It's because you're here. So there you go. Thank you so much. If you missed yesterday's Thursday deep dive, Ashton Forbes was on here with Brad and myself. I'm sorry. No, no, Brad and me, I think I learned.

Every time I post and myself on Twitter, somebody always has to correct my grammar since I suck at it. But the Thursday deep dive yesterday pinned to the top here in the archive. Check it out if you haven't seen it already. If you just want to see the Ashton Forbes stuff, it's about an hour and 15 minutes in. He joins us and there's always critical updates as far as MH370 and all of the stuff that has happened in the three years of Ashton investigating. I mean, it's...

It's incredible stuff. So please check that out. A week ago on the Thursday deep dive, we had Steve Friend, former FBI, his letter grade for Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. Might surprise you. He's not happy with the state of the FBI. Shout out as always to Hero Wes for getting everything up at atthemicshow.com. See, it's right there. I would make a terrible weatherman. It's right there.

Oh boy. good. You feel good? I feel really, really good. I feel really good. Want to go for a run? Let's go for a run.

Not nearly as good as you apparently.

maybe later man. remember yesterday I asked you how many of these live streams you think I've done?

Brad (11:32.896)
That's right. And you left us on a cliffhanger.

Well, I mean, you didn't want to wait around for me to do my math.

No, actually, I just wanted to get the hell off.

and the way overtime. 258. 200. No, if you count. Remember when I did the life story thing, you were a two parter back then. And you know who I'm trying to try had on that original version of at the Mike show. It's a one five times August. Yeah, he was a part of that as well. You remember that Brad we I'm sorry. Yeah, this is gonna get

No! Hey!

Brad (12:04.192)
You're gonna have to. We've been through this before.

think we have, I think we have. Okay, so Mr. Five Times August was a guest in the original version of this, so we went through his life story. Great stuff there, man. And just, check out this, check out this. I have a signed copy of Silent War, a CD. wow. Yeah, right? I'm gonna find out after the shoot,

How about you get for that on eBay?

Less than had it not been signed.

So, I tell you, thank you, man, for making time here. obviously Brad stags, I drag him into this arena all the time. damn. The cash helps. Yeah.

Brad (12:46.932)
I mean, pay everybody 750 pays for a little bit of right.

Keith (13:40.366)
No, that's like Brad. Okay. Apparently Tanner also wants to be on the program today. Every day. Every day. Every day. mean, know, 90 % of the stuff that gets dropped or delivered here is for the dogs. You think that at some point they would chill out and be happy as opposed to angry every time the doorbell rings. fighting the mailman. Yeah, we figured it out recently. What sets him off is like, even if it's somebody that we like, I'm sorry, time out.

providing the mailman.

Keith (14:09.346)
Brad is the exception to this rule. Only with a little Matilda, they're the only human being that Matilda just is suss on. I guess so. But we figured it out that if you come to the door and we don't open it up and just let you in, and we're talking through the glass or we barely open it, what do you want? Door to door ceiling type. Tanner goes, he tries to kill them. Yeah, all right.

Only with one of them.

Brad (14:18.296)
We were married in a former life.

Brad (14:40.59)
going in through the window.

Brad (15:01.398)
Open for the Partridge family once, Keith.

the

Just you on tambourine for 30 minutes before they played. 70s were weird that way.

Brad (15:20.471)
Yeah.

Good.

Keith (15:45.452)
the good guys landed on Europe to take the continent back from the bad guys in Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. So I can say one nice thing about Bill Clinton and I greatly appreciated his 50th anniversary speech. It's a half an hour or so. So you guys wanna go and take a break, maybe go for a walk? No, I'm gonna pay just a couple of minutes from it because I think he did an excellent job with this, this entire speech.

When was it? When did he give it? Today?

No, no 50th anniversary 1994. Oh, so he was there and grief. Oh man, I know. So so I want to play just a little excerpt from that if you don't mind, because I think it's just a wonderful speech by an American president. And in Newcastle, Pennsylvania, a young mother named Pauline Elliott wrote to her husband, Frank, a corporal in the army. D-Day has arrived.

That's 30 years ago. I know.

Keith (16:44.354)
The first thought of all of us was a prayer. Below us are the beaches where Corporal Elliott's battalion and so many other Americans landed. Omaha and Utah, proud names from America's heartland, part of the biggest gamble of the war, the greatest crusade. Yes, the longest day. During those first hours on Bloody Omaha, nothing seemed to go right.

Landing craft were ripped apart by mines and shells. Tanks sent to protect them had sunk, drowning their crews. Enemy fire raked the invaders as they stepped into chest-high water and waded past the floating bodies of their comrades. And as the stunned survivors of the first wave huddled behind a seawall, it seemed the invasion might fail. Hitler and his followers had bet on it.

They were sure the Allied soldiers were soft, weakened by liberty and leisure, by the mingling of races and religion. They were sure their totalitarian youth had more discipline and zeal. But then something happened. Although many of the American troops found themselves without officers on unfamiliar ground, next to soldiers they didn't know. One by one, they got up.

They inched forward and together in groups of threes and fives and tens, the sons of democracy improvised and mounted their own attacks. At that exact moment on these beaches, the forces of freedom turned the tide of the 20th century. These soldiers knew that staying put amid certain death

But they were also driven by the voice of free will and responsibility nurtured in Sunday schools, town halls, and Sandlot ballgames. The voice that told them to stand up and move forward saying, you can do it. And if you don't, no one else will. And as Captain Joe Dawson led his company up this bluff and as others followed his lead, they secured a foothold for freedom.

Keith (19:09.314)
Today, many of them are here among us. they may walk with a little less spring in their step and their ranks are growing thinner. But let us never forget when they were young, these men saved the world. Man, I just think that. Eric and Grace.

I just. Lou. Eric Liu, he wrote that speech.

Oh, okay. Very good. Yeah. Well, I thought that was a well-delivered speech nonetheless, but 50th anniversary. So let's see. I looked this up today on Pac-Grey Unleashed, my day job over at the Blaze. I think it was 16 million served during World War II, and we're down to 66,000 that served during World War II still with us. I mean, 81 years ago.

was gonna ask who wrote that.

Brad (20:06.766)
26 years old. Average age soldier in World War II.

Wow, I would have said younger than that. World War II or Normandy? wonder what the average agent Normandy was.

Yeah, I know.

Brad (20:24.526)
Uh, let's see. The beautiful thing about this now is we can find the answer to that in about. It's some weird. It's a scream with a keyboard in front. don't know. heard that American troops at Normandy during D-Day was 22. Can you imagine what they, cause those guys, were running off those transports. like, uh, was it saving private Ryan? They said that it's like the most, one of the most accurate portrayals of that. just.

What do call that thing over there you're typing?

Brad (20:55.706)
I watched that recently. I watched that not too long ago and it was just like, you can't even imagine. you look at, compare a 22 year old back then and the life experience they had by that age to a 22 year old today. At least we had that generation

telling us those stories. Like I can remember my grandpa telling me war stories and he had this certain frame of life, you know, this life experience he's trying to, his ideal and what his values were and giving me those stories growing up in a frame of reference, you know, to understand how lucky I am. And that generation has, you know, little by little is going away. And so,

You know, the grandparents now are the hippie generation that came up after that. it's, it's a different, it's a different frame. So if you could get them to talk about it, cause a lot of those guys would not talk about it. Cause it was so horrific.

It's interesting you mentioned Private Ryan, my grandfather who was in World War II, I could never get him to watch that movie because...

I would want to right? Yeah, I was gonna say why would he want to yeah?

Keith (22:19.148)
but I mean it's basically what he heard about that opening scene. He was like, yeah, I don't need to see that. Thank you. Okay, gentlemen. So we do this every Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern here on MxPage. And so I lure unsuspecting guests such as yourself, Mr. Five Times August, into this not so rapid fire segment that we do.

where I just randomly just throw out some questions and answer however, take however long you need to. I think Brad has been a part of this so many times, he's probably heard the same questions about seven or eight times, am I right? Have I duplicated?

them I don't first I don't look at them beforehand and then I forget them afterwards so it's like I'm getting asked the same it's

Brad (23:17.304)
and have to be more specific.

Brad (23:28.62)
Seemings you can't you can only how long can you live without water like?

You can get it from the store, okay? You can go get bottles of water. I meant running water, I should have said. Running water, like clean water out of the tap.

so, that changes it because I that was an easy one because I was gonna say electricity and What I rather I rather

Brad (23:54.254)
I'm give you a genuine response though. This is like I'm having to think about it because I would rather live without running water.

Okay. Yeah. Cause then you still have the air conditioning, right? Yep. Mr. Five times August, what's your answer?

So you're saying we can buy water? I'm it's confusing. I'm it's everything. To say you can't have water every day.

I don't want you to die!

Well, how do we know that?

Keith (24:25.044)
That's a good point.

Yeah, yeah, You was I don't really want to, I don't really use running water that much anyway to drink to survive, you know. I mean, I guess to take a shower or whatever, but who needs that?

Who needs that? I got a couple of who live by that philosophy. Yup, alright so we're...

I'll wash my dishes with bottles of Fiji.

All righty. Mr. Five Times August, who are three living, I put famous people that you would want to have dinner with?

Brad (25:05.466)
I don't know. I don't like any famous people anymore. I used to like famous people. used to admire them. And then I ended up calling them all out throughout COVID. And then I was like, done with them also. Geez, who would I living famous people?

Ed, we're living in the fame.

Keith (25:24.558)
You don't have to fill out the entire dance card if you don't want to.

Yeah, well, you know, it I don't know previous just to pick their brain. If you had asked me prior to 2020, I would have probably have chosen somebody like Paul McCartney. Probably the cheese. don't know. I

the

Keith (25:48.821)
You I'm actually with

Probably a couple of musicians or something, some musicians that I used to admire and look up to just to pick their brain about the craft. you know, recording engineers still, you know, but like, who's left to really that that stood their ground? Eric Clapton, he spoke up a little bit during that time.

with it.

Keith (26:13.102)
I think he would have spoken up if he hadn't suffered from...

I don't know. See, that's the thing is like, you know, I do speak up a lot for the Vax injured, but there's a little conundrum there where if they hadn't, if nothing bad had happened to them, would they, you know, have spoken up at all or would they have turned into an enemy of mine, you know, at that time and called me an anti-voxer.

I don't was such a good ad campaign though. It was such a good ad campaign that I don't blame the people who got it for getting it. Okay. Oh, I mean they spent so much money trying to tell everybody it was so good. I it was a good it proves advertising works. I mean it was the biggest propaganda campaign of our lifetime. No doubt. Every every single avenue you could have possibly have imagined was covered and and

You know, it was everywhere. It's, it's hard to, you know, and the, and the positions that they coerce people through their jobs and threatening their livelihoods. I that helped, you know, I do offer grace to that. I know it's not like I'm like, you got the shot. You're, know, you're a fool because there was so much tremendous pressure. was the entire point. I would say, you know, by that, by the time that third shot rolled around, if you hadn't woken up, then maybe

maybe, you know, it's like, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times, what's going on? Four, five and six times. That's the that's the current state that I think we're in right now. As a collective humanity. It's like we're all, especially after yesterday and all the craziness that was going on online. It's like,

Keith (28:06.254)
How many boosters are we up to anyway?

At least 10. You're supposed to get one every year for the rest of your life.

But wait, I thought a vaccine prevented it from happening ever.

Well, what's funny is we now have a new Moderna mRNA shot coming out on the market and they had to reinvent it, which makes you go, why would you have to reinvent something that was so safe and effective the first time around?

Do you find it ironic that they named it Menex Spike?

Brad (28:42.598)
no, I don't. think all of those things are ways that they laugh in our face. was kind of like the first project that RFK Jr. as great as the project is to take a look at infant formula, he named it Operation Stork Speed. And I'm like, really? Out of all the names you could have picked for your first project out of the gate, you chose Operation Stork Speed?

you

I was offended by that, but.

know, hold on a second. I hadn't planned on getting into vaccines at this point. I was going to commend you later because

You got Brad from Five Times August on the show. No, no, no, no, no, no. into it within five minutes.

Keith (29:25.966)
like it. like it. And that's what I wanted to give you praise because not only were you a voice during COVID and boy, was a lonely time early on, but you have done a better job than anyone that I've been watching on Twitter as far as reminding us how quickly we forget. You have been reminding us of all of the absurdities in the insanities that we went through.

It's not ancient history, folks. It was just a few years ago. So I appreciate how you constantly are reminding people. But never forget. And then you just brought up RFK. And I just found this was a humorous clip. And I was like, oh, since I've got five times August on, I've got to definitely play this clip. I thought this was hysterical. Are you familiar with this clip from Elizabeth Warren talking about it? I It's coming, Brad. Have you seen this? Watch this. Profitable. In fact.

Forget

Brad (30:17.992)
coming yeah I haven't seen it

Keith (30:24.492)
He may have the opportunity to bankrupt. She's talking about RFK. He may have the opportunity to bank. In fact, he may have the opportunity to bankrupt the vaccine manufacturers and then nobody else. She says it like that's a bad thing.

I'm die. These companies with a long and well documented history of healthcare fraud who have been in unprecedented, paid out unprecedented healthcare fraud.

and that have been proven to be liars.

But good news, there's good news. I just found out it's safe to mix and match. The CDC and the FDA have reviewed everything. And if you want to get a booster that's from the same manufacturer as your initial one, you can do it. But you can also get one that's from somebody else if you want. Bob down the street could make one. You get one of Bob.

I just learned from a sitting US Senator that if the HHS director gets his way, then you can have bankrupt companies. Then who's going to make those, Brad?

Brad (31:33.078)
yeah. Down the street I. Got he can do it. If you'll remember they they told you not to mix and match way back when. That's you know follow the now you just well you know why it is because they have warehouses full of syringe needles that they have to get rid of the like just whatever whatever just please take the shots because they got we've got these.

Yeah

Keith (31:45.501)
Remember this stuff

Brad (32:00.226)
boxes back here. Please. basically what it says when scheduling your booster dose, you'll be able to see which vaccine you'll be getting. However, allowing people to mix and match will provide greater access to those who need a booster. So there you go. It doesn't matter anymore.

hang on a second when we were kids you remember you go to the soda fountain thing and then when you would mix and match all of those dreams what was it called again?

Suicide. Yep. Right. Leave yourself a suicide of vaccine shot. Get them all together.

you

And I have to make a reference here because history has been erased and therefore the Uncle Rema stories and Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear all that stuff. If you're from the South especially, you grew up with the story of Brer Rabbit not wanting to be thrown into the briar patch. don't throw me. So when Elizabeth Warren says,

Brad (32:52.024)
Please don't f-

Keith (32:55.97)
he might make the vaccine who's gonna make them then if the companies go bankrupt no please don't make them go bankrupt here's a great tweet from you five times august earlier this week there it is the fda recalls cucumbers in multiple states due to salmonella outbreak five times august says if cucumbers make 20 people sick

We must recall them immediately to protect the public. If COVID shots injure and kill countless individuals over the course of four plus years, we must be patient, keep them on the market, and sit around waiting for the studies. Brilliant and so true.

Yeah, thanks. Yeah, I've been posting a lot of recalls from the FDA because it's just absurdly hypocritical that they'll reek. They've got we've got this huge, huge warning about cucumbers right across the nation. The jokes right themselves.

I know! It's unrelenting, Okay, let's see here. wait, what are your famous people that you're gonna have dinner with there, Brad?

Me, would have dinner with Trump, Musk, and whoever has the inside scoop on 9-11.

Keith (34:09.78)
interesting. I thought you were going to need a referee or something. No,

Are you kidding? Those two, those, they're probably having dinner together right now. There's a good chance. man. Yesterday I had posted like, this could possibly be the biggest troll of all time. I'm like, if this is the biggest troll of all time, we've got some serious issues because this is no way to treat the American people.

I don't

Keith (34:37.464)
Yeah.

But they but if you know, you know, I that's why I put on Facebook. I posted something this afternoon and it said, guess I owe an apology. How did I word it? Guess I owe an apology to everyone who told me Elon Musk was only fiddling in the government to enhance his riches. Guess I you all an apology. How could I have been so blind? I feel like I let you down. I'm sorry. Guess you were right. And and it's amazing the responses I'm I'm getting to that. But

They said, Psy-op. They're not pissed at each other.

I don't think I they are pissed at each other. Because I don't know what the end game would be. Why would they do this?

This goes to show you.

Brad (35:18.606)
It's part of the plan, Key. A plan nobody knows about.

Is it 20 20 D chess is that what we're doing now?

Yeah, well, the thing that it illustrates is that either way that this is the way politics goes is your buddy buddy and then your best friends one day and then, you know, the next day you're not and you hate each other and it's all deal making. I was thinking like people forget that everybody that's in a position of power in DC is there not because of you, not because they're there to fight for you because they made deals to

get themselves there to better their career, to move up. It's all deal making. And then they're in a system of more deal making and everybody's doing their deals that have nothing to do with any of us. It's just to pursue their own agendas. And that's the system that play a whole bunch of deal making by deal makers.

And it's, let's put it this way, you're absolutely right. Politicians, Rush Limbaugh talked about this all the time. And in fact, when I was in fifth grade, my mom and I were having dinner in a restaurant in Washington, DC. And I just remember my mom being stunned. I don't know who the senators were. I think it might've been Ted Kennedy and a Republican. But I just remember that she was stunned that these two would be hanging out together. It's absolutely a show. I just don't...

Brad (36:39.544)
Who was it? Who are you don't remember who the

I don't remember, but I think it might have been Ted Kennedy or something and

It's like attorneys. Well, they are attorneys, but attorneys do the same thing. They stand up in front of each other in front of court and yell and then they go and have dinner.

don't feel that's what's happening here, we'll see. This thing is gonna play out and we're gonna find

You think it's real? You think it's

Keith (36:59.454)
I think they, yes, the way they were responding to in real time, wasn't like a, you tweet this and I'll tweet this. It was, yeah, well screw you. I'm gonna put this, I'm gonna react immediately to this with this.

it's a distraction. Although I will say

For what ends though? No one's given me that.

If there's a plan in place, I think it would have to be to push the Epstein list forward because why would he make those accusations such a huge accusation? It's multiple things. And let's say it was a call to action to make people go, well, now you have to put out, because now you're seeing the left go, let's see the Epstein list. Yeah, because now that Elon says orange man bad.

Then you get plus. Yeah, you can also, cause I think Trump wants the cuts in the budget too. I think that what, what he's doing now.

Keith (38:05.282)
What has ever led you to believe that he wants cuts on-

I think that this could be absolutely that deep. The two of them are really smart people.

Yeah, but the two of them also have big egos,

I understand that too, but they both like to win and they both proven that they can win and if they have sat if they figure this out step by step, which I think they probably have I think that with the number of people out here in the great unwashed that now think Elon says orange man bad if Elon says this has to happen this has to it's going to be all the people on the left going yeah

pushing exactly what Elon wants to happen, which I think is what Trump wants to happen, which I think is going to end up in cuts in the budget.

Keith (38:49.326)
have a question. In what timeline has the Republican Party ever shown that they're this smart?

No, no, no, it's not the Republican Party.

Okay, but anyone with an R after their name that has that

I have an R after my name and I don't like I'm not a Republican. I mean

I mean, I registered Republican, that's, I just haven't gone down and changed it to independent. I don't think it's that involved, honestly though. Like I think, cause it would just be another one of those things. That's the issue we're running into here is the layers of, this is just more part, it's going to lead to the, it's all presumption, assumption, and like thinking that there's a bigger plan in place, but it's just a bunch of.

Brad (39:38.83)
Mishmash happening and everybody's left going. Oh, yeah, I don't know where that went

Let me just say this, Brad. The one consistent thing about the GOP, and I realize that's not who's involved in this, by association, Donald Trump being a Republican president, the GOP is consistent in one thing, and that is screwing things up. if anything has been clear lately, it's the Democrat party in total chaos where their front runner for president

is A-O freaking C, you should just be able to sit back and by default continue your majorities in the House and the Senate. But you're going to take your biggest donor and have this public fight and risk this. I don't think so because what Elon did and Joe Rogan did and many others, influencers, brought in new people into the Republican ranks to vote for Donald Trump.

And you're going to risk that on some Kabuki

If at the end of the day it gets done what needs to be done.

Keith (40:50.932)
Okay, but I just don't know that Donald Trump is motivated to cut anything out of government, especially when he's the one in office with the levers of power. I've just never seen that.

You wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, Keith? Sorry. It's OK.

I'd have to be able to sleep in order to wake up. Okay, so if you're a wrestler or a baseball player, what would your walk up song be Brad Staggs?

No, I let Brad go first.

gonna first. gotta give me time to think. Me too. Yes.

Keith (41:28.564)
I guess five times August, you should just say, I don't know what are my songs.

I don't know one of my songs. All was easy. All entertainers are so self-serving. I'd walk out to what did Kennedy want? My Hero by by Foo Fighters.

That's ironic.

Me? No, I'm just kidding.

that's ironic i posted that song today on twitter that's funny okay

Brad (41:57.762)
No, I wouldn't really want

You should though, that's funny.

So then I'm gonna do the funny one and say, sad little man.

yeah, we were talking earlier before you joined us and that's probably my favorite song of yours. And a of people don't realize this, Mr. Five Times August. When you make these parodies, not parody songs, but these songs that speak to the times. Biting criticism. You know what it is? It is a editorial cartoon with a great soundtrack behind it. Ooh, you can steal that. So, but you're also spending,

Ha

Keith (42:37.42)
That didn't feel genuine. That didn't feel genuine at all. No, but you made the videos too. And I know that was a painstaking effort for you to do all these animations and stuff like that. Hold on. Did you have this down here, Brad? Hang on. I don't see it anymore.

what or where don't say it like that because it's weird when you because you said to send it to you and you'd have it ready but that's all right i did but yes you did

bad little man

Keith (43:02.254)
Are we going to get a copyright ding on YouTube for playing your music, Mr. Five Times August?

No, I'll leave you alone when I log in next time.

That's awesome. just play, play, play a little bit of this if people aren't familiar. This is so good, Stand that guy up.

Brad (43:29.966)
Still walking

RIP

Do what he says not what he do cuz the truth is for him and the lie is for you Sad little man, but he's treated like a god as the faithless pray to a fake and a fraud Worship the man pledge to his word one shot to shot now you get a third

You don't fool me, you sad little man

Man, that is-

Brad (44:10.658)
Sam thing sticks in your head too.

And I'm angry now, actually.

I dropped it over on Facebook a little while ago just to, it's fun. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's funny looking back on that now, cause like I did that before RFK's book came out about Fauci, which if you, if you read that book, like it's kind of like, gosh, it should have been a lot harder on him.

You know, I could have leaned into it a little bit more but that song did get me into a lot of trouble anyway once it came out because that was at the height of like Fauci's You know being propped up as it as a god as I'm saying the song and how much shit did you get for that? I mean did people come after you and Mike my my Wikipedia page got taken down shortly after that video itself got

It was removed from search from the whole YouTube search. You couldn't find it. I couldn't find it myself Wow, and I Mean I had all kinds of you know all that censorship that I had heard about kind of It was starting to happen to me where I was like, it's all real I'd log into Facebook and I couldn't share my own stuff anymore all of a sudden and you know You just felt like there was an eye on you that wasn't there before there's somebody watching you and

Brad (45:38.22)
Yeah. And I wonder, he probably saw it and got pissed off because his ego. To know if he actually ever saw that video. It did get passed around quite a bit. I mean, I would love to have seen his reaction to it. You know, he would be pissed seeing that because he, even though he puts on that little, that, that, gee shucks upfront, you know, the door shuts, man. If you're on his bad side, stands on a box in front of you and.

I would

Keith (46:04.554)
Do either of you think that

Do you, either of you think that he will ever face any consequences whatsoever? No.

No, see that's see that's why I'm pissed because I wrote that song and the whole song was like, you know, it's coming for you. And now we're we're five years removed from the beginning of all that. And he's still walking free. And even if he was charged with something at this point, the guy's like 84. So by the time I know he ends up in court and would end up in jail, if he did end up in jail, he wouldn't be there but a day or two before he

or something and he's already lived his life. I've made this point many times, like he's already lived his life, the damage is done, he's made his fortune and he gets to walk free because nobody did anything about it.

and you

Brad (47:01.954)
I just put the link in the chat over on the...

But when we were paying him more than anybody, mean, paid a highest paid employee on our payrolls in the government was Fauci. And yeah, the golden parachute that he got unreal.

I WERE!

Keith (47:22.124)
And the reason he was paid so much is because of the importance of all of the work on the bio weapons.

He was willing to do the wet work.

Brad (47:32.596)
and all the aid stuff. mean that's the thing, you're going back decades.

god.

Keith (47:38.35)
You gotta go read that book, the RFK book, the real Anthony Fauci. Holy crap, it is an eye opener, not only for Anthony Fauci, but for all of the sins of Bill Gates as well. Okay.

He just makes computers. Stop it. wears sweaters. He's got to be nice. Yeah.

in

I hear he likes islands too. Okay, so if you wrote a book. no, I don't want to know what's going on off camera. Let's see, if you wrote a book, Mr. Five Times August, what genre would it be?

Hold on, I'm on an island

Brad (48:12.614)
I don't know, fiction, some kind of fiction, imaginative fiction thing. A little broad, okay. Well, in the sense of like, I don't know, I mean, I consider myself a storyteller when I make that video, you know, I've got to tell a story. That's where I want to go with things and where I probably will be going in the next year or so is broadening the scope of

That kind of presentation and creating an animated a bigger, you know, like a short film or something with more music inside of it And you did all the graphics and you did all that worse that that is I know how much work that is and that

Yeah!

How long did a typical video like this take you,

It would depend on what I was doing. That one, I mean, probably took a couple of weeks at minimum, two or three weeks. But when you know, actually I was talking to my wife about this the other day, when you know how much work goes into animating something, would actually, you know, basically my process at that time was I would write a song, record it, like write the song, probably record it inside of a week, and then

Brad (49:28.386)
hunch over the computer for however long it took to make a video shortly after that. So it's very like, go, go, go at that time where I would just write it, record it, video, put it out. And yeah, I hunch over the computer and start it and then, you know, just work on it obsessively until it was done.

Had you done anything with animation or anything like that before you started making the videos for these songs?

Yeah, so what's funny about it is I had a kids music project prior to all the COVID era music and that was called the Juice Box Jukebox, which was a family music project that I was doing at home. And I was making these really nice songs that needed animated video. So I taught myself how to do all this kind of stuff throughout that.

more much more innocent, nice project, which was funny because it gave me the skill set to come in and make these darker sort of videos. I went from these bright songs about being thankful and kindness into sad little man and gates behind the bars and stuff. So it was a little bit of a bipolar experience in that regard to go from. But yeah, there you go. So I'd like to actually come around and reconnect with this project, too, because it's

It was a lot of fun. I started doing this music because I was tired of what was out there for my own kids on YouTube. There's a lot of garbage and I get it. Shapes. Got it. Yeah, I got it. got it. Yeah, I'm quick. There you go.

Brad (51:16.192)
Let me but but before we move on that I mean it takes so much focus to do Videos like this. I mean to sit down and and are any of those Practical element did you like take cutouts of Fauci and photograph or is it all was it all done digitally?

so it was all digital, you know, you like scour Google, pull an image, cut it out, make it look like it was all, you know, if I had done that, you know, in a South park fashion, like those early episodes of South park where it was actually deeper. mean, that would have, that would have taken forever. So thankfully we have the technology and you can sort of create a mimic a style in that way. But, what software did you use premiere or after effects or.

No, so I only had at that time when I started making those videos, I just I would make the images in Photoshop and take them over to final cut, isn't like it. And basically frame by frame, which is kind of is a little unorthodox of an approach to create it is kind of a blend between modern technology and the traditional way of doing things. So that's kind of going frame by frame. Really.

Creating and getting into it like I have my face would be up, you know to the computer screen putting little details in them that I knew people would want to go back and watch and You know, it was very timed with the rhythm if you watch you'll see the motion everything is is time with something else and so yep a lot of it so I appreciate the acknowledgement

Absolutely, man. Okay, Brad, assuming you knew how to read and write, what genre would the book that you wrote, what would that be?

Brad (53:09.346)
Yeah, you got me erotica. Clearly, clearly. What do you even ask? I mean, look at me. He started the show, sniffing his nose. He's on an island. I don't know what sort of thing is. I don't know what sort of thing, Rondo, what insinuations, but I have expensive lawyers, so be careful.

Yeah.

Keith (53:29.018)
I don't know where Lep's Zoom room is, but thank you for sharing the show there. What's in the Zoom room? Okay. Brad Staggs, what is the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

Careful, wash your hands after.

Brad (53:46.764)
Never meet your heroes.

Well, I believe that's... But you've met me before,

Never meet your hero.

Five times August. What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? Don't take the vaccine.

Take the shot. That's it, right there. Thank you for answering for me. That's perfect. Saved my life.

Keith (54:09.454)
Okay, let's see here. Which would you want to rid the world of if you could? You get four choices. Okay, Mr. Five Times August, would you get rid of spiders? Would you get rid of wasps slash hornets? Would you get rid of fire ants? Yeah, you live in Texas, so you know them well. Or would you get rid of mosquitoes? So spiders, wasps, fire ants, or mosquitoes?

Go with mosquitoes, I think. I mean, I don't like any of those, but I'm gonna go with mosquitoes because I feel like there's a lot more disease involved in mosquitoes. Like ants, they'll bite you, right? And you're like, ants, that sucks, get them off. The hornet, it flies by, it stings you once, unless you're around a nest or something, then you're gonna die.

But I feel like there's mosquitoes carrying something and there's a bunch and like they're kind of like as obnoxious as flies but a lot more.

You're gonna die just moving

Yeah, okay.

Keith (55:18.834)
yeah, flies. should have put that on there. Hey, tip, if you live where there are fire ants, which is anywhere in the South, I've talked about before. I haven't seen a map in years, but they've been up to Kansas and southern New Jersey now. So they are advancing northward. They started in New Orleans in 1900. They arrived on a banana boat from Brazil, I believe.

is how they ended up making it to North America. then, and not to get too deep, but it's too late, they looked at colonies and compared them to the ones in... They think that... They don't think that it is actually the same now. There's a school of thought. Anyway, it's way too much fire ant talk. But here's my pro tip. Keep limes on hand during the summer because nothing... I've personally experienced this. When you get bitten by a fire ant, go to that lime and just rub it on there.

and that provides more relief than anything I've ever tried. Brad, what are you getting rid of? Spiders, wasps, fire ants, or mosquitoes?

hang on a second because here this is why so while you guys are doing that I was thinking all right it'd be great to get rid of mosquitoes yeah but what happens when you get rid of mosquitoes it's like would you go back and kill baby Hitler and so because of the amazingness of this interweb box you can now ask the are you about to do that

Yeah. huh, huh.

Keith (56:42.697)
Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Because if you got rid of all the mosquitoes in the world, it would have this cascading ecological effect. They play roles in food webs, ecosystems, blah, blah, blah. You would affect the fish, species, birds, bats, amphibians, other insects.

Your article is much more in-depth than mine. Mine says that scientists are actually very close to being able to exterminating mosquitoes. And it goes through this whole thing about gene mutation and how the male mosquito and offspring. Anyway.

Biodiversity loss, species and pests.

Yours is much more involved than mine.

Brad (57:19.97)
Brad, you just killed off the entire planet. How do you feel? I think all the mosquitoes we have are government mosquitoes right now anyway. Real.

Well, you son

Keith (57:28.332)
That's the other thing. That's the other thing. Bill Gates and the government. mean, who's going to get there first?

The idea of a mosquito is out there, but it's a government created mosquito that is designed to make us

just it. Are they gonna e first or are we gonna hav modified mosquitoes curati

Brad (57:55.438)
Let's see on the bright side if you eliminate mosquitoes it would drastically reduce diseases like malaria the dengue fever and Zika it would save millions of lives and billions in health care costs annually Congratulations, you just destroyed and you brought back the world to life. It could improve human productivity Go through those rough patches to come out on other side. I change

I that's, think the philosopher Steve Miller said it best. Sometimes you gotta go through hell before you get to heaven. And there we are.

But with that said, wasps are dicks and I would get rid of all of them.

Okay, I have a question. The other night I was watching the old hockey game, Go Oilers, and I noticed I needed something sweet, you know? I needed a dessert or something. And so I noticed, ironically enough, there were a couple of cupcakes in a box sitting on the kitchen counter. it had my daughter's name, my youngest daughter's name was on the box. And I texted Zeely and I said, hey, what's the story on these cupcakes? Can I have one?

And so I waited for a response. I didn't get one. So my question, gentlemen, is what is a reasonable amount of time that I should wait before I ate those? Or should I not have eaten them at all? Help me. Anyway, I ate one of them. Well, that's what I'm asking. How long should I have waited?

Brad (59:13.806)
Yeah.

How long did you wait?

Brad (59:21.63)
How long do you normally get a response back from your daughter? How long does it normally take? A few minutes. minutes? Well, if you didn't hear back in a few minutes, it's your house.

Yeah, yeah. but believe me, the conversation actually ended when her response was, when I told her I had already eaten them, or eaten the one, her response was bruh, B-R-U-H, into which I replied, you're welcome for life, since you wouldn't exist without me. And so my point was, waited, timestamps say that I waited exactly three minutes for a response. didn't get one, so I consumed one of the cups.

It's been three minutes.

And apparently her and her mom were planning on eating them when they got home, they had to split them. well.

yeah. Well you know what?

Brad (01:00:13.094)
certain factors come into play because you know depending who it is right that's family that's your daughter how many cupcakes have you given your daughter throughout her life? you.

I'm gonna tell you the truth. She's actually provided many, many, many more. She's a little chef. Many more cupcakes to me than I've ever provided.

But you gave her the opportunity to make

That's right. do you think paid for the cupcake?

You know, you asserted your toxic masculinity and that's the only thing that matters.

Keith (01:00:47.412)
Brad stags, you tweeted out something. That I just I don't know what it is about this. I loved this. had a trivia question. You were giving away some prizes with the David Mojo and.

That wasn't me, I was hacked.

Brad (01:01:06.614)
No, you won my undying respect if you did that right.

Oh, well, I knew I knew exactly what that is. I did you absolutely bro. Of course I did. This was this was the original dopamine hit for getting on the internet. That's what this was.

Okay, all right.

Brad (01:01:32.29)
I miss those sounds.

Keith (01:01:38.104)
Listen to that!

Imagine having to wait for the World Wide Web. And when you download in those days, when you download anything, a document, a picture, it would go, yeah. see, I think that one, the appropriate amount of internet speed for humanity. That's that was just enough.

Brad (01:02:08.046)
We have stopped there, but now we have 5G and cancer in the air. 6G, 7G, and we can't get off our phones. And it was just enough. know, it's like,

That's too fast!

Keith (01:02:19.5)
It's annoying enough, yes.

You had a station at the house to sit and connect to the World Wide Web, like a phone attached to the wall. Now it's everywhere all the time. And then there's a screen on your refrigerator that's connected to Bluetooth and the internet and this and that. And it's everywhere all the time. It's too much.

and somebody in the house picks up the phone and then you have to start it all over again after they get off the phone. Then you got to go through it again.

the. And then say, and so I'm to pick up the phone. So the back. I was gonna say I was late 90s when information was doubling what every 12 months. Yeah. And then because I remember I was just looking this up the other day that now information is doubling.

Down to the late 90s right here.

Brad (01:03:20.398)
We got to a point was doubling every 12 hours and we're to the point where we're actually going to run out of space to save all the information that is that is happening now and they've started using this is really freaky instead of like thumb drives and hard disks. They're using DNA as a storage device. By and they keep it in a in a vial.

DNA sounds on track honestly with the way the world's in that weird. Yeah, DNA creepy that is and so we should have stuck you're right back to the Yeah, but I everything down

I find the...

I talk about, complain about this every week, but the way the chat comments load on my screen over here, I can't, I see on the screen the comment, Kara 3022, but I can't find it over here to put on the screen. And the AOL voice, welcome, you've got mayor.

Brad (01:04:27.662)
When we had Clippy, was that that was a little paperclip thingy that sat up in the corner or word.

Yeah, well that guy was annoying. was just... I mean, I... I'm talking about unsolicited advice. Dink, dink, dink!

He was.

Brad (01:04:40.844)
Yeah, that's right

You know, you really should put an apostrophe here.

He would knock on the screen.

Screw off,

And do you remember the big internet phase or fad or whatever it was where on websites you could videotape yourself doing it or whatever, but a little person would walk onto the screen and go, hey, thanks for coming to the website, blah, blah, blah. And I really, do you remember that? It was like, for whatever reason, it never really fully caught on, but it was like the coolest idea that never quite.

Keith (01:05:10.476)
I don't.

Keith (01:05:18.638)
If you post something like that, direct me to it. I'd like to know what you're talking about.

I am so high right now it doesn't even matter. that's cool. see if I can find that.

Brad (01:05:35.028)
don't do drugs in school.

Brad (01:05:39.982)
of private school.

Brad (01:05:58.093)
I hear it.

Can't hear her. sorry. Okay, well, let me fix that. There we go.

I can't.

Yes, a little soft.

My sixth grader got caught with his phone this afternoon. They brought it to the office, told him I had to come pick it up after school. So I did that. And then they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay $15 to get this back via cash app. What? imagine how much money they're making.

Keith (01:06:28.672)
Yeah, okay. Anyway, so what do you guys think?

Yeah, it's Be this dumb. See, I go past the dumb thing as to that's theft. Yeah, that's a good answer. It says, uh-uh, that's my give it to me and now like now I don't even I shouldn't ask you. Yeah.

and

Keith (01:06:50.776)
like that's extortion. Yeah.

It's an advertisement for home school is what it is. But we have had an issue actually with our school where my wife went to pick up my son one day and it was close to the end of the day. About three o'clock is like, it's supposed to be the cutoff for, you know, they get out at three 30 or whatever. So you can only pick up your kid up until about three o'clock. My wife gets there because my son has an appointment.

Brad (01:07:27.34)
so that's where-

Brad (01:07:33.01)
But no, like that, that we didn't really realize that was the situation. So my wife goes up there to get, get our, our son and the lady at the desk is like, Oh, I'm sorry. You, you're past the cutoff. And she's like, give me my son. it became a very uncomfortable moment of like, no, you don't.

get to keep my son here just because it's past three o'clock.

the way.

Until school lets out. No, until school lets out.

Okay, I it was the end of the day, I'm sorry.

Brad (01:08:09.6)
Yeah, well, no, that's the idea is like three somewhere somewhere between three and three thirty. You're not supposed to be able to pick up your kid because that's when cars line up. You know, it's supposed it apparently interferes with the pickup time window of getting the school, but it shouldn't matter. Like that's your child. If I want my child at three twenty five, you give me my child because you do not own my child. All right. So

I gotcha,

Keith (01:08:39.086)
Next time you go pick up your son between 3 3.30, just have queued up on your phone that scene with Mel Gibson screaming into the phone, give me back my phone. So did they eventually let your wife take your

BUNNED!

Brad (01:08:54.51)
Oh yeah, yeah, it started to become a scene and it was like, your kid. There's nothing we can really do about it. That would be one of those things where I did, cause you get into that situation and you feel the anger, like rising slowly and you, okay. It's like, feel like you're turning into the Hulk. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't let that happen because, and then you, your voice starts to getting louder and then you realize.

Okay, here we go.

The next thing you know, you're Mel Gibson.

then you're the crazy one in handcuffs and then yeah, and then get taken away from you because they wouldn't give you your child and right. Yeah, tipped over to the pencil cup at the front desk or something. Yeah, exactly.

okay.

Brad (01:09:43.85)
no, not these guys.

that

Other than that, it's actually very smooth.

Yeah, here's the deal. This would have been cool 30 years ago. Maybe 40 years ago, it would have been like, oh, cool. That's what the future's like. But because we've experienced what we've experienced over the last five to 10 to 15 years, we, you know, now we're all walking around with phones and we know we're being monitored. And, and I see this and I'm like, what a pander to get people

to go, yeah, that looks fun. I want that in my life. I'm like, you realize, like we all know, we've all seen Terminator, we know how this ends. The moment it decides it wants to come after you, it does not tire. You tire, you slow down. The day that comes, it's over and they're gonna welcome it in because it'll fold your shirt.

Brad (01:11:16.514)
do your laundry at home.

Yep, that's right. That's right. That is exactly what's going to happen. And then the only way to defeat it is just to drop an EMP over it. And then you take out everything. hang on. Let me I'm not even on the screen here. Hang on a second. Where are you? Where are I? Gotcha. I have to I have to stop that one and then I can put this one up here. OK. Don't like. I like it.

video right there, Keith.

Brad (01:11:35.074)
right there.

Brad (01:11:45.474)
Don't like it. Come on, those are cool.

Yeah, just slap some AI knowledge inside that thing.

Done. Now the idea is cool. I give it that the technology is unbelievable.

Many people are gonna want that.

Look, this is far past dial-up modem, and we cannot handle this.

Keith (01:12:08.044)
I agree a Old like he said, he just told us that.

But look at that they can fold

I know people are like, I don't want to fold my laundry. But look how slow he is. I mean, you could, I could fold a shirt 10 times that fast. I mean, if I didn't have a woman to do it, um, but, uh, you know, fortunately all the, all the women we train around here are highly skilled at folding and, cause otherwise we send them back to remedial training.

What a slow

Keith (01:12:27.566)
That's right.

Keith (01:12:39.788)
Well, they do a terrible job with the cutting up of your stuff, though I heard.

They they well they can Here's the other layer to that is You know, we've been we've just gone through Trans rights and all these other things These robots are going to become partners to people and then we're going to be seeing robot humanoid rights AI rights because people are gonna have an emotional attachment. Yeah, so

when their battery, let's take this for example, when their battery starts dying or that needs to be replaced or they're just no longer, maybe they become obsolete, the new model comes in and people start going, well, you know, we can't just get rid of them. What are we supposed to do? He helped me fold my shirts at home and I also have sex with it. what am I supposed

I was about to go, it reads me bedtime stories. But no, you went to the next level.

that's where it's gonna go. We know those people are out there. think we have established Brad Staggs as one of them today.

Keith (01:13:47.118)
100%. 100%. So hang on a second though, because the way they tried to sell, they tried to sell 25 years ago, microchipping, we're only going to put it in, first of all, your pets. And then, you know what, we're going to put it in a section.

But with that you can just go to 7-Eleven and boop you paid for it. It's so easy.

But we need to track sex offenders so you know we can be alerted when they move into your neighborhood and you know we might as well just put them in your kids too in case they get kidnapped and and then if you start putting them in kids then that just is a that generation will become adults and by then it just becomes the norm but you're absolutely right they're gonna become so attached to this and and they're gonna have rights right and and then stuff like this which hearty har har that's so funny

It's actually, it's not funny because this right here, people are gonna have an emotional attachment and go, you can't put them in an arena like that. That's rude. Look at that, you're objectifying.

Did you get away from maybe the dial-up internet that you have there and get something that actually streams?

Keith (01:14:49.806)
I think what happened was your modem, I'm actually using the internet that's based off of your 256 bod.

Here, don't you you threaten me with a good time? This this video is real.

You don't think so? I think what happened there at the end, I think they just sped it up right here. I think that's what you're seeing. I think that is just sped up,

It will be, but I-

Brad (01:15:18.252)
Maybe I don't just- The video looks weird, but it will be real if it's not. It's certainly- Watch, watch this one.

Hang on. Yeah. You're gonna find out if your robot wife has rights. You're gonna find out. What am I looking for here, Brad? The guy with the microphone?

Yes.

Brad (01:15:38.968)
Log in.

Brad (01:15:43.566)
I have a joke about cloud storage, but it's over your head.

yeah, okay. I know, I've seen this.

This is a new one. This just dropped five hours ago to pass my economics class Well, are you trying? Yes. The professor says I'm the most trying student he's ever had. Sure. I'm a full stack developer

I'm fully stacked with anxiety.

I'm giving away these dead batteries, free of charge. None of this is real. None of this is real. Yeah.

Keith (01:16:12.366)
None of it's real.

Keith (01:16:16.312)
I need help remembering my girlfriend's birthday.

easy. Just forget it once and she'll never let you forget it again. The shampoo bottle says lather, rinse and repeat. I have been in this shower for two and a half hours now.

The internet is tracking my cookies? Yeah. You'll never get my recipe internet.

None of that. That's the part that freaks me out. Is that because once you put that kind of thing into a robot's brain.

Mm-hmm.

Brad (01:16:48.258)
Cause that was all, those are all just people. That's where it to get freaky.

I don't like it.

Keith (01:16:55.339)
And it's and it's gonna be really quick too. It's gonna be

It's done.

Well, allow me to finish is what I'm saying is what you're showing there as real as it looks. Just imagine what it looked like a year ago. And now imagine what it's going to look like a year from now. It's in a year. We're not even going to be able to pick up on any of this stuff. I mean, it's going to be.

You can't tell that. mean, that looks like a

Yeah. No, you're right. mean, it's.

Brad (01:17:26.732)
Yeah, it's getting better and better. There's there's to me, there's still a certain soullessness to it. It's like a lot of the people in the videos are too perfect looking. But but it's gonna get better. I mean, I've seen some stuff already where I'm like, this is so such a slope, slippery slope that we're riding on right now. All of these layers, this combined with the humanoid robots.

humanoid robots plus AI plus the, the development of the, of the, did you see that, that video of the, in China, they developed a little brain and they out of, yeah, it's a computer put it in the robot and then it was learning and yes. then they've got living in cell generation. Like we're really going to have like real Terminator human looking robots walking around.

Like that's another insane thing I can't even imagine. I've had this conversation with friends, but like our kids are gonna grow up and first date questions are gonna be like, how much humanoid robot are you? How much, know, like, are you a robot? It's not gonna be-

gonna be like if you and I pass on the street and we chat for five minutes and then we go on our way if it's an if it's one of these humanoid robots and we can't tell it's recording every interaction it's logging all of these interactions with humans and and it's gonna work our entire lives are going to exist on a server somewhere every minute don't say Brad Brad I know you're gonna say

Brad (01:19:13.482)
Brad, do you watch black mirror? I've seen it. You've seen all of them. like, not all of them, but I've seen watch.

Keith (01:19:20.322)
This is the time where the ubiquitous moment where he.

Keith, you've not seen any of them, have you? And I don't understand why.

I need to.

I'm doing this right now. I don't have time.

Okay. All right. But San Jacinto, do you remember that one, Brad, where the, when you die, you can upload your consciousness to the cloud. so you can live forever in this, is it called virtual world?

Keith (01:19:49.538)
that's the that's the subtitle of this show we always end up at black mirror

We are there. Is it a good idea? Probably not.

Wait, is this worth watching? Battlestar Galactica remake from 2005? Because I haven't seen that either.

never a Battlestar guy. On the plus side, we live through the extermination, humanoids and AI, that empire ultimately crumbles because eventually they turn on themselves. So if you can hide in a corner while they fight and destroy themselves, you come out on the other side.

Roof.

Brad (01:20:42.316)
And to circle back to your original question of the show, no more electricity, because it's all blown up, but you do have bottles of water that you can survive on.

You can. Okay, that's good. All right.

And maybe, maybe that's what's already happened on earth. Wouldn't that be ironic?

deep dive, brother!

Maybe that's already happened several times. how many times, right? Yeah.

Keith (01:21:10.828)
Well, we're talking about humanoid robots and AI and all this good stuff. I had an article here from Men's Journal that talks about how toilet paper could be irrelevant soon. And I thought this was going to be a fascinating read. And unfortunately, I read it. And all it says is

Hear it?

here are the men's journals options. is this is this is why this is why you're close. This is why toilet paper could be a thing of the past. Obviously bidets is in the articles, right? And then the other one is a reusable cloth toilet paper. Now, and it goes through the diaper, it goes through the pros and cons. But see, no, that's bad for the earth. According to men, you can't be doing that. Because then you're gonna throw that into a landfill.

No cloth diaper.

diaper. Okay, okay, gotcha. But this one's, this is just unbelievable. I can't believe that they're writing articles on this. And it just says reusable cloth toilet paper. I mean, there are some cons like, you know, it could stain and your guests won't want to use that. I mean, it's just, what are we? So I'm saying the article says if you don't want to use a bidet,

Brad (01:22:24.588)
doing why not every day

Keith (01:22:30.626)
Can I interest you in a reusable? Because you guys still love to come over and wipe their ass with something that you've already wiped your ass with. But we just went from a society that is this close to having humanoid robots run the world to, you know what, this toilet paper thing. That's too crazy. That's too far out there. OK, so I

Wait a second, hold on, Jonathan says you know Brad will marry a robot just to find out his robot wife has rights to sleep with him and he can't outlive it.

Oh cannot live it I missed that earlier yeah I don't know why the font does that when when people That is weird 0026 it's not the first time

Oh, because that's an ampersand. Oh, it doesn't know how to do ampersand. Oh,

Brad (01:23:27.64)
wearing them now.

Brad (01:23:31.84)
Brad (01:23:38.382)
It's America.

Yeah, it's America. Well, not in Idaho anymore, where it's my understanding that they just had an emergency session so that they could vote to eliminate the truck nuts. You can't do that anymore. Idaho. Isn't that sad?

at least

This is a story from the 90s, isn't it? I remember when I was in middle school and my stepbrother went to the University of South Carolina and Cobb County, Georgia was going through this whole obscene thing, stuff like that, but it was bumper stickers is what the problem was. he got taken, a cop pulled him over, he went to court, he fought it. And my boxer shorts, my University of South Carolina boxer shorts became exhibit A.

I I feel.

Keith (01:24:27.086)
I forgot to tell you the bumper sticker said I'm sorry for the kids in the audience the bumper stick Brad can you look up the University of South Carolina logo the South Carolina game cocks and so his bumper sticker said can't lick our cocks because there's a sports reference you know and so my boxer shorts ended up getting he got off from they didn't have to pay the ticket pay the fine and

Shouldn't be on the internet anyway.

Keith (01:24:56.65)
but I mean just like come on this is yeah we're going after truck nuts in Idaho so I don't know there we go yeah but an emergency session let's see here if if we can find

Worth our time.

Brad (01:25:11.854)
like the idea that there were so many trucks with these nuts on them that they just had to do something about it. They're everywhere. That was it. Yeah, that's the problem. It's like, wow. I know.

When's the last time you saw one? That's a great point! I don't even know when that was!

Right, like maybe see one every, I don't know, two or 3000 cars. I don't know what the statistics on that is, but it's not like I pull into the Walmart parking lot and there they are all the time and I'm just sick of it. We've got to do something. Every truck all the time has nuts. I found it. What if they don't identify as a male? Right. Yes. Well, my truck identifies as a male with big nuts.

Hahaha!

Keith (01:25:50.124)
Let's co-

Brad (01:25:56.905)
I don't get it. Why would you want to lick a chicken anyway?

Right! That's another good point.

It seems like you get feathers all over your tongue.

So, so is it safe to say that the majority of trucks are actually female trucks? I mean, that was stupid. laugh.

They have to go through the transition. See, you buy the truck, then you have to install the ball.

Keith (01:26:19.31)
okay. Install the balls. So about a week ago, we had a, you know what, there's a lot of that happening mostly in blue states. Okay. So let's play a quick game because about a week ago, we can't, okay. I've already moved on not doing it. Okay. So we had the spelling bee, right? About a week ago.

love the balls.

Brad (01:26:29.388)
I can stall the balls.

Brad (01:26:37.57)
You can't blue our cock.

Yeah, you went fast enough.

Keith (01:26:48.658)
And I thought that, and I have not watched this video. I just see at the bottom, it says 20 hard words. We can listen to three of them. Let's just do three of them. And let's, so I'm need you to get a pen and a paper. I forgot to tell you. So get your pen and paper ready. And then it says, listen to audio carefully. I gotta turn the audio up. Each word will be read thrice, say three times a whole.

Then we spell the word. Look at that. They misspelled answer. Check the answa.

Christ!

Brad (01:27:25.206)
Wait a minute!

You see this? Check the Antswath.

I'm not sure I'm to well. I don't know. They already lost their credibility.

Let's do three words. Let's see what we get here. All right. And you play it home. You play along. Nobody's done this thing here. Okay. No music, please. Thank you. How are we going to hear the word, Dummy? Okay. I don't.

I have a-

Brad (01:27:47.67)
I have to it's just it's that music is part of the video

That's weird. Hang on. When? Okay.

You're going to have to. Wait, what? Did we just say pathetic? I don't know. Apathetic. That's easy. Isn't it? I mean.

pathetic

Apathetic. I'm gonna- is it? Okay. Hang on. I don't know.

Keith (01:28:09.694)
It says hard words.

All right, so everybody write down your deal here.

Now I'm scared. Apathetic. Apathetic. Apathetic.

huh, you should be.

I thought wait hold up your deals there. Yeah, I got it. Did you get it? Did I get it?

Keith (01:28:34.572)
got it. Let's see here. on. What the hell? don't sound effects. What the hell? Okay. What did he say? I just keep screwing it up with the volume.

You picked a winner. Yes.

There we go. Perfidious. Perfidious. Perfidious.

I don't even know what that word means,

it's going to be tough at the end. So it could be.

Keith (01:29:06.254)
Alright, ready?

to

the

Keith (01:29:24.809)
Hold it up a little bit.

I think you're right. think the I think it doesn't have an O.

I said, profiteers. But I think you're right.

you're a fitty. no, no, I did bad. I did real bad.

I got it. Look at me, huh? What do I win? Sorry.

Keith (01:29:59.79)
What is this? my gosh, stop with the boinging.

Ruddy. Ruddy? Ruddy. that's easy. Yeah, that's a-

Huh? Yeah.

You never heard that before? He has a ready complexion. Don't overthink this one. advice.

I don't think so,

Keith (01:30:20.47)
Okay.

I'm just here. That's what I did right here. I'll cut and review what we got here.

Yeah, that's what I did.

Keith (01:30:35.244)
Right, see it, feel it. A hole, okay. All right, okay. So there we go. Baby has ruddy cheeks, okay.

should think about trademarking this game and like we could take it on the road. It'd be great.

Well, you know what we have 20 words here. I'll just pause it there next time. We'll cue it up We'll try Rebecca next week with words four five and six and see what happens, huh? I Didn't want to go

Was all we're just we're just getting we're just getting warmed up

20 words come on now. So, that reminded me though trying to spell I forget which one When I was in fifth grade I won my school spelling bee I've told this story before I

Brad (01:31:16.5)
Two, no, no, no, I came in second. You won.

I won my school spelling bee fifth grade, so I had to go to the county. And so at the county, was, uh, or maybe I was in fourth grade. It was fourth, fifth and sixth grade. don't even know. Maybe it was, maybe it was, it wasn't math. That's for damn sure. Um, but I got up there and you know, the school's so proud of me and Hey, look, there's Keith and all that stuff. My mom's in the audience and stuff. So, um, yeah. And I get up there and it's my first word is oxen. Oxen. I'd never heard that word in my life.

sixth.

Keith (01:31:49.794)
I've heard of ox.

Never heard of that when you're taking drugs, you're oxygen?

Well, you would have thought I was taking drugs. You would have thought that I was taking drugs based on how I spelled oxen. Very confidently. O C C S A I N. Oxen. Yes! I got an- wait a bu- wait. I had to go back to school quickly. Like it started like 9 a.m. I didn't miss anything. Like half of a period, man. It was bullcrap.

How did you spell it?

Brad (01:32:22.99)
Go ahead, Fran. no, I was just going to say I was robbed by Sonia Addis Stone in fifth grade at the spelling bee because my word was Bible and I spelled it. How would you spell it?

B-I-B-L-E? That's the book for me!

Brad? Well, yeah, the I B L E. And. B Y did you go with the I B L E.

Did you go, God is not happy with you? You were set up, man.

First of all,

Brad (01:33:00.418)
Yeah, because Bible, unless it's the Bible, Bible is B.I.B.L.E. The Bible is capital. Right. I am still not over that. You shouldn't know. No, I was robbed. You were. Yeah, I was robbed. my. That's not right. No, it's not. And Sonia, if you're listening. I'm just saying, yeah, I know how you.

You know what?

I you can see that every day she walks to her mantle and polish is the truth. I know every day I wake up and I think of that trophy.

You should don't let that go. You should let that. So.

No, I'm not, haven't. 1975.

Keith (01:33:47.682)
I can't remember if it was, when I was going to school in Georgia, we had to, in this one class, fill in the counties. There's 159 counties, I was looking it up. And I feel like we only had, there was like 20 random counties on the list and you had to find them. So was something like that. And I got them all right. I got 20 for 20 or whatever it was. And I got my paper back and it was like a 95. And I said, because she had marked off one of them.

and I said, what the hell? And I look into the map and stuff. No, it's like that's Bibb County or whatever the hell it was. And I went up there and this, teacher, I, what a bitch. She said, um, you just changed that. You just, you just changed that. So, and I said, she accused me of cheating and, that this kid's, this is why I use a pen, never use a pencil because then they can't accuse you of cheating. And she would not give me that, bro. I was so

You kids are cheating?

Keith (01:34:43.378)
angry. still obviously it's affected me to the point where I'm bringing it up 30 years later. Damn it. got 100 on the Georgia counties test. Now, now this next thing real quick, real quick. This is my fault, but I just want to show you kids that the cascading effect in life. I did a report in college, university of Nebraska, and I left a note card, a three by five note card I left on my kitchen table. So when I gave the report,

I was supposed to have that as a reference point. And I thought, all right, whatever, no big deal. I know my presentation. So when I turned it in, the teacher, she said, well, where's your three by five note card? I was like, yeah, I didn't use it. I actually forgot it at home. And she goes, no, you have to turn that in as part of your project. This is the honest truth. And never do this to yourself, people. But this is what I did. I went, OK. So she took off. She took off for that. instead of an, in fact, she said later, you got an A instead of an A plus or whatever the hell it was.

Anyway, whatever the grade was, 95 instead of 100, just like freaking the counties of Georgia. Anyway, I did this, guys. I figured out what I should have gotten in the class if I had turned in the damn three by five note card and what that would have done to my GPA and all this stuff. I would have finished with a 3.0 GPA at the University of Nebraska and said it was a 2.9999 on over a freaking note card. I mean, the things are just, ah.

Yup.

Brad (01:36:08.331)
And now look where you are

Now look where I am. I'm literally just sitting in a corner of my kids playroom.

Where you could have ended up,

Brad (01:36:25.678)
It says 70, 1975 hours two.

How was I in I was 10.

was negative one. wasn't Brad's parents probably hadn't even met.

No, they were married. They my oldest brother.

Okay, all right.

Brad (01:36:46.739)
What year were you born, Brad? 83.

Keith (01:36:59.884)
saying that the math works out you're not saying that you

Keith (01:37:10.574)
Justin Trow is that you?

I you what, I don't want to So I'm going to I'm going to leave you guys to reunite.

coming together now.

Brad (01:37:22.638)
gonna be named Brad. Wait, I didn't know my dad grew it. We all come together right now. What a historical moment that would be if we were paperized.

It all makes sense. Yeah.

Keith (01:37:37.102)
While the state of Idaho is banning truck nuts, the state of Texas is

and can we stop for a moment and just give a little prayer of thanks that we do you know you won't be assaulted by truck nuts there and that's good that's an answer

Yeah. Now, if I were to, if I were to attach a good solid pair to my truck and then drive into Idaho, am I going to be pulled over and arrest? Like, do I have to stop at the, at the rest stop and detach my truck?

Do you know why we fold you over? You're driving, you look at the rear view mirror, you're like, oh, oh gosh, lights are flashing, comes out, sir. What seems to be the problem, officer?

You know why I pulled you over? It's because I can see your no-

Brad (01:38:26.476)
big nuts. You have a pair of truck nuts. back of your vehicle.

You see, you're not from around here, are you?

See your nuts from the next county son. We don't take your time.

In Idaho, we do things a little differently. I'm going to step out of the truck. Okay, so in Idaho, they're banning truck nuts. In Texas, do see what's on Governor Abbott's desk right now? It's to ban THC. Bro, you're telling me. Okay, so hold on a second.

That is so stupid.

Brad (01:38:58.841)
Dan Patrick is a

Sorry, I'll just stay here quietly for a minute.

No, no, no, without without getting too specific in the minutia of the players involved here in Texas, because you're right, our lieutenant governor, he is. my goodness, I did not. my I did. I don't think I knew that.

Just go to the bar!

Brad (01:39:17.708)
You got contacts in the liquor industry.

I knew but I didn't know the old bar anyway just hold on for a second before we get caught in the minutiae of the players involved which by the way he is you know what he is he is a late 80s early 90s throwback Christian conservative but but not really because of what you just said his connections in the end it's it's so it's it's right exactly right the people that are pushing for this are

It's not about morality or peace.

Keith (01:39:49.138)
Big alcohol. Yes. And the big tobacco. That's the whole thing. But the people that are funding this and it's sitting on Abbott's desk. But is he going to?

You

I think that's, yes, I do. think that that's why he...

The longer this delays, yeah.

I think that he is going to be told because of Dan Patrick's relationships with the lot of the liquor industry because he owned a freaking bar and the bogus things that they're trying to. Well, you you got you got kids going into these places and buying tea. Show me.

Keith (01:40:26.83)
Oh yeah, yeah, the whole justification is it looks like candy. Well, if your kid, your kid's not allowed in the store anyway. It says on the door, 21 and over only. I mean, it's so obvious what is happening here. But he says he's not concerned about the governor. He thinks that he's gonna sign it. is this not, this line from this story is just right out of

the early 90s, you know, like a Christian coalition type press release. Quote, you might go into a store and buy them and not even know what you're getting your kid high on drugs and hooked for life. You might go into a store and buy them and not even know that you're getting your kids high on drugs and hooked for life because you think it's a lollipop or candy. I mean, is this a... So anyway.

just available at your local Kroger or ATV.

It's not in your- It's not in the aisle with a pack of gum!

Right next to the magazines and.

Keith (01:41:30.698)
I cannot believe this state is so ass backwards, on so many things and so blind to so many other things. It's just, Texas is lost. Can we just say it's, I mean, you can go any direction. It's lost.

But there's some stupid people here. There's some stupid people and.

Mmm

But it's on both sides of the aisle and we get caught in the middle. We get the Islamic enclave surrounding North Dallas. At the same time, we can't buy THC if this thing gets signed. It's just this thing makes no sense at all. It's schizophrenic.

problem. It's a huge problem in Texas. I've seen kids walking down the street, nine years old, just high AF. And there you it's just horrible. It's horrible.

Keith (01:42:19.224)
because their moms didn't know what they were buying their kids. They're like, crap, I'm running late. Let me just grab something, make my kid happy this weekend.

That's the worst part is that it's the it's the obvious pandering or the I'm not not paying it's the obvious money from the liquor industry that is is just it pisses me off. Thanks. Appreciate you bringing that one. Sure.

you know my I mentioned this before as well my southern baptist died in the will southern baptist uncle When he was dying of cancer, this is back when you could only get medical marijuana in georgia I don't know what the marijuana laws or thc or anything. I don't know what that's like in georgia But i'm this was 15 years ago man more than that probably And and he ended up at the end of his life He was using marijuana

And he said I was completely wrong about that. This was the only thing that helped the pain that helped me get through this. And God bless you. he changed his tune. OK, let's see here. OK. We got to do some animal stuff here. We haven't done any animal stuff here. I want you to see this picture that the Baron of Bubbles on Twitter who makes incredible soap. He has no idea I'm to say this, but MKMsoap.com.

I actually really like he sent some bars of soap to the studio last week and it's actually on it's I promise you not a sponsor. Smell my mojo.com or is that what it is? Okay, I didn't know that. Okay.

Brad (01:43:50.19)
That smell my mojo is.

Brad (01:43:56.334)
she makes up to.

I see. So you're, you're actually.

You know, mean, so can you use dial or like, what are you?

Just toss something in there.

the

Brad (01:44:14.597)
That is not real. How do you know that's real? You know.

look it up while I read this you'll pick up keywords that you can google on your own on that fancy dial up internet.

I was at marijuana. Tell you what's influencing me more than anything is those truck nets.

Go photographs dating back to 1932. So go ahead and type in your little computer box there 1932 capture a remarkable incident in a Norwegian village. Oh, we got to save this for Rebecca where a three and a half year old girl was kidnapped by an eagle while playing outside. The bird swooped down, seized her in its talons and flew off around 200 villagers immediately began searching for the child. After approximately seven hours, they discovered her.

Keith (01:45:10.67)
unharmed in the eagle's nest perched 180 meters. All right, five times August, you're have to look up 180 meters while Brad does the legwork on the other stuff. Above the ground, has 180 meters up in the air. Miraculously, she survived the ordeal and went on to live a full life passing away on November 12, 2010 at the age of 81. Is it fact or is it fiction? Brad, what have you

Can I have looked out because it's a according to AI Several sources suggest the photos associated with this event are faked or staged due to the technological limitations of cameras at the time And when because when it was supposed to 1932 at the time the improbable nature of the eagle carrying such weight biological plausibility or an othologists Which right if you've never been to an ornithologist party, let me don't pants

And zoologists have expressed skepticism regarding the ability of even large birds like eagles to lift and fly with a child of that weight citing the physics involved in typical prey size of such birds. was 1932. Okay. Look up what a camera looked like in 1932. You tell me if they could have snapped those pictures in succession that quickly. Because those were the days where you took

Alright.

one and you had to like, yeah, flip, you know, put the, uh, the new, the new negative in and it took time. was like changing out of musket, you know, yeah, here's a 1932 Kodak.

Keith (01:46:53.902)
Stop it.

I mean maybe they did have some I mean I don't know I'm not a camera expert but it seems like it took right wait I just feel like you couldn't go ching ching yeah ching

Well, you would ask the eagle to stop and smile. cheese, hold that pose. Hold that pose.

Hold on, Eagle, stay.

Yeah, can you do it again? Yeah, and you're not supposed to say Ching either because that's that gets all that deuce well No, no, sorry deuce five is in our audience. He is Asian. He's the Asian representative Okay, as long as he says it's okay to say Ching which is what I said Yeah, that's still close enough to change that that could be taking his offensive I will have to give you the okie dokie as to whether or not you're gonna be

Keith (01:47:30.702)
That's chit-ching.

Keith (01:47:36.76)
we will wait for

Brad (01:47:56.568)
Yeah, you're right. Good. I know that was gonna be it was gonna be a bad thing, but turned out good.

Woo!

Keith (01:48:04.312)
So there was a dog in... Hello, audio. What happened there? Brad's looking guilty. Okay, so there was a street puppy in Qatar. little... No, whatever. And so they took her to the UK, this little puppy. And as soon as they took her to this like pound, they were gonna rehome her and she was staying with the foster parents or whatever.

I didn't do it.

Brad (01:48:15.918)
Cover.

Keith (01:48:31.872)
She's just apparently a wild dog. don't know how she got from. I don't I don't know. I don't know the backstory. Don't care. But as soon as they got back to the UK with this puppy, the puppy escaped. then and then what ended up happening is I guess they were on an island or something. And so she swam for 36 days. She was missing. It covered 100 miles.

And so like she had to swim across the channel or whatever to get to the I don't know whatever and they're just saying what a cool what a great girl she's such a good dog what a dumb ass I don't why don't you just be cool and wait to get adopted I just would not so now everybody wants to adopt this dog and I say that's a red flag I mean that's am I just the negative

I'm still trying to catch up in my brain with what exactly happened. That was a street puppy you

Yeah, and so they took the dog to Britain. They were gonna adopt her out and then as soon as she got there she's like screw this I'm gonna make your life a living hell and so she went missing for 36 days and Yes, okay, I've introduced nobody else into this story

dog did

Brad (01:49:44.334)
Brad, were you following it? Yeah, a little bit. mean, okay.

I mean, it's not the best story Keith brought to the table.

Honestly my brain, I got a little distracted because I started looking at camera speeds from 1932.

So truck nuts, they've been replaced in your mind.

I forgot all about those. I'm trying to see if Bert really picked up a kid in 1932 and he's well documented.

Keith (01:50:08.856)
Thank

Keith (01:50:13.166)
should rename this because I love animals and I love animal stories and but I just they love you. This one in particular just bugs me. What a what a troublemaker dog. We must change the name of the show to the Friday 80D Friday Friday 80. It's gonna be a lot. I love this. Okay. This guy has all these dogs and he has a sign on the on the side of your corner lot and then look at this. Okay. So, you walk by

What?

Brad (01:50:29.326)
Chop it up finer than that.

Keith (01:50:42.71)
and then the sign says, promise I'm not mean and there's a bucket of balls. so anybody can stop there and throw balls for the dog. Look at the dog just waiting. I saw the name of the dog. was hoping you would see that. Mojo.

name of the dog.

Brad (01:51:02.258)
see the Daily Mojo. That's the Daily.com. Thank you.

Maybe Mojo just throw the tennis ball and we will be friends. That's a lazy. No, I'm sorry. That's cute.

love this. love dogs.

I gotta have that. That's good stuff. That is good. And look, if I just wait for, see, now that's how you make them, instead of being angry at people walking by for no reason, they actually anticipate, they're like, comes a party, here comes a party, I got the ball, look, here comes somebody. Yeah, right there, see, That's exactly what he was saying.

You see the sign? Read the

Brad (01:51:49.885)
I had a black lab that I could put a cube of cheese on his nose and just give him the command just to just a hand out. He would sit there. I could go into the next room and come back a minute later. He'd still be sitting there until I went,

She

Brad (01:52:05.782)
And he'd throw it up and it. He was a good dog. That was a good dog. Dogs are awesome. He's dead now.

Wait, what? No, didn't see that one come. Well, no, you said when you used to have it. And I think that gave it away. This next thing would totally happen to me. Did you hear about the guy in China a couple of weeks ago who went paragliding and ended up? gosh, I think it was. I want to say, look this up for me, please, Brad. He's above the clouds. I forgot how high he was. But the temperature up there was this is fun. This is a fun fact.

Wait.

Keith (01:52:41.87)
Here we go. Trivia time. Negative 40 Celsius is the same as negative 40 Fahrenheit. So it's negative 40 degrees up here because his like shoot ends up. Okay, look, look it up. Here he is. Look at all the ice and stuff. Man, he's just like, Hey, this sucks. I need to get down. He got in trouble with the government because he was up in airspace. You don't want to get, yeah, you don't want to get in trouble with Chinese government. I don't know what ended up happening to him. They probably

possibly.

Brad (01:53:03.246)
Enjoy it.

Brad (01:53:09.132)
He's been executed now.

say congratulations you survived for five.

He knows my old dog Jackson now because he's dead too. Is this real? I'm looking at it, but it says on the BBC headline, says Chinese paraglider. Survive accidental 8000 meter high flight. 8000 meters, what to three is three meters, three feet to a meter, right?

no.

Yes, look it up. you?

Keith (01:53:31.246)
Five miles,

Keith (01:53:36.376)
Five miles, right?

Brad (01:53:43.63)
damn it jimmy carter uh which would be 24 000 yeah

4.9 miles. I got

The MSN in global news says viral video of Chinese paraglider likely includes faked AI footage.

So you're saying the footage is real. But the story is real.

Just making that make something look that real. That's not, you can't do that. No way. Nope.

Keith (01:54:13.336)
think the story's real, maybe you're right about the video.

video of near frozen pair glider identified as fake the viral footage of a nearly frozen sky-high pair glider what did you know what we should change the name of where's the camera

It's attached to the thing, right?

Right after parts of the video. Hold on. I'll put this link in the chat.

what okay we got a new we got a new title forget the ADD forget the live stream drinks with Keith no no no it's it's Friday fake faker

Brad (01:54:49.726)
Put it in the private chat. About Friday, is it bullshit?

I love the alliteration though, it needs work.

Friday, aw, eff no.

see.

Friday, fake or fact, huh? Friday, fake or fact, hang on.

Brad (01:55:10.21)
Friday, are they effing with you?

Friday of the effing with you. Wait, I don't know that that's the... can, we'll work. Hang on a second. Here we go. Viral video of near frozen paraglider identified as fake. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.

on your brain.

Brad (01:55:27.342)
Is that an elephant?

No, that's the, see, that's the creaking there and the wind and all that stuff. How would you fake this though? That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Sounds like an elephant.

that people like us would sit here and watch it and go.

Yeah, but he's in China where he got in trouble because his government thinks he was in airspace.

Brad (01:55:47.168)
Airplane That's what the story says that he's in China. Does he even exist?

that's fair. According to Get Real, a security company specializing in AI-fueled deception and malicious digital media, there are stark discrepancies between portions of the video suggested since that. tell me. Tell me more. Hang on.

NBC says the logo of an AI company had been cropped out of the footage.

Ooh, oh, now he's cold though. See how he got all icy and whatnot. When Reuters consulted, get real. The company said it was fairly confident. Oh, fairly confident that portions of the video. So why, why, why is just portions of it AI generated? See what I'm saying? Like what parts real any of it? Did it happen at all?

I don't I don't believe in it. This is the problem that we're getting into. Yeah is we don't know what's real anymore and you have to question everything. It's obnoxious. That's the rule on the Daily Mojo. If I'm not standing in front of something seeing it happen. I don't miss. I don't like I said yesterday, Keith. I don't know that you're I don't know that Brad's real. I didn't either one of you. I think you're just prompt in my in my

Keith (01:56:48.844)
Hmm

Brad (01:56:59.662)
my whole fake existence. Yeah. Well, even even reality though is going to be, know, between the humanoids and the skin generation and brain generation. You're not going to know even if it's in front of you, if the person you're talking to is is real, right? Unless it's data from Star Trek and he can't use contractions.

So are these real? They're saying that they've done, what was it on here? Something about takeoffs and landings, 170 hours of flight time, a flying car, and just a heads up to, what is it over there? It's a five-star Ford of Louisville. I already bought a truck. I don't need these.

Those are Fords. I just got the name of your show though. The name of your show is, this one real? That's the name of your show. Is this real?

I don't this real? That would be ITR. this real? It is. Is this for real? Nah, it's just funny. It's like it's

the

Brad (01:58:08.984)
Well, I

the

It's fake.

Keith (01:58:20.236)
I can skip an ad here at some point. There we go. So what if I bought a Ford? How would you feel, I'm Toyota and Honda guy my entire life.

you

I'm not. I'm I'm I'm I'm

Brad (01:58:33.39)
yeah, forward, mean.

But what if I were to buy, you said you would not talk to me again?

Yeah, we couldn't be friends anymore. Well, that's fake. That's a fake. That's real.

Whoa, what's happening here?

Keith (01:58:48.045)
What is that?

I mean that looks cool and all wow that looks really good back in the future and scene of the okay well hang on a second. I saw a car in there that I've got to have I don't need the four pickup truck I need I need this one right here no no come on now the timing on that I just yeah this one I want that one that one right there was that here.

Was it real or was it not? Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

we're ever going to get flying cars like this.

Yeah, but nobody who's going to, where are going to drive it? can't, mean, so many restrictions on space and.

Brad (01:59:38.83)
The masses down here on the ground driving at each other. Can you imagine if we put them up in the air and then they start falling on people?

Here's a quick question for you gentlemen. One in four white men say they feel discriminated against at work for their race or gender. Now, we all work in unusual circumstances, all three of us. Never go to the office, right? I know so many white guys who have told me, absolutely.

I never go to the office.

Brad (02:00:09.9)
be so fired if I went to an office.

46 % self-censor. Ooh, that's dangerous. Yeah, I bet they do.

Yeah, I will say being in the entertainment space, is being, you know, straight white guy has had its downside for the last 15, 20 years or so. don't need any more of me.

I know several people that have definitely lost opportunities, been told they lost opportunities because of their sex and race. And I'm like, why? But yeah, what good is it gonna do? Waste my time.

Still thinking about that sock folding robot. I'm telling you, it's starting to look better and better every day. Either deal with that or deal with the idiots you have to deal with when you go to an office. What's the difference?

Keith (02:01:07.598)
let me see here. I'm gonna put that one down there. Okay.

robots get tired when there's no robots don't get tired when they decide to hunt you down. You can outrun the police next to you in the cubicle, you know, but true. That's different. Eventually they're going to run out of they're going to the batteries have to go dead at some point. Not before you're destroyed and terminated. Wow.

be fully charged.

Keith (02:01:36.098)
Have a good weekend, Brad. Have a great weekend. Okay, is this okay when when speaking of college.

robot. How long is the tester robot battery last Tesla robot battery?

don't know how long does it last.

Let's see, AI according to the AI machine, the amount of time a single charge, 10 hour runtime with the 44680 batteries. So all you have to do is be able to hide for 10 hours. I got this. up all of the outlets. Yeah, until Humanoid 2.0 comes out and the battery time is doubled. And throws it to the, here, here, plug yourself in, man. And then, yeah.

Okay, so I mentioned college earlier. I did a college radio show back in the day. Radio had just been invented. That's how old I am. I had show and I had this little segment where because they were in a period of putting all these new sculptures and whatnot on the campus at University of Nebraska and around the city of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Brad (02:02:25.358)
And we know what doing right now.

Keith (02:02:47.11)
It was the communist goals, know, it's like just put meaningless art everywhere and you know, whatever but I would have a segment because you knew the campus people call it is it art or is it crap and that was a segment I had and And and this right here. I want to get y'all's opinion. Is this art? Or is it crap? Right people are in a vacuum sealed

I didn't even need it to load up. I didn't even need to see Hold on a second.

Brad (02:03:19.214)
I guess it's type of performance art, but it's crappy performance art. Is it? Come on. There's something to that. How long can you stand there and ponder life's greatest mysteries? That's what art's supposed to do. It's supposed to make you go, wow, have profound connection with how we interpret. Now, I could look at that for

I don't know, a minute or two if I happen to cross and go, geez, that's crazy. And I guess to that degree, then it's done its job as art. But if there were hot babes in there, that'd be all right with me. You know what? Actually, it depends who's in that bag, doesn't it? Yes, it does. Yes, yes, it does. That is the brush stroke in which you are using makes all the difference. Yeah, because I would have never thought.

Wait a minute. What does it I'd say it's not just a gigantic steaming

You're saying this

What is that hose attached to? It looks like it's going in that person's butt. That goes up to the nature. when you're in the bag, I don't see it going in their mouth. What pose would you make? See, maybe that's where the art part comes in is like, yeah, stack a pose. Let's let's let's reevaluate the situation. OK, the art aspect of it is all wrong. If you're to put somebody in a bag,

Brad (02:04:57.942)
It should be a ballet, somebody in a ballet pose, a beautiful lady in a ballet pose with their hair whisping and it's frozen in time and it's presenting a moment. This looks like people just kind of like got put in a bag and however it froze up and it was like any old person. But if you were presenting something there that was actually something to look at, I could see that being more of like an art

but this seems like a rough sketch of an idea that didn't come to fruition. Isn't that what any art is, is in process? I mean, is art truly ever really finished? Wow. No, it's This has a long way to go.

has ever had on the show.

This art truly ever finished. Thank you. Is this better or worse than the banana duct tape to the wall? Yeah, it's definitely there's a lot more effort behind it.

much

Keith (02:06:02.382)
I'm not saying it's art, I'm just saying it's better than the banana.

How are they breathing no? Yeah, and I inside of a big bag. mean that'd be something I'll be different. No, I call it banana in a bag It's freeze-dried fruit

because they have, think.

Keith (02:06:17.198)
I think what you're looking...

Keith (02:06:22.542)
But I think one hose is bringing air in and I think the other is taking your.

I'm with Brad though, the other one looks like it's in their butt.

No, I just think it's near them. don't...

Yeah, I was looking for the play button. couldn't

they're all in the butt,

Keith (02:06:42.998)
No, that was on the wrist there. I don't know. It's got the hopes. I don't know. It gets to the area.

How the hell are they breathing?

Keith (02:06:55.746)
Yeah, one last thing before we go well, I still have the question for you. I was just looking up the other day because I'm just I get down these rabbit holes. Palm trees, palm trees, right? I want you to see this map. Apparently there are six kinds of palm trees. Again, there's no segment. This is a non sequitur here. Okay, I have nothing other than just I any. Palm trees ladies and gentlemen.

Anyway, palm tree.

She went from humans inside life-size bags to palm trees. trees.

Got it. OK. I was fascinated because I'm such a nerd.

Look at the time.

Keith (02:07:36.952)
Look at this. You get palm trees in southern Idaho? I mean, sorry, southern Utah? Excuse me. Look at that. And then up here into New Jersey, out here, it looks like kind of part of Connecticut might even be getting in on the act. Come on now.

But the weird part is you don't have palm trees out there in LA, which is there, there's a bunch of them and they're not native to LA. So that's

Look at the growth line. Look at the growth line. Look at this green. So this guy here, windmill palm, can live all the way up here, means along the coast. But still, I just never think of the Northwest as having.

I have some good friends who are windmill palms and they live in Canada. and we go to visit them on occasion.

Really? Interesting. Look at that.

Brad (02:08:18.478)
how you find the stats for something like this. Right. Who walked the United States? Nope, not that way. Sheep. Palm trees that way. Palm seed, Johnny, palm seed.

Johnny Apple.

Keith (02:08:34.218)
Southern Missouri has a windmill palm. just I was I'm sorry the absolute nerd in me just thought this was crazy Okay, before we go we like to do an eighth grade question from a 1912 test given in Bullitt County schools of Kentucky

Wait a minute, that wasn't the eighth grade question just a second ago?

No. You know what? forgot to look ahead and get a question picked out for you.

asking for a friend.

Brad (02:09:02.184)
We stick to art or crap. I'm good at that. Here's the question. Does the windmill palm grow in Canada?

Have you asked Grock yet?

about windmill pot. You just told us that it did.

you just turned on a lot of devices, Not in my house. Hold on, let's see. Does Canada have palm trees? the surprising answer. Hang on, y'all.

She just said they did. That's what that graphic just said, that there were palm trees in Canada.

Keith (02:09:36.268)
No, stopped at the, no, it got right to that border.

right you just stop right there we're not going in there hey no you're not bringing your palm trees up here eh hoser take off

Let's see here. Okay, hang on Already closed it. Dang it. Okay. Anyway, you know what? I didn't look ahead for these questions and the questions are getting longer and longer this I feel like we tortured eighth graders in Bullitt County, Kentucky in 1912 I bet there weren't actual tests anywhere else with this involved. I mean this is it's not nice We were so mean and we used to have smart people

We don't like them and we don't anymore.

Ooh, that's interesting. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me ask you this and then we'll go. Remember, this is 1912. What president was impeached and on what charge? 1912.

Brad (02:10:26.35)
17.

Brad (02:10:33.652)
gosh, don't know. Trump. Yeah, he's a time traveler, isn't he? It's his fault.

Keith (02:11:10.616)
Cause he's like, I get to choose my own staff and they were like, no, you have to use the.

can't wait. I'm gonna run. I'm running to Kroger right now to tell somebody.
