- 0:06Audio shared by Testecleese: And now's the time when things are shifting.
- 0:08Audio shared by Testecleese: We're gonna… there's gonna be a new world order out there.
- 0:11Audio shared by Testecleese: I'm leaving.
- 0:17Audio shared by Testecleese: Who are fake news?
- 0:19Audio shared by Testecleese: I am not suicidal!
- 0:23Audio shared by Testecleese: We'll circle back with you directly. I can circle back, I'll circle back Do not come.
- 0:30Audio shared by Testecleese: Do not come.
- 0:32Audio shared by Testecleese: I'm gonna come.
- 0:34Testecleese: Well, she never circled back, but he certainly came, and hello, welcome to the 347th episode of this season of The Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
- 0:45Brian McFadden: I'm Brian.
- 0:47Testecleese: We're just a couple of guys drinking some beers, talking about, what's going on, current events kind of stuff.
- 0:54Testecleese: Great!
- 0:57Testecleese: Apparently, the DHS is, put out a list of, like, hostile judges against Trump.
- 1:05Brian McFadden: Interesting.
- 1:07Brian McFadden: That's probably a long list.
- 1:09Testecleese: Well, first thing, I actually went looking for this list, I couldn't find it, but I didn't try that hard, to be fair.
- 1:16Brian McFadden: Oh, God.
- 1:17Testecleese: I was… I was hoping to find Bosenberg, or whatever his name is.
- 1:21Brian McFadden: Oh, he'll be on there. He's probably number one.
- 1:26Testecleese: It's amazing how he got every freaking call that was, trump in question, huh?
- 1:33Testecleese: But yeah, apparently it's pissing off a lot of people that all these people got, quote, doxxed.
- 1:38Testecleese: for their… their views. It's like, this is literally what a judge's job is, right?
- 1:43Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:43Testecleese: And what a judge does is public record. Now, maybe DHS shouldn't have published this, maybe they should have leaked this out.
- 1:52Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:55Testecleese: You know what I mean by that, like, let someone else publish it, kind of thing, you know?
- 2:03Testecleese: But… I'm not sure what the big issue is, besides…
- 2:09Testecleese: the government saying that other government is bad, but I mean, isn't that what…
- 2:14Testecleese: judicial system's been doing since they've… since Trump's been in office?
- 2:18Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:21Brian McFadden: Sure have.
- 2:24Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:26Testecleese: Oh, this is interesting.
- 2:30Testecleese: We brought this up a long time ago when it came to what was going on with the NFA, and Trump seemed uninterested at all with the National Firearms Act, and that what just happened with suppressors…
- 2:41Testecleese: And don't go out and buy a suppressor.
- 2:44Testecleese: ATF is gonna set rules.
- 2:48Testecleese: There may be unconstitutional rules, but it's still the rules until the court says otherwise, right?
- 2:53Brian McFadden: Right, yep.
- 2:54Testecleese: Yeah, don't go getting arrested because you're excited.
- 2:58Testecleese: But now they're talking about restoring gun rights
- 3:02Testecleese: To convicted felons that have non-violent convictions.
- 3:09Testecleese: After so much time, or whatever, just like you would restore voting rights.
- 3:15Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 3:15Testecleese: Because it's always been voting rights and not gun rights. I don't know if people realize that.
- 3:21Testecleese: They say, we can't trust you with a gun, but you trust them to vote, you know?
- 3:24Brian McFadden: Right.
- 3:26Testecleese: I think… I think it takes the same amount of trust, honestly, don't you?
- 3:30Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:31Testecleese: Like, you're not a gun guy, but you own a gun!
- 3:34Testecleese: You have a gun in your house that you own.
- 3:39Testecleese: Brian, how does that feel?
- 3:42Brian McFadden: Feels good.
- 3:44Testecleese: It does feel good, doesn't it?
- 3:46Testecleese: Should it hit the fan, I have a… I am armed, right?
- 3:50Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 3:52Testecleese: And I just thought it was hilarious, well, you lived in Virginia, man, you should have definitely had a gun.
- 3:58Testecleese: Did you blame the wife at the time?
- 4:02Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 4:02Testecleese: Last time I brought this up, because it's… you… you didn't have a gun there for a long time.
- 4:08Testecleese: And I'm assuming you're not a felon, right?
- 4:11Brian McFadden: No, I'm not.
- 4:12Testecleese: I'm… I'm surprised you didn't own one, just because of… you were on the wrong side of the railroad tracks, if you know what I mean.
- 4:22Testecleese: What was the other side of our…
- 4:25Testecleese: Martin Luther King Boulevard, right?
- 4:27Brian McFadden: Not that bad.
- 4:30Testecleese: Okay.
- 4:36Testecleese: Okay, this Kennedy Center shit is up in the news again. You know what, I almost put in leftovers.
- 4:42Testecleese: You seem very interested, because you keep sharing stuff about it. What the fuck is going on with the Kennedy Center again? And, again, who…
- 4:50Brian McFadden: The board is pro-Trump, and they have to keep going to the judges to overrule the board.
- 4:57Brian McFadden: I mean, obviously the Trump Center needs to be shut down for a while and be remodeled. Whether or not Trump goes on… name goes on it, I really don't care.
- 5:06Brian McFadden: You know, but if it's as bad as Trump says it is, then shut it down and fix it right, the first time.
- 5:14Testecleese: Yeah, honestly, I don't care if his name is on it or not. I don't either!
- 5:18Brian McFadden: I don't either, but them are having…
- 5:21Testecleese: Fairness.
- 5:21Brian McFadden: The Dems are going into TDS mode, but the thought of it.
- 5:25Testecleese: Wow. Jeez, Brian, you… did you listen to a different podcast or something? You said TDS, as if you know what it is.
- 5:33Brian McFadden: Well, I do this podcast, so I know what Trump Derangement Syndrome is.
- 5:40Testecleese: Israel Derangement Syndrome is the new one.
- 5:44Testecleese: But that's just because people hate Jews, which I laugh my balls off when they tell me how we gotta stop the Jews, and then they support people attacking Jews on college campuses, and then call people Nazis. I'm like.
- 5:58Testecleese: Do you…
- 5:59Testecleese: Do you see the problem? And then, you know, you point out, it's like, well, you guys want this Nordic model, right? And you want socialism. Like, yeah, okay, so you want, like, 6'6", fucking tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed dudes, and social… Jesus Christ, have you met Hitler?
- 6:15Testecleese: Like, you'd be his best friend, you know?
- 6:23Testecleese: Jesus Christ! Nazi is what, National German, Socialist Workers' Party, right?
- 6:31Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, it's not my dad.
- 6:33Testecleese: From… from German. Trans…
- 6:38Testecleese: Sorry, it's just, this is…
- 6:41Testecleese: They, they get a, oh, the nationalist is the difference.
- 6:49Testecleese: I think most people don't know what nationalism is, Brian. I think they think nationalism means,
- 6:55Testecleese: a superiority complex, versus you worry about your people first, and then everyone else.
- 7:06Testecleese: Shit, I do that locally.
- 7:08Testecleese: I do as much shopping as I can locally instead of online, even though I live in the middle of the boondocks, you know?
- 7:14Brian McFadden: Right?
- 7:16Testecleese: Because it helps local businesses.
- 7:18Testecleese: I don't know, moving money around locally seems like the thing to do, and…
- 7:22Testecleese: Whatever, whatever, whatever. Moving on, moving on.
- 7:27Testecleese: Oh!
- 7:28Testecleese: Disney is pissed off at… was it ABC?
- 7:33Brian McFadden: Oh, Disney owns ABC.
- 7:35Testecleese: Yeah, okay, okay, there we go. So they're pissed off at ABC because of the…
- 7:39Brian McFadden: Alright, the FCC's trying to,
- 7:42Brian McFadden: You know, hold them accountable about their… their…
- 7:46Testecleese: Equal time thing.
- 7:47Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 7:49Testecleese: Yeah, like, if you have a candidate on your show and interview them.
- 7:55Testecleese: You have to do the same amount of time for a candidate on the other side of the aisle.
- 7:59Brian McFadden: Well, there's never been a Republican or conservative on The View, so I don't know how you're gonna get equal time out of that.
- 8:06Testecleese: Don't… they have a… they have an full-time Republican, don't they?
- 8:12Testecleese: Isn't one of these women always a Republican?
- 8:15Brian McFadden: yes, a rhino.
- 8:18Testecleese: Lindsey Graham's. Is it okay to use his name that way once again?
- 8:24Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 8:24Testecleese: Because we were saying this before we died, didn't we?
- 8:27Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, long before.
- 8:28Testecleese: He was the rhino. Hey, it's unfortunate the man died, what was it, some kind of crazy brain hemorrhage or something crazy?
- 8:36Brian McFadden: Heart defect.
- 8:37Testecleese: Yeah, his heart exploded, right?
- 8:41Testecleese: very unfortunate. Doesn't mean I like his politics. And… it's unfortunate he died, but I'm not gonna celebrate it, but I'm…
- 8:49Testecleese: I'm not gonna stop making the same jokes about the rhino that he was, and I'm not even a Republican, and I could go, that's an obvious rhino.
- 8:59Testecleese: But, like, he was worse than me pretending to be a Republican, you know what I mean?
- 9:03Testecleese: At least I could lie at the right places.
- 9:07Testecleese: Right. To look Republican, you know?
- 9:09Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 9:13Testecleese: I found this fascinating. What was it, the F… Oh…
- 9:20Testecleese: Agriculture. Who are the people that do climate studies for the.
- 9:23Brian McFadden: Cream peas?
- 9:25Testecleese: No, for the federal government. We have, we have, EPA.
- 9:30Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 9:31Testecleese: EPA, I see. You were like, no, we know, I was like, yes, we do! Epa came out recently and was like, yeah, actually, it turns out climate change is not what we thought it was. We need to take several steps back and look at it again. And everyone got all butthurt. Now the reports have come out.
- 9:48Testecleese: We already knew the planet was greener than it's ever been, and I always just thought that was CO2.
- 9:53Testecleese: From burning fossil fuels, but apparently, burning fossil fuels is raining down this, nitrogen compound.
- 10:02Testecleese: That is the right nitrogen unit for fertilizer, like, like, expensive fertilizer.
- 10:09Testecleese: Like, it's at… the planet is healthier that this stuff is getting burned.
- 10:15Testecleese: And remember, we're coming out of an ice age, that explains the very slow rise in temps, but wasn't the world supposed to end already by now, by.
- 10:24Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, many times.
- 10:25Testecleese: There'll be nurse.
- 10:26Brian McFadden: It's supposed to be no New York City, you know.
- 10:30Brian McFadden: Texas is supposed to be coastline, you know, because California was overcome with water.
- 10:37Testecleese: Texas already has Coastline.
- 10:39Brian McFadden: But you know what I mean. The west coast of Texas.
- 10:42Testecleese: Nevada Bay.
- 10:44Testecleese: Oh, I'm sorry, Arizona Bay, right?
- 10:46Brian McFadden: Yes,
- 10:47Testecleese: Yes. Learn to Swim, See You in Arizona Bay. It's a Tool song, by the way, about the end of the world. Great tune, everyone should check out Tool if they're not familiar.
- 11:01Testecleese: Alright, oh!
- 11:03Testecleese: Fauci shit, more Fauci shit.
- 11:07Brian McFadden: No, this isn't about Fauci, this is his advisor.
- 11:10Testecleese: Yes, it is, Brian, and here's the problem, is you and I have made our points about this, and it turns out we're right.
- 11:17Testecleese: But… This has happened several times, hasn't it?
- 11:22Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 11:24Testecleese: How long are we supposed to sit here and spike the ball in the end zone as evidence comes out? Like, every time? To make sure people remember? Because no one gives a shit what we say.
- 11:34Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 11:36Testecleese: But here we are, spiking the ball in the end zone again, because a Fauci aide, like, flipped on Fauci and sold him out.
- 11:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, but will anything happen to Fauci?
- 11:47Brian McFadden: Not in federal court.
- 11:49Testecleese: As he was pardoned with all of that.
- 11:51Brian McFadden: Well, the states are coming full high.
- 11:53Testecleese: he might get hit with contempt of Congress.
- 11:55Brian McFadden: Yeah, or the states.
- 11:58Brian McFadden: Well, wouldn't his contempt of Congress be covered by the federal pardon?
- 12:02Testecleese: No, because, his pleaing the 5th, After his pardon.
- 12:09Brian McFadden: Pilot.
- 12:10Testecleese: contempt… was contempt of Congress, which was not under the pardon, it was contempt of Congress because he was immune to prosecution, so therefore he had no right against self-incrimination.
- 12:21Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 12:22Testecleese: That's actual… that's the actual argument. That's why we give people immunity before we put them on trial, to testify against someone else.
- 12:31Testecleese: It's so that they can say this and not go to prison themselves.
- 12:34Brian McFadden: Right.
- 12:36Testecleese: Like, now you can testify and not lie.
- 12:39Testecleese: You know, I'm gonna skip ahead on the intro.
- 12:46Testecleese: I almost put this first one on intro somewhere else, but I was so excited to talk about it, I wanted it first. But I wanna talk about the last one first. Columbia House is closing down, I'm pissed off because.
- 12:58Brian McFadden: Do you still have records coming?
- 13:00Testecleese: Well, no, I was part of BMG Music Service when I was much younger.
- 13:04Testecleese: Same thing, like, 12 CDs for a penny each, right?
- 13:08Brian McFadden: Yeah, I had Columbia House.
- 13:10Testecleese: Yeah, I did BMG. As long as I filled out the thing and sent it back saying, no, don't send me the…
- 13:16Testecleese: monthly CD for $25, right?
- 13:21Brian McFadden: Right.
- 13:21Testecleese: That's usually… right, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
- 13:24Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 13:24Testecleese: Then you, like, you buy one CD for $25, but you get 12 for a penny after that. You're like, well, that's a deal.
- 13:32Testecleese: I used it, I had a huge CD collection. Now I find out that fucking Columbia House has been in service this whole fucking time!
- 13:41Testecleese: After BMG shut down, I could have got CDs after all mine got destroyed and sitting in storage for fucking 9 years.
- 13:50Testecleese: Maybe not, maybe they don't do CDs anymore, maybe it's all.
- 13:53Brian McFadden: Who knows what their model was at this point, you know?
- 13:57Testecleese: But they've been around, they've been around for 71 years?
- 14:00Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 14:02Testecleese: Whoa… release.
- 14:05Testecleese: When they sell one fuckin'… cassettes to start, I guess?
- 14:10Brian McFadden: There were.
- 14:10Testecleese: tech?
- 14:11Brian McFadden: Might have been doing 8-tracks.
- 14:13Testecleese: 8-tracks came after cassettes.
- 14:17Testecleese: It's more advanced than a cassette. You could… you had 8 tracks you could skip to.
- 14:24Testecleese: Yeah, I just… I just thought that was crazy.
- 14:26Testecleese: 71 years.
- 14:29Testecleese: Now, Brian, please… Tell me this next story, and tell me what you think this means.
- 14:36Testecleese: Or could mean, rather.
- 14:39Brian McFadden: that, the median strategies emit a fake poll in the LA and Wisconsin races, and it shut down its poll. It shut down because it was such a good pollster.
- 14:51Brian McFadden: polling company. It just means they rigged the game, and they now know that because they rigged it and people found out about it, nobody's gonna buy their poles anymore, so they've got no actual business model anymore.
- 15:05Testecleese: Problem is… crazy thing is, the advantage they gave to socialists. Were they calling it an experiment, is what they're calling it, to not, you know, be trashed?
- 15:14Testecleese: Their numbers weren't even off more than other polls.
- 15:19Testecleese: One pole header at 20 points up, what was it,
- 15:26Testecleese: Jesus Christ, San Francisco, was it? No, Wisconsin.
- 15:31Testecleese: No, it was LA. LA, I'm sorry.
- 15:35Testecleese: With the whole, yeah, the midnight dump of ballots, you know?
- 15:42Testecleese: It just… How many other times…
- 15:47Testecleese: Not just these guys, but how much are they making this shit up to try to convince people this is what's popular? Because let's be real, women in particular.
- 15:55Testecleese: Go with what's popular.
- 15:57Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 15:59Brian McFadden: They do.
- 16:02Testecleese: Huh.
- 16:04Testecleese: Speaking of stupid shit like that, I got called racist yesterday.
- 16:09Brian McFadden: Wow.
- 16:10Brian McFadden: Online?
- 16:12Testecleese: No.
- 16:14Testecleese: I was driving home, and you know that scenic overlook right near my house that overlooks the valley where the sawmill is, and all that shit?
- 16:23Testecleese: Anyway, there was this couple pulled over, and the dude was standing on top of, like, the 2-foot stone wall.
- 16:33Testecleese: And I pulled, like, halfway over, I was like, hey, just be careful, someone fell to their death recently.
- 16:39Testecleese: from right there.
- 16:42Testecleese: And the woman who's on the other side of the vehicle that's parked goes, is this some kind of racist shit?
- 16:49Testecleese: And I looked at it, and I was like, pardon? It was because I'm black? I was like, first of all, you're not the one on the wall.
- 16:57Testecleese: Second of all, if I wanted you… if I was truly racist and I wanted you to follow you to death, I would have just driven by and laughed.
- 17:04Testecleese: You know?
- 17:05Brian McFadden: Right? Huh.
- 17:06Testecleese: What did you… do you have any evidence someone died here recently? I was like, I actually…
- 17:10Testecleese: On me? No, but maybe the memorial that your boyfriend, spouse, girlfriend, ZZMM…
- 17:18Testecleese: kicked… literally kicked aside to stand on this wall to get a photograph. Right. Like, those are… those are pictures of the men who died, you know?
- 17:28Testecleese: And I was like, er, whatever, it's like…
- 17:30Testecleese: I'm just trying to be a nice guy, and I'm an asshole.
- 17:34Testecleese: You know? Yeah. Just… I couldn't believe that happened. Yeah, they had North Carolina plates, by the way.
- 17:43Brian McFadden: Of course I did.
- 17:44Testecleese: Yeah, they were outside. Don't get me wrong, there's not a whole lot of black folk here in West Virginia where I live, but there are some.
- 17:52Testecleese: And they realize that not every… I say they, as if I know what every Black person in West Virginia is thinking, where I live.
- 18:00Testecleese: Well, I mean… These black folk don't…
- 18:03Testecleese: assume, or at least don't accuse me of racism every time I interact with them, as long as I'm just, you know, a nice person.
- 18:11Testecleese: It drove me nuts that,
- 18:14Testecleese: she was pissed off, and I said, hey man, watch out, you might fall to your death like other people have, you know?
- 18:19Brian McFadden: Right.
- 18:20Testecleese: Anyway, anyway, moving on.
- 18:23Testecleese: Little League… Little League's World Series thing, One team already got eliminated.
- 18:31Testecleese: From the tournament, you know that for, like, an ineligible player?
- 18:36Brian McFadden: Okay, well, these people were accused of stealing the calls.
- 18:41Brian McFadden: Which is not illegal in the Major League Baseball.
- 18:44Testecleese: Is that what it was? Stealing calls? I thought they were being accused of using signs. And I was like, that's what baseball is.
- 18:52Brian McFadden: The way I read the article was they were stealing the… they figured out the signs from the other team, and they were using it to their advantage.
- 19:03Testecleese: Yeah, no, that's baseball, right?
- 19:06Testecleese: You… that's when you switch to the other system of signs you use to say, someone's stealing, you know.
- 19:14Testecleese: run, or… you know what I mean?
- 19:17Testecleese: I don't know, this is part of baseball, it really is.
- 19:21Testecleese: Like, you don't want the, the batter to swing and line drive to shortstop when someone's trying to steal second. That's an easy double play, right?
- 19:29Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 19:32Testecleese: So I'm not sure what people are upset about.
- 19:36Brian McFadden: Oh, the… the… they got… They weren't allowed to play in the tournament because of it, so…
- 19:42Testecleese: Mmm… Well, out here in Webster County, the, Economic Development Authority Director has stepped down.
- 19:53Testecleese: It's… this entire… Organization thing is, voluntary.
- 20:01Testecleese: And this guy had enough, because no matter what
- 20:05Testecleese: And it's voluntary because there's not enough people that know what the fuck it is to vote. You know what I mean?
- 20:13Testecleese: But basically, he was set… trying to make a budget.
- 20:17Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 20:20Testecleese: And West Virginia doesn't give a shit.
- 20:23Testecleese: Apparently.
- 20:24Testecleese: They… they're not even running numbers through his office to let him know what's being spent and what's being brought in.
- 20:31Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 20:32Testecleese: He's like, well, what's… why am I volunteering my time in the government building, putting all this effort in, if it doesn't mean shit? He's like, I'll just go home, or maybe I'll… maybe I'll go back to work, or, you know?
- 20:45Brian McFadden: Right.
- 20:45Testecleese: Work longer hours, it just… I don't know.
- 20:49Testecleese: Normally, I would say it's not a big deal, but it's my own county.
- 20:54Testecleese: And it makes me a little concerned that no one seems to know where the fuck the money's going.
- 21:01Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's a problem.
- 21:02Testecleese: Yeah, and another teacher over here in, Conowa County, which is where, Charlestown is.
- 21:11Testecleese: Teacher has been picked up for, Hold on
- 21:20Testecleese: There we go. He was a teacher at one point.
- 21:25Testecleese: No, was he a teacher? Yeah, I swear it says in here somewhere he's a teacher. Anyway, he used to be a, Republican delegate.
- 21:34Testecleese: in West Virginia, And he's being brought up on, child exploitation charges. What's…
- 21:42Testecleese: Not funny, not ironic, I don't know the right word, but he was the one who was pushing a stop-diddling Kids bill when he was in office.
- 21:52Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 21:54Testecleese: Yes.
- 21:55Testecleese: And where it happens, we need to call it out, I don't care what party does it, but did you notice, once again, it's a teacher?
- 22:02Brian McFadden: Yeah, the teachers had problems.
- 22:04Testecleese: This time it may have been a dude, it's usually women we've noticed, right?
- 22:08Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 22:09Testecleese: But I saw this come up, and I was like, oh, another teacher fucking touching kids! What the…
- 22:15Testecleese: Wha- why is this not… Discussed more.
- 22:20Brian McFadden: Right.
- 22:22Testecleese: Like, more of this has happened in the last year that you and I have covered, and you and I stumble across it by accident, right?
- 22:30Brian McFadden: Right.
- 22:31Testecleese: then unarmed black men were shot in 2020. I'm sorry, 2018. But we rioted in 2019, because so many unarmed black men were killed in 2018. By the way, guess how many unarmed black men were shot and killed by the police in 2018?
- 22:48Brian McFadden: Zero.
- 22:50Testecleese: 9.
- 22:51Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 22:52Testecleese: Not 900, not 9,000.
- 22:56Testecleese: People were saying tens of thousands when they were asked. No, 9. No, 9.
- 23:03Testecleese: You're rioting in the streets.
- 23:07Testecleese: Because you keep watching the same fucking shit over and over again, you know?
- 23:15Testecleese: Oh, tell me… tell me… about the great Jew Exodus.
- 23:22Brian McFadden: Yeah, we'll see this year.
- 23:23Testecleese: Please, Louise, the Jews need to leave again?
- 23:26Brian McFadden: We'll see if this actually happens, but yeah, there's been articles that came out in polling.
- 23:31Brian McFadden: that say that the Jews are gonna go and not vote Democrat in Michigan, they're gonna vote for, the Republican for a change.
- 23:42Testecleese: You definitely got the Exodus joke, didn't you?
- 23:45Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, definitely, yep, but, the liberal…
- 23:49Testecleese: And it's fucking Egypt over here, dude, right?
- 23:52Brian McFadden: Ever since we've had these polls come out saying that the Republican is way ahead of the Democrat senator.
- 24:00Testecleese: Al Saeed…
- 24:01Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 24:01Testecleese: Zane Muhammad…
- 24:03Brian McFadden: Right. We've… there's been now new… 4 new polls that came out were saying that LC head is way ahead of Roger, so…
- 24:12Brian McFadden: Go to the Go Vote, On election day, and we're about the whole.
- 24:17Testecleese: Poles?
- 24:18Brian McFadden: No, I don't trust.
- 24:19Testecleese: They're admitting that they lied to us, dude!
- 24:22Testecleese: To see if you would sway or vote socialist, because they told you other people were going to.
- 24:31Testecleese: Fucking crazy, isn't it?
- 24:33Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 24:34Testecleese: And we're all like, oh, you know what I mean, that makes perfect sense. This sounds like election rigging, with this poll thing.
- 24:41Brian McFadden: Right. I mean, that's why a lot of poll companies, they stopped doing polls, you know?
- 24:47Brian McFadden: Because it just… it wasn't… Wasn't profitable enough for them, you know?
- 24:52Testecleese: And the ones that were… are still doing it, are putting right on there, like, we asked this many people from these areas.
- 24:59Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 25:00Testecleese: You know, you know what I mean? It's like… and there's…
- 25:04Testecleese: This is not a nationwide poll. We didn't ask literally every person in the country
- 25:10Testecleese: Oh yeah, boy, oh, man.
- 25:13Testecleese: Sorry, I just say it really bothers me, these guys made up their fucking polls. I'm pretty sure that's how you're freaking…
- 25:18Testecleese: dude got the nomination in Michigan. Do you think he can beat the Republican?
- 25:24Brian McFadden: Hmm, I don't know.
- 25:26Brian McFadden: Wouldn't that swing? Well, he, he…
- 25:28Testecleese: it already.
- 25:29Testecleese: spreadsheet.
- 25:30Brian McFadden: Yes, it was.
- 25:31Testecleese: So this would help the Republicans by him being nominated if they can beat the Socialists.
- 25:37Brian McFadden: Right. Well, you know, he's socialist, he's…
- 25:41Brian McFadden: a fan of Hassan Piker, and he's Muslim, so…
- 25:46Testecleese: Yeah… Hassan Breger. I am… I love that you know who this dude's name is, dude.
- 25:53Brian McFadden: Boy, you've drilled his name into me, so…
- 25:56Testecleese: Now, yeah, now you're starting to see it, though, you're like, oh, shit, I know who this asshole is now.
- 26:03Testecleese: But I knew his name was gonna show up.
- 26:06Testecleese: He was getting too popular with his fucking crazy…
- 26:09Testecleese: Left-wing bullshit, talking about Mao Zedong was a great fucking hero. That motherfucker killed more people than Stalin.
- 26:17Testecleese: Kill more than fucking Mussolini, more than Hitler?
- 26:22Testecleese: More than Pol Pot.
- 26:27Testecleese: Oh, we gotta chase the sparrows away, because the sparrows are eating the crops. Meanwhile, the sparrows were actually eating the fucking grasshoppers and the locusts that did eat the crops. You scared the sparrows away, your crops are gone. Everyone dies.
- 26:44Testecleese: Sorry about my crazy rant there, but this is what happens when you do these communist things. People don't know what the fuck they're talking about. They don't know how shit works.
- 26:54Testecleese: And they're just gonna say, legislate it. Just like I've been listening to some of these Karen things lately on the YouTubes, because it's funny.
- 27:03Testecleese: You would be amazed at how many times people complain when someone does, like, work for them. How often people complain that the fucking sun is in the wrong place.
- 27:14Testecleese: I'm not kidding, like, well, can you do something else? Like, you want me to move the sun?
- 27:18Brian McFadden: Yeah, sure, no problem.
- 27:20Testecleese: If I could move the sun, I would rule the planet, right?
- 27:25Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 27:26Testecleese: And, oh, really? How? That'd be so easy! I could decide who gets sunlight and who doesn't.
- 27:33Testecleese: I'm in charge, period, right?
- 27:36Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 27:37Testecleese: It is, oh my god, the things people say! It's so… Entitled.
- 27:44Testecleese: You know?
- 27:46Testecleese: Like, oh, just, just do it. It's like, what the… I can't move the sun, bitch!
- 27:53Testecleese: Alright. Brian, take over for a little bit, because I'm just gonna get pissed off. Okay.
- 28:01Brian McFadden: Yeah, we got… well, we had, 3 Michigan men who've been arrested after a drone appeared to deliver contraband tobacco to a federal prison.
- 28:10Brian McFadden: Yeah, drones are good for some things, but dropping stuff into prison? Probably not good.
- 28:16Testecleese: Not a good idea.
- 28:17Brian McFadden: You're gonna get caught.
- 28:19Testecleese: That was some ballsy shit, wasn't it?
- 28:21Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 28:22Testecleese: Like, if you were willing to abandon your drone, you might have got away with it.
- 28:27Brian McFadden: But they weren't.
- 28:28Testecleese: Yeah, if you just left it there, dropped the controller, and ran away…
- 28:33Testecleese: Or, it's probably on your phone.
- 28:35Testecleese: And just, boom.
- 28:37Testecleese: But I bet you the way they found these assholes was by following the drone back to them.
- 28:42Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 28:45Brian McFadden: And then, Dearborn has obviously been in the news a lot lately.
- 28:50Testecleese: Yeah, the Christians are getting upset, finally, which, it takes a lot to piss off.
- 28:54Brian McFadden: Too little, too late, Dearborn is completely run by Muslims, and the Christians are saying that,
- 29:02Brian McFadden: Sharia law is taking over…
- 29:05Brian McFadden: in Dearborn, and it was… I mean, I don't know if it's gone that far, but…
- 29:11Testecleese: I don't know, Brian, I've had people tell me that's not true at all, and I said, the sheer fact that they have a call, a public call to prayer…
- 29:20Testecleese: Tells me maybe it's true.
- 29:24Testecleese: How are you allowed to have a public call to prayer through a government system?
- 29:29Brian McFadden: Well, I don't know if it is through a government system.
- 29:32Testecleese: Yeah, they're using, like, a PA system, it's not like church bells.
- 29:36Brian McFadden: Yeah, but it could have been a PA system that's been paid for by the different boss.
- 29:41Testecleese: You're right, it's entirely possible it is privately owned. But at that point.
- 29:46Testecleese: The government should step in and say, you can't… broadcast this.
- 29:50Brian McFadden: Well, who's gonna enforce that when the mayor and all the city council are Muslims? Who's gonna say, no, you can't do that?
- 29:59Testecleese: Well, I'm not gonna speak for all Muslims, Brian.
- 30:02Testecleese: But I do real… I will say that, if Christians were doing this, a Christian court system would shut it down in a damn Ari.
- 30:13Testecleese: Right?
- 30:13Brian McFadden: Okay, maybe, maybe not.
- 30:16Testecleese: And, oh, oh, Christmas trees!
- 30:19Brian McFadden: They're bad.
- 30:20Testecleese: No, that's… that argument that might come up is like, oh, they do Christmas trees in these little towns still, they still do one in New York.
- 30:27Testecleese: You could, you could say…
- 30:28Brian McFadden: It's on private land.
- 30:30Testecleese: On the one news.
- 30:31Brian McFadden: Kennedy Center is owned by NBC.
- 30:35Testecleese: Is it really?
- 30:36Brian McFadden: I think so. I could be wrong.
- 30:38Testecleese: And that's the one that Canada gives us the giant tree for?
- 30:41Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 30:42Testecleese: Every year?
- 30:43Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 30:44Testecleese: I think it's pretty cool.
- 30:46Testecleese: Canada gives us a, like, 60…
- 30:49Brian McFadden: Well, they used to, they might not do it after… they might not do it this year, so…
- 30:53Testecleese: Well, I don't know, they did last year! And it was even worse than now, because the Canada finally buckled, but we'll get to that.
- 31:02Brian McFadden: But Haley Stevens, she was running against Al Ced, and lost her, primary bid to be… said that he should really consider cutting ties with Hassan Piker.
- 31:15Brian McFadden: To, help his chances of winning the Senate.
- 31:19Testecleese: Isn't that what literally every Democrat is saying? Like, even, Car…
- 31:25Brian McFadden: Caravo, yeah.
- 31:26Testecleese: Harville, yeah. I keep wanting to say Harville. I used to have this, CMC Harville, you know?
- 31:34Testecleese: And I keep confusing the two, I'm like, they're definitely not the same guy. Even though Carville is a Marine!
- 31:42Testecleese: Yeah.
- 31:43Brian McFadden: Long time ago.
- 31:45Testecleese: So I'm certain he knows what a Master Chief is, right?
- 31:48Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
- 31:49Testecleese: Actually, he wasn't… he was an HTCM who was standing in for CMC.
- 31:55Testecleese: when they were waiting for a new CMC, because he didn't want to give up his rating.
- 32:00Brian McFadden: Hmm.
- 32:01Testecleese: Well, then he eventually did after I got out, and he became a CMC anyway.
- 32:05Testecleese: Which, anyone who's not Navy doesn't understand what any of this means, but Brian knew what all of that meant.
- 32:11Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah,
- 32:12Brian McFadden: TMC is its own rating.
- 32:15Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 32:15Brian McFadden: Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor.
- 32:18Testecleese: But it's funny you say that, Brian, like, your average person wasn't able… doesn't know what a rating is.
- 32:24Brian McFadden: True.
- 32:25Testecleese: So, you know…
- 32:27Brian McFadden: Job description.
- 32:28Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, what your job is.
- 32:30Brian McFadden: The average American doesn't even know what that is anymore.
- 32:33Testecleese: Here's the crazy thing, is I had a dangerous job welding with toxic explosive gases. I did sewage, I did all this engine repair. Brian took fucking photographs. But check this out. Brian went to Sears School.
- 32:49Brian McFadden: That's right.
- 32:50Testecleese: Which… Brian, please tell me… remind me what CER stands for, what… Search E. Search…
- 32:57Brian McFadden: Invasion, rescue, escape.
- 33:02Testecleese: This is for, like, helicopter pilots who get shot down behind enemy lines.
- 33:08Brian McFadden: Yeah,
- 33:09Testecleese: Because the guy taking the… the guy taking the combat photos had to be.
- 33:13Brian McFadden: Might have been in the helicopter. Yeah, it might have been in the helicopter!
- 33:17Testecleese: Exactly!
- 33:18Brian McFadden: Thank God I was never in that situation, because I failed miserably at serious school.
- 33:26Testecleese: shit you want, you were in the fucking Pentagon when the plane crashed into it.
- 33:30Brian McFadden: I know, but it's not the same as here at school.
- 33:33Testecleese: The training, believe it or not, helped, man. It helped keep your head level, and you know it.
- 33:39Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 33:39Testecleese: do what's the right thing to do, don't panic. Because you know as well as I, panic just makes shit worse.
- 33:45Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, definitely.
- 33:48Testecleese: Alright. Oh, shit!
- 33:53Testecleese: You have a… You've been to Massachusetts, you've probably never been to Lawrence.
- 33:58Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 33:59Testecleese: It's, it's way up north.
- 34:01Testecleese: Apparently, their mayor doesn't speak English?
- 34:05Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think we've talked about this guy in the past.
- 34:07Testecleese: I think we have, but now…
- 34:09Brian McFadden: I'm like, how in the heck does a mayor get elected mayor with no English?
- 34:15Testecleese: Yeah, it's like, well, no one speaks his language.
- 34:17Brian McFadden: Then he does say, he says, God bless you, you know?
- 34:21Testecleese: Well, you can learn a handful.
- 34:23Testecleese: of…
- 34:24Brian McFadden: Bros.
- 34:26Brian McFadden: How are people voting for this guy that doesn't speak English?
- 34:30Testecleese: Well, didn't he just get… he's being brought up on, COVID relief fraud.
- 34:35Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 34:37Testecleese: spoke English well enough to file the paperwork to get relief.
- 34:42Testecleese: Right. Fraudulently.
- 34:44Brian McFadden: He's facing up to 30 years in prison.
- 34:48Brian McFadden: But…
- 34:50Testecleese: Whoa.
- 34:51Testecleese: What gets me is… either he filled these paperwork… this paperwork out himself.
- 34:55Brian McFadden: Oh, somebody else, fill it out.
- 34:58Testecleese: Boom.
- 34:59Testecleese: Let's get them too. But because didn't Trump do something about it? I was like, no, our official language is English, we're not gonna put everything out in a thousand languages anymore.
- 35:08Brian McFadden: I got one of these loans for my small business, but I didn't get $1.5 million, I got, like, $1,500.
- 35:16Brian McFadden: I wish I could have found a way to get a $1.5 million
- 35:20Brian McFadden: Economic disaster loan from the SBA.
- 35:23Brian McFadden: That would have been handy.
- 35:25Testecleese: You're the wrong color, Brian.
- 35:28Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 35:30Testecleese: You don't have enough melanin in it.
- 35:33Brian McFadden: I'll work on that.
- 35:37Testecleese: Good luck in Michigan! You can't even get a suntan in Michigan, right?
- 35:41Brian McFadden: I know. Nope, nope.
- 35:43Testecleese: Oh, oh, dude, check this out. DRock!
- 35:47Testecleese: Motherfucker. Okay, I love the guy, I really do. One of the…
- 35:52Testecleese: Best people I know, genuinely a good person, you know what I mean?
- 35:56Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 35:58Testecleese: Dumb as a bag of sand.
- 36:00Testecleese: You know this as well as I, right?
- 36:03Brian McFadden: Right.
- 36:05Testecleese: He asked me to, like.
- 36:08Testecleese: And don't get me wrong, he gave me some heads up plenty of time in advance.
- 36:12Testecleese: October, he wants me to.
- 36:13Brian McFadden: -Oh, no problem.
- 36:15Testecleese: of… I'm frozen?
- 36:19Brian McFadden: I think they're fine.
- 36:22Testecleese: Alright, I can hear you.
- 36:23Brian McFadden: Hopefully he comes back in a minute. I'll just keep stallin'.
- 36:27Testecleese: Brian, I can hear you just fine.
- 36:29Brian McFadden: Sorry, oh no, my internet is unstable now. Huh.
- 36:33Testecleese: Okay, well, now you… you finally glitched, and but I… The whole time.
- 36:39Brian McFadden: Okay, that's crazy.
- 36:44Testecleese: I just guess I'm in a stall now, because I don't know what else He's a little fucking anecdote.
- 36:51Brian McFadden: I know, I know, there's… I don't know the end of the tale now.
- 36:54Testecleese: I can't even… I can't even give an opinion!
- 36:56Brian McFadden: at this point, so… Right.
- 36:57Testecleese: Wonderful!
- 36:59Testecleese: But yeah, he asked me to fucking drive up to fucking South Shore, Massachusetts for, like, the weekend of the 10th in October.
- 37:08Testecleese: Because he's gonna have the house to himself.
- 37:11Brian McFadden: Yeah, because his parents are gonna be in Florida while Sean and Katie are visiting Michigan.
- 37:19Testecleese: I was like, I don't… I don't know, man, maybe, but I was like, I have, like, a family… Right. …and, you know.
- 37:25Brian McFadden: Nice. Yeah.
- 37:27Testecleese: I'm winterizing, it's about Halloween time, I'm doing.
- 37:30Brian McFadden: Right.
- 37:31Testecleese: and so… Yeah, no.
- 37:34Testecleese: I've invited him here several times, like, I have a room for you. He waits for his parents to go out of town to invite me to Massachusetts? What the fuck is in Massachusetts for me?
- 37:44Brian McFadden: Nothing. Just him.
- 37:45Testecleese: Don't… well, no, my sister's there.
- 37:49Testecleese: She's still in Plymouth.
- 37:50Brian McFadden: I rest my case.
- 37:53Testecleese: My mother's buried in Scituate.
- 37:56Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 37:58Testecleese: And I'd love to see her resting place again, but…
- 38:02Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
- 38:03Testecleese: That's a heck of a drive.
- 38:05Brian McFadden: Right.
- 38:07Brian McFadden: For a weekend.
- 38:08Testecleese: And all he's gonna wanna do is fucking drink and smoke pot.
- 38:12Brian McFadden: Right.
- 38:14Testecleese: like… Maybe if we would go DO something?
- 38:18Brian McFadden: Hmm. Well, you're going… you're going to go get pizza?
- 38:22Testecleese: I'm just… I don't know, even, like, a fucking stupid hike, it's…
- 38:27Testecleese: if I just want to get drunk and stoned, I can do that in my house. You know what I mean?
- 38:32Testecleese: And yes, having a friend with you is, yeah, cool, awesome.
- 38:37Testecleese: What's that, 600 mile drive?
- 38:42Brian McFadden: Right.
- 38:47Testecleese: to fucking… Get drunk in stone than drive home.
- 38:51Brian McFadden: It's not worth it.
- 38:54Testecleese: Yeah, pot is a lot cheaper en masse, though.
- 38:57Brian McFadden: True, true. Okay, maybe worth it.
- 39:01Testecleese: Well, because I have a medical card here in West Virginia, and I only did this after this whole Supreme Court thing happened with the whole gun thing. Right.
- 39:10Testecleese: As I said, gun rules are friggin' falling apart all of a sudden, aren't they?
- 39:15Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 39:16Testecleese: But yeah, my… even my pot card isn't giving… it's actually not getting me cheap weed.
- 39:22Testecleese: It's expensive weed, it's just legal.
- 39:26Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 39:26Testecleese: Recreational Massachusetts is fucking affordable.
- 39:31Testecleese: Problem is, I'm not about to drive from Massachusetts to fucking West Virginia with 3 pounds of pot in my hand!
- 39:37Brian McFadden: That's a bad idea.
- 39:40Testecleese: That's begging to go to prison forever!
- 39:42Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 39:44Testecleese: I swear it's all personal use.
- 39:47Brian McFadden: Nobody's gonna believe that.
- 39:53Testecleese: So what happened there? Well, I went to Massachusetts, it was cheap, so I spent $10,000.
- 40:05Testecleese: I say that, but you can actually only buy so much in, like, a week's time or something. Oh, shit, I clicked something. You can only buy so much in a week's time.
- 40:13Testecleese: Yeah. Even recreational Massachusetts, I'm pretty sure that's every state.
- 40:18Brian McFadden: There's a… I… they can… you can only do so much per transaction, so they can literally, you know, have you pay and run up another transaction.
- 40:28Testecleese: I see mask.
- 40:30Testecleese: You were allowed so many, like, ounces a month. West Virginia has 6 ounces a month.
- 40:36Testecleese: But the thing is, at least when I was working at Security in Massachusetts, that, you know.
- 40:42Testecleese: However much a month, Only applied to our shop.
- 40:46Brian McFadden: No, so you can go to another dispenser.
- 40:47Testecleese: So you go to a different shop and buy, 5 ounces, yeah. Right.
- 40:54Testecleese: Because we… we didn't… we didn't hand it to the government,
- 40:58Brian McFadden: Right.
- 40:58Testecleese: You know what I mean? We had our own records.
- 41:01Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 41:03Testecleese: I mean, I'd love to go to Massachusetts, honestly, as… On… on a trip, right?
- 41:11Testecleese: So, everyone should go see Plymouth, for real. Everyone should go see Boston, for real, and you know it, right?
- 41:17Brian McFadden: Right.
- 41:18Testecleese: You were in Massachusetts, and you were… in Marshfield.
- 41:22Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 41:23Testecleese: It didn't go to Boston?
- 41:25Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 41:26Testecleese: How?
- 41:27Brian McFadden: I was only there for a wedding.
- 41:29Testecleese: Dulu is a 20-minute drive.
- 41:31Brian McFadden: I know, the wedding even took a lot of time.
- 41:34Testecleese: Yeah, you could have seen the Old North Church where the lanterns were held.
- 41:40Testecleese: Paul Revere's ride, you know? You could have seen the harbor. Yeah, see, the beers kicked in, huh?
- 41:47Brian McFadden: Park your car.
- 41:48Testecleese: You could have seen the harbor where the tea was tossed.
- 41:53Testecleese: As another Commonwealth person shows up, I'm talking shit about the Commonwealth! Oh, and he's gone! And he's already gone!
- 42:04Brian McFadden: That didn't last long.
- 42:10Testecleese: Alright, where were we? Oh, yeah, something weird's happened in Virginia. They're merging power companies, I guess?
- 42:20Brian McFadden: Yeah, the main power company in Virginia is trying to merge with a main company in North Carolina, and a member of the,
- 42:32Brian McFadden: state corporation company, which is, like, the overseer in Virginia, is on the board that would approve this.
- 42:41Brian McFadden: So she owns stock in the company North Carolina, and she's refusing to recuse herself.
- 42:49Brian McFadden: Because of… She… she doesn't think…
- 42:52Testecleese: That's the amount of money she's about to make when these two companies merge.
- 42:54Brian McFadden: She was the former next-era attorney for the company in North Carolina, and she says, no, that doesn't matter, I don't have to recuse myself.
- 43:03Testecleese: Anytime anyone thinks that maybe you should, as long as it's…
- 43:07Testecleese: as long as it's somewhat reasonable, right? Yeah. You do it. It's not worth the headache.
- 43:12Brian McFadden: Right.
- 43:12Testecleese: It's just… Why, why insist I sit in on this case? Right?
- 43:19Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 43:21Testecleese: It's early as hell, and Brian's fallen asleep. Repeat offender, you here or what?
- 43:27Testecleese: He's still setting up his stuff.
- 43:30Brian McFadden: I just let it back in.
- 43:32Testecleese: No, I… oh, okay, we both clicked it then.
- 43:34Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 43:38Testecleese: Oh, shit, yeah! Teacher of the Year at the school district in Tennessee.
- 43:45Testecleese: Has resigned her position after only, like, 5 years or something?
- 43:49Testecleese: Because the school told her to change the grades of her students, because parents complained.
- 43:59Brian McFadden: Wow.
- 44:01Testecleese: Well, how are you ever going to learn anything if we just hand you the final product?
- 44:06Brian McFadden: Right?
- 44:08Testecleese: Which, I believe leads right into the next one. I believe I put it in there anyway. Yep.
- 44:13Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 44:14Testecleese: Colleges are now accepting SAT scores again, because they realize GPA means jack shit.
- 44:19Testecleese: Because teachers change scores to make it look like their school is doing better than it is.
- 44:26Brian McFadden: So they can get more money.
- 44:27Testecleese: Yeah, so, versus an SAT, which goes, what did you actually learn in school?
- 44:33Brian McFadden: Right.
- 44:36Testecleese: I don't understand. The test is racist. How is it racist to ask you math and English?
- 44:43Brian McFadden: This isn't racist.
- 44:45Testecleese: Well, for real, SAT is just math and English, right?
- 44:49Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 44:50Testecleese: Like, there's no science, or…
- 44:52Brian McFadden: I don't think so.
- 44:52Testecleese: It's changed… I know it's changed since I took the SAT, because mine only went up to 1600.
- 45:01Testecleese: And… last I heard was something like 2400 or something silly.
- 45:05Brian McFadden: Okay, I don't know. It's been a couple years since I took my last SAT.
- 45:11Testecleese: Exactly.
- 45:12Testecleese: But meth… What about science? That's math.
- 45:17Testecleese: What about geology? That's science, that… which is math, right?
- 45:23Testecleese: I don't give a shit if you can weave a basket underwater.
- 45:28Testecleese: I wanna know if you can pass the goddamn test.
- 45:33Brian McFadden: Right.
- 45:34Testecleese: Yeah, I let him in again. He's having a tough time today. His signal's gonna suck. So bad, you know it.
- 45:42Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 45:44Testecleese: Meanwhile, the team.
- 45:46Brian McFadden: Oh, we might be win- we might be in this time.
- 45:49Ron Pascoe: G'day led to it.
- 45:51Testecleese: I don't know, let's see how he signals, I'm assuming it's terrible if you couldn't get in.
- 45:57Ron Pascoe: G'day lads, how are we? Can you hear me?
- 45:59Testecleese: Oh my god, there we go.
- 46:03Ron Pascoe: He's backed by popular request.
- 46:05Ron Pascoe: -
- 46:07Testecleese: Fucking Australians.
- 46:12Ron Pascoe: That we allege, that we would…
- 46:15Testecleese: New Zealand, I think, disagrees with, most of the world about how many continents there are. They're considering, like, New Zealand, Tasmania, and part of Australia their own continent, apparently.
- 46:28Brian McFadden: I didn't know that.
- 46:31Testecleese: Yeah, and Russia doesn't see the same continents we do.
- 46:34Testecleese: Eurasia is a continent.
- 46:37Testecleese: to Russia.
- 46:38Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 46:42Testecleese: Fascinating stuff.
- 46:43Ron Pascoe: New Zealand's just jealous, mate.
- 46:45Testecleese: New Zealand's a goddamn joke.
- 46:48Testecleese: No, no, and pardon my language, no, it's the same fucking thing as Hawaii. You know, it's cool. It's awesome. Let's go there and fucking vacation for, like, 5 days, right? Then go home, because, dear God, it's literally…
- 47:04Brian McFadden: It's always fancy.
- 47:05Testecleese: Taking nowhere, there's nothing there, and it costs a billion dollars to do anything.
- 47:09Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 47:11Ron Pascoe: That's right, 100%, mate, it's all gimmick.
- 47:15Testecleese: Sure!
- 47:16Ron Pascoe: You can see he's ill in 3 days.
- 47:18Testecleese: Make all your money on tourism New Zealand, for real!
- 47:21Testecleese: You could make so much money if they started opening up tourism more widely.
- 47:27Testecleese: Like, Australia does, Australia's like…
- 47:29Ron Pascoe: Thank you.
- 47:29Testecleese: Come to the Outback. Come… come fuck around and find out. You know, I'm like, alright, man! I was like, fun, you know?
- 47:37Ron Pascoe: Go and touch that animal.
- 47:41Testecleese: Watch out for Drop Baz, motherfucker!
- 47:47Testecleese: I love how this drop bear thing went for, like, 10 years before anyone realized it was a giant troll. And I was like, this is fucking awesome. An entire country's been trolling the plant for a decade.
- 47:59Testecleese: And no one realized it was a giant fucking joke.
- 48:04Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, he's a star to catch all those.
- 48:11Testecleese: I just think it's hilarious! If a koala falls out of a tree and lands on your face, it will rip your face off.
- 48:20Testecleese: But it's not intending to do that.
- 48:25Ron Pascoe: They can give you chlamydia. Give me chlamydia in?
- 48:29Testecleese: I got chlamydia and malaria, because a fucking coral bear ripped my face off!
- 48:39Brian McFadden: That's not how you're not supposed to hug the koala bear.
- 48:41Ron Pascoe: Although we'll read your phone.
- 48:43Testecleese: We'll just let that.
- 48:44Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I will read the face, and I will give the committee.
- 48:47Testecleese: What a bison.
- 48:49Testecleese: I'm sure you saw that, Ron, the nutjob in Yellowstone that tried to pet the bison?
- 48:57Testecleese: Well, he got thrown, like, 13 feet in the air! Everyone saw it, like, holy shit!
- 49:03Brian McFadden: And it was the Bison's fault.
- 49:05Ron Pascoe: Must.
- 49:08Ron Pascoe: And, mate, honestly, I've seen videos of people
- 49:11Ron Pascoe: Like, in Asia, you see that guy put his head in a crocodile's mouth?
- 49:15Testecleese: Yeah, and he got chumped!
- 49:16Ron Pascoe: The crop grabby? Yeah. Might.
- 49:20Testecleese: Understand how this works?
- 49:23Ron Pascoe: Why would you stick your head in a crocodile's mouth with a lot of white people paying you 5 cents a pop?
- 49:29Testecleese: Well, no.
- 49:29Brian McFadden: Where's it.
- 49:30Testecleese: The issue is you can do it, quote, safely.
- 49:35Testecleese: Which is not safe. But the thing is, if anything touches the alligator's tongue, its mouth snaps shut. That guy that you're talking about in particular.
- 49:44Testecleese: Sweat.
- 49:45Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 49:45Testecleese: off of him.
- 49:47Brian McFadden: They switched.
- 49:47Testecleese: Touch the alligator.
- 49:48Ron Pascoe: I don't necessary.
- 49:49Testecleese: Jaw snap, shut. They do it, they do it in Florida, too, I'm not kidding ya.
- 49:56Testecleese: I have a picture somewhere of me holding an alligator's mouth shut.
- 49:59Testecleese: With me sitting on its back.
- 50:02Ron Pascoe: Now, we just ride them… ride them to the shops and that.
- 50:06Testecleese: I came up in Massachusetts, not Florida. The wife's in Florida. She used to pat these motherfuckers.
- 50:12Testecleese: I'm like, you're out of your goddamn mind, they're fucking dinosaurs!
- 50:15Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 50:18Ron Pascoe: Like, when you go to these Croc shows and all that here in Australia, you've only got a little bit of wire fencing in between Chick and walleye fencing.
- 50:24Ron Pascoe: That's what's between you and a crock, isn't ya? You're becoming bloody chock-fludge.
- 50:29Testecleese: Fuck you, Florida!
- 50:32Testecleese: These people own homes with waterfront access, and there's alligators in their fucking yard!
- 50:39Ron Pascoe: Yay.
- 50:39Testecleese: Cooling off!
- 50:41Ron Pascoe: That's what they do up in Kills, isn't.
- 50:42Testecleese: Florida's up north?
- 50:44Ron Pascoe: No, Australia. We're up north, that's where I.
- 50:46Testecleese: Okay, okay, it's north of Australia, you're right.
- 50:51Ron Pascoe: Oh, they love the weather out there, like, because they're reptilian, so they're cold-budded.
- 50:56Ron Pascoe: So you've got to be in warmer weather to survive.
- 50:59Testecleese: I also don't understand why all of Australia is hot, like…
- 51:02Testecleese: half of that frickin' country must be far enough south to, like, freeze, but nope. Apparently not.
- 51:10Ron Pascoe: Now, we're up north in the tropics of Capricorn.
- 51:13Testecleese: See? That's what you get when you try to make a fucking sphere onto a flat piece of paper. Nothing ends up where it's supposed to be, huh?
- 51:23Ron Pascoe: Yeah, and it blows all the flat earthers out of the water, doesn't it?
- 51:27Testecleese: Greenland looks huge on a flat map, doesn't it?
- 51:31Ron Pascoe: Well, it is huge, Greenland. It's a massive one.
- 51:34Testecleese: knocks… not compared.
- 51:36Testecleese: To what it looks like on a map.
- 51:39Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah. They reduced map size, isn't that?
- 51:42Ron Pascoe: But, he's joking.
- 51:43Testecleese: No, not New Zealand. Okay, New Zealand.
- 51:46Ron Pascoe: You're going into jail.
- 51:47Testecleese: Can you know it.
- 51:48Ron Pascoe: You know the Kirkleys actually tried to enlarge their pictures on the map to make them look bigger?
- 51:54Testecleese: Well, it's mostly because your, latitudinal lines, to make them straight, you have to curve everything around the lines as you straighten the curved lines.
- 52:04Brian McFadden: It's the rum line.
- 52:06Testecleese: Alright.
- 52:08Ron Pascoe: You'll know more about that than maybe, wouldn't you?
- 52:11Testecleese: What now?
- 52:12Ron Pascoe: I said, you learn more about that in the Navy.
- 52:15Testecleese: Well, see, that's what got me, that's what blows my mind, is that we still have these flat earth conspiracies.
- 52:20Testecleese: And I'm like, how huge is this conspiracy? How many people are involved to make us think the Earth is round when it's really flat? When we have, like.
- 52:31Testecleese: Every nation that has a coastline has a navy.
- 52:36Testecleese: Like, I…
- 52:37Ron Pascoe: Fifthly.
- 52:37Testecleese: around the… I've sailed around the world.
- 52:41Testecleese: I went… West.
- 52:45Testecleese: Until I came back to where I started, right?
- 52:48Brian McFadden: Right. Read some surveys… No, no, no.
- 52:52Testecleese: Yeah, I'm like.
- 52:53Brian McFadden: It's a small minority, but in the United States, surveys have found 2-3% saying they generally believe the Earth is flat.
- 53:02Brian McFadden: Whereas in other countries, it's 1-5%.
- 53:07Testecleese: Oh, okay, so nutjobbery's more prevalent here.
- 53:10Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 53:13Ron Pascoe: Well, mate, if we can get people believing in bloody drop bears, of course they're going to believe the world's flat.
- 53:18Testecleese: But the problem is, like, I can show…
- 53:23Testecleese: the shadow of the earth on the moon.
- 53:26Testecleese: Almost any night.
- 53:30Testecleese: By simply pointing at the curvature of the moon, you know what I mean? Like, the crescent moon. Like, that's the shadow of the Earth.
- 53:39Testecleese: Like, wh- so what… Flat Earther, what happens to the moon in a monthly cycle?
- 53:46Testecleese: Brian's looking at this, I'm like, that's a good question.
- 53:48Brian McFadden: worth its money.
- 53:49Testecleese: Must have an answer for this, or else they wouldn't keep arguing, right?
- 53:54Ron Pascoe: Well, here's a fun fact, you know Australia's wider than the new.
- 53:59Testecleese: What's that?
- 53:59Ron Pascoe: Australia's longer than the Moon's diameter.
- 54:03Testecleese: So I was in the United States.
- 54:04Ron Pascoe: Australia. Australia is wider.
- 54:07Ron Pascoe: Than the moon's diameter.
- 54:09Brian McFadden: Common claims include the moon is much smaller, Nearby object, rather than.
- 54:15Testecleese: So it's closed.
- 54:16Brian McFadden: body.
- 54:18Brian McFadden: It moves above the flat Earth in a circular path along with the Sun.
- 54:24Brian McFadden: Rather than orbiting the Earth.
- 54:26Brian McFadden: And then, some versions claim that the moon is self-luminous.
- 54:30Brian McFadden: It produces its own light, rather than reflecting sunlight.
- 54:34Testecleese: In… in present cycles, though, with waxing and waning?
- 54:37Brian McFadden: Moon phases are usually explained as the moon's elimination changing as it travels through the sky.
- 54:46Testecleese: But where's it going?
- 54:46Brian McFadden: But lunar eclipses are particularly difficult for Flat Earth models.
- 54:52Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 54:53Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 54:55Testecleese: I have a friend who swears he's a flat earther. I'm like, I don't know if I believe that you genuinely believe this. He's like, you must be trolling everyone. Like, you have to be trolling, there's no way you believe this shit. No, no.
- 55:07Testecleese: Oh, oh, we've never been to the moon either, right? The United States put up a fucking giant parabolic fucking, mirror on the moon. Do people know this?
- 55:19Testecleese: Yeah.
- 55:20Ron Pascoe: One of those McDonald's Day, too.
- 55:22Testecleese: There's a giant parabolic mirror. You can actually shoot a laser beam at it.
- 55:27Testecleese: Have it come back to you, and measure how long it took to measure how far away the moon is.
- 55:33Brian McFadden: That sounds like some Austin Powers would do.
- 55:35Testecleese: We did this in the 70s!
- 55:39Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 55:40Testecleese: Why would we even been back? Why the fuck would we go back? What is that? The only reason why we went to the moon was to beat Russia to it, right?
- 55:49Testecleese: deal.
- 55:49Brian McFadden: We're going back.
- 55:50Testecleese: Yeah, what?
- 55:52Ron Pascoe: Cool thumbnail.
- 55:53Brian McFadden: Yeah, building a base.
- 55:54Testecleese: Yeah, exactly. They're talking about building.
- 55:55Brian McFadden: Moonbase One!
- 55:57Testecleese: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's against the Star Wars Accord.
- 56:02Brian McFadden: As you know, knowledgeable out?
- 56:06Testecleese: Rides from God, dude.
- 56:10Testecleese: You guys ever heard of this, weapon system?
- 56:13Testecleese: The reticle?
- 56:15Testecleese: Basically, you have, like, satellites or the moon.
- 56:22Testecleese: And you gently push, or just drop, Tungsten rods from orbit.
- 56:30Testecleese: They hit terminal velocity, They smash into the ground with the,
- 56:36Testecleese: The explosive force of, like, 100 megatons of dynamite.
- 56:45Brian McFadden: Says we can build a moon base.
- 56:48Brian McFadden: It's gonna be, the gateway, small, intended to serve a staging and support platform for other missions.
- 57:00Brian McFadden: We're gonna have a sustained presence on the moon by 2030.
- 57:04Testecleese: Well,
- 57:06Brian McFadden: I believe it when I see it.
- 57:06Ron Pascoe: Clearly, they're gonna use that as to hit Mars, aren't they?
- 57:11Testecleese: Well, Mars is a private venture, that's Elon Musk, who wants…
- 57:15Brian McFadden: I'm sure he can lease the moon base.
- 57:18Testecleese: No, no, you'll probably use the Moonbase to, exactly, to, cheaper takeoff, right?
- 57:24Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 57:25Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 57:26Testecleese: But 2030? That's 4 years, dude.
- 57:30Ron Pascoe: It's achievable.
- 57:33Brian McFadden: They're putting tents up first.
- 57:35Ron Pascoe: Hmm.
- 57:36Testecleese: Better send supplies in the damn hurry, you only got a couple years.
- 57:40Ron Pascoe: I'll put a Mickey D out there soon.
- 57:45Testecleese: Alright, it's funny, I watched this, guy recently on YouTube Shorts.
- 57:50Testecleese: Talking about this and that, and that's where I got the whole, everyone has different ideas of what the continents are, but one of the things he did was, measurement systems, and it was fascinating listening to some of the arguments
- 58:03Testecleese: like, the UK argument versus, metric, like, oh yeah, we're metric.
- 58:08Testecleese: We, we made it, it's better.
- 58:11Testecleese: I'm like, alright, well, how tall are you? He goes.
- 58:14Testecleese: 5 feet, 11 inches. He goes, that's not metric. He goes, well, human height is different.
- 58:20Testecleese: Okay, yeah, and then he goes through, like, a handful of imperial measurements the, Commonwealth uses, like, miles.
- 58:29Testecleese: Yeah. Like, they'll actually use a mile, believe it or not.
- 58:33Testecleese: They'll, they'll measure, and then, oh, our gallon's different.
- 58:37Testecleese: Turns out, an American gown… was before this whole change happened in the United Kingdom.
- 58:44Testecleese: We still have the same old measurement for what a gallon is versus what the United Kingdom is using in their imperial measurements, and they're… I just think that's fucking crazy. Just like your average American speaks better English than your Englishman.
- 58:58Testecleese: Because, the English did this whole, we're gonna mispronounce things, intentionally, sometime around, like, the 1800s.
- 59:05Testecleese: to sound smarter.
- 59:07Testecleese: That's when they start putting used in words that don't belong.
- 59:12Ron Pascoe: Yeah, they loaded their limits.
- 59:13Testecleese: Amazing.
- 59:14Ron Pascoe: a lot of their language changes, game mate, because when they're, like, they're trying to talk French and all that, learn, like, different languages, Spanish and all that, the English actually shortened some of their words and put in some of the bloody Latin words, some of the Spanish words, some of the bloody French words in their vocabulary.
- 59:33Ron Pascoe: So they changed a few… few of their words around.
- 59:39Testecleese: I don't know where you're going with this.
- 59:41Ron Pascoe: Oh, no, no, I'm just saying, like, you're talking about their language and that, just saying how it all come about, how they're, like, the English changed their language.
- 59:48Testecleese: we speak English in the United States is more accurate to when the United States became its own nation versus then when England
- 59:57Testecleese: speaks.
- 59:59Ron Pascoe: Yeah, oh yeah, but get back that miles and that thing. You know we saw little stone markers on roads here with miles on them?
- 1:00:06Ron Pascoe: what they used to have, like, for example, I live in Newcastle, and the next city up's Maitland. They used to have Maitland 24 mile.
- 1:00:14Ron Pascoe: A marking systems, do you know what I mean?
- 1:00:17Testecleese: Yeah.
- 1:00:17Ron Pascoe: Before we went to kilometers.
- 1:00:20Ron Pascoe: So you still, when you're driving along the road, you'll still see this little concrete or little stone bloody thing with a, like, M chiseled into it, and 24 chiseled into it.
- 1:00:30Ron Pascoe: The old market system, so you knew how far away you were from that next city.
- 1:00:35Testecleese: Do you know what a mile is? Like, if someone told you 10 miles, would you know how far.
- 1:00:40Ron Pascoe: Isn't it 1.7 kilometres or something, isn't it?
- 1:00:44Testecleese: It's one thing.
- 1:00:45Testecleese: It's 5,280 feet. That's… that's what I know.
- 1:00:49Ron Pascoe: Oh my god.
- 1:00:52Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I think it's 1.7 kilometres.
- 1:00:56Testecleese: Yeah, that makes sense, because when I click over my, my speedometer to kilometers an hour, I'm like, holy shit, I'm flying!
- 1:01:05Brian McFadden: Yeah, I had to do that when I went to Canada.
- 1:01:08Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, yes, because it's… which is funny, because back in the day, you didn't have to, you just had to look on the other side of your…
- 1:01:15Brian McFadden: No, it's all digital now, so…
- 1:01:17Testecleese: Yep.
- 1:01:18Testecleese: I still have a physical gauge, which is cool, which is… has both MPH and KPH, but I also have a digital display, if that's what I want. I could also have oil, pressure, whatever, whatever, you know?
- 1:01:32Testecleese: But yeah, I got a good laugh. I love how Brian's all excited he went to Canada. Is this the first time you've been to Canada? You grew up in Michigan, dude.
- 1:01:40Brian McFadden: No, I've been to Canada many times.
- 1:01:42Testecleese: I agree.
- 1:01:42Brian McFadden: I went there before I was a legal drinking age in Michigan. I went to Canada to drink.
- 1:01:48Testecleese: We did the same nearby trim.
- 1:01:49Brian McFadden: in Canada.
- 1:01:51Ron Pascoe: Put the road over cross like you.
- 1:01:53Testecleese: Yeah, we used to drive 8 hours from Mass to go up to Canada when we were 18, 19, 20.
- 1:01:59Testecleese: And the border guides are like, why are you guys coming to Canada? It's like, we're gonna party.
- 1:02:04Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:02:05Testecleese: You know that's illegal in your country?
- 1:02:08Brian McFadden: Hell, we're not in our country anymore.
- 1:02:09Testecleese: we're gonna go to your country to do this. And the guy was always like, alright.
- 1:02:18Ron Pascoe: Baby toll booth.
- 1:02:22Testecleese: It's like, you're gonna extradite me to the United States for drinking when I was 19? When it's legal in your country? It's like, the crime.
- 1:02:30Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:02:30Testecleese: No crime occurred, because, you know…
- 1:02:33Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:02:35Testecleese: But yeah, we used to do it all the time. Oh, you'd meet these,
- 1:02:39Brian McFadden: Before he needed a passport.
- 1:02:41Testecleese: Well, yes, driver's license was good enough. Largest no-passport border on the planet, because it was safe and fair.
- 1:02:49Brian McFadden: Michigan's got a program where you can actually… Good.
- 1:02:53Brian McFadden: The proper credentials added to your driver's license without a passport here in the state when you apply for your driver's license.
- 1:03:01Testecleese: Yeah, but Michigan's also having an issue building a bridge to.
- 1:03:04Brian McFadden: No, the bridge is already built. The bridge… the issue was getting…
- 1:03:06Testecleese: You're not using it, that's right.
- 1:03:10Testecleese: That's right. There's a bridge built for Canadian goods, but nothing… nothing's coming across it.
- 1:03:16Brian McFadden: It's being… it's open now. You can actually walk and… you can ride a bicycle across it, and walk across it now, too.
- 1:03:24Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:03:26Testecleese: Did we talk about the Karen Bass tax thing?
- 1:03:31Brian McFadden: No, we didn't. We just talked about her great polling system.
- 1:03:35Testecleese: She, apparently, it came out and said, if you donate… to…
- 1:03:43Testecleese: Political candidates, taxpayers, will 5X match your donation.
- 1:03:49Brian McFadden: How is that a thing?
- 1:03:51Testecleese: Damn.
- 1:03:52Brian McFadden: Sounds legal.
- 1:03:52Testecleese: is doing, it sounds very illegal.
- 1:03:56Testecleese: So she says, if you pay in $5, $30 is gonna come back out, is what's actually getting paid into the Democrat Party.
- 1:04:04Brian McFadden: California's got tons of extra money in their state.
- 1:04:08Testecleese: Well, apparently not enough to put a fire up, but they had money to send the fucking…
- 1:04:13Testecleese: mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bath, to, what was it, Nicaragua?
- 1:04:17Brian McFadden: Oh, I thought she went to Africa!
- 1:04:19Testecleese: Okay, now…
- 1:04:20Ron Pascoe: That's true.
- 1:04:20Testecleese: Nigeria, maybe. Ag Nigeria, maybe, then.
- 1:04:23Testecleese: Instead of putting the fire out.
- 1:04:27Ron Pascoe: Yeah, she went to Africa.
- 1:04:28Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:04:29Ron Pascoe: I'm waiting all night in Africa.
- 1:04:32Testecleese: I actually just saw something about… in the news coming about New South Wales, too.
- 1:04:38Brian McFadden: Wow. You're just covering all the…
- 1:04:41Testecleese: Yeah, no, New South Wales is,
- 1:04:45Testecleese: UK? Is that what you call it? The island?
- 1:04:48Ron Pascoe: No, see, my state, New South Wales.
- 1:04:51Testecleese: It's Australian, Australian. Something crazy happened there, I don't remember what it was.
- 1:04:56Testecleese: who knows? Fucking Wales is a fucking nation in the United Kingdom.
- 1:05:03Testecleese: It was an… this is… This is a true…
- 1:05:07Brian McFadden: Darn it.
- 1:05:09Ron Pascoe: Wales is entering the United States.
- 1:05:11Testecleese: You guys have a fucking king, become one goddamn country and become different states, okay?
- 1:05:18Ron Pascoe: different countries become one kingdom.
- 1:05:20Testecleese: No, you have a… you have a fucking king!
- 1:05:24Ron Pascoe: Come with me, under one kingdom.
- 1:05:27Ron Pascoe: It'll be…
- 1:05:28Testecleese: What blows my mind is when these fucking Canadians have these no-kings protests. I'm like, you have a fucking king!
- 1:05:38Testecleese: But you're worried about the United States?
- 1:05:40Ron Pascoe: They protested Donald Trump in England with no Kings Day, too. And he got the king? You know that's punishable by death.
- 1:05:48Ron Pascoe: That law's still on… still on the books, the punishment by death?
- 1:05:51Testecleese: No, there you go, you still have a fucking king.
- 1:05:54Brian McFadden: And they can use their freedom of speech in the UK, too.
- 1:05:57Testecleese: Oh, yeah.
- 1:05:58Ron Pascoe: You get locked up in jail.
- 1:06:00Ron Pascoe: Yeah. You get locked up in jail for…
- 1:06:01Testecleese: agree with their fucking Muslim king, right? Look at Tommy Robinson.
- 1:06:06Ron Pascoe: He's… he… he's a legend, that guy, Tommy.
- 1:06:10Ron Pascoe: He stood up this.
- 1:06:11Testecleese: talking about, don't I?
- 1:06:13Ron Pascoe: Yep, he went to jail for his blouse, mate. Yep.
- 1:06:17Testecleese: And all he's doing is talking.
- 1:06:19Testecleese: But they said you were a fan.
- 1:06:21Brian McFadden: You can't even be a comedian. You gotta be careful being a comedian in the UK.
- 1:06:25Testecleese: Yay!
- 1:06:26Ron Pascoe: Did you hear about the guy who got pulled up at the airport? The comedian?
- 1:06:31Ron Pascoe: They had, cops there, waiting for him at the airport. He put down a post before he went away.
- 1:06:36Ron Pascoe: an English comedian?
- 1:06:38Ron Pascoe: And they were there to meet him, they were going to lock him up, but there was massive bloody protests about it.
- 1:06:44Ron Pascoe: All he did, he just put a post up, and it had nothing to do with anything discriminatory.
- 1:06:48Ron Pascoe: But because he spoke out, they, yeah, they met him at the bloody airport when he returned home.
- 1:06:56Ron Pascoe: And the thing is, mate, I don't know if you've read about it, Brian, but here in Australia, mate, we've got the same thing happening at the moment.
- 1:07:01Ron Pascoe: There's laws been passed to, like, even try and restrict our freedom of speech, because we haven't got it in a constitution like you guys got in your constitution.
- 1:07:09Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:07:11Ron Pascoe: It's just, mate, yeah, like, we're going towards Canada and we're trying to stop it.
- 1:07:17Brian McFadden: Good luck!
- 1:07:18Ron Pascoe: Oh, mate, well, Canadians are stuffed.
- 1:07:23Ron Pascoe: what Trudeau and that brought in, well, that's… that's totally rampaged their bloody civil liberties.
- 1:07:29Brian McFadden: Right, but, you know…
- 1:07:33Brian McFadden: They gave it up, and now they're paying the price, because they let the government take over and take a mile.
- 1:07:40Ron Pascoe: all the Liberal supporters out there.
- 1:07:44Testecleese: See, this is what pisses me off, is that this Australian asshole…
- 1:07:50Testecleese: What, what, I stumbled across on the internet one day when I talked shit to a friend of his. I believe is what happened.
- 1:08:00Ron Pascoe: You know, it's…
- 1:08:01Testecleese: named David Evans.
- 1:08:03Ron Pascoe: Yeah, Dave, yeah.
- 1:08:05Testecleese: He talked a bunch of trash, because I mentioned I went to Australia once, and then I explained how I was right, and he's like, oh yeah, alright, that's alright. And that's how I met you.
- 1:08:15Ron Pascoe: But…
- 1:08:17Testecleese: But this asshole knows more about American politics than your average fucking voting Democrat.
- 1:08:24Ron Pascoe: I love your politics. I reckon you guys got the most interesting politics in the world.
- 1:08:30Testecleese: Well, because if the United States does it, for the most part, the rest of the world is gonna do it, but what's become the problem is these other nations have decided they're gonna accelerate the program, which is even worse.
- 1:08:43Testecleese: Because you're not allowing a proper testing period, and then what we had, what happened in the Netherlands, and all of a sudden, they're like, alright, we need to stop this transgender thing, because people are killing themselves more.
- 1:08:54Testecleese: You know?
- 1:08:57Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, it's interesting, mate, like, you get all these G7, G8 meetings and all that, that's where they talk about screwing us all over.
- 1:09:04Ron Pascoe: all these summits and that, these world leaders, how are we going to screw them over?
- 1:09:08Testecleese: World Economic Forum is when they talk about how to screw us over.
- 1:09:12Ron Pascoe: All of them do, mate, trust me, every summer.
- 1:09:14Testecleese: No, people don't understand. World Economic Forum isn't world leaders, it's very, very wealthy people.
- 1:09:21Ron Pascoe: It's the economics society, mate. Economics.
- 1:09:25Testecleese: And… you're worried… you and I are worried about the cost of gasoline.
- 1:09:30Testecleese: But when these guys get together and talk, you and I are fucking chickens in the chicken coop going, and laying eggs for these assholes.
- 1:09:41Testecleese: We have no idea what they're doing. It's way above our fucking knowledge, it's way above our understanding.
- 1:09:49Testecleese: They're fucking harvesting us.
- 1:09:52Ron Pascoe: It's like the CEO of Nestle.
- 1:09:54Ron Pascoe: Hear what he said? Nobody's got the right to water.
- 1:09:58Testecleese: Well… I agree with that, actually.
- 1:10:02Testecleese: Alright.
- 1:10:02Ron Pascoe: Why do you have a right?
- 1:10:05Testecleese: No. So what, I have water, you can take it, because you're ripe?
- 1:10:09Ron Pascoe: Now, if it's on your property, that's yours.
- 1:10:12Testecleese: Oh, that's different!
- 1:10:14Testecleese: That's a… oh, see, the United States doesn't know how to recognize that. The United States says the waterway… because if you have a right to it, that means you can damn it off.
- 1:10:25Ron Pascoe: Not like that. He wasn't talking like that.
- 1:10:27Testecleese: Oh, if you have a right to it, that means you can do with it as you see fit.
- 1:10:32Ron Pascoe: Now, you're right to water, not what you can do to it.
- 1:10:36Testecleese: Oh, if you have a river running through your yard, you can scoop water out, go ahead and drink it, deal with the fucking explosive diarrhea.
- 1:10:45Testecleese: Something else people don't understand… You can't just drink water.
- 1:10:54Testecleese: Everyone's so entitled, they think that, like, oh yeah, whatever.
- 1:10:57Testecleese: I'm upset I got sick. So, well, you drank stagnant water.
- 1:11:02Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:11:03Testecleese: So?
- 1:11:04Testecleese: I shouldn't get sick.
- 1:11:06Testecleese: It's like it was full of microbes.
- 1:11:10Ron Pascoe: bacteria.
- 1:11:11Testecleese: Yeah, it's full of all sorts of crazy stuff. It's like, this is why for a thousand years we've been boiling. And the best part is you hear these fucking Karens, like, well, I don't boil my water at home to drink it. No!
- 1:11:23Brian McFadden: It's already treated in the…
- 1:11:25Testecleese: Sterilized it before it got to you, bitch!
- 1:11:30Testecleese: They have no idea how life works! They're so entitled that they want more. It's something I'm gonna bring up to the fucking United Kingdom, you have a right to healthcare? What the fuck does that mean? What does a right to healthcare mean, honestly? Because…
- 1:11:45Brian McFadden: There is no right.
- 1:11:46Testecleese: No, if you should have a right to it, that means that you have to be given… give…
- 1:11:50Testecleese: Given this thing, the way they're putting it, anyways.
- 1:11:54Testecleese: The way I would say a right is, is the government's not allowed to stop you. My right to own a gun means the government's not allowed to stop me. But these assholes, they have a right to healthcare, which means the government has to give me healthcare. But they're not fucking giving me guns!
- 1:12:09Brian McFadden: You don't have a right for guns.
- 1:12:13Testecleese: And, you know, oh… and this is why capitalism is better, because Canada does this friggin'…
- 1:12:21Testecleese: socialized healthcare system, and there are more MRI machines in Portsmouth, Virginia, than there are in Canada.
- 1:12:29Brian McFadden: Well, I think in England, there's a two-tiered system. If you got the money to pay, you can get into the private system.
- 1:12:37Testecleese: We're doing that!
- 1:12:37Ron Pascoe: Understood.
- 1:12:38Testecleese: with Obamacare!
- 1:12:40Ron Pascoe: I'm in Australia, we… every Commonwealth country's got it.
- 1:12:44Ron Pascoe: See, we get… I think it's 2% of our wages goes towards healthcare.
- 1:12:48Testecleese: Oh my god!
- 1:12:50Ron Pascoe: So we can go in a private hospital, public hospital, but, like Bright said.
- 1:12:53Testecleese: Let's just say you're a very healthy man who…
- 1:12:57Testecleese: Okay, occasionally gets injured because shit happens, right?
- 1:13:02Testecleese: Why should your taxes pay for the man who eats… who has blood-type pudding?
- 1:13:08Testecleese: Why should you pay for his fucking triple bypass?
- 1:13:12Ron Pascoe: Why shouldn't we? It works for us.
- 1:13:14Testecleese: Does it?
- 1:13:16Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:13:16Testecleese: How much…
- 1:13:17Ron Pascoe: It might take you longer to wait for an assistant.
- 1:13:21Testecleese: now I would like to compare how long you wait in line, how long you wait for procedures, what you pay into taxes versus what I pay into insurance.
- 1:13:33Ron Pascoe: But you've got to assume.
- 1:13:34Testecleese: I got a feeling I have a better system than you.
- 1:13:37Ron Pascoe: No, not really. Because you've got to understand, too, like Brian said, we can opt in and buy our own private health. I've got private health.
- 1:13:43Ron Pascoe: I post mine.
- 1:13:46Testecleese: The problem is… private health insurance, that's it, that's what we… that's… that's what I'm talking about, private health insurance.
- 1:13:53Ron Pascoe: I pay, I think it's $170 a fortnight.
- 1:13:57Testecleese: Fortnite, oh my god. Is this… is this fucking 1640?
- 1:14:02Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:14:03Testecleese: A Fortnite?
- 1:14:05Ron Pascoe: Mate, you're here in Australia. A fortnight! When you're in Rome, mate.
- 1:14:12Testecleese: I believe it's 2 weeks, right?
- 1:14:15Ron Pascoe: That is certainly right, Corette.
- 1:14:17Testecleese: Alright, now let's… ouch. Alright.
- 1:14:20Testecleese: I talk trash, but I believe I've used the term scores before on the show to refer units of.
- 1:14:26Ron Pascoe: we need.
- 1:14:27Testecleese: So… What do you need to?
- 1:14:29Ron Pascoe: Four score in 7 years?
- 1:14:33Testecleese: Oh, fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
- 1:14:42Testecleese: Yes, whatever.
- 1:14:43Testecleese: entire… I can do the whole thing, but why bother?
- 1:14:47Ron Pascoe: We'll have to throw a few more scores in there, mate.
- 1:14:53Testecleese: Crazy.
- 1:14:54Ron Pascoe: Oh, my God.
- 1:14:54Testecleese: Lincoln was a crazy dictator.
- 1:14:57Testecleese: People don't realize this.
- 1:15:00Testecleese: What, he arrested, what was it, half, or a third, I'm sorry, a third of the, Maryland legislature without charges?
- 1:15:09Testecleese: He suspended habeas corpus. He deployed our military troops within the borders of the United States. Like, he broke every single rule that we say isn't a big deal, but he's…
- 1:15:23Testecleese: The best president ever.
- 1:15:25Ron Pascoe: And he freed the slaves, mate.
- 1:15:27Testecleese: Did he, though?
- 1:15:32Ron Pascoe: Slavery's still going on today.
- 1:15:34Testecleese: No, I believe it was the hundreds of thousands of men who gave their lives.
- 1:15:39Testecleese: That frees.
- 1:15:40Ron Pascoe: Slaves.
- 1:15:41Ron Pascoe: And women.
- 1:15:43Ron Pascoe: But he did, he organized.
- 1:15:44Testecleese: No, and women. I guarantee you!
- 1:15:48Testecleese: They were not women with muskets, unless they were defending their own homes.
- 1:15:54Ron Pascoe: They played a part, mate.
- 1:15:58Testecleese: No, the women stay at home, because they can make more babies. This is what we all know. Men go to war, they fight, they die.
- 1:16:04Brian McFadden: How are they gonna make babies without the men?
- 1:16:07Ron Pascoe: That's right.
- 1:16:08Testecleese: One man can impregnate 100 women. One woman can have one baby a year.
- 1:16:14Ron Pascoe: Better weren't no plastic turkey bases from China there at the time.
- 1:16:17Brian McFadden: Yep, buddy.
- 1:16:18Testecleese: It doesn't… it doesn't increase incubation period, though. She still needs to carry a baby to term.
- 1:16:27Testecleese: This is why men go and fight. This is why men go out and fight the wild animal.
- 1:16:35Testecleese: Women are more important.
- 1:16:37Testecleese: And this is what's driving me fucking nights? Driving me fucking nuts with what's going on with this whole fucking…
- 1:16:43Testecleese: Equality bullshit.
- 1:16:48Testecleese: You want me to treat women like I treat men? Dear God, next time you punch me in the mouth, I'm going to fucking knock you out and shatter your jaw.
- 1:16:58Testecleese: Right?
- 1:17:01Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:17:03Testecleese: You want to be treated like a man, maybe I will treat you like a man.
- 1:17:09Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, no, I get that. What wrong with you on that one?
- 1:17:12Testecleese: Chivalry's dead! You fucking killed it. And by the way, I just want to point out, there's, like, 196 rules of combat in the Chivalric code, and, like, FOUR!
- 1:17:23Testecleese: things about how to treat a lady. And I just want to point out, these women bitchin' about Chivalry being dead are not ladies, okay?
- 1:17:33Testecleese: Ladies were upper class, they were not fucking common plebeians.
- 1:17:42Testecleese: Am I wrong?
- 1:17:45Brian McFadden: I don't think so.
- 1:17:46Ron Pascoe: Oh, no, you got a point, you're on a roll, mate, you got a point there.
- 1:17:50Testecleese: Yeah, I'm just… I…
- 1:17:53Testecleese: Sorry, I was watching a whole bunch of Karen videos today, and it pissed me off!
- 1:17:57Brian McFadden: It worked.
- 1:18:00Ron Pascoe: I thought it was just too much sugar in your diet.
- 1:18:02Testecleese: Oh, dude, I actually don't eat that much sugar, I say that. I drink a lot of soda.
- 1:18:13Testecleese: At some point, these folks have to realize how fucking stupid they are. When they're saying, you need to move the sun.
- 1:18:22Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 1:18:25Testecleese: It's like… How do I even interact with you?
- 1:18:34Ron Pascoe: Oh, his son?
- 1:18:38Testecleese: No, and it was even crazier?
- 1:18:41Testecleese: I actually heard a complaint from a woman that her toilet drained the wrong way.
- 1:18:48Testecleese: And I was like, well, the only way to fix that is to go south of the equator.
- 1:18:53Ron Pascoe: New to Australia.
- 1:18:55Testecleese: He's like, I don't know what to tell you, or South America.
- 1:18:59Testecleese: I want to tell you, this is the way water drains north of the equator, the other side it goes the other way. And she said it offended her political energy, because it spun the wrong way. It was like, clockwise and counterclockwise? It's political?
- 1:19:19Testecleese: It's just… Mmm! They can vote!
- 1:19:26Testecleese: They can vote!
- 1:19:29Testecleese: Complaining the sun's in the wrong place. Saying the water Spins the wrong way!
- 1:19:37Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:19:38Testecleese: If you don't understand how life and reality works around you.
- 1:19:43Testecleese: How are you allowed to vote?
- 1:19:49Ron Pascoe: Have you ever seen those Mark Dodd studios?
- 1:19:52Testecleese: What?
- 1:19:52Ron Pascoe: So, have you seen these Mark Dice videos? Those people go out in California?
- 1:19:56Ron Pascoe: And ask them questions?
- 1:19:58Testecleese: Posh…
- 1:19:58Brian McFadden: Sit on the street.
- 1:19:59Testecleese: does.
- 1:20:00Ron Pascoe: On the street, interviews?
- 1:20:03Testecleese: I've seen a bunch.
- 1:20:03Ron Pascoe: I've seen it when they've asked these people from California who was in the Civil War?
- 1:20:08Ron Pascoe: Well, there was one guy answered England and Japan.
- 1:20:14Testecleese: Yeah, and you know what's funny? Is if someone asked me who was involved in the Civil War.
- 1:20:19Testecleese: I would actually ask questions.
- 1:20:21Testecleese: Or maybe provide several answers.
- 1:20:25Testecleese: Because let's be 100% real here. Are we gonna say the North and the South?
- 1:20:29Testecleese: Are we gonna say the Union and the Confederacy? Are we gonna say the Republicans and the Democrats?
- 1:20:36Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 1:20:37Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:20:39Testecleese: But the thing is, these people are like the Japanese, you know what I mean? It's like…
- 1:20:45Ron Pascoe: He went in Japan a while ago, I said, I… Oh, I just lost it.
- 1:20:50Testecleese: Well, this is what blows my mind, is that the average American thinks Civil War means what happens in the United States in the 1800s.
- 1:20:58Testecleese: That, that, that was a failed revolution.
- 1:21:03Testecleese: an actual, true civil war. Let's look at what's been going on in Egypt for the last frickin', like, 25 years, right?
- 1:21:11Brian McFadden: Obama fixed that!
- 1:21:14Testecleese: When you…
- 1:21:16Brian McFadden: with the Muslim Brother Hoard in charge?
- 1:21:18Testecleese: No, I'm…
- 1:21:21Testecleese: Okay, okay, you're right. You're right. You kill everyone who disagrees with you, the problem will stop, huh?
- 1:21:35Testecleese: Peppers.
- 1:21:36Testecleese: Not untrue!
- 1:21:38Brian McFadden: But…
- 1:21:39Testecleese: Civil War isn't two fucking armies lining up to fight each other, like fucking World War II or United States Civil War. It's people setting up fucking bombs and assassinating people.
- 1:21:54Testecleese: This is the difference between a civil war and a failed revolution.
- 1:22:01Testecleese: And again, Lincoln broke every rule we had to make sure that didn't happen.
- 1:22:06Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:22:10Testecleese: Alright, what's going on? We're not even in New York, are we? Where are we?
- 1:22:16Brian McFadden: New York governor has, north Carolina governor has vetoed an election overhaul that would have made him cross-check voter rolls with death records.
- 1:22:26Testecleese: So there are registered voters.
- 1:22:30Testecleese: That have died.
- 1:22:31Testecleese: Obviously, right?
- 1:22:33Brian McFadden: So they say.
- 1:22:35Testecleese: So, that's just a natural thing.
- 1:22:39Brian McFadden: Google did mine.
- 1:22:40Testecleese: We're not gonna check who died and can't vote anymore?
- 1:22:44Testecleese: Why would you do this?
- 1:22:46Brian McFadden: The main reason is because it was gonna reduce the number of early voting days.
- 1:22:52Testecleese: God, because they're dead!
- 1:22:53Brian McFadden: It's certain… and it was gonna… and it was also gonna grant the state auditor new powers to review election results in the battleground state.
- 1:23:02Testecleese: Yes, and my mother voted Republican her entire life until she died. She's been voting Democrat since.
- 1:23:08Brian McFadden: Yep, yep. The Republican lawmakers have enough votes to override the veto.
- 1:23:14Brian McFadden: So, it's probably gonna pass.
- 1:23:18Brian McFadden: That's doing a lot better than Virginia, who's now a part of the Compact Organization.
- 1:23:25Testecleese: Oh, they finally… this is the whole, we're gonna ignore the votes we got, and vote…
- 1:23:31Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 1:23:32Testecleese: So, look, we don't care what our own voters said.
- 1:23:35Brian McFadden: Nope, nope.
- 1:23:37Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:23:39Brian McFadden: Because there's a Democrat legislature in Virginia and a Democrat governor, she signed off on it this week, where, you know, when this organization, quote-unquote, has 270 electoral votes, it goes into effect.
- 1:23:54Testecleese: Did anyone explain this to you? This could happen the other way, too?
- 1:23:57Brian McFadden: I don't think they care. They don't… we've talked about this over and over again, you know, they make all these silly rules, think it's gonna benefit them, but Trump won the popular vote in the last election, so…
- 1:24:08Testecleese: Yeah, then it benefits the other side, they want to make it illegal, it's like, you guys passed it!
- 1:24:14Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:24:15Testecleese: Like, you said it wasn't fair without this. You said we were all a bunch of racist bigots without.
- 1:24:19Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:24:21Testecleese: So you passed it, and then you lost anyway.
- 1:24:24Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:24:24Testecleese: And now it's racist to have it, it's…
- 1:24:29Testecleese: Does Australia deal with this shit?
- 1:24:32Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:24:34Ron Pascoe: But it changed… We enough mic and,
- 1:24:38Ron Pascoe: This is going to sound stupid.
- 1:24:41Ron Pascoe: It's compulsory to vote now.
- 1:24:44Brian McFadden: Yeah, that is stupid.
- 1:24:45Testecleese: Yeah, that's stupid. That's stupid.
- 1:24:47Ron Pascoe: But the thing is, we've got to identify who we are when we go into the bloody electorate to vote.
- 1:24:52Testecleese: Are you allowed to…
- 1:24:53Brian McFadden: So, ID?
- 1:24:54Ron Pascoe: Any nights on a roll.
- 1:24:56Testecleese: Are you… are you allowed to cast a vote that says I'm not voting for either?
- 1:25:01Testecleese: For any of them?
- 1:25:02Ron Pascoe: You can, it's called a donkey vote, and that vote goes to the government.
- 1:25:07Brian McFadden: They can choose how to use your vote.
- 1:25:11Testecleese: What the fuck?
- 1:25:12Ron Pascoe: Thank you, buddy.
- 1:25:13Ron Pascoe: If we drop the dump.
- 1:25:14Testecleese: no say in how your government works. Whole bunch of fucking meth addicts are gonna vote for you, and the people say, I don't give a shit, because I don't know what's going on. They're gonna go to the meth addicts?
- 1:25:24Ron Pascoe: But this is the best bit. You don't realize what happens. If we don't vote, we get a fine.
- 1:25:30Ron Pascoe: If we don't pay that fine, if you've got a driver's license, that…
- 1:25:33Brian McFadden: a vote?
- 1:25:33Ron Pascoe: Nope.
- 1:25:34Ron Pascoe: That becomes disqualified. Then, on top of that, the longer you take to pay it off, if you don't pay it off, they increase your fine.
- 1:25:42Ron Pascoe: then they can eventually, like, throw you in jail if you don't vote.
- 1:25:46Brian McFadden: Virginia used to have that rule in place where if you didn't pay your fines, you could lose your… if you didn't pay, like, your child support or anything like that, they could take away your driving rights, yeah.
- 1:25:57Testecleese: But this is…
- 1:25:58Brian McFadden: But then it was a slippery slope, because if you can't get to work, you can't pay your fines, so it was like a circular effect.
- 1:26:06Testecleese: But this is just nuts. A mandatory vote just guarantees that uninformed voters are gonna vote.
- 1:26:13Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:26:14Brian McFadden: That's lovely.
- 1:26:15Ron Pascoe: Ellie?
- 1:26:16Ron Pascoe: Go in, throw a faster boat, and just piss off.
- 1:26:20Ron Pascoe: Ridiculous.
- 1:26:21Testecleese: No, I… did you have to vote on everything, or just show up?
- 1:26:26Ron Pascoe: everything, mate.
- 1:26:28Ron Pascoe: And we haven't… we've got one.
- 1:26:30Ron Pascoe: - I…
- 1:26:31Testecleese: I don't win for everything.
- 1:26:33Brian McFadden: Can you write in?
- 1:26:35Ron Pascoe: Yeah, you can do the Marlene, but you've got to have a really good reason, and it's really strict.
- 1:26:40Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:26:41Ron Pascoe: Wednesday.
- 1:26:41Testecleese: You can't just put Donald Duck?
- 1:26:44Ron Pascoe: Yeah, but the thing is, if you're in hospital.
- 1:26:47Ron Pascoe: You can do it. If you're overseas, you do a vote before you go overseas. Like, they'll ask you, they'll… before you go overseas, if you're in Australia, they'll say there's an election coming up.
- 1:26:57Ron Pascoe: So you'll have to go to an Australian Embassy to vote, otherwise you still get fined?
- 1:27:01Brian McFadden: You gotta go to the embassy to vote when you're overseas, that's insane.
- 1:27:06Testecleese: There's no absentee ballots?
- 1:27:08Ron Pascoe: Yeah, you can fill an absentee ballot, thing, but you've got to prove that you're going overseas.
- 1:27:13Ron Pascoe: Or, if you're out of town, like, you can vote early.
- 1:27:17Ron Pascoe: But that's why I normally do… I normally vote early. They say, oh, what's the reason why you're there?
- 1:27:22Brian McFadden: Vote early and vote often.
- 1:27:24Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I vote early. I just tell them I'm going to be on the piss on Saturday, because all our elections are on Saturdays.
- 1:27:33Testecleese: We usually do elections on Tuesdays here.
- 1:27:36Ron Pascoe: Now, we don't say that, because that's where most of the people are off work.
- 1:27:41Testecleese: Well, that's actually why they do it on a Tuesday, is so that,
- 1:27:45Testecleese: You can't be fired to go to vote. That's actually the law, believe it or not.
- 1:27:52Testecleese: And I don't know, they do it on Tuesdays. Brian, you know as well as I, it's Tuesday, almost every time, right?
- 1:27:58Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:28:00Brian McFadden: I just signed up to be part of the Electoral committee here in my area, so…
- 1:28:06Brian McFadden: We'll see if they accept me or not.
- 1:28:08Testecleese: Brian's gonna get arrested.
- 1:28:12Ron Pascoe: Now, we do have some set, I… everyone's either…
- 1:28:15Ron Pascoe: At footy, or at bloody whatever time, or at home on the weekend.
- 1:28:22Testecleese: You eat fried chicken?
- 1:28:25Ron Pascoe: Meat pie.
- 1:28:27Brian McFadden: Meat pie.
- 1:28:28Testecleese: Wow.
- 1:28:30Testecleese: That's not nearly as exciting.
- 1:28:33Ron Pascoe: Probably kidding.
- 1:28:34Brian McFadden: You can get fried chicken in Australia.
- 1:28:36Testecleese: Oh, I bet you can. I guarantee you.
- 1:28:39Brian McFadden: You think there's a KFC in Australia?
- 1:28:41Testecleese: I bet you, he lives in a major city, I bet you there's a KFC within 10 miles of where he lives.
- 1:28:47Ron Pascoe: It's as many McDonald's as KOCs, yeah.
- 1:28:52Testecleese: Can't get rid of it, kid!
- 1:28:54Brian McFadden: Hey!
- 1:28:56Testecleese: Capitalism spreads.
- 1:28:57Brian McFadden: Mh.
- 1:28:58Ron Pascoe: Fun fact too, boys, our troops have been, america and UK?
- 1:29:03Testecleese: B.
- 1:29:04Testecleese: Here's the thing is, if no one in Australia bought KFC, they wouldn't stay there, right?
- 1:29:09Brian McFadden: Nope, nope, -
- 1:29:11Ron Pascoe: I will be all the time.
- 1:29:13Testecleese: You, you all, all at once took a bite and went, holy shit, Kentucky can fry a chicken.
- 1:29:21Ron Pascoe: All of this type.
- 1:29:22Brian McFadden: The original recipe's gotten too greasy for me, though. I've had to switch to extra crispy.
- 1:29:27Ron Pascoe: Oh, whoa.
- 1:29:28Testecleese: Yeah, you need extra crispy. But, like, hey, not talking shit about Australia, but, like, what foods is Australia known for? Like,
- 1:29:38Brian McFadden: Degemite!
- 1:29:41Testecleese: Oh, Vegemite!
- 1:29:42Testecleese: Is that the weird chocolate?
- 1:29:45Brian McFadden: No! That's the weird spread you put on your toes.
- 1:29:54Ron Pascoe: It looks like grease oil.
- 1:29:57Testecleese: Also, it was in peanut butter!
- 1:29:59Testecleese: And you know peanut butter's.
- 1:30:00Brian McFadden: Yeah, the peanut butter tastes a hell of a lot better than Vegemite.
- 1:30:04Testecleese: Exactly!
- 1:30:06Ron Pascoe: mate, depends on your taste, Brian, you know that.
- 1:30:09Brian McFadden: Beautiful!
- 1:30:10Testecleese: But it's gross, and it's horrible for you, but it's so good.
- 1:30:17Brian McFadden: Yo.
- 1:30:19Testecleese: Alright. I've seen these European guys coming to the United States and having peanut butter for the first time. I was like, there's no way this is the first time you've had peanut butter. No way. No way, no way possible the first time you've ever had peanut butter.
- 1:30:35Ron Pascoe: No!
- 1:30:37Ron Pascoe: No, I love, actually… Yeah. Sorry.
- 1:30:41Testecleese: No, the only way you haven't had peanut butter is because you avoided it on purpose.
- 1:30:45Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:30:45Testecleese: you can get peanut butter in Australia, just like I can get Vegemite, although I'm gonna pay an extra, like, 3 bucks, because, like.
- 1:30:53Brian McFadden: I might have to order it on Amazon.
- 1:30:55Testecleese: He's like, 9 people on the planet make it.
- 1:31:01Ron Pascoe: I've got a jar unopened there, I think.
- 1:31:04Testecleese: Yeah, Pierre!
- 1:31:07Ron Pascoe: But, no, it's good. But I did notice a difference, like, when I was in America, I loved the bloody… was it Popeye's Chicken?
- 1:31:14Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 1:31:16Brian McFadden: Popeye's got some good chicken, yeah.
- 1:31:18Ron Pascoe: You've got some good stuff. Oh, I thought that was food in the cave, but yeah, over there.
- 1:31:21Brian McFadden: It is, I agree.
- 1:31:23Testecleese: what I… this is what I owe.
- 1:31:24Testecleese: from other people who came and visited, like, holy shit, I… I was told one thing, and it was not that at all. Like, everyone was friendly, they were excited to meet me because I was foreign.
- 1:31:38Testecleese: You know?
- 1:31:40Testecleese: And then you had to have Popeyes.
- 1:31:43Testecleese: You know, or, Five Guys. Oh my god, Five Guys. Let's talk about how good Five Guys is. And their Cajun fries?
- 1:31:52Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 1:31:53Testecleese: Ron, did you get to have 5 guys?
- 1:31:56Ron Pascoe: No, I think they're looking to bring, a couple of franchises out here in Australia, and Wendy's as well, too, is coming out of here now, apparently.
- 1:32:03Testecleese: Oh, shit, dude! You gotta try you a Frosty?
- 1:32:07Testecleese: And it's not my thing, but it's very common in the American South, dip your fries in your frosty.
- 1:32:15Ron Pascoe: They do it at McDonald's with it.
- 1:32:16Brian McFadden: And unlike McDonald's, their machines actually work.
- 1:32:21Brian McFadden: You're actually…
- 1:32:23Testecleese: They're not always…
- 1:32:24Brian McFadden: Cleaning it, right?
- 1:32:27Ron Pascoe: So if he happens in Australia, boys, the ice cream should you get, you know?
- 1:32:33Testecleese: Man, I miss Wendy's.
- 1:32:35Ron Pascoe: I wonder who's got the contract for that one.
- 1:32:39Testecleese: They got square burgers, too.
- 1:32:41Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:32:42Ron Pascoe: And I wanted to try White Castle when I was there, and Chick-fil-A, but I didn't get it there.
- 1:32:47Testecleese: It's trash.
- 1:32:48Ron Pascoe: I wanted to do those little sliders, but yeah, I did get a chance. Popeye's Chicken, I loved it. And the other ones I loved, too, when I was,
- 1:32:54Testecleese: Wah-wah.
- 1:32:56Ron Pascoe: Disney World.
- 1:32:58Ron Pascoe: They took…
- 1:32:59Testecleese: down to Orlando, did you?
- 1:33:01Ron Pascoe: No, not, the bueno, in the horn.
- 1:33:03Testecleese: Oh, Disneyland.
- 1:33:05Ron Pascoe: Disneyland, yeah. Mate, the turkey legs! I absolutely love to walk around Disneyland with a massive turkey legs, bigger than me head.
- 1:33:11Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:33:11Testecleese: Oh my god! No! No, dude, you missed it! You need to come to a state fair.
- 1:33:18Brian McFadden: I'm going to the county… I've been going to the county fair all week. I've been there, like… I'm on my… going again tomorrow for the third time this week.
- 1:33:24Testecleese: Thank you. You can get a turkey, like, every time, can't you?
- 1:33:27Brian McFadden: You can, yeah.
- 1:33:28Testecleese: And the Australian is like, holy shit, Turkey, right?
- 1:33:33Ron Pascoe: Oh, now we got tweaking.
- 1:33:34Ron Pascoe: Our turkey, like, we get it, but it's mainly around Christmas.
- 1:33:37Testecleese: Say they got turkeys, but they don't really have turkeys. And you know it.
- 1:33:42Brian McFadden: Everything's bigger in Australia, so I thought they'd have bigger turkeys soon.
- 1:33:46Testecleese: It's a different animal, and you know it.
- 1:33:49Ron Pascoe: And when we share our emu drumsticks.
- 1:33:54Ron Pascoe: No, I love it, Mike.
- 1:33:56Ron Pascoe: Well, loved it. I had the first experience at a diner in America.
- 1:34:00Ron Pascoe: In LA. It was awesome, mate.
- 1:34:03Testecleese: LA, man. Oh, Jesus Christ.
- 1:34:06Testecleese: Yeah, don't get me wrong, the view from LA is nice, the weather is amazing.
- 1:34:11Testecleese: But the people are fucking douche nozzles.
- 1:34:15Brian McFadden: It's gotten worse.
- 1:34:16Ron Pascoe: Right?
- 1:34:17Ron Pascoe: Yeah, a lot of them seem like a loss in that mode,
- 1:34:21Ron Pascoe: I spoke to a few locals in Hollywood Bar, one in, had a few drinks in there.
- 1:34:25Testecleese: It's because you're a local, it's because you're, foreign, I mean.
- 1:34:28Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:34:30Testecleese: Just, like, look at what happened in Boston with this Scottish. They… check this, check this shit out. The Scottish.
- 1:34:39Testecleese: Don't get me wrong, they have a reputation, but Boston!
- 1:34:43Brian McFadden: For World Cup.
- 1:34:44Testecleese: reputation, right? The Scottish drank Boston dry.
- 1:34:49Brian McFadden: I don't think they really did.
- 1:34:51Testecleese: Well, that's just because they hadn't anticipated the extra crowd.
- 1:34:54Brian McFadden: Well, they didn't want to… the Scottish didn't want to drink McUldra, so…
- 1:35:00Testecleese: Did that… they refuse to drink Michel Global Ultra?
- 1:35:02Brian McFadden: I wouldn't, I don't know, I'm just saying. I have a hard time believing that there was no beer left in all of Boston. I guarantee there's some crappy American beer that just refuse to drink.
- 1:35:13Testecleese: Well, from what I understand is, they all loved Sam Adams.
- 1:35:19Testecleese: That's, like, actually the biggest thing that's going on right now. Right now is Sam Adams is about to go global because of the World Cup.
- 1:35:27Ron Pascoe: It wasn't too bad, actually. It wasn't a bad drop.
- 1:35:31Testecleese: Well, we've been talking about Sam Adams for a couple of years now, we haven't brought him up in a while, but we brought up…
- 1:35:37Brian McFadden: It's not a microbrewery.
- 1:35:38Testecleese: They're, yeah, they're gonna lose their microbrew license, because they're international.
- 1:35:43Testecleese: And if they start freaking producing and selling to, like.
- 1:35:47Testecleese: Scotland and Australia, because people came to Boston and liked the beer.
- 1:35:54Testecleese: Like, I can get Sam Adams here in West Virginia, no problem.
- 1:35:58Brian McFadden: Untap.
- 1:35:59Testecleese: depends on where I go. I can get it at some, like, steak places, but that's, like, an hour drive.
- 1:36:06Testecleese: But the… The thing is, people don't realize, like, oh, we're still in the same country. Jesus Christ.
- 1:36:13Testecleese: The distance from where I live to where Sam Adams is brewed… is, like, friends to… Belgium.
- 1:36:25Brian McFadden: We… we've had, some… we had some influencers come over to Michigan from the UK and England.
- 1:36:32Brian McFadden: And they said, you know, they were asking for directions from people on how to get someplace in Michigan, and people would say, oh, it's just down the road a little bit. Three and a half hours later…
- 1:36:42Testecleese: and a half hours, you know? And they're like.
- 1:36:43Brian McFadden: We travel through entire countries in Europe, you know, compared to the state of Michigan, you know?
- 1:36:51Testecleese: Well, just like when you came to West Virginia, I was like, yeah, it's at this way, it's, you know, it's…
- 1:36:55Testecleese: straight shot, no big deal. And you're like, I almost ran out of gas. Yup.
- 1:37:02Brian McFadden: Yep, won't make that mistake again.
- 1:37:03Testecleese: Yeah, it's like, you have no idea how far some of these stretches are, and…
- 1:37:08Brian McFadden: Yo?
- 1:37:08Testecleese: Australia understands that better than most places, but, like, the cities…
- 1:37:12Testecleese: Are pretty much clustered on the…
- 1:37:15Testecleese: the shores, like, you see in the States, but there's no, like, inland…
- 1:37:20Testecleese: communities, for the most part, you know what I mean? Not where you're gonna drive 180 miles to the next gas station, you know?
- 1:37:29Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:37:31Ron Pascoe: Well, that's the thing, you made in Australia, we say we're going for a burgl, we're just going up the road, we'll come back 3 days later.
- 1:37:38Testecleese: You guys… You guys buy gasoline by the liter or the gallon?
- 1:37:42Brian McFadden: Later.
- 1:37:44Ron Pascoe: Play that.
- 1:37:46Testecleese: Brian.
- 1:37:48Testecleese: Do a quick calculation for me.
- 1:37:51Testecleese: I pay $3.99 a gallon currently, please.
- 1:37:55Testecleese: Ron, tell us what you pay per liter, then compare the two and see who pays less.
- 1:38:00Ron Pascoe: Well, at the moment, we're playing… what was it $2.08 for soup?
- 1:38:04Brian McFadden: I can already tell you that without the calculation.
- 1:38:07Ron Pascoe: So that's what's, that's about 5 bucks, or something like that.
- 1:38:11Brian McFadden: Americans are paying a lot less per gallon than Australians do per liter, because it's 4 liters to a gallon, almost.
- 1:38:18Testecleese: almost, because gallons, yeah.
- 1:38:22Brian McFadden: And if he's paying 2 for 4, that's $8 on our money.
- 1:38:26Testecleese: Exactly, leaders aren't courts. Exactly, they're paying nearly twice as much as we are.
- 1:38:32Brian McFadden: Yeah. Well, they have to import everything, because they don't… they're not allowed to harvest their own oil.
- 1:38:39Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, the thing is…
- 1:38:41Testecleese: That's an excellent point.
- 1:38:43Brian McFadden: They're gonna have nuclear-powered cars before we do.
- 1:38:46Ron Pascoe: We had 6 refineries here in Australia.
- 1:38:50Brian McFadden: All good.
- 1:38:50Ron Pascoe: And one just got half destroyed. Someone… Apparently there's a fire there.
- 1:38:56Ron Pascoe: Because they're trying to go green energy here in Australia, which is ridiculous. 80% of it.
- 1:39:00Testecleese: What blows my mind… what blows my mind is when these people do this shit. It's like, you lit a fucking…
- 1:39:06Testecleese: oil refinery to make a gasoline on fire. Right. What do you think that did to the environment versus the gasoline?
- 1:39:16Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 1:39:16Ron Pascoe: I thought.
- 1:39:17Brian McFadden: Well, according to the article we talked about earlier, you know, that might be better for the climate, you know?
- 1:39:24Brian McFadden: Apparently, it might make the…
- 1:39:25Testecleese: When… healthier!
- 1:39:27Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:39:27Testecleese: Ron, you missed it, we were talking about how apparently these fossil fuels burning is not just making everything greener because of carbon dioxide, but apparently we're sprinkling the specific nitrogen on the planet that makes plants grow.
- 1:39:42Ron Pascoe: But it's carbon.
- 1:39:43Testecleese: Yup. No, no, nitrogen.
- 1:39:46Testecleese: But not all nitrogen is what nitrogen, what plants need to grow.
- 1:39:52Ron Pascoe: Oh, no, you really are.
- 1:39:53Ron Pascoe: The carbon dioxide also keeps them alive, mate.
- 1:39:56Testecleese: It just… it's…
- 1:39:58Testecleese: Planet's healthier than it's ever… more life than ever recorded in history, they're telling how it's dying. It's like…
- 1:40:06Testecleese: There's more life than ever.
- 1:40:08Testecleese: I don't understand your argument.
- 1:40:11Ron Pascoe: That's right, you know what they're gonna do, mate? Keep fossil fuel cars and put more trees in. That's how you're gonna keep the environment going.
- 1:40:17Brian McFadden: Yep, yep, yep.
- 1:40:19Ron Pascoe: Jeez.
- 1:40:19Testecleese: Hey, man, you wanna drive an electric car? That's okay, I got no problem with that, because let's be real.
- 1:40:25Testecleese: People don't understand.
- 1:40:27Brian McFadden: How you gonna charge your car?
- 1:40:29Brian McFadden: With solar power and wind power?
- 1:40:32Testecleese: Yeah, that's not even the point I'm trying to make here. But yes.
- 1:40:36Testecleese: You're right, you're probably pulling it into a cold point.
- 1:40:39Testecleese: But electric cars… Electric motors are very different than internal combustion engines. They work differently.
- 1:40:48Testecleese: You have 100% torque available at 1 RPM.
- 1:40:54Testecleese: Versus a, gasoline or a diesel car that does this shit.
- 1:40:59Testecleese: It's at 5,252.
- 1:41:04Testecleese: RPM is where you get the peak torque and horsepower output, gasoline or diesel.
- 1:41:12Ron Pascoe: I look at it differently. I look at it from a simple man's point of view.
- 1:41:15Ron Pascoe: I'd rather spend 2 minutes at a Bowser putting petrol in my car.
- 1:41:20Ron Pascoe: And sitting there for 45 minutes trying to charge up a car.
- 1:41:23Testecleese: Oh, I mean, if you could plug your car in at night…
- 1:41:27Testecleese: When you come home from work.
- 1:41:29Ron Pascoe: And your car breaks down or something. You're in the middle of bloody morning, it's 2 degrees.
- 1:41:34Ron Pascoe: I'd rather have the fuel running.
- 1:41:36Testecleese: Minus 2 degrees. So here's the difference between, metric and imperial.
- 1:41:43Testecleese: Minus 2 degrees to you is 1 below freezing, right?
- 1:41:49Testecleese: Yeah, that's 33 degrees below freezing for us.
- 1:41:54Ron Pascoe: Oh, right, okay.
- 1:41:56Ron Pascoe: The point I'm trying to say is, mate, I'd rather have a fuel car running, keeping the hooter going, than bloody electric.
- 1:42:06Testecleese: See, these Australians… it's funny, because he's making a valid point, but he doesn't understand the greater aspect.
- 1:42:14Testecleese: The Australian doesn't understand cold weather.
- 1:42:18Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:42:19Testecleese: No, like… Negative 1 Fahrenheit might actually make your electric car not start.
- 1:42:27Brian McFadden: Good luck in West Virginia with an electric car.
- 1:42:30Ron Pascoe: 100%.
- 1:42:32Testecleese: Why? Well, I mean, because it gets cold?
- 1:42:36Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:42:37Testecleese: Yeah, but… I wouldn't have an electric pickup truck.
- 1:42:42Brian McFadden: That's the way to go, man.
- 1:42:44Testecleese: We use the pickup truck in the winter, because it's got four-wheel drive.
- 1:42:48Testecleese: You know?
- 1:42:50Testecleese: Shit, shit happens, get out of the way, you're stuck.
- 1:42:55Testecleese: I got nothing against electric cars. Actually, I think they're fucking amazing.
- 1:42:59Testecleese: But it's…
- 1:43:00Brian McFadden: Especially the Tulsa truck.
- 1:43:02Testecleese: Well, it's a different animal. People don't.
- 1:43:04Brian McFadden: It's not even a truck. I don't call it a truck. It don't look like a truck, it don't act like a truck.
- 1:43:09Testecleese: You mean the Cybertruck?
- 1:43:11Brian McFadden: Yes.
- 1:43:13Testecleese: Yeah, well… okay, I agree why you say it's not a truck, but…
- 1:43:20Testecleese: It's a giant battery, that's the big deal. It has… no, no, no, no, for real.
- 1:43:25Testecleese: It is a giant battery that'll… Power your house for days.
- 1:43:32Testecleese: That's the big thing, is that that entire back space is battery storage.
- 1:43:38Testecleese: And… I can't imagine spending that much money on a fucking giant, heavy, stainless steel vehicle.
- 1:43:46Testecleese: But… you can just drive your battery up and help, you know what I mean?
- 1:43:52Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:43:54Testecleese: Anyway… We're moving on.
- 1:43:58Testecleese: Oh.
- 1:43:59Brian McFadden: We are? We're moving on? Alright! It's about time.
- 1:44:03Testecleese: as a Missouri judge, stop… stop the redistricting map?
- 1:44:09Brian McFadden: She… no, they agreed to the GOP map.
- 1:44:13Brian McFadden: For a Trump win. So, it's gonna be a Republican-in-favored map, which most of Missouri is Trump-favored, except for St. Louis, of course.
- 1:44:25Testecleese: Well, the city, right?
- 1:44:27Brian McFadden: Yeah, no.
- 1:44:31Brian McFadden: Oh, and then I… We got this…
- 1:44:34Testecleese: said that, that Trump's policy was in place, and someone tried to stop it, and she put a halt on it. My mistake.
- 1:44:41Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:43Brian McFadden: And then apparently there's… there's some… the… the… one of the senators, it's idiot senators in Michigan, state… the United States senators.
- 1:44:52Brian McFadden: is, demanding a public pledge from Trump and the Department of War that military troops won't be sent to the polls.
- 1:45:02Testecleese: the polls.
- 1:45:03Brian McFadden: To the polls. To protect the polls.
- 1:45:06Ron Pascoe: I told the National Guard.
- 1:45:09Testecleese: why… why would… the, the, like, the North and South Pole?
- 1:45:13Brian McFadden: No, to, like, election polls!
- 1:45:16Testecleese: Oh, bowling, but yes, okay, okay, okay.
- 1:45:18Brian McFadden: It's stupid! It's never gonna happen!
- 1:45:21Testecleese: Well… mmm… I don't know. Let's be 100% real here.
- 1:45:26Brian McFadden: I could see National Guard going to the polling place.
- 1:45:29Testecleese: action.
- 1:45:30Brian McFadden: I'm not…
- 1:45:30Testecleese: Exactly, exactly.
- 1:45:31Brian McFadden: Not actual military.
- 1:45:32Testecleese: guard.
- 1:45:33Brian McFadden: first.
- 1:45:33Testecleese: That's still military. Oh, okay, paramilitary.
- 1:45:38Brian McFadden: They're state-run.
- 1:45:39Testecleese: Oh, God.
- 1:45:40Brian McFadden: state-run unless Trump… Nationalizes them for whatever reason.
- 1:45:45Testecleese: Which…
- 1:45:46Brian McFadden: They're covered… they're governed by the governors of the states, not the president.
- 1:45:51Testecleese: Yes, it takes something real for the president to say, National Guard, go do this.
- 1:45:56Brian McFadden: Yeah, like an Afghanistan war that lasted 20 years.
- 1:46:00Testecleese: Yes, and I get a good laugh because New York made a big deal when Trump was talking about bringing the National Guard into the subway.
- 1:46:07Brian McFadden: Right, and then they did it out anyway.
- 1:46:08Testecleese: New York did it on their own anyway, and fixed the problem.
- 1:46:12Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:46:13Testecleese: And it's like, so, Trump was right.
- 1:46:16Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:46:16Testecleese: Yeah, but we did it ourselves. Yes, but you waited for him to say…
- 1:46:21Testecleese: I'll do it if you won't.
- 1:46:23Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:46:24Testecleese: You know?
- 1:46:26Testecleese: And… Brian, do you remember, what was it, a year, maybe two?
- 1:46:31Testecleese: Every other week or so, we would talk about someone being thrown in front of a fucking…
- 1:46:35Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, it was like suicide by subway in New York.
- 1:46:40Testecleese: Not even suicide, people being thrown in.
- 1:46:41Brian McFadden: They were doing it on purpose. I mean, people were doing it, like, for a game. It was a sport. It was probably a TikTok channel.
- 1:46:47Testecleese: In front of the bus, in front of the train.
- 1:46:50Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:46:50Testecleese: Do you understand what's gonna happen?
- 1:46:52Brian McFadden: You're gonna die!
- 1:46:54Brian McFadden: People are gonna die, and they don't care, because they'd say that, well, I'm never gonna get caught by pushing somebody, you know? It was a thrill.
- 1:47:03Testecleese: What kind of monster are you?
- 1:47:06Brian McFadden: A very bad monster.
- 1:47:10Testecleese: I mean, don't… I've had some terrible thoughts in my life.
- 1:47:14Brian McFadden: But did you act on them?
- 1:47:15Testecleese: No, I didn't throw someone in front of a fucking train!
- 1:47:19Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:47:22Testecleese: But, dude, I carry a gun.
- 1:47:25Testecleese: Guess how many people I've shot?
- 1:47:28Brian McFadden: None.
- 1:47:28Testecleese: Zero!
- 1:47:30Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 1:47:33Testecleese: I'm looking for a fight!
- 1:47:34Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:47:38Testecleese: These assholes are throwing people in front trains. Fucking…
- 1:47:41Testecleese: New York finally does what Trump said he was gonna do if they won't do it, which I… I still agree he didn't have the authority to do, but that's not the point.
- 1:47:51Testecleese: So they did it, and they fixed the problem.
- 1:47:53Brian McFadden: So… Hmm.
- 1:47:56Testecleese: How's that?
- 1:47:57Testecleese: Australia doesn't require their, prime minister to be Australian, do they?
- 1:48:04Ron Pascoe: Michael's that?
- 1:48:06Ron Pascoe: Australia.
- 1:48:07Testecleese: Does your Prime Minister have to be Australian?
- 1:48:11Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:48:12Ron Pascoe: Just as soon as…
- 1:48:13Testecleese: And they're not born there.
- 1:48:15Ron Pascoe: Born here.
- 1:48:17Testecleese: No shit!
- 1:48:18Brian McFadden: That's good.
- 1:48:20Testecleese: No, good for you, I was about to say, if Trump leaves office, maybe she go be fucking president of Australia.
- 1:48:26Testecleese: This shit, too.
- 1:48:28Ron Pascoe: I want you to be, mate.
- 1:48:30Ron Pascoe: Oh, if he comes, naturalized, too. No, I think it can be naturalized as well.
- 1:48:34Testecleese: You said… you said born there.
- 1:48:35Ron Pascoe: button.
- 1:48:36Ron Pascoe: Yeah, but, well, I just remember… but you've got to spend so many years here, you'll be naturalised.
- 1:48:42Brian McFadden: You can't do that in the U.S. You have to be born here. Now, you could be born via Chinese tourism, go back to China for 18 years, and come back and get elected president when you're an appropriate age, but…
- 1:48:56Brian McFadden: You know?
- 1:48:58Testecleese: What blows my mind is that people were bringing that up, saying, that's perfectly okay.
- 1:49:03Testecleese: But it's saying Marco Rubio shouldn't be able to run… be president, because he was born in Canada to United States diplomats.
- 1:49:12Testecleese: It was Rubio, right?
- 1:49:13Testecleese: Not today.
- 1:49:14Brian McFadden: I believe so, yeah, but, I mean, he is… he was born a U.S. citizen, because… whether he was born in the… I mean, it's like military babies being born overseas. If they're born on military bases overseas, while they're stationed there, they're still American citizens. It doesn't work.
- 1:49:30Brian McFadden: A lot of times, those people will get dual citizenship in the process, but…
- 1:49:34Testecleese: Well, on basis, American sovereign soil.
- 1:49:38Brian McFadden: Yeah. Well, I mean, embassy is sovereign soil.
- 1:49:43Ron Pascoe: It's still like, yeah, it's right, if you're traveling overseas, like, you're American parents, and you say you're in Australia.
- 1:49:49Ron Pascoe: And you, yeah, you patrol berth here.
- 1:49:51Ron Pascoe: this child should still be American. You know, it's not Australian, it's not going to stay here without its parents.
- 1:49:56Testecleese: Shouldn't be Australian, too?
- 1:49:58Ron Pascoe: No, that's… you've got to… I believe that you've got to be a resident of the country.
- 1:50:02Testecleese: As of right now.
- 1:50:04Testecleese: It could be Australian.
- 1:50:07Ron Pascoe: No, probably not. I just bought here, but as it is now.
- 1:50:11Testecleese: Probably, you know.
- 1:50:11Ron Pascoe: Boy.
- 1:50:12Ron Pascoe: I get what you're saying.
- 1:50:14Ron Pascoe: But all the person…
- 1:50:16Testecleese: Anger babies and birth tourism. Can I fly my pregnant wife to Australia to pop out a baby and make that kid a citizen?
- 1:50:24Brian McFadden: No.
- 1:50:25Testecleese: I don't know, I honestly…
- 1:50:27Brian McFadden: We're one of the few countries in the world that has birthright citizenship.
- 1:50:31Testecleese: I believe Canada's the only other one.
- 1:50:34Ron Pascoe: I reckon it's wrong, mate. Like, if… if my parents had me, say.
- 1:50:39Ron Pascoe: New Zealand. I don't want to be a Kobe.
- 1:50:42Ron Pascoe: Yo, man.
- 1:50:43Ron Pascoe: My parents are Australian, my parents reside in Australia. I'm Australian, as far as I'm concerned.
- 1:50:51Ron Pascoe: But birthright citizenship, look, this is why I don't agree with SCOTUS. SCOTUS, they should never have made that stick.
- 1:51:01Ron Pascoe: Okay, you're muted, mate. You're muted.
- 1:51:08Brian McFadden: Coffin.
- 1:51:08Testecleese: really… you have to really read… yeah, I was coughing my nuts after that rip of my bike.
- 1:51:13Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:51:14Testecleese: You have to really look at what decision from SCOTUS said.
- 1:51:20Testecleese: Because apparently.
- 1:51:21Brian McFadden: It was always a long shot to get to Supreme Court, but I agree with this.
- 1:51:25Testecleese: Apparently, all that Trump had to do was change the wording.
- 1:51:29Testecleese: And make it work.
- 1:51:31Brian McFadden: And is he working on that right now?
- 1:51:32Testecleese: Well, actually, I believe he's already filed, hasn't he?
- 1:51:35Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:51:37Testecleese: All you gotta do is change the wording.
- 1:51:40Testecleese: Something about… something about the jurisdiction thereof.
- 1:51:44Testecleese: Or something stupid, because everyone's like, well, if you're here, you're a jurisdiction, then why the fuck do we extradite?
- 1:51:50Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 1:51:52Brian McFadden: Because you're not citizens.
- 1:51:55Testecleese: Well, no, no, no, not deport, extradite.
- 1:51:58Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:51:58Testecleese: Deport is a good argument, but I'm thinking, if you're under the jurisdiction of the United States, why are we gonna send someone to Australia for Copening crime in Australia, unless they are also under the jurisdiction of Australia?
- 1:52:13Ron Pascoe: Roll it?
- 1:52:15Brian McFadden: You're not allowed to…
- 1:52:16Testecleese: We have an extradition treaty with Australia, don't we? You guys say we want this man for a crime, we're gonna send him right over to you, aren't we?
- 1:52:23Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 1:52:24Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:52:25Testecleese: Back and forth, you guys do the same thing for us.
- 1:52:29Ron Pascoe: It's 100% true.
- 1:52:29Testecleese: Even your own citizens.
- 1:52:32Ron Pascoe: Yep.
- 1:52:33Brian McFadden: Korea's probably been an ally of the U.S. longer than United… than England has.
- 1:52:39Testecleese: Oh, yeah, no, Australia was excited when they saw the fu- when they heard the U.S. fuckin' kicked England's ass.
- 1:52:47Testecleese: Oh, sure, fuck yeah!
- 1:52:49Testecleese: Yeah, get it! Get some!
- 1:52:54Ron Pascoe: Right? Yeah, we went… So,
- 1:52:57Brian McFadden: Why can't people do laundry in the room?
- 1:52:59Testecleese: No one!
- 1:53:00Brian McFadden: Why can't you do laundry in the river?
- 1:53:07Testecleese: The, the main thing?
- 1:53:09Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:53:11Brian McFadden: Didn't they use Dawn detergent to do their laundry with? Because I heard that's the… that's the cure-all for all the… the climate stuff, you know? Dawn is the way to go.
- 1:53:21Testecleese: I left my balls over when I read this. Some Nigerian illegal immigrant was doing his laundry in the river, and he had to walk across, like, a state park to do it.
- 1:53:36Testecleese: And he was beating his clothes against the rocks.
- 1:53:39Brian McFadden: Well, he was doing it the right way and everything, huh?
- 1:53:41Testecleese: At first, I was like, this guy's actually… I have no issue with this, honestly, right?
- 1:53:47Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:53:47Testecleese: It turns out he was using detergent.
- 1:53:50Testecleese: And there's a little, like, torrent offset where the water kind of swirled and whatever.
- 1:53:57Testecleese: And, like, what's the big deal? I was like, well, I mean, the soap kills fish, it pulls the lining off of the skin that protects them.
- 1:54:05Testecleese: And they're explaining all this stuff.
- 1:54:08Testecleese: It was not a big deal in Africa.
- 1:54:10Testecleese: There are no fish in your rivers.
- 1:54:15Testecleese: Well, that's not our fault, it's like, apparently it is!
- 1:54:24Testecleese: But yeah, all of Maine is pissed off now that they've imported all these migrants, and the migrants do things differently.
- 1:54:31Brian McFadden: Yeah, that happens. This is the big warning, isn't it? London did it, the Netherlands did it, you know, and look what… what's going on with Denmark, you know?
- 1:54:43Testecleese: Shit! What was it, Ireland, when that guy, that fucking nutjob tried to cut that dude's head off?
- 1:54:50Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 1:54:52Testecleese: Basically carved his eyes out of his head.
- 1:54:57Testecleese: Yep. What the hell, dude?
- 1:55:00Ron Pascoe: So he's right, cut his nose off.
- 1:55:02Testecleese: And the new IRA, the new IRA is getting fired back up, and just a heads up, new IRA is not new.
- 1:55:11Testecleese: They show up in, like, the 90s, when the actual IRA started to die down.
- 1:55:18Testecleese: The new IRA is actually trying to bring back Ireland.
- 1:55:23Testecleese: And I think we're gonna see some crazy terrorism.
- 1:55:27Ron Pascoe: It's…
- 1:55:30Testecleese: Maybe even Civil War.
- 1:55:33Testecleese: In Ireland.
- 1:55:33Ron Pascoe: what's going on? Most interesting thing about this, Let's bring the Ulster Army.
- 1:55:41Ron Pascoe: and the IRA together. They're the ones who fought against each other. The Ulster…
- 1:55:46Ron Pascoe: They're, they follow the English.
- 1:55:49Ron Pascoe: They want to be part of the UK.
- 1:55:52Ron Pascoe: Whereas the IRA, they're the Catholics, they want to keep island to Ireland.
- 1:55:57Ron Pascoe: And it's bringing the two warring bodies, factions, together.
- 1:56:01Ron Pascoe: For all these immigrants and that.
- 1:56:04Testecleese: Yeah. Yeah, no, yeah. We used to kill each other, but now we agree on a common enemy, so let's kill them instead, right?
- 1:56:12Ron Pascoe: You know what's gonna happen, mate? They will watch.
- 1:56:14Testecleese: No, dude, that's exactly what I said. Okay, depends on how you wanna word it, but I said terrorism because it's gonna be against the government.
- 1:56:22Testecleese: And it's intended to scare people. But we're gonna see murders, we're gonna see bombings.
- 1:56:29Brian McFadden: Right.
- 1:56:29Testecleese: We're gonna see all the shit that we don't wanna see, and it's gonna be a civil war.
- 1:56:35Testecleese: Attempted revolution.
- 1:56:38Testecleese: And I'm telling you, everyone, check here, we told you first!
- 1:56:44Testecleese: Ireland is about to erupt into war.
- 1:56:48Ron Pascoe: It is, mate, it is. And they made this stand. I don't know if you've seen a couple of… oh, it was probably a month and a half ago, what, they got this…
- 1:56:56Ron Pascoe: Every year, they've got this thing, they stack up pellets, and they make a massive tower out of it.
- 1:57:02Testecleese: Yeah, they burn it.
- 1:57:04Ron Pascoe: And they burn it, right? It's a tradition, it's been going on for years, centuries. Oh, nice.
- 1:57:08Testecleese: Yeah, and they melted the concrete this last time. But the thing is, I left my balls off that, because it's such a big deal. Like, Jesus Christ, go look at Burning Man.
- 1:57:18Ron Pascoe: But you know what they did with it this time? They put a mosque.
- 1:57:21Ron Pascoe: Model of a movie's taught.
- 1:57:24Testecleese: You know what's funny is I'm pretty sure last time you were on, we talked about this.
- 1:57:30Ron Pascoe: They're making a steam. They… all the politicians.
- 1:57:36Testecleese: the Irish aren't gonna put up with this, and it oughta be very interesting to see what happens.
- 1:57:43Testecleese: I just don't understand why China's for the Chinese, Indonesia's for the Indonesians, Nigeria's for the Nigerians, but the United States is for everyone. And I know this is Ireland in this case, but it's the same idea.
- 1:57:57Ron Pascoe: Oh, no. And the biggest thing is, like, He's actually…
- 1:58:01Testecleese: worlds.
- 1:58:03Ron Pascoe: The countries that are coming in, these terrorist countries coming in, are using your own laws against you, like they're doing in Australia.
- 1:58:10Testecleese: Yes.
- 1:58:10Ron Pascoe: They turn the people away. They're using their own laws.
- 1:58:15Testecleese: How do you know loss so well?
- 1:58:18Ron Pascoe: Oh, you've got it, mate. Like, it's quite a life, dude. Just like people in a little commerce, you've got to know, mate, what's going on.
- 1:58:24Testecleese: No, but they're… they're showing up knowing what benefits. And I was like, motherfucker, I'm an American citizen.
- 1:58:31Testecleese: I've been homeless. I never got benefits from the government. I've even applied once, because I was supposed to be homeless, and then I was homeless.
- 1:58:41Testecleese: I got ZERO help.
- 1:58:43Testecleese: These assholes are coming from other fucking countries.
- 1:58:47Brian McFadden: Get all the hell.
- 1:58:48Testecleese: the… getting the benefits I was turned down for.
- 1:58:52Testecleese: These benefits are supposed to help me get back on my feet more quickly.
- 1:58:58Testecleese: You know?
- 1:58:59Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 1:59:00Ron Pascoe: It's treacherous scumbag.
- 1:59:02Brian McFadden: I make too much money in retirement pay to even qualify for food stamps.
- 1:59:07Ron Pascoe: Beh.
- 1:59:08Testecleese: There you go.
- 1:59:09Testecleese: That's what got me.
- 1:59:10Ron Pascoe: Okay.
- 1:59:11Testecleese: Disability pay was what got me.
- 1:59:14Testecleese: Like, oh, you and your wife's disability pays, like, that doesn't pay the rent, though, let alone…
- 1:59:19Brian McFadden: Disability shouldn't count towards your food stamps.
- 1:59:25Testecleese: No.
- 1:59:25Ron Pascoe: Oh, he didn't want.
- 1:59:26Testecleese: Well, now my disability alone will pay my mortgage, because I got a deal!
- 1:59:32Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 1:59:34Ron Pascoe: Well, I don't know what you guys do, you have, like, your 401Ks, but here in Australia, we call it superannuation funds.
- 1:59:39Ron Pascoe: And we put away 12% of our pay each week, it automatically goes into our super.
- 1:59:44Testecleese: Every American gets to choose how much they put into their retirement fund.
- 1:59:49Ron Pascoe: Well, we can add that.
- 1:59:50Testecleese: People… people make bad decisions.
- 1:59:53Brian McFadden: I'm relying on Social Security.
- 1:59:55Testecleese: That's a stupid decision.
- 1:59:58Testecleese: No, there's no children, Brian. There's no one to pay into Social Security.
- 2:00:04Brian McFadden: I'll be dead before the children are in that camp.
- 2:00:06Testecleese: No, no, no, because no one's turning 18, Brian. No one's going into the workforce. That means there's no one to pay in this upside-down pyramid scheme.
- 2:00:16Brian McFadden: Your kids will pay.
- 2:00:19Testecleese: No, you'll be dead by the time.
- 2:00:20Brian McFadden: You're paying into fucking social.
- 2:00:22Testecleese: into fighting.
- 2:00:29Testecleese: That's what I'm saying!
- 2:00:30Testecleese: You… You don't have anything put aside?
- 2:00:35Brian McFadden: I got retirement pay, I don't need anything put aside. I got disability and retirement.
- 2:00:39Testecleese: Oh, okay. No, no, you got a pension, that's…
- 2:00:41Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:00:42Testecleese: That… no, that is different. You go to pension…
- 2:00:45Testecleese: That's as good as a 401K, let's be real.
- 2:00:48Brian McFadden: I'm setting up a 401K with my substitute teaching job, so…
- 2:00:52Testecleese: Jesus Christ, you're setting a 401K now? Okay, AOC.
- 2:00:55Brian McFadden: It's free.
- 2:00:56Testecleese: These are exit 36, huh?
- 2:00:58Brian McFadden: Nobody wants my sperm.
- 2:01:02Brian McFadden: No!
- 2:01:03Testecleese: Okay, that's not where I was going, everybody's saying.
- 2:01:05Brian McFadden: Maybe I could sell it!
- 2:01:08Testecleese: Move!
- 2:01:09Brian McFadden: And…
- 2:01:10Testecleese: Why?
- 2:01:11Brian McFadden: Make money, put it in my 401K!
- 2:01:14Ron Pascoe: Don't leave this going to Brian, there's a marker for everything, mate.
- 2:01:17Brian McFadden: Exactly, exactly, you just gotta find the right buyer.
- 2:01:21Testecleese: Yeah, you're probably gonna do better putting it in a jar and sending it to a porn star who wants a bigger fucking face shot.
- 2:01:27Brian McFadden: You know what I mean?
- 2:01:29Testecleese: going on from my side of the camera?
- 2:01:31Brian McFadden: Here's a go.
- 2:01:33Ron Pascoe: you've got a big quarter of it, you might be able to sell it to somebody trying to get into America.
- 2:01:38Brian McFadden: There you…
- 2:01:38Testecleese: Yep, I am.
- 2:01:40Ron Pascoe: Good.
- 2:01:40Brian McFadden: American babies. I'm spelling American sperm. Oh, shit, oh!
- 2:01:45Testecleese: Bullshit! Brian has dumped more America's sperm across this planet. Okay?
- 2:01:54Testecleese: That anyone I know…
- 2:01:57Ron Pascoe: We can say cold feet,
- 2:01:58Testecleese: Yo, he didn't even discriminate against the ladyboys in Thailand, okay?
- 2:02:02Brian McFadden: Oh, yes, I did.
- 2:02:09Testecleese: And I was like, oh my god.
- 2:02:10Brian McFadden: So, apparently the woke Seattle mayor is not happy with her popularity right now.
- 2:02:17Testecleese: Oh, Seattle.
- 2:02:19Brian McFadden: Because she can't find a single resident that wants to defend her during a segment.
- 2:02:25Brian McFadden: When she was trying to talk about the roaring plot to boot her from office.
- 2:02:30Testecleese: Well, yeah, they're trying to recall her. There's a petition in place,
- 2:02:35Testecleese: She's the one who refuses to send police out where illegal immigrants live, even though that's where people are getting shot and killed.
- 2:02:42Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:02:43Testecleese: Citizens are being shot and killed, and she refused.
- 2:02:47Brian McFadden: They don't care.
- 2:02:47Testecleese: have a police show.
- 2:02:49Brian McFadden: Because she don't want police, she wants… she was a key proponent of defund the police.
- 2:02:54Testecleese: Exactly, and get abolished prisons, and it's like…
- 2:02:58Testecleese: All the residents are now pissed off, the citizens are pissed off.
- 2:03:02Testecleese: This is no law.
- 2:03:04Brian McFadden: How many years did it take them to get pissed off?
- 2:03:07Testecleese: Oh, after she got into office? Not long.
- 2:03:10Brian McFadden: Yeah, but…
- 2:03:11Testecleese: put it…
- 2:03:11Brian McFadden: They had…
- 2:03:12Testecleese: I actually…
- 2:03:12Brian McFadden: important.
- 2:03:12Testecleese: Granted her plan.
- 2:03:14Brian McFadden: But there was crappy mayors in Seattle long before this person came along.
- 2:03:19Testecleese: Crappy Mayo's, yes, that's how we ended up with the Chaz and the Chop.
- 2:03:26Testecleese: But she actually implemented this shit, and it ruined everyone's life.
- 2:03:30Testecleese: And they're all butthurt, and I'm like, you literally voted for exactly this.
- 2:03:36Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:03:37Testecleese: This is what you said you wanted.
- 2:03:39Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:03:40Testecleese: Yeah, but they're trafficking children and shooting people. Yep, yep, you were told this would happen if you just let literally anyone move in without anyone checking on them. People are gonna do bad things to make money.
- 2:03:53Testecleese: Yeah, well, you're, you're a racist!
- 2:03:57Testecleese: Okay, and now it's happening.
- 2:04:01Testecleese: And they're all butthurt.
- 2:04:03Testecleese: And so… I'm tempted to say, no, you're not allowed to recall your fucking mayor.
- 2:04:10Testecleese: You voted for it, fuck all you.
- 2:04:14Testecleese: I don't know, what do you think the odds are, Seattle pulls the heads out of their asses?
- 2:04:20Brian McFadden: Slim to none.
- 2:04:22Testecleese: So what's the point of…
- 2:04:26Testecleese: What's the point of giving a shit?
- 2:04:28Brian McFadden: I mean, even if they recalled her, who's gonna take her place? Her assistant mayor, who's probably a whole not… she picked the vice mayor, he's probably not a whole lot better. He, she.
- 2:04:40Testecleese: Or do they have a new… I don't know, maybe they have a new election, I don't know. Each state has their own rules, but…
- 2:04:45Ron Pascoe: put a regenerational cycle mode, that's…
- 2:04:48Ron Pascoe: It's so much in Australia. Europe is just gonna vote like Labor, no matter what, because that's the way their mum and dad voted. They don't give a shit.
- 2:04:56Brian McFadden: I don't vote like my mom and dad voted.
- 2:04:59Ron Pascoe: Oh, no, no, I'm not saying everything, I'm just saying it's just the generational shift, mate.
- 2:05:03Ron Pascoe: Like, you know, in America, people have waved just blue.
- 2:05:07Ron Pascoe: But whoever's blue.
- 2:05:08Testecleese: Blue, no matter who.
- 2:05:10Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 2:05:11Brian McFadden: Well, the blue people were voting… they were union friendly, you know? If you were in a union, you had to vote blue.
- 2:05:17Testecleese: Yeah, you know what, that's something we talked about heavily in the last two elections, is the unions are abandoning the Democrat Party.
- 2:05:26Brian McFadden: Not in Michigan.
- 2:05:29Testecleese: Maybe not in Michigan, but that's…
- 2:05:31Testecleese: A lot of these unions are like, no, you guys are not… You're…
- 2:05:35Brian McFadden: Well, the union members are abandoning that, but the union leadership is still dumping tons of money into the Democrat ticket.
- 2:05:46Testecleese: maybe many of them, and I can't list them all, but I know the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW,
- 2:05:56Testecleese: That's your electrical… electrician union.
- 2:06:01Testecleese: Actors said, we're done with this shit, you guys just keep demanding more money from us, and then you put in policies that make us charge our customers more money, and they don't want to do business with us, it's not helping, you know?
- 2:06:16Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:06:19Testecleese: And maybe that was only the,
- 2:06:22Testecleese: International Brotherhood of Electric Organs, and I don't know, are they actually international, or is that just what they call themselves? Does Australia have an IBEW in their.
- 2:06:32Brian McFadden: Highly unlikely.
- 2:06:34Ron Pascoe: No, we've got, we've got another, we've got different unions now.
- 2:06:36Ron Pascoe: Lord, is I…
- 2:06:37Brian McFadden: Maybe… you know how they're international? They're probably in Canada, too.
- 2:06:43Testecleese: Probably. In Mexico.
- 2:06:45Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:06:46Brian McFadden: NATO NAFTA countries.
- 2:06:48Testecleese: NAFTA.
- 2:06:51Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:06:52Testecleese: heard NAFTA in a while.
- 2:06:54Brian McFadden: Well… You know what I mean?
- 2:06:57Testecleese: American Free Trade Agreement, right?
- 2:07:00Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:07:01Brian McFadden: Clinton put it in place.
- 2:07:03Testecleese: Yeah, well, you know what? It was good work. And, I know I'm skipping way ahead on this one, but…
- 2:07:10Testecleese: Canada has been violating that for decades, with the ridiculous tariffs on American goods. Trump finally put something in place, and Canada got all butthurt.
- 2:07:22Testecleese: Are they elected… Kearney, because of it, And then folded anyway.
- 2:07:29Brian McFadden: But didn't the Supreme Court come out and say that Trump can't put these tariffs in place anymore, and everybody's expecting their tariff refunds coming?
- 2:07:39Testecleese: I mean… I like that. Maybe, who knows, Canada folded anyway today or yesterday.
- 2:07:47Testecleese: Well, Canada had something like a 300% tariff on American dairy.
- 2:07:52Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, they don't want our dairy products.
- 2:07:55Testecleese: And the argument that was brought up when this whole thing went down, Canada folded, a lot of people were saying, I was like, this isn't fair at all, we can't compete.
- 2:08:04Testecleese: And someone's like, what do you mean? He's like, Wisconsin! The state of Wisconsin!
- 2:08:10Testecleese: puts out more… milk…
- 2:08:13Brian McFadden: The whole state, the whole country.
- 2:08:15Testecleese: The entire nation of Canada.
- 2:08:19Ron Pascoe: Agreed.
- 2:08:20Brian McFadden: I can roll out.
- 2:08:21Ron Pascoe: We burned your beef products there for a while, because of Monsanto.
- 2:08:25Ron Pascoe: You're going through that.
- 2:08:27Brian McFadden: Well, you should.
- 2:08:29Brian McFadden: I know sucks.
- 2:08:30Testecleese: Monsanto is actually not the issue you're dealing with, it's, USDA.
- 2:08:37Testecleese: Monsanto is a different thing altogether.
- 2:08:40Ron Pascoe: No, no, no, no, we… we… we stopped it.
- 2:08:44Ron Pascoe: It's only because of Trump, we've reopened it again now, Trump.
- 2:08:47Ron Pascoe: But because Monsanto and all that shit they got in with their grains, like, even with their corn.
- 2:08:52Ron Pascoe: United Planet.
- 2:08:54Testecleese: Yeah, I know.
- 2:08:54Ron Pascoe: across cultivated.
- 2:08:56Ron Pascoe: Once you say crawler.
- 2:08:57Testecleese: private farm, right?
- 2:09:00Brian McFadden: A little bit of corn.
- 2:09:01Testecleese: Grown corn. And your neighbor's growing corn for Monsanto, right?
- 2:09:07Testecleese: The wind blows, your crops get fertilized.
- 2:09:11Testecleese: Monsanto just… demands you pay them for the seeds.
- 2:09:15Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:09:16Testecleese: And it's like, this is, this is fucking nature.
- 2:09:19Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:09:21Testecleese: And I didn't ask you to genetically modify my crop. Maybe I should sue you instead, you know?
- 2:09:30Testecleese: Actually, that's a good argument. Why hasn't anyone done that yet?
- 2:09:36Ron Pascoe: Don't know, mate.
- 2:09:38Testecleese: You brought in GMOs, you ruined my organic crop.
- 2:09:43Testecleese: Now, now you are liable.
- 2:09:45Testecleese: Let's see this… let's see this argument turned around.
- 2:09:48Brian McFadden: Because you're gonna have to get a huge…
- 2:09:50Brian McFadden: farm conglomerate to go up against the huge Monsanto.
- 2:09:55Testecleese: No, you don't. All you need to do is literally use their argument against them, and they'll at least drop their case, right?
- 2:10:03Ron Pascoe: It has to be class action.
- 2:10:05Testecleese: It wouldn't have to be. Monsanto fucked up my farm, and they're gonna sue me because they fucked up my firm, and I turn around and say, I'm suing you because you fucked up my firm.
- 2:10:16Testecleese: up the case.
- 2:10:17Ron Pascoe: you wouldn't have the money to take Monsanto on.
- 2:10:20Testecleese: I wouldn't have to! It's… it… the argument is… isn't… it's not even that I need a billion dollars to argue. It's… it's an actual… this argument is better. A judge matters. That's a whole thing in a courtroom that people don't seem to understand.
- 2:10:35Testecleese: Doesn't matter how much you spend, you could spend a trillion dollars in a courtroom, but if you're wrong, you're wrong.
- 2:10:41Testecleese: I viewed…
- 2:10:42Ron Pascoe: Listen.
- 2:10:42Testecleese: that I… I owe you money because the wind blew, then I can say that you owe me money because the wind blew.
- 2:10:50Ron Pascoe: Yeah, no, I get that, mate. Everyone knows a court case is according to us.
- 2:10:54Ron Pascoe: You don't know if you're going to win or lose. You don't know the magistrate or the judge on the date. But if you've got a class action, you've got more chance of winning with a class action.
- 2:11:02Ron Pascoe: I just need as well.
- 2:11:03Testecleese: were people involved?
- 2:11:05Ron Pascoe: It does, it does mean to be a payout, too.
- 2:11:08Testecleese: Oh, no, it… okay, a class action with…
- 2:11:11Testecleese: 10,000 farmers might actually stop Monsanto from doing what they're doing.
- 2:11:17Testecleese: But I'm just saying, as an individual farmer, all you gotta do is make the same argument they're making.
- 2:11:25Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, you'd better… you'd have to make a better argument.
- 2:11:28Testecleese: No, same argument!
- 2:11:30Testecleese: I… The wind blew, you went and contaminated my crop.
- 2:11:36Testecleese: Right?
- 2:11:37Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
- 2:11:38Testecleese: But they're saying is the wind blew and I contaminated your crop, therefore you owe me. It's like, no, no, no.
- 2:11:45Testecleese: I'm just saying, a judge will look at me like, this is fucking ridiculous, you know?
- 2:11:50Ron Pascoe: Then that comes down an act of gauze, mate with the wind.
- 2:11:53Testecleese: Well, that's what… that's… yeah. Well, then either I'm allowed to make the… I'm allowed to grow this corn with the Monsanto fertilization, or Monsanto owes me to replant an entire new crop and pay for a season off.
- 2:12:09Testecleese: I'm… My… The argument seems obvious to me.
- 2:12:14Testecleese: They… they ruined your crop.
- 2:12:18Testecleese: While they're trying to steal you for the seeds that are coming because they ruined your crop.
- 2:12:24Testecleese: That's an easy enough argument in a courtroom.
- 2:12:27Testecleese: is a one farmer. Class action is different. That's a whole group of people that are trying to stop something from happening.
- 2:12:36Testecleese: But if I'm John and I grow corn… That's my argument.
- 2:12:41Testecleese: You know?
- 2:12:41Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah.
- 2:12:43Ron Pascoe: Well, it just shows the evil of the world, mate.
- 2:12:45Ron Pascoe: It's like you were talking about earlier on, like, the World Economic Forum and that.
- 2:12:50Ron Pascoe: That's the way they're getting their payload.
- 2:12:53Testecleese: Yeah, because they're making decisions that none of us get a say in.
- 2:12:58Testecleese: Shit. Jesus Christ, man.
- 2:13:01Testecleese: They, they told everyone for how long…
- 2:13:07Testecleese: Don't fucking have babies, fucking abort your babies, yada…
- 2:13:11Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:13:11Testecleese: There's too many people in this country, too many people on the planet, and then they go, holy shit, there's not enough people, so they import 10 million.
- 2:13:22Testecleese: And he's like, what the fuck?
- 2:13:24Testecleese: just this Lindsey Clancy thing in Duxbury, Massachusetts, right where I grew up, bordered where I grew up. I swear to God, I've been by this person's house. I… must have happened in my life, just going about where I lived, you know?
- 2:13:42Testecleese: She put fucking exercise bands around her children's throats.
- 2:13:48Testecleese: And let them fight for their lives until they died.
- 2:13:53Testecleese: Then tried to kill herself, but only managed to paralyze herself from the fucking hips down.
- 2:14:01Testecleese: People are taking her side. She actually pled guilty!
- 2:14:06Testecleese: In a courtroom!
- 2:14:09Testecleese: And they're saying, she's not guilty. What the fuck?
- 2:14:15Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:14:16Testecleese: The argument is, oh, you know, we… all the drugs we put these women on… you're right, stop drugging women!
- 2:14:24Testecleese: White liberal women in the United States say they're the happiest people.
- 2:14:29Testecleese: All of them, almost 100%, claim they're happy. A third of them, I'm not shitting you, look this up, a third of them are on SSRIs. They're on mood stabilizers.
- 2:14:42Testecleese: They're not happy. They're fucking undead zombies!
- 2:14:49Testecleese: And then they murder their children, and we're supposed
- 2:14:53Testecleese: Oh, oh my god, you know, it could have been any of us.
- 2:14:56Testecleese: No!
- 2:14:57Testecleese: No, if I came home, saw my wife, all but dead on…
- 2:15:03Testecleese: dead, when she jumped out of the window after cutting her wrist. Yes, I would have run over and go, holy shit, what happened? Then when I found my children dead, I would have walked out and stomped on her neck and made sure she died.
- 2:15:17Testecleese: Okay, I'm the asshole. Fine, I don't give a shit.
- 2:15:22Testecleese: You don't kill your own fucking children.
- 2:15:26Testecleese: And you know what? It's the pharmacist issue. Problem. You're right.
- 2:15:32Testecleese: You're right. We should stop giving women these drugs. This is fucking ridiculous. But you chose to take the fucking drugs. You know what?
- 2:15:40Testecleese: People were saying she only needed, like, 2 days away from her kids, she would have been okay. Yeah, you know what? The drunk driver only needed to pull over for fucking 10 minutes, and he wouldn't have killed the family of 5. But you know what? He fucking didn't! And he killed people!
- 2:15:56Testecleese: I'm sorry, you need to be responsible for your actions.
- 2:16:03Ron Pascoe: 100%.
- 2:16:05Testecleese: I know that was a crazy rant, but I just cannot believe people are saying that she's not guilty.
- 2:16:13Testecleese: Right next to where I grew up, of course, of course, it was a fucking…
- 2:16:18Testecleese: Affluent, white, er, suburban, liberal area, right?
- 2:16:23Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:16:25Testecleese: And she's murdering her children. And people were saying that it was obviously the husband, because of the zodiac.
- 2:16:33Testecleese: Are you… are you fucking kidding me?
- 2:16:36Testecleese: We're gonna bring in zodiology into fucking evidence in a courtroom?
- 2:16:43Testecleese: By the way, she admitted she sent her husband out to make sure she had time to murder her children.
- 2:16:49Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:16:51Testecleese: Unfortunately for us, Massachusetts does not execute people.
- 2:16:55Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:16:56Testecleese: Brian, we talked about this extensively last time, about all the laws about this in Massachusetts, didn't we, when the Boston bombing happened?
- 2:17:04Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's why they wanted them prosecuted federally, but it was convenient for them.
- 2:17:08Testecleese: Yep, because they could allow the federal government to execute this asshole instead of Massachusetts doing it, because they don't have the fucking balls to do it. Right.
- 2:17:18Testecleese: No, if you…
- 2:17:19Brian McFadden: She got rid of their death penalty, too, so…
- 2:17:22Testecleese: Yeah, well, then you shouldn't be allowed to send it to the federal government for,
- 2:17:25Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:17:26Testecleese: sentence.
- 2:17:27Testecleese: If you don't agree with the death penalty, you should not be allowed to stand up for a death sentence, because they deserve it. Well then, you should do it yourself. Fuck it, if you want… no. No, no, no, no.
- 2:17:38Testecleese: There's blood on your hands, too.
- 2:17:42Brian McFadden: I'm pretty sure that the next article's already been tried in San Francisco, where they tried to legalize shoplifting.
- 2:17:50Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 2:17:51Testecleese: Yeah, well, up to a thousand bucks.
- 2:17:54Brian McFadden: It was 600, I believe.
- 2:17:56Brian McFadden: Any theft up to $600 was not gonna be, like, punished at all. They didn't even prosecute against it. Now, this person wants to…
- 2:18:07Testecleese: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
- 2:18:09Testecleese: I did a good read on this one.
- 2:18:12Testecleese: Just wanted to make sure. She didn't say they shouldn't be prosecuted or arrested.
- 2:18:19Brian McFadden: No, it's the legalized.
- 2:18:20Testecleese: No, not even legalized, that was a term used by a reporter.
- 2:18:25Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 2:18:26Testecleese: She was saying that… You shouldn't see jail time for stealing toothpaste.
- 2:18:33Testecleese: First offense is actually what you brought up.
- 2:18:37Testecleese: And I just… I just want to bring up that… ask literally any police chief
- 2:18:43Testecleese: Or a sheriff across the country.
- 2:18:45Testecleese: Who has ever gone to prison?
- 2:18:48Brian McFadden: Nobody.
- 2:18:48Testecleese: Toothpaste for the.
- 2:18:49Brian McFadden: Nobody.
- 2:18:50Testecleese: time.
- 2:18:51Brian McFadden: Nobody.
- 2:18:52Brian McFadden: Nova.
- 2:18:53Testecleese: Anyway, go ahead and…
- 2:18:54Brian McFadden: Space is a gateway drug.
- 2:18:56Brian McFadden: Pace is a gateway drug.
- 2:18:58Brian McFadden: You know, eventually, they're gonna move on from toothpaste and start stealing all things a whole lot more value.
- 2:19:13Brian McFadden: And we got this, NYPD ex-prosecutor slamming the New York, Lawmaker over broken windows policing.
- 2:19:30Brian McFadden: Yeah, because this is all part of the shoplifting story, too, you know, because there was a biological need to steal
- 2:19:38Brian McFadden: So, they shouldn't, they shouldn't, face any… Claims, you know?
- 2:19:50Brian McFadden: Crime and poverty is crime and poverty, so, I mean…
- 2:19:54Brian McFadden: Just because it's toothpaste doesn't mean, you know… and because toothpaste is a gateway drug, is what I was saying, you know, that eventually it's gonna be a lot more than toothpaste that they're stealing.
- 2:20:08Testecleese: Well, if you get away with toothpaste, why not move up to the next thing?
- 2:20:12Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:20:13Testecleese: If there's no punishment, Why would you stop doing it?
- 2:20:19Brian McFadden: You won't.
- 2:20:20Brian McFadden: Definitely will.
- 2:20:21Testecleese: That's like… that's like if… let's just go full-on nature wild. If you're collecting berries, and nothing ever happens, and you collect berries, you're gonna continue to collect berries, right?
- 2:20:31Brian McFadden: Yeah, until the bear shows up collecting berries, too.
- 2:20:34Testecleese: Yeah, and then you wander too far, and a bear goes, those are my berries. You're gonna stop trying to collect berries there, aren't you?
- 2:20:42Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
- 2:20:44Testecleese: And this is something I think a lot of people don't understand. I was trying to bring up earlier this whole Karen thing. They don't understand how nature works.
- 2:20:51Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:20:53Testecleese: Like, they wanted people to move the sun.
- 2:20:57Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:20:58Testecleese: It's like…
- 2:20:59Testecleese: How privileged are you? Like, you wanna talk about white privilege? You think I can move the fucking sun?
- 2:21:07Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:21:09Testecleese: I think, once again, like I mentioned earlier on the show, Brian, if I could control the sun.
- 2:21:15Testecleese: I will control this planet, no problem.
- 2:21:19Testecleese: No problem, I could decide where the sun was. I could throw it into the… I could destroy the planet with the sun if I decided to, if I could control the sun, you know what I mean?
- 2:21:28Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:21:30Testecleese: Gosh.
- 2:21:31Testecleese: People don't understand basic… reality. Basic physics.
- 2:21:38Testecleese: Even beyond the whole transgender thing, People don't understand.
- 2:21:44Testecleese: basic gravity sometimes, it seems, you know what I mean?
- 2:21:50Testecleese: Anyway, move us on, I'm sorry, I…
- 2:21:54Testecleese: I had just the right amount of drinks before you guys started to be pissed off! That and the Karen videos, these… oh…
- 2:22:02Brian McFadden: Well, we got New Yorkers that are sobbing as the maniac-wielding butcher's knife is shot by cops.
- 2:22:10Testecleese: Yeah, what, 3 people went to the hospital?
- 2:22:12Brian McFadden: Five.
- 2:22:14Testecleese: Five.
- 2:22:15Testecleese: When this guy was cutting people with a butcher's knife. Yeah. He got shot dead by the cops when he charged the cops with a butcher knife.
- 2:22:22Brian McFadden: Yeah, probably.
- 2:22:24Testecleese: And they're all…
- 2:22:25Brian McFadden: Not a good idea.
- 2:22:25Testecleese: got shot. I was like, what would you want to happen?
- 2:22:28Brian McFadden: More people going to the hospital.
- 2:22:31Testecleese: Well, for real, though, like… I want to ask these people, it's like, what would you rather happen?
- 2:22:38Testecleese: Just… let him get Zeer to run around?
- 2:22:43Testecleese: Agent And you could say, taser, pepper spray.
- 2:22:48Testecleese: But, like, that's not necessarily gonna stop someone who's fucking nuts. We all know this, we've seen it, there's tons of videos.
- 2:22:55Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:22:57Testecleese: And when it comes to someone trying to kill me.
- 2:23:03Testecleese: I'm not… it's coming at me with lethal force, how's that?
- 2:23:07Brian McFadden: Exactly.
- 2:23:08Testecleese: I am not relying on less than lethal force. I am going straight to lethal force.
- 2:23:13Testecleese: Wouldn't you, Brian?
- 2:23:16Testecleese: Dude comes charging at you, yelling, I'm gonna kill you with a knife at your house. You would pick up your shotgun and shoot him, wouldn't you?
- 2:23:23Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:23:24Testecleese: Yes! And you wouldn't think twice about it!
- 2:23:27Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 2:23:27Ron Pascoe: I'd wake up in the morning, mate, wouldn't feel guilty, I'd get a good night's sleep.
- 2:23:32Testecleese: Pardon?
- 2:23:33Ron Pascoe: I said, I'd get a good night's sleep, mate, afterwards.
- 2:23:37Testecleese: He says this, but he's not allowed to own a gun.
- 2:23:40Ron Pascoe: Oh, we are.
- 2:23:42Testecleese: Oh, oh, okay, oh, go.
- 2:23:43Brian McFadden: How many guns you got in your house?
- 2:23:44Testecleese: Oh, this'll be fun! This'll be fun!
- 2:23:49Ron Pascoe: We're lit out.
- 2:23:50Testecleese: Today, start the process to buy and own a gun.
- 2:23:54Ron Pascoe: Funnyity.
- 2:23:55Testecleese: Yeah, he goes!
- 2:23:56Brian McFadden: Oh my gosh.
- 2:23:57Testecleese: Do you know what I gotta do to buy a gun tomorrow?
- 2:24:01Brian McFadden: Show up and… show up?
- 2:24:03Testecleese: I show up and say, I'd like to buy this, thank you.
- 2:24:07Ron Pascoe: Well, you've got, like, we've got restrictions, like, it's hard to explain. You guys in America, you've got your Second Amendment.
- 2:24:14Ron Pascoe: We haven't got a constitution such as you guys have got.
- 2:24:17Testecleese: No, you're supposed to allow the government to overrun you, there's nothing you're allowed to do to stop it.
- 2:24:21Ron Pascoe: Huh, whoa.
- 2:24:22Ron Pascoe: Do you… have you heard what happened from that Bondo incident?
- 2:24:25Ron Pascoe: Were those terrorists got the guns?
- 2:24:27Testecleese: I heard there was a whole… and actually, the funny thing is, I heard people were actually calling it a Second Amendment movement, which I laughed at, because that means nothing in Australia, but everyone knows what it means, you know what I mean?
- 2:24:41Ron Pascoe: Oh, mate, look, don't worry, you guys got the greatest thing in the world, the Constitution. That is the greatest piece of paper in the world.
- 2:24:47Testecleese: You guys could adopt it?
- 2:24:50Ron Pascoe: We can't. We've got to go through all this politics to get it done. But the thing is, what I'm trying to say, have you heard what's happening in Australia right now?
- 2:24:57Testecleese: They're trying to bring back gun rights, I know that.
- 2:25:00Ron Pascoe: No, no, no. There's a buyback now. The government, after the Bonsai incident, where innocent people got killed and shot.
- 2:25:09Ron Pascoe: The government now attacking innocent people who own guns, and putting on a national buyback scheme.
- 2:25:16Ron Pascoe: So they're buying guns off all the good people who don't commit crimes.
- 2:25:19Brian McFadden: Right, of course.
- 2:25:20Testecleese: So the…
- 2:25:22Testecleese: The classic… the classic cliche in the United States is if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.
- 2:25:30Ron Pascoe: That's fantastic.
- 2:25:31Testecleese: Literally exactly what's happening in Australia right now.
- 2:25:34Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:25:35Ron Pascoe: Yeah, you guys got the greatest amendment, the greatest thing in the world, that constitute.
- 2:25:40Testecleese: At least they're doing a buyback and allowing these people to turn over the weapons versus showing up and taking them by force and arresting people.
- 2:25:48Ron Pascoe: That's the next step, Phase.
- 2:25:51Testecleese: No, no, no, trust me, I know. We've had states try this buyback thing, and try to enforce this, and the federal government got involved every single time.
- 2:26:01Ron Pascoe: Well, the one part.
- 2:26:02Testecleese: That's nuts! No, you would think if some asshole went nuts with his kid and started shooting up a fucking tourist beach, you would think you'd want more armed people, right?
- 2:26:12Ron Pascoe: Well, that's what people are starting to say in Australia. We want our gun rights back.
- 2:26:16Testecleese: That's what I was saying, is there's a movement in Australia right now to try to get their gun rights back.
- 2:26:20Testecleese: So, okay.
- 2:26:21Testecleese: Maybe I just heard the other side of the argument, how's that?
- 2:26:24Ron Pascoe: Yeah, no, you did, mate. Like, you're on the right path, what you're saying, but there's a party here gaining more popularity now than the government in, like, in power. It's called One Nation. And what they're basically saying…
- 2:26:35Testecleese: ago. It wasn't even that long ago you guys were allowed to own guns, was it?
- 2:26:39Ron Pascoe: Yeah, we used to go, it's like going to Kmart, we could go to Kmart, buy guns there.
- 2:26:43Testecleese: Yeah, it was like, it was like the United States Wild West style. You could get guns just as easily as I could. It wasn't that long ago, like, what, what, the 90s, maybe?
- 2:26:54Ron Pascoe: Yeah, 70s and 80s, mate.
- 2:26:57Testecleese: 80s.
- 2:26:59Ron Pascoe: We… we… we could walk into a gun shop. We used to have two gun stores in my suburb that I grew up in.
- 2:27:06Ron Pascoe: Those two, two hunting stores.
- 2:27:08Ron Pascoe: But now they got wiped out with the changes and that since Port Arthur. But the point is what I'm trying to say, we've got a political movement going on in Australia now.
- 2:27:16Ron Pascoe: to try and get our rights back, and this party called One Nation, which I support.
- 2:27:21Ron Pascoe: But, they're hitting your gums.
- 2:27:24Testecleese: very Aboriginal.
- 2:27:26Ron Pascoe: No, no, no, One Nation's all about One Nation. It's all about…
- 2:27:30Testecleese: No, I'm not talking Charleston, it sounds like something that an Aborigine-y group would have as a name, and you know it.
- 2:27:36Testecleese: Or First Nation, how's that?
- 2:27:38Ron Pascoe: Well, it's interesting to say Donald Trump here to go to. You know the Aboriginals, they've actually got different countries within Australia. Aboriginal countries.
- 2:27:46Testecleese: Oh!
- 2:27:47Testecleese: They have their own territories, and Australia gives it to them.
- 2:27:50Testecleese: No, no, that's cool! Just like, we allow the natives here with their reservations, and I say, allow, that sounds so terrible.
- 2:27:59Testecleese: But they have the reservations. They can do whatever the fuck they want with it. They have never chosen to make countries within them.
- 2:28:06Testecleese: But they… Could.
- 2:28:09Testecleese: You know? Yeah.
- 2:28:11Ron Pascoe: The Emory?
- 2:28:12Testecleese: He's like, we have so much fucking area. Let's admit it, most of Australia is uninhabited, right?
- 2:28:19Ron Pascoe: Unless you have original mics.
- 2:28:21Ron Pascoe: Well, no, what you're doing.
- 2:28:23Testecleese: Yeah. Jeez, it's just crazy to me, like…
- 2:28:27Testecleese: There's so many people, so many more people in the United States, and it's a comparable-sized land. The United States is bigger.
- 2:28:35Testecleese: In terms of, land mass.
- 2:28:38Testecleese: But the comparable, and it's just…
- 2:28:42Testecleese: What, like, 200 million more people?
- 2:28:47Testecleese: There's nothing not on the coast of Australia, it's crazy, you know?
- 2:28:52Ron Pascoe: cable.
- 2:28:55Testecleese: Huh?
- 2:28:55Ron Pascoe: But the thing, right? 300 million more than us.
- 2:28:58Testecleese: Oh, you guys got, like, 30 million people?
- 2:29:01Ron Pascoe: Yeah, just… we're almost at $30 billion.
- 2:29:04Testecleese: Okay, I thought you guys had at least 100 million, I'm sorry!
- 2:29:09Ron Pascoe: That's Indonesia, mate, you've got 123.
- 2:29:15Ron Pascoe: 200 million woozies sitting above us, mate.
- 2:29:20Testecleese: Yeah, we're, right about a third billion right now.
- 2:29:25Testecleese: Gee, that's.
- 2:29:26Ron Pascoe: That's count.
- 2:29:30Ron Pascoe: That's comfortable for me.
- 2:29:32Testecleese: Maybe they look at China.
- 2:29:35Testecleese: in India.
- 2:29:37Testecleese: When they got 2 billion people each?
- 2:29:41Testecleese: China's… I swear China's lying. I swear, China killed off a piece of the population during COVID.
- 2:29:49Ron Pascoe: Oh, I'm like, dude.
- 2:29:50Ron Pascoe: How many new marks he talking in that kill?
- 2:29:54Testecleese: They will.
- 2:29:54Ron Pascoe: You would've…
- 2:29:55Testecleese: into their houses, dude.
- 2:29:58Ron Pascoe: You look at Stalin, Stalin bloodied 20 million in the war, with his own people.
- 2:30:03Testecleese: Damn. Stout there.
- 2:30:06Testecleese: Stalin, fucking kidding me. Let's look at, Mao Zedong. Let's look at,
- 2:30:13Testecleese: Hey, it's funny, everyone points at Stalin.
- 2:30:17Ron Pascoe: Oh crap.
- 2:30:17Testecleese: read.ai Dong or Pol Pot.
- 2:30:19Testecleese: You know?
- 2:30:21Ron Pascoe: All the great liberal leaders of the world.
- 2:30:24Testecleese: Socialist and communist!
- 2:30:27Ron Pascoe: Liberals might…
- 2:30:27Testecleese: I want to make sure everyone gets the same, which means literally everyone starves.
- 2:30:33Ron Pascoe: What are you telling me the difference between as a liberal and a bloody… As socialists these days.
- 2:30:39Ron Pascoe: There's no difference whatsoever now.
- 2:30:42Testecleese: Actually, there is, because they're starting to split apart back again.
- 2:30:45Testecleese: here in the States, anyway.
- 2:30:47Testecleese: Because, the socialism is not working.
- 2:30:54Testecleese: And,
- 2:30:55Testecleese: they're losing a lot of major, elections here in the States, and I'm hoping it shows the rest of the world this shit don't work, because we've tried it several times throughout the world.
- 2:31:07Testecleese: These assholes think that this is literally unlimited money.
- 2:31:11Testecleese: Just tax the wealthy.
- 2:31:13Testecleese: Tax their wealth.
- 2:31:15Brian McFadden: Yeah, that'll work.
- 2:31:16Testecleese: What does tax the wealth mean, Brian?
- 2:31:19Brian McFadden: They moved to a different state.
- 2:31:22Testecleese: Okay, let's say it's nationwide. Tax their wealth. What your net.
- 2:31:26Brian McFadden: That's a good question. That's… that's…
- 2:31:30Brian McFadden: Network is one thing. People, if they're taxing income, well, a lot of the wealthy people, you know, they don't get actual paychecks, like the, you know.
- 2:31:42Brian McFadden: people like you and me, you know, they don't get a W-2, they… they're making money off of,
- 2:31:48Brian McFadden: inheritances, and from investments, and things like that, so…
- 2:31:53Testecleese: How's this, Brian? Check it out, I moved up .1. I'm… I'm worth $2.4 million.
- 2:32:03Testecleese: I do not have $2.4 million, Brian.
- 2:32:08Brian McFadden: You better have it. You're gonna need it, you're gonna get taxed like the rich.
- 2:32:13Testecleese: Yeah, no, I own, like, Machinery, and vehicles, and land, and houses.
- 2:32:20Testecleese: Right. You know what I mean?
- 2:32:22Testecleese: I don't have… I don't have $2.3 million, it's just what I've accrued in my life. And they're saying, you…
- 2:32:31Testecleese: They're suggesting that I should pay a portion of everything I've earned in my life.
- 2:32:36Brian McFadden: Oh.
- 2:32:37Testecleese: But that's not fair, because it's not a… I don't have it in cash.
- 2:32:41Testecleese: Right. I would literally have to sell something.
- 2:32:45Brian McFadden: Well, that's the problem with a lot of the rich people, you know? It's like, they're gonna have to sell something to pay these stupid taxes that people wanted to pay.
- 2:32:53Testecleese: It's worse, it's gonna be the businesses they own.
- 2:33:01Ron Pascoe: It's like what they tried to do with Donald Trump.
- 2:33:03Testecleese: And people are gonna lose their jobs, which means less taxes are paid!
- 2:33:08Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:33:10Ron Pascoe: That's what they did, Tisha James tried to do with Donald Trump.
- 2:33:12Ron Pascoe: They can pay such a high bond.
- 2:33:15Ron Pascoe: So United States hasn't got any cash ready.
- 2:33:18Ron Pascoe: He's all asset rich.
- 2:33:20Testecleese: Whoa, oh, okay. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.
- 2:33:25Testecleese: I'm willing to entertain a lot of Trump arguments, but don't tell me Trump doesn't have cash.
- 2:33:31Testecleese: He is known for tipping someone walking into a building a $100 bill with a handshake.
- 2:33:38Testecleese: I'm not…
- 2:33:39Ron Pascoe: I hate that.
- 2:33:39Testecleese: Famous for it.
- 2:33:41Ron Pascoe: I know that, I know, he's looked after a lot of families now, too. Like, what I'm trying to say is, they wanted the money out.
- 2:33:47Testecleese: A billion dollars in cash, but he's got cash.
- 2:33:50Ron Pascoe: Yeah, he's asset rich, and he's got cash.
- 2:33:53Testecleese: He's gone.
- 2:33:54Testecleese: Billions in cash! How's that?
- 2:33:57Ron Pascoe: Money that they put on him for a bond, you can't just walk into a bank and say, give it to him.
- 2:34:03Testecleese: But even so, even if he could…
- 2:34:06Testecleese: Walk into a bank and say, cash out my account. It's not gonna be Trump's $5 billion worth, because he owns how many buildings? He buys landscapes.
- 2:34:18Ron Pascoe: golf course, resorts.
- 2:34:21Ron Pascoe: Casino.
- 2:34:22Testecleese: Can't just get cash.
- 2:34:24Testecleese: For a piece of property you own, you have to sell it.
- 2:34:27Ron Pascoe: That's right. And that's what they try to do to him.
- 2:34:30Testecleese: That's what I'm saying, is if they're trying to implement this, this… these stupid wealth tax will affect even me.
- 2:34:38Testecleese: And…
- 2:34:38Ron Pascoe: Oh, y'all.
- 2:34:39Testecleese: Should've come to it, I could pay my bills.
- 2:34:46Testecleese: But, month to month, I pay my bills, and I leave myself, like, 80 bucks for, like, 180 bucks for, like, beer and weed.
- 2:34:58Testecleese: then I'm allowed to buy weed.
- 2:35:01Testecleese: Essentially. No, no, I have a license, because it's medical.
- 2:35:06Testecleese: But that's just… that's what I put aside for this, you know what I mean?
- 2:35:15Testecleese: Should've…
- 2:35:21Testecleese: The problem is my income is X.
- 2:35:24Testecleese: And my net worth is Y.
- 2:35:27Testecleese: You're trying to tax wise.
- 2:35:30Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:35:31Ron Pascoe: That's funny.
- 2:35:33Testecleese: So now I had to sell my excavator to pay my tax on my excavator?
- 2:35:38Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:35:42Testecleese: That how am I gonna get work done to pay taxes? You know?
- 2:35:46Ron Pascoe: I said, I'd get a big loan.
- 2:35:50Testecleese: Oh, get a big loan, oh, wow.
- 2:35:56Testecleese: Get a big loan.
- 2:35:59Testecleese: 16%.
- 2:36:05Testecleese: Oh my god, I bought one new car once, I'll never do it again.
- 2:36:12Testecleese: Brian, what are we talking about again?
- 2:36:13Brian McFadden: I don't know. I don't even know where you wanna go. I know.
- 2:36:17Testecleese: I don't even know either. We were talking about New York,
- 2:36:20Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:36:21Testecleese: Hold up.
- 2:36:23Testecleese: Brian, let's be real, Brian.
- 2:36:26Testecleese: Do we give a shit about New York? Are we gonna have to fall and… just let it fall in disrepair and just laugh after the fact?
- 2:36:34Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 2:36:36Brian McFadden: Alright, let's talk about it. Like I said, he was just down NBA, WNBA.
- 2:36:40Testecleese: Yeah, let's just stop and talk about New York altogether, because let's be real, we all saw it coming. This is all shit.
- 2:36:47Brian McFadden: voted for.
- 2:36:48Testecleese: Three of us said was gonna happen, right?
- 2:36:52Testecleese: Well, the groceries are actually costing more, rent is up with rent freezes.
- 2:36:57Brian McFadden: Now they've come out and said.
- 2:36:58Testecleese: They're food.
- 2:37:00Brian McFadden: Private companies are gonna get reimbursed subsidies, too, because of the government grocery stores, so…
- 2:37:06Testecleese: Yeah, be…
- 2:37:06Brian McFadden: What's the point of it? I mean, what's the point?
- 2:37:09Testecleese: Exactly, you reduce prices for essential items, but you're gonna subsidize the private businesses for the loss of business, which just means that all you did was
- 2:37:19Testecleese: Make groceries cost less for anyone who doesn't pay taxes, and cost more for anyone who does.
- 2:37:27Testecleese: That's right.
- 2:37:28Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:37:30Testecleese: I think that's the best way we can put it, is you are reducing the cost for people who don't pay taxes, you say, that's the poor. It's also the people here illegally.
- 2:37:41Testecleese: You're a sanctuary city.
- 2:37:43Testecleese: And the very wealthy that are paying for this…
- 2:37:47Testecleese: Are paying more for groceries, maybe they'll leave.
- 2:37:51Brian McFadden: But I think they're gonna have a harder time
- 2:37:54Brian McFadden: Justifying subsidizing the… the private companies.
- 2:38:00Brian McFadden: Even harder than they had for setting up the stupid government grocery store, so…
- 2:38:05Testecleese: It's gonna cost way more, because there's gonna be fraud on that side, too.
- 2:38:09Brian McFadden: No, fraud, fraud, fraud.
- 2:38:10Testecleese: There's gonna be a whole bunch of people
- 2:38:12Testecleese: Setting up fake businesses to collect, the subsidy, right?
- 2:38:17Brian McFadden: That's never gonna happen.
- 2:38:19Testecleese: It's not a real thing. Hold on, these would be Republicans, though, so it must be real, right?
- 2:38:26Testecleese: Question is, Brian… How do we blame the Jews?
- 2:38:31Brian McFadden: That's a good question.
- 2:38:33Testecleese: It's always Israel's fault, right?
- 2:38:36Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:38:37Testecleese: Ask Australia! Australia, what's going on down there?
- 2:38:40Brian McFadden: Blame the Jews.
- 2:38:42Testecleese: Isn't it always the Jews' fault?
- 2:38:46Testecleese: Nope, he's gone. Alright, I was hoping for a funny comeback, but…
- 2:38:51Brian McFadden: Hi, it's up.
- 2:38:51Testecleese: Funny, funny quip.
- 2:38:54Brian McFadden: So, WNBA, who cares?
- 2:38:56Testecleese: Oh my god.
- 2:38:58Testecleese: For real, again, again.
- 2:39:00Testecleese: Do we care?
- 2:39:02Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 2:39:03Testecleese: Like, I'm excited to watch some fucking 6'6", 280-pound dudes…
- 2:39:09Brian McFadden: Are you actually gonna watch it?
- 2:39:11Testecleese: Oh, no, I will watch it, and I will place bets. Are you kidding me?
- 2:39:15Brian McFadden: Okay.
- 2:39:19Brian McFadden: Foreign military.
- 2:39:21Testecleese: Huh?
- 2:39:22Brian McFadden: Next category, foreign.
- 2:39:23Testecleese: Whoa, what is going on with WNBA?
- 2:39:26Brian McFadden: You said you didn't care!
- 2:39:28Testecleese: I know, I know, but… They are intentionally putting themselves in the new spotlight.
- 2:39:35Brian McFadden: Oh, well…
- 2:39:35Testecleese: quit there.
- 2:39:36Brian McFadden: I'm offended at some subredded.
- 2:39:37Testecleese: DM.
- 2:39:38Brian McFadden: There's a WNBA fan subreddit that's banning posters using Sophie Cunningman's name after she's in defense of women's sports.
- 2:39:48Testecleese: But, they're trying to stop men from joining the women's…
- 2:39:53Brian McFadden: But are they really? Because the WNBA has been pretty silent about this whole concept, so…
- 2:39:59Testecleese: Are these guys gonna play next year?
- 2:40:03Brian McFadden: Well, let's see if they make it through the draft.
- 2:40:05Testecleese: What do you mean?
- 2:40:07Testecleese: No, no, let's be real. Look at their numbers compared to women's numbers, right?
- 2:40:13Brian McFadden: To see if anybody drafts them, because that may be…
- 2:40:17Testecleese: Whoa!
- 2:40:17Brian McFadden: Discrimination. Yes, exactly.
- 2:40:20Testecleese: discrimination lawsuit.
- 2:40:22Brian McFadden: Yep, bring it. I guarantee that. I know what you're saying.
- 2:40:27Testecleese: They have to make a decision. They can't do this teeter-tur.
- 2:40:32Brian McFadden: And that's why the men announced themselves for grad, because they wanted somebody in the WNBA to actually grow a pair
- 2:40:39Brian McFadden: Falls, and make a decision.
- 2:40:43Brian McFadden: You can't win nearly it forever!
- 2:40:46Testecleese: And a lot of people are like, oh, oh, and it's cancer freedom.
- 2:40:50Testecleese: He played, 4 seasons, or, or, or, or Royce White. He played one season, blew out his knee, ha ha ha. He's like, he's still gonna crush these women, you know that, right?
- 2:41:04Testecleese: No, he's a foot taller than them!
- 2:41:08Brian McFadden: Yeah, he doesn't have to jump the slam dunk.
- 2:41:11Testecleese: It'll be…
- 2:41:12Brian McFadden: People don't realize that the women's basketball.
- 2:41:14Testecleese: I was just… he CAN slam dunk!
- 2:41:17Brian McFadden: The women's baskets are lower than the men's baskets.
- 2:41:21Testecleese: And it's bigger, too!
- 2:41:23Testecleese: So it's harder to miss!
- 2:41:28Testecleese: And here's the best part, is lower hoop, wider hoop, women, not a single woman has ever slam-dunked in WNBA history.
- 2:41:37Testecleese: And I got a feeling, Brian, the reason why, where is our Australian friend?
- 2:41:43Brian McFadden: Hell yeah.
- 2:41:43Testecleese: I feel like they're making a big deal about not stopping these dudes from playing is because of Brittany Griner.
- 2:41:51Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 2:41:53Testecleese: Brittany Gray's a dude.
- 2:41:57Testecleese: And just… just a heads up so everyone remembers, Brittany Griner is the one that, who smuggled marijuana into a foreign nation that we're not friends with.
- 2:42:08Brian McFadden: Well, she also was playing in the women's league in Europe, you know, and thought it would be okay.
- 2:42:15Testecleese: Yes, and she thought she'd go to Russia, with marijuana cartridges, And, yo…
- 2:42:22Brian McFadden: Never a good idea.
- 2:42:23Testecleese: Brian? Do you know how we got her back?
- 2:42:26Brian McFadden: We exchanged, like, 20 people for…
- 2:42:28Testecleese: No! Oh, no, Brian, oh.
- 2:42:31Brian McFadden: Only one.
- 2:42:32Testecleese: No, get ready to look this one up, I'm not.
- 2:42:35Brian McFadden: Word of Lore.
- 2:42:36Testecleese: They made a… they… The Lord of War! They made a movie about this guy, The Lord of War!
- 2:42:44Testecleese: We traded for Brittany Kreiner that no one ever heard of, and never heard of since.
- 2:42:52Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:42:54Testecleese: And she's the reason.
- 2:42:57Testecleese: She… he's the reason.
- 2:42:59Testecleese: Why they're not kicking… saying trans women can't play?
- 2:43:04Testecleese: Cause this is a… Fucking dude, I'm not kidding you.
- 2:43:09Testecleese: Or Facebook is wrong, because I can share a picture of this person topless playing basketball in a driveway.
- 2:43:18Testecleese: It doesn't get censored, and I don't get in trouble. How's that?
- 2:43:21Brian McFadden: Right. Good luck.
- 2:43:22Brian McFadden: So, Elon Lost is,
- 2:43:25Testecleese: It's already true.
- 2:43:28Brian McFadden: Elon Musk is, going with, unions now.
- 2:43:32Brian McFadden: In Sweden, he ended the world's longest strike in Sweden.
- 2:43:37Testecleese: Oh, it was hilarious, you see what he did?
- 2:43:39Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:43:41Testecleese: I left my balls off. He literally bought out everyone and got them to quit.
- 2:43:46Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:43:47Testecleese: Just… just paid him off.
- 2:43:50Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:43:51Testecleese: Now there's no one… protesting against Tesla.
- 2:43:56Testecleese: Was it Sweden?
- 2:43:58Brian McFadden: Yeah, Sweden.
- 2:43:59Testecleese: And Sweden's producing Teslas again. And it's funny, because every… it's funny, because, oh,
- 2:44:07Testecleese: We need more electric cars. Let's protest the electric car manufacturer and not allow them to build cars.
- 2:44:14Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:44:16Ron Pascoe: I've, I've got to head… sorry, go on. I have a bit of an emergency, I've just got to head out, but,
- 2:44:21Brian McFadden: I'll give you…
- 2:44:21Ron Pascoe: Thanks a lot, guys.
- 2:44:23Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:44:25Testecleese: Alright, man. Keep out of trouble.
- 2:44:27Ron Pascoe: See you guys. Sorry about this, sorry, yeah. Just got a quick call, mate, just a bit of an emergency going on.
- 2:44:32Brian McFadden: No problem.
- 2:44:32Ron Pascoe: Okay, totally, surely. Thanks, man.
- 2:44:34Testecleese: Work to do.
- 2:44:38Testecleese: Alright, where were we?
- 2:44:40Brian McFadden: We got, Pentagon officials are considering firing the long-time Star to Strike publisher before he can retire at the end of the month.
- 2:44:48Testecleese: No, they did fire him, actually.
- 2:44:51Brian McFadden: Yeah, I didn't know that.
- 2:44:53Testecleese: Yeah, well, I read this.
- 2:44:55Testecleese: article, then, like, 5 hours later, I got a…
- 2:44:59Testecleese: Notification for news, he'd been fired.
- 2:45:04Brian McFadden: Is that a way to make sure they don't have to pay his pension?
- 2:45:07Testecleese: Maybe… But… Not necessarily. He just said he was quitting because he hates Trump.
- 2:45:15Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's not the way to say you're gonna quit.
- 2:45:19Testecleese: Yeah, so he lost his job over it.
- 2:45:26Testecleese: We'll see, like, resigning doesn't even necessarily get you a pension, right?
- 2:45:30Brian McFadden: No.
- 2:45:31Testecleese: Unless you've done at least enough time?
- 2:45:33Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:45:35Testecleese: So, I… You should've just kept your mouth shut, huh?
- 2:45:39Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:45:40Brian McFadden: But a lot of people can't do that.
- 2:45:42Testecleese: Yeah, Brian, you understand this as well as I do, because you were actually in the service, right?
- 2:45:47Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 2:45:48Testecleese: Keep your mouth shut.
- 2:45:50Brian McFadden: Yeah?
- 2:45:52Testecleese: Why let it be your fault?
- 2:45:55Brian McFadden: Yep, unless you want to be a whistleblower that runs for,
- 2:45:59Brian McFadden: Congress in Florida and lose.
- 2:46:03Testecleese: Here's the thing, is I could run fucking Congress as a Navy vet, and you know what? I never blew a whistle. I did what the fuck I was told, because it was my goddamn job.
- 2:46:14Brian McFadden: Yeah, but your name's not Vinderman.
- 2:46:17Testecleese: Yeah… yeah, isn't he also the same asshole who…
- 2:46:23Testecleese: tried to start a whole bunch of shit against Trump.
- 2:46:26Brian McFadden: I don't know.
- 2:46:26Testecleese: I was facing the same shit.
- 2:46:29Brian McFadden: Well, yeah, but he got voted out. He didn't win his primary, so…
- 2:46:35Testecleese: Yeah, I think there's more to that, but alright.
- 2:46:39Brian McFadden: Anyway, I don't know where else you want to go.
- 2:46:41Testecleese: No, the Canadians are trying to get rid of the ambassador of the United States because they hate the United States, but, like, 2 days later, I'm sorry, 3 days later, they gave up on the…
- 2:46:53Testecleese: tariff thing, because they didn't want tariffs of Canadian goods coming to the United States.
- 2:46:59Brian McFadden: Absolutely.
- 2:46:59Testecleese: True.
- 2:47:01Testecleese: What does Canada produce?
- 2:47:03Brian McFadden: Maple syrup.
- 2:47:05Testecleese: Okay, Vermont… Western…
- 2:47:08Brian McFadden: That was mine.
- 2:47:09Testecleese: Oregon… You know what I mean?
- 2:47:13Testecleese: Skateboards?
- 2:47:14Testecleese: Because they, they…
- 2:47:16Brian McFadden: Oil.
- 2:47:16Testecleese: countries. Oil's a big one.
- 2:47:19Testecleese: Oil is their big export, and you know what's funny about that? The fact that you brought up oil, Brian. They just agreed in this, we're folding agreement to build another oil pipeline! The XL pipeline's gonna happen.
- 2:47:36Testecleese: Did you see that?
- 2:47:37Brian McFadden: -
- 2:47:39Testecleese: Yeah. This is… they're trying to say, United States, don't be a part of us, we can do it on our own.
- 2:47:47Testecleese: And then he said, shut the fuck up, we're just gonna be bitches and do what you told us to.
- 2:47:52Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:47:56Testecleese: Hey, man, if you can do it on your own, do it on your own.
- 2:47:59Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:48:00Testecleese: You're, you're making…
- 2:48:02Testecleese: Canada's making their money selling shit to Americans. If you're gonna stop that from happening, good luck, right?
- 2:48:08Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:48:12Testecleese: And let's be real, Brian, who was buying Canadian cheese?
- 2:48:16Brian McFadden: Nobody, does… unless you're buying… it's cheese curds.
- 2:48:23Testecleese: Yeah, I'm glad you knew that, too, because, like…
- 2:48:27Testecleese: you might spend some extra money from cheese from Sweden, because they might make the best… Swiss cheese, right?
- 2:48:35Testecleese: france, maybe, because they're known for, like, mold, because they're gross, but Canada?
- 2:48:44Testecleese: Who's going to Canada for cheese?
- 2:48:47Testecleese: Like, people don't think America for the first time for cheese either, but we make so much more.
- 2:48:55Testecleese: And people don't understand, we make Swiss cheese and all this other shit, not just American cheese, which isn't even cheese.
- 2:49:03Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:49:06Testecleese: Oh!
- 2:49:08Testecleese: I was hoping for Brian to be here for this next one.
- 2:49:12Testecleese: Oh, here he is.
- 2:49:14Testecleese: Brian, I was hoping you'd be here for this next one. I want you to,
- 2:49:18Testecleese: Well, I know we don't do video, but play it anyway.
- 2:49:22Brian McFadden: Alright.
- 2:49:23Testecleese: Military helicopter wrecked in the States, doing an exercise, I guess?
- 2:49:32Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:49:34Testecleese: Local police found the pilot first.
- 2:49:39Testecleese: This… this is why, can you imagine me and the local cop, showing up when a fucking downed military fucking helicopter pilot comes in, hey man, I could use some help, you know?
- 2:49:51Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:49:56Testecleese: And I'm not even sure it was local to it. Made me wonder if this is where the Apache went down, near Fort Hood.
- 2:50:04Testecleese: I don't know, I think this is at Idaho or something dumb.
- 2:50:08Testecleese: Which makes me wonder how many fucking helicopters we lose, right?
- 2:50:12Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:50:14Testecleese: But, hey, man, this is why we do training exercises. Let's lose them…
- 2:50:19Testecleese: In training where it's safe enough.
- 2:50:23Brian McFadden: Huh.
- 2:50:24Testecleese: Versus, in combat situations, you know what I mean?
- 2:50:27Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:50:28Testecleese: But, you got, you got this thing ready yet?
- 2:50:33Testecleese: I still got Cher.
- 2:50:35Brian McFadden: I know I'm working on it.
- 2:50:36Testecleese: Okay.
- 2:50:37Testecleese: So I still got some… Time to fill up, huh?
- 2:50:41Testecleese: Sure. But yeah,
- 2:50:44Testecleese: I guess this guy, like, was flying low, and his helicopter across the treeline ended up losing it in the mountains of North Carolina, I think, or Idaho, or whatever.
- 2:50:55Testecleese: But there we go, Brian's got it. Let's turn the sound on…
- 2:50:58Testecleese: If you could find the mute, it's, up top.
- 2:51:01Testecleese: On the left.
- 2:51:05Testecleese: Maybe, maybe.
- 2:51:06Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Man, thank you very much for the help, I'm with the sheriff. Their fire and aides on their way right now, and we got the hillside on fire where the jet landed.
- 2:51:13Testecleese: As long as I was a jet.
- 2:51:15Audio shared by Brian McFadden: We were doing circles over the lake, doing some local training.
- 2:51:18Testecleese: $18 million.
- 2:51:19Audio shared by Brian McFadden: tucked in.
- 2:51:20Brian McFadden: Probably.
- 2:51:20Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I'm not sure exactly. Honestly, I'm a little… Sells, nope, nope, you're fine. You hit the tree bad, bud. I went through the trees.
- 2:51:27Audio shared by Brian McFadden: He is, and I'm looking up, so, like, I'm here, I'm flying level with the ridgeline.
- 2:51:32Testecleese: robot.
- 2:51:33Audio shared by Brian McFadden: No, no, here, no, you're good.
- 2:51:35Testecleese: Are you kidding me?
- 2:51:36Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I came over that tree line, I hit those trees.
- 2:51:39Testecleese: Brian, do you know how to fly a fighter jets?
- 2:51:41Audio shared by Brian McFadden: You gotta fly higher. No, no, no, it's not.
- 2:51:44Brian McFadden: You gotta fly higher.
- 2:51:46Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Medical's on their way, too.
- 2:51:48Testecleese: Okay, you're right, you gotta fly.
- 2:51:50Brian McFadden: She's lying.
- 2:51:51Testecleese: You're right.
- 2:51:52Brian McFadden: Don't eat the trees, you gotta fly out.
- 2:51:54Testecleese: Fair argument.
- 2:51:55Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Hey, Kevin Stone, it's Major Simon. Hey buddy, I just crashed, I need you to be spent $32 million? What do you say, $16 or $8 million?
- 2:52:08Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That's good. Hey, I need to pass you 5Ws and coordinate, the, Wave off CSAR and coordinate the, missile.
- 2:52:15Testecleese: See, he's talking all fucking…
- 2:52:17Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Pilot ejected, pilot safe.
- 2:52:19Testecleese: 16th Air Force.
- 2:52:22Audio shared by Brian McFadden: East Africa.
- 2:52:23Testecleese: Fucking Air Force.
- 2:52:24Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That's yours.
- 2:52:24Testecleese: jargon. These people have no idea.
- 2:52:26Audio shared by Brian McFadden: That's funny saying, right?
- 2:52:27Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:52:27Audio shared by Brian McFadden: She sees our attempt, not necessarily.
- 2:52:31Testecleese: What the fuck's this?
- 2:52:31Brian McFadden: Surge and rescue!
- 2:52:33Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Surgeon Rescue!
- 2:52:34Testecleese: Okay, YOU know what I'm talking about, Brian.
- 2:52:37Audio shared by Brian McFadden: poultry line, probably? Jesus.
- 2:52:40Testecleese: Oh, I took out the entire trip! Yes! You flew a fucking military fighter jet into the forest!
- 2:52:47Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Are you the, are you the only pilot? I am, sir. I'm okay. Okay, let me just… let me see.
- 2:52:53Brian McFadden: That's my rules.
- 2:52:54Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Yeah, looks like.
- 2:52:55Testecleese: How would you spoof!
- 2:52:56Audio shared by Brian McFadden: What up?
- 2:52:59Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Alright, Jackson, I'm glad you're safe.
- 2:53:01Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Alright, man, thank you very much for the help, I'm Mr. Sheriff. There are fire and aides on their way right now, and we got the hillside on fire where the jet landed.
- 2:53:09Testecleese: Air Force, using JP-8, is it?
- 2:53:12Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Going in some low-level training. Okay.
- 2:53:14Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think so.
- 2:53:15Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Tucked in.
- 2:53:16Testecleese: You have any idea how flammable that shit is?
- 2:53:18Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Nope, nope, you're fine.
- 2:53:23Testecleese: Do you have any idea how flammable JP8 is?
- 2:53:27Testecleese: It's literal jet fuel.
- 2:53:31Testecleese: I mean… Shit happens. That's why we do training, right?
- 2:53:36Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:53:39Testecleese: I could laugh when the cop was trying to, like, talk to this guy about how to fly a fighter jet, you know what I mean?
- 2:53:46Brian McFadden: Play higher.
- 2:53:49Testecleese: It is a Obviously, asshole.
- 2:53:56Testecleese: I'm sure… I'm sure there are more factors, but you're right, fly above the tree line.
- 2:54:02Brian McFadden: It's usually a good way to…
- 2:54:04Brian McFadden: You can never go wrong with flying a boat. That might be a good one, that might be a good time.
- 2:54:09Testecleese: That might be a good title.
- 2:54:11Brian McFadden: I bought the chair.
- 2:54:12Testecleese: Dreamline.
- 2:54:15Testecleese: Well, F was his motto, is fly high.
- 2:54:19Brian McFadden: Right? True.
- 2:54:23Testecleese: Who cares about Mark Kelly?
- 2:54:25Testecleese: Do we… do we give a shit?
- 2:54:27Brian McFadden: He's fighting his, demotion.
- 2:54:32Brian McFadden: Because they're demoting from a Navy captain. Yeah.
- 2:54:34Testecleese: Yeah.
- 2:54:38Testecleese: I thought they would take his pension away altogether.
- 2:54:41Brian McFadden: Well, if you can't do that, then make him a commander.
- 2:54:44Brian McFadden: Make him a lieutenant commander, that's a big chunk. Going from an 06 to an 04 is a huge chunk in pay loss.
- 2:54:54Testecleese: It is, and isn't he the one who basically said, don't trust the orders you're given by your commanding officers?
- 2:55:00Brian McFadden: That's exactly what he said, and that's what got him in trouble.
- 2:55:03Brian McFadden: Because he's still… when you're getting a military retirement, you're still out… you're still in… you're still enforceable by the USCMJ.
- 2:55:14Testecleese: That's actually something we've…
- 2:55:15Brian McFadden: You're…
- 2:55:15Testecleese: this happening is…
- 2:55:16Brian McFadden: Your Senate… your… your Senate… being a senator does not exempt you from that kind of thing.
- 2:55:22Testecleese: That's something we brought when this happened, when it came out. Anyone who's ever served time, served…
- 2:55:30Brian McFadden: And getting a pension, getting the retirement from the military, you're…
- 2:55:34Testecleese: Exactly. Can still be subject.
- 2:55:36Brian McFadden: Yep.
- 2:55:37Testecleese: to the military.
- 2:55:39Testecleese: No, I… I'm not getting a pension, I'm getting VA disability.
- 2:55:43Brian McFadden: Yeah, they can't do nothing to you.
- 2:55:45Testecleese: Yeah, by the way, thank you,
- 2:55:47Testecleese: I thought about that today, about my teeth falling out of my head, the drugs that they… the…
- 2:55:53Testecleese: the Navy tried to me.
- 2:55:58Testecleese: Worth a shot.
- 2:56:00Brian McFadden: Huh?
- 2:56:03Testecleese: My teeth are becoming brittle.
- 2:56:06Testecleese: I had a… a tooth crack, a filling fell out, got infected.
- 2:56:12Testecleese: Apparently, I ate a mercury filling, which is awesome.
- 2:56:15Brian McFadden: Oh, that can't be good.
- 2:56:18Testecleese: In theory, it's not that bad, if it's done correctly, but… Mercury Silver Amalgam is safe.
- 2:56:26Brian McFadden: Well, as long as you shit it out.
- 2:56:29Testecleese: Exactly.
- 2:56:30Testecleese: Yeah, not rip myself apart on the way out, right?
- 2:56:33Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:56:36Testecleese: But yeah, that caused a nasty infection.
- 2:56:39Testecleese: I had trouble driving down the mountain to go into town.
- 2:56:42Brian McFadden: It's crazy.
- 2:56:44Testecleese: The pressure difference on the, you know, the infection. Finally, I got down, I got it ripped out, and I was like, oh my god, that feels so good, you know?
- 2:56:55Testecleese: Luckily, there's a molar.
- 2:56:58Testecleese: Which, I'm a little upset that the Navy took my wisdom teeth
- 2:57:04Testecleese: Or, I'm sorry, we're gonna take my wisdom teeth no matter what.
- 2:57:08Testecleese: My teeth grew in naturally and fit, right?
- 2:57:11Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
- 2:57:13Testecleese: Nick, I signed up when I was 22, do you know that?
- 2:57:17Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 2:57:18Testecleese: Okay, most people do it 18, right?
- 2:57:20Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:57:21Testecleese: 22 I joined.
- 2:57:23Testecleese: And they're like, oh, we're gonna take your wisdom. She's like, no, no, they grew in. They… they fit, everything's like, no, it doesn't matter, we're gonna take them.
- 2:57:31Testecleese: I was like… No, you're not.
- 2:57:36Testecleese: Well, I'm telling you, if you show up in your wisdom teeth there, they're coming out in boot camp. I went to my private
- 2:57:41Testecleese: dentist.
- 2:57:43Testecleese: And I had him do it. He's like, why do you want to take them off? They fit!
- 2:57:47Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:57:48Testecleese: gonna take them, and you guys are gonna do a better job than the government, right?
- 2:57:53Testecleese: And you know as well as I, private dentist is better, isn't it?
- 2:57:58Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 2:58:01Testecleese: Which is what makes me laugh, is… Socialized medicine thing?
- 2:58:06Testecleese: He's like, so you wanna make the entire medical system the fucking VA?
- 2:58:12Testecleese: Okay, even better, people who don't understand what that means, Let's look at the government.
- 2:58:19Testecleese: You wanna make the hospital the DMV?
- 2:58:24Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
- 2:58:27Testecleese: No, that's slow and inefficient. Oh, shit! People who make money work faster so they can make more money.
- 2:58:35Testecleese: This is where you could do another job.
- 2:58:38Testecleese: Yeah. I'm just sorry, capitalism is so much fucking…
- 2:58:45Testecleese: Alright.
- 2:58:47Testecleese: Oh yeah, North… South Korea was… we're not doing exercises anymore, because apparently we took that aircraft carrier and put it in the…
- 2:58:57Testecleese: Middle East, because of the… I'm guessing the Lincoln?
- 2:59:02Testecleese: And China's saying they're gonna make sure the world knows that the United States doesn't have an aircraft carrier here.
- 2:59:09Brian McFadden: Right, yeah.
- 2:59:10Testecleese: I kind of laughed, like, what does that mean?
- 2:59:14Testecleese: But you're gonna take Taiwan?
- 2:59:17Brian McFadden: Right.
- 2:59:19Testecleese: And… 100% fair, Brian. How many aircraft carriers does the United States have?
- 2:59:26Brian McFadden: Whoa?
- 2:59:29Testecleese: We don't have one in port right now that could get shipped out to the Pacific if we needed it.
- 2:59:37Brian McFadden: I think they're all…
- 2:59:41Testecleese: No, okay, we got one in Dry Duck, maybe 2 in Dry Duck.
- 2:59:45Brian McFadden: Alright, on each coast.
- 2:59:46Testecleese: general maintenance done. We want to get in general maintenance to get underway at 20.
- 2:59:51Brian McFadden: One getting refueled, one about to be refueled.
- 2:59:56Testecleese: Re-fueled? Who's getting refueled right now?
- 2:59:59Brian McFadden: Stennis is still being refueled, and there's another one coming in right after that.
- 3:00:03Brian McFadden: Yes, the sun is still in dry dive.
- 3:00:06Brian McFadden: It's still in the shipyard.
- 3:00:08Testecleese: That's been a long time.
- 3:00:09Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:00:11Testecleese: No, it's… Well, shit, what, 5 years?
- 3:00:15Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:00:17Brian McFadden: Hulong?
- 3:00:18Testecleese: It shouldn't take this long, Carl Vinson!
- 3:00:21Testecleese: Spent less than 5 years, refueled.
- 3:00:24Testecleese: And did the rest of the entire reconstruction overall, RCOH.
- 3:00:33Testecleese: Yep. And I only know this, because I was on the fucking ship when it happened.
- 3:00:39Testecleese: Imagine them trying to deal with civilians.
- 3:00:44Testecleese: doing your day-to-day job in the Navy, right?
- 3:00:48Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 3:00:51Testecleese: Yeah, I don't give a shit.
- 3:00:56Testecleese: Okay, but the ballroom, you seem to give a shit about the ballroom, I… I don't know why.
- 3:01:03Brian McFadden: Well, because…
- 3:01:04Testecleese: Probably because it's…
- 3:01:05Brian McFadden: They're working… they're working 6 days a week building this thing now, so, I mean, it's gonna get to a point where, if it gets delayed long enough, it's not gonna get stopped. So, I think that's Trump philosophy on this thing.
- 3:01:20Brian McFadden: $200 million has already been spent on, so…
- 3:01:22Testecleese: We call that a sunk cost fallacy.
- 3:01:27Testecleese: Which, I've already spent this much money, I may as well keep paying into it to make sure it works.
- 3:01:32Brian McFadden: Right.
- 3:01:34Testecleese: Problem is, I don't understand why the courts are having an issue with this ballroom.
- 3:01:39Brian McFadden: Because he didn't go to Congress and get approval for it.
- 3:01:43Brian McFadden: And there's a huge military installation being built underneath the ballroom.
- 3:01:48Testecleese: Whoa, okay.
- 3:01:49Testecleese: A fucking bomb shelter for the president sounds like a fucking great idea for me, to me. What about you?
- 3:01:57Testecleese: But does the president need to go to Congress? I don't know. This is new to me.
- 3:02:02Testecleese: to do these? Like, is this something I missed? Did Obama go through Congress to put in a basketball court?
- 3:02:11Brian McFadden: No, that's the problem. There's a double standard here.
- 3:02:19Testecleese: So, I don't understand…
- 3:02:23Brian McFadden: If it's Obama, nobody cares. If it's Trump…
- 3:02:26Testecleese: annual.
- 3:02:26Brian McFadden: Everybody here.
- 3:02:27Testecleese: Man, up in a courtroom, or
- 3:02:29Brian McFadden: Yeah, I don't think so, no, not yet.
- 3:02:30Testecleese: Why not? Why not?
- 3:02:32Brian McFadden: Because that'd be racist.
- 3:02:34Testecleese: Okay, didn't, Nixon put it in a bowling alley?
- 3:02:40Testecleese: Oh, no, it was, Roosevelt, wasn't it? Teddy.
- 3:02:43Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:02:47Testecleese: Did he get congressional approval?
- 3:02:49Brian McFadden: I highly doubt it.
- 3:02:51Testecleese: Precedent is a thing, isn't it?
- 3:02:53Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:02:55Brian McFadden: Craig.
- 3:02:55Testecleese: That… isn't that, like, basically what our court system runs off as precedent?
- 3:03:00Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 3:03:02Testecleese: And it takes a higher court to overturn precedent.
- 3:03:05Brian McFadden: Yup.
- 3:03:08Testecleese: I just… I'm confused. This seems like a giant waste of money for people to argue, you know what I mean?
- 3:03:15Brian McFadden: This is a big one here that you're… we're both looking at right now.
- 3:03:19Testecleese: The Texas Roadhouse?
- 3:03:20Brian McFadden: No, Alex Jones.
- 3:03:22Testecleese: Oh, yeah…
- 3:03:26Brian McFadden: Well, he figured out a way to get his $50 million verdict lowered down to $1.5 million. He can probably almost afford to pay that.
- 3:03:35Testecleese: Well, I would just like to point out that,
- 3:03:37Testecleese: His $50 million verdict started out at, like, $2.3 billion, or something like that.
- 3:03:45Testecleese: And I know, like, oh, there's no fucking way. It was literally higher than the GDP of the nation of France, is what he was due to pay out, for saying, I think you're wrong.
- 3:03:58Testecleese: This does… You're allowed to s- you're allowed to be a fucking asshole, and wrong.
- 3:04:05Brian McFadden: Well, this is a Texas court, so I don't know how it's gonna affect… the overall… Ruling.
- 3:04:13Brian McFadden: Bye.
- 3:04:14Testecleese: Well, it was less money, I'm just saying… It was a Sandy Hook thing.
- 3:04:18Brian McFadden: Yeah, Sandy Hook, yeah.
- 3:04:20Testecleese: He said some dumb shit.
- 3:04:22Brian McFadden: They're saying this ruling does not affect the $1.4 billion judgment against…
- 3:04:27Testecleese: Oh, okay.
- 3:04:27Brian McFadden: Oh, it's in Connecticut.
- 3:04:30Brian McFadden: Which the U.S. Supreme Court had defined.
- 3:04:32Testecleese: lawsuit. Okay, okay. How do you expect him to pay a… How many million dollars?
- 3:04:40Testecleese: Is what they…
- 3:04:41Brian McFadden: 1.5 in Texas.
- 3:04:44Testecleese: How do you expect him to pay that after paying a BILLION GOLLARS?
- 3:04:48Brian McFadden: Nobody's gonna do that.
- 3:04:50Brian McFadden: These people are never gonna see a dime.
- 3:04:53Testecleese: A billy, do people understand what a billion dollars is?
- 3:04:57Brian McFadden: I mean, the jury in Connecticut would have been much better off
- 3:05:02Brian McFadden: And lowering it down, way down, you know…
- 3:05:06Brian McFadden: It's something he actually might not fight in court and to just pay it, you know, with it through his liability insurance type deal.
- 3:05:15Testecleese: Everybody, like… BILLION DOLLARS!
- 3:05:18Brian McFadden: Nobody even under… nobody can comprehend what that actually even means or is word.
- 3:05:26Testecleese: BILLION!
- 3:05:27Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:05:28Testecleese: Oh my god!
- 3:05:29Testecleese: Like… like you said, people can't even understand that. People can't understand a million!
- 3:05:35Brian McFadden: Nope.
- 3:05:37Testecleese: That… and a billion's a thousand times that! And what… what? He owes this money to the families of the people.
- 3:05:45Brian McFadden: Right. Never gonna see it done again.
- 3:05:47Testecleese: Because he said… This was a hoax.
- 3:05:50Brian McFadden: Right.
- 3:05:51Testecleese: Okay.
- 3:05:52Brian McFadden: That was his personal opinion.
- 3:05:54Testecleese: I think he's wrong.
- 3:05:56Testecleese: He has every right to say that.
- 3:05:59Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:06:01Testecleese: And when…
- 3:06:02Brian McFadden: I'll get the cat in!
- 3:06:04Testecleese: It turned out that, most of this money wasn't even being paid out to the victims' families.
- 3:06:13Testecleese: That's what got me, Brian, was the…
- 3:06:16Testecleese: I thought this was a… I thought this was the same settlement when I got down to a couple.
- 3:06:20Brian McFadden: I did, too, when I first saw it.
- 3:06:23Testecleese: And I was like, okay, that sounds actually…
- 3:06:26Brian McFadden: plausible.
- 3:06:26Testecleese: But right…
- 3:06:27Brian McFadden: Dad actually won't get paid.
- 3:06:29Testecleese: Yeah, someone might actually get paid, but he still owes a billion dollars.
- 3:06:34Brian McFadden: Who's ever gonna get paid.
- 3:06:37Testecleese: No, you'll never make a billion dollars in your life.
- 3:06:39Brian McFadden: No.
- 3:06:42Testecleese: Not have a billion dollars.
- 3:06:44Testecleese: Every dollar you've ever earned in your life.
- 3:06:47Testecleese: Put it on a tally sheet will never equal a billion.
- 3:06:52Testecleese: People just… like you said, people just don't understand.
- 3:06:57Testecleese: Well, it's just like you see these women.
- 3:06:59Testecleese: They go and do their fucking online shit, and they're like…
- 3:07:03Testecleese: I want a man who's 6'6".
- 3:07:07Testecleese: I gotta make a million dollars a year.
- 3:07:10Brian McFadden: It'd be a sugar daddy.
- 3:07:11Testecleese: And I'm like, who the fuck makes a million dollars a year?
- 3:07:15Brian McFadden: Elon Musk.
- 3:07:17Testecleese: I doubt it.
- 3:07:19Testecleese: Honestly, I doubt it. Why would he pay himself a million dollars a year?
- 3:07:25Testecleese: Then, that's just taxes.
- 3:07:28Testecleese: Pay yourself a couple hundred thousand.
- 3:07:31Testecleese: You know what I mean?
- 3:07:33Testecleese: Pay less tax, you still have everything nice you want, you still have access to your money if you want to sell it to do something, but no one makes a million dollars a year.
- 3:07:45Testecleese: Someone who makes a million dollars a year is someone who's gaining net worth by a million dollars a year, not make… not getting paid a million dollars a year.
- 3:07:56Brian McFadden: Hmm…
- 3:07:57Testecleese: That means they don't have fucking cash on hand, because it's… Property and business.
- 3:08:09Brian McFadden: Yeah.
- 3:08:11Brian McFadden: I think that's our shit.
- 3:08:13Testecleese: Yeah, you know, I'm losing my shit. How's that, Brian?
- 3:08:16Brian McFadden: Yes, you are.
- 3:08:21Testecleese: Oh, shit, I put on the wrong music. Go figure.
- 3:08:25Brian McFadden: I mean, you're not even… anymore.
- 3:08:28Testecleese: I know, I did that by accident.
- 3:08:30Brian McFadden: That's okay, no biggie.
- 3:08:32Testecleese: Well, we're not doing video on the show.
- 3:08:34Brian McFadden: No, it doesn't matter, yeah.
- 3:08:37Audio shared by Testecleese: There we go.
- 3:08:40Audio shared by Testecleese: Did you just…
- 3:08:41Testecleese: Giant turtle.
- 3:08:42Audio shared by Testecleese: Oh, yeah. 3 hours long.
- 3:08:46Audio shared by Testecleese: Oof.
