  I thought we were doing Scorpion Doctor Strange.
• 2:10
  So anyways, story time. Yeah, I was mowing my lawn this
• 2:14
  week. Which once you have kids.
• 2:18
  Yeah, I love mowing the lawn. Mowing the lawn's great.
• 2:21
  I don't have a yard. Yeah, one of these days.
• 2:24
  Sorry. I mean, you got kids.
• 2:26
  Kids. Do.
• 2:27
  Yeah, Yeah. Well.
• 2:28
  Mowing the lawn's sick. Once you have a family, I don't
• 2:30
  know what it is. It's like I'm crafting an area,
• 2:33
  you know, for everyone to play anyways, so I'm mowing the lawn
• 2:37
  shirtless. I want to throw that in there.
• 2:38
  Just working on my tan. Calm down.
• 2:40
  Yeah, keep it in your pants, everybody.
• 2:43
  And I'm in my front yard and I feel like I'm tearing it up,
• 2:46
  like doing a good job. With, yeah, literally because
• 2:48
  you're mowing the lawn. Thanks.
• 2:53
  Thank you, Matt. Go ahead.
• 2:55
  OK. So anyways, I'm doing a great
• 2:56
  job with. That we're like cutting it up.
• 3:01
  Thank you, Matt. Why do they keep clapping for
• 3:04
  that? What's up?
• 3:05
  So doing a great job. Why do they keep clapping?
• 3:07
  Because I keep hitting. Thank you, Matt.
• 3:11
  So. So left it in, made a kid.
• 3:16
  Alright, go ahead. So.
• 3:18
  I'm mowing the lawn, feel like I'm doing a good job and I
• 3:21
  noticed a gentleman who is obviously hired to mow someone.
• 3:26
  Else's lawn. Oh, I see.
• 3:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, this guy was. What do you think this guy
• 3:30
  probably sounded like? Hey, buddy.
• 3:33
  Oh, OK. You're going that way?
• 3:35
  Yeah. He.
• 3:35
  Didn't he didn't talk to me in English when I I don't.
• 3:38
  Do the hey. Wrong.
• 3:43
  What is this? Go ahead.
• 3:46
  So. It'll be so funny whenever none
• 3:49
  of those. Oh my gosh, how?
• 3:50
  Did I make a stop? Joe now they're just doing both.
• 3:53
  Josh it'll be so funny whenever none of these actually get
• 3:57
  recorded. So we're just reacting to.
• 4:00
  Non. Yes, you can always just hit it
• 4:04
  again. That's good to know.
• 4:05
  So he comes over to me, doesn't say a word, and hands me his
• 4:09
  business card for his lawn mowing service.
• 4:12
  Yikes. Made me rethink everything about
• 4:15
  like I thought I was doing a good job with.
• 4:17
  Like this gringo. He's like, this guy is screwing
• 4:20
  everything. So put me in a vortex.
• 4:22
  I finished the lawn, of course, but I'm having like, I'm second
• 4:26
  guessing my landscaping abilities, which just is never
• 4:29
  fun, you know, You just never want to be in that spot.
• 4:31
  I suppose, yeah. I mean, I've always so I grew up
• 4:34
  in a big hire a couple dudes to come take care of the yard
• 4:39
  family. Yeah, that was.
• 4:40
  I don't really like my dad definitely like his like mowed
• 4:42
  the lawn and he had he at one point whenever we had a bigger
• 4:45
  yard, he had like a ride on lawnmower and it was the coolest
• 4:48
  thing. In the that's pretty, that's
• 4:49
  pretty safe. Especially, like, up north,
• 4:50
  whenever it, like, feels good. More time out of the year.
• 4:52
  And you can actually, like, not just hate yourself while doing
• 4:55
  that. One time, very quick story time.
• 4:57
  My dad down here in Texas rode over like a underground Hornet
• 5:02
  wasp hive. No way.
• 5:04
  Yeah. And one day we were like looking
• 5:06
  out the front yard. We were like, why is Dad just
• 5:07
  sitting there? And he's like swatting away.
• 5:09
  And we're like, oh, no. And then we go out there and
• 5:12
  he's like, get inside, get inside.
• 5:14
  Like he's just getting gunned down.
• 5:18
  Yeah, he got stung up, stung up something rough.
• 5:20
  But that's a that's a crazy story.
• 5:23
  So you were outside mowing your yard.
• 5:26
  And then let me just see if I shirt this right.
• 5:28
  You're outside shirtless, bricked up on a Sunday
• 5:31
  afternoon. And no.
• 5:32
  Well, middle-aged Hispanic man comes by and goes, ODA Levato,
• 5:36
  you ain't. I'm doing so hot.
• 5:40
  He pulls it out of his utility belt and he's like, here, hire
• 5:43
  me and. Then he went back to mowing the
• 5:45
  lawn like he stopped mowing lawn mow of the other house.
• 5:48
  Oh my God. So he felt like this was urgent.
• 5:50
  So he was like. He's like, oh, here's a good
• 5:56
  opportunity. Yeah, I threw that car in the
• 5:58
  trash. Why?
• 6:00
  Because I I can mow my lawn. Like this is do you know what?
• 6:03
  Motivation. Do you know what lawns he does?
• 6:07
  That's actually a good point. Yeah, I do.
• 6:09
  So you should be. I need to look at that loan and
• 6:10
  be like can I do better than this?
• 6:12
  Yeah, you need to be like like scoping out his moves and stuff.
• 6:14
  Would have like a magnifying glass just like laying down on
• 6:17
  the street of what that excuse me.
• 6:19
  Sorry about that, just something coming out of me.
• 6:21
  That's alright. That's the moment you know this
• 6:25
  literally the most like couple of white dudes just chumming it
• 6:27
  up podcast. Would you just burp right into
• 6:29
  the? Oh dude, you know we we're just
• 6:31
  a couple of whites that don't. Get and then in in a week, we're
• 6:33
  going to look at each other. Why?
• 6:35
  Why is our female demographic so low?
• 6:37
  Yeah, how come 4 ladies listen to how?
• 6:39
  Come, it's only 2% of our listeners.
• 6:41
  And half of them are married to us.
• 6:43
  That's actually, yeah. A great point.
• 6:44
  It could be all of them, but we're not Mormons.
• 6:46
  No, dude, you're sick in the world.
• 6:49
  It's so funny us having you know what's so funny is we have like
• 6:54
  3 clips from the Witnesses episode which has already been
• 6:56
  out way definitely by the time you see this.
• 6:59
  We put out the initial clip which is 100% the most middle of
• 7:04
  the road post. Yeah, it's not like it's nothing
• 7:07
  crazy. Commentary on anything.
• 7:08
  It's just like, hey, here's something that happened.
• 7:10
  You just talk about like a a story with Joseph Smith, which
• 7:15
  is so funny because you can tell and it's the same way with like
• 7:18
  people of the number 2 religion of the world.
• 7:20
  Whenever you post something about them, you know, it gets
• 7:23
  sent to like a bunch of group chats and then you have just all
• 7:26
  the standard like influencers just coming in and being like,
• 7:30
  oh, would you get in load of this guy?
• 7:31
  And it's like, shut up. Nobody cares.
• 7:33
  Like so one of the guys commented, Josh has the like,
• 7:38
  what do you say? Like the intellectual capability
• 7:39
  of a potato. Yeah, You know, in this same guy
• 7:42
  as the guy that I had the 2 hour discussion with and then he
• 7:45
  conveniently lost the footage to all of our discussion.
• 7:47
  Can we say his name? Yeah.
• 7:48
  Yeah. King Mosiah.
• 7:49
  King Mosiah. Interesting.
• 7:50
  Which I'm sure if I was a Mormon, great guy, sure, you
• 7:54
  know, but I'm not. So it's like they, I bet they
• 7:56
  love him. They do.
• 7:57
  Well, they especially love him because he's not just another
• 7:59
  white guy. They're like, thank God.
• 8:03
  Yeah, dude. Anyway, not to talk about the
• 8:05
  Mormons too much, but you know what man?
• 8:07
  What's up To talk about something, you know, talk about
• 8:10
  like white guys, politics. We're running for office.
• 8:14
  Hey, that's something we've genuinely talked about.
• 8:16
  We should, should we ever expose that like that plan?
• 8:20
  What? What better time than now?
• 8:22
  What better time than now? Am I right people?
• 8:25
  We're running for office, so maybe Texans whenever you go to
• 8:28
  votes Taylor, Rico or Paxton just right in binge look for.
• 8:32
  J&G Yeah, Josh and the. Jim, we're like a duo.
• 8:35
  Yeah, tag teaming the Well, hold on, I was gonna say tag teaming
• 8:39
  the mayor. No, that's not good.
• 8:41
  We're a couple of goofy goobers, but we can also be a little bit
• 8:45
  of. Serious.
• 8:46
  I mean, we're 18. Let's finish the vote.
• 8:48
  Goofy goober. Serious, serious snakes.
• 8:51
  That's not good. Yeah.
• 8:53
  You don't want to be a snake. In office black snake moan
• 8:57
  previous episode ball knowers. You know there are people who
• 8:59
  have like watched every episode, people who have like repeated
• 9:03
  episodes already. Why?
• 9:05
  What do you have to do? You get something to do Not
• 9:09
  good. I'm going to take these rings
• 9:10
  off because they're they're loud.
• 9:11
  You know I've told you about my spoon rings before, right?
• 9:13
  Your spoon rings. I have rings, they're both of my
• 9:16
  pinky rings that are made of like the stems of spoons and I
• 9:22
  like them. They're relatively cheap and
• 9:24
  they're also of a good size. Sorry, I mean, not that, not
• 9:29
  code, not that. Sorry you 2 please don't kill
• 9:33
  us. YouTube is that?
• 9:34
  Is that like a bleep word? Like, I know for a while, like,
• 9:36
  you literally couldn't say it, otherwise you'd get demonetized.
• 9:40
  You guys only do this for the money.
• 9:41
  Yeah, Yeah. That's why we have so many
• 9:43
  sponsors and merch, gosh. Dang it, I'm trying to pull up
• 9:47
  the the citizenship I want. I want to see before we talk
• 9:51
  politics. Let me go back into that 'cause
• 9:52
  I didn't even get to finish. Oh yeah, you pull up this Dang
• 9:55
  thing. Look, being people online who
• 9:58
  share their opinion on a myriad of things, people eventually ask
• 10:02
  our opinion on like the hottest subject in America, which is
• 10:06
  politics. And me and Josh aren't both like
• 10:09
  I. I really do feel like like if
• 10:11
  you took a second watched enough of our content, especially this
• 10:14
  Dang podcast, and you were like, I wonder what they think about
• 10:17
  you could probably figure it out, but.
• 10:20
  You know it's your context. Just so that people have like a
• 10:22
  thing they can go to. We're just gonna make this
• 10:24
  episode the one with politics or whatever.
• 10:27
  We whatever. Mid terms coming up.
• 10:28
  We feel like it's timely. Let's let's just put it all out
• 10:31
  there. Yeah, let's just give our exact
• 10:34
  beliefs. Why not like good terms?
• 10:36
  Why mid? You'll have to ask Jesus is he
• 10:41
  was Jesus? Frankly, was Jesus the first
• 10:44
  politician? He was a great guy.
• 10:46
  No, I'm saying. There were politicians.
• 10:48
  He was performing miracles. It was welfare in my opinion.
• 10:51
  I. Wouldn't I think you might be if
• 10:55
  you think what was Jesus the first politician so we came to?
• 11:00
  But we can say is that, Oh no, is that where we're?
• 11:05
  Oh man, whoopsie dudes. I had a post one time where I
• 11:08
  said sorry if I was doing the thing where it's like.
• 11:11
  Yeah, when you said the N word, I remember.
• 11:12
  That Nope, Nope, I didn't do that.
• 11:14
  I didn't do that. And you?
• 11:15
  Deleted it 'cause I. Don't want people to see it.
• 11:17
  Boo this dude. Here we go.
• 11:19
  That works too. No, no, I, I, I was, I was in
• 11:24
  the midst of like a couple of rough days and I had posted some
• 11:27
  probably like real sorrowful posts and I literally just came
• 11:31
  out of it and I was like, hey, turns out the world wasn't
• 11:35
  ending. I'm just something and
• 11:37
  restarted, which is a typical online thing for not wanting to
• 11:40
  say the R word like I just did, which whoopsie Daisy.
• 11:45
  And a lot of people got upset, which I understand, but it
• 11:50
  happens. Just feels like there's more
• 11:51
  things going on in the world. You know what I mean?
• 11:52
  There's literally, like, I don't know, an island full of satanic
• 11:55
  pedophiles who steal children and then, like, eat them and do
• 11:58
  horrific things to them, but you're going to be mad at me
• 12:00
  over a word? A word like Microsoft.
• 12:04
  Are you kidding me? Yeah, come on.
• 12:05
  Yeah, I bet you are Microsoft, whereas we are Josh, pointing to
• 12:09
  the wall. Bricks up, bricks up.
• 12:15
  Anyhow, this is off to an Immaculate start.
• 12:17
  I must say this might be so. All that to say, I love it.
• 12:20
  This is my favorite episode ever.
• 12:22
  All that to say, politics. Politics.
• 12:24
  Yeah, Let's talk. I want to 1st give our viewers
• 12:28
  an idea of the validity because people want to know that they're
• 12:32
  hearing about politics from a very educated source.
• 12:34
  So I was like, OK, what better way to show them that we're
• 12:37
  educated than have you passed a citizenship test with flying
• 12:41
  colors just so people can be like, Oh, yeah, he's an American
• 12:43
  citizen. Flying colors, Yeah, OK.
• 12:46
  I mean, we'll see. What what does that qualify?
• 12:48
  Like a 70. Yeah, I think.
• 12:50
  It's I was a real 70 kid. Well then that's perfect.
• 12:53
  That's what you need to pass. I bet, I bet you got good grades
• 12:55
  right in school and stuff. Yeah, for sure.
• 12:57
  My parents would have killed me if I wanted.
• 12:58
  Well, my parents, I think in a certain point now, whatever, I
• 13:02
  don't want to derail it too much.
• 13:03
  I was really like a getting by kid.
• 13:05
  Yeah, because I was, I was too much of a class clown.
• 13:07
  They say the real intellectuals don't do well in school, but the
• 13:10
  interstellar kids they like. Start like successful businesses
• 13:14
  like Steve Jobs, the interstellar dig.
• 13:16
  I just know what's up. Just that.
• 13:18
  I bet, I bet it took a minute. OK, here you go.
• 13:21
  First question. Time.
• 13:22
  Yeah, Go ahead, go ahead. Murph.
• 13:25
  No, Murph, Not the citizenship test.
• 13:27
  Murph. Murph.
• 13:28
  Ben, what does the Constitution do?
• 13:31
  A protect individual states from federal overreach and taxation.
• 13:36
  B declares independence from Great Britain and establishes
• 13:39
  foreign alliances. C sets up the government,
• 13:42
  defines the government, and protects the basic rights of
• 13:44
  Americans. Or D establishes the national
• 13:46
  banking and federal tax collection collection systems.
• 13:49
  The Constitution. The Constitution is it C.
• 13:53
  That is correct. Thank goodness dude, I didn't
• 13:57
  know. What?
• 13:58
  I thought we're done, right? That's it.
• 14:01
  No. Oh, OK.
• 14:02
  I hate to break it. I didn't know what I thought
• 14:03
  this is in ship test would be. I should have thought it'd be
• 14:06
  things to do with the government.
• 14:07
  As soon as you were like, what does the Constitution do?
• 14:10
  I thought you wanted me to answer that.
• 14:12
  Like just tell me. Yeah, open book test.
• 14:14
  Yeah, yeah. OK.
• 14:15
  Sorry. Go ahead.
• 14:15
  Question two. What stops 1 branch of
• 14:17
  government from becoming too powerful?
• 14:19
  Checks and balances and separation of powers.
• 14:22
  The absolute authority of the military over civilian agencies.
• 14:25
  The veto power held exclusively by state governors over federal
• 14:28
  laws. Direct democracy Referendums
• 14:31
  mandated for every federal decision.
• 14:34
  It's the first one, right? Checks and.
• 14:36
  Powers, that is correct. Oh.
• 14:37
  Thank God you just might be a citizen after I might.
• 14:39
  Yeah. Born and bred.
• 14:42
  Yeah. Which is OK, like you don't have
• 14:44
  to whatever. Wait.
• 14:47
  Why did you bring food into it? You said bread, what does it
• 14:51
  have to do with anything? Wow.
• 14:53
  Really. Oh, just because.
• 14:54
  Oh, just be. This is literally all you.
• 14:56
  Start taking Ozempic and now I can't talk about bread.
• 14:59
  This is. This is literally I'm dying.
• 15:01
  This is this is literally all muscle and bone and you know.
• 15:04
  That I know. OK, go ahead.
• 15:06

• 15:10

• 16:54
  I'm locking. In Why did the American
• 16:56
  colonists fight the British? Because of high taxes without
• 16:59
  political representation? Because Britain banned all
• 17:02
  religious practices in the colonies?
• 17:04
  Because the British crown tried to abolish property ownership?
• 17:08
  Because Britain allied with foreign empires against That's
• 17:10
  correct, that's correct, that's. Correct.
• 17:14
  OK, Cool cool cool, cool cool cool live.
• 17:16
  Studio Audience How many amendments does the US
• 17:19
  Constitution currently have? 10, 152127.
• 17:26
  Oh my gosh. I know it's not 10 or 15 because
• 17:32
  there's the last two are 21 or 27.
• 17:36
  Yeah, yeah. Freak.
• 17:39
  How many questions are there after this 2?
• 17:41
  Two. Yeah, this one's pretty.
• 17:42
  Bored. It's either 21 or 27 I.
• 17:46
  Was thinking. Is it?
• 17:48
  Oh my gosh, dude. Hello man, it's me.
• 17:50
  This is your conscience. Hey, Dave.
• 17:54
  Yeah. I'm here, Ben, do you want you
• 17:57
  want a lifeline I. Would like a lifeline.
• 17:59
  Well, I feel like OK. I'm not going to lie, I don't
• 18:01
  know the answer to this question, Dave.
• 18:02
  You are useless, you 4th dimensional.
• 18:04
  I tell you what, I'll give you a hint, OK?
• 18:07
  You got to think there's the 19th Amendment.
• 18:09
  I know that one because that's what gave women.
• 18:11
  Dave, if you manifested right now and beat the hell out of you
• 18:14
  so. If there's 19, it feels like
• 18:17
  there's probably 27 instead of 21, is my line of thinking,
• 18:21
  'cause we gave women the right to vote.
• 18:22
  'Cause that was a while ago, that was, yeah.
• 18:23
  But how many more amendments have we even added since then,
• 18:26
  Dave? It's been kind of crazy out
• 18:29
  here, Ben. We've probably had to.
• 18:30
  I'm not gonna lie, that is actually very convincing.
• 18:33
  Yeah, but does amendments. Son of a whatever, 27.
• 18:36
  I bet it's 21. Yep, it's 27.
• 18:38
  Let's. Go.
• 18:40
  No, I'm not gonna lie 'cause I was thinking the same thing
• 18:42
  about 'cause I know the one that the like alpha male dudes online
• 18:46
  are always Which, by the way, quick aside, have you heard
• 18:49
  about the clavicular stuff? No, you know who clavicular?
• 18:51
  Is he's the dude that's like looks maxing.
• 18:54
  Looks maxing bones maxing and stuff.
• 18:55
  Apparently me and my my dad actually told me about this
• 18:58
  apparently that he has like legitimate charges from like an
• 19:00
  underage girl. Of course, like, right, because
• 19:03
  it's crazy, it's weird. It's almost like everybody from
• 19:06
  like the alpha male red pill side almost always does weird
• 19:10
  stuff with. Kids, I want to know what
• 19:11
  happens, Ben because it feels like it's like not only that,
• 19:15
  but just people get to a point of notoriety and it's it's
• 19:18
  usually men. It's always men.
• 19:20
  It feels like in a switch flips in their brain that says, oh, I
• 19:24
  like girls that are under 18 now.
• 19:26
  Children just like children. Children in general, boys or
• 19:28
  girls, it really makes you look, I'm I'm not, I'm gonna say this
• 19:31
  and don't hear what I'm not saying.
• 19:33
  But people like Tiger Woods who just cheat on their wife with an
• 19:37
  adult. They we should, we should at the
• 19:40
  very least look at them be like, hey man, thanks for not.
• 19:43
  At least they. Were not like diddling a 12 year
• 19:44
  old like a lot of these freaks do.
• 19:46
  And again Tiger Woods bad guy for doing that bad thing also.
• 19:49
  I'm just saying. Glad he's not driving.
• 19:51
  Thank God, brother. Get out the car.
• 19:54
  Pick up one of these if I. Was the CEO of Uber.
• 19:57
  I would call Tiger Woods right now and say how much.
• 20:01
  Did he just get in trouble again?
• 20:02
  He, yeah, he got in trouble. He got his license revoked for
• 20:04
  five years. I would call him and say how
• 20:07
  much commercial. What is Tiger Woods net worth?
• 20:10
  Oh he he can afford yeah he's fine he's fine.
• 20:13
  OK, OK, OK anyway, yeah, I just wanted to point that out the
• 20:16
  Uber red like straight up this is legit 1.5 billion He can he
• 20:21
  probably already has a private driver.
• 20:23
  I would if I was him. There is this thing online where
• 20:27
  like, and I have a lot of them that follow me.
• 20:28
  God bless you all. But like if you and your bio you
• 20:31
  have like training young men to be better men.
• 20:35
  I kind of dude, I kind of don't trust you.
• 20:38
  Yep, just do that. You know what I mean?
• 20:40
  Or get a real. Job.
• 20:42
  OK, OK. Well, we're influencers, so
• 20:44
  people would tell us to do that. We also have real jobs.
• 20:46
  That's true, yeah. When I see that I'm like, what
• 20:48
  qualifies you? Like what life experience or
• 20:51
  training do you have to train young men?
• 20:53
  I just, for me, it's, it's in the same way like as as an
• 20:56
  influencer, if I had apologist in my thing, it'd be like, Oh my
• 21:00
  gosh, go blow yourself, you know what I mean?
• 21:02
  Like like literally, literally, but cut that.
• 21:05
  But at the same time, no, leave that in.
• 21:07
  I don't care. Leave it in.
• 21:09
  Cut that, leave it in. Made a kid type.
• 21:12
  Let's go. Doesn't matter.
• 21:13
  Let's get back to the test. OK, we have what, two more
• 21:15
  questions? Two more questions 2 or it says
• 21:17
  8 out of 10. Oh well.
• 21:18
  What are two rights stated in the Declaration of Independence?
• 21:22
  I wish we had like who wants to be a millionaire music dude?
• 21:24
  Seriously, what are two rights? That's not good, dude.
• 21:33
  Oh, go. What are two rights state in the
• 21:34
  Declaration of Independence? Free public health care and
• 21:37
  guaranteed employment. Life and liberty, The right to
• 21:40
  bear arms and freedom of the press.
• 21:42
  Trial by jury and voting access for all adults.
• 21:46
  Wait, I'm sorry, what are the the rights guaranteed by the?
• 21:49
  What are two? Rights stated in the Declaration
• 21:52
  of Independence. Free public health care and
• 21:54
  guaranteed employment. Life and liberty, the right to
• 21:58
  bear arms and freedom of the press.
• 22:00
  Well, I'm trying to remember because there's the Bill of
• 22:02
  Rights and that's separate from the from the independence.
• 22:07
  That's so crazy. I'm a 29 year old man who has
• 22:11
  spent his entire life in the US. No, and I'm only saying this to
• 22:14
  say I flubbed on what the Declaration of Independence is
• 22:17
  called. I've seen national treasure so
• 22:19
  many times. Off the top of my head I want to
• 22:21
  say the life in liberty. Life in liberty.
• 22:24
  I want to say that but. That is correct because it's.
• 22:28
  Life in Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness, right?
• 22:30
  OK, great movie by the way. Pursuit of happiness.
• 22:33
  Oh my God. Saw it way too young and it's
• 22:35
  like so sad but also incredible. OK, I think we have two more
• 22:39
  now. OK, what is 1 important thing
• 22:41
  that Susan B Anthony did? Invented the first standardized
• 22:45
  public school curriculum. Signed the original Declaration
• 22:48
  of Independence. Fought for women's rights and
• 22:50
  suffrage. Led the Continental Continental
• 22:53
  Army during the Revolutionary War.
• 22:56
  I'm gonna feel like a real I I feel I kind of feel like a
• 22:59
  misogynist for definitely not picking some of these.
• 23:01
  Is it the third one? Woman suffrage.
• 23:03
  That is correct. Thank God.
• 23:05
  All right. OK.
• 23:07
  I mean you. Passed.
• 23:08
  We don't have to do the last one.
• 23:10
  What's the last one? Tell me the last one.
• 23:11
  OK, No, let's do it though I'm on a streak.
• 23:13
  Why does the American flag have 13 stripes?
• 23:16
  Because there were 13 original colonies to represent the 1st 13
• 23:19
  US presidents To symbolize the 13 major military battles?
• 23:21
  Because. There are 13 colonies 1. 80%,
• 23:25
  Ben, you get to be a citizen. We don't have to send you to
• 23:27
  Guatemala again. Let's go.
• 23:30
  Oh, hey, hey. Mino, so I stay.
• 23:33
  In Como say do you say? People funny, whatever.
• 23:38
  I don't know, I was trying to think of a Bad Bunny song, but I
• 23:40
  don't know, say Bad Bunny, dude. Talented.
• 23:44
  You talk about a talent like when I think of like Jamie Foxx
• 23:49
  for black people, Bad Bunny for Latinos, he's so talented, he
• 23:52
  can do it all. What, Jamie Foxx for black
• 23:55
  people is Bad Bunny for Latinos? Yeah, no.
• 23:59
  Is Jamie Foxx not the most talented I would say.
• 24:03
  Most talented women. Human but since I'm bringing it
• 24:06
  into race, is Jamie Foxx not the most talented black person Let's
• 24:08
  be like so for. Real.
• 24:09
  No, I don't think so. Also I but here's what I would
• 24:11
  also say. Jamie Foxx is also has the
• 24:13
  ability to be a great actor. I've never seen that from Badr.
• 24:18
  Sure, but being but doing multiple things isn't the same
• 24:21
  as somebody who's like, great at some of those things when.
• 24:23
  I think of talent. I think you can do a lot of
• 24:25
  things, yeah. But again, he's a good actor.
• 24:28
  But he's not like, have you? Have you seen Ray?
• 24:31
  There's no Bad Bunny version. Not yet.
• 24:33
  He could do it. Whatever.
• 24:34
  Yeah. He also does that stuff, which I
• 24:36
  hate. Like the people I, I don't know.
• 24:37
  And I know people, people like it because they like the
• 24:40
  celebrity. But like the Met Gala stuff
• 24:42
  where it's like, did you see where he went as like a 50 year
• 24:44
  old version of himself or like a 60 year old version?
• 24:46
  No, that's kind of crazy. Well, and it's like, hey, it's
• 24:48
  cool. He hired a whole team of people
• 24:50
  to do all these effect cool. I hate that.
• 24:52
  What are you doing? I hate the Met Gala.
• 24:54
  I hate all that stuff. I hate.
• 24:55
  I hate whenever people use those big events where they pay
• 24:57
  millions of dollars to like make a point.
• 25:00
  And it's always like some yeah, It's like, oh, wow, we're really
• 25:04
  going to end world hunger now because, yeah, you wore a
• 25:06
  $2,000,000 dress. Thank you.
• 25:08
  How much did the event cost? Yeah.
• 25:10
  Crazy. How about all these people that
• 25:11
  have so many Lord knows how many followers across all their
• 25:14
  social medias just encourage their followers.
• 25:16
  Hey, everybody give a dollar to this.
• 25:18
  No, it'll match. Sure.
• 25:21
  Yeah. Or or not even that.
• 25:22
  Just. Hey, do this.
• 25:23
  Yeah. You know how many people?
• 25:24
  Whatever. Anyway, let's get into politics.
• 25:27
  Let's. Get into politics man.
• 25:30
  I I think the thing that I hate most about politics right now is
• 25:35
  how freaking old they all are. Incredibly old like people are.
• 25:39
  Probably on Mitch McConnell, Mitch B, Mitch McConnell.
• 25:44
  Mitch. Hey, Mitch.
• 25:46
  Mitch, Mitch, you all right? You doing all right, man?
• 25:52
  You do. Oh, OK.
• 25:53
  Well, that's actually a decent bit.
• 25:54
  No, Mitch. No, no, Mitch.
• 25:57
  Put it down, bitch, put it down. You got some cavities, huh?
• 26:03
  Yeah, you got grey teeth. No, you don't have grey teeth.
• 26:08
  I say great. Oh, great.
• 26:09
  I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 26:10
  Never mind. I really wasn't trying to make
• 26:13
  that anything. I was just joking.
• 26:14
  No, you're good. You're good.
• 26:15
  Thanks, man. It's fine.
• 26:16
  I'm going to the dentist tomorrow.
• 26:17
  Whatever. Yeah, whatever.
• 26:18
  No, but they're they're. So old, like I've told you guys,
• 26:21
  like the, the, the night that Eli was conceived was the night
• 26:24
  of the, the Biden Trump debate and.
• 26:26
  I still just don't watch for because it was so.
• 26:29
  Comical, like we were dying laughing just out of sheer like
• 26:34
  holy cow, like this is our situation.
• 26:36
  Like the leader of the free world and the leader of our
• 26:37
  nation. For sure.
• 26:39
  We're we're choosing between coughing baby and coughing baby.
• 26:41
  Yes, yes, yes, they're both. There's no nuclear balls.
• 26:44
  There's no nuclear balls. Well, you know what's great
• 26:46
  actually is that both coughing babies have the access to all
• 26:49
  the nuclear. Balls.
• 26:50
  That's perfect. It's great.
• 26:51
  That's exactly. What we want.
• 26:52
  It's so beautiful. Yeah.
• 26:53
  I just want to know like, OK, I feel like that night, Matt, I'd
• 26:56
  like, 'cause you're, you're like a regular person who look looked
• 26:59
  at me sideways whenever he did that on the night of that, it
• 27:03
  reminds me, yes, we are. Are we sex shaming?
• 27:06
  Yes, OK, It reminds me of in movies, how many situations?
• 27:09
  No, no, that's mine. Oh my gosh, how many situations
• 27:15
  in movies for some reason and in sex, whether it be like an
• 27:18
  argument or like whatever thing, and then all of a sudden people
• 27:21
  are just like the idea of you and your wife.
• 27:25
  You guys are married then. Yeah, the idea of this.
• 27:29
  We had our we, we had our second child in marriage in our first.
• 27:36
  I want to confirm I don't. Know what I'm I don't know what
• 27:40
  I'm on in the night, but no. But the idea that you guys are
• 27:43
  sitting there and you're like the state of this country's
• 27:46
  crazy, just just just dog it out.
• 27:50
  Laughter. Hey.
• 27:52
  Laughter is a great aphrodisiac, let's be honest.
• 27:54
  Not in my house. In my house we schedule sex.

  Pee pee hard less word do trick. Do but do trick.
• 29:02
  Thank you, Bubba. It's, it's, it's crazy, like
• 29:04
  thinking of, it's like I, I don't know, because we're still
• 29:08
  fairly young. We're Youngs, you know, We're
• 29:10
  100. Percent young.
• 29:12
  Well, hold up. You're you just turned you 31 or
• 29:15
  32. 31 all. Right, well one of us is young
• 29:20
  bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Got a 2 in my age.
• 29:24
  Bum bum, bum, bum, bum that. Was so funny, Ben.
• 29:27
  All right, I don't like that is like a really pathetic laugh
• 29:31
  track too. No, because it wasn't that
• 29:33
  funny. Our live studio audience knows
• 29:34
  better for sure. But it's like when I look at
• 29:37
  politicians and the idea being I caught it.
• 29:41
  What the heck? That was like a all right,
• 29:43
  that's a sight gag. The idea being like, yeah, we
• 29:46
  elect politicians so that policies can be enacted.
• 29:50
  So like that, life gets better. And people are protected, sure,
• 29:53
  that's what happens. That should be, in theory, what
• 29:56
  happened. Ideally.
• 29:56
  Ideally. Yes.
• 29:57
  And then you look at some of the ages of these people and it's
• 29:59
  like, dog, you were born that your Coca-Cola was invented.
• 30:04
  Like you grew up using separate water fountains.
• 30:06
  You don't know 100%. You don't know about shit.
• 30:08
  And you're supposed to sit in here.
• 30:10
  And no, I'm getting worked up now.
• 30:11
  I'm getting worked up. We have so many.
• 30:14
  We have so many old geriatric farts.
• 30:18
  No, but it's like. You're, you're telling me.
• 30:20
  And I've got their names right here.
• 30:21
  Just some of the oldest ones, you're telling me.
• 30:23
  And addresses. Write them down.
• 30:26
  Let's get them that definitely didn't.
• 30:27
  Pete Oh my gosh, write it down. They're supposed to like, I'm
• 30:31
  supposed to believe that they know what's going on.
• 30:34
  Like I my grandmother's 8182. We're we, we've got people way
• 30:40
  older than that in office. Oh my gosh, yeah.
• 30:43
  I've got a couple for you. Here you go, Nancy Pelosi.
• 30:45
  Guess how old Nancy Pelosi is real?
• 30:47
  Spill that you said 70. 6. You said 76, I'm gonna say 82.
• 30:51
  86 OH. My God.
• 30:54
  She was born in 1940. Yeah.
• 30:56
  Yeah. She has a net worth of $285
• 30:58
  million. What have you been doing?
• 31:00
  That's good. Everything's cool, right, Nancy?
• 31:02
  That's all your like, government payout.
• 31:04
  I'm supposed to believe someone with that high of a net worth at
• 31:06
  the age of 86 is like. How can I help normal people?
• 31:09
  Yeah, I'm gonna tell you after we go through some of this and
• 31:12
  talk about some of the politics stuff.
• 31:13
  The solution I came to the conclusion of not.
• 31:15
  That long ago. I want solutions.
• 31:17
  Yeah, for sure. Here's another one.
• 31:18
  This is the. I'm just going to jump to the
• 31:19
  oldest one, Chuck Grassley. He's an Iowa senator.
• 31:24
  Still active. Still active.
• 31:25
  Guess how old he is? Do you know how long he's been
• 31:27
  the Iowa senator? I don't.
• 31:29
  I think he's. And that's the other thing with
• 31:30
  these people. That's the other thing.
• 31:31
  He probably hasn't been senator but for maybe four years, but he
• 31:34
  was maybe a House of Representatives and he was
• 31:36
  something. Else some other fake, they just
• 31:37
  stay. On the tit of like the
• 31:39
  government. Excuse me?
• 31:41
  Like some other fake thing he was before.
• 31:42
  OK, how old is he? You go.
• 31:44
  I'm gonna jump to the oldest 1. You started with an 86 year old.
• 31:48
  I'm gonna guess he is 95. OK, what do you guess 98?
• 31:54
  He's 93. You guys both.
• 31:55
  OK, OK. Yeah. 93 years old.
• 31:58
  Should there not be a cut off? I mean there's and this is
• 32:02
  always an. Interesting idea.
• 32:03
  This has always been interesting to me.
• 32:04
  Thank you. I just came up with it for the
• 32:05
  first time. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:07
  Has always been interesting to me.
• 32:08
  You have to be of a certain age to be president, right, Which
• 32:11
  everybody typically, like double s by like 35.
• 32:13
  Well, the youngest president, it's 35.
• 32:15
  The youngest president was JFK, and he was, and they killed him.
• 32:19
  They did kill him. We could talk about that.
• 32:21
  You guys want us to talk about that.
• 32:22
  We could talk about that. You know who else they killed?
• 32:25
  I mean, a lot of people, but Martin Luther King Junior, yeah,
• 32:27
  yeah, yeah. Which is, isn't that like it's
• 32:29
  very obvious, the government, the US government definitely
• 32:32
  took out MLK Junior and JFK, which aren't even like crazy
• 32:35
  things to say because the MLK family for a long, long time did
• 32:40
  not believe. And still they don't believe
• 32:42
  that. Jackie Earl Haley, I don't
• 32:44
  think. Jackie Hill Perry.
• 32:45
  Jackie Hill Perry killed MLK Junior.
• 32:49
  No, we're going to leave that. So Jackie Hill Perry was pinned,
• 32:52
  Jackie. Went on the podcast so we were
• 32:54
  talking about how you killed MLK.
• 32:55
  This is the way that I walk. This is the way they're not.
• 32:58
  Anyway, she has a new song that matter.
• 33:01
  I was going to play it because it's a banger.
• 33:03
  Any who. Yeah.
• 33:04
  Just basically the guy, the three named Guy Jackie Hill
• 33:07
  Perry, who was pinned on him. The story is garbage.
• 33:11
  It's literally paper thin. And they haven't believed for
• 33:14
  years and years and years. But like, even before the guy
• 33:16
  died in prison, they went to him.
• 33:18
  There's a very, like, genuinely touching story of Martin Luther
• 33:21
  King Junior's son going up to him and asking him, I just have
• 33:25
  to ask you face to face, did you kill my father?
• 33:28
  And he goes, I did not. And he goes, I don't think he
• 33:30
  did. And like, they did a whole civil
• 33:33
  court case of like the, the, the King family versus the United
• 33:38
  States government. But because it's a civil court
• 33:39
  case, it's like the OJ one, it doesn't really do anything.
• 33:42
  And they sued the government for like $100 just to prove that
• 33:45
  they don't care about the money. They just care about the truth.
• 33:47
  And they won the court case. No way they won the, you can
• 33:50
  look it up. It's like 2001 or like 2005.
• 33:53
  Yeah, they, they won. They like convinced the court
• 33:56
  that the US government killed their, their father, like killed
• 34:00
  Martin Luther King junior and whatever.
• 34:03
  Anyway, So I, I think, see, this is one of those things where I
• 34:06
  feel like if people just listen for a second, they would
• 34:09
  probably understand how we feel about politics, how we feel
• 34:12
  exactly. Because here's the thing.
• 34:13
  We're both just being blunt. We're both white Christian guys
• 34:17
  who are big in certain spaces online, so people will typically
• 34:22
  lump us in with other people. And I can understand why and
• 34:26
  there's definitely some shared beliefs, but I have shared
• 34:28
  beliefs with literally everyone because I think that the modern
• 34:32
  political paradigm, which again, I'm not a deep thinker or
• 34:34
  whatever the for the saying this, it's so anachronistic.
• 34:39
  It doesn't solve anything. It's literally just used.
• 34:42
  First off, I'm 100% one of those people.
• 34:43
  Call me a conspiracy theorist. That's why I said like, yeah,
• 34:47
  sure, you vote for whoever. I don't know to what degree I
• 34:50
  even think any of that does anything.
• 34:51
  It does nothing, I genuinely think.
• 34:53
  And the Epstein files definitely didn't help.
• 34:56
  Nope. That there are, that there are
• 34:59
  groups of people in the government, they decide when
• 35:03
  they come and when they go. And we all just kind of sit idly
• 35:05
  by and we have to sit through the, the, the sways of like,
• 35:09
  hey, we're more leaning this way.
• 35:11
  We're more leaning this way. And then it's, it's just the
• 35:13
  inevitable thing. And they sit by while we all
• 35:16
  literally just tear each other to pieces over things.
• 35:19
  That if we all sat down and everybody knows this, that's the
• 35:22
  other thing that's like. Every rational person knows
• 35:25
  that. Everybody knows.
• 35:26
  Like at the end of the day, there's extremists, sure, but
• 35:29
  every rational person that has like a family, like I, I think
• 35:33
  in my mind of people that like, I don't agree with on
• 35:35
  everything, but I can look at someone who's like a Mormon, for
• 35:38
  example, and it's like, hey, like you have a family.
• 35:40
  Like you pay your taxes, like you're a hard working American
• 35:42
  that's contributing to society. And I, you know, religion aside,
• 35:46
  or or maybe a a different, you know, belief.
• 35:48
  Systems things weren't labeled a certain way we would would you
• 35:51
  think like this is one of the ones that's like not even that
• 35:54
  crazy your taxes are already going towards.
• 35:59
  Israel. Yeah, like loads of whatever
• 36:03
  would you be completely look. At how much we sent Israel?
• 36:05
  U.S. government sent Israel in 2025.
• 36:08
  Would you be OK if a portion 'cause it wouldn't take all of
• 36:12
  it, but if a portion of your tax money went to a universal
• 36:15
  healthcare system to where, like people who, I don't know, give
• 36:19
  birth in hospitals, they don't have to pay that, would you be
• 36:22
  OK with that? I genuinely believe most people
• 36:24
  would be like, yeah, or that or that a, a, a single mom or just
• 36:29
  a struggling family who needs childcare that that would be
• 36:32
  covered. Yeah.
• 36:33
  Also, are you OK with, you know, some of your money, maybe not
• 36:37
  all of your money, but some of your money going towards, I
• 36:40
  don't know, a standing army. So that somebody a defense,
• 36:43
  right. But does it have to be, I don't
• 36:45
  know, trillions of however much it is to where it's like, yeah,
• 36:48
  we, we made this new thing and we have like a billion of these
• 36:50
  and four. Million, I will say when it
• 36:52
  comes to defense. We're killing it.
• 36:55
  Whenever I see like a beat, like whenever we captured Maduro.
• 36:58
  Yeah. I was like, hell yeah.
• 37:00
  Of course. So sick.
• 37:01
  Of course I was. So elated that my tax dollars
• 37:03
  went to that. I was like, let's freaking go.
• 37:05
  Yeah, but also OK, the fact. That it was successful.
• 37:09
  If it failed then I'd be like, what are we doing?
• 37:11
  Yeah. But there there is also this
• 37:13
  thing of like, do we have to be Big Brother to the world?
• 37:16
  Especially whenever so often we just go into other places in the
• 37:19
  world, we we mess up their thing.
• 37:22
  We put some guy in place and then we're just like, hey, we're
• 37:25
  we're literally just like fingers in pies all over the
• 37:28
  world. And to what degree is that
• 37:29
  because Israel us. I mean, yeah.
• 37:32
  Like why are we in the Middle East right now?
• 37:33
  Well, that's 100% true. How much?
• 37:35
  How much? How?
• 37:36
  Much. How much?
• 37:36
  There's 22 numbers 1. In direct cash 3 billion and
• 37:42
  then one in military aid 4 billion so.
• 37:46
  So $7 billion. Actually feels like a lot lower
• 37:48
  than I was thinking 20. Three, 21.7 billion in just
• 37:52
  military. Here's the thing.
• 37:53
  You know, what's crazy is that we just said that, yeah, like
• 37:56
  that doesn't actually sound like that.
• 37:57
  It's 21,000 million. It's 21 thousand, $1,000,000.
• 38:02
  And we're just like, OK, I actually thought it'd be more,
• 38:04
  which by the way, 100%. I think it probably is more.
• 38:07
  I don't know. They're feeding us that.
• 38:09
  Whatever. I don't know.
• 38:10
  Yeah, I like and I don't because it's so easy to sound like
• 38:13
  somebody who's like, I don't trust anything or and it's like,
• 38:16
  yeah, I kind of don't, but that's, but also I have to
• 38:18
  exist, you know what I mean? Like I, I have to go about my
• 38:21
  regular day-to-day. Yes.
• 38:22
  I and I think this is the, the situation that most people find
• 38:25
  themselves in. Yeah.
• 38:26
  I even if you're not like a, a, a, a Christian.
• 38:29
  Yeah. I think that the government is
• 38:31
  like evil and they do evil and we know they do evil things.
• 38:34
  We know regularly there is proof after proof after proof.
• 38:38
  But also, what am I going to do? And that's literally where I
• 38:41
  find myself like we could wait and we're going to talk about
• 38:44
  certain topics. How do you feel?
• 38:45
  How do you go one way or the other?
• 38:47
  And you know, I do think a lot of the times my, I mean, even
• 38:51
  talking about what I just talked about a minute ago, the
• 38:53
  healthcare thing, most people, a lot of people, not most, a lot
• 38:57
  of people would be like, wow, he sounds like a radical leftist.
• 39:00
  He wants me to pay for just like poor and impoverished people to
• 39:04
  have like regular healthcare. Get the out of here.
• 39:07
  But it's like, is that is that so crazy?
• 39:10
  Is that so wild? If you were not so indoctrinated
• 39:14
  in this like left right system where the right thinks this and
• 39:20
  the left thinks this, would you still think it was crazy?
• 39:22
  Also here's here's a Would it still?
• 39:23
  Be wrong if so on that topic because the people that have
• 39:26
  healthcare unless you work for the government I don't know how
• 39:29
  that works. You have to pay for it still.
• 39:31
  It's just for your company. What if, hey, the amount that
• 39:35
  you pay in taxes for universal Healthcare is less than what you
• 39:38
  pay through like your company for private health insurance?
• 39:42
  What if it then which would probably be the case.
• 39:45
  It just doesn't make sense it. Doesn't make any sense.
• 39:49
  And that's one. Of those things and I, I brought
• 39:51
  it to the age and kind of overarching first to kind of
• 39:54
  drive home the point of like, because I think people are
• 39:56
  looking for us to be like Republican or Democrat.
• 39:58
  No one's on our side. Like none of them.
• 40:00
  Care, I don't like any of them. I want whenever I I'll jump to
• 40:04
  the end right now. My conclusion we were talking
• 40:06
  about this earlier while we were waiting for Matt to get here a
• 40:09
  couple years ago, I like started getting a little bit more into
• 40:12
  like and and I'm not still here. I don't align myself as like an
• 40:15
  anarchist, but whenever I look at the government, the idea, I
• 40:21
  don't know, the idea that the solution of the reform would
• 40:23
  come through the very system that, like, gives birth to and
• 40:28
  breeds up people like Jeffrey Epstein, People like all the
• 40:32
  other Jeffrey Epstein's that we've never even heard of.
• 40:34
  Because if you think there aren't others, you're insane.
• 40:37
  If you think there aren't situations where it's much
• 40:39
  worse, you're insane. So the idea that that same
• 40:42
  system, you could just, like, reform it, I just don't think
• 40:46
  so. So I really do.
• 40:48
  I want to take the snake. I want to take the hydra.
• 40:51
  OK, let's say it is. And you know, the way you kill a
• 40:53
  hydra, you have to cut off every head.
• 40:57
  You have to cut it off like at the base.
• 40:58
  And I think that that is the solution.
• 41:01
  Like I really do like as radical, whatever it is, it is.
• 41:03
  And by the way, because I under I understand some people would
• 41:06
  be like, how can you say this as a Christian to some degree?
• 41:10
  Like you either have to take, I don't know, like if you, if you
• 41:14
  look at the teachings and preachings of Christ and how a
• 41:16
  Christian is supposed to care for themselves.
• 41:20
  If I for a second go well, the government is solely responsible
• 41:24
  for the for the horrific death and also abuse of millions of
• 41:30
  people, countries of people. It is very easy for me to then
• 41:35
  be able to come up with a valid enough reason why I could do
• 41:41
  whatever to the government. Because in the same way, if a
• 41:44
  guy came in here with a gun and was threatening to kill Matt,
• 41:48
  Josh and I would do whatever we could to stop that man.
• 41:52
  The idea, yeah, 100%. Dude, you know what?
• 41:56
  But. No, that's exactly right.
• 41:58
  It's like there's, I think as Christians, there's definitely a
• 42:04
  call for us to be like good citizens in the government.
• 42:06
  Right there is, and we. Are but at the same time it's
• 42:08
  not UN Christ like to want reform like oh, I want this to
• 42:12
  be better. Well, at the same time, there
• 42:14
  were times in history and there are places around the world
• 42:16
  where it's illegal to be a Christian that there just are
• 42:19
  there's tons of places are the. Christians in those countries
• 42:21
  bad for wanting to. Reform should they abandoned
• 42:23
  their faith to be no, because you should be a good boy.
• 42:26
  You should adhere to Christ and that's a thing and there's that
• 42:29
  on both sides. I'm a good boy.
• 42:31
  Like, I just want to, oh, whatever, literally whatever,
• 42:34
  like Daddy Trump says or whatever Daddy big Government
• 42:37
  says those are. And they're both big government.
• 42:40
  That's the thing. That's one of the other things
• 42:42
  that's so incredibly frustrating.
• 42:44
  But then people look at someone like me and they go like, well,
• 42:47
  you're just unrealistic. And it's like, yeah, maybe.
• 42:50
  Maybe I I'd rather be. Maybe the whole system will
• 42:52
  never burn down in America, but also maybe I'm not going to sit
• 42:55
  around and literally because again, both sides do this and I
• 42:57
  don't care how many verses they have in their bio bio or how
• 43:00
  much truer to Christ they think they are.
• 43:02
  Both of them treat politics and politicians like their saviours,
• 43:08
  like they are going to be the ones that bring about the the
• 43:12
  the perfection. And it's like that's not the
• 43:14
  case. It's like, I, I think the point
• 43:16
  with this side of the conversation at least is like,
• 43:20
  I'm not going to like I have so little faith in the system that
• 43:24
  I'm just not going to waste my time.
• 43:26
  Like attaching my name like I'm, I'm a home team guy.
• 43:28
  I've got my Cowboys jersey on. Yeah, Tight I.
• 43:30
  Want to root for like I want a team to root for in politics.
• 43:34
  I'm I'm a rah rah guy. I want my guys in girls because
• 43:37
  ladies can be politicians too. Girls can play football.
• 43:39
  They can in the in the girl football.
• 43:42
  So it's I'm a rah, rah guy, but it's like, yo, like I'm just not
• 43:47
  going to like give any time or hope to a human being in the
• 43:50
  system. Well, and it sounds that's.
• 43:52
  Where I live. It sounds, however, and I'm not
• 43:54
  one of those people that's like, I'm going to go to the voting
• 43:55
  booth and I'm going to write in Jesus Christ.
• 43:57
  But like, that's what I think, one of the not dead.
• 44:00
  He's truly I'm not. No, but like, I think that's one
• 44:03
  of the great things about being a Christian is like, I don't
• 44:05
  have to rob, rob any of these people.
• 44:07
  I can literally just rob, rob the name of Christ.
• 44:09
  And like this idea that there's like a lesser of two evils and I
• 44:12
  have to align myself. Dude, kick rocks, pick up the
• 44:15
  rocks and eat them. I'm not doing that and I don't
• 44:17
  need to do that. And also like there, there is
• 44:20
  nobody that I fully agree with. So why would I lie and align
• 44:24
  myself with one of these people? And I, and I understand most
• 44:26
  people are like, well, that's true for anyone.
• 44:29
  Nobody perfectly, uh oh, nobody perfectly agrees with anybody.
• 44:32
  Then I don't think they should be forced or like even socially
• 44:35
  forced to act like you have to do this.
• 44:38
  Also, again, you're not changing anything like and, and, and I
• 44:42
  know that that's hard for some people and some people are like,
• 44:44
  oh, it's easy for you to say blah, blah, you're not doing.
• 44:48
  Anything Do you want to hear how little people in the government
• 44:50
  do? Real quick, let me say this very
• 44:52
  quickly. I don't want to sound like a
• 44:55
  real dour person or a real downer.
• 44:58
  I'm a very jovial person. I'm a very happy person, but a
• 45:02
  lot of people who will hear what I'm saying are like, wow, that
• 45:05
  sounds really pessimistic. No, I just don't find my hope
• 45:09
  and I don't find my joy in these things because why would I?
• 45:13
  Because they're literally the things of the world.
• 45:15
  Man sucks, but God is good. So I just want that to be
• 45:19
  abundant. To your point there, exactly,
• 45:20
  people probably hear this and they're like, oh, so they're
• 45:22
  like Debbie Downers. But it's also in the same
• 45:24
  breath, like I'm not going to dwell or waste my time being
• 45:27
  like, oh man, or government. So it's just like.
• 45:30
  I. I'm just not going to dedicate
• 45:33
  time to a lost cause. No, literally, like it's the
• 45:40
  first thing that the first thing that came to mind was like, oh,
• 45:43
  the ship's burning. But but it's not.
• 45:45
  What it is is that we're all in, like this big house, right?
• 45:49
  And the people that own the house are genuinely evil.
• 45:52
  Yeah, I can't do literally unless everybody just decides
• 45:56
  one day, which, which we won't. And that's why they do it.
• 45:59
  That's why they keep doing everything.
• 46:01
  Exactly. Because you're inside and you're
• 46:03
  safe and you're comfortable. And I'm not trying to sound
• 46:06
  however, but I'm just saying that's why nothing changes.
• 46:08
  Yeah, that's why the Epstein files came out and nothing
• 46:10
  happened. That's why we can know.
• 46:12
  Like I always bring it up whenever we're talking, like
• 46:14
  with your wife about politics. Like I knew the government was
• 46:16
  evil as soon as whenever I was younger.
• 46:18
  I mean, a multitude of things. But I learned about the Tuskegee
• 46:21
  experiment. And it's like you hear about
• 46:24
  less than 100 years ago, the government just experimenting on
• 46:27
  black people in the South. And then they're just like,
• 46:30
  sorry. And it's like, oh, oh, the and,
• 46:33
  and it's not. And I know some people will be
• 46:35
  like, oh, they did it 'cause they're, they're black.
• 46:37
  Yes, to a degree. But they did it because they
• 46:39
  knew they could and they did it to the people they knew they
• 46:42
  could. And things like the, the Epstein
• 46:46
  files and plenty of other things just show us that that's all of
• 46:49
  us. They can manipulate all of us.
• 46:52
  They can use and abuse all of us.
• 46:53
  And they do. And we don't do anything.
• 46:56
  So yeah, I don't know. But but yeah, the the house that
• 47:00
  we all live in is run by like some of the most people you can
• 47:04
  imagine. Literally.
• 47:05
  It's like the Tim Dillon bit of just like now more than ever you
• 47:11
  go into the voting booth, it's like, well, which pedophile do I
• 47:12
  want to? Yeah, well, this one, you know,
• 47:14
  has, you know, better education reform.
• 47:17
  I guess that's good for the kids.
• 47:19
  I don't know, like, yeah, just like.
• 47:20
  All right. But let me let me tell you this.
• 47:22
  So I I I went real. Quick and let me finish and I'm
• 47:25
  sorry 'cause I, I realized I went on a tangent just very
• 47:27
  quickly. The house is run by the most
• 47:29
  evil people you know, and the best that you can do is the best
• 47:32
  that you can do. Like that's all like, and that
• 47:35
  is why in the face of oh, everything is run by evil people
• 47:39
  and they don't care about me. They wouldn't piss on me if I
• 47:42
  was on fire, but I can still like literally they, they
• 47:46
  wouldn't, they would literally pee off to the side.
• 47:48
  They pee on each other 'cause they're weirdos.
• 47:50
  But the best that I can do is just like love my family, love
• 47:53
  my friends, love Christ, and especially in the positions that
• 47:57
  we're in, use the platform that I have to.
• 47:59
  That's also why I don't talk about a lot of politics on my
• 48:01
  platform 'cause it's like nothing would change, nothing
• 48:04
  would do any good. I'd rather use my platform to
• 48:06
  like, lead more people to Christ because then at least there's
• 48:08
  like an eternal difference. But all this, it doesn't do
• 48:11
  anything. So that's again to, to, to go
• 48:13
  back to, it's not all, just all negative and downer, all of like
• 48:17
  the house that we live in, the owners are evil, but there is
• 48:21
  land that the house is on. And the one that made that land
• 48:23
  and the one that made everything else is good.
• 48:26
  And you can live your life to to glorify him and to draw nearer
• 48:30
  to him. So the fact that the house is
• 48:32
  run by evil people doesn't change the fact that, like, life
• 48:36
  can still be good because they're not that powerful.
• 48:39
  They can end your life, but they can't, you know, if you're not
• 48:42
  the one that can kill your body but feel the fear, the one that
• 48:43
  can kill your soul. And he also loves us.
• 48:46
  So. Yeah.
• 48:47
  Go ahead. Thanks.
• 48:48
  You want to hear how little gets done even in the please, so I
• 48:52
  would. Love to I've.
• 48:53
  Told you about the the bachelor party I went with for my buddy
• 48:56
  who works for the government and all the other guys, all of those
• 48:58
  other groomsmen, Yeah, work for the government.
• 49:01
  We're out in DC. And one of the guys, I forget
• 49:04
  who he worked for, he worked for, I believe it was a senator
• 49:08
  for one of the states up in the Northwest, like Idaho or
• 49:12
  Montana. And so I was kind of just like
• 49:14
  picking his brain, like, yo, you're, you're not like second
• 49:17
  in line, but you're like pretty high up within this guy's like
• 49:19
  campaign or whatever. Like, and I remember him like
• 49:22
  kind of just telling me like, dude, not a lot gets done right.
• 49:26
  And I was like, what do you do all day, You know.
• 49:28
  But he was like, well, he's like, think about it.
• 49:29
  So my guy wants to get re elected and he's like, and
• 49:33
  that's, I want my guy to get re elected because I have a job, of
• 49:36
  course. And that's always priority #1 So
• 49:39
  he's like, so I believe Senator terms four years.
• 49:42
  He's like, we'll kind of do some stuff in the first two years.
• 49:45
  We'll, we'll be bipartisan because I feel like that's at
• 49:47
  the end of the day why our system was designed the way it
• 49:49
  is. It's like, hey, we can meet in
• 49:51
  the middle and, and have bipartisanship.
• 49:53
  Sure. He's like, so we'll work
• 49:55
  together in the first two years, but he's like, but really the
• 49:58
  last two years of the campaign is just focusing on getting
• 50:02
  reelected. If if we go and work with a
• 50:05
  Democrat, cuz he was Republican. If we go and work with a
• 50:08
  Democrat on anything bipartisan, it's gonna be held against us by
• 50:12
  the other Republicans trying to run.
• 50:14
  We can't do that. So it's like, so you literally
• 50:18
  like sits for, for 50%, probably more on the front half, even 50%
• 50:23
  of your term. You just kind of just like, hey,
• 50:25
  how can we keep this power, by the way?
• 50:26
  Literally do nothing, just constantly conniving nothing.
• 50:30
  There's never there's never a big enough pie for you to have
• 50:33
  your piece of Yeah, like it. It's an ever you're you're
• 50:36
  always a who is a it's not Polyphemus because that's the
• 50:39
  the giant, but who whoever is the guy That's like constantly
• 50:41
  rolling the rock up the hill. You.
• 50:43
  You're a giant. That is me.
• 50:45
  But he's not a giant, I don't think.
• 50:46
  But he's the guy who gave fire to the mortals in like, Greek
• 50:49
  mythology anyway. Sisyphus.
• 50:51
  Sisyphus. Yes, yes, yes.
• 50:52
  Oh, Sissy fuss. Oh, Sissy fuss.
• 50:54
  Hey Sissy, why are you fussing? Why is he fussing?
• 50:57
  He doesn't have it that bad. Just roll the rock dude.
• 50:59
  Just. Roll the rock, big man.
• 51:01
  Oh, these crows are pecking at. Me.
• 51:02
  Oh my gosh. Shut up.
• 51:04
  Yeah, dude, I have to sit in front of a computer.
• 51:06
  For hey, imagine limit, Yeah, dude, imagine doing this.
• 51:09
  Come on dude. Dude, I have to talk later while
• 51:11
  he opens Pokémon cards. I'm a grown man, come on.
• 51:14
  You have any idea? I had to drink this because I
• 51:16
  forgot my own drink. Sissy fuss if you're watching,
• 51:18
  we'd love to have you as a guest though.
• 51:20
  Hey, shout out to Lonnie sponsor us.
• 51:21
  No, no free ads. No shout out.
• 51:25
  Somebody sponsor us though. Shout out Lonnie in his
• 51:28
  wonderful floral shop here in Midlothian, TX.
• 51:31
  Woodsy Floral and Coffee Company.
• 51:33
  Woodsy Floral and Coffee company.
• 51:34
  Really sorry, Coffee company. Woodsy Floral and Coffee
• 51:36
  company. Yeah, okay, really sorry about
• 51:38
  that. Lonnie, I am mentally deficient.
• 51:41
  It has nothing to do with my. I love you and I thank you very
• 51:43
  much for this. Yeah.
• 51:44
  So. Yeah.
• 51:45
  Nothing gets done. Nothing gets done.
• 51:47
  And the stuff that does get done is typically, what, 1% of what
• 51:52
  was promised? I mean, that's my my dad.
• 51:54
  And it's very interesting to watch.
• 51:56
  My dad's like a 60 year old, you know, conservative.
• 51:59
  Let's put him in office. He's almost old enough.
• 52:01
  Well, he's a whippersnapper compared to a lot of them.
• 52:04
  But no, it's just like watching him more and more throughout the
• 52:06
  years. It's like, Oh yeah, nothing
• 52:08
  happens. Nothing gets done.
• 52:10
  Promises are made. And then like even if any of
• 52:12
  those promises come through, they also like go back on and
• 52:15
  recant the other 90%. So it doesn't matter.
• 52:19
  It doesn't change any of it. And also more, more and more,
• 52:21
  you realize, like the things that are like they're big
• 52:23
  moments don't change much whenever, whenever Trump signed
• 52:27
  that thing, which by the way, I'm all for keeping males and
• 52:31
  male sports and females and female sports, but he signed
• 52:33
  that. I know you heard me talking
• 52:36
  about all that, right? But whenever he signed that
• 52:39
  thing that was essentially making it like an official law
• 52:42
  or whatever to do that, it was like there's like 1000 trans
• 52:46
  athletes, which in the grand, which is a thousands a lot in
• 52:49
  the grand scheme. It's like, I mean, what .00
• 52:53
  whatever of a percent, but it's treated all the light is put on
• 52:57
  this. Meanwhile, how much later after
• 52:59
  that it's like, hey, by the way, we're going to war again.
• 53:01
  I know, I know we were like no new wars.
• 53:03
  We have like multiple new wars and it's like, so it's like the
• 53:07
  the no, but it's like the things that are made to seem like they
• 53:12
  matter, don't, and the things that do matter that they that
• 53:17
  they promise to do, they don't do like and and that's the
• 53:21
  thing. So, so maybe you know, we've,
• 53:22
  we've gone on now for 2030 minutes about how government
• 53:25
  sucks. Do we want to talk about our
• 53:27
  positions on specific things? Well.
• 53:28
  I, I think a good way to start that right is like, it feels
• 53:32
  like a reason why I feel like I'm kind of in the middle is
• 53:35
  like because of the portraits or the caricatures of each party at
• 53:40
  this point, because it's like, again, I'll go back to like the
• 53:45
  James Talarico and Ken Paxton, right?
• 53:47
  That's like the big Senate thing or whatever, Which by the way,
• 53:49
  one off. It's so funny in red states how
• 53:53
  easy it is as a Republican to like, get elected as long as
• 53:55
  you're not just an awful human being.
• 53:57
  Well, I mean, yeah, literally. Like, you literally just don't.
• 54:00
  Like, I'm pretty sure Ken Paxton Paxton's like, actively cheating
• 54:02
  on his wife and everyone knows about it.
• 54:04
  It's just like, all you have to do is just be kind of a good
• 54:07
  person and you get reelected. And like Republicans just make
• 54:09
  it so hard anyways. We could kill it.
• 54:11
  You want to get into. Politics.
• 54:12
  I saw sounds get into politics. Let's.
• 54:13
  Just give up all this stuff and get into politics.
• 54:16
  Hey, who would you guys vote for?
• 54:17
  What's up guys? We're going to get right back to
• 54:19

  Thank you again so much for supporting the pod.
• 54:35
  God bless. Real spill.
• 54:37
  Real spill if it if it was a bill and it was Josh Benson or
• 54:40
  Ben Kessler. For, let's say, governor of your
• 54:43
  state. Let's do a quick 10 second ad
• 54:46
  going against the other person. OK, go ahead.
• 54:48
  You know how they're like Ken Paxton.
• 54:50
  All right, Josh Benson's first girlfriend was 12 years old.
• 54:56
  You know how old Josh was? 35.
• 54:59
  Is that who you want to be your governor?
• 55:02
  Vote me Ben Kessler for Texas State.
• 55:06
  Go ahead, buddy. Clip that.
• 55:09
  We're going to. All right, go on.
• 55:10
  Go ahead. Ben Kessler.
• 55:16
  Why do you have the George W Bush face?
• 55:19
  Strategory. All right, go ahead, Go ahead,
• 55:21
  Go ahead. I won't interrupt.
• 55:22
  Go ahead. Ben Kessler has a radical policy
• 55:27
  that wants to put babies to work in coal mines.
• 55:30
  Every baby, the minute that they're born, straight to the
• 55:33
  mines. Straight to the mines.
• 55:36
  Also, Ben Kessler also had a 12 year old.
• 55:38
  Gold. No, you can't just do.
• 55:39
  That he also he dated a 12 year old when he was 35 too.
• 55:43
  He's a bad. Person.
• 55:44
  Hold on, I want to do another. He's also transgender.
• 55:46
  I want to vote for Josh. All right.
• 55:52
  Do you want a family man to run your state?
• 55:55
  Well, that's not Josh Benson because his wife is also his
• 55:58
  family pet. Josh Benson bangs dogs.
• 56:01
  Is that the kind of man you want to run your state?
• 56:05
  I don't think so. My wife is awesome and a woman
• 56:08
  and black. Vote me Ben Kessler for Texas
• 56:12
  State. That was good.
• 56:14
  You got, you got like, what's funny is that's how the ads are.
• 56:17
  See, here's the thing. I'm such an evil person.
• 56:19
  Genuinely, I would go solo. I would, I would lie
• 56:23
  immediately. Like I literally I'd be like
• 56:25
  Josh Benson smokes crack. Is that who you want to run your
• 56:28
  stick like? And you'd be like, I've never
• 56:30
  even done that. Why were you at this party on
• 56:32
  July 3rd, 19th, you know. Because it was the day before
• 56:35
  July 4th. They had crack at that party.
• 56:38
  No, they had snacks at that party.
• 56:40
  You, Josh Benson, got cracked at that party?
• 56:42
  No. All right.
• 56:45
  By my loving wife. You got cracked.
• 56:48
  Isn't that a? Do you want a governor that gets
• 56:50
  pegged? Josh Benson.
• 56:53
  Josh Benson? Oh my gosh, we're never getting
• 56:56
  a Christian sponsor. You know that.
• 56:58
  Right, we're not getting. Any sponsors never so become a
• 57:01
  member at joshandthegiant.com. You can join for his low it.
• 57:06
  Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
• 57:07
  Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Josh on thegiant.com Why'd you
• 57:11
  lean back? Matt?
• 57:13
  Josh, Matt goes not me. Uh oh.
• 57:16
  Josh on thegiant.com become a member for as low as a dollar a
• 57:19
  month. So funny, we can, we can say
• 57:24
  like politicians say, we're the only grassroots podcast out
• 57:28
  there. We're we're funded by our
• 57:30
  members. We haven't taken any money from
• 57:32
  super PACs or Israel. Never lobbyists.
• 57:35
  We haven't taken, we kind of get rid of that mug because I get, I
• 57:38
  get so. Many.
• 57:39
  It's real. It's.
• 57:40
  So crazy. The fact that people.
• 57:42
  Were like oh unfollowed dude please do please do ask me one
• 57:48
  time about Israel. I love him.
• 57:51
  I was just kidding. I'm just kidding.
• 57:53
  I'm just kidding. Any who.
• 57:54
  What were we even the? Caricatures of like Republicans
• 57:57
  and Democrats like the thing that makes it difficult as I
• 58:01
  feel like being remotely normal is like Republicans have gone
• 58:06
  down like the, you know, I'm a manly man and women need to
• 58:09
  never work again. And we're going to repeal their
• 58:11
  their right to vote. And then Democrats, I'm going to
• 58:14
  say it. I'm going to say it.
• 58:16
  We can bleep this later if we need to.
• 58:18
  Just kind of kind of little gay now.
• 58:20
  Well, yeah, like it's just like. Even more so.
• 58:23
  Like it's just like super like, oh, like, you know, like hand to
• 58:28
  broke type stuff. And it's just like.
• 58:30
  So you know what's even funnier is like the Uber masculine
• 58:32
  progressives who are like it, It feels like whenever you see a, a
• 58:36
  a black Mormon apologist and you're like, how would you make
• 58:38
  him? How much did you pay?
• 58:39
  Did they like hire you? Like are you an actor?
• 58:42
  It's the same for whenever you see like the progressive content
• 58:45
  creators who are like, I can deadlift 900 lbs and I'm voting
• 58:50
  for James Talarico and you're like, OK, I feel.
• 58:52
  Like but like you see what they're.
• 58:53
  You're trying too hard. Yeah.
• 58:54
  They're like, you're 100%. You're trying to appeal to a
• 58:56
  demographic who otherwise would be like, get out of your face.
• 58:59
  Like, like, I don't, you know what I mean?
• 59:01
  So I said fat. Just make that clear.
• 59:05
  And you're on Olympic now. That's kind of messed up.
• 59:06
  OK, Matt, so we were talking earlier about, you know, I
• 59:09
  mentioned about my thoughts on like kind of essentially
• 59:11
  universal healthcare. Yeah.
• 59:12
  Where would you land on something like that?
• 59:16
  See, I feel like if it's like laid out and I can see because
• 59:21
  it feels like there, there are things that get like rolled out
• 59:24
  by the government. That's like, what's the plan
• 59:26
  here? Right?
• 59:26
  I I would want to know how it's operating, I guess, but I don't
• 59:30
  know, like I feel like it's a good thing.
• 59:32
  Right, like it. It feels like a difficult thing
• 59:34
  to fight back again. But there's also, I think, ways
• 59:36
  that it could be enacted to where it's like, oh, this is
• 59:38
  horrible for. Everybody.
• 59:39
  Well, that's the thing. I feel like just like with
• 59:40
  everything else. And again, this goes back to the
• 59:42
  the the two party system, everything has to be opposed to
• 59:45
  each other. Is the people on the right,
• 59:47
  whenever they hear about the universal healthcare or, or
• 59:50
  something akin to that, Yeah, they're like, well, can you
• 59:52
  really trust it? And it's like, well, obviously
• 59:54
  we're all being idealistic. Yeah.
• 59:55
  I can't trust the government to do anything.
• 59:57
  But if you're going to tell me like, hey, maybe we'll make it
• 1:00:00
  to where poor people don't have to, like, die in the street.
• 1:00:03
  Or like, or yeah, people don't have to.
• 1:00:05
  A lot of people aren't literally like pushed to the verge, if not
• 1:00:08
  going over the edge of taking their own life because they just
• 1:00:11
  amass so much debt because they're sick and they can't
• 1:00:15
  literally like kind of stuff. It's like, OK, well, you know, I
• 1:00:17
  hope that that would work. So.
• 1:00:19
  So would your mindset kind of be like mine then?
• 1:00:21
  Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah, where it's like, yeah, why
• 1:00:23
  wouldn't I want that? Cause also my money is going
• 1:00:26
  towards 1000 other things that I don't have a say in which is
• 1:00:29
  which is something I would love if every year we got like a
• 1:00:33
  freaking like checklist. Just give me a bill like, hey,
• 1:00:35
  what percentage? What do you go to?
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, this goes the bill. This goes to firemen, This goes
• 1:00:39
  to the police officers. Sick.
• 1:00:41
  Yeah, that'd be awesome. Maybe that, maybe that'd be a
• 1:00:44
  good thing. How do you feel about the cops?
• 1:00:46
  Iraq, I mean a cab yo. So what's funny is watching
• 1:00:52
  because I, I grew up in, you know, kind of a more.
• 1:00:57
  Backwards. Yeah, that yeah, little
• 1:00:59
  backwards, especially like some of my family for sure.
• 1:01:02
  So growing up in like the early 2000s, like my family was like
• 1:01:06
  kind of anti cop to an extent. Like my uncle was a cop.
• 1:01:08
  He was a good. Cop well that that's but they.
• 1:01:10
  Were like, you know, we don't really trust him, you know, but
• 1:01:12
  it was because like my, my other uncle just kept getting like
• 1:01:15
  DUI's. Well, that's the that's a very
• 1:01:17
  like redneck hillbilly. And I'm not saying that like I
• 1:01:19
  come from that too, where it's like, yeah, I think a lot of
• 1:01:22
  people have a natural inbuilt thing of like, I remember one
• 1:01:24
  time I was driving around with a buddy and this kind of shows
• 1:01:27
  like, I guess you could say privilege to a degree.
• 1:01:29
  We're driving around and we weren't even like doing
• 1:01:31
  anything. And he saw like a cop car and a
• 1:01:33
  couple of white guys and he sees a cop car and he's like, and I
• 1:01:36
  was like, dude, it's not like the cops are like looking for a
• 1:01:38
  reason. Well, no, I told, I literally
• 1:01:40
  said I was like, it's not like they're like looking for a
• 1:01:41
  reason to pull you over. And he goes, that's exactly what
• 1:01:43
  they're doing. And I was like, all right, well,
• 1:01:46
  I think to a degree that that is true.
• 1:01:49
  That is the case. But also I think we need a
• 1:01:52
  police force because otherwise you have private you guys.
• 1:01:56
  Cities that are like, like, kind of taking like pulling back on
• 1:01:59
  funding the police and it's like a disaster.
• 1:02:01
  Like, what was it San Francisco? Like had something enacted to
• 1:02:04
  where like cops wouldn't pursue like thefts if the value was
• 1:02:08
  under like $900? That was in multiple cities.
• 1:02:11
  Is that multiple? Well, that's why you saw videos
• 1:02:12
  of people, like, robbing CBS's and, like, man, and, like,
• 1:02:16
  brutal videos of store employees trying to stop them and just
• 1:02:19
  getting stomped out because the people who are willing to just,
• 1:02:23
  like, steal, I don't know, $900 worth with the baby formula.
• 1:02:28
  Who would have thought? They're also OK with just, like,
• 1:02:30
  beating the hell out of some young kid, Yeah.
• 1:02:32
  Who's just trying to keep their job.
• 1:02:34
  You saw that coming. Yeah, It's insane.
• 1:02:36
  And then you saw, which unfortunately, the downstream
• 1:02:40
  effect of, like, a lot of these kinds of policies is a lot of
• 1:02:44
  stores, like, especially like, even vaguely nicer stores
• 1:02:47
  pulling out of like, rougher areas where they were providing
• 1:02:52
  like, a good service. But hey, if the cops literally
• 1:02:54
  won't come whenever, we just keep getting robbed.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, it was, it was funny on
• 1:03:00
  the point of cops though, family was like kind of whatever about
• 1:03:03
  cops. And then the the back, the blue
• 1:03:05
  stuff started happening. We love our cops and they're
• 1:03:08
  whatever. And so it's like that that's
• 1:03:11
  that was a fun dynamic. But yeah, I feel like cops are
• 1:03:12
  like, needed, but I feel like there were obviously bad cops,
• 1:03:17
  right? But I mean cops.
• 1:03:18
  Yeah, there's incredible cops and there's bad cops just like,
• 1:03:21
  just like everybody else. And I do understand the
• 1:03:24
  difference of like, yeah, but a bad cop is still like a person
• 1:03:27
  with a gun. And yeah, 100%, that's terrible.
• 1:03:30
  In Texas, everyone's a person with.
• 1:03:32
  God, he's got a firearm. So, but yeah, but I mean, again,
• 1:03:35
  what is the, what's the opposite?
• 1:03:37
  If all of a sudden we don't have cops?
• 1:03:40
  Well, it's like I, I don't even know if necessarily that, but
• 1:03:42
  it's just like, if we don't have cops, then what am I supposed to
• 1:03:45
  do? Who do I call?
• 1:03:47
  And that's why I mentioned it. And, and this is one of the
• 1:03:49
  things that like gives me pause even with like the anarchist
• 1:03:52
  movement, cause a lot of anarchists are like, yeah, no
• 1:03:54
  cops. Because the whole thing is meant
• 1:03:56
  to be like no big government, no big government systems.
• 1:03:59
  So everything is small. Everything is like you literally
• 1:04:02
  have to, it boils down to like almost like a monthly service
• 1:04:07
  you have like with Amazon, you would have with a private
• 1:04:09
  military service who you would call if and you would go to JC
• 1:04:13
  Penney and JC Penney would have their own private military.
• 1:04:15
  And it's like there's a world where I could see that being
• 1:04:18
  better, I guess. But also, I don't know, I kind
• 1:04:23
  of like the. But also but then poor people
• 1:04:24
  get stomped out again. 100% yeah.
• 1:04:27
  There's no system where the where the little guy, like where
• 1:04:31
  the person with the least benefits.
• 1:04:33
  Yeah, that's The thing is like even whenever you look at these
• 1:04:35
  systems that are meant to be like sharing the wealth and
• 1:04:38
  doing all, it's like it's always the lowest among us.
• 1:04:42
  And and I don't mean like in value, but in like fiscal
• 1:04:46
  ability who just who just are thrown out to the wind going
• 1:04:50
  abortion. Yeah, but we've talked about
• 1:04:52
  abortion. We have talked about it.
• 1:04:53
  We're both fairly. I mean I, I, I teeter depending
• 1:04:56
  on the day, whether I call myself pro-life or anti
• 1:04:58
  abortion. I feel like one thing that a
• 1:05:01
  caveat that I would like to add, because I was talking with Cindy
• 1:05:03
  about this the other night is like, like if I was in office,
• 1:05:05
  like if I'm president, like anti abortion, we're defunding
• 1:05:09
  planned Parenthoods and all that.
• 1:05:11
  But I think in the same breath, it's also like, huh, I do want
• 1:05:16
  like you have to ask the question, why do women feel like
• 1:05:19
  they need to get an abortion? Like I feel like they're like
• 1:05:21
  sinus, like they're evil women who like, you know, this is just
• 1:05:25
  going to ruin my life. And but I feel like there's also
• 1:05:28
  cases of just like I don't have the money, this is going to be
• 1:05:31
  hard. The guy that I'm pregnant with
• 1:05:32
  won't find out whatever. And so it's also, I think if if
• 1:05:35
  the government's going to take away something that's been here.
• 1:05:39
  You can't just do that. And also I think there there,
• 1:05:41
  hey, let's incentivize better tax, tax write offs for
• 1:05:46
  children. Let's make cheaper maybe like
• 1:05:48
  state sponsored. Well, I think that's here.
• 1:05:50
  I think that's where you where you hear the term a lot, where
• 1:05:52
  people talk about like a social safety net.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah. Where it's like having things
• 1:05:56
  put in place. And again, I do understand
• 1:05:58
  because there are people listening to this right now that
• 1:06:00
  are like, you guys are so stupid.
• 1:06:02
  That would never work. And it's like, I understand why
• 1:06:04
  it wouldn't work right now. We are stupid.
• 1:06:06
  We are taught we are stupid. You heard me.
• 1:06:08
  You heard me barely pass the citizenship test.
• 1:06:11
  And I've lived here. Marijuana.
• 1:06:11
  You made an 80? Thanks man, pretty solid.
• 1:06:15
  But no, it's like we're talking about like an idealistic world.
• 1:06:18
  And an idealistic world is where women never, not, never.
• 1:06:24
  Never do nothing. But the women who genuinely do
• 1:06:26
  that because they feel like they don't have any other choice,
• 1:06:30
  that there would be enough surrounding them to where they
• 1:06:33
  would never feel like that. And of course, that's too
• 1:06:36
  idealistic. And of course, that's almost
• 1:06:37
  like utopian in a manner of speaking.
• 1:06:40
  But there's always going to be abortion.
• 1:06:42
  There's always going to be people that for one reason or
• 1:06:44
  another go whatever route to like end the life of, of the
• 1:06:49
  child of the child growing in them, right.
• 1:06:52
  But I want that to be as little as possible.
• 1:06:54
  So yes, I I totally. Agree.
• 1:06:56
  Make it as little as possible. A lot of.
• 1:06:57
  People just stop at being like, well, you get rid of abortion
• 1:07:00
  and it's like, right. But you do.
• 1:07:02
  Cause again, it's, it's the same thing that people always point
• 1:07:04
  out. People are going to get
• 1:07:05
  abortions. So what do you want?
• 1:07:08
  You want to provide a a a healthier alternative?
• 1:07:12
  You want to revamp the and again, going back and yes, I
• 1:07:15
  know all the stuff I said before about you can't do any of that
• 1:07:17
  because the whole system's. Broke.
• 1:07:18
  Well, there's well, I've got to get reelected, Ben.
• 1:07:20
  I can't, I can't enact policies for single mothers, right?
• 1:07:24
  Now, but you want to revamp the. And Israel's got me on the line
• 1:07:27
  too. I got to, I got to do something
• 1:07:29
  for them, you know? The men in the little hats.
• 1:07:31
  But why do you keep looking at that?
• 1:07:33
  Is there somebody out there? It's like a dark figure.
• 1:07:36
  Whatever. He always comes around.
• 1:07:38
  He's 10 feet tall. He always.
• 1:07:39
  What time is it? Oh yeah, He comes around at this
• 1:07:41
  time, Mr. Sandman. Yeah, it's when you take the
• 1:07:44
  Benadryl, it's just the hat guy comes.
• 1:07:46
  To sea yeah the hat man yeah this him, but no yeah man like
• 1:07:52
  yeah abortion, I'm anti it but also with that you have to put
• 1:07:56
  other things in place otherwise you just then you just have a
• 1:08:00
  bunch of illegal abortions happening and a lot of both
• 1:08:03
  children and women losing their lives yeah.
• 1:08:06
  What are some other topics? Like immigration.
• 1:08:11
  There you go. There you go.
• 1:08:13
  Really real easy softball this. I'm going to make it not easy
• 1:08:18
  because I feel like it depends for sure.
• 1:08:22
  It's like, dude, when I think of like the people that come to
• 1:08:28
  America in like, what's the word like assimilates or like work
• 1:08:31
  hard and and and I don't know, become a part of the American.
• 1:08:35
  Culture. I want good people in America.
• 1:08:37
  Well, I don't care what you look like.
• 1:08:39
  I don't care where you're from. And you know what?
• 1:08:41
  Maybe how about this? Me and my dad actually had a
• 1:08:43
  hole. We have we have very interesting
• 1:08:44
  conversations sometimes. But what if you took a poll?
• 1:08:48
  If you somehow were able to look at every single person in
• 1:08:50
  America, I don't care how they got here.
• 1:08:53
  Are you like generally a good guy?
• 1:08:55
  Generally a good gal? And if you're I don't care the
• 1:08:58
  color of your skin, I don't care your religion.
• 1:09:00
  I don't care what? Genuinely, Yeah.
• 1:09:02
  Are you generally a good guy? Cool if you're not.
• 1:09:04
  If you're not. Getting them out of here.
• 1:09:07
  Exactly. My family's been here, don't
• 1:09:08
  care. And I'm not saying that about
• 1:09:09
  like people who don't look like me.
• 1:09:10
  I'm saying that also about people that look like, yeah,
• 1:09:12
  'cause there are people that look like Canada that suck.
• 1:09:15
  Send them to wherever, find their ancestors, send them back
• 1:09:18
  there. See, that's the issue.
• 1:09:20
  We need to get ice on just everybody.
• 1:09:23
  See, that's the thing. People are like, oh, what do you
• 1:09:24
  think about immigrants? Hey, man, what do I think about
• 1:09:27
  residents? How about that?
• 1:09:29
  If I'm king, If I'm king, let's optimize the.
• 1:09:33
  We're going to 1 by 1. What do you do?
• 1:09:35
  Yeah, hey, what would other? I'm going to ask the five
• 1:09:38
  closest people in your life, depending on what they say about
• 1:09:41
  you, 'cause we'll see where you're living today.
• 1:09:43
  You haven't paid anything in taxes and you're on welfare and
• 1:09:48
  you're getting this from the government and that and you're
• 1:09:50
  stealing this. You're gone.
• 1:09:52
  Yeah, that is a good, that is a good balance, OK.
• 1:09:54
  You get what from the government and you're stealing.
• 1:09:57
  Doesn't look so good for you. Sending you to Cuba.
• 1:09:59
  Yeah, no. Just get rid of them because
• 1:10:03
  then they're prisoners. They cost.
• 1:10:04
  I don't. Want I don't want prisoners.
• 1:10:05
  I want prisoners. That's another thing we can
• 1:10:07
  definitely talk about. Well, hold up.
• 1:10:08
  I want to hear about No, no, no. Real quick, what what?
• 1:10:12
  What are your views on immigrants?
• 1:10:14
  I mean, I feel like it's just that like, I feel like it's the
• 1:10:17
  the again idea it's it's impossible to enact, I guess,
• 1:10:21
  but the idea of like, Hey, people that are going to be
• 1:10:23
  productive and like assimilate while while holding to like
• 1:10:26
  their culture and values. Good guys, good women come on in
• 1:10:29
  100% and people that don't do anything and make it worse.
• 1:10:34
  You're going back home and residents, you're going to camp.
• 1:10:37
  Are you a Leech? Exactly.
• 1:10:40
  Why? I don't care what you look like.
• 1:10:42
  Yeah, Like, I know some people will be like, oh, what about
• 1:10:44
  this group of people? Are they doing good things?
• 1:10:47
  Like I want to live in a place where whatever.
• 1:10:50
  Anyway. And again, I know all this
• 1:10:51
  sounds ridiculous. We're talking about a world
• 1:10:54
  where I'm king. You don't want that because it
• 1:10:57
  probably means a lot of you can't do a lot of things and
• 1:10:59
  probably don't live here. Has there ever been a bald king?
• 1:11:03
  Like would the crown look cool on a bald head or would it be
• 1:11:05
  like it would look cool? Look at look at Josh zoom in and
• 1:11:10
  will not zoom in, but like if you're watching it look at
• 1:11:12
  josh's tired eyes. He's so tired, you guys, it's
• 1:11:15
  it's late. It's late for Joshy Poo.
• 1:11:17
  I'm. Getting.
• 1:11:17
  Sweepy, I'm getting sleepy. So yeah, politics.
• 1:11:25
  Anyway, no, but that I did want to talk about.
• 1:11:26
  One more thing. Go ahead.
• 1:11:27
  What are your thoughts on the death penalty?
• 1:11:29
  Oh, love it, love it. Live left, love.
• 1:11:31
  Here's the only thing is like, 'cause there was a while, there
• 1:11:34
  were me, me and the wife and me and my dad were watching, you
• 1:11:38
  know, that those strings of documentaries where it's like
• 1:11:41
  he's been on the death penalty line for 30 years.
• 1:11:44
  Turns out he didn't do it. And it's like, yeah, it's got to
• 1:11:49
  be. Like yo, we like we caught you
• 1:11:52
  in 4K. We know you did.
• 1:11:54
  This we know for sure. You did this dude that.
• 1:11:56
  Day we saw you steal the candy bar.
• 1:11:58
  With your dad, right, right, right.
• 1:12:01
  You evaded your tags for what? Two months.
• 1:12:04
  Two months. Dead.
• 1:12:06
  Firing No, no, but like legitimately when you hear
• 1:12:09
  someone like the crazier crimes that are like blatantly sinister
• 1:12:14
  and evil, it's like, yeah, you, I, I don't want to if if we
• 1:12:18
  don't kill you now someone in prison is going.
• 1:12:19
  To well, I think the worst somebody can, somebody could
• 1:12:21
  Google this, not you, Matt, but somebody watching this later.
• 1:12:24
  I think the most prolific serial killer in American history,
• 1:12:27
  First off, was a black man, which is very interesting.
• 1:12:31
  And I think he's still alive and has been on death row for like,
• 1:12:35
  a long time. There's no good.
• 1:12:37
  And also apparently a very kind man because especially at this
• 1:12:40
  point, he's like a sweet old man in prison.
• 1:12:42
  Yeah, Yeah. There's no reason at all for him
• 1:12:46
  to be alive. And again, I'm not, I'm not
• 1:12:49
  saying this necessarily even as a Christian.
• 1:12:50
  I'm just saying this again as king, King of the United States.
• 1:12:54
  Bye, bye. Hey, you were, oh, you were
• 1:12:56
  watching Kitty bow. All right, next one, we're going
• 1:13:00
  to go through a lot of bullets, but eventually we'll run out of
• 1:13:02
  people. Will get.
• 1:13:03
  Better things will get better. That's that's the other thing is
• 1:13:07
  people are like the the prison system is so bad.
• 1:13:09
  It's like, yeah, it could be, could just be death.
• 1:13:11
  Too many, too many. There is too many.
• 1:13:14
  Also, and I'm going to bring this as a, as just a random
• 1:13:17
  final thing, I would bring back a lot of asylums because I think
• 1:13:21
  whenever you track and you see, whenever the US government
• 1:13:24
  closed down the bulk of the mental asylums in this country,
• 1:13:27
  you saw a huge increase in a lot of homeless people.
• 1:13:30
  And you saw a huge, which I'm not, I'm not like saying
• 1:13:32
  homeless people are evil or whatever, but there's a lot of
• 1:13:35
  people, they're evil. There's a lot of people on the
• 1:13:37
  streets who need care and they don't have it.
• 1:13:40
  Not even necessarily mental care.
• 1:13:41
  That goes back to the the universal healthcare thing, but
• 1:13:44
  if there were well maintained mental asylums I think the
• 1:13:49
  country would be in a better position.
• 1:13:51
  Whenever we capture a guy that's got about two terabytes worth
• 1:13:57
  and we just give them the death penalty, yeah, then we have more
• 1:14:00
  taxpayer dollars to fund asylums for people that are actually
• 1:14:03
  just like, need help? Amen.
• 1:14:04
  What if? Amen brother.
• 1:14:06
  Do you guys want us to? I would also like to have an
• 1:14:08
  ASMR episode. We got to get the illegals out
• 1:14:12
  in here, we got to send them back.
• 1:14:14
  Oh my, like that over combined Republican ASMR?
• 1:14:18
  Do you want to be? Do you want to be the Democrat
• 1:14:19
  or do you want to? Be the I'll be the Democrat.
• 1:14:22
  We got a eyes on black trans. He wants.
• 1:14:27
  He wants a lot of trans athletes.
• 1:14:30
  He wants them in the bathroom. Jesus Christ was a socialist.
• 1:14:36
  We got to send them. We got to take all the trans
• 1:14:38
  people and put them in a caravan, send them down to to
• 1:14:41
  Guatemala. We got to take all this people
• 1:14:45
  and make them trans. Donald Trump, that's the new
• 1:14:48
  person. Donald Trump is anointed by God.
• 1:14:51
  Donald Trump Trump is, is gay. Donald Trump is not gay.
• 1:14:57
  That's not true. You know how like on TikTok they

• 1:15:18
  Yes, because IG he wears he wears another man's name on his

  You'll like football. You'll vote for the Republicans,
• 1:15:28

• 1:15:30
  They have to more than £200 but. If you like football in a

• 1:15:40

• 1:15:44

• 1:15:48
  part. This is my favorite.
• 1:16:01
  That's my favorite. I love.
• 1:16:05
  Oh my gosh, this episodes are going for so long.
• 1:16:06
  The entire episode, it's going to be at this.
• 1:16:08
  Part. Yup, Yup.
• 1:16:12
  Oh man. Dude, that's Oh my gosh, that
• 1:16:15
  was great. Hey man, can we?
• 1:16:16
  RIP this back. We can 100% RIP this back.
• 1:16:18
  You got a story? Yeah, I do have a story.
• 1:16:20
  I do have a story. So I used to work at A at a
• 1:16:24
  before and after school Christian daycare.
• 1:16:27
  At one point I was a teacher. And then eventually I
• 1:16:29
  essentially became like the vice principal anyway, doesn't
• 1:16:33
  matter. While I was a teacher there one
• 1:16:35
  morning, because again, before and after school, 1 morning, we
• 1:16:38
  were getting the kids together and we were about to release.
• 1:16:41
  We were about to release all the children.
• 1:16:43
  And as we were doing so, a wonderful woman who was a little
• 1:16:47
  bit off, I'm going to call her Miss Rachel.
• 1:16:51
  Miss Rachel. She grabs the microphone and
• 1:16:56
  just unprompted, she goes, hey, guys, just want you to know
• 1:17:00
  whenever your teachers tell you about dinosaurs, those are all
• 1:17:04
  lies and they never existed. And then she put the microphone
• 1:17:08
  down and walked away. And the rest of us teachers were
• 1:17:10
  like, what are we supposed to do with that?
• 1:17:14
  How are you gonna? Well, did you pull nothing?
• 1:17:16
  That pack sucks, dude. That's a garbage pack.
• 1:17:19
  She did that, you know. God bless Miss Rachel.
• 1:17:22
  She was a middle-aged woman going through a divorce.
• 1:17:26
  She had a lot going on. Her ex for.
• 1:17:28
  Sure likes dinosaurs 100%. He was probably a
• 1:17:31
  paleontologist. And she was like, it's all fake
• 1:17:34
  and a little gay, but what are you going to do?
• 1:17:37
  And that was, you know, I had, I had, I was a teacher over the
• 1:17:41
  2nd and 3rd graders. She went up there and said that
• 1:17:44
  and they looked at me and I was like, I was like, just which we
• 1:17:48
  could talk. You don't believe dinosaurs
• 1:17:49
  existed, right? You think dinosaurs are fake?
• 1:17:52
  Are you being funny or are you being for real?
• 1:17:54
  Well, you, you have some certain thoughts about dinosaurs, right?
• 1:17:57
  Genuinely. I think dinosaurs existed.
• 1:18:01
  Public school. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:18:03
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 1:18:05
  But like, I, it, it goes back to, I think first like the new
• 1:18:08
  Earth, old Earth conversation, which I feel like I've heard
• 1:18:12
  better cases now for like new Earth, which I feel like it
• 1:18:16
  completely destroys dinosaur arguments.
• 1:18:17
  But I'm still older and so it's tough to be like, hey, all these
• 1:18:23
  fossils. I'm not saying that they had to
• 1:18:24
  look like that, but like, I don't think Satan put them there
• 1:18:27
  to confuse us like some Christians may, may say, have
• 1:18:31
  you heard that before? Like people be like Satan.
• 1:18:33
  Put the bones in the ground. I think I've heard that from
• 1:18:35
  you, Like making fun of those people.
• 1:18:37
  Not like, you know, espousing that, but yeah.
• 1:18:40
  So I I'm pro dinosaur. Back to the politics.
• 1:18:44
  Frankly, they they probably existed and they were very
• 1:18:48
  sweet. The Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 1:18:49
  Man, wouldn't it be great if the government wasn't genuinely
• 1:18:52
  satanic pedophiles and they were just making like Jurassic Park
• 1:18:55
  and they're like, we've been taking, I can't do a Trump we've
• 1:18:59
  been taking. Do a joke.
• 1:19:04
  Hey, Slick. Spinosaurus.
• 1:19:08
  Hey, Jack, we've been. Taking what?
• 1:19:09
  What? What?
• 1:19:10
  Joe Spinosaurus made a Spinosaurus.
• 1:19:14
  OK, well, he's off his route. No, we actually have.
• 1:19:15
  We actually have been making. We made a Spinosaurus.
• 1:19:18
  It's on an island. It's a Velociraptor.
• 1:19:22
  It's a velocifinosaurus. Why?
• 1:19:24
  It's it? So we actually took a
• 1:19:26
  Velociraptor and a Spinosaurus and we.
• 1:19:27
  Sleepy Joe can't even say the word dinosaur.
• 1:19:30
  I can say the word dinosaur three times in a row.
• 1:19:32
  Dinosaur, dinosaur, dinosaur. I brought it Sleepy Joe.
• 1:19:35
  He's actually, it's actually in the back.
• 1:19:37
  I've seen his wife, she looks like a dinosaur.
• 1:19:39
  It's very sad, frankly. That's something he would say
• 1:19:42
  You. No, but it that would be way
• 1:19:46
  cooler. That would be.
• 1:19:47
  It's always like, I wish our government was evil, like Lex
• 1:19:50
  Luthor, not like, you know what I mean?
• 1:19:53
  Like super villain. Yeah, They're like, we're going
• 1:19:56
  to destroy the moon. That'd be way cooler than like,
• 1:19:58
  we're like touching kids and eating and then it's like.
• 1:20:01
  Yeah. Oh my gosh.
• 1:20:03
  I'd rather you touch the moon than touch kids.
• 1:20:04
  Literally blow the moon up. Couldn't care less.
• 1:20:07
  I don't care. Oh.
• 1:20:07
  I mean that would that would kill us.
• 1:20:09
  It wouldn't kill us. How would it kill us 'cause
• 1:20:12
  doesn't the the moon regulates according to Globe?
• 1:20:16
  Matt, can you look this up? If we if the moon got blown up,
• 1:20:18
  would we? Yeah, ask Google AI.
• 1:20:21
  Hey, what would happen if someone like blew up the moon?
• 1:20:24
  We're gonna get the cops are gonna come to our house.
• 1:20:26
  What are you doing? You guys were talking about
• 1:20:27
  Israel and blowing up the moon. Oh, Cop ASMR. OK, Get on the

  Well, we I. Think.
• 1:21:49
  They ask you how you are, you just have to say that you're
• 1:21:51
  fine when you're not really fine, but you just can't get
• 1:21:53
  into it because they would never understand.
• 1:21:55
  I'm concerned you don't. Need to be.
• 1:21:57
  Concerned. Is the chair actually broken?
• 1:22:02
  Oh, I'm. Here.
• 1:22:03
  Matt step in guys. This is Matt while Ben's kind of
• 1:22:08
  working some stuff out on the floor.
• 1:22:10
  Well, this is how I planned it actually the whole time.
• 1:22:12
  Did you poison Ben? Anyway, no comment.
• 1:22:17
  Yeah. Cool, Matt.
• 1:22:20
  So what have you got for us? I think we should deport
• 1:22:25
  everyone. So just like empty land, like
• 1:22:29
  you know, once. You get back to the dictating.
• 1:22:34
  You're a Dick Cheney for the king.
• 1:22:36
  King Ben's Dick Cheney. I will shoot you in the chest,
• 1:22:40
  OK? Didn't he do that to somebody?
• 1:22:42
  He was like. Oh yeah, Didn't Dick Cheney, he
• 1:22:44
  did shoot somebody. He did shot him.
• 1:22:45
  In the face, I think, and. Then he was I thought it was the
• 1:22:47
  chest and. He was like, oh whoops, sorry.
• 1:22:49
  I thought he was like. But didn't the person live?
• 1:22:51
  Or did they? Yeah, he lived.
• 1:22:53
  Yeah, that's wild. We should have had him on the
• 1:22:55
  pod, not Dick Cheney. Oh, he's dead.
• 1:22:57
  The. Guy who?
• 1:22:58
  The guy who? Is Dick Cheney dead?
• 1:22:59
  I think Dick Cheney's dead. Oh yeah.
