Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:21):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener
discretion is advice and Welcome to another episode of The

(00:58):
Cocktail Lounge. I am your hostess with the Mostess Aggie,
and with me tonight is a very special guest host
our very own producer, Jeff. How are you doing tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
My correct title is not brad.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I am not going to refer to as not brading.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh I'm I'm okay. There's no snow in the ground.
It's currently raining, it's degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm not brad there, but.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
We are supposed to get some snow on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh man, Well, like you have to go out to work, so.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's I'm hoping Tomorrow is a half day and I
don't work again until Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
That would be nice. I'm not sure how this started
where schools have complete week off. I'm like, no, when
I was growing up and through college, I had two
days off Thursday and Friday. Yeah, maybe go back to that.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Maybe half a day Wednesday in college.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I think the last two years they give us half
a day on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Just in case, what we would do is our Wednesday classes. Yeah,
I would have I would have all my classes done
by note anyway, so no big deal.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, EPs, last day was today, so he did the
two day but he's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's weird to me. I don't understand why you need
the whole week. And then I have friends who actually
teach in college that were asked by students, hey, can
I have Friday off before, you know, before break, because
you know travel is going to be like really bad
and all that stuff. And I'm like, you, you have

(03:06):
five days before fual Turkey Day. I'm sure that you
can manage to travel, right. Oh yeah, It's just it's
super ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
But you know, I agree.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's I got to try to find things to do,
make sure the kid is not sitting on his butt
all day Friday. He's allowed to because apparently in his
group of friends on his online friends of about eight
I think three of them, including himself, don't really do

(03:48):
anything for Thanksgiving. So they were thinking, hey, you know,
we're not going anywhere, we're not having family come over
or whatnot. How about we wake up Friday morning and
play video games? And I'm like, you know what, that's
actually I'm okay, with that.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Why not. I mean it's you know, your so it's
pretty harmless anyway. So yeah, this is and he knows
it's just entertainment. Why not, it's not. It's not like he's,
you know, an aggie syndrome.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
So yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that had to be rough
for you this weekend. I back back when my basketball
college team was good, I used to hate when we
go to a tournament and play a no name, nobody
because that would be the game I knew we were

(04:45):
going to get our butt kicked.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It was always something like that. I'm just glad that,
you know, we played Stamford Bulldogs and basically it's just
a chance for their school too, to get money and
for them to actually play a big you know, a
really solid team whatever. And we beat them forty eight

(05:08):
to zero. But from all accounts my friends that attended
the game, they said afterwards, the people that were there
from Stanford and everything had a really good time at
the Chicken, They had a good time at doncating. They
had for them. It was like, yeah, Okay, we know
we're gonna lose, but we're gonna party party while we're losing.
So they had a really good attitude, and that was

(05:29):
kind of nice. It was neat, you know, I didn't
because I was my parents, I couldn't watch the game,
so I don't know how they did have, you know,
play wise, but from all accounts, they had a good time.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I used to love playing either against better competition or
be the better competition. When I was in high school,
our girls volleyball team was state champion all four years
and they would purposely seek me and this other guy

(06:02):
out during gym class because really funny how during volleyball
season their gym class every other their starting lineup was
in gym class, so they would practice against me and
one of my other friends because we were tall and
could jump, and they wanted, you know, to try to

(06:22):
make sure that we, you know, we could block their
shots real easily and in case they came across the team.
So we put them to a challenge and they absolutely
loved it. And my senior year, one of the girls
joke that they I should have been up on the
podium with them getting the championship because of all the
times they practice against me, and I was like, now

(06:44):
I don't have to, but thank you for thinking that.
But yeah, that that playing against better competition. Like you said,
it's kind of like a vacation, but it's also like, Okay,
we know where our shortcomings Army. We may not be
coached as well or past as athletic, but we can learn,
and so I do love when they do that.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It should be Funk said right now, I'm like, I'm
a little anxious, I'm a lot anxious. I'm very anxious.
I'm so anxious, I'm overridden with anxiety.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, it's not like it's a oh, I don't know,
holiday week where you have to cook duck and have
family and then and then then like Saturday or something,
you have this kind of little gamer or something that
you have to.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Actually, I wish it were Friday, but it's on Friday
on Friday. It used to be when we were in
the SLUC and we were still in the Big Twelve,
we had the rivalry game on Thursday. It was always
on Thanksgiving. Depending it was on Thanksgiving, I know during

(07:58):
the Southwest Conference in early Big twelve. And then it
got moved to Friday because apparently it was competing with
NFL because NFL decided to have more than one game.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, so it.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Got moved to Friday. And we always had Bonfire Night
was on Wednesday. That's when we burned bonfire, and you know,
it was a big tradition. It was really awesome. I
believe bonfire is still burned on the Wednesday, but we

(08:36):
are playing on Friday from now when I think. But
at least the you know, the a lot of people
are like, Yay, the rivalry is back, and I'm like, yeah,
I know, yeah, but you know, like I said, it's
battered Aggie syndrome. It's actually a recognized thing. We're like,

(08:58):
we're just waiting for the other shoot to drop. God,
I can't believe. You know, we did not expect to
have an eleven M season at this point. We did
not expect two actually achieve what we have. But the
thing is that all of the building blocks were there
last year. They just weren't as cohesive as they are

(09:18):
this year. And I honestly thought we were going to
lose the game Cock game.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, probably should and yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And I honestly, I honestly thought that we should have.
But what happened to us, and this is something that
a lot of you know that we talked about last week,
was that coach Elco went in there and said, look,
it's a whole new game first of all, but you
need to play to your identity. You cannot be playing

(09:49):
to what they expect you to do. You cannot be
watching them. You need to watch each other. You guys
have a cohesive element and you're missing out on it.
And so when it went back out there, they started
clicking again the way, you know, they started paying attention
to each other instead of paying attention to what they
thought the game Cocks were going to think they were

(10:11):
going to do. You know, they were trying to think
ahead of what the Gang Cocks thought that the team
was going to do. So they were falling apart. Yeah,
the game Cocks, in contrast, completely file apart during the
third period. I mean there were absolutely no answered points
at that, you know, because we went in thirty to

(10:33):
three at the half and we came back to win
thirty one to thirty. It was a great comeback and
it was weird to watch the Dallas Cowboys do the
same damn thing with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh okay, I got to go on the record, I
am not a Cowboys fan neither am I I am
a huge, huge, huge fan of yesteryear Cowboys when the
Man and Cat coached when they you know, but Tom
I and also I grew up in Maryland, so I

(11:09):
hated the Redskins, so of course that I did follow
the Cowboys when I was younger because of the hatred
of the Redskins. But I was watching that game and
being on Twitter X seeing all the god off of
Philadelphia Eagles fans at twenty one in the and then
just crickets like you idiots.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
It was. It was really nice to see, especially since
they were playing home field. But yeah, I'm like, I'm
not a fan.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I will go I will go on record if I
will be a Cowboys fan for the rest of the
season if in a span of four days they beat
the Eagles and then the Chiefs, Because I don't know
of two worst fan bases right now.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
The Eagles have always been the worst fan base that
I've ever dealt with. I mean, I don't I don't
remember any such high degree of hostility from any other
fan base, and I'm sure there are. It's just that
that one stuck out to me because I had a

(12:27):
friend who was seriously injured by something that was thrown
at a Philadelphia game, and he was one of he
was home field. I mean he was. He's a he's
an Eggles fan. You know, it's not Eagles, it's Eggles.
You don't get it either, but whatever. I don't live there.
Their exit is kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh god, yeah, oh god.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, but yeah, I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that thoroughly
because I know I'm going to go on a little
TANGI here, so forgive me. I hate when leagues decide games.
And don't get me wrong, they do because like the NFL,

(13:12):
it's not a sports league. It's an entertainment league. They're
not bound to certain rules. But you cannot tell me
weeks upon weeks of watching the Eagles be all starts,
all sides, when that stupid push push and everyone knowing it,
the league putting out a quote unquote memo on it,
and it still gets never called on them. You know,

(13:36):
the league wants that team to win. It's little subtle
things like that that you know. Oh okay, I hate it.
I hate the repping. I hate the freaking leagues anymore
they are trying to push. We had this conversation off
air that I think you should bring up as well
about Texas and the the SEC and how that may

(14:01):
not be a good thing. I see the same thing
in football and in hockey, and especially in baseball lately.
It just pisses me off.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, I can understand that, I really can.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, I think too, and I know we do a
lot of politics on this network, and I'm going to
translate politics and sports to the same things. I think
people have. The fans have become too stupid, that they've
become too tribal, that they don't understand the sport they

(14:39):
allegedly are watching anymore, and it just frustrates me. Like,
I'm not a Dallas Stars fan. I am an La
Kings fan, but I am. I watched the Dallas Stars
because well, their starting line is real ordy. It's made
up of five finish players, so of course I like

(15:02):
their first line. Well, they have an individual who in
the last four games is racked up fifty eight penalty
minutes because on the twentieth he decided to board someone
really nastily behind the net. That one was a legit
boarding call. Then he got in the fight the next game,
and he got like two other little miners in the
third game, and then two days ago he got another

(15:27):
boarding call, and it pisses me off because you're watching
people who you know or you thought knew the game
of hockey. Oh, he should be suspended for a week.
And I'm sitting here, I'm watching the replay. I'm watching
the replay. I'm trying to look for the boarding. I'm
not seeing it. But because he was called for it

(15:50):
it was the second of the season, he gets an
automatic win game suspension. I'm like, okay, that's the rules.
What was handed out today that he's not going to
get any further suspension And people are up in arms
at it, and I'm like, if you know hockey, you
know it wasn't boarding. He was following the dude, he

(16:10):
was getting ready to check him into the glass and
the dumb ass Boston player I think it was maybe Caligrapher.
I might get the two games mixed up. Turned his
face to the board, so when the Dallas star Miko
Rattinan hit him, it was boarding. If the young point, yeah,
if the player wouldn't have turned into the board, it

(16:32):
would not have been a boarding penalty. Now it's a
brilliant play on that guy for putting himself in that situation.
But you can't get all up at he and say, oh,
that was a nasty hit. No, he was setting himself
up for a beautiful, perfect hit. The other player changed course,
And I'm sorry. You cannot stop on a dime on ice,

(16:52):
especially NHL quality.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
You can't do it.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
So uh, it's just fans have been pissing me off
so much, like they don't see the pitcher. Like right
now we're in and we're in baseball free agency, the
beautiful time of year, the hot stove is all you know,
how is my team going to get better? Of course not,
I'm an Angels fan. They're going to suck for eternity.

(17:19):
But the Angels and the Orioles traded to players. The
Angels traded a player they had one year left on
his contract, paying them thirteen million, traded them to the
Orioles for a pitcher who hasn't pitched in fifteen months
because of an elbow in that issue. But when he pitches,
he's a top tier pitcher and he has four years

(17:41):
left of his rookie contract, and everyone's like, why are
you trading for a pitcher that may or may not
pitch again? And you know, why did you not get
a physical why are you not demanding a physical? And
I'm like, okay, first off, the Angels are freeing up
thirteen million dollars on their payroll that they can use
to go get someone else. If this picture on a

(18:05):
rookie contract sucks for four years.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh well too bad, so sad.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, if he hits, they want. If he pitches two
seasons of top tier pitching, they won the freaking lottery.
I'm sorry, I'm playing that scratch off every day of
the week.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh well, you know, and what was amazing You had
MLB insiders going on podcast. Oh I don't know why
the Angels didn't require a physical because it's not required
in a trade. You don't have to. The Euros can
go No, you can't demand a physical like Jim Bowden.

(18:50):
You've been a GM for twenty years in Major League
Baseball and you're too fucking stupid, sorry to know this.
No wonder you're not a GM anymore. I don't know
what happened in the air, but I swear the planet's
gotten dumber at times.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, yeah, I've seen plenty of evidence that things have
gotten dumber. Yeah, I mean, we just all we just
look at social media that's right there. Yes, although you

(19:30):
know I have I've done my share of dumb things.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Not our chat. Our chat on social media is awesome.
This is true, except that one guy he knows who
he is.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh my god. But you know, I mean it's sometimes
I cannot throw stones being an aggie. We hold the
record for the stupidest sports thing ever done, and that
was basically sign Jimbo to another you know, huge contract

(20:08):
and then buy him out the year. The following year,
when everybody from the lowliest student body member as a
freshman was screaming, don't do it, and the border regions
did it, and we were like, shit, we're stuck with
this guy for another five years and or was it

(20:30):
six I think, And then the following year he's just
not performing, so we have to buy out the contract.
And I'm like, you guys didn't put in a class
saying he has to actually, I don't know, produce something
like a winning season, but no. Yeah, so we're gonna

(20:52):
hold that record forever.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I don't know. The Raiders are challenging that. They they
they signed was an offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly for six
years or six million a year, and fired him after
eleven games.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Oh my god, really, yes, okay, well, yeah, I think
what Chip Kelly was at Ohio State or I'm sorry,
the Ohio State And okay, I can't ever call them that.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
I know I do.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
It is actually part of their name and it is,
you know, copyrighted trademark. Whatever the hell do you want
to call it. It's not happening. No, they're trying to
make fetch happen and it's not. It's not going to happen.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I say it with so much dripping sarcasm and ventoments. Yeah,
it's but yeah, they just fired him after eleven games
and paying six million to get him away from Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
And it's like, okay, okay, that six million dropping a bucket, but.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Only not a head coach an offensive coordinator.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Okay, that's actually a pretty good chunk of change for
an offensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yes, yes, so they're not at that level that you
guys hit, but they were buying for a challenge to
the to the throne. I'd have to I'd have to
see if if it was a one year contract or
if they just how long his contract was. But I
know he was in the first year in eleven games,

(22:28):
and I'm like, Wow, wait to do your research, guys.
That's like Saints fans. I'm I'm a I'm a New
Orleans Saints fan for football, and everyone on Twitter is like,
oh my god, Saints, why are you not running the
ball on second down and one to go? Guys? Your
head coach is Kellen Moore. He was the offensive coordinator

(22:51):
for the Cowboys. Cowboys for years when they had Kellen
Moore running the game, complain for years, why are you
running it on second down and from the one? And
this is nothing new? Get out of your get your
blinders off, and do your research. You're going to understand
that having Kellen Moore call your plays as the head

(23:12):
coach for the Saints, you're going to suck and make
stupid decisions all the time. It's his m oh.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well, it's I'm glad to say that. It's not the
only bad shit thing going on.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
No, no, God, there's a bunch of it this week,
isn't there.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Look, I'm seriously trying to deal with my battered Aggie
syndrome here, So if there is more that can make
me feel better, I'm all for it. Everybody times, seriously,
I get people telling me, oh, Aggie, why are you
so upset? You guys are eleven and oh because it's Texas.
Oh but Texas is you know, has had two losses

(24:00):
two or three yeah, three three classes And I'm like, yeah,
that means jack or no nor shit neither. It doesn't
matter if they've had We literally we had a winning
season in the Big twelve that I can recall. I
think we were we were like, this is back in

(24:21):
ninety two. We were nine and oh or something or whatever,
and we're going up against Texas Tech and they're not ranked.
I guess what happened. Yeah, they had our number and
they fed it to us. Okay, so well.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
To for people that don't know football and don't know
Aggie's football, let me translate it to March madness syndrome.
Imagine you're going into March madness as the four seed,
you have to face the thirteen seed. Now, usually typically
in the thirteenth seed in March Madness is the team

(25:03):
that won their conference that is a no name conference,
which means their fourth seed technically is playing a champion
of a league. It's not necessarily an easy opponent. And
everyone who gets seated as number four understands this.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
That all great.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Same with the seventh seed. You're playing a ten seed,
which means you're playing a mid major probably finished second
in their league. You know, as a seventh seed, that
ten seed, at least two of them every year is
going to come in and win. Now imagine that every
week as an aggie. That's how I can explain it.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Well, I'm sure that I don't think we're gonna have
a he said. She said this coming Friday, seeing it's
right after the holidays, and like I said, I'm gonna
be like trying to like keep my anxiety down. I'll
probably be high on value or something. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Oh crap, you mean I got to deal with you
on the first.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yes you do? Yes?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Oh god, Okay, No, I mean it was the game's over.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
The game's over. But I have done. I have told
myself after what happened last year where we lost to Texas,
it was our return to the rivalry. Last year was
the first time that we had played the game in
I don't know, most decade and a half or something.
But I noticed that the friends that I have that

(26:48):
attended Texas were not very nice on social media. Now,
they were not rude to me directly, but the things
that were said both about the Texas A and M
team and the school and the people that attended the school,

(27:09):
and some went so far as to say I may
have aggie friends, but not today, you know, that kind
of thing. And I was like, wow, I had really forgotten,
you know, the whole distance, the absence making the heart
grow fonder. No, that's not true, but it does make
you forget. It does make you forget and the memories

(27:31):
soften and you only remember the good stuff. And that
brought back all the bad stuff. So that's another reason
for my anxiety. I'm like, I don't want to see
my friends saying those things. I really don't. I try,
you know. And this is something that I was talking
to another a friend of mine who happens to me
the mayor now of my hometown. Yeah, imagine my surprise.

(27:56):
This is the kid I used to baby said, yes,
I felt that old. Okay, I'm like, shit, you're mayor.
I babysat you. I literally changed your diverse. And he
was like, yeah, let's not talk about that right now.
My wife is right here. WHOA hold up? You were
his babysitter. And I was like, yeah, I got stories,

(28:18):
but you know, and he went to ut and everything,
and so we were talking about the upcoming rivalry and everything,
and he said something that really struck me, because now
that he's mayor, he has to be very diplomatic and politic.
So he did say he said, I am not taking

(28:43):
to social media after the game, regardless of win or loose.
And I asked him why. I said, because Aggie's voted
for me too. And I was like, and I looked
at h I was like, that's a good attitude, and
he's like, yeah, it is. And this is something that
a lot of people forget is that I do have
friends that are from ut Hell. Our beloved gen is it.

(29:06):
She bleeds orange, I swear to god, you know, and
she has never ever been rude about Agnie's. She's never
been rude about anybody. But I did find it kind
of surprising to find a lot of people that I
consider friends to be so outwardly rude and and just

(29:27):
outright mean. So I'm kind of like, yeah, I'm not
going to go to social media at all Friday unless
we went, then I'm going. But you know, I've never
I've never said anything on social media about about any
of the teams that we play, because when it comes

(29:48):
out to it, it's just a game, and everybody forgets
that part. And one of the one of the funniest
things that I saw I saw a video on Facebook
and I follow several Catholic accounts, and one of them
actually posted this, and it was I want to say
it was Ascension Press or a big Catholic account, and

(30:10):
it showed, you know, weird. You know, the Texas and
Texas A and M game is coming up, and we're
going to pray, and the the Catholic priests for the
Catholics yout Catholics was saying was saying his little prayer
and it kept slipping like let us win, you know,

(30:30):
that kind of thing. And then and he's wearing he's
in his vestments, but his vestments are not his vestments,
his shirt and his clerical collar but it's orange. It's
not black, okay, And then just switched over to the
aggie Catholics priest and he's wearing overalls that say how

(30:52):
do I'm just like screaming. It was so funny. And
of course they're all like trying to say a nice
prayer and they keep slipping up and say we want
our team to win type of thing, and everything and
the and the other the presets overseeing both of Them's like,

(31:13):
we're supposed to pray for the health and well being
of the players and for good sportsmanship, which is literally
what I do at every day I do. I don't
want anybody hurt. I don't want anybody to be so
seriously hurt that they end up in the hospital or
they break the phone or anything about. It's just for me,
it's a nightmare. I still remember when Kevin Murray broke

(31:37):
his ankle that was captured on film and it was
the centerfold for the yearbook that year. I'm not even
joking you. As soon as you open it, that's what
it fell to and you see that broken ankle, right,
you know, and it's just, oh, I can't, I can't.

(31:58):
I just thinking about it. I mean, the whole Joe thing,
you know, just oh yeah, it's just.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well, speaking from the hockey mindset, when I played, I
wanted to beat the ever living crap out of my opponent.
But the moment, you know, in my god, my almost
twenty years of playing, I've seen more injuries than I
cared to admit, and some of them were down right nasty.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
You know.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Thankfully I never saw escape blade to the neck, but
I've you know, I've seen cuts and gashes and hawks
hitting sides of faces that literally broke the jaw, jaw
of the dude and you could see how much it
was shattered from the outside. And even when they're the
opposing team, you sit there and go, oh God, no,

(32:43):
not this. I want to you know, I want to
pound the ever living crap out of them the right
way and not have something like this happen. So I'm
with you. I tend to take that approach to when
it comes to the games. I may, you know, I
may joke and go, you know, back from the ac
C days when the Turps would get into the ACC
Championship and have to play Duke or North Carolina, and

(33:04):
I'd be like, oh, great, Maryland has to play two
teams a night, Duke and the Reps. Yay, come on, Maryland.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
You can do this, you know.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
But yeah, you know, it's you do you, And as
a player, you want to win with everyone on the
other side giving it their best, because then there is
no doubt you are better than them.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
No, no, I try not to anymore. It's way more comfortable.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, it's true. Oh goodness, So I think I'm I'm
just gonna stop talking about the coming game. And yeah,
let's do that.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, get some good let's get some good vibes going.
Shall we talk about the number one country song?

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Nice segue? Yeah about that. It's not Luke Comb's is it. No?

Speaker 2 (34:17):
No, it's something rust or rust something I don't know,
but apparently it's an AI artist.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Now my question is is is the artist itself the
AI or is it somebody that is using AI to
create this artist?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
There is, there are people behind it, but everything is
made with AI.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I you know, you know how I feel about AI.
I'm not a fan of AI, and I know you
have a really good argument coming for that that I
can't wait to hear. But as somebody who pushes herself
to be creative with her hands in several mediums painting, crocheting,

(35:16):
hand nitting, cross stitching, embroidery, cruel work, needle point, furniture restoration,
I mean or agami. Yes I do are a gomi too,
because my hands idle hands. If anybody ever remembers that movie,

(35:38):
that kind of scared me, and I like to keep
my hands occupied. Yeah, and no, I'm not gonna kill anybody.
But for me, the I understand how people can use
AI to be creative. But one of the things that
really bothered me. I was watching commercial and I want

(35:59):
to say it was for Google Assistant or something, I
don't I think it was Google. And the girl is
sitting there at the laptop saying, I don't like talking
in front of people. Can you write something so that
you know blah blah blah, and so AI says yes,
and so she begins to write her introduction, how to

(36:22):
introduce herself and everything. So she is basically giving a
task that would force her to confront her discomfort and
task her brain to actually put things together in an
orderly way so that she can overcome this discomfort. And

(36:46):
she's just seeding that to a machine. And for me,
You're like, okay, So basically you're atrophying yourself. You're starting
to let that part of you, the part that is create, creative,
the part that incentivizes you to overcome certain things. You're
letting a machine do that for you because you a

(37:09):
don't want to deal with the work that is required
or be you you you just don't.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Do too lazy and that to me, that's the key word.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yes, And laziness does does enter a lot into it.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I know that.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Like I said, one of our mutual's, Oscar is you know,
he is the professor and he has had a hell
of a time trying to get his students not to
use AI and his and he tells them straight off,
I use several, you know, different programs to detect AI.

(37:52):
You know, it's not just one. I use several, So
you're gonna get caught, so don't use it. And he says,
you know, amazing, Over eighty percent of my students don't
use it, So which is you know, they figured, well, yeah,
I guess I better not use it, so they actually
put in. But there's that twenty percent that still do.
And some of those twenty percent actually do all AI.

(38:15):
It's not just one of two things. It's the whole thing,
you know, the whole paper or all of the questions
or whatever. And so yeah, for me, it has it
has actually brought forth that whole the lazy gene into
the four And it's kind of scary in a way

(38:35):
because we are in a generation where instant gratification drives
almost everybody. Yeah, it used to be that when we
had dial up. I was so grateful with dial up.
I was happy. I was happy to hear the little
moden thing going, it's great. I would wait the five
minutes to connect. It'd be fine. I've had no problem.

(38:56):
But then I'm a very patient person. But nowadays, oh
my gosh, if I can't connect the Internet, that's not
me talking, that is a lot of other people.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yes, you know, and what's the saying. It's better to
keep your mouth shut and thought an idiot than to
open it and have it proven. Yes, AI has enabled
that to an ns degree. And I say that as
someone who is a proponent of AI. It's it has

(39:34):
some real life benefits that I cannot overlook. It's kinda
kind of crazy, uh, not not to disprove what you said,
but when I did my episode of i TC on neuralink,
some of the things I said that will be a
benefit of what neuralink is doing, or some of the

(39:57):
things that you brought up that you do as a hobby,
you know, say, needle point losing brain function and ability
to communicate with your hands, to not be able to
control your hands and all of a sudden being able
to do that, or to hear, or to do other things.
So there are some absolute advantages of AI, but too
often unskilled, lazy, stupid people are utilizing it to try

(40:23):
to make themselves appear more important and more intelligent than
they are, and all they're doing is is proving to everyone, Oh,
oh okay, yeah, let's just push you aside. Now I
listened to this AI song. I one hundred percent knew

(40:43):
it was AI. Now, I guess I should go on
the record, not as a brag, but just to unders
let people who may not know some of my background.
I was recruited out of high school for scholarships and music.
I have been in numerous bands, including big band, jazz,

(41:05):
rock and roll, hair metal. I know how to play
almost every instrument other than the really odd ones, and
for some reason, I never learned how to play piano,
which I'm trying to fix. And currently I have an
album out with over almost two hundred thousand listens on
that is AI generated. So I don't want to say

(41:29):
I'm an expert in the field, but I think I'm
qualified enough to speak on Yes, yes you are.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I would say, so.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
There when it comes to this music. Okay, I'm going
to offend anyone who is a fan of country. I'm sorry,
it's the truth. Country music is the easiest to write
outside a rap where you just steal everything. But I'll
touch on that later. Country is mostly four to four
Country really focuses on five to six chords. Now, I

(42:03):
know what everyone's gonna say, All you're painting a broad
budch brush. Yes, I am. But when you get down
to it, most rock and roll is only five or
six chords. The time, time signatures and chord changes are
what makes rock a lot more different than country. You're
not getting complicated seven eight lyric rhythms in country as often.
So AI is going to excel at creating a country

(42:25):
song far better on this kind of a playing field
than anything else. That said, you, you really have to
be comfortable in AI when it comes to music with
where you're comfortable at. You and I are both of

(42:46):
a certain age, We grew up in a certain area
era where we love live music. We love we love
hearing the wrong notes, not fifth or sixth grade, you know,
Christmas band wrong notes. But you know, occasionally an artist
will maybe a little flat here, a little sharp here,
and maybe miss a couple of notes because the guitar
string broke. That's fine, that's yeah, we we understand that. That.

(43:11):
The The question with AI and regarding music that you
have to understand is music is math. So AI is
really doing math to create music. The question that you
you have to ask yourself is how much of borrowed
music that the AI takes and and uh and involves

(43:33):
itself with for your song that you're asking it for
is too much? And I don't think the court systems
are ready for it. But we've been dealing with this
issue musically for forever. The Beatles lifted music from Chuck
berrys I'm talking about you.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
They also lifted from Bobby Parker metallicas lifted from David
Bowie for Master Puppets, one of the Metallica's best known songs.
They lifted bits of it Smashing Pumpkins. For some reason,
decided to take something from Rush. I'll never understand that.
Dave Grohl from Nirvana has legitimately said most of his

(44:17):
drum rhythms from that were borrowed quote unquote from the
Gap Band. So if every Nirvana song is playing gap
band drums. Is that where you know, people have to
ask themselves, what is there a level of comfortability to
knowing that the gap drums are making Nirvana song? Okay,

(44:42):
if you're comfortable with that, then you have to think
AI is two steps above that. Next up is direct sampling,
which is in rap, which is in rap in some rock.
So okay, if you're okay with rap doing all the
sampling it does, then you're just one step away from
understan What AI doesn't musically, it's taking all the influences

(45:03):
and picking it. But you have to go back to
that fifth grade first time learning and instrument attitude. When
you hear twenty two fifth graders try to play you know,
let it snow. It sounds like absolute horrible crap. I'm
sorry it does, especially to a trained ear. Yes, so

(45:26):
the only way, yeah, I mean if the only way
you get better is to understand music. And I don't
mean to throw people under the bus, but you can
hear some of the songs that other people own this
network and other networks use that are AI that have
no detailed level of understanding music other than what they like,

(45:50):
which is nice, and you can create some okay, songs
with that. If you look at AI as an instrument
when it comes to the music, and you're you're you're
training how to use that instrument better and better and better,
you can get it to sound really, really amazing. And

(46:12):
I know you're a fan of and if de Lady
was here, I know his his wonderful, amazing really sing
her assof daughter, like the little snippet song I created
at the end of the radio play to promote the
upcoming Wizard of Oz radio play. I wrote all the lyrics.
I wrote the time signature, I wrote the chord structure.

(46:34):
I I wrote the time changes and everything and had
AI put it together. But because of a level of
detail I gave it, I'm not sitting there going, oh, hey,
you know I need the gap band drums. No, I
need this drum set, I need this instrument, I need.
I need Marshall amps with a washburn In four guitar.

(46:56):
You know, I need a Rickenbacker base on this fretless
and you know, hand played. So I'm basically producing a
band that is imaginary. So with AI music, the question
really comes in is what comfortable level are you with

(47:17):
borrowed music? I mean, if you know the band Guerrillas
in their song Clint Eastwood, that whole rhythm is from
a cassio rock one preset that was slowed down.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Oh okay, well, I mean, I'm sure you recall the
Ford chord song. Yes, remember, yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:42):
That opened eyes to a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Ed Sharon if if you ever followed when he was
sued for plagiarizing music, what he presented in court was
an absolute masterclass of why it's an interesting legal battle.
I don't know legalese to really go too far into it,
but there there has to be some bounds of what

(48:08):
is the expectation and what isn't. Like you cannot copyright dances.
It's how Fortnite has made all of its money m
because they can put their dance moves in their game,
charge people four or five bucks for it, and and
no one can sue them because dances are not copyrighted.
There has to be a level in music to go,

(48:30):
oh okay, well, this song uses a D, C, A
and G chord and it's done in the four to
four time, you know, in a G seven major chord rhythm.
That's eight percent of songs. So can those eight percent
of songs sue each other. So there there there's a
lot of ambiguity in music that unfortunately sucks, and when

(48:53):
it comes to AI, the biggest problem I have with
it is unskilled people doing it, because I can instantly
tell when summer, you know, not even it's like hey,
hey chat GPT or GROC. I need I need lyrics
about this material. Well, if you're not telling it, like

(49:13):
if I just wrote and wrote a song in fifteen
sixteen time, which if you know anything about music, is
an absolute pain in the ass. But you have to
write the lyrics for AI to be fifteen sixteen. You
have to do the one two three one two three
one two three one two three one two three beats
on quarter notes, so in eighth notes. But you know,

(49:35):
you have to set your lyrics for that, and if
you want to extend it, you have to write the
lyrics a very specific way for the AI to get it.
And even then, AI still unfortunately is only on four
to four time based engine, so you have to trick
it with lyrics to get it to get a little
bit more of that, and then use some polyrhythmic drums
to emphasize the offbeats and syncopation that will start to

(49:59):
portray a a different time signature than what it usually produces.
So most people that are using AI music for their
own or like give me GPD, give me lyrics, this
is what I want the song to be about. They'll
take the first one, copy paste it in the sooner,
and then go, okay, I want it to sound like
the Beatles boom, and that's what they'll get. That to me,

(50:22):
is not making music. No, I do not think that
that's what that is either, So I understand people's reluctance
to I'm really, to me, hearing bad AI music is
like listening to an elementary school band. It's that god
awful to me. And I don't mean that as a

(50:42):
bragging because, like I said, it's there are many times
where the stuff I make I absolutely hate and I'm like,
oh God, but I'll crap the shows in an hour.
I gotta play it anyway, you know. So I get it.
But my odds of produce seeing a really, really great
song are increased because I've spent years learning how to

(51:07):
play that violence. And when I pick up strata viras,
it sounds amazing.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
That shows a level of creativity that you applied to
AI and I don't dispute that you can do that,
and it's handy for that. I yes, you can be
creative using AI. That much is obvious. And I've heard
your songs and they're awesome, so I can I can

(51:36):
see the value. But again, the people that are using
AI creative in a creative manner also use their own
creative forte outside of AI. So yes, that to me
is a good use of AI. I understand. If you

(51:59):
create and you apply your creativity to AI, I get it. Yeah,
But the majority of people don't do that.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
No, And that's that's where And you see it for
on social media all the horrible memes, you know, all
all the six fingered people, you know.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
You see that. And you see the cocoa videos now, yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Coca Cola commercial where the truck changes shape every six
seconds because they can only do six seconds of video. Yeah,
you know, you see a lot of laziness. And that's
where it irritates irritates me and where I don't want
to say I disagree with you, but that's just where
I really do agree with you. It just makes the
lazier even lazier. It makes the stupider pretend they know something,

(52:45):
and that.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
To me, that's where the danger of AI comes in. Yes,
you have a tool, and now people think, well, I
don't need to think. It will do the thinking for me.
It will set it all up for me. I don't
have to overcome my anxiety for speaking in front of people,
or I don't have to actually do a lot of

(53:06):
research because chat to BT will do it for me.
I don't have to do this, I don't have to
do that. I can understand using chat to BT open AI,
grock whatever for your resume. I totally get that.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
That is especially since AI is checking it anyway. It's
not a human looking at it anymore.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Exactly, so I can understand the use for AI for
certain things like like I told you, my issue comes
in my age range. I am the older Gen X
person and I'm done learning all this shit. I'm like,
I don't need to learn all this stuff. You know what?

(53:45):
You know what I did today? I made better? You
know how I did? I churned it? Okay, and I
hand cranked that sucker. I wasn't using an electric mixer.
I literally got a hand cranked turner. Why because I
lose power periodically here and I've lost it for days,
and sometimes the cream will start going bad or you know,

(54:08):
it's about to expire. So guess what, I'm gonna make
butter out of it? And I did. I made butter
for Thanksgiving and I used salt and it's perfect. I
must admit that I really did myself with this butter.
But the thing is I used a hand cranked churner

(54:31):
and my mom was standing there and she's like, what
are you doing? And I said, I make the butter.
And she's like, where did you find the churner? And
I told her I actually got it off of my
house on and she was like, I haven't. I haven't
seen one in a long time. And I said, you

(54:55):
want to try it? And she said no, my butter
making days are over. She was like, help, you'll buy it. Fine,
But you know, you know, I'm now trying to get
back the skills that we have given up because technology
actually provided something easier, something quicker, something you know better

(55:17):
I guess than most you know. And and the thing
is that, yeah, it's great to go to store and
buy butter, but what if you can't get to the store.
What if you have cream that's about to turn and
you know, you're like, you know what, I don't want
to waste food. I don't want to do that anymore.

(55:38):
I want to be able to be more frugal with
the what I have. And because we're supposed to be
good stewards too, And I'm like my ant turning my
butter and I'm like, I know, or he's probably going, oh,
there is giggy and I actually we do have an

(56:00):
amish turner. I do. I have that too. So for me,
I have been going back to learn all of the
old ways. And I was talking to, you know, one
of the guys when I went to have my car serviced.
He didn't know how to read the computer from my

(56:25):
car because my car was made in twenty fifteen. He
had only been trained twenty twenty one and forward, Yeah,
and so he had to get somebody else. And I
was talking to Miguel, who was the guy that was
helping me after you know, the guy went to get him,
and I said, is this a problem with mechanics now?

(56:46):
And he said, yeah, you know what the trade school's doing.
And I asked him because this was in my hometown
and I actually know Miguel's sister and so yeah, so
we were talking, and of course we had to cover
all the Telenobela's that we're going on. But you know,
he told me that the trade schools in town are
now providing Classic car mechanics. And I'm like, you have

(57:13):
got to be kidding me. He's like, no, and it's
upper levels. This is not the entry level ones. The
entry level ones are what you know with the computers
and readouts and all that stuff. It's the upper you know.
Once you complete that, then you can sign up for
the Classic. And I'm like, should I be the other
way around? He's like, yeah, you would think so bad.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, well the other that way gets some get some
higher quicker, so it looks good for the school and
so Vermont Tech College. One of my clients is the
Auto Mechanic shop where they do big, big truck repair
and automotive repair. And I've been That've been there a
couple of different classes and you can tell, you know,

(57:58):
because they'll get like six vehicles and they're like, oh,
hey there's a twenty twenty one. Oh hey there's a
you know, twenty sixteen. Oh that's a nineteen eighty. Oh okay,
I can fix that one, you know, But yeah, you
could see the different levels of classes fixing on working
on each ones, and you can tell the new kids
they're starting with the newer vehicle.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Yeah, And it's just you know, I I know that
there's this people like shy away from the whole trad
wife thing. But the trad wife is a trap on
social media. That's that's just a that's all fake.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
But they're redheaded piehorn making.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Yeah exactly. But there are several accounts that do actually homesteadying,
and there are accounts that are like, I'm just not learning,
so come learn with me, and as I learned, I
will teach you and all this stuff. And I love
those accounts because they don't mind messing up. They learn
from the mistakes. They tell you to look for these

(59:01):
mistakes and if you make these mistakes, this is how
you correct them. And that's what I want. I don't
want the perfect person telling me this is how you
do it, and if I mess up, I'm like then
what now? I mean I have nothing from that particular person, right,
And so there was one there was one gal that
was saying, We're going to make Depression Era a cake,

(59:22):
and I'm like, my mind went blank. I'm like depression cake. What, well,
this cake is not made with any flour, it's not
made with eggs, and it's not made with milk, but
it's still cake. And so she went step by step
and I'm like, I was completely transfixed about this whole thing.

(59:43):
And so I asked Mom. I said, Mom, was that
something that you had, because she's actually she was born
in forty six, but they were so dirt port it
might have well been the Depression. And she said, no,
we couldn't afford the cocoa. She didn't even know what
oko was until after she was married.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Well, it's funny the the gay then Captain American dude
Dylan Hollis does all his little shorts and whatnot of
making old time food m h. And you look at
the sheer number of his followers, and they're not necessarily young,

(01:00:24):
I mean not old, they're on the younger side. So
there is a bit of this that is is I think,
still going to linger. But it is so to me,
it's so awesome and weird at the same time to
see how people are trying to use them, both the
modern say AI and the old ways of doing thing.

(01:00:44):
And I know people in EP's schools that refuse to
read other than with paper books, you know, and cheapers
are like, oh, it's available on your laptop, and they're like, no,
I need it in my hand ends, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
So it were.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
As as a an alien from another planet who was
sent here to study humans. I enjoy seeing the dichotomy
of how we're splitting and how some are rebelling by
embracing both. And I'm really curious how it's going to
shape out in the next five years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
It's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Yeah, yeah, you know, just from that point of view,
that anthropological if you will, study, it's kind of fascinating.
It's kind of like, how what is it women are
complaining about men? Yes, I'm killing the segues.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
You are? You are killing it with the segways.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
I should maybe I should be called Brad.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Uh No. It was really funny because last week, you know,
Brad and I talked about the whole man keeping article
that's person wrote and we went into in depth about it.
But there was something that a lot of people skipped
over when this woman was talking about mankeeping and how

(01:02:12):
women are so tired of it. There is a certain
myth that exists to this day. I call it a
myth because we have what we call patriarchal societies and
we have what we call matrixal societies. But the dirty
little secret is that all societies are books.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
One more than the other. One works in the shadows
while the other one is more forward. Even in a
matrical society, the patriarchy is working behind the scenes in
the you know, they're not shunned, they're not put away,
they're not devalued. So they always work constantly with each

(01:02:57):
other because they provide something that the other side cannot provide.
And one of the thirty secrets about what we call
a patriarchal society is the fact that the women behind
the scenes help to stabilize that society. This is why

(01:03:20):
immigration can be a boon in certain ways and can
be harmful in other ways. The way that immigration is
a boon is when you're actually immigrating women, not men,
because men tend to be the ones that hold that society,

(01:03:42):
that actual fabric together the cultures, the norms, all of
those things are helped by men in a patriarchal in
what we call a patriochal society, but they are the
ones that go off to war, They are the ones
that will die in battle. They are the ones that
need to be replaced. Well, you replace them by pillaging
and plundering other women in other places, bringing them back

(01:04:05):
to your culture, and having the women in that culture
assimilate them into the culture. And then they provide new
blood and new heirs and new men that are indigenent
to that culture. And that is how patriarchal societies tend
to keep building and building and building the Viking systems

(01:04:29):
and the Romans didn't. The Romans failed in that, and
you can see when Rome started to break into smaller
and smaller pieces right before the fall. The immigration that
was coming in was male oriented. It was not female oriented.
They were not bringing in women to be their concubines,

(01:04:52):
to be their slaves, to be their breeders, you know,
for lack of a better term. They were bringing in men. Well,
those men have absolutely no loyalty to the culture that
you're coming into. They're bringing their own because they came
from a place where their culture mattered. They're the ones
that we're gig keeping that culture. So of course they're

(01:05:14):
not going to pay attention to the culture they're coming into.
And we see echoes of that going on right now
throughout the world in several countries to include this one.
And this is something that I have been This is
something that we learned in anthropology. Didn't give an example.

(01:05:34):
After Charle Manne conquered you know, Great Britain, what happened.
He brought his men right yep. But in order to
establish the men to have legitimate claims to nobility, he
had to marry them to the noble women that were there. Yeah,

(01:05:57):
that's how they that's how he kind of held And
a lot of people don't understand, but William the Conqueror
had a very tenuous hold. Yeah, very tenuous. I mean
we're talking, I mean, like not even Bubblegup could hold
it together.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Yeah. I almost. I almost did a two hour episode
on William the Conqueror. So yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
He's not one of my favorite people. But anyway, because
he outright lied to get the papal manner, and that
to me shows somebody that did not believe in the church.
But anyway, that's neither here nor there whatever, that's another story.
But he in order to kind yeah yeah, just like that.

(01:06:47):
So anyway to hold onto his tenuous power the men
that he had promised all these things to well, he
had to marry them off, and he couldn't marry them
to just the women that they actually took captive or anything.
He had to marry them to the noble women. And

(01:07:11):
by marrying them to the noble women, that's how these
men got their titles. Well, these men were still going
off the war with William, they were still fighting, they
were still doing The women were still home with their kids.
And this is why England never spoke French. That's why
we still speak English. The women were in charge of

(01:07:34):
raising the children. So you always had that matriarchy in
the shadows, in the background, always providing the support for
the men. Now, don't get me wrong, those boys grew
up to follow William, but they followed them speaking English
and knowing the English ways, not the French ways, because

(01:07:58):
they weren't being raised in Normandy. They were being raised
in England. So that was one of the ways how
they managed to hold onto that culture. Even though William
was the conqueror. William came from Normandy, William was not English.
He was still their king. But in the background you

(01:08:20):
have the women doing things the British way, and so
that is the same thing that we have here in
the United States. In a way, the women are still
doing the same thing. The problem that we have now
is that the women that are doing it are the awfuls,

(01:08:41):
the elite, the white elite, offfls that really do not
have the best interest of child rearing. They don't have
the best interest of education, they don't have the best
interests of actually keeping the culture together. For the men

(01:09:03):
who do go off, who are still going off to
fight in battle, we're still doing that. We're doing it
here at home. And so that is one of the
things that I see starting to worry me a lot.
We do have an influx of immigration, we do have
that problem. We also have the problem of non assimilation.

(01:09:24):
And I'm not just speaking about the illegal immigrants that
are coming across the Rio Grande River. I'm talking about
the ones that we brought in from Somalia, the ones
that we have brought in from other parts of the
Middle East and Haiti, and people that will not will
not assimilate here because for them, the end game is

(01:09:46):
non assimilation. It's capitulation of the people that are here.
And so you have these women who are actually thriving
on the political correctness of having this. You know, the
immigration is good. You know, we need immigrants and all
that stuff, and I'm not saying we don't. You know,
I was accused of being an immigrant just a little

(01:10:08):
while ago by someone who mistook one of the Twitter
games as being something that I would say out loud
to somebody. And I'm like, you fell for a Twitter game,
and she's just, oh, you're so awful, you know, as
an immigrant. I'm offended. I said, well, then that's your problem. Yeah,
I'm sorry, but not really, that's your problem. If you're offended,

(01:10:30):
the problem lies with you, not with me. I already
explained what that was. You fell for a Twitter game.
That's on you. And she's like, I showed my parents
and my parents were just so disgusted.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Problems with them too, you want to tell you, But
here we know where that apple fell from which tree?

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Yes, God, I cannot. But anyway, you have a situation
whereby you know, the men who are the structure of
the culture are not being replaced. My men who will
be the structures of that culture. They're being replaced my

(01:11:09):
men who don't care about the structure of that culture
that they're in. They want to bring their own and
this is how you start breaking apart a society. You
saw it with Rome, you saw it with You're seeing
it live and in glorious, living color in Great Britain

(01:11:30):
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Yeah. Yeah, And even in places like Germany where they're
starting to push back, it's already a little too late.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Oh, it is definitely too late. This is and I
find that the hilarious irony of a German member of
their parliament screaming and screeching about how awful Poland is
for closing its borders and kicking out the the illegals

(01:12:00):
that were, you know, the criminal element of illegals there.
They well, guess what Poland is happy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Poland looks at Germany. He goes, Oh, I learned it
from you pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
I was like, I'm like, you think Poland cares. Polan
wants to save its people, and they're doing a good job.
So is Hungary. And Italy is starting to wake up
to that fact, and they're starting to do the same thing.
Italy just had a horrible thing happened. Apparently there was
a young couple that was out parking and they were

(01:12:36):
about to get it on, I guess, and a group
of Moroccan immigrants broke into the car, pinned him down
while they gang grad.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Yep, and Finland's starting to revolt too.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Finlan is starting to revolt. I think I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna call it Sweden's done for. I don't think
Sweden can do anything because the fleix to Sweden has
been too high. So this is something that we used
to learn in anthropology. But you know, my discipline has
gone the way of the Dodo. They don't do anthropology anymore.

(01:13:14):
We used to have that whole prime directive thing where
we went to certain cultures, certain you know, little towns,
little villages or whatever, and all we were supposed to
do is take notes and we talked to them, and
we let them talk to us, and we let them
teach us how they do things and all that stuff.

(01:13:34):
We just pretended to be blind, deaf and dumb. Now
we go out there and tell them, yeah, you're doing
it wrong, and I'm like, no, you're not supposed to
do that. What are you doing? And so, you know,
my discipline is just this another one. It's done for.
I think it even exists anymore the way it used to.

(01:13:56):
And I'm not saying that it was perfect because it
was run by rather very very chauvinistic men. But to
give them credit, at least when they were to study somebody,
they sat down and shut up and didn't do anything

(01:14:16):
but take notes. And you don't have that now, but
you have, you know, like Berlin Game. And yeah, Berlin
Game had this wonderful whole threat about it. The native
sun is the one that holds the pillars to the

(01:14:37):
culture of that particular society. When you bring in women
who are not native, the native women take them in
and they acclimatize them, They make them assimilate, they teach
them their ways and everything, and so they become part

(01:14:57):
of that population. They're not Native, but they give birth
to men that will become Native sons. But when you
bring in non native men into that population, what you're
creating is you're bringing two cultures together, neither of which
wants to assimilate into the other. And that's the situation

(01:15:21):
that we find ourselves in right now. And I will
say it, there is one group of people on this
planet that does not seek to assimilate to anything that is.
And that particular group is seeking to spread itself as
far as possible because they want a specific goal, and

(01:15:44):
the goal is everyone else must assimilate to them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Yeah, because they're not going to other like minded countries.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
No they're not.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
They're going to Japan and making Japan vote in really
good people to say enough of this crafty mm hmm. Yeah, definitely,
the Irish. Irish are horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Those those those people, they do make good butter though.
I gotta give him that. So that was, you know,
the reading that whole thread. I was just like, man,
this takes me back to school. This really takes me
back to school, because that's pretty much how we learned
the definitions of patriarchal versus matrichal. Which one was working

(01:16:30):
in the back burner, which one was working behind the scenes.
I mean Genghis Khan, dude took over half of the world.
Who do you think was calling the shots back home?
It was the women.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Women.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Yeah, the women were telling him, Hey, dude, this guy
he told me my ankles were fat. Go get him seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
I mean, same with the Viking culture and and the
and and the pseudo Russian Finish Viking cousins. But yeah,
the Zach same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
So for me, I'm just like, I'm waiting to see
how this all plays out, it's not too late, but
it is too late in certain parts of this country.
I will say dearborn is lost. It's completely lost. And
now we're having some issues here in Texas as well,

(01:17:23):
and they are being addressed slowly, but they are being
addressed at least. This is something that a lot of
people need to pay heed pay mine to because no
matter what they tell you, no matter how pc they
want you to be or anything, you cannot change the

(01:17:45):
basic understanding between men and women and how they work
in a society. It really is very basic. It's very fundamental.
It's genetic. It's in our genes. This is how we are,
and you cannot get away from human nature.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
You just can't. And I'm reminded of the Sam Kennison joke,
and I think it kind of side illustrates the point
to where his bit was. He was getting, say, why
are we constantly sending money to these people for food?
Why don't we take a U haul and move them

(01:18:25):
to where the food is. It's that mindset of where
you know, no, we're not going to move because that's
where the food is. You're going to support us. We're
gonna make you support us. And we're gonna make you
feel bad if you don't. That mindset has now finally
started to move and infiltrate other areas, and you can
tell when it hits an area.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
I just find it very interesting that, you know, we're
discussing this, and I'm sure somebody listening somewhere is going
but you know, this is you know, one of the
things that I've I've been trained to do is just
I'm a people watcher. And one of my favorite series

(01:19:16):
of books is the Miss Marple Detective novels by Agatha Christie,
because this is an old lady that never left her house.
I mean, she never left the place where she lived,
the little town, and she just made a study of everyone.

(01:19:36):
She would watch everybody, their habits, the way they they
reacted to things, the way they communicated with people, the
way the things that they did, and everything, and she
noticed that they were always patterns. And it's true, people
do have patterns, even those that do not, you know,

(01:19:58):
they don't see this other person every day, they may
have the same patterns. And so I remember reading those
books when I was a teenager, and when I went
in to study anthropology, I started seeing those same patterns
in my classmates and even my teacher. She made mention.

(01:20:23):
She said, there's one student here that's always watching you guys,
and you've never noticed. She noticed that I would watch everybody.
So everybody's like looking around what, so I've pretended to
look around too. She thought it was funny because I
didn't want I don't I didn't want to just there
at everybody, going oh, I've been found. No, no, no,
I'm gonna like, oh, who are they talking about? You know? So,

(01:20:45):
but she noticed and she pulled me aside one day
and she asked me, It's like, why isn't that you
watch people all the time? And I said, I learned
that from I Gota Christie. And she looked at me
and said what. And I told her about you know,
Miss Marple, Saint Mary Mead and all the people and
all that stuff. And she says, okay, I got to

(01:21:08):
read this. I got to read these books. And I said, oh,
I have one, and I had it in my backpack,
right So I gave it to her and we had
a Tuesday and Thursday class and this was Thursday. On Tuesday,
she gave it back to me and she says, I
get it now and she got hooked on those books
too because it was the same method that I was using,

(01:21:32):
and she said, this is this is fantastic. Well, what
a lot of people don't know is that Agatha Christy
was so intense in everything that she studied that when
she was asked, when she asked around, who is the
foremost archaeologist's foremost person in Middle Eastern archaeology, and people

(01:21:53):
at the Royal Academy looked at her and said you are.
And she was like, what, I write books and they said, yeah,
you study so much that you know more than most
of us do. She was for a time the foremost
expert on Middle Eastern archaeology. So she was very intense
that way, and that was one of the things that

(01:22:14):
she adapted for that character was the way she watched
people and all that stuff. And I do that. I
do that constantly. I'm watching people all the time. I
mean I walk into into the grocery store and I'm
in the proto section. The first thing I do is
situational awareness, like where is everybody? You know, what are
they doing? And I start wondering. You know, it's like,

(01:22:36):
you know, this person is like going really slow and
I figure they don't know what they're looking for. This
other person zips in, zips out. It's like, okay, he did.
His wife probably told him exactly what to get it.
Just hurry up, right, And so you start you start
noticing things about the way people behave. This is the

(01:22:57):
issue that I've been having. I've been seeing people behaving
in a way. We were trained to be pc We
were trained to cower under the racism card or the
you know, how dare you be against immigration card? Or
any of these things, you know, And so now people

(01:23:19):
censor themselves. They censor themselves a lot, and we need
to break away from that sense self censorship. Boy, that's
hard to say.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
Well, I do think there's one group of people we
need to censor. And before we close out, I got
to tell this story because it absolutely floored me when
I saw it. Pre show. These people need censored are
the ones that apparently are practicing a new bizarre skincare
trend called menstrual masking. You heard me right, Applying menstrual

(01:23:55):
blood as a face mask, Oh my god. What Some
call the practice spiritual or empowering, tapping into the divine feminine,
whilst others are comparing it to vampire facials made famous
by the Kim Kardashian where the normatologists inject palette rich
plasma into the skin, amassing three point five million TikTok searches.

(01:24:23):
Minstrel masking is getting a lot of attention, So if
you watch YouTube, shorts gets what you're probably going to
see in the coming weeks. And for those really really
curious before we say our goodbyes. The masking contains a
mix of tissue from the lining of the uterus called
the endometrium, as well as circulating blood and vaginal fluid.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
I cannot.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Once again, Douglas Adams had at rate humans were a mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Oh god, boy was it ever? I just can't.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
I'm like, ah, these are the women raising our boys.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
Yeah, yeah, this is it. I I got nothing. I
understand what menstrual sloughing is. I get what it is.
I understand that there it's obviously the lining, the nutritious
lining in order to feed the fertilized egg. I get it.

(01:25:33):
I'm a girl. You still have that when I had
my uterus. So I understand that people would think that
there are some benefits to things like this, things of
that manner. But they don't seem to understand is that
there are synthetic ways, yes, that you can direct those

(01:25:54):
same benefits. Okay, yes, And I just I'm like, why
are you doing this? My god, No, don't do this,
and please, if you're gonna do it, don't tell anybody
what are you thinking.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
And don't put a picture of yourself doing it on
the daily mail. Please don't.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
This is like the whole, you know, butthole in the
sun thing.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
I oh, yes, you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
Were laying and exposing your butthole to the sun like
a suntan. I'm like, do you have any idea how
sensitive that skin is? You're gonna burn there, It's gonna
hurt a lot, but whatever. Yeah, anyway, I swear at
the end of that. Yeah, so don't you tell us

(01:26:43):
what we can.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Find you Sunday Night Lost Wonder, Space and Science at
eight pm, and the following Monday Spirited Books on December first.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
Yay, I know you have your book and I have mine.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
I know I've already read and I got to re
read it because I can't believe what I read the
first time.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
So let this will be fun and heads up, it's
it's going to be a Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Yes, right, yes it is.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
So why whereas my book is not a Hallmark book.
I'm betting that Hallmark's going to find it and make
a movie out of it. So I'm just I'm just
putting that out there before I before you know, we
read it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
So yeah, so where can we find you at all?
