I mean, I don't know if it's a clean house.
But at least Builton he has somebody who can be trusted.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
The man.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
I've a lot of the story from the beginning. It's
just crazy. And this is what dog is all about.
This is what happened. Here is exactly what they're trying
to do. It's like, just give me a bottle wine
and pull away the check books.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, I don't know about Doge. I think Elion Musk
should not do Doge. I don't think I get I
don't think say something he's got he's got contracts from NASA,
and I mean, is that gonna affect his contracts from
NASA's by working with the federal government.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
The way way. You know how far we should go
and how far we can't. I don't do out there Greenland.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
I come on, well, there is there is a base,
but we have a base out Greenland as it is.
I heard we have a base in Greenland.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
For this is the ocean too. I mean, there's he's
just he's there's a bigger point.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Did you know that when Russia goes with a Russian
ship goes to the Panama Canal, they have a.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
They pay more money.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
There's a tarot on those ships.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Did you know that.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
From before or now? Now? That's Coco the Bear.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I know, I was I was watching something that I
saw that, and I don't like our mister Kennedy. I
don't like him because he's not a doctor. He believes
what he believes.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
He doesn't have doctor.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Joe Biden was a doctor in education. I mean, he's
no doctor. He's a lawyer. So was he doing talking
about medical stuff? Vaccines and stuff. I mean there's some vaccines.
We get carried away on vaccines, but some vaccines are good,
like the COVID vaccine. I believe that's good. But I mean,
I'm not a doctor. I can't say I play one

(05:14):
on TV. But I don't think he should not talk
about things he doesn't know or things that he does
he thinks he knows things about. He has no medical degree. Okay,
he's oh yeah, we played addicted.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
By roy.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Okay, let's go into this, So go ahead, we.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Played Addicted by Royal Republic. I just wanted to tell
you that that.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Though, Yeah, this whole thing seems like people are addicted
to something or somebody's being addicted to somebody. It's just
this whole thing is taking a wild turn. I hope
attitude simmered down a little bit. It just seems like
just a bunch of shit right now that we just
got to figure out how deep it is. I think

(06:00):
there's about fans in America to hit all the ship
that's gonna hit. I think there's going to be more
ship than fans.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I think so too. I think so too.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think that we're going to have a big sh
a big shie storm of things going on. I'm not
a real big fan.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
There's a lot of hidden mystery behind, you know, a
lot of different subjects and how all this works, right.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, I just don't care for someone who doesn't
really have a medical degree telling us what kind of
vaccines or whatever.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
He has no track record as a doctor. He is
a lawyer.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Okay, let's go back to the president. She doesn't have
one either. He no listen to the sentence he said
she the president. She did not have Okay, here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
You're talking about.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Last in the last five or six months of the
Biden administration, would you say that you saw a recognizable
decline in his cognitive abilities?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, I did, I really did. I mean I think
that he was well.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Didn't have to pick up. Who would be the first
person to see it?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
His wife, probably his wife.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Probably his wife is a doctor, doctor Joe Biden, who's
a doctor of education. It's a doctorate. It's who do
you think has been helping him to the podium, coaching
him and redirecting him and focusing him on what he
needed to do. His wife is doctor Joe. Who should

(07:46):
be impeached? Or should it be the staff who was
negligent in saying, Hey, I think the chi's a siding
off the pizza over here. You guys might want to
level this thing out a little. Probably would have stopt
Camela from running for the way to cut this six most.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Early, or maybe we should have. I don't know. I mean,
I'm saying, I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
I won't, I won't grow for the cognizant declined, and
it's it's apparent early, and it's.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
I think that's the biggest cover of any of the
I mean, we can go UFOs, we can go JFK.
You know, the shooting and the paties that we're all
involved in, all these other.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Things, and money running out of Iran and uh.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
Afghanistan because it's just a pile of money that everybody
keeps churning and everybody gets paid.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
I mean those out of all, the biggest crime.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
I'm seeing right now is the fact that our next generation,
in the generation after, if we don't correct this now,
are going to pay for those sins.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I agree with you. I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean we I don't know who is behind a
White House. I don't know if he didn't.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
For staff, he can tell when he said something and
he doesn't remember it the next.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Day, I mean, dull well, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's not just doctor Jill who should be impeached. But
that's the biggest cover up of all because that also
led to the cover up of ball. When you seeing
billions and trillions and for the next generation's bill if
you don't correct it now kind of activity, I'm a
little pissed. I'm a little piss that, you know, those
people out there thinking that they're never going to get

(09:41):
Social Security. I mean I was thinking in the seventies,
but now that it's a reality, some people aren't learning
on that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I agree with you the primary income, but they're not
going to pay the electric bills without it. I agree
with you one hundred percent about that. I really do,
I really do. I want to worried.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
About this thing getting a little out of control here,
and I think it's a good, healthy change. What the
court's decide. Somebody does this, Oh what hope some guys,
we'll finally want to see it. We'll take it to
court and let the judges decide. I think the most

(10:20):
unusual thing I've seen so far is Trump saying that
babies born here by illegal occupation does not mean that
that child was born in America and he has b rights.
It just means it was born in America. And I'm like, oh, geez,

(10:42):
you want to split that line. It means that, you know,
if you got to remove the parents, the child doesn't
have a footholder the uh uh citizenship. Well they all
want to go not a great idea, Yeah, but I
don't have the balls to even go there and think

(11:04):
that way.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I know in China that if you're not Chinese, if
you're born in China and you're not Chinese urgent. You know,
if your parents are not Chinese and you're born in
China and you're like you're white, you're not a Chinese citizen.
I'm not for a fact, because I have a friend
who was born in China and his parents were missionaries,

(11:26):
and he said he was never he's not a Chinese citizen.
And so he I said, what a citizen are.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
To passport and all the luxuries in China?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, I mean, so he was his parents were missionaries
and stuff like that, So he was not considered a
Chinese citizen. He was considered an American, I guess, or white.
I don't know, well I was.

Speaker 9 (11:50):
I did see a video yesterday that I was trying
to get caught up on things, and I was watching
a channel one of these crypto guys Woods on the.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Isle of Man Dance Freed.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
I love being in his new income tax.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wow, no in can tax at all? That'd be nice.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
That's motorcycle race you'll ever seen in your life?

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Wait, isn't the man is an is?

Speaker 9 (12:21):
Man is going to be part of my My next
year's world tour is of Man.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I may just stay. I don't know, I'm just saying.
I may just say.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
Dad, broker, Dad Neil, and you're broker on the Isle
of Man. Have you the house or oh Dad, yes, at.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
The Isle of Man. He'll he'll find you a nice little.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Okay for the operators are still standing by.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Isn't the Isle Man part of England as part of
the UK?

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Well? Tell, like off the it's in the south east
portion off sea, like say India. It's way out there.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh so it's not part of that was part of
the you the island.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
There was a motorcycle race that runs through that around
the island every year at about one hundred and eighty
miles an hour with no with no barriers. Wow, it's
just nipped through town.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
That'd be fun.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I was watching a thing on Keanu Reid and he
has his own motorcycle company called arch Or. I think
it's College Adminishire and I guess his motorcycles are pretty expensive.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I don't know. He seems like a very down there person.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
He is he is. That's a rat. There's a lot
to be said about.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
The Yeah, I agree with you because I mean, you.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Know, I mean he maintained his essence without how they
would you know, whatever was going on in front of him,
didn't get sucked and stayed himself to himself, and it's
kind of benefits, I gotta tell you.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, he doesn't have a car. He has a motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't think he drives a car, and he's always riding.
I don't know where he lives in New York or LA.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I think he's a small apartment and he's just taking
care of himself, you know, doing what he's got to do.
And I think I think he gives a lot of
money to charities and helps up people. Yeah, so I mean,
I really think I really applaud him for being a
guy who's not as selfish and self centered like some

(14:45):
Hollywood stars.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
I mean, a good friend of mine.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
He had a TV show in the early two thousands
and it was called Big and he was a big
guy and he said that people who I mean, he
met Jesse James and they were the same production company
and Discovery, and Jesse James was not really a nice
person to him.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
And so I don't know.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Opening song very well.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah Jesse James.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, Yeah, Okay, I think he has I think I
turned him into.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
A yes, I don't know. James, I I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean, I know he lives in Austin, Texas now,
and I know he was with he dated the most
beautiful woman in the world, Sandra Bowleck.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh God, I think she's beautiful. I don't know. And
he married her and he screwed it up. Wow. I
just don't know how.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
I don't know how people who have a good thing
and then jump onto something that's really messed up. If
I ad a good relationship with a good person and caring,
I don't understand that people.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
I don't know. Let's move on Dan.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
What else is going on in Dan's world, because the
men's world, there's nothing going on.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
That's a very party time. I did talk to a
couple of people who have been that I've noticed in
the podcasting industry and in the TV industry and video industry,
and I'm hoping that maybe we can use this line

(16:37):
of communication a little better to identify the ones who
really need help the most and get them some help,
because right now it's probably the last good time in
our lifetime before the bills are in and tally's tallied
up and the tax has changed. Might be a good
time to take a look around. And you know, if

(17:00):
you have a landlord that's you know, not really meet
mere standards. I got to tell you, maybe a good
time to look. There's a lot of government other than
the mortgage UH text certificate discount. There are still local
and UH state UH for over here in Indiana, Chicken

(17:21):
a local area for things that apply to you.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
I can do that. I know you think.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
This is getting to be, you know, like the last
least the last the least time you'll see the shoot fall.
It felt just like this in oh One, just like this.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, I can't I just see that.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
I mean, I know in Arlington, is it Arlington Heights
where you could if you're a first time buyer that
you could get a something from the city of Arlington
Heights like a some hell for your down payment on
the house. And if you buy a house in Arlington Heights, yep,
and they'll.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Throw five thousand dollars that you'll make it stay for
ten years to get the whole frist dollars. It's usually
the catch. Yeah, well, I don't don't just throw it
at you, you know, and say here, welcome to It's
not the welcome wagon of yesteryear.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
I'll leaven know the welcome wagon yesteryear. You never know.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh, it's one of the best realtor tricks out there.
You find out who's moved in. Oh, I see there
you move. Here's a basket for a year. Here's a basket.
You know, here's the certificates welcome. If you have any
questions about your neighborhood or anything that's going on, you
make me your first call.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Wow, I never knew that.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean, I you know, I grew up in Well,
I grew up in the city you grew up in,
you go up in Lymels. I grew up in the
old Austin area, and that was a really Now it's
really you leave the neighborhood before it gets staric or
you get shot. I mean, there's a lot of kids.
I don't understand these kids I grew up with who

(19:10):
still live in their family house in the old neighborhood.
I mean, it's a bad area to live in, but
they're still living there. I mean, one guy lives in
his parents' house and one guy lives in his grandfather's
old house. And I said, why don't you just turn
around and sell it? Well, it's my grandfather's house, but
the neighborhood is not good to live in as it is,

(19:32):
And then they just look at me like I'm nuts.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
So well, there's a big miss no more that says
that if your parents leave for you something like like
let's say, a home or a second home, or leaves
you something like a trailer, you're supposed to keep that forever.
It was given to you for you to decide what

(19:58):
to do with and then never decide to sell it
right away or sell it at the market, wait for
the market peak, wait for summer. You know. It was like,
I hate that house. I don't want it. Let's figure
out what to do with it. I would rather you
sell the house while you're alive, give the kids the

(20:21):
money and give money and give them the start for
their own houses, and watch your kids grow up in
a safer place than what you came from.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, I mean my own neighborhood is the old Austin area.
I mean you let cross the expressway and there was
Columbus Park and you don't go to Columbus Park.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I didn't go to Columbus Park.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
So I mean, oh, I was in LG today and
there's people. It's like fifty four degrees here, and the
LGA was about fifty five or fifty four. And they're
on the ice still, and the ice and you can
see the ice is melting, and there's trucks on the ice,
and I don't know what people are doing over there

(21:06):
in February.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, it's February. The ice is.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Stop writing about that bright light that was coming up
from the clouds that were grain no more, that's right.

coming in, and you know we're gonna enjoy the springtime
and have a better days. You know, flowers are come
in and you gotta work. You gotta work it. I mean,
if you have a backyard, you gotta work it. You
gotta clean your yard up for the springtime. I mean,

(21:41):
I gotta. I got a lot of things to do
in my backyard, analogy and stuff like that, and work
my house. And my brother and I are talking about
going to Sicily, where our parents are from, and taking
the tour of Sicily and trying to calm my cousins
into going with us and see what happens. We have
