(01:41):
how we begin another counterculture Wise podcast. Hello, Hello everybody,
It has been such an amazing week. It's been so
weird these past couple of days. I do apologize for
the last week's a broadcast that was just like okay,
that's all you get no more. There were a lot
of mitigating factors. We are not going to go into them.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
You're not going to them, not going into them at all.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
However, this week you shall be graced with not only
a full podcast, but when it's going to be on time.
So help us God, Hi, Hi, everybody, I am your
hostess with the most Melanie Hope. And with me to
my right is my right hand man, my best friend,
my co host happens to be my husband, and my

(02:29):
sweet baboo mister James.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Hi, everybody, let's give an extra round of applause for
Melanie for just being amazing. I want to apologize in
advance for my sore throat I have. I have have
a steady flow, still.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Hacking up alone, just like last week. Yeah, we don't
have a cough button.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Sorry, we're just gonna I'm just gonna cough, but I'm
not gonna cough direct please no, So I just have
a quick question before we continue, all right, I.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Will hope we have a quick answer.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, when a UPS employee takes maternity to leave. Are
they out for delivery?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I do know that when they get really upset, they
do not go postal, they go parcel.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, well, folks, it has been a week. Last week
we ended our podcast with kind of speculating on who
this assassin dude is, and now we have a lot
more information, so more than we want.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, this is pretty pretty astoundingly bad.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, but before we go into that, do we have
any updates, any positive anything we want to share?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I nothing off the top of my head. Just things
are going better. Yeah, things are going well. I'm looking
forward to an amazing new year.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I think the new year is going to be amazing.
I think we're gonna have an awesome new year. And
we had an an interview which you take in on Wednesday,
really fun interview. I think you'll enjoy it. We've got
lots more coming up. So this is going to be
the year of interviews because we have so many people

(04:16):
contacting us, which is fun. If you would like to
be now I'm coughing, if you would like to be
a guest on our show, you can head on over
to Counterculture as it did can and hit the button
that says, you know the on our show and fill
it all out, and we are like thrilled to contact you.
We have a lot of fun, even with people we

(04:38):
disagree with. So the last interview that you saw this week,
and some people noted that I bowed out, I was
not there. That was for let's just say that was
very very specific reason. And the gentleman was sweet, he

(04:58):
was kind. The interview went very well with him and gin.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I thought it went really.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, and it was probably everybody's best interest that I
was not.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was thought provoking, but we didn't want to get
we didn't want to get to get too argued.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm not gonna say I was gonna argue with him.
I just I I had very strong feelings, and I
am mature enough to understand that I may not have
been able to control them, and immature enough to know
that I may not have been able to control them.
So that's how pathetic I am.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I mean, I don't, I don't mean to. I'm not
saying this to sound mean, but sometimes it's better if
just one of us interviews the other person. Because for example,
we got you have one coming up that is so
long haired, and and I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, intellectual mathematician, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm I'm a language guy, not a mask guy.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
So freaking brilliant, and it's it's going to be not easy.
I'm not going to be able to meet him where
he is because he's just way above my head. But
I'm going to do my best, So I'll be delving
into that book. But the one we had today, she
was brilliant and kind and beautiful and had so much

(06:22):
to say.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
And this is going to be of particular interest to
families of people who are living with Alzheimer's, and I
use that term living with very.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Carefully, living with, not suffering from Right. Shout out goes
to Jill Biden. I hope she finds this book. Yeah,
And I'm not saying.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
That with anything, no, no one.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I think I think it's I think it's important if you,
if you care for somebody, or if you have someone
in your family who has this, it's essential you listen
to this and and hopefully pick up a copy of
her book. We'll get into that more. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Like I said, I think it was a really good interview.
I found her extremely personable and it was enjoyable, fun
and informative, so enjoy and moving right along. Let's say
get into the not so fun stuff. Let's talk about this, Luigi.

(07:27):
The memes write themselves.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I'm telling you, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Telling you this is this is rough.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Now, this is what most of you probably know. But
we're also going to give you some stuff you may
not know, which is kind of going to be eye opening.
It was to me. A person of interest was nabbed
Monday and the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian
Thompson busted possibly trying to use a fake idea in

(07:58):
a McDonald's. Why would you use a fake idea?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Why do you need an idea at McDonald's. I mean,
you don't need an idea to vote, so why would you.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Need an id to go to order a quarter pounder?
I have no bloody.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Idea A happy meal? And he looks like a sweet guy.
He looks like a nice sweet he's.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Not a dummy. I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I'm still we okay. So for those of you who
only listen you know, Spotify, all of those places, I
thank you for it. Yeah, thank you. I cut off
the entire back half of our podcast because so much
information came in while we were recording that everything we

(08:40):
said had no bearing for those of you who watch
on YouTube, which by the way, hates our guts. And
we now have a second heart strike for supposedly using
video from TikTok that was attributed to somebody who reposted
the TikTok video on YouTube and then claimed it as
there and then took us down. It's a long story, anyway,

(09:06):
we basically got it. Wasn't just a nice little DMCA.
We got a hard strike, and our entire podcast was
taken down by another YouTube creator who has fewer views
than the podcast that we had posted had has fewer

(09:27):
views on the video that they're claiming. Yet the video
that they're claiming is not their original content. They poached
that from the original who we accredited on our video.
They poached it from them, changed the music, posted it

(09:49):
on their YouTube site, and then went out and copyright
claimed anybody who used the original TikTok video, regardless of
whether they gave it you know at a Yeah, So
we got a hard strike, our video got deleted, and
if we get one more strike, our entire YouTube channel

(10:10):
is going to be deleted. Which doesn't matter because they've
been screwed with it so bad we hardly have any
This was.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Involving the video some brilliant AI creator came up with
that had Trump and Biden with the classic rock song
why Can't We Be Friends? By War?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
But the person who claimed it had taken the original
stripped it of that music, put fake other music that
they got from the YouTube archived YANKI that you can get,
not their video. It wasn't their video. They claimed a
video that wasn't theirs, then claimed our entire podcast. So

(10:51):
for the like what one and a half minutes, the
ninety seconds we had of that video, which, by the way,
we were talking over the entire time we barely.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
The music was barely being heard in the background.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
First, it doesn't matter about the music because they completely
they didn't even use the music in their video, claimed
it anyway, and our only recourse is to file a counterclaim.
The only place the counterclaim goes is to the person
that claimed we took their content, and then they they

(11:28):
are the ones that have all the power to say
whether oh that was fair use or whoops, we were mistaken. Now,
if somebody is so vile and if this actually does
get posted and it stays, which I doubt because YouTube
pays our guts. If somebody is so vile and dishonest

(11:50):
that they will post something that is not theirs, that
they did not create, and then go out and find
anybody who uses that footage, gives the credit to the
original creator, drastically modifies it so it falls well within

(12:12):
fair use, and then they try to claim it as
their own even though they are not the original creator.
They're the ones who have all the power. If they're
so vile that they're willing to do that, what are
the chances that they are going to reply to our

(12:34):
counter argument and say, oh, golly, you're right, we were wrong.
What are the chances zippity doo dah. Literally yet not
a ain't gonna hap.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't you know, they don't matter. There's so many
alternatives now.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Well, yeah, and that's the thing. YouTube, If you were
to ever hear this, which I doubt you will, YouTube,
this kind of garbage is what is making you obsolete.
This is what is making you a platform that people
are leaving in droves like rats leaving a sinking ship.

(13:17):
Because when you treat your actual creators, your your real, actual,
honest creators. When you treat them like this, you lose everything.
This this I followed this all the way back to
their their website. This is a complete scam. Their video

(13:42):
was not original. It had nothing to do with them
and what they do. They and we're not even monetized.
We're a teeny tiny channel. You know. It's not like
they're taking down timcast or something. You know, We're an
any bitty channel.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
And they had to go out of their way to
not just oh hey, d mc as, but no, give
us a hard strike. We're one step away because this
is our second heard strike in a week. The first
one came and it was really sad. It's the first
one was like months old.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
We got a hard strike for I'm not going to
go too much for them to because I don't want
to ran too. We are going to as part of
our content, and I'm sure YouTube is gonna love this.
But they make you go through I kind of feel
for Jordan Peterson right now. They want you to go
through programming school. I mean, oh uh yeah, program they

(14:43):
want you to go right which, by the way, I've
already done, which is why I know that both of
the strikes that we have on our account right now
are focus based on their own schooling. So I thought, hey,
since you meant you make us or you tell us,

(15:05):
we must go through this, this copyright schooling in order
to be allowed to have these hard strikes drop off
of our content. And I think it's three to six months.
I can't remember the exact timeframe. Why don't we Why
don't we post that? Why don't we go through that
training together?

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Why don't we as as a community learn what it
is that YouTube wants us to learn so that I
can publicly prove that both of the hard strikes we
got were completely bogus according to their own.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Terms of service. So we'll be doing that in this
next week.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Talk about the guy, like, I'm like looking kid, he's
not such a good kid. He's an IVY League graduate,
he's a prep school valedictorian, he's a nerd. He's like
total I mean, and he's good looking and he has
like all the goods. Why they.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, did he just lose his mind? I think probably
did to the propaganda mills.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Maybe I must have, because.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Why do you take a pop a? You know, this
random guy instead.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Of like it was not a random guy. It was
not a random guy.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
It was not even this guy. The reason he is
a elegatory and rich and privileged in all of these
things is because his family is in the exact same business.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yes, the guy he popped, Yes, I don't. We might
never know. But they found him at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
And apparently he had a manifesto. All these numbnuts have manifestos.
What is it with these people in manifesto?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
He had the weapon he.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Had, Yeah, he had the weapon he had. We had
every possible ghost guns, silence are four are fake id's.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
It's no such a thing as silencers.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well maybe not, but that's what it says in the article.
And I'm just reading it because I'm a schmuck. Okay, okay,
all right, So anyway for fake id's.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
So he has what.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Mario, Giuseppe Andre Andre and Steve, Steve and Bob and.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Other items quote quote consistent quote Why is the word consistent.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Because it's a quotation from the police or something, I guess, So, yeah, quotations.
So yeah, he's uh.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Another items consistent with what authorities we're looking for in
the case, sources said, So.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Pretty well known, pretty decent shot anyway, Is that.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
The same guy? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
It does look like him, it does look like.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I grew up in Maryland. Last use of Hawaiian address
was now when McDonald's employees recognized him and phoned in
to a tip and a tip to Lohole cops.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
So I guess the guy who turned him in is
gonna reward now.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So New York City and cap a guy in plain sight,
knowing full well that you're on camera, and then you just,
you know, pedal off on a bicycle and dirpty during
your way to where was he? Philly?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Philly?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
And you keep the gun.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
And the first thing you do is lose the gun. Stupid,
And you.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Keep the bag and you and you keep your manifesto.
And it's like, what do you just like stick get.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
On that stuff and go to Mexico take a thumbprint.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
On the guy's forehead.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
It's like, I'm and he's supposed to be this brilliant dude.
I don't know. I'm still I'm still just not buying it.
I'm still I don't It's.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Just, well, there's a lot of weirdness involving this guy
and his family, which we're about to reveal to anybody
who hasn't been paying too much attention to this.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
So Vale val valedictorian of his twenty sixteen graduating class
at Gilman in School. Now, folks, Gilman is not just
you know, oh I went to po dunk High School.
Gilman is pinky.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, it's it's a preppy, very preppy school.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yees, not just anybody can get into that one. He
played soccer, studied at the University of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean, if you're valedictorian of the class, you're not
You're not exactly hiding under a rock. You're like pretty
miss you're mister popular and so. Yeah, and keep in mind,
make sense.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
If he is the guy who did this, he's not
just an oh you know, I killed a guy. He
is a cold blooded assassin who shot the guy in
the back, shot him from behind like a woos. So
if he isn't the shooter and the real shooter is listening,
you're a woos shooting somebody in the back. It doesn't

(20:24):
get any pussier than that.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I know Jim doesn't like it when I use that Trump,
It wouldn't matter if she'll use it for the rest
of her life.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
We're done, walks up to the dude, shoots him in
the back. Doesn't even have the balls to confront God.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Pussy balls on the same and.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Put them together. Oh my goodness, praise God from her.
As the guy that you murdered in cold blood and
like an itty bitty wossy child, shot him in the
back one of those teeth. And this is the guy

(21:05):
that supposedly did it. I'm still struggling with the idea
that he did. I mean maybe, I don't know, and
shot dead. Here's what we know. At six forty four am,
the victim is walking alone toward the New York Hilton
sixth Avenue, his hotel. The shooter, who was lying in

(21:29):
wait alongside the building, fires at him. Shooter then runs
to an alleyway between fifty fourth and fifty fifth. Once
at West fifty fifth, he continues to walk on sixth Avenue,
where he gets onto an electric bike. Shooter rides north
on Fifth Avenue towards Central Park. I have been at

(21:49):
this exact location in Central Park. Six forty eight am.
The shooter rides the bike into Center Drive and off
he goes bye bye.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
He travels. Man, he's got a hope.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
He still don't have a motive. I know that he
was like screeching and whatnot as he was being pulled in.
Now here's what's confusing me. They found a backpack which
they thought was the backpack in the woods. Do they
say what was in it? Doesn't say what isn't it?

(22:30):
But then when they found him at McDonald's, they found
a backpack that had all the stuff in it. So
it's like, okay, well, which backpack was it? And why
would he toss one backpack only to keep another backpack
that had literally all the incriminating evidence, I mean, right
down to a confession. Basically, why would that be a thing?

(22:56):
Why would he throw one into the woods and then
keep one that had all the stuff in it. I'm
so confused by this. But here's an interesting thing. He's
actually directly tied to Nancy Belowsi's surprise, surprise, surprise. So
we're gonna talk about, you know, gang families, and I'm

(23:19):
not talking.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Problem with it.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, mafia, I mean Pelosi. It's well known. She's basically
a member of the mafia. Her family goes back and
she's always i mean just look at her, you know,
the way she talks, and yeah, there are ties there.

(23:42):
So the grandfather of the shooter, he was a friend
of the Pelosi family. Now Jin bless his beautiful sweet soul, says, well,
what doesn't mean anything?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Well, I wasn't actually going to say that on the
show itself. No, I just thought it was I just.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Thought it was cute because oh, yeah, the grandfather is this,
uh the friend of the Pelosi family. And you're all like, well,
that doesn't mean anything, Okay, I.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Just want to I was.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Cute because I'm wondering how many other people can think
that way. It might be something that's wrong with me,
and I'm willing to open it up to that. So
when I hear his dad or his grandfather or buddies
with you know this craze, lunatic, psychotic broad that just

(24:41):
will not step down, who's made everything worse and everything
she touches terms to crap and is incredibly powerful and
has gotten filthy, stinking rich off the back of the
taxpayers who she couldn't give a crap about. Out Ah,

(25:03):
to say that that has nothing to do with the
offspring it may or may not kind of blows my mind.
And well, I'm not saying this to be derogatory. To
be honest, I'm saying this because I wish I could
be that innocent. I wish I could see something like
this and say, oh, yeah, well, I mean, you know,

(25:24):
just because they're in bed with each other doesn't mean
they actually did anything.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, no, but I'm talking about his grandfather, not his
relationship with the Pelosi's brother does don't even know them.
I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
I just I was not even going to, oh, well
we did it.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
No, I mean, like I said, I thought it was cute,
all right. So his grandfather was a friend of the
Pelosi family. He was arrested Monday charge at the murder
Bloody Bloody fatally shot following the shooting, and emerged that
Luigi is from an at Maryland real estate family, with
his grandfather Nicholas Mangione, a self made real estate developer. One.

(26:08):
Why why is it? It's like they're lionizing this person. Oh,
he's a self made real estate developer. So is Trump.
But you called him hitler. Oh and Trump never shot
anybody in cold blood, just saying and here the guys
in country clubs nursing homes and a radio station. He

(26:32):
does look a little crazy in that picture. Who wrote this?
Because this is oh, it's newsweek, Okay. I was expecting
it to be some like right right wing rag bit,
It's newsweek. Nicholas among Nioni also had links to the
family the former Speaker of the House, who is from
a prominent Italian American family in Baltimore. We knew that

(26:53):
nineteen ninety five, Thomas dia lessandro I, the former Baltimore
may error and late brother of Pelosi, discussed his relationship
with Nicholas Mangioni in The Sun. Nicholas Mangioni is foremost
identified as a family man. He told the newspaper that's
his calling card, even before he became a successful businessman.

(27:15):
He is maybe a little rough around the edges and
maybe with an aggressive personality, but a man with a
big heart. Trump he earned his success the hard way.
I know it does. But Trump is literally hitler and
this guy is a hero. So we just have to
be really careful here. Now. It's unclear if Nancy Pelosi
ever met Nicholas. Of course they tried to comment her.

(27:39):
She's not gonna answer, And like the Pelosis. Nicholas Manzoni
had strong links to his Italian immigrant wrote something that
he said fueled.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
His business business business vengeance.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, okay, just saying birds of a feather, okay, And
like I said, I am not saying anything in particular,
just something to think about unless you're gym and then
it's like, why why would I think about that.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'm letting the matter drop. Try to like, No, it's cute.
Stop with the cute. You don't cute it is.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's cute anyway, and it's cute that you don't like
being cute.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I like being cute in the moment calls for it.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I thought the moment called for it.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Whatever. Okay, the views expressed on caunterculture wise, that is
brought over here.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Again. Darn, it's messing with her.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
You're not all.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Right, okay, So skipping on down to some more fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
This came out today. She didn't know about it.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I did not know about this, and I'm kind of
excited about it because I have been saying, after what
they did to Nicholas Sandmon, and I prayed that he
would find a decent lawyer that would help him.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh he got, he got, Oh.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
It was so big they won't let us talk about it.
You got a wolf with so sick of these media
companies just saying whatever in the frick they want. And
and I you know, Rachel mad Cow got off by
them literally saying literally saying she's too stupid to understand what.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
She's saying entertainment.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
She's not literally saying that. Okay. Meanwhile, Alex Jones, who
had you know, the same defense. You know, it's it's
a character he's playing. They sue him for a billion
dollars what was it then?

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Billion? Forget insane, insane, realistic?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, yeah, and he loses everything, whereas mad Cow is
just stirped at her and gets away with it.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
And she's out there five million cut.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
She can works one day a freaking week. And the
thing is, I'm not gonna say she's stupid. She's not
dumb woman, she's manipulative, she's mentally incapacitated. The woman is insane.
Look in her eyes, she's nuts. Like, you can be

(30:32):
highly intelligent and still be guano crazy. Okay, I didn't
want to say badass, but you know what guano means
the same thing, absolutely out of your mind, over the top,
teds insane and she is just look in her eyes,
look in her eyes. So anybody who listens, and there's

(30:52):
nobody who listened to hers, to listen to her. But
the woman is not well. She's not well, and she
needs help. And thank goodness, she has on more than
one occasion said that she does it. She is in therapy,
she needs it. And I hope she continues, and I
wish her well. But she has got to stop lying.
And it's not just lying, you know, little White lives

(31:17):
here and there. It's making crap up, just fabricating it
whole cloth.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's as full.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
It is. It's absolutely full on slander. And she gets
away with it. And I'm glad to see that. Well,
I don't care how silly it sounds. I'm glad to
see that Trump is getting ligitious and hitting back. Let's
do this well, he's already got a win. I'll let
you read this one, Jim.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
This makes me happy, me too, And.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I want to see dozens more of these.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
See And there's this great photo of Trump and Scooter
from the Muppet Show.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Scooter from the Muppet Show.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Anyway, I'm just kidding, George, Okay, ABC News will pay
fifteen million dollars to a presidential foundation and museum in
a settlement reached with President elect Donald Trump in his
defamation suit against the network and actor, sorry anchor George Stephanopolis.
That was not an intentional mistake, Dorites.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
He try to interview him and it didn't go well.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
No, that was yeah. I think I think Rush Limbaugh,
the late great lamented Rush Limbaugh called this guy, George
Stepan all of us. Anyway, The settlement, which was which
was filed publicly Saturday, reveals the network will also pay
one million dollars in Trump's attorney's fees and will issue
an apology. Wow, that's a lot of money. Of course,

(32:45):
when you're Disney, it doesn't matter. You can go the
fifteen million. You know, they'll they'll make at least that
much on the Snow White movie coming out next year. Anyway.
That's about all the It costs three hundred and fifty
million dollars to make. It'll make about fifteen million.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Get about six fifteen popcorn sales and that's it.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, maybe we'll see million. I mean, I pray that
that thing gets buried. I pray that it just it
makes zero money and that dingling batstuff, star of the
movie is just vile, vile human being. Anyway, we've gone
off on more tangents. We haven't gotten to a single

(33:22):
story without going off on a ten minute tangent for
each show'll be for the last, it'll be the first
ten hour broadcast.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Well, let's try some seacns, some what's its used to
throw some geometry at him and his face goes blank.
And that's what the tangents. Let's do some sea cans.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Okay, I get the joke now, but good god. ABC
News will issue the following statement as an editor's note
in the online article The Center of the Suit by
ABC Knows and George Stephanopolis regret statements regarding President Donald J.
Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopolis. Why do
I have to keep saying his long ass name? But
represented Stephanopolis Stefanow snuffle up, I guess with Representative Nancy

(34:04):
Mace on ABC's This Week on March tenth, twenty twenty four,
which is not this Week. Where pleased at the parties
that racing agreement to dismissed the lawsuit on the terms
of the court filing. An ABC News spokesperson wrote in
a statement. Trump filed the lawsuit in Florida federal court
earlier this year, arguing that Stephanopolis and ABC News defamed

(34:25):
him when the anchor said ten times ten times during
a contentious on air interview with South Carolina GOP representative
Nancy Mace in March that the jury found Trump had
raped Egen Carroll.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
The jury did not find that didn't even know the broad. Yeah,
and she's Gowano crazy. Yep, Carrol out of her mind.
That's another person. You look in her eyes, you're like, oh,
she is not a safe person to be around.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
So here we go. Carol alleged that Trump raped during
a department store in the mid nineteen nineties and that
he defamed, but when he denied.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Her claim, didn't eaging Carol offer to buy uh Rachel
Maddow motorcycle or something.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I had never heard any of a bold.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Dyke and I don't need to buy you a motorcycle.
I think there's a video of that somewhere. I'll have
to find it.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
She flirted with the with.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
The what's his name?

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh name, Well, yeah, we're on a show. Watch his
name if anyway, the guy from C Anderson Cooper.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Okay, fascinated, I find you fascinated.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
And he's just cringing. You can just see. I mean,
he's trying to keep get In twenty twenty three, a
jury found the Trump sexually abused Carol sufficient to hold
him liable for battery, though it did not find that
Carol proved he raped her.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
He wasn't even there.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah. The jury awarded Carol five million dollars for battery
and defamation. In January, Carroll was awarded an additional eighty
three point three million dollars in damages for defamatory statements
made by Trump that disparaged her and denied the rape allegation.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Based on a Law and Order episode.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Don't dun't dun't dn.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Dumn boom boom.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Our judge concluded in August twenty twenty three, when dismissing
Trump's countersuit against Carroll, that the claim Trump raped Carroll
was substantially true, which was a jury never mind. The
judge wrote, the Trump rap dur in the broader sense
of that word as people generally understand it, though not
as it is narrowly defined by New York state law.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
What does that even mean? That is such Namsey Pamsy
mealy mouthed.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
That is, we can destroy our political enemies. That's what
it means.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
It's just double speak. It's garbage, that means nothing.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
In a lawsuit filed against.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Jim, I just raped you. According to New York, sorry,
my dad.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Unfortunately, there's no possible way you could rape me because
that would imply that I would be against it.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Some but according to New York a lot.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
We don't live in New York.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
It doesn't matter if you regret it, like sixty years later,
you can come out and go okay. There were so
many things going against her. For instance, the dress hadn't
even been designed yet she made it all up. It's

(37:28):
completely fabricated. And you listen to any interview she's ever done,
the woman is insane. And he was not found guilty
of right. Oh, by the way, just using that word
on YouTube gets you banned.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Or ape that is what he did to me.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Anyway not to mention that.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Okay, I don't want to go into the US A
person monologue. But if you have been assaulted, not even raped,
just assaulted, like to the point where you feared that
might happen that person would not be the favorite show

(38:11):
that you watch. She said The Apprentice was her favorite show.
How does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (38:21):
She doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Well, no, because she's insane, and much like certain other people,
she's paid to be insane, and if it's ordelible on
her hyper campus, she'll say.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Whatever she wants to. They're all strange looking blonde women.
Have you noticed that.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, you find somebody that has just a modicum of
the tiniest bit, well they can say, oh, she's a
callers professor, so what whatever, and they're like, oh, sure
can be trusted. She had the date wrong, the time wrong,

(39:04):
the year wrong. Yeah, no idea where she was, how
it happened. Okay, and he if we're talking about, you know,
little miss hippocampus. He kept very specific records and was
able to completely disprove everything she said, but still has

(39:24):
been labeled what she called him, all right, in this case,
she didn't know the date at the time, she knew
the place, She could not place him there, he could
not place him there, and everything else she tells after
that it was completely abandoned and they managed to get

(39:45):
into a locked dressing room. Okay, So all of these
things had to just you know, fall into exact place.
There was nobody, no employee within the vicinity. The dressing
rooms that are locked that you have to ask permission
to go into are magically unlocked. Nobody heard anything at all.

(40:08):
Nobody saw anything at all in this really super duper
high end department store where customer service is like the
number one thing they sell.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
That's why we go when we can to nice stores
like that.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Because the entire purpose is to get that customer service.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
You ain't gonna get it at at the very least.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
If I were the manager of what was it Burgdorfs.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Or wherever they're something like.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
If I were the manager and I heard this story,
I would be firing all of my employees for not
being present and aware. Literally fire every employee on that
entire floor. If something like this occurred on my watch,

(40:57):
and you're telling me a crazy high profile in the news.
Everyday guy walked in with this batshit crazy broad and
just waltzed their way into an open dressing room and
he assaulted her, and nobody on the floor was aware.

(41:23):
The person in charge of the dressing rooms left them
unlocked so that this could happen. And after it happened, well,
let's talk about a certain person that something very similar
like this happened to and she went directly to the
police and she had a rape kit done, and she

(41:47):
has been disgraced ever since, even though it was proven
beyond a shadow of a doubt that it happened. Did
this guwanto crazy broad go to the police? Know, did
she tell anybody?

Speaker 3 (42:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Decades later, when it was profitable to her, she fabricated
this story and all of a sudden, she's credible.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
You know, it's a great way to make money.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
But when Juanita Broadwick went to the police, when she
told her friends, when she had the kit done, when
all of the evidence was there, but it was against
you know, the god King Clinton, Juanita was the one
who was disgraced.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
And by the way, we're friends with her.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
We believe her story absolutely, and you can read her book.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Please do that's a good book. Put some ice on that.
Look at Bleanita Broadwick. You can check her out on
x She's on all day, every day.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah so, and yet when this absolutely deranged lunatic makes
up stuff, she's believed whole cloth, because oh she's on
the right side of the politics, right, so we can
look at somebody who actually, you know, reported it, did
the work, had the evidence, and she's dismissed, versus this

(43:08):
absolute lunatic who had nothing and just like what they
did to Kavanaugh, didn't know the date at the time
of the place, had it all wrong, was proven wrong.
And yet there are still people out there who think
Kavanaugh did these things that he did not do. And
now they're calling Trump a convicted rapist and YadA YadA.

(43:31):
He wasn't even there. You know, he met the broad
tangentially at parties. There's a billion people at these parties.
I'm sure I've been to multiple parties with crazy. I mean,
I lived in Auburn, where the Green River killer lived.
I lived literally blocks away from where he did his things.

(43:55):
I swam in the rivers on the banks where these
women were found. Does that make me related this guy
in anyway? I didn't know he even existed until after
the fact that you're.

Speaker 7 (44:12):
Like, oh, cud, Yeah, could HI have been in pictures,
you know, at a party in the background or whatever, Yeah,
I could have.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I didn't know who this guy was. Yeah, And even
Trump says, you know, I met her husband at the time,
it didn't really know her. So what I mean, same
thing with Epstein, I'm not even when you were a.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Public figure like Trump, you come across people a lot.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
The same people. They all move in the same you
see the same people over and over. I mean it's
that way. I can give an example, but I don't
want to do that because I don't want to take
I'll just say that you can be part of an
organization where you see the same people over and over again.
It doesn't mean you know them the to me, you've
even met him. And you know that's the other thing

(45:04):
with Epstein. Every time I see Epstein in a picture
with anybody, and I'm going to literally give everybody the
benefit of the doubt. People I don't like Clinton, people
that I know are guilty as sin Clinton, people that
have gleefully admitted that they're guilty as sin Clinton, People
that you know dang well have gotten away with it

(45:24):
because of their power Clinton. You know, even in those cases,
just because you're hanging out with the dude doesn't mean
that you're guilty as Clinton. I mean, guilty as he is.
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt
because they all move in these circles. So even though

(45:45):
Clinton is guilty as hell, and you know, damn will
and he was involved in the whole thing, you still
have to take a step back and say, Okay, just
because he's in the pictures in a minute and gleefully,
you know, and had paintings on the wall and all
the things, doesn't necessary really mean he was involved. Okay,
Now you look at this situation with Trump and this

(46:06):
broad who's just nuts, no pictures, no relationship. Oh actually no,
there is a picture of him with her in the
same room and didn't know her, didn't hang out with her,
can't give us the date or the time, and in

(46:26):
the place that she's saying what she's saying happened, and
how long it took and what they had to go
through for it to cur couldn't couldn't It just couldn't
occur anyway they found that didn't happen or there wasn't
enough credible evidence. But the corrupt source appointed judge, which

(46:48):
you can research, still awarded her eighty three point three
million wire and she is and they said that's defamation.
So now to call somebody a liar when they are
lying can be seen as defamation, which is kind of

(47:09):
what we're going through right now with YouTube on a
very very very very.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Much much smaller scale. Anyway, the hell with ABC News,
the hell with Egen Carrol, and the hell with whoever,
the hell with the wall?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Yeah, so this I hope that this is the start.
I really do. I hope that this is one.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I mean, he has gone after other Yeah, and a
lot of them are pending and you just don't know because.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
They're in the world.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
We filed a lawsuit against CBS, so yeah, where that
goes anyhow.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, Hey, you know, we've been talking for a really
long time, and something that I have not mentioned is
that you should absolutely drop everything.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
You didn't give me a chance to get my helmet
this time. Fortunately I was able to jump out of
the way this time. Ouch.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, drop everything and hitd on over to Counterculturalizing DGM
and that's where you can find all our links and everything,
as well as ways to support us. But if you're
listening on any of the I don't know, I hearts
or Pandora is Pandora still thing? Or we listen to

(48:22):
mostly Spotify.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Spotify is Spotify is my jam anything Spotify with anything
I want to subscribe because I don't want commercial subscribe.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Give us premium comes up, or you know, if you
can give us some stars, as many stars as there
are in the heavens, there are in the heavens, I
mean uncountable number of stars, give us all those stars.
If you're not enjoying yourself, well, first of all, stop listening,
because why do.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
That to yourself.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
But if you are not enjoying it, and you really
just want to make a statement, don't do like one star,
because that's so obvious to it. I don't know five
five stars, because that's a really insulting number. In fact,
five is a very unlucky number of many cultures. So
do five stars, and we will get the message, and
we promise we will do better.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Every time, every time, every day and every way.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
So five stars and all of those will know that
we need to do better, more stars than there are
in the heavens, and we'll know that you appreciate us.
Head on over to counter cultures. Why I just washed
my teeth and I can't do a thing with them.
Head on over to counter culture wise and day I can.
And there's all kinds of ways you can support us.
And we're going to be adding more as we go, coffee,

(49:39):
all kinds of fun things, and yeah, coffee and oh yeah,
if you have ideas for merch. I would like to
lean away from politics, although I think that the troll
and chief line needs to get a new vibe, a
little bit more of that, and you know, it's okay
to be orange all of those, but I would like

(50:01):
some non political stuff. So let us know, all right,
I think he's out of cough drops, so let's not.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Sorry, guys, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I'm just my concern is the kid who starts coughing
at the beginning of the movie is the one who
dies in the movie.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
I saw Love Story. I know how this goes.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
You can't start coughing word to hack up lungs in
the okay, So don't do the thing with the dying
and the hacking and the coffee, because I'm the one
who always dies. So stop stop coughing, all right? He
starts coffee because he's laughing. Now, drink a totti, drink
a totty. Okay, We're gonna head on into our favorite.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
Counterculture. Wise is proud to present news of the weird
and wonderful. Here are your hosts Melanie Hope and Jim
Monis Oogie Dogie.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
This next segment is where we kind of get our
title because we start talking about marine mammals. Yeah, marine
not mammals. This one's really interesting.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah. I didn't take this one. Yeah, I didn't know
they lived this long. That is one.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Well, I mean, they are basically dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
So well, this one looks like one looks like it
looks like a living fossil.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Let the headline fool you though, because as I mean,
you'll notice as you get into the article, they kind
of backtrack on that a bit. But it is fascinating still,
absolutely Okay, great, imagine discovery smiling.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Yeah, it does look like he's happy. He's a happy shark.
Imagine discovering a creature that could be as old as
five hundred years, as old as okay, swimming in the
depths of the ocean. This is exactly what you find
of the Greenland shark, a species now recognized that the
longest lived vertebrate in the world.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Julius, Look at that, he's so old he doesn't have
a teeth.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yep, makes it kind of hard to be a shark.
Julius Nilson, a marine Biologists at the University of Copenhagen
led a research team that made this groundbreaking discovery. They
found a greenland shark that was at least two hundred
and seventy two years old. That's pretty much an accomplishment,
still possibly even reaching five hundred years in age to
passing the previous record held by a two hundred and

(52:28):
eleven year old bowhead whale.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
But if they're not sure how old he is, how
did he pass the record? And how did they determine
how old the bowhead was?

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Gee, I don't know, Maybe we'll find out. Let's see.
Determining the age of many fishes done by counting the
growth layers and calcium carbonate stones found in their ears,
similar to counting tree rings. However, sharks don't have these earstones,
and the princess like that way ever after she's like

(52:59):
that over there. Additionally, the greenland shark lacks other calcium
rich tissues suitable for this method. Instead, scientists use a
different technique, examining the lenses in their eyes. The lens
of a shark's eye is made of proteins that accumulate
over time. The proteins at the center of the lens
are formed while the shark is still developing in its

(53:19):
mother's womb. By figuring out the age of these proteins,
scientists can estimate the shark's age. To do this, scientists
use what's called radiocarbon dating. This method measures the levels
of carbon fourteen, a type of carbon that decays over time.

Speaker 9 (53:36):
This is not.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
It's not very accurate.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
How is it not accurate?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Well, we're talking without reading the article, and I hope
they tell us. Usually they can't get within fifty, like
one hundred and something years. So this is good for
like dining, so you can place them in like a
thousand year periods. But it's not good and like you know, hey,

(54:06):
how old is my cat? Because it's just there's too volatile.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Let's see that. By applying this technique to the proteins
of the center of each lens, scientists were able to
estimate a broad age range for each sark. They weren't
able to really narrow it down. No one shark measuring
five meters was found to be at least two hundred
and seventy two years old, with an upper age estimate
of more than five hundred years.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
The margin of error plus or minus one hundred and
twenty years. That's significant. It is that that's like a
Democrat voting margin of error. Oh, eighty million votes, give
or take.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
I'm cutting off your supply. We definitely expect another specimen
was at least two hundred and sixty years old, potentially
exceeding four hundred years. We definitely expected the sharks to
be old, but we didn't I expect that it would
be the longest living vertebrate animal, Nielsen said. These sharks
inhabit the cold, stable environments of the North Atlantic and
Arctic surface waters, growing just a few centimeters each year.

(55:12):
Despite their slow growth rate, they can reach over five
meters in length and often service apex predators in their ecosystem. Foscubinating,
Why can't we look at their growth and determine it.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
That way? Um dah, that is not a happy shark anymore. Well, no,
that's just cruel.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Yeah, it looks like they fished this one for food.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Okay. Aging greenland sharks was once considered impossible. Other fish
species are aged by measuring house If they don't have these,
their skeletons are made of cartilage instead. They Why are
they repeating the.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Same thing you just read Yeah, that's why I stopped reading.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
That's annoying.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Yeah, that's annoying, but yeah, they green lines. Sharks have
unique eye lens tissue that remains unchanged throughout their lives,
preserving historic radiation. Huh. They eye lens is composed of
specialized material metabolically inert proteins, meaning once synthesized, they're not
renewed by isolating. This isssue formed on the shark was

(56:23):
a pup. The researchers performed radiocarbon dating to estimate ages.
So it's not a great it's not a perfect science,
but just the fact that these sharks live over over
two hundred years at all is pretty amazing. I mean,
now we.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Can't say he said a record, because you could be
anywhere from two seventy two to five to twelve. I mean,
that's a hell of an error margin, that's true. SAE interesting. Yeah,
but I'm not going to be impressed until they can
give me and the headlines is.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Really yeah, wow, five hundred year old shark. No, not
necessarily maybe possibly, not likely, but possible.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
So that was.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Misleading. Headline number four hundred and twelve thousand, give or
take one or.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Two and I like how they turn it around to say, oh,
the study not only reveals the incredible longevity, but also
how humans have cut their lives short. I'm like, wait,
what huh? So it's so important that we can serve
and do all these things. Okay, I get it, I

(57:38):
get it. So here's our billhead whale, a life stand
over two hundred years, slow metabolic metabolic rate, resilience to
cancer another age. I didn't know whales could get cancer.
That's fascinating.

Speaker 8 (57:55):
I know.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Shark cartilage is supposed to be yeah, has been purported
to help you fend off cancer. We're not doctors, koy.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
I did know could live to be hundreds of years old.
They're mostly doing marine animal. Oh well, they do a tortoise,
but they don't talk about parrots sea urchins. Yeah, because
parrots can live to be hundreds of years old as well.
So yeah, there are a lot of animals out there
that have it nailed and we don't.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
So it's a young science. It'll take a while before
they're able to really get it exactly right. So let's
continue along the ocean.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Now along the ocean, here we go, archaeologist, I've made
a sensational discovery beneath the Baltic Sea, a three thousand
foot long stone wall that could up end our understanding
of Europe's prehistoric past. Now what's really sad, though, is
every article I read, Okay, well, they kind of show it.

(59:03):
I can't really till it's a wall. It just looks
like random stones, but I guess some of them are
kind of squarish anyway. It's called the Blinker Wall and
the excusive structures submerged roughly seventy underwater in Germany's Bay
of Mecklenburg near Wheric As it reported. It's comprised of

(59:25):
one thousand, seven hundred stones. It spans over three thousand feet,
reaches wits of up to seven feet, and peaks just
under the feet high in many places. It's believed to
date back to more than ten thousand years to the
met Mesolithic. I want to put an extra syllable in
their messole Mesolithic AUGUSTMA call. Now, these ancient builders likely

(59:52):
never measured the creation of one day life beneath the sea.
Surrendered to the water is approximately eight thousand, five hundred
years ago due to rising sea levels. I wonder how
accurate that agent is as opposed to our.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Sharp probably much more so, you think so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Yeah, A dedicated research team from the Leibnitz Institute for
Baltic Sea Research. I'm not gonna read all that has
gone her close to one million euros to scrutinize the
enigmatic Blinker Wall. Okay, so they want to disprove it.
The ambitious project, set to run between seven will be

(01:00:26):
bolstered by a collaborative effort at the Libit's Center for
Archaeology and scholars from Erosick and Kill Universities. And this
is what our wall looks like. Is that a drone
in the back?

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
It looks like it. Yes, it's a drone in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Drone, Okay, don't tell Jersey. Their investigation will delve into
the wall's origins and its influence on prehistoric societal practices.
Some theorize the wall served as a rengeer hunting tula, notion,
which implies that the mesophilic hunter gatherers may have settled

(01:01:04):
more permanently than experts have traditionally believed reindeer. The team
emphasized the presence of such a large, deliberate structure, challenges
long held believes that early hundred gatherer societies were entirely nomadic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Now that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
That is interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
That part I find interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Yeah, they settled down and built walls. Build the wall,
build the walls. Researchers have crafted a three D model
of the enigmatic Blinker Wall, providing an intricate view of
part of the structure. So here's the thing. By the way,
all of these links are available archived of course, account

(01:01:48):
culture wise adak can. Environmental factors like ocean currents or
glacier movements have been discounted as the origins of the
Blinker wall. Yeah, because that's when I'm looking at the pigs.
I'm like, well, how do we know that's not just
random rocks? But they're saying they've discounted those. The prehistoric

(01:02:08):
construction only offers a window into agent life, but might
also prompt a re examination of early European civilization's complexities.
The discovery sheds light on a prehistoric lifestyle that was
more advanced than we previously understood. I think there's a
lot about previous societies that were was lost and we

(01:02:32):
assumed a lot and we just don't know. We're just
we're rediscovering things that we already knew. Basically, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Move, move, I like this. Bad boys, Bad boys.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
What you're gonna do? Bad boys?

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Ontario Provincial Police in Canada warned residents Friday morning to
be on the lookout for two cows and of sheep
seeing wandering loose in downtown Kempville. Be on the lookout
for two cows and of sheep. No, it's not a joke.
The police said on social media that were officers responded
to the area to try to guide the animals away

(01:03:11):
from roads, but drivers were urged to travel with caution
around the area till until they can be contained. A
Animal control officers were someone to help capture the trio
and their owner was located later in the morning. For
those wondering, owners can face a charge if their animals
escape on multiple occasions. The fine is over four hundred
dollars with fees. That was not the case today. But

(01:03:33):
it's such a cute photo. It's there's a Twitter. Well
sorry X have you heard hr D livestock and loosing
downtown Kemptville. Greenville opp are trying to keep this crew
away from the roads of police travel with costumes on
the area.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Proper use of my tax dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Good, keep my food safe.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Friend, nice nice, nice. So yeah, that's I don't know
why I fi those kinds of stories so amusing and adorable,
but they are.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
It's adorable. I love that one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
All right. This next story comes from Scotland.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
I think I might still cover that up. Let's see
what we got here. Okay, what does NHS stand for.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
National Health Service? I'm assuming Lothian. That's an area in sky.
I don't know. I've never even been.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
A midwife has created a game changing new product that
has potential to revolutionize neonatal care and improve outcomes for
tiny newborn babies. Stacy Boyle, a orning typical name a
midwife with NHS Lothian hasn't been Okay, I'm not gonna
be the whole thing, Okay. Special set of scrubs for

(01:04:54):
birth partners that have a kangaroo style pouch to allow
vital skin to skin contact takee place as soon as
the baby is worn. Are we going to show it?
We're not going to show it. Babies delivered by a
cesssarian section can be carefully placed into the sling like
pouch worn by the birth partner. Birth partner while the

(01:05:15):
surgical team focuses on the mum and the completion of
the procedure. It means that the baby can nestle inside
the scrubs and read all of the benefits of life
changing skin to skin contact, which has been proven to
regulate temperatures, stabilize heartbeat, support steady breathing, and even help
with early feeding as well as improve long term health

(01:05:36):
outcomes that one hundred percent behind this. Stacy came up
with the pioneering idea while working I don't care how
well she is, why do they say that? While working
in theater in Saint John's Hospital, Livingston and noticing how
challenging skin to skin contact was for a mom after childbirth,
she added, we know how good skinned to skin can be,

(01:05:59):
but it can also be challenging because of the size
of the theater table. So when they're talking theater, they're
not talking she's on the stage doing no you know plays,
They're talking surgical theater.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Most women were uncomfortable trying to do it, and it
can be unsafe for babies when moms are lying flat.
So picture yourself splayed out on a table after you know,
basically pushing a watermelon through the size of the grape,
and god knows what fluids are lying around you. You're

(01:06:33):
in a tremendous amount of pain. You're still flailed out,
and you know, here's this wiggly, wobbly gooey thing that
needs mostly you to hold them close, and you might
even not be able to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
And this is done by seas they're talking about mostly
babies are done by sea sections.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Yeah, so you went through all of that and it
didn't actually work. So then they all so had to
slice you open on top of that, So you were
like double trauma now, because I think people forget that.
You don't just walk in like a barbie and they
unlatch a hook and open up your tummy and pull
the baby out. You have to go through all that

(01:07:16):
labor dilation and all that stuff, the pain, everything, and
then they also slice you open. Yeah, my mom went
through that twice. It was okay. So Stacy approached her

(01:07:39):
line manager Mary and Hay charged midwife, and together they
turned her idea into reality by helping to design and
trial different types of material that would keep babies at
the right temperature. Wow, this amazing, Marian said. We made
three different prototypes and we found the most effective. I

(01:08:00):
had to be the one where we use it or
recycled n HS fleece jacket as the covering material with
a secure velcrow opening, which was altered onto newly purchased scrubs.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
That's really cool, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
Really innovative. Our amazing sewing room staff Ward Clerkuss, I
love the names they give people and laundry staff have
been truly amazing and helping us to create these this
wonderful garment. I'm so very proud of Stacy for all
the work she has done. I really wish they'd show
a picture of the dang thing, and most importantly for
believing in herself to create something that positively helps babies

(01:08:34):
and their families. There's no okay, goes on and on
and on, folks. If you want to read it, you
can hit on account of culturebiz dot com. If we
find a picture of it, we'll put it up there.
Because they're just showing a picture of the happy family
that I think that is wonderful.

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
I'm sure. Oh what was this is? Oh? Fit? Okay,
because they got an award for it too.

Speaker 5 (01:08:58):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
That is marvelous, very cool. Okay, Now this is a
candidate for Wonderfuller, but we got another one later for that.
This amazing, This is truly amazing. A former paratrooper who
cheated death after plummeting one thousand feet to the ground

(01:09:21):
has overcome injuries to make amazing strides and become a
record breaking ultra runner. The forty one year old superman
is the first person ever to win all four of
the world's toughest races in extreme climates since healing from injuries.
John Shield is Battled. That sounds like the name of
a alias for a superhero, doesn't It does. John Shield.

(01:09:42):
Shield has battled through jungles, deserts, frigid cold, and mountainous
terrain to become a champion of the Beyond the Ultimate
Global Race series. During the grueling races, competitors attempt to
run a total of five hundred and sixty five miles
in four marathons that are set among the world's toughest environments.
Last month, Shield won the Desert Ultra Marathon and Nambibia, Namibia,

(01:10:06):
And then maybe they had that one. After completing the
one hundred and fifty five mile course in twenty seven
hours and thirty nine minutes, He's also won the Ice
Ultra Marathon in the Arctic you know, whatever you need
to do, and just months later he was victorious in
the Yeah you said Ice, I'm done, Yeah Jungle apparently

(01:10:29):
Yeah Jungle Ultra Marathon in Africa. Last year in the
Mountain Ultra Marathon across the tian Shan Mountains in Asia.
Whoa boy with a near record time of twenty nine
minute hours and thirty two minutes. British Man's incredible feats
of endurance came after the horrible accident in twenty thirteen
that left him unable to run for seven years.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Seven years.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
He was in the Parachute Regiment when under took a
one thousand foot parachute jump at night.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Wait now they say Paris regiment. Does that mean military? Yes,
so this happened when he was serving his country. Wow,
this takes it up a notch.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
So he was in the parachute regiment when he undertook
one thousand foot parachute jump at night. Complications led to
John plummeting to the ground at high speed, smashing his ankle, knee,
and hip. He underwent several surgeries, but the injuries were
so severe he was medically discharged from military service months later. Eventually,
Shield decided to retrain as a paramedic so he could

(01:11:27):
continue to serve his community of Shropshire, England, home with
the Shropshire Slasher if you remember the Daffy Duck cartoon,
and it was while he started running to work that
he became obsessed with Ultra Marathon. It's a funny cartoon. Though.
Reflecting on his remarkable achievements following his para shooting accident,
John said, it's amazing how far I've come. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah,

(01:11:49):
that you know, oftentimes that sounds self congratulatory.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Yeah, do it, babe, dude, I'm lucky if I can
get out of bed in the morning. This guy's overcoming
broken bones and.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Yeah, when he suffered the injuries, it was a nighttime
training jump with a static line that deploys the parachute
for you, as the height they were jumping from was
very low. It's pitch black and you can't see anything
and you drop ridiculously fast. You're trying to listen for
a split second, listening to the equipment hitting the ground
before you can break your fall. The Liberal terran his
hip was the worst I wasn't able to go cycling, running,

(01:12:19):
or doing any cardio because of the pain in my
groin area. I was determined to keep fit and push
myself to the extremes. I had to overcome my injuries.
But it's always the case of what's next.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
Yeah, he didn't went and shoot any CEO of an
insurance company because that was his excuses. He had back pain. Yeah,
multip pajillionaire who could get it fixed anytime he wanted
to had back pain, so he murdered somebody in cold blood.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
That's a story we're supposed to believe.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Yeah, it's nice to have the acknowledgement they've achieved something,
But I never want to rest on my laurels. He
doesn't sound like the kind of guy who does that. Yeah,
I'm always looking up ahead of the next challenge. You
can look do the most hideous of race and thing
never again, but then two days later you think you
would do it again. A lot of people say the
desert is the hardest, but I had no problems at all.
I'd done heat training before, so when I got out there,

(01:13:08):
I raced hard on day one. After that, I just cruised.
I didn't take any chance, risks or chances. The Jungle
was my most difficult race. It was oppressively hot, around
ninety seven degrees and I'm using the American stuff here.
You were exposed to direct sunlight with the humidity, I
looked and felt absolutely dead.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
It is the humidity that gets you. After living in
the desert and then living here in central Texas, it
is the humidity that gets you. I always thought that
was a joke.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
No it's not. You can cut the air here sometimes
cut with a knife and fork.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Ry heat. Oh no, there is a difference.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
No Las Vegas dry heat. Texas, No, not so much. Antson.
We're running a racing place where people have never run before.
One point, you're in the river for nine miles. Ants
and wasps were the main thing, and getting thorns in
your hands. You're told not to touch the trees or branches,
some of the massive spikes or ants on them. It's
five days in all five stages are self sufficient. You

(01:14:05):
carry all your own food, your sleeping bag, and clothes.
The only thing they give you is water. I'm very
proud of winning the races. It wasn't about the times.
It was about making sure I was the first person
to win the overall series.

Speaker 8 (01:14:16):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
You put yourself through everything, the insects and wildlife and temperatures.
You need to be very adaptable. I'm the first one
to win the overall race series and it feels great.
Ever since I became interested in the races, has been
a goal to go out and win them. He won,
He's he's a winner. He's a winner in my book.
I can tell you, great guy. Wow, that's quite an accomplishment.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Breaks records, is the ultimate runner. Wow, no interest, No.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
I mean I admire people who can do that. I
admire people who can do that. And he's gonna outlive
me by a country mile.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
But well, you never know. I mean you look at
people that you think have it all together, like I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
The first the guy who wrote the book Gun Running,
James Fax, he dropped out of a heart attack and
he was relatively young when happened.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
And dot on it that the diet that everybody goes
on then all protein diet.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
What's his name are you talking about? Doctor Atkins?

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Yeah? Dtr Atkins like falls on the ice and cracks
his skull open. Well, I mean, you just you never
I know, That's what I'm saying. Has nothing to do
with their act. People think he died of the know.
He didn't know, wlipped on the ice.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
He had an accident, he heard himself.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
What about the guy who invented the segue? He drives
the thing off a cliff. I mean, now that's ironic.
Black flying your shot is not ironic, but driving your
seg off a cliff when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Really have a horror.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
It's a good song, but I hate that that nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
It's not my favorite song. Head or Feet is my favorite,
which is that you already won me.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Okay, now we're gonna no you DMC eight again.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Yeah, there we go. Every time I'm telling you, I'm
telling you you already all right? Oh oh. I love
it when kids do something cool. Twelve year old discovers
ancient Egyptian ammulet scorpions Scorpions. For those of you who

(01:16:25):
are fans ofchanic culture wise, do tune in for our
interview in which I actually add a scorpion climb up
my leg in the middle of it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Yeah, the one, the one with Michelle Slater.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Michelle Slater, Yeah, yeah, yep, right in the middle of
the and Jim and Michelle are just like blah blah blah,
and this isn't that and let's talk dogs and you
already yarady, and I'm like, excuse me, you're smacking and screaming.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
And general carnage and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
All right on or routine. Near the Nahalkana Antiquities site
in had HaSharon, Why are there so many hard words
In one sentence, twelve year old Daphna phil Steiner, Oh,
my goodness, stumbled upon an extraordinary piece of history, a
three thousand, five hundred year old Egyptian scareb amulet. So

(01:17:21):
this kid was just like drpteater and boom turned over it.
What began is a casual search for porcupine spines and
interesting stones turned into a discovery that has captivated historians
and archaeologists alike. I hope this fur there's like a career,
does something for this kid. I was looking at the
ground for porcupine spines and pebbles, and Daphna share I

(01:17:43):
picked up an interesting stone and showed it to my mom.
At first, she thought it was just a bead. That
I saw something special and insisted we look it up
online after I dident it, a good kid. After identifying
similar artifacts on the Internet, Dafna and her family contacted
Israel'siquities Authority. Their efforts were met with enthusiasm. Morrizel and

(01:18:05):
archaeologists with the Antiquities Authority praised Daphna's initiative and presented
her with a certificate of excellence for good citizenship, while
he took the thing with his other hand. Transferred to the.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
J and Genie Shottenstein, Schuttenstein.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
How did they go from Israel to Schottenstein where it
was studied by experts. Doctor Yitshak Paz, an expert in
the Bronze Age, confirmed that the ambulant dates back to
the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. The script is
adorned with intricate symbols, including scorpions, Hello representing the goddess, circuit,

(01:18:45):
a protector of maternity, and the neffer symbol meaning good
or chosen. These symbols, along with a motif resembling a
ruler's staff, hint at its significance in Egyptian culture. And
I read a lot into that the scarab shape, like
a dung beetle, the jokes right themselves, holds deep symbolic

(01:19:10):
meaning in ancient Egyptian tradition. Embodying themes of creation and renewal.
Its discovery in Israel highlights Egypt's influence in the region
during the Bronze Age. Blah blah blah, precise origins, yarnity,
commend the kid. Here's the kid. Oh it's tiny city,
bitty Okay, anyways, Jewish kid finds something cool. Germans take

(01:19:33):
it away from our end of story. Did I read
too much into that?

Speaker 1 (01:19:38):
Yeah, way too much. It's going to be on public
display for everybody to see. I think that's beautiful. Look
at that. Amazing. It may have belonged to a high
ranking figure passing through the area or been purposefully buried. Interesting,
all right, this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Next toy is kind of heartwarmy night. I you know,
I'm going to do this. I think we called it.
I think we deserve this. And now counter culture wises crowd.
We had to change the pictures on this. Actually, no,

(01:20:21):
I think I'm going to leave them because I'm going
to leave the pictures on this. Because I called that
Kamala was going to be called vice and then they
were going to try to make her be president. I
called the kosher pork. I called the you know, men
getting women, and I called the COVID night and we

(01:20:43):
did a whole thing on mats with the COVID nineteen things.
I called it, and I sorry, I just I'm gonna
take a little bit of a victory lap here. What
are president, our president has done is just he's I'm sorry.

(01:21:08):
He is the ultimate troll. I don't care what you say.
There's nothing you can tell me that it's gonna convince
me that he's not trolling. And it started with these
these NFT things. So here's his take on it, and
it's just you just gotta let him. You gotta let

(01:21:29):
Trump Trump.

Speaker 9 (01:21:32):
Hello everyone, this is Donald Trump, hopefully your favorite president
of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington.

Speaker 6 (01:21:40):
With an important.

Speaker 9 (01:21:40):
Announcement to make. I'm doing my first official Donald J.
Trump NFT collection right here and right now.

Speaker 6 (01:21:47):
They're called Trump Digital Trading Cards.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
There must have been a time in his life where
like a toastmaster or somebody said, oh, you gesticulate too much.
You need to keep it within this box. I swear
somebody's so where it gave him that information or and
and he just like that's it, you know, because I
know that I've been told as a toastmaster, as an

(01:22:12):
award winning toast Master. Oh, you gesticulate too much. You're
too out of the you know, keep it in the squares.
It's like, no, that's not natural, that's not who I am.
Somebody somewhere told him, and you know, if anything, that
just proves that he can take suggestions. It's just sometimes
he doesn't take the right suggestions.

Speaker 9 (01:22:31):
Guards feature some of the really incredible artwork pertaining to
my life and my coura.

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):

We're doing a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:23:16):
My official Trump digital trading cards are ninety nine dollars,
which doesn't sound like very much.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
For what you're getting.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
It doesn't sound like very much for you what you're getting,
which is literally absolutely nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
It's a blip, it's a digital blip.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Yeah, it's literally nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
He is basically a ninety nine dollars lottery ticket. Yeah
when Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
And the sad thing is these things were sold out immediately.
They made fun of him, they mocked him, but they
were literally sold out immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
I just went to the website to find out if
they're still available.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
No, oh no, no, no no, they sold out right away,
just like the sneakers.

Speaker 9 (01:23:53):
Just like the sneaker I want and you will join
a very exclusive community.

Speaker 6 (01:23:57):
It's my community.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
Do you think he actually has a hell copter with Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
No, it's real. I'm sure it's real.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Huh.

Speaker 6 (01:24:05):

You're gonna like it a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:24:08):
They also make perfect gifts, so you can buy them
with your credit card or crypto.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Or somebody were to give me an NFT as a gift,
I'd be like, really seriously, for real? I mean that
that's a tier even lower than the Oh I bought
a highway marker in your name. Oh I named this
star after you. It was like, unless I can visit

(01:24:35):
the star.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):

a contrary.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
It's a gym to forget the word.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
It's a redundancy. That's what I'm trying to say. Dang,
fetch it. I'm not going to say anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
He would fancy things like, you know, power windows and
a horn. He thinks he doesn't have no.

Speaker 1 (01:27:44):
Four tires you know, just well, no, you have four tires.

You mean a stereo with with one speaker on each
side of the car.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Well, now let's not go crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Will this be an eight track tape or cassette?

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Okay, now you're just really getting advanced.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
Okay, we're offering push button AM radio at least.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, because right now, folks, he
doesn't even have that so counterculturewise dot com. There are
so many ways that you can support us. Just pick
ten of them or one, yeah, if you're an agency.
But anyways, back to Trump. Oh, that was the end

(01:28:52):
of it. Okay, so we called this, we so called this,
and we decided to create our well, the next step.
I mean, let's face it, if Trump's gonna do it,
he's gonna do it. And yeah, this is what we
came up with.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
My fellow Americans. This is Donald Trump, the best president ever,
better than Washington, Lincoln, Coolidge, Hoover, or Harding. That's a
funny one. Harding got that scared of smack of the knees.

(01:29:31):
I will be making a big, big announcement soon about
a dirty joke using the name Harding. But I'm even
better than Garfield, although he's the most like me. He's fat, orange,
and he likes junk food. I love jump food.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
He does too.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Great Cat, Great Cat. Today's announcement is my biggest announcement.
I have put my name on hotel resorts and golf
courses all over the world in the Earth Grade tells.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
Anywhere they're virtually identically.

Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
They've been a huge success, a taller or so, but none.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
Compared to the success pretty of my NFT cards.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
Due to their success, I am now offering for the
first time a genuine original replica of a deck of
cars from my old Osma Hall casino, which should still
be under my name.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
But what can you do?

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
I only have three decks in stock due to the
printing press of the basement breaking down. So you want
to jump on the chance to own this rare piece
of casino history. This unique deck can be yours for
only four ninety ninety five now. With the purchase of
one deck, the best deck in America. Believe me, you

(01:31:05):
will be entered into a drawing to win dinner and
a round of golf with me at my International Golf
Links in Scotland. If you buy two, I'll spring for dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
Why not.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
If you buy all three, I'll even pay your airfare.

Speaker 6 (01:31:28):
Where can you find.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
Another deal like that?

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Nowhere?

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
Nowhere.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
You can't. For my working class fans, I'm also offering
for the first time my own line of lightbulbs, the
brightest ones ever, certainly brighter than that dim bull drove
Iiden' right, remember it, DJG is better than GE. Yes,

(01:31:59):
let's face it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
General Electric wasn't even a real General. It was fake news.

Speaker 6 (01:32:06):
It's sad.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
Now an announcement even bigger than my biggest announcement. In
the spring, I'll be introducing my own line of breakfast cereals.
Trump Cereals are going to be the most delicious and
healthiest breakfast cereals ever. He lives will no longer be great.

(01:32:34):
Posts will be in the past, and the big G
is going to stand for gone. You'll be able to
start your best day ever with a nice crunchy bowl
of the greatest Crinola special d and my personal favorite

(01:32:57):
honey sweetened Millennialsfy, those that's gonna be great. Oh like
they need to be sweet. You won't want to eat
anything else at all. Ever, these purchases welp me continue
to fly the dead horse of the twenty twenty election,
which we all know was stolen. It was so do

(01:33:20):
your part and buy these great products and at least
keep me relevant. Go to imasucker dot com slash Trump today.
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
So we mean that. Then he took it up a notch,
so we had to take it up a notch.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Naturally, my fellow Americans, sills of honey sweetened banannios is
off the charts.

Speaker 6 (01:34:10):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
And now it's time to address Biden's endorsement of my
Maga line. Now people tell me, they tell me all
the time. Hell, Sleepy Joe is going on and on
about Ultramaga, and he was, I mean, if.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
Trump were to introduce the Ultra Maga line, Biden literally
was advertising for him because the more he said, oh,
the Ultra Maga this and that were like, uh huh,
ultra Republicans huh yeah, uh huh. And he thought it
was making us sound awful. But everything he said that

(01:34:51):
we stood for was like young, strengthened borders, good economy,
lower taxes. Yeah. Ewel, oh my god, we're ewel. Let's
be evil together.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
As if it's a bad thing a bad thing. Isn't
that just silly? What old Joe doesn't know is that
he's actually endorsing my latest line of Ultra Maga products. Now,
if you brought my steaks, you know they go great
with Ketchup. But if you want to take them up

(01:35:24):
a notch, try my Hilary's Hot sauce. It comes in
small bottles so you can carry it in your purser pocket.
And just like Hillary, it's extra salty, so good, so good,
and fresh. Squeezed from beautiful Marlago oranges. Trump brand orange

(01:35:47):
juice is as rich and as orange and sweet as
I am. You can get it pulp free or grown
with extra pulp maults made from composted declassified papers from
our fabulous Florida orchards to your breakfast table. People are saying,

(01:36:09):
and I believe them. People are saying that this delicious
juice goes great with Trunk brand cereals. Let's face it,
no one juices like Trump. Now, since Sleepya's son has
gotten into painting, it only makes sense that I help
the old crook out with the best art supplies money

(01:36:33):
can buy. Trump Brand fingerpaints are the perfect thing for
your deadbeat Druggy's son to get started in the art world.
They're non toxics, so they do not include the color
red because the Bidens have done enough with the reds.
The Ultra super Mega palette includes such fabulous colors as

(01:36:54):
Laptop lavender, Powdery Substance, white, navy, joan blue, and of
course my favorite son kissed orange. Don't take my word
for it, these things are the best, everyone says. So
they tell me, President Trump, when are you going to

(01:37:15):
come out with new things? They like every product in
the Ultra Magaline and it sounds like old sleepy creepy
Joe does too, So what's not to like? God bless you,
God bless the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
So well so after sneakers and guitar sneakers and guitars
and all of the other things. Like I said, I
feel like we have earned ourselves called it, well, we
we called it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
It is Trump's cologne, Fight Fight Fight, and a women's perfume.
And no, he took it up a notch.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
Definitely, he took it up a notch.

Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
Not only did he introduce his cologne, which is frankly,
I kind of want to buy because that's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:38:17):
I'd wear it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
I want to smell it first. Obviously, I wonder if
he does samples. Are there samples this victory for tune?
Oh wait, Oh my gosh, they're all sold out, all
sold out. Oh my gosh, how do you.

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
Most of the guitars they're also sold out, but how
they're two thousand dollars apiece and they sold Seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Though, why would I buy perfume if I have no
idea what it smells like? Well, I guess it doesn't
really matter, not much because and oh my god, because
there are whereas it. I no, I have it here somewhere,
And sorry, folks, he actually used this is.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Level.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
There's forty chests, and then there's like, this is a
completely different game. So he actually used the look that
Jill Biden was giving him. Keep in mind, Joe is
nowhere to be found.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Trump is already acting as president. He has the first
lady who's way way hotter than Jill.

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
Is and has.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
No Jill I would never say she's ugly, but the
woman has no fashion sense at all. She has great
legs though, that broad has fantastic legs, but no fashion
sense at all. But the fact that Trump is there
and that look, and then I just thought it was hilarious.

(01:39:59):
On a completely unrelated note. There's this old study that
I thought it was interesting. You want to tell us
about this study, Jim, Oh, well, let's see.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
This is a study that was done by I don't know,
let's find out together. As far as your nose is concerned,
the old adage opposites attract couldn't be further from the truth.
A new study suggests their research published today today was
a while ago. It was a few years ago, suggests

(01:40:34):
that people whose natural body orders are chemically similar are
more likely to click and form fast friendships.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
So those who stink together clink together, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
Through a series of experiments designed to uncover the effects
of body order on social dynamics, researchers from the Weisman
Institute of Sensinnation back to colleges in Israel. Again, family,
they're actually a lot of ways advanced beyond the US.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Easily, which is what pisses off the rest of the universe.

Speaker 1 (01:41:07):
So yeah, found that existing pairs of same sex, non
romantic friends who reported having clicked when they first met
emitted similar odors. Additionally, a sensor that the study describes
as an electronic nose was able to predict above chance
levels whether strangers would feel click upon meeting based on
the chemical signature of their natural body orders. You know

(01:41:27):
this makes sense. I feel comfortable to conclude now that
there is.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
We have an electronic nose that can sense our body odor,
but we still don't have smellovisions, so we can smell
each other's candles over zoom.

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
Sorry, kids, I mean what if you accidentally let it,
let one rip, and then you know they smell that
part of the.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Human experience, it would be welcome. Okay, you don't count
Sadie because that dog.

Speaker 1 (01:41:58):
I feel comfortable conclude now that there is chemistry and
social chemistry. Study co authorne Wiseman, neurobiologists in Ball. Reverbi
tells the scientists me too. In the study, the researchers
first pulled people online for how they would describe the
initial spark preceding a fast friendship, which, according to Reverbe

(01:42:18):
is often intuited but doesn't exist in the scientific literature.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
Every fast friendship I've had us because we had something
in common and it wasn't our steak.

Speaker 1 (01:42:30):
Maybe maybe the stench helps, maybe it just kind of
enhances it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
Well, if stench were important to relationships, then you should
be the most popular guy ever.

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
I love you, I love you right back? Heard dumb, dumb, dumb?

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Where was I?

Speaker 1 (01:42:48):
As she describes it, common themes kept emerging, such as
being on the same wavelength to someone, feeling as though
there is some chemistry between them, and experiencing a sense
of immediate bonding and understanding. That was Melanie and me.
Using those definitions, the team recruited twenties.

Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
When you first met me, I'd been in a hospital
with no shower for like three days.

Speaker 1 (01:43:09):
I saw your face and didn't care.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Okay, so that's nothing to do with my stench. Well,
then again, maybe my stench matched your normal stenche, because
what's going on here?

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
Oh lord? Using those definitions, the team recruited twenty existing
pairs of same sex friends between the ages of twenty
two and thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
So we're talking friendships, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Just buddies pals, half of whom are men and half women,
in which both members reported having clicked upon meeting. In
order to harvest participants body order, each was provided with
unscented soap and a cotton T shirt, along with instructions
to avoid all scented products such as other soaps. Perfumes
and lotions before wearing the shirt for at least six

(01:44:00):
hours overnight for two nights. Participants were also asked to
keep pets and other people out of their bed for
those nights work and to avoid Yeah, I know, Melanie
insists on having our our pets on the bed.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
Don't insist dutly squad in bed, and I insist on
having my pillows on the bed, and the pets insist
on being on me.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
I was just setting up for a joke. O, hey,
what's the joke. After about ten minutes, the goldfish calmed down.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
I don't get it. It's okay, No, it's not okay.
The goldfish that we don't even have a goldfish. I
know what happened to the joke.

Speaker 1 (01:44:46):
A fish out of water for ten minutes is going
to drop dead. That was the joke. It calmed down
and stopped flopping around.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
And oh, oh okay, So what you're saying is I
insist on having pets in the bed. One of the
pets is a gold fish, which we don't actually have.
So that's why I didn't understand the joke. And when
I insisted that the goldfish was in bed with us,
I killed it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:09):
Yes, can we go, let's just get on.

Speaker 2 (01:45:11):
No, that's actually a really good joke, and just we
just needed to just structure it in such a point
that it made sense.

Speaker 1 (01:45:19):
Well, I was trying to and then you negated the
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
Oh, we don't have a goldfish.

Speaker 1 (01:45:23):
I know it was a joke.

Speaker 2 (01:45:25):
We have three cats.

Speaker 1 (01:45:27):
We have three beautiful cats.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
So a goldfish would not last very long. No, especially
Christmas tree is lucky to be standing. We still haven't
put ornaments on the darn thing because we can't get Franky.

Speaker 1 (01:45:39):
Out of it. Yeah, I'm surprised he's not in it
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:45:43):
Anyway, Well, he's technically in a tree.

Speaker 1 (01:45:45):
Participants were also aske to keep pets and other people
out of the bed for those nights, and to avoid
eating body over.

Speaker 2 (01:45:50):
And no goldfish in the bed.

Speaker 1 (01:45:53):
No goldfish, no curry, no asparagus, and no garlic.

Speaker 2 (01:45:56):
I just don't know how it would exist without garlic.

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
It's just for a couple of nights, honey, any for
eternity two.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
Two nights in a row. I know.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
The odors trapped in the shirts were then evaluated by
commercially available electronic nose, which uses an array of chemical
sensors to determine the components of a gas in order
to compare the device's performance to that of a human nose,
which experts note is far more sensitive. Other participants were
presented with the odors of each person from either a
click pair or a random pair, as well as a

(01:46:27):
third distractor odor. According to the paper, or asked to
guess which two, if any, were from those who had clicked.
While there were differences between human and electronic perception, the
test ultimately helped validate the device's predictions. Oh wow, that's
a long article. Anyway, Let's see what they found out.

Speaker 2 (01:46:48):
What was the margin of error? That's my question, because
it was anything like the dating of the arts.

Speaker 1 (01:46:53):
No, I don't think there's anything like the dating of
the shot. That's that's barely science at that point, you know.
I mean sorry, I'm I'm agreeing with you more and
the more I think about it, it's kind of ridiculous. Oh,
let's see. Okay. Finally, the authors wanted to test whether

(01:47:17):
odor similarity predicted clicking among strangers meeting for the first time.
For this experiment, the team assigned pairs and strangers, but
followed the same tea shirt protocol to stand facing each
other more a short distance and mirror each other's movements
without speaking for two minutes. All the participants then repeated
the process with all the participants of the same gender,
resulting in twenty two pairings among whom men and forty

(01:47:37):
five among women, and rated how well they messed with
each other With each partner. Answering questions included whether they
felt connected to the partner, whether they wanted to meet
them again, whether they felt comfortable with them on a
scale of one and two one hundred. Across all tested cases,
there was a subtle correlation between body omer similar I'm
really triographic, between body odors similarity in clicking that exceeded

(01:48:01):
that would be what would be expected by chance, and
the difference in body owners between click friends was smaller.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
Exceeding what would be expected by chance would be one percent. Hmm,
I mean that's really.

Speaker 1 (01:48:15):
Man still experts caution. The effects were weak and there
was considerable overlap in the data. Leslie Kaya, neurodynamics researcher
who studies all faction smell fancy wordal faction at the
University of Chicago and didn't work on the study, notes
the data from both clicking and non clicking pairs often
appeared similar that the correlations only emerged when calculated the

(01:48:37):
data of each group as a whole.

Speaker 2 (01:48:39):
Why is there a neurodynamics researcher who studies old faction.

Speaker 1 (01:48:48):
Why because the class in basket weaving was already filled up.

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
The thing is, with basket you actually serve a purpose,
You actually make something.

Speaker 1 (01:49:06):
Worthwhile, especially around Christmas and Easter.

Speaker 2 (01:49:08):
It's well anytime. What's the name of that company, Burgermeister.
They actually had a building shape like their basket. What
was the name of that thing?

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
I just want to start with the b I can't remember.
But I mean people were paying hundreds, if not thousands
of dollars for a freaking basket. And this person is
contributing less to society than somebody who weaves baskets.

Speaker 1 (01:49:42):
It was the name of it longer Burger Longer.

Speaker 2 (01:49:45):
It's not. There were burgers in there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:49:47):
There's a burger in there somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Now he wants a burger, So friends, head on nowhere
to counterculture wise dot com and contribute to the Jimmy
needs a Burger fund.

Speaker 1 (01:49:58):
Well, I was getting at our company Christmas get together.
I was gifted with what a Burger gift card and
also a Dutch Brother's card, which I gave to a
coworker who adores Dutch Brothers.

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
I don't like them, so it wasn't a big Dutch
Brothers is to sugar what Sonic is too salt?

Speaker 1 (01:50:18):
Yeah, pretty much. They're oversweeten everything.

Speaker 2 (01:50:21):
Yeah, okay, well that's interesting. There's an old factory whatever. So,
like I said, completely unrelated that, you know, smelling good
and smelling like someone. I guess the elite would somehow
affect whether you click or not. All I'm saying is

(01:50:48):
that is not how someone looks at literally Hitler. I'm
just putting that out there.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
The guys got charisma. Let's just leave it at that.
He's charismatic.

Speaker 2 (01:51:04):
All right, folks. Well, we've had a lot of fun today,
but we always like to leave on a high note.
So we always leave on a story. Jim tries to
make me cry.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
Not this time.

Speaker 2 (01:51:20):
Let's see. Let's see if Jim manages to make me cry.
Here on counterculture wise, we may rant, we may rave,
but most of all, we go against the current culture
because we believe to the core of our beings, that
humans are good and the world is an amazing and

(01:51:42):
beautiful place. At the beginning of our show, we give
you news of the weird and wonderful, but that is
just the tip of the magnificent iceberg that is our world.
We now present news of the wonderfuller.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
Let's see if Jim makes me cry. We should get
another sting of this will make Melodie cry blink, but
I guess it would take away from the hole. Yeah,
he's just looking at me, blink, blink.

Speaker 8 (01:52:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:52:25):
I don't want to be on camera because God knows
nobody wants to see this, but I think we should
set up a camera just for Jim's reactions like that one.
All right, let's read this story. Cute little guy, Cute
little guy.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
A four.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
He's only four, Okay, haven't even started the story yet.
He's four. A four year old boy with leukemia has
dropped off more than four hundred bags of Christmas presents
at the children's hospital where he received care. Four years old.

Speaker 8 (01:53:03):
He is just.

Speaker 2 (01:53:04):
A baby. Elliott's whole and his mother Harley Harley hole
ow no, honey, sweetie, Harlely hole no that's hot. Please
tell me she kept her maiden name. Elliott and his mother, Harley,

(01:53:30):
decided to give back by distributing Advent calendars and other
fun items to keep sick kids entertained through the entertained,
entertained through the holidays. Oh my gosh, when I was
a lot kid and I was sick, my mom got
me one of those stupid, like cheap ass, like five
dollars Advent calendars. We get like a stupid piece of chocolate, right.
I love that thing, like you would not believe. It

(01:53:52):
gave you something to look forward to every day. It
had a little Bible verse behind it. But that was it.
It was like a stupid piece of chocolate a Bible,
and it's like we were so excited to open it
every day. Each chocolate piece. It was exactly the same size,
but it was a different stamp on it, so like
Santa Snowman whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
But that was it.

Speaker 2 (01:54:12):
I mean, that was it. There was nothing. I mean,
I look at these people who buy these like five
thousand dollars wore off Skis ones where they get the
little Dodalls or whatever, and there's some that are like
twenty five birds. I mean, there's insane ones out there
and this stupid little probably less than five dollars chocolate
bar one was made my day, so okay sorry side note.

(01:54:38):
The mom and Kent England set up an Amazon wishless
so that members of her community could purchase gifts, and
they ended up with three hundred and forty six items
for tucking into party bags, including chocolate, games, bubbles, sacred
stationary and more. And never never underestimate how much fun
kids can have with these things. The family then dropped
them off in kids to three local hospitals, the Royal

(01:55:00):
Martinson and the King's College in London and Princess Royal
University Hospital in Farnborough, all of which sound like cruise
ships from what I've experienced. You are stuck in a
room and unable to leave because of viruses, and it
gets very boring. Harley, who is a hairdresser by trade,

(01:55:21):
told the News the reception from the patients was brilliant.
The nurses were all amazed how much there was. We
wheeled in this huge crate of presence. Why are there cabbages?

Speaker 1 (01:55:35):
It's just a design on the bag, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:55:39):
Like, why are there cabbages? I stopped counting when we
got to four hundred, but I was say in total
we did about four forty as well as over one
hundred calendars. Harley first noted something was wrong with Elliott
in January twenty twenty two, when he had started limping.
They took him to the hospital or some blood tests.
Now keep in mind this little guy is only three.
Where some blood tests were done and three days later

(01:56:01):
they were told that he had acute lymphosphatic leukemia. Elliott
then started a three year treatment plan that entails daily chemo,
which will end in March. So it was three years
he was Wait, how old did they say he is? Now?

Speaker 1 (01:56:20):
He's four?

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
He's four, so he was one when all us went down.

Speaker 1 (01:56:24):
It would appear so yes, wow.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
I sometimes forget what we've been through when I hear
other family stories. I think, wow, that's awful. Then I
remember that we are that family too. When he was
first diagnosed, we basically lived between Kinsmarston and Darrett Valley
Hospital for the first four months. Now I need to
be on hold for Elliott at all times because if
his temperature spice, we need to get him to Kings
within the hour. He is a very kind little boy.

(01:56:52):
He's quite outgoing. Considering everything that he has been through,
you would never think that anything was ever up. He
is quite strong willed and just powers through. He's a
determined little guy. Look at him. I mean he's still
he's literally a toddler and he's got the face of
a thirty year old. Wow. Holly says that receiving a

(01:57:18):
gift bag like this would have meant a lot to
Elliott and herself at the peak of his treatment. The
kids love it, and it's nice to know that people
are with you, standing alongside you. That makes such a
huge difference. Does the community has been amazing. It was
heart warming to see how many people got involved. In fact,
this kind of dovetails onto our interview. Yeah, yeah, please,

(01:57:41):
you're gonna love it. As Elliot approaches the end of
his treatment, he's beginning to take part in more hobbies
and has just started playing soccer. Go Elliott. Howie says
she's thrilled better since finishing treatment. It's a milestone that
obviously not all children get to reach. I have a friend,
a very dear, close friend, who had childhood. He's a

(01:58:01):
little bit older than this guy, but he's older than
me now, so and do I know him. Well, yeah, yeah,
you do. And so I'm just putting that out there.
If there's a parent who's listening to this and your
little guy or gal is diagnosed with this, it's not

(01:58:25):
a death sentence. I know a lot of people think this,
but childhood leukemia can be overcome and they can live long,
healthy lives. I have personal proof of that, and I
wish nothing but the best for this little guy. He's precious. Okay,

(01:58:45):
I didn't cry. I'm not crying. You're crying. It's a
spicy chicken wings. I don't care what you're saying. I'm
not crying. You're crying. Okay, Okay, folks, it's been wonderful.
I hope you have an amazing weekend. We will see
you next week, when we absolutely positively will have full
and total control of our broadcast because we have taken

(01:59:07):
every precaution to make sure that the studio is safe
