Ep 624 - Big Boy (feat. Nate Marshall)

The conversation opens with the hosts joking about pool mishaps, specifically the awkwardness of thin swimsuits "vacuum sealing" and the social anxiety of adjusting in public. They transition to swimming lessons, with one host learning freestyle and finding it exhausting, while another admits to being scared of lake water. The discussion shifts to a tragic story about a fitness influencer who died in Thailand after a psychedelic episode, leading to a debate about ayahuasca. They express skepticism about "shaman" scams and the cult-like nature of repeated use, though they acknowledge potential benefits, like Brian Johnson's research on mushrooms for dementia. One host considers microdosing his father, a former deadhead with early dementia, and plans to play Grateful Dead music during the experience. The hosts then discuss reducing phone screen time, promoting boredom as a healthy mental state and suggesting books, puzzles, or walks as alternatives. They critique police work, noting the toll of shift schedules and a statistic about judges being harsher before lunch. A story about a July 4th parade features politicians giving silent speeches for cameras, which annoys them. They mock "Big Boy," a train that caused over 100 people to pass out from heat, and criticize New York's thermostat limits during a heatwave, highlighting inequality with billionaires like Taylor Swift. They end by discussing a utility company cutting power to Lake Tahoe residents due to data centers and the World Cup, including a controversial red card reversal that they see as American arrogance.

have you can't have the teen that's getting vacuum sealed even even if that day is a moment it's just weird even if i was like presenting that day because it is we're in the austin heat this is the best flaccid dog weather ever i could even been presenting i still don't you don't want the fucking diff flaccid you don't want the diff fucking vacuum sealed in the pool it's just awkward yeah and

being a fucking idiot dick behavior is it little dick behavior i don't know i don't i don't know what these fucking ladies are thinking and i don't want anybody to think it's weirdo behavior because because i feel like i gotta do it every time i get out the pool i know i've been trying to let it ride but i do because every now and again it's not as bad as you think yeah and that's why i'll keep the boxer briefs on under certain bathing suits that don't have the compression because it's like they're so thin if i get vacuum sealed it's just just awkward dude i get nervous to just even check how bad it looks because i feel like once you make eye contact with it you have you notice you're like well i got it i try to hit it underwater as i'm getting out i'll try to then if you let the water in it breaks the seal water rushes i haven't thought of that i don't think about it till i'm out the water i know i'm like 99 of the times i'm just kind of coming out but lately i have been like i'm gonna let it ride i'm gonna let it ride we have fucking foreigners here we got guys in speedos yeah a lot more yeah there's there's a dude in speedos the other day laying on his back just sunning a hog and it's just like bro do you do you but like i i was probably feels nice women being like girls don't even like that dude they don't like that you're being weird and i was like these two ladies and i'm like i was like they don't like that that's gotta just be i gotta ask actually because now i need to know if ladies think that's like because in my mind it looks so goofy it's no way to go that's hot as hell yeah it i honestly though upon if i had my eye on these guys they're gay guys right away i'm like oh duh i was not even worried about late what ladies think weren't even thinking about them they were probably wondering what i was thinking about and i'm like i am actively thinking i'm the only guy in this pool thinking about your dong right now but dude like you think about it like uh we see ladies in bikinis and go oh you know yeah yeah 100 also sunny your dog probably feels sunny your dick is probably like i i don't really outside of like pissing outside during the day like i don't know what sun on my dick feels like it's probably nice but he was but again it was still speedo'd up he didn't have it like hanging out but still that's this much of a layer that's true it was there and it's like a tight layer it's not like when you're in just your your swim trunks was kind of like over you yeah you're not feeling the rays he was definitely feeling the rays on his dog he probably what was swelling it up i was about to say it probably makes it there's a part of me i think it makes it at least a little bigger definitely dude just the warm in the sun and there's a fucking guy swimming in the sun and there's a fucking guy swimming in the sun and there with his kids just constantly checking your penis in the pool he's probably like what the hell's going on it's working it's working my gay trap's working is that sunbird dude checking out my dick it was it was just i was the angle was crazy because he was laying on his back yeah so if you're a pool if you came out of the water you saw the dudes you just saw all you saw was dick you're like wow man what the hell and like the underside of dick the worst yeah it was it was like a crazy angle where i was like bro did you set this up yeah did you lift did you lift it before you laid it was yeah they used that yeah he definitely propped it that's just probably stuff you learn in gay school how to lay out how to just put it up properly we never learned our dads never taught us how to put it up properly petmanship and penis presentation the three p's but yeah that was uh that was the day yesterday just floating swimming getting absolutely cooked i learned i learned about swimming though i did learn about um i learned how to swim properly was it took lessons after my kid my kid got done lessons and i i kind of i asked i was like yeah you know everyone gave an old man some technique lessons dude swimming's like swimming properly so fucking hard yeah what what stroke were they teaching you freestyle okay freestyle by your stroke but no hey dude that's swimming culture it's like paul's culture can't even be in swimming culture swimming culture so outlandish with speedos and dude it was it's no real you'd be pausing all day you'd be paused you wouldn't be able you can't even function if you're even in a pause mindset if i brought dame dash or somebody to a swim meet he would he would have he'd have to leave he's saying he could be paused for you to be in there he goes at a swim meet he's like pause you know he's in a full suit on a podcast do whatever the fuck he's up to i hope this isn't a hilariously like i can't swim question what i know what's freestyle like it's just anything freestyle is the classic oh okay okay let me actually get proper form oh hand over hand my hands are cupped oh whatever that is but the that's freestyle is hard to do without getting completely gas you could breaststroke indefinitely yeah that because you're coming up but freestyle i mean this is i don't want to bore people out of their minds but if you're doing it properly you need to have a plan like okay three strokes breathe out of air and you don't even come up for air you just kind of roll to your side and your mouth breaches and you take in air and you go back down but if you miss i would just about bring water in you're like it was a long way to go that's all i have a long way to go so you found out you actually can't swim also well i can swim it's a matter of technique i mean i mean i can i can do a thousand yards in about 27 minutes i was trying to find solidarity between the three of us no i hear you i'm not a particularly great swimmer if you want to bond over that i like it i got a great butterfly stroke bro no you don't no you don't when uh that's a ladybug stroke i want to see your butterfly now okay you know matter of fact almost a year where's your legs doing where's your legs doing we went on the lake was like about a year ago you that you bro you were terrified of the water me too lake waters i will say lake water is a little different it was a little different well i i we i think we both did the whole day with uh the floaty we were we were life jackets really smart floaty and floaty in the lake is honestly especially i'm sure alcohol is involved if we wouldn't have done that we'd have drowned and you guys would have been the racist guys who killed us on the internet that wouldn't have been true but that's what the internet would say they'd be like they went out there with their wife little obama chef conspiracy it would have been gay and racist it was like gay racist conspiracy we we get overly confident just i'm pretty sure they fucked their producers and drowned them lake austin we get too confident ruin everybody's lives i mean yeah there was um which one called i just saw a thing a famous like instagram bodybuilder like a fitness influencer like an og fitness influencer just yeah he just well he drowned the guy i forget his name he um i saw one about a guy who was like on ayahuasca and he like no wait the guy in thailand uh i'll find it because i'll find the guy i'm talking about i just i just had it here in my phone uh yesterday but there was a guy who was like a og fitness influencer 32 years old and let me see if i can find it right here uh connor murphy i believe so yeah yeah yeah that's the guy 32 years old yeah he apparently was just in thailand and bugged out like he smeared paint all over it he like just was up all night yeah it again he's i think the toxicology is coming in it seems like meth type stuff i have a video if you want to see him from like when he was about to pass out thailand meth seems terrifying there's a video from him oh yeah he ran well the cops came and he ran away and jumped into a like a really deep lake or wherever it was try to swim away and he fucking just drowned yeah that's how he went out that's him is that what he's on oh shit oh no oh god dude that's fucked that doesn't look fun no oh that's he's like playing with his tongue damn i also that was the thing i wanted to try one it was ayahuasca but that like might have just scared me off i'm staunchly also staunchly i don't i think it's bizarre like all these guys that do ayahuasca they always do it 50 fucking times they go you go down into a jungle i really do suspect that some of that stuff is a cult yeah again it's like you never did it blah blah blah fair enough but i see a lot of people like this is my 50th ayahuasca journey yeah dude i feel like you're fucking many exactly exactly double digits if it is this like you know mother spirit transformative thing you got to pay this guy a thousand bucks again to do it down in peru yeah why i i personally and i've talked to my brother about this a lot he shares i think even more so uh kind of a paranoid concern where you go down to like you know say peru wherever these guys like the ayahuasca guys shaman types man that is the easiest hustle to pull off yeah you get a rich guy from america or london or wherever you have them tripping fucking balls with a bunch of other people and then afterwards you're like bro your aura during that whole thing like i think you're like part of the great lineage and you need to come back down here and train and like i don't know i could i don't want to be yucking yum or being like a big time hater on people's fucking you know psychedelic bug out session but like dude that shit freaks me out where it's like this is my 50th time i don't want to be like a big time hater on people's fucking i'm just i have so much more to clear it's like dude i know i know one dude who did it he did it once and he did he changed his life i don't know if it was for the better or not but he was like he had like a good job working in it for like a like a big company or whatever he just quit and started like after the ayahuasca he came back and quit and started taking care of like volunteering and taking care of dogs at the humane society that's true like that's cool but it also is like you had a great gig bro i don't know if that i don't know if you're fucking kidding me i don't know if you're family was pretty hype on that that's the thing i've heard of a couple people too who have been like yeah i've done it once or twice it was like the bet that it was life-changing amazing it's like cool that's nice i've also i feel like i've seen a couple people kind of bug yeah completely bug on it and then like i remember i remember really early on when it was first coming online talking to someone we're like you would hear about it like it was like steroids we'd be like it was like hippie steroids like dude he's just on a different level now like my i remember someone boy did ayahuasca he came back now he has a dual screen computer and he just like does shit all day you know it's just looking at conspiracy two screens now that's that was the big breakthrough but yeah i don't know i i do think there's like i don't know i i'm like the more i see of that stuff the more i'm kind of i'm really hesitant yeah but my whole point is definitely don't do it in your fucking apartment by yourself in thailand if that's what you're doing every two hours he was doing extra doses every two hours he was like taking uh ayahuasca with who though just himself just himself yeah well that's the other thing you people who are like in the states like not all i i can make it i'll just bring it over it's like i'm not doing in my house yeah what the fuck dude then you're like no take me to the jungle i don't care if i'm being sucked into a cold give me the and everybody i know who's done it says like a six-hour trip like every two is like he was bugging he had to be on i don't know multiple yeah multiple levels yeah he was in all the dimensions he saw his past present that's a shame andrew tate was he was talking about ayahuasca and he says it's for cowards he's like if i wanted to find myself i'll go in the ring and i'll fight and see what i'm made of i mean i don't need ayahuasca like that as we said okay my thing is like do it before you talk shit that's the og anti-stoner like dude i don't even care what am i then he i guarantee he would bug out and freak the fuck out that's my thing it's like it's probably sick i'm not saying it's not sick it's a little bit where it's like i'm part of the ancient lineage and i've heard that stuff's not even real like the like i heard they did it like there was like a thing they did a long time ago but like this whole like ayahuasca lineage i could be wrong i've heard it's pretty recent in terms of like formalizing it and all this stuff again it's the thing we're starting to like almost like if you're a salesman like i heard it's kind of a grift i heard it's a bit of a hustle again i could be wrong i don't know ayahuasqueros i mean good luck with that but i don't even know how to spell it ayahuasca it's like up there with diarrhea yeah yeah impossible to spell impossible to spell but that's all my whole thing's just like heed caution because it's easy dude you imagine again if you are if you happen to be a bit of a malevolent actor it's easy to snap you have some wayward westerner and you're you fucking blow their mind you're dressed you have a log you just like look like the thing they want you to look like you i believe that guy especially if you're going there for that you're you want to be a malevolent actor you want that to all be true they already know that that they you know they want you to believe or they want to believe everything you're put pitching to them it's probably a layup i mean the easiest i think the babes the the babes are there you can snag the babes they're first and foremost it's just like you have the beautiful mother spirit you're divine i i do oh my god have you ever done like theory yoga classes how did you know oh my god i have done orange theory is it showing it's just a peruvian creeps again maybe i'm wrong all right maybe i'm wrong maybe it's chill again it's my thing is i will say for the record terrified to do it maybe one day it'd be cool you can all do it you say maybe the company retreat level that way we none of us get whisked away into so that's like a zero for you ayahuasca complete zero maybe maybe one day okay again maybe one day again i could be wrong i i you know i i have a lot of i have a tendency to like hear things and be like fuck that that's bullshit but i think it definitely probably rocks your socks because it's similar to dmt i think i'm nervous that's when i'm nervous i smoked dmt before and i was you're telling me you're gonna turn that on for six hours no thank you did you do like the straight dmt or did you do like the but it's still like i blasted i was i was gone i it's fucking nuts dude i was so i had the chancre for a while and just i had it so long i was like it might not be good anymore you need and again this this is you know i'm contradicting myself but you know i'm not going to be good anymore you need somebody there you can't it's gonna be me and my girl she's not you don't you need like i i luckily still have a thing where like if i'm with my older brother i'm like my older brother's here yeah i'm totally cool yeah so i smoked the changa with him and i was like what could go wrong with my older and dude it literally felt like someone just like like you know we see everything here i feel like someone just crunched that like a soda can and i was just somewhere else i blab it because you said that you saw the day you were with me the day i lost that well my brother couldn't hang at the show collapsed yeah that was the day i was like you know i'm big bro now like he went down what is a changa changa is when you take so you take basically dmt and rather than smoking the crystal itself you can kind of like melt it down or like dissolve it in something put it on like an herb like anything and then you uh let that the alcohol whatever evaporate out and you're it like transfers the dmt into a smokable herb form so that way you can just kind of rip it out of a bong and then having to like blow torch crystals like a crackhead so yeah it was that it's and here's the thing too it's like you know i'm not the biggest psychonaut in the world but it's like i've done mushrooms a bunch of times i've done all that stuff at the end of the day there's really nothing that can completely ice out your day-to-day like a tuesday 10 a.m bullshit part of the day yeah you can only you get better than that by facing it head-on the idea like dude i fucking transcend it to another dimension with this and now it's like now i've yeah maybe for three months man and then you're gonna like you're gonna get an annoying phone call and you're gonna spaz and it's gonna contradict this whole fucking personality you've built around being high for 10 hours that might be that might be that's gonna suck and then you're gonna get depressed is i've i've seen it that might be the nice ayahuasca it might last long but like that like little after the afterglow yeah because afterglow i feel like last for like if you if you do i don't know i've never really done more than the eighth but that lasts for like two days yeah of like you know what nothing's that bad the world's great people are nice and then you get like by day three you're back to like yelling in traffic or whatever the fuck i mean again i'm not against it i think it's i think it rocks that we have that stuff especially for as we get older yeah i think it's like massive it's gonna be so great to approach death with the ability to be like oh yeah diagnosis isn't good yeah time for a five grammar it's all been you know i'm not in like some weird basement this is all above board yeah i think all of that is phenomenal it's just this whole thing when guys are like with the whole like twitter thread brain where it's like let me tell you about a time i've absolutely transcended here's how i've done it's like dude shut the fuck up no you haven't you're a fucking dumbass this is probably ai it's that's the shit i hate when it's like i've gone to i just i've gone to another level i would love to feel like that though like come back and just be weird around like i'm just wearing fucking i've dude i've literally done this i've lived it i've lived it and you just crash it's a delusion it's a chemically powered delusion that crashes so fucking hard and you go fuck just start only wearing the sandals and shit like that just no guys i know what's going on if i got diagnosed with like a deadly disease i'd be on mushrooms all the time i think that would be like it just deal i would do like a crazy amount every day - I might eat like a quarter ounce, like a half ounce. I think I might definitely, if I knew I'm pure vision quest yeah fool you know lay me down i'm finishing my life god and it's here's the thing though maybe maybe i i like to think i would too but imagine tripping really hard when you know you have a terrible disease oh because then you might go like oh fuck i have a disease and i'm gonna yeah it could freak you out although no but if you take enough you will like leave your body and that would be pleasant because you'd be like what fuck's a disease i'm going over here i'm never going back to that fuck that my body sucks my body's cooked my mind is gay i'm on the fucking ethereal plane come back into your body you're like damn fuck i thought i was i thought i made it out i already met no guy i think overall for real probably would help if you have a terminal disease and you get to like blast out of the whole body sphere no doubt huge w spiritual w for sure it's just when you're like 27 you're a coder and you're like i've actually hacked the fabric of reality and tate dude oh i just get the ring to see what it's like first of all okay so then you know whatever i'm not gonna hate on cover tate but it's like i haven't he's not in ufc or anything yeah it's like it's definitely impressive to be a kickboxer but like okay dude cool and it's also like he's not defined by his fighting it's his online personality that's attracting people so it's kind of nuts wait tate used to be a fighter he's a kickboxer yeah he's a real yeah he's a real kickboxer but last time he fought he like lost though didn't he yeah i mean every fighter loses but it's also like i'm not again i'm not sitting here hating on cover tate's fighting yeah but it's like dude if that's the case get in the fucking octagon with a ufc guy you know but it's you know it's whatever that whole thing that i've encountered that so many times it's like just fuck that smoking weed it's like it's like dude you will bug out it's okay you'll bug out to be like i don't even need that shit i'll fuck it it's like okay cool i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i've been debating this for a long time i'm gonna like do something like that for my dad he's getting like he's getting older he's getting goofy brained yeah and uh and i don't know just part of me feels like that would be nice for him but i don't want to are you having to be calling it goofy brain what's goofy yeah explain goofy brain it's like dementia oh no goofy brain so apparently i i've read a thing that uh single dose massive mushroom things help dementia and that's from that's from our health czar brian johnson see this that's a new health jar brian no brian johnson yeah i thought he has an incurable disease he's got a little bit of he's got a little fucking autoimmune stuff dude everyone has that if anyone if anyone can figure it out it's him he's just gonna now he's gonna dedicate all this time and money to curing whatever this is talk about the guy who was drinking his child blood has a weird disease yeah okay but it's the guy you got that mushroom brian johnson brian johnson here's the thing yes when he swapped blood serum with the sun is that creepy optically yes obviously that's a very fucking i mean it's the essence of creepy to like to actually like suck out your son's youth and inject it into your it's from fairy tales he did the mirror mirror on the wall and instead of fucking giving a poison apple he was like yo give me some of your genetic youth just you have enough let me let me feed from you boy yes that's very unappealing i understand that however what the thing i do like about him is he publishes all he puts all of his money into stuff and he's very seems pretty transparent about all of his findings so i i do again is optically not the best that is i i do appreciate what he's doing he's doing youth genics on his son he's doing me genics but yeah that's you know that's the whole thing is he getting funding from people or he's just like his own money he's rich he's rich from tech shit so he took all of his tech though and he's becoming like a you know like a healthy vamp i love he's doing healthy healthy vamp life which is a new it's a totally new thing yeah i like i like this new thing where like people make a bunch of money from like one tech thing and then just do whatever they want for the rest of their lives exactly yeah it's not it's not like you know i i've we have parallel interests me and me and fucking brian johnson but there's a part where i'm kind of like all right this is a little weird i'm obviously a son max or he's not that's where we really disagree but the thing he did he got really the sun is bad yeah he wears an umbrella it's embarrassing but umbrellas umbrellas for rain are just like i i find that questionable enough for the sun is like bro come on that's just for asian ladies and and a pasty white weeb lady that's if we're gonna extend it iris is unacceptable dude i took my burn like a man in the pool yesterday no sunscreen but yeah the uh the thing brian johnson did is he took it's like mushrooms like big doses and hooked himself up to like state-of-the-art brain shit and he's now he's he's taking his nerd brain yeah onto the science of mushrooms and he's finding like dude these things are so good yeah for like a lot of stuff that we're not using i was thinking about giving him a little micro and telling him like yo this is like you know like not like a half a gram maybe would he take it oh yeah he my dad used to my dad used to be a he got dementia man he won't know i'll tell i'll tell him he'll be like all right nathan uh he'll give it a shot but but he used to be a deadhead like for real for real yeah so yeah they're like might be why he fucking has the fucking shit going on now he's a real deadhead yeah he's the he told me some story about like riding a motorcycle he didn't know how to ride a motorcycle on acid like he used to be if you met him you wouldn't guess he comes off like a straight lace uh like just dude but usually the most far out guys by the way yeah like come off pretty straight laced if i'm being honest when he was younger he wasn't he went to catholic school too and i read and uh like all his homies and i don't know he just became deadheads with them and that's so sad he was like selling weed and i didn't believe him when he would first tell me but he did that dad thing where he would like tell it again like like it was and it would never be it would just be like a story he told like the first time nothing's different like oh he really did that shit he just wasn't trying to sound cool but yeah no he's probably and also he probably was like yeah i would imagine he wouldn't try to just sound cool for his case probably like yeah yeah especially if he was a yeah being a deadhead back then must have it was those black deadhead black deadhead is wild dude it was and it was like those dudes just like chomped lsd with no fucking clue what it was yeah that was apparently that was him like i don't like deadhead all the white women you can fuck dude bro he went to catholic school when i was uh i don't mean that now i don't mean like hop up my dad but no that is a buffet that is a snow bunny buffet that's a bunny buff i was at uh you know they had pals yeah you don't have to he i was at the pal for like a summer camp and this lady like found out about me realized she knew my dad she was a freshman when he was a senior she brought in the yearbook showed me the picture and was like oh she told me it was like all the girls used to like your dad and it was just like hell yeah yeah dude he was probably the absolute girth monster of the dead lot in the 70s he's the og girth monster yeah you got to find out if he had like a hippie name because a lot of those dudes did have like a alias that's really fun yeah i gotta ask names i'm gonna ask probably was just girthquake that's true they called you girthquake in buffalo 72 son how'd you know that's gonna be nice though you give them the mushrooms you got to play the dead you got to put on the dead so on the day we're macking the day so we're gonna play the dead so we're gonna play the dead yeah true that's a good idea that's actually a good call yeah that's a good call my brother's on a similar quest to get my parents on the micros yeah that'd be good it'd be good where they're not in philly anymore right they're they're in philly they're like right outside okay where they always been so i mean they should just move to florida yeah honestly that would be the most chill if they just or at least like split time yeah just go on there all winter and come back get around the warm yeah not worry about shoveling or does your dad still shovel or like dude they get like i mean they're they get full time full talk of toys they have because they have like loaders they have like excavators loaders or they don't use an excavator for the thing but they'll use like backhoes yeah and just plow the driveway they're they're so into maintenance yeah grass all that shit they might miss the winter if they go down uh i think they they would enjoy my dad's a big fisherman he'll enjoy the fucking boats he's a he's a big uh pedal kayak guy so he like he loves being on the smallest boat in the water and looking at all the big boats and being like the fuck would you need that fuck yeah it's a fucking waste it's his favorite thing in the world the fuck is that dude ain't nothing like cutting your own grass though yeah i don't know we would just i i

to make my mind better than the phone scroll so in any moment that i have mental downtime that i initially it's like instinctively pull out the phone to scroll yeah i don't know when it just occurred to me i'm like dude that's such a fucking affront to myself to be like my mind's not better it's like every time i scroll i'm like it's pointless this is dumb yeah then i'm going well i'm saying that's better than just like my mind i'm like i'm on a quest now to be like no my mind's better than the scroll i can find more entertainment i can find more entertainment in my own brain i don't need the scroll and i've been off it i've been off the scroll my screen time's down to like two hours i was reading something that uh that was like saying that boredom is like good for your brain too we're trying so hard to not be bored you're taking a dump phone you're doing you're waiting at like i don't know at the doctor's phone and it was like boredom is good is like your brain is you're thinking about things you're you're you're you're getting better empathy you're doing all this other like i don't know dumb human shit not dumb human shit but like human shit that we don't do as much anymore because all of our downtime is like all right i got downtime what's going on yes it's literally like subconscious processing that's why when they say like sleep on it like you you thinking about stuff then your brain goes offline you wake up you're like oh like you know that's why people figure that out that i think the boredom is like for me it's just like yeah it's just a sick part of the day it's like you're left alone with yourself and you have to like like they did back the day when you're out in like a field in like the 1700s you would just be like staring at the sky with nothing to do i feel like that's a good idea generation time that's when you kick out a sick idea or one leaps out of nowhere yeah that's the whole thing of just constantly pulling that out it's just i don't know for some i don't know when it happened i just got like sick of the idea i was like dude my brain is bet my brain's better than this yeah why the fuck am i what am i doing why am i why am i nagging my brain and mind as if like i need to watch people fall and i need to argue i love watching people fall people fall it's so good it is nice you don't need to but then you see what you're like well that's the funniest thing i've seen all day i know it is good again it's not not it my problem is i'll be bored and then i'll scroll till i'm so bored of scrolling that then i'm somehow able to return to normal life and i'm like dude i'm just gonna cut it out i'm gonna try my best to cut it out all together i do feel mentally drained after those long scrolls i feel like something in the front of my head like feels like tired like i don't know maybe dopamine or whatever your brain's literally going it's so much fucking stimuli your brain just it's not like you're going oh i'm here and well now i'm entertained it's like a mentally taxing event to constantly be like and then to watch me like what why the fuck would they say that it's kind of like a psychological assault you know that's my whole point it's like dude it's the uh and it's like you have almost every single person tuning in everyone has different algorithms but it's like there's a part of your individuality that is like those quiet moments i think kind of make up because you're in those moments you're going huh i never thought about this i never thought about this but in all your quiet moments are replaced with almost like watching a commercial yeah it's going to be like it has this like bland uniform way to put it like watching a fucking commercial that's kind of what you're doing you're watching a very sophisticated commercial yeah and it's it's just like you know like a pepsi commercial although it's tied to like all the corporations and they're just like keeping you like i call it a negative flow state and you're just in literally a negative flow state that like goes nowhere and they're just sending you fucking bullshit or horny you know somebody got hurt so that's funny yeah that's awesome oh someone you don't like yeah has embarrassed themselves yeah congratulations you win again you win no i i'm i'm really am i'm really working that out of being like yeah i need to whatever to fit whatever i'm deficient in to make it so that i can do it so that i can't enjoy a quiet moment with myself i'm gonna actually take that head on rather than staring at my phone and continue to pacify myself into oblivion that's nice do you think a book counts too books are good books are good why are they different than the phone i'll tell you why a book you're taking on the spirit of the author it's a transformative experience you never once you put it on a book you can go i've never once put down my scroll and have been inspired in any way the book on the other hand is you're communing with people dead and alive on a very very deep personal level so i would say books 100 this is this is my is my prescriptive action is you have to come up with actions that make time feel not like torture so books of constructive action instrument obviously i think it's a huge one walks talking to people anything else than staring at i really think it's bad puzzles fantastic puzzles are great i've been wanting shooting to be like my new hobby because i'm close to the range but it's like buying bullets is so fucking it's not like a cheap you go like all right i'm just having a relaxing day they're expensive man you drop 150 old bullets you're like well now i'm stressed out about these bullets how much are bullets now i haven't bought bullets and depending on because i have a nine and i have a like a gun that shoots five five six and the nine is not too bad but uh five five six is the one i want to shoot more and yeah it's that those are fine you're like you're like i don't know what you're talking about you're like i don't know what you're talking about you're like a box a decent box is like i don't know 150 or something like for like 150 of them ends up being like 50 70 bucks depending on yeah i don't know it's always like a different box size when i go to the range so it's just like a different well you know you could do you become a cop because then i think if you're a police officer you go to the gun range there and they give you ammunition you can just not use it all and you can stockpile it basically free so i've heard i don't know if that's true but you're stockpiling brother yeah yeah you're the well-oiled militia that's going to protect this government dude so you deserve some fucking ammo the taxpayers i like it i've been getting cop peeled what do you mean bad cop hill or good cop hill no it's just like a ever since the legos thing it's really like exposed and i've been watching like a lot of uh midwest safety and a lot of cop stuff it's just like cops they pick a person and then they're like that's the bad guy even if it's not the bad guy you know what i mean i don't know i mean sometimes but i also think they also i feel like they work for the rich too right but i mean that definitely dude if you're if you're rich obviously the cops are going to favor if you dude if you donate to that like fop shit you can do whatever you want if you if you're like for real or in there like actively donating to the police all the time bro they're gonna let you go for sure the first car i ever had i uh i feel like i like never got pulled over and i what i did one time i was driving they were giving out like if you took gave a donation on the side of road they were giving out these magnets that were i forget what it was but it's about like a cop who got killed it was like uh it was like something and i slapped it on the back of the car and i just had it on there for years uh did i have my white acura when i knew you i don't when i had that car but never i never really and then and then somebody crashed it and uh i i had the fop sticker my fiancee crashed my og car and uh and um and stitcher's comedy club somebody somebody crashed it we were like early date i picked her up hammered it was like you could you drive the you drive back crashed it in the parking lot i was dang well here's also to your point i mean who do you think tortures cops more rich people or poor people poor people i mean but like they have it's like uh it's like working at a mcdonald's you know you know who's gonna come yeah true but still i mean to be fair they're getting tortured by poor people constantly yeah it's just a matter of fact and obviously you know it's not only that but it's like they're fucking torturing you dude imagine dude just having to go into a domestic dispute i would i'd be crawling in my skin just because i don't i don't like being there where people are fighting but then it's you're around strangers who are going at each other their children are crying and you're in their house after the hundredth one i'd be like man i really can't stand those guys i really dislike having to do that that sucks so bad they're both screaming at me now that shit sucks so bad yeah i would put it i would put that off so i would be like yeah i'll be let me do something you know that's the only time cop shit really irritates me is when they are doing shit for like quotas or there was a this doc i think we might have talked about it before but it was like about the girls who got killed in austin at the ice cream shop the dude who the first like three dudes who got arrested for who have now like they're they're cleared they got arrested because the the detective who was interviewing them was really good at tricking people into being like the best thing for you to do that'll be like is to say you did it and we'll go from there and you won't get as bad a time but so he was like tricking dudes who didn't do shit to be like just say you did it it'll be okay yeah and and then they were like in jail like their lives were ruined that's that's jerk stuff that's the thing when cops well they get like uh uh they get like career ambitious mm-hmm so it's like yeah the more stuff they do the better it looks it's you know they're just they're not upholding their true calling yeah and that and that shit is like ruining lives on the way like i get it too yeah attorneys do it too they'll be like hey man just it'll be better for you and it for them it's like if they have a prosecution rate that's high they're like that's all they care about yeah so it's not about justice yeah we need to get back to justice i think i'm going to become a justice cop after when when this is all done justice cop nice yeah bro i'm telling you i when brittany was a cop i was so close to becoming a cop i was so close to becoming a cop i was so close to it's kind of it's like as shitty as it is i remember being like you could make this chill your husband wife partners might be awesome dude there's it's more than you think and it's i think it's a disaster honestly really it's yeah there's there it's either cops either marry other cops or nurses typically that's what i saw the cop nurse combo is like the fucking absolute age old love affair yeah the cop sends him to her he's like i hurt this guy catch him up man but not too good you could make it a chill job for real but you said it would be you i you could you could but the thing is that sucks is uh i didn't know this but a lot of times starting out you're on shift work so you could work the mornings for two weeks then you're in the afternoons then you're on the fucking graveyard and that shit sucks no matter you can't never get a real sleep schedule no you're fucked you're kind of fried all the time so if you can avoid shift work you need to walk in you need connections because if you go in there with a sweet deal yeah where it's like you're on the seven to two you're off that would be chill but it's like i think it's i don't know it's it seven to two i'd be a bad seven to two cop because i'd catch a hangover maybe ten to four ten to four i'd be great seven to two you catch me on a hangover i'd be like you were speed you're gonna fucking pay for this just say you did it man you'll be fine you did it you know what sucks the most imagine if you just munch lunch you haven't done shit all day you eat a big fat you eat a meatball sandwich and then it's like everybody they hit you on the radio and now you gotta get out of your car and full sprint after a guy who stole like a fucking pipe off a construction job that shit that's why they get heart attacks man because they're just super stressed dude they just munch it's like a even a snake knows not to move after it ate a boa constrictor knows to lay for like four days after it eats a fucking prey the dude imagine munching i'm thinking about it like like especially like four coffees deep meatball sandwich now it's like go you're constipated now he got over you just you just finished the hoggy you're three fucking refreshers deep starbucks refreshers and now you're gonna chase a guy who might have a gun you're like it's fucked up he better not let me catch him he fucked up my digestion the bliss of having just finished a big sandwich did you ever hear that statistic about like judges where uh i guess when people have like their uh their hearings like any sort of like hearing like um you're trying to get parole or whatever if you catch the judge like a couple like he's close to his lunchtime but he didn't have lunch yet is like those dudes have the worst records of like getting out because they're grumpy like when they're they're a little grumpy while they're yeah while they're dealing if you catch him like right after lunch you have a better shot of wow and i i saw something that said that's a real statistic i didn't do research about it but your honor before i present my case you hungry would you like a snickers why wait i saved up my commissary your honor i worked for 17 hours to get you this snickers here's a pack of peanut butter crackers that's i could see that actually i could definitely as soon as i heard i was like that makes so much fucking sense yeah oh dude especially a lady judge come on life sentence you're cooked life sentence you hear a lady you're speeding in the construction zone she missed lunch you're doing three years fucking hard labor camp why did you do that i just think this is a little what your honor i think you're you might just be being overly emotional excuse me your honor uh is it by any chance your period They should for real. That's like a real thing. Yeah. That's a real concern. They should not be allowed to be judges on their paper. Decide fates? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I never even thought about that. That's unreasonable. It's crazy. We've gone a little too far with the. Dude. Where's the statistic on that? There's got to be one. There's got to be. You can't even study it because they'd be like, what? You want to. That's my business. Please look that up. There's got to be something. There's got to be something to that. What is the. Grok, what is the period judge statistic? Dude, while you find that, Lemaire, I had a. We were talking 4th of July earlier. We had, in my neighborhood, there was like a little. They did like a little thing where like kids and whoever could like walk around. I guess like a parade. Yeah. And, you know, it was hot as fuck, you know, as we know. Huh? Dude, it was hot. It was like fucking hot as shit. So we were like, all right, we'll just like go. We knew where the end point was. Let's just chill. We'll do our thing. And then we'll go to the end point of the parade and we'll wait. Because then they opened up this little building and they did face painting and all this shit. Yeah. So we'll just wait for like the after party type thing on 4th of July. It's just like fucking whatever it was, like 10 in the morning. It was early. So. Or 12, whatever it was. But so we're like ready to go in. It's like a crowd now. All the parade walkers are done. They're waiting outside this building. And it is like a decent little crowd. And there's like. All the kids are excited. There's face painting. There's like cotton candy and shit inside. So we're like waiting to go in. And, you know, with all this like. Whenever there's like a free public thing, you're always like, oh, this is nice. Yeah. It always. There's always weird politicians, like low-level politicians that come and they use it at. They like hold you hostage to do their bullshit politician stuff. You just sit there and listen. Dude, here's. This is the weirdest part. So. I'm like, all right, excited. I fall for it every time. And I'm like, oh, of course. Here comes the fucking some guy who's a whatever cabinet chancellor bullshit. So this is like guy starts talking and they. I didn't realize they had a camera and they're giving speeches, but they didn't have a real mic. They only had a road mic that hooked audio to the camera. So they were doing political content in front of a crowd and nobody could hear them. So they're not like. They had no projection. They weren't even talking to us. They were using the visual of a crowd and being like, what 4th of July means to me. It was fucking pissing me off. No, that stinks. So bad. That stinks. So bad. On the day of independence. Yeah. On the 250th birthday, you're going to make a fool of us? On 250, bro? Oh, man. I forgot it was 250. I might have fucking. I might have dumped something over. I might have flipped the face paint into the fucking pond. Bro, it was 250. Dude, three of them or three or four of them did these fucking. It was fucking jerked off speeches. It bothered me so much, dude. It was fucking so brutal. And it was like nobody could hear them. Yeah, it was just for show. And they go, okay, hold on. They take it off, give it to the other guy. And they used the crowd almost as like a. Look at my supporters. Yeah, man, look what I'm up to here. And it was like, you motherfucker, man. Yeah, people are bringing out their kids to see me. And I'm not. To hear my thoughts on this. It's like, dude, fucking open the face paint. Get the fuck out of the way. Those politician guys. It'd be so easy for them to be like, hey, I'm a. If they were just had a slight sense of humor, like, hey, me, local scumbag politician, just letting you guys know, get in there. It's going to be sick. Happy 4th of July, everybody. I would go, I remember that guy. It was fucking normal. He was cool as hell. I have no other faces of these names. I'll fucking tack that guy on. Just be transparent. Like, hey, I'm running for office. Annoyingly, I have to just like get my face out there. Yeah. I know it sucks. Love you guys. Happy 4th of July. Let's get after the cotton candy. Hey, little kid, dude. Fucking ruffle little kid's head. You hit a little scamp, bro. Head ruffle. Little baby kiss. I would have instantly been like, what's up, little guy? You got to get in there. Politicians can't kiss kids anymore, though, I think. No, head ruffles are all you can do. Head ruffles are all you can do. Maybe baby. Maybe baby, but after. I think the. Like on another Epstein, all that shit. True, true, true. Kissing the kids. No, you got to go full open mouth. Just a hanky on a baby. Man, that guy really loves our constituents. He feels so upfront about it. It can't be that weird. It's like when a dog's corner of its mouth goes up. whoa sir yeah i i was just watching that being like this is bad yeah it just sucked it's like dude be fun if you're a politician you're if you're trying to attract attention first of all if and again maybe this isn't a youtube maybe this is for their personal website but if which probably was a youtube video do you really fucking think anyone's gonna watch yeah a shitty speech on it was like or dude be a fucking order dude get out there and project yeah fellow constituents like you guys might even actually with your voice command attention that's good like well they did have a crazy homeless lady who was there who was like their kind of like mascot for and she was rocketed dude she was they had a marching band and she was just like yelling nonsense and moving around i was like at least she's entertaining yeah these guys were boring i was in the very front going boo i kept fucking my kids being like boo this is boring what were they doing they're just laughing like when we get a face man like once he's jerk off stop talking he's jerked off low level politicians shut up we can finally get cotton candy and face paint oh dude i saw britney on monday yeah she was dropping yeah the little jujitsu camp my kids were kind of stoked on that but dude i was oh yeah so then yeah we go in there and it was just like um it was it was annoying the fourth of july did rule though i was in a pool all day it was fucking nasty as hell got to play horse pool ball but then sunday so i go to the farmer's market and that's my one of my favorite things during the week i like going to the farmer's market i like you whenever there's a new vendor i'm like oh what's this oh raw milk cheese yes please which by the way i'm gonna eat when i get home but the um farm max cub dude i it was the i've been i don't know what it is so there's been i've been discovering just new freaks there's there's different and this one guy i think was one of

know it's hot outside it's hotter than they're saying it is true that's a fair point i think the weatherman might be lying to us yes it's probably like 200 degrees right i think it's 250 degrees outside it's no way it's only 98 dude i'm in line we're all crammed in and it lines at a farmer's market i've already talked about this are annoying enough because everyone feels like they have to talk to the fucking vendor where they're like hey man those peaches i had last week it's like shut the fuck up buy your peaches dude we're in a thousand degrees in a line buy and fucking leave but whatever that's fine i'm dealing with that and uh i'm in line and there's this older guy behind me you know it's hot we're all hot and this guy goes ah right in my fucking ear come on bro i'm looking ahead like that better have been one of like no more of those two minutes later oh oh and i turn around i'm like bro are you okay yeah you're moaning in my ear we're all hot this is despicable what you're up to how old did he look he wasn't old enough to be he was like maybe my dad's age okay okay where it's like dude this is crazy behavior right now yeah you're not dying get out the heat yeah just fucking move dude get out of here you can't get peaches this week you're gonna die yeah did you hear about a big boy no it's a it was this this train the bear loves it so it was this train that uh was going through like all like all of like pa like an old train that people were really excited to see like an old freight train and they're they're you know all out there waiting just waiting for just to drive past but it was so fucking hot in pa that like 150 people went down mid-train not like they were not on it they're just standing at the side of the tracks waiting for it to drive past it was just like a thousand autistic people there was so many people watching oh these were just train enthusiasts over a hundred of them went down to just see the big boy just to see the big boy no deaths no deaths three house 30 hospitalizations in like a hundred plus emt like needed to help so their butt got as sweaty as a kid waiting for the train like like passing out the big boy is so fucking funny it's just a loud freight train it's nothing else it doesn't shoot off fireworks when it comes past oh my god it rides past it stops for a little and then keeps going on panties this week we were like it was big boy mania i mean giving it all leaving it all on the field for big boys nice like i know i left it all on the tracks i wish the maximum amount of heat for big boy and me and 100 other biggest nerds ever just fucking passed out that's so funny like imagine dying like that that might be something i would walk away from my kid if my kids passed out waiting for big boy i would just quietly turn heel and fucking get in my car and drive away i'd be like i don't want to do this anymore i'm fucking getting passed out i raised the bell with fat autistic son one arm across his shoulder like fucking vietnam and he's walking back to your car man come on the big boy passed me yeah he passed it was beautiful you saw it you saw it man passing out and missing big boy is it big i didn't even think about that this is final words did i did i see big boy yeah they had a red white and blue banner on the front of the grill it was beautiful son you saw it you saw it you saw it i promise you saw it you just don't remember you saw it is a nice train though when we saw i mean to be honest i i would yeah i i any of us could pass out looking at big boy especially when it's 300 degrees outside you dressed for 110 and it was 340 degrees i mean just the i mean it is the palest legs just like central pa imagine the flashbang because if your kid's gone down you're probably close yeah and you're just walking through a field of passed out autists the train horns like where am i this goddamn d-day how is there no snack bar where's the concession stand there was none of that you're getting hella back to a quick stop right now i wish i knew about the battle i not see the big boy fall out apparently ableist to his sheets it's so apparently mom donnie's against the fucking right now because he did the uh air conditioning he like tried to have it so people couldn't have their air conditioning below 78 or 74 whatever the fuck it was because they were getting they're expecting outages because there's there was a massive heat wave so i think he did you know try to get into some like cool socialism like come on guys let's all let's all be the same temperature isn't that wouldn't that be cool if we're all the same exact temperature guys and already people are like fuck you yeah it's hot as shit i'm going to 73 and also to be fair that's like give me liberty give me death it's like give me 72 degrees or give me blackout i'd rather be hot and sweltering and just like a complete electrical blackout and be like oops the governor said or whoever said the mayor said i couldn't go below this thing in my house and if that's the one thing because if it blacks out you're like well everybody was under 74 yeah imagine you had jersey 74 you're hot as shit and it still blacks out and you go to your neighbor's house around 73 and you're going bro mayor's orders he goes what are you gonna tell you bitch now would you be pissed if you went to your neighbor's house and they were on 68 well here this was the big thing the thing i saw was that i i think i think uh taylor swift either had or was planning to have a concert and or not a concert a wedding yeah yeah with her beloved yeah she had it kelsey she had it and they were going i bet that wasn't 74 degrees it's like yeah you fucking of course it wasn't dude yeah yeah she rented out msg also i i again it's like i i'm not like a huge proponents of the rights of billionaires but this whole thing of being like the billionaires it's like yeah they're fucking billionaires yeah they're going to do it they're not going to be all the shit you're worried about has it just stop making it seem like it'll ever have anything to do with them they're fight they're financial mutants yeah they're not going to be like well we're going to turn down our thermostats it's like no you imagine they're billionaires it's like i get why you're mad but it's like be real yeah you know you're not going to be like well do it billionaire that's why they have a billion dollars they're going to be like hey uh fucking turn off their shit yeah they can do that that's what happens when you're a fucking billionaire i don't know it's not a welcome take but it's like stop comparing yourself it's just a fucking billionaire it is what it is one of those it is what it is kind of thing it completely is yeah it's like at least free yourself for the mental burden by being like i bet taylor swift's wedding was yeah it fucking was dude she's a billionaire she had a comfortable wedding in madison square garden stop wasting your time worrying about yeah you're never going to get anywhere that way i've tried to have that a similar conversation with my mom about politics so be working exactly like it doesn't matter you're old as shit like yeah it's just relax you're mad about this yeah it's a sad thing to get mad about that's exactly that's i've said it's right like it bums me out how much time you spend thinking about this yeah you're gonna die one day lady you have a mayor telling you to control your thermostat you think she feels the same way with you about aliens i don't talk to her about you i'm not a psycho i'm not gonna be like mom have you heard about aliens it is funny to calm her down about the news right now about these aliens what's nathan that's the thing too it's like i don't know it's just you read all this shit and it's like there is there is the other aspect where it's like you know if we're going into a future of super hot super cool socialism which we might be of just babes being like let's all come together as one and turn down our thermostats it's like yeah maybe there's a there's a cool community aspect in that but first of all it's like i know people are cheating dude yeah i know people are going well i have fucking have you been getting the austin energy techs no i've been getting the techs from austin energy that's like we're expecting higher because of the heat here like they're i'm getting the same thing like maybe below on your electricity they don't get specific about like the temperatures but there are like they're big be conscious of it be conscious of your the electric you're using during the day to go man you're about to get a data center a thousand dollar bill i know right it's gonna be are they coming do we have them here now there's data centers in texas i don't know if really in austin yeah but there's some like outside like foreign and they're jacking up the electrical bills for everybody because they're using so much electrical that then become so in demand that they can raise their prices and they're kind of kind of on the electrical companies dude it's on the electric companies and the the data centers are like lying about how they're how much electricity they're going to use too i think that sucks because it's in these like like lowly pop they put them in lowly populated places which are usually not a lot of money there too you just get a person making you know forty thousand dollars a year who and then their bill skyrockets my thing is why doesn't the utility company take the w and say cool we're now selling more gigawatts or whatever the fuck they're called well there's this one company that like stopped it stopped giving power to people it's going to stop giving power to people and just for power to people it's going to stop it's taking away the power from the people their literal power yeah it's literally taking the power away from the people is that true yeah and like mount vernon california or something hold on but they're just not going to have electricity now i find that hard to believe gonna have to get another company to come like support the town i find that that strikes me as sensational i don't know maybe that's true again because like dude think about if the people can't afford it and the company with all the tax breaks can't afford it you're gonna go you're just gonna give all your electrical to the company yeah dude i'm sorry dude if you were one day they're like bro yeah i would not give you a lot of revolt that sucks i would be fucking livid if they're like i was trying to find it i don't dude you're kind of you got to kind of like do something if you want electricity it's like come on man what the fuck i was asking for a little bit of juice here you're trying to power my switch and watch some tv you want to build a goddamn generator i find that so i i i highly doubt that's true i'll be honest there's no way find that story i need to see if that's actually true but the mom donnie thing's making me laugh i i just i have a lot of people that are like i don't know i don't know i don't a i'm just curious to watch that all play out here's the thing i'll be honest if that worked if he somehow united the entire city of new york in some very kind compassionate thoughtful manner that works for all that's amazing i just there's no there's no track record of ever really people ever getting away with that and doing it without that devolving into the people in power becoming absolute fucking psychopaths yeah like wow i'm controlling everybody yeah yeah i just don't you know i don't see that working out but we'll see in the meantime in new york city don't touch that fucking thermostat you think the plane i will tell like his people he'll say everybody do it but he knows his supporters will be like mandani said so they'll do it in that half or however many is enough to kind of be like all right we fucking we got the we got the dumb ass half what do you what do you wait do you mean like like the people who voted for him who are like super mandani supporters like say he gets that like a small portion of that group which says like one-tenth of the population of new york to to actually do it he's saying it to everybody but they are like there's no fucking way everybody's gonna do it but that one-tenth is enough you know what i mean like almost like you're tricking the people like everybody do this and he's like no way everybody's gonna fucking do this maybe i i personally i think it could be and again i don't i don't know if it's uh if it's this deep but i maybe it could be one of those like they call it the totalitarian tiptoe where it's like hey everybody turn your fucking hair down and see if you can get them to do little by little see how much control you really have then they start putting a monitor because i wonder because they could probably measure in watts how affect how much people are actually listening to them which is kind of creepy to be like let's measure the electrical output and see if people are 100 percent with ai now 100 you can like look in people's house with wi-fi probably yeah no you can't no i've seen that yeah like the signal bounces off the walls and then like it hits anything that's interference the signal and it can like tell you what's in the room whoa it's kind of sick yeah it's crazy like i think the government can like like military can like do that like look in they can see everything in this room like us sitting here being fat i don't know if i don't know if it's i don't know if it's bouncing off of our penises i don't know if they can see that like it's just like your clothes outline i spent a decent amount of time in here naked to be honest if i like walk or work out i'm sweaty and then i come in here and i throw my clothes in that washing machine and i usually get a shower and i'll just sit here just wait waiting for my clothes my clothes are just the process of being taken care of being washed i found the story it says what's the scoop nv energy the nevada utility company has supplied most of lake tahoe's electricity for decades it has informed lake tahoe's liberty utilities that it intends to uh that intends to will stop delivering power to the region that it will stop delivering power to the region sometime after may 2027 forcing the provider responsible for serving 50k area residents to scramble for a replacement energy source so they're going to have a new place to step in but because they're giving all of their yeah energy to the data centers because up in north vegas is where they're building the most data centers yeah okay so then they have to dang so they're not even hooking them up with like here these guys will switch you over yeah you gotta find a new guy by may 2027 that's not a little bit of people 50 000 a lot of fucking people that doesn't even make sense so what my thing is that electric is attached to an infrastructure yeah so you can't just be like unless somebody's going to someone must have taken that over or no i think they're saying someone's going to have to take it over i don't think you can legally do that as an electrical they're doing it man they must be paying so much it must be giving trump money yeah true trump 2.0 is not going down favorably let a lot of people do not a lot of people are going out fair even the fifa thing was interesting too would you step in and uh reverse the red card oh i wait did they actually reverse it in cali like so after way after the game happened they ended up reversing the dude got a red card in one game that way he was kicked out of that game and then he was supposed to be suspended for the belgium game and apparently i don't know if it's true trump knows the guy from fifa somehow which i'm curious how he knows him because it almost strikes me as like he might have some dirt on the guy i could just go well the fifa guy reversed apparently i didn't realize that's never been done before like reverse or appealing the red card suspension yeah they somehow did it and got it done so then that player was allowed to play in the team usa game against belgium which they just lost anyway yeah damn so the international community was fucking livid about that but now england's going for a red card appeal yeah so england's like fuck you if you let them do it we can do it got him just give it to him it's so sick america ruined the world cup england window but they're they're they i think someone got a red card and they battle against mexico so that there will be suspended for the next game and england's being like yo fuck this yeah there's a lot of sad people walking down the street on uh mexico game yeah those jerseys are sick though they are they're fire those jerseys they're very sick yeah you know what there was no sad americans when we lost everybody seemed relieved yeah i was at the bar and everybody was like oh that sucks hot take soccer is a minor league sport it's literally a minor it's the philadelphia phantoms i'm stoked people are excited about it but it's genuinely world cup is minor league it just is it was it was fun for a little bit knowing other countries were like getting to watch us be dickheads though like it's their favorite time of like the center of the decade yeah and it's just us with like red white blue face paint yellow usa being mid they're like you guys aren't even that good shut the fuck up dude it's like if the philadelphia phantoms went and played abroad and like yeah they got fourth place in a global tournament you go cool yeah nice cool kind of did better than we thought yeah great i'm glad everyone had fun man that's a good thing i'm glad everyone got there and gave it the best the uh the which i'm gonna call it the uh the hell's gonna say people apparently the you know everyone like broad is like america sucks apparently the world cup was a giant um it was a big leg up for like the image of america abroad because everyone there's all the shit was going back where everyone's like this place rules i don't know everyone's saying america sucks everyone's assholes but all these people from all over the world were like it's country fucking rules yeah they got to experience it but the trump reversal i think erased some of that goodwill where they're like i knew it they think they can do whatever they want first of all we did we literally can like literally like the revert which i again i don't know how they did that but that was like on you know but that uh yeah i'm glad everyone's enjoying the world cup it's fun it's fun to watch but again it's losing is kind of like whatever guys we won we made all that money all our businesses thrive during the world
