Latest / The Sense and Senseless Podcast / EP: 92 Tin Foil Hat Night: Are the Bases Safe Zones for Them?
Transcript
- Bryan: What if the government just told you, without really telling you, that they're getting ready for something big and you're on your own? We need bases that could run for 90 days with zero help outside of its walls. Soldiers training to dig mass graves at a scale we haven't seen since the Korean War. Air defense missiles parked around the president's house, and a six story underground fortress going underneath the White House ballroom. Is this four separate things? Or one really dark picture? We're going down the rabbit hole tonight, and we welcome you to join us for the ride. Hey, welcome back to the Sinstance Sistless Podcast. I'm Bryan.. This Jason: No, I'm Jason. Bryan: is your first time Jason: Mm. Bryan: joining us. Welcome to the family. We're just two guys discussing shit in a way that everyone can understand. As you can see, I got my tinfall hat on. It's gonna be a little tinfall hat episode. jump right into this. My my shit a little low. Let me get that up there. All right. So last week, I'm fixing it, man. I'm fixing it. I'm fixing it. You see that? Got the got got got got the points. Damn right. Jason: Yeah Man, fix your fix your cover there, Bryan.. Fix that cover. Man, you gotta you gotta tuck that stuff in, get that brim right. Yeah. Yeah. Square your cover away there, Maureen. Bryan: That's right. Last week we spoke about the Fortress Initiative. Quick recap for anyone that missed it. On September 30th, our Defense Secretary old Pete Hicks said announced the plan to make every U.S. base in the lower 48 fully self-reliant with power, water, fuel, food for at least 90 days with zero outside help from civilian infrastructure. I think that's smart. Most bases Should already have been able to do this. But when you stack it next to the other countries telling their people to stock up at least three days of supplies. And you remember that after a real disaster, the government is usually slow as fuck to do anything. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Starts to feel like a quiet warning. I see this Fortress initiative as a warning that you should at least be able to survive on your own for a short period of time without government help. I also believe that you should already be thinking that way and shouldn't need the government to scare you into thinking that way. Does that make sense? All right. Jason: Yes. Yeah, we talked about that. But hey, Bryan: Okay, I just made Jason: w with all due respect, you guys get hit with a bunch of damn hurricanes and shit. I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't know. You might have been the same up here, but where I live, we had that one tornado hit us and dude the chances of a tornado hitting you are probably one in a million. They just are because they're Bryan: Big sky low Jason: They're not Bryan: bullet. Jason: yes. I if you look in the scheme of things, I know they've had Joplin and e the Murray or the Mayfield and Dawson Springs and all that, the one that hit us not too long ago. And then we had one hit up here in Morganfield. I see hit and I see the damage and stuff, and it's around me, but it to hit your house or right next to you is like yeah, big sky little bullet. So hurricane isn't like that. Hurricane is like what we call straight line winds, right? So that affects a shit ton of people. We get that every once in a while. And it's gonna get one time we seen it Holly was working for KU, a power company that does a a lot of Kentucky and all that. And she had to work a shit ton of overtime because straight line w winds just blew from western Kentucky all the way to end to eastern Kentucky and I meant tore a bunch of shit up. It's like one big old tornado, right? Like a bulldozer coming through. So that would be comparable to y'all's hurricane. But you guys y'all Bryan: That knocks power out for a while. Jason: have hurricane season every year. Bryan: Yeah, June to November. Jason: Yeah, it's coming. And if y'all don't get one, y'all y'all surprised. Y'all ain't surprised if you get one. You you're surprised if you don't get one. So you got I'm just saying, when you're when you're getting beat up like that all the time, naturally I feel like Bryan: I get that. Jason: You're you're better prepared. Bryan: I get that. And I could tell you from the experience that it don't wait on the government. Jason: No. No, but do we seen that with Katrina or any of that's a has happened. Bryan: Yeah, don't wait on Jason: Yeah. Bryan: All right, so now let's layer that with these three reports that come out in recent weeks. I don't know if you heard the Demat did you didn't hear about Demaz Grave trainer? Jason: I didn't hear about this one. No, I didn't know anything. I knew about the making the bases self reliant and I was just like you. I thought they were. Diesel generator. we had all them generators, remember? Bryan: Now we had generators that we could take with us on maneuvers, but we didn't have a generator to run the base. Jason: No, but you would think that all the generators that we had that would over there at S four Bryan: Yeah. Jason: that they could put them we could wire the buildings up to those if needed if something happened. You know what I'm saying? W Yes. Bryan: No, I yeah, you can make something happen. I just don't know if they were actually set up that way. No, you you correct. They probably had enough equipment on base to do something should they have to. Yeah. Jason: Yeah, did we have enough diesel? Do we had on all that to run for ninety day? I don't know. Bryan: I don't know. Jason: You we would have thought that we had plenty to be self sufficient. Yeah. Bryan: Never even thought about it, honestly, when I was in that never we always had lights. We didn't have lights, we didn't have lights. Jason: Yeah. That's right. I don't remember Bryan: Yeah, so yeah, they were Jason: d did the real quick, did the rolling blackouts ever get the base? I don't remember that. It was base housing got it, but I don't recall the base Bryan: I don't remember. I remember base housing. Jason: going out. I don't think Bryan: I don't know. Jason: they were allowed to. Bryan: I don't know. I don't remember. Jason: Yeah. Go ahead. Sorry. Bryan: So our our troops are learning how to dig a fifteen foot wide trench, or the truthful wording, mass graves using heavy equipment and then carefully backfilling them so they don't destroy the remains. These trenches hold approximately a hundred bodies. One engineering company could theoretically bury around twenty four hundred bodies in a twenty-four hour period. And they're training, so an engineering company could potentially bury 2,400 bodies in a 24 hour period of continuous work. This is supposed to be a large scale temporary burial until the bodies can be identified and returned home in the case of mass casualties in the war with Iran. Some state that this training is completely normal. I didn't receive this training. And but nah. Jason: Never heard of that one. What MOS is that? Bryan: And it was said huh? Jason: What MOS is that? I don't remember that being in the pamphlet. Bryan: Well, with us it might not have been. It might have been it might have been the Seabees or something. they were our construction. So maybe the CBs did. I don't know. They could have been. But according to what I read, it hasn't been done on this scale since the Korean War. But my question is, why would we need to do this? And the first thing I thought of is are they worried about deaths from chemical nuclear warfare where they don't want the bodies to come home for fear of contamination? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: what do you th that's the only thing I could think of. Jason: Yeah, something y yeah. Why would this come out? If that training has been going on forever, why all of a sudden would it come out? Bryan: now let's throw in the Avengers on a barge down near Mar-a-Lago. I don't know if you knew about that. We had two Avengers, air defense systems. Yep, the stingers on top of a Humvee. Jason: The Humvee Avengers? Don't yeah, man, I love that. Them things are cool as shit. Bryan: Yeah, well they got on a barge down by Mar a Lago. How about that? Jason: How about that? Bryan: It was reported in mid-October at the request of Secret Service that Avengers short-range air defense systems be deployed around Mar-a Lago in southern Florida. Currently, there are Avengers protecting Mar-a Lago. There were also reports of Avengers systems around Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, while Trump was there in August. The Secret Service thinks it needs air defense capabilities to protect Trump here in the U.S. That seems like a small escalation of protection. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: Am I reaching there or what? Jason: No. Bryan: Now Jason: No other president is that we know of unless they did and it just didn't get out, but you think it would have gotten out eventually. Bryan: Yeah, they yeah, they've restrict hairspace and shit like that, and they might have fighters, Jason: yeah. Bryan: on on alert. Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: But having interceptors at the ready, deploying Air defense missiles for presidential protection around his home and golf course? Jason: Yeah, and they snuck him around Air Force One and all that stuff too, right? Into that damn catering truck and Bryan: Yeah, so this is how I look at it. So currently we have announcements that our US bases need to be self-reliant for 90 days. We're teaching our military to dig mass graves. The Seeker Service is going to another level to protect our president. And let's not forget about the new ballroom they are building at the White House. this bunker will be six stories deep with features like military hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, and command spaces. Bomb shelters, hardened communication, and is designed with protection against modern threats like drones. It's meant to replace the current shelter at the White House. So basically, they are building an underground fortress covered by a massive ballroom. When you look at all four of these things together, you may start to have reservations about what they know and we don't know. Right? is that a logical guess? I'm not Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: trying to scare anyone, just thinking through my Jason: What's going on? Bryan: Yeah. So this brings me to my epiphany of this week. My epiphany. Again, this is a tinfall Jason: Your piphany is piphany. Bryan: hat discussion. If y'all don't know, I put my tinfall hat on when I'm gonna be out there. Just that's my that's my side. Here's your side. So let's talk about the Hunger Games, but in a way you probably never thought about it before. All right. So we're gonna put a little spin on it. So everybody talks about the Hunger Games and how this could happen. But you ever think about how they separated all those people in the districts? You can't start the Hunger Games without caging everyone into their districts, right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: So how do you do that? So let's say there's eight districts. How do you Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: get All eight of these districts caged in and under control of whoever's trying to control it. Jason: No. Bryan: I you you just can't go in each district and tell now you're part of this district and you control everything, right? Jason: Well, you start taking food and resources away from That's the only way you can do that. Because there's more of us than military. And then Bryan: Exactly. Jason: you would have to get the military to turn on the people. W the military's not contractors. There's another there's another show called the the Handsmaid Tale that was on Hulu. It was it was a series or whatever. you'd have to yeah, you'd have to research that a little bit. But Holly was watching it. and of course when your spouse watches something, sometimes you gotta watch it too. And I'm not gonna lie, there was a couple of episodes I got into it. And this was a messed up movie and it wa or or series, but basically it was kind of the same thing. They they they got these elites or whatever kind of started running their own United States, right? their own thing. And what they did is it wasn't the regular military, it was c mercenaries. Bryan: Paid the hard. Jason: You're not gonna get normal yeah, you're not gonna get normal people like me and you that served or whatever, or the people that are serving in right now to go against their their family and their loved ones. Bryan: Maybe that's why they got all the foreign. Jason: Yeah. Bring them in here. Yeah, they were letting in a lot of air or military age Arabics. We're crossing over through Canada, wasn't it? And Mexico. Bryan: How many people you think it would take to to cage in a district? You gotta put a fence around How the fuck do you do that? Jason: I don't I don't know. Bryan: I'm I'm about to tell you my my idea. So there's roughly three hundred and forty three million people in the U.S. and only two million in the military when you include reservists. Therefore, even using the military to round everybody up would be a tall task, right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Then you would have to either move all these people into an enclosed community or build a fence around where they currently live. Either way is a huge undertaking when you have three hundred and forty three million people. So I'm assuming we can agree that separating everyone and putting them in a district would be pretty damn tough in that manner. Right? Or do you see Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: an easier way to do it? Jason: No, thy like I said, you start taking away resources and the elites are protected. We already know that bunkers, all this shit that they're getting and the probably the right how many people will the ballroom bunker hold? Bryan: No, I don't it just it ain't gonna be none of us. Yeah. Jason: No, that's what I'm getting at. Bryan: So the lot Jason: And it's probably not gonna be a lot of people up there in the White House either, the staff members and shit like that. You know what I'm the the low end cronies? Bryan: no, it ain't gonna be them, no. No, it ain't gonna be staff. Jason: It's gonna be people with money statue and or stature and whatever. Bryan: yeah. Jason: So y you start taking away our resources and starving us to death Bryan: Okay. Jason: and putting people in a pinch where we can't survive. And then guess what? The the few people that can 'cause I'm gonna tell you right now, a majority of this country can't c can't take care of itself. Is they Bryan: I agree with ya. Jason: become lazy and they don't know how to live off the land, to fish, to hunt. You know what I'm saying? You got people that wig out about eating a a beef or or or somebody killing a deer. Where where do you think the fucking beat your the meat you eat comes from? You're killing an animal there, idiot. Bryan: So would you think the logical answer in order to be able to do this would be to lower the number of people? You starving them out or whatnot? Jason: Yes. Yeah. Bryan: Okay. And there's several ways to do that. One, you like you say, you can starve out. You can start a civil war, which seems like people have been trying for years to drum up, right? You could just kill people off with disease. You could Jason: COVID. Bryan: yeah, you c you could split the the country by political parties and Use one party to arrest the other. Or you can do something completely out of the realm of current discussion. We know that the political and elitist class have survival bunkers for survival. There are multiple fortified locations in the U.S. for survival of our government in the event of a doomsday scenario. These bunkers can hold a lot of people, but it's still underground. And do you really need to stay underground for all events? You can build safe camps above ground for this, but this would draw a lot of attention, right? But a simple solution is. Just fortify your bases. you sell this fortification of self reliance to the people as being able to protect the U.S. soil in the event of a cyber attack or attack from another country. Sounds pretty reasonable. Jason: Mm-hmm. Yep. Bryan: Hell, like I said earlier, I even believe it should be this way. But what if it's designed not only to keep the bases operational while the rest of the country has lost its infrastructure? But it gives the they them protections from you while you fighting each other for the survival during this massive event. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: The military base becomes a safe place for all the elitists and donor class. It keeps them safe from you. It keeps them safe while you destroy each other on the outside. Now you whittling the population down by letting a common man to feast upon themselves. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: And when you get the numbers in your favor, or the people are battered and weak, then you come in with help. You guarantee them safety and food. All they have to do is put down their arms and join their district. Pretty fucked up way to think, huh? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: As you likely know, I don't trust our politicians and the people they rub elbows with. If you're looking for a sign to get what you need to last a little while, to me, this is your sign. It doesn't mean it's going to happen tomorrow. It doesn't mean it's going to happen next year. But our government is preparing for something. And that tells me that the government knows that they can't take care of you anyway. But they're going to take care of themselves. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: So if they just leak this shit out. Hey, hey, look, we're gonna go ahead and get our shit together in case something big happens. By the way, you might wanna go ahead and get some shit together yourself, right? You Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: know what I'm saying? Jason: Get them MREs out. Bryan: A are are they telling you something without telling you something? Think about it. Let's say, let's say you're a good guy in the government, right? And you're inside the government, you're seeing some really crazy shit, right? But you can't talk about it, but it's fucked up. And then you see some shit where it might get a lot of civilians killed. But again, you can't talk about it. You can't create panic. So what do you do? You try to get the word out in the best manner that keeps everything calm while also letting people know that something may be coming without really saying. Something maybe come. And that's how I think you get the start of the Hunger Games. It makes sense. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: It's fucked up, but could they be building a way to protect themselves against us? You know, if the if the grid goes down, they have cyber attacks or something, the bases can stay up, all the chaos is going on. inside of our communities because we're all trying to survive. Jason: And they got all that damn flock camera and all they can watch this shit. Yeah. Bryan: They can watch everything. And we're gonna talk about that in a little bit too. But yeah, they can watch everything. And now the revolution is televised. Like many people said, the revolution will be televised. With flock and all that other shit, the revolution will be televised. And that's where you that might be how they televised everything in the Hunger Games. Maybe it was a flock. I don't know. And I'm not trying to scare anybody. Jason: So real quick, my mind was g well, my mind was going somewhere, then it got sidetracked, and now I'm back, you know, because I'm senseless. But anyways, that hunger the the movies I don't think it's people foretelling something that could happen. I think they're telling I think it's training our mind to accept it. Bryan: I think so. I think a lot of that stuff is to get us to it's condition and Jason: we think that people come up with this stuff ooh, they they know something. They think they think that this could really happen. Terminator and all no, they're telling a story that's gonna happen and they're getting us conditioned. Bryan: They definitely conditions. All right, real quick before we keep going, if this is making your brain itch the way it should, hit the like button, share it with someone who still thinks everything is fine, follow us and subscribe so you don't miss the next one. Just two regular guys trying to make sense of shit. We appreciate every single one of you. I hope that made sense. That was Jason: Yeah, it did. It did. Bryan: Okay. this week the Leophiles dropped a video on TikTok that I was really interested in. So I broke it up into multiple segments so we can discuss. I I'm assuming you know who the Leophiles are, that's the one that was having all the problems. Jason: I watched a little bit of her on what's his name? Sean Ryan because he didn't release the Bryan: Yeah. Jason: i the interview. Well, he finally Bryan: Well, the the first part is sh Jason: did, but huh? Bryan: the first part discusses that, but then she goes in to something totally different. Well, Jason: Yeah. Bryan: it's it's about basically how the people that he sub he invests in in Jason: Right. Bryan: And she's gonna break down the surveillance state for us and that we're we're funding. So the first one's about two minutes long, two and a half minutes, and the other ones are gonna get short and we're gonna stop. We're gonna discuss them as we go. All right. Jason: Mm. Yep. Bryan: She's gonna break down each one. And we we've covered this before and how they can track in. This shit's freaky, man. It should be fucking illegal. Jason: Yeah. Right. Bryan: I I d I still don't understand why they need all this shit. I mean, it can can it be used for good? Yeah. You know, I think Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: it it probably is still being used for good. But it's not always gonna be used for good. That's the problem. You know, why do they need to know every little thing about us? And To all the people that keep saying, well, if you ain't got nothing to hide, why you shut up. We're private fucking citizen. Why the fuck they need to know everything about us and we can't know shit about them or everything they have is fucking classified. It's classified. You ain't supposed to know. Yeah, it's shut up. Jason: Yeah. Or redacted. If it's declassified, they redact everything, so you can't fucking read it anyways. it's re Bryan: You could re you could read the date and who signed it. Jason: Yeah, that's it. And the rest is blacked out. Bryan: You you don't you don't have a need to know. You're not smart enough to understand that. We'll let you know exactly how you're supposed to understand Jason: Well Bryan: that. Jason: if I want you to have an opinion, I'll give it to you. That's the yeah. Bryan: That's it. Exactly right. Fucking sad, huh? All right, so let's see how we're being controlled or how we're being surveilled, should I say? Jason: I didn't know about the drone shit. That's that's weird. Bryan: Somebody's always watching you. I always feel like somebody's watching me. Jason: Mm-hmm. Aye, somebody's watching me. I ain't got no privacy. You gonna put your sumo costume on and do some dancing. Bryan: You're damn right. So yeah, they they the surveillance stage is getting pretty ridiculous. Well, let's just say it is pretty ridiculous. Let's let's keep going on with the Leopoles. Okay. Whistleblowers. Let me I may talk about whistleblowers for real quick. Is this why they want foreign workers here? on H one B visas and shit. Is because they can control them for being whistleblowers. If you're a US citizen, you become a whistleblower, you're supposed to be held, you're supposed to be given s huh? Jason: For treason. Treason, right? Bryan: No, if you're a whistleblower, you're supposed to have whistleblower protection. Jason: okay. Bryan: under law. But if you're a foreigner working off of a visa, if you do something that's whatever they consider that's not right for whatever, you could violate your visa and they can deport you. So do they use that as a deterrent? I don't know. I'm just got I got got my tinfall hat on. Is that a reason to have foreign workers here? no more Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: whistleblowers. Because Remember this clip? I I still can't understand these clips with when Trump was talking with Laur Ingram and he talks about these H one B visas. Again, I still don't understand why we need foreign talent. D do you understand that answer at all? Jason: No. That's like him setting us up for something. There's a reason why they ga have him here. Bryan: Yeah, it that was early on in in Jason: How are you gonna yeah, how are you gonna say that the American population is not talented enough to do this work. Bryan: Evidently he thinks that way. And then Jason: Going down. Bryan: he brings up this is about the Chinese students. Jason: Jeez. Bryan: Did he say anything? I still don't understand why we need these students. Six hundred thousand. Why we need so many H1Bs? Why we need so many students? I don't give a fuck about them universities. I don't. Let them fail. Fuck them. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: And what the hell does that have to do with black universities? Jason: If you're black, you oughta be upset about all that shit. I would. Cause if we don't have these Chinese in Bryan: And and if I start a war, I'm gonna I'm gonna end it quick. Jason: here paying for university, you guys' school's gonna go out. Bryan: God. Jason: I dude, he's like got Tourette's or something, man. Just Bryan: But that was shortly after he got elected. Jason: I know. Bryan: So it was Jason: I tell ya, man, people are gonna rile me up on this. I don't give a shit. I think he got bought. Bryan: I I would yeah. The amount of corruption that you see around his family, and we covered that before, and and the amount of shit going on, and it might have been going on before, but it's really showing now. Yeah, that this there's way too much money into this shit. Well, let's continue on with the the surveillance state. So I I was just showing you that shit because do we want to get rid of whistleblowers? Is that why we're bringing H one B in? Is that why we're allowing Chinese students in? Do we not want Americans in there that might actually say, Hey, look, they're doing some shady shit. You know? Jason: Yeah. Right. Bryan: We need somebody we can pull a visa into portem. I don't know. It's just me thinking. But I'm always wrong. Back to Leah. Yay. You remember Jason: Yay. Bryan: we talked about Maven whenever the start of the Iran war and how they were using that for targets and shit and how they let Israel use it for targets and Jason: Yeah, 'cause we I think we were questioning that school getting hit. Bryan: Yeah. The school getting hit. How about that? Think they had Maven? Jason: But Maven had a gli it was down for Bryan: Yeah. Jason: for for software upgrades that day. Bryan: The the Intel was off on that. Everything Jason: Yeah. Bryan: else they pinpointed to the Nat's ass. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: But the Intel was off when it hit that school. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: Make no motherfucking sense. And they wouldn't use that shit on us, would they? No, Jason: No, they wouldn't. Bryan: I didn't think so. we paying for it. Jason: Shit, I I I betcha my house and your house has already been targeted, dude. It's painted up. Bryan: yeah. Well, yeah, they they we pay for it. they should. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: All right. Let's go to the next one. How fucked up is that? So now everything's going on basis. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: So they're gonna have a 90 day supply of everything. They're gonna have all well not all, but they're gonna have data centers on basis. They wanna make sure they got everything. I don't know. Maybe the Hunger Game Jason: Wonder what they're doing. Bryan: thing was not too far out there. Gotta protect them data centers. Jason: Mm-hmm. Gotta make that data. Bryan: Now, is that to protect our bases from a foreign enemy or from us? All this shit that he putting on his bases. That's foreign enemy. That's what I thought. Jason: For a foreign enemy. Mm-hmm. It's never about us. Bryan: Never, never. It's all about us. It's always i it it's for us. It's it Jason: It is. Yeah, they're they're they're the they have our interests and their our safety is their concern, Bryan.. Bryan: Not ch yeah, not not only your interest, your best interest in mine. Jason: Interest, yes. Bryan: All right, so let's have Leah round this out. Why'd you like that? Jason: Pretty educational. Beats the hell out of some schoolhouse rock, I'll tell you that right now. Bryan: How about that, huh? Jason: Yeah, no kidding. Bryan: So they they did that before with freezing money. We talked about that during the the trucker protest up in Canada when they froze their bank accounts. And what is wild is like right now they ha we have one happen in real time. You seen what's going on in Paraguay? And I'm not saying that their country shut down their money, but it it all dropped at once and it proves that money is just numbers in the ether. And we are at the banks and the elitist mercy with what little bit of money we have. So this is the banking collapse out in Paraguay. Check this So how would you react if you woke up tomorrow morning and you had no motherfucking money in your account or you couldn't get to your account? Jason: I'd be a little pissed. Bryan: Little bit, huh? Yeah, they I saw earlier. Jason: Yeah. But I've been there bef I've been there before though. Bryan: Well, I saw earlier today they were dragging politicians into the streets. H here's a deeper explanation in what happened in Paraguay. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: I like to know how many banks in this country are hanging on by a thread because they so stretched, 'cause they steadily lending out money and borrowing money and you know I'm getting at it. They they gotta Jason: Yeah. Bryan: be stretched pretty thin. Jason: I think it's a full laundrying system. Bryan: it's a it's a hell of a it's a fucking Ponzi scheme is what it is. Jason: Mm-hmm. Look at your local banks, dude. You'll see very few banks in a t in a town, even poor towns that look like a shithole. They're Bryan: Yeah. Jason: all nice elaborate buildings. Why? Bryan: Yeah, you don't see yeah, you yeah, you don't see any like in a little tin building with a little front facade or something. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: like all our buildings around here look like a family dollar or dollar tree or something or dollar a general. Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: No, you're right. They they put a little money into their shit. Jason: A lot of money. Bryan: Well, I I say a little money 'cause Jason: Yeah. Bryan: they they they they they got some monies. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: But I think watching that, you wanna bring this country together. Shut everybody's bank account down. You wanna see some motherfuckers come together. You know what I'm saying? When everybody Jason: Except the broke people that I'm just being o I was there once when I lived paycheck to paycheck. I meant bad paycheck to pay when I when we used to figure out how long it took stores to cash a check and we'd float a motherfucker. Bryan: yeah, I I know what you say in there. I get that. Jason: Then people wouldn't even notice if you shut down their bank account 'cause they'd be like Bryan: No, I think they would probably notice first because when you like that you check your bank account a lot more than you do when you actually Jason: yeah, yeah. Yeah, so if it came payday and all of a sudden your shit ain't there, yeah, you'd you'd flip out, But I don't know. It's Bryan: It's scary. Jason: it is scary, man, because it it doesn't take much. And when you see what they can do and how they can do it, it's like, okay, yeah, where who are we at the mercy of? Bryan: Yeah, what happens when they don't like what we say? Right? So now they shut our bank account down. Jason: Okay, we'll just take your shit. We'll just take your shit. Bryan: Yeah, nothing you can do about it. Pretty fucked up. Hope all that made sense. Jason: Yeah, d Bryan: All right, so we we had some heavy stuff this week. And I want to end the heavy stuff with something more human. And this was something I was thinking about the other night. And it was about my grandpa. And as I get the as I get older, I start to understand more of my childhood better. And one person I've grown to understand more as I've gotten older is my grandpa. My grandpa was a World War II veteran, and to be honest, we we wasn't close. I I knew he loved me. But we wasn't close. Does that make sense? Jason: Yeah. Bryan: The other night I was sitting outside and I was talking with my wife and I I don't know what we were talking about, but for some reason I thought back to when I was a child. And back then my grandparents didn't use AC much. They they had an attic fan, they opened the windows, and we spent a lot of time visiting on the porch as it was often cooler out there, especially when we was all over. There was a small house. It got crowded quick, so it got hot. Anyway, my grandpa was he was a pretty straightforward guy. And I remember complaining about the heat. And I was always a fat kid and I sweat a lot, right? Shit, I I I live in South Louisiana. The humidity down here is brutal in the fucking summer. Anyway, I was complaining about the heat, and my grandpa said something to the effect that I should go outside more and get used to the heat and lose some weight. And and at the time I thought he was it was kind of mean, you know. But thinking back, Jason: Yeah. Bryan: I understand it. You know, as I said, my grandpa was a World War II veteran. He stormed the beaches, you know, and and I'm sure he's seen hell in his life. Knowing that, I can only imagine what hearing me complain about a little heat while sitting inside of a house sounded like to him. someone that survived a war in brutal conditions hearing a junky kid complain about a little heat. looking back, I can now see how hearing that for me would strike a nerve in him. His reality was much darker than what I could ever imagine. And from his point of view, I had it good and should have no reason to complain. No. And I see that now. We we all complain about shit that is really small in the grand scheme of things. Some me some people may seem mean, but then they may not be trying to be mean to you at all. They just live a different reality than you. One you will likely never fully understand. And I get that now. And I hope you can too. When you take the time to look at things through someone else's eyes, you see a world you never knew was there. And in my opinion, that would do more for you than ever proving someone wrong. That makes sense. Jason: Yeah, makes a lot of sense. I was the same way when I got back from Iraq in two thousand four. I was hearing people whine and complain about a restaurant being taken too long or somebody at McDonald's got their th their mint or their order wrong or something and I'd flip flip out, man, because I'm like, you don't realize what it's like not to have the luxury to just get in your car and go out and get something. Bryan: Yeah. Jason: You know what I'm saying? We were prisoners to the bases. We couldn't just get jump in a Humvee and go off and go in Kuwait and go KFC or somewhere, whatever was on Air of John. And then when we were up on the road, it was w way worse than that. You know what I'm saying? Are of John had a lot of nice shit compared to what most of them camps in Iraq had. So you'd start Realizing that we got a lot of freedoms and a lot of we're spoiled. Bryan: Very small. Jason: And when you hear people whining about little shit, you're like, Shut up, man. And you watch people die, you fear for your own life. You know how many times you get in your car and go to work and you fear that you're not gonna make it there or make it home. Bryan: Harley never. Jason: I know. So my grandpa Bryan: You're right. And like I said, Jason: was a World War II vet. He didn't talk about it much, but when he did, you could tell it bothered him. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, they seen their own different they they lived their own hell and seen their buddies die and all you know what I'm saying? And Bryan: Well yeah. Jason: question whether or not they were gonna make it back and then here here's those little fat kids out there complaining about the heat and Bryan: That's it. That's true. That's how I felt. I I I look back at a lot of those things and I think, could I have done something different? should I have reached out more? it it is what it is now. But I understand things now by looking at it like that. I don't look back and say, man, he was an asshole. I I'm trying to understand why he was that way. And I think doing that helps me, you know, understand why. my childhood was the way it was. Mm it could have been different if I wa if I would have opened my mind up, but I was just a kid that knew everything, just like most kids. And and Jason: Right. Yep. Bryan: and y and you miss out on so much. All right, so this week's shows were a little dark, and I wanted to end the week with something that I found rather funny and it's a great fucking analogy. Especially if you if you a fan of McDonald's ice cream and you hate McDonald's ice cream machines because they always fucking broke, you you're gonna love this one. This is from Bob's animation. I think you're gonna like this, Jason. Great analogy, huh? Jason: shit. Yeah, it's always our fault. Yeah, it is. You can't win that conversation. That was a good one though. I worked at McDonald's and we had a night and I never seen that son of a buck run. Bryan: No. Jason: No. Bryan: Was it because people hated cleaning it or just double work? Jason: I don't know. It just never worked. I never once seen it and I asked about it and I I was never given an answer, kinda like it was a it was a hushed. Bryan: It was a myth. Don't ever speak about the ice cream machine. There is one. Jason: Yeah, I did see it. But it probably didn't have the guts and the parts in it to work. It was probably just a mirage or something like Bryan: That thing had to be like cause I used to hear horror stories about all the roaches and shit around the fucking McDonald's ice cream machines. Jason: No, well, when it first came out, they did have ice cream because I remember getting a milkshake. You had a vanilla, a chocolate, and a strawberry, and they were flavored. They weren't like it didn't have actual chunks of strawberry in it. And dude, it was like you would give yourself an aneurysm trying to suck that shit through a straw. It was like trying to Bryan: I love the ice cream cones. Jason: suck a watermelon through a fucking straw. it didn't it was so thick it wouldn't come through the straw. Bryan: That sound like you challenging some woman or something. Can you suck a watermelon through a straw? Jason: Yeah, yeah, I betcha I betcha there's girls on here be like, I had no problem getting it out the tr like you could hold it like this for an hour and it wouldn't fall out. Bryan: What what judging by what they talking about some of this ice cream that don't melt, maybe maybe maybe that's what it was. Jason: Yeah, that's what McDonald's like like I told you, their their st their food doesn't mold. Bryan: Well the ice cream might not melt. Maybe it's just it's goop. It's goobly goop. It's goobly Jason: Yeah, it's like space food or something. It's goobloo gooboo. Bryan: goop. All right, dude. You got anything? All Jason: No. Bryan: right.
