Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Red Pilled America. You're listening to part two
of fam Boogie. We're going to get into this very
heartbreaking Scott Adams announcement about his health and I guess
(00:23):
the silver lining if there can be a silver lining
and such a thing. All of you guys know Scott Adams.
I'm sure he's the famed Dilbert comic. He's also a
friend of this show. I use one of our I
guess not one of our earliest episodes. I think we
were about a year and a half in, but definitely
(00:45):
by far our most popular episode of.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
All time, definitely which I agree.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Let there be light.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He was also on an episode of fam Boogie.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
He was on an episode of different iteration. He was so,
I want to first just start off by hearing me
announce smith that he said the other day. This was
on Monday. This news came out on the heels of
the news of Joe Biden's diagnosis.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has, so
I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to
my bones. But I've had it longer than he's at it,
well longer than he's admitted having it. So my life
expectancy is maybe the summer. I expect to be checking
(01:33):
out from this domain sometime this summer.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's quite a big, big announcement, and I have to say,
really kind of brave. I have to say this, this
guy has the most incredible work ethic that I've ever
seen in a man. And I am somebody that works
quite a lot, but watching this guy. He films seven
days a week. He is constantly putting this show together
(01:59):
every morning on the Dot without fail. Seven o'clock in
the morning. He does his simultaneous sip with his coffee
with Scott Adams. Been watching it for years and years,
and he's kind of been like my Rush Limbaugh kind
of replacement, and he's been incredibly good to.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Our show, very very generous.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He just didn't need to He just did not need
to be. So when we thought about doing the show
was during the pandemic. Everything had shut down, and I
saw that he had a book that was out, and
so I thought, you know what, let's reach out to him.
So I just kind of threw a hail Mary. I
went onto LinkedIn and sent him a message on LinkedIn said,
(02:43):
hey would love to have you on the show. Didn't
hear back from him, followed up a couple of days later,
said we'd love to having the show. He got back
to me, he said, shoot me an email. Here shot
him an email, and I initially wanted to do a
show on his life, and that's how I conducted the interview.
And we started to talk about everything he goes through
his whole life, and he gets on a couple of
(03:05):
these events and one had to do with this evolution
prediction that he made in the nineties, and he said
that it was surprisingly out of everything that he's done,
it's been the most controversial thing he'd done to date,
and I really found it interesting and I started to
delve into that, and instead of doing his life story,
I delved into that story, which was basically the story
(03:27):
of the simulation. And I'm so thankful that we held
off from doing his life story because now we have
all that and we can do it. And I think
that silver lining is is that he's now told the
world that he's dying and that he's probably not going
to make it through the summer, and we have this
(03:50):
gift of telling him how we feel about him while
he's still alive. A few of us have that I.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Agree with that. Yeah, that's a big one. I certainly
I did not get to do that with my dad,
and that that stays with you. I think being able
to say goodbye and have closure is It's obviously never
easy when you lose somebody, but I think that that
does change things.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I wish Norm MacDonald would have done that. I know
I understand why people don't. Sometimes they don't want people
to treat them differently, but it just it's almost like,
you know, Pete Rose, He's never going to get to
feel of being inducted into the Hall of Fame and
to feel the accolades and to feel the love. And
now here you have Scott Adams and he's giving us that.
(04:34):
He's giving us that gift, and its somebody that I
don't think likes a lot of praise. So for him
to kind of do that, I think it was kind
of a big one.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Is there anything that doesn't go back to baseball for you?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I love baseball. So we did the show, We did
the simulation show, and like I said, it was by
far our most popular episode that we've ever done. And
this is him responding to that show at that time.
It is funny because so we put that show out there.
I don't even think I let him know that it
was out And then I get an email from a friend,
(05:09):
Joel Pollock, and I'll never forget it. I see the
email and it says, Scott Adams giving you guys praise.
He's praising your guys. He's praising Red Pilled America. Check
it out. And so I turned over to Scott Adams
show and this is what he had to say about
our show.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So something happened today that was a very big deal
in my life because it opened the door for me
to tell you the next thing I'm going to tell you,
and it was that there was a podcast by Red
Pilled America on iHeartRadio with Patrick Kurelchi I hope I'm
saying that right and his co host Adriana Cortelz Now
(05:47):
I tweeted this so you can you can take a
take a good Oh you should. You should just see it. Well,
you should listen to it. I should say you should
listen to This podcast is one of the best produced, written, directed,
performed the thing I've ever seen. I mean, it is
(06:09):
really high quality just as a production. So even if
you the content didn't interest you, and believe me, it will.
It's really interesting, the content is amazing. Part of it's
about me, which is part of the story, but it's
just really well done. So do yourself a favor and
listen to it.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So his prediction was basically that evolution will be debunked
in his lifetime. That's generally what the prediction that he made.
And say that in the mid nineties when his audience
was so heavily tech. You know, when I first was
introduced to Scott Adams, I was working in aerospace engineering
(06:50):
in the Manhattan Beach area and he was like a
pop icon there. People loved his comic. They pasted it
up all over the place. It was just something that
was just a mainstay there. And he was just kind
of witty and short and funny. And I got reintroduced
(07:11):
to him years later when the whole Maga movement started,
and he was like the first pop icon to come
forward and really kind of explain that Trump could win
in a way that made sense his kind of persuasion
technique and how Scott Adams is a trained hypnotist and
so he sees the way that Trump was delivering and
(07:33):
he said, this guy can win he's going to win.
He's the most persuasive politician I've ever seen. And he
made it okay to like Trump. If there's this guy
that's been around for decades, that's been you know, part
of this kind of very smart world of the engineering
world and the tech world that's coming forward and saying
this guy can win and he's smart and he's the
(07:56):
best politician that I've ever seen. It made it okay
to like this guy. And it was you know, so
you know, he started this coffee with Scott Adams. The
guy knows how to brand. He comes up with this
simultaneous sip intro. He has this kind of thing that
just becomes part of your ritual. And there's this really
(08:16):
kind of interesting clips that I've been seeing going around
on him, and this is one that I thought was
really a human moment. Scott Adams didn't have any biological children,
but he had step children from a marriage, and this
was him talking about kind of some of the most
important moments in his life. And maybe when you watch
(08:37):
this you might think that maybe he even got the
diagnosis by this time, and he's been kind of reflecting
on his life by this time.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You've got TikTok doing these videos for childless adults saying
how great their weekends are because I don't how many kids. Now.
I have two feelings about that. Number One, they're totally
right about how great their weekend is without kids. However,
I'll just speak for myself. There is almost nothing I
(09:07):
ever did as a single person, even if I was
in a relationship. There was almost nothing I ever did
that was as fun as getting up on a Saturday
morning and watching my stepdaughter at the time play soccer
in a non competitive, you know, intramural kind of a team.
(09:28):
There's nothing I did that was more fun than that.
And was it easy. Nope. That was driving and waking
up and getting food and making sure everybody's taken care
of and you got to bring chairs down and cancel
everything else, and it's a lot of work. But there's
nothing I did that was more that I felt, like, deeply,
(09:48):
deeply enjoyed just watching my stepdaughter play soccer. That's it
couldn't top that. The second thing with the best, like
the best moments ever ever. Think about what you would
remember if your life flashing in front of you like
you're dying. I don't know if that really happens. But
(10:10):
do everythink like, what do you call your life? Because
I find that there are moments that I call my life.
Do you ever have that, Like, I don't think if
my life were flashing before my eyes, I don't think
I would think about my Dilberg career, as you know,
thirty five years of doing it every day, I don't
think I would think about it. I'll tell you what
(10:32):
I would think about if I can. I would think
about watching Disney movies with my step kids. That's it.
That's what I would think about.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So you know, you could see that.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's getting very emotional there.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, Yeah, he definitely was. It seems like to me
that he potentially was, you know, doing some life reflecting.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Definitely at that time. It's interesting that he said that
because I feel like I had one of those moments
recently with our daughter where you know, she was on
stage and she was playing Cinderella, and it had been
a while since she had a lead like that, and
I was just watching her up there and she was
just doing so well, and she needed the win and
(11:25):
she was getting that win, and I literally thought to myself,
this is the greatest moment of my life, you know,
what I mean, it was just one of those moments
that I think I even said that to you that night.
It felt like this was one of the best days
of my entire life, you know, and I was just
sitting there watching her, and I don't know, I think
(11:49):
most parents can relate to that.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So I think that it is a gift that we
can celebrate his life now while he's with us. So
I would say, you know, if he has touched your life,
give him a shout out on Twitter. I know he's
for shit or you know, seeing all this stuff. I've
reached out to him and he said that he's been
overwhelmed by the response.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Open President Trump reached out.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You know what, I want to play that. I want
to play that because I think it's kind of an
interesting though. Yeah, it's kind of an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know why you queue that up. I do want
to say to people, I think whenever you have the opportunity,
if you hear that somebody is sick or someone is
having a hard time, I would really advise you not
to hesitate to reach out because having been in those
moments where, you know, a moment where I thought I
(12:39):
was going to die, so many people don't reach out.
They think, oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, it's not the
right time. That's exactly the time. I can tell you
first from first hand experience. I remember every single person
that reached out to me, yeah, when I was very,
very sick, and I remember every person that didn't reach out.
Yes I do, you know, and they may have had
(13:01):
their reasons, but I just feel like the right thing
to do is reach out, don't hesitate.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
People are afraid of death, and so they just try
to if people are entertaining it or going through that,
they just don't want to be a part of it,
and so they shut that person off. And it's a
very cold and mean thing to do. President Trump did
not do that with Scott Adams. And here's a quick
story from Scott Adams about hearing from President Trump.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So yesterday, I'm home and I've been getting lots of
people reaching out because my recent health related news. But
I can't talk to everybody like it was just It's
just continual messages coming in, and you know, I have
to kind of pace myself. So I say a phone
(13:46):
number coming in, somebody's calling me from some number I
don't recognize. Something into Florida, and I sent him to
a voicemail, and a little bit later, I thought, I
better check that voicemail and see if that was anything
to deal with. And the first the first sentence in
(14:09):
the transcription, because you know, the phone gives you the
text version of the voicemail as well, the first sentence is,
this is your favorite president. And I thought to myself, no,
did I just send the most important person in the
world to voicemail? And it turns out that I had.
(14:31):
It was Trump and he was he was just calling
to check in. Now you left a you know, semi
lengthy little voicemail just say he was checking on me
about heard about my health situation. And and then he says,
you know, you can call me back on this number. Now,
obviously I don't call him back, right because that would
(14:54):
just be ridiculous. It just was a nice thing for
him to stay because, you know, because he called me,
you could call me back on this number. So I didn't.
I didn't call him back on that number because I thought,
i'd you know what, it's not like you're sitting at
the resolute desk waiting to do waiting for my call.
(15:14):
I thought that whatever it is he's doing has got
to be more important. You know, they're randomly taking a
call from me, so I don't call him back. Hours
go by, it's the afternoon, same day, it's the afternoon,
and all of a sudden, another call comes through, also
from Florida, and I thought to myself, no fucking way,
(15:40):
there's no way he's calling me again. And I answer
it and it's Trump and apparently he'd heard my situation
and he had lots of questions. I won't get into
the details of our conversation because that would be inappropriate,
but he was just checking on me and he had
you know, he wanted to make sure that I was
(16:02):
getting everything I needed and that was it. Yeah, But
at the end, this rangest thing happened at the end,
at the end of the call, you know, when he
found out, you know, the situation was kind of dire
and I was still checking out some things that might help.
(16:23):
He said, if you need anything, I'll make it happen,
and he meant it. He was completely aware of our
let's say, parallel journeys from twenty fifteen. You mentioned it,
and it was just the the most incredible, weird, hard
(16:49):
to understand. The situation but boy was a fun So anyway,
that's my story.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So you know, you could see that and you could
hear it in his voice, like the end of the
road is coming. Strange to see this why? And the
thing is is apparently his tumor is right on where
his arthritis is, so he has that extra pain associated.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
With rights in a lot of pain he is.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I'm just happy that we're gonna be able to
celebrate him while he's here. We're going to be putting
together a story of his life will be you know,
putting that together. It's gonna take us a couple weeks
to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So I just hope you can do it quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, yeah, me too. It'll be the next thing that
we're done, that we do after what's an American and
when we'll get it out there.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So let's take a break.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Let's take a quick break, and we're going to talk
a little bit about this this terrorist attack that happened
in Washington, d C. Most of us go to bed
not thinking about what goes bump in the night. We
climb into bed, turn off the lights and sleep in
relative safety. But the people of Israel face NonStop threats
on seven different fronts. They do have a red alert
system to warn of incoming attacks, and last month red
(17:58):
alerts blared nearly fifty times every single day. It's hard
to imagine. The toll on families and first responders is brutal.
Right now, Israeli first responders face and urgent need. Life
saving supplies are running low. That's why the work of
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is so critical.
Your gift of only one hundred and fifty dollars will
(18:19):
help provide first responders with helmets, flack jackets, medical rescue bags,
and armed service vehicles to keep people alive. Your gift
is urgently needed. Call eight eight eight four eight eight
IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight four three
two five, or go online to give at IFCJ dot org.
(18:43):
That's IFCJ dot org. You're listening to Redhill America's Famboogie
and I want to talk a little bit about this
attack that happened in Washington, d C. That left two
people dead that were leaving a Jewish museum event. I
(19:06):
believe it was it was a couple. I believe they
were getting a scheduled to get married. And what it
is about this that I find kind of fascinating and
not to make everything political, but it really kind of
shows the state of the modern left right now. So
let me just read real quickly the story details. This
(19:28):
is from the Hill headline Israel says embassy staffers shooting
reflects alarming rise in anti Semitic sediment. The Israeli Foreign
Ministry said the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers outside
an event at a Jewish museum in Washington, d C.
Reflects an alarming rise in anti Semitism seen since Hamas's
(19:52):
October seventh, twenty twenty three attack on Israel sparked the
country's war in Gaza. The two staffers at the embassy,
identified as Yaran Sky and Sarah Lynn Milgram, were shot
and killed while leaving an event at the Capitol Jewish
Museum on Wednesday evening. A thirty year old male suspect
(20:15):
from Chicago was detained quickly after having yelled free, Free
Palestine as he was taken into custody. Apparently, these two,
this couple were scheduled to be married. They were Messianic Jews,
which I believe is a Christian denomination. So you know,
(20:35):
obviously this is vitriol is building here in the States.
In addition to you know, over in the Middle East.
The ADL has found who they want to take out
for this, which I think is kind of interesting. And
it's this guy. His name is Hassan Piker. For those
of you guys that aren't familiar with him, The New
(20:57):
York Times recently did his story on him, which I
found is kind of interesting. After the Trump election, Trump
won the election, one of the main things that the
left was kind of worried about was the podcast world.
That the right owns the podcast world, and they own
kind of the manisphere world. They and Trump's kind of
been attributed his victory was attributed to going on all
(21:20):
these kind of male centric podcasts, and so now the
left is in search of a solution to that, and
this Hassan Piker guy is one of those. Is this
solution according to New York Times and several others, including
Comedy Central. And he's this big twitcher guy. He's apparently
likes to lift weights, but he's also a progressive, So
(21:42):
he's a progressive.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
How much soy does he eat?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Exactly exactly? So here's the ADL talking about him, which
I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All of us need to call it out. I'm thinking
about the New York Times doing a glassy profile a
few weeks ago of this gamer Hassan Piker, who baggly
employs awful, genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish state.
Like extremists should not be empowered, people who spout prejudice
(22:14):
should not be platformed. This is a moment when we
need to look ourselves in the mirror and say we've
got to stop this because the consequences are deadly.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
So they are, you know, seeing this Hassan Piker guy.
Apparently he's you know, pro Palestine, he's anti Israel. But
the fascinating thing is is that the Left has been
putting him up there as the solution to this podcast
issue that they're having and this issue of not being
able to reach men. But that same person that the
(22:48):
New York Times and others are putting up on his
pedestal happens to be, you know, vehemently anti Israel and
pro Palestine. Here's Comedy Central talking about this Hassan Piker
guy and propping him up in the way that I'm
telling you about.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Common knowledge that the podcast world is full of maga
right wingers, but the left has some big players too.
I spoke to one of their biggest. After ten years
of covering the Trump campaign, I thought nothing could shock
me anymore. But somehow, in twenty twenty four, young voters,
and most especially young men, went hard for a seventy
eight year old who uses pancake makeup.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
The bro vote, especially on college campuses, broke heavily for Trump.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Yes, Trump reached voters by engaging with right wing influencers
in what's called the manosphere. It's a collection of online
content and social media promoting bro culture, and it's a
space that the left seems to ignore. But someone saw
this as a mistake. Were you surprised that so many
young people showed up and voted for Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Though, not even a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
This is a sim piker. He's a progressive who has
intellectual sit downs with Bernie and AOC and still manages
to post thirst trap workout videos to his two point
eight million followers on the platform Twitch. This combo has
liberal media asking if he is the magical connection to
young male voters. This is where you twitch from? Yeah,
what is a twitch?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
It's basically like YouTube, but you're live streaming.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It's a podcast for people who are like I wish
this podcast were longer. Yeah, Yet, his lefty bona fide
might have made him a target for Donald Trump's Homeland Security,
which recently detained Piker at the airport. How do you
see the left communicating with young men in this time
of the manosphere?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
The left could, I don't know, talk to dudes that will
vilifying them. There's a lot of anger, resentment, not having
any hope for a future, never being able to retire,
never being able to own a home. All of those
things are very much of the core identity for the
next generation.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
But is there a room for the Democrats to create
a left wing manosphere to talk about the social safety
net and protein powder?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Absolutely, I think that there is a space for it. Yeah,
but I don't think the Left fills that void at
all at this so as.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You can kind of see, they're really putting this guy
up on a platform. He's going to be their the
Left's Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And by the way, he looks very manly, you think, so, yes,
I have eyes, I'm not blind.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I don't know if I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well, I don't like guys that eat toy and I
know he's got toy in his refrigerator. Trust me, he's
sitting down with Bernie Sanders and AOC.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Oh god, yeah, oh, And I think I mean, who
knows it's all.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's feminist too.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm sure he is. Oh, I'm sure he is.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But the this is a fascinating thing where you have
the left propping this guy up. He's anti Israel, pro Hamas,
pro you know, at least pro Palestine. Let's say, maybe
I shouldn't say pro Hamas, but pro Palestine. And you
have to wonder, is the Jewish community now starting to
(25:53):
see that their friends are not on the left, their
friends are on the right.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I think the answer to that is yes. I have
a Jewish friend who is very, very lefty, and guess what.
At the end, she voted for Trump because he was
pro Israel and you know, for the Jews, as she says.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I hope within the Jewish community they're seeing this. Now.
There's a growing kind of a segment of the right
that is anti Israel and anti Zion and I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Would say that that group is growing, They're getting very vocal.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But I will say the only people that you see
on the left that are pro Israel. Are a few
leaders that are like senators and that kind of thing.
You're not seeing the gent their base at all that
are pro Israel at all. So I'm hoping that the
Jewish community start and you saw this, this lacks election.
(26:47):
You know, there's some polls that are out there that
say that you know, close to eighty percent voted for
Kamala of Jewish community vote for Kamala, but they don't
take into account the major cities where they're where the
Jewish population is, like New York and Los Angeles and Miami.
I think those were left out of the polls. If
(27:08):
you take those poles into account, you starting to see
a big shift towards the right. And this is your home, guys,
this is what These are the only friends you're going
to find. You're not going to find them on the left.
You're going to find this Hassan piker guy that the
media that the New York Times, the Comedy Central is
propping up. That is your enemy. And I would say
(27:34):
please spread that message. You're going to find your friends
here on the right. That's it for this edition of Fambogie.
But we are going to go backstage and talk about
a couple topics, including Trump's going against Harvard and what
he's doing to go at that institution is fascinating. We're
(27:55):
also going to talk a little bit about a lawsuit
that's being waged against an independent media guy that's it
has been very influential in exposing Andrew Tait, so we're
going to talk about that in more backstage. Please join
us if you can, become a fan band member, So
next time, guys.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
By everyone,
This is Red Pilled America. You're listening to part two
of fam Boogie. We're going to get into this very
heartbreaking Scott Adams announcement about his health and I guess
(00:23):
the silver lining if there can be a silver lining
and such a thing. All of you guys know Scott Adams.
I'm sure he's the famed Dilbert comic. He's also a
friend of this show. I use one of our I
guess not one of our earliest episodes. I think we
were about a year and a half in, but definitely
(00:45):
by far our most popular episode of.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
All time, definitely which I agree.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Let there be light.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He was also on an episode of fam Boogie.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
He was on an episode of different iteration. He was so,
I want to first just start off by hearing me
announce smith that he said the other day. This was
on Monday. This news came out on the heels of
the news of Joe Biden's diagnosis.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has, so
I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to
my bones. But I've had it longer than he's at it,
well longer than he's admitted having it. So my life
expectancy is maybe the summer. I expect to be checking
(01:33):
out from this domain sometime this summer.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's quite a big, big announcement, and I have to say,
really kind of brave. I have to say this, this
guy has the most incredible work ethic that I've ever
seen in a man. And I am somebody that works
quite a lot, but watching this guy. He films seven
days a week. He is constantly putting this show together
(01:59):
every morning on the Dot without fail. Seven o'clock in
the morning. He does his simultaneous sip with his coffee
with Scott Adams. Been watching it for years and years,
and he's kind of been like my Rush Limbaugh kind
of replacement, and he's been incredibly good to.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Our show, very very generous.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
He just didn't need to He just did not need
to be. So when we thought about doing the show
was during the pandemic. Everything had shut down, and I
saw that he had a book that was out, and
so I thought, you know what, let's reach out to him.
So I just kind of threw a hail Mary. I
went onto LinkedIn and sent him a message on LinkedIn said,
(02:43):
hey would love to have you on the show. Didn't
hear back from him, followed up a couple of days later,
said we'd love to having the show. He got back
to me, he said, shoot me an email. Here shot
him an email, and I initially wanted to do a
show on his life, and that's how I conducted the interview.
And we started to talk about everything he goes through
his whole life, and he gets on a couple of
(03:05):
these events and one had to do with this evolution
prediction that he made in the nineties, and he said
that it was surprisingly out of everything that he's done,
it's been the most controversial thing he'd done to date,
and I really found it interesting and I started to
delve into that, and instead of doing his life story,
I delved into that story, which was basically the story
(03:27):
of the simulation. And I'm so thankful that we held
off from doing his life story because now we have
all that and we can do it. And I think
that silver lining is is that he's now told the
world that he's dying and that he's probably not going
to make it through the summer, and we have this
(03:50):
gift of telling him how we feel about him while
he's still alive. A few of us have that I.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Agree with that. Yeah, that's a big one. I certainly
I did not get to do that with my dad,
and that that stays with you. I think being able
to say goodbye and have closure is It's obviously never
easy when you lose somebody, but I think that that
does change things.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I wish Norm MacDonald would have done that. I know
I understand why people don't. Sometimes they don't want people
to treat them differently, but it just it's almost like,
you know, Pete Rose, He's never going to get to
feel of being inducted into the Hall of Fame and
to feel the accolades and to feel the love. And
now here you have Scott Adams and he's giving us that.
(04:34):
He's giving us that gift, and its somebody that I
don't think likes a lot of praise. So for him
to kind of do that, I think it was kind
of a big one.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Is there anything that doesn't go back to baseball for you?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I love baseball. So we did the show, We did
the simulation show, and like I said, it was by
far our most popular episode that we've ever done. And
this is him responding to that show at that time.
It is funny because so we put that show out there.
I don't even think I let him know that it
was out And then I get an email from a friend,
(05:09):
Joel Pollock, and I'll never forget it. I see the
email and it says, Scott Adams giving you guys praise.
He's praising your guys. He's praising Red Pilled America. Check
it out. And so I turned over to Scott Adams
show and this is what he had to say about
our show.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So something happened today that was a very big deal
in my life because it opened the door for me
to tell you the next thing I'm going to tell you,
and it was that there was a podcast by Red
Pilled America on iHeartRadio with Patrick Kurelchi I hope I'm
saying that right and his co host Adriana Cortelz Now
(05:47):
I tweeted this so you can you can take a
take a good Oh you should. You should just see it. Well,
you should listen to it. I should say you should
listen to This podcast is one of the best produced, written, directed,
performed the thing I've ever seen. I mean, it is
(06:09):
really high quality just as a production. So even if
you the content didn't interest you, and believe me, it will.
It's really interesting, the content is amazing. Part of it's
about me, which is part of the story, but it's
just really well done. So do yourself a favor and
listen to it.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So his prediction was basically that evolution will be debunked
in his lifetime. That's generally what the prediction that he made.
And say that in the mid nineties when his audience
was so heavily tech. You know, when I first was
introduced to Scott Adams, I was working in aerospace engineering
(06:50):
in the Manhattan Beach area and he was like a
pop icon there. People loved his comic. They pasted it
up all over the place. It was just something that
was just a mainstay there. And he was just kind
of witty and short and funny. And I got reintroduced
(07:11):
to him years later when the whole Maga movement started,
and he was like the first pop icon to come
forward and really kind of explain that Trump could win
in a way that made sense his kind of persuasion
technique and how Scott Adams is a trained hypnotist and
so he sees the way that Trump was delivering and
(07:33):
he said, this guy can win he's going to win.
He's the most persuasive politician I've ever seen. And he
made it okay to like Trump. If there's this guy
that's been around for decades, that's been you know, part
of this kind of very smart world of the engineering
world and the tech world that's coming forward and saying
this guy can win and he's smart and he's the
(07:56):
best politician that I've ever seen. It made it okay
to like this guy. And it was you know, so
you know, he started this coffee with Scott Adams. The
guy knows how to brand. He comes up with this
simultaneous sip intro. He has this kind of thing that
just becomes part of your ritual. And there's this really
(08:16):
kind of interesting clips that I've been seeing going around
on him, and this is one that I thought was
really a human moment. Scott Adams didn't have any biological children,
but he had step children from a marriage, and this
was him talking about kind of some of the most
important moments in his life. And maybe when you watch
(08:37):
this you might think that maybe he even got the
diagnosis by this time, and he's been kind of reflecting
on his life by this time.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You've got TikTok doing these videos for childless adults saying
how great their weekends are because I don't how many kids. Now.
I have two feelings about that. Number One, they're totally
right about how great their weekend is without kids. However,
I'll just speak for myself. There is almost nothing I
(09:07):
ever did as a single person, even if I was
in a relationship. There was almost nothing I ever did
that was as fun as getting up on a Saturday
morning and watching my stepdaughter at the time play soccer
in a non competitive, you know, intramural kind of a team.
(09:28):
There's nothing I did that was more fun than that.
And was it easy. Nope. That was driving and waking
up and getting food and making sure everybody's taken care
of and you got to bring chairs down and cancel
everything else, and it's a lot of work. But there's
nothing I did that was more that I felt, like, deeply,
(09:48):
deeply enjoyed just watching my stepdaughter play soccer. That's it
couldn't top that. The second thing with the best, like
the best moments ever ever. Think about what you would
remember if your life flashing in front of you like
you're dying. I don't know if that really happens. But
(10:10):
do everythink like, what do you call your life? Because
I find that there are moments that I call my life.
Do you ever have that, Like, I don't think if
my life were flashing before my eyes, I don't think
I would think about my Dilberg career, as you know,
thirty five years of doing it every day, I don't
think I would think about it. I'll tell you what
(10:32):
I would think about if I can. I would think
about watching Disney movies with my step kids. That's it.
That's what I would think about.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So you know, you could see that.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's getting very emotional there.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, Yeah, he definitely was. It seems like to me
that he potentially was, you know, doing some life reflecting.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Definitely at that time. It's interesting that he said that
because I feel like I had one of those moments
recently with our daughter where you know, she was on
stage and she was playing Cinderella, and it had been
a while since she had a lead like that, and
I was just watching her up there and she was
just doing so well, and she needed the win and
(11:25):
she was getting that win, and I literally thought to myself,
this is the greatest moment of my life, you know,
what I mean, it was just one of those moments
that I think I even said that to you that night.
It felt like this was one of the best days
of my entire life, you know, and I was just
sitting there watching her, and I don't know, I think
(11:49):
most parents can relate to that.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So I think that it is a gift that we
can celebrate his life now while he's with us. So
I would say, you know, if he has touched your life,
give him a shout out on Twitter. I know he's
for shit or you know, seeing all this stuff. I've
reached out to him and he said that he's been
overwhelmed by the response.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Open President Trump reached out.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You know what, I want to play that. I want
to play that because I think it's kind of an
interesting though. Yeah, it's kind of an interesting story.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know why you queue that up. I do want
to say to people, I think whenever you have the opportunity,
if you hear that somebody is sick or someone is
having a hard time, I would really advise you not
to hesitate to reach out because having been in those
moments where, you know, a moment where I thought I
(12:39):
was going to die, so many people don't reach out.
They think, oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, it's not the
right time. That's exactly the time. I can tell you
first from first hand experience. I remember every single person
that reached out to me, yeah, when I was very,
very sick, and I remember every person that didn't reach out.
Yes I do, you know, and they may have had
(13:01):
their reasons, but I just feel like the right thing
to do is reach out, don't hesitate.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
People are afraid of death, and so they just try
to if people are entertaining it or going through that,
they just don't want to be a part of it,
and so they shut that person off. And it's a
very cold and mean thing to do. President Trump did
not do that with Scott Adams. And here's a quick
story from Scott Adams about hearing from President Trump.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So yesterday, I'm home and I've been getting lots of
people reaching out because my recent health related news. But
I can't talk to everybody like it was just It's
just continual messages coming in, and you know, I have
to kind of pace myself. So I say a phone
(13:46):
number coming in, somebody's calling me from some number I
don't recognize. Something into Florida, and I sent him to
a voicemail, and a little bit later, I thought, I
better check that voicemail and see if that was anything
to deal with. And the first the first sentence in
(14:09):
the transcription, because you know, the phone gives you the
text version of the voicemail as well, the first sentence is,
this is your favorite president. And I thought to myself, no,
did I just send the most important person in the
world to voicemail? And it turns out that I had.
(14:31):
It was Trump and he was he was just calling
to check in. Now you left a you know, semi
lengthy little voicemail just say he was checking on me
about heard about my health situation. And and then he says,
you know, you can call me back on this number. Now,
obviously I don't call him back, right because that would
(14:54):
just be ridiculous. It just was a nice thing for
him to stay because, you know, because he called me,
you could call me back on this number. So I didn't.
I didn't call him back on that number because I thought,
i'd you know what, it's not like you're sitting at
the resolute desk waiting to do waiting for my call.
(15:14):
I thought that whatever it is he's doing has got
to be more important. You know, they're randomly taking a
call from me, so I don't call him back. Hours
go by, it's the afternoon, same day, it's the afternoon,
and all of a sudden, another call comes through, also
from Florida, and I thought to myself, no fucking way,
(15:40):
there's no way he's calling me again. And I answer
it and it's Trump and apparently he'd heard my situation
and he had lots of questions. I won't get into
the details of our conversation because that would be inappropriate,
but he was just checking on me and he had
you know, he wanted to make sure that I was
(16:02):
getting everything I needed and that was it. Yeah, But
at the end, this rangest thing happened at the end,
at the end of the call, you know, when he
found out, you know, the situation was kind of dire
and I was still checking out some things that might help.
(16:23):
He said, if you need anything, I'll make it happen,
and he meant it. He was completely aware of our
let's say, parallel journeys from twenty fifteen. You mentioned it,
and it was just the the most incredible, weird, hard
(16:49):
to understand. The situation but boy was a fun So anyway,
that's my story.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So you know, you could see that and you could
hear it in his voice, like the end of the
road is coming. Strange to see this why? And the
thing is is apparently his tumor is right on where
his arthritis is, so he has that extra pain associated.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
With rights in a lot of pain he is.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I'm just happy that we're gonna be able to
celebrate him while he's here. We're going to be putting
together a story of his life will be you know,
putting that together. It's gonna take us a couple weeks
to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So I just hope you can do it quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, yeah, me too. It'll be the next thing that
we're done, that we do after what's an American and
when we'll get it out there.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So let's take a break.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Let's take a quick break, and we're going to talk
a little bit about this this terrorist attack that happened
in Washington, d C. Most of us go to bed
not thinking about what goes bump in the night. We
climb into bed, turn off the lights and sleep in
relative safety. But the people of Israel face NonStop threats
on seven different fronts. They do have a red alert
system to warn of incoming attacks, and last month red
(17:58):
alerts blared nearly fifty times every single day. It's hard
to imagine. The toll on families and first responders is brutal.
Right now, Israeli first responders face and urgent need. Life
saving supplies are running low. That's why the work of
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is so critical.
Your gift of only one hundred and fifty dollars will
(18:19):
help provide first responders with helmets, flack jackets, medical rescue bags,
and armed service vehicles to keep people alive. Your gift
is urgently needed. Call eight eight eight four eight eight
IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight four three
two five, or go online to give at IFCJ dot org.
(18:43):
That's IFCJ dot org. You're listening to Redhill America's Famboogie
and I want to talk a little bit about this
attack that happened in Washington, d C. That left two
people dead that were leaving a Jewish museum event. I
(19:06):
believe it was it was a couple. I believe they
were getting a scheduled to get married. And what it
is about this that I find kind of fascinating and
not to make everything political, but it really kind of
shows the state of the modern left right now. So
let me just read real quickly the story details. This
(19:28):
is from the Hill headline Israel says embassy staffers shooting
reflects alarming rise in anti Semitic sediment. The Israeli Foreign
Ministry said the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers outside
an event at a Jewish museum in Washington, d C.
Reflects an alarming rise in anti Semitism seen since Hamas's
(19:52):
October seventh, twenty twenty three attack on Israel sparked the
country's war in Gaza. The two staffers at the embassy,
identified as Yaran Sky and Sarah Lynn Milgram, were shot
and killed while leaving an event at the Capitol Jewish
Museum on Wednesday evening. A thirty year old male suspect
(20:15):
from Chicago was detained quickly after having yelled free, Free
Palestine as he was taken into custody. Apparently, these two,
this couple were scheduled to be married. They were Messianic Jews,
which I believe is a Christian denomination. So you know,
(20:35):
obviously this is vitriol is building here in the States.
In addition to you know, over in the Middle East.
The ADL has found who they want to take out
for this, which I think is kind of interesting. And
it's this guy. His name is Hassan Piker. For those
of you guys that aren't familiar with him, The New
(20:57):
York Times recently did his story on him, which I
found is kind of interesting. After the Trump election, Trump
won the election, one of the main things that the
left was kind of worried about was the podcast world.
That the right owns the podcast world, and they own
kind of the manisphere world. They and Trump's kind of
been attributed his victory was attributed to going on all
(21:20):
these kind of male centric podcasts, and so now the
left is in search of a solution to that, and
this Hassan Piker guy is one of those. Is this
solution according to New York Times and several others, including
Comedy Central. And he's this big twitcher guy. He's apparently
likes to lift weights, but he's also a progressive, So
(21:42):
he's a progressive.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
How much soy does he eat?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Exactly exactly? So here's the ADL talking about him, which
I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All of us need to call it out. I'm thinking
about the New York Times doing a glassy profile a
few weeks ago of this gamer Hassan Piker, who baggly
employs awful, genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish state.
Like extremists should not be empowered, people who spout prejudice
(22:14):
should not be platformed. This is a moment when we
need to look ourselves in the mirror and say we've
got to stop this because the consequences are deadly.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
So they are, you know, seeing this Hassan Piker guy.
Apparently he's you know, pro Palestine, he's anti Israel. But
the fascinating thing is is that the Left has been
putting him up there as the solution to this podcast
issue that they're having and this issue of not being
able to reach men. But that same person that the
(22:48):
New York Times and others are putting up on his
pedestal happens to be, you know, vehemently anti Israel and
pro Palestine. Here's Comedy Central talking about this Hassan Piker
guy and propping him up in the way that I'm
telling you about.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Common knowledge that the podcast world is full of maga
right wingers, but the left has some big players too.
I spoke to one of their biggest. After ten years
of covering the Trump campaign, I thought nothing could shock
me anymore. But somehow, in twenty twenty four, young voters,
and most especially young men, went hard for a seventy
eight year old who uses pancake makeup.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
The bro vote, especially on college campuses, broke heavily for Trump.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Yes, Trump reached voters by engaging with right wing influencers
in what's called the manosphere. It's a collection of online
content and social media promoting bro culture, and it's a
space that the left seems to ignore. But someone saw
this as a mistake. Were you surprised that so many
young people showed up and voted for Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Though, not even a little bit.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
This is a sim piker. He's a progressive who has
intellectual sit downs with Bernie and AOC and still manages
to post thirst trap workout videos to his two point
eight million followers on the platform Twitch. This combo has
liberal media asking if he is the magical connection to
young male voters. This is where you twitch from? Yeah,
what is a twitch?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
It's basically like YouTube, but you're live streaming.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It's a podcast for people who are like I wish
this podcast were longer. Yeah, Yet, his lefty bona fide
might have made him a target for Donald Trump's Homeland Security,
which recently detained Piker at the airport. How do you
see the left communicating with young men in this time
of the manosphere?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
The left could, I don't know, talk to dudes that will
vilifying them. There's a lot of anger, resentment, not having
any hope for a future, never being able to retire,
never being able to own a home. All of those
things are very much of the core identity for the
next generation.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
But is there a room for the Democrats to create
a left wing manosphere to talk about the social safety
net and protein powder?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Absolutely, I think that there is a space for it. Yeah,
but I don't think the Left fills that void at
all at this so as.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You can kind of see, they're really putting this guy
up on a platform. He's going to be their the
Left's Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
And by the way, he looks very manly, you think, so, yes,
I have eyes, I'm not blind.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I don't know if I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well, I don't like guys that eat toy and I
know he's got toy in his refrigerator. Trust me, he's
sitting down with Bernie Sanders and AOC.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Oh god, yeah, oh, And I think I mean, who
knows it's all.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's feminist too.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm sure he is. Oh, I'm sure he is.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But the this is a fascinating thing where you have
the left propping this guy up. He's anti Israel, pro Hamas,
pro you know, at least pro Palestine. Let's say, maybe
I shouldn't say pro Hamas, but pro Palestine. And you
have to wonder, is the Jewish community now starting to
(25:53):
see that their friends are not on the left, their
friends are on the right.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I think the answer to that is yes. I have
a Jewish friend who is very, very lefty, and guess what.
At the end, she voted for Trump because he was
pro Israel and you know, for the Jews, as she says.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I hope within the Jewish community they're seeing this. Now.
There's a growing kind of a segment of the right
that is anti Israel and anti Zion and I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Would say that that group is growing, They're getting very vocal.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But I will say the only people that you see
on the left that are pro Israel. Are a few
leaders that are like senators and that kind of thing.
You're not seeing the gent their base at all that
are pro Israel at all. So I'm hoping that the
Jewish community start and you saw this, this lacks election.
(26:47):
You know, there's some polls that are out there that
say that you know, close to eighty percent voted for
Kamala of Jewish community vote for Kamala, but they don't
take into account the major cities where they're where the
Jewish population is, like New York and Los Angeles and Miami.
I think those were left out of the polls. If
(27:08):
you take those poles into account, you starting to see
a big shift towards the right. And this is your home, guys,
this is what These are the only friends you're going
to find. You're not going to find them on the left.
You're going to find this Hassan piker guy that the
media that the New York Times, the Comedy Central is
propping up. That is your enemy. And I would say
(27:34):
please spread that message. You're going to find your friends
here on the right. That's it for this edition of Fambogie.
But we are going to go backstage and talk about
a couple topics, including Trump's going against Harvard and what
he's doing to go at that institution is fascinating. We're
(27:55):
also going to talk a little bit about a lawsuit
that's being waged against an independent media guy that's it
has been very influential in exposing Andrew Tait, so we're
going to talk about that in more backstage. Please join
us if you can, become a fan band member, So
next time, guys.
