from, you know, what? From our salutation,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (01:23):
you say our

Law Smith (01:26):
when I didn't say it for a while, you would get upset
and made me sit.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (01:29):
Did mess up my rhythm? I don't know
why, what, but

Law Smith (01:33):
everybody's kind of some sort right? Yeah, but
variety is the spice of life.You God, let's start What are
you talking about?

Unknown (01:46):
Variety is the spice reading shit off of coffee mug
somewhere or coffee

Law Smith (01:49):
I went to Home Goods before I went here. Ooh, that's
good. I

Unknown (01:53):
might use that.

Law Smith (01:54):
I just saw one, you know, a couple. Lift, laugh,

barefoot on the beach.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:07):
Oh, yeah, you know that would be the
last frame photo. Yes,

Law Smith (02:11):

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (02:13):
Think I put it in neighbors, room over

Law Smith (02:15):
bed. Oh, man, that pretty sure I can't Yes, and
that when No, You went to, Iwon. You went to no man's land.
Well, nothing, yeah, I knowthat's not true, because she's
not a fan of me. So, oh, do youhave the story? Do you have the

(02:36):
story she did of us, the gay so,no,

Unknown (02:40):
I don't. And she used to do it no, so she started to
read it. I was like, no stop. I

Law Smith (02:47):
sent Eric a an AI, the remedy app has this thing
where you can have a picture oftwo people and it'll make them
hug. And I thought it would befunny to find two shirtless
pictures of me and make me hug.And it looks so weird and
creepy. I'm like, There's no waythey do this thing. Well, with
this app, they're just like, oh,because I got a new iPhone, and

(03:07):
guess what? You can pretty muchdo everything that app does now
on iPhone. Then really, yeah,there's a lot of like, picture
quality stuff, like upscaling,whatnot. And so I was gonna say,
so you fired back with the evenbetter one that your daughter
wrote in a story about us too.Yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (03:26):
she and it was, it was long, first
of all, like you started to readit, she's like, do you want to
hear the AI love story I wroteabout you? Line? I was like,
Okay. And then she started to goon. I was like, oh, no, this is
too well written to not end in avery gross some there's
something that is gonna creep meout forever, right? I'll be

(03:47):
forever her, and it's, it'll beindelible. Oh, and I made her
stop. I was like, nope. She'slike, I took out the part when
you were kissing. I'm like, Oh,thank God.

Law Smith (03:59):
See, I'm a pretty visual I'm a pretty visual guy,
but I feel like I would laugh ifI've visualized whatever she's
reading off what like to me,this is cartoonish because it's
so bro, we're straight as hell,bro. Yeah, I'm out of your
league that that may be true. Idon't know this, not how you yes

(04:23):
and it you can't, but you can'thandle this ass. I mean, this is
a power bottom ass. No, I

Unknown (04:27):
don't want that. It's too much ass. You

Law Smith (04:29):
ever dated a girl with too much ass?

Unknown (04:31):
You sure about that?

Law Smith (04:32):
I dated a girl with a fake butt, and I was like, I
don't know if I like this. Thisis too much. Five foot. Yeah. It
was like,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (04:40):
that must be such a weird feeling,
like you're riding around on aphone book all the time.

Law Smith (04:45):
Well, I was like, it's cool. I mean, cool trick. I
don't know if I have enoughdick, though, that was the
problem. Yeah, that's like,that's why brothers like the big
asses. Yeah, it's all geometry,if you're really breaking it
down,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (04:59):
say it louder. So my daughter can
hear you. Oh,

Law Smith (05:05):
I think I also think anything we say in here, if they
can actually hear it is prettythey don't. They were like,
like, doesn't matter. Whateverwe say, not cool, yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (05:15):
it does the dad effect, it works,
yeah. Oh, man, you know I gotstuff to talk about. You got you
know? Oh, yeah,

Law Smith (05:25):
oh, whoa, okay.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (05:27):
Big day. Big day on Capitol Hill.
What happened on Capitol Hill?It was a UAP disclosure hearing
thing. UAP is united side,anomalous, nominal that was
okay. Used to be aerialphenomenon. They changed it

(05:48):
again because they got boots.Now

Law Smith (05:51):
I'm suspect of the rebranding of things like that.
You know UFO for for seeminglyno reason, but, right? But like,
Is it, is it to kind of keep youoff the scent as well, for sure?
Yeah. I mean, like, ISIS, ISIL,yeah. I mean, like, that's way

(06:12):
too close, dude. It's like atrans person going, my name
isn't, my name isn't Patriciaanymore. It's Patrick. And
you're like, that's, that's toomuch. Yes,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (06:24):
I there's, that's, without a
doubt, been a thing, and that'spart of what they talk about. I
don't remember exactly. I

Law Smith (06:29):
never thought you would say yes to that metaphor.
Yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (06:35):
because no, there's, there was four
guys. I'll give you the rundownreal quick. Four guys. It was
Tim Gallaudet. It was a RearAdmiral in the Navy. That's what
I'd be. Lou Elizondo, who wasthe guy who wrote the book, who,
by the way, you know, I told youabout the book and how it was,

(06:57):
like, the way I put it was, hewas like, kind of self vetting,
and it's like, oh, he's a shill.It's like, well, yeah, like,
There's no way around that,because everything he put in his
book he cleared through theDepartment of Defense, right?
So,

Law Smith (07:12):
and you can get sued if anything with other people.
Is it like, if you publish abook, you do in anybody else's
in it that's in real life, Oh,yeah. You have to get it run
through with lawyers to makesure, yeah, because you'll get,
you'll get hit quick, which

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (07:29):
is what's really weird about all of
it. Because, like, thegovernment said he they, they
told him you can say thisliable. So it's just like, yeah,
libel, yeah. But like, peoplelike, Oh, it's a conspiracy. No,
it's obvious. That's what he'sdoing. Like, he's telling you,
like everything, but like, healso worked on these programs
and shit, and they asked himquestions, and he's like, I

(07:50):
can't tell you that here. Andthen they have you to tell me,
in a skiff, a secured somethinglike a room, oh,

Law Smith (08:00):
a dumb, a dumb, like device room. Well,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (08:04):
yeah, I mean, it's basically like a
bunker that you can't get, like,cell phone signals, radio and
nothing gets through, like youleave your phones out. Yeah,
that's when they do their secrettalk,

Law Smith (08:15):
secret time. And then they had Michael

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (08:18):
Sullenberger, journalist who broke UFO shit I
like there. And this other guy,I don't remember his last name
is gold. I never heard of thisguy, but let's see what I gold
Jerry,

Unknown (08:35):
say that there are good and bad of whatever these things
are. And so my concern, from anational security perspective
is, is a that was all that. Andsee, I think moving forward in
regards to technology, Mr. Gold,if you can answer this real
quickly, some of these aircraft,it seems that they are operating
off of energy that we don'tcurrently have. But just yes,
no, in your opinion, we wereable to that impact humanity for

(08:58):
the better would certainly save
us some money on funding onArtemis, and this is a national
security issue, that there issuch technology out there. We're
not the only country that mighthave access to it. We don't want
to be on the wrong end oftechnological surprise. Okay,
thank you guys for your time.
All right, I will now recognizeMr. Garcia for five minutes.

(09:19):
Thank
you, and I apologize forstepping out. Of course, the

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (09:22):
timestamps

Law Smith (09:27):
are always the worst speaker though, like, oh, I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (09:30):
can talk about just like the fucking
back and forth shit is just soridiculous. Thank you, Mr.
Housewives, and Thank you ViceChair sounds like say thank you
to all of you. It's like in

Law Smith (09:42):
a renaissance fair.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (09:43):
Oh, it's ridiculous. He's like,

Law Smith (09:44):
Mr. Feeny, Mr. Matthews

Unknown (09:49):
testimony today a government work on the UAP
subject still remainsclassified. Excessive secrecies
led to grave misdeeds againstloyal civil servants, military
personnel in the public. Lookall to hide the fact that,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (10:01):
Okay, let's listen to JFK file.

Unknown (10:03):
Bober, no, ma'am,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (10:05):
this chick pops off.

Unknown (10:06):
It's about 5% of our ocean. That's actually,
I love her. Oh, you'll love
her even more now she's the onewho gave it handy. And
we've studied more of space thanwe had of our own oceans. And so
are there any accounts of UAPsemerging from or submerging into
our water, which could indicatea base or presence beneath the

(10:26):
ocean's surface. Look

Law Smith (10:27):
at that. Hand move. I

Unknown (10:28):
don't know about a base, but you know, as I
mentioned, I had a differentsource entirely described this
pretty extraordinary footagethat exists of orbs, of an orb
coming out of the ocean andbeing met by another orb,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (10:39):
by the way, on Netflix. George
Knapps, investigation alien,they caught a fucking orb go
from the air down into thewater.

Law Smith (10:53):
I thought we were working with Doritos.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (10:56):
There's orbs, Doritos, Fritos, you name
it. All the chips are up there.They're all on the table.

Law Smith (11:03):
I saw a picture of, I think it was a Sports
Illustrated from like, 2003 ortwo with the clippers on it. La,
clippers, I tell you, we used tosay this where I live with
Brendan T Gleason, like you'dsee someone's head shot during a
football game or something, andyou just go, That guy, it looks
like he says, Doritos, I don'tknow. Okay, the question before

(11:28):
this.

Unknown (11:28):
Thank you, Madam Chair. Now that we have cautioned in
this committee hearing,Pentagon's immaculate
Constellation program could up,by the way,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (11:38):
she's so dumb she mispronounces
immaculate confidence on a

Unknown (11:44):
list. Well, Colorado, I already find myself on many
lists, I'm sure. So I speak mymind often. So why not just keep
going with it? May as well justgo all out and say it, the earth
is flat. Birds are governmentdrones, and we've never sat on
foot on the moon, and Joe Bidenreceived 81 million votes in the

(12:05):
2020 election. Oh, so I like tosee how many, how many lists we
could get on here today. But Mr.Shellenberger, I

Law Smith (12:12):
wanted to ask you fuck so awesome probably, I

Unknown (12:15):
think I understand from this hearing that you would
agree that classifyinginformation like this is not in
the best interest of the people.Is that correct?
Yeah. I mean, with the COVIDThat, of course I, you know, I
would support classificationnecessary to protect secrets,
essential national security. Butit's pretty obvious that there's
over classification,
over classification. Yes. And soin most instances, if they can't

(12:38):
tell us, what do you think atsome point, they'll at least
tell us why.
You know, President elect Trumphas repeatedly committed to
greater transparency, both onthe UAP issue, on JFK files, on
COVID origins and many of thethings. So I think that we need
to make sure that the nextadministration is held

(12:58):
accountable
for that agreed, and this is forall four yes or no, please. I
have many questions I want toget.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (13:03):
This is the part that I was looking
for too.

Unknown (13:06):
Are there any known instances of recovered materials
or technical technologies thatare not of human origin and
maybe connected to any advancedbio, bio science defense
programs within the USG,
I don't know.
I wouldn't be able to answerthat. Ma'am, I

(13:26):
don't know. I
don't know. Maybe this wasn'tthe part.
Okay, so there are kill of asecretive project within the
Department of Defense involvingthe manipulation of human
genetics with what is describedas non human genetic material,
potentially for the departmentof human capabilities, hybrids.

(13:50):
Are any of you familiar withthat? Yes or no,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (13:52):
she just asked about alien hybrid.
So she's she is going all out,like, what do we got? So, man,

Unknown (14:00):
I am not ma'am,
just I'm not. She's

Law Smith (14:01):
your dream.

Unknown (14:03):
Okay, I would like to know, with immaculate
constellation, how does thisrelate to UAP activities, Mr.
Schellenberg, in oceanicenvironments, are there any
instances where the navy orother marine time forces have
marine time. He's that could notbe. I

Law Smith (14:24):
didn't catch that. Maritime I didn't catch that. If
you didn't say anything, I wouldhave gotten it. I wouldn't have
gotten it. Yeah, I went to her,her vocational school.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (14:34):
It's just crazy when you speak with
confidence, I just get away withit. Oh, yeah, you're violating
marine time law, sir, well,explained

Unknown (14:42):
by known technology or natural phenomena. Yeah,
the Magna constellation coversboth terrestrial and oceanic,
and there's actually a number ofcases described in the report
that occur in the ocean. And do
you believe that there is aconcerted effort by the Pentagon
to keep Congress out of theloop? Regarding these UAP
activities specifically in ourwaters. Yes, I think it's about

(15:04):
5% of our ocean that's actuallybeen studied in,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (15:08):
okay, we heard that part, but yeah,
man. I mean, it's a lot of,like, I didn't really
necessarily hear anything new,but it went on the record. Yeah,
you know, it's a big deal. Like,

Law Smith (15:22):
does that mean, though? I mean the record.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (15:25):
Well, the next step is, I'm

Law Smith (15:28):
just going to keep looking at our screen, pushing

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (15:31):
the, you know, they have this arrow,
organization, government,organization that's supposed to,
like,

Law Smith (15:38):
what does it stand for?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (15:40):
It's an abbreviation for all domain,
anomalous resolution office, whohad been just like burying all
this shit. Do

Law Smith (15:52):
you think they make the abbreviation for that like
the the abbreviated word firstand then how to figure it out?
Or vice versa?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (16:00):
No, I just think that that's just
like a weird military governmentbonus thing that they all have
to, like, have an abbreviationthey can say, right? You know,
what? Does SecDef think aboutit? But

Law Smith (16:11):
look, this has been my thing with finance ever since
I worked at a mutual fundcompany in oh six. I'm like, I
think this is deliberatelyabbreviated like shorthand, so
that it's so much harder tobreak into that world and
understand what's actually goingon. Yeah, that's like Wall
Street definitely. Yeah, youdon't have a CDO default swap

(16:35):
option. Listen,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (16:36):
we got to get those IPvs out right.

Law Smith (16:41):
Nadivias IPO is gonna about to happen.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (16:44):
Divya, thanks. Representative, overt,

Law Smith (16:47):
I got lost in her. I do like that look. I do love a
chick and, like, a businessysuit. That's, yeah, if I don't
have any kink or any of that,but like, that's as or fetish.
That's as close as again, yeah.Like, I love good I think we
political business ladies,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:04):
but I think we just like that. It
looks like they make money. No,

Law Smith (17:07):
I think it's like, no, I the hot nerds always been
my number one. There's no waylike she was the coolest. She's
definitely

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:19):
already insufferable, right?

Law Smith (17:21):
And she just plows, I don't even think she's
listening. She seems like achick that would talk and you
would answer, and she's not evenwaiting. She's on the thing
already,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:29):
right? That's why she's a congress
person,

Law Smith (17:32):
right? Our government cares about this. All of them,
Hey,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:36):
today was progress. They made some
progress. And people, you know,

Law Smith (17:40):
I just don't, I don't know whatever comes of these,
these hearings, right? Never

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:44):
happened before. So they had one. They
had one where David gross says,Yes,

Law Smith (17:50):
we found so bring some credibility. Biologics with
the spacecraft, and nobody gavea shit. I guess it brings some
public credibility to the table,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (17:59):
right? It's the only way they can do
it. It's like they just have todo this spoon feeding bullshit
until something gives and you're

Law Smith (18:06):
kind of hoping this is one stepping stone to the
next, you know, to getting moreawareness, I guess. Well,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (18:13):
the one of the closing statements by
somebody or questions was like,How can we have more
whistleblowers come forward andshit like that, but like,

Law Smith (18:22):
let's stop calling them whistleblowers. That
doesn't sound good ever likethat can be a good thing. Well,
no matter what you're gonnasound you're snitching, no
matter it always sounds bad,though it's like truth teller. I
don't know exactly what I was

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (18:34):
just gonna say. That's weird, really.
Yes, that was gonna be either Ijust that's what I was gonna say
instead of but like, no matterwhat you got that,

Law Smith (18:45):
where's that? Ai love story called the synchronicity
effect,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (18:51):
man.

Law Smith (18:53):
So it brings validity, credibility, a little
bit more. It's one more thingfor your your militia, I don't
know what you call yourselvesbelievers. What do you mean
believers? You and your dorkgroup of people that love alien
stuff, Reddit, just call itReddit discord.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (19:17):
I'm not. I'm not a believer. Oh,

Law Smith (19:20):
I thought you're into the alien. You believe they're
there, they're they're like,here. They've come here.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (19:27):
It's not like, they're here. Oh,
they're

Law Smith (19:29):
here. Now, there's, I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (19:31):
mean, there's stuff flying around. You
can't explain there's too muchshit going on. So there's
something going on. I don't haveto believe in it. I objectively
see crazy shit happening aroundthe world. Anybody

Law Smith (19:43):
that doesn't both, I don't know, anybody that doesn't
believe like, that doesn't atleast leave it open ended like,
I

Unknown (19:50):
know some people do you Yes. You know
it was our former producer.Third. Mike, no, no, no. John
Paul, yeah. Uh, what? Well, I

Law Smith (20:01):
don't know he, he'll take a, he'll take a zag on
something. I'm like, what? Yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (20:04):
that's true, but

Law Smith (20:05):
not that. Remember the abortion debate we had? I
forgot, and I just kept askingjust basic questions. You're
like, Please stop. Please,please.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (20:15):
No, my point is, it's just like,
that was funny as shit to makeyou just look at, you know, just
if you want to know about it,look it up. And there's plenty
of shit out there to find out.And like,

Law Smith (20:25):
I just, I guess I think about it like Game of
Thrones, like, it's a lot ofhomework. It to me, it's like, I
don't I think about trying toget into it and sift through
everything. And that part makesme not I get lazy right there. I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (20:42):
will tell you that it's already in an
alternate universe. I almostwish at this point I'm doing, I
did what you're doing, and justcome in at the last minute and
be like, Okay, so this is it.That's what it is, right? Okay,
that's another part, becausethere's what. Chances are it's
going to be something is told tous, it could be manipulated,

(21:04):
like it's also fucked already,like people good, like the
President could be like, we havealiens. I'm an alien. And did
people be like? I don't believeit. I don't believe that. I
don't trust the government. MarsAttacks. Nobody's like. Nobody
believes the truth doesn't evenmatter anymore. I choose to
believe what I believe. It'slike, okay, well, you know, so
it's kind of like, yeah,

Law Smith (21:26):
counter there's always going to be a counter
culture to whatever is outthere, right? Like, you know,
the flat earth thing is a verygood example. It's like, seems
overwhelming that it's not.There's overwhelming evidence
it's not, but it's right, youcan't trust science because you

Unknown (21:44):
don't blow this. I can't prove it. Well, yeah, you
for

Law Smith (21:48):
it's almost narcissistic, because it's like,
you can't trust anybody else'sbut like, you know, group think
of something that seems to bepretty, right? Pretty. There's a
lot of empirical evidence. Yeah,no.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:02):
I mean, as just these last couple
years, it's just been like, Idon't know much about anything
beyond what I can see and touchand feel in my face, right?

Law Smith (22:12):
Yeah, yeah. If I don't experience it, it doesn't
happen. Which, when I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:16):
did see that shit floating above it,
you know that one day I waslike, Okay,

Unknown (22:21):
that was bizarre. So like that did help. Don't get me
wrong, solidify things. Butanybody has an alien

Law Smith (22:27):
story, I want to hear it for sure. I want to know I'm
getting into conversation wisetoo. You know.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:33):
I think an important thing for all
this is ask yourself, what doesit benefit any of these people
to talk about it. What is thebenefit? Yeah,

Law Smith (22:43):
to me, it's something troll, and I don't know what,
what benefit I would gain bygetting ahead of it,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (22:52):
right? No, I don't mean you in
particular. I know peopleinvolved directly with

Law Smith (22:57):
it. I can see myself getting down this rabbit hole
too. I'm just saying, like,that's, that's, I was trying to
think of the cut point of like,it seems like a lot of work.
Anything is interesting, andI'll be mad. I don't actually, I
won't actually know, probably atthe end. Well, you know, for me,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (23:15):
it is kind of a fun

Law Smith (23:18):
hobby, passion.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (23:21):
Well, I was gonna say like, just like,
interesting, because it's like,you see these videos, it's fun
to see him be like, Oh, is thatreal? Why would that not be
real? You know, because it'slike, shit that you've never
seen before. So to me, that'swhat I find interesting. And it
doesn't have to just be UFOs. Ican send Bigfoots and all this
shit. Like, who knows at thispoint?

Law Smith (23:39):
Well, yeah, and then video is getting so good now
too, it's tough to really like,I I'm gullible for some stuff
that I'm like, I didn't know wasfake, you know?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (23:48):
Oh, yeah, sure. But I mean, you
know, I told you about that LasVegas alien footage. I think we
talked about that last time. Theguy verified it. And you can
see, it's bizarre. It's like,you see these, like, cloudy ant
people,

Law Smith (24:04):
cloudy ants. They're

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:05):
like giant,

Unknown (24:06):
not ants, just ants. Ant is

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:09):
Mantis beings peeking over. Yes, combo,
yeah, scientific. There's comebugs, just

Law Smith (24:18):
like Randy Queen, King Ben.

Unknown (24:21):
Oh yeah,

Law Smith (24:21):
there's shift line, and get out of here

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:26):
so we can keep talking about it.

Law Smith (24:28):
Well, I'll sidestep, how long have we been going? We
were tech power. I'll sidestep abit. We're not very political
show, because, you know, was abig thing that happened. Don't
well, we don't really care,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:46):
right? Which is weird, because I don't
know about you, like, after ithappened, I was kind of glad
Trump won. Oh,

Law Smith (24:56):
tell me more.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (24:58):
It felt like.

Law Smith (25:00):
I have a different reason, I bet. But yeah,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:03):
I get you okay, we'll see. It felt
like, if I have a bad kid inclass, sometimes it might be
good to give them a job to do.

Unknown (25:16):
So like, Sure, not double. Makes work for idle
hands that direct but I'm saying

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:23):
I almost you think I'm more
relieved that the side I feelcould be much more uproarious
doesn't have that reason to be,because in the end, I feel like
it's not going to be muchdifferent.

Law Smith (25:40):
That's a hot take. I haven't heard really No, not at
all original, original hot take.

Unknown (25:53):
I Some people call me cool Eric.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (25:56):
Let's see if the other Eric actually
uses it for

Law Smith (26:00):
I think it's the funniest outcome of the two, if
you're picking two, right?That's what I'm saying. Like, I
think it's the funny. I thinkit's funny. So funny wins in
this case. I don't think

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:13):
that's that's it. Um, I really thought
about it long and hard. I

Law Smith (26:17):
do have a theory that, okay, so second term is
different, right? Because you'renot trying to get reelected. I
think the first same as thefirst, no, I think that's
important. Because if you therewas that NPR thing a while back
on the podcast, This AmericanLife, when they were when NPRs
podcasts were good, like 2012ish, and it was talking about,

(26:40):
like everybody in office spendshalf their term trying to get
real,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:44):
half day two, right? But you start,
you start

Law Smith (26:50):
openly, be on their calendars, like they'll start
strategizing and stuff rightaway. But I'm saying like they
start physically campaigning.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (26:58):
No way they'll start, I mean, so

Law Smith (27:01):
that's, that's why Warren Buffett hates, like, he
has a really great letter about,like, look, this is a, you're
doing a service. This isn't,there shouldn't be a political
career for anybody.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:13):
Oh, there should absolutely be term
limits on the fucking shit,right? But you shouldn't

Law Smith (27:17):
be able to openly spend time while in office.
Yeah, do it on your weekends, ifyou want. But even then,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:25):
scary thing if he tries to pull an
FDR, something third term, well,

Law Smith (27:30):
I wanted so here's in style. Here's my best thoughts,
in a good way, in a positiveway, he's pretty old. He's lost
the step. You know, even hearinghim on Rogan, he's a little
slower, okay, right?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (27:45):
What on Rogan? I don't know. I mean,
I don't know if I rememberseeing him talk for three hours
straight, but

Law Smith (27:53):
I'm saying, like, I'm saying this tempo slow, like it
feels slower. Feels like age isstarting to get I mean, for
sure, he's old, been shot attwice, once at least, and then
three, three assassinationattempts. I guess there's a
recent one I want to say thatkind of got buried. There was
another one, I don't know. Ithink that got buried in the

(28:15):
news, probably, which is odd, ifit's the other way around, that
would be, we'd still be talkingabout it happened in July. You
know, for age by now, no, but, Imean, it would be like they'd
still be bringing it up anddissecting every piece of that
story. But since it's Trump andhe's such a repugnant person,
even Fox News is like, Yeah,we're good with it after day.

(28:37):
Yeah. I think in a positivelight. I think you're that old
second term so you can't get,you can't do it again. I think
he's, I'm hoping he's just gonnadisrupt a bunch of shit in,
like, an old man kind of crappyway, and like, gonna go out
flicking everybody off kind ofdeal. It's gonna take it to the

(28:57):
grave and be like, I don't careif you hate me, because maybe it
seems like that's already inmotion, judging by this is the
only thing I had prep for forthis podcast, was your boy,
Elon, you know, is one of theCabinet picks, and Vivek, and
they came out with, like theycame out with The statement, you

(29:20):
know about some of thestatistics about waste and
inefficiency in the government.Do you see this? No, I'm gonna
do Jay Leno. Do you see this?The CBO revealed at least 12 140
or 64 federal programs andbureaus have expired. Yet I lost

(29:43):
my spot. Yet they still haveexpired authorizations, but
still receive 516 billion infunding in 2020, 4b Oh, my God,
that is, that is wild. I saw, Ialready saw. RFK Jr, was like,
I'm gonna, okay, well,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:03):
hold on, I'm

Law Smith (30:04):
clearing house on the NIH,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:07):
I mean, oh yeah, that's, I mean,
probably should listen, if youthink about, to think about the
UFO aspect of things, okay,there's a part of it where they
talk about, you know, there's agood chance that there's human
humans have built some of thesethings and kind of reconstructed
them. So think about whateversort of economical benefits

(30:34):
these humans are getting, theseunknown humans probably
associated with defense contractcompanies and shit, running
around doing whatever the fuckthey want.

Law Smith (30:45):
Wait, what I lost? I lost this angle. There

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (30:48):
is, there's good evidence that
there's human made UFOs also,though they have reverse
engineered these things. Oh,really, yeah, I

Law Smith (30:58):
don't know about that. There's,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (31:00):
I've There's windows. The idea was
that they, like, handed shitover to the the defense
contractors. They reverseengineered it and started
anyways. Think about that,though, if you you wouldn't have
our own UFO. How do we makemoney off of that? There's a
business there somewhere. It'slike an app idea. But like, that

(31:24):
sort of power is just insane.And that kind of money, $516
billion just fucking out thefucking whatever

Law Smith (31:33):
the fuck. And we just gave more money to Ukraine. Oh,
they need in Israel. I thinkthat we, I don't know, it's

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (31:40):
all crazy. That's where I'm Buddy.

Law Smith (31:42):
There's more I don't want to hear. Wait, I want to
read it, because I it is kind ofimportant. When you see how much
like, like, a we owe a lot ofmoney as a country. Most people
are swimming in debt as citizenshere. And like, it's like, well,
I want to launch a rocketthrough it. We wouldn't mind

(32:04):
taxes if I tried to do the bidon stage, if I just got an
itemized receipt, right? Let uspick, oh yeah, or pick Yeah.
Okay. The GovernmentAccountability Office estimates
the federal government wastes240, 7 billion in taxpayer money
each year. Department ofTreasury reported 20 that's

(32:25):
based off

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (32:25):
of what report.

Law Smith (32:27):
This is the

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (32:30):
who made it. Here

Law Smith (32:33):
are some of the most insane statistics about the
waste and efficiency of the USgovernment.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (32:38):
My point is, did a government
agency make that report.

Law Smith (32:42):
Yeah, this is from, yeah. This is like, Oh, this is
from our boy Trump. Give memoney. This is from his office.
Even if it's somewhat true,

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (32:54):
it's, there's undoubtedly an insane
amount of numbers

Law Smith (32:57):
are probably inflated here, but it's still, I mean,
we're talking cartoonishnumbers, right?

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (33:03):
Oh, dude, there should not be one
person, at least in America,that should be have debt,
homeless, like there's so muchout there, and these
motherfuckers hide it. It'slike, now

Law Smith (33:15):
I gotta read all this. No, the Department of
Treasury reported 24 point 5billion in unreconciled
transactions in the past. In thepast, meaning it spent 20 5b on
unknown items didn't close outtheir bar tab. Department of
Agriculture employees misusegovernment issued credit cards,
spending millions on personalpurchases like concert tickets,

(33:37):
tattoos, lingerie and carpayments. 33.2 3.2 million was
spent on transgender monkeyresearch. You sure about that
monkey? NIH spent part of a 2.7million grant to study Russian

(33:59):
cats walking on a treadmill.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:05):
I mean, that's what they say. It's
for.

Unknown (34:07):
Look, it's believable.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:09):
It's believable. And

Law Smith (34:11):
then you talk to goats or Stare at Goats, and
yet, well, that's real, I know.But I'm saying like we will
spend money in some wacky ways.They still

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:19):
use remote viewing. The DoD ruined

Law Smith (34:22):
$170 million of military equipment by leaving it
outside.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:28):
Forgot where they left it. Left it
outside. Dude, no, it's bizarre,like they go to they like the
shit in Afghanistan. Ever seenwhat the Taliban military
parade, bro, they have all theshit we left there. Oh, and they
all figured

Unknown (34:46):
out how to use it. Yeah, that happened before. When
we gave them we like, oh man, wehelped him out.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (34:52):
We took the keys with us. Well, we
helped

Law Smith (34:53):
him out with Russia a long time ago. And then they're
like, sweet, thanks. We're gonnause these on y'all, yeah, or
Afghanistan. 20 years, the USagency of International
Development spent 6 million topromote tourism in Egypt. The
SBA, that makes sense, gave over$200 million to music artists
like Post Malone, Chris Brownand Lil Wayne through the COVID

(35:15):
paycheck protection program, wedidn't get any of that we're so
dumb for not doing that

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (35:23):
we could have. Well, at the time,
people were paying that shitback. Dude, at the time, I kind
of did, the

Law Smith (35:28):
US military bought soap dispensers for aircraft at
80 times the commercial price.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (35:35):
No this Independence Day, the dad
$200 toilet seat, $100 a hammer,whatever he says, You know I'm
saying, Yeah, I think behind theshit. And that's, I mean, I know
I sound crazy, but all thisstuff is all part of a whole
fucking other thing that isgonna have a lot to do with all

(35:58):
kinds of crazy money.

Law Smith (35:59):
Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (36:01):
think that's where the people should
be upset. I

Law Smith (36:02):
think this is the good angle, though. Oh, by the
way, all my liberal friends thatI was kind of joking with after
Trump got elected could not haveany sense of humor about it. I
have to, like, not talk to themfor a week. I was like, Dude,
relax. It was friend. I'll tellyou some off air. I can't
mention them right now, but it'slike, it's like, are you

(36:23):
serious? Do you really think allthis shit is gonna happen and
then get really personal withme? I'm just like, lighten up.
Oh, whoa.

Unknown (36:31):
Really what you're Yeah,

Law Smith (36:32):
oh yeah. I'll tell you, um, I think we're good,
man. I

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (36:36):
gotta hit it now. I gotta hear this. I

Law Smith (36:38):
gotta do a set. Okay? About pedophile hunters.
Pedophile hunters? What

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (36:50):
are they hunting for, like

Law Smith (36:52):
deer and then a celebrity pedophile hunt show.

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (36:57):
What do they hunt for, bears and
beers?

Law Smith (37:01):
Well, I guess that can sound like they're it's a
bunch of

Eric Readinger, Fractional CMO, Producer and Head Of Media (37:04):
creepy, yeah, but we gotta hurry up and
it before that. Or now,

Law Smith (37:08):
is that how you did it? Is that what you thought I'm
gonna.
