Comms and Opsec in the Coming Times
Adrian and Rob discuss how important communications and operational security are for being prepared...and we will look at recent examples of this from the other side.
I never cease to laugh at that video. Because that's it, that's the best we can do. Literally.
SPEAKER_09:If you guys want live shows, that is the best we can do.
SPEAKER_04:Yes. Yeah. Until YouTube either lessons its Gestapo like tactics, or we just go like X only or Rumble.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, for the live show, anyways.
SPEAKER_04:That's the only way we could do it. I mean, I can we can do stuff and get approved, but we can't do anything live. Yep.
SPEAKER_09:Oh man. So we uh we unintentionally called it last Friday. We did. Unfortunately. Unfortunately. Granted, apparently it wasn't big enough of a deal for either of us to uh no want to do it on Monday. No. Yeah, so we didn't have a show on Monday, everyone, because uh it was my seven. Well, he was a six-year-old. He became a seven-year-old on Monday, so it was my oldest birthday.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I mean because we I talked about this with you earlier in the day. I was like, man, I'm so tired of talking about Minnesota. Agreed. Yep. I'm just tired of talking about it. And because it's the same stuff happening over and over, and there's there's only so much we can go over. Like, there's nothing really new to share with y'all that is of any importance whatsoever. Now we are gonna go over some things that are kind of tangential to Minneapolis in that area tonight, and mostly it's about the organization that the left is doing that's far better than anything we are doing. Yes, they are way more organized than anybody on the right is.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, uh that was that was the big eye opener this week for sure.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I mean it's and then it that's that's not even though they're it's everywhere, which which means they're preparing for something way bigger to happen. Yep, they're laying the groundwork for a much larger insurgency to happen, and then on top of that, we have multiple police departments claiming they will not assist ice, which isn't good. That eat pancakes. Oh, trust me, he eats pancakes. I'm a pancake eater.
SPEAKER_09:I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest pancake fan.
SPEAKER_04:My kids love pancakes, so do mine, unfortunately. And if you're cooking pancakes for more than two people, you need a black stone. Yes, because otherwise, you're gonna be there for an hour doing enough pancakes for everybody. It takes forever on like one skillet. Unless you do like little dollar pancakes, then it's not worth it.
SPEAKER_09:Well, especially if they are if they want bacon or sausage with it too, or something, you know what I mean? The blackstone is is pro for breakfast.
SPEAKER_04:It's absolutely worth it, it's absolutely worth it. I think my wife got mine for me a couple years ago. Walmart was like a hundred and something bucks. It wasn't bad. Yeah, definitely worth it. And we put our, you know, I've gone through two tanks on it since then. Because I'll do I do burgers on it, and by the burger recipe I found was a little different than most people. So it's basically ground beef with bacon in it and cheddar, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Interesting. You mix it all together, and you and you just do smash burgers pretty much with it. It's amazing. The kids love it.
SPEAKER_09:We're not going there. Solitarious. We're not going there. What is it on about the black stone?
SPEAKER_04:Yes, yes, the Nigerian stone. It feels like a decade has happened this week.
SPEAKER_09:Well, we had the shooting of of the nurse on Saturday. Nurse. Um yeah. We had well, then we then the signal chats came out, and uh the Minnesota lieutenant governor was in there, the state senator was in there, a lot of other state employees were were found to be in there. Wall says he's never running for political office again. Probably because he's gonna be in jail, hopefully.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, they seize the Fulton County voting ballots. Yeah, and it now look at the sequence of events going on here. Okay, Monuro is snatched up blackbagged in the middle of the night. Like a week and a half later, the Dominion CEO or whatever it was was deposed, and he made some very interesting claims. Now Fulton County, their ballots have been seized.
SPEAKER_09:You the Smalley fraud uncovered in in Minnesota. The ice, you know, ice comes down. We know see all these government employees involved. Like, yeah, it seems like dominoes are starting to finally fall or something like that, don't you think?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:It um it's it's interesting to see how because I don't to be honest with you, I have no faith that anything will come out of this.
SPEAKER_07:Probably not.
SPEAKER_04:Now, if you'd asked me last term for Trump, if he'd have gone this hard in the paint with ice, I'd have said no, he's not gonna do that. He talks a good game, he just doesn't do it, right? And he seems to be doing it now. But then he'll turn around and and back check on himself and alienate his base when he talks about yeah, house price being one of them, his anti-gun stance is another. The fact that Bondi is still the attorney general. Like we we need to start seeing some arrests. Uh it's it's taking way too long. Don Lemon was arrested. It took it took almost that was more like a that was more like a weekend grinder app for him, wasn't he? No, like a weekend basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grinder camp.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, let's see what else happened. Hold on. We gotta answer and report your question. Why don't either of us look like we have eyebrows? I mean, they're there, but they're they're they're light.
SPEAKER_04:Look, I have gotten to the point in my life where when I go get my hair cut, I have to ask the barber to trim my ears and trim my eyebrows. Okay, that's just where I'm at in life. Right.
SPEAKER_09:So one time in high school for a dare, I shaved off the eyebrows. And it took my mom four days to notice. So that tells you how light my eyebrows are. Yeah. She was not happy when she did notice, though.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Yeah. My daughter's eyebrows were super light, and sometimes I'd think, like, did you shave your eyebrows off while my wife's looking? And then I'd look at her like, oh, she's good. She's they're still there. They're still there. Yeah, we're good. We're good.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I gotta thank Barrettus Catholic for this hat. He went out of his way to give this to me. Looks good. I like it. I like it. I'm a big hat guy. My wife does not like how many hats I have, but I like it.
SPEAKER_09:I am not a hat guy.
SPEAKER_04:You should be. You got a big head.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, but the curly hair, it's not comfortable under the hat. Why do you think they all wear little hats?
SPEAKER_04:I'm still gonna get you that yamaga.
SPEAKER_09:You keep saying, but Christmas is long gone at this point.
SPEAKER_04:It is, it is. I'm gonna get it for you, though. It's going to happen.
SPEAKER_09:No, I was not got I was not trying to go for a goth look in high school. But by the way, have you seen that that the based goth guy on Twitter?
SPEAKER_03:Yes, weird.
SPEAKER_09:It's weird in a kind of funny, good, interesting way.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know how to he's kind of like the counterbalance to what's somebody calling him Yosodomy Sam.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, right. You you have uh Hick Libs, yeah, and base gods. Yeah, when did that happen?
SPEAKER_04:And then you had that whole Amelia thing with the UK taking it.
SPEAKER_09:I don't know what's going on there.
SPEAKER_04:Where did that so I I watched a quick Asmund Gold video about it, and I don't watch him, I don't have kick or whatever he's on, yeah, yeah. But I just watched it on YouTube, and apparently it was like a propaganda video from the UK using her as one of the characters in it, and people turned it around and started making her like super based. She's very, very patriotic and wanting to kick out all the the bananas and rice, you know. That's where that comes from. It's hilarious. Like some of the I have seen some of the best memes over the last few days that I've ever did. You watch the uh faceless guy? The faceless guy.
SPEAKER_09:He's got the green ski the green ski mask.
SPEAKER_04:I I I didn't see I was laughing so hard watching that. Like I said, and I'm pretty sure it's AI. He kind of looks AI. Who are we talking about? Okay, I'll have to I'll take a look at the find the guy. Do y'all ever see those videos? It's usually on Instagram when I see it, where it's like the really crazy goth guy with the big hair, and he's doing covers of songs, usually in like very scenic areas. He reminds me of that guy. I don't know if you've ever seen him. Oh the the weird stuff that comes across my Instagram reel. What is the guy's name?
SPEAKER_03:I don't know his name, man.
SPEAKER_04:Just do like based goth guy. That's what he got.
SPEAKER_09:He goes, he goes by uh oh, this is so gay. He goes by Goth Daddy on Twitter. Looks like his name is Jake Munro. Jake Monroe. Okay, here we're gonna play this. Let's see. Because Anthony would never let me play this. Oh, this is gonna be good.
SPEAKER_00:I said on Twitter, never underestimate the female ego. Now, this isn't like a male ego whose existence of which is presumed. The male ego is presumed, which is why they hate men so much. They assume, presume a man has a gigantic ego. They hate this about a man because a man is right. Man is right to have an ego. We made everything. But people underestimate the female ego. They don't think it's there, they don't think it's real. They think ego is specifically a very masculine thing. The female ego is worse. It's more vindictive, it's more covert. It's usually mired in gaslighting. I'm actually a really great person, really. I'm thinking about everybody but myself. That's the female ego, willing to throw away entire civilizations just to look really good, to sleep better at night, to signal their virtues to the herd. Look at me.
unknown:Look.
SPEAKER_09:Look at me. He's 100% right. But I can't get past imagining that Victorian in goth makeup.
SPEAKER_04:I can't, he looks like the crow. That's what it watching that with the Jack. The original or the new one? Oh, I don't know. There's only the original. That's fair. Um with Bruce Lee's son, what was his name, branded Lee? Yeah. So that's funny because now that slides into oh, you're right.
SPEAKER_09:He does look like the yeah, he does look like the crow. Yep. So let's. And yeah, I yeah, for first, I don't know why, but I imagine Majorian in goth makeup.
SPEAKER_03:Alright, so then that slides into this.
SPEAKER_00:The guy stopped me after mass and asked for my number. No, my sister witnessed it.
SPEAKER_09:I know what's I am immortal. I am presumably still his friend.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know. Like I didn't want an election with him, and he and he and he accused me of ageism.
SPEAKER_09:He did. I was into that.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:That was that was good job, Taffy. Good job. Great job. Great job. I love all I love how Taffy packed that up, passed that off to Caleb to post.
SPEAKER_04:Did you so I didn't get the the Chris from Crash Cannon post? He was making fun of somebody for posting that video about a girl. I think it was Doyle.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, he was making fun of Doyle.
SPEAKER_04:Apparently, and it was some like it was some AI video about a girl, whatever I can remember it was. But I asked him, I was like, when are you gonna interview her?
SPEAKER_02:He's like, Oh, only only if she's on the web or something.
SPEAKER_09:He uh he got some heat from the Doyle fanboys, which I don't I don't understand at all.
SPEAKER_04:The the Doyle fanboys are a weird they're like if they're like if Nick Fuentes You're gonna get me in trouble with the groupers now, too, aren't you? No, no, like James or Doyle is more like a watered-down version of Fuentes, right? Who does in fact I would say Fuentes knows his faith and it has more balls way more than Doyle than Doyle.
SPEAKER_09:Doyle works for a Mormon. Yeah, almost I mean, Mormons are just Utah Jews, right?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, pretty much, or Utah Mountain Jews, you have the Jews are the desert Jews, and Mormons are the mountain Jews.
SPEAKER_09:That's right. Or the the they're the uh the white Muhammadans, that too, and yeah, that first video definitely uh yeah, matches that second video very well. Not the cov not the cavassos part, the tweet not no, yeah, just the tweet.
SPEAKER_04:The cavassos part was just funny, but yeah, it definitely matches the tweet because that crash out from that girl was she and she deserved every bit of it, every single bit, every single bit of it. I don't I don't fault Flentis at all for not getting married. Once I once I I don't want to hear him talk about marriage, but like who would want to bring a family into the just the turmoil that he's involved in? I don't blame him. No, I agree.
SPEAKER_09:It uh it would be imprudent.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, absolutely, especially now. Like if he was already married and then got big, that's a different story, right? But yeah, now as things are there ain't no way. I mean, I was reading an interview by Tom Homan earlier. He hasn't seen his wife since last March because he gets so many death threats, he can't be anywhere near them because he's afraid somebody's gonna hurt him.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, but well, Bovino's family's and basically protective custody too, like crazy. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:Nick can come on this show whenever he wants. I don't think he'll like me, but that's okay. Like he can come on here. I I think he's got a lot of good good to say. I just have some qualms with some of his opinions about other things, we'll say. And he's a good dude, don't get me wrong. Like, Nick's a good guy. He's just trying to, he's he's like every other Zoomer right now, trying to figure out their way in the world, yeah. Right, and and trying to get through this this mire that they're in and trying to figure the way on the other side of it. And he's just in a position where the thing he wanted to do most in life he can't do, so now he has to fall back on something, and it's I mean, to be fair, it's probably me and Anthony's fault that he'll never actually be able to be a politician. That's his own fault. You guys stop taking agency away from people, guys. He made those decisions, he knew what he was doing when he kept coming back on y'all's show.
SPEAKER_06:That's fair.
SPEAKER_04:We we were talking about both Knicks, Cavassos and Fuentes.
SPEAKER_09:I'm not yeah, I'm not sure even at this point, honestly.
SPEAKER_04:That won't be good for him. He needs no he doesn't have a skin enough that's thick enough for me to do that for him. And I feel like I could make him have one, right? But he's gonna hate me for a while. But eventually he's gonna figure out that ribbing men when we rib each other and we give each other a hard time, like in the Marines, right? It was it was commonly known that in the Marines we will make fun of you to your face and sing nothing but your praises behind your back, right? That was a that was a common occurrence. We talked about each other behind their back, but we would make fun of you straight to your face, and it some guys just they if they've been brought up by women or or a very soft father, or they've never been in the military, or any type of vastly male-dominated space, they don't understand that. Yeah, and it's hard for the it's unless you're in a position where you can't say anything about it and you just have to sit there and take it, that's the only way you can kind of be brought through that gauntlet. Because if you have the option to quit and just leave, you're never going to do it. And so, like in a job, you know, in these blue-collar jobs where you don't have an option because you this only job you can do that makes money, you're you're eventually going to get that thick skin and be able to to socialize with other men like that. But if you have the if you look at an office job and you know you run the HR anytime someone says that's a that's a little bit offensive, you're not gonna make it.
SPEAKER_09:You imagine being like a Zoomer employee, not used to having to deal with someone like Adrian, and you run the HR to complain, and it's me. Yeah, that'd be because uh because I do both accounting and HR.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that I mean I'm telling you, anytime where you depend on the labor of another man and the sweat equity of another man, like things change, the dynamic changes, and you be and you're able to not only are you able to depend on other men in a way that you can't in an office job, but you get to know other men in a much more deeper level because I when I used to work with my dad, and my dad was a plumber and he used to do remodeling and in bathrooms and stuff, and he'd have other men, you know, he'd hire other men to come help him with certain jobs if he couldn't do it by himself. And my dad would have deep theological, you know, style conversations while calling him gay. That's just and that's just how it worked.
SPEAKER_09:You he just described uh the average avoiding Babylon show. Yeah, that's why I watch you guys.
SPEAKER_04:That's exactly why. Yep, learn it in the in the fire department too. As y'all know, like I brought up before, when I was running my med unit on the fire department. Um if I was running a new EMT or like a student, that student knew by the time dinner was around that if he was welcome there or not. Because if I wasn't making fun of him, everyone else was like, Man, you need to find another station.
unknown:Right?
SPEAKER_04:Because I'm not making fun of you, I don't like you. If I'm not making fun of you, it's because you're just you you're just not someone that could be around that can handle it. But if I'm making fun of you, bro, you're good. You're welcome back anytime. Let's see. All right, do you we want to start getting into the links I sent?
SPEAKER_03:Let me pull up on notes.
SPEAKER_04:So we're gonna get into some of the organizational that uh organizational skills that the uh protesters in Minneapolis have been showing. And oh man, I forgot. And it's starting to spread to other cities. We're starting to see it in Colorado, we're seeing it out in California. So it it's a concerted effort uh across multiple states, which indicates a hierarchy.
SPEAKER_09:Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you are you telling me these aren't just locals that are just truly upset with ice?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm saying.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:You mean that they don't just need to stop eating avocado toast to make everything better?
unknown:Yeah, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Look, guys, so I help people with their finances every day. And I live probably in one of the most affordable states in the United States to live in, other than Mississippi. Right. The uh the amount of young men I know who are making probably$30,000 a year, and their health insurance is like a third of their paycheck. Just their health insurance is a single man. And then their rent's another third.
SPEAKER_09:At least another third.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. And then they have to do everything else with that other third. And they're the most highly taxed, right? Because they don't have any dependents. They're you know being taxed, you know, 10% of 30,000 is, you know, of just the federal level. You're looking at you're down now, you're down to 27, right? And then you take into account the state, that's 1,500. Well, now we got to take out Medicare and Social Security. Like you're by the end of all it's said and done, you're down to like$23,000 a year if you make$30,000, right? And then you're paying a thousand ten thousand dollars a year in medical for health insurance that you're required to have. Yeah, but you don't have a choice. Eating ramen noodles in baloney is about the only option they have. Just to get by and have enough gas and car insurance, and you're on if you're under 25, you got to pay for car insurance on your own, too. And you're paying those, and and let's get it straight, everyone's paying younger than 25 car insurance now. Yeah, it's crazy because the amount of illegals who get in car accidents that don't have any insurance is causing everybody else's rates to jump up. This is not a matter of avocado toast. This is not a matter of$14 lattes, this is not a matter of you know, a$20 case of beer every other day. It's nothing to do with that, is they can't even, you know, anybody younger than 27, really, right now, is having a hard time just meeting basic needs on a decent paycheck, uh, just because everything's so expensive and it's going to get worse. I don't know if y'all saw the the sell-off for gold and silver today, but that was a I I'd expect by Monday, because the markets are closed right now. I expect by Monday, Monday afternoon, we're gonna y'all remember when we talked about this a few like a month ago, there's a bank going under. I wouldn't be surprised if they go under on Monday. I'm not saying it will, but with what happened today, that kind of leans that way. So things are going to get bad, real bad. And then we might strike Iran this weekend.
SPEAKER_09:And I was gonna say, yeah, we might, yeah. Things are getting like things are accelerating while Iran, China, and Russia are holding joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. So things are things are getting way bad, way faster than we wanted to. All right, let me pull, I'll pull up the links this time.
SPEAKER_09:Gold was down, I want to say like 15 silver was down what 30, 30. Yeah, it went from one plan to be four. Platinum was 20, palladium was like 20.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, the gold market lost five trillion dollars in value in one day, and that's mostly the speculation it is mostly due to one bank who had a massive short option on silver, and and supposedly they are now insolvent, and it's a massive bank. We're talking 2008. Yay, so we'll see how things you know. Maybe they'll be able to put some more bubblegum and duct tape on it over the weekend, but I think by Monday we may see some hard stuff. All right, so let's I'm gonna share this real quick. So, as Rob alluded to earlier, we saw with the signal gate that happened that a lot of high-profile people were involved in the signal chat that was the organization organized organizers were using in Minnesota. One of them is the lieutenant governor, Peggy Fighting. She looks like that chick from what is that show?
SPEAKER_03:It was like a uh what was her name?
SPEAKER_04:She was in that it was like a high school choir show. Glee? Glee, yes. She looks like that chick from Glee.
SPEAKER_09:Is Signal Joe's asking, who do you think made signal? Telegram's the Russian one, right?
SPEAKER_04:Signal was funded by the CIA. Yeah. That's a hard-known fact. We know that for a fact. Signal has a board of directors, and signal does not cost money. Why does an organization that is not set up as a nonprofit who does not make money have a board of directors?
SPEAKER_09:Peggy Flanagan used to go to St. Agnes in St. Paul. Are you serious? I know the the trans shooter of Annunciation also went to St. Agnes and St. Paul, but that's uh that's a solid pair. That's a T L on pair, so that's weird.
SPEAKER_04:So she was found to be one of the admins, which means this is goes all the way to the top. And then we have this little little nugget that happened as well. Let me remove that. Let me add this one. And guys, this is what happens when you have two people that know how to be techie.
SPEAKER_09:It's crazy. I'm not doing everything.
SPEAKER_04:He doesn't have to do a thing. All right, so zero hour, which is kind of a dubious source himself. Anyone who has look at this, changed his name 31 times since you know he's the inception of his account. Like there's some weird stuff going on there. But anyway, they have they are capturing license plates and creating a database of everyone's license plates and whether they're ICE or not, which is one, illegal. But two, it also means that there are likely police officers involved in these groups. Yes. Right? And they are looking up these license plates.
SPEAKER_09:Now, did you see what it what happened today though? What with the stop ICE website?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, they yeah, and they they hacked it and got the list of all the users, and they said they sent it to the FBI. And I mean, who knows if that'll do anything?
SPEAKER_01:Let's see if I can get this up here.
SPEAKER_09:So yeah, they were using a website called stopice.com. Someone hacked into it, put this on the main page, saying, We sent your names, logins, passwords, and locations to a bunch of government agencies, and then the names of the people who set up the server are are right there. And then apparently they had that same server start sending out text messages to everyone. What's the say? You're it's so it's from it's from the compromise and sent to the authorities because the the the website the idea of of it would notify you if ice was in your area, so you had to give them your phone number, so they used it to start texting every everyone out this message, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I mean it we're starting to see right sided, and I hate using that term, but like yeah, yeah, and I don't want to use Patriot because that's so overused, too. It is, but uh I might have to think of a better term for them, but more more hackers on the on the right side because anonymous is super liberal, right? And they're they're kind of the big name that everybody knows, but like the guy who found the Scotty, whatever his name is, the Osada Me Sam guy, you know, his little group found out where a lot of stuff about him and was sending it out as well, and that's how we know some of the stuff that's coming out about him. Supposedly there's some more alleged stuff that's gonna come out that's way worse. And then on top of that, we have the group that is going around in Minnesota doxing a lot of the organizers and doing front door checks, which is always funny.
SPEAKER_09:That is fun. I'm not gonna say six seven. Why would you say six seven?
SPEAKER_03:Don't say six seven. What's six seven? Don't say it.
SPEAKER_09:All right, better than the the other thing they always want me to say.
SPEAKER_04:Who do you remember uh when Tim Gordon was using the term niggardly? Yes, they kept getting they kept using it over and over, and people are like, You can't say that word. Like, what are you talking about?
SPEAKER_09:Stop being so niggardly with your language.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly. Guys, come on now. All right, so I thought this was interesting. Area denial. A lot of protesters in in Minneapolis and across the United States are using caltrops to deny areas, they're getting either hard rubber hose and putting screws through it, or they're using small half-inch PVC and putting nails through it in order to tear up people's cars so they can't drive through there, which is a lot easier to do that than a lay down on a road. Yeah, a lot safer for them too. Yeah, I'm just waiting for the oil slick to be laid down and then like the painted tunnel on a break.
SPEAKER_09:Or banana peels.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, banana peels. Yes, we're that won't be good. I saw Longhouse Preparedness put out a tweet that we are now apparently putting pies in windows so the left can float in a wave-like fashion uh to the smell of the pie, and then we can capture them with a net.
SPEAKER_09:I heard that ice agents were going up to them saying, Hey, look down here. Then you look down there as them doing this, they punch you right in the arm. Classic, classic.
SPEAKER_04:All right, uh let's see. All right, so here's uh on the plate captures. I mean, I guess I was finding all kinds of stuff on Monday. It was when we were supposed to have a show on Monday before Rob decided he his children were more important to him than the show. Like, I was finding all kinds of stuff. So let me pull this up.
SPEAKER_09:There was a lot on Monday, and it's like, man, it's gonna be a good job. I'm like, oh wait a minute. It's oh yeah.
SPEAKER_04:By the way, I'm a good father, so I should probably celebrate my kid's birthday. So this this is just showing where y'all can see this, right? No, nope, I need to add the stage.
SPEAKER_09:See, look, it's okay, it's okay. I've done it.
SPEAKER_04:Anthony did it up. Wearing a handchemile mask. And you should point to everything with syrup. That'd be great. So this is just an example of a lot of the plates they were capturing, taking notes and such, and uh getting it checked. They have somebody in the police department that was running these, which is crazy illegal. And what's even crazier is it's not hard for them to find out who did a check on that plate.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it logs all that information.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so they just kind of out themselves, which is insane.
SPEAKER_09:I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of charges coming down.
SPEAKER_04:I hope there'd have to be because it's just these people are too stupid, at least the people at the bottom. Like the people organizing this are obviously very intelligent, and they have a lot of experience in in um counter uh insurgency operations and and organization skills, but the a lot of these guys at the grunt level, man, they are just so dumb. They just do the dumbest stuff.
SPEAKER_09:There's been no no natural selection yet, right? That's one thing, like after you know, like years of combat, like it does weed out this the stupid ones, yeah. And they haven't had that yet, so all the dumb ones are still there.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I mean, they lost a dumb one on Saturday, but now that we learn more about him, we're finding out like he's he was probably trying to do suicide by cop. And that he got exactly what he wanted. Yeah, it does seem that way.
SPEAKER_09:So that's the plates, and their their playbook, their actual literal playbook that they probably had written with Minnesota taxpayer dollars, calls for them creating what they call flashpoints, where there can be violence and and you know shootings and things like that, because they want that, contrary to what you know, certain boomer trades will tell you, they actually are trying to create lawlessness in disorder. Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04:And and that's to create disillusionment with the institutions, right? So people stop depending on the police or the justice system. And anywhere you have a large population of people, it makes it much easier through you know just natural anonymity of living in the cities, of being able to implant people in positions of power because you can use voting against itself and pay people to people to stuff ballots and things of that sort to get people in power that you want. So now that that's what we see judges stepping out and just making just crazy rulings on stuff, and just makes no sense. Like Don Lemon getting released with no bail, right?
SPEAKER_09:Did he get released with no bail? Huh? He got released with no bail? Yeah, no bail for Don Lemon for someone who has the ability to travel to anywhere elsewhere in the world. Yeah, that's wow.
SPEAKER_04:Yep, no bail, things like that. Or, you know, Luigi Mangioni, the judge in his case, has basically dismissed like most of the charges. Yep, death penalty's off the table now.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, so like the day after someone tries to break him out of prison.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so that these judges or activist judges who are elected through a very mistrusted manner now, and they're able to implement things to create even more chaos, which is the goal. Because if they create chaos, then people are gonna ask for an authoritarian to come in and save everything, whether it's the right or left. The right were saying, hey, enforce law and order. On the left, they're like, break it all down so we can take it over, right? One way or another, we're gonna get an authoritarian. You either get Lenin or Franco. Yeah, we have to pray that it's a Franco. Yeah, right, and it can't be Trump, it's it will not be Trump.
SPEAKER_09:It's one of those things that starting to really frustrate me about people like well, like Michael Matt, like Steve Cunningham, like we don't survive this, we don't win this without a Franco. You know what I mean? Like, like you you can stand on your your your principles of limited government and everything like that, and then that's all well and good, but but what's wrong with winning, I guess. You know what I mean? Like, I don't get it, because everything you're afraid of a right-wing authoritarian doing, you know, maybe doing is something that the a left-wing authoritarian is definitely gonna do. So what I don't I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:It's a matter of the guys like Michael Matt and Cunningham and you know, guys like Eric Erickson, right? They don't recognize the battlefield, right? They they think the game hasn't even started yet, right?
SPEAKER_09:They're and the and the game started seven years ago, if if not long before that, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:But it's accelerated to the point where it was recognizable seven years ago, right? Yeah, and yeah, because we can always go, this goes back to Ab and Eve. Like, no, there at some point to affect us, there's a there's a line within recent history we can point to where things kind of went off the rails, but they don't recognize what's going on, they can't read the room, right? They still think we can go back to the days when you could be a libertarian, people leave you alone. It's way past that. These people have no desire to leave you alone, they want to kill you, right? That there's no leaving alone anymore. There's no way to go back and just live on your quiet suburban town and raise your kids playing you know baseball, and you know, they go to the prom, you get to watch it walk them down, you know, see them walk it down the graduation, and they're that's gone. We we are in the midst of the country becoming unrecognizable in the next four years, if not earlier, because things accelerated that this week way faster. Like this, I don't it goes back to the gold and silver issue. That has that by itself is an indicator that we have sped up incredibly fast. Because if if that starts to climb again and we go past the previous plateaus we just had, that means our currency is about that means the dollar's failing. The dollar, yeah, exactly. Which is, and I think that's what Trump recognizes, and that's why he's trying to enforce you know Monroe Doctrine 2.0, because he's trying to hedge up everything and have it on our side of the of the world. You know, I was listening to TJ Morris from from Bear Independent today, and you know, his theory is that by Monday we could see central bank digital currency roll out, and they'll use that to get rid of the national debt eventually, and but all of our money's worth nothing at that point. If you can just create digital currency out of nowhere, like there's nothing tangible that you can hold on to, the game's over. Yeah, we're we're we go from uh using CBDC to buy our staples, and then we're bartering for everything else. I'm trading you ammo for you know food or something, you know. That's where it will go. You'll have two market systems. So yeah, I mean, just so our currency is digital because just think of all the people who use their phone and just double tap the button and scan it everywhere.
SPEAKER_09:There's not that many dollars in print, you know, for as many dollars as supposedly exist in the world.
SPEAKER_04:Civil war is a very loaded term, right? Like Mike Mike Shelby says, and you know, he we are in a low intensity conflict already. This will and and you'll hear every video on YouTube, every prepping channel, whatever, talking about that we won't be in a blue versus gray civil war. And I've never heard no one seriously that follows this stuff and is like kind of looking at the tea leaves thinks that's gonna be what the situation is. It's only like your Fox News boomer grandpa, who thinks like you know, Alabama is gonna be Alabama against Illinois or whatever. That's not gonna what's gonna happen is it's gonna be very urbanized Democrat areas against very rural conservative areas. Um you're going to see conflict in urban areas, and a lot of those battles will and the people who partake in those battles will go out to the rural areas to get rest to go back into the urban areas and fight some more.
SPEAKER_09:Uh you'll see targeted assassinations of people in power, you know, judges and attorneys, and it's gonna be a lot more like the Spanish Civil War than the American Civil War. Oh, yeah, where you have more than just two sides, you know, in the Spanish, you had you had the the Falange, you had the Carlists, you had the Anarchists, you had the so-called Republicans, you know, in loose alliances at different times, you know, it gets messy.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. And so it's it's going you're going to start seeing judges found dead on their doorstep, and you're going to start seeing politicians uh, you know, hit with cars. You're going to see car bombing start going off. And it's it and but it's you're still gonna go to work. You're still gonna go to your job every day because it doesn't really affect you. You just may not be able to take one route to work one day because there's a vehicle-borne IED that went off that morning on that route. You might just have to take a detour. You're still going to work, though. The world will still in the country will still keep moving because it won't be an all encompassing conflict. If we get to an all encompassing conflict, that's probably going to be from an outside agitator, whether it's the cartels or China, Russia, whoever. So it I it just it just drives me up a wall every nose. See some of these videos, and they're like, it's not gonna be north versus south and army against army. Like, no, it's gonna be way worse than that. It's gonna be way worse than that. Because at least in you know a two-army situation, you know who the enemy is. This is you're gonna be enemies with your neighbors, yeah, in a civil war that we're coming up to. So you better get to know your neighbors so they don't shoot you and take your stuff.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, it's it's we need to disabuse ourselves of the notion that that the right is gonna wipe the floor with the left. Because be irregardless of where state power comes down on this, I think this week, regardless, yeah. I'm sorry, regardless of where state power comes down on this. I think this last week shows us the left, they're better organized. Yeah, and they are they are more armed than we maybe would have liked to have thought, and they are better trained than we would have liked to have thought, largely. The you know, the the the fat, gay, trans people you you see making fool of themselves online with weapons they just bought. I'm sorry, that's that's not what you need to worry about.
SPEAKER_04:You know, and not only that, but that gun can still kill you.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:They don't have to run up a hill and overtake a gun bunker and then have to fight off a you know platoon of right-leaning, you know, anybody's right? It's they just have to shoot you from their car and then drive away. Okay, that gun can still kill you. And they are vastly more organized than we are, and that's mostly because they don't work, they can organize all the time. That becomes their job. And it's also a matter of they find safety in an overarching government to take care of them, so they want to uh protect that government.
SPEAKER_09:They're also just generally collectivist, in where most of us are individualist, for better or worse, on both sides. But and like the whole uh the whole criticism of calling them paid protesters, like it for the most part, they're not most of them are not getting directly paid by some shadow organization. Who do you think's all on you know different forms of government welfare? You know, they're getting paid by the government to not work so that they can do things like this.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and that's why it's so important that the funding is cut off from a lot of these NGOs and USA and such. And the problem is a lot of it's being turned back on. You know the uh the US a lot of the USAI funding was taken away, but some of it got turned back on after a year. So it's it's not gone away. They're now starting to get some of their funds back, which means the organization like it's it's still cold, guys. When it warms up, cities are gonna burn.
SPEAKER_09:The only reason this has stayed largely like less violent than than 2020 so far is that it's been January and it's been a kind of a cold January here in Minnesota.
SPEAKER_04:It's cold down here, and we've got our anti-ice protest down here in Alabama too. In fact, I was coming, I was going to return it the other night, and some protester had gone on an overpass on 65 and 20 in downtown Birmingham, you know, says to stop ice violence. And and then I think they I think some heard somebody tell me that they were blocking traffic on the off ramp from 65 south to getting on 20 west. So even here in Birmingham, we've got it a little bit. Now it doesn't last. Like Birmingham, even though Birmingham is very Democrat, they're like old school Democrats, they're still a long older Democrats mostly down here. We haven't had as much influence by your Soros type DAs down here. Now, that's not to say that I'd want to have to use my firearm in Jefferson County where Birmingham's at, because I will go to jail and like they will come after me with the full weight of the law, even if it's a self-defense situation. But they also don't they don't deal with property damage down here. So it's it's a matter of understanding that the only thing holding it back right now is one, there's a population of people that have not got involved yet. Yes, and two, it's cold.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. All right, let's see if I had any other notes. Oh, this is a good one. Let me pull this one up.
SPEAKER_04:So I don't know if y'all remember during COVID when they people were getting debanked during COVID for having the wrong opinions.
SPEAKER_03:But is that uh that's you, let me do mine. Here mine, I got it. Boom.
SPEAKER_04:All right, we have individuals that work at US Bank who are in a lot of these groups who and who are likely giving information about people's banking accounts to other leftist protesters, which means she's looking up what's in your account. She can freeze your account for fraud for you, so you can't use your card anymore. Right. This is this is like a reverse fight club going on right now. Like they're everywhere, and they are not afraid to use their positions to cause mayhem at all.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, it's I mean, just the fact that the guy on Saturday was a nurse, right? It makes you wonder who you're putting your your literal life in the hands of when you go in for medical care.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. There was a uh VCU nurse, Virginia Commonwealth University nurse, who put a video on TikTok, I think, claiming that she was going to give embolisms to anybody who was MAGA or ICE or whatever. You know, and these people are like they're in hospitals everywhere. Someone most nurses worst people in the world, like that, like a lot of them have no moral or very loose morals, right? A lot of them do. There are some good ones. My wife was a nurse, right? For a while, yeah. Yeah, she's a stay-at-home mom now. She, you know, but a lot of the women that I used to know as nurses when I was a paramedic, horrible people, just like degenerate and just had and their their values were non-existent. But then now, since this situation's happened, they're all a lot of them are very left-leaning. And so now they're threatening to not take care of people, right? There's there's no there's no desire to to take care of people regardless of their politics anymore, right? The Hippocratic Oath is out the door. It's not is non-existent, and we have some doctors doing it too. Yeah. Which now, once she said that, I wonder if they went back and looked at everybody she take care she took care of, to see if there's any unexplained deaths.
SPEAKER_09:That's a good point.
SPEAKER_04:And do not represent the rest of us.
SPEAKER_03:I know it's bad.
SPEAKER_04:I gotta take my boy to get a haircut this weekend. That's always fun. We had a couple of questions there that I want to bring up. Okay, let's see. You guys talk about comms. If you have$35, get your GMRS license. Okay, it's good for the whole family. It's a frequency center side for groups, families to communicate when there is no good sales service. Yeah, absolutely. GMRS is worth the the money. Is it$35 now? I feel like I paid$10. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I have so much money, 35 feels like$10. I don't. In fact, my tech just expired, and I don't think I'm gonna renew it. Because I mean, to be honest with you, the FCC has no teeth anymore. Okay. If somebody's gonna use the radio, especially in a time of emergency, which is when I'm gonna use it. Otherwise, I use GMRS. Like around my property, I use GMRS for everything. I just for the kids, like if I'm out in the yard or if I'm milking the cows or whatever, I have one radio. My kids have another radio inside. And if they need something, they just call to me over the radio. And we're using GMRS. But yeah, comms are an absolute. I found a new channel earlier today that I'm gonna watch some videos, and I seem to like the first one. The guy was talking about encrypted comms using the new Bao Fang DM32, because apparently it has the capability of using encryption, which is kind of a you know, you're not supposed to, but it's coming from China type thing. So it might be interesting to get into that and look at how that how that works. And I might look at some of the videos and see if we can't go over some of the stuff he talks about here, too, because that I saw a couple other videos I wanted to watch of his and just kind of test him out. And he seems like he seems like on the level. You know how you watch some of these channels, and these guys are obviously like they've taken like one shooting lesson, and now they think they can teach everybody how to shoot, yeah. Right? Or the same guys who like were a Cub Scout at one time, so now they're gonna tell everybody how they can do bushcraft or whatever. Yeah. The guys I like the best are the guys who are not trying to push the most expensive gear on you, right? Just get something that's good enough. You know, like one of my pet peeves is guys who get a Glock and want to upgrade everything on it. Like, brother, you're not a good enough shooter yet. You don't need to upgrade anything on that thing until you can outshoot the gun. And then you're probably gonna need a new gun because that thing's shot out because you put 50,000 rounds through it. You might as well just get a new gun because it'll be cheaper than replacing all the parts on it. And then next one you just replace everything on it, or guy specifically replaced the trigger. You're not a good shooter to work on the trigger, like having a much better trigger with a you know, much stiffer wall and less travel, like it's not gonna affect you whatsoever. You can't shoot well enough. Get something that's good enough for now, and then if you need if you out train past it and you need something better, do it right. So, or you know, buy surplus stuff instead of buying all this Gucci gear from Pharaoh or you know um Spiritus or whoever, like buy some surplus stuff, man. That's what we use in the Marines, and we messed everybody up. We have any Gucci gear in the Marines, we're tearing people up left and right, right? So a lot of these channels, like that's why I like PNW Gorilla. I like guys like Brush Beater, because they're just no nonsense. They're like, get out, just get out there and train, right? And get it, get a cheap, what is that really cheap AR, Bear Creek Arsenal? Uh get a really cheap Bear Creek Arsenal rifle. You're not gonna outshoot it, right? You just need something that's minute of man, right? And then when you get a better shot, get a better rifle and save yourself the time. It's better for you to spend 500 bucks on a rifle and a thousand dollars on ammo than a than the vice versa, right? So this guy seems like one of those channels. He's kind of he's on the level, he's he's he's got a lot of common sense about him. So I'm gonna let watch a bunch of his stuff and I'll report back to y'all on how it is.
SPEAKER_03:What's this other? Oh, this is a good one. I want to hear your take on this. Oh man.
SPEAKER_09:That's tough because there's there's like the ideal ideal, and then there's like what's actually possible today. And they are wildly different in both cases, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:Like so let's do this. Give your ideal and then give your realistic.
SPEAKER_09:You know what I mean? Yeah. Realistic, like it that it's gonna depend on so much. You know, if you're if you are a a trad Catholic and you you grew up trad and grew up, you know, in a trad parish with you know, members of the opposite sex that are also trad that you've known your whole life, then sure, then maybe you can start at 18 now too. If you're you know, if you're a a Zoomer and that grew up like you know, almost everyone else in the secular country, and you are just finding your faith and coming to it, and then I don't know, man. Then maybe maybe you should maybe you should try to find a religious vocation instead. It might be easier. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I'll say so people who are watching this show are either are are likely serious about their faith, whether they're Catholic or not, and are likely a little bit more down to earth. Right. So I'll speak to that fact. The the guys who you know from that audience. I think the the best time that the best time to court somebody, if you're if you're if you're capable of supporting a family, and you do I'm gonna be honest with you, you don't need a lot of money. You don't you$35,000, you just can't live near where your parents are, right? Because they're gonna they've accrued 30 years of of equity, they've accrued 30 years of promotions at work, right? Do not expect to have what your parents have now, right? But you can survive and do fairly well on$35,000 a year, but you're gonna have to live out, right? Even here in Birmingham, you're you're gonna have to live a little bit out because one, it's gonna be better for you and your wife. I mean, I'm speaking to the men that you know I don't think we have any women watching right now. Ms. Casey's dying here.
SPEAKER_01:Aunt Jemama.
SPEAKER_04:Uh uh is that really a girl? I don't know. But uh but uh you need to separate from your families anyway for a little bit, right? For example, my wife and I, when we got married, we were married for a day, and we moved her to North Carolina where I was stationed. And I need proof, I need proof, I need like a voice or something. But we had to move to North Carolina because that's where I was stationed, because that because I had to get back to work, right? Like I was in a very highly deployable job, and that was one of the best things for us because if we got in a fight, we couldn't run back to each other's families, but we had to work it out, we had to figure it out. Uh, we didn't have an option, and we got through a lot of like I was just immature, right? I was even at 27 when I got married, I was immature, and you know, she deserved way better than me. Send a pick of your car rims for proof, but for a lot of guys now, man, the earlier you can get married, the better. You can there's no such thing as finding out who you are before you get married, you need to grow with your wife, yeah, right? And you need to be having children early because for a couple reasons, and a lot of them are biologic, but one, you can go without sleep a whole lot easier in your earlier 20s than you can you are when you're 38.
SPEAKER_09:I will I fell asleep on the chair at 8:30 last night, unintentionally, it just happened.
SPEAKER_04:I've done that. I had I had my youngest when I was 38 years old, and I mean I'm used to dealing without sleep, you know. My two jobs I've had in the Marines and the fire department, I I was accustomed to it, but most 38-year-olds can't do it. We'll get to that. We'll we'll get to that. So, but uh have kids young, man, because one, you will never be financially ready for a kid. I don't care how much money you have, you will never think you're financially ready. Two, you can deal with a lower quality of food when you're younger a whole lot easier than when you're older. So if you're so poor you need to eat nothing but ramen noodles and baloney, right? But your kids get some food, right? You can deal with that a whole lot easier when you're in your 20s as well.
SPEAKER_09:And you know what? They're largely gonna just want to eat ramen noodles and baloneys for a long time.
SPEAKER_04:Vienna sausage and beanie weenies, you know, whatever you need to do. But have your kids young, man, because if you start having your kids when you're like 20, by the time you're 40, you've probably got nine or ten kids if you're actually you know listening to the Lord and and taking what he gives you. Uh, by the time you're 40, you've got a 20-year-old running the house now, and they're helping out a lot. Yeah, and you you're all your kids are probably out of the house by the time you're 50. And now you and your wife, with all your kids, now have a bunch of grandkids you can help out with, and you can be around for that. Now, what's the realistic opportunity for a lot of you guys? It's dark, man. It's you know, I I will echo Anthony's and and Rob's previously stated opinions on don't go for a girl in a in the trad parish. Most likely not, unless you know their family, right? Unless you know who they are. Like our parish is is great because I've got three girls and I've already got like three or four guys picked out. Like, you're on the list, you're on the list, you're on the list. I'm not above an arranged marriage. I'm gonna tell you, I've got 40 acres. I can give you four acres and a donkey, it's not a hard problem, right? But it's a matter of staff. Oh, you're good. Okay, good. I was like, nobody's uh this nothing was moving. Man, but if you if you know the families of church, start you know, getting to know them, invite some of these families to dinner with you as well as you have kids, so you can set them up for better than what we have. But in the meantime, man, you're better off finding like a conservative Protestant girl and converting her. And I like I'm not even a big fan of a lot of Novos Ordro parishes, because those are some of the most feminist women that I've met.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I mean, I I neither you or I would are huge fans of mixed marriage in the sense of religion, but absolutely I agree with you. Like at this point, like the beliefs around feminism is probably more poisonous than the Protestantism, in a sense, you know what I mean? Like, if they have a proper view of of of relations between the sexes and and what properly ordered homes should look like in their Protestant, that's gonna be easier in the long run for you to deal with than trying to you know get rid of 20 plus years of feminist programming.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and it it's easier to convert a Protestant to Catholicism than to convert a feminist to Catholicism, especially if that feminist already claims to be a Catholic.
SPEAKER_03:Like it's just not gonna happen, man. There's a there's a good comment up here that I wanted to bring up.
SPEAKER_04:Or is it there's one, so you should be growing with your spouse. Like, don't wait till you're 30 and she's you know 32 as well, right? And y'all get married, you start having kids, because now you've got a bunch of baggage that you all have to get past. My wife will tell you about mixed marriages. My wife was not Catholic when I in fact, I really wasn't Catholic either. I strayed from the faith, but I'm gonna turn this eater down. I'm starting to cook over here. Turn me over them. But my wife wasn't Catholic, and you know what? I'll tell y'all my conversion story real quick. Y'all got time. We got like 45 minutes. So I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic schools on and off throughout my life when my dad could afford it. I went to an all boys Catholic high school for a few years. And when I was about 24, I moved to Florida just to get away, you know. I wanted to I was in I've been living in Louisville, Kentucky my whole life, and wanted to move to Florida just to see something different. Got down to Florida and I quickly realized like I need to do something with my life. This is I'm not going. So that's when I joined the Marines. Met my wife while I was in Okinawa. She was, I met her on MySpace, for those of y'all old enough for that. Talked to her for about like a year and a half before I came back to the States. We had like a girl run romance, got married in like five months. While I was in the Marines, I deployed within like a year and a half of getting to North Carolina. I was in a very hard deployment. I saw a lot of firefights. I should have died during that deployment. When I came back, we started going to church. I was like, I because I had like I had a little bit of free time in between missions during that deployment. So I read the Bible, like table of contents to maps. But it was a Protestant Bible. So I was missing seven books. So I guess I didn't really read the whole Bible. But we get back and I was like, well, we need to start going to church. So we started going to a non-denominational church. I didn't care. I was kind of universalist agnostic at the time.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And we're going to this church. I go a deploy again. I come back. We have my daughter end up getting out of the Marines. We moved to Georgia where I became a firefighter. And we started going to a non-denominational church. And we were very serious about it. We went every Sunday. We made every you know, we and every Sunday. We didn't ever try and watch it online or anything. And I started going to a small group for veterans. And then I started leading the small group for veterans. And we had a conversation one day in this small group talking about the early church, like the you know, the house church. And I was like, man, we've got a gotta have some of the writings by like these early Christians, so we can kind of like you know, how do they worship and all that? You know, what do they do? Do they have a band up front, you know, singing the same verse for 34 minutes or whatever? Like what how they do it? Same repetition, my ass. So I I started doing YouTube searches, and I came across a guy by the name of Scott Hahn, and I I saw his conversion tape. So I started listening to that in between you know calls one day at the fire station. I was like, this is you know, this sounds pretty good. So then he brought up like Ignatius of Antioch, and I was like, okay, who's that? So I look up Ignatius of Antioch and I started reading readings by Ignatius of Antioch, and then I move on to Polycopper Smyrna. And at this point, I'm like, oh no, this is really Catholic. This is not good. Because like these guys are like 40 years after the death of Christ, 50 years after the death of Christ. Yeah, and these are the right. Then I read the Didique, which is like 65 AD or so.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, it's super Catholic, literally predates the gospel of John.
SPEAKER_04:This is not and I like I don't want to be Catholic because Catholicism in the South is hard. You're you're a very small minority, and it's I just don't want and not only that, but my wife's not Catholic, and I know this is gonna cause issues. I was like, so you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna research. If I can find one thing that the church teaches that's not true, I don't have to be Catholic. Simple. There's no way. Famous. Yeah, it was so uh a little dark side to me researching back to the uh the faith. The you know, the man that I most credit for my reversion is Michael Voris. Michael Voris was running it was Taffy. Get this it was so Michael Voris ran was doing a show called The One True Faith, and it was basically like an hour of catechesis, and there was like 80 videos, right? And I ate it up, and and and one and I couldn't get enough of it, you know. I had to watch it as much as couldn't get enough Michael Voris. Couldn't get enough of Michael Voris. But you know what? What I needed at the time was I needed a two by four.
SPEAKER_09:You need Michael Voice.
SPEAKER_04:I need yes, I needed Michael Voores to hit me with a two by four in the face, right? And that's what I need, and so from there I started you know researching harder. So then I sit down once you know Saturday. I my wife was coming home from shift or something, she was a nurse at the time. And I sat her down and was like, you know, well, I need to I need to start going back to mass. And we had my oldest daughter and my son at the time. That was it. That was all the children we have the point. And and my wife was she was distraught to say the least. She uh she told me she felt like I was becoming Muslim because that's what she knew. Like she she knew one Catholic growing up, and they didn't really practice at the time, right? So, and I was thinking, oh no, like that's what I have to work against. She thinks like I'm comparable to a Muslim. So I started going to the Catholic Church in my local town and I started talking to the priest, and I was like, Well, what do I need to do to get start taking, you know, going get in communion and everything? And he was like, Well, are you married? I'm like, Yeah, he goes, Did you get it through the church? I was like, No, you know, he's like, So you didn't get a dispensation, right? I was like, No, I didn't get a dispensation. Yeah, I didn't get one at all. He's like, Okay, well, if you if you just don't tell anybody, you can you can still receive the Eucharist, right? So I was like, that doesn't that didn't sound right. You know, but like I was like, well, he's a priest, he knows better than me. And so I went to to mass the next Sunday and I received after this general confession, he called it. And it still didn't feel right, right? Then I was like, you know what, I'm gonna search out another priest and ask him. And I found another priest in Georgia, Saint St. Monica in Duluth, Georgia. Father Jack Durkin there is an amazing priest. And I sit down with him and I told him what happened, and he's like, Oh no, that's not true at all. He's like, he's like, You can't receive. He's like, You can't even have a confession. He's like, Until you get your marriage validated, you can't do anything. So I'm like, man, like I can't like I can go to mass and that's it. I can't receive right. So where I'm taking my kids to mass, you know, sometimes especially during the week, because I, you know, because they're working at 24 on 48 off at the fire station, going to mass on Sundays, but I'd also go to the non-denation non-denominational church with my wife because you know, I still love my wife and I'll be able to be with her and I want to celebrate on Sundays with her. And my wife's not taking it well. I sit down and I write like a 10-page letter, explain to her why I went back to the faith. And it was mostly like apologetics. This is what it was. And and Father Jack told me, he goes, You cannot convince your wife, she will not listen to you, right? All you can do is pray for her and fast for her and love her, and that will be what happened. You know, that's how she'll that's awesome. That will be how she converse, right? So we moved to and we ended up moving to we're starting to move to Alabama in 2018. My wife came to me one day and she was like, Would you ever want to move to Alabama? And before she got Alabama out of her mouth, I was like, Absolutely. Like I couldn't get out of Atlanta fast enough. Like, yeah, let's go. We so we sold our house and everything in like two weeks, moved, got her job in two weeks in Alabama, but it was around my birthday. And at this time, she's like, Well, what do you want for your birthday? I was like, Well, I've been trying to get my wife to read a book for like that I had read as well for like 11, 10 years that we had been married. She'd never run us. I even read the Twilight series for her because she liked the Twilight series.
SPEAKER_09:I wanted us to have something we can do. We need a sparkling Michael Voris.
SPEAKER_04:I did. So I read these books because she liked them. So like I wanted to share something with her. So I was like, and she's like, What do you want for birthday? I was like, I just want you to read books. She's like, What book do you want me to read? Because I want you to read Home Sweet Home by Scott Hall. And she's like, Okay. So in the midst of this, we're moving. We moved to Alabama. We we're renting a house. She gets a job. She gets a job, and I start like some part-time job, and I'm going back to school because I tried to get on with a couple of fire departments in Alabama, but they wanted me to go back to rookie school, and I was too old for that. I mean, I got three kids at the time. Like, I and I can't like rookie school would wear me out. I'd have to come home, go to sleep just to get up the next day to go do it again. Rookie school is nothing but PT and you know, in a turnout suit. That's all it is. So I was like, I can't do that. So I went back to school. I used my GI Bill to finish my degree, and while I'm doing that, I'm going to adoration like every other day, just praying for my wife. All the time she's reading Rotten Sweet Home by Scott Hunt. And we go, I take her to her first mass. I take her to a mass here in Birmingham, and the parish is pretty much just a warehouse with a crucifix in the back. We went on the Saturday before Father's Day, just to set the stage for you. The the Mass was presided by a priest I couldn't understand. The deacon gave the homily, and the music was provided by a 15-year-old with a two-buck.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, okay. Could be worse. So for a novice order parish, it could be much worse than that.
SPEAKER_04:It could be, it could be. It was one of those ones who's like, all right, all the dads, stand up, you know, you know, happy father's day in the middle of the homily kind of thing.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And so we go to mass, and I have to explain to my wife why she can't receive and why I can't like I she already knows I can't receive. Now at this point, I've come back like almost two years, and I haven't received at all since that time that the errant priest told me I couldn't. And we go to that mass, and as we're leaving, she's like, I can't believe that was like that was a mass. I was like, Don't worry, it barely was. We'll find something else. It just barely counted. Don't worry about that. Barely, barely crossed the line, barely got over the finish line on that one.
SPEAKER_09:And you can be like, I didn't even he might not have even said the words of consecration, right? Might not understand him.
SPEAKER_04:Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. So a couple weeks later, we go to a another parish for it's the English Mass, but it's the parish where my Latin Mass is now. He does an English mass as well. Church is much more beautiful. Yeah, the English Mass was okay, right? It was way better than the other one, and the homily was great. And then so as we're leaving, she's much she liked that a lot more. About a week later, we're driving through downtown Birmingham, and we go by this bookstore called Reeds Books. It's like a block down from St. Paul's Cathedral. And as we're leaving the Reeds book store and we're cross going past the cathedral, she's like, Is that a Catholic church? It's like, yeah, it's the cathedral. She's like, Do you mind stopping? I was like, sure. And so I pull over the van, I got the kids. I parallel park like a master because that's of course. And um, and she wants to go inside. So this is the middle of the day. I was like, All right, yeah, go ahead inside, go check it out. And she goes inside, she's in there for like 15 minutes, comes out, she's obviously a bit crying. I was like, What's going on? Is it really good or really bad? No, like I don't know. Does someone hurt you? Do I need to go hurt someone? I don't know. So we go.
SPEAKER_09:I'm ready. I right now. I'll do it.
SPEAKER_04:I'm ready right now, right now. I will pistol whip somebody. Jumper cables in the back right now. So we go home, and I think it was that night, maybe the next night. I go to sleep early because I'm getting up at like five o'clock in the morning. She doesn't have to go until later. And she wakes me up at like 10 o'clock at night and she's crying again. And and but she's she's been reading the book at night when I go to sleep. And I wake up, I was like, What's wrong? And like I'm all dazed. Like we have a newborn at home, you know, it's like maybe six months old, and this is my our third child, and I'm kind of dazed, I don't know what's going on. Like, you know, I get kind of groggy when I wake up in the middle of the night, and she's like, Uh, I feel like God's telling me I have to be Catholic, right? And like I couldn't go back to sleep. It took me a while. Yeah, but now after that, we go to to find her somewhere to go through RCIA. She ends up going through RCIA at St. Paul's Cathedral. And then a couple years we go to the Latin Mass and all that. But I say all that, and I tell you all that story because my wife will be the first one to tell you that the hardest time in our marriage was not when I was in Afghanistan getting shot at, was not when I was in the fire department running into fully involved buildings or being shot at while on scene and having to treat a guy with gunshot wounds. It's when we weren't on the same page with the faith. That's when she thought we weren't gonna make it. And when we got on the same page and she saw with the church for what it was and wanted to join it and wanted to be with it with me, our marriage exploded from there. Our marriage, our relationship has gotten way better since then. And since then, like it's it has helped me to become a better husband, it has become me to help a better father, and then it's also encouraged her to fulfill much more of her role of being a mother and a wife. She's a stay-at-home mom now, like she could work right now and make as much money as I do, right? But she wants to be a stay-at-home mom, and that's much more important to her. And as well, she has accepted her role as a wife and allowing and following me in whatever I do. Not allowed, but she follows me whatever I do, whether I make a good decision or a bad. She's just supporting me the whole way, and it has made everything so much easier, and it has made a point to where like my kids, when we go out and we go out in public, we go out to eat. People love my kids, they're like, Oh, they're so well behaved. It's like, yeah, of course they are, because I love them and I discipline them. Yeah, I will. I'll use the jumper cables, don't put that past me. No, but it's just a matter of you following God's will, but also don't start your marriage on hard mode already, right? It's already hard getting married. Like, don't make it even harder because you're you're two different faiths. Like, find someone that is either much more willing to submit to you as the leader in the family, as a man, obviously, for the women out there, be willing to submit to your husband, right? To follow him because that was what was designed for you, because your marriage will be so much more fruitful if you do that. If you're constantly having to fight your husband about everything, it's it's just it's gonna make things so much harder than they need to be.
SPEAKER_01:Yep.
SPEAKER_09:Yep. The worst arguments I've ever had with my wife were were about the faith. Because she she was she grew up Baptist. But uh what's funny is the the worst arguments we had were about evolution, and as the Baptist, she took the creationist side, and as the cradle Catholic, I took the evolutionary side, and she will never never let me live down the fact that in the end she kind of won that argument, even though she's the one that converted to Catholicism. You know, now it's like yeah, I recognize evolution as ridiculous, and she she likes to point out that she kind of won that argument, but kind of lost.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. In the end, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And by the way, I'm Team Jacob. Just so y'all know. It's funny because we will still watch the movies occasionally. Like, like one of those movies we we fall asleep to. Look, guys, y'all can't make fun of me. I mean you can, but it won't matter to me. I used to get paid to shoot people in the face. I don't care what we have to say. I've seen what makes you cheer.
SPEAKER_09:We we are gonna still make fun of you, just to be clear. I don't care. Okay. Go for it.
SPEAKER_04:There was something else. Oh, we got you started a bunch of stuff.
SPEAKER_09:I did, yeah. So the we the rejection.
SPEAKER_04:We are we talking about like rejections by the same person, or just like you keep getting rejected by different women overnight?
SPEAKER_09:Because if it's the same person, just give up. Just move on. Move on. Just move on. If it's uh you almost gotta take something out of the kind of the feminist playbook where these women have been told their entire lives how much they're supposedly worth, right? And and how much how much better they are, and you know how what what they really deserve as a woman, and and all this, you gotta take all that and and realize that it's not really true for them, but it is kind of true for men. Like you have to you gotta recognize your your worth, your your worth as a as a man trying to be a good Catholic, you know, and you have to recognize that that there are gonna be a lot of a lot of women out there who just aren't capable of seeing that for whatever reason, but that doesn't mean that that worth isn't there, like like if you if you you know are a man who who's working as hard as he can, who's trying to be a good Catholic and you know trying to to follow the Lord, then damn, you are worth a hell of a lot more than 99 of people in the world. And you know what? If if if your 99 of women can't see them, then screw them. Who cares? Wait for the one that doesn't because they'll just be your life harder. If someone cannot see that, if a woman cannot see that and rejects you, he did you a favor.
SPEAKER_04:Bug Hall made a good post the other day. Someone asked him like how he chose his wife. And if y'all don't know it, like I will, I'm a bug hall. Like I bug hall and I like we'd hang out if we lived closer to each other, just saying. But but he he made a comment that the one trait he sought for most in his in a wife was docility, right? Willing to submit, basically, right? Docility is a is a very very rare trait now because so many women are told like they need especially that it's reinforced through school, reinforced through their parents, reinforced through social media to be that girl boss and to be that independent woman, right? And to go out and get what you need. Yeah, be high value, but being high value means first that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of someone else. Yeah, right. If you're not willing to do that, you're not ready for marriage at all. Because all a husband is is sacrificing himself for his family. Everything I do is for my wife and my kids, right? I'm I understanding the plight that the Gen Z has makes me much more scared for my kids, right? And and I'm trying to bolster that as much as I can in their capability of having somewhere to live, having a house. And so I do without with things right now because I want to be able to give them land to live on, right? Money to to build a house, things of that sort. So I give things up. Like I if I did what I wanted to do all the time, I'd be at the range all the time and eating hot wings.
SPEAKER_09:That'd be it.
SPEAKER_08:Eating hot wings at the range, at the range, dude, eating a hot wing off the rifle while I'm shooting, cooking the wing on the suppressor.
SPEAKER_09:Another part of this though is what's what is really important is the authentic part. Like just like just be who you are, like authentically. Like if you give up whatever LARP you might have, you know, if you're a trad, you don't gotta wear the tweed unless you legitimately like are into the tweed, then then own it. But but it's gotta be authentic.
SPEAKER_04:And you have a if you have a weird hobby, do not be ashamed by no double down. Exactly.
SPEAKER_09:Like if you like to frog hunt, unless it's twilight and Michael Vors, then cut that cut that out.
SPEAKER_04:Look, guys, there ain't no shame in my game.
SPEAKER_09:It did work, I suppose.
SPEAKER_04:So it did work, it did work. Look, I I built I sacrificed reading Twilight for my wife to get her to read Scott Hahn. Completely worth it. Completely worth it. What was it? Was it non-point, I think. Bullet with a name on it. I think is what it was. You ever heard that song? You were the emo, not me, man. That wasn't emo. That wasn't emo. It was either that or it was five finger death punch. I can't remember which one it was.
SPEAKER_09:I could see you doing five finger death punch.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Although that it was before that was probably like some Death Crab for Cutie or Alkaline Trio. Um if y'all ever get a chance to look these people up and listen to them.
SPEAKER_09:Mine was mine was definitely Iron Maiden. Real nice, real nice.
SPEAKER_04:Yes. Yes. I I recommend so I used to have USCCA. And they did a lot of shady stuff. They were not covering people who got in firefights or ended up needing to use their firefight. Firearm and they dropped people because it looked like they're gonna lose. Like it was they did some really shady stuff. And so I dropped them. And I was gonna go to attorneys on retainer, I think is what it was, but they are a little shady too. So the guy who runs Christian Warrior Training does a basically a breakdown of all the U.S. concealed carry insurances every year, and every year, like right to bear arms is the one he recommends. Right to bear arms. So that and and and mostly it's because he's a big advocate of church security teams, and they're pretty much the only concealed carry company that will cover you in that event. Everyone else won't. Now it's not to say they won't change, but right now that's about the only company that does. So that's who I went with, but that's the decision I made for me and my family on that. I've got my wife on it too, even though she rarely carries.
SPEAKER_09:But he's the one that came up with the really gay video about the recent one, right? Was he? I don't know. I think so.
SPEAKER_04:I suggest you get somebody, just do your research.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, definitely get someone right now. I am with USCCA because I I've been with them, it's gotta be like 10 years. And I just I haven't done my research as to who to replace them with yet.
SPEAKER_04:I get that. And to be honest with you, like USCCA will probably be fine for most everybody. But they just I don't want to support a company that did some of the shady stuff they did, yeah. So that's why I'm I should I moved. You're not joking. You're not joking. And I'm one of them, I'm gonna be honest. I can be in better shape, right? But I go to the gym, and you know, and I'm I'm trying to stay in better shape, but I've got issues from my Marine Corps career that make it a little difficult sometimes, back issues and stuff, but I still go to the gym. My cardio could be better, but I'm already married, so I ain't gotta worry. So I was in phenomenal shape when I met my wife, and I was in phenomenal shape for the first eight years of my marriage until I I was climbing trees for a living when I met my wife. But I was in way better shape than Jamima's point. Guys, y'all need to quit being fat slobs if you want to find a wife, and and and groom yourself, right? Like, don't have the neck beard and the and the white trash pork chops and the tweet and the disheveled hair, man.
SPEAKER_08:Here I am with my jupe.
SPEAKER_04:This guy, but he's already married. What's she gonna do? Find someone better? No. Oh man, but uh hope hope's not hope she's not watching, but yeah, take care of yourself, guys. You know, like for example, the the whole reason we have our farm here is because I want to provide better food sources to my kids. I'm a lost cause. I grew up on TV dinners, Salisbury steaks, KFC, like all that kind of thing. Yeah, I'm gonna die of cancer in like the next 15 years. Like it's but my kids can do a lot better, right? And that's why I do, I do it for them. We eat 80-20, right? And 80% of our food is organic. Everything we eat at home is organic, but we go out to eat sometimes too, right? So I'm trying to keep my kids a little used to going out to eat because I've got some friends that they eat nothing but organic and they can't come off of that, or they're in like horrible stomach pain for days. Like I'm trying to give my kids like give them a little bit of the cancer so they can you know be okay, but a little bit of taco bell now sends a lot of pain later. Yeah, that's right. Probably somehow. Yeah, yeah. And you don't and you don't need to be in phenomenal shape, you just need to not be out of breath going up a flight of stairs and be able to lift some decent weight, right?
SPEAKER_09:You don't want to be um what's the what what's that guy? The the the whole looks maxing thing. Oh, I think it starts with the C then clavicular or something like that, yeah. Like I mean, at some point it just becomes vanity, right?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, which you want to avoid that, but look, and if you're if you're a grown man and you're five eight, 135 pounds, there's your victim weight, you need to put some weight on, right? If one guy can hold you down, two guys can hold you down and have their way with you.
SPEAKER_09:Keep in mind he liked to watch Michael Bohr's guys.
SPEAKER_04:He's trying to get back into it. Have you seen him trying to get back into it? A little bit, yeah. Oh man. Yeah, get fit eat well. My face like a halo. I don't even know like is it going like that?
SPEAKER_02:Is that what it does?
SPEAKER_04:Like a ring on your face? It's like it's like a forward tonsure. That's what I was thinking of. Yeah, who's who said somebody here it is right here. The ultimate flex is saving your wife from 100%. And that may mean you make$40,000 a year and you drive a 15-year-old car and you have a flip phone and you have no streaming services. Sound a little bit like Michael Matt now, but but uh$50,000 a year, but you've got enough money to you have a reliable car, you've got a decent house, and let me click on in on something. Each of your kids don't need their own bedroom. Yeah, if you want to have 10 kids, it doesn't mean you need to have a 10-bedroom house. It means you need a three-bedroom house, one for you and the wife, one a girl's room, one a boy's room. And they they're only in the and if they if their only room in the house is is their bedroom to sleep in, and that's it, they're outside all the time, right? And they're not in their room trying to play video games or whatever else. They don't need their own rooms. You just need to separate the boys from the girls. After a certain age, boys should be rooming with girls. So you don't a three-two is fine for most everybody. In fact, you know, we we have a five-bedroom house, and it's too big, to be honest with you. Like, I keep wanting to downsize just because it's just too much room, and it just makes us like buy more crap to put into it. And I'm tired of the crap. Like, I keep moving crap. Like, I've moved, but my wife and I have lived in nine different places since we've been married. Well, this year will be 18 years we've been married, and we've moved nine times, and we have nine times nine moves worth of garbage that just keeps following us.
SPEAKER_09:Moving is the worst thing in the entire world.
SPEAKER_04:Jimama, you gotta give these guys the benefit the benefit of the doubt. One, most guys only social interaction with women is through the internet, and two, they're already behind the eight ball because one, they have to make the move, and two, they're asking, they've probably asked out women before you that were had highly inflated self-worth that wasn't justified. And so they probably got were very were very rudely rejected. So give some guys some grace.
SPEAKER_09:You know, I also a lot of artists.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, lot there's a lot of Tylenol being taken during pregnancy in the in the 2000s.
SPEAKER_03:Let's see what else. That's also something else on here. I wanted to.
SPEAKER_04:I showed up to so I've got a new boss, and I went to his house last week, and I showed up with a with some bourbon. And he said, Why are you giving me bourbon? I was like, brother, this is the south. When we come to somebody's house, we bring a present. That's what we do. Yep, and he was he was kind of because I guess no one else he he runs around with does that, you know. But that's the same thing when when you when you take a woman. Bring a bottle of wine. Yeah, bring some hard, yeah. Bring her a rose, bring her a I don't care, bring her something. Bring her knickknacks, knickknack.com.
SPEAKER_09:Bring her 25% off or 25% off.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Shilling on our show. I can't. You don't shill our show on your show. But you shill your grift. I get it.
SPEAKER_09:I mean, this I do I make money on this.
SPEAKER_02:Do you just do they just give you free knickknack? Is that all it is?
SPEAKER_09:I have they they gave me like 10 of these things for free. Yeah, nice. But the free lobster for the new sponsor is pretty cool too. I saw that. That's a little wild.
SPEAKER_04:That's a little wild. Is that another Catholic company?
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, yes. The guy's a viewer who watches us. I had lobster for breakfast yesterday.
SPEAKER_04:This is this is the standard we should all be aspiring to. If you can bench your body weight, walk on a 10-mile hall hike, I'll say. Walk up a flight of stairs without losing your breath and not show your crack when you bend down to pick up something, you're you're in a good spot. You're in a good spot.
SPEAKER_09:Well, Piscassius. I don't know if you know this, but Taffy has been offered money, and Taffy has said no.
SPEAKER_04:So well, he's obviously not Jewish.
SPEAKER_09:That's a good point. It's a good point.
SPEAKER_04:I cannot tell you how many bugs I have to pick up. Like we have we have palmetto bugs down here, especially during the summer, and they'll just be dead in the morning for whatever reason. And so, like, my wife was like, There's a bug in the kitchen, and I have to go in there and get it and throw it away for no reason. But now I've got a son, and that I've made him take up that duty. He's not required to pick up all the bugs. Do not give her mother knickknacks. She might like them, especially here in the south.
SPEAKER_09:I had a coworker yesterday complaining about she's given up smoking while at work, right? Like on her breaks and lunch, he won't go to her car to smoke anymore. But she said, you know, she was mentioning how hard that it like when she gets home, first thing she wants to do is smoke. So I had a one of my free packs of knickknacks that I gave her. Turns out her and her husband love them. She's a boomer woman, so she did not know these things even existed.
SPEAKER_04:I knew I didn't like you. I'm joking, Jamama. I'm joking. I think that's I think Jews converted Catholicism, but is probably like the most hardcore conversion. Like you go from hey, like he wasn't a real prophet, he should have died, to he kind of died for everybody.
SPEAKER_09:Like, real quick. The the other day I got into some arguments on Twitter about you know the Amish, and well, one of the guys had an Israeli flag in his profile next to the Catholic flag, and I I made a comment, which in most cases would have been valid, but then I got a message from Gideon Lazar. He's like, Yeah, yeah, just so you know, that guy he he's actually an Israeli who just converted to the Catholic Church, so he's like, he's just trying to be both patriotic and Catholic. I'm like, okay, damn. Yeah, that I screwed up there, Gideon. I'm sorry, I'll apologize. Like, that's gotta be rough, right? To be an Israeli, raise Jewish, convert to the Catholic Church, and somehow to like try to figure out how do you how do you both be patriotic? Because as a Catholic, we're supposed to be patriotic for our home nations, right?
SPEAKER_04:In Israel, the only way you can lose your right to citizenship is becoming Catholic. You can be still a citizen, so he's he just better not tell them he's Catholic. You can be a Buddhist Jew, you can be agnostic, you can be a satanic Jew, you can be an evangelical Jew.
SPEAKER_09:What it is is the the right to the law of return. So any Jew worldwide can become an Israeli citizen, right? Unless you convert to Christianity. Yep. So that's what it is. But he was born a citizen, so I don't think they can take it away from it.
SPEAKER_04:Jamama, that must be hard. Yeah, I can't I can't imagine. Like most of my family's like Catholic light, especially on my dad's side. But I've got a few that are like starting to like listen to Taylor Marshall and stuff, so that's fun. On my mom's side, they're mostly like they're just secularists. My I haven't I had an older sister, uh, she's about eight years older than me. About three years ago, I got a call, she was in the hospital, and she apparently was she was in liver failure, she had cirrhosis of liver, she was apparently a closet alcoholic. Nobody knew, nobody had any idea. And so I went to the hospital to go visit her, and I just had like this this push for some reason. I was like, I need to bring some holy water for whatever reason. So I'm gonna go visit her before she passed, and she was she was out of it the whole time I was there. So I'm gonna gusta this hospital, and I'm sitting there just like holding her hand, talking to her, because she can't respond. She's kind of she's out of it, and I'm the only one in there. Everybody else had gone home for the night, and I was standing there, like I was standing, I was sleeping in the chair next to her, and I just had this like urge. I was like, I need to, I need to baptize my sister. It's like, man, but like what if she doesn't want to be baptized? Like that's and that's an issue I'm gonna have to deal with. I was like, you know what? Like, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna do it. So I baptized my sister that night, and then next morning, my sister's ex-husband and his wife and her and his wife at the time came in because they had kids together, my my sister and her ex-husband. And apparently she had grown close with the ex-husband's new wife somehow. And the new wife was talking about how my sister had started seeking the Lord and going to church, and she had wanted to get baptized, she didn't know how to do it. Like, and she this she brought this up out of nowhere. Like, I hadn't talked to her at all, and I just felt like that was a that was God telling me you're good, like you did what you're supposed to do. You're do you're you came for the right reason, you did what you're supposed to do while you're here, you know. And on that side of the family, she's a you know, the rest of them are just they're not good people. Like my mom's side of the family are just really horrible people. But my sister, you know, I I've known her a little bit throughout my life. I didn't know her very well. She was out of the house because she's older than me. But you know, that's just one of those times where you just listen and you have to go with what you think you're being told to do, and hopefully it's the right voice talking to you.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, we kept 32 viewers this whole time. That sounds bad for us.
SPEAKER_04:Nice, almost almost three dozen guys. Almost three dozen. Freemason brother, okay, other brother dating an Israeli massad agent, I'm not 100% sure. Mom and dad said they're Jews. I'd never changed my cross or anything, though. I live in that Catholic. Good. You know what? I've tossed around, I've talked to Christopher about this too on the telegram chat. We need to have like a Catholic dating exchange program. Right? Like, if you live in Cincinnati, yeah, come down to Birmingham for a week and go to mass. I've I'll introduce you to a bunch of the people, a bunch of the girls or guys if you're if you're if you're a female, and maybe you'll find a husband down here or a wife down here, right? Uh, and vice versa, we'll send some up there. They go up to Cincinnati. Maybe they'll meet some up there, right? Or maybe with like Mississippi. When there's there's no like mass in Mississippi, but you know, just like a an exchange program of traditional Catholics coming to each other parishes to to help find where it goes. That's not what I want. Is that the point of Anthony's Italy privileged? Well, hopefully it's not a lot like his Patrick Coffin pilgrimage. We'll just leave it at that. Well, I'm if y'all end up coming to Birmingham, come find me. You'll see me with my family. You won't be able to miss me. I'm I have a loud voice, but I'll introduce you around. I have no problem with that. I'll introduce you to everybody. Adrian will show us some Michael Horse. Oh, yeah, you're welcome. A little bit of that double trouble.
SPEAKER_02:Oh man. I thought we were watching Twilight tonight, babe. What is this? Double trouble.
SPEAKER_03:Oh man. Mm team Michael.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. And I don't know if y'all have seen, but Patrick Coffin loves the e-girls. Especially if they believe Charlie Kirk is still alive. Like he he's so weird to me because he believes the most crazy conspiracies, but then he thinks the SSPX are settings.
SPEAKER_03:Like, where do you your logic is all jacked up?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, I anytime actually, in fact, in anytime I travel, I have a uh I have the Knights of Columbus cross they give you in like the third degree, I think it is. That goes with me because it stands up on its own. Yeah, and then I have holy water and blessed salt. So anytime I go to like a hotel or something, I bless the room and works out because man, life's hard enough. I don't need demons attacking me too when I go sleep somewhere.
SPEAKER_09:For the record, though, everyone, it doesn't if you baptize someone, it doesn't need to be holy water. No, no, can't be spit.
SPEAKER_04:Just we we need some Guns N' Rosaries Twilight shirts with Michael Vorce's head on them, do wielding 1911s. Wait a minute, what now?
SPEAKER_09:Can you run run that by me one more time?
SPEAKER_04:Look, just imagine, just imagine a black shirt. Okay, hold on, hold on. You good? You ready? Close your eyes. Yep, yep, yep. It's a black shirt. Okay. Michael Voris, glittery body. Right? Dual wielding 1911s.
SPEAKER_09:You had me up until Michael Voris. That's the best part. You know, if we're gonna do Twilight Guns and Rosary shirt, it should be you can be like Jacob, and I'll who's the other one? Edward. Okay, then I I guess does it is he the vampire?
SPEAKER_04:He's the he's one of the vampires, yeah. Oh, great. I guess we the sparkling vampire on the shirt. It's gonna be amazing. Yes, we do have a telegram chat. And it's super lively. Do are we allowing ghosts to join it?
SPEAKER_09:We can allow ghosts, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:True. Look, just know if you're a female and you join the telegram chat, it's not gonna be a good time. It's it's not female friendly, we'll say.
SPEAKER_09:Oh gosh. There might be speaking of hold on, speaking of lively telegram chat. I got hold on. Is that who I think it is who did that? Yes, it is. You're watching you're watching us and doing this at the same time, Taffy. What do you do? Hold on, give me a second. Where is it? Here we go.
SPEAKER_08:Really?
SPEAKER_03:West side, buddy.
SPEAKER_09:First off, Ant would look way better in with this picture.
SPEAKER_04:He'd he'd be very appropriate.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, oh, okay, Taffy made that before the show. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:No.
SPEAKER_09:Let me put the telegram chat in here real quick.
SPEAKER_04:While he's doing that, I don't understand Stephanie Gordon doesn't seem like a a miserable wife. Like he seems to treat her really well. I think some people don't like the way he talks, which is fine there are some things i disagree with with tim gordon on but like i've met his wife in person i've met him in person and his wife is not unhappy whatsoever so i don't know if that's a if that's a situation where i would think like he's mistreating his wife at all and i but i think a lot of us have a hard time with lit it hearing the way he talks and and the way he talks to his wife and i think we're we're feminist coded right in the fact that we like we think the way he's talking to his wife or about his wife because i've never heard him say anything but phenomenal things about his wife right and he obviously loves his wife very much i think it's we just aren't in a culture where the the leadership of the man and the submissiveness of the wife is honored as much so it's weird to us right because that's a situation that's a new situation for me too like I grew up you know thinking like well women are just as good as men and they can do everything a man can do and like I thought me and my wife were gonna have you know jobs together and you know we you know we put the kids through school and you know we'd have to be a double income the rest of our life and and then like my mind changed because my I started taking my face seriously and you know I just don't I don't follow that line of thinking anymore and I think Tim Gordon is kind of helped me do that. And my wife loves Stephanie Gordon they've they've communicated through email a few times as well because she's asked her about her book and stuff. So I think it's just a lot of us we're we're so feminist coded growing up that like we think it's weird the way he his his relationship is and I think he's got a lot he's doing a lot more right than most of us let's see any of you any you men think about joining a third order military religious order that is open to married men allowed to be enrolled in the ranks man y'all love run-on sentences knights of columbus are so lackluster and bland but any organization you join hold on hold on I'm gonna have to go make myself a drink if you're going off in your Knights of Columbus spiel again I'm not I'm not even gonna talk about the Knights of Columbus okay we'll see any i'm I'm gonna the Knights of Columbus any organization you can join that's Catholic men to face seriously whether it's the Kingsmen which is a good organization men of St. Joseph you know or COR or Knights of Columbus Fraternus any of these organizations are worthwhile for you to join absolutely I will always sing the praises of the Knights of Columbus because one they have the infrastructure already set to have a much more lasting change than any of these other groups and your counsel is only as bad as you allow it to be if your counsel is a bunch of boomer men then find three friends with you get elected to officer positions take it over and mold it how you want it to be it's that simple they want you to do that they're tired of being the the officer positions they're ready to give it up they want someone else to take the reins the problem is that a lot of young men have is they don't want to commit to anything because they're they're afraid something better will come up what do you do Rob I see you well I'm trying not to dock your last name first of all the second of I'm saying also Adrian wants you to join the Knights of Columbus because then he can sell you insurance look I don't care if you join the knights at all can you sell insurance to to any knight in the country no just in my state okay never mind then yeah but you you absolutely should join some type of men's fraternal group I don't care what it is join something surround yourself with other good men it's just the knights of Columbus are the most prolific they're they're much you have much more access to them than anybody else and if you like I said if you don't like your council change it there's not like I have helped overturn a number of councils with younger men because they didn't like their counsel like I don't want to join it's a bunch of old guys I'm like all right we'll get an elected you get elected and I'll help you you know help you get elected and then you can change it to however you want now I've got a council right now they do like one business meeting a month but then they do like three social meetings where one they went skeet shooting another one they went camping and another one they're helping with a put a new roof on a convent down here right so like you you make it how you want it to be it doesn't have to stay how it's always been yes rig the election and then stop elections. Yes become the dick the council dictator yes exactly council strong man yeah knights of Malta are good or of Saint John is another good one just something you can join that surrounds yourself with other men that want are seeking the Lord it's that's the best thing you can do you want to do you want to do this one oh you just do this one yes all right I'll do this one well yeah you're it's not it's not proscribed right to do but most people want kids that look like them right and I mean I've dated minorities my wife would like a kid that looks like her but they all come out looking just like me I know all my kids like look wildly different from each other but then they all look like each other too at the same time it's weird but and like my oldest is a spitting edge of my image of my wife but then she's got my personality so it's like it's it's horrible but yeah I mean there's nothing wrong per se with it but it it does it can dilute culture for instance I had I have a friend that I was in the Marines with and he was mixed he was half black half white and he didn't feel black or white like he he couldn't identify with either side because he'd go hang out with the black side of the family and they would see him as white and then he'd go with the white side of the family and they see him as black right and they always no one ever really accepted him in his family I mean like not that they didn't love him right then Edward's kids would always be torn between the two worlds humans and vampire never letting this one go like I wouldn't bring it up if I wouldn't if I wasn't willing to to let it out there it's one of those things like uh we can talk about uh ideals and and principles all day but it's like we got a lot of lot of stuff in our world to fix before we kind of get down to to that level it's really like if you find a it is much more important for you to find someone who's Catholic than someone who's your same race if you're white and you find a Filipino Catholic girl marry her that's the marine in him talking by the way guys well it'd be she'd be black Catholic I don't care if she's Catholic that's much more important than her skin color right or what your skin color if you're black and you meet a a white Catholic go for it that's much more important but I wanted to reiterate cigar mode's statement here they are based in fact you know what I'm doing I've got a friend who's got who runs a really good council in St. Louis I'm gonna bring him on and we're gonna have the Knights of Columbus and why it and what it does and what what he does at his parish because their councils they're in a Latinas parish they have a great council I'm gonna bring him on and we're gonna talk about it.
SPEAKER_09:Oh did did Taffy happen to make one already Pescassius? Is that what you're saying?
SPEAKER_04:Yep it's in the telegram already team MV That's amazing uh oh you did yes that's right that is yes yeah that that taffy guy can't do him anymore he's he doesn't have the the skills anymore uh let's see we put we put taffy out of his misery after he made an intro for Joel Webbin where him and Anthony were hands together I I've like I was driving I had to pull over when I started watching that because I I was like I'm on my way home I'm gonna turn this on because I haven't watched it yet I turn it on and I think it was the next day and I turn it on and that intro started playing the one because I think you showed it the next day on the local show.
SPEAKER_09:We showed it on the local show because Anthony said there was no way he was playing over Joel. I had to pull over I couldn't see I was laughing so hard I was crying the first version had at the end when they're running through the field had them holding hands and Anthony goes no absolutely not that it's too gay well I was like the lyrics were killing me.
SPEAKER_04:I was like the visual is like whatever but the lyrics in the song was killing me. See women will have expectation of their husbands that they inherit from their culture most approximately the father's yep men should keep that in mind. Yeah I tell my my daughters all the time you know my goal is to find you a husband that's better than me and that and like your your future husband better come talk to me because if I don't approve of him like that's not happening. You're not getting married to him he has to in it's not like I've got like these lofty standards where like he's got to be a multimillionaire. Like I don't as long as you can take care of my daughter and protect her that's all I care about. And you're gonna and you're going to walk with her step in step you know in her faith but yeah like my daughter will seek men that are like me because I am the example to her of what a man should be. And the way she sees me love my wife is the standard of which she will want to be loved by her husband. And it's the same thing with my son. The way my son sees me love my wife is the standard he will uphold when he has a wife.
SPEAKER_03:Yep.
SPEAKER_04:Right we're exempli which is why like I tell my my kid my oldest daughter we haven't this talk a couple weeks ago because she now she's like 13 and she's you having questions about worldly things and she's reading books that are having very adult topics in them now. And the topic came up of like you know rape and things like that. We're past two hours we're good. So she was reading Twilight too then so nope I think it was like a little house on the prairie or something but anyway I was I was telling my daughter I was like you know mom mommy and I are we're messed up like we grew up in broken homes and I my parents were divorced you know my wife's parents divorced we're we're messed up but our goal is to not is to pass on a little as little of that brokenness to you. Yeah you will be a a little less broken than I am and then hopefully your children are even less broken than you are and then hopefully your grandchildren will not be broken at all. Right so hopefully they will never need Michael Forrest to help convert them. What is the flag to your lower left which one this one yeah that's the Afghanistan flag it's got all my guys I deployed with in 2010 on it African flag doesn't even know it's a flag you're not even a real autist whoa whoa whoa whoa he could be a train autist a trained autist yeah he's a tranny autist is what he is I identify as autist those the that them there's some autist fighting words let's see yes we homeschool and that so let me tell you the story how that happened so my I had my kids in Catholic school you really do need a drink go ahead go ahead I got this so my kid I used to have my kids in Catholic school here 2020 my wife decided she was she my wife was a nurse at the time she decided she wanted to go work in the ER again she was working at a a cardiac unit before so she found an ER job at one of the ERs here in in Birmingham and then right after she accepted the job COVID happened so then she was in the ER during the entirety of COVID and so miserable yeah it was she was in her space suit all the time with her N100 mask on it was she hated it but anyway she eventually accepted a position my wife God bless her she's cursed with competency she ended up accepting a job that was like two education levels higher than what she had so she was managing two units as she had an associate's degree she should have had a master's doing that but she's good at her job she's smart and she knows what she's doing so they had her doing that but during COVID they were having to she was having to fire nurses who didn't get the vaccine even though my wife didn't take the vaccine and so the time was coming up in November of 21 to where they were basically telling like if you don't get the vaccine we got to let you go too she's like that's fine peace I'm gonna be a stay-at-home mom right and so November of 2021 she and she came home and she's been a stay-at-home mom ever since but we homeschool and that's my wife's was concerned at first because she's like I don't know how to be a teacher and uh like I kept encouraging her I was like you graduated high school you can at least teach the high school yeah like where I'm not trying to I don't want you to teach them how to be an astrophysicist just like get them to high school high school and and she's loved it and now it takes some time to get used to it because we weren't because I remember growing up like the homeschool kids were weird right they're like socially awkward but I look back on it now they were innocent the reason they were weird is because they weren't jacked up like we were 100% man. Right? So that's why we so now my kids well my kids so two years ago I went back to Kentucky to Enoch's parish my cousin goes there bro that's amazing that's not bad that's not bad at all so two years ago I went to my hold on I I will make a shirt of that for for a prize for the monthly competition I will Piscassius or taffy or whichever one of you two of the split personality made that can you send me not the t-shirt part of the file but just the image file I'll make it I'll make a shirt of that which it we and on the back it should say the most goodest boy yes you'll get a shirt most goodest boy most goodest boy so anyway two years ago went to my cousin's wedding afterwards like this is like the first time a lot of my side of the family met all my kids like some of them met my oldest when she was a baby but it it's been a while since then and they're all just shocked at like my son who was seven at the time could have a conversation with like a 30 year old yeah and they're like he's so he's so like well spoken and like yeah because we talk to him like he's an adult I don't baby talk him like I treat him and I give him chores and like and he and he's and now my son's a little bit of a variance because my son's very smart I know everyone thinks that of their kids but the rest of my kids are not smart like my son is not like my oldest she's very artistic my second youngest she's she's going to be a mom because she is super bossy and she likes to take care of people and my youngest is the reason I have gray hairs on my head but my son taught himself to read at four and taught himself how to play the piano at five right that's a difficulty for me because he's obviously smarter than I am so how do I raise a child that's smarter than me I give him the resources he needs that's all I do but you know homeschooling has been the best thing for us because my son who's far advanced in some ways isn't now being pigeonholed into his grade with everyone else he's able to excel in areas where he does well right and then like my other kids are able to do you know go a grade ahead or or whatever based on where they're at as well so homeschooling is is much more preferred. Like yes would I like them be in a school to where they can socialize with other kids yes and no like but if I have to put them in a school where socialization means like they're gonna be bullied nah I'm good like I mean if anybody's gonna bully my kids it's gonna be me but right now the way things are homeschooling is phenomenal I love it.
SPEAKER_09:If you can do it do it I completely agree like what I like largely checked out during like high school in college be because of that that reason like you know in in seventh grade they're having us I don't even know what books we were reading in seventh grade in school something stupid and terrible but you know and meanwhile I'm reading like the rise and fall of the third reich by Willem Shire that's like a 1600 page tome of you know about well about Hitler maybe wasn't the best sign growing up I guess but but but like you know so I never paid attention to school because it was all mind-numbingly boring yeah you know and like my my oldest is that same way to where if if if you're not engaging with him at his level he just checks out you know and so that's one thing that that we really love about homeschooling too is is we can we can do whatever we want with him. You know we have a curriculum that we use but but if we find he's got an interest in something or something catches his eye that day you can go into you know you can go down a rabbit hole and have him learn about something that he actually does want to learn about.
SPEAKER_04:That's exactly right. We've uh we were kind of like piecemealing some curriculums together but my wife has started straying much more towards memoria press I don't know if you've heard of them but they're a a Catholic I mean they're they're run by Catholics but it's they're trying to evangelize the world through Catholicism without making it blatant that is Catholicism. But they're out of Louisville Kentucky but they have really great curriculum and my boy does IEW I don't know if you know what that is but Andrew Pudawa does it and my boy can he can write really well he can structure a paper really well and he's nine years old so it's it's been and he loves it because he gets to write about things that he wants to write about all the time he just has to do with the rules that they give him and he loves it we use uh Colby Academy for the curriculum but my wife's uh added and changed some stuff yeah we use a lot of tan stuff for a little bit too like their sit story of civilization was really good is really good my boy loves it he he he's when he's doing when it's history time because we do history during the summers and he's like all right I'm ready for the test I'm like brother you just read the the lesson I'm ready let's do it and he'll nail it he'll kill it but he loves it man so I'm really excited to share it because I've got a lot of history books uh in fact I've got Warren Carroll's entire history of the church series nine volumes so I'm excited for him to start reading that stuff but he's a few years away some of those words are hard even for me you only got shot to raise one shot to raise your kids don't send them to daycare I agree or public schools it's a missed opportunity they will build regrets if you go down that path school yeah my oldest daughter is the only one that we've done uh daycare with and there are challenges there for her because of that so everyone else is has not had needed daycare yeah like well like my oldest we didn't put him in daycare but but well you know before we had my second when he was two so for the first two years of his life my wife was working hope was working so I was working too obviously so we had my mom watch it way better than daycare don't get me wrong like I'm glad you know I'm glad I'm super grateful and thankful that my mom was able to watch him during those two years.
SPEAKER_09:But just those two years being apart from from hope during the day, even though it was with my mom, like he has noticeably more anxiety, you know, in his personality in his life than my other kids have. You know, he's he's noticeably more anxious, he's noticeably he definitely has some separation anxiety at times, things like that, you know. And I can just tell it's like it's because his his life was just a little bit more up in the air between me working during the day, hope working overnight, you know. So he I I I bring him to my mom's in the morning. Then you know, Hope goes there, naps for a few hours before she brings him home and is awake with him during, you know, it's it was just a crazy couple of years, and it affected him. And I I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if it was daycare, you know, or something like that instead, even so.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. My uh my oldest had to go into daycare because I was in the Marines at the time. I'm all I I was putting my wife through nursing school. So she's in daycare, she was in daycare basically from eight weeks old to you know just she till she started school because my wife and I were both working, she was a nurse at ER in Georgia, and I was in the fire department. And I and then eventually we got to the point where I would work a shift and my wife would be off. So we didn't they need to be in daycare other than maybe like to cross paths in the morning to work. But yeah, like there are challenges with my daughter that are obviously there from her being in daycare and where that my other kids don't have. And it's also the I think it's also challenges because she was the only child for like four years before we had my son because we weren't supposed to be able to have kids. Like we tried for four years before we had my daughter, and then I thought she was gonna be it, and then four years later, I had my son. I was like, okay, well, I got a boy and a girl, like that's probably it. And then not realizing we broke the seal, and every 15 months after that, we had another kid. Um, but like our our third child was a medical emergency, it was a uterine rupture. My wife almost died, my daughter almost died, and we weren't supposed to get pregnant again. And we tried NFP to to keep from like endangering my wife's life. We're horrible at NFP, so we got pregnant a fourth time, and so like then we had to take my daughter four weeks early, and then we can't have any like we could not have any more children because it would kill my wife. And so now we've got four and we would love to have more kids. We tried to adopt, but the state of Alabama doesn't like if you're not on the vaccine schedule, and we weren't willing to do that anymore, so we can't adopt. So we're just do you think that's change with a different vaccine schedule now? We so it's funny you bring that up. We've started looking into it again since the change. The problem is one, I cannot afford to adopt privately. You're looking at forty to sixty thousand dollars, yeah. So if I was to adopt, it would be foster to adopt, which I don't have a problem with if it's a if it's a baby. It but I can't I can't bring like a 12-year-old boy into my house. No, I've got daughters, and I can't they've they're coming in with trauma, usually sexual trauma, yeah. Right, and I can't risk that around my girls. So like I could do a baby, but I I still the the children in the house, if you if you foster a baby, still have to get like the flu vaccine and the whooping cough vaccine for the children in the house already. And and the adults, I'm like, well, we're not doing that.
SPEAKER_03:No, so we're just we're just not gonna be able to adopt is pretty much what it comes down to. How much would they give an incentives to raise the adoptive kids realistically?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know what you mean by fostering, you know, is a little bit of funds, but like and so for the county I'm in, we have a glutton of foster homes, and so much that other counties come to our county to be able to find homes for kids. Now, like Jefferson County that Birmingham's in, they are way short foster homes, you know, and so uh it was it was strange to me that like we tried to get registered to Jefferson County to find a child and they wouldn't even take us. It's almost like there's no incentive for them to place these children, right? So I don't know if y'all have like followed the the conspiracy with the Epstein files and everything with with the children in foster care, but it's it makes more sense to me now that now that I've been on this side of it trying to adopt.
SPEAKER_09:I um so Cigar Most said we should pay people to adopt children. I understand that, but at the same time the Somalis would have a new fraud ring. That's 100% true. And not obviously not just them. You would it's I mean, you already incentivize people to have.
SPEAKER_04:This is gonna sound kind of any gayer than being not gay, no, no, not gay.
SPEAKER_09:It's just obviously as Catholics, we want people to be open to life and have children. Yeah, but in some real sense in areas of the population, like we incentivize them to have well. I mean, they're not married, right? So we're we we're incentivizing them to have kids on wedlock so that their welfare checks go up. Yeah, you know, and and this would just could be another way for people to abuse that thing.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's uh that's a hundred percent what would happen. If you paid people to take care of foster children and adoptive children, they would take as many as they can and and then just neglect the children just for the check. Exactly what would happen. But then the other side of it is as well, is there they can be too restrictive on people who want a child because we looked at doing private adoption through Catholic charities, but we were told that we would never be picked by the mother because we already have kids. They want to find people who can't have kids. Like, well, technically, we can't have kids anymore. We just have four kids that your child will now have as siblings, right? And plus, man, if I could adapt a black child, the N-word pass real nice. Oh big, okay, clear got it.
SPEAKER_09:My uh my one of my younger cousins, one of the only other people in my family that still practices the the Catholic faith. He uh he had cancer when he was three. I forget the type of cancer. It was up, it was up in his face, basically. So he uh had just high doses of radiation, you know, in chemo, but radiation blasted like right into his head. It killed his um I think it was the pituitary gland, the one that controls growth, right? So he took he had to take growth hormones up until he was, you know, 16, basically, to make sure he because otherwise he would have stayed physically like a three-year-old, probably. But I mean, so he was, you know, he knew he knew basically from the time he could remember that he was going to be infertile, right? Because his body was blasted with the radiation and chemo at the age of three. But him and his wife were they they were able to adopt and they adopted twins. So that was but I mean that was like fifty fifty thousand dollars at least. I I'm sure it was more than that, but but yeah, it's uh it's crazy the hoops some people you know have to go through.
SPEAKER_04:It's prohibitive, is what it is. Yeah, I had a I had a lieutenant in the fire department I was at in Georgia who paid forty thousand dollars to adopt a child locally, and the woman accepted the money and then at the last moment decided to keep the child, so then he's just out forty thousand dollars. Oh man, right? And he ended up adopting two kids, but he I think he ended up dropping like$140,000 to adopt those two kids. That's crazy. Yeah, that's insane. But that's what happens, that happens all the time. Let's see, we got anything else? We may call this here in a second. We've been here two and a half hours. Going to mass, boy. Going to candle mass. We it's an evening mass this time, so the candles would be nice. I think last year a candle is on a Sunday, wasn't it? Sounds right. Maybe a Saturday. So it's like I remember being there in the day. I know that. So this year our mass is at night, so it'll be nice with the candles.
SPEAKER_09:I've never been to a candle mass, unfortunately. No, they don't do them in the Nova Zorro. Yeah, I'm not can't do the four-hour round trip on your average weekday, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I don't blame you at all. Not one bit. All right, guys. If y'all haven't joined the telegram, join the telegram, even you, Jemima, just don't get uppity. Just don't get uppity. Man. So sorry I didn't put out a competition this month. It's been crazy here around my house this month. In fact, we had a calf born yesterday or when Wednesday. Wednesday, the only warm day of the week, which is great. But we've got another one, we've got three more due in the next couple of months. Oh wow. Um so a lot of a lot of stuff going on around here. We're getting prepared for spring, but I've already got February's drawn up, it will be posted by Sunday in Telegram. And this new winner will get one of those shirts.
SPEAKER_09:And I will make that shirt just for that for whoever wins it. So join uh imagine trying to explain that shirt to someone. Yeah, like you're wearing it. Someone's like, What's that mean? And you're like, I don't even know where to start, man.
SPEAKER_04:So I'll uh I'll start releasing the dates that we're gonna do for the camp out and such in in late April, early May. I just don't want to do it when it's too cold because like April can be still be a little cool.
SPEAKER_09:We you we used left snow on the ground in April.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we don't have that problem in Alabama, but it's still gonna be cool. But we're gonna do like a two, three-day camp out, eat off the campfire, do some shooting, hang out type thing for a couple of days down here at my property. We'll we'll do that in April, May, late April, early May. I'll release some dates on that here, probably in the next two weeks. I'm gonna lean on Rob to try and get us that priest from Texas that can come out with us. Yeah. Maybe get to talk and hear confessions, maybe do a mass while we're out there. But it's gonna be limited. We're gonna, you know, I might limit it to like 20, 25 guys. There'll be a little bit of cost involved just because I love you guys, but I'm not paying for all your food.
SPEAKER_09:I was gonna say people should should cover their own food and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, like I'll I'll buy, like I, I'll, you know, we'll it'll probably be like 25 bucks, right? For food for the week, for the weekend, or whatever it is. And we'll probably do like breakfast and a dinner, and like y'all can just eat MRE's for lunch or something. But we'll do some cooking and stuff. It'll be fun. But I'll hash it out here soon. The goal is for that to one, give you some men you can meet in person that are on the same path as you in this community. Have a little fun shooting some guns. Like, I'll let y'all shoot some of my guns. We're gonna have to drive down. Yeah, you will have to drive down. It's only like 14 hours, that's all. But and then, you know, have a we might have a couple of talks. I might do it, I'll do a talk, and I'll probably have the priest do a talk. Whoever priest we can get, we'll have some confession, we'll have mass. It'll be a good time. It'll be it'll be fun. And then, you know, hopefully you'll meet some good people that you can build some relationships with. I know, isn't it crazy? You meet your people in your mutuals in real life, it's amazing. And some of y'all will probably go away from this hating me, and that's okay. I'm fine with that. But that's the goal. So I'll release some dates on that here soon, and then we'll see if we can get some some people to come that you all will want to see. But other than that, guys, we're gonna cut it from here. We should get Adrian's favorite person, Christian Wagner, to come down. That boy's got hands soft as Charmin. I like Christian Wagner. He's just he doesn't, he he's not uh he doesn't take the ribbing too well. He didn't like me making an AI picture of him taking a selfie. Is that what the most recent time was? Yeah, that's what he blocked me right after that. He did. I'll show you. Let me see if I can find it. I'll show it to you what I did. So he said he sent a picture of him taking a pic, he took a selfie in his truck. Let me see if I can find it. Well, he was like working some like you know, construction job or something. So I did I took an AI, I took it and put it through AI, made him a woman, and he's just like a little doughy woman in the in the same picture, and he blocked me. He didn't like it. I was like, this is the same vibes. He didn't like it. Here it is. Here, I'll send it to you real quick, Rob.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, are you gonna pull an ant to try to show it to the camera?
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I could like you could see it, but here you go. There you go. It's the same exact picture. Oh my god, it he shows him as a doughy woman.
SPEAKER_09:He looks like he should be protesting ice in Minneapolis, to be honest.
SPEAKER_04:And he didn't like it, and he blocked me for it.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, so you you your affability does not come across quite as much on Twitter as it does in there.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's because it's words, and words are hard. So but like he didn't, like he he just got real butthurt about it, and like, man, that's because you're raised by a woman. That's what that was. He is like fluffer nutter. That's exactly true. Fluffer nutter.
SPEAKER_09:I'm I can't believe you people eat those things.
SPEAKER_04:I had them once and I would I would eat it again. Like, I won't buy the ingredients to do it myself, but if someone were to make me a fluffer nutter, I'd eat a fluffer.
SPEAKER_09:I mean, I'm not gonna stand here in my high horse and say I wouldn't eat it if someone handed me to me right now.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, come on, guys, but so so before we go, uh so I ordered some fat thins. Yes, I got them. Yeah, and we we had them like we had fish sticks tonight and fat thins for dinner. Yep, and they're good. I like them a lot. I can't justify paying for them ever again. I did it one that's fair, but they're they're just way too expensive for for potato chips. If they could cut it like by like 25%, I would probably do more. I would probably order some more, but man, they're good. Like they they have that like it's almost like a buttery taste because of the tallow.
SPEAKER_09:It is, isn't it? It's yeah, it's like a it's both rich and a slightly sweet at the same time, almost.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but I mean, like if you got the money for it, bomb, they're good. Like they're and like I don't have to feel bad about eating them too much because one, they're from a Catholic family, and it's like the ingredients are literally potatoes, beef tallow, and sea salt. Sea salt.
SPEAKER_09:I mean, that's literally the ingredient list.
SPEAKER_04:Three ingredients. I'm like, this is amazing. It's not probably not organic, but whatever. Like it's still like if you only got three ingredients, like your organic light, but yeah, they're they're good. I'd if they were 25% cheaper, I would order them more regularly.
SPEAKER_09:The the big downside to them that I have is that my two-year-old loves them and has eaten easily 30 bucks worth of potato chips. I can see that. I cannot justify buying a two-year-old buy eating 30 bucks with potato chips.
SPEAKER_04:It is it is not hard as a medium-sized adult to eat an entire bag of chips by yourself, like it's not filling, so like you don't realize how much you're actually eating.
SPEAKER_09:The thing with the fatins, so one, the bag is smaller than like a big bag of like Lay's, and they're good, they're addictive. Yeah, but when you get to the end of that bag, it's not like an end of like on one hand, you don't feel like you don't feel as oily. Yeah, you know, like if you eat a bag of lays, like you feel it in your hands, you your face feels oily. You don't feel that with a fat that, but you feel like you ate a lot of something, you know, like it they it does fill you up more than like normal potato chips.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04:I and yeah, I I agree with this. A lot of times, it's like it's like the same thing with grass-fed. As long as something's grass-fed 51% of the time, it they can label it as grass-fed, right? Same thing as organic. But if something has gone through the trouble to be labeled organic, they are trying, they are at least 51% better than other food. Okay, so if you can get something, yeah, it may not be 100% organic because they may have like skirted under the rope on some things, but it's still better than most other food you're gonna eat. Yeah, like that's why we do like my wife was like today, she's like, We're supposed to get really cold temperatures here and like really high winds. So, like the the I think the cold chill is supposed to be down like the seven, right? Seven degrees in Alabama. Brother, brother, ridiculous. The wind chill was negative 84 for me last week. Don't talk to me about that. You're like a penguin, you're used to it up there. Down here, like the penguin. It gets you're like the penguin. Down here, it gets to like 100 degrees in the summer with 100 humidity. You're breathing water down here, okay? Like, we should not be getting down to seven degrees. So, my wife is like, What do you want to do tomorrow? You want to go to Costco? I'm like, Are you crazy on a Saturday? Do you hate yourself? What are you talking about? Going to Costco. So we're tomorrow. We're going to Costco and we're gonna go look at something. Sometimes you gotta just just fight your battles that are worth fighting. Like I like Costco, they have a liquor store right next to it that's probably the cheapest liquor in Alabama, and so I'll go there for that. And sometimes I like to look around, but we have a we have a Costco membership because they have so much organic food. Yeah, we have a I don't know what to call it, it's like a it's like a coffee shop deli and grocery store here run by some like Mejigori type people. That's awesome. I love that, but but they sell this little store.
SPEAKER_09:I'm just scared that this implies that he's working on the team Edward for me.
SPEAKER_04:But they they sell raw milk there, and it's like like$28 a gallon. What? Right, and like I get raw milk for free when my milk's when my cows are in milk, but they're not in milk right now, so I have to buy milk, and in the farm we usually get it from, their cows aren't in milk either because their their farm got hit by a tornado last year. So I had to buy a gallon of milk today for$28. Because that's my wife can only drink raw milk, she's got she's lactose intolerant, so she can't she can only drink raw milk.
SPEAKER_09:Look, look for getting milk 20 at least 20 bucks less, that might be worth a few dairy shits, okay? A few dairy squirts, you know, exactly.
SPEAKER_04:You might paint the toilet, but you know what? We only spent eight dollars instead of twenty-eight dollars. This is definitely a twenty dollar poop.
SPEAKER_09:You can spend the 10 of the the 20 you saved on Pepto Bismol and still come out ahead. Yeah, so Costco, Twilight, and Voorhees. The perfect weekend.
SPEAKER_04:Look, I am I'm a Renaissance man. I don't know if y'all know this, but uh, I'm a man.
SPEAKER_09:Well, the Renaissance was really gay.
SPEAKER_04:So many many facets. I have I'm like an onion, I've got many layers. You never know what you're gonna get with me. Uh nobody at the parish is that's why that's why like no one at the parish comes to my house is what probably what it is. This dude's weird. He likes Twilight and Costco. Look, hey baby, you want to go to Costco tomorrow, and then tomorrow night we'll watch some Twilight? I rub your head. My wife, my wife would love that.
SPEAKER_09:She would love it. So uh I'm not a big fan of movie theaters in general, and I'm also just not a big fan of movies in general. So my wife tomorrow is going to the movie theater by herself. Bro, what's she going to watch? I'm not even quite sure, to be honest.
SPEAKER_04:Something I don't want to see. I don't even follow what movies are in the theater anymore. I took my kids to go see David like around Christmas, like right after Christmas. Good movie, by the way. I highly suggest you watch it. It's good, it's actually a good movie. But now they now they have the soundtrack. Look, I am confident and comfortable in my sexuality. So I'm not afraid to let my vulnerabilities out. My love for Michael Morris. Michael Force.
SPEAKER_09:By the way, this is not where I saw this show hang earlier today.
SPEAKER_08:The YO DO YOTO. YOTO? Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Like totally.
SPEAKER_04:I'm going to deduce by your quizzical tone of your voice that you've never heard of it. So I got my boy a YODO for Christmas this year. My wife and I did. I sent it to her earlier in the year because some other Catholic families have talked about it. And basically it's like a little radio alarm type thing. And if they want to listen to I've I've seen this, it's on a card, right? Yeah, yeah. That boy carries it around like a boom box. Does it on his shoulder, right? Walking around, uh putting his cards in. But we bought a we had a bunch of audible credits, so I got him a bunch of books. So he's like listening, like Sherlock Holmes, Winnie the Pooh, 20,000 Lings Other Sea, like a bunch, and like he just devouring the stuff, man. And I can like at night, I can turn it off so he can't like through my through an app, so he can't like listen to it too late or whatever. Like this thing's amazing. I highly suggest. I got my girl one, uh, one of my daughters one. It's a little one, it's like a little travel one. And it takes the cars too. They're amazing. Like if you if you're looking for a gift for your kids, look at the YODO, it's amazing.
SPEAKER_09:Audible food stamps. So you're I the thought that popped into my head when you talk about your boy carrying it around like a boom box. I just want you to know you're the reason why that pop thought popped in my head. Okay, I just pictured little mini Adrian, basically, you a child with your head on top, okay, holding a boom box. The uh the intro to to that one yeah song.
SPEAKER_04:I should I should slip that in on his playlist. Boom, boom, boom.
SPEAKER_02:Dad, what is this song? Just listen, buddy. Just you can join this. You can let soak it in. Just soak it in. Oh man.
SPEAKER_04:I've got him so I I've got him listening to some Leonard Skinner on it and some some Creed, obviously. Obviously. Of course. Yes, of course. Seriously, what else will you listen to? Uh what else have I got on there? I gotta throw some Pearl Jam. Like, I want to throw some Pearl Jam on there for him. Like, I'm trying, like you know, some Led Zeppelin. Try to like give them the classics, you know, and then we'll get into the Sabaton, you know. Of course. And did you ever listen to the not the demon?
SPEAKER_09:No, I didn't. You're missing out. You're missing. I don't listen to a lot of music, to be honest. You just listen to podcasts, audiobooks.
SPEAKER_02:Dum, dumb, dumb. I catch myself when I do it.
SPEAKER_09:I catch myself humming that way too much. And it's because of all the Instagram reels you send me. You're welcome.
SPEAKER_04:I find I cultivate the best Instagram reels and send them to you. Like I they have to go through a very high standard to make it from me to you.
SPEAKER_09:Just so you know, I send them all right to my wife, too. Good.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, she she yep, and like probably like half of them she doesn't get, you know what, but she will one day.
SPEAKER_09:One day she'll get okay. So last weekend I will we watched Blackhawk Down. She'd never seen a podcast. Okay, we had to watch Black Hawk Down so that she understood all the Black Hawk Down memes about small ins that I was sending her. She's like, What do you mean, Irene? I'm like, okay, hold on, we gotta watch a movie right now.
SPEAKER_04:Now she's like, Gordy, Gordy's gone. Gordy's gone, man. Gordy's gonna be outside.
SPEAKER_09:Then I had to tell her what they did to poor Gordon and Shugart. No, no, don't do that.
SPEAKER_04:Give her some innocent, man.
SPEAKER_09:I didn't tell my seven, I didn't tell my seven-year-old that, but I told her that.
SPEAKER_04:It's amazing. Like sometimes I'll have conversations with my kids and they'll ask me like the best questions. Right. And then I have to decide like, do I want to ruin some of your innocence by telling you the answer? And a lot of times it's no. So I give them some BS answer right now. And like I wonder how long how much longer I can push that off.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those things, especially with my boys. Yeah. Like duffs unraveling fast.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Like especially like you have a literally a front row seat to it. Almost.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, like it's gonna be the Fort Sumter.
SPEAKER_09:It does seem that way, which is nuts, dude. I would like you never heard in Minnesota talked about in the news when I was growing up.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Now it's like every week.
SPEAKER_04:Unless, unless it was Kirby Puckett.
SPEAKER_09:Holy crap, you know who Kirby Puckett is? Of course I know Kirby Puckett. No wonder why I like. Yes, Kirby Puckett, Prince, of course. There was a those who use Jews. What Prince was killed by the Jews. Hold on, what was his doctor's name? Give me a second.
SPEAKER_04:It's gonna be a steen, you know it.
SPEAKER_09:Well, it the funny thing is, or a berg, the doctor who prescribed him all the meds that he took, right? That ended up overding on was my wife's doctor. Because my wife is a cake eater from that side of the twin cities that Prince lives in. Yeah. So when that that happened on the news, and they're like, and doctor so-and-so prescribed.
SPEAKER_08:I'm like, Hope, that's your doctor, your doctor changing drugs right now. Right now.
SPEAKER_04:Zero B. No more baggage. No more bangers till we change doctors.
SPEAKER_09:Doctor who prescribed drugs to prince. Oh my gosh. Hold on.
SPEAKER_02:Bergerstein. I got a 50-50. I got a 50-50. I'm going Stein.
SPEAKER_04:Dr.
SPEAKER_09:Michael Schulenberg.
SPEAKER_01:Oh. So close. So close.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, he prescribed Perkset to print, but wrote the prescription in the name of Kirk Johnson. All he did was pay a$30,000 fine.
SPEAKER_04:Look. He probably got$100,000 to kill him.$70,000 profit. That's easy do math.
SPEAKER_09:That should be a subject in school. I suppose it is, they just call it personal finance.
SPEAKER_04:How to balance a checkbook.
SPEAKER_09:Meanwhile. I'm trying to go through my Instagram reels to see how how many reels I have to go through before that song comes on.
SPEAKER_04:Less than a dozen. Guaranteed.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, guaranteed.
SPEAKER_04:Guaranteed. I kept seeing some activity going on with Iran earlier. Let me see if anything's going on with that. The people who people who like follow our X are like, man, they're still on. They won't stop talking.
SPEAKER_09:Did you hold on? Did you see one of the so not that any of it is funny, but the funniest bit of news to come out about Jeffrey Epstein today? What? He was banned from Xbox Live in 2013 due to harassment threats and/or abuse of other players. That was quote severe, repeated, andor excessive. Well, it definitely wasn't making fun of Jews. No, that's definitely true. That's definitely true. Uh no, we're 10 holy wow, almost three hours. That's that's a long time.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:But it's been fun. It has been fun.
SPEAKER_04:Probably one of my one of my favorite shows we've done so far. It's just been fun. I had no idea.
SPEAKER_02:It's been almost three hours. All right.
SPEAKER_04:It's a marathon. Let's see what else we got. David versus Mr. Incredible Night Goliath. Man, the CGI render on Night Goliath was terrible. Well, I don't know what that was about.
SPEAKER_09:Hold on. This is not racist, but it's still funny.
SPEAKER_04:Why are you showing it to me?
SPEAKER_09:Because it's very much in line with the theme of the show. Not this specific episode of the show in general. Show it to me. Hold on.
SPEAKER_02:Here we go. Come on, Anthony. Let's do it. I don't know. Yeah, I've seen this. Hold on. How do I restart it?
SPEAKER_04:There should be like a sliding bar at the bottom. On the phone there is. Yeah, on the phone there is. Can I just do this?
SPEAKER_08:Yes.
SPEAKER_09:He alive what he was doing here.
SPEAKER_08:Like, I don't know. Sir, why are you smiling right now?
SPEAKER_09:Why am I smiling?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, why are you smiling?
SPEAKER_09:You're clearly experiencing joy.
SPEAKER_08:Like, I just never thought it would happen. You realize this is not a good thing. Burglar would try to come in and rock me. Like, it was just like, sir, sir, sir.
SPEAKER_09:Are you experiencing some kind of trauma right now? And you want to come see real quick?
SPEAKER_08:Wait, sir. Are you talking about the burglar? Yeah, no, he's he's just right here.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, he didn't give up anybody ever again. Definitely not okay.
SPEAKER_08:He's a pretty big guy.
SPEAKER_09:Please don't tell me his lady.
SPEAKER_08:Oh my gosh. Put the body down. Put him down.
SPEAKER_07:Calm down. Calm down. Step away from the individual.
SPEAKER_04:Did they like push him back?
SPEAKER_06:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_04:I once got a call when I was working at the fire department to go do a body retrieval because the guy had climbed like a external wall to get up on a roof that overlooked into a bedroom. And apparently the man shot him through the window and through the eye and killed him. So we had to get the body down, right? So we had to get the body, and then we had to hose off the the roof too to get all the blood off of it. Um not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, the guy does remind me of Adrian.
SPEAKER_04:And uh so we and so we had to get this body out, get it down, and we got you know, we had the body bag carrier or whatever, yeah, and brought him down. And like that was the first time I ever had to do a body retrieval on the fire department. And apparently, like these guys were like, This is like the tenth one they did that year. Like people getting shot all the time trying to burgle houses in Atlanta, apparently. I suppose that it is Atlanta. What is it? What would you do if I is this like one of those videos? Like, what would you do if I came in your house and I was starting cooking all your pizza rolls? Do you ever see those videos?
SPEAKER_09:Ask for a few, probably.
SPEAKER_04:The guy and the guy, the guy who does the videos, he comes out and he's like, guys, go ahead and cook your cookie rolls, but I want to or you're just your pizza rolls, cookie rolls, you're but you gotta be quiet because I want you to know my wife is sleeping right now, and she will kill you alive, so you better keep it down. That's hilarious. All right, what would you do if I showed up in the back pew of your pair? Six foot two, 167 pounds, dark with like dreads, is that what's supposed to be? And glasses. So what? We got a guy that shows up, he's got tattoos on his face, right? And like whatever, show up. I'm gonna tell you to put some weight on. You're only 167 pounds, you're a stick. We're gonna we're gonna dig you downstairs and feed you. This is what we're gonna do. Joe Pfeiffer.
SPEAKER_02:Joe Piper? Who's that? I don't know. But somebody thinks I look like Joe Piper.
SPEAKER_09:Do you want to see the burglar's head?
SPEAKER_04:Uh see. Did you see the meme where Jesus broke into the house and asked, What will you do if I broke into this house right now? The black guy held up a bottle of water and asked Jesus turn it into wine. Yeah. I mean, why not? He's there. Why not? From UFC. I don't know. I don't really watch UFC anymore. I used to watch a lot when I was in the Marines, but not so much anymore.
SPEAKER_09:Kill you alive. My grandma always told us she was gonna knock her GD heads off.

SPEAKER_04:That's all that means. Oh my gosh, but no one was hurt more by finding out Michael Voris is a fairy than myself. Well, that's not true. I kind of saw it coming. I met the dude.
