• 0:07
  Now broadcasting from the Next Gen. conservative studio in
• 0:11
  sunny South Florida, bringing you the latest in politics,
• 0:15
  current events and pop culture. This is the Whitfield Report
• 0:20
  with Sam Whitfield. So the three of us were just
• 0:31
  talking out. This show runs on cripple time
• 0:35
  which is true. It is, you know.
• 0:40
  I was at. First, I wasn't really aware.
• 0:43
  I wasn't hip to the culture, you know, But I I figured it out
• 0:46
  after a while. We we do have a new.
• 0:49
  One who has cripple time. Yeah, I I guess.
• 0:55
  And more. And Morpheus, ladies and gentle.
• 0:59
  Morpheus actually does exist. He's not my alt account, as some
• 1:03
  people have theorized. That hasn't been proven.
• 1:08
  Well. Sam and I are not the same
• 1:10
  person. That's an interesting
• 1:13
  ventriloquist trick you're doing, Sam.
• 1:16
  I mean, I'll. Just I'll just.
• 1:18
  Further, every conspiracy theory that anybody in chat ever says,
• 1:22
  and I will agree with it. Well.
• 1:25
  You. You would Max.
• 1:27
  Mischievous. Well, listen, you know, we also
• 1:31
  had, like, we also had someone complaining out your big
• 1:35
  forehead. That's right, it is hard.
• 1:37
  And I don't like these must be forehead.
• 1:41
  That's A5 head. No, but yeah, that, that's A5
• 1:46
  head. You measure it like this, It's
• 1:47
  probably sit. Yeah, regardless, yes, I have a
• 1:51
  large forehead. I'm a big Neanderthal
• 1:53
  motherfucker. I don't know if that bothers
• 1:55
  you. I don't know what to tell you.
• 1:57
  That's that's why this show, that's why this episode is
• 2:00
  called 2 Cripples and a Giant. So that's.
• 2:04
  Why? No matter.
• 2:05
  Where I'm at, my forehead's in frame, right?
• 2:08
  Yeah, it's too big. It might be.
• 2:13
  What's in the I didn't even know what's in the news this week,
• 2:17
  other than the fact that, like, I guess, Chris.
• 2:20
  Christie has has. I can't believe this has
• 2:23
  happened. What an absolute shocker.
• 2:26
  Chris Christie has suspended his campaign.
• 2:29
  Did he fought? Did he finally suspended?
• 2:32
  Because I I heard that he actually made it to Iowa.
• 2:36
  He might, but I don't know. There was an announcement
• 2:39
  earlier today that he had suspended his campaign
• 2:41
  officially. So he decided to go hunt for
• 2:45
  more doughnuts. Probably courting who's gonna
• 2:50
  friggin who he's gonna endorse so that he can get a rub from
• 2:56
  it, but. That.
• 2:58
  Obviously he's not gonna endorse Trump, so.
• 3:01
  That would be pretty much. Assume it'll be Haley.
• 3:04
  Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's, it's gonna be.
• 3:07
  Christie's endorsement mean anything?
• 3:10
  No. I think.
• 3:11
  Christie doesn't mean anything except.
• 3:13
  Fat. I say Chris Christie, you think
• 3:16
  fat because he's absurdly fat to the point that if he was like a
• 3:23
  comedian, that would be his whole bit, right?
• 3:26
  Like Chris Farley? Chris Farley or Fluffy?
• 3:33
  Yeah. Yeah, he's he's he's fat to a
• 3:36
  degree where you can't. Like there's a level of fat
• 3:39
  where it's like, all right, you know people are people, and then
• 3:41
  there's a level of fat where you cannot see that person and think
• 3:45
  anything else other than damn he fat.
• 3:50
  No, Chris. Chris is.
• 3:51
  That level, Chris Christie is like pro wrestler, sumo fucking
• 3:57
  Samoan guy. Fat.
• 4:00
  He's Abdullah the Butcher. It's true.
• 4:03
  Chris Chris Christie talking at Like people needing to control.
• 4:08
  His visceral fat. Chris Christie talking at Trump
• 4:11
  needing to control his addictions is hilarious as.
• 4:18
  He shovels. Fucking handy in one hand and
• 4:23
  wired in the other in his fucking mouth.
• 4:27
  As he shovels Meatloaf down his gullet.
• 4:30
  Yeah, yeah. Trump made him eat a.
• 4:32
  Meatloaf. And now he's addicted.
• 4:34
  He can't. He can't go anywhere without
• 4:35
  having a fresh meatloaf. Yeah.
• 4:40
  That would not. Be surprised the DNC is still
• 4:46
  mentally deficient. They're trying to the the
• 4:52
  ballot. Oh, the Supreme Court's going to
• 4:54
  hear the the Colorado case. Oh yeah, I I heard.
• 4:58
  I heard. I heard about that.
• 5:01
  I I also heard apparently like someone from Goldman Sachs is
• 5:07
  also predicting that, oh, we lost Morpheus.
• 5:14
  Someone from Golden from Goldman Sachs is predicting that.
• 5:19
  I guess Biden is going to drop out of the race, so.
• 5:24
  I mean they could do that and not have a primary.
• 5:27
  See, here's the interesting thing and This is why the
• 5:29
  Colorado case it can only turn out one way in the Supreme Court
• 5:34
  Both the Democrat and Republican Party are actually private
• 5:38
  institutions and was of that the the government cannot say you
• 5:47
  can't have a primary deciding who the nominee is.
• 5:51
  You can't have this person on the primary.
• 5:53
  Now, they could take a candidate off the general ballot once
• 5:57
  they'd won the nomination, right?
• 6:00
  But you can't tell this private institution who they can't run
• 6:04
  on the ballot. And that's basically how it's
• 6:07
  going to turn out. You know, I'm not going to, oh,
• 6:12
  I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I'm probably not.
• 6:15
  And it's probably actually a spoiler to how this case the
• 6:20
  Republican Party can put whoever they want on their primary
• 6:23
  ballot. If your state.
• 6:24
  Wants to argue his validity as a candidate on the actual ballot.
• 6:29
  Then you can file a court case when he wins that and try and do
• 6:32
  it then and then It would still be the the question that
• 6:38
  everybody immediately goes through as well.
• 6:40
  He's never been convicted of any such thing.
• 6:42
  But but the. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Before you even get to that case dismissed, this isn't the
• 6:47
  purview of the state to decide a private institution hiring.
• 6:52
  In practice that's what the court's going to say and I bet
• 6:59
  you it'll be like 7 or 8 to to throw it out of the non
• 7:06
  justices. Even even some of the Democrat
• 7:09
  ones will probably agree. Yeah.
• 7:12
  Just based on their past history of of rulings, this isn't one
• 7:17
  that I don't. I don't think anybody maybe
• 7:19
  Sotomayor might fight it, but otherwise I don't.
• 7:21
  It doesn't seem like it's going to be much of a fight.
• 7:24
  Even even Bill Barr, who hates Trump says that this is stupid,
• 7:29
  so and not and not going to go anywhere.
• 7:36
  Yeah, wasn't he on the Epstein? Never mind.
• 7:38
  Anyway. Oh yeah.
• 7:41
  Moving along. Let's see who wasn't on the
• 7:48
  Epstein list. Oh, I know Donald Trump wasn't
• 7:52
  on. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:54
  Well, that's because he hated him when he figured out that he
• 7:57
  was a massive pedophile. You could look.
• 8:01
  Back at all the things that Trump said about Epstein long
• 8:05
  before all these, my favorite are the people that are like,
• 8:10
  oh, Trump and Epstein bro. Trump was anti Epstein before
• 8:14
  you knew who Epstein was. Shut the fuck up.
• 8:17
  Trump got him kicked out of every Country Club in Florida.
• 8:22
  He fucking went around telling everybody how, Jeffrey, he's a
• 8:25
  pedophile. Did you know he's a pedophile?
• 8:29
  See the interviews? He did an interview.
• 8:31
  He talked about it in Playboy magazine, actually.
• 8:34
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:35
  No, no, I actually, I actually know that.
• 8:38
  Bro. By the way, before Jeffrey got
• 8:40
  arrested the first time, Trump was shitting on him.
• 8:44
  Before he ever even got arrested.
• 8:47
  Yeah, no. Supposedly Epstein got kicked
• 8:50
  out of the out of the Playboy Mansion because Trump told half
• 8:54
  that Epstein was a bad a bad dude.
• 9:01
  So, Bill. Did the interview and he said it
• 9:07
  in the interview and Hefner. Hefner personally okayed that
• 9:12
  interview. Yeah, What?
• 9:14
  What were you going to say more? I'm sorry.
• 9:23
  All I said is the the Playboy Mansion is too old for Epstein.
• 9:27
  Yeah, yeah. No that that's true, so.
• 9:30
  That's why I mean the. And then he decided he was, you
• 9:34
  know, I'm gonna have my own island with blackjack and
• 9:38
  miners. Yeah, the the thing, the thing
• 9:44
  on Upstate Island is Alex, that was like the first.
• 9:49
  Like. That was the first big
• 9:51
  conspiracy theory where people were like, holy shit, Alex Jones
• 9:54
  was actually right about that one too.
• 9:58
  So. Well, to be fair, the first
• 10:03
  would have been the Bohemian Grove, right?
• 10:08
  Oh yeah, yeah. That was in like 2000.
• 10:11
  That was old school Alec. That was Alex Jones before he
• 10:14
  was really even doing conspiracy stuff.
• 10:17
  Yeah, that, that. Like journalism.
• 10:20
  That was that was Alex Jones when he still had his Texas
• 10:23
  accent. So.
• 10:25
  Yeah, yeah, He just snuck in with the bushes.
• 10:27
  He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm with the Texas boys and they they
• 10:29
  didn't even question him. It's pretty funny.
• 10:31
  Yeah, well, well, the thing it is, is like Alex Jones has
• 10:36
  become like, so he's been yelling.
• 10:39
  He's been yelling and screaming for so long, someone actually
• 10:42
  brought this up. Alex Jones has actually lost his
• 10:48
  Texas accent now from just screaming over.
• 10:54
  Still there. It's still there.
• 10:56
  It's kind it it's there, it's like.
• 10:59
  Anybody, to be fair, anybody with a hard Southern or Texan
• 11:03
  accent in media, they tend to lose it over time.
• 11:08
  Yeah. That kind of degree, it's just
• 11:12
  you're you're talking all these media people, they all talk with
• 11:15
  like East Coast or West Coast accents.
• 11:18
  You're you're talking to a more, I guess, national audience.
• 11:23
  I mean, this applies a little less in the Internet era, but in
• 11:26
  the in the 90s and 2000s, that kind of shit mattered.
• 11:29
  And he's probably taught himself how to kind of mash out a little
• 11:34
  bit of that accent. Yeah.
• 11:36
  It's probably intentional. Yeah, he.
• 11:39
  Probably has. He probably does fucking classes
• 11:42
  for it to be honest. Or has in at the some point.
• 11:45
  That that's a good point. So we have a, so we have a new
• 11:50
  Co host Morpheus will be joining us.
• 11:53
  And you know why? If you if you guys interact with
• 11:59
  me on Twitter at all or X what, whatever we're calling it now
• 12:04
  Morpheus pops up in my timeline pretty regularly.
• 12:08
  But Morpheus actually has like a a an actual background in
• 12:12
  podcasting. So why don't you more this?
• 12:19
  Tell the people about yourself and whatnot.
• 12:25
  Well, I got my start in in podcasting a couple years ago,
• 12:28
  did a wrestling podcast for a couple years with a couple of Co
• 12:33
  hosts that ended and. What was it called to?
• 12:38
  Get get into podcasting again. That was CYWTSB, which stood for
• 12:45
  Did you write the Ship row? Because we just picked apart WWE
• 12:48
  and not AW when it came around. Yeah.
• 12:55
  That's it's interesting now that the the wrestlers have podcasts
• 13:00
  has completely like dominated the mark podcasts.
• 13:08
  In one way, I think it's good because the wrestlers get kind
• 13:11
  of a retirement plan out of having these podcasts, but none
• 13:14
  of them are like as big as like, 'cause like Jim Cornette was
• 13:17
  like the first actual talent to have 1:00 and had one for.
• 13:21
  Like goddamn 15. Years or something most of them
• 13:25
  don't get. Yeah, you're definitely not.
• 13:27
  You're definitely not going to beat the actual talents in their
• 13:30
  podcast. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:32
  It's not. It's not even fair.
• 13:36
  You got like, oh, am I going to watch some guys or am I going to
• 13:39
  watch like The Undertaker? You know, I I don't know.
• 13:42
  It's. Wrestling.
• 13:44
  I I watched, I do remember, I do remember Ketchik a few episode
• 13:50
  of of Stone Cold's podcast and the entire time I was thinking
• 13:56
  all I want is, is a Stone cold Steve Austin meets Alex Jones
• 14:01
  podcast. I I need that to happen.
• 14:05
  Is it? Poker.
• 14:11
  I'm breaking up a little bit there.
• 14:14
  Me or Mort? Mort.
• 14:18
  OK, I think, I think, I think Mort's Internet connection is
• 14:26
  having trouble, he said. I barely got Max's question.
• 14:35
  Oh. Yeah, well, yeah.
• 14:38
  I was just saying, like the the podcast market has certainly
• 14:41
  changed for wrestlers a lot over the last couple years.
• 14:46
  You know, with a lot of older wrestlers getting podcasts as
• 14:50
  well as like the whole tribalism with AW fans I find immensely
• 14:56
  fascinating. They can't accept that like
• 15:00
  their product is different than wrestling.
• 15:02
  Fans in America have enjoyed both the boom and bust periods
• 15:09
  of the business and they more focused on like Japanese style
• 15:13
  wrestling. They can't understand why the
• 15:15
  old school wrestling, American wrestling fans don't get it.
• 15:18
  And the the AW fans, it's like what they love, you know?
• 15:23
  Like they jerk off to these fucking Japanese wrestling
• 15:26
  matches and they're like Oh yeah, five stars baby.
• 15:30
  It's like, I don't know, I'd rather watch Hulk Hogan and
• 15:34
  Randy Savage. I don't care if it's a Five Star
• 15:36
  match. Yeah, as.
• 15:38
  I know that both those two two dudes are going to come in and
• 15:41
  let me tell you something, brother.
• 15:43
  You Hulk Hogan, you know, and they're going to fucking.
• 15:46
  It's going to be like, yeah, yeah, and then maybe the match
• 15:49
  will suck, but that's OK. I don't know.
• 15:53
  I usually didn't. Yeah, it doesn't need to jump
• 15:55
  off of 30 ladders through 30 fucking tables of barbed wire.
• 16:02
  Sorry. AW, you know, my favorite
• 16:04
  though, with a W I I was just. I just showed my wife this
• 16:08
  because it's the funniest thing that's ever happened in
• 16:10
  wrestling. And they had an exploding ring
• 16:14
  match. Did you see this, Sam?
• 16:16
  I saw clips. So the exploding ring is set up
• 16:21
  with bar wire around it, and there's a countdown timer and
• 16:25
  then it gets into like a few seconds left and Hornstar go
• 16:30
  it's. All going to blow up the.
• 16:31
  Exploding ring. Oh my God.
• 16:33
  And Jon Moxley's left in the ring and he's too beat up from
• 16:38
  the match to get up. And his friend Eddie Kingston
• 16:40
  runs in and he's going to save him.
• 16:43
  Oh, come on, John, we got to get out.
• 16:44
  There's only 10 seconds. Oh no.
• 16:46
  But we can't get him out. And Eddie jumps on him to save
• 16:49
  him from this eminent explosion. And then it goes. 321 sparklers,
• 16:57
  sparklers, go home. And these two dudes are laying
• 17:02
  in the ring as if they just got blown up by a nuclear bomb.
• 17:07
  And it's like, where else are they?
• 17:08
  They're supposed to sell it like it was a thing, right?
• 17:13
  And they just lay there like, Oh no.
• 17:16
  That that's. All of you to me in a nutshell
• 17:19
  right there. That's all.
• 17:22
  That's almost hilarious to me and how like mediocre it is so.
• 17:27
  Well, because the exploding ring thing came from Japan and I've
• 17:31
  seen an exploding ring match. Yeah, my God, it was Terry Funk
• 17:36
  and Mick Foley, I believe. And that shit blew the fuck up,
• 17:41
  right? And so you you, if you've ever
• 17:43
  seen that, and like I say, the fan base for AW is very likely
• 17:47
  to have seen those kind of matches 'cause they love
• 17:50
  Japanese wrestling and little sparklers.
• 17:57
  Fucking so dumb. Oh man, I love ripping on AW
• 18:02
  because they want to talk about bad wrestling, but that's the
• 18:05
  worst thing I've ever seen. I've never seen anything that
• 18:10
  dumb in WWE and that's quite the statement because they've had
• 18:14
  some dumb shit. Yeah, that that that seems to be
• 18:22
  normal for for them so. Yeah, yeah, it's it's normal for
• 18:28
  our wrestling to be dumb in general, but that was
• 18:31
  particularly. Dumb.
• 18:34
  Speaking of dumb, the gaming industry literally has no AAA
• 18:41
  titles this year because Suicide Squad, whatever that game is
• 18:49
  like, Even IGN says it's horseshit.
• 18:54
  You know, God damn it, I have an NBA with that game.
• 18:58
  I have a contrarian opinion that I cannot share.
• 19:03
  Let's move on from the game. I can't talk about.
• 19:07
  OK. Well, I'll, I'll.
• 19:09
  Let me let me put it this way, Max, When, when, when the end,
• 19:13
  when your NDA is like over, I'll be interested to hear it.
• 19:19
  So. It's when the game comes out.
• 19:24
  Yeah. So I'll be interested.
• 19:26
  I'll be interested to hear it then.
• 19:28
  But I did quite. Quite, quite a bit of it and I
• 19:33
  just, let's just say I don't think that the opinions I'm
• 19:38
  seeing match up with what I played.
• 19:41
  Well I'll I'll, I'll just let me let me I also have a contrary.
• 19:47
  I also have a contrary and opinion, which is like, I don't
• 19:55
  really care because Rockstar already gave us like three
• 19:59
  really good Batman games and As. Long as I can say this, it's
• 20:04
  definitely not a Batman game and it's definitely not an Arkham
• 20:07
  game. It's definitely very different
• 20:10
  from that. It's much more of a shooter that
• 20:13
  I can say, 'cause that's publicly known information.
• 20:16
  Yeah, no, I no, I know that. But what it but what I'm saying
• 20:19
  is like rocks are already gave us three good Batman games and
• 20:24
  so like if they put out a mediocre.
• 20:27
  Batman games. You're right about that.
• 20:30
  Yeah. And then there was a third one.
• 20:33
  I was there. Yeah, well, you it.
• 20:36
  Was a waste. Of time in the Batmobile is what
• 20:38
  it was and also broken on PC. So I will never ever give that
• 20:42
  game a pass. It's still broken on PC.
• 20:45
  It's still broken on PCI can't give a pass to a game.
• 20:50
  It's what like 5 years old? Six years old, still broken on
• 20:53
  PC. Yeah.
• 20:54
  Eight No try. Eight years old.
• 20:57
  Try 8 years old. Yeah, I know.
• 21:00
  I I know. And I and I was I was kind of, I
• 21:03
  was kind of disappointed because like driving the Batmobile was
• 21:08
  the one thing I always wanted to do and.
• 21:13
  I actually never even really thought about it.
• 21:18
  I it. Wasn't.
• 21:19
  What I was asking for I don't know.
• 21:22
  I get why a lot of people would though.
• 21:25
  Yeah, well, I mean city though, city.
• 21:29
  That's the kind I point that was like City when city nailed it.
• 21:35
  You didn't need a Batmobile 'cause you just flying and
• 21:38
  grappling, hooking all over that motherfucker.
• 21:41
  Exactly so. That felt good.
• 21:43
  Yeah. It's kind of like a Spider Man
• 21:46
  2. Way, way back when was the first
• 21:50
  one that really nailed the web slinging.
• 21:52
  Yeah. Oh oh the good, the good.
• 21:55
  Spider Man 2 Yeah not the not the not the woke.
• 22:02
  You know, not the not the woke one or not the one based off of
• 22:06
  the less important films. Yeah.
• 22:09
  You know, 'cause there's both of those, right?
• 22:13
  No, the the Spider Man 2 from like the PS2, Xbox, GameCube
• 22:17
  era. That game I feel like.
• 22:21
  I feel like Arkham City was for Batman what that game was for
• 22:25
  Spider Man. And then it made traveling
• 22:27
  around feel fun. Yeah.
• 22:30
  You know what I've been playing Sam.
• 22:31
  I've been playing a game a lot of people hated on and I passed
• 22:34
  on when it came out. I've been playing Diablo Four
• 22:37
  and I've enjoyed it. I don't know.
• 22:40
  I guess like the nerds don't like it for the same reason
• 22:44
  nerds don't like a lot of shit and and it's a lot of shit that
• 22:47
  really doesn't affect me because I'm not going to min Max and run
• 22:53
  the same thing 50 billion times to get this perfect piece of
• 22:57
  gear or whatever. I'm going to go through the
• 23:01
  dungeons and kill the fucking bosses and beat the game.
• 23:05
  Although I've I've the game ends at like level 50.
• 23:07
  You can go up to level 100 and I've been having a blast.
• 23:10
  I have a necromancer that's like all the build guides on the
• 23:15
  websites. This is why I think all the
• 23:16
  nerds don't like the game. The build guides are just wrong
• 23:20
  because they all told me my shit was bad, right?
• 23:23
  But my shit is awesome because I make I make little skeletons run
• 23:27
  around and blow up. Out.
• 23:30
  Out of all the dead bodies. And then when they blow up, they
• 23:32
  make more dead bodies and basically I'm just sitting there
• 23:35
  hitting one button, making a mosh pit of skeletons running
• 23:38
  all around and blowing up. So I call it the Thrasher build.
• 23:41
  Everyone told me I'm doing a Witcher 3 wrong because I I've
• 23:45
  still got like the basic body armor that I'm playing with, but
• 23:49
  you know, it's worked fine for me, so.
• 23:53
  Yeah, man, if you're having fun. I mean, I just get like in in a
• 23:57
  game like The Witcher, This is what I mean.
• 23:59
  In a game like The Witcher, I get the shit that I come across,
• 24:03
  right? And I'll use the best stuff that
• 24:04
  I get, right? But I'm not going to sit there
• 24:08
  and, oh, I got to go and do this very.
• 24:10
  I got to go look up a guide online so that I can get the
• 24:13
  very specific thing to complete my fucking build so that it all
• 24:16
  does this perfectly. I don't do that.
• 24:18
  I only have. Two hated Diablo 4 as those guys
• 24:22
  because for me, I've been like, Oh yeah, make my explosions from
• 24:26
  my corpses bigger and make my mosh pit bigger.
• 24:30
  And then I I added in a you know you got to have like a single
• 24:34
  target high damage thing for bosses, right?
• 24:37
  And so I throw fucking Lance of blood at them and then they
• 24:40
  explode into a million more blood lances and it's the
• 24:43
  opposite of what all the guides online told me would be good.
• 24:47
  And I'm just tearing through everything at like level 90.
• 24:50
  Yeah. So they can.
• 24:53
  Eat it here more can. I've been having so much.
• 24:58
  Yeah, yeah. More be back I.
• 24:59
  Can I can hear you guys? Can you hear me?
• 25:01
  Yeah, we can. We can hear you.
• 25:04
  My browser decided it wanted to crash.
• 25:07
  Always, Yeah. That's always fun.
• 25:14
  I I hope you're back now though. Everything good?
• 25:17
  I. I I, I I seem to be back.
• 25:21
  I know, I know. I popped in like two or three
• 25:22
  times trying to get things back up and running.
• 25:24
  I think I'm back now. OK, yeah.
• 25:28
  Have you played Diablo 3 or like you're more the fantasy like RPG
• 25:32
  guy? I know.
• 25:34
  Yeah, I'm one of the fantasy RPG guy.
• 25:37
  I I I tried playing the original, just didn't didn't
• 25:42
  strike my fancy. So I haven't really touched the
• 25:44
  Diablo game since. Diablo 1.
• 25:47
  Yeah. I would recommend, I would
• 25:49
  recommend giving another one a try because Diablo one is so
• 25:52
  different from literally all the other games, because Diablo one,
• 25:59
  it's it's a Diablo one's interesting because it's more of
• 26:02
  like a survival horror kind of game than a fantasy RPG and you
• 26:07
  don't get a lot of abilities and things and everything's really
• 26:09
  hard. By the time they got the Diablo
• 26:11
  two, they already perfected it. I'd say give it a whirl if
• 26:16
  you're ever bored and looking for a Path of Exile, which is
• 26:19
  free by the way. Path of Exile, same kind of
• 26:21
  game, but it's free, not free to play.
• 26:24
  It's basically free cause the only things they sell are like
• 26:27
  costumes. Yeah.
• 26:29
  You can do everything the game has to offer for free.
• 26:33
  And I and I pretty much said that, like, Morpheus's name
• 26:36
  should really be Geralt, because he's the biggest Witcher fan I
• 26:41
  know. It sounds like you like story
• 26:44
  based, you know, RPGs more. Yeah, I'm more of a give me a
• 26:50
  character that has a back story and let me role play that
• 26:55
  character more, more so than give me a blank slate and let me
• 26:58
  be me. Yeah, Diablo's Diablo is not a
• 27:01
  story focused. I don't want to be me.
• 27:04
  I want to escape from being me. I make me and everything I make
• 27:10
  I I I do make role play characters and stuff.
• 27:12
  I play on a role play server and Wow.
• 27:15
  But the first thing I do is make myself, and it's usually pretty
• 27:18
  easy 'cause I'm usually pretty close to the default character.
• 27:24
  Just a. Beard.
• 27:25
  Just a giant. Oh no.
• 27:28
  The default character is usually a long haired white guy, you
• 27:32
  know, and I'll have to like, OK, blue eyes and a beard and then
• 27:36
  it's done. I don't really like character
• 27:40
  creators to be honest with you. I've never my my wife can sit
• 27:43
  there and she'll play The Sims and just do nothing but create
• 27:47
  characters. I get that.
• 27:48
  That's popular with me. I wanna get that part done
• 27:51
  because the fun part of character creation for me is the
• 27:54
  mechanical stuff. Yeah.
• 27:56
  When when I do a character creator, I'll hit randomize and
• 27:59
  until I hit hit appearance I like and then go.
• 28:05
  I I can't. I I see, I do like to like
• 28:12
  customize my characters. So like I'm I'm kind of guilty
• 28:18
  of like I I like the character creator.
• 28:22
  With that being said, like I find I find the fact that like
• 28:28
  people are so focused on cyberpunk and the character
• 28:31
  creator and there I find that to be hilarious since it's like a
• 28:34
  first person. Yeah, yeah, One of one of my
• 28:38
  even. Scarfield makes more sense
• 28:40
  because I. Found a guy to build girl and
• 28:43
  play the game as girl. Yeah, you could do that.
• 28:48
  I mean, people do that with a lot of stuff.
• 28:50
  I, to me, with Diablo as opposed to like a fantasy RPG with this,
• 28:57
  there's a story. The story is there's demons,
• 29:00
  right? That's really all you need to
• 29:02
  know. And you are powerful for
• 29:05
  whatever reason. And then you blow up all the
• 29:07
  fucking demons you can and level up and get cool loot.
• 29:11
  I the. Story is so not important to
• 29:14
  Diablo that in Diablo 4 you can skip the fucking main
• 29:19
  campaigning before you even started the game and just do the
• 29:23
  fucking end game content. I'll tell you how.
• 29:26
  I'll tell you how much. I'll tell you how much I like
• 29:28
  and. I wish I'd have done that, by
• 29:30
  the way, because I played through the whole campaign and
• 29:32
  it took me way too long and the story was there, and it's
• 29:36
  probably the best story mode in a Diablo game ever.
• 29:40
  And it's still, man, but I don't give a fuck about that.
• 29:44
  I'll tell. Actually, I'm.
• 29:45
  Gonna hit this back a little a few minutes.
• 29:47
  When you were introducing me, Sam, you were you were saying
• 29:49
  something, Max, about podcast that I used to do.
• 29:54
  And then he starts breaking up. Maybe you shouldn't talk about
• 29:57
  the podcast. I think we lost him again.
• 30:03
  He started talking about podcasts.
• 30:07
  Oh, you there? It's pretty fun.
• 30:09
  I'm still here. We lost you at podcasts that you
• 30:13
  used to do. Yeah, well, when you were
• 30:15
  introducing me, Max started chiming in and I didn't hear
• 30:19
  what he was asking about the podcast.
• 30:22
  Oh, I was just. Asking like what's?
• 30:24
  The. What was, what was the market
• 30:27
  for that kind of thing like back then?
• 30:28
  Because I never watched any mark.
• 30:31
  No, I'm not, you know, shitting on you by saying mark.
• 30:33
  But I've never watched any wrestling fan based podcast like
• 30:37
  that where they talk about what wrestling news kind of stuff.
• 30:41
  Well, if if Yeah, wrestling Podcast and we didn't over a
• 30:44
  review of that week's episodes of Smackdown and Raw and AEW
• 30:48
  when it when it came along and honestly it it's the fanface.
• 30:53
  It's so fractured. So unless you somehow get a
• 30:57
  name, say, say you get a or somebody on your podcast, it's
• 31:04
  going to be very hard to actually bite into that market.
• 31:08
  So we were a very small podcast, but we had our friends that
• 31:12
  would listen to us. Yeah, all right.
• 31:16
  I I mean, way back in the day I I I used to listen to what was
• 31:23
  it? Justin Lebar.
• 31:24
  I still, I still talk to that guy on occasion.
• 31:26
  He's pretty cool. They had a podcast, but that was
• 31:29
  in like the 20, like the 2000, not even 10s.
• 31:35
  I just it's it's interesting to me that people have that much
• 31:39
  time to talk about rest. I can't even be asked to.
• 31:41
  Watch the shit. I most people don't know this,
• 31:48
  but I used to. I actually used to like.
• 31:51
  I actually used to like Co host a podcast with a few friends and
• 31:56
  we would talk like the latest like comic book news even before
• 32:00
  like the Marvel movies were a thing.
• 32:07
  Unfortunately, none of those episodes exist anymore because
• 32:11
  they were on Podbean and we had, we had like the free version of
• 32:18
  Podbean, which only let us like upload like X Mountain.
• 32:23
  If you didn't use it for like if you didn't log in or whatnot
• 32:27
  every few months it would get, it would just delete everything.
• 32:32
  So yeah, that's what happened, but yeah.
• 32:40
  Yeah Mark, it's not great but it was fun with with with my Co
• 32:44
  host that that I did it with. We we got a few like indie
• 32:50
  wrestlers to to be guests a couple of times.
• 32:53
  It was fun. Yeah, yeah, I I was just
• 32:56
  wondering because like, I didn't know what that economy was like
• 32:59
  because I've said wrestlers have come in and have a bunch of
• 33:03
  podcasts now, but I didn't know what that ecosystem used to look
• 33:08
  like. I'm sure there was like a
• 33:10
  million. I know that they flood you on
• 33:13
  YouTube if you watch wrestling. Anything with all these British
• 33:16
  guys who are a bunch of left wing things.
• 33:19
  I've been trying not to say on the air.
• 33:22
  And they have their opinions like that.
• 33:24
  Oh, Hulk Hogan's the worst ever. Fuck you.
• 33:28
  Oh yeah, If you catch it with on YouTube, that's all the British
• 33:33
  guys and it's yeah, you. Can rest assured if you hear a
• 33:39
  wrestling video and the first voice you hear is a British
• 33:41
  voice, They are left wing, generally extremists, and they
• 33:48
  hate the kind of wrestling that I grew up liking too, so I have
• 33:51
  literally nothing in common with them.
• 33:54
  Really. Really.
• 33:55
  Because every every time I turn on YouTube and hear British
• 33:59
  people, it's it's it's the Brits that complain about fucking
• 34:05
  pronouns. No, I mean, I mean for
• 34:08
  wrestling, right? Like if they're If you click on
• 34:11
  wrestling content on YouTube and it's a British guy, you have a
• 34:15
  very good chance that you're gonna hear a bunch of left wing
• 34:19
  buzzwords before the video's over.
• 34:21
  No, no that that. I don't watch much wrestling
• 34:26
  cons on YouTube, but. That's.
• 34:27
  Why? I don't 'cause they they
• 34:29
  saturated the market with that shit for so long.
• 34:32
  Well the the same is true with like soy boys and like comic
• 34:37
  books, books now on on YouTube like.
• 34:42
  I bet. Like like the OK, this was this
• 34:47
  was in the this was in the news. So Disney just hired like this
• 34:54
  new like woke activist to like come in and and write like like
• 35:00
  the new Star Wars film And now like all these like YouTube
• 35:05
  channels like Star Wars Theory who were originally like, you
• 35:10
  know, huffing Disney's like farts basically like now.
• 35:14
  Now they're upset that the woke are.
• 35:18
  Now they're gonna ruin Star Wars.
• 35:19
  They haven't done it already. Right, right.
• 35:22
  Yeah. It's like it's like, oh now.
• 35:26
  He's been a female for years. Yeah, that well, that's the
• 35:29
  whole thing. And they're and they're like.
• 35:31
  Not been female or black or gay enough.
• 35:35
  Right. They're they're like they're
• 35:38
  like you guys we have to put a stop to this and and I'm I'm
• 35:42
  over here like I gave Max and I have talked at this like we both
• 35:46
  we both lost Star Wars but we we both gave up trying to save it
• 35:50
  like a long a long. Time.
• 35:53
  I am rooting for Disney to fucking die.
• 35:57
  I hope Disney dies. I hope that company goes under.
• 36:00
  I hope all their assets get sold off at auction.
• 36:03
  They've proven time and time again that they deserve that
• 36:07
  fate. That's what I hope for.
• 36:10
  So no, I don't want to fix anything.
• 36:12
  Yeah, put out all, yo, you put a woman in it and make her gay
• 36:16
  like Cartman said, until you're blue in the fucking face.
• 36:19
  And then we'll see when when Star Wars and Marvel and
• 36:22
  everything else is getting fucking sold off piece meal at
• 36:25
  auction to these other corporations and then and then
• 36:29
  fucking Disney World gets bulldozed.
• 36:31
  That's what I want. It's it's hilarious that, like
• 36:36
  I've been. Saying Fuck Disney since 1998
• 36:39
  Sam. Fuck Disney.
• 36:43
  Yeah, no, I was, I was just amazed at this.
• 36:49
  Like made headline. I'm like, why is this
• 36:52
  newsworthy? Like that's the real thing.
• 36:54
  It's like we've we've known Disney as shit for years, like.
• 36:59
  It's not as the message. The only news part of it is them
• 37:04
  getting angry about it and reacting to it online.
• 37:07
  And if that didn't, if that part of the cycle didn't happen, the
• 37:10
  whole thing would have fallen on deaf ears.
• 37:14
  You think the last. Block.
• 37:16
  They ain't gonna go watch the new star.
• 37:17
  Wars movie. They already won.
• 37:19
  They took it over. They got it.
• 37:20
  Yeah. They don't watch, they don't
• 37:23
  watch the movies, they don't read the comic books, they don't
• 37:26
  play the video games. They just ruin them and then
• 37:29
  move on. Yeah, they they they just
• 37:32
  complain. It's It's endless.
• 37:37
  And then these companies go fucking bankrupt.
• 37:39
  Well actually see the problem is, is they are already on a
• 37:42
  trajectory towards that when they start to get woke.
• 37:46
  In fact they get woke to try and make money and sometimes it
• 37:49
  works. And this is a thing I think
• 37:51
  people on the right kind of don't get is that sometimes
• 37:58
  going woke makes them a lot of money and not just off a left
• 38:02
  wing people off your hate clicks.
• 38:05
  Yeah, yeah, that's that's my one.
• 38:08
  That is my one problem with like with like, ads and whatnot.
• 38:12
  It's like he admits that, like that, well, he hates a lot of
• 38:16
  this shit. He makes a lot of money off off
• 38:19
  of it. So you know.
• 38:25
  His entire business model is to hate watch.
• 38:29
  He has the use of stuff he knows is gonna be bad shooting fish in
• 38:33
  a barrel. By the way, it's lazy.
• 38:39
  I could do that. Anybody could do that?
• 38:43
  Yeah, you know. You know what?
• 38:46
  You know what's not bad though, is Shadows of Deception.
• 38:52
  This is, this is good. This is this is this is my
• 38:59
  favorite type of RPG to play guys where I I not only do I
• 39:04
  create a character, I create the entire universe.
• 39:09
  Why do you think IDM? Yeah.
• 39:13
  You get to be God. Yeah, mind.
• 39:17
  But see. But see, that's the beauty.
• 39:19
  You get to be God in your own mind in the book, right?
• 39:23
  But the people who read it, you know, they they read it.
• 39:26
  Not thinking about that. But when you're the Dungeon
• 39:29
  Master, you get to be God on the spot to a bunch of other people
• 39:32
  who all have to obey your rules. Yeah, that.
• 39:35
  Yeah, that's true. And.
• 39:38
  You should get. I'm telling you, Stan, we should
• 39:40
  get AD and D game going of some kind.
• 39:43
  Yeah, we, yeah, we we I'd be. Down.
• 39:47
  We yeah, we the the three of us plus Shmuley need to get need to
• 39:55
  get a a ADND going and we we need.
• 40:00
  We need to have to like we because Shmuley will get himself
• 40:03
  into like predicaments, so. He does.
• 40:07
  I've played. I've had him at my table and he
• 40:10
  got into, excuse me, he got into the predicaments completely out
• 40:19
  of my control. Because he rolls.
• 40:23
  So badly, multiple times. Fun story, was he.
• 40:29
  I had mentioned there was a there was a they were at an
• 40:32
  abandoned fortress and there was latrines, right?
• 40:36
  And in the the thing for the map, it's said to mention that
• 40:39
  there's a glint of gold at the bottom of the latrine and then
• 40:43
  you roll to see what it is, right?
• 40:46
  And he he rolled a fucking critical he rolled A1 and I'm
• 40:51
  like, your hand is stuck. I had to figure something out,
• 40:55
  right? What?
• 40:55
  What happened? I'm like, your hand is stuck in
• 40:57
  this fucking old latrine full of shit and he's like, can I pull
• 41:02
  it out? And I was like, roll a strength
• 41:04
  check, but he was a rogue, so he didn't have a lot of strength,
• 41:07
  so he failed that and he actually rolled A1.
• 41:10
  So then I'm like, OK, he rolled the one again, OK, shit starts
• 41:15
  shooting out everywhere. And then and then he had Rick
• 41:19
  come in. Rick was a dwarf.
• 41:21
  Rick tried to pull him out, and then he and then he rolled 1.
• 41:24
  And so then I'm like, meanwhile, my wife's character is in a
• 41:28
  whole different part of of the dungeon, exploring other things,
• 41:33
  fighting orcs, and they're just covered in shit.
• 41:36
  Rolling around. Between.
• 41:38
  I had. That's hilarious.
• 41:40
  Very little to do with it. Yeah, they felt like the actual
• 41:45
  wood of the toilet because they rolled one again, broke and they
• 41:49
  fell in and it did no damage. But now you're covered in shit
• 41:54
  and all that was. There was.
• 41:55
  I rolled it out and it was 1 gold like a penny basically.
• 42:00
  You're nicer than me. I probably would have had the
• 42:02
  shit eat his hand away. I just yeah.
• 42:07
  Yeah. So yeah.
• 42:09
  Well, that well, that that sounds like schmooly and and
• 42:16
  Iron Man getting into shit, so. He was a he was a mass rapist as
• 42:23
  well. Oh yeah.
• 42:26
  Oh yeah, that's right. Ishmael Shmueli Rob Shmueli Rob
• 42:33
  himself as like as almost like a villain of swords.
• 42:39
  He was. He was lawful evil.
• 42:42
  Yeah. But because he's lawful.
• 42:44
  Every, every. And usually I don't let like an
• 42:47
  evil character in a party. But I figured it'd be all right.
• 42:50
  It was all right except for the. Wait, wait, so wait wait.
• 42:55
  So you mean that that like that Shmuley was basically playing
• 42:58
  himself in the in the in the DND game?
• 43:03
  Well, yeah, he had severe autism and he was greedy.
• 43:08
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 43:10
  Yeah, exactly, exactly. No AADAD&D game.
• 43:18
  I'll tell you who. Who would be fun to play AD and
• 43:21
  D with this curtain, do a little.
• 43:24
  Playing D&D with Curt would be hilarious on so many levels
• 43:33
  because we we could probably get into like a whole philosophical
• 43:39
  discussion about the law fair of DND or something like that.
• 43:46
  You know, I I do like an old school game too, where like you
• 43:52
  could die pretty easily. That's what I'm preferable to
• 43:56
  the new game. It's hard to die.
• 43:58
  It's really hard to die in 5th edition.
• 44:01
  Well, they also have, like they always have, like fucking
• 44:03
  wheelchair ramps and shit. And the new edition from what
• 44:07
  I've. Oh yeah, I fucking hate.
• 44:09
  That shit correct. And you can customize your
• 44:11
  wheelchair as well. Fucking hate it.
• 44:14
  See like. 'Cause that's what you guys
• 44:16
  want, right? Let me ask you is your fantasy
• 44:19
  if you get to be anyone you want?
• 44:21
  Yeah, I totally wanna be in a fucking wheelchair during
• 44:23
  fucking fantasy. You wanna be in a wheelchair?
• 44:29
  I want to be the guy that gets like magically like my legs
• 44:33
  revived or somehow in the fantasy.
• 44:35
  But but Sam, hold on. You have the choice to not have
• 44:38
  anything wrong with your legs. Yeah, yeah, that.
• 44:41
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like I would rather have.
• 44:45
  Like, like you probably don't even think of that.
• 44:47
  You create a character idea you know.
• 44:52
  Yeah, well there there are no disabled characters in this yet.
• 45:00
  He's he's going to make a cripple.
• 45:01
  Be the villain. Watch.
• 45:03
  He would I I could spoil something, but I'm not.
• 45:10
  He smiled. Because we're on to him.
• 45:12
  I'm I'm not. I'm not going.
• 45:15
  I'm not going to. Morpheus already kind of knows
• 45:19
  one of the characters that I'm going to cripple, but I swore
• 45:24
  him to secret secrecy. Are they going to get crippled?
• 45:29
  Yeah, I. Thought you were going to make a
• 45:31
  new character, but no, that's even better.
• 45:33
  Somebody will get. Crippled.
• 45:35
  Yeah. No, no, some no, someone's
• 45:38
  that's gone. Action.
• 45:40
  Yeah, someone's someone's going to get crippled and.
• 45:44
  Does he get magical powers from it?
• 45:48
  No, no. Because this is this is a
• 45:51
  grounded in reality political thriller I I.
• 45:54
  I've been told my whole life, you guys have magical powers.
• 45:57
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 45:59
  Well, listen, we you know. If Disney wasn't shit, we could
• 46:03
  get to the front of the line. Yeah, yeah, you can.
• 46:07
  You can skip lines like. That's a magical power.
• 46:10
  What are you talking about? Well, we you, we have you ever.
• 46:13
  Had to wait. In those lines, Sam, that is a
• 46:16
  magical power. Well, I mean.
• 46:19
  Oh, I know it is. I mean, listen, they know what
• 46:24
  they no longer want us like get discounted tickets or anything
• 46:27
  like that, so. That that was a magical power
• 46:32
  that you don't have any more. That's all.
• 46:35
  The the only the only kids that the only people that have
• 46:39
  magical powers anymore are are. Transgenders, yeah.
• 46:45
  I was going to say make a wish kit.
• 46:47
  I was going to say make a wish kids.
• 46:49
  But no, you're right. Same thing.
• 46:52
  Transgender. Make a wish, kid.
• 46:55
  Look, they're both terminal, OK? That's all I'm saying.
• 47:00
  Yeah, although, although, my. Terminally ill in the other case
• 47:06
  is terminally retarded. Although although my my make a
• 47:12
  wish would have been like far different than than most, the
• 47:15
  other make a will a A wish. What would your make a wish be,
• 47:21
  Sam? I'm not.
• 47:24
  I'm not sure. I wonder.
• 47:27
  I'm not converted, no. No, you.
• 47:30
  Brought it up. Now you gotta do it.
• 47:33
  What's your make a wish? Well.
• 47:38
  Maybe we could make it happen. It's not.
• 47:43
  Well, it's not going to be possible anymore since the
• 47:45
  Playboy Mansion doesn't even exist anymore, but that would
• 47:49
  have been it. Oh, OK Well, what if you had to
• 47:54
  make a wish now? Well.
• 47:59
  The Bunny Man down in Vegas. Now if if I had to make a wish,
• 48:03
  now my see my one, my one make a wish actually did come true in
• 48:08
  2016 and that was Trump becoming president.
• 48:15
  That's. Not a make a wish.
• 48:16
  That's a cop out. That's like saying World Peace.
• 48:19
  Well, I mean, we pretty. We gotta be like, I wanna meet
• 48:22
  John Cena. Oh, my God.
• 48:23
  Let's get Sam to meet John Cena. Guys, that'd be hilarious.
• 48:28
  I'd I'd rather meet Trish Stratus if we're gonna go down
• 48:32
  that round. No, but it's gotta.
• 48:33
  But John Cena's the most likely to actually do it.
• 48:37
  Oh, well, no. What?
• 48:38
  What would be, what would be even funnier is if I met John
• 48:41
  Cena and then I basically hold like, a comment and then I and
• 48:46
  then I go full hill. I go full heel.
• 48:49
  And I'm like, why the fuck were you speaking Mandarin?
• 48:54
  I love it. I see that.
• 48:56
  Or, you know, you challenge him to A.
• 48:58
  Fight. No, that that's what that's what
• 49:00
  I that's what I would do. I I would I would challenge him.
• 49:03
  I would be like, are you are you Team America or are you Team
• 49:07
  China, so. Ask him to bend over thin and
• 49:13
  say, oh, I just wanted to get a good look at that bald spot.
• 49:18
  Have you seen him wrestle recently?
• 49:20
  That thing is like you can see it from space.
• 49:23
  John has like no hair left. No.
• 49:28
  Well, he's like, he's like close to like 45 now, isn't he?
• 49:34
  Yeah, I'm. 40 I haven't lost any.
• 49:38
  No, no. I'm a John Cena.
• 49:41
  But what I'm saying is like, he's old.
• 49:43
  He's older than you and Morpheus, right?
• 49:45
  Like he's like. Not by that much though, like.
• 49:49
  It's like between 45 and 50 I think.
• 49:51
  Yeah. Well, like that.
• 49:53
  That's what I'm saying. Like he's not like.
• 49:56
  At the age where you you start balding, for a lot of guys,
• 49:59
  sure, I'm allowed to make fun of Superman's fucking balding.
• 50:04
  Well, no. What I was gonna say is like,
• 50:06
  he's at the age where like most guys in that profession like
• 50:09
  retire and like, you know, and shit, right?
• 50:13
  Like with like high intensity training and stuff.
• 50:18
  They're doing a little bit and a lot of guys are on less drugs
• 50:21
  they're doing, they can go a little longer.
• 50:23
  Nowadays Sting is pushing his things like 65.
• 50:26
  He should probably go home, but. Sting is.
• 50:31
  Oh, you mean the wrestler? I mean, even back in the 60s,
• 50:34
  like Jackie Fargo wrestled into his 60s or 70s.
• 50:39
  I I was going to say Sting is actually 72 but wrong.
• 50:43
  Different sting. Yeah, yeah, The Sting.
• 50:46
  That's wrestling. And we're talking about
• 50:48
  wrestlers that sting, yeah. And yeah.
• 50:51
  Since we're on. Real sting, as I might say, you
• 50:56
  know. Yeah.
• 50:59
  I got into it with Jim Cornette over over something and I was
• 51:02
  like it was going on something about handgun guns and shit and
• 51:06
  like, and how many of your friends, Jim carried guns back
• 51:10
  in the day. Him included.
• 51:13
  Exactly. He fucking blocked me for that
• 51:15
  question. He.
• 51:16
  Used to talk about pulling guns on people on his show.
• 51:19
  Yeah, the little bitch fucking blocked me.
• 51:22
  Nah. See, The thing is, I like
• 51:24
  Cornett. I just don't talk like, I don't
• 51:27
  listen to the stuff. He talks about politics because
• 51:29
  he's retarded, but he knows it's about wrestling and he's an
• 51:33
  entertaining guy. And I just accepted as well.
• 51:40
  Keith Keith Olbermann once blocked me so.
• 51:45
  Base. I I just felt that that the
• 51:48
  whole handgun situation needed to be asked of Jim.
• 51:53
  Yeah. Yeah, and I believe he was
• 51:55
  sticking up for those FTR guys when one of them got busted for
• 51:58
  pulling a gun. Allegedly.
• 52:00
  He was. Yeah, that's a bad look when you
• 52:04
  think they should be. Whatever.
• 52:06
  Yeah, he says. Retarded.
• 52:08
  Shit, I don't pay much. Attached.
• 52:09
  I don't. That's the thing.
• 52:11
  There was a point. I followed wrestlers on Twitter
• 52:13
  and over the years I got rid of all of them.
• 52:17
  Pretty much. I think I follow our truth.
• 52:19
  I think he's the only wrestler I still follow.
• 52:22
  Pretty sure it's just our truth. And you know what?
• 52:27
  No regrets, no apologies. Our truth is the man.
• 52:30
  Our. Truth.
• 52:32
  I. Honestly.
• 52:34
  Yeah, if you. Our truth then.
• 52:36
  You fucking There's something wrong with you.
• 52:38
  I had followed a bunch of like comic book writers for the same
• 52:42
  reason So and I started falling real.
• 52:47
  I well, not not that comic book writers are like I started
• 52:51
  following more like you know thrill writers in in my genre
• 52:56
  so. I think the only ones I follow
• 53:02
  are like old school fucking D&D guys anymore.
• 53:08
  Yeah. You know, it's I like, I don't,
• 53:12
  I don't like people, man. It's just generally I don't like
• 53:16
  grifting is what it is and everybody's a grift today.
• 53:20
  Mostly, mostly everybody, not us, so.
• 53:25
  Yeah. Anyway, you were saying about
• 53:29
  that book, Sam? Yeah, yeah.
• 53:32
  As as I was saying, my my birthday's about to come up.
• 53:38
  So if you want to get, if you want to get me something nice,
• 53:43
  buy yourself a copy of Shadows of Deception.
• 53:46
  That is the last. Segue in the history of our show
• 53:49
  right there. So that's how that's how you do
• 53:52
  an ad read, folks. So yeah.
• 54:02
  We got news. There was no news, right?
• 54:05
  It was a peaceful week of everybody loved each other and.
• 54:12
  Well, I mean, Joe Biden doesn't know where he is half the time,
• 54:16
  but. Well, he just loves everybody
• 54:18
  because you have to. Because you you don't know who
• 54:21
  they are. You know.
• 54:23
  Yeah. Oh, we.
• 54:27
  Well, we finally fixed Morpheus's microphone issue.
• 54:31
  That was fun. Where are you, man?
• 54:38
  So fucking dumb. We're going to get into the
• 54:41
  crazy election season this year. You guys ready?
• 54:45
  It's we're almost in full swing. I did.
• 54:50
  You guys I mean. Fucking Hunter, Biden bailed on
• 54:53
  that hearing earlier. He he bailed on someone.
• 55:04
  Yeah, he he bailed on some type of hearing that he just readily
• 55:08
  showed up to, said he was all ready to take questions, and
• 55:11
  then he fucking bailed. Sounds about right.
• 55:15
  Yeah. The crack wore off.
• 55:19
  Yep. He did did.
• 55:22
  You I've known this about. Crack heads, right?
• 55:24
  They're really brave when they're high, and then they
• 55:28
  immediately realize how stupid that is when they're not.
• 55:33
  Did you see it? Was they get not high very
• 55:37
  quickly and it happens all at once in the middle of them doing
• 55:40
  the stupid brave thing that they would never do if they weren't
• 55:44
  high. So I'm picturing Hunter and me
• 55:48
  and like, yes, I will answer all your questions.
• 55:50
  I'm going to tell everybody I gotta go.
• 55:55
  And then, as soon as Marjorie Taylor's been sort of asking a
• 55:57
  question, he was out. Yeah, yeah.
• 55:59
  He's like, he's like, I'm going to tell you everything.
• 56:02
  You know what? I need some crack.
• 56:05
  Be right back. I'm gonna go.
• 56:08
  I'm gonna go to store and get a peg of smokes.
• 56:10
  You want anything? Yeah, I I guess some reporter
• 56:14
  asked him what type of crack he smoked.
• 56:17
  That that's a. Fair question.
• 56:23
  That actually, that actually, whoever asked that like has done
• 56:27
  more journalism than like, in most of the media.
• 56:36
  Yeah. I mean.
• 56:39
  I suppose they probably do have different strains of crack.
• 56:41
  I never thought about it. They probably have funny
• 56:45
  nicknames for him too, huh? I I mean, I mean, I mean we we
• 56:51
  know that, we know that like, but we know that Hunter is like
• 56:54
  paying for for like premium crack.
• 56:57
  He's not paying for hood crack. Yeah, yeah.
• 57:00
  He's not getting his crack in Harlem.
• 57:02
  Yeah, he's no. He's he could smuggle into the
• 57:05
  White House. Yeah.
• 57:07
  No, yeah. I agreed.
• 57:08
  You know premium crack. Yeah the yeah, the high, the
• 57:14
  high grade crack. Apparently you can just leave on
• 57:16
  the on the wrestler desk, so. Well, that was coke.
• 57:23
  See. See, The thing is, is the the
• 57:27
  the coke is is not the same. There's a chemical process to
• 57:31
  why they make it a rock. And you would want the coke on
• 57:35
  the Resolute Desk, I think, because it's easier to snort,
• 57:40
  right? If you smoke it, if you're
• 57:42
  smoking crack in the White House, you're going to set off
• 57:44
  an alarm. You got to think about these
• 57:48
  things if you're a massive drug addict like Hunter Biden, you
• 57:51
  know? Yeah, that.
• 57:53
  Yeah, that's true. And me not being a drug addict,
• 57:55
  I hadn't considered that. So that's.
• 57:57
  Right. Yeah.
• 57:58
  You want to sneak that shit in? You got to be sneaky.
• 58:01
  And it still didn't work because he just left it there.
• 58:05
  He probably figured, like, this is the thing.
• 58:07
  What I mean about like, particularly with coke users,
• 58:11
  they'll do the crazy thing and then realize there's no way out
• 58:15
  of it when they're not high anymore.
• 58:18
  And so he's like, oh God, I can't take this back out through
• 58:22
  security. What am I going to fucking do?
• 58:24
  He just leaves it there. I'm telling you, that's exactly
• 58:28
  what fucking happened. He he felt like the man because
• 58:32
  he fucking blew a whole bunch of it before he smuggled the coke
• 58:35
  in, right? And he's like, yeah, he walked
• 58:38
  stroll right past and they're. Like good morning, Mr. Hunter.
• 58:41
  And then? He's like, yeah, yeah, He put
• 58:43
  that shit down on the desk. He blew some lines.
• 58:46
  He's chilling out. He's like, I can't do anymore.
• 58:49
  I'm gonna chill out. And then he's like, oh, shit,
• 58:52
  that seems. Like a did I just want some
• 58:55
  coke. Did I just walk my Secret
• 58:57
  Service with an ounce? I'm retarded.
• 59:01
  I gotta. I'm not.
• 59:02
  Telling this shit with me No Imagine.
• 59:05
  Imagine his portion. Imagine his.
• 59:09
  Imagine his. Imagine his dad snores a lot
• 59:11
  and. It kill him.
• 59:15
  So that's why he's cooking sometimes.
• 59:18
  Yeah. Yeah, no, no, that that is that
• 59:21
  is why he's coherent, so. I don't even know if Joe could
• 59:28
  like snort it. I feel like you'd have to like.
• 59:32
  Inject that shit or. Something.
• 59:36
  Did did you see that? Did you see that, that, Did you
• 59:40
  see that like that, like something with like Biden and
• 59:43
  Hitler was trending this week? I did not.
• 59:48
  That actually, that actually was pretty funny, like.
• 59:52
  I think it was like progressive Hitler or something like that,
• 59:54
  yeah. Oh, OK.
• 59:55
  Yeah, I think might have might have seen it after all.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah. Joe, you guys so glad that he
• 1:00:06
  won, huh? Yeah, everybody's just so happy
• 1:00:09
  with the performance that he's done.
• 1:00:11
  I mean. 'Cause they had to get the evil
• 1:00:13
  orange man out of office. He's clearly, you know, he's on
• 1:00:16
  track to win again, obviously, no matter what, anything says
• 1:00:20
  'cause he's everybody loves Joe and everybody thinks he's doing
• 1:00:23
  a great job. I let a video play today on
• 1:00:28
  YouTube and the next video fed me was MSNBC, and that's what
• 1:00:31
  they were saying. They were saying everybody loves
• 1:00:32
  Joe Biden. Yeah, well, and.
• 1:00:37
  The And that the economy is actually doing good.
• 1:00:40
  OK, bigot. You know, I I love, I love Onion
• 1:00:46
  headlines as much as the next. No, no, no this.
• 1:00:49
  Was actual MSNBC on air coverage, the economy good in
• 1:00:54
  The only people who are saying otherwise are bigots.
• 1:00:57
  That's what they said. No, no, I I know.
• 1:01:00
  No, I know. I just like I said.
• 1:01:02
  I love the. People of color have never had
• 1:01:05
  more disposable income, so clearly the economy is doing
• 1:01:08
  great. Oh, wow.
• 1:01:12
  That's kind of, that's kind of racist.
• 1:01:16
  No, no, no, whatever that. Would that be great?
• 1:01:21
  Because. Look, colored people have money.
• 1:01:25
  That's good. Shut up, bigot.
• 1:01:28
  And and then. MSNBC told me.
• 1:01:31
  OK, and so MSNBC is implying that like, they never had income
• 1:01:38
  before. I think you missed the part that
• 1:01:41
  see, you're replying to it as if I didn't say shut up, bigot,
• 1:01:46
  right, right, right. You're not allowed to reply.
• 1:01:49
  Shut up. Bigot Well, well, see it.
• 1:01:53
  It's OK though. I I'm crippled.
• 1:01:55
  Like, I know, I know. Minorities, God damn it.
• 1:01:58
  I know MSNBC can't, like, tell. They're not even trans, though.
• 1:02:03
  Why would I listen? You're not like no melanin,
• 1:02:07
  you're not trans. So we need to be meet Crippled
• 1:02:10
  trans. OK, got it.
• 1:02:11
  Well, well, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm trans abled so.
• 1:02:18
  Trans abled. That's a good one.
• 1:02:23
  So. Really not a lot of news this
• 1:02:29
  week though, honestly. No.
• 1:02:33
  And then the one the. One about the Jewish tunnels
• 1:02:35
  yet? What Jewish tunnels?
• 1:02:37
  I, I we're not talking about the Jewish tunnels.
• 1:02:41
  Forget about the Jewish tunnels, OK?
• 1:02:44
  Wait, there there are. There are Jewish tunnels.
• 1:02:47
  There are Jewish tunnels. More theas.
• 1:02:50
  Yeah, in New York City. In New York.
• 1:02:53
  City, oh. Yeah.
• 1:02:56
  They caught, they caught like a guy climbing out of him and he's
• 1:03:00
  like in full Orthodox Jew regalia.
• 1:03:03
  And then yeah, apparently a bunch of Hasidic Jews in New
• 1:03:06
  York were digging tunnels. And they literally, you can
• 1:03:14
  watch the video, Sam, of this Jewish guy climbing out of like
• 1:03:17
  the sewer. The most prominent theory that.
• 1:03:20
  I've and then it runs off because he knows he's been seen.
• 1:03:24
  Because of 2020 and being denied First Amendment rights to
• 1:03:30
  practice. That's kind of what I thought.
• 1:03:32
  Like they literally were being suppressed by the mayor at the
• 1:03:36
  time. In 2020, they weren't allowed to
• 1:03:38
  go to parks, They weren't allowed to have religious
• 1:03:40
  services. And Jews generally will then
• 1:03:44
  practice their religion in secret.
• 1:03:46
  That's the thing that Jews have done for a very long time.
• 1:03:49
  Yeah. So yeah, it wouldn't surprise me
• 1:03:53
  if that's what they were doing at all.
• 1:03:54
  So wait, wait, Max. This makes so much sense now.
• 1:03:58
  No, no. It's part of a grand conspiracy.
• 1:04:03
  No, no. This makes this makes so much
• 1:04:05
  sense now that that that explains why that explains why
• 1:04:09
  Craig Mansfeld was quiet the on Twitter this week.
• 1:04:14
  He was. He was in the tunnels.
• 1:04:17
  No, he well, he, well, see, Craig is an engineer, so he was
• 1:04:20
  helping, he was. Helping.
• 1:04:23
  Helping support the tunnel project.
• 1:04:26
  Yeah, you know, he he's. Totally.
• 1:04:29
  Want to put that on him? Craig, is it?
• 1:04:32
  Well, yeah. Well, you know.
• 1:04:35
  There is also no people saying that there was like a stained
• 1:04:38
  mattress and kids clothes in it and so clearly it's like a
• 1:04:41
  pedophile tunnel. So I don't know if we want to.
• 1:04:43
  I don't think that's true, by the way.
• 1:04:46
  Well, I don't know if I. Want to associate people with
• 1:04:49
  the? I did see the stained mattress
• 1:04:52
  in one of the clips, but I let the crib squirrels I I don't
• 1:04:54
  think I saw. Yeah, I.
• 1:04:58
  I mean there. Was shit in a tunnel I I.
• 1:05:02
  Mean. I mean, it's new.
• 1:05:05
  It's New York City. Like, like there there are
• 1:05:11
  mattresses on the sidewalks, you know, and shit.
• 1:05:14
  So like it. I mean, if you've ever, if
• 1:05:18
  you've ever been to Times Square, there's like, you know,
• 1:05:23
  there's weirdos down there. You never know if the Jews dug
• 1:05:27
  the tunnels, right? Or if they're just using the
• 1:05:31
  tunnels that were pre dug. For all we know, there could be
• 1:05:34
  tunnels back from. Yeah, like.
• 1:05:38
  From prohibition or bootlegging era or something, You never
• 1:05:42
  know. Yeah.
• 1:05:46
  It was funny, though, because there was one guy on Twitter who
• 1:05:49
  had said in December, he's like, I keep hearing Yiddish
• 1:05:53
  underneath it, and I don't have a basement.
• 1:05:55
  There's Jews below my house. And he's like, you all owe me an
• 1:05:59
  apology. And I'm like, you know what?
• 1:06:00
  I feel like people, if they said that you're crazy, probably do.
• 1:06:06
  They probably should say sorry, because yeah, you definitely
• 1:06:09
  heard Jews under your basement. I mean, to be fair, though,
• 1:06:18
  could you blame everybody in the world for doubting that?
• 1:06:22
  Absolutely no. Sounds like taking drugs.
• 1:06:25
  Yeah, sounds like you're you're doing some of the fucking, not
• 1:06:29
  even the Hunter's crack. You're doing like street math.
• 1:06:34
  Yeah. Some old PCP, I guess because
• 1:06:38
  it's New York City, PCP is hot over there.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah. So, yeah, we.
• 1:06:48
  Sam likes the PCP. No, I I no, I love.
• 1:06:55
  I love bullshit. I I I can't make, I can't make
• 1:07:00
  that joke so. So I guess you just love PCP
• 1:07:07
  then Sam is the big PCP supporter guys.
• 1:07:12
  I I I was gonna say I love cerebral palsy, but you know,
• 1:07:21
  well, I don't love it. I have it and that's about it.
• 1:07:25
  So. Right.
• 1:07:25
  You have cerebral palsy, but you love PCP.
• 1:07:30
  We got to get it. I mean.
• 1:07:35
  Sam be getting wet though. I I've I've never had, I've
• 1:07:42
  never had PCP. So you.
• 1:07:46
  Know I. Love that you.
• 1:07:47
  Sound guilty, even though it's pretty obvious that you're not?
• 1:07:52
  That's my favorite part is if I just say some wild shit about
• 1:07:56
  Sam, he will sound like it's true in denying it and it's
• 1:08:00
  clearly not. No, no, no.
• 1:08:04
  What's funny is I wrote is I wrote myself into a corner with
• 1:08:08
  that joke. So true.
• 1:08:10
  Now you gotta break yourself out of it, if you.
• 1:08:14
  Weren't on so much PCP, you could have found a way out, but.
• 1:08:21
  I don't. I, I no, I was gonna say, I I
• 1:08:26
  was gonna say yeah. See, see, Unlike, unlike Mersch,
• 1:08:32
  I won't stroke out like finish a bet.
• 1:08:38
  So. But would you suffer through if
• 1:08:42
  you're already stroking out mid mid joke?
• 1:08:47
  Would you get through the joke right?
• 1:08:51
  Make sure you get the punch line out.
• 1:08:52
  That's the important question. What's more important, Sam, the
• 1:08:57
  comedy or your health? Oh my, my health by far.
• 1:09:04
  Wrong answer. Yeah.
• 1:09:07
  And that, yeah. And that's that's why.
• 1:09:09
  That's why you'll. Always be in Mercy's shadow
• 1:09:11
  there I am. Yeah.
• 1:09:15
  That man, that man was willing to die for his four out of 10
• 1:09:19
  joke punchline. You will never be that dedicated
• 1:09:24
  to your craft. No, because I mean, I I'd like,
• 1:09:30
  here's the thing, like I'd actually like to, you know, I
• 1:09:34
  don't like to be able to stream for like, you know, another 20
• 1:09:37
  years at least so. So does.
• 1:09:41
  March. Well, yeah.
• 1:09:45
  But like, he's not he. Like, I'm surprised he's made it
• 1:09:49
  this far. Like he's had he's had two
• 1:09:53
  strokes in what, less than a month.
• 1:09:56
  So I. Wonder if he's even talked to a
• 1:09:59
  doctor about it, Because the interesting thing is, you could
• 1:10:02
  show the video. To a doctor.
• 1:10:05
  Yeah. The problem is, he won't do that
• 1:10:07
  because both times it came off of smoke and dabs or whatever,
• 1:10:10
  and they'll just tell him to stop doing.
• 1:10:12
  That. Stop the drugs merge.
• 1:10:16
  Yeah. Yeah, but I've had strokes.
• 1:10:19
  What do I do? Hey.
• 1:10:21
  Stop using drugs. No, but actually stroke actually
• 1:10:26
  Max, you just you just remind me of something we actually talked
• 1:10:29
  about this on on Gilded we should we should support Mersch
• 1:10:36
  running for Senate or for Congress.
• 1:10:39
  Oh. Right.
• 1:10:40
  The Federman thing. Yeah, 'cause because look how
• 1:10:42
  great it worked out hiring a stroke victim as a senator,
• 1:10:46
  right? Turns out the the Democrats
• 1:10:51
  underestimated how, you know, retarded he is.
• 1:10:55
  And he's doing stuff that they don't want.
• 1:10:58
  I'm saying we got a stroke victim.
• 1:11:01
  We know him. We.
• 1:11:04
  We we know him. We don't have them.
• 1:11:07
  But we know him. And he could be a senator for
• 1:11:10
  the state of Florida. Amazing.
• 1:11:12
  And then you could have Mersch and Fetterman yelling at each
• 1:11:15
  other in Congress. See, these trolls are thinking
• 1:11:18
  small potatoes. We need Mersch in.
• 1:11:20
  DC That's what we need. That that would be.
• 1:11:28
  That would be. That would be painful.
• 1:11:30
  Well, let's see, like, I'm pretty sure because I mean.
• 1:11:33
  Because all the stroke victims would would actually do more
• 1:11:36
  good for the country than the fucking idiots we have in now.
• 1:11:39
  Well, not just stroke victims, but also locales I think would
• 1:11:43
  be like, so imagine DSP as a senator, right?
• 1:11:49
  Like, let's go, let's get Boogie.
• 1:11:51
  Like who needs Chuck Schumer? We can have Boogie, Senator
• 1:11:55
  Boogie. Forget about Dianne Feinstein.
• 1:12:00
  Let's just get Ralph, although. That's right.
• 1:12:03
  And and forget about Nancy Pelosi, because Chris Chan,
• 1:12:07
  future Speaker of the House. I mean, I mean, I I did say it,
• 1:12:14
  but like, Chris Chan actually actually looks better than Nancy
• 1:12:18
  Pelosi does at this point, so. Not sure if gay, I'll make a
• 1:12:25
  note of that. But yeah, locales, locales in
• 1:12:31
  Congress. Why not, right?
• 1:12:33
  What's the difference? Well, and the and the well and
• 1:12:35
  then and then we just need to get like a homeless veteran guy
• 1:12:39
  to like run the VA, so. Well, I was thinking the
• 1:12:43
  homeless see 'cause we're doing the the retards locales and
• 1:12:46
  tranny party, right? And I think the guy that runs it
• 1:12:51
  has to be all of that. So like a back homeless trans
• 1:12:55
  veteran who had multiple strokes.
• 1:13:01
  And we'll get him. We'll tap him for the POTUS
• 1:13:03
  slot. 2028 Homeless Crackhead, Vietnam Veteran for President,
• 1:13:10
  2028. Taking it over, baby.
• 1:13:17
  So it. Would be worse than Biden, is
• 1:13:19
  the question. No.
• 1:13:21
  No. And he won't.
• 1:13:26
  Be homeless when he's presidency.
• 1:13:28
  Because it works in the white. House.
• 1:13:31
  Exactly and. You'll be a.
• 1:13:33
  Crackhead, though, And that seems to be OK You can bring
• 1:13:37
  crack in the White House no problem.
• 1:13:39
  So. Yeah, yeah, no, that that,
• 1:13:42
  that's The thing is like, yeah, he can just, if anyone's word at
• 1:13:49
  the Oval Office turning into a crack den, well, that's no
• 1:13:52
  problem anymore. Too late.
• 1:13:55
  Yeah. End of vile evil sickness for a
• 1:14:00
  long time, SJFK and Bill Clinton.
• 1:14:02
  And we didn't talk about the pussy smoke, you know?
• 1:14:06
  Yeah. Speaking of that Pussy Smoke
• 1:14:12
  T-shirts, we got to get on that. Yeah, we.
• 1:14:16
  Wait, hold on. Have you been working on the
• 1:14:19
  Pussy Smoke T-shirts? Because you're the one that
• 1:14:22
  coined the phrase. For fuck's sake, y'all haven't
• 1:14:28
  settled on what you want. I.
• 1:14:32
  We want T-shirts with pussy smoke.
• 1:14:34
  We. Yeah, but you discussed multiple
• 1:14:37
  different designs, like a cat with its tail on fire.
• 1:14:41
  I know that was one of them. OK, OK, we'll work out the D We
• 1:14:44
  need Pussy Smoke T-shirts is all.
• 1:14:46
  OK, this is what. Has to be in.
• 1:14:50
  Like cloud letters? Cloud letters, yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah, absolutely. Well.
• 1:14:57
  Well, we need, we need, we need, we need Craig to help design
• 1:15:02
  the. Oh man.
• 1:15:03
  And we could put like the different formulas for how we
• 1:15:06
  calculated it all around it. Yeah, yeah, it's a math joke.
• 1:15:14
  No. What?
• 1:15:15
  What? What?
• 1:15:15
  No what? What's?
• 1:15:16
  What's even funnier is that we actually got after we did our
• 1:15:20
  episode. We we actually got the guys on
• 1:15:24
  the fake untitled podcast to to to to talk about it too.
• 1:15:30
  Well, they had to check his work.
• 1:15:32
  Yeah, and it and it was like it was the most autistic
• 1:15:39
  engineering. See.
• 1:15:42
  See, She made the joke, she said.
• 1:15:44
  Pussy smoke while we were talking about it.
• 1:15:47
  And then it became the topic of not only two episodes of our
• 1:15:51
  show, but it spun off into an episode of the the engineers who
• 1:15:56
  usually talk about science arguing about Pussy smoke for at
• 1:16:00
  least an hour. Yeah.
• 1:16:03
  How How does that make you feel? Are you proud of your meme?
• 1:16:11
  You're you're what? Your wife may be the most
• 1:16:13
  powerful woman in podcasting, and she's not.
• 1:16:21
  And the funniest thing about that is like, she doesn't even
• 1:16:23
  have a podcast of Brown that that I know of.
• 1:16:27
  Not that I know of either. But yeah, I drive her crazy.
• 1:16:36
  I I test a lot of my jokes on her, you know?
• 1:16:39
  And if I get a reaction something similar to like or
• 1:16:47
  usually I know that means I can use it on the show.
• 1:16:52
  What about what I just like what I just like Death Eyes.
• 1:16:59
  The Death Stare is like a 5050, you know, because it doesn't
• 1:17:04
  give me enough information to go off of.
• 1:17:10
  What What I think is like, how many times did she give you the
• 1:17:13
  death stare though? Not even, like, just relating to
• 1:17:17
  the podcast, yeah. I think that number is
• 1:17:21
  uncountable. I'm getting it right now.
• 1:17:29
  Well, I won't. I look at, I'm looking at.
• 1:17:31
  Your facial. It's pretty intense, too.
• 1:17:34
  Actually. Yeah, I yeah, I can tell you.
• 1:17:39
  You tortured that poor woman by pretending to your retard at the
• 1:17:43
  mall. That's true.
• 1:17:46
  Pretending. Yeah, I was pretending.
• 1:17:52
  So that will that will, that will be, that will forever be my
• 1:17:57
  favorite Max story. Jokes on them.
• 1:18:02
  I was only pretending to be retarded.
• 1:18:07
  Yeah. But but the joke's on her, you
• 1:18:12
  know, because she had no idea what to do.
• 1:18:16
  Most people were looking at her like she was mean.
• 1:18:23
  You gotta hide in your. Hands right now.
• 1:18:29
  Yeah, well, I, I, you know, I I can only imagine what most I I
• 1:18:41
  can imagine that like you're that you that your brain must
• 1:18:46
  just run on jokes constantly. Something like that, that's,
• 1:18:54
  yeah, that's pretty on point, I mean.
• 1:19:02
  And I mean, yeah, that, that. That range is run on instantly.
• 1:19:11
  I just got a depth. There so I could be.
• 1:19:15
  I mean. Might be wrong, I don't know.
• 1:19:18
  I mean, Shmu Shmuley's lie is like, God favors the fun here,
• 1:19:22
  right? And like more.
• 1:19:25
  Often I got a middle finger. That's.
• 1:19:30
  Oh. That's something, right?
• 1:19:35
  There's a joke there, but I'm going to behave.
• 1:19:40
  Yeah. She said.
• 1:19:43
  Now you have to say it. Nope.
• 1:19:49
  Well, you know, your, your, your.
• 1:19:50
  Your response should have should have been next.
• 1:19:53
  Is that an offer? I no comment.
• 1:20:01
  Yeah, I I also love that. Like, I love how that flag, how
• 1:20:10
  you've had that Trump 2024 flag up for like.
• 1:20:15
  I got it 2020. Yeah, since before I knew you
• 1:20:21
  so. I.
• 1:20:24
  Like we had a 2020 flag up and we had a 2016 flag up.
• 1:20:31
  Yeah, you. Can't put them up outside.
• 1:20:36
  No. Oh oh God, no political.
• 1:20:39
  Stuff, Well, they don't put the other side up either.
• 1:20:44
  It's one of those deals. Well, well, that we're some
• 1:20:48
  people. Out here that have.
• 1:20:49
  Trump displays, though, that's for sure.
• 1:20:55
  That is good though that. Negative Trump displays.
• 1:21:01
  It's not a lot of providing anything in this area.
• 1:21:05
  There is on one St. I see it all the the what is it?
• 1:21:12
  The Brandon one. Let's go, Brandon.
• 1:21:15
  They. Have thing of it like just like
• 1:21:19
  nailed to their tree. There's a Let's Go Brandon's
• 1:21:22
  store there was not that far from here.
• 1:21:29
  Yeah, they the the the Ron Sanditz campaign store is.
• 1:21:38
  Oh, he's still alive. Yeah, I forgot about him.
• 1:21:40
  Well, his campaign store pretty much went bankrupt in Florida.
• 1:21:45
  So because no one was buying T-shirts, so.
• 1:21:54
  He's gonna win, guys. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:59
  We beat Trump. Remember how sure they were?
• 1:22:04
  Oh well, well, you haven't. You haven't checked into Bill
• 1:22:06
  Mitchell's Twitter timeline, have you?
• 1:22:09
  No. Bill.
• 1:22:12
  Bill Bill Mitchell is positively sure he's going to win Iowa.
• 1:22:18
  Still oh, Iowa. But not the primary, right?
• 1:22:20
  It's not. Gonna well I I mean I mean Max
• 1:22:25
  this is this is you know this is Bill Mitchell like top you know
• 1:22:30
  political strategist if if DeSantis wins Iowa that pretty
• 1:22:35
  much means that he's won the. Cause no one's ever won Iowa and
• 1:22:40
  then lost the whole fucking thing before.
• 1:22:42
  Yeah, I got you. No, no.
• 1:22:43
  Never. Never.
• 1:22:46
  Except every time. But that's, you know, that's an.
• 1:22:49
  Outline, yeah. I remember the great winner of
• 1:22:56
  Iowa, Ron Paul, winning the presidency, right?
• 1:23:01
  The fuck. Yeah.
• 1:23:04
  Ron Paul was. A lot more.
• 1:23:06
  Popular Than DeSantis and Yeah. I mean the and the hilarious
• 1:23:13
  thing too is like Ron Paul would have unironically been better
• 1:23:16
  than than Mitt Romney, that's for sure.
• 1:23:20
  Didn't Did Ted Cruz won it in 2016?
• 1:23:24
  Pretty sure. Yeah.
• 1:23:26
  Yeah, I remember his presidency. Iowa means everything,
• 1:23:33
  obviously. Yeah, well, I mean the way, the
• 1:23:37
  way, the the way the Republic, the way the Republican Party
• 1:23:43
  goes on and on about Iowa, at least the establishment, like
• 1:23:47
  you would think that like you would think that Iowa would was
• 1:23:50
  like you know Disneyland or some shit like that so.
• 1:23:56
  Yeah, because they get to have their political circus right.
• 1:24:01
  Yeah. Important for a week or
• 1:24:02
  whatever, and the rest of us kind of know that's what it is,
• 1:24:06
  but we play along because we're stupid.
• 1:24:10
  I mean, Iowa makes Iowa grows great potatoes.
• 1:24:15
  I'll give them that. So.
• 1:24:19
  Alright, they can be OK. Main potatoes be doing good,
• 1:24:23
  though there's other places that produce potatoes.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah. And Korn.
• 1:24:30
  Yeah, that's true too. So.
• 1:24:35
  But you know what? What other riveting news do we
• 1:24:39
  have this week, gentlemen? Anything.
• 1:24:42
  Or. I ran in the snow yesterday.
• 1:24:48
  It was not fun. That's that's actually that's
• 1:24:54
  actually more newsworthy than anything that's been going on
• 1:24:58
  you're. The only one of the three of us
• 1:25:00
  that can run in the snow. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:04
  I wouldn't recommend it, you know.
• 1:25:06
  Well, you're you're the, you're the only, you're, you're the
• 1:25:10
  only one out of the out of the three of us that can run.
• 1:25:13
  Period. Well.
• 1:25:16
  Yeah. Unless you talk to Schmoly.
• 1:25:21
  Yeah, I've heard otherwise, Sam. I've heard that you're quite the
• 1:25:26
  established runner. Well, you know, I I've got.
• 1:25:33
  You like milkshakes? It was a milkshake, right?
• 1:25:35
  Yeah. Well, well, that well, that's
• 1:25:39
  true, I. Think that Sam loves more than
• 1:25:41
  running milkshakes and. PCP.
• 1:25:48
  I I do. I do love milk.
• 1:25:50
  I do love milkshakes. Maybe Sam puts the PCP in?
• 1:25:54
  The milkshake. Milkshake.
• 1:25:54
  Yeah, that's why he's running. You see, we figured it out.
• 1:26:00
  It's not because he's not secretly crippled.
• 1:26:02
  It's because when he's on PCP, he forgets.
• 1:26:06
  And then he runs to the store to get a milkshake and then
• 1:26:09
  schmooly sees him. We figured it out.
• 1:26:13
  Oh, oh. Intervention Sam for your
• 1:26:17
  massive amounts of PCP in Angel dust use.
• 1:26:22
  See, Sammy probably thought I was gonna always be be on your
• 1:26:25
  side because we're both crippled, Yeah.
• 1:26:29
  Well, I mean, you know, I I've, I've heard more that, you know
• 1:26:36
  you do some shady stuff too. Everyone, everyone just thinks
• 1:26:39
  that you're into over, that you're into overboards.
• 1:26:45
  But you know, I see you. Yeah, I SIM too, God damn it.
• 1:26:50
  Yeah, doing shady thing as shady as PCP though.
• 1:26:54
  No. No, OK.
• 1:26:57
  Nope. I mean, you know, urine's that
• 1:27:00
  wacky tobacco. Oh, see, my wife missed it.
• 1:27:04
  We've just been talking about how Sam loves PCP.
• 1:27:11
  I'm yeah, not a death stare, but like a confused look.
• 1:27:18
  And and how the other other crippled isn't going to always
• 1:27:21
  side with Sam. Yeah, well, it's See, you got to
• 1:27:25
  explain. That's why she really saw him
• 1:27:29
  running, right? Is because he forgot he was
• 1:27:31
  crippled because he was on PCP. So he ran down and got a
• 1:27:35
  milkshake. We figured it out.
• 1:27:40
  That's why it's an intervention. We got to get Sam to stop doing
• 1:27:43
  all that Angel dust. But like, wow, here's.
• 1:27:51
  The look at him, look at his face right now, you can tell.
• 1:27:57
  Here, here, here's the thing like where where would I where
• 1:28:00
  would I even get PCP Max? That's the thing.
• 1:28:05
  Well, you just you can make it. Yourself.
• 1:28:07
  If you just break into the local, you break into the local
• 1:28:11
  Mortuary, right? And you grab a big old bottle of
• 1:28:14
  embalming fluid and. I mean.
• 1:28:20
  Wait, wait, is is that what PCP is made of?
• 1:28:24
  Partly, yeah. Some of them guys in New York in
• 1:28:31
  like the 90s, they would dip their cigarettes and embalming
• 1:28:34
  fluid to get fucked up. They called it wow, smoking
• 1:28:39
  death. People will do some crazy shit
• 1:28:44
  they've left to their own devices.
• 1:28:48
  Yeah, sounds like it so. It better gets you pretty fucked
• 1:28:55
  up because it's. A Well, well, listen, if if PCP
• 1:29:02
  can help me, you know, walk, then imagine what it can do for
• 1:29:08
  Morpheus then. That's the myth here.
• 1:29:14
  So. The government's banning your
• 1:29:16
  medicine. That's what it is.
• 1:29:20
  Legalize PCP. Legalize Medicinal PCP.
• 1:29:35
  There, there are going to be some.
• 1:29:37
  There are going to be some, like there are going to be some like
• 1:29:40
  libertarians that watch this and get and then they're like, hell
• 1:29:44
  yeah, or something like like that, so.
• 1:29:47
  I mean, yeah, there's a there's a place for medicinal PCP and
• 1:29:52
  apparently medicinal crack too. Well, yeah.
• 1:29:57
  Excuse isn't it 100? 100 people free crack pipes.
• 1:30:01
  Yeah, yeah, just hand out crack for everybody.
• 1:30:04
  Free crack. Isn't that what fucking Dave
• 1:30:06
  Chappelle's like? Bum character promised if you
• 1:30:08
  got president, Free crack for everybody.
• 1:30:12
  Yeah, well and well, well, and I actually hang on, isn't that
• 1:30:19
  what Chris Christie unironically promised to like?
• 1:30:25
  He promised like drug. He promised like drug, you know,
• 1:30:30
  rehabilitation centers or something like or something like
• 1:30:36
  that. They.
• 1:30:37
  They love to put the methadone clinics out up here in the
• 1:30:41
  Northeast especially, and then all the addicts gather out there
• 1:30:46
  every morning, which is, you know, has no negative
• 1:30:49
  repercussions whatsoever. Do do those actually work or I?
• 1:30:55
  I'm assuming by the tone of your voice, no.
• 1:30:58
  So, OK, OK, so. Then why you have a central
• 1:31:03
  community area for all the drug addicts to meet up every single
• 1:31:07
  morning? Yeah.
• 1:31:10
  If if let's say 10 of the people going are somewhat serious, ten
• 1:31:17
  of the people going are super serious and one guy is just
• 1:31:21
  going to fucking get you know he has to for court or whatever.
• 1:31:26
  That one guy is going to convince the semi serious
• 1:31:29
  people, at least one of them, to go fucking do drugs with him and
• 1:31:33
  the next thing you have is you have like a a click of all the
• 1:31:37
  drug addicts that now know each other better and if they can't
• 1:31:41
  get their drugs, methadone pro tip basically like your body
• 1:31:48
  reacts to it in a very similar way as fucking heroin, right?
• 1:31:50
  So they're basically they're getting their fix, sort of.
• 1:31:53
  It's not the real fix, right? It's it's not good.
• 1:31:58
  You end up getting crime, you get, you know, the druggies
• 1:32:01
  start banding together to steal shit, fights, all kinds of shit.
• 1:32:07
  Yeah, methadone clinics, wherever you put them.
• 1:32:09
  You're gonna that the neighborhood is going to get
• 1:32:11
  worse because of it. So it's like I'm all for people
• 1:32:16
  rehabbing. I'm a guy that believes in
• 1:32:18
  second chances, but like a fact is a fact.
• 1:32:21
  This is what happens when you put a rehab facility smack dab
• 1:32:24
  in the center of a nice neighborhood is all the fucking
• 1:32:28
  derelict junkies start going there and getting ideas about
• 1:32:31
  robbing the nice stuff in the nice neighborhood.
• 1:32:36
  Yeah, that. Yeah.
• 1:32:41
  Well, that, yeah, that makes a. Situation in regards to helping
• 1:32:45
  drug addicts at all. It's a tough situation because
• 1:32:48
  yeah, you can't help people that most of which don't want to help
• 1:32:52
  themselves. And the other thing is, most of
• 1:32:54
  the people that go through all the treatment are court ordered.
• 1:32:57
  They're not going there because they want to get better.
• 1:33:00
  Most of the time they're either they're either court ordered or
• 1:33:03
  their family has fucking put their foot down.
• 1:33:06
  Usually it's never oh I I mean it's rare I'll say it's rare for
• 1:33:11
  somebody to say I need help and go get it and actually stick
• 1:33:17
  with it. It's very rare but and that's
• 1:33:19
  why it doesn't work because if you if the guy doesn't want the
• 1:33:22
  help, doesn't need the help. He just wants to he wants to get
• 1:33:25
  out and get high right. He he's like, oh, I'm gonna get
• 1:33:30
  my fix so that I don't have, like, 'cause like, you got to
• 1:33:33
  understand, when you're The reason they do methadone is if
• 1:33:35
  you're getting off of opiates like that, you have seizures and
• 1:33:38
  shit, right? And they can kill you, right?
• 1:33:41
  So that's why methadone exists. The problem is, is, OK, they've
• 1:33:45
  gotten their fix. They're safe for the day now all
• 1:33:48
  the druggies are gathered around.
• 1:33:51
  They usually can't have jobs because they have to go to the
• 1:33:53
  methadone clinic every morning, right?
• 1:33:57
  And they're all there, and they don't have jobs.
• 1:33:59
  And they've gotten their fix for the day, but not the real fix.
• 1:34:01
  Now it's time to set your minds to get in the real fix.
• 1:34:04
  And that's when they start stealing things and whatever,
• 1:34:07
  whatever, to get heroin. It's it happens every time and
• 1:34:14
  everywhere. You put these places, put them
• 1:34:18
  in the, put them in the ghetto, there's just less for people to
• 1:34:20
  steal. But this the same kind of basic
• 1:34:23
  behavior manifests itself. Yeah.
• 1:34:27
  Druggies and clusters are A a bad influence on each other and
• 1:34:31
  B bad for the community that they're fucking.
• 1:34:34
  You know, acting within. No easy answers.
• 1:34:43
  No easy answers, because putting them in jail ain't working
• 1:34:46
  either, right? So what do you do?
• 1:34:47
  I don't know. I'm just saying, what I see and
• 1:34:51
  what I see is the methadone clinic system is in the in the
• 1:34:55
  in the clean injection sites. It's not helping anybody kick
• 1:34:57
  the habit, I'll tell you that. It's just having it.
• 1:35:03
  Oh, here you can come get fucking perfectly clean heroin,
• 1:35:06
  needles, and a nurse to help you fucking do your drugs.
• 1:35:11
  OK, then why are they illegal? That's the real question.
• 1:35:16
  Why are they illegal? Then if you can get a nurse to
• 1:35:18
  help, fucking administer it on a nice little fluffy fucking.
• 1:35:21
  Bed. That seems like a giant
• 1:35:26
  contradiction for sure. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:30
  So they can fucking tax us more. Yup.
• 1:35:33
  Bingo. It's programs.
• 1:35:36
  Programs for my constituents. By which I mean the fucking
• 1:35:41
  spend that pay most of the money.
• 1:35:42
  Fucking accounts projects for them.
• 1:35:46
  And so be a methadone clinic. Here's 20.
• 1:35:51
  Here's 20 grand towards your project.
• 1:35:53
  Here's 50 grand towards this project.
• 1:35:55
  Oh, you need more funding? Next year we'll get you 2.3
• 1:35:58
  million. Like that's what it is.
• 1:36:00
  It's all money. They don't give a fuck about the
• 1:36:02
  addicts. Tell you as somebody that's out
• 1:36:05
  of enough experience with drug addicts in my life, I can tell
• 1:36:08
  you that the government does not give a fuck about helping the.
• 1:36:11
  Addicts. Oh no, of course not.
• 1:36:14
  Not what is. Fuck at all.
• 1:36:18
  That that seems fairly obvious to me.
• 1:36:22
  Yeah, yeah, but not even in a way that like anti drug people
• 1:36:28
  would support. It's just like, well you can
• 1:36:31
  have your drugs and you can suffer and you, you know,
• 1:36:34
  whatever, just just do it. It's fine.
• 1:36:37
  Here, have some clean needles. Go kill yourself.
• 1:36:43
  That that seems pretty sauce. Very.
• 1:36:50
  Well, it's because it's such a complex problem and there are no
• 1:36:53
  good solutions, and so that's what we come to is a shitty
• 1:36:56
  solution that doesn't really fix anything but costs US money.
• 1:37:02
  So there's that. If you like paying taxes, it's
• 1:37:07
  really a good thing. Also, if you like crime, pretty
• 1:37:12
  good for that. Well, you know who doesn't love
• 1:37:15
  crime these days? Yeah, it seems it's the
• 1:37:20
  sensation that's sweeping the nation is crime.
• 1:37:27
  Yeah. We got anything else this week,
• 1:37:30
  Sam? This is my last week of being 28
• 1:37:38
  and yeah, I'll be, I'll be 30 in another year.
• 1:37:46
  So other than that. You're still climbing up,
• 1:37:53
  climbing up the hill. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:57
  Other than that, like you know, I don't have anything more.
• 1:38:08
  Do you have anything or else or? No, I just wanted to talk about
• 1:38:13
  the throttles a little bit and we got to do that.
• 1:38:15
  I was going to say, if you go in the Jewish tunnels, make sure to
• 1:38:18
  bring some hummus. Yeah, what should what?
• 1:38:26
  Shouldn't they out? Well, shouldn't we bring like
• 1:38:29
  like some like flatbread too or something?
• 1:38:38
  Pretzels. Yeah.
• 1:38:41
  Pretzels. You can live off of hummus for
• 1:38:45
  quite a while. Hummus and pretzels, as long as
• 1:38:48
  it's kosher. Yeah, that's very kosher.
• 1:38:52
  Also, bacon will bring bacon. Yeah.
• 1:38:59
  Sharing the bacon, God damn it. Yeah, I know you don't.
• 1:39:02
  Share it. See, that's the reason you bring
• 1:39:04
  the bacon is because you don't have to share it with the juice.
• 1:39:06
  Good. Point all.
• 1:39:10
  Right, it's. Like, oh, I brought this bacon.
• 1:39:12
  Oh, all right. Sorry.
• 1:39:15
  I guess I'll just eat that. You guys have the the hummus and
• 1:39:19
  pretzels. Yeah.
• 1:39:23
  Just that they're snacking on the bacon too.
• 1:39:25
  Like, this is probably way better than that hummus.
• 1:39:34
  You know, you know. Sure you don't want some?
• 1:39:37
  You know, you know, would be great.
• 1:39:39
  Yep, the bacon right in the hummus.
• 1:39:42
  Yeah, I was gonna say bacon dipped in in hummus would
• 1:39:46
  actually probably be, like, really good on ironically.
• 1:39:50
  Very kosher. Yeah, yeah, we.
• 1:39:56
  Snacking good in them Jewish tunnels.
• 1:39:59
  All right, I'm done. I got nothing.
• 1:40:03
  I I don't. I don't have anything either,
• 1:40:10
  really. Except what were you gonna make
• 1:40:13
  up? For Never mind, I was gonna say
• 1:40:14
  gay, Jewish. Guys go against you because.
• 1:40:17
  They definitely partake. In Gobbling.
• 1:40:24
  Sausage. Oh, she said.
• 1:40:24
  The gay. The gay.
• 1:40:25
  Jewish guys might go against that because they partake in
• 1:40:28
  gobbling sausage. Good.
• 1:40:34
  Point. That is, that is, that is a good
• 1:40:37
  one, so. Is that kosher?
• 1:40:40
  I don't know. I mean, I mean if it.
• 1:40:45
  I mean, if it's another gauge Jewish guy, then I suppose it
• 1:40:50
  must. Be Is he circumcised?
• 1:40:52
  Is the question. That that one, that would be the
• 1:40:58
  question. Otherwise, it's not kosher.
• 1:41:04
  I wonder if that's the thing any gay Jews out there feel free is
• 1:41:09
  is uncircumcised Dick not kosher for you to eat?
• 1:41:14
  Well, we're. Jewish women out there, I guess.
• 1:41:17
  Well, we, well, we we we can't ask Craig about that.
• 1:41:22
  And I said a a Jewish guy. No, no, I no, no, I know.
• 1:41:27
  I then that's what I said, well, we, we can't ask.
• 1:41:30
  I said we can't ask ask. We cannot ask Craig about that.
• 1:41:36
  What was you asking? But.
• 1:41:40
  Well, well, we, well, you know who we you know who we could
• 1:41:44
  ask, though, is Laura Loomer, wherever she's at.
• 1:41:50
  You could, you could ask her. I'll trust you just because
• 1:41:58
  Laura Loomer is a disgusting weirdo.
• 1:42:02
  Yeah, well, I was. I was joking.
• 1:42:05
  I wasn't supposed to say that part out loud, huh?
• 1:42:09
  No, I mean, no, I I see. I agree with you on that.
• 1:42:12
  Like, I I don't even know what happened to her really, other
• 1:42:18
  than she, like, fell in with wig gnats.
• 1:42:23
  She's just always been weird. Yeah.
• 1:42:28
  It's fine, I know. Shmuly Shmuly had a whole thing
• 1:42:32
  about Laura Loomer that he had a bit going on for a couple years.
• 1:42:37
  He shouldn't even keep up the bit.
• 1:42:38
  The bit was he was secretly in love with Laura Loomer and it
• 1:42:42
  was supposed to be funny because she's so disgusting and weird,
• 1:42:47
  but then she got so fucking disgusting and weird that he
• 1:42:51
  couldn't even keep up the bit anymore.
• 1:42:54
  So. There's that.
• 1:42:57
  He couldn't even pretend to be in love with Laura Loomer
• 1:42:59
  anymore. I like.
• 1:43:02
  To think he was pretending I I'm not so sure though.
• 1:43:07
  Well, he well, he might not. He might not have been
• 1:43:09
  pretending at first, but but then I mean.
• 1:43:16
  With it. Yeah.
• 1:43:18
  That one time he raided her Panty Jar was a bit much for me.
• 1:43:23
  Whoa, OK, Yeah. OK.
• 1:43:27
  Yeah. That that.
• 1:43:28
  Well, you know, he said it was for the bit, so I thought it was
• 1:43:31
  fine. Well, that that would definitely
• 1:43:35
  get a bonk from more from more of this stuff, absolutely.
• 1:43:40
  You should have seen the size of them panties.
• 1:43:44
  Oh, I I trust me. I I don't.
• 1:43:49
  I that's one thing. I don't.
• 1:43:51
  Want to? My wife gave me a dirty look.
• 1:43:53
  No, no, because this because the joke is that she wears dirty
• 1:43:58
  bloomers. It's a Jim joke.
• 1:44:01
  Mr. Medicare. Laura Loomers.
• 1:44:04
  Dirty bloomers. You should.
• 1:44:11
  No, I'm glad Jim's clever. I'm not so clever.
• 1:44:19
  I. I got I.
• 1:44:20
  Got an outrage reaction, Jim? Got a Oh, that's clever.
• 1:44:26
  Yeah, Well, I mean. Bombing in my own home.
• 1:44:30
  It's awful. Well, you might.
• 1:44:33
  You must do that a few times a day.
• 1:44:36
  It's. It's true.
• 1:44:38
  It's true. My comedy does not land on the
• 1:44:41
  targeted audience almost every single day.
• 1:44:46
  You know, I struggle. For it though.
• 1:44:49
  You might, You might. You must have the best dad jokes
• 1:44:54
  though. Or the worst dad jokes.
• 1:44:56
  Yeah, it depends on how you look.
• 1:44:57
  At it? Yeah.
• 1:45:00
  No, I I like. I like dad jokes.
• 1:45:03
  That's what I've been telling the younger guys, man.
• 1:45:04
  The women, they like dad jokes. Yeah.
• 1:45:08
  No, no, they they do. Yeah, yeah, they just.
• 1:45:15
  That's what you got to do. See, we could tell jokes about
• 1:45:17
  pussy smoke, but that's going to drive most women away.
• 1:45:21
  I I know. You tell dad jokes instead.
• 1:45:26
  Usually it has different effect. I don't I don't like.
• 1:45:30
  I don't like cow jokes very much, though.
• 1:45:33
  They're very Moody ochre. That's bad.
• 1:45:39
  Been a great night, audience. Thank you, everybody.
• 1:45:48
  Oh man. I'm the one that lives in
• 1:45:52
  Cowtown, New York, and that was bad.
• 1:45:57
  I Mor Morpheus. I borrowed that one from our
• 1:46:01
  Craig. Oh.
• 1:46:03
  Jeez. So you're welcome so.
• 1:46:10
  What am I doing? You're You're hosting, You're
• 1:46:14
  hosting The Greatest Podcast. You're Co hosting The Greatest
• 1:46:18
  Podcast on the Internet, Max. So.
• 1:46:22
  At least until Pod Awful takes down Rumble to own merch, so.
• 1:46:30
  Well, no, It's if if you didn't look, they're actually being
• 1:46:34
  investigated for faking views. Yeah.
• 1:46:39
  I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure about that.
• 1:46:42
  Like our views on Rumble are actually not too dissimilar from
• 1:46:47
  other platforms in terms of growth.
• 1:46:49
  So I don't know, I don't think they're faking views for
• 1:46:52
  everybody. I'm going to be honest.
• 1:46:54
  I think that they had. I do think that there are people
• 1:46:56
  that get more views than makes sense, like.
• 1:47:00
  Mersh. But I don't know I I think
• 1:47:05
  YouTube fakes views too though. I did a little bit.
• 1:47:08
  About that. Well, well, well, the same.
• 1:47:11
  Fakes views. Yeah, well, the.
• 1:47:12
  Fake. Who counts the views?
• 1:47:14
  That's the question, right? The platform does and you're
• 1:47:17
  just trusting. They're counting them
• 1:47:18
  appropriately. There's no, there's no like like
• 1:47:22
  when you talk about like television ratings.
• 1:47:25
  There's the there's the board, the Nielsen right, that does
• 1:47:28
  television vision ratings and they set it.
• 1:47:31
  Used to be they'd send out a survey and ask you what you
• 1:47:33
  watch. Now they put a little box on
• 1:47:35
  your cable box, whatever, and it just keeps track of what you
• 1:47:38
  watch. That's an independent third
• 1:47:41
  party. It isn't the cable company.
• 1:47:43
  It isn't the the network right? But in the case of platforms
• 1:47:48
  like YouTube and Rumble IT, it is them that decide.
• 1:47:51
  The view count they show you is what they want to show you.
• 1:47:54
  They could just make it up. Who's going to stop them?
• 1:47:58
  How do you determine a view? What is a view?
• 1:48:01
  Is a view on 2 hours 3 seconds or is it 2 hours?
• 1:48:05
  It doesn't differentiate. Right.
• 1:48:11
  I could. I could nerd out about that
• 1:48:14
  particular topic for quite a while, but I wish we had some
• 1:48:18
  kind of verification of these things from an independent
• 1:48:22
  party. But until we do, I have the
• 1:48:26
  experiment. If the audience hasn't seen my
• 1:48:27
  video on this, there's an easy experiment that you could do to
• 1:48:31
  prove what I'm saying. OK, make a YouTube video that's
• 1:48:35
  just black screen, any length. Doesn't matter.
• 1:48:40
  No sound and title, it complete random letters and numbers and
• 1:48:46
  you will find that you will get some views.
• 1:48:50
  Even though you've made something that's unwatchable and
• 1:48:53
  unsearchable, you will still get views.
• 1:48:56
  It's because of web crawler bots.
• 1:48:58
  It's because of view botting. It's because of all different
• 1:49:01
  things. But that alone should tell you
• 1:49:03
  that you can post anything on YouTube and get some views on
• 1:49:08
  it, even though you made it specifically so you nobody would
• 1:49:11
  view it. Even if you're Shadow Band, it
• 1:49:15
  doesn't matter, You'll still get some views.
• 1:49:17
  You're not going to get the views that you may be.
• 1:49:19
  Right. But you're going to get some and
• 1:49:21
  it's. Well.
• 1:49:23
  It's they're fake. Nobody actually watched your
• 1:49:25
  shit. You might get 25 or 100 views,
• 1:49:28
  but nobody watched it. Well that well, that was the big
• 1:49:31
  problem. Like even even before I got
• 1:49:34
  banned. Even before my channel got like
• 1:49:36
  banned banned off YouTube like like the Whitfield in port back
• 1:49:42
  on YouTube had like 850 subscribers.
• 1:49:47
  But then if we but then like if I if I want, if I want past that
• 1:49:53
  number like I would always lose to two or three subscribers.
• 1:50:01
  So I was never able to crack. Famously in their handbook had
• 1:50:05
  that specific thing in there specifically targeted at people
• 1:50:09
  with disabilities or who are fat or whatever, that they would
• 1:50:13
  limit the number of subscribers that they could get.
• 1:50:16
  It was in their handbook. Oh, if you if you come across a
• 1:50:19
  channel like it was their moderators, if you come across a
• 1:50:21
  channel with somebody with an obvious physical disability or a
• 1:50:25
  fat or on it because they're a Chinese company, remember
• 1:50:28
  they're not the American company.
• 1:50:31
  If you if you're any of these unappealing things, they put a
• 1:50:34
  cap on you of how many views you can get and and in Tik Tok's
• 1:50:38
  case, a lot of them, they'll give you fake views too.
• 1:50:41
  For everyone follower you get you're going to get two or three
• 1:50:45
  that aren't real and you can't different.
• 1:50:48
  Yet as a content creator, you don't know the difference.
• 1:50:51
  Right and. It And it gets so they get
• 1:50:55
  people engaged to continue posting because you have
• 1:50:58
  followers, right? But then you'll see these people
• 1:51:01
  say, like, I can't get past whatever number, yeah, it's
• 1:51:05
  because they've arbitrarily fucking limited.
• 1:51:07
  You. And in the case of TikTok, it
• 1:51:10
  was specifically because people had disabilities.
• 1:51:12
  Or were ugly. Or were fat.
• 1:51:16
  Right. Like any of those reasons,
• 1:51:17
  TikTok would just decide that you know.
• 1:51:21
  And so then, then if you get to a point, as most creators do, if
• 1:51:25
  you know that if you get to a plateau, you're not gaining any
• 1:51:29
  more Subs, you you, you want to ask yourself the question, am I
• 1:51:31
  being limited because of ugly? Am I being limited because you
• 1:51:37
  know, whatever, or. Or have I just reached all the
• 1:51:41
  people that I'm going to reach and you don't know?
• 1:51:45
  Right. That's why I think that knowing
• 1:51:48
  this information from a trusted not YouTube not rumble source
• 1:51:53
  that that just their whole aboard.
• 1:51:56
  You know what, We could make a just like the Nielsen ratings
• 1:51:58
  board. That's a private industry.
• 1:52:01
  That's not a government agency. Right.
• 1:52:04
  Why couldn't we have a private board that's whole job is to
• 1:52:08
  monitor views on these platforms and make sure that they're
• 1:52:10
  they're not fake. I don't.
• 1:52:15
  And and we don't need a government thing to do that
• 1:52:18
  right? No, no, there's no, there's no
• 1:52:23
  reason to. Well, the reason is because they
• 1:52:26
  won't. The that's that's what I mean.
• 1:52:28
  The reason regulations like these happen is because these
• 1:52:32
  people won't regulate themselves voluntarily.
• 1:52:36
  Every with the record industry, with the parental advisory
• 1:52:39
  stickers that you have on the screen right now, that was done
• 1:52:43
  under threat of if you don't put the fucking stickers on, we're
• 1:52:46
  going to regulate swear words on records.
• 1:52:49
  Yeah. Well, well, well.
• 1:52:51
  For this show, the parental advisory sticker is a joke.
• 1:52:55
  Right. I get that.
• 1:52:56
  But. And that's the thing, it became
• 1:52:58
  a meme all its own. But the reason it got there is
• 1:53:03
  because the the record companies were told in hearings.
• 1:53:05
  You can watch the PMRC hearings, watch Frank Zappa, particularly
• 1:53:10
  Dee Snyder. They did really well in, in
• 1:53:12
  speaking their piece. They said, yeah, if you don't do
• 1:53:15
  something like the stickers voluntarily, we're going to
• 1:53:18
  regulate you and you're not going to like it.
• 1:53:20
  They did the same thing with the video games in the 90s.
• 1:53:23
  That's what the ESRB is, right. I think that it's time for these
• 1:53:28
  social media platforms to have to have some level of self
• 1:53:33
  regulation in this because it fucks up you as a content
• 1:53:37
  creator, it fucks up you as an advertiser.
• 1:53:39
  Think about that. What if the metrics are fake?
• 1:53:42
  Then you're paying wrong rates for advertisements.
• 1:53:44
  You could be getting ripped off. Like Twitch moderation?
• 1:53:48
  Like Twitch? Yeah, exactly.
• 1:53:50
  Oh, there's the news. Twitch laid off a third of its
• 1:53:53
  staff today. Did you know that?
• 1:53:54
  I I did I I saw it on side scrollers.
• 1:53:58
  Yeah, well, what a what a fucking shock that is.
• 1:54:02
  I wonder if anybody could have predicted that and been saying
• 1:54:05
  it for several years. That and then every people are
• 1:54:07
  like, oh, it's because of the fucking nudie shit.
• 1:54:10
  No, companies don't make these decisions in two weeks, OK?
• 1:54:14
  This decision to lay off a third of their staff over 500 people
• 1:54:19
  comes from poor decisions for the last several years.
• 1:54:23
  One I can point to right away was reducing advertiser payouts
• 1:54:29
  for their largest creators, who all then left the fucking
• 1:54:32
  platform. Except, you know, you got guys
• 1:54:36
  like XQC leaving Doctor Disrespect.
• 1:54:39
  Now I understand there was some fucking contract negotiations
• 1:54:42
  involved in there, but he certainly didn't fucking come
• 1:54:44
  back because the payouts were lower on and on.
• 1:54:49
  Amaranth, the fucking, the main titty streamer herself, she
• 1:54:52
  left, right? It's not about the fucking titty
• 1:54:56
  streaming that's going on. That is something everybody
• 1:54:59
  pointing and laughing at Twitch problem predates that by quite a
• 1:55:03
  bit. And that, I think, is them
• 1:55:05
  trying to maybe, hey, maybe we'll make a lot of money if we
• 1:55:08
  become a fucking Cam girl site, but I think in the end, Amazon
• 1:55:12
  let's Twitch die because Kick runs off Amazon Web Services.
• 1:55:16
  That means they're still making their money, but they don't have
• 1:55:18
  to actually run the thing. Yeah, no, I I I get that.
• 1:55:23
  So here's my, so here's my question.
• 1:55:26
  Do you think that will eventually, do you think that
• 1:55:28
  same effect will trickle to YouTube?
• 1:55:31
  Because I mean YouTube seems be I know that YouTube has owned my
• 1:55:36
  Google, so theoretically. More because Twitch was never
• 1:55:40
  even close to as big. Right.
• 1:55:43
  I mean, I I know that. Like, I know that YouTube is
• 1:55:46
  owned by Google, which is kind of like a zombie that just never
• 1:55:49
  dies. But Even so, like YouTube.
• 1:55:55
  Has. Never been profitable?
• 1:55:56
  There's one. Yeah.
• 1:55:58
  Never in its entire history been profitable.
• 1:56:02
  Well, not well not just that, but like you know, as much as
• 1:56:05
  like people like to complain at like Rumble or Odyssey having
• 1:56:08
  bugs, like YouTube still has bugs too.
• 1:56:12
  So like it can be glitchy. YouTube is not in the twitch
• 1:56:18
  position. I think the twitch position
• 1:56:20
  right now is that the Titanic already hit the iceberg, right?
• 1:56:24
  And so now it's a matter of how do you evacuate the boat?
• 1:56:28
  How do you let it sink properly? Or is it a giant disaster?
• 1:56:32
  OK, that's Twitch right now. YouTube the the iceberg is in
• 1:56:38
  the distance, they're heading right towards it.
• 1:56:41
  But YouTube could just turn the boat.
• 1:56:44
  OK, Twitch, you know Water's already creeping in the hall,
• 1:56:49
  you know what I mean? Twitch, yeah.
• 1:56:53
  One way or another, they're either going to have to do a
• 1:56:54
  complete rebuild and rebrand on it, or they're just going to
• 1:56:57
  have to sell it off or close it or whatever, merge it with
• 1:57:01
  something else. Twitch, as it stands, is a is a
• 1:57:05
  dead man walking. Yeah, now what?
• 1:57:08
  Now? Maybe it'll be there in five
• 1:57:10
  year. I'm not even saying it'll be
• 1:57:11
  gone in five years. I'm saying it'll never be
• 1:57:15
  relevant as it was again, because for a while it was the
• 1:57:19
  live streaming alternative. Then, if you'll remember,
• 1:57:22
  YouTube brought in live streaming.
• 1:57:24
  Yeah. And then kind of pushed it back
• 1:57:27
  into a sizable but smaller subset of people that would
• 1:57:32
  watch videos online would watch. The well, The funny thing of it
• 1:57:37
  is it's like is like 12 years ago, back when I was still in
• 1:57:41
  Colorado, I used, I used a service called Ustream to stream
• 1:57:49
  the show. That's where I had my interview
• 1:57:52
  with Ben Shapiro. And then what's funny is YouTube
• 1:57:56
  was the one that bought that bought Ustream, and then the
• 1:58:01
  code that was the code from Ustream is what became YouTube
• 1:58:10
  Live Streaming. And and they've done more with
• 1:58:16
  it because it's less niche. And Twitch started to realize
• 1:58:20
  that to just gaming wasn't doing it anymore.
• 1:58:23
  Like the game. Watching people play games for
• 1:58:27
  the most part, was a big fad. There are people that still like
• 1:58:31
  that, but the majority of people moved on to other kinds of
• 1:58:34
  content. And that leaves Twitch in a
• 1:58:36
  strange place, because that's all it's about.
• 1:58:39
  And they've tried to open up to other things, just chatting and
• 1:58:43
  now TD streaming and all this other stuff, but they've never
• 1:58:47
  really recovered from that. Loss.
• 1:58:49
  And really, I as much as Amazon has made some bad decisions with
• 1:58:54
  Twitch, this was inevitable for Twitch anyway because the watch
• 1:58:58
  live games thing that was unique to them became not unique to
• 1:59:02
  them and less popular. Yeah.
• 1:59:07
  Well, it it'll be interesting. How many live streams of games
• 1:59:12
  would you have watched 10 years ago versus now?
• 1:59:14
  Probably a lot less. Yeah.
• 1:59:19
  Younger people still like, watch a lot of it.
• 1:59:21
  There's still a market for it, but it's not a market that can
• 1:59:24
  carry a platform like Twitch anymore.
• 1:59:27
  And. That's a real.
• 1:59:28
  Problem. Well, I mean back then, back
• 1:59:32
  like when I was in high school, even like the whole concept of
• 1:59:36
  like watching some, I don't think people understand like at
• 1:59:39
  least the younger audience like the the concept of like watching
• 1:59:42
  someone like play a video game on a live stream, Like that's
• 1:59:45
  new. Like when I like when I was in
• 1:59:50
  high school, like it was kind of like you're going to watch
• 1:59:53
  someone play a video game. Like, why not just rent the
• 1:59:56
  video game and play yours yourself?
• 1:59:59
  So? I'll tell you, I got into
• 2:00:03
  watching any type of video game stuff from Total Biscuit and
• 2:00:08
  Splatter Cat a lot. Lesser known one.
• 2:00:11
  But if you want to know where I get a lot of the fucking indie
• 2:00:13
  games that I end up having interest in or promoting on the
• 2:00:16
  show, Splatter Cat usually has them first.
• 2:00:19
  And that's why I like watching his shit 'cause I watched
• 2:00:22
  somebody play one of these indie games and you can tell if it's
• 2:00:24
  something you'd be into pretty quickly.
• 2:00:26
  And he has good taste and he usually gets on the cutting edge
• 2:00:31
  and he has for fucking ever. And he deserves more credit than
• 2:00:34
  he gets. Yeah.
• 2:00:39
  But yeah, that's what I got into is like, oh, let me look at
• 2:00:42
  games as a review. I've streamed games.
• 2:00:46
  I don't watch a lot of people. I watch my friends stream games,
• 2:00:49
  but I don't watch a lot of live streams.
• 2:00:51
  Unless there's maybe like I'll watch World of Warcraft event
• 2:00:56
  that I can't do or something. Yeah, same here.
• 2:00:59
  I don't. I don't watch game streams
• 2:01:02
  either, so. I didn't know Twit game game
• 2:01:08
  streaming was a thing until I until I played Gwen, which was,
• 2:01:14
  what, six years ago? Yeah.
• 2:01:16
  So I didn't know fuck all about it.
• 2:01:19
  Yeah, it wasn't really, but it got hot with the kids,
• 2:01:23
  especially the Minecraft stuff, And then the kids kind of moved
• 2:01:26
  on to other things. It's not as hot with them
• 2:01:27
  anymore. And so Twitch is, and they had
• 2:01:31
  the opportunity to open it up to be other things.
• 2:01:34
  But like perfect example, they banned Donald Trump, Perfect
• 2:01:38
  example, Destiny they banned. So you can't have politics on
• 2:01:42
  here. And I say Destiny specifically
• 2:01:45
  because, yeah, they banned a lot of political creators, but he's
• 2:01:48
  on the left, so you can't, you know what I mean?
• 2:01:51
  You can't have any conversations outside of what Twitch allows
• 2:01:57
  and the staff there are raving woke maniacs.
• 2:02:01
  So, and I'm, I hope that a lot of the people that I, you know,
• 2:02:05
  gamers, gamers are such fucking pussies nowadays OK?
• 2:02:09
  Because I'm I'm seeing like oh you should never be OK with
• 2:02:12
  people losing their job. Fuck that.
• 2:02:15
  Fuck that. If those if those moderators
• 2:02:17
  were fucking any of those woke people, yeah fuck them.
• 2:02:21
  You're the reason that they needed to lay people off in the
• 2:02:23
  1st place. That's why you're the person
• 2:02:24
  they're laying off. They're not going to sit here
• 2:02:27
  and be like, like when a big studio closes and a bunch of
• 2:02:30
  people lose their jobs. Sometimes you're like, yeah,
• 2:02:33
  individually, that sucks for you.
• 2:02:35
  That's not my problem as a fucking consumer.
• 2:02:39
  Yeah, well. You're like these game
• 2:02:41
  companies, you they want you to feel bad when they lay people
• 2:02:44
  up, right? Like, oh, Blizzard laid people
• 2:02:45
  off oh woah with me. Well, fuck.
• 2:02:49
  That all I care is the game. Good or not?
• 2:02:52
  Well, that that was Max. That was job to put food on
• 2:02:55
  those fucking people's table. Max, that was, that was the
• 2:02:58
  whole that was the whole argument with the with the
• 2:03:01
  Budweiser boycott last year that they were making is oh, what was
• 2:03:06
  me now. Now the factory workers are
• 2:03:09
  going to lose their jobs with Anheuser Busch.
• 2:03:11
  And yeah, some of them did and that, and that's unfortunate,
• 2:03:16
  but a lot of the, a lot of the same, like fact workers that
• 2:03:19
  lost their jobs were the ones also saying, like what the fuck,
• 2:03:24
  what the fuck was this ad? You know, like we don't support
• 2:03:30
  that and that's going to kill our jobs and a lot of problems.
• 2:03:35
  You know, that's the thing. But when it comes to like as a
• 2:03:38
  consumer, right, Because that's a different thing because that
• 2:03:41
  wasn't the product that pissed people off, it was the
• 2:03:43
  advertisement, right? I'm talking about with gaming.
• 2:03:47
  I see a lot of this from gamers now.
• 2:03:49
  Gamers have bought the fucking left wing bullshit and they
• 2:03:51
  don't even know it. They think they're like ultra
• 2:03:53
  right wing while simultaneously preaching like socialist tenets
• 2:03:58
  about God damn microtransaction. Besides, I did a video on that
• 2:04:02
  too if you want to watch it. It's like as Azmin Gold, me
• 2:04:05
  tearing apart Azmin Gold with the fucking human Action and
• 2:04:08
  Mises for 15 minutes. But the fact of the matter is
• 2:04:14
  you as a gamer, right? If the game is good, you like it
• 2:04:19
  and you buy it, right? No problem.
• 2:04:22
  If the game is bad, I don't care who worked on it.
• 2:04:25
  Like, it's not a personal vendetta against you.
• 2:04:27
  But if the game sucks and nobody buys it, yeah, it's kind of hard
• 2:04:30
  to keep you employed. Yeah.
• 2:04:34
  And then they'll be like, oh, but these mega corporations,
• 2:04:36
  these mega corporations. That's socialist bullshit.
• 2:04:40
  That's socialist bullshit. They're they're there to make a
• 2:04:43
  fucking profit, OK, off of a video game.
• 2:04:46
  I don't understand why gamers of all people don't understand.
• 2:04:49
  You have the most superfluous hobby that in existence that is
• 2:04:54
  extremely expensive to produce and offers very little value in
• 2:05:00
  terms of anything productive. That's what gaming is, right?
• 2:05:05
  Yeah. Why are they the most fucking
• 2:05:08
  entitled people on earth that think it should be fucking free?
• 2:05:11
  No, this is a product that they're selling you, that
• 2:05:13
  they're making with their own labor.
• 2:05:14
  And at the same time, I'm supposed to feel for people who
• 2:05:17
  get fired but also think that they should all be free and have
• 2:05:21
  fucking socialist utopia. And those same people want to
• 2:05:24
  tell me they're right wing gamers.
• 2:05:29
  Microtransactions are not a fucking crime, bro.
• 2:05:32
  No. Don't fucking buy it.
• 2:05:36
  I mean the game. Will fail if you stop buying it.
• 2:05:40
  But y'all fucking the same people bitching about
• 2:05:43
  microtransaction is the same motherfuckers buying them.
• 2:05:47
  Yeah, yeah, that that's thing. See, I don't see.
• 2:05:52
  I don't like microtransactions either, but I just don't play
• 2:05:55
  games that have. Or I do and I don't buy them
• 2:06:02
  right? And if and if it if it ruins the
• 2:06:05
  game that I don't buy a microtransaction, then I usually
• 2:06:09
  stop playing the fucking game. Yeah.
• 2:06:13
  I'm like. Oh, if I have the piece meal
• 2:06:14
  nickel and dime this bullshit, then I'm not into it.
• 2:06:17
  Absolutely. Give me a fully fledged game and
• 2:06:23
  I'm in into it. I'd rather not buy games that I
• 2:06:26
  know have microtransactions. Well, I mentioned Path of Exile
• 2:06:31
  earlier and it's the perfect example of, like everything done
• 2:06:35
  right. So it's a free to play game.
• 2:06:37
  You can play the entire game for free.
• 2:06:40
  You don't buy anything that's even remotely related to power.
• 2:06:43
  You buy fucking skins for your for your.
• 2:06:46
  Outfits. That's it.
• 2:06:49
  That's. All they have is you can buy
• 2:06:51
  skins, right? But the entire game, which would
• 2:06:54
  take you a long time to beat, it's a pretty hefty game, is
• 2:06:59
  free, and so in something like that, I might even buy a micro
• 2:07:03
  transaction. I might even be like, you know
• 2:07:05
  what? This game has been a lot of fun
• 2:07:08
  and they haven't asked me for shit.
• 2:07:10
  Maybe I'll buy a stupid skin for $20 or something.
• 2:07:15
  Yeah, I mean. I'm the type of gamer that I'll
• 2:07:18
  play, play a free game, and if I feel respected as a player, I
• 2:07:24
  will buy the skin or whatever. But if you're going to, if it's
• 2:07:28
  blatantly, obviously you're trying to reach into my pocket,
• 2:07:31
  you're not getting anything. Exactly.
• 2:07:34
  Yeah, I don't. I don't have a problem with
• 2:07:37
  microtransactions. And to be fair, I don't think, I
• 2:07:40
  think what a lot of people, at least I've talked to, have an
• 2:07:42
  issue is when the game is like constantly, like prompting you,
• 2:07:47
  prompting you to buy or or when it's like or when it's got like
• 2:07:53
  ads popping up every two seconds.
• 2:07:57
  Yeah, I mean, you mostly see that on mobile and free to play.
• 2:08:01
  Yeah. But yeah, it is the thing.
• 2:08:04
  And I mean some of the shit's annoying, but like at the end of
• 2:08:07
  the day, the reason that they exist is because people are
• 2:08:10
  buying them. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 2:08:14
  And if you don't, if you keep buying them, they're going to
• 2:08:17
  keep happening and I'm convinced it's the people bitching that
• 2:08:20
  are buying them. 'Cause I don't.
• 2:08:23
  Bitch nearly as much about it. You don't bitch nearly as much.
• 2:08:26
  Like we all understand, Like none of us here just said, Oh
• 2:08:29
  yes, microtransactions are the greatest thing ever, right?
• 2:08:31
  We didn't say. That we just said.
• 2:08:33
  Yeah, I don't really buy it. You got to kind of respect me as
• 2:08:36
  a player, earn my money. We're not running around like
• 2:08:42
  this. Is the worst thing in the world
• 2:08:43
  to ever happen to gaming, right? Well, pretty.
• 2:08:46
  Sure. That the people that are, it's
• 2:08:48
  'cause they're buying them. And that was read.
• 2:08:52
  It and they're like, shit. I shouldn't have spent $40 on a
• 2:08:55
  fucking sparkle pony. What's funny is what's funny is
• 2:08:59
  I I don't know who the YouTube was.
• 2:09:02
  I saw AI saw a video from a YouTube who was bitching about
• 2:09:07
  microtransactions, right? But brace yourselves, the same
• 2:09:15
  YouTube was sponsored by Drumroll.
• 2:09:22
  Damn more you. You got it.
• 2:09:25
  Before I could even hit the drum.
• 2:09:27
  But yeah, Rage, rage, shadow legends, folks.
• 2:09:31
  I'm willing to bet it was more than one you.
• 2:09:36
  And. Yeah, you kind of don't get to
• 2:09:39
  bitch about microtransactions and be sponsored by that piece
• 2:09:42
  of shit. Yeah.
• 2:09:43
  Well. The microtransaction game of all
• 2:09:46
  time, yeah. Yeah, well I've I've never
• 2:09:48
  played Raid Shadow Legends, but like.
• 2:09:51
  You don't need to here. I'll, I'll, I'll give you a
• 2:09:54
  sample. Sam, give me $5.
• 2:10:00
  Well, we need, we want to go back to the hub.
• 2:10:03
  Give me $5. Yeah, give me $5.
• 2:10:06
  We need well that we need more super chats before I can.
• 2:10:13
  Hey Sam, give me $5. That's the Ray Shadow Legends
• 2:10:16
  experience right there. It's just taking.
• 2:10:18
  Me $5. Actually, Sam, yeah, I I
• 2:10:23
  unfortunately have a little bit of experience.
• 2:10:25
  Quote UN quote, playing the fucking game.
• 2:10:27
  And $5 is fucking too cheap. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:30
  But they'd start you with five. No.
• 2:10:33
  They start asking you for like like all these mobile games too.
• 2:10:37
  They'll be like, hey, we'll give you the starter pack for $2.00
• 2:10:42
  and then it's like, hey now there's a better starter pack
• 2:10:44
  for $7.00. And if you keep going down that
• 2:10:49
  route, you're going to get to a pack for like $150.00.
• 2:10:53
  That that's how that's how the mobile version of Injustice was.
• 2:10:58
  It was like, it was like, hey, we'll let you play as Batman,
• 2:11:04
  but it'll be $150.00 and it's like.
• 2:11:09
  Based. And it's like, it's like, OK, I
• 2:11:14
  love Batman, but I don't love Batman that much to spend 100
• 2:11:20
  and and $50. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:11:25
  I mean, I I this is the thing most of the indie games I play,
• 2:11:30
  it's because there really isn't any microtransactions.
• 2:11:33
  Right, right. Yeah.
• 2:11:35
  Generally they're under $30, Usually under 20.
• 2:11:38
  Like 20 is the sweet spot for most of these indie games, and
• 2:11:41
  you get a full game. OK, it might not have the top
• 2:11:45
  tier fucking AAA ray tracing graphics usually, but you you'll
• 2:11:51
  usually be a better game than what the people who make those
• 2:11:54
  pieces of shit are offering you. I'll tell you, I've played a lot
• 2:11:58
  more indie games than I did Starfield in 2023.
• 2:12:02
  And if you remember Sam, I said I like Starfield.
• 2:12:06
  Yeah, yeah. You.
• 2:12:07
  You actually. Did load screens though.
• 2:12:10
  So. Got to load every fucking time
• 2:12:13
  you want to do anything. There's a load screen that gets
• 2:12:16
  fucking old though. I don't Look, your game looks
• 2:12:18
  nice and it's locked at like 30 frames on Xbox, so I wasn't even
• 2:12:22
  going to play it on my fucking Xbox.
• 2:12:25
  Yeah. Just, yeah, just I'm AAA games,
• 2:12:29
  man. You get yourself in any game.
• 2:12:31
  But I'm telling you, Dave the Diver, which is technically like
• 2:12:33
  a AA game, not an indie game, but whatever.
• 2:12:37
  I. I just got also, I just got a
• 2:12:40
  couple weeks ago, Midnight Fight Express.
• 2:12:43
  That game's pretty dope. Well, I mean, like, like I told
• 2:12:47
  you at at the end of the year, like my game of the year was
• 2:12:50
  actually RoboCop there. You go AA.
• 2:12:53
  Rogue City, The Great Peter Weller.
• 2:12:58
  So. Yeah, and it captured the vibe.
• 2:13:03
  And then there's no DLC as far as I'm aware.
• 2:13:07
  There's like a soundtrack edition.
• 2:13:11
  Yeah, there, there there's there's a soundtrack and then
• 2:13:14
  you get and then you get like you get like a Chrome, you get
• 2:13:18
  like a chromed out version of raw RoboCop.
• 2:13:22
  So which, like, which you which you can't even see because you
• 2:13:30
  know it's it's a first person, yeah.
• 2:13:34
  That's another thing that cracks me up.
• 2:13:35
  All these first person games and people go crazy with the
• 2:13:38
  character creator and then never see their character.
• 2:13:41
  Oh. It's yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:45
  I mean, that's what I was saying at the beginning of the show
• 2:13:47
  about cyberpunk, so, but well. Yeah, games are just in a state
• 2:13:56
  these days. And I'm telling you this year is
• 2:13:58
  if you're indie gaming, you're going to have a better year than
• 2:14:01
  if you're waiting for some big AAA releases.
• 2:14:06
  Yep. And hot take folks.
• 2:14:10
  There are so there are so many games out there already that
• 2:14:13
  like, you don't. You don't need to play the games
• 2:14:15
  from, you know. Seriously, I have so many games
• 2:14:20
  and I'll never finish. I'll never finish my Steam
• 2:14:25
  library, that's for sure. Yeah.
• 2:14:31
  All right. We're I'm going to do one more
• 2:14:33
  week on the giveaway for the Rome game because I forgot to do
• 2:14:37
  a contest. Well, it's a good game, so I'll
• 2:14:41
  do a contest this week. I'm going to write myself a
• 2:14:43
  note. OK.
• 2:14:49
  I want it to be fair, I I can't just give away the game now.
• 2:14:52
  I should do a Twitter thing and probably maybe drum up some
• 2:14:56
  interest for next week with a free.
• 2:14:59
  Yeah. It's an indie game and it's a
• 2:15:01
  good one. It's a really good one.
• 2:15:04
  It'll it'll be I. I not only have it, I bought the
• 2:15:06
  DLC for this game. I bought it when it came out.
• 2:15:10
  Well, next. Week in the.
• 2:15:11
  DLC I got it launched. So.
• 2:15:13
  Well, next week will be my birthday show too, so on my
• 2:15:18
  birthday too. So here.
• 2:15:20
  We go, we go. We're gonna his birthday.
• 2:15:24
  We're gonna give free shit. Well, yeah, all free thing.
• 2:15:28
  See if I have any other codes, maybe I'll give two, But that's
• 2:15:37
  about all I got. Yeah, that's about, I mean I
• 2:15:40
  don't really have much any anything else.
• 2:15:42
  We we talked about what I want to talk which which was homeless
• 2:15:46
  people you know running for Congress.
• 2:15:49
  So or no stroke victims running for Congress.
• 2:15:54
  Both. Both.
• 2:15:56
  Homeless stroke victims. Yeah, on PCP.
• 2:16:03
  Yeah. Oh, and Mersh should will his
• 2:16:08
  cats to Morpheus when before he dies, so.
• 2:16:15
  Feds would have shot the dog. Sorry.
• 2:16:20
  I'm telling you, if you read a transcript of what Mersh said
• 2:16:23
  during his stroke, it's a haiku. It is so female Morpheus.
• 2:16:34
  Do you have any plugs? No, I don't.
• 2:16:40
  I don't think so, unless you're thinking I should plug something
• 2:16:44
  that I'm not aware of. Feds would have shot the dog if.
• 2:16:48
  You if you want to follow me, I'm at Morpheus on on Twitter.
• 2:16:55
  Follow him. Watch him pretend to horny
• 2:16:58
  police, everybody else, because he's actually being horny.
• 2:17:02
  I'm I'm the horny. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:17:04
  I I I can everybody else with charges and go Scott free.
• 2:17:11
  You just called yourself the horny FB I I I like that so.
• 2:17:17
  Well, how else am I going to get away with the the horny plastic?
• 2:17:23
  You know that that's that's a that's a good question.
• 2:17:26
  I just love how you guys introduced me to this concept of
• 2:17:30
  horny on Maine, suggesting to me that you guys have alt accounts,
• 2:17:34
  which you're also horny on. I do not, but I know other
• 2:17:40
  people. Do.
• 2:17:45
  Yeah, I only got. The one.
• 2:17:47
  And I'm not horny on it. No.
• 2:17:51
  And I scroll my feed and y'all are like, oh look at her nice
• 2:17:56
  boots and it's like a zoom in on her.
• 2:17:59
  Ass. Yeah, yeah, it's the boots
• 2:18:02
  you're looking at, I'm sure. Well, that's that's, that's our
• 2:18:07
  buddy Craig that does that shit, so.
• 2:18:11
  I I see. I see all of y'all.
• 2:18:16
  Jesus is watching. He's he's watching on Twitter,
• 2:18:22
  I'm telling you. Well, I I mean.
• 2:18:29
  Very disappointed. I I know, I know, I know.
• 2:18:33
  Elon is watching. Because you know that guy that I
• 2:18:44
  mean Jesus. Jesus has, like, far bigger
• 2:18:47
  problems than you know. That's what you might think.
• 2:18:52
  But there's no bigger problem, Sam, than your soul.
• 2:18:57
  No bigger problem than horny postings.
• 2:19:00
  That's right. And so your immortal soul is at
• 2:19:02
  stake. My my, my mortal soul is fine.
• 2:19:09
  So just so I guess I don't. Just so long as I don't stroke
• 2:19:14
  out on stream volume. PCP around.
• 2:19:23
  Just don't look out of your chair, Sam.
• 2:19:25
  Listen, I'm. I'm not.
• 2:19:29
  I didn't. I didn't even know.
• 2:19:30
  Merch is supposed to be cool, 'cause he does dabs, right?
• 2:19:34
  So you're way cool. You do PCP.
• 2:19:37
  What pussy shit is dabs? I you know, I don't even smoke
• 2:19:45
  cigarette. He strokes out on accident from
• 2:19:49
  doing dabs, right? Whereas the Chad Sam is stroking
• 2:19:53
  out on purpose, taking PCP. I'm sorry, Sam.
• 2:20:01
  This Lord is going to this Lord is already out of control.
• 2:20:06
  So. Sam loves Sam, loves a few
• 2:20:10
  things in life, he loves his country, he loves his family,
• 2:20:14
  and he loves PCP. I thought, I thought you were
• 2:20:20
  going to say titties, but OK, I guess we're on with PCPS.
• 2:20:24
  You'll see all the titties in the world once you start doing
• 2:20:27
  enough PCP. How, how would you, How would
• 2:20:33
  you know that, Sir? I've heard from a friend.
• 2:20:40
  Morpheus, you've been awful quiet.
• 2:20:45
  I just flagged out there for like 2 minutes.
• 2:20:47
  That that friend was Sam, by the way.
• 2:20:54
  All right, I'm gonna drive the PCP joke into the ground if.
• 2:21:01
  If we have. Driven pussy smoke into the
• 2:21:04
  ground. We're not gonna drive fucking
• 2:21:06
  PCP into the ground. Now we'll we'll we'll come up
• 2:21:12
  with some more jokes throughout the year.
• 2:21:14
  I I'm sure since it's an election year we'll have plenty
• 2:21:18
  down the line gonna. Be an exciting year for sure.
• 2:21:21
  Yeah, right. Well, see, like January and
• 2:21:28
  February, this is one thing I wanted to find out.
• 2:21:30
  Like January and February are always kind of peaceful, you
• 2:21:34
  know, months, kind of the beginning of the year.
• 2:21:37
  March is, is around the time when shit starts to, like, get
• 2:21:41
  wild, right? Like, that's when that's when
• 2:21:45
  COVID happened in 2020 and you know, and so.
• 2:21:53
  You're predicting something stupid in March.
• 2:21:56
  I think that's fair. Yeah, Well, I mean, yeah, well,
• 2:22:00
  I mean, like, you know, oh, this is one thing I did want to ask
• 2:22:04
  you, Like, so Max, I keep like hearing about like all these
• 2:22:08
  Black Swan events and whatnot, which I don't buy any of that
• 2:22:14
  shit really. But like, but like I said, if
• 2:22:17
  anything weird does happen, it's not going to be in January and
• 2:22:24
  also. Have this one older guy that was
• 2:22:27
  in our group, right, and this will answer your question.
• 2:22:30
  I almost guarantee it. And every single year around
• 2:22:35
  this time, he would start talking about, well, in the
• 2:22:38
  springtime we're going to go to the mattress, by which he meant
• 2:22:43
  that people will kill each other, Civil War style.
• 2:22:47
  And every year it's wrong. And so he would go on and on
• 2:22:50
  about how in the springtime something crazy is going to
• 2:22:53
  happen. And then the spring would come
• 2:22:54
  and go and I'd be like, well, what was the thing?
• 2:22:58
  And he'd be like you'll see. Next spring, you know.
• 2:23:01
  That's basically what I think. Yeah, that.
• 2:23:05
