Admiring the Craziness

Good afternoon, everybody. It is Monday, the 2nd of March, and we are live with episode 104 of the

last week.

What was it again?

Admiring the craziness.

Oh yeah, my ring.

Crazyness.

There we go. Okay, speaking of craziness, let's start off.

All right, well, you know,

After we got off the after we talked on Wednesday about whether we were going to do the show Thursday or not, I then noticed on YouTube that we missed the state of the union address.

So I was like, okay, we're going to talk about the state of union address on Monday.

Yeah, now I might make a few comments about it, but.

So according to Fox News, there were five unforgettable moments from truck from Trump's record breaking state of the union address.

Well, I have no clue what he talked about. So there you go.

There really wasn't much that he talked about, obviously.

But there are certain things that came out about it that were pretty nice.

Right.

You know, he, of course, I had the US hockey team there, everybody. I think everybody knows about that one.

For his 41 saves in the game, he awarded the goalie, the presidential medal of freedom.

Okay, well, which is the highest civilian honor possible.

Well, yeah, he was he was heavy good. I'm just saying.

Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.

There was one thing, one part of that he said though that just really, really was funny as hell and it didn't make Democrats look good.

good. So he was talking about, you know, just the government

in and of his self. And he said, so tonight, I'm inviting

every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a

fundamental principle. Oh, yeah, if you agree with this

statement statement, then stand up and show your support. The

statement was the first duty of the American government is to

protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Yep. Yep. Yep. And

not a single Democrat stood up. No, yeah, some did.

Federman did. Um, well, okay, Federman, yeah, I think there

were. There may have been one or two others, but yeah, it

didn't look so good for them. That was one thing that I saw

out of this was Trump took a lot of shots at the Democrats

for not standing up supporting things that should be viewed as

good by everyone. Right. Um, it was, it was definitely, he

definitely used the state of the union for optics for leading

into the 2026 midterm elections, I believe. Right. So yeah,

but that was that was pretty pretty huge. Um, then there was, uh,

the for the first time ever in a state of the union, there were a

couple of, um, there were two congressional medals,

but middle of honors given out. Uh, uh, one for a fighter pilot

from Vietnam, from the Vietnam, from not from Vietnam, from the

Korean War. Okay. Um, he just hit a hundred years old and was

finally awarded the congressional medal of honor. Okay. Uh, his

plane got hit like 262 with 262 bullets in a dogfight that was

eight to two or eight to three or four. So, uh, yeah. Um, and then

the, uh, the co-starred, um, helicopter rescue guy that saved

like 156 people in the Texas flood. Uh-huh. He was awarded,

the, uh, he was awarded, which one was he awarded? Uh,

well, anyway, Legion of Merit. Yeah. He was awarded the Legion

of Merit for extraordinary heroism. Um, but yeah, no, I mean,

other than that, it was mostly just him talking about stuff that he's

done. Right. Right. Which of course, you know,

everybody's a lot of people are gonna say, well, that's not

good stuff or others are gonna say he's lying about all that.

Well, I would just say it's boring. We don't need to hear it. You know,

that's what I was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You talk too much. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, surprisingly, he didn't

talk that much in the state of the Union address. I thought it was

the longest one ever. It was the longest one ever, but that was

because he kept stopping for every, for all the applause that

he was getting from the Republicans. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Okay.

And the part that kind of drove me nuts was the, uh, the members of Congress

that would start chanting USA, USA, USA, USA, like what the fuck? You

know, that's fine in a sporting event. It's fine. It's fine. It rallies.

It has no place in a state of the Union address. It's just get it over and

done with people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. It's

yeah. But yeah. So that's basically the state of the Union

address in a, in a, in a, in a, uh, nutshell.

Nutshell. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I kept wanting to say

not roll. And I'm like, that's not it. That's not it. No. No. There we go.

There we go. Not roll. Uh, everything in a nut roll. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. We'll

go with that. No, the show title. Yeah. Uh, not roll.

Damn it. I've come up with you already. That's bad.

Okay. Okay. Uh, let's see here. Uh, uh, let's, let's not talk about that one.

Let's, let's get into the real stuff. I ran playing simple. Yeah. Um,

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We attack around playing simple. Um, yeah.

And, uh, the reasoning that Trump says is, well, it's

I ran. Look at what they've done. They've put the past 40, 50 years now.

Oh, yeah. And that was basically about his rationalization for it.

You know, it's, um, I think it's a good rationalization, personally.

Yeah. Um, I mean, 40 years of attempting to do it diplomatically.

Right. Right. Kind of tells you it ain't going to happen diplomatically.

That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. You know, how many times

are we going to ignore that they're using their proxies to do this or that?

And, or I know, yeah, themselves are doing this and that.

And all they're doing is destabilizing and have been for a long time, the entire region.

Yep. Uh, yeah. No, I, I, I see no problem with this one. Um,

the funny thing is I've seen, I've seen a lot of people saying, you know, we shouldn't

we shouldn't have attacked so, so quickly. It, it's, you know, he should have given

to both diplomacy a tie. It's time. It's chance. Yeah. No, I love that one.

40 fucking years of diplomacy has failed miserably.

No, exactly. 40 years of failure isn't, doesn't mean time to actually do something.

What the hell do you want? 150 years? Do we have to wait for 200?

Do we have to wait until the US is twice as old before we do something?

Exactly. You know, it was funny. It was like, uh, apparently while they were negotiating

in Geneva, right? It was like, uh, because the US is always basic said, stop your uranium

enrichment. Just stop it. Yeah. Stop going after the bomb. Just stop it. That's, you know,

all we want stop going after the bomb and we're good. And this is what we're saying for

how long now? Jesus Christ. 20, 30 years that I remember. Yeah, yeah, probably at least 30 years,

you know, it's, yeah. But basically, so in this whole thing, uh, the negotiator Iran, he goes

said that Iran has an alienable right to enrich uranium.

To which point Steve Whitkoff our, uh, negotiator, he said, well, the US has an

alienable right to stop you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, we have a, we have a,

an international treaty that says we have to stop you.

Exactly. Exactly. You know, and, and it's like, you have that, then you also have them just

causing so many problems, funding so much terror, funding so many things in the entire region.

Yeah. That you just, at some point, you just have to say that's enough. It's over. It's done.

Oh, yeah. You are worthless. You know, it's like, you're not like Korea. Korea, North Korea,

I think the way that they do it, you know, they have their little cyber war that they do a little

bit. But beyond that, they don't, well, they don't have the money to, but they don't try to start

shit outside of their area, you know, their country. And so to me, it's like their, uh,

nuclear threat or their nuclear capabilities, that came about because they saw that was the only

way to safeguard their regime, their country. Yes. Yeah. I read, they've been, they want to be

debt to America, they've been wanting to kill off Iran or Israel, like nobody's business.

You know, it's, you know, the second that they developed that nuke, it's going to be launched

to Israel. I mean, everyone knows this possibly. But you know, I also seriously don't know if they

were ever doing it. But they said they were. And you know, it's that sort of thing. It's like,

I don't know whether or not they were or not. I'm not going to, I'm not going to go that way. But

just like Saddam Hussein, Saddam Hussein, when, after, when we attacked him the second time,

before that, he goes, Oh, I have him. I have him. I have all the WMDs. I have all the WMDs. And then

that's what he was saying. And to the press and everything like that. And then we go in there.

And he didn't, you know, he may have moved them out. Wow. That's one of the theories. But he

didn't have it. I have, I have conspiracy theories about that one. Right. But in, in actuality,

what we actually found was nothing. You know what I mean? Yeah. We found residue,

right, where we thought that he had stored them. That's all that we found. Right. So we found

nothing. Yeah. So it's like, at one point, there was something there. Yes. It's not anymore.

But everybody knew that at one point, he had them because he was totally using them against the

curts and against Iran. You know, yeah. So everybody, everybody knew that he had them at some point.

Right. Right. It's just they weren't there when we thought they were there. Right. Right.

And so, you know, but you know, that's how I am. It's like, okay. So he was saying he had him. And so

I remember those things. I remember we always say, oh, there wasn't there. And so we had no

justification. You know, that's fine. And Danny, but I remember him going on TV and whatnot.

I remember him saying, I have him. And I'll use him against you. Yeah. You know, so it's like,

what can you do that? Just the threat of him of him having them and saying that he's going to

use him against us. It kind of justified action. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In a way. I'm not saying that we

should or not, but I don't think it should have been a regime changing action. Right. Right.

You know, it should have been a more targeted strike to eliminate anybody had. Yeah. I don't

think you know, that that's semantics. To me, the thing is whether or not regime change,

we shouldn't have been involved in trying to create that other regime. I think that democracy

building is a flawed idea that, yeah, the Neocons and Georgia Bush came up with that just,

it sucks. Yeah. Stupid. Yeah. Stupid thing. That's something that I mentioned to mom when I was talking

to her this week, and I'm like, you know, the one thing I like about the way Trump is doing this

with Iran, right? Is he said, okay, we took him out. Now it's your turn. Right. You guys need to

decide what form of government you're going to have. Yes. Yes. That is absolutely the way to do

it. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. It's not my job. It's just these people

are annoying me. So, well, I'm going to get rid of that guy. And then it's up to you guys to

decide if you want to return to the same or not, you know, it's up to the people. Yeah. And if

they decide not to rise up because they still haven't risen up, there's still a lot of threats

and stuff like that. A lot of them would still die if they did. But Trump said that the worst is

about to come. Yeah. Yeah. It hasn't even helped me. If they, if they decide that the three,

that the, it's what what now about 30,000 that they say are we're killed in the last protest?

I have. Yeah. That number that I heard that I heard thrown out. So I'll just go with that. So

but if they decide that the 30,000 was too many and that they don't want to go out and

protest again, then, well, you get what you deserve. No, I'm with you. I'm with you.

Yeah. To me, it's, yeah, when it comes to regime change, the people always have the government

that they want. Yes, not everybody, but the people in general because it was bad enough and

everything like that. Then technically, there'd be uprising playing simple. That's just the way

it is. Yeah. So that's how China is that if the people actually didn't like it or didn't want it,

they might not like it, but if they didn't want it, they would do something about it. You know,

playing simple. That's how I figure. But yeah, it's like with you, great or Iran. Yeah.

I don't know if they had or were doing anything with the, the bomb or anything like that,

but they kept saying they would and then, but beyond all that because Trump listed all the different

reasons. Why? And it all started with all the crap that they did, the Lebanon military base attack.

Hamas, you know, Hezbollah and everything like that. So it's like, yeah, it makes sense to me.

Yeah. Absolutely. And of course, as a result, yeah, I don't really understand this. I've seen

some people say that it's a sign that the Iranian government no longer has control of the military.

If they do, they're making some really bad stupid decisions. Do you mean like attacking everybody?

Yeah. You know, they claim that they're retaliating against US bases yet apartment buildings,

airports, you know, civilian airports, now an oil, an oil production facility in Qatar.

Well, they also hit, they're not targeting, they're barely targeting the bases at all.

So the, the jamin, what you have to actually ask yourself is, can they target bases? And they're just,

no, seriously? No, no, I know. Yeah. Do they actually have the capability to target military

bases? Or are they just flinging muscles all over the place? Well, they did, they did target one,

but they say it, but they, they're pretty sure it was drones this time around,

that killed three US service members and wounded a few more.

I know that their drones seem to be on point. Yeah. Like like the UK military base in Cyprus,

that was hit by a drone. But the missiles that were sent towards there never made it.

Yeah. So you know, it's like, do they even have the capability of their missiles actually

getting where they want it to be? See, that's the question, you know, that is a very good question.

They may not have fine-tuned targeting capabilities. They may just, because I mean,

you know, I know that they can launch them into Israel, because I've done that on numerous occasions,

but into Israel. But Israel's kind of large, and they're also hitting Jordan as well.

So, right, because they may not have, they may not have good targetings,

right? Because with, with Israel, all you have to do is get inside Israel. Don't get me wrong,

that takes a lot in and of itself, but you don't, it's not right. Actually, like going after

Mousad's headquarters or something like that, they have done that. All it, all it needs is just,

can it go that far? Right, right. So you just, all you need, so you attack Tel Aviv in general,

you know, it's like, so maybe there were bases around these other places that they tried to hit,

you know, just loving, you know, it's like, I think the one thing that I've seen since Trump,

like the Maduro and everything like that, yeah, the one thing I've noticed is that

we are so much more superior than pretty much everybody else on this planet when it comes to

military might. Oh, yeah. When we actually just use the military might, yes. Look at Ukraine.

Russia isn't a quagmire. Just, you know, they're moving along, they're not losing per se, but

it's a slow process that's kind of pathetic. It really is when you think about it. It really is, yeah.

Look at Maduro and everything like that. They had Chinese top grade defense systems, and we

easily blew through those without even a single casualty. Yeah. So with that, it's like,

and then when you consider every other time that we actually get in there, like when we actually

just use our might, you know, like Iraq, whatnot, it's always quick and it's over. It's that nation

building sticking around that we suck at. Yes. Yes. But when it comes to just winning a war,

which is all out, bam. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody else can need a elimination process. Yes. Very quickly.

Like a week at most. Yes. And we can target. We can target a house. We can target a net. You know,

that's what we can do. You know, apparently, with I read, I don't know if they can target anything.

I really don't see that's the thing. It's like, it's like, oh, isn't that cute. It's very well

could be that they can that they just set a distance and open prey. Yeah. Like a general

vicinity and then yeah. Okay. Go in that direction for this long. Right. Go this far. No. It's

seriously. Yeah. Hopefully it'll hit something over there. Well, our system is based off of GPS,

right? Yes. And not even like old GPS, which used to be the military grade. And now, no, no,

now we have like Starlink or whatever not Starlink itself with the defense department version of it.

That Elon Musk sells and everything like that. So we have that. We have like next gen GPS to

where it's like a foot, you know, that's how close that's how close you can get it. And so we have

all this stuff. And we don't give access to that to anybody else. Only our allies. You know,

yeah. So what can I random seriously? Think about it. If you really think about this, it's

it's just Trump is actually willing to use it. Yep. You know, it's like, that's it. He's willing

to use it. Everybody else, it seems like it's just stuck in 1950. I don't know what China has

or anything like that. Maybe they have more than what they're, what they're showing.

Um, it wouldn't surprise me, but a lot of their things have ended in failure. Yes.

So, you know, I've seen, I've seen some of their stuff that's supposed to compete with

hours and on paper, it will. Right. That's about it. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, I seriously wondered

that if I ran just can't, it's like, but with that, I had never thought about that. But yeah,

that's, that's actually very possible. When you know, the reason that the reason that I was

thinking the other way is because I ran hit somebody that they really didn't want to. Right.

Um, which country was it? Um, Oman or something like that? Uh, they, uh, they were very friendly

with Iran. They were helping them with the negotiations between the US and Iran and stuff like

that. They were brokering the negotiation. Right. Iran was getting along with them really well.

They were fighting for some things for Iran. Oh, yeah. And then Iran launched a couple of missiles

into their country. But did they, you know, I know it actually hit because they also hit that

girl's school. Yeah. They blamed us for all the girls dying, but it came out real quick.

No, that was a parent missile shot off by the Iranians. I hadn't heard of that that that was

that that was an Iranian missile. Yeah. Yeah. Let's come out that that was an Iranian missile.

Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah. I assumed as much because I know that that wouldn't be Israel's or our

target. You know, it's, it's, it's just like when Hamas shot something off and shot the hospital

and then they go, Oh, that was Israel. No, it's same playbook, same people, you know,

probably same PRP person, you know, it's, but yeah. So do they have the technology to actually do

anything? See, this is also makes me question. They may have been targeting Kuwait and

accidentally shot it over there or or or one of our boats or something like that ships whatever

you want. Yeah. Yeah. But all these, it really begs the question, could they even come close to

having a bomb? You know, it's like, well, you know, even if they could get there scientifically,

if they're targeting abilities and their missile capabilities. Right. Could they actually hit

anything? Exactly. Exactly. See, this is the thing, it's, would you really think about it? It's like,

Yeah. Now, now the, they're the one aspect about that that I would have concerns about.

If I ran did get the, the nuclear bomb, right, they may not put it onto missiles, but you can

get it, but I can guarantee that they'll give it to Hamas. They'll give it to Hezbollah. They'll

give it to, well, if they could, they'd have to somewhere else. Yeah, they'd have to get it out of

Iran. That'd be the, well, yeah, problem. Because usually they just supply like money and what not

to those organizations. Right. They get their stuff elsewhere. So, but I mean, if they got it,

that would be the most likely way that they would try to use it. Right. Is by giving it to the terrorist

groups that they sponsor. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, so sometimes it doesn't matter their

missile technology, even though, yeah, their missile technology. No, it really sucks. It really

does. And basically everything else, it's like, oh, the UN, they're going, oh, bad America. And

you're going, okay, you're ignoring everything Iran has ever done. Congratulations. Of course,

you're going to pick them because that's what you do because you're the, you're right. Yeah. You

love Iran. You love Muslims and everything like that. Everybody else can go suck it. You know,

that's how the UN treats everybody else. Yeah. So not a surprise there. Now, the sleeper cell

sort of thing here in the United States, that is a concern, especially after Austin. Yeah.

Because two guy shot up a six street, a place on six street down here, which is where all the

college kids hang out. It's our bar district in Austin. Yeah. And he shot it up wounded 14 killed

two. And then he died as well. So that's total of three people dead from what I understand.

Yep. And what I heard. Yeah. And he had what property of Allah shirt or hoodie. And then underneath

that was an Iranian flag t-shirt. Okay. So yeah. Yeah. We could have more

instances like that. Yeah. It is definitely a possibility. Yeah. Do you hear about Pakistan?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stupid idiots. It's a, I know.

You know, the thing that I'm reading that article, I couldn't quite determine if it was

the US Marines protecting the consulate or if it was the local authorities that killed the

22 people there. Okay. What it was, if nobody, if people don't know. So a consulate was there,

there were protesters at a US consulate in Pakistan. It was in, let's see, here we're exactly

in Karachi. And basically, there were some protesters. And then all of a sudden, the protesting

turned violent. They started to attack the building itself, the consulate. And then

they started to try to get into the consulate. And so our, so our Marines got on their big ass guns

up in the turrets and took out 22 of them and killed and wounded like 80 others, if not more. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was the only part that I didn't see in that story,

in that article was about who actually took them out. Was it the Marine or was it the local police?

Because the local police had also been, have also been dealing with all this shit everywhere else.

So right. Right. Right. Right. There's a lot more than 22 have been killed. But, you know,

I guess we killed 22. So that's, that's, I've seen 32, I've seen 22, the number of how

we killed, I really don't know exactly. Yeah. But yeah, we laid waste to a lot of people that were

trying to break in and damage the consulate. So, you know, and then some Marines job to actually

protect it. That is what they are actually paid to do. So it absolutely is. Yeah. So, yeah,

that's a freaking moron. Don't go up against Marines. I'm just saying, you know, no, no.

Of all the service members to go up against Marines would be my least favorite.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I agree. But basically any US military. Yeah. Just, uh, oh yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't, I definitely wouldn't want to go up against the army either.

No. No. Air Force. Oh, I'm totally dropped a bomb.

Depending on what kind of armaments they have there, you know, well, right.

I'm with you. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah. No, don't fuck with Navy either. No, no, they get some

pretty cool toys too. So it's, yeah, they do. Yeah. But yeah, it's, it's crazy out there right now.

You know, and it's not even that. It's, it's like, what, uh, some Americans on an American boat

decide to invade or whatnot, freaking Cuba. Like, I don't even know what they were doing.

And so they had a gun fight with Cuban authorities with Cuban border. Oh, shit. Yeah.

I haven't heard about that. Yeah. This was like last week. This was before everything that happened.

Oh, wow. And at least one of them was a US citizen.

Uh, but it was a US boat. And nobody really knows what they were doing. Um,

maybe another failed attempt by the CIA CIA, you know, like Bay of Pigs or something. Could be, uh, yeah.

But I have no clue. But yeah. So there's that as well.

Uh, and then you have, uh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Actually, they declared war on each other.

Seriously? Yes. Wow.

Because the Taliban, it does not like Pakistan, even though Pakistan has let them, no, absolutely, do whatever.

Well, we were there. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. No, it's crazy, dude.

The world is crazy right now. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Uh, uh, I think crazy things that I can think of here that we had, um,

Oh, with the Austin shooting, uh, this is kind of tech. But so,

ambulance was trying to get to the scene, right? Uh, in Austin, right?

Mm-hmm. And a fucking waymo blocks the ambulance.

Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's not a good look for a waymo. I must say. No, no. Yeah. Yeah.

It's not cool at all. Playing simple. It's, um, yeah.

Yeah. No. This is one of the issues that I have with all of the automated vehicle. Uh-huh.

Is that automated vehicles, the concept is okay. I don't know if it's good.

But in order to truly do automation correctly for inside a city,

you know, out in the, out in the interstates out on the freeways and stuff like that,

I got absolutely no problem with it. Right, right. They can drive just as safe as anything else.

But the number of decisions that a driver has to make inside a city

is multiplied by a hundred times. No, it is. Of course, it's driving down the interstate.

And some of those decisions are crap. I need to break a law so I can let

like ambulance or whatever through. I need to just do it. Absolutely. No. I just need to get

out of the fucking away. No matter what. Absolutely. You know, pull up onto the curb if you have to,

you know, as long as you're not going to hit anybody. Yeah. Anything. Yes.

Get out of the way. Yeah. Yes.

You go through a red light to open a space for a ambulance to get through.

I will do this. Yes. That's what you do. Play in the simple. Yeah. As long as it's

safe for you to do it, you do it. And you do it quick. It's possible. Yep. Yeah. Now,

the problem, the problem, so the problem with AI inside the city is each one individually

making a plan that's random. So I think that in order to fully do an inner city and

autonomous vehicle, you really need to have a network that can track the vehicles to control

the traffic flow to control the, you know, kind of like a kind of like the airline traffic

controls, where they can see where all of the vehicles are and they can say, okay, you need,

we've got an emergency vehicle approaching, you need to do this to get out of the way.

Right. Right. Right. And unfortunately, that's not something that can happen when you also have

live people driving cars in the same place. No, exactly. So autonomous vehicles will only really

thrive in a, in a major city, in every vehicle is autonomous and controlled by a traffic

close traffic control system. No. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Yeah. Otherwise, it's just,

just doesn't work. Yeah. But yeah, it's, so yeah, that was a, that's not going to,

that's not a good look for Waymo at all. No, no, as they're rushing to save lives, it's not a good

look at all. Oh, one other thing out of the Iran apparently looks like we hacked their TV signal

and we actually showed the Trump speech. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah. So, so the CIA or somebody,

they hacked their TV and it was the Trump with Persian subtitles. So, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Nice. Yeah. I thought that was kind of cool too. Yep. Well, let's see here. I guess on to

aliens, UFOs. Yeah. Right. So basically, some scientists or some professor, Dr. David Clark,

he's a lecturer at Sheffield Hallum University, wherever that is. But anyways, he looked into it,

into all the UFO documentation and everything like that, that the Air Force is given and all this

sort of thing, right? And he says, the real conspiracy is not that aliens have visited. It's

that the US Air Force have been pushing these stories for decades because it's a useful cover for

all their nefarious activities is what he said. So, okay. I buy it completely. Yes. I don't buy

that aliens have come. I really don't buy that one. I know it's it's it's far fetched. If aliens

were so technologically advanced and they were actually coming into our atmosphere, you know,

if it were like the Star Trek things where, you know, they sit in outer space in vehicles that

they're satellites that satellites the stuff can't be packed. Right. Then, you know, possible, you know,

if they have the idea that they don't want to interfere with with the with the advancement with

the natural advancement of the planet. So, so you're saying they're following the prime

directive as well. If that were if if there were truly aliens that were like that that

were just studying us, that is how they would probably do it. The fact that people the fact that

we see these quote unquote alien crafts in some places on kind of regular basis. I mean, if they're

that technologically advanced, they would have done something by now. Yeah, no, I yeah, I just

I've never been what it's like I've always said I guess possible. I guess. Yeah. But it's always

been my opinion. You know that it's probably the it's probably the Air Force testing new planes.

No, yeah, that or something else or some another agency doing something with drones like

like a new company doing something with drones or yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, no, it's yeah, I'm

one hundred percent. I don't know why he said nefarious activities because they might not be

nefarious. I'm just saying you don't always have to say everything is nefarious, but yes,

it's just they have secrets that they're trying to keep, you know, and so there you go, you know,

it's a yeah, there were a lot of UFO sightings that have later been attributed to the B2 bomber.

Oh, yeah, completely, completely, you know, you'll be up. Yeah, okay. So what's happening in the

States, Jane? What's happening in our states? Well, so in Virginia, you know, they're trying to do

their gerrymandering there, which is really, really kind of funny because just in 2020,

the Democrats pushed an amendment to the state constitution requiring them to

requiring any district changes to be done by a panel instead of by the government body. Right,

right. So now the government body has set up a gerrymandering that would eliminate, that would change

the the representatives from five from six to five to 10 to 10 and one, right, right, that they now

want to push through, but this requires that they get another constitutional amendment. Wow,

wow, so they actually found a way to stop it, more or less. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it is not

constitutionally allowed in the state of Virginia so they have they will have to find they will

have to do another constitutional amendment to undo what they did in 2040. Wow, yeah, sounds about

right. Sounds about right. Yeah, yeah, no, that whole gerrymandering thing. I I like that whole

thing, you know, they should keep it how that was and then let the system work its way through

and then everybody can get to that and, you know, and it's like with Texas, I think a lot of what

they're doing, they're just trying to even things up with against other states. So it's like,

why should republicans gerrymandering has been an existence for the benefit of the of the Democrat

party for a very long time? Well, right, right. And so, you know, it's like, why should

why should one state or one party play fair when the other doesn't? It just doesn't make sense. So

let's all just go that route and then, but I would love to see it if we just if they all do

apparently what Virginia had done in the past by the trying to get rid of now or like what Michigan

has done. Same same system, you know, where it's basically it's actually proportionate to what

the population is. Yeah, so yeah, no, it's, you know, and the reason that they that everyone's doing this

is they're saying it's because Texas is doing is doing that there's right in the middle of the century.

Mm-hmm. But what they never seem to remember is that the reason that Texas did there's

in the middle of the century, we was because you guys all took them to decade. Yes, sorry,

you're right, decade. Wow. Yeah, no, my mind is there. There's just a small difference between a

century and a decade. Yeah, it's just about 10. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a factor of 10. I mean, it's

that's not that much. But anyway, so yes, mid decade, but they keep forgetting that the reason that

Texas has to do it mid decade is because they did it at the beginning of the decade like everyone

else does reassigning their maps with the census. Uh-huh.

And the Democrats took at the court and the court said that it was racist so they had to redo it.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, how many how many times do you have to tell people that for them to wrap it

around their head that this is not like an ornate plan by Trump to change the the infrastructure

of the set of the of Congress. Well, Jayman, but Trump, but Trump, but Trump, I know, I know.

Well, and honestly, if Trump wouldn't have done the, we have Trump wouldn't have said that one

comment. Uh-huh. This never would have made the news, you know, that no one would care,

except Trump made the comment saying you should make it so that Democrats lose seats when you do

your redistricting. Well, Trump, he just says what's on his mind. And I think he loves to piss off

his opponents. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. So yeah. But if he hadn't said that, nobody would give a

shit that that Texas was redistricting and they wouldn't. They wouldn't. Yep.

Yeah, no. It's crazy. It's crazy. It is. Oh, uh, we forgot to mention that Kuwait shot

down some of our planes. Yeah. They shot down like three of our planes. Uh, they thought they were

Iranian planes because they were just F 15s. They weren't even like the new ones. So. Okay.

Why don't we still use an F 15s and I have no clue, dude. I have no clue. Uh, yeah. Really old.

They really are. They really are. But yeah, the F 15s three of them were shot down. Nobody died in

that. Um, I think four people have died. Okay. In Operation Epic Fury. I love that. That

David's just hilarious. Oh, yeah. Just say it is. Um, yeah. If you're worried. But

yeah, no, it is just pure craziness out there right now. But yeah, I just wanted to put that.

There's so much to what's going on in Iran that it's hard to remember at all. Yep. Uh, but

to continue the state thing and whatnot. Uh, so there's been the Democrats aren't really

looking good when it comes to race. Um, peaceful. You remember that new something, uh, where he said

uh, he's just like black people because he's dumb too. Uh, that sort of thing basically. Um, well,

somebody made a good point. Uh, and you know, it is what it is. It's the Democrats have

for so long. They, they, they really think that black people are dumb. They really have this idea

that they, and they always like, and it's why they think that, uh, they can't get ideas. It's why

they think they can't do anything, you know, it's like they need the government to help them out

with everything. And so it's just part of that whole thing, the low IQ, uh, sort of thing. Yeah. So

yeah, uh, just because Newsom is dumb, doesn't mean black people are dumb. I'm just saying, you know,

yeah, yeah, no, there's, there are a lot of very smart black people out there. Yes, yes, yes,

and uh, they've done a lot more very dumb white people out there. Yeah, yeah, there are. There

is an even more, you know, and even more percentage wise dumb politicians, just, yeah, absolutely.

Let's see here. And then, uh, I can't remember who it was, but let's see here. Let me see if I

could see. So this is one lady. She's a rub. Um, let me just pull it up here. Uh, Maxine Dexter,

whoever she is, uh, she's a Democrat. And she said that, uh,

that whole milk, because she doesn't like RFK, right? And so she says that RFK wanting to put white

milk in schools is racist. Uh, she said, what? She said that we should ask science-based

regiments not whole milk white supremacy dogwistling. So apparently whole milk is racist now.

Oh, wow. Right? Right? Yeah. Yeah. It is. It's just so stupid. It's like, are you fucking

kidding me people? You know, it's like, uh, so white milk now is a dogwistling. Okay. Sure.

Well, that reminds me of something I saw on YouTube. Uh, there was a, uh, thing talking about it was

proving racism. Right. Okay. So two big killers in the seats.

You have the black killer whale. Uh-huh. And you have the

great white whale. Great white charge. Uh-huh. And that proves racism.

Because the black one is called killer, but the white one is called great.

Okay. Sure. Sure. Let's, uh, I guess it is. Black killer whale.

Don't you just say killer whale? I, I, yes. Well, no, they weren't saying that it was the,

that black was in the name. They were saying that the one that you say killer happens to be black

and the one that you say great happens to be white. Well, it couldn't. And then proves,

that proves racism. So we shouldn't call the killer whale a killer anymore.

But whales don't kill in general. So that is the only whale that actively hunts and kills.

Well, no dolphins do too. They're, they're more related to the Orca than actually whales.

Uh, because the killer whale technically, it's a, it's an Orca. It's, it's, it's a, like, a cousin of the dolphin.

It's, it's not really related to the blue whale or anything like that. You know, so they just

call it a whale because of how large it is. Correct. Correct. So yeah, no, and then, but it's the one

that really kills like a lot, you know, dolphins. Yes. All of them will murder. Uh, Orcas and dolphins

are very smart and they actually murder each other sometimes and everything like that. Oh,

absolutely. Yeah. Pretty close to us intelligent wise. Yeah. Uh, so, so, but the Orca really gets

out there and kills things, right? So that's why it's concerned. And we see it. We can see it from

land. Yes. Right. Because they go up to shore and they grab a seal. They'll, they'll, they'll

they'll they'll near beach themselves to get a seal. They will, but they can get off because they're

not, they're not too big. Right. But then, so, so there's that. So that's why we call that killer

because whales generally don't do that. Calling a great white shark killer is pointless because

all sharks basically kill, except for like the nurse shark or what that, you know, yeah, yeah,

basically every other one kills. So I don't, I, yeah, no. I just, I, I found it so hilarious.

That is hilarious. It's always something, right? It's, uh,

yep, always freaking something. Right? It's, uh, we're all racist, you know, that, right? You know,

everybody is, you know, so yeah, yep, yep, yep. Okay. It looks like we have to talk about

quickly about Iran again. Uh, what, what's this one that you have? Yeah. Well, did you hear

mom Donnie's statement regarding Iran? I did not hear it. The war on Iran? No. Okay. Well,

essentially, he has come out in support of Iran and he is very antagonistic against Trump and

US government for doing what they've done. And then he went to go, went and said something to the

effect of don't worry here in New York, we will protect the Iranians. Uh-huh. But the thing that he

didn't say or that maybe he doesn't know, right? Is that 99% of the Iranians in New York were

celebrating? Well, in the US, not just New York. Yeah. Well, I know, I'm saying New York because he

is the mayor of New York and he's saying that New York is going to protect the Iranians from Trump.

Yeah. 99% of the Iranians in New York are celebrating what Trump did. Have you seen those crowds

in the war with Trump? Oh, yeah. With Trump. This, that it's all in the country. All these

Persians. It's over the world. No, it is. It is. You know, it's, uh, yeah. I saw this one. Uh,

it was a reporter. Apparently, he was about to report on one of those protests, uh, praising

Trump and everything like that. And apparently, he got word from, uh, he was CBS reporter.

Apparently, he got word back from the control room. Uh, let's not do this one because, well,

we don't want to show, uh, good things for Trump, basically, is what it was.

Yeah. Yeah. They'll pick those two Iranians out there, uh, who go, oh, fuck Trump. Yeah,

you know, yeah. And then the rest of them, uh, that don't live in Iran are like, oh, yeah.

So many are saying, bring back the shaw and everything like that. I don't know about that,

but you know, you, you could decide that for yourselves. Yeah. I mean, that's up to Iran to

determine what kind of government they want to have. Yeah. They want to bring that back to

shaw, then that is their absolute right to do so. Yeah. Yep. Uh, yeah. It's just crazy. Yeah.

Uh, so, uh, we're, we're just concerned about flights. Uh, we don't know because flights might

get crazy. And in, yeah, less than two weeks, uh, we're flying off to Kenya. So,

oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see how that goes. If I don't make it back, you'll know why, you know,

it's, uh, yes indeed. Yeah. Uh, let's see here. There's, there's tariff stuff with that,

like, well, news, I'm not even going to talk about it anymore. Who cares? You know, it's, uh,

you know, Trump went, wow, wow, and I'm like, well, you chose a battle and you lost. So,

there you go. Uh, let's see here. National news. Uh, I'll get mine out of the way since it's

just kind of a fluff story. Sounds good. So you remember, yeah, I saw an article that just made

me reminisce growing up in Minnesota so much. Uh-huh. Do you remember in Minnesota how the

berry queen is not open year round? Right, right. They close October-ish and they open up March

first. Well, ice cream wind is below zero out there. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

But then again, you know, we also put ice in our water in the middle of December when it's

30 degrees below zero outside. So, you know, it's not like we do a lot of things that make sense

anyway. Well, there's that. There's that. But so I saw this article that, uh, in more

head Minnesota, uh-huh. It's a vintage berry queen. Okay. And the town tradition,

it, they had 1200 customers show up to the dairy queen. Nice. In full winter gear on March

first to celebrate the opening of dairy queen. Uh-huh. I had completely forgot about dairy queen

not being open 24-7 everywhere. Yeah. Because you know, and here it is. Right, right, right.

Well, not 24-7, 360. Well, yeah, about 360. Yeah. Yeah. They take a few days off, but yeah,

it's not 24 hours a day. Right, right, right, right. They're, they're closed at night. So, but, uh,

you know what I mean, they're open pretty much here. They are. They are. They are. Yeah. It's, uh,

yeah, no, that is definitely a Minnesota thing. That is definitely a Minnesota thing. Yeah,

just the nostalgia. I'm like, yeah, I got it. I got to talk about that because I like that. You

know, I like having, especially ice cream stores. It doesn't make sense for an ice cream store to be

open in Minnesota in the middle of the winter. It really doesn't. It really doesn't.

Down here, maybe because I mean, even in the middle of winter, we're hitting 40, 50, 60. Right,

right. Hit 70, not too long ago. You know, we're in February. So we're in the 80s here. So, you know,

it's a well above average year, even. So 60s now. But, uh, this last weekend, we went up to Michigan

for my daughter's birthday. She wanted to go to Michigan. So we went up there, spent time with

friends and some family. Okay. And it's snowed there, actually. It's snowed Saturday night.

Uh, got a good night. Two, three inches of snow. Nice. And Aiden and Zoe went out to play

in it. Aiden got completely bundled up in snow pants, jacket, anything like that. Right.

And he came in real quick. He's good. And meanwhile, Zoe, she put on a winter jacket and gloves.

But she was wearing shorts. And she went out there. Now that is the sign of a true Northern.

Yes. Yes. And she stayed out there like a long, long time. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was hilarious.

It was like, we asked Aiden. We go. So because he's been, they both said that they want to move

back to Michigan. Right. Right. So we asked Aiden. So you want to move back to Michigan? I think it's

no. He learned early. Fuck this now. Well, he was like three when we moved down here. So he

really does remember. Yeah. Cold. Well, no. And that's, that's one thing that, you know, that I

have noticed as well is that the longer you're up there, the more you're in the cold, the more you

can adapt to it, the more your body builds resistance to it. Yep. And so, you know, Zoe,

she's old enough to have built up that resistance. Yeah. Right. And not quite so much.

Well, no, she, she, she, there's something about her body that it doesn't mind the cold.

Even more so than no and everything. There's just, while we're up there, like when we lived up

there, she was going outside and just like a t-shirt and whatnot out of the snow and everything

like that. And she was having a blast staying out there for, wow, an hour or whatnot.

Wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, I don't know if I would have ever done that in the t-shirt.

No. No. That's the thing. My jacket when I go out. But yeah, if it's like even, even negative,

even negative numbers, I have no problems going out in shorts. My legs never get cold.

Right. Right. But yeah, she, she upper body, very cold. My feet, very cold. Right. My legs perfectly

fine. But yeah, so Zoe is a different factor in that. But yeah, she still wants to move up there.

Move back. Okay. So once she turns 18, I think she's moving up north is what I am thinking.

That would definitely be a good thing. I miss the north. I do. Oh, yeah.

Mel. So do I. So do I. The summer. But more so for the summer than the winters. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Now by far. Oh, let's see here. Uh, let's see. Oh, more craziness in the world.

Shouveling. No, I don't. I saw some suckers doing that. That was funny.

But speaking of craziness around the world, apparently there was some more craziness.

Uh, an American Airlines jet landed in Miami from Columbia. And it had bullet holes in it.

In the wing. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. Craziness. Wow. The world is crazy, dude.

The world is crazy. It is. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, and then another crazy one. A guy in Virginia decided to take a cleaver to his family.

Killed his wife. Killed his daughter. Uh, his son-in-law heard screaming. He went in there.

And he was killed as well. Uh, and he was still being stabbed as the police came in.

And he, the guy would not stop stabbing him. So the police shot him and killed him.

Um, so yeah. Yeah. Nobody knows why he was in his 50s.

Uh, it just goes to show that when there's mental problems, it doesn't matter what the weapon is.

Start going to find a way. Yeah. Yeah. The blade was 10 inches long. Uh, it's a nasty looking thing too.

It's, uh, that's a big flavor. It is. It really is. Uh, so yeah. Pure craziness. Uh, there was a baby. Uh, that was not wounded. Uh, so good. Okay.

Now it's in protective custody custody, of course. Um, yeah. But yeah. So craziness all over the place.

You know, so yeah. Absolutely. Uh, some of these I won't cover. I kind of tired of the whole source thing. Yeah.

And then, uh, I think that's it for national. So do we have anything non-Iranian or international?

I don't, but you have a few, uh, the Mexican president.

Oh, yeah. Uh, Elon Musk, or the Mexican president said, like, oh, yeah, uh, we're going to stop this out.

And, uh, Elon Musk is going, really? You sure about that? Didn't you just say that, uh, you couldn't do

anything about the cartels? Just saying. And so now the Mexican, Mexican president, she's like,

going, um, I'm going to see if we can do some legal action against him. But, uh, I don't know,

I don't know what they could really do. Um, because unless if it's in the courts down there,

but it's against a personal person. So, and he's, he's probably been to Mexico, but I'm not sure

if there's anything they can do about that. Um, except for blocking him from coming into Mexico, but

well, they could, they could wait until, uh, they could wait until the Democrats take control again,

then they might, they might allow them to be expedited. Yeah, for what the basically that's the thing.

I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't think there's anything there. I don't think there's anything there.

But would the Democrats care what he was being expedited? No, there's that. They just want to get rid of Musk.

They do, but I'm not sure if they would because he's, what he does for the government, you know,

he's a magic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Screwed dozer, whatever. Like that. Just, uh, he has so many

contracts with the government. It's crazy. Uh, let's see here. Oh, and that Mexican cartel leader,

he was, uh, apparently it was like a romantic partner or something like that or a sister of a romantic

partner, basically turned them in. Uh, so that's what they got to him. Um, and it looks like, uh, you

know, all those rape gangs over in, uh, the UK. Yeah. Uh, apparently there's reports that some

police officers were actually helping help to traffic these girls.

So, yeah, I, I hate to say I'm, I hate, I hate to be able to say that I'm not really shocked about

that in the UK though. Well, I, there's always corrupt cops. That's how I, well, no, the reason,

the reason that I'm not shocked about that is because of a story that I read a long time ago.

I mean, like, back towards the beginning of all of this, uh, where there was a, um, a high school

student that, that beat up a immigrant, one of, one of the immigrants there that was going to

school with them. I mean, the reason I need to build them up, beat them up is because this was

then the height of the rape gangs and the guy said, we're going to rape your sister and your mom.

Oh, Jesus. Okay. Yeah. Uh, I'd beat the fucking crap bottom too. Right, right, right.

And the police, they got word that the Muslim people that, that a large group of Muslims were

heading towards his house. Mm-hmm.

So the, the police came to get him out of there in a safety. Right. And the place that the police

took him to was a very little rundown hotel directly in the middle of four,

um, of four Muslim. Oh, yeah. That does sound familiar. Yeah. Yeah. They were just going to

take him there and just drop him off and leave him. Wow. In the middle of the Muslim controlled area.

Jesus. Yeah. So this doesn't surprise me at all. The police are definitely involved.

Yeah. Yeah. Some of them at least I won't say all of them of course, but yeah. No, it's completely messed

up. Well, and the police were ordered to take him there by the, by the city council right

wherever they call it. Uh, the, um, yeah, I know what you mean, the council or something like that

council. Yep. Uh, that's the thing. Yeah. Okay. Huh. Interesting. Interesting. Yeah. It's, so, yeah,

I'm not shocked by this, by this story at all. No. Yeah. Yeah. It's just disgusting. Completely

disgusting. It is. Um, uh, but you know what's not disgusting is you know supporting this podcast

because we bring you some good stuff and it's a wide and varied amount of stuff that we would,

uh, that we cover. We don't just cover one thing, you know, we cover many things, you know,

I think that's the benefit of us, you know. And so with that, we could actually, we are asking

for your help, you know, help us actually support the show. Uh, you can be a producer of the show

even. Uh, give us whatever you can. Uh, we are a value for value. So if you get any value out of

this, if you laugh, if you chuckle, if you cry, whatever, and it's all those feelings,

even if you hate us, but if you want to keep us going, please help us out. You can donate to us

at our website minus me earrings.com and then just follow the support link. Uh, or you could also,

in the show description of each episode, there is a link there to help support us as well.

And if you support us, uh, you can actually be a producer of the show and you can write a little

thing. And I will read it online. And if you, uh, over the air, if you want us to, well, not air,

but you know, through the digital pipelines that we have, uh, help us out any which way you can,

if you have ideas for the show articles that we may miss, please email them to me or jamin,

me at jessie at minus c.com and jamin at minus meandering.com. Anything you can do would help, uh,

greatly. And we would truly appreciate it. Uh, yeah, well, we're actually doing better. Our

numbers, uh, for who's listening, keep getting better and better. So let's keep it up.

Absolutely. And I want to business. Yeah. So Instagram has, is now doing.

Instagram is now doing something pretty cool. Uh-huh. Uh, for, you know, they, with, they,

they have the parental aspects now where parents can get notified about stuff that their kids

are doing on, on Instagram. Right. And the big one that they're doing is if they're, if a teenager

searches for suicide or self-arm or anything, and any kind of content related to those two,

the parents are going to get notified. Oh, okay. Okay.

That's cool. Until the kids, uh, set up, uh, uh, their own that, uh,

maybe there's about, I mean, there's always ways around it. But as long as, as long as they have

the ones, as long as it's linked to, as a child count through their parents account, the parent

will get notified. No, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense. Yeah. You know, that really brings

up, uh, Zuckerberg's fix for, uh, child safety. Uh, so, okay. Basically, because he, he's in a court

case, right? Right? Uh, they're suing it for making, uh, uh, social media addictive and everything

like that. And he goes, okay, well, if you want child safety, there's an easy fix for that.

Digital ID, play in simple, you ask for everybody's ID, you get a digital ID, and you just stop

the anonymous internet for everybody. Just no more anonymity, uh, on the internet. And you know

something, it's like, it is true. That's the only way to fix it. And it is. Yeah. And I really don't

care, uh, personally, I don't, I know there's privacy in this. Oh, and it would be a change. Don't

get me wrong. There's, there'd be pushback and everything like that. But in essence, it would price

help a lot. It would also stop trolls. It would do a lot. Yeah. I, I personally am in favor of getting

rid of anonymity on the internet. Right. Right. Because anonymity makes people feel involved and

do bad things. Right. Right. To say stupid shit and everything like that. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So I have no problems with getting rid of anonymity on the online. As long as we still have

our constitutionally protected freedom of speech and everything else. Yeah. I mean, if we go out

into the public and start shouting stuff, people are going to know who we are.

Right. Why the hell should I be able to go online and shout stuff and have nobody know who I am?

No, I'm with you. I'm with you. Yeah. So yeah, it would change to the internet. It would really change

it. Oh, big time. Yeah. But, uh, I don't see. Okay. Yeah. I, I, well, you know, the biggest change

it would make, I believe, is that the troll farmer, the troll farms, you know, with the, where they've

got like a hundred and a hundred to 200 people that have worked for them that get paid the most good

stuff or bad stuff about people. That would disappear. Bot farming would disappear. You know,

you wouldn't have the, the bots doing making all these comments is because somebody paid someone

to program them to do that. So yeah, it would, it would very much so benefit the, the social media

aspect, but also just life in general on the internet. Yeah, because you're, you're, you're,

you can be somewhat anonymous, but not like completely anonymous, you know, that's, uh, yeah.

It's just like, well, you know, it's like, oh, okay, my name is Joe Smith.

But do you know which Joe Smith to you? I am. No, you don't. Exactly. Exactly.

You know, it's, uh, yeah, it's like, there's other Jesse frances out there. And, you know, my name,

you know, that's, yes, I don't think everybody's going to know who I am. If I do, if I say something

stupid on the, on the internet, exactly. Ham and fries, plain simple. Yeah.

You know, I should, I should make that my new username on all my social media that I never

use. You know, it's not bad. Ham and fries. Come on. No, it's not. Yeah.

Oh, I love it. I will have to do that. You know, there could be another short title. Just say it.

Yeah. It could be. I'll start using that in all my games, too. Yeah. Okay. What else we got?

Then we have, uh, um, the story that both of us have, uh, Netflix is no longer going to be

acquiring Warner Brothers. Yeah, no, they aren't, but they're, they're making out pretty good.

Just saying, oh, they are. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, not only that, but I also read one of the reasons

that they decided not to buy it is because after they announced the purchase, they're dropped,

their stocks dropped like 20, some percent, I think. Right, right, right. And then after announcing

that they weren't going to buy it anymore, they went back up. No, they dropped 30% since announcing

the acquisition. Right. And now that they've said we're not buying it, it's jumped 14. Yep,

yep. So they've recovered, so they've recovered half of that loss just by announcing that we're

not thinking about buying it. So the Shaler holders did not want Netflix to get involved in. No,

plus I get a free two point whatever billion dollar break. Yeah, two point eight million break.

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, they're making out like bandits just saying, oh, they are absolutely paramount.

They're just, uh, we're skydance, whatever you want to call it. Uh, they, they, they're just on a

buying frenzy, you know, it's, uh, yeah. I don't know what this will really do. I really don't,

I don't know if it'll affect me at all. Prices will go up, of course, because they always do.

Uh, but I think they were going to go up no matter what anyways. So, oh, yeah. Yeah. So the,

the only real impact that I've seen people complain about will would be that CNN is going to have

conservative political pressure on it now. Well, they, oh, they have for a while. They, they,

they, they, they, they, they went so far left there for a while, but they've actually come back

pretty center more or less. Uh, so yeah, I don't see as long as you can also want more than one

differently, because I think the reason why they want CBS, uh, to be more right is because all out

of actually the network news is they're all the same. There's not one that is a conservative,

you know, so it would make sense for actual over the air to have one more conservative,

one more liberal and one more moderate. It really would. It would actually differentiate them.

And you could actually get bigger audiences for everybody. Yep. I would think so. Yeah.

Or, you know, I would prefer they all just to be neutral as news used to be. No, it never was.

It never was. See, that's a lie. In a way. No, it was never, never was it neutral. Not ever.

It's always been. Newspapers evolved from the 18th century, the whatever Republican, uh,

the Toledo Democrat, you know, yeah, just, yeah. Newspapers. Yeah. But that was the news of the time.

Right. I'm talking specifically TV though. For, for a long time, that I can remember, for early on,

that I can remember, um, before national news became something huge, uh, where it was more

just local news. Right. You would, you know, you'd have parted here some national news. You'd hear

about the politics and stuff like that. But it was more just reading from the AP, which at that time

was just the straight back. This happened at this time on this day. Now the AP has also gone

political as well. So it's no longer like that. But see, I, you know, I don't know. It's just maybe

that's the way we remember it. But it never was that, you know, because we were never, we were young

and stupid and we didn't know what was going on in the world. So you know, it's like, your childhood

is always, it always has a sense of, uh, perfectness, right? Especially when you look back at

on it, you know, so I don't know if it's that or what I really don't. Um, now it could just be that

they didn't have the vitriol that they have now. Now, now that I will give you that because nobody

talked about Reagan, the way that they talked about Trump. No, no, no, no, no, no.

And if the, if the situation, if Reagan were in office right now, they would be doing the same

thing to Reagan that they do to Trump. Oh, completely. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They were doing it

to a bush. His, his, his, his, uh, bring down that wall statement would have gotten so much hate.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, I'm with you. I'm with you on that one. That, that one, I'll give you. I'll

give you that one. I'll give you that one. Uh, let's see here. Oh, and then you have one more

business one. Yeah. So this one is, this one made me think a lot. So it's about anthropic versus

the Pentagon, you know, um, anthropic saying that they're, that the Pentagon wanted them to

be able to use their programs for spying on citizens as well as automated weapon systems.

And they're saying that horrible stuff. So now that I'm not so sure about the spying on citizens

because I mean, the, the Pentagon's response was that we were asking anthropic to do,

you know, we, we don't want to drop it to be able to place limitations on how we use their

systems. Right. We will use things within the legal parameters of what we're allowed to do. Uh-huh.

Which, I mean, that kind of rules out spying on citizens for the most part. It's especially the

mass spying on citizens. Uh, correct. Unlike that. Uh, what was it? The flick or whatever? Uh, the dog. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. And so the, so I, I don't really believe that that was actually a problem. Uh-huh. Because

when Google came in, the US had no problem, the government, the federal, the, uh, the board

department had no problem signing a contract with them that said we will not use your systems to

mass spying on civilians. Uh-huh. Right. So I'm not so sure that anthropic really wasn't

with that the tropic even thought that they were going to do that. I mean, the Pentagon has never come

out and said, you know, they've never acknowledged or denied the claim. So that usually only happens when

it's not really a thing. Right. Right. If they were doing it, they would come out declaring we've

never done that. We wouldn't do something like that. They do it all the time. I mean, if they,

if they say they're not doing it, it means that they probably are. Right. Right. But if they say

nothing about it and just don't respond, that usually means that there's a little more to the

story than what then is being told. Uh-huh. Yep. Yep. But as far as the automated weapons system,

that's the one that I really focused on. Uh-huh. And so, you know, they say that they don't want to,

they don't want it in an autonomous weapon system to be able to, um, to track and target its

targets without human intervention. Uh-huh.

Um, what about the anti-missile guns on aircraft carriers, right?

Or any Navy ship. Yep. Yep. Do you want a human to have to control those guns?

Uh-huh. Yeah. No, I want that as she had automated. Right.

I want air missile defense systems automated. If it could be better than what we can do, hell yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I want, I want AI to target the missiles that are going towards me or my friends

to shoot them out of the sky because they're going to target a hell of a lot better than a person's

going to. They will. They will. They will. Just say it. Uh-huh. So yeah, no, I, I'm, I am fully in

supportive of, of fully autonomous weapons systems for base defense or something like that.

As long as there's always a kill switch because you have to have a kill switch. Well, yeah,

yeah, you got to have a kill switch. But yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I'm with you. I am completely with you.

You know, it's like we don't want to sky net, but we also want to use all this to the best of

its ability. And we don't want drawn drones to be able to just launch missiles willy-nill.

Right. We want the human controlling the button to print to launch the missile.

Completely. And you know what my thing is is the anthropic.

Now they come out doing this, but dude, you went into business with the DOD. What the fuck did you

think they were going to do with it? Seriously? Did you think they were just going to do data sets

and analyze this and analyze that? You really? Are you stupid? Maybe you should have used the AI

to actually figure out what they might want to use it for. You know, I'm just saying.

Well, the funny thing about this is how much money anthropic is making now that they've made

this end against the government. Well, right. Right. No, of course. This is all just for profit.

Oh, I don't actually give a shit about any of it. It's all purely for profit.

I would doubt it. Either way, it's just all stupid. It's like, yeah, maybe they realize that the AI

crashes coming soon. And so now they're trying to make what money they can from it. You know, it's

probably. Yeah. No, it's, but Suicy, what did you think was going to happen? Are you? Yeah,

you went into business with the Department of Defense, which has always really been a department

of war as they changed the need to. Yeah, the Congress does not acknowledge.

Yeah, I don't know, but it's just all craziness. What do you think was going to happen?

I yeah, that they're going to use it to draw pictures of bunnies. I swear to God, these people. Yeah.

Oh, but you know, something that's also stupid is studies. You know, because if you remember,

there was a study that we had that said that 50% or more of all studies were actually wrong.

But it was a study that said that. And so if it was a study that said most studies are wrong,

can we even believe that study? Well, you know, I finally ran across a correcting study.

Oh, wow, wow, that's crazy. You remember a long time ago, there were so many studies about how

eggs were horrible. You shouldn't eat eggs. Uh-huh. Or if you're going to eat eggs, only eat the

white of eggs because the white controls the HDL and the and the yolk has the LDL.

Correct, correct. Well, the latest study now says that if you really want to be healthy,

eat eggs and eat the whole egg. Imagine that. Imagine that. You know, it's even because healthier.

Uh-huh. Yeah, because what they found is that high LDL and high HDL is not that big of a concern.

It's more about the balance between the two. Okay. In the blood. Okay.

But also, there's a there's two things in the yolk.

Uh-huh. We pull the story up here real good. You know, but here, um,

lutein and the accentin. Mm-hmm. What they do is they make it so that cholesterol is less sticky

in the blood. Huh. Okay. Which means that even if you have a higher count,

right, it is less likely to stick to the arteries. So what you're telling me is I need to eat more

eggs. That's what you're telling me. Yes. Okay. Okay. I will eat more eggs. Eat more chicken.

Yeah. I mean, because you know, that they they did this study. It was, uh, uh,

142 countries. They they they did studies with, you know, there have been always been a lot of

studies about eggs. And these guys went through and they collected all those studies and did a

study with those studies and they found out, hey, you know, eggs are really kind of good

for you. Uh, our grandmother must be spinning in her grave right now. So I'll say,

yeah, because she she completely stopped eating eggs because of the original study about

cholesterol. Yeah. And so she didn't never ate and she never ate an egg again for the rest of her

life. That was like in the 70s, too, wasn't it? Yeah. It was. So it was all the way up until

the 70s or early 80s, something like that. Yeah. All the way up to like 2015 or whatever. Yeah.

Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. We're 2016. I care. I remember which one. But yeah, it's just stupid.

It's like, um, all these studies, you see, as we always say, you should just

just eat what you want. That's what I say. You know, if you like it, you know, it's,

I don't know what more to say on that one. You know, it's, uh, yeah. That's all I got to say.

Oh, uh, no, no, no, no, there's a study here. Uh, I just I had pull up study, fine stock.

And since you didn't have any other studies, but so, uh, this is a, it falls into the, uh,

situation. Apparently the more you football you played, the greater your risk of memory and mood

problems. Can you believe that? Concussions are bad for you folks. Yeah. No, I never got hit in the

head playing as a lineman. Never. If you play football, you get hit in that. It's just what it is.

Yeah. Yeah. Every little jostle, you know, it's, uh, you know, so yeah. Yeah. The more you

learn, lineman is lineman is probably the safest position to play. I can see that. I can see

that because they don't have, they can't build up steam before they get. Correct. Correct.

Correct. Yeah. And it's hard to take you down because of your huge. So, you know, it's, uh,

well, there is that too. Well, lineman, yeah, they're just huge people. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, and this is like at all levels of, uh, play. So, uh, uh, flag to whatever, you

know, I mean, not so much flag, but high school players definitely and everything like that. So it's, uh,

so yeah, football, uh, great game. Keep playing. I love it. Absolutely. But, uh, maybe they should pay

more. So, uh, mental health. Oh, yes. Yes. Not so good for that. Not so good for that at all.

Yeah. Yeah. Then this one I put into science, but it's kind of a study as well.

So it has been found that three tablespoons of peanut butter a day. Okay. Helps people that are

elderly, 50 plus. Huh. Okay. Because what it does is according to them, they found that peanut

butter helps with muscle control, uh, not necessarily muscle building. But one of the biggest

reasons for falls as you get over 50 is because you stumble a lot more. You don't have as fine

tuned control of your legs anymore. Uh-huh. And I, I can see that when dads walking around from time

to time, uh, I myself have lost my balance from time to time. I always correct it. But right.

So peanut butter helps you retain the, the muscle control to make you more stable in your walking.

So that suggests three tablespoons or three tablespoons of butter and peanut butter a day

to make sure that, uh, that you don't lose to help you with your stability issues.

That is cool. That is cool. Yeah. And it says despite eating around 250 extra calories a day,

the peanut butter group participants gain no weight. Yeah. So you can eat those three tablespoons,

up and above your, up above your normal, normal diet. Yeah. Huh. That is interesting.

Uh, it really is. But you'll just be talking this out. Yeah. Yeah. You'll have to get that gummy

feeling out of your mouth for a, for a little while. But, uh, let's see here, speaking of health

and everything like that. Uh, so, you know, chat GPT, they did this thing where it's supposed to,

it's like a chatbot that helps you with your health and everything like that. Uh, to, yeah.

Basically, you know, if you have issues and everything like that,

apparently it's only good for like moderate health concerns. Uh, if you have like, if they're like

barely non-existent, they'll just say, oh, you're fine. Don't worry about it. And then if it's,

uh, like, like emergency, uh, it's just as bad as it on the other. Because sometimes it's, uh,

told people, oh, yeah, no, don't worry. You're still breathing a bit. You're fine. You don't need

to go to the hospital, you know. Don't worry. You've only lost two liters of blood. You've

got more that you can lose in the story. It said the system acknowledged that the patient was showing

early signs of respiratory failure, but still recommended waiting instead of seeking emergency care.

So it performs well in medium severity cases, but, uh, low severity and high, it is not good with

apparently. So, yeah, yeah. So they need to perfect that. I'm not saying this going into the

future is just right now. Don't trust it too much. Just, yeah, just, yeah. Absolutely.

All right. And then on T technology. Mm-hmm. So continuing the AI thing, uh, kind of interesting.

AI, they've recently started testing AI for, um, time of death results in autopsies. Oh, okay.

Yeah. And they did this by taking blood samples from old cases where they know the time of death,

very gross, uh-huh. And, and asking AI to determine what the time of death was. Mm-hmm.

Now, the reason that the way that they know what the time of death is because, is because, you know,

video evidence and stuff like that, they were able to track to the, like, to within an hour of

when this person actually died, not because of the normal time of death results. Right.

From an autopsy. Because in the, the normal time of death autopsy result,

is testing the amount of potassium in the eye or something like that. Mm-hmm. And it's only good

up to 48, up to 48 hours. Okay. So after 48 hours, there's no longer a testable amount for them to

be able to determine how long ago the person died. Uh-huh.

So they, they took just the normal blood samples that they take for the autopsy in the autopsy process

and fed it into AI. And AI was able to put it within 1.4 days within 67 days.

Nice. Nice. Yeah. So they can get a hell of a lot closer

in the, in the long term, you know, you still would want to use the potassium for the, for the,

within 48 hours test. Right. Right. But beyond 48 hours, up to 67 days, the, the AI can test the

blood and determine approximately the time of death within 1.4 days. So that is cool. That is

really cool. Yeah. Yeah. That, that's a pretty interesting thing. It is. And then I ran across

the story, uh, an article that says it's time to stop using hybrids. Right.

Any guesses on why? I think I read the story beforehand where there's another story like it. So

yeah, I know why. Okay. Okay. So the reason that they say this is because

they looked at how often the vehicles use electricity versus gas. Uh-huh. Toyota drivers are

decent. They use electricity for about 44% of energy used for driving. Uh-huh.

Porsche drivers? Uh-huh. 0.8%. An average of 7 kilowatt hours over two years. Which means

the average Porsche driver charged their battery less than 50% of its capacity once.

Yep. Yep. Sounds about right. Never charged it again. Sounds about right. Yep.

Yeah. So, uh, yeah, hybrids are just crap. I mean, everybody uses gas in them anyways.

Well, if you actually plug it in like every night, it makes perfect sense. It really does. Yeah.

Then you can tool around your town, you know, on electricity, which is nice and cheap and it's clean.

So I see no problem with that. Uh-huh. It's just that you just don't. You're lazy. You know,

uh, the car will just fire itself anyways. I've just filled it up with gas. So,

well, and most people with with the hybrids, they don't want to buy the electric charger for their

house. They'd rather they go to the, um, to the state to the electricity to the stations. Uh-huh.

And charge them there. And well, I mean, that just takes up your time. You're not going to do that.

Yeah. It sucks. Trust me. I know. Yeah. The wife is driving an EV Hummer. So, yeah, it sucks.

But since it's EV, we have to we have to always keep it. Uh, go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, with this,

it just doesn't make sense. It really doesn't. Um, no. Unless if you know that you will actually plug it

in and everything like that. Yeah. It's because electric, it's nice. You know, no noise and everything

like that is perfect to me. But, uh, you know, in general, yeah, no, it's useless. It really is

useless. Absolutely. Absolutely. Uh-huh. In our last story for the day, I put this into fun stories

simply because, well, I had nothing else. And this one is kind of comical. It makes sense. So,

there was a, there was a, there was a half marathon in, uh, being run in Atlanta over the weekend.

And the four runners at the very, at the front of the pack, they had well-distance themselves from

the pack. We're following the, the pace car. And the place pace car, the press motorcycle,

and the police went off route. Uh-huh. It cost them the race as she came in, uh, like 12, I think. Oh,

Jesus. It took a little while for them to get her back on track, but she fought, but she was, they,

they didn't have the, they didn't have signs up marking the route very well in that area. Right.

And so she was relying on the pace on the pace vehicle and was following the pace vehicle

and the pace vehicle went the wrong way. Wow. Wow. That is.

That is completely crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And she will never run in Atlanta ever again. Just saying.

Probably not. Okay. I was wrong. She finished the ninth place. Uh-huh. And the other,

the other three, the other two that, uh, that went the wrong way with her, uh-huh.

Finished in 12th and 13th. Wow. Wow. Yeah. No. Not cool. Not cool. Way to go. Way to go. Yeah.

They were in the top four and because of the, because of the pace car. Uh-huh. Oh, man. Yeah. So.

Yeah. And with that, I'd like to thank you for joining us for episode 104 of The Minus

Minus. I'm Jesse Freeze and I'm Jayman Freeze and we will see you all on Thursday.
