- 0:18Audio shared by Testecleese: Max over the… Who are fake dudes?
- 0:23Audio shared by Testecleese: I am not suicidal!

- 0:36Audio shared by Testecleese: I'm gonna come.
- 0:38Testecleese: Alone.
- 0:39Audio shared by Testecleese: Welcome to episode 338 of the Jeffery.
- 0:42Testecleese: Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
- 0:44Brian McFadden: And I'm Brian.
- 0:46Testecleese: I want two guys, drink about… drinking some beers, talking about what's going on.
- 0:49Audio shared by Testecleese: And of course.
- 0:50Testecleese: Brian, we decided to hit record right as I need to pee, but that's kinda how we do things, isn't it?
- 0:56Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 0:58Testecleese: We put… we… it looks like we put a little bit of thought into this, but that's exactly what happens, we put in a little bit of thought.
- 1:04Brian McFadden: Right,
- 1:07Testecleese: I'm just curious, if we actually put it in a full-time effort.
- 1:12Testecleese: not even a full-time effort. If we both put in 20 hours a week to making this show better, I bet you we could actually get some listeners and, everything, you know?
- 1:19Brian McFadden: Possibly.
- 1:22Testecleese: Yeah. Our time's more valuable than that, unfortunately.
- 1:25Brian McFadden: So, I see here that Al Gore was right, 20 years late, but he was right.
- 1:31Testecleese: Yeah, I don't understand.
- 1:33Brian McFadden: I don't understand how they consider him right if it took 20 years for this stuff to come true.
- 1:38Testecleese: What do you mean, come true? Polar bears are supposed to be extinct by now. There's more on the planet than ever documented. The ice caps were supposed to have melted, and everyone except for, like, Appalachia was supposed to have drowned by now.
- 1:52Brian McFadden: Yeah, you're just gonna be safe.
- 1:54Testecleese: Yeah, realistically, Appalachia's, like, the only part of the United States that would survive a global flood, but…
- 2:01Testecleese: That's a different conversation altogether.
- 2:04Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:05Testecleese: Oh, the world…
- 2:05Brian McFadden: I shared this article because it was so ridiculous, you know, the ABC came up with this as a story.
- 2:11Testecleese: And right after the EPA came out, I said, no, we were totally wrong on all these predictions, right?
- 2:17Testecleese: I'm pretty sure we mentioned that last week, didn't we?
- 2:19Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:21Testecleese: I thought it was ridiculous when you shared that, and I was like, literally the opposite just came out.
- 2:26Brian McFadden: I know!
- 2:27Testecleese: And the fact that my house isn't underwater!
- 2:31Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:31Testecleese: Because the ice caps didn't melt!
- 2:33Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:35Testecleese: Because that was supposed to happen, what, like, 6 years ago or something dumb?
- 2:38Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:40Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 2:42Testecleese: Yeah, it drove me nuts. It's like, oh no, they were right, it's unfortunate. What do you mean, they were right? You're still alive, dude.
- 2:50Testecleese: Alright. Mangrione is back in the news, he's about to hit trial.
- 2:56Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:57Testecleese: His attorney came out, and I don't know why his attorney would be speaking to the media, or maybe the media got wind, or maybe the media was there when
- 3:06Testecleese: They presented their defense.
- 3:09Testecleese: But they were gonna go with some kind of, like, psychiatric thing, I guess? Yeah.
- 3:14Testecleese: Wow, wha… Mental health defense.
- 3:18Testecleese: But then, within, like, a day and a half, they withdrew that defense.
- 3:22Brian McFadden: Right.
- 3:24Brian McFadden: Guess he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in an insane asylum.
- 3:27Testecleese: Just like this dude who killed Irina Zerutska?
- 3:31Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:33Testecleese: So, the…
- 3:34Testecleese: The fact that you're gonna bring up one defense, and then withdrew it right away tells me that you don't… that you're grasping for straws.
- 3:43Brian McFadden: Right.
- 3:44Testecleese: What defense does he possibly have for walking up behind someone and shooting him in the back of the head with a gun that he built at home and drove across state lines with?
- 3:53Brian McFadden: No idea.
- 3:54Testecleese: Like, the only defense he had was, I'm fucking crazy.
- 3:59Testecleese: If you're not gonna claim that, you may as well have just pled guilty and got a lesser sentence, right?
- 4:04Brian McFadden: Right.
- 4:08Testecleese: I don't know, I don't know, am I missing something here?
- 4:11Brian McFadden: We don't know everything, we're not following it that closely, so, I mean…
- 4:15Brian McFadden: We're just seeing the headlines as they pop up randomly.
- 4:19Brian McFadden: So it seems like… Seems like we don't have the whole story here.
- 4:23Testecleese: Maybe, but that seems… that's how we do this show in general, and it seems like we're 5 steps ahead of the average person anyway.
- 4:30Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 4:31Testecleese: That doesn't necessarily mean… necessarily mean we…
- 4:33Testecleese: We are 5 steps ahead in every situation, but…
- 4:39Testecleese: I mean, this guy has no defense for what he did.
- 4:42Brian McFadden: No.
- 4:45Testecleese: I swear to God, if this guy gets convicted and people start going fucking nuts defending the fucking…
- 4:50Testecleese: The, the pretty white boy.
- 4:53Testecleese: from going to prison, because of discrimination, I'm gonna lose my shit.
- 5:01Testecleese: Jeez Louise.
- 5:03Testecleese: That ridiculous… You, it's Italian unibrow he's got.
- 5:11Testecleese: Okay, you remember that school that we talked about way back in the day when Charlotte Kirk was killed, which was, like, a year and a half ago? We talked about this school that had this rock.
- 5:22Testecleese: And apparently, it's, like, a thing to paint it.
- 5:25Testecleese: Right. Yeah, it's a thing, but you have to get permission from the school, etc, etc.
- 5:32Testecleese: Well…
- 5:33Testecleese: We talked about this group that had painted it as a Charlie Kirk Memorial, got permission, and then it was painted over immediately, and the students… Yeah, the students were disciplined, right?
- 5:44Testecleese: For, like, what, a radical message or something?
- 5:46Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 5:49Testecleese: Yeah, the school now admits that they were completely wrong for doing what they did.
- 5:55Testecleese: And, you know, they've overturned any discipline on these kids' permanent records, but they still spent.
- 6:01Brian McFadden: I'm out of school. Oh boy. Wow.
- 6:05Testecleese: Well, they still spent time out of school.
- 6:08Testecleese: Now, if you're… if you're a piece of shit.
- 6:10Brian McFadden: And they had to do with the humiliation of, being disciplined like that, too, you know? Being singled out for painting on the rock, that's something that not everybody agreed about.
- 6:21Testecleese: And if…
- 6:22Testecleese: Nevermind, I thought this was a different case. I was about to say, I thought this had something to do with when everyone walked out of school in protest of something else.
- 6:30Testecleese: But I don't think this has anything to do with that.
- 6:35Testecleese: But it's just good to see at least the school admit they were wrong, because…
- 6:38Testecleese: for the longest time, they said, no, you're a Nazi.
- 6:41Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 6:42Testecleese: that, well, maybe… Maybe these folks are realizing that just using extreme rhetoric isn't getting their point across.
- 6:54Testecleese: And shoot, why don't we go ahead and put… Nazi.
- 6:59Testecleese: In the same category as the other N-word.
- 7:02Testecleese: Words that should not be spoken, and even if you are explaining at a board meeting what words you're not allowed to use at work.
- 7:10Testecleese: If you say them to say this isn't the word, you're still gonna lose your job, Papa John.
- 7:16Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 7:19Testecleese: So everyone who comes out and yells Nazi, we can just, you know, kick them out of school, just like they're dropping the N-bomb on black folk, you know?
- 7:29Testecleese: Because that's what it's turned into, it's turned into a slur versus a description… a descriptive word, you know?
- 7:35Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 7:37Testecleese: Oh, yeah, I am gonna try to get rid of this pressure in my bladder.
- 7:43Testecleese: you know enough about this next Supreme Court case, about the Second Amendment?
- 7:46Brian McFadden: I actually read this one when I shared it. Ha! Ha!
- 7:49Testecleese: Oh, no, I read a lot about this, and it's.
- 7:52Testecleese: Way more complicated than I thought.
- 7:54Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 7:55Testecleese: But… The end result…
- 7:56Brian McFadden: Basically, somebody sued the government, saying that just because he was a marijuana user, he should still be able to own a gun.
- 8:05Brian McFadden: And the Supreme Court ruled on the case this week.
- 8:09Brian McFadden: Stating just that, that yeah, that can't be the only reason why the person can't get a gun.
- 8:16Brian McFadden: They said it's a very narrow decision, but, you know, it's a major decision, because that was a lot of… one reason why a lot of people refused to, you know, get their medical marijuana card.
- 8:28Brian McFadden: Because they were afraid if they got that, they'd be on a list somewhere, and they wouldn't be able to buy a handgun or a rifle sometime down the road in their future.
- 8:37Brian McFadden: You know, because there'd be that stigma of being a marijuana user on there, but Supreme Court said that's not the case, it's not a federal thing, so even if you do smoke marijuana in a state where it's legal, you can still get a gun. I guess that means that, Hunter Biden's case is going to get overturned, too?
- 8:56Testecleese: It doesn't even say in a state where it's legal. It's saying that, yeah, this is the…
- 9:03Testecleese: wide ruling.
- 9:04Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 9:05Testecleese: Yeah, and it… I had some issues with this.
- 9:12Testecleese: when I read… the rules… Then I looked at the Supreme Court ruling, and I was like, ugh…
- 9:19Testecleese: And basically, they came down to, like, bits and pieces of what felony-type classes can… are… are actually.
- 9:28Brian McFadden: And this happened, very weirdly, because this was a unanimous decision.
- 9:33Brian McFadden: How many decisions in the Supreme Court these days are unanimous?
- 9:37Testecleese: Actually, isn't this, like, the third in a row?
- 9:39Brian McFadden: Maybe, but it… before… that doesn't happen very often.
- 9:43Testecleese: Well, it used to happen a lot more.
- 9:45Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 9:46Brian McFadden: When people were willing to talk to each other and debate and discuss.
- 9:51Testecleese: Correct.
- 9:52Testecleese: Well, yeah, it ultimately comes down to what class of a felony it is.
- 9:58Brian McFadden: invited.
- 9:58Testecleese: Trump rescheduling marijuana and moved it from one felony class to another felony class.
- 10:05Testecleese: But if you're caught, selling marijuana.
- 10:09Testecleese: by the federal agents, you're still not going to be allowed to buy a gun. This is basically if you have a bag at home, and you smoke up once, you know, every night before bed.
- 10:20Testecleese: Or if you… if you have plants in your yard, like, 2 or 3 plants.
- 10:24Brian McFadden: Right.
- 10:24Testecleese: They're not gonna take away your rights.
- 10:27Testecleese: Now, I would like to make the argument that this could expand more broadly to…
- 10:33Testecleese: Tie voting rights directly to this.
- 10:37Testecleese: in terms of when do you lose and when do you gain back voting rights, and I'd like to make the argument that
- 10:43Testecleese: When you get convicted and go to prison for a…
- 10:46Testecleese: a prison sentence. That they shouldn't just… you shouldn't just get how many years of prison, you should also get, okay.
- 10:53Testecleese: He was 10 years… federal prison.
- 10:58Testecleese: You know, you know, prison, prisoner, inmate.
- 11:01Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 11:02Testecleese: 15 years, you can't vote.
- 11:05Testecleese: 17 years you can't own a gun.
- 11:08Testecleese: I would actually like to see this come out, because this is actually allowable under our Constitution. For the very fact that a court can say you can't own a gun or you can't vote, we could be setting
- 11:19Testecleese: Different, penalties on this, on top of, instead of… instead of that you can never vote again, you can never own a gun again.
- 11:29Brian McFadden: Right.
- 11:30Testecleese: Why not say, you know, okay, you made some bad decisions when you were 19, 25, fucking 30,
- 11:37Testecleese: What… in 10 years, you clean your life up.
- 11:40Testecleese: Why can't you vote again and own a gun?
- 11:45Brian McFadden: Right.
- 11:47Testecleese: Just my opinion, where do you stand on that idea, as it stands now.
- 11:52Testecleese: You need to file paperwork after so many years after getting out of prison to get these rights back.
- 11:59Brian McFadden: I think I'm still on the paperwork side, you know, because, I mean, if you don't have the initiative to, you know, do the paperwork and request your rights back, you probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.
- 12:12Testecleese: Yeah, but who are you requesting your rights back from?
- 12:17Brian McFadden: The garage.
- 12:18Testecleese: It's whoever's sitting in office that day, and it's usually not the governor or the president making that decision.
- 12:23Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 12:23Testecleese: It's somebody who has partisan views one way or the other.
- 12:28Testecleese: working in the, ATF, right? Right.
- 12:35Testecleese: I don't think the government should have that much authority. I think it should… if you have your gun rights removed for crimes, I think there should be a time… instead of, again, instead of file paperwork in 15 years, we'll see what happens.
- 12:47Testecleese: It should be, you could file, you can… buy a gun.
- 12:52Testecleese: All you have to do is a background check.
- 12:54Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 12:56Testecleese: And it'll show up in your background check, it's like, yeah, they were, you know, until such date, they weren't allowed to own a firearm, but it's the day after that, you know?
- 13:05Testecleese: This is just me, though,
- 13:09Testecleese: Maybe this is my libertarian coming back out, you know, what can I say?
- 13:13Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
- 13:16Testecleese: Oh shit, okay, I saw, like, 4 stories about this, I think you shared it, I'm not sure.
- 13:23Brian McFadden: I was shocked about this a couple weeks ago, yeah.
- 13:25Testecleese: Oh, is that… okay, maybe…
- 13:27Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, and then Animal Control knew these dogs were a problem, but they didn't do anything about it, and it killed somebody.
- 13:34Testecleese: Yeah, these dogs mauled a woman to death in Florida.
- 13:40Testecleese: Husband couldn't stop it. She manages… that's right, you even said, she saved her dog from these dogs, right?
- 13:47Brian McFadden: Yeah,
- 13:48Testecleese: Yeah, I understand, and… Good on you, lady, but…
- 13:55Testecleese: You, as well as I, that dog would be fucking bait.
- 13:59Testecleese: your little lap dog would be bait to get those dogs away from you, and you know it as well as I, wouldn't it?
- 14:06Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 14:07Testecleese: I'm sorry, buddy, I love you, but you're dying today, not me.
- 14:10Brian McFadden: Right.
- 14:11Testecleese: But, yeah, apparently these dogs have attacked other people in the neighborhood more than once.
- 14:21Testecleese: And… I guess these dogs turned up dead?
- 14:27Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 14:28Testecleese: Oh, yeah, well, the husband of the woman that was killed is being investigated.
- 14:32Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 14:33Testecleese: They're not sure… they're waiting for a necropsy to come back, because they.
- 14:36Brian McFadden: Maybe this is a different dog attack, then. I don't think it's the same dog attack.
- 14:42Testecleese: Well, maybe.
- 14:43Brian McFadden: Maybe it is, I don't know.
- 14:44Testecleese: I'm not sure, because I was like, this sounds super familiar.
- 14:47Brian McFadden: It does sound familiar.
- 14:50Testecleese: But yeah, now they're looking at the husband of the woman who died for killing these dogs after the fact, and I was like.
- 14:56Brian McFadden: We'll send the dog back.
- 14:57Testecleese: Why weren't they destroyed by the.
- 14:59Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly. They should have been in the pound and already being euthanized.
- 15:06Testecleese: I'm telling… especially in Florida, how many… there are more guns in Florida than people, right?
- 15:12Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 15:13Testecleese: Why didn't he come out and shoot both these dogs to death? Thing is, it was 2 AM, too. But why didn't he come out and shoot both these dogs to death when they were murdering his wife?
- 15:26Testecleese: Now, Brian, I know you're not a big gun guy, but up there in Michigan, you understand how shit works. If you got 3 coyotes ripping your wife apart, you're grabbing your shotgun, aren't you? Your little 16-gauge.
- 15:37Brian McFadden: Yeah. So, funny thing, funny story here, I downloaded the Michigan State, you know, DNR app to, you know, go ahead and set up.
- 15:45Testecleese: I love it!
- 15:46Brian McFadden: I get my fishing license and stuff like this, but here's the funny thing. When I put in all my information, it found my hunter safety course from 1980, and put it into the app for me.
- 15:58Testecleese: You know what's funny about that is, they made it a big deal that I have to keep my little piece of perforated paper they tore off when I passed my Hunter's education course.
- 16:10Testecleese: I still… I keep it in my wallet, I really shouldn't, but you have to have it on you if you're hunting or fishing.
- 16:15Brian McFadden: Yeah, mine's in the app. I'm like, I did that class in, like, 6th or 7th grade.
- 16:20Brian McFadden: It's true.
- 16:21Brian McFadden: A couple years ago.
- 16:25Brian McFadden: Couple 20, 30, 40.
- 16:28Testecleese: I just…
- 16:30Testecleese: Oh, I don't have my wallet on me. I just don't like that my hunting license says DNR on it.
- 16:36Brian McFadden: Right, right, do not resentate.
- 16:38Testecleese: Yeah, do not res… I'm out with guns in the woods, other people out with guns in the woods. Please resuscitate!
- 16:44Brian McFadden: Yeah!
- 16:47Testecleese: But I was like, what the fuck? It's like, oh, Department of National…
- 16:51Brian McFadden: resources. But I just laughed when I logged in, I set it all up, and there it was. I'm like, wait a minute, this is my actual 100 safety course from 1980.
- 17:00Testecleese: Yeah! Hey, Brian, you wanna go down the thing?
- 17:03Brian McFadden: Michigan keeps better records than I thought!
- 17:08Testecleese: But yeah, exactly. It's like, boom, here you go.
- 17:11Testecleese: I don't know about where you are, but I have to keep my 100 safeties, certificate on me.
- 17:16Brian McFadden: Well, it's in the app, so I can just show them in the app now, as long as I got my phone.
- 17:20Testecleese: I was gonna say, you guys got cell service everywhere?
- 17:23Brian McFadden: Yeah, pretty much. Where I would be hunting and fishing, I would.
- 17:27Brian McFadden: If I went to the Upper Peninsula, that might be an issue up there, you know, but…
- 17:31Testecleese: Yeah, I keep forgetting it's Michigan and not the mountains. Michigan is a lot flatter.
- 17:37Brian McFadden: Yeah, yup.
- 17:39Testecleese: But yeah, we have giant dead zones here. Like, if I go a couple…
- 17:44Testecleese: shoot 300 yards from the house, I lose…
- 17:46Brian McFadden: I've driven through them. I've driven through them.
- 17:48Testecleese: Yeah, and you lose cell signal for hours.
- 17:51Brian McFadden: I had the SOS service, you know? I could text an emergency if needed, and that was it.
- 17:59Testecleese: You're like, where the fuck am I?
- 18:01Brian McFadden: In a national park, did they refuse to put cell towers in?
- 18:06Testecleese: I know, I know, I… I… it's funny.
- 18:08Testecleese: literally, I literally live in the middle of a national forest.
- 18:13Testecleese: It is on both sides of me, the mangonella…
- 18:19Testecleese: National Forest. It's… what is it, like, 80…
- 18:24Testecleese: Oh, shit, I want to say 80,000 acres, but for all I know, it's 800,000 acres. It's enormous.
- 18:31Testecleese: But I drive through parts of that that are hours without cell signal, and then the George Washington forest between Virginia and West Virginia, or between Virginia and Hampton, Virginia, and here.
- 18:45Testecleese: is ours.
- 18:47Testecleese: of the same kind of roads, and I'm pretty sure you drove through the same forest coming from Virginia to come here.
- 18:53Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 18:54Brian McFadden: Oh, sure did.
- 18:56Testecleese: Oh my goodness.
- 18:59Testecleese: We didn't almost run out of gas, but we got to a point, and we said, we better start looking for a gas station, you know?
- 19:06Testecleese: Correct.
- 19:07Testecleese: When you see houses, like, there must be a gas station SOMEWHERE!
- 19:12Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 19:14Brian McFadden: These people can't not ever get gas.
- 19:17Testecleese: Yeah, and just adds up for everyone to say, there are houses. I don't mean, like, suburban Massachusetts.
- 19:24Testecleese: I mean, you know, every couple miles you see a house, or five.
- 19:29Testecleese: And that's it.
- 19:31Brian McFadden: The neighbors aren't close to you.
- 19:34Testecleese: Yeah, exactly. Ugh.
- 19:38Testecleese: Alright, sorry. Sorry to get way off topic, but I just… I'm loving living out here in the mountains, dude. It's…
- 19:46Testecleese: I feel less threatened by anything. I… I feel like I have a better chance of survival against nature than…
- 19:54Testecleese: Man's machinations.
- 20:00Testecleese: Alright.
- 20:02Testecleese: Okay, so what's up with this spy thing?
- 20:05Testecleese: That just lapsed.
- 20:07Brian McFadden: That's FISA.
- 20:09Brian McFadden: So, they're more limited.
- 20:11Testecleese: Foreign Intelligent Security Agency?
- 20:13Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they're still gonna spy on us.
- 20:16Brian McFadden: You really don'.
- 20:17Testecleese: Oh, no, it'.
- 20:17Brian McFadden: buy-in.
- 20:21Testecleese: Well, I mean, does this affect the FISA courts?
- 20:24Testecleese: Because that's what bothers me, these secret courts that no one's allowed to hear about. I'm like, that doesn't sound like a fair court system to me.
- 20:33Testecleese: but wha… I don't know, do… do we need FISA?
- 20:41Brian McFadden: Probably not. They said that it was another one of those after 9-11 things that was set up.
- 20:47Testecleese: Yeah, can't we just put this under frickin', Department of War?
- 20:51Testecleese: and label it.
- 20:53Testecleese: confidential… confidentiality as needed?
- 21:00Testecleese: Darn it. I don't know.
- 21:02Testecleese: It sounds like we don't necessarily need… FISA.
- 21:09Testecleese: Because realistically, the only thing I've seen FISA do since they've been…
- 21:13Testecleese: Put into place is put people into, prison for being terrorists without any kind of trial that anyone could see.
- 21:20Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 21:23Testecleese: This is a big argument the Democrats had in, like, the 90s, I think, right? Or, no, it wasn't the 90s, because it didn't exist until 2001.
- 21:31Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 21:32Testecleese: Right?
- 21:32Brian McFadden: Right.
- 21:35Testecleese: Yeah, Obama put it in place, the Democrats got pissed off because it was secret.
- 21:41Brian McFadden: Noah Bush put in place.
- 21:43Testecleese: Was it Bush?
- 21:44Brian McFadden: Bush was in office for 9-11.
- 21:47Testecleese: Oh, yeah, no, oh, you're right, before 9-11. Maybe Obama had to re-sign it?
- 21:51Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 21:53Testecleese: And then Trump was… Trump tried to re-sign it, but the Democrats said no.
- 21:58Testecleese: Because we don't give a shit about national security if we can't have people walking across the border unchecked, right?
- 22:04Brian McFadden: Right,
- 22:06Testecleese: Which is the opposite of Pfizer.
- 22:08Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 22:08Testecleese: Okay.
- 22:10Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 22:11Testecleese: Dear God, dude.
- 22:14Testecleese: You know, I swear, I swear I am trying to have these libs with these ideas.
- 22:21Testecleese: These thoughts on the show.
- 22:23Brian McFadden: Nobody'll come.
- 22:24Testecleese: They won't come on. Cause they know they don't know what they're talking about.
- 22:31Testecleese: Problem is, I told one dude about the show, and then he went and checked it out for, like, 3 weeks.
- 22:36Testecleese: And I was like, hey, you wanna come on? And he's like, no, he's like, I hate what you guys are doing, you guys are assholes. And I was like, okay, and this is that Sean dude.
- 22:45Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 22:45Testecleese: I was like, well, come tell us why we're wrong. He's like, no, because I can't… I don't know enough of what's going on. I was like, so for all you know, I'm fucking right!
- 22:54Testecleese: You know?
- 22:56Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 22:58Testecleese: And you're… you're pissed off about that, that… the fact that I don't know what's going on…
- 23:04Testecleese: Means you're wrong?
- 23:06Brian McFadden: Right.
- 23:08Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 23:13Testecleese: You know what? I had intended to, but I forgot to bring up a reel of chickens clucking.
- 23:20Brian McFadden: Right.
- 23:22Testecleese: Completely forgot, but Vance apparently was on The View.
- 23:25Brian McFadden: He was on every show this last week. He did all the talk shows.
- 23:29Testecleese: Was this supposed to have something to do with the… he steal with Iran?
- 23:34Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, it's ended up that way, but he just released a book.
- 23:37Testecleese: Yeah, it's supposed to be his book, right?
- 23:39Brian McFadden: Yeah, it was supposed to be all about his book, but yeah.
- 23:43Testecleese: But he's on The View, and…
- 23:45Testecleese: Well, he really shut those fucking hens up, actually, didn't he?
- 23:48Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, that was good.
- 23:51Testecleese: Awww.
- 23:53Brian McFadden: He probably won't be invited back anytime soon.
- 23:57Testecleese: Well, the thing is, Joy Behar told him he should run for president, apparently offstage.
- 24:03Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 24:04Testecleese: And he's a… he's good for a Republican.
- 24:08Testecleese: I guess the rest of the view, like, tore apart the next day, or a couple days later.
- 24:13Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 24:16Testecleese: But… They posited ridiculous ideas, and he explained the point of view of the Republican Party.
- 24:25Brian McFadden: I don't know if he's done enough as vice president, and even got his name out there enough to be nominated as president, you know?
- 24:34Testecleese: Oh, I think Marco Rubio has a way better chance of getting the nomination.
- 24:38Brian McFadden: I do too.
- 24:39Testecleese: Then…
- 24:39Brian McFadden: He's out there all the time, too, speaking around the world, you know, as Secretary of State, so…
- 24:45Brian McFadden: And people know him, he's been on the public scene a lot longer than J.D. Vance.
- 24:50Testecleese: You're right, he's been around a lot longer. He was a congressman for how long?
- 24:55Brian McFadden: turn.
- 24:55Testecleese: And, yeah, exactly. And, Secretary of State's not a…
- 25:01Testecleese: Small role in the federal government.
- 25:04Brian McFadden: No, I bet he's home… I bet he's home, like, maybe one week a month, if that, you know. He is on his plane, flying somewhere all the time.
- 25:14Brian McFadden: putting out fires, especially with the Iran thing. I'm sure he's been on the go, go, go.
- 25:20Testecleese: Okay, first of all, I want to make a couple jokes about that. First of all, JD Vance said that…
- 25:28Testecleese: the leaders of Iran are nasty negotiators, but the women of the view were way worse, and they managed to handle them.
- 25:37Testecleese: And it's funny, because the women on The View actually took it as a compliment.
- 25:41Brian McFadden: Of course they did.
- 25:44Brian McFadden: Because they're idiots.
- 25:46Testecleese: Yeah, and Rubio,
- 25:50Testecleese: at least when he's flying around the world that's for work and not to go on vacation, he's putting out fires when he flies around, instead of letting fires burn when he flies around, like California governors, governors do, you know. I'm sorry, it was the mayor.
- 26:04Brian McFadden: Mayor. Mayor.
- 26:06Testecleese: The mayor was in South America, I think, was it, or was it Africa?
- 26:12Brian McFadden: Someplace in Africa.
- 26:14Testecleese: Yeah, Ghana or something like that.
- 26:19Testecleese: When the fires were occurring, it's like, wow.
- 26:23Brian McFadden: She knew before she left.
- 26:24Brian McFadden: There was a distinct possibility of forest fires.
- 26:27Testecleese: And, okay, you find… you hear that, oh, we'll take the risk. When you come back once the fire started.
- 26:35Brian McFadden: Yeah, you should! Most definitely.
- 26:40Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 26:43Brian McFadden: Not her.
- 26:45Testecleese: So… But yeah, Vance is actually… he… he quelched…
- 26:51Testecleese: The, the upsetness, the… the angst.
- 26:55Testecleese: Of The View women, which is unheard of, let's be real. And only Whoopi called him racist.
- 27:04Testecleese: One of them told him he should run for president, which I could have sworn you guys told us, a year and a half ago that he was just as bad as Hitler.
- 27:12Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 27:16Testecleese: I'm having a tough time believing you women, you know?
- 27:19Brian McFadden: Exactly. They say one thing and do something else.
- 27:22Brian McFadden: There, they change their story, you know, as fast as they can.
- 27:26Brian McFadden: When it's convenient.
- 27:28Testecleese: Here's a… A sad story.
- 27:32Testecleese: Yeah, Major Oak.
- 27:35Testecleese: It is the massive oak tree famous in the Robin Hood stories, back… way back in England, I believe it was 1200 years ago?
- 27:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, a 1200-year-old tree.
- 27:46Testecleese: 1200-year-old tree in Sherwood Forest was killed, and it says killed, it was 1200 years old, oak tree.
- 27:54Brian McFadden: They're killed by too many tour visitors.
- 27:57Testecleese: Well, they're saying that people were going up and touching it, and the sheer walking up to it…
- 28:04Testecleese: Over 1,200 years, all of these feet.
- 28:07Testecleese: With body weight upon them, walking up to the tree, compacted the dirt like concrete.
- 28:13Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 28:14Testecleese: So… so moisture wouldn't get down to the tree?
- 28:17Testecleese: But they're pointing out that, like, the structures they built to try to support the tree, didn't help it. Problem is, they shouldn't have tried to build it up to support the tree, they should have cut off dead parts of the tree.
- 28:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 28:29Brian McFadden: They don't… nobody does that anymore.
- 28:32Testecleese: Yeah, you cut off the dead part and let the live part continue to get sunlight, instead of trying to spread… instead of trying to spread the nutrition to everyone, let those who work survive.
- 28:45Testecleese: So, yeah, this… 1200-year-old tree, famous tree from the Robin Hood stories.
- 28:52Testecleese: Is considered dead. They're not sure, because it… Let's be 100% fair here.
- 28:59Testecleese: Sometimes trees take a little longer to sprout.
- 29:03Testecleese: Maybe it's on its dying leg, maybe it's a whatever, but…
- 29:08Testecleese: Instead of trying to support this tree, why don't you go to cut off the definitely dead stuff, go up there and till the earth around the base of the tree, and water it.
- 29:18Testecleese: But they won't do that either, will they?
- 29:20Brian McFadden: No.
- 29:22Testecleese: No.
- 29:24Testecleese: Alright, you shared this,
- 29:27Testecleese: I… don't give a shit. I have never once in my entire life seen the Jack in the Box.
- 29:35Brian McFadden: I have. I was not in there twice in the last week.
- 29:37Testecleese: And I remember as a fact, I think it was the 90s, maybe it was the late 80s, Jack in the Box got in a lot of trouble when someone ordered, like, french fries and got, like, a fried rat or something.
- 29:47Brian McFadden: Nice.
- 29:48Testecleese: I'm pretty sure that's what rules are.
- 29:49Brian McFadden: That's a delicacy.
- 29:51Testecleese: Mmm.
- 29:52Brian McFadden: But, no. I mean, this is a West Coast, Shane, you've never been stationed on the West Coast, so you wouldn't…
- 29:57Testecleese: No, but I've been to California, I've still never seen… I've still never seen a Jack in the Box.
- 30:01Brian McFadden: They're everywhere in California, them and Del Tacos.
- 30:03Testecleese: I was in the LA area.
- 30:08Brian McFadden: I was number 3 in line.
- 30:11Brian McFadden: To get in when they opened up for the very first time.
- 30:15Testecleese: Was it any good?
- 30:17Brian McFadden: It's not bad.
- 30:19Brian McFadden: They're one of those places that eventually they'll be open 24 hours a day, and they serve their breakfast menu 24 hours a day, in addition to their lunch menu. You can order anything onto their menu at any time.
- 30:30Testecleese: Oh, alright.
- 30:33Testecleese: Yeah, but it's a drive-through, so it's probably not a…
- 30:38Brian McFadden: Well, there's inside places to sit during the daylight, you know?
- 30:42Brian McFadden: There is a diamond.
- 30:43Testecleese: Probably not getting, eggs and bacon breakfast at, you know, 6 in the… I say 6 in the morning.
- 30:48Testecleese: 1 in the morning.
- 30:51Brian McFadden: You could. I mean, it's gonna be, like, you know, bacon, egg, cheese, biscuit, or croissant, or a burrito-type deal.
- 31:00Testecleese: Yeah.
- 31:00Brian McFadden: So, yeah.
- 31:01Testecleese: Yeah, like a Duggan Donuts, does it?
- 31:03Brian McFadden: Yeah, alright.
- 31:04Testecleese: Okay. Yeah, like I said, I've never even seen one, let alone been into one.
- 31:10Testecleese: But all I can remember is that big scandal they had way back in the day with, like, there was, like, a full-on… not even, like, a piece of a rat, like, a full-on fried rat.
- 31:18Testecleese: Instead of french fries.
- 31:22Testecleese: Pretty much ruin their name.
- 31:24Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 31:26Testecleese: But…
- 31:27Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're making a comeback. We're gonna have, like, 5 of them owned by this same…
- 31:32Brian McFadden: Indian family. They own almost everything. They own, like, a hotel right behind where the Jack in the Box is, so they own the whole property, so…
- 31:42Brian McFadden: Must be nice to have that kind of moment.
- 31:44Testecleese: Are they at least American, too?
- 31:47Brian McFadden: Probably now.
- 31:49Testecleese: Probably now.
- 31:51Brian McFadden: And we looked it up. To start a Jack in the Box franchise, you gotta have $1.7 million.
- 31:57Brian McFadden: To put into it, and then, like, $50,000, $60,000 liquid.
- 32:04Testecleese: Yeah, same thing with, like, a Burger King. You need something like a million, half million just to apply for the, franchisee license, and then you have to actually
- 32:14Testecleese: Build the Burger King.
- 32:16Brian McFadden: Right.
- 32:17Testecleese: Then yes, you own it, But it's not your rules.
- 32:21Brian McFadden: Right, you gotta follow the franchise, you gotta follow the corporate rules.
- 32:26Testecleese: And let's be real, Burger King, McDonald's…
- 32:31Testecleese: Whole bunch of them are pretty well established.
- 32:34Testecleese: you're probably gonna make money. Jack in the Box is making a comeback.
- 32:38Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 32:39Testecleese: This is either a really good chance to make a shit ton of money, or lose a ton of money. Right.
- 32:45Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 32:47Brian McFadden: Only time will sell.
- 32:49Testecleese: Yeah, it's tough to compete against Burger King McDonald's, let's be real.
- 32:52Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 32:52Testecleese: You know?
- 32:54Brian McFadden: Yeah, there's a McDonald's across the road from it, so…
- 32:56Testecleese: Well, there you go. Prime example.
- 33:01Brian McFadden: This could have been in follow-up.
- 33:03Brian McFadden: Right here, because we did talk about this story in the past. This is the, the guy that deployed after he got elected to the school board. He did some.
- 33:11Testecleese: Yes.
- 33:12Brian McFadden: school board meetings virtually when he could, but eventually he couldn't do it virtually anymore. And then people on the school board were so pissed that they couldn't vote stuff through like they wanted to, that they asked them to resign.
- 33:25Brian McFadden: He did not resign.
- 33:28Brian McFadden: And this… Lisa Kane, whoever she is.
- 33:32Brian McFadden: She's a lawmaker here in Michigan.
- 33:37Brian McFadden: She's the House GOP Conference Chairwoman.
- 33:41Brian McFadden: She…
- 33:42Testecleese: And she's targeting deployed active duty members.
- 33:45Brian McFadden: No, she was the one that came out and said to the school board that it was wrong for them to do that, that they were trying to remove a conservative colleague from missing meetings while on deployment in the Middle East.
- 33:56Testecleese: Hmm.
- 33:57Testecleese: Okay.
- 34:00Testecleese: Does this… does this matter?
- 34:02Brian McFadden: Not anymore, he's back.
- 34:06Testecleese: Oh, he's wonderful.
- 34:07Brian McFadden: over.
- 34:10Testecleese: Has that screwed anything up with his vote back?
- 34:15Testecleese: Oh, jeez.
- 34:15Brian McFadden: I was just saying that, you know, calling it, it was…
- 34:19Brian McFadden: A stupid distraction that shouldn't have taken place.
- 34:23Testecleese: Oh, it was a giant waste of everything, and you guys ignored everything else. Okay.
- 34:28Testecleese: Well, over here, there's some country singer, I don't know country, I don't give a shit, I don't like it, but people do.
- 34:36Testecleese: This guy, Charles Wesley Gotland. Godlin.
- 34:42Testecleese: Apparently raised a big stink about Country Roads Take Me Home by John Denver.
- 34:47Brian McFadden: Yup, however.
- 34:47Testecleese: That's ridic.
- 34:48Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 34:49Testecleese: Yeah, how everyone says the song's not actually about West Virginia, it's about Western Virginia?
- 34:54Testecleese: This guy threw a shit fit, basically.
- 34:58Testecleese: Because he had to communicate with the family of John Denver to do this, like, extra song he wrote that, like, tied in with it.
- 35:08Brian McFadden: Right.
- 35:08Testecleese: own tour.
- 35:10Testecleese: And they all said, no, it's about West Virginia.
- 35:14Testecleese: I mean, the geography… For the most part, could be either state.
- 35:20Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 35:20Testecleese: But everyone says John Denver said it wasn't, and no one can actually show me the video of him saying that.
- 35:28Testecleese: Apparently, apparently it's these guys, about these guys driving through Harper's Ferry.
- 35:34Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 35:35Testecleese: What is that, where, like, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia all meet, basically.
- 35:40Brian McFadden: It's all part of that area, yeah.
- 35:43Testecleese: Yeah.
- 35:44Testecleese: Yeah, it's about his trek, west from there, and… Writing about what he saw.
- 35:52Brian McFadden: Does it really matter? I mean, it's just a song? Why… what's the big blow-up about it? Why is he so mad about it?
- 35:58Testecleese: Well, because there's a lot of people that swear it's not about West Virginia.
- 36:03Testecleese: It's about Western Virginia. West Virginia is a bunch of fucking inbred hillbillies that, you know, fuck their sisters.
- 36:11Testecleese: Is their argument?
- 36:14Testecleese: And it's like, it's the most beautiful scenery you're gonna see in this fucking country.
- 36:20Testecleese: And that's why he wrote a song about it, you know?
- 36:26Testecleese: We got… two sheriff's deputies over here in, Berkeley County, which is… 2-hour drive from me.
- 36:37Testecleese: They got picked up for fraud charges.
- 36:41Testecleese: Multi-million dollar fraud scheme.
- 36:44Testecleese: And… I can't quite remember exactly what they did.
- 36:48Testecleese: Oh, I'm sorry, they were stealing, taxpayer funds and misappropriating, conservator account assets. So apparently these cops were, like.
- 36:59Testecleese: Taking taxpayer money to, like, for, like, you know, like, gang cleanup or whatever.
- 37:04Brian McFadden: Wow.
- 37:06Testecleese: And paying themselves.
- 37:08Brian McFadden: That's… okay, sounds like fraud, definitely.
- 37:12Testecleese: Yeah.
- 37:17Testecleese: Yeah, they've been picked up. They're gonna be going to prison pretty soon.
- 37:22Testecleese: And dude, we're gonna come back to this soon enough.
- 37:29Testecleese: But this, foiled terror attack in DC.
- 37:35Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 37:37Brian McFadden: Mother called it in.
- 37:39Testecleese: Yeah, well, yes, but the people… of the peop…
- 37:42Testecleese: the guy said he was looking after, like, capitalists and billionaires, right? And then he mentioned, Shelley Moore Caputo, or Capito?
- 37:52Testecleese: Jim Justice, as well as, Miller, Kara Miller and Riley Moore. So that's, both senators from West Virginia and two congressional representatives from West Virginia. If you want to talk about wealthy billionaires, let's not
- 38:06Testecleese: West Virginia, right?
- 38:07Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 38:13Testecleese: And we're definitely gonna get into this, because, Brian, I wanna talk to you about what happened in the,
- 38:20Testecleese: In DC in general, but this…
- 38:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 38:23Testecleese: Trying to create a flow.
- 38:28Testecleese: But anyway, that moves us on to what happened in Virginia, because.
- 38:31Brian McFadden: This is a stupid… I leaked at this article and actually read the damn thing.
- 38:37Brian McFadden: This study says that Virginia's the third most likely state to survive an alien invasion, and they're saying it's…
- 38:43Testecleese: shared this, and I only read it because I thought it was fucking stupid. Did you see the two states that beat Virginia?
- 38:49Brian McFadden: Maryland was one of them!
- 38:51Testecleese: Massachusetts is the other!
- 38:54Brian McFadden: How are they gonna survive without any guns?
- 38:59Testecleese: What's funny, they mentioned specifically Virginia was because all the military.
- 39:03Brian McFadden: Military, yeah.
- 39:04Testecleese: And it says, specifically, extraterrestrial aliens, not illegal aliens.
- 39:09Brian McFadden: Right, yep, yep.
- 39:12Testecleese: I was like, what?
- 39:13Brian McFadden: I'm like, who's got time to come up with these stupid studies and get paid for it?
- 39:20Testecleese: First world problems, huh?
- 39:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 39:23Testecleese: You're not worried about eating or staying warm. You're… you're…
- 39:28Testecleese: Spending your time figuring out which states can handle an extraterrestrial invasion better.
- 39:35Testecleese: And I'm telling you, where I am has a better chance, because the aliens are gonna have a tougher time
- 39:40Testecleese: Finding anything.
- 39:43Testecleese: Mass… Massachusetts?
- 39:46Testecleese: Ranked higher… higher than Virginia, and military was on the list.
- 39:52Testecleese: What military.
- 39:53Brian McFadden: There's not much military left in Massachusetts. Constellation.
- 39:57Testecleese: the Constitution.
- 39:58Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 40:00Testecleese: Yeah, okay.
- 40:01Brian McFadden: a world of.
- 40:02Brian McFadden: Great, the Navy's over.
- 40:05Testecleese: 250-year-old wooden boat.
- 40:08Brian McFadden: With cannons. Yeah, yeah.
- 40:11Testecleese: 200-year-old cannons in it!
- 40:17Testecleese: Old Ironside!
- 40:18Brian McFadden: Ha ha ha.
- 40:19Testecleese: No, no, that's fucking great in 18… oh, sorry, 1776.
- 40:24Testecleese: But, you know, you know our actual modern ships are actually made of iron!
- 40:32Testecleese: Oh my god, dude!
- 40:36Brian McFadden: The things that come across our news feeds are just ridiculous.
- 40:41Testecleese: But I was like, Wisconsin has a better chance of a defense against…
- 40:45Brian McFadden: And what about Montana, or some of these states that are in the middle of the country, you know?
- 40:52Testecleese: That's what I was thinking with Wisconsin, that border's Michigan, right?
- 40:55Brian McFadden: Yeah, yep.
- 40:57Testecleese: There's nothing out there. It's fucking cows, and a bunch of guys with guns.
- 41:03Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 41:05Testecleese: Which is what I thought Michigan was, and so they decided voting Democrat.
- 41:09Brian McFadden: We'll see. I bought the vote in the primary here in August, so…
- 41:12Testecleese: Oh, you're gonna be the swing vote?
- 41:14Brian McFadden: I hope so. Me and my wife.
- 41:16Testecleese: Alright.
- 41:16Testecleese: Alright, let me grab a beer, tell me what's going on.
- 41:20Brian McFadden: So, we… the DOJ is suing, Virginia because now that we… the state has a Democrat governor again, she put this law in effect that says that federal agents aren't allowed to wear masks.
- 41:36Brian McFadden: And so, once again, we got a state trying to tell the federal government what they can and cannot do in the state.
- 41:44Testecleese: Not even that, dude, it brings me up to the argument that they tried… they forced us to wear masks for how long?
- 41:52Brian McFadden: Right.
- 41:54Brian McFadden: But now, it doesn't fit their narrative now, so…
- 41:58Testecleese: Now it's illegal to wear a mask!
- 42:00Brian McFadden: Right. Even though it's still random… not… actually, since I've been in Michigan, I have seen no one wear a mask.
- 42:07Brian McFadden: It was in Virginia, you'd still see them randomly, but nobody in Michigan wears a mask.
- 42:12Testecleese: That's because you're not in the city. You were next to the city.
- 42:16Testecleese: You were in the city of Virginia.
- 42:19Testecleese: Now you're in the fucking country.
- 42:21Brian McFadden: Yes, I am.
- 42:22Testecleese: The people around you have guns instead of dust masks.
- 42:26Brian McFadden: The best internet I can get is Starlink, you know, that's how country I am, so…
- 42:32Brian McFadden: Which works fine, works great, I have no complaints about a lot of people.
- 42:36Testecleese: It seems to work… it seems to work well enough, at least for what we're doing.
- 42:40Brian McFadden: Yo, nope.
- 42:41Testecleese: I mean, we're not absorbing a ton of, bandwidth, but I'm certain
- 42:47Testecleese: We're using a significant data portion, doing.
- 42:50Brian McFadden: We are when we're on Zoom, definitely, yeah.
- 42:52Testecleese: Yeah, that's it, because we're doing video back and forth, and that no one else is seeing, that we don't have to be doing.
- 42:57Brian McFadden: Right, but it makes the show more interactive for us, so…
- 43:02Testecleese: Yeah, because I can see your reaction, and laugh, and keep going, or whatever.
- 43:05Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 43:05Testecleese: You know?
- 43:10Testecleese: But yeah, this is… I don't understand why…
- 43:13Testecleese: Spanberger thinks she has the authority over the President of the United States. Like, I'm pretty sure, the Civil War…
- 43:22Testecleese: Was the changing point of this when it became.
- 43:25Brian McFadden: You would think. But I think… When the federal public… Is the Civil War still taught in school?
- 43:31Testecleese: No, in terms of when the federal government Always took precedence over state.
- 43:37Testecleese: Because, I don't know, I don't know if you realize.
- 43:40Testecleese: The federal constitution of the United States used to only apply to the federal government.
- 43:47Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 43:47Testecleese: Individual states could still take your weapons from you.
- 43:51Testecleese: But then after the Civil War, that was when the federal government said, no, no, no.
- 43:57Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 43:57Testecleese: And actually, it was over guns, believe it or not.
- 44:00Testecleese: You just… you can't just own slaves. These guys are allowed to defend themselves, etc, the whole…
- 44:06Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 44:06Testecleese: They have rights to thing.
- 44:08Brian McFadden: Right.
- 44:11Testecleese: Which is crazy, watching these people make arguments.
- 44:17Testecleese: that contradict themselves in terms of the history, you know? Right. They don't know how any of this shit worked, they…
- 44:24Testecleese: They've been pampered their entire lives. They've never had to work, they've never struggled, and that's why they can come out
- 44:32Testecleese: on a fucking Wednesday afternoon, for 5 hours.
- 44:38Testecleese: And bitch about the government.
- 44:40Testecleese: Because they don't have to be at work to pay their fucking bills.
- 44:44Brian McFadden: Right.
- 44:46Testecleese: Oh, no, they're poor, too. Obviously not, because they have somewhere to go home tonight.
- 44:51Testecleese: You know?
- 44:52Testecleese: If I don't pay my mortgage, I don't get to go home. If you don't pay your rent, you don't get to go home, you know, et cetera, et cetera, down the line.
- 45:04Testecleese: Why should I give you access to my… Gains.
- 45:11Testecleese: Unless you're willing to put in some of your gains, you know what I mean?
- 45:15Brian McFadden: Yeah, I got it.
- 45:16Testecleese: Just like in a real, true communism.
- 45:19Testecleese: the lazy are kicked out or executed, depending on the size of the communism you're talking about. If we're talking about, like, United States communism, and as far as…
- 45:30Testecleese: 20 people to go live in the fucking national forest alone?
- 45:36Testecleese: The lazy will get kicked out.
- 45:38Brian McFadden: Right.
- 45:39Testecleese: Because everyone else dies supporting them.
- 45:43Testecleese: Whereas in Soviet Union, they got executed for the same reason.
- 45:47Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 45:50Testecleese: Well, how you gonna kick him out of…
- 45:52Testecleese: Soviet Union from Moscow, you know what I mean?
- 45:55Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 45:58Testecleese: boat's a lot cheaper than, the gasoline to get them out of the Union.
- 46:02Testecleese: And this is the thing, a lot of these… Communists don't realize is They think…
- 46:08Testecleese: They think by taking all of Elon Musk's money today, we'll solve the entire world's problems forever.
- 46:16Brian McFadden: Right.
- 46:17Testecleese: It wouldn't even feed the hungry on the planet.
- 46:20Testecleese: For a week.
- 46:24Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 46:25Testecleese: Now what? Now you've taken the chief moneymaker from the planet off the map.
- 46:31Testecleese: Which means anyone who works for him is no longer making money.
- 46:37Testecleese: who's going to pay for all these programs you want so bad? You know?
- 46:43Testecleese: Now, now you have to pick up a fucking shuffle.
- 46:46Brian McFadden: Right.
- 46:48Testecleese: And that… no, I wanna be a fucking artist, man. I'm gonna play my guitar when we hit the communist, utopia. No, no, you're gonna be breaking fucking rocks, because you don't know how to weld, you don't know how to plumb, you don't know how to fix a car, you don't know how to repair a computer.
- 47:06Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 47:07Testecleese: You're gonna smash the rocks, and then someone else is gonna come and look inside of it and go, yeah, bring this piece over there, bring that piece over there, because they recognize what's inside of it.
- 47:17Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 47:19Testecleese: There's no place for art in a communism.
- 47:23Testecleese: Surprise.
- 47:23Brian McFadden: Who does.
- 47:24Testecleese: first. Survival comes first.
- 47:27Testecleese: You need wealth for art.
- 47:32Testecleese: But, you know… I'm a nutjob, huh?
- 47:35Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, you're a wacko that lives out in the middle of nowhere.
- 47:39Testecleese: Yeah, which, by the way, I'm thinking about bringing back our predictions page, dude.
- 47:43Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 47:44Testecleese: We were… Well, we were something like 85-90% the time we did it.
- 47:50Testecleese: I think… I think we've gone up in, probably.
- 47:55Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 47:57Testecleese: Wow.
- 47:58Testecleese: Alright.
- 47:59Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 48:02Testecleese: Richmond's Democratic Socialist Leaders Waged Decades-Long Warren. Oh, yeah.
- 48:11Testecleese: The fucking… commies.
- 48:15Testecleese: in Virginia, trying to… not even… no, it's not even Richmond, Virginia, I think it's Richmond, Washington.
- 48:21Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's not Richmond, Virginia.
- 48:23Testecleese: Yeah, it shouldn't be where it is. I just saw Richmond.
- 48:26Brian McFadden: That's fine, huh.
- 48:27Testecleese: They're trying to push, Chevron out for, you know, destroying the planet.
- 48:31Brian McFadden: Actually, California.
- 48:32Brian McFadden: This is Richland, Richmond, California, yeah. They've been there for decades, they've supported the economy with billions of dollars over these years, and because it's California, they're trying to push them out, and…
- 48:45Brian McFadden: A lot of people are gonna lose a lot of high-paying jobs if they go to Texas.
- 48:49Testecleese: And that's the thing, is these people are like, oh, the oil company runs the gov… runs the people here, or whatever, and it's like, you mean the job?
- 48:58Brian McFadden: Right.
- 49:00Brian McFadden: They're not gonna get another high-paying company in California anymore, because they're all fleeing the state as fast as they possibly can.
- 49:07Testecleese: Why would anyone move in?
- 49:09Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 49:10Testecleese: The only… the only thing you're gonna get is startups.
- 49:14Testecleese: That have to deal with California regulation.
- 49:17Testecleese: Which is… which means the startup's gonna fail, because they're dealing with Chevron regulations, you know?
- 49:23Brian McFadden: Right.
- 49:26Testecleese: Oh, you ran your fucking electric grill 9 hours today?
- 49:31Brian McFadden: Good luck.
- 49:31Testecleese: That's a $5,000 charge. It's like, I'm a fucking restaurant, you only use natural gas!
- 49:38Brian McFadden: Right.
- 49:39Brian McFadden: Thankfully, they can put natural gas in their restaurants again.
- 49:43Testecleese: The problem is, these folks don't realize, is… You're not just losing the…
- 49:49Testecleese: tax base of Chevron, you're losing…
- 49:53Testecleese: the taxes… okay, I'm gonna assume that the paychecks of the employees is Chevron tax, too, but you're losing out on the tax the state would bring from these people spending their money.
- 50:04Testecleese: And paying their bills. Now they're unemployed and taking money from the government teat.
- 50:12Testecleese: Where's the government gonna get the money?
- 50:14Testecleese: To pay for all this if you chase out everyone bringing money in.
- 50:20Brian McFadden: That's a very good question.
- 50:23Testecleese: Oh, let's just say, for example, I live… let's just say, for example, I live in the middle of nowhere.
- 50:28Testecleese: Okay.
- 50:29Brian McFadden: - you do.
- 50:31Testecleese: Yes, and I set up a small landscaping business for everyone in the surrounding area.
- 50:39Testecleese: and I hire… We'll say 30% of the population within 50 miles of me.
- 50:48Brian McFadden: That's pretty good.
- 50:49Testecleese: Yeah, well, that's actually… it is pretty good no matter where you are, realistically.
- 50:54Brian McFadden: Yeah,
- 50:56Testecleese: And now the government says, you can't do this, we hate you.
- 51:01Testecleese: We're gonna tax you out of business. Now, 30% of the population just lost their jobs.
- 51:09Testecleese: So now there's no money moving above for the government to tax.
- 51:16Testecleese: Especially in this… Probably poor, impoverished area where no one lives.
- 51:25Testecleese: Here's the thing.
- 51:27Testecleese: Most common day items cost about the same here as they do everywhere else.
- 51:32Testecleese: You know, beer, etc, etc.
- 51:36Brian McFadden: Speaking of beer, were you able to find some?
- 51:38Testecleese: Yeah, oh, yeah, I think the strike's over, dude. There were 30 racks, abound everywhere.
- 51:46Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 51:48Testecleese: I was getting ready, I was gonna bring up in the UFC shit, but I was gonna bring up how I was…
- 51:53Testecleese: ready to say it's time to stop the, boycott of Anheuser-Busch, and I actually was thinking this when I thought I was gonna have to buy Bud Light.
- 52:04Brian McFadden: Well, it was gonna be good for the show, because we were gonna get a donation then, so… Yeah.
- 52:12Testecleese: But they're still… Bud Light supported the UFC event on the…
- 52:17Brian McFadden: They're, they're the sponsor.
- 52:19Testecleese: Yeah. They're making an effort.
- 52:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 52:22Testecleese: they abandoned.
- 52:23Brian McFadden: They found the real target audience when they decided to become a sponsor of UFC, so…
- 52:29Testecleese: Found or remembered?
- 52:30Brian McFadden: Remembered.
- 52:33Testecleese: Yeah. Who buys our garbage beer? Oh, that's right, frat boys!
- 52:37Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 52:41Testecleese: Yeah.
- 52:41Testecleese: Yeah. Anyway… Okay, what's this?
- 52:49Testecleese: Spanberger? What's going on in, Virginia with Spanberger and illegals?
- 52:55Brian McFadden: They just… the Department of Homeland Security's trying to stop them from… they've…
- 53:01Brian McFadden: Virginia is a sanctuary state now, thanks to the Democrats in power.
- 53:05Testecleese: Yep.
- 53:07Brian McFadden: And… we've got illegal… there's this illegal immigrant that was charged.
- 53:12Brian McFadden: with, I think it's child abuse, if I remember the article.
- 53:16Testecleese: I believe it was sexual… Sexual child sex?
- 53:19Brian McFadden: sex abuse, At a babysitter's house, but was granted a $5,000 secured bond.
- 53:25Testecleese: Yeah, it's like, this guy has no reason to stay in the area. What makes you think he's coming back for trial?
- 53:30Brian McFadden: He's not.
- 53:32Testecleese: No, he's already out of the country.
- 53:34Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 53:35Testecleese: I sh… I…
- 53:36Brian McFadden: The DHS was saying, hey, why'd you put him out, let him out on bond? You know, we should have came and picked them up and started the deportation process because of this.
- 53:46Brian McFadden: But now I guarantee we'll never hear from Jose, Nahun, Alman, Hernandez.
- 53:52Brian McFadden: Ever again.
- 53:54Testecleese: See, this is something that bothers me, that the… I guess the libs either… Forgot, or…
- 54:02Testecleese: Or… pretending they don't know about, but…
- 54:06Testecleese: How long has I committed a crime of running to Mexico to not go to prison been a thing?
- 54:13Brian McFadden: Not long.
- 54:16Testecleese: What are you talking about,
- 54:17Testecleese: Jimi Hendrix wrote the song, Hey Joe.
- 54:21Testecleese: It was when he killed his wife, or his woman.
- 54:25Testecleese: For fucking some other guy, and he was gonna run to Mexico so he wouldn't be, executed for it.
- 54:31Testecleese: And that was in the 70s.
- 54:33Testecleese: By the way, that was 50 years ago!
- 54:36Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 54:39Testecleese: Y-you know, hey, Joe.
- 54:41Brian McFadden: Yeah, of course Thought it was, hey, Jude.
- 54:44Testecleese: No, that was the Beatles, you asshole.
- 54:48Testecleese: No, hey Joe, where you gonna,
- 54:50Testecleese: What are you doing with that gun in your hand?
- 54:53Brian McFadden: Oh, that one, okay, okay, I know.
- 54:54Testecleese: Yeah, I shot my old lady, you know, I caught her messing around, messing around town.
- 55:00Testecleese: And he says he's gonna run down to Mexico, where he can be free. Ain't no hangman. He ain't gonna put no rope around me.
- 55:07Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 55:08Testecleese: What makes you think people in other countries aren't doing the same thing?
- 55:13Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
- 55:17Testecleese: Are you assuming that they can't think on that high of an order?
- 55:22Testecleese: Because that's racist.
- 55:23Brian McFadden: That's stupid. Stupidity.
- 55:29Testecleese: And, and…
- 55:30Brian McFadden: We talked about this mayor, too, you know, in the past.
- 55:34Testecleese: I love…
- 55:34Brian McFadden: How in the hell did he get elected when he's not even a U.S. citizen? Now he's facing deportation back to Mexico.
- 55:44Testecleese: You know what's funny is he's allowed to be mayor, but he wasn't allowed to vote.
- 55:47Brian McFadden: Yeah, he voted.
- 55:49Testecleese: But he made a big deal about how he voted, and it brought attention to him.
- 55:53Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 55:56Brian McFadden: Stupid people.
- 55:58Testecleese: Yeah, well, you play stupid games, man, you win stupid prizes, right?
- 56:04Testecleese: I just left my nuts off that he was bragging about all this shit.
- 56:09Testecleese: Now, the federal government can't do shit. I'm like, oh, you're going back to Mexico. You… you broke our…
- 56:14Brian McFadden: You're probably gonna live there in 30 years, but we don't care, you know, you're not a… you broke the log in here, and we can depart you anytime we want.
- 56:22Testecleese: Well, here's the question, is the asshole still know Spanish well enough to go back there?
- 56:25Brian McFadden: Probably not.
- 56:28Brian McFadden: I don't care. Don't matter.
- 56:31Testecleese: I mean, first language.
- 56:32Brian McFadden: He needs to go to Cancun, or Cabo San Lucas, you know, where the tourists go, so they all speak English.
- 56:41Testecleese: They are some nice places.
- 56:47Brian McFadden: This could have been in follow-up, too, here, that, there's gods that, let the ith person, the, the, the.
- 56:55Testecleese: I know.
- 56:56Brian McFadden: out of the… her courtroom through a back door.
- 57:00Brian McFadden: She loses her day.
- 57:01Testecleese: Hannah Duggan, right?
- 57:03Brian McFadden: Yeah, she is going to jail slash prison.
- 57:06Testecleese: Is she going to jail?
- 57:09Testecleese: Well, she's guilty!
- 57:10Brian McFadden: We have ice obstruction, so what do you think?
- 57:12Testecleese: I think…
- 57:13Brian McFadden: You think she's just gonna get a fine? And lose her job?
- 57:17Testecleese: I couldn't find a sentence, all I could find was that she's no longer a judge.
- 57:21Brian McFadden: It does say former Wisconsin judge.
- 57:25Testecleese: So I don't know what her penalty was. Maybe it was just… being disbarred.
- 57:31Brian McFadden: Let me…
- 57:31Testecleese: I don't know.
- 57:32Brian McFadden: TV can figure it out.
- 57:33Testecleese: Because judges tend to get lighter sentences for some reason, even though they should get stiffer sentences.
- 57:40Brian McFadden: It was a 32-page ruling, so…
- 57:43Testecleese: Yeah.
- 57:44Testecleese: Dude, dude, I started drinking at, like, noon today.
- 57:50Testecleese: I was weed whacking out in the yard.
- 57:53Testecleese: Ran out of… Line in my whacker.
- 57:58Testecleese: When to go… I grew up… my spool
- 58:02Testecleese: Am I spllying to re-spool my spool?
- 58:06Testecleese: Grabbed a beer, drank my beer as I looked at it.
- 58:10Brian McFadden: He hasn't been sentenced yet.
- 58:13Testecleese: Okay, that's what it is, then.
- 58:15Brian McFadden: She faces, it looks like… although reports indicate probation, it's considered more likely than prison under the federal guidelines.
- 58:29Brian McFadden: Probation, whatever. I give up. That's why people are so disillusioned with the…
- 58:35Brian McFadden: With the, federal justice system, you know, that…
- 58:39Brian McFadden: people break the law, and if they're people of power or prestige, meaning judge or famous person, they get a slap on the wrist, where if it was me or Jeffrey that did the same thing, we'd be in prison.
- 58:54Brian McFadden: No questions asked.
- 58:58Brian McFadden: It's a two-sided justice system.
- 59:01Brian McFadden: And… It sucks.
- 59:12Testecleese: What's up?
- 59:14Brian McFadden: I was just talking about… I found on ChatGBT that said that she hadn't been sentenced yet, and probation was more likely than prison time. And I was going on a rant.
- 59:23Brian McFadden: about our two-tiered justice system that we have in the United States. If you're a judge, or a politician, or a famous person, you get a slap on your wrist, where if it was you or me, they did the same thing, we'd be in prison.
- 59:36Testecleese: Well, here's the thing, is they hold police to a higher standard, but not judges. This judge should be serving the maximum sentence, just like Jeffrey, Jeffrey Chauvin, right? Yeah.
- 59:46Brian McFadden: I agree.
- 59:48Testecleese: Instead of the minimum sentence. This should be a, no, no, no, you knew better than what.
- 59:53Brian McFadden: Here's a purpose.
- 59:54Testecleese: Whereas Chauvin was trained this by the police department.
- 59:58Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:00:00Testecleese: I think, and yeah, no, you're right,
- 1:00:06Testecleese: Two-tier justice system is not new here.
- 1:00:09Brian McFadden: No, I know.
- 1:00:13Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:00:14Testecleese: Let's move on to what's going on in hoax hate.
- 1:00:19Testecleese: Shit, Brian. I don't know what's going on, maybe we're having a good time, maybe I'm just fucking drunk, but we are moving super slow tonight.
- 1:00:29Testecleese: Or maybe we're just having good conversations, how's that?
- 1:00:31Brian McFadden: I think we're having good conversations, so…
- 1:00:33Testecleese: I think so, too, and this is a lot of material.
- 1:00:37Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, you were literally sharing articles, like, yesterday, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, I got, like, 50 alerts, like, in an hour of stuff.
- 1:00:47Testecleese: I know, but they were… All good points, though.
- 1:00:50Brian McFadden: I'm like, oh, I know what Jeffrey's doing right now.
- 1:00:54Testecleese: Yeah, oh, he's reading the news!
- 1:01:00Testecleese: But this… oh my god.
- 1:01:03Testecleese: this Carmelo Anthony thing. This college professor, blunt… is blaming Austin Metcalf's father.
- 1:01:12Testecleese: For his son's death.
- 1:01:15Testecleese: Because Black kids have boundaries.
- 1:01:20Testecleese: Which basically means is my… this kid was disrespected and thought it was okay to kill someone else, right?
- 1:01:30Testecleese: No?
- 1:01:31Brian McFadden: Yeah. That's not right, but yeah, okay.
- 1:01:35Brian McFadden: They…
- 1:01:37Testecleese: I mean, I have boundaries too, that doesn't mean I can stab someone through the heart, right?
- 1:01:41Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:01:43Testecleese: You know what I do?
- 1:01:45Brian McFadden: Walk away?
- 1:01:47Testecleese: Yeah, I get my shit and I leave now.
- 1:01:49Brian McFadden: Hell yeah, smartest thing you can possibly do.
- 1:01:53Testecleese: especially since I typically carry a gun these days, and I know if you don't avoid a conflict at every chance you get, you are wrong in any kind of…
- 1:02:04Testecleese: Conflict, if you have a gun on you.
- 1:02:06Testecleese: And… same thing applies to a kid with a fucking knife.
- 1:02:11Testecleese: He had a chance to walk away, and chose not to.
- 1:02:15Testecleese: He instigated a fight.
- 1:02:17Testecleese: Yeah. And stab someone for responding to it.
- 1:02:21Testecleese: You cannot claim self-defense if you started the fight.
- 1:02:25Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:02:25Testecleese: This… this is a thing we all know.
- 1:02:30Testecleese: But yeah, we're supposed to be… now we're supposed to believe, oh, just…
- 1:02:34Testecleese: leave the black kid alone, let him do whatever, it's like, I don't know this asshole. For all I know, he's here to steal our shit. Oh, because he's black? No, because I don't fucking know him!
- 1:02:45Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:02:46Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:02:47Testecleese: I mean, I… I spent a lot of time in Virginia, a lot of time in the Navy.
- 1:02:52Testecleese: Very ethnically diverse.
- 1:02:55Testecleese: I don't know a better way to put it than that.
- 1:02:58Testecleese: I had no issue with people because of their skin color, I had issues with people because they were fucking assholes.
- 1:03:04Brian McFadden: Right. Yep.
- 1:03:06Testecleese: And anyone who tried to start a fight with me over my skin color, I labeled as asshole.
- 1:03:12Testecleese: Not… Black, not Indian, not Arab, you know what I mean?
- 1:03:22Testecleese: It's just frustrating, dude.
- 1:03:28Testecleese: like, this… Why not just… Say, no, no, this guy was an asshole.
- 1:03:35Testecleese: And chalk it up as a fucking dickhead being a dickhead, because no one seems to give a shit when a black kid kills a black kid.
- 1:03:42Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:03:47Testecleese: But all of a sudden, a black kid killed a white kid, now he's automatically innocent.
- 1:03:52Testecleese: Nope, no he's not!
- 1:03:55Testecleese: He was some punk kid, and he is the…
- 1:03:58Testecleese: Here's where I'll give you some slack. If this is the argument they were gonna make.
- 1:04:02Testecleese: Was it was programmed into him.
- 1:04:06Testecleese: That he has been a disadvantage because of his skin color his whole life, and he was TOLD this, that no matter what he did, he was always gonna lose.
- 1:04:17Testecleese: And that's why he fought back. Then it'll be like, oh, okay, so I'm gonna blame the fucking media and the message put out.
- 1:04:24Testecleese: And the argument you're making now is exactly the opposite of it.
- 1:04:30Testecleese: You can't claim that he did…
- 1:04:36Testecleese: He stabbed a 17-year-old through the heart.
- 1:04:39Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:04:43Testecleese: Because, depending on who you ask, a double-handed shove, a one-handed shove, or… he was trying to shove him, but couldn't even manage to shove him before he was stabbed.
- 1:04:52Testecleese: It's right.
- 1:04:54Testecleese: It's not an excuse to end someone's life, you know what I mean?
- 1:04:58Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:05:03Testecleese: Dear God.
- 1:05:04Testecleese: I can't imagine what would be happening…
- 1:05:09Testecleese: In a lot of places, if that was the case.
- 1:05:11Testecleese: someone disrespects me and poisons me, and then I can kill them?
- 1:05:19Testecleese: Shit, my time in Chicago would have been very different. I say Chicago, Waukegan?
- 1:05:26Testecleese: What the fuck is Great Mistakes? I know we used to go to… Illinois.
- 1:05:30Brian McFadden: Oh my god.
- 1:05:31Testecleese: Illinois, we used to go to Waukegan, Illinois. It was where we used to go on the, the jam vans.
- 1:05:38Testecleese: Joe, you went to Florida, didn't you?
- 1:05:40Brian McFadden: I did, I went to Orlando.
- 1:05:41Testecleese: Yeah, it doesn't exist anymore.
- 1:05:43Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:05:44Testecleese: Yeah, my father did too.
- 1:05:47Testecleese: His time in the Navy was a joke, though.
- 1:05:54Testecleese: he signed up when Vietnam happened to not have to be in the army, right?
- 1:05:58Brian McFadden: Alright, smart.
- 1:05:59Testecleese: You know, and I get that, right?
- 1:06:04Testecleese: and he was an electrician's mate who, like, basically guarded nuclear missiles.
- 1:06:12Testecleese: And then as soon as the war ended, like, who wants to go home? The war's over. And he raised his hand, and they sent him home before his enlistment was over.
- 1:06:21Testecleese: Now, don't get me wrong, I ain't talking trash.
- 1:06:24Testecleese: Yeah. He still signed up and did it.
- 1:06:29Testecleese: And that's the thing is, he still did more than your average American.
- 1:06:34Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:06:36Brian McFadden: Yep, I was the first person in my family to join the military.
- 1:06:40Testecleese: Oh, I was one of many in a row.
- 1:06:42Brian McFadden: I'm glad I did.
- 1:06:44Testecleese: I would have liked to have retired, but medical issues became an issue, and then…
- 1:06:50Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:06:51Testecleese: Turns out the wife's medical issues were more severe than we had thought.
- 1:06:56Testecleese: And I should have struggled through as a welder with epilepsy.
- 1:07:01Testecleese: Well, let's be real, I was in E5,
- 1:07:04Testecleese: all I had to do was stop intentionally failing tests, because I… I liked being in E5. I actually got to do work.
- 1:07:11Brian McFadden: E5 was the best rate. It's like, you got a little bit of responsibility, but you don't have to do all the shit jobs at the same time. Yeah.
- 1:07:19Testecleese: Chief, trusts your word. You're in control of other people who do what you say.
- 1:07:26Testecleese: I get to pick the prime jobs.
- 1:07:28Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:07:29Testecleese: And then you spend a couple hours when everyone else is gone filing paperwork, right?
- 1:07:33Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:07:34Testecleese: I was one test from,
- 1:07:37Testecleese: Not doing the physical work anymore.
- 1:07:40Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:07:41Testecleese: And I was like, I just don't want to do this anymore. I was like, I liked the work.
- 1:07:45Testecleese: You know?
- 1:07:47Testecleese: When I found out when you…
- 1:07:49Testecleese: when I found out that Career Navy meant paperwork, I got pissed.
- 1:07:56Testecleese: You know?
- 1:07:59Testecleese: You know, I thought I was… I thought I could be…
- 1:08:02Testecleese: And technically speaking, if you're the chief of a repair division.
- 1:08:08Testecleese: You show up on the work site and say, I want to weld. You're gonna be welding, right?
- 1:08:12Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:08:15Testecleese: Why would you do that?
- 1:08:17Brian McFadden: Exactly, you've got too many other things to do.
- 1:08:20Testecleese: Yeah, you got too much other shit to do, and you gotta let your boys make their own name.
- 1:08:26Testecleese: I don't know, man, I did some fucking amazing welds for the United States Navy.
- 1:08:32Testecleese: I got, I got medals for them.
- 1:08:39Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:08:40Testecleese: Now I'm drinking beer in my basement.
- 1:08:43Brian McFadden: There you go, I'm drinking beer in my upstairs.
- 1:08:47Testecleese: Yeah… I keep thinking about doing an outside thing, but… sounds like too much work.
- 1:08:53Brian McFadden: Nowadays it does, we got too much shit we're using. We're not using a cell phone anymore, hard to record the show. We're on the same location.
- 1:09:03Testecleese: Well, I was thinking right next to my house, where my Wi-Fi would still reach, but…
- 1:09:06Brian McFadden: Yeah, I understand, but still, you'd have to lug your laptop out there, you know, we're…
- 1:09:12Brian McFadden: And everything, set it up, it'd be a pain.
- 1:09:16Testecleese: Stop.
- 1:09:17Testecleese: Anyway, as all this is going on, the, Black Lives Matter leader that everyone is super familiar with just bought another $1.2 million house.
- 1:09:31Testecleese: I believe it's 1.2, right?
- 1:09:35Testecleese: Yeah, 1.2.
- 1:09:37Testecleese: So, you know, your donations…
- 1:09:41Testecleese: Are going to good use, folks.
- 1:09:43Brian McFadden: Yeah, right.
- 1:09:49Brian McFadden: Oh, my word. What a… what a scam.
- 1:09:53Testecleese: Depending on where you are on the economic chain.
- 1:09:58Testecleese: Many may consider me, quote, wealthy.
- 1:10:01Brian McFadden: Yes, many would.
- 1:10:03Testecleese: Whereas many will say, this man has investments, he's getting by.
- 1:10:09Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:10:17Testecleese: Where the fuck… who… oh… not… What were we looking at?
- 1:10:23Testecleese: Oh, her house. Her house.
- 1:10:25Brian McFadden: Yeah, Black Lives Matter.
- 1:10:28Testecleese: I have a $150,000 house.
- 1:10:35Testecleese: I may be, quote, wealthy.
- 1:10:39Testecleese: But my… I do not live in a…
- 1:10:42Testecleese: What was it, $1.2 million house?
- 1:10:45Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:10:46Testecleese: That seems… Ludicrous to me.
- 1:10:49Testecleese: I can't imagine the house you could build for $1.2 million.
- 1:10:53Brian McFadden: Oh, my… it'd be a mansion. And if you did it in West Virginia, you'd be a… you'd have a whole mountain yourself. Michigan would be a huge place, too. Most definitely.
- 1:11:03Testecleese: We were actually talking about building our own house.
- 1:11:06Testecleese: And I actually said, I want secret passageways.
- 1:11:12Testecleese: And the wife's like, what? I was like, no, I want to pull on a fucking book, and, like, a bookshelf slide of.
- 1:11:17Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, if you're gonna do it, do it right.
- 1:11:19Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, I could sneak up to this side of the house, I want a secret room, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
- 1:11:25Testecleese: It still would have cost me less than a million dollars.
- 1:11:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:11:33Testecleese: Yeah. See, this is the thing, the people dedicated to charity and service always seem to be so wealthy, huh?
- 1:11:41Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:11:44Testecleese: Where do you think your donations are going?
- 1:11:46Testecleese: Here's the best part, is on her fucking website, where she's taking donations, it probably says right on it, she's taking 20%.
- 1:11:55Testecleese: Yeah. Well, 50, you know what I mean?
- 1:11:58Testecleese: But people don't bother looking at it.
- 1:12:01Testecleese: And instead of helping Carmelo Anthony in his defense.
- 1:12:06Brian McFadden: You're buying.
- 1:12:06Testecleese: This… you're buying this woman a house.
- 1:12:12Testecleese: Yay!
- 1:12:16Brian McFadden: Money well donated.
- 1:12:19Testecleese: Oh, speaking of money well donated, you… this SBLC shit, dude?
- 1:12:26Brian McFadden: They get money from donations.
- 1:12:29Testecleese: what's going on, dude? Apparently…
- 1:12:33Brian McFadden: I don't know why this organization still exists, because they're such a fraud organization, they should have been shut down a while back.
- 1:12:40Testecleese: First of all, Didn't way back in, like, the 60s, didn't they actually defend the Ku Klux Klan?
- 1:12:47Brian McFadden: Yes, I did!
- 1:12:48Testecleese: Their… their right to march?
- 1:12:51Testecleese: Because it was about rights at the time.
- 1:12:54Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:12:55Testecleese: Which is the name they've carried forward, but now it's about ending hate.
- 1:13:00Testecleese: But they're still carrying the American Rights moniker.
- 1:13:06Testecleese: As it turns out, the…
- 1:13:09Testecleese: well, we talked about this before, multiple times. They're funding the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis and keeping them alive when they would be dead by now, and… okay, oh, you're full of shit, it's not that bad.
- 1:13:21Testecleese: The fucking woman who's handing out the money for these people is sleeping with one of the neo-Nazis she's paying, and check this out, Brian, they share bank accounts! She put the money in her own account!
- 1:13:36Brian McFadden: We… didn't that happen in Georgia, too, and that's what got him in trouble?
- 1:13:41Testecleese: Could well be!
- 1:13:44Brian McFadden: She was taking co- she was commingling campaign funds.
- 1:13:49Testecleese: Well, okay, she was, yes, she was taking a piece of it for herself.
- 1:13:55Testecleese: This woman here just dumped it into her own bank account because she was… had a bank account shared with this fucking neo-Nazi leader that they hired to be a neo-Nazi.
- 1:14:09Testecleese: They were living together!
- 1:14:14Testecleese: Who's the hateful people here?
- 1:14:16Brian McFadden: Not the people that they're bragging about being hateful.
- 1:14:22Testecleese: I don't pay the Ku Klux Klan, do you?
- 1:14:25Brian McFadden: No? Hell no!
- 1:14:26Testecleese: Do you… do you pay the neo-Nazis to fucking march?
- 1:14:30Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:14:31Testecleese: No? Have you ever once bought the Klan a cross?
- 1:14:34Brian McFadden: Hell no.
- 1:14:35Testecleese: Drags and oil to burn.
- 1:14:36Brian McFadden: No, no, no.
- 1:14:38Testecleese: This woman has!
- 1:14:40Brian McFadden: Right, exactly. Her organization has.
- 1:14:45Testecleese: This woman did!
- 1:14:46Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 1:14:47Testecleese: Yes, her organization, but this woman did, because it was her fucking husband!
- 1:14:51Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 1:14:53Testecleese: odd husband, her…
- 1:14:54Brian McFadden: Romantic partner.
- 1:14:56Testecleese: Yes.
- 1:15:00Testecleese: What the fuck is going on, dude? And you point this out to people, and they try to explain it away, and it's like, dude, you're explaining away Nazism. You sound like the Republicans that you claim are real.
- 1:15:13Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:15:14Testecleese: But you can't find one.
- 1:15:18Testecleese: They say, oh, it's… I'm pretty sure this happened with JD Vance on The View, when Whoopi brought up, oh, you're erasing black monuments. And I was like, well, can you name one?
- 1:15:27Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:15:28Testecleese: And she couldn't, she goes, well, there's so many. He goes, well, it should be easy to name one.
- 1:15:34Testecleese: And she couldn't.
- 1:15:36Testecleese: Because it's not happening.
- 1:15:38Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:15:41Testecleese: Oh, they took the, the boss, the MLK out of the, Oval Office, fucking 7 years ago. Yes, they were fucking cleaning the Oval Office. You know, you know what? It's back.
- 1:15:52Testecleese: Yeah. It was back a month later.
- 1:15:58Testecleese: you just insist on finding hate. It infuriates me. It makes me almost want to hate.
- 1:16:08Testecleese: Well, it makes me ask, dude… Are you fucking retarded?
- 1:16:14Testecleese: Or are you a fucking liar?
- 1:16:16Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:16:22Testecleese: How long have you been doing this show, Brian? Fuck, almost.
- 1:16:24Brian McFadden: Ugh.
- 1:16:25Testecleese: 20 years?
- 1:16:27Brian McFadden: Close to it, yeah. Yep, I think I've known you that long.
- 1:16:31Testecleese: I spent plenty of time talking shit about the fucking Republicans on the show, haven't I?
- 1:16:36Brian McFadden: I'll just do that.
- 1:16:37Testecleese: History of the show.
- 1:16:38Brian McFadden: Yup, you have over the days, yep.
- 1:16:41Testecleese: But then Trump.
- 1:16:41Brian McFadden: I'm sure a die-hard libertarian for many, many years, you know? I remember how many times did that… the guy that smoked pot try to run it for president, you know?
- 1:16:52Testecleese: Oh, the guy who… Oh my god, what was his name?
- 1:16:56Brian McFadden: I don't remember.
- 1:16:57Testecleese: Yeah, he couldn't remember the name of… he didn't remember the name of a city in, like, Libya that was getting.
- 1:17:02Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:17:03Testecleese: Aleppo.
- 1:17:04Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:17:06Testecleese: What's Aleppo? Oh, that's the end of that.
- 1:17:11Testecleese: But… these left… Assholes have gone so far fucking left, dude. Yeah. You know?
- 1:17:20Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:17:21Testecleese: Meanwhile, some fucking douche nozzle socialist in Chicago
- 1:17:26Testecleese: Went out and tried to actually… I say try to. Actually, Lit a cross on fire!
- 1:17:35Brian McFadden: Insane.
- 1:17:38Testecleese: He tried to say it was… well, actually, if you want to set up share, there's a video in there of him doing an interview.
- 1:17:45Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 1:17:46Testecleese: He just sounds so stupid. He was clearly trying to set up a fucking fake hate crime.
- 1:17:52Testecleese: But got caught.
- 1:17:55Testecleese: And he was trying to justify what he did, but he was too fucking stupid.
- 1:18:00Testecleese: to be able to do it, you know what I mean?
- 1:18:05Testecleese: Yo, look at that.
- 1:18:06Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 1:18:07Brian McFadden: There you go.
- 1:18:09Testecleese: I was like, oh, I put a MAGA hat on it to make sure it was a MAGA point. He's like, dude, you lit it on fire, the MAGA hat was gone in seconds.
- 1:18:17Brian McFadden: That's the ad.
- 1:18:19Testecleese: Yeah, right? Don't you hate that shit? There it is.
- 1:18:21Brian McFadden: That's good.
- 1:18:22Testecleese: There's probably a commercial in there.
- 1:18:24Brian McFadden: Oh, well, just us, though.
- 1:18:29Brian McFadden: I guarantee it's YouTube.
- 1:18:30Audio shared by Brian McFadden: So…
- 1:18:31Brian McFadden: Yay! Two commercials, not one!
- 1:18:34Brian McFadden: Dude!
- 1:18:37Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Living Spaces, we offer your Boston TV console for just $7.50, because we take our design…
- 1:18:43Brian McFadden: In one second!
- 1:18:44Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Trump administration in.
- 1:18:46Testecleese: Get some bigot.
- 1:18:46Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Not something racist. How did you land on a burning cross?
- 1:18:50Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Just… It came up to my head one day.
- 1:18:53Testecleese: I'm not religious.
- 1:18:54Audio shared by Brian McFadden: to… I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like, no organization, no friends, no…
- 1:19:02Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I did know about this, this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know Whatever. Bullshit. The severity.
- 1:19:10Audio shared by Brian McFadden: How… how… racially motivated it may seem from what I did.
- 1:19:17Testecleese: And why did he do it?
- 1:19:18Audio shared by Brian McFadden: My protest has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with gender. Should you have done it some other way? Yeah.
- 1:19:24Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Probably. Merlin Lew is a 21-year-old Naperville native. That's him playing tennis at Niqua Valley High School, where he was graduated in 2022. Last week, Liu sent this scripted video to NBC, claiming responsibility for the cross burning, but saying he had no affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, apologizing to those who were offended. In the video, he also criticized President
- 1:19:48Audio shared by Brian McFadden: President Trump. I don't want to wait till his term ends.
- 1:19:51Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I don't wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. You're the cross burner!
- 1:19:56Audio shared by Brian McFadden: that video, are you serious?
- 1:19:57Testecleese: Or the guy you hate!
- 1:19:59Brian McFadden: Yeah!
- 1:20:00Audio shared by Brian McFadden: You say that you think… I think you should stand trial.
- 1:20:02Testecleese: Am I the only one who sees this shit?
- 1:20:04Audio shared by Brian McFadden: said.
- 1:20:04Brian McFadden: I think so.
- 1:20:06Audio shared by Brian McFadden: he deserves to stand trial to the American people, some paraphrase, I guess, but…
- 1:20:09Testecleese: Or why?
- 1:20:09Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Use the word end.
- 1:20:11Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That's what I mean by end. I mean, by end, I don't mean, like, A civil war.
- 1:20:17Audio shared by Brian McFadden: If, if that's the… If that.
- 1:20:20Testecleese: Civil War.
- 1:20:21Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Lou says he built this cross after carrying wooden slats from his near Westside apartment to Grant Park last Tuesday afternoon. He showed the red ball cap that he put.
- 1:20:32Brian McFadden: Where's a red ball goes.
- 1:20:33Audio shared by Brian McFadden: used lighter fluid and toilet paper to get it all red. I put a red hat to signify the MAGA hat, the Make America Great Again hat.
- 1:20:43Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That was… yeah, that's what I tied on top. But that's not visible in the one video that was taken by a motorist. Lou says he was protesting what he calls MAGA Christian nationalist supporters and the Trump administration ruling class. You're just scamming people. We're just scamming out of money, right? And I think that's…
- 1:21:00Testecleese: Money!
- 1:21:01Audio shared by Brian McFadden: It's a reflection of how this.
- 1:21:02Testecleese: Don't.
- 1:21:03Audio shared by Brian McFadden: works right now, where money controls everything.
- 1:21:06Testecleese: The biggest thing the Democrats ever did was convince the average American taxpayer they didn't get a tax cut.
- 1:21:11Audio shared by Brian McFadden: transportation. Chicago Police and the FBI have been trying to identify him ever since, putting out this flyer with pictures of.
- 1:21:17Brian McFadden: But MEC found him!
- 1:21:19Audio shared by Brian McFadden: CPD labeling it.
- 1:21:20Testecleese: You would have just ripped those.
- 1:21:21Audio shared by Brian McFadden: nobody's identified you to this point, and called them? A little bit. A little bit. But, to me, that's not that important. Right. I don't really…
- 1:21:31Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Like, to me, this issue is bigger than just myself. Did you make it all the way through all.
- 1:21:35Testecleese: Oh my god, he lit a cross on fire, and he's trying to say…
- 1:21:38Brian McFadden: Not a big project.
- 1:21:38Audio shared by Brian McFadden: news.
- 1:21:39Brian McFadden: Big deal.
- 1:21:39Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The burning cross is one of the most divisive symbols in America.
- 1:21:43Audio shared by Brian McFadden: No, I didn't… I don't really have any, like… I never grew up… With religion, never,
- 1:21:49Audio shared by Brian McFadden: really surround myself with people with it, my childhood friends.
- 1:21:52Testecleese: He's stupid.
- 1:21:53Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I remember them going to, like.
- 1:21:55Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Confirmation and stuff like that, but
- 1:21:58Audio shared by Brian McFadden: But it's a symbol of the Ku Klux Klan. I mean, that really is where it started. Nobody ever taught you that, you never read it in a history book, nobody…
- 1:22:07Testecleese: Bullshit, not Martin School.
- 1:22:08Audio shared by Brian McFadden: stage with the, the movie with the… like, I think it's called, like,
- 1:22:15Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Under One Nation, or something like that?
- 1:22:17Brian McFadden: Never…
- 1:22:18Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The Birth of a Nation is a famous 1915 silent film that romanticized.
- 1:22:23Brian McFadden: He saw this, but not knew his local queen about it.
- 1:22:27Audio shared by Brian McFadden: No, for sure not. In no way possible was that a hate crime. I do understand why it was interpreted that way, and I apologize for that, but no, the intent was not there.
- 1:22:39Brian McFadden: But if he hates Mega…
- 1:22:40Audio shared by Brian McFadden: police.
- 1:22:40Brian McFadden: And the Christians, that's hate.
- 1:22:42Audio shared by Brian McFadden: charges, maybe…
- 1:22:42Brian McFadden: Soy.
- 1:22:43Audio shared by Brian McFadden: against the man who admits the cross burning.
- 1:22:45Testecleese: You know as well as I, Asians are treated like white people in the criminal justice system.
- 1:22:49Audio shared by Brian McFadden: He says his parents are encouraging him to surrender, and that they offered to provide an attorney, but he said no. He told me he's thinking of turning himself in, something he won't have to worry about if police arrive first.
- 1:23:02Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Back to you.
- 1:23:07Testecleese: Was this guy paid by the SPLC?
- 1:23:11Brian McFadden: No. He might as well be.
- 1:23:14Testecleese: And he's so dumb!
- 1:23:16Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:23:19Brian McFadden: Chicago, so…
- 1:23:21Testecleese: He's like, oh, I… dude, you shouldn't have done this interview.
- 1:23:26Brian McFadden: Now the… how the FBI has an actual picture of you, and they're coming for your ass!
- 1:23:34Testecleese: What are you facial…
- 1:23:35Brian McFadden: No recognition to find you.
- 1:23:36Testecleese: just say his argument holds up in court. I didn't know better. Now you're allowing thousands.
- 1:23:42Brian McFadden: This is not an excuse to get out of the law.
- 1:23:45Testecleese: law.
- 1:23:46Testecleese: Correct, correct. Ignorance is not an excuse for the law. But, if it holds up in court, that sets a precedent for all these white people doing the same thing.
- 1:23:54Brian McFadden: It does.
- 1:23:58Testecleese: And, oh, you're an asshole. No, I'm talking about how the fucking law works.
- 1:24:03Testecleese: You know, trust, trust the science.
- 1:24:08Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 1:24:10Testecleese: Anyway, as is going on, Tim Wall's rating has fallen below Trump's.
- 1:24:18Testecleese: Well, I mean…
- 1:24:19Testecleese: he kind of got blown up this, fraud thing, which… I can't believe nothing's happened besides his approval rating dropping.
- 1:24:28Brian McFadden: Give it time, give it time.
- 1:24:32Testecleese: Maybe… more Gabbage left today, I think?
- 1:24:38Brian McFadden: Yeah, she dropped a bomb.
- 1:24:40Testecleese: Oh, yeah, about Fauci, right?
- 1:24:45Testecleese: Yeah, I think that's in Leftovers, which it should have been in… Intro, but… Check this out!
- 1:24:56Testecleese: Famous bass jumper. He did a famous show with Madonna in, like, 2012 or something, doing, like, a low-wire bouncing act thing.
- 1:25:05Testecleese: He's done… he was the guy who high-wired between two hot air balloons.
- 1:25:11Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 1:25:12Testecleese: Yeah, he did the famous high wire act, and france over Paris.
- 1:25:19Testecleese: He recently fell to his death.
- 1:25:23Testecleese: Doing a base jumping thing with, possibly a tandem jumper that is also dead.
- 1:25:30Brian McFadden: Well, he died doing what he wanted to do with life, so, I mean…
- 1:25:34Testecleese: Yeah…
- 1:25:36Brian McFadden: It sucks, but, yeah.
- 1:25:37Testecleese: But, the problem is, this guy was, always better than everyone else, according to everyone else who did it.
- 1:25:43Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:25:44Testecleese: So he's always pushing the line.
- 1:25:46Testecleese: And then… I guess he started doing tandem jumps with people to enjoy the rush of a base jump, and took a guy to their grave with him.
- 1:25:57Testecleese: I mean, it happens…
- 1:26:00Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:26:02Testecleese: It's unfortunate, you're jumping off a fucking… cliff, who knows what's gonna happen?
- 1:26:08Testecleese: Yeah, 2012, he was on Madonna, the Madonna at the Super Bowl.
- 1:26:14Testecleese: Jesus Christ, why is this guy's name… why do they bury the headline? Like…
- 1:26:21Testecleese: The guy's name is something Lewis, I guess. Andy Lewis.
- 1:26:27Testecleese: He owned a bass jumping company.
- 1:26:32Testecleese: I just… Gaia was apparently, like, the best in the world.
- 1:26:37Testecleese: Couldn't navigate the cliffs in, I think it was Utah or something like that?
- 1:26:45Testecleese: And,
- 1:26:47Testecleese: He died, and another man died. They believe it might have been a tandem jump. They can't tell yet, which makes me think that if it was a tandem jump, something horrible happened that you.
- 1:26:58Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:26:58Testecleese: It was a tandem jump, right?
- 1:27:00Brian McFadden: Yoke.
- 1:27:03Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:27:07Testecleese: You seen any of these videos?
- 1:27:10Testecleese: Of all these, Europeans coming to the United States for the World Cup.
- 1:27:15Testecleese: Talk about how great our country is?
- 1:27:17Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I've seen stories about that, yep.
- 1:27:22Brian McFadden: I mean, they've been fed a narrative in Europe, so they don't have a clue what's really… what real Americans are alike, you know, so…
- 1:27:30Testecleese: Yeah, they think they're gonna get shot going to the grocery store.
- 1:27:34Testecleese: And then people actually show up, and they're like, wow, this is fucking amazing. Then they find Walmart.
- 1:27:40Brian McFadden: Yeah, Europe doesn't have Walmart.
- 1:27:43Testecleese: Yeah, apparently Walmart's the big deal, they, like, what is this? I can buy literally anything I can want.
- 1:27:51Testecleese: And then they cut you…
- 1:27:52Testecleese: Yeah, then you can find out you can buy guns at the same store that you get your groceries at.
- 1:28:00Testecleese: I don't know, I just…
- 1:28:01Testecleese: I thoroughly enjoyed watching these Europeans, lose their mind over how great this country was. They… most of them were even saying, like, the people were really friendly, they're great, you know?
- 1:28:17Testecleese: Right.
- 1:28:18Testecleese: Is, apparently, they…
- 1:28:23Testecleese: Apparently, these foreigners love this country more than the Democrats do, because even the people that come.
- 1:28:28Brian McFadden: I think so.
- 1:28:29Testecleese: Even people cover you legally.
- 1:28:34Testecleese: are just having a good time and going back home, as the Democrats say there's something wrong here, and it's like, well, what's wrong?
- 1:28:40Testecleese: Now compare it to every fucking nation on the planet, you know?
- 1:28:50Brian McFadden: And we got a, the… the pathetic peace zone set up.
- 1:28:56Brian McFadden: In Seattle.
- 1:28:57Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, Seattle, what? What is it, with some orange cones and some fucking orange mesh tape?
- 1:29:03Brian McFadden: That was the location of the match today, between USA and Australia, and ron was too embarrassed to come on the show, because USA…
- 1:29:14Brian McFadden: Shut out, Australia, 2-0.
- 1:29:17Testecleese: Shoot him another message and talk shit about the soccer game.
- 1:29:20Brian McFadden: Oh, I did, I did. He's like, I've got a sleep apnea test tonight, I gotta do that, I can't do the show with you tonight, so…
- 1:29:29Brian McFadden: He said he's available next, he said he's free next weekend, so we'll get him on the show and hopefully remember to talk shit about soccer with him. He's like, we'll make it up in rugby. Oh, I'm sure you will, because America don't do nothing with rugby.
- 1:29:42Testecleese: We don't do much with soccer either, we barely touch soccer.
- 1:29:46Testecleese: And we…
- 1:29:47Brian McFadden: Probably more popular.
- 1:29:49Brian McFadden: It's not in our age group, but the kids are all into soccer now, the young kids are doing, you know, minor league soccer and stuff like that. It very well might become more popular than baseball at some point.
- 1:30:04Testecleese: Well, that's the thing, it's…
- 1:30:05Brian McFadden: It's gonna make years, but, I mean, it could.
- 1:30:08Testecleese: Problem, Brian, you're living in a Muslim state.
- 1:30:12Brian McFadden: Fuck you!
- 1:30:14Testecleese: shot.
- 1:30:16Brian McFadden: Muslim in parts of the state.
- 1:30:20Brian McFadden: Dearborn is Muslim. Other cities are Muslim. I am not… it's not a Muslim state, yeah.
- 1:30:29Testecleese: You need to teach your kids to play baseball.
- 1:30:32Brian McFadden: I don't have any kids.
- 1:30:34Testecleese: Okay, the kids.
- 1:30:43Testecleese: Yeah, apparently, these, tourists… Oh, loving this country.
- 1:30:50Brian McFadden: So much, they discovered a new condiment.
- 1:30:53Testecleese: Yeah, well, not only Discover Do Condiment, but the food portions are amazing at restaurants.
- 1:31:00Brian McFadden: Dude!
- 1:31:00Testecleese: They're friendly, they're nice.
- 1:31:01Brian McFadden: There's a reason why the restaurants ain't making any money, is because they're putting too much shit on the plate.
- 1:31:08Testecleese: Yeah, and… Apparently, the rest of the world found out, oh, found out about, ranch dressing.
- 1:31:20Brian McFadden: Americans dip it in everything.
- 1:31:22Testecleese: I don't like it myself.
- 1:31:25Brian McFadden: I do some things with it, like fried mushrooms, jalapeno poppers… But, you know…
- 1:31:32Brian McFadden: I'm not addicted to it like a lot of people are.
- 1:31:35Testecleese: Apparently, the rest of the world has discovered this since coming to the World Cup, and they're trying to smuggle it back to their home country.
- 1:31:43Brian McFadden: And TSA says, you gotta put it in your check bag, not your carry-on.
- 1:31:50Testecleese: But I want to eat it on the plane.
- 1:31:52Brian McFadden: You gotta put it in the little 1-ounce container, then!
- 1:31:57Testecleese: I just laughed my ass off. I was like, ranch dressing as well?
- 1:32:00Brian McFadden: I know, I know! It's so commonplace for us, you know, it's no big deal, but they were freak… they're freaking out about it.
- 1:32:09Testecleese: You see, the Scots took over Boston?
- 1:32:12Brian McFadden: Boston, yeah! Scott's country now.
- 1:32:17Brian McFadden: I saw an article, I don't know if it's in here, probably not, but they drank, they drank, Boston Tri.
- 1:32:25Testecleese: Oh, I doubt that.
- 1:32:28Testecleese: I doubt that.
- 1:32:30Brian McFadden: They're Scottish. I don't.
- 1:32:31Testecleese: Yeah, you know, I doubt it because… well, first of all, Boston is home for boozing, too.
- 1:32:37Testecleese: And that just means… granted, more people showing up drinking the same supply means it might go dry.
- 1:32:43Testecleese: But…
- 1:32:45Testecleese: That just means the bars ran out of kegs. That doesn't mean there wasn't more booze 20 miles away.
- 1:32:52Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:32:53Testecleese: They just got caught off guard by what these Scotsmen would drink.
- 1:32:59Brian McFadden: And, President Trump pulled off a huge feat, last Sunday on his 80th birthday celebration. He brought the UFC to the White House lawn for UFC Freedom 250.
- 1:33:11Testecleese: Yeah, solve one, right?
- 1:33:12Brian McFadden: 50 Celebration.
- 1:33:15Testecleese: I'm a little bothered that… I… it's funny, I'm surprised that Democrats didn't bring this up.
- 1:33:20Testecleese: I'm a little bawled that it happened on his birthday.
- 1:33:23Brian McFadden: I think it was planned that way.
- 1:33:26Testecleese: Yeah, I think it was supposed to be the United States, not his birth… the president's birthday, right?
- 1:33:32Brian McFadden: Yeah, but the 4th of July's too crazy in DC as it is, so they don't want to bring the UFC in there at the same time. I understand what they're thinking.
- 1:33:42Testecleese: Oh, no, I get it, they would try and do the month-long…
- 1:33:45Brian McFadden: That's why…
- 1:33:45Testecleese: Operation.
- 1:33:46Brian McFadden: I actually stood… stayed up and watched a couple of the UFC fights on that night. It got ring delayed for, like, a half hour, because they thought there was a squall of storms come through, so they held it off for, like, a half hour.
- 1:33:58Testecleese: Did you…
- 1:33:58Brian McFadden: They never showed up, but they did.
- 1:34:00Testecleese: the Democrats actually did rain dances, trying to bring upon rain, and…
- 1:34:06Brian McFadden: I see that.
- 1:34:06Testecleese: And then, if you look at it,
- 1:34:09Testecleese: From a satellite, the storm literally split and went around.
- 1:34:13Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:34:15Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:34:16Testecleese: So, if you're trying to call the god.
- 1:34:22Brian McFadden: They didn't listen to you.
- 1:34:23Testecleese: With your rain dance, he did the opposite.
- 1:34:27Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:34:29Testecleese: Like, it was gonna happen. The fact that you're a douche nozzle.
- 1:34:34Testecleese: You know?
- 1:34:35Testecleese: Like, no, no, why you gotta be a dick?
- 1:34:38Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:34:40Testecleese: Dude, we wanna watch a fucking fight, it's gonna be exciting. Oh, it's a combat sport. Who gives a fuck?
- 1:34:48Brian McFadden: I mean, this is the tame down UFC.
- 1:34:51Brian McFadden: You remember the original UFC, where there was no holes barred.
- 1:34:55Testecleese: It's not regular.
- 1:34:55Brian McFadden: It was… The hoist grape.
- 1:34:57Testecleese: Tracy, 50-pound Hoist Gracie fighting a 300-pound fucking muscle-bound dude?
- 1:35:06Testecleese: Here's the thing, though, is the original UFC was Hoist Gracie would beat that guy.
- 1:35:14Testecleese: Now these guys know how to throw a punch, so fucking landed.
- 1:35:18Testecleese: There's no way you're gonna grab ahold of him if you can't take that punch, you know what I mean?
- 1:35:23Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 1:35:25Testecleese: I don't know about you, Brian, you ever been punched in the face?
- 1:35:28Brian McFadden: No, I haven't.
- 1:35:29Testecleese: Okay.
- 1:35:30Brian McFadden: Sounds very pleasant.
- 1:35:31Testecleese: No, it sucks. Now imagine a trained fighter hitting you.
- 1:35:36Brian McFadden: No thanks.
- 1:35:41Testecleese: Oh, no bueno!
- 1:35:42Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:35:43Testecleese: Yes, ma'am!
- 1:35:46Testecleese: I mean, I've been punched in the face a couple times, and… It has… never ended well.
- 1:35:54Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:35:56Testecleese: But…
- 1:35:57Testecleese: even if it's… even a 140-pound woman punching in the face, it still fucking hurts. You know what I mean?
- 1:36:04Testecleese: Granted, it might just piss me off more than anything else.
- 1:36:09Testecleese: But it still hurts, you know? Now imagine a fucking 250-pound grown man
- 1:36:15Testecleese: Who's been training an entire life, throwing a white hook at your jaw.
- 1:36:20Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:36:22Testecleese: I can't imagine the dudes that take these punches.
- 1:36:25Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 1:36:26Testecleese: Oh, they're wearing 6-ounce gloves. Do you want… I understand what 6-ounce is.
- 1:36:30Brian McFadden: Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. That's still gonna hurt.
- 1:36:33Testecleese: That… yeah. That's a third of a pound, is how much his glove weighs.
- 1:36:42Testecleese: Dear God.
- 1:36:45Testecleese: Anyway, I'm gonna grab a beer.
- 1:36:48Testecleese: Alright. Only take me… only take me a second, but Dana White is apparently, he says…
- 1:36:54Brian McFadden: There's no more outdoor events for USC, you know, because of the weather drama, I mean…
- 1:36:59Brian McFadden: You're outside in summertime in the West Coast, you're gonna have to deal with weather, you know? Some days it's gonna be better than others, it's just… it is what it is.
- 1:37:11Testecleese: I don't know, I think his outdoor event went amazing.
- 1:37:14Brian McFadden: I think it did, too. I mean, it had a huge…
- 1:37:17Brian McFadden: I haven't seen the numbers on Paramount+, but, you know, I'm sure the numbers were pretty high. And then there were tons of people… they brought in all the military they could find.
- 1:37:26Brian McFadden: in the surrounding area, and put them in the seats, you know, so it was…
- 1:37:31Brian McFadden: It was a pretty fun event, you know? People loved it.
- 1:37:34Testecleese: I missed the fight myself. I wanted to watch it, but from what I understand, it was all knockouts?
- 1:37:41Brian McFadden: There were a lot of knockouts. The two fights I saw were…
- 1:37:44Brian McFadden: One went to the card, and the other one went knockout, yeah.
- 1:37:48Testecleese: Well, I heard they were all knockout.
- 1:37:52Testecleese: So apparently not, if one went to the card.
- 1:37:55Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they were good fights.
- 1:37:57Brian McFadden: They were definitely good fights.
- 1:37:59Testecleese: They're still on Paramount, right?
- 1:38:00Brian McFadden: Turn on Plus, yeah, free.
- 1:38:02Testecleese: I can still watch it.
- 1:38:03Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:38:05Testecleese: Yeah, I might check that out.
- 1:38:08Brian McFadden: Lynn, and they had,
- 1:38:10Brian McFadden: I can't… Jack Brown's band, or something, some country band did the national anthem.
- 1:38:17Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:38:18Brian McFadden: They did a fantastic job on it.
- 1:38:20Testecleese: Yeah, you know what's crazy about that is the dog.
- 1:38:23Brian McFadden: Zach Brown. Zach Brown.
- 1:38:24Testecleese: Yeah, Zach Brown, man, the daughter of some billionaire who hates Trump.
- 1:38:30Testecleese: Was part of the band and did it?
- 1:38:33Testecleese: Like, she was the vocalist, I guess?
- 1:38:35Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:38:37Testecleese: Like, there's a giant family crisis now.
- 1:38:40Brian McFadden: No, brother.
- 1:38:42Testecleese: I'm like, why?
- 1:38:42Brian McFadden: No credit.
- 1:38:44Brian McFadden: They got paid to do it, they didn't do it for free, I guarantee ya.
- 1:38:48Testecleese: If you did it for free, it was the 250th fucking birthday.
- 1:38:52Brian McFadden: The only thing I liked about that fight was, because a lot of the UFC matches I've been watching lately, Joe Rogan's not the main commentator, but I knew he would be at the White House, and sure as shit, he was there, and it was fantastic listening to Joe Rogan commentate again on the UFC.
- 1:39:11Testecleese: He talked a lot of shit, too.
- 1:39:13Brian McFadden: I… but he won't… I knew he wasn't gonna turn it down another chance to go to the White House.
- 1:39:22Testecleese: Yeah, meanwhile, some fucking, what, 23 people decide to try to attack the event, I guess?
- 1:39:29Brian McFadden: Oh, the drones, yeah.
- 1:39:31Testecleese: Yeah, they wanted to send in drones with explosives, then chase people out, and basically funnel them through a corridor, and then pick them off with sniper rifles.
- 1:39:41Brian McFadden: I think that happened at a concert festival in Las Vegas back in the day.
- 1:39:48Testecleese: I don't remember the drone strikes, but that might have been a part of it.
- 1:39:51Brian McFadden: Well, they were funneling the people through a certain area, and they were shooting them off in that area, so… They didn't have drones, but the funnel thing.
- 1:40:00Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:40:01Testecleese: Huh.
- 1:40:03Testecleese: One, a couple of these guys have been arrested now, but one of these 19-year-olds was arrested, and here's the problem with this 19-year-old piece of shit.
- 1:40:14Testecleese: Was, what, he was 10?
- 1:40:18Testecleese: When Trump came down the escalator?
- 1:40:21Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:40:22Brian McFadden: But he remembers it vividly?
- 1:40:25Testecleese: No, so he doesn't understand shit.
- 1:40:28Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:40:28Testecleese: The problem is, he's been told his entire life, Trump is Hitler.
- 1:40:32Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:40:32Testecleese: Republicans are Hitler.
- 1:40:34Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:40:34Testecleese: They must be killed, stopped by any means necessary.
- 1:40:38Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:40:39Testecleese: And they're like, oh, that's not what they mean. It's like, well, then why the fuck do people keep trying to kill people?
- 1:40:45Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:40:51Testecleese: And apparently these guys had an actual plan in place, which, by the way, was disrupted by the FBI.
- 1:40:56Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:40:57Testecleese: But this seems like a plan that I always talk about when I keep saying, like, terrorism isn't real.
- 1:41:03Testecleese: It's a bunch of bullshit. These guys had an actual plan.
- 1:41:07Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 1:41:07Testecleese: To actually cause damage.
- 1:41:09Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:41:12Testecleese: Well, it wasn't just a, oh, set up a bomb on the side of the road, or, you know what I mean? It was, do this, it's gonna create this. They were supposed to storm the White House at the end of this fucking raid, you know that, right?
- 1:41:27Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:41:28Brian McFadden: Good luck with that.
- 1:41:30Brian McFadden: There are snipers on the roof of the White House.
- 1:41:33Testecleese: This 19-year-old piece of shit, he wasn't, quote, involved, he just organized it. I say execute him.
- 1:41:42Brian McFadden: That'd be nice, but it won't happen.
- 1:41:44Testecleese: Why, he declared war against the United States.
- 1:41:48Brian McFadden: True.
- 1:41:49Brian McFadden: Still won't happen.
- 1:41:51Testecleese: Walt?
- 1:41:52Brian McFadden: We won't let it happen.
- 1:41:53Testecleese: I don't know, I think this new guy taking over DNI might change the opinions of the DOJ.
- 1:42:03Testecleese: was it Blanche, or whatever? I still can't remember his name.
- 1:42:06Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 1:42:08Testecleese: He was the home… he was the, housing guy.
- 1:42:12Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:42:15Testecleese: But he's the one who brought up the mortgage charges and everything else, you know?
- 1:42:23Testecleese: But yeah, anyway, like you were saying, Joe Rogan did the show, and he's just telling these critics to, like, shut the fuck up.
- 1:42:28Brian McFadden: If you don't like it, don't watch it.
- 1:42:31Testecleese: Yeah, dude.
- 1:42:31Brian McFadden: Star is a…
- 1:42:33Testecleese: Yeah, you don't tune in if you don't want to see it, instead of trying to…
- 1:42:37Testecleese: Shut it down, because you don't want to be part of it.
- 1:42:40Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:42:41Testecleese: Meanwhile, they created their alternate show.
- 1:42:44Brian McFadden: No one left.
- 1:42:46Testecleese: Well, I got a good giggle.
- 1:42:48Testecleese: And the first thing I thought was the alternate halftime show.
- 1:42:51Brian McFadden: Right, right? The puppy… the puppy show?
- 1:42:55Testecleese: No.
- 1:42:55Brian McFadden: Super Bowl.
- 1:42:56Testecleese: that, TPUSA did for the Super Bowl last time.
- 1:43:00Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, I watched that, I watched part of that, I watched that.
- 1:43:04Testecleese: That was…
- 1:43:04Brian McFadden: That was better than Bad… that was better than Bad Bunny.
- 1:43:07Testecleese: But yeah, that was so you could watch the game, watch an entertaining show, and then go back to the game. This was, we're gonna show up in the middle of nowhere.
- 1:43:16Testecleese: to say, don't watch Trump.
- 1:43:20Testecleese: And oh my god, Bette Midler, De Niro, fucking Jane Fonda was the host!
- 1:43:27Brian McFadden: Yeah, in New York City.
- 1:43:29Testecleese: Jane Fonda.
- 1:43:31Brian McFadden: How old is she now?
- 1:43:33Testecleese: Oh my god, she's gotta be close to 70?
- 1:43:36Brian McFadden: I think it's higher than that, let me look at a…
- 1:43:39Testecleese: But, Brian, you're VFW, right?
- 1:43:43Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:43:43Testecleese: You still piss on her face?
- 1:43:45Brian McFadden: At the VFW in Hampton, in certain urinals, her face is still there, yeah, definitely.
- 1:43:51Brian McFadden: screws up there.
- 1:43:52Testecleese: It's not in Michigan?
- 1:43:55Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:43:58Testecleese: Buy the stickers, dude.
- 1:44:00Brian McFadden: I put them in, yeah.
- 1:44:05Testecleese: But yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:05Brian McFadden: also.
- 1:44:06Testecleese: I hope people realize that Hanoi Jane, her face is in the urinals, in the VFW, nationwide.
- 1:44:14Testecleese: Because she hates this.
- 1:44:16Brian McFadden: 88 years old, she'll turn 89 in December.
- 1:44:20Testecleese: 88, oh my god.
- 1:44:22Brian McFadden: Yep, I knew she was that pretty old.
- 1:44:26Testecleese: Yeah, she's a decrepit monster.
- 1:44:31Testecleese: Well, she… let's be real then, she hasn't been significant since the 70s, right?
- 1:44:36Brian McFadden: No, she's had a couple of shows on Netflix, and that's about it.
- 1:44:40Testecleese: Can you name one?
- 1:44:44Brian McFadden: I watched it, I can't name it now off the top of my head.
- 1:44:48Brian McFadden: He played an old person on a show on Netflix.
- 1:44:52Testecleese: I'm more likely to recognize and marry Tyler Moore Then Jane Vonda.
- 1:44:57Brian McFadden: Okay, yeah.
- 1:44:58Testecleese: Just hope you know that.
- 1:45:01Testecleese: But, I gotta say, that beret's a dead giveaway.
- 1:45:10Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:45:12Brian McFadden: And then, you know, we only got one more week of this, and then it'll be over.
- 1:45:17Brian McFadden: Pride Month.
- 1:45:20Testecleese: Yeah, I know you tried to bring up Pride Month, and I was trying to avoid it.
- 1:45:25Testecleese: Because it seems like this whole Pride thing is over.
- 1:45:29Brian McFadden: So, because we had San Francisco Giant players.
- 1:45:32Brian McFadden: Writing on their Pride Nate hats they were supposed to wear with Bible verses.
- 1:45:38Testecleese: Yeah, well, what's funny is because I… last time we talked about this, I specifically brought up MLB,
- 1:45:45Testecleese: Who's still doing this.
- 1:45:47Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:45:48Testecleese: I was like, no, Major League Baseball, yeah, yeah, and…
- 1:45:53Testecleese: What, to, San… San Diego.
- 1:45:57Testecleese: I believe, right?
- 1:45:58Brian McFadden: San Francisco.
- 1:46:00Testecleese: San Francisco, so it wasn't the Padres.
- 1:46:02Brian McFadden: No, it was the Giants.
- 1:46:04Testecleese: John, okay, I thought it was the Padres.
- 1:46:06Testecleese: Two plays refused.
- 1:46:09Testecleese: to wear the Pride hat, As it was, because they made him with his rainbow shit.
- 1:46:15Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:46:16Testecleese: And these guys decide to put Bible verses as to where the rainbow came from upon their hats.
- 1:46:22Brian McFadden: Yeah, and people freaked out.
- 1:46:26Testecleese: Well… I think this is what you and I was saying a long time ago, Brian.
- 1:46:29Brian McFadden: Well, having a free speech.
- 1:46:31Testecleese: Well, I think, Christians need to take back the rainbow.
- 1:46:39Testecleese: And let's be 100% honest, Brian, it's not gonna be the Catholics.
- 1:46:43Testecleese: Right? Right. Every… historically, everyone looks at the Catholics to, like, do this shit, but let's be real… let's be 100% real, Catholicism has done nothing
- 1:46:54Testecleese: since, like, 1600s?
- 1:46:59Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:47:02Testecleese: Shit, it might have been 1400s.
- 1:47:07Testecleese: But… As I've mentioned before, the rainbow is up.
- 1:47:11Testecleese: a symbol of, Christianity.
- 1:47:14Brian McFadden: Yes, it is. We get rainbows here in Michigan all the time. Had a double rainbow this last week, as a matter of fact.
- 1:47:20Testecleese: Actually, you know what I found out was all rainbows are technically double rainbows, we just necessarily… can't always see them.
- 1:47:26Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 1:47:27Testecleese: what's even more cool is I found out that.
- 1:47:30Brian McFadden: There's a pot of gold at the end?
- 1:47:31Testecleese: Yeah, no. There's a… there's a place here in West Virginia that has a… Regular recurring moonbow.
- 1:47:40Brian McFadden: Moonbow, okay.
- 1:47:42Testecleese: Yeah, enough sun reflects off the moon back to the Earth at this waterfall to create a rainbow across the waterfall.
- 1:47:52Testecleese: you just have to make sure it's not, like, a cloudy night.
- 1:47:59Testecleese: And you can go check out this moonbow.
- 1:48:04Testecleese: Like, on any full moon?
- 1:48:07Testecleese: And I don't know, I just thought it was really cool, you know?
- 1:48:11Testecleese: I didn't realize that was a thing.
- 1:48:13Brian McFadden: Yeah, I never heard of it before.
- 1:48:16Testecleese: Apparently it's the only place in this hemisphere you can reliably find one is at this waterfall, but…
- 1:48:25Testecleese: Apparently, it's sitting at just, just the right angle.
- 1:48:28Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:48:32Brian McFadden: Nice.
- 1:48:33Testecleese: Anyway… Anyway… Major League Baseball, well, I think they fined these guys, like, $10,000 apiece?
- 1:48:42Brian McFadden: I thought it was just verbal.
- 1:48:44Testecleese: Oh, originally, originally.
- 1:48:47Testecleese: But then they find him 10 grand apiece, and some other dude…
- 1:48:51Testecleese: Pulled… reached into his pocket and paid the fine.
- 1:48:54Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 1:48:56Brian McFadden: Yeah, and I mean, there's a Republican senator that's demanding answers from LOB about the discrimination over warning the players. And then you got a state senator from San Francisco that's trying to take over what he wants to be Nancy Pelosi's replacement, who is gay.
- 1:49:14Brian McFadden: He says he's all pissed off that they were… that they defaced the LGBTQRPPARP ads.
- 1:49:24Testecleese: Wasn't it funny you said that.
- 1:49:27Brian McFadden: Somebody had to say it!
- 1:49:31Brian McFadden: We haven't said it in a while, so…
- 1:49:36Brian McFadden: And then there's Oklahoma Minor League.
- 1:49:38Testecleese: Hey, ARP!
- 1:49:39Brian McFadden: Yeah. And there's a whole minor league team that they refused to participate in their Pride jerseys, so they had to forfeit a game.
- 1:49:49Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 1:49:49Brian McFadden: Hallelujah, so people are still…
- 1:49:52Brian McFadden: Standing up for this crap. And, you know, it's not as popular as people think it is.
- 1:50:01Brian McFadden: But, Mayor Mondani, he's, he's sticking with it. He's announced $15 million for gender-affirming care in the city of New York, so…
- 1:50:11Brian McFadden: If… if you're…
- 1:50:12Testecleese: The baseball thing.
- 1:50:14Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:50:15Testecleese: That was out of York, Pennsylvania.
- 1:50:19Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:50:20Testecleese: Refused… enough employees refused to wear the rainbow jersey.
- 1:50:26Brian McFadden: I have no problem with that.
- 1:50:28Testecleese: Boy, here's the crazy thing.
- 1:50:31Testecleese: The manager of the team had to come out and say, if you don't wear the jerseys, we're not playing.
- 1:50:36Testecleese: Right. And enough players said, okay, then we're not playing, and they just didn't play.
- 1:50:42Brian McFadden: Nice.
- 1:50:43Testecleese: Well, what do you get paid for?
- 1:50:46Brian McFadden: Play,
- 1:50:47Testecleese: Playing baseball, right?
- 1:50:48Brian McFadden: Yeah, so…
- 1:50:49Testecleese: You know what that…
- 1:50:50Brian McFadden: like…
- 1:50:50Testecleese: And you're… you're a AA team? Like, you don't.
- 1:50:54Brian McFadden: You're not making a million dollars, so…
- 1:50:56Testecleese: Yeah, you're not even next in line.
- 1:50:58Testecleese: For the big leagues.
- 1:51:00Brian McFadden: So, you know, that's saying something about their commitment to it, you know, that they're willing to give up what little pay they do make for a game to do this, so…
- 1:51:08Testecleese: And most of these guys… most of these guys are carpenters and plumbers, let's be real.
- 1:51:14Testecleese: You know, you get some executives, you know, etc, etc.
- 1:51:19Testecleese: But, like, the people… Don't wanna do your bullshit.
- 1:51:26Testecleese: No, we've had enough.
- 1:51:27Brian McFadden: I just want to go to games and enjoy the game. I don't care… I don't want to go there on Pride Night. I don't want to go there on their weird…
- 1:51:35Brian McFadden: Weird hosting nights thing, you know?
- 1:51:39Testecleese: No, I know!
- 1:51:39Brian McFadden: I wanna go to the game, enjoy it. I'm looking for an escape from my life, you know?
- 1:51:44Testecleese: That's exactly what sports are supposed to be, is an escape from your life. You can get away for a minute.
- 1:51:50Testecleese: and not deal with all this shit, and watch a baseball game, and now you're being told that you're a fucking Nazi, because you don't think that RuPaul's a sexy bitch.
- 1:52:00Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:52:02Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:52:06Brian McFadden: You're racist if you think that.
- 1:52:09Testecleese: racist or sexist? I don't… who knows?
- 1:52:14Brian McFadden: I guess it depends on how you look at RuPaul.
- 1:52:18Testecleese: I… I try not to, honestly.
- 1:52:22Testecleese: No, no, for real, good for RuPaul. This man has done very well for himself, right?
- 1:52:28Brian McFadden: Yes, he has, yeah, yeah.
- 1:52:29Testecleese: very successful.
- 1:52:31Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 1:52:32Brian McFadden: He's all about the drag shows.
- 1:52:35Testecleese: Yeah, oh, the drag races, okay, you've seen it too.
- 1:52:41Testecleese: No, this dude's making money hand over fist!
- 1:52:44Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:52:47Testecleese: Good for him!
- 1:52:48Testecleese: Good for him!
- 1:52:51Testecleese: I just don't think this shit should be up for children.
- 1:52:53Brian McFadden: No. No, definitely not. And people bring their kids to baseball games.
- 1:53:00Testecleese: Exactly.
- 1:53:01Testecleese: And just like at the UFC thing, people were worried about, like, No, you can't have, like…
- 1:53:08Testecleese: displays on the White House lawn. Under Biden, he had that fucking trans dude flashing his tits.
- 1:53:16Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:53:17Testecleese: You know exactly what I'm talking about.
- 1:53:19Testecleese: Granted, I believe he got escorted off the property, After the fact?
- 1:53:25Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:53:26Testecleese: But it was the environment you created.
- 1:53:30Testecleese: We… we didn't even see natural-born women flashing their tits at UFC 250, did we?
- 1:53:37Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:53:38Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:53:39Testecleese: Yeah, you know what, that just tells me it's not fucking 1990 anymore.
- 1:53:43Testecleese: That was a thing.
- 1:53:45Testecleese: Before, like, 2000, wasn't it?
- 1:53:48Brian McFadden: Yup, exactly was.
- 1:53:50Testecleese: You remember flashing, don't ya?
- 1:53:52Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, you go to New Orleans, it happened all the time.
- 1:53:55Testecleese: Hey, go to a concert, get right up next to the stage, turn around. There's gonna be boobs.
- 1:54:04Testecleese: Oh, Jesus Christ, what a different world it was, huh?
- 1:54:08Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:54:09Testecleese: The crazy thing, it was in the same world for so long.
- 1:54:17Testecleese: And yeah, things might be changing, but…
- 1:54:20Testecleese: You can't change things too quick, or else you get fight back.
- 1:54:24Testecleese: And I think that's the issue we're getting with the Democrats, is they're trying to change things too quickly.
- 1:54:30Brian McFadden: Well, they're trying to change things that the average American doesn't want to have anything to do with.
- 1:54:36Testecleese: Give me an example.
- 1:54:37Brian McFadden: They're… they're in their little… their little sphere.
- 1:54:41Brian McFadden: And they think that because they're in their little sphere, everybody thinks the same way as they do.
- 1:54:46Brian McFadden: And they don't.
- 1:54:47Testecleese: Oh, they're echo chambers.
- 1:54:49Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:54:51Testecleese: Yeah, they don't understand that people disagree, and when people do, they must just be…
- 1:54:56Testecleese: Do they think they're evil or stupid? That's the question.
- 1:55:00Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:55:02Testecleese: Well, because from what I've seen throughout my life is that, your average Democrat thinks that your average Republican is evil.
- 1:55:10Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:55:11Testecleese: And your average Republican looks at your average Democrat and thinks that they're misinformed.
- 1:55:16Brian McFadden: Bro.
- 1:55:21Testecleese: How do you have a conversation with that? This sounds like religious ideology, doesn't it?
- 1:55:26Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:55:28Testecleese: You know as well as I, you cannot argue against religious ideology.
- 1:55:33Brian McFadden: No. I mean, the wars have broken out over that, around the world, multiple times, over the…
- 1:55:38Testecleese: Still occurring.
- 1:55:40Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:55:41Testecleese: Let's be real, Israel's been a contested land since before Israel existed, right?
- 1:55:46Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:55:51Testecleese: I don't know, Brian.
- 1:55:53Testecleese: How do we fix it?
- 1:55:58Testecleese: Yeah, it's funny, in a beautiful communist dream, it would fix it.
- 1:56:04Testecleese: We could just give everything, everyone, everything they needed.
- 1:56:10Testecleese: The problem is you don't have enough to give that much. Right.
- 1:56:14Brian McFadden: Ew.
- 1:56:16Testecleese: And a lot of these folks don't realize that.
- 1:56:18Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:56:19Testecleese: They think Elon Musk alone could solve this problem.
- 1:56:23Testecleese: But they don't realize that, like, there's 2 billion people in fucking India.
- 1:56:29Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:56:31Testecleese: Okay.
- 1:56:33Testecleese: We gave them all $100.
- 1:56:37Testecleese: Right?
- 1:56:38Testecleese: Vegas… Elon Musk's money.
- 1:56:43Testecleese: You know? That's… that's $100 to each Indian. Boom.
- 1:56:48Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, there you go, yep, everybody's rich.
- 1:56:52Testecleese: Yeah, $100? Dude, let's be real, how fast would $100 be gone if you just were… okay. If you just handed 100 bucks, boom, here you go, buddy.
- 1:57:02Testecleese: How fast will that one be gone?
- 1:57:04Brian McFadden: Fastener put it in my hand.
- 1:57:08Testecleese: You'd find something else to spend it on.
- 1:57:10Brian McFadden: Yep, exactly, quickly.
- 1:57:12Brian McFadden: You'd be afraid that they're coming back for their money again.
- 1:57:16Testecleese: I think we need to go back to our instincts and our natural abilities a little bit, and go back to…
- 1:57:23Testecleese: Making sure you're gonna survive.
- 1:57:26Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:57:28Testecleese: Well, I mean, let's be real, all these protesters screaming…
- 1:57:31Testecleese: If we weren't giving them money.
- 1:57:36Testecleese: And not you and me giving them money, but, like, people just handing them money to bitch!
- 1:57:43Testecleese: How quickly would they be dead?
- 1:57:47Brian McFadden: Pretty damn quick.
- 1:57:50Brian McFadden: I'm in the middle of a catfight right here, so…
- 1:57:54Testecleese: Yeah. Showed you my new kitty, I got, well, my… one of my new… two new kitties.
- 1:57:59Testecleese: Hey, when I mentioned Babu to you, did you… you recognized the name, didn't you?
- 1:58:04Brian McFadden: Yeah, he's an ape.
- 1:58:06Testecleese: What?
- 1:58:07Brian McFadden: Bamboo?
- 1:58:09Testecleese: Baboo was the, the ocelot from, Archer.
- 1:58:16Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I watched Arts for a little while, for a while, on FX.
- 1:58:22Testecleese: Archer was hilarious. Did you see the Baboo episodes with the cat?
- 1:58:26Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:58:28Testecleese: Alright, the… by the way, when I say cat.
- 1:58:32Testecleese: That's like calling a bobcat a cat.
- 1:58:34Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 1:58:36Testecleese: An ocelot is not a fucking house cat.
- 1:58:39Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:58:40Testecleese: Anyone who might be listening?
- 1:58:42Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:58:45Testecleese: Big, big kitty.
- 1:58:47Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:58:48Testecleese: Well, shit, they weigh, what, something like 50 pounds or something stupid?
- 1:58:53Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:58:53Testecleese: 45, 50 pounds?
- 1:58:56Testecleese: It's funny, because the wife was talking to me once, we were talking about getting a cat, and I was like, well, I want… I want a Maine Coon.
- 1:59:05Testecleese: And she's like, really? I said, yeah, I want, like, a 40-pound cap.
- 1:59:09Testecleese: He's like, what are you gonna do with it? I'm like, I will have a giant cat.
- 1:59:13Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:59:16Testecleese: And she's like, well, where's it gonna go? I was like, we have literally,
- 1:59:22Testecleese: 100,000 acres behind us that's uninhabited. Let them go out and do their… let them go out and do his thing.
- 1:59:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:59:33Testecleese: But then she's like, okay, okay, you tell me everything great about having a 40-pound cat. Tell me what could go wrong.
- 1:59:42Testecleese: And I was like, oh, Jesus Christ, what could go wrong with a 40-pound cat?
- 1:59:46Brian McFadden: Diabetes?
- 1:59:47Testecleese: No, no, I was like, I didn't even go that way, I was like, I could literally rip my throat out if it decided it didn't like me, you know what I mean? It would just pounce, and it's over, you know?
- 1:59:59Testecleese: People don't understand how ridiculously dangerous cats are.
- 2:00:04Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:00:06Testecleese: Now, okay.
- 2:00:07Testecleese: You've, you've owned the Cats before, right?
- 2:00:10Brian McFadden: Oh, for all my life.
- 2:00:11Testecleese: And you've seen them catch wild prey, right?
- 2:00:14Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:00:15Testecleese: And you watch him play with it and swat it around?
- 2:00:18Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
- 2:00:19Testecleese: Now imagine that's you.
- 2:00:24Testecleese: Everything here, but she has just a vibe, and he goes, smack, smack, smack!
- 2:00:27Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 2:00:32Testecleese: I was like, no, don't get me wrong, it's like a 40-pound cat hit me in the head with its paw, it's not like a fucking lion.
- 2:00:38Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:00:39Testecleese: But it'll rip my face apart, it'll cut me apart, before I have a chance to even realize it jumped, you know?
- 2:00:47Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:00:51Testecleese: I think she might have talked me out of it, but I still…
- 2:00:54Testecleese: I still want a big cat.
- 2:00:56Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:00:58Testecleese: Well, I mean, I got critters in the house, dude. I have something in my fucking attic, I don't know what the fuck it is, but it's definitely bigger than a chipmunk or a squirrel.
- 2:01:08Brian McFadden: Yeah, we've seen a mouse in the house here, and the cats definitely keep an eye on where the mouse came out in the kitchen, you know, so they're…
- 2:01:16Brian McFadden: We're on patrol.
- 2:01:17Testecleese: There you go.
- 2:01:19Testecleese: Yeah, there's something in my attic that, I think it's either a possum or a raccoon.
- 2:01:25Brian McFadden: That's a big animal in your attic.
- 2:01:27Testecleese: And I do not want to go up there and deal with it myself.
- 2:01:31Brian McFadden: You heard my baby possum story, right? Back in the day?
- 2:01:34Testecleese: Oh, maybe, I don't know, tell me, please.
- 2:01:36Brian McFadden: So, one night, Kathy came into the kitchen, and all the cats were, like, circled around the food bowl, just staring at it, and there were a possum… there was a baby possum in there eating the cat food.
- 2:01:52Testecleese: Oh, just hanging out in your house.
- 2:01:54Brian McFadden: Yeah! Yeah! And the cats are, like, just staring at us, like, you're bigger than we are, we're not gonna fuck with you.
- 2:02:00Testecleese: Yay!
- 2:02:01Brian McFadden: So…
- 2:02:01Testecleese: Who are you?
- 2:02:02Brian McFadden: So we put it in a cat carrier, trapped it in the cat carrier, and took it over to the dog park down the road and let it go, you know?
- 2:02:10Testecleese: died.
- 2:02:11Brian McFadden: I don't know, well, I mean, it was a pretty big baby possum. It wasn't, like, on the mother's milk or anything anymore, it was eating cat food.
- 2:02:20Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:02:22Brian McFadden: I'm sure he bought a trash can again.
- 2:02:23Testecleese: In your house.
- 2:02:24Brian McFadden: point.
- 2:02:25Testecleese: In your house.
- 2:02:26Brian McFadden: Yeah!
- 2:02:28Testecleese: What a terrifying animal that is.
- 2:02:30Brian McFadden: I know!
- 2:02:33Testecleese: No.
- 2:02:33Brian McFadden: With a full-grown possum at all!
- 2:02:37Testecleese: I know, it's a marsupial, first of all, right? It's the only marsupial in North America.
- 2:02:43Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:02:44Testecleese: Check this out.
- 2:02:46Testecleese: It's immune to rabies.
- 2:02:49Brian McFadden: Oh, okay, wow.
- 2:02:52Testecleese: I know, actually, here's what's awesome, we might actually get a vaccine for rabies, a proper vaccine.
- 2:02:58Testecleese: through… this animal.
- 2:03:01Brian McFadden: And… from Fauci?
- 2:03:03Testecleese: Well, Fauci's not there anymore.
- 2:03:07Testecleese: No, but the possum is, immune to rabies. Yeah. So, like, we might actually get, like, a proper vaccine for rabies.
- 2:03:14Testecleese: Through possum blood.
- 2:03:17Brian McFadden: Right, okay.
- 2:03:19Testecleese: It's wild, but it's a terrifying animal.
- 2:03:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:03:23Testecleese: Those… those pink eyes in the light and the dark.
- 2:03:28Testecleese: And the… the razor teeth?
- 2:03:30Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:03:33Brian McFadden: So if you lie about being gay in California, you go to jail?
- 2:03:38Testecleese: Well, California has offered an incentive tax package for anyone who's not a white dude.
- 2:03:46Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:03:46Testecleese: Okay. Not a white heterosexual.
- 2:03:49Brian McFadden: So, everybody's gay.
- 2:03:50Testecleese: Well… And that's the thing is…
- 2:03:54Testecleese: When they… they released all the different things, and none of them said, if you're a white man, you don't apply, but…
- 2:04:02Testecleese: they all pointed to that, you know what I mean? It's like, there's the only… white heterosexual male is the only thing not listed on any of these things as a minority.
- 2:04:14Testecleese: And what, what, white heterosexual men?
- 2:04:17Testecleese: Makes up something like, what, 15% of the population, maybe?
- 2:04:23Brian McFadden: Both higher.
- 2:04:25Testecleese: Huh?
- 2:04:26Brian McFadden: I bet it's higher than that.
- 2:04:27Testecleese: I don't know, male alone cuts it in half, by more than half. There are more women than men, right?
- 2:04:34Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:04:34Testecleese: Now, factor in every other ethnicity, now factor in sexuality.
- 2:04:40Brian McFadden: I'm just…
- 2:04:40Testecleese: You know what I mean? Yeah. I was just… I'm gonna say, I pulled that number out of my ass.
- 2:04:45Testecleese: You're right. Go ahead and… go ahead, ask your chat GM.
- 2:04:48Brian McFadden: I'm working on them.
- 2:04:49Testecleese: Let's find out what percentage of the United States is white, heterosexual male.
- 2:04:59Testecleese: I forgot where I was going with this, I just…
- 2:05:02Testecleese: Got a good laugh out of you, bringing up.
- 2:05:06Testecleese: oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The gay thing. California.
- 2:05:14Testecleese: They passed laws against basically being a white heterosexual male, so a lot of people are pretending to be gay.
- 2:05:21Brian McFadden: I would too if I got a tax break.
- 2:05:24Testecleese: Exactly. That's exactly what was happening.
- 2:05:27Testecleese: And now California wants to prove you're homosexual.
- 2:05:32Brian McFadden: So, let's see here.
- 2:05:34Testecleese: It's like asking to prove.
- 2:05:35Brian McFadden: U.S. population, 58 to 80, 60% of the lives as white only.
- 2:05:44Brian McFadden: 49% of those are male.
- 2:05:46Brian McFadden: And 85-90% are heterosexual.
- 2:05:51Testecleese: Yep.
- 2:05:52Brian McFadden: So… In a population of 340 million in the U.S, that'd be approximately 80 to a million.
- 2:06:00Brian McFadden: And they're saying between 24 and 27% are white heterosexual males. Thank you, ChetGPT.
- 2:06:08Testecleese: So, somewhere closer to 100 million Americans of white heterosexual males. I don't believe that. I believe it's lower end of that spectrum.
- 2:06:20Brian McFadden: But still, like, in the 24… it's like a quarter of the population.
- 2:06:25Testecleese: No, it can't be a quarter of the population.
- 2:06:28Brian McFadden: Why not?
- 2:06:30Testecleese: Because there's a black population, there's a female population.
- 2:06:38Testecleese: There's a huge Hispanic population. There's just no way these numbers are accurate.
- 2:06:44Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:06:47Testecleese: I don't know, or maybe this is the last census when we weren't allowed to find out a lot of this stuff yet.
- 2:06:55Brian McFadden: Well, in other exciting news, the Obama Center opened up this weekend.
- 2:07:00Testecleese: Yeah, you, you shared a bunch about this.
- 2:07:04Testecleese: Tell me all about it while I go take a piss and find my bag of weed.
- 2:07:09Brian McFadden: Yeah, they had a, the, Presidential… Obama Presidential Center, it's not even called the Presidential Library.
- 2:07:18Brian McFadden: Endowment is sitting on $1 million.
- 2:07:22Brian McFadden: Of its, 4.7 hundred million goal, and…
- 2:07:28Brian McFadden: The costs are going through the roof on it, but it's all built now.
- 2:07:32Brian McFadden: Not paid for yet, because there's reports that, many subcontractors claim that there's still millions of dollars that haven't been unpaid.
- 2:07:45Brian McFadden: So,
- 2:07:47Brian McFadden: scandal always starts with this place before it's even really open for business. And, they had a big, huge private concert where there was a bunch of people that lives there. One of the bushes that's not really a Republican was there.
- 2:08:03Brian McFadden: And, and they,
- 2:08:08Brian McFadden: they… the Dems did their normal thing, where they came out and acknowledged that the land wasn't theirs, and that it really was owned by Native Americans.
- 2:08:19Brian McFadden: So that, they… I talked about, Valerie Jarrett.
- 2:08:25Brian McFadden: She used to be the, senior advisor to Obama when he was president, and she's now the CEO of the Obama Foundation. Wow. Talk about…
- 2:08:35Brian McFadden: Making some money.
- 2:08:39Brian McFadden: But she honored the,
- 2:08:41Brian McFadden: Anashebel, Council of Three Fires, the Owabi, and the Odabi, and the Potawatomie Nations. We have Pottawatomie here in Michigan, too, since Chicago is right near us.
- 2:08:53Brian McFadden: And that it was exten- stolen land, but a lot of Republicans came out and said, well, if it's really stolen land, why are you acknowledging the Indians and not just giving the land back to the Native Americans, like you should?
- 2:09:08Brian McFadden: Well, that's not gonna happen.
- 2:09:12Testecleese: Wait, this Obama garbage?
- 2:09:15Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:09:15Brian McFadden: And then native Bell Ruggera and her acknowledgement of all the Indian tribes that own the land.
- 2:09:21Brian McFadden: That… that we stole it from. Well, if we stole it from, then they stole it from them, so if they really want to be sincere, they should give it back to the Native Americans.
- 2:09:33Testecleese: Didn't King George do that in Canada?
- 2:09:38Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 2:09:40Brian McFadden: I'm American, I don't know anything about Canada.
- 2:09:43Testecleese: Well, we talked about it on this show, when King George is…
- 2:09:46Testecleese: gave back a whole bunch of Native lands to the Native Americans. When I say Native Americans, I mean the American continents, not the United States of America.
- 2:09:59Testecleese: Oh, I forgot to grab you a new beer.
- 2:10:03Brian McFadden: Yeah, I haven't.
- 2:10:04Testecleese: Yeah, I know.
- 2:10:05Testecleese: They got my bag.
- 2:10:08Brian McFadden: Alright, priorities.
- 2:10:10Testecleese: I know, oh, well, shit, we're already down here?
- 2:10:14Brian McFadden: I'm working on it.
- 2:10:16Testecleese: Now, I know, you're doing good.
- 2:10:18Brian McFadden: We've been going for two and a half hours, so… I know, but this.
- 2:10:22Testecleese: This has been a good talk, hasn't it?
- 2:10:24Brian McFadden: Yeah?
- 2:10:26Testecleese: But you see this nutjob in Pendleton?
- 2:10:30Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I think I should.
- 2:10:31Testecleese: Go away.
- 2:10:32Brian McFadden: ago.
- 2:10:32Testecleese: I'm gonna go grab a beer, but I'm gonna ask you, before we start…
- 2:10:37Testecleese: How did this man not get shot?
- 2:10:39Brian McFadden: I don't know!
- 2:10:40Testecleese: Before this happened.
- 2:10:42Brian McFadden: I don't know! I mean, if you're avoiding a gun, a car chase, and you flee onto a military base.
- 2:10:51Brian McFadden: You should definitely then shot as you try to come through the gate, no questions asked.
- 2:10:58Brian McFadden: But…
- 2:10:59Testecleese: Well, here's the thing, is a lot of people don't realize, they think, like, the, the, the…
- 2:11:04Testecleese: military base starts at, like, the gate. It's actually, like, a mile outside of that, just so people… it's not even, like, 50 feet or 100 feet, it's, like, a mile. So, just so shit go wrong, it's still on federal…
- 2:11:19Brian McFadden: I'll be a notch.
- 2:11:20Testecleese: Virginia.
- 2:11:21Brian McFadden: He crashed through the gate on the base, and then he had been in his vehicle in military housing with 110 pounds of cocaine and fentanyl in the car.
- 2:11:31Brian McFadden: And he tried to… Camp Pendleton's a huge base, and there's a lot of rural area in this base. Yes.
- 2:11:38Testecleese: You could disappear for a while.
- 2:11:40Brian McFadden: You could, you could, for a while.
- 2:11:42Testecleese: You'll get caught, but you could disappear for a while. And here's the thing, is I brought this up to the wife, and I even said, how did he not get shot right away?
- 2:11:51Brian McFadden: You could have came through a gate that wasn't actually open and wasn't manned.
- 2:11:55Testecleese: Well, she brought up the, the concrete barriers they can shoot up.
- 2:12:00Testecleese: Yeah. You know what I'm talking about?
- 2:12:01Brian McFadden: Yeah, I know.
- 2:12:02Testecleese: They must, they must have done that. I was like, well, he got through.
- 2:12:05Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:12:06Testecleese: Like, why didn't they shoot him?
- 2:12:08Testecleese: And then she's like, honestly, I don't know.
- 2:12:11Brian McFadden: That's why I'm thinking…
- 2:12:12Testecleese: You know, you'.
- 2:12:12Brian McFadden: Good on me, I think that's.
- 2:12:14Testecleese: If you're invading the United States military space, you get shot on site for that.
- 2:12:19Brian McFadden: That's why I think he came through an unmanned gate.
- 2:12:22Testecleese: But don't they usually put up the concrete barriers if they're… if it's unmanned?
- 2:12:28Brian McFadden: Most of the time, if those things are exempt.
- 2:12:30Testecleese: Just so this shit can't happen?
- 2:12:33Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:12:34Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:12:35Testecleese: Especially Camp Pendleton, near residential housing? You're telling me I could just fucking smash through the gate and start off a bomb in the housing on base?
- 2:12:45Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:12:46Testecleese: This is upsetting to me.
- 2:12:49Brian McFadden: Ugh.
- 2:12:51Brian McFadden: Understandable.
- 2:12:53Testecleese: Well… Secretary of War, Hegg Seth.
- 2:12:59Testecleese: Please do something about this. This is absolutely unacceptable.
- 2:13:04Brian McFadden: It is.
- 2:13:05Testecleese: I can't believe… I can't believe the man got on base, honestly. Right.
- 2:13:10Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:13:11Testecleese: No, like, for real, as soon as…
- 2:13:14Testecleese: He's wrecked his car trying to get on base, or once he got on base, and then fled on foot, he should have been shot.
- 2:13:22Brian McFadden: Yeah, no arrests, shoot on sight.
- 2:13:25Testecleese: Yeah, and you could say, oh, that's not right. This is a United States military,
- 2:13:30Testecleese: site, you have no idea what.
- 2:13:33Brian McFadden: Marine Corps base.
- 2:13:35Testecleese: Yeah, yes. You have no idea what he's here for or what he's doing. You do not fuck around with the United States military.
- 2:13:42Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:13:44Testecleese: And…
- 2:13:45Testecleese: I'm gonna give my respects to the Marines, they absolutely deserve it, but I will say, once again, they are Navy.
- 2:13:52Brian McFadden: Department of the Navy.
- 2:13:53Testecleese: Yes, and the Navy doesn't like when you fuck with their shit.
- 2:13:57Brian McFadden: No, neither do the Marines.
- 2:14:00Testecleese: Well, that's because they're Navy!
- 2:14:02Testecleese: Let's be real, most, marine camps are on Navy bases.
- 2:14:08Testecleese: And I'm not sure that's something everyone realizes, every… everything…
- 2:14:17Testecleese: is typically called a military base, but only Navy has bases.
- 2:14:24Testecleese: the, the army has forts, the Marines have camps.
- 2:14:30Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:14:30Testecleese: the… what does the Air Force has? Oh, no.
- 2:14:33Brian McFadden: Therefore, it's heavy.
- 2:14:34Testecleese: The Air Force has bases, I'm sorry, the Navy has stations, right?
- 2:14:38Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:14:39Brian McFadden: We have vases, too, but…
- 2:14:41Testecleese: Yeah, but they're not bases, they're stations. Like Naval Station Norfolk, right?
- 2:14:46Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:14:48Testecleese: Yeah, and…
- 2:14:51Testecleese: And that's the thing that people don't realize, like, when you are not here, camp, whatever, we automatically know.
- 2:14:56Brian McFadden: No, it's Marine, yep, huh? Yep.
- 2:14:58Testecleese: Automatic, boom! What happened on a fucking marine camp, you know?
- 2:15:02Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:15:05Testecleese: Dude, did you see the fucking wreckage of the…
- 2:15:08Brian McFadden: It did, it was insane. And then… and then there's another article came out that one of the people on the plane said days earlier there was something wrong with it.
- 2:15:17Brian McFadden: you know, one of the contractors that was doing it, because this is, like, a hybrid B-52 that they were upgrading the radar on and stuff, so it was a.
- 2:15:27Testecleese: That's possible.
- 2:15:27Brian McFadden: It's test flight.
- 2:15:29Testecleese: Oh, that's why all these weird people were on it?
- 2:15:31Brian McFadden: You know?
- 2:15:31Testecleese: I looked at the list of people that died, because there were 8 dead, and I was like, what were these guys doing here? And the wife said the same thing.
- 2:15:38Brian McFadden: Therefore.
- 2:15:39Testecleese: I even said, I was like, Let's be real.
- 2:15:42Testecleese: The United States military is not advertising what they're doing to learn shit.
- 2:15:47Brian McFadden: No, they were… they were putting new radar on it. They were testing it out through radar.
- 2:15:52Testecleese: The problem is, Brian, Was when was the last time the United States militi… The United States…
- 2:15:58Testecleese: stamped out a B-52.
- 2:16:03Brian McFadden: Let me ask, let me look into it.
- 2:16:06Testecleese: Yeah, ex- exactly, Brian.
- 2:16:09Testecleese: What, 50 years?
- 2:16:11Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 2:16:13Testecleese: That just means we're down… because we're still using B52!
- 2:16:18Brian McFadden: That's who we are.
- 2:16:19Testecleese: It's still the what-the-fuck bomber, isn't it?
- 2:16:21Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, B2 or B.
- 2:16:23Testecleese: Isn't that what we… isn't that what we did with Iran the first time, when we took out the nuclear style? It was a B-52?
- 2:16:29Brian McFadden: Are you ready for this? It was before my time! I wasn't even alive yet, it was October of 1962.
- 2:16:42Testecleese: 62, okay.
- 2:16:43Brian McFadden: Yo!
- 2:16:44Testecleese: So, we just lost the B-52, and we're still using them. Do we need to make more?
- 2:16:51Brian McFadden: As of right now, the B-52s are 63 to 65 years old. I don't think so. I think they're expecting to keep… the Air Force wants to keep the fleet in active service.
- 2:17:02Brian McFadden: Into the 2050s.
- 2:17:05Brian McFadden: Meaning…
- 2:17:05Testecleese: But just be… Which means…
- 2:17:07Brian McFadden: He'd be 100 years old!
- 2:17:09Testecleese: Yeah, but that… but that also means maintenance, and you replace pieces before it needs to be… you can make that happen, don't get me wrong, but why not build a new one?
- 2:17:20Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:17:22Testecleese: And if you're gonna build a new one, let's design a new one. Right.
- 2:17:26Brian McFadden: I think that was… wasn't the B1 supposed to replace the B-52s?
- 2:17:31Testecleese: Yeah, but that was a joke.
- 2:17:33Testecleese: The B-1 could drop one bomb.
- 2:17:35Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 2:17:36Testecleese: The B-52 could take out two cities.
- 2:17:40Testecleese: I'm pretty sure… wasn't it the B52 that carried the.
- 2:17:44Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 2:17:45Testecleese: big Boy, or whatever it was?
- 2:17:47Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:17:50Brian McFadden: So, the, air Force One.
- 2:17:53Testecleese: There we go, there we go! There we go, there we go, Brian. We're going back to World War II.
- 2:17:59Testecleese: weaponry that we still want to keep in use in the United States.
- 2:18:04Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:18:06Testecleese: But yeah, but the wreckage, oh my god, dude, the explosion…
- 2:18:11Testecleese: And everyone who died, there's no way anyone survived that.
- 2:18:15Testecleese: On board that burned so hot.
- 2:18:18Brian McFadden: Fuel.
- 2:18:20Testecleese: Dude, it turned everything to ash.
- 2:18:23Brian McFadden: it'll…
- 2:18:23Testecleese: minutes.
- 2:18:24Testecleese: It was a.
- 2:18:25Brian McFadden: Fully fueled plane, fully fueled jet that took off.
- 2:18:28Testecleese: Jet fuel won't do that.
- 2:18:33Testecleese: It was, the wreckage is insane, and we, like I said, we lost B-52,
- 2:18:43Testecleese: You saw the video of the firefighting crew showing up and everything?
- 2:18:48Brian McFadden: It's a Class Delta Fire.
- 2:18:51Testecleese: Yeah, how do you put that out?
- 2:18:53Brian McFadden: You know?
- 2:18:54Testecleese: You know what I mean? Well, you need to know what is on fire.
- 2:18:58Brian McFadden: You let it burn out.
- 2:19:00Testecleese: Typically, exactly. You get the fuck out of the way and you let it burn. No, you CAN put it out, but I was like, why? Right?
- 2:19:10Brian McFadden: And Air Force One has been retired now. The, 747-200B.
- 2:19:16Brian McFadden: It entered service in 1990, since 1990.
- 2:19:20Testecleese: There you go, Bush did use it then, didn't he?
- 2:19:23Brian McFadden: They've been trying to come up… Boeing's trying to come up with a new Air Force One for, like, 20 years now.
- 2:19:29Brian McFadden: And, Trump's really pushed the issue, and what Trump did when his first term in office was, is he put it into the contract that Boeing couldn't charge the U.S. government for any cost overruns.
- 2:19:43Testecleese: Yeah, he actually specifically said this about Air Force One, and was like, what the fuck you bringing that up for? He's like, well, he realized it was time for a new one.
- 2:19:51Brian McFadden: Yeah, and he knew that typical government contracts, you know, the contract…
- 2:19:57Testecleese: You can charge them $100 million.
- 2:19:59Brian McFadden: to charge for extra money because they didn't get it right the first time.
- 2:20:03Brian McFadden: Tried extra millions of dollars extra, what Bush, or not Bush, but Trump put it in the contract, like, no, that's on you guys. You got the contract, you figure it out, you know?
- 2:20:14Testecleese: Exactly, you charged me $100 million.
- 2:20:17Brian McFadden: And the Air Force one?
- 2:20:18Testecleese: Then you bill me a billion, that's not okay.
- 2:20:21Brian McFadden: And this plane has been under design for… since Trump was last president, even before he was last president, and so everybody's freaking out now.
- 2:20:29Testecleese: term.
- 2:20:30Brian McFadden: Because the Saudis donated.
- 2:20:32Testecleese: I was just saying, is it…
- 2:20:33Brian McFadden: Another play.
- 2:20:34Testecleese: Was it the… it was Qatar, I thought.
- 2:20:36Brian McFadden: Okay, Qatar. One of the Middle East countries that is, like, an upgraded version of what they were already using for Air Force One. I agree.
- 2:20:46Testecleese: We can't use that.
- 2:20:47Brian McFadden: Trump… Trump made the Air Force retrofit that with all the secret things that Air Force One has into it, so that it could be used as a temporary Air Force One until the new version of the Boeing planes come out.
- 2:21:04Testecleese: No, I understand the argument, but I don't think that's acceptable, because as much as we may think we trust Qatar.
- 2:21:11Brian McFadden: I think that plane was gutted.
- 2:21:14Testecleese: I don't give a shit. Yeah, okay, it was good. They found 19 bugs. What if there were 27?
- 2:21:23Testecleese: You know, I'm just… You're assuming that we have better tech than everyone else.
- 2:21:30Testecleese: And typically we do, but we can't always find… their attack.
- 2:21:36Testecleese: And I… not saying we can't trust Qatar.
- 2:21:41Testecleese: Because, let's be real, Qatar needs us to survive where they are.
- 2:21:46Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:21:46Testecleese: But… But… We… we just cannot accept stuff like this from the foreign… from foreign nations. That…
- 2:21:56Testecleese: Is a place where national security things will happen.
- 2:22:02Testecleese: Now, if it was a… an orchard of cherry blossoms, I'd be okay with that, like Japan did, you know?
- 2:22:11Testecleese: But Air Force One, you're asking for a place where executive decisions are made? You're… no, you had…
- 2:22:17Brian McFadden: A lot of people are saying.
- 2:22:19Brian McFadden: You know, Air Force One never flies alone. There's always a decoy plane going with it.
- 2:22:24Testecleese: Correct.
- 2:22:24Brian McFadden: Where…
- 2:22:25Testecleese: And the vice president's in another one, too.
- 2:22:27Brian McFadden: Well, where is the decoy… what's the decoy plane gonna look like? Because there's only one of these planes that Qatar donated to us.
- 2:22:34Testecleese: That's actually a fair argument, but not necessarily, because the president could be on either one of them.
- 2:22:41Testecleese: Right?
- 2:22:42Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:22:43Testecleese: Just put the president on the other plane at that point.
- 2:22:48Testecleese: But, okay, so Boeing doesn't want to step up. There are other.
- 2:22:52Brian McFadden: They're way behind the power curve. This plane was supposed to be delivered years ago, and Boeing's screwing it all up.
- 2:22:59Testecleese: Ain't.
- 2:23:00Testecleese: And that's wonderful.
- 2:23:01Brian McFadden: reason why Trump put the thing in the contract, like, you can work on it for the next 20 years, but you're not paying us for these 20 years that you're working on it.
- 2:23:10Testecleese: Correct. Yeah, yeah. You could figure it out, but I'm not gonna pay you to figure it out, because someone else already has, right? Right. But for real, why not contact Elon Musk?
- 2:23:21Testecleese: Oh, I hate Elon Musk. But he seems to get shit done.
- 2:23:26Brian McFadden: It does.
- 2:23:29Testecleese: call up Elon Musk, say, hey, SpaceX,
- 2:23:34Testecleese: Make me a mobile command center that's airborne.
- 2:23:38Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:23:40Testecleese: And let's see what's… let's see what, spaceX can do.
- 2:23:44Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:23:48Testecleese: I don't know, man.
- 2:23:50Testecleese: Talk all this shit you want about this guy.
- 2:23:52Testecleese: He's a fucking moron, he's an idiot, but he keeps failing out.
- 2:23:55Brian McFadden: He's the world, he's the U.S. first trillionaire.
- 2:23:58Testecleese: Yeah, he's failing upwards to be the fucking richest man in the world, the first trillionaire on the planet.
- 2:24:06Testecleese: But he's a fucking moron, right?
- 2:24:09Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:24:10Brian McFadden: That's all they said.
- 2:24:11Testecleese: If his shit's this predictable, why didn't you do it first?
- 2:24:17Testecleese: And I love these arguments they come up with, like, oh, I didn't have $4 million to start with. No, did you have $400?
- 2:24:26Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:24:26Testecleese: Maybe you… maybe you would have fewer commas, but you would still be a fucking millionaire if this man's a trillionaire, right?
- 2:24:35Brian McFadden: Yeah, they were saying that some of the people that worked in the cafeteria
- 2:24:39Brian McFadden: For SpaceX, you know, they got, you know, automatic stocks. They're millionaires now.
- 2:24:44Testecleese: Yeah, I heard stories about, welders, and maybe it's because that's what I read.
- 2:24:50Brian McFadden: Right, yeah.
- 2:24:51Testecleese: Whatever. But guys who welded for the company, who got
- 2:24:56Testecleese: stock shares before it became a public company, and they're like, what the fuck am I gonna do with stock share, right?
- 2:25:03Brian McFadden: Now you're gonna do something with it.
- 2:25:05Testecleese: Now, no, these dudes went from make… they were doing,
- 2:25:10Testecleese: 80 grand a year, which is not terrible in the area, right?
- 2:25:14Brian McFadden: duh.
- 2:25:15Testecleese: Not awesome, but not terrible.
- 2:25:17Testecleese: To be all of a sudden being worth, like, $5 million.
- 2:25:22Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, they're not in California anymore, they're in Texas, so…
- 2:25:25Testecleese: Okay.
- 2:25:27Brian McFadden: $80,000 in Texas, pros.
- 2:25:29Testecleese: Yeah, and how much money did California just lose out on?
- 2:25:34Brian McFadden: They don't care?
- 2:25:35Testecleese: I chasing them out of California.
- 2:25:38Brian McFadden: Mental care.
- 2:25:39Testecleese: No, but let's be real. All of a sudden, all these guys became millionaires, right?
- 2:25:45Testecleese: And let's be real, a whole bunch of them are probably fucking morons, right?
- 2:25:48Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:25:50Testecleese: They're gonna go blow their money.
- 2:25:52Brian McFadden: Dope.
- 2:25:53Testecleese: Which means it turns into taxes.
- 2:25:55Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:25:57Testecleese: California could have… California could have scooped it up.
- 2:26:00Brian McFadden: Yep, but they didn't.
- 2:26:02Testecleese: Instead, they chased him out, and chased out the money.
- 2:26:05Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 2:26:07Testecleese: Excellent.
- 2:26:07Brian McFadden: Liberals do.
- 2:26:09Testecleese: I just… Again, Brian, are these people…
- 2:26:17Brian McFadden: I don't understand where their bread's buttered.
- 2:26:22Testecleese: That one again?
- 2:26:23Brian McFadden: Where the bread's buttered.
- 2:26:26Testecleese: Cold Yeah, they don't know where their border comes from.
- 2:26:33Testecleese: Well, the same idea.
- 2:26:37Testecleese: No one wants to know how the sausage is made, right?
- 2:26:41Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:26:42Testecleese: They're all eating the sausage.
- 2:26:45Testecleese: But there's…
- 2:26:46Brian McFadden: No one that goes into it.
- 2:26:48Testecleese: But yeah, they have no idea the work that's going in, and…
- 2:26:52Testecleese: do what I'm telling you, this AI movement?
- 2:26:57Testecleese: I'm telling you, it's already advanced beyond what you and I see.
- 2:27:02Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 2:27:03Testecleese: I know it's way beyond. I've seen it with music already.
- 2:27:08Testecleese: And apparently it's having issues with doing taxes.
- 2:27:12Testecleese: And I'm like, no, no, bullshit. If this thing figured out music?
- 2:27:17Testecleese: It's not having an issue, fucking, no, carrying the one. You know what I mean?
- 2:27:22Brian McFadden: out hands, because if you ask for an…
- 2:27:24Testecleese: They've already figured that out, they've already figured it out.
- 2:27:27Testecleese: It's, it's been a while.
- 2:27:30Testecleese: I'm telling you, white-collar jobs are gonna disappear in the next 5 years.
- 2:27:35Testecleese: Maybe up to 10 years.
- 2:27:38Testecleese: There's gonna be no need for managers.
- 2:27:41Brian McFadden: 10 years from now, I'll be on Social Security.
- 2:27:45Testecleese: No, well, I'm not.
- 2:27:47Brian McFadden: You're not working now!
- 2:27:50Testecleese: Yeah, well, technically the wife is, but… and she… the thing is, she's doing a white-collar job, and this is actually right on the top of the list.
- 2:27:58Testecleese: She's a data analyst, right?
- 2:28:02Testecleese: She's gonna get replaced by an AI.
- 2:28:07Brian McFadden: Those of you have a clearance, still?
- 2:28:10Testecleese: A what?
- 2:28:11Brian McFadden: Top secret clearance?
- 2:28:12Testecleese: Oh, God, dude. Dude, you… You keep forgetting how old we are, dude.
- 2:28:19Testecleese: our clearances have, expired years ago.
- 2:28:24Brian McFadden: Not hers.
- 2:28:26Brian McFadden: She could have kept it active, she was in a job that required it.
- 2:28:30Testecleese: Yeah, but she didn't.
- 2:28:32Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 2:28:36Testecleese: By the way, you do know I had top-secret clearance, right?
- 2:28:41Brian McFadden: I… I went to Catton's mask for my top secret clearance, so…
- 2:28:46Testecleese: Well, I went to Katmass for a different reason.
- 2:28:54Testecleese: But I had top-secret clearance in the Navy and all right.
- 2:28:59Testecleese: And he… no, no, what's funny, dude, is people have no idea what that means.
- 2:29:03Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:29:05Testecleese: Do you think it means I can just, like, go in and look at what you're doing?
- 2:29:11Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 2:29:12Testecleese: Even though they've heard need to know.
- 2:29:15Brian McFadden: Right, I don't understand that.
- 2:29:18Testecleese: Well, here's the funny thing is, the reason why me as a hull technician, a repairman in the Navy.
- 2:29:24Brian McFadden: Did you have to go to nuclear spaces?
- 2:29:26Testecleese: It was because I had to go into top-secret spaces to do repairs.
- 2:29:29Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:29:31Testecleese: Yeah. I didn't need to see what they were doing, and you know what was cool? I would… I would walk in, announce myself, you know?
- 2:29:39Testecleese: Yeah. Hey, you know, HD2, Yaton… oh, shit. I… I don't think I've ever said my last name here before. That sucks.
- 2:29:48Brian McFadden: Soca…
- 2:29:49Testecleese: Yeah, Asia.
- 2:29:50Brian McFadden: Sounds like we have a million listeners, so…
- 2:29:52Testecleese: I know, right? HD2 here to, you know, do the repair job.
- 2:29:57Testecleese: Make the space ready.
- 2:30:00Testecleese: Thing is, these nukes are dicks. It… realistically, it would take them, like, 5 seconds to do what they gotta do.
- 2:30:07Testecleese: Which is basically, cover what you're doing so I don't see it, right?
- 2:30:11Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:30:12Testecleese: But they would make a shit fit.
- 2:30:14Testecleese: Like, it was such a fucking issue.
- 2:30:21Testecleese: I remember once in particular, they were doing this to me, and I was like, well…
- 2:30:25Testecleese: Chief, I know your boys are being dickheads trying to, be intensively slow to be assholes, but you do realize that, like, the reason why I'm here is because you're,
- 2:30:37Testecleese: Your… your toilets are overflowing.
- 2:30:41Testecleese: Like, there's just gonna be more shit floating around the floor the longer they make it take.
- 2:30:46Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:30:48Testecleese: R.
- 2:30:50Testecleese: Fair.
- 2:30:52Testecleese: I don't know, it's just… They… that was just plumbing.
- 2:30:56Testecleese: And Jesus Christ.
- 2:30:58Testecleese: I had a wild time in the Navy, dude.
- 2:31:04Testecleese: I blew shit up, I welded, I plumbed.
- 2:31:10Testecleese: Blowing shit up was fun.
- 2:31:14Testecleese: Oh!
- 2:31:17Testecleese: We bought pumpkins, apparently, and the girls didn't eat them fast enough, and we think one's rotten, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to shoot it with my 12-gauge shotgun and record it with my high-speed camera.
- 2:31:30Brian McFadden: Nice.
- 2:31:33Testecleese: It will be fun to see, huh?
- 2:31:35Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:31:37Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:31:39Testecleese: Where are we… oh, okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry, back on track.
- 2:31:47Testecleese: What… what's going… we went back to Venezuela for Trende Aragua, I guess?
- 2:31:52Brian McFadden: Yeah, I killed the…
- 2:31:55Testecleese: Yeah, go ahead.
- 2:31:57Brian McFadden: We killed the leader of Trendwig Wagga.
- 2:32:02Testecleese: This is interesting to me.
- 2:32:05Testecleese: Very… As I've said, Brian, I think that…
- 2:32:13Testecleese: what's going on in Iran is the culmination of an entire thing that I think might have started under Trump in his first term, but…
- 2:32:23Testecleese: Was drawn up before that.
- 2:32:25Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 2:32:27Testecleese: Well, let's look at it.
- 2:32:29Testecleese: Trump took over Venezuelan oil, right?
- 2:32:32Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:32:33Testecleese: What, the largest oil…
- 2:32:38Testecleese: Contributor on the planet.
- 2:32:41Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:32:42Testecleese: And then he cleaned up the,
- 2:32:46Testecleese: tradeways in the Caribbean with the pirates by using the Coast Guard mostly, and sometimes the Navy.
- 2:32:54Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:32:55Testecleese: and blew all that shit up. Renamed it to the Gulf of America.
- 2:33:00Brian McFadden: Nice.
- 2:33:02Testecleese: Yep.
- 2:33:03Testecleese: then, blows up Iran enough and shots off the Strait of Hormuz to cut off oil to the planet, except through the Gulf of America.
- 2:33:15Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:33:17Testecleese: The United States becomes the number one oil supplier on the planet.
- 2:33:22Testecleese: Russia is trying to keep up, but they can't, because they're too busy fighting a fucking war with the Ukraine that they can't seem to win, which, let's be real, Russia.
- 2:33:32Brian McFadden: They should have won a long time ago.
- 2:33:34Testecleese: You should've… you should be embarrassed by now, right?
- 2:33:36Brian McFadden: You should be.
- 2:33:37Testecleese: You are no… you are no superpower, you are a bitch.
- 2:33:42Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:33:42Testecleese: Let's be real.
- 2:33:43Brian McFadden: We all predicted early on that there was no way Ukraine could win this war, with or without U.S. support, so…
- 2:33:52Testecleese: They did get a lot of U.S. They still are, but still, Russia still should have been able to literally just drive tanks in.
- 2:33:58Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:33:58Testecleese: Right?
- 2:34:01Testecleese: And why didn't they? I don't know.
- 2:34:06Brian McFadden: I don't either.
- 2:34:08Testecleese: It's just… Like I said, anyway, Russia's not putting out oil because of the war.
- 2:34:18Testecleese: Apply.
- 2:34:19Testecleese: United States is the biggest oil outputter on the planet, as… Saudi Arabia leaves OPEC.
- 2:34:30Testecleese: United States comes out a global leader in energy. We supply energy to the world.
- 2:34:38Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 2:34:40Testecleese: But Trump failed. Okay, so he failed upward so much.
- 2:34:47Testecleese: That he took over the world's energy supply?
- 2:34:51Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:34:51Testecleese: This is my argument that I'm trying to bring up, because no, just like this fucking peace deal, right?
- 2:34:58Testecleese: I don't know if you noticed, but I made sure not to share shit about a peace deal, because I went nuts about it last couple times.
- 2:35:06Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:35:08Brian McFadden: It's a memorandum of understanding that has not been signed by anybody besides Trump yet.
- 2:35:15Testecleese: No, every time he does this.
- 2:35:18Brian McFadden: And Israel keeps bombing Lebanon, and that's screwing up the peace deal.
- 2:35:23Testecleese: Yeah, okay, why the fuck does that have anything to do with what's going on in Iran, and I get it, but… no, all of these fucking… oh, the war's almost over.
- 2:35:32Testecleese: All it's done is fluctuate the price of oil, and it's moving.
- 2:35:36Brian McFadden: We've done.
- 2:35:39Testecleese: Yep. Just moving money around.
- 2:35:40Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:35:43Testecleese: You know what? The fact that it fell through again this time…
- 2:35:48Testecleese: I'm actually gonna invest this time.
- 2:35:50Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:35:56Testecleese: Well, it's already too late, I gotta do it when they're on high again, don't I?
- 2:36:01Testecleese: Not a high, but…
- 2:36:02Brian McFadden: Low.
- 2:36:04Testecleese: Yeah, people are excited about it.
- 2:36:11Testecleese: Yes.
- 2:36:12Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 2:36:16Testecleese: These arguments are fucking stupid.
- 2:36:19Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:36:23Testecleese: Ukraine's stupid. What are they doing trying to fucking fight Russia? Why didn't they come to an agreement before it came to conflict? Let's be… real.
- 2:36:33Testecleese: Right? Well, because you…
- 2:36:34Brian McFadden: Ukraine was promised by the Obama administration that if they got rid of their nukes, we would protect them forever.
- 2:36:41Testecleese: That made him NATO.
- 2:36:43Brian McFadden: No! Without NATO!
- 2:36:46Testecleese: No, that made them NATO, because the United States would be… would be there protecting them, which means NATO would have to, right?
- 2:36:51Brian McFadden: they're not officially NATO, yeah, but, yeah, okay. But, you know…
- 2:36:56Testecleese: Oh, okay, so that's the issue.
- 2:36:57Brian McFadden: We failed our promises to Ukraine.
- 2:37:02Brian McFadden: If they still had nukes, Russia wouldn't be attacking them right now.
- 2:37:07Brian McFadden: It wouldn't even dare.
- 2:37:09Testecleese: So is that what it was? I re- I remember we talking… us talking about this.
- 2:37:14Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:37:15Testecleese: It had something to do with news.
- 2:37:16Brian McFadden: When the Soviet Union broke up, they had…
- 2:37:19Brian McFadden: Several different nuclear bases in there.
- 2:37:23Testecleese: Before, though?
- 2:37:24Brian McFadden: I know, I know, but they… but Obama talked them into getting rid of their nukes.
- 2:37:29Brian McFadden: with the promise that U.S. would always be there for them, and… Typical U.S.
- 2:37:35Brian McFadden: Situations, we've failed!
- 2:37:38Brian McFadden: And we're quasi-there, and the American people don't give two shits about this war.
- 2:37:45Testecleese: Yeah, we didn't put soldiers on the ground, because we didn't want to get into war with Russia.
- 2:37:50Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:37:51Testecleese: Here's the problem, is we're worried about their nuclear capacity, right?
- 2:37:56Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:37:57Testecleese: That's the big issue.
- 2:37:58Testecleese: Russia's nuclear weapons. Apparently, Their… their fucking weapons suck.
- 2:38:05Brian McFadden: I wouldn't doubt it.
- 2:38:06Testecleese: No… Does that just mean they're gonna irradiate everything, or…
- 2:38:11Testecleese: I don't know, but apparently their weapons don't work right.
- 2:38:17Testecleese: Like, this… My god. This would be like the United States invading Mexico.
- 2:38:23Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:38:24Brian McFadden: You'd think.
- 2:38:26Testecleese: It would be over an hour's.
- 2:38:29Testecleese: Like, for real, why didn't Russia just drive 100,000 tanks across the border?
- 2:38:34Testecleese: Right up to the Capitol.
- 2:38:36Brian McFadden: Maybe they don't have 100,000 tanks anymore.
- 2:38:38Brian McFadden: Millasola facade.
- 2:38:41Testecleese: You think that's what it was? You know what? That's a good argument, dude, because if they could have done it, they probably would have.
- 2:38:52Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:38:54Testecleese: Well, I mean, imagine if the United States decided that it was time to take Mexico, for whatever reason.
- 2:38:59Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:39:00Testecleese: And we just rolled up with 100,000 tanks on the capital of Mexico, you know?
- 2:39:05Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:39:07Testecleese: What are they gonna do?
- 2:39:09Brian McFadden: Nothing.
- 2:39:10Testecleese: Yeah. Oh, oh, fuck.
- 2:39:14Testecleese: That… that's a lot of tanks.
- 2:39:17Brian McFadden: I gotta go get more beer, I'm out.
- 2:39:21Testecleese: I was about to say the same thing, but I'll see what we're doing next.
- 2:39:27Testecleese: Oh, shit!
- 2:39:29Testecleese: Yeah.
- 2:39:30Testecleese: Speaking of this, what's going on with the wars and such,
- 2:39:37Testecleese: Russia apparently fired a warning shot across the bow of, I believe it was an English?
- 2:39:44Testecleese: UK-registered yacht.
- 2:39:56Testecleese: I'm not sure what to think of this.
- 2:39:58Testecleese: And I'm gonna hope I remember to bring it when Brian comes back.
- 2:40:04Testecleese: a warning shot.
- 2:40:06Testecleese: means continue what you're doing, and I will destroy you.
- 2:40:14Testecleese: Believe it or not, the only people in the United States allowed to fire a water shot in the United States Navy.
- 2:40:21Testecleese: Which is why I'm gonna cut a little bit of slack to the Russians here. However, they were in the English Channel.
- 2:40:27Testecleese: firing a warning shot up across the bow of an English yacht.
- 2:40:35Testecleese: I think this is a real issue. The Russians are becoming way too aggressive.
- 2:40:41Testecleese: And I think NATO's letting this shit slide too much. They're expecting the United States to pick up the slack.
- 2:40:49Testecleese: But the United States has been busy, and look at what Russia's been doing while the United States has been busy. Well, where the fuck were all these other countries that refused to be involved in what was going on in Iran then?
- 2:41:01Testecleese: Why weren't they involved in Ukraine?
- 2:41:03Testecleese: No, they got their thumbs up their asses, pretending they're better than you, It's a bunch of garbage.
- 2:41:16Testecleese: Yeah, I mean, at the same time, the Ukraine apparently launched, I guess, anyway, launched a series of, drone attacks into Moscow.
- 2:41:29Testecleese: Which…
- 2:41:31Testecleese: I thought one of the big agreements in this war was there was gonna be a front line and that's it.
- 2:41:37Testecleese: We don't hit inland.
- 2:41:41Testecleese: Ukraine has not given a shit about that. They keep hitting civilian infrastructure in Moscow.
- 2:41:49Testecleese: Which is, very frustrating.
- 2:41:52Testecleese: It's tough to support either side, you know?
- 2:41:57Brian McFadden: Yep, it sure is.
- 2:42:02Testecleese: I'm sorry, I got to watch him sit down, put the headphones on me, on, hear me say those words, and then respond like he knew what I said.
- 2:42:11Brian McFadden: Exactly! I gotta play along!
- 2:42:14Testecleese: No, but it was… it was fucking excellently done, dude.
- 2:42:17Brian McFadden: Thank you, thank you!
- 2:42:21Testecleese: I was going up, what are you drinking anyway, dude? That looks like a fucking giant, weird, mug root beer.
- 2:42:27Brian McFadden: No, it's not root beer.
- 2:42:29Brian McFadden: Captain Coke?
- 2:42:30Testecleese: Yeah, you drink bitch drinks.
- 2:42:33Brian McFadden: Whatever. I got more Miller Lite in my cooler here, so… I brought a couple more cans up, so…
- 2:42:39Testecleese: Yeah, I was going off about what's going on in Ukraine and Russia.
- 2:42:43Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:42:43Testecleese: And how I think they're fucking both corrupt fucking…
- 2:42:47Testecleese: evil societies that, for all I give a shit, they can kill each other.
- 2:42:53Brian McFadden: Right, I understand. Yeah, I mean, Russian warships have fired warning shots at UK-registered vessels and yachts in the channel, and…
- 2:43:02Testecleese: Yeah.
- 2:43:03Brian McFadden: You know, and then we got drone strikes. Apparently, Ukraine knows how to build drones, you know?
- 2:43:10Testecleese: Oh, that's what they've been doing, is they've been… they're hitting Moscow.
- 2:43:13Brian McFadden: It's a drone war, yeah, yeah.
- 2:43:15Testecleese: That's the issue, is these guys are supposed to have an agreement to fight a frontline war, and…
- 2:43:20Brian McFadden: I'm doing it.
- 2:43:20Testecleese: and keeps hitting Moscow.
- 2:43:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:43:24Testecleese: And, Belarus? Is it Belarus or Belarus?
- 2:43:29Brian McFadden: Boiler roofs.
- 2:43:31Testecleese: Okay. A soccer team, I'm gonna assume… I'm sorry, it said football team. I'm gonna assume that means soccer.
- 2:43:38Brian McFadden: Hucker. Yeah.
- 2:43:40Testecleese: bus…
- 2:43:42Testecleese: Taking high school students to the fucking front line of the war to play fucking high school soccer. Good fucking idea, right? Yeah. But anyway, one of them got hit by a rocket or something.
- 2:43:57Testecleese: Only one person died who happened to be an adult, and a whole bunch of children died. It was the wife of the coach.
- 2:44:05Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 2:44:07Brian McFadden: Why was she on the bus?
- 2:44:10Testecleese: Why not?
- 2:44:12Brian McFadden: I've never been on a…
- 2:44:13Testecleese: Cheerleader, cheerleader kind of thing.
- 2:44:14Brian McFadden: Oh, okay, alright.
- 2:44:17Testecleese: And Belarus, I'm sorry, Belarus…
- 2:44:23Brian McFadden: Belarus.
- 2:44:25Testecleese: Yeah, see, again, I don't know which one it is.
- 2:44:27Brian McFadden: Belarus.
- 2:44:28Testecleese: Belarus.
- 2:44:29Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:44:30Testecleese: It's demanding you to know who fired the rocket, because it matters, and whoever fired that rocket's gonna lose the war.
- 2:44:39Testecleese: Because I don't know if you're aware of where this nation is located, but it's actually between Ukraine and Russia.
- 2:44:47Testecleese: It borders both, you know what I mean?
- 2:44:51Testecleese: And I was like, what are you guys gonna do? For real, what are you gonna do?
- 2:44:56Brian McFadden: It's a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the east and northeast, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latavia to the northwest.
- 2:45:08Testecleese: Ryan's getting really good at looking shit up, really.
- 2:45:10Brian McFadden: There's, not… I'm not doing it.
- 2:45:13Brian McFadden: 9 million people, they speak Russian and Belarusian, and they use the Belarusian ruble. It used to be part of Soviet Union, big surprise.
- 2:45:25Testecleese: Yes, obviously.
- 2:45:26Brian McFadden: The country is known for its forests, lakes, and relatively terrain.
- 2:45:32Brian McFadden: And… but they closely are… they have close political and economic ties to Russia.
- 2:45:41Testecleese: Yes, and that's the issue, is that they're concerned now if Russia took out this Soccer team of…
- 2:45:47Brian McFadden: They didn't do it on purpose.
- 2:45:49Testecleese: Well, they don't care if it was on purpose or not, honestly.
- 2:45:53Brian McFadden: And the, the country has been led by the same person since 1994.
- 2:46:00Brian McFadden: So, they don't have actual elections in Belarus, obviously.
- 2:46:08Testecleese: Yeah, no, even if the Belarusians… Is that the right word?
- 2:46:15Brian McFadden: Those are not good enough to me.
- 2:46:21Testecleese: Even the Belarusians are finally offended by Russia.
- 2:46:25Testecleese: Who cares?
- 2:46:27Brian McFadden: What are they gonna do?
- 2:46:29Testecleese: Oh, it's a couple hundred thousand people?
- 2:46:31Brian McFadden: Million.
- 2:46:33Testecleese: Millions, okay.
- 2:46:36Brian McFadden: They have 9 million people living in the country.
- 2:46:38Testecleese: 9 million. So, what is that,
- 2:46:41Testecleese: The East Borough of New York City?
- 2:46:44Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
- 2:46:48Testecleese: And that's something I think people don't realize.
- 2:46:51Testecleese: Just like these people that came to see the World Cup of soccer.
- 2:46:55Testecleese: And they thought they were gonna, like, fly to Boston, and drive to go see all the games.
- 2:47:00Brian McFadden: No, somewhere on the West Coast, somewhere on the East Coast.
- 2:47:05Brian McFadden: Russia had… how many… how many people do you think the population of Russia is?
- 2:47:11Brian McFadden: 9 million for Belarus.
- 2:47:15Brian McFadden: I've looked it up.
- 2:47:17Testecleese: Oh, let me grab… let me think for a moment.
- 2:47:19Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 2:47:20Testecleese: Keep busy talking, I'm gonna grab a beer, I'm gonna think from Russia.
- 2:47:25Brian McFadden: How many people in Russia?
- 2:47:27Testecleese: I didn't…
- 2:47:28Brian McFadden: The capital of Moscow has over 13 million residents just in the city.
- 2:47:33Testecleese: In Moscow. Yup. Moscow is a big city, though, it's not like, it's not like Boston.
- 2:47:38Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:47:40Testecleese: Alright, I'm gonna think of this for a couple seconds.
- 2:47:43Testecleese: You continue to speak while I grab a beer.
- 2:47:46Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:47:49Brian McFadden: So, yeah, Russia, and then,
- 2:47:53Brian McFadden: The second largest city in Russia is St. Petersburg.
- 2:47:57Brian McFadden: The United States has about 340 million people.
- 2:48:01Testecleese: How many Belarusians are there?
- 2:48:03Brian McFadden: 9 million.
- 2:48:05Brian McFadden: Canada has 42 million people.
- 2:48:09Testecleese: I'm gonna guess 97 million.
- 2:48:11Brian McFadden: Close. 146 million.
- 2:48:14Testecleese: Oh, that wasn't terrible!
- 2:48:16Brian McFadden: No, it wasn't terrible, you were in the ballpark, I'll give you that, yeah.
- 2:48:21Testecleese: I was just thinking how much of Russia is inhabitable, you know what I mean?
- 2:48:26Brian McFadden: Not a lot.
- 2:48:27Testecleese: A lot of it's Arctic. Yeah. You know?
- 2:48:30Brian McFadden: Siberia.
- 2:48:34Testecleese: Here's the problem is, man, like, for…
- 2:48:37Testecleese: Okay, let me John Lennon first.
- 2:48:39Brian McFadden: So, despite its normal size, Russia has less than half the population of the United States.
- 2:48:47Brian McFadden: Because I got a lot of frozen tundra.
- 2:48:49Testecleese: That's why Russia's not nearly as powerful as they think they are.
- 2:48:52Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:48:54Testecleese: The problem is, they're powerful enough.
- 2:48:57Brian McFadden: You gotta pay attention to them.
- 2:48:59Testecleese: Though you have to pay attention, but, like.
- 2:49:02Testecleese: You guys aren't moving the needle on the world.
- 2:49:05Testecleese: Especially with the communism, you know?
- 2:49:10Testecleese: It's like you're stifling innovation, because, like, why would I put in effort
- 2:49:14Testecleese: And spend my money to try to do something new and different.
- 2:49:18Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:49:19Testecleese: If you're just gonna take it from me anyway.
- 2:49:23Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:49:25Brian McFadden: Anything leftovers you want to cover?
- 2:49:28Testecleese: That was everything we had in foreign and…
- 2:49:30Brian McFadden: I got more… all that's left is Iran. You want to talk anything about Iran?
- 2:49:36Testecleese: no, you're right.
- 2:49:41Brian McFadden: We can cover that next week, because I'm sure.
- 2:49:43Testecleese: I don't care.
- 2:49:44Brian McFadden: More on Rand News next week!
- 2:49:48Testecleese: Oh, the war's.
- 2:49:49Brian McFadden: We're going on 3 hours here, so…
- 2:49:52Testecleese: Oh, the war's ending. No, it's not. Okay, okay, that's what's going on in Iran.
- 2:49:57Brian McFadden: All Americans care about is gas prices.
- 2:50:01Testecleese: It was just stupid, honestly, but…
- 2:50:04Brian McFadden: That's the.
- 2:50:05Testecleese: Bro, man.
- 2:50:05Brian McFadden: Average American is stupid.
- 2:50:08Testecleese: Well… What's even worse… was, inflation was what?
- 2:50:15Testecleese: 9% when Trump took office under Biden.
- 2:50:21Testecleese: And it's up to 3%, or 3.2% now, and people are.
- 2:50:25Brian McFadden: People are still freaking out, yeah.
- 2:50:29Testecleese: No, not even still.
- 2:50:31Testecleese: They didn't honor Biden.
- 2:50:35Testecleese: Fuckin' Stephen Colbert did a whole sketch.
- 2:50:38Brian McFadden: Of course he did.
- 2:50:39Testecleese: About how he was willing to pay more for gas.
- 2:50:42Brian McFadden: But he wasn't willing to pay his employees.
- 2:50:44Testecleese: If it was gonna save the world, because he drives a Tesla.
- 2:50:48Testecleese: You know?
- 2:50:51Brian McFadden: But he wouldn't pay to keep his employees employed.
- 2:50:54Brian McFadden: When everybody got laid off, and his show got canceled.
- 2:50:59Testecleese: Maybe there is some stuff I want to talk about in Leftovers, the… okay.
- 2:51:06Testecleese: Taco Bell KFC Pizza Hut, on base.
- 2:51:10Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:51:11Testecleese: It's gone.
- 2:51:11Brian McFadden: But it ain't there anymore, no more. Pizza's been sold!
- 2:51:15Brian McFadden: to a Chinese company, No.
- 2:51:20Testecleese: Yeah, I was a little surprised, because.
- 2:51:23Brian McFadden: Well, Pizza Hut… Taco Bell's going through the roof. KFC has seen a resurgence, too, because they're doing all these weird deals where you can pretty much get a whole bunch of shit for really cheap.
- 2:51:36Brian McFadden: But Pizza Hut has been struggling, and so.
- 2:51:40Testecleese: Well, no, the problem with the, oh, you get a whole bunch of stuff really cheap, that bothers me, means that these guys could actually afford to charge you less.
- 2:51:49Brian McFadden: They're not gonna.
- 2:51:50Testecleese: But don't.
- 2:51:51Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:51:52Testecleese: Because they know you're gonna pay it.
- 2:51:56Brian McFadden: But the Yum! brand has always been more focused on KFC and Taco Bell.
- 2:52:04Brian McFadden: Pizza Hut was always, like, an afterthought.
- 2:52:09Testecleese: Yeah, I know, but Pizza, pizza's pretty good.
- 2:52:12Brian McFadden: Yeah, but they're closing locations everywhere. I mean, their latest thing is, hey, people like to eat in the restaurants. Maybe we can open up some… they're actually bringing back the lunch buffet in certain locations.
- 2:52:26Testecleese: Yeah, it's tough to find that.
- 2:52:28Brian McFadden: It is. I got a couple here in Michigan that I could go check out and do.
- 2:52:32Brian McFadden: You know?
- 2:52:33Brian McFadden: within driving distance, within, like, half hour, 45 minutes. And that's where I think Pizza Hut lost it, was because they tried to focus on drive-through and delivery so much that they forgot what their core people were. The people showed up for their lunch buffets.
- 2:52:52Brian McFadden: And they also… people want to come in and enjoy a dine-in experience in a pizza place.
- 2:52:58Brian McFadden: Even if they weren't there for the lunch buffet, people still showed up for dinner, ordered a couple pizzas and some sodas or beers, and just sat there and ate pizza. You can't do that in very plain places anymore, when it comes to chain restaurants.
- 2:53:15Testecleese: Yeah…
- 2:53:17Testecleese: The problem is, I think if we rough-packed Pizza Hut the way it used to be, it'd be a great thing for the United States with the, the reading program.
- 2:53:26Testecleese: Yeah. Free, free personal pizzas for kids who read 5 books.
- 2:53:30Brian McFadden: Yeah, they're not doing that anymore.
- 2:53:33Testecleese: Well…
- 2:53:34Brian McFadden: It was a good program. I agree with you.
- 2:53:38Testecleese: I don't remember what I was… Oh, this is about the UK kid.
- 2:53:44Testecleese: Check this out.
- 2:53:46Testecleese: United… you see the UK banned, social media for children?
- 2:53:52Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:53:54Brian McFadden: I think Australia did, too, but we don't have our August and I on to talk about it.
- 2:53:58Testecleese: They did it a bit ago, and we talked about when it happened.
- 2:54:04Testecleese: UK has done it, and here's a teenager who's asked what she's gonna do instead of, going on the internet.
- 2:54:12Brian McFadden: Okay, what'd she say?
- 2:54:14Audio shared by Testecleese: ED.
- 2:54:16Audio shared by Testecleese: Stare at a wall.
- 2:54:17Audio shared by Testecleese: Terrible, okay.
- 2:54:20Testecleese: Oh my god, too, it was straight to a commercial, isn't it?
- 2:54:23Brian McFadden: Hollywood.
- 2:54:24Testecleese: Oh, hold on.
- 2:54:26Audio shared by Testecleese: Yeah, we literally…
- 2:54:28Audio shared by Testecleese: Screen time. What was your screen time over the weekend? Nine hours. Nine hours. So, suddenly, you're gonna have a lot more time to fill. And what will you do?
- 2:54:37Audio shared by Testecleese: Stare at a wall.
- 2:54:39Audio shared by Testecleese: Cool.
- 2:54:39Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, what the fuck?
- 2:54:43Testecleese: That's what got me, was… Stare at a wall.
- 2:54:47Testecleese: Why not go do something?
- 2:54:51Testecleese: If I'd stare at a wall.
- 2:54:53Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:54:54Testecleese: This is the problem, this is a 14-year-old kid who doesn't realize the stuff to do besides the internet.
- 2:55:01Brian McFadden: I mean, I turned on screen time on my phone when it was offered right away, just to know how much crap I'm wasting on social media, you know? And it's 8 hours, 9 hours a day, what it averages, you know, and that's crazy… that's crazy.
- 2:55:16Brian McFadden: When you think about it?
- 2:55:20Testecleese: Yeah, when I checked my phone in the morning?
- 2:55:28Testecleese: A couple times during the day when I'm doing shit.
- 2:55:31Brian McFadden: Well, my screen times went up for Facebook and social media since I moved to Michigan, so…
- 2:55:38Brian McFadden: I don't have a job yet, you know, I've got nothing better to do, I'm bored, so that's what I do.
- 2:55:44Brian McFadden: It sucks.
- 2:55:45Testecleese: And you're still getting less screen time than these teenagers.
- 2:55:48Brian McFadden: Yes. Yes.
- 2:55:49Brian McFadden: And I'm not gonna stare at a wall.
- 2:55:52Brian McFadden: what I can't get on Facebook either, you know? I'll find some other shit to do in life, you know? Like, I took a… my wife made me go kayaking a while ago, you know, for the first time.
- 2:56:03Testecleese: Collin, what did you do when you were a kid, Brian?
- 2:56:06Brian McFadden: I didn't have internet, there was no internet, and there was no cell phone.
- 2:56:10Testecleese: That's what I'm saying, it's like, you didn't just stare at a wall, dude.
- 2:56:13Brian McFadden: No, I survived! I made it to 50s! I've made it to now, you know?
- 2:56:20Testecleese: Here's the thing is, I remember before the internet, I remember the internet showing up.
- 2:56:26Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:56:28Brian McFadden: I remember having dial-up internet.
- 2:56:35Brian McFadden: Camp you serve?
- 2:56:36Brian McFadden: You probably had AOL.
- 2:56:38Testecleese: Yeah, we at AOL.
- 2:56:40Brian McFadden: You got the disc in the mail.
- 2:56:42Testecleese: Yes, exactly, the CD.
- 2:56:44Brian McFadden: Everybody got one of those in the mail.
- 2:56:46Brian McFadden: Multiple times.
- 2:56:48Testecleese: Because they gave you the software for free.
- 2:56:51Brian McFadden: CompuServe was free too, you just had to, like… I don't know.
- 2:56:56Testecleese: Yeah, you just had to go find it. Versus these guys gave it to you. It's like…
- 2:57:00Brian McFadden: Yeah, and we're Azale will know.
- 2:57:02Testecleese: Oh, I know, but that was good marketing at the time, wasn't it?
- 2:57:06Brian McFadden: They failed, though. They didn't move, they didn't move with the times.
- 2:57:10Testecleese: AOL still exists, but, recently someone just bought them, actually.
- 2:57:16Brian McFadden: So people still do dial-up with AOL?
- 2:57:19Testecleese: No, no, it's not dial-up, they've gone full digital.
- 2:57:23Testecleese: America Online.
- 2:57:27Testecleese: Jeez, what was that?
- 2:57:29Testecleese: Early 90s?
- 2:57:32Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 2:57:33Testecleese: Sounded like a fax machine hooking up.
- 2:57:36Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:57:40Testecleese: Something in here about Fauci, I'm pretty sure, no?
- 2:57:44Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 2:57:46Testecleese: Biden… And it's fucking classified shit. I don't know if I care enough.
- 2:57:54Brian McFadden: What happened to… I shared a video of Biden at the Obama…
- 2:58:02Brian McFadden: Thing where everybody left him on stage by himself for his… At the library.
- 2:58:08Testecleese: I remember seeing it, but I don't know where it went.
- 2:58:13Brian McFadden: Oh, wow.
- 2:58:15Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:58:18Brian McFadden: Because nobody cares about Biden anymore, and they just left him on stage by himself.
- 2:58:23Testecleese: Exactly, just like his wife strung him out, right?
- 2:58:27Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:58:29Testecleese: She fucking completely threw him under the bus to sell her book.
- 2:58:34Testecleese: They need more money? Is that what it is, or does she want to be famous?
- 2:58:38Brian McFadden: I think she wants to be famous, they don't need any more money.
- 2:58:41Testecleese: For throwing her husband The president under the bus.
- 2:58:46Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:58:46Testecleese: Could you imagine being famous for being the first lady who said, yeah, no, my husband was a fraud?
- 2:58:52Testecleese: He completely ripped off the American people.
- 2:58:57Testecleese: Can you imagine that's why you remember it in history?
- 2:59:00Brian McFadden: That's crazy.
- 2:59:01Testecleese: And I was the woman who supported it.
- 2:59:03Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:59:03Testecleese: Nope.
- 2:59:04Brian McFadden: I was the one who helped cover up the fraud for the longest time.
- 2:59:08Testecleese: Yeah, and pretend it didn't… you did so good, Joe! You answered all the questions!
- 2:59:15Testecleese: Or is he 6 years old?
- 2:59:17Audio shared by Testecleese: Exactly.
- 2:59:19Brian McFadden: He's in his 80s.
- 2:59:23Testecleese: I think we got this one, Marian.
- 2:59:25Audio shared by Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:59:27Audio shared by Testecleese: Cutting the cord.
