Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:13

All right, welcome, welcome, welcome. We are here again with another episode of the Slack Doctors. I am Dr. Chip, and returning with us back from the hospital is.

SPEAKER_04 0:24

I am Dr. Bob. Quite happy to be home, I might add.

SPEAKER_05 0:28

I'm sure you are. And you know what? We should actually, since he's been chiming in so vocally, especially in the episode you were missing, uh, we should also introduce our amazing producer. I don't know if we should call him Dr. Dean, Dirty Dean, uh Dean Dean, the dance machine, but Dean should definitely get some kind of I thought the man, the myth, the mucio might be a good one. That's not bad. That's not bad.

SPEAKER_02 0:50

I love it.

SPEAKER_05 0:52

Only if he wants his last name disclosed, though.

SPEAKER_02 0:55

That's okay. I know I had uh I had uh a lot of fun with Chip. I'm sorry you were in the hospital, but I stepped in where I was needed. And he did an amazing job. And now Dr. Bob is back. And I'm happy to say welcome back.

SPEAKER_05 1:08

Yeah. So you have any so much. Again, I'm happy to be back. I bet, I bet. Any fresh tales from the from the hospital?

SPEAKER_04 1:15

Uh I yeah, but I I we can save them for another time. I I don't want the show to turn into just uh Dr. Bob rants against the medical industry. I hear you. We got plenty of stuff to get to, too. Yeah, yeah. There was a yeah. I have yes, to long long story short, I I have things I could point out, but we'll we'll we'll come back to them.

SPEAKER_05 1:35

I actually have one video that I think you'll have something to talk about, but uh we should get start getting some of the we I know we got a couple of phone uh voicemails we should probably get out of the way because it might start aging if we don't want to start with those? Yeah, we got a lot to get to, so we better get to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:50

I think there's only five, to be honest. Yeah, but I got a ton of videos to watch, so yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:55

Okay, fair enough. Uh we'll start with the oldest. Yeah, we should uh discuss something about the straight of war moves.

SPEAKER_05 2:06

Um basically Trump has nothing to do, he has no say in opening or closing the straight of war moves, nor does Iran. Lloyds of London, the insurance company, decides whether the strait is open or not. If you don't have their insurance, don't go do that straight. And discuss. Yeah, I think this is if we haven't covered this before, it's been well publicized in the in, I think, regular media is that you know it's not it's not that uh, you know, anybody says it's open or closed, it's whether you have insurance or not. It's whether you go through, it's like, oh, we couldn't get insurance, we can't go yet. And until they go, okay, we'll insure you, and if you get blown up by the Iranians, we'll pay for it, then the the sort of the Hormuz, it's not going to be open. But uh anyway, all right, on to the next. All right. Here we go. Well, I just want to point out a lot of people are saying that uh, you know, Erica occurred canceling on her event uh since he was in danger, then why didn't J.D. Vance cancel? Well, I mean, if if it's furries after Erica, like the one, you know, the ones that got away with shouting ch shooting Charlie, then what does JD Vance got to worry about? JD and his husband uh Peter Field are are allies to the to the furry community, I would assume. Okay. Yeah, and I thought that was kind of funny. That if it was in fact fact furries that were after Erica, they'd have no problem with JD.

SPEAKER_04 3:33

Peter Field's a de uh a very very strange man, but I don't know that furries is what he's into. I wouldn't I wouldn't bet against it.

SPEAKER_05 3:42

I just tell you that much.

SPEAKER_04 3:43

No, I wouldn't bet against much of anything anymore, to be quite honest. Good point. All right, and anyway, on the next one. Although Calci would probably let me. All right. That's true.

SPEAKER_05 3:53

I am starting to think the way they have the chat or or whatever they call it on X is designed to make people just keep arguing. Because it seems like it's hard for some people to even just uh talk to even figure out what they're asking you about. You know, you're supposed to look back at what comment they made and you can't see it. So I you know, half the time I'm spent, I don't even know what I'm answering to or not. And so it just it just breeds confusion and not ever resolving any kind any kind of disagreement. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_04 4:29

Uh well, yeah, obviously the whole point of the of that system is to keep people arguing. It's the best way to engage people and get them to keep commenting.

SPEAKER_05 4:37

Let me ask, Dean, you're on X, right? Uh I am. Do you have the blue check? Do you pay for it? No. Oh, okay. Now I'm wondering if it might be a little different if you actually pay for it. But the thing is, you can like, all right, you see, you see something. There's there's a couple of little icons. You can leave a mess, you know, you can leave a post, you can say something, you can repost it, you can like it, or look basically it's a love it. You know, you can't just like it, you have to love it. Uh, you can download it. I think there's one other thing you can do that I never clipped that click. I don't even remember talk says tells you about it or something. But you know, and then you get these notifications, and you go to the notification and somebody says, Well, you're stupid because of this, and you're like, Well, what are we talking about? I I don't even remember, and there's no way to go back and look and see, well, what did we say before this to figure out? And I've actually had arguments with people I agree with. After about two texts, I'm like, Oh, wait a minute, we're arguing on the same side. It's just, I think the whole thing is just so insane.

SPEAKER_04 5:40

Anyway, all right. Yeah. See, I have no interest whatsoever in engaging with that platform or with that type of activity. Arguing with somebody online doesn't provide me any satisfaction at all. Yeah. Uh next, next voicemail.

SPEAKER_05 5:58

Okay, I still to this day do not know why Martha Stewart is a dirt nerd. What the fuck is she selling? Why do I keep seeing this ad for nothing? There's nothing being sold on this ad whatsoever. You know what's kind of funny about this? Your niece just came over yesterday to celebrate 420 with me, and uh she explained to me what it was. She looked it up on her phone. She's like, Yeah, she's selling dirt.

SPEAKER_04 6:26

Some kind of home gardening and all, you know, homemaking and all that.

SPEAKER_05 6:32

The point is, why do they keep playing the six-second thing of her going, I'm a dirt nerd? So what? Tell us to buy something. Tell us what to buy. Tell us to, you know, this nobody cares. Anyway, all right, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 6:46

Maybe they think people respect her opinion on that kind of stuff. So people might actually go read, you know, go.

SPEAKER_05 6:52

Yeah, that they're gonna turn people into Sherlock Holmes.

SPEAKER_04 6:54

Hey, let's investigate, let's see what uh be in in in defense, it literally takes less than two seconds to type in. You know, that's true. What what is Martha Stewart selling? And and apparently your niece felt compelled to, because I didn't ask her to. Or maybe there's another version of that ad that she saw or heard or something. No, I was asking her.

SPEAKER_05 7:14

I was being I was like, why is she a dirt nerd? What the hell? This is this exact same comment.

SPEAKER_02 7:18

It's not a specific uh product that no, there's nothing. Nothing. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 7:24

Yeah. Oh, so it's just like one of those ads for milk. Like, we don't care what kind you buy, just buy more milk. So she's just working for beacon.

SPEAKER_05 7:33

All she says in the ad is that she's a dirt nerd. There's no, I want you to buy dirt. There's a specific kind of dirt. All I mean, I I think we've played it on the show. It's like a six-minute clip of her going. I don't know if you guys have noticed, I'm a nerd dirt nerd. I'm a real dirt nerd.

SPEAKER_04 7:51

I'm a dirt nerd. Maybe it's some kind of PR stunt to get out ahead of a problem, like they're gonna find something buried in her yard. I don't know. I don't know. Go figure, go figure. All right, one more, and it's short too. Here we go.

SPEAKER_05 8:05

Uh let's discuss the concept of the plea of no contest. What's that about? All right, talk to you later. This is a deep dive because I mean this this I I started thinking about this in my my two ways to fix uh our legal system. One, get rid of fines. No more fines. If you break the law, you go to jail. That's it. Two, no more laws unless there's a victim. You go to court and the c and the and the prosecution can't produce a victim, case dismissed. But then that begs to what what does it mean? I mean, if you're not getting fined and you're going to jail, what what does a no contest plea mean? I mean, that's just that's just kind of how are they getting away with that?

SPEAKER_02 8:49

It's kind of like throwing your arms in the air. Uh I don't want to fight about it.

SPEAKER_05 8:54

Right. So you're guilty.

SPEAKER_04 8:56

There's either guilty or not guilty. There's no in-between. Well, apparently, apparently there is an in-between, and it's like it's I'm not saying I did it. I'm not saying I'm guilty. I'm just saying I don't want to fight. I don't want to deal with it. I don't think I have the economic or the legal wherewithal to beat it. Well, there you go.

SPEAKER_05 9:15

So if we get rid of fines, we don't need no contest. Won't cost you a penny. Well, we still gotta pay for a lawyer, I guess.

unknown 9:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:26

Core cost.

SPEAKER_05 9:28

Yeah. But still, I mean, yeah, interesting. Interesting concept. Anyway. Any anything else on that? Are we ready to move on? Uh that was the last of the the messages. Right, right, right. Well, one of the one of the did you pull up any videos for today or no? Uh yeah, I think I have like five pulled up.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

No, knowing you, they're probably the same ones.

SPEAKER_05 9:50

I actually I went, I I'm gonna trick you today, but did you pick up did you bap into get the Jimmy Dore one?

SPEAKER_04 9:56

Uh no, that's not one of the ones I got.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

Well, I you know, and it's too long. I don't even want to play the whole thing, and I don't even know if we have to play it. But it's the probably why I didn't pick it. Well, but it but did you see what it was about? Yeah. I mean, that's just insane. Have you seen the what what the joke was? Yes.

unknown 10:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 10:16

Bon bonds?

SPEAKER_05 10:17

Yes. I mean, maybe we should play a little bit of it just so people that watch this thing. Yeah.

unknown 10:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:25

Well, anyway, let's just explain it. So, anyway, what school was she? Is she in Miami? Uh huh. University of Miami? Uh FIU Florida's.

SPEAKER_04 10:34

I don't know what school it is. I know it's a Florida school.

SPEAKER_05 10:36

That's Boca. I think that's Boca Ratone.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

But anyway, it was FIU.

SPEAKER_05 10:41

This chick in a Snap, not Snapchat, what's it called? Um some chat room. WhatsApp. WhatsApp, yeah. Some WhatsApp chat.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

And you're really making me dry.

SPEAKER_05 10:49

I only watched it once. I don't know what their stupid chats are called. But apparently she made the joke, and I don't even know what the context of the conversation was. But the joke up was that Netanyahu should somehow send them bond bonds.

SPEAKER_04 11:05

It was the joke, it was something to, you know, like the fantasy you have a little kid of pulling up to the school and it's burned down, so there's no school today. It was something like to get out of the coach or something like that. Okay. Yeah. So I didn't even get the joke. I didn't even get the joke. I didn't even understand. It's not a joke, it's just like saying, uh, you know, I've got to be a good one. But here's the thing. They wish somebody would blow up schools who didn't have to go take that test today.

SPEAKER_05 11:28

Right, right. So clearly a joke. And even all right, let's let's say, like some people are arguing that it wasn't a joke. Let's take it literally. It's still, how do you arrest somebody for saying, I mean, this is just this is beyond insanely, you know, this is beyond insane that somebody's getting arrested.

SPEAKER_04 11:48

For asking a foreign leader in another country to do something that he you have no influence or connection with. I mean, it's just how is that possible? It's crazy. It's it's uh if this doesn't would it be as bad if I was to say, like, man, I wish Putin would come over here and steal all the gold that's left under Fort Knox and then give it to you.

SPEAKER_05 12:14

Come on. I mean, that's what I'm trying to say. You gotta, I mean, I've heard way worse stuff than that said. It's ridiculous. Today, or earlier today on X. Way worse than anything that chick said. Oh my god. So they arrested her yet. I think she well, I'm I I assume she's out on bail at this point, but they have her and was arrested or just or just expelled from the school or something.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

Maybe she was arrested.

SPEAKER_05 12:41

No, she's had to well, unless it was some kind of school court, which I you know, I haven't been to school in a long time, but maybe they have that. Do they have a police? I know they have police presences on campuses. Do they have their maybe they have their own court system now, too? Who the hell knows?

SPEAKER_04 12:57

Now all I can think of is the scene in the animal house where they all start humming in the bar town.

SPEAKER_05 13:08

Oh, God, yeah, it's insane. Uh yeah, anyway, that was the one clip I just wanted to make sure we at least talked about. You can go ahead and run run one of yours, and I'm sure it'll be one of the latest ones I saw.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

Yeah, it's Florida International University in Miami.

SPEAKER_04 13:21

Oh, it is Miami, all right.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

FAU is in Miami.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

Okay. Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right. All right, yeah. So this one made me chuckle when you sent me this because I I share I agree with pretty much all these opinions, and I've always wondered why you own the damn thing.

SPEAKER_14 13:35

Oh, I know which one this is. Bro, you got a new Jeep. Is it powerful? No. Is it comfortable? No. Is it smooth? No. Is it fast? No. Is it roomy? Okay, it's good gas, right? No. It's got lots of cargo space? No. No. It's good at towing? No. Is it affordable? No. Okay, it's gotta be reliable? No. Then what's so great about it? Bro, this is an off-road machine. So you're gonna take it off-road? No.

SPEAKER_04 14:09

Absolutely agree with every one of those noes, man.

SPEAKER_06 14:13

That's true.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

Uh yeah. It's not it is not. I I'll say this. You've never, I don't ever know you owning a practical vehicle.

SPEAKER_05 14:21

Well, actually, that's not true back in the day. I had a van. I used to, dude, I used to have a station wagon back in the day. A Ford, uh, what the frick was it? Ford, not a, not, not a tour, Ford, not a Falcon, not a Taurus.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Wagoneer?

SPEAKER_05 14:35

Uh no, no, no. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad. But yeah, I mean. Oh, yeah, that's the one that got total. That's the one that's still, that's the one that fucked up my neck. I got T or I T-boned some lady in that one. She pulled right in front of me. Yeah. No, but Jeeps are. Here's the reason I have a Jeep. It's not a car. Yeah. When people say, Do you have a car? I go, no. I don't. I have a Jeep and two motorcycles. I don't have a car. All right, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 15:07

All right. Another one to share here. So is that Russian, I'm hearing, or some kind of Eastern European?

SPEAKER_05 15:39

I would assume. I would assume. Where else do they still have fucking circuses and shit like that?

SPEAKER_04 15:44

No, and where else do you have a population of people? If that happened here, people panic and running and screaming.

SPEAKER_05 15:50

Everybody's just sitting there trying to catch it on their phones. I don't know, man. There are people a lot of people like me and you to be sitting there going, psych kitty. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 16:00

I gotta go. I'm getting one belly scratch on the way up.

SPEAKER_06 16:04

I don't have a lip that'll be funny to me.

SPEAKER_05 16:20

Is this why it even works there, or is he just the guy with the biggest balls in the audience? No, that's the lion tamer, dude. That's the guy.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

It's the beer guy.

SPEAKER_13 16:38

That's the Russian or something.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

Yeah, that's a good one. So as cool as that video is, where were what was the resolution?

SPEAKER_05 16:55

I'm sure they just, you know, walked it back into the cage or something. I mean, dude, I mean, unless, you know, the thing is, they have to like the reason for the whips and all that stuff in that cage is because they're, you know, a lot. You see what a lion does in the wild when they're ha fat and happy? They lay around, they don't do shit. That's what you need the whip for is like get up off your lazy ass and ask ask ass and act like a lion.

SPEAKER_04 17:19

You know, so behaviorally, though, lions and tigers are two completely lions, are are used to a social structure. They're used to having a member of the group that's an acceptable member. Tigers live solitary lives and only get together when it's time to go shiboing boy. That's it. Other than that, they have nothing to do with any, you know, they see another tiger any other time of the year, it's on. They're gonna fight.

SPEAKER_05 17:43

But it's you know, yeah, but they these guys, I mean, they're they've been domesticated basically. They're fed well, you know. People probably socialize with them all the time, and they're probably like they're fine. It it it always can always go wrong, and it doesn't go wrong. Oh, it could easily go wrong. Oh, by the way, did you see the fucking you see the footage of that guy that ran out onto the air tarmac the other day? Yeah, I think it was yesterday. I don't know. I wouldn't even show that because it's so bad. But this guy, it's like it it starts out like, oh, this guy busted past security at the airport and ran out on the terram rack. The guy runs around underneath this jet and dives headfirst into the fucking jet agent. What? Holy shit, balls. Yeah, instantly dead. You think?

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Yeah, wow, it spits him back out, and there's a video that shows that?

SPEAKER_05 18:37

Yeah, well, I mean it shows him go in, it shows him fall back out, and then he's blurred up because obviously there's not much left. Um, but yeah. Wow, yeah. I I'm thinking to myself, did the guy try to kill himself or did he think he was gonna hide in there or something?

SPEAKER_04 18:51

Because right. It's again, every time the first thought pops into my head is a movie reference, and this time it's Indiana Jones propeller coming back when he's fighting the big bald guy, and it yeah, yeah, but the bald guy didn't dive onto his head first.

SPEAKER_05 19:06

Yeah, that's just wild. Wow. Yeah, anyway. All right. Well, I got some clips. Let me show a clip here. Hold on. Let me let me share one over here. See what I got going on over here. I forget what some of these are. Now, this is another uh indictment of our whole education system.

SPEAKER_12 19:23

I just got denied from Walmart as a cashier. I have a fucking master's degree, bro. I went to school for 12 years, got my high school degree. I went to for four years to get my bachelor's, and then I went for an extra two years to get my fucking master's. Do you know how much school that is? It's a lot, and the worst part is oh, maybe it's the best part, actually. America, the government probably thinks it's the best part, huh? I'm $120 fucking thousand dollars in debt. Yeah, yeah, because society wants to tell you to go to school, go to college, get your degree, Timmy. Oh my god, job security. Shut up. Please stop spreading that because now I'm screwed and I have no idea what to do. I've applied to over 300 companies and I've gotten responses back from 11 of them. Why the fuck do you think I'm applying to Walmart to be a cashier? Because no one is hiring. Why do we even post a job offering? You're not gonna hire anyone or respond. What are people doing for work? I need to figure something out because if I wasn't doing UGC for brands that I found on Sideshift, my ass would be homeless. I would be fucking homeless.

SPEAKER_04 20:35

What did he just say he was doing? Something I don't know what UGC stands for, which relates to my first question, which would be what is your what did you get a master's degree in?

SPEAKER_17 20:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:46

Because that could be a pretty big contributing factor. No, my second point is that this has been going on for years. Mike Rowe was harping on this you know, 20 years ago with dirty jobs. Um, and with AI, you know, agentics and age AI agents, even more white-collar stuff is starting to go. So yeah, it's and the other thing is too much school and no not enough opportunity.

SPEAKER_05 21:08

If these guys are that smart, how did you agree to a hundred and twenty thousand dollar loan that you can never pay off? I mean, you know.

SPEAKER_04 21:17

That was twelve years ago. He wasn't that smart then. I get you where you're 18 and dumb.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Oh, yeah, loan. You do you can pay this off later.

SPEAKER_04 21:24

Yeah. So yeah, easy words. You're invincible and immortal at 18. Well, think about the that's that sounds like a problem for future homer. I don't envy that guy.

SPEAKER_05 21:34

Okay, this is a this is a good one now. I want you to to remember, you remember the um planet of the apes uh movie where the guys peeled their faces off? Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. This is what this is what this reminded me of when you watch this.

SPEAKER_09 21:52

Thank you. Jesus, extend exchange my stains. Jesus, thank you, Jesus. You've taken my stains, Lord. Come into my heart. Be my Lord and Savior. Take my stains. Guess what? He wants to take your stain.

SPEAKER_04 22:16

He looks so much creepier in the all-white. A new robe.

SPEAKER_09 22:22

A new robe.

SPEAKER_04 22:22

Why is that little bit of color?

SPEAKER_09 22:26

He wants to take your stain robe.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

Looks like sweat rings there on the left side.

SPEAKER_04 22:33

If he's against all those colors, then what was up with the coat of many colors? I thought God was into fashion.

SPEAKER_05 22:39

Like slats. I was really worried he was going to slide his face off next. I was like, Jesus Christ, what's going on here? Oh, God. I got another couple of good ones here. Hold on.

SPEAKER_04 22:53

So far, they're different from the one you're right. You are surprising me. These aren't the ones I had.

SPEAKER_05 22:57

Well, I went to I went back and got a bunch of old ones that I was like, oh yeah, we got we never did get to these. So check this out. This is very pertinent to what you just went through. Actually, I just got to keep going and then go over. I love those. I mean, how worse could it be, really? I mean, you know, it can't be that much worse.

SPEAKER_04 23:26

How worse could it be? It's basically when you walk into the hospital in idiocracy, and the guy says, put this one in your ear, put this one in your mouth, and this one in your butt. No, wait a minute. Hang on, hang on. Put this one in your mouth.

SPEAKER_05 23:41

Oh, oh, this is a good one here. I gotta share this one. This is great. First of all, while I'm while I'm looking this up, I just literally today saw a uh uh a freaking uh Keith Carradine was on some podcast and he was talking about trigger finger. He just had some surgery because he had trigger finger so much, and I get trigger finger all the time. And he says it's actually a a trait of the Ashkenazi Jews. Yes, I may be Jewish. So in that light, here let's let's watch this. Hold on, let me get this back to the beginning.

SPEAKER_07 24:17

Boy, this is a little unnerving. Many of us knew this, but it's just good to see it.

SPEAKER_11 24:23

Well, I know a lot now about bioweapons because I've been doing a book on it for the past two and a half years, and um we the technology that we now have to develop these micro, we have we've put hundreds of millions of dollars into uh ethnically targeted microbes. In fact, COVID-19, there's an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 is targeted to attack uh Caucasians and uh and uh and uh black people.

unknown 25:00

The people who are most immune are Eskenazi Jews and uh and Chinese.

SPEAKER_07 25:06

Yeah, so it's almost as if COVID was the left. It was like the stun left. And then the solution was the overhand right following it. We haven't even talked about how many people that's killed.

SPEAKER_05 25:25

Well, anyway, it it didn't do shit to me. I had it at least once and I didn't really use it. But you did catch it. Oh yeah. Well that's they're not saying that it well geez, you're so Jewish, how would you know? Take that. All right.

SPEAKER_04 25:47

So I got this.

SPEAKER_05 25:50

Yeah, right. All right, so I just wanted to this is I forgot we almost skipped past this old, and we've talked about this, but we almost skipped past this old uh Charlie Kirk video that I wanted to share. But anyway, it was basically it's my turn. I got quality. Oh, wait, wait, here it is. I found it.

SPEAKER_04 26:10

Go ahead. You go you can go ahead though. All right, hang on. This this one made me laugh, and uh you knew I was for sure gonna be sharing this. Can't wait.

SPEAKER_15 26:23

Or apparently this is uh I'm not sure if this is India or Bangladesh or Pakistan, but the most amazing thing is that the music is actually produced by speakers in the weapon.

SPEAKER_04 27:02

They all come equipped with it.

SPEAKER_05 27:48

Only reason we've seen enough. Yeah, I was gonna well that not only that, we actually you can tell you haven't seen the episode that you weren't on because we actually talked about that already, but it is fucking hilarious. Oh, okay. The whole jump to squat thing was I just like, what the hell is that?

SPEAKER_04 28:04

And and let's talk about that's gotta be filmed, something that was filmed for a Bollywood movie or something. There's no way that's live they do, they do that little military. They do that crazy shit at the border. I've seen the border thing, I've seen the ritualistic stomping dancing thing they do at the border where they glare at each other and stomp around and you know well, it's not even stomping, it's kicking.

SPEAKER_05 28:26

It's how high you can kick. It's like they're trying around for the rockets. It's like, what is what is that about? What is what does that make you a badass if you can kick yourself in the forehead like uh little little me or whatever, or little wee wee guy or whatever his name is? What did you call him?

SPEAKER_02 28:41

Uh the Harlem Globetrotters of uh military uh oh god. Yeah, that's a funny video.

SPEAKER_04 28:48

Anyway, I think I find imagine what the what the boot camp stuff must be like if that's the if that's what they're training you to try to be able to do.

SPEAKER_02 28:56

Gotta be a good dancer, twirl.

SPEAKER_05 28:59

Anyway, I think this is the I think this is the video I was looking for. Let's look at the yeah, see here we go. Now, in this video, see, I don't know if you how do I make it so we can watch just the one video? Anyway, this video here, you can see these guys right here. See those two guys with the med kits? So is that Charlie? Right? I'll show you to them again.

SPEAKER_06 29:31

They're right there. Med kits. Medkits.

SPEAKER_05 29:34

All right, so we've discussed this before. The only way anybody was ever gonna ever gonna save Charlie was get a hemostat on that on that uh carotid artemy artery. Those guys, I guarantee you had some hemostats. Why would they drive away from you know, at least at least one of those guys should have pitched a med kit into the car as they were driving away or something? Why were they so in a hurry to get away from guys with medkits? I it that that seemed a little weird to me, but anyway.

SPEAKER_04 30:06

All right, back to you, your clip. Okay, again, this next this clip also, I'm assuming it had to be something out of a movie or a TV show looking maybe from the budget quality. There's some weird sports out there, but oh yeah. I feel like some of those guys from the Indian Army clip would do very well in this film. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 30:38

Play the rest of it, by the way. I got more to talk about on this.

SPEAKER_04 30:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 30:47

Stop it now. Stop it now. Stop it.

SPEAKER_05 30:54

Stop it. Pause it. All right, that's we didn't pause it at the end, but at the end, if you notice, the the team that got scored on has to do some kind of like weird submissive dance. Did you see that? No.

SPEAKER_04 31:08

No. Uh we people can always back it up and pause it if they want to look at that exact part of the state. It reminded me a little bit of the old um like the Monty Python skip with the national the Twit Olympics.

SPEAKER_05 31:23

What was what was the title of that I sent that to you? Like, isn't this the World Cup?

SPEAKER_04 31:28

Oh, yeah, is this not the World Cup? Yeah. I mean, soccer is, you know. Yeah, soccer is a little not quite as manly as as American football, but yeah, I thought I found that pretty funny.

SPEAKER_05 31:38

All right, here's another one where I I want to mock this lady because this this is indicative of of a lot of stupid people. This is a good one. All right, I want you to look at what she bought her kids to eat, first of all. Oh, I've seen this, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

But $115 gets you. Let me show you. We were able to get some rich crackers, one thing of cereal, some ramen, more ramen, tuna, a bag of potatoes, a few avocados, some uh snacks, desserts, two bags of chips, ice cream, pizza roll, some sausage biscuits, one thing of Dr. Pepper.

SPEAKER_07 32:22

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

All of this for $115.

SPEAKER_04 32:33

A mountain of garbage.

SPEAKER_05 32:36

Yeah, there was three founders. There was three pieces, there's three things of food there. The rest of it is garbage.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Yeah, just a pile of officers.

SPEAKER_05 32:47

There's two avocados. What was the other thing? Eggs or something like that. There was two, there's three items of actual food. The rest of that was just complete, utter garbage, and I wouldn't feed a fucking dog. Why would you put why would you give your kids that crap?

SPEAKER_04 33:04

I I don't get it. Well, partially because she's a bad parent and she's lazy. It requires no work or prep on her part to do it. Yeah. Uh, and it shuts the kids up, and she doesn't want to try to explain, you know. Yeah, those are the essentially.

SPEAKER_02 33:18

Jimmy Dean in the market.

SPEAKER_04 33:20

And she herself is probably addicted to that stuff.

unknown 33:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:24

Guys, I gotta take a real quick two-second break here. All right, yeah, yeah. That sounds good.

SPEAKER_05 33:30

I'm back. Alrighty. Pulled up a couple extra little clips here that I'd been meaning to uh let's take a look at this one. Oh, this is one I sent to uh nurse Becca. I thought I was like, I know she I know she was gonna like this one. Uh so take a look take a look at the gander of this little uh lovely lady.

SPEAKER_00 33:57

If he's at J. Crew returning a sweater, he's nutting. If he's trying on another sweater, he's getting a nut. If he exchanged that old sweater for the new sweater, he's nutting. It's like trail mix because his day mostly contains nuts and his balls look like raisins. If he's at his aunt's funeral, he's getting two nuts. One at the open casket, one when they're lowering her into the grave. While he's nutting, I'm thinking about the next nut. I'm like a squirrel. I'm planting nuts all over this place. If he's at Target picking out curtains, I'm like, come on, babe, you're getting a nut. At the end of the day, I roll his up like a tube of toothpaste to make sure there's no nuts left. He's at our kids' parent future conference, he's getting a nut. I'll make him nut while he's that's the secret. I make my man nut 27 times a day. I take my man in everywhere.

SPEAKER_05 34:33

If he's at the dentist, my god, she's not wrong, but no, she's absolutely wrong. I'd be who you're her it this is physically impossible. By the end of the day, her man would be nutting dust 27 times a day, SPC. Yeah, not even when I was 17.

SPEAKER_04 34:57

Uh anyway. Talk about you, you frequently send me things about our school ideas, and like, well, well, certainly we'd be able to do better than this. This is the most disgusting. Uh I don't I hesitate to even share this, but this is foul.

SPEAKER_05 35:14

Uh-huh. You know what I what it's gonna be, right? Yep, I know exactly. Something to do with cupcakes, sweet lord.

SPEAKER_03 35:22

Uh her husband, who by the way, was a cop. So Cynthia Perkins was an eighth, a teacher that her eighth-grade student's cupcakes contaminated with her husband's well, you know. Her husband, who, by the way, was a cop.

SPEAKER_04 35:35

What in the ever-loving fuck is wrong with these people? I don't know. I don't know. The con even to come up with the idea to do something like it.

SPEAKER_03 35:44

What's so Cynthia Perkins was an eighth-grade English teacher. One day she knowingly brought cupcakes made with her husband's to school, served them to her students, and photographed the entire process. And believe it or not, that's not even what got her arrested. Police got a tip on them, and when investigators seized their devices, they found what do you mean that's not what got her arrested?

SPEAKER_04 36:03

Like you found I'm pretty sure that was one of the one of the charges was probably related to that.

SPEAKER_03 36:09

Yes. Well, thank God that's the method they used to confirm it because I was real worried where that sentence was headed.

SPEAKER_02 36:46

Forty-one years.

SPEAKER_04 36:49

What taken behind the building and shot?

SPEAKER_03 36:53

That's so fucking foul. More than a hundred and fifty counts involving R exploitation and C sale. 150 counts. This case is a couple years old, but this is exactly the kind of case that should never fade away because predators in positions of power depend on silence and short memories. And if this case makes you sick and disgusted, you can do something with that feeling.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

And you should have to be cellmates with Diddy while awaiting that take out back shot. You know what I mean? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:19

Hey, at least he's not in the Epstein files, so yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's because he was in competition doing his own thing.

SPEAKER_03 37:25

And my bio is a petition to strengthen laws and end easy plea deals for child predators. It takes literally two seconds to sign, and we're nearing 200,000 signatures. So please sign it and make sure to follow.

SPEAKER_04 37:35

Yeah, there should be no plea deals for that for that kind of shit.

SPEAKER_05 37:38

Yeah, that's insane. All right, so I got one. Um you know, before we even say anything, we should be we should have been taping this on 420. But we had a little apparently the little gas issue. Yeah. We had a little indigestion issue here. Not on my end, for one. Right, right. But uh, yeah, so uh we would we normally would have been doing this on 420, but in the in uh is it this one? Yeah, in in uh respect for 420. We'll show this little ditty. Um I'm sure a lot of people have seen this before, but I want to especially point out the use of the uh the musical uh the musical instrument at the end, but we'll talk.

SPEAKER_13 38:27

Now everybody gather round and listen if you would. When I tell you every person needs a way of feeling good. Every kitty needs a ball of string and every talk a stick. But all you need is a bag of weed to really get a kick. One, two, three, six, six, a bag of weed, a bag of weed, everything is bigger, the bag of weed is the weed. There you go, you're all getting it now. They go a sort of queer. They range the rocketeer. One, two, three. Have a go, Brian. As Mr. H. L. Mencken says, the common man's a fool. And just like Helen Keller said, you do give people cool. But try and use your heads and don't buy into all the fear. Because all we need is a bag of weed to make us want to cheer.

SPEAKER_05 40:00

Okay. At this point point, I'm gonna name this instrument the Xylobongs. Right. Or or the Marambuds. I like it. Oh, anyway, it just goes on like that for a while longer while playing the Xylabuds. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:19

I've heard that song so many times I can't even tell you. It's actually on my Spotify list on my road trips when I'm listening to like weird Alyankovich comedy and stuff like that. It always comes up.

SPEAKER_05 40:30

Oh, yeah. And then and I had this other one that this is this is just wild. But I mean, I you know what I I titled. This one was called Um I Guess They Found the Funny Bone. Yeah, this this is I remember the name of the email, but this guy is wild.

SPEAKER_08 40:48

In 2009 heb hij dus een heup gebroken. En toen is in 2010 een nieuwe heup gegeven. Ze schijnt dus door de operatie, naar kozen dat die Xel maar is gaan lassen.

SPEAKER_07 41:00

Er is toch niks.

SPEAKER_08 41:03

Nee, dat laat alleen maar.

SPEAKER_06 41:11

Wat vindt u ervan dan? Ja.

SPEAKER_08 41:15

Op een gegeven moment gaat hij je irriteren de hele dag dat gelach.

SPEAKER_04 41:21

Maar je ziet geen verschil.

SPEAKER_08 41:23

Maar het enige wat je doet, is lachen.

SPEAKER_04 41:27

Ja, he is the joker.

SPEAKER_05 41:38

I can't even stop it. You know, it's crazy because I guess he's gotta be on disability. How could he go?

SPEAKER_04 41:47

Like a far less offensive version of Tourette's. Like he's not screaming out profanities, but he's clearly can't be like doing any any kind of solid productivity. And here's the thing if if you could do that, it's also proof that women just hate to see us happy. They just fucking hate it, you know? Uh-huh. Even if it's not your fault, it's medically induced happiness, and she's still like, eh, it's fucking pissing me off.

SPEAKER_05 42:14

Oh, that's so true. And and look, look how we need to figure out how that we need to replicate this procedure. I know I'll take it. Give me one where I just sit around and laugh all goddamn day. That'd be great. It's supposed to be healthy for you, too, right? Laughter is the best thing for you, right?

SPEAKER_02 42:30

I've been uh married for 40 years. I need a little laughter, Mr. Surgeon.

SPEAKER_04 42:36

Yeah, they just went, they took it a step too far. No kidding. All right, you got any more? Uh no, that was all for all I I had saved up.

SPEAKER_05 42:46

All right, I still have more on on uh email. Let's see what we haven't seen yet. I'll go from the top here. Little jokes. Oh, this one's this one's actually kind of interesting.

SPEAKER_13 42:58

Protect this man at all.

SPEAKER_10 43:00

My name is uh Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath. I'm a former teacher turned cognitive neuroscientist who focuses on human learning. Um, and I do not receive funding, nor have I ever from big tech. Um so a sad fact our generation has to face is this our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age. Every generation has outperformed their parents, and that's exactly what we want. We want sharper kids. And the reason for this largely has been school. Each generation spends more time in school. We use school to develop until Gen Z. Gen Z is the first generation of modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory to literacy, to numeric, to executive functioning to even general IQ, even though they go to more school than we did. So why? What happened? What happened around 2010 that decoupled schooling from cognitive development? It can't be schools. Schools basically look the same. It can't be biology. This hasn't enough time to change. The answer appears. To be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning. Across 80 countries, as Jean was just saying, if you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation less than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that's across 80 countries. Bring it home to the US. Let's go to the US. We have our NAEP, that's our big data. Take any state, and here's a fun experiment you can try. Take any state NAPE data, compare that to when that state adopted one-to-one technology widely, and watch what happens. The NAPE data will plateau and then start to drop. And of course, this is all correlative. What we really want is causative. To get causation, what you need is academic research and you need mechanisms, explanations for why we're seeing what we're seeing. Luckily, we have academic research stretching back to 1962 that shows the exact same story for 60 years. When tech enters education, learning goes down. In fact, because what do kids do on computers? They skim. So rather than determining what do we want our children to do and gearing education towards that, we are redefining education to better suit the tool. That's not progress, that is surrender. So as we go through our discussion today, there's going to be a lot of talk about smartphones and social media, rightly so. But I'm the voice here to remind you that even in schools, it doesn't matter what the size of the screen is, if it's a if it's a phone, if it's a laptop, if it's a desktop, and it doesn't matter who bought it. Is it school sanctioned? Does it have the word education stamped on it? It doesn't matter. All of these things are also gonna hurt learning, which in turn are gonna hurt our kids' cognitive development right at the time when we need our kids to be sharper than we are. Yeah, I like the post.

SPEAKER_05 45:52

So let me ask you something. When you went to school, did you uh did you use a computer? I mean, like a calculator for um like math class or any of that kind of stuff?

SPEAKER_04 46:04

No, we weren't allowed to have a calculator in math class, but we did have a computer lab, you could, you know, but it wasn't like a its own class. You could go use I mean, it was like a trash 80 or TRS 80.

SPEAKER_05 46:16

Oh, so it was just a computer you could use.

SPEAKER_04 46:18

Yeah, but I mean there was no internet, right? So it wasn't like you could do anything with it really except write something in basic or well.

SPEAKER_05 46:25

I mean, clearly this guy is suggesting that all these computers and laptops and and smartphones are not helping these kids learn. And I'm just I distinctly remember when I was in, I'm pretty sure it was high school. I don't think it was college, but it was in high school. I forget if it was a trig class or a calculus class, we had to go by a specific kind of uh uh Texas Tech or whatever random, you know, uh fucking, you know, Radio Shack. Advanced math. You had to have those, yeah. Well, and and the only reason you had to have it is because it it did this one formula that you didn't have to actually because it gets to a point in math where like you're dealing with formulas, all right? So it's like this formula says X plus Y plus you know blah times this to the X degree, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you gotta know they give you the program and you gotta plug all in all the variables and come up with the right answer. Well, the problem is the formulas get so long that the teeniest little mistake, and you're you're not gonna get the right answer. So that's why they started using the calculators. You you you had to prove you could do it right a couple of times, but then they're like, all right, you can do it. Now use the calculator. So I think that's where we're maybe missing the boat is that nobody's learning how to do the thing first. Then okay, now you can use a computer or a smartphone.

SPEAKER_04 47:42

But also his argument, his argument about technology allowing kids to skim and allowing kids to you know not really absorb the material. Humans are lazy and a a percentage of them are always gonna do that. Oh, yeah. I mean, where why do you think cliff notes are a thing? That's how I got through school. I never read the book, or are you gonna buy this little pamphlet that's gonna give you basically the basic theme of the book, yada yada? You just gotta reword it in your own words so the teacher doesn't think you you know just copied it and plagiarized it right out of the book. Um, same thing. Why, you know, I'll just watch the movie instead of read the book. Kids have always looked for a cheap, easy way around. Um new technology. I think uh the bigger problem is even though he kind of blah blahed it or poo-pooed it, oh, uh, people will bring up social media. Social media is a tremendous huge contributing factor. TikTok, things like that have ruined human beings' attention spans down to you know 15, 20, 30 seconds, and then they need something else, another hit of dopamine. Um, so there's no way to attract their attention. It's one thing to have a cell phone when you're a teenager that you can send texts and calls on. It's another thing to have something in your pocket that you could watch videos, play games. There's no way the teacher is going to be able to compete with that. True. Um, that was the downfall. And these kids having access to it from age of four, which goes right back to what I said about that the mom. Why would a mother feed her children all that slop because she's lazy and it's an easy fix. It's the same thing. It's an easy fix to hand the kid a tablet when he's five or six, so that by the time he even gets to school, he's so hooked and addicted to playing with this thing that he's been his interaction with. You try to take it away from him and tell him to sit there and listen. Now, let me ask you this fucking luck.

SPEAKER_05 49:30

You think now, obviously, there have been a lot of lame attempts at at accomplishing this in the past, but do you think there's any way that you could make it fun to learn?

SPEAKER_02 49:40

No.

SPEAKER_04 49:43

Well, that's not not for everybody. Well, the thing is, I mean, fun for everybody, but I have had teachers that were so entertaining to me that I I did have fun and I learned more from them because of it. But that doesn't mean that everybody in the room felt the same way I did. Right. Not everybody thought the guy was funny, and not everybody thought he was entertaining, you know.

SPEAKER_05 50:05

That's true. I think it depends on what you're learning, too. Because I mean, like like I've probably had the same teachers as you that were, you know, Mr. White was great, Schumann was great, they're all great teachers. I couldn't tell you a damn thing he taught me in calculus. I I don't know. Fucking he Mr. White taught my, you know, my senior calculus calculus three class or whatever the fuck it was. And I couldn't tell you a damn thing.

SPEAKER_04 50:27

I can still remember all the th almost everything that Lee Lively, a history teacher, told me. I can still remember a great many things that Ed Kauf, one of my biology teachers, told me.

SPEAKER_05 50:36

Yeah, yeah, that's true. I I don't remember you know, I know never well, I must add Kaufed at least one class. But that was marine biology, and I don't I don't know if I remember everything he said there, but but yeah, and in history.

SPEAKER_04 50:50

I think we talked about this on the podcast.

SPEAKER_05 50:51

That's true, yeah, yeah. But yeah, but history is another uh, you know, uh subject that I think with a decent teacher could easily be made to be at least, you know, at least interesting, if not entertaining, you know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 51:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 51:04

But uh yeah, but that's then you gotta get, you know, somebody that's really interested in doing it for shit money, you know. Which why, you know, and truthfully, why would anybody want to go be like a public school teacher that could entertain a room full of kids when you could go and be a comic and you know, or do do anything else and actually make real money. And you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 51:25

I think that's how Shane Gillis started. When you hear him talk about history, he knows his shit. The man could be a history teacher, it's true, absolutely could be a history teacher. He'd be a damn good one, too. He does again, he makes way more money this way, right?

SPEAKER_05 51:38

Well, he does whole podcasts on on history uh I know subjects. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're both entertaining and informative. Those guys, the uh the history hyenas, you ever seen those two guys? It's Chris. I don't think so. Chris something, and uh and uh the Greek dude. They're just a couple of comics that do the kind of the same thing like as Shane and his and Michael. Davy? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh okay. No, it's it's uh Chris De Stefano, I think is one of the guys. And Yanni. Okay, I know that guy. Yanni Pappas or something like that is the other guy. Oh all right. Is that his name? Yanni something, Yanni Pappas? Yeah, yeah. I think it is Papas. But those guys have a where they do, they talk about, and dude, they they make it. I mean, they just turn history into bro talk, is really what it is. They just the whole time they're like, yeah, this dude did this and I'm bad dude, you know. They just they just break the chance.

SPEAKER_04 52:32

Jane's whole bit about George Washington being this giant red-headed Neanderthal with dead people's teeth in his mouth, staring the shit out of the British, is hilarious.

SPEAKER_05 52:41

I'm sure it is. I'm sure he was. Yeah, back then I think everybody was like 5'10. You know, he with Washington was like 6'2, 6'3. Yeah, it was bigger than everybody. It was that tall head of fake teeth.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

Wow. I didn't realize that.

SPEAKER_05 52:57

All right.

SPEAKER_02 52:57

Well, this show is so educational.

SPEAKER_05 53:00

Yeah, right. We're here to educate. Well, I don't know. How long have we been going? Has it been an hour now?

SPEAKER_02 53:06

Yeah, just about 57.

SPEAKER_05 53:09

Yeah, there we go. We got we'll we'll save a couple of clips in case nothing happens this week.

SPEAKER_17 53:14

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 53:16

And uh, of course, we didn't mention it once, but 904-549-9024, give us a call, leave us a comment. You nailed it that time. I know, I know. You that just ripped it right out of the day. Right.

SPEAKER_04 53:27

So subscribe, like, comment, share, subscribe. We we picked up a sub I picked up a subscriber with one of my roommates in the hospital. Yeah, right. He's told me that story. Sweet, sweet.

SPEAKER_05 53:36

Oh, before I forget, uh, never going to Mars wants to be on next week's podcast. Uh oh, sweet. Yeah, so I I just gotta wait till we are not going to Mars.

SPEAKER_04 53:46

That's the name of it. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 53:48

That'll be the name of that episode for sure. But yeah, he wants to come on.

SPEAKER_04 53:50

No, that's the name of his, not never. It's not he does, it's not never. It's his name of his uh channel is We Are Not Going to Mars.

SPEAKER_05 53:56

Oh, right. Well, whatever, same thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Semantics, semantics. But he has some very interesting theories on on the Charlie Kirk thing, and apparently he's like the guy he apparently is ex-military that used to work with drones. So he apparently knows his shit. So we'll we'll talk to him and see what he's got to say. So so turn tune in for that episode next week, and uh yeah, we'll see you then. Thanks, guys.
