Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, my knuckle tattoos say g U b R. What
do yours say?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Uh G?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And then two little o's on the next one on
the middle finger, and then b R.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Goober, goober. I'm in a little.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's kind of rainy and dreary out this morning, and
a lot of you are probably you know, you're you're
still laying in bed. You can't decide whether you know
you're out from under the covers or not. It's a
little I mean, because it's humid, because it's wet outside,
even though it's like forty some forty one degrees, it's
(00:45):
a little chili outside. In fact, I brought a windbreak
around just in case it's, you know, raining when I
go back out. It was raining at the house this morning.
And then maybe if you some of you are on
the highway. Of course, idiots don't know how to drive,
you know, in the rain. And so my this is
because it's kind of a little dark and dreary, little
wet rainy that many of you are not quite really
(01:08):
awake yet. So I thought this morning we'd start out
the program with me doing a Dragon has no responsibility
for this at all, except he could cut off all
of the microphones in here, and then you would be saved.
But I thought it would be appropriate this morning, being
(01:29):
the good goober that I am and really caring all
about you, to wake you up.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Do I really need to do a preamp to strike
and just go ahead and turn both of those off
right now so that I have to save the lives
of all of the goopers that are listening right now.
I have turned off his microphone, so even though he
looks like he's about to speak, nothing is going to
come out. And I've also turned off his computer, so
if he decides to play anything over there, because I
have a feeling feeling, I don't know anything, but it's
(01:58):
just that there could be a Kamala cackle or did
she speak yesterday? Or something almost kind of lines, and
I'm just trying to save you right now, so see
you see, dare I turn those back on?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So I thought it would be appropriate to And he
thinks he's so smart and.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
He's still gonna go for it, and he just thinks.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He's so smart because sometimes, well I'd put it this way,
sometimes Dragon's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Just half ass right, not all right, but just half
aass right. Oh, please think of the children.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Don't do it, Michael, And just to show you that,
you know, being the.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Bad guys, don't do it.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Michael confers an advantage upon the Marxists that live among us.
They're all around you. I just sometimes think that nobody
has the audacity to compile it all together and bring
it to you so that you can realize that this
is out there.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
To do it now, I will.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I will confess that, for example, whether it's YouTube or TikTok,
Facebook x, whatever, that the algorithm which says frighteningly many
things about me, may feed you certain things. Because you know,
if if I were doing a show about pornography, which
kind of in a way this is kind of a pornography.
(03:24):
If I was if I were doing a show prep
on pornography every day, then my ex feed and my
Facebook feed, and I don't have a TikTok account, but
they would all be feeding me, you know, the highest
quality pornography or whatever kind of deprive of the that
I was into.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So this is uh.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I know that this is not everyone, but I think
it's certainly a good representations. As the liberal establishment endorsed
Black Lives Matter riots made obvious it includes political violence
and apparently there are a lot of people out there.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's just to make to show you why this is
personal to me. I was with a group of people
yesterday and we were standing around. We had had this
meeting and were standing around and I knew that a
couple of them and there were very, very liberal, and
I was looking at something on my phone before we left,
(04:29):
and they saw that had my podcast app sitting there
and they said, oh, what do you listen to? And
you know, I gave him some examples and they were like, oh,
you got to listen to this guy. And they gave
him the name of somebody which I've not listened to yet,
but I looked him up and he's a far lefty
Marxist economic professor and I did mark it because I'm like,
I really do want to hear what he had to say.
(04:51):
But he then said I'd really like to know what
you think about him, and I thought, okay, well I will,
and I said, you know, it's kind of interesting that,
you know, I know that this small group of people
are that we're on all sides of the political spectrum.
And they go, yeah, but I don't think any of
us are crazy, because there are just too many Trump
(05:14):
crazies out there, and I thought, well, do I say
anything or not say anything? I thought, well, I'll just
keep my mouth shut. But my guess is he might
even be on this edge of the political spectrum. I
give you Trump assassination videos because.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know that you know that, I know what we're
all thinking. Who's gonna do it? It can't be me.
I'm a dance teacher.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I got things to do.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Somebody's got to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I'm gonna take one.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
For the team because we're six weeks in.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I can't do four more years of this guy's I
don't give a fuck. You have to. I'm not asking
somebody do it already.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Please please, I'm begging you, somebody take one.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
For the team. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I cannot wait for the day that I wake up
and I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
See the headlines. I'm during a party. Everyone, you're all invited.
Everyone's invited.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I need someone to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Soon now, please, it's coming.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We're all gonna wake up one morning and roll over
and grab our phones, and that headline is gonna be
right there. It's gonna happen, and I can't It's.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Gonna be glorious, that's coming. Happy Friday.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
If you're going through it right now, I just want
you to think of the inevitable day, hopefully sooner than later,
that you wake up one morning and the sun is
running just somehow a little bit brighter.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You open your phone, breaking news.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
You hear chanting in the street, you hear sounds of celebration.
Everyone is elated. There's a feeling of relief going through
our society all because of this breaking news. I want
you to hold onto that feeling, because we know what's
gonna happen. It's just like a matter of what.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Someone just needs to do it. Someone just needs to
get it done.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
And I'm not usually pro doing it, but like someone
just needs to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Somebody doesn't do they're doing all right, you are Nike,
You're because you're not doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Do it, wo do it?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
When it happens.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
What are we going to do about vance?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Somebody needs to think ahead on that.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
I'm thank it.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
I mean you this messages for the cartel. We didn't
ask the guests. We don't want any problems with you. Honestly,
I was a big family of products in my twenties. Okay,
I had a lot of fun, but might I suggest
breaking the rules, get high on your own supply and
the man you're looking for. Lisa, sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue
(07:57):
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
The cam What what is that.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
You, Donald Trump? I can't wait till that day because
I'll be I'll be I'll be throwing a party. We
all know what that day is coming. We all know
what that day that I'm talking about is.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
If you support Donald Trump and you support the Republican
Party and you support Elon Musk, you're either a naughty
or a not sympathizer. And the only good Nazi is
a daynity. Remember, ladies and gentlemen. That is the most
important thing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I fear.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Somebody's got to do it and get it done quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Somebody's got to do it, and we.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Need to set up a GoFundMe for whoever does it
to make sure they have the absolute best commissary in there,
top notch noodles, top notch do Yodoranian shampoo, and hypothetically,
if you don't make it, after you do do it,
your kids kids kids will go to the top universities.
(08:59):
With the go fund me, we'll set up for you.
But somebody's got to do it and get it done quickly.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Isn't that fascinating.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I'm just thankful it wasn't a Kamal eclipse that I
was thinking that you were going to play.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So that's that's not as bad. That's not as bad.
So anyway, like I tell you, dragon is half ass right,
sometimes I was prepared for the worst.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So then the the other thing is there is And
you know, I'm sometimes a bad analogy guy. I just
sometimes not very good because I just like, because there's
too many esoteric things that we talk about, it's sometimes
hard to draw an analogy. But there's someone who's brilliant
at drawing analogies.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And well, here we go.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
In fact, please allow me, friends to digress for a moment. Okay,
it's kind of dark in here when I'm asked for
show of hands. I saw that video from a couple
of weeks ago, the one of the l ephants at
the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You've not seen it, so that scene.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Has been on my mind. Everybody's asking me what you've
been thinking about these days? Well, you think you just
fell out of a coconut tree.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think she did.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
She goes on talking, but you've seen, you've seen the
video where the when the earthquake occurred. I forget where
it was now was the one in Thailand? I don't know,
but where the elephant circle to protect.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The young and she's San Diego. I think it was
it San Diego. Okay, san Diego. Yeah, it was San Diego,
because she was speaking in San Diego. That's right.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And she goes on to draw the analogy that that's
what we all need to do, because we all need
to circle around, we need to protect each.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Other because the symbol of the Republican Party, the elephant,
circled around the zone.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Right right, and we've so you know she's trying. But
I guess beyond just the bad analogy, because I guess
from her point of view that they all need to
circle around and maybe maybe maybe the baby elephant that
the Democrats want to protect is the person in the
(11:18):
other video that just needs to go do it. Nike,
You we're not talking about you, remember the guy said, no,
We're like, I'm not talking to you, but we just
need to just do it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You gotta just do it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And then I love the fact that one of them
wants to start to go fund me because they want
to make sure they have enough money for the very
finest commissary and then that maybe their kids can go
on to I don't know, maybe they could go on
to it, I think League school and be top Marxism,
you know, at Harvard, Yale, Princeton. I mean, maybe maybe
they could do that. But that's where we are on. Well,
(11:53):
isn't that kind of interesting that today is May first? Yeah,
so let's have our May Day breade. Let's let's get
the tanks and everything out and let's go. Let's go
driving down the twenty five and let's celebrate May Day.
Maybe we can get the Blue I've seen these videos
of Blue Angels practicing this.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
New a leron move that they do, which is pretty
pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But maybe we can have them fly over you know,
Denver and scare up the homeless or whatever and get
you know, scare all the illegal aliens. There's a lot
of things that can be done right now, lots of things.
So maybe she's talking about maybe the elephants gathering around
to protect you know, that person that's going to finally
do it. That's the world that we now live in now.
(12:37):
I find it interesting too that Kamala Harrison her first
major speech, by the way, which she was paid for.
I have not yet, I haven't done that much research,
but I'm kind of curious how much she got paid
for the speech. But it was in California. Now I
think she thinks that we all think that she's running
(12:58):
for governor of California. But it's been made very clear
in articles about this speech that she is still keeping
her mind open to run for the presidency again.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I'm thinking, wow, just wow. So so the slip
back again to the assassination.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Videos, there was one there was one person in those
videos that was kind of impressive. They were thinking ahead, like, Okay,
if we finally do it, is anybody thinking about what
we do with vans because we still got vans out there,
so we need a two forer we need a Bogo
(13:40):
by one get one. That's what we need. Among the
assassination crowd is by one get one. So this is
it's dreary out this morning, but I thought this this
would be a good way to just kind of wake
everybody up and give everybody a kind of a feel
good today that as you're walking around and you're you know,
(14:00):
maybe in your office building, you're in the grocery store
or dragon if I got a grocery store story for you. Uh,
as you're doing going about your business today, maybe you're
teaching somewhere. Just remember those people, including the people that
paid to go listen to Kamala Harris give you an
(14:22):
elephant analogy are which is kind of interesting because drag
and drive, I mean, the symbol of the Republican Party.
And yet we were protecting ourselves. We were protecting ourselves
because we're all gathering around trying to protect Donald Trump
from that crazy people are on TikTok weo were trying
to assassinate them and hoping they get a really good commissary.
And I also like the one that was addressing the cartels.
(14:45):
You know, I just want you to know because when
when you're addressing a group and you're you're you're giving
a speech to a group, as she was to the cartels,
you want to you want to build a connection like
I always want to have a relatable connection with with
you goobers. And she was brilliant in hers She said,
I want to speak to all the cartel members. You know,
(15:06):
I know your product. In fact, I used in my twenties,
I consumed your product. So you know, she's developing a connection.
And so now I'm asking you, as a former user
of your products, that you now need to go to.
And I think she was the one that said specifically
sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
So you go, get out of your cocoon.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Pay attention, because all around you are people just like that,
just like that driving you hear my grocery store story.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh sure, something to wash our mouths out.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
So I go to King.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Supers yesterday, the one over by me, and I only
buy I see, I have four things in my little
mini cart. And then I have I because when I
spoke at the University Chicago, they give you a swag bag. Well,
I took the swag bag, you know, the canvas bag,
(16:02):
and threw it in the back of my beamer because
I thought, I'm thinking tired of sometimes tamer that says
we stopped at the grocery store. I really am tired
of just the whole like, you know, using the paper
bags and stuff, and they're just crap. So I thought, well,
you know what, I'll just I capitulated. So I throw
that in the cart and then I pick up my
(16:23):
four items, go to the self checkout and I scan
and put them on there. Scan, put them on, scan,
put them on, and then I'm done. And so then
I hit pay now, and the minute I touched pay now,
the screened froze came up with a pop up said
that help is on the way.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And I'm like, I mean, I'm truly thinking, what the
hell for?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What for?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
And I'm and then I'm getting irritated because help's not
on the way. Help, you know, I finally have to
get someone's attention. And I'm looking, Okay, all the all
the items are scanned, there's nothing here. I just I've
got my credit card in my hand. I'm just ready
to tap it. I've put in my alternate ID, you know,
so I can, you know, so I can track when
I purchased and you know, give me my fuel points
(17:12):
and all of that. And then this guy comes over
and he just puts his little you know, he scans
his employee card.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And and I, you know, me, can't let it go.
I'm like, why why did you do that? Why? Why
did it? Why did it happened there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Why why all of a sudden when I've done everything
properly did it? And he starts to explain it to me.
And as as the machine is as the screen is resetting,
I see for a couple of seconds, I see me
on the screen. I see a screenshot of me. Now
(17:57):
it's not full on face because I'm looking down the screen.
But there's a camera above the self checkout that is
filming everything I'm doing. And I say, what's that? And
(18:19):
he goes on to explain several things to me. Wait
till I tell you exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
What that was.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
So, Michael, they got rid of the checkers for self checkout,
but someone has to be reviewing all those videos of
us checking out to see if we're taking anything. How
much are they paying those people instead of the checkers.
How much money are they really saving? Can they run
the videos at one point five or two time speed? Interesting?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Oh, the video story gets even more interesting with those videos.
I'm sure it's straight up just AI. So they're looking
for something that looks like a candy bar not getting
scanned and put into the bag. So I don't think
anybody is physically watching those screens. It's just a computer
program going, hey, flag this, and then the attendant will
(19:21):
come by scan their code, look at the video and go, yeah,
you stole that, and then you know, or make you
pay for it or scan it again or fix the
problem or whatever. So nobody's sitting in King Soupers headquarter
watching that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
So for me, I'm now I now realize. And I didn't.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I didn't argue with the guy because of what he
said to me, which said, oh you and I aren't
exactly the same wavelength. But I do want to draw
it to me. Kingsoper's self checkout has become the TSA
of grocery store because the guy. So, the guy walks over.
(20:04):
So so to just reset the topic, I I I
bought four items, two of one and then two other
separate things.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Four items, and and I had my university.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You can fully admit that you bought two tubes of
preparation h it's fine. Well after yesterday I had two, yes,
I was, I was all out, and some ice cream
truck and some of Nancy Pelosi's fancy expensive ice cream.
That's exactly preparation age and ice cream. What more do
you need in life than that?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Tamar came back exactly so, so I I I scan
the items and I hit you know, pay now credit card,
and that's when the pop up says, oh, help is
on the way, and I'm standing there like an idiot,
like I when I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Want any help. I didn't ask for any help. I
look around, like, did.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I like a I forget to put something on the
you know, on the little bagging area, and no, everything's.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Fine, nearest I could figure is because this has actually
happened to me where I'm just trying to scan relatively
quickly moving things from hand to hand to hand to hand. Yeah,
and then it has flagged me and gone, you know,
shown me the video of me moving my unpurchased items
over the bagging area.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of course, you're the only person I know who can
move his hand that fast.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Nobody can see that. That's that's funny. That's funny. You're
the only one that can move with that fast. And
so I'm thinking you just didn't scan something quote unquote.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
So that's why I'm surveying my little environment, like what
did I What did I do wrong? Because it immediately
made me feel guilty like I did something wrong. Help
was on the way, of course, then help was not
on the way. So I'm standing there, you know, and
I'm and I'm pissed because now the whole purpose of
self checkout has now been defeated, right, it's now been
(22:00):
defeated because I could have already been on my way.
So I'm looking to read. I got my head up
like a check and you're like looking around, like where
you know, where's somebody. This guy finally sees me. I'm
guessing he's somewhere between thirty and thirty five years old,
and he walks over. He scans his little employee card
and then up pops a screen shot and I realize
(22:25):
that I look up.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I mean I literally look up at the ceiling.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
And realized for the first time I didn't maybe they've
been there for a long time, but I didn't pay
me attention, and I realized I'm on candy camera, and
I'm instantly pissed off. And then I look down again
at the and I hear him mumble something, and it
was a mumble like he's irritated, and he goes, damn job, yeah,
(22:55):
and then he resets and he goes, you're good now,
and I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait a minute,
what what And now I'm kind of mad that I
said it. This way, but I think I said something
to the fact, what did I do wrong?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like why did it do this? And he he said,
I think.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's and he kind of looked over my shoulder and
I looked and I said, you're kidding me. My canvas bag,
my little swag bag from the University of Chicago, is
laying in the cart.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And I remember seeing.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
When I looked on the screen shot, I can see
that because I could see everything. Oh, the artificial intelligence
or whatever algorithm they're using detected as something was in
the cart, and I said, is it that? And he goes, oh, yeah,
(23:50):
And I said, I find this so irritating, and then
he kind of did the kind of the side eye,
like looking around to see if anybody was around, and
then he just dumped on me. I mean he dumped. Now.
Now you know, I was in a hurry to get
out because I was also going dragon. Just so to
(24:11):
give some context to this, I had parts so that
I could stop at the Crumble Cookie so that I
could have a crumble cookie at home when Tammer got home,
because I was going to get a chocolate chip cookie
so that we could split a chocolate chip cookie after
dinner last night, so I was kind of in a
hurry for that, but I'm like, no, now I'm intrigued
(24:32):
because I want to hear the story. And he goes, yeah,
we put these cameras in because so many illegals his
term were stealing was they were stealing stuff. And I
was kind of like in Iaven's ranch. And he goes,
oh yeah, he says, you wouldn't believe they would come
in here. They would they would scan you know, a
(24:52):
few items, you know, maybe ten dollars worth of items
or so, and then they would you know, check out,
throw that in their cart, and then they would drive away.
So the cameras are now in place to see whether
or not you're scanning everything. And he didn't use the
term artificial intelligence, but I think that's what it is.
The AI is is kind of looking. The algorithm is
(25:13):
looking to see if there's stuff in the cart. Once
you hit you know, you're ready to go, is your
cart empty or not? And so I did say at
that point, so my bag, it might the bag that
I brought in because I can't I don't want to
pay pay ten cents for your cheap ass paper bags.
Because now he and I are very animated with each
(25:35):
other because he's pissed off because he's having to you know,
come over and and city.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
He's actually having to do his job. What he's mad about.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And he's mad about having to do his job because
illegal aliens are stealing stuff, and he's mad because there's
illegal And this is just a glorious moment because I'm
pissed because I've I've been caught on camera ostensibly trying
to steal something, which is right, trying to steal my
own bag, which I'm forced to bring because of the
damn Democrats put a bag fee in. And then King
(26:03):
Supers realizes that they get they can't provide plastic bags,
so now they provide the cheap paper bags that don't
have a handle, so the paper bags don't really do
any goose. Now you've got to gather up the paper
bags and hold them, you know, around your chest to
carry them out. So we're both just mad at the
whole situation, all the circumstances. But I was I was
(26:25):
flabbergasted about how open he was about illegals, the term
illegals and stealing stuff, and it just it just irritates
the fire out of him, and he has to do
that quite often, because you know, I'm sure that now
Tambra buys enough groceries. I doubt Tamra ever goes through
(26:46):
the self checkout, because she's just when she buys grocery,
she buys too much stuff. So I'm sure that she
leaves her canvas bags in the cart and then the
checker probably just hands them over to the bagger if
they're if there isn't even a bagger, and so it
doesn't do it other places other than the self checkout.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's the world we now live in.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And as Dragon I were talking to the break Dragon
was like in Highland's ranch, and I said, when you
think about it, it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, just drive fifteen minutes out of your way, and
you've got an easier target.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
An easier target. Now, I imagine that King Soopers would
try to stop somebody. Maybe not, I don't know, but
at least they got bad enough that now we're being
we're being checked wherever we go.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Was there an officer checking receipts on your way out? No,
there was none of that.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
But that's also the King Supers that now has. When
you come in, it has the gates that open so
you can't go back out that way, which is also
irritating because I've actually gone into that King Supers before
looking Tamer said hey, I need you to get X,
and I go in in there out of X. So
now I gotta walk back around through the self checkout,
and of course they all look at you when.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You walk, because that's not suspicious at all, somebody walking
through the self checkout and not doing anything, not anything right.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
So I'm sure maybe that will be the next step,
is we'll have a guard that will frisk you on
your way out because you came in the grocery store
and you didn't buy anything.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I get frustrated with the receipt checker because it's like,
I take the receipt, I crumble it up, I throw
it in one of the bags and I'm pushing the
cart and they're like, and you check your receipt. It's
like it's in there, good luck.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh good for you. And people think you and I
are passive progressive. I don't know where they get that idea,
but that's brilliant. I got to remember that one next
time I'm at Sam's or Costco. Yeah, that's boom, that's
going into the it's in.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
There so your King Supers are safe. Way you've got
a receipt checker. Uh huh wow. And it's it. It's
somebody with a badge.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
I don't know if it's an actual police officer or security,
just a King Super's badge, you know, sowing on or something,
but yeah, it did somebody.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
See this, this is government replicated itself in the private sector.
It's it's TSA, it's kobookie security.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
If it's just you know, if if it's just me, y'all,
I'll crumple it up and throw it. But if it's
you know, missus Redbeard is with me, and I try
and be a little nicer, I like, all right, yah,
well you go.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You know, I just have a sneaking suspicion that you're
being overly cautious because knowing Missus Redbeard like I do,
I'm surprised that she wouldn't be fully supportive of that.
I just think you might want to try that sometimes
with her, yeah, because I think next time she'll be like, damn,
(29:40):
I'm married, no wonder I married this guy, and then
she's gonna do it the next time. Now to follow
up on that, I've got some good news on the
other side of this break.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
You know, Michael, I am just over being inconvenienced and
treated like a criminal because of the illegals in this country.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
They're so frustrating. Deport them.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Maybe if you get on TikTok and do a deport
you know, get get the whole algorithm going about deport them,
deport them.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I mean, if they if they can.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do TikTok's about assassinating Trump and Vance. You know, somebody,
somebody's gotta do it. Somebody's got to do it.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
And let's not forget to mention that, you know, they've
got some of like the vitamin counters and the pills
and everything, the tile halls and the aspens, those are
locked up, along with the detergents. Those are all locked up.
I'm done purchasing those items there. I'll buy that crap
on Amazon. I don't care if it's a little bit
more expensive.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I forgot to mention that's the other thing that the
guy said to me, because I'm telling you this was
a complete data dumb of everything this guy's brain about
what he was pissed off about illegal aliens and everything.
That's how it's changed our society. Because then he swerved
in to just be glad that a lot of stuff
here is not yet locked up, as he says, that's
(31:01):
the next step.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, that the safe way by me.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
All the vitamins and tylenols and aspirins are all locked up,
as well as the detergents. And it's like, nope, nope,
I'm not I'm not dealing with that. I'll have it
delivered to my house for just a few pennies more right.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah there. I mean, everybody's screwing themselves, yep.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
And we're screwing ourselves because to the talk back point,
we kept allowing this to get think think about think
about during the four years that you and I were
here doing Biden and literally we would talk about literally
hundreds of thousands of people coming into this country illegally,
and everybody just that by and just watched it happen.
(31:40):
And now while Trump's trying to fix it and reverse that,
which he's obviously reversed the numbers coming across, but now
pushing them back out is going to take a long time,
and he's being fought every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Now, I said I had some good news, but I
have better news. And the better news is you? Holy crap?
Old of do I love it?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You know?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Can you turn my microphone off? Because I don't want
them to hear what I'm about to say.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
All right, your microphone's off so nobody can hear. Now,
You're good, right there, right, because I.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really do have to admit that I'm Dragon. Don't tell them,
but I really do love this audience. Nobody will believe
you anyway.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Oh my god, there, and you talk about you and
I are just amateurs when it comes to passive aggressiveness.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, a couple of these are really good.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Oh my gosh, listen to this one. This is Nuber
fifty eight to eleven, Michael Dragon. I do something similar
with Miking super Security guard your TSA guard. After I
do the self checkout, I had to leave and security
will say, do you have your receipt ready to check?
And my and my response, this person writes, is no,
(32:53):
but I have plenty of extra time on my hands
if you want to accompany me to the manager's office
so we can review the film with my purchase and payment,
shall we? And the response is always pause, No, you're good. Yep, man,
I've got to try that one one time. Let's see now, Well,
(33:16):
you know it sucks to be Fort Collins, but forty
four to sixty seven here in north Fort Collins, we
have had the gates, the cameras, and the receipt checkers
for a while. Now, well, it's because you don't live
in hoity toity Highlands rants like I do. We're just
slowly getting them.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
See.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
But up in Fort Collins, you know where the college
students and the illegal aliens are stealing everything. Well, you've
had them for a long time. Let's see, Michael and Dragon,
it's Sam's and Costco. They can insist on checking receipts
because you sign up for a membership. That sounds about
right now, It sounds right, But I would challenge you,
(33:51):
and I don't want to do the work, So I'm
gonna ask you to do the work. Go read the
terms of service the toss for your Costco or Sam's
membership and see if that's in the terms of service,
because my guess is it is not.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
The other thing I would.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Add is there was a story my Wall Street Journal
recently that I think it's Sam's, and it may be
Walmart two I'm not sure, but one of the one
of the big warehouses is going completely. There will still
be workers in the buildings, but they're going completely.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
No checkout.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
You have to you have to have the app and
you have to scan everything and then you walk through
like there is a you need to ask your son
about this. Saw video yesterday about Amazon trucks. When they
go back to the warehouse, they have to drive through
a scanner that checks for any damage to the vehicle
(34:57):
so they can attribute that Vega.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Because you scan all.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Your way out, scan your way back, any damage is
attributed to that particular driver. There there's there's no freedom anywhere,
any any place.
Michael, my knuckle tattoos say g U b R. What
do yours say?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Uh G?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And then two little o's on the next one on
the middle finger, and then b R.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Goober, goober. I'm in a little.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's kind of rainy and dreary out this morning, and
a lot of you are probably you know, you're you're
still laying in bed. You can't decide whether you know
you're out from under the covers or not. It's a
little I mean, because it's humid, because it's wet outside,
even though it's like forty some forty one degrees, it's
(00:45):
a little chili outside. In fact, I brought a windbreak
around just in case it's, you know, raining when I
go back out. It was raining at the house this morning.
And then maybe if you some of you are on
the highway. Of course, idiots don't know how to drive,
you know, in the rain. And so my this is
because it's kind of a little dark and dreary, little
wet rainy that many of you are not quite really
(01:08):
awake yet. So I thought this morning we'd start out
the program with me doing a Dragon has no responsibility
for this at all, except he could cut off all
of the microphones in here, and then you would be saved.
But I thought it would be appropriate this morning, being
(01:29):
the good goober that I am and really caring all
about you, to wake you up.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Do I really need to do a preamp to strike
and just go ahead and turn both of those off
right now so that I have to save the lives
of all of the goopers that are listening right now.
I have turned off his microphone, so even though he
looks like he's about to speak, nothing is going to
come out. And I've also turned off his computer, so
if he decides to play anything over there, because I
have a feeling feeling, I don't know anything, but it's
(01:58):
just that there could be a Kamala cackle or did
she speak yesterday? Or something almost kind of lines, and
I'm just trying to save you right now, so see
you see, dare I turn those back on?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So I thought it would be appropriate to And he
thinks he's so smart and.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
He's still gonna go for it, and he just thinks.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He's so smart because sometimes, well I'd put it this way,
sometimes Dragon's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Just half ass right, not all right, but just half
aass right. Oh, please think of the children.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Don't do it, Michael, And just to show you that,
you know, being the.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Bad guys, don't do it.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Michael confers an advantage upon the Marxists that live among us.
They're all around you. I just sometimes think that nobody
has the audacity to compile it all together and bring
it to you so that you can realize that this
is out there.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
To do it now, I will.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I will confess that, for example, whether it's YouTube or TikTok,
Facebook x, whatever, that the algorithm which says frighteningly many
things about me, may feed you certain things. Because you know,
if if I were doing a show about pornography, which
kind of in a way this is kind of a pornography.
(03:24):
If I was if I were doing a show prep
on pornography every day, then my ex feed and my
Facebook feed, and I don't have a TikTok account, but
they would all be feeding me, you know, the highest
quality pornography or whatever kind of deprive of the that
I was into.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So this is uh.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I know that this is not everyone, but I think
it's certainly a good representations. As the liberal establishment endorsed
Black Lives Matter riots made obvious it includes political violence
and apparently there are a lot of people out there.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's just to make to show you why this is
personal to me. I was with a group of people
yesterday and we were standing around. We had had this
meeting and were standing around and I knew that a
couple of them and there were very, very liberal, and
I was looking at something on my phone before we left,
(04:29):
and they saw that had my podcast app sitting there
and they said, oh, what do you listen to? And
you know, I gave him some examples and they were like, oh,
you got to listen to this guy. And they gave
him the name of somebody which I've not listened to yet,
but I looked him up and he's a far lefty
Marxist economic professor and I did mark it because I'm like,
I really do want to hear what he had to say.
(04:51):
But he then said I'd really like to know what
you think about him, and I thought, okay, well I will,
and I said, you know, it's kind of interesting that,
you know, I know that this small group of people
are that we're on all sides of the political spectrum.
And they go, yeah, but I don't think any of
us are crazy, because there are just too many Trump
(05:14):
crazies out there, and I thought, well, do I say
anything or not say anything? I thought, well, I'll just
keep my mouth shut. But my guess is he might
even be on this edge of the political spectrum. I
give you Trump assassination videos because.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know that you know that, I know what we're
all thinking. Who's gonna do it? It can't be me.
I'm a dance teacher.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I got things to do.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Somebody's got to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I'm gonna take one.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
For the team because we're six weeks in.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I can't do four more years of this guy's I
don't give a fuck. You have to. I'm not asking
somebody do it already.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Please please, I'm begging you, somebody take one.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
For the team. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I cannot wait for the day that I wake up
and I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
See the headlines. I'm during a party. Everyone, you're all invited.
Everyone's invited.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I need someone to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Soon now, please, it's coming.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We're all gonna wake up one morning and roll over
and grab our phones, and that headline is gonna be
right there. It's gonna happen, and I can't It's.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Gonna be glorious, that's coming. Happy Friday.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
If you're going through it right now, I just want
you to think of the inevitable day, hopefully sooner than later,
that you wake up one morning and the sun is
running just somehow a little bit brighter.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You open your phone, breaking news.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
You hear chanting in the street, you hear sounds of celebration.
Everyone is elated. There's a feeling of relief going through
our society all because of this breaking news. I want
you to hold onto that feeling, because we know what's
gonna happen. It's just like a matter of what.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Someone just needs to do it. Someone just needs to
get it done.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
And I'm not usually pro doing it, but like someone
just needs to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Somebody doesn't do they're doing all right, you are Nike,
You're because you're not doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Do it, wo do it?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
When it happens.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
What are we going to do about vance?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Somebody needs to think ahead on that.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
I'm thank it.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
I mean you this messages for the cartel. We didn't
ask the guests. We don't want any problems with you. Honestly,
I was a big family of products in my twenties. Okay,
I had a lot of fun, but might I suggest
breaking the rules, get high on your own supply and
the man you're looking for. Lisa, sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue
(07:57):
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
The cam What what is that.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
You, Donald Trump? I can't wait till that day because
I'll be I'll be I'll be throwing a party. We
all know what that day is coming. We all know
what that day that I'm talking about is.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
If you support Donald Trump and you support the Republican
Party and you support Elon Musk, you're either a naughty
or a not sympathizer. And the only good Nazi is
a daynity. Remember, ladies and gentlemen. That is the most
important thing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I fear.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Somebody's got to do it and get it done quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Somebody's got to do it, and we.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Need to set up a GoFundMe for whoever does it
to make sure they have the absolute best commissary in there,
top notch noodles, top notch do Yodoranian shampoo, and hypothetically,
if you don't make it, after you do do it,
your kids kids kids will go to the top universities.
(08:59):
With the go fund me, we'll set up for you.
But somebody's got to do it and get it done quickly.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Isn't that fascinating.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I'm just thankful it wasn't a Kamal eclipse that I
was thinking that you were going to play.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So that's that's not as bad. That's not as bad.
So anyway, like I tell you, dragon is half ass right,
sometimes I was prepared for the worst.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So then the the other thing is there is And
you know, I'm sometimes a bad analogy guy. I just
sometimes not very good because I just like, because there's
too many esoteric things that we talk about, it's sometimes
hard to draw an analogy. But there's someone who's brilliant
at drawing analogies.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
And well, here we go.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
In fact, please allow me, friends to digress for a moment. Okay,
it's kind of dark in here when I'm asked for
show of hands. I saw that video from a couple
of weeks ago, the one of the l ephants at
the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You've not seen it, so that scene.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Has been on my mind. Everybody's asking me what you've
been thinking about these days? Well, you think you just
fell out of a coconut tree.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think she did.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
She goes on talking, but you've seen, you've seen the
video where the when the earthquake occurred. I forget where
it was now was the one in Thailand? I don't know,
but where the elephant circle to protect.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The young and she's San Diego. I think it was
it San Diego. Okay, san Diego. Yeah, it was San Diego,
because she was speaking in San Diego. That's right.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And she goes on to draw the analogy that that's
what we all need to do, because we all need
to circle around, we need to protect each.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Other because the symbol of the Republican Party, the elephant,
circled around the zone.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Right right, and we've so you know she's trying. But
I guess beyond just the bad analogy, because I guess
from her point of view that they all need to
circle around and maybe maybe maybe the baby elephant that
the Democrats want to protect is the person in the
(11:18):
other video that just needs to go do it. Nike,
You we're not talking about you, remember the guy said, no,
We're like, I'm not talking to you, but we just
need to just do it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You gotta just do it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And then I love the fact that one of them
wants to start to go fund me because they want
to make sure they have enough money for the very
finest commissary and then that maybe their kids can go
on to I don't know, maybe they could go on
to it, I think League school and be top Marxism,
you know, at Harvard, Yale, Princeton. I mean, maybe maybe
they could do that. But that's where we are on. Well,
(11:53):
isn't that kind of interesting that today is May first? Yeah,
so let's have our May Day breade. Let's let's get
the tanks and everything out and let's go. Let's go
driving down the twenty five and let's celebrate May Day.
Maybe we can get the Blue I've seen these videos
of Blue Angels practicing this.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
New a leron move that they do, which is pretty
pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But maybe we can have them fly over you know,
Denver and scare up the homeless or whatever and get
you know, scare all the illegal aliens. There's a lot
of things that can be done right now, lots of things.
So maybe she's talking about maybe the elephants gathering around
to protect you know, that person that's going to finally
do it. That's the world that we now live in now.
(12:37):
I find it interesting too that Kamala Harrison her first
major speech, by the way, which she was paid for.
I have not yet, I haven't done that much research,
but I'm kind of curious how much she got paid
for the speech. But it was in California. Now I
think she thinks that we all think that she's running
(12:58):
for governor of California. But it's been made very clear
in articles about this speech that she is still keeping
her mind open to run for the presidency again.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I'm thinking, wow, just wow. So so the slip
back again to the assassination.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Videos, there was one there was one person in those
videos that was kind of impressive. They were thinking ahead, like, Okay,
if we finally do it, is anybody thinking about what
we do with vans because we still got vans out there,
so we need a two forer we need a Bogo
(13:40):
by one get one. That's what we need. Among the
assassination crowd is by one get one. So this is
it's dreary out this morning, but I thought this this
would be a good way to just kind of wake
everybody up and give everybody a kind of a feel
good today that as you're walking around and you're you know,
(14:00):
maybe in your office building, you're in the grocery store
or dragon if I got a grocery store story for you. Uh,
as you're doing going about your business today, maybe you're
teaching somewhere. Just remember those people, including the people that
paid to go listen to Kamala Harris give you an
(14:22):
elephant analogy are which is kind of interesting because drag
and drive, I mean, the symbol of the Republican Party.
And yet we were protecting ourselves. We were protecting ourselves
because we're all gathering around trying to protect Donald Trump
from that crazy people are on TikTok weo were trying
to assassinate them and hoping they get a really good commissary.
And I also like the one that was addressing the cartels.
(14:45):
You know, I just want you to know because when
when you're addressing a group and you're you're you're giving
a speech to a group, as she was to the cartels,
you want to you want to build a connection like
I always want to have a relatable connection with with
you goobers. And she was brilliant in hers She said,
I want to speak to all the cartel members. You know,
(15:06):
I know your product. In fact, I used in my twenties,
I consumed your product. So you know, she's developing a connection.
And so now I'm asking you, as a former user
of your products, that you now need to go to.
And I think she was the one that said specifically
sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
So you go, get out of your cocoon.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Pay attention, because all around you are people just like that,
just like that driving you hear my grocery store story.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh sure, something to wash our mouths out.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
So I go to King.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Supers yesterday, the one over by me, and I only
buy I see, I have four things in my little
mini cart. And then I have I because when I
spoke at the University Chicago, they give you a swag bag. Well,
I took the swag bag, you know, the canvas bag,
(16:02):
and threw it in the back of my beamer because
I thought, I'm thinking tired of sometimes tamer that says
we stopped at the grocery store. I really am tired
of just the whole like, you know, using the paper
bags and stuff, and they're just crap. So I thought, well,
you know what, I'll just I capitulated. So I throw
that in the cart and then I pick up my
(16:23):
four items, go to the self checkout and I scan
and put them on there. Scan, put them on, scan,
put them on, and then I'm done. And so then
I hit pay now, and the minute I touched pay now,
the screened froze came up with a pop up said
that help is on the way.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And I'm like, I mean, I'm truly thinking, what the
hell for?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What for?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
And I'm and then I'm getting irritated because help's not
on the way. Help, you know, I finally have to
get someone's attention. And I'm looking, Okay, all the all
the items are scanned, there's nothing here. I just I've
got my credit card in my hand. I'm just ready
to tap it. I've put in my alternate ID, you know,
so I can, you know, so I can track when
I purchased and you know, give me my fuel points
(17:12):
and all of that. And then this guy comes over
and he just puts his little you know, he scans
his employee card.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And and I, you know, me, can't let it go.
I'm like, why why did you do that? Why? Why
did it? Why did it happened there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Why why all of a sudden when I've done everything
properly did it? And he starts to explain it to me.
And as as the machine is as the screen is resetting,
I see for a couple of seconds, I see me
on the screen. I see a screenshot of me. Now
(17:57):
it's not full on face because I'm looking down the screen.
But there's a camera above the self checkout that is
filming everything I'm doing. And I say, what's that? And
(18:19):
he goes on to explain several things to me. Wait
till I tell you exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
What that was.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
So, Michael, they got rid of the checkers for self checkout,
but someone has to be reviewing all those videos of
us checking out to see if we're taking anything. How
much are they paying those people instead of the checkers.
How much money are they really saving? Can they run
the videos at one point five or two time speed? Interesting?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Oh, the video story gets even more interesting with those videos.
I'm sure it's straight up just AI. So they're looking
for something that looks like a candy bar not getting
scanned and put into the bag. So I don't think
anybody is physically watching those screens. It's just a computer
program going, hey, flag this, and then the attendant will
(19:21):
come by scan their code, look at the video and go, yeah,
you stole that, and then you know, or make you
pay for it or scan it again or fix the
problem or whatever. So nobody's sitting in King Soupers headquarter
watching that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
So for me, I'm now I now realize. And I didn't.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I didn't argue with the guy because of what he
said to me, which said, oh you and I aren't
exactly the same wavelength. But I do want to draw
it to me. Kingsoper's self checkout has become the TSA
of grocery store because the guy. So, the guy walks over.
(20:04):
So so to just reset the topic, I I I
bought four items, two of one and then two other
separate things.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Four items, and and I had my university.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
You can fully admit that you bought two tubes of
preparation h it's fine. Well after yesterday I had two, yes,
I was, I was all out, and some ice cream
truck and some of Nancy Pelosi's fancy expensive ice cream.
That's exactly preparation age and ice cream. What more do
you need in life than that?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Tamar came back exactly so, so I I I scan
the items and I hit you know, pay now credit card,
and that's when the pop up says, oh, help is
on the way, and I'm standing there like an idiot,
like I when I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Want any help. I didn't ask for any help. I
look around, like, did.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I like a I forget to put something on the
you know, on the little bagging area, and no, everything's.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Fine, nearest I could figure is because this has actually
happened to me where I'm just trying to scan relatively
quickly moving things from hand to hand to hand to hand. Yeah,
and then it has flagged me and gone, you know,
shown me the video of me moving my unpurchased items
over the bagging area.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of course, you're the only person I know who can
move his hand that fast.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
So.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Nobody can see that. That's that's funny. That's funny. You're
the only one that can move with that fast. And
so I'm thinking you just didn't scan something quote unquote.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
So that's why I'm surveying my little environment, like what
did I What did I do wrong? Because it immediately
made me feel guilty like I did something wrong. Help
was on the way, of course, then help was not
on the way. So I'm standing there, you know, and
I'm and I'm pissed because now the whole purpose of
self checkout has now been defeated, right, it's now been
(22:00):
defeated because I could have already been on my way.
So I'm looking to read. I got my head up
like a check and you're like looking around, like where
you know, where's somebody. This guy finally sees me. I'm
guessing he's somewhere between thirty and thirty five years old,
and he walks over. He scans his little employee card
and then up pops a screen shot and I realize
(22:25):
that I look up.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I mean I literally look up at the ceiling.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
And realized for the first time I didn't maybe they've
been there for a long time, but I didn't pay
me attention, and I realized I'm on candy camera, and
I'm instantly pissed off. And then I look down again
at the and I hear him mumble something, and it
was a mumble like he's irritated, and he goes, damn job, yeah,
(22:55):
and then he resets and he goes, you're good now,
and I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait a minute,
what what And now I'm kind of mad that I
said it. This way, but I think I said something
to the fact, what did I do wrong?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like why did it do this? And he he said,
I think.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's and he kind of looked over my shoulder and
I looked and I said, you're kidding me. My canvas bag,
my little swag bag from the University of Chicago, is
laying in the cart.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And I remember seeing.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
When I looked on the screen shot, I can see
that because I could see everything. Oh, the artificial intelligence
or whatever algorithm they're using detected as something was in
the cart, and I said, is it that? And he goes, oh, yeah,
(23:50):
And I said, I find this so irritating, and then
he kind of did the kind of the side eye,
like looking around to see if anybody was around, and
then he just dumped on me. I mean he dumped. Now.
Now you know, I was in a hurry to get
out because I was also going dragon. Just so to
(24:11):
give some context to this, I had parts so that
I could stop at the Crumble Cookie so that I
could have a crumble cookie at home when Tammer got home,
because I was going to get a chocolate chip cookie
so that we could split a chocolate chip cookie after
dinner last night, so I was kind of in a
hurry for that, but I'm like, no, now I'm intrigued
(24:32):
because I want to hear the story. And he goes, yeah,
we put these cameras in because so many illegals his
term were stealing was they were stealing stuff. And I
was kind of like in Iaven's ranch. And he goes,
oh yeah, he says, you wouldn't believe they would come
in here. They would they would scan you know, a
(24:52):
few items, you know, maybe ten dollars worth of items
or so, and then they would you know, check out,
throw that in their cart, and then they would drive away.
So the cameras are now in place to see whether
or not you're scanning everything. And he didn't use the
term artificial intelligence, but I think that's what it is.
The AI is is kind of looking. The algorithm is
(25:13):
looking to see if there's stuff in the cart. Once
you hit you know, you're ready to go, is your
cart empty or not? And so I did say at
that point, so my bag, it might the bag that
I brought in because I can't I don't want to
pay pay ten cents for your cheap ass paper bags.
Because now he and I are very animated with each
(25:35):
other because he's pissed off because he's having to you know,
come over and and city.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
He's actually having to do his job. What he's mad about.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And he's mad about having to do his job because
illegal aliens are stealing stuff, and he's mad because there's
illegal And this is just a glorious moment because I'm
pissed because I've I've been caught on camera ostensibly trying
to steal something, which is right, trying to steal my
own bag, which I'm forced to bring because of the
damn Democrats put a bag fee in. And then King
(26:03):
Supers realizes that they get they can't provide plastic bags,
so now they provide the cheap paper bags that don't
have a handle, so the paper bags don't really do
any goose. Now you've got to gather up the paper
bags and hold them, you know, around your chest to
carry them out. So we're both just mad at the
whole situation, all the circumstances. But I was I was
(26:25):
flabbergasted about how open he was about illegals, the term
illegals and stealing stuff, and it just it just irritates
the fire out of him, and he has to do
that quite often, because you know, I'm sure that now
Tambra buys enough groceries. I doubt Tamra ever goes through
(26:46):
the self checkout, because she's just when she buys grocery,
she buys too much stuff. So I'm sure that she
leaves her canvas bags in the cart and then the
checker probably just hands them over to the bagger if
they're if there isn't even a bagger, and so it
doesn't do it other places other than the self checkout.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's the world we now live in.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And as Dragon I were talking to the break Dragon
was like in Highland's ranch, and I said, when you
think about it, it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, just drive fifteen minutes out of your way, and
you've got an easier target.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
An easier target. Now, I imagine that King Soopers would
try to stop somebody. Maybe not, I don't know, but
at least they got bad enough that now we're being
we're being checked wherever we go.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Was there an officer checking receipts on your way out? No,
there was none of that.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
But that's also the King Supers that now has. When
you come in, it has the gates that open so
you can't go back out that way, which is also
irritating because I've actually gone into that King Supers before
looking Tamer said hey, I need you to get X,
and I go in in there out of X. So
now I gotta walk back around through the self checkout,
and of course they all look at you when.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
You walk, because that's not suspicious at all, somebody walking
through the self checkout and not doing anything, not anything right.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
So I'm sure maybe that will be the next step,
is we'll have a guard that will frisk you on
your way out because you came in the grocery store
and you didn't buy anything.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I get frustrated with the receipt checker because it's like,
I take the receipt, I crumble it up, I throw
it in one of the bags and I'm pushing the
cart and they're like, and you check your receipt. It's
like it's in there, good luck.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh good for you. And people think you and I
are passive progressive. I don't know where they get that idea,
but that's brilliant. I got to remember that one next
time I'm at Sam's or Costco. Yeah, that's boom, that's
going into the it's in.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
There so your King Supers are safe. Way you've got
a receipt checker. Uh huh wow. And it's it. It's
somebody with a badge.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
I don't know if it's an actual police officer or security,
just a King Super's badge, you know, sowing on or something,
but yeah, it did somebody.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
See this, this is government replicated itself in the private sector.
It's it's TSA, it's kobookie security.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
If it's just you know, if if it's just me, y'all,
I'll crumple it up and throw it. But if it's
you know, missus Redbeard is with me, and I try
and be a little nicer, I like, all right, yah,
well you go.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You know, I just have a sneaking suspicion that you're
being overly cautious because knowing Missus Redbeard like I do,
I'm surprised that she wouldn't be fully supportive of that.
I just think you might want to try that sometimes
with her, yeah, because I think next time she'll be like, damn,
(29:40):
I'm married, no wonder I married this guy, and then
she's gonna do it the next time. Now to follow
up on that, I've got some good news on the
other side of this break.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
You know, Michael, I am just over being inconvenienced and
treated like a criminal because of the illegals in this country.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
They're so frustrating. Deport them.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Maybe if you get on TikTok and do a deport
you know, get get the whole algorithm going about deport them,
deport them.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I mean, if they if they can.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do TikTok's about assassinating Trump and Vance. You know, somebody,
somebody's gotta do it. Somebody's got to do it.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
And let's not forget to mention that, you know, they've
got some of like the vitamin counters and the pills
and everything, the tile halls and the aspens, those are
locked up, along with the detergents. Those are all locked up.
I'm done purchasing those items there. I'll buy that crap
on Amazon. I don't care if it's a little bit
more expensive.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I forgot to mention that's the other thing that the
guy said to me, because I'm telling you this was
a complete data dumb of everything this guy's brain about
what he was pissed off about illegal aliens and everything.
That's how it's changed our society. Because then he swerved
in to just be glad that a lot of stuff
here is not yet locked up, as he says, that's
(31:01):
the next step.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, that the safe way by me.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
All the vitamins and tylenols and aspirins are all locked up,
as well as the detergents. And it's like, nope, nope,
I'm not I'm not dealing with that. I'll have it
delivered to my house for just a few pennies more right.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah there. I mean, everybody's screwing themselves, yep.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
And we're screwing ourselves because to the talk back point,
we kept allowing this to get think think about think
about during the four years that you and I were
here doing Biden and literally we would talk about literally
hundreds of thousands of people coming into this country illegally,
and everybody just that by and just watched it happen.
(31:40):
And now while Trump's trying to fix it and reverse that,
which he's obviously reversed the numbers coming across, but now
pushing them back out is going to take a long time,
and he's being fought every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Now, I said I had some good news, but I
have better news. And the better news is you? Holy crap?
Old of do I love it?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You know?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Can you turn my microphone off? Because I don't want
them to hear what I'm about to say.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
All right, your microphone's off so nobody can hear. Now,
You're good, right there, right, because I.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really do have to admit that I'm Dragon. Don't tell them,
but I really do love this audience. Nobody will believe
you anyway.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Oh my god, there, and you talk about you and
I are just amateurs when it comes to passive aggressiveness.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, a couple of these are really good.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Oh my gosh, listen to this one. This is Nuber
fifty eight to eleven, Michael Dragon. I do something similar
with Miking super Security guard your TSA guard. After I
do the self checkout, I had to leave and security
will say, do you have your receipt ready to check?
And my and my response, this person writes, is no,
(32:53):
but I have plenty of extra time on my hands
if you want to accompany me to the manager's office
so we can review the film with my purchase and payment,
shall we? And the response is always pause, No, you're good. Yep, man,
I've got to try that one one time. Let's see now, Well,
(33:16):
you know it sucks to be Fort Collins, but forty
four to sixty seven here in north Fort Collins, we
have had the gates, the cameras, and the receipt checkers
for a while. Now, well, it's because you don't live
in hoity toity Highlands rants like I do. We're just
slowly getting them.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
See.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
But up in Fort Collins, you know where the college
students and the illegal aliens are stealing everything. Well, you've
had them for a long time. Let's see, Michael and Dragon,
it's Sam's and Costco. They can insist on checking receipts
because you sign up for a membership. That sounds about
right now, It sounds right, But I would challenge you,
(33:51):
and I don't want to do the work, So I'm
gonna ask you to do the work. Go read the
terms of service the toss for your Costco or Sam's
membership and see if that's in the terms of service,
because my guess is it is not.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
The other thing I would.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Add is there was a story my Wall Street Journal
recently that I think it's Sam's, and it may be
Walmart two I'm not sure, but one of the one
of the big warehouses is going completely. There will still
be workers in the buildings, but they're going completely.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
No checkout.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
You have to you have to have the app and
you have to scan everything and then you walk through
like there is a you need to ask your son
about this. Saw video yesterday about Amazon trucks. When they
go back to the warehouse, they have to drive through
a scanner that checks for any damage to the vehicle
(34:57):
so they can attribute that Vega.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Because you scan all.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Your way out, scan your way back, any damage is
attributed to that particular driver. There there's there's no freedom anywhere,
any any place.
