  Testecleese: Hello, and welcome to Episode 332 of the Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
• 0:42
  Brian McFadden: And I'm Brian.
• 0:44
  Testecleese: Not just two guys drinking some beers, talking about what's going on.
• 0:47
  Testecleese: And I was just thinking about it, dude,
• 0:51
  Testecleese: how we got this Google Doc, and we have all these articles in here, and we got it, like, all in order and everything. Then I compared it to how we started out doing this on your back porch with a.
• 1:00
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:01
  Testecleese: We would get drunk watching UFC fights, talk about random shit.
• 1:05
  Testecleese: And then we had a pencil and paper, we wrote down the stuff we had heard about in the news in the week.
• 1:10
  Brian McFadden: Yep, yep, we got a little bit more sophisticated.
• 1:15
  Testecleese: And we're still making just as much money!
• 1:18
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, unfortunately.
• 1:21
  Testecleese: Well, anyway… Along the lines of, follow-up stuff.
• 1:28
  Testecleese: Sorry, I just hit that pipe twice.
• 1:31
  Testecleese: When you were gone, and it just hit me right in the face all of a sudden. Don't you love when that happens?
• 1:36
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:38
  Testecleese: Blue Origin.
• 1:40
  Testecleese: they… That… is that the… Was that the same one that landed? Was that Elon Musk's company?
• 1:48
  Testecleese: That's basic.
• 1:49
  Brian McFadden: That's Bezos coming Blue Origins.
• 1:52
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:53
  Brian McFadden: That's why they're putting up the Amazon satellites.
• 1:56
  Testecleese: Well, apparently not, because it freakin' fell out of orbit.
• 2:02
  Brian McFadden: And they tried to downplay it by saying it was a mishap, and
• 2:06
  Brian McFadden: The FAA didn't like how they classified it, and they want a lot more information.
• 2:12
  Testecleese: Well, the big deal with this is that you have to reuse the.
• 2:17
  Brian McFadden: They reused the booster rockets on the, on it.
• 2:21
  Testecleese: Yeah, and they're like, oh yeah, it's awesome, it worked. It's like, but they didn't get this satellite in orbit properly.
• 2:27
  Brian McFadden: No, and it burned up almost instantly.
• 2:29
  Testecleese: Yes, yes!
• 2:31
  Brian McFadden: And those satellites ain't cheap.
• 2:34
  Testecleese: I know, hey!
• 2:34
  Brian McFadden: I'm sure there's insurance on them, but still, you know…
• 2:38
  Testecleese: Imagine being the insurance company on a shuttle, you know what I mean?
• 2:42
  Testecleese: We're covering this? No way!
• 2:47
  Testecleese: Now the FAA has grounded them from launching this thing again.
• 2:53
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Testecleese: Until they can get some actual information, like you said.
• 2:56
  Brian McFadden: And this company has been having problems from the… pretty much the get-go. Their test flight to the space station…
• 3:05
  Brian McFadden: The astronauts had to stay up there for, like, 10 months, when it was supposed to be a 10-day cruise. Reminds me of the Gilligan's Island theme song, you know?
• 3:13
  Testecleese: 3-hour tour.
• 3:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, didn't…
• 3:17
  Testecleese: I remember this, actually.
• 3:19
  Brian McFadden: He had to come back. Elon had to send a special ship up there. Elon Musk had to send a one.
• 3:23
  Testecleese: Mark it up, yeah. And everyone's like, we don't want him to do that. It's like, would you just want to leave these people in the space station because you hate Elon Musk?
• 3:29
  Brian McFadden: You know, and then the rocket did make it down safely on autopilot, but, you know, you don't know, you know, you're better off doing it the way they did it, you know, to be on the safe side. So this thing, this Blue Origins, has been plagued with problems since the get-go, so…
• 3:46
  Testecleese: Honestly, I'm not surprised, because they're trying to do a lot of new stuff, just like SpaceX is doing.
• 3:53
  Testecleese: They're not trying to go the conventional the way the government did it before. Right. So you're gonna run into issues, and I…
• 4:00
  Testecleese: A lot of people don't like that these billionaires are doing these programs, like, it's a waste of money, you could be feeding people. No, this is gonna make… this competition between these guys…
• 4:09
  Testecleese: It's going to make it so that we can actually travel
• 4:13
  Testecleese: sooner, you know what I mean?
• 4:16
  Testecleese: Why take the taxpayers' dollars to figure out how to colonize Mars if a billionaire will do it, you know? And hey, he wants to get there first, because he wants to mine Mars, and the other billionaire wants to get there first, because he wants to mine Mars. You know what I mean? They're just gonna be working at it faster and faster.
• 4:31
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 4:32
  Testecleese: You know, capitalism, oh my goodness, you know?
• 4:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Testecleese: Do you remember this, Olivia Henderson girl, the DoorDash girl?
• 4:44
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we talked about it last week, where, you know, at first they made it sound like it was just random, but then we dug into the article more, and it wasn't random.
• 4:55
  Testecleese: No, well, she… Broke into the guy's house, video recorded him.
• 5:00
  Brian McFadden: Oh, different door to usher, okay.
• 5:01
  Testecleese: Almost naked, and then published it online.
• 5:04
  Testecleese: saying, I was just sexually assaulted. It's like, you're not supposed to go into the guy's house and record him, then publish it, you know what I mean?
• 5:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah,
• 5:12
  Testecleese: And she said she was sexually assaulted. It's like, the guy was unconscious.
• 5:16
  Testecleese: You know? Yeah. And then she went on and said, well, I'm gonna make sure I post this everywhere I can, maybe he'll at least be embarrassed, and maybe he'll learn a lesson. And it's like, okay, so right there, you're showing that you're premeditating, this is your intent to do this, it's not just ignorance or naivety.
• 5:31
  Testecleese: She's, facing 8 years in prison.
• 5:35
  Testecleese: For her conduct of breaking and entering and recording someone in their home without their permission, publishing it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 5:42
  Brian McFadden: I don't know.
• 5:43
  Testecleese: She's still claiming victim, she's actually got a video out there screaming, THE VICTIM HERE! It's like, no, you're not the victim if you broke into someone's house, okay? Yeah.
• 5:54
  Brian McFadden: That's not how it works.
• 5:56
  Testecleese: Yeah. And hey, if you want to play this game, let's be real about some of these 30-something-year-old women that answer the door in almost nothing, because they're lonely when they get a pizza delivered. Let's watch all those women start getting blamed for sexual assault, because they're actually answering the door, you know?
• 6:11
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 6:15
  Testecleese: Okay. Knew the SAVE Act wasn't gonna get through, didn't we?
• 6:18
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Brian McFadden: It makes too much sense.
• 6:22
  Testecleese: Well, it's 70% of Democrat voters said, yes, you should have some kind of identification to vote.
• 6:29
  Testecleese: This is ridiculous.
• 6:31
  Testecleese: This is absolutely… this is absolutely against what the people wanted, because all the Democrats voted against, and 4 Republicans voted against it.
• 6:39
  Testecleese: And…
• 6:40
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 6:41
  Testecleese: it was decided in advance this wasn't gonna happen, because then the Republican Party wouldn't have this to run on, and then the Democrats wouldn't be able to get their,
• 6:49
  Testecleese: Extra votes with the census and gerrymandering, you know?
• 6:52
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 6:55
  Testecleese: Which we'll definitely get into.
• 7:01
  Testecleese: Okay, we talked about these Chicago schools a couple times, how they're basically, like, taking days off to have the kids go protest.
• 7:09
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 7:10
  Testecleese: Which I… Can't believe that.
• 7:13
  Brian McFadden: Call it an optional civic engagement trip.
• 7:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, but it's, it's… gee, you… oh my god.
• 7:20
  Testecleese: then you have to give the right wing the Turning Point USA chapter
• 7:26
  Testecleese: You have to give them a day they can just skip school to go protest the Democrats then. You know what I mean?
• 7:32
  Testecleese: You can't say, you have to follow our political causes. Of course they're gonna go instead of going to school, you know what I mean?
• 7:40
  Testecleese: I just think it's crazy, like, oh, look at all these kids showing up, it's like, yeah, this is, truancy, that's against the law. Right. They're supposed to be in school.
• 7:48
  Brian McFadden: But nobody's gonna do anything about it.
• 7:51
  Testecleese: No, here, actually, if my daughter's not in school on time, they call us.
• 7:56
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 7:59
  Testecleese: If we didn't tell them in advance or something, you know what I mean?
• 8:03
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 8:06
  Testecleese: Oh, I think you shared this, about…
• 8:08
  Brian McFadden: Good.
• 8:08
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, there's a New Testament scholar who's got a book out that he says that, there is more evidence that Jesus was real.
• 8:18
  Testecleese: Well, whoever said he wasn't real?
• 8:21
  Brian McFadden: I know, I know. I mean, even the Jews… even the Jews acknowledged Jews.
• 8:25
  Testecleese: Jesus.
• 8:25
  Brian McFadden: It's hit top sellers of both Amazon and New York Times lists, and for it to make it to New York Times, that, you know, typically they like to try to, like.
• 8:34
  Brian McFadden: Finagle the numbers, so…
• 8:37
  Testecleese: Whoa, whoa.
• 8:38
  Brian McFadden: books don't get right up on the list, except for the Bible. They had no control over the Bible. The Bible's…
• 8:43
  Brian McFadden: You know, still, like, one of the top-selling books.
• 8:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, but New York Times best-selling list doesn't mean that it's actually, like, the best-selling books. That's just what New York Times picks.
• 8:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 8:53
  Testecleese: As a, like, hey, these are the biggest books right now, according to them, not according to sales.
• 8:59
  Testecleese: But, I did notice in here, it said something about the Shroud of Turin, and I could have sworn that had been proven to be a hoax already.
• 9:07
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 9:09
  Testecleese: Maybe, I mean, I could be wrong.
• 9:11
  Testecleese: I just… I could have sword it was proven that it was only, like, 20 years old, and it was, like, cheesecloth, and… or something like that, I don't know.
• 9:18
  Testecleese: But, no one… I haven't heard many people claim that Jesus never existed. Usually the argument is it wasn't God, you know?
• 9:26
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 9:27
  Testecleese: I mean, Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet.
• 9:31
  Testecleese: the Jews recognize him as a prophet, the Christians recognize him.
• 9:35
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 9:35
  Testecleese: as God, you know?
• 9:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 9:40
  Testecleese: You know, hey, maybe it is possible. It was just a really nice guy, way back in the day, who just went around helping people all the time.
• 9:47
  Testecleese: You know?
• 9:48
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 9:49
  Testecleese: That's not so hard to believe, honestly.
• 9:53
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 9:55
  Testecleese: Alright, this… the scientist thing… I'm sure you've been hearing about it for a while, just like I have.
• 10:01
  Brian McFadden: Two weeks,
• 10:02
  Testecleese: Yeah, but, like, I don't want to get into it yet, I don't want to get into it. But I guess NASA has made a statement about one of their scientists who went missing, or…
• 10:11
  Brian McFadden: And apparently the federal government's launched an investigation into it, too.
• 10:18
  Testecleese: Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but all these scientists are…
• 10:21
  Testecleese: Have been involved in, like, nerve agents.
• 10:24
  Testecleese: They've been working with, weapons, weapons tech, and stuff like that.
• 10:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 10:31
  Testecleese: What's even crazier.
• 10:32
  Brian McFadden: Even in space tech, too.
• 10:34
  Testecleese: Yes. Well, one woman who just, just killed herself, allegedly.
• 10:40
  Testecleese: Had a month before.
• 10:42
  Testecleese: sent messages out to her friends saying, I am not suicidal, that someone's coming to get me, I don't know why.
• 10:49
  Testecleese: She actually, it looked like… at one point, it looked like they tried to cook her with some kind of radiation through her window. It was pretty gross, she got nasty sunburns all over herself. But anyway…
• 11:00
  Testecleese: She was working on some kind of anti-gravity technology.
• 11:04
  Testecleese: And…
• 11:07
  Testecleese: you know, said, I'm not gonna do any of this stuff, and then, boom, turned up with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
• 11:14
  Testecleese: This NASA one here, the ties to Space Tech, isn't she the one who's doing, the nerve agent stuff or something?
• 11:21
  Brian McFadden: Oh, that was an Army person. Army. Oh, okay.
• 11:24
  Testecleese: Oh, okay, I'm sorry, my mistake.
• 11:26
  Brian McFadden: It was… it was ruled an accidental death, despite… Disputed evidence.
• 11:32
  Brian McFadden: Surprise, surprise!
• 11:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, it sounds like, people involved in certain things are disappearing.
• 11:40
  Testecleese: Yeah, it wasn't… This, army dude.
• 11:45
  Testecleese: Was he the one who… drove his Tesla somewhere without his phone.
• 11:51
  Testecleese: And then was burned beyond recognition, or was that a…
• 11:54
  Testecleese: I was another one of these scientists, too.
• 11:58
  Brian McFadden: I was like, this is…
• 11:58
  Testecleese: This is crazy, and it turns out China is having a lot of scientists disappear, too.
• 12:03
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 12:04
  Brian McFadden: The vehicle… well, no, this one… this guy was 71 years old, his vehicle rolled backwards down a driveway at home.
• 12:12
  Brian McFadden: Trapping him beneath it.
• 12:14
  Testecleese: Oh, that sucks.
• 12:18
  Testecleese: That's actually… isn't that basically what happened to the dude from the Star Trek movie?
• 12:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Testecleese: Yeah, jeez, what a terrible way to die.
• 12:29
  Testecleese: And, okay, so what's the deal with the hack?
• 12:33
  Testecleese: what, high… What's HUD again? It's Urban Develop… Housing and Urban Development Development.
• 12:38
  Brian McFadden: in urban development.
• 12:39
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 12:41
  Testecleese: what loophole are they talking about? Because I keep hearing it saying loopholes, loopholes, but basically what's happening is we're…
• 12:49
  Brian McFadden: I think this loophole is, well, maybe, I don't know what this article is, but, oh, we got… do we have another category? Okay, I'm thinking of another HUD article, let me look at this one.
• 13:01
  Brian McFadden: We'll get to the other article here when we get to the other category.
• 13:05
  Brian McFadden: Okay, no, this is the same article. This new HUD rule will stop sheltering illegals in public housing.
• 13:11
  Brian McFadden: So basically…
• 13:12
  Testecleese: Did that already work.
• 13:13
  Brian McFadden: You've already done a thing, yes, I agree.
• 13:16
  Testecleese: No, not even should it have.
• 13:18
  Brian McFadden: Because basically, when people come into the country, they have to commit to not getting on the public dole. And getting public housing is getting on the public dole. We're supposed to be prohibited from giving people like that financial assistance.
• 13:35
  Testecleese: Well, in particular because…
• 13:37
  Testecleese: If you let all of the poor of the world come here, and we're going to pay for them, then everyone will be poor.
• 13:44
  Testecleese: You know?
• 13:46
  Testecleese: Jeez, that's a lot of ice in that mug, dude.
• 13:50
  Brian McFadden: It's gonna melt.
• 13:51
  Testecleese: Prince.
• 13:52
  Testecleese: God.
• 13:53
  Brian McFadden: The rum will be gone before the ice is.
• 13:57
  Testecleese: Did it get good and hot up there today?
• 13:59
  Brian McFadden: Not too bad. Like, I think… In the 70s.
• 14:03
  Brian McFadden: It's been cloudy most of the day.
• 14:06
  Testecleese: Yeah, I wonder what, Virginia's like today. Always like today.
• 14:10
  Brian McFadden: Well, they had a frost warning a couple of nights ago, so…
• 14:12
  Testecleese: We just had a frost, like, a week ago. I was like, what the hell is going on here?
• 14:18
  Testecleese: But yeah, anyway, the…
• 14:21
  Brian McFadden: So, yeah, and they're saying that,
• 14:24
  Brian McFadden: They're saying that the illegals are the one that took advantage of a loophole in the law.
• 14:33
  Brian McFadden: And, the Trump administration is trying to close this loophole. And they're also using, this is how they're cracking down on…
• 14:44
  Brian McFadden: Arresting more illegals is by finding them in public housing.
• 14:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, and actually.
• 14:50
  Brian McFadden: Because basically what they're saying is, if you got all these illegals on housing, like, in New York City, there's 227
• 14:59
  Brian McFadden: 227,000… 100,000 people, they're on a waitlist for public housing apartments.
• 15:05
  Testecleese: Yeah. And then you're gonna go and put illegal immigrants in there instead.
• 15:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and there's 64,000 of them combined in Boston. Yeah, it's… yeah. So, this should open up more housing for actual U.S. citizens.
• 15:20
  Testecleese: Well, it's gonna be funny, and it's not funny, haha, but… In a sad, ironic way.
• 15:26
  Testecleese: that ice is just gonna go through these major cities, looking for these,
• 15:32
  Testecleese: Illegal immigrants tossed out on the streets with all their possessions and go, oh, there they are, there they are, there they are, you know?
• 15:39
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 15:41
  Testecleese: Because, you know, if a law gets passed, actually gets, like, all the way through,
• 15:47
  Testecleese: There has to be a date that has to go into effect.
• 15:50
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 15:50
  Testecleese: And on that day, you're gonna see a whole bunch of people.
• 15:54
  Testecleese: Losing their homes.
• 15:56
  Testecleese: Which, not saying I want these folks to be homeless, but I don't think we should be paying for their housing either. You can't come in here and be a net drain on the economy, or else why would we bring you here?
• 16:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 16:08
  Testecleese: Go on.
• 16:09
  Testecleese: Well, check this out, we,
• 16:11
  Testecleese: Next county over from me, or two counties over from me, there was, there's a silver…
• 16:20
  Testecleese: reclamation factory or something, I'm not sure what… exactly what they do, but they,
• 16:27
  Testecleese: They had a chemical reaction, and they were getting ready… they were actually closing this plant down.
• 16:31
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 16:32
  Testecleese: And they had a chemical reaction that got out of control that they weren't expecting, with some kind of acid mixed with something.
• 16:39
  Testecleese: Killed two people.
• 16:41
  Testecleese: 19 more went to the hospital. Some… one dude even showed up to the hospital in a… a trash truck, because the tr… you know, the guy, like, ran away from this… the…
• 16:51
  Testecleese: to Toxin. And the first person that saw him was a trash truck driver and drove him straight to the emergency room.
• 16:57
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 16:58
  Testecleese: It's just… yeah, they shut the area down around it for, like, 5 miles, and went in with a cleanup crew.
• 17:06
  Testecleese: It could have been a lot worse than it was.
• 17:09
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 17:11
  Testecleese: And this is interesting, the United States Geological Society has detected an earthquake in the,
• 17:17
  Testecleese: town next to… well, I say town next to me… a town in my county.
• 17:24
  Testecleese: Had a 2.5 magnitude earthquake, which isn't…
• 17:28
  Testecleese: most people didn't even notice it, and it was six and a half miles underground. It just surprised me, because I was under the impression that the,
• 17:37
  Testecleese: that stuff didn't happen here anymore. Like, the Appalachian Mountains are the oldest on the planet.
• 17:42
  Testecleese: And, like, all that activity had stopped.
• 17:46
  Testecleese: Making me wonder, is this just…
• 17:49
  Testecleese: Not quite stopped, but slowed down to the point where it's not being noticed, or are the mountains moving again?
• 17:59
  Testecleese: I guess another, 100,000 years will tell us, huh?
• 18:02
  Brian McFadden: Yep, we'll find out here before we go.
• 18:04
  Testecleese: In 100,000 years?
• 18:08
  Testecleese: And a woman, actually, this is interesting, I came across this article on my, searching local news
• 18:15
  Testecleese: tab on my news app.
• 18:17
  Testecleese: Local woman in my county, she's a congregate of my church.
• 18:21
  Testecleese: is looking for a kidney donor for her daughter. They have some kind of genetic disease, and she's got some kind of, like, crystals in her blood or something weird that rips her kidneys up. She, got a new kidney 20 years ago, almost.
• 18:37
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 18:38
  Testecleese: And already destroyed it.
• 18:41
  Testecleese: And they're trying to find a live… they're trying to find a live donor instead of a cadaver organ donor.
• 18:47
  Testecleese: Because there's a better chance of everything working, right, and it usually lasts longer.
• 18:51
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 18:52
  Testecleese: Oof, that's a rough one, you know?
• 18:55
  Testecleese: How many times can you ask for a kidney before people stop donating kidneys to you, you know?
• 18:59
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 19:02
  Testecleese: Alright, what's going up in, next to Canada land?
• 19:06
  Brian McFadden: We got,
• 19:09
  Brian McFadden: We got some ICE detainees here in the state, they're on hunger strike over their living conditions.
• 19:16
  Testecleese: Okay, so, does that mean we don't have to keep shipping food there?
• 19:19
  Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
• 19:20
  Testecleese: Alright, that sounds like we're saving money, that's awesome.
• 19:24
  Brian McFadden: They're in… they're in two cell blocks in Northern Lake Processing Center. They stopped eating on, they were April 19th, so that's much of the article as I can read, because I'm not paying to read it, so…
• 19:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, was it, Reuters?
• 19:40
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Testecleese: Yeah I hate those.
• 19:44
  Brian McFadden: I don't think it was Detroit News, so…
• 19:47
  Testecleese: Wow, alright.
• 19:49
  Testecleese: I don't know where it is, and half the time, it would just send me to, like, their main webpage, and I'm like, but the article was… you had a headline, and it's.
• 19:56
  Brian McFadden: That's right.
• 19:57
  Testecleese: Lori here! This is just…
• 20:01
  Testecleese: And this is interesting, I read this article that you sent me about 600 pounds a pot.
• 20:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Testecleese: Got destroyed.
• 20:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, apparently it wasn't being processed through the, the legal channels of Michigan, you know? But…
• 20:15
  Testecleese: Oh, so it's illicit marijuana.
• 20:17
  Brian McFadden: But, no charges were filed against this person, because they couldn't prove that he was doing anything illegally.
• 20:25
  Testecleese: That's just crazy. If you… if you have to destroy 600 pounds of pot, what'd it say, anywhere between, like, one and a half and two million dollars?
• 20:32
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 20:33
  Testecleese: of value. If you had to destroy 600 pounds of marijuana.
• 20:37
  Testecleese: Because… then someone should be facing charges, you know what I mean?
• 20:41
  Brian McFadden: You know?
• 20:43
  Brian McFadden: The average person for personal consumption does not have that much Marijuana.
• 20:49
  Testecleese: Even when I go nuts and grow a whole bunch of trees in the summer because I can, you know, then I freeze it, I don't get anywhere near 600 pounds, are you kidding me?
• 20:59
  Testecleese: I would have to plant my entire mountainside to get 600 pounds of pot.
• 21:05
  Testecleese: And we're talking probably buds, not whole plants, right?
• 21:08
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I'm sure.
• 21:09
  Testecleese: Jeez Louise!
• 21:12
  Testecleese: Repeat offender!
• 21:14
  Testecleese: Has returned once.
• 21:14
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I like… Yeah, let's say, oh, yeah, I'm still on a beard.
• 21:19
  Ron Pascoe: Still suspended.
• 21:23
  Brian McFadden: That's why you've got multiple accounts.
• 21:24
  Testecleese: That's why you're the.
• 21:25
  Ron Pascoe: Beat offender.
• 21:27
  Ron Pascoe: Like, these Liberals, I'll tell you what, they only know one way to do things, and that's cancel people. They can't argue a point.
• 21:36
  Testecleese: No, they get offended, and then they go and report you, and it's like, what did I…
• 21:41
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 21:42
  Testecleese: Most of the stuff I've ever been in Facebook jail for was because someone got offended at a fact.
• 21:48
  Testecleese: Right. I'm like, I don't understand how I am not allowed to log into my account for a week because, you know, someone else didn't like the numbers that got released by the IRS or something, you know?
• 22:00
  Ron Pascoe: Well, I think it was only a month and a half ago, I had to do a selfie to prove who I was, then I get this big apology from Facebook that I've been suspended. Oh, we know this happens all the time, next move. The same thing's happened again. I'm suspended again, they won't let me take a selfie this time.
• 22:17
  Ron Pascoe: So, I found the email that you wrote away to, so I'll put a couple of nice little emails through.
• 22:22
  Testecleese: Oh yeah, absolutely. Fingers crossed.
• 22:24
  Ron Pascoe: I've only got 160-something days left to appeal.
• 22:27
  Testecleese: Well, no, hold on. You sound like a Republican. You wrote a strongly worded letter.
• 22:32
  Testecleese: And then did nothing about it.
• 22:36
  Ron Pascoe: I threw in some pictures to help him out with crayons.
• 22:39
  Testecleese: Sh-
• 22:40
  Brian McFadden: It's Facebook, good luck finding a real person to talk to.
• 22:44
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, I know, mate, yeah, I know.
• 22:46
  Testecleese: Actually, that's why I still use Facebook, because I actually know the people there, for the most part. Like, they're actually people I know, or have interacted with. When I go on X, it's like…
• 22:56
  Testecleese: you know, you have to pick and choose who you want to follow instead of having, like, friends you talk to, you know what I mean?
• 23:01
  Brian McFadden: Right,
• 23:03
  Testecleese: You know, you go and put an… I put an idea out into the ether. If nobody knows who the fuck I am, no one's ever gonna see what I tweeted, except for, like, my friends, which I can just send them right across from Facebook anyway, you know?
• 23:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 23:13
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, that's right, mate, at least you're doing a food story these days, or you're getting your tits out. Nobody wants to see it.
• 23:20
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Testecleese: Well, that's what's funny, too, these… these femin… they're calling it feminism now, and empowerment, when these girls… these 20-year-old…
• 23:29
  Testecleese: 20-somethings, you know, wearing the skin… tighter-than-skin-tight, tiny shorts to the gym, and, like, showing their ass off. It's like, that's empowerment? It's like…
• 23:39
  Testecleese: Last week, you were complaining that dudes were looking at you wearing that at the gym, you know?
• 23:45
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, it's a new week of news story,
• 23:49
  Testecleese: Oh, good God. Anyway, Brian, we've got one more Michigan story.
• 23:53
  Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, so we have this, 20-year-old woman who was operating in a vehicle while intoxicated after driving through a construction zone, which was an active construction zone at the time. There were actually people working in this construction zone.
• 24:12
  Testecleese: Well, you drive through construction zones all the time, because unless…
• 24:17
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? They usually give you a way through, unless you… they put a detour, which you occasionally do.
• 24:22
  Brian McFadden: So this road was closed.
• 24:23
  Testecleese: Oh… Okay, okay.
• 24:26
  Brian McFadden: They were able to get her stopped, and surprise, surprise, she was drunk and underage. So, I hope she enjoyed that, that joyride, because,
• 24:36
  Testecleese: That's the end of it.
• 24:37
  Brian McFadden: Driving again anytime soon.
• 24:39
  Testecleese: No, they, yeah, she bundles her license.
• 24:42
  Ron Pascoe: What's your punishment there for that sort of thing?
• 24:45
  Testecleese: 10…
• 24:45
  Brian McFadden: It's a DUI, and… so that's like a $10,000 fine in court costs, and probably jail time, and…
• 24:54
  Testecleese: Good evening, right?
• 24:54
  Brian McFadden: She's revoked. And she's underage, so her license is definitely gonna be revoked.
• 24:58
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 24:59
  Brian McFadden: Underage.
• 24:59
  Testecleese: 5 years.
• 25:01
  Ron Pascoe: Here in Australia, we've got… sorry?
• 25:04
  Testecleese: I'm saying she's almost certainly gonna lose her license, because she's under 21.
• 25:08
  Testecleese: They're almost certainly gonna take it away for 5 years.
• 25:11
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 25:12
  Ron Pascoe: Here in Australia, if we go through any… anyone working on the side of the road, whether it's a police officer pulling over somebody, we've got to automatically slow down to 40Ks.
• 25:21
  Ron Pascoe: It's totally bad.
• 25:21
  Ron Pascoe: 40s.
• 25:22
  Brian McFadden: Pull over, if possible.
• 25:25
  Testecleese: We've got to slow down or get overruled.
• 25:28
  Ron Pascoe: If we strike anyone working on the side of the road with our vehicle, Whether they lose or whatever.
• 25:33
  Ron Pascoe: No, even if they live, it's automatically 10 years jail.
• 25:38
  Ron Pascoe: If we're… we go through anything over 40Ks and we hit somebody.
• 25:42
  Testecleese: No, okay, okay.
• 25:43
  Ron Pascoe: on the side of the road, a bus pulled over, anything quiet, you know what I mean? Anyone walk.
• 25:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know you're.
• 25:48
  Ron Pascoe: zipper.
• 25:49
  Testecleese: Or even the prisoners out picking up trash.
• 25:52
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, 10 years, 10 years straight away. Then you get on top if you murder someone.
• 25:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, that you're dealing with a vehicular homicide.
• 26:01
  Testecleese: You know, pause, depending on how crazy Australia wants to go, you could even get him with murder at that point, instead of just,
• 26:07
  Testecleese: manslaughter, you know? I don't know if you guys have different rules.
• 26:11
  Ron Pascoe: Well, it's intentional, then. If you go… if you purposely go through a 40K speed zone, That's intense.
• 26:16
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 26:17
  Testecleese: Well, that's what's got me about this.
• 26:18
  Ron Pascoe: That's because you…
• 26:19
  Testecleese: usually you have guys working on the side of the road. These guys were working on the road, and she drove through. Could you imagine being the guy with, like, heavy equipment, looking at the car, coming at you, like.
• 26:28
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 26:29
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 26:30
  Ron Pascoe: Unless you're a big roller, frankly.
• 26:33
  Testecleese: Whoa!
• 26:34
  Ron Pascoe: Straight over the top.
• 26:37
  Testecleese: Watch her… yeah, watch her just splide against it.
• 26:41
  Ron Pascoe: Jake said he wasn't real, lady.
• 26:44
  Testecleese: Virginia, actually, we were just mentioning Virginia, Brian.
• 26:47
  Brian McFadden: Indeed.
• 26:48
  Testecleese: We were talking about that curfew last week, weren't we?
• 26:51
  Brian McFadden: Yep, and I said that there were lawsuits already pending on it, and the lawsuit prevailed this weekend. There is no 9.30 all-ages curfew.
• 27:01
  Testecleese: Not just that, but before this… no, this was in effect, dude, in Virginia Beach.
• 27:07
  Brian McFadden: For a whole weekend.
• 27:08
  Testecleese: And a woman, a woman got picked up. She got arrested for going out to…
• 27:13
  Brian McFadden: She's been outside of her… she was outside of her house.
• 27:15
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 27:15
  Brian McFadden: poking.
• 27:17
  Ron Pascoe: You're joking!
• 27:18
  Testecleese: No! They picked her up and arrested her for… because she was out past…
• 27:23
  Testecleese: And I was like, geez, what have happened to Liberty? And it's like, yeah, she doesn't want her house to stink like cigarett.
• 27:27
  Brian McFadden: That course has already been thrown out, and dismissed, so…
• 27:31
  Testecleese: Oh, I would sue the city over that if I were her, wouldn't you?
• 27:35
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 27:35
  Ron Pascoe: I would love to be her lawyer.
• 27:37
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah!
• 27:38
  Brian McFadden: Her lawyer is a pretty famous lawyer in Virginia, Tim Anderson.
• 27:42
  Testecleese: I don't know the name.
• 27:43
  Brian McFadden: He shows up on my Facebook feed all the time now, so…
• 27:46
  Testecleese: What do you do?
• 27:47
  Ron Pascoe: Retiring. He would be retiring on the money she could make.
• 27:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, especially depending on…
• 27:53
  Brian McFadden: The businesses hated it, too, because…
• 27:56
  Testecleese: down.
• 27:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I mean…
• 27:58
  Testecleese: What kind of bar? Yeah, what kind of bar? Okay, so you go to Virginia Beach, right? Gorgeous, sandy, white sand beaches, right?
• 28:06
  Testecleese: You spend the day on the beach, and then you go with your boys to the tavern, the pub, the bar, whichever one.
• 28:12
  Brian McFadden: Gotta be out of there by 9.30.
• 28:14
  Testecleese: You have to leave by 9.30, I don't even get to watch the fight, you know?
• 28:20
  Testecleese: I mean, what bars are you even gonna bother opening?
• 28:23
  Brian McFadden: Oh, people last weekend.
• 28:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, you… by the time money starts coming in the door, you have to send them home.
• 28:28
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 28:29
  Ron Pascoe: That's an all-time economy. Imagine what they could sue for.
• 28:34
  Ron Pascoe: Bars and restaurants, like, that's where they make their… I know, in Iowa.
• 28:38
  Testecleese: There should be a giant lawsuit about this ever being put into effect, because this is flat-out against liberty.
• 28:45
  Testecleese: It's about everything… against everything that this country has founded upon.
• 28:48
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and Virginia's got laws in place to not allow this to happen after COVID, so…
• 28:55
  Testecleese: Virginia also had a law to prevent them from gerrymandering, but… you know.
• 29:00
  Brian McFadden: We'll get to that, don't we?
• 29:02
  Testecleese: Oh, we will get to that, don't worry. That's gonna be a big part of tonight.
• 29:09
  Testecleese: Okay, so Ilhan Omar. I love… I love how her name keeps showing up everywhere, and it's all bad news for her.
• 29:18
  Testecleese: So, remember when she filed her taxes and said.
• 29:21
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, she was a millionaire.
• 29:23
  Testecleese: worth $30 million or whatever. Everyone's like, whoa, whoa, where'd this come from? Turns out it was an accounting error.
• 29:29
  Brian McFadden: I don't know how you have a $30 million accounting error, and you have to sign that form to turn into the disclosure form you have to turn into the federal government. Did she not read the form and realize that…
• 29:39
  Testecleese: 30 million?
• 29:40
  Testecleese: The difference…
• 29:41
  Brian McFadden: Peter?
• 29:42
  Testecleese: A $30 million difference isn't just a moved decimal point, you know what I mean? You have to move it several times for that kind of error to happen.
• 29:50
  Brian McFadden: I would notice if, you know, if I had $30 million claimed on my taxes.
• 29:55
  Brian McFadden: And I don't make anything near that, you know?
• 29:59
  Testecleese: Then how did you pay your taxes?
• 30:01
  Ron Pascoe: You do realize that her accountant got certified at the Learing center.
• 30:05
  Testecleese: Of course, yes, the Learing Center, exactly.
• 30:09
  Testecleese: Speaking of… Omar refused to go speak before Congress concerning all the.
• 30:16
  Brian McFadden: Minnesota.
• 30:18
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Brian McFadden: State Congress.
• 30:20
  Testecleese: About all of her, dealings with this fraud going on with childcare.
• 30:24
  Brian McFadden: And they weren't a happy camper, but I don't know what kind of,
• 30:30
  Brian McFadden: What kind of consequences is there gonna be for not showing up to the state?
• 30:35
  Brian McFadden: The state, so as a…
• 30:36
  Testecleese: authority within the state, whether or not she's a federal con- federal congresswoman.
• 30:41
  Ron Pascoe: Wasn't she just given 5 days to appear?
• 30:45
  Ron Pascoe: They'd get a subpoena or something, 5 days she's got to appear.
• 30:48
  Testecleese: I guess she refused, or didn't show up in time, because…
• 30:52
  Ron Pascoe: audio.
• 30:52
  Ron Pascoe: I only read something about it this morning, she's got 5 days to appear or something.
• 30:56
  Testecleese: Maybe… maybe something, has changed since this came out, maybe they gave her more time because she had a good reason for not being there? Maybe?
• 31:04
  Ron Pascoe: Now she's not a millionaire.
• 31:06
  Brian McFadden: Beyond.
• 31:07
  Brian McFadden: Can't afford to fly back and forth.
• 31:12
  Testecleese: Love this!
• 31:14
  Ron Pascoe: There's still prices at the moment.
• 31:16
  Brian McFadden: for her brother to pay her airfare, otherwise known as.
• 31:19
  Ron Pascoe: I don't regret. Husband!
• 31:23
  Testecleese: This is the problem, these are all things that are, like, Oh my god.
• 31:29
  Testecleese: And they can'.
• 31:29
  Brian McFadden: We want a normal person to raise the bullshit flag and never voted for, you know, but…
• 31:35
  Testecleese: Yeah!
• 31:35
  Brian McFadden: Apparently there ain't sane people living in Minnesota, huh?
• 31:38
  Testecleese: God.
• 31:39
  Ron Pascoe: That's good.
• 31:40
  Testecleese: That's hurting.
• 31:40
  Ron Pascoe: Take part.
• 31:42
  Testecleese: Her name is attached to so many different things, and none of it is good for her.
• 31:46
  Ron Pascoe: 67 taxpayer dollars.
• 31:48
  Brian McFadden: Getting re-elected.
• 31:50
  Testecleese: Oh, my God. At some point, you think you would just pick anyone else, you know what I mean?
• 31:55
  Brian McFadden: Chuck Norris.
• 31:56
  Ron Pascoe: but over here.
• 31:57
  Testecleese: Chuck Norris.
• 31:58
  Ron Pascoe: different.
• 32:00
  Testecleese: He's better than Ilhan Omar, at least, you know what I mean?
• 32:05
  Testecleese: He doesn't… he doesn't play the black card as much as he could, and he doesn't play the gay card, although I'm not sure he's gay.
• 32:12
  Testecleese: He just…
• 32:12
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, I don't know, you're saying shoes…
• 32:13
  Testecleese: See, he just seems gay to me, and I don't want to sound homophobic by saying that, but he come across as a man who enjoys the company of another man, you know what I mean?
• 32:23
  Ron Pascoe: Have you seen the shoes he wears?
• 32:25
  Testecleese: No, no, I didn't, because I'm not gay, see? This is how… this is the kind of thing we're talking about here.
• 32:33
  Testecleese: Women and gay men notice shoes!
• 32:38
  Brian McFadden: Clearly, the repeat offender! Well… If the shoe sits, wear it!
• 32:46
  Testecleese: Oh, there you go, there you go!
• 32:48
  Ron Pascoe: My son's going, he told me about these things.
• 32:51
  Testecleese: I got nothing against the homosexuals.
• 32:53
  Testecleese: I, just… You know, sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade.
• 32:58
  Testecleese: Like, like, let's be real, Lindsey Graham, do you think he really is just a lifelong bachelor, or do you think that he's got…
• 33:06
  Testecleese: A man on the side that he keeps out of public view, because he doesn't want to be the gay man.
• 33:11
  Ron Pascoe: He's a J. Edgar Hoover.
• 33:13
  Testecleese: Possibly, that's what I'm saying, is, you know…
• 33:18
  Ron Pascoe: Check who he's assistant is. Check who he's assistant is.
• 33:22
  Ron Pascoe: Ugh.
• 33:23
  Testecleese: Alright, oh, this is… this is great, and I love this.
• 33:29
  Testecleese: And this is gonna break…
• 33:30
  Brian McFadden: Interestingly, we've been talking shit about this organization.
• 33:34
  Brian McFadden: Since the first season of the show.
• 33:37
  Testecleese: And, well, that's the thing. The SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, used to do great work.
• 33:43
  Testecleese: To stand up for everybody's civil rights, even if you are a despicable, horrible person.
• 33:49
  Testecleese: They famously represented the Ku Klux Klan once, way back in the day, saying they at least have a right to organize and do all this stuff.
• 33:58
  Testecleese: Lately, they've been turning this left-wing… Weapon, basically.
• 34:04
  Testecleese: And… turns out they've been… not… not representing the Klan, per se, in a courtroom, but they're funding them and the neo-Nazis.
• 34:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, that makes sense to me.
• 34:17
  Testecleese: So your donations that were supposed to go stop this shit from happening is funding it!
• 34:23
  Testecleese: And even more fun!
• 34:25
  Testecleese: It turns out that these guys organized the Charlottesville thing.
• 34:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. Well, they were paying an informer in Charlottesville.
• 34:35
  Testecleese: They paid the people that organized it. They got these groups together and said, hey, neo-Nazis, because there's, like, 37 of you in the country, hey, Kukos Clan, because there's 180 of you in the country, all come together and call it Unite the Right.
• 34:49
  Testecleese: Turns out, they went out and found all these people and brought them together on purpose to do this, and it could have been more dangerous than it was, but I don't know if you recall, Brian, this is why Joe Biden got into the presidential race, was because of what happened then.
• 35:02
  Brian McFadden: Listening to a podcast today, I think it was a Noah Jenna show, and they replayed that… his… his announcement speech because of that.
• 35:13
  Testecleese: Yes, exactly. He specifically said, this is why I am doing this, this has to stop. And I was like, you manufactured a crisis.
• 35:21
  Testecleese: To justify doing something.
• 35:24
  Testecleese: Oh my god, it's just…
• 35:27
  Testecleese: If this… if you can't find the hate out there that you claim is there so much.
• 35:32
  Testecleese: You have to go make it up, because they'll stop getting donations and they'll go out of business as a non-profit.
• 35:40
  Ron Pascoe: So they do with racism, huh?
• 35:41
  Testecleese: Hey, hey, thank.
• 35:42
  Brian McFadden: And apparently, since this all came out, this has been going on for, like, a year at the Southern Poverty Law Center, but it's just finally hitting the national news.
• 35:53
  Brian McFadden: for everybody else to hear, that a lot of the staffers have left because they are disenfranchised with, the bad publicity that they're getting. So, staff is leaving.
• 36:06
  Brian McFadden: They also may see the writing on the wall that realizes that this place ain't gonna be around much longer.
• 36:12
  Testecleese: Yeah, get out, steal the silverware before the ship sinks, right?
• 36:16
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. The FBI until now. Didn't Kash Patel say he's looking into it?
• 36:21
  Testecleese: He might be.
• 36:22
  Testecleese: I know that they're… they're being brought up on charges,
• 36:27
  Testecleese: Fraud charges, yeah, so, I mean, that's gotta be the FBI, right?
• 36:31
  Ron Pascoe: turning point of going after him too, I think.
• 36:33
  Testecleese: Yeah, what can Turning Point do, though? Investigate?
• 36:36
  Ron Pascoe: I suppose. Look what Nick Shirley did.
• 36:39
  Ron Pascoe: Look what Nick.
• 36:40
  Testecleese: Yeah, he can investigate and expose stuff, he can't actually prosecute anybody.
• 36:44
  Brian McFadden: Well, I think I saw that the leaders of the KKK are part of the Southern Property Law Center.
• 36:51
  Testecleese: Yes! The grand… great-grand super wizard, whoever the hell is the… in charge of the whole, like…
• 36:56
  Brian McFadden: Wow.
• 36:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, the guy in charge of the whole nationwide thing, the supreme leader, if you will!
• 37:03
  Testecleese: Is getting paid by these guys.
• 37:07
  Testecleese: You're not a…
• 37:07
  Brian McFadden: Good organization if you're funding the KKK.
• 37:12
  Testecleese: No, and I am so glad USAID got shut down the way it did, because our tax dollars were paying for that before.
• 37:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 37:20
  Ron Pascoe: Aw.
• 37:21
  Ron Pascoe: Mate, can you imagine the fallout once this band-aid gets ripped off completely?
• 37:26
  Testecleese: Well, the problem is, people are just going to deny it.
• 37:29
  Testecleese: And… people are gonna believe what they wanna believe, no matter what.
• 37:32
  Brian McFadden: et cetera.
• 37:34
  Testecleese: I mean, you can show them all this information.
• 37:35
  Brian McFadden: People don't… yeah, we've been around and around and around like this, you know? You can show them all the evidence in the world, and…
• 37:42
  Brian McFadden: They're like, that's made up, that's not true, that's not a reliable news source.
• 37:46
  Testecleese: Just like the very fine people on both sides hoax, which was the Charlottesville thing that the SPLC set up!
• 37:53
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 37:54
  Testecleese: Still saying the Trump said the neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
• 37:57
  Brian McFadden: That's not what he meant. That's not what he meant at all.
• 37:59
  Testecleese: But they don't play the… then you play the whole clip for them.
• 38:02
  Testecleese: They're like, oh, you added that on where you said, well, I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis or the white supremacists. It's like, no, no, no!
• 38:08
  Testecleese: one you've been listening to was cut off intentionally to give you bad information, and they'll just believe that instead. It's like, you could've watched this shit live like the rest of us did, too.
• 38:18
  Ron Pascoe: But every good ride's got about 12 buses, mate, ready to take them back where they bust them in from.
• 38:24
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 38:24
  Ron Pascoe: You know.
• 38:25
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 38:28
  Testecleese: It's…
• 38:29
  Ron Pascoe: Full coaches wind up, mate, ready to take them all back.
• 38:32
  Testecleese: Take him back to where?
• 38:34
  Ron Pascoe: Where they got shipped in from, mate. Oh, right, so you think they're all staged?
• 38:40
  Testecleese: I mean, I know…
• 38:41
  Ron Pascoe: I think it bust in.
• 38:42
  Testecleese: a whole bunch of these No Kings protests, they bust in people from, like, all over the country.
• 38:46
  Testecleese: Yeah. To some of them, yeah.
• 38:49
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 38:50
  Testecleese: I heard about this… A couple times this week.
• 38:55
  Testecleese: I have no idea who this woman is, she's a congresswoman, I guess, federal.
• 38:59
  Brian McFadden: I've heard a Democrat. I've never heard.
• 39:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, I've never heard her name before, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. How many congressional representatives are there, right?
• 39:08
  Testecleese: I wanna say… Crap, I have no idea, I know it's in the hundreds.
• 39:15
  Testecleese: Oh, whatever, doesn't really matter. But she's been accused of all sorts of, like, sexual assault or something?
• 39:22
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, she is.
• 39:22
  Testecleese: harassment?
• 39:24
  Ron Pascoe: Those four women.
• 39:26
  Testecleese: Hey, women can be guilty of, Inappropriate advances, too.
• 39:31
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, no, 100%.
• 39:34
  Ron Pascoe: Legal rights these days.
• 39:36
  Testecleese: Well, she,
• 39:38
  Testecleese: She said that, she was not going to resign, and that these are… these false allegations are, you know.
• 39:46
  Testecleese: just trying to make her look bad, and I was like, why would anyone try to make you look bad? No one's ever heard of you. You know what I mean? You're not, Massey or Omar, you know what I mean?
• 39:59
  Testecleese: And… but yeah, she made a big deal about this, so they decided to do one of those, hey, we're gonna vote… kick you guys out of, your seat.
• 40:07
  Testecleese: What do they call that, Brian?
• 40:08
  Brian McFadden: Expulsion vote.
• 40:10
  Testecleese: Oh, okay, an expulsion vote. And the last one they did… it's funny, this article mentions it's only happened, like, 6 times in U.S. history.
• 40:16
  Brian McFadden: And, Santos.
• 40:18
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, it just happened recently, too, and it was over…
• 40:22
  Testecleese: They had literally no evidence to bring forward. They just… an accusation, and they kicked them out of frickin' Congress. We're like, what the fuck just happened?
• 40:30
  Testecleese: But yeah, they decided to hold one of these votes.
• 40:34
  Testecleese: And she went ahead and resigned.
• 40:36
  Testecleese: Which… A,
• 40:39
  Testecleese: They gave you… at least they gave you the chance to resign your position instead of getting voted out.
• 40:45
  Testecleese: Yeah. Go ahead.
• 40:45
  Ron Pascoe: Which is what's…
• 40:47
  Testecleese: But let's be real, the local people would probably just vote her back into office.
• 40:51
  Testecleese: They can.
• 40:56
  Ron Pascoe: Well, it seems to be having quite a lot in Congress, doesn't it? People resigning lately?
• 41:02
  Testecleese: What do you mean?
• 41:04
  Ron Pascoe: All my favourite dickhead Spoil's going.
• 41:07
  Testecleese: Well, yeah.
• 41:11
  Ron Pascoe: and another one down messages on.
• 41:14
  Testecleese: Yeah, I had a very interesting take on Swalwell.
• 41:17
  Testecleese: I think his own party set him up because he was splitting the vote in California, and was gonna put two Republicans on the ticket instead of any Democrats.
• 41:26
  Brian McFadden: I think it still might put two Republicans on the ticket.
• 41:28
  Testecleese: It still might, but a lot of his votes now are gonna go to that, the crazy lady or whatever, you know what I mean?
• 41:35
  Ron Pascoe: Who's that billionaire coming through? That guy's come through now, they reckon he's pretty hot at the moment from the Democrats.
• 41:41
  Ron Pascoe: But I was sitting in the background, because I knew what was going on. Nancy gave him the tap on the shoulder, the small one.
• 41:46
  Testecleese: Hmm.
• 41:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, is… is Newsome not allowed to run again?
• 41:51
  Brian McFadden: No, he's term-limited.
• 41:53
  Testecleese: Okay, now, can he never run again? Because each state has their own rules.
• 41:57
  Brian McFadden: I don't know, I'm not a California resident anymore.
• 42:00
  Testecleese: Like, Virginia, for example, you can be governor as many times as you win, but just not two terms in a row.
• 42:07
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 42:08
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, my consecutive year, right?
• 42:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, I thought that was an interesting take, because then you're guaranteed some kind of change.
• 42:14
  Brian McFadden: Not necessarily for the better.
• 42:17
  Testecleese: No, not necessarily, but it's… but you don't get what happened with FDR.
• 42:21
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 42:22
  Brian McFadden: Go ahead.
• 42:22
  Testecleese: And just, what, FDR sat in office for 4 terms, was it?
• 42:26
  Brian McFadden: Three.
• 42:27
  Testecleese: 3, I'm sorry.
• 42:28
  Brian McFadden: He's the reason why they put the amendment in place.
• 42:32
  Ron Pascoe: where you.
• 42:32
  Brian McFadden: You can only do two consecutive terms.
• 42:35
  Testecleese: He's also the reason why we don't, why we see fatherless black homes, too.
• 42:40
  Brian McFadden: New Deal in place.
• 42:41
  Testecleese: Exactly, that New Deal.
• 42:44
  Testecleese: You… everyone gets paid money if daddy doesn't live with Mommy.
• 42:49
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 42:49
  Testecleese: I don't know why it affected the black community so much more than the others, But it did.
• 42:57
  Testecleese: oh, this is interesting, Brian. What's up,
• 43:03
  Testecleese: Okay, George Soros is dead, right? Like…
• 43:06
  Brian McFadden: His son's running the organization now.
• 43:09
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 43:09
  Ron Pascoe: Okay.
• 43:10
  Brian McFadden: And they're still funding groups, they're still funding elections all around the world, around the country mainly, to get their progressive people in power in places that will make changes. That's why they focus on
• 43:27
  Brian McFadden: district attorneys back in the day, because they had the control to decide who went to court, and who got charged, and all that.
• 43:36
  Testecleese: People don't have to go to prison, and those people do, right?
• 43:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 43:44
  Testecleese: B.
• 43:44
  Brian McFadden: But now, we… they spent billions of dollars on this,
• 43:52
  Brian McFadden: on this, redistricting fight in Virginia.
• 43:57
  Testecleese: Oh, are they the ones who came up with the, Ambiguous… Freezing.
• 44:04
  Brian McFadden: No, I don't think they did, but they ran a bazillion ads.
• 44:09
  Testecleese: Well, they're the ones…
• 44:10
  Brian McFadden: They paid the Obamas to get involved with it, you know, they paid all these Democrat leaders to say, oh, no.
• 44:18
  Brian McFadden: And they try to make it more confusing as possible for the voter, saying.
• 44:23
  Brian McFadden: Both sides were saying the same thing on all their campaign ads, but if you were watching Virginia TV for the last 6 months, you saw probably 10 times more yes ads than you saw no ads, because the Soros organizations were funding those ads.
• 44:39
  Brian McFadden: And they've got plenty of money just to throw away.
• 44:42
  Testecleese: That's what I was wondering, did they pay the Obamas, or did the Obamas do it because… for their party?
• 44:47
  Testecleese: And Soros money just, published it more often.
• 44:55
  Testecleese: And billions of dollars seems fucking nuts. Didn't we just…
• 44:58
  Testecleese: Can one of these DHS people
• 45:02
  Testecleese: Or someone get in trouble for the DHS spending, like.
• 45:06
  Testecleese: $3 million, something like that, with a commercial?
• 45:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, she lost her job, she's now a czar.
• 45:14
  Testecleese: She's a czar?
• 45:16
  Testecleese: I still don't understand why we use czars. That seems fucking crazy to me, why we use that term.
• 45:20
  Brian McFadden: Wow.
• 45:20
  Testecleese: There's so many other words…
• 45:21
  Brian McFadden: I use R. I use R.
• 45:24
  Testecleese: Obama called everyone and something czar. I was like, what the fuck?
• 45:27
  Brian McFadden: He's the special assistant to the president for…
• 45:31
  Brian McFadden: The, Homeland Protection System that we're creating.
• 45:36
  Testecleese: Is that Gnome?
• 45:38
  Brian McFadden: Yes!
• 45:39
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 45:41
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 45:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, but Czar, man, it's like…
• 45:45
  Testecleese: Depending on where you get the term from, it all goes back to Caesar and an emperor.
• 45:51
  Brian McFadden: Well, when I think of Tsar, I think of Russia.
• 45:54
  Testecleese: Well, that's T-S-A-R, but that comes from C-Z-A-R, czar, which comes from Caesar.
• 46:01
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 46:01
  Ron Pascoe: Thank you, Kamala.
• 46:03
  Ron Pascoe: I think Karma on the border.
• 46:06
  Testecleese: Meet Kamala on the border?
• 46:08
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, she was called the Border Tar.
• 46:10
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly where the borders are. I'm like, why would we use that word? Like, why can't we call them, like, consultant, or overseer, or… you know what I mean? Give them any other term than a… than a life… life term dictatorship, you know what I mean?
• 46:26
  Ron Pascoe: The one thing I laughed at about that Virginia, the redistric… redistricting in bloody Virginia.
• 46:33
  Ron Pascoe: They had it down where it was… oh, you're talking about now, or are you going to talk about later?
• 46:37
  Testecleese: We're just getting into that with the soros money that funded the commercials for it.
• 46:41
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, but this is what I'm talking about, part of it, is when they were going on about it and that, and they're saying.
• 46:46
  Ron Pascoe: Now, this is wrong, it's not right, we've got to correct it and all that sort of stuff, but then we'll go back to it in 2030.
• 46:54
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? Right.
• 46:55
  Brian McFadden: Right, yeah.
• 46:55
  Ron Pascoe: Because there's…
• 46:57
  Brian McFadden: Virginia's got a weird system in place. It's not the controlling party that creates the districts. It was a…
• 47:07
  Brian McFadden: Third.
• 47:07
  Testecleese: party.
• 47:08
  Brian McFadden: A third party that did it, you know.
• 47:11
  Ron Pascoe: I suppose.
• 47:11
  Brian McFadden: to be independent.
• 47:12
  Testecleese: It's, like, honestly, it's, like, the fairest map I've ever seen.
• 47:17
  Testecleese: for districting in this country. The way Virginia…
• 47:20
  Brian McFadden: Well, I'm.
• 47:21
  Ron Pascoe: Pretty cool.
• 47:21
  Ron Pascoe: Wasn't it?
• 47:22
  Testecleese: It's 6'5", it's at, like, 54% and, like, 46% or somewhere. You know what I mean?
• 47:29
  Brian McFadden: He won by 14,000 votes.
• 47:32
  Brian McFadden: So…
• 47:33
  Testecleese: Exactly 14,000, did you notice that?
• 47:36
  Brian McFadden: Yes, it's amazing.
• 47:38
  Testecleese: As if someone just typed in 14,000, because someone said, I don't know, I had, like, 14K, and they didn't think to make it a fucking random 14,000 number, like 14,112. You know what I mean?
• 47:50
  Ron Pascoe: Do you know, coming doodles or not?
• 47:53
  Testecleese: Exactly! Well, one county… okay, check this out. I think all counties had all the votes counted within an hour of the polls ending, except for one county that hadn't had a single vote counted yet.
• 48:05
  Brian McFadden: And they're… Imagineably, they're the ones that pushed it over the top.
• 48:08
  Testecleese: Opening with 14,000 votes!
• 48:11
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 48:11
  Testecleese: Wait!
• 48:12
  Brian McFadden: And not…
• 48:13
  Ron Pascoe: Not one no boat in there, not one no boat.
• 48:17
  Testecleese: Not one over, not two under.
• 48:19
  Brian McFadden: Well, the one court judge has blocked the certification, which is gonna get overturned.
• 48:26
  Testecleese: 4 hours! I love it.
• 48:28
  Brian McFadden: But this guy who was trying to block the vote, he was trying to even vote… block the election… the whole process.
• 48:35
  Testecleese: The vote from happening because it wasn't done properly.
• 48:38
  Testecleese: Right, because they… he has to pass…
• 48:40
  Brian McFadden: They did it during a special session, and according to the law, the way it's written, it has to be two consecutive actual legislation sections, not a special session.
• 48:53
  Testecleese: Then you have to be 90 days to hold the vote, too.
• 48:56
  Brian McFadden: And, so now we're waiting on the Supreme Court to rule on the case in Virginia, see what they say.
• 49:01
  Brian McFadden: It could get all thrown out, it could not, you know, it's hard to say.
• 49:07
  Ron Pascoe: It's unconstitutional, isn't it?
• 49:09
  Testecleese: Well.
• 49:10
  Brian McFadden: You would think.
• 49:11
  Testecleese: It is under Virginia's Constitution, yes.
• 49:15
  Testecleese: And here's the thing, is a lot of people are… I've already heard people saying this is gonna go up to the federal Supreme Court, and I'm like, no, it's not.
• 49:20
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 49:21
  Testecleese: It won't get past the projection.
• 49:23
  Brian McFadden: Federal will not…
• 49:24
  Testecleese: They weren't even here.
• 49:25
  Brian McFadden: won't touch it, because it's a state's rights issue.
• 49:29
  Brian McFadden: Desire this thing.
• 49:30
  Testecleese: States can decide how they vote. Them violating their own laws is not the federal.
• 49:35
  Brian McFadden: I'm not afraid of a problem.
• 49:36
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's not a federal problem, exactly.
• 49:40
  Testecleese: But I mean, they misled people on what your vote meant, because they made it sound like they were going to stop.
• 49:45
  Brian McFadden: See the actual… I mean, I…
• 49:47
  Testecleese: I saw the map!
• 49:48
  Brian McFadden: Well, that, and I went and voted before I moved to Michigan. I'm still technically a Virginia resident, I have not switched my residency yet.
• 49:57
  Brian McFadden: But, that… I had to read through that ballot question, like, 5 times, even though I knew which way to vote, but it was so ambiguous, the way they wrote it, that the average person that doesn't follow politics wouldn't have a clue what to vote for.
• 50:14
  Testecleese: Well, they would, they would think that you're gonna stop gerrymandering by voting yes.
• 50:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 50:20
  Ron Pascoe: Boy, the cold call…
• 50:21
  Brian McFadden: That's what we're doing, gerrymandering.
• 50:23
  Ron Pascoe: a fair process, but then we're going back to the way it was, you know what I mean? That's… that's what I was saying.
• 50:28
  Ron Pascoe: It was all bloody misleading. Every part of that was misleading.
• 50:31
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah. Oh, that's actually one of the things the judge brought. A CNN analyst even said that. He's like, they clearly misled the people on what they were voting for. He goes, that has a chance in court?
• 50:43
  Testecleese: a chance. He goes, the real thing is that they broke all of their own laws, and the Supreme Court's going… their Supreme Court is going to have to acknowledge that they didn't do it the proper way.
• 50:51
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 50:52
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 50:53
  Brian McFadden: But it's still a long shot.
• 50:55
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 50:56
  Brian McFadden: I don't have a whole lot of hope for the Virginia State Supreme Court.
• 50:59
  Testecleese: I have no idea what Virginia Supreme Court looks like, honestly. Not even a guess, but it's tough to just flat-out ignore
• 51:07
  Testecleese: all of the rules, you know what I mean?
• 51:12
  Testecleese: But…
• 51:13
  Testecleese: Basically, I mean, that's what the court's there is for, is to stop everyone else from just ignoring the rules and do what they want, just like what happened with COVID, with the lockdowns. They shut down churches!
• 51:22
  Testecleese: You are not allowed to shut down a church, ever, for any reason, unless there's, like, a bomb in there, or a gunman, you know what I mean?
• 51:29
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 51:30
  Testecleese: And I don't know if
• 51:31
  Testecleese: thing in Australia, but yeah, you can't shut down churches. At all. They have… the government has no authority over the church.
• 51:38
  Ron Pascoe: No. That's when COVID came in, mate, there was a lot of uproar. It's still going on.
• 51:44
  Brian McFadden: So, there was a couple… there's a couple people in Congress that have… Pointed out some history
• 51:51
  Brian McFadden: That has been forgotten in the past.
• 51:55
  Brian McFadden: that basically… there was a good section of Northern Virginia that was originally part of the District of Columbia.
• 52:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, DC used to be a square.
• 52:06
  Brian McFadden: And part of it was given back to Virginia by Abraham Lincoln, and they don't think it was done properly.
• 52:15
  Brian McFadden: Well, what's interesting is… So, they're recommending that, Trump create an executive order.
• 52:22
  Brian McFadden: Giving this land back to the District of Columbia.
• 52:26
  Brian McFadden: These people in the Northern Virginia area align better with the district anyway.
• 52:31
  Brian McFadden: And this will create a court fight that, you know, could make Virginia an actually more equitable state for the rest of the population.
• 52:42
  Testecleese: And wouldn't that put the National Cemetery back in DC?
• 52:46
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 52:47
  Testecleese: Because right now, it's Arlington, Virginia, right?
• 52:50
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 52:51
  Testecleese: Where we bury our most honored… of honored vets, right?
• 52:55
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 52:58
  Testecleese: Hey, repeat offender, when you were in the States, did you get a chance to get to DC at all?
• 53:04
  Ron Pascoe: No, mate, I didn't. That's one thing I wanted to do.
• 53:06
  Testecleese: I know, it's… you're like, oh yeah, well, I'll go there, we'll drive over there, and then you realize that, oh, the United States is fucking huge like Australia, you can't just drive from Texas to DC, you know?
• 53:16
  Ron Pascoe: I've got a few mates who've been driven over to America, mate, but yeah, no, we… we were just on timely, because we had to go around the world, but just speaking one, talking about, Arlington and that, just, you guys might know, but today's Anzac Day here in Australia, it's our Memorial Day.
• 53:29
  Testecleese: Oh, really? I'm familiar with the holiday, I didn't realize that was today.
• 53:34
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, we actually got the, Anzac Parade, like, all our armed forces are actually parading down Sydney, all major capitals, but yeah, it's one of the days that we hold sacred here.
• 53:43
  Ron Pascoe: It's just as sacred as bloody birth of Christ.
• 53:47
  Testecleese: Why, why?
• 53:48
  Ron Pascoe: Maybe even more, mate. Maybe even more.
• 53:51
  Brian McFadden: They're looking for nominations for my hometown's Memorial Day parade. I'm putting myself in.
• 53:58
  Ron Pascoe: Like, what are…
• 53:59
  Brian McFadden: Grand Marshal.
• 54:02
  Testecleese: Is that anything like the Grand Wizard?
• 54:04
  Brian McFadden: No, nothing like their envoys.
• 54:05
  Testecleese: I'm gonna…
• 54:06
  Brian McFadden: Riding a car, waving at people.
• 54:10
  Ron Pascoe: get some fun.
• 54:11
  Brian McFadden: If they accept…
• 54:12
  Ron Pascoe: See if you can get some funding before SPLC breakdown, mate.
• 54:16
  Testecleese: Hey, you should play the prodigal son angle, dude. Be like, I left to join the service, I spent some time exploring, I'm back, let me run this and do this for you. I have the wisdom and the experience.
• 54:32
  Ron Pascoe: The way of the world for his job.
• 54:36
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 54:36
  Ron Pascoe: Getting drunk in every different way.
• 54:39
  Testecleese: Did everyone get the Prodigal Son reference?
• 54:42
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 54:43
  Testecleese: Okay, because I bet you, I bet you most Christians wouldn't recognize that, let alone anyone who's not Christian.
• 54:50
  Ron Pascoe: Go and play off and come home and repent.
• 54:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's, that was… Old Testament, wasn't it?
• 54:57
  Brian McFadden: No, it's New Testament.
• 54:58
  Ron Pascoe: Is it New Testament?
• 55:00
  Brian McFadden: Okay, so the GOP… But now the GOP is trying to get Florida to do some redistricting.
• 55:08
  Testecleese: Why?
• 55:11
  Ron Pascoe: Florida, the only state that can do it now before the mid-teens.
• 55:15
  Testecleese: Well, that's the thing, is each state has their own rules on how they do it.
• 55:18
  Brian McFadden: It's hilarious, I'm looking at all these Facebook posts on how Virginia only did it because Texas started it, and the same people say, well, Texas got their own rules, we made them up to change it to do what we did, you know?
• 55:36
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 55:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, you guys have a process, and… and you know what? I don't think it was necessarily a great idea, but I heard a lot of people saying what Texas is doing is illegal, and I was like, how is it illegal?
• 55:48
  Testecleese: And they're like, well, you only… it's supposed to be every 10 years. They're like, that's when most states do it, is after the census. There's nothing in the federal law that says you can't… a state can't redistrict
• 55:58
  Testecleese: every year if they want to. It depends on what the states…
• 56:02
  Brian McFadden: It's a federal thing, it's a state thing.
• 56:03
  Testecleese: It's a state thing, and Virginia's rules said that this is how we do it, and they said, fuck all that, we're gonna do it anyway.
• 56:12
  Ron Pascoe: It comes down to your state's legislators, doesn't it? What's already down in the.
• 56:16
  Brian McFadden: I thought gerrymandering was illegal by the Supreme Court, but apparently not, because all the northeastern states have already done it, and nobody cares about that.
• 56:26
  Testecleese: Can you prove.
• 56:27
  Brian McFadden: California to do it some more, you know?
• 56:30
  Ron Pascoe: Well, imagine if you split California in half, East and West. Imagine how many of the.
• 56:33
  Testecleese: I wouldn't know if it's out.
• 56:35
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, California West. Imagine how many seats other Republicans would pick up.
• 56:41
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 56:44
  Testecleese: Massachusetts threatened to do this, and I was like, I hope you do!
• 56:48
  Brian McFadden: We'll get more Republican seats.
• 56:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was like, you have a 40% or 48% Republican vote in Massachusetts and don't have a single representative. You might accidentally get a Republican congressman if you redistrict, you know?
• 57:01
  Ron Pascoe: That's the hardest thing to grasp, like, somebody like me trying to grasp. Like, just say you've got a state, for example, like Virginia, it's close, like, it's 51, 49, Democrat, Republican, you know what I mean?
• 57:12
  Testecleese: It is very close, yes.
• 57:14
  Ron Pascoe: Then you only get, what, the Republicans will only get one seat in Congress.
• 57:18
  Ron Pascoe: Like, how does that work in the Republic?
• 57:20
  Testecleese: With this new map, they would only get one… Well, here's the thing, is they had 5 districts going into Alexandria that split out and went out into the conservative areas, so the dense population of the big city.
• 57:32
  Testecleese: would overwhelm all of the, veterans in the Hampton Roads, Norfolk area. It would wipe out.
• 57:40
  Brian McFadden: Is it quite nice.
• 57:41
  Testecleese: near the mountains.
• 57:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, only place that's a Republican represented now is, the western start of the pace. I was gonna say, right next to West Virginia?
• 57:50
  Testecleese: Yup!
• 57:51
  Ron Pascoe: So, you make all the Republican counties one… one seat, so is that average?
• 57:57
  Testecleese: And here's what's even crazier, is West Virginia has offered to take these counties into West Virginia, from Virginia. All these people have to do is vote.
• 58:06
  Testecleese: And could you imagine? Watch Virginia go from 50-50 to ALL blue.
• 58:13
  Testecleese: That would be wild to watch that happen.
• 58:18
  Ron Pascoe: So, down in Florida, for example, right? Now.
• 58:21
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, they've got the right to redistrict. That means they can wipe out all Democratic seats, can't they?
• 58:27
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, here's what you do. You are not even… for Republicans.
• 58:32
  Testecleese: Trump could make this happen, and check the… I'll show you exactly how.
• 58:37
  Testecleese: Juba's ours now.
• 58:40
  Testecleese: Added into Florida.
• 58:42
  Testecleese: Because… and I don't want to hear that the landmass has to be connected. One, there's Hawaii, there's the Aleutian Islands, all the islands on the coast. Michigan is split into two pieces. Isn't one of the… one of the lakes separate a piece of Michigan from the rest of Michigan?
• 58:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, there's a bridge.
• 58:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, yeah, exactly, the Aleutian Islands, well, Oh, that's just…
• 59:02
  Testecleese: I'm referring to, separate land masses versus, versus states touching each other.
• 59:09
  Testecleese: But yeah, they could add Cuba into Florida, add all that population in, redistrict, and BOOM! And let's be real, how many Cubans are gonna vote for socialism?
• 59:24
  Brian McFadden: many.
• 59:24
  Testecleese: No, they build rafts out of car tires to float to Florida to get away from it, you know?
• 59:31
  Ron Pascoe: Build a breach.
• 59:33
  Testecleese: And you know what? The Cubans, the Cubans that escaped, those are the folks I am more than happy to give asylum to.
• 59:38
  Testecleese: We actually are the closest safe port, and they are being oppressed by their government.
• 59:45
  Testecleese: I like the wet feet, dry feet policy, Ed.
• 59:48
  Testecleese: Actually, to the point, I would even go as far as to say, even if you show up still wet from swimming 90 miles.
• 59:56
  Testecleese: You get to stay. We'll give you asylum.
• 1:00:00
  Testecleese: But you can't just drive across the border because, you have better economic opportunities, or you can live off the United States government. That really pisses me off.
• 1:00:09
  Brian McFadden: Gray.
• 1:00:10
  Testecleese: Like, you guys want free healthcare, but you're giving it to the illegal immigrants instead of yourself.
• 1:00:15
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:00:19
  Testecleese: This is odd.
• 1:00:21
  Testecleese: California's got a $2 billion budget issue, like, an accounting error.
• 1:00:27
  Brian McFadden: It's been hidden, it's been hidden for months.
• 1:00:30
  Testecleese: And yeah, they knew, Newsom knew about it, I guess. But what does this mean? Do they have $2 billion more than they thought, or less?
• 1:00:36
  Brian McFadden: That's what they call it.
• 1:00:37
  Testecleese: Or they spent $2 billion and they don't.
• 1:00:39
  Brian McFadden: Of course not! It's always to the negative.
• 1:00:43
  Testecleese: So they spent $2 billion, and they have no idea where it went.
• 1:00:49
  Testecleese: But there's no… but California is also passing a law that makes it illegal to ask why.
• 1:00:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, because they don't want… we talked about that on the last show, you know, they can't do investigations.
• 1:01:01
  Testecleese: You can't investigate fraud. It's like, what? Like, oh, by the way, we lost $2 billion. What!
• 1:01:07
  Brian McFadden: Can't investigate it.
• 1:01:09
  Ron Pascoe: Another certified accountant from the Learing center?
• 1:01:12
  Testecleese: No, but this just… all I could think of was, when they said you can't investigate fraud, all I could think of was, 1950s Chicago.
• 1:01:22
  Testecleese: With, like, the mob running the government?
• 1:01:27
  Testecleese: Oh my god, it's like, no, no, you can't look at our books, see? You know?
• 1:01:32
  Brian McFadden: Nothing to see here.
• 1:01:34
  Testecleese: Oh, my goodness.
• 1:01:36
  Testecleese: And what's, okay, some DHS official… Cute girl, I guess.
• 1:01:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, poor guy.
• 1:01:45
  Testecleese: I doubt that's a word.
• 1:01:46
  Brian McFadden: The sugar daddy relationship.
• 1:01:48
  Testecleese: Oh, Sugar Daddy, yes. I'm saying the… This.
• 1:01:52
  Brian McFadden: I think the DHS.
• 1:01:53
  Testecleese: Julio.
• 1:01:54
  Brian McFadden: Daddy.
• 1:01:55
  Testecleese: Yeah, Julia Varv… yeah, oh yeah, she's 29. She received, Julia Varvara.
• 1:02:01
  Brian McFadden: Okay, in gifts and a 3-month relationship.
• 1:02:04
  Testecleese: Using a dating app. So what?
• 1:02:08
  Brian McFadden: There were… well, there was illicit drug use… Okay.
• 1:02:13
  Brian McFadden: you're a government official, I don't think you're still allowed to do drugs as a government official.
• 1:02:18
  Testecleese: They've thrown cocaine in the White House!
• 1:02:21
  Brian McFadden: That's alleged cocaine.
• 1:02:23
  Testecleese: No, no, no!
• 1:02:24
  Testecleese: cocaine!
• 1:02:25
  Brian McFadden: And it may or may not have existed. There's no proof that it actually existed.
• 1:02:32
  Testecleese: You had guys record…
• 1:02:33
  Brian McFadden: It's all been snorted.
• 1:02:35
  Testecleese: Two dudes!
• 1:02:37
  Testecleese: Two dudes who recorded themselves buttfucking on the Senate floor.
• 1:02:42
  Testecleese: Okay? Yep.
• 1:02:44
  Testecleese: You're gonna tell me that having a sugar daddy's a problem? I'm sorry, I…
• 1:02:49
  Ron Pascoe: And…
• 1:02:50
  Brian McFadden: Well, it depends on the administration, because a conservative administration might have a problem with that. A Biden administration may not. I believe that those two dudes were part of the Biden administration.
• 1:03:02
  Testecleese: Well, they were Democrat, aides that worked under the Senators, and they really worked under them.
• 1:03:13
  Testecleese: I just can't believe that got released, and everyone's like, yeah, so what? It happens, like, oh, it doesn't happen! Do this kind of stuff, are you kidding me?
• 1:03:22
  Testecleese: But yeah, the big deal is, she did some drugs, she got $40,000 in a couple months. The only real issue I would have with this is if it's swaying…
• 1:03:34
  Testecleese: her decisions in the government. As if, like, if she's being paid off to do certain things. Other than that, I don't give a fuck if she built some dumbass out of his… some wealthy, you know, hundred millionaire out of a couple thousand bucks because she keeps offering pussy that he's never gonna get.
• 1:03:52
  Brian McFadden: He may get it, though.
• 1:03:54
  Testecleese: Maybe, probably already did, but yeah, scroll down, she's not… not an ugly woman.
• 1:03:59
  Testecleese: The picture of her in front of the flag?
• 1:04:04
  Ron Pascoe: I… it's the oldest profession, it's happened since Adam and Eve.
• 1:04:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, isn't the first name mentioned in the Bible a prostitute?
• 1:04:14
  Brian McFadden: Probably. Eve.
• 1:04:16
  Testecleese: No, not in Genesis, New Testament, I mean, I…
• 1:04:22
  Testecleese: There's Mary Magdalene, I think Rebecca, spelled with a K and an H.
• 1:04:27
  Testecleese: Was a prostitute.
• 1:04:29
  Brian McFadden: Well…
• 1:04:30
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 1:04:30
  Brian McFadden: I don't know what Mary Pobish is doing, since he got rid of his Who's the Baby Daddy show.
• 1:04:36
  Testecleese: What's funny is I saw Mari Povich is still doing shit?
• 1:04:39
  Brian McFadden: He's got a podcast! Cousins!
• 1:04:43
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:04:45
  Testecleese: And then, then Joy Reed, I was like, oh my god, Joy Reed was on Maury Polvich? No fucking way.
• 1:04:51
  Brian McFadden: I couldn't resist!
• 1:04:53
  Testecleese: Brian's trying to make my head explode in rage.
• 1:04:55
  Brian McFadden: I am, I am.
• 1:05:00
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: do not play politics the way Republicans do. The difference between the parties, they do not, they do not. Democrats…
• 1:05:08
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: play by the Marquise to Queensbury rules. I think they do not… they're not rule breakers.
• 1:05:15
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: They're trying to tell me if this
• 1:05:17
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Democrats take the Senate in 2027. In 2027, and Alito retires, and Trump names a Supreme Court justice, that the Democrats are gonna have hearings and actually confirm him? I think they will. Or her? Because they don't do… Not a chance. I don't think…
• 1:05:38
  Testecleese: The Democrats already talk about packing the courts? Well, did you hear Carville?
• 1:05:43
  Testecleese: He's like, don't even tell anyone, just pack the courts and change all the rules and make it so the Republicans can never win again. And I was like.
• 1:05:51
  Testecleese: Wow, that's exactly what Spanberger's trying to do.
• 1:05:55
  Brian McFadden: But he, I mean, he raised the bullshit flag with her, it's like, you know, he didn't go very deep into it in that…
• 1:06:02
  Testecleese: I know, but I love it. He's like, oh, come on!
• 1:06:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:06:05
  Ron Pascoe: Those coins she's making, you don't have to go deep into it. She writes her own, he laughs, a joke. But the thing is, I don't know why the Republicans now get rid of this stupid filibuster, Save America Act.
• 1:06:17
  Ron Pascoe: Get that into law?
• 1:06:19
  Ron Pascoe: Mate, I can't see Democrats winning many, many bloody.
• 1:06:22
  Testecleese: You're already…
• 1:06:23
  Ron Pascoe: She's off the wall.
• 1:06:24
  Testecleese: SAVE Act, we already talked about the SAVE Act, and how.
• 1:06:26
  Brian McFadden: Mark.
• 1:06:28
  Testecleese: And I know.
• 1:06:29
  Brian McFadden: We couldn't even… we couldn't even get enough Republicans to put it into a…
• 1:06:33
  Brian McFadden: A budget reconciliation thing that wasn't gonna get… didn't need any support from Democrats to get approved.
• 1:06:39
  Testecleese: This doesn't even matter. The point is that they're intentionally not passing this stuff so that they have something to campaign on next time.
• 1:06:46
  Testecleese: As much as I think the Republicans are more sane than the Democrats, they're still fucking politicians, okay? They may as well be a non-profit organization, because, like, the SPLC, if they actually eliminate hatred in this country, they have to go out of business. That's why they have to go find it and manufacture it.
• 1:07:04
  Testecleese: to be able to stay in business.
• 1:07:07
  Ron Pascoe: That's where you can see the difference. MAGA hasn't really taken over the Republican Party, has it?
• 1:07:13
  Testecleese: only.
• 1:07:14
  Brian McFadden: Whoa!
• 1:07:14
  Testecleese: Popular with the moderate voter and your disaffected liberal.
• 1:07:19
  Testecleese: Look at how many people are jumping ship already. Look at, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson and all these other guys jumping ship because they see the mega ship going down.
• 1:07:28
  Testecleese: And they have to come out first.
• 1:07:31
  Brian McFadden: I don't even know if the megaship's going down, but I mean… When Trump needs office.
• 1:07:35
  Testecleese: It's gone.
• 1:07:36
  Brian McFadden: replacement to Trump. There is no… there's no replacement to Trump.
• 1:07:40
  Testecleese: There is not, he's a very unique character.
• 1:07:44
  Brian McFadden: You love them or you hate them?
• 1:07:46
  Brian McFadden: Nobody's warned you.
• 1:07:47
  Testecleese: Freakin' hilarious.
• 1:07:49
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, I love you, I love you. That's my favorite part.
• 1:07:51
  Testecleese: part of it is he's funny. Like, I love how he started finishing everything with, thank you for your attention in this matter.
• 1:07:58
  Testecleese: I love it! It's like everything he writes now ends with, thank you for your attention to this matter. I'm like, oh my god, I love this. It's hilarious.
• 1:08:06
  Ron Pascoe: Gavin Newsom tried to use it.
• 1:08:09
  Testecleese: Then you called women fat, ugly pigs. Only Rosie O'Donnell.
• 1:08:13
  Brian McFadden: Thank you for attention in this matter.
• 1:08:17
  Ron Pascoe: It's like…
• 1:08:17
  Testecleese: That's so hard when he said, only Rosie O'Donnell. I was like, oh my god!
• 1:08:21
  Ron Pascoe: You hear the one he did about Iran? When he bombed Iran? He goes, I'm doing so well, Iran. He says, I'm picking up their employment levels now. Wouldn't they get new leaders? Yeah.
• 1:08:33
  Testecleese: Oh.
• 1:08:33
  Ron Pascoe: I'm drinking, I've got records for him over there.
• 1:08:37
  Testecleese: All right, all right.
• 1:08:38
  Brian McFadden: And, we're moving on to Maine!
• 1:08:41
  Testecleese: Oh my god. This Platinner guy, I still can't believe…
• 1:08:46
  Brian McFadden: He's a…
• 1:08:46
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's Nazi tag!
• 1:08:49
  Brian McFadden: He's not elected yet, he's not elected, he's a candidate, underdog candidate in Maine.
• 1:08:56
  Testecleese: I… oh, okay, he got the nomination, I'm sorry.
• 1:08:58
  Brian McFadden: You got the socialist nomination.
• 1:09:03
  Testecleese: He's not running the socialist ticket, though, he's running as a Democrat, right?
• 1:09:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:09:08
  Testecleese: Yeah. I still can't believe they picked him out of all their possible candidates with a freaking Nazi Totem Kampf tattoo on his chest.
• 1:09:17
  Testecleese: And the guy was like, oh, I didn't realize that's what it was. You'd think in 20 years you would have found out what that tattoo was and removed it. I would have ex… we mentioned this before, I would have accepted it better had he said, well, I got… I went out to port with my boys, and we got really fucking drunk, and I came home with a stupid tattoo.
• 1:09:36
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:09:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:09:38
  Testecleese: I'm sure… I'm sure you remember this conversation, Brian, it's like…
• 1:09:41
  Brian McFadden: I'm gonna run against, Susan Collins.
• 1:09:44
  Brian McFadden: I know that. The rhino of all rhinos.
• 1:09:49
  Brian McFadden: She's the per- well, she's one of those Republicans that vote against everything that Trump wants.
• 1:09:54
  Testecleese: Well, if that's what Maine wants, that's what Maine wants. I can respect that, if she's representing her constituents, you know what I mean?
• 1:10:03
  Brian McFadden: I don't know that she is.
• 1:10:05
  Testecleese: I don't know either, but Maine… Maine is New England, and New England is very anti-Trump. If Trump told everyone to take a deep breath in…
• 1:10:13
  Brian McFadden: This guy said that if he gets elected, he's gonna call to investigate Trump and impeach two Supreme Court justices.
• 1:10:21
  Brian McFadden: When was the last time an actual Supreme Court justice was impeached?
• 1:10:25
  Testecleese: I don't know if it's ever happened, honestly.
• 1:10:28
  Testecleese: I have no idea.
• 1:10:30
  Testecleese: But they were talking about impeaching Bozberg, and wasn't that one,
• 1:10:35
  Testecleese: Roberts was like, hold on, hold on, let's take a step back.
• 1:10:39
  Testecleese: You know, it takes a lot to impeach a judge.
• 1:10:42
  Testecleese: This guy wants to be…
• 1:10:43
  Brian McFadden: It's a lot to impeach anybody.
• 1:10:47
  Brian McFadden: Two-thirds of the Senate have to vote for the impeachment.
• 1:10:52
  Testecleese: Of, a federal judge.
• 1:10:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:10:55
  Brian McFadden: Or president.
• 1:10:57
  Testecleese: Is that any… oh, okay, so that's anyone they want to…
• 1:11:00
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:11:01
  Testecleese: And a vote for impeachment just means that, okay, now a trial will begin, right?
• 1:11:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:11:06
  Testecleese: Okay. Because that's something a lot of people don't realize. They hear impeachment, and they think that means you're out of office.
• 1:11:12
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:11:15
  Testecleese: Clinton was impeached, wasn't he?
• 1:11:17
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:11:18
  Brian McFadden: Over lying to con… contempt to Congress. He lied to Congress.
• 1:11:23
  Brian McFadden: And the Mono Lewinsky thing, he said he never had sex with her in the Oval Office.
• 1:11:27
  Testecleese: I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
• 1:11:31
  Testecleese: I remember, actually, I actually brought this up to the wife.
• 1:11:33
  Brian McFadden: And then she saved the blue dress.
• 1:11:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, alright.
• 1:11:37
  Testecleese: Let me save the president's cum stain, right? Come on!
• 1:11:41
  Brian McFadden: It might be worth something someday.
• 1:11:44
  Testecleese: The things that might.
• 1:11:47
  Testecleese: Oh, but I remember talking to the wife about this, I was like, I don't know, he's the President of the United States, he wants to get a side piece.
• 1:11:53
  Testecleese: That's between him and his wife, and she was like, no, no, I get that. But the fact that it was in the Oval Office pisses me off.
• 1:11:59
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:12:01
  Testecleese: And I'm like, alright, I'll give you that one.
• 1:12:06
  Testecleese: I… I don't know…
• 1:12:10
  Testecleese: I don't know who was… else was impeached before that, honestly, in my lifetime, anyway.
• 1:12:18
  Brian McFadden: Let me look it up.
• 1:12:19
  Testecleese: I remember hearing that,
• 1:12:21
  Testecleese: Nixon was going to be impeached, and he resigned from office to avoid the impeachment.
• 1:12:28
  Testecleese: And I remember this specifically, that we talked about it on this show.
• 1:12:32
  Testecleese: how Nixon was gonna be impeached for wiretapping a single phone in a single hotel.
• 1:12:38
  Testecleese: And then Obama went and wiretapped
• 1:12:41
  Testecleese: Everyone's phone in the entire country.
• 1:12:43
  Brian McFadden: There's not that many presidents that have actually been impeached. Andrew Jackson.
• 1:12:47
  Testecleese: Really? Does it say.
• 1:12:48
  Brian McFadden: Bill Clinton, yeah, he was impeached over violations of the Tenure of Office Act and conflicts with Congress after the Civil War.
• 1:12:58
  Brian McFadden: Of course, he was acquitted by the Senate by just one vote.
• 1:13:01
  Testecleese: Wow, okay.
• 1:13:02
  Brian McFadden: Bill Clinton, impeached for perjury, acquitted by the Senate. Donald Trump, 2019 and 2021.
• 1:13:10
  Brian McFadden: Acquitted by, both times in the Senate, and Richard Nixon, not formally impeached.
• 1:13:16
  Testecleese: See, exactly. He was never actually impeached. So really, there's been 3 presidents. So Trump has 50% of the impeachments.
• 1:13:24
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:13:25
  Testecleese: in U.S. history.
• 1:13:26
  Brian McFadden: Thanks to Nancy Pelosi!
• 1:13:28
  Testecleese: No, that's… that's awesome! I want to make sure I remember this stat to bring up to everyone, be like, you hate Trump so much that he's been impeached half as many times as the entire country has.
• 1:13:42
  Ron Pascoe: Back-to-back impeachment champion.
• 1:13:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, back-to-back impeachment champs, yep.
• 1:13:50
  Testecleese: Oh my goodness.
• 1:13:52
  Testecleese: Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think Trump's necessarily the greatest president.
• 1:13:58
  Testecleese: But, we're in a situation that's unusual.
• 1:14:01
  Testecleese: And, fuck.
• 1:14:04
  Testecleese: Everyone keeps saying Trump was like, oh, he run no new wars, and yes!
• 1:14:08
  Testecleese: It was a big deal, and his first term, that's exactly what happened. But he also…
• 1:14:14
  Testecleese: got into politics over Iran and a nuclear weapon. This is when he became vocal against Obama and his, Iran deal, right?
• 1:14:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, boy.
• 1:14:23
  Ron Pascoe: This isn't a war.
• 1:14:24
  Brian McFadden: Well, it's a cash diaran.
• 1:14:26
  Testecleese: I know! Just little pallets of cash!
• 1:14:29
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. This isn't a new warbart. This has been going on for 47 years.
• 1:14:33
  Testecleese: Yes, but not… active conflict, and that's the thing, is Trump actually had the balls to do it.
• 1:14:39
  Testecleese: He's an old man who can't run for office again, he has no ambitions for more political anything.
• 1:14:45
  Testecleese: He's probably gonna work until he dies, because that's just the kind of person he is. You don't become a billionaire without being a workaholic.
• 1:14:51
  Ron Pascoe: Well, aren't you guys still unofficially at war with Korea, too, North Korea?
• 1:14:56
  Testecleese: No.
• 1:14:56
  Brian McFadden: Nobody is, because there's… it's… there is no declaration of peace. It's… we're… it's only, like…
• 1:15:04
  Testecleese: No, no, but we were never at war with Korea.
• 1:15:06
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:15:07
  Testecleese: No, officially, we weren't. The last time the United States was
• 1:15:11
  Testecleese: That war was World War II.
• 1:15:14
  Testecleese: Hmm. Now…
• 1:15:15
  Ron Pascoe: Brian, there's been no declaration of peace.
• 1:15:18
  Testecleese: But there's no declaration of war.
• 1:15:21
  Brian McFadden: I know.
• 1:15:21
  Testecleese: They were… they were police actions.
• 1:15:24
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:15:25
  Testecleese: I know, and that's the thing, is Congress once went all nuts over Trump doing this Iran thing, like, you know, blah blah blah blah. I'm like, shut the fuck up, you guys abdicated all of your authority when it comes to all of this shit decades ago.
• 1:15:39
  Brian McFadden: Yep. Yep.
• 1:15:40
  Ron Pascoe: He don't call the Constitution.
• 1:15:42
  Testecleese: No, yeah, and they're like, oh yeah, the president can just, you know, basically wage war for, like, a month before Congress has to step in.
• 1:15:50
  Testecleese: You know, it's like.
• 1:15:51
  Ron Pascoe: Worth one.
• 1:15:51
  Testecleese: What the… what the fuck, you know?
• 1:15:53
  Ron Pascoe: Well, that's why he's saying all the press conferences, I'm in no rush, because he's not actually firing on bloody Iran at the moment.
• 1:16:01
  Ron Pascoe: He's still got how many days left before he can, you know?
• 1:16:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, and…
• 1:16:06
  Testecleese: But yeah, that's what drives me nuts, is these folks have no idea what they're talking about.
• 1:16:10
  Brian McFadden: And I don't think the War Powers Act actually applied to this.
• 1:16:15
  Brian McFadden: Because I just looked it up. The president must notify Congress within
• 1:16:19
  Brian McFadden: 48 hours of deploying troops into combat or imminent hostilities. Troops can remain up to 60 days without congressional approval, and then there's an additional 30-day withdrawal period. We have not put troops on the ground in Iran.
• 1:16:37
  Testecleese: I was just saying, that's the 90 days I was talking about. But, exactly, Brian, troops was the key word there. There's no troops in Iran. Nothing says he can't just blow the fuck up, blow them the fuck up from the sky.
• 1:16:51
  Ron Pascoe: Didn't actually move bases away from Orient.
• 1:16:56
  Brian McFadden: We've evacuated all our civilian… all our dependents from all the bases in Iran… like Bahrain. It's only essential person only in Bahrain right now.
• 1:17:06
  Ron Pascoe: Thank you. Quitar, isn't it too?
• 1:17:08
  Brian McFadden: Yep, guitar's only essential person only.
• 1:17:11
  Testecleese: Guitar got hit hard.
• 1:17:14
  Ron Pascoe: Yay, Michael.
• 1:17:14
  Testecleese: natural gas fields.
• 1:17:15
  Brian McFadden: So did Bahrain.
• 1:17:18
  Testecleese: Well, yeah.
• 1:17:20
  Ron Pascoe: That was the worst mistake our ranchers have done.
• 1:17:23
  Testecleese: This is terrible, because these are our allies and our friends.
• 1:17:27
  Testecleese: But… That goes back to what I was talking about. Look at the pieces on the chessboard.
• 1:17:33
  Testecleese: Every major oil producer
• 1:17:37
  Testecleese: is on the side of the United States, or cut off from the world at this point.
• 1:17:42
  Testecleese: The United States is selling more oil now than it has since World War II.
• 1:17:46
  Brian McFadden: We got tankers coming to the U.S. to get oil.
• 1:17:49
  Brian McFadden: To take overseas.
• 1:17:50
  Testecleese: Typically, next month, there's only 4 super tankers that come…
• 1:17:54
  Brian McFadden: We talked about this on the last show.
• 1:17:56
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, now it's over 7 times as many already scheduled. Because there's no…
• 1:18:01
  Ron Pascoe: win.
• 1:18:01
  Testecleese: You can't get the oil from
• 1:18:03
  Testecleese: Iran, and the oil in Venezuela was controlled by the United States, too.
• 1:18:07
  Ron Pascoe: Well, we're now buying from you guys even more.
• 1:18:11
  Ron Pascoe: Exactly.
• 1:18:13
  Brian McFadden: You're gonna run out of oil soon, didn't ya?
• 1:18:15
  Ron Pascoe: Yep, we were down to 20-something days. It's supposed to be 90 days, like you guys know. Every country should be at 90.
• 1:18:22
  Ron Pascoe: we were down at 30, we've been at 30 for a long time. It went down to 22 days.
• 1:18:27
  Testecleese: Now you're going, oops.
• 1:18:29
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, we're up to 46. No, we've got enough oil here. We could produce… we've got two refineries.
• 1:18:35
  Testecleese: You could tap it, you could tap the oil, but Australia won't.
• 1:18:40
  Ron Pascoe: No, it's because the Greenie's in charge with the Labor Party.
• 1:18:42
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:18:44
  Ron Pascoe: What's happened?
• 1:18:45
  Brian McFadden: There's no way in Australia.
• 1:18:48
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, so he's a little bit.
• 1:18:50
  Testecleese: That's what gets me, though, is they say stuff like, we won't drill for it, we'll just buy it from someone else. It's like, it's the same fucking difference, it just costs you more money now.
• 1:18:58
  Ron Pascoe: Mate, we're one of the leading producers of bloody uranium. We could have bloody nuclear factories everywhere, power in Australia, costing us nothing.
• 1:19:08
  Brian McFadden: I freaking out.
• 1:19:08
  Testecleese: It's funny.
• 1:19:08
  Brian McFadden: Hopefully your power courier shows up.
• 1:19:12
  Ron Pascoe: Not in New Zealand.
• 1:19:14
  Testecleese: New Zealand is already out of oil, aren't they?
• 1:19:17
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, pretty close. Pretty close to it.
• 1:19:20
  Brian McFadden: They're all electric.
• 1:19:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, yo!
• 1:19:25
  Testecleese: Yes, I love that!
• 1:19:27
  Brian McFadden: And wind power! And wind power.
• 1:19:29
  Testecleese: I love that, exactly.
• 1:19:30
  Brian McFadden: The windmills on the top of all their cars to get them around.
• 1:19:34
  Testecleese: Actually, you know what's funny is I watched a YouTube video of a guy who… who…
• 1:19:39
  Testecleese: built exactly that, and I was like, this won't work.
• 1:19:44
  Testecleese: And, you know, a bunch… no, a bunch of the comments were like, oh, this should totally work, you know, I was like, no, no, law of conservation of energy. You can't get free energy. You can't drive a car to spin a windmill to drive the car. It just says, you know…
• 1:20:00
  Testecleese: Too much energy gets lost.
• 1:20:02
  Ron Pascoe: Get all of my rubber beads, mate, bloody whack them on. Straight away.
• 1:20:06
  Testecleese: Well, just like I saw a picture once of a guy who had his cell phone's flashlight on, on a solar battery.
• 1:20:12
  Testecleese: He had the flashlight pointed at the solar cells with his phone plugged into the battery. And I was like, that's not… that's not gonna work, dude!
• 1:20:20
  Testecleese: You're just draining them both slowly now.
• 1:20:27
  Ron Pascoe: You're gonna give him bloody.
• 1:20:31
  Brian McFadden: Common sense has gone out the window.
• 1:20:34
  Ron Pascoe: It's not as cold as they say, is it?
• 1:20:36
  Testecleese: And that's the thing, is that this is stuff people should have learned in school.
• 1:20:39
  Testecleese: There's no such thing as free energy. You can collect wind energy, but it's not free, something has to happen for the wind to happen, that's a change in pressure.
• 1:20:47
  Testecleese: And I… I don't know, because I… I can't possibly foresee.
• 1:20:52
  Testecleese: But if we go and try to harvest all of the wind on the planet, are we going to stop wind, therefore severely affecting weather?
• 1:21:03
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 1:21:05
  Testecleese: Because, I mean, if we want to go into the theoretical of what we could do, we could run all of the world's copper.
• 1:21:10
  Testecleese: in.
• 1:21:11
  Testecleese: basically ley lines from north to south, and you'd be able to plug in any electric device into the dirt, and it would work. Because of the magnetism of the planet would…
• 1:21:20
  Testecleese: Electrify the cables.
• 1:21:23
  Testecleese: But, if we did that, we might stop all seismic activity, or set it on overdrive and get volcanoes going everywhere, because we're.
• 1:21:30
  Brian McFadden: You have to be magnetic.
• 1:21:31
  Testecleese: field.
• 1:21:34
  Testecleese: You know? Theories are great, but you have to think about what might happen if you do this shit, you know what I mean?
• 1:21:41
  Ron Pascoe: You're still gonna have to pay guys to go up a ladder, mate, and cake up a couple of bloody oil cans, and…
• 1:21:46
  Ron Pascoe: Make sure those cylinders turn around still, and the bloody…
• 1:21:50
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:21:51
  Ron Pascoe: The blades and that still turn around?
• 1:21:53
  Ron Pascoe: That they don't seize up, you've got to get oil from the ground to do that.
• 1:21:57
  Testecleese: Oh, just like Greta Thunberg. What a giant piece of it.
• 1:22:00
  Brian McFadden: Why are we so pop… why is she so popular on the show?
• 1:22:03
  Testecleese: She's such a piece of shit.
• 1:22:05
  Testecleese: And, you know, I… I want to call her a fucking moron, but apparently, I'm not allowed to, because she's autistic, but stupid and autistic are not the same thing, and I don't know why they're put in the same category.
• 1:22:16
  Ron Pascoe: As long as you don't call her a fucking autistic moron, you could call her a fucking moron, mate.
• 1:22:21
  Testecleese: Well, no, that's what I said, she's… I want to just call her an.
• 1:22:23
  Brian McFadden: But… is she still being put up to all these things by her parents, or is she on her own now?
• 1:22:28
  Testecleese: the fucking boat across the Atlantic. It was a carbon fiber boat, which means you had to mine coal to get this motherfucker made, right?
• 1:22:37
  Testecleese: And then there were a bunch of diesel ships around her, making sure that she made it safely. I'm like, she has a bigger carbon footprint than I do, and I drive a 5.7L Hemi engine, you know what I mean?
• 1:22:50
  Ron Pascoe: Do you guys realize there's a flotilla of 70 boats about to leave Italy to go to Gaza?
• 1:22:57
  Ron Pascoe: They've now got a flotilla of 70 boats.
• 1:23:00
  Testecleese: Isn't… is this real…
• 1:23:01
  Brian McFadden: We're gonna get there.
• 1:23:03
  Testecleese: Is Israel still stopping that?
• 1:23:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:23:05
  Ron Pascoe: Mike, I don't know why.
• 1:23:08
  Testecleese: I just haven't heard anything going on with the whole Palestine thing in a while, honestly.
• 1:23:12
  Ron Pascoe: It was on the news the other day. They got a couple of people from Australia's going out there. I'm going, you fucking dickheads! The world stopped.
• 1:23:20
  Ron Pascoe: Trump's already got plans to put in bloody palaces there now. Bloody motels. Hotels!
• 1:23:27
  Testecleese: Trump Tower, maybe. Trump Tower!
• 1:23:29
  Ron Pascoe: Free Palestine with a Trump.
• 1:23:33
  Brian McFadden: Is that what Donald Trump Jr. is working on?
• 1:23:35
  Testecleese: Mara Gaza, alright?
• 1:23:39
  Ron Pascoe: Someone's gotta rebuild.
• 1:23:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, gotta build it back!
• 1:23:45
  Ron Pascoe: Better build back. Build back better.
• 1:23:47
  Brian McFadden: better.
• 1:23:52
  Testecleese: Oh, headset.
• 1:23:56
  Testecleese: Now you're allowed to have a personal firearm on base. We talked about that last week, right?
• 1:24:01
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I've heard the week before.
• 1:24:03
  Testecleese: Yeah, or maybe the week before.
• 1:24:05
  Testecleese: And, yeah, you're right, Guapo was here for that. And now they're abolishing the, mandatory flu vaccine.
• 1:24:15
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:24:15
  Ron Pascoe: I should.
• 1:24:18
  Brian McFadden: I haven't gotten… I've gotten one flu shot since I retired from the Navy in 2007.
• 1:24:24
  Testecleese: I have not had a single flu shot since I got out.
• 1:24:26
  Brian McFadden: That's how many times I've gotten the flu since I retired in 2007.
• 1:24:30
  Testecleese: Probably sooner.
• 1:24:31
  Ron Pascoe: start, when you got the.
• 1:24:33
  Brian McFadden: True.
• 1:24:35
  Testecleese: I mean, influenza, don't get me wrong, it can be pretty nasty. But usually, let's be real, it…
• 1:24:41
  Testecleese: Is it typically only fatal to, like, infants and the very elderly, right?
• 1:24:45
  Brian McFadden: So, I'm getting elderly, so I guess I gotta turn my flu shots back up again.
• 1:24:49
  Testecleese: Well, the problem with the flu shot is, they literally make a bunch of different vaccines, and then they guess which strain of the flu is gonna be prevalent this year, and they give you a shot of what they…
• 1:24:57
  Brian McFadden: I think they put it on a dartboard, don't they?
• 1:25:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, no, it's on a dartboard, and they use a big blowgun, like they're.
• 1:25:03
  Brian McFadden: We're freaking out.
• 1:25:04
  Testecleese: Aborigines, you know?
• 1:25:05
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:25:07
  Brian McFadden: You don't want to talk about the CIA agents in Mexico?
• 1:25:13
  Testecleese: Yeah, this was interesting.
• 1:25:16
  Testecleese: Apparently.
• 1:25:17
  Brian McFadden: I mean, the article I read originally did not say anything about him being CIA, but when they.
• 1:25:23
  Testecleese: government.
• 1:25:24
  Brian McFadden: If you're in Mexico, involved in shit, I'm like, that's CIA. There's no questions.
• 1:25:30
  Testecleese: And what's her… oh, geez, her name's in here, too.
• 1:25:33
  Testecleese: Shinebaum, is it?
• 1:25:36
  Testecleese: The president of Mexico?
• 1:25:39
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, that's… I don't think that's how I would say…
• 1:25:42
  Testecleese: Hold on, let me open the article, because I've been trying to remember her name for a while, because I remember, like, they have a white Jewish woman as president of.
• 1:25:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, Shine Bomb.
• 1:25:50
  Testecleese: Claudia Scheinbaum.
• 1:25:52
  Testecleese: I was like, a white Jewish woman is the president of Mexico, and I just thought that was hilarious.
• 1:25:57
  Testecleese: But she says, like, we didn't know anything about this.
• 1:26:01
  Testecleese: And… she made a big deal saying, if any foreign nation wants to do any kind of operations in our nation.
• 1:26:06
  Brian McFadden: We need to know about it.
• 1:26:07
  Testecleese: At least be aware of it.
• 1:26:10
  Testecleese: And that sounds like CIA, then, doesn't.
• 1:26:12
  Brian McFadden: And then this article did say that they did work for the CIA in counter-nicardic operations.
• 1:26:20
  Brian McFadden: But in the first article I read, they made it very… It was very vague, but…
• 1:26:28
  Testecleese: FOOKS!
• 1:26:30
  Brian McFadden: politically involved since, you know, my… since I joined the Navy in 1987, you know.
• 1:26:37
  Brian McFadden: I can read between the lines.
• 1:26:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know what those words mean. Exactly! I read an article similar, it might have been the same one. They called them government officials, and they, you know, this anti-Narco operations, like, okay, this is CIA, and then they're like, oh, Mexico didn't know anything about it? Definitely CIA!
• 1:26:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:26:58
  Testecleese: Yeah, but they got killed in… or they died in a car accident?
• 1:27:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:27:05
  Testecleese: Voila!
• 1:27:07
  Brian McFadden: How much did you think was…
• 1:27:08
  Testecleese: Think it was an accident?
• 1:27:10
  Brian McFadden: No, I don't think it was an accident, not at all.
• 1:27:14
  Testecleese: And here's the thing, was it the cartels that did it, or was this their, were they, labeled,
• 1:27:22
  Testecleese: Red, retired, extremely dead.
• 1:27:26
  Testecleese: Like, you know, like a burn notice, kind of.
• 1:27:28
  Brian McFadden: Right. Yeah.
• 1:27:31
  Testecleese: Like, was it, we sent you on this mission so we can kill you, because you know too much shit.
• 1:27:36
  Brian McFadden: I would put my money in… I would like to think it's cartels over that, but I don't know.
• 1:27:42
  Testecleese: I… I trust the CIA about as far as I can throw them, which is not very far.
• 1:27:48
  Brian McFadden: Well, George Bush was in charge of the CIA back in the day.
• 1:27:52
  Ron Pascoe: Senior.
• 1:27:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, no new taxes.
• 1:27:56
  Testecleese: And then, first thing he did? Raise taxes.
• 1:27:59
  Brian McFadden: And that's why he didn't get re-elected.
• 1:28:01
  Testecleese: Oh, it's funny, because I… this was before I was voting age, but I remember my mother going.
• 1:28:08
  Testecleese: But he said no new taxes! My father goes.
• 1:28:11
  Testecleese: Yeah, but he's a Republican, he just raised the old taxes. I was like… I was like, okay.
• 1:28:18
  Brian McFadden: No, it had nothing to do with him being a Republican, it had to deal with the fact that he trusts.
• 1:28:23
  Testecleese: There was no money.
• 1:28:23
  Brian McFadden: They told him… they told them to do no new taxes.
• 1:28:27
  Brian McFadden: He trusted people saying, oh, this won't affect your political career, but… They lied.
• 1:28:34
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, he pulled.
• 1:28:36
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I mean.
• 1:28:36
  Testecleese: harder.
• 1:28:39
  Testecleese: Which I…
• 1:28:40
  Testecleese: what I thought was gonna happen to Trump, honestly. I didn't think he was gonna come back and do two non-consecutive terms. I still don't think this gets… I still don't think this gets enough credit.
• 1:28:50
  Testecleese: He's only.
• 1:28:51
  Brian McFadden: Only one other president's done it, yep.
• 1:28:52
  Testecleese: Only Grover Cleveland has ever done this before.
• 1:28:55
  Brian McFadden: And I think, I think he's learned a lot in the 4 years he was off.
• 1:29:00
  Brian McFadden: You know, he's actually… he's definitely a totally different president this 4 years than he was the first 4 years.
• 1:29:05
  Testecleese: Oh, he didn't hire back John Bolton, for one. That's a good one, right?
• 1:29:10
  Ron Pascoe: He learned a lot, honestly, he did. Like, that first term, or the first term he got in, mate, he was fighting everyone. Like, he went in blindfold, he didn't really know what he was doing then.
• 1:29:21
  Testecleese: He thought he could do it like it was a business, which we should be able to do it that way.
• 1:29:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and that's why a lot of people voted for him for the first term, was because he was talked about being like a businessman and running the government like a business. He tried hard.
• 1:29:35
  Testecleese: But the government wouldn't let it happen.
• 1:29:37
  Brian McFadden: No, the Deep State would not let it happen.
• 1:29:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, the problem is, they say he never drained the swamp, but I think he did.
• 1:29:44
  Testecleese: The problem…
• 1:29:46
  Testecleese: No, the swamp creatures are still there, that's the issue. Now we know who they are and where they are, that's… but no one seems to care.
• 1:29:54
  Testecleese: It's like, now we know who the swamp monsters are.
• 1:29:58
  Ron Pascoe: I think he… what he did, I think he turned the light on so people… they could show themselves in the true light.
• 1:30:03
  Ron Pascoe: They're coming out, they're showing themselves, they're revealing who they are.
• 1:30:07
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:30:08
  Testecleese: Oh, just like the whole USAID thing, people were losing their minds over this.
• 1:30:13
  Testecleese: And I was like, why are we paying to have friggin' gay Sesame Street in Iran?
• 1:30:18
  Brian McFadden: Pakistan?
• 1:30:19
  Testecleese: Okay, I'm sorry, Pakistan's, like.
• 1:30:20
  Brian McFadden: I don't remember it. Why? It was an Islam country, and that's not gonna…
• 1:30:26
  Ron Pascoe: That's good.
• 1:30:27
  Brian McFadden: frowned upon in an Islam country.
• 1:30:30
  Testecleese: He's ain't all gay, no, like, actual, like, homosexual Sesame Street. And I was like, why am I paying for this? You know what I mean?
• 1:30:37
  Testecleese: If it was just Sesame Street in Arabic.
• 1:30:40
  Testecleese: Alright, I might… I might go for that, honestly. I might at least… not complain.
• 1:30:45
  Testecleese: But it's like, no, no, be gay. It's like, what the fuck? He's like, you know that, you know that these people just kill homosexuals. Iran claims to have zero homosexuals.
• 1:30:54
  Testecleese: In their entire country.
• 1:30:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they don't.
• 1:30:58
  Brian McFadden: Did they kill him!
• 1:31:00
  Testecleese: Though I still, I still think, I keep meaning to look this up, but I'm pretty sure Iran forces a, sex transition surgery for homosexuality. So now you're a woman and no longer gay.
• 1:31:12
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:31:13
  Ron Pascoe: But you look at… what was it, $200 million for one hand?
• 1:31:15
  Testecleese: That's a rock.
• 1:31:15
  Ron Pascoe: country for circumcisions or something, wasn't it?
• 1:31:18
  Ron Pascoe: Like, what?
• 1:31:18
  Testecleese: Maybe.
• 1:31:19
  Ron Pascoe: Like, what?
• 1:31:19
  Testecleese: Well, it depends on where you're going with… to do this circumcision funding, honestly. If you're in a first-world country, there's no need to fund this at all, any reason, period.
• 1:31:30
  Testecleese: Second world country, even… well, first world countries can afford it themselves. Second world countries, they have antibacterial soap.
• 1:31:38
  Testecleese: you don't need to do this. If you're going into, like, Somalia.
• 1:31:43
  Testecleese: Maybe because you're less likely to get a weird infection
• 1:31:47
  Testecleese: But all you need is an antibacterial soap.
• 1:31:51
  Testecleese: And you won't… you won't get nasty infections in your foreskin.
• 1:31:56
  Ron Pascoe: The point I'm trying to make, mate, like, if you guys really thought about how much money is getting spent, wasted, and used on fraud…
• 1:32:02
  Brian McFadden: It's a billion, it's tons of money!
• 1:32:05
  Ron Pascoe: terrain.
• 1:32:06
  Brian McFadden: And that's what Elon Musk tried to do in the government.
• 1:32:09
  Testecleese: That's why everyone hates Elon Musk, because he tried to…
• 1:32:12
  Testecleese: Bring some of this to light, and start cutting the spending.
• 1:32:15
  Testecleese: And everyone hated him for this. I'm like, why? Why do you want your tax money being wasted?
• 1:32:21
  Testecleese: It's like, why are we paying for fucking prawn to run on a treadmill?
• 1:32:26
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Why are we paying California?
• 1:32:27
  Testecleese: See how long a beagle can get eaten by mosquitoes before it dies. Like, that just sounds horrible. This sounds like Nazi experiments, like World War II Nazi experiments, when they would put a guy with his arm out in the frozen tundra of, Russia, and come back 6 hours later and hit it with a hammer and shatter it to see what happened.
• 1:32:46
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, California shit itself after Minnesota got raided.
• 1:32:51
  Testecleese: Especially with $2 billion missing!
• 1:32:55
  Ron Pascoe: That's why they went.
• 1:32:57
  Testecleese: They passed a law saying you're not allowed to look into the fraud.
• 1:33:01
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:33:02
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, what does that tell you? Here's the swamp.
• 1:33:04
  Brian McFadden: There's fraud. If you gotta have a law not to look into fraud, that means there's fraud.
• 1:33:09
  Testecleese: That means there's a lot of it, and it's high up.
• 1:33:12
  Ron Pascoe: I mean, he's coming in FBI.
• 1:33:15
  Testecleese: Yeah, but the thing is, the federal government doesn't have a whole lot of authority to investigate California for…
• 1:33:21
  Testecleese: misallocating California tax money.
• 1:33:25
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:33:26
  Ron Pascoe: down the IRS.
• 1:33:27
  Brian McFadden: Well, if they're misallocating federal funds, that's a whole different story.
• 1:33:30
  Testecleese: That's different, that's different.
• 1:33:32
  Testecleese: And IRS…
• 1:33:33
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, that's a good vote.
• 1:33:34
  Testecleese: That's, that's taxes.
• 1:33:38
  Testecleese: Department of Treasury.
• 1:33:40
  Testecleese: Would get involved if they're spending,
• 1:33:42
  Testecleese: Federal tax laws, which… they certainly are.
• 1:33:46
  Testecleese: I mean… Just like this whole,
• 1:33:50
  Testecleese: the federal government was funding Planned Parenthood, but…
• 1:33:54
  Testecleese: you know, federal dollars can't go to abortion. It's like, yeah, but that just means that they can pay for the… they can make the abortions free, because they're charging everyone else for the shit the federal government's already paying for.
• 1:34:06
  Testecleese: You know, it's like, it's the same thing. If you give them any money, you're effectively helping everything they do.
• 1:34:15
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:34:15
  Brian McFadden: Don't you love how, there's a whole new betting market out there now?
• 1:34:19
  Testecleese: Polymarket, and you know what? I meant to bring this up a couple times before, but a handful of people made a shit ton of money.
• 1:34:27
  Testecleese: over actions the United States has taken.
• 1:34:29
  Brian McFadden: Including this U.S. soldier who was using classified intel to win a 400… he won $410,000 on the Maduro raid.
• 1:34:41
  Ron Pascoe: Yay!
• 1:34:44
  Testecleese: Yeah…
• 1:34:45
  Brian McFadden: He may get a dishonorable discharge, but he's still got $400,000.
• 1:34:52
  Testecleese: And PolyMarket's illegal in the United States. He's either overseas or has a VPN.
• 1:34:59
  Testecleese: You and I cannot bet on PolyMarket.
• 1:35:01
  Testecleese: Legally.
• 1:35:02
  Testecleese: And technically, PolyMarket's not gambling.
• 1:35:06
  Testecleese: Technically, this is how they get away with all this shit they do.
• 1:35:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but if you're using classified information…
• 1:35:14
  Testecleese: Insider trading.
• 1:35:15
  Testecleese: Because that's how… that's how PolyMarket works. They're calling it, like, stocks. You're buying positions that… that go up and down, and you can sell your position to someone else as the value changes.
• 1:35:27
  Brian McFadden: Oga.
• 1:35:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, it's crazy shit.
• 1:35:30
  Testecleese: That's how they're getting away with it. So, that makes this insider trading, AND… You're leaking classified information.
• 1:35:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's the real problem.
• 1:35:40
  Testecleese: That's… might go to federal prison.
• 1:35:43
  Testecleese: Because what… what… 11 words.
• 1:35:46
  Testecleese: I know.
• 1:35:48
  Testecleese: You know what's… I still think it's hilarious? That the Navy the Navy Jail.
• 1:35:53
  Testecleese: It's the jail that everyone refers to when anyone goes to, military prisons.
• 1:35:58
  Brian McFadden: Fort Leavenworth?
• 1:36:01
  Brian McFadden: It says Ford. That sounds Army to me.
• 1:36:04
  Testecleese: That sounds Army, but I could have sworn Leavenworth… Leavensworth was, Navy.
• 1:36:10
  Testecleese: That's interesting, because yeah, armies are forts, Navy is, stations.
• 1:36:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:36:15
  Testecleese: Air Forces, bases, Marines are camps, right?
• 1:36:18
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:36:21
  Testecleese: Just a heads up to everyone who might… may listen to this show.
• 1:36:24
  Testecleese: They are different. Each… only the Air Force has bases.
• 1:36:30
  Testecleese: We may call it a Navy base, but it's not, it's a Navy… naval station.
• 1:36:35
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:36:35
  Testecleese: This is… I'm certain this is news to, the repeat offender over here.
• 1:36:40
  Ron Pascoe: No, no, no, we've got a similar thing with Australian defense forces, pretty much.
• 1:36:46
  Testecleese: Well, I'm just saying, they're not called base… only the Air Force has bases in the United States, but anyway.
• 1:36:52
  Testecleese: Check this out, Australia and Japan!
• 1:36:56
  Brian McFadden: Yep, big news!
• 1:36:57
  Testecleese: Have pulled their heads out of their asses.
• 1:37:00
  Testecleese: And gonna start building some fucking warships.
• 1:37:04
  Brian McFadden: Who's building them, Australia or Japan?
• 1:37:07
  Testecleese: I'm not sure.
• 1:37:08
  Ron Pascoe: Sure, but.
• 1:37:08
  Testecleese: I spent $7 billion worth of war.
• 1:37:11
  Brian McFadden: Japan's building them for Australia, I believe.
• 1:37:14
  Ron Pascoe: Yay.
• 1:37:14
  Testecleese: Really?
• 1:37:15
  Testecleese: I'm not surprised. The Japanese, because they didn't have a military so long, became very industrious to catch up. Once they realized in World War II, when they saw the technology the rest of the world had.
• 1:37:28
  Testecleese: They went, oh, shit, you know?
• 1:37:31
  Testecleese: And now look at you.
• 1:37:32
  Ron Pascoe: favorite one.
• 1:37:33
  Ron Pascoe: Do you know, you're right, mate. Now, to be fair, I think,
• 1:37:36
  Ron Pascoe: If I look back, mate, it was probably about 4, maybe 5 years ago?
• 1:37:41
  Ron Pascoe: We'll talk about AUKUS agreement between Australia, the UK, and you guys.
• 1:37:46
  Ron Pascoe: we're buying some of your subs from Great Britain and America. Yeah. We're not gonna… we're not gonna get those nuclear-powered subs for another…
• 1:37:54
  Ron Pascoe: 10 years, at least.
• 1:37:56
  Testecleese: And they're gonna be out of date by then.
• 1:37:58
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, exactly right.
• 1:38:00
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 1:38:01
  Ron Pascoe: Exactly right. New castle submarine will be through by then.
• 1:38:06
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, we're gonna have a new, shit, what, tr…
• 1:38:10
  Testecleese: The Boomers are Trident class, aren't they?
• 1:38:14
  Ron Pascoe: I think so, yeah.
• 1:38:16
  Testecleese: Yeah, because that was supposed to be the Trident attack, air, land, and sea.
• 1:38:21
  Testecleese: And yeah, that was how we launched nuclear missiles, was the Trident…
• 1:38:28
  Testecleese: Theory. Three ways to launch nuclear weapons.
• 1:38:32
  Ron Pascoe: We used to have so much shipbuilding, like, companies around Australia. Newcastle, where I live, we had one here.
• 1:38:38
  Testecleese: There's a lot of coastline!
• 1:38:39
  Ron Pascoe: But they got rid of them! They've all gone all overseas.
• 1:38:43
  Ron Pascoe: Why, why would ya?
• 1:38:45
  Ron Pascoe: This sounds like…
• 1:38:46
  Testecleese: It sounds like you guys are dealing with exactly what we were before Trump took office, and we're still dealing with, but it's getting better.
• 1:38:53
  Testecleese: All of our… Manufacturing jobs were going overseas, to… Chinese, to Indonesians, to Indians.
• 1:39:03
  Ron Pascoe: Yep.
• 1:39:04
  Testecleese: And, like, we could be making money on this ourselves. Instead, we want…
• 1:39:10
  Testecleese: We're gonna have people that are just fucking getting stoned and demanding the government give them a paycheck.
• 1:39:14
  Testecleese: He's like, why don't they fucking go work at Northrop Grumman?
• 1:39:18
  Testecleese: And… and build a warship. Oh, because you can't… because you have to have a clean drug test to work at Northrop Grumman.
• 1:39:26
  Ron Pascoe: No.
• 1:39:27
  Brian McFadden: Is that a possibility these days?
• 1:39:29
  Testecleese: Well, I know…
• 1:39:30
  Brian McFadden: Don't do drugs.
• 1:39:31
  Testecleese: Oh, I know that as a fact, though, because, I applied at Northrop Grumman. You failed. And, no, no, I passed my drug test, because I knew that they were gonna ask for a drug test to build fucking warships!
• 1:39:43
  Testecleese: But I ended up turning down the job anyway, because I knew that if I took a job
• 1:39:48
  Testecleese: building destroyers and aircraft carriers in Virginia, I'd be making decent money.
• 1:39:54
  Testecleese: like, real decent money, and I would never, ever leave Virginia.
• 1:39:59
  Testecleese: And I just… I didn't want to be stuck there forever, because I saw the tides turning.
• 1:40:04
  Testecleese: Back, a decade ago, you know?
• 1:40:08
  Testecleese: So I moved to Massachusetts.
• 1:40:12
  Testecleese: No.
• 1:40:13
  Brian McFadden: Makes total sense.
• 1:40:14
  Testecleese: Almost…
• 1:40:14
  Brian McFadden: The tide turned air 30… the tides turned air, like, 3 decades ago.
• 1:40:18
  Testecleese: I know, that's actually when I signed up for the service!
• 1:40:23
  Testecleese: Not quite, but getting close to it.
• 1:40:26
  Testecleese: But yeah, that was personal family issues. But yeah, then I… then I… I went and found… same… same ideas while you're up there in Michigan.
• 1:40:33
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:40:34
  Testecleese: But yeah, then I've… fuck, I was like, alright, I had enough of this, done my job.
• 1:40:39
  Testecleese: Found myself a nice little plot.
• 1:40:41
  Testecleese: Dude, check this out. Repeat offender, you might be interested in this.
• 1:40:47
  Testecleese: This is a plot of land about 30 minutes from my house for sale. It's, like, 18 and 3 quarters acres or something.
• 1:40:54
  Testecleese: Along the river…
• 1:40:55
  Ron Pascoe: Okay.
• 1:40:56
  Testecleese: So the river cuts right along the edge of it.
• 1:40:59
  Testecleese: Get stocked with trout every year for our fishing tournament.
• 1:41:04
  Testecleese: But that doesn't mean you can't fish.
• 1:41:06
  Testecleese: sell them for $17,500 US dollars.
• 1:41:11
  Ron Pascoe: All the jokes.
• 1:41:12
  Testecleese: 10 bucks an acre. Now, there's electricity to the site.
• 1:41:16
  Testecleese: But there's no structures built, the land has not been cleared.
• 1:41:20
  Testecleese: You have to put in your own septic. But that sounds like, something you would do to put it in, like, a campground or something, or even just sit on it as an investment on an American property and wait until…
• 1:41:31
  Testecleese: Society moves in and fucking sell for 20 times as much.
• 1:41:37
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, mate, you make a camslide out of it.
• 1:41:39
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, there's a lot, there's a.
• 1:41:41
  Testecleese: A lot of… there's a lot of campsites right around there.
• 1:41:44
  Brian McFadden: He already looked it up.
• 1:41:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. You didn't answer.
• 1:41:47
  Testecleese: I was thinking about hunting there, but there's houses right along the edges of the property.
• 1:41:53
  Testecleese: And I was like, I don't need that liability either.
• 1:41:57
  Testecleese: But I won't…
• 1:41:58
  Brian McFadden: Still do campsites there, you just undercut the other campsites around.
• 1:42:02
  Testecleese: undercut them, or set up an RV park.
• 1:42:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:42:06
  Ron Pascoe: We'll have to have a chat about your laws with a foreign event.
• 1:42:11
  Testecleese: I didn't hear a word of that.
• 1:42:18
  Testecleese: That was worse.
• 1:42:19
  Ron Pascoe: Cross, huh?
• 1:42:21
  Ron Pascoe: Generation.
• 1:42:23
  Ron Pascoe: A salon was thrown us from this.
• 1:42:28
  Ron Pascoe: We just love it.
• 1:42:29
  Testecleese: It sucks.
• 1:42:32
  Brian McFadden: I'm on Elon Musk Internet!
• 1:42:35
  Ron Pascoe: Stop.
• 1:42:35
  Testecleese: As you freaking glitch up and freeze, I love it.
• 1:42:39
  Brian McFadden: It's been pretty good all night, and I've been watching my speeds. My speeds are worse than last week.
• 1:42:47
  Brian McFadden: I think it has to deal with… we're doing this show at peak internet time, you know?
• 1:42:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, good boy.
• 1:42:55
  Brian McFadden: Evening, early evenings.
• 1:42:57
  Testecleese: I gotta, get myself a beer and, drain the lizard.
• 1:43:01
  Testecleese: But…
• 1:43:02
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 1:43:02
  Testecleese: bring up this next topic until you talk about it, try to be still talking about it when I come back, but I do not see this happening, but I totally understand why. I don't either. I totally understand why they're bringing it up.
• 1:43:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:43:14
  Brian McFadden: So, there's a Pentagon email floating around that is talking about floating the idea of suspending Spain from NATO,
• 1:43:24
  Brian McFadden: over the whole Iran situation, but it wouldn't just be Spain that would be suspended, it'd be a whole bunch of countries in NATO, because nobody wanted to help the U.S.
• 1:43:36
  Brian McFadden: with Iran. What do you think about that?
• 1:43:39
  Ron Pascoe: Mike will interview as well, because the Italian Prime Minister, had a part of a security bill.
• 1:43:49
  Brian McFadden: Oh, your internet's horrible right now. Turn off your video, try that.
• 1:43:53
  Ron Pascoe: Can you use what?
• 1:43:58
  Ron Pascoe: I'll turn this whole time.
• 1:44:03
  Brian McFadden: He's doing something with his internet, because his whole comment back to me was, like.
• 1:44:10
  Testecleese: Underwater.
• 1:44:10
  Brian McFadden: British. Yeah.
• 1:44:12
  Testecleese: And…
• 1:44:12
  Ron Pascoe: Excuse me.
• 1:44:14
  Testecleese: No…
• 1:44:16
  Ron Pascoe: Fair enough.
• 1:44:17
  Testecleese: Do you have a laptop?
• 1:44:20
  Ron Pascoe: I'll be used as all we could camp them while.
• 1:44:23
  Ron Pascoe: On Friday's a kid.
• 1:44:26
  Brian McFadden: It comes and goes, it comes and goes.
• 1:44:28
  Testecleese: I, I know.
• 1:44:29
  Brian McFadden: I mean, I always say, I don't think it's not… he's gone. He's coming back.
• 1:44:33
  Testecleese: I got a feeling, I got a feeling it's rebooting.
• 1:44:35
  Brian McFadden: Oh, I had him turn off his video, maybe that'll help.
• 1:44:38
  Testecleese: That… Does teams tend to help? Because that's a lot of data that doesn't need to be sent.
• 1:44:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:44:44
  Testecleese: Anyway, where did you get on this?
• 1:44:47
  Brian McFadden: I was, I was… go ahead.
• 1:44:49
  Testecleese: I'm assuming you just basically read the headline at that point?
• 1:44:52
  Brian McFadden: And I was saying, it shouldn't just be Spain that would be, ejected from… subsced from NATO. There's… most of the NATO countries shouldn't be in NATO, it's because nobody helped us.
• 1:45:05
  Testecleese: Correct! And that's a big issue, because I think it was last week or the week before, I brought up how a whole bunch of these countries were taking a victory lap over Iran.
• 1:45:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:45:14
  Testecleese: And it's like, you guys told us to get the fuck out of your country, we couldn't use our base in your country to do this operation. Which, by the way, I'm pretty sure United States Naval Station, even in Spain, is sovereign United States soil, isn't it?
• 1:45:27
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:45:28
  Testecleese: No? Is it their base, or is it…
• 1:45:31
  Brian McFadden: It's Airbase that we use jointly.
• 1:45:33
  Brian McFadden: Florida, Spain is their base.
• 1:45:36
  Testecleese: It's there, it's not ours, they just let us… Okay, okay, because I thought it was our station.
• 1:45:42
  Brian McFadden: No, that's why you can't pee on the trees on bays, because they're the king's trees.
• 1:45:46
  Testecleese: King's dreams, that's right.
• 1:45:48
  Testecleese: I…
• 1:45:50
  Testecleese: I remember when I found out Spain had a king, and I was like, really? And I was like, are you talking about, like, the king of, like, England? And they're like, no, no, no, this guy…
• 1:45:59
  Testecleese: the ruler. I was like, what the fuck?
• 1:46:03
  Ron Pascoe: Is it any better, lads?
• 1:46:05
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, well, that's much better.
• 1:46:06
  Testecleese: That's better.
• 1:46:07
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, well, you gotta realize Europe… all of Europe had their own kingdoms and that, too.
• 1:46:12
  Testecleese: I know.
• 1:46:12
  Ron Pascoe: Get back to what I said about Spain.
• 1:46:15
  Ron Pascoe: Italy look like they're going to get the boot as well, too, because they haven't paid their, defense money yet.
• 1:46:21
  Ron Pascoe: Tonado.
• 1:46:22
  Brian McFadden: Oh, sounds like Canada.
• 1:46:24
  Testecleese: It's not even pay it to NATO, you don't pay it to NATO. You're supposed to invest it in your own defense…
• 1:46:31
  Ron Pascoe: I haven't done.
• 1:46:32
  Testecleese: So that everyone can fight.
• 1:46:34
  Ron Pascoe: Well, they haven't done it, mate, so Trump's pushing to get them out.
• 1:46:37
  Testecleese: Well, let's be real, who in the world is… I mean, what, France has.
• 1:46:42
  Brian McFadden: I know what he was before Trump became president 8 years ago.
• 1:46:46
  Testecleese: Yeah, but France has one carrier, right? China, I think, just built their second, and it's one of these flat-top supercarriers.
• 1:46:53
  Testecleese: How many does Australia have?
• 1:46:56
  Ron Pascoe: Well, we haven't gotten over. We used to have one Air Force carrier, air carrier, but, we got none, but you look what happened in the UK, England. England used to have one of the biggest navies getting around.
• 1:47:06
  Testecleese: Oh, it was the biggest in the world for a very long time.
• 1:47:09
  Ron Pascoe: They had to borrow a vessel from Germany not long ago.
• 1:47:12
  Ron Pascoe: This is one of their… some of their boats have been repaired. But the thing is, did you see what Russia did? Russia sent a bloody…
• 1:47:19
  Ron Pascoe: A naval vessel.
• 1:47:21
  Ron Pascoe: When, UK said they were going to do a blockade or something.
• 1:47:25
  Ron Pascoe: Russia sent one between… yeah, set a vessel between, the British Channel, French Channel.
• 1:47:32
  Testecleese: What were they blockading? Just the English Strait?
• 1:47:36
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, they were gonna go over… no, they were gonna go over to, Moran.
• 1:47:41
  Ron Pascoe: France and England. We're gonna send a… Some boats over.
• 1:47:45
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:47:45
  Ron Pascoe: Like, at the end of the war. And anyway, they don't know about Russia getting oil and all that sort of shit.
• 1:47:51
  Ron Pascoe: So Putin sent one of the bloody Russian boats right through the bloody English Channel.
• 1:47:56
  Testecleese: And they did nothing to stop it, did they?
• 1:47:58
  Ron Pascoe: Can't do nothing to stop it, mate.
• 1:48:01
  Testecleese: That's something I want to bring up, too, is that,
• 1:48:05
  Testecleese: heard a lot of people saying, like, this wouldn't have happened under Hillary Clinton had she won the first.
• 1:48:08
  Brian McFadden: I was like, she won't.
• 1:48:11
  Testecleese: a no-fly zone over Syria, which would have been a declaration of war on Russia.
• 1:48:17
  Testecleese: Because no-fly zone means you shoot down anything in the fucking sky that's not yours, right?
• 1:48:22
  Ron Pascoe: Yep.
• 1:48:23
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:48:24
  Testecleese: You shoot down a couple fucking MiGs, and I'm pretty sure Russia's gonna be pissed off, you know what I mean?
• 1:48:29
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah.
• 1:48:33
  Testecleese: Oh, my criminate!
• 1:48:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, Hillary… Hillary's a super warhawk.
• 1:48:39
  Testecleese: But we came, we came, we saw he died.
• 1:48:43
  Brian McFadden: What does it matter?
• 1:48:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, what difference does it make now, anyway? It's like, what the fuck, lady!
• 1:48:51
  Ron Pascoe: Don't come. Don't come.
• 1:48:54
  Testecleese: That's Kamala.
• 1:48:55
  Ron Pascoe: I know, but I'm just telling you, don't come, don't come.
• 1:48:59
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:49:01
  Testecleese: By the way, I'm a little, a little peeved…
• 1:49:04
  Testecleese: That we had the end of our intro thing with don't come, don't come, then Trump going, I'm gonna come!
• 1:49:11
  Testecleese: We had that probably 2 years before anyone else put those clips together.
• 1:49:16
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:49:17
  Testecleese: And then all of a sudden, it was everywhere, wasn't it?
• 1:49:19
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:49:20
  Testecleese: I was like, oh, they stole my fucking intellectual property, motherfucker!
• 1:49:26
  Brian McFadden: I didn't.
• 1:49:26
  Ron Pascoe: You should go to Copyright.
• 1:49:28
  Testecleese: what the issue is. I should've caught… next time I actually get around to fix…
• 1:49:32
  Brian McFadden: We could have made it… we could have actually been paying for this show, you know? We could have been making money.
• 1:49:37
  Testecleese: for it alone.
• 1:49:38
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:49:42
  Testecleese: But yeah, I was like, well, fuck it! But the thing is, Brian, we're always way ahead, aren't we? Because we follow this shit. Yeah. And how many… what, we named at least two episodes, We're From the Future?
• 1:49:53
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, at least two.
• 1:49:56
  Testecleese: Ugh.
• 1:49:58
  Testecleese: But yeah, Spain's not getting kicked out, because even if Spain is a bunch of pussies when it comes to conflict, combat, rather.
• 1:50:06
  Testecleese: It's still better than not having them, unless they're shooting at you, too, you know what I mean?
• 1:50:12
  Ron Pascoe: Mate, let's face it, if you guys pulled out NATO, NATO would be nothing.
• 1:50:16
  Testecleese: Brian said, he said it would dissolve within, like, 6 months.
• 1:50:19
  Brian McFadden: I mean, Trump's talking about it, but, you know, I'll believe it when I actually see it.
• 1:50:24
  Testecleese: Well, here's the thing, is you go ahead and you pull out, right?
• 1:50:27
  Testecleese: Let NATO stew for a couple months, screaming at the United States?
• 1:50:31
  Testecleese: And then they're all gonna come together and say, what do we gotta do to get the United States back in NATO?
• 1:50:37
  Testecleese: And you know that's exactly what would happen, right? Right.
• 1:50:41
  Testecleese: Trump could lay down a charter.
• 1:50:44
  Testecleese: This is what we demand of everyone who's gonna participate in this.
• 1:50:48
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:50:48
  Testecleese: Finally, I'm picking on Australia, but you know that's not picking on you. You know, this is different.
• 1:50:54
  Ron Pascoe: No, I know, I know.
• 1:50:55
  Testecleese: Just, like, picking on… Just like picking on Israel is different than picking on the Jews.
• 1:51:00
  Testecleese: But Australia finally was like, fuck, maybe we do need to put some money into defense. It's like, we're all the way over here, all by ourselves, with China right the fuck there.
• 1:51:11
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I think they come down to the AUKUS agreement, mate, the AUKUS PAC, because, you know, like.
• 1:51:16
  Ron Pascoe: Our government's been left… left learning for a long time.
• 1:51:20
  Ron Pascoe: And they're not big on that, mate, honestly. But it's our Conservative side, like you guys, that want our defense forces built up.
• 1:51:27
  Ron Pascoe: And… It's too late once the war starts.
• 1:51:30
  Testecleese: Isn't it?
• 1:51:31
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, that's right. I'm just gonna catch.
• 1:51:33
  Brian McFadden: Owen.
• 1:51:33
  Ron Pascoe: really quickly. I've seen this Terence K. Williams on Facebook, he put down, he goes, Australia's talking about, you know, not inviting the Trumps or whatever to Australia. And I put a comment up, and I said, no, mate, it's not Australian people. I said, the majority of Australian people want Donald Trump as our Prime Minister.
• 1:51:51
  Ron Pascoe: We need a guy like Trump here. It's our government who don't want him here, because he'll be showing… he'll show them up for the bloody losers that they are. Pathetic traitors that they are.
• 1:52:03
  Ron Pascoe: You know? They've got to… they gotta get that right. It's not the majority of Australians are doing here, it's the politicians.
• 1:52:10
  Testecleese: Well, just like the SAVE Act.
• 1:52:12
  Testecleese: even 70% of Democrat voters, registered Democrat voters, were on board with the, you need ID to vote, but the politicians didn't pass it.
• 1:52:21
  Ron Pascoe: That's right!
• 1:52:24
  Ron Pascoe: Aren't they there to do the will of the people?
• 1:52:27
  Testecleese: That's the idea, for the people, by the peop- or of the people, by the people, for the people, right?
• 1:52:33
  Brian McFadden: Good thing.
• 1:52:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, and the problem is, someone who actually wants to…
• 1:52:38
  Testecleese: Okay, the real problem is anyone…
• 1:52:40
  Testecleese: Who would usually… let me… I'm trying to find the right words.
• 1:52:44
  Testecleese: The kind of person you want to serve in Congress or Senate.
• 1:52:48
  Testecleese: is not the kind of person who's gonna run for Congress or Senate.
• 1:52:52
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:52:53
  Ron Pascoe: Yep.
• 1:52:54
  Testecleese: Like, I'd like to see me as representative, because I know I agree with me, you know what I mean? I don't want that fucking job.
• 1:53:03
  Brian McFadden: You would hate yourself in that job. I would hate it.
• 1:53:08
  Testecleese: bad job.
• 1:53:10
  Ron Pascoe: The guy's really changed my opinion is that John Fetterman. Honestly, I… I didn't really like him at first, but I've changed.
• 1:53:15
  Testecleese: The stroke. The stroke actually, woke him up a little bit, I think.
• 1:53:20
  Ron Pascoe: Well, I think he's always been that way. I think he's got good values, and I think he's got good.
• 1:53:25
  Testecleese: He comes from a work… he grew up in a working-class family in the steel mills.
• 1:53:30
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, and I think he's got common sense, too.
• 1:53:31
  Testecleese: Yes, yes. But what… the only thing that really bothered me about him getting elected was the fact that he couldn't speak.
• 1:53:39
  Testecleese: when he got elected, because of the stroke. I'm like, come on, guys. The guy can't speak, how is he possibly gonna do this job properly, you know what I mean?
• 1:53:49
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:53:51
  Testecleese: But yeah, he's… there's no way he's getting re-elected after the stuff he's been saying and doing. There's no way the Democrats are gonna put him back in the… I mean, granted, it would be Pennsylvania doing it, and Pennsylvania is,
• 1:54:03
  Testecleese: blue…
• 1:54:05
  Testecleese: ish, I guess? It's more blue than red, but… Yeah, it's definitely purple, but it leans a little more Democrat than Republican, and…
• 1:54:16
  Testecleese: Unfortunately, you tend to get the whack job, Democrats win office.
• 1:54:22
  Testecleese: More often than not.
• 1:54:25
  Testecleese: And I think lately that has a lot to do with the fact that, the Democrats have gone so fucking off the rails.
• 1:54:32
  Testecleese: That anyone who… agreed with the 90s liberal Democrat, like, Trump, for example.
• 1:54:40
  Testecleese: Has shifted parties, or at least gone independent.
• 1:54:44
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. We find a lot of Democrats are now starting to say that too, saying the Democratic Party aren't what they used to be.
• 1:54:51
  Testecleese: Well, that's what's crazy is the Republican Party right now is insanely disliked.
• 1:54:56
  Testecleese: But the Democrat Party is more disliked.
• 1:55:00
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:55:01
  Testecleese: It's like, you guys…
• 1:55:01
  Ron Pascoe: So anyway.
• 1:55:03
  Testecleese: stand for anything, dude!
• 1:55:05
  Testecleese: They literally have no platform to stand on for the last 10 years besides, I hate Trump.
• 1:55:11
  Ron Pascoe: Or, or racism.
• 1:55:13
  Testecleese: Well, which is, I hate Trump, because Trump's a giant racist, right?
• 1:55:18
  Ron Pascoe: Meh.
• 1:55:18
  Testecleese: It's, it's all Trump… yeah, I know, I know.
• 1:55:21
  Testecleese: I still don't understand where this came from. Like, is it because he brought up a story from the 80s, back in the 80s, about a group of kids that were falsely accused of something?
• 1:55:31
  Testecleese: Like, I don't know, like, Oprah!
• 1:55:34
  Testecleese: ask Trump to run for president. Do people understand that? Do they know that?
• 1:55:40
  Ron Pascoe: But you look at Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, they're all friends of Trump's.
• 1:55:44
  Testecleese: Jesse Jackson just died, didn't he?
• 1:55:47
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:55:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's too bad I liked him. I disagreed with a lot of his politics, but he did it in a good way.
• 1:55:56
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:55:58
  Testecleese: He wasn't Al Sharpton, because Al Sharpton, you can call him a reverend all you want, but he's no man of God, and you know that.
• 1:56:05
  Ron Pascoe: Did you hear what he said? He sunset at that funeral, the…
• 1:56:09
  Ron Pascoe: the celebration of his life, about the three presidents, Obama and Clinton and that.
• 1:56:14
  Testecleese: No.
• 1:56:16
  Ron Pascoe: All they got up, and they… all they do is bag Trump.
• 1:56:19
  Ron Pascoe: And you turn around, you Google it, what he had to say, and he turned around, he said.
• 1:56:23
  Testecleese: You know they're friends.
• 1:56:24
  Ron Pascoe: He goes, I heard from 3 presidents today.
• 1:56:27
  Testecleese: Awesome.
• 1:56:28
  Ron Pascoe: Or have done nothing, and didn't know my father once.
• 1:56:31
  Ron Pascoe: He said they're talking about a fourth president who was there.
• 1:56:36
  Testecleese: There you go.
• 1:56:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, like, Brian, Jesse Jackson came up, and we were… Oh, boy. Oh, a quick little how I disagreed with most of his politics, but he was a good man, fighting the good fight the right way, you know? And apparently, he was friends with Trump.
• 1:56:54
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:56:55
  Testecleese: This all came out of the whole 90s liberal is now far right.
• 1:57:01
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:57:03
  Ron Pascoe: Offering an office pre-charge, or something?
• 1:57:05
  Testecleese: What's that?
• 1:57:06
  Ron Pascoe: Didn't Trump offer him an office free of charge?
• 1:57:10
  Testecleese: I don't know anything about that.
• 1:57:13
  Testecleese: Yep.
• 1:57:13
  Ron Pascoe: Are you sure he offered him an office free of charge?
• 1:57:16
  Testecleese: What do you mean, an office free of charge?
• 1:57:18
  Ron Pascoe: Well, when Jesse Jackson was starting out.
• 1:57:20
  Testecleese: Oh, you mean, like, a workspace. I thought you meant, like, a cabinet position. I was like, I hope not, because that sounds insanely illegal.
• 1:57:29
  Ron Pascoe: no, no, when he started, yeah, he, you know, just kickstart his business, or whatever he was doing, his ventures.
• 1:57:36
  Ron Pascoe: He offered him some office space, free of charge.
• 1:57:39
  Testecleese: It wouldn't surprise me.
• 1:57:42
  Testecleese: And that's a… that's a big thing that people forgot about Trump, too, is he… He's very, giving.
• 1:57:50
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:57:50
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 1:57:51
  Testecleese: He has so much, and he understands that. Like, he's famous for tipping the guy who held the door for him a $100 bill.
• 1:57:58
  Testecleese: Like, everyone knows that too, right?
• 1:58:01
  Testecleese: Like, you open the elevator for the dude, he hands you a $100 bill, and it's like, who carries around this many $100 bills, you know?
• 1:58:08
  Brian McFadden: Blue drone.
• 1:58:09
  Testecleese: Did he bite?
• 1:58:11
  Ron Pascoe: When you pay the mortgage to the family, you give him a lift when his car broke down?
• 1:58:14
  Testecleese: But the thing is, he can't do that while he's in…
• 1:58:17
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 1:58:17
  Testecleese: A political office.
• 1:58:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, which, I mean, I don't know. Everybody loved the guy until he decided to run as a Republican.
• 1:58:26
  Testecleese: Had he run on the Democrat ticket and done the same shit?
• 1:58:30
  Testecleese: I bet they would have loved him.
• 1:58:32
  Brian McFadden: After a while, it would have turned on him in a heartbeat.
• 1:58:36
  Testecleese: Why? What is…
• 1:58:37
  Brian McFadden: Well, look at where they're going to Fetterman!
• 1:58:41
  Testecleese: That's because he's taking Trump's side.
• 1:58:43
  Brian McFadden: Betterment's sending no Democrat state… Jesus Christ.
• 1:58:46
  Testecleese: We're walking in circles.
• 1:58:49
  Brian McFadden: Democrat… he's not getting any Democrat state support from Democrats in the state of Pennsylvania for his re-election campaign.
• 1:58:57
  Testecleese: I know, we actually literally just talked about that when you were gone for a minute. We were talking about Fetterman and exactly that.
• 1:59:05
  Brian McFadden: I don't know where we're at.
• 1:59:06
  Ron Pascoe: We're all on the same page.
• 1:59:08
  Testecleese: That's because he's taken the side of Trump.
• 1:59:10
  Testecleese: So, therefore, he's bad, just like Elon Musk.
• 1:59:14
  Brian McFadden: But he's not even necessarily taking the side of Trump, he's taking the side of common sense. And he's even said that left and right, you know, he's like.
• 1:59:21
  Testecleese: I know!
• 1:59:23
  Testecleese: You should come over here to West Virginia, he might get elected.
• 1:59:27
  Testecleese: Doug, for really might get elected as a Democrat.
• 1:59:30
  Brian McFadden: I still think he might get elected.
• 1:59:33
  Brian McFadden: As a Democrat in Pennsylvania again.
• 1:59:36
  Testecleese: Maybe, but the Democrats seem to keep putting up the more and more extreme left that they can every time.
• 1:59:45
  Brian McFadden: So, is there anything else we want to cover here?
• 1:59:47
  Testecleese: Oh yeah, we haven't even got… we haven't moved past what you got highlighted, actually.
• 1:59:52
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:59:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, we got into, 90s liberal Democrats, our right-wing.
• 1:59:57
  Brian McFadden: Drive a drill.
• 1:59:58
  Testecleese: Now, yeah, and then… let's time to talk about Fetterman.
• 2:00:03
  Testecleese: But… the,
• 2:00:06
  Testecleese: the Irani… I'm sorry, Iran, Iran, whatever, Revolutionary Guard has decided to fully close the Strait of Hormuz, because the United States
• 2:00:15
  Testecleese: I…
• 2:00:16
  Testecleese: Still not sure what the United States did. Did we close straight home moves, or did we just close.
• 2:00:21
  Brian McFadden: Blockaded.
• 2:00:22
  Testecleese: Bonnie Porter.
• 2:00:23
  Brian McFadden: None of their ports can be… Just their ports.
• 2:00:25
  Testecleese: But we let other people go through it.
• 2:00:28
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:00:30
  Testecleese: Okay. See, that's where I got confused, is that Captain was completely closed. But now, Iran has completely closed it, no one can move.
• 2:00:39
  Brian McFadden: Well, they're threatening to fire on the ships that we're letting through, so…
• 2:00:43
  Brian McFadden: If you're a… if you're an oil tanker company.
• 2:00:46
  Testecleese: They did fire on the ship.
• 2:00:47
  Brian McFadden: at risk?
• 2:00:49
  Testecleese: They, well, that's the thing, is some people have, and it's been decades, and that's why it's such an issue now, but they already have fired on ships.
• 2:00:57
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Yeah, it's a mousetrap. It's a mousetrap that Trump's setting up for him.
• 2:01:01
  Ron Pascoe: He's baiting them to stick their head in the mousetrap and eat the cheese.
• 2:01:04
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 2:01:06
  Testecleese: The more this unfolds, the more I'm starting to think that too, and you know what? You can say Trump's an idiot, that's fine, but Trump did not come up with this plan himself. This has been in the works for decades.
• 2:01:18
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:01:19
  Testecleese: And Trump just pulled the trigger on it. Because, I mean, let's be real. Maduro got snatched up, the United States took control of, Venezuelan oil. Right, right, right?
• 2:01:29
  Testecleese: Yep. And then they close straight to Hormuz, and stop oil coming out of the Middle East. Already sanctioned Russia's oil.
• 2:01:39
  Testecleese: Where are you gonna get oil from?
• 2:01:42
  Ron Pascoe: US has got massive reserves, Venezuela.
• 2:01:44
  Testecleese: United States or Saudi Arabia?
• 2:01:47
  Ron Pascoe: Yep.
• 2:01:48
  Testecleese: It's… it almost seems as if… and…
• 2:01:52
  Testecleese: It almost seems as if Trump is… Executing this action.
• 2:01:57
  Testecleese: For the same things he ran on, in terms of, let's bring the money back to the United States, let's make the United States prosperous and profitable.
• 2:02:08
  Testecleese: Sell actual products. Isn't that what he ran on? He's like, let's make our own products and sell them to the rest of the world?
• 2:02:14
  Ron Pascoe: Yep. Alright.
• 2:02:15
  Testecleese: And, oh my god, now everyone has to buy American oil!
• 2:02:19
  Ron Pascoe: And they are. And the world are.
• 2:02:21
  Testecleese: maybe he failed upwards over and over again, but that's why I brought up, look at the chess pieces on the board.
• 2:02:29
  Ron Pascoe: Well, there's still a couple of good moves left, because you notice that Qatar and the UAE are talking about building their own Panama Canal.
• 2:02:37
  Testecleese: Heard something about that, yeah.
• 2:02:39
  Ron Pascoe: You can bet going around straight.
• 2:02:42
  Testecleese: What are the pan… what are the… Yeah, but what are the, nations there. Think of this.
• 2:02:49
  Ron Pascoe: they're on board, because Iran bombed them.
• 2:02:51
  Ron Pascoe: So what are they gonna do?
• 2:02:53
  Brian McFadden: Oh, there's what I take?
• 2:02:55
  Ron Pascoe: ages, but the thing is, you do it. You start it now.
• 2:02:58
  Testecleese: How much land is it?
• 2:03:02
  Testecleese: like, how… for example, Panama Canal was a tiny… Kai.
• 2:03:07
  Testecleese: Geologically, you know what I mean? And that took years.
• 2:03:12
  Brian McFadden: Well, they're expanding the Panama Canal now, so…
• 2:03:15
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's… yeah, but they have much better tech now, which is what I'm thinking, is it may not take nearly as long to do a canal these days, unless you're going across, like, 700 miles instead of, like, 12, you know what I mean?
• 2:03:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:03:27
  Testecleese: And how many men died in the carving of the Panama Canal? Wasn't it, like, thousands?
• 2:03:34
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I reckon there'd be thousands.
• 2:03:37
  Testecleese: Jeez.
• 2:03:40
  Ron Pascoe: But the way they look at overseas, mate, what they do, they give plenty people in, cheap labour in to build all their stuff in, like, Qatar and all that. The new stadium they had for the World Cup in Qatar. How many people do you reckon, died on that? They got cheap labour to do it.
• 2:03:53
  Ron Pascoe: They don't care, mate, they'll just get them in.
• 2:03:56
  Ron Pascoe: But the thing is, the other big chess piece that's happening in Iran right now, I don't know if you guys are aware of it, Kag Island, where they store most of their bloody oil and that.
• 2:04:06
  Ron Pascoe: that the refined oil and fuel, that's just almost at capacity. Once that gets to the capacity, Irene's got nowhere else to store their reserves.
• 2:04:14
  Ron Pascoe: So what's gonna happen? They're gonna have to shut the reserves down, and once all that shit happens, you know they're gonna lose most of the reserves.
• 2:04:20
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, they'll have to stop dr… either slow down drilling.
• 2:04:25
  Ron Pascoe: They won't be able to slow it down, they'll have to stop it completely. They'll have nowhere to store it.
• 2:04:28
  Testecleese: Slow down just to keep up with usage.
• 2:04:31
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? Instead of… instead of tapping resources, reserves, then.
• 2:04:35
  Brian McFadden: How much oil is being used in Iran right now? Isn't, like, pretty much everybody just staying at home, and, like.
• 2:04:42
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. Hope not to get bombed.
• 2:04:44
  Brian McFadden: The shelves aren't in place.
• 2:04:45
  Testecleese: Well, they're trying to sell it.
• 2:04:48
  Ron Pascoe: I can't.
• 2:04:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's…
• 2:04:50
  Testecleese: Exactly. Well, are you kidding me? China got, about 50% of their oil from Iran.
• 2:04:58
  Brian McFadden: I can't get it out now.
• 2:04:59
  Ron Pascoe: Knock it up.
• 2:05:01
  Testecleese: I know, that's the point. And fertilizer.
• 2:05:06
  Testecleese: Where you get…
• 2:05:06
  Ron Pascoe: million.
• 2:05:07
  Testecleese: natural gas. You get a lot of nitrogen in the Earth.
• 2:05:11
  Testecleese: Makes good fertilizer… more, ammonium nitrate.
• 2:05:15
  Testecleese: The good fertilizer that you can get, that you're not allowed to buy as a civilian in the United States, because you can make a fucking bomb out of it.
• 2:05:22
  Ron Pascoe: Yep. Well, that's where Trump's got the… that's be sent back on, I've got plenty of time. You guys show me your next move.
• 2:05:29
  Ron Pascoe: He's got it, like, this is exactly the thing.
• 2:05:32
  Ron Pascoe: Well, no, Roy, he's going to be…
• 2:05:34
  Testecleese: He's going to be impeached.
• 2:05:37
  Testecleese: after midterms, because the, Republicans are gonna lose the House.
• 2:05:41
  Testecleese: Almost every… It happens almost every time anyway.
• 2:05:46
  Ron Pascoe: I can't see that.
• 2:05:48
  Testecleese: I don't know, people are not happy with what's going on with Iran. And the comedians making jokes about Trump saying, oh, the Strait of Hormuz is open now. And, like, it was open before we started, you asshole, you blocked it! I'm like, okay, that's…
• 2:06:01
  Testecleese: It's more complicated than that, but that's the argument coming out, and that's what people are hearing, and they're upset about it.
• 2:06:09
  Testecleese: I tell you, your average American citizen does not pay nearly enough attention to what's going on to have a…
• 2:06:15
  Brian McFadden: They do not listen…
• 2:06:16
  Testecleese: inform their opinion. Exactly.
• 2:06:18
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, that's right, yeah.
• 2:06:21
  Testecleese: Well, how many times have I told you? You, as an Australian, know more of what's going on in this country than most…
• 2:06:27
  Brian McFadden: Most of average American citizen business, yeah.
• 2:06:31
  Testecleese: It's because their knife… the life is so nice.
• 2:06:35
  Testecleese: It's so nice that they don't have to know what's going on.
• 2:06:38
  Testecleese: And that's a great thing, don't get me wrong, that is the American dream, was that you could be someone that's safe, and you don't have to worry about the worries of the world.
• 2:06:48
  Testecleese: But then they go and complain about the worries of the world, and they have no idea what's going on.
• 2:06:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:06:54
  Testecleese: You know, they say how the United States is so evil and wrong, it's like…
• 2:06:57
  Testecleese: Are you fucking kidding me? Go live in any of these countries. Fuck! Brian, we love our cages!
• 2:07:03
  Testecleese: Finland just deported, like, 72 transgender Americans back to the United States.
• 2:07:08
  Brian McFadden: We talked about it on the last show!
• 2:07:10
  Testecleese: Yeah, we love our cages! It was a great thumbnail!
• 2:07:15
  Brian McFadden: I didn't look and see what our downloads was, let me pull it up here.
• 2:07:18
  Testecleese: It was… I bet that thumbnail got downloads. It was 3 dudes in dog kennels in dresses with beards, and it says, we love our cages in big bubbly letters and, like, an arch, when, the O in love was a heart.
• 2:07:35
  Ron Pascoe: I was like, oh.
• 2:07:36
  Testecleese: That was a good one. But yeah, they were…
• 2:07:39
  Testecleese: These transgender folks fled the United States because they were being persecuted. Finland was like.
• 2:07:44
  Testecleese: No, no, you're not in the United States, that's not.
• 2:07:47
  Brian McFadden: 9 downloads.
• 2:07:49
  Testecleese: Only 9… well, in a week.
• 2:07:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. Well, we had 7 the week before, 8 the week before that, so… 9 ain't bad.
• 2:07:57
  Testecleese: But yeah, they are.
• 2:08:00
  Testecleese: Finland was like, no, we're not accepting you, it's definitely not for asylum.
• 2:08:04
  Testecleese: You're not being persecuted in the United States. Just because someone looked at you funny doesn't mean you're being persecuted.
• 2:08:11
  Testecleese: It's like, you make decisions, they're allowed to have their opinions, too.
• 2:08:16
  Testecleese: So they've been deployed, but while they were…
• 2:08:18
  Testecleese: They got one appeal. You only get one appeal in Finland. You don't get infinite appeals like the United States, like, what's this dude's name?
• 2:08:27
  Testecleese: the, el Salvadorian… Merlin Man.
• 2:08:34
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, I forgot his name, yeah, mate, he's not even worth remembering.
• 2:08:37
  Brian McFadden: The Maryland year.
• 2:08:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, Maryland, man, he, he's got infinite appeals, apparently. Finland heard each case once, was like, nope, you're all… you're going back, and while they wait…
• 2:08:48
  Brian McFadden: This country he gets deported to, too.
• 2:08:50
  Testecleese: That's fucking crazy.
• 2:08:53
  Testecleese: But yeah, these trannies… Had to sleep on the… the dirt in a literal cage.
• 2:09:03
  Testecleese: waiting for their appeal, trial before they were sent back to the States.
• 2:09:11
  Testecleese: And it's interesting how none of them went to… Iraq, or Afghanistan, Or… Palestine.
• 2:09:21
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, that's it.
• 2:09:24
  Testecleese: They all went to Finland.
• 2:09:28
  Testecleese: Finland's the right one, right? I don't know. Is Finland the one that has, like, 19 names?
• 2:09:33
  Brian McFadden: Netherlands.
• 2:09:34
  Testecleese: Netherlands, I'm sorry, it's the Netherlands. They're Dutch, they're…
• 2:09:39
  Testecleese: Yeah, okay, this… yeah, yeah, Holland, exactly. It's like a hundred different names to call these folks, right?
• 2:09:45
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:09:45
  Testecleese: I'm sorry, it was the Netherlands that these folks went to, not Finland.
• 2:09:50
  Testecleese: But yeah, no, they did fire, Iran did fire on ships, multiple ships.
• 2:09:57
  Testecleese: And now… We've all heard back.
• 2:09:59
  Brian McFadden: back.
• 2:09:59
  Testecleese: Well, the U.S. Navy… Has fired on and, seized a ship.
• 2:10:07
  Testecleese: bound for Iran.
• 2:10:10
  Testecleese: What's interesting about this… interesting.
• 2:10:14
  Brian McFadden: Come on.
• 2:10:16
  Testecleese: The situation was, they had given, like, they got, like, 6 hours of notice.
• 2:10:21
  Testecleese: And it was that same… recording that we'd played before, Brian.
• 2:10:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:10:28
  Testecleese: And they just ignored it and tried to steam right through.
• 2:10:31
  Testecleese: So finally, the Navy, the destroyer, came out and was like, Evacuate your engine rooms NOW.
• 2:10:39
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, seen that.
• 2:10:40
  Testecleese: And, what… Brian, does it say in this article what weapons they hit him with?
• 2:10:48
  Testecleese: Cuz… it must have been, like, the 50 cals or something. I don't… I don't know what kind of firepower you need to get through a cargo vessel to destroy the engines, but I can just imagine a fucking… oh, MK45.
• 2:11:03
  Testecleese: Because I'm just thinking, is that the 5-inch gun?
• 2:11:08
  Ron Pascoe: Your legs actually boarded that…
• 2:11:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think…
• 2:11:11
  Ron Pascoe: It's good.
• 2:11:13
  Testecleese: It was the 5-inch they hit it with?
• 2:11:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:11:16
  Testecleese: Dear God!
• 2:11:18
  Brian McFadden: Let me look it up real quick to double check.
• 2:11:19
  Testecleese: It's the, yeah, the MK45.
• 2:11:23
  Ron Pascoe: It isn't the vessel that your lads actually boarded and took control of? Yes.
• 2:11:27
  Testecleese: Disabled it.
• 2:11:28
  Brian McFadden: Oh my god.
• 2:11:29
  Testecleese: then…
• 2:11:29
  Brian McFadden: Yep, 5 inch.
• 2:11:31
  Testecleese: Dear God!
• 2:11:31
  Brian McFadden: 127, millimeter naval artillery gun, yep.
• 2:11:37
  Testecleese: There we go. There we go.
• 2:11:39
  Testecleese: And here's the thing.
• 2:11:40
  Testecleese: For anyone going, oh, a 5 inch long bullet? That's not a big deal. No, no, no, no, it's 5 inches across the base of the round.
• 2:11:50
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 2:11:51
  Testecleese: This is a massive gun.
• 2:11:53
  Brian McFadden: systems.
• 2:11:55
  Testecleese: It's a MASSIVE gun, isn't it?
• 2:11:57
  Brian McFadden: Yep, I've heard it fired, I've listened to it fired, I shot video of it being fired.
• 2:12:02
  Testecleese: I have a shell casing in… I have a shell casing in my garage.
• 2:12:07
  Ron Pascoe: Is that a rapid-fire gun, too, or…
• 2:12:08
  Testecleese: What do you consider rapid fire?
• 2:12:11
  Ron Pascoe: Well, one relay, you know what I mean? Like, it's a rapid.
• 2:12:15
  Testecleese: It reloads each shotgun.
• 2:12:17
  Brian McFadden: Is that right?
• 2:12:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, every…
• 2:12:18
  Brian McFadden: It's not like…
• 2:12:18
  Testecleese: Every weapon.
• 2:12:19
  Brian McFadden: selling gun.
• 2:12:20
  Testecleese: Well, every, every weapon has to reload.
• 2:12:24
  Testecleese: Basically, you have to put a new… either a new chamber line…
• 2:12:29
  Testecleese: a round in it, or put a new round in the chamber, but the 5-inch gun
• 2:12:34
  Testecleese: Holds one round at a time.
• 2:12:36
  Testecleese: And there's a big conveyor belt of munitions down inside the gun, below decks, and as it fires, a giant hinge opens up, and a hunk of steel
• 2:12:47
  Testecleese: Literally took a chief's head off once, because he was in the wrong place when the gun opened.
• 2:12:54
  Testecleese: Giant hunk of steel just knocked it right off his body. But it comes down, it grabs the next round, loads it up into the breach, it can fire…
• 2:13:00
  Testecleese: I think it takes less than 1 second to fire each round.
• 2:13:04
  Ron Pascoe: Between.
• 2:13:05
  Testecleese: rounds.
• 2:13:06
  Brian McFadden: So, for the first time in a long time…
• 2:13:08
  Testecleese: Multiple 5-inch guns on most of these ships.
• 2:13:13
  Brian McFadden: We got 3 aircraft carriers in the Middle East. I can't remember the last time that that happened.
• 2:13:18
  Testecleese: we just talked about this when Gaza erupted, I think, because I was like, holy shit, they're bringing in a third carrier. I thought I made a big deal about this. Maybe that was the second carrier.
• 2:13:29
  Ron Pascoe: Didn't the Gerard Ford come in last? Wasn't that the last one in?
• 2:13:33
  Brian McFadden: I think so.
• 2:13:35
  Testecleese: But, I mean, Jesus Christ!
• 2:13:37
  Testecleese: What?
• 2:13:38
  Brian McFadden: That's a lot of fire… that's a lot of firepower, because they've all got their own carrier air wings.
• 2:13:44
  Brian McFadden: And it's not just a carrier that comes in, there's an aircraft…
• 2:13:48
  Testecleese: Battle Fleet.
• 2:13:48
  Brian McFadden: group, the whole battery with them, so there's destroyers, cruisers, submarines, yeah, it's all there.
• 2:13:55
  Ron Pascoe: approved.
• 2:13:57
  Testecleese: This… what do you need this much for?
• 2:14:00
  Testecleese: I mean, I understand it's an overwhelming show of force, but let's be 100% real here. One United States aircraft carrier is a nation-ending weapon to most of the world.
• 2:14:11
  Brian McFadden: Apparently not Iran.
• 2:14:14
  Testecleese: Well, it's… none of them have been turned loose to go, alright, we're at war, weapon's hot, you know what I mean? These are precision strikes versus World War II, just blow everything the fuck up, you know?
• 2:14:27
  Testecleese: Look, Brian, I know you understand the firepower of a fucking… Strike Group.
• 2:14:32
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I've been there.
• 2:14:33
  Testecleese: And I know, I keep bringing this up, but I don't… I… I… there's no way the average person understands.
• 2:14:39
  Testecleese: How much destructive force is in a naval strike group?
• 2:14:44
  Testecleese: Well, you got two destroyers, 2 frigates, at least 1 cruiser, at least two submarines.
• 2:14:52
  Testecleese: and the aircraft carrier, and all those other ships' jobs, is to protect the aircraft carrier.
• 2:15:01
  Ron Pascoe: The first thing it tells me, mate, this isn't just going to be a quick fix, this tells me that much firepower there is there to prepare to be there for the long haul.
• 2:15:10
  Testecleese: Well, that's the question… well, if he unloads 3 aircraft carriers' arsenal.
• 2:15:15
  Testecleese: It won't be very long. And that's the question, is he looking to just end this in a hurry?
• 2:15:19
  Testecleese: Or is this just a, A,
• 2:15:22
  Testecleese: Don't forget who the fuck we are.
• 2:15:24
  Testecleese: Right. You know? You know, I… I genuinely don't know.
• 2:15:28
  Ron Pascoe: I think it's also a deterrent to Russia and China as well.
• 2:15:39
  Testecleese: is a good question, too, Brian.
• 2:15:43
  Testecleese: Where did these ships come from?
• 2:15:46
  Testecleese: Were they in port and got put out to sea?
• 2:15:50
  Testecleese: For this, or were they taken from another…
• 2:15:54
  Testecleese: Duty station to do this.
• 2:15:57
  Brian McFadden: They were in port. Gerald Ford was in port, and it was deployed from Norfolk.
• 2:16:03
  Testecleese: So they got orders, A.
• 2:16:06
  Testecleese: We're heading out.
• 2:16:07
  Brian McFadden: They were, they had just been done.
• 2:16:09
  Testecleese: Three days.
• 2:16:09
  Brian McFadden: So, basically, I think I remember the Gerald Ford is now on the longest deployment since Vietnam.
• 2:16:17
  Testecleese: No kidding!
• 2:16:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:16:20
  Testecleese: Jeez… that sounds like a lot of steak and lobster, doesn't it?
• 2:16:25
  Brian McFadden: True does.
• 2:16:28
  Testecleese: Great!
• 2:16:28
  Brian McFadden: Nobody understands that.
• 2:16:30
  Testecleese: And, yeah, exactly, and that's why we specifically talked about this, when everyone lost their shit over a couple million dollars being spent for steak and lobster.
• 2:16:38
  Testecleese: For the military?
• 2:16:39
  Ron Pascoe: I was teaching.
• 2:16:40
  Testecleese: And it pissed me the fuck off, and I was like, anyone complaining about this doesn't know a single veteran.
• 2:16:45
  Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, there's differences, because the Navy is all about their staking a lobster with bad news, Air Force, Army, that's not a big thing, you know.
• 2:16:54
  Testecleese: Oh, they do it, too.
• 2:16:56
  Brian McFadden: Not as much.
• 2:16:58
  Testecleese: Not as much, but they do it, and… It's…
• 2:17:01
  Testecleese: It's something you do before something… where you might be sent to go die.
• 2:17:08
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? At least a prisoner on death row gets a last meal.
• 2:17:13
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 2:17:14
  Testecleese: And it looked like there for a minute, like, we were gonna send Marines in, and… that's fucking terrifying.
• 2:17:20
  Brian McFadden: Oh, the Marines are there!
• 2:17:23
  Brian McFadden: There is a… there is a amphibious ship with Marines on board. That was my last… that was, the last ship in the Navy for me was a ship that hauled Marines around the world, so…
• 2:17:36
  Testecleese: I bet that was a ton of fun.
• 2:17:38
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 2:17:39
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, I…
• 2:17:39
  Testecleese: I had a SEAL team on, the Carl Vinson with us.
• 2:17:44
  Testecleese: They literally had nothing to do all day.
• 2:17:47
  Brian McFadden: That's how the Marines are.
• 2:17:49
  Testecleese: I know, but the only reason why I even knew the SEAL team was on the ship…
• 2:17:54
  Testecleese: was because one of them was in HD by rating.
• 2:17:57
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:17:58
  Testecleese: And came to the shop, Secure Bar.
• 2:18:00
  Brian McFadden: enormous.
• 2:18:01
  Testecleese: to keep sharp on his skills and to do something, and I was like.
• 2:18:04
  Testecleese: Where the fuck did you come from? He's like, oh, I'm down where? I was like.
• 2:18:07
  Testecleese: Okay, I know how to find that space, I've never been there.
• 2:18:12
  Testecleese: And it's like, oh yeah, well, we're the SEAL team. I'm like.
• 2:18:16
  Testecleese: You're out of your fucking mind. And he shows me his trident, and I was like, okay!
• 2:18:20
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 2:18:20
  Testecleese: I had no idea we even had SEALs on the ship.
• 2:18:23
  Testecleese: And that's how we do SEAL operations. Even the fucking Navy guys don't know…
• 2:18:28
  Brian McFadden: Bad news.
• 2:18:29
  Brian McFadden: Pretty much, there's seals on the aircraft carrier, or whenever it's deployed.
• 2:18:33
  Testecleese: Yes, because shit happens, and you want the SEAL team there, right?
• 2:18:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:18:38
  Ron Pascoe: I know he's prepared to do it any time, but I'll ask you two guys, do you think you'll let the Marines and the SEALs go out on land in Orion? Do you reckon you'll cut them loose?
• 2:18:47
  Testecleese: Well, the seals you don't cut loose.
• 2:18:49
  Testecleese: The SEALs are… Precision.
• 2:18:52
  Brian McFadden: Those are the people that got the downed aircraft weapons officer back.
• 2:18:58
  Testecleese: Yes, yes, or they're gonna go.
• 2:19:01
  Brian McFadden: They're the people that went in and did search and rescue, and figured out where he was at and recovered his ass before he was attacked.
• 2:19:08
  Brian McFadden: Captured by Iranians.
• 2:19:10
  Testecleese: And they're also the guy.
• 2:19:11
  Ron Pascoe: So that'll take out…
• 2:19:13
  Testecleese: They're also the guys that'll take out a bridge, or… you know what I mean?
• 2:19:17
  Ron Pascoe: We're offs.
• 2:19:18
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, they drop in from the ocean, they swim up to shore, and by the time you realize what happened, their footprints are already washed away by the tide, you know? The Marines… the Marines, they are fucking terrifying, because at least you don't even know what happened with this.
• 2:19:33
  Brian McFadden: The Marines are the first people on the land.
• 2:19:36
  Testecleese: And the last one's out.
• 2:19:37
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and I don't see… I don't think Trump wants to get that in… embroiled in Iran, because if you put foot… you put boots on the ground in Iran.
• 2:19:48
  Testecleese: It's mine!
• 2:19:49
  Brian McFadden: We're gonna be there for well past his presidency.
• 2:19:53
  Testecleese: Yes, and it's the same thing.
• 2:19:54
  Ron Pascoe: We will defend it differently.
• 2:19:55
  Testecleese: Yeah, it would be the same idea as trying to invade West Virginia. It's all mountains. There's… it's almost impossible to get…
• 2:20:02
  Brian McFadden: We tried this in… we tried this in Afghanistan, we tried…
• 2:20:05
  Testecleese: How well that worked out.
• 2:20:06
  Brian McFadden: Kosovo, we tried it in Bosnia.
• 2:20:09
  Testecleese: Josevo, wow!
• 2:20:11
  Testecleese: I've been there. Is that the first… is that the first reference we've ever made to Kosovo on this show?
• 2:20:16
  Brian McFadden: Highly unlikely. I've been to Albania for refugee camps with Kosovo, so…
• 2:20:21
  Testecleese: I remember hearing…
• 2:20:22
  Ron Pascoe: Welcome.
• 2:20:23
  Testecleese: Oh, cool.
• 2:20:24
  Ron Pascoe: Wasn't it possible?
• 2:20:25
  Testecleese: I was gonna say, I was young when this happened, but it was, like, one of the first things I remember happening. I don't even remember what happened there.
• 2:20:32
  Testecleese: Wasn't quite…
• 2:20:33
  Brian McFadden: It's all… most of those Middle Eastern countries, it's all about religion.
• 2:20:37
  Testecleese: I was gonna say, it was either probably religious or Soviet-related.
• 2:20:41
  Brian McFadden: Really?
• 2:20:41
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, but wasn't Clinton the president at the time of Kosovo and.
• 2:20:45
  Brian McFadden: She was.
• 2:20:47
  Brian McFadden: I was in the Navy then.
• 2:20:48
  Testecleese: I don't remember what happened with Bosnia, either. I remember that being all over the news.
• 2:20:52
  Brian McFadden: They're… it's three different religions trying to live in one country.
• 2:20:56
  Ron Pascoe: Macedonia, Macedonians.
• 2:20:59
  Brian McFadden: We'll see.
• 2:21:00
  Ron Pascoe: So, Serbians.
• 2:21:02
  Brian McFadden: It's the Serbians, the Croatians… And you got Muslims, Christians, There's… I don't know.
• 2:21:11
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay, nice.
• 2:21:12
  Ron Pascoe: Serbian. Yeah, Serbians were the most…
• 2:21:14
  Brian McFadden: Three different religions trying to live all under one rule, and when they had a dictator, he made it work. When the dictator left, it was a shitshow.
• 2:21:24
  Ron Pascoe: It was a Millslav, or something like that. Mills Slav, his name was?
• 2:21:27
  Brian McFadden: Hugo's… Tito!
• 2:21:30
  Ron Pascoe: Miller Slev, kozovich, or something, I think his name was.
• 2:21:36
  Brian McFadden: Her name is Tito.
• 2:21:37
  Testecleese: Kosovich sounds familiar.
• 2:21:40
  Ron Pascoe: Miller sled, yeah.
• 2:21:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, it just, it just seems crazy, like…
• 2:21:46
  Testecleese: The United States… all you have to do is have no official religion.
• 2:21:50
  Testecleese: And actually enforce murder laws, and you can have people that disagree with religion get along well enough.
• 2:21:57
  Testecleese: Well, you may not be friends, you're not… you may not be going and breaking bread with the Muslim if you're a devout Christian, but realistically.
• 2:22:06
  Testecleese: Why not?
• 2:22:09
  Testecleese: Like, just because they have a different god than you doesn't mean that you need to fight them, right?
• 2:22:15
  Ron Pascoe: Right, mate.
• 2:22:16
  Brian McFadden: Other great news, China has decided… has successfully tested a cable-cutting ROV at 1,140 feet below sea level, so they can cut the internet cables between…
• 2:22:31
  Testecleese: It's Atlantic Cable.
• 2:22:32
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:22:33
  Testecleese: He could cut… China could cut Australia off from the internet.
• 2:22:39
  Ron Pascoe: So, we invented the Wi-Fi.
• 2:22:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but the Wi-Fi ain't gonna work!
• 2:22:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, Wi-Fi doesn't work.
• 2:22:44
  Brian McFadden: We're already in the United States.
• 2:22:46
  Testecleese: Yeah, Wi-Fi is local, not internet across the planet, dude. They'll cut the cable, literally cut the cable that connects you to the rest of the world.
• 2:22:56
  Ron Pascoe: We'll be right, mate, we've been separated from the rest of the world for years.
• 2:22:59
  Testecleese: Yes, it wasn't the United States for a long time, until the fucking internet…
• 2:23:02
  Brian McFadden: We have the internet now, we're addicted.
• 2:23:05
  Brian McFadden: You got the same problem in Australia.
• 2:23:08
  Ron Pascoe: Like, whilst down in Tasmania, one of the cables got bloody cut.
• 2:23:12
  Ron Pascoe: Well, look, it was down in Tasmania when it happened, from Melbourne to Tasmania.
• 2:23:16
  Testecleese: Was it… wasn't that an Australian… wasn't that an Australian woman's ship captain that…
• 2:23:22
  Ron Pascoe: New Zealand.
• 2:23:23
  Testecleese: Okay, New Zealand, and she wrecked the ship and, like, cut the internet cable or something?
• 2:23:27
  Ron Pascoe: It's unbelievable.
• 2:23:30
  Brian McFadden: Still a ship captain!
• 2:23:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:23:32
  Brian McFadden: Yes!
• 2:23:32
  Testecleese: We, we talked about it.
• 2:23:33
  Ron Pascoe: No, no.
• 2:23:33
  Testecleese: This is This is the definition of a DEI hire, you know?
• 2:23:37
  Testecleese: She sank… she sank a ship in the open ocean.
• 2:23:42
  Ron Pascoe: At… at low tide.
• 2:23:47
  Testecleese: Ugh.
• 2:23:48
  Testecleese: New Zealand.
• 2:23:50
  Ron Pascoe: At Logue saw what it was.
• 2:23:52
  Testecleese: I can't remember that woman's name, but I remember we definitely talked about it.
• 2:23:55
  Brian McFadden: Oh, we definitely talked about her today.
• 2:23:57
  Testecleese: believe this just happened. Like, they just lost, like, a half billion dollar, like, research vessel.
• 2:24:05
  Ron Pascoe: I think that was just a white lesbian DEI hire.
• 2:24:09
  Testecleese: So that was a big part, that's why it was such a big story, is like.
• 2:24:13
  Testecleese: You made… you hired her because she was a friggin' lesbian woman.
• 2:24:16
  Testecleese: Not because she knew what the fuck she was doing.
• 2:24:20
  Ron Pascoe: Now, if she had been of color, that would have made a bigger story.
• 2:24:23
  Testecleese: Well, then it wouldn't have been her fault when it happened, you know?
• 2:24:27
  Ron Pascoe: Playing second in charge.
• 2:24:30
  Testecleese: But yeah, no, this,
• 2:24:32
  Testecleese: this cable-cutting robot… robot that China's made. Why did they make something that can do this? I want it to cut cables under the ocean.
• 2:24:42
  Ron Pascoe: But you guys can stop a pipeline.
• 2:24:45
  Testecleese: Actually, I believe.
• 2:24:50
  Ron Pascoe: Nordstrom?
• 2:24:50
  Testecleese: Poland… I believe Poland accused two Germans of blowing up that pipeline in Ukraine.
• 2:24:56
  Ron Pascoe: Bye!
• 2:24:59
  Testecleese: Why… why would Russia…
• 2:25:02
  Testecleese: cut off their own freaking supply of oil out to sell it. Why would they do that?
• 2:25:09
  Ron Pascoe: I think it had something to do with a three-letter agency.
• 2:25:12
  Brian McFadden: CIA?
• 2:25:14
  Testecleese: I was gonna say CIA, because we had Navy SEALs doing ops, training ops there, like, 3 days before that frickin', pipeline blew up.
• 2:25:24
  Testecleese: I don't know, man! It's like, ugh, why… why… they… Russia didn't have to blow it up, they could just close the valve.
• 2:25:32
  Ron Pascoe: It's a point, turn on… Total, yeah. Total oil.
• 2:25:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, if they wanted to cut everyone off from the oil, they could've just closed the valve, and… but… on China, again, they made some friggin' humanoid-style robot.
• 2:25:46
  Brian McFadden: Yep, I got a video.
• 2:25:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, I see that.
• 2:25:49
  Testecleese: And it was trying to run a marathon.
• 2:25:53
  Testecleese: A half marathon!
• 2:25:54
  Testecleese: Apparently, bro.
• 2:25:55
  Brian McFadden: the record.
• 2:25:57
  Testecleese: Well, and itself. You got a video, unfortunately, no one should be able to see this video, because we're mostly audio.
• 2:26:02
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: named Lightning, breaking the half-marathon world record in Beijing this past weekend, finishing in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds, under an hour. That's hours.
• 2:26:13
  Testecleese: early, isn't it?
• 2:26:14
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: whistles.
• 2:26:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:26:15
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: robot was on display at the company's showroom right by the Boston Marathon finish line, and here with us to talk about it is Kurt Knutson, the Cyber Guy. Hey, Kurt!
• 2:26:25
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Hey, Ainsley, good morning to you. It seems like all of a sudden, robots are everywhere, especially when it comes to a race. The human race. And then you look at this thing and you go, Elon Musk must have been watching
• 2:26:36
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: in China, when those robots finally won the race. You know, remember last year, we showed this same thing, but the robots were really falling over each other? Yeah. Well, they did that again this year in China, but at the same time, half of them actually finished the race, and that's the big news here.
• 2:26:54
  Brian McFadden: Oh, half of them visit the race this year, and last year not so many.
• 2:26:57
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: with these. Over 100 of these humanoid robots took on.
• 2:27:01
  Testecleese: No, it gets even better.
• 2:27:02
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Human runners, and
• 2:27:05
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: What's amazing to me here is that they actually got it to complete the race. Now, on the other hand.
• 2:27:10
  Testecleese: Why would you make it run on two legs, though?
• 2:27:12
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: The fun part to watch is the other half that didn't quite do well, starting with one at the starting line that just ran into the crowd and fell over onto itself, and then one almost to the.
• 2:27:21
  Testecleese: Hey, are they liable for injuries?
• 2:27:23
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: out in a spectacular way.
• 2:27:25
  Brian McFadden: Whoever made them.
• 2:27:25
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: fun things to watch.
• 2:27:26
  Testecleese: watch, because…
• 2:27:27
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I think it makes us feel better that, okay, they're not quite ready to kill us, but at the very end of the day.
• 2:27:33
  Brian McFadden: We're looking at innovation.
• 2:27:35
  Testecleese: Yeah, Judgment Day.
• 2:27:36
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 2:27:37
  Brian McFadden: Not yet, it's coming, but not yet.
• 2:27:39
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: if they can beat us in a human race, what are we doing? What are we doing allowing all this to happen?
• 2:27:46
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:27:47
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: easily, might just.
• 2:27:48
  Brian McFadden: Look at that robot go! Run, robot, run!
• 2:27:50
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: answered constantly. Where is the off button? Yeah, no, this one that you're watching right now.
• 2:27:55
  Testecleese: Why do you want an off-block?
• 2:27:56
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: fast one. That's the one that finished 12 miles faster than any human…
• 2:28:02
  Testecleese: There you go, like an hour.
• 2:28:03
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Like, I can understand, usually where it's a few minutes faster, a few seconds faster. This was 12 miles. That's a little scary. Now, we have progressed so far in the last year. What is it gonna.
• 2:28:14
  Testecleese: But you're worried about robots moving fast? It wouldn't be on two legs, it'd be on fucking tank treads, wouldn't it?
• 2:28:19
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: race anymore?
• 2:28:19
  Brian McFadden: Whoa.
• 2:28:20
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Will it just be robots running? Will they have already all…
• 2:28:23
  Testecleese: The balance required to stay on two legs is insane.
• 2:28:26
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: But let's be honest.
• 2:28:27
  Testecleese: That's why you don't see it in nature, besides humans, basically.
• 2:28:30
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Can you honestly wake up today and go, oh, I feel just perfectly fine with this? Because, no, you can't.
• 2:28:37
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: There's nobody telling us that there's any sort of boundaries here, and really, nobody is following any sort of rulebook that says, alright, we're gonna create a universal off-switch when these things get too fast, too powerful, too smart, where we can't any longer control what's happening. So, I freak out when I see this stuff.
• 2:28:57
  Testecleese: No, when you say that kind of shit, it sounds like you want to have a government switch in my car to shut it off, too.
• 2:29:03
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I still prefer humans, and I'm amazed at what can happen.
• 2:29:08
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: But come on, rein this stuff in. Well, I remember… No. Last year, we were talking about you could buy a robot that would do your laundry and would clean your house, and I think they were $25,000. Are we gonna eventually get to the point where we're like the Jetsons and we own a robot?
• 2:29:24
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: You know, heck.
• 2:29:25
  Testecleese: Judy!
• 2:29:25
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: is coming. I mean, if you think
• 2:29:27
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: practical side of things, humanoid robots like that in the household of an older loved one that really does need that kind of assistance, that's powerful. That's meaningful. But again.
• 2:29:40
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Where's the off button? Make all these things, make our lives better.
• 2:29:43
  Testecleese: Just don't buy it, then!
• 2:29:45
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: But come on.
• 2:29:45
  Brian McFadden: I'm not buying it.
• 2:29:46
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: safer about it, because right now, there's just…
• 2:29:49
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: It's just people innovating and just saying, oh, look at this, it can run us over. Oh, well, great. I'm thrilled that this thing's about.
• 2:29:56
  Testecleese: So can't my car!
• 2:29:57
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: It just didn't erase. You mentioned that video of the robot that was pretty humorous, it was all over social media, that tried to leave the finish line and then just…
• 2:30:07
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: So, watch this. Can we start?
• 2:30:09
  Testecleese: Oh, no.
• 2:30:10
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Where he trips on that little.
• 2:30:12
  Testecleese: Cut back to the video, this is great.
• 2:30:14
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Or the starting line, and then he jumped.
• 2:30:16
  Brian McFadden: takes a tumble and breaks apart.
• 2:30:17
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: And they run over with a stretcher like it's a human being.
• 2:30:21
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Like a human stretcher, it was hilarious to watch it, and it makes us feel good, I think, because you see this and you go, okay, they're not quite there yet, they're not gonna kill us yet. But the reality is, half of them did complete the race, one of them now, for the first time, beating out human beings.
• 2:30:40
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: I'm just saying, what are we doing? Let's start asking some questions, and let's just get some.
• 2:30:45
  Testecleese: We're making advancements in technology.
• 2:30:47
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: some powerful companies here in America that are working on this, and Tesla, Elon Musk is one of them.
• 2:30:53
  Testecleese: Boston Dynamics.
• 2:30:54
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Hopefully we can beat China in this race as well, like the space race.
• 2:31:00
  Testecleese: Well, there's a… that robot that won, that won the race, Then began breakdancing?
• 2:31:10
  Testecleese: And broke itself into pieces.
• 2:31:13
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:31:13
  Testecleese: Had to be hauled off as, rubbish.
• 2:31:16
  Testecleese: I think that's hilarious.
• 2:31:19
  Testecleese: But yeah, I have no issue with making enough robots, honestly. I know a lot of people do.
• 2:31:26
  Testecleese: And, oh, it's gonna replace jobs. AI's gonna replace jobs, too. We're gonna find another way to make money.
• 2:31:33
  Testecleese: If we ever want to make it to the Star Trek world.
• 2:31:36
  Testecleese: Where all your basic needs are taken care of?
• 2:31:40
  Testecleese: Then we need to have these advancements, and…
• 2:31:43
  Testecleese: It's gonna be difficult as they happen.
• 2:31:47
  Testecleese: But we're gonna lose white-collar jobs to AI before we lose blue-collar jobs to robots.
• 2:31:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:31:57
  Testecleese: I don't know, man, if I can get a robot to go cut down a dangerous tree instead of me doing it, I would rather a robot go do it.
• 2:32:05
  Testecleese: You know?
• 2:32:07
  Brian McFadden: You got a robot to climb a tree?
• 2:32:10
  Testecleese: Not one that I know of or can afford, or want to afford, right? Fuck.
• 2:32:20
  Testecleese: Like… Some stuff's dangerous, why not have a robot do it, you know?
• 2:32:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:32:26
  Testecleese: And if it can't sweep your house, it probably can't climb a tree and cut it down safely, you know?
• 2:32:33
  Ron Pascoe: I think, you know, like, you look at AI, you've got to be very careful in what we're doing. Like, for example, I went to my doctors a couple of weeks ago, and my doctor said now, because living in Australia, we've got a high rate of skin cancer and that, the doctor said to me, we've got AI now, what they'll do, instead of us going checking you with a little magnifying glass.
• 2:32:51
  Ron Pascoe: We'll actually take a photo of your front, your back, your sides.
• 2:32:55
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. And every year you go, and they'll show you if any spots are changing.
• 2:32:59
  Ron Pascoe: And it'll pick it up, bang, straight away, like that. See what's getting larger.
• 2:33:04
  Testecleese: No, and see, this is good technology.
• 2:33:07
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 2:33:08
  Ron Pascoe: But technology…
• 2:33:09
  Testecleese: Any new… any new tech can be used for evil.
• 2:33:12
  Testecleese: Any new tech. Fuck, the guy who made the Nobel Peace Prize, who wouldn't… Put the whole thing together.
• 2:33:22
  Testecleese: could be gone.
• 2:33:23
  Brian McFadden: considered…
• 2:33:24
  Testecleese: Could be considered the person who created the most dangerous weapon of all time.
• 2:33:29
  Brian McFadden: Yup, it sure can.
• 2:33:32
  Testecleese: Arthur Nobel invented dynamite.
• 2:33:34
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:33:35
  Ron Pascoe: Shit.
• 2:33:36
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah.
• 2:33:37
  Ron Pascoe: And he got the Peace Prize. But the thing is.
• 2:33:40
  Testecleese: No, he invented the Peace Prize!
• 2:33:42
  Ron Pascoe: Well, no, that's…
• 2:33:43
  Testecleese: To be used for mining, it turned into weapons!
• 2:33:46
  Ron Pascoe: Well, you look like you are.
• 2:33:47
  Ron Pascoe: I love that.
• 2:33:48
  Testecleese: Any new… any new technology is either gonna become pornography or a weapon.
• 2:33:54
  Ron Pascoe: When you look at Ornstein, like, what he created?
• 2:33:57
  Testecleese: Oh, he was trying.
• 2:33:58
  Ron Pascoe: to figure out.
• 2:33:58
  Testecleese: out how the world works, and him and Heisenberg and Oppenheimer went and made a nuclear fucking weapon.
• 2:34:05
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, yeah, hopefully we'll keep peace. But the thing is, like, you're looking from industrial age until now, or from the Stone Age until now, everything's developed. Everything has developed.
• 2:34:16
  Ron Pascoe: People have got jobs, people have lost jobs.
• 2:34:19
  Ron Pascoe: All because of the new ideas, new technologies…
• 2:34:22
  Testecleese: New ideas show up. Yep. Like, the delivery driver from your local Domino's doesn't exist anymore, because Uber Eats came in.
• 2:34:32
  Ron Pascoe: Well, who's… who's gonna.
• 2:34:33
  Brian McFadden: I can't get any delivery where I live.
• 2:34:36
  Testecleese: Neither can I.
• 2:34:39
  Brian McFadden: I got Starlink internet, you don't.
• 2:34:43
  Testecleese: Actually, it's funny, it's about a mile and a half up from my house is where the internet cable ends. I wouldn't have high-speed internet if I was, like, 3 miles away.
• 2:34:53
  Ron Pascoe: But look, who's gonna… who's gonna lose out all this? Males. The male bloody worker. He's gonna miss out.
• 2:35:01
  Testecleese: How so? Because women are…
• 2:35:03
  Ron Pascoe: You look at all the labour and jobs and that out there. You look at industrial… that loop.
• 2:35:07
  Testecleese: Oh, again, the white-collar jobs are gonna disappear first to AI before the robots take over blue-collar jobs. It's gonna be managers and people analyzing data and crunching numbers that's gonna be replaced by a computer.
• 2:35:21
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah! It's gonna happen big time.
• 2:35:24
  Testecleese: But it's been happening since the dawn of time, like you said.
• 2:35:28
  Testecleese: Yep. Look how much… how many fewer people we need. I say that as if we've done it again, but…
• 2:35:36
  Testecleese: How many people do you think we need?
• 2:35:38
  Testecleese: Physically, personally there.
• 2:35:42
  Testecleese: On the job, like, doing the math and everything, to set up another moon landing today, versus the first time
• 2:35:49
  Testecleese: Man landed on the moon.
• 2:35:52
  Brian McFadden: I land on the moon.
• 2:35:54
  Testecleese: That's… it's an excellent question, Brian. I believe we did, but…
• 2:35:59
  Testecleese: That's only because we placed a giant mirror up there, and you can literally shoot a laser at it, have it come back, and measure how long it takes, and measure the distance from here to the moon that way.
• 2:36:12
  Testecleese: Does everyone know that, by the way?
• 2:36:14
  Testecleese: We put up a giant parabolic mirror on the moon.
• 2:36:18
  Testecleese: That you can actually shoot a laser at, and like…
• 2:36:22
  Testecleese: get the signal back. It's really neat tech. It's cool stuff that anyone can do. You just need… realistically, you need a laser and a computer.
• 2:36:31
  Testecleese: And maybe some… a little more hardware to…
• 2:36:35
  Testecleese: Hook up, you know, sent time, receive time.
• 2:36:41
  Brian McFadden: Anyone tours?
• 2:36:43
  Testecleese: Yes, I'm just saying, it's… it took a whole shit ton of people to do the math to land on the moon.
• 2:36:50
  Testecleese: And… if… if we… I bet you we're gonna land on the moon again soon, right?
• 2:36:55
  Testecleese: That's what we're saying.
• 2:36:56
  Brian McFadden: Next year.
• 2:36:58
  Ron Pascoe: We're putting bicycles on the mirror?
• 2:37:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, I bet you computers do 99% of the math.
• 2:37:04
  Brian McFadden: Well, the comp… the iPhones that the last astronauts took around the moon to take pictures with is more computing power.
• 2:37:14
  Brian McFadden: Then, neil Armstrong had in his Apollo craft.
• 2:37:19
  Testecleese: That's exactly what I'm saying is, exactly. My cell phone has more computing power used in it now than we used to land on the moon.
• 2:37:29
  Testecleese: It's, it's… How many jobs disappeared? You know what I mean?
• 2:37:35
  Testecleese: But everyone… but instead, we started working
• 2:37:38
  Testecleese: different ways, making money different ways. Fuck, people are making money playing video games and livestreaming it.
• 2:37:47
  Testecleese: This is always a different way to make money. You may lose a job here, But it isn't…
• 2:37:55
  Testecleese: Doesn't mean you can't find work somewhere else.
• 2:37:58
  Brian McFadden: We need to set up an OnlyFans account.
• 2:37:59
  Testecleese: Progress has to happen. Yes, OnlyFans account.
• 2:38:03
  Testecleese: I'm se- by the way, speaking of, I'm selling feet pics to fund the show.
• 2:38:09
  Testecleese: Anyone who wants.
• 2:38:10
  Brian McFadden: I hope it works!
• 2:38:12
  Testecleese: And he was like, oh!
• 2:38:13
  Testecleese: The order wants my feet pics.
• 2:38:15
  Brian McFadden: Well, we're still waiting for you to drink a Foster, so…
• 2:38:20
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah, no, he's got a drink of Bud Light.
• 2:38:24
  Brian McFadden: Oh, we moved into Buzz Light, Bud Light, no, okay.
• 2:38:27
  Testecleese: The crazy thing is I already drank that giant Bud Light because I was out of beer one day.
• 2:38:31
  Brian McFadden: I've still got the…
• 2:38:34
  Ron Pascoe: Whilst things in the freezer, I'm not that desperate.
• 2:38:37
  Brian McFadden: It's funny.
• 2:38:38
  Testecleese: Every phone game I play with is Australians, they always… they always talk trash. They're Australian, you know, it's just like Americans talk trash, right?
• 2:38:46
  Testecleese: But every time, I'm like, hey, you know how you're really pissed off in Australia? Like, oh yeah, how, how, how? What are you gonna do, you stupid cunt? And I'm like…
• 2:38:54
  Testecleese: I hear the only beer you drink is Foster's, like, oh, fuck you!
• 2:38:58
  Brian McFadden: All that stuff.
• 2:39:00
  Ron Pascoe: How do I guarantee you get a fight?
• 2:39:02
  Testecleese: That shit's from… that shit's from tourists, like.
• 2:39:05
  Brian McFadden: It works every time!
• 2:39:08
  Ron Pascoe: You guarantee to get a good blue out of something like that, boys.
• 2:39:13
  Testecleese: Brian, you shared this, I think, this mystery golden orb they found in the Gulf of Alaska,
• 2:39:19
  Brian McFadden: Like, boy.
• 2:39:19
  Testecleese: years ago.
• 2:39:20
  Testecleese: when I heard orb, I was thinking sphere, it…
• 2:39:24
  Testecleese: It did not look anything like I thought it was. It's not gold.
• 2:39:28
  Testecleese: It's gold-colored.
• 2:39:30
  Testecleese: And it turned out… they finally figured out what…
• 2:39:32
  Brian McFadden: This is the unknown species that has now been identified by researchers.
• 2:39:41
  Brian McFadden: In a 2023 deep-sea expedition, it's a remnant of a rarely seen giant deep-sea anima called the replicas Blah blah blah blah.
• 2:39:56
  Testecleese: It's a sea an enemy.
• 2:39:58
  Brian McFadden: And it is specifically part of an organism that anchored itself to the ocean floor.
• 2:40:06
  Testecleese: Yeah, I just…
• 2:40:07
  Brian McFadden: It was, like, 2 miles deep.
• 2:40:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, I just thought it was crazy. I thought it was a very interesting story, but I was like, alright, so… we… let's be real, most of the new discoveries we're doing on this planet have been in the ocean the last, what, 100 or so years?
• 2:40:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:40:23
  Testecleese: Like, we know the surface of the moon better than we know the bottom of the ocean, let's be real.
• 2:40:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, definitely.
• 2:40:28
  Ron Pascoe: Oh, yeah.
• 2:40:30
  Testecleese: And, shit, I still watch videos about all these, submersibles that go down the trench over there.
• 2:40:36
  Brian McFadden: I might mention.
• 2:40:37
  Testecleese: van?
• 2:40:38
  Testecleese: It's… poof.
• 2:40:40
  Testecleese: It's crazy that anything could possibly live down there with the pressure and everything, but there… all the life down there is living off, like, volcanic vents, and that energy, I'm like, this is fucking nuts. No sunlight. No sunlight.
• 2:40:52
  Brian McFadden: No, just for now.
• 2:40:54
  Testecleese: Yeah, but what is it eating? And it's eating the Earth's heat.
• 2:40:59
  Testecleese: I'm like, that's fucking crazy, because usually.
• 2:41:02
  Testecleese: You eat something, that eats something, they eat something, that eats sunlight, right?
• 2:41:07
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:41:09
  Testecleese: I mean, if it comes down to it, like, you eat the cow, the cow ate the grass, the grass ate the sunlight.
• 2:41:15
  Brian McFadden: Let's circle of life.
• 2:41:16
  Testecleese: You eat the… you eat the apple, the apple eats the sunlight.
• 2:41:19
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:41:20
  Testecleese: all the energy comes from the sun, then I find out that there's fucking life at the bottom of the ocean, where there's no sun.
• 2:41:27
  Testecleese: And I'm like, oh, this is fucking crazy, you know?
• 2:41:31
  Testecleese: Anyway, sorry.
• 2:41:33
  Testecleese: jumanji Jackson is… has opened her mouth again.
• 2:41:39
  Brian McFadden: There's a shocker.
• 2:41:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, which, it was,
• 2:41:44
  Testecleese: two dissenters, her and Sotomayor, I think.
• 2:41:47
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 2:41:48
  Testecleese: And Sotomayor had no intention at all of having anything to do with the dissent
• 2:41:55
  Testecleese: letter or whatever, because Jackson was.
• 2:41:58
  Brian McFadden: That's awesome.
• 2:41:58
  Testecleese: ring it. She's like, no, I don't…
• 2:42:00
  Brian McFadden: yourself.
• 2:42:01
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, this is not the first time this has happened, either.
• 2:42:04
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 2:42:05
  Testecleese: More than once, sort of my wife's been like, you're already a fucking Mike, you know?
• 2:42:09
  Testecleese: Actually, I believe that… When that happened, it was when,
• 2:42:14
  Testecleese: Oh, who's the young woman? Young.
• 2:42:18
  Testecleese: probably 50s, that, Trump put in place.
• 2:42:22
  Brian McFadden: I don't know who you're talking about, I can't think of the name now.
• 2:42:24
  Testecleese: I know, I know, right? I feel terrible, too.
• 2:42:29
  Testecleese: But yeah, I remember in one of her… one of the letters she wrote, like, the majority opinion, she was like, apparently you're overlooking, like, 250 years of constitutional law and precedent. I just thought it was hilarious.
• 2:42:46
  Brian McFadden: February.
• 2:42:47
  Testecleese: Kate Barrett, there we go.
• 2:42:50
  Testecleese: You would think at some point Jackson would be like, I obviously don't know what I'm talking about.
• 2:42:55
  Testecleese: But what was she upset about this time? Like, she didn't like… Law enforcement, or…
• 2:43:02
  Testecleese: The way the courts were overstepping police or something?
• 2:43:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:43:09
  Testecleese: Okay, so she… she wanted to give more authority to the police.
• 2:43:14
  Testecleese: Then, because she said the Supreme… the rest of the Supreme Court
• 2:43:17
  Testecleese: Overstepped the police, meaning the police should have the more authority.
• 2:43:24
  Testecleese: as…
• 2:43:25
  Brian McFadden: It was a routine police stop case. She didn't want people to be stopped at 2 AM.
• 2:43:33
  Brian McFadden: And searched, and stuff like that. She was against it.
• 2:43:38
  Testecleese: Well, why are you getting searched at 2AM? Is there a reason to search you, or is it just because it's 2AM?
• 2:43:45
  Brian McFadden: There's a reason to search you.
• 2:43:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, you can't just search people for no reason.
• 2:43:50
  Testecleese: So, just the fact that it's aptitude 2, she said it's not okay. Like, let's be real, most of your super illegal stuff happens in the middle of the night when it comes to, like, smuggling
• 2:44:00
  Testecleese: And such things.
• 2:44:02
  Brian McFadden: That's why 9 times out of 10, I'm not out past dark anymore.
• 2:44:05
  Testecleese: I believe Ted Mosby from Big Bang… Not Big Bang Theory, how I mentioned Mother said, nothing good happens after 2 AM.
• 2:44:16
  Ron Pascoe: That's fine.
• 2:44:17
  Testecleese: That's actually…
• 2:44:17
  Ron Pascoe: You're doing, Tim?
• 2:44:19
  Testecleese: Huh?
• 2:44:20
  Ron Pascoe: I thought it was midnight, but yeah, I'll go with 2.
• 2:44:23
  Testecleese: Well, if you're in your 30s, you could be out past midnight.
• 2:44:27
  Testecleese: And not have issues. After 2, things start to go bad, you know?
• 2:44:32
  Testecleese: I'm missing.
• 2:44:35
  Testecleese: Oh, this is… I don't… I don't know what to think of this.
• 2:44:40
  Testecleese: The former mayor of New York, what's his name? Adams, was it?
• 2:44:44
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, there it is.
• 2:44:46
  Testecleese: I didn't particularly care for him, but at least the guy… Is a decent human.
• 2:44:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:44:53
  Testecleese: He doesn't understand why.
• 2:44:55
  Testecleese: He came out and publicly said, why, Mom, Don? You didn't say a damn thing.
• 2:44:59
  Testecleese: About a child being beaten to death, And then shot…
• 2:45:04
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:45:04
  Testecleese: And then shot for good measure in a park.
• 2:45:08
  Testecleese: Like, why weren't.
• 2:45:09
  Brian McFadden: The New York City park!
• 2:45:11
  Testecleese: Yes, why was this not addressed? Like, I thought the parks were supposed to be safe.
• 2:45:18
  Testecleese: That's…
• 2:45:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, they beat the kid, apparently, to live, like, an inch of his life, and then shot him in the chest… Wow. To kill him.
• 2:45:26
  Testecleese: And I read this to the wife, she's like, why'd they bother beating him up? I was like, to torture him.
• 2:45:31
  Testecleese: They wanted to hurt this kid, and then kill him.
• 2:45:34
  Testecleese: Just killing him wasn't good enough.
• 2:45:37
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:45:38
  Testecleese: This is… this is the kind of shit that needs to be stopped.
• 2:45:42
  Brian McFadden: That's dope.
• 2:45:43
  Testecleese: And there was a bunch of other fucking kids that did this, and like, it was…
• 2:45:46
  Testecleese: Never came up anywhere, it was never a big story, this should have made nationwide news, and you know as a fact
• 2:45:55
  Testecleese: Had that not been a white kid getting beaten up by minority groups.
• 2:46:00
  Testecleese: It would have made national news.
• 2:46:02
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 2:46:06
  Testecleese: Little… mmm…
• 2:46:09
  Ron Pascoe: The problem is, mate, youth these days are allowed to get away with crimes.
• 2:46:14
  Ron Pascoe: In my day, your day, and Brian's day, mate, if we had done something wrong, I would have been flogged from head to toe.
• 2:46:20
  Ron Pascoe: I'll look at my ass kicks…
• 2:46:21
  Testecleese: I would've got my ass kicked by my father, then handed over to the police.
• 2:46:25
  Ron Pascoe: The police, yeah. Mate, I'll tell you what, they're taking away all the police's authority. They're taking away authority to parents these days, especially in Australia. You can't smack your kids no more.
• 2:46:35
  Testecleese: I'm allowed to spank my children, in West Virginia.
• 2:46:40
  Testecleese: But, I cannot just, like…
• 2:46:44
  Ron Pascoe: Violently coming out, taking them, yeah.
• 2:46:46
  Testecleese: I remember I called my mother a bitch once when I was, like, 15.
• 2:46:50
  Testecleese: And my father said, don't you ever speak to my wife that way. And I realized I was in trouble, because he said, my wife, not your mother.
• 2:46:58
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah. He tweets!
• 2:47:00
  Testecleese: He took me outside, like, it was 1920-style boxing, like, put up your dukes, right? And I'm like, I'm 15, I got no fucking dukes. And he kicked my ass.
• 2:47:10
  Testecleese: And I learned a lesson in respect that day.
• 2:47:13
  Ron Pascoe: Yep. Mate, I went to an all-boys Catholic school. Mate, you had to look after yourself, you had to learn respect, and you had to learn how to, like, fight and look after yourself. We were came daily, and I'll tell you what, I learned nothing but respect.
• 2:47:26
  Ron Pascoe: More parents than that, and that's what they're taking away now. There's no accountability for interruptions.
• 2:47:31
  Testecleese: And you can handle more bullshit before you have to react, because you were disciplined.
• 2:47:39
  Testecleese: You remember actual discipline. Like, this isn't as bad as that, I don't have to get involved yet. But I think that's a big problem with this cultural shift, is…
• 2:47:48
  Testecleese: The generations that were disciplined in such a way to… Force respect.
• 2:47:56
  Testecleese: went away.
• 2:47:58
  Testecleese: And now these kids have no respect for anything, and no one's going to enforce any of these rules.
• 2:48:03
  Brian McFadden: Well, apparently in Idaho they will, because they've got a new law in place.
• 2:48:07
  Testecleese: Whoa, hold on, you're about to…
• 2:48:09
  Testecleese: You're about to jump the shark on this one.
• 2:48:13
  Testecleese: Idaho… Has said that, Child sex offenders, child molesters.
• 2:48:23
  Testecleese: And… up, basically, in terms of evilness.
• 2:48:26
  Testecleese: Are now eligible for the death sentence.
• 2:48:29
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:48:30
  Testecleese: Do you know what's… do you know what's fascinating about Idaho's death sentence laws?
• 2:48:35
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:48:37
  Testecleese: Oh.
• 2:48:38
  Testecleese: Idaho uses a fucking firing squad!
• 2:48:41
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:48:46
  Testecleese: So, yeah, you diddle kids in Idaho, you might be lined up with a cigarette in your mouth and a blindfold on, and 5 dudes with rifles pointed at your heart.
• 2:48:56
  Ron Pascoe: How much… how much does it cost for a single bullet these days?
• 2:48:59
  Testecleese: It's very cheap, but you know what? A rope is reusable.
• 2:49:04
  Ron Pascoe: Amazing.
• 2:49:06
  Testecleese: A proper hanging… a proper hanging is a very human… humane death.
• 2:49:12
  Brian McFadden: And it looks like… go ahead.
• 2:49:14
  Testecleese: Assuming you're not dangling, they're choking, slowly strangling.
• 2:49:19
  Testecleese: A proper hanging should break your neck.
• 2:49:22
  Testecleese: It should kill you instantly.
• 2:49:25
  Testecleese: you could reuse that rope over and over again, and I believe there's a couple states that still do hangings as an option, because most states give you an option if you're going to be executed. Which one do you want to go by?
• 2:49:36
  Testecleese: like, for example, Florida, you still have an option to use the electric chair.
• 2:49:43
  Ron Pascoe: I wouldn't like that one.
• 2:49:45
  Testecleese: No, lethal injection sounds better, but remember a couple years ago, they botched one, and the dude, like, screamed in agony for, like, 2 hours before he died?
• 2:49:55
  Brian McFadden: Well, they got rid of the… the drug companies wouldn't let them use the drugs they used to use.
• 2:50:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, then, okay, okay, I get it. No, I'll respect the Hippocratic Oath.
• 2:50:05
  Testecleese: I refuse to make this medic… this drug because it does harm.
• 2:50:09
  Testecleese: I can respect that. Then, you know what? A bullet is effective.
• 2:50:14
  Testecleese: And they're not very expensive.
• 2:50:17
  Ron Pascoe: And cheaper.
• 2:50:18
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah!
• 2:50:19
  Ron Pascoe: Think of the taxpayer, always think of the taxpayer.
• 2:50:22
  Testecleese: Exactly, it's like, oh…
• 2:50:23
  Testecleese: I have no idea what round they're using, but my deer rifle, it's a little under $2 a round if I only buy a small box instead of a big box.
• 2:50:33
  Testecleese: So, I mean, and you got 5 rifles.
• 2:50:36
  Brian McFadden: Well, you buy a small box.
• 2:50:39
  Testecleese: Well, the wife got me a small box when she bought me the rifle for Christmas.
• 2:50:45
  Testecleese: And, then I went and bought a bigger box, because that was only, like, 20 rounds, I think?
• 2:50:53
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 2:50:54
  Testecleese: Yeah, well… Again, even when I buy the bigger box, it's still only, like, a… $1.50 a round.
• 2:51:04
  Testecleese: so I don't use that rifle a whole lot for playing around, you know what I mean? It's…
• 2:51:08
  Testecleese: Well, it's a 308, it's a decent.
• 2:51:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, for 100.
• 2:51:11
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's a decent cartridge. That sucker is for shooting things at, like, a half mile…
• 2:51:17
  Testecleese: Up to a mile and a half away.
• 2:51:19
  Brian McFadden: Nice.
• 2:51:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's not my handgun where rounds cost 50 cents, 40 cents.
• 2:51:26
  Testecleese: Shit, the 22 rounds are, like, 11 cents a piece?
• 2:51:31
  Testecleese: And I tell you what, pulling out the 22 revolvers?
• 2:51:36
  Testecleese: And just going nuts in the backyard is a ton of fun, playing cowboy, you know what I mean?
• 2:51:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:51:42
  Ron Pascoe: Who would live, live, am I?
• 2:51:44
  Testecleese: Oh, and the .22 revolvers are both single action?
• 2:51:49
  Testecleese: So that means you physically have to cock the hammer every time you fire it.
• 2:51:53
  Testecleese: like an old Western. It's just… it's a… it's a fun gun to have.
• 2:51:58
  Testecleese: And… It's, within all regulations and a effective gun for rabbits.
• 2:52:09
  Testecleese: So, you know, I don't know if either of you guys like rabbit stew at all.
• 2:52:14
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, I don't mind, rabbit.
• 2:52:15
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's not a great tasting animal, that's about as far down the food chain as I'll go.
• 2:52:21
  Ron Pascoe: Yeah, it's pretty dry meat. You've got to cook it really slow, really slow.
• 2:52:25
  Testecleese: You got… oh, you chop… you chop the meat up, and you put it in a stew.
• 2:52:30
  Testecleese: With vegetables and everything, and broth.
• 2:52:33
  Testecleese: And that… and let the meat absorb that instead of… yeah.
• 2:52:37
  Ron Pascoe: For a kangaroo, you go to Flesh Coat Kangaroo?
• 2:52:41
  Testecleese: That's what I hear. I hear it's, ve…
• 2:52:43
  Brian McFadden: There was a guy on the new master
• 2:52:45
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they cooked kangaroo last week.
• 2:52:48
  Testecleese: No shit, huh?
• 2:52:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's gotta be, like, medium rare or rare before… otherwise…
• 2:52:54
  Testecleese: It's so late.
• 2:52:54
  Brian McFadden: tough.
• 2:52:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:52:56
  Ron Pascoe: Four seconds on your side.
• 2:52:58
  Testecleese: Well, just like trying to cook bear.
• 2:53:01
  Testecleese: like… basically, no matter what you do with bear, it's not gonna taste good. You know what I mean?
• 2:53:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:53:08
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 2:53:11
  Ron Pascoe: It's just that it doesn't hold a lot of fat. Kangaroos have got a lot of fat in them.
• 2:53:15
  Testecleese: That's right, yeah, it's very lean.
• 2:53:17
  Ron Pascoe: Very, very lean. It's one of the lonest meats you can eat.
• 2:53:20
  Testecleese: That's what I hear, but you need fat in your diet.
• 2:53:24
  Testecleese: Now, do people know that?
• 2:53:26
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:53:27
  Ron Pascoe: Good sausage is a good 80-20 ratio.
• 2:53:31
  Testecleese: Well, that's a big issue that we had in a long time here in the States, especially people moving out west, coming through Appalachian Mountains, was, rabbit starvation.
• 2:53:43
  Testecleese: Rabbits, you know, don't have enough nutrition in them.
• 2:53:47
  Testecleese: to feed you.
• 2:53:49
  Testecleese: No matter how many rabbits you eat, you will never get the nutrition you need.
• 2:53:53
  Testecleese: So, like, you can go rabbit hunting every day, because they're everywhere.
• 2:53:57
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:53:57
  Testecleese: You're still gonna starve to death.
• 2:54:01
  Testecleese: I thought it was very interesting that you have to have something else, and it might explain why there's so many fruit trees on my property, honestly, that are already bearing fruit.
• 2:54:15
  Testecleese: What's up with this, I thought we already handled ICE in Border Patrol, or was that just ice?
• 2:54:20
  Brian McFadden: Oh, there was a temporary solution, where Trump, like, pre-funded a bunch of their budget, but this will fully fund
• 2:54:29
  Brian McFadden: them for well into the future. They're using the budget reconciliation process to push it through.
• 2:54:38
  Brian McFadden: Without Democrat support.
• 2:54:44
  Testecleese: Alright, what the hell is… oh, I got a muted, that's what… sorry, I was trying to do something else and couldn't understand why I couldn't hear what I was doing.
• 2:54:51
  Testecleese: She's what the hell?
• 2:54:55
  Testecleese: Oh, God. I'm getting my ass kicked by my computer here, dude.
• 2:54:59
  Brian McFadden: It happens.
• 2:55:01
  Testecleese: It does happen, it's embarrassing every time.
• 2:55:04
  Testecleese: I completely missed everything you just said.
• 2:55:07
  Testecleese: Oh, okay, so they're going to… they figured out how to somehow pay IP.
• 2:55:12
  Brian McFadden: Filibuster, filibuster proof it.
• 2:55:17
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:55:19
  Testecleese: So, are the Republicans gonna do anything about this filibuster? Because I keep hearing, oh, then the Democrats will. The Democrats…
• 2:55:26
  Brian McFadden: No, I don't, I do not believe that Republicans are getting rid of the filibuster.
• 2:55:32
  Testecleese: You don't think it's gonna happen?
• 2:55:36
  Testecleese: because, I mean, jeez, the Dems, all they did was accuse Trump of, malicious prosecution.
• 2:55:43
  Testecleese: And that's all they've done.
• 2:55:46
  Testecleese: the whole time.
• 2:55:48
  Ron Pascoe: Yep.
• 2:55:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:55:50
  Testecleese: and it's…
• 2:55:51
  Testecleese: I don't know, it's like, to run as a Democrat, you have to have read Rules for Radicals.
• 2:55:59
  Testecleese: And I think that's a big problem that we're seeing right now, is exactly what's happened with, like, Swalwell, and what happened with Biden and, Bernie Sanders.
• 2:56:11
  Testecleese: radicals… will, turn on you in a heartbeat if it's gonna help them.
• 2:56:18
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:56:19
  Testecleese: I mean, Robespierre lost his head in the French Revolution, and he was the one who ran the whole thing.
• 2:56:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:56:27
  Testecleese: And, I don't know, it just seems like a lot of people don't seem to notice these things, and…
• 2:56:32
  Testecleese: I mean, look what they did to Bernie Sanders.
• 2:56:35
  Testecleese: Well, when he was running against Hillary for the primary.
• 2:56:39
  Brian McFadden: He won the primaries. He was gonna win.
• 2:56:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:56:43
  Brian McFadden: It is more popular.
• 2:56:45
  Testecleese: He was gonna be the nominee for president, but they wanted Hillary Clinton.
• 2:56:48
  Testecleese: So they made someone else drop out of the race.
• 2:56:52
  Testecleese: to take the votes away from them to give to Hillary.
• 2:56:56
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:56:57
  Testecleese: It's just… I don't know, man, it's… and I'm pretty sure that's what they did to Swalwell in California, was because…
• 2:57:04
  Testecleese: There still might be two Republicans on the ticket, and no Democrats, because of this ranked choice thing.
• 2:57:11
  Brian McFadden: The ranked choice voting. It worked well for him for years, so we'll see what happens this time around.
• 2:57:16
  Testecleese: Isn't that what we say every time, Brian, that the Democrats do something like this? Is that, this is gonna come around, and it's gonna bite them in the ass, and they're gonna be pissed off and want to get rid of it right away, and they're the ones who put it into place in the first place.
• 2:57:27
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:57:28
  Testecleese: It happens over and over again, they keep doing it.
• 2:57:30
  Brian McFadden: How are you?
• 2:57:32
  Testecleese: criminally.
• 2:57:34
  Testecleese: Anyone.
• 2:57:38
  Audio shared by Testecleese: That's our shit up.
• 2:57:40
  Brian McFadden: I'm gonna crunch it all!
