Give us feedback I’ll read it myself!

A youth track meet somehow turns into a lesson about crowds, stress, and why modern life can feel like one long line with no personal space. From there we take a hard left into a topic that sounds like a joke until it isn’t: screw worms. We talk through what they are, why ranchers and wildlife managers worry, and how fast a “that’ll never happen here” problem can become a real biosecurity scare.

We also get into labor and immigration from a working-person angle, including a story about a tech founder who loses his status after selling a company, plus a blunt debate about the H1B system and how rules hit real lives. Then we lighten it up with peak everyday culture: buying underwear online, the strange corner of marketplace selling, and a drive-thru moment that sparks a full rant about language, branding, and why an Arnold Palmer suddenly has a new name.

The second half brings a Germany travel story, AI tools being blocked on office Wi-Fi, and viral trucking claims that raise questions about enforcement and what people will believe online. We touch politics, cartel economics tied to American drug demand, gun culture, and the quiet trade we keep making with surveillance. We close on workplace safety after a tragic training accident, sports misery, family life, and a quick update on the dealership and what’s next.

SPEAKER_02

That uh what if there's a Hitler with uh only kills what?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, homeless Hitler. Yeah, so what if there is a Hitler that comes to the United States, but he's like, We're gonna we're gonna eradicate the homeless? How how far does he get before they stop him? I I feel like a lot of people would be like But what does he make the law in the other way? That's the law in the land? I don't really know. This is just a hypothetical, but it's like I would be like, Oh, I didn't see any before.

SPEAKER_02

That's weird.

SPEAKER_00

And like I understand there's advocates for the homeless, like basically compassionate people that want to help them, but it's kind of like at some point it's like some a lot of the animals at the pound can't go can't go to a home.

SPEAKER_02

No, I've always told everybody this I'm like, do you want your dog uh dying in the side of the road or do you want it in a cage? What's uh that's your two choices? It's your two choices in the cage, I guess.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like I can talk about this because my dad's homeless, and I'll be like, Yeah, you have first-time experience. I'll help put him in the back of that truck. Like I get one of those things around his neck and go, get in there! You actually might need that with him.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, maybe a taser. Hopefully, his all his teeth have fallen out so you can't bite too hard. You need one of those man catchers that you use in China.

SPEAKER_00

Those covet catchers, yeah. Like a loop stuff chain fucking drawer. I've I feel like the best uh COVID man catcher from China would not be enough to catch like a big healthy American.

SPEAKER_02

You would you need a little bit stronger fish in line, my friend. Even someone like half the size of Shaquille O'Neal, like you need like 18 guys to get them down. Dude. Yes. Uh no, well, shout out Ziggy's Oh yeah. Shout out Ziggy's, uh, Ruby's, um, are they over on Hacienda? Uh thank you, Victoria. She's on the last show. She did a great job.

Track Meet Overcrowding And Teen Stories

SPEAKER_02

that?

SPEAKER_00

Well, you interrupted me, but it was something about um oh, I was at this uh I went to a youth track meet yesterday, and it was as close as I can like think. It was like being on the border at Bosnia, like at a refugee camp. Oh, yes. It was horrible. It was like this involunt like everyone is volunteered to be a a refugee camp. Those tents and shit. There's pop-up tents everywhere, and people are bringing cots, and they're set up for the day, and they're trying to stay out of the shade and rest, and there's no such thing as personal space. No, the they have one bathroom facility open, and they they have not turned the power on, so it's like it's piss humid. It's like it's it's sweltering with 20 people in there using the facilities, right? So you have all of the odors, none of the ventilation, and it's just humidity made out of piss.

SPEAKER_02

Track is the worst fucking thing. I I feel like more like assaults happen under those tents than anywhere else. Dude, that's the first place, first place you get fingered was in the fucking track.

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. When we were junior, like junior high is the first time you get to go to track, and because a lot of the times they don't field a full team, yeah, it's co-ed on the bus. Oh, yeah. It's co-ed on the bus. Like, I remember like that was the difference between like seventh grade me and like the seventh grade kid that had a mustache that was already like fucking girls. Like he would he was knocking them down on the track bus.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, uh Emilio fingered me away.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, uh I got fingered. And that's all I could think about yesterday is like underneath these tents, and there was like weird blankets and cuts.

SPEAKER_02

The blankets drive me nuts. I'm like, why are you under a blanket with all these boys and girls? Like, what's going on in there? What's going on? And they're like just making babies.

SPEAKER_00

Anyways, I I did not care for the for the track meet. Actually, when I left out of there, I text somebody and I said, This is the reason like I'm kind of rude. I root for infectious disease versus humanity. Shut up. Like, give me COVID too. I'm kind of I'm gonna you spend a day at the track meet with no personal space, you're rooting for infectious disease. I thought screw worms in my eyes. Shut out, screw worm. We got a lot of screw worm content. It's gonna get screwy today.

Screw Worms And Livestock Nightmares

SPEAKER_02

Baxter, he said, send us a text. The screw worms here. Like it's a fucking grinch or something.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, I got it here. Like my uh my uncle has put himself at the forefront of screw worm for better or worse. He's been screaming about it for a while and at least the last in the middle of but I heard about the screw worm in the prior that now the whole nation has heard of first from Baxter. So shout out Baxter. Screwy little fuck. He can't at least he cares, right? Yeah. Oh, he probably thought he might get to build a containment pen or something. He don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_02

He's just out there Dude, if this thing goes national, which it probably will, your your uncle's gonna be in the forefront. He's gonna be at Fox Fucking News, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, there's uh so you gotta think about all these homeless with the open wounds. The screw worms coming. There's a lot of open wounds in the homeless community. How small are they? Are they on me now? How small are they? They're they're small, dude. They're micro Are they flies? And they lay like a hundred thousand eggs when they land. Holy crap. Yeah. Micro penis eggs, and then they're the little hook fucking teeth. And then you get maggots, but the maggots eat living flesh instead of decaying flesh. Oh shit. So, like you know, when you see like a carcass or a dog run over and you see the maggots on it or whatever, those maggots eat decaying flesh. They do not eat living flesh. Well, the screw worm only eats flesh that's alive. If you put them on like a dead dog, they can't live. They're fucking zombies.

SPEAKER_02

Put them on a living dog, though.

SPEAKER_00

Put them on a living dog and feedback.

SPEAKER_02

That's not that's kind of scary. I'm now scared. Yeah. That's why Baxter's been screaming about it like the fucking town crier. That's it.

SPEAKER_01

Heary, heary. Yeah, we're fucked.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so like they're probably gonna get on a bunch of deer, huh? Yeah. Yeah, it could decimate uh deer population. They talk about these old stories in the 50s and 60s, how like you just like you could go a day through a big ranch and not see a deer.

SPEAKER_02

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And as far as like what the most susceptible animals are newborn, like specifically like a newborn calf, because it has like an umbilical cord that's an open wound, right? And also their eyes, an eye is an open wound. So if you're a fucking livestock and you got your eyes open and this ching of there gets in your eye, like it's gonna start eating your eyeball out.

SPEAKER_02

And you just have like you're out there with all the manure and shit, and walking around next to all these cows, like you're gonna get that shit on you. That's right. Oh no, I'm scared of another thing. Oh Lord, take me now. Uh, do you think we should get the Germans to eradicate the screw worm? They would probably do a great job.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they're like, look, we've got six million of these screw worms, and when they gotta go, could they do it?

SPEAKER_02

I know a perfect oven.

SPEAKER_00

I I and you know what the the this sounds silly, but the way they get them is they screw them. What do you mean? They screw them with sterile, they breed them with sterile uh deals so they shoot their load and it's gross.

SPEAKER_02

But that is that that does work, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Okay, well, I'm not too worried. We're screwing the screw worms. So it's probably gonna take like five years to eradicate them. And like we're we're making uh we're fanning this flame because we're you know entitled Americans that just you know need a new topic to be disgruntled about. But in places like South America where they have more cattle than we do in the United States, like Argentina and Brazil, they have the screw worm every day. It's just fucking like part of life. Yeah, they just doctor around that shit.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And that's part of the problem here. We don't have the labor force. We've we've changed, we've evolved the agricultural where we don't, you know, we have a tractor and we put medicine and food, and we don't have the hands-on labor of the cowboys anymore. Yeah, and that's what's gonna decimate us as opposed to these other countries who have more livestock, but they have the the the help that's what people say, like we need robots.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like, we already have them, they're called immigrants.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, dude, we get cowboy robot. Elon, you got a chance here. You could do the most Texas thing, you could get a cowboy robot? Cowboy robot.

SPEAKER_02

But he loves like H1B guys.

H1B Rants And Immigration Reality

SPEAKER_02

So I hate H1B. This H1B thing is out of control. You're you're not a fan of the H1B. Are you? I don't know. I fucking hate I hate them. They don't need to be here. They've taken over Texas, I heard North Texas.

SPEAKER_00

Man, this friend of mine is a uh kind of retired tech CEO and did well years ago. Yeah. And he had a friend that was basically in the same, had a tech company. He was a CEO at one point, he was like employed thousands of people. Uh and here a year ago, he went to go renew his papers. He's from India, but he hadn't been in India since he was like before he came over for college. I was a boy whenever and he came on a student visa and then got a work visa. Well, anyways, the guy sells his company and he sells it for multi multiple millions of dollars. Well, he goes in to renew his work visa, and they're like, Well, you don't have a job. Yeah, he's like, but but I just had like 3,000 employees to sell my company, and like whoever is at the dealer go, yeah, you don't have a job. He's back in India now. They've they sent him back. Nice. And and so my friend, so imagine this is like a guy like our age in his 40s who hasn't been to India in 20 something years, yeah. And now he's deported, he's back. I'm sure he's a super rich. They're probably gonna like a nice enclave. But he's talking with my friend who's here, and they're keeping in touch, and he's like, How's India? And his verbatim response was it's everything that you assume it is, and worse. Yeah. And he's like, and it looks like this is my home, which I don't accept that. I feel like this guy, like, there's got to be more to the story because he could probably immigrate to like the UK or something, you know what I mean? Or Argentina or anywhere else, anywhere else, like you could GTFO there, but but it's easier.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I'll just go to fucking India and try to make it nice. Yeah, I'll just buy a compound and have a bunch of hookers, I guess. Yeah, you think one day we'll have a show without any cuss words? I want my mom to listen to one of these. Oh not this not this one, but next one. Maybe a couple. Yeah, we'll try.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. I just like it. I feel like every other word's like, you motherfucking.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we can't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Do you think it's that much cussing, is it?

SPEAKER_02

Fuck yeah. Oh my god.

Online Underwear Talk Gets Strange

SPEAKER_00

Um what about people who buy underwear online?

SPEAKER_02

I thought about that. I actually might do that now that we brought it up. You might buy underwear online? Yeah, it's in a package. What's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, but like but like if Instagram's selling underwear, like why can't you just get under like Walmart underwear? Is I wear underwear from Target. Guess what? Walmart carries it now. I used to be a fancy Target underwear guy. Went to Walmart, boom, they have the same underwear. I was like, this is friggin' better. You wear boxers? I wear like the boxer breeches in between, yeah. I love those.

SPEAKER_02

They're the best. I used to wear tidy whiteys when I was younger. Remember the tidy whiteys?

SPEAKER_00

I do remember the tidy whiteies. Did you wear those? Oh, yeah. Skinmark and then oh, it's terrible. It's there. Who in their right minds, like, let's get underwear and make it white?

SPEAKER_02

They still do make it. I know. What about diapers that are white? Like, we don't need white diapers, do we? Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I guess a diaper is important because like you need to like compare in case a kid seems to be. Oh, that's true. The color. I don't know. Ugh. But like quit buying underwear online. What about people who buy used underwear online now? That's that's even more. I think more people might buy used than new. I think more people might buy used. There's there's like women in town that I see that are always on like the Facebook marketplace, like garage sale deal and like selling their old clothes. And when I see that, I was like, I understand you're just like you're having like a digital garage sale or having a system. Or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just getting. But in my mind, I see that and I was like, they're on another website selling used underwear. And they're selling. I'm a sicko. Why why am I why do I even think that?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, just because your mind goes, they're you're just you're just interested in things.

SPEAKER_00

Uh yeah, and I would never in Japan they sell used underwear and vending machines, so it's not like I'm saying like bizarre shit.

SPEAKER_02

Then they've been doing that for at least two decades, I think. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, I saw some lady sit, she's like, Will you buy my mop bucket on Fate Marketplace? It's like $25. It's like, are you fucking kidding? I'll give you $25 to take this fucking post down.

SPEAKER_01

You gotta be in it. Some people just get in a chance.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, what about underwear at Amazon? I feel like that's acceptable. Um if you know your size. Yeah, yeah. I think Amazon's okay. Yeah, I might do that too. I need underwear.

SPEAKER_00

Shout out, yard drum smokers. I got my old going today. I think it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02

What about that smoke escaping the overside? Do you don't really care about that? I guess it has to escape.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It looks nice though. So far, this this drum smoker is super simple. I might you love simplicity. I do too, but yeah. I'm gonna be interested in the quality. I'm cooking a cheap piece of pork. Yeah, it'll be fucking nice, probably. I'm cooking a pork butt because guess what? It's a 8.6 pound bone-in pork butt, and if I ruin it, I'm out $17.40.

SPEAKER_02

Imagine 10 years ago you'd be out $7. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And if I nail it, guess what? The kids, I don't have to take them to lunch all week. It'll be like this. Yeah. Are we still recording? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

All right, good job. The last time we I think what happened was uh she came in and I was like pushing all these buttons and shit, and then I like thought we weren't, and then I I don't know. I don't know. Sorry, no. I forgive you. Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Uh underwear cellars. Uh something. I went to

Sunjoy Confusion And Fast Food Shrinkflation

SPEAKER_00

Chick-fil-A in Del Rio, Texas. Oof. And I pulled through there and I ordered. And the only reason I went to Chick-fil-A is because I knew it would be fast. It's not what I wanted. It's quick, but I was in a I had a finite amount of time. And it's kind of tasty. And you know, like you can still like the other day I got strung out at What's from when I ordered to when I got my food was 31 minutes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, sometimes they take forever.

SPEAKER_00

Like, and so I was trying to avoid that situation. And one thing I will say about Chick-fil-A, love them, hate them, agree with them, disagree with them. I'm in building. You ain't gonna be there for 31 minutes. If you're there for 31 minutes because somebody got shot, so or somebody's getting fired. Yes, like it's it's you just it doesn't happen. So I was in a time constraint and I and I roll through the drive-thru. And part of the reason I know things are gonna be fast sometimes is when they got a son of a bitch standing outside taking your order in the sun, I know they're all about that business. No umbrella? He was like in a shade deal, but it was it's still Rio, Texas, like yeah, uh, this is being checked.

SPEAKER_02

If you're sitting out in the sun, they do that at a Burger Boy and they do that at um In N Out. Yeah. Yeah, I think they copied that from Chick-fil-A.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, in and out, the In N Out guys aren't with an umbrella, they're out there.

SPEAKER_02

They have their little cap and they're like, I'm sweating.

SPEAKER_00

And an iPad, and they're out there humping it.

SPEAKER_02

And the iPad has a cover, so it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00

I think that the the pincha, like if you're working that drive-thru line in the concrete jungle at an in and out in the summertime, smelling all those car fumes, that's a harder that's a harder job summertime job than working at the pipeyard beveling pipe or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just telling you, it's hotter. Well, what about like I went to the drive-thru this morning to get coffee at McDonald's? Like, do you think the people who do do the window that breathe all that shit in, do you think their lifespan is lower than the person? Well, you get a class action lawsuit. Shut up, Alan.

SPEAKER_00

Come on, give her some business. Uh so, anyways, I'm at the I'm at the Chick-fil-A, and I'm talking to the line guy, and I order, and I said, and he goes, To drink? Yeah, yeah, speaking of this. He's a young kid. He that's uh, I guess that's the point. He's probably like an 18, 16 to 22-year-old kid. Perfect. And uh he said, What would you like to drink? I said, an Arnold Palmer. He said, uh, and what would you like to drink? And I said, uh, an Arnold Palmer. He goes, No, sir, what what drinks would you like? Arnold Palmer. I said, I'll I'll like a half tea, half lemonade. He goes, Oh, a sun joy. And I wanted to put I wanted to put my truck in park, get a tire iron out from under my seat and pummel this kid to death.

SPEAKER_02

Well now, but now you're gonna call it a sun joy, aren't you?

SPEAKER_00

I'll never call it a sun joy. You call it a sun joy, I'll spit in your face. I'll have a fucking dog attack you and I'll put you in a camp.

SPEAKER_02

A sunjoy. Where the fuck?

SPEAKER_00

I'll put you in a track meet as a as a punishment.

SPEAKER_02

You're gonna end up one of those uh fucking screw worms. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Fuck idiot. Wait, so they think a screw worm ate his brain.

SPEAKER_02

So the sun joy, that's a real thing.

SPEAKER_00

That's that's and then I pulled up past that guy because that's when you get to the menu because he's working in front of the menu. And on the menu, I stopped and looked at it, and that was what it's called on the menu, a Sun Joy. And it pissed out. But it used to be an Arnold Palmer, I think. It still is on the menu. I thought.

SPEAKER_02

I wonder what Whataburger is. It's probably still Arnold Palmer. So but he gets it.

SPEAKER_00

I just didn't know what it was. They've been mixing that's what blew my mind.

SPEAKER_02

They've been mixing tea and lemonade for de for eons, and they just eons. And Arnold Palmer's like, that's mine. Yeah. Okay. Like we all know that now. But we all know that.

SPEAKER_00

And then I went to Canes, and I'll tell you what, the tenders have gotten smaller.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, uh, the last time I went a year and a half ago, they were size of my deck, size of my deck. They're tiny. Nuggets, beach nuggets, yeah. They're even smaller now. Now I'll never go back. But that cane sauce, I'll tell you what.

SPEAKER_00

We had it yesterday at the track meeting we brought a like a deal of it, and all seven of us shared a oh, it was a whole family thing? Uh oh, six of us were there. Um, and we shared the canes deal, and it was enough. It was we got like one of the big trays or whatever, it came like a full page. God damn that and I as I was eating it for like the third time, because like if you would eat, and I'd be like, I had two, I'm full, and then you put it back in there, and then like an hour later, you're like, I'm gonna have two more. And then we got home and there was like 10 or 12 of them left, and we all sat around and each ate one tender, and I was like, These tenders are not that great, but this sauce is unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02

It's so good, it is so good. And some people hate it. My brother's like, I won't touch that sauce. Are you fucking kidding? Yeah, but he's the type that had like that Chick-fil-A sauce, huh? Ugh. Shout out cane sauce. Yeah, cane sauce is good. Um, you missed some great deals. I have two.

SPEAKER_00

I have a couple stories from Germany we didn't get to last

Germany Dinner And Accidental Beer

SPEAKER_00

Like, we we all go to dinner and we're having this business meeting, and I go with this guy, and like we sit down, and everyone there speaks English, but he's like doing the like I'm a nice host, and I'm we I he took us to a traditional German restaurant that had some history, and he's like, Let's eat if you'd like, I think we should all eat German food. It was great. He's like, I'm gonna order for you. The waitress spoke English as good as I you and I speak, maybe better. But he's like orders in our dinner in in German, and then he's like, What do you like to drink? And uh Alex ordered a glass of wine, and then he looked at me and says and I said, I don't drink, but I'll have a Coke or a non-alcoholic beer. Yeah. And he goes, Okay. And he turns around and speaks German. And the other guy that's with us that came over from Florida, he says, Uh, I don't drink either. I'll have the same. And then the guy speaks German again, and then he speaks German for himself, and then like we go back to visiting, and here comes the meal, and Alex has a glass of wine. This guy's got a Diet Coke, which I would have had a Diet Coke for me, and then there's two like mugs of beer, and uh it's like, Oh, this is the NA beer, is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm drinking this beer. It's like, damn, this is good beer. Oh shit. And it's like a giant mug, like it, I look like I'm on. The man show in 1999. Yeah, it's huge. And I get to like 80% to it, and like I can already feel my body tingling. And I was like, Oh shit, this is a real beer. Like 100% a real beer. And so he fucking, yeah, he one-shot it beer. He got, yeah, he he like zero fucked me and was like, Oh yeah, here yeah, you're in Germany, drink a beer. So I drink this beer. Is that what he's thinking? I I don't know. So I drank this big ass beer and I finished it, and the lady came back and was like, Do you want another beer? I was like, Yes, please. Yeah, I kind of did. But then I was like, No, I'll bring me the bring me a Coke. Like, I'm I'm done with this.

SPEAKER_02

And a cigarette, please.

SPEAKER_00

And the other guy was like, I think this is a real beer. He tells the waitress, she's like, Yeah, it is. He's like, Oh god, I hadn't had a beer in 25 years. And he's like, Bring me a non-alcoholic beer. So then they bring him like one in the bottle. Like, when you order a non-alcoholic beer, they're supposed to bring the can or the bottle for you.

SPEAKER_02

To prove, like to prove.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And uh that's just like common courtesy, anyways. And then the guy got an NA beer. So I drank the huge beer. I didn't have another beer. The next morning I woke up with a horrible headache. You fucking pussy. I felt like a peanut, man. Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_02

You had a hangover from a beer?

SPEAKER_00

I just felt ugly for an hour and a half when I woke up. That's a good feeling. Like a headache until I got some caffeine in me. Dude, if that was me, I would have had like a hundred of them. Dude, I couldn't.

SPEAKER_02

And if Alex and my wife, she'd be like, we're getting divorced tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00

I could feel it in my blood. Like, I could feel it. I was like, dude, I could I could drink like 12 of these and swim across that river.

SPEAKER_02

Your dad was in Denver. He could feel you. He's like, I feel you from across the ocean soon. Get a pipe. Get a pipe. Unscrew that light bulb.

SPEAKER_00

My dad and I are both in the pipe business and we're just different. And uh, so that was that. The other thing I'll say about Germany, if you're on uh Martin Luther Boulevard, it's a lot better than most Martin Luther King boulevards.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the one San Antonio's not good. Um, so wait, what's what's up with the one over there?

SPEAKER_00

It's from Martin Luther from the Protestant Reformation. Yeah, the smart one.

SPEAKER_02

Not the not the womanizing one.

SPEAKER_00

Not that womanizer, yeah. It's just from the disobedient Catholic.

SPEAKER_02

Shut up, civil rights.

SPEAKER_00

Um and then that was let's see what else. Oh, and while I was gone, I feel like the the car auctions were taunting me. There was a lot of good deals out there that I missed, but still good.

SPEAKER_02

They didn't have car auctions out there.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I was on I was on a different time zone.

SPEAKER_02

It's hard to keep up with the no, but I'm like, do they have car auctions in Germany?

SPEAKER_00

Sometimes bring a trailer trailer, they'll pop up in Europe, but very rarely. That'd be cool though. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It's your old P fiat or something.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but I did. I was on my trip, I did buy two for the dealership that I'm waiting to get in.

SPEAKER_02

So that deal's weird. You gotta like find somebody to come bring it to you.

SPEAKER_00

It's cool. I mean, you can go get it. I wish I had time. I'd love to go get them. I would just be driving all over working remotely, but maybe one day.

Blocked AI Tools And Russian Trucking Myth

SPEAKER_02

Um, the Wi-Fi at my uh work, all the uh AI apps are blocked. Why do they what do you mean what's blocked? Chat GPT, Grok, uh Claude. Like you try to get on there, you won't do it. Like at the terminal? Uh like for the office use. I've I stole their uh passwords, that's why I can use it. But uh yeah, it's all blocked. Why do they do that? That's kind of weird. They won't work at all. And because I've tried it and I switched to my cellular network and it works.

SPEAKER_00

What a I've been sending you these videos of these like kind of hood black guys that are truck drivers, and they're talking about they're driving for the Russian mob. We've kind of talked about that before. Yeah. But if you're to believe these idiots on Instagram, which you say they're just lying, they're just doing it for for views. For views, yeah. But let's say they're not doing that. Is that the they're making it sound like they're so what the premise is you're working for the Russian mafia and they hire you out of the greater Chicago area, and then they're able to hack into your tablet and keep you legal.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, they could probably do that. Just like they may they can show it to the cops or whatever. Because if you get pulled over by the cops with the A with the tablet, they don't even check it. They're lay looked, they're like, oh yeah, okay, whatever. They they assume that everything's on the up and up.

SPEAKER_00

And that's what they're saying that the the Russians are they'll keep these tablets where like even if the cops like really look into them, they can't really bust you. Yeah, they gotta have more than that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And they're saying that these guys are running like 16 to 20 hours a day, nonstop, load after load after load, seven days a week, never doing a reset. And like when you go to work with the Russians, like you can make a shit ton of money, but they expect you to stay on the road like 90 days and run 90 days straight. It's like going offshore to work overseas on a whole rig.

SPEAKER_02

Right. But you're doing it very illegally. I don't know. Is that worth it?

SPEAKER_00

I I mean, if you're trying to get ahead and like buy a house and you have some kids and shit, like I could see like being like, this is this is what I'm doing. Like, I don't have another way because these guys online talk like doing this, they can make a thousand bucks a day.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like that's their net. I don't know if that's true, but even if it's five thousand a week, shit, that's 20 grand a month.

SPEAKER_02

I can make 350 a day usually. Um, and that's fine with me. But I'm I don't need a big house, and I don't have like a hundred kids, so maybe that's the difference. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's like one of the good things about being gay, is you don't end up with a bunch of kids. That's a good way to be budget. Oh, you're saying what if you're like uh I'm budget conscious. Uh I'm not really gay, but I've become gay because I'm budget conscious. I don't want to have these kids. What about that?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's my guy goes into my hypothetical. Can you scroll up a little bit? We're not in a hurry, are we? No. Okay. All the way down. My hypothetical.

Awkward Reunion Hypotheticals And Politics

SPEAKER_02

What if an old friend reaches out to you to go get a drink and when you're off bellow, he tries to blow you. Did Cody reach out to you? Cody who Cody Feltz, I mean. Cody Feltz.

SPEAKER_00

Uh is that uh did that happen to you?

SPEAKER_02

No, no, but I'm saying, I was isn't that a funny idea? I'm sure it's happened to someone. Like, what would you say to that person? You'd be like, the next day you're like, why did you do that? Or would you just leave? I would just leave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's why I don't have beers.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Things can get real weird. Yeah. Is that why you don't have beers? Because you might do that to someone.

SPEAKER_00

Masbuto. That was it.

SPEAKER_01

No, I think there's uh I think there's a lot of like gay stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00

Like I don't want to go to a high school reunion. Like that's I figure like we don't even have one. Like our class is like the apathy class.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, we don't care about anything. Yeah. I remember in uh when we went working in Matador in West Texas uh Corey, he'd be like, Y'all didn't like have fuck parties and all this stuff. I'm like, in Uvalby? I mean, maybe I wasn't invited to any.

SPEAKER_00

Like he was talking like is his high school time that they were just having like Roman origins? They said they would just go out to the woods, like uh like 50 of them, they'd all have sex.

SPEAKER_02

Oh wow. I'm like, what? We missed all that. Where do you grow up? Which Anson or I think somewhere out there by Abilene, Noodle, Texas. Yeah, and it's old.

SPEAKER_01

I think that sh like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

That's just that's just bizarre.

SPEAKER_02

Uvality was a weird uh it was a good place it was it was very it was very buttoned down in our our class was. Yeah. Maybe the he was younger, maybe the younger generation's all about the dude.

SPEAKER_00

I'm I'm telling you what, there is uh there's like a parallel universe happening right now, and it's way it's the way information's being fed.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But my my associates, the people I'm around that are on the more liberal left-leaning side, yeah, they are convinced like this Talerco is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Dude, they said that about Beto. And everyone I know that's on the other side, on the right side, they're like laughing. They're like, this squirrely little pedophile is not gonna be Ken Paxton, even though he's a criminal who cheats on his wife. Is he a criminal? Was he ever indicted? He wasn't, and that's what I'm shut up. But I'm like, even if he is, like, that's our criminal at this point. Like, and on the other side, these liberals would be like innocent until proven guilty. He he's innocent. Like, yeah, uh, they even believe OJ is innocent, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

So well, it's like they always they're always like uh the first uh felon president. I'm like, yeah, I guess. Who cares who he's a felon? I don't care.

SPEAKER_00

Uh but this the it's gonna be interesting, and I will tell you what, I'm gonna have to eat a fucking crow if this guy wins, if Talarico wins.

SPEAKER_02

He's not gonna fucking win. I just don't see it. I can't see it. Did you see him in this he he had a beard in a cowboy hat driving a truck?

SPEAKER_00

Dude, you're gonna have to get fucking worst. You're gonna have to get like you have to get somebody to come across the the line to to vote for this guy. And I just see like a lot of I see a lot of conservative like that's a heebie jeeby guy. Yeah. Like when you see that Kim Paxson guy, you're like, you're like shit. Like if I need some if I need some tough work done, like some what are the what how's it goes? Like if you're gonna get something done, you're gonna make an omelet, you gotta break a few eggs. He's the egg breaker. You look at that guy like that guy's gonna do this some of that. Like you look at his history, like he ain't perfect, but like he's gonna get some shit done. Like you look at this Talarico guy, he's like, I'm I'm like I'm heebie jeebies.

SPEAKER_02

He's a weird dude, and also there's like this uh purity test everyone does, or like he's not perfect, we can't have him in there. Like, no one's perfect. Nobody, and I I'll say this people who run for that office, like they're they have to be a little crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Tallerico is is I think he's the Lindsey Graham's um illegitimate steps. No, it's Lindsey Graham got him at Epstein Island and then raised him, and now he's running him for Senate. That's what I heard.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. He's just like Beto 2.0, but he's like Beto 1.5.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I think I think Beto was a better candidate in Calorica.

SPEAKER_02

I I look at Beto and like at least he doesn't seem so effeminate, which is not not bad, but it's like I know guys who hate people who even you know are a little bit effeminate.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like if I shook his hand, I'd want to wash my hands afterwards. That's that's uh like I f feel like it would be a weird handshake, and I don't like I'm out.

SPEAKER_02

He would be the type of guy who like invites you to a beer and try to blow you. Exactly. Exactly. All time. Hey bud, would you like to get a sarsparella?

SPEAKER_03

Saspero.

SPEAKER_02

What's in a sarspirella? Talk about trans kids. What's in a sarsaparella? I don't know. Something gay. Well, yeah, I saw him driving that truck with a cowboy hat and his little faint beard on. I'm like, dude, you're trying to wait too hard.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What

Cartels, Guns, And The Surveillance Trade

SPEAKER_02

is this? Uh Mexico sells drugs because I need money to buy guns because I can't get them Mexico.

SPEAKER_00

So this is my uh You can kill a lot of people with a semi-auto AR-15. This is my hypothetical because I had like an eye-opening conversation with some friends of mine that are Mexican nationals that live over here now. And their kids were in school, like um here in Uvalde and have been for a while. And so they it's just interesting to get a different perspective as they grew up across the border, you know, and and and have family there and still have family and have businesses and ties to those communities, own property there, and and they really go back and forth. And so in a conversation one time, it's like, oh golly, it's like Mexico is like it's so dangerous, and you have these cartels in there. Like, well, we wouldn't have this car, we wouldn't have a cartel problem if y'all didn't have a drug problem.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_00

And the reason we have a cartel problem is because Americans have an insatiable appetite for drugs.

SPEAKER_01

We love it.

SPEAKER_00

And uh that's that's probably there's a lot of truth into that. Like if of course now it's such a huge part of the economy in this country, in that country, and globally, I don't think like it they've created a necessary evil in the in the drug market. Like so many those dollars come into legitimate business daily, and and legitimate business is dependent on it, and so many people derive their income uh through those illicit means. So uh it's it's here to stay. And the cartels are a a part of it, and what we see I think is the worst of the worst, you know, it's it's not like that. You go to Mexico, there's it's probably not that bad.

SPEAKER_02

I I've been across and I'm like, this is fine.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and and there there's bad ones as Trump would say, there's bad ombres everywhere. I mean, it's kind of cheap, but it's fine. But so the argument, like I was like, I will flip the script on this argument, and I know it's wrong, but it's just uh it just made me laugh, or not laugh, it just eh, I guess it did. But Mexico just like so there's an Mexico has cartels because the USA has an insatiable appetite for drugs, right? Don't disagree. What if I flip it and says Mexico uh just sells drugs because they need money to buy guns that are illegal in the in Mexico because they want to play with cool guns like you can do that?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, guns are the best. Although I get kind of tired of a gun. I'm like, I can't even use this every day. Over there, you can use it every day though.

SPEAKER_00

But you know what? Like, I will say we're American gun gun culture is insane.

SPEAKER_02

Did you see where they're gonna outlaw in Virginia and uh in the the number of uh background checks like almost uh tripled?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, every time I do that, it just puts more guns out. Yeah, but we have this right to guns, and everyone can have a gun, and here everyone does have a gun or is gun adjacent at all times. Yeah. Guess what? We are we are losing our freedoms. Like we're living in a I'm sitting here where a fucking security camera inside of my office is pointed right at you.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_00

I'm looking we're on the screen. We can see ourselves. Like we we're we have volunteered ourselves into a surveillance state. Yeah. Uh I don't uh we've given everything up but the guns.

SPEAKER_02

We're not giving those up. It's weird. It's I think it keeps us honest.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I like it.

SPEAKER_00

Did you know you could get a whole jalapeno at Whatabur?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I used to get these all the time. Dude, my mind was. I get a burger and uh what else do you want? Two whole jalapenos, por favor.

SPEAKER_00

I I ordered a deal with jalapenos, and I guess they didn't hear me correctly. And so they brought my burger and my fries, and I had another fry container. I was like, what the hell they give me like a in plastic, right? It was just a little like a small fry container.

SPEAKER_02

Um they give me little like crack bags.

SPEAKER_00

And uh that's like yeah, I've seen those at churches. But then I I opened it and I was like, they didn't put the jalapenos on my burger, they gave me a whole jalapeno. I looked at my receipt and it said instead of jalapenos, it said whole jalapeno. Do you think they're back there slicing goddamn jalapenos for every order, or they just have a jar of each?

SPEAKER_02

They have that pico fucking can or whatever, the Juanitos can.

SPEAKER_00

And they got one that's sliced and one that's whole.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, they have the thing of whole. It's like a bucket. Uh, Joe Tom used to have them in his restaurant.

SPEAKER_01

But I didn't know you could get.

SPEAKER_02

I was just yeah, well, does that make you happy?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I did. Yeah, it's good.

SPEAKER_00

I like options.

SPEAKER_02

I love jalapenos. What about those uh serranos? Those were I love a serrano. Those are fucking hot though, bro.

SPEAKER_00

They're good.

SPEAKER_02

They're oh, I want uh back to Ziggy's for a second. I want Ziggy to start a U Valley cricket team. Do they do cricket in South Africa?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

unknown

SPEAKER_00

Who's Henry Novak?

SPEAKER_02

He's that kid that got murdered in England. Do you see that? What do you do? Uh the Sikh, you know, you were talking about Sikhs, they have that little knife. Oh, yeah. Like Kafir or whatever, Kaspirit, whatever it's called. Well, he was like, this guy's like nuts. He's like a crazy Sikh, and he stabbed this kid in the gut. And um the cops showed up. They're like what happens? Like, oh, he's being racist to me, so I kind of got after it. He didn't tell me stabbed him. And and they and they uh they're like, what happened, mate? He's there, he's like, I've been stabbed. And the cops like, No, you uh, I don't believe you have, mate. And he handcuffed him and he died there in the street. And that's like the new like right wing fucking. It's the new George Floyd. Yeah. It was bad. But they arrested that guy and they put him in jail for like, I think the rest of his life.

SPEAKER_00

Damn.

SPEAKER_02

I want one of those little knives though.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I want one of those knives too.

SPEAKER_02

And I think I heard in Maryland that that they're gonna let him uh carry those like in school.

SPEAKER_00

Really? Because it's part of their culture. Damn. What if we get pistols with uh like the Virgin Mary's on the handles? I would love it.

SPEAKER_02

And I think that's what's what we should do. Pistols. You can carry a little knife. That that one time when I got pulled into the border patrol station in uh outside of Uvaldi, there was a turb guy with a turb seek. I wanted to ask him, like, do you have a little knife? I I didn't throw it too much of a. I want to see it.

SPEAKER_00

I want to see what this knife looked like. I'm imagining it looks like uh those uh games they put on the roosters to fight, like the pinch of gaffe. Yeah, and pinch of gaffes, like little gaffes.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's like a little curved blade.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I uh I saw that deal in the paper, and the what wasn't an Iraqi, an Algerian and a Moroccan like dignitaries visited the city of Yvaldi. Yeah, everyone's all mad. What do you think those like what those poor guys? Like, why did why would they send them here?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. They were like, it's the oil.

unknown

They want oil.

SPEAKER_00

Oil in fucking fucking enchilada oil? That's Greece, pal.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Grease, the Chodiza oil. Uh what was that? Why did they come here? Do we know?

SPEAKER_00

And they were just like here to say what's up to Joe Cardinals. He should have Skyped, bro. This seems like a waste of resources to me.

SPEAKER_02

I told some guys from Morocco, he's talking to me in the he asked me a question, I'm like, I don't speak English. And he started talking Spanish. I'm like, I don't speak Spanish. Yeah. Like, well, I speak, I'm from Morocco. I speak French. Yeah. Fuck you.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I don't know. I saw that and I was like, I don't get it. And that was in the same news paper article, like when they had all the cops are unhealthy.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But you and I we could potentially be cops. The most in-shape people on the force.

SPEAKER_02

Is it that bad? I haven't even noticed.

SPEAKER_00

There they had like this like scathing. It was like presented differently in a couple different ways, but I guess that they have to report it. But there's a standard for physical fitness. And the the officers in the department here, however many there are, I can't remember, 12, 16, 17, whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, there's not that many.

SPEAKER_00

All of them, none of them met the standard except one. And the one who met the standard like slit, like it was uh tie goes to the runner. It was a cunt hair away. Yeah. And uh, I'm not sitting here like bashing on them, like because I'm I'm of the same level, uh, the same level of uh in shapeness.

SPEAKER_02

If we pay them double, I'd be like, you're in you're gonna be like in the military. But well, they don't get paid that much.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm I'm I'm I don't hold to a high standard.

SPEAKER_02

You know why? Because it it's it's a small town in America. We don't need the we look theoretically, we don't need like a military-style police force.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just saying, like, as fat as cops are, I'm surprised more of them aren't shot because there's so much of them to shoot at. Yeah. Maybe that's what they should tell you in the academy, it was like, listen, Fatty. If there's less of you, less likely you'll get shot.

SPEAKER_02

That center mass kind of expands.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah. But people don't uh people don't harass a cop. Well, actually they do. So fuck.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not anti-local cop.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and I'm like, we get this front page news story about how the cops are out of shape. And like, I feel like the fucking cops here have become pinanas. Like, they're like, we gotta beat on these motherfuckers every day. Erica Kirk of fucking Uvaldi or something. And like, well, let's go to like any other town. Like if I got fat cops too. LePry? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Or wherever. Wherever. More Texas. Divine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Deal and um it's kind of one of these things like in vocational training, like that kind of work in in maybe not like in um being a plumber, but if you're gonna be an electrician, you're gonna be in power lines, you're gonna be in welders, yes. Um and like welding as far as plant work or pipeline work or around hydrocarbons, uh truck driving, you're gonna be even working on my scalp.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02

I haven't even thought about it. Plus a screw worm, plus a fucking screw worm. And I've looked online, the guy's like, yeah, I was using a grinder and a piece of metal in my eye, and they had to fucking drill it out. I had rust like growing in my eye. I'm like, well, I don't want to do that, dude.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, it's a and all the stuff we do, that's one of the things that we're like, you gotta wear the safety glasses. Let's get a face shield. And and when you do something every day, like you gotta kind of remind folks, like, hey, you gotta wear this stuff because you only get one set of eyes.

SPEAKER_02

You people white people now say racist things under their breath, and they might mean it or not, but it's the most chicken shit form of racism ever that's ever existed. People used to be racist and act on it. Now they just racist and they just like owned it. They used to own it.

SPEAKER_02

I would go through the drive-thru or maybe a few years ago. I have I don't go through the drive-through.

SPEAKER_00

There was like a 10-year period, like where every six months there was a beautiful young girl.

SPEAKER_02

At the window, and I'm like, look at this beautiful lady.

SPEAKER_00

And then she would be pregnant and then never seen again.

SPEAKER_02

No, I'd be pregnant, and then I'd see her driving like a brand new escalade around town, and then I'd never see her again. And then there's another one. Beautiful, pregnant, escalade, driving around, never see her again.

SPEAKER_00

They're just like a stash house full of mamas, mamasitas. Maybe, or maybe they're in Mexico. They're get the old boot scooting boogie.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but they had some good-looking women in there, but they're all like, and the owner's just like fucking.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, there was a while where you would go in there and you're like, love it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know about now though. Yeah. I bet if I went through the drive-thru in San Antonio and I saw some lady, I could like pick her up.

SPEAKER_00

And the I will say like the the ones that are well, they're from Mexico, they're just like a little different or whatever. What do you mean? It's like there's pretty there, they have pretty girls that work uh almost every restaurant in town, whether it's waterbird. Like there's a pretty here, like every restaurant. But like the ones at that restaurant, they're not local, like you hadn't seen them before.

I went to request them, and either I don't understand how to do it correctly, I gotta spend some more time researching, or in the system, they haven't like I haven't they've decided not to give me any yet, but I couldn't get any the other day when I got into that system, so I was kind of frustrated again.
