Transcript

SPEAKER_12 0:13

All right, welcome, welcome. Here we are with another episode of the Slack Doctors. I am Dr. Chip. I am Dr. Bob. And it's another kind of half rainy, half sunny day here in Florida. I almost took the bike again. But there was definitely a little bunch of puddles left on the ground. Anyway.

SPEAKER_11 0:37

I have to say it's a very lovely day here in Gainesville.

SPEAKER_12 0:40

Yeah, I was gonna say you can't.

SPEAKER_11 0:41

72, 73, the skies are blue, and I don't see any clouds out there.

SPEAKER_12 0:45

It's nice. Yeah, and you can tell it's in the process of clearing up here, but just not quite enough to where I could have brought the bike. It was just a little too sketchy.

SPEAKER_11 0:54

So have I ever bitched about the trees in Gainesville, the amount of trees and the types of trees? No. Specifically the live oak. So there's this giant, giant live oak in my parking lot, which helps shade the apartment. I gotta give it credit for that. But unlike trees up north that shed all their leaves in the fall, this thing sheds all its leaves and its pollen in the spring. Right when all the rains are coming. So it's ridiculous the amount of leaves that fall. And the reason I say this all set up set all this up is because I kind of pulled a dick move the other day, not on purpose, but I had to go to the store and the whole hood of the car was covered in leaves, and I brushed everything off. They were all down, you know, like up by the windshield, down in the air intakes and the grills and everything. Like, this is not good. This is going to be an issue. So I go straight to the gas station, put $2 in the vacuum thing, and start vacuuming up the leaves. And before I got done, I'm pretty sure I destroyed this vacuum and completely clogged the shit out of it. This thing was meant to vacuum like the inside of your car. It was never meant to vacuum giant mats of wetties of polish.

SPEAKER_12 1:56

You clog the gutters on that thing for sure.

SPEAKER_11 1:58

Yeah, I got about 80% of it done, and then just dug the rest of it out with my hands. And two days later it was full again, but still I feel a little bit bad about it. Well, yeah, you gotta stop parking under the tree right now. Is that your one spot you have to park in? It's not my one spot, but it's it's there's really not a spot in this lot that doesn't have tree coverage, you know. I could park around the back side of the building, I could do that.

SPEAKER_12 2:20

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_11 2:21

It's funny. The pollen itself is neon green. Yeah, it just stains everything. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:26

It's I was gonna say similar problem in my place, but with the mango tree, and it's whatever little seeds come off the mango tree, it's like just coating all the walkways. It's like walking around on like rice crispies or something.

SPEAKER_11 2:41

I just saw a short the other day on YouTube of some Asian woman cutting open and showing this supposedly they now have it can make a mango with no seed. I strongly suspect it was AI. I don't think that they have a seedless, pitless mango.

SPEAKER_12 2:58

Well, I don't know how they have seedless anything. How does it reproduce? How do they make more of them? I don't know.

SPEAKER_11 3:03

Who knows? Well, it itself doesn't reproduce, and in one sense, that is kind of the a perfect gold standard for the producers of it because it can't be, you know, you can't buy one, take the seeds out, and then make more for free. You literally have to just keep buying the product. Monsanto loves stuff like that.

SPEAKER_12 3:20

How do they do it? Just keep grafting or something, or I don't know.

SPEAKER_11 3:24

Well, I mean, they've been reducing the amount of seeds and pith and stem and inedible portions of fruit for hundreds of years just through genetic, you know, just crossbreeding and going for favorable traits. But I do think that there's a little bit more to it now. Like if you look at old Victorian paintings of fruit, especially melons and watermelons, they look drastically different. There's huge amounts of seeds in them and dividing sections. Like there's it's not red all the way through like the way a watermelon is now.

SPEAKER_12 3:55

Not only that, I mean, you know, something as as new as corn, since you know, Europe didn't know about corn till about the what 15th, 14th, 15th century. And at the beginning after the Colombian exchange. Yeah, I mean, at the beginning when they first had corn, it was nothing like the corn we have today. You couldn't just make it at eating it off the cob. There was no yeah, you had to it was more like wheat.

SPEAKER_11 4:17

You had to grind it up and do something with it. Yeah, you couldn't just exactly and it looked very much like a wheat stalk. It was called teocente. Right, right, right. Anyway.

SPEAKER_12 4:28

Now there's all kinds of corn. True, true. What do you think? You want to hit the phones first or do some clips first?

SPEAKER_11 4:36

We could do the phone first. I think there's only two messages.

SPEAKER_12 4:39

I was gonna say, no, I left a couple. I remember what one of them is about, I think. I can't remember what the other one is about.

SPEAKER_11 4:47

All right, we'll start with the the first of the two.

SPEAKER_08 4:52

Well, it looks like Kim Jong-un has won North Korea parliamentary elections with 99.93% of the vote.

SPEAKER_12 5:01

I don't believe that for one second. Who would be stupid enough to be the 0.07% of the people to vote against that guy? And who would they vote for?

SPEAKER_11 5:11

Right. That is a really good point. Obviously, the term election is being used loosely here. Well I think they just released those stats so that they can say that it wasn't 100%. I mean, who knows? Well, here's the thing. Yeah, who was the other guy?

SPEAKER_12 5:26

Yeah, well, not only that, but here's the thing. After I left that message, have you seen the poll they came out with on CNN lately about MAGA supporters? No. Now, see, I don't even know if this is real or not, but they got a guy on CNN showing a poll where it says MAGA supporters polled as to who still supports the president or not, and it says a hundred percent still support Trump. Yeah. I mean, there's no a hundred percent is first of all, that's ridiculous. There's no there's no way nobody said, no, I don't know.

SPEAKER_11 6:03

All polls are inherently uh flawed because it's people that are willing to answer a poll.

SPEAKER_12 6:08

Well, you also know the Ellison's just bought whatever, bought CNN, right? Whatever it was, whatever it was they just bought was all HBO and CNN and MSNBC now. Like even Rachel Maddow now is like working for the, you know, openly working for the Zionists. And and now I think that I don't know if that was one of the clips I sent you or not, but she had a clip where she was she was blaming everybody for all the problems in the Middle East and never once mentioned Israel. The whole thing. Oh, it was a Jimmy Dore clip, as a matter of fact. They were bragging on her pretty bad. But that I thought that was hilarious. And you know, who's gonna vote against Kim Jong-un in Korea and then just like hope they don't come visit you and say, What do you think you're doing?

SPEAKER_11 6:54

It's like, yeah, no, nobody's gonna vote against that guy.

unknown 6:58

Right?

SPEAKER_11 6:58

Yeah, here we call it throwing your vote away. There it's called throwing your life away. Throwing your future away at the very least. And also, don't they do the like the the three-generation thing? Like if you if you fuck up and you get in trouble, they get you like your your kids and your parents like it's yeah, it's almost like they don't have a caste system, huh? Yeah, well, they believe that like treason and whatnot is genetic or something, so you gotta go. Your parents, they're the ones that taught you to be you know a traitor, and your kids gotta go because you probably already taught them to be one.

SPEAKER_12 7:29

So speaking of which, speaking of which, you know, and I don't know if this is true, but I saw a clip. I I don't think it's true, but it was of Kara Kiriako. Kiriok, what did he say his name? Kiriacao? The CIA. Yeah, John Kirikow. But he was saying they've arrested Tucker Carlson. But I think that was AI. I don't think that's true, but they're definitely they're definitely you know of investigating Tucker Carlson for you know for talking to Iranians before the beginning of the war or whatever. But I mean, first of all, his dad was in the CIA. Second of all, his son still works for Fox News. Wait a minute. If he's if that's generational, then we got a problem. Anyway. So I'm reading a headline that says the TSA agents are quitting and the airports will close. At what point do you think capitalism might pop its rear its ugly head, and you know, somebody might say, hey, maybe the airport, the airlines should be paying for them to for people to screen your bags and make their airlines safe. And while we're at it, maybe they should start using their own traffic controllers that the airlines pay, that the airlines that make all the profit instead of the government. Yeah, I don't I'm wondering if they're gonna let them shut down the airports because of the TSA. I mean, if I was the president of an airline, I'd be like, right, right, right. We kind of need this money.

SPEAKER_11 9:04

Well, they have been delaying and canceling hundreds of flights. Miami, Atlanta, particularly.

SPEAKER_12 9:10

You would think one of these guys that run an airline, you know, who specialize in maximizing profits and making money, right? At their job.

SPEAKER_11 9:19

The precedent has already been set with the airlines with the bailouts. It's one of those, quote, too big to fail. They know that they will always be bailed out and they'll always be rescued.

SPEAKER_12 9:28

But even just like even if I for their shareholders, wouldn't you at some point go, listen, we'll we'll take care of it. You guys can, you know, we'll we'll get our own guys. We'll probably do it faster and better, you know, since the government's doing now, so you know it's going to be inefficient and horrible. Let the airlines do it. Let'll do it faster and better, you know, screen you boom, bing, bang, have you on the plane and no time, no lines. Why why are we still doing this?

SPEAKER_11 9:53

It's just and you can't personally hold it against the TSA employees that are not coming to work after not getting paid. No, they're just dude, they're government employees, they're just they're getting their paycheck.

SPEAKER_12 10:03

They don't give a shit. Not their fault. Anyway, it's just like, you know, why don't they, you know, airlines, aren't they making money? I mean, if they're not making money, don't they have to charge more or something? I mean, somehow this has got to change. This is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_11 10:19

Yeah, but you know what? Flights were not being delayed or canceled out of those airport charters. People own jets, and they're still fine, they can still fly. Oh, sure, yeah. I'm they don't even have to go through TSA, I don't think. No, and I have seen some articles and stuff about some airlines getting rid of more of their economy seats and bougieing up their first class because they make more money by selling less tickets to people in first class than they do by packing the back of the plane. It's better to have empty seats in first class. No, no, no. It's better to have more first class seats available and cater to luxury.

SPEAKER_12 10:57

They're gonna sell them, especially. Yeah, I would make the whole damn plane luxury if they have to. You know, but I mean it's gonna get expensive to fly. You're not gonna have you know you're not gonna have lower.

SPEAKER_11 11:07

In times when economics get bad enough, it oftentimes the poor cannot afford to feed themselves, but it has to reach a complete end point before the rich can't afford to treat themselves. Oh, yeah. And we're farming.

SPEAKER_12 11:23

Hey, listen, Amtrak needs business. You know, if they have to make it too expensive for regular people to fly, so be it. Get some high-speed rail going or something.

SPEAKER_11 11:32

You know, yeah, Amtrak is horrible.

SPEAKER_12 11:35

Trying to do anything or any kind of I just saw something where a guy supposedly bought a ticket. I think there's a brand new it was like a new train. I don't know if you could take your car with you, or if it was just like a luxury train, kind of like a little more expensive, and it had a nice, nice food and a nice dining car and stuff like that. And I forget where it went, but I don't know. There's a whole like half-hour thing about it on YouTube or something like that. It was like, oh, that don't look that bad. I mean, other than the fact that you are in a train going slow as shit, can't be in a hurry. But other than that, it didn't look that bad. It was like, oh, that could be pretty nice.

SPEAKER_11 12:13

You should check out the Bright Line sometime and ride that bitch up to Orlando, and I'll come pick you up. All right, let's run some clips.

SPEAKER_12 12:21

We got a ton of them to go through, and they're all pretty much.

SPEAKER_11 12:24

All right, well, we'll start with the outlier of the ones that I have pulled up. The rest are all pretty much concentrating on a single subject. We've talked a lot on this show about what's gonna happen after Iran. We've been hinting about the whole Cuba thing. So here's a little footage of Trump talking about that.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Yes, person who's Cuban and made a fortune in sugar, you know, Funhule family, right? And this family wants to go back to Cuba to visit it. They haven't been back in like 50 years or something. They come from largely come from Cuba. And we'll see what happens. They were asking me about that. They want to go back. A lot of Cubans have said, oh boy, would they love to go back? I think Cuba, you know, it's in its own way if you know tourism and everything else. It's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a China. You won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. But I think Cuba's the end. All my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba. And when will the United States do it? I do believe I'll be the honor of taking Cuba. I'd be good on it. All right, that's enough of that.

SPEAKER_11 13:38

Yeah, just I didn't hear what you said during this clip. Oh, I was pointing out that the guy on the left over here, I don't know if you can see my mouse. Oh, he spent the whole time just staring at his phone. He didn't look up, didn't engage in what was going on at all.

SPEAKER_12 13:50

It's like maybe he was looking up how many hurricanes have hit Cuba because it's not out of the hurricane zone. What the hell is he talking about? It's firmly planted in the hurricane zone. We're gonna keep running clips. You don't have to change it. That's good enough for now. But anyway, that's the part I wanted to point out about that. It's like, it's what do you mean it's not in the hurricane zone? It's right in the hurricane zone. It's in the cone half the time. Anyway. Maybe you should go do something else. Looking for criminals that don't exist in places, you know, it's maybe that's not your thing. But that's all I really had to say about the Afro Man thing. I think it's great personally.

SPEAKER_11 15:59

Oh, well, I think one of the other clips has got another one where somebody's crying on the stand. Really? Oh, yeah. The pound cake guy. Oh, the one that talk about his.

SPEAKER_12 16:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 16:14

And that's painted you in a false light.

SPEAKER_04 16:16

It's caused tremendous pain in my life.

SPEAKER_05 16:20

I'll get to that. We have to go through false light first. So does it paint you in a false light?

SPEAKER_04 16:24

Yes, that my wife is cheating on me with Mr. Foreman. But we all know that's not true, correct? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Wait, you don't know if your wife's cheating on you or not?

SPEAKER_04 16:41

You want to go there?

SPEAKER_03 16:42

No, I just want to ask that question because you said we don't know.

SPEAKER_04 16:45

I just been with that woman since middle school. I would hope she wouldn't. But you know what? Once somebody puts it out there, it's out there. And it's a problem. So it's something we cannot verify the truth of. Is it a thing that can be verified, true or false? That's your point.

SPEAKER_12 17:07

Yeah, these people are not, they're not mental giants. The whole decision to even sue this guy was so not well thought out at all. It's just hilarious. And I actually watched another clip with this chick that's a lawyer, and she explained it. She goes, Look, for defamation, you have to prove that what they're saying is not true. And she's like watching this testimony. She's going, right, right, that's the right thing to say, right thing. And then they ask him, Well, did your wife sleep with Aphrodite? And he goes, I don't know. And she goes, No, no, the answer is no. No, she didn't. Now you've just lost the case. You know, they're complete morons. These people have no idea what they're doing.

SPEAKER_11 17:51

Anyway. Right. They weren't all just uh clips of the actual. I mean, if we want to hear him think this is the one where he's actually talking.

SPEAKER_12 18:00

Oh, where he's unapologetic. Yeah. That's a good thing. It's up to you if you want to play it. I don't care. Yeah. We got to pull it up.

SPEAKER_04 18:11

So what they did searching your house gave you the right to do everything you can.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Under the circumstance that I got freedom of speech, after they run around my house with guns and kick down my door, I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into a good time. And I think I'm a sport for doing so. Because I don't go to their house, kick down their doors, flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to play the victim and sue them.

SPEAKER_11 18:42

And in a nutshell, yeah, that's it. I saw a footage of him outside the courthouse, like being interviewed as soon as he came down the steps, and he said something about when life gives you lemons, make lemon pound cake.

SPEAKER_12 18:54

Have you seen the memes of Afro-Aman? No. Well, it's with which is funny, is he did run for president in 2024.

SPEAKER_11 19:05

So it'll be definitely helpful.

SPEAKER_12 19:07

It'll be two cycles in a row if he actually doesn't.

SPEAKER_11 19:11

That suit would definitely help, I gotta say. Well, he wore the suit. He was wearing the same suit in 2024. That's why he's not in the same physical shape, but it reminds me of Apollo Creed's outfit. Yeah, right. With the top hat. James Brown singing Living in America. I want you to play that.

SPEAKER_12 19:32

What's his name? I forget what the one design is, dude. He makes such a stupid comparison. Oh, what would Reagan do? That's a good one. Oh, and you know that's funny. There's no crying in fascism. You can't sit on the sand and start crying because you're a fascist.

SPEAKER_11 20:05

That was the very first clip. Yeah, I just brought it up. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 20:27

That is hell-bent on undermining the commander-in-chief, that is hell-bent on undermining our armed forces, and yes, is giving aid and comfort, propaganda to the enemy, as are individuals who I call the woke right neo-fascists, who are stirring the anti-Semitism pot, who are stirring the trash Christian pot. They are no different than the same voices we heard in the 1930s, and just as disgusting, evil, and reprehensible. All this talk about this war wasn't imminent. Why do we decide now? All this talk about what is the mission. All of this is used to try and obstruct, undermine, the spirit, and divide this nation. At a time when Donald Trump is doing what great presidents. Sorry, are you trying to cut in?

SPEAKER_11 21:20

It's hard for me to hear you. Wait his hand. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 21:25

Still, shame on you, Democrats, for what you are doing to this country. You will be remembered forever. You will remember as the isolationists of the 1930s. Shame on you, woke right neofascists. You will be remembered as the unpatriotic, anti American Jew haters that you are, I ask you. What do you think Jefferson and Madison would do in these circumstances today? What do you think Franklin Roosevelt would do in these circumstances today? Or Abraham Lincoln or George. Washington or even Ronald Reagan when they didn't have nuclear weapons in Iran. What do you think they would do? Okay. They would take action.

SPEAKER_11 22:08

We know exactly Donald Trump is operating in the tradition of our Yeah, there's plenty of food. I mean, Reagan was a huge supporter of Israel.

SPEAKER_12 22:16

We know exactly what Ronald Reagan would do. He would sell the missiles. Absolutely. What do you mean, what would Reagan do? That's like we know exactly what Reagan would do. Yeah, we we're not selling the missiles, are we? Maybe in the back door we are selling the missiles. Who knows? No, Reagan was absolutely a Zionist.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

Yeah, but he still sold that RAM missiles.

SPEAKER_12 22:43

And not only that, who are these Democrats that he's talking about? I don't see any Democrats saying shit about this.

SPEAKER_11 22:49

I'm ready for the next one. I thought that was hilarious. He would call up Ronald Reagan. All right, here we go. This one was the one you sent to me called Why Bother?

SPEAKER_08 23:02

You're doomed to fail in the big leagues. Pitch is a breaking ball outside.

SPEAKER_09 23:06

We had our first challenge, and the call is overturned on a pitch that was right down the middle of the plate that was called a ball.

SPEAKER_12 23:22

Alright, so what was the why do we have umpires anymore? Why are we bothering with umpires? All they're doing is adding an element of subjective subjectivity to the whole thing. I mean, I guess you still need them in the NBA and the NFL, but you could definitely get rid of them baseball. I think they pretty much almost got rid of them in tennis. Don't they already have like things that call in and out in tennis now? We have the video, we have the technology. Yeah, why are you wasting your time? Baseball does not need umpires anymore at all. Anywhere. They can play this whole only thing they need umpires for anymore, breaking up the fights. That's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_11 24:05

So you might as well just- never been a fan of baseball. It never appealed to me.

SPEAKER_12 24:10

I like playing baseball. It's kind of fun to play, but I never could watch it. But at this point, I just say replace all the umpires with bouncers. Just get rid of the umpires, put in just big stocky guys that can break up the fights, and that's all you need. Have them stand around and Yeah, it's stupid. A few clips, a couple of them are about the school that we've talked about starting. What did we decide we were gonna call this school? I don't think we ever came up with a name for it.

SPEAKER_11 24:36

We should come up with something clever for that. We'd certainly be better equipped than some of what we're about to show here. Some of the books that are available in the school library are more shocking than one might think.

SPEAKER_13 24:51

What's wrong, Navarro? I think you like a big s in your mouth. Ha ha ha. Page 23. The other boy.

SPEAKER_11 25:00

Your language is inappropriate. I think you're making our point.

SPEAKER_13 25:07

What's the educational business of talking about that? Is that going to help someone on the SAT score?

SPEAKER_12 25:14

For a small fee.

SPEAKER_11 25:17

We promise to not have that book in our library. It might help them on their SAT scores if they can get the instructor off alone somewhere.

SPEAKER_13 25:26

You're putting me out for what? For asking you to abide by the use. A board member held up a sign, but the audience couldn't hold up signs. This is tyranny, and we're dealing with a corrupt government system.

SPEAKER_11 25:46

I mean, that is insane that something like that would be in a school library, considering when we were in school, like you couldn't find catcher in the rye in the school library. I never went to the school library. I don't know. I could go to the school library a lot. It was one of the only cool parts about the school that I actually liked. I never went there.

SPEAKER_12 26:04

But, you know, that's where we can find a lot of customers. Chip and rum school for the way we're I don't know, rebels or something. I don't know. We'll have to come up with a name.

SPEAKER_11 26:17

It's hard to see which one this is. Sure, I'll just share it and see what it is.

SPEAKER_08 26:26

Thousands.

SPEAKER_10 26:27

Every stand-up comedian is like, oh, you have to be Catholic, that's gonna do child molestation. To whatever degree that that's true.

SPEAKER_11 26:33

Oh, another thing that we would do better in our school than these guys.

SPEAKER_10 26:36

It's way worse in fucking public schools. I think public schools have a 10x higher rate of child abuse than the Catholic Church. So if you're gonna be scared of something, you should be scared of public schools. What you need to provide for your children is protection from pharmaceuticals, protection from rapists and bullies, and love, which is not a monetary thing. You just like just be a normal human being. It's not a freak. I don't know how to teach you to not be a freak, but it's probably essential that you start learning.

SPEAKER_12 27:15

Yeah, so so for our school, I mean, I we are capitalists and entrepreneurs, but we we like to go with industries where the bar is really low. Yeah. We can promise not to rape your kids. We can make that unabashed promise.

SPEAKER_11 27:33

I went to public school and I can distinctly remember, I'm not gonna name any names, but you know, if anybody wanted to do some digging, I'm sure they could figure it out. When I was in high school, well, there was a coach that was kind of people kind of understood that he was a little more flirtatious with some of his female students than he should have. He eventually got in trouble for that. He did eventually get in trouble for that, but he got away with it for longer than he probably should have, I think. Oh yeah, yeah, sure. I don't think when he got caught was the very first time he did it.

SPEAKER_12 28:04

No, he'd been doing it for literally decades. Yeah, he'd been doing it. I mean, he didn't get caught till like at least 10, 15 years after we had graduated. But yeah, I forget his name. I can picture the guy, but I forget what his name is.

SPEAKER_11 28:17

I know his name, but again, I'm not gonna. I mean, yeah, I don't want to say his name.

SPEAKER_12 28:23

But again, again, we're talking about, you know, K through six. We're not we're not even you know, this guy was at least banging 16 and 17 year olds. We're not even we're not even talking. If you're gonna bang a six-year-old, you know, a six sixth grader, you got a major problem. There, uh we're not nobody can look the other way on that one. That ain't happening. All right.

SPEAKER_11 28:44

Well, now I want to blow let's play a couple of clips of some uh Wait, wasn't there one about the grant?

SPEAKER_12 28:49

Play the one about the grant. That's about the school. About applying for grants?

SPEAKER_11 28:52

Okay, we'll check that one out. Right, this one's just a post. Uh stop applying for bank loans like a normal person. Apparently, there are $2.3 billion government grants available right now.

SPEAKER_12 29:10

I didn't even send this to you for the show. I just sent it to you for us to look at for us. We should be eligible for some kind of grant. Let's get the money, let's get the government to give us some money. Well, I thought you were talking about a grant for the school. Well, whatever. If we have to call it a school, a good church, whatever we gotta do. If they want to give us money, we are willing to learn. They're giving away money.

SPEAKER_11 29:33

Let's get on the gravy train, man.

SPEAKER_12 29:35

What the hell?

SPEAKER_11 29:36

Yeah, but this is the only thing you sent to me about grants, so I'm assuming I thought this was a good thing.

SPEAKER_12 29:39

Yeah, I forgot. I thought it was about a school thing too, but I guess I was wrong. See, I gotta be more. I guess I title these things thinking that's gonna remind me of what it is, but they never do. I was always looking at the title like, what the hell does that mean?

SPEAKER_11 29:52

I used your in-show suggestion for the title of the one I we just put out today of producers and cars. Oh, right. Yeah, good. As we were doing the show, you're like, you know what we should call this one, right? Like, we certainly can. Let's see, we've got a couple of cool clips of some really odd musicians. I sent you something I found interesting, and then you responded with something kind of similar. Yeah, similar but different, similar in its two guys, and it's out there, right? That's this is on a YouTuber's a channel called Rick Biotto, he's got millions of subscribers, he's a big time YouTuber.

SPEAKER_06 30:30

Finally stopped emailing me about this. I've been doing this 10 years on YouTube, and I have never gotten more emails about a band than this band. At first, I see these things pop up, and honestly, I just kind of ignore them because the name of the band is so weird, and I'll talk about that in a second, that I didn't even know what they're talking about. I didn't even realize it was a band. I thought it was just a person. It's like, why is somebody emailing me? This started last December, so whatever, four months ago. And now, like 25 emails a day. It's insane.

SPEAKER_11 31:07

All right, we'll forward ahead here to actually show what he's talking about.

SPEAKER_12 31:14

That's just their interview. Let me read it. You should go back and say him to show him saying the name again. That is pretty funky.

SPEAKER_06 31:25

Here. Angine Du Poitrine.

SPEAKER_11 31:30

That's my which is French for either heart pain or chest pain. I think it's chest pain. I thought they said it was something else. No, I looked it up. It's chest pain or heart pain. It's like, you know, an oncoming heart attack. But now let's skip ahead to some of the actual music. It's like Doft Punk Met Primus.

SPEAKER_06 32:22

Now, beyond the weird costumes, they are playing microtonal music. Look at the fret spacing on the guitar and the bass. It's not like a normal guitar fretboard.

SPEAKER_11 32:40

Nothing about this looks or sounds normal to me. So you're a musician. What does microtonal music mean?

SPEAKER_12 32:46

We've talked about this before. Remember me talking about the fact that there's like, all right, so that you got A, A sharp, B, there's no B sharp. But our normal musical scale is set up by half tones. Well, there are tones in between that. Those are the microtonal, those are the microtones. So instead of, all right, so from in the space of A to B, you know, there's a there's a lot of little tones in there, and we normally just cut it in half. These guys, I don't know what division they're using. I'm kind of interested myself as to exactly where an octave on that is and how many how many frets between a note, because it's clearly more than two, which is what uh everything we ever have dealt with usually is, you know, you made a point about how it's not a regular, you know, looking guitar.

SPEAKER_11 33:37

Have you ever come across one physically? No, a microtonal bass? No, never. Never seen anything like that, ever. All right. Well, let's play ahead and listen to a little bit more of it. Yeah, it's weird. All right, I'm gonna add one more parentage into the mix. It was Primus, Daft Punk, and maybe a little bucket head. Oh, you gotta put some Devo in there. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 34:14

How are they playing these things?

SPEAKER_12 34:23

I mean, what they're doing.

SPEAKER_11 34:33

It's different and it's technically interesting. I can tell you pleasing to the ear.

SPEAKER_12 34:37

Like I can tell you exactly what they're doing. They're saying, let's take every song that's ever been a huge hit and do exactly the opposite.

SPEAKER_11 34:48

Well, it worked for George Costanza. Let's see. I'm telling you, that is what they're doing.

SPEAKER_12 34:52

They're doing everything off time, they're doing everything kind of like out-of-tune and disjointed, and they're literally everything that ever made any song a huge hit, they're doing the exact opposite.

SPEAKER_11 35:07

All right. So after I sent that to you, you responded with that it kind of reminds me of these guys. So a little bit.

SPEAKER_12 35:14

I've seen these guys for a couple of years. These guys are pretty wild. But it's a little bit more musical, actually, believe it or not. Turn it down a little bit. This is gonna get really loud.

SPEAKER_11 36:07

Yeah, that guy looks like he's got a pretty good gig. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, that slaps.

SPEAKER_12 36:22

I like that. That that one didn't even have any saxophone in it. The guy's actually a ripping saxophone player. I sent you another clip where the guy was actually gonna analyze it that the guy does a saxophone riff. And the guy's like, holy shit, that's the best saxophone player ever heard in my life. Or some shit like that. It's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_11 36:40

Yeah, I mean I like the whole setup. Again, the guy driving looks like he's having way too much fun.

SPEAKER_12 36:48

I mean, there's different stuff out there. There's definitely different stuff other than Doa Loopy, or I don't know, I don't even know who's who's other than what's her name? Taylor Swift. I don't even know who's on the charts anymore. I looked up the charts not too long ago just to see, you know, it was like, who the hell are these people and what is this crap that they're passing off as music? It was scary, man. Some of it was actually pretty good, but a lot of it was like, what the flunk is this?

SPEAKER_11 37:18

I don't know if we've mentioned it or not on the air. Sad news today, and the passing of Chuck Norris, you know. Yeah. A great American. I don't think there was a lot of people that didn't, I mean, even if he didn't like his movies, never any scandal about him. I don't think he was ever involved in any kind of I can't think of anything. You know, he was married to the same woman for decades. Yeah, generally a good dude.

SPEAKER_12 37:43

And supposedly didn't he didn't he teach Bruce Lee or something, or trained with Bruce Lee?

SPEAKER_11 37:49

I know he was in a movie with Bruce Lee, but yeah, he was friends with him, trained with him, in movies with him. I don't know that he ever trained him in anything. Carlo, this might interest you that Chuck Norris was Air Force, uh, served in the Air Force.

SPEAKER_02 38:02

Something like that.

SPEAKER_11 38:03

Yeah, apparently he was in the Air Force in South Korea, which is where he started developing his interest in martial arts and eventually went on to have black belts in seven different styles or seven different martial arts. He's a beast. I loved his movies back in the 80s when I was a teenager. I I can remember missing an action. Yeah, they were cheesy, but they were still fun, you know. Yeah, true. I can't remember what it was called, maybe Invasion USA or something, where he had like this denim vest with twin oozy submachine guns hanging from little chains like by his armpits, you know. So he would just grab a hold of both of them and it was fucking insane. I want to say that movie came out kind of around when Red Dawn came out. Right, probably much cheesier, campier Red Dawn, you know, more of a one-man wrecking crew kind of thing.

unknown 38:52

Right.

SPEAKER_12 38:52

Yeah, to be hit, you know, taken over. His slot was basically taken over by John Claude Van Damme. Yeah, right in the ice.

SPEAKER_11 39:00

He might have been one of the last, you know, action star, like and might have the only one who actually did compete as a fighter.

SPEAKER_12 39:07

The Gaul is actually an Akido uh a master. He's actually done a kid.

SPEAKER_11 39:11

The Gaulle never fought in any competition, though. They did. They got footage of him in competition. Is not really competition. Good point. All right, good point. And that's like saying he was, you know, WWE. It's an exhibition, not a competition. I'm not saying there's not athleticism involved.

SPEAKER_12 39:28

It's like they were actually fighting. Don't they have actual Akido fighting tournaments?

SPEAKER_11 39:33

It looked like they were actually fighting. You are dead on the money, and it was well choreographed. Akito requires a tremendous amount of cooperation.

SPEAKER_12 39:44

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, some of it is effective. Actually, I just saw an old footage of a UFC match. It was actually back when they were doing pure like skill versus skill, and it was a boxer guy, James Tony, against what's his name? I can't remember his name. The old guy from the Marines. Not Chuck Liddell, the other guy. Anyway, but in that it looked like he used an aikido mood to move to take down Tony. It looked like a Seagal kind of a keto thing. But anyway. No, they had regular UFC gloves. Oh, okay. And he got to throw like one punch and then he got taken down, and that was it.

SPEAKER_11 40:22

Those first several UFC things were sheer insanity. Uh sheer insanity. Watching a sumo wrestler fight against you know a guy who weighs like 140 pounds. And then the 140-pound guy wins. Yeah, but broke his arm in the process and didn't go to the next you know round of fight. Sometimes that was the case. He broke his wrist hitting him and it just kept hitting him with it.

SPEAKER_12 40:42

Right, right. Well, that's where Jiu-Jitsu made its made its debut as a a must-know sport in in the in uh or at least must-know how to counter sport in the UFC. Yeah. Is when Gracie went in there and just won everything. God, why can't I remember that guy's name?

SPEAKER_11 40:59

Even though people like to say it's not we're not great in a real world situation because other people will get involved, it still can be great in a real world situation because in a real world situation, you're not taking somebody to a mat, you're usually taking somebody to a parking lot or the corner of a table or a wall or a chair or something. Like the world is full of hard objects that form right angles. Uh, the ability to throw somebody into any of those things is pretty useful, I would say. Well, it's funny.

SPEAKER_12 41:27

I'm actually back on X after being in jail for a week, but a lot of my algorithm on X has for some reason been street fights, and it seems like everybody that weathers whatever punches that are being thrown grabs the other guy, picks him up, and throws him on his head, always wins. That's it. That's always the end of the fight. The guy lands on his head, he gets knocked out, and that's it. I mean, it seems like everybody throwing punches left and right, or if you can dodge them and weave them and get in there and just pick the guy up, throw him on his head, that's it. Remember that's over.

SPEAKER_11 42:00

That kid that went internet famous a couple of years ago. It was, I want to say it might have been in Australia or something, but it was this overweight kid in like a middle school, and this skinny kid was picking on him and a jab at him and everything. And eventually the fat kid just loses patience, picks that kid up, and slams him on the pavement or concrete. And when that kid got up, he was all kinds of fucked up. Yeah, that's it. That's the end of the fight.

SPEAKER_12 42:23

Every time it's like a drunken sailor, like every time.

SPEAKER_11 42:26

Captain Sparrow.

SPEAKER_12 42:27

Yeah, he was not good. I mean, let's say, even if you don't land on your head, at the very least, your ankle is gonna hit this pavement so hard, or your knee. Oh, this kid landed on his hip. Yeah, and he was jacked up right now. Something's hitting the pavement. Yeah, that's absolutely the case. Anyway, so we had a clips. Is that we run through them all?

SPEAKER_11 42:47

Yeah, that's all everything I had pulled up. We might save a couple for next show, but I think that's most of them.

SPEAKER_12 42:52

That's fine.

SPEAKER_11 42:53

We're getting close to the hour mark anyway.

SPEAKER_12 42:56

Well, anyway, we haven't mentioned 904-549-9024 so far today. Be nice to have a call someday. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 43:04

And you we can wishing well to uh young Ethan in Indiana. He actually just subscribed. I was shocked that he hadn't done it before. No, he hadn't been a subscriber. Well, it's funny.

SPEAKER_12 43:13

I was watching that episode with him right before I came, and I'll tell you what, he's not gonna like this comment, but he kind of looks like Rabbi Schmooley. Oh, he's not gonna like that at all, but he does. If you look at him, it's like, yeah, he does kind of got that look. Right.

SPEAKER_11 43:30

I wonder if he timed his trip. What is today? He's out of date, hopefully now, so he can't shoot me. What's that? But is today tomorrow the first day of spring, or is I think it's tomorrow. I don't know. Is it? Officially. The equinox, yeah. March twenty first.

SPEAKER_12 43:42

Oh, probably, yeah, yeah, that sounds about right. Who knows? You know, and that's the other thing. Who knows? Did the equinox work everywhere? It doesn't seem like this would be the time to plant right now, or whatever, or or sow, or or what is it? Do the equinox we'd be yeah, we'd be planting now, right? Planting for the summer, right? Planting in spring. Yeah. It doesn't seem like the time to be planting here in Florida. Possibly though. I don't know. We are getting ready to come up to the summer, but I don't know if that cycle works in everywhere. I think I'm obviously it works farther north you go. When you have to deal with winters and snow. But down here, seems like stuff is blooming now. You know, I don't know. The further away from the equator you get, the more drastic the Yeah, so obviously at the equator, does it matter when the equinox is?

SPEAKER_11 44:34

No. Well, it matters, but much less. I guess the equinox would mean And then in the southern hemisphere, our vernal equinox would be their autumnal equinox. It would be the opposite. Right. Our summer solstice would be their winter solstice. You've never been in the south of the equator, have you?

SPEAKER_12 44:49

I have not. You ever go south in in your now in the service? No, but I want to. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, everything's supposedly different.

SPEAKER_11 44:57

That would be the listening to Crosby Stills and Nash, Southern Cross. That's about it.

SPEAKER_12 45:02

But apparently everything's different down there. The water flows different, you know, the opposite direction. I heard a story once about apparently the Rolling Stones for decades couldn't figure out why whenever they went down to South America, they always sounded like shit. And it turns out the polarity is opposite.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

Oh.

SPEAKER_12 45:20

You gotta switch the polarity on all your electronics. You can't have, you know, plus is now minus and minus is now plus. You're doing it backwards. So yeah, it's for decades. They couldn't figure out why everything sounded like shit down there. And interesting.

SPEAKER_05 45:35

When you guys get time, you should look up Steven Segal's reggae album that he did.

SPEAKER_12 45:39

Oh, I've seen him play guitar. I didn't know he did a reggae.

SPEAKER_11 45:43

What does he say? He wants the punani or something in it. I think it wants the puna. That's gotta be. There's there's great YouTube videos of just like a sampling, a montage or a barrage of Steven Segal's various accents because in the same movie, he'll try to sound like he's a black guy from the hood, an Albanian. No shit. You know, and then a Jamaican, and then an Italian. Yeah, it's horrific. We've famously now his straight to you know, straight to DVD, whatever releases, some of the times he just fights sitting down. He doesn't even get up out of a chair.

SPEAKER_12 46:19

He shoots people and he fights sitting down. It's great. We've famously already made fun of how he runs. You've seen how he runs, right? Yeah, even when he could run. No, when he runs, he's like he has to paddle, like he's running like a dog. Yeah, yeah, but he can't run now. It's hilarious to watch. It's like most, you know, there's the Tom Cruise, and he's like, That's hilarious to watch.

SPEAKER_11 46:46

Apparently, the Terminator 2, the guy that played the T 1000, Robert Patrick or something like that, right, had run track and whatnot in college, and he was running so fast he was messing up the scene where he's chasing them when they're getting on the motorcycle and trying to get away from it, and he was catching them. Yeah, run more mechanical.

SPEAKER_12 47:05

Stop right. Run more mechanical. Take higher steps or something. Yeah, exactly. All right. I got nothing else. How about you?

SPEAKER_11 47:14

Nah, I think we've covered a lot of stuff today. Yeah, yeah. Of course, remind again people one more time. Well, I don't know why you wait to the very end, but call us at the slack line 904-549-9024. And vote Afroman. Yeah, yeah. Like, comment, share, subscribe, all that good stuff. Hey, I want to ask uh Carlo a question. Can you hear me?
