What I have may not amount to a hill of beans, but this is my hill, and these are my beans. Welcome back. You are tuned into Implicit Bias Radio, the only show that tells you what you're thinking before you've even had the misfortune of thinking it. I am your host, Kavon Bordelon, and on this episode of Implicit Bias Radio, we are talking about the architects of disaster. We are talking about the people who don't just trip over their own feet. They actually spend the whole afternoon turning staircases into slip and slides of pure malice so people can launch themselves into a wood chipper like a human torpedo. We've all been there, haven't we? We've all known that one person who swears a three-hour tour is just a little boat ride, right up until the weather starts getting rough, the tiny ship is tossed, and you're stranded on an uncharted desert isle, questioning why you'd be that moron's first mate in the first place. It's unfortunately serious stuff. To fully understand the gravity of it, we actually have to go to the blueprint. Matthew 18:3, King James Version. Except ye become as little children and receive the kingdom of God as little children, ye shall not enter into it. Look, this is not a green light for us to become like children, start eating glue sticks or pitching a tantrum in the middle of a target. No. It's about the state of who we actually are. That beautiful, terrifying vulnerability. To be like a child is to be dependent and trust that the adults in the room actually know where the exits are. We're hardwired actually for trust, if you think about it. It's how we learn, it's how we survive. Without it, we'd still be staring at a wall, wondering if fire was just another government psyop. But that trust can unfortunately also be our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. And in the hands of a sociopath, that trust becomes a loaded weapon pointed at everyone else. Which brings us to the real meat of that lesson in the good book. Matthew 18, six, that doesn't mess around. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. A millstone, not a parking ticket, not a strongly worded letter to the manager from Karen, a giant rock around the neck, and a one-way trip to the ocean floor. Why? Because taking a trusting person and steering them toward ruin, whether it's a cult, a pyramid scheme, peddling essential oils or something that smells like regret, a can't miss tip on a three-legged horse, it's the purest form of betrayal. The person who does evil alone is really just a cliche, a garden variety predator operating out of a damp basement with a ring light. But the one who recruits, the one who turns other people's faith into a guided tour of hell, that's the apex predator. That's the architect. It's pure ace ventura energy, total commitment, zero self-awareness, you know, talking to the animals while the whole operation is on fire, then looking you dead in the eye and saying, Alrighty then. He lets everyone else think Finkel isn't Einhorn. These people are the human equivalent of a 1987 hair metal power ballad. They come at you in full spandex, screaming about Forever in Destiny, making you feel like you're part of some grand epic. Then you wake up and realize that your Satanist girlfriend bought a t-shirt from your favorite band, meaning there's a hundred percent chance of the band breaking up and you're just gonna be a bad wedding singer for the rest of your life. They don't just steal your hopes and dreams, they steal the ability to trust the next person who comes along with a map. Think about it. If I steal your wallet, I'm a thief. Boring. Maybe I make the police blotter for, oh, five minutes. But if I convince you that your wallet is actually a spiritual anchor and you need to hand it over so I can cleanse its energy for the benefit of your ancestors, now, now we're talking. Now, I'm not just a thief, right? I'm rewriting your reality while I empty your pockets. It's the ultimate long con. Full airplane absurdity. Shirley, you can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. These people walk around with a permanent half smile, casting themselves as the hero of the story while they're the malware, quietly corrupting everyone else's operating system. And here's the truth the most dangerous person on the planet isn't the one who tells you to be faithful. It's the one who hands out the cups, smiles, and convinces everyone that they're doing God's will when they actually drink the Kool-Aid. So as you go about your week, stay open. Be like children, as the world says. But for the love of all that is holy, please check the credentials of the boat captain and maybe figure out why the howls would be on a boat with such riff-raff anyway. If someone starts talking about a shortcut that requires your social security number and a photo of your cat, remember the millstone. Remember the beans. This is implicit bias. Stay skeptical. Stay weird. Don't trust anyone selling you a shortcut with a smile. And remember, these are your beans, and that's your hill. Welcome back to Implicit Bias Radio. Now, for our regular listeners, I know this is a bit of a curveball. We've got some reasoning behind it, to be honest. The reasoning doesn't matter. Why? Because we felt like it. It's our implicit bias. We're going to change the way the show runs down this week. We are going to do our weekly whiskey segment in just a moment, but right now I'm going to introduce you to the crew who's here right now in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer because there's some important stuff that be happening next week in Lafayette, Louisiana, when we actually do the show like two days later, and we want to make sure we touch on it. Let me start with the rustic renegade Caleb Morse. It's great to have you back, Caleb. Great for us to be in the Mr. Lester's T SPL. I guess this is the original, and that's the TSPL South.

SPEAKER_06 6:04

Look, you know, I thoroughly enjoy being here. It's not as nice. Oh, God, no. I mean, I'm just gonna say it.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

We're not the cigar lounge at Mr. Lester's. I wish this was a recreation of that. It would be fantastic.

SPEAKER_06 6:18

Eventually, eventually we'll be sitting here smoking cigars.

SPEAKER_04 6:20

One day. Yeah. One day. Keep holding your breath until then, just because you never held. But one day it'll happen. All right, let's go to the bar where we have back with us who could not make it last week. Big a bed of diamonds, filles, Grant Galottis, William S. NA called jewelers. He is also known as KB because he's from Kenne, bro.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

Yeah, the chairs at Mr. Lester's are a lot better than what we got working here.

SPEAKER_04 6:40

Okay, I look, I don't necessarily know about that. Look, I'm picking at you. No, that big chair. No, no, they're more comfortable. But that big chair at Mr. Lester's, I mean, I I feel like a kid sitting in an adult chair again. You look like a kid. I I was setting that up for you, and I was gonna see if our new audio board operator for this week would actually catch that. But yeah, I I know, I I do. Like I looked at it and I was like, I hate the way I sit in that chair. I look like me, which unfortunately you have to watch. So I apologize for that.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

Always good to be back, uh, especially when you've got 128 plus proof and Caleb's port.

SPEAKER_04 7:13

Yeah, we are gonna talk about the weekly whiskey in just a moment. When I introduce you to the last member of the crew here for this segment, he is Andrew Ward of the Acadian of Veteran Alliance. It is great to have you back. Hey, bud.

SPEAKER_05 7:25

I I thought uh it had been a while since I thought that I'd bombed the last time. It had been a while since you uh had me back.

SPEAKER_04 7:30

Dude, no, okay, understand. So thanks. You're always welcome. Okay. Just stay in touch. I'll just hang outside the front. We occasionally get out of touch and we don't get a chance to always talk back and forth. We normally reconnect for implicit birthday, which we didn't do this year just because of the way things worked out.

SPEAKER_05 7:44

No apologies needed. And I get a chance to see my board member. I never see my buddy. Caleb is on our board. No, no, no, no. He's on the board. There is, there is. But he's not there.

SPEAKER_04 7:52

No, no, he's always there in spirit. In spirit. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 7:55

Yep. Thanks, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 7:56

But I know he's there in spirit because usually he's the one pouring the weekly whiskey. And he wants everybody to be in the spirit. Okay, so we need to talk about Acadian and Veteran Alliance, what you guys have going on, and what's so important that I'm like, yeah, we're going to rearrange the show to talk about this.

SPEAKER_05 8:10

That's very, very kind of you.

SPEAKER_04 8:11

There are, oh, no, it's not. It's just what we need to do because it's the right thing to do. Thanks. So when we think about Acadiana Veteran Veteran Alliance, for those who don't know, your mission is to help veterans assimilate back into the workforce, back into life from PTSD.

SPEAKER_05 8:28

It's all of the above. It's all of the above. It's, it's, you know, we always say we don't say thank you for your service. We act on it, you know? And so for us, it's action. So what do the veterans need, right? Like for Caleb and I, in our our demographic, do we need career advancement? Do we need PTSD help? Do we need whatever that is? We kind of mold it to fit. But then now we're seeing a younger demographic, like my son, who just got back from a one-year deployment to Kenya. Thank you for the first time. For the Army National Guard. And now he's 23 years old and he's a veteran. And so what is the 23-year-olds that just came back from Kenya and Djibouti and Kosovo? What are they going to need? They're not going to need the same things we're going to need. So we're going to adapt it to them. Yeah, there's there's a lot of organizations doing amazing work out there. But for us, like I feel good about what we're doing for Acadia and the veterans that we have here.

SPEAKER_06 9:13

So and when you look at is my mic on? No, he's he's got to bring that level up just a bit. And when you look at throughout history, right, as we go through indifferent conflicts and everything else, a lot of the organizations that exist today, the veteran organizations, didn't adapt. They didn't grow. When people got back from Vietnam or they got back from Korea or they got back from Saudi Arabia and all the other conflicts, they didn't change. They were like, well, we've been this way since World War I, since World War II. And why change now? And what we see is the exodus of people by attrition alone. Not many veterans my age or our age, Andrew, are members of the VFW anymore. Why? Because their halls are so thin. Not that they're bad at a bad organization. They're still a great organization, but they lack the recruiting because they didn't adapt.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

Well, and for those that aren't feeling that, then we have our socials once a month. And they come there and they're like, I was just looking for a place. And even internally, like so the organization's been around six years since 2020. And in the beginning, we had unemployment as one of our big keys. But then right away, we were like, you know what, there's not a lot of veterans that are unemployed. They're just underemployed. They cannot use their skills to the best of their ability and they don't realize that they have and that companies want them. So we changed it to underemployment. And then last year we were like, well, we're just missing out on the entrepreneurials uh spirit of these people that maybe want to start their own company, like Caleb and Rustic, right? So we're gonna start mission launch. And so now we do twice a year a six-week entrepreneur program that myself and Chris Wickman on our board designed. And we've had startups in oil and gas and healthcare and all these different industries. So we understand the failures, the successes, how to how to go about taking it from zero to one. And that just gives them another avenue to work with us. So if you're talking PTSD help, sometimes that is what the ganglion shots, it can be it can be the ganglion block shots, it can be there are so I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you since the last time I came, we we've integrated our model. So what we were doing was in silos. And so what we decided to do was A, introduce a telehealth counseling piece. So now if you're a veteran, you come to AVA, if you want to have our counselors, and it can be from the comfort of your own home, we will pay for 12 sessions for you. You're not out of pocket at all. We will pay for that. If you want to get the stellar ganglion block, which reduces hyperarousal, reduces PTSD in conjunction with, we pay for that too. And here's the kicker: when we were just doing the shot, we had an 82% success rate. Now we've had 15 veterans that go with the shot up front and the counseling after, and we're tracking them, right, consistently with questionnaires and all the things. 100%. 100% reduction from where they were to where they are now, because what we find is that the shot is like the primer and the counseling is the paint. So and and from someone who's taken the shot, right?

SPEAKER_06 11:55

Me too. Me too. First and foremost, I'm still very aroused. I'll let you make all the bad jokes in the segment, Caitlin. But so secondly, from uh from someone who's who's done the the the block, I didn't realize I had anxiety. You know, I have a PTSD diagnosis, TBI, all the other stuff, you know, all the fun acronyms. Um and I didn't know I had anxiety. And within a few days after the shot, I sat down and wept in my backyard because I finally knew what it meant to be meant to be content, uh, content with myself. And then I had to realize and learn what it meant to feel emotions. Because as a man who who shelved those emotions, as a veteran who didn't have time for those emotions, all of a sudden I was like, well, this is what joy feels like, this is what being content feels like, this is what sadness with depression. And it was it was a really big awakening. And to tell you that before I was on the board, the VA uh AVA, I did this, so and to tell you the help that I got from it and the self-revelation, and to have someone sit there and walk me through the process was ridiculous. It was amazing.

SPEAKER_04 12:57

Now that's that's why we do what we do. All these things cost money. Yeah. I mean, it it takes money to do this for veterans. And believe it or not, our government that is funding seemingly everything else, doesn't necessarily fund all of this. So they don't. You have to have fundraisers throughout the year. We do.

SPEAKER_05 13:14

You guys have a big event coming up. Can you tell us about the event? I can. Just to give you an idea, per veteran, if they're gonna go ahead and have the shot and they're gonna go ahead and through with the 12 counseling sessions, that's $3,000 per veteran if they go all the way through. So imagine a hundred come to us. That's a good amount of money. Yeah. Right. So throughout the year, we have different fundraisers. We're having one for the first time we've never done before. So we've had the buy you bourbon bash for the past five years. We've done other things, but we always wanted to have a gala. But I always said I didn't want it to be stuffy because veterans do not want to get, I mean, you know, we don't, it's it's just not our style, I guess. So we went and walked out the new Cajun Field Stadium Club space, the McGillag Club. Yep. Beautiful new addition on the west side. So we walked and they have this gigantic open area overlooking the Cajun Dome, overlooking the area. And so we rented it out on August 20th, next Thursday. We still have tickets available. We still have a few tables, but we're almost sold out. But we're flying in Congressional Medal of Honor winner Gary Latrell from California to be one of our keynote speakers. Cool. Amazing man. Look him up, Gary Lattrell, Vietnam era, four days, North Vietnamese on top of him. Not only did he take over his battalion, but he was conducting the South Vietnamese to help. And it was just an unbelievable guy, right? The original G.I. Joe guy. Yeah. So he's coming in. We're gonna have a big live auction with huge hunting and fishing and sports packages and things. I'll even give a little uh, so everybody knows Charlie Daniels. Yeah. Everybody knows the Devil Went Down to Georgia. Yes. I've got one of only 30 in existence handwritten lyrics to Devil Went Down to Georgia signed by Charlie Daniels. Wow. I got one of those. So we're gonna have some things that nobody's ever seen before, right? So it's gonna be steak, it's gonna be shrimp and grits, it's gonna be an open bar. So for us, we wanted to invest our money into the community because we want to thank them for the support we've received over these six years. But at the same time, we're calling it boots, brews, and bros because we just want to have a guy's night out. Now, ladies are welcome. I think it's some feedback. And I actually got that from my wife, from some ladies in my circle. Yeah. It's like if I do a boots, brews, and bros, am I gonna am I misogynist? And they were like, no, no, no, no, it's fine, it's good. You know, ladies are welcome. It's gonna come. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 15:18

Well, you know, what I find that's uh they they just lose the fact that women actually like men. Wait, real women actually like men.

SPEAKER_05 15:26

And the fair idea, you know. We actually got this idea from a friend of mine, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters gang, they do this thing called wine women and shoes. And it's been this staple for years. And I was like, I asked uh their their ED, I was like, if we do a male version of that, uh and she was like, You're all good, go for it. So we're gonna do that August 20th. Where can people get tickets? Eventbrite. So if they search Acadiana Veteran Alliance on Eventbrite, if they search Boots, Brews, and Bros on Acadiana Veteran Alliance, if they go to our website, there's an events tab on there. So all of the above, they can find it.

SPEAKER_04 15:56

Outstanding. So look, you want an opportunity to support veterans in Acadiana? This is a great way to do it. Not only support them, whether it's mentally, physiologically, economically, this is just a great way for us all to put that together. Andrew, we appreciate you coming on with us. Cheers. We look forward to seeing the events, see how it goes and the great success it's gonna be. Come right back for more Implicit Bias Radio. Now it is weekly whiskey time on Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon. Welcome back into the Mr. Lester's Top Secret Podcast layer. So if you are watching the podcast, you can see kind of what the Mr. Lester's TSPL, top secret podcast layer for the uninitiated, maybe our friends in New Orleans on WGNO Plus. We're located somewhere in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, because we don't exactly want people knowing that we are sitting around having pores and discussing topics that would get us canceled in 2019 very quickly. What, Caleb?

SPEAKER_06 16:47

Uh it's valid, but I mean, I think people know our vehicles by this point in time.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

Although I Well, with the amount of flock cameras that they've got around Louisiana, they probably do. Oh, yeah. That's a whole different discussion. Yes. And which we actually talked about, which by the way, it would be terrible if people like covered themselves so their skin wasn't even visible in clothing and they were using reciprocating saws with a diamond tip blade or the sharpened blade that would also be wrapped in bags. It would be terrible if people did that and then was cutting down the poles. It'd be horrific.

SPEAKER_06 17:18

It only happened a little while. You know, is what happened twice this week.

SPEAKER_04 17:21

Something like that. But yeah, that's that's terrible that people would do that just to protect their own privacy. Yeah. All right, that's a rabbit hole. We went down very quickly. We're now gonna jump out of the rabbit hole and to the bar where we've got Grant Galatis of William S.N.A. called Jewelers, as we introduced you to in segment two. Grant, you seem to be enjoying this weekly whiskey.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

Absolutely. Four Roses always has just such wonderful offers. I love it. I actually went to uh the low restaurant uh social again after you and I went uh with the wives and had an old fashioned made by Four Roses. It was actually really good. But uh usually something like this with a little heavier proof, you won't do that with.

SPEAKER_04 17:58

Oh no, see, I actually would love something like this really with alcohol in an old fashioned point two. Yes, and here's why: because the alcohol stands up to the sweet. You don't get too much sweet. Now, especially if you're making it with a Siro de Saison, the official mixer of implicit bias radio, because when you do, you get that depth of flavor as opposed to just that watery sweet that a lot of old fashions create that just seems to disappoint.

SPEAKER_06 18:22

Yeah, I always thought it's a lazy bartender.

SPEAKER_02 18:23

That's what it is. It's a lazy bartender. I always thought you wanted to be between 98 and 100 and some change for your for your old fashions.

SPEAKER_04 18:30

Well, I mean it just depends on the individual whiskey as well. Depends on depends on how short the skirt is. Anyway, let's go ahead and go to the other man at the bar. That is Chris Richard of Champines and Abbeyville, who brings us this weekly whiskey this week, which, as Grant kind of let the cat out of the bag here, is a four roses single barrel pick at 128.4 proof. 10128.2. 128.2. I couldn't quite see and couldn't quite remember, but 128.2 on this pick. So, Chris, tell us how you guys got to this pick and why this particular barrel.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Well, who doesn't love a good four roses pick anyway, right? Um, this is some some good juice in the bottle here. Um, like we said, coming in at 128.2 with the OBSQ um mash bill on there, recipe on there. Um, you're getting some rye out of it, you're getting a little floral out of it. Um, somebody mentioned something about roses earlier. Um, it's definitely well worth uh the drink on it.

SPEAKER_04 19:34

Yeah, that would that would be Caleb that mentioned something flowery because uh apparently he needed something for no, I'm not going there. Anyway, it was something about you know that hygiene product that he needed. Anyway, let's let's talk about this one because it is just that delicious. So, Caleb, you and I both savored this before we put a couple drops of water and whiskey, our proofing water into this. My initial taste on this was exactly what I've gotten out of. I think the highest proof four roses product I'd had coming into tonight when we recorded this episode was like 110. So this goes way beyond everything else. You just don't typically see a lot of really high-proof four roses.

SPEAKER_06 20:19

No, and at this, at this alcohol content, I don't think I've ever seen a bottle on the shelf of four roses that had it this high.

SPEAKER_04 20:27

I I that's what I'm saying. I I don't think I've ever seen one, much less tasted one. And I've even had what the four roses, the big one they charge $200 for the the something selection. You know the one I'm talking about, the signature. But I mean, I I've had that one, was underimpressed with that for the price. Now, what I find really interesting is though, this begins to follow that before I put a couple drops of water and whiskey in it. Because I'm sitting there tasting it and I'm like, man, I get a lot of spice. I got a ton of spice on the front end of this. To the point where I was like, it doesn't drink hot, it doesn't drink like 128, but it certainly does let me know that I don't know what the percentage of rye is in the mash bill, but it's rye forward, in my opinion. 35. So it classifies as a high rye bourbon. So what 51 corn at a minimum, 35 on the rye.

SPEAKER_01 21:18

So I mean 70, 70 corn, 35 rye.

SPEAKER_04 21:22

So 105 on the mash bill?

SPEAKER_01 21:24

No, I'm sorry. No, no, okay. Math is a thing. We try to do it every now and then. That's what the One. But some but somewhere around there. It's actually 60 corn. 60 corn, 35 rye, and then yeah, filled in.

SPEAKER_04 21:34

So you get that guaranteed high rye taste on it that you would expect from a four roses. What I loved is just a couple of drops of water. Really opened it up, and it it nuanced the edge on it, and it softened that edge just a bit. It really rounded out the caramel in this for me. It gave me those beautiful start to get floral notes, and those baking spices really started to jump out. I'm curious. As to kind of what grant you got from this when you tasted it at the bar. I mean, what notes did you bring out in this and what do you like about this?

SPEAKER_02 22:07

No, that's that's a perfect description. I'm just surprised that it's such a high rise, such a high proof, and it wasn't more peppery that it wasn't such an overwhelming, just a a really because usually the the close to 130 proof that especially with a high rye, it's gonna, it's gonna hit you and hit you hard. I'm I'm a little concerned actually, because usually those really kind of put me off a little bit and made me sit up in my chair. But I guess if you drink enough of them and you become a you know, become a closer to a brown or a black belt with this stuff, uh I should not bother you. But uh just oh my god, just the the flavors were nice before the water. You added the water, like you said, it rounded out the caramel, and caramel is where I like to be. So this is just a just a nice, roundabout, wonderful drink.

SPEAKER_04 22:49

All right, Caleb. So now it's time for us to find out what notes you pick up in this and where you pick them up from. Because for those who are new on WGNO Plus, you will learn that Caleb Morse is the nose that knows. Not only does he have a nose for the aroma coming out of the glass, his descriptions, and I hate to give him credit, they are asinine, but they are always spot on. It is a great juxtaposition of how crazy you can get a tasting note and how accurate it can be, Caleb.

SPEAKER_06 23:20

Well, you know, I liken Mind and Memories, right? And when I smelled this, the first smell I got, my grandmother had these large red roses that she had sweetheart roses, and next to those were these large red roses. And I was trying to look up all these different rose breeds because I'm not a roseologist. I made that word up. Shocker. Yeah. And uh I was like, what are they? What were they? And I can't tell you what they were, but they were the large, beautiful, deep, deep red rose petals.

SPEAKER_04 23:42

I bet you do know something about roses, though.

SPEAKER_06 23:44

They get a little thorny.

SPEAKER_04 23:47

I was gonna say, I'm sure that you just look at roses and go, I don't know anything about them, but these are fabulous. Fabulous.

SPEAKER_06 23:54

I get the rose petal smell. Speaking of rose petals, they stain clothing and sheets, by the way. But I get the rose petal smell on the aroma, followed by like this beautiful, rich, like clove honeysuckle. Yes. Like you get that honeysuckle right there. Then, not caramel, I get cooked brown sugar. Okay. That's what I get on the nose. On the palate, dark leather, like wet, good, full-grain leather. That's what I get on the palate first out of the way. Then I get overriped plum. Like, you know, when you go buy a plum, it's or you have a plum at the house and it sits too long, it gets real dark, and it's almost too soft. No, I really don't. Well, anyway. I forget about my fruits sometimes. I get that overly riped plum. So you get that deep, deep, dark fruit flavor to there, uh, followed by that kick of rye spice. And then it finishes up with this deep, dark, cooked brown sugar. It's so pleasant, so pleasing. When I put the water and whiskey in it and I softened it up, I lost things that I liked and I gained things that I liked. I'm I'm very con I'm I'm very torn between it because I lost the aggressiveness that I was like, ooh, this is where it's at. I lost that ethanol burn, the alcohol on it, but it rounded out the flavors so well. And I brought that overripe plum back to that beautiful, that beautiful reddish, like almost purple plum when it's perfect time to eat it. And then I was able to get that beautiful fruit flavor in the middle of that of the glass, and it just made it so pleasurable.

SPEAKER_04 25:20

Now, see, I didn't necessarily get plum prune a little there, right? But I mean, you're still talking about a stone fruit, right? You're talking the same type of profile, and I can absolutely see that. So, yeah, I I absolutely understand kind of what you're saying and what you're putting down, and I think it's spot on. What I find really interesting is the couple drops of water. They're gonna bring the proof down just a little. But man, it's not much. This proof, it's not much. And talk about I think this was the great call out. While it took some things away, it brought forth so much more.

SPEAKER_06 25:56

It accentuates so much. And you know, you can't the water does what it does. You can't tell it or think beforehand, hey, this is gonna bring out more of this flavor. It's always a big surprise what flavor comes forward, what it brings out, and what it rounds out, because you really don't know what it's going to do until it's in the glass. Agreed. Absolutely agreed.

SPEAKER_04 26:16

Okay, so it's time for us to wait, rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code, which means that we have to rate it as a red. I wouldn't drink it even if it was free. A yellow, I would only drink it if it was free. A green, I would buy this, or a blue, I would seek this out. And then we are going to play for the what would you pay championship belt chain presented by Box Drop of Lafayette, which for the uninitiated, it's just closest to the number. Whoever comes up with what's closest to the number, but what typically happens, and what we really like to see in playing the game is this it's who comes in at a price significantly higher than the price that it is offered from implicit bias, liquor collective member, Champagne's market in Abbeville, because man, these are these are fantastic bottles.

SPEAKER_06 27:02

This one's gonna throw me for a loop, too.

SPEAKER_04 27:04

So this one, so this one aged 10 and a half years because that's always a question. Grant likes to follow the the year per dollar rule, which makes sense, right? Because it's a great way to start measuring price a lot of times. Remember, single barrel store pick. So I'm I'm curious as to where that lands. So let's do this. Obviously, Chris cannot play because Chris is going to rate it a blue because he picked it, and he knows exactly what the price is. So I love these weeks when I get to play. So I'm gonna go first as I push the bottle over to Caleb. So, first of all, on my rating, this is a blue. And here's why this is a blue for me. This is an obtainable, and I don't want to say the flavor profile is the same because it's not. But this is an obtainable 128 that reminds me of something you might get in a bottle of George Stag, something that you're gonna get at some of these really higher end dollar amounts, right? That's what this reminds me of. It is that refined, it is that beautiful, it's that sweet and savory at the same time. It brings that level of craftsmanship to the whiskey. So this to me is a blue. Now, what would I pay? Man. So, Grant, I'm like you, I go, okay, so for every year in the barrel, typically the rule is about $10, which means 10 and a half. Call it what, you know, 115. I I'm I'm gonna go probably even a little higher because I've had bottles at 140, 150, 160 that drink this way. So for me, it's an easy 125 as a round number. 125 on this bottle all day, every day, I would pay that for this bottle. I think it fits in perfectly. So that's my rating. A blue and 125. Grant, where are you rating this on the Morse whiskey rating code? And what would you pay?

SPEAKER_02 28:59

Uh also a blue. Uh, it's a nice chameleon effect to where it can have so many flavors so nicely done at 128 and welcoming uh a high awry, but not overly powerful or peppery, well-disguised 128. And then you add the water to it and it just morphed and into something a little more pleasurable. So very well done. Definitely a blue. Uh you said they had a bottle before at Fort Roses that was like $200. So I'm thinking they may price their stuff that they enjoy themselves kind of high. So I'm gonna go like $149. $149. Okay. All right, Caleb. Sorry, Caleb.

SPEAKER_06 29:33

I must have hit his number. Oh, I was $150, is where I've been the whole time. I'm like $150, $150. No one say it. I'll go. I'm gonna go a dollar over you. Go right ahead, bro. So $150 is where I had my okay. Like, this is just a phenomenal. It's a blue. This is a phenomenal pour. Uh, there is lesser juice that sells for more than $150. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 29:56

And I think that's the that's the big takeaway. Now, here's the fun part. A normal bottle of the OBSQ. Yeah. You know what it runs, Grant?

unknown 30:06

Nope.

SPEAKER_04 30:06

$50? Yeah. It's in the $50 range. So this, but now the the normal OBSQ single barrel is not usually a 10-year, it's not a cast strength. So it's not necessarily what this is, which is why I have a feeling I know who's gonna wear the belt chain. Caleb. No, I I don't. I don't, I I think I think because I am the lowest number out there on the bid, and we're gonna let Chris tell us. So, Chris, first of all, you would you would put this as a unanimous blue, I I take it.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

Oh, absolutely a blue for me. Uh, I just uh I love it. Uh I get a little coffee on the back end at the very end of it all. Um, I just I think it's it's good stuff. Uh as far as the the price goes, we're coming in at 93.99. 93.99. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:56

I uh right around 100, 110, 120 I figured. Yeah, no. Grant's gonna love passing the what would you pay championship belt chain to me just so he can get back at me having to wear it for the rest of the show, which I will wear and I will not complain about like a female, like some people would on this show. Look, I took a lash. I know you did, and that's quite all right. So I will wear the what would you pay championship belt chain presented by Box Drop because I was closest on this one. I went $125, it's $99.99. Oh, yeah. Is that what you stick with? $93.99. $93.99 for this bottle, which is a fantastic buy at that price. Only available at Implicit Bias Liquor Collective member Champines in Abbeville. Fantastic for roses. Stick around. We've got another guest checking in here in the TSPL, and we'll tell you the special at the TSPL South for the rest of August on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Final segment of hour one of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I am your host, Kavan Bordelon. Welcome into the Mr. Lester's Top Secret Podcast. Larry and Caleb, we have to talk about. We have to talk about the special at Mr. Lester Steakhouse. That flight. I mean, it it might be as dumb as the people who actually believe that another 3 a.m. vote drop in Wisconsin was on the up and up.

SPEAKER_06 32:13

Look, it's it's plausible.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

Is it possible? It is possible. What's the probability?

SPEAKER_06 32:21

Slim. Just like just like they sometimes when Chef Willie does these kind of things, he shouldn't drink.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

No, and look, the possibility of getting this special somewhere else, I I mean, so I guess it is possible because Mr. Lester's does make it possible. This is just that dumb, but this is dumb in a good way. So here's the special. If you go to Mr. Lester's in the month of August, ask him for the special flight for the month. It is going to be a three-pour flight, a pour of E.H. Taylor small batch, a pour of E.H. Taylor rye, and a pour of E.H. Taylor single barrel, uncut, unfiltered for a grand total of $25.

SPEAKER_06 33:08

$25, yes. And look, the rye and the single barrel uncut, unfiltered are amazing. Like that uncut, unfiltered, if you haven't had it before, that is what it should be. Oh, yeah, that's one of my all-time favorites.

SPEAKER_02 33:21

At least they're consistent. I mean, the light's ridiculous, but it's it's chum in the water. It it will get you to come nosing around because it's it's so good and so obnoxiously priced. You it's something you cannot refuse.

SPEAKER_04 33:32

Yeah, but when you say obnoxious, you mean like like like old school rap, like not bad, meaning bad, but bad, meaning good, like run DMC. Yeah, okay. Oh, don't tell me you don't remember run DMC. Not bad, meaning bad, but bad, meaning good.

SPEAKER_06 33:44

It's it's enticing, you know. It's it is it's when you it's when you've had a rough day and your wife sends you a text and she goes, Hey, bought lingerie today, might try it on later. You're like, I guess I gotta rub. Show them. Same thing with this.

SPEAKER_02 33:56

It's a flight you want to be on, trust me.

SPEAKER_04 33:58

Speaking, speaking of that vein, we do have a new guest here in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer. He is here to keep us Catholic and keep us Christian. He is Father Taj Glaude. Father, it's good to have you back. First of all, thanks for coming in. It's been a little while since you've been with us on Implicit Bias Radio.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

Yes, it has been.

SPEAKER_04 34:14

We've missed you. Hopefully, you have missed us, and we love the white vestments. Always. Well, thank you. Don't worry, they did not make me Pope. You know, I'm gonna argue if they had made you Pope, Father, things might be going a little bit better because there are some things, and actually, the topic that we're gonna jump into in this segment I know you would not be happy about.

SPEAKER_00 34:33

Oh, flattery will get you everywhere.

SPEAKER_04 34:36

So here's the the the topic, and it's one of the reasons why I waited until you came on to have this conversation, but it also happened within the last week. The state of Massachusetts signed a law that and I don't think I'm mistaken here, I will double check it, but I believe it makes abortion legal up until 40 weeks. For zero. By the way, full gestation for a human being in its mother's womb is 36 weeks. That's considered full term, which means 40 weeks isn't just abortion. 40 weeks is straight up murder. Thoughts.

SPEAKER_06 35:20

I mean, you want do you want me to argue against that?

SPEAKER_04 35:22

I I know I'm curious as to they they first of all, they sign the law.

SPEAKER_06 35:25

Yeah. That's bad enough. Uh not everyone in my family agrees with me. Okay. And that's okay. Yeah, it's I I love my family, love other people. I mean, whether we agree or disagree is irrelevant to the fact that humankind deserves to be loved. And one of the things we don't agree on is abortion. And I was having a discussion with some family members years ago about my stance on abortion and the fact that I don't think it should be legal. And we went round and round talking about it. I was like, well, I don't think taxpayers should pay for abortion, right? That's number one. Yeah. I don't think the taxpayers, if you want to get that done and you believe all this other stuff or whatever, right, yeah, I shouldn't have to foot the bill. How about this is a basic principle?

SPEAKER_04 36:04

I don't get to tell you what to believe. You don't get to tell me what to believe, which means you can't tell me that I have to pay for what you believe.

SPEAKER_06 36:10

Well, and we shouldn't be creating different classes based upon sex. Agreed. If a woman has my body and my choice, then as a man, you should be able to say, I'm not paying for that. Correct. And then guess what? No child support, no this, no that. If you wanted to have it and he didn't, it it's a two-way street. It can't be more biased one way or another. Uh, but some of my family members having this discussion, they were like, Well, what when would you allow it? I'm like, well, maybe whenever there's a rape or whenever there's this or that. They said, Well, now you're making the grievances for when it's okay. It's either okay or it's not. I was like, Well, if it's okay or not, then it's not okay. If you want a definitive line in stone, not in sand and stone, then abortion's not okay. And I disagree with it. Here's what bothered me more than anything about the signing.

SPEAKER_04 36:51

They had a party. Oh, they were excited. I mean, if you watch some of the reactions of the people at this signing. So, first of all, the governor of Massachusetts is Catholic, allegedly. Catholic in name only. So, Father, when you say Catholic in name only, my understanding to be a Catholic is that there are some core things I have to believe. One of them is life begins at conception. Natural birth to natural death. Absolutely. Right? So there's no in between there. You don't get to, you don't get to say, oh, well, it's not viable outside of the mother. Well, so what you're saying that a person needs help to survive, we should be able to kill that person. Then we can do the same with the elderly because they might need help, right? Or we can do the same with a five-year-old because a five-year-old left to themselves is gonna die without a parent, right? Correct. So when you start to walk down those arguments, they just don't hold up to say, oh, this should be my body, my choice. This should be all these other things, or it's not human. This straight up should be natural conception to natural death, correct?

SPEAKER_00 38:04

Correct. And there is no such thing as a cafeteria Catholic. Mark my words. You're either Catholic or you're not. Simple as that.

SPEAKER_06 38:17

The worst thing you can hear is depart from me. I never knew you, right? And if you have no conviction for your faith and you're willing to bow down over these over these major things because it's not public uh politically correct or publicly favorable, then you have no faith.

SPEAKER_04 38:32

Well, and think about the monologue where we talked about the verses from Matthew, right? He who harms a child, he who leads a child to sin. I mean, think about this. That is literally the ending of a life that cannot defend itself. This is why, you know, people say men shouldn't have a conversation. Oh no, men absolutely have a conversation here, because that doesn't need to happen without a man, which is why men have a stake in this, because that that is who we are by God ordained to defend. And therein lies the big issue when you have these people who are literally so ecstatic that they have to hide their mouth in their hands because they're so overjoyed that now the state of Massachusetts says it's legal to terminate the life of a 40-week-old child.

SPEAKER_06 39:29

Well, and just look at it from a non-spiritual point of view, right? If you want to look at abortion and abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood and everything else, for what they really are. Well, let's talk about what they really are. Where do they put them? What neighborhoods have the most abortion clinics?

SPEAKER_00 39:44

Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. And why were they put there? Because that was Margaret Sanger's intention to exterminate black people. And Hispanics fall into that too. And it curbs the welfare system. And she said it in the letter to Clifford.

SPEAKER_04 40:00

Margaret Sanger, yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 40:01

We don't want them to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.

SPEAKER_06 40:05

That's where they focus, that's where they push them, that's where they try to get them. And it is it is a racist organization, and abortion itself is rooted in hatred of other races and individuals and individual people. It's this rotten core. I once heard a pastor talk to me about how a pastor, about how abortion decreases the amount of welfare and it's good for the taxpayer. And I was like, whoa, whoa, hold on. I was like, did say that again. And when he said it, I was like, wow, you don't read the same Bible I read.

SPEAKER_04 40:36

No. And therein lies, I think, the biggest problem. So when Father talks about a cafeteria Catholic, what does he mean for those who might not be Catholic or Christian listening to the show or watching the show, whatever platform? What I think you mean, Father, and correct me if I'm wrong, is this it is, I believe this, but I don't want to believe that. It is the human ability to say, you know what, God gave us these 10 rules. I'm gonna pick which ones are important to God as opposed to God telling me they're all important.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

Exactly. And it's it's not just a Catholic uh perspective, how you can rejoice in the deliberate destruction of a human life and still claim to be a Christian, much less a Catholic, it defies faith and reason. And it goes it goes to a big a bigger question. What is the dignity of a human person? If we believe that God created man in his image after his likeness, that gives us an indelible dignity that cannot be taken away. So if we can deliberately destroy a human life from the womb, what does that say about about what does that say about us as a civilization?

SPEAKER_04 42:03

So there's a long-standing theory that there are certain segments of the population that simply do not value life the way that maybe we do on this show, right? And therein I think lies the real issue, which is if in order for us to live our lives as we see fit, we have to take the life of someone else. Where do we get that hubris from?

SPEAKER_06 42:34

Well, and it's starting to run. No, go ahead. You know, as a gun-toting, God-fearing American, you understand that life is valuable. We're all created in God's image. You never want or desire to take the life of another human being because that life has value, the same value that yours does. So when we talk about defending ourselves against others, we're talking about writing an egregious offense against human kind and God. That's what we talk about. We don't talk about going out and harming someone that is incapable of helping or harming or hurting themselves, right? That's not what we talk about. Because that's not the intent. Preserving life is what we look for. And we talk about preserving life. We're not when we talk about abortions, very rarely is it via a rape or something else. More abortions are done via what I'm gonna call recreational activity than anything else. Oh, yeah. So that's where the vast majority of them come from. Not because of rape or or anything else, it's from that segment and that side. And look, I I've never been in that position. I pray that I never am. And you have to realize what you did to get yourself in that position. When I say what you did, I'm not talking about a rape victim or anything else there. Things happen and life happened, and that child is innocent. And innocence doesn't deserve to be punished. Does not deserve to be punished.

SPEAKER_00 43:53

No, I was just gonna say that if life from the womb, from the moment of Moment of conception means nothing to us than to us life at any any any stage up to natural death means nothing.

SPEAKER_04 44:11

That is a huge, huge bell ringer right there. Because at the end of the day, where do we start to draw the line? Because if someone deems that, you know what, I prefer to have this done, I prefer to have an abortion, if that life means nothing, you know what that means? That means that the life of the mother meant nothing too. Because someone could have done the same to her at some point. It means the life of the father means nothing.

SPEAKER_06 44:40

Because he helped create it. She didn't do it on her own.

unknown 44:44

Right?

SPEAKER_06 44:44

What was it? Was it Napoleon, whenever Napoleon's child was being born? He told the doctor, something like living here. It was a horrible pregnancy. Very difficult. And he said, If if we must choose, I choose my wife because I chose her first.

SPEAKER_04 45:00

We choose to really be upset, I think, is maybe the best word, to be disheartened, to be disappointed about what was signed in Massachusetts. We recognize that that is their right as a state to be able to sign that into law. Doesn't mean we have to like it. What it does mean is that we will have more implicit bias radio. Hour two is always more fun because there's more weekly whiskey. We're gonna lighten up on the topics just a bit. We've got some fun stuff. We might even get into what I guess some people consider a basketball league on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. We are telling dirty jokes on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio during the breaks, which means that if you want to hear them, maybe tune into bonus content because we do have Father Glaude here trying to keep us Catholic and Christian. The jokes are still funny. But during the regular show, we have a lot of topics that you will not find anywhere else. And this is the stuff we can talk about, whether it be on terrestrial radio or OTP app or podcast. So let me welcome you back into the Mr. Lester's Top Secret podcast layer here on Implicit Bias Radio. We have Grant Galodis at the bar of William S. Nacall jewelers. He's known as KB because he is from Canabra. We also have at the bar Father Taj Glaude, who has worn his white vestments, which I love. And I did not know Lafayette, Louisiana is the only archdiocese that is allowed to wear the white vestments.

SPEAKER_00 46:19

Right, because usually it's the Pope that wears the full white cassock with the white buttons, piping and everything. But uh there are some dioceses around the world that have tropical climates that have permission to wear white cassocks. And the diocese of Lafayette has that permission, and we're the only one in the United States that has that permission. Not to say that there are other dioceses that don't wear the white casket, but we're the ones that have that permission. So I think we have bragging rights on that.

SPEAKER_04 46:42

That's actually, I think it's really cool. And by the way, if you wanted to see them, you can find us on YouTube, you can find us on podcasts, Apple, Google, uh, Spotify, find us on Facebook, find our reels. You can subscribe, like, follow, watch, and you can see what Father Taj Glaude looks like in his white cassock. By the way, thank you for cassock. I couldn't come up with the word cassock. I'm thinking investments, it's not investments.

SPEAKER_00 47:01

Although I have to have to say, um I'm I I can't help but laugh when when I get some looks when I'm when I go somewhere out in public in this. I get some looks and I just can't get I just can't help but I say, what's the matter? You've never seen a white priest before.

SPEAKER_04 47:18

That is Father Tosh. Glad we also have Caleb Morse with here with us here this week on the show, as always, our co-host. And I'm your host, Kavon Bordelon. Okay, so back to the whole conversation. And this one can be a little more lighthearted, even though it's still kind of grim. RFK Jr. dropping some bombshells in the last week about a story that, in my opinion, should get way more pub than it is. And it's this. Apparently, he's saying that if you are an organ donor, you should take that off of your driver's license. Now, we are not condoning one way, that's a personal decision. But that ring the bell, Grant, the conspiracy theorists maybe have been right yet again on this, because conspiracy theorists have said forever, and I mean like the sandlot, forever, that if you sign off as an organ donor, and you might be able to be saved, or you might be able to be an organ donor, they might just take that extra little push to make you an organ donor. And apparently it happened in the United States already.

SPEAKER_02 48:27

Yeah, it's I mean, it's a beautiful system that's perfectly corruptible. When you have people I mean, when you have people uh who are head of hospital administration and they have big money that that donate to the hospitals, uh, and they say, okay, what do we need this week? Uh it's a perfectly closed, controlled environment. And if they're in need of certain organs and somebody if somebody's on the fence and they could go either way, I mean, how do you know you're getting the absolute best guy, doctor, standing on the table, pounding on your chest, trying to bring you back as opposed to, yeah, I don't think he's gonna make it. Uh we're in need of a good liver. Let's sign off on this one. Doctor, doctor. That's scary.

SPEAKER_04 49:01

It's frightening too. I can hear this. I can hear this. Doctor, the pulse is at three beats per minute. Uh, that's just no pulse. Just go ahead and write it off. I mean, that that that's essentially what you're talking about, right?

SPEAKER_02 49:13

It's very frightening. Because you, you're, I mean, you're in the most vulnerable position you're you're uh. Well, except for the story you sent, because obviously this guy popped out of anesthesia.

SPEAKER_06 49:21

Well, he was still vulnerable because like they they had said that he was dead, right? And they went through the process. And when you when you look at it, how much of a chance if if your wife was lying on the table and they said there's a 10% chance she'll make it through the surgery? 10%. Like I'm gonna tell you right now, I'll take those chances. Oh, absolutely. Like we're gonna roll those dice. 10%'s enough.

SPEAKER_04 49:40

We're gonna go full Star Wars Han Solo, which is never tell me the odds, kid.

SPEAKER_06 49:44

Yeah. I mean, if there's a half a percent chance, well, you're telling me there's a chance. So let's go with it. And in these instances, they might look at it and they have looked at it as the thing, and they say, look, yeah, we can do a $40,000 surgery and collect it later on. There's a 35% chance they'll make it. But if we go ahead and harvest the organs, if they don't make it, then we're gonna profit $85,000 and just roll with it. Who's the doctor? Anthony Fauci?

SPEAKER_04 50:12

I I was assuming it was Dr. Joe Biden. Oh, I'm sorry, not the same type of doctor there. Anyway, no, I but I think what what's really scary here is what Grant said. It is so easily corruptible. You have to look at where the incentives lie. And this is the this is the problem with human behavior. We are an incentivized species. We do what can give us the most reward. We behave in a manner in order to receive the most reward possible. So, Caleb, I know you're a hunter. I hunt. Anyone who hunts knows this. And this is why maybe hunters have a really good father claw and likes to hunt. You've got a really good understanding of this. A deer in the wild is not going to create a new trail where one already exists. Why? Because it is the least amount of effort for the most amount of reward. So think about the organ donation system, and not that people shouldn't donate their organs, but the way it's currently set up could be a major problem because literally what you now have is somebody sitting in an administrative position who says, hmm, we stand to make, or we have a wealthy donor who needs a match, and this person is, and they are willing to, on the back end under the table, maybe slide a quarter of a million dollars or a hundred thousand or a hundred and fifty if we somehow happen to come up with a heart for their child. Oh, we just happen to have a match. Only problem is it's full Monty Python. Well, he's not dead. He's not dead yet. I mean, I'm nearly dead, right? I'm not dead yet. I mean, that's the scary part of this. The scary part of this is bad behavior is incentivized in this scenario.

SPEAKER_06 52:03

Well, and look at it this way, right? When we look at uh medical science, we'll say that your brain is dead. There's no more neurological function. The body's alive, but no one's there. Uh, Father Taj, how long was Lazarus dead before his friend Christ called him back? Days. Four days. So four days. Whenever you and I'm not trying to dissuade people for persuade people to not donate their organs, but if you were donating your organs, they would have harvested those by then, right? So in Lazarus' case, whenever Jesus called out to him and had him come back, would the organs go back in the body? Would they create new ones inside of them? Would there just be duplicates? You have to look at all these things. I'm not trying to scare somebody into giving their organs in case of the rapture. I'm just trying to say that death isn't what people say it is. And as a Christian, you shouldn't be afraid of death. I don't think anyone in this room is really afraid to die because we know where we're gonna go.

SPEAKER_04 53:00

I am not afraid of death. How I go might be a totally different story. But uh passing into the next world, nah, let's whenever it's time, it's time, father.

SPEAKER_00 53:09

Memento mori. Latin is often mistranslated as remember your death, but remember to die. But neither here nor there. Well, the flip side has memento vive, remember to live. Because we do die. Because you will die. But it goes it goes back to the question that I raised with with abortion. Where do we draw the line when it comes to the dignity of the human person? And even I would go so go so far as to say where do we draw the line in respect for the human body? I think that's the big point. I mean, we have funeral homes where bodies are left to decompose and their families already in grief are have are having having their grief doubled or even tripled because of the fact that that their their loved ones never really received the right the rights, the rights of the church. So it goes goes back to the fact if if we can't respect the body from from the womb, then how can can can we expect anyone to respect the human body at any at any stage of life, even in death?

SPEAKER_06 54:25

Well, and we're created in God's image, right? So from the moment of conception, God's image is there. When we pass, our soul, our spirit is how we continue. But the body is still an imager of God and must be respected.

SPEAKER_00 54:39

And I'm gonna say this, and this is just my personal opinion. This is not the church talking, this is Father Glord talking, or Father Glord ranting. I've never been a fan of cremation. For a long time the church didn't allow it. But then it was allowed. And now it's to the point where people want to cremate themselves or want to cremate their loved ones just for the sake of doing it and scatter their ashes. But the right of the Catholic Church says that if you cre if you create if you are cremated, your ashes, or cremates, as they put them, must be buried in the same way you bury a body. The body is made in God's image and likeness. And so we treat the body with the utmost respect and res out of respect for that dignity.

SPEAKER_04 55:34

And we should, and I think that is what brings this whole topic of what RFK brought to the table full circle. And it's this it is We are being farmed for lack of a better term. We are not being treated with the dignity of a human being, we are being treated with basically the same dignity that people are looking at cattle and sheep, just a product, right? We are viewed as a monetary asset. And look, some assets are better than others, but that is not the point here. We are viewed as, oh, this person will generate this amount in taxes, this person will generate this amount of productivity. That is what this person, and look, that is from the government to corporations across the board. And this is why when we incentivize bad behavior for doctors, when we incentivize the dehumanization of a person, now you're just spare parts. And again, I'm not trying to tell someone you shouldn't donate your organs. That is a personal decision that is up to you. But what I do know is that if they've uncovered one case, they've missed hundreds of thousands of cases where this has happened. Because if you look up how many people die in this country every day, that number gets really big really quick.

SPEAKER_00 56:57

And I commend RFK Jr. for bringing this particular particular story to the fore and bring bringing the issue to the fore. But what's the worst part about this is that yeah, we're being farmed, we're being treated, humanity is being treated as a means to one man's end. But what's worse is that people have been silent about it. Nobody said anything up until now.

SPEAKER_04 57:24

What's who's worse, father? Is the doctor worse for saying, oh, we're just gonna harvest this? Or are the seven other people who are in the operating room who ignore the fact that someone might still be alive while this happens and just go, yeah, we're just we're going with it because we were following orders?

SPEAKER_00 57:43

I will say that's even worse. Why that makes you makes them complicit and and that makes makes them them complicit in murder.

SPEAKER_04 57:52

See, I would almost argue though that Matthew outlines morally that it is the doctor who is leading them there, who is you just follow my orders because you have to, and telling them to do it because he is now corrupting those who might not otherwise be corrupted. That's and that's just you know a Kavanaugh opinion.

SPEAKER_00 58:11

No, because God himself said if your brother brother is is is living in sin and you don't warn him, don't admonish him, he will die in the sin, but I will hold you accountable responsible for his death.

SPEAKER_04 58:26

Yep. So look, it it's I certainly see a scenario where people are telling doctors we shouldn't do this, doctors know we're doing it. And I mean, that's a moral conundrum that people have more than likely been put in. I mean, we're talking about a lot of hypothetical here, but unfortunately, with someone waking up on the table, somebody had to know that this patient was not dead.

SPEAKER_06 58:49

Well, and there's they were saying that as they were wheeling him away, his eyes were darting back and forth. He was crying, he was active, although he wasn't verbal, but he was responsive.

SPEAKER_04 58:58

Well, he was probably intubated. I mean, it's really difficult to be verbal with a tube stuck down your throat, right? Just a sad story, one of those things where I'm like, okay, we got to have more fun on this show, so we're gonna talk about something fun now.

SPEAKER_06 59:10

TJ Hooker, I think, or Hoover, maybe?

SPEAKER_04 59:12

Something of that nature, yeah. I mean, I don't want to say the name doesn't necessarily matter, but I mean, at this point, it's it's the principle that is the real problem. Speaking of the principle, we have something coming up on September 17th. It does not involve a principle. It, however, might involve something educational and a fantastic night at a member of the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective. Ambassador Wine and Spirits is hosting an implicit bias night with Heaven Hill at Ambassador Wine and Spirits After Dark. And this is going to be the offering that will be available at Ambassador Wine and Spirits that night. Yes, tickets are now on sale if you want to go buy them. And I'm going to outline the tickets in a second. This is the offering. It starts with an old fit seven-year. Ooh. A Larceny barrel pick from Ambassador Wine and Spirits. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:05

All right.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:05

An Elijah Craig Sportsman's Paradise cask strength offering. Cast strength? Yes. A Heaven Hill grain to glass weeded, a Henry McKenna tenure single barrel, and a Widow Jane Lucky 13. That is what the tasting will be that night. There will be representatives from Heaven Hill there, as well as members of the crew of Implicit Bias Radio. So you want to come talk to us, have a whiskey, solve the problems of the world. This is the night to do it. There aren't that many tickets available. There's only going to be like 50. And here's the crazy part: tickets are 30 bucks, just normal tickets. There's a VIP ticket. The VIP ticket is going to be 50. And that ticket will include a bottle yet to be named when you leave the store automatically.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:49

So $20 more, and you get a bottle. Correct. You can't really buy whiskey for $20. Barely. Barely. Father's tried. They won't even give it to a preferred $20.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:00

Barely or barely? I said barely. Oh. Too bad my parents can't. Too bad my parents can't accept that kind of offering.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:10

But yeah, gonna be a fantastic night at Ambassador Wine and Spirits. We're gonna talk. There might even be a cigar element. Oh my God, it makes me think of that stupid. Oh, so you tell me I get these fantastic fries if I just get the vaccine. And then the no, there's gonna be potentially a cigar element. We're gonna have tons of fun. It'll be a great night on Ambassador Wine and Spirits after dark September 17th. Don't miss it. Go by, get your tickets. Tickets only available at Ambassador Wine and Spirits. It'll be tons of fun with Implicit Bias Radio. We'll be right back getting into some of the stupid stuff that we like to do, as if we're not stupid already, on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. More fun than we should be allowed to have in front of microphones. Why? Because there's weekly whiskey involved on Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. We've got Caleb Morse, Father Taj Glaude, Grant Colotis, William S. Nacole Jewers here in the Mr. Lester's TSPL. By the way, if you missed the end of last segment, don't forget, go get your tickets at Ambassador Wine and Spirits for September 17th, Heaven Hill Night with Implicit Bias Radio. You can solve the problems of the world with the crew with Heaven Hill products as well. So gonna be tons of fun. All right, this story comes from my hometown. I love doing stories that make national headlines. Unfortunately, it's almost never for a good reason from New Orleans. But this one, it's like, gee, there's a terrible idea. Where did it come from? Shocker. Someone in political leadership in a big city said, Oh, this will be a good idea. Let's see how this works out. And you know what? Now we have AI agents answering 911 calls in New Orleans.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:44

Look, you know, if you haven't dialed 911 in the past couple years, it's probably an improvement to have AI on there. Trying to talk to some of the operators they have now, like good luck spelling Hickory Street to them. Like, imagine Or Choppatoolis. Yeah, well, you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:59

I mean, but here's the bigger problem I have, Caleb. Have you tried dialing a company that has AI? I mean, seriously, welcome to 911. Help somebody been shot. If you'd like English, please press one. If you'd like Spanish, please press two.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:13

If you would like, I mean, dear lord. And that's that's how 911 is already. And the problem we have is 911 call centers are trying to make themselves more viable. Look at the parish you live in. If you try to call St. Martin Sheriff Department, Lafayette Sheriff Department, St. Landry Sheriff Department, if you try to call these sheriff departments for an emergency, no, call 911. Why? Because taxpayer dollars are calculated via the 911 call system. If you think I'm lying, go look for some. The sad part is I don't and I didn't think about that. They're trying to justify their expenditures in these call sitters. And that they're having difficulty putting worthwhile candidates in there because the average human being is dumb as a box of rocks.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:57

Hey, look, George Carlin, think about how dumb the average American is and realize that half of us are dumber than that.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:03

Grant. You have to read this article. Go find this article. I read it. Please. No, I'm just I'm talking about the listen to the case.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:09

Oh, yes, please don't believe us. Go read this.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:11

It's in the New York Post. It's so funny. It's not just New Orleans. This this would pretty much apply to any area like this, but New Orleans is notoriously high crime. They said there was uh one of the busiest call centers in the nation at like a averaging a thousand calls per day. And one of the one of the sentences that got me in this article is it said, one of the biggest problems being encountered is that when people call 911 for assistance, they're not exactly calm. So AI can solve it, not a person. So AI is gonna be dealing a lot with Mo Fricka stab me. Mo Frika stab me. And AI is gonna say, someone named Mo. Stab the hell out of someone. Let's put out an APP on Mo Fricka. Mo Bonjoffrey F R I C K A. Mo Frick A stab. Okay, look.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:02

Grant, you ring the bell because this is a classic Grant Galatis moment. Grant has pulled something out here. Do you know the vocabulary they are gonna have to teach AI exactly to take 911 calls in any major city, including New Orleans?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:15

Any major city, because I mean it it's gonna have to be extensive. There's gonna have to be an instant.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:19

Well, the amount, the amount of sheer cursing that it's gonna have to deal with.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:25

And that was that was the point. They said usually when people call, they're they're not gonna pick up the phone and say, uh, yes, um, think about that just stabbed me in the eye with an ice pick.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:35

Think about the word that you use that starts with an F. That can be a noun, that can be a verb, that can be an adjective, it can be an adverb, it can be a pronoun. I mean, you start going through all this. I mean, uh that that fricker, that stupid frick, will I? It sounds right when you say I got fricked by. I mean, it's like, what is going on here? You mean to tell me AI is gonna be able to figure out the context of the word?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:59

Well, and the guy.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

That's what happens in NOAA. So But look, they they said uh since 2024, Seattle has implemented this program. So Seattle's go back over the article. So wait a minute. So whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But look, but Seattle, yeah, but Seattle didn't report anything on it. So there's what we want to emulate.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:21

We want to emulate Seattle because Seattle is a great bastion of law and order in the United States. I mean, don't they still have the chop that square offs?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:27

Maybe 60, 60% calls to start. We should go there. You scream instead of uh sugar in my stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:33

I was about to say, up there, yes, they get 911 calls of they wouldn't make my chai from Frigno Lopa Chappe, whatever the hell you call it. My pronouns.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:44

It's a good case study, though. I mean, did in a in a lesser crime area to try it out just to see how they've done. But they said Seattle reported nothing about it. They didn't tell uh local media, they didn't tell anybody that they were doing it.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:56

But here's the deal.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:57

Interesting though.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:57

So if they reported nothing after implementation, it tells you everything you need to know. Because if they had good things to report after implementation, they'd have been like, hey, look what we did, look what this system did. We are now solving all these problems. Instead, they're like, Yeah, we didn't do anything. Um I mean, it's it's that whole guy who gets pulled over by the cops and he looks at him and he's like, Is there a reason why you pulled me over, officer? And his hands are shaking, he's sweating bullets. He, you know, he's got two teeth and he's got all the meth welts all over his face. And in the and the cop's like, Oh, the plantation in. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:28

The cop's like, gee, I wonder if you are running drugs or something, right? You know, 14 hours on the job, and it's like, you know what? Where to it Googles it on its own, where to find crack cocaine? Under bites.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:39

Sorry. And there's therein lies the crazy part about all this, which is you start throwing all this data in the AI. How long is it gonna take Skynet to go? Uh, you know what we need to do at New Orleans? We just need to delete. That's what we just need to reset the whole city. The good, the bad, the ugly, it all needs to go because all the 911 calls are horrific, and that's the scary part. Father.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:06

Only have this to say because well, it pretty much speaks for itself, but this whole thing proves a long-standing principle. Whether people, you have idiots.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:17

Well, we're a messy species. We just are.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:20

911, what are your pronouns? Yeah, and this in creates the issue. I mean, can you imagine the argument of someone going through a medical emergency who wants to have a discussion seriously about what they're called, as opposed to what's wrong? What what are what are you feeling like? Well, I feel like I identify this way. No, no, no, no, that's not what I mean. It's not what I mean. What I mean is, how does your chest feel? My chest feels like it should have these growths on it, but it doesn't no, that's not the point, right? I mean, this this is where we are, and which is why we've got to get back to the value of human life and the value of the way that we are designed by God from the beginning. Because without it, man, we just end up in a really big mess.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:03

Speaking of designed by God, like imagine if you get to the Pearlie Gates and you're like, oh, St. Peter, here's my chance. And like, no, welcome. I am Gemini. Like, that's what we're trying to do here. We're giving it all to someone else. We don't want to take responsibility. So, what are we doing? We're giving a machine the ability to be responsible because we don't want that ability. And what that role.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:23

Here's the worst part, and I've got to give this disclaimer for our New Orleans listeners and viewers. I love the city of New Orleans. New Orleans is amazing. I don't want to see another dumb idea that is easily predictable as a dumb idea continue to ruin the city even farther.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:40

Look, if you've had if you had a dial 911, if you're in NOLA and you've dialed 911 and had a good or bad experience with AI, email us. Oh, find us on Facebook messages. We'd love to hear. Like, let us know how it went.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:52

Tell me I'm wrong. Please. New Orleans is the perfect proving uh testing ground for this because look, Kavon, growing up, we we've had a lot of incidents where we're we're nationally considered a perfect place for this because of poor decisions in the past.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:06

Well, New Orleans okay, Tom. Look, this is something that's always bothered me, and we're gonna go down this rabbit hole. It's a it's a shift of topic just a bit. The whole Vegas is Sin City thing. Vegas, sorry. No, no, you weren't even a twinkle in a mobster's eye when New Orleans was making horrific decisions at four o'clock in the morning. You just weren't, right? New Orleans is the original, I hate to say Sin City, it's the original city of bad decisions. It's the original city that care forgot. It is the original big easy for a reason. New Orleans has the culture that it's just it's so unique in this entire country. It is so much more European, it is on a different timeline. It just is. And for those who don't understand that, I'm sorry, but you gotta go there. You gotta see it through a local's eyes, let them show you. And when they do, you will fall in love with the city. Here's the big thing: don't be the moron who says, Oh, it'd be so much better if I brought this to the city. You're not that smart, you're not that much of a genius. Your culture is not special. You, if you want to come to New Orleans, go to New Orleans, become a true New Orleanian, follow New Orleans, and learn to lead by following, which we will do on the penultimate segment, second to last segment of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio when we return. The penultimate segment of Implicit Bias Radio, that means the second to last segment or the Sam Stokes segment, rest in peace. He's not really dead, he's just dead to us because he left the show. I'm your host, Gavon Borderland. We have at the bar Father Taj Glaude, Grant Calatis of William S. Nay called Jewelers, the Rust to Grenegade himself, Caleb Morse. And we have so many topics to try and fit into the last two segments of the show. I'm gonna start with this one very quickly. We're gonna transition, not that way, to a different topic in this segment as well. I want to start here. Somebody cue up Britney Spears. Oops, I did it again. Because apparently, one more sorry. No, no, no, we're not talking about your marital life killing. Anyway, thanks a lot. I like it a little rough. The oops, I did it again is so there was another Democratic gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin. And anybody know what happened in that gubernatorial primary right before this show? Anybody? She's Austin. Oh, so you had stupid and crazy, right? And Crazy was winning. And then all of a sudden, what happened in Milwaukee? Do you know the details of how Hong got hung? Fill me in. Here's how it happened. So at a 10, 10:30 is when I first saw the reporting. Doesn't mean that's exactly when it happened, but I think it was around that time last night. Milwaukee all of a sudden reports that five thumb drives with their votes on it have quote technology errors and they no longer have the votes recorded on the five thumb drives out of Milwaukee. You know, I bought some of those.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:03

They were discounted at Walgreens.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:06

So wait a minute. You're telling me this happens again? Because I mean, look, my father used to have a saying. He'd say, Son, if it happens once, shame on you. If it happens twice, shame on me. It better not happen a third time. How many times do we have to see one candidate winning? And always the most beneficial candidate for the Democrats, somehow over the middle of the night, over or a couple of days after the election, finds the votes to win. How many times does it have to happen before pattern recognition kicks in?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:47

It's just more than 50% of the memory sticks had the wrong information. So they had to make, I mean, find the right information.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:58

I cannot believe that P. T. Barnum is as relevant today as he was when he said there's a sucker born every minute. And this is the problem. There are suckers out there who believe this whole thing was on the up and up. Look, it's Democrats fighting Democrats. And I'll tell you why I care. I care for this reason. Because if the crazy wins as opposed to the stupid, the Republican gubernatorial seat is basically guaranteed in Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:27

And look, like I said, five out of nine memory sticks had the wrong information put on. That is 60%. That is more than I mean, right? Yeah, yeah. And here's the thing they're saying it was human error. Guess what? Shocker. All nine of these memory sticks came from a different spot. So either five people all made the exact same mistake because they were instructed to, or they were on the take.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:54

What's the what's the probability that five people carrying or dealing with memory sticks all make the same mistake as opposed to the possibility that five people were told or went, um, you know what we should do? We should make sure that we figure out how many votes we need before we turn in all the votes. Imagine. Sound familiar when you know where it's because you make the target, it's easy to hit. That's that therein lies the problem, right? All the only reason we put this out there, thank you. The only reason we put this out there is because we actually care about people's votes. And look, we may not agree with Democrats on a lot of things, but your vote matters. And if your vote is being misconstrued, if your vote is being hijacked by a corrupt organization, by a racketeering influence corrupt organization that launders money in order to maintain power, which is the definition of a RICO case. We care for you. We absolutely care for you. We want that RICO organization out so we can get real people running the show.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:59

There are never any negative ramifications for voter fraud. I was saying that loud, so Matt could uh uh just like the just like the organ harvesting, it's a perfectly corruptible system. Oh, I thought you were talking about autopen. No, no, no. That as well. Look, there's never any negative ramifications. You never hear any of these cases being prosecuted. Uh uh the 2020 election, like you coughed out a few minutes ago. There was never anything that came of that. And so they're going, they're gonna continue it. But we did have an arrest the day we recorded this show.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:29

Stop it. And it has to do with the Southern Poverty Law Center. The former CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center was arrested on fraud charges for Grant Galatis. Ring the bell, someone was arrested. It's not the person you want. We finally, but we finally did get one. Too far down on the food chain. That's where they start on Rico cases. They start down the food chain and then work their way up. You hold on to that. Hey, all I'm saying is we have one arrest. I am being factual. If you want to be unhappy about somebody being arrested, you can go sit in the quarter and be Grant Grumpy Pants, which will be your new name.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:00

Every once in a while, you gotta enjoy catching a minnow. You'd much rather catch the big six-pound bass, but if if you put a little perch in the boat, yeah, and then if you can use the perch for bait, that's when it gets fun.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:10

Speaking of bait, there's bait out there right now in the world of firearms. The bait has been laid out by the Department of Justice. And look, we are hours away from this. What time is it as we record this on Wednesday, the 12th?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:25

20 2006.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:26

Okay, so there's four hours left. There's four hours left for the Department of Justice.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:31

No, well, they're they're past their chance to to file. If they were to file now, the injunction in the state wouldn't happen in time.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:37

Uh, I but I think it has to do with when the filing is sent in at the last moment, because we talked about the NFA, National Firearms Act, last week and the Fifth Circuit ruling that so many provisions in the National Firearms Act were unconstitutional. And now, Caleb, you have a gun shop nationally saying we are putting the DOJ and the FBI on notice that we are going to start selling other for firearms, things like suppressors of this nature, without the stamp, the tax, the whole nine yards.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:11

Yeah. So right now, if you go to buy a suppressor, we'll just stick with suppressors, okay? Because the GCA, um, the Gun Control Act, that is separate. So we'll stick with just suppressors right now. Okay. Um, Brandon Herrera, who's running for representative in Texas, and silencer shop is going to open just for him to transfer a silencer to him and one other representative uh via 4473. No registration tomorrow or 1201.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:37

1201 a.m. Thursday morning, the 13th of August.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:40

That's right now, the ATF has until midnight to challenge this. They have not. They have issued no direction, no white paper to shops on how to handle this. And look, there's a lot of stipulations on on what the Fifth Circuit said. So the NRA is part of it, the GOA, the Gunnar's America is a part of it, uh, Sonsor Shop Foundation, Sonsor Shop Customers, Sonsor Co-Customers, BT and a few others, and trickle-down customers are a part of that, or the only ones excluded from registration right now. I was hoping the ATF would challenge it. That way it could go higher, and it would be all across the board. So not every shop is part of this. And look, Louisiana did not join in on this legislation. So the state of Louisiana is not covered, but dealers in Louisiana that meet specific criteria technically are. Well, so here's a question.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:30

Because now you're talking about state law versus federal law. Federal law currently regulates suppressors nationwide. So the fact that this was ruled on in a federal court would mean that the state, and this is my thought, I'm I'm asking, would it mean that the state of Louisiana boundaries don't matter? What matters is the legal ruling from the national court.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:52

To a degree, Louisiana, Louisiana state law says that they must follow federal law and federal registration. So in Louisiana, the attorney general and the NFA branch is the one who authorizes it. Without them being authorized or without them having to go through the legal process, technically, you could specific people can do a 4473, a background check, and walk out with a suppressor.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:13

Gonna be interesting to see who does what with that, what that looks like. We will probably continue this conversation. We might do some bonus content because we got a ton to go through and it's it's complex. Grant has a question. We might do that during bonus content. We've only got one more segment of Implicit Bias Radio this week, and there's a lot to do. So don't go away. Mr. Miyagi might have been the evil mastermind. We're just saying on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Gavon Bordel. And as we wrap up hour two of this week's show in the Mr. Lester's Top Secret Podcast layer, we've got the Rustic Renegade, our co-host Caleb Morse, at the bar, Grant Galottis of William S. Nake Hall Jewelers, otherwise known as K and B or Big Abetta Diamonds for less. And Father Taj Glaude, it's always a pleasure to have someone here trying to keep us Catholic and Christian, because with our sense of humor, we definitely need it. Okay. So I'd never thought about this, and then I saw this theory and I went, man, I guess, I guess I might have been wrong. So for Gen Xers, Grant, you and I are probably the ones in the TSPL who remember this the best. Father Taj and Caleb were both a little bit younger. The production crew is way younger for when this movie came out. Show off. I'm just old. But I remember the karate kid in movie theaters, as you do, Grant, right? One of the greatest scenes in movies for me, just the one of the greatest shots in movies is at the end when Daniel Son wins the tournament, and Mr. Miyagi doesn't run up. He stands in the back and he just smiles and nods. And I was thinking, man, it's so cool. He's that proud teacher, father figure. And then I see the theory and I'm like, holy crap. He's freaking Dr. Evil standing in the back. And I'm like, what is going on here? So, Grant, did you watch the video of the theory that Daniel and Mr. Miyagi are actually the bad guys in Karate Kid?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:58

Yeah, I didn't know how to take that. It just it came off as very Orwellian to me. So I did somebody trying to rewrite history. I mean, because no, no, conceptually, this kid moves to town. He's he's he's from a a little bit poor socio and economic uh existence, and he goes into this neighborhood where there's a bunch of kids and they're a little bit more privileged. And it's it's a very simple story, but the way they carved it out in that video was it was actually make you think about it.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:25

But here's my here's where chopped up. Here's where I looked at it and went, holy smokes, they're right. So, first of all, multiple times, multiple times, Johnny tries not to fight Daniel. Multiple times.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:40

He said he was an ex-degenerate now that he's a senior. Correct. And he was getting his life back on trying. He's trying to get his life back on track.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:47

Daniel attacks him more than once at the bonfire, and instead of him striking Daniel, he uses Daniel's own momentum to let Daniel fall on his face. When Daniel then sucker punches him, and at that point, if somebody sucker punched you after you land, let them run themselves into lockers a couple times, you're gonna hit him back? You're gonna beat the snot out of him? Probably. Don't disagree that Johnny might have been going about things the wrong way with regards to the ex. Not at all. But at the end of the day, think about what Daniel did once Miyagi negotiated that no one would pick on him until the tournament. Did he stay to himself? No, he provoked. He went to them and provoked them. The whole reason that Miyagi got involved was because Daniel was in the bathroom, realizes that Johnny's in the other one. Does he just leave, which he could have done? No, he instigates. Daniel's an instigator. Daniel is the typical WWE bad guy who, when the ref isn't looking, he's pretending to be the victim. Does something to somebody else and then says, I'm the victim. You are absolutely right. Like, I'm and look, I would not have been convinced of this when I saw the video. I was like, holy crap. Still not. I mean, I felt like Tommy boy.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:07

Holy snakes! So the first time they beat the snot out of him when they're all dressed like skeletons, if I'm remembering.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:12

That's not the first time they beat the snot out of him.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:14

Oh, so there was more than one time that six or seven guys beat up for one kid.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:18

The first time he got beat up was just Johnny. And it was because Johnny had let Daniel attack him more than once. Then Daniel sucker punched him after Johnny had stopped engaging in the fight. And the and then when he got beat up was when Daniel was at the Halloween dance.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:36

Daniel sprayed him with a hose. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:38

And Johnny was like, you know what? And every day every time he's outnumbered seven or eight to one. So so he's still considered the instigator uh when he's fighting a mob. Yeah, you can start a very uh karate-trained mob. So here's so here's the thing. The whole time, psychologically, he had the upper hand on these kids.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:55

Just stop it.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:56

Is it matter? Is that loud enough?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:58

Psychologically, that's good. Psychologically, he was playing the game of playing the victim. And he was very good at playing the victim. Horse pucky. And then with an illegal kick, is how he wins the tournament.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:09

Yep. That was beautiful.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:11

Grant. Grant does beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:13

That's beautiful. Father Glauck wants to chime in on this one. This brings up. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:18

Take my side.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:22

This brings up something that's important to understand. Because the world has all but obliterated the difference between violence and aggression. Because what is aggression? Ring the bell, fathers all on this one. Aggression, y'all tell me if y'all would agree with me on this. Aggression would be deliberately going out of your way with no provocation whatsoever to harm someone simply for the sake of harming them. Instigation. Okay. Instigation, yes. And even the Bible affirms that several times that not only are there times when violence can be used, but there are times when violence must be used to stop aggression. The Lord your God is a man of war.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:04

See Grant? Daniel? Daniel was instigating when he didn't need to be, which means he was the aggressor. So look, let's put this in legal terms. Let's put this in legal terms. Caleb. Yes. Someone is carrying a concealed weapon standing in a restaurant. Someone walks in with a knife in their hand and begins to point it at someone right in front of them as if they might stab them. That shows intent. They don't ever get there. They don't, but the person takes out a weapon and stops someone else from potentially getting stabbed?

SPEAKER_06 1:26:35

Who's the aggressor? Well, criminally, they would be found justified because the person who made the threats was the aggressor and initiated the entire situation.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:44

Grant, how about this one? You remember Will Smith getting killed in New Orleans? Remember Will Smith gets into a car accident, guy gets out of the car with a pistol?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:53

Yes, I remember that. No, you said Will Smith, and I'm thinking Fresh Prince.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:56

No, no, Will Smith, this is New Orleans Saints defensive end.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:59

Oh, okay. Right? Okay. Near his house. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:03

Gets into a wreck. Guy gets out of his car with a gun in his hand. Automatically, regardless of whether Will Smith was yelling at him, saying anything, who's the aggressor? The person who took the first action, not the person who said something.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:19

Yep. The person who mechanically, and that firearm is mechanically, initiated the conflict.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:24

There's the point. And look, I'm like you. I've always looked at the karate kid and been like, man, Daniel Sun is awesome. Daniel Sun is so cool. Until the veil is pulled back, and I can't see it any different now.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:36

Go ahead. So Daniel Sun pulled out the first gun, is what you're saying. Yes. And I guarantee you, Mr. Miyagi was nowhere in New Orleans to be found on that scene. I guarantee it. Mr. Miyagi. Look, it did this just told me that you can you can take a situation and cut it up however you want to in order to try and dissuade someone from their actual opinion.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:57

Well, there are three sides to every story. Your side, their side, and the truth, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:28:02

No one ever admits. I've seen you laughing throughout this whole story. You can't tell me that this is not this doesn't humorous. It doesn't have a very Orwellian twinge to it. The way you try and take a very simple story with a good premise where the kid's outnumbered, he's from an impoverished situation, and he actually is victorious over these people who were tormenting him.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:20

But I think it also shows that no one is innocent.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:22

And therein lies the big thing. Daniel's not innocent in this whole situation. Which is the worst part. Because Grant, we all try Star Wars, take Star Wars. If you look at Star Wars, the entire premise from the side of Law and Order. Wait, that's two different shows, right? Two very different movies.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:42

Okay, rewrite Star Wars and Law and Order. What was incorrect about Star Wars?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:46

Law and Order is being established.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:47

I mean, that was a pretty clear line between Darth Vader and Darth Vader, bad, Luke Skywalker.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:51

So hold on. First off in Star Wars, it's really hard to get beamed up, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:54

Yes, that's Star Trek. So think about it this way: Law and Order is about to be established in the galaxy because there had been years of war prior to this, and all of a sudden you have a band of terrorists who start popping up and destroying things where they should. That's that's it's all in the perspective, is the point. And the big point here is that I just got given the finger. That's the one-minute finger, not that finger. Good, it saves me the trouble.
