MarkZ Weekend (Uncut) 04-19-2025

Weekend Coffee with MarkZ. 04/19/2025

Music Hello, uh-oh, can’t find my pen. Well, we’ll get it figured out. Use a different one.

Good morning, hello, Jill, hello, Sharon, Midwest, Grammy, Evie, hello, Q-Ball, hello, Boog, AVoice56, good to see you in the house, Midwest Gal, celebrating that 54th, happy birthday. Hello, hello, Clinton, hello, Birdie, I know we’re early this morning, right? Said we would, and we did it. Gonna have a little fun, longer with the gurus this morning than normal.

Hello, LSU Nurse, yeah, let’s get this done. Hello, Tammy Poe, hello, Eddie DeFarmbor, boy, Lilius, Mr. Jameson, a lot of talk, a lot of talk going on. Now, what is real? That’s the thing we gotta get figured out.

Hello, Ms. Lynn, actually, we don’t need to figure out anything, they just need to go. Get her done, hello, Karen, Goose Girl. We’ve been told our whole lives that wrinkle creams were the easiest way to look younger.

Now, one doctor says that’s nothing but old news. According to Dr. John Lakey, the world-renowned Beverly Hills beauty expert, most wrinkle fixes on the market are nothing but glorified moisturizers. They hardly make a dent on your appearance, and some can even be harmful to your skin, he said.

Recently, Dr. Lakey has focused his attention away from mainstream cosmetic practices, why? So he can pursue a revolutionary anti-aging breakthrough, one that some experts say could empty the wallets of the cosmetic industry. It’s almost like Photoshop for your face. You may even be mad after seeing how easy it is to visibly erase wrinkles from view, Lakey told reporters.

His personal clients have dubbed his new do-it-yourself technique, Age Rewinder method, because it can take years or even decades off your appearance in under two minutes. In light of this amazing breakthrough, Dr. Lakey has released a step-by-step video to the public, free and uninterrupted, where he outlines exactly how to use this simple solution from home. This helps even one person look younger or feel more confident.

I’ll be thrilled knowing it helped. Dr. Lakey commented, the video has since gone viral. First, it was shared by users on Facebook, but since then, it’s racked up over 2.3 million views and counting.

So far, the comments and feedback have been outstanding, with thousands of women reporting they look decades younger. One viewer even commented, best results of anything I’ve used. Can’t believe how well this works.

I’ll never stop using this. I don’t understand how it works, but the results are great, thank you. So you can find out more yourself by going to bhmd1, that’s the number one, .com forward slash Mark Z, or you can click the link in the description, because that’s easier than bhmd1.com forward slash Mark Z. There’s one thing Dr. Lakey does ask from his viewers.

If watching this video helps you look and feel younger than you have in years, then please share the video with your friends and loved ones. Together, we have the power to help as many women reclaim a youthful look as possible. You can find the link in the description on YouTube and Rumble.

You may have to hit the more button. Then it’ll be easy for you. Mm-hmm.

Give me just a moment. Some background stuff there. We will give you a quick update, a very, very, very, very, very quick one in just a moment, and then we’ll get on to having Matt and Lucas in the building, Matt and Lucas in the building for a little bit of fun this morning, and questions and answers.

They are a sponsor and they are greatly appreciated. Greatly appreciated. Let’s see, what can I do here? Give me a minute.

Doing some background stuff here right now. I’ve got it pulled together here. Hicktown, you’re good this morning.

You are good. Not exhausted. See if we can make sense out of this thing.

See if we can get an idea of what to expect. Hmm, they do have great products. They do have great products.

We got Lucas in the background already. All right, let me hit it very quickly. Not much news to share this morning.

I don’t know if it’s because we’re going into Easter weekend. The Bond side, very quiet overnight. We do have some interesting mishmash of articles coming out of Iraq.

I do have yet another group facilitate. When I say group facilitate, I’m talking about a person helping that process that will be traveling this weekend, which is unusual on Easter, headed west. I’m hoping that is indicative of timing.

That’s really about all I have this morning. We’ve got plenty of articles to share that’ll get into fundamentals that we can focus on shortly. But a lot of the static that the boards or people are sharing from the boards, I’m just not seeing the underlying intel that goes with it yet.

I am seeing some interesting movement. I do have some happy historic Bond holders, but I don’t get quite what some of the others are reporting about their timing yet. I mean, it’s all positive, fantastically positive.

But some of the things that you guys are showing and sharing on the boards are just absolutely, I just can’t find anything to support them. I think you’re right, Clinton. I think all the countries are choosing their sides right now.

All right, let’s get Lucas in here because he clearly, clearly just bumped Matt in timing this morning. You know what? And I’ll tell you what, I have no idea what. And it’s earlier where you’re at.

Oh, it’s an hour away. It’s only 7.30 here. Right.

Some, you know. Are the kids even awake yet? You know, half of them. So they’ve had some school stuff last night.

And so, you know, they’ve had, you know, they just, they stayed up a little bit later. And okay, so I’m not really big. I mean, a little bit, but I’m not really big on video games.

And so what has happened is, is that the boys really wanted, you know, like an Xbox. Yeah. And so I’m like, I get it.

I get, you know, so, but I’m like, how do I manage this? How do I, you know? So they had to save up their money. I wasn’t gonna buy it for them. They, if they wanted it, they’d have to save it.

So they have saved up their money and put their money together for three years now. Wow. That’s dedication.

Not spending a dime. So they actually got it two days ago. They saved up enough with one of their birthdays just happened.

So they just got it two days ago. So last night they were up a little late. And I was like, this is one time, you know, cause they got an NFL game.

So they’re doing that. But gosh, I’ll tell you what, trying to, I say that I’m upset about it, but I’m not gonna lie. I was up with them.

Oh yeah. It’s gonna give a bonding thing. And surprisingly as a parent who’s been through this, it gives you some extreme leverage.

You can’t just let them play all the time. You can’t let it, you know, distract them from school life, et cetera. Cause I mean, but they are fun, but it gives you a heck of a tool saying, hey, you know, you get this done.

Once a homework’s done, then you get so many hours. I mean, it actually becomes a great, like carrot and stick for, for raising the children because you can take it away or you can give them more. It’s, it can be a parental tool.

You just gotta pick the games, right? Yeah. Well, and that’s the thing is like, so they’re only gonna have probably two games is what, you know, I’m okay with now. And they’re only gonna be able to play on Saturdays and Sundays.

They can’t play during the week because I just know my boys and they will, they, they won’t do their homework. Right. I’m like, it’s not gonna happen.

So Monday through Friday, and then on the weekends, it just has a timer. So they get, they’re allowed to get on for an hour. And when the timer goes off after an hour, the Xbox just shuts off.

I don’t care where you are in the middle of your game. Yeah. I kind of like that approach.

A goose girl’s ready to hit you with questions. If you’re ready, we might as well be, you know, efficient when we don’t have Matt, right? Can we give, wait, who gets to give him a rough time for not being here yet? He was the one that was like, oh yeah, maybe early. Oh.

Well, I, you know what? I don’t want to hurt his feelings. So let’s, you know, let’s just go with it. And, you know.

All right. We can only damage his emotions so much per week before it just is too much. But it’s so much fun.

It is. Goose girl saying, my husband struggles with ADD, that the old school word for ADHD, right? Remember when it was just ADD before we needed the H? Or as I say, listening deficiency. How much Lion’s Mane should he be taking? Or is there another product that’s better for that issue? In other words, to help with that focus.

Man, I would actually agree with you. I’d say probably the Lion’s Mane, just because of its, you know, neuro properties does really well. But, you know, again, you really need to, you know, kind of consult with your doctor and try to figure it out.

Because like, how bad is the ADD? The thing is, I mean, I’m, Mark, I’m kind of the, like, I’m a little ADHD. And that by a little bit. Clearly, I would like to think of it.

But it’s not a bad thing. No? Like, I almost appreciate it because the thing is, I get shaper focused on one thing. And the world could burn around me.

And I’m just gonna keep focusing on. So it’s like- Once I put my eyes on a goal, nothing’s getting in the way. Yeah, and so, yes, it can be problematic for, you know, social endeavors or things like that.

But it just, you just learn to deal with it and take the positives from it. Now, there are times when, like, my mind can’t calm down. And when it does do that, at least for me, it creates, you know, a lot of anxiety in my mind.

And I can’t shut off the thinking, which, you know, creates the anxiety behind that. So I take Lion’s Mane. Now, like, guys, this is not, like, a suggestion for you.

But I do, because of, like, my doctor, I’m doing, like, two and a half, three grams a day in the Lion’s Mane. I wanna say, for the Japanese study, they actually, for that medical case study, for the anxiety and, you know, like, panic attacks and things like that, where they had people on it to compare it to, you know, Lepsopro and some of those. Oh, it’s trounces it.

I think they were doing, like, three to four grams, if I’m not mistaken. I need to look again. But everyone’s different, and they did show a range, depending on, you know, men and women.

I know that’s a hard concept nowadays, that there’s, you know, only two. I think I spoke to this chair on that later, too. So, but, you know, they did, you know, basically differently off that, and then, obviously, age, weight, things like that.

So, yeah, I mean, for me, for my size, like, you know, my doctor’s, you know, was like in that two and a half to three gram range, and it works really well. It really does. I really like the focus.

It actually kind of works with my, you know, a little bit of ADHD a little bit, to kind of, or at least I feel like, you know, helps me focus a little bit without the stress. I don’t know. Like, it’s just, it’s weird.

Like, I hate that for people, because people who really struggle with it, you know, that’s usually a little bit of a side effect of, you know, ADHD is the hyper-focus, but, you know, the anxiety that comes with it is not fun. No, no, you learn to live with it. I read an interesting take from this guy.

It was actually in a Forbes Magazine editor. This is 25 years ago, probably, when they were first saying, hey, we should test your son for ADHD, referring to Riley, the middle one, not the oldest. And at the time, and I just happened to read it, because I, you know, I like to read.

So I was reading this guy’s take on it, and his grandson had recently been diagnosed. They wanted to bring in the whole family and take a look and diagnose him. So he’s like, yeah, sure, I’ll go.

And of course they found out he was ADHD. He had been, you know, a prolific writer for economic things. He had been on the board for Chrysler when they reinvented Chrysler and Lee Iacocca when they rescued it from bankruptcy.

And he was just saying, you know, we’re taking a whole generation of hunters and we’re trying to turn them into farmers instead of just understanding, they just operate differently. So how do you use that for them? You know, we’re trying to dumb them down and make them sit still for eight hours and their minds just don’t work that way. They’re done, they finished processing that, they’re ready for the next problem to tackle.

I just thought it was great because I was like, you know, I need to stop thinking I need to fix this and figure out how to use it as the gift that it can be. No, I 100% agree. And going along with that, Mark, something else that I don’t feel like people talk about enough about is, have you ever realized in school all you’re taught are tools? You’re taught how to do, you know, this is how you multiply.

This is how you add. This is how, you know, this is the equations. This is your algebra.

This is like, they teach you the tools, but for boys, girls work really well within that mind frame. Most. They do really well, most do really well with learning tools.

Boys do not. And this is why a lot of boys struggle. And myself included.

That’s why we don’t read the instructions. Yeah, yeah. It’s like, you know, like, I don’t care about the tools.

I just want to know what the problem is. And then I’ll learn how to fix it along the way. And honestly, they should do it differently.

They should do it instead of the tools, give you a problem, at least like say, say it’s in math, right? And it’s like, hey, you have to solve this. This is a real world problem. And then teach how to solve it based upon the problem you’re trying to solve.

And the boys would do so much better, so much better. Yeah, I’ll have to agree with, I think you’re right. So I don’t take my kids over to the toolbox and teach them what a wrench is, or and show them this is a nine millimeter, 10 millimeter, 11 millimeter, you know, and teach them that.

I show them, hey, this is what you have to tear apart and then figure out the tools and teach them the tools based upon the problem, not the other way around. Yeah, I like the approach. My dad always joked, if all else fails, read the directions.

Yeah, very last case scenario. All right, question. We’ve got somebody living through this right now.

We have a storm right now and I have a weaker version of CBD. How much should they, or do you, yeah, they definitely have CBD for pets. Should we do the, since, oh, wait, Matt’s in here.

Dr. Amger, we’re gonna dive right into that after we let Matt do his thing. We’re gonna go straight to pet CBD products. Since we have Matt, we should take advantage of it.

Yeah, good morning, you guys. Yeah, can you hear me? We’re there? Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, okay, I didn’t know.

Sorry about that. Okay, yeah, I’ve been listening. That was a good subject.

I believe every kid, by the time they get out of high school should know at least two skills, trades, be like bricklayer, whatever, you know what I mean? Just teach them all the crap they do through 12th grade, you know, or just, a computer can do all that stuff now, so you might as well teach them a trade, like it’d be a carpenter or a plumber or something by the time they’re done. But anyway, how’s that sound? I like the idea. All right, you wanna tell us how to get in there and then we can talk about pet CBD products? Yeah, right on.

How much maybe? Okay, you guys, okay, you go to thecbdgurus.com when you get in there, it’s thcbdgurus.com. And when you’re in there, you hit the wholesale button on top and then you’ll see Mark’s name pop up. And then when you punch that and then you get in there, you get a code word, maybe, if it’s not stuck in your computer, it’s lowercase K-R-A-M-C-B-D. And that K-R-A-M-C-B-D, all lowercase.

And then you get into the specials. And this week’s special started yesterday at 9.40 a.m. Central Time. And you get, you want the 10% off, put the code in.

Markz10. And then you get the currency too. When you hit the 100 mark, you get the 5,000 denar and 30,000 dong at 150.

You’d get 10,000 denar and 30,000 dong. You don’t get both those, it’s just totals, you know? So anyways, then you get to the first special, you guys. Oh, I don’t want to skip this.

I didn’t mean to do that on purpose. So if you have any questions, call Wendy at 612-412-8343. And if it’s after hours or anything, we’ll get back to you the next day.

And if you do call and it’s busy, don’t get mad. Just leave a message and she’ll get back to you. She just gets busy sometimes, especially after the shows.

And if you’re new and you need help, don’t worry, you can call, it’s not a big deal, okay? Or else you can send a text and, but if you send a text that says, yeah, call me for an order, that’s just, you’re better off with just calling the other number and just, or the same number, I’m sorry, and leaving just a message, okay? Because I’m just going to send that over to Wendy and then she’ll call you. But anyway, we got our Miracle Gold up there at 27 bucks right now. We got the ACV gummies, that’s apple cider vinegar at 18.

We got the mushroom gummies, the four mushroom deal. That’s a 60 count and not 30 count, but 60, that’s 37. And then we’ve got the matrix mushroom.

That’s five different mushrooms in there for 30 bucks. And then we got the lion’s mane mushrooms for 27. We got the turkey tail.

Turkey tail, what did I call it? I can’t. I don’t know, turkey teal? Yeah, turkey teal, but for 27, yeah. And we’ve got the coffee for, pound of coffee for 25 bucks.

That says CBD in the mushrooms. And then you get the next product. We got the mixed flavors of the five milligram, 10 count THC gummies, seven and a half bucks if you want a 30 pack.

Those are 23 bucks, yeah. And I guess if you did add the seven and a half’s up, they’re cheaper than 23. That just means we got a ton of those.

So we’re trying to sell those instead of the 30s. But go ahead. I mean, you know what? That’s all right, I’m glad I said that.

Anyways, okay, and then we got, if you want a certain flavors, those are nine bucks a bag for 10 count. And then if you want to save 18 bucks, you got the 120 count in the five flavors at 90 bucks. And then we’ve got the 7,000 broad spectrum peppermint special there.

That’s just no THC in there. That’s $45 right now. We got the Miracle Gold double-sized, regular Miracle Gold, that’s $90.

We got Delta 8 gummies, 26. We got the Miracle Gold with THC, 90 bucks, double bottle. We got the 14,000 with the THC in it.

That’s one serving of that, which is just a half a drop for you guys. You’ll get about, oh my God, what do you get? 200 and something, 225 milligrams of CBD. And then you’ll get THC, about two and a half milligrams.

That’s kind of a nice little thing. Then we get the 1,500 with the THC in it. That’s got about 75 milligrams of THC in that bottle.

So, and then we got the 3,500 broad spectrum, 28 bucks. And we got the super immunity, 70 bucks. And that’s all the specials, you guys.

So now we can get back to talking. There you go. Yeah, one, like Zester’s grandmother on his mother’s side.

They call her SOMO. Don’t ask, or yeah, definitely ask. We’ll ask Zester one, whiskey and wisdom, why he came up with that nickname as a kid.

But she’s late 80s. She has absolutely embraced CBD, and especially with the THC for the aches and pains. She’s getting ready to have a knee surgery.

Speaking of which, I’ve got to get some ordered to send her away. But like water soluble for knee pain, give her a five milligram or 10. She would much rather take that than everything.

And her doctors, I’m stunned at the geriatric or doctors for older folks are now going, you know, yeah, take it. It’s gonna be a whole lot easier on your sit. I’m just blown away by how so many doctors for, you know, as we age, we’ll call them geriatric.

I know none of us want to be lumped into that, but come on, we’re getting older. But just embracing it because it’s so effective. And they, you know, they get such great reports.

I just love it. This is the generation that was terrified. Anything, pot, cannabis, marijuana, nah, don’t touch it.

And now that they’re seeing how effective, efficient, and how little side effects, they’ve just embraced it. It’s the biggest growing segment in the industry. Yeah, it is.

Well, and, but I think, Mark, we’re getting to the point where, you know, with all these medications, think about it, a lot of these medications have only been around for, you know, 30, 40 years. And so I know that’s not all I say only, but it’s like, okay, so we’re starting to see long-term, you know, problems that have, you know, risen out of this. And a lot of these doctors have seen some of these negatives happen in their own family.

And so because of that, they’re like, man, there’s gotta be something better out there that’s gonna have less side effects, that’s gonna work just as good naturally as these medications from pharmaceuticals. So, you know, I think there’s a lot more open-mindedness because of that. And a lot of these doctors are seeing it firsthand, which is really helping, I believe, the overall cause.

Oh, I agree. Yeah, Jill, their deltates are sleep magic for me, that’s for certain. But there are times where the brain needs shut down and I have to add a little bit of nine to it for me.

Now, I’m trying to get myself distracted. We had talked about pets. We were gonna touch on them because she’d tried some other CBDs and they just weren’t effective.

But they’ve got right here, their pet CBD button, guys. You can click on it and they’ve got pet oil. They’ve got, of course, they have the CBD pet treats.

They have them with mushrooms in them as well. But, Thunderstorm, what would you suggest? I don’t, of course, I don’t know the weight of the dog. That’s gonna be very important, but kind of just a place to start for them.

That’s for you, Lucas. Okay, well, Matt usually likes taking over the pets. Well, we can let him have the pets, you know.

Okay, go, okay. No, no, it’s good. No, Matt, you can’t have this one.

Okay, man, okay. So, I mean, we have the 1500. And just start off with pets.

It’s always good to start off low and kind of work your way up. And so, give them, say, depending on size, say on the 1500, give them like five drops, whether you put it on a treat, whether you, I personally, you and I like to do. On the day to ask your vet.

I will, I think that’s number one, to make sure that you’re asking your vet. Because the other thing is, I don’t know if your pet’s on any other medication. None of us do.

And so, you’ve gotta make sure that you’re talking with your vet and see, kind of poundage what they suggest. But always start off low and then kind of work your way up on an hour by hour basis, depending on how your dog reacts to it. So, just start off real low, but you will find that your animal will react super quickly as well as with low potency.

Because they just absorb it so quickly. Their bodies are just so, I mean, and the bad part is, Mark, is that we used to be that way. We used to have the uptake like that, except for our food intake and what it’s done to us over the last decade, or millennia.

Right. Hey, can I add something to the pet deal? No, absolutely. Other than your favorite Chinese restaurant, sure.

Okay, Mark. Matt, I have never heard you like Chinese. Do you like Chinese? Oh my God.

Are you kidding me? What’s the name of the place? Chin’s, yeah, Chin’s. They opened in 58. That’s the year I was born.

And I always tell people that, I think I’ve ate food from Chin’s probably 1,000 times. Is it a buffet? No, no, no. They make just all the regular Chinese dishes, but the chow mein is the one I really like.

Yeah, I’ve been, I’m going 60, 70 years. I like the less healthy version, lo mein. Yeah, lo mein, okay, okay, okay.

But I don’t know. You really gotta keep an eye on that Chinese to go now because they kind of switch the ingredients the last 10 years, so watch it there. But no, but on the, here’s what you can do, especially if you’re wondering if CBD works, you guys.

Just take an old dog, because I seen this for the first time seven years ago. A dog was barely walking and I watched him do it. And it was at an office setting at the place where I would get the stuff at the time.

And they had an old dog there and they, and I seen the way he was walking a couple of weeks before, you know. Then now he’s prancing around and everything. And the guy says, yeah, we start giving it CBD, you know.

And man, I swear to God, you can just take an old dog and it might only take three, four hours for it to get up. You’ll see a difference right away. So, and they don’t know what they’re taking.

You know, it’s not subliminal. Or what do they call that when you take something and you try and kind of think it’s working, but it’s not. Placebo effect.

Placebo, that’s right. Placebo, subliminal, same thing. No, I don’t know.

It’s not the same thing. The subliminal thing, I know all about that, you know. But yeah, that really works too.

We should try. You know what, Lucas, has anybody ever approached you having subliminal CBD tapes or anything? Not tapes. Are you talking about sublingual? No, subliminal where you like music plays in the background and it keeps telling them to take the CBD or THC.

No, no, I’ve never. I mean, unless it’s a crazy game, kind of like what we were gonna do when we decided we were all gonna meet up in Vegas with Mark and get in a hot tub and have music play in the background and we do shots of- It sounds like a podcast. Yeah, you know, wow, yeah, that would be good.

And yeah, I lost my train of thought on that one, bitching in the hot tub with you. Good Lord. I mean, if it was a big one, there’s no way it could have been.

How big was the hot tub, Lucas? Only, it was only gonna be a two-person hot tub for three people. Oh my God. No, I’m glad I didn’t make it down from the room that night.

It was just huge. No, but I like the hot tubs where they’re about 30 feet long and you can fit about 40, not 40. Yeah, you can fit 40 people in there, maybe.

I’ve never been in a big one like that, you know? But that would be, you know what? That would have been fun. The one place I used to go two years ago, they had one about 40 feet long and oh my God, at 10, 30, 11 at night, there’d be about 30 people in there. You know, that would have been fun with the gummies in there, for sure.

That would have been- Oh boy. All right, let’s focus. Matt, when are the THC drinks gonna start shipping again? Well, let’s just say Monday or Tuesday, you know? We’ll start getting them out there, for sure.

Just, it’s kind of touchy, you know? There’s a few cold spots. I don’t want them busting up in cans, but I think it’s warm enough now, so we’ll get them out there, for sure. Sorry about that, you guys.

It’s just that they blow up so easy. Does it just- No, yeah, no, I totally understand. Mark Cribb, yes, on that methylene blue question you had in there.

Here’s one for you. Somebody asking, can CBD oil help with vestibular migraines? And I saw the question earlier, so I did a web search, because this is not one I’m familiar with, Lucas or Matt. You guys might be, but I wasn’t.

So I just did a quick look and skimmed a couple of articles while you guys were talking. But this first one really sums it up. CBD oil may help with vestibular migraines.

There were a lot of people here commenting how effective it was for them. But we got to follow the science, though. But scientific evidence is limited.

In other words, there’s some, but not a lot, meaning they just haven’t studied much. But people have reported relief from the symptoms after using CBD products. The FDA has not approved it for this use.

CBD may alleviate symptoms such as tinnitus, sleep disturbance, vertigo, balance issues, and anxiety. And what I was reading, a number of people had commented on how effective it was for theirs. They’re just saying, look, there hasn’t been enough science to put an absolute 100% stamp on it, but people using it are giving very positive reports.

And for me, that’s the important one. I’m not real concerned what the science says, as long as it works well and doesn’t mean no harm, but that’s kind of my thought. Yeah, do you know anything about those migraines, Lucas? No, I don’t really, and the only reason I say this is because they have not, I haven’t focused on migraines because there has not been a lot of research done in regards to cannabinoids and migraines.

Now, do I think that’s deliberate? Potentially, but it’s not really something that they have actively studied. And it might be because it’s, so you have your core things that the medical industry has researched, right? Depending on like pain, inflammation, antimicrobial, and the list goes on and on. Say there’s a list of like, I don’t know, 12, 15, whatever, but they just haven’t went into the other realms.

But it’s also, I think, potentially because they’ve just really done most of their studies based upon CBD and THC. Whereas like, say, CBG, CBN. Yeah, well, and they haven’t gotten to the minor cannabinoids, CBC, like all these other ones.

And I believe they’ve really, really began to start looking into those, especially in the last few years. But there’s just not enough medical research out there that I’ve been able to get my hands on that have really proved to me one way or another. One thing to remember though, when it comes to these scientific studies, they’re expensive, so who’s gonna pay for them? Pharmaceutical companies have lots of money.

CBD gurus doesn’t have tons of money sitting around to start a $2 or $3 million study for these things. So we are largely, unfortunately, because of the money machine behind all of this, we are kind of stuck with going, well, what works for you? We can share some of the science that comes from some universities and stuff, but things can be absolutely world-class, top-notch, but you can’t really throw the stamp on it until they do all those scientific studies where you can just say it without getting yourself in trouble. Leaves us going by, well, what’s working for you? And then you look at what science there is available.

Well, and so, Mark, they have, there are, I even know, I met a guy a long time ago, probably five years ago, I still buy stuff from him. And I mean, he’s got a massive company that mostly does like CBN and CBG and things like that. And they just got done with a medical case study.

And he was like, it was nearly impossible to get it done. And not only was it hard to get it done, but the cost. I mean, I think they paid a little over a million dollars for this case study that lasted like seven, eight months.

And they’re still, because they’re trying to get CBN GRAS approved. So they’re trying to get CBN GRAS approved as well as FDA approved. And they went through the correct channels to do the studies for the FDA approval.

And even after all of that and doing exactly what the FDA required, the FDA’s just kind of stalled out and just like, well, we don’t know. And he was like, so for a lot of people, it’s like, how is that? I mean, he’s got to recoup all that money for that study. And the FDA is still dragging on this whole thing.

And that was, I mean, it might be a little bit different now, but that was ended the tail end of last year. And he was still so frustrated because he’s like, I did everything the FDA asked and required, and they’re still not giving me an answer. So for a lot of people, it’s not even worth it to spend that money because they’re like, what are we going to get out of it? Even if we do.

One thing on the migraines after that deal, listen, the main thing is you got to get to a, I got to an oncologist, you know, and they tested my blood and I had a blood disorder and I’ve been taking a blood thinner for going on 20 years, okay. And I haven’t had a migraine since, okay. So you got to get your blood checked first.

It’s usually probably the root cause of it. And your regular doctor doesn’t even know that you got to get to somebody who’s a real specialist in blood, they’ll test it in their office. Then they’ll tell you if you need it, what your problem is, okay.

And then the same thing with the back thing, I get a lot of questions on that, you know, just that this, I’m just trying to kill two birds with one stone here. If you got nerve, your back hurts or whatever, make sure you get to an orthopedist because they have a lot of stuff out there now that they didn’t have 15, 20 years ago, you know, and it’s real easy. You can go in and like my guy, I call him the shot doctor.

He’ll get in there with his ultrasound and shoot your nerves that are acting up and then they just don’t act up anymore, you know. So, and then you feel great. So just remember, get to the doctor there first too, but not your regular doctor usually doesn’t know much.

You got to get to a specialist. So, okay, take over, sorry. Well, one SG from West Virginia has, you know, come up with the name of that podcast.

It will be Rub-a-dub-a-dub, three men in a tub. So we now have a name for when we do that podcast. I wanted to share that one before I moved in.

Three men in a 10 man tub, I’ll do it. Yeah, Rub-a-dub-a-dub, three men in a tub. Richard just said, hey, Lucas, maybe we can get RFK Jr. to give some funding studies.

You know, that’s not a bad idea to start pushing for that through social media, et cetera, because we do need to know more. But that total side note, Trash Dog wants to know when is X-Freeze going to be back in stock? Yeah, the roll on Lucas. I don’t know, as soon as we get it.

I mean, we shipped some out this week. So, you know, give it, you know, early part of next week and there’ll be back in stock. Sorry, we just had to get some.

Matt, do you want to tell them how they can order it, I guess, if they want to get it before? Okay, how do I, okay, Matt’s going to tell you. Okay, well, the site says it’s out of stock, Lucas. Sorry, man.

So. Well, I’m just saying they can go to, do you want them to go to kind of the wholesale site and be able to get them from there? No, it’s out of stock there. I’m not sure.

You can’t buy them at the, what? They can go to the gurus and get it. Oh, okay. Oh, you can? Lucas, let’s not bring that up because right now, let’s leave, yeah, yeah, let’s.

All right, we’re going to leave it at working on it. Yeah, we’re working on that, you guys. So let’s just hold off on that.

But we’ll have it in stock here, sounds like by Monday or Tuesday, and then we’ll put it in the day before or two days before. We’ll just go see when it’s going to be here. All righty, that was easy.

You know what? This is great. You guys started early. We still got 20 minutes.

That’s awesome. Right, well, we said yesterday we were. One, I just want to, Chrome Alexander, aka Big Cat, you know, I hate to hear that one.

With the sepsis and all that, very much consider, because there is some research. I’m not saying it cures, treats, whatever. I’m just saying it might be worth asking the doctor or giving it a try.

But the miracle gold with the black seed oil has been shown in some studies that, you know, probably be worth doing a little research to share with your doc. Hey, you know, there’s one thing that’s kind of off the subject, but why not? Okay, here we go. So I’ve had two of my wrestling buddies for a long time using our products, and one of them, I think the average wrestler doesn’t last long past, pro wrestlers pass the age of like 60, and I think he’s going on 66, you know, and he’s just doing great, you know, and he uses our stuff all the time.

He’s the guy where I put the miracle gold on his moldy toes, you know, or toenails, or fungus toenails, I call them moldy. Yeah, and they helped him out quite a bit, okay? But if you’re in Vegas this weekend, by any chance, he’s at his booth, and the two guys, the two wrestlers, because they use our stuff, so they’re promoting it, you know, letting people, they’re signing their autograph on it. But they actually have their picture on one of the bags, it’s pretty cool.

So, how’d you like that, Lucas? You know, here’s the thing, you guys. We and Lucas, we don’t agree on everything, okay? But most of the time we do. And he said, no, don’t do it.

But Lucas, I do gotta tell you, a lot of our store guys have seen the package already, and they want them in their store right now. See, there’s a lot of wrestling fans out there, people don’t understand, there really are. And for guys that should be dead, you know, to sit there and promote your product, and they use it all the time, that’s a pretty good thing, you know? These guys are, I think John had, the one buddy of mine, he had 3,500 matches in his days, you know? Or days he wrestled, a lot of times they wrestled two, three times a day on the weekends.

But so, he probably had 6,000 matches, and he’s beat up, but he’s still around, and he’s still kicking, and this stuff really helps him. So, they wanted to get going on it and promote it. So, I’m happy for him.

And they’re in Vegas right now. The biggest show of the year in Vegas this week. I think you need to have, like, packs of CBTHC gummies just for the wrestlers, because they know a thing about hurting themselves.

Even when it’s not real, and they’re picking up 300-pound people and tossing them around, somebody’s gonna get hurt. You’re gonna have pain. We need to have, like, the pictures of them on a mat.

We will. We can collect them like Topps baseball cards. We can collect, you know, gummy packs.

Trust me, that’s what they say too, and they like it. You know, because some of the packs are just blanks, and they’re signing autographs with them. I already talked to them.

They had a great day yesterday. They loved it. Oh, it was awesome.

I mean, but that’s a big show. I mean, they had, I don’t know, yesterday, I suppose, on average, in their exposition hall, they probably had 5,000 people in there at a time. You know, it was a pretty big deal.

But anyways, yeah, WrestleMania, big time. Vegas, go see them. Anyway, I’m not promoting them.

Lucas, you know what? If Lucas would’ve took a different turn in his life, he’d probably be wrestling right now. He came close to being a pro wrestler, I think. Well, maybe we can get on one of these tag teams.

You know, you can wheel me out, and one of you guys can pick me up and throw me at the other wrestler. Another one can, like, you know, grab the chair and, like, hit the other one in the back while they’re trying to. I mean, I think we could, you know, make this thing work for pro wrestling.

I think it can too, Mark, and I know you like those guys too. So maybe you can do some interviews with them sometime. That’d be awesome.

It would be, yeah. I got a buddy of mine, Richard, who’s probably the biggest wrestling aficionado on the planet. I’d make him join me.

Those guys are a hoot to talk to. You know, the one thing about those guys after they retire, you know, and they just go out and sign autographs, they’re the biggest draw in all of sports. They, like, if you took old football players and read it out of place, they don’t even draw 1 10th of what the wrestlers draw, or any sport, baseball players or anything.

And it’s because the, you know, they’re all over YouTube and their dads show their kids. You know, it’s something they see together. Hey, look at that guy.

I used to watch him. There’s Nord the Berserker. There’s Jake the Snake.

And by the way, we’re going to have Jake the Snake too. I shouldn’t say that, but yeah. Missy Hyatt, Jake the Snake, JBL.

We’re going to have a bunch of them. All right, Lucas is like, all right, you know, I like wrestling, but you guys need to get back to focus. Lucas is all pissed off, trust me.

I’m just shaking my head, like, oh gee, I can picture you in one of those memes, emojis, SMH, shake my head. Broncos Freak wants to know, wait, are the 10 milligram gummies really out of stock? And I’m looking through and I’m like, I think they are. Okay, I’m going to throw that one at Lucas.

Where are we at, baby? Yeah, I mean, those got shipped out too. Like we went through and kind of one thing we were talking about and, you know, Matt got super frustrated, but like I’m super frustrated too. We’ve had a lot of disruption over the past couple months with everything going on in our world with sourcing, Mark.

So I was able to just get my hands, I actually ordered an excessive amount and that’s what happened too, right? So what happened was guys is that, you know, with these tariffs, which I’m totally on board for because I know what it’ll help us with long-term, but so what happens when there’s these tariffs that are going to be announced? So say a company buys a thousand bottles a month of just plastic, right? So what they’re going to do is when they announce the tariffs is that they’re going to go and they’re going to order 50,000 bottles. Oh yeah. Because- Or more.

Or more, just because they want to make sure that they’re always going to have them, they need them. And so- Probably caused all kinds of packaging issues. It has caused packaging issues, raw ingredient issues.

I mean- And then we lost them, but I can imagine it has cost a bunch of them. Emily, they do have some Delta nines in stock. They have the five milligram D9 gummies.

They also have, they have it, of course, in their super full spectrum. And I need to check to see if the water soluble is in stock. Do you know on that one, Matt? There’s a water soluble, let’s take a look.

Yeah, it should be in stock. It better be. Yeah, I hope so.

Yeah, it’s in stock. So the water soluble, of course, is D9 as well. And I tell you, if you’re in extreme pain, that to me has been by far the best, but it will make you a little loopy.

Just be prepared for that. It is effective and it works. Had somebody else ask, what do you think the best thing would be to get, they’re trying to wean themselves off creatine, which is kind of like a, I mean, there’s a lot more research that needs done on it, but many report that it’s kind of like a safer version of an opioid with less side effects, but still can be addictive.

Just my thoughts other than- Was that kratom, you said, Mark? Kratom, like maybe I, hopefully I said that correctly. I think it’s C-R-A-T-O-M, kratom, yeah. Yeah, I think it’s kratom, right? I’m not sure.

Maybe I’m wrong. Yeah, let’s see. Yeah, C-R-A-T-O-M, kratom.

Somebody was like trying to wean themselves off of taking that. For me, I would think maybe one of the five milligram D9s just go slow, but I don’t know if you could hear that, Lucas, in the background. No, I got disconnected.

Definitely check with your doctor. I just got back in. Yeah, I do got some thoughts on the kratom because I know some guys who own stores that sell it, you know, and maybe Lucas will have his thoughts too, but the guys who buy it, they really want to buy it.

You know what I mean? It’s like they come in, they get it, they don’t mess around. And I mean, it’s, I hate to say it, but I think it’s kind of addictive, you know? So what do you think, Lucas? I’m totally TNB, but I don’t know. No personal experience.

So kratom is, I’m not really for kratom. I’ve even tried it, Matt, kratom in and of itself. Here’s my biggest problem with the kratom market.

Now, if you were asking me this question three years ago, I’d probably have a different answer. The problem is right now, the kratom market, they are marketing this stuff as kratom that’s on the market. In reality, it isn’t kratom.

Because what they, because a lot of the states have put a ton of regulations on kratom. So everyone right now, because they want more of that feel, more of that high feeling. And so they’re marketing these products as kratom.

Or synthetic or something. Well, what it is, is it’s the 7-hydroxy-7. Or sorry, yeah, 7-hydroxy-8.

So one of the hydroxies that they’re using, and the problem is by using that, it’s like 10 times more, one, it’s 10 times more addictive. It’s 10 times more potent to where the felt effect is super strong. And what’s even worse than that, Mark, is that there’s no ceiling.

So if you take too much, say Delta-9 or whatever, like you just get, it just prolongs the, say the high, if you will. But, so there’s that ceiling. But these hydroxies that they’re using, these chemical compounds that they’re trying to replicate the kratom, which is the metrogenine, really they’re trying to replicate the metrogenine, is that there’s no ceiling.

So it can be super dangerous to take. If you take too much, I don’t know. I kind of steer people away from it just because of that in and of itself.

Yeah, just from that, you certainly wanna be very positive about your source. But that’s true with this convenience store CBD out there, too. Yeah, yeah, that’s true.

I mean, the, you know, and they can put a lot of, you gotta, it’s crazy, Mark, that you even have to worry about, you know, oh, they tell me this is in there. I mean, the same thing goes with vitamins, though, as well. I mean, we’ve had issues when we’ve made like vitamin gummies and, you know, people like, oh, this is like, you know, men’s multivitamin gummy.

And it’s like, well, then you get it tested and there’s nothing in it. And, or there’s something totally different in it than what they tell you. And it’s like, gosh, like, why do I have to be, like, I’m almost crazy overlay cautious on that stuff, just because you really have to trust who you’re getting your stuff from.

I’m glad you are because, I mean, you’re kind of in an industry that is, falls in so much gray. So considering, you know, we get a lot of products, I’m really glad you’re picky. I mean, it’s, I mean, Matt knows like our testing and why kind of our pricing is kind of high in some areas is because the testing costs are crazy high.

I mean, but we test the raw ingredients, we test our bases. And then after everything’s put together, we take several random samples from, you know, 10% of the bottles throughout everything and then send all of those in for full panels, heavy metals, pesticides, potencies, water activity level. I mean, you name it.

So I think there’s, I don’t know, like a hundred and some things that are tested for. So yeah, we’re pretty, we’re almost overlay cautious on a lot of this stuff. But I feel like, here’s the thing.

If I’m buying a product, that’s what I would want. What would you want? What would you want? I would want over testing. I want the company to over test the product so crazy that, you know, like that it’s almost ridiculous.

And like, that’s how I feel. And that’s, you know, just how we’ve always done it just because we’ve seen the lack of that. And I just, I don’t want to be a part of that.

No, I’m glad you don’t. Ooh, wow, man, time has flown this morning for such a long morning. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it though.

Hey, can I tell them how to get the site, you guys? We got a little time before you have to do that. You know, we don’t mind if you want to hit that part and then Lucas and I can go back to picking on you. Yeah, okay.

Everybody, new guys out there, you go to thecbdgurus.com, T-H-E-C-B-D-G-U-R-U-S.com. And if you have to put in a code to get in the site, lowercase K-R-A-M-C-B-D, and then you see all the specials. But no, I get, you know what? I ain’t got nothing against creative. I’m just saying that it’s the people who like it, they like it, you know? Yeah, that’s a tough one.

It’s one of those where if you can get a quality supply, people are going to take it, they’re going to get it from somewhere. So are you doing them a favor by having a better source for them? Or are you doing them a dissent favor if you don’t believe? And that one’s a really, really tough one for me, which I tend to think, you know, freedom of choice is important. It’s up to people.

You got to do your own research. You know, cover it with disclaimers, but make certain you’re getting them a quality source so that they don’t go try it from something questionable that’s got a bunch of engineered crap in it. You know, there was a stuff way back, what was it called? It was this fake marijuana they were selling about 15, 20 years ago.

Do you remember that stuff? What was it called? It wasn’t like spice or something? That stuff, man. I mean, was that 15, 20? I mean, that was probably a good 15 years ago. It probably was.

But there are so many- Boy, that stuff, holy crap, that was a disaster. Yeah, I’ve got friends whose children ended up with psychotic breaks because of that stuff. Oh, it was so horrible.

And they sold it all over the place, man. Oh, it was everywhere. Every convenience store, every whatever.

And it just, I still, my heart breaks for the one family. I mean, the kid has come around a long way, but he still has some serious mental issues from it. Yeah, it was, yeah, a lot of truckers were smoking it too, because it wouldn’t turn up on test, you know? And it was, man, it messed up a lot of people.

A lot of people. Well, yeah, sometimes, and you know, it’s just, you don’t want to sell certain things. You know, that’s why we don’t, I tried vape for about an hour one day, and I didn’t want to do it anymore because it’s very addictive, you know? Plus, I don’t know if it’s the best stuff, getting that stuff in your lungs.

I don’t think it is, you know? It’s not natural smoke, you know? It’s like, you know, and I just don’t smoke anymore, but anyways, I never really did that much, but, you know, smoke in the lungs, I don’t know if that’s a natural thing, you know, so. Yeah, no, for me, it’s not for me. I know a lot of people are, you know, purists, whatever, traditionalists, they smoke, but not for me.

Right, there you go. K-Synthetic, yeah, K2, that’s what it was. Good Lord, you know, that stuff.

And the bath salts, the bath salts were, you know, I mean, our bath bombs don’t have anything like that in there, but the same stuff was in them was, I think, in those bath salts they would sell or something you know, but nothing to do with our bath bombs. They’re good, in fact, they’re really good. You know, I can’t wait to have Missy, I had to do a commercial with our bath bombs in there.

That’s gonna be awesome. Lucas. Oh, no, wait a minute.

Wouldn’t it be better for the three men, rub-a-dub-dub in the hot tub with the bath bombs? Ooh. I mean, what better, you know? Yeah. Well, yeah, for sure.

In the 10 person bathtub, not the two. Two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two. No, hey, it’s Saturday, hey.

It is Saturday, and speaking of which, we only have a few minutes left, so Matt, what are you gonna do with the balance of your Saturday? Oh, quite a bit, really. I get, my wife wants me to go over to this farm place and watch some farm animals be born. I don’t know, that’s one choice for the beginning.

And then the rest of the day, just, I know I gotta go visit a few people, and I don’t know, I’m just, I guess I gotta go to the warehouse for a little bit, you know, but I don’t really, yeah, I love going there, especially helping out to get the orders out on Saturday, you know? Speaking of Saturdays, are you going to be in Florida on May 2nd, on Friday, to man the booth? Are you gonna be there? I’m telling you, I’m going. I’m gonna be there the 30th, the 1st, and the 2nd at Doral, at the golf course for Charlie’s Gala. And we’ve got a booth the 2nd.

We can get a booth the 1st, too, if you wanna go both days. You can run a booth the 1st and 2nd. Maybe we can get some Mark Z merch or something, and we’ll put Matt Manning it with some stuff.

No, I’ll be there the 2nd. That is that Friday, right? I might bring some coffee or something to put on there, too. Yeah, yeah, well, you come by there.

I’ll give you some gummies. It’ll be great. I mean, can the public go to that deal, Mark, or what is it? Eh, nah, it’s people for the event, but there are gonna be a lot of people there.

A lot of them from the community, a lot from other, call them truth or guru communities, some very respectable people will be there as well. Right now, it looks like Laura Trump’s going to be in attendance. I mean, it should be a good time.

And that’s two weekends from this weekend, right? That’s right, two weeks from yesterday. Oh, we got Lucas back in the house, so we can find out what he’s gonna do this weekend before we call it a wrap with you fellas. Oh, gosh, very little, very little.

It’s been a couple of rough weeks. Today, I have completely free. Oh, good, then I can call you all day, thanks.

Now, I kind of agree with what I was gonna do today, but now that I know you’re gonna walk around with a Bluetooth in your ear and talk to me all day, I mean, this is, oh boy, am I lucky. I mean, you know, you can call it that. Hey, Lucas, would it be all right if I put Mark’s image on the gummy pack? Is that all right? I don’t know if you would want that.

Well, let’s ask him right here. Do you want it, Mark? I still got time. I don’t know, can you Photoshop out the bags under the eyes from the crazy week I’ve had, or do we leave those? No, the bags under the eyes have to stay.

I would rather just like the gummies come in a bag instead. Mark, I sent you a picture of my newest edition. Can you show it to us? Oh, you already showed it, or was I? Yeah, that’s a good question.

What the hell was I looking at? You know, we’re all trying to figure that out. Look at that, does that look good, everybody? Well, here, let me make it like, you know, let’s bounce it over here, make it like full size, just like Matt. That’s the famous grappler.

From Texas. What do you think, Lucas? That could have been you. That would have been, Lucas does look like that, you guys.

He wears that mask around, just kicking everybody’s ass. Yeah, what he and his wife do in their spare time, is that’s, that’s, that’s. Did he, did Lucas leave? Did he leave? Oh, I’m here, I’m just, I’m just, I, gosh.

I was hoping you left. No. No.

Sorry, Lucas, I don’t mean to do that to you. There’s some things, the guys that you guys just, Matt, Matt tells me these things from time to time, and I’m just like, I just don’t even know. Yeah.

Oh. But no, no, it’s, listen, it’s a, it’s a, I mean, both, he uses my stuff too, and he’s still kicking, he’s doing great, man. You know, he loves his stuff, and they wanted to, they wanted to let everybody know about it, and they are, this weekend.

And hopefully their earnings, yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say. That’s a great deal. Mark, it’s been great for having us on, I appreciate it, and, and I can’t wait to, and if, so the public can’t get in there on that Friday, huh? Good Lord.

Yeah, well, I’m certain that, that there’s, I mean, I guess there’s a possibility if they have a publicly accessible bar or restaurant that, you know, somebody will be there. I, I’ve never been, so I don’t know what to say. Well, are they gonna let me in, or what I, what I do? Yeah, I’ve already got you a, I’ve already got you a visitor’s pass to help work the, the booth.

I already lined that up yesterday, in case you were gonna make it, and if not, I was gonna give it to, you know, somebody else. Well, you know, I think I’m gonna make it. I was seeing all those people on the panel, it looks like a nice, fun crowd, you know? And, yeah, I, yeah, it’ll be fun.

Hmm. It’s gonna be a great time. I, I mean, you know, we invited Lucas, but he’s gonna be somewhere.

Yep, busy. Yeah, it’s too bad, Lucas. You’re gonna miss it.

He’s gonna be keeping the hot tub warm. That’s right, for when you guys are done. Yeah, I just don’t need you adding any of your own bubbles to it, all right there, Feller? Oh, there’s gonna be tons of bubbles, that’s all I know.

You know what, I’m gonna be, get a portable, I’ll get a portable hot tub, can we, and have it right there at the booth. Oh, geez, I’ll blow up a portable hot tub. Yeah, right? I think it’s a great idea.

Mark, have a great weekend. See you, Mark. Have fun playing on the Xbox with the kids.

All right, we’ll see you guys. You guys have a good weekend. Thanks, Mark, take care.

All right, I couldn’t resist. I have so much fun with those fellas. Lucy, Lou’s gonna be the big double nickel tomorrow.

We had Cheryl’s belated birthday as well. It’s not time to do birthdays yet, but let’s have a little fun. Rain Man guilty as charged.

Let’s see, am I blowing, I’m just reading a few of these, then we’re gonna run right back on it. But something I missed yesterday, which is a rare one for me, yesterday was the anniversary for the Doolittle Raid. Honoring the Doolittle Raid, a legacy of courage and innovation.

I’m gonna put that in links today just in case anybody has any interest. I know I’m a history geek, so not requiring you guys to be history geeks, but I am gonna squeeze that one in there. All right, let’s get to some news, what news there is, which is somewhat limited today.

Oh, before I forget, I need to announce this for those that are with us. Zester is planning on a 1 p.m. Q&A today. Just so many of the ones he’s done in the past, people haven’t really been able to ask other questions.

They’ve been very focused. So he is looking forward to doing one after the crazy week, internet, no internet, work. I mean, he just hasn’t been as consistent, so he’s gonna do one this afternoon at one.

Here in just a little bit to give you guys some time and ask some questions with all the craziness going on in the crypto markets. All right, that was all on that front. Now let’s get back to why many of you showed up this morning.

El Nasiri confirms the methodology the Central Bank for Reform and Banking Development contributes to accelerating Iraq’s ascension in the World Trade Organization. All right, this is something we have just started seeing in the last couple of days in the press coming out of Iraq, is they are beating on this one again. It kind of went tabled, stalled, like what happened to it? We keep hearing this needs done, that needs done, and then we’re gonna get our rate.

This is one of those things that we kept being told. Well, they’re ready. Well, they’ve completed all their requirements.

They’re ready for World Trade Organization ascension. And here we have Nasiri openly talking about it again and just saying, hey, we’ve done all these reforms. Now we are ready to join, do ascension.

We’ve done the workshops. We’ve done the practice. We’ve done the learning.

I just find this curious timing-wise as they are wrapping up their, what they call their white reforms or economic reforms, banking reforms, so that they can, and their words, so they can lift the purchasing price of all Iraqis, lift the purchasing price of their currency. Or Sudani said, once again, make it the most, return it to its prior, I’m trying to remember the term he used, but in that same speech, he said that it would once again be the father of the dollar and not the dollar of the father, but he was getting at, in other words, restore it to its position as the most valuable currency in the world. So openly talking about that.

Now we’ve got our white reform, and these are some of the steps that we were told were necessary, and we are watching them complete them and announce them. We still have a lot of confusion going on in the herbal Kurdish region, I should say. Postponement of the meeting of talks to resume the export of oil of the Kurdistan region.

They were supposed to have a meeting today to pound out their last differences. We know they announced this week on the 16th that Baghdad is now guaranteeing those fees for the international companies for pumping oil, et cetera, getting it out, putting in the pipeline to go to Turkey. So we do know that one of the biggest roadblocks was taken care of this week and announced.

I am wondering here if they are postponing these meetings on purpose because many people know or believe that within days of them settling those things that we get a new rate. So at this point, I’m wondering, hey, are they doing this just to throw us off a little on timing? Very interested to see what you guys have to say on that one because it would certainly make a lot of sense. Trek for Life, oh, wait, celebrating 45 years of a blessed marriage today.

Definitely outkicked my coverage. Trek for Life, congratulations to you and the bride. Ruth’s birthday, I’m gonna try to keep up with some of these as I see them.

So this one, curious what you guys think. Greg, I am not planning a meet and greet while I’m there because they have me scheduled for so many already. There will be plenty of times, especially throughout the summer, guys.

I plan on a good bit of time in the States for those. I am planning on a meet and greet and I’ve got to get these details worked out. I hope to do one May 8th in Bellhaven, North Carolina in the evening.

I’ve got to get on that one and get it set up, make certain it is still an option. Danny, do I think we’ve reached the 30% threshold bond movement? No, I think we are this close to it though. I think we’re this close to it.

I think they’re stalling on the announcement of some of those because we know that they are benchmarks and then we would be able to track better almost within days when we get to reset. And I think they’re obfuscating some of those dates on purpose. That is my belief.

Trade launching farmer’s dues and electronic payment system. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but it’s actually a really big thing because they are modernizing their agricultural system. This is one of the major legs that they are putting in their support for their currency and for their economic stability in the country is to greatly increase their agricultural output and here they’re talking about a major move in that direction as they are upgrading services, making it easier for farmers, et cetera, to get paid, reimbursed.

It’s almost like correcting past problems in the agricultural sector, but throwing huge money behind them. This one really brings stability to Iraq. Food, there’s certain things you can’t live without.

Energy, food, basic clothes. I mean, there are just some things that you are not gonna live without and Iraq is focusing on those, which brings stability and extra revenue, broadening their base, which supports their value. And they’ve been very upfront about this.

In order to support an increased value of their currency, they need to develop these other industries and that’s exactly what they’re doing. They’ve told you why they’re doing it and that’s what they’re doing it and you can follow along with them. You can track the progress.

Love that one. All right, parliamentary security. Another one of these big ones that we were told was necessary.

As they are restructuring of controls has entered final stages. In other words, they’re getting rid of all kinds of unnecessary checkpoints that used to be necessary when they did not have stability in the country. They are now removing some, upgrading others, especially at borders and which is important.

They have to control their borders, especially their financial borders. This is another one of those we were told very specifically that they would control. You would see greater control of their financial borders when they were preparing to change your value.

We’re watching it, guys. You can go through their news, you can track everything they have talked about in their reforms so that they can support it. Walter, they are not all paid up yet.

It does appear some are and moving towards more and more completions nearly daily. Darren also doing the double nickel. We got a couple of double nickels today.

Trying to keep up with you all. There will be some time. Jack, no fresh news on the Vietnamese dong today though, unfortunately, but nothing negative.

Still very much expected and we have finally started getting more news out of Vietnam over the past week or two. We’ve shared a couple of stories for you folks. Christie’s granddaughter, Ava, gonna be the big 12 today.

Her last double digit without being a teenager. Clinton, I am not hearing that Jerome Powell and the Fed need to be gone before, well, the Fed. I’ve always been told that the Fed would get blended into Treasury or taken over by Treasury.

We certainly, when we are listening to folks that work at Treasury or work at Fed, they’re saying similar things that Fed’s being like swallowed. I don’t think it’s necessary to make Powell go first. I think we’ll see that at the same time as they give us our announcement.

That’s my belief. Just based on comments from people that work in those organizations and other signs we’ve seen. All right, keep going.

Just a couple more stories and then we can just hang out. Trump administration changes the COVID website to say outbreak began in the Chinese lab. They also got into who funded what, naming specifically Fauci and some of the questionable research.

I think this one’s a big change. A lot of liberals not happy about this, but I think it was necessary. We need to know the truth.

Although I wonder if this is a little bit of making us feel better because we haven’t seen a lot of arrests yet. Do you think they’re like pointing all these things out? So, yeah, yeah, I told you so. To keep us pacified while they finish cleaning things up.

I’m just curious on that one because we’re seeing a lot of that, but we’re not seeing prosecutions yet. So I’m wondering if some of that, is it laying the groundwork? Is it helping to sway the public opinion so they embrace when they do start locking some of these folks up? Another one of those, I just wanted your comments. Jipper, a lot of people sent this to me, but I have not watched it.

Just said Holly Sialano’s recent podcast on YouTube discusses how treasury absorbed the Fed. I was always told, I’ve not watched it, but I’ve been told quite literally from day one that that is what would occur. That many of the functions the Fed does are still going to be necessary for controlling monetary supply and the differences that will be sound money.

So, it makes sense to me. I’m glad she covered it. YouTube user today is, YouTube user’s husband’s birthday, 86 today.

Happy birthday to your husband. Trying to keep up. Yep, CD Rambo, that’s what I’m wondering.

Is this a precursor to the perp walks? Is this to prepare the people? Is this true from Todd Starnes? I have no idea who that is. At midnight, Supreme Court voted 72 to stop President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act. Yes, but it’s a temporary hold while they hear.

Thomas and Alito stood with the American people and Trump. Yes, so there is a, this is specifically not all of them. This is on the Venezuelan.

It’s my understanding that it’s on the Venezuelan ones that came in, like 980,000 of them or so under temporary ones fleeing. I’m told it only affects those, not all illegal immigrants, but specifically the ones from Venezuela. And it is a temporary hold while they hear arguments and collect more information.

Of course, Thomas and Alito going, you know, he’s got the power. So yeah, we’re watching a complete shake out right now. And the left is getting better at how they’re playing the political game.

Trump’s gonna need to shake him up again to keep him off balance, to move forward with his agenda. A lot of people like, oh my God, he’s trying to claim so much power, so much power for the executive summit. What he’s trying to do is reclaim it back from the court systems.

And the activist judges is what he’s trying to do for any of those that actually care what’s really happening or if they just want their virtue signaling, which is most on the left. They just want their virtue signaling and the rhinos. All right, keep going.

You could prosecute thousands. Peter Thiel explains how Doge is exposing left-wing NGOs. I like this one.

I think they’re all scams. I think the nonprofit stuff’s out of control. It’s sort of like virtue signaling is a sign that you’re doing something evil.

Thiel told Lonsdale on his American Optimist podcast, so much of this left-wing philanthropy, nonprofit world was just a cover for borderline criminal activity. So what a lot of these NGOs and Thiel is explaining what they have found with Doge, they would, you would have three or four, half dozen organizations and they were gonna feed the poor in Africa. Well, that was about 1% of what they did, but then they’d be gone.

I can’t believe you don’t wanna fund starving people in Africa. I can’t believe you don’t wanna help with AIDS in Africa, but only a very small portion of their budget. So they’d spend a couple of hundred thousand on that, but they’d spend a billion putting on uprisings, protests, gender reassignment, all kinds of other crazy stuff.

But then they would defend it going, oh my God, we’ve got this wonderful name, like Help the Starving Children or whatever. And they do, they do contribute to it, just but a fraction so that they can take the rest of it and spend it however they want, just enough to seemingly be legit. So I loved how he broke down the NGOs going, they may not be a hundred percent illegal, but they are gray as heck and most likely illegal, but they have just enough respectability from what they’re doing to virtue signal and shut down people.

I can’t believe you’re coming after us. Think of all these people that aren’t gonna get fed now, aren’t gonna get treatment. When the reality is the overwhelming majority of the money isn’t going for those things.

I thought he did a great job breaking it. They did a great job breaking it down in this article. So I wanted to share it.

We all need to be as educated as to what’s going on as we can. All right, major European country. Now this one to me, a lot of you folks are going to celebrate, and I’m gonna tell you just how sad this is.

And you’re gonna be going like, what the heck is he talking about? Major European country enshrines biological sex in his constitution. Common sense matters, sure it does. The government of Hungary has ratified a new amendment to the nation’s constitution that recognizes the biological scientific fact that there are only two genders.

I agree. At least with humans, there are two. What is sad about this is in what dystopian craze world do we need to amend the constitution so that people understand something as simple as that? Is this where we have fallen that they even feel like they need to? I mean, we recently saw this in the UK coming from Scottish mothers forcing the issue.

We’ve seen it in the US. The countries around the world need to pass legislation or amendments to their constitution for something as simple as this. That’s like passing an amendment that says don’t jump off of 100 story buildings unless you wanna crash and die.

I mean, it’s understood. It should be so common sense that it is not necessary to legislate it. That they have to legislate it shows you just how far we have fallen as a thinking cognitive race of human beings.

That’s my take. I’m glad they did it. Try to end some of this insanity, but it’s still a sad, sad commentary that they even felt they needed to do that.

I’m just curious. It is, it’s idiocracy. The movie could not have been more apt at what it described.

As I’m reading some of those, I like somebody else thought that on many things. Yeah, to me, it’s just absolutely crazy that we need to. Whitney, happy anniversary.

I’m 46, I don’t like myself. To me, wait, something that long? I don’t understand that one. We were talking about gender.

And just to me, this is just insane. Pretty simple. I’m with you, Robert, about dumb as, I agree.

Some of these conversations that we are having, that we actually think it’s important to have the conversation, or the people that we even care what their views are, because they’re so insane. I mean, it really is, it’s nuts. And knock yourself out if you think there are 50 or 60 genders there aren’t.

So I’m just not gonna partake in your insanity. I understand the science. I paid attention in biology.

I paid attention in genetics. I’m gonna follow the science. Now, you can certainly have whatever preference you have.

I don’t care, that’s up to you, unless it’s a underage child, and then I think you should be shot, killed, drug out, removed from humanity, shot off to the moon, put into the sun, pick something, you’re sick. Yeah, I know, boy, am I gonna get myself in trouble. Well, it was good seeing you guys.

I’ll be back on Rumble next week. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Jana said, I’ve never been so aware that things are not as they seem.

They are definitely not what they seem. Yeah, yeah, so I’m just reading some of these. I majored in biology.

See, I love that. So did my daughter. Well, she hasn’t majored in it yet, because she doesn’t graduate until next month.

Then we can claim that one. Yeah, no, dude, I think if you pull your pants down and look in the mirror, you only find one or two gender choices evidenced, right? Don’t think you’ll find a bunch of them. Oh, wait, is tomorrow, oh, I guess it is.

Tomorrow’s, I just saw Jason Ott. Every weed shop in Oxford Lake, Orion has a line of at least 20 people for tomorrow. Let’s see, gold, I’m definitely golden on.

Look forward to a big get together with the community after the RV. We are all looking forward, well, not all, but most of us are looking forward to it. We do have a Supreme Court justice or two.

Actually, they know exactly. Here’s the thing on the left. Here’s the thing to remember.

Debbie, April still for RV. None of us know the timing. We’re guessing at it.

A lot of them out there telling you exactly what’s gonna happen by the minute. I don’t know, I can tell you what it looks like or what looks most likely, but I don’t have a crystal ball. They hide it and they hide it for a reason and I understand the reason.

It’s painful, it’s tough, but I understand why. So we are all guessing based on the information, but it looks good for this month. It looks really good for this month.

I know, I just missed a bunch. Oh, yeah, no, getting back to that one, Todd. They know what a woman is.

Just like when they brought the people up and put them in front of Congress or Senate and said, well, do you think a man can have a baby? Birth one naturally and oh, sure. Of course, we all know that answer. Any rational thinking person does and they know it too, but they are willing to lie about it because trying to make a point, is it more of that virtue signaling? Is it more of the insanity they’re trying to promote? You have to ask yourself why any kind of thinking human being or non-thinking human being would espouse those ideas.

What do they have to gain? Is it just to tear apart society? Is it make people question? I mean, science is science. Facts are facts or real science is facts. What do they have to gain? And I think that’s the most important thing because clearly they can’t be that stupid.

I mean, you can see it when they say it, that they don’t believe it, but they still say it. So what part of this virtue signaling, just getting along survival, mass psychosis is so important that they’re willing to avoid any reality or firm science? I think that’s what we’re gonna ask. What do they have to gain by making their comments, saying what they’re doing, supporting that view when they know that it does not stand up to the light of any kind of scientific inquiry? That’s what I keep telling myself.

What’s the motive? I think that’s exactly it, Cynthia. I think they espouse those lies so passionately to convince the kids. I think they wanna normalize things that are horrendous.

So you’re hitting somewhere where I’m hitting on that one. I’m AJ1 Cohen Mark Z. I heard the DONG and NOR will be synchronized. NOR will be in the range of four to six.

DONG will be 387. I wish it was that high. I think you could be right on the DONG.

I don’t see DONG going that high, but it could be. Maybe they’re paid to be stupid, trying to keep up with you. Oh, it’s getting that time.

Actors, I’ll buy that one. Rossi’s grandson, Weston’s 13th. Happy birthday, Weston.

No, now getting back to that one, Greg, I am, if time allows, I would bounce out of the event in Florida to do a little meet and greet nearby, just so people don’t have to pay. I think it’s important. I think too many in this community are struggling.

Everything shouldn’t have to be pay to play. I’m gonna do my best. That’s why I refuse to put myself behind a paywall, charge people for whatever, to make certain.

I’m not a fan of the paywalls that they put in front of people. And the craziest thing I’ve ever heard is, well, we’re gonna put it all behind the paywall. After we go, we’re gonna charge people $5,000, 2,000 to be part of our community.

Don’t understand. I do understand in order to have a private format, how you may have to charge five, 10 bucks, something like limited, just to force, to filter out folks that would just be trolling. Matt, it all comes back, right? All right, folks, I need to wrap it up.

I will be back Monday morning unless we get something fun, like a RV or just some really solid news. Otherwise, I will see everybody Monday morning at 10 a.m. Uh-oh, booger, we gotta get outta here before Kukla starts pinching. You’re right, thank you, brother, for that heads up.

Everybody have a wonderful, wonderful Easter. For me, it’s important. I know not everybody in here may be a Christian.

For me, most important, holiday. That he was born, fantastic. That he died for my sins, even more important.

At least it is to me. Very excited about getting to wake up tomorrow and he is risen, he is risen indeed. Know that the rock will be rolled back.

I’m my favorite. All right, folks, look forward to seeing you on Easter Monday. I know it’s Easter Monday, but I’ll still be here just like I was on Good Friday.

See you guys in less than, well, 47 hours. Bye, guys.
