Maduro Captured, West Texas Reacts | EP.126

A power shift in Venezuela sends shockwaves through our circle, from friends planning long-delayed family trips to oilfield crews weighing what comes next. We wrestle with AI’s role in trust, alleged fraud closer to home, local creators we love, and the thin line between strategy and luck in football and life.

• reactions from Venezuelan friends in the oil patch
• context on Maduro’s indictments and the drug trade
• questions on China’s outreach and regional security
• hopes for minimal civilian harm and institutional rebuilds
• life under scarcity and why logistics define governance
• U.S. healthcare strengths and limits without cheerleading
• alleged Minnesota fraud, audits, and fair accountability
• AI deepfakes, provenance, and media skepticism
• local food spots, creators, and community support
• hometown pride for a draft-bound wide receiver
• fantasy football heartbreak and the role of luck

Uh so give those guys a call at 432-307-1960. Hey, what's up, everybody? Patch Boys, back again for another episode. Uh, it's a it's another early morning episode we're getting into. Um, and man, it's uh it it this morning we right away started, you know, talking about um uh what happened this morning, right? So it's January 3rd, Saturday, January 3rd. Woke up this morning to big news, Donald Trump on True Social announcing that um essentially they took down Maduro, man. Um Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. It is fucking crazy, man. Um me and Ricky were just talking about it, and I've already heard from multiple uh Venezuelan uh friends, acquaintances, you know what I'm saying? Um I call them friends now, right? They I know them pretty well. And right now, the resounding um at least on this side, at least on this side of the coin, which is the guys that I'm working around and everything in the oil business, they are ecstatic. They're they're ecstatic. I think they've been waiting for this this ball to drop and for Maduro to get excuse me, Maduro to get captured. Um it's crazy, man. It's crazy. I see nothing but happiness on the people that I've talked to. Um they're they're very happy, and some of them are like, man, I'm looking at fucking plane tickets, and like it's it's fucking crazy, man. It's crazy that they had to wait for this to happen to feel like they could uh see their man, I'm getting more more stuff from from people. Uh it's crazy that this had to happen for for people to feel like man they could finally see their families. Imagine they they they felt like they couldn't go back um because of the regime that was there, uh, and and see their families, and they had to be over here. I don't know, people with everything that's been going on with immigration, people are afraid. I think this hopefully is gonna lessen some of that fear for the Venezuelan people. Um and and I'm happy for them. Honestly, I know there's gonna be um the other side of the coin that is gonna, you know, gonna give very gonna have very bad rhetoric uh for what's happening. Um we don't know. I haven't seen at least yet, I haven't seen casualties, I haven't seen any of that. The news right now is just and I think at 11, at 11 the press con uh Trump will be doing the press conference in Mar a Lago, but yeah, I thought was wild too.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Like I woke up and uh, you know, Aiden went uh hunting last night. Yeah so I was looking at the photos. He kind of like killed like a goat or something, and uh so I was looking at that and then and then I go, I stroll up and I saw that my girl was like handcuffed and I'm like, is this AI?

SPEAKER_01 4:11

That one was AI, I believe. I believe I I don't think that was the real picture.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

That's what I'm like, I'm like, what's going on here? Like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Like yeah, but uh it was weird.

SPEAKER_00 4:20

And then I start looking and I see that uh you know that the what they they captured him though, and I was like, dang, bro, like you know, and then I saw like there was a I just saw a clipper because I was kind of I knew we had issues with Venezuela and they've always hate like they never liked us, they were always you know trying to play that arm.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Yeah, the actual people, like you you you talk to the people that are there, like, yeah, man, there's uh two sides to the faction. Oh yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

And uh well, I guess I guess I would say the Chavistas, the the old chavas, you know, the communist part of the government.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

They still call themselves the Chavistas, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

And uh, you know, that's that's the part that doesn't like us, right? But yeah, but I mean I think that's what's crazy was like you know, I saw we were, you know, we had issues with the drugs and stuff like that, and we're taking those people out, but I didn't, you know, whenever he had him, I was like, dang, bro, like it really I was like, damn, you know, like it's crazy.

Venezuelan Reactions & Oilfield Ties

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Bro, the the fact that that that he fell um is an insane blow for true to the drug trade. Oh, yeah. It's an insane blow to the drug trade. And uh yeah, man, he he this isn't this isn't just like a uh this year thing, and I think a lot of people are seeing the news and they're like this is a this year. Look into it, you'll see that the United States have been after his ass since 20, I think 2020 is when they came out and he and the and there was a price on his head. Oh yeah. Um and in and I don't know what year exactly or what, but uh I know that they they placed a number on his head and all Donald Trump was did was crank it up and uh get shit done. Uh that's that's the truth. He got shit done. He's been wanted for drug trafficking. That's what he was wanted for beforehand, right? So uh 2020, since 2020, I believe, but uh we could look into that and you can fact check all that shit or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Yeah, then we don't like this is all kind of new, right? Yeah, this is it.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

We're reacting, we're reacting like regular, right? I literally got up, saw all this shit, started getting all these messages, and then came over here with us.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

You know, and I told Corney Corners like, what's up with uh Venezuela? And all I was like, well, look, I don't I don't know too much about it, but that guy's been having, you know, he's he's we've had his number for a while, and on top of that, it's his time was up. And I guarantee us I I know there's a lot of Venezuelans today that are happy about this because you know I don't work with too many now, but I used to work with some like in 2021, and uh man, I remember none of them liked him, like they hated him, like he pushed him out of the country, like and then he made it hard for them to come back and forth. Like it was a lot of a lot of issues they have had with him and Chavez, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:44

This past election, man, was whoo! Yeah, that shit was hot because yeah, I mean he stole the election essentially. That's what that's what happened, and it was, I mean, a lot of people thought that there was gonna be change. A lot of Venezuelan people thought that there was gonna be change.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Well, there was that it's that tall dude, the one that the tall Mexican looking or Venezuelan guy. He's the one that was supposed to win, right? That Trump's like his it was a friend with him, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Called him. He actually like said he should be the president.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

Well, I mean, that whole faction, that whole faction, and I mean, there's there's a lot of people in it, so I'm not even gonna begin to know what's going on with that shit. All I know is that that whole faction that had supposedly they were supposed to win the election and lost by a landslide. How the fuck that happened? Yeah, uh, yeah, whatever. But there were riots right after that.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

Right after that happened, there were riots in Venezuela because of that election. Um and I don't forgot what year it was or whatever, but yeah, they the the United States government and that faction, which is that political group, have kept in touch very closely. Uh uh Marco Rubio has actually that was the group that actually uh uh uh met with Marco Rubio, and that's why um that's why people obviously are are talking about oh well it's it's all about the fucking oil and all about that. It's it's some about the oil. I'll be real. It's some about the oil, yeah, 100%. But it is also he's a fucking fugitive.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Yeah, and then I think also they got nervous because um China was there recently and they were talking about joining forces. And that's scary too, because it is that would be on the south of us, and then we would have them, you know what I mean? Like, and I and I know this is gonna be this is a quick boom boom knockout, and then I don't know what happens after this. Hopefully they put that guy in. I mean, who knows, man?

SPEAKER_01 8:32

Like, you know, uh I I would think I would honestly think that this would not be done with Maduro unless they were gonna take him and his entire inner circle out.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

So so yeah, and Maduro was indicted for narco-terrorism in 2020. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Yeah, so 2020, it was 2020. Yeah. Um, and indicted for narco-terrorism and of uh 2020.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

14 other uh Venezuelan officials were charged also.

Drug Trade, Indictments, And U.S. Policy

SPEAKER_01 8:58

Yeah, drug trafficking, corruption, and uh I don't know who besides Maduro has been taken into custody. I have no idea, but I know between him and like two others because I talked I talked to uh some of the Venezuelan friends, like between him and two others was like ridiculous, like 150 million. Yeah, it was 150 million uh bounty. It was a hundred for Maduro already, I believe. 50 or 100? I I don't know anyway, but just the three top dogs is 150 million for their heads. So um, but I don't know who else was taken in, and I don't even know their fucking names, to be real with you. They've they've been mentioned and I've I've heard about them, but I just can't regurgitate it right now.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

This is this is wild, man. I mean, you don't and then to be that quick and easy, like people call it the one hour war because it's like just done.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

Well, we knew it was gonna be like that. The only thing I'm hoping for is of course, no, no uh casualties for for uh citizens for the citizens of Venezuela. Uh um if you were in the military and you're protecting Maduro, you're fair game.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

I'm sorry. Did you see that uh video they put out though? But recently, whenever they thought Trump was gonna do this big speech about going to war, they had like you see that video? No, I haven't seen it. Oh no, like, yeah, they got like uh they're like it's it's like he got all his people dressed up around a table, and it just looks so weak, bro. You're like, what is this a joke, dude? It was it was funny, like, I don't know, but they're everybody was all geared up, and then Trump comes on and he's talking about I don't even know what he did. It was recently like a few weeks ago. He was it was something completely different. I think it was just a Christmas thing. I don't even know. Like, but these guys were all thinking we're going to war that day, and Trump just hit him out of nowhere, bro, with this thing.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

Yeah, I mean, it's it's so crazy. This this kid kind of came out of nowhere, honestly. Yeah, not out of nowhere because obviously we had a presence there and it could happen. The the ball could drop at any moment. Uh what they're waiting for. I mean, I'm I'm sure it had it was something uh uh military-based that they were waiting for. Yeah, um, and they got their opportunity, and then bam, bam. All the videos that I've seen and that they've sent me and everything, I just saw two bombs. So whenever they're like fucking airstrikes and all this shit, and like everybody's picturing fucking Pearl Harbor, it's not like it from what I saw, there were it was two strategic uh um strikes. Yeah, and then after that, they took them in the country.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

A lot of the I saw videos too, like a lot of people are like celebrating, like happy dancing. Uh there are even uh some of I think a recent video of people like dropping a whole like uh like a whole picture of this guy like hanging off a building, they're letting it go, like taking it. You know, I can only imagine what it's like to live in a country like that where it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Live under a fucking tyrant, bro.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

Yeah, and it's communism, and you can't see this or that. There they got you're starving, everything's like, you know, you never know where you're gonna make your money at the end.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Bro, like I will tell you like whenever you have friends that are Venezuelan and they they're going through that and their families are going through that. Like I had friends that were they would tell me, like, hey Jesus, how do how can I get my hands on like oxygen? My my my mother is already up there in age, it's impossible to get oxygen in in Venezuela, it's like it's insanely overpriced. And like stuff they're going through no like stuff that we don't we don't take into account, right? Oh, the hospital will tell you where to get the stuff or the supplies or whatever. Um, and I'm not to not to downplay anything anybody could be going through here in the US, right? But we're spoiled, bro. Yeah, we are like I there's no other way for me to put it. Uh we're spoiled, and the biggest thing that we worry about is getting up and see who's talking shit about us on Twitter or on online or whatever, or or see what Trump said so that we can then turn it around and talk shit about it. Like, that's what people here are worried about. Well, well, yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

Well, it's like it's like funny with the uh you know, and I I'll go to the commies because the communists here in America will complain about it, yet they but they benefit off a capitalist country. And this is and it's the reason why, you know, and I and I won't say we're like, yes, America has its problems, which especially in some parts of the healthcare, but our healthcare is still the best. I mean, it really is. It is. And and the you know, the you know, corporations will take advantage of us, yes, and all that, and we got our own problems, but at the end of the day, America is still the greatest country in the world, and it and it's the safest, and it's it's the nicest, bro. Like, and the freest. And people come people like people can say whatever they want here, but people are still killing themselves to come over here. Like, obviously, they they know more than you know because I mean why are they coming here that you know what's funny?

SPEAKER_01 13:34

You know what's funny when you that you say all that? I actually have seen a few things and I'm trying to follow. Yeah, trying to follow them on TikTok. Some people are actually gearing up to live abroad.

SPEAKER_00 13:49

Yeah, yeah.

Geopolitics: China, Strategy, And Casualties

SPEAKER_01 13:50

And I honestly do want to see this happen. I mean, it's n like you're not truly living away from the United States unless you renounce your citizenship. If if you're such a badass, if you're such a badass and you believe you can live outside of the United States and function and and and do the shit that you're doing here elsewhere, be my guest and renounce your fucking citizenship. Like everybody that I see here that I see on the videos, and it's and it's not just me, everybody that's in there, like, are you gonna renounce your citizenship? And they'll they'll ask them this, but they do not answer the fucking question. You know why? Because they're not going to renounce your citizenship. The moment they get into any fucking trouble in any of these countries, they're gonna cry, I'm an American citizen, and they're gonna come right back fucking home. And that's a that's the fucking truth. Everybody who's bitching, I'm still waiting for Taylor Swift to fucking leave. Why ain't the bitch left yet? So you know what I mean? Like, I am okay with everybody having their opinions, and I'm okay because that's what America's all about. Uh but at the end of the day, you guys are hypocrites for fucking bitching so much about how great other fucking countries are and their systems and this, that, and the other. Go you go just to just go to Canada and die from a fucking splinter that got infected, motherfucker. Like, like go ahead, go ahead. Like, you talk to Canadian people, bro, they can't even see a fucking doctor. Yeah, they can't. Yeah, a lot of them. Yeah, it's a beautiful healthcare system and it's fucking free and go see how long it takes people to get in to see a fucking doctor over here for a cough.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

And then they come over, like they had a lot of them come over here because it's like there's no incentive to be better in the world.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Yeah, why would you want to be why would you want to go through what it takes to be a doctor to be a regular motherfucker?

SPEAKER_00 15:52

Yeah. You know, bro. Well, you know, and I I watched uh there's a documentary on Netflix and it's called through the eye of uh the camera of uh the camera or something of Cuba. And there's a lot of people that went because you know Cuba gave them free education, all stuff, right? So these people become doctors, they come engineers, and then this guy's like on a boardwalk and he's walking, he's like, Hey, what do you do? Or what did you go to school for? He's like, Oh, I'm a I'm an actual engineer, but he's selling like little things because he's like, I can't make no money here. Like, you know what I mean? Like, and it's crazy to see that the economy's collapsed, bro.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

Where the fuck do you get the money to fucking put up people for free, healthcare for free? Fucking where do you put the yeah, where do you get the fucking money from, bro? And I can tell you where Venezuela was getting it, and I can tell you where that fucking government was getting it. This is fucking drug money that was running that government.

SPEAKER_00 18:03

Like, well, you know, my Matt's uh grandpa, he went to um he actually went to Venezuela back in the day in the 70s. Oh, when they were oil and stuff was like and uh he was like he said it was crazy, like it was like real like really nice and all, you know, and then but then Chavez and all of them took over and then they kind of they nationalized the oil and then everything went down the hill, you know. It's a beautiful country.

Life Under Tyranny And Scarcity

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Man, it's the same thing as uh sorry, I'm crunching. Uh it's the same thing as El Salvador, bro. Oh yeah, yeah. Look at look at what Bukele has done with them, bro. Yeah, it's fucking crazy, man. And that that's the change that that Venezuela needs, and Venezuela, as far as minerals and all that, is way higher on the scale than El Salvador. Imagine what that structure would do for the country. Yeah, it would be insane. I'm sure, I'm sure those ideas run deep in there, but also the communism runs deep, so it's very fucking difficult. Like, I'm sure it's gonna be embattled for many, many years. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:11

And it's wild because you know, like when you look at like uh, you know, I guess weird because you look through history, like you'll see like let's go to Mad like Chavez, he had the Chavistas, and they all look like Antifa. They all dress just like they got the red rose, they got uh and and you know, like it's just like with uh what's his name? Mohammed, the the one from New York City, whatever his name is Mondami. Mandami. Uh, you know, they did a song before he went on, it was a it's called Bread and Roses. Well, it's that goes all to straight. It's like a socialist communism thing, right? Bread and roses, like long bread lines, we'll give you free bread. And then the roses, for some reason, it's like a roses, like uh the rose chapters and the T V. Like it's like all crazy. But like when you look at like um, what was his name? Um, so you had um you had uh Hitler and uh Mussolini. So Mussolini and he had the their uh the blackjack or whatever, like brown coats and Oh no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They were black. So they were black, but then uh Hitler had the brown. And so it was like, but these people do a lot of things. It's the same, bro.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

It's the same, it's the same fucking uh what do you call it? Game plan.

SPEAKER_00 20:11

Yeah, same ideology. It all starts off nice, but ends up horribly. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 20:15

And what happened to that shit? Yeah. Like what happened to that? So the s the so-called fucking freedom that uh Chavez promised and the so-called fucking, you know, like, bro, that shit went to shit. As soon as that motherfucker was in power, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 20:33

They don't want they can't let it go. They want to keep the power, so they just kill off everybody.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

Yeah, everybody who has a problem.

SPEAKER_00 20:39

Fear, fear is what controls everybody, oppression, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 20:42

Fucking momdani, bro. You know what's funny? Like, when when when some of the shit that he says actually happens, come see me. Yeah. Because it's not. Like, everywhere he is, he's just a walking uh socialist billboard, bro. That's all he is. Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna swear on the Quran, not not the not the Bible. Sure, bro. Like, go ahead and fucking, you know, like he he all he is is he's just raking in the money right now, raking in the likes, his social media's fucking booming. Yeah, like, but is he gonna do anything he said? Fuck no. The motherfuckers over there still gonna be paying fucking$2,000 rent for a fucking space this big to live in with no fucking restroom. They're gonna be pissing and shitting in buckets still.

SPEAKER_00 21:31

No, yeah, I believe you. It's it's it's a it's uh it's just a bunch of talk, bunch of that is for sure. You know what I mean? Like, it's just like you see, you're like, dude, come on, man. And then it's like, but like you, it's like funny because you can like that guy, you can tell this guy has no values, bro. Like, you like it's I mean I I respect him for going to Trump, but at the end of the day, it's like you see him like with his little thing he does now, and it's like, bro, like, do you is there anything you won't do? Like, I can tell you're corrupt, bro. Like, I can I can just tell you have no standards. But first of all, you you put your hand on the Quran, which you know, whatever. I I don't like it, but that's your religion, whatever. But like, but like at the end of the day, that that book you're putting on has does not agree with anything you're living, bro. So obviously you don't you don't even live by that book, you're just doing it because you want other Muslims to like you.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

Yeah, but and I forgot what it uh we talked about it before, what it's called, like it allows you to deceive in order to get what you need and tort in order to progress um in the name of of their religion, right? Um, but you know, mu uh momdani's getting rich, bro. I'm letting motherfuckers know right now. Oh, yeah. That motherfucker's getting rich. He's a mayor and he's getting filthy fucking rich right now. And there's a lot of that going on on both sides, on both sides, for sure. You talk about both sides, 100%. There's a lot of that shit going on. I mean, it it's it's it they're out for themselves, guys. That that's what it is, they're out for themselves, and as much as the the Democratic Party or uh or the liberals wanna take it as a win, as oh yeah, New York, whatever, he's still gonna bow to Trump. I'm letting you know, like he's not because nothing is gonna get done in that city without Donald Trump's blessing. I'm telling you right now, you might as well just fucking yeah, everything he says and his social media and everything is wonderful, wonderful, but it's all a facade, man. He's getting fucking rich and he's doing it for himself and his family. I can't even I can't even blame him. I can't even hate on him.

SPEAKER_00 23:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

Like, bro, bro, understand understood the assignment, um, and that motherfucker's getting rich and and what's wild too is that he's a celebrity now.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

I mean, like you look at even with uh recently uh Sean Ryan on the podcast. I don't know if you saw that, but he's been having issues with uh Crenshaw, one with the one eye. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I never I don't never like that guy. I've I've always wanted him to out, but he stays in for some reason. But um, anyways, like they've had a few, like apparently he's came after him, like try to sue him for saying he got rich off like some stocks or something. Like so cute.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

He was one of them.

SPEAKER_00 24:04

And Crenshaw sent him an ugly message, and uh Crenshaw uh Ryan was like, Sean Ryan was like, I'm not bowing down, bro. Like, that's what you do. You bully people, you scare them. And he's like, I invited you on, you don't want to come on, then fine, whatever, but I'm not gonna stop saying what I want. And I was like, dang, dude, like it's crazy, man.

America, Healthcare, And Ideology Rants

SPEAKER_01 24:19

And like you can it it's crazy that even um with this all the stuff that uh Trump has done, like he's he's kept a lot of promises. I think where Trump has faltered, and I I have no problem saying it, and a lot of people have said it already, is that there really is no more uh going after the bad guy. There really is no more. There's a lot of people that the the right wing believes are committing crimes. Yeah, they're committing crimes and they feel like um nothing's being done about it still, and that Trump is still not doing anything about it. Like we talked about it before. It's almost like I feel like Trump um now is kind of on the side, like, okay, well, we gotta work with what we got.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

Well, and and yeah, it I I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

I I don't know how honestly for me, I don't know how it sits. It do I think it's right? No, I don't I don't really think it's right. And I think uh um some shit needs to be some people need to be held accountable. I know right now they're calling for Tim Wall's head. Oh, yeah, um and uh but he hasn't been arrested, he hasn't been indicted, there hasn't been anything that really came through with that.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

So that one is weird, and and uh I think he I think at the end of the day he knows what he was doing, and and and that money gets funneled to the DNC in a way. Like it's all it all goes around in a circle. So like I know exactly that they know what's going on, but they let it go, and then they want the votes, so they're gonna they want this the community, so that's that's what they do, bro.

SPEAKER_01 25:45

Like it's like I heard some of that fucking I and and I heard through social media, through TikTok, so how credible it is, I have no fucking idea. And I forgot the exact uh person it was who was saying this. Um I don't know if it was uh Sean Ryan or who I don't remember. Anyway, they're saying that they traced, they actually traced a significant amount of money from the money that was being collected by the Somali community that they're talking about with these daycare centers, and it's not just daycare centers, it's other fucking fraudulent uh stuff. Um and but they trace that money all the way to fucking terrorist groups in Somalia.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

And like, yeah, bro, we are we are feeding our own fucking enemies.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

And I think we doubled their GDP if I'm correct, in uh Somalia. Like, and and you know, I watched a video like of it recently with that guy, the Nick Shirley guy, the one that's the one.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Nick Shirley, let me tell you something. You can hate the motherfucker because of you don't like his ideology or you don't like uh anything, you can hate that motherfucker for any reason, but you gotta get that fool's got balls. Oh yeah, that fool, that guy, he's and he's not a big guy or a big like you know saying some fucking muscly guy that's a fucking combat specialist or so. He's a regular fucking guy. Yeah, and he's out there in the fucking middle of these fucking places calling out fraud, and these people were like some of these people were dangerous, bro.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Like and I'll tell you this, like before the before the Somali thing, like before this fraud came out. Oh yeah, he's with Antifa, he's fucking like he's like in all the all these videos, and I think that's the video I was telling you about where if I'm correct, is whenever uh that guy was all on his face and then somebody on the rooftop put a laser on him. Well, see that that that's that same guy, and it's crazy because he goes to all these, and Antifa is not nice, bro. Like Andy Nagar's group, Andy Nagar, or whatever, when he got beat up the way he did that one year, like in 2020, like they beat the heck out of that guy, man. It was crazy. But you know, they're they're violent, crazy uh just liberals, man, or socialists, commies, whatever you want to call them. But at the end of the day, it was crazy because like that I seen him when he went to the Somalian community before, and it was just like really tight-knit, like they didn't want him asking no questions, and none of them speak English, they all speak Somalian. He's like, What the like whatever, like, but he's still there, you know, and he talks to everybody he can. But like, you know, just when you saw the community already, like how tight-knit it was, like, it was it was pretty wild.

SPEAKER_01 28:12

Some of this shit is just hard to believe. You have to be a dumb motherfucker to think that some of the shit that's going on is just oh yeah, that happens. Like, I don't know if you saw the the Somali daycare where they all of a sudden the next day they're like, Yeah, they broke in and took all the records. Yeah, that's all they took. So you're telling me that somebody fucking cut through a fucking concrete wall, snuck in, and they decided they're just gonna take the records.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:44

The records that prove how fucking fraudulent you have been.

SPEAKER_00 28:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

It is so crazy that they get on and they expect people to believe this shit.

SPEAKER_00 28:55

Yeah. Well, in and I saw a clip yesterday. Uh, the glasses that kid was wearing, they're worth like thousands. Like, I'm not talking a thousand or two, I think like four, ten. They're designed. If I'm correct, around ten grand. Like, and there are people. Yeah, it's it's just blatant in your face, robbery, bro. And it's it's it's kind of like crazy because I was watching, I did watch a little bit of the Nick Shirley one where he goes and there's like nobody there. Like, and this other guy that he's with has said, I've been saying this for years. He's like, nobody listens to me. Like, yeah, but this has been happening, and they couldn't ignore it. And they do it with uh like taxi services, I guess, like for healthcare. Like so there's child care, adult care, and I can't remember what the other care is, but like that's where they all like take it in right there. Like, yeah, and then that one learning center, I didn't know uh the learning center, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

Okay, that that one that's what actually helped all this happen because it went viral.

SPEAKER_00 29:44

But you know what was weird was that um I was like I was looking and then all of a sudden on Instagram I see it and I'm like, why is this? I didn't know about it yet. Like, because I hadn't seen it, but but it was weird was that I was already following it, and I was like, why am I following this? I don't I've never even seen this before, but it had like 20,000 followers already, and I was like, this is so I unfollowed it, but then I realized later what it was. I was like, but but it was weird because like why am I why is this already following? It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 30:07

Yeah, it's it's it's crazy, and that's what went viral. They made memes on it, they did all kinds of shit. That one place, because of how viral it went for how it was spelled, yeah, is what drove this because it blew up massive. And it's like and of course Nick Shirley's videos, too.

SPEAKER_00 30:23

And it's like eight billion, eight billion dollars of fraud, they think so far.

SPEAKER_01 30:27

It's insane. That they just like you said, they doubled Somalia's GDP.

SPEAKER_00 30:33

And and they'll crazy hey man, they're they're smart, they got away for it for years. I mean, you what can you do? Like, that's what they did, but it's it's crazy when you see that.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

But now don't be don't don't get scared now, Padner. Yeah, don't get scared now. You got away with it, you lived a wonderful life and all this shit. Well, and now you're going to prison. Now you're going to prison because I'm they are up Minnesota's ass with the fucking microscope.

Minnesota Fraud Allegations And Community Tensions

SPEAKER_00 30:58

Well, and then and then like that guy, that one main guy that got caught, the one that was like, I don't know, he has a photo of him everywhere. He's been with Ian Omar, he's been with Tim Waltz, he's been, he's like all these photos with him, with everybody. Yeah and they do that, uh they do that ballot harvesting too a lot over there. Like that's been a known thing. Like they get all these ballots and they throw them in. Like, you can tell, like, bro, like I know this shit. I know it's all, you know what I mean? Like fraudulent and fake. That's why nobody likes ballot harvesting. You know what I'm saying? But like, or like those drop-off uh voting stuff.

SPEAKER_01 31:26

And I can't even honestly, I can't even blame Tim Walls. I think Tim Walls is actually, I think that motherfucker at some point has feared for his life. Oh, I wouldn't doubt a lot of these politicians haven't, bro. Straight up, bro. I I honestly think at some point when it comes to this, because he had to literally just let this shit go.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:45

He literally, and and and this is why people are pissed off because he's still right now kind of just skating away. Oh, yeah. Well, what did he call it?

SPEAKER_00 31:53

He called it uh uh white supremacy, because they we're calling out fraud, bro. Like that's what they do. It's like anytime there's any kind of fraud, they call they go to race car all the time.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

I'm like, bro, like there's a lot of white people at the at the bottom of this, like, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

And you think and it's like you think we're that like that's the thing, they think we're that dumb. It doesn't well some people are.

SPEAKER_01 32:11

Yeah, they think that this shit is has something to do with race. No, it just so happens that one race is the race leading this bullshit. And so what are you supposed to do? Like, not name that oh, let's not say some let's not say they're Somalians. They we're just gonna say they're people. Yeah, yes, they're people, but it's the that group is a Somali group. What do you want? What how do you wanna exactly like it? That's who did it, that's who's at the bottom of it, that's who's running it, and the whole Ian uh Omar or whatever the hell her fucking name is or whatever, like man, her and her husband are in deep shit. Um her husband or her brother? I can't remember.

SPEAKER_00 32:54

It's crazy, yeah. No, because she she did marry a brother before the game. Before, before, yeah. And whatever, but yeah, but now it's just now she's with another. Which is funny because, like, you know, you look at Ion Omar, you look at ALC, and these are all ladies that cry about racism, yet they're married to a white guy. That's a funny thing. It's so crazy. You see that stuff, like they throw all this word around rhetoric, but then they're with like, you know what I mean? Like, it's crazy, yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

And the and and you guys know exactly where we stand with all the the people that are aforementioned, but honestly, this has nothing to do with that. It's it's very clear, very in your face fraud, and it's fraud. Like, I feel bad, I honestly do feel bad for the actual single mothers that now have to pay full price for their health care all because the government had to stop payment while they figure out the cluster fuck that is going on over there. I feel bad for those women. Well, yeah, and left, right, fucking red, blue, green, I don't give a fuck about none of that. They're single mothers, they need they actually need the help, and now they just got blindsided. Yeah, all because of that bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 34:03

Well, and it's not just that. Maybe they got pushed into doing it too. Like, you know, if they're a tight-knit community, maybe a lot of people got pushed to do it. Like, yeah, you gotta do this. This is what you do. This is for our people, you know what I mean? Like, now they're banned for life. I mean, because you can get banned. I didn't know that, but we looked at it today. Like, you can get banned for life from like uh like from Social Security and all that, or like uh food stamps, because uh like you if you commit to aid if you commit fraud on it, like if you're fraudulently doing it, they will ban you for life. Like, and or years.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

It it goes it depends on how bad it got, but you can get banned for I didn't know that you can just get a ban like that. I didn't know. I mean I I they can't I knew they would take away the services, but I didn't know like hey, this guy like putting up a picture, this guy, don't give them any more fucking well me too.

SPEAKER_00 34:46

I was really surprised when that I was like that's crazy, bro. Like, you know, but that's what's sad about it. Like, people who need there should be those consequences.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

Oh, yeah. Just be honest, there should be that accountability, man. It's the this shit is crazy, and I'm not saying that that everybody this has honestly it had really has nothing to do with right or left. I know there's people on the right that are fraudulent, and I know there's people on the left that are fraudulent. That's not what we're saying. We're saying that the fucking left is trying to hide this fraud that we're talking about. That's what we're saying. Um and that's what that's what it is, man. They the left, Tim Walls is the most left son of a bitch I've ever seen in my life. Um, like to a f to the the fucking end. Like, like you said, anything that that happens, that motherfucker will lean on race, will lean on all his leftist fucking values. It's it's crazy. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

Well, like, and then like you know, you look at their the weather campaign, the Harrison Waltz campaign, like it was just a joke. It was full of lies, and people just kept wanting to like.

SPEAKER_01 35:50

I'm just glad people saw through it.

SPEAKER_00 35:51

Man, me too. It was just, you know, that was the best part because, like, you know, the dude, the dude showed up at a remember he I remember there was a clip of him showing up at a football game before the game. Like, he shows up at the game, and it's like, well, why didn't you show up during the game, bro? Like, that's the way to do it, right? But you know why? Because he knew he would get booed, bro. Like, that's what that's what it's like, stuff like that. It's like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 36:10

When he shows up before the game, he's all like, man, what's politics is so crazy, man. It's so fucking crazy. Yeah, dude. And we never know on either side, we never know 100% truth. Wait, you never know.

SPEAKER_00 36:22

And AI is scary, because that's the part that's fucking frightening, bro. Because you think like we use AI, and people like us, regular people, could use it. We use it for fun, yeah. But but some people would use it to like, you know, make somebody believe something politically that they didn't like, right? But that's what's scary is that even the government could do that to us. The government could put out so much uh AI misinformation that we wouldn't even know what's right or wrong. We'd be like confused, bro. Like, because some of it looks so good. Like, there's times where I had to look at some like, hey, is that real or what that? You know what I mean? Like, and I'm like, man, that like it gets that good. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 36:55

Yeah, it's it's so crazy, man. It's so crazy. Like, yeah, AI is gonna play a huge role in in in media, man. Come it's already happened. Well, control.

SPEAKER_00 37:05

I mean, that's what it is. It's control. Like, and AI really is because it's misinformation, then you don't know what's real. Like, it's just it's just wild, man. You know, that I I like the neural AI is cool in some areas, but like it's scary too.

SPEAKER_01 37:17

Used proper, used for for non uh non-fucking political or fucking if not used for those purposes, man. I don't like it. But but used in the right way, like for fun, for for this type of media, like entertainment and stuff like that, cool, man. But man, it's gonna be used to disparage so many fucking people, to uh to uh discourage people. Man, it's gonna be it's gonna be used obviously wrongly. But unfortunately, it's that it's that fucking powerful, but bro, it's it's so crazy.

SPEAKER_00 37:55

Honestly, like and uh it's just like I don't know, like the stuff we do it's so funny. Like, you know, did you see that video I got you the the the grill and all that? I don't know if I saw it. I sent it to you and you never yeah I didn't you didn't reply to us. I was like, man, I want to.

SPEAKER_01 38:09

I probably didn't see it because you I you you sent I think you sent me multiples and I ended up see getting distracted with something else, I bet.

SPEAKER_00 38:16

Yeah, and uh I thought was so funny, bro. It should be on our messages, but I got the video right here. But I I I made like that was funny because I was like, damn, I can't believe I that thing made it so quick too, dude. I was like blown away.

SPEAKER_01 38:27

The stuff you could do is it it's awesome. No, don't get me wrong. Like I use AI at work, and like it's it's it's very awesome, man. Damn, that's crazy, bro. No, I didn't see it. Yeah, it's got music too. That's crazy, bro.

SPEAKER_00 38:47

Uh I'll put I'll I'm gonna uh I'll get it figured out. My face a little different on that one, but oh I made that one with me and Courtney too. And then uh I think I got one more right here. This oh, this one was just the one, the first one I did.

SPEAKER_02 38:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:00

That one looks more kind of like me, but the other one didn't, bro. I was like, what the heck?

SPEAKER_01 39:03

So that's crazy, man. Like AI is fun and it's great, but it's also fucking scary. And uh, man, it's gonna play a part in policy, it's gonna play a part in fucking everything at this point.

SPEAKER_00 39:13

Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, I also gotta put out like that the taco fiend thing was so funny. Yeah, dude, that did really well. Like, I was just like, it's still going right now. Every time I look, it's got like got like foot trapping like and he reposted us, bro.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just did uh Sophie's video, and um I was talking to him because I love all his work, that's why I picked him, man. I knew the dude's a good let me get it right. Asteria Studio Media, anyways. Um, yeah, I was talking to him, I was like, dude, like um I was like, I can't remember where else where the heck was I going right now? Oh, we're talking about the oh clips and doing videos, and I was like, man, you know, we we do that, but man, we did that one time and kind of it was cool, but you know, we only do it for special occasions. Like BKFC was the last one, and that was a lot of fun, I think. But like we I was like, I can't see us. We I think we'll do more like a sit or maybe like a couple clips.

SPEAKER_01 45:43

Yeah, yeah, I think I think that's more our style than than just doing like cart uh running around like a festival or something. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:50

It was a it was cool, but it was like one of those where you're like, Yeah, I don't know. I think we're good.

SPEAKER_01 45:54

It's not really our style because we're a podcast, right? Yeah, yeah. We we sit and have conversations and that that's what that's what we do. Being out there, like that content creation stuff. I don't I don't know if that's us uh really. There's a there's a guy here, um there's actually quite a few I've known. Yeah, yeah, but there's one main guy that that's out here. That yeah, I saw I saw her. Yeah, she's she's cool that she does also a bunch of reviews. Um, but there's like two main she's one of them that does the main reviews, and then there's one dude in ah man, I want to say JD, JD Productions or some shit like that. I'm I don't know exactly who the guy is, right? But um Mexican? He's the one that I sent you that said they were having a content creator. Oh, yeah, that dude. Okay, yeah. I get her for your um and he does, he goes and he just asks different questions to these guys or something. Uh he just did some he did some retro game plays, he just did the the fuck MJ Reviews West Tech. MJ, MJ Reviews, okay.

SPEAKER_00 46:59

Yeah, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:00

Yeah, so he's doing a bunch of stuff here.

SPEAKER_00 47:01

He went to some sushi place. Oh, sushi, I just saw that one. Sushi Brothers and Odessa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that made me want to go. So I thought that was cool. This dude, yeah, and like people who do that, I think people don't understand. Like, that's that's gotta be hard, bro. It is hard. Because you got eyes on you, you're trying to do right what's right on the mic, and then you're trying to work the camera right. And you see, like, uh Andy came in here the other day. I brought Andy over here because Andy had never seen it. And Andy was like, dude, like this place is like nice, you know. And he was like, It's crazy. I was like, Yeah, man, me in a seuss. I said, but I'm not the guy that does uh promo, that's a Seuss, bro. Like that guy, you put that guy in front of a camera, he'll knock it out.

SPEAKER_01 47:32

I feel like I feel like that stuff, like going out there and doing that stuff, is very contingent on getting a good response. Yeah, it's very difficult for you can flare it up, and they do they they do like two different things, like this guy MJ, he talks to the owners, the cooks, the whoever small businesses, yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, and so he does different businesses and Homegirl, and I I don't know her name, unfortunately, but I have seen some of her reviews. She actually just goes and tries the place and rates it and stuff. Yeah, he stopped doing that.

SPEAKER_00 48:07

Oh, I got you.

SPEAKER_01 48:07

He just so he does interviews and just recommends or doesn't recommend. He's like, and if I have it on here, I recommend it. The guy's uh the guy's kind of stale, I'll be honest.

SPEAKER_00 48:16

But but hey, I like that. But the videos are cool. I get it too, because I wouldn't want to eat in front of a camera, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 48:22

Like the videos, the videos are good, but the guy's kind of stale. He's just kind of like a rigid guy, but you could tell, like, he's through through his questions and shit, that's how he's create the content is being made.

SPEAKER_00 48:34

And he's like uh he seems like a normal guy too. Like, yeah, he doesn't look like no regular digital content. You know, those guys usually have crazy hair and all that stuff, but he looks like a cool dude. Just he doesn't have any gimmicks. Yeah, he's just he's just straightforward. It's like he jumped out of his truck and said, Let's go ahead and do this business real quick. You know what I mean? Like, I love that, bro. Like, you know, I I think that's cool. But I think I I do remember you seeing that and I've been watching, he's been popping up on my feet a lot. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

I mean, it's it's uh, you know, we want to watch local stuff too and see who's coming up and all that. Like, there's there's there's so much shit that Midland puts out, and so many people in Midland and Odessa that you know they have they they have uh um uh content creation or what have you, they they're doing their thing. So it it's fun to like see people around here doing that shit, and not just that, like doing anything. Like right now we got um we got a wide receiver from Tennessee who's about to start going through the draft process, um, and he's from here. Really? Um I did not know that.

SPEAKER_00 49:33

Yeah, you know, I don't watch much call. I did watch tech, bro, and that killed me watching them lose. Like I was like, dang, bro, like you know, but it was they had a good run. It was they brought a lot of hype this year. Like it makes me want to go to a game. You know, like uh one of our our our sponsors, uh Underdog, they're always at the games, bro, and always like, man, it looks like so much fun. Like I just and I'm always you know, I I was born in Lubbock, bro. I got family in Love, but I've never been to a game there. Like, that's what's I've been to a basketball game. Really? And in Lubbock? Yeah, but I've never been to a Raider game.

Symbols, Movements, And Power Playbooks

SPEAKER_01 50:00

Yeah, I've been uh that those games they're they're I mean it's crazy because they do like most colleges, they're local, they have a hell of a following, and Texas Tech is the same way. And this year was I mean, they were really excited about this year.

SPEAKER_00 50:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

Um sorry.

SPEAKER_00 50:18

No, you're good, man. I mean, but um, yeah, I watched the game on uh what was it, Thursday? Yeah, Thursday.

SPEAKER_01 50:24

So you know Yeah, so uh Chris Brazzle the second, um he actually transferred from Tulane to Tennessee. He's actually one of the main, he's uh the a top ten whiteout this year in the draft, and he is from Midland, Texas. Um Chris Brazzle the second. Wow. Um, so he yeah, man, he is he's about to start going through the draft process, man. You know, fingers crossed, maybe we get him on. Yeah. Uh, but uh we can hit him up, and he played for the University of Tennessee, so he was a Tennessee volunteer, and he's pretty dope. I I've been watching this film because it's about that. I I started I started working on the fucking draft process since early, and I start watching uh players who I hope the Raiders, I know people think it's fucking dumb, right? But this is what I do, it's what I like. I'm I'm fucking I'm fucking uh um diehard fucking Raider fan, so I'm looking at shit. We need a wide receiver this year, too. So I've been looking at tape.

SPEAKER_00 51:26

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 51:27

So looking at tape and and who I hope we're gonna take. And Chris Brazzle's actually one of the fucking main uh wide receivers coming out this year. Yeah, and he's from here. That's right. Uh he's legit. He's a he's a really good fucking wide receiver, and I know he's gonna go to a big team. Um who knows? Probably a day two pick, so he will more than likely go in the third round. Yeah, maybe a day three in the fourth. But uh about to look more about this guy, guys. Yeah, yeah, but we need to check him out. Uh high school wise. I mean, uh, I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 52:02

I'll check him out, man.

SPEAKER_01 52:03

But yeah, but we'll we'll look up more information. But like I said, there's so many people in West Texas that doing their thing, and like we want to, you know, give them their flowers, and he's one of them, you know what I mean? That's cool. So so we want to give him his flowers and make them feel like I always I it always kind of hurt my feelings that Cedric Benson, Cedric Benson, like did so big things, man, and he was a bad motherfucker, but he always credited Austin as being his hometown. And why? Because I'm sure he felt like he didn't get no love from Midland.

SPEAKER_00 52:38

It's just crazy to me because I mean that guy, I mean, people come They loved him. Yeah, I mean he I remember he was doing those little programs and people bring their kids, everybody just to have. But nobody showed him love, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 52:48

Yeah, I mean I feel like his inner group or whatever showed him love, but I think he maybe he just had bad experiences in Midland. I don't know, but he always in his hometown, he was like, he'd say Austin, Texas.

SPEAKER_00 52:59

Yeah, I saw that. I know that's kind of you know, R.I.P.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

No matter what, we're always gonna fucking love Cedric Benson for what he did in Midland. You know, he's a he's a legend here, and uh, you know, but I I always that shit always kind of hurt my feelings, I ain't gonna lie.

SPEAKER_00 53:16

Yeah, well, it hurts me right now. I don't even want to. I'm like cutting it out the podcast, yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_01 53:20

But but you know, it gives us opportunity with a platform to do something right. So if we can get a hold of Chris Brazzle the second, you know what I'm saying? I would love to get him on the screen and hit him up or something. But like just so everybody knows, Chris Brazzle's second, Tennessee wide receiver going into the 2026 NFL draft, support the guy, go follow his ass, like showing some support from fucking middle and West Texas, man. That's cool. It's dope.

SPEAKER_00 53:45

You know what's wild too is you just won the Fantasy, right?

SPEAKER_01 53:48

No, I did not. You didn't win? No.

SPEAKER_00 53:50

I thought you won. My bad.

SPEAKER_01 53:52

I didn't really want you to bring that shit up, but we're gonna go let's go ahead and fucking dive into this shit.

SPEAKER_00 53:57

Last time I checked, you were killing it.

AI, Misinformation, And Control

SPEAKER_01 53:59

Yeah, so let's go ahead and dive into this shit. So I I played in two fantasy uh leagues and I won second in both of them. I was in both fantasy championships and I won second. The first one that which I knew I had already lost was because Derrick Henry dropped the fucking 65 piece on me. So Derrick Henry alone kicked my ass in that league. And then I had the misfortune of playing B. John Robinson in the other league. Um, I was up 71 70 against Romeo. Yeah, I was up 71 points, and he scored 84. Whoa, I thought he was done. I thought two people, bro, he scored 84 points with two people. I was like, their average is there's no way they're like 20, like around the room. Yeah, yeah, 20 and 30 were their averages. I was like, there's no way. And uh, yeah, B. John Robinson went absolutely insane on the Rams, and like the Rams' defense has been very good against the run. I was like, what the fuck is going on? I could only feel that somehow Romeo got a hold of these motherfuckers and uh you know something happened or what but no shout out to Romeo, he kicked my ass fair and square. Um, that's two years in a row now that I dropped to second, and it's funny because last year I was like second, you know what I'm saying? But I'm gonna improve, and I did. I dominated. I dominated all season, I won the regular season championship, took it all the way through the fucking playoffs, and in the championship, I lost by eight points, and honestly, it's really fucking tough for me because I had three different scenarios I had four scenarios on my lineup. I chose the only one that I lost I could have lost twenty. Oh, dude, and that's gotta hurt it sucked so bad because it's I prepare so much and I play like I'm uh I'm I'm always fucking working on my team, I'm always doing work for fantasy, like it's fucking I start prepping months in advance of fucking drafting. Like I put the work in, bro. Like I put the fucking work in. Just and it's not about the money, it's not about the money. I know people are like, yeah, right. It's not about the money. Yeah, for me, it's about the trophy and the shit talking, and I fucking should have won 100%. But you know, God was looking out for my boy Romy, and I you know, if I was gonna lose to somebody, I lost to my compass, or I'm not I'm not too upset. Well, we'll he he he deserves it too. He's been playing, he's a OG, yeah. He's an OG of my league, he's been playing since I started it, dude.

SPEAKER_00 56:56

I didn't yeah, and I was at Target and uh I saw his daughters and they were like, Did you see uh Jesus lose to my dad? Yeah, I was playing. No, but uh no, but that sucked. I I because I looked at it and I thought, damn, Jesus won, good for him, you know. And then that was it. I left one of my I didn't know yet.

SPEAKER_01 57:12

Nah, I got my ass whooped. Oh, that's crazy. It was so fucking heart-wrenching. The last like the last 10 he and he surpassed me the last it was the fourth quarter, probably like eight minutes left. Damn, bro. And that's where he surpassed me. And I was like, just sit B. Why the fuck? And I'm telling you, it took a superstar effort from Bijan to beat me. Yeah, like he got the ball every other fucking play. Like it was insanity. But you know, you know, shout out to Romeo. Like that, that's that that's what it is. It's you need it, you need some luck, you need some strategy, you need some, and Romeo really did hustle this year. Yeah I can't say shit. Romeo was active in the waiver wire, trying to make trades, like he was he was active, bro, and I can't say like he he he pulled it off. And actually, I tried to pull off a little sneaky move, which would have won me. Yeah, it would have won it for me, but the fucking I don't know if the rules changed or what, but you used to be able to pick up somebody, drop them immediately, and it would put them on waivers. So you couldn't pick them up until the next waiver period. So I picked up three, boom, boom, boom, three tight ends because George Kittle got ruled out. Oh so I picked up three tight ends back to back. One of them was Tongi, which was the fucking backup for Kittle, who I knew was gonna go crazy. So I picked him up first and dropped him. But something happened in the NFL.com app now where I guess you have to hold him for a certain amount of time.

SPEAKER_00 58:48

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 58:49

So I went back and he's got Tongi's on his team, and I'm what the fuck? And I go back, and sure enough, everybody who I picked up and dropped was green available for pickup. So I knew the assignment, I fumbled the ball.

SPEAKER_00 59:02

Bro, that's crazy that you even know that. Because I've been playing for you for I don't know how long.

SPEAKER_01 59:07

You don't know how this little trick goes.

SPEAKER_00 59:09

Yeah, bro, and I should have won. And you picked uh not only one good team, you picked like three good teams.

SPEAKER_01 59:15

I should have won. So when I say like it was luck intervention, yeah, like it was the universe that kicked my ass, it really was because I knew what I needed to do, I executed it, it didn't go through. Damn, that's it. It was so fucking crazy, and I was like, damn, well, what are we gonna do? Fair and square, you kicked my ass. Damn, that's wild. So, yeah, man, but you know, all love to Romeo, and there's next that's the beauty of fucking football and fantasy football and all that shit. There's always next year, you know, as long as the old ticker's still going.

SPEAKER_00 59:45

I might have to have you just do my team again.

Local Creator Shoutouts And Food Talk

SPEAKER_01 59:47

Hey, nah, bro. You know, that shit was crazy because and then Dan, I told Dan the same thing. I was like, uh, you don't have an issue with it, and I'm like, and I tell but Dan, he doesn't like it, and I was like, Oh no, yeah, man, it was sad having. To take out my team in the in in regular season, and then I don't want to have to take out my other team in the playoffs. So hopefully, it's fucking funny because all the fucking teams that were favored went down the first week.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:12

I was the only one left. Yeah. All the top seeds went down. I thought I was going to make it. You, Dan, and me were the high three highest seeds, and we all lost.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:21

It's like, oh, but I was like, all my guys kind of dropped down on points because I was going like twos plus. And then I started getting the 180, 160, and I was like barely winning. But I was worried about the Eagles guy because he was killing it for a minute, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:33

It's so crazy, man. Yeah, Vic. And it's so crazy how it works. And uh it's the same thing as football, bro. You get into playoff football, and shit is just fucking crazy. Oh, yeah. And the same thing if uh in fantasy, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:45

And if I yeah, and if I won, I was telling Courtney I'm gonna give him a cut because he's a consultant fee or something. Because this guy, this guy picked the team for me, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:54

It was it's been it was a really good season of fantasy football, and the NFL is wide fucking open right now. You look at the playoffs, yeah, it's crazy, right? The Chiefs are fucking out, the Ravens fucking suck. Um, when looking at the AFC West Rise wise, the Colts, after they lost Daniel Jones, they might not even fucking be in the shit. I don't think they are. You look at the Jaguars surging, that's fucking crazy. Yeah, the Bucks are no good anymore either. Like some of these teams going in, like it's who's gonna win? We don't know. The Eagles, um, is the if they anytime they lose Jalen Carter, they fucking suck. Like, there's so much shit. Like on the NFC side, there's a little bit more clear-cut of who's really good. Like, you know, you got the Rams and the Seahawks, you're gonna have to contend with, yeah, the 49ers, um, those teams, but it is wide open. Any of those teams can beat each other anytime. Yeah, this this this playoffs and Super Bowl is gonna be very interesting. I can't wait to see who's in the fucking Super Bowl. If the Jaguars somehow make the Super Bowl, like, you know, I'm I'm rooting for him. One boy killed it.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:57

They too. The QB, I think. Uh-huh. Trevor Lawrence. I picked him up just for uh a little bit, but I I you know once I get stuck with a guy, it's kind of hard for me to drop off, uh drop him off, right? Yeah, and I had uh what's his name for the Bucks? Um uh QB. Mayfield. Mayfield. Had Baker Mayfield. So I kept him in, but man, Lawrence killed it, bro. Yeah, he did. And if I would have put him in, I would have won. Yeah, I saw that too. I saw that dude.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:18

And then I was like, why the fuck would Ricky pick up Lawrence and not play him?

SPEAKER_00 1:02:22

I know well I picked him up because uh that week I think Mayfield was like uh questionable. Yeah, so he had just got hurt, and then the game before he only pulled out like 10 points because he messed his shoulder up. So I was like, well, maybe he'll come back good. And then man, I was like, Decisions, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:36

Decisions. That's the hard part is that your decisions are what caused the loss or the win. Like sometimes you could be real proud of yourself, and sometimes I'm like, fuck, what the fuck was I thinking, bro? But but either way, it's fucking fun, it keeps you active in football through the year, through the season, and it's just it's a it's a good time. But you know, shout out to all the fantasy second placers and the fucking losers, you know what I mean? Yeah, we're people too, and and I'm uh I'm uh I'm showing y'all love right now. So yeah, before we end it, I was gonna I was gonna talk a little bit about Stranger Things because we've been kind of dabbling in it. Have you finished it? Yeah, dude. So I haven't finished it. Sad. I'm halfway through the fucking uh finale. I will say, I don't know if it gets worse, but I will say that um I think I think the the whole fucking rhetoric about about you know the gay moments and all that shit, I think it was blown up a little bit too much. I think before we saw it, I hadn't I haven't seen the end quite yet. We almost finished it last night, but it was like one something in the morning.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:44

So I got about an hour left. Um, but I think I think a lot more than what a lot more was made of that of that whole uh coming out party than I think probably should have. I at this point, that's my take. I haven't seen the end of it, so I'm gonna give my take on the end of it, uh uh probably on the next episode. But for right now, I feel like people like people ran with it a little too fucking hard. I feel like Stranger Things right now is if you're showing your kids, then you know, it's kind of fucking dumb because it's pretty violent and shit and to begin with. And it's uh basically an adult show.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:24

But but not really, because I mean there's nothing sexual really, like there's not but but also like I think if you had like 12 or 10 or 14, like preteen era, and that's what's weird about it, is like they got us all hooked in because when you first watch it, it's really like all of it's not really that bad, right? Yeah, like so like you watch it and then like but it gets you hooked in, and then the last what two episodes they pull this, you're like, Why do we even have to say why the change, yeah? And there's a clip of that guy, uh Will, I don't know his real name, but the Will, he says, Yeah, I think it was a really powerful moment for the kids. And it's like, Well, why are you gonna say children? Why are you gonna say it's a powerful moment for the kids? Yeah, like obviously that's what your your your your main motive is is to get for the kids. I yeah, so that's I think that's what's annoying about it. It's like and then you waste it, you wasted longer on that than you did on anything else.

West Texas Sports Pride: Draft Hopes

SPEAKER_01 1:05:14

Yeah, the only thing I will say is that the fact that it was done when they are in now their late teens because they're in high school. Later on in high school, it's uh it's more realistic. Yeah, right? If it were if they were in their kid era where they're in elementary school or middle school or whatever it is, and did it then, I would have been a lot more upset um at that at that uh you know like uh moment. Yeah. But instead, yes, they're like deep into high school, where let's be honest, you are kind of thinking about your sexuality and figuring out who you are and all that stuff. So I didn't have an issue with what transpired, and especially for their age, because they're in late high school, and that seems realistic for them to have for one of them to have that that existential crisis type deal, which that's what kind of they framed it. The issue that I had was I don't know if that was the plan. It feels like that shit was written because of the times and the climate and the political nature of it. That's what it feels like. It wasn't like it it's already a written book, and we knew that was gonna happen, and I think it would have been more palatable and easier to digest for us that are Stranger Things fans, um, if it were pre-written books that were they were making a movie out, but no, this is on the fly, they did the they they kind of changed it up on us, right? Um, and I get it. They're older, they're in high school. It it's not that it doesn't make sense, it's that you're changing characters that we have been following for so many years.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:13

Yeah, why not make them autistic, bro? You know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean? Like, why we gotta go that way.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:18

You could have chosen something different, or you could have chosen like, yeah, I get it. I'm not uh to be honest, I was a lot, I was it was more of the fear of fucking up the whole thing because of it. I don't feel like it fucked up the whole thing, I just feel like it kind of threw a little bit of saltiness. Well, it sucks because like everything's good, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:40

But the last two episodes, you're like, what really? Why why did we even have to do this? You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 1:07:45

Like, that's I don't think it's like that's what I that I will say that I don't think it was a necessary story.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:49

It's like the it's like, but that's Netflix, because I think I saw a thing where Netflix has like 40% of the kids' show.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:54

Yeah, that that just came out. It was a study, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:56

But it but it's true, like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:57

They integrated it.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:58

Yeah, they have 40% of gay stuff, and it's like that's just Netflix doing it. Like the that's the whole goal is to normalize it. But yeah, but for him to say it's for the kids, obviously, that's the point. Like it's too, it's to it's to put that in the kids' head.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:10

Yeah, leave the kids out of it. It doesn't, it doesn't make it make any sense, but obviously, obviously the audience that they have, they're they're gonna have some, you know, preteens.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:21

And he's really is like preteens, teens. Yeah, I know. So like I think that they probably did that too because he was, but it was just like it's just like what's the point, bro? Like it's like I saw a clip the other day, Lord of the Rings, and at the very end, you know, and uh and it's that little guy, the one that played the the little hobbit dude, you know, the main character. Frodo Frodo, and they're like, it's like clips, and he's like, Hey, we gotta do this and that, and he's like, But I'm gay, I'm gay. But like, but it's like it's the same concept, like everybody watching this shit, and all of a sudden, hey, I'm gay. Yeah, it felt like bro, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:49

This is and and that's what I want people to understand. Like, it's it this ain't coming from a place of hate, it's coming from a place of uh fandom in a show, and we're like, like, why did you it it didn't have to be inserted? But but you know on my side, I will say it was much much less severe than maybe my mind or or media was making it feel like.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:13

I think uh you gotta think of it too, like when that girl was gay, like nobody cared.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:18

Yeah, nobody cared. Like it was like oh weird, like but it was her storyline almost from the beginning of her storyline.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:24

Man, you know, I didn't really like it. Like, damn, really gotta do this. But I think it's because Will's been there since day one and the kid was just a regular kid. Yeah, and maybe he just liked having friends late bloomer or whatever, but at the end of the day, it's like they gotta do like come on, man. Like, I don't know, it just it blew me away. Cause uh be honest with you, we have watched it with the kids since they were the kids, you know, we were they were a little younger, but like we started watching it, so it's like they get all of us going, and it's like, damn, the dude's gay now, like come on, bro. Like, but it's a joke to us, but uh I think at the end you'll see there's one part it's funny, I don't want to bring it up, but we'll talk about it later. But yeah, yeah, don't bring it up because I haven't finished it. But it's uh I think you'll know what I'm talking about, and it's we'll bring it up later.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:58

And the only reason I want to keep talking about this is because we're kind of going through the end of Stranger Things, and it's the end, you know what I mean? And so we really like the show. Don't get it twisted. Yeah, we have our views, but we like the show, and uh, so we're gonna have our opinions about it. So uh I don't want anybody to get, you know, their panties in a bunch over the shit uh that we're saying, but we're commenting on a show that we really like, and we have our opinions and we feel strongly about them. So I want everybody to know that. And I and this time I actually wanted to uh come out and say that fact that a bad choice of words, but come out and say uh that um it was for me, it was much less severe than I thought it was gonna be. Uh it probably took up what it was like uh 20 minutes around 10, 20 minutes of uh time. It wasn't the only thing that was going on. Probably when it was his speech, it was probably about 10 minutes of that speech and all that bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:55

I'll tell you this, it's longer than the fight with Vecna. I'll tell you that fucking I'll tell you that much. I don't want to cuss, but yeah, I'll tell you that. So that's what that's what's annoying about it. You're like, bro, I you know what I mean. Whatever. I don't want to I don't want to mess it up for you, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:05

No, no, no, yeah, yeah. Let me let me watch the end of it or whatever. Yeah, well, let me watch the end of it before, but yeah, I could see where people can get a hundred percent like um a hundred percent annoyed with the it's more of an annoyance than anything.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:20

I think we I think we all know where it's coming from. That is what's annoying. Well, yeah that's what's annoying. You're trying to push it down or shove it and sneak it in, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:28

It's just I think it'd be the same thing. Let me let me say this. It'd be the same thing because I want to play devil's advocate here. It would be the same thing if that same monologue was done and he was like, I just I know you guys, uh, you know, I'm different, you know. I I love Christ. Yeah. Imagine if that's what it was, right? We would be told that was a rhetoric or that was something that we're pushing Christianity on the people that are watching. On the on uh we would be told that we're that we're pushing it on viewers. Um and so just have an open anybody who's listening, whatever, and might may disagree with us, I get it. Just have a have an open mind of where the opinions are coming from, right? Because anything, anything, and I mean anything, can be put into these shows after you've been following for fucking ten fucking years following a show and you love it, and it's one thing and then it turns into an so you gotta understand where our uh um annoyance is coming from because if we had this show which has never talked about religion once, like I haven't seen it in the show.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:49

I don't know if maybe if anything, on that show that they do a lot is they they actually like curse the Lord's name a lot. Like there's a lot of like GDs and a lot of Jesus, right?

Fantasy Football Finals: Agony And Strategy

SPEAKER_01 1:12:59

I mean, like, and it's crazy because you're like, dude, like I just saw I'm sorry, I don't know where on that, but it's like I noticed it, like, it's like every time I'm like, why don't they say uh Muhammad or something or but no, but it's always that and so and so that's what people that's what I'm trying to get at is you guys gotta understand from the uh that point of view, like we could uh like if if you have a power like Netflix does, um and you flex it and you flex it in the in that way, so open about it, um then obviously people have to have their opinions and their issues with it. So anybody who out there and disagrees with it, just to put yourself in the opposite shoes, put yourself in the opposite shoes on him saying anything else, and maybe it was him because like we said, that's his own, that's his lifestyle, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:57

So maybe it was him and he felt like he wanted to put it in there and that was his deal, but and honestly, like you think about it, like we're not really wrong because it's like their fur like a lot of people agree with us, in other words, because that that episode was rated the lowest out of all of them, like for a reason. Yeah, people were pissed.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:13

And that's why we're talking about it now. People's are people are pissed.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:16

And that's the whole point. Like, it's like, you know what I mean? We know when we sign up for training things, we w we want to watch like uh just a regular show. Like we don't want this stuff, and like you know, like and that and and when it's like Netflix always has an agenda, they have an agenda, obviously, with the children. So that's what's annoying about it. It's like I know what you're doing. Like my mom, I went to my mom's house today, she had Jurassic Park plan, a little cartoon. Yeah, I said, You need to take this off. She's like, Why? I said, You haven't heard seen the clips on this stuff? It's like yeah, they got like same-sex stuff, and it's like this is a kid's show. Why do we have to see that? Like, yeah, and that's what I told even the Transformers is like that. So it's like I told my mom, like, like, you gotta watch this stuff. I know you don't know everything. Well, we have to well, we have to watch the shows before we but shoot, even the children's like, you know, that that Annie lady, the I mean, she puts all kinds of like crazy uh the little kids' show, like it's like a lady, she's like a a lot of children watch her.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:06

Oh, Miss Rachel.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:07

Miss Rachel.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:07

Miss Rachel.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:08

Miss Rachel's a far left crazy bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:10

Well, uh, Miss Rachel just joined uh Mamdanny on his uh on his uh fucking whatever you want to call them. Yeah, yeah. You know, for me personally, um I see the episodes that Miss Rachel puts out and all that shit. I watch it all uh before my kid consumes it, right? Um I don't have an issue with Miss Rachel, I have an issue with the person who plays Miss Rachel.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:34

But but that's it, but that's the issue is that she'll sneak in in her episodes. Like, yeah, she's normal. Like she does good content here and there, but like that's the thing, is like she's still gonna she still has done it. Like a few times she's put stuff in there. Like, but what? I haven't no, yeah, she's done like LGBT stuff, she's done like um, I think it's YouTube, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:15:53

I I would I would I would because I've seen all the episodes of Netflix and it's not in there.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:56

Okay, well then it's YouTube, but it is her platform, so like, and she's done like the Palestine stuff, like so it's like it's like dude, like you know what I mean? These are children, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:16:04

What are you doing? Honestly, and I heard about that too, yeah. And I have not seen it. Uh I have not seen it through the shit that uh that like Olivia has watched. I I have no like me personally with the stuff that Olivia has watched, I have no issue with. Yeah, if I see the stuff that you're talking about, I'm probably gonna take a look at it Well, that and that's what's sad about it, is like you know, like Snoop Dogg.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:26

Nobody wants to talk about Snoop Dogg, but Snoop Dogg's a coward, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:29

Uh I'm fucking fuck Snoop Dogg.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:31

That that dude, like, look, I never really been asked. He folded he folded nasty and he does not look like no gangster no more. Like the guy, the guy said something that he really meant was I didn't like taking my kid to a Buzz Lighty show, and we saw something that I didn't think he should see. And he was asking me questions I didn't want to talk to him about yet. And he was, and then, and then he makes he they come after him, and then what does he do? He he bends a knee, and then on top of that, he makes a uh LGBT music video. Like, like, that is a funny scene, bro. Like, this guy is supposed to be tough, and there's like a thing going around where he gave his like uh they keep saying gave his life to Christ, but I'm like, this was like through five years ago. Obviously, he has not stuck with it, but it's like but it's like I see that I'm like, dude, like I don't know, it's like you see things like that, like come on, man, like that is weak.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:12

It's alright to have it, it's uh to be honest, like it's because people are making it not alright for people to have their own fucking opinion, man. Like it doesn't mean that I hate anybody, that I hate any particular person who's gay, who's who's uh trans, who's anything like you you choose to live your life, just leave my kids out of it. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's we've said that plenty of times here. And if it is something that our kids are watching, like Ricky's gonna feel strongly about his kids who've been watching this show for so many fucking years, and now it's it had it's putting something out there that he doesn't agree with, that his family doesn't agree with. So 100% he should be able to fucking say his opinion. And uh Snoop Dogg should have been able to say his fucking opinion and not get fucking you know held from the fucking ankles over hellfire and then what over it.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:02

The guy gives in. The guy gives in. Now he's on the Netflix Super Bowl. It's all for money, it's all for power. Like, and that's how that's how they get him, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:09

That's all it is, yeah. It's is it's money and fucking greed. Money is a root of all evil, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:14

It especially if you don't know how to, you don't you can't stand your ground, right? But that's what's like, you know what I mean? Like it's like you see little things like that, and you're like, okay, yeah, you know what I mean? Like it's it's uh it confirms, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:24

It confirms, it's lucrative, and and cool. I I I I see that it's lucrative, whatever. Make adult content, man. Leave the fucking kids alone, you know. But you you don't want to, right? Because that's how you that's your that's your fucking way in as our kids, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:39

Yeah, that's exactly to just be. Just chill, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:41

Just chill with that shit. We're it's it people people are always gonna go off and say that the opinions that we have are hateful and this, that, and the other. And it's not hateful, man. I think I think uh doing that to our kids is hateful.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:54

So take politic politics out of it. If you're a normal father, a normal parent, yeah, and you're gonna look at children like, why are we teaching our kids about sexual identity and uh and uh uh gender identity like that?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:06

And and and I'm telling anything about sex, yeah. Just like I don't let my girls watch anything that has fucking nudity in it, like come on, bro. I it's the same thing, right? Why? Because it's teaching them something that they're not fucking ready for, yeah. They're not ready for it, bro. So that's what it is, that's that's where it's coming from. Um, and we're gonna continue to talk about Stranger Things, and if you don't like it, get in the comments, holler at your boy. It is what it is. Yeah, like I said, like I said, everybody's everybody's entitled to their opinion, and that includes us. And uh that's what we're talking about here. If you have something positive to say, fantastic. You have something negative to say, fantastic. I like I said, I love it. It is what it is. Let's fucking talk about it. And man, I love this episode. I I I feel like we got down on the hell of a thumbnail clip. But yeah, man, I appreciate everybody for listening.
