(01:12):
of these riffs, you know,And he's like like, dude, I'm
like yeah, yeah. I waslike, you just got to go easy
on us, you know, andhelp us load in and stuff, because
you know we're we're senior citizens.Yeah, that's the worst part now,
you know. It was I wasin my twenties rolling in a full stack
like mine and the other guitar playersand then you know, a name Big

(01:33):
fourteen and then all that, youknow, sixteen piece drum set and a
big deal, you know. Butnow it's like, yeah, the ship's
heavy. Cat's best friend Vicky shegoes that needs to just make you feel
old. I'm like, yes,it does, and she's like she's like,

(01:55):
yeah, that was you. Thatwas what you did, you know,
And I was like, yeah,I was like, fucking I was
a Cage's sister was there and she'slike, why do you feel old?
You're not old all this. I'mlike, well, you see all that
stuff that they got up on stagethere, She's like yeah, I'm like,
see that's a young man's game.That's a younger man's game right there.
Loading loading all that stuff in iswhere that would be right about where.

(02:17):
I'm like, I fucking I feelit. Yeah, yeah, that's
that's where. And if you're likehosting the show and you're bringing the PA,
that's of course. Oh yeah,that's what I'm looking at in this
room right here. It's like youmight as well tell me I got to
sell my house and move, youknow, if I've got to empty this
room. It's the you know atthat point, you know what I mean,

(02:38):
go to do the show and youjust never come back. I just
live I live here now, guys, I'll just buy new ship haven't delivered
to the house. You to hirea local moving company just to put your
ship in and out of your houseinto the show. Yeah, it's like

(02:59):
I'll pay extra if you just youjust stay there or come back later and
then pick the shit up. Yeah. I had a questionable ethic back then
when it came to the live thingtoo. Like I loved playing live,
I just hated the load in andload out. Yeah, so you would

(03:22):
know as I went, man,my my setups got more and more simple,
you know, and I just Istarted cutting out stuff and you know,
Okay. So the other thing too, is like you start realizing why
some of the older cats that wouldplay like the Blue shows would show up
with a Fender twin combo. Yeahdid you do that? I just did?

(03:44):
Yeah did he freeze? I don'tknow. It sure looks like a
froze. It looks like it.But yeah, you know, it's like
you understand why those guys are likebecause it was easier, you know,
a super super light Fender Stratocaster onesingle chord in a one twelve combo,
and they're like, make the PAdo the work. They're way ahead of
the fucking yeah yeah you know,because yeah, man, it was a

(04:14):
good time. I wish very happy. I wish I would knew ahead of
time. Man, I would haveloved to go to a show that wasn't
you know, yeah, a nationalact I haven't been to. I haven't
been to a show in a while. I know one of the one of
the guests write he wrote a letteronto the show is also a musician and
he's been after me about trying toget on and uh come to a show.

(04:40):
And it's like every time he plansthe show is something has happened.
Then there's amazing when I can't go. Wow, he's even froze coming back
in. This feels weird having meat the top there he is. You
seem shorter now, but never mindw B. Yeah, yeah, now

(05:03):
that was a good time, man, I had I had a blast.
I'm really proud of of Gage andseeing his band play again. Drummers out
there, I know, I knowyou're out there. I know you want
to join a band that that they'renot fucking around, They're ready. You
need to you need to get ahold of me. You need to you
know, you know the email addressemail the show leaved comment something like that,

(05:24):
let me know and I'll put youin touch. Yeah, hopefully you
can play fast, because these guysare fucking fast. Yeah, it was
pretty fucking awesome. That would beinteresting to have us up there as a
polar opposite band because we don't playfast. Yeah it would, uh I

(05:45):
know. Okay, So during duringall the fast stuff at the show that
it was like the the marsh Pittwould go go wild, you know,
but the breakdown stuff when it wouldgo halftime, people win nuts and it
was it was awesome. I wasI was enjoying. That's awesome, man.

(06:05):
Yeah, fucking yeah. One ofthese days we'll have to see what
it looks like from the stage.Yeah. It's been a while, yeah
for sure. So I wanted totell you guys about something that happened to
me. I was removed from anotherbig foot group on Facebook. I can't
remember the name of the group nowbecause once it came out, I was

(06:27):
like, yeah, way, itmust have been a glitch. Yeah it
was. I feel like it wasa misunderstanding because somebody said something along the
lines of like how many how manypeople believe in bigfoot? And have you
ever seen one? And then therewas like three hundred comments on it,

(06:53):
right every and everybody's seen one?And I was like, I commented on
was like, wow, look atlook at all these people that spotted him.
I was like, it's I guesshe's not that rare after all,
because I mean, everybody's seen him, right. It was like twenty minutes

(07:15):
later I saw that I was removedfrom the group. I'm like, oh,
really, Like, come on man, It's like I just pointed out
an observation. It's not like Ieven got on there and said anything,
you know, hateful towards the community. I just said, like, there's
three hundred people commenting here and they'veall seen him, so he can't be

(07:39):
that rare, right, fucking weird? Yeah, right, It's kind of
one of those things. That's thething about those bigfoot groups is there's thousands
of members and everybody's seen him.Yeah, nobody's got a picture. Though.
It's a tough tup break there,right, He's just that good at

(08:03):
dodging that ship. Yeah. Ifeel like we've gotten into this so uh,
this topic so many times. Ifeel like this is like like the
basis of the show was the BigGuy, But after spending multiple years listening

(08:24):
at this, like it has likewe all came into this on the fence,
like we had real, like goutlike core beliefs that like it could
happen, It could happen. I'veseen We've seen stranger shit out there.

(08:45):
But now it's starting to say,is this a true like true? Like
yeah, the only way it couldbe now to me personally, this is
how I feel over the years,I'm certain to fell over the years,
is that it has to be somethingmore like I guess you would say spiritual.

(09:05):
And I don't know if I believein that that much. Yeah,
I don't know. To me,like, think about like all the ship
the shade there is to me,it's like, you know, think about
all the ship you see out ofthe corner of your eye that isn't there.
You know, it could will bepsychological. You're out in the woods,

(09:28):
there's nothing around you for miles,you know. Yeah, And let's
face it, anybody that's actually spendany time in the woods knows that,
like even the smallest creature can soundlike a horse. Yeah. Squirrels,
Yeah, they sound like a stampedecoming through. Yeah, squirrels sound huge,
you know, deer running sound likemuch larger animals. Yeah, even

(09:54):
like straight cats if they're in aleaf bed, you know, are gonna
sound bigger, you know. Imean, it's just I don't know.
It's people are going to believe whatthey want to believe. People are going
to say what they've done. Yeah, and if you try to contradict whatever
they're saying with any questioning, thenthey get upset. And as soon as

(10:16):
they get upset, I immediately knowthat this is an emotional response. Yeah,
not so much a factual response.Yeah, because you start going in
from the from the realm of probabilityinto the realm of possibility. Yeah,
and probability very very low possibility.Anything's fucking possible. But is it probable?

(10:39):
Yeah? Can the world produce anupright ape like that? Probably?
It probably can. Is it possibleto have an ecosystem that can sustain a
population of that big of an ape, It's doubtful. Yeah, there isn't
even that many gorillas in the wild, and that's a big ape. That's

(11:03):
a valid point. What is likethe silverback population worldwide? I couldn't tell
you. Often I'm looking it upbecause you know that's what I do.
Yeah, I know it can't becrazy, but I'm sure it's reasonable within
the amount of calories out there,you know what I mean. And then
too, you know, we hadthe poaching thing for a while with the

(11:26):
silver back, so I'm sure that'sstill going on. You're looking at thirteen
or three hundred and sixteen thousand Westerngorillas and five thousand Eastern gorillas. Yeah,
it's not a in the grand schemeof things. It's not a terrible
lot, right, considering that youI don't know how to say this without

(11:52):
being offensive to those communities, butyou're trying to sell the fact. You're
trying to sell it as a factthat there's basically millions of these days.
And it's even worse when you talkabout mountain grillas, which would be the
big swerback, the one that nobodybelieved existed. There's a thousand of them
and four hundred and sixty of themlive in one particular national park in Uganda.
Yeah, so you know, andwe have pictures of them, Yeah,

(12:20):
we have them. People didn't believein them for eighty years and they
finally got pictures and now it's thatwas the thing. Yeah, Yeah,
they were like this thing that don'tthat doesn't exist, there's no way.
And then it's like, well,we got all these we got this film
of them, we got this pictureof them, and it's clear as day.
Yeah, so it's it's one ofthem things. Yet, I you

(12:41):
know, I'm not trying to hijackthis into a into a Bigfoot episode by
any means, I feel like thesubject's got enough attention, and it's it
is a frustrating topic for me nowbecause I did. I went into the
topic when we started this very evenkeelery, like, all right, let's
let's find some patterns. I foundone weird pattern over a course of like

(13:07):
twelve years, and often the mostdisappointing explanation will be what's going on?
And the thing that got me wasthat there was a giant fact that was
left out of my explanation, thatwasn't done intentionally. But when I went
back and I went over the informationagain, it went like this, I'm

(13:33):
reading these patterns. I'm reading thesesightings on a public website that anybody can
submit a siding too, So anyonecan go in there and say, well,
i'm gonna I'm gonna make a sidingsimilar to this one. I'm going

(13:56):
to create one, and then aguy like me along and I put together
that, well, this one isa reoccurring, this one happens every so
often. Maybe, But the mostprobable explanation is that someone put those in
because the submission itself is not datestamped. They manually enter in the date

(14:16):
that they alleged that this happened,and they don't vet this at all.
They don't vet it, Yeah,because there's not there. Like I'm not
saying like that organization doesn't have likethe means to have somebody go out and
investigate right off that off the rip. Yeah, just just to make sure

(14:39):
that they're telling the truth and it, like you said, if it was
manually put in, this could bean old story that was passed down from
people. So how could you actuallymake sure it recording the same story but
someone had told them a different timeperiod. Yeah, I'm not saying it's
completely nefarious. I'm just saying thatit's Yeah, the element is added to

(15:01):
it. It's it starts to geta little wobbly, and without that,
there's no control factor to that experiment, so it's it's void. I always
I always put it at this islike telephone, that game that you played
in school. That's how I alwayslike, somebody tells one story and then

(15:24):
it goes like all I saw Bigfootand then nix. You know, it
goes all around Bigfoot's flying flying saucersthrough the center of the world. That's
how we got to hear like,well, that's where they live, in
the center of the earth. Silly, silly goose. Of course Bigfoot's coming

(15:48):
out of the middle of the planetwherever where a bunch of stuff lives.
Yeah, you know what I mean. I don't know, man, I
don't know that that whole that wholething. And then when they remove you
from a group because you have apolar opposite, you know, approach,
And my whole thing was like notreally like to point it out and just

(16:11):
to put them on the spot.It was more of a like perspective thing,
like, hey man, there's thousandsof you trying to tell me this
is a rare like once in alifetime sighting, and there's thousands of you
that seen it allegedly, right,So it can't be both. Yeah,
and you think you take take justa law of averages of one thousand to

(16:33):
one odds, that means that nineand ninety nine of those people are lying
through their fucking teeth if you applythat, Yeah, again, they're gonna
twist us around and be like youcall those fucking liars. No, I'm
not the odds are i'mbving Maybe they'renot lying. They they experienced something that

(16:55):
was unexplained to them, and ithas nothing to do with big Foot,
even if they were telling the truthof their experience, but they just it
was something totally different. It's justlike that whole the term. I can't
remember who we were talking to,but they said him and his boy went
out and his boy ran back tothe truck because he heard a screech out.

(17:18):
Now, it was the first timeyou ever heard heard that before.
That was on location, Mike,and it was and his dad and he
was so yeah, like that likethat's the type like, that's the type
of scenario, Like if you're notused to this, you're going when you're
when you're in the unknown, especiallyin the dark and ship, your mind

(17:40):
is going to race and go tothe like the worst assumption because now you're
in uh fight or flight, andmost people will take flight. Yeah,
you know you just said that earlier. He said time that you'd almost be
willing to lean towards a spiritual typething of you know, and that's like

(18:07):
if anybody listens to show, that'slike the one topic that I usually don't
I don't really weigh in on,is that whole thing that the afterlife,
spiritual stuff, all that stuff.In my core belief is that this is
a science that we don't understand yet. I don't really think it's metaphysical,

(18:29):
you know what I mean. Ifeel like there's a science there to this
that if there's a such things asa persisting human consciousness, which there there
have been interesting things that have happenedwith that subject. I believe that it's
a natural part of science and physics, you know, because at this point

(18:52):
in physics we know that there's there'sfourth dimensions, fifth dimensions, sixth dimensions,
you know, and we even haveprobability and equations. They can they
can prove these now, which tome, that's the math. That's that's
the that's showing your work, youknow what I mean, Like, that's
that's not just saying like, oh, dude, there's a portal in the
middle of the Earth and that's whereBigfoot comes out of with this UFO.

(19:18):
No, that's we have this math. We have this math, and we
have a missing spot here in themiddle, and the universe doesn't usually do
that. So we start working outthe math, how how does this fit
this other dimension in here, andeven getting you know, getting on and
listening to some of the big youknow, there's some of the famous scientists

(19:40):
out there, you know, sitthere and talk about, uh, well,
fourth dimensional beings could technically interact witheverything here, but we don't have
the organs, We don't have thesensory organs to perceive fourth dimensional So it's
not like it's not like I canmake believe thing. It's just that we're

(20:02):
living firmly in the third dimensional world. So we've evolved to be in the
third dimensional world. It's not thatit's not there, it's that we're just
not the right model to see it, to experience it. If seeing it
is even how you perceive it,we don't even know. For all we
know, our brains don't know howto think outside of the third dimensional world,

(20:26):
you know, so they have torely on mathematics. And then when
it comes to the spiritual, youknow, the spiritual side. I look
at it like this, Hey,we got two big things here. We
have how to perceive the fourth dimensionand up and we have all this paranormal
stuff. And my brain goes,don't those kind of follow the same,

(20:51):
you know rules. You can't reallyunderstand it, you can't really see it.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. You know, so for me,
if you said, like, well, maybe the bigfoot thing is a
maybe it's a spiritual thing. Whatabout a fourth dimensional primate that's that big

(21:11):
and it's evolved upright, and itexists in the world just like everything else,
It just doesn't exist on our levelof it. It doesn't exist in
our third dimensional and every now andagain maybe you get a glimpse. I
don't know, but the who thefuck is ever going to figure that out?
Yeah, that's that's kind of myproblem is who's going to figure it

(21:33):
out? Who would be like,oh, dude, I have I have
all these computers that are designed toanalyze the fourth dimensional world. Now you
don't. We don't even know howto build that shit. We don't even
know how to conceive of that,you know. So it's like this gigantic
void of the unknown that to meis infinitely more interesting than you know,

(22:00):
the dog man. Yeah, youknow what I mean. Like, I'm
like, dude, there's a wholeworld in physics that's like it's right there,
ready to explain a lot of shit, and it just they just can't
yet. We're just not there.No, we know that dark matter is
a thing, we know that darkenergy is a thing. Now we know

(22:21):
that antimatter is a thing. Weknow there's a god particle, we know
that all atoms are quantized. Like, that shit is mind blowing to me.
How the hell was every single atomin the universe program to do what

(22:41):
it does? Yeah? I taughtto you guys about this a long time
ago, right, the fine tuningtheory. That shit is mind fucking blowing
to me because the only thing weknow of in nature that fine tunes anything
is us. So basically it's like, okay, you know, I think

(23:04):
I told you guys about the onetheories I was reading about right where they
kept running the math of like aquantized universe basically like our universe, And
no matter how many universes you stackedup, the quantized universe was the rare
one, like the actual like quantizeduniverse where matter binds and atoms are programmed

(23:26):
to do what they do. Thenormal, like what do you call it?
The regular result is an unquantized universe, basically like an anti matter universe
where we couldn't even exist there.We would just like come apart because our
atoms would no longer be quantized anymore. The matter would just fall fall back

(23:49):
to its basic you know whatever,and just be floating. So I'm like,
dude, this ship. There's alot of shit out there that's infinitely
more mysterious and extravagant, and Ido believe that in the end, physics
will will figure out all of thisshit. You know. But I don't
know when you said that earlier abouta spiritual thing that that made me think

(24:10):
of that. I don't think thatspirituality and science is two different things.
I think that there are two differentfields that approach it different ways. But
I do believe that science will bewhat figures it out, you know.
I was just going on along thelines, is that we can't I want
to say, from our standpoint,like well mine at least, I just

(24:34):
can't see it being a truly physicalbeing like like a dog or any animal
that you can physically touch and see. There has to be an outside.
It won't be a third dimensional being. Yeah, that's kind of like where
I was going because I even saidthe whole spiritual thing. I don't know

(24:56):
if I could get on board fullywith that either, but I'm willing to
take the time to hear hear people'sviews on that and where they're where they
come with their conclusions on on thatsaid topic, because I just can't from
now, like the flesh and bloodtype of thing, I just don't know

(25:18):
if I can believe it anymore afterseeing seeing all this. What about what
about the alien thing? I seeyour tag there, aliens aren't cool anymore?
What about that? Do you thinkthat? Do you think that they're
I'm waiting here on the button.What about that? I mean, there's

(25:38):
people that believe that that aliens arethey're not flying here from other planets,
you know, across the galaxy.They they figured out a way to navigate
dimensions. Yeah, I mean,I don't know. People. You know,

(25:59):
we had the one remember that oneasteroid that that floated through the Solar
system, you know, Jason,Jason and yeah, Mimosasa and uh it
slows down at the Sun and thentakes the right turn and leaves and you
got us here. We're basically we'rebasically the primates in the woods going,

(26:22):
that's probably a rock. That's arock. There's no way you capin,
bro, Yeah you capn no capno cap still feels weird. To say
it. I don't know, juststop. It's like, bet, I
really feel like we lost a lotof like listeners on that one. So
like, if they're starting to usethis this link, dude that's out there

(26:45):
liked this episode's busting. We're downto twelve hundred subs. This is hey.
He's like going around his his work. He's like, I low key
love X files. I would Iwould unsubscribe for that one. But what

(27:07):
I'm saying that that's the guy.The people who invented those are going to
be representing the science community eventually.Yeah. No, the people that those
people picked on in high school arethe ones that are gonna be doing it.
I hope. So I really do. I really hope. So please

(27:29):
God, Well, I want tolike do a tiny segu here, like
just to I saw him go forit. Yeah, we need to look
a little tiny, one, littleminiature. I am baffled. Okay.
My my niece comes up and tellsme. She's like, hey, I'm

(27:51):
starting a D and D campaign,and I'm like, Okay, that's that's
cool. The school, what doyou play? What addition? Like,
what do you think give it?What's your character? Your idea? Like
what do you what do you wantto play? And she's doing like talking
about yeah, and I got anotherone that I'm going to go to.
It's two different campaigns. It's likethis is awesome. But I'm like over
here and I'm like, why isit cool now to be a nerd to

(28:17):
like this stuff I got? Iwas like, I brought it back,
buddy. I was like, Igot so like shipped on in like high
school and stuff for playing these typesof games. Well, I was like,
now, like the tables are likeit's like all askew now like in

(28:38):
high school like nerd stuff, it'sawesome. Like all that's is cool.
It's nostalgia in a way for likeyea, these kids are nostalgic for ship
that they've never been around. Yeah, that's what I was about. It's
retro. They load the retro andI'm like, this is not retro to
me, Hey man, this becausemy daughter D and D. I did

(29:02):
it when I was younger. Right, Uh, I'm sure my my D
and D campaigns with my buddies wasprobably a lot different than what there's Ours.
Was a big ass mixing goal fullof cigarettes, like we'd open them
and dump them in, right,and then you just had a community,
you know where you could just graba smoke, right, food, beer,

(29:22):
like it was like it was awesome. It was and there was always
metal blasted somewhere. It was justit was badass, right. And it's
literally me and a bunch of otherdudes with band shirts on, just sitting
there rolling the dice, you know, like having this this fun game.
You know, it gets them inperson. They put this ship down and

(29:47):
they go and they sit in personand they play together. Satta bring that
thing back up again later because wehave a seguay into that as well.
Yeah, they use yeah, andthey use their freaking uh they use their
minds for like for a change,like they like actually use their imagination.

(30:11):
And I like that. I alwaysI was making the joke too. It's
like, I'm like, do youguys make fun of the jocks at your
school for playing sports? Like becausethe tables will turn like they make fun
of like back then, they like, do you guys like you play football?
Nude fifteen of them shoving one guyinto a locker. He's a lot

(30:33):
bigger, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, she
comes home after playing and she's likelaughing and telling me about their you know,
their story and stuff, and theycome up with some crazy ship and
I'm just sitting there like this isawesome. Good for that. Yeah,

(30:57):
so happy to hear it. Ilove it. I'm gonna go ahead and
say it. I've never even seena D and D board. That's unfortunate,
Josh, because I actually think thatyou'd be pretty good at it.
Like I feel like you would beYou would be that guy in the group
that that probably got everybody in andout of good like situations, because you

(31:21):
gotta have that guy in the groupthat's like, hold up, if this
is here, this is here,that we need to do this, and
that's usually the guy that saves everybody. So I feel like Josh would probably
be pretty good. Yeah, I'venever even never even seen one. We
don't even have the I never hadthat. All of our everybody that was

(31:42):
in our campaign always like Leroy Jenkinsis yeah, right, like always like
I remember, uh, this isanother Josh. He wanted to do a
flying kick. He rolled a oneand don't you like okay? He's like

(32:02):
okay, you get like you dothis awesome like flip cartwheel onto this boulder
and then you jump down with akick, you miss him completely and hit
the wall and break you shatter yourleg. Yeah. Yeah, that's what
rolling ones gets you. Yeah,we don't do none of that reroll ones
either. If you roll a one, you live with that. Yeah,
you stick with that. Yeah.Our our dungeon Master was pretty hardcore.

(32:28):
He would pretty much kill your characterat any turn and you had to make
a new one because that character isdead. And I always love that.
I think maybe it's his fault thatI like all or nothing aspect games.
It might be his fault because Ido like that. I like those games
where you come up and if youdie, you lose everything. I don't

(32:49):
know why. Oh I hate myselfor something. I don't know. Yeah.
If we ever got Josh to playthough, and he's not either a
boat captain or a wizard, Iam not playing because he's got the wizard
like he could he could do itand he could sell it, or he
could be like a boat captain,like a pirate warrior kind of dude.

(33:12):
And I would believe that one too. I'd be like, yeah, dude.
But if he came in and hewas like yeah, I'm gonna be
like I'm going to be a knownthief, I'd be like because I you
know, I mean, I'm playingtoo. I got to be able to
believe it, right, I mean, I'm glad to hear it too.
I'm glad to hear the kids areplaying D and D and getting together and

(33:35):
being stupid. That's what they shouldbe doing. Yeah, fucking telephone cell
phone screens have robbed the souls sick. So what do you think it was
that knocked out all the phones?I don't know, but I think that
the hilarity that ensued on Facebook afterwas just gold. Yeah, it is

(34:00):
just gold, absolute gold. Becauseone the same people that always post the
picture of you know, turning yourcell phones turn off the Wi Fi to
live in this cab and you knowthey are always like yeah, I would
love to do that, are thesame people that are like at and T
has been down for three hours,you know, that's one thing. And

(34:22):
then the conspiracy, theorious people showedup and they did not disappoint. Yeah,
this is a test, guys.Just know this is a test.
Right. I would love to know. I would love to know what the
endgame on that is because I've beenthinking very solidly about this for a couple

(34:43):
of days since Thursday when it happened, and I started seeing that, and
I started just bombarding you guys withscreenshots of Yeah, this is a test.
This is a test because we livein a capitalist society in our country,
right, right, So what goodwould it be to take the thing

(35:06):
we do so much purchasing on,Like there's one, two, three,
four, five, six, seventhings on my home screen that I use
to buy shit. At what pointdoes it make sense to disable that?
Yeah? It doesn't, It doesn't. Yeah, And the people that think

(35:31):
that like this was them trying toslowly push us into a communist or socialist
society that doesn't benefit the very wealthyright now, because the very wealthy are
getting rich on the middle class andthe poor as we speak, they're not

(35:52):
going to get any richer if we'reall poor in a capitalist society, right,
it doesn't make any sense. Now. I think they got hacked.
Yeah, I think they got Ithink they got hacked. It was like
a like a play game cyber attack, and they didn't want to tell everybody
that's what it was. I hopethat's what it was, because the official

(36:14):
answer, the official answer was thatthey were trying to update the system and
fucked up. Yeah, hardware failureor hardware mishap. I read yeah,
which I also believe because I mean, as we go back to season two,
fill up the Alien, every companyhas a moron. Yeah, these

(36:37):
things happen absolutely. I remember atone of my stops, the guy that
was helping me comes back to getanother stack of stuff to take in,
and he comes up and he goes, Man, some some old dude just
came right up to him and said, it's a fucking Russians. And I
was dying. I like, yeah, yeah, man, maybe I don't

(37:02):
know. Now. I hope itwas some some group of assholes just just
hacking, you know, just todo it. That's what I hope for,
because the alternative is it's not aspretty. No. But that's the
thing, though, is that welove a victim, we love an enemy,
all right. So okay, I'mgonna go out on a limb here

(37:24):
and say one of the things thatcaused a lot of turmoil when Trump was
a president, but when Trump wasa president was that we didn't have an
enemy at the time because he wasa lunatic and basically was just like,
fuck with us, We'll nuke youyeah, you know, so we focused

(37:44):
our hate in instead of out.Sure, that's the thing that made like
Bush and Obama do better and haveless people coming after him constantly was both
of them had an enemy, right, Okay, so if it was an
attack, then they would love topush an enemy. You see what I'm

(38:08):
saying. Yeah, Like, regardlessof who it is, we have to
have somebody to hate, right,as a society, we have to have
somebody to hate. So to me, I wholeheartedly believe that some dirty motherfucker
hit the wrong button, flipped thewrong switch, you know, didn't you
know, put the right decimal pointin the right spot, didn't think about

(38:29):
this overheating that and causing this problemthe decimal point he didn't carry the decimal
I like that bitch. I knewit was gonna fight me in the s.
The only reason I kept saying wasI would I hope it was just
some group of kids hacking, youknow, right, just like the kids
that that took down all of Sonythere for like seven months, remember that.

(38:51):
Yeah, they took Sony down,you know. Yeah, but they
announced it, you know what Imean, Like they told people that's what
happened. So I'm like, ifif I know, it's it's not a
very h what do you call it, It's not a very good idea if
you're a big tech company to admitthat you've been hacked, you know what
I mean, Like, it's nota good idea. You're like, oh,
yeah, we got hacked, andeverybody that's got any kind of investment

(39:14):
in you is going to go outof that ship. Yeah. But there
was a lot of them that didthat, you know. Yeah, like
Facebook got hacked for a little while. There was a bunch of social media
stuff, PayPal, bunch of them, A bunch of them got hacked.
Because I remember there was like amean going around about like how porn Hub's
security is higher than Facebook, likeyou know, the porn website. It's

(39:37):
more about your security, you know. And I thought that shit was hilarious
just because the good people though,they are good people over there, you
know what I mean, they're doinggood work. They're doing God's work over
there. When God's work, butokay, they're doing work. Looking at
the current climate of conflict in thethe world right now, right if you

(40:02):
just take a glimpse at all ofthe conflicts that are actively going right now,
we're not very far off from aglobal problem. I'll say, I'm
not going to sit here in fearmonger people, because that's right, a
waste of time. But that's thenews job. Yeah, But just sitting

(40:22):
there and I flip through the news, I listen to some stuff. I
want to hear what's going on.And it's like, oh, these two,
these two countries. Yeah, yougotta have a paper. If you
don't have a paper, it doesn'tsell. I got guitar string packs.
Yeah that'll work anything, anything,really, you just gotta tap it.
Then, you know, yeah,too much Russia. Russia and Ukraine are

(40:46):
going at it. You got,but who's the other one that's going on?
Palestine and Israel? Israel centuries though, right, and you got all
this stuff happening and whatnot, andpeople are saying, you know, look
looking at it and saying like,damn, you know, we're actually a

(41:07):
lot closer to World War three rightnow than we have been in years.
And then you have the constant fearof Chinese hackers. And I've begun to
believe that that that rumor might notbe so so far off. If you
watch these guys play video games Okay, you get into any video game where

(41:32):
it's like a bunch of people anda bunch of Chinese dudes join, it's
it's their game. After that,Okay, they're good, They're they're good,
and that's a video game, right. I'm just saying, if they
want to hack, they're probably gonnado it, right, Yeah, Because
that's like I said, that's justa video game, and they fucking they

(41:54):
absolutely can kill video games if theywant to. And I'm like, man,
these guys ever get pissed off wherethey're like, you know what,
motherfucker, are we going to takeout your fucking cell phones for a while?
Right? See what that does toyour economy? That's just That's the
other thing too, is they reallyonly took out one major carrier. Yeah,

(42:15):
Like if they wanted to really youknow, do a test, why
wouldn't it have been all cell phonesacross the board? Yeah? That was
weird. Uh, there was alot of people when it happened. There

(42:37):
was a lot of people I wastalking to that were not even with any
of these carriers and their ship wasdown too. Yeah. So I'm like,
what does you know does at andt own all these or like how
does this work. You know whatI mean? Well, and that's I
mean really, there's only what threeor four cell phone tower companies out there,
and everybody bounces off of them,so like you end up with priority.

(43:01):
Okay, I can give it agreat example. I have two cell
phones. One is my personal one, one is my work phone. Right,
they both work off for the sametowers, but they're from different companies.
Okay, I won't name the companiesand all that, but I can

(43:21):
physically watch if I'm in a desolatearea where I do have good phone service
but there's not a lot of population, and the bars will kind of follow
each other and everything works at thesame speed. Like I've done this test
where I put them down and I'vehit Google and searched the same thing and
hit enter at the same time andthey work at the same speed. Yeah.

(43:42):
Then I get into an area that'sway more populated, right, say
like around the mall or something wherethere's thousands of people that are using this
same carrier, the main carrier,and I can physically watch my phone slow
way down. It'll read the samebars, but it'll be like like seconds,

(44:06):
like ten seconds slower, if notmore. There was a job Yeah,
it was a job I was onfor a year that if I was
at lunch and I wanted to scrollthrough Marketplace on Facebook, I couldn't do
it on the job because it wouldjust be gray blocks instead of pictures because
it was throttled so much. Andthis is a real thing. Throttling is

(44:28):
a real thing. Yeah, soyou know, I've seen this. But
they're two entirely different phone companies,but they share the same tower, right,
So suffice to say that, youknow, a lot of these people
may not realize that they were alsoon an AT and T plan, right

(44:50):
right, because I think there's reallyonly three. I think it's AT and
T, Verizon in Sprint. Ithink they own all three towers. It
makes more sense right now. Theremay be there may be situations where there's
no Verizon tower here and Verizon ispaying AT and T to bounce, okay,

(45:10):
and they may have got hit.But like I think Cricket, I'm
pretty sure Cricket is an AT andT. Yeah, it was death yep.
I think that maybe there's four.I can't remember because I know Team
Mobile's got some of its own.Yeah, but I don't think they have

(45:30):
as many. But like what's thepurple one? Uh, Boost Mobile,
Yeah, that's it. That's that'sthe orange. That's the orange you're thinking
of. Metro Metro. Metro Metrobounces off somebody else's towers. Boost bounces
off of somebody else's towers. TheSprint owns their own, but I think

(45:51):
they use an AT and T tower, but I'm not sure. Or maybe
it's a team mobile tower. Ican't remember. It's on location. Mike
an of this a lot better.He knows more about this than I do,
because that's what he did, wasradio communication in the military. Okay,
but he explained it all to meat one point, because you can
see it like physically happen when youcome to my house. Like some of

(46:14):
you guys have a better cell receptionthan I do. That's true. Yeah,
I mean even when I come though, it's it's still I still lose
all my signal. I'm on yourWi Fi at that point, right,
like mine goes into flat to soS mode. What is that s O
S. That's the thing you cando? Yeah, yeah, it says

(46:37):
so O S at the top andthere's no bars and it doesn't say you
know whatever it is t FW orwhat is it. The five five G
doesn't say that at the top.It just says S O S. But
like, you know, some peoplecome out here and they have two bars

(46:57):
signals. It's really weird. I'tactually since I switched carriers, but I
haven't noticed in yet. Let's comingover there. But yeah, to me,
it just doesn't make sense for itto be an attack on this sense. Mm hmm
