Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are you still speaking that that should not have made
it to the rest of us. This is inside thoughts.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Chuck Chuck check, Welcome back to inside thoughts. Appreciate you
for pressing, playing, listening. How's your day going. You're feeling good.
It's Tuesday, so we going all right?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
So the treat you good.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I gotta be honest. I'm I'm a little sleepy today.
I am a little sleepy because the new n C
Double A came out yesterday, and man, I played it.
I did. Came out at noon, like I thought it
was gonna you know.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
It was like, well, if you get the pre order,
comes out Monday, comes out Thursday for everybody else who
doesn't want to pay extra money for it.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
My cousin Eric, he's done this two years in a
row now, because I got the pre order two years
in a row. Because I'm stupid. I just wanted to
play it, man, Like what, I don't want to be
sitting on my phone watching people posting clips of them
having fun now. I gotta feel like squid word watching
SpongeBob and Patrick having fun outside. I didn't want to
do that. So I was like, guess what, I'm gonna

(01:22):
pre order it. I'm gonna pay ten extra dollars. I'm
an adult. Well, my cousin Eric, the last two years,
i've like, you know, posted something about playing it, and
he texted me. Last year he goes, oh, dude, is
it good? Should I get it? I go, yeah, bro,

(01:44):
if you like playing NCAA, you're gonna like this. He's like,
oh okay, and he didn't pre order it. So he
goes down to game Stop.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Like it's two and thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Goes down to Game Stop, text me, just bitching. He
was like, bro, games noy know, yeah, man, why don't
you tell me? And I was like, I was, I
don't know. I guess it's my fault. I just I thought,
you know, if you were paying attention to the game,
you knew the pre order happened. You get three day
early access if you do the pre order. He didn't
do the pre order, so you saw mad last year.

(02:18):
He was like, dude, don't win all the way downe
though they won't even have the game yet. I was like,
oh my bad, bro. So this year, same thing. You know,
I get the game downloaded, fired it up, post something
about it. Text me. He's like, is it worth getting?
I was like, yeah, dude, they tried to make the
game good again. It's crazy because if you don't play

(02:40):
video games, I know this is probably not making sense.
But EA Sports, the company that makes most of the
sports games, they are notorious for just not giving a
shit about what they decided to put out because they're like, oh,
they're gonna buy it anyway, just update the rosters and
what do people do? People buy it. But they've been smart,

(03:05):
well not smart. They had to try this year because
like they might lose their exclusive license agreement to make
NFL games and with college they had to try because
it was the first one they'd come out in like,
you know, ten years. So I was a little weary

(03:27):
about getting the new game. But I was watching videos
of you know, the people getting the game first, all
the streamers, the people I was complaining about last week,
and it looked like they tried and they did, like,
you know, they fixed some of the physics physics of
the game. They tried to put you know, like some
extra in between stuff, like in the broadcast they changed

(03:49):
like they put some music in there, like they have
all the bands playing like actual songs, like current songs
and some old time it's a good game. So anyway,
I'm telling them all this, I'm like, yeah, it's good.
They tried, and uh, he goes, Okay, I think I'm
gonna get it. I'm at work. I'm not you know,
paying attention. He sends me a text like thirty minutes later,

(04:10):
he goes, Dude, I did it again. I got what.
He goes, I went down the Game Stop to get
the game and out the game. You should have told me.
I was like, my bad, bro, I wouldn't. I wasn't
thinking about it, but I got I got the game. Eric,
I'm sorry that you wasted guess to go down to
Game Stop, but got the game, got to play it.

(04:32):
I thought I was gonna get to play it like
Sunday night, you know, comes out Monday at midnight. I
thought he was just gonna download right to my PlayStation.
That didn't happen, so I, you know, went to bed,
and they dropped the game. They like released it allowed
you to play it if you downloaded it at noon
on Monday. Only unemployed people and children got to play

(04:58):
the game for like the first five six hours and
everybody else is at work. And honestly, I respect that
because some of the things I forget sometimes, you know,
because I'm getting old. I'm thirty two, but I still
like a lot of stuff from when I was a kid.
Did Sabrina Carpenter say that's called a manchild? Look, I
don't care. I like stuff that I like from when

(05:19):
I was killed, like video games, Jurassic Park. Sometimes you
like forget that you are not the target audience for
whatever this is, even if you like it. They don't
care about when they're making it. In their minds, they're like, yeah,
it's a you know, make sure we're making this game
for a thirty two year old that has to work

(05:40):
in nine to five. They don't care. They're making it
for kids. It's summer. Kids don't have to be at school.
They can sit home all day in the air conditioning
and play this game. Shout out to EA Sports for
doing that. That's dope, and unemployed people got played. They
don't have anything else to do. The world's tough for
right now. They're looking for jobs. That earned a lot

(06:02):
of jobs out there. I was recently unemployed. I know
it's it's tough job market out there, But let's say
you took some of your unemployment money. You know your
bills aren't too high, and you're like, I'm gonna do
something for me to make today happy. Life is said,
I'm gonna make I'm gonna make today happy. Guess what
it was a Monday? All your friends are going to work,

(06:25):
You're feeling left out. Boom noon. You get to play
NCAA before everybody else, says, I respect ea for that.
Oh man, But yeah, I uh. I had to wait
like everybody else to play it after I got off work.
But I just I stayed up and I played it, dude,

(06:47):
Like being an adult is awesome. You can just stay
up as long as you want, you know what I mean? Like,
what's the worst thing that's gonna hap. I'm gonna be
tired for work tomorrow. Okay, I'll drink some coffee. I
don't care. I wish I could have done that when
I was a kid, but my you know, my mom
would be like, no, you have to go to bed.
I ain't have coffee when I was a kid. What

(07:09):
was the alternative mountain dew? Oh, I'm tired here, drink
a mountain dew that gives you diabetic cancer? Bro, Coffee's
better for you. What are the side effects if you
drink too much, get anxiety. Everybody's got anxiety. Drink some coffee.
Coffee still at your growth, I'm already short. I wish
I could have done this. I had this kind of
freedom to stay up late and drink coffee when I

(07:30):
was a kid, because I'll tell you what, it would
not have stunned in my growth anymore. I ate all
my veggies. You want to grow up to be big
and strong. Yeah, well, you gotta eat all your broccoli.
I did nothing happen. It's genetics. Drink your coffee. Kids,
if you're listening to this, drink your coffee. Stay up
until four in the morning playing the New NCAA, and

(07:56):
then tell mom to put an extra extra pot of
off you all for you when you're walking out the
door to go to fourth grade or whatever you're doing.
Because if you're going to school right now, you know
you're in summer school. Anyway, I'm sure your wife's going
in a good direction. What's cup of coffee gonna hurt?
You're gonna be more alert to read The Great Gatsby.
You're gonna be fine, dude. Oh my goodness, I'm sorry.

(08:22):
I'm like I'm regressing into all of the things that
I liked as a kid, you know, like when saw
a Jurassic Park, playing n Cuba, because what else? What
else am I gonna do? I'm gonna care about the world,
the happenings of the world. Why, because I'm an adult,
I have to I have to do something. Well, what

(08:44):
do you want me to do? You saw what they
just did.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, the FBI, the dj came back and found no
client list for Jeffrey Epstein, no wrongdoing, He did not
blackmail anybody.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
What he kill himself for, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
He pro had depression.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
They seriously bro I have never like, I don't know
if there were like crazy conspiracy theorists way back in
the day, like when Kennedy got killed and somebody read
that newspaper and was like, uh uh, no way, some
smells like shit on smell conspiracy. But back then, you know,
most everybody still had faith a little bit. You know,

(09:26):
probably not non white people because they were already getting
the brunt of everything. But white people were probably like, yeah,
you know, I think the government has my best interest
in mine, But do you like, I cannot believe the
balls to put out what they put out. You almost

(09:47):
have to respect it because they've been hyping this thing
up for years. Ever since Epstein got caught, Netflix is
dropping documentaries, Hulu's dropping documentaries, YouTubers are doing think pieces
out the documentaries.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Jeffrey Epstein caught up in this cabal of sex trafficking miners.
Who's there, the who's who of who's controlling the world.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then everybody's like, I wasn't there. I was not there,
And everybody's like, there's gotta be a list, right, there
is a list. We'll find it, we'll get it. Then
they get all the information. Epstein goes to jail and
then decides to kill himself, and they come out and

(10:33):
they go, yeah, okay, remember that guy who's on suicide Watch. Yeah,
well we put Thing one and Thing two in charge
of watching him and they fell asleep. So, uh, yeah,
he he killed himself. Is there any video evidence? No?
The uh funny thing about that the cameras are broke

(10:54):
right now. Yeah, we gotta get like a technician in
here or something to fix that shit. It's crazy, isn't
that wild? The cameras just broke. That's crazy. But yeah,
they broke, So we were like, oh, okay, that's weird
became a little joke, like, you know, Epstein obviously didn't
kill himself. The camera obviously didn't go on. We've all

(11:15):
seen action thriller movies before. You've seen a Born ultimatum, right,
You've seen a spy movie. Hey cut the cameras kill
this guy. Oh what happened? Oh there's new camera evidence
fall seeing it. But we were like, oh whatever. They
still got the list. Gawayne's going to jail, she's got

(11:35):
all the information. They get the list. Everybody's like, when's
the list coming out? Now we have the list, We
have the list infelected. I will put out the list.
I promise you this FBI gets it. The Attorney General

(11:58):
goes on TV and it's like, yeah, I have the
Epstein file on my desk. I gotta look through it.
It's I'm like to do list. You know, like when
you go to work. It's a Monday, you know, new
NCAA just came out at noon, and you're thinking about
playing that. You're not really locked into work, you know
what I mean. And your boss comes in it just

(12:20):
drops a big to do list as shit on your
desk and you're like, oh, today I don't want to
do it. So you're like, I'll get to it. I'll
get to it. You know, I just gotta be done
with this by the end of the week. I got
some other stuff to do. I'll be on auto pilot.
Blah blah blah. You forget about the list, right, So
it's been months then, Uh, director of the FBI goes on,

(12:45):
you know, Joe Rogan, because that's what you do when
you want to why to stupid people, You hide in
plain sight. He's getting asked all these questions like so,
like you've looked at the tapes. Oh, there's there's hundreds
of thousands of hours all from the island. Like, we

(13:06):
we got to go through it, you know. I mean,
if there was something, wouldn't you think that I would.
I would do it. I would show everybody what right.
Rogan's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you would, that would make sense. Yeah,
but there's a list, right, you say there's a list, Like, bro,
if I had a list, wouldn't I give it to you?
I don't know, dude, I don't know you. You're the director

(13:28):
of the FBI, don't you Guys just do crazy cover
up shit all the time. But they were working on it.
You know, it was like, Okay, well maybe something will happen.
P Diddy gets off last week he was apparently doing
a whole bunch of stuff. He's making justin Bieber go
crazy ushers, you know, giveing wicking cherries, the divorces a concerts, like,

(13:53):
you know, people have been affected. So we're thinking Diddy's
gonna go. Nothing happens he gets off. What what was
that called? He didn't get sex trafficking charges? He got Uh,
it was like transportation to prostitution or something. No, no, no,

(14:15):
I wasn't. I wasn't buying and selling. I was just
driving there, dude. It's like when you get caught with
a big bag of weed. They're like, I intent to distribute. No, no, no,
I'm just gonna smoke all this myself, sir. There's forty
eight pounds of weed in the trunk. Yeah, yeah, that's
all for me, me and my bros. But then he

(14:37):
gets off, and then you're like, okay, well that stinks,
but whatever. Then this comes out where they go.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Uh the Department of Justice, the FBI says there's no
client list, no wrongdoing by Jeffrey Epstein, no black man.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Anyway, he didn't do anything then what he kill himself for?
And people are asking I like, bro, you want to
know what's crazy. You always think that adults are good
at lying, you know, because like you've seen a little
kid why before, Like I remember, I don't know why

(15:13):
this sticks out, but like one of the most vivid
memories I have is like one of the first times
I tried to lie to my mom. It was after Halloween.
I was a kid, I think I was like five
or six. My favorite candy was Rese's Cups, and so
like I just went around the neighborhood, you know, got
a whole bunch of Recee's cups, sectioned them all out,

(15:37):
and care about the other candy. I was like, give
me the reces cups. And my mom, being a good mom,
was like, hey, you can only have one of those
recy cups a day, one package of them. Okay, can't
just eat them all. Your stomach's gonna hurt and your
teeth are gonna fall out. Don't do that. You'll get
diabetes later. And I was like, oh, okay, I won't
do it. And then you know, you're a five six

(15:59):
year old kid, you got a bunch of you're sitting
on a stash of reces. Bro what do you what
do you think? What do you think I'm going to do?
So she goes off, you know, around the corner. She's
like working on something and I see these I see
these reces sitting in front of me, big stack, big
mountain of or Rese's cups, and I just, you know,

(16:20):
you started like sweating, salvating looking at him. The little
cartoon pie smell hand comes and like grabs my nostrils
and pulls me over to the receas. So I had,
like I shoved like four to eight of these things
in my mouth and I'm trying to chew them. My
mom comes back around the corner. She goes, what are
you doing? And I was like boom. She's like, you

(16:41):
eat a bunch of reces? Mm hmmm. She goes, you
sure you go mm hmmm. She goes, okay, mouthful reess
just wide straight to her face and she knew but
she was like, huh, okay, you know what, it's too easy.
I'm just gonna leave that alone. I'm gonna let him
about it. And it worked because I thought about it.

(17:02):
I was like, you know what, that was such a
terrible Why I don't need to do that anymore. That
is how these people are lying about the Epstein stuff. Bro.
The Attorney General got up or the uh White House
Press secretary gets up in front of everybody answering questions, which,
by the way, gotta be the worst job when everybody's

(17:22):
just doing all this terrible shit and they give you
the press release and you look at it and you're like,
you want me to go stand out in front of
all these people and say this, Yeah, go out there,
do that good thing and make a bunch of money.
Nothing bad happened. What about all the bad things that happened, Dad,
They weren't actually bad. That's like her whole job. She

(17:46):
goes out there and some reporters, like some reporter goes, hey, so,
uh the Jeffrey Epstein thing. Nobody they didn't find anything.
And she was like, yeah, opening showcase, Johnson, we didn't
find anything. He goes all right, well, a couple months ago,
the Attorney General said she had the files on her desk,
and now there's no files. And she like, you know,

(18:08):
when someone's trying to lie, like when you're a kid
and you lie, you just try and remove yourself from
the why you just deny whatever the action is, because
that's all you're equipped to do as a kid. You
get older, like teenager, you realize if you can throw
the situation on somebody else, they might fumble and you

(18:31):
can get out of the why to distract and deflect, right,
So immediately the Press secretary goes no, no, no. What she said,
By the way, this was on your network, which she
was so nice to be on. This is what she
said on your network. And the guy was like, yeah,
I know what channel it was on, lady, what what happened? Well,
what she said was she had something that she had

(18:54):
to look at the whole file of the the NO file.
That's what she was looking at. Wasn't looking at the file.
She was looking at the file of the no file.
And the guy was like, hey, you know, I'm not retarded,
right what what what what are you saying? And she
was like, well, I'll have you know. The FBI is

(19:16):
working on a plan right now. It's called summer heat,
and they're bringing the murder rate down in the summer.
That is what we care about. And you're like, who's that. Yeah,
nobody wants anybody getting murdered in the summer, But what
does that have to do with the question, I asked,
Just deflect it, get away from the situation. They did that,

(19:36):
and then Trump there there was like some other like
meeting that were all sitting at a table, and another
another journalist was just like, hey, so the Epstein thing,
you said there was a file and now there's no file.
I'm just I'm confused. And the press secretary of the
Attorney General, which everyone was sitting there like, tries to

(19:58):
start giving an answer to Trump. I'm saying, goes, wait
a second, are you still talking about jeff Jeff Epstein,
Jeffrey John, Jacob Jingolheimer, Schmidt Epstein, We're still talking about
this creep. There's there's things going on in Texas, use
certain name in states. There's things going on in North Carolina, Carolina,

(20:19):
great barbecue, And you want to talk about this? He
was like, that's how little children? Why, Hey, did you
get a bad grade? Well, well, you want to talk
about my bad grade? Did you see what my little
sister did with my toys when you told her not to?
And by the way, aren't you with dad giving a divorce?

(20:41):
But we want to talk about my bad grade? That's
how little kids? Why bro. I just like, if you're
gonna lie to me, do it better. You know what
I'm saying, Just do it better. Well it didn't happen.
That's lazy. Okay, what are my tax dollars going to?

(21:03):
They're not fixing potholes? I want. If you're gonna take
my money, you need to lie better. That's all I want. Okay.
This is why I'm watching Jurassic Parking Point in NC
double A because what are we supposed to do? And
you can't do anything because you know they're the biggest

(21:25):
bowie on the block. What are we gonna do? Try
and be French like as much ship as the French get.
Anytime you know something goes wrong, they you know, the
government renames the street signed they don't.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Like wait their second, wait the second, by seventh?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
What do you doing? Uh, we're changing the name of
Main Street to Broadway Street. No no, no, no, no no. What
are you gonna do about it? I'm going to pull
pooh pooh on your That's what they did last time
they were mad about something all the I think it
was like a union problem or something like all the
sewage guys just flooded the drains and just poured shit

(22:04):
on like the Capitol building or whatever, and then the
government was like, all right, smells like shit. I don't
want to smell this anymore, and they changed it. We
can't do that, though, because we hate each other so much.
Like you get on social media now, and you know,
like I follow everybody. I'm friends with a bunch of
people from different walks of life. So some people are Democrats,

(22:26):
some people are Republicans. And you get on there and
the Democrats are going, see, this is what you voted for.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Uh, don't you feel stupid now?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Nan Nana boo boo and the Republicans are like, oh,
well yo, what did Biden do? But it's like, hey,
we're all on the same team. They made us think
that it was coker pepsi. Okay, they made us think, hey,
you have two choices, it's coker pepsi. Can I have water?

(22:58):
What did you ask for? You want to be healthy?
Have a cocher pepsi. That's what they're doing. So we
need to come together stop making politicians and political parties
our whole personalities. I know it's tough because we've been
doing it for the last decade aggressively and just realize

(23:20):
it's a bunch of rich people that hate us. They
just want money and they get mad when we start
asking questions or asking you know, for a regular wife.
You know what I mean, you want to be able
to afford food. Ah, I don't like that tax them.

(23:43):
I'm just saying, like, there's nothing you can do, so
at least can we stop pointing the finger at each
other and just you know, realize, like, hey, it sucks,
but it sucks for both of us. You know, you
don't need to be trying to get some mental high
ground on the other way. Oh well, I'm mo than you.
Moral high ground, not mental high ground, you mental idiot. Anyway,

(24:05):
I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just saying
it's it's tough, so you got to focus on the
little things in life because you know you can't can't
fix the big things. It is it is funny to
you know, got focus on the little things and the
funny things like sports. You know, gambling's legal. So all

(24:30):
these players are getting in trouble because they also are
just not good at lying. One of the Cleveland Guardians
Pitcher is like under investigation for uh, fixing like two
pitches It was the weirdest headline I think I've ever read.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
It was like, uh, Cleveland Guardians pitcher is under investigation
over two pitches.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
It was like a pitch on June third and a
pitch on May twenty second, And You're like, what do
they hate this guy? There's no way, like how bad
are these pitches that they're like, yeah, this guy was
fixing something. Because they do these prop bets where you
can be like, hey, I'm gonna put a million dollars
on this guy throwing a ball the first pitch, the

(25:16):
first bat or the third inning, and so that's like
they saw the algorithm, the AI algorithm in Vegas that
you know doesn't let you cheat the system saw a
weird anomaly and they're like, hey, check this guy out,
check these two pitches out. And I'm thinking, you know,
there's no no way you're looking at two pitches. You

(25:36):
go watch the video. Type up Cleveland Guardians pitcher gambling.
Look up the pitch that he threw. I think the
one from why June twenty second or whatever it was.
It was third inning and I think they were playing
the Cardinals and the prop bet was, you know, win
a bunch of money if he throws a ball. Basically

(26:01):
he looked he threw it, like did you ever see
fifty cent try and throw out a first pitch at
the Mets game where he just spikes it into the
ground throws it, you know, not even close. That's what
this guy did, like not even trying to hide those
like ooh, buddy, you're going to jail. But see that's funny,
not him going to jail, just the cartoon looney tunes

(26:22):
of it that he was like, Oh, I bet nobody'll
notice if I put five million dollars on me to
throw a ball in the third inning. Vegas has got
the algorithm. Buddy, you're not beating the house. Also, I've
been talking way too long. I didn't even realize.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I was getting all fired up. I was getting all
fired up, all.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Right, what's uh? I apologize for attempting to talk about
real things because I shouldn't do that. I'm way too stupid,
which brings me to my headline of the week. People
with higher cognitive a bill to have weaker moral foundations.
A new study finds that means that smart people are

(27:08):
more likely to be bad people. You want to know why,
because they can they can see, like we had all
these dumb pieces of shit, it'd be so easy to
take advantage of them, take all their money. You know,
I have it for myself. Those are the people like
you know, they always say, like when you're watching a

(27:28):
serial killer documentary.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
He was so smart and tactical, and I can't.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Believe it, Yeah, because he was probably a genius and
he just you know, that type of genius where you
don't have any empathy in your head, so you like,
life bores me. I think I need to kill someone.
That's a lot of these smart people that run all
these companies. They just don't kill people. They just squeeze people.
Like you ever get a when you're a kid, get

(27:54):
a big hug from like a old ant, like a
great aunt. It was just way too hard. You're like, oh,
I'm dying, sandy whatever. That's what these people do. They
just keep squeezing like a boa constrictor. So basically, what
I'm saying is I'm a better person than you because
I am pretty stupid. But just focus on being dumb
