Right, when did we all get this dumb?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I don't see anybody, so it doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'm the chef. I want to hear one thing. Yes, chef,
come on, man, here's your brain.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
The Why I'm Angry Podcast start now.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
All right, guys, it's the y am Angry podcast. This
is the chef blurry on the screen here, but we'll
figure that out in a second. We have some a
new new host here in the studio Freestyle Man Cave
Studio here in Upper Dayton, and uh, we're just uh

(01:05):
we're gonna talk about quite a bit, I think. So
let's get into it. Carson, Let's see if I can
get you on here. Yeah, there you are. Ye got
Carson Hughes here in the in the podcast. I'm really
really excited about that. Uh we've got him in. He's
he's kind of daisy fresh. It's one of those new guys.

(01:29):
And uh, you know, I've actually I've known Carson since
before he was he was Carson, so I've gotten to
kind of see him grow up and uh and kind
of be uh be an influence in his life. So
it'd be cool to see how much I've actually gotten
to uh to.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
End part here.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
So but anyhow, we're going to uh, we got a
few things to talk about. We're gonna talk about let
me get the list out here. We're gonna talk about
the Trump Peace Deal. We're gonna talk about the government shutdown.
We're gonna finally address and I haven't. I've been meaning to,

(02:09):
and just with life and all of the stuff that
we go through in life, you know, things get in
the way, time gets away from you, and the podcasts
don't get made. And so we're gonna talk about Charlie
hurt and kind of really it's probably a good time
to start talking about it because now all of the

(02:30):
dust is settled. Now we know a little bit more
about it, and you know, we can kind of give
like from the back back side of things. We got
fat bears, We've got an article about people actually trusting

(02:51):
the government. And I've got one other funny one that
I can't remember what it is, but you know, I've
got it up here, so it'll definitely it'll definitely come
up come about. So let's get into it. Oh yeah,

(03:12):
the one was Taco Bell. Oh nice, all right, Ah,
there he is. Uh so, yeah, we'll talk about Uh,
let's get into the government shutdown, all right. The government
shutdown is now in what daylight twenty I think is
a yeah like that, there's been a couple of weeks.

(03:34):
From what I'm hearing, there really isn't a ton of motion.
There's another you know, the the Democrats have doubled down
on the fact of they need that one point five
trillion dollars and that one point five trillion dollars is
to go to illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants, whatever you want

(03:57):
to call them, to make sure they get healthcare. I
appeal a bunch of the big beautiful bill and incomings. Yeah,
the new things that they have just you know, they
just want to repeal all those laws because it's not
it's not their idea for one. And what's said is

(04:20):
is some of those things were things that they wanted
to do years ago that now they're they're fighting against
because Trump's names on it.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah. Yeah, No, I think the I think the interesting
part is too again they say for the illegal aliens, whatever.
But a government shut down affects the economy, it affects
all kinds of things. While Trump's in office, so when
people look back at this, they'll see old Trump's in office.
But then then this happened and government shut down all

(04:50):
these things, and it's on the it's it's blame to him,
you know what I mean? Right? Yeah, uh so I
think that's also a tactic that they use along with
it is just to pin Trump with it as any things.
It's as they can to prevent a Democratic candidate winning
in how many years? Right? Three more years? Yeah? Right?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
And yeah, I mean I think it it is. It's
all part of you know, we got to keep our jobs,
that's you know. And I think that something that we
could do to curtail all of this in fighting and
stuff is honestly term limits, you know, something that we've
we've talked about here on the on the podcast kind
of extensively. But you know, all of this is just

(05:31):
political rhetoric and it's not it's not helping the people.
They're not fighting to help us, and so shutting down
the government over you know, we had a continuing resolution
from from the Republicans and not that again, not that
we're all Republicans or we're all Democrats or whatever. We're

(05:54):
we're all free thinking people. Really, we should be. And
if you're not and you're just listening to us, then
you're part of the problem. And if you're just listening
to MSNBC, you're part of the problem. And if you're
just listening to Fox, you're part of the problem. Yeah,
you know, think for yourself, get out there and figure
out what you think is the best for the country.
And then and that's what we're doing here, is we're

(06:17):
thinking this out that you know, they shut down the government.
But why are they shutting down the government. It's not
it's not because they're arguing about you know, pennies here, right,
It's because it looks better for one side than the
other to to shut down the government. And I don't
even think it looks better for the Democrats to shut

(06:37):
down the government because they're now shutting down the government
because the Republicans came with a continuing resolution that literally
was the same Biden era resolution that we had before. Yeah,
everything is at Biden level levels. You know, what they
want to do is come in and change the level

(07:00):
too whatever, you know, lower the the the burden of
health care, you know, make sure that the military is
funded and the veterans are are getting paid and things
like that, which is you know, personally, we've been going
through through the fight on that and I've I've kind

(07:22):
of talked about that a little bit here and there,
that you know, veterans are being kind of squeezed out
at the moment, especially our oldest veterans that you know,
the things that they are now they're now going through
and that they're than that is not being covered because
they could just wait it out. You know, at seventy

(07:42):
eighty years old, we just waited out a little bit
and maybe they're gone, yeah, and not maybe they're gone,
they are gone, right, and we just and we didn't
take care of their their final days, and we didn't
take care of them for taking care of us.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, And so.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I think we've we've lost sight and we like I've
always said, you know, the government thousands of miles away
is not going to take care of you as well
as the people in your community. And so we're giving
them millions and billions and trillions of dollars every year
to do what what are you know what when it

(08:22):
comes down to the government, what is the government supposed
to do for us?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah? Was that legate question?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
If you want to answer it, you can it's it's
a question I ask a lot, so you know, sometimes
sometimes it's rhetorical, right, but if you want to, yeah, like.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I mean, what do you think, Well, a couple of things.
I think I think people over emphasize how much impact
that the government does have because because everyone and even me,
whenever Joe Biden was in office, we're looking forward to Trump.
Our lives are going to change. Everything's gonna be sunshine
and rainbows. Obviously, there's a lot of stuff that Trump

(09:01):
has to remove. But I think it's just a broken
system in general. I think we are pushing towards a
point that we cannot fix in a sense, especially with
the debt problem. And they're worried about money. Well, they
we haven't been worried about money because we just keep
pushing that number up. And where's the ceiling is what
the question is. And trading the market, it looks scary,

(09:25):
it doesn't look good. We had to sell off the
other day as well. I think it was like a
three percent sell off just as soon as Trump announces
triff tariffs on China. So yeah, Anyways, I just think
it's a broken system. But it I think there's definitely
corruption on both sides too. Not all Republicans are good

(09:46):
and that's just the truth. And especially in the last
couple of months for me, there's I'm sure we'll get
to this stuff later, but there's been some more questioning
for me as well, from Okay, why do I believe this?
Why is this the case? Is this? Have I been doctrinated?
And there's some things that I can say, and it's
crazy to think about that I've definitely been indoctrinated on

(10:06):
and was not I guess correct biblically from a Christian
standpoint as well.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Right, And and we all, you know, we all learned
from from our environments, and that's you know, that's one
thing like I was. I was kind of blessed that
I grew up in a farm farm community in northern
Ohio and like Podunk, nothing like we lived eight miles
from Hicksville. Literally, like there is an actual Hicksville and

(10:37):
it is arouse from Farmer, Ohio, where I grew up.
And you know, the biggest thing to come out of
out of Farmer Ney Sherwood, that area that our school
was in was Ned Garver, who was the last thirty
game winner on a hundred game loss team.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, and he didn't even like and you think, oh,
you know, thirty game winner, he should have money, blah blah.
He didn't make his millions off of baseball.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
This was back in the time when you didn't make
your money off of like the game that kids play.
You you know, you made money. You made three times
what the national average is. But at that time, you
just think about this, this is this is seventy five
years ago. In the fifties, you were making eighteen to

(11:29):
thirty thousand a year, and thirty thousand a year was
three times the national average.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's insane, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Now they make you know, we just were talking about it.
Kirk Cousins gets two hundred million dollars deal to be
tupperware for Penix, and in that you know, that's not
anywhere close to three times the national average of what
people make, you know, most people make. You know, the

(11:59):
poverty line think they said last time was forty five thousand.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think that's the average.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And the average per average home make somewhere around sixty
five to seventy five thousand is where things were at.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
And you know, so.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
If we were back in that time, you know, the
the ravage. Baseball players make them out a million and
a half dollars or so, or no, a couple of
hundred thousand dollars, and they would, you know, retire to
do whatever. You know, they're they're they're forty years old.
They go on and play whatever or do whatever. And
you know, nowadays they make millions of dollars and then

(12:40):
they go on to be broadcasters and make millions more
and things like that. And and no, no, you know,
no hate or shame or anything like that to people
who make great money. Just the fact of the matter.
You know, we always used to we used to work hard,
and the things that we grew up with. And I guess,

(13:00):
going back off the bunny trail to back to why
I was saying, where I grew up, we grew up
there was there was one atheist teacher that prosetolytized atheism.
There may have been more teachers that were atheists, but
he was the one that pushed it out. And my parents,
luckily in as a kid, my parents were my mom

(13:22):
who had the same teacher because we went to the
same school. Wow, yeah, she knew about him and she
had walked out of his class before because he was made,
you know, he'd make fun of Christianity or he would
do say this and that, and so she literally told us,
you know, if he starts pushing atheism, you walk out.

(13:43):
So we were taught at a super early age, you know,
fight the system, not everything, you know, question people and
question your teachers, question your you know everything. Yeah, And honestly,
the Bible even says to question your leaders with the
Bible and with the Word of God so that you

(14:04):
know that they're walking the right path and that you
should be following that pathtly. Just follow anyone blindly, like
if you just you know, if you're just following that
person blindly, then you know, if they go in you know,
if they fall off the cliff like Lemmings, then you
fall off the cliff like Livings.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Also know that you know that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
And I think that that's it's just it's just good
to take that time all the time and just look
back and say, you know, where am I am I
being indoctrinated? Have I looked at that thing wrong? Have
I done that? You know? And so that's why we
have even on this podcast, we have the conversations that
we have because honestly, I was just telling you that.

(14:43):
You know, I've been in conversations on the podcast and thought,
all right, you're right.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you know, we've.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Talked about it, you know, whether whether incarceration is supposed
to be you know, whether you're supposed to be rehabilitated,
or whether you're just you know, you're just doing your
time as a pen and things like that, Whether we're
supposed to be educating people in jail. You know, is
it just jail for the sake of you know, you're

(15:09):
in time out as a kid, and you're supposed to
be in time out learning a lesson about you know, think,
think about what you've done type of or is is
it really just a punishment for doing the crime? And
so I think that kind of that kind of runs
into it. What is the government really supposed to give you?

(15:30):
And really, when it comes down to nuts and bolts,
brass tacks, what they're supposed to give you is safety. Yeah,
and that's it? And what is that? What is that does?
What does that really entail? That entails? You know, I
guess an army police, your federal government should just give

(15:51):
you a safe border. And maybe they've you know, again,
you've got an army to protect your country, and you
can you can argue that going you know, sending the
army out to blah blah blah, Israel, Afghanistan, wherever, you know, Japan, China, whatever,

(16:12):
you know, that keeps us safe because we're keeping the
fight there, which you can kind of say, it's it's
done a good job. We haven't had a war on
our soil that we didn't create, other than when Japan attacked,
and that really wasn't a war. That was just one

(16:34):
miscalculation if you ask the.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Japanese and on an island.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
So which is really cool. If you ever get a
chance to go to like Pearl Harbor, it is it is. Yeah,
it is just a humbling place. You can tell, like
if you just feel you can feel a spirit there.
It just feels like something major happened. You know, if
you if you go to different places like that, like

(16:57):
to you know, Gettysburg and stuff like that, you can
feel that something happened on these grounds, you know type
type thing. And per Harber is one of those places.
But anyhow, so really to me, and and that's and
and that's probably goes to my like strict constitutionalists like
feelings that you know, your government really should just provide

(17:21):
you with safety. And then if you go, if you
trickle it down to your state, your state's going to
take better care of you than your your federal government
because you're no, you're you're less of a number to them.
And then your county governments should take care of you
better than your federal government and your state government because

(17:42):
those should be the people, you know taking care of you,
you know, And so if they if you want programs
and stuff, they should come out of you know, your
local county or your or your city more than they
should come out of your state or your federal Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
So I think I do think the one thing that
you have to add to that what the federal government does,
at least from my standpoint, is freedom as well. Because
just for example, if you look at like communist countries,
their whole goal, okay, everyone's safe, is kind of like
a oh, what's the word where everything's great and happy? Yeah, utopia.

(18:22):
That that's their goal, where everyone's equal, everyone gets paid
the same, everything is no incentive, it's just these lines,
so I think, and they're all safe, that's all good,
But without that freedom, what a safety really mean?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
You know?

Speaker 2 (18:38):
What I mean, I think, but I think if you
just if you just dwindle it down to they're going
to provide us a safe space. They provide us a
safe space to do what we want.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's for sure would agree that you're not you're.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
You're you know, you're not making a law that you
can't drink mountain dews or you're not making you know,
they're they wouldn't be sitting there making a law based
off of you know. Honestly, as as much as vaccines
and things have been in the news and been I
think your federal government should shouldn't control your vaccine program.
Like they're trying to get babies to take and and

(19:18):
we talked about I talked about this I think last podcast.
But they're they're trying to get babies to take a
the het.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
B.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
No, it's it's either the hep B or the the
influenza B vaccine. And I can't remember I said it
right on the last podcast, so you know, give me
grace on this one. But uh, it's it's it's a
it's the HPV vaccine and HPV is a sexually transmitted
disease and they want you to they want to get

(19:50):
it into babies because they don't know when the next
time they'll get a chance to vaccinate the these kids. Well,
that's the stupidest like junk there is, Like I understand that. Yeah,
inner city kids, you may not get another you know.
There there's a lot of kids that fall through the cracks,
you see, the farm kids whatever, that never come back

(20:14):
to the doctor. But if unless your kid is like
wrestling at three years old or you know, it has
to come from saliva, it has to come from bodily
bodily fluids. Yeah, so my kid isn't you know, doing
those things right having you know, they're not having sex

(20:37):
at five or whatever. So we're you know, just why,
you know, why is the why is the federal government
trying to control that?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah? Yeah, I think I think one of the reasons
for that, at least from a Christian standpoint, is that,
uh is the indoctrination of making us used to it,
making us okay, what is this like? And oh my gosh,
the COVID shot wasn't the was not the mark of
the beast. But just think about how many Christians who

(21:08):
were forced as well, like it really was you lose
your job if you don't get this, and you can't
provide for your kids if you don't get this same
I think about that all the time future wise, like gosh, man,
when I have kids one day, I'm I'm going to
have to pick between putting the food. Who knows the
time or the hour, but pick between putting food on

(21:28):
the table for them and selling my soul. Like it's
it's going to get to that point for some people,
even if it's not us here on earth.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Well, and and I guess just to walk right into it,
you know, they did, they did over the last couple
of weeks set up a you know, signed a bill
to start you know, digitizing all currency, not just getting
away with getting getting rid of the penny. Now we're
getting rid of all you know, nicols, dimes and everything.

(21:59):
And and when you know, this isn't this isn't bitcoin,
this is digital currency, Like this isn't you pay? We
already have digital currency because we pay on our card.
Yeah we do. And that's and that's one thing. But
right now the government doesn't control all of that that

(22:19):
cash that we put on the cards. They don't like
each bank has its.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Own system government controlled.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, there's a regulatory system that kind of looks over
it as this is, you know, will ensure it if
for some reason, the bank's robbed or there's a hacker
or something like that. But this is that the government
will actually release funds into the economy from the digital

(22:54):
currency now like they're they'll will, they'll, you know, they'll
they'll put more digital currency out into into the into society.
And you know, I don't think people understand like the
real the real science behind it, because I think it's
hard for one to understand bitcoin. For two, like I

(23:17):
don't think anybody realizes what they do when they make money,
when money is being printed, that you're not just you're
not just replacing bills. There's not just like there there's
you know, if there's an infinite amount of something, it's
not worth anything. Yeah, like being that in diamonds over

(23:39):
the last you know, like five or ten years here
that you know, they used to mind diamonds and that
was the only way we could get diamonds, and which
is why we had so many slaves out there and
blood diamonds and all of that, because you can only
get so many diamonds. But honestly, they were never as
rare as they made them out to be because there

(24:01):
was a monopoly over the diamond trade. You know, one
company basically bought all of the diamonds and then they
released so many out into the public. And so they
kept the you know, a carrot diamond at a thousand
or two thousand bucks, they kept a two carrot diamond
at you know, five or ten thousand dollars. Yeah, you know,
when in all honesty, if they released them all, there

(24:25):
was plenty of diamonds out there that they would have
dropped the prices not to not to you know, it
wouldn't have killed the market maybe, but you never.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Know, right, But you know, who's controlling the supply and
the demands? And if the government starts controlling the supply
and demand, then trouble.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
If the government can control every aspect of the supply.
Think about what they've done in the last two or
three years with the Biden era, Like they've weaponized everything
that they could, the I R S. I mean, we
had we had IRS agents busting in a people like
we we arm our I R S agents like they

(25:04):
have guns, like they're allowed to carry guns, bust into
people's houses, take all of your property, like you shouldn't
be worried about the FBI. The FBI just has the
same guns as the I r S. But they can't
take your property. Most of the time, the I r
S can take everything and they can just say, well
it's because he is blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Just like that. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
They can take they can take your land, they can
the whole nine yards. The FBI has to have at
least a paper that's been signed by a judge. The
i r S doesn't have to have a paper signed
by a judge. Yeah, they just say you owe them
and they execute that warrant.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Right.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
So, but so that that's what they've done this whole
you know, that's what they're basically getting set up to do,
is to make it even easier for the control of
your money.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, you know, it's getting close.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's it's uh, it's it's getting scary. It is, honestly,
and you know we can say that the government, like
you said in the beginning, the government, honestly, it didn't
over the last twenty years, probably doesn't affect you your
life a ton.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
You know, the new guy comes in. If you're trading
on the market or you're working in commodities or something
like that. Sure it'll affect you a little bit, but
it's going to affect you a percentage of your income. Yeah,
you either you either you know, bring in other income,
you do different things to subsidize you know, used to

(26:36):
be gold, or you know, you get you know, you
get a second job depending on what your what your
income building capabilities are. And you know, we uh as
that's you know, we we go on, you know, we
figure out a way to get through it. But when

(26:59):
the government can trolls all of your money and it
cuts off your your your source of income, your ability
to income all of that, that's a that's completely different games.
And that's what you were talking about, is you know,
with the mark of the beast. You know, when you
take the mark of the beast, that's how you're going
to be able to trade. That's how you're going to
be able to to have money and stuff like that.

(27:20):
You know, you you you honestly, you hope it's as
easy as there's a community around that are ready to
barter any right, but you know that the way that
they continue to make life easy, that there's whole generations

(27:42):
that have grown up that I say, whole generations, there's
always a pocket of people that grow up and decide
that they're going to to do things on their own
and they don't trust the government. But it's it seems
like there's less and less of a pocket of people
in each generation that are there, you know, growing their

(28:05):
own food or that could sustain. Like we have a
big garden. We have a thirty five by forty garden.
We grow a lot, but to actually sustain, to grow
enough to cover our year of food, Like it takes
a lot of tomatoes to grow enough tomatoes to can

(28:25):
for a year. Green beans, we had like four rows
of green beans. We got like eight or ten cans
of green beans. Wow, how many green beans you go
through in a week?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
You know?

Speaker 2 (28:35):
How many times do you open a can of green
beans or you go to the store and buy a
handful or two of green beans for a meal a week?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
So it's there's a lot, a lot to it, and
so we just you know, as a society, we don't
we honestly don't work that hard. We don't go to
work and then come back and come home and go
out and weed our gardens for hours.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah. So yeah, I think for me too, it really
gives me perspective every time I think about it of like,
as Christians, what we're still here on earth doing? Like
what is our mission? Because sometimes I'll get caught up
in chasing success, chasing wealth, chasing all those things, not idolizing,
but like pursuit of that, because that's what we're here for, right,

(29:22):
But that's not our number one priority. Our number one
priority is to get people saved and build the kingdom.
And it puts that into perspective. Whenever you see all
these things coming, it's like, wow, they're going to take
all of that away from me. This is all I
have is to be able to spread the gospel, right yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, And it's like, you know, not that not that
I don't do other things. You know, I didn't even
tell you. We coached a soccer game on Sunday, Yeah,
championship game or this is like our championship game. We
played the best team in the league. We were the
second worst team in the league. Like not not that

(30:02):
we were bad a bad team, but we just we
didn't get wins. We didn't win a game, we tied
two games, we lost eight games, and then we won
the first game of our playoffs, first game of the
season we won was in the playoffs. So we took
on Newton. Newton one. If you're if you're in the

(30:22):
twelfth grade, you twelve soccer community, you know who they are.
They they're the best in the in the area. They
won every game, They've never been anywhere close to losing.
We decided we had a we had a strategy. We
took it to him. We actually went ahead in the
first quarter, led them to the third quarter. They tied

(30:44):
us up in the third quarter, one to one, all
the way to the end of the game.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, we lost eleven to nothing to them the first
played them. Yeah, second time we've played we've played them
four times. We played them twice in the last two weeks,
and then the second time we played them, we sport
to nothing. So we've been beaten pretty bad by them.
So to take them to the end of the game
one to one into penalty kicks and we lost by
one penalty kick. It was the craziest thing. So there's

(31:11):
there are things that I do that are not just
strictly you know, preaching the gospel, you know, and you'll
hear it a lot on on this podcast, we do say,
you know, we do talk about the gospel and stuff
a lot on the podcast, but there are things that
we still do. But once you once the government takes

(31:32):
control of all of that, your money and everything, the
only thing you're willing to do is try to survive,
you know, is figure out how to survive. And if
you have no skills, yeah, you know, all of that,
all of that building wealth and things like that can
be shut off in a second. Like it's just like

(31:53):
if you were in China, you would know, like they
have a digital currency, and they also have a social marks,
social media or social credit score. And if you don't
follow the government's policies a certain percentage, they put you

(32:15):
on the list and they cut you off. It's crazy,
and you can't get lending, you can't get funding, you
can't you know, you have no money, like they control you.
You know, like they're like all of your money, you know,
is in the bank of China and unless you have
somehow which is illegal. You know, bitcoins illegal in China.

(32:36):
Why is the bitcoin illegal in China Because they don't
control that, right, So if they don't, if they don't
control it.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Then.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know, so you're you're just out. Yeah, but so yeah,

Speaker 2 (35:05):
And all right, we're back. I appreciate you guys if
you came, if you're listening to it now, you're listening
to the podcast. And this is the whym Anger Podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I'm here with.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Carson Hughes and again we're just kind of chatting about
government shut down. There was a there was a poll
put out. It was I don't remember whether it was
yesterday or the day before. Anyways, this is in the
last couple oh ten YEP, that says that a record

(35:42):
sixty Americans say that the federal government has too much power.
They started tracking this back in two thousand and one
with the Gallup poll, and then last year they checked again.
I mean, I checked it incrementally through through the years,
and they've gone kind of looks like the belief is

(36:04):
searched from twenty five percent to sixty six percent this
year to now, like they've got sixty two percent on
the actual poll and last year was fifty one percent,
And so I just kind of like, they don't they
don't really say if it's you know who who you know,

(36:27):
who's pulling who they're pulling, are they really getting you know,
are they really getting a full a full scale of it?
Is it just the Democrats whining that they're, you know,
that the government has too much power? When really the guy,
you know, the Democrats over the last eight years or
you know, last twelve out of the last sixteen years,

(36:49):
have you know, put this amount of power into the
government's hands or are they just whining because as CNBC says,
let's whine right.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah. I mean even in the in the poll it
says that this year for Republicans where fifty eight that
think the government has too much power, which just kind
of shows that even even with Trump in office, that
there's there's but it's it's a sticky topic in my opinion,
because even you look at Gosh, when when GM was

(37:28):
about to go down and then the government stepped in
and funded them, like because because we say, like, the
government isn't supposed to help businesses and and leave leave
individual businesses alone. But how how would that have affected
the economy? Would GM have gotten under would that have
caused the chain reaction? That's why it's tough, Like they

(37:49):
saved GM, and that helped the economy, That helped all
of us in our day to day lives and in
some capacity, I would say, So that's that's why I
think it's it's tough to say they should be hands
off all businesses, all everything.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
So we talked about that actually in the last last
one or two podcasts, and and I honestly feel a
little differently about it. And in the long I think
in the short term, yes, it definitely helped the economy
because thou you know, GM employs thousands of people, and
for them to have just completely lost their jobs right

(38:23):
then that day.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Would have been devastating.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Like the the implement implications on the economy that day
would have been astounding and we would still be feeling
it today. But but my thought on the on the
long range health of companies like GM or like FOURD
or you know that that uh just set it down,

(38:57):
that did all of that, is that they're because they
weren't allowed to fail. They didn't another company didn't come
up in its weight that there wasn't a new you know, GM,
like AMC failed it was a car company back in

(39:20):
the seventies, and they became GM, a bigger, more, more healthy,
stronger company GM. Because they weren't allowed to fail, they
still have all of that dead weight that was killing
them before. And so and with that, now the government

(39:44):
controls a certain percentage of GM. They like, they have
a certain invested interest in GM, and so that way
they can also tell GM to make this or this.
And you know, when it's Democrats, they're telling them to
make certain cars, and when it's not Democrats, they're telling
them to make other cars. And that's not healthy for

(40:05):
for a company to retool every four years government, so,
you know, and it's the same thing with Intel. Intel
is is ready to fail, like right now, Like if
you look at their actual financials and the and the
and thess the mistakes that the the board has made,

(40:30):
they should they should fail. But because the government owns
part of Intel, because the government has backed bailed out Intail, Intel,
the other companies like a m D and that have
made good decisions, have really made the decisions that made
sense for the future aren't allowed to take over the

(40:54):
Intel's space and be stronger and better and make us better.
And that's where I think, you know, I think the
idea of making America great, you know, just that that
greatness that we have. It's not about the fact that
America itself is great. It's a fact that if somebody

(41:17):
may there is always that person behind you that is
going to be greater or better than you are. You know,
Carnegie could Carnegie and the Rockefellers could never have seen
Google or a m D or Intel or Bill Gates

(41:39):
or any of those guys coming. You know, they would
have never seen that. But those guys were the same
type of guys, and so they built the millionaires. The
next group built the billionaires. We'll see very shortly with
with AI and that we'll see trillionaires.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
That's funny you mentioned an Intel. I bought some of
the some Intel before they the government took a role
in their company. But I've sold everything now. But yeah,
before the market rolled over, I liquidated everything. I was like,
I'm done. But I guess, I guess I want to
I have a question, what would you say, uh, on

(42:23):
the other side of the spectrum, when there's companies that
are monopolies that that control everything, So like even even
with housing, those big companies that buy all the single
family homes and they can, so it's the same thing.
They control the supplying demand, they control it, and they
jack those prices up, they damage how how hard it is,
they make it hard to buy it home. So I

(42:43):
guess on that side, how would you say government intervention
with that?

Speaker 2 (42:46):
So to me, there there's there's two two ways to
look at it. There is there is monopolies like Microsoft
who have created the best the the best platform with
the best Internet server, and they they were creating two
really great products that nobody else had, you know, nobody

(43:07):
else had anywhere close to as good of as and
they got broken up as a monopoly because they controlled
too much market share, not on the fact of that
that they were, you know when when they created the
monopoly laws. The monopoly laws were created to curtail adversarial

(43:31):
business product practices. Like Rockefeller was a jerk and a half,
like a Christian jerk, but a jerk and a half
he was. He was out there buying up oil companies.
And the way he did it was he cut off
their train supply because he bought the trains.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah, And he was and he would lower his oil
costs or his oil prices way below these small oil
companies in their area and start selling to their places.
And so when their money their cash flow dried up,
he would buy them on pennies to the dollar, right
and so and and it didn't cost him that much

(44:12):
to drop his price to be able to buy, you know,
to do hostile takeovers, like if they were traded funded wise,
he would just buy out to count all the shares
of stock. And I think that that's that's part of
you know, you know, because that's what that you you
you do some trading on the stock market, is that

(44:34):
if you buy over fifty percent of the stock in
shares of a company, you own the company, and we
you know, we as regular folks, but as we can
say that we buy such small amounts of stuff stock
that we're never going to get close to that. But

(44:55):
when you you know, when you're dealing in monopolies and stuff,
if your adversarial, the government can step in. But if
you're just the best product, then the government shouldn't step in.
Like that monopoly, it'll stand for a while, but at
some point, like you're not going to innovate when there's

(45:18):
nothing more to innovate, somebody else is gonna come behind
you and innovate your whole thing. This is you know,
it's it's it's like washers and dryers or whatever. You know,
when you're the best, when you're Maytag or whoever, then
you you don't see that there's something, some other problem
to fix, and somebody will come underneath you, like LG

(45:41):
or something, and now they add Wi Fi to your
to your washer, and now you've lost this much. You know,
Whirlpool used to have it was some place crazy like
eighty five percent of the market share because they owned
a manna. They owned Whirlpool and I because I used
to sell them, I know a little bit about you know,

(46:02):
their their appliance deal and so and they you and
they bought out Maytag at one point, and so they
were they literally had eighty five percent of the market share.
Well now today because there's LG, there's whoever Chinese brand,
they've raised the prices. They only last for three to
five years, you know, all of these things. Now they

(46:23):
only carry about forty eight percent of the market share.
And at one time they could have been considered a monopoly.
But because they weren't adversarial in I mean one hundred
percent of adversaria, they were buying out other companies like Maytag.
In that and you can say, you know that that's
adversarial because they're they're taking over all of their their competition,

(46:47):
But in that they were allowed to let the market
actually correct it. And yes, appliance this are super expensive
still for no apparent reason, because you back in the
forty and fifties sixties, you could buy a refrigerator for
a couple hundred bucks. Yeah right, you know if that

(47:08):
and they would last twenty to thirty years. Now because
they literally told it, you know, as as salespeople. They
literally told us, you know, like these things aren't going
to last for twenty years or ten years. Yeah, you know,
sell the warranty, sell them whatever they're gonna last. Like
they're built to only last five to ten years. I mean,
look at the plastic in your you know, in your refrigerator.

(47:31):
You're going to realize it's not you know, they got
little LEDs that you would buy at you know, off
of Timu or something like that, you know, wish dot
com and uh yeah, you know you're you're that's what
they're lighting your refrigerator with. Now they used to light
it with an actual light bulb that you screwed into
a socket and whatever. Yeah, and now it's just an

(47:53):
LED that they probably costs a penny to make.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Yeah, keep you coming back, right, yeah, I mean and
with that example you gave with Microsoft, I think the
difference is Microsoft, Like, there are so many tech companies
out there that just keep popping off. So even I
don't even though Microsoft is the biggest, I don't know
if that would necessarily take away from opportunity for other

(48:19):
What I.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Did they got, they actually got, they got shut. They
got hit with a monopoly aall suit back in the
early two thousands.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah, and it was because that they had it was
Microsoft operating system Windows, and on every operating system they
they put their web browser on it, and so their
web browser was the best web browser there was at
that point. There wasn't anybody else out there making a

(48:48):
web browser that, for one, was any good. Yeah, and
so because of that, a couple of companies that were
making web browsers that didn't weren't as good went on
and said, well, we can't get any market share because
they automatically put their web browser on all of these

(49:09):
operating systems. Obviously it makes sense that they do that,
but they're also building market share into two different areas,
you know, two different sectors of the tech market. And
so they had somewhere around ninety or ninety five percent
of the market share. But there wasn't anybody else out

(49:32):
there really creating something better, and instead of focusing on
creating something better, there was more intuitive that you know whatever,
they focused on the law that they could get them
for you know, what they considered adversarial marketing practices by
making people have that product.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Yeah, I think that's I mean, back then, there wasn't
nearly as much advancements in technology. But I don't I
don't know if I would, if I would agree with
the other companies going after I mean, even now, like
with Nvidia and a MD, it's whoever comes out with
the best chip, whoever comes out with it or the
best chip. That's that's who's gonna go up.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
And that's how it should be. It's not always that.
Because you look at Jet Blue and Spirit, they were
just going to merge together, and because that they held
too much market share in one in certain areas. If
they merged together, there were there were areas that they
would be the only option they could control the price. Yeah,

(50:35):
and so instead of letting the two weak companies, they
were going to come together and make a stronger company
flourish and thrive. And you know, you kind of give
it up to chance that another company is going to
come in and help correct the market price, because here's

(50:56):
the deal. Companies know that. It like if they came
in and they raised their price, Say they were in
White Planes New York, and they in the price they
they they were the only two airlines flying in and
out of or they were the two lower airlines flying
out of White Planes New York and they raised their

(51:19):
rates for another place is going to come in and say, hey,
we can do that for less than forty you know,
and they're going to come in and take their market
share because they're no longer a low price airline air carrier.
And we've seen that. We've seen the even here in Dayton,
we've seen low priced air carriers come in. And it

(51:40):
could because we don't have a major following from Jet
Blue or from you know, Spirit Airlines and things like that.
We're not a major hub for them, and so we've
seen those things, you know, happen.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
But this is where we talked about with monopolies. Give
the government whatever whatever power we want. And now your
company can only get so big. You're now controlled on
on what kind of market share you can get. And
and here and here's the saddest part about it, And
this is the mindset I can see, is that if
my company can only be so good, why would I

(52:20):
make it better? Why would I create it to be
even better? You know, if I already if I already
make a decent mattress, and I make enough money for myself,
why innovate the mattress to make it better, like to
make you know, why why anything? You know, why make
your life better if I don't have to if I

(52:41):
don't have to work harder here, you know, as sad
as that is and that you know that seat, but
but that's honestly the mindset we have it in It
is why put more money into the research and development.
It's why, and it's part of why our infrastructure as
a country is way behind Korea, way behind you know,

(53:01):
some of these other countries. It's partially be because of that.
Partially it's because Korea is about the size of you know,
Massachusetts or something like that, or you know, I don't
I didn't look it up, so I don't know exactly.
I would say Pennsylvania, Massachusetts kind of the the size.
It's not quite as big as Georgia or something, I

(53:21):
don't think.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
But but.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
That's you know, and we have thousands and thousands of
miles to traverse with mountains and things like that too,
to uh, to get our infrastructure better. But that's that's
that's part of the reason why is because we've we've
settled for it. When we just literally got rid of

(53:46):
dial up last week, like when like October first was
the last day you could you could have AOL dial up.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they kicked Audia will dial
up in in uh, you know Korea and Vietnam like
years ago.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Yeah right, yeah, no, that's that. It's it's tough, it's
a tough thing to navigate just to control this stuff.
But I think I think it should be an incentive
to two new businesses too, like strive to take because
I mean if iPhone makes it five thousand dollars a phone,

(54:25):
at some point a company is going to come in
and say I can do this exact same thing for them.
I mean that's and that's what Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
That's what you even said.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
The country is to provide freedom. Yeah, and so if
you don't provide a even playing field for everyone, and
the only even playing field is to wipe out the
playing field. Yeah, Like it's clear for everybody, Like there's
no handouts, there's no hand ups, there's no you know,
unless it comes from someone in in the the free market.

(54:57):
That's that's the only way you have a free market
is by having a a level playing for you. Nobody
gets Nobody gets it because they were born in blah
blah blah for sure. And and so that's that's the
that's the thing. That's why I said, even with safety,
if the government can provide safety and provides you that

(55:20):
that that safety, then everything else is is is there
for you. Like even if even if a company were
to say they were like like, most people don't understand
or haven't seen this because the tech is everything. But
GE is still one of the world's biggest companies because

(55:42):
they have they have they have a billion patents, They
have a million patents on everything. And because they are
they have their hands and everything and everything from circuit
boards to the fan that you you know, you buy,
the t you know, circuits in in in the projectors

(56:03):
and TVs and all of that. They create everything a
little bit of everything.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
And so.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
They're still I mean, like at one point they were
the biggest company in the world. Now I think Microsoft
is like per capita, wal Mart is up there. But
GE is still in the top ten every year. And
they you don't you don't see anything with GE on
it anymore. But they also they the electric the big

(56:33):
electric capacitors and stuff like that that you see on
the giant poles and stuff. They create those, you know,
they they create the wire that you you know, it's
kind of Geo g slid a little when Radio Shack
went out, you know, all of those little tiny little
things that they that Radio Shack had g made a
lot of those or had patents for a lot of those,

(56:56):
and so in that you know, they because you know
they could they could become a controlling factor in a
lot of different markets. You know, because for one, you
can take that money that you've got from all of
these markets, pull it together and put it into one market.
And if you do that, you know, if we're in

(57:20):
a fully free society, in a fully free marketplace. The
the real thought about it is is that if you
do that, you lose market shared somewhere else. Yeah, and
the government doesn't allow that because they control who drops here,
who drops that, you know. So, like you said, GM

(57:45):
loses their market share in cars or trucks or whatever,
and they have to make get smaller than all of
these other companies, all these other little startup companies. There's
one in Detroit right now. On following that, this guy
basically took over a Ford plant and he's literally just

(58:05):
making a truck and he's gonna call it the rebel
or something like that. And he's literally just got rooms,
and he's bought paint, and he's bought truck parts and
he's bought and he's just going to start creating trucks
and putting them out.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
It's American right, that that's and that's.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
The free market deal. And that guy gets the following
of you know, how many of a million people that
start buying his trucks, then he has market you know,
market share, and he can start building his market share
beyond and then you know, if people like his his
his quality, he can decide whether he wants to go
public or he can stay private, or he can you know,

(58:45):
and and that's how he you know, that's how you decide.
And that's how the free market decides who's the best
and who's not. And so us as government, you know,
people as government officials saying oh, they're too big to
fail is part of the problem, right, because no one's
really too big to fail. And you know, honestly, the

(59:08):
Bible shows that, right, you know that no one really
is beyond reproach. Just the fact that you don't see
it because you know, you don't see it.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Yeah, for sure, so it is.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
I mean, it's it's a long conversation with government.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
For yeah, I definitely have I and for me, I
definitely have some things I want to refine and that
understanding even of capitalism and all of those things, especially
as I get older, I want to have like a
firm understanding of where I'm at on those things.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
And I think that as a as a country or
as a as a society, in schools, we haven't taught
exactly what capitalism is. Oh no, all taught exactly what
a republic is as opposed to a democracy, as opposed
to you know, all of that. You know that that

(01:00:05):
we're not really a democracy. We're representative republic and things
have you know. And the way and the way that
those things, those two things are different is that if
we were a straight democracy, then you or I would
have the power to really actually vote, you know, and
what our votes would show is whoever was in office.

(01:00:30):
Where with a representative democracy, you know, we vote, but
those votes for president they don't really matter because although
he you know, although President Trump won with a sweeping
majority of just a sweeping majority of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
The the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Electoral votes, he didn't win with a ton like it
was like two or three, but that's fifty two instead
of like seventy percent of the electoral boats that he
really won with. Yeah, you know, and so there's there's
just a little there's just little differences like that that
you think, you know, what is what really is the difference?

(01:01:18):
But but it is there are there, There is differences.
There is there. It is a it is a different beast,
and there is different different levels of of what we
actually control and what we don't. But they don't tell
us that, especially when we're growing up and going to
sort yeah, that we're not really one hundred percent in

(01:01:38):
control all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Yeah, No, we definitely aren't. Aren't even close to one
hundred percent. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
So yeah, I mean, and and really you're in a
good spot. I mean, especially with your mindset of of
like that, you know, the saying, you know, there's more
stuff I want to you know, and I'm in the
same way, there's more stuff. I just you know, I
honest slip fight everything. You know, nothing's written in pen
because it can all come down in pencil, you know,
it can all be erased one day. And you know, honestly,

(01:02:11):
the only things that are are are really written in
pen are the things that are reading in the Bible.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Yeah, and even with that stuff, you got to be
a faithful, faithful skeptic.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
And that's it. Yeah. And some of some of it
is because you're going to you're going to have a
different understanding at different times, and and and then some
of it's like you know, like like we've talked about,
you know, if you believe in the God with your
whole heart, you know John three sixteen, you you you

(01:02:41):
believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins,
with your whole heart till the day you die, you're
going to heaven.

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
And that's that's honestly. If the Bible changed, if somebody
changed the Bible tomorrow, or some preacher came out and
said that's not the way you get to heaven. I
don't think I'm stopping and saying I'm not giving that
person the time of day that's written in penn. Yeah,
that is that is it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Yeah. No, I definitely think there are things that I
don't know. The only reason I think you I think
we as believers have to be careful was like because
because I'm about to take a World Religions class or
a Western religions in Studaism, Islam, and Christianity, but like,
how could I ever And people say why would you

(01:03:26):
learn about that stuff? Like or aren't you worried you might? No,
I'm not worried. I have a faith in what I believe.
But at the same time, how can I go up
to a Muslim person and be like, you need to
change your beliefs and come to Christianity. But I don't
know a single thing about what you believe. I can't.
I can't tell you anything.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
That's what we do a lot. Like even Allison was
in she was working for the for the local parks department,
and they were doing they I don't know they were
they were doing some conference and they one of the
ladies started talking about population control and Alison's like, no,
this is like one hundred percent this is murder yea

(01:04:05):
or no, you know you're talking about killing babies and
killing people because they don't fit into the population numbers
that you think are acceptable to keep ozone layers down,
and like this is the level of like even and
then and this is just like a this is a
county you know, parks department going to a conference with

(01:04:29):
other county parks departments and uh and and Alan and
and she stands up for stuff like she is. She
is as strong of a person as as I've ever seen.
And so she got an argument with the person and
the person didn't have anything to say. But you need
to change your beliefs. Well you think Allison's like, noh, okay, yeah,

(01:04:55):
belief Yeah that that that yeah, that did it?

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Yea, my beliefs. You're right, Yeah, it's a good example. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
So but we go to so many people like that,
you know, like and and and and we you know,
we believe that the Holy Spirit draws you and you
have you know, if you're not drawn by the Holy Spirit,
and honestly that that, you know, enticing words of men's
wisdom don't don't get you saved, you know, but it
does help you, help help you portray Christianity to other people.

(01:05:29):
You know, having wisdom and having words of wisdom and
the ability to speak what God has for you to
help helps you with tongue, you know, just not you know,
just educating yourself. It's like, you know, I like it
when when some people get drunk, they then like become
philosophical and will you know, then they want to talk

(01:05:52):
to the talk Bible with you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I had a brother in law of it, you know,
and gets.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
To the wind and then he would talk the Bible
to you and you're like, dude, you're swimming in a pool.
It's April and you're in the pool talking. You know,
now you want to talk about Galatians or whatever? You
read the others thing?

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Right, It opens It does open people up. And I've
seen that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Yeah, so but yeah, so definitely, and definitely we'll we'll
definitely talk about you know, your class and stuff and
what you're what you're hearing about, because that's interesting things.
That definitely helps push the narrative out there to to
just learn for sure, continue learning, you know, like God,
like Jesus didn't ever like he didn't ever stop teaching,

(01:06:40):
like he talked up until like he's on the cross
going forgive him father, and like that's one of the
things that we're sitting we're sitting here going, how do
you you know we're still learning from that?

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
To right? We use that all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Yeah, I definitely think that that is that's an important
important step in being a human being, let alone being
a Chritian.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
To continue on with that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
So so yeah, the nobody trusts the government.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
I guess now I.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Finally people are seeing that it's too big, and I
and I think and then and this is the point
that I even made in.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
The beginning of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Trump's president, who right, but you can't follow him blindly, No.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
And i' that's one of the things that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
To do that you go whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's
not our that's not our beliefs, or that's not our
that's not what we wanted. And you and you can
see even in even in the victory that was overturning
rovers wait, you can see that there are places in

(01:07:56):
the US that have more abortions than they did before.
And you can see that there are places that have less.
And that's where that's where you get it is that
you know, you get out of it, You get the government,

(01:08:17):
you get the federal government out of our way. And
some of us will actually do the right thing. Some
will still do the wrong thing, and there will be
groups of those people. But you if you do it
the right way, then you don't have to live with
those people. You know, as sad as it, you know,
we can be separate from them. We can we can,
we can push away and be separate. And you know,

(01:08:41):
at that same point, we're still we're still supposed to
live with them, and we're still supposed to continue to
to give them the Gospel and give them their options
and chances. But you know, otherwise I would probably be
somewhere in Montana living on a property.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
By myself, and just like say, live in the Apps.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
I'm out. You can, you can do whatever with what
you want, you know, but you know, I continue to
see that I cannot be mission. I am not a
a an island on my own.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
I have to you know, affect the people around me absolutely.
So we've we've i mean.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
And and and and addding into that. And this is
just like one little segue off is you know, the
continued Israel stuff. Like I watched that with kind of
a bated breath because I'm like, this is literally what
the Bible is saying, Like when you hear peace on earth,
when they're free, when they're when when you're hearing peace

(01:09:53):
preached everywhere, then you know that it's it's the time.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
And other than I saw that, what was it Afghanistan
attacked Pakistan or something like that, or you know, took
out you know, the Taliban took over twenty five you know,
cities or strongholds or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
In It's like.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Everyone else though, is talking piece kits are they're you know,
they're going you know, there was we were we were
supposed to boycott the the World Cup because of their
human rights violations and all of that. And they, you know,
they're the one, you know, they're ones where like you

(01:10:41):
really helped us out on this Israel deal. So great,
great job. You're so an awesome. You know, we haven't
heard anything from Iraq for a while. Yeah, we're just
you know, the euphrates is dried up.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Yeah, no, it's it's crazy. It's funny you mentioned that.
I was watching Trump give the press conference with men
Yahoo the other day. I think it was yesterday, it
was yesterday, Yeah, and he and he said that he
was elected by world officials that he got together with
to be like the leader of this peace organization, Like

(01:11:17):
they wanted to get together and they wanted to create
a world peace thing, and they they all voted Trump
is the head of that. And that's crazy. And I
and I I couldn't be so bold to say Trump's
the anti Christ. But I'm also not bold enough to
say that he's he's not not sure sure, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
And and and there will be those and it says
there will be those that usher in, yeah, you know,
the Antichrist, and and and honestly, that's why, that's why
we that's why ask Christians as as just freethinking people,
we have to look at it and go, like anyone
that steps up to take over all world power. Yeah, yeah,

(01:11:58):
Like I watched Star Wars, I saw the Republic go down.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
I know what.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
I know that, you know, I've read you know, revelations.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
I know that you know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
And and at the same time, in the end of it,
you know what happens. You know, you know, we have
the victory. It's just living it out and trying to
live through the tough times at the end, right, you
know that is the scariest part about it, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Yeah. I think with Israel too. I and we didn't
get a chance to talk to the talk about this before.
But like the most of the Republican Party, which is
known as the Christian Party, most of the time, it's
it's been back Israel, push forth Israel for as long
as I've ever remembered. But like I look at Mint

(01:12:46):
and Yahoo, and I don't know if I see a
man that I full support, I really don't. And then
I look at I look at Israel as a Christian
and I think, I think we need to set break.
And this is the thing that I was talking about
with indoctrination. Israel is not the state of Israel now,

(01:13:08):
is not what it was in Old Testament. Jesus had
not come. All of Israel is anti Christ, against Christ.
It is not for Christ. It does not support us.
They do not agree with us. They do not think
the world ends the same in any capacity. So why
is there that understanding that, okay Israel, yes, like we're

(01:13:29):
gonna pushes or we're gonna support Israel. And I can't
even I can't even think about a reason of why
as a Christian other than the fact because if someone
asked me about the Israel issues before, maybe let's say
a year ago, do we support Israel? I would defend Israel.
I don't know why I would defend it. I couldn't
tell you. I couldn't now why people do it other

(01:13:50):
than the fact of all Israel's in the Bible and
Israel was the king and whatever who was a person
that lived, and he's in the Bible. That's it, right,
were chosen people? I don't. I don't think they are
the chosen people anymore. I don't. I think that chosen

(01:14:10):
people was extended to the Gentiles when Jesus came. And
we know that it's said that this gospel is not
for you Jews alone, that this is not just for
you guys. Paul writes about that it was extended to
the Gentiles. It's for all of us. We are the
chosen people. So for me to not come from the
hair thatge doesn't mean I it would go against it

(01:14:31):
would contradict a lot of our understanding of as Christianity.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
I think, and and and this is just this is
just my thought as you were just saying that, and this,
you know, could be wrong or whatever. And I've always
and then this is also coming from me saying months
years ago, the anti semit Semitism, the laws of anti
Semiti Semitism are racist. Yeah, you know they they they're

(01:14:58):
not free. It's not free free speech. It's it's all
free speech except for if you speak against Jews. And
that's and that's whatever. It's just that when you start
to make those laws. First we made an anti Semitic laws.
You can you can say anything you want in public,
except for things against Jewish people. Then it became hate laws.

(01:15:22):
When I was in height in fifth or sixth grade,
there was a gay kid that was hung against the
fence and beaten and left there, and so they can
they created that as a hate crime. And in that
hate crime bill, they created hate speech. And so now

(01:15:43):
anything that's considered hate speech, and and this is and
it's all about in the very beginning part of it,
it's about trying to help people, like let's let's make
sure that people who are are are lower are feel
bad about themselves, and people who are minorities, people who

(01:16:04):
don't have as much opportunity because they're you know, their color,
their skin or whatever. Let's make sure that they they
are protected. You know, back in when they started the
anti Semitic laws, you know, we decimated the Jews in
World War Two. Let's make sure that they have a

(01:16:29):
chance to recover without us continuing on with Nazism or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
And so.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
So with that, you know, it's like, you know, if
we talk about about it, Israel, which is not like
you said, Israel was a person. It was a chosen people.
It is not the tree that you know, you can't

(01:17:02):
say that all of those people in Israel are Jewish,
so they're not. They do not embody the full protection
of God of being the chosen people. And as you said,
if you you know, when you go into the New Testament,
the chosen people have become all of us who have

(01:17:23):
chosen Christ. And so it's not just you know, at
one point it was because you were born into this
group and you followed God through the Torah and all
of that, you were the chosen people.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
But that was it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
That was then, and God has, because he is a
just and all loving God, has given us all that favor.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
And so.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
You know when we just blindly follow them, you know,
Israel is a cool country, like they are going to
get stuff done. Like I've always said, as a warring nation,
you don't war against Israel because if you war against Israel,
you will they will leave. They are leaving it all
on the battlefield like they like back when. You know,

(01:18:17):
when it was when I was a kid growing up,
it was you always saw Israel came in with a
tank and blew up there, like the whole building and
then the Palestinians were the guys that were running up
to the tank throwing rocks at it. And I'm I
was always, I literally always was like, stop blowing up,
stop blowing up buildings, and you take away all of

(01:18:38):
Palestine's zammo because all they have is rocks. They're only
ever throwing rocks at you, and like, just you stop
stop blowing up their stuff and they won't have anything
to throw at you or hurt you, you know. But
but at the same point, Israel was that, you know,

(01:19:00):
and honestly, the way they've taken out Iran, you know,
like there was the one night they shot a from
a from a building on the other side, they shot
a low level missile, blew up the top of the building,
killed the two guys that they needed to kill, left
the bottom of the building and everything else intact. The

(01:19:22):
other night when they had the drone strike that they
basically fired missiles from drones into certain buildings, blowing up
the seven or twelve different leaders and just hit the
point like they are like and those weren't just like
they shot it into the building, they shot it through
three walls into the bedroom, killing the guy instantly.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Yeah, no, I it's it's insane. I think I really
think the wars is with two evils. And this might
be propaganda, but you hear about well Israel blew up
the last Catholic church in Palestine whatever, all that suff
I'd be propaganda, but I really think it to two evils,
And like this isn't This is where you have to

(01:20:05):
be careful because there's a lot of popular opinions here,
but even going back to World War Two, even going
back to all of that stuff like who who owns
the companies in America, Like who's who's behind the scenes here?
Trump Trump received the most funding compared to past presidents
from Israel than other and that's just a fact.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
So the Jewish population leaders, and I look at.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
Even World War two? What was World War two really
fought over? Because history you've heard this before. I'm sure
history is wrote by about who won, wrote by who won,
by who won.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
That's why even if you've been in the South during
Civil War like you, and you learned Civil Civil War history,
like you grew up in a lot in Georgia and
in Kentucky, and Kentucky's a northern state, but at the
same time, it still holds a lot of Southern you.
But if you if you learn it, if you learn
it down there, it wasn't about slavery as much as

(01:21:08):
completely changing their way of life without any kind of representation,
without giving them the vote to keep the life the
way that they wanted. And slavery is terrible. And I'm
not like, for sure, let's keep slavery or anything like that.
But we didn't learn any of that in the North. No,
Like I didn't learn any of that in Ohio. Here

(01:21:28):
I learned that slavery was bad, and that was the
only thing that Lincoln killed, slavery, and then they killed
him for it. And really, like, if you start to
really get into the history of it, you know there
was a lot more going on than just some slavery
going on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
That's really interesting. You say that because you look at gosh,
it's so crazy because Hitler, like you cannot say Hitler
as they're paying any kind of picture of him as
a different man than what the media and what were
we know him to be. Hitler was evil and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
With even you saying Hitler, if we put that, if
we put that slice of of you just saying that
we're are are our video get banned.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Yeah, it's it's insane. Yeah, but you look at, okay,
how many Jews were in Germany.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
There's that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
So so that's just one thing. You look at the
pact that was signed before the war started between Israel
and between Germany. And you look at even they they
have Hitler's speeches out there now that you can listen
to him in English. That's never been a thing before.
They suppressed that. Why they suppress that. Hitler's talking about

(01:22:42):
their their indoctrinating our kids. They're taking over the classroom,
they're taking over all of this. Hitler's ideology when it
came to the Assyrian race, I think it's Assyrian right
was wrong. He obviously had something he was, but he
had a he had a reason. They're taking over Germany,
they're taking over our beliefs, our values, what we stand

(01:23:03):
for and there, and they've done it in America. I
really believe they've done the same thing. They've infiltrated. And
that's the number one thing that Hitler ran off of
was defending Germany nationalism. Again, not defending Hitler.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
And like you said, you can like history is written
by who won, and we you know, we've we've written
that history and we've said that this is why and
and you can and you can tell that it's it
can't be one hundred percent because Hitler, for one, wasn't blonde.
He didn't have blue lights. Like like what I think
about yea, Like if they're telling you that your car

(01:23:42):
is a truck and you know it's a car and
it's not a truck.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
You know, yeah, No, you can't say that. There's not
things that look off when and you and you can't
say that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
Now where where I where I draw the line is
is saying that you know, the the death can't didn't
happen or which wasn't real, Like I've.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Seen photos from Auschwitz. It it's terrible, like it was real.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Yeah, and then things like that were like I just
just with traveling the country and buying antiques and collectibles
and just seeing people's stuff from World War Two.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
Yeah there was something going on, right, No, there were
people were people killed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Yeah, you know, wool you know, it's just like it's
like again bringing it back to the Civil War just
because we just did you know, thousands and thousands of
people were killed.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
On that's about to say how many wars are fought
were no one's killed, right, and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
You know, so you you know there is there is
that there was a genocide going on. There were people
being killed just because of the color of their skin,
their whatever, their race and things like that. To what number,
to what size to it you know, I mean I've.

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
Seen the photos of bodies stacked. Yeah, but even like
twenty and thirty high women and women and children, even
with like Japan when we dropped Hiro at Fima and
Nagasaki that's wiped out. We did this make to make
a statement, right, like those are innocent women and children
that were just demolished. And what said is is and

(01:25:13):
that's controversial, it really is. It is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
And what's sad is is that people in an office
thousands and thousands of miles away made a decision that
it was better off for those two bombs to go
off than to continue fighting the war. Yeah, the less
people would be killed if we could stop the war
with those two bombs. They killed thousands of innocent people.

(01:25:39):
Like it wasn't it wasn't a military strike. Yeah, it
was a strike of don't statement. Yeah, it was a
statement strike for sure. And and that's what's sad about
or what's scary about these times that we're starting to
live in is that wars won't be fought.

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
On the battlefield.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
There isn't there isn't gonna be a ton of of
you know, there's there's never gonna be another lineup of
my my battalion troops to get across the field from
your battalion troops firing guns because it's you know, because
at that point, we had a a a a mindset

(01:26:21):
that this was how you fight wars because it was personal,
like we were fighting a war because we were personally
upset with you guys, or we were personally fighting you.
Now we fight wars on idealism and idealism fighting fighting
on idealism. You don't. I'm like, I could be in

(01:26:41):
an office here running a drone to your house and
blowing you up, and it looks to me, my ideals
say that you're you're a video game tree. You know,
you're you're number that is acceptable to be lost. And
so I think that that's where's that's where things really

(01:27:01):
get scary, you know in this time, is that you know,
And that's why we always say, we go back to
the beginning, the government is too big, because it really
shouldn't be dealing with you at all. Your federal government
sees you as a number. You are one of the
three hundred and whatever million people in the in the country.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
Yeah, and they are.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
They are in charge to keep you alive. And now
they're in charge to keep you in line. And they're
also in charge to keep you healthy or at least alive,
you know, with the Obama Care and stuff like that.
And then what else are we going to keep you know,
give that, you know, give them the power over us

(01:27:48):
to be you know, now we have to wear seat belts,
and as silly as were wearing seat belts is you know,
it's just the start of a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
Yeah, no, it's all, it's all getting ready for it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Then you can't smoke in your car. You have to
wear a mask in your car because of COVID. You
can't give your car COVID. You know that whole thing.
Oh gosh, I can't believe I still see people driving
in a car by themselves. I just dude, who are
you giving COVID to guys? Like keeping COVID down that

(01:28:22):
at the house shower shower.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
With that on.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Since sane, keep yourself, give yourself COVID free.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
But but like, that's what fear does. That's a strong fears.
They're afraid for their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Gosh, that's what happens when you don't have faith anything
that faith into.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
That's it. When you don't believe in yourself as much
as you don't believe in anything else, right, you know,
there's there's no foundation for your belief.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Right, So.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Let's let's let's slide move it off to I think
I think we'll actually, you know, we'll we'll meet up
again later on here and and we'll talk about the
Charlie Kirk stuff. I thin we're gonna slide away from that,
and just because we want to get I want to
give it it's due. There are a lot of conspiracy
theories coming out and and things like that that I

(01:29:11):
want to just I want to explore on an open
minded basis. And so that's why I like I joke
about I'm an even opportunity, like an equal opportunity, you know,
conspiracy theorist. I'll listen to whatever you have to say,
and then I'll make the decision that I that I
feel is the strongest. Like Kennedy, you know, he didn't

(01:29:32):
get killed by one dude. You know that magic bullet.
There is no such thing as magic. You know, it's
it's it's God or it's you know, evil things happening here.
And so there's no way that you know that magic
bullet just you know, the magic bullet was was real.

(01:29:53):
Like there's three bullets in it that came through him,
you know, at least, and they and you can you
can plot the horse from where they came. You know,
it's not that hard to say, well, this guy was
over here. This guy got caught because he was on
the grassy knoll. This guy was a sniper from over here,
and this was a real job. And I think you
can see some of that in in the Charlie Kirk stuff.

(01:30:15):
Definitely about the one old guy that shouted in the
crowd I killed Charlie Kirk to help out, Like that's
not a random like you don't just you're you're not
that much of an idiot or that much of of
a zelot. I mean, they're just against Charlie Kirk that
you would say, oh, he was the one who did

(01:30:37):
it right on a whim. So there there there is
a bunch into that, and I think I think, honestly,
we need to bring Jay into it also and just
see what we can get and see where we go.
So I think I think, honestly, we're just gonna slide
that out today because we're at about an hour and

(01:30:57):
a half on it, and we're just you know, we
got some other funny, some other good articles that are enjoyable,
that work. We gotta, you know, so we're gonna do that.
So in Alaska, they have a contest every year and
we've we've joined in the last year or two here

(01:31:18):
and this is just a it's a fun contest that
helps provide money and awareness for the the Bears. And
so basically they have a fat Bear contest every year.
This year was it was two weeks ago. This is
what is today, the tenth fourteenth. Yeah, two weeks ago

(01:31:40):
exactly September twenty third to the September thirtieth.

Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
I saw it was coming up. I haven't made a
podcast since, so this is the first time I've had
a chance to talk about it. And you know, just
it's the fat Bears they have. They basically are raising
money for the Bears.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
That hibernate towards the end of the year and they're
just raising awareness so that they can keep the habitat
well they keep money funded into the parks and and
all that kind of stuff. So they had this year,
they had a junior fat Bear, which were the younger bears,

(01:32:18):
and so they had the finals between a female cub
which was it was number like it was twenty six
is oh, twenty six cub and one eight year ling
and one twenty eighth yearling definitely destroyed twenty six is

(01:32:38):
female cub twenty thousand votes to ten thousand votes roughly plus.
So but if you look through like go to the
page it's at it's the I don't even have explore

(01:32:58):
its fat bear, fat bear, fat hyphen bear, hyphen weak.
But I think if you go to explore dot org
you can get it or you can google search fat
bear week and they it's everywhere. But this year's winner
was Chunks. He is he yeah, he's and I've seen

(01:33:19):
him before like in the like last year. I think
he got second or like he was in the finals somewhere,
like he was either in the quarterfinals or semi finals,
which makes sense because that's a lot of finals there.
That's like eight, eight or ten bears. But Anyhow, he
was in the top five or so Bears last year.
I think I don't think he won. I think one

(01:33:40):
twenty eight one last year if I remember correctly. But yeah,
there's you know, if there's a there's a bracket and
you can download that and put it on your wall
and remember the Bears. Give the Bears some love. But yeah,
they voted on just basically, I mean, what else do
you do they got that? What what's the one they have?

(01:34:03):
The situational website. Now that's you. You you bet on
just about anything. I'm not going to mention the website
so that you don't go making a problem of betting,
but continue the betting. But you can bet on whether
Charlie Kirk said or no it was mister beast.

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
What he said. Yeah you can.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
There's like four different options and then you get a
certain amount of money based off of how you know,
if he says it like subscribe was one of them.
I saw it. I keep seeing this guy that says,
I'm doing something crazy. I'm betting one hundred dollars a
day for the rest of my life on on yeah,

(01:34:45):
just on something, and so he is like he's like,
I'm up he's like, up eleven thousand dollars. He's like,
but he's down for the month he's met he you know,
he messes he's on a run, like on a week
long run of bad, bad bets, and he needed a win.
So he bet on whether mister Beast would say subscribe. Wow,

(01:35:08):
it's a pretty pretty good bet subscribe. But it took
it took it down to like two seconds left in
the video and mister b says, subscribe and share or
something like that, if you liked our video, subscribe or
something finally, and he won like thirty two bucks off
of one hundred dollars bet, so kind of kind of

(01:35:31):
at the same level. It just, you know, I'm sure
that they had something on there about who was, you know,
betting on who was going to become the fattest bear,
for sure, But it definitely looked like they ate good
this year as because like last year, they still didn't
look like super giant fat so fat bears. All right,

(01:35:53):
So off of the fat Bears, there's another another one.
And I didn't I didn't give you that one to see. Yeah,
I wanted to see what you were gonna say about it.
It was there's a Denver host host in Denver that
is doing a thirty one mile run where the racers
have to consistently consume taco bell and I know they've

(01:36:16):
done this a few years now where it's called this
called like the Taco Bell.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Run or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
And you literally are going around and stopping at different
taco bells around the area and then they have taco
bell stations throughout and you have to literally eat. It
says you have to order something at nine out of
ten taco bells and you've actually got to eat the

(01:36:42):
food that includes one Chaloupa Supreme, one Crunt Trap Supreme
and that's by the fourth stop, and one Burrito Supreme,
and one Nachos.

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
Belgrande by the eighth stop. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
So you can't just order a simple taco each time
and just like slide a taco down. You have to
order some of the bigger things like like the burritos
and and things of that nature too.

Speaker 1 (01:37:10):
No pepti, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
You cannot. Those are banned. There's are are you know,
enhancing substances body body enhancing substances.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
For this race. That would be terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
So if you can get through nine items in thirty
one miles.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
Yeah. No, that's the part i'd be worried about.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Gosh, I mean that's more than a marathon.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
No, yeah, so yeah, so you're joining this one right,
No way, this is one that like you. I mean
you you work out, you do some running, yeah, not
that much running. Have you know?

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
Do you enjoy running?

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
Uh in shorter intervals thirty one miles spinter? Yeah, I'm
quick over like, all right, I'll run a mile or
two maybe, yeah, all right, all right, gosh, it's so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
I told the girls on our soccer team. One of
the girls was just she was trying to get me
to say who was the best player on the team, which, like,
you know, you're just like when you're that age, you
want you want to know who's the best player on
the team. And I said, I'm the best player on
the field, and she goes, you can't even run. I said,
I don't need to run. I can score from here.
I was in the middle line, and so I had

(01:38:29):
to kick a ball in the goal from from the middle. Wow,
it was a short field, so it wasn't too bad.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
But she made it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, definitely put it in. But it was like, listen,
it's either you know, the only two reasons you run,
or running from bears or running to get donuts, and
that's it. That's you know, if it's bullets, you're supposed
to turn around and shoot back.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
Yeah yeah, they No, that's too much for me. That's
too much running. I'm not even I'm just gonna shoot back. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
But yeah, Taco Bell somehow they got to Denver, which
is crazy that it's in Denver, because Denver is known.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
For us like.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
Just like oh, we're just we're gonna eat like random
stuff like bugs and like I eat cricket tacos in Denver, yeah,
you know, or you know, they were just they were
just trying to ban meatpacking in Denver then that they
couldn't have meatpacking butchers in Denver. So, I mean that
was on the vote, that was on the legislative vote

(01:39:34):
this year or last November, that to ban.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
Meat packing industry in Denver.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
So it's weird that. I mean, it's not weird because
it is kind of a pretty stoner society, you know
that Denver is is you know, every other block there's
a there's a a dispensary and things of that nature.
But so I can see I can see the pros
and cons of taco bell.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
Endever, yeah, I know that. Oh my gosh, I don't
think I can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
Give Oh yeah, okay, So talking about kind of what
we were just talking about with the fat Bears and
the whole betting society is we also had an article
that came to my attention that talked about how some
dogs can't stop playing with their toys. And it's similar

(01:40:32):
similar to a gambling addiction that said, dumb, this is
a scientific study that they've done or whatever. For some dogs,
the thrill of the chase doesn't fade and the ball.
When the ball stops, they'll pull at your couch, cushions,

(01:40:53):
skip dinner, wait at the door for more, for one
more throw. It's like a ambling addiction.

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
For your dog.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Do not allow your dog to play with toy. Some
dogs cannot handle dogs the addiction of toy playing. So, yeah,
this is this is where we spend our billions of
dollars in uh science, in science and research for for

(01:41:24):
the country is into weather. The dogs can can weather
the like do we have are we are we are
we serious about this? Are we getting rehab stations?

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
Are we you know this is.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
I mean, honestly, it kind of comes down to the
fact of is this something that like, is this just
a dopamine thing and anything that you can you get
dopamine from it? It can be. This is the honest,
real like real talk about it. Is there really anything

(01:42:01):
that so are we saying that dogs have dopamine also
also and that that's how they you know, and really
in that fact, is it food that does that too?
Is that why they come back to food?

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
Is that why? You know? No, that doesn't put everything
to gambling for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
I mean that's why gambling is an addiction, because what
they're saying that you can get addicted to gambling because
of the dopamine.

Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
But is.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
You know, so you're not really addicted to gambling, you're
addicted to the dopamine rush.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Yeah, I would agree.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Gosh, testing you can. They have a test for it.
Testing for excessive toy motivation in dogs. This is what
we're gonna call it. We're gonna call it teton. Yeah,
testing for excessive toy motivation.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
Don't let your dog t Yeah, get them tested, get
them tested, you use.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
You know, if he if he gets over thirty three,
if the one five in the test, he's classified as
a high tendency for addiction. So oh man, this is
this is definitely a good spot to uh to end it, Jarson,

(01:43:27):
what have you learned today?

Speaker 1 (01:43:30):
So interesting? Thanks? Yeah, learn more about these articles than
the other ones.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
Yeah right, just you know, some of those are your
giving your opinion. These ones you're like, huh yeah, really
follow this?

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
Yeah yeah, I haven't. I haven't spent the time yet
to think about this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
Yeah, I haven't spent this is this is our reactionary times.
So yeah, definitely, you know, get your your your dogs,
Vader Newdard and uh, you know, make sure that they
don't have a gambling addiction, stop addiction to toys.

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
Yeah, that's why cats are better.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
Yeah, they didn't say anything about that. I know they
have self control, self control. Cats you know, land on
their feet. Although it's funny. I saw a video that's
stupid on Instagram about cats landing on their feet and
then they then they show a giant caterpillar excavator falling

(01:44:30):
off a cliff.

Speaker 1 (01:44:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
Oh, cats don't always follow their their feet. So yeah, yeah,
