.
- 29:11El Guapo: This is not fucking new, this is like… You know?
- 29:15El Guapo: Since Obama… I remember… dude, I remember when Obama was in office.
- 29:20El Guapo: People were running from the La Migra in New York City, dude.
- 29:24El Guapo: New York fucking city.
- 29:27Testecleese: Okay.
- 29:28El Guapo: And now they're making a big deal, like, it's a fucking, you know, they're scared of…
- 29:33El Guapo: They brainwashed the shit out of all these people, man. I'm just… I'm just… I'm shocked, dude.
- 29:42Testecleese: Alright, oh, yeah.
- 29:48Testecleese: This Epstein crap, man, we've been making an effort to try to stay out of this for a while, because it didn't seem to actually be going anywhere.
- 29:54Testecleese: But… A bunch of emails came out, I guess, or got leaked or something.
- 30:00Testecleese: And it looks like it's blown up hardcore on the Democrats.
- 30:04Testecleese: And… And I guess Trump's actually…
- 30:09Testecleese: told the Republican congressmembers, which bothers me that that's how these guys are casting their votes.
- 30:16Testecleese: Told them to go ahead and devote to release these files.
- 30:22Testecleese: wolf, I can't remember the guy's first name. A guy from CNN that went on to write a book about how much he hates Trump.
- 30:29Testecleese: have been in communications with Epstein about how to smear Trump.
- 30:35El Guapo: Blue blister… blister?
- 30:39Testecleese: No, not Wolf Blitzer. Something Wolf.
- 30:41El Guapo: Okay.
- 30:43Testecleese: some Democrat, congresswoman, I guess?
- 30:50Testecleese: Was it the congresswoman?
- 30:53Testecleese: was in, she was prosecuting… no, no, she was… I think she was running for office against Trump.
- 30:59El Guapo: Planski?
- 31:00Testecleese: Yeah, what's the deal with her?
- 31:02El Guapo: Oh, she was getting a text message from fucking Epstein while she was having the hearing against Trump.
- 31:09Testecleese: That's right, she was… she was getting advice from Epstein on how to question Cohen.
- 31:15El Guapo: Yeah.
- 31:18Testecleese: Yeah, and then it was funny, because at first you said, nobody knew who he was at the time.
- 31:24Testecleese: And it's like, this was in 2019. He killed… allegedly killed himself in 2019.
- 31:30Testecleese: So, like… We all knew who this guy was by this point, you know?
- 31:35El Guapo: Yeah.
- 31:38Testecleese: And then, shoot, you see the Crockett crap?
- 31:42El Guapo: The Crocker crockett? Oh, that one, the fuckin', the house. No, the Speaker of the house, but the…
- 31:48El Guapo: the lead of the Democrats fucking line his ass off, too.
- 31:53Testecleese: Well, she came out and accused a whole bunch of people of taking money from Epstein.
- 31:59El Guapo: Oh, that's right.
- 32:00Testecleese: to go. All these people, and Lee Zeldin's on the list, they're…
- 32:05Testecleese: I all took money from a man named Jeffrey Epstein. And they all came back, and I was like, yeah, it's this doctor out of Maryland, or whatever, and this is what he does, and then she was like, question mark, she's like, that's why I said a man named it. I didn't say it was the same Jeffrey Epstein. She's like, bitch, come on! You really think people are that dumb not to see what you were trying to do there?
- 32:22El Guapo: Yeah, they're done. They're both Democrats.
- 32:26Testecleese: But you had to at least understand she was trying to mislead people, even if.
- 32:29El Guapo: And isn't she gonna be successful about it, dude?
- 32:33El Guapo: Come on, dude, just, don't give no hopes to these Democrats, it's just gonna keep voting for her, dude.
- 32:39Testecleese: not even… but yeah, that's what I'm saying, though, is like, even if you agree with what they're doing, you have to recognize that they…
- 32:46Testecleese: Did not mislead you.
- 32:48El Guapo: They're not going through fuckin'.
- 32:49Testecleese: grab it.
- 32:49El Guapo: They don't want to be seen like fools, you know?
- 32:54Testecleese: Well, technically speaking, technically speaking… Anytime, not technically speaking, the actual fucking law is carried out, they lose their goddamn minds. And now they're like, well, technically speaking, oh, come on.
- 33:06Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 33:11Testecleese: Oh yeah, and then the Democrat, what's it, Plaskett there? She avoids censure from the House, but… so fucking what? Apparently that doesn't matter.
- 33:19El Guapo: Yeah.
- 33:20Brian McFadden: Well, they… they worked out a deal so that they thought the Dens would pull the… the complaint they have against the Republicans, so…
- 33:30El Guapo: Oh, which one was this they were talking about?
- 33:34Testecleese: I don't care.
- 33:36Testecleese: But… but these… oh, I don't care who…
- 33:38Brian McFadden: This is all part of the backroom deals that go on all the time.
- 33:41Testecleese: Well, what's a censure? It's a stern talking to?
- 33:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, I understand.
- 33:45Testecleese: They tried to do this shit.
- 33:47Brian McFadden: Well, they were gonna… but also, a lot of times when you get censored, you might lose your committee positions, too.
- 33:53Testecleese: Oh, like what just happened with,
- 33:55Testecleese: what they tried to do with, Crenshaw.
- 33:59El Guapo: Oh, the…
- 34:01Testecleese: He's got international…
- 34:03Testecleese: ban, he can't fly anywhere for business, for work, for, like, 4 months, and they tried to strip him of his committees.
- 34:10El Guapo: You know why, no.
- 34:12Testecleese: Because he laughed at a joke, basically, that someone made overseas when he was.
- 34:16El Guapo: Oh, yeah, he was… I heard about he was drunk, but I don't know about this as a joke.
- 34:21Testecleese: Yeah, that's what it was. Someone made an inappropriate joke, he laughed, and a woman got offended, and then they're trying to, like, take away.
- 34:27El Guapo: Every fucking Democrat's gonna get offended, no matter what, so what the fuck, man?
- 34:32Testecleese: It was in Mexico, so I'm sure it was a little racier than your typical get-offended joke here.
- 34:39El Guapo: Well, fucking Mexicans are racist, they're worse, dude.
- 34:43Testecleese: Ryan's got something for us here.
- 34:46Audio shared by Brian McFadden: why wouldn't they have been released the last 4 years when President Biden was in office? Well, that's the question every American is asking. Well, not every American, but so many Americans are asking. What the hell is he hiding?
- 34:58Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Why doesn't he want them released? When you don't want something like that that's released when even a whole lot of Republicans are calling for the release, his own party members, people ask the question, what's he hiding?
- 35:08Audio shared by Brian McFadden: It's gotta be answered by releasing the files.
- 35:12Brian McFadden: Like, the question was.
- 35:14Testecleese: Why didn't Biden release this stuff?
- 35:17Brian McFadden: Yeah, and he didn't catch that.
- 35:20Brian McFadden: It's too stupid.
- 35:23Brian McFadden: Man, he looks old in that video.
- 35:25Testecleese: He does.
- 35:27Testecleese: But that's a question that the Democrats don't want to answer in general.
- 35:31Brian McFadden: No. Because Biden had… they had control of all…
- 35:36Brian McFadden: three… they had the House, the Senate, and the President for numerous years that they could have released it, you know? They're just trying to drag Trump through the mud, mud, mud.
- 35:47Testecleese: Yeah, and if there was anything there, they would have. And you know it. They at least would have released that part.
- 35:52Brian McFadden: This is gonna be a whole lot of nothing, you know.
- 35:55Testecleese: No, I think we're gonna see more evidence of more Democrats colluding with Epstein to try to ruin Trump's reputation, because Trump wouldn't diddle the kids.
- 36:07Testecleese: And that's what most of the stuff that I saw, right? It's like, this ain't how Epstein thinks Trump doesn't have a good cell in his body, and he can't get on board. I'm like, that's a good sign when the pedophile doesn't want to be your friend, right?
- 36:20Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 36:21El Guapo: But they don't take it that way.
- 36:23Testecleese: Oh, you said he's a bad guy, it must be true. Like, he's a…
- 36:26Testecleese: What! You're agreeing with the child's pimp here.
- 36:33Testecleese: Alright, so I guess this MSNBC thing has happened, or…
- 36:37Brian McFadden: Yeah, it already happened, yeah. It happened on the 15th.
- 36:40Testecleese: From MSDNC to BS now?
- 36:45El Guapo: MS now.
- 36:47Testecleese: I'm sorry.
- 36:48El Guapo: Be it bullshit now.
- 36:52Brian McFadden: It's got the same spin, a new name, and $20 million price tag.
- 36:59Testecleese: it's mad out over there?
- 37:03Testecleese: That's where she.
- 37:04Brian McFadden: Pretty late.
- 37:05Brian McFadden: One day a month.
- 37:07Testecleese: Man, she's still getting… Like, $35 million a year to do…
- 37:14Brian McFadden: One show a month. I don't even think it's a week, is it? Is it weekly or monthly?
- 37:18Testecleese: I don't know, I don't follow…
- 37:19Brian McFadden: It might be weekly, you're right.
- 37:20Testecleese: I'm seeing her far less now, in…
- 37:23Brian McFadden: Stop coming out. I mean…
- 37:25Brian McFadden: nobody watches MSNBC or MS Now, you know, it's… it's… I mean, I heard… I've heard so many different acronyms for this MS Now. Nobody watches Now, you know…
- 37:42Brian McFadden: There's a million of these jokes running around, so…
- 37:47Testecleese: Well, I mean, they could only prop up the Dems so long before it became obvious that they're not putting news out, and people just stopped watching altogether.
- 37:55Brian McFadden: Well, I think NBC wanted to, wash their hands of this fiasco.
- 38:02Testecleese: Yes.
- 38:04Testecleese: Yes. But they still… Do they still own the company?
- 38:10Testecleese: what did Paramount or something like that buy, or something weird.
- 38:13Brian McFadden: I don't think Paramount owns this business. Paramount is CBS, so they're not gonna own NBC or MSNBC.
- 38:20Testecleese: Not exactly did they buy it, but…
- 38:22Brian McFadden: Let me look it up.
- 38:24Testecleese: Yeah, I'm not sure. I just thought maybe someone had bought it and didn't want… and that was a part of it too, maybe not.
- 38:29Testecleese: Maybe it's just the parent company that owns both of them didn't want it to be.
- 38:32El Guapo: No, I used to be Microsoft and MSNBC.
- 38:36Brian McFadden: Yeah, NBC took it all over. It's now owned by NBC Universal, it's a subsidiary of Comcast.
- 38:45El Guapo: Yeah.
- 38:45Testecleese: There you go.
- 38:46Brian McFadden: Okay, I bought everything.
- 38:50Brian McFadden: But they wanna, like… I don't know what they want to do. I mean…
- 38:54Brian McFadden: Nobody watches it, I don't know how they stay in business.
- 38:58Brian McFadden: Well, they stay in business because they're on everybody's cable channels, and the cable companies are forced to pay them for having it on their cable channels, so…
- 39:06El Guapo: It's owned by Costco.
- 39:08Brian McFadden: Comcast.
- 39:09Testecleese: That's how CV, CNN lasted so long.
- 39:12Brian McFadden: Oh, they had the airport.
- 39:13Testecleese: so long.
- 39:14Brian McFadden: They were paying… they were paying people to watch… they were paying airports to… broadcast CNN in the airport.
- 39:21Testecleese: Yeah, they're like.
- 39:22Brian McFadden: They were actually paying for that.
- 39:23Testecleese: You're making…
- 39:24Brian McFadden: They weren't actually making money off of that. The only way they're making money is they could tell their advertisers, we have this captive audience in all the American airports.
- 39:33Testecleese: All airports have to watch our garbage. And then the… the…
- 39:38Testecleese: Advertisers are like, alright, so we have to make it obvious what this is.
- 39:43Testecleese: Because there's no sound.
- 39:45Testecleese: Let's have two old people in bathtubs in a meadow. That'll let you know what this product is for.
- 39:52Brian McFadden: in your home.
- 39:57Testecleese: Alright, so…
- 39:59Testecleese: An anti-Semitic mob, is what they're calling it, descended upon, some historic synagogue in New York.
- 40:05El Guapo: Mmm.
- 40:07El Guapo: while there… some Zionist organization that's looking to return people to Israel.
- 40:13Testecleese: But these people were threatening death and, like, kill another settler and all this other stuff.
- 40:18Brian McFadden: That's going too far.
- 40:20Testecleese: Oh, dear God, man.
- 40:22Testecleese: Well, the Muslim doesn't even take office yet, and we're already, getting ready to exterminate the Jews?
- 40:29Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
- 40:33Testecleese: I don't know, man. I don't know what's gonna happen in New York. His $9 billion tax plan.
- 40:43Testecleese: What is it? He wants to increase taxes on the ultra-wealthy to get $4 billion of this money, then the other $5 billion by increasing
- 40:51Testecleese: corporate taxes, so… Basically, anyone who's making money in New York is trying to get out.
- 41:02Testecleese: We've been… we've been talking about this since Mom Donnie even started running, because, like, this is what's gonna happen.
- 41:08Testecleese: You know, like, we need Kurt Russell to help us escape from New York.
- 41:12Brian McFadden: Oh, that was a good movie, too.
- 41:14Testecleese: Yes, it was.
- 41:16Testecleese: With his eyepatch.
- 41:18Brian McFadden: Yeah, that iPad's just ridiculous.
- 41:24Testecleese: Yes, but it wouldn't be Kurt Russell if it wasn't ridiculous.
- 41:28Testecleese: It's funny, I mentioned that movie to the wife the other day.
- 41:32Testecleese: And she's like, I don't know. I'm like, Kurt Russell? She's like, I don't know, I…
- 41:35Testecleese: what was Kurt Russell in? And I was like, oh my god.
- 41:38Brian McFadden: The only movie she could come up with was Overboard.
- 41:43El Guapo: That was a good one.
- 41:43Brian McFadden: It wasn't good.
- 41:45Testecleese: She goes, yeah, but they remade it, and they've ruined it, because they did it the other way around. I was like, oh, of course they did.
- 41:52Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 41:54Testecleese: Overboard is a great flick, though. Was that Goldeon?
- 41:57Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 41:58Testecleese: Yeah, wow.
- 42:01Testecleese: Alright, wow, we go way off topic on that one.
- 42:04El Guapo: Did he… was he a captain… captain something, too? In the sailboat?
- 42:08Brian McFadden: Ron?
- 42:09El Guapo: Captain.
- 42:09Testecleese: Oh my god, yeah, I can't get me wrong. Yeah, watch out for the gorillas. If there's no gorillas inside.
- 42:15El Guapo: South America?
- 42:17Testecleese: specifically a goat gorilla. It's, like, a guy in camouflage with an automatic rifle.
- 42:25Testecleese: Wow, dude, I cannot believe I just remembered a…
- 42:30Testecleese: Captain Ron frickin' scene, that… I haven't seen that movie since I was probably a teenager.
- 42:35El Guapo: Yeah, that was a good movie, too.
- 42:37El Guapo: He was at the, Athletics?
- 42:40El Guapo: It's a cruise ship to get hit by a road wave.
- 42:44El Guapo: The ship caps, capsized.
- 42:48El Guapo: He had to escape and stuff, or…
- 42:51Testecleese: Okay, see, he died a couple years ago, didn't he?
- 42:54El Guapo: Oh, he's still alive.
- 42:56Testecleese: he died.
- 42:57El Guapo: You know, he's a lot. He did the fucking, Quento Guarantino movie, too, that that… That's something…
- 43:05Testecleese: Swayze that died?
- 43:07Brian McFadden: Yeah, Patrick Soisi died.
- 43:08El Guapo: My pleasure.
- 43:09Testecleese: Okay, because they sit around the same time with the big, fruity hair.
- 43:14Brian McFadden: So, the mayor-elect in New York City has got a $9 billion tax plan that's
- 43:21Brian McFadden: freaking out Wall Street and creating more of an exodus from the wealthy New Yorkers, which we alluded to earlier. And early on in this campaign, Kathy Hochul said she wouldn't support raising the taxes on them, but…
- 43:36Testecleese: Does she get a say on city taxes?
- 43:40Brian McFadden: Well, she has to… I think, in order to raise the taxes, it has to go through the… the… the state.
- 43:49Testecleese: Why?
- 43:51Brian McFadden: Well, because I don't think he just wants to raise city taxes, I think he wants to raise state taxes, too.
- 43:57Testecleese: Well, how is raising state tax gonna help New York City?
- 44:01Brian McFadden: Because where do you think most of New York City's money comes from? From the state?
- 44:07Testecleese: I doubt that. I bet most of it comes from the city itself. I bet… well, actually, I know as a fact that 1.5% of New York City residents fund one-third of New York State.
- 44:20Brian McFadden: He also wants a corporate tax. He also wants a corporate tax rate.
- 44:26Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, that's supposed to bring the other $5 billion.
- 44:30Brian McFadden: It's gotta come from the state.
- 44:32Testecleese: I don't know. Judge New York City, I think…
- 44:35Brian McFadden: The article here…
- 44:37Brian McFadden: And that would have to come from the state. He can raise the city-tate, which right now, the current…
- 44:44Brian McFadden: top rate for the city is 3.9, he wants to raise it up to 5.9%.
- 44:51Testecleese: Yeah, which would…
- 44:52Brian McFadden: The rate between the city and the state rate of 16% taxes.
- 44:57Testecleese: Dear God, that's before… that's not come federal tax!
- 45:00Brian McFadden: No!
- 45:01Testecleese: And that's his income tax, right?
- 45:03Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 45:04Testecleese: So that much, what, 16%?
- 45:08Testecleese: Just state and city, then federal tax. And now, do you own property?
- 45:14Testecleese: like, are you paying a property tax? I don't know, does New York City charge… what Massachusetts, we call it an excise tax, they… they charge you for owning a vehicle.
- 45:25Brian McFadden: I don't know, I don't know if they do it. I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, they tried to charge you to drive into Manhattan, you know, at one point.
- 45:33Testecleese: Yeah. Yeah.
- 45:36Testecleese: It still blows my mind, Massachusetts, they called it an excise tax.
- 45:40Testecleese: Well…
- 45:41Brian McFadden: Band Island is, they are trying to, trying to depart New York City once again.
- 45:49Testecleese: Well, technically the same as last time.
- 45:53Testecleese: Okay, I guess in the 40s this was brought up, and shut down.
- 45:59Testecleese: And then it came back up in, like, 1994, I think?
- 46:02Brian McFadden: It'll be shut down again, because…
- 46:04Testecleese: Wow. The issue was in 94, they brought it up.
- 46:08Testecleese: with a vote, Passed it on to the state, this, or the city.
- 46:13Brian McFadden: And the city said no.
- 46:15Testecleese: The city didn't even say no, they refused to even have a vote on it.
- 46:18Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 46:19Testecleese: So technically, it's still sitting there, they're… Refiling the same, motion.
- 46:27Testecleese: That will not help New York City's tax plan.
- 46:31Brian McFadden: No, because a lot of people live in Staten Island, That pay taxes.
- 46:36Testecleese: Now, what will happen to Staten Island? Will it become its own city, I guess?
- 46:39Brian McFadden: Yeah, I'd have to.
- 46:41Testecleese: Interesting, because there's a… several counties in Virginia and Maryland, apparently, Which I…
- 46:50Brian McFadden: Technically, I guess you could call it a county, you know, it wouldn't have to be necessarily a city, you know, but…
- 46:55Testecleese: No, I'm saying there's several count… there's several counties from… in Virginia and in Maryland that want to leave
- 47:03Testecleese: Virginia and Maryland, respectively.
- 47:05Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 47:06Testecleese: and have been… they're actually filing paperwork to leave and try to become part of West Virginia.
- 47:13Testecleese: I thought that was kind of neat.
- 47:15Brian McFadden: Yeah, hopefully you get Fairfax County.
- 47:18Testecleese: Yeah, yeah. I'm sure they want to be West Virginia. Oh, dear God, they might kill themselves at the thought of it.
- 47:25Brian McFadden: That would be good for everybody.
- 47:28Testecleese: I almost shared a story today, a local story, but it requires knowledge, but…
- 47:33Testecleese: Apparently, 5 years ago, someone released a documentary about the most inbred family in the United States.
- 47:40Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 47:41Testecleese: And yes, it's… Right here in West Virginia.
- 47:45Testecleese: But the new local news part of it would have been that, like, a 47-year-old and a 43-year-old are taken
- 47:54Testecleese: Into, like, protective custody.
- 47:57Testecleese: Because they could only speak in, like, grunts and growls. I was like, what the fuck?
- 48:02Testecleese: Middle of nowhere, Woodsville, in a city called… a town called Odd. Go figure.
- 48:09Testecleese: And I was like, oh… and of course, they had the name Whitaker was their name.
- 48:13Testecleese: And I was like, geez.
- 48:15Testecleese: There's a Whitaker name lineage in my family, and even the wife's family, which is… yes, we made sure to make sure they were not the same lineage.
- 48:24Testecleese: We're like, Whitaker is just popular enough name.
- 48:27Testecleese: that you might have Whitaker lineage, or know someone who does, but not so common that it's brushed off like Smith or Johnson, you know?
- 48:38Brian McFadden: We have an update on the.
- 48:40Testecleese: You're thinking, oh, who, Whitaker? Forrest Whitaker, right there is one that we've all heard of.
- 48:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah. Do we have an update on Trump meeting with Madani today?
- 48:48Testecleese: I do, it's the next one down, actually, and it's freaking hilarious. Trump…
- 48:54Testecleese: They both basically kissed each other's asses.
- 48:57Brian McFadden: Yeah, he said he'd be a great mayor, he'd be a great mayor.
- 49:00Testecleese: he congratulated him, he said, you know, you're gonna go do good things. And that's the thing is, if you kiss Trump's ass a little bit, he'll kiss your ass right back.
- 49:08Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 49:09Testecleese: Like, why start a fight with this guy?
- 49:13Testecleese: But yeah, not much else got said.
- 49:15Testecleese: That was… that was today. I went and looked…
- 49:18Testecleese: for that story, actually, after I was, reorganizing everything, and I was like, oh crap, that was supposed to happen today, I better find out what happened.
- 49:25Brian McFadden: Right.
- 49:29Testecleese: Seattle elected socialist.
- 49:33Brian McFadden: Sure did.
- 49:36Brian McFadden: But she took her parents' money during the campaign to live on.
- 49:42Testecleese: It's funny, because when I first read this headline, I thought they were upset that you were taking donations from people that had kids.
- 49:49Brian McFadden: No, her own parents.
- 49:51Testecleese: she defends taking parents' money, and I was like, what? And I read the article…
- 49:54Brian McFadden: She said now she can afford to live now on the mayor's salary in Seattle.
- 50:00Testecleese: He's the socialist, who's now that she's doing better, has a better job, can now afford to live without her parents supporting her.
- 50:08Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, you do the math on that one.
- 50:11Testecleese: Isn't this exactly the opposite of what socialism believes in?
- 50:14Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 50:17Testecleese: Oh, God.
- 50:19Testecleese: I think we're gonna have a real issue with these socialists, dude. I think we're gonna see conflict in the Democrat Party.
- 50:26Testecleese: And I think if the…
- 50:29Testecleese: Republicans don't do what they can to help the Democrats salvage their party, it can get very out of control very quickly.
- 50:39Testecleese: What do you think? How do you think the socialist movement's gonna go?
- 50:43Brian McFadden: I think it's gonna take over the Democrat Party.
- 50:46Testecleese: You do.
- 50:48Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 50:50Testecleese: Who's this woman?
- 50:53Testecleese: that's talking about running against, primarying Jim Jefferies. He's the minority speaker, right?
- 51:02Brian McFadden: Yeah, he's… yeah,
- 51:05Brian McFadden: She… I see…
- 51:11Testecleese: yeah, she's some other socialist, and…
- 51:15Testecleese: I got a laugh out of it, because… She said… Oh, go ahead.
- 51:19Brian McFadden: She says AOC is right.
- 51:23Testecleese: AOC's right about what?
- 51:26Brian McFadden: That it's not a good idea for the… the city councilwoman to take on,
- 51:33Brian McFadden: the Democrat leader, Hakeem Jeffries. But Jefferies, the problem I've heard since the… for the midterms and stuff, and the government shutdown, which…
- 51:43Brian McFadden: By all intents and purposes, the Dems lost badly on, because normally the Republicans would cave on it, and they expected the same thing to happen again, but Trump was in charge this time, and Trump doesn't believe in caving.
- 51:56Brian McFadden: So, but they're saying that…
- 52:00Brian McFadden: Hakeem Jeffries is not a wartime leader.
- 52:05Brian McFadden: He doesn't…
- 52:06Testecleese: FaceTime leader, he's not a leader.
- 52:07Brian McFadden: Okay, yeah.
- 52:08Testecleese: Just bitch and gripe.
- 52:10Brian McFadden: And Schumer's not a very good wartime leader, either. He lost badly in this whole deal, too.
- 52:16Testecleese: Yeah.
- 52:17Brian McFadden: game?
- 52:18Testecleese: That's the end of his career.
- 52:19Brian McFadden: nothing… they gained nothing out of being… having the government shut down for 45 days, and a lot of reasons why they did that, why they didn't gain anything, is because Trump found ways to get the military paid.
- 52:34Brian McFadden: Early on, he found ways to keep the SNAP benefits going.
- 52:38Testecleese: And every time he did, though, the Democrats would shut it down right away, and you're like, you guys are clearly trying to starve people to make a point here. Yeah. And blame the other guy for doing it, as he's, you know.
- 52:50Testecleese: And like, then they're like, oh, judge, you have to do this. Like, I don't… I'm not allowed to! I don't know what to tell you. It's like, you're a judge, you're supposed to know this, right?
- 52:57Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 53:00Testecleese: Oh, for the love of Pete!
- 53:04Testecleese: But yeah, last I heard, she was… she said it was not the right time for this, woman to try… chi, key, whatever.
- 53:12Brian McFadden: Even… even if… somebody's gonna… somebody's gonna primary both Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer next time they're up for election.
- 53:22Brian McFadden: Guaranteed.
- 53:23Testecleese: I thought Schumann wasn't gonna run again. I thought he was.
- 53:26Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
- 53:26Testecleese: Josie.
- 53:26Brian McFadden: He did say he was retiring, yep. You're right.
- 53:30Testecleese: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that's because of…
- 53:32Testecleese: Basically, what happened with the shutdown, it just… Out.
- 53:38Testecleese: He still seemed to be able to pull the Democrat Party together, but…
- 53:44Brian McFadden: To what end?
- 53:45Testecleese: Fuck.
- 53:47Testecleese: Is he supposed to come up with all the policy? I thought they had a whole chair of people that were supposed to come up with policy that… and what are those guys doing?
- 53:56Testecleese: The president of the party and everything?
- 54:00Brian McFadden: Who's the president of the party?
- 54:02Testecleese: I don't know, but they had the co-chairs, the thing that David Hogg was on.
- 54:07Brian McFadden: Oh, the DNC.
- 54:09Testecleese: Yeah, the actual party.
- 54:12Brian McFadden: Well, they're distracted by it because they had to report back to the office.
- 54:19Testecleese: Is that true?
- 54:21Testecleese: I see the repeat offender is arriving, and we do have a story about an Australian something, but it…
- 54:27Testecleese: Looks stupid to me.
- 54:30Ron Pascoe: G'day, how are we?
- 54:32Brian McFadden: We're doing well.
- 54:33Testecleese: Correct.
- 54:34Testecleese: How you doing?
- 54:36Ron Pascoe: Good, mate, good, just did the right thing by the missus, took her out from Merlin.
- 54:40Ron Pascoe: Yeah, she hasn't seen me all week, so she missed me, obviously.
- 54:44Testecleese: Well, you know, that's how it goes, I suppose, you know, you gotta… you gotta take care of her, she slaps you in the face, you know?
- 54:50Ron Pascoe: Oh, she still smacks me in the face.
- 54:58Ron Pascoe: ahead, mate. I've got that kind of head.
- 55:03Testecleese: Yeah, well, at the same time, Brian, we just, apparently the Dems just held a vote with the Republicans.
- 55:10Testecleese: And 86 of the Democrats voted to, with the Republicans, condemning, socialism.
- 55:18Brian McFadden: Okay…
- 55:19Testecleese: And that's what has me thinking that this might be a bigger conflict, and the socialists just taking over the party slowly.
- 55:24Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 55:26Brian McFadden: About 86 out of how many?
- 55:28Testecleese: That's an excellent question, I don't know.
- 55:30Testecleese: But as… the Republicans have a… well, we have, like, what, 4… 386, or 4…
- 55:37Brian McFadden: It's not the 435 total, because, there's some vacancies in the House of Representatives, so…
- 55:46Testecleese: Okay. And more than half of them are Republicans, so we're talking…
- 55:51Testecleese: Coming up on 2 thirds…
- 55:54Testecleese: to three-quarters of the Democrat Party, voted against socialism.
- 56:03Testecleese: I don't know, man. I hope I'm wrong, and we don't see…
- 56:07Testecleese: I hope it just, actually, I hope it just gets voted out, because it's clearly not working, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
- 56:15Brian McFadden: Seems to be spreading very quickly.
- 56:19Testecleese: Like I said, man.
- 56:19Ron Pascoe: Thank you.
- 56:21Testecleese: the real Republicans and independents don't step up and…
- 56:25Testecleese: Clearly say, hey, we can't let this happen.
- 56:27Testecleese: the Democrat Party will be taken over by socialists.
- 56:31Brian McFadden: Right.
- 56:32Ron Pascoe: I can see… I can see the makings of it already.
- 56:36Ron Pascoe: See, look, Michigan game alone already?
- 56:40Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 56:43Ron Pascoe: Look, I think anyone in New York, mate, is going to vote against anyone with a red arb beside them, you know?
- 56:51Testecleese: Yeah, they could have voted for Cuomo, they could have voted Democrat instead of Socialist.
- 56:57Ron Pascoe: Well, Lee Zeldin was the closest Republican to get.
- 57:00Brian McFadden: But he had a… he won the… Como didn't take Madame serious in the primary.
- 57:06Brian McFadden: He didn't even try to campaign against him. He didn't… he didn't think he had a chance, and that was Cuomo's downfall. Plus, Cuomo had a lot of baggage coming into the freaking election. He was the previous governor of, New York that had to resign in disgrace.
- 57:25Brian McFadden: Not for the right reasons, but, he still had to just resign in disgrace, and…
- 57:30Testecleese: He could have resigned in disgrace, you're right, but exactly, for a different reason than he did.
- 57:34Brian McFadden: Yeah, for killing people in nursing homes.
- 57:36Testecleese: Yeah.
- 57:37Testecleese: Yeah. Yeah. Who takes someone who's sick, even the common cold, and stores them in a nursing home for elderly people with immune deficiencies, you know what I mean?
- 57:50Ron Pascoe: I see a 6-pixel application.
- 57:53Testecleese: Yeah, no, exactly.
- 57:54Testecleese: They cared about that, but they cared about them grabbing some women's asses and going, oh, I'm Italian, it's what we do.
- 57:59Brian McFadden: That's what Italians do. Well, Biden tried that line, too, so…
- 58:03Testecleese: Did he?
- 58:04Ron Pascoe: But he… the boy's an Irish, bloody Jamaican, bloody… African American, isn't he?
- 58:11Testecleese: Give you whatever he wants, apparently.
- 58:15Ron Pascoe: That's a beautiful thing there, dementia, be whoever you want to be.
- 58:17Testecleese: Exactly. Just make sure you own our corn popper, he'll get you the rusty chain.
- 58:23Brian McFadden: The corn car's the bad guy.
- 58:26Ron Pascoe: He's very cool.
- 58:27Testecleese: What's it there, Jack?
- 58:30Ron Pascoe: Come up.
- 58:33Testecleese: I still swear Colin Pop saw that shit with him, because he watched Joe with his legs in the pool.
- 58:38Brian McFadden: Having the kids hurry this leg hair.
- 58:42Testecleese: And the guy was like, hey man, that ain't cool. Either I see.
- 58:46Testecleese: We're here on one side of this story. This guy saw a guy taking advantage of children.
- 58:51Testecleese: And Joe kicked his ass with a rusty chain.
- 58:58Testecleese: Alright. Alright, so… Whaa…
- 59:03Testecleese: We signed a continuing resolution, but it's only a half a year or something, I guess.
- 59:08Brian McFadden: through January.
- 59:10Testecleese: Okay, so it's a couple months.
- 59:11Brian McFadden: But, since that's happened, they've already pushed through a couple of the different, the military funding bill has been proved and passed.
- 59:22Testecleese: Oh, item by item.
- 59:24Brian McFadden: Yeah, they've already pre… so there's, like, 3 of the 13 amendments that have to be passed for the government to be funded without doing a CR have already been approved.
- 59:37Brian McFadden: And it is, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House's, goal to get all 13 passed. If he does that, this will be the first time since, like, 1992.
- 59:50Testecleese: They're not wrong, right.
- 59:51Brian McFadden: we're not running on a, yeah, Clinton, that we're not running on a CR.
- 59:56Testecleese: I'd love that. I think we should be forced to itemize everything. This continuing resolution thing is a stupid idea. I don't understand how that's legal.
- 1:00:05Testecleese: And somehow they keep adding to it. That's not a continuing resolution.
- 1:00:09Brian McFadden: I heard somebody say, on one of the podcast I was too, that Congress should fix this government shutdown thing once and for all, and put it into law.
- 1:00:20Testecleese: Dammit!
- 1:00:21Brian McFadden: Who's gonna get paid, and who's not gonna get paid, and what's gonna get funded, and what's not gonna get funded in a government shutdown.
- 1:00:28Testecleese: Yeah, no matter what.
- 1:00:29Brian McFadden: And sign it, and Trump will sign it into law, and it'll be done with. Because you know how hard it is to change laws once they're laws. Look at Obamacare.
- 1:00:40Testecleese: That's right. Congressman.
- 1:00:42Ron Pascoe: Yeah, that's right. Like, the filibuster, that's not part of the Constitution.
- 1:00:46Brian McFadden: No, it's just a…
- 1:00:47Testecleese: That was… that was, so that we didn't have guys standing up in Congress or the House for 15 hours talking to avoid a vote.
- 1:00:59Testecleese: That was what the idea was, is that, okay, we'll just require more… People to agree.
- 1:01:05Ron Pascoe: Plus the 60 boats as well, too, isn't it?
- 1:01:09Testecleese: Yeah, but the idea was, now instead…
- 1:01:11Brian McFadden: Senate rules, that can be changed, that can be changed at any time.
- 1:01:15Testecleese: Simple majority.
- 1:01:16Brian McFadden: And that's why Trump wants to… Trump wanted to get rid of it, but…
- 1:01:21Brian McFadden: the leadership in the Senate don't really want to get rid of it, because it's a slippery slope. The Dems started this slope, and it keeps getting peeled back more and more and more for different things, so…
- 1:01:33Testecleese: Well, that's probably my problem.
- 1:01:35Testecleese: Good, good.
- 1:01:36Ron Pascoe: No, no, sorry, I was just gonna say, I think it's a great idea. They've got to fix up, like, the military should be paid no matter what.
- 1:01:41Brian McFadden: Don't give a shit what anyone says.
- 1:01:43Ron Pascoe: The military should be the first ones they pay.
- 1:01:45Brian McFadden: TSA should be paid.
- 1:01:47Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:01:47Brian McFadden: The electronic controller should be paid.
- 1:01:50Ron Pascoe: Annual.
- 1:01:51Brian McFadden: If Congress is getting paid during the shutdown, then all the people that actually have… are called essential workers should be getting paid, too.
- 1:01:58Testecleese: That's what I'm thinking, when you say military should get paid, I'm thinking not necessarily… Entirely.
- 1:02:05Testecleese: I know this is gonna sound crass.
- 1:02:09Testecleese: But if you're an E, nothing.
- 1:02:11Testecleese: on a ship?
- 1:02:13Brian McFadden: You need your mo- well…
- 1:02:15Testecleese: What more do you need?
- 1:02:17Brian McFadden: Well, your wife needs money, I'm sure.
- 1:02:20Ron Pascoe: Exactly.
- 1:02:21Testecleese: Let's say you… I'm just saying you're an eat-nothing, living on base, you're 18 years old, you don't need to get paid right away, you can wait until the shutdown is over, and get back paid.
- 1:02:30Brian McFadden: It'd be discrimination.
- 1:02:32Ron Pascoe: Yeah, exactly, I think it's…
- 1:02:33Testecleese: You're absolutely allowed to discriminate within the military service.
- 1:02:38Testecleese: You know that as well as I am.
- 1:02:39Ron Pascoe: Should be blanket coverage. If you're going to pay one, you've got to pay them all.
- 1:02:43Testecleese: No, I don't think so. I think if it's a matter of we don't have
- 1:02:47Testecleese: Right now, we don't have the funds to do it.
- 1:02:50Testecleese: It should be triage care, what's most important right now, and then who gets back pay immediately, and then who doesn't get back pay at all, because you got fired, because it turns out we don't need you here at all.
- 1:03:05Testecleese: I'm just saying, like, when I lived on the ship.
- 1:03:07Testecleese: And then, in a barracks for a little while.
- 1:03:10Testecleese: I could have gone without pay and been just okay for 3-4 months. Yeah, it would have sucked, but then it would have gone handed.
- 1:03:17Testecleese: you know, as an E3, I got handed, 8, 14, 18, $3,200.
- 1:03:26Testecleese: You know?
- 1:03:28Testecleese: that's after tax and everything, and I was paying Massachusetts taxes on.
- 1:03:33Testecleese: Yeah, E3, I think I was getting 1400 bucks twice a month, right?
- 1:03:38Testecleese: No, so it wouldn't even be 32, it'd be, $6,400 bucks.
- 1:03:44Brian McFadden: So, several things are happening to the food stamp program.
- 1:03:49Testecleese: Yeah?
- 1:03:51Brian McFadden: people are learning that they could lose their federal food benefit permanently, and they're the only… they're the reason why they're about to lose their benefits forever, is because we saw all those stupid TikTok people, through the government shutdown, freaking out about how they might have to get a job to feed their families.
- 1:04:10Brian McFadden: They… and that, you know, this was a right. They needed their food stamps in order to survive.
- 1:04:16Brian McFadden: And so, you know, the Agriculture Secretary has directed the USDA staff to,
- 1:04:24Brian McFadden: keep pushing states towards compliance with the Republicans' tax and spending law.
- 1:04:30Brian McFadden: which is projected to kick millions out of the nation's largest anti-hunger program in the next few months. Basically.
- 1:04:39Brian McFadden: They've… they're gonna have to go to work.
- 1:04:42Testecleese: If you can work, you need to go to work.
- 1:04:44Brian McFadden: Or you gotta volunteer for certain hours at a non-profit, community, you know…
- 1:04:49Testecleese: It's the same thing as working, though, honestly, right?
- 1:04:51Brian McFadden: Yep, yep, yep, up, yep, you're just not getting paid for it, I agree.
- 1:04:55Brian McFadden: You know? And also, I just recently heard that, Trump's ordering everybody to be recertified for food stamps.
- 1:05:05Ron Pascoe: Digg.
- 1:05:05Testecleese: I have no issue with that. In fact, I think.
- 1:05:07Brian McFadden: I don't have an issue with it at all, I think it's a great thing.
- 1:05:09Testecleese: It should happen every year, or every other year, or something, anyway.
- 1:05:12Brian McFadden: It should happen on a fairly regular basis, yeah.
- 1:05:16Ron Pascoe: Oh, you're gonna catch a lot of people out there.
- 1:05:17Brian McFadden: Because there's… obviously, watching the Tic Tac videos, there's a lot of… and we all knew it, back in the back of our minds, there's a lot of fraud in the food stamp program.
- 1:05:27Testecleese: You know, I watched a video recently of a woman who just bought a collector's set of cups, Coca-Cola cups.
- 1:05:33Testecleese: On food stamps, because it came with a little bag of popcorn to watch your movies with.
- 1:05:39Testecleese: And I was like, this, this is what we were… Raging over was…
- 1:05:44Brian McFadden: Yeah. This is where the money's being spent on. Yeah.
- 1:05:49Brian McFadden: I mean, people should… I mean… I mean, I know a lot of states are getting rid of the sodas off of food stamps, and the candy bars, and stuff like that. I also think you gotta get rid of some of the high-end items off of food stamps. They shouldn't be able to go into the grocery store and buy shrimp and lobster on their EBT card.
- 1:06:08Testecleese: Truffle butter.
- 1:06:10Brian McFadden: Truffle butter, oh yeah, there you go, that's a good investment.
- 1:06:14Testecleese: No, yeah, and I get it, it's like, yeah, you want to eat nice every once in a while, too, but if you're borrowing money just to eat.
- 1:06:21Brian McFadden: Then you shouldn't be eating nice.
- 1:06:23Testecleese: Then, okay, you get to spend all this money, that means you're probably not gonna eat next week.
- 1:06:28Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:06:28Testecleese: Right?
- 1:06:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:06:30Brian McFadden: They'll be at the food bank, getting handouts from the food bank.
- 1:06:34Testecleese: church.
- 1:06:34Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:06:37Brian McFadden: No, there's… I mean, the program is rampant with fraud, like most government handout org… and another problem is, people are calling it an entitlement.
- 1:06:47Brian McFadden: It's not an entitlement, and that term needs to go away.
- 1:06:53Testecleese: Well, I don't know, it depends on what you mean by entitlement. The way we've been using entitlement is once you become qualified, you're entitled.
- 1:07:01Brian McFadden: Yeah, forever.
- 1:07:03Testecleese: Yeah, and that's the thing, it's like, yeah, okay, buddy, you broke your leg, you can't go to work.
- 1:07:07Testecleese: And the lumber mill.
- 1:07:09Testecleese: For a while. That was 5 years ago.
- 1:07:12Testecleese: You know?
- 1:07:14Testecleese: You could have a job, maybe not at the lumber mill, but somewhere by now.
- 1:07:20Testecleese: And they're telling us there's no jobs available. At the same time, they're telling us we need to import all these illegals, because we need people to fill these jobs.
- 1:07:29Brian McFadden: Yeah, and another gripe I have is…
- 1:07:32Brian McFadden: When I was growing up, food stamps came in a little coupon booklet, and you had to, like…
- 1:07:38Testecleese: camps.
- 1:07:38Brian McFadden: And you had to rip it out and give it to the cashier. It was very humiliating. My parents refused to ever go on food stamps, even when my dad lost his job a couple of times.
- 1:07:49Testecleese: Because everyone could see that you guys weren't getting by on your own.
- 1:07:51Brian McFadden: now you've got a little debit card, and then if you're not paying close attention to the people using their debit card, you'll think it's just a regular debit card. So there's no stigma in being on EBT now.
- 1:08:04Testecleese: Walpo and I talked about this, recently, how that, yeah, we need to bring back the stigma, and he said just that, he said, we need to bring… I said we need to bring back the actual stamps.
- 1:08:13Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:08:14Testecleese: And then he said, yeah, to prevent people from stealing them.
- 1:08:18Testecleese: prints a QR code on the back or something that brings up their, like, driver's license information.
- 1:08:23Brian McFadden: Yeah, good idea, yeah.
- 1:08:24Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:08:25Brian McFadden: You wouldn't be able to sell them either that way.
- 1:08:27Testecleese: Exactly.
- 1:08:29Brian McFadden: Because I know that's happening with the card. They'll, like, oh, yeah, you know.
- 1:08:34Brian McFadden: I'll let you buy, you know, a dollar's worth of food if you give me $2 in cash. You know, and then they give them the PIN, give them the card…
- 1:08:41Testecleese: All the way around, all the way around. You give me…
- 1:08:43Brian McFadden: You know what I mean.
- 1:08:44Testecleese: But yeah, I'll buy you that…
- 1:08:47Testecleese: All the food… I'll buy you groceries this week, just give me 50% of that in cash.
- 1:08:52Brian McFadden: Yeah, and you know, people can, with Amazon and Walmart online ordering, stuff like that, you don't even have to, like, go into the store to do that kind of stuff, you know, they can just have it shipped directly to your house.
- 1:09:05Ron Pascoe: Hmm.
- 1:09:07Ron Pascoe: here in Australia, we saw, like, we do a similar situation, but we call it the unemployment benefits, the DOL.
- 1:09:14Ron Pascoe: And in certain areas, they're really bad on their car, but they're bad.
- 1:09:18Testecleese: bang.
- 1:09:19Ron Pascoe: They can only get so much money out of cash on a card. The money goes to their account.
- 1:09:24Ron Pascoe: And they cannot buy alcohol or tobacco products with it?
- 1:09:30Testecleese: Unemployment here is like an insurance fund you buy into.
- 1:09:34Brian McFadden: And we're allowed to buy alcohol and tobacco with ours.
- 1:09:37Testecleese: Well, that's because it's an insurance policy that's paying out over a set period of time, and it's your money to do with, as you see. Most people who are bright enough to get involved in an unemployment program like that, though, is bright enough to understand
- 1:09:51Testecleese: use this money to pay the bills until I get new employment. And that only… unemployment only counts, too, if you are fired… if you lose your job without cause.
- 1:10:01Brian McFadden: And here in Virginia, it's only, like, $400 or $500 a month. It ain't covering much. Probably not… it won't even cover most people's rent or mortgage.
- 1:10:10Testecleese: But if you got fired because you got stoned on the job, you're not getting your unemployment benefits. If you quit, you don't get your unemployment benefits. But if the business goes under.
- 1:10:19Testecleese: Then you get your benefits.
- 1:10:21Brian McFadden: If you get laid off, you get some unemployment benefits.
- 1:10:25Brian McFadden: So.
- 1:10:26Testecleese: We're downsizing, we're, you know?
- 1:10:28Brian McFadden: Yeah, so Trump is still pushing his $2,000 tariff rebate checks. He did make an announcement that they're not coming out before Christmas. Dang it, I wanted to spend.
- 1:10:40Testecleese: Unfortunate, that would have been convenient.
- 1:10:41Brian McFadden: Yeah, it would have been. And Scott Bessett, in the… it's not in here, but I know I saw it further on articles saying that,
- 1:10:50Brian McFadden: Scott Bessett did say that they're really looking at it. It's probably not gonna be $2,000 per adult.
- 1:10:58Brian McFadden: I mean… It's gonna have to be approved by the Congress.
- 1:11:02Brian McFadden: So, they're looking at it being more similar to how the stimulus checks were. It was, like, $600.
- 1:11:09Brian McFadden: Per adult, plus, you know, so much for each dependent kind of deal.
- 1:11:14Brian McFadden: I don't expect to see $4,000 for a married couple, but, you know…
- 1:11:21Testecleese: Well, I like the idea of the,
- 1:11:24Testecleese: taxes. It's a tax rebate. Like, you get to pay that much less in tax.
- 1:11:29Brian McFadden: And they also said it was gonna be, formulated by income, you know, high-end… high-income earners aren't gonna get it, you know.
- 1:11:38Testecleese: Yeah, I think it said, 7-figure earners a year don't get a rebate.
- 1:11:43Brian McFadden: I'm not 7 figures yet, so…
- 1:11:47Testecleese: No, no, Brian.
- 1:11:50Brian McFadden: Nor do I think he'll ever be.
- 1:11:52Brian McFadden: Because I don't want to work that hard.
- 1:11:53Testecleese: You'd be excited to bring in 6 figures a year.
- 1:11:56Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:11:58Testecleese: What's that stuff?
- 1:11:58Brian McFadden: Never gonna happen either.
- 1:12:00Testecleese: No, not necessarily, Drew. For all you know, this show's gonna take off tomorrow.
- 1:12:04Brian McFadden: Oh, there we go, then we could be 7-figure earners.
- 1:12:07Testecleese: We could make a mil… 20 million bucks a year.
- 1:12:10Testecleese: Selling friggin' butt lube as we, talk about the government.
- 1:12:15Brian McFadden: Well, that would make my wife happy.
- 1:12:19Ron Pascoe: What do you gotta do is scull of Bud Light, mate, I told ya.
- 1:12:23Brian McFadden: He won't do it!
- 1:12:25Ron Pascoe: He won't do it.
- 1:12:28Testecleese: Possibly, possibly.
- 1:12:31Brian McFadden: It might take…
- 1:12:32Testecleese: Or… Glad to happen.
- 1:12:33Brian McFadden: I don't know. We got a bill coming up.
- 1:12:36Testecleese: I know.
- 1:12:39Brian McFadden: Like, this month.
- 1:12:40Ron Pascoe: 20 bucks is 20 bucks, mate.
- 1:12:42Testecleese: Oh, it's only 20 bucks?
- 1:12:46Ron Pascoe: Are you guys going up a little bit higher now. Like, the dollar rates change a bit in between.
- 1:12:50Brian McFadden: I think I sent you the PayPal link already, so…
- 1:13:05Ron Pascoe: I'm gonna get into it for Christmas, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.
- 1:13:08Testecleese: Yes.
- 1:13:10Testecleese: This, tariff thing.
- 1:13:12Testecleese: Trump is exempting certain things from the tariffs, and this is something I brought up a while ago, and I specifically brought up chips and processors, because we're not doing… we're not making enough as it is.
- 1:13:25Testecleese: and then… I was like, coffee.
- 1:13:30Testecleese: Hawaii is the only place in the United States that we can grow coffee, a decent coffee, naturally.
- 1:13:36Testecleese: So, what's not tariff?
- 1:13:39Testecleese: Coffee coming from, like, Colombia.
- 1:13:42Testecleese: But one of them exclude… one of these new exclusions counts, beef.
- 1:13:48Testecleese: And this bothers me, because I know where this beef is coming from instead of American cows.
- 1:13:56Testecleese: And it's Australia.
- 1:13:58Testecleese: Australia is the number 2 beef producer on the planet.
- 1:14:02Testecleese: And don't get me wrong, they have a decent product, but we should be pushing for American products to be consumed by Americans first.
- 1:14:12Testecleese: Yeah, nothing…
- 1:14:13Ron Pascoe: Yeah, of course, it's fine.
- 1:14:16Ron Pascoe: No, it's like with us, mate. We don't need to buy anyone else's beef or fish or seaf or anything, mate. We're completely covered by water.
- 1:14:24Ron Pascoe: We've got some of the cleanest water in the world around us. But the thing is, it's trade. That's how trade works.
- 1:14:30Ron Pascoe: And for a long, long time, because what…
- 1:14:34Ron Pascoe: places like Monsada… What's it? Monsada, isn't it?
- 1:14:39Ron Pascoe: all the GMM products, GMA products.
- 1:14:43Ron Pascoe: Masato? What's your big company out there?
- 1:14:46Brian McFadden: Monsanto.
- 1:14:47Ron Pascoe: Food places.
- 1:14:48Testecleese: Monsanto.
- 1:14:49Ron Pascoe: Monsanto. Monsanto, that's it, Monsanto, yeah. Because what they do with your beef and shit like that, we put a bar on your… we put a ban on USB for a long time.
- 1:14:58Testecleese: Yeah, which I don't think…
- 1:15:00Ron Pascoe: coming in.
- 1:15:02Testecleese: It's, it's crazy, because…
- 1:15:04Testecleese: I didn't believe this at first, and you can check the factory if you want, Brian, but apparently there's, like, one cow
- 1:15:11Testecleese: That has been cloned, like, 100 million times in the United States for beef.
- 1:15:16Testecleese: And not everyone is cloning cows, but apparently this one cow was so extraordinary for beef that they just kept cloning it, and then cloning the clones, etc, etc.
- 1:15:26Testecleese: But Monsanto usually deals with, Crops. Yeah.
- 1:15:35Testecleese: And the worst with that is, you grow a cornfield on your property.
- 1:15:39Testecleese: And Monsanto, Monsanto, whatever, owns the property next to you, is growing corn, the wind blows, now they're suing you for rights to your frickin' seeds, because…
- 1:15:49Ron Pascoe: Right.
- 1:15:49Testecleese: fertilized by their patented information.
- 1:15:53Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Well, that's why we weren't… weren't using it, mate, US beef. That's why we put a bin on it.
- 1:15:59Ron Pascoe: But now, because Trump's got internet, and he's made a deal with our Prime Minister.
- 1:16:03Ron Pascoe: We're allowing beef to come in from the US, and we're exporting it, and…
- 1:16:07Ron Pascoe: And quite frankly, you know, like, you had to drop the tariffs on us, because if we're going to allow yours in, well, it's vice versa.
- 1:16:15Testecleese: Well, assuming there's no tariff going into Australia.
- 1:16:19Ron Pascoe: Well, you look at Australia. We get most of our pork products from Holland.
- 1:16:23Ron Pascoe: From the Netherlands.
- 1:16:25Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:16:25Ron Pascoe: In Denmark.
- 1:16:26Testecleese: I will say American Pete.
- 1:16:28Ron Pascoe: Thank you.
- 1:16:28Testecleese: Is pretty damn good.
- 1:16:30Testecleese: Australian beef is…
- 1:16:33Testecleese: right up there, best in the world, because I've been in some countries when you get beef, and you're, like, a cheese, even a burger, ground beef, and you're like, is that beef?
- 1:16:43Testecleese: Right. Like, was that? I don't know, like, that might have been Camel, you know?
- 1:16:48Ron Pascoe: Do you know we've got the biggest cattle stations in the world? Australia's got the biggest cattle stations in the world.
- 1:16:54Testecleese: That doesn't surprise me, necessarily. That one particular ranch.
- 1:17:00Ron Pascoe: Yeah, all Northern Territory and that, mate. We've got cattle stations bigger than some countries.
- 1:17:04Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:17:06Testecleese: Well, see, that's the thing, is a lot of people don't realize how big Australia and the United States actually are.
- 1:17:12Testecleese: Like, they're both enormous fucking countries. Like, if you dropped Australia or the US on Europe.
- 1:17:19Testecleese: It covers the whole fucking thing, you know?
- 1:17:23Ron Pascoe: We're a consonant boy ourself.
- 1:17:26Testecleese: Yeah, you gotta have two other little Iowans that are independent, but… There you go, I thought.
- 1:17:33Testecleese: Tasmanians and New Zealanders, Commonwealth?
- 1:17:38Ron Pascoe: No, New Zealand's another country. Tasmania's one of our states.
- 1:17:42Testecleese: Oh, I didn't… Tasmania, spotted Australia, I didn't realize that.
- 1:17:45Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Tasmania's like Hawaii, it's off the mainland.
- 1:17:48Testecleese: It's New Zealand, though, it has nothing to do with the Crown.
- 1:17:51Testecleese: They're completely independent.
- 1:17:53Ron Pascoe: New Zealand's part of the Commonwealth.
- 1:17:55Testecleese: Oh, okay. They're.
- 1:17:56Ron Pascoe: But they're 3 hours east of us.
- 1:17:59Ron Pascoe: by plane.
- 1:18:01Testecleese: Yeah, they're the ones, where their first woman captain just sank a ship, right?
- 1:18:08Testecleese: Great, good.
- 1:18:08Brian McFadden: We covered that, don't worry.
- 1:18:11Ron Pascoe: Cheers!
- 1:18:11Testecleese: just back in the news recently, too, and I… I laughed. I was like, I don't even want to read this.
- 1:18:16Testecleese: We were vicious enough the first time through on this one.
- 1:18:20Ron Pascoe: You know what, they still didn't get rid of her. They kept her.
- 1:18:25Testecleese: Yeah, wow.
- 1:18:26Brian McFadden: So, Minnesota is apparently ridden with fraud.
- 1:18:31Testecleese: Yeah, that's a Big Walls Tim Walls estate, right?
- 1:18:35Brian McFadden: Yep,
- 1:18:38Testecleese: Is this one about the Medicaid, or is this.
- 1:18:43Ron Pascoe: financing Hamas, or someone?
- 1:18:46Testecleese: Well…
- 1:18:47Brian McFadden: Well, they removed 800 Medicaid providers from the system in order to attack fraud.
- 1:18:52Testecleese: Well, at first, I was like, oh, good, they're getting rid of people, and then I saw it said Medicaid providers.
- 1:18:57Brian McFadden: Yeah, people provide… yeah, because…
- 1:18:59Testecleese: So the healthcare facilities are being removed from the rolls, and here's the best part, is they said, anyone who hasn't reported
- 1:19:08Testecleese: like, they were due payment from the Minnesota government through Medicaid. In over a year, it's gonna be removed in case of fraud.
- 1:19:16Testecleese: It's like, first of all, these guys clearly aren't, because they're not requesting any money. So all you did was take someone off the list who might… who would accept your payment method.
- 1:19:27Testecleese: But no one has, because it was in, like, a nice high-end community, for example, right?
- 1:19:32Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:19:33Testecleese: And now you've made it so that they cannot accept this payment.
- 1:19:36Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:19:38Testecleese: Good work, guys, and This other one, there's… There's more fraud in Minnesota.
- 1:19:47Ron Pascoe: Yay!
- 1:19:48Testecleese: I know, right?
- 1:19:51Testecleese: Oh yeah, Housing Stabilization Services is being scrubbed altogether.
- 1:19:56Testecleese: It was supposed to pay about $2.6 million a year.
- 1:20:01Testecleese: To, you know, help house people and all that stuff.
- 1:20:05Testecleese: Within, like, 2 years, it was $21 million.
- 1:20:09Testecleese: And, like, this is obviously being taken advantage of. It's like, oh, wow.
- 1:20:13Testecleese: So all these states saying that, you guys are all Nazis who are trying to cut spending.
- 1:20:17Testecleese: Now, once the bill comes due and you don't have it, all of a sudden you cut spending.
- 1:20:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:20:27Testecleese: If it's not… if it's not gonna work at home.
- 1:20:30Testecleese: It's not gonna work on a larger scale.
- 1:20:33Testecleese: I'm more willing to accept someone made a bunch of mistakes in their home life, but is still telling voting, let's not make the same mistakes, you know what I mean?
- 1:20:45Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:20:46Testecleese: I mean, we've all fallen on hard times, and it's usually because we made dumb mistakes here or there along the way that compounded.
- 1:20:53Ron Pascoe: It's the only way you're gonna learn, mate, isn't it? By making mistakes?
- 1:20:56Testecleese: True, but when it comes to the community, you usually say, hey, let's not take the risk unless we need to. You know what I mean?
- 1:21:05Testecleese: We need the community to survive. If my adventure fails, I might die, but the community survives.
- 1:21:14Brian McFadden: So, you see this new… this non-profit news organization that's funded entirely by the U.S. government?
- 1:21:22Brian McFadden: They're selling off all their equipment during the shutdown.
- 1:21:26Testecleese: They were fed, funded by USAID, right?
- 1:21:31Brian McFadden: It didn't say in the article.
- 1:21:34Testecleese: Because that program's being completely dismantled, not just disarmed.
- 1:21:39Brian McFadden: But, I mean… Daryl Issa is in the process of trying to restore their funding.
- 1:21:46Brian McFadden: But in the meantime, they're selling off $1,000 cameras for, like, pennies.
- 1:21:53Testecleese: I know, and…
- 1:21:54Brian McFadden: They get, $60 million a year from the American taxpayers to produce news in Asia.
- 1:22:01Testecleese: Which bothered me, but if they're selling this stuff off, there was no link to where to buy this stuff in this article.
- 1:22:08Brian McFadden: You were looking to buy something?
- 1:22:10Testecleese: Dude, I would take a friggin' $10,000 camera for 45 cents, wouldn't you?
- 1:22:14Brian McFadden: Yeah… You know, I guess you gotta do a little digging.
- 1:22:18Testecleese: I'd buy 3 or 4 of them, find someone to sell them to for $1,000 apiece, you know?
- 1:22:25Testecleese: But, maybe start… maybe start shooting some really cool videos in the yard. Oh, by the way…
- 1:22:31Testecleese: I already have it planned out, I'm just waiting for a good day and time to do it. But I'm going to blast a pumpkin with a 12-gauge shotgun with the super high-speed camera in my phone.
- 1:22:42Ron Pascoe: Huh.
- 1:22:43Testecleese: When I bought my phone, I made sure to get the upgraded version just for the camera.
- 1:22:48Testecleese: my high-speed camera… well, my cam… my phone is about…
- 1:22:53Testecleese: 5 years old. The wife just got a brand new one. My camera does faster… faster than hers does.
- 1:23:00Testecleese: We might be able to see ball… lead ball bearings flying through the air instead of just a pumpkin exploder.
- 1:23:08Testecleese: I've done some cool high-speed video before, but… but yeah, if I could get a handful of $10,000 cameras for a couple bucks…
- 1:23:16Testecleese: Dude, I was out doing all sorts of crazy frickin' stunts in my backyard.
- 1:23:20Brian McFadden: So there's a court settlement in the NPR case where they're gonna get $36 million in government funds to keep operating.
- 1:23:30Testecleese: Which, that was also the USAID plug on that one that was causing them to shut down, right?
- 1:23:35Brian McFadden: I thought it was the, CPB.
- 1:23:40Testecleese: Oh, maybe.
- 1:23:41Testecleese: I just…
- 1:23:42Brian McFadden: the broadcasting is… the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
- 1:23:45Testecleese: Yeah, she's the one shutting down.
- 1:23:46Brian McFadden: down.
- 1:23:50Brian McFadden: And NPR came back and said they accused CBV of violating the First Amendment rights when it moved to cut off all its access to grant money by Congress.
- 1:23:59Testecleese: To what money?
- 1:24:02Brian McFadden: Grant money.
- 1:24:04Testecleese: How is it a violation of your First Amendment right to not be given money from the taxpayers?
- 1:24:11Brian McFadden: Spread your message.
- 1:24:14Brian McFadden: I don't know. No, that was… that was the fucking argument? Yeah.
- 1:24:18Testecleese: Can we make the same argument? That we're not being handed millions of dollars by the federal gov… of federal taxpayer money?
- 1:24:27Testecleese: To spread our garbage nonsense out there, too.
- 1:24:33Testecleese: Dear God, we would bring in less money than we put into the program.
- 1:24:39Brian McFadden: Yeah. Could you imagine how many… how many people could actually get to listen to this show if we had $60 million in advertising, though?
- 1:24:46Brian McFadden: We'd be able to just do the show.
- 1:24:49Testecleese: Yeah, actually, we could buy gear.
- 1:24:52Testecleese: Even hire someone to, like, who knows what they're doing.
- 1:24:55Brian McFadden: You know, like Claire.
- 1:24:59Testecleese: Yeah?
- 1:24:59Ron Pascoe: Bring the recruiter fender over for a couple of shows, really.
- 1:25:04Testecleese: When you came to the States, we were doing the show.
- 1:25:08Ron Pascoe: Yeah, mate. I'm always willing to travel.
- 1:25:15Testecleese: stay your visa, because they will come get you, and they will just kidnap you and, disappear you, you know?
- 1:25:22Ron Pascoe: I'll give it… I'll give it 2 days before me… the visa expires.
- 1:25:27Testecleese: Like, these guys…
- 1:25:28Brian McFadden: Oh my god, yeah.
- 1:25:28Testecleese: Right.
- 1:25:29Brian McFadden: We got the military going on now.
- 1:25:34Testecleese: Yeah…
- 1:25:35Brian McFadden: And I thought this… I thought this kind of deal was already in place with the military, but now every soldier in the Army's gonna get a daily check-in during the holidays.
- 1:25:47Testecleese: Yeah, I get it.
- 1:25:51Testecleese: Military is more likely to kill themselves. Around the holidays is when people are more likely to kill themselves.
- 1:25:58Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:25:59Testecleese: Problem I see, though… not even problem, but the… Missed connection here.
- 1:26:07Testecleese: Is where… if you're not going home to be with family.
- 1:26:10Testecleese: From the military, you wouldn't go home, you would stay with the rest of the guys on base that didn't go home, right?
- 1:26:18Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:26:19Testecleese: So it's not like you're alone on Christmas.
- 1:26:23Ron Pascoe: Hmm.
- 1:26:24Testecleese: When you're on leave.
- 1:26:27Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:26:28Testecleese: But I don't know, man, like, I go home to see my family, I don't want to answer a call from my fucking…
- 1:26:34Testecleese: Chief.
- 1:26:35Testecleese: when I'm on… Leave.
- 1:26:39Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:26:40Testecleese: 600 miles away.
- 1:26:44Testecleese: visiting my family, you know? Like, who wants to answer a call from the chief when you're probably frickin' drinking eggnog with booze in it, you know?
- 1:26:53Ron Pascoe: Let's see.
- 1:26:56Testecleese: Yeah, and then you…
- 1:26:58Testecleese: You know as well as I, Brian, you can get in trouble over the phone for being drunk in the service, right?
- 1:27:04Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:27:05Testecleese: Heh, yes, I do know that.
- 1:27:08Testecleese: I don't know if you know Repeat Offender, Brian here…
- 1:27:11Testecleese: was so great in the Navy that they made policy to curb his behavior that they implemented Navy-wide.
- 1:27:19Ron Pascoe: I think, I think it's something come up about 15 times.
- 1:27:22Brian McFadden: But it's not in place anymore. They've lifted that down.
- 1:27:27Ron Pascoe: What's that once you, got out, mate?
- 1:27:29Brian McFadden: No, they waited until after years after. They don't even know what caused the Liberty policy change anymore.
- 1:27:38Testecleese: See what happened? It's like, something must have happened.
- 1:27:43Ron Pascoe: Is there a report DVD on it, or…
- 1:27:47Brian McFadden: Well, barbecue's… barbecue's in action again.
- 1:27:51Brian McFadden: The leader of the Haitian gangs.
- 1:27:54Testecleese: I just wanna… before you go too far into this, I just wanna point out that…
- 1:27:58Testecleese: I have a cruise planned with my extended family in, like, I don't know.
- 1:28:04Testecleese: early summer. Well, Haiti's on one of the port visit lists, is on the.
- 1:28:09Brian McFadden: You're never going to Haiti, that's not a Haiti.
- 1:28:13Testecleese: We planned this months and months ago.
- 1:28:15Testecleese: And I even contacted the family, I was like, I don't think we're going to Haiti. And she's like, what? And I sent her, like, it's a no-go zone, American citizens, you know, blah blah blah.
- 1:28:23Brian McFadden: Yeah, you're gonna go to DR.
- 1:28:25Testecleese: She's like, well, that's… my sister's like, that seems dumb. My mother goes… said something like, yeah, why would they do that? I was like, oh, there's a guy that they call barbecues eating people. They're destroying the government. They've had no government there for, what, two, three years now?
- 1:28:39Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah. There's no cruise ship pulling into Haiti. You're gonna go to the DR on the same island.
- 1:28:45Testecleese: That's what I said, I was like, we're gonna go to the Dominican Republic, aren't we?
- 1:28:49Testecleese: But yeah, they were like, I was excited to go to Haiti. He's like, you do not want to go to Haiti right now.
- 1:28:56Testecleese: Nothing good is gonna come out of that, okay?
- 1:28:58Brian McFadden: Imagine the ambassador that gets stationed in Haiti. How much did you get disliked by the press?
- 1:29:05Testecleese: Yeah, what do you do?
- 1:29:07Testecleese: the Marines defending the embassy, right?
- 1:29:10Brian McFadden: Well, they're having a good time, though. The Marines are actually doing They're loving.
- 1:29:15Brian McFadden: I turn back!
- 1:29:18Ron Pascoe: There is waking grace for bloody Marjorie Taylor Greene,
- 1:29:22Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:29:25Testecleese: Hey, Haitian gang!
- 1:29:28Testecleese: you are no match for the United States Marines, okay?
- 1:29:34Testecleese: These guys are good.
- 1:29:38Brian McFadden: And then I'm afraid to shoot to kill.
- 1:29:41Testecleese: Well, fuck me!
- 1:29:43Testecleese: You shoot center of body mass.
- 1:29:46Testecleese: You don't care if you killed a guy. Actually.
- 1:29:48Testecleese: In theory, you don't want to kill the guy, because now it takes one or two other guys to drag him off the battlefield to go get medical attention.
- 1:29:58Testecleese: These gangs probably just let their dudes lay there and bleed out, though.
- 1:30:01Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:30:06Testecleese: Oh, Brian, yeah. Shit, tell me about this next one.
- 1:30:10Brian McFadden: Which one?
- 1:30:12Testecleese: the…
- 1:30:13Brian McFadden: Oh, the military… Democrat military veterans?
- 1:30:16Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:30:18Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're telling… these veterans in Congress, we're telling the troops to defy unlawful orders.
- 1:30:25Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:30:27Testecleese: Well, first of all, I just want to point out.
- 1:30:30Testecleese: It is your duty to not follow unlawful orders, right?
- 1:30:34Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:30:37Testecleese: oh my god. But the problem is, they've been saying.
- 1:30:43Testecleese: this is an unlawful order, this is an illegal military action about this Venezuela stuff. And then they turn around and say, don't obey illegal orders. That's like saying, it's okay to punch Nazis, right? Yeah. And someone goes, yeah, I guess so. And then the other guy says, hey, look, a bunch of Nazis.
- 1:31:04Testecleese: Alright, how many fluid ounces of Bud Light do I need to drink to get this payment?
- 1:31:09Ron Pascoe: Oh, mate, it's gotta be a full can, at least.
- 1:31:11Brian McFadden: What's a, what, we got different sized cans.
- 1:31:15Brian McFadden: 12 hours?
- 1:31:16Ron Pascoe: The biggest one you've got, the biggest one you've got?
- 1:31:18Testecleese: Well, see, the problem with the biggest one I got
- 1:31:20Testecleese: This is a regular beer can, right?
- 1:31:24Ron Pascoe: That'll be… mate, I'll do that.
- 1:31:25Testecleese: But I…
- 1:31:26Ron Pascoe: Don't lie.
- 1:31:27Testecleese: I've only gotten…
- 1:31:28Ron Pascoe: my lawyer.
- 1:31:28Testecleese: Monster of a kid!
- 1:31:30Brian McFadden: He'll be fine with that.
- 1:31:32Testecleese: That's a ton! I can't skull this thing!
- 1:31:36Testecleese: I get drinking.
- 1:31:39Brian McFadden: No, he wants you to shotgun it. Poke a hole in the bottle.
- 1:31:42Testecleese: It's like, I would throw all over myself.
- 1:31:44Ron Pascoe: You pour half into one of those other cans, you skull one.
- 1:31:49Ron Pascoe: Fifth goal too, I'll send $40 Australian.
- 1:31:52Testecleese: If I try to pound this much beer, I'm gonna throw up foam all over the place.
- 1:31:58Brian McFadden: really good for the…
- 1:31:59Ron Pascoe: Good turn out.
- 1:31:59Brian McFadden: YouTube, so we can get it on video.
- 1:32:04Ron Pascoe: up. You pay me.
- 1:32:06Testecleese: Well, that doesn't seem right. So you do?
- 1:32:10Ron Pascoe: They'll pay you $10, it's Australian. 20 bucks is 20 bucks.
- 1:32:18Testecleese: See, I have no idea what the US dollar versus the Australian dollar is right now.
- 1:32:23Ron Pascoe: So the problem between you and I is there's no way I'm going to drink that Foster's.
- 1:32:29Brian McFadden: But…
- 1:32:30Testecleese: The thing is, I don't even necessarily have anything against the Bud Light beer. I mean…
- 1:32:35Testecleese: It's just… it's the same as any other watery-like beer.
- 1:32:41Testecleese: White has some salty taste to it.
- 1:32:45Ron Pascoe: But the thing is, mate, you're gonna have witnesses with this.
- 1:32:50Testecleese: Yeah, well, perhaps next week we'll do this, and I'm gonna have to do it, early on.
- 1:32:55Testecleese: And then it just to that much beer being put into my stuff. That was, like, two and a half cans of beer.
- 1:33:03Ron Pascoe: That's nothing, mate. When you go to England, you drink pints over there in Ireland.
- 1:33:07Testecleese: Oh, don't worry, I've been overseas and pounded beer like that plenty when I was in my 20s.
- 1:33:12Testecleese: And not trying to, like, do stuff.
- 1:33:19Testecleese: This young man has no idea what happens in the Navy, Brian.
- 1:33:23Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:33:26Ron Pascoe: Well, I just asked you, mate, when you bought that blight, were you wearing a hat and a pair of glasses and that?
- 1:33:30Testecleese: No, because no one here gives a fuck about that boycott anyway.
- 1:33:35Testecleese: No one here, guys.
- 1:33:37Brian McFadden: Pretty much over.
- 1:33:40Testecleese: What's this?
- 1:33:42Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Senator Alyssa Slotkin. Senator Mark Kelly. Representative Chris DeLuz.
- 1:33:45Ron Pascoe: clean.
- 1:33:46Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. Representative Chrissy Houlihan. Congressman Jason Crowe. I was a captain in the United States Navy. Former CIA officer. Former Navy. Former paratrooper and Army Ranger. Former intelligence officer. Former Air Force. We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe.
- 1:34:05Audio shared by Brian McFadden: We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us.
- 1:34:19Testecleese: I'm worried about National Guard more than anything.
- 1:34:21Audio shared by Brian McFadden: and this Constitution. Right now.
- 1:34:23Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
- 1:34:31Audio shared by Brian McFadden: You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard, and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA… In the Army, or Navy. The Air Force.
- 1:34:48Audio shared by Brian McFadden: What about Space Force? Know that we have your back.
- 1:34:51Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don't… They clearly haven't read the Constitution. Don't give up now. Don't give up the ship.
- 1:35:05Testecleese: And what, was that, 7 Democrats or 8 Democrats made this video?
- 1:35:10Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:35:11Testecleese: This is the CIA.
- 1:35:13Testecleese: The only actual military we saw is Navy and Air Force, and let's be real, if anyone's gonna make fun of the service within the service, it's gonna be those two branches, right?
- 1:35:21Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:35:21Testecleese: But they only got, like, 8 or something people to say something, because they know, as well as you and I know, that most people that served don't vote Democrat.
- 1:35:29Brian McFadden: Well, Trump has a response to that. I wonder if I got a video for that.
- 1:35:35Testecleese: What the… First of all, that's not the right penalty for that crime.
- 1:35:42Testecleese: Brian's trying to pull it up. But basically, Trump is saying, oh, this is, insurrection.
- 1:35:48Testecleese: And, it's punishable by death.
- 1:35:52Ron Pascoe: No, I didn't say that. He said, what would have Washington have done?
- 1:35:58Testecleese: No, that was a comment that he shared.
- 1:36:01Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:36:02Testecleese: Yeah, that… yeah, someone else in Washington would have hanged them all.
- 1:36:06Ron Pascoe: Yeah, he's, they logged.
- 1:36:09Brian McFadden: Well, we're losing his internet.
- 1:36:11Brian McFadden: Yeah, he threatens, with Democrats with execution for urging Trump to defy orders. I don't have video of it, so…
- 1:36:20Testecleese: I suppose when that was.
- 1:36:23Testecleese: But the problem is insurrection.
- 1:36:26Testecleese: Is, like a 15-year prison sentence.
- 1:36:29Testecleese: Not a death sentence.
- 1:36:30Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:36:34Testecleese: Everyone says treason, but they don't know what treason is.
- 1:36:37Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:36:41Testecleese: Moji will don't know what treason is.
- 1:36:44Testecleese: Which is why, I mentioned to Brian earlier, but we mentioned down Periscope the other day, I had to watch the movie again.
- 1:36:52Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:36:52Testecleese: When they made Rob Schneider, the XO, walk the plank for attempted mutiny.
- 1:36:58Testecleese: I was like, oh man, this is great.
- 1:37:03Testecleese: Yeah, alright.
- 1:37:08Testecleese: China's building a new aircraft, and…
- 1:37:12Testecleese: People are trying to hype this up like it's gonna be a badass, but this is… this thing is trying to catch up to the 22 and 35 that's already been built by the United States. Meanwhile, the United States is already building the next generation of aircraft.
- 1:37:24Testecleese: So I don't see why Chinese air power
- 1:37:28Testecleese: Is even a conversation right now.
- 1:37:31Brian McFadden: Probably because of Taiwan.
- 1:37:36Testecleese: How about we just take everything that's good in Taiwan and… imported to the United States.
- 1:37:42Brian McFadden: Including the people?
- 1:37:44Testecleese: The people that know how to build the chips, and, you know, build the factories.
- 1:37:51Ron Pascoe: Everyone has dual funds?
- 1:37:53Testecleese: What's that?
- 1:37:53Ron Pascoe: You guys got the most warplanes. The US have got the most warplanes out of any other nation, haven't they?
- 1:37:59Testecleese: I think I'm all in China.
- 1:38:05Testecleese: Yeah, and our aircraft are way more advanced than theirs right now.
- 1:38:08Testecleese: They're getting ready to unveil their fourth gen.
- 1:38:12Ron Pascoe: Your aircraft carries more… more bloody,
- 1:38:15Ron Pascoe: Plains to what most countries have got.
- 1:38:18Testecleese: Yes, that's… that's actually true.
- 1:38:22Testecleese: It's actually kind of fucking crazy how many jets they could fit in a hangar bay.
- 1:38:27Brian McFadden: The hangar bays…
- 1:38:29Testecleese: Of an aircraft carrier.
- 1:38:32Testecleese: Because they fold the wings up, you know.
- 1:38:34Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:38:35Testecleese: And then they chain them down so they don't, you know, roll around when the ship moves.
- 1:38:40Testecleese: It was crazy on deployment when the jets were on… it was crazy on deployment, though. You go through the hangar bay.
- 1:38:46Testecleese: And you'd be weaving through jets.
- 1:38:50Ron Pascoe: We've got the 35s here.
- 1:38:51Ron Pascoe: Because I…
- 1:38:52Testecleese: Oh, they're nasty!
- 1:38:53Ron Pascoe: Oh, my…
- 1:38:55Brian McFadden: No, Saudi Arabia will soon have the 35s.
- 1:39:00Ron Pascoe: Yeah? Well, where we were, my airport, like, the military airport here, it's only probably about a 25-minute drive from where I live.
- 1:39:08Ron Pascoe: And people go and watch them take off, and I was parked across the road from a 35 taking off, sitting in my car.
- 1:39:14Ron Pascoe: And I could feel it, as it was taking.
- 1:39:17Testecleese: Oh, yeah.
- 1:39:20Testecleese: They can take off, then just all of a sudden go vertical, like a fucking rocket. They don't necessarily require lift, they have enough thrust.
- 1:39:28Ron Pascoe: Hola.
- 1:39:28Testecleese: It's crazy.
- 1:39:29Ron Pascoe: able to talk.
- 1:39:31Ron Pascoe: You can hear them, like, they've got that much power and grunt in them.
- 1:39:34Testecleese: Oh, did you guys… did they do air shows down there with them?
- 1:39:38Ron Pascoe: Yeah. I was wondering, like, through the other women in the business?
- 1:39:43Ron Pascoe: 20.
- 1:39:45Testecleese: You're all breaking up on that one, can you try again?
- 1:39:48Ron Pascoe: I want to see.
- 1:39:57Testecleese: Yeah, unfortunately, your signal's cutting in and out as you speak, and that's unfortunate, because, like, you got perfect video. Oh, of course, now you sound great. Try again now.
- 1:40:06Ron Pascoe: on.
- 1:40:08Ron Pascoe: Once you're up in Brisbane, they fly through the buildings and that, like the high-rises.
- 1:40:15Testecleese: Mmm.
- 1:40:16Ron Pascoe: You know, the bridges and that up there, like, oh, it's unbelievable.
- 1:40:21Testecleese: Yeah, if you get a chance to go to, like, one of the actual shows they do to demonstrate.
- 1:40:25Testecleese: I definitely would go… watching them break the sound barrier is nuts.
- 1:40:32Testecleese: And if they do.
- 1:40:34Testecleese: I recommend, they make them for your cell phone. You can clip them on little telephoto lenses.
- 1:40:41Testecleese: But you can zoom way in, and you might be able to catch an actual video of, like, the sound barrier being broken. It's always crazy.
- 1:40:50Testecleese: Oh, cameras are.
- 1:40:51Ron Pascoe: Full away.
- 1:40:52Testecleese: Way better.
- 1:40:56Testecleese: Meanwhile, anyway, talk about Chinese and American air power.
- 1:40:59Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:41:01Testecleese: South China Sea, the United States right now, is trying to pull, what is it, a 35 up from the ocean bed?
- 1:41:10Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:41:14Testecleese: they're worried about the Chinese getting their hands on this technology as they're developing their new, 4th gen fighters.
- 1:41:20Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:41:24Testecleese: Thing is, when I saw… This frickin' aircraft went in the water… months ago.
- 1:41:31Testecleese: Why are we just now getting on this? Was it a couldn't-find-it-again issue, or what?
- 1:41:36Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 1:41:42Testecleese: North Korea is back in the news!
- 1:41:47Testecleese: I believe, Brian, last time we talked about North Korea, they were, launching their new destroyer, weren't they?
- 1:41:54Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 1:41:55Testecleese: Give me your onus there. What happened to that ship?
- 1:41:58Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 1:42:00Testecleese: Oh, it capsized as soon as they launched it.
- 1:42:03Brian McFadden: Oh, good.
- 1:42:04Testecleese: Because they didn't have… they don't have dry docks like we do to just flood, you know? They actually slid down skids.
- 1:42:13Testecleese: But, the United States just did some training, war games, you know, workups.
- 1:42:22Testecleese: With South Korea.
- 1:42:25Testecleese: And it…
- 1:42:27Testecleese: it would at least look like, it's tough to tell, but it looks like North Korea had heard about this, found out, or whatever.
- 1:42:32Testecleese: And located two ships down near the southern part of their country. And one of them went out there to, like, basically cause shit in this exercise, and just disappeared.
- 1:42:44Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:42:44Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:42:46Ron Pascoe: Bye.
- 1:42:48Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:42:49Testecleese: No debris found, nothing, just like…
- 1:42:51Testecleese: Not even a, holy crap, we're under attack message, you know?
- 1:42:56Ron Pascoe: What the fuck was that?
- 1:42:59Testecleese: Yeah, well… Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- 1:43:08Testecleese: And if this ship just disappeared, and there's no report at all, it must have looked like magic.
- 1:43:15Brian McFadden: Pretty much, because the ship goes down, there's gonna be debris.
- 1:43:21Testecleese: Yeah, something floats, right?
- 1:43:23Brian McFadden: Huh? Shit floats.
- 1:43:26Ron Pascoe: Oil, what is it? Fuel, whatever they use.
- 1:43:30Ron Pascoe: Diesel?
- 1:43:33Testecleese: Probably, if it was… yeah, it was a destroyer and a cruiser, only one of them went out to go, gosh, shit.
- 1:43:39Testecleese: They'll probably tease away.
- 1:43:42Ron Pascoe: North Korea hasn't got technology, mate, they'd be still using diesel and shit.
- 1:43:46Testecleese: We still use diesel.
- 1:43:51Brian McFadden: So, Russian officials have rejected the U.S. peace plan, they're planning to stick to their war.
- 1:43:58Testecleese: Yeah, I don't know how much…
- 1:44:00Testecleese: negotiating the race to do with Putin, and then his advisors or whatever keep running their mouths about nuclear weapons.
- 1:44:08Testecleese: And how a nuclear war would last about 30… about 1 hour.
- 1:44:12Brian McFadden: Yeah, it won't last long.
- 1:44:15Brian McFadden: And we've got, Zelensky's associates, who's been accused of a $100 million Ukraine embezzlement scheme. He fled the country.
- 1:44:25Testecleese: Yeah, that sounds about right for Zelensky teams.
- 1:44:28Brian McFadden: I just want to point out Russia again. They keep talking all this trash about a nuclear conflict in the United States.
- 1:44:34Testecleese: Don't get me wrong, it would be devastating.
- 1:44:37Brian McFadden: For the United States.
- 1:44:40Testecleese: But…
- 1:44:41Brian McFadden: Words for Russia.
- 1:44:43Ron Pascoe: Oh, you're.
- 1:44:44Testecleese: Russia has to understand that, one,
- 1:44:50Testecleese: France would definitely deploy nuclear weapons.
- 1:44:54Testecleese: Who else is in NATO with nukes?
- 1:44:58Testecleese: Is England nuclear?
- 1:45:00Brian McFadden: No, I don't think you.
- 1:45:01Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:45:02Brian McFadden: They are.
- 1:45:02Ron Pascoe: poems… Yep.
- 1:45:04Brian McFadden: Okay. Paul's Dukes.
- 1:45:07Testecleese: Yeah, I'm just saying, there's a lot of nuclear weapons that are closer, and not to mention, you know as a fact, just as well as I do, Brian, there is a nuclear-equipped nuclear submarine sitting off the coast of Russia right now.
- 1:45:21Brian McFadden: Oh, always.
- 1:45:22Testecleese: Always. Always.
- 1:45:25Testecleese: Then, yeah, nuclear react… two… two nuclear reactors, if they get down to one.
- 1:45:31Brian McFadden: The boomers. There's always a… there's always a carrier…
- 1:45:36Brian McFadden: carrier battle group nearby Russia, and definitely subs, so…
- 1:45:40Testecleese: Yeah, exactly. There's always a nuclear attack sub out there that's running a nuclear power plants, so it runs silent.
- 1:45:46Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:45:48Testecleese: And just sits there and waits. It's all they do.
- 1:45:52Testecleese: So, like, you don't even have to wait for the missile to come to the United States, it's gonna come from your coast.
- 1:45:57Testecleese: To be there a lot quicker.
- 1:45:59Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:46:01Testecleese: You may not even have time to fire your entire arsenal before they're destroyed.
- 1:46:05Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:46:09Brian McFadden: And.
- 1:46:10Testecleese: What they can fire up in a couple minutes would destroy a lot of eastern coast United States and a lot of west coast United States.
- 1:46:18Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:46:19Testecleese: beer.
- 1:46:20Testecleese: Anyway, go ahead.
- 1:46:22Brian McFadden: In Africa, the Biden administration went to Nigeria to,
- 1:46:29Brian McFadden: negotiate terms to keep a base going there, and they pissed off the Nigerian government so much that we got kicked out of the country.
- 1:46:40Brian McFadden: And this was the base we used, it was a bunch of drone operators that we used, you know.
- 1:46:48Brian McFadden: Keep an eye on all the different terror groups in the area.
- 1:46:53Testecleese: Yum.
- 1:46:53Brian McFadden: Now we're blind, and more terrorists are doing things there.
- 1:46:58Testecleese: Yeah, because Biden guy showed up and said, oh, we're the United States, just let us do it.
- 1:47:04Brian McFadden: Right, they came in with their big feet, and their big mouth, and… Piss people off.
- 1:47:12Testecleese: Meanwhile, in Nigeria, A bunch of armed gunmen stormed into a church, and…
- 1:47:22Brian McFadden: It's not just any Catholic.
- 1:47:25Testecleese: Yeah, so I'll… Look, Catholics are known for their, spreading the word, right?
- 1:47:30Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:47:31Testecleese: But yeah, I went into a Catholic church and, like, abducted everyone.
- 1:47:37Testecleese: They're probably gonna be executed.
- 1:47:41Testecleese: I'm glad Trump at least brought up this Nigerian issue once.
- 1:47:47Testecleese: But… I think the word genocide is overused way too much.
- 1:47:51Testecleese: Killing hundreds is not a genocide. Trying to exterminate a type of people is a genocide.
- 1:47:57Brian McFadden: Well, mass shooting's only 5 people, so…
- 1:48:00Testecleese: No, but I'm saying, look, I'm sorry, Palestinian genocide. No, they weren't rounding up Palestinians and killing them for being Palestinian.
- 1:48:09Testecleese: Yes, many died in the conflict, but they weren't being rounded up and executed for that. These Christians are.
- 1:48:16Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:48:18Testecleese: That's the difference between the genocide.
- 1:48:20Brian McFadden: By who?
- 1:48:20Testecleese: mass casualties.
- 1:48:22Brian McFadden: Muslim?
- 1:48:23Testecleese: Webster!
- 1:48:27Ron Pascoe: But it's Muslim!
- 1:48:29Brian McFadden: Organizations that are doing it.
- 1:48:31Ron Pascoe: Yep, 100%.
- 1:48:34Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, they're trying to eradicate.
- 1:48:36Brian McFadden: I thought Muslim was a Christian… a peaceful… peaceful religion.
- 1:48:42Testecleese: Your average Muslim is.
- 1:48:47Brian McFadden: Problem is…
- 1:48:48Testecleese: It's… there's enough people that still believe in the radical stuff
- 1:48:53Testecleese: That we used to see 800 years ago from Christians.
- 1:48:58Testecleese: But Christians have moved past that.
- 1:49:07Testecleese: And I love it when people are like, oh, the Christians were never oppressed. I'm like, oh, for the love of God. You have no idea what you're talking about. Like, the Romans used to literally crucify them for miles along their roads.
- 1:49:17Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:49:17Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:49:18Testecleese: That's why… that's why the… the rabbit…
- 1:49:21Testecleese: is associated with the Easter, that's why it's called Easter.
- 1:49:25Testecleese: It's because they were hiding their religion from the Romans, and…
- 1:49:31Testecleese: They used Esther, which would be, like, you know, nature.
- 1:49:36Testecleese: And the rabbits… Oh my god. The rabbits are supposed to represent fertility.
- 1:49:43Testecleese: But we get high up in the Romans with… by worshiping nature.
- 1:49:49Testecleese: And then the egg was supposed to be new life.
- 1:49:52Testecleese: And that's why Christians decorate the eggs for Easter, is because life is beautiful.
- 1:49:59Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:50:01Testecleese: And all these were done to hide his pagan rituals, so the Romans wouldn't crucify them.
- 1:50:09Testecleese: So, just don't tell me that Christians were never persecuted. That's why the Crusades happened, was because of the conquests coming from the Muslims to begin with.
- 1:50:20Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:50:21Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:50:22Testecleese: Very lucky.
- 1:50:23Brian McFadden: What about Australia?
- 1:50:25Testecleese: Yeah, sure, I bring up this guy, his daughter's a…
- 1:50:29Brian McFadden: For adult content?
- 1:50:31Testecleese: Yeah, she appeared… she did a documentary. No, I think she did… I think she was part of the documentary, or was she one of the people documented? I don't know.
- 1:50:39Testecleese: Australian Nationals leader. What the fuck is the Australian Nationals?
- 1:50:45Ron Pascoe: It's like your… The… They're like a third party, they're like a country area party.
- 1:50:53Ron Pascoe: political party?
- 1:50:55Testecleese: Okay.
- 1:50:57Testecleese: Okay.
- 1:50:59Ron Pascoe: Liberal like you're Republicans.
- 1:51:04Ron Pascoe: So the Liberal Nationals, they've got a coalition.
- 1:51:07Ron Pascoe: Coalition of Federal and…
- 1:51:08Testecleese: Apparently, the leader of the party just stepped down.
- 1:51:13Ron Pascoe: the party up.
- 1:51:15Testecleese: Yeah, the party leader.
- 1:51:16Brian McFadden: The North South Wales Nationals leader, Dugal Saunders, has called a quiz less than 3 years in the job, a day after his 19-year-old daughter was featured in a documentary about the adult industry.
- 1:51:31Ron Pascoe: Wow, what's that mean?
- 1:51:37Ron Pascoe: That's… that's basically state par… state parliaments, like your governors sort of stuff.
- 1:51:42Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:51:44Ron Pascoe: And what it was, yeah, he, he had the backing in that, and the person who's taken over, like, basically getting our policy.
- 1:51:51Ron Pascoe: But the person took it on, they weren't even popular.
- 1:51:54Ron Pascoe: So, it's still like… They'll leave the door open for a comeback?
- 1:52:00Testecleese: Like…
- 1:52:01Brian McFadden: Como?
- 1:52:06Ron Pascoe: See, the thing is, at the moment, the Liberal Party, like your Republican Party here, they're not very well liked. They got smashed at last election.
- 1:52:15Ron Pascoe: They've got major internal bullshit going on. They're like the Democrats at the moment. They've got so much internal bullshit happening.
- 1:52:23Ron Pascoe: But, yeah, what happened…
- 1:52:24Testecleese: as I am allowed.
- 1:52:26Testecleese: The big problem I have with Australia, in terms of this kind of stuff, is,
- 1:52:33Testecleese: Your vote basically means very little.
- 1:52:37Testecleese: Yeah, I mean that because how many prime ministers have you guys had in the last 10 years?
- 1:52:43Ron Pascoe: Oh, I'm gonna confuse.
- 1:52:44Testecleese: 7 or 8?
- 1:52:45Ron Pascoe: form.
- 1:52:46Ron Pascoe: Yeah, 4 or 5, maybe 6.
- 1:52:50Testecleese: That seems… that seems out of control.
- 1:52:53Ron Pascoe: You vote for the party, whereas in America, you vote for the person that you want.
- 1:53:00Ron Pascoe: You know what I mean?
- 1:53:01Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:53:02Ron Pascoe: So, we only…
- 1:53:05Testecleese: do it.
- 1:53:07Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, mate, it's part of the British system. That's what we've still got.
- 1:53:11Ron Pascoe: What do we need in Australia? We need a strong third party.
- 1:53:17Ron Pascoe: And that's what we have got at the moment. We've got one coming through, it's called One Nation.
- 1:53:22Ron Pascoe: Think through.
- 1:53:23Ron Pascoe: But it's either Liberals or Labor, Liberal, Labor, Liberal, Labor, and you're getting the same shit all the time.
- 1:53:30Ron Pascoe: We just… we used to have a really strong party here. It was called the Democrats, actually, the Democrat Party.
- 1:53:36Ron Pascoe: But they were nothing like your Democrats. They were sort of like, lucky Libertarian Party.
- 1:53:44Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:53:44Testecleese: As little government involvement as possible.
- 1:53:47Ron Pascoe: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We could bleeder, Don Chip, he ended up stepping down. Once he stepped down, like, it all went to shit.
- 1:53:56Testecleese: Yeah, the problem we have with the libertarians is,
- 1:53:59Testecleese: The guys they… they run for office are always the wackadoos.
- 1:54:04Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:54:05Testecleese: I think you should be allowed to own slaves, or something stupid, you know what I mean?
- 1:54:11Ron Pascoe: But we had the Green Party come through, they saw the party their ass, and all the Greens are full of loonies, mate. All they want to do is fucking take the world back hundreds of years.
- 1:54:25Testecleese: I got a whole thing here with dumbass Republicans.
- 1:54:30Testecleese: I've been… I try to be as critical of government as possible.
- 1:54:38Ron Pascoe: Could it be?
- 1:54:39Testecleese: But, well, so, here's what I got to say about the Republicans that's actually upset me.
- 1:54:45Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:54:46Testecleese: Versus, I disagree with you.
- 1:54:50Testecleese: one, I'm not even actually upset with, Crenshaw.
- 1:54:55Testecleese: Being banned from international travel for, like, 4 months.
- 1:54:59Testecleese: Because it was a stupid reason.
- 1:55:02Brian McFadden: But I don't, I don't like Crenshaw.
- 1:55:05Testecleese: And he's the… he was a SEAL, right?
- 1:55:09Brian McFadden: Yes, he's XQL.
- 1:55:10Testecleese: Yeah. I expected more from a seal with a fucking eye patch, you know?
- 1:55:18Testecleese: But yeah, his travel ban was stupid. Like I said, he was out…
- 1:55:23Testecleese: in Mexico, doing something for his…
- 1:55:27Testecleese: War and terror are one of these organizations.
- 1:55:31Testecleese: Guy made an inappropriate joke about women. A woman nearby heard the joke, got offended that Crenshaw laughed at it.
- 1:55:42Testecleese: I was like, that's not a reason to ban someone. It's like, just because something's offensive doesn't mean it's not funny, right?
- 1:55:48Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:55:49Testecleese: And laughing is a reflex.
- 1:55:52Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:55:53Testecleese: Backstone and first LA.
- 1:55:56Testecleese: Let's be real here, like…
- 1:55:59Testecleese: Let's step back altogether, how much is the snow where you live, repeat offender?
- 1:56:05Ron Pascoe: But it is now we're all in.
- 1:56:07Testecleese: No snow, okay, so it doesn't freeze.
- 1:56:10Ron Pascoe: Well, it's cold, there's no snow, mate? Like, it's more down south or further inland.
- 1:56:15Testecleese: Okay.
- 1:56:16Brian McFadden: He's near the ocean that keeps the place warm.
- 1:56:20Testecleese: Yeah, yeah. Totally messed.
- 1:56:22Brian McFadden: I like Virginia, Virginia, where we don't get a ton of snow.
- 1:56:26Brian McFadden: Because the water…
- 1:56:29Brian McFadden: keeps the area from accumulating a ton of snow. Even when it does snow, it may last a day or two, and then it's gone.
- 1:56:36Testecleese: Okay, Brian, you're at least from cold area, and you understand the snow, right?
- 1:56:41Brian McFadden: I do.
- 1:56:43Testecleese: You're 25 years old with your buddies drinking beers in January in Michigan, right?
- 1:56:49Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:56:50Testecleese: Let's say you have a fire going, you listen to music, whatever.
- 1:56:53Testecleese: Your buddy slips, his feet come up over his head, he lands on his tailbone.
- 1:56:59Testecleese: Right?
- 1:57:00Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:57:02Testecleese: You and your friends are gonna point and laugh at him before you make sure he's okay, aren't you?
- 1:57:07Brian McFadden: dope.
- 1:57:08Testecleese: Most definitely. Now, if it's someone you don't know, you're probably gonna check on them first.
- 1:57:13Testecleese: But your buddy, you're pointing your laugh at him.
- 1:57:17Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:57:18Ron Pascoe: Man.
- 1:57:19Testecleese: And that's just a reflex, and you can't… the laughing's good, I was like, that was a stupid thing to do. You knew better, you know?
- 1:57:26Testecleese: The wife's terrible at this, because I always go check on someone first and then laugh.
- 1:57:31Testecleese: The wife's watched me get hurt before, and she just points and laughs, like, 3 minutes before she's like, oh, oh, apparently you're actually injured?
- 1:57:39Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:57:40Testecleese: PONE!
- 1:57:45Ron Pascoe: Got a compel breccia, sticking here.
- 1:57:49Testecleese: there's this one woman named Smith, or I think it was a woman, right? No, maybe it was a dude, I don't remember. It was a local government.
- 1:57:57Testecleese: Yeah, it's a woman. Four Arizona lawmaker.
- 1:58:03Testecleese: Oh, never mind.
- 1:58:04Testecleese: Austin Smith, it's just a different picture.
- 1:58:07Testecleese: Alright, he pled guilty.
- 1:58:10Testecleese: To forging names on a petition he had put out.
- 1:58:16Testecleese: I think this shit needs to be called out.
- 1:58:19Brian McFadden: Definitely.
- 1:58:21Testecleese: And that's why I'm so pissed off about what just happened with, this woman who was getting advice from Epstein, and the Republicans are like, oh, let's not call her out on it, because they'll call us out on our guy on this. No, call that asshole out, too.
- 1:58:35Ron Pascoe: Yeah, Plaskett.
- 1:58:36Ron Pascoe: This is where you should go.
- 1:58:40Testecleese: Even though Accenture means.
- 1:58:41Ron Pascoe: Nothing. Nothing should be scented.
- 1:58:47Testecleese: Oh, and this one is great.
- 1:58:49Ron Pascoe: I'm nice.
- 1:58:50Testecleese: Zuntai, she was a congressional, staff are in Jersey.
- 1:58:56Testecleese: She worked for a Republican congressman, and she faked an attack on her.
- 1:59:01Brian McFadden: on herself.
- 1:59:02Testecleese: Yeah, she wrote, like, Trump whore across her abdomen, and all sorts of stuff like that on her skin. Then she zip-tied her hands and her feet, and when people came to help her, she was screaming out, one of them had a gun!
- 1:59:18Testecleese: This is not helping your party, your arguments here, lady, you know?
- 1:59:22Ron Pascoe: No.
- 1:59:23Testecleese: No one cares who you are, you're some random broad who works for the guy running for office, you know?
- 1:59:31Testecleese: And…
- 1:59:31Ron Pascoe: oops.
- 1:59:32Testecleese: Any points you got from people you know because of this just got destroyed when you got busted for it.
- 1:59:38Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:59:41Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:59:42Ron Pascoe: Yeah, that Democrat congresswoman from Florida is… looking,
- 1:59:49Ron Pascoe: Pardon me, sorry guys, I'm just trying to hold back a sneeze. Five million dollars, apparently she embezzled from FEMA.
- 1:59:56Testecleese: I didn't see that.
- 1:59:58Ron Pascoe: 5 million she embezzled.
- 2:00:02Ron Pascoe: democratic performance.
- 2:00:04Testecleese: This is why we had no money to help out people with the hurricanes, and north Carolina?
- 2:00:11Ron Pascoe: We got up, we got up.
- 2:00:12Testecleese: Speaking of hurricanes… I'd just like to point out, Brian, that since
- 2:00:18Testecleese: It's been the Gulf of America.
- 2:00:21Testecleese: Not a single hurricane has had the balls to come into the Gulf, you notice that?
- 2:00:26Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're scared.
- 2:00:30Testecleese: Mind your business, bitches!
- 2:00:36Testecleese: Alright, anything else you want to talk about, Ania?
- 2:00:42Testecleese: I know, right?
- 2:00:44Brian McFadden: Mmm…
- 2:00:45Testecleese: Well, the guy in Florida who got shot with a shotgun by his dog?
- 2:00:50Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, that was funny.
- 2:00:55Testecleese: I'll read any article that starts with Florida, man, let's be real.
- 2:01:04Brian McFadden: You do…
- 2:01:05Testecleese: Dude, don't you?
- 2:01:06Brian McFadden: Yeah, apparently,
- 2:01:08Brian McFadden: this guy, he put his gun down on his bed, and didn't properly unload it, or put it on safety, and when the dog jumped…
- 2:01:18Testecleese: Locked, locked, loaded, and frickin' on, on fire.
- 2:01:23Brian McFadden: And when the dog jumped on the bed, he said he was cleaning his firearm. You don't clean the firearm with the web… with it loaded.
- 2:01:33Testecleese: Yeah, how do you clean it if it's loaded?
- 2:01:35Brian McFadden: You don't!
- 2:01:39Testecleese: Oh yeah, his dog blasted him with a shotgun, at point-blank range.
- 2:01:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, into his lower back.
- 2:01:45Ron Pascoe: Oh.
- 2:01:46Ron Pascoe: Oh, no.
- 2:01:49Testecleese: It had to be, like, a 16 gauge or a 20 gauge, like, for, like, duck hunting or something, I'm guessing, like, migratory birds?
- 2:01:57Brian McFadden: Probably. It says shotgun, so…
- 2:02:00Testecleese: Yeah, well, any shotgun's nasty, like a 12-gauge would have just blown a hole through his freakin' kidneys, his liver, and his spine, you know, at that range.
- 2:02:08Brian McFadden: The shooting appears to be accidental! The dog planned it all out! He was going for the.
- 2:02:18Testecleese: Just waiting, just waiting.
- 2:02:20Brian McFadden: That's right.
- 2:02:23Testecleese: Any article that starts with Florida Man, I'm like, oh, this would be good.
- 2:02:28Brian McFadden: Yup, yep.
- 2:02:30Ron Pascoe: Oh, yo.
- 2:02:32Brian McFadden: I shared that article, so…
- 2:02:34Testecleese: Wow, man.
- 2:02:36Ron Pascoe: Army? In the Army, in the Able Office with, Donald Trump.
- 2:02:43Testecleese: Yeah, we talked about that.
- 2:02:44Brian McFadden: We'll cover it briefly, yeah.
- 2:02:47Ron Pascoe: We just kiss each other.
- 2:02:48Testecleese: asses, and that was pretty much it.
- 2:02:51Brian McFadden: reporter said, he goes, oh, do you still think the president's a fascist?
- 2:02:55Ron Pascoe: Donald Trump's… and he's trying to explain, he goes, you can say yes if you want. President Trump, he goes, you can say yes if you want, it's easier than explaining.
- 2:03:06Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, sitting right next to him was like, I'm not gonna stop ya.
- 2:03:11Ron Pascoe: Yes, you're playing it.
- 2:03:14Testecleese: Mom Donnie was there to ask for money to help New York fund all the shit he promised.
- 2:03:19Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 2:03:20Testecleese: Zipola, so you want… You want money from the taxpayers of West Virginia.
- 2:03:25Testecleese: To pay for the shit you promised in New York City?
- 2:03:30Testecleese: And he doesn't seem to see a problem with that logic.
- 2:03:34Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:03:37Testecleese: You know, why is Wyoming paying for the buses in New York City?
- 2:03:43Ron Pascoe: Oh, good.
- 2:03:48Testecleese: Anyway, Brian, I think that's about it.
- 2:03:50Brian McFadden: I think that's it?
