• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: And I, I think I got
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: I made a lot of headway this week.
• 3:29
  I know I made a lot of headway this week because yesterday I
• 3:33
  started the day where
• 3:34
  I could do a text post to Substack Blue Sky and Threads like I
• 3:40
  could write a post
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: and it'll distribute out to Substack Blue Sky and Threads.
• 3:45
  I can also do image posting and video posting and after an
• 3:49
  episode our clips the
• 3:51
  clips distribute out and so I get clips distributed from this
• 3:54
  so after this all the
• 3:55
  clips will auto distribute to blue sky and threads well
• 3:59
  yesterday I got instagram
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: onboarded for video posting and
• 4:07
  I unblocked Substack video auto video posting I finally figured
• 4:12
  out how to fucking
• 4:13
  get around whatever block that they had because they don't have
• 4:17
  an API so I can't
• 4:18
  do anything programmatically and I finally got around the damn
• 4:23
  block yesterday and
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: so I posted a couple video clips last night onSubstack
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: All those video clips were auto-posted.
• 4:33
  So they're from an episode that was either beginning of the
• 4:36
  week or earlier in the day.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so now after every show,
• 4:41

• 5:31
  about sports today I
• 5:33
  know that we usually talk a lot about politics there he is
• 5:37
  there I am you mentioned
• 5:39
  all the work that you do with Lev and everything but you said
• 5:43
  that you got to meet
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: Hunter Biden last week because of the work that you were doing with them
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: Did you get to talk to him at all?
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: Was he cool?
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: I got to talk to him for a couple minutes.
• 5:54
  I didn't really talk a lot with him because I was in the
• 5:57
  background and he didn't
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: have a ton of time,
• 6:00
  but I got to help set up the show and talk with him and discuss
• 6:03
  with him about it.
• 6:05
  like he's a cool dude he seems like he was surprisingly cool
• 6:10
  like I had I came in
• 6:11
  there with no preconceived notions like I didn't care I knew he
• 6:15
  had a past I knew
• 6:16
  things have gone on in his life he's a person he's had issues I
• 6:19
  know he's been
• 6:20
  attacked relentlessly yeah but it was I just went in and I was
• 6:25
  like I want to I
• 6:26
  want to know who this guy is as a person and I don't want to
• 6:29
  come in with this
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: notion that he's someone that I think or don't think he is
• 6:35
  he's just a cool dude like he is a powerful cool dude yeah all
• 6:41
  the interviews I've
• 6:42
  seen he seems like it and I mean it comes down to I think he
• 6:46
  was raised by good
• 6:47
  people and yeah I think he was a sense of service and a sense
• 6:50
  of like humanity and
• 6:52
  stuff I and that's a lot to fucking overcome man that's a lot
• 6:57
  for anybody to not
• 6:58
  only overcome addiction like that and have such a good
• 7:01
  perspective on it but also
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: you've become
• 7:06
  not only overcome addiction for an entire movement but thrive
• 7:11
  after addiction like
• 7:13
  yeah he's thriving in a positive way and yeah he's got issues
• 7:19
  like our friend Kat
• 7:20
  RN said in the chat we've all got issues he's not as bad as
• 7:23
  they tried to make him
• 7:24
  out he's nowhere near as bad as anybody tried to make him out
• 7:29
  that I could see at
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: least in my 30 minutes of being in the same discussion area with him um
• 7:36
  he's very earnest sounding he's very eloquent he knows how to
• 7:42
  use his words and he
• 7:44
  knows words mean things and he's radically open about how he
• 7:51
  talks and I think
• 7:52
  that's because he's gone through recovery and I applaud him for
• 8:01
  the efforts he's
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: doing and what he's working
• 8:06
  on and i'm hoping it can lead to maybe me getting an interview
• 8:09
  with him so that i
• 8:11
  can get him on say the intelligent masculinity series or
• 8:14
  something like that where
• 8:15
  we can talk about what it's been like to recover from addiction
• 8:19
  how do you move
• 8:20
  forward in life um what do you do what was it like in addiction
• 8:26
  um and how has his
• 8:28
  life changed so it was really cool and i'm hoping i get to talk
• 8:31
  to him more um
• 8:33
  I'm proud of you Jim Acosta if you want to come on for a show
• 8:36
  we'll be happy to
• 8:37
  have you I think that'd be really interesting yeah for sure I
• 8:40
  think that'd be
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: really interesting
• 9:04
  I saw somebody like just reposted the clip of Trump yelling at
• 9:07
  him on threads the
• 9:08
  other day and like the whole thing got renewed when he like
• 9:12
  took away his press
• 9:13
  pass and all that what a baby yeah I know right you ready to
• 9:18
  talk some sports today
• 9:19
  baby yeah man what's going like I hear there's a couple big
• 9:24
  sporting events going
• 9:25
  on right now I know the NBA finals that one's a recurring one
• 9:29
  and we always get
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: that every year
• 9:31
  and the knicks holy shit man dude they haven't been in the
• 9:36
  finals in like i think
• 9:37
  it's 30 something years and new york's going crazy we obviously
• 9:43
  saw the whole thing
• 9:44
  with trump showing up to the game and getting booed and falling
• 9:50
  asleep during the
• 9:50
  middle of the game i saw too he had to he was like eating pizza
• 9:54
  in the suite that
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: he was in and he had to like use two hands to push it up and
• 10:00
  it's crazy one of the things that I know that Nick's fans are
• 10:04
  super excited they're
• 10:05
  up three to one right now in the series so they win one more
• 10:10
  game it's over but
• 10:13
  there has been a bunch of shitty stuff surrounding it like
• 10:18
  there were a bunch of
• 10:19
  videos on threads the other day and it goes into the whole
• 10:23
  young men not having any
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: purpose and stuff like that but
• 10:27
  they get an opportunity where they're excited about something
• 10:30
  Trump was outside
• 10:32
  Trump was at the game so it canceled the watch party for um
• 10:37
  what was it game three
• 10:39
  and um the Knicks fans were pissed like all the young Knicks
• 10:45
  fans it ended up with
• 10:47
  just massive assaults and what I would call like attempted
• 10:51
  murders outside of
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: Madison Square Garden with like just
• 10:56
  People just trying to leave the game in Spurs jerseys and stuff
• 10:59
  and we're getting
• 10:59
  attacked by mobs of people like ripping the jerseys off and
• 11:03
  like stomping people
• 11:04
  out and stuff it it's a lot dude and yeah it just goes to show
• 11:11
  how pissed everybody
• 11:12
  was at trump like for the extra security the canceling of the
• 11:18
  watch party and stuff
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: but yeah there's a lot going on around it
• 11:25
  Well that and the game that Trump showed up at they lost Yeah
• 11:30
  and then Taylor Swift
• 11:31
  shows up to this one and they win T-Swift showing up to things
• 11:36
  normally is a good
• 11:38
  sign for a lot of stuff but yeah Trump like Trump ruins
• 11:46
  everything he touches he
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: has to make it about him it's the thing too like
• 11:55
  the Knicks game turned in the MSG game turned into Trump into
• 12:03
  what was Trump there
• 12:05
  for and it was nothing about the basketball game it wasn't
• 12:07
  about like the players
• 12:10
  it wasn't about the fans it was all about Trump and he was
• 12:14
  trying to make it about
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: him and I'm glad he did and I'm glad they lost yeah like
• 12:23
  Sorry,
• 12:23
  Nick's fans,
• 12:24
  but I'm glad you lost that game because Trump doesn't deserve
• 12:29
  happiness.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_02: No, not at all.
• 12:31
  He doesn't deserve to go to a sport,
• 12:33
  to a game,
• 12:34
  to an event and get joy out of it.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't deserve any of that shit.
• 12:40
  His happiness level should be zero and we should never let him
• 12:45
  go in the public in peace.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: He's the president.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: We get to use our bully pulpit against him.
• 12:52
  like we get to use our citizen pulpit against him and I think
• 12:58
  people really showed
• 12:59
  that at the Knicks game like one it's a very it's a fairly
• 13:05
  moderate to progressive
• 13:06
  area for a lot of things anyway and they know him too they've
• 13:11
  known him as a
• 13:12
  businessman before he was president so they've got a special
• 13:15
  hate in their heart
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: for him yeah yeah there's a special hate in their heart for for Trump um
• 13:23
  and then on top of all of this we're in the World Cup or we're
• 13:27
  soon to be in the
• 13:27
  World Cup or whatever's happening with the World Cup and a
• 13:31
  Somali referee yes was
• 13:35
  just denied access to our country who was he would have been
• 13:40
  the first referee from
• 13:41
  Somalia he was he's was labeled as an incredible referee what's
• 13:48

  SPEAKER_01: Hey, what's up, Eric?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: How are you doing, man?
• 14:42
  how about that I don't know where'd you guys leave off before I
• 14:44
  jumped in we were
• 14:47
  just yeah just starting about the world cup and the Somali
• 14:50
  referee who just got oh
• 14:52
  that we all should be boycotting watching the world cup because
• 14:55
  this administration
• 14:56
  can't allow somebody from what they call a shithole country in
• 15:00
  because he's a
• 15:00
  referee please yeah I was so excited for this world cup too
• 15:04
  like yeah me too but I
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: I just you know what
• 15:08
  you got you got the NHL playoffs you got the NBA you got the
• 15:11
  NBA finals the NHL
• 15:12
  finals you know I mean I know World Cup is World Cup but when
• 15:19
  you start when you're
• 15:21
  discriminatory as a country and preventing certain athletes and
• 15:24
  referees from
• 15:25
  coming in it kind of doesn't make you real proud to be an
• 15:28
  American because it's not
• 15:29
  what we stand for it's never been our it's never been our it's
• 15:33
  never been our thing
• 15:35
  and we're so and we're we're we're doing like all these
• 15:40
  unnecessary screenings and
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: ice checks of players and that's what I was like so stupid
• 15:52
  was it the Somali team I saw something before the news came out
• 15:55
  about the referee
• 15:56
  that I don't know if it was the Somali team or someone else but
• 16:01
  they were like
• 16:01
  getting off the plane and they were doing like full searches of
• 16:04
  them and yeah it's
• 16:06
  just funny wasn't the whole purpose of the World Cup wasn't the
• 16:10
  whole purpose of
• 16:10
  the World Cup was to bring the world together in sport just
• 16:13
  like the Olympics
• 16:15
  Like I mean this is I mean understand okay fine you want to
• 16:17
  screen and you want
• 16:18
  security and I get all that right but this is really this is
• 16:23
  just not acceptable
• 16:24
  these people aren't staying and and you know this isn't like
• 16:28
  apartheid South Africa
• 16:29
  where the whole team's gonna immediately you know appeal for a
• 16:32
  political asylum and
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: stay but it's it's not I don't know I I just
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: it's just another reason it's it's another reason they hate this fucking
• 16:41
  administration and to be embarrassed for who we become as a
• 16:44
  country and that we're
• 16:44
  even we're even tolerating this shit and it's the biggest sport
• 16:49
  on the world it's
• 16:50
  the biggest sport in the world and the World Cup is like the
• 16:54
  world stage coming to
• 16:55
  our country and so it like if you had Obama or Biden or whoever
• 17:00
  it's an opportunity
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: to show essentially the world
• 17:04
  Even like we're not the biggest soccer country but to show them
• 17:07
  like the diversity
• 17:08
  and the acceptance of other countries and the promotion of them
• 17:13
  and their ability
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: to sport and everything and
• 17:17
  what do we get we get ice assholes as soon as they come off the
• 17:20
  plane I mean what
• 17:21
  are they gonna what are they gonna do start shooting are they
• 17:23
  gonna do shooting
• 17:24
  soccer shooting other nations football teams when they get when
• 17:26
  they come here
• 17:27
  because they're you know because they they I mean can you
• 17:31
  imagine that if that shit
• 17:32
  fucking went down to be honest imagine yes I can um and two I
• 17:39
  can I'm almost more
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: con I I'm almost more concerned that
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: The goal is to not let them leave after.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: And arrest them.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: And arrest them.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: Or yank their visas mid-tournament.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and start detaining them.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: Because Trump is going to do anything to find a way to make it about him.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: And if he can find a way to make a mediocre U.S. men's national team
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't
• 18:47
  and what a waste of a fucking opportunity for us like what a
• 18:50
  waste of a boost to
• 18:52
  the economy and yeah a massive boost to our economy like a
• 18:58
  World Cup event is a
• 18:59
  Super Bowl event per city like we are bringing the Super Bowl
• 19:05
  per city multiple
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: times yeah and we're just like nah fuck that
• 19:12
  yeah and i want to say that like international travel to the us
• 19:16
  was already down
• 19:17
  like people were canceling vacations after trump got into
• 19:20
  office and everything and
• 19:22
  yeah it's like an olympic size level event across the country
• 19:26
  and we're completely
• 19:27
  missing out on that it's it's horrible and on top of that it's
• 19:32
  like a huge boost to
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: the economy because
• 19:36
  you don't you don't necessarily have to build the
• 19:38
  infrastructure like you would for
• 19:39
  the Olympics in like one city you just have soccer stadiums
• 19:43
  across the country that
• 19:44
  would draw tens even hundreds of thousands of international
• 19:49
  fans to come see their

• 22:54
  everywhere and every
• 22:57
  game that he goes to is gonna be the worst of the events

• 23:08
  able to get into
• 23:09
  their games like there's gonna be games that fans pay for and

  SPEAKER_01: there we go he won't give a shit because it'll be all about him
• 23:23

• 23:27
  trophy or he's going to find a way to make FIFA give him
• 23:31
  another stupid ass fucking
• 23:33
  medal of some sort because FIFA is just as corrupt and you know
• 23:40
  it's going to be
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: all about corruption that's what it is
• 23:43
  Um I'm looking right now I think we all need to make
• 23:46
  predictions I don't know a
• 23:48
  goddamn thing about soccer I don't know I don't know I don't
• 23:52
  know I cannot express
• 23:53
  that enough I don't know anything about soccer But I think
• 23:57
  we've got to make We
• 23:59
  each need to make a prediction Because I've got the odds pulled
• 24:03
  up right now And it
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: looks like Spain's the favorite at plus 450
• 24:10
  We got France at plus 475 England at plus 650 Portugal at plus
• 24:15
  800 Brazil at 850
• 24:18
  and Argentina at 950 so that's kind of like the rundown of who
• 24:23
  the favorites are I
• 24:25
  want Mexico or Canada to win I know right I want the finals to
• 24:33
  be Mexico versus
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Canada Could you imagine if Canada won Oh my god
• 24:38
  I don't know what they look like either one I would love that
• 24:42
  but Evan who's your
• 24:43
  pick I'm not going with Argentina because fuck them they're the
• 24:50
  defending champions
• 24:51
  though I'm gonna say I like the Argentina football team I love
• 24:55
  I like the Argentina
• 24:56
  football team they would be my either them or Brazil would be
• 25:00
  my two that I would
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: go to you gotta pick one normal but Canada or Mexico
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I want.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: I know they're not going to win, but that's who I want.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to say Argentina.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'll say Argentina.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going Portugal.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll put money on it too.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'll back it up.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'll put like $10 on it or something.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: Argentina doesn't have Messi.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_00: But Evan, I'll take that bet.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: Portugal?
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm taking you with Portugal.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: I, however...
• 25:37
  Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro
• 25:44
  Nick Paro Nick Paro
• 25:45
  Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro Nick Paro
• 25:49
  Nick Paro Nick Paro
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Nick Paro Nick
• 26:07
  but yeah it'll probably be it'll be Argentina Spain or Portugal
• 26:11
  will probably win
• 26:12
  but you also you know what it is you guys didn't look at you
• 26:14
  guys didn't look at
• 26:14
  the group pairings how they're paired in the groups makes all
• 26:17
  the difference in the
• 26:18
  world because if you can if you can see the so the so basically
• 26:23
  guys just so you
• 26:23
  guys know the US Canada and Mexico did not have to qualify
• 26:28
  because they're the host
• 26:29
  because CONCACAF is the host organization so they automatically
• 26:32
  got bids into the
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_00: World Cup for this year okay
• 26:37
  So,
• 26:38
  and the U.S.
• 26:39
  would not have qualified on their previous,
• 26:43
  based on their...
• 26:47
  No,
• 26:47
  I doubt it.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, and then the French won.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_00: The French actually lost to Spain in the Euro, in the Euro Cup.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: So, that's why.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_00: But don't forget the Japanese.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: The Japanese have a really good team.
• 27:07
  Japanese the Germans yeah the English all the premier you know
• 27:13
  a lot of those teams
• 27:14
  in Europe have premier league players so you know so looking at
• 27:20
  some of these
• 27:20
  groups let's say England they're in group L they've got England
• 27:24
  Croatia Ghana and
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: Panama that's going to be the Croatians because Croatia is
• 27:31
  always good and Ghana is typically a dark horse that always
• 27:35
  comes out of nowhere so
• 27:37
  England might England might not come out of the group no I
• 27:42
  could see Croatia and
• 27:43
  Ghana come out of that group I could see them give trouble to
• 27:48
  anyone because they
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_01: always are a little bit they always give a little bit of trouble to folks
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_01: Portugal's gonna swipe their group
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_02: I just got a text that said the U.S. men's national team fucking sucks.
• 28:02
  They do.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's because they do.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: They'll be lucky if they get one point in group play.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're that bad?
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: They have no offense.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: We've been so bad forever.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's because kids in the United States are not groomed to play soccer.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: They're groomed to play football, baseball, basketball.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, track and field.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_02: What was the last great U.S. team?
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_02: Was it the women's team?
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, men's team, the last great men's team was 98.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: When was it that the women won the World Cup?
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, I'm going to say 2016.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_01: The women have won multiple.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think the women won the last World Cup.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because they had that run with like Hope Solo and all of them.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: They won like five, I think.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_01: Five or six.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: Let me double check.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_02: What was the one that I'm thinking of?
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: Who was it?
• 28:55
  Brandy Carla no who's the lady that like ripped her jersey off
• 28:59
  I know that that was
• 29:01
  Brandy Chastain Brandy Chastain that's what it was right but
• 29:04
  that was but that was
• 29:05
  the group that had Meg Han and had the prolific glow scoring
• 29:11
  and they were they
• 29:12
  were like unstoppable but that was when women's soccer really
• 29:15
  started picking up in
• 29:16
  the world so the world has now got caught up with the US
• 29:20
  players because the USWL
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: college play
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: you know so the rest of the world's catching up so the U.S.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_00: is you know listen women's it's like women it's right it's like U.S.
• 29:30
  women's tennis is so much better than the men's tennis although
• 29:35
  the French Open was
• 29:36
  really awesome this year because the so many of the top tier
• 29:39
  seeds got knocked out
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: early which made the French Open wide open
• 29:43
  and so we don't pay attention enough I know as a society we
• 29:47
  don't but the WNBA has
• 29:49
  gotten better but women's sports has been great for a long time
• 29:53
  in this country and
• 29:54
  they don't get enough fucking credit for it like no they don't
• 29:58
  and they're not
• 29:58
  getting the money either Serena Williams still got that glass
• 30:00
  ceiling yeah I didn't
• 30:03
  see her second round yeah I didn't see her second round match
• 30:06
  but they her and her
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: partner took out the three seed in the first round of the uh Queens Open
• 30:12
  the queen's club championship so you know you still had it she
• 30:17
  still was hitting
• 30:18
  120 on the radar at 44 years old so that's fucking crazy man
• 30:23
  it's it's just the
• 30:25
  athletic you know it's just crazy so I know we were talking in
• 30:29
  the chat before we
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_01: go
• 30:35
  I just I just want to keep bringing it back to like the fact
• 30:37
  that like sports can
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: always be the great equalizer between men and women as far as sharing the
• 30:43
  experience without being an asshole mm-hmm like you don't have
• 30:48
  to be like you can
• 30:48
  go and share a sporting event with your significant other your
• 30:52
  wife your girlfriend
• 30:53
  even even your platonic girlfriends and have a really good time
• 30:57
  you know it's it's
• 30:58
  a form of entertainment and it's it doesn't have to be this
• 31:02
  manospheric bump your
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_00: chest
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_00: Get Drunk, Be Stupid, you know, cursing at the, you know, curse.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's a form of entertainment.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: We have to remember that.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: and you can like,
• 31:16
  and it's good to be able to sit back and like players from any
• 31:20
  of the teams,
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: from the men's team,
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: the women's team.
• 31:24
  And we should be aiming towards having more just openness in
• 31:30
  sports anyway,
• 31:33
  because,
• 31:33
  you know,
• 31:37
  the bullshit trans issues that keep getting brought in because
• 31:41
  people want to play
• 31:42
  sports and that's bullshit for us not letting them play and we
• 31:45
  have co-ed leagues
• 31:46
  and we have other leagues everywhere like we do all sorts of
• 31:50
  things let people
• 31:51
  fucking play the sports and if they're if they are the
• 31:57
  presenting the gender that
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_01: is of that team I
• 32:04
  I don't see it as a differentiator I mean here's the thing
• 32:10
  right it's and I and I
• 32:13
  have no experience with transgender sports I'm not I'm just I'm
• 32:16
  speaking yeah and I
• 32:18
  had no personal experience either right so I'm just gonna go
• 32:22
  off this is personal
• 32:22
  opinion but like it doesn't matter if you're transgender or not
• 32:26
  you have to execute
• 32:28
  Period you have to have enough skill level in the sport that
• 32:31
  you're playing to
• 32:33
  execute whatever you have to do whether it's in basketball
• 32:37
  whether it's pickleball
• 32:38
  professional pickleball professional tennis now yes is there a
• 32:41
  strength advantage
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: in certain sports
• 32:44
  Yes but you still have to execute like I don't care if you
• 32:47
  serve if you're a male
• 32:48
  playing women's tennis and you serve at 135 140 miles an hour
• 32:52
  like most of the men
• 32:53
  do you still got to put the ball over the net and get it into
• 32:56
  the service box like
• 32:57
  it doesn't you still have to execute right and in the same
• 33:02
  thing whether it's
• 33:02
  basketball or hockey it doesn't you have to execute the sport
• 33:06
  and it's not about
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: the gender because I've seen women pro pickleball players
• 33:11
  Brush the men look at the number one player in the world right
• 33:13
  now annalee waters
• 33:15
  literally can take down any guy in singles literally and and it
• 33:21
  has nothing to do
• 33:21
  with gender and skill level national team u.s women's national
• 33:25
  soccer team could
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_01: probably wipe the floor with the men you know well
• 33:32
  you know this is like that old argument we used to have this
• 33:34
  argument we were
• 33:34
  growing up member with with the men's national national
• 33:38
  championship collegiate
• 33:39
  football team ever beat the worst NFL team and the answer is no
• 33:43
  because of strength
• 33:44
  and size and speed that the NFL players are a whole different
• 33:47
  level than that of
• 33:49
  college it's a whole tier different and I'm not saying that
• 33:52
  women the women's
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: national team couldn't beat the men but it's a different game
• 33:56
  see I see this is where I think it isn't because I think soccer
• 34:01
  is slightly
• 34:02
  different in from some sports in soccer is different that the
• 34:07
  best ball isn't it is
• 34:09
  a very equalized field of play and it is very much you have to
• 34:14
  be the best at what
• 34:15
  you do to make that team and the women's teams are the women's
• 34:21
  national team is
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_01: better
• 34:24
  Hands Down Skill Wise Their Players Tend To Be Better They Are
• 34:27
  More Professional
• 34:29
  They Are More Fluent In Their Skills Because They Have Trained
• 34:35
  Harder And They Have
• 34:37
  Worked Their Asses Off Just To Get The Recognition That They Do
• 34:41
  And So I Think The
• 34:42
  Wim Just Based On Their Skill Level If It Was A Skill By Skill
• 34:46
  Level I Think The
• 34:46
  Women Would Wipe The Floor With The Men's Team I Mean Look At
• 34:50
  Look At What Happened
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_00: With Billy Jean King And Bobby Riggs
• 34:55
  all those years ago when she and she beat him right but it even
• 35:00
  though Bobby Briggs
• 35:01
  was hitting the ball harder you know it came down to skill
• 35:04
  level you know and
• 35:07
  there's certain sports where that can equalize down that's why
• 35:11
  you see a lot of you
• 35:11
  know tennis there's mixed doubles and you know it's just I
• 35:15
  think there's certain
• 35:15
  sports like depending on the physicality of the sport it
• 35:19
  doesn't you know right and
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying and I'm not saying that you
• 35:26
  and none of this is about like oh women can't play in sports or
• 35:29
  trans folks can't
• 35:30
  play in sports or men are better at sports this is just on a
• 35:35
  biological level there
• 35:37
  are differences and the way that we play our sports and the way
• 35:42
  that we have our
• 35:43
  sports ruled anyways are very different and that's an unfair
• 35:48
  thing that we have
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_01: done is we have created women's sports in this like bubble of
• 35:55
  Safety and Softness like look at women's lacrosse they can't
• 35:59
  fucking check each
• 35:59
  other or women's hockey you can't check each other yes you can
• 36:03
  you ever see the
• 36:04
  women's hockey team not in the same way not in the same way
• 36:06
  that men do go go watch
• 36:08
  the go watch when I was in high school when I was in high
• 36:11
  school it was different
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_01: it was very at least on the high school level it was very different
• 36:16
  The Girls Can't Touch Each Other It Was Girls Don't Hit Girls
• 36:19
  Like Field Hockey
• 36:20
  Girls Don't Touch Each Other But In The Real Games They Fucking
• 36:24
  Do Like I've Seen
• 36:25
  Field Hockey And I've Seen Men's Field Hockey And Holy Shit
• 36:29
  Those Guys Are Violent
• 36:31
  Like Men's Lacrosse Yeah Same Thing There's A Different
• 36:34
  Violence Level And I Think
• 36:36
  That's Really Where The Difference Lies In My Opinion Is Men's
• 36:40
  Sports Tend To Be
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_01: Much More Violent
• 36:43
  in how they're played compared to women's sports which tend to
• 36:46
  be much more fluid
• 36:48
  and skill-based I'm not gonna yeah but I mean like case in
• 36:55
  point just look at the
• 36:56
  NBA Finals right look at last night's game look at how physical
• 37:00
  like I'm gonna tell
• 37:00
  you right now like Jalen Brunson is beat up after every game
• 37:05
  yeah yeah he is
• 37:06
  physically I mean he was dragging at the six minute mark of the
• 37:10
  fourth quarter from
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_00: all the physical defensive play
• 37:14
  but like it's just but that's a different level of an athlete
• 37:18
  at that point where
• 37:19
  you find that next year you find that next level at that level
• 37:23
  I mean that was just
• 37:24
  epic by the way for those of you that did not see the game last
• 37:27
  night the Knicks
• 37:27
  were down 29 points in the second half at the end of the
• 37:30
  biggest comeback in finals
• 37:31
  history yeah it was or you could say it was the biggest
• 37:34
  collapse in that game
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: finals history yeah right but like I mean
• 37:42
  That Was But To Watch The New York Crowd The Last Six Minutes
• 37:47
  Of That Crowd Going
• 37:55
  Crazy The People Standing Courtside You Know They Were Standing
• 37:59
  At Courtside I Mean
• 38:00
  You Hadn't Seen That In Years In New York City During MSG You
• 38:05
  Don't See That But
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: That Was That Game Will Go Down And Is Probably One Of The
• 38:12
  top new york nick games of all time yeah and i think that
• 38:17
  period when stuff's like
• 38:19
  that when there's this much attention around it and this much
• 38:22
  excitement especially
• 38:24
  even if it's only from nicks fans i think it's good for the
• 38:26
  entire country that oh
• 38:28
  huge that it's like a cultural moment where we don't have to
• 38:32
  think about the and we
• 38:33
  don't have to pay attention to it and the best part was is they
• 38:35
  did it when trump
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_02: wasn't there yeah exactly lost the game that he was there
• 38:40
  Right just like everything he touches dies so they blew game
• 38:43
  three Like I said
• 38:45
  sorry Nick fans but I'm glad you lost game three Yeah I mean I
• 38:50
  don't know who would
• 38:51
  have what do you think the conversation would be today if they
• 38:54
  had lost game four
• 38:55
  and got blown out and that 29 point lead held and they lost by
• 38:58
  20 25 30 whatever
• 39:00
  now we're talking about the curse of the Cinnabon right instead
• 39:06
  of the curse of the
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_00: Bambino it's the curse of the Cinnabon
• 39:09
  and he was probably pissed that it was I guarantee you he was
• 39:13
  pissed that Taylor
• 39:14
  Swift showed up and they won and everything oh yeah he hates
• 39:17
  her already oh I mean
• 39:19
  listen I the pageantry and royalty of that what came out for
• 39:24
  New York Knicks
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_00: basketball this week
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_00: at MSG was just, it's what you want to see.
• 39:30
  It's the same pageantry that you see at the US Open in Flushing
• 39:35
  Meadows,
• 39:35
  right?
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same type of gallantry,
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_00: but,
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_00: you don't see them needing all this extra security for,
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: Johnny Mac and Ben Stiller and Timothee Chalamet.
• 39:46
  I mean,
• 39:46
  they've got their personal bodyguards,
• 39:47
  but,
• 39:47
  like,
• 39:48
  they're sitting...
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_01: They need all this extra security for former President Obama.
• 39:54
  Oh no and then well he never went to a finals game but he went
• 39:56
  to a final four and
• 39:58
  he didn't need he didn't need all that extra security but it's
• 40:01
  always at a larger
• 40:02
  venue parties right they never canceled watch parties but it
• 40:05
  was always the final
• 40:07
  four is always held like at a football stadium where it's a
• 40:09
  bigger venue you know
• 40:12
  and you know so so for those of you that so for those of you
• 40:20

  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 41:02
  So yeah,
• 41:02
  I'm going to be talking about AI documentation and I have two
• 41:07
  sessions.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: One is on new emerging technologies with AI in the medical space.
• 41:14
  Then the other one is how to document it where it can either
• 41:17
  indict you or it can defend you.
• 41:25
  and that's going to get worse the AI stuff it's going to get
• 41:29
  well it's like
• 41:30
  everything else it's a tool it's not a replacement and people
• 41:33
  will start when
• 41:33
  people start using it as a replacement that's when it becomes a
• 41:36
  problem you know I
• 41:40
  think there's effective ways to use it in the I'm sure there is
• 41:44
  like in the medical
• 41:45
  field and everything there's ways that you've seen that it can
• 41:48
  be beneficial
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_02: rather than use to take disability and stuff away from veterans.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: Appreciate you saying goodbye to your driver.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like the fact that we're using AI to restrict disability for veterans.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's bullshit.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I told you we were on the last show.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_00: Remember I was telling you,
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_00: Nick,
• 42:10
  that I'm already getting messages and letters from the VA about
• 42:14
  re-rating my
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_00: veteran patients.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, no, I go, they're older.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_00: They're not getting better.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're not doing better.

• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: they're getting older Yeah,
• 42:25

• 42:32
  minutes while I
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_00: check in the hotel When I get up in the room,
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'll log back in,

• 42:36
  buddy Alright,
• 42:36
  guys,
• 42:37
  ciao And Yeah,
• 42:41
  I think it's just I don't know I'm
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_01: I'm ready for Trump to not exist in our frame of thought anymore.
• 42:54
  And he's really taken this to be the Hitler moments or those
• 43:00
  big Stalin moments or
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_01: those big whatever moments that he's going to try and make out of it.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_02: He's going to try and make himself look dictatorial or proud,
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: but he's just an old,
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_01: dying,
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_01: bloated fucking pedophile.
• 43:18
  like everybody knows it everybody knows he's a piece of shit
• 43:21
  everybody knows he's
• 43:22
  dying everybody knows he's Eric when he gets back I want to
• 43:26
  talk about the gloves
• 43:30
  that he saw because he's hiding his hands again yeah that was
• 43:35
  all bruising picture
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_01: and he's gonna he's gonna use these last months to
• 43:43
  hopefully not years but hopefully last months or anything of
• 43:48
  his life to make
• 43:49
  himself as grand of an image as he can in his own mind he wants
• 43:56
  to last forever in
• 43:57
  his eyes yeah he needs to feel like he's going to last forever
• 44:01
  and the only way to
• 44:02
  do that is to continue to be more than what he is right now
• 44:07
  like in all the worst
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_01: ways and the fact that
• 44:12
  Iran is in the World Cup and that their players are coming to
• 44:17
  our country and their
• 44:17
  fans are being harassed and either denied access and have
• 44:22
  tickets that they've
• 44:22
  already purchased or are going to get fucking detained when
• 44:31
  they're here like we
• 44:33
  talked about people getting shot like if ICE shoots anybody
• 44:38
  it's going to be an
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_01: international disaster
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_01: If ICE detains anybody, it's going to be an international disaster.
• 44:49
  And it's going to have to turn into other countries actually
• 44:54
  stepping up and
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_01: sanctioning us more.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know my bookshelf is empty.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm partially through a move and it's actually not really a bookshelf.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's more of a display shelf.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_01: It usually has a bunch of Legos on it, but not today.
• 45:10
  um they're all packed up for me um but he's gonna use all this
• 45:15
  time to make it
• 45:17
  about himself and make his lasting image whatever he thinks it
• 45:24
  is in his mind
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_01: because nothing is really what he thinks is going on um but also like the
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_01: international incident that we could possibly face with all of this
• 45:38
  The fact that these players are going to be going between
• 45:40
  Canada Mexico and Brazil
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_01: Are we going to stop them at every fucking turn?
• 45:46
  Are we going to have to double check all of the fans every
• 45:51
  single time if they cross a border?
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_01: Are fans going to cross borders?
• 46:00
  Are fans just going to try and go to the Canada and Mexico
• 46:03
  games instead of coming to the US?
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I would do
• 46:07
  That's what I would do too is I would skip the US entirely and
• 46:11
  I would make the
• 46:12
  Mexico and Canada host Canadian hosted games Mexican and
• 46:16
  Canadian hosted games the
• 46:17
  most followed and the most watched and the most well attended
• 46:24
  and if I was in the
• 46:25
  US unfortunately I wouldn't go I don't feel any pride in it now
• 46:33
  I was expecting
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_02: teams to like
• 46:37
  I don't I haven't followed it enough to know that if know if
• 46:41
  like there are some
• 46:42
  teams that are but like after the whole I forget what the award
• 46:48
  they made up or
• 46:48
  whatever was like when they announced the world peace prize
• 46:52
  bullshit yeah I was to
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_02: make up for like the Nobel Peace Prize that he was bitching about but
• 46:58
  I would have figured that after that you would have seen
• 47:00
  governments kind of like
• 47:02
  starting to take a stand or at least protest in some form like
• 47:06
  saying that they're
• 47:06
  only going to play if they're in like Mexico or Canada and
• 47:14
  somebody just asked me
• 47:16
  what do you think about like false flags during the World Cup
• 47:19
  you think that's a
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_02: possibility especially I watch for those all the time surrounding like
• 47:26
  Iranians being here and the team coming and in the middle of
• 47:30
  the war like him
• 47:31
  trying to use that as a negotiation tactic because yeah I don't
• 47:37
  there's no off-ramp
• 47:39
  like we've talked about that for a while that there's no
• 47:41
  off-ramp for this war like
• 47:43
  what kind of bullshit would he manufacture to try and get
• 47:46
  himself out of it because
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: the negotiations aren't working and
• 47:52
  The Bombing Starting All Over Again I Saw A Thing Earlier This
• 47:56
  Morning That It Had
• 48:00
  To Have Been Like A White House Reporter Or Something Asked Him
• 48:03
  Like What His Plans
• 48:03
  Were For Iran Striking The Bases In The Middle East Like The US
• 48:09
  Military Bases I
• 48:10
  Think It Was Yesterday Or The Day Before And He Said That The
• 48:16
  Response Is Gonna Be
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_02: To Bomb The Shit Out Of Them And
• 48:21
  it just never fucking ends so I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 48:25
  pulled some bullshit
• 48:26
  especially the more vulnerable he gets especially the closer
• 48:29
  that we get to the
• 48:30
  midterms and he needs something to bolster his image and I mean
• 48:37
  on top of that
• 48:38
  you've got fucking Pete Hegseth when he was in Guantanamo
• 48:43
  yesterday and he was
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_02: talking about
• 48:47
  not only he said that we should have killed these prisoners at
• 48:50
  Guantanamo a long
• 48:52
  time ago but he got like into bitchy alcoholic mode with one of
• 48:56
  the reporters when
• 48:57
  they asked when they suggested like it was committing war
• 48:59
  crimes like hitting
• 49:01
  infrastructure and water supplies and power stations and shit
• 49:07
  like that I mean it's
• 49:09
  just embarrassing dude like the kind of stuff that we're doing
• 49:13
  across the board
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_02: it's
• 49:16
  Doing Nothing But Taking Goodwill Away From The Countries That
• 49:20
  Are About To Visit
• 49:21
  Us And For The World Cup For Over A Month Too Because The

  people are gonna care
• 49:56
  about the fucking soccer games than they are gonna be about the
• 49:59
  250th anniversary
• 50:00
  of our country because Trump is trying to ruin it the general
• 50:04
  public yeah for sure
• 50:06
  when is the when's the UFC thing supposed to happen that's like
• 50:09
  on his birthday
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_02: right like the 19th or something yeah that's coming up soon
• 50:15
  Um And I saw that I'm not positive But that somebody Was like
• 50:22
  suing Or like
• 50:23
  bringing it to court To try and get it to not happen Because
• 50:26
  it's happening on like
• 50:27
  the White House lawn I'm sure they'll ignore Whatever court
• 50:31
  order would come out of
• 50:32
  that anyway But Oh absolutely yeah They don't care They don't
• 50:36
  give a shit It's so
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_02: fucking embarrassing dude It's so bad And
• 50:44
  To have like just to even look at that like being erected on
• 50:47
  the White House
• 50:48
  grounds when Republicans lost their fucking minds that Obama
• 50:53
  switched the tennis
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_02: court to a basketball court so he could like get exercise and have
• 50:59
  Recreation Time when he was president and now we've got this
• 51:03
  monstrosity of a UFC
• 51:06
  setup where they're gonna have just every shitbag person that
• 51:11
  you could imagine
• 51:13
  like that's a UFC athlete fighting for him like Justin Gagey
• 51:17
  he's somebody from I
• 51:19
  think he still trains in the Denver area but I know he's from
• 51:22
  Denver and he's
• 51:25
  he's as bad as that Colby Covington dude like when it comes to
• 51:29
  Trump support and
• 51:29
  kissing his ass and I'll be interested to see because if you
• 51:35
  look at it it's only
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_02: it's not like
• 51:40
  Like Stadium Seating Or Anything Like That It's Probably Five
• 51:44
  Ten Rows Like Around
• 51:46
  The Octagon Or Whatever The Fuck You Want To Call It And So
• 51:50
  It's Going To Be
• 51:51
  Limited Number Of People It's Going To Be The Elite From The
• 51:56
  Regime And His
• 51:57
  Administration Like You Said Like Stephen Miller Is Going To Be
• 52:00
  There Pete Hegg
• 52:01
  Seth All Those Jerkoffs But I Want To See Like What Celebrities
• 52:06
  Are Willing To Show
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_02: Up To That
• 52:08
  and put their face on something that's so embarrassing but also
• 52:13
  connected to the
• 52:13
  government um I have a feeling I have a feeling it's going to
• 52:19
  be well attended by
• 52:21
  the likes of folks like Andrew Tate and um Candace Owens and
• 52:33
  Erica Kirk Erica Kerr
• 52:36
  I doubt Tucker Carlson will be there because there seems to be
• 52:40
  something going on
• 52:41
  there with him and the JD stuff I think Tucker's positioning
• 52:46
  himself to run for
• 52:47
  president in 20 years I think he's gonna be the MAGA alt like
• 52:54
  the he's gonna set up
• 52:57
  his own movement to where he's trying to like do some populist
• 53:01
  shit with the
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_02: economy but also
• 53:05
  Promote the Great Replacement Theory or whatever the fuck it is
• 53:09
  but I think that
• 53:10
  that's the reason he pulled his I believe his son worked for JD
• 53:15
  like he pulled him
• 53:16
  from that and he's using that talk show and everything to kind
• 53:22
  of distance himself
• 53:24
  from the Trump administration and it fucking scares me a little
• 53:29
  bit because I think
• 53:30
  SPEAKER_02: he's more formidable I think he's smarter than JD Vance is
• 53:34
  I think it's just a matter of if the tech oligarchs and
• 53:40
  everything get behind JD or
• 53:42
  like end up going with him but that's the one person that would
• 53:47
  worry me the
• 53:48
  Democrats going up against because I don't think that they
• 53:51
  could figure out how to
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_02: stop that that populist rhetoric that he would try and promote
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, God only knows if he's a fucking CIA agent.
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_02: Did you hear all that stuff that his dad was?
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_01: No, I haven't followed much, but it wouldn't surprise me.
• 54:10
  Like all of these folks who turn out to be super destructive to
• 54:15
  the country seem to
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_01: be like CIA related.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like CIA, aren't you supposed to be protecting us?
• 54:23
  Like,
• 54:24
  aren't you supposed to be making our country safer and stronger
• 54:27
  and more secure?
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_01: Not promoting
• 54:30
  fascism and creating fascist little fucking anti-american
• 54:38
  bullshitters like it's
• 54:40
  fucking or connecting ourselves to fucking Israel did you see I
• 54:46
  think Nikki Haley
• 54:47
  said it this morning that that Israel wasn't bombing Lebanon
• 54:53
  they were bombing
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_02: Hezbollah but but that's the same fucking place
• 54:58
  I saw threads are a video on threads they fucking double tapped
• 55:02
  an ambulance that
• 55:03
  was helping a civilian like taxi driver the other day and yeah
• 55:09
  like these people
• 55:10
  are fucking evil dude and it's we're so connected to it and I
• 55:16
  know we're getting
• 55:17
  off course but then I saw that like they're trying to integrate
• 55:23
  the American
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_02: military more with the idea for something like that yes
• 55:29
  yeah that's fucking scary dude uh yeah it is um that's slipped
• 55:38
  in there because and
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_01: also the I saw that they um Israel has purchased or made deals with like
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_01: celebrities in the U.S.
• 55:50
  for some bullshit to produce videos for them like that Gwyneth
• 55:55
  Paltrow bullshit
• 55:57
  SPEAKER_01: yeah like
• 55:59
  mm-hmm that everybody was pissed about that on threads
• 56:03
  yesterday that she made some
• 56:06
  video like promoting being able to like buy homes in a
• 56:11
  settlement or some shit like
• 56:12
  that it's like buying condos or something like this that are
• 56:16
  probably stolen from
• 56:17
  Palestinians well most definitely was most definitely were like
• 56:22
  genocide is being
• 56:23
  SPEAKER_01: done in Palestine funded by US tax dollars
• 56:28
  and we are integrating further with them so that when terrible
• 56:35
  military choices
• 56:36
  like attacking Iran and bombing Lebanon and you know massacring
• 56:45
  and genociding of
• 56:46
  people in Gaza and Palestine those are on our hands that's our
• 56:51
  money that's on our
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_01: hands because we allowed them to take over
• 56:58
  SPEAKER_02: and it gives legitimacy to Netanyahu and their bullshit.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah,
• 57:05
  it's the the the Zionist movement that is the fascist Zionist
• 57:14
  movement that is
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: there is a product of our making.
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's a product of Russia's making.
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_01: And we have allowed it to be foreign interference
• 57:26
  Blatant Foreign Interference In Our Election Process And It's
• 57:32
  It's Actually Good To
• 57:37
  See And I Hate Saying This But It's Good To See That Israel Is
• 57:41
  Not In The World Cup
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_01: Does Not Have A Team Because That Would Be A Shit Show
• 57:51
  and we verge a lot nowadays on really near to anti-Semitic talk
• 57:58
  in a lot of places.
• 58:01
  I've had to step back on Substack in areas because
• 58:04
  anti-Semitism.
• 58:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, Iran is in the World Cup and their team is playing.
• 58:11
  They have fans who are supposed to be coming here and what
• 58:15
  happens with them could
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_01: be a very big thing at the end of it.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_01: Trump is in a bad, dire position with the war in Iran.
• 58:27
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't jump my,
• 58:30
  the logical step for him would be detain the Iranian team and
• 58:34
  the fans until he
• 58:36
  SPEAKER_01: gets what he wants.
• 58:38
  SPEAKER_02: Then we've got an international hostage crisis on our hands.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 58:43
  Did you see it was after last night's game going into the whole
• 58:48
  Israel and
• 58:49
  Palestine thing that Jerry Seinfeld is such a fucking asshole
• 58:55
  dude he is such an
• 58:57
  asshole there was a fan that like walked up to him outside of
• 59:01
  Madison Square Garden
• 59:02
  and he was like we say like free Palestine or something and
• 59:07
  Jerry Seinfeld was like
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_02: it doesn't exist and I'm just like
• 59:11
  what the fuck is wrong with you dude and I don't know I like
• 59:19
  you said about like
• 59:20
  anti-semitism and thing I hate that it gets like Zionism gets
• 59:25
  conflated with like
• 59:26
  the Jewish people like the ignorant people and the fucking
• 59:32
  idiots around this
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_02: country don't realize that it's like a Zionist fascist movement it's not
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_02: just Jewish people in Israel.
• 59:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's not Jewish people in the United States or like just them.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_02: Not this.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_02: You can't do this broad sweeping thing.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_02: And it takes away legitimacy of
• 59:52
  naming that Zionists are like a fascist movement and everything
• 59:57
  but it also gives
• 59:58
  ammunition to people like Jerry Seinfeld who can be like no
• 1:00:03
  Palestine doesn't exist
• 1:00:04
  and you're a fucking anti-Semite if you say that or like if you
• 1:00:08
  say anything else
• 1:00:09
  SPEAKER_02: or believe that Palestine should exist it's just
• 1:00:13
  The whole Discourse Around It Just Gets Frustrating Because
• 1:00:17
  It's Like People That
• 1:00:20
  Recognize This Shit There's Nothing That You Can Say To Like
• 1:00:23
  Get Your Point Across
• 1:00:25
  That It's Not Anti-Semitism And It's The State Of Israel That's
• 1:00:30
  Fucking Committing
• 1:00:31
  A Genocide And I Don't Know The Whole Discourse Around It Just
• 1:00:37
  Pisses Me Off
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_02: Because It's So Easy
• 1:00:40
  For somebody for people like you and me to see but the average
• 1:00:44
  like not necessarily
• 1:00:46
  completely informed American citizen like just doesn't
• 1:00:50
  understand the intricacies
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_02: of it and they just see comments like what Jerry Seinfeld said.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I mean it's made to be that way.
• 1:00:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's intended to be that way.
• 1:01:01
  AIPAC has done a lot to ensure that anti-Israel content or
• 1:01:08
  anti-ultra-Zionist
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_01: fascist content is bad in any way.
• 1:01:14
  They've done a lot of propaganda to make Americans specifically
• 1:01:19
  believe that that
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_01: is not bad and to tie the
• 1:01:24
  fascism into what it means to be Jewish and to tie Israel into
• 1:01:30
  that is the only
• 1:01:31
  identity of Judaism and it's not and it's gotta be frustrating
• 1:01:37
  for you too to see
• 1:01:38
  like it's dude it's so much like I can't even imagine the
• 1:01:45
  frustration of like being
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_02: a Jewish man and like trying to like explain
• 1:01:54
  the intricacies of it and everything and having to like see the
• 1:01:57
  ignorance of the
• 1:01:58
  whole situation and somebody asked or somebody mentioned it in
• 1:02:03
  the chat yeah Jerry
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_02: Seinfeld he was
• 1:02:08
  37 or 38 when he was picking his now wife up Jessica Seinfeld I
• 1:02:16
  think from high
• 1:02:18
  school to like take her out on dates and yeah he's been a
• 1:02:22
  dirtbag his entire life
• 1:02:25
  just I don't get it man I don't get how these people just get
• 1:02:33
  away with this shit
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_02: and
• 1:02:36
  how we're still distracted enough to not be like bill gates
• 1:02:42
  came to capitol hill
• 1:02:43
  today to testify behind closed doors about the epstein files
• 1:02:46
  and it's not even
• 1:02:48
  close they're gonna lie their ass like leslie goff groff or
• 1:02:54
  whatever her name is
• 1:02:56
  like she testified and i'm not anti-jew i'm jewish that's a
• 1:03:02
  silly question
• 1:03:04
  are you guys anti no absolutely not no see this is like what we
• 1:03:08
  were talking about
• 1:03:09
  like it gets conflated like the Zionist movement and like what
• 1:03:14
  the state of Israel
• 1:03:16
  is doing run by Zionists is a fucking horrible murderous regime
• 1:03:20
  that's committing a
• 1:03:21
  genocide like there is no part of that that should represent
• 1:03:26
  the vast majority of
• 1:03:28
  SPEAKER_01: Jewish people or the Jewish faith or anything like that so
• 1:03:34
  I don't want anybody to think that for like anti-Jews or
• 1:03:40
  anything or like some
• 1:03:41
  crazy conspiracy theorists that think anything like that like
• 1:03:46
  Nick is a fucking
• 1:03:47
  Jewish American man I'm anti-Zionism I'm anti-fascism I'm
• 1:03:55
  anti-ethnostate that's I
• 1:03:57
  think really where it comes down to is I'm anti-ethnostate and
• 1:04:01
  that's what they're
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_01: trying to create
• 1:04:03
  they're trying to create a state of ethno singularity and the
• 1:04:09
  only way to get there
• 1:04:10
  is through genocide the only way you can have a cleansed ethno
• 1:04:14
  state is through
• 1:04:15
  genocide and that's bullshit that's fucking terrible and if we
• 1:04:23
  can separate Trump
• 1:04:25
  SPEAKER_01: and MAGA from us as individuals and us as Americans
• 1:04:32
  SPEAKER_01: or what America can be, then we can separate Jewish people from Israel.
• 1:04:39
  SPEAKER_01: Also, there are more Jews in America than there are in Israel.
• 1:04:44
  And so we should have a bigger say on what it means to be
• 1:04:48
  Jewish than a tiny
• 1:04:50
  SPEAKER_01: country that is trying to murder a bunch of people.
• 1:04:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not anti-Jewish.
• 1:04:54
  I'm anti-fascist Zionists who want to kill people because they
• 1:04:59
  want to steal and take land.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_02: So America has the largest Jewish population in the world then, right?
• 1:05:05
  SPEAKER_01: I think so, yeah.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_01: As far as I know.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_01: I think there's more Jews in New York than there are in Israel.
• 1:05:12
  Yeah,
• 1:05:12
  and I'm not getting into that argument about whether they have
• 1:05:17
  a right to the land.
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_02: I just, it's I don't know.
• 1:05:23
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think anyone has a right to the land.
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_01: I think none of them do at this point.
• 1:05:29
  SPEAKER_01: They all do.
• 1:05:30
  because if none of them can get along because it's a holy site
• 1:05:34
  for all of the
• 1:05:35
  Abrahamic faiths if they can't get along they don't deserve it
• 1:05:38
  none of them none of
• 1:05:40
  them deserve yeah that's the fucking problem is it's it's not
• 1:05:45
  about do Jews have a
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_01: right to the land do Palestinians have a right to the land do
• 1:05:51
  Christians have a right to the land do Islamic folks have a
• 1:05:54
  right to the land yes
• 1:05:56
  they all fucking do and at the same time no they don't have a
• 1:06:00
  right to kill each
• 1:06:01
  other over it mm-hmm it's simple as that it's a holy site for
• 1:06:05
  all of them Israel
• 1:06:07
  has holy sites for all of them so no no you know what no fuck
• 1:06:13
  you I don't having
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_02: common sense Nick fuck you you're an asshole
• 1:06:18
  That was promised to them 10,000 years ago and you're a fucking
• 1:06:23
  asshole for
• 1:06:24
  believing in common sense and for everyone to get along Yeah I
• 1:06:30
  mean like we're it's
• 1:06:32
  here's the thing guys you're all based on the same faith system
• 1:06:39
  you're literally
• 1:06:40
  all Semitic people too from that area if you're in that area
• 1:06:45
  you are Semitic
• 1:06:47
  So if you're anti-Muslim You're an anti-Semite Just saying If
• 1:06:54
  you are from that
• 1:06:55
  region You are a Semite And if you hate people from that region
• 1:07:00
  Just because they
• 1:07:00
  don't believe in your faith system You're an anti-Semite too
• 1:07:05
  There's a difference
• 1:07:07
  We need to use words properly And sorry folks But you don't
• 1:07:12
  just get to be
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_01: anti-Muslim And then go I'm not anti-Semitic Yeah the fuck you are
• 1:07:18
  And they're all the same faith system You're all the same faith
• 1:07:25
  system You are the
• 1:07:26
  same monotheistic faith system You believe in the same God You
• 1:07:30
  have a lot of the
• 1:07:31
  same angels and prophets and others You're the same fucking
• 1:07:37

  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:07:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's almost... We can't use anti...

  SPEAKER_01: There's a difference between anti-Jew and anti-Semite.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_01: There's a difference between anti-Zionist and anti-Jew and anti-Semite.
• 1:08:09
  there are differences in these words because words mean things
• 1:08:15
  and if you're
• 1:08:16
  genociding a Semitic group you are anti-Semitic by nature sorry
• 1:08:25
  I don't make the
• 1:08:25
  rules I just fucking live by them and we need to stop fucking
• 1:08:34
  we need to stop with
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_01: it like
• 1:08:36
  we shouldn't even we don't even need this conversation I mean
• 1:08:39
  we do because people
• 1:08:41
  are so fucking brainwashed into the idea that you just you have
• 1:08:45
  to hate people and
• 1:08:47
  the only people who are Semitic are Jewish and anytime somebody
• 1:08:51
  attacks or says
• 1:08:52
  something against a person who happens to be Jewish it's
• 1:08:57
  anti-Semitic there is a
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_01: lot of anti-Semitism that is going on
• 1:09:02
  There's a lot of Holocaust denying that is going on There are
• 1:09:06
  people waving Nazi
• 1:09:07
  flags walking around There are KKK members burning fucking
• 1:09:12
  crosses and doing other
• 1:09:14
  things like that They are the problem The people killing and
• 1:09:19
  genociding the
• 1:09:20
  Palestinians are the problem You can call that out for what it
• 1:09:26
  is without the hate
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_01: towards the individual person or the group
• 1:09:30
  That Doesn't Have Anything To Do With It On A Larger Basis Like
• 1:09:36
  People Hate It When
• 1:09:37
  I Say Christians Are The Problem Right Now They Are Fucking
• 1:09:43
  What All Christians Are
• 1:09:44

• 1:09:49
  Every Christian Is The
• 1:09:50
  Problem Yeah You Guys Are The Worst You're All The Fucking
• 1:09:53
  Problem See That's What
• 1:09:55
  It Feels Like That's What It Sounds Like When You Say Shit When
• 1:09:59
  People Say Stupid
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Shit
• 1:10:02
  one's running for office in Maine he's not and okay where
• 1:10:09
  you're you've lost the
• 1:10:10
  plot bro um we've talked a lot about Graham Plattner um before
• 1:10:16
  he is a unique
• 1:10:17
  individual and what I will say about him I said it in a article
• 1:10:24
  I wrote I think
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_02: last week that
• 1:10:27
  Yes Graham Plattner is a flawed human being yes he has made
• 1:10:31
  shitty fucking
• 1:10:32
  decisions and bad mistakes but Graham Plattner could fuck a
• 1:10:36
  horse on the 50 yard
• 1:10:38
  line during the halftime show of the Super Bowl and scream out
• 1:10:43
  a bunch of bullshit
• 1:10:44
  and I would still rather have him in office over Susan Collins
• 1:10:48
  because he's
• 1:10:49
  promising to go after having health care for everybody he's
• 1:10:53
  promising to go after
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_02: the Epstein class and
• 1:10:58
  I just stop letting the plot get lost and have priorities over
• 1:11:03
  what's going to
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_02: benefit us in the near future.
• 1:11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Is Susan Collins going to do that?
• 1:11:09
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely fucking not.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_02: Is Graham Platner a great person?
• 1:11:13
  SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
• 1:11:15
  But there are a lot of veterans that are fucking flawed human
• 1:11:18
  beings that have made
• 1:11:19
  SPEAKER_02: shitty decisions and have things in their past that they're not proud of.
• 1:11:23
  SPEAKER_02: But
• 1:11:27
  we can't let perfect be the enemy of good and you can't let
• 1:11:32
  something like that and
• 1:11:33
  these bullshit stories or just these stories that shouldn't
• 1:11:38
  matter about somebody's
• 1:11:40
  SPEAKER_02: personal life coming to effect and getting
• 1:11:45
  Susan Collins More Hype And Everything Because That Woman Is
• 1:11:48
  Fucking Dangerous To
• 1:11:49
  Our Country She Does That Shaky Voice And Like Oh I Don't Know
• 1:11:54
  I Don't Know What
• 1:11:55
  I'm Gonna Do But Then She Votes With Trump Like 100% Of The
• 1:11:59
  Time And Confirms All
• 1:12:00
  His Choices For His Cabinet And Votes Against Impeachment And
• 1:12:06
  All That Shit But
• 1:12:07
  SPEAKER_02: Like
• 1:12:09
  We Can't Do This Thing Where We Have The Purity Test From The
• 1:12:13
  Left The Progressives
• 1:12:14
  The Liberals Or Whatever Like Get On Fucking Board Like
• 1:12:19
  Republicans Do And Vote For
• 1:12:21
  The Candidates Support The Candidate And Realize The Larger
• 1:12:24
  Goal Of Things Because
• 1:12:26
  A Dumbass Drunk Marine Getting A Tattoo At 22 Is Not And He
• 1:12:35
  Covered It Up After
• 1:12:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's Not Like
• 1:12:39
  the end all be all of deciding the election you have to look at
• 1:12:42
  the platform and
• 1:12:43
  what he's running on and the situation that we're looking at
• 1:12:49
  with having a senator
• 1:12:51
  like Susan Collins come back into office when she's like
• 1:12:54
  already 80 something years
• 1:12:56
  old or however fucking old she is but and again this points to
• 1:13:03
  there are probably
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_01: better choices than Graham Platt
• 1:13:07
  yeah absolutely there are definitely better choices than him
• 1:13:11
  but he's the choice
• 1:13:11
  that they have and his platform at least is really progressive
• 1:13:19
  yeah at least he's
• 1:13:20
  running on a platform and I don't think he's going to turn out
• 1:13:22
  to be John Fetterman
• 1:13:23
  or anything and there are other races that are going to be won
• 1:13:31
  that and that are
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_01: going oh I'm
• 1:13:38
  I'm not gonna I don't excuse his behavior in any way towards
• 1:13:41
  others no absolutely
• 1:13:43
  not I and I have made my opinion on him known before is I think
• 1:13:49
  he is a I don't
• 1:13:51
  think he's a good person I think he's made a ton of mistakes
• 1:13:54
  and I don't think he
• 1:13:55
  should have been running and I don't dude I'm on a show please
• 1:14:02
  move that away go
• 1:14:06
  SPEAKER_01: have one bro
• 1:14:09
  SPEAKER_01: There's another adult in the house, too, that you could have asked.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you're the cool one.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_01: No,
• 1:14:14
  I'm the one that gets asked and then mom gets asked the same
• 1:14:18
  question and it's
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_01: mom's answer,
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_01: not mine.
• 1:14:24
  SPEAKER_01: And like, I just.
• 1:14:29
  SPEAKER_01: I. I just think that we were in a terrible spot right now anyway.
• 1:14:39
  in the US and we're going to have to worry about we're going to
• 1:14:48
  have to figure out
• 1:14:49
  how to change their culture we're going to have to figure out
• 1:14:53
  well if Trump had a
• 1:14:56
  tattoo like that he would mean it it would be meant to be there
• 1:15:02
  it would be
• 1:15:03
  intentional and I've also commented on the way that Plattner
• 1:15:07
  has talked about women
• 1:15:09
  and referred to women in the past or the lack of masculinity
• 1:15:14
  that he has shown.
• 1:15:16
  SPEAKER_01: And he is very flawed.
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_01: He's also not my candidate, so I can't say too much.
• 1:15:24
  SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, I don't live in the area.
• 1:15:26
  SPEAKER_01: I don't vote in Maine.
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_01: They voted for him in a very high percentage, Mainers did.
• 1:15:32
  SPEAKER_01: And they wanted him as their candidate to go against
• 1:15:38
  Susan Collins like and to take that seat and we need that seat
• 1:15:46
  and there are other
• 1:15:46
  races that we need to focus more energy into now because he's
• 1:15:50
  gonna win he doesn't
• 1:15:51
  need our focus he doesn't need all the extra energy I think
• 1:15:57
  that's the biggest
• 1:15:57
  SPEAKER_02: thing is that don't
• 1:16:01
  Don't let the bullshit personal stories and everything make
• 1:16:06
  this a larger thing
• 1:16:07
  than it needs to be that the mainstream media is gonna like
• 1:16:12
  grab onto this and run
• 1:16:13
  with it but Maine is not the most important Senate race yes we
• 1:16:18
  want an extra
• 1:16:19
  senator and everything but there are other things that we can
• 1:16:23
  be paying attention
• 1:16:24
  SPEAKER_02: to and not Alaska about Graham Platner yes
• 1:16:29
  we've got alaska we've got south carolina there's two there's
• 1:16:34
  or texas with we've
• 1:16:37
  got texas there are other there are other places that need our
• 1:16:44
  energy and well i'll
• 1:16:47
  just say this about graham platner's past is he has done a lot
• 1:16:51
  of community
• 1:16:52
  organizing and anti-fascist work he worked in the anti-fascist
• 1:16:57
  space he worked
• 1:16:59
  SPEAKER_01: in these groups to undermine them, to work against them.
• 1:17:05
  SPEAKER_01: He's met folks,
• 1:17:07
  SPEAKER_01: and I've talked with Chris Goldsmith about meeting him,
• 1:17:11
  SPEAKER_01: and he's met Chris Goldsmith before.
• 1:17:14
  And I don't know,
• 1:17:16
  I think he's done some things in his past that have been very,
• 1:17:21
  very helpful.
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_01: He's an anti-fascist worker.
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_01: He went in and helped uncover anti-fascism.
• 1:17:30
  I've got to get we've got to give him some credit for the
• 1:17:32
  things that he's done.
• 1:17:34
  SPEAKER_01: And there are more races that we need to worry on.
• 1:17:39
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't like Tallarico either, but also I'm not in Texas.
• 1:17:42
  And if he can win and if he can win and if he can help bring
• 1:17:50
  additional voters to
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_01: the ballot box for down ballot candidates in Texas,
• 1:17:57
  SPEAKER_01: Texas could go blue.
• 1:17:59
  in areas that it hasn't seen before like he inspires a lot of
• 1:18:06
  positivity for people
• 1:18:07
  there is a senator running in Alaska a female senator running
• 1:18:12
  or a woman running to
• 1:18:14
  become senator of Alaska who's coming out of nowhere who that
• 1:18:17
  would be we should
• 1:18:19
  put energy into her instead of Graham Platner's campaign or
• 1:18:24
  other people's because
• 1:18:25
  SPEAKER_01: if we know they're more likely going to win
• 1:18:28
  SPEAKER_01: on in the safer race.
• 1:18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go win the harder ones.
• 1:18:33
  Let's go give attention to Arkansas and Alabama and Mississippi
• 1:18:41
  and Louisiana and
• 1:18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Alaska and places like that.
• 1:18:46
