Enjoying being close to family. I’ll be with the rest of the family Friday. L.S. you girl are going to over it.
She’s ready for it. She’ll overnight the man Keeney. Whatever gets her to the finish line first.
Absolutely bumble and bounty. It seems like you have to run so quickly. But we need to get to our fun infestivities this evening.
Let’s bounce over to here. Lot’s happening in Iraq. I mean a lot.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce VP treasury. We’re talking about the U.S. treasury is to actively back Iraq’s economic growth. They’re going to help make loans available, dollars available, industries, specialists, consultants.
You name it. The U.S. I did not expect this level of engagement. This is the largest economic group of businessmen to come and visit Iraq.
We’ve seen where Francis sent folks, where the U.K. sent folks, Titus sent folks. This is the largest to date with the most promises of dollars and a really interesting one. They penned while they were there.
I wonder if it’s in the United States. They’ve agreed about 30 megawatts worth of construction total one plant alone, 24,000 megawatt plant. They have done the plans, signing the contracts, making it happen.
This is all part of replacing any Iranian dependency. This one’s huge storage systems. Some of 3000 megawatts will be solar to the rest of traditional gas burning.
This is just awesome to watch. Combined gas power plants with capacity of approximately 24,000 megawatts. Total between all the different upgrades, new plants, it’s expected to be about 30,000 megawatts of power.
Really big one. Exciting day for Iraq with business promises. You’ll kind of see where this is leading because we get a comment coming out of Sudan that you guys are going to love.
All right. Again, JP Morgan prepared to fund investment initiatives in Iraq. They’re setting it up.
They’re ready for all those to keep telling you that all Chase have nothing to do with Iraq. Come on guys. Do they not read? Do they not know what their bank’s doing? Delegation from JP Morgan stated on Tuesday that the bank would be open to funding many investment initiatives in the Iraq, in Iraq, directly or through financial institutions.
Anyway, they want to do it. They want in makes feel warm and fuzzy about them handling like, you know, in exchange values does make. Well, don’t know how about warming fuzzy with them, but it works.
All right. Here’s the fun one. Sudanese Iraq today enjoys political and security and security stability and is witnessing an unprecedented development.
Renaissance, they get into a lot of like specifics, the goods, what they’re doing, the gas lines, et cetera in here, but I’m going to keep it pretty short and simple. Give me safe, stable. I’ll give you an increased purchasing power.
Shabibi, Sudan. Matter of fact, I need to look to see if Sudanese economic advisor has used those same words or not, but this is what they told us, give us safe, give us stable. We’ll give you a new denar.
Here we go. Iraq today, according to the president, enjoys political and security stability, safe and stable. It’s time for a new rate, guys.
Time for a new rate. We got more fun stuff happening in news. I know I’m going quickly, guys, I am ripping.
I heard you missed 122 chats in those few seconds between the last two articles. I’m with you, Navy D. Let’s go, right? Heard that before. Let’s go.
They told us that’s when they would do it and how they’re telling us they are there. Let’s do it. Treasury Department announces new appointees.
I could have moved this one one over, but this works right here. Today’s Secretary of Treasury Scott Passen announced key appointments for senior positions at the U.S. Department of Treasury. All three of them specialty is international tax affairs, international tax.
All three of them really makes you feel a little more warm and fuzzy about the new external Department of Revenue. Born, or should I say international taxes, a few of them especially have a lot of experience in tariffs as well. Guys, our tax structure is about to change.
Buckle up. They’re showing us all the signs. All right, time to squeeze.
China’s head to the wall. Kevin O’Leary, Shark Tank. Kevin O’Leary calls for 400% tariffs.
Really shocked that this was on a CNN panel. Democratic panelists on CNN were left stunned when Shark tanks Kevin O’Leary called for 400% tariffs on China. Praising President Trump’s trade war against the Chinese Communist Party.
This is not something they were expecting. Lyric Hughes, the CCP of cheating, stealing U.S. intellectual property, denying legal records in its courts, stealing American products and technology to manufacture and sell back to the U.S. They’ve been doing it forever. One thing I forgot to mention this morning in the, I forget what it was, 28,000 word or whatever rebuttal, I guess you could call it, that China gave to the U.S. When they said, hey, we don’t manipulate our currency.
We never have. We’re just making goods cheaper. Total BS.
And then they said they’re worried that the U.S. may steal some of their intellectual property. I think we kind of owe them stealing some of their intellectual property after decades of them stealing ours. They’re now claiming they are more technically superior to us and we’re stealing theirs.
It doesn’t check out guys. So I got to kick out of this one. Kevin O’Leary sees it.
He’s like, look, this is going to bring back better yet. Let’s use treasury, the sense words. For the last four decades, Wall Street has grown wealthier than ever before and it can continue to grow and do well.
But for the next four years, it’s main streets turn. It’s main streets turn to hire workers. It’s main streets turn to drive investment.
It is main streets turn to restore the American dream. What if I keep screaming? You guys have heard it over and over about Wall Street and Main Street. They no longer connect.
They are trying to replace that connection. They’re trying to unblock that intersection so we can take a right on prosperity lane. I just love it.
Take away here’s a Trump’s administration of using tariff wars to force a fair trade deal with China after the CCP abused trading partners for decades. Such a deal could alter the course of U.S. history. Marking the early innings of restoring the heart lane just as percent described with the next four years focused on Main Street.
Democrats very much failed a grasp of it. Yeah, they’re small though. Main thing thing.
I’m loving it. Joe, we’re going to talk about that. Matter of fact, let’s just go ahead and dive into that one.
I should have done that one probably first thing. Let me pull some notes here. Not that I think I need them.
Pretty easy. It’s getting a little tough what I can and can’t say. I can tell you that the two bond contacts that I was hoping to hear from, the ones that I know very well personally, they’re going straight to voicemail.
They also told me that if there’s an NDA, my calls will go straight to voicemail. They would just ask the phones, get a new number. So I’m very hopeful that that’s what it means.
I have had a lot, a lot of bankers saying that rates are populating, which is unusual. In the past, we’ve seen maybe the NAR pop up, on off swing values. We’ve seen DONG pop in off.
We’ve seen Indonesia. We’ve seen a number of them pop in and off, but not all of them. They all seem to be populating and bouncing some strange values.
I would not read too much into the values they’re showing. We’ve seen the DONG range almost $10 from top to bottom for they have. I wasn’t sitting in front of their screens.
We have seen some very interesting, well, figures today. We don’t know what is accurate, so I’m not going to get into what’s showing because it is. It’s a range from pennies to over 10 bucks, which means, come on guys, you will be taking a dart at any time the screens moving and throw it and hope that’s what it ends up, that they are appear to be populating all the currencies.
That’s your excitement point. It could well be, could be well, they are preparing for a release on that one. Bonds, another conversation with a humanitarian group, they are saying that they have started funding humanitarian groups.
They have not had their turn yet. They’re the group. I’ve got the most context in, so I’m hoping to get a response from them that they have received their humanitarian fund dollars, which could be absolutely enormous.
That would definitely tell us we are off to the races, but that is one that has been going around that they have now are now fully funding humanitarian groups so that they are prepared to distribute. It’s getting exciting out there. Stay calm, cross your fingers.
It’d be interesting to see what Mike has this evening. See if he’s hearing anything similarly. They did not tell me if they’ve seen a rate on Bolivar or Pango, the only ones that they expressly talked about were Dinar, Dong, and Indonesia.
See, Rig just said Scott Besant clearly states in his press conference, they want to discuss with each country before bringing down the tariffs, non-trade tariff fairs, and discuss currency manipulation, currency manipulation. What did China do today? They’re claiming they weren’t responsible for it, but it appears to counter US tariffs that want exchange rate falls. They’re trying to weaken it to improve their trade position.
This is exactly what he’s going after. Stay calm, but this is getting fun. Yeah, that is some big dong.
We’ll see what it actually occurs at. No part of me thinks it’s going for $10 or $11. All right, another great one from saying you were Trump.
Here is a post he made earlier based on the lack of respect to China shown to the world’s markets. I hereby raising the tariff charge to China by the United States of America, get 125% effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that today’s are ripping off the US and other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable conversely and based on the fact that more than 75 countries are called representatives of the United States, including Department of Commerce, Treasury, and USTR.
To negotiate a solution to the population, and you guys noticed how often he is saying currency manipulation and non monetary tariffs and that these countries have not. And my strong suggestion retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States. I’ve authorized a 90 day pause that is substantially lower reciprocal tariff during this period of 10% also effective immediately.
Thank you for your attention to the closing 2,962.86 points up. They’re making they’re making it very clear you come to the table. Your stock market goes up.
Quit screwing America and you do better. I’m loving how this one’s working. All right, two more quick ones.
Then we’re going to get to whiskey and wisdom, The Peel’s Court clears Trump administration to resume mass terminations of newer workers. Peel’s Court that had told them they had to send them back, had to pay them back money, all those questions, well, they terminated their judgment. They’re saying, look, based on what Supreme Court’s doing, we don’t think we’re going to be allowed to have standing.
In other words, they’re going to go ahead and reverse it. So because of that, here it is, the government is likely to succeed in showing the district court lack jurisdiction over plaintiff’s claims. And the government is unlikely to recover the funds disburse to reinstated probationary employees.
Judge Allison Jones rushing said in his opinion with Judge J. Harvey Wilkinson III, so they decided to drop that because they felt like it was going to get overturned and made no sense. I just love it. Because of Trump forcing the constitutional crisis, we are now, it’s now becoming very clear.
Who has jurisdiction? Who doesn’t? This is massive this week. I don’t think people understand how big a curve he has thrown the deep state. Or should I say the activist judge is just huge.
A quick breakdown, the pen verdict, the rationale, the criticisms and the politics. They’re saying that she embezzled because in politics, they had employees that also helped work for her party. They were paid from through the government, but they also helped the party.
This happens all over the world. Every single one of her politicians have done that. Let’s stop and think about this.
Do you think that staff at the Biden White House, do you think they were volunteering down at the Republican Committee or convention? No, they were working on Democrat projects for Democrat things, re-elections, you name it. This happens all over the world. You can find many examples in French politics, but this is the very, very weak sauce that they came up with to shut down the pen.
It is already starting to lead to a lot of unrest in France, as the right is starting to rise up. Remember that red and blue in most politics in the world are opposite of what they are in the US. If you’re blue, you’re conservative.
If you’re red, you’re liberal in most other countries. So if you decide to read this article, I just want to give you guys that reminder so you’re not confused. Let’s see, Mayor Adams, correcting media, talking about how Biden took seven billion from New York.
So why is news bashing Trump? Two million. Adams, where? Maybe I’d have to get the basis on that one, but it sounds fun. Season to change, huge, huge out of a glass of ice so that I can pour some whiskey and join these fellas.
What’s up, guys? Bro, I’m not wearing my whiskey and wisdom shirt. It is, yeah, the traveling. I’m going to blame it.
At least you got a UFO Expo and a black shirt. UFO Expo is my company after I’m going to form with Tom Reed. You know, Tom, you’ve had him in North Carolina.
After… What are you doing in North Carolina? You never told me you were going to North Carolina? What’s up with that? Like, don’t you check in with me when you move from country to… Yeah, no. I mean, don’t you read the boards? It’s for the exchange. No, no, no.
My niece is wedding. Yes. As I do, I have to keep track of your play.
I don’t know what is happening. So I wanted to clarify something, if you don’t mind, the beginning zester. It was attributed to me, apparently, this week that I said that the rate on the dong was $4.29. I would like to clarify that since I did not say that.
Now, I do know two people who have exchanged DoNG. They’ve exchanged dong actually more than a month ago. One of whom is liquid on his funds.
The bank said, go ahead and spend it. And one of whom is still pending. One got $2.12 and the other got $2.
Now, these are bank rates. These are not exchange center rates. So don’t get upset or disappointed or anything like that.
The $4.29 comes from a reading Jen did, gosh, probably two years ago. Jen and I corrected this on our show today. Tell the truth Wednesday on Real News Live with Mike and Jen on Rumble.
Go there and give us a rumble red. She got $4.29 when somebody asked her about the dong rate like two years ago. There was no decimal involved.
So she doesn’t know whether that’s .429, which would be $0.43, which would still, by the way, be a really, really huge return on your Vietnamese dong. Or it was $4.29. But that’s what she got ages ago. So that’s where that came from.
And I believe the other day, I was just repeating it. And somebody said, Mike Barra said that the dong rate is going to be $4.29. Well, I don’t know that to be the case. I know of no one who’s exchanged at that rate.
And we wait to see what kind of a rate we get when we eventually go to the redemption centers, which is hopefully, you know, as soon as the show gets over. Actually, Mark, I did hear that they are waiting to release the RV until whiskey and wisdom is over because it is simply too dangerous to release it while we are on the air. Well, there were actually, it’s more like a drink driving.
Yeah, just too dangerous to release it while we’re talking about, you know, boobies. Yeah, well, all I see is there being, you know, 10,000 drunk people running, you know, to the airport. So yeah, I mean, it’s, I can understand it, I guess, I can understand.
It’s at least worth considering. It’s being held off until we’re done here today. Wouldn’t it be funny if you just released it right after the show, just to mock us? Yeah, wouldn’t it be awesome? Somebody asking when you’re headed back to North.
Fred, it depends. The flight he was going to be on got canceled. So we’re scrambling, trying to figure out how to get him here right now.
Yeah, we’re currently trying to figure that that one. Yeah, but you asked it a bad time. Family might be watching and we haven’t had the conversation with them yet as we’ve been scrambling, trying to chase down and figuring out how to make it happen.
You left your boy in Puerto Rico surrounded by those beautiful Latino women. Yeah, it’s been so tough on them. I would think it would be like the castle anthrax and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
It’s simply too perilous for zesty to be there. It’s been that that that’s some taller, dark-headed Puerto Rican lady hasn’t already like climbed into his house or something. We did not be too perilous for zesty.
It is. It’s not. It could be.
Well, we had plenty of things that needed to continue to be worked on. And I didn’t have the full week. And so we were going to come back on the same thing, same flight.
But now we’re trying to figure that all out. We’re trying. Yeah.
So bear with us on that one. Hey, you know, the thing about having zester though as a kid is that one of these days soon we’re going to call you Grapes. Hey, grandpa, how’s it going? Yeah, see, Marta, Kukla, all I can say is mine ended up covered in dog hair.
So, yeah. Well, I had cleaners here so I couldn’t run in and get it on. And it’s also I got, you know, I had to like close the office off because I had people vacuuming and everything trying to keep quiet in here.
There are boobs. Yes, there are boobs in this chat. I see them over here.
You know, I’m sure many of the ladies in the chat do have boobs. So, yes, we’re just going to talk about them. We’re not going to show any of them.
So, yeah, Ru really likes granddad. Wow. So, whiskey and wisdom shirt is covered in blonde lab hair.
Wow. Like we’re covered in blonde lab hair. So, yeah, I wasn’t wearing it tonight.
Don’t you love that when you wash your shirt and you get it out of the wash and you think it’s all clean and then you put it on in the dark. It’s kind of dark in your room or your house. Step out in the right.
Yeah, thank you. Who is having fun, Ali? But I have it with me and I was prepared to wear it. Wasn’t prepared for a shedding lab.
It was getting rid of our winter coat right now. I need a short sleeve version for the summertime because it gets too hot. And we have gone over 80 degrees for the first time here recently.
So, it’s only going to get warmer from here on out. I’ll get the dog. Yeah, wait, what I need to know what you’re laughing at.
No, there may not be a comment made earlier that was particularly funny and particularly inappropriate that I noticed, but no, I don’t think there would be any need to re-highlight that one. The one about your mustache? Is that the one we’re talking about? No, no, no, no, no. What they didn’t have anything to do with me.
They didn’t have anything to do with me. What do you do with the funny one? Okay, we’ll just leave it there. All right, keep running.
Exactly. Good. You guys.
All right. We have a national emergency. We do the Buffalo Trace distillery has flooded like yesterday.
Massive flooding. Oh my God. Buffalo Trace, there could be some supply issues.
Guys, if you’re Buffalo Trace fan, you can look this up in the news. I’ll see if I can find you a story. Some of the pictures are just like, wow.
Well, yeah, I just remember the hurricane last year and beer docks where we were all drinking a year and a half ago, you know, was underwater. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I want to like that place.
It was iconic. Bourbon distillery predicts extensive damage after flooding. Let’s see if we can hit the continue reading Buffalo Trace.
They’ll show some of this in the background, guys. Some of the flooding going on. No, wait a minute.
Right now they’re talking about everything, but I need you to skip the ad and get on to what’s important here. There you go. Now we’re getting on to the flooding.
And we speed it up so we can get to the Buffalo Trace to the actual. Here we go. Bloom’s Hill.
Come on. I want to see the Buffalo Trace distillery. I had another video earlier that showed the distillery and oh my goodness, was it something? Oh, well, I’ll keep searching.
But it is a potential national emergency. Penny, who needs a wife, me or zester or Mark, which one, you have to be specific on this show, which one of us you’re talking about. We’ll see what they say, but I do have something that I thought would be fun to talk about.
I don’t know. I have a lot of different opinions, feelings on. Did you see on Zero Hedge, and it’s been covered on a variety of different outlets that some scientists have attempted to actually create the dire wolf and bring it back out of extinction.
We’re talking about that. Was it this morning, guys, or? Yeah, they do have to have two pumps. And I’m just curious on this one.
Where’s everybody kind of sit on the idea of? So we have the genetic sequence of animals. Massed on seasheaves that have absolutely gone extinct. Where do people have a lie on that one? Because I could argue in every different direction, I feel like, about whether it’s right, wrong, and different, unimportant, or absolutely horrifying.
But where does everybody come sit on it? Well, as long as they don’t own the loss of raptors, I’m fine with it. Yeah, yeah. The loss of raptors and the t-rex is where I’m trying to find dangerous animals.
I mean, hypothetically speaking, the mosquito is the most dangerous animal on the planet. Yeah. Technically speaking, the mosquito kills more human beings than any other animal in sector.
So you’re saying I can stop worrying about sharks and tornadoes? Sharknados? Sharknados, yeah. What’s on the plane? Do I still have to worry about snakes on the plane? Yes, that is still a concern. Well, we could probably bring back an ancient extinct snake eater that could come back and eat all the snakes.
And then you wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore. It’s just such an odd thing to kind of consider back and forth because does it feel like humans are playing God? I mean, yes, to a degree. But also we were left with the information and the ability to do this is to say we weren’t supposed to.
You know, I don’t know. I feel like there’s so many different ways to look at it. Well, you know, the way I look at it is the dire wolves shouldn’t, they want extinct extinct for a reason.
And the only reason to bring it back is to tell George RR Martin, we will give you a pair only if you finish the winds of winter. By the way, that’s going to like, you know, right. But I have I have a friend, I have a friend who knows George RR Martin and George RR Martin is not only batshit crazy, but he spends all of his time oops, batsh is crazy, spends all of his time riding around on his trains.
You know, it’s two trains painted like dragons, by the way, and drink scotch whiskey all the time. And he said five to seven years at the earliest that he would finish that. I don’t think George RR Martin’s going to live another five to seven years.
Well, we’re never going to get a real ending to Game of Thrones, the imp was a Targaryen. It’s so obvious that he’s the real emperor, but oh no, or the king or whatever. We’re never going to get that any because George isn’t going to give it to us.
George is too smart to provide the actual ending. George knows that he essentially created the perfect storm of him never finishing it because now his IP is limitless. His IP will never be yeah, not valuable because anybody and everybody gets to complete the story.
And because he’s gotten it to be so famous and so popular, the worst thing he can do is finish the story. Because the conversations over nobody cares about it anymore. Well, all I know is if the boulevard and the zim rates are really as high as people say, and I’m a multi multi billionaire, you know what I’m going to do with that money? I’m going to reshoot the last two hours of Game of Thrones.
That’s that’s what and the last two hours of Battlestar Galactica. Those are my top chip in. I’ll chip in some dollars for that one because I was particularly offended.
Did you see that? How will we possibly who’s to say that we don’t get a drag? And like, I know it seems like craziness, but we really have only gotten into this time period of the idea of genuine gene editing. It really is new. You know, so we haven’t even had enough time for any of these cultures to evolve to adulthood.
Zester, the thing is species go extinct for a reason. And we should probably respect that reason. Yeah, I mean, they’ve been disappearing, falling off the face of the earth.
Not as long as they’re an endangered species. But I mean, what do we do when my I mean, you didn’t procreate. I mean, I did my best to try to create another one or two, but you did nothing.
Dude, medbeds are coming. We get the girl, the kids out quickly. I’ll start popping them out.
All right, as soon as we have the medbeds getting everything prepared. I mean, we want to see you with a baby bulge, like going around with a belly. We just want, no, no, we just need to find me some young fertile lady cards to make some babies.
And then we’ll keep that masculinity going. You know what, Mark? Masculinity doesn’t have to be inherited. It can be taught.
Like that example. It’s a young fertile baby, baby machine. That’s all we need.
I think it does. It definitely lends into kind of a deeper question, though, because who knows where it could genuinely go? Yeah, when we start to actually think about the technology and the capabilities, you know, who’s to say that we don’t end up with superior farm animals or superior all kinds of things, but at what risk? It’s a terrifying process. I would, you know, Zester, here’s the other thing to the flip side of this is I would love to enjoy a steak at the Golden Steer.
I would love to have a filet at the Golden Steer. But I wish that an adorable, sweet farm animal didn’t have to die for me to enjoy that. So I can see some advantages to this in that shouldn’t they be able to hopefully just grow just the filet apart? You know, can’t they just grow that part and not grow the whole living conscious animal? You know, and then I can have my steak without harming another sweet cow? I mean, they already do that.
That’s that lab-grown meat? No, but that’s like fake meat. That’s not real meat. I’m talking about real DNA meat, though, like real DNA meat.
They take real DNA muscle cells and populate it in a culture, and you eat it out of a beetry dish. It’s not the same thing. There will be no nutrition.
It won’t. I’m going to run with what Jen said on this one. No, I don’t know.
I mean, it kind of makes me think about like the conversations and discussions that were ongoing around the development and the utilization of stem cells. Where essentially we had the same argument going on, where everybody is like, Nope, bad. All bad.
Must be bad. Don’t trust it. It’s got to be bad.
But now as we look, we’ve had new scientific techniques developed in terms of developing, growing stem cells and everything else. You know, I don’t know. It’s just such a weird area.
Yeah. I grew up on a farm. We named the animals.
We enjoyed the animals. We gave thanks for Betsy as we were eating her. We’re talking about a cow here.
Steak some burgers, guys. There’s a level of detachment that I do not have that you have. I don’t need a farm.
I guess that’s why I’m a weak ass city boy. You know, I can look at a squirrel and shoot it and go well, before I shoot, I’ll be all in that cute little squirrel. Pam.
Pam. I got no problem with it. See, there’s enough masculinity just here.
Well, at least you and me, Mark, I don’t know about him, but you know, there’s enough masculinity right here. You can see very odd. You turn him loose with, you know, a couple of dozen fish and he breaks out the the knife.
He’s just there’s guts everywhere. Got some fish. You’re the same one that has a hard time shooting an animal and you’re going to talk about masculinity.
I think you might want to reassess the way that you’ll take behind the responsibility necessary to take the masculine role. See, it kind of sounds like you don’t want it. Well, that’s not part of it.
It’s like zester is a kid because I’m not my kid right now. Just go ahead raise up out on a walk out on a win. So, yeah, we raise these three pigs, you know, for me, breakfast, lunch and dinner were their names.
Yeah, you mean. Oh, my God, it was awful. It was actually not good for a member because we went to help Jeff.
I don’t know. I don’t know about Lex names because I don’t want anybody to go but we went to help Jeff and I must have been 12, 13, Riley was eight, nine, then we went to help Jeff butcher one of his three pigs which are breakfast, lunch and dinner and so we sat there and slowly coaxed the animal out with corn and such to essentially, you know, slaughter it. The place.
And yeah, it is. It’s absolutely horrifying. Nothing about the general process is in any way of humane.
But also, I think it’s something everybody should have to do. I don’t think you should be allowed to eat meat if you have not killed an animal. But you’re like, probably one of the things that like after eight, you know, that period between 18 and 21, when you can’t drink really, but you can hope for some reason, you know, there should be mandatory service.
And part of that, I’m Exester. I don’t disagree with you. You should be learning how to hunt and kill and do what’s necessary.
I agree with you. So for men, absolutely. Absolutely.
Well, Mike, if you find that that fertile like incubator named Candy, why are you saying that when Dr. Sarah is on the screen, Mark? I want to know. I didn’t even realize I clicked her. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don’t believe because I know it throws you off when I do that. So I do it for fun. Don’t worry.
If you if you do have if you do have children, Mike or whatever, just send them down to the summers was Esther and I and we will teach them to hunt and fish. You will teach them to do everything that is necessary. Yes.
We can teach them how to build an engine in our house. I’m going to pop out for a second. My kitty wants in and I’m going to get some water right back.
But no, I do. I think that that’s one of that’s that’s one of those weird things that I think everybody should act as should be like an age. Hey, do you want to eat meat after this age? So what we’re actually shot and cleaned an animal or however it occurred, but otherwise I do.
It’s extremely frustrating to hear from people that have never even come close to actually the reality of where their meat comes from, trying to explain to people the morality of their meat, especially when you look at the left. We’re talking about a bunch of people who have never come close to killing an animal, trying to explain to you what is the more virtuous version of well we raised these chickens. This way they’re free range so we don’t have to feel as bad.
I mean the whole process is kind of silly when you just step back from the general standpoint and say the person that is critiquing it has nothing to stand on. No one that critiques the industry has anything to stand on. I’m with you.
Oh, Gwen, filet crappies. Hey, there’s a whole other debate there. Is that a crappie, a crappie? Bluegill, a sungill? Yeah, nobody’s ever going to settle on that.
Hey, Gloria, she hunts. She goes to the butcher shop and hunts the slice she wants. A sin pony grew up.
We had chickens that mom killed. Yeah, that gate growing up. You go over to Uncle Louie’s or whatever.
I remember my aunt Ruth. She just grabbed like a long look like a tobacco stick, but they didn’t have tobacco up there. She just wham.
She just hit it like a baseball bat that neck would break. It would run around for a couple of minutes, fall over. She cut the head off with a big machete looking knife, tie its feet to the tree.
I still remember being horrified at that when I was about six or seven. Yeah, you’re a tough guy, though. Hey, that toughed me up.
Made me what I am now, right? Made you the man you are today. All right, I’m not turning vegetarian. I’m not a simp, come on.
I’m still going to eat meat, but I don’t know. I think it takes a really brave man to be vegan or vegetarian because you know every other man on the planet is going to pick on you and rightfully so. They’re going to look at you and just come on.
Really? We know if you go to a Turkish prison, you’re a bottom not a top. Happy Hound doesn’t need to come. Well, anyways, I appreciate the effort guys.
It’s a different location where he’s got to go. But we’re working on it. No, yeah, I’m going to go fishing because I can’t kill a fish.
Yeah, I know. It’s a I can go fishing. I can go fishing.
I’d rather not. I’d rather not gut the fish, but I mean, I can do it if I have to. That’s actually the best place to start is cleaning fish because you don’t want to feel really bad about cleaning fish because there’s not much in the way of cognitive thought going on.
Not yet. I can’t eat octopus. It tastes great, but I can’t eat it because I know it’s a sentient thinking thing.
So, I mean, I don’t know if it’s wrong or out with a soul or anything, but I just can’t do it. I was really sad. I’m never eating octopus or bulldog in Spanish.
And until I realized how tasty those extremely smart creatures are. And then how it all makes sense. If somebody served you dolphin, would you eat dolphin? It’s delicious, better than tuna.
He’s eating hippopotamus. I’m worried about, I mean, hippo alligator, rattlesnake. What about bull’s balls? What do they call those? They’re the same.
Rocky mountain oysters. Yeah, rocking mountain oysters. Yeah.
No, I’m not. Not for taking in that option, but I guess I’d have to say I’d have to try it. Oh, wait.
Sounds like my mom. Anyone besides me ever have a pet bobcat? No. Is that a thing? No, that sounds cool.
I was going to settle for an ocelot after fire, but if I can have a bobcat, that’s even better. I have a stuffed bobcat on my gun safe here. His name is Bob.
So, you know, Dr. Sarris, what if the animals choose to come here just for that? Well, you know, I have a friend, Denise Zack, who’s a brilliant pet psychic. And that’s what she said. She said, it’s a contract that they understand that that’s part of the contract of living on the earth, the cows and the chickens and all that, but that factory farming is breach of contract that they should be allowed to live their normal lives without us until it’s time for the slaughter.
And then that would be in contract, but that we’re breaching the contract we have with the animal kingdom by the factory farming. I absolutely concur with that. I would put an end to factory farming like immediately.
Because it’s the same. Farming is one thing. Factory farming is not farming.
No more veal, ever. That’s just cruel what they do. Yeah, no, it’s so anyways.
Yeah, Randy, and depending on what country you go in, sometimes we call it a dolphin. Sometimes we call it a Mahi. Sometimes we call it a raro.
That’s a fish that has a lot of different names. But they’ve been walking pretty much everywhere. It’s blue.
The direwolf called Remus Romulus. Pops Remus Romulus. Remus Romulus.
Remus Romulus were the first two that they made. And then they made another one that was a female and they called it police. I guess they were like, nobody caught our original founding brothers of Rome reference.
So we go with Game of Thrones. A little more modern. I have a kidding.
I have a crush named Khaleesi. Like, oh yeah, pretty much the entire time I was watching Game of Thrones after she became the mother of dragons. See, I thought Romulus and Remus were the twin planets in the solar system.
The Romulans came from on Star Trek. That’s where I thought it came. Which were also founded Rome.
This kidding. Well, it was honestly true. They did mark sure.
Well, it was on the Palatine Hills that Romulus and Remus after being birthed at the side of the river and bound by a she-wolf were then raised and suckled by a she-wolf on the Palatine Hills. Or they established what would become the greatest city in all of human history. You know, it is bizarre.
The the myths of Rome are bizarre. Dyerdoodles love the myths of Rome. Rome is such an interesting to me.
So much intrigue. And did you all ever see the maybe we talked about this actually when it went all viral that every guy essentially talks about Rome or thinks about Rome once a day or something of that nature. It was like a whole viral thing that went on where it was girls saying what do you think your boyfriend’s thinking about right now.
And the response back was though he was probably thinking about, you know, yeah, gladiators or how he would have marched differently or something of that nature and it went crazy viral. Yeah, you know, I mean my marriage started to go downhill the night I said to my ex-wife, hey, baby, you want to play Roman gladiator or Hebrew slave girl? Oh, here’s a for those are yeah, I know another side thing, but he just texted me. Who remembers Trump yesterday when he had his speech going, you guys are making a bag bet bad bet you really should be buying stocks right now not unloading him.
He warned him. He warned him. Then he paused hands.
I got a buddy one of our stream regulars made like 30 grand today because he listened to Trump. He’s like, oh, I got a feeling and he it’s so beautiful to mark because he’s covered him into it. He put the tariffs on and then all of and you know, the deep state clowns the sorrows is the billionaires.
That’s where all their money is is in the stock market, which they manipulated. He manipulated them into short selling and then he pulled the rug out from under him by putting in a 90 day delay and the market took off and oh, so many deep state debags lost their shirts today. It’s epic.
He destroyed the shorts and that is that is 90% deep staters and and Democrats and he just sucked three trillion dollars right out of their pockets. That giant sucking sound you hear. That’s the Democrats losing all their money and all the market.
It’s my Ross Perot, by the way. You know, Mark, these people are parasites. These somebody who would sell short against America in a trade war, you’re a freaking parasite.
You deserve to lose whatever you and he broke them. You can see it coming. I know that because you’re smart.
I think that there’s a lot going on in that regard where with the tariffs and with the current market changes that Trump’s throwing out there, it’s really only affecting such a small percentage of the world. Yeah, and yet we are seeing evidently how powerful that small percentage of the world is because you look at backlash that came out over everything. When we actually break down the numbers, we see that it’s a micro micro micro version in terms of from a statistical standpoint of the population that’s actually being affected.
Yeah, it’s tight time yet. We see it covering the news outlets covering absolutely everything and it’s because what’s really happening is that it affected 0.01% of people, but those 0.01% of people have 90% of the wealth. It’s not anymore.
It’s fun watching them lose a little bit of it, but it’s unfortunate for those that are stuck in the in between because that’s something pops and I had talked about before Trump had even won the election. We talked about the fact that the tariff plan was going to have extreme short-term negatives for folks that are at, say, retirement age because if their retirement holdings are in the market and the reality is there are more at that age that are but still is not a large enough section. I mean, it’s an alarmingly small section of the population.
Before I get distracted here with Carolina, there was McDonald’s semi pickup at the horse sale inside. I used to go to the horse sale in Siler. I don’t remember it was Tuesday or Thursday.
I once say it was one of those used to go every week to go to the Stockyards cafe there to get one of their cheeseburgers, best cheeseburger on the planet, the original Smash Burger. Wonder if that place is still open. You got me going down memory lane in Carolina.
Used to love going there. I had horses. Smash burger.
Sounds like a Carolina kind of thing. Oh, man. Carolina burgers.
They do them right. Chili slaw if you like slaw on the burger. Bill V to cheese though.
I mean, you got to have Bill V to cheese. Yeah. Totally not a real product.
It’s a cheese like product, but whatever. Tastes great on one. You know, I guess I would have thought that the tariffs would have pushed or given a perfect excuse for certain countries that were interested in to revalue their currencies and yet they did not do that.
They just. So I don’t understand like if it’s the perfect cover for certain nations to revalue their currencies, why didn’t they do it? If there’s a bigger game here and we’re in control. Hey, who says this up and down in tariff and back and forth and done yet? He’s going to shake out all the shorts.
I would look for another swing or two like this as he breaks the short folks. Okay. Needed on long ago.
If you don’t want to break the shorts by physical metals, call up Andy, say, Hey, more Z sent me load up on silver. Andy Sheckman, because, you know, I mean, that’s where all that’s all the leeches and parasites that are doing the shorts. So bye-bye.
Say bye, bye to your money. Yeah. Well, they just went between jobs.
So feeders process. Yeah, it is. But yeah, yeah, stock yard that wouldn’t I mean, I came straight from the butcher right beside the stockyards.
The cows would come in. They butcher them right next door and they’d be serving them the next night. Sharing your correct that fish ascension everything basically is there was an interesting story.
I think I’ve told this before in my book, The Choice. I did some research where a guy named Cleve Baxter who worked for CIA and was a lie detector expert, hooked a lie detector up to plants. And he was watching, you know, the electrical patterns and everything.
And then he thought, I think I’ll burn one of the leaves and see what happens. And the plant panicked. It could read his thoughts.
It understood his intent. So you vegans and vegetarians who think you’re morally superior. They’re just as terrified.
Plants are just as terrified of being killed for food as a cow or a horse or anybody else’s. So that’s just the reality. Sad.
Why did God make the world this way? Somebody has said yes, because this is this is the world that was made when we fell out of the garden, I guess. I don’t know. I think it’s more proof that we were in a garden at some point if God made it.
Plants had a consciousness, had, you know, feelings, thoughts, or even if they were more animalistic, doesn’t that show you a really a garden of Eden? Grand design of grand design, intelligent design, per beauty, perfection, and he’s buddy. Um, just for, you know, uh, one of the white boys, uh, Sydney became a doctor and he was an atheist in med school. By the time he had finished med school, he said, there’s no way that this was a random accident.
I very much believe in God. Now he was like, I don’t believe in organized religion, but he’s like, after studying medicine, after studying organic chemistry and all those things after cutting open the cadavers and study. And he’s like, there is no way that this is just random chance.
Yep. What’s the old, I think it was Frank Drake who said, the idea that you can have a random series of, uh, atomic reactions between molecules, electrical connections and create a human being is about as logical as a tornado sweeping through junkyard and assembling a fully functional 747. It’s not possible.
Everything has designed. Uh, uh, step. No, no.
Rocky Mountain was your cracker, rolling crack. No, no. No, my kitty does not feel bad about mousey.
Oh, wait. Matt’s in chat. Matt had, wait, somebody said Matt’s in chat and then it went, Matt has the link, if you can talk them into showing up for some story time.
Yeah. Cause it’s been kind of serious and dour tonight, actually, since we got off the subject of boobs and on the subject of hunting and animals, you know, who had more fun last week talking about boobs, the ladies had more fun than the guys did. That’s true.
That’s I mean, they had, they had some interesting nicknames for them. No kidding. They have more nicknames than the guys.
Yeah. That was like, even we aren’t that bad. Although if you guys would probably have more nicknames on our own side, but I would say on that hunting topic, I do have a bit of a beef going on right now with my cats because there’s about mouse living in my, uh, in my living room, somehow, while I have three cats in the house.
And so all cats are currently on paid leave, um, because there’s damn sure I’m not paying them. The department of government efficiency, uh, the department of cat efficiency. I think what you’re saying is they’re about to be on unpaid leave.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, yeah. Unpaid.
Exactly. Exactly. Well, well, I was going to put them on paid leave to start with while I investigated the cause, you know, where we’re going through a legal structure here, but three cats and I got a mouse that’s living in the house and they apparently have not dealt with.
And so, I’ve got a little bit of a pet peeve going on right now with, uh, Tina, Tina and Tommy, because I thought that was a part of the deal. I got a transaction. All right.
Which one are you going to throw out of the house first if they don’t start mousing? I mean, you have to throw one of them away to make an example. I don’t know. No.
Well, that’s probably everybody says don’t beat them so much, but I’ve already tried to get certain of the cats down because Tina and Tommy are no, Tina and Tina are getting chunky. Tommy, he’s good. He doesn’t overeat.
But yeah, I think my cats are beginning to have that same issue in regards to where their meat is sourced from, that my cats turn Democrat. They may be killing first. Yeah, downsize the food portion.
They just, the other typical millennials are Gen Z’s. They want you to do all the work. This saying, maybe we need to talk about the generations of this young generation of cats.
They’re didn’t lazy. And I think they’re going to destroy this nation. It’s in their instincts.
Oh, any still hunts? Wait, and it actually works. It’s Gen C. Gen C. Those are the cats that don’t don’t hunt. Oh, Gen C like said, a Gen Z, Gen C for cats, right? Exactly.
All right. Perfectly. There we go.
I like it. That sounds like good. Cats are about the amount of learning their key, you know.
That sounds make good mousers. Rat terriers make good mousers. I mean, they will wear out a rat.
Hell for Mark, by the way, would be where the only thing to eat would be green beans. That would be health. Green bean casserole on top of it.
I think I just found a very compelling reason to find Jesus. Wait, I’d already found Jesus. Does that mean I don’t have to do your living hell? No.
I don’t think so. Can purgatory be your grilling stakes? And they keep coming out no matter what you do. They always come out like well done.
You never get a properly cooked steak. Can that be our purgatory? No matter how many times you cook a steak, it just one thing comes out well done. Yep.
I’m yeah. I think put tariffs on them. There we go.
A tear for a little Tina. Oh, look at that cute little kitty. I do not think it’s gonna work.
No, I don’t think it’s, I mean, I even noticed the rainbow collar. You just went ahead and embraced it. Oh, yeah.
Tina, Tina does. She has her going on on her calendar on her getting strands. You do not have a trans cat.
No, he’s not. Tina is not trans. Tina is straight up gay.
He’s the one that probably needs the color because, yeah, Tina and I, we have a very close, close relationship. Tina is obsessed with me. No, liver worst.
It’s good stuff actually. I would say to Renee asked me about having the two male cats and one female. It’s actually worked out really well.
Just because the female cat is the man, the one that’s just not really interested in all of their shenanigans. And so they like to play fight and it seems like she’s almost the neutral ground in between. Yeah.
If I didn’t be these three cats for a few days, they would not be mousing. They’d be dead. I would be the one that did not wake up one more because I didn’t have one thing.
If I were to suddenly disappear, someone were Tina would eat me 30 minutes after I was gone. Like she would not care at all. So now we’re the family bucket.
Yeah, that’s good. That’s good. You’re sick, but that’s good.
All right, that’s kind of funny. No, Kugla, and this is probably why I’m not going to let you cook for me. Just the threat of making rap green bean ever Kugla, ever.
You and your green beans. Oh, let’s see. I like this one.
Where did I find it? Man, last one. Oh, you tell them, Ruth. So Brandon came over today, Zach, to hang out with Riley and say hello.
It’s good to see him, but they’ve, they’re still out there and Roo wants to play. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Roo is still not done with a poppy energy and they’re not even close. But she’s old enough to fix now, so that’ll help. Yeah, thanks.
Usually does. Usually does. Well, we’re not having as much fun as we did last week when we’re coming up with names for boobs.
Um, what should we do instead? Um, yeah, yeah. Where is Matt? Matt, I got these like gnats fascinated tonight somehow in the house, fascinated with my stream lights. If you guys see me doing like this, I’m not completely losing it.
I’m only kind of losing it. I just want to like, you know, uh, trail podcast schedule tomorrow morning, normal tomorrow night still expecting, uh, Dr. Scott, but I think the zester will be taking the helm. Yeah, I’ll be jumping in tomorrow night, uh, with the doctor Scott for the podcast.
Looking forward to getting to chat with him. I see Matt was trying to avoid us because, uh, I think he’s in the car in the background or something. Can you hear me? Sounds like, yeah, lots of noise, but yeah.
Yeah, sorry about that. I’ll, uh, pull over. But anyways, um, good cat quick, good, uh, subject there and cats there’s yesterday.
Um, I was thinking to get one, you know, do I, uh, if I go for about four or five days or something, can I, uh, do they need to stay with somebody or how does it work? Worst case, worst case, you’ll have a few things knocked off your counter. Just make certain they get a big extra glitter box or two, load them up with food and water and they’re okay. You can leave for days.
Now Penny on the other hand, he will grab, grab the truck keys, leave the house, drive down to the pub and have a drink for people because she needs the company. Yeah, it really does depend on the cat man. Some cats, you know, you could leave as long as you leave them enough food and enough water and enough clean litter for them to do their business.
And some cats, you could probably walk away and never show back up and they’d be happier about it. Um, other cats aren’t the same. And so it is cats are far more individual, um, than, than when it comes down to dogs in terms of what I’ve seen.
There’s, there’s a big difference in the personality of one cat and another cat, whereas most dogs are just dogs. Okay. Yeah, I just noticed here was some, um, mouse droppings in the crawl space.
So I thought, well, I gotta get a cat. Now I was thinking about getting a dog. So maybe I’ll just get pulled.
Oh, just get a cat and let it live in your crawl space. Oh, it don’t do that. I found the dead, uh, I did mouse just two days ago sitting outside in the water bowl of the strange dog that I feed that lives around the neighborhood.
And so I do honestly question whether the dog that lives outside that I give, you know, a little bit of food and water every once in a while didn’t do the job of the cats that I cared for and literally pick up and scoop their food. So I don’t know. And that dog’s like eight hundred and two years old.
Get a little dog. Yeah, it was, you know, there was a brown lab today that I was looking at. And, uh, the wife said, no, but then I thought, well, after the cat, after the mouse deal just in the last hour, I thought, well, I need both, you know, so that’s it.
We just settled for like a little dohshound or something, a little dots and dog, a little wing dog. They will chase tenaciously chase a mouse. Yeah.
Yeah, I need everything. You know, I need all that stuff. I should get a pot billy pig too.
I might get some chickens too, seriously. So I always have kind of wanted like, do you see the like teapot pigs, the little like, you know, little pigs? I mean, Lucy used to want when she was younger, I was like, you know, it’d be kind of cool. A little like, you know, they’re smart, smarter than dogs.
Yep. Yeah, you guys, as soon as I jumped in the car, boy, I was relating to all the stories. You were talking silver cats and they were all on my mind, you know, I just paid the two painters.
I gave them a tip. I gave them 20 ounces of silver that, you know, behind their regular pay. And they loved it, you know, and they was Trump on the front and everything.
So it all worked out. And now here I am driving along, talking to you guys, isn’t it? Our things in Minnesota right now matter, they’re still freezing cold or they’re getting better. Let’s see, the temperature as we speak is, I think it’s about 50 55.
Yeah. Right. Yeah, we use not that warm here.
Yeah, 55 beautiful. It was, yeah, talking to a couple buddies, I’ve known for a long time painting. It was a good time.
But then I left the house and I’m riding around. They were making too much noise, you know, and they were going to start playing roulette. I got a roulette table, you know, I always wanted to get one.
So I got one. And they started playing and I just said, I got to get out of here because I wanted to talk to you guys. So, yeah.
Hey, can’t get away from the roulette tables here where I live. They’re all over the place. Yeah, but yeah, I got one for home for home use now.
It’s kind of nice, you know, so I always wanted one. And you can let the kids play it too. The grandkids love playing it.
You know, playing roulette, you can kind of be mindless. You know, you just sit there and drink and watch sports or whatever. And yeah, play roulette.
It’s fun. And that’s, I don’t know. That’s what CBD guru does on his time off.
He’s roulette, you know, they never don’t think I’ve ever played roulette my entire life. I’m more, more and more Texas hold them. You know, five car, seven car type deal for me.
But yeah, that’s fun. Yeah, yeah, you got to give some effort there and you got to think a little bit. Are we split up the super chat spot? The super chats.
Yeah, we got some super chats rolling in now. So are we splitting those revenues mark or what pops is going to have to figure out where the mute button is first. Sorry there, pops.
Sorry. No, I missed that completely. I was asking a, I was answering Riley a question real quick.
We got a couple of super stickers and super chats. I’m just wondering how we’re splitting that revenue up here, boys. I’ll tell you what, I’ll buy dinner next time.
I’ll take mine that you did last time. You don’t have to bite. I’ll take mine and don’t.
So, you know, last time I was with this guy, we all went to a very fancy restaurant that he heard. And he picked up the tab and I’m not going to tell you how much it was, but it was not cheap. But I had to start working, uh, Washington, right after.
So, it worked out. You are a stud. You are a stud.
Nice man. Nice man. It wasn’t one of those, it wasn’t one of those $22,000 to take your offense.
It was not that bad in dinner, but it was not that bad. It was a, it was the price of you. Yeah.
I mean, just look. Now, if you want to really spend a lot of money, we can go to, we can go to, uh, we can definitely go to the, the Golden Steer, or we can go to, uh, craft stake and it’ll be quite a bit priced. Yeah, no, I’m good on those.
We’ll keep it affordable. God, no matter what, even, even with RV money and everything going on in the world, I, you know, never have any interest. Pop and circumstance do not make good food.
It’s one of the things I really don’t like about the entire hospitality industry. It’s like a stream disconnect between value and my dollars, like it doesn’t add up. And I don’t have any interest in the past.
Is Esther making any decades? You know, is Esther, I go to, I can go to a steakhouse, a $200 and $300 steakhouse, like even Fleming’s, or there’s a steakhouse in the Luxor, and the steak may be a little bigger, but flavor-wise, it’s not any better than outback. So why am I paying an extra $150 for this. I had more times in my life.
And I think that’s the most expensive state that I’ve ever had. And it was shit. I mean, if it were $20, I wouldn’t pay for it.
If it was in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico. Yeah, it was. Yeah, at the Carrillo Hilton, they’ve got a Immortan’s there.
It wasn’t awful. It wasn’t awful. The company was great.
We had a very good time. Yeah, we had an awesome, awesome company. And the place is nice, but when you look at the price tax on that stuff, something is just off.
It’s a disconnect between value going on a special restaurant. I feel like they’re like the forefront of it ain’t worth it. Yeah, a lot of, well, some are some aren’t.
I love going to a good restaurant where the food stop notch and the experience is good. That to me is like, you know, even if it’s pretty expensive, totally worth it to me, but 90% of the time when I go to a place like that, I leave disappointed because I can make better food. Change maker, Charleston is an exception when it comes to food.
And I’d like to think it’s because of the Johnson whales and the low country food there, but the choices they have for employees and chefs is exponentially higher than probably anywhere else in the world because of Johnson and Wells being right there. There is some really good food in Charleston. Oh, Charleston, South Carolina.
Do you see Trump had Roger Penske and the Indy cars and NASCAR cars and all kinds of stuff there at the White House? Say, that’s pretty cool. That would be cool. And Coolby, they still have Ponderosa’s here in Puerto Rico.
Ponderosa, Sizzler, I totally figured that Zester put that up on purpose because I was like, they don’t exist in the States anymore, but they still exist here in Puerto Rico. Yes, they do. And Ponderosa’s in Puerto Rico.
It’s like out and back. Yeah, and they still drink like Johnny Walker and Chavez Rial or Rial. It’s amazing.
It’s like you’re stuck in a time thing here. They still like malls here, too. I mean, they’re, wait, I’m not here.
I’m here. All right, you’re here. The malls are actually like a mall in the 90s still in Puerto Rico.
You go to the mall, there are people who are at the mall to hang out. They’re not even there to do anything. They’re just at the mall because it’s a place to hang out.
They’re going to go watch a movie at night. It’s the weirdest thing seeing a mall that doesn’t look like something out of a dystopian movie. Right.
In Puerto Rico, the malls. There’s actually people there. It’s weird.
It’s weird. Smokey bones. Ah, it’s all right.
I make better, but it’s not bad. Yeah. No, just just wrong to just know.
No, I’m not eating. I’m not eating anything. No, just not.
I’ll eat it. I mean, Michael says they’re still up on the roast in cold water, Michigan. Oh, wait a minute.
Anyone else made a ton of money today on the stock market. Alexander, my buddy, Al killed it. And I’m so proud of him.
He needed it. He needed it. And he’s a currency holder.
So I was happy for him. Barbara, that is a little bit of a weakness to have on the weekend Texas Road House has prime rib and it’s good prime rib. And those rolls rolls, those rolls are good.
Those yeast rolls, they’re good. Nice. Nice.
Booger would like a… No, they’re not the sacks. They’re the actual things that are held in the sacks. So I’m coming.
I’m so good to have Matt, Matt, have you ever had a Rocky Mountain Oyster? Yeah, I did. I set a record at my Ants restaurant one night. They were in gravy.
I think I had 26 of them or something. So yeah, it was fun. It was… I didn’t know what they were at first.
You know, they were pretty good-sized meatballs and then they were laughing and shit. And they were in gravy, but they were kind of fried and stuff. And yeah.
So I mean, it was cool. I was younger. I was probably about 21 or two at the time.
So I mean, it was all right. It was… I mean, I wouldn’t… You know what? I’d eat them again in the gravy. It was good.
Good stuff. I mean, what the hell? Oh, God. I mean, you know, they used to take barrels of them and they’d bring them up with the Roman soldiers.
They’d eat them all night long. You know, in Montana, they have a town there, a small town that does have a testicle festival every year. Yeah, that’s good.
I’m going to go over it. But you drive by the signs right on the I-90, the, you know, I don’t know, you know, Burton Montana Testicle Festival by 11th through the 14th. All right.
I’ll be there. What’s a turkey fry? Anybody out there? People I’ve seen a couple of people talking about it. It’s not something I’m familiar with.
Well, I know, I know Burger King has chicken fries where they have fries. They have breaded, thin, like French fries, shoestring, French fries, style chunks of chicken, which are actually… Keep fried turkeys? Is that what it was? No, no, no, it’s um, I have a feeling that I know what turkey fingers are, but I’m not positive. I’m kind of afraid of talking about turkey fingers and they used quotations around turkey fingers, AKA they’re, they’re not fingers of turkeys.
Yeah. So I have a feeling this is going, uh, I have a feeling I know where this is going. Penny, apparently, is not partial to testicles.
Yeah. You know, uh, wow. All right.
Not a scrapple fan. I mean, who would you rather have a harder testicle? Why is that a testicle? What the hell? I mean, well, I don’t know, Matt did, all right. After eating those Rocky Mountain oysters, did it make you, what was it like sea oysters on steroids? I mean, everybody claims that it greatly increases your sexual… He wants to know if she gave you an erection.
Yes. Were you rolling around? Did you have to call your doctor after four hours? No, but probably, you know, she had us with my, you know, well, wait a second here. Yeah, it’s with my wife.
You know, she’s my girlfriend at the time, so everything was cool. He was trying to go back in his head, wait, was it her? Was it somebody else? No, no, no. It was a long time 40.
Then we get this right. 47 years. Yeah.
Yeah. And, uh, yeah, that was, uh, yeah, that was great. You know, I’m back in those days, you know, and then I, and then at the end of the trip, when I asked her to marry me, and she turned me down in Vegas, so that was great.
So, smart lady. You know what though, for Stake’s, Mike, did you ever go eat at the Hyatt at Manny’s? I don’t think so. Here in Vegas, Manny’s at the Hyatt at Minnesota.
In Minneapolis, sure. Uh, I know, I used to like the St. Paul Grill, which was a really nice, fancy place back in the 90’s when I lived there. Um, I don’t think I went to Manny’s.
Yeah, they had a steak. It was as big as a dinner plate. I don’t even know what kind of steak it was, but it was a good steak.
I did. Yeah, in Minneapolis, I went to a small out of the way restaurant that was just on the St. Paul side of the river. And I remember it was the weirdest thing.
It was a filet with blue cheese crust on it. And you think that’s terrible? It’s the best, maybe the best steak I ever had in my life. I don’t think it sounds good.
It was a Minnesota, Minnesota experience. So have that. Yeah, I used to drive a guy once a month.
He was a high roller computer guy. And at the end of the day, he’d always want to go eat at Manny’s. So we’d go in there, you know, and he’d say, yeah, come on in.
I remember hearing about Manny’s. I don’t think I ever ate there. Yeah.
And we’d eat there and we’d sit there, me and him and eat, you know, just BS. And it was the end of the day I drove him all day, you know, and then then he’d always buy a parties of, you know, their dinner next to us, but he wouldn’t tell anybody. And boy, I’ll tell you, it was kind of interesting to watch.
Sometimes people get mad. No, no, nobody can pay for my dinner. We’d, you know, they’d be talking to the waiter or wait, no, the waiter.
I was going to say the waitress, but we never had a waitress or it was always waiters at Manny’s. And yeah, he would sometimes pay for dinner for 12 people. And they didn’t know it.
He had no idea, you know, guys would be saying, who did I pay my dinner? I’m not going to take it. And then the waiter’d be going, no, it’s already paid for. Don’t worry about it.
He’d sit there and laugh, you know, he’d get a kick out of it. You know, it was a good time. Yeah.
And then afterwards we’d go over to solid gold. You know, that was going away. Strip club, right? Yeah.
And I didn’t want to go, but I was the driver. So I had to go in there and stomach. You just had to.
You had to go. Yeah, I was a driver. I mean, I did go to a club there once called the lickety split.
Just one of the best club names I’ve ever heard in my life. No, but the actually the best place like that was in Mankito, Minnesota, a place called Metler’s. Yeah.
Oh my God. Did you ever hear about that place? I did not. I was an honorably married man when I lived in Minnesota.
Yeah. What the heck? Come on, Mike. I was so am I, you know, but it’s, you know, that was before I was married.
Yeah. So anyway, you know, it was good. Yeah.
But no matters. Yeah. What anyways, what? No, it was, uh, yeah, you know, the, you know, driving days, you know, driving people around.
Yeah, the one guy he had in the door. So he invented. You know what he did here? Because he knew he would, he didn’t, he was so out of shape and everything.
He just wanted to spend all his money before he croaked, you know, so people not raise people better. Where’s the respect for women they’re supposed to have? The way, what’s it? I was just thinking about some of the stories. I’m just like, whoa.
Boy, just noticed the time we’re going to start rapping or the monster. I just got a, I just got a huge Intel dump. Do you want to hear it? Right.
Tomorrow. That’s what somebody told me tomorrow. Wait.
Okay. Oh, that’s not a huge. And that’s huge, huge, huge tomorrow.
Okay. So that’s all I got tomorrow. Let’s hope this is correct.
Oh, I’m just finally back from having Google Turkey fingers, which sent me on a entire deep dive into to what different hand gestures in the country of Turkey. So I’m just kind of getting back to where we were at, but I’ll probably think it’s what I have learned is do not make the gesture for like taking somebody’s tongue. Like, you know, like, just don’t make that in Turkey.
Apparently, it’s very, very bad. So that’s all I’ve learned. Right.
Would you show it? Would you show us that again? Would you show us that again? So we know what not to do? Well, I don’t want to, you know, maybe there are members of the community that live in Turkey. Yes. That’s why I was trying to get you to show.
Apparently, they got your tongue, like your tongue gesture in Turkey is also called Turkey fingers. And it is an extremely offensive. And it actually has more historical, um, understandings than most people expect as it comes from the Roman big sign, which was the same, which Romans would use as a way of essentially flipping people off.
And they called it a big sign as if they were making a big, and I guess the idea was very inappropriate. Turkey is definitely on my list of places never to visit after the RV, except maybe I might go to constant, you know, when they rename a constant, no, we’ll all go to constant, but not. Yes.
I’m laughing at you and people tonight. Y’all are funny. Even still inside of the region of Turkey would also be the oldest found city and human creation, the ancient caves and tunnels beneath the ancient Turkish cities, which would be on the border of Syria.
Now, today, I mean, there are some of the oldest parts of human civilization reside in Turkey. So I want to be able to go. I mean, come back, go back, go back to the cafe.
Did you ever see a movie called Midnight Express tester? Way, way back. And yeah, I’m not going to a Turkish prison, but yeah, I am not going to Turkey. Okay, I have said repeatedly, if I had to spend 10 years in a Turkish prison, I would want your dad to be my roommate, but that’s as far as the interests in conversation, right? Or you never explained why? Interesting conversation, because he’s not going on.
Yeah, you guys have a good night. I got a take off the cops are behind me. Take care.
All right, all right, we love coming in here. All right, guys, we’re going to need to take up a collection to bail Matt out since the cops are pulling in behind him as we speak. We’re Helen Davies relationship coach breaking the US House passes House resolution 1526 restricting district road court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions against presidential policies.
We knew this one was coming. Now, will it make it through the Senate? Yeah, probably not, not with the fortunately so many courts, including one today, well, we got like three or four this week. And it’s only Wednesday that have made judgments against lower court judges doing the injunction.
So yeah, but not by a wide enough margin should be nine to nothing on a Supreme Court side of things. Yeah, did you see the beam, the Babylon beam where it says Trump resigns presidency to become even more powerful district court judge. We added it here somewhere.
I got it on my phone. Yeah, so he can become a morp. And then he froze perfect.
Benny Johnson shared that an hour. I’ve thought about starting to do some shorts like Benny Johnson does short. So it’s a great opportunity to get across like key points quickly.
I like the way he does those. All right, it is time to rat. Oh, wait, Mike’s back.
Mike, you want to say goodbyes? That’s for you to say goodbye. How do you guys want to keep going and alcohol tonight? Goodbye, everybody. Have a great night.
And, you know, I mean, stay, keep the stiff upper lip as the Brits say, hang in there. Hang in there. All right, my historical card.
You can you can look that free time, but yeah, well, thank you guys. Say good night, Zester. All right, I’ll say next one.
We share some of our worst pick up lines we’ve ever heard and get people from the community to share them as well. Yeah, and if you guys want bad dating advice, you kind of ask any questions? All right, next week, we asked Mike questions and we share some of the worst pick up lines you’ve ever used, seen work or had used on you. Do any of you date? Do any of you out there are date? Why? Why not? Get out there.
Talk to the ladies. They’re just waiting for you to come. Ladies, they should talk to the guys or they can talk to the, I mean, yes.
All right, just just making certain we’re keeping this fair. All right, I’m getting out of here. Good night.
All had a good time. See you in the morning at 10 a.m. Eastern. Bye guys.
Bye. Bye.
