Microphone Monkeys
Microphone Monkeys is what happens when three microphones are left unattended and the producers don’t check the enclosure for sarcasm leaks.
Hosted by Randy Oparowski and Tripp Dettmering, this panel podcast proudly embraces the fact that none of the monkeys claim to have all the answers—just strong opinions, questionable metaphors, and a deep distrust of anything that requires a 400-page bill to explain. From libertarian philosophy and free-market capitalism to a classical, Constitution-as-written perspective, the Monkeys swing through current events with the grace of a three-legged primate on espresso.
Expect lively debate, self-inflicted insults, historical references that may or may not impress your high school civics teacher, and a relentless belief that voluntary exchange beats government coercion—delivered with enough humor to keep it from sounding like a think tank PowerPoint.
If you’re looking for polished punditry, look elsewhere. If you enjoy smart, irreverent conversation where even the hosts admit they might be wrong (but not that wrong), welcome to Microphone Monkeys—where free minds, free markets, and mildly unhinged commentary all share the same mic. 🎙️🐒

The head of the Microphone Monkeys, Randy O, is out sick. So the monkeys are left unattended and unsupervised. Luckily, the Zen Master Darren came up with some interesting topics...
Check out the Tripp (and Graham) has Issues podcast!
Here we come, walking down on the street. Got the girl. No flashes for me. Frame spray. I'm friendly on the train. Lock it down. No need for one of the microphones. People say we're on the kids lunch. Going to visit me and break. Hey, one of the microphone monkeys.
SPEAKER_00Welcome to another adventure of microphone monkeys. We've got the monkey barrel is just absolutely packed tonight, except for Randy O, who's the uh the head head ape of the monk monkeys here. And it's a warning for all of our listeners that expose themselves to foreign body fluids. Don't let this happen to you.
SPEAKER_05It's really sad. We we saw him on Wednesday. It wasn't looking pretty. Uh-oh. Vocal cords were distressed, eyes were watery. I gave him some of that immunity plus powder drink stuff.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05He perked up, but I don't think it could save him.
SPEAKER_00He's got to stay away from certain types of women. That's all there is to it.
SPEAKER_05He kind of failed. We put some pressure on him. I guess uh eating bad tacos. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, of course, we've got uh we've got magnificent Mike in the in the one corner here. He's uh gonna be enlightening us with his upper echelon IQ on a lot of our topics. We have the Hoff that's here to keep us grounded and also keep the women entertained.
SPEAKER_03It's a beautiful day on the South Strand.
SPEAKER_00It always is. And of course, we have Mr. D, the Zen of all of us from out west. And he's also, I have to give him props. He's the one that's given us the uh the topics for today.
SPEAKER_05So I did some surfing on that really quick because Randy was out.
SPEAKER_00You filled in quickly and uh with with great appalum. And that's why I want to start out today's discussion with one of my favorite actors, Val Kilmer. Now, Val Kilmer is having a resurrection, even though he didn't finish out a movie that he was in. Um it was, I guess the movie's called As Deep as the Grave. And um they filled in the missing uh scenes with AI-generated Val Kilmers at the various stages, I guess, in in his life. Um there, of course, uh Jason or Jackson Rathbone had, you know, he was just having apoplectic seizures over it because of the you know the the agreements that the that everybody in Hollywood had about, you know, no AI, no AI. But the filmmakers and um and Val's family signed off on this so they could do the project, and uh they saw that it was tasteful and something that he would do.
SPEAKER_05So he'd probably like it.
SPEAKER_04Pin Val Kilmer pass away.
SPEAKER_00He passed away, yeah.
SPEAKER_04He's dead, so they they recreated his because I remember watching uh Top Gun Maverick.
SPEAKER_00And his his that wasn't his voice in Top Gun Maverick. That that was AI generated.
SPEAKER_05That was AI generated. So he was probably game for this all along. I do too. Probably got it, I think so. And I think that's great. Keep the money flowing to the family, keep the money flowing, and just you know, on the other side, keep his name and his his stuff out there.
SPEAKER_00You know, my favorite uh movie of Val Kilmer's is real B rated. It's called Real Genius. Yeah, I love Real Genius.
SPEAKER_05That's an 80s movie, yeah. It was an 80s movie, and he was great in that. It was so much fun. He was young, yeah. He was really young. Yeah, the doors was fantastic. The doors, too.
SPEAKER_04I saw that at the at uh drive-ins.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you should. Well, now then revisit, I'm gonna download the doors and watch it again. He toned up himself all muscle, and then he became all fat. Yeah, and he did that for that movie. He and he he worked it. That was really good. Yeah, that was a good one.
SPEAKER_00Well, he's always been a method actor, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, he's fantastic.
SPEAKER_00Uh he was in I mean, going way back, I think he was in the movie Taps.
SPEAKER_04Um, yeah, he might have been. Yeah, with uh he was very choice, he he was very choosy on his movies, too. Very, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah. Doc Holliday. Doc Holliday, yes, yes, he did a fantastic job with that too.
SPEAKER_05So what's what's interesting is they it sounds like they've got him at various ages, yeah, right? So they're gonna have to adapt his look and age his look and still keep his movement fresh and realistic. I mean, this is the beginning phase of actually modeling the personality, yeah. Like scouring through his past movies, scouring through his social media and any recordings of him, and then recreating his personality and personality type, yeah, so that they model a character, an AI character actum uh after him.
SPEAKER_04So this is like first actor really experiment doing this with the AI.
SPEAKER_05Big name. I think I think there's been others.
SPEAKER_04There's either has but they're small parts, they're not like real talking. Someone that's passed away and now recreating them in movies.
SPEAKER_03Just gave me an idea on how I can reach a larger audience. Conversations with the Huff, the AI version.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, AI model.
SPEAKER_04I can haunt my wife after I pass away. I can do something AI for her.
SPEAKER_05I mean, it's a very it's a very black mirror sort of scenario. It's like I can see people though doing an interview with with a model, with an AI model, and the model just asking them hundreds of questions, going through your photo albums, and just generating you as you pass, or generating the sales model of you. So it's like you whatever product you're selling, you can talk to or idea that you want to promote or something. Whatever. I mean, it's coming, it's it's it's uh it's ready.
SPEAKER_00Well, with more AI news, uh AI outperforms human beings in um establishing establishing interpersonal closeness in interactions. Well i is that I mean it's almost counterintuitive, but then again, when I talk with uh speak with a lot of younger people, I can see that.
SPEAKER_05Well they have the what do they call it? The gen Z.
SPEAKER_03Talking bots, your best friend bots and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_05They they've got this Gen Gen Z stare, and they're saying it it's like a lifeless stare when somebody's communicating with them and they're saying that's because of the lockdowns, yeah. That's because of COVID, and they just didn't have the connection. Yeah, the dead from the neck up look, and that's you know, i i it's real interesting, but they're teaching empathy. I mean, AI is learning empathy from its data sets with uh with us.
SPEAKER_00And I think there is a lot of uh egocentrism that's crept into society where you know you meet somebody and you don't ask them questions, you just want to tell them I'm here, this is what I'm all about. What can you do for me? Goodbye.
SPEAKER_03So we're losing empathy.
SPEAKER_00Are we?
SPEAKER_04We're losing humanity.
SPEAKER_00Well, uh hum we're losing humanity to robots. I mean, that's what's going on.
SPEAKER_05The robots are all these data. We're becoming the robot. We these are free data sets for the robots. Every time you interact with AI, it it's grabbing that information and it's gonna use that information to train up the robots on communication and empathy and all of these other things. And that's that's why this stuff is free. It's it's just like clicks in social media. It's the same thing. But they're taking all that information and they're gonna use it to model the bots.
SPEAKER_04Well, it's like yesterday I asked AI about a cooling pillow, just example, sure. And all of a sudden, I'm on a pillow, cooling pillow that doesn't lose its form, doesn't have latex, and then all of a sudden it pops up and it has all the information, and it's like you said, after that, then down below it has all the companies that have those pillows. Sure.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and now imagine that because since that's free, you gave it to it, that's your interest. Imagine that being downloaded into these bots that are coming, real robots that are coming in the next five years. It's learning that data set, and we're providing it for free. Yeah, and the empathy that they're talking about in this article, it's probably outpacing humans because it's run all of these scenarios. Yeah, and it has access to those scenarios, so it knows how to act. Whereas a human has all sorts of baggage, right?
SPEAKER_00Right. Post-trauma baggage. Yeah, and they don't want to hear about anybody else's trauma, so they don't ask. They don't ask. So yeah.
SPEAKER_03The AIs are becoming more human also. You saw that commercial where the guy's driving, he's got a a Waze bot and he and he's got an iPhone. And he said, Alexa, tell me. And all of a sudden it goes, You're this is Siri. You're on an iPhone, you idiot. Oh, okay. Well, can you tell me how to oh, why don't you ask that bitch, Alexa? Yeah, so yeah, they're coming becoming more human.
SPEAKER_05It can be very contextual. We could probably base it on your geolocation. If you're in an idiot inner city, it can start swearing at you.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_05You don't want that garbage, food. You want this garbage.
SPEAKER_00You dumb SOB.
SPEAKER_05The part with the New York with a Brooklyn accent. Yeah. Shut up. I ordered two fries with that. What do you mean? What do you mean the bagels?
SPEAKER_00These ain't bagels. Yeah. Well, speaking of more human being failures, young adults are having less sex. Is that why I'm deafening silence?
SPEAKER_04Is that why I'm not getting hit on by younger women?
SPEAKER_00That's right. Yeah, that's the reason, Mike. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05We're real experts in this. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00This is from the Institute of Family Studies, and this is back from January of 2025. Yeah. And it's still continuing. Um, from the pretty recent, actually. Yeah, and and the more of this the data that's come out after that is showing that the trend is still going down uh for them. And this focuses on the ages from 22 to 34, which I mean, I I don't know about you guys. I mean, I was I was like a buck rabbit at at that age.
SPEAKER_05So are the women, especially.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I was a three-peckered milligoat.
SPEAKER_05You still are, but yeah, what's control next? Is it the plastics? Yeah, the microplastics. Microplastics causing this problem in the brain, or like like what's going on, or high risk, right? Because I get the children part, it's expensive. People can't afford homes, food, gas, all this other crap. They don't they have to have two jobs just to get by.
SPEAKER_00It's like I can't risk having a kid, so psychologically they're just disconnecting interpersonal closeness again.
SPEAKER_04They don't know how to do that. But yeah, did did the coronavirus turn maybe some kind of reflection on that?
SPEAKER_00I have no idea.
SPEAKER_04I think everybody was closed down for over a year.
SPEAKER_05All I know is some of these people locked themselves up for like three years. They're still locked up in jobs.
SPEAKER_00But all I know is but my you know, teenage sex drive was driving me absolutely nuts at that age. I can't imagine being able to suppress it because I have it was like this.
SPEAKER_04Like, what is it? Broken?
SPEAKER_00Oh, like I mean, I I can't imagine not being able to act on it, you know, uh because of garbage or you know, I I it this just seems very foreign to me.
SPEAKER_05The world you grew up in no longer exists. That's true. So such a true metaphor that's gone. We're dinosaurs and total dinosaurs. These guys are a whole new trip.
SPEAKER_03One of the worrisome statistics coming out of this is that uh Americans are having fewer children these days, and there's a certain number of kids you have to have to repopulate, you know, America.
SPEAKER_00Well, if it gets before that's their problem, we're gonna be gone.
SPEAKER_03Our population will go down. Yeah, and we're getting close to that number.
SPEAKER_05But we have UBI coming in the robots, so we don't need to replace anybody, and everybody gets free toilet paper. It's gonna be great. They're gonna be doing that in New York for you. They're gonna have their markets, their free markets, and their UBI. Those people are set. Why why even need people at that point? Exactly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, or monkeys. Yeah. Well, you know, going back with the robots too, the their the moonshot that they had that went around and they brought them back. Uh I know just recently.
SPEAKER_04I was my wife was talking about that. Yeah. We can understand that you they used to talk about light years when we were in in school. Yeah. And these guys made it there in one week. It took you a week to go. Ten days. Ten days. It took you a week to go to Wisconsin and back.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_04And these guys are back almost as long as you were gone.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I'm still trying to get my gravity squared away from it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Do you believe that it's a hoax? Because a lot of people think the original moon landing was a hoax.
SPEAKER_00I don't think it's that far away, so I don't I don't think it was.
SPEAKER_04It's 250,000 miles away.
SPEAKER_03There's a good movie about that with the sound set and everything. It was a very, very good movie.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I forget the name of it.
SPEAKER_05I mean, it's questionable for me. I think yes, you can go to the moon. I think yes, you could land on the moon now. I think back when we were in the Cold War and that race with the Russians '69. They they they had to prove a point to the communists. Political pressure. Political pressure.
SPEAKER_04And they believe it was real. I don't know.
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_04A lot of people think it was a hoax.
SPEAKER_05I think they sent the dogs, I think they sent the monkeys into the atmosphere. I think that the Russians sent people into the atmosphere, so did we. I I just don't know if they made it to the moon back then. It just seems so weird.
SPEAKER_00Do you think it was just later? Like when we had the whole cards and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_05I think it was later. And I think too, those people that are saying, Well, why didn't we keep going back? And then they said, Well, we lost the knowledge. Well, I don't think it's the knowledge. I think it's the learned necessity. Yeah. Right? We just we stopped doing it so we didn't we were focusing on other areas and the knowledge base went there.
SPEAKER_00Well, I think it's interesting that they're going to be building or they want to build um these structures on the polar parts of the moon because that's where the water is. And they're going to be able to, because it's frozen, they're going to be able to process that water to make oxygen and fuel and you know things to live on. And part of their plan for building it, robots. Of course. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04That sounds like total recall, the movie. Yeah, it does. It does. That's why it's a lot of people.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's what he kind of thinks of that.
SPEAKER_03They took a close-up picture of the moon, too. And there was a picture of Alice Cramden laying on the moon.
SPEAKER_00Tonam Moon, Alice. That's right. Ton the moon. But you know, when we're talking about the less sex. We have more genital news in there. Yes. RFK Jr. allegedly cut off a dead raccoon's penis. Allegedly, or did he? Well, I mean, I wasn't there, but I mean, that's what's been reported. And this was in the telegraph. Um, and I guess his daughter also said in an interview in 2021 that he uh uh she recounted him cutting off the head of a beached whale. What's wrong with this man? Well, they were I was reading the article.
SPEAKER_04What's wrong with the guy publishing this? Yeah, well, cutting off a whale's head.
SPEAKER_00What's funny is that's a task. The person who wrote this telegraph. She was she supposedly, you know, reports on health news. So this is kind of z bizarre on that, too.
SPEAKER_05So this might be BS.
SPEAKER_00Well, they they they said he had interest in um he he had interest in one time in his life, and he still has interest in veterin veterinarian sciences. Yeah. And he he said that he wanted to study it later. Well, why would you want to study a raccoon penis? He's a little Hofnose.
SPEAKER_03When you're snorting cocaine off of toilet seats, strange things can happen. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Well, there we got it, folks. That was the expert right there. That I knew he'd have the explanation.
SPEAKER_05We didn't even need to bring in a panel for this.
SPEAKER_00That's right. Now, if that's what so what is doing the gummy at night do? Yeah. Sleep. Okay. I didn't know if you'd like sleep. Cut off animal parts or something from this bizarre.
SPEAKER_05I mean, everybody's got to be.
SPEAKER_03That's the only time I don't think about sex, is when I have those gummies at night.
SPEAKER_05Uh don't look at me. I'm not psychic though. I'm free of all of that stuff.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you're too zen for for the uh for the gummies. What's your poison, Mike?
SPEAKER_04Give me a rig or smoke a rig or a joint, like old school way. Old school.
SPEAKER_00There you go.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I like that. I like that.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Not right now, but well, for more animal news, we also have chimps. We always have to have our monkeys in the monkey barrel. Chimps in Uganda are locked into a civil war after a they've been split apart.
SPEAKER_05What are they? They how all right, so they're out there in Uganda, they're in the wild, yeah, they're having a battle over something that we don't know about, and then we just come and split them apart, or are they on the body?
SPEAKER_00I think it was the other way around. We we had they they were living every all these animals were living okay, and then something happened.
SPEAKER_04Randy, Randy explained it. He had me laughing. But what was telling me, he said, Well, one monkey slacked another monkey, the other monkey thought it was that monkey, and they started slapping each other and then ended up in a big brawl. Well, it could be it was like a it was like a bar room brawl.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I guess they lived harmoniously, something that man did uh split them up temporarily and then something we did? Yeah, I think it was something we did, split them up uh geographically temporarily and then brought them back together? Brought them back together.
SPEAKER_05Oh, and the resources are the same, doesn't matter, abundant and everything else, but now all of a sudden they're they're they're acting at geo relocate these guys and throw them in front of another group, and it's like, oh, that'll work out, that's great.
SPEAKER_04Unless they're trying to test the monkeys that use them as warfare weapons.
SPEAKER_00Well, it kind of reminds me of what's going on in Iran. So yeah.
SPEAKER_03On Ugandan television, a reporter walked up to one of the monkeys or chimps, uh the chimp happened to be named uh Rodney. And uh the Rodney said, uh, why can't we all just get along? Right.
SPEAKER_05This is this is another one of those human failure stories again. Like let's reintroduce this and let's unintended consequences. Let's see what happens. Like, I I lived in Hawaii and they were always doing this stupid stuff. It's like, oh my god, we've got gigantic wharf rats that came in on the boats. Let's bring in mongooses. Uh yeah. Right, and the mongooses kill everything inside. Oh my god, we we gotta get something with poisonous toads, and those things kill your dogs and cats, and then it kills the people. And you know, the rats are still there.
SPEAKER_03Don't let don't let chips chimps uh read animal farm. That was a problem right there.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that was don't let humans integrate animals into uh foreign uh land.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, speaking of animal farm, um the uh Angel Studios introduced Animal Farm. Yeah, but I understand that it's not the uh actual animal farm, it's got a different spin to it.
SPEAKER_05Oh, great.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so some people are very upset about it because it's uh it's not leaning into Marxism as bad, it's leaning more into uh the oligarchy.
SPEAKER_05I thought it was like free trade they were against.
SPEAKER_00I guess it was free marketing and free marketing.
SPEAKER_05Everything capitalist is bad. So that makes sense from them out there.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean i the the author must be spinning in his grave for them to do that.
SPEAKER_05No, I mean you know, it's the whole 1984 thing.
SPEAKER_00Uh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05They just rewrite history and and you know, and Orwell wrote around that too.
SPEAKER_00We write books.
SPEAKER_05It's it's not not shocking. I mean, yeah, it's it's thank god we had the Lego movie. At least we got that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah. Well, it at least something was factual. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05That was like the only thing out of uh Hollywood in a long time that was well the Sun reports that eleven people, eleven space scientists, have gone dead or missing in the last five years.
SPEAKER_00The latest being uh Amy Eskeridge at age a age thirty-four, and she was she had a cryptic warning that she thought her life was in danger. Um allegedly the Trump administration is trying to do an investigation on these. You know, missing and so on, see if there's something put together.
SPEAKER_05Rather recent, actually.
SPEAKER_03There's a link here too. A lot of these uh scientists had a link to uh UFO investigations. And the government now is coming out and say they wanna they want to release the files on UFOs and extraterrestrials. So is there a link there?
SPEAKER_00Is there a now you were involved in in this stuff? Are you in danger?
SPEAKER_03Not at the moment.
SPEAKER_00Oh okay.
SPEAKER_03But uh I know you're I'm having a guest on that uh is a UFO researcher, and I'm gonna I want to ask her that question. Uphologist? Something like that, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05These guys, I mean, I think one was a colonel, and it might have been New Mexico that just walked off with nothing. Like he left his cell phone, he left his wallet, he left his clothes. He just walked off in an affluent area of New Mexico, you know, working at the Sandia Labs, is where that guy was working.
SPEAKER_03He wasn't involved in Area 51.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, he's got a long history. And this is relatively new. It's not just over years. These people have been disappearing. And evidently there's ones in China that have gone missing too that are doing similar propulsion propulsion research, right? So this could be a little Cold War beef going on between the big parties, big major countries.
SPEAKER_03A lot of that new uh aerospace technology is coming out of that uh hangar at uh in in Ohio, um the Air Force Base there. What do they call that? I don't know. Right, Patterson Air Force. Yeah, right, Patterson Air. And uh maybe it's all linked to that. You know, they don't want this new technology to get out there.
SPEAKER_00And Eskridge and this other one, they're out of Huntsville, Alabama, which is rocketry. Rocketry, yeah.
SPEAKER_05They're our neighbors practically.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05But don't tell people about Alabama, they don't need to know about that.
SPEAKER_00Alabama.
SPEAKER_05It's really horrible there. You don't want to go there, stick to Stockton, California. You'll be fine.
SPEAKER_00People just in Alabama going missing, no matter if they're involved with space or not.
SPEAKER_05It's just like you saw on TV. Just stay. Nobody wants your property value. You'll be fine.
SPEAKER_00Well, they also have more missing persons. Four uh nuclear, well, just not nuclear scientists, but people with nuclear ties, uh, have disappeared in uh New Mexico. And this was reported uh in April 16th.
SPEAKER_04Uh they're working for China?
SPEAKER_00I I just wonder if they have people are disappearing like crazy.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And I mean it's Are they being kidnapped?
SPEAKER_00Uh just Well, we'd have to ask Hoffman. He'd be the one that the first person I would say. Give it to us off.
SPEAKER_03We're getting closer to uh fusion generators nowadays, yeah. As opposed to fission generators. So maybe there's a roof, maybe there's an internal fight where the people that own the rights to the fission uh nuclear generators don't want the fusion stuff to get out there. Because it's it's it you could generate electricity a lot cheaper. What if it's the nuclear fusion?
SPEAKER_05This is a great point. What if it's uh oil and gas people knocking these people off because they don't want to use their market share with all the data centers and all the fun that's coming up for them? They're like uh they don't want us to have free energy.
SPEAKER_04Well when when they've taken out Elon Musk with his electric cars. No, I mean because they stopped the vault. That's all resource, they stopped the vault. They're making back in the 80s when that came out. That was their first, that was the first electric car. And the oil industry went nuts, and they told Chevy you gotta get the I remember people bought those cars, and they told the people, Chevy told them you gotta bring them back, we're gonna refund your money.
SPEAKER_00Interesting.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05I mean they've been blocking this stuff for a long time.
SPEAKER_03There's a long history of uh the oil and gas industry blocking technology that would uh threaten their business model.
SPEAKER_00There was a uh a novel shortly after World War II about uh where the the uh the all the oil conglomerates and so on were stopping um the information, I think it was called the formula, and where they were trying to block the uh the Nazi um secrets to uh what they call that? Uh liqu uh coal liquefaction, where they were converting all the way though.
SPEAKER_05This isn't this isn't real.
SPEAKER_00This is I g according to some people they said that the because they couldn't understand how the the Nazi war machine kept going on even though we cut them off from all the oil deposits.
SPEAKER_04I I mean I believe firmly they're suppressing energy in the beginning of the last century, didn't they have like pure ethanol can run a car engine?
SPEAKER_00Oh well yeah, I mean any type of alcohol or ethanol could could run uh a combustion engine. It just tears it up.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh it just contaminants and t and and so on. Because when you burn alcohol, it's got a like a thick uh ash kind of goo that is uh a repository from it, and that gums up an engine over.
SPEAKER_03Brazil's been doing that for decades now, making ethanol uh out of sugarcane.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And that's why even now with with all the ethanol that they have in the fuel that we put in our cars, it's always a good idea if you get a uh a fuel detergent uh to go in to burn that stuff out. Um because it shortens the life. That's exactly what it is. Ethanol is just taking corn and and and creating alcohol from but alcohol you can use out like rubbing alcohol they use for curing cuts and stuff. Right, yeah. And you can you can burn that rubbing alcohol too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just the different types of alcohol made out of different types of organic materials.
SPEAKER_04So you filter, you put a filter on the vehicle.
SPEAKER_00Well, the the filtering isn't when it's it's in a liquid form, it's when it's burned.
SPEAKER_04That's what I mean.
SPEAKER_00So when it's in in inside the cylinder and it's getting burned, it it gums up the cylinder, it gums up the uh uh the works, and that's why it shortens the life of the engine. And it's not as good as just burning uh uh petroleum, which will actually burns cleaner uh than alcohol. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04And what's with all the air purification? Everything is oh, you're burning the fossil fuel.
SPEAKER_05Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, it it's just the environmental gist of it is that a lot of these people we figured out with COVID, and you can see it rampant there. It's who's paying the bills for your research that generates the information and the data. So the data often ends up very skewed. There's a battle going on with climate change, real or not climate change, they're gonna just sit there battling that out while we're going through massive species depopulation. Yeah, and we need species to survive. The planet needs species diversity to survive. That's a known logic. But if we can get to the real raw data, we can see how good or bad it actually is. But since it's driven by these people who want their own results and pay for it, yeah, it's hard to figure out what's real and what's not real.
SPEAKER_03And we need CO2 in the atmosphere also for plant life.
SPEAKER_05Exactly. Yeah, and CO2 is actually good. Again, it's they fight propaganda wars with dollars, they pay scientists for information, they skew information, and then we're sitting there with limited resources to figure out what's real and what's not. Yeah, meanwhile, your bees are fucking gone. Oh, I swore I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_04It has nothing to do. Let's keep the bees, get rid of the horse flies and the mosquitoes.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, we we learned that monkeying around doesn't always work. We end up with like mutant mutant bugs at that point.
SPEAKER_03It has nothing to do with climate change, it has everything to do with how we can increase the size and the scope of government.
SPEAKER_05Yes, that's true. Yeah, you're you're right about that. But while we're monkeying around with that, we're losing biodiversity, which is gonna wipe us out. Wow. It is not cool. And nobody wants to walk outside and only see rats and cockroaches. I I don't. I don't want that for my kids either.
SPEAKER_00No, no. But I I was also thinking that uh we can do better. Yeah. Uh Hoffman's dream of a world filled with uh sex robots is also gonna go down the toilet if if younger people are not having as much sex.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that's true. They're not gonna have as much market to it'll really go down the toilet if they're not there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Just leaves more room for the robots. And the three-peckered billy goats. Get out of my bed, human.
SPEAKER_00Well, this has uh been an abbreviated uh Oh, there's not was there more? I don't have any more. I think I ran through all your things. Well, I thought you can remember. We're not gonna have the regular one hour.
SPEAKER_05What was I thinking?
SPEAKER_00Well, that's because Randy O wasn't here to uh to give us all the all the fantastic stuff out of India. That's what but hopefully he'll be back next week, and uh we'll have more coming from the monkey barrel, and this has been a fantastic uh episode without Randy. Um microphone monkeys. Uh I apologize we didn't record last week because I was off to a sojourn up to uh Wisconsin and just got back yesterday. And um everybody else here was uh dutifully doing different things and trying to stay healthy. So um again, I want to say goodbye to everybody, and hopefully, we'll have another wonderful episode of Microphone Monkeys. Say goodbye, everybody. Here we go!
SPEAKER_01Goodbye, everybody walking down the street, got the gold, no tax system, free to speak, and free to trade. Market stuff, no need for microphone, people.
