I my life's pretty good like I am have Everything pretty much figured out like I got three kids into baby mom is in as crazy as that's out pause you don't Right, man, what do I know he might I was actually honestly. I was thinking about I'm like Like I'm getting old like I was doing the math of like because it's so funny when you when you're you're like I could have a kid at 40. It's like the kid is zero at 40. Yeah, yeah when it's 10 you're 50 In my head it just I just realized it's like oh, I don't just I don't have the kids entire life at the age Maybe I'm not having kids, but I know a schooler at 50. Yeah, that's kind of taking so I was literally like who gives a fuck Maybe I'll just fucking find a girl, but anyway, whatever. So maybe you're right. Who am I to know maybe this guy does have figured out keep going all this We're tight we're cool like we get along we co-parent we're cool I also have a girlfriend. I've been with for about a year and a half. I love her to pieces. She's amazing I've just been again. I'm 36 years old and I've just been thinking like I Really really regret so badly not joining the military You want to fucking you want a snipe fisherman and Venezuela and blow up Iranian girls I mean anyway, I'm sure this guy is just kind of having that eldest because this is one of our this is big things He literally wishes he was in the military. Yeah, you're so stupid anyway. Keep going fucking like random and weird, but I Was in my gyro to see when I was in high school like I didn't really take it seriously, but now I'm an old man, and I'm just like Fuck like I want to do something for my country like not even like a weird super conservative way I'm not even gonna pull it up Volunteer The join of the army is maybe the worst thing The reason the world hates us is because since World War 2 We have been the occupying force around the world with good PR They don't fucking like us, and you think you're gonna help America by joining the army that Trump is in control When you join the army now at age of 36 in the age in the year 2026 You're gonna be driving a steamroller to build a data center that's destroying seven or eight Yeah, you're gonna be built you're gonna be building a fucking high rise for Jared Kushner if you join the fucking military You're gonna be a drone pilot for illegal black ops You're gonna be blowing up a 1963 Chevy that they're driving around In fact if you're in the military now, get out Sabatage some of the equipment Throw water on a few servers Really don't do that, but as a joke do that So anyway, but I this dot I'm we're gonna let him finish But this there is something interesting here. Go ahead. I'll just Serve it away. I'm not even political about it. It's just like I would love to have that on my belt Yeah, that's what your soul needs. I mean, I've been doing like a little bit of research I'm sleeping. I'm sleeping too easy I'd love to I'd love for a Rocky teenagers dead face to flash with my eyes. I you know before I went to bed. I don't have any moral injury. I just realized My title is clean. I have no excuse to beat my children When I drink it's rosy I don't know I never have to sit awake at night drinking whiskey telling myself that those kids would have grown up to be terror That's seven-year-old flanksucker would have been there. I was just cutting the grass Helping my country anyway, keep going. I mean, I've been doing like a little bit of research There's like little things that you can do when you're older for like the army Not the Marines obviously. Oh, obviously nothing. I didn't think about looking into it But as I said, I have children I have a family and I'm just kind of think is this a stupid fucking idea? I mean, it's maybe the stupidest I've ever had Like even Elvis saying it he hasn't really believed it, but and he doesn't have fucking kids anyway, go ahead Just continue doing what I'm doing everything's Yeah, okay, that's pretty much it I know what this is right this is this is a great learning experience for you because you're literally This is someone who has fallen for US propaganda. Yeah, so hard. This isn't your fault What you're feeling it's it's really not you feel a malaise, right? Yeah, you feel you feel And look maybe some of this is the fact that you had you have fucking three kids with two different women That you're and you're not dating either one of them. Yeah, I don't know if you feel unfulfilled career wise I don't know if you're like I just didn't see the shit going and from the time we're fucking children We are inundated with the message that the most the most heroic sacrifice anyone can make. Yes, it's joining the army The most the way you help your country is joining the army That's fucking bullshit that they program you with because if anyone in their right mind knew what war was They would never fucking sign up the ways they get you to sign up for the fucking army is a make you so fucking destitute and poor Yeah, they starve so many populations that the only real way out of some of these like, you know Some places in the deep South someplace with incredible poverty in the inner cities You're a legitimately great way out you're taking it to the middle class is the military right and it's fucked up They force you to do that economically or if you're from a middle class background and you're fucking gullible Yeah, they they you know, you see you watch fucking yeah, you watch fucking energy from the office Yeah, be there be yeah Yeah, and your and your whole life you every war movie the Americans are the fucking good guys your officer material young man And and you fall for this fucking bullshit. Yeah, and so I think what this is is a great moment to deprogram yourself and realize like I get feeling like you want to help because our fucking society is crumbling this country is crumbling Why the fuck when you said I want to do something for my country was the first thing you thought about support for people murdering I mean Iran What they're doing in fucking Venezuela, even more you want Pete headsets to be your boss? You want for some drunk and fucking idiot on Fox news to be your fucking boss. Yeah Even at no point other than maybe World War two was it like No, but right now you're literally unless you're you know Sopore and you don't not think about these things to want to join this military. You're you it's like you're evil Yeah, what they're doing now is this Iranian wars illegal. They they're not that they're thinking about invading Cuba They're fucking killing the pretending their narco terrorists. They're just fucking killing people You why was the first thing you thought of support for this the the army if you say you want to help your country You know how you help your country fucking volunteer at a soup kitchen. Yeah, be a teacher Be a fucking teacher. Taking up trash on the highway would be so much more for your country Go to an inner-city Wendy's and work a shift Okay, give fucking yeah get like do a fucking after school program. Yeah, teach kids basic financial skills or something Yeah, the ways to help your country to help your fucking community They have stripped us of community work and again, this isn't your fault You don't have any other options because there's no Yeah, there's no propaganda arm telling you go out beautify your neighborhood Fucking trees. Yeah, like that's why I mean the fucking the FDR shit where they made the like Pio works progress administration or whatever where they were actually Like our country needs so much infrastructure work needs so much fucking like there's so many ways our government could Point Disaffected youth and middle-aged people into helping. Yeah, but the propaganda arm is fucking dialed into the army Because they need that shit. That's what fucking America, you know, I'm it you So this is a good moment to really think about and that's my hunch, right? Yeah, I don't think you want to join the army I think you feel a You feel like you haven't done something you feel like a hole in terms of you feel unfulfilled and you It's a no fault if you're under fallen for the brainwashing that this is the most noble thing you could do Yeah, so much more noble to go fucking volunteer to hospice totally so much more Noble to you know you fucking get a homeless guy a fucking haircut help him with his resume and get him a fucking job Like there is so much more you could do the army is quite literally the worst thing you could do for your country Yeah, I don't even think you care about your country. I think you just feel unfulfilled. Yeah, and I think we all in general need to stop thinking about We we need to start thinking more locally where it's like how about we focus on our neighbor before we focus on the This ambiguous idea of your country. Yeah, you know so on for the July that is actually our I do this should be our fucking breakout clip Actually No joke thinking through this has made me patriotic because that's what I'm proud of I'm proud of the fucking the people I'm around the people I fucking share like my community with that is what makes me proud to be American is that Like, you know, you get people from all fucking walks of life, all different fucking places, and we're all just trying to survive. And people move here to give their family a better life, focus on that part of America. That's fucking beautiful. Don't focus on the part of fucking where we have meddled in every fucking country's affairs for the last fucking 80 fucking years, dude, because we're so scared because by the way, after World War II, where the Nazis go, they went to fucking America. Operation paperclip, bro, so the after the, we're talking about who went with you. The communists didn't have any fucking Nazis move to their countries, bro. We had fucking Nazis come here. So anyway, and this is just a mo, this, this does make patriotic go fucking, you know, help your country on a local level. Don't fucking join the military. It's fun. And we haven't even got the fact that they'll reject you. You have two, you have three fucking kids and a girlfriend that you love. How about, hey, how about make one of these fucking relationships more about that? Yeah. How about going to this guy's kid and then break up with her? Yeah. Exactly. How are going to this guy's kids? How tired of you of listening to Bluey that you're like, let me go kill teenagers. Let me go kill a kid and they're on. Yeah. So that's, I would say, be honest about whether you really feel like you're killing it or not. I think the premise of your question is false. I think you're unsatisfied and I would say, look at the root of those problems instead of trying to find the salve of joining the army, which, you know, eldest knows what it's like. It's a symbolic thing. You want it, you know, for you, it's different for you. You want discipline. For this guy, he wants to do good. That's the worst way you could do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you need to claw your way out of poverty, fine. We're not going to judge you. America pins. You know, they give, they give poor people no good options for this reason. Yeah. And if they don't get you in the army, they'll fucking get you in jail where you have to be literally a slave. Yeah. I mean, the fact that slave labor is essentially allowed in America is fucking insane, but USA, baby, the way we fix it is by not joining the army. Be bit twisted. Keep it twisted. Keep it twisted. Keep it twisted. Dessert. Kill your commanding officer. Keep it twisted. Those estimates, cakes are pretty good for Fourth of July, it's how you met when you had Fourth of July desserts, a nice tray of cookies. Yeah. Ice cream, of course. Ice cream sandwich. The classic ice cream sandwich. Yeah. Black cookie. And that, yeah. You bite it, you get a little paper in your mouth. You've got to have those there. And if I try it, I see the freesy pop. Yeah. Yeah. Look like the firecracker. Spider-man's eyes. Some of those are good too. Yeah. The firecracker ones are phenomenal. Again, it's a big, put, big, cooler, full of fucking a bunch of frozen, accessible trees. Yeah. Where you are smoking a spliff while you're grilling, I'm sucking on a ring pop. A ring pop outside. You know what? Respect.
