to big markets here before but this is enormous
so anyway our goals we chill out we have beers first night his missus cooks the ribs he's got a
baked potatoes you know the jack potatoes on the barbecue and i'm having a great time
wake up the next morning we've just got two huge dishes of like all sorts of like seaweed and
twigs he'd foraged and some like bits of fish heads and that that he'd
got these tiny little fishes out there and then the frogs bro i've got the pictures wheel i send
them to you oh i was i had sticky rice and i dipped it in the spicy sauce and that was like literally
the only partaking of that activity i did you ever seen the videos or have heard about like how long people
in japan will train for a particular part of the sushi making process oh what about the blowfish
have you seen that isn't it the blowfish takes like 10 to 12 years the proper one
takes like 10 to 12 years, the proper one.
That's mental.
I was just watching this video.
It was this
sushi apprentice
out of Japan
who has been doing it for three
years, and the only thing he's
been allowed
to try and perfect is
making the rice.
It's like three years of making rice.
I believe it, because sushi rice is on a different level right well yeah it's got to be sticky it's also they add uh vinegar to it in order to fill
the flavor and kind of balance out uh flavors of the fish um yeah i mean it's an art it's uh
beautiful it makes me want so not only do i like watch
every fucking cooking program like i'm a master chef addict man i've been for years and that right
iron chef all of it me man taste i watch the taste i love me some plus you know the mason plus series
on taste i'm sure we've i'm sure we've meant or i've mentioned this before but do you watch what is it the great british bake-off
well actually that's the only thing that i don't watch right because i hate the
on it like so there's a reason i like i would send you my parents try and have tried to get
me to watch this with them in the past i'm like all right i'm that big baker fan but i'll check it out
so red eye i would point blank just refuse so mickey flanagan me one of my favorite comedians
does this great like thing where he's talking about like mary and he's like i'd off for a
good sponge you know what i mean like it's a classic little comedy stretch but i don't know i i didn't
like it i don't know fat women baking cakes if i'm is that racist or not no it's not uh i mean
well it brings up a good point would you feel better about uh you know the food you're about to get if it was a fat lady making it versus a skinny lady i want
i want i want a 60 pound white dude with long hair who uh identifies as a 240 pound black lesbian
that's what i want to cook my cakes like i'm i'm if i'm having cakes baked i'm all dei me like i'm
all about it like talk about talk about here's joe so i was waiting for b-bands
because i did you see the tweet about neo-statism earlier uh red eye yeah yeah because i will
mention it when b-bands comes in but i did get a dm on the barry account though about like robber
you know why i think this was off m darni the other night like robo why are you like always like
I think this was off M. Darnie the other night, like, Robbo, why are you, like, always, like,
socialist, communist, Marxist, like, when you're describing, like, why all of the three of them?
And it's like, well, dude, like, I'm not going to say who it is, but you're all not a person,
cool kid. I was like, well, they've all merged into one. Like, if you didn't really know,
and how this thing happened, and I want to wait for babe and's coming in because she was asking some questions the other day about like
satanism and stuff like that you know and rack fm's very happy to like give viewpoints on this
shit but let's welcome joe because he's the one that's dealing with this fucking shit from uganda
right little mohammed no i mean honestly i just work in New York City. I don't live in New York City, so I can't vote or anything like that.
But what I do notice, being an employee of New York City and also a member of a wonderful public sector union, is that the worse the mayor is, the better contract the teachers get.
So I'm pretty happy if this guy just, like, destroys Adams and then we get a massive contract next year.
just like destroys atoms and then we get a massive contract next next year and i hope that they tax
um all the millionaires one last time before they move to florida and tennessee and north carolina
and south carolina so that so that it can get me that extra one percent everything you've just said
is going to come true though that's exactly what will happen you will get a rate out because this
is what happened when starmer got in right all the train drivers all the doctors all the nurses all the teachers all the unions who
supported them right he basically just fucking rate get union support you get a pay rise i mean
some of the public set the pay rises were up to 27 you know joe yeah i believe it and i when uh
when when de blasio got elected before him him was Bloomberg. Bloomberg did not negotiate contracts with the unions at all.
He left 40 or 50 unions hanging without a contract.
Bloomberg was really good, Joe, wasn't he?
People underestimate Bloomberg.
He's a fucking retard.
He was a piece of shit, too.
But he spent all the money.
Yeah, he built new baseball stadiums everyone
was happy about that but um if we could have had like a like a like a replay of like a younger
giuliani probably would have been better long term even though giuliani was pretty hated for for you
know the cops and the firemen did not like giuliani at all well the thing about yeah you're right
there but the thing about uh giuliani is and what he what he
you know what he was really adamant about in the the policy and all that because i know this because
i've seen a full documentary about the history graffiti and that law he was like that where you
take the the thing like no graffiti because like that's where like shit starts like right at the
base level that's common that's common sense It doesn't take a genius to implement that.
Because that's how, if you ever go to one of your friend's houses, you're automatically inclined to respect organization and cleanliness.
You don't need to be told not to fucking take food into the bedroom.
If your friend's mom is a stickler for cleanliness.
And you could apply that on the city level, obviously.
It doesn't take a genius.
And he was a prosecutor of the mafia.
It takes a genius to put up signs that say, don't pee on subway.
Well, now we need that.
We need that signage, right?
We need that everywhere.
We also need signs that say, don't jump on the tracks.
We need stuff like that.
And hopefully this new mayor that we get, this guy, fucking whatever his name is, fucking kite runner.
Oh, Zohan Mdani.
Listen, I'm going to tell you right now, there's nothing more dangerous.
Not dangerous.
I shouldn't say dangerous there's nothing more effective in a negative way than just having complete
unchecked confidence without ever imagining that you could be wrong or not know something
you can get the most done in a single you know do you know when i hear you're always right if
you just think you're always right about everything you go extremely far because people people that are sensible just get out of your way and that's what happened here do you
know when i hear his name do you know what i think i think about some like a black dude on the
savannahs of southern africa like standing with like one foot on a zebra with his
like spear through its head beating his chest like zohan num beating his chest like and here's the thing you could tell that he's acting like like when when i first saw aoc
speak a couple times before she was elected i always knew there was something off about her
and then it hit me i was like holy shit she's an actress this guy's an actor he doesn't really believe anything
he's saying he just smiles and shouts down any opposition and he's he's really good at it he'll
win right but i gotta say i never liked mayor adams he's a dumb dumb wait a minute he only got
43 right so eric adams has got the opportunity to porch 57 and you you bought it. I saw a good take on Twitter where they were saying,
even though he's an independent,
he's going to be able to come across as the steady hand.
And people that are nervous up until election day,
they might just vote for him because he's the devil that you know.
He sucks too.
But I like this unleashed Adams.
If I could vote, just the fact that he's independent
would make me inclined to vote for him because I don't vote for anyone that's not i think i think adams probably
makes better public service videos i mean his video about searching your kids room for guns
and drugs is fucking hilarious oh yeah that was so good that reminded me you ever see a robo must
have seen this like in the 90s when they had those after school specials about the drugs and the violence,
like all that stuff, where they had like child actors.
Hey, stop that.
Just sit in the chair.
Sit in the chair.
Stop.
It's cool.
Are you off work, Joe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Work ended yesterday.
So I'm in a Hawaiian shirt and underwear.
And my kid is, I don't know.
Oh, Joe.
I am the Supreme Court. court i am exact thing joe
i'm almost in the exact same garb good for you man this is why i i i on the supreme court yeah
because they're fucking entity as well but we'll get on to that i want to be bands to be in for
the banter but come on continue what you was doing mate um no i i like this unleashed mayor adams
because you're gonna get the truth he'll be the he'll because you're going to get the truth. He'll be like Trump.
He'll tell the truth the most but also lie the most at the same time.
But you're like, well, at least he's telling the truth.
Everyone else just tries to – they just want to tell everyone what they want to hear.
I don't think I'm going to say that ever again.
You mean the lesser of two evils is basically what you're saying right now?
Yeah, I mean that's really – you have to eventually accept that that's what elections are.
And this is why Trump was able to win a second term because you see the alternative.
It's just like a bumbling idiot and then another bumbling idiot in the VP slot.
It's like, well, at least Trump trump is funny at least we already saw him
once like that let's vote for him i think that's what it comes down to and i honestly i think he
won in 2020 also and i don't think it was i think it was probably even more of a landslide than this
last one 100 100 he won in him and look how many fucking votes by i have a feeling that i have a
feeling that if there was any way to audit the 2020 election i wouldn't be surprised if he won like
42 states to be honest with you because no one was buying i you know i never once saw i live in
new york and the county that i live in is is very purple um it's a lot of like nimby liberals and
a lot of blue collar like hardcore you know manual laborers who commute to the city.
And they're, they're all, you know, I would say moderate Democrats, but I didn't see a single
Joe Biden bumper sticker. I didn't see a single anything. Whereas like in 2016, you would see
Hillary Clinton, you know, shirts and flags and bumper stickers i still to this day
have seen way more bernie sanders bumper stickers and i've never seen a single joe biden one even
though where i live is where i live you know dude did you see what happened in congress
so yesterday or not so the woman uh went and testified behind closed doors the auto pen woman
and then uh jill jill biden's chief of staff jill biden's work husband you know in air quotes wink
wink uh effectively refused to testify so coma was out and coma was like right i'm gonna subpoena
this motherfucker because he can't hide from me he went we've got the doctor in next so the doctor's
coming in uh next uh but she yesterday i'm not gonna say she sent anyone down
the river because it was behind closed doors she just come out and she went i told them exactly
where i am i'm the secretary i get told what to do with the auto pen i'll carry that out
who makes the decisions on some of the auto i she i she was like i've got nothing to hide i don't
know if you saw that but so i didn't see
it you know why i don't take it seriously because i don't think it's a surprise i don't think obama
was signing anything either i i i honestly first of all i think we talked about this before
there's a video on youtube and i can't find it but it's from the early 2000s it's it's from like 2001 2002 and it's joe biden senator
questioning a computer software programmer and this computer software programmer is explaining
how they developed software that could flip any district vote 5149 in any direction that they
wanted it to yeah yeah so the senators are kind
of in disbelief joe biden this is like when joe biden was like at his prime where he was very
sharp pretty sensible probably before he was bought you know by china whoever and he's asking
he goes he's like in disbelief he goes well how do you know that this even works and then the guy
says with a smirk on his face oh well, well, we tested it in Florida in the 2000 election.
And that was that.
So, you know, you know, you're talking about Suncorp, right?
I don't remember.
I saw, I saw.
Wait a minute.
There's the whole connection with Venezuela, dude.
So literally when we talk about Dominion,
they stay in age, right?
This is a scandal that's been going
on for over 25 years this is like so listen this is a massive rabbit hole there's only a few of us
in the room i can talk to you and that and black pillar life out here on sun corpses before you do
that let's say good morning to scott that's what i was about to say that's why i was cutting joe
That's what I was about to say.
That's why I was cutting Joe off to bring Scott in.
off to bring scott in you know what i mean
You know what I mean?
You got to cut Joe off, man.
Me and him go at it.
He is a silly, silly man sometimes.
What he's talking about, I think Joe's probably round about, oh,
2008, 2009 maybe, that testimony.
I've seen that one as well.'s when i saw it it was like 2009
2010 was when i saw it and then i just i just i think that was the day where i was like confirmed
that none of this is serious these are not serious people these are not serious systems
it's just not serious none of it but the people have to dress up in their ties and
carry a briefcase and then
get their hair done every five days just to make it look serious i i don't i don't think they're
fooling you know a lot of people anymore but people have to it's like watching a marvel movie
you're like all right well you know you know captain america can every time he throws the
shield it always magically comes right back to him so like that's how people go to the polls i think so basically right the the dude is mapped well a few people have but a dude
mapped out the whole situation with like dominion the backers who's behind it how it's also connected
to things like antifa etc it all goes back to hugo chavez venezuela uh coming into the late 90s i mean they did it
first in venezuela you know they tried it out right yeah i believe it i think that purposely
the united states leaves these like quote-unquote rogue nations to test all like the the subversive
tactics that they'll roll out when they need it during either an election or like a
conflict or something like that so they they love that ukraine ukraine is the way it is they love
venezuela i'm sure they're i'm sure cuba is has been used for experiments before you know what
it took to steal the 2020 election though to make sure it was going to be because there was going
to be that much of a landslide right do you know like what the the lengths that they had to go to so you i mean you're hearing about the chinese driver's licenses
now right but there's the dominion back door through serbia right uh this uh the venezuela
situation there's the uh ballot harvesting that literally this is one of the reasons that obama was so keen to get all of the
somalis right into minnesota back in the day have on the criminals so that they're just
what about what about the iraqis they put in arizona in like 2004 2005 like this is all
this is all done on purpose and then they realized well we could just mail in the ballots from iraq
and somalia now because there's a pandemic it's it's they were trying too hard it's easier now maybe you know how lost arizona is
right so i wanted to talk to uh oh he's right now but i wanted to talk to is it five on it that's
got the land in arizona uh he's in texas no no he's got the land in arizona he's got a place
there it's new mexico actually it's new mexico oh i thought he
said arizona all right maybe foxy but the that's going down in arizona with katie hobbs
oh my good lord her veto on the bills and the budgets is ridiculous but yes red eye
well talking about we were talking a little bit about schools earlier and i was reading something
uh that was in the news in South Carolina. I was curious.
I had a question for Joe. Do like K through 12 schools, like public schools, do they, are they accredited by like a public group or is it some private institution?
The way it works in New York and probably every state is that the state has its own
department of education. There's a company that makes all the tests and also in New York and probably every state is that the state has its own Department of Education.
There's a company that makes all the tests.
And also in New York State, that same company makes all the teacher exams as well.
But they determine the graduation requirements and all that crap and probably split the budget up the way they see fit.
For New York, it's Pearson,
but I would imagine Pearson has huge market share in the United States.
But New York has their New York Department of Education,
and then they have this other organization
that's semi-public, I would say.
It's called BOCES, B-O-C-E-S.
And BOCES is above the individual school school districts and then they i think they either
work side by side or answer to the state department of education which is just like
probably any other public office like you know dmv or whatever that's like a bunch of
nine to fivers who don't know anything they're just checking rubber stamping shit but um but um
new york is a little unique because new york city
is considered one school district so they operate their way and then the rest of new york state is
smaller like locally does that include the universities as well or just the um i mean
there's definitely a separate budget for the um like the school like the uh they called suny
state university new york There's definitely a separate budget
for that, but then there's also CUNY, City
University of New York. So New York City
operates like its own state when
it comes to education.
Secondary and tertiary
education are always not.
They're never ever
there's no intersection between them
in the way that a city
would fund something, right?
It's separate.
Because the funding, I think it's like, I don't know what the exact number is, but let's call it 90%.
90% of the funds for K-12 come from the state, not from federal.
And for the universities, it might be different.
It's definitely separate.
It's definitely separate it's definitely separate
but also new york city is separate new york city is is is like i think it's 2 000 schools
and they they act as one school it's one school district so what wait a minute though what counts
is that is that the whole of the five boroughs or let me just get this right mate yes it's it's one
school district right the five the five boroughs, right?
And we have our own teachers union.
We're part of the NEA, which is the National Teachers Union.
But New York City also has our own union, which is massive as well.
It's probably...
Is that Manhattan?
Remind me what it is.
Is it Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx?
Yeah.
It's pretty wild, though, because between Brooklyn and Queens,
if they were their own state, they would be like a medium-sized state, right?
And they're considered together with Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island
as far as school districts.
And it's ultra centralized under the mayor's office.
So the principals really have no power.
The superintendents don't have any power.
They're just kind of political appointees.
And our superintendent, from what I've heard, was actually the girlfriend of one of mayor adams business cronies and they just slid
her into that role with like literally no no experience whatsoever she can't handle that
though wait and that's mental what you were now wait a minute are you saying like fucking you're
like oh queens and brooklyn could be like me like decent i states like on their own so yeah i think
three million people i think brooklyn's rhode island
what's so what's road road island's estate right so what's rhode island then
what do you mean what is it how many population like in relation to like say like you're saying
like i don't think it could be more than queens it could be but i don't think so i don't right
i don't think that many states are above queen has 1.9
mil it looks like brooklyn is the largest yeah brooklyn is probably the largest by by area also
brooklyn is brooklyn is huge the population density of brooklyn and queens are insane um
when you consider that a lot of manhattan are like office buildings it makes sense that like
most of manhattan like at any given time time, Manhattan probably has the most people in it.
But they're not all residents.
They're commuting and they're there for work.
Manhattan, I mean, sorry, Queens and Brooklyn are mostly residential.
So like I think between the two, it's like five million people.
So it's crazy the amount of residents.
And that's who they know is there So it's crazy the amount of residents.
And that's who they know is there.
That's like the accounted for population.
The reason I asked about the accreditation to begin with is I saw that at least the University of South Carolina system, which includes a bunch of its satellite locations, is joining five other major southern public college systems to create a new accreditation
agency. Yeah. I think the worst thing in the world is like centralizing education because
the results speak for themselves, right? New York City is horrendous results for their public
schools. And all you have to do is go out of New York City to the
adjacent counties where everything, the taxes are very high, but those taxes fund the schools
locally. And those are the best performing schools across the country. So it's Westchester County,
Nassau County, which is where I live. And then next to Nassau County is Suffolk,
which is like Hamptons and like that, like those, you know, high, you know, high tax zip codes between Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and then whatever county is north of Westchester, you know, still very close to New York City.
in in the whole country and their public schools they probably outperform most private schools
as far as test results kids getting into four-year schools kids graduating four-year schools on time
all that stuff and i think it's all because it's locally funded and totally accountable
to the the families that pay those taxes in new york city there is no school tax
they're they're skimming from a pool of collected taxes so So if you live in New York City, it's not clear how the schools are funded.
Yeah, we don't get a receipt for how, you know.
Yeah, but in Florida, I do.
In Florida, I see my taxes and I know exactly what goes to the schools.
It's like $400 a year where my parents live, which is like as middle class as it gets for New York.
Their school tax right now is, I think, $8,800 a year.
Joel, would you not move to somewhere like...
I'm hearing about this exodus.
Joel, would you not move to somewhere like Florida or not?
Or do you think it's too much?
It's almost a done deal.
In two years, I'm out.
And the reason I say two years is because after two years,
I'll have 15 years
in the city system and that means i'm vested in my in my health benefits for life so if anything
ever goes wrong i'll always have those benefits and they're good mostly in the northeast but at
least i'll have them and you would you get snapped up do you think for a job like is there plenty of
like sort of like teaching work do you think in florida i bet there is i would not go into the classroom again i would go into like curriculum design or like
virtual like anything you know i i could definitely design curriculum you know because i've been doing
you mean yeah i could i could are you kidding do i do this shit myself man yeah you know how
once you do i'm picturing joe as the next commissioner of some school board.
You know, he's going to be in there facing the tough questions of why is this, you know, book in our library.
Joe would be a good councilman or something.
Yeah, yeah, Joe, you'd be a good assemblyman or a good, like, I think, yeah, Antank would be good politicians, actually.
Yeah, I wish.
Yeah, thanks, Robo.
I can't wait to get death threats all the time you're telling me you don't
get them now as a teacher in new york city i figured that coming out i can every student's
lunchbox i'm good at flying under the radar at work i just i just do what i have to do i get out
i high five a couple people on the way out and i don't even the minute i step out of my building
i don't think about work at all yeah here's here's the one for you. Did you see, you know, the Minnesota shooter?
Talking about that, the Minnesota shooter though, right?
His wife and that, you know, do you know that like she was ready to like leave the passports and all that?
And then she's like, oh, I didn't know anything about this.
I'm like, wait a minute.
Your woman's got to be lying here.
Like, you're not like ready to leave.
I think there's no such, I think there's no such thing as like a one-off hit like that.
I think there are probably dozens of people that helped plan that.
And if you're going to tell me his wife wasn't one of those dozens of people,
I'll say that's bullshit.
Oh, it's MKUltra.
What they're doing is, what you're saying right now is they're releasing all the MKUltras.
It's the same things like with assassinations on Trump.
Morning Tank, GM fam, GM brother.
Slow day to day.
Not for me i just took a poop and everything was going pretty smoothly and fast nice a lot of psyllium husk in that diet
when you get older man those things matter i told you we want one when me and tank we did a
space and i always laugh because i'm like we could be sponsored by Metamucil and Just For Men.
Oh, I told Robo for a long time, he should try and get a sponsor for Ovaltine.
Oh, I've got a picture, and I'll have you seen the picture of me on the Ovaltine tin or not.
The Ovaltine tin.
I'll have to send you that.
Brasco did it for me.
What's with Ovaltineine ovaltine is like
a shake right jaw what's wrong with you yeah yeah yeah i used to do the carnation instant breakfast
one yep it's just like carnation instant breakfast okay that's what i had awesome you absolute
pooers you absolute pooers man yeah step away from the oval team for a minute will you hey tank listen i'd had a trouble you know for two weeks i've been shitting through the eye of
a needle bro every morning jackson pollock right and i was getting a bit worried that i had something
wrong with me i don't know what's going kangaroos here he's coming in the shit story a typical
rama enters when the shit story's on the go but bro i did i had the shit for like two weeks
and then i discovered
this place up the road that does like you know baked potatoes like garlic butter baked potatoes
with cheese on top right they've got the sour cream with the bacon bits and the cilantro
and their going on and so i think about five days all i've done is eat baked potatoes and then today dude i had a
dinosaur's leg like literally i thought i was giving birth to the virgin mary like i was like
holy my goodness i stared at her for about five minutes you know i was in disbelief and i'm just
like the stood up you stood up turned around over the left shoulder is it the right shoulder that you look back on because
that matters dude you know no no i just
lifted the balls out the way that's all i did right
and this psychopath doesn't even stand up he just looks between his legs
but you know why i had to hold the balls you know why because
the water no it was that big the water level was rising i was like uptight uptight uptight
you're you're displacing too much water just gave birth to bro bro i leaned to one side
that's how bad it got right i was like is it all finished i had to make sure it was
chopped off at the like entry point you know what i mean oh exit point I was like, is it all finished? I had to make sure it was chopped off at the, like, entry point, you know what I mean?
Oh, exit point.
I was like, leaning to one side, like, holy folk.
You remind me of, you know, those birds that use water, or sorry, that use stones to displace water, you know, in pools of water or, like, in a bottle of water.
That's kind of what I'm imagining.
An ape realizes it can shit in a pool of water and it brings the water level up a little bit
so he could drink it a little bit better.
Dude, have you never been,
have you never been carried away, though?
It's an Archimedes theory, isn't it?
Have you never been carried away, though, right?
Where you, like, get up...
It's Archimedes.
Three or four in the morning
and then you're, like, fucking...
You're, like, going for a fucking piss, right?
And you're sitting down because you're wrecked
and you're half asleep, though, and then you're just having a banging shit, right? And then the fucking water level rises and you're like going for a fucking piss right and you're sitting down because you're wrecked and you're half asleep though and then you're just having banging shit right and then
the fucking water level rises and you're paying no attention next thing you know your balls are
in the water and you're like oh me fucking life's over here i need a shower fucking three in the
morning like it's the worst anyway good afternoon good evening rama how you doing brother you came
at the right time salvation by kangaroo uh hi yeah uh what a time to walk into the uh
over 40s uh anonymous club it's uh nice to be here some years early but here i am
have you been there well rami you would have enjoyed it earlier we were talking about the uh
neo-statism socialist communist marxist takeover of
new york city george like i'm going to florida not just fucking new york city have you seen so
there's the i tweeted it earlier i posted it earlier um the fucking dumb cunts here actually
i should be very mindful of what i say i think i had to KYC to get my fucking dumb blue checkmark.
If you go to report an account now, report a post as an Australian, you have this lovely option now to report it. It's specifically, so any person can do it, I think, but like you go report posts,
scroll all the way to the bottom. Illegal content in Australia. This form is provided to enable Australian end user
to report illegal content accessible in Australia.
So that's the state of the fucking dog shit country that I live in,
that a global platform like X that loves free speech
and has big dog Elon in charge,
now has to conform to the stupid fucking left-wing government
because you don't like something on your social media feed you can now report it so the government
can see it see if the users KYC'd and then take them to jail how cool was that bro bro in the last
month in the last month they've fucking blocked all the porn sites here and they're fucking banned
the weed again and they're about to go to war with cambodia so i think we're all down horrendous at this point
there's only the americans that are having a little laugh and that's the ones that are in
red states and whapping their guns around like billy the kid and you know what i
mean brother no i got failure rama rama is that similar to i saw news yesterday about a big swath of arrests in Germany over
basically like online speech that they're deeming as hate speech or insults to politicians
which apparently is one of the restrictions for their freedom of speech I didn't know if
that's like a similar sort of thing as you guys got going on
in Australia.
So it's in Australia,
it's a bit different.
Like I know Americans,
you can get like sued for defamation and stuff really easily.
It's a little harder in Australia for that stuff,
but like the hate speech laws have been consistently tweaked over time.
So in,
and it's,
it's similar to America in that it's mostly state controlled.
There's not a whole lot of federal kind of laws around like what's deemed
hate speech.
Victoria is just gone.
It's like a lost state.
We should cut them loose from the country.
There's like all like hate speech laws around like religion,
gender ideology,
which is ridiculous over the top.
But in terms of like,
you know,
tweeting or posting at the,
the current prime minister or a politician and call him a fucking retard.
Like you can't go to jail for that.
But if you were to call him,
you know,
probably something that's a little bit more directly hateful,
you'd probably get in trouble. Gotcha. So he's talking about germany he's talking about germany
germany is the experimenting ground for what's happening across europe von der leyen ursula
von der leyen she wants like a clamp down on the whole thing at the minute uh the uk is enacting
these blasphemy laws right so like you, like, you couldn't say anything.
Like, you can't say, oh, the Prophet Muhammad took a pre-view-best-nine-year-old girl
as his fucking wife.
Like, that would get you locked up in England under the new blasphemy laws.
There's fucking hell on about it right now.
I can't, listen, I'm just going to say this.
I can't believe I'm in Thailand and I feel like I've got more free speech than most people in the western world especially in europe it's
unbelievable there's people getting locked up for tweets right or facebook posts longer than rapists
and pedos lucy conley just go and google lucy conley look at her sentence for putting some herty words on facebook
man a mother of a young kid that like 31 months in prison all right and you've got rapists getting
six months and that walking free that man it's so bad like i tell you i'm i'm not
gone back to england ever on principle me i don't care if my parents die and i'm saying this era
now and i've been thinking it for a long time. My mother kind of knows it.
No, I'm not.
You should apply for US citizenship
and then document how long it takes
and what the process was like to do it legally.
I think that would be an interesting...
Would I want to come and work for ICE?
That would be pretty cool.
Well, don't do that
because then a lot of people
aren't going to like you when you get here.
I don't care.
I want to come to 110,000 new ICE't care i want to come into one ten thousand new
ice agents i want to come to america and work for ice and round up speedy gonzalez
it's an odd uh american dream to have or like being you know oh look who's here
red eyes she's she's entered here we'll go because she you know what she saw that she
woke up late stoned and saw the kangaroo and she's like what am i missing out on
should we keep her down there should we keep her down as a listener
we all need our beauty i need i need a back i need to be back in a good books uh rama b
bands is forming with me yesterday because you're so rightfully so you dm'd some thirst
which item should i tick off the list like it's pretty easy you'd piss off b-bands it's like
hmm dickhead hmm bro bro she dm'd some thirst traps right so i was like like joking like where was she yesterday right
and so i screenshotted it and sent it in or to the rock fm group chat and she just went off it
anyway oh no i'm not playing don't do that again no more pictures for you okay okay mama okay mama
yeah we've been talking about loads of things though b bands listen
from now on we're just going to use the word neo-statism right all of us right for these
socialist champagne drinking communist marxist wannabe around idiots right we're just going to
call them neo-statists or neo-statism from now on this
show because i got a dm about this and it must have been when i was talking about umdani the
other night when we had the big one like 70 people on or something and like so why why am i keep
calling people socialist uh communist marxist like at the same time like people like i think
and that there's a difference between these terms in the modern day and age and there's just not so for ease of everybody listening
we're just going to combine them neo-statism it's all of it all of it motherfuckers
letters like everybody else does that's too much for me can we just lgbt is
Can we just...
LGBTQ, DT, G, T, G, S.
Listen.
I love Dairy Queen.
Well, listen.
Listen, if you ask the average man in the street,
the average man who might want to vote
and might think, you know, he's in the north.
If you ask the average man or average person,
what is the difference between the three terms, right,
of socialism, communismism and Marxism right
How many people would actually be able to give you
A relatively like articulate answer
Probably round about what
1 or 2%
I'm not even going to lie
I don't even know
I wouldn't even know
I would say the same thing for all of them
They take from me and give to other people which is bullshit
I had a 300mg gummy Last night They say the same thing for all of them. They take from me and give to other people, which is bullshit.
I had a 300 milligram gummy last night.
After that, I'm not really sure what happened. That's how you start Funky Friday.
That's how you start Funky Friday.
And so I woke up this morning.
I don't know.
I woke up.
Apparently, I made rice and beans, eggs.
What's your woman on the munchies?
Oh my goodness.
I woke up this morning.
I'm like, what happened?
Was your woman on the munchies?
I don't know.
He had 300 milligrams too.
Oh, I love the munchies.
Like, you can't stop it, can you?
I think it would be hilarious as a kid, you know,
to wake up and basically see, like,
the remnants of your parents partying the night before.
It's just like, Jesus Christ,
they went pretty hard last night, I guess.
It's like there's fucking rice literally all over the floor,
everywhere, you know, beans,
everywhere, tortillas scattered.
And you wake up with a half-eaten
burrito next to you in bed.
Can we get a break of news?
So, ladies and gentlemen,
we will change the title, because I do want to
find out what's going on in crypto, right?
But the hashtag and the title because i do want to find out what's going on in crypto right but the uh hashtag and the title is scotus the cunts the lazy motherfuckers you know they've gone on
holiday today for fucking three months you know they're gonna come back look tober it's dd in the
courts for trump though for people who don't know there's uh it starts at nine o'clock as well there's
six major cases including the uh birthright uh citizenship
uh that's a big uh what's the other big one again i sent it to you two anyway in the group
chat you two should be backing me up right now but not her she had a 300 gram
fucking millie uh gummy last night so we're getting out out the b-bans uh did you read
the article ready i still feel i still feel high so just
if we were having this conversation tomorrow i'd expect the same comment from you as well
wait a minute i i gotta jump in here for a second bro did you say 300 milligrams 300
milligram gummy yeah i had to google that myself of course i'm taking the piss
of course it was 300 milligrams 300 ng they gave me these like sour belts
oh my god we were out at nft nashville and the the night before uh the the event somebody gave
me a 10 milligram gummy i've never taken them before, but 10 milligrams. Yeah, that's plenty.
That put me on fucking Pluto.
I cannot even begin to imagine.
Dude, I was interdimensional because I don't even know how anything happened yesterday.
Bands, do you get like supersonic hearing when that happens?
Like you could like pick up frequencies from like six blocks away because that's what happens to me no but i can i can feel my hair growing
10 milligrams and i can feel my eyeballs lubricating themselves i cannot even imagine
300 milligrams my My goodness.
Good on you for being alive.
Yeah, that is a lot.
I usually tap out around 30.
And that's even like on the higher end for me.
So, yeah, B-bands is stronger than all of us up here.
No, I'm like, I don't do that all the time i tap out at 50 milligrams
this is like you know every once in a blue moon i haven't done this in i have a question actually
for bands bands how good do pierogies taste two hours after you take that like frozen pierogies
do you ever make those do you know what oh first of all how do you know i have pierogies in my
refrigerator everyone how did you know that?
I don't even eat them.
I have them there just for a special occasion.
Like what you described.
The hell is a pierogi?
You and all people should know.
I live in Des Moines, dude.
What the fuck is a pierogi?
You have no Polish people out there in the Midwest?
Well, my family's back
dude but we have we have whole stuff but we don't we don't have that shit so pierogies it looks like
a ravioli but it's just got mashed potatoes inside instead of cheese and and they have all different
kinds like they'll have onions and um garlic sometimes they'll have cheese in the potatoes
and it's you put sour cream on it and um yeah they're pretty good you could buy them in the supermarket
the frozen section you just boil them for like
five minutes and they're cooked yeah I can't
have pasta or potatoes
or carbs or anything that really matters
anymore so wow you're so righteous
for two weeks on a fucking diet
you've lost a lot of weight
guys I need to
I'm actually happy for you because it's
hard to it's hard to even mentally wrap your head around no carbs as an as an american especially
but the fact that you got through it and you seem to have done it like with
zero complaining or hiccups is pretty impressive i gotta say so wait a minute i want to finish off
the breaking news very quickly because then i want to find out about some crypto if there is any fucking news.
I can't believe I forgot this one.
The other Supreme Court fucking shit today.
So there's six cases up in front of them
and they've got to decide on them all today, right?
Because they're finished until October.
So there's the birthright citizenship,
which was originally given to the children of slaves, right?
After the emancipation
however the other one is the big one in my opinion bigger than the birthright citizenship is the uh
can federal judges limit the executive powers so you know all of these national injunctions
that they've been like what hundred and is it nearly 170 now national injunctions like all over in federal in
local courts around america right so i mean they should they should be able to do that the problem
is a proper emergency has not been declared no no the only no no the supreme court is the only
fucking court in the land that can uh halt the executive power in regards to like a foreign
like the foreign policy
and all that sort of shit right which is
like what the deportation shit is right
the illegal immigrants like that that's a federal
thing so I agree but
they're overriding state
they're overriding state law enforcement as well so there's
no reason why other judges should not
have their finger on the pulse of this
because this this
could get out of hand the what's um what people are okay with is that the president ran on this
issue but ordinarily i don't i think that the judges should be allowed to limit or at least
question and and lay out guidelines for this i think that it should be declared an emergency to
be honest with you i'm gonna give you i i'm going to give you my prediction defense should be involved
department should be involved joe tell me if i'm right with this prediction i think
sure that i think that i think the judges will get limited power right to stop the executive
actions i think like on things like foreign policy etc i think the judges are going to get squashed right the local judges etc but i
think that i think the birthright citizenship i think at least amy coney barrett will side with
the liberals all the liberals are going to be on that side right there's no siding it's very cut
and dry like if the law says you were born here then then when you're born here, you're a citizen.
What shouldn't be allowed is that the parents automatically get citizenship as well.
So what they can do and solve the problem, which I know they could solve the problem,
but they're not on purpose, just like everything else.
So they could run on this issue every two to four years.
If I'm here on vacation, me and my wife, she has a baby.
The baby is a citizen. citizen however the baby can't
live here as an infant by themselves so either the baby lives with a relative that is a citizen
or you go back to your country until the baby is 18 years old and then the baby can choose
to exercise the citizenship and move to the United States it's really not that hard so
they're purposely not solving this issue
with common sense in order to draw this out over decades this was an issue like in the 90s when
bill clinton was the president probably even before i just happen to remember that time because bill
clinton was like uh i think he was like just always in the news and everyone liked him right so
it's very easy to solve this issue just to add to this joe judge but i i i i 100 agree
and i probably have a slightly different take not being an american with uh that's fine nations like
we're an island but we have a very similar thing and we've got kind of agreements with new zealand
so uh i've got family that are both new zealandalander and Australian and their children have been born in
both Australia and New Zealand and the way that the agreement is between the two countries is that
if your parents are either nation when you are born as a child you can get dual you get dual
citizenship so you can you can have an Australian and New Zealand passport if your parents are both
Australian and New Zealand regardless of where you are both Australian and New Zealand, regardless of where you're born.
That gives you the flexibility to then move between the two countries depending on where your family wants to live.
I think that's what happens if you're born on a military base.
Like if you're an American soldier, right, and you have a kid on a military base that's like, let's say, in Japan, I'm pretty sure that kid's a dual citizen of Japan and the the united states i'm not 100 sure i know they're at least a citizen of the u.s even though they're
born in japan right but it's it's a very simple thing to to to decide and it could be done look
i i'm not i don't know anything right i wake up in the morning i I make my coffee. Sometimes I even fuck up my coffee.
But I could easily solve this issue if only I was appointed to a no-show job
in the federal government.
I could solve this.
A no-show job.
Listen, I knew you were mafia all along.
I knew you were mafia.
A no-show job and the government fucking hell
you stink that's it because my my regular job you know i'm an insurance agent that also is in the
concrete business i would need a no-show job in order to collect that salary and not have to give
up my other sources of income but but no to answer something else about rama the reason why this issue is so cut and dry is because in the 90s there were stories of like like people would come
from cuba on like a raft and they would get to the shore of florida the woman's already in labor
giving birth on the fucking raft so then what happens with that kid do they have to touch sand
do they have to be out of the water?
You know, so there's some extreme cases that are not the norm that stick out for me. But for me,
the norm is this. You overstay a visa, you get pregnant on purpose, and you have a baby. And
the idea is the baby's automatically a citizen because they're born here. Now the gray area
for the parents depends on what state they're
in probably or who appointed the judge in the place that's going to decide this and it's so
easy to decide it's it's it's ridiculous that people with law degrees and they have all these
books in their office can't figure out like how simple it is to solve this they don't want to
solve it well you just make it even more simple uh and it doesn't matter necessarily where you're born it's based off your parents nationality right but the
law is if you're born here you're a citizen so you have to change the law which i'm okay is that
in the constitution or is it just a law it's just something some old person said that's on a dollar
yeah we'll change the fucking law it's dumb that's exactly right or you change the law like if it's
not in the constitution just change the shit. No laws ever get changed.
They just keep adding laws.
If you become an American citizen, then all of a sudden
your child can get citizenship
because you're a citizen.
It doesn't make sense for the parents
to get citizenship. It makes total sense
based on what the law is, which is cut and dry.
If they become eligible
to be your citizen, then your children
can be citizens too.
What should happen is they should eligible to be a citizen then your children can be citizens too right but
they should what should happen is they should have to leave the country and apply and it doesn't
matter that you're kidding yeah i'm not disagreeing with that yeah yeah yeah no i'm just saying it's
very simple it's so it's it's retarded that this is still an issue like it will never get solved
and i don't understand it's the same with abortion too too. Like, it's very cut and dry. Like, is it a medical procedure or is it not? If it's a medical procedure, then why does a politician get to weigh in on it? If it's not a medical procedure, and it's always argued in a gray area where both extreme sides
could be exactly right at the same time or exactly wrong it's it's it's kind of dumb that we're
fully enough fully enough i want to talk to you about that in a minute so we'll come back to the
abortion because i do have something to say about this in regards to dei and where we originally
came from but red eyes had his hand up very
patient for a long time Red Eye appreciate it well I've got a a question for Scott that I guess we
can circle back on we talked about this earlier in the week but I'm curious just because I know
Scott's got a little bit more knowledge about uh the the U.S. military and its history uh they had
called the the strikes on Iran the uh some of most, if not the most secretive and successful or secretive and complex military operations in the history of the United States.
I guess I was curious on your take on the way they described that.
But as far as news—
Two planes, beautiful planes.
Plains, beautiful planes.
As far as news, I'm seeing Trump administration is reportedly discussing possibility of providing Iran access to as much as $30 billion to build a civilian energy producing nuclear program.
As well as easing sanctions and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds to try and de-escalate tensions.
Yeah, that sounds exactly what people voted for.
I mean...
I'm sorry, what was the question?
My question for you, Scott, was like,
what do you think the claiming that the strikes in Iran
were the most secretive and complex military operations
in U.S. military history?
Do you think that's an accurate statement?
Well, a lot of it did have to be done very, very secretively
because if they would have talked to Congress and all that stuff,
which, again, he's under no obligation to do.
He has carte blanche to do that with the secret.
They'd have leaked it without even guessing.
It would have been leaked.
It would have been put out.
Iran would have known those bombers were coming.
They would have known the exact flight path, the exact time, the exact everything.
So I think when he said secretive, he meant you got to keep it from the people who are going to spill it because you know damn good and well that they would have and
then we would have been in a position to lose three b2 bombers so yeah in a roundabout way they
were very secretive you can't tell anybody shit in this entire administration either side of the aisle because uh yeah they they they'll
they'll absolutely go and they'll leak it so yeah i i agree with that that it was secretive
but it was kept completely from congress that's fair i guess my mind immediately went to like
you know the the creation and the dropping of uh the nuclear bombs, I guess, naively, I figured that would have been at the top of the most secretive and or complex operations.
But, you know, tech has changed quite a lot since.
Yeah, but that was also at a time when we were all on the same side and we're not anymore.
I mean, everything is politicized up and down up and down the the
and that was a declared war right now and that was a declared war with an objective and an exit
strategy and and nothing since has followed that that formula that's a good point actually
if that makes a difference because like you said everyone's on the same page meaning the executive branch and
all of congress and also all the citizens with the allies and whatnot so um i would also say that the
nuclear weapons now are probably a thousand times more destructive than what we dropped
in japan oh babe you have no idea yeah they would alter the fucking plate
they would alter the plate tectonic
movements
you're talking about
nuclear winter stuff
can we welcome
everyone else to the conversation
let's just say GM everybody
we've got people here
listen guys
it's just not only about you okay no we want to get people in as well
no i'll get as many topics as funky friday hello he came in he hasn't said anything how you doing
oh doing good chilling putting some orders together how's it going with you guys
not bad mate we've got a few more uh few hundred hits on uh happy ending the day
because i reposted it out getting ready for a bit of funky friday as you do any more skunks or not
brother no thank god oh man it's the season two i've been watching every time i let my dogs out
i don't want that to happen again oh my god but on b-band's topic of edibles you
guys are making me feel like a degen when i eat 500 milligrams a shot just for fun not trying to
toot my own horn or nothing but fuck come on guys step it up it's legal now you went to theobahn
how many how many milligrams did you do for the theo bond concert a lot right
so i ate 400 right after dinner and then that kicked in right when the first act got on stage
it was perfect by the time theo hit the stage i was dying i don't think i stopped laughing the
whole time and then on the ride home i dropped another 200 just for the ride it was a good fucking time
here's the thing though isn't it just cheaper to just do heroin and then that much yeah i think
yeah
holy fuck you guys probably is it probably is but i mean the feeling is unmatchable on edibles it's my opinion i was i drank a five milligram
seltzer and i'm fucking whacked like for for like 12 hours dude when we used to envy that tolerance
dude when we used to grow back home and we used to make proper butter you know what i'm talking
about right holy fuck dude i'm telling you this shit man in the fridge just like literally using
it like normal butter but
lethal as right here we go look the room's full now uh sentinel gm well good afternoon to you
isn't it so now you're doing you all right yeah gma um i accidentally joined as a speaker but i
forgot that it's actually better audio quality when i do that. I'm sure I'll say something
retarded.
Have you got any controversial takes?
Have you got any controversial takes for us?
You've been listening.
No, just
other than the fact that Sentinel
is single-handedly
keeping Cosmos relevant.
Looking at map of zones.
No one's fucking using Cosmos. we're there of our apps doing it
so we wear the crown with a king
i've got something very fun i have seen the stats sentinel uh yes uh yeah leading the charge in a in a dead or dying ecosystem yeah in a downwards momentum
the the great thing is that you can just continue to run your shit on your own and you don't need
to worry about anyone else or anything else uh after my my tweet the other week of being like
i'm done from cosmos i'm out uh i was asked asked a few questions to answer as to why I was leaving.
It was very funny.
And I was asked if I could do it on voice and I said no, because it was like 1am.
So I wrote a Google doc and I called it Cosmos exit interview.
And I answered in as you would would expect fashion it's very funny
yeah send over the document let's see it we um for Cosmoverse last year we like had a bit of a
joke with calling one of the panels is Cosmos dead obviously we know that name and not naming names but quite a lot of people were like genuinely annoyed that we called it that right but kind of is we're there we're using it projects use the SDK that's that's what they need to do they don't need to feed back into cosmos central has the same issue a lot of the um subscribers that we have
and pay multiple different currencies um me from the down trying to put in some like ponzi nomics
almost it's not ponzi nomics but the idea of buying back and forcibly creating like buy pressure
on a ever inflating token right but yeah there's not much bite on it but yeah
there we've got subscriptions people paying in fiat some people care about wanting to pay in
different currencies or p2p or even fear and yeah just got to deal with it and
got to run with it but i shall wear the crown and govern appropriately.
I don't know if you guys have seen, sorry, total pivot.
I'm just keeping an eye on news and stuff.
Have any of you guys seen talks about this new US-China rare earth minerals trade deal going on.
Basically, China is going to start accelerating the export of rare earth minerals to the United States,
with the United States canceling a series of restrictive measures taken against China accordingly.
Part of the deal, or out of the deal, right?
But we always knew, we always knew,
we always knew the needed China's rare earth, though, man.
That was obvious.
Well, I wonder if it's not just what's there in China.
I mean, China's ability to access rare earth minerals goes way beyond its own sovereign boundaries i mean they're yeah like insanely yeah but they're
also super uh active in africa as well um did you hear yeah but did you hear uh trump talking about
selling energy to china or not at nato when he was kicking you know
when they took the q a no i did not oh yeah yeah you got a couple of questions about china like
and he was like well i buy him mostly from iran i don't want to stop that i want the arenas to get
money he's like but you know if they wanted some i'd give them some like blah blah blah like i
like but you know if they wanted some i'd give them some like blah blah blah like i
you can he always puts like little things he's a grandpa in his heart he wants to be able to take
out a hundred dollars a wad of hundreds break off a hundred and give it to a random iranian
and feel like for the community like here go get yourself something nice uncle don's got you
well you've seen exactly what's happening all over Syria, right? You've seen it. No,
you've seen the, like the, the pictures, the billboards of like Trump all over Syria, all
over Damascus. No, have you actually seen it? I have not seen it. Oh dude, man. They're
all wearing make Syria great again. Caps in that man. And it's like in Damascus, there's
like seven different huge massive like billboards bro
and they like loving trump interesting oh the syrian people was this after he uh
listed the sun the u.s is gonna stop their sanctions on syria yeah yeah soon as i had that meeting oh dude damascus is kicking right off man the main dude i mean
we can talk all day about them being x this or x that but he's talking about like trade routes he's
talking about tourism like who was there was a there was a senator or representative on fox the
other day who was talking about like you know jerusalem and damascus are the two most holy
sites in the world he's like for people to actually be able to say, like, go to the Middle East, right?
Go to Damascus and Jerusalem, like, while they're out there, would just be a huge thing.
But they're loving them.
And you know something?
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see the same kind of, like, turnaround with Iran.
I mean, it all depends on what have they got left to negotiate over.
Have they got, like got like what 400 kilograms of
enriched uranium stash somewhere that they'll be able to i think it was like just under 300 if
i'm not mistaken or like yeah but like let's say they've got it out of four do and they stashed
it somewhere else that's what i'm saying here is like like was it all destroyed that enriched
uranium or have that actually still got something like that's the only thing they've got to bargain over they've got nothing else dude they can't even
protect the skies over their own country how bad is like how bad a level do you get to when you
can't control your own sovereign airspace like iran's got nothing now they might as well take the syrian route right
yeah i'm not sure i'm just thinking out loud i don't know uh what percentage of countries actually could maintain their airspace
against the formidable you know air force in the middle east right now a
lord there's loads of countries
Would give Israel a run for the money
In regards to air defences
Easily
It's just that they managed to be able to take out Iran
So quickly and efficiently
Wait guys
The new mayor of New York City
Said that violence
Is an artificial
Construct
You didn't hear what Mandy said? I'll punch that said that violence is an artificial construct.
You didn't hear what Mandy said?
I'll punch that cunt in the nose.
I'll punch that cunt straight nose.
He wants to release everybody from the jails.
I read that quote.
I didn't get it.
I was kidding.
Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?
They've been doing that already.
It's working out great.
What they do is they just don't report the crime to the FBI.
So it's like crime is going down,
guys.
I think we should export all of our criminals from across
the country and dump them in NYC.
If it's an artificial
construct, knock yourself out, bro.
And then we have escape from New York and now enjoy it. You had a, knock yourself out, bro. Well, they're going to come here voluntarily.
And then we have Escape from New York and now enjoy it. Dude, you had a chance to get out and you didn't.
All right. Kurt Ross is coming to get you.
I have an extra life insurance policy if I
get killed at work, so my wife will get like
an extra $100,000 if something happens to me.
Oh, that's so...
It's pretty sweet. I only pay like $18
per year for that policy.
It's the highest... the it's the highest um
i would say the highest risk reward asymmetric bet that i've taken the last 10 years
how long do you have to be dead for to claim it because could you not like die for like five
minutes on the operating table type thing quickly cash it in and then miraculously you uh oh that i don't know
i just saw like oh this is only nine dollars i'm not being serious if you want what i'll do is i'll
scan it and i'll i'll share it with you on google drive if you want well i wonder what happens if
you uh like let's say you transition you know from a man to a woman or a woman to a man and you're no longer
that person anymore you know they consider it dead naming referring to the previous name you had
do you think that you could you know exercise a life insurance policy on your former
pre-transition self i'll let you know after the next election you know, because gender is a construct. I think if you can't, then that's just discrimination.
Yeah, no, I could easily identify with a marginalized group.
And like, let's say like dead people are a marginalized group.
If I identify as dead, I should be able to collect the policy now while I'm alive.
I would think that would go over quite well.
I'm sure there's a form to fill out for that.
New York City is all about forms.
Yeah, but if you're legally dead and walking around,
aren't you a zombie at that time?
No, I identify.
I'm fine with.
I identify as legally dead.
Death is a social construct.
That's what you're not getting here.
You probably can't understand
it can you be murdered if you're already legally dead that's the thing how many times can i cash
that check that's was dead to never die right or at least that's how the saying goes so probably not
well it depends if you're murdered by another um minority group i guess if you're if you're
if you're murdered by like a white guy but yes you would be there's a bonus for that um yeah no
there's this this privileged group and yeah there's a 15 bonus if i if i get killed by um
basically anyone who's ever taken ozempic or zoloft i probably get like
a 15 bump on that we'll see i'll let you guys know after the next election there's going to
be fucking no rules it's going to be great i need any problem i have i'll just call my union
well it'll probably be good to you know continue taking above ground transportation
below ground transportation might get a little sketchy in the next few years that's what i do
actually i i walk above ground and i've been taking video of my walks i haven't caught anything crazy
the last couple days but i just put them on my youtube shorts and people like them it's just me walking through
walking through queens foreign country queens
do you strap a gopro to your head no i just hold my phone in front of me
okay does this does it smell like tinkle that's the one thing i can't live stream smell so you guys are going
to have to use your imagination it's like yeah right you can't smell me that is currently
working on joe if you haven't uh heard about this you know have you seen their new uh the ai
glasses that they've got they're working on technology to be able to live stream smell so b-band is there is everybody sitting here processing that or it suddenly got
really really quiet sorry i was reading messages uh what was that right on? Oh, I was asking what's going on in your neck of the woods.
I don't know because I took 300 milligrams.
I don't know what happened yesterday.
I don't remember.
Like, I'm not even, like, exaggerating right now.
I'm trying to remember.
How was, did any of those teachers that you were partying with yesterday get extremely
talented?
I didn't party with them. No, I was just watching them. No, I was just watching them.
We went out to dinner, I mean to lunch and they all like, it was like, cause they had
half day on the last day. They all came in hoping and hollering and celebrating. And then you see like a family with kids just,
never seeing the teachers that happy.
And they're like, yeah.
And then they're all freaking out.
And then they ask,
the place that we go to doesn't serve shots
because it's like,
if you order a drink, it has to be like meat.
You don't get like shots.
So they're like,
they're like, we want some shots.
All these teachers, I think there was probably like 12 teachers they all wanted shots and stuff and um they were like no sorry we don't
care yeah teachers don't teachers don't know how to behave at happy hour in general if you ever go
to happy they usually get there like two hours before everyone else and then by the time everyone else gets there they have to form like a buffer like a six six foot to stop the spread around the group of
teachers that just don't know how to act in public i've been there many times myself
yeah they're cute i was just watching them they were very happy you know i was like thanks for watching my kids when i don't
feel like it we're retarded i'm picturing joe on one of those pedal pubs going through
fucking new york city you know with yeah no you can't the reason why we don't do that
we have to be able to congratulate ourselves for just doing mediocre
jobs you know like hey nice job you
showed up today you deserve a shot pat yourself on the back wait no there's an award for this
oh shit how do i have your tell them how fucking liberal teachers are though tell them how bad it
is how warped they are they're they're all on drugs all i'm the only one that's not and they don't believe that they should ever be supervised
they they don't believe that they should ever be supervised at their job they think that they
should just police themselves and anything they do is good like they just did a good job no matter
what i want to tell rama i need i need to tell you i know this person that was, she was signed up to be, what is that, the teacher's, not teacher's aide, but like, when the teacher's out, a substitute.
And she, the dumbass went into the bathroom with a J and smoked in the teacher's bathroom.
I'm fucking stupid. in the in the teacher's bathroom stupid in elementary school you retard so everybody in town knows this this person who
did this she got fired obviously the town like the state has her fingerprints like her fingerprints
are registered with the state what a dummy no they didn't i mean she didn't but she didn't
they didn't press charges or anything they're like that's insane to me you should have told her
about edibles you should have had a freaking or like a little concentrate pen that you can't even
she should have been doing it at all yeah you probably shouldn't be smoking in elementary
school first of all she shouldn't have that job she shouldn't be a teacher how about that yeah
that's also a good point she was a yeah they definitely she's not allowed but every time i see her i always remember that
you freaking retard why would you do that and then she tried to lie and say no it wasn't me like
joy joy smells so bad it's all over you stupid now i I have another question for Joe, because we've been on the subject of
teachers for so long. You said the teachers, you know, by and large are liberal, well, at least in
New York City. Do you think there's a sizable population of them that are pro allowing teachers to have a gun in the classroom uh i don't know has this conversation it's probably surfaced every once in a while
after you know a school shooting happens where people are like oh we need to either provide
better security or arm the teachers i don't know i i mean we have metal detectors in most not most schools but a lot of the schools
i don't know how to answer that i i would not be in favor of that most teachers wouldn't qualify
to to own a weapon in new york because of the medications they're on and whatnot and and you
know the first question on on the the the checklist is do you smoke marijuana so it's like that's 50 gone right there i would be in
favor of like a roaming armed security where you don't know where they're going to be on any given
day but they're popping into schools and you know they have some type of um responsibility for
inspecting the school i don't know i don't know there's no there's no good way
to do it like once a shooter enters a building they don't stop shooting until they run out of
bullets like that's the main problem with the school shooting what we should we should you know
they can't get in so i don't know i don't think i was just curious i hear i hear this argument like at least in the south
a lot of people will say who run their mouth that aren't teachers are very pro teachers being armed
themselves but thinking back when i was in school fucking none of those teachers i would want to
you know 100 yeah but what if you what if you legally own one? You should be allowed to have it. Teachers are so fucking stressed out.
They're doing the job of parent, daycare, therapist,
trying to educate kids that don't want to be there.
Their job is so much higher stress than when we were in school
like 20 years ago, 25 years ago,
that you put your arm teachers.
There's going to be a kid that like wants to
walk up and punch that teacher the teacher is going to pull the fucking gun out and shoot that
kid and then like you're in all sorts of trouble in hell like it's way too high stress to give them
guns i think i remember there's a position like i remember seeing a story where there was a an
intruder that was armed in a building and one of the administrators had a pistol in their car
and they ran out to their car got the pistol came back to the school and took out the guy i don't
know what that might have been in south carolina actually or georgia and i remember reading that
so then i'm thinking like what if there was were guns strategically secured all around the building
and if there was a licensed you know trained employee
who had like access to that safe in the event of an emergency maybe that would work but then you
have just guns all around the school that's not good so there's no good way to do it yeah like
you're gonna have like a break proof box like a vault that's like then you're gonna try and get to it and but like then time but the thing about new york is also like
you can't just like discharge weapons like in like you can in the south where like you could
just step out your front door and just like shoot your pistol up in the air like that is not a thing
in new york so people are are not mentally prepared to like hear gunshots like that it's just different culture
the culture in New York City is not
even New York State
my brother told me the other day that
now you need special permission to even have a rifle
right so it's like
where?
in New York State?
yeah in Long Island
is he in Long Island?
but Long Island theoretically should be same rules as upstate, right?
So, because it's a state law, so it should affect the state.
Yeah, New Yorkers, they changed their rifle laws.
And in New York City, it's almost impossible to get a pistol.
It's legal, but it's almost impossible.
The hoops that you have
to jump through like you would think that like okay there's there's a wait period there are forms
no they change the hours of operation of the office every month so that you don't even know
when it's when it's going to be open and they only allow a certain amount of people to get in
so it's like buying tickets to like a taylor
swift concert like it's it's really and even to renew an existing permit is not guaranteed
and you guys have something like a void card uh like in uh illinois or in chicago
i don't know it's like a separate license you have to have all the pistol licenses are
retarded so in in new york you apply for the pistol license before you're ever allowed to
touch a pistol because you're not allowed to touch a pistol without a license you have to get the
license first then you get the license and then when you buy guns you have to buy the gun and then
you have to go to the police station
and add the gun to your license
before you're allowed to possess the gun.
So you go to the gun store, you buy the gun,
you're not allowed to touch it.
You say, okay, I want that one.
They give you some paperwork, you go to the police station,
you have to add that gun to your license.
Then you go back to the gun store, show them,
look, that gun, then only that gun has been added to my
license they complete the sale and only then are you allowed to even know if you're capable of
shooting the gun so it's it's um it's really not it's it's bad it's and that's new york state that's
not new york city in new york state you are not allowed even with like a like you could go to the
nra website and
you could find like a retired military guy to train you on the gun but you're not allowed to
touch it unless you have the license and bought the gun already and then only your gun is allowed
to be handled by you you can't train with um somebody who's licensed until that whole process
and that process could take like a year could take like a year and
a half damn yeah yeah it's it's crazy and then in new york city the pistol licensing office
is only open a couple hours a month and it changes month to month so you don't even know and you have
to do this by the way you have to do the same process when you renew your license oh my god i
i went to the creek too i forgot that i went to the creek and i sang the pledge of allegiance there was some of my friends just sent me a video
of me at the creek screaming the uh the pledge allegiance and
when i when i when i went to uh tennessee my friend you, he's ex-military. He's got some toys.
He's got, like, a shooting range on his property.
So when I go there, he gives me, like, the whole, like, the safety spiel.
Right?
Like, every time I'm going, I'm like, hey, can you give me the whole rundown again?
And he goes through this whole, like, 10, 15-minute thing.
And I feel like that should be good enough in New York, if it's good enough.
And like Tennessee is like, has won wars for the United States, right?
Like, I feel like that, that, that should apply nationwide.
That is kind of, I mean, on one hand, like I get an, I, I get that you will have to combat higher crime rates with guns in bigger cities somehow.
And whether that be through tighter enforcement regulation or something else, I don't know.
But I do know, I mean, i mean like yeah in the south the
it's so easy to go buy a gun i mean for the longest time i could go proximity i could go
get proximity is a factor for crime right like if you have 10 000 people living in the same
apartment building whereas like in the south you have 10 000 people living over you know 20 square
miles the crime is going to be totally different oh yeah right yep but but if you look at gun crime specifically what percent of gun crime occurs
with a legally possessed gun it's probably like less than 10 percent right almost every
crime you read about the gun is either stolen the gun is purchased illegally or the person's
simply not old enough or not mentally fit to have passed the process in the first place
so it's it's really the the solutions for gun crime are um like we could all agree maybe like
violence is a problem right let's just all agree but like the solutions are absurd, especially in a place like New York where like you could push someone in front of the subway.
Right.
Like that happens from time to time, like maybe like once a day or once a week, someone gets shoved in front of the subway.
There is not a single subway station that has railings on the platform.
None.
Zero.
Zero.
So that actually would stop that problem but that's not that emotional
of an issue guns are a huge thing like it's it's uh it's an emotional issue to people have to wrap
their head around first damn that's crazy that they don't have rails on that none there are none what they have is they have this yellow um
it's like a yellow strip of rubber near the edge of the platform and then it says watch your step
like that's all it says it was like during covid when walmart put duct tape on the floor
like like they were like to tell you which direction you need to walk down
the aisles yeah yeah yeah you know like like or like they put this like magic tape they're like
this will repel the the witches and the demons of covet but in new york i'll take a picture and
you guys will see how dangerous the subway stations are i'll put actually i have one of the of the railroad station i'll put
because i take the i take the above ground railroad it's like the it's almost like business class
but i'll show you you can you can see the yellow yellow strip hold on
i'm gonna put it i'm gonna put it on the it in the nest,
and then you can see what the railroad looks like.
The subway is like that, but way more dangerous
because the platform's smaller, so people are more crowded,
and it's easy to accidentally get hit by a train.
So let me put this up.
You guys can see the...
This is Jamaica Station,
which I'm sure Bands is familiar with in Queens. You guys can see the, this is Jamaica station,
which I'm sure bands is familiar with in Queens.
Is nobody talking or, cause I was just walking around the kitchen not hear anything that is uh currently i'm already warriors on the uh new york system anymore what do you mean
oh Back in the 1970s, there was that documentary where all the different factions fought each other.
And they got attacked by the clowns.
That wasn't the clowns.
That was the baseball fury.
Come on.
Get it right.
That was a great movie.
It was a long documentary.
no it's a documentary so um i remember seeing like uh like bits pieces where they were like
really like thin not very toned looked like a bit hippie but they were like your protection
they like went on subway systems in new york to like protect people and it just like a moving
crack down i don't know why anyone would ever go on that that was that was the guardian angels yeah I I don't think that I've never seen anything remotely
close to that it's just like a bunch of people that hope for the best they get on the train and
every you know let's say one of every five subway trips there's an individual on on in your subway
car that is a problem it's. It's just how it is.
And what people do to protect themselves and fix the problem is they just stare at their phones and pretend nothing's happening.
They don't act even crazier?
Yeah, I always make sure when I'm in London, I always make sure to say good evening and hello to people.
Oh, my God. You would get get a shot on site for doing that i would never don't ever do that in the united states you would
get killed especially like the the ones who look like nutters as well i just say oh no no no why
would you why would you make yourself a target it would almost be you committing the crime at that point you would you're exciting
yeah well do you know when you like watch me when you're like walking through i don't know like uh
like a dark forest or in like a urban environment and you're thinking like oh
oh there could be like murders around the corner that's why you don't talk it's the wrong mindset
you got it's the wrong mindset you gotta think no i'm that murderer people are
thinking about me you have to think like a murderer you have to think like a murderer but
if you have to think like if you're a murderer and you're on the subway and you're like all right
who do i murder and you're looking around looking around no one's making eye contact
and then some foreigner from england gets on there and he takes off his top hat and he's like, good day.
Boom.
Like, that's the mark right there.
Like, obviously.
Yeah, that's what I need.
I need that.
I need that.
Probable cause is what we would call it.
I think you would be charged in that case if you survived the attack.
There's always a bigger fish.
You instigated it by saying hello i mean come on sir you don't say
good morning on the morning what the hell is wrong yeah it's racist isn't it yeah just racism
it's it's it's it's literally violence that's what it is it's a sign of privilege and it doesn't it
doesn't go over well on the subway i think that you should stop doing
that how old however old you are you're cutting your life expectancy down like doing that i would
say yeah man i uh i mean i did a small stint on the east coast you would get fucked up
i'm sure philly's even worse the brightest light burns you can come down to come down to the south
and you can say hello to
you know everyone and their mother and oh the south is a beautiful one time i was
crossing the street that doesn't happen until you cross the mississippi you're like i was at
mcdonald's once and i said please and the lady in florida was like why in the are you saying please
is that we got a problem and people look at you like someone with a wheelchair is coming out and they
don't realize you're holding the door for them okay florida is a little different but we'll say
the deep south i'll clarify deep south when i was in south carolina i was crossing the street
and somebody just said good morning and then as i was crossing the street they were coming
the other direction we're dead center of the street in downtown Columbia.
And the guy said, good morning.
I said, good morning back.
And then they stopped to talk to me in the middle of the street.
And I was like, ah, this is weird.
Do you not do that when you're like walking a dog in the morning and you're in your own town and you walk past someone you don't know, you say good morning?
Yeah.
Everyone just looks down. You look down. own town and you walk past someone you don't know you say good morning yeah that's just everyone
just looks that's just that's just you look down yeah that's your high trust yeah yeah that's
you're getting from here the head nod i i head nod the dog oh yeah i don't look at my do you ever
see how like bus drivers maybe it's just an english thing but um bus drivers when they drive
past each other but two buses they like either give
a thumbs up or a nod oh yeah hold on that's the kind of recognition that i need from people in
in a subway in new york i'm going tomorrow our bus drivers are surrounded they're surrounded by
bulletproof um plexiglass and they can't take their eyes off the passengers to do that because they could be
slaughtered as well.
It's happening. You're laughing.
It wasn't one that headed.
The taxi drivers
in New York City, the taxi drivers don't have to wear
seatbelts. You guys,
I'm sure Banz knows.
In New York City, there's a law. The bus drivers and
taxi drivers do not have to wear seatbelts.
The reason is people were getting in in the taxis this is not funny
but uh they're getting in the taxis and they were they were strangling the taxi drivers with
seat belts and then robbing them and taking the car i just want to know if anybody's going to be visiting North Korea's new resort.
Seems like he wants to boost tourism.
2.5 mile stretch of beach.
Can host 20,000 visitors.
I mean,
wow.
I want my passport stamped by the kingdom of North Korea.
Man, that's like,
you go there.
You think there's probably cameras and
all kinds of weird shit going on they're watching you there's nothing there's nothing good about
that you get a guide you're not allowed to go by yourself you have to get a government guide
yeah if you're an american that is the real life hotel california right there man not a chance when i show up there there's a documentary on it where people there was a british couple who used to run a tourism
industry into north korea and part of it was you'd go to china you hand in your passport so they
could obviously make copies of it obviously um and you go to a bar in the evening and they like be playing
like north korean music you'll be eating all the food i don't know like dog or whatever it is and
if you don't show that you're uh enjoying it you don't actually get to go into north korea and
they were saying that all the people in there are like working for the government um of north korea
they'll like evaluate you and whether um you can go in or not I'll try and bring
it up and yeah they went to like those different places they went to like a like a film studio
because North Koreans kidnapped some Japanese film director in the 70s who was making like
Godzilla type films and they kidnapped him to make like a north korean version of his godzilla film
but the interesting bit is is when they went down there it was it was the museum was filled with
um objects that king john had touched and like a list of actions and like um kind of directions he
had given to the director on how to make the film and all the people taking
around this museum were like yes he said 74 different directions i mean yeah he sounds
sounds like a brilliant guy it seems like brilliant system right it's definitely real
north korea is so it's not even funny when i was doing a tour in vietnam the the tour guide told us
that vietnam sends humanitarian aid to north korea and i was like
oh shit that is fucked up
it's like yemen yemen is sending aid to fucking north korea right now yeah when i was in south
korea they they have these these like centers these like i guess they're
like some type of social services provided but if they happen to get a um like a refugee from
north korea that's escaped they go to these like these centers where they get acclimated to um
like western western but like modern life so they they they oh dude it's a crazy process
toilets it's a crazy process i mean just yeah i i've read the yonmay parks books uh i don't know
if you she was a um political defector escaped north korean now does all sorts of humanitarian work but uh yeah talking about she escaped i believe
going up through china and then into mongolia and then from mongolia i believe to south korea
um but i'm sure you uh read her books for her authoring skills uh yeah yeah exactly
guy he hit right to the he flipped through the book
made sure see if it was illustrated and he's and he that's exactly what happened
i mean dude she because i think good authors i think good authors i immediately think north
korean refugee that's what i think paul's surprise winning north korean
refugees oh if you put that on the job application you for a government you you get it you just get
in that job it's not a comic book i'm fucking out north koreans are a marginalized group
but yeah the select i mean like going like going from not having to dedicate any thought or brainpower towards making your own choices.
And then having the choice for everything that you do in your life, understandably, can be extremely overwhelming.
Like what, even just something as simple as, like,
what do I want to wear?
You know?
Let alone, what do I want to do for work
and what do I want to...
Well, I imagine, like,
having the choice of what gender you are.
I mean...
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder... Yeah, I don't even know if they have like well i'm sure they exist but uh
i don't even know if the there is any wait what do you mean they don't you mean them
well i'm speaking uh about north korean population so it could be they and them.
But I wonder if they have any gay population.
I don't think...
These are the right questions to be asking.
This is why I woke up early this morning
to listen to this fucking dribble.
Yeah, they probably ate all those right off the bat.
Fuck yeah. Because they're always in shape so like they get eaten first you know it's like fucking venison over there lean as fuck
wow i'm gonna use that one the next time i'm out yeah that's such a good that's that was a good
one you know you know
what they call human when they eat it over there long pig
where's the bacon on the human same place the bacon is on the pig
i've never i've never butchered a pig, so I don't know. Was that the stomach?
Yeah.
Skin.
Make some chicharrones?
No, yeah, that's chicharrones, but
it's pretty red.
Have you ever made your own fresh
chicharrones?
Yes, it's a pretty common thing here, but have you ever made your own fresh chicharrones yes it's a pretty common thing here but have you ever seen them just hanging out in a shack down in mexico yeah kind of rad wait are you
talking about the big sheets of skin yeah like where they're hearing it's fucking yeah it's
it's kind of unsettling
are those like rival gang members and stuff are they all big gang fuck yeah
i'm sorry guys i'm called the gang this 300 milligrams still messing with me a little bit
and i'm about to smoke a joint so definitely not going to be of much use
uh you're trying to balance it out i see just some banana cold brew that's 35
fucking percent it's ridiculous cold brew
yeah cold brew coffee these days no it's fucking weed dude oh
i was trying to figure out what the fuck you were talking about. It's like 35% caffeine.
Jesus.
So they have these, they have like an ice cream shop and they do coffee and slushies.
And they put nano in the slushies.
And so you can decide, you're like, how many milligrams you want your slushie to be?
And you tell them and then they just like put the nano in there and you got like 200 milligram giant ass slushy where is this that's pretty dope i bought
a bunch of water soluble powder i just mix into my waters when i need to be discreet yeah it's the
best doesn't even smell because you can't eat this the nano you can't smell nothing the the county where i live you know unilaterally um voted to refuse all retail sales
of uh marijuana products which is wild because i thought greg abbott was totally gonna do that
this last week and he fucking vetoed that shit it was dope so they were like yes we want it
legalized but not here so they they must have delivery service from New York City.
Yes, we hate money.
Well, in New York, I don't think they were going to be able to make money off it.
It was like 48% fucking tax and stuff on the retail shops.
I promise you, I pay a 30% tax and they're printing money out of here.
I just figure all the bodegas, like all the street vendors will just sell it instead of
you know not having it in like one of the actual retail stores like in a building
new york city's got a bunch of retail stores but i think they butchered the process of
rolling out the licenses it's taken like three years well
it's still
100% criminalized
here so
still got some progress to make
where I'm at
so what do you do
they actually legalized it here through THCA
and hemp laws
like they passed a hemp law and they kind of
fucked everything up and so everything's legal.
Yeah, that is also true. And most of the, you know,
most of these Southern states don't have the funding to do any of the testing
that would be required to.
Yeah. To get your dabs tested,
they have to send it to Austin and it takes like seven months of like court
bureaucracy.
Yeah. Much easier to just tell someone to put that to Austin and it takes like seven months of like court bureaucracy. Yeah, much easier to just tell
someone to put that out or
throw it away
than to try and prove
that they were doing something illegal.
But it's still
in there, so technically if they
wanted to, you know, fuck around
they could.
Yeah, I don't know about where they're at,
but it's decriminalized up to two ounces here
since the 70s.
Damn.
That's nice.
Romer, do you guys have legalized cannabis in Australia?
Canberra, the capital of Australia,
has very limited legal weeds.
So you can like grow.
I think it's like a really dumb thing.
It's like you can grow.
It's either two or five mature plants for personal consumption.
And then outside of that, no.
Other than like medicinal.
So you can get medicinal.
That's fairly standard.
My state allows recreational six plants.
New York is six as well.
It's got like no one but politicians in it.
Like no one actually lives there.
It's got like a population of probably less than a million what's the output like or the yearly yield for like six plants it's got to be a
lot more than personal use because in new york it's it depends on how you're doing it if it's
like outdoor yes um it's gonna have you know your standard seasonal yield but if you trim it tiny
and short and run like a dwc hydroponic system
indoor you can practically harvest that thing non-stop and it's six plants per adult in the
household in new york that's the yeah it depends on the state and whatnot but that's how mine is
per adult living in on the property understood yeah no my i was at my cousin's house and he had
some plants and um he brings them in and out every night, I guess, so no one steals them.
And the plants looked fairly big.
They were like, I would say, a lot bigger than if you planted basil and just let it grow into that small tree.
that small tree yeah yeah they're big i i never i don't know anything if you uh
Yeah.
Yeah, they're big.
I don't know anything about them.
they're super cropping techniques whereas every little fork of the branch comes out to make that
big ass bush you flatten it by like doing little yoga on the stems while they're before they're
woody yeah i do like a sea green like i see a green thing like with netting to help uh with that
Like a sea green thing, like with netting to help with that.
Yeah.
My cousin is up near Colorado.
He's a commercial grower on like 200 acres.
It's so fun to walk through that field.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah, my buddy was part of the first hemp pilot program in South Carolina,
and he only did it on, I think, five acres.
And it's still pretty – I mean, for – my opinion, I think we see this a lot in more
mature markets, but, you know, all the distillates, everything going into edibles or salves and
stuff like that is going to be
coming from outdoor grown.
Your smokable flour
and your quality.
I think 75 pounds down
to extract
or whatever.
Yeah, I figured that's what most
of what people
who are doing outdoor grown.
Just because the cost per gram
is so fucking low relative to growing in a greenhouse or indoors.
So, yeah.
There's definitely a science to it all.
And then you get all these GMO autoflower things
and all that crap that just guaranteed to produce,
guaranteed to be female
you know stuff like that it's it's a new industry and i bet it's going to get weirder
i've got a buddy who's been in i mean that same buddy who is a part of that hemp pilot program
he's been working on some different uh i guess like alternative building materials for building houses and stuff and looking at trying
to use like hempcrete or various forms of hemp to build walls or partial structures within houses.
I mean, especially once it grows a little bit more, like even South Carolina is still really restricted in the number of farms that they let people grow hemp on.
Once it gets a little bit bigger, I think we'll start seeing more of these sort of alternative building materials.
Because hemp is, I mean, I'm sure you know five on it.
That shit is fucking insanely strong.
I could see it being a polymer of sorts in a mix for like the 3D printed houses maybe, but I know a big construction firm, like they own all the little shopping centers around town and commercial real estate, and they've got some 3D printers to speed up shit, and they're testing, you know, concrete that it'll print onto the foundation, but it prints all your cable hides and and
structural foundations like you know if you've ever seen a 3d printer work it puts that like
beehive in between the i'm picturing like i'm picturing like particle board but instead of
wood you use hemp like same sort of process well yeah that's kind of what i was saying when you
said hempcrete like it reinforces the concrete mix So if you have a whole bunch of hemp in there, it's kind of like chicken wire or rebar.
Same science.
Yeah, holy crap.
I'm thankful there was no hemp around when I was younger.
I mean, I'm just picturing a switch, like a hemp switch.
Holy shit.
It'll never break.
It'll never break.
Goodbye, Rarmo. I miss you, man.
Ray,
what's going on, sir?
Nothing.
I don't talk in recorded spaces.
It's bad business.
Bad business.
I liked it.
Happy Friday, everybody.
Happy Friday.
It's a beautiful day where I'm at.
I'm planning on probably going to go out to Buddy's farm here in just a little bit.
Help him out there. there yeah what are you
going to be doing on the farm uh currently currently clearing out like a three-piece
horse barn that was uh used kind of as storage well have you ever seen the show american pickers
storage well have you ever seen the show American Pickers or have you heard of it if not yes yes
okay yes so imagine that it's full of antiques family shit old horse carriages all sorts of
mechanical equipment all sorts of shit so part of what I'm doing is helping my buddy he's got a few semi
trailers he's trying to load up all that shit into and as payment for some of this I'm allowed
to just pick through the shit and take what I want so just it's kind of nice he's gonna find
like an old dusty 1996 right hand drive skyline sitting in the back of some crazy shit.
Yes, I'll keep you updated on what I find. But yeah, we were out bush hogging this past weekend and it's too hot to do that right now.
So wouldn't even fucking catch me dead doing that shit without snake boots in this time.
Oh, boy.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. doing that shit without snake boots in this time oh boy yeah yeah yeah snake boots and i had
overalls on and uh it was i mean the grass is like two and a half three foot tall that we're
walking through and also building a big ass burn pit probably got like a 10 by 10 square
of shit we're gonna be burning up probably in a few weeks actually burn pit. Probably got like a 10x10 square. Shit, we're going to be burning up
probably in a few weeks.
Actually, I might do that for 4th of July
now that I'm thinking of it.
That's the only close encounter I've ever had
with a rattlesnake.
I was running a bush hog
and I just thought it kicked a rock
or a stick at me.
And all I had was cowboy boots on.
No actually reinforced snake boots.
And that fucker was like stuck in my
boot i don't know how i had to go like slowly take off my shit after killing that fucker
and then whoa like it tried to bite you it tried yeah like it came out of like a there was a
railroad tie down on the ground and it came out from under there and it struck into my cowboy boot
and at first you know like while you're just weed eating or whatever, you think, oh yeah, something
just kicked back and hit my fucking boot. No.
There was a fucking snake stuck in it.
Luckily I had a giant blade on a
mechanic and I was like, pull.
So I was like, oh, let's fix this real quick.
Holy fucking shit, dude.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I don't have rattlesnakes
down here. Copperheads are
the biggest thing I gotta worry about, but Jesus Christ.
This was like almost 15 years ago, but it was like sketchy.
I had to go sit on the back porch after all that and like check my fucking ankles and stuff to make sure it didn't get me.
That's how like weird it was.
You might need to start carrying some antivenom on you when you go out to the ranch oh dude i
know a guy my brother's roommate used to all right so around the beer pong table they had
two baby rattlesnakes in a 10 gallon aquarium because redneck shit you know and uh jake would
get in there at night like and chase people around the beer pong table by holding one you know because
he was just weird but when you're really drunk you kind of do stupid shit and don't remember the
there's two snakes in that tank so when he was putting it back the other one got him and uh
a whole bunch of drunks you know well first things first is none of them think you know i'll just i'll
suck the finger out like let's just get it out and it's like that doesn't work let's take him to the
hospital so after 30 minutes of debate they finally take him to the hospital and it's like debating whether
they take his whole arm at that point and he lost the finger but it was like 1.8 million dollars in
anti-venom costs i think because they have to make that shit on site so yeah don't don't fuck
around with snakes mother nature isn't isn. Bro, you maybe need to...
This is making me think I might need to get into the anti-venom business.
Yeah, and then the thing is, you have to bring the snake or ID the snake before you get there.
Can you bring the snake with you when you come into the hospital?
Yeah, because they will not mix that shit unless they know what kind of snake bit you.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I learned a lot about that.
Why is anti...
Wait, hold on.
Why is anti-venom so expensive?
Like, I mean, they can't...
Yeah, they make it fresh.
But millions?
Like, millions of dollars for anti-venom?
Seriously?
Well, he needed 18 vials or some shit of it because of how much that little tiny
rattlesnake put into him but uh yeah it's like 200 and something thousand dollars per vial or
some shit or it comes out to a lot with american medical charges you know that's that's ridiculous
that's that sounds like too much you should have seen his arm though like they kept coming in with
a permanent marker,
and they started the wrist and started working up his whole arm
until they got to the bicep.
And every 20 minutes, they'd come in and measure the gap in between it.
And that's how fast it was swelling.
And every time that gap was like another half inch,
they'd be like, we're going to have to cut this fucking arm off, dude.
And he'd be like, no.
It was a sketchy 3 a.m. experience in a hospital.
It was pretty awesome
anybody been watching the uh dvpn chart or p2p as it's known now anybody been watching the
chart while we've been on the show or not someone bought who bought the dvpn
you mean p2p yeah well i put the chart in the fucking nest.
Look who bought that.
Someone in this room bought that.
I don't do that.
I had someone here, didn't I?
Are you being kidnapped right now, dude?
Like, you literally sound like you're getting kidnapped.
No, I've just had some food.
DBPN was one of the first things I bought
because I got that Osmo airdrop and there
was only like six things on osmosis i was like hell yeah dude servers
i'm sorry it's all good uh it could have been worse i bought iris too
yeah i know to be to be frank i mean like we went from I'm remembering March
2020 you know kind of really got involved with some to know where sub
million market cap on shitty I decks no I decks or I then on aetherium and from
bear went up to you guys you guys got apps you're building still doing stuff i like it it got
up to nearly five cents you know after that well it was headed towards five cents actually wasn't it
uh when it moved over to ibc right
yeah it was one day it was during in 2021 um cosmoverse is that when you guys just got an
uh mcmx mcex or whatever it's called that that
one no uh around then but i think everything was just like surging up at the time wasn't it because
osmosis was giving silly rewards and everyone was getting i remember catching in like a
shitload me because i was just like compounding at first, you know, and they were racking up, man.
I like that. It was so good back in the day of DVP and like so good for me.
I remember like making a few quid on that.
Yeah, the OGs who did know it's good it's um it's just with all cosmos chains it's just at the beginning a lot of people
who planned all these changed kind of um tokenomics obviously read the same thing they gave out high
aprs and then slash date which makes people state short-term seller rewards and then after a while
pop i mean from the down i mean i've put up on commonwealth like ways to kind of again like try and like get
the money that we're taking from subscriptions to come back and be visibly on chain bought back into
p2p give discounts if you use p2p to buy the product uh have a kind of burn mechanism well
i mean burn mechanisms are just like inherently shit coining.
But I wanted to have, let's say, it's on Commonwealth, I put it up there, like a burn validator.
So instead of just burning those coins and them forever being lost, they're forever staked to a validator with 100% commission,
which will always further hit into the emissions that are coming.
I mean, we can deal with the more
of the supply later. I did lay the grounds of this governance by proposing a super majority.
So for example, you may be thinking within a governance vote, I put in very specific
criteria. Like if we have this burn validator, you need 99% consensus to be able to unlock those coins.
It's never going to happen.
But that's still on there.
I think it could work very well to put it on there, especially kind of where we're going
and what we're kind of going to be releasing.
It's good.
We've got two VPNs coming on with millions of downloads.
We have mentioned them before on the feed, but they're going to be coming along. two VPNs coming on with millions of downloads.
We have mentioned them before on the feed, but they're gonna be coming along.
So user stats will be going up,
we bringing in more kind of net revenue.
It's just being able to capture that
and then share it on a ticker.
That's what people want, like investors in this space.
They want to see that ticker go up, right?
To kind of buy in.
It's tough anyway i should stop talking about myself and talk um b bounce 300 milligrams i almost said 25 in one go after not um having
any for like years i was just like that's because all my friends were doing governance i was like
yeah i'll do 25 mil yeah i used to smoke weed back in the day popped it 20 minutes later i was just like that's because all my friends were doing government so i was like yeah i'll do 25 mil yeah i used to smoke weed back in the day popped it 20 minutes later i was just in
hell and my friends they were like oh let's go and um buy a nintendo switch controller because
we're like playing mario kart and we like bought it off facebook marketplace and they're like yeah
we're going out now uh tom and i was like oh okay um i'll see you later that no you you coming with me as i'm
walking like in the shadows like you know when you get that feeling i knew i obviously knew i
was paranoid but it doesn't stop you thinking in your head i always like you're walking down the
road you can just see those curtains twitching like you can just see them um and they were they
went inside the chinese shop to get some dinner like you, are you coming in? I'm like, no.
So I was like, hid in the bush for like 20 minutes.
Like, oh, God, hopefully anyone doesn't see me.
Horrendous.
Driving home the next day as well.
I was like, what am I doing?
Driving like 70 in the left-hand lane.
Like, people looking at me.
I'm like, yeah.
You've got a lot of paranoia.
Keeps you sharp. You're like, re-evaluating all your life choices and stuff you're like oh my god what have i done what have i done what have i
done yeah like i was like i went to the toilet and i could hear them in like the next room talking
like they're talking about me and like your rational head like you and trisha I know to kind of cut through that because
it would be experienced I know they're not talking about me that's just you being paranoid
but maybe they are I'm just like I don't like you're going to say it's like yeah it wasn't fun
I think I had I definitely had fun but I don't really remember what happened
so but I'm pretty sure I'm not I don't feel emotionally scarred right now.
So I'm watching the video of how I was thinking about these anti-venoms and shit,
and now I'm down this rabbit hole of how they make that and the process of trying
to milk a snake which just sounds weird as hell but it sounds like a profitable job.
So what you have to get like a bunch of different venomous snakes and
have their venom ready to go and then then you mix your concoction?
Well, basically what they do is they get snakes and they extract the venom from them,
and then they take that venom and inject it into some other animal that then produces antibodies for it and then they take the blood of that animal
extract the antibodies out of it and then use that for the venom
so yeah it all starts with milk and a snake though in the beginning yeah but red eye isn't
the yield like really low so what happens is you actually have these like professional people who've got like a lab and they've got all of these different snakes and all of these like different like tanks and like what they'll do is they'll know when to extract the venom right because like the yields are proper shit like.
yeah it uh at the beginning of this one video i was watching it said there was a guy who
set out to try and get a lead or half a liter of venom extracted and it took him
69 000 milkings or something like that like some insane number over the course of oh yeah
because what they do is they can only
use the adults right and by the time the adults have learned how much like venom to excrete so i
don't know if you know this right something like an inland taiwan like the adults it'll take you
like a while to die but if you get bit off the kids it'll take you like a very short period of
time to die like like a couple of minutes because like the venom the kids don't know how much venom to excrete when they're young it's something to learn like over
time so for the anti-venom you need like the mature snakes right and so what happens is the
yield becomes like very very small let's say you were just milking young ones which you can't use
you would get loads of venom compared to like adults I found out this out in Australia
I was like what?
Like okay makes sense
Yeah it just sounds like a
If you clip what you just said it sounds really bad
By the way
Wait I'm going home
I've been for food I'm on my way home
I'll go home alright
I'm gonna go way home. I'll go home, all right?
I'm going to go thrifting with my friend.
Perfect time to wind it down, then, yeah.
We've been gone for a few hours.
Yeah, we...
A little over two hours?
Red eyes off to the farm, eh?
2.15 or so?
Yeah, I'll be going out there. i got a few meetings today and then um right let's all just pray let's all get around the campfire sing come by or hope
we don't have world war three and we can all fuck like minx and raise rugrats and just enjoy our
lives all right people have loved listening to you tonight it's nice to take a back seat sometimes
uh good night and god bless ragfm over and out take care of yourself wherever you are in the world bye
