0:34
Testecleese: Hello, and welcome to the.
0:35
Audio shared by Testecleese: Episode 343 of The Jeffrey and Brian Show. I'm Jeffrey.
0:40
Brian McFadden: And I'm Brian.
0:41
Testecleese: And with you guys, drinking some beer, what's going on? Brian, 343, it's not the magic number, but there are two threes in it. Unfortunately, Brian, do we have to retire the magic number, or are we going to carry it on…
0:54
Brian McFadden: I think it's gonna… I think the show's gonna continue on in some form, so… why not keep the magic number going?
1:01
Testecleese: Alright, well, inform everyone out there who doesn't know what we're talking about. You know, the four people that might listen to this show.
1:08
Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's from the No Agenda Show,
1:12
Brian McFadden: That, they've been on the… they've…
1:15
Brian McFadden: Got thousands of episodes. I've been doing it since the beginning of podcasting.
1:20
Testecleese: Yeah, and…
1:20
Brian McFadden: soon.
1:21
Testecleese: Wasn't, Adam Curry… isn't he the podfather? Like, everyone refers to him as the first guy to actually, like, do this?
1:27
Brian McFadden: Not… well, some people are claiming that it's somebody else, but it really…
1:33
Testecleese: If you do it successfully, how's that?
1:34
Brian McFadden: Yeah, he's the one that came up with the concept of the RSS feed.
1:38
Brian McFadden: And, you know, having it actually come straight to your computer from a server.
1:45
Testecleese: For anyone else out there who has no idea who,
1:48
Testecleese: Adam Curry is. What was he most famous for?
1:51
Brian McFadden: Banger's Ball!
1:53
Testecleese: MTV, baby, baby!
1:54
Brian McFadden: I know.
1:55
Testecleese: Dang!
1:55
Brian McFadden: I grew up watching him on MTV.
2:00
Testecleese: Really?
2:01
Testecleese: When you say grew up, what you mean by grew up, you mean, like, late teens, early 20s?
2:06
Brian McFadden: Yup.
2:07
Testecleese: Okay, because I was like, Headbanger's Ball was still on when I was around.
2:10
Testecleese: And I remember that teased-out crazy mullet with the long, long hair.
2:15
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
2:15
Testecleese: Always him, right?
2:16
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
2:17
Testecleese: Yeah.
2:18
Brian McFadden: Yep.
2:18
Testecleese: Anyway, his, his… Podcasting co-host for how many years now, has perished.
2:25
Brian McFadden: He was 80 years old. He just recently had a double bypass surgery a couple of months ago.
2:33
Testecleese: Okay, I…
2:34
Testecleese: Sorry to be weird… terrible about this, but why… it looks like it says they had an autopsy. Why would you have an autopsy if a man just had a double bypass at 80? It's… I mean, it's almost certainly a heart issue, right?
2:47
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
2:48
Testecleese: It just seems like a giant waste of time and, of resources, time and money, you know what I mean?
2:53
Testecleese: Unless they found something unusual, I suppose. Did they have some reason to think that it wasn't his heart not handling it?
3:00
Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, he was… he was… he had, like, a clean bill of health, you know, from the… after the bypass, so…
3:07
Testecleese: for an 80-year-old, and it was only 2 months later. I mean, I mean, I get, they get, they got the protocols, I understand that. For the most part, they know a lot better than I do. Some of them are pretty dumb, but for the most part, they know better than me.
3:19
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
3:20
Testecleese: It just… you hear an 80-year-old man dies after…
3:23
Testecleese: double bypass a couple months ago. I was like, yeah, well, yeah, you know?
3:30
Testecleese: So you think the No Jenna show's gonna continue? Are they…
3:33
Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's gonna continue in some form.
3:35
Testecleese: Is he gonna replace.
3:36
Brian McFadden: They had, they had a 5-hour show on,
3:40
Testecleese: Oh my god.
3:42
Brian McFadden: And, like, two and a half hours, was it well-wishing?
3:46
Brian McFadden: And, it was also… my birthday…
3:51
Brian McFadden: donation was put in on that, too. So, I was actually the only birthday
3:56
Brian McFadden: On the whole episode, after 5 hours, even… and they had my Michigan address on there, and his wife was the one that got to read my name, and she couldn't pronounce Tikonsha at all!
4:09
Brian McFadden: Adam got on there, he's like, I think that's Tikacha, you know, because he's.
4:13
Testecleese: I would've said to Concho, but, you know, that's an outsider, you know what I mean?
4:18
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
4:18
Testecleese: Just like, just like you and I would call it, Kissing me down in Florida.
4:23
Testecleese: Apparently, the logos call it Kissimme.
4:25
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
4:25
Testecleese: And I was like, that just… it doesn't… okay! That looks like the way a third grader would pronounce it, you know what I mean?
4:31
Brian McFadden: Right.
4:32
Testecleese: Alright, I did just… Have the repeat offender come in.
4:37
Brian McFadden: Hmm.
4:37
Testecleese: He's still micing up and getting ready. Oh, there he is! Oh, shit!
4:42
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, leg…
4:42
Testecleese: He's enjoying a nice warm day down under.
4:45
Ron Pascoe: Middle of the winter, mate. Beautiful Wednesday here in Australia.
4:49
Testecleese: If that's winter, summer must suck.
4:51
Ron Pascoe: Hell's Bull by mate.
4:55
Testecleese: Like, no, like, we get 100 degrees Fahrenheit up here in the mountains of West Virginia. I can't am… but we also get, like, 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
5:04
Testecleese: And remember, Fahrenheit.
5:06
Ron Pascoe: Freezing 32, not 0.
5:10
Testecleese: Why is this?
5:11
Ron Pascoe: Is it.
5:12
Testecleese: Because it's.
5:12
Ron Pascoe: It was bouncing through the.
5:13
Testecleese: satellites.
5:14
Ron Pascoe: What?
5:16
Brian McFadden: No.
5:17
Ron Pascoe: I'll kick you off.
5:18
Testecleese: I'm wondering why you're always delayed.
5:19
Ron Pascoe: boy, I'm gonna work it today, but…
5:23
Ron Pascoe: I might just… I'll see a way to travel.
5:26
Testecleese: Yeah, we just got started, we brought up how, John C. Dvorak
5:33
Testecleese: has died at 80 years old. Most people wouldn't know the name, honestly. What, he was mostly in, like, like, mechanical engineering and weird stuff, wasn't he?
5:43
Brian McFadden: Yeah, he did that. He… he had a very strong… Air traffic controller? He did that for a while, too. He was… And then he did,
5:53
Brian McFadden: Tech TV on CNET for a while, and he famously came out in the early 80s saying, why in the hell would anybody ever want a mouse?
6:05
Testecleese: Like, for your computer?
6:06
Brian McFadden: Yeah,
6:07
Testecleese: He was the one who…
6:08
Brian McFadden: Yay!
6:09
Testecleese: He's like, why would anyone want?
6:10
Brian McFadden: Yeah, yup.
6:12
Brian McFadden: And he's never… he never lived that, that little claim to fame down at all, so…
6:18
Testecleese: I got a trackball myself, and they're getting tougher and tougher to find, because no one uses a trackball anymore.
6:24
Brian McFadden: Amazon, man, Amazon.
6:26
Testecleese: You can get anything on Amazon.
6:28
Testecleese: Fuck, you can get anything at Walmart!
6:31
Testecleese: Dude, I got a fucking excavat- a mini excavator that picks up a ton and a half from Walmart.
6:40
Testecleese: But I can also get my underpass there!
6:43
Testecleese: And my groceries!
6:45
Ron Pascoe: We were everywhere, Nano.
6:50
Ron Pascoe: when we went over there a couple years ago, I'm walking to Walmart and that, and I'm in their trolleys. I didn't realize there's a lock on it. So, a certain distance away, the lock's up on you, and oh, I didn't realize, mate, that's what I'm doing some kind of pretty quick.
7:03
Ron Pascoe: It's been betting, mate, almost gone out so we'd over the foot.
7:07
Ron Pascoe: Is this look.
7:08
Testecleese: That was…
7:09
Testecleese: One thing I saw from a lot of these Europeans that came over from the World Cup, they walked into Walmart and were like, what the fuck is this?
7:17
Brian McFadden: Wait until they go to Buc-ee's.
7:19
Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, then they went to places like Buc-ee's, and I'm back.
7:23
Testecleese: Oh, shot.
7:25
Testecleese: Like, that's like a…
7:27
Testecleese: 10,000 gallon fish tank! There's a fucking shark in there, bigger than me, and it's in the store!
7:35
Testecleese: And every year.
7:36
Ron Pascoe: Oh, good.
7:37
Testecleese: Every idiot, some idiot jumps in the fish tank, right?
7:39
Brian McFadden: Yep.
7:42
Ron Pascoe: Popeye's Chicken, mate, I love Popeye's chicken.
7:44
Testecleese: Popeyes is a good one. There's a lot of good fried chicken here in the States, though, let's be real.
7:50
Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah.
7:52
Testecleese: This… apparently the Scottish invented it, it was, like, some…
7:56
Testecleese: Asian dude who was, like, second generation Scottish invented it in Scotland, and the rest of the world was like, this is amazing.
8:04
Ron Pascoe: It caught on pretty quick, didn't it?
8:06
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, man, like, I… you've probably got KFCs in Australia, don't you?
8:10
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, yeah, mate.
8:12
Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, see?
8:13
Testecleese: Oh, man, I should…
8:16
Testecleese: It's probably only a 6-7… I say only 6 or 7 hour drive, but I could probably get to the first KFC over in, in Kentucky.
8:25
Testecleese: If I really cared to, that might be fun, huh?
8:29
Ron Pascoe: Well, they're pretty… well, it's pretty popular out here, okay, if you like McDonald's. McDonald's is just about on their corner.
8:35
Testecleese: Yeah, I… I know, and you know what? It's because… you know what? It used to be super affordable.
8:42
Testecleese: But now, going and getting fast food costs almost as much as going and getting frickin' baby bag ribs, you know what I mean?
8:51
Testecleese: Now that I think of it, I was talking to the wife about going out to the Kentucky Derby.
8:56
Testecleese: Maybe that's the time to find the first KFC, huh?
8:59
Brian McFadden: Yep.
9:01
Testecleese: Alright.
9:02
Testecleese: Alright, we were talking about, Europe there for a minute.
9:06
Testecleese: you know, shocked by Walmart and such. Did you see how many people frickin' died in France because of the heat wave?
9:13
Brian McFadden: Well, they don't have air conditioning.
9:15
Testecleese: But why not, though?
9:17
Ron Pascoe: a year or two.
9:18
Testecleese: Yeah, but why?
9:19
Brian McFadden: Climate change.
9:20
Ron Pascoe: Doesn't get hot enough over there.
9:23
Testecleese: Well, you say that, but 5,764 excess deaths occurred in France during the June-July heatwave period.
9:32
Testecleese: No, it's like, if the regulations say you can't use this, you can't use that, or it makes it way too expensive, that might make sense, but can't your average homeowner buy a window unit and install one?
9:45
Brian McFadden: No, they're not… they can't buy them over there.
9:48
Ron Pascoe: It's… that's not… not common at all, no?
9:53
Testecleese: Why don't they use geothermal?
9:55
Testecleese: To cool everything down, then.
9:58
Testecleese: Well, because if you dig a hole in France, you end up in the catacombs. My mistake.
10:02
Ron Pascoe: Cheers.
10:04
Ron Pascoe: See how it is, like, in England, they were bloody going on about 31 degrees, there was a heat… they'll call it a heat wave. 31 degrees is what we'll probably get to today in Australia, in winter.
10:13
Testecleese: If I had a pencil and paper, I would do the math. You know, I could probably Google it if I cared. I was like, I would do the math and, you know, figure out 5 over 9F minus 32 equals C. But I was like, I keep forgetting you can just punch it into your phone, it spits the conversion up for you.
10:30
Testecleese: It's like, I learned all these useful equations in my life, and I can just ask the fucking computer now, you know?
10:38
Testecleese: Yeah, and I have no idea what 30 degrees translates into.
10:42
Testecleese: When they say that that's probably 80s, 80 degrees Fahrenheit, if it's people complaining about it.
10:49
Ron Pascoe: Fuck.
10:50
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, about 70-something degrees Fahrenheit.
10:53
Testecleese: Oh my god, are you kidding me? That's nothing.
10:58
Ron Pascoe: Better winter.
11:01
Testecleese: No, no, yeah, no, but if that's what they're complaining about in…
11:04
Brian McFadden: 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
11:06
Testecleese: Okay, that's enough to complain about, but you don't… you don't stop bitching about the heat until it's at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit, you know what I mean? Then you're like… especially… and then only if it's humid.
11:19
Testecleese: You know, like, Arizona, you can handle 90 degrees no problem, but you do it in, like, Florida, in a swamp, and the problem is you sweat, and your sweat can't evaporate, and it just sits on you, so you just…
11:30
Testecleese: You get gross, and you stay hot.
11:33
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
11:34
Testecleese: I have no idea how much of Australia's desert.
11:37
Testecleese: From what I understand, a lot of it is.
11:39
Ron Pascoe: Mate, yeah, up in our north… northern parts of Australia, like, a winter day hardly ever get below 30 degrees.
11:46
Ron Pascoe: In winter.
11:47
Testecleese: Well, temperature doesn't necessarily mean desert.
11:50
Testecleese: Desert means less than an inch of precipitation a year, because the, the…
11:56
Testecleese: Antarctic… I'm sorry, the Arctic is considered a desert, because it gets less than an inch of snow a year.
12:02
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, it hardly ever rounds here.
12:04
Testecleese: Well, yeah, but it's precipitation, snow counts. But it doesn't even snow, because it's too cold to snow, it literally just… it never gets into the air to fall back down, you know what I mean?
12:15
Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
12:16
Testecleese: By the way, I saw some shit of these white women
12:20
Testecleese: identifying as Aborigine-y recently, and I laughed my ass off, and I almost sent it to you.
12:28
Testecleese: No, they had, like, the hoop nose thing, and the paint, and everything, and they're, like, in front of a council, saying how they need to be recognized. I was like, oh my god, try that here.
12:39
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, sounds like the guy.
12:40
Ron Pascoe: Couple grads?
12:42
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, a whole bunch of white women, and I was like.
12:45
Ron Pascoe: Yes,
12:47
Ron Pascoe: Try to get handouts from that, mate.
12:50
Testecleese: That's exactly what they wanted benefits, because they could find somewhere in their lineage.
12:54
Ron Pascoe: Damn.
12:54
Testecleese: Aboriginal blood. And I was like, that's like saying… being a United States citizen and having no native blood. It's… it happens, but you almost certainly can have some somewhere, you know what I mean?
13:09
Testecleese: Gotcha.
13:11
Testecleese: Warren, the odds of her being nor Neanderthal, and the average American is Native American blew my mind.
13:21
Brian McFadden: Well, you see this breaking news from the Indigenous news line.
13:24
Ron Pascoe: loose?
13:29
Testecleese: Yeah, I did. I read it, and I'm not sure exactly… I don't remember exactly what it said. They're worried about…
13:35
Testecleese: God.
13:36
Brian McFadden: Global warming!
13:37
Testecleese: Yeah, exactly.
13:39
Brian McFadden: It's affecting the indigenous people more than it affects normal people.
13:46
Testecleese: Do they know what the word indigenous means?
13:49
Brian McFadden: Well, hundreds of them went to… they gathered in Geneva.
13:53
Brian McFadden: At the, at the UN gathering to fight for their rights.
14:01
Testecleese: The rights to what!
14:05
Testecleese: Indigenous people. If you went and lived in fucking Alaska like a fucking Inuit, you would be just as affected by this shit. It's the fact that you chose a place, and you stayed there.
14:19
Testecleese: And, oh my god, the example, the Aborigines. They live in a fucking dry, hot desert, okay? And there's nothing to eat.
14:28
Testecleese: Go somewhere else!
14:34
Testecleese: But no, you're not allowed to interfere with the native folks, because you'll fuck up their way of life. And it's like, I don't know, maybe one of these kids might like to get an education and not live in the fucking desert in his underpants his entire life, you know?
14:46
Brian McFadden: Maybe.
14:52
Testecleese: Oh my god, it just drives me nuts seeing stuff like this, dude. And yeah, they want their rights, their rights to what? What are we going to do to make this better for them?
15:00
Brian McFadden: Right.
15:02
Testecleese: And this is right after, like, every major scientist on the planet was like, yeah, we were actually wrong with this climate change thing, considering we said it was supposed to end, like, 7 years ago, that the entire world.
15:13
Testecleese: Come on.
15:16
Testecleese: So, the appeals court stepped in concerning Trump's mail-in voting thing.
15:23
Testecleese: What was it again? You…
15:25
Testecleese: States that don't comply with the,
15:28
Testecleese: Checking the… checking their voter rolls don't get mail-in ballots or something like that?
15:34
Brian McFadden: Let me see here…
15:38
Testecleese: Because that led to a whole big issue with, what just happened in New Jersey, too.
15:41
Brian McFadden: Basically, It's saying that…
15:46
Ron Pascoe: Nope.
15:47
Brian McFadden: There is… you can block how many…
15:50
Brian McFadden: They're gonna allow… definitely restrict, mail-in ballots.
15:56
Brian McFadden: For a while, so… They want to create stricter regulations for mail-in ballots, basically.
16:03
Testecleese: Oh, like, back what they were… the laws actually are, and have.
16:06
Brian McFadden: Yeah, where you can't… you don't have to wait 30 days after the election to get your mail-in ballots in.
16:12
Testecleese: Yeah, and you can't do it from your house. The idea of a mail-in ballot is that you're, like, overseas for some reason, or incapacitated, right?
16:21
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
16:22
Testecleese: Like, for the most part, most of your mail-in ballots in the United States were active duty military.
16:28
Testecleese: And diplomats overseas.
16:30
Testecleese: They still, they still got a say in the vote.
16:34
Testecleese: But… and that's the big issue, man, it's like…
16:37
Testecleese: Oh, who can walk two and a half blocks to stand in line?
16:41
Testecleese: Well, how long… how long of a line have you ever waited in, Brian, honestly, to vote?
16:45
Brian McFadden: You've never changed.
16:46
Testecleese: Virginia.
16:47
Brian McFadden: It wasn't more.
16:48
Testecleese: even in Virginia, I never waited more than a couple minutes.
16:51
Brian McFadden: Obama.
16:54
Testecleese: So maybe you just need to show up to the ballot box earlier, then.
16:58
Testecleese: I try to do it when it opens up, and there's no… and, you know, that's how I know I'm not gonna get a whole bunch of Democrats, because none of them are up and about at 7 o'clock in the morning.
17:12
Testecleese: But yeah, yeah.
17:13
Testecleese: I've never had to wait in line, like, when I lived in Massachusetts, I walked to the voting booth, which was at the high school, I'm sorry, the elementary school, which is less than a mile from where I lived.
17:24
Testecleese: Walked in… did you check this out.
17:28
Testecleese: I walked in, I told them my name and my home address, and they said, here's a ballot, go vote.
17:36
Testecleese: I was like, how do you know I'm not lying to you, and I'm not doing the neighbor's name? She's like, well, are you? I was like, well, if I was, I wouldn't tell you! You know?
17:44
Ron Pascoe: We wouldn't bring it up, Nia.
17:46
Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, what if I come back in 2 hours, and you don't recognize me, and shave, and you don't recognize me, and I go vote for my neighbor, who I know doesn't live here anymore, but I know he's still in the voter registration.
17:57
Testecleese: And she's like, oh, no one would do that. I was like, maybe I will, just to prove it happens, you know? Of course, I didn't, because that's illegal, and the woman who got her dog to vote in California got, in trouble, didn't she?
18:08
Testecleese: She did it to prove that her dog could cast a ballot.
18:11
Testecleese: And then she saw criminal penalties for having her dog cast about, and I was like, I understand she broke the law, but she made a pretty good point, everyone, and no one gave a shit, you know?
18:27
Testecleese: Alright, okay, so, does Tale of Farms, that's the explosive diarrhea lettuce.
18:35
Testecleese: Do they have a lawsuit against the FDA for.
18:39
Brian McFadden: Oh, they will.
18:40
Testecleese: A false positive claim that.
18:42
Brian McFadden: Probably better.
18:43
Testecleese: this?
18:44
Brian McFadden: It killed their business, so…
18:46
Testecleese: Oh, especially because these are the same guys that were attached to the E. coli outbreak at McDonald's, right?
18:51
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
18:52
Testecleese: Jeez, another one, no one's buying shit from you ever again.
18:57
Testecleese: I can't imagine the payout for saying you completely destroyed our business.
19:03
Brian McFadden: Right.
19:04
Testecleese: I would just like to say that…
19:06
Testecleese: Every news channel used the term explosive diarrhea.
19:10
Brian McFadden: Yup.
19:11
Testecleese: ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, friggin' One America News, Blaze News, all of them, right?
19:20
Testecleese: These are companies that can't agree on what a woman is. These are organizations that can't agree with who won the 2016 election. But they all agree that this is explosive diarrhea.
19:31
Testecleese: Which is… Really threw me for a loop.
19:36
Testecleese: Brian missed a funny joke, too.
19:40
Testecleese: And I'm not sure how much Ron can hear us, sometimes I think he's frozen up, sometimes I'm not sure.
19:45
Testecleese: He might just be deep in thought.
19:47
Ron Pascoe: Sorry, mate, now I was frozen.
19:49
Testecleese: Yeah, that's too bad.
19:52
Testecleese: Yeah, Brian, I was just pointing out how all these different news networks that can't agree on what a woman is or who won the presidency in 2016 all agree that it was explosive diarrhea.
20:01
Brian McFadden: Right, right,
20:03
Testecleese: I never thought that was what was gonna bring us together, You're like, nope, that's explosive.
20:09
Brian McFadden: And that's probably why Trump prefers McDonald's.
20:13
Ron Pascoe: Yeah. I've never heard anyone.
20:16
Ron Pascoe: I've never heard of anyone with slow diarrhea, boys.
20:20
Testecleese: Well…
20:22
Testecleese: Okay, you're talking about just natural pressure. Now make… now imagine putting a fucking cherry bomb on the other end of that thing and blowing it out. That's explosive diarrhea.
20:34
Testecleese: Alright.
20:36
Ron Pascoe: You watch, you watch, you'll have us more in math next.
20:40
Testecleese: I mean, that… let's be real, we all knew that was, Taco Bell anyway, but…
20:44
Ron Pascoe: Okay.
20:44
Testecleese: Okay, so Shane Gillis, who got fired from SNL a while ago because of his racy, racy comments, and no one likes him, and how many news networks came out to talk shit about this guy, how everyone hates him after the, Kevin Hart roast?
20:58
Testecleese: Right. Just set… just, set the world record for, for most, attendees and tickets sold at a comedy event.
21:07
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
21:08
Brian McFadden: And they were saying his stuff he was saying at the Kevin Hart Rose was racist, but…
21:13
Brian McFadden: Those are all writers. That's all scripted material.
21:20
Testecleese: -Oh.
21:21
Testecleese: Is Brian breaking up, or am I… oh, -oh.
21:24
Brian McFadden: I've got good internet. I'm in… I'm in Newport, New Virginia. I'm on… Cox internet now, so…
21:32
Testecleese: Yeah, I agree.
21:33
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, it's a…
21:33
Testecleese: You just had to glitch up on me.
21:35
Ron Pascoe: Hmm.
21:36
Testecleese: But yeah, he sold 76,212 tickets to a single comedy event.
21:43
Brian McFadden: Good for him.
21:45
Testecleese: It was just fascinating watching how…
21:47
Testecleese: quickly the narrative of how evil all of this stuff is dissipated after USAID disappeared.
21:55
Brian McFadden: Right.
21:56
Testecleese: It's like, all these voices that were getting paid to tell you how evil it is, they're not getting paid anymore, so people check it out, and I'm like, oh, this guy's… this guy's funny.
22:04
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
22:07
Testecleese: Alright, oh, shit, I don't even know what I just said, that was crazy.
22:12
Testecleese: You hear this experimental explosion, they think, that happened off the coast of Florida?
22:17
Brian McFadden: Shock testing on a new, new, new ship.
22:21
Testecleese: That's one theory they have out there, because the Navy has done this before, and we find out after the fact.
22:26
Testecleese: Basically, the belief is, because obviously the Navy's not going to tell us.
22:31
Testecleese: But the theory is that the Navy was setting off explosives at surface level at different distances from their ships.
22:38
Brian McFadden: Right.
22:39
Testecleese: To see how well the ship held up to the explosions.
22:42
Brian McFadden: Right.
22:43
Testecleese: And I was like, I respect that, you know what I mean?
22:47
Testecleese: But it showed up on Richter scales across Florida.
22:50
Ron Pascoe: Fair enough.
22:50
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
22:51
Ron Pascoe: Damn.
22:53
Testecleese: Yeah, they're like, that's not a normal earthquake, something weird, like, this is different, and they're like, oh, we've seen this before.
22:58
Testecleese: Way back when the Navy had done this, we found out it was the Navy, and it turns out one of the new carrier groups or something was out there recently, right? Like, when this happened?
23:07
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
23:09
Testecleese: That sounds exactly what happened.
23:12
Testecleese: Okay, Brian, how long have I been talking about undoing the 17th Amendment on this show?
23:18
Testecleese: How the Senate should return to the states and not the voter.
23:23
Brian McFadden: For a while.
23:25
Brian McFadden: As long as I've known you.
23:28
Testecleese: Yeah, okay, I was gonna say, probably at least 20 years, how the average citizen shouldn't get to vote for Senate, the state should pick two, and that's supposed to represent the state and not the constituency.
23:40
Testecleese: Right. The interest of, like, West Virginia, as opposed to the majority of the voters.
23:46
Testecleese: And a Republican put this bill forward, to repeal
23:52
Testecleese: Not even a bill! Maybe they're calling it a bill? Yeah, they're calling it a bill, but…
23:58
Testecleese: You can't just repeal the 17th Amendment.
24:04
Brian McFadden: No, you gotta… it's gotta go through the whole process.
24:09
Testecleese: Yeah, you'd… exactly, what, you need? Two-thirds states' votes.
24:13
Testecleese: And now here's the question, is how… does each state have to vote the same way? I can't remember…
24:18
Testecleese: the most recent… Constitutional amendment to go through.
24:23
Testecleese: Do they all have to vote the same way, or not? Like, do the states get to say individually what they want to do, or do they take.
24:28
Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think so, yeah.
24:30
Testecleese: So some of them might be…
24:32
Testecleese: Having a vote from the people, some might not.
24:36
Testecleese: Basically, the way voting works, they can do what they want to do.
24:41
Testecleese: But yeah, I think as you go back to the States,
24:46
Testecleese: They've been saying this for the longest time. Now, these nutjobs on the DSA are saying they want to abolish the Senate, and I was like, if you actually read
24:54
Testecleese: Read the fucking Constitution, it's, like, the only thing you cannot abolish in the United States federal government.
25:01
Testecleese: You'd have to completely throw out the entire Constitution, which might be what they want.
25:07
Testecleese: But you can't just abolish the Senate and the Presidency. You could abolish the presidency, but you cannot abolish the Senate.
25:14
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, that's… have fun spelling that one, Brian.
25:18
Brian McFadden: What?
25:20
Testecleese: That is not how you spell it.
25:27
Brian McFadden: You know what I mean!
25:31
Testecleese: I know, that's a tough word to spell.
25:35
Testecleese: a judge has put a temporary pause on Paramount, Warner Bros. merger. I…
25:41
Testecleese: I don't know if I like the argument for trying to stop it from happening.
25:46
Brian McFadden: Well, they're gonna… it's gonna be a problem, because…
25:50
Brian McFadden: One of the agencies came out and said, well, if you just…
25:53
Brian McFadden: separate CNN out of the merger, it'll be okay for the merger to go through.
25:59
Testecleese: Yeah, I was gonna say, I saw something new come out, but I didn't open the article, I was busy doing something. I think I was cutting the grass for 5 hours, my pocket vibrated, and I saw the news flash up, or whatever, but…
26:11
Testecleese: I understand this monopoly theory.
26:14
Testecleese: Because once you get in control of something, it's almost impossible for anyone else to get involved. This is why…
26:19
Testecleese: This is how I've made a shit ton of money off of Verizon over the years.
26:23
Testecleese: You know what I mean? I buy a bunch of Verizon stock, I wait for them to buy everything up. As soon as they buy up, I'll buy, like, one or two companies.
26:31
Testecleese: I sell most of it.
26:33
Testecleese: Watch them get spoiled apart by the government.
26:35
Testecleese: And then I go buy Verizon stock again, and not T-Mobile, not Bell Atlantic, you know what I mean?
26:41
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
26:42
Testecleese: Because what's left right now, what options do you have at this point? You have basically Verizon or T-Mobile.
26:48
Testecleese: Unless you wanna go, like, frog wireless or something weird.
26:51
Brian McFadden: I got AT&T.
26:53
Testecleese: Yeah, oh yeah, so there you go.
26:55
Testecleese: that's two major competitors, and just wait for Verizon to decide that maybe they're not gonna this time. Maybe they've learned their lesson.
27:03
Testecleese: There's, what, 3 times, I think, the federal government has stepped in and split them into, like, 7 different companies?
27:10
Testecleese: Yeah, but again, there's not many competitors to Verizon.
27:17
Testecleese: And it's been a while. I've been a T-Mobile member for over 10 years now.
27:21
Brian McFadden: Well, I was with Sprint for 30 years, and then T-Mobile bought them up, and it didn't take me long to leave T-Mobile after that.
27:28
Testecleese: See, I was…
27:30
Testecleese: I was with T-Mobile back when they did, like, your fave fives, and they were always free to call, back when, like, you paid per call.
27:36
Brian McFadden: Hmm.
27:37
Testecleese: Even outside, even during peak hours, and that was… I… that's why I went with them.
27:42
Testecleese: And…
27:44
Testecleese: Actually, I could still do that. No, we did something so we couldn't do it anymore. For a long time, I could, after they stopped that program.
27:52
Testecleese: But I've been with him for so long that…
27:54
Testecleese: if I contest anything, like, I don't think that's right. They look at my record and go, yeah, okay, nope, you're right. They don't even bother arguing with me.
28:02
Testecleese: Let's be real, you could just join an introductory plan with the other company.
28:06
Testecleese: For however many months it's required, right?
28:09
Testecleese: Get a lower rate.
28:10
Testecleese: cancel that and go with another company again. And these days, you can even keep your phone number when you do it.
28:15
Brian McFadden: Yep.
28:18
Testecleese: Alright, what's going on in Michigan?
28:21
Brian McFadden: Well, it's emerging, surprise, surprise.
28:24
Testecleese: Yeah, I'm a little…
28:24
Brian McFadden: defense tech startups, and military innovation. I mean…
28:28
Brian McFadden: I mean, there is high-tech companies in Michigan, you know, so…
28:35
Testecleese: The problem is, Detroit's already set up for industrial… Production.
28:40
Brian McFadden: Yeah, I don't think this is happening in Detroit. I think it's… Elsewhere in the state.
28:46
Testecleese: No, the only reason why I brought up Detroit was because,
28:50
Testecleese: the… not… not this headline, but the one that was in the initial link, said something about, like, a Detroit…
28:57
Testecleese: financer explains how the taxes in New York are gonna lead to a boom in Michigan, you know what I mean?
29:03
Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's another article, yep.
29:05
Testecleese: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was my mistake, I thought it was this one. So they're saying that Michigan's gonna be doing new technologies, doing, like, robotics or.
29:12
Brian McFadden: Well, they're also seeing that, yeah, they're gonna be incorporating AI tools, and they've got a… they've got an innovation hub located in McComb County.
29:21
Brian McFadden: I don't know exactly where that county is in Michigan, but that's okay. There's a lot of…
29:26
Brian McFadden: places in Michigan.
29:28
Testecleese: Man, you've been out of it for a while, and let's be real, man, until I left Massachusetts, even in Virginia, counties meant nothing to me. Who gives a shit what county you're in? It means fucking nothing, you know what I mean?
29:40
Testecleese: I came to West Virginia, and it makes all the difference in the world, because
29:43
Testecleese: Half the people here don't live in a city or a town.
29:47
Testecleese: They're in unincorporated parts of the county, and…
29:50
Testecleese: Going across the county line is where the laws change, and it's crazy, you know?
29:54
Brian McFadden: Right.
29:56
Testecleese: But…
29:58
Testecleese: Alright, and maybe, maybe this, AI emergence that's happening in Michigan, maybe, perhaps this story is trying to justify all these data plants that are being put into Michigan.
30:09
Testecleese: How much money.
30:10
Brian McFadden: Oh.
30:10
Testecleese: Bring it to the government, then.
30:12
Brian McFadden: Well, yeah, I mean, the government may be making money off of it, but the populations are starting to,
30:17
Brian McFadden: Get fed up with all these data centers popping up everywhere, and it doesn't seem like…
30:22
Brian McFadden: Seems like by the time that people know about it, it's… there's already too many wheels in motion to stop it, so there's a lot of shitty behind-the-scenes stuff going on with these data centers.
30:35
Testecleese: Primary, your local… see, that's the thing, is people don't vote local government. They don't even realize it's happening.
30:42
Testecleese: By the time they show up, it's already done. Like you said, the wheel's already in motion.
30:47
Testecleese: People need to be involved in local government. It's gonna affect you more than federal government.
30:52
Brian McFadden: I think I'm gonna run for, township government.
30:56
Testecleese: There you go, and then you can immediately put out to your people.
30:59
Testecleese: Hey, they want to put a data center in.
31:02
Testecleese: Let's get on this before… before they fucking file the paperwork.
31:06
Brian McFadden: Yo.
31:06
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
31:09
Testecleese: But you're probably gonna look at the numbers and go, fuck, we're gonna bring in two extra billion dollars a year. We could… we could cut… we could drop all property taxes for the lowest… next 5% lowest incomes, you know what I mean?
31:22
Brian McFadden: Yeah, this next article is the one about the Detroit developer… Okay. That is talking about, you know, substantial taxes… See, I told you I read these ones.
31:32
Testecleese: motherfuckers? No, I know, I know.
31:35
Brian McFadden: And that's why he's proposing a 982-acre
31:40
Brian McFadden: they call it Bell Island into a special economic zone. It's got 50,000 residents in it, and they want to make that, like, a tax haven, where, you know.
31:49
Brian McFadden: You know…
31:52
Testecleese: try to… try to invite the billionaires from New York City into Michigan to do their business in Michigan, because they're gonna save a ton of money.
31:59
Brian McFadden: Right, because right now, the article says, socialists are on the march, and Zoran Madami in New York is the best example of that. They're winning races, and their answer is always saying, more taxes and more free stuff.
32:13
Testecleese: and Seattle, and, you know, Los Angeles. And here's the thing, Brian, is we've been ringing this bell for years now.
32:22
Testecleese: And the Democrats are just now noticing.
32:26
Testecleese: And I'm like, I don't know what to tell ya. I was like, okay, I understand you don't listen to my show. I was like, but I put this shit out on old people Facebook.
32:34
Testecleese: You know what I mean? The ones that call me Nazis still. I'm like, no one calls anyone a Nazi anymore, that's old.
32:40
Brian McFadden: Right.
32:41
Testecleese: But now I see them posting the same shit. I'm like, I've been telling you this the whole time, and you called me Tara Williams, like, oh, I… fuck you, I would have seen it. I'm like, dude, you had a 20-minute… you know…
32:50
Testecleese: 20-page argument with me over this shit, like, 2 years ago.
32:53
Brian McFadden: Right.
32:54
Testecleese: Like, the same people that said Mom Donnie, I actually went back and found one dude's post, how Mom Donnie was gonna save the world. And I shared it back to him.
33:02
Testecleese: And he's like, well, you know, I mean…
33:05
Testecleese: It's not the same. I'm like, what do you mean it's not the same? It was you!
33:10
Brian McFadden: That's fake news.
33:12
Testecleese: So you posted bullshit just so you could bitch about it later?
33:16
Brian McFadden: Right.
33:18
Testecleese: I just…
33:20
Testecleese: And that's the thing, too, though, is you're driving all those… like, Mom Donnie in New York with his, Pierre de Terre tax.
33:27
Testecleese: They're taxing people who have a secondary home, like, not the primary residence, in New York City that's worth more than $5 million.
33:34
Brian McFadden: Right, that's probably most of the homes.
33:37
Testecleese: Well, in…
33:38
Testecleese: Parts of New York City, no problem, especially with your very, very wealthy people who come through a couple times a year to sign papers, you know what I mean?
33:47
Testecleese: The problem is.
33:49
Testecleese: He's like, well, they're not real members of the community. He's like, yes, but they were paying taxes and not using any of the services you were providing.
33:57
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
33:59
Testecleese: Like, they will literally just… Passive income, and you chased them out.
34:05
Testecleese: And they're like, well, why'd they leave? He's like, because you told me to get the fuck out. You actually said goodbye and waved and laughed.
34:11
Testecleese: Not even kidding, Mom Donnie did that. And they did it in, Seattle, too, right?
34:16
Brian McFadden: Yup.
34:18
Testecleese: Prime Mini Brime?
34:20
Testecleese: Right, and you guys got more explosive diarrhea cases out there in Michigan, apparently.
34:24
Brian McFadden: I know, I can't wait to get back to Michigan next week to get my explosive diarrhea.
34:29
Brian McFadden: 6,000 cases just last week.
34:33
Testecleese: Oh my god.
34:35
Testecleese: found out it is in West Virginia.
34:39
Testecleese: So that's… that's fun. I had a salad for dinner today, so that'll be…
34:43
Testecleese: It's like fucking Russian roulette, you know what I mean?
34:46
Brian McFadden: Cool.
34:47
Testecleese: Who knows? I had salad, 45 minutes before we started this show. It might be a race against the devil to get upstairs in time.
34:52
Brian McFadden: Yep.
34:57
Testecleese: so we just had a state of emergency in all 22 counties out here in West Virginia.
35:05
Testecleese: And it's… it's freaking crazy, dude. Buchanan, it's less than an hour from me.
35:11
Testecleese: completely flooded out. There were videos of, like, ATVs floating past people's houses, sheds floating down the road. Some person came on the next day and was like, someone's trailer, like, their home, their trailer.
35:26
Brian McFadden: brother.
35:27
Testecleese: is in my front yard on its side. I don't know what to do about this.
35:33
Brian McFadden: Meanwhile, in Virginia, we've got a drought going on right now.
35:36
Testecleese: Oh, the storm. Oh, man, this crazy thunder, and it didn't even hit us!
35:41
Testecleese: where I live.
35:44
Testecleese: I made sure to point out, I was like, you know what, this is what's great about being on a mountaintop?
35:48
Testecleese: They don't flood.
35:50
Testecleese: And rocks don't roll down onto you like they do with the houses at the bottom of the mountain, you know what I mean?
35:55
Brian McFadden: Right?
35:56
Testecleese: Cause… I don't know if people realize this, but falling rocks is a big deal in the mountains.
36:01
Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
36:02
Testecleese: Like, 5-pound… five, yeah, 5-pound… 5-ton boulders, where they got heavy equipment pulling it out the road, and you're bombing down the road, like, 50 miles an hour, because it's a 50-mile-an-hour road, come around the corner, and there's a 5-ton boulder sitting in the road.
36:21
Testecleese: Oh, and, some delicate, a Republican delegate here.
36:27
Testecleese: In the state government, not even, like, county.
36:32
Testecleese: Has been seducing This young girl, definitely underage.
36:40
Testecleese: And his name is Prit.
36:44
Testecleese: And the issue is, he's basically refusing to resign his position.
36:48
Brian McFadden: Hmm.
36:49
Testecleese: And if he doesn't, that's gonna cause a major issue with this next election, apparently.
36:54
Brian McFadden: Right.
36:55
Testecleese: So, the rest of the government, the rest of the Republican Party and the Democrats are all getting together to eject this guy and force
37:06
Testecleese: That district to vote again, and see if they want to put him back in office or not.
37:10
Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
37:12
Testecleese: But yeah, he's… He's, like, in jail, awaiting trial.
37:16
Brian McFadden: Huh.
37:17
Testecleese: Yeah, and he didn't just seduce her, this was an ongoing thing.
37:22
Testecleese: With, you know, don't tell your parents kind of thing, you know?
37:25
Brian McFadden: Oh, wow, that's crazy.
37:26
Testecleese: Yeah, so… holy shit.
37:31
Testecleese: Oh, no.
37:32
Testecleese: Oh, okay.
37:34
Testecleese: Massachusetts for a second.
37:37
Testecleese: squad member, Ayanna Ali, is that her name?
37:41
Brian McFadden: Yeah, huh?
37:42
Testecleese: Diana Presley, I'm sorry.
37:44
Testecleese: Presley.
37:46
Testecleese: There was a dead body found in her husband's house.
37:53
Testecleese: no one knows anything about it, really. It looks like it might have been a squatter or something, because this was a house he bought recently.
37:59
Brian McFadden: Okay.
38:01
Testecleese: Apparently, this guy's got… first of all, this guy's a felon. Just want to point this out, this man has a felony on his record.
38:07
Testecleese: and Massachusetts With the help of… Representative, Presley here, managed to rewrite Massachusetts law
38:20
Testecleese: So, because they need a new courthouse, right?
38:22
Brian McFadden: Right.
38:23
Testecleese: Massachusetts law has been… We can't do leases over 10 year,
38:30
Testecleese: 10 years, it just costs too much in the long run, or it has to be at least so much, or whatever. So Massachusetts finally just said, we're gonna build our own courthouses.
38:39
Testecleese: That's what we're gonna do. And it's been like that for, like, 30 years, more than 30 years. They went and changed the law so that the same man, this felon.
38:47
Testecleese: Could build the courthouse and.
38:49
Brian McFadden: Of course.
38:50
Testecleese: to the state, but the Commonwealth, but here's what the fun part is.
38:54
Testecleese: He doesn't have to pay to build the courthouse.
38:58
Testecleese: Massachusetts is still gonna pay to do it.
39:02
Brian McFadden: Stupidity.
39:03
Testecleese: They're handing him a wad of cash to then turn around and say.
39:08
Testecleese: Bill us for it, you know?
39:11
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
39:12
Testecleese: And I'm like, how come the people of Massachusetts aren't pissed off about this?
39:17
Testecleese: The answer is probably because they don't know.
39:19
Brian McFadden: Right.
39:21
Testecleese: And that's the thing I've noticed, is you bring this stuff up, and you show it to them, like, well, that's not real. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, this is… she herself said this is what they're doing.
39:29
Testecleese: And why does a federal congresswoman have so much fucking pull?
39:35
Testecleese: within the state.
39:37
Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
39:41
Testecleese: Alright.
39:44
Testecleese: What's going on with COVID?
39:47
Testecleese: Basically, God bless Rian Paul for not dropping it.
39:53
Testecleese: But,
39:55
Testecleese: basically, a bunch of stuff came out from Slack chat or something with the people who directly involved in it, who basically.
40:03
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
40:03
Testecleese: admitted that, yes, they had been making… not even basically, said, we… this is exactly what we were making in the lab, we were told to make exactly this, and it was at the Wuhan lab.
40:12
Brian McFadden: Right.
40:16
Testecleese: And, you know what, we can't get Fauci for it, he's already been pardoned, hasn't he?
40:20
Brian McFadden: I think the statute of limitations ran out on his part, and I don't know.
40:23
Testecleese: Can we… on his pardon?
40:27
Testecleese: I mean, maybe they can get him with, perjuring himself to Congress?
40:32
Brian McFadden: That's probably the most likely thing.
40:34
Testecleese: Y-you think anything's gonna happen?
40:36
Brian McFadden: No.
40:38
Testecleese: No, exactly.
40:41
Testecleese: Oh, it's just frustrating as hell. We all… we knew something was weird about this.
40:47
Testecleese: We were the crazy assholes.
40:50
Testecleese: How many vaccines did you get, Brian?
40:53
Brian McFadden: A million.
40:54
Testecleese: Did you really?
40:56
Brian McFadden: I was in the Navy for 20 years, I got tons.
40:58
Testecleese: No COVID vaccine.
41:00
Brian McFadden: Oh, I got none.
41:02
Testecleese: No, neither did I. No, you're right, I… I have had vaccines. I trust vaccines.
41:08
Brian McFadden: What, the COVID shot's not a vaccine.
41:11
Testecleese: No, it wasn't.
41:13
Testecleese: And that was the big thing with people pointing out.
41:16
Testecleese: It literally rewrites the way your body works.
41:20
Testecleese: basically eugenics, which I'm pretty sure the entire fucking world, except for China, is made illegal, right?
41:28
Testecleese: Okay, I saw this, I got pissed off.
41:31
Testecleese: I'm gonna go, relie… oh, Jesus Christ.
41:34
Brian McFadden: How do you even ride a bike naked?
41:37
Brian McFadden: And… Very carefully.
41:41
Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's…
41:43
Brian McFadden: But in this picture, the people they're showing right naked aren't even naked. They just got their shirts off.
41:52
Brian McFadden: So, I mean… How naked are they really? Naked?
42:00
Brian McFadden: They're… They're like, oh, can they wear little or no clothing?
42:04
Brian McFadden: This bike ride began in 2004 in Canada as a protest against oil dependency. I don't know what the two have to do together, but now it's since expanded into dozens of U.S. cities and 20 countries. I wonder if they're doing this in the Middle East, riding naked through the streets.
42:25
Brian McFadden: And, of course, the riders are scheduled to meet at 4pm at a bar called Handle Bar. It's a bicycle-themed bar.
42:36
Brian McFadden: And there's gonna be costume parties, a large after-party with live entertainment…
42:44
Testecleese: Okay, so it's a bar, it's not…
42:46
Brian McFadden: No, they're actually… there's a map on here where they're riding through the streets of…
42:51
Testecleese: That's what I think.
42:52
Brian McFadden: St. Louis! With little or no clothing on.
42:55
Testecleese: This isn't new, either. I've been doing this for years now.
42:58
Brian McFadden: that since 2004, it started in Canada as a protest against oil dependency.
43:04
Brian McFadden: So you got…
43:04
Testecleese: naked!
43:05
Brian McFadden: Yeah! I don't know what the… the… the… the… I don't know what…
43:10
Testecleese: Well, are they upset that they had to use oil to make their clothes?
43:14
Brian McFadden: I guess, I guess.
43:15
Testecleese: Jeez, it's gonna get fucking cold in Canada if you want!
43:17
Brian McFadden: Meanwhile, they're riding on a bicycle with rubber tires, and, you know…
43:22
Testecleese: And oil and grease on the chain, right?
43:27
Testecleese: These folks don't get it, do they?
43:28
Brian McFadden: No, they don't.
43:30
Testecleese: Oh my god!
43:34
Testecleese: They really don't get it.
43:38
Testecleese: And, I mean, at least the people that say fossil fuels, at least they understand the difference between oil and, like, gasoline.
43:46
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
43:47
Testecleese: Because, like, let's be real, everything alive, for the most part, makes oil, right?
43:52
Brian McFadden: Yup. Yup.
43:54
Testecleese: I mean, where do you think pimples come from? It's the oil can't get through your skin because of, like, an obstruction, you know?
44:00
Brian McFadden: Huh.
44:01
Testecleese: Oh, no, Brian, speaking of, I popped that blister on my foot yesterday.
44:05
Brian McFadden: Nice.
44:06
Testecleese: No, not nice. It was a big, disgusting blister.
44:12
Brian McFadden: You should have saved it for Dr. Pill Pumper.
44:15
Brian McFadden: Bill Popper.
44:17
Testecleese: Dr. Pilbopper?
44:18
Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's on… she's got a show on TLC.
44:21
Brian McFadden: Where's she?
44:21
Testecleese: No, this was a burn blister. I wasn't… I was trying not to pop it.
44:28
Testecleese: Yeah, I was trying my best not to pop that sucker, it was… I was, casting aluminum.
44:35
Testecleese: Because there's no redemption here.
44:38
Testecleese: We don't get a nickel one.
44:40
Brian McFadden: 10 cents, it's 10 cents.
44:42
Testecleese: Oh, I'm sorry, you get a diamond, it's.
44:43
Brian McFadden: I'm sorry.
44:44
Testecleese: Massachusetts, everyone else gets a nickel. Hold on. Yeah. Hawaii, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Vermont.
44:51
Testecleese: Michigan and Oregon do a dime.
44:54
Brian McFadden: Okay.
44:55
Brian McFadden: And Michigan's also got the highest number of recycling their soda cans and bottles and beer cans.
45:04
Testecleese: Yeah.
45:05
Brian McFadden: You don't find a lot of… you don't find a lot of those on the side of the road in Michigan, thrown out of the cars and stuff.
45:10
Testecleese: You did it in Massachusetts for the same reason, because even if you did.
45:13
Testecleese: There was some bum coming around picking him up for the nickels, you know what I mean?
45:18
Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
45:19
Testecleese: But yeah, we don't have that, and we don't have a, even recycling pickup, like trash pickup, but recycling.
45:26
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
45:27
Testecleese: So I was like, fuck it, I'm just gonna melt them down into bars, it cooks out that plastic liner, gets rid of all the air.
45:34
Testecleese: wait until I have, like, I don't know, a half ton…
45:38
Testecleese: 3 quarters, maybe a full ton of aluminum.
45:41
Testecleese: Load the bed of the truck, drive it the hour and a half out.
45:44
Testecleese: to scrap, and sell it, you know what I mean?
45:47
Testecleese: Well, the insulation on the top of my furnace, my, kiln.
45:53
Testecleese: fell apart, and I tried 3 or 4 things to fix it, and then I tried something else, and that didn't work. I'm gonna have to replace the insulation altogether, which… good, I'm gonna.
46:02
Testecleese: So for, like, 2 hours, I just had this thick, like, half… quarter-inch thick plate of steel on top of it to keep the heat inside.
46:09
Testecleese: And every now and then, it was not to glow red-hot, so I would, you know, I would drop it in a 5-gallon bucket of water.
46:15
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
46:16
Testecleese: And… it boiled over and landed on my foot.
46:20
Testecleese: at God knows what temperature, you know what I mean?
46:24
Testecleese: I want to say no more than 212, because it would have been steam.
46:27
Testecleese: I didn't have time to change phases.
46:30
Brian McFadden: Right.
46:30
Testecleese: Either way, it was at least boiling hot water, you know what I mean?
46:34
Testecleese: Oh, and it hurt, it was so bad, I didn't even realize how bad I was hurt at the time. I kept working for, like, 4 hours, and I took off my shoes, like, holy shit!
46:44
Ron Pascoe: Right.
46:45
Testecleese: Oh, oh, Ronnie, this thing is… it was as big as my thumb.
46:50
Testecleese: On the top of my foot. Oh, it was disgusting. I sent it to you, didn't I, Brian?
46:55
Brian McFadden: No, I don't think so.
46:56
Testecleese: Oh, I thought I did, I will send it to you then. Alright. I did send you that picture of that fucking bear in my backyard!
47:02
Brian McFadden: Yep, yep, yep,
47:05
Testecleese: Me, that's a big critter just walking around my yard.
47:09
Testecleese: Yeah, and I was playing my phone game when I find out this bear is in my backyard at the same time, right? So I just go grab my shotgun, and I mention it to my friends to show them the picture. I'm like, oh, don't shoot it. Well, I don't intend to. I'm like, yeah, but if you leave it… I was like, yes, if it leaves me alone, I'm gonna leave it alone, but I'm not gonna fucking fistfight this thing if it decides it's not gonna be cool, you know?
47:29
Brian McFadden: Alright,
47:30
Testecleese: I was like, no, I got a 12-gauge full of double-aught buck.
47:35
Testecleese: And realistically, I probably could have fired off one round into the forest, and it would have taken off, but…
47:42
Testecleese: Why?
47:43
Testecleese: You know, I didn't need to bother the animal, it wasn't bothering me.
47:47
Testecleese: As long as they didn't get into my trash or try to hurt my pets or my family, I was cool with it.
47:55
Testecleese: I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm so upset about this naked bike thing, but apparently
47:58
Testecleese: doing it for 24 years or something, 22 years?
48:01
Brian McFadden: Yup, it started in Canada!
48:03
Brian McFadden: I'm sure they do it in Australia, too!
48:07
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
48:08
Testecleese: Yeah, we've been charging this more than once, I know we have.
48:11
Brian McFadden: I don't know how comfortable it'd be to ride a bike naked, and I feel like something might get hurt.
48:16
Testecleese: That's why I said very carefully.
48:19
Ron Pascoe: There's parts that are not meant to be exposed on bikes, guys.
48:22
Brian McFadden: Exactly!
48:25
Testecleese: Dude, I don't even like wearing boxer shorts on a bike, because things slap back and forth.
48:29
Brian McFadden: You know what I mean? Right,
48:32
Testecleese: It's like, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm gonna wear at least boxer briefs, maybe even whitey-tighties to go out on my bicycle, you know? Well, have you seen the bike shorts these guys wear? Like…
48:42
Brian McFadden: Yeah, they got extra padding in them.
48:43
Testecleese: And everything's all up tight, so they're not going… as your legs go up and down in the.
48:48
Brian McFadden: No shaving.
48:51
Testecleese: Oh, man!
48:53
Testecleese: But yeah, and not just your nuts getting flapped around and your dongs swinging in the breeze.
49:00
Testecleese: You're good!
49:02
Testecleese: They frickin'… no, they, like.
49:04
Brian McFadden: I hope they put, I hope they put…
49:06
Testecleese: What's going on?
49:06
Brian McFadden: Sunscreen on there, you know.
49:09
Testecleese: Oh, that sounds like a bad burn, doesn't it?
49:16
Testecleese: You know, you know, too, that when that happens, that's when, like, the supermodels, or Sydney Sweeney's like, hey, let me suck at your dick. You're like, God, no!
49:27
Testecleese: Yeah.
49:28
Testecleese: Sorry, back in the day, we used to know who the hot girls were. They were the supermodels. There's no such thing these days.
49:34
Testecleese: You know what I mean? Yeah. It used to be, like, Cindy Crawford, Kathy Island,
49:39
Testecleese: Denise Richards. Shoot, even Hanoi Jane was on that list, wasn't she?
49:45
Brian McFadden: Yep.
49:47
Testecleese: And now it's like, and again, it's because stuff's not so centralized.
49:51
Testecleese: But… Gosh.
49:54
Testecleese: Okay, for, Brian, Brian…
49:56
Brian McFadden: Yup.
49:57
Testecleese: I thought last month was Pride Month.
50:00
Brian McFadden: Well, apparently in San Francisco, it's Pride year.
50:03
Testecleese: It's Pride weekend!
50:04
Testecleese: So hold on! An entire fucking month wasn't enough for you, you need an extra weekend.
50:09
Brian McFadden: I couldn't get it scheduled, I couldn't get the block party scheduled into the Pride Month.
50:14
Testecleese: Our military, who died in foreign conflict, only get one day.
50:20
Testecleese: Okay?
50:21
Ron Pascoe: It's ridiculous, isn't it?
50:25
Testecleese: These folks get a month in it, and then San Francisco, they get two extra weeks… two extra weeks. Apparently, they didn't get their permits this year for their ridiculous…
50:34
Brian McFadden: Festivities.
50:35
Testecleese: Swing your dick around block party with a drinkin' in public, and the cops showed down, showed up, like, hey, guys, you guys don't have permits, you can't just shut down the road.
50:45
Brian McFadden: Right.
50:45
Testecleese: And, 20 people got arrested, and 18 of the… 18 charges were brought.
50:51
Brian McFadden: Good. But, but I bet nothing happens to these people.
50:55
Testecleese: No, because they're gonna say that they were, persecuted for, their pride beliefs.
51:01
Testecleese: Because I bet you none of those charges are, being nude in public.
51:07
Brian McFadden: No.
51:07
Ron Pascoe: Nothing's gonna bring you a felony.
51:11
Testecleese: Why do I go to… why do I get in trouble if I jerk up on the subway, right? But these guys can fucking do it in a parade.
51:20
Brian McFadden: That's a very good question.
51:24
Testecleese: Oh, I think Brian looked up the word diarrhea and got the definite, spelling.
51:28
Brian McFadden: ChatGBT, man, ChatGBT!
51:32
Testecleese: Oh, and I'm disappointed.
51:35
Testecleese: But I gotta say, did you guys see that Meatloaf was running for Senate… U.S. Senate out of Maine?
51:42
Brian McFadden: I don't think it's meatloaf.
51:46
Testecleese: Well, Meatloaf's been dead for several years now.
51:48
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
51:48
Testecleese: But Ashley Webb… Looks exactly like meatloaf.
51:55
Testecleese: Did… ugh, all that.
51:56
Brian McFadden: I've seen pictures of her. They talked about her on the Clay and Buck show.
52:00
Testecleese: Not just pictures, I grab.
52:02
Testecleese: This article here actually has,
52:05
Testecleese: Why are you… oh my god, that's just hideous. Why are you qualified? And one of the things this individual said was, because I'm not going to deceive the people.
52:14
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
52:15
Testecleese: the deceit we're getting. I was like, you're a dude!
52:17
Brian McFadden: You're deceiving the people right now!
52:23
Ron Pascoe: He's that in late life.
52:25
Testecleese: Oh my god.
52:26
Audio shared by Testecleese: Two…
52:27
Testecleese: Oh.
52:28
Ron Pascoe: That's a settlement.
52:32
Testecleese: We gotta get you a better signal somehow. We need to get you a satellite phone or something.
52:36
Brian McFadden: Who needs Starlink?
52:37
Ron Pascoe: odd.
52:39
Testecleese: That's exactly what you need is Starling, dude.
52:41
Ron Pascoe: I'm… yeah, I'm just a work…
52:43
Ron Pascoe: The, the, internet here isn't.
52:45
Testecleese: Nice.
52:45
Ron Pascoe: to work.
52:47
Testecleese: Yeah, but that's why you need Starlink, dude, that's fucking satellite shit.
52:51
Testecleese: It's what Brian uses out of Michigan.
52:55
Testecleese: Alright, so I got some audio of the, debate that these guys, these folks did.
53:01
Ron Pascoe: and thus.
53:01
Testecleese: Running for Senate.
53:03
Testecleese: Let's give it a listen.
53:05
Brian McFadden: You got it?
53:07
Testecleese: No, of course I got it muted, hold up, hold up, I got it muted, because I'm a dummy. I muted it to get through the commercials, forgot to unmute it, now, oh my god. This must be Fox, yep, I was like, this must be Fox News, because as soon as you pause the thing, it gets smaller.
53:22
Brian McFadden: Right.
53:22
Audio shared by Testecleese: gender in intersex individual.
53:26
Audio shared by Testecleese: was really attracting a lot of attention for the answers given. Listen.
53:33
Audio shared by Testecleese: Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but didn't run, and then,
53:39
Brian McFadden: That's her qualification for running.
53:41
Audio shared by Testecleese: I ran for office and lost. I think they called it portfolioing.
53:44
Audio shared by Testecleese: By cutting off the pork belly and from all the bills.
53:47
Audio shared by Testecleese: Sure, that would save a lot of money as well. I know she likes pork bellies, but come on.
53:54
Audio shared by Testecleese: Dan, no? Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah. Incredible. Just checking. Just checking, that's 8 for 8 with the candidates. I'm actually on Medicare, and I suppose the biggest thing is, like, I'm just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator.
54:08
Audio shared by Testecleese: Who doesn't want a…
54:11
Testecleese: So…
54:13
Testecleese: I was genuinely hoping this person would win the nomination and win the election, because I don't know if you heard most of what Ashley Webb had to say, besides the goofy highlights, but no, for real, came across sounded like a right-wing conservative, for the most part.
54:28
Brian McFadden: Okay.
54:29
Testecleese: like, talk about immigration, and… don't let biological men compete in women's sports, and I'm intersex, and I'm saying that, and I was like, holy shit!
54:41
Testecleese: Probably why, she didn't… he, she… bi… non-binary, I…
54:46
Testecleese: This person doesn't even claim to be trans. I'm not sure what pronouns I'm supposed to use, Brian!
54:51
Brian McFadden: Alright, I've given up. I don't know.
54:54
Testecleese: That's what I… you know, I'm just going… I'm just gonna use fucking,
54:58
Testecleese: the proper name, I'm gonna refer to in the first person forever, then I'll never be wrong on pronouns, because I'll never use a pronoun.
55:04
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
55:07
Ron Pascoe: Bon of meatloaf.
55:09
Testecleese: He looked just like Meatloaf, I swear to God, that was… and it's funny, I didn't even think of it, but, bearing my, Australian podcast guy I listened to…
55:19
Testecleese: was like, meatloafs, whatever said it! And I was like, oh my fucking god!
55:24
Testecleese: Oh, God.
55:27
Testecleese: Ron, have you checked out Bearing?
55:31
Ron Pascoe: Sorry, Mike?
55:33
Testecleese: Have you checked out Bearing on YouTube?
55:35
Ron Pascoe: I can't hear that.
55:37
Testecleese: I can't hear me.
55:38
Ron Pascoe: Baron.
55:39
Testecleese: Bearing, like, like a ball bearing?
55:45
Testecleese: Like a ball bearing.
55:46
Ron Pascoe: Oh, very good.
55:47
Testecleese: Yeah, but just bearing. Yeah, his thumbnail is like a cartoon bear.
55:53
Testecleese: I think you'll enjoy his work, it's funny, he's…
55:56
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, look at it.
55:56
Testecleese: My wife with them a lot of times, she goes by Sugar Tits.
56:02
Testecleese: I think you'll enjoy his work, it's hilarious, because he's…
56:04
Ron Pascoe: That'd be very.
56:05
Testecleese: very much follows American politics and comments on it.
56:09
Testecleese: That'd be funny if you…
56:10
Ron Pascoe: colleagues in this?
56:11
Testecleese: Oh, and…
56:13
Testecleese: I'd love to see this actual dude, but he's probably some friggin', like, 400-pound… I don't know, whatever, doesn't even matter, but the guy's funny, he really is. He's got that Australian… he gives… he has that Australian, I-don'-give-a-fuck attitude, you know what I mean?
56:25
Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Yeah, turn up when you like.
56:29
Testecleese: Calling people guns.
56:32
Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, you bet.
56:34
Testecleese: But, someone named Troy Jackson ended up getting the nomination to replace Plattner instead of Lindsey Webb. I have no idea who this,
56:43
Testecleese: This guy is… Troy Jackson, I don't… whatever.
56:49
Testecleese: I don't know if he's a nutjob.
56:51
Brian McFadden: I think that just makes it easier for Susan Collins to win re-election.
56:55
Testecleese: Well, fuck Susan Collins!
56:58
Testecleese: No, for real, she… why… she's not… she was one of the ones that won't vote on the SAVE Act.
57:03
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
57:03
Brian McFadden: But are you gonna really get a conservative elected in Maine? A conservative Republican elected in Maine? No.
57:12
Ron Pascoe: He'll be pushing it uphill, Blads.
57:14
Brian McFadden: Would your brother vote for her?
57:17
Brian McFadden: For a conservative?
57:19
Testecleese: My brother's in Vermont, and he won't… he won't vote for anything right of Bernie Sanders.
57:25
Brian McFadden: Maine's not much further away from Vermont.
57:27
Testecleese: He literally… he literally voted for Bernie Sanders for Senate.
57:31
Brian McFadden: There you go.
57:32
Brian McFadden: He probably was on his… he probably went and campaigned for him, too.
57:36
Testecleese: he also.
57:36
Ron Pascoe: At least that's.
57:37
Testecleese: Social welfare and socialism are the same thing.
57:40
Brian McFadden: Okay. Well, he…
57:41
Testecleese: So… Yeah, and you know the difference, don't you?
57:45
Brian McFadden: Yeah, big difference.
57:46
Testecleese: Oh, it's democratic socialism. I was like, yeah, you vote it in, they need to shoot your way out.
57:53
Testecleese: Yeah, oh my god. You know you could vote your way into monarchy, too, right?
57:58
Testecleese: But once you do, you don't get to vote anymore, you know?
58:04
Brian McFadden: Don't you all done.
58:05
Testecleese: Brian!
58:09
Testecleese: What the… oh, what the fuck is this?
58:13
Testecleese: the Associated Press I remember reading this, and… oh, this was about them complaining about USAID cuts,
58:22
Testecleese: And apparently we were paying for, transgender surgery of Nepal… Nepalese people. Folks from Nepal!
58:31
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
58:33
Testecleese: We were helping transition.
58:34
Brian McFadden: Isn't Nepal a Muslim country?
58:38
Testecleese: No, I was like, I was thinking more Hindu, or…
58:41
Brian McFadden: Okay, Hindu, okay.
58:43
Testecleese: or some…
58:44
Brian McFadden: So they're okay, they're okay.
58:45
Testecleese: John Abrahamic.
58:46
Brian McFadden: They're okay with trans people and hitting in the paw.
58:51
Testecleese: Perhaps.
58:52
Ron Pascoe: Hindu as well.
58:52
Testecleese: has all sorts of weird stuff with their gods and their sex, you know what I mean?
58:57
Testecleese: Shit, they wrote the book, didn't they?
59:00
Brian McFadden: Yup.
59:01
Brian McFadden: Literally.
59:05
Testecleese: Hmm.
59:07
Ron Pascoe: Comma.
59:09
Testecleese: It's Kama… it's Kama Sutra.
59:17
Testecleese: Oh, oh, look at this!
59:19
Ron Pascoe: It's a free show.
59:19
Testecleese: shit in… all the free shit in New York.
59:23
Testecleese: has led to, 2.6 extra billion… I'm sorry, $2.6 billion in New York City welfare payments alone.
59:36
Testecleese: That's a 30-year high.
59:38
Testecleese: That's up 71%.
59:45
Ron Pascoe: How many businesses have moved out of New York now because of this stuff?
59:48
Testecleese: Not a ton of businesses yet.
59:50
Ron Pascoe: For the.
59:51
Testecleese: For the most part, the actual individuals are getting themselves out.
59:56
Testecleese: And they'll probably bring their businesses with them once the business is not
1:00:00
Testecleese: making money anymore. If it's still making money, they're still gonna leave it there to operate, you know what I mean?
1:00:06
Testecleese: But, they might go and set up another business somewhere else.
1:00:10
Testecleese: to make more money, and they obviously spend more time worrying about the one that's making more money, you know what I mean?
1:00:16
Testecleese: But, like, even if I'm only… let's just say I'm worth $100 million. If I'm making a half million dollars in a business a year.
1:00:24
Testecleese: net.
1:00:26
Testecleese: Right. I'm gonna let it keep going.
1:00:29
Testecleese: Because I still… it still brought in a half million dollars, if I don't have to be directly involved, you know what I mean?
1:00:36
Testecleese: To the point where it's no longer profitable.
1:00:38
Ron Pascoe: Excuse me.
1:00:39
Testecleese: That's when you shut your… close your doors, or burn it to the fucking ground, like what happened in the 70s in the Bronx with the, the landlords.
1:00:49
Ron Pascoe: Don't get any worse, mate. All he's doing is bloody robbing from Peter to pay Paul. He's just moving money from here over to there.
1:00:56
Ron Pascoe: Imagine what she'd be like in two years' time.
1:01:00
Testecleese: He shut down government pensions, like New York City pensions, to city employees to pay for his buses and everything else.
1:01:09
Testecleese: Yup. And it's like, WHAT!
1:01:11
Testecleese: WHAT!
1:01:11
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
1:01:12
Ron Pascoe: As I see Robin Peter pay Paul, mate, he's moving from there to there, and it's only going to get worse the next two years.
1:01:19
Testecleese: Alright, and now he's demanding more money from New York State, he's demanding money from the federal government, it's like, you said you had a self-sustained utopia that you could operate and run.
1:01:28
Testecleese: I don't… I don't know…
1:01:29
Ron Pascoe: Until the government shops come in.
1:01:32
Testecleese: Plus, did you see he's asking for a 20% pay raise?
1:01:37
Testecleese: What, 2 months?
1:01:39
Brian McFadden: He shouldn't need a pay raise. I mean, Trump doesn't take his pay. Madonna's so rich, he shouldn't take one either.
1:01:46
Testecleese: And that's something I don't think a lot of these folks realize, is Mumdani…
1:01:50
Testecleese: Is not just wealthy himself, but he was born of wealthy parents.
1:01:56
Testecleese: That's where his money came from.
1:01:59
Testecleese: Like, well, we need to tax the rich. He's like, that's the fucking guy you voted for! If he… if he genuinely believed this shit, he would have cut a check to the fucking Treasury.
1:02:08
Testecleese: Because believe it or not, believe it or not, you can actually write a check to the IRS, or even your state treasury, and they will take it and say thank you.
1:02:18
Testecleese: Why should I pay more than everyone else? What the fuck?
1:02:22
Testecleese: change you wanna see in the world, motherfucker. Gandhi up, okay?
1:02:30
Testecleese: Oh my god, and then… and then he swore to God he was going to fucking…
1:02:34
Ron Pascoe: Now you're gonna get bloody arrested.
1:02:36
Testecleese: Yeah! He said he's gonna arrest Netanyahu.
1:02:39
Brian McFadden: Well, you know, somebody from the Trump administration got involved in that, you know.
1:02:43
Testecleese: Oh, yeah.
1:02:44
Brian McFadden: Try that, and see what happens to you, because you'll be breaking the law. And why doesn't he make a big deal about…
1:02:51
Testecleese: Logan app.
1:02:52
Brian McFadden: all the Iranian people that come to the UN General Assembly, you know, all the time.
1:02:59
Testecleese: Well.
1:02:59
Brian McFadden: They're worse than Netanyahu.
1:03:02
Testecleese: This is something New York City does every year for, what, 30 years now? They bring, like, the world's war criminals in together to not be prosecuted, so they can at least give their side of the story.
1:03:14
Testecleese: And he's like, okay, well, you know what I mean…
1:03:16
Testecleese: That sounds fair, I suppose. Right?
1:03:21
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:03:23
Testecleese: But yeah, Jesus Christ.
1:03:25
Testecleese: They call in what Israel's doing a genocide, and don't get me wrong, I think Israel is…
1:03:30
Testecleese: a little loose on the trigger finger. I think they should be a little more precise with their attacks, because they're using mostly American technology, and they could hit what they want to hit.
1:03:39
Testecleese: And they are hitting what they want to hit.
1:03:43
Testecleese: But… Brian.
1:03:46
Testecleese: Ron, did you realize that more Americans were killed on the October 7th attack in Israel than have died in this conflict with Iran?
1:03:54
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:03:56
Brian McFadden: Because they were at the music festival.
1:03:58
Testecleese: Yeah, and everyone's like, oh, there's too many… we're losing too many American lives. Like, meanwhile, you're saying don't fight back when a bunch of Americans got slaughtered for fucking being at a concert.
1:04:06
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:04:07
Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
1:04:08
Ron Pascoe: And unfortunately, the laws are lost by the American soldiers and that.
1:04:13
Ron Pascoe: on the basis that weren't anywhere near Iran.
1:04:19
Testecleese: Yeah, like, Kuwait?
1:04:21
Ron Pascoe: Weren't they… weren't they stating others as… Yeah.
1:04:26
Testecleese: yeah, Saudi Arabia, too. Saudi Arabia's getting real pissed off.
1:04:31
Testecleese: They're trying not to get involved, because it… they're like, the Americans will take care of it, but South Rabia keeps getting hit.
1:04:38
Testecleese: And what, they just had one of their cargo tankers hit, didn't they? The oil tankers?
1:04:43
Testecleese: by drone.
1:04:44
Ron Pascoe: The Hooties or something? Wasn't the Hoodies got them?
1:04:46
Testecleese: Right, yes!
1:04:47
Ron Pascoe: She has a hoodie, but…
1:04:48
Testecleese: If Saudi Arabia gets involved, they will not keep the dogs on a leash.
1:04:54
Ron Pascoe: It's not… yeah, mate, look, this is the thing. Once Saudi Arabia gets involved, you're going to have everyone else involved, mate.
1:05:03
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, Kuwait?
1:05:05
Testecleese: Egypt.
1:05:05
Ron Pascoe: all these other countries around there that's got hit by Iran, Egypt, yep.
1:05:09
Ron Pascoe: They've got a pact, they've got a Middle Eastern pact, too.
1:05:13
Testecleese: And that's the thing, is people don't understand where Egypt stands in the world. For some reason.
1:05:18
Testecleese: They just see Egypt, oh, Islamic. It's like, yes, they are, they are very Islamic, and they are very, very conservative, Muslims.
1:05:26
Brian McFadden: Don't they have… they… aren't they a secular… Government, though?
1:05:33
Testecleese: I believe… I believe so, but I'm not sure. I believe it's not against the rules to worship a different god than theirs.
1:05:40
Brian McFadden: I mean, I know it's predominantly Muslim, but I think that… It's not, like, the…
1:05:46
Testecleese: It's… it's not theocratic.
1:05:47
Brian McFadden: Yes, exactly.
1:05:49
Testecleese: Yeah, but that's like saying, The United States doesn't have an official religion, but
1:05:54
Testecleese: Historically, it's been a Christian nation.
1:05:58
Testecleese: But that's because it was made up of Christians, you know what I mean?
1:06:00
Brian McFadden: Right, Quakers, mainly.
1:06:02
Testecleese: Dick!
1:06:03
Testecleese: Quakers, even Mennonites, you know.
1:06:08
Brian McFadden: Quakers and Mennonites are, like.
1:06:11
Testecleese: Almost identical, yeah.
1:06:14
Testecleese: That's what gets me, too, is we hear all these folks, like, the Founding Fathers would be so upset if they came and saw what was happening today with these voting things. And I was like, you're right, if they woke up today, they'd be like, what the fuck, you letting Catholics vote?
1:06:27
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
1:06:32
Testecleese: That would piss him off enough, let alone… you just walk across the border and you get a vote? You don't own land, you're not paying tax, you shouldn't vote.
1:06:40
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:06:42
Testecleese: I don't care if you're a citizen!
1:06:43
Testecleese: You don't own land! You have no skin in the game!
1:06:48
Testecleese: Here you go, Brian, here's a way to fix… here's a way to fix the voting issue.
1:06:52
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:06:53
Testecleese: You get to vote.
1:06:55
Testecleese: But that puts you in a lottery.
1:06:58
Testecleese: Every time a new vote comes around, no matter… state, county, federal.
1:07:04
Testecleese: The lottery happens, and the winner of the lottery is publicly executed.
1:07:10
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:07:11
Testecleese: So, sure, you can vote!
1:07:13
Brian McFadden: That sounds like,
1:07:15
Testecleese: But you…
1:07:15
Brian McFadden: Hunger Games type of thing.
1:07:17
Testecleese: Type, it was, an old episode of The Sliders way back in the day, when you were allowed to… you could go to the ATM and take out as much cash as you wanted, but each dollar you took out put another raffle ticket in for execution. So there was infinite money, but the more money you just took out.
1:07:35
Testecleese: We're gonna kill someone today, and who's it gonna be, you know?
1:07:39
Testecleese: It was funny, because people were… he was pulling them away at the ATM, like, holy crap. And they're like, oh, you're so brave, thank you so much for taking up all the risk for all the rest of us. They're like, what?
1:07:48
Brian McFadden: Oh, I do remember that episode now, yeah, Slider, yeah, I was a fan of it, I was a fan, yeah.
1:07:55
Testecleese: Yeah, he's what? They bounce through… they're like, basically a portal guard and run through.
1:07:58
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:07:59
Testecleese: mentions, right?
1:08:00
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:08:00
Testecleese: Yeah.
1:08:02
Testecleese: But yeah, that's what inspired this idea. You get a raffle ticket, and…
1:08:07
Testecleese: Whoever wins the raffle gets executed.
1:08:10
Testecleese: This might reduce people who are just passively angry from voting, you know what I mean?
1:08:16
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:08:20
Testecleese: Alright.
1:08:21
Testecleese: But yeah, anyway, Mom Donnie,
1:08:23
Testecleese: has backed off of his wanting to turn Netanyahu into the, ICC.
1:08:30
Testecleese: Because apparently a whole bunch of people told me, like, you can't…
1:08:33
Brian McFadden: You can't do that.
1:08:35
Testecleese: You're gonna end up in prison like Peter Navarro.
1:08:38
Testecleese: Right?
1:08:38
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:08:39
Testecleese: It was beating Navarro, wasn't it?
1:08:42
Testecleese: Yeah. For a Logan Act violation. And that's the same thing we brought up recently, when he tried to set up a friggin', like, meeting with, like, the Cuban ambassador.
1:08:50
Testecleese: at a UN conference, like, no, you can't do that!
1:08:56
Testecleese: I don't know why these guys think they have the authority.
1:08:59
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, yeah, they knocked it on there pretty quick, that's nice.
1:09:02
Testecleese: What authority does…
1:09:04
Brian McFadden: He's the mayor of New York, he has all kinds of authority.
1:09:08
Testecleese: Yeah, but that gives him the authority to freaking make arrests for the International Criminal Court that the United States doesn't even recognize?
1:09:15
Brian McFadden: He wants us to recognize it.
1:09:18
Testecleese: Okay, so can I just go arrest Netanyahu… I'm sorry, can I just go arrest Mamdani and turn him over to the fucking Ku Klux Klan?
1:09:25
Testecleese: For, for trial?
1:09:27
Testecleese: Sure. The federal government recognized it just the same, you know what I mean?
1:09:37
Testecleese: Yeah, I saw videos recently of a whole bunch of people comparing him to Jesus.
1:09:41
Testecleese: I'm like, you know he's Muslim, right?
1:09:44
Testecleese: Like, he doesn't think Jesus is God. Actually, he thinks the fact that you say Jesus is God means that you're a blasphemer.
1:09:52
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:09:52
Testecleese: Because Jesus was a prophet.
1:09:57
Testecleese: it's just fascinating to watch these people, and they're, like, crying because they're so inspired. I'm like, yeah…
1:10:03
Testecleese: Just like Bernie Sanders, like, oh, so what, people are lining up for food? That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing!
1:10:09
Testecleese: No, it's not!
1:10:12
Testecleese: Begging the government for your daily ration is not a good thing.
1:10:20
Testecleese: Alright, Brian, this one here…
1:10:23
Testecleese: got me… because how many times have I said recently that I don't think most of this terrorism is real? Because if they actually wanted to harm people, there's way better ways than a frickin' semi-automatic rifle, or…
1:10:34
Testecleese: A gasoline bag.
1:10:36
Brian McFadden: Huh.
1:10:37
Testecleese: This, illegal alien from India.
1:10:41
Testecleese: was bused with $3 million in tungsten and powder.
1:10:46
Brian McFadden: Okay. Cool.
1:10:47
Testecleese: This doesn't mean much to most people, and I use tungsten to weld.
1:10:53
Testecleese: But when I grind tungsten to a sharp tip.
1:10:56
Testecleese: to do my TEG welding with.
1:10:59
Testecleese: I wear a respirator, and not just a dust mask, a full-on respirator, and eye protection that's sealed.
1:11:04
Testecleese: Tungsten is radioactive to the point where it's actually an issue.
1:11:09
Testecleese: Not… not like bananas are radioactive, but, like, it's actually, like, mmm…
1:11:13
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:11:14
Testecleese: Don't be breathing in the powder, you know what I mean? Right.
1:11:18
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:11:18
Testecleese: $3 million… I'm sorry.
1:11:21
Testecleese: Yeah, $3 million in tungsten powder. I can't imagine how many pounds of this was, but if you went up onto, like, a New York State City,
1:11:31
Testecleese: High-rise, and just dumped it off the side.
1:11:34
Testecleese: How much of that crap would people be breathing in and being irradiated from the inside out?
1:11:40
Brian McFadden: All of them.
1:11:41
Testecleese: Million people are gonna end up getting horrible cancer, lung cancer, eye cancer, throat cancer.
1:11:48
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:11:49
Testecleese: In the next couple of years. This is exactly the kind of shit I was talking about, where if you actually want to hurt people, there's way better ways than shooting into a fucking crowd.
1:11:59
Testecleese: And I'm not saying don't… don't do that, I just…
1:12:03
Testecleese: These people are either dumb, they can't plan ahead, Or… Or they're fucking lackeys.
1:12:11
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:12:12
Testecleese: This woman had a plan, and it seems like she knew what she was doing. I don't know what she was gonna do with tungsten powder, but what would you do with tungsten powder?
1:12:22
Ron Pascoe: poor night.
1:12:24
Testecleese: What's that?
1:12:27
Testecleese: I mean, I can think of a.
1:12:29
Ron Pascoe: It's a poison.
1:12:29
Testecleese: A lot of different.
1:12:30
Ron Pascoe: nut.
1:12:30
Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, you could poison a lot of people.
1:12:33
Testecleese: Even moving that shit around's gonna make a bunch of it airborne.
1:12:40
Testecleese: tongues, and like I said, I didn't just wear a respirator.
1:12:43
Ron Pascoe: Tourism.
1:12:43
Testecleese: But the machine I use…
1:12:46
Testecleese: The machine I use to grind tungsten has a vacuum in it that pulls the particles inside of it to protect you from it, too.
1:12:54
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:12:57
Testecleese: By the way, natural… hardest natural…
1:12:59
Ron Pascoe: It's too embarrassing.
1:13:00
Testecleese: upstairs.
1:13:00
Ron Pascoe: It's the best way to do that.
1:13:01
Testecleese: diamonds.
1:13:04
Testecleese: Say again?
1:13:05
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, it's pretty… like I said, mass… terrorism, that's not about murder. Terrorism's about getting fear to gain an advantage.
1:13:16
Ron Pascoe: to say.
1:13:16
Testecleese: Yes, that's exactly what it is. It's terrorism, because you want to instill a fear
1:13:21
Testecleese: And people that this could happen to them, too.
1:13:26
Testecleese: And even if it takes how long? Like, I'm… we're still hearing about the fallout of the people that were involved in 9-11 to save lives, with the horrible diseases they're dealing with.
1:13:37
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:13:39
Testecleese: And, what was that? Jeez, that was 25 years ago. This is the 25th anniversary.
1:13:43
Brian McFadden: It is the 25th anniversary, yeah.
1:13:45
Testecleese: Whoa!
1:13:46
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
1:13:48
Brian McFadden: mold of dirt.
1:13:48
Testecleese: Graduated college who weren't alive when this happened.
1:13:54
Testecleese: Whoa.
1:13:55
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, they've got, yeah, they've got a name Dan's Mayor.
1:13:59
Brian McFadden: I bet there'll be big celebrations with Madonna as mayor.
1:14:03
Testecleese: Yeah, but I got a feeling it's gonna be the celebrations Hassan Piker will do, because he actually said we deserved 9-11.
1:14:10
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
1:14:12
Testecleese: Yeah, see, even the repeat offender over here knows who Hassan Piker is.
1:14:18
Testecleese: Brian refuses to listen to the other side.
1:14:20
Brian McFadden: I don't… I don't use… I don't do YouTube. I don't…
1:14:24
Testecleese: He's… he's on… he's on Spotify, he's on…
1:14:27
Testecleese: Everywhere, every major thing you want. You can get him on iHeartRadio if you want. He goes on frickin'.
1:14:32
Brian McFadden: I can't do iHeartRadio because I can't do 5 million commercials on iHeartRadio. There's more commercials than there is actual content on iHeartRadio.
1:14:39
Testecleese: He's saying that he's been on MSNBC, he's been on CNN, he's even been on Fox News.
1:14:46
Testecleese: I don't know how you don't recognize the guy's name, at least. Besides me bringing him up last week, you know? But…
1:14:54
Testecleese: It's alright, it's alright.
1:14:56
Testecleese: This was an… this was the other Michigan one that I moved down to immigration, because we had enough Michigan stuff. The guy's name was Ruby Garcia?
1:15:04
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:15:05
Testecleese: Almost, alright.
1:15:08
Testecleese: Ruby Garcia was the one that was killed.
1:15:11
Brian McFadden: convicted killer. He's suing the Trump administration for $75 million.
1:15:17
Testecleese: Brandon…
1:15:17
Brian McFadden: Workmanship.
1:15:18
Testecleese: e-tay.
1:15:19
Brian McFadden: He wanted citizenship from Trump.
1:15:21
Testecleese: Yeah, he wants $75 million of public apology and citizenship because Trump used him as an example of the issues with illegal immigration in his campaign.
1:15:30
Brian McFadden: Yeah, I don't think he's gonna get any of those things.
1:15:33
Testecleese: Y-yeah, why is he still in the country to sue us?
1:15:39
Brian McFadden: Because he's in prison.
1:15:41
Brian McFadden: He's serving his time.
1:15:44
Testecleese: You know, I understand that, but why bother? Why are we wasting our money incarcerating this man, instead of just going, go back to wherever the fuck you're from?
1:15:53
Testecleese: Go home!
1:15:58
Testecleese: Trimony!
1:16:00
Testecleese: Yeah, he's not getting citizenship, fuck you.
1:16:04
Ron Pascoe: Probably nothing, mate. Isn't it illegal to get from crimes and that?
1:16:08
Ron Pascoe: You can't make money from it.
1:16:12
Testecleese: Well, this wouldn't be him making money off of the crime, it would be making him make money off the defamation after the fact.
1:16:19
Testecleese: But you're right, you can't, like, you can't make videos of you committing a crime and get paid.
1:16:25
Ron Pascoe: Go ahead.
1:16:26
Ron Pascoe: Okay.
1:16:27
Ron Pascoe: Well, you can't.
1:16:28
Testecleese: This isn't…
1:16:28
Ron Pascoe: uploaded.
1:16:30
Testecleese: Yeah, this isn't him making money off of the crime itself, it's after the aftermath. That's like suing…
1:16:34
Testecleese: That's like suing the state for beating you near… next to death for stealing a candy bar. Right. You're allowed to do that.
1:16:41
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
1:16:47
Testecleese: But this guy's a piece of garbage,
1:16:50
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:16:51
Testecleese: Who knows, though, what's going on in Michigan? Like, I…
1:16:54
Testecleese: It keeps seeming like Michigan wants to pull their heads out of their asses and become successful again.
1:17:00
Brian McFadden: I'm going to vote here, and next… I can go vote starting tomorrow, early voting, primaries.
1:17:08
Brian McFadden: I gotta vote for my Republican, senatorial and governor candidates.
1:17:15
Testecleese: Gubernatorial.
1:17:16
Brian McFadden: Yeah, whatever.
1:17:22
Testecleese: Yeah, it's f… It's funny, because I get to vote for state, and county.
1:17:27
Testecleese: But, like, there's no town halls, there's no city council.
1:17:32
Testecleese: Let's… County?
1:17:35
Testecleese: I don't know enough of what's going on county-wise to even start figuring that out.
1:17:40
Testecleese: Because let's be real, The big difference from county to county, for the most part.
1:17:46
Testecleese: is how much money's put into education, or who picks up the trash. You know what I mean? For the most part. For the most part.
1:17:56
Testecleese: Meanwhile, like, Massachusetts, I say Massachusetts.
1:18:00
Testecleese: But Massachusetts is an example. Some counties, they'll allow you to have all sorts of, like, firearms and stuff, but it's still against Massachusetts law, you know what I mean?
1:18:08
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:18:09
Testecleese: So, like, yeah, so if the sheriff's deputy comes and gets you instead of the town police, which I don't think there's any incorporated land in Massachusetts.
1:18:18
Testecleese: Like, I… I… I think I saw a Plymouth County… the only time I ever saw a Plymouth County police, or deputies.
1:18:25
Testecleese: was tr… Prison trans… prisoner transport to and from the, the prison in Plymouth.
1:18:33
Testecleese: That was basically all they did. They weren't making… if I call the cops.
1:18:39
Testecleese: the sheriff is showing up. There's no other… there's no one else to show up. Oh, state police might show up, too, if they think they can get there quicker, or, you know, nearly as quick.
1:18:50
Testecleese: But yeah, like, Webster Springs isn't gonna show up, because I'm not part of Webster Springs. They will… they do send fire trucks out here, though, which is pretty cool.
1:19:01
Testecleese: Okay.
1:19:03
Testecleese: Tallarico, I guess, made a bunch of comments about…
1:19:08
Testecleese: the detention centers in Texas for illegal immigrants.
1:19:12
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:19:13
Testecleese: I can't remember exactly what they were, Oh, yeah, okay.
1:19:18
Testecleese: He was bitchin' about the… Oh, this was in 2019.
1:19:23
Testecleese: He was bitching about the conditions that these illegal immigrants were in.
1:19:27
Testecleese: That's been… put… that's been put on Trump.
1:19:32
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:19:33
Testecleese: Trump wasn't president in 2019, that was at the end of Biden's term of office.
1:19:38
Brian McFadden: No, that's…
1:19:40
Testecleese: Oh, boy.
1:19:41
Brian McFadden: It's irrelevant. It's all Trump's fault. Everything's Trump's fault.
1:19:45
Ron Pascoe: Yep. Trump's gotta breathe, and it's his fault.
1:19:49
Testecleese: Well, check this out! Obama's, director of, ice?
1:19:56
Testecleese: Got a medal for the way he handled, the border crisis, right?
1:20:02
Brian McFadden: Right. He did a great job.
1:20:04
Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, and the director of ICE under Trump is a Nazi. What's fucking crazy, it's the same guy!
1:20:13
Testecleese: Tom Homan!
1:20:18
Testecleese: And like you said, Brian, it doesn't matter, it's Trump, therefore it's bad.
1:20:21
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
1:20:21
Testecleese: Have you seen these videos of these guys? They go up and be like, oh, so what do you… they ask people, like, what their.
1:20:26
Brian McFadden: Yeah, man on the street, they do it all the time.
1:20:29
Testecleese: Yeah, and then they say it's a Trump quote, but they quote Obama or Hillary.
1:20:34
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:20:35
Testecleese: Like, oh, only a Nazi would ever say that. There's no way anyone else would ever say that. I'm like, well, if this was Obama, here's him saying that. And they're like, well, you know, it's a little different, because, like, no, no, no, no, no, you can't say only a Nazi would say that, then say, except for the one guy that you showed me that actually said it, you know?
1:20:50
Ron Pascoe: what's his name, James Klug or something that goes and does that as well?
1:20:54
Testecleese: And, Ami Horowitz, I love that guy.
1:20:58
Ron Pascoe: I watch that James Klug, mate, he's awesome. He gives a really good bloody…
1:21:01
Ron Pascoe: like, opposition conversation to it. And he's not about, like.
1:21:07
Ron Pascoe: bringing people down is like saying, hey, well, this is this… this is actually what's going on, and he gives proof to the fact what he's talking about.
1:21:13
Testecleese: Yeah. I know what you're talking about. I've seen the guys work, and it's interesting you say that, because, there's this Australian…
1:21:21
Testecleese: Born, he was a skateboarder.
1:21:25
Testecleese: who was getting, P1 visas to the United States. P1 means recognized top-tier athlete on the planet, okay?
1:21:34
Testecleese: So, this guy was pretty good at skateboarding. Anyway, he was doing that, he got 2 of those, and they last, like, 6 years each.
1:21:41
Testecleese: That's great!
1:21:42
Testecleese: before he got an actual, like, permanent green card to stay in the country, now he's an MMA fighter.
1:21:48
Testecleese: But he was on a Tim Pool show the other night.
1:21:52
Testecleese: and… This guy didn't believe a lot of the shit.
1:21:56
Testecleese: That, that, Tim was putting out, and, Alex Stein, I don't know if you know who he is.
1:22:00
Ron Pascoe: Yep. He's a good store.
1:22:02
Testecleese: He's a… yeah, he's a… yeah, yeah.
1:22:04
Testecleese: He's like, I just don't believe this shit.
1:22:07
Testecleese: And he goes, okay, well, what if I… and he brings up a picture of, a giant forklift pulling up the barbed wire in Texas, and then all the illegal immigrants running underneath.
1:22:17
Testecleese: And he goes, what if I told you Biden ordered this to happen, to allow all these people into the country? He's like, I would say that didn't happen, you're a liar. And he scrolled back up to the headline, Supreme Court says Biden, yada yada, and he was like, holy shit, I had no idea.
1:22:33
Testecleese: This guy had no… this guy had no idea that, okay, maybe technically these guys can't vote, and let's assume they're not voting.
1:22:40
Testecleese: The sheer fact that you're pumping them in this country means you're creating extra congressional seats, which means more votes in certain areas.
1:22:48
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
1:22:49
Testecleese: So you… you pump them into a red area, so now it only takes 5,000 voters to cover an entire…
1:22:56
Testecleese: District full of illegal aliens.
1:23:01
Testecleese: This is… I brought this up right at the beginning of this whole immigration thing.
1:23:05
Testecleese: And I'm not saying Brian or you guys told me I was wrong, I'm just saying I made a big deal about this a long time ago.
1:23:13
Testecleese: And people are still worried about the…
1:23:15
Testecleese: what was it, 65,000 it's up to now, illegally registered aliens in New Jersey?
1:23:23
Testecleese: Because it came out originally, it was, like, 6,000… no, it turned out 6,000 or something like that were registered, a couple hundred voted, and now the number's up to, like, 27,000 that are registered.
1:23:37
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, there we go. That's actually the new fucking… I'm getting good at this.
1:23:44
Testecleese: It's actually the next article here, the New Jersey, And this happened right after…
1:23:51
Testecleese: Trump came out with his.
1:23:52
Brian McFadden: He wanted, he wanted, yeah, he came out with his little, you know, speech that ABC and one other network wouldn't carry.
1:23:59
Brian McFadden: That's what…
1:24:00
Testecleese: my mind! We're not gonna play it for you, because it's so dangerous, so we're gonna watch it for you and tell you what you should know. Right.
1:24:07
Testecleese: I literally just said, you're gonna make sure I don't hear what he actually said.
1:24:10
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:24:10
Testecleese: You're making sure what I'm getting is hearsay at this point.
1:24:14
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:24:16
Testecleese: Does… Does your average ABC or CNN viewer realize that's hearsay?
1:24:22
Brian McFadden: No, of course not.
1:24:24
Testecleese: Like, that's not even admissible in a court of law.
1:24:30
Brian McFadden: Nope.
1:24:32
Testecleese: Well, Johnny told me… It's like, why don't we hear it directly from Jimmy?
1:24:37
Testecleese: Oh, you don't want to hear what Jimmy said, you better hear what Johnny said instead.
1:24:41
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
1:24:44
Testecleese: Yeah, and Trump, exactly, he did his big speech, he's like, well, why else… why would you stop us from looking at it and not sign the SAVE Act unless you're trying to do…
1:24:52
Testecleese: Break the rules and do this wrong.
1:24:55
Testecleese: Oh, he's full of shit, and then New Jersey's like, see? Look at all these illegal immigrants.
1:24:58
Brian McFadden: They're calling it a… they're calling it a software glitch that caused these people to… even though they said they weren't eligible to vote when they got their driver's license, because of the motor voter law that everybody thought was the greatest thing, just to slice bread, where you could go in and get your driver's license and register to vote at the same time.
1:25:17
Testecleese: It is convenient. It is convenient.
1:25:19
Brian McFadden: the system did it for you. They got all these people registered to vote that weren't eligible to vote.
1:25:25
Testecleese: Yeah, here's the thing, did you hear any comment from the, the company that runs the software?
1:25:31
Brian McFadden: They said it's not their fault, they didn't do it.
1:25:33
Testecleese: They said that's not what happened at all. Right. Like, someone had to physically click OK every single time.
1:25:41
Ron Pascoe: Yep.
1:25:42
Ron Pascoe: Did you hear about the computer glitch that walks into a New Jersey voting booth?
1:25:45
Brian McFadden: Oh, what happened to it?
1:25:47
Ron Pascoe: It voted 5,000.
1:25:49
Testecleese: Time to demonstrate.
1:25:53
Ron Pascoe: That's exactly right, what happened.
1:25:56
Testecleese: Okay, guys, so we're no longer…
1:25:58
Ron Pascoe: Yeah, how does that.
1:25:59
Testecleese: We're gonna call it a computer glitch, okay?
1:26:03
Ron Pascoe: And every time someone says it, we'll have a skull.
1:26:08
Testecleese: Yeah, and I saw…
1:26:09
Ron Pascoe: What type of drink they'll be?
1:26:11
Testecleese: Scott Jenkins was talking to, obviously, he's CNN, right?
1:26:16
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:26:17
Testecleese: I was talking to some of these folks, and like… like, oh, it was only this many, and he goes, what do you consider… he's like, oh, it's not widespread. What do you consider widespread?
1:26:26
Testecleese: She's like, no, for real, what do you… and she's like, well, you know, then she starts talking about Trump. She's like, what the fuck does Trump have to do with any of this? What do you consider widespread? She goes, what do you consider widespread? And, obviously, he brought up the whole, well, you said it first, so I want to know what you mean by that.
1:26:40
Brian McFadden: Right, and she won't answer.
1:26:42
Testecleese: And she doubled down, wanting to know what he said. I think one! One! This is… this is supposed to be a zero-tolerance thing, like guns in elementary schools, you know?
1:26:54
Testecleese: Oh my god.
1:26:56
Testecleese: They got… they got busted, man. They had him by the short and curlies.
1:27:01
Testecleese: And they managed to say, yeah, it's not a big deal. And this is something we've brought up before on the show, often, Brian.
1:27:06
Testecleese: First, it's not happening, so just shut the fuck up. Then, okay, it's happening, but only a little bit. You know, it's not a big deal. And then, yes, it is happening, and it's a good thing. There should be more of it.
1:27:19
Testecleese: It's always how it works.
1:27:22
Ron Pascoe: Sorry, lads, I've got to get back to work, but, it's been a pleasure. Sorry about computer glitches.
1:27:27
Testecleese: We just need to get you a better connection somehow.
1:27:30
Ron Pascoe: Oh, it's not good connection up here, where I'm at work, but I'll work on it. I'll definitely work on it.
1:27:36
Testecleese: Alright, man, be safe.
1:27:38
Brian McFadden: Later.
1:27:38
Ron Pascoe: Take care of those computer glitches, boys.
1:27:41
Testecleese: Yes, yes.
1:27:45
Testecleese: Oh, here we go.
1:27:48
Testecleese: brian, I… I'm gonna… relieve myself.
1:27:53
Brian McFadden: Alright.
1:27:53
Testecleese: fresh one, but this is about, Spanberger, right? Or not?
1:28:00
Testecleese: Oh, this is about New Jersey refusing to… still refusing to turn over their records after they got admitted that they…
1:28:07
Brian McFadden: Hamburgers, Virginia!
1:28:10
Brian McFadden: Oh, no, okay, we are… we're done, yeah, no, yeah, even though the New Jersey governor came out and said, yeah, we're… we've got this software glitch, quote-unquote, going on, we're still not gonna turn over our voting records to the federal government, because there's nothing to see here.
1:28:34
Brian McFadden: And then we got, the Department of Homeland Security blaming, Governor Spanberger's new sanctuary policies.
1:28:42
Brian McFadden: for a toddler killing that just happened here recently in the state of Virginia, where I'm currently at in the moment.
1:28:53
Brian McFadden: She's been… she's been,
1:28:59
Brian McFadden: rescinding Governor Youngkin's orders as fast as she can find them, and which cut a cooperative tie between ICE and Virginia State Police, fish and game wardens, and state correction officials.
1:29:13
Brian McFadden: And so this Mexican national… Ron… Raul Genesis Ortiz Morton, four-letter, four-name suspect here.
1:29:23
Brian McFadden: is accused of sexually assaulting a toddler! A toddler!
1:29:28
Testecleese: To death!
1:29:30
Brian McFadden: To death.
1:29:32
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:29:33
Testecleese: Raped a toddler to death.
1:29:36
Brian McFadden: And got away with it, because ICE can't find him to deport him now.
1:29:41
Testecleese: Wha… Of all the people
1:29:43
Testecleese: See, here's the thing is, the big argument these guys bring up about this deportation thing is, he said he's only gonna deport the worst of the worst. It's like, yeah, and that's what he's going for, and you're defending them over and over. This man… he's like, he's a human trafficker. This man, he's a murderer. This man, he's a rapist!
1:30:00
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:30:00
Testecleese: I heard, like, fucking Tim Walls!
1:30:03
Testecleese: Barden's… what was it, a murderer? Or… he murdered a child or something?
1:30:08
Brian McFadden: Huh.
1:30:10
Testecleese: And he pardoned the guy so that he wouldn't get deported.
1:30:13
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:30:15
Testecleese: Like, that is the worst. What… if that's… if murder… if raping a kid to death…
1:30:20
Testecleese: It's not the worst of the worst. Brian, please tell me what is.
1:30:25
Brian McFadden: I have no idea. That's pretty… pretty despicable. Even prisoners in prison don't put up with that kind of crap.
1:30:31
Testecleese: And I'm surprised he didn't get killed in prison for that, honestly.
1:30:35
Testecleese: Like, for real. He must have been in solitary confinement under, protective custody the whole time.
1:30:43
Testecleese: And you know exactly what I'm talking about, because like you said, even prisoners don't put up
1:30:47
Testecleese: With you fucking up kids like this.
1:30:49
Brian McFadden: Nero.
1:30:50
Testecleese: A toddler, man? What, you such a fucking pussy, you gotta pick on the weakest person you could find?
1:30:56
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:30:57
Testecleese: No, I-I hope I get a chance to meet this man.
1:31:00
Testecleese: And, not in a gay way.
1:31:02
Brian McFadden: Right?
1:31:04
Testecleese: I will rape this man to death.
1:31:08
Testecleese: You know, maybe it'll be my Louisville slugger, who knows?
1:31:12
Testecleese: Is it, it, it… I mean, at least he's in prison? Or… WAS in prison.
1:31:20
Brian McFadden: Nope.
1:31:20
Testecleese: How do you get out of prison for raping a toddler to death?
1:31:23
Brian McFadden: I don't know…
1:31:25
Testecleese: Like, what's the sentence for that? How much time do you serve in prison in Virginia for raping a toddler to death?
1:31:32
Brian McFadden: He probably has his voting rights back already, too.
1:31:36
Testecleese: I love how you call them voting rights.
1:31:44
Testecleese: I love how people say rights, as if it's, like.
1:31:48
Testecleese: A thing, when they just… just saying it makes it a thing.
1:31:52
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:31:53
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
1:31:53
Brian McFadden: It makes us think alright.
1:31:56
Testecleese: Well, it's like, oh, everyone has a right to healthcare. I was like, what the fuck does that mean? Yeah, no, you're right. You are allowed to go get healthcare. No one's stopping you. The government will not stop you from going to the hospital. You are right.
1:32:07
Testecleese: No, no, it should be given to us by the government. But where the fuck are they gonna give me my gun?
1:32:12
Testecleese: You know?
1:32:13
Brian McFadden: Huh.
1:32:14
Brian McFadden: Not right.
1:32:17
Testecleese: Yeah, mine's actually listed, versus fucking free Medicaid for all is not listed.
1:32:22
Brian McFadden: Free Medicaid for all.
1:32:25
Brian McFadden: Oh…
1:32:26
Testecleese: I couldn't find how long, he got… Sentenced to? No big deal.
1:32:32
Testecleese: I'm hoping it was at least 20 years, but…
1:32:35
Testecleese: That sounds like the kind of thing you should die in prison for.
1:32:38
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:32:40
Testecleese: Oof.
1:32:43
Testecleese: Carl challenges Warner on Virginia ID vote.
1:32:48
Testecleese: Another Save Act debate.
1:32:50
Testecleese: Oh, boy.
1:32:51
Brian McFadden: So I gotta pass.
1:32:53
Testecleese: No, and you know what? I'm actually getting really pissed off at Trump about this.
1:32:59
Testecleese: No, he needs to climb up Thune's ass.
1:33:02
Testecleese: And get some shit done, because he got, what was it, Massey?
1:33:06
Testecleese: primaried out.
1:33:08
Testecleese: I think it was Massey, wasn't it? That he got primaried out because he didn't like him anymore?
1:33:11
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:33:13
Testecleese: This guy is like, oh, we don't have the votes. Well… First of all.
1:33:20
Testecleese: rally them up, make the votes happen, that's your goddamn job, is what he does. Second of all.
1:33:25
Testecleese: The big issue is the parliamentarian, right?
1:33:30
Testecleese: Does he know he's allowed to literally just fire the parliamentarian, put a new one in?
1:33:35
Brian McFadden: Probably not.
1:33:37
Testecleese: This is… again, then don't take these positions in higher government, these extra jobs, you know what I mean? What is he, the, the majority,
1:33:47
Brian McFadden: He's the majority leader.
1:33:49
Testecleese: Yeah, I wanted to say whip for a second.
1:33:51
Brian McFadden: It's the President of the Senate. He's the president of the Senate.
1:33:54
Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, that's not the right one.
1:33:56
Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, there you go, President of the Senate. He can literally fire the parliamentarian, which is amazing! Most Americans have no idea what a parliamentarian is, what they do, or who it is.
1:34:08
Testecleese: Right. Right? It's a DC representative, isn't it?
1:34:12
Testecleese: Or…
1:34:13
Brian McFadden: No, parliamentarian is just a title, it's a… it's a position, you know, they're the ones that, you know, make the rules in the Senate, basically.
1:34:23
Testecleese: Yeah, and I believe right now it's a DC…
1:34:25
Testecleese: Representative who doesn't get a vote.
1:34:28
Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
1:34:28
Testecleese: Like, that's why they're in that position, is to give them some kind of authority. You can just say, no, you're out, and put himself in the position.
1:34:35
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
1:34:37
Brian McFadden: Huh.
1:34:38
Testecleese: And yeah, and then Susan Collins, and it's just… and this is what gets me, is every Democrat's voting… this is what makes me think Trump doesn't want it done. And the Republicans don't want it done, the Democrats don't want it done.
1:34:50
Testecleese: Because, was it something like 80% of Americans agree that you should have some form of identification to prove you're a citizen?
1:34:56
Brian McFadden: Well, you can't get on a plane without ID.
1:35:00
Testecleese: Can't buy beer.
1:35:00
Brian McFadden: You can't buy beer, yeah, you have to have ID for that, but you don't need an ID to vote with.
1:35:06
Testecleese: And for you California hippies, You can't buy your pot, man, without an ID!
1:35:12
Testecleese: Nope.
1:35:15
Testecleese: I don't know, anyone ever been to a dispensary?
1:35:18
Brian McFadden: Nope, never, in my life.
1:35:19
Testecleese: Okay, alright, how many times do they check your ID?
1:35:22
Brian McFadden: Every time you go in the door.
1:35:24
Testecleese: when I was security in Massachusetts, we checked your ID at the door.
1:35:29
Testecleese: And we checked your ID at checkout.
1:35:31
Brian McFadden: Nope, they don't do that in Michigan.
1:35:33
Brian McFadden: Just that door.
1:35:36
Testecleese: It was just a cup of the asses of the company, you know what I mean?
1:35:39
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:35:40
Testecleese: And we even told, he's like, don't put your ID away, we're gonna…
1:35:44
Testecleese: They're gonna check it again to make sure that I didn't screw up at the door, and I didn't usually check IDs at the door. I had an actual security job. When they didn't have someone at the door, I would do it.
1:35:53
Testecleese: And that was when I found out that the people that were normally working the door
1:35:57
Testecleese: Had no idea what the identifying marks on a…
1:36:00
Testecleese: Drive… a state driver's license was.
1:36:03
Brian McFadden: No, it doesn't surprise me.
1:36:04
Testecleese: And this isn't just a Massachusetts ID. Every state has a hologram on their ID.
1:36:10
Brian McFadden: Yeah, and the barcode that scans works on every state's ID now, too.
1:36:15
Testecleese: Correct. And there's perforations in your driver's license. Hold your driver's license up to the light over your head.
1:36:22
Testecleese: there's gonna be a perforation, and that the light comes through, you can see a picture. Each state has a different picture. Massachusetts, it's an outline of the state.
1:36:31
Testecleese: Alaska is, I think, a snowflake or something dumb.
1:36:35
Testecleese: But, yeah, Florida, I think it's a… or California might be a palm tree, or maybe that's North Carolina.
1:36:43
Brian McFadden: Yeah, these folks… Palm Tree, South Carolina.
1:36:46
Testecleese: Oh, South Carolina, I'm sorry. Okay, see? Look at that, see?
1:36:49
Testecleese: These folks had no idea. I'm like, you're supposed to… I was like, you had to sit through a fucking video and sign off that you knew all this shit.
1:36:56
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:36:57
Testecleese: And this is why I made a big deal to the management. I was like, these guys have no idea. Like, they… okay, they sat down, the video played, and they played on their phone.
1:37:06
Testecleese: They just looked at the birthdate knowing… and they had the thing in front of them, like, if you were born after today's date, or after, you know, such date, you're ineligible, you know?
1:37:15
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:37:16
Testecleese: And they were just checking dates. I'm like, fuck, man, you guys have no idea what an ID is.
1:37:23
Testecleese: Alright. Did you see this is Sony?
1:37:26
Brian McFadden: I did, I did.
1:37:27
Testecleese: Oh my god!
1:37:28
Brian McFadden: I heard this on one of the podcasts I listen to, you know?
1:37:32
Brian McFadden: She refused to… even say anything about how the DEI toolkit… why is the Smithsonian even have that?
1:37:44
Testecleese: Well, here's what's funny, is she specifically asked.
1:37:47
Testecleese: it being polite. She's the director of the Smithsonian, too, by the way.
1:37:51
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:37:51
Testecleese: Not just a random employee.
1:37:53
Brian McFadden: Because they're calling being polite a racist.
1:37:56
Testecleese: It's white supremacist, to be polite, and that's the great… they asked her, like, is being.
1:38:00
Brian McFadden: Why are you being so polite to us? Are you racist? Are you white?
1:38:04
Testecleese: Yeah, are you a white supremacist? And she's like, what are you talking about? She's like, this is what you guys have, like, published.
1:38:09
Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's in your…
1:38:10
Testecleese: stuff.
1:38:11
Brian McFadden: Oh, I don't know anything about that! I don't know, I don't know.
1:38:14
Testecleese: Yeah, you're the director! Like, you should lose your job if you don't realize they're calling being polite white. And you know what? That's what gets me, because that woman just got busted and convicted for dropping the N-bomb.
1:38:27
Testecleese: You saw that?
1:38:28
Brian McFadden: No, I missed that one.
1:38:29
Testecleese: Oh, we talked about it when it happened. Okay. Shiloh Hendrix or whatever, apparently some kid stole applesa… some autistic 2-year-old stole applesauce from her, and she turned around and called the kid the N-ball. Allegedly. Allegedly.
1:38:46
Testecleese: a concerned bystander, a lot of people saying the kid's father, it was not, it was a concerned bystander.
1:38:51
Testecleese: Turned on his phone, and said, you just call that kid up,
1:38:56
Testecleese: And she goes, oh, fuck you. Say it again, say it again. She goes, okay. And she called him one, and turned around and walked away.
1:39:04
Testecleese: She got hit.
1:39:05
Testecleese: She got convicted of, oh, what is it?
1:39:12
Testecleese: basically being a public nuisance. What is it? Disorderly conduct.
1:39:16
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:39:18
Testecleese: for us… for basically getting in this guy's face. Meanwhile, the video shows him running up on her, getting her face, her calling him a bad name, and walking away. Right. Now…
1:39:29
Testecleese: Don't get me wrong.
1:39:30
Testecleese: calling children and random people the N-bomb.
1:39:34
Testecleese: is not cool.
1:39:36
Brian McFadden: No.
1:39:37
Testecleese: But it's not against the law.
1:39:41
Testecleese: It's not against the law.
1:39:44
Testecleese: But she got something like a $1,000 fine, and 200… and two… I know it's $200 community service, because I sat down for a minute and did the math in my head, and I was like, that's literally more than a year's worth of going to work 8 hours a day, you know? Right. 40-hour weeks.
1:40:00
Testecleese: They're coming.
1:40:04
Testecleese: I'm sorry, it was almost a year or something, I don't remember. I did the math in my head, I was like, holy crap, like, you… I think that's what I realized, but it would take you a year of weekends and 8 hours… 2 years of weekends
1:40:14
Testecleese: To do this community service.
1:40:17
Testecleese: But, she raised something like $800,000 in GoFundMe, because people were sick and tired.
1:40:23
Testecleese: There's, you know what I mean? It's like, no matter what I say, I'm racist anyway, so I may as well just say the racist thing.
1:40:30
Testecleese: Which I… I don't agree with, because it may not be okay to punch me in the mouth for being rude, but it doesn't mean it ain't gonna happen, you know what I mean? But again, like we were saying.
1:40:42
Testecleese: Apparently, if you're not a giant fucking asshole to these… to anyone, not just these people, you people.
1:40:48
Testecleese: If you're polite, that's white supremacy.
1:40:51
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:40:52
Testecleese: So, she had to be rude, or else she'd be a white supremacist, right?
1:40:58
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
1:40:59
Testecleese: But yeah, this is being appealed.
1:41:02
Testecleese: And what got me was she was convicted of disorderly conduct for calling this one man the N-bomb, but not the kid.
1:41:10
Testecleese: Could it be because that was the only thing on video?
1:41:15
Testecleese: Meanwhile, Sonny Austin, from The View.
1:41:19
Testecleese: is saying the only reason why they had this woman from the Smithsonian was because they didn't want to pay reparations?
1:41:26
Testecleese: Trump doesn't want to pay reparations.
1:41:29
Testecleese: I was like, what?
1:41:30
Testecleese: How does… what does that have to do with… Politeness being white supremacy.
1:41:35
Testecleese: You know?
1:41:38
Testecleese: and… Sonny's demanding her cut of the reparations?
1:41:44
Brian McFadden: Of course.
1:41:46
Testecleese: She's already come out and admitted, because she's like, oh, I always thought I was Puerto Rican. It's like, yes, why do you think Puerto Ricans speak Spanish?
1:41:53
Testecleese: Right? She's like, I didn't think I was Spanish!
1:41:56
Testecleese: She's like, I didn't know my family were conquistadors and owned and traded slaves. If she.
1:42:01
Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's what the Spanish did.
1:42:04
Testecleese: And she wants reparations for being black. It's like, first of all, bitch, you're… you're fucking Hispanic, not black, okay?
1:42:14
Testecleese: Second of all, you'd be the one paying the reparations, you had the slaves!
1:42:19
Brian McFadden: She identifies as black.
1:42:21
Testecleese: So don't I! I thought I wasn't allowed to do that.
1:42:27
Testecleese: Didn't seem to bother, elizabeth Warren must have claimed to be native, though.
1:42:33
Brian McFadden: Nope.
1:42:34
Testecleese: And you see Hawson's kid got picked up for trespassing?
1:42:37
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:42:39
Testecleese: He was, like, walking down the active train tracks on private property.
1:42:43
Brian McFadden: But then… but… but he's a Harvard grad…
1:42:46
Testecleese: He's a Harvard graduate, and a Yale, whatever, and a…
1:42:50
Brian McFadden: Man, he called his mommy!
1:42:52
Testecleese: Cheer.
1:42:52
Brian McFadden: Who tried to say she was a federal prosecutor. She was lying to the cops.
1:42:58
Testecleese: Oh, she said former federal.
1:42:59
Brian McFadden: Well, eventually, originally, on the phone call, she said, I'm a federal…
1:43:04
Testecleese: That's right, in person. In person. And it's like, okay, so then you understand that trespassing is against the law.
1:43:10
Testecleese: And here's the thing, is they tried to get this guy
1:43:14
Testecleese: to not arrest them. Like, seriously, just… Get off the train tracks.
1:43:18
Testecleese: Like, trains come down here, you got headphones on on the train tracks, and everyone's like, oh, I'll hear the train coming. No, you won't.
1:43:24
Testecleese: Do people understand how fast these things move?
1:43:28
Testecleese: Like, the cargo trains, not passenger trains, moving hundreds of miles an hour.
1:43:33
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:43:34
Testecleese: Right.
1:43:36
Testecleese: Oh my god. I'll just put my headphones on and walk down the train tracks. Are you fucking kidding me? They tried to save this fucking idiot's life.
1:43:44
Brian McFadden: And then he wasn't being arrested, he was just given a citation to show up to court, so…
1:43:49
Testecleese: Yeah, which, honestly, is probably gonna get dismissed as soon as he shows up.
1:43:53
Brian McFadden: Yeah, cause he's Sonny Hodson's kid.
1:43:55
Testecleese: You know, because all I say was I was being stupid, I wasn't paying enough attention. That would be enough, honestly.
1:44:00
Brian McFadden: Or, you know, he'll show up to the lawyer, and the lawyer will get it knocked down at some community service time type deal.
1:44:10
Testecleese: But it just blew my mind she tried to…
1:44:13
Testecleese: Use her pole as a former federal prosecutor.
1:44:18
Testecleese: Like that, like, this is what.
1:44:20
Brian McFadden: There is no pool there!
1:44:23
Brian McFadden: You got no poll as a former federal prosecutor.
1:44:26
Testecleese: No, exactly, well, no, I can make phone calls, like, are you threatening that if I enforce the law, that something's gonna happen to me?
1:44:33
Testecleese: And I will say, though, she was polite, from what I… from everything I heard.
1:44:37
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:44:39
Testecleese: But she tried to… oh, come on, just let him go, he teaches 4th grade English, or whatever. Right. You know, he's a Harvard grad, goes… does something at Yale, yada yada, and I was like.
1:44:51
Testecleese: Yeah, and what about everyone else who says the same fucking thing, and you say, put him in prison, fucking white cracker, you know?
1:45:02
Testecleese: I found this interesting, Brian, about Lockheed Martin.
1:45:07
Testecleese: Yeah. They're not… yeah, they're not waiting for the Pentagon to say, hey, we need to fix this problem anymore. They're gonna do it on their own, and then see if the government wants to buy it.
1:45:16
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:45:18
Testecleese: Seems interesting to me.
1:45:22
Testecleese: Like, it could be very, very expensive.
1:45:25
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:45:27
Testecleese: I mean, like, how.
1:45:27
Brian McFadden: But it's good for business for them, you know, because they're being…
1:45:31
Brian McFadden: proactive on fixing their shit, you know? So, it would make… it'd probably make their quality go up in the long run.
1:45:39
Brian McFadden: In the rough you guys feel.
1:45:41
Testecleese: Okay, if what you're saying is this isn't working right, we need to adjust that, versus we need a new weapon.
1:45:46
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:45:47
Testecleese: That, okay. Because I was thinking, if they're designing new fucking fighter jets.
1:45:52
Testecleese: And I was like, this just sounds expensive, you know what I mean?
1:45:57
Testecleese: But yeah, I thought this was… Wh…
1:46:00
Testecleese: And that might be the problem we have with government contracts, is nobody does what Lockheed's doing now.
1:46:07
Testecleese: For the federal government, because you already have a contract, versus…
1:46:10
Testecleese: someone who wants to sell me something is gonna make the better one tomorrow if they can, because I might not have liked this one enough, you know?
1:46:20
Brian McFadden: Basically, yeah, because they've come out with a new…
1:46:23
Brian McFadden: Lockheed's coming out with a new counter-drone system.
1:46:29
Brian McFadden: Well, that's a big deal.
1:46:30
Testecleese: because drunk.
1:46:30
Brian McFadden: They're going through their whole… they went through the whole testing phase in less than 45 days by not…
1:46:37
Brian McFadden: Going through the Pentagon's rules and rigmarole.
1:46:42
Testecleese: Are they allowed to do this?
1:46:45
Brian McFadden: I don't know why they wouldn't be able to, I mean…
1:46:50
Testecleese: I don't know, maybe they only get permission to, like.
1:46:53
Testecleese: set off ordinance with, the federal.
1:46:55
Brian McFadden: Well, they've also expanded missile production capacity ahead of contracted demand. They've invested in new factories and automation, robotics.
1:47:06
Brian McFadden: This… because they did all this, they were able to secure a new 7-year, $35 billion contract to quadruple production of THAAD missile interceptors.
1:47:17
Brian McFadden: Along with several other major awards announced this quarter.
1:47:22
Testecleese: Bad, that's the one that's,
1:47:24
Testecleese: You could drive up on a truck, and it's like…
1:47:26
Testecleese: 16 missiles that, like, in the… the silo, whatever.
1:47:30
Testecleese: The battery, folds up and fires.
1:47:35
Testecleese: That's some terrifying technology, you could just bring…
1:47:39
Testecleese: Dozens of missiles where you want them to to fire them off, right?
1:47:42
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:47:45
Testecleese: Finally!
1:47:49
Testecleese: Something we've brought up on this show several times, I know I have at least, I'm pretty sure you've at least agreed with me about why the fuck is the United States lining up their aircraft carriers again?
1:47:59
Brian McFadden: Oh no, this isn't about that. This is putting in another dry dock in on the West Coast.
1:48:06
Brian McFadden: They want to have a… they're basically rebuilding…
1:48:10
Brian McFadden: the, the Bremerton Dry Dock.
1:48:14
Brian McFadden: So it can… it can accommodate the Ford class carriers, so that maintenance can be… the ships don't necessarily have to come all around the world to get work done in Newport News.
1:48:28
Brian McFadden: The more work can be done…
1:48:29
Testecleese: dock… I thought this was about more docks in general, just to be able to moor these ships.
1:48:34
Brian McFadden: No, I read the article, it was about…
1:48:37
Brian McFadden: They're gonna put… yeah, no, they're building a new dock, okay, it is a dock, at… at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
1:48:46
Testecleese: Yeah.
1:48:46
Brian McFadden: Which is Bremerton.
1:48:48
Brian McFadden: And, you know, it's part of the Navy Shipyard Infrastructure Organizational Program, which is gonna modernize the four services
1:49:00
Brian McFadden: Long-neglected shipyards. Portsmouth, Virginia, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Kittery, Maine, and Puget Sound.
1:49:07
Testecleese: We're kiddory!
1:49:08
Brian McFadden: Yeah, there's a shipyard in Kittery.
1:49:10
Testecleese: I know there is! That's been out of use for a long time.
1:49:16
Brian McFadden: Well, the Navy's putting money into it.
1:49:19
Testecleese: Good!
1:49:20
Testecleese: Good, well, no, it…
1:49:22
Testecleese: Like you said, why have one dry dock that can fit these ships in them to do the work?
1:49:28
Testecleese: On the entire fucking planet. You know what I mean?
1:49:31
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:49:32
Testecleese: That means everyone has to wait in line.
1:49:35
Testecleese: Versus we could be doing, according to the numbers, what you just put out, at least, it's, what, 4?
1:49:40
Testecleese: We'll have 4 places we could do…
1:49:43
Testecleese: Repairs to these ships and upgrades.
1:49:45
Brian McFadden: Well, 5, because you closed Newport News.
1:49:49
Brian McFadden: But yeah, basically right now, there is no place on the West Coast, on the… in the Pacific Northwest, that can handle any kind of depot-level maintenance on a Gerald Ford-class carrier.
1:50:03
Testecleese: And, well, how many of those? Those, are there, 2, 3 now?
1:50:06
Brian McFadden: We're working on two.
1:50:09
Testecleese: For Nixon, right?
1:50:12
Brian McFadden: Gerald R. Ford.
1:50:13
Testecleese: Yeah, but wasn't the Nixon also…
1:50:16
Brian McFadden: Nimitz.
1:50:19
Testecleese: Okay, wha… So maybe it was… maybe it was the Ford, I…
1:50:23
Brian McFadden: Ford is the first of the carriers, and I think…
1:50:26
Brian McFadden: I know JFK is being built, Enterprise is being built, but I don't think either one of those are actually…
1:50:33
Brian McFadden: Commissioned, yeah.
1:50:35
Testecleese: Okay, so I was at the christening, the commissioning of the Ford, then.
1:50:40
Testecleese: In, in Newport News. By the way, that takes way longer than you would realize, man. Way too many fucking people spoke for way too many hours. And they said nothing.
1:50:49
Testecleese: You know?
1:50:52
Testecleese: Zelensky's been firing a lot of his staff.
1:50:56
Brian McFadden: Yeah, right now, we got the Ford is in commission and operational.
1:51:00
Brian McFadden: Kennedy will be out in 2027, Enterprise is under construction, USS Doris Miller is under construction, and additional ships 82 and 83 are planned.
1:51:11
Testecleese: What… who's Doris Miller?
1:51:13
Brian McFadden: She was… A woman that… Did something in the Navy.
1:51:21
Testecleese: And I'm surprised that we have Ford and Kennedy.
1:51:27
Testecleese: and that George Washington,
1:51:31
Testecleese: I don't know, it's… I thought that… Carriers weren't named after presidents.
1:51:39
Brian McFadden: Oh, Doris Miller was a,
1:51:43
Brian McFadden: a U.S. Navy sailor, and one of the most celebrated American heroes of World War II, his namesake.
1:51:50
Brian McFadden: On December 7th, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Miller was serving aboard the battleship USS Florida.
1:51:56
Testecleese: He's a cook?
1:51:56
Brian McFadden: Virginia? Yes.
1:51:58
Testecleese: No kidding!
1:51:59
Brian McFadden: Second class. At the time, black sellers were largely restricted to serving in steward and mass attendant roles because of racial segregation.
1:52:07
Testecleese: Yeah!
1:52:08
Brian McFadden: You know, moving the sailors to…
1:52:11
Brian McFadden: Get to safety. He even helped the morally wounded captain.
1:52:16
Brian McFadden: He had no formal training, but he hopped on the anti-aircraft gun.
1:52:20
Testecleese: Yeah, I was gonna say, instead of operating the anti-aircraft guns alone.
1:52:23
Brian McFadden: He was the first African American to receive the Navy Cross.
1:52:27
Testecleese: Oh, shit, not even Medal of Honor, you got a Navy Cross!
1:52:30
Brian McFadden: Yep, yep. So, I think he's deserving of, carrying.
1:52:34
Testecleese: No, absolutely, and Navy Cross, is that… does that carry the same privileges as Medal of Honor?
1:52:41
Brian McFadden: It's the second highest award for Valor.
1:52:44
Testecleese: Right behind Medal of Honor. Yeah. Right?
1:52:46
Testecleese: So, does the President salute you for a Navy Cross?
1:52:52
Brian McFadden: Oh, I don't know.
1:52:53
Testecleese: I don't know, because I know Medal of Honor… Everyone salutes you, right?
1:52:59
Brian McFadden: Yeah, he was killed during World War II. He didn't survive the war.
1:53:03
Testecleese: You know, that's a real American hero. This man deserves a ship named after him, and you know what? Let's name a fucking base after this man, too, how's that?
1:53:12
Brian McFadden: Sounds good.
1:53:14
Testecleese: I wanna grab another beer, but we're almost done.
1:53:17
Testecleese: Oh yeah, okay.
1:53:21
Testecleese: What's going on with Ukraine and Russia?
1:53:23
Brian McFadden: I don't know.
1:53:24
Testecleese: I know, I know, right?
1:53:28
Testecleese: I keep hearing Ukraine's winning, but I'm never hearing about Ukraine pushing forward.
1:53:32
Brian McFadden: Learn out.
1:53:33
Testecleese: You know what I mean? But apparently Zelensky just, like, fu-
1:53:36
Testecleese: Put a new war commander in charge, or whatever they call them.
1:53:40
Testecleese: Fired him days later.
1:53:42
Testecleese: This isn't the first time he's done this with his military staff.
1:53:46
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:53:58
Testecleese: I'm not sure what we're supposed to do about Ukraine, honestly, dude.
1:54:02
Brian McFadden: I don't know. We got ourselves in Ukraine and Iran, so we got problems.
1:54:09
Testecleese: That's the thing is, Russia made a big deal
1:54:12
Testecleese: for so long that Ukraine is… Ukraine literally means borderlands. That's why it was called the Ukraine for so long. Until… until basically the war started, right?
1:54:23
Testecleese: Like, the United States of America.
1:54:27
Testecleese: It was supposed to be that this is a buffer between Russia and NATO.
1:54:32
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:54:32
Testecleese: Russia moving in there didn't violate NATO, but that violated the idea that Ukraine was supposed to be…
1:54:41
Testecleese: a gap, you know what I mean?
1:54:43
Brian McFadden: Yup.
1:54:44
Testecleese: And granted, he's not closing the whole gap, but…
1:54:48
Testecleese: For real, how come Russia hasn't just marched through and taken what they wanted yet?
1:54:52
Brian McFadden: Because I can't.
1:54:54
Testecleese: Why?
1:54:55
Brian McFadden: I don't know. Maybe they're not as strong as everybody thinks they are.
1:54:58
Testecleese: Are they a pa- yeah, are they a true paper dragon?
1:55:03
Brian McFadden: What it seems like.
1:55:05
Testecleese: I mean, come on, dude, you, me, and, like, 50 of our buddies with freaking automatic rifles could take over Ukraine in, like, the weekend, let's be real.
1:55:16
Testecleese: And how many Ukrainians fled the nation?
1:55:21
Testecleese: When this started.
1:55:27
Brian McFadden: A lot.
1:55:28
Testecleese: Yeah.
1:55:29
Testecleese: I mean, and I understand some of these younger women getting out, but, like, fighting age men.
1:55:35
Testecleese: Take off, dude?
1:55:38
Testecleese: what do we want you here for if you won't fight for your own country? You're certainly not gonna go to war for us, right?
1:55:44
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:55:45
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:55:48
Testecleese: Alright.
1:55:50
Testecleese: And… a Kurdish party is accusing Iran of using white phosphorus rounds in warfare.
1:55:59
Brian McFadden: Sounds very bad.
1:56:02
Testecleese: Yeah.
1:56:06
Testecleese: Yeah, I don't know how else to put it besides, holy shit, man.
1:56:09
Testecleese: phosphorus, They call it white phosphorus.
1:56:13
Brian McFadden: Jesus.
1:56:13
Testecleese: Ignite's easier than normal phosphorus, but it burns so hard, it burns white.
1:56:17
Testecleese: It'll melt through a fucking tank.
1:56:20
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:56:21
Testecleese: through an engine block, that's what…
1:56:24
Testecleese: The idea of what was to start with, it was to wipe out, like, tank our tank fleets with artillery, and just rain down molten hot metal on them.
1:56:33
Testecleese: the Kurds are accusing the Iranis of dumping this, ordinance on the people, like, on…
1:56:39
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:56:40
Testecleese: people, not… equipment.
1:56:42
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:56:43
Testecleese: Which is considered a war crime.
1:56:45
Brian McFadden: -Oh.
1:56:46
Testecleese: Now… I think the term war crime is ridiculous.
1:56:51
Testecleese: I mean, let's… let's be real.
1:56:53
Testecleese: You're killing people.
1:56:54
Testecleese: Yeah, isn't it all crime?
1:56:57
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:56:58
Testecleese: But it, you know, if Mom Donnie wants to arrest people for war crimes, how about the guy fucking dumping, 7,000 degree liquid metal on people?
1:57:07
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:57:10
Testecleese: Like, that shit gets on your arm, it's going to melt through your arm, it's gonna cut your arm off, and it's gonna cauterize the wound as it does it, you're not even gonna bleed.
1:57:21
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:57:23
Testecleese: Holy crap, dude.
1:57:26
Testecleese: Anything else you wanna talk about?
1:57:28
Brian McFadden: No, I don't think so.
1:57:30
Testecleese: Alright, man, got out of here in almost exactly 2 hours.
1:57:33
Brian McFadden: Nice.
1:57:34
