Boom. There I am. Okay. Hi. Happy Friday. I hope you're well. No, I'm serious. I I really do hope you're well. And uh hopefully your weekend is awesome. And hopefully you spend your weekend uh in the shade because uh it's toasty pretty much everywhere, I think. So, um anyway, uh I hope you Oh, let me get that. That's kind of annoying. That little banner there. There we go. Okay. All right. How are you? I already asked you that. Okay. Uh Brad, as you know, is serving his oneame suspension this week.

So, he will not be joining us. Uh just too many references to Rebecca's cat. And so, as the commissioner of at the mic, I had to put my foot down. But don't fear, uh Brad will be back on Thursday when we talk about aliens and stuff with our Roswell UFO uh crash discussion part two. If you missed that, it's pinned to the top with everything else here. Uh check that out. It's a fascinating discussion. And like I said, when I first read that book, Witness to Roswell by Don Schmidt, uh, I could have

gone either way on the alien thing. There's so many eyewitnesses that he talked to, there's no 50/50 anymore. I mean, we can debate what aliens are. I That's not the issue. But that there are other beings. Yeah, that's it. I'm kind of done on that. Yes, 100% there are. Um, okay. Uh, and then, uh, what was yesterday's, uh, Barfly episode was a lot of fun, uh, with Kelly Smith, uh, and with Brad Stags. Kelly will be joining me here in just a moment.

Don't you ever let me say Liberty again in the context of your handle. I I

am I'm kind of pissed at you. You should have corrected me yesterday. >> Now I got >> No, you got it right yesterday. >> You just said I said Liberty yesterday. >> Okay, whatever. All right. All right. Here's a hair. There's one hair. Hang on. Get the forest mommy there. All right. So, there's at@ forest. Did I spell? Did I get this right or is it forest daddy? >> No, you got it right. >> I got it right. >> Most people a lot of people write it

So, we got Kelly, Jess, and Laura at Fancy This. >> Hello. >> Did I spell fancy right? >> Um, well, do you want the white woman spelling or do you want the like traditional spelling? Cuz it's probably going to be like um f A N C E I G H. >> So, it's not Kaye. Kaye and Ashley, but

they >> There's a whole uh Facebook group on that like how to spell names. It's like the tragedy, but t r a g i g h or something. It's so funny. >> Yes. I love it. >> It's definitely fancy this, not fancy that, right? >> Yes. >> Just just making sure >> because I'm just that into myself. >> Okay. So, uh Kelly, not for liberty, but for freedom. Uh real estate agent down in the Austin, Texas area. Um, as she has said before, you know, I don't have

a website, but you can just message me on X and then if you are open, >> see some properties or what have you. Um, and then, uh, Forest Mommy does a whole bunch of streaming. Um, where can people find all the stuff that you do? >> Um, Forest Mommy on Rumble. I pretty much just stream to Rumble because we say naughty words and stuff. So, I'm on Rumble. Um, Forest Mommy and Rumble, but I have a Friday night late night stream I do too now with a friend of mine. And that one's F and P Afterdark or

something on Rumble. Something like that. >> All right. >> Promoting it really great there. But >> well, somebody can uh message you uh before we're done here and we'll make sure that we get that correctly. Uh and then Laura, what what what's going on with you? What do you want to uh promote? >> Um I don't know. Hang out with me on Pinterest. >> Pinterest. Awesome. Okay. Awesome. Well, I appreciate this uh uh ladies night that you are uh I almost said you guys

are a part of. That would have sounded so weird. >> I mean, >> yeah. Yeah, >> we don't care. >> I know. I know. It just would have sounded weird. Ladies night. Thanks, guys. >> I identify as as a thanks guys. Yes. >> Okay. All right. I appreciate that. So, uh let's let's start with some not so rapid fire questions. I don't really do this that much anymore, but uh since y'all aren't, uh you I know that all of you have been a part of the Friday live

stream, but it's been a while. Um let's start with uh and these are I came up with some hard-hitting questions. I mean, these are these are deep, y'all. We got pancakes or waffles. Pancakes or waffles. Kelly, why don't you go first here? >> I mean, I got to go with the waffles because they've got the little pockets for the butter. They've got the little pockets. You could you >> Oh, that's a great tiebreaker. The pancakes just slide right off. That's a great

>> pancakes. Yeah. You know, it can be a little messy. So, you know, you could put like little pecans in there. You can put chocolate chips in there. >> Very versatile. Yeah. >> Versatile. >> Okay. All right. So, Jess, uh, pancakes or waffles? The hard-hitting questions. >> If I'm making it pancakes, if I'm ordering it, waffles. >> Okay. All right. Laura, what do you got? >> Um, mine with a caveat. They have to be buttermilk pancakes. >> Oh, are you from the south?

>> No, but I'm so weird like that. >> You honorary member >> from a border state. >> I mean, she threw in the buttermilk like she's one of us. >> Well, it's so funny because I grew up eating grits because of my mom and I'm from Delaware. >> Yeah. >> She's from Delaware. >> I love that. >> So, I don't like I'm like >> put hot sauce on them. No, I'm a sweet grits kind of person. I mean, I don't mind like a good shrimp and grits or

something. I don't mind them in a savory dish, but as if I'm making them, they're like syrup and butter and >> cinnamon. >> Okay. Uh yeah, I mean you there's a lot going on there, that's for sure. Um let's see here. Oh, cake or pie. Uh let's go. Jess, where are you going with cake or pie? >> I know. I told you pie. difficult questions. And actually that that is impossible. >> It is because like at night you want a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. You

know what I mean? But then like cake I'll eat anytime. I don't know. I'll go with I'm gonna go with pie. >> All right. You're going with pie. All right. We got a pie there. All right. >> I'm also going to go with pie. >> Okay. >> One I enjoy making them more, but I think too it's the it's the mixture of textures. Like you have like a nice gooey or fruity or something center and a nice flaky buttery crust >> or lardy buttery crust. >> Lardy.

>> You know what? I don't think the word lardy has ever tasted or ever sounded so appetizing when you're talking about, you know, baked goods. That actually, >> can I say that there is a uh a pie store? Like that's all they do are pies. And it's on my way home from work. And after I discovered this, every day is this moral struggle to not stop there and just buy the biggest piece of pie or a whole pie and just stuff my face. It's And they're so good. Oh, dear God. These

these because you know >> pie >> every kind. Every kind. They have everything there. I'll take anything. It really seriously. Strawberry, rhubarb, uh cherry, apple, uh peach. Um but see, you know it's going to be good because somebody had the balls to open up a store that focused on one item and they're like, "Yeah, yeah, I know it's awesome." Yeah. >> Is it lardy? >> And it's very lardy. Yes. Uh, all right. Uh, so Kelly, uh, cake or pie? >> I am rounding out the pie trifecta here.

I I hate frosting. It grosses me out. If I'm If I get a piece of cake, I'm scraping the frosting off a cupcake. Frosting gone. >> I'm I'm on the texture thing. Yeah. The little little crispy on the outside. French toast. >> Okay. Well, that's that. Yeah. All right. Yeah. >> Yeah. If you'd asked French toast, I probably would have gone with that over my buttermilk pancakes. >> Hold on. >> Hold on. I'm sorry. >> Rio French toast because there's always

a caveat. >> Yeah. Uh you mentioned grits, shrimp and grits, man. After living in South Carolina, you can never go back. It's so good. >> You got Can I just say congratulations? There's an entry there. French toast from the nights who say knee. But however, this this sums up today. Totally. Loads of long flowing hair. And then there's Keith. We do all have long hair. I love it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Totally. >> Little Tradife vibe over here. >> Here it is. Except for your ability to

wear bangs is so impressive. I cuz I'm always like, "Don't do bangs. Don't cut bangs." I say that all the time. I think I've even tweeted about it like five or six times. But no, you can wear bangs. >> Thank you. It was a leap of faith. It was after a breakup in my like late 20s, early 30s. I swear to God, I was like, I need a new look. >> My hairdresser was like, let's do bangs. And I just nailed it. >> Do it now before I change my mind. >> It's nice with the sides when you do it

side swim like it just looks better cuz I remember I tried it once and I like they would never grow. The part would show in my bangs and I was like, "Okay, we're not doing that ever again." >> Yeah. It's not a hairstyle. It's a lifestyle. >> Yeah. >> It's a whole commitment. >> What's it What's it like to have hair to quote style? >> Gang. >> All right. So Laura, coffee or tea? I mean, coffee. >> It's not. But >> what about in the winter though? You

know, you No. Okay. >> No. Coffee. Coffee round the clock. Just call me Laura Gilmore. >> Okay. Uh, >> coffee. >> Kelly, I'm trying to keep everything in order. >> In the harbor. Give me coffee all day. >> Oh, wow. Okay. >> Throw it in the harbor. >> And Jess, coffee or tea? >> Coffee. Totally coffee. And we do have the proper U title for your Rumble show. It's you you had it right. FNP, right? After dark. FNP after dark. So there you go. So go find that. So when's

that going to be? Tonight. Tonight. >> Yeah, we do it every Friday night. And it is a late night show and on Rumble. So >> Okay. >> It, you know, we say stuff. >> We say stuff. That's such a general because earlier you said um what did you say? Uh what is it? You said >> naughty words. >> Naughty words. and stuff and I and I and I and I boed I didn't I didn't quite want to ask what the and stuff because I kind of have a general idea but >> stuff that will I can never run for

office again because basically that's the problem but I don't care. >> Are you ever going to run >> waiting for I want someone to like find all the clips and clip it together of me saying all the bad words. That would be hilarious. >> Make a remix song out of it. >> Yeah, >> that would be dope. One time someone did that on Twitter because I would always say like dump. I would say that a lot in my videos and they like clipped all of them together. It was awesome. They were

trying to be mean to me, but I'm like this is awesome. >> That's awesome. Yeah. So, when you ran for >> my campaign ad, >> it was Arvvada City Council. Did I get that right? >> Yeah. >> Is it Arvvada? Um, did I pronounce that right? Arvvada. Yeah. Um, >> I say Arvvada. >> Oh, no. Okay. Um, >> did you run independent under a party's banner? Libertarian. Well, it was a nonpartisan race, so you're supposed to be like you're not supposed to be part,

but they are. And the funny thing was I was filling out the thing. I didn't know what to I was doing. And I at the time I was like part I'm not part of the party any libertarian parties or I'm still libertarian, but I'm not I'm unaffiliated. But I put libertarian party down and they're like, "Do you really want that?" And I'm like, "Well, it won't show up on the ballot, right?" And they're like, "Yeah." But then they made this there was this whole hit piece

about these libert because there was another libertarian. They're like, "These libertarians are coming in blah blah blah." But I was all on my own. I was on my own completely doing everything. So, >> so I I have a pet peeve when it comes to ballots and names on ballots and uh especially since I've lived most of my life in the south. Perhaps the incidents are more often for me than not. But um uh you see people they say like uh the guy's name is uh is Joe Brown or whatever, you know, and then and then in

in quotes right in the middle it says like Joe Joey Brown. It's just the stupidest damn thing. And it's just like or it'll say like uh he always has there always something in quotes or whatever like a nickname. And so I got to thinking recently, you know, why wouldn't you, especially if it's a Republican primary, why wouldn't you make your name Joe Ma Brown and try to pick up votes from Trump supporters, come on, tell me that's not genius. If you can put any name on the ballot and

you're and and a Republican, >> Maga Brown, >> right? I mean, like I think on the left you could just do like Joe Marx. Republicans are so unorganized, too, cuz I ran and there was nobody else to run. Even this year, the other two districts and at large are up and there's no there's no Republicans running at all. So, when I ran, I made friends with the Republicans and they voted for me out here. But it was like a lot of them didn't because I said I wasn't pure enough. And I was like, "Okay, cool.

>> Why does everybody hate libertarians so much?" >> Because we call every I call everybody out. And especially like, >> hey, hey, Minneapolis has got a big mayor race coming up. They got nine individuals on the ballot. Uh, six of them are the Democrat farm labor. Uh, two are independent and one is the Socialist Workers Party. There's not one Republican out of the nine candidates. So, good luck, Minneapolis. Where >> that they're saying that Steve Bannon might run in 28. Speaking of Republicans

running >> Oh, no. For president that I swear to God, it came through Twitter yesterday last night. This is going to be fun. So, okay, Kelly. Uh, top bunk or bottom bunk. >> Uh, top because you're going to get murdered last. >> See, you're good job. >> I mean, or you could like spider monkey. You know, somebody comes in, there's bottom >> bomb. You've got the elevation advantage. >> Hero. I'm spider monkeying and then I'm sniper nest. It's a sniper nest.

Okay. I think >> that Jess Laura both doing Top Bunk as well. I am. >> Yeah. Well, and I was growing up. Yeah. >> So, >> it just worked. >> You know, I had this I just thought of this. Holy [ __ ] You know, it's kind of a long story. I I'll try to keep it very condensed. I'm an only child. I'm not sure if you can tell y'all. Uh but um uh >> you're not type A at all. You're not type A at all. >> At all. Right. So, uh we I had a bunk

bed in my bedroom. Anyway, like I said, it's a very long story. I'm just gonna I'm just going to cut to the chase. And I slept on the bottom bunk. And I remember this one night that I just I you're I can't fall asleep. I have not been able to fall asleep for 50 years. And so I would just tear at the felt. My parents hated it. I would kick it, you know, up in the air and all this stuff. And then uh one night it fell on me. And that was kind of fun seeing my dad run in there and

have to, you know, pull it off of me. >> The bed fell on you. >> Yeah. mattress like they came off of the off of the metal part, you know, and just kind of, you know, box springs and all. Yeah. I I'm I'm not smart. I was a troublemaker. And uh my parents, God bless him. Okay. >> Only one. >> Yeah, that's that's exactly why they're like, "You know what? You get two beds in your room because you ain't getting a brother." That's for damn sure. Okay. Uh

let's see here. Uh, would you rather uh never watch a TV show or or movie again or never use social media again? Jess, >> this is a hard one. Hey, while she's thinking, are these three separate categories or TV and movie one? >> No, you have no TV and movie. Uh, let's see. You know what? No, I get I think it's three options. You're right. I copied and pasted and didn't even read it. No. Uh, let's see. Uh, so, okay, you got to pick one of these to never see

again, I guess. Yeah, sure. Let's say that. So, you never see a TV show again, you never see a movie again, or you never use social media. >> TV show. I can give up TV shows. >> Yeah, now it's easy. See, >> right. Because that was going to change my answer. >> Oh, okay. So, you're no TV show also? >> I'm a movie because all like all the movies right now are just remakes. >> That's smart. Yeah, >> that's all they're doing is just

remaking. And now there it used to be like they were remaking like old movies, but now like they just remade who How to Train Your Dragon. Like that's only like 10 years old. Why are we doing that? >> Why are we doing Right. There is a certain time limit. There should be >> right >> before you're allowed to remake a movie. There should be a law. Damn it. >> Just kidding. Just kidding. Well, and I even So, I am currently watching the bat the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy

with my kids >> because I like to traumatize them with the Joker and Harvey Too Faced. And I was offended that they were even going to consider doing another Joker again. And I love Weaqen Phoenix. Like, I think he's brilliant, but I'm sort of like, okay, but Heath Ledger has cemented the Joker. you can no longer >> and and I couldn't even watch I think I probably got very very very shallow into the new Joker because I can't handle that kind of psychological warfare. Like I was

just like this is too much for my brain. >> And he was brilliant but I was just like >> but Heath Ledger just died. Like how could you do this? You know >> they should have shoved that. >> Yeah. Well, that's like if they ever do like The Sound of Music again, I think I'll lose my mind. >> You just You can't. >> That's where I draw the line. Damn it. >> Yeah, that's my line. >> All right, Kelly. >> You already asked me. It's

>> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> Yeah, cuz the remakes >> Jeff said it was too hard and then we were waiting for her answer. That's right. >> No, I said I'd give up TV shows. I give up TV shows. >> Oh, that's right. >> I'm not even drinking. >> I would give up social media. >> Why not? I just Okay, so here's the thing. I have hope that maybe we'll get another phenomenal movie. Maybe we'll get another phenomenal TV show. I mean, I

have to rewatch all of my favorites because we haven't gotten a phenomenal TV show in forever. >> A movie that like, you know, shakes you to your core. We haven't gotten one of those in forever. >> But if we do, >> I don't know. Oh, I feel like social media is so empty in a way that good entertainment can be really fantastic and and hit you to the core so much so that you will rewatch it over and over again. >> I don't know. >> That's a moving answer.

>> That is uh y'all don't be leaving don't be leaving social media for at least a couple hours. You got to stay here for this. Um you know, Kelly, we talked yesterday off air. my memory. Holy [ __ ] What's happening? Like I I now I'm not even Now I'm not even getting through a damn answer and forgetting who I just talked to. >> Okay. Okay. What What What kind of magic pills were you sending me for? >> Oh, I'll do it right now. I'm sending you. It's It's just visual. It's

>> And that's going to help my brain. Yes. >> Because I I'm I'm rapidly descending into Joe Biden territory right before your eyes. >> Wandering off stage shaking nobody's hands. What did we say yesterday? Pooping in front of the queen. >> Okay, I'm not that far. But I'm sure I'm sure the trajectory >> How liberating how liberating would that be in front of the queen? Like >> it it really is sort of his only likable moment in a history of just an absolute

gong show. >> Did he do that at the Vatican, too? >> Oh, he did. You're right. In front of the Pope. What? See, you're getting your memory back. >> Oh, and he's super Catholic. >> Yeah. I mean, >> maybe he gets nervous in front of >> Well, he's not. We're summoning demons. >> All right. So, >> would you rather uh be always late or always early? >> Me, I'm always early. Always. I always >> Yeah. My I'm a military kid. My dad used

to say five minutes early is 15 minutes late. Like if I'm if I'm like close to being late, it I get I almost have a pack. I'm exactly >> I would rather sit in my car for 10 minutes on my phone and know that I am not late. >> That's >> the rest of my life isn't together but I am on time. >> But it's kind of embarrassing. >> That's respect. That's respectful to the other people. >> Yes, it is. Yeah, I think so, too. >> And then I feel bad because she shows up

and logs in earlier than me. >> I'm always here when >> Even when I'm early to the party, she's already here. So, thank you. I appreciate it. All right, Jess. What? Late or early? >> Early. And like she said, especially with our phones now, you can be early and just like chill on your phone for a minute. Yeah, I'm always been early. >> Ways will tell you if you're like, I'm going to be there at 11:45. It tells you exactly what time you need to leave.

>> Like, how hard is that? >> That is so helpful, especially when you're like trying to get to the airport at a weird time and you're like, I have no idea how long it takes to get across damn town. >> Um, okay. So, uh, Laura, what do you got there? You want to always be early or always late? I'm gonna be your outlier with this one. I would rather be late because >> fashionably late. >> I think I think for me being being the person who shows up early and is sitting

there waiting for somebody else fills me with anxiety. I I have no idea why. And I'm not like an anxious person. >> What' you say? >> So that's interesting because that's the other side of of the coin. I like it. >> Right. And I also just I don't I'm I am an extrovert and I >> don't mind attention. And so if I walk in late and then people look at me, I'm like, "Oh, cool. All right. Here we go." Like now we can start. >> You're pretty cuz you're pretty and

tall. That's why. >> I think also it's just like it's fun to be the person that everyone's waiting for because then there's a joke with it. Like I don't know. I just feel like, >> huh, >> she's making an entrance. >> Yeah, making an entrance. But I also I agree with you like it depends. It's also circumstantial. If you're if you have an appointment or something like that, that's different. But if it's like a dinner or party or whatever, I'm

always going to be late just by virtue of my nature, which is >> I like being early, too, because then that gives you like you can always be the first one to leave >> to go home. >> Do you Irish? Say an Irish goodbye. Peace out. >> I am the queen of Irish goodbyes. Love it. Quick, Matt. >> Well, I think that all four of us are Gen X. Am I right about that? >> No, I'm an elder millennial. >> Yeah, millennial, too, but I was raised. My siblings are all Gen X and like So, I

feel more Gen Xy >> Millennial, I think. >> Yeah. >> So, wait, what? What are you What, Kelly? They they've made a micro generation now because I'm 81 and supposed I mean depending on where you 80 80 >> all the early 80s are kind because all the early 80s are still kind of Gen X but it's technically millennial and >> right >> I don't identify as a millennial. >> Well I was just going to say I think the Gen X is the feels like the last generation to respect a clock.

>> That's true. >> Yeah. Well, and I also I've always said from a like when it comes to the generations conversation, the elder millennials fit in much more with X in a way that we remember life before the internet. >> We had to be home when the street lights came on. Like there were certain protocols in place for our life >> that millennials like traditional true fitting in the brackets millennials just don't they didn't experience in the same way and even I'm a good case study in

this because I was born in ' 84 my brother was born in ' 86 and we >> 842 >> yes >> and we had a very different experience than our siblings who were born in the 90s I mean it's not even that like we have a 9, we have two 91s and a 93, but they don't remember life without cell phones. They like the way that they would text. I would sit there and watch them and be like, "How?" And this was like in the pre full keyboard days when you had the like you had to tap the

letters like 13 times. Yeah. Yeah. >> And watching them do it, I was like, "Are you just born knowing how to do this?" Like, how did you figure this out so quickly? their their experience with technology, everything is just so different than my brother and I. >> Social media the social media thing too was like >> Oh yeah. No, I saw this video. They were like >> after high school >> it was a mom and a daughter and it was like a Gen X versus I think it was a Gen

Z and they said answer the phone, right? And the mom goes and then the kid goes because they know they've never done this, you know, like I'm like phone call, you know, but they're like >> that's a good point. >> Yeah, I still do like I still do this. >> True. >> When I'm like saying, "Oh, I was on the phone, you know, and my kids are like, >> what what are you doing? What is that?" >> The horns. Okay. Uh all right. So earlier we had the deep uh questions

about the cake and pie and coffee and tea. And now we got to get to this deep poll that uh Oh my gosh, I'm so glad Brad's not here. Um so uh we got to do this right here. Look at this. Laura posted this on her uh at fancy this there on X recently. And and this is an important question. How do you pronounce it? Is it umbrella or umbrella? And I I said I'm backwards there, but uh about twothirds says umbrella. Am I say I can't even say it. I can't I don't even know. >> So I say at the top one I say umbrella.

>> Okay. >> Like I put the emphasis on um umbrella. >> Depends on what mood I'm in actually now that I think about it. >> Want to sing the Rihanna song. Umbrella. Ella. >> So uh is there a correct way? Uh ladies, I mean you you said you do the top one there, Laura. >> I have weird regional dialect though. I I don't count. Delaware is in a region of its own. >> Well, and I don't even pronounce I mean the if you see the way that Tina Fay will do the Philly accent on SNL that is

the traditional Delaware accent also. It's all in that sort of same they say things like phone home. >> Yeah. It's this very I have worked so hard and I mean the people who know me very well are like no no no no you haven't worked it out of your vernacular it's still sort of present but I have expended a lot of effort to try to get rid of it as much as possible but there are certain things that I think are traditional like I'll say umbrella and I've been the reason

why I brought that up is because a friend of mine said did you say umbrella like emphasizing the um instead of umbrella. >> She stopped the conversation for this. >> She did. >> I kind of would too cuz I never heard it either. But I can hear it when you say it. >> Yeah. >> Like why? Why is it necessary? I don't know. >> Yeah, that's okay. Uh anybody want to chime in on this or did Laura pretty much cover it? >> How do you say it, Jess? >> Umbrella.

>> Umbrella. Okay. >> Like a normal person. >> I don't know. Is that like the second umbrella? Oh, I'm umbrella. >> You're umbrella. Okay. >> But now that I I think I'm gonna I'm gonna use Laura from now on. It sounds >> So, as long as we're talking about uh pronunci dear God, I can't pronounce pronounce. I called it pronounce the hell's in this uh God almighty. Uh, all right. Here we go. Here's here's a question. Laura,

>> I know what's coming. >> You are unreal with this. I will die on this hill, woman. It's Reese's pieces. >> No, they're Reese's Pieces. >> Reese's gone. >> Reese's Pieces. This is also regional. Okay, so wait, so I did a poll. >> You changed the pronunciation of the word. >> Say it again. Say it again. Say it one more time. >> Reese's Pieces. >> You're having to mispronounce >> to make it rhyme with Reese's. Reese's

I don't know my only So my whole family calls them Reese's >> Reese's whatever you're speaking about but we all also say Reese's PCs but I said something I was curious and so I pulled my family group chat because even though we have everyone pretty much from the same region I haven't she's now my ex-sister-in-law but she's from Colombia and I asked her I said how do you say this and she said Reesei Not that counts. You say for a peanut butter cup, too. Do you say Reese's

peanut butter cup? >> Reese's. Reese's peanut butter cup. And I don't even I don't even bo because if I'm speaking about Reese's, I am talking about either the peanut butter cups or the seasonal ones like the eggs. >> The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is >> That's perfect. >> Cream. Yep. >> Do you put them in the freezer? Do you put them in the fridge or freezer? I'm not a cold chocolate person, but my son is randomly and my dad was. Yeah, freeze

all the chocolate. >> I honestly didn't even know there was another way to pronounce this. And when I got the email and I was like I was looking at it and I'm like, how in the world else would you pronounce Reese's? She just cleared it up for me. But I think it's precious. >> This is one of these things that should not bother me as much as it does, but I can't. So, okay. Um, uh, what are the first three letters of the second word? There is spells pie. No, that's that that doesn't make your

point. Keith Reese is Pis. Never mind. >> Well, no. I mean, if you were to ask me, Laura, how do you say this phonetically? Well, phonetically doesn't even count. Laura, how do you say how do you properly pronounce this? It's Reese's Pieces. Like, there's not a question about this. But every single one of us of America, yes, we all say things, >> right? I call every drink Coke if it's a soda pop because I grew up in the South and it's just Coke. What kind of Coke?

>> But it's pop. But it's actually pop. >> Oh, see. Or like even and I don't I don't know. I mean, this is also now you're crossing like racial barriers, but the black folks that I grew up around, they called every diaper Pampers. >> Every diaper. >> What? >> Yeah. >> Wow. And I'm trying to think of like other things where they'll where like you'll hear somebody say a brand name for a product or for an item or whatever, but it's all it's either it's

regional. It's it's >> like it's based on people's ethnicities, where they come from. So, it's just it's I find it I find the whole thing fascinating. Well, and even Jesse, you'll love this. Everybody that I grew up around on the east coast says Colorado, not Colorado. >> I never say the two again. >> Colorado as opposed to Colorado like with a more of an O instead of an A. >> Okay, >> I got you. >> Say it that way. >> Say it what way?

>> I say it Colorado with a O, not Colorado. I say state. It's >> great. >> Colorado. I say Colorado. >> Yeah. And And I I don't know why. Again, it seems to be regional, but the first time I heard somebody from Colorado pronounce it, I was like, "Wait, what?" >> Like, I was lied to. I mean teachers in school Colorado >> I call it Nevada. >> It's not a lie. >> Anybody? >> Nevada. He said arva. People say arvvada but it's I say arvat. Like

>> how do you say Nevada? >> Nevada. >> Nevada. Nevada. >> I feel I'm alone on that one. Kelly >> Nevada. >> Nevada. I think that one that one's interchangeable for me. >> Okay. >> All right. Here's a word that's interchangeable for me. I had to get my fancy graphics going. Uh I honestly don't know what is wrong with my brain. Full stop. But uh it just depends >> a lot. >> Thank you for that. Uh caramel or caramel? Like I have no idea. I I don't

What do y'all What do you say for this one? >> Caramel. >> Caramel. >> Caramel. >> Okay. How about this one? This one is only one way. Other way. Other way you sound like a Yankee. It's pecan, not pecan or pean. >> Got your back on that, Keith. >> Pecan. Thank you. >> I grew up saying pecan >> because you're a Yankee. >> I'm a Yankee. >> Now your border state is going north. See? >> Yeah. Yeah. But now I say pecan. Like if

I say, "Oh, I'm going to make a pecan pie." I don't say pecan pie. >> Okay. I will tell clients that if they're from out of state when they're moving to Texas, I'm like, you know, we got snakes, we got bugs, and we do not say pecan. We say pecan. >> You're doing California license plates. >> Thank you. Thank you. You got to stop them at the border. You know, indoctrination before you come down here and the state's already ruined who all y'all Texas people need to be stopping

people from coming down there because they're doing the same stuff to Texas. >> Not lying, girl. It's it's it's over. >> It's over. It is. >> It's over. >> But it's so fun to fight him. At least in the meantime, it's so fun to fight him. That's >> Californians in life. >> Um they they they first they ruined your state, Colorado. >> Then then they went up and they and they ruined Idaho, at least Boise, and now now they're over there in Montana doing

a number on that state. >> Utah, Salt Lake, >> and Utah. Yeah. Yeah. And >> Wisconsin's falling. Wisconsin. Like Wisconsin of all places is falling. Like it's >> I got news for you. >> Commies win cuz they're really good. >> Wisconsin was the birthplace of the progressive party. >> Hey, they they've been limping for a hundred years. But I understand though. It's there's there's really good people in Wisconsin and it's it's

>> these cities what ruins these states, man. >> Yes. Well, and I think there's a mixture, too, because I have two neighbors within two blocks of me who fled California. I mean, and and it's heartbreaking. Um, >> they fled Hold on. They fled California because they wanted to be where there was common sense or they fled California because they destroyed it and now they're looking for a new host body. >> No, they're they were California conservatives and they just couldn't

take it anymore. Um, and it breaks my heart because I especially understand as a state transplant and I would still move back to Delaware because as far as blue states are concerned, it's probably the best one at this point. Although, >> yeah, it's cuz you sent your trash to DC 50 years ago and then look what happened. >> Well, and people people sleep on Delaware. They don't realize how good it is and I'm okay with that. But it's also it's still very business friendly and

all of those sorts of things. There's no sales tax. property taxes cheap, income tax is cheap. So, it's a good blue state and I would still live there. But having been to California and being like, oh, oh, I get I would be devastated to have left California, >> but I get why they come here. But conservatives here and conservatives who are leaving California and coming here want to strengthen the government so that it's conservative. And I'm like, "No, you need to disentangle the

government and power >> so that it stays the place that you want to be." But conservatives don't by and large, in my experience, they don't understand that. >> And they don't want to put in the work like Jess does in Colorado, >> don't they? >> And so, and and and when I was blaming Californians for ruining all these states, they didn't ruin Texas. Texas is asleep at the wheel. And so when when Californians came here, they were just like, "Oh, I'll drive." Okay.

>> Right. >> Boy, my analogies are not bad today, huh, Kelly? >> They're good. You're on it. >> Yeah. I was going to say I had great I did real estate for a while, too. And I was like, they're California clients. I was part of the problem, but they were ready to throw down that cash. So, I was >> Yeah. I mean, yeah. >> How much property today? >> Say no. >> Right. Yeah. I'll still do it. >> You know, if someone's going to hire

you, cool. You're not >> But you know what's interesting? What I've seen here in Austin and you know Austin was like the hot spot for California is like since CO they're wanting to be like out in the country now like >> they don't want to live inside the city anymore. I don't know what the shift was from COVID and that's kind of like why I started getting into like land and farm and ranch because everybody wants to be you know before it was like they had to

have an Austin address non-negotiable. Don't put me in but don't put me in Round Rock. Like it has to be Austin. Now it's like I'll drive an hour, hour and a half to get in. And I'm like, "Okay, >> that interesting." >> It's an interesting shift. >> Okay. All right. Well, this is obviously the show with very important poll questions uh such as this one. Uh you can only I can't I don't know. I was in a mood when I posted this the other day.

You can only uh a thorough Oh, that felt good. Neck cracking or And I do I will admit I have a problem. I Well, I have a lot of problems, but dear God, do I have a problem with the Q-tips, man. Uh satisfying Q-tip ear clean, you know, just scratch that itch, you know? Uh which are you picking, ladies? Uh we can start at the top here with Kelly. >> I'm going with the neck cracking. There is nothing like a neck cracking at the chiropractor. >> Like, >> I've never been to a chiropractor.

>> What? >> Yeah. I don't know. I just There's this weird fear like I'm gonna just uh I'll be stuck like this the rest of my life. I don't know what my deal is. I go every two weeks. >> Okay. Is it It works for you. >> It's everything. Yes. >> Oh, yeah. Where's your little tuning fork where you get clean? >> Do we need to uh clean cleanse our >> always have to Let's hear it. Let's Let's hear this thing. That's good. See,

>> everybody, how's your crown chakra? It should be good. >> Personal question. Okay. So, um good. So, she's cleared the room and uh and you're going with the neck cracking. Uh, Jess, what are you going with? >> Q-tips. Q-tip. I'll do that all my life. I don't care. They can tell me not to do it. I'm going to do it. >> I know. They say don't put that in your ear. Then why the hell would I buy a Q-tip to begin with? >> And it has to be Q-tip brand. The

knockoff. Look, I'm totally with knockoff brands and other stuff, but the Q-tip knockoffs are not as good as >> it's all flimsy and no stupid. All right. Were you grow Did you grow up being told nothing smaller than your elbow or is that a weird East Coast thing in your ear? >> Never heard that. >> Never heard that one. >> Really? >> I was like, who who's fitting an elbow? Like who? >> Now that I think about it, it's a very good point. >> W and I get what they say. I get why I

totally get the science around it or whatever why you shouldn't, but like I've never had a problem and it feels so good. So yeah, whatever. >> But I've got a problem where I'll just I'll clean it so often it's just like it's raw and it's like what are you doing, bro? >> That's your Vegas up with coconut oil. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let's go in order. Kelly, what' you say? >> That's your Vegas nerve. You're

stimulating your Vegas nerve. >> It goes like to your ears and behind your eyes and stuff. That's why it feels so good to rub your eyes and move your ears. It's your It's your Vegas nerve. >> Is that why I have so many sinus infections? Because I'm a dumbass and I'm doing all this number. Uh, no. That wouldn't cause sinus infection. >> And somebody else was saying something there. Who was it? Was it you, Jess? >> Oh, no. I was saying something, but I

don't remember what it is because evidently I have the Keith memory. >> Oh, now it has a name. That's cute. Thank you. We appreciate that. Uh, okay. So, you're going with the neck cracking or the Q-tip, Laura? >> Uh, neck cracking, but only by a narrow margin. >> Look at that pole, man. That's pretty close. >> Yeah. Yeah, because it I mean, seriously, it's incredibly satisfying. I like I like anything cracking though, like down your spine. It's Yeah, if that

feeling is just slightly better than than the Q-tip, which is also really good. >> I might do both after this. >> Yeah, >> I would recommend it. Can I just say I was just reminded when I talked about how close this poll was. Um the uh the closest poll that I ever did was which is the better Eagle song, Hotel California or Take It Easy. And it was 5050 the entire time. And then I think at the end one of them broke away like 5149 or something. But that that was a boy that was a almost

>> my youngest son was born to Hotel California. >> Oh nice. Isn't that crazy? I >> swear to God. >> So you clearly hospital. >> Yeah. It was the day Tom Petty died >> and like it was quiet so I was like can we put on some music or something? We put on the a Tom Petty station and Wall Flowers came on first and then Hotel California and he was born in Hotel California. >> A >> Did you name him Hotel? >> No. His name is Gunner. >> Okay. I just wondered if maybe there was

a a last minute switcheroo of the name you had picked out based on the moment. Uh okay. So raise your hand if if you shop at Costco. >> Who who here? >> Me and Jess. Uh oh, look at you. Oh, you have a membership and you just don't use it or >> Yes. Okay. Sam's Club. You're Sam's Club. Laura, >> I am not a I'm not I'm a nun. >> I'm a none of the above. I'm not a nun. >> She likes making regular trips to the store, whereas I want to get it done,

not worry about it for two months. It's like, look, I'm going to get the economy back. >> I really do. This This is I think this goes back to living in a third world country. I love grocery shopping. I love walking into the store, finding whatever I want, whenever I want. It is the most wonderful satisfying thing in the entire world. >> And the co the way that COVID traumatized me. It was like triggering all of my Haiti trauma because it was like you can't get paper towels. You

can't get and then this most recent debacle with eggs. I was like stop stop doing this. Like because you had to if it was there on the shelf you had to get it. didn't matter if you didn't need it for three weeks or three months like you had to grab it. >> You mentioned Haiti and before I forget, if you go to the YouTube channel and you scroll down, there's a playlist of life stories or I think that's what it's titled. Um, uh, your episode 60. So, if you want to hear her story about, you

know, her time in Haiti, that was fun, wasn't it? >> That was a great time. >> So, anyway, so check that out because I used to do the interviews and talk to people about their lives and stuff. Um, and uh, uh, so what were we talking? Oh, Costco. My bad. Uh, Biden brain. Okay. So, they've got this return policy. I'm sure I'm sure Jess knows it, right? Uh, Kelly, >> you maybe know it. Uh, or you just >> I don't think I've ever returned anything that cost

>> really. Are are you guys familiar then with the whole return policy there? >> No. You can they are famous for people buying large screen TVs for the Super Bowl and then going back on the Monday and be like ah I don't need it. There you go. And also like they abs this is not hyperbole. They take anything back. I kid you not. I I planted four or six bushes in my yard and it was like the one spring that we just had rain every day for a month and I they drowned. I mean, they got overwatered. I wasn't

watering them. Mother nature was and I took my Why am I admitting this? How much is this here? Okay. Um I took this I feel like I'm on a couch right now. Yeah. And then I took six dead bushes back to Costco and I demanded my money back. They gave it to me, no questions asked. These dead bushes, I just said, "Hey, it's been raining non-stop. You you know it." And they they were like, "Yep." And they and so they take this garbage several garbage bags. They just sit them behind the

counter. And I felt like such an ass, but you know what? I got, you know, 40 50 bucks back. I don't know. Whatever. But uh anyway, the there's this um uh Never fear, y'all. Costco fans, they're not changing their policy, >> but apparently this is going to become a problem. >> Dumb asses are going to ruin it for the rest of us >> because they're testing the limits, man. They're taking back years old couches that that have been lived on. You know, dead Christmas trees after Christmas.

>> Stop this. Stop it. I mean, you talk about abusing a a system. >> This is why we can't have nice things. This is where we get everything. >> I know >> there's example after example in here. Um >> dead Christmas tree. Like I'm >> right >> What kind of person are you? >> I know. >> Listen to this halfeaten chicken. Uh 3 week old flowers that he never put in water. Um let's see here. Uh this is a this is by this is the other thing. This

is some YouTube guy who's like, "Let's see if they'll take back a Lego set that I completed." And Yes. Yes. Um, yeah. Listen to this. Um, a Seattle woman got a full refund for a two and a half-year-old couch because she Yeah, I don't like the color anymore. Yeah. Um, let's see. No questions asked policy. Uh, let's see. I'll see if there's other examples in here. I feel like there were some more. Oh, there's a rug that was stained. Uh, he took back to

>> Do they resell them? What do they do? >> I I don't know this story that they >> probably send it to Haiti. sent it to Haiti. Next thing you know, it ends up on a shelf next to your eggs. You're like, I got to get that stained rug. We need a rug. >> Oh, that's a Yeah. Right next to the Atlanta Falcons uh uh Super Bowl champion uh t-shirts down there. >> Oh, yeah. The clothing was hilarious. I was like, >> wait, this was before the Eagles had won

a Super Bowl. I'm like, the Eagles didn't win ever. Ever. >> I because I love Atlanta. Okay. Uh what else here? Oh, so we got to talk about this. I just This is uh this is interesting. Let me uh let me get this screen up here so I can be clear as to what I'm referring to. Okay. Have you seen these? This is at Walmart now. It's at Kohl's. It's at um where else? A Kroger. Uh some other stores that I don't recognize. And since I'm uh I'm not going to try to pronounce

these ones, um check this out. You got these digital price tags. See that? And and so um now now Walmart will tell you, "Look, we save on paper and we're more efficient. Uh our employees don't have to go and change the price." That's that's that's fair. That's true. But you know, it's because they're just changing the price every five minutes because they can. >> And um while I don't like it, I don't I would never try to restrict a company

from doing this. I don't have to shop at a place that does this. But uh you have any thoughts on these uh you know change as you change on the fly price tags? I mean it's just computer control. >> I'm an HB purist and they don't have these. So I don't have much of an opinion on it because HB does nothing wrong. >> No. So wait, what if you what if you bought that for 212? >> Okay, >> you put it in your buggy and you're still shopping for another hour and you

get up there and the price is like, nah, just joke's on you. It's now $2.99, sucker. I mean, again, I don't know how you would >> I'm ADHD, so I probably wouldn't notice to be honest. >> You'd have to take a picture of every freaking item and then compared to your receipt. Who's going to do that? >> Anyway, I I don't know. >> The lady I get caught behind over 54 cents will notice that. >> You just reminded me something, Chess. When's the last time, and I used to clip

coupons all the time. That's the only reason I'm getting the Sunday paper. It more than pays for itself. I haven't seen a coupon. I haven't used a coupon. I haven't seen anyone else use a coupon. >> Does your Kroger My Kroger sends me like personalized coupons that I use? I don't know if all Kroger's do that, but >> yeah, mine does, too. I clip those things of reckless abandon. >> Okay. So, okay. It's still still a thing, huh? >> Well, I I have a I have prepubescent

pubescent children who just don't stop eating. So it's like >> I got >> Well, they usually send one too that's like if you spend 120 bucks here's $14 or 12. Like I'm like hell yeah I'm going to use that. Like >> absolutely. Well, especially now like I I think it was literally just yesterday that um or no no yesterday the GOP was saying something about how Trump since he's taken office the average American's pay has increased a thousand dollars. But then it was just like last week or

two weeks ago when he was saying, you know, everybody's groceries are cheaper. >> And I was like, that is not my truth. That is not my experience. >> Agreed. I hate my grocery tax. Do you guys have grocery tax at all? >> No, we don't have grocery tax. Bless it. Um but I just you know this the digital thing is such a for me it feels it's these things intensified because of co and I mean I remember in the early early days of co I was like this is going to be an absolute

disaster people are going to corporations like this are going to take advantage of this market they're going to you know take advantage of the the limited supply chains and all this sort of stuff. And it was like one of those things that I kept seeing Thomas Massie talking about over and over and over again. He's like, "We've got to cut out these middlemen. You you can't shut a country down. You can't do these things because the impact the the inflation impact is going to just keep going for

years and years." And that's what we're I mean, this is this is not just Biden. It's not just like the Trump tariffs. This is a more direct result of COVID and thinking that you can close a country down over a flu, >> right? Um, >> get ready for that mosquito one. >> Yeah. Well, and that's that's the thing, too, is, you know, I was I felt like probably I'm in good company here, but I felt like I was one of the only people in the very beginning. I was like, I

don't care if this has a 50% death rate. You don't force people to stay home. people like I I can promise you that I want to live more than anybody else wants me to live. So if I really feel like there's a risk and I am one of those you know weirdo immuno compromised people that >> right I will decide whether or not to stay home and you know I especially in the summertime I I put forth effort to try to catch co because I thought >> get >> okay vitamin D I because at the time too

I we were living in Buffalo and I was like if I catch COVID in the winter I'm a goner. Um, and actually, I mean, I don't want to like bring the temperature down, but my dad caught COVID over Christmas time, and that's what killed him a few years ago. So, it's like, and he's also where I get all of my autoimmune nightmare nonsense. So, it but even still, like, it's like, you know, my dad was the perfect storm of why COVID can kill a person. But that was for me the starting point where you

could sort of see like, oh, okay, groceries aren't going down. Inflation is not going to stop. Everybody is going to take advantage of this unbelievable overreach into our lives. So now I just watch the pennies and pinch them whenever I can. And >> like our boomer parents, do you remember our boomer moms where we wash like ziplockc bags? I don't >> Yes. And tinfold plastic. They were so cheap and penny pinchers back then and then they totally changed later in life, right? But they were such like and it

wasn't to be green. It wasn't to like save the earth. It was to save money because they were broke as you know things were different back then. >> Turn those bags inside out and let them dry. >> Oh, absolutely. Exactly. >> Those are expensive. You reuse that. >> Right. I I want to I'm pointing something out here. I guess maybe I just don't use coupons just because I don't get the paper anymore. Or maybe it's just because I'm lazy and I don't seek

them out. And when that stuff comes in the mail, shame on me. I I just kind of depend on the uh the little digital barcode that uh used to be on a keychain until that broke off. I I had it on my cheat my >> loyalty the loyalty. >> I had that for like 13 years until the the ring finally broke off. >> You can just type in your phone number, >> right? Or you could just type in um your area code and 367 uh wait 867530. >> Stop. >> No, I'm serious. you do that because so

many people put that in for the discount. >> That's fine. >> I still use We don't have a landline anymore and that's I still use the landline number at Kroger. We don't even have that phone number anymore. So I'm like I'm sorry if someone else is using it but I'm also using it. So >> we are all benefiting gas. >> Yeah. You just you type in type in your area code um and then the Jenny phone number. What is it? 8675309. and you'll get your discount and you

don't have to worry about all the But what I want to point this out though, Cara makes a good point. Um, she's a couponer. Her stockpile room is gone down bad though. But, but look at this. Kroger digital coupons will stack with each other, too. So, hold on a second. Cara, you're saying that I could take a paper coupon and I could use my my Kroger little barcode that that now is on an app. Um, thank you. Um, and you can combine Okay, dear. I got to go and start getting coupons again. Yeah,

Kroger has digital and paper. Like Kroger, even at the at the stand, they're like, "Did you enter the digital coupon?" I'm like, "No." She's like, "All right, I'll put it in. If it's anything on this list, you'll get I'm" I'm like, "Cool. Thank you." on top of a >> That's great. >> Yeah, because you'll get an extra like I'm cuz we're in stone fruit season, so I got cherries $2.99 a pound just because of that digital coupon. I'm a

clipper, man. I'm going add that in. I'm going to take advantage of every discount I can. You're going to have to define uh stone fruit for me. I'm not cultured. >> Cherries, nectarines, peaches. Yeah, plums. >> How does it get that? Oh, is that it? Is it pit? That makes it a stone. Why can't they just call them pit fruits? Oh, I see why. I don't care. >> It's not as sexy. >> I was going to say that that that doesn't quite do the trick. Okay. Um,

let's see here. I want to show y'all a kitchen that I'm not I'm not an aesthetics guy. I don't care. Whatever. But this kitchen is something else. And now I kind of want I want a kitchen like this and see what y'all think of this because y'all have sensibilities. Watch this. I I had to turn the sound down because I said I had to turn the sound down because I don't want YouTube to flag it. Okay, look at this thing. He's a little fast forward, but look, he puts

his hand under there, turns the lights, so it makes the shelf come down. I mean, that's freaking cool. Look at that. Little touch that. Oh my gosh. How cool is this thing? Like, I want this kitchen. Look at that. Look at Look at that. Huh? >> That's got to be in Asia. They have all those really cool compartments. >> Look at that. >> That's not builder grade. >> It's more stuff to break. I feel like it'll just break and then you got to fix it. The automated.

>> That's how I am with cars. >> Thinking about this for my RV would be amazing, though. >> That's cool. Little stair. Look at that thing. You see that? That's cool. >> All right. Spice rack. >> Yeah, it scratches the like everything has a place itch. >> Wait, what's in here? >> What is that? A room divider. >> I don't know. All right. Well, >> why don't >> they have what a good ear? >> Oh my gosh, you're right. What is that?

Who just Yeah, just put that anywhere. >> What the hell? That's a good catch. Oh my god. I'm a gem junkie. Sorry. >> Oh, sorry. I'm still looking at the picture and I'm sitting here bitching about it and y'all don't even see it. Yeah, I was looking at that damn uh picture that you just uh you talked about the kettle bells on the uh on the counter there. Uh now I can't find the picture to put it back up for you. Anyway, um let me see. Uh I want to I want to show this to you here. Speaking

of working out and stuff, look at this. This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it and it prints you a free bus ticket. Try that in American liberals with super fat shaming, abbleism, authorized glue. That's a great point. But what do y'all think of this? What do you think of this government sponsored exercise to get you a free bus ride? >> I love it. >> All day. If you're gonna have that If we're going to have it, why not? >> Can I do deadlifts instead of squats

because of my knees? >> My knees would die. >> Like I just can't do them anymore. But I would do some deadlifts. But yes, >> you did like like a one-legged squat, like a pistol squat or something. Do you get first class? Oh, can I get a free upgrade? >> That's okay. Now we're talking. Do I get some free drinks on this flight? >> You get a car without fentinel smokers. Hey, >> no one's smoking crack in your car if you do this. >> That's how Colorado is, in case anyone's

wondering. >> Colorado's also could be New York City, too. >> Going back to the grocery stores in Colorado. Uh, not paying for bags when I'm there in a couple weeks. Not paying for >> No, they don't even have them. Most of the stores don't even have them anymore. So, you can pay for a paper bag or whatever. But, but we're saving the environment by not having bags. Even though there's homeless encampments, it's so dumb. It is so dumb. These people >> Austin did the same thing. I think they

brought them back though. Like, it was so unpopular they brought the bags back. Like, it lasted for >> Remember when they won't use paper plastic? plastic's better for the environment, which the plastic bags and I would reuse them. I use them for trash bags and the little the little trashes or poop, dog poop, but now they're like, "No, you need to buy single-use plastic for that stuff." And I'm like, "Well, that's worse." >> Yeah. Seriously, my mom also, she lives

in a state where she lives in Delaware, they can't have plastic bags either. So, now I save them for her and she really literally I mean, she takes them home in her suitcase when she flies home. >> Oh my god. >> Yep. I can't stand. >> If you guys have Menards, those bags are the best. >> Which bags? Menards. The the Home Depot or the Home Yeah. Yeah. So, um, >> do you ever send her, Laura, do you send your mom like a box? It'd be the lightest box ever. It's just filled with

plastic bags. That's awesome. >> I've never mailed them, but she's always I mean, she really You got Do you got plastic bags for me? Yes, Mom. I've got >> You used to have so many. It was like you used to get so many it was like coming out. It was busting out your cabinet, right? I'm like now I don't have any anymore. It's like >> Let me Okay, hold on a second. It's gotten to the point that I have um I have plastic bag uh overflow and and I'm

kind of getting to that point right now. I'm in this I got plenty in the garage. It's overflowing. I got plenty in the kitchen. It's overflowing. Plenty in the laundry room. And now I'm just I'm kind of like, you know what? I'll throw this bag away. You know, I have so many. Um, so >> I'm flush with them. >> Yeah, I I we we we're swimming in the bags here. >> Uh, >> I reuse them as like trash bags in my little trash cans like in bathrooms and

my laundry room and stuff cuz >> Yes. >> I I mean, my mom can only have but so many. >> Uh, let's see here. Um, do y'all have any uh any hidden talents? Remember, this is a family show.

Uh not to be confused with a local attorney who goes by the name of the Texas Hammer. Um but uh >> I just for one second I would like Texans to just calm down a little. >> Did somebody injure you in an accident? See, this is only this is only funny to like 2% of the audience if if if that. Uh but there's a local lawyer who goes

A 66-year-old Mr. Hammerhand has shattered expectations, crushing 293 walnuts in 60 seconds while holding a raw egg in his striking hand. What in the Watch this? >> Oh, hang. Yeah. >> I thought those were eggs. the llama. >> And there's an egg in his hand. >> In the hand that he's hitting him with. >> Yes. In his hammer hand.

>> Uhoh. >> What a cool talent. >> What a cool talent. >> You can't really demonstrate it at a party unless somebody >> like how does one discover this? That's what I was thinking. Like how do you discover I I can hold an egg in my hand and crush 200 walnuts. What? Like how did we get there? >> Uhoh. We lost one, bro. Oh no. Get it together, man. >> Everywhere. >> We missed a couple. Don't keep going. >> Failure. >> Oh yeah. Oh my god.

We're out of time. The guests are arriving. I need 293 walnuts cracked. Can you help me? >> But here, hold on a second.

>> Set up and they have a whole setup for it. Like is there a walnut crushing setup that you can buy? >> A little grooved thing like >> what else? >> I always have questions about an origin story. Like how did you how did we arrive here? Who ate the first oyster? >> Who discovered which mushrooms were edible and which ones would give you funny brain? Like I just >> this one tastes good with a with a steak. This one will kill you. >> Right. Why is it shout out to that person

>> for some reason you just reminded me why is it they used to feed prisoners in the state of Maine lobster and now it's lobster come on >> it's the best food >> it's market manipulation that's what it is ladies >> yes but it's the best food >> it is the best food >> I mean lobster's good yeah >> so good >> okay I want to play some animal videos I haven't done that today this is a cute little seal thing that comes up and says

peekaboo Look at this guy. Huh? Oh, isn't that cute? That's cute, right? It's kind of cute. >> Cute. >> Oh, I was like, what am I looking at? >> You're looking down in the ice hole. >> Into an ice hole. A >> He's saying, "Give me some food. Don't just stand there recording me for >> Give it a little." >> Does he need help getting out? What's the problem here? >> Oh, >> I don't know how long this video is.

What's happening here? You going to come out? got you got any food? If not, I'm out of here. >> Bye. He's like, "Bye." >> You cannot show this to my sister. She'll want to take it home. >> Oh, okay. All right. So, there you go. There's a little seal there. Okay. Let's see what else we got. Oh. Oh my gosh. Okay. This is These are two board dogs. Um they they're they're used to rustling up cattle, but uh No. No. We got a cat to entertain us. Look.

Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. They're totally doing their thing. >> Yeah. >> Those are border collies. Yeah. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> And the cat's just like oblivious. Like, what now? Now, these guys are taking their job seriously. And then this mut comes up. He's like, "Hey, what's going on over here? Huh? What are you all doing?" >> But I love these. I mean, these guys are awesome. >> My in-laws have border collies and they

will hurt my kids like that. like snapped their ankles and like heard my children. It's the funniest thing. >> Wait, it's funny or did they not break the dog at that? Because Tanner did that in the early days that we had him and Zely at the time was uh uh four years old, four years old, maybe five. And he would do that. He he wouldn't nip at them, but he would definitely try to hurt them. >> And I broke that from him. But um >> no, hurt my kids, please. watch work on you.

>> He does. >> This uh this video just came out today. Have you seen the little Pomeranian dog with the bear in Canada? >> The bear. >> Yeah, this is good stuff. So, the bear just wanders into a house and he's like, "Ah, let's see if there's any food in here. Let's be having better luck than that seal did." And then the next thing you know, the dog chimes in. >> Volume up, Keith. Yes. [Music] >> Uhuh. [Laughter] Oh my word. >> You go.

>> How great is that? Huh? That bear is gone. And the dogs all barking and stuff. I love it. That's That's a good guard dog right there. >> It's always the little dogs. >> Always. >> Always. >> Uh let's see. >> If I'm showing a house, I would rather go in a house. A story. >> Oh, like a chihuahua. I'm out. I'm not showing your house. Wait, I got a >> I know. They're They can be terrible. >> Yes. >> Oh, not Matilda.

>> I know. I've always rescued mine. So, like I got to pick if they were terrible or not. So, >> see, I I think that uh she's a cheel. Matilda, part beagle. So, I think her temperament, she got the beagle. >> Yeah, mine have always been mixes, too. My other little dog was like probably Minpin mix. And this guy, he looks like a tiny German Shepherd, but he's not. I mean, he's not German Shepherd, obviously, but like it. >> Is it just me that when when you're

>> It's just I know it's just me. >> Dear God, someone in the chat, please please um uh uh help me out here and tell me I'm not alone. Um, this is a safe space. But when you think of the dog, like the mixed dogs, am I the only one who tries to think, >> I wonder which one was a dude when they made that puppy cuz that's right. The logistic Thank you. Yes. And you're because if it's a German Shepherd Chihuahua, you got to think >> there's a lot of short dog like the

short German or golden retriever mixes that were mixed with like a corgi or whatever. And it's like how how >> so it's not me. It's not just me. Thank you. >> What happened there? >> Yeah, right. I like Okay, hold on. Let me just let me one more thought on this. >> Was there a step ladder? >> Get on the couch and maneuver. Okay. All right. Yes. Okay. Thank you. I'm glad it's not just me. All right. One of the things I've been trying to do lately is

on these Friday live streams is make sure that we remind everyone uh where we've been as a nation and how we could absolutely end up back there. uh the COVID era. Uh just give them an excuse and they will definitely take advantage. Don't forget the California skate park. Don't forget we got to fill it with sand because we can't have kids enjoying the outdoors. They might all get the co people forget that. >> They shut down parks. They shut down parks. They shut down outdoor spaces.

They shamed people for going to the reservoirs and stuff. >> And I'm like, how? And now these people are just still going like they weren't completely wrong. You were completely wrong. >> I agree. >> And they they arrested >> the workers. I'm sorry, but the workers just doing your job. Uhuh. No excuse. >> I can't believe we live through this. Like I think about this often. Like I cannot believe we live through this. And I can't believe most people were just

like, "Yeah, this is what we're doing." >> You catch that? This is why your worker there is doing his job cuz he's wearing a [ __ ] mask inside by himself. What in the hell? >> Oh god. >> I I was just saying this recently too that >> I lived through September 11th and this still had a more significant impact on >> Amen. >> my brain, >> the way that I view other people. >> Um it was >> it was just so terrible. Like I know that sounds maybe

dramatic, but I just the overreach, the the panic, the hysteria. >> Well, well, >> but it was like I always say I'm >> not a victim, but I definitely have PTSD from this. >> It was like bad. >> Yes. >> But you can't Yeah. >> I was gonna say to your point, and I agree completely as far as affecting our lives that we see every day, >> absolutely. COVID more of an impact than 911. But we didn't realize behind the scenes how law enforcement had changed

overnight and now they were spying on us, saying they were spying on terrorists. Um, and all of the all of the things that have come with the post 911 world. In fact, here's a good opportunity for me to tease. >> Uh, there's a Thursday deep dive coming up on September 11th. It happens to fall on a Thursday. and Steve Fren, FBI whistleblower, who by the way, just my god, my brain. Dan Bonino, Cash Patel, what are you doing? Get the whistleblowers. If you're not going to take them back because you don't want to

be surrounded by honorable people because that would that would just that would taint the whole FBI to have real good people in there. Um, then at least give them their back pay and their security clearances. But anyway, Steve Friend will be joining me on 911 to talk to us about uh how America changed after 911. So I didn't want to interrupt you but uh I think what happened u was was happening >> out of sight after 911 whereas the co [ __ ] was in our faces every day ruining lives taking lives uh just based on on

on the fallout from that if we want to get into the vaccine and all that stuff but stealing childhoods um uh taking away experiences I mean >> snitching on your neighbors snitching on your neighbors for having their people over I know everybody has an example of this, but it was going to be Ezra's last year of little league baseball. He got two practices in with his new team and then nope, we're done. And it's like those are things that that are not replaceable. >> The damage caused like there are things

that they never got to experience because of the most maddening policies. And the worst part of it really, if you think about it, the same sons of [ __ ] that did stuff like this, like Gavin Newsome, are still in office. >> Yeah. >> That's so true. >> Yeah. I I mean, I I think I've tweeted this before. Um, we need a real January 6th. I I just don't >> Thomas Jefferson, is that you? >> Yeah. Well, and I so for me I mean and Keith like this is I think what made you

find my Twitter feed in general when I said the government's favorite activity is to use fear to strip you of your rights. And that was my personal experience with that. >> You tweeted that long before there was any lockdown or mask mandates or anything like that. >> And there was background there because I'm one of those crazy OG antivaxers. Um, I was injured by a vaccine when I was a baby and so I don't vaccinate my kids >> and I I live >> lucky kids. >> Would you say

>> lucky kids? >> Well, yeah. And I mean, even I did vaccinate my son on schedule until he was two because I thought, well, just cuz I was injured doesn't mean he's going to be. And then I started noticing just patterns of things that they don't describe to you when you go to the doctor's office. And they're like, "Oh, you should just look for, you know, a fever and redness at the injection site." And I was like, "Okay, but what about the um back arching scream that he's my

two-month-old is doing?" Like, do you have an explanation for that? Like this otherwise happy baby is now miserable. Anyway, but I I lived in New York when they took away the religious exemption. And the only reason I didn't have a medical exemption was because in New York, you could have a sibling die from a vaccine and the other child, the other sibling cannot get a medical exemption from vaccines. If you are injured by a vaccine, you only get a medical exemption in the state of New York for

that vaccine. No other vaccines on the schedule. So, I knew that my chances of getting a a medical exemption for my kids were nil. So, I did a religious exemption. And I'm actually not an advocate of a religious exemption. I I think that you should be able to be philosophically opposed to them that has nothing to do with religion. >> Um, but because it's usually an untouchable exemption, except for in New York and California, Mississippi, believe it or not, West Virginia. Um, but I lived in

New York when they took away the religious exemption. And that impacted my life in a huge way because I had gone from homeschooling my kids in Haiti to hoping to be able to send them to school um after living confined on a compound for two years and then I was not able to to send them to school there. And I was just like, it's the fear of what people don't know. Like that like that post that you just put up there, that comment. >> Yeah. >> People have a fear. >> Yeah. It was a test, an obedience fueled

by and with fear. Amen. >> So good. And >> I saw that early on because I'm like, you guys, like how much even if you ask your general practitioner what they know about the measles, they actually don't know very much and they don't know how beneficial it is to get the measles and overcome the measles. It is a cancer preenter. It's an immune system booster. It is a growth spurt prompter in children. So all of these things now, is it fun to have the measles? No. Is it worse to get the measles vaccine? Yes.

And so it's it's all about pros and cons and what you understand. And I had to learn >> from Suzanne Humphre. Actually, she was just on Joe Rogan not that long ago. I had to learn from her book about all of these viruses that we just taught to be afraid of. And I just thought, gosh, you know, they really do use this fear to prompt you to inject yourself with Yep. >> really unknown things. >> Yep. >> Or knowingly dangerous things. And so when COVID I I mean, you heard

the utterances in January of 2020, I guess, because it was still over there. It hadn't quite reached us yet. And I just and that's what prompted me to tweet that out because I was like, I have seen how they use fear to take away your right to be religiously opposed to a pharmaceutical product. >> And when you say it like that, you're like this. I mean, I >> you think it was a scop with the whole Jenny McCarthy thing to make like antivaxers look bad or something because that was like a couple years before.

>> You know what I mean? So it was like to discredit anybody who questions it. >> Totally. I mean, cuz God forbid a woman who wanted to, I don't know, show off her body on on MTV or or Playboy or whatever, she has a child, she sees the damage that this thing did to her child. So, she's discredited because you saw her tits. Like, I don't understand like like I I just like I mean, it's like >> I know that's so true. >> She's Yeah, the co the COVID vaccine,

they're like, "You're going to feel sick after it." And I'm like, "Well, how about I just get sick and feel sick? Why do I need to purposely make myself sick? Like, >> right. Right. And the more I talk to people postcoid, I've had it less than the vaccinated twice. >> I haven't been sick in five years. Like, >> yeah, >> there you go. >> And I'm just like, you know. Yeah. Oh, and I'm seeing too people are still masking. I see it in Texas and I'm

always >> I do too. I've seen it. >> Yeah. I'm like, guys, come on. Well, I >> do you remember they said you wear masks to protect other people. So, are they saying they're sick when Oh, no. Now it's switched. Now they're just like, it's so stupid what happened. >> It is helpful though when you see the mask in public because then then you don't have to wonder. I wonder if this person's a dumbass. Oh, yeah. Confirmed. >> There's a caveat, and this is the

caveat. >> The the black folks who would wear masks were doing it because they were like, I'm not taking that vaccine. I'll wear a mask, but by and large they're like, "Have you not heard of Tuskegee?" Because I have, right? I'm not taking I'll wear a mask, but I'm not taking parametric. >> Why would you when it comes to vaccines? I mean, you could This could This could cover any number of things, but especially when it comes to vaccines. Why would you trust the federal damn

>> And you got banned for bringing that up. Even my black friend on Twitter got banned for bringing that up. The test was like, >> "What? I've been there. >> There's a there's an article that was going around. I think I saw it this morning and it was it I think it was like the New York Times or something because now everybody's figuring out that they're getting sick from it and they're like, why didn't they tell us before? What did they know? And I'm

like, >> y'all kicked us off and everyone y'all shouted us down. >> Like seriously. So my my sister died from the vaccine. She died the same day that she got it. She was forced by her job. She got it at nine o'clock in the morning and was dead by 5:00 pm. And like people still shouted me down and I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna get crazy about it, but like, hey, like this is why I'm not gonna get it. You're lying, right? >> You know, honestly, >> they didn't care. They didn't care. If

you died within a couple days of the vaccine, that didn't count. But if you died within 60 days of a positive COVID test, you died from COVID. >> Yes. Your shot. her death on paper has not she died unvaccinated because there's a but most people don't know this there's a 14-day period after you get your vaccine that you're not considered vaccinated. So since she died the same day so much. They played with members so much. Like how could no I'm an idiot and I saw this stuff. Like how

do these people not see like not see this and they would yell at us and even as bad as Twitter was, >> Twitter still had the information. Like I found all the people where I'm like no this isn't right. So thank God for that that there was still information out there. >> We love you Twitter. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was really nice to find your little pockets of people that sort of felt like you cuz cuz you go out into the real world and you're sort of like this this is the Twilight Zone. I have

never experienced anything like this in my life. And it was nice to find like-minded people who were like, "No, this is >> genuinely crazy. This is insane." And you know this is >> and you couldn't even >> even after two years of evidence about the vaccine, you still couldn't talk about it on social media. I just looked it up. Uh uh Elon Musk purchased X in October of 2022. I mean it was two years before you could openly even discuss it without >> Forest Mommy back in January 2023.

>> Y >> now I forgot that you were without. >> That's right. >> That like fell out of my brain. Yeah. That happened to so many people and I >> Yeah. >> And that that's what Okay, Elon, I love you. All the things I've said about you sending private messages to Rebecca, please ignore. I I I don't I don't understand why I never got banned. I I've I've the only issue I ever had was and I kept posting it without comment. Like eventually I would post it without

comment. What I'm referring to is I don't even think it's on YouTube anymore. During the 2020 election, there was a 15minute montage. No narration, no words, nothing. It was just a montage of Joe Biden. Laura, have you ever met Joe Biden? Anyway, touching prepubescent girls and being inappropriate with women at the Senate swearing in ceremony. 15 minutes, no commentary. Yeah. >> And And I posted that. They they they made me take it down. I posted it again without comment. made me take it down.

That was the only run in I've ever had uh with X and that was before Elon, obviously. >> So, I posted my story of Joe Biden rubbing me and I never got banned. >> Back up. >> Yeah, I heard the story. >> When did you When did you post that though? >> During the whole When Do you remember the the picture the selfie that he took with like the black chick at the graduation? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I retweeted that because there was like something about that specifically. So, I

retweeted that picture and and told my story in thread form. And so, so this is what happened. So, I used to work and if you're in the Delaware area, you should totally go at Christmas time. There's this conference center in Delaware called the Buenav Vista State Conference Center and now you can have weddings there and stuff. I mean, it's just it's so beautiful. The property is like, you know, I don't know, built in like the 1700s or something like that. It's a beautiful old home. The family sold it

to the state for a dollar because they wanted the state to have it. And so at the time when I worked there, it was like a summer job and we only did events. We hosted like like lunch meetings and stuff for other for state agencies. So like you know Department of Education, but just like Delaware Department of Education, Delaware Department of Transportation, that sort of thing. >> Is that the picture? >> That's the one. That's the one that I retweeted. >> That's beautiful.

>> So, but obviously like we would make special accommodations for politicians and things because it was a beautiful old home, a beautiful estate. And so, he wanted to host an event there. And so, it was a big deal because it was an evening event and we had to like dress and like, you know, caterer clothes and all this kind of stuff. It was really fun. And so, he came back in because it was so the the circumstances were extraordinary. He came back into the kitchen afterward to like thank all

of the staff who, you know, worked so hard and blah blah blah. So, he's going through the c crowd and he's like smoozing. And this was like in his cognitive heyday. So, he >> you could see how he became a politician because he wasn't greasy actually. He he made eye contact eye contact with you. He engaged you in a sort of meaningful way actually. Like I watched him working the crowd and I was sort of impressed actually because growing up in a conservative family he was like ew Joe

Biden. But like >> I was just sort of admiring his ability to work the crowd. But then he thanked me last and um like turned to make like a little speech to everybody who was there. So he just stood there the whole time going like this to my arm but like >> he had his like arm around me. So, it was like this and he literally for the like two minutes that he was standing there giving a thank you speech to everybody, he just kept going like this the whole time. And I'm like trying to

like Yeah. Like I was just like >> it was so intimate. >> It was it was so familiar >> that >> I was just like >> I don't know what to do. But I mean he had his arm around me so like I couldn't >> Yeah. maneuver away or like try to Right. Right. I know. And I remember like years later I told my dad >> right there is the worst. >> Yes. Yeah. See, it wasn't that intimate. >> It was like that in Colorado. We have a GOP guy in Colorado who's like made so many people

uncomfortable where it's like stop, >> right? >> Stop. Go away. Like with people. >> Yes. And for me, that was the conflict, right? Because, you know, I mean, if you read the love languages, like if you've got physical touch and acts of service and all that, >> and I just thought, well, I don't want to be that person who's like, cuz this is my 15-year-old brain. >> I don't want to be that person who is like alarmist or whatever. But then you you you become an adult and you watch

these montages and you're like there's no way that he has not been told Joe keep your hands in your pockets because at this point it feels like as an adult looking back and seeing the way that he behaves with people I'm like this he gets off on this like there's >> this is this is predatory behavior. This is he is >> that's the word. >> This is sexual for him because there's no way that you watch yourself like this and don't have self-awareness when

you've been in the game for this long unless it's >> psychopath thing cuz like psychopaths get worth each time they don't get told no, right? Never been told no. He's never been told no in his life, right? So, >> no. Nope. >> We all have psychopathic traits. Like we all kind of a little bit, right? But not like this. Not Joe Levels. >> Not Joe Le. >> Poor girl. >> How do you not know someone's uncomfortable? Like they know. And that's part of it, too, is they know

they're like dominating to a certain extent. >> Power thing. Yep. >> Yep. So, yeah. >> Yeah. You know. >> Yeah. But I mean, it's not like somebody like that could ever become, you know, president. >> No, we would never elect, especially not the left-leaning people. Believe all women. >> Oh my god. >> You know, believe all 15y olds. Who? Telling you. >> It's funny. Now they're doing that with the Epstein stuff. Like you're like, you

guys didn't care for years and now you're like, oh, we can take down. I'm like, you >> I know. There's no moral consistency on that one. And it's like, look, I don't care who it bring bring them all down. Clear out the entire, you know, capital. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> Burn it all down. >> Burn it all down. >> Yeah. >> I in fact, I think I had a >> What? What the hell was my tweet? I don't even know. But it was something like if uh if revealing the Epstein list

would uh would >> crash the government, >> clear out 85% of the government or whatever, you know, so be it. >> Would you be for it? And uh yeah, >> good. >> Yeah. I don't understand. >> And I got push back from some people. >> Yeah. >> Really? >> Yeah. I'm trying to find that tweet. Whatever. >> My husband and I go back and forth on that. He's one of those. He was like, "Well, you know, like it would be bad for the government, you know, and us."

And I'm like, >> "If it needs to be bad for any government, it's this one. >> Do it." >> Yes. >> Well, there's a line. Yes. There's a line in the JFK movie, actually, ironically, where um Cosner's character says something like, "Though the heavens fall," or like, "Let justice rain though the heavens fall." and it's it's uh translated from a Latin term, but that was essentially his argument in JFK was we don't know what's going to be

uncovered when the truth is revealed here, but it doesn't actually matter. We need we need justice to happen even if it brings the house down. >> Agreed. >> Um but then he said, you know, don't forget your dying king. And I was like, I don't have king. But but it's the sentiment is there like >> Jesus Christ, >> you know, >> even what we we were promised JFK like thorough JFK files and I want actually this is interesting because Cash is on video saying to Glenn Beck,

um, I've read them and you guys aren't asking the right questions. >> Absolutely. But then we get this, yeah, we get this incredibly empty JFK file and it's like, well, wait a second. What questions do you think we need to be asking? Because >> you essentially said in that interview, you know who did it. So, what questions do we need to be asking, Cash, now all of a sudden? >> And they said they have videos. They said they had it on their desk. They had they gave it to those the binder thing,

whatever that was. >> Oh my god, that was the worst thing ever. Reminder to Cash, we don't have to ask [ __ ] You're the FBI director. >> Tell us, >> right? >> Very been very disappointing for me. I had I had really high hopes for Cash and Dan Bonino. >> The and Pam Bonnie, I mean, the Department of Justice is is so far it is the B it's below the basement when it comes to job performance under this new administration. Yeah, I'm so disappointed. And >> we're draining the swamp again. We're

draining that swamp again. >> And I'm really disappointed in me because these are the exact people that I wanted in these positions. >> It's not like I'm just disappointed. Oh, new FBI, same as the old FBI. This is who I would have handpicked. >> Yeah. >> And look at this. I >> Were they still part of a group? Wasn't Bonino and Cash like brought up in some group, groomed up in some group together at some point? I have to look more into that. But like like everything in

politics, >> everybody comes from somewhere. A lot of them are found in just on the left and the right for example was one of these people where they like groom them up and do all this stuff with it. And it's like that's why I thought Cash and Bonjino like came from some similar >> group or something. But >> probably, >> hold on a second. I want to put this on the screen and then I have a question for all of you please. Uh Jeffy apologist uh Cash's performance has been

the beginning of the black pill for me. Um yes absolutely. Okay. So so I this is a perfect opportunity. I feel like such a dumbass >> on a regular basis but specifically when it comes to the whole pill talk. Okay. So let's go through these. Let's talk red pill, blue pill. I can get some of that pill. But the black pill is like there's no hope, right? Like what's the what? Go. Somebody go through the pills for me. Damn it. >> There's white pill. That's like super

optimist. Like everything's going to be okay. >> I've never been white pill. Next. >> You can. No, there are white pill moments. So like this is what I like in Colorado, which is totally taken when I'm fighting so hard and we have these little moments. These little moments where we do have a little win, which most people don't see because they're not as involved. But I'm like, those are my white pills. But I'm clown pilled. I'm clown pilled. I just laughing it

off. >> I don't think there I don't think there's start writing these down. >> I'm I'm more blackpilled, but I get white pills. And also, I'm like, what what the heck else am I supposed to do with my life? Just be depressed and stuff like I can be blackpilled and still like >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> Hang on a second. Hang on. >> Yeah. I think the I think the chronically online black pill is a dangerous road to go down because >> and I was like that on Twitter for a

really long time, which is part of the reason why I took a break. I was like, I have to get out of this realm of like everything is terrible all the time because the grass is green, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and so I'm going to go out and experience that and enjoy that. >> Yeah. >> Despite the fact that I know that I mean this is like again, not to bring it back to Thomas Massie, who I actually genuinely love and respect, but he always calls DC Mordor. And I'm like,

that's so fitting because that's what it is. And you just have to remember that even with Mordor, the Shire still existed. And so I try to like live in that space where this is genuinely terrible. These people are Look at Keith. >> Yeah. Yeah. [ __ ] over my head. Damn it. >> Don't for Don't forget Jess's clown pill. >> I'm getting so fast. So hang on a second, Jess. Uh okay. So is this right? White pill optimist, black pill pessimist. Uh, red pill, conservative, right? Right.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Or Republican because that's the difference. >> Republican. No, not Republican. >> All right. Red pill is just, you know, that the like media is lying and that they're all like you can be like, >> is there things such as blue pill that we're not talking about? I've never heard that. The boner pill. Is it can you be bluepilled and be a liberal? Is that right or no? >> Yeah. I think you're bluepilled until you're redpilled or something like that.

Hi. >> Tell us about the clown pill. >> Just laugh at it and have fun with it. That's because people like get mad. They like tell me to stop doing what I do and I'm like it brings me joy. It brings me joy. And will it do anything in the long run? Probably not. But it brings me joy while I'm here. So, >> okay. So, we got the white pill, we got the black pill, we got the red pill, the blue pill, clown pill. Am I am I missing any pills here? Not that I know of. No, we're good. Okay, so that covers it.

All right, then we nailed it. I know more than I thought. >> World questions now. Yeah. >> Okay, cool. Very good. Um, so this is a fun little segue from that discussion. Uh, the human freedom index. This is from KO uh presents uh the state of human freedom in the world based on a broad measure that encompasses personal, civil, and economic freedom. And then I'll stop reading the press release. But let's Oh, here we go. This is what I was looking for. It's the HFI, the human freedom index.

See if you guys agree with this. It's a a broad measure of human freedom understood as the absence of coercive constraint. Uh this 10th annual index uses 86 distinct indicators of personal and economic freedom in the following areas. So they got them broken into subsections. So so as I'm reading through these, this is what the rankings are going to be based on. uh rule of law, security and safety, movement, religion, uh association, assembly and civil society, expression and information, relationships, size of

government, legal system and property rights, sound money, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation. Would anyone like to do Do me a favor right now. Write Get a piece of paper and a pen if you got that or write it on your hand. I don't care. Just this is quiz time. Yeah. That's what you get for being in that room, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, write down where you think in the world based on that criteria the United States of America ranks >> like a one to 10 you said.

>> No, no, no, no. I think it say 200 and something countries. How many countries are there in the world? >> Oh, where America is? Okay. >> There's over 200 countries. So, where is America on the human freedom index according to Kato Institute? >> One being most free. >> Yes. Yes. One being most free. Ding ding ding ding. And I wish I had sound effects or something. >> I don't have a pen, so I'm just gonna have to think it. >> Then you can be the first one.

>> Okay. >> And then you can go for Yeah. Okay. Uh let's see here. The countries took up. I'm just looking here. Okay. So, um I'll tell you, let me go through the top 10 and then we'll get to the United States. But first of all, uh let >> Oh, geez. They're not in the top 10 even. >> Oh, damn. Did I Did I show my hand or did >> just a smidge? >> Maybe I just uh Okay, so let's just let's just uh Kelly, what do you got? What number you going with?

>> You know, I went with my lucky number, which is 66. That's what I wrote down. >> 66. Okay, Laura. Sorry. Sorry, Kelly. You have more. I was I was going to say 50. >> 50 for Laura. Okay. Yeah. >> In the middleish. >> Jess, what you got? >> Well, I was gonna say something under 10, but I guess I'll do 15.1. No, I'm just kidding. I'll do >> 20. >> Is it 20? >> 20. Okay, 20. >> Cuz where else is there to go other than America? Like, where else can you go?

>> Taiwan. >> You're about to learn. You're about to get an education on all the free countries in the world. All right, let's just go through the top 10 list. Uh, how do I start? This is Okay, time out. Time out. KO and anyone writing a damn press release, I I need this. I I got I got a lot of needs here. I need you to rank them. I want you to do like a top. Start at 10 and then roll down to one and then do the rest of the list. Kind of like a kind of like a a coach's poll, right?

No, that would be the opposite, dumbass. And then the they got the others receiving votes. Anyway, um the point is they don't make this easy for me to try to break down here, so bear with me here. Uh 7 8 n tied at seven. Okay. All right. So, we're going to go from 10 to one. That's how we're going to do this. Okay. Estonia is number 10. See, now we we'll talk about some of these countries uh in Europe that uh that uh used to live under tyranny. Uh so Sweden is number nine. Iceland is number eight.

What the hell? Didn't they just write their constitution off of social media recently? Uh >> and they abort if you're if you're a Down syndrome baby, they abort you. >> I knew there was something else really bad. Yes, the KO Institute calls >> KO isn't great. I Yes, that's a very good point. I'm glad somebody said that. 1098. Uh, Australia seven. Australia 7. What in the hell is happening? >> No. >> They couldn't even go during between Western Australia and the other.

>> They had families meeting at a concrete wall like damn east and west Berlin during and this is a fact. If you were on the wrong side when they decided to close down the border, you had to Australia. >> I'm gonna I'm sorry. Sorry, I got to pause real quick. I have tiny human. >> Yeah, go, go, go. You're good. Number six is Finland. Number five is Ireland. Okay, >> I see what's happening in Ireland. Stop it. >> I don't even want to tell you where

America is now. Uh, four, Luxembourg. Three, Denmark. Two, New Zealand. They took away the guns in New Zealand. What the hell is wrong with this list? >> Wow. Number one most free country according to the human freedom index and Kato Institute versus >> Switzerland. >> Switzerland. Oh my gosh. I didn't y'all I didn't even look at this list. I I found America in the article and that's all I highlighted >> and and now I'm looking at this. I'm like >> what the [ __ ] Canada 11. Stop it. Ask

the Canadian truckers if it's free up there. Australia one being in like they can't I have friends from Australia moving here trying to get into America because they hate Australia so much, you know? Like how could that be more than America? I don't >> KO is awful. Sorry, that's that's my opinion, not Keith's opinion. >> It's fine. I have no opinion on KO. Uh uh Laura, you missed the number one freest country in the world is Switzerland. Then New Zealand, Denmark,

Luxembourg, Ireland, Finland. I think that's when you dropped off. 11 is Canada. Uh 12 is Japan. Uh let's see. Let's see. 13. Okay. So then we've got Germany and the United Kingdom. We get Okay. So then tied at 17 with Taiwan. Uh let's see. Tied at 17. This is weird. Uh >> socialism freedom. Is socialism freedom? >> It must be. Okay. I told you this is the most poorly written um press release. It doesn't say who we're tied with. It just says United States is tied at 17. We are

the 17th freest country uh in the world. Um I would have put us much lower too. Especially when you see some of the criteria are size of government and sound money and regulation. >> Yeah. And safety has no business with freedom. You cannot have both. >> Yeah. Was that that wasn't one of the things here? But yeah, you're right. Yeah. You I thought you said safety was one of the metrics. >> Yep. Security and safety. Yep. >> Correct. >> You can't you cannot in order to promise

safety, you have to infringe on liberty. >> For each woman, >> you just I mean, and it's it's radical, but you >> listen to this. >> You know, >> it puts Ukraine 122 and Russia 139. Yeah. Let's get involved there because we got to make sure that Ukraine stays free. >> Let's No, it's not my business. >> Not my business. >> Nope. Um, do you did y'all see this story here of the 30-year-old baby that was just born? >> The IV.

>> Any thought? >> Yeah. >> I didn't give you a heads up on this. I just printed this up and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna bring this up though. >> Oh, like the the >> 30 years frozen. >> The embryo >> embryo was frozen for a while. >> Yeah. He's got a uh he's got a dog. Let's see. Hold on a second. He's got a sister, right? That's 30 years uh or 10 or >> wasn't like the parents like born the same year the embryo was frozen or

something like that? >> Something like that. This is a poor copy of the story and it's it's incomplete. So, um but yes, there's some weird stuff like uh uh the baby was actually hatched in 90 well hatched recently but but stored in 94. Um, and so, uh, yeah. So, so the the lady that donated her embryos is 62, uh, now. Um, I'm just looking here. >> Why did the people want it? Is she like >> they had extra ones >> or what? She >> They're like, "Wait a minute. Is this

>> like a actual rocket scientist or >> she's got good jeans?" Oh, >> no. >> Racist alert. I apologize. Uh, >> hey. Okay, here's a good trivia question and then I I would love your thoughts on this, but how many babies do you think since they started doing IVF in 1978, how many babies you think have been born that way in the US >> million? >> 13 million. >> 2% of babies, one out of every 42 today are born this way. That's jaw-dropping.

Do you know they have a higher probability of >> oh >> behavioral issues um learning disabilities >> really >> and just overall health issues? >> What's the deal there? Do we do we have a theory as to why that is? >> That's not natural. It's not natural. >> True. >> I think because you're interfering with the >> the process. you're sort of, you know, >> well, and I think too, like we've had there I think there's a and and I this

is true at least in my life. There's so many women now that are having like reproductive issues like because of all the medicines that we're taking and our food and everything like that. >> Birth control, putting girls in birth control at freaking 15. >> I know. >> Like we we shouldn't be >> younger on synthetic hormones for, you know, 40 years or whatever it is. I'm so awesome is because I've never been medicated or unbirth. >> I did it for like

for me, but I just think yeah, that's probably >> all the fertility issues that we're having. I can't name you any of my girlfriends that don't have fibroids or PC, you know, whatever, like endometriosis, all that nonsense. >> Um, let me hit pause for a second here. >> Why Why didn't I reference the damn Matrix? Yes, of course. Duh. Yeah. see the truth with the red pill and the matrix. Yeah, I well I knew that but I wasn't thinking of how it applied to to

today. Go ahead. What? >> I was always anti-government in my own mind but I didn't >> I didn't take that next step. I feel like there is something that like takes that next step and the red pill is like kind of the best way to explain it because it's like >> red pill see the truth, blue pill stay in the matrix. I'm going to watch >> at least the first one again this weekend. I have to get >> remember when DVDs had just came out when Matrix came out. So like everyone

saw the Matrix back. Like it was so good. It was so good. >> Deal. >> I see that's the thing. See, there are some movies that I needed all my kids to watch. >> Yeah. >> And one's already out of the house. One's about to be out of the house. And and there's this long list of movies and that was one of them that I should have watched with them. Damn it. Okay.

And we're like cuz people get people are like, "Oh, I don't eat fast food blah blah blah." And I'm like, "I don't care. I don't eat it all the time." But Taco Bell, are you kidding?
