Halloween Havoc and Political Pranks: Costume Contest Chaos, Trumpian Antics, and Economic Echoes

Who knew a Halloween party could turn into a whirlwind of unexpected victories and hilarious anecdotes? From the moment we attempted to win over the crowd with our cop uniform, to Dylan's nail-biting championship game that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, the day was an absolute rollercoaster. As we stumbled through the costume contest's aftermath, we couldn't help but share the riotous moment of Leroy's playful "arrest" and AJ's jaw-dropping Little Bo Peep costume that didn't even need a contest to win hearts.

But the fun didn’t stop there! We ventured into the world of political chaos with a side of humor, drawing parallels between Trump's media antics and a riveting Joe Rogan interview. We reflected on the surprising rise of Trump stores and shared a good laugh over some comical trolling involving Kamala Harris at a McDonald's. With engaging banter, we examined the impact of media and politics, touching on election integrity and the wild world of trolling, all while maintaining an amusing tone that kept us chuckling throughout the conversation.

Our discussion crossed into economic territory, exploring how tariffs and trade policies shape the landscape of American business. We debated the impact of financial pressures on everyday life, from the rising costs at the grocery store to the strategies of businesses reluctant to lower prices. With a nod to the past and a look towards the future, we pondered whether returning to old-school cooking methods might just be the key to happiness. Join us for this lively episode filled with laughter, candid insights, and a touch of nostalgia, as we navigate the quirky intersections of costumes, politics, and economics.

Speaker 2: 0:16

It don't even hurt to give birth anymore, not for me, nothing to it. Okay, let's do it. Come on, I'm, I'm ready, I'm ready, I want to do it. I wear a phone. I got one on right now. You want to see man house bar talks, baby, that is a bunch of shit. Yes, morning, morning, dude, a morning. Oh, getting a late start today, as you and I didn't have a choice, man I was, I was incapacitated, as they say. Right, incapacitated, that was me, or slacker. Well, I did. I come home last night as soon as they did the costume contest. I come home and I'm trying to get lucky. I told you I had the cop uniform on for a reason, you know what I mean. My mom's there watching Dylan, or whatever. And yeah, I sat down and talked to my mom with him for a minute and, uh, it didn't quite go how I planned it, so he went and passed out.

Speaker 1: 1:33

Woke up this morning to say damn, I missed that opportunity that ended the night.

Speaker 2: 1:40

That was. That was how I ended off my night. I woke up about 4 o'clock this morning, headed my ass upstairs. I just passed the hell out, but yeah, so didn't sleep the best on that recliner like that, and I wasn't drunk either, I just was tired. Dude, now you go to bed at like 10, 30, 11 at the latest, so when you're getting home at one o'clock in the morning you're just no room left for you. You know that's the most I drank in probably six months. I don't. I mean, I drank, but not. I think I did a couple shots and a few beers, but I was here a long time but guess how much that was.

Speaker 1: 2:21

I'm talking about. What do you mean? I said that was the most I drank in probably six months. How much do you think I drank? I don't know how much Three beers.

Speaker 2: 2:32

I don't drink like that, no more. You kind of looked like you had a little buzz going, though I was tired, is that what it was? Yeah, you had that. Look, you know what I'm saying. It was, all in all, it was a pretty good party.

Speaker 2: 2:48

Well, we, we started out the day going to dylan's championship game shout out to the middies, but they killed it, dude. They freaking smashed it. They well, I shouldn't say they killed it, but it was. It was, yeah, at one point you kill it. Yeah, it was literally one of the best games, honestly, that I've. I mean it was pretty awesome. I mean I I always talk about that first championship game that went into overtime and all this stuff, but I mean this was right up there with no overtime or nothing. It was right there like it was legit, like I mean it was wild. They were going back and forth like they were doing their thing. You know what I mean. It was pretty wild. So the uh, I might have to call tia. She's sending me something. I don't know what it is, some kind of complaint. I have to go see what it is. But yeah, um, it was pretty wild. It was an awesome game. It was back, dude, it was like when we got down to like the last minute minute, two minutes, it was like what are we gonna like? Oh man, you know, they just scored on us. They're ahead now and it's like you're bumming. You know what I mean. Next thing, you know, boom, we're scoring. Then you're scored on us. They're ahead now and it's like you're bumming. You know what I mean. Next thing, you know, boom, we're scoring. Then you're like, all right, good, we're ahead now. And then it's like, damn, they scored. It was crazy, it was nuts, but it was fun. I mean, it was a blast, it was cool to be there and definitely better than that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 4:35

But, um, then we came back here for the party and I, uh, as as I said I would, I came in as a police osprey and, uh, I had on my osprey uniform and there's ogle too. Ogle ogle looked like he said he was going for hot dad. But that's like, because his, because liz had on the hat, that said I love hot dads, or something, and he's like said he's going for hot dude. I'm like you're looking at that picture right now in a smaller image and that's leroy dude. I don't care what anybody says, that's leroy. Do you believe him that he wasn't going for leroy? Yeah, I don't believe it, dude. There's no way. How could he not be going for leroy? Listen?

Speaker 1: 5:15

he nailed leroy, but he was definitely not going for him how?

Speaker 2: 5:20

how can you get that perfect and not be going?

Speaker 1: 5:23

for it. I don't know, but he swears he didn't. Why would he lie? That's all I'm saying. Why would he lie about that?

Speaker 2: 5:29

All I'm saying is that's Leroy. How does he not, how do you not? You know what I mean? That just doesn't make any sense. I mean, I just don't understand it. I had to arrest Leroy too last night. Oh, he came up here. Yeah, right here, I'm arresting him, right here, oh you're talking.

Speaker 2: 5:49

I'd have loved to have him up here. That would have been hilarious For people like Stephen, who doesn't really know who we're talking about. You know what I mean? Because he looks identical to Leroy. I mean it was crazy. And then, uh, owen and uh, cause he'd come in with that ball and chain deal, like dude, that was that was. That was pretty damn funny, I gotta say that was. And they actually ended up winning the funniest costume contest. But that, that was like when they, when they came in with that I'm sitting there looking at it like at first, like is that a one? I wasn't sure. Like, because he looks crazy, like he looks like a, like a demented clown or something. You know what I mean. He did pretty good, I was, I was impressed with him, but he's the one who won best or funniest costume. Well, they won funniest costume, I guess is how you would put that. And then the best overall went to daniella, who was our bartender behind the bar. She was uh, she had everybody staring at her ass all night yeah, mostly women.

Speaker 2: 7:03

Yeah, for sure, for sure like oh yeah, women, everybody, everybody was just staring at the booty, for sure, 100 you would think most of the guys be gawking every time.

Speaker 1: 7:12

I look over like she walked by and I look at everybody else's reaction and it was the women that was stuck on her. I'm like holy shit.

Speaker 2: 7:19

It was pretty funny though yeah she and she ended up getting best overall, didn't get sexiest, and I thought, well, that was crazy, because I mean I bet she would have rather gave the 100.

Speaker 1: 7:28

You know, because what it was three for overall, right, yeah, and it was two for the sexiest, right? Yeah, I bet she'd rather gave the 100 up and just took the 200 for the sexiest.

Speaker 2: 7:40

She wanted that title well if she would have went sexiest and got best overall, that's five on her though Right, but she was going for that sexiest and she didn't get it. Yeah, and the thing is it went to it was a half with two Playboy bunnies, so they had to split all that money anyways.

Speaker 1: 8:00

Yeah, yeah, I ain't saying that, I'm just saying she wanted that title she was going for it.

Speaker 2: 8:07

Let's see if we can. Uh see, if I can get this stuff, here we go too loud, I don't even think they want to participate, right, jimmy, too loud.

Speaker 2: 8:48

Now the thing is, stephen might have had the funniest costume because he was a salt and battery. He was dressed like salt and he had a piece of a battery around his neck, a duracell, big old duracell battery around his neck, and the whole time he's up there calling it the salty battery, and you could see Steven thinking no, it's not. Come on, put it together, guy, put it together.

Speaker 2: 9:11

So it was pretty funny in theory, but I mean, you know, it is what it is, I guess. But this was after you left, you missed it. It was jumping around.

Speaker 3: 9:24

That way, everybody can see you, or make a big circle. You guys don't have to hold hands. We're still post-COVID, but All right, this is going to be a tough one, because I know this is not a good costume job.

Speaker 2: 9:40

And the men in black were pretty good too. I like the men in black that were in there. That was pretty good.

Speaker 3: 9:44

All right, we're going to start off right here with our sexy nerds overall. All right, our sexy cowgirl. Our convict, everybody. Our convict, everybody loves a convict. All right, we got a ringmaster and a beast. Yeah, all right, let's hear it.

Speaker 2: 10:22

What did they do? Go and tell them that it's ringmaster and a beast, because we were calling it ball and chain. That's what Steven should have done. Steven should have went and told him he was assault and battery. Assault and battery. He should have told him.

Speaker 1: 10:35

Well, I don't know, but our clarity looks horrible. Now I don't know what happened.

Speaker 2: 10:38

The clarity because of the video. I guess, well, is it just a video or is it? Is it all of it? Is it looks good over here to me? I'm not gonna, maybe it's me, I don't know. It does look pretty good to me. All right, let's keep going here. This is the contest.

Speaker 3: 10:58

Am I still going around in circles? Is there anybody back there that's participating by the bar? I can't tell no, sir, no, okay, next up we have Hugh Hefner and his Playboy buddies. Okay, next up, thelma and Shaggy, come on.

Speaker 2: 11:31

Coming up Salty Battery. Alright, we got Cowboy and.

Speaker 3: 11:35

Dark Angel Giddy up, alright. Next up we have law enforcement couple man. I think we got a tie between the couples, I don't know. I think let's bring out UFK's boy-boy buddies again and Sextxy Angel Along with. We're gonna go with the Sexy Nurse, alright, all three of you guys line up in the front. I want everybody to see you guys Line up. Face the crowd.

Speaker 3: 12:24

This is gonna be a close one, so I may have to turn down the music just so I can see the meter on my level here to see who screams the loudest. All right, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go by my meter here and when FA hits the highest, that's who I'm gonna go for right, let's hear it for the sexy nurse. Let's hear it for the sexy angel that one hit eight decibels on that one, all right.

Speaker 1: 13:11

Thanks for ruining that. Mike Jones dick. He's not allowed in here, no more.

Speaker 2: 14:20

We peaked a little bit more On the sexy angel and that was it. That was best overall. That's how it went down. So it was funny, because the uh, the uh. When he says that he's like you guys are going to be disappointed. Like what's he saying there? I heard it. It's really like a popularity contest. Honestly, more than anything, it's not even like you can have a like you people spend all their time on a costume. Just like, don't do that. Just like, get a shitty costume and bring all your friends Right, right, right. Yeah, I mean, that's the way to do it, you know, yeah, so, at any rate, daniela's on right now. Yeah, I see her, that's right now. I see her that's funny shaking her booty on there. You swore he was gonna win it.

Speaker 1: 15:08

You did, she got that, she got the, she got the most.

Speaker 2: 15:09

She was going daniella guido says he thinks you would rather have a hundred less and the title of sexiest. That's what he says absolutely 100. I don't think anybody would want that. Why would want that? That doesn't make any sense. That's a silly, silly statement. It's not.

Speaker 1: 15:29

She wanted it, she was going for it, she wanted it.

Speaker 2: 15:31

So your funniest went to what he called it the circus, the ringleader and the beast. She said I wanted both. Yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 1: 15:42

That's fine. Well, if it's going to be like just a make makeup thing, yeah, yeah Fuck it. Yeah, I'd want all three. Yeah, right, I'm funny, sexy and the best overall.

Speaker 2: 15:54

I mean really, if you want sexy and funny is how could you not get best overall? If you, if you could manage to make it funny and sexy, you got to get overall you. To make it funny and sexy, you got to get overall. You might, you would clean the house.

Speaker 1: 16:07

I would think yeah, that would be. Yeah, it'd be a gimme at that point. I would think, so you might as well just hand it to him. What was that? One year, you just handed it to him. He was like yeah, you got it, what was it? I can't remember uh who was that?

Speaker 2: 16:18

I can't remember. I couldn't help it, though I mean it had to be him. Who was it, though?

Speaker 1: 16:23

I don't remember. I remember you just walked up and just handed him money and said there ain't even no competition here I can't, was it aj?

Speaker 2: 16:30

and the tutu funniest it was, it was aj. I didn't even have him scream, I just said here, just take it, because he had the um little boat. Yeah, that's what it was. He was Little Bo.

Speaker 1: 16:43

Peep. Yeah, he just walked up to him, but they added him the money. That was pretty funny.

Speaker 2: 16:48

I mean it makes sense, I mean it had to be him right.

Speaker 1: 16:51

Yeah, you'd have been like if somebody called out something else. You know that was bullshit.

Speaker 2: 16:55

Oh, it has to be him for sure it has to be, there's no question. So so it was fun. We had a good time um I did get home and get to sleep. There was a lot of cops. Cops seemed to be the, the. Was you pulling people over play? I did arrest uh leroy, I did. I did handcuff leroy for that night. So that was pretty cool. Uh, that was. Uh, you want to see something really funny, dude, I'm so.

Speaker 1: 17:29

So I'm watching this video. That's downstairs. What was it? That's downstairs? I thought it was in the mic, yeah right.

Speaker 2: 17:38

So I'm watching this video and I'll put it on. I guess I'll put it on full screen so we can see the whole thing. You guys got to see this because I'm so childish 'm just this morning I did it, right, I'm watching this thing now. This is like I don't know, somehow they they overtake the ticket booth or whatever. Oh, you know what they're doing. They're moving the table back from where we had the dance floor going. That's what. That is the uh. So they're, they're over, like there's a big crowd waiting to get in, okay, and then all of a sudden they just bum, rush the ticket booth and just they go in. They just start running in and some people start running out. But, dude, you got to see this. This, this rate that it just caught me. I don't know why. Like it's not even. I don't even care about the video, but the funny shit is this girl running. She's about to knock herself out with her own titties as she's running. Watch this. Where'd it go? Why ain't it on there?

Speaker 3: 18:35

there it goes all right, here we go, look at this shit, look at this shit, look at this shit, look at this shit, look at this shit. I told you.

Speaker 2: 18:59

Right here now. Watch real close, right here. This is where you got to watch it. This shit is hilarious On the left-hand side of the screen. I'm so childish I had to just freaking show it. I can't, you can't. I'm looking on the phone, man, I don't know. Oh, really. Oh, I was looking on the phone when I seen it.

Speaker 1: 19:24

Yeah but it's not full on the phone, it's just as big. Oh, it's only so big.

Speaker 2: 19:29

Oh, I got you. But it's funny, this video. As she's running, she's just like you. Just see her in the crowd, everybody's there. Chaos is, in truth, you know what I mean. Starts running back away from the event and you just see the boobs just coming up and down, and up and down. It's all you see in the whole crowd. It's hilarious to me. I was dying laughing. And then there was another one that I seen. Did you see, did, did I send that to you with the at the. It was a kamala rally and they were some woman started screaming at, uh, at guy. There was a Trump guy there. He's got a microphone and he's like talking to everybody and he, like this girl, just starts screaming at his kid yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. That's crazy, that's crazy dude. And now they got her name out there and everything. I guess she works for the campaign in Texas. She's an organizer for Kamala's campaign in Texas, which is, if we're being honest, a useless job anyways, because nobody's voting for Kamala in Texas.

Speaker 1: 20:32

What was that thing? That was somewhere Yelling at a little kid, yeah that's the one I'm talking about.

Speaker 2: 20:39

Oh yeah, that was horrible. Yeah, that's this one right here. I can put it up for you. Why is it going black? Though? It's driving me nuts with that going black shit. It went black. Stop it, there goes. So luckily that girl behind her has enough common sense to snatch her up and pull her away from the kid, but do you hear the people in the background laughing Like they think that's funny?

Speaker 1: 21:22

I think the dad, when he snatched the kid up, that was was the best thing, just to get away from all that that was crazy, that the dad's the one that was on the microphone talking, though.

Speaker 2: 21:30

Yeah, I mean, it's just politics, shit has just gotten you know, I can't wait to do it. I can't. It's you know that the stress of america's got to be like at it's. I mean it's just we're full, like we a full glass, but it's of stress because of this stupid-ass election and everything that's going on. Either way, I don't even care. Just get it over with. Yeah, finish it off, let's be done. Yeah, it's too much. I mean it really is. It's just too much. It's getting to be out of hand.

Speaker 1: 21:58

Two really strong opinions and shit.

Speaker 2: 22:00

It's just crazy, I don't want to get started on that, but I don't think she has an opinion about shit. Wherever the wind blows is what she seems to be doing. But Joe Rogan put on Trump. Did you see that? No, I've seen a little clip of it. That's it. That's all you've seen.

Speaker 1: 22:20

Man, I was not sitting there three hours listening to that shit. Oh really.

Speaker 2: 22:25

You sat there all three hours listening to that shit. Oh really, you said they're all three hours, huh. Oh yeah, I got up at like five in the morning and I was like I'd rather sleep I'd rather sleep than to listen to that.

Speaker 1: 22:32

Yeah, I don't. I catch the clips maybe, but not three hours, I like that.

Speaker 2: 22:36

Five in the morning, that's my time, man. That's my like peace time, like it's everything so quiet so five to eight?

Speaker 1: 22:42

yeah, no, I'm not doing it. Yeah, that's what I did.

Speaker 2: 22:44

Five to eight. Yeah, I just sat there and listened to it, all right, and I enjoyed the whole thing. Actually, yeah, I'd rather sleep, go wash a car or something. Yeah, work, it was good, I liked it.

Speaker 2: 22:57

I'm curious how, where he's at, he said it. Well, the thing that was crazy about that is that joe rogan famously said that he was never going to put him on, he wasn't going to help him get elected. He said, or something like that, something to that effect, and I was trying to see how many views he got since then. 15 million, oh, it's got to be more than that. He was at 17 million yesterday, I think, but I can't seem to see it. I don't know if I got the right one here. Yeah, see, these are. That's not the whole. Yeah, there it is. That's a whole interview right there. 26 million right now he's at. Wow, yeah, he got some views. Yeah, a little bit, but it's slowing down. It was doing about a million an hour. Anything that trump does, it says kind of, does that, kind of gets that like. The views are there, regardless of whether or not you like them or don't because they want to see him fail.

Speaker 1: 23:54

They want to see just like mayweather is a boxer everybody wanted to watch him lose. You know what I'm saying? That's why he was so popular. It wasn't that they wanted to see him trump's always been that way.

Speaker 2: 24:03

Way, though, everything he's ever done he's been that way. He's been famous forever. You know what I mean. It's like he's always been an eye. So that's not Right. I mean that's just maybe part of it too. People just like being around you know what? I a little bit like. They're opening up trump stores everywhere like it's. It's like there's merch, it's like it's like fandom.

Speaker 2: 24:30

They gotta have a that's like a trademark right. Well, he said no, because in that mcdonald's, because he went to mcdonald's and that I don't know if we talked about that yet or not. I don't remember, but that shit was funny. That's like the troll oh yeah.

Speaker 2: 24:45

He did a prize. Kamala said she worked at. No, she didn't, but I did watch me Like he literally went to McDonald's, basically shut this McDonald's down, surrounded it by like 30,000 people and like fricking, just to like troll Kamala Harris. Like it doesn't get better than that, like that's some funny ass shit to me. But, um, when he was doing it, that one of the one of the customers that was at the drive-thru window he was working the drive-thru said there's a Trump store like two blocks away, and he's like he's, he's looking at the secret service, he goes, you think we could go. And then he said a lot of people are opening up these trump stores and I don't get nothing for him. He said, but that's all right, I'll get the presidency, whatever. That's fine, you know, I mean so yeah, there's. No, they're not. He's not getting licensing for that type of stuff. Wow, maybe the stuff that he has, maybe he's getting licensing for mega hats and stuff.

Speaker 2: 25:42

But since then, though, you know, since that happened, kamala came out and proved that she worked at mcdonald's. At that point, who cares, I'll show you real quick, though. I mean you got to see this. This is, this, is this is real like she. This is the photo that they released and it's it's telling everybody that you know we love kamala and everything. And here's her in her mcdonald's uniform. Look at her proud huh, I can't even see it proud sitting there in her mcdonald's uniform. Nothing wrong with working at mcdonald's, nothing wrong with it. But here's the. Here's the kicker to that. There's. There's a problem with this photo and it's all over the internet. It's everywhere. That shit went right away. Fucked them up. It's all superimposed. Her head is literally on some chick's body. Dude, legit. Look at it. Like the hands are. Like. It is definitely not kamala's face. It's definitely like it's. It's definitely dude. They definitely scammed it like trump. Trump trolling her with his childish bullshit. Made them go out and try to answer.

Speaker 2: 27:01

Make a fake picture you know what I'm saying and got caught on it. That's, dude. That's hilarious to me. That's that's that had me dying, laughing like I mean, it doesn't get funnier than that. And it's all because he's trolling, which you would think like it's so childish. Why do you do that? You know what I mean. But it fucking works, dude. It just does. It did. It's like. It's like when my daughter tells me something you know about art and I think it doesn't make a difference, but then darius paints the the court at the basketball court, and all of a sudden it's a big deal. You know what I mean? I don't get it trump. He gets what the public like. That m McDonald's shit. Really. Not only did it stir up some shit, it ended up making them do some dumb shit in the process. And then we got one more picture we want to put out there from last night's Halloween party, and it is chips. Okay, yeah, chips, isn't that what it's called chips?

Speaker 1: 28:08

What. Chips yeah chips who's that?

Speaker 2: 28:14

Everybody gonna think it's me. Everybody does think it's you, because Steve was sitting there. He goes oh look, gito got a cop uniform on too. Everybody shows up at the party in a cop uniform. I'm like are they all trying to fuck my wife? Is that what it is? Are they like, oh, she's in the cops, let me put a cop uniform on said uniform. We didn't say cop uniform, they showed up in cop uniform. Yeah, they definitely. We were talking about deputy doofus or whatever. You know what I mean. Yeah, whatever happened with that. I talked with one somebody that works with them and he shared our podcast throughout the. So I don't know what's gonna happen. In fact, I'm sure it got back to him.

Speaker 2: 28:57

I'm sure you're getting pulled over. And then there was like a video like literally, like probably. It was maybe wednesday or something, I don't remember, might have been tuesday right after we did the podcast and he was speaking to the kids in school, dylan's class, like there. There was like a show and a video, because they put the video like online and me I was like you're not going to believe this, you should play the video. No, I'm just kidding, it was funny. Well, you can't do that. That's everybody's kids or whatever.

Speaker 1: 29:25

Blur them out. No, I'm just kidding. So remember, I was messing with the dude with the e-bike at work. Yeah, so he goes. He was unloading his truck before me, so I'm behind him and I'm kind of waiting and shit. So I get out my truck, I go over there and talk to him and talk to the guys that are pouring, and he goes hey, you watch my truck. Real quick, I gotta take a piss and I'm like sure.

Speaker 2: 29:56

So he goes and takes care of his business. He comes back.

Speaker 1: 29:58

I said I thought you guys that rode e-bikes said you got a tinkle. He's like, he's looking at me, just starts laughing, shakes his head Like I just ain't going to stop. You know me, I ain't going to stop.

Speaker 2: 30:06

It's funny because we were like I got remember did I bring it up on here about the woman that got mad at me about not having any Republican signs out front? I did, I brought it up on here. So I'm like you know she is right and I've never been one to put presidential ones out. I never do.

Speaker 3: 30:26

Because I just feel like you're cutting off half your customers.

Speaker 2: 30:27

I still think you shouldn't have. Yeah Well, sales sell. I should have. They're up 50 since then. Literally might be by coincidence. No way dude the election board. Every time when the election board is across the street voting, I get tons and tons of people in tons. All of a sudden this year I was getting nobody. It was just not like, it was just it was actually getting slower. All of a sudden I put the trump signs on. Everybody slammed they're busy all the time. 50 increase in sales from having trump signs in the front yard.

Speaker 2: 30:59

So I think there's no question who what's going to happen in this county for sure. You know what I mean. Yeah, and this which trump won this county the last two elections, so I would imagine he'd win it again, which means your uncle, your Uncle Fernando's vote's not going to count. Yeah, it will, or somebody. It's not going to help him. It's not going to help him. And neither is your dad's in Florida, because Florida's going to go red too. But I think there's going to be a tricky one. I think there's going to be something in there. I mean, we're literally we got one more podcast. We'll do, right before the election, the actual election. So we're right there like we're, it's ticking and they're finding.

Speaker 2: 31:40

Did you see that they found in virginia? I forget how many it is, it's. It's quite a bit of ballots, I want to say, in the thousands that they showed had proof, nobody even denied that they were illegal and didn't have the right to vote, and the courts told them they have to count them. Yeah, so now it's got to go to an appellate court. Yeah, they're saying you have to count them all. Well, the court in Virginia isn't that crazy. Yeah, that's pretty nuts. And then in pa and lancaster county they found 2500 came in and a mail-in ballots all came in. They said that they haven't checked all 2500, but 60 of what they've checked so far has all been fake. Literally the same person's signature on all of them with different IDs and stuff like that. So there's going to be some issues, obviously, which that sucks. Oh, you knew that.

Speaker 2: 32:43

But I think, if you can run away with it, which I suspect is going to happen this time, that it won't matter Once you get it. So far on, you know what I mean. It just doesn't matter. I thinkid it so far on, you know, I mean it just doesn't matter. I think I don't, I hope, because the last thing I want is like an election where we're questioning again that's.

Speaker 2: 33:02

That was so damn stupid. They questioned hillary's election, then they questioned this, like now, you know, I mean, and then, by the way, republicans were the worst people in the world because they questioned the election, even though Hillary's crew did the exact same thing, although Trump did go a little further, like trying to actually stop it until it was proven. But I mean, whatever, I don't know. I just know that the Trump signs got me higher sales. That's all I'm saying. I just know that the Trump signs got me higher sales. That's all I'm saying. But I wouldn't uh, I wouldn't put Kamala signs out there if I got higher sales either. I don't think she was either one of them up there.

Speaker 2: 33:45

I never have, I've never done it ever, and I'm just like, yeah, I'm doing it. Oh well, because I'm getting yelled at. I've been like, when you got people yelling at you and people asking you, and I guess I didn't realize that everybody out there was Democrats that were out there. But they're all people that I am aware of their politics, have talked to them, met with them and like them, and that's why they were out there.

Speaker 2: 34:05

When someone comes in here and I don't know who they are and there's nobody to vouch for them or nothing, I'm not letting them put it out there. I to vouch for him or nothing, I'm not letting him put it out there. I have no idea what's going on with them. You know what I mean, right, that's like you know, like even jd is out there, but you worry because now he's going to court for all this stuff. But I I mean I know jd and philly solid. I don't.

Speaker 2: 34:24

I don't think that what he's going to court for and everything that's going to have, I don't think it's going to be stick. I think it'll get overturned or something. I mean I just can't believe that guy is that bad. Plus the whole thing, like we were talking about before with the recording how many hours was it? A thousand thousand hours, over a thousand man. That's crazy. Yeah, I just walk away from a person before all that happened. No, unless you're trying to get a, get something out of it, or you're trying to do cause up shit or trying to stir. You know what I mean, right, but I don't know if he has a chance at this. I don't know. I have no idea.

Speaker 1: 35:00

I really don't know man. I see a lot of his signs. I see a lot of the trucks riding around with the big old sign on it. I see, I don't know he's.

Speaker 2: 35:08

He's a popular guy he's a door knocker too, I mean he's, he's he puts the footwork in so I feel like it's just that's the whole thing.

Speaker 2: 35:16

I think I feel like it's lawfare, kind of like what they've. You know what the whole trump thing is, you know? You know that's something too I saw I saw trump doing in there was it? Was it rogan? It might have been, I can't remember, I don't remember who it was with, but they asked him about getting a hillary arrested. He, oh, hillary, could have been arrested. He goes. But what he goes, that's like that's our president's wife. We're going to have her. You can't do that. That's just hateful. You just don't do it. I don't agree. That's how he said it, though that's how he felt about it.

Speaker 1: 35:49

I don't care who it was. They did something illegal. They should go to jail. Just because you're in a higher political bracket or whatever, you did something wrong. You should go to jail. Yeah, but it doesn't look good to the world whenever you got that shit going on, and they don't look good when you let somebody get away with shit that's in a higher office.

Speaker 2: 36:07

No, you get them out of there, you don't let them stay in that office. But I mean mean at this point she's not in that office. You know what I mean. So it doesn't matter. But her crime was still that doesn't.

Speaker 1: 36:17

I don't know. I don't agree with none of that politic bullshit. If you did a crime, you should go to jail. I don't give fuck I would, I'd go to jail, yeah what makes them different from?

Speaker 2: 36:25

me well, because the world's not watching you yeah, they are.

Speaker 1: 36:31

If I go down the street, everybody waves no, I'm just well.

Speaker 2: 36:34

I mean, we do have viewers in like 23 countries or something like that.

Speaker 1: 36:38

But what I'm saying is no, I still don't think. I don't care who you are. If you did something illegal you should go to jail.

Speaker 2: 36:43

But that's what trump said, why he never went after hillary, even though they say he's gonna go after all that. But it's like he's not being you know but regardless, it shouldn't be him going after.

Speaker 1: 36:51

It, should be other people in law enforcement that should go after him if they did something illegal, sure.

Speaker 2: 36:57

Yeah, you're right, that's what should have happened. If it was illegal, it should have been caught and dealt with.

Speaker 1: 37:02

If it's within statute of limitations, they still should go after him.

Speaker 2: 37:06

They also asked that same person asked him if he was going to pardon Hunter Biden. He said I think joe should. Honestly he goes. But you know, so it sounds like he might would actually pardon hunter biden. Maybe who trump why, I don't know, I have that's what it sounded kind of like he, maybe he would, I don't know nah, if somebody does something, it doesn't matter who you are or what position you're in or what position your daddy's in.

Speaker 1: 37:33

You do something wrong, you go to jail, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 2: 37:37

Yeah, but that's not how politics work.

Speaker 1: 37:39

I know, and that's why I really don't like politics.

Speaker 2: 37:42

Yeah, but something has to be done. I mean, somebody has to be.

Speaker 1: 37:49

That's like all this diddy shit. They keep saying all this shit about what's going to happen this and that and it's not. But what about that epstein shit and the other one? Nothing, nothing nothing.

Speaker 2: 37:59

You know trump, that's another thing he said. He said he, he, this time. He said immediately, he's releasing the jfk. Immediately. He said and he said and by the way, martin luther king 2 needs released.

Speaker 1: 38:12

Wow so I think everybody already knows what happened both yeah, he said that there was.

Speaker 2: 38:19

He said he only looked through about 50 of it, but that there was people alive that are still around that were involved. So he didn't want to put it out. That's's what he said, without saying anything else, because Joe was trying to get it out of him. He's like I can't tell you anything.

Speaker 1: 38:39

But what I'm saying is so what?

Speaker 2: 38:42

They did something foul it should have been out a long time ago. It should be out. Yeah, I agree, it should have been out a long, long time ago. The American people should know what's going on.

Speaker 1: 38:50

That's what I'm saying. They put the American people blinding. They blind them. They don't really know what's going on behind closed doors, kind of shit.

Speaker 2: 38:59

And did you know it's like for years it was never legal to have propaganda in the United States and like they're not allowed Legally, they would have gotten in trouble if they put out propaganda to us and that they overturned that in the last 10 years that they're allowed to actually give if they put out propaganda to us and that they overturned that in the last 10 years that they're allowed to actually give us propaganda.

Speaker 2: 39:18

Yeah, they were for sure they were just doing it for different other organizations, but yeah, but they made it where it's legal now.

Speaker 1: 39:27

Yeah, what presidency was in when?

Speaker 2: 39:28

they did that? I can't remember. If it was, I want to say it was Obama, I think might've been the one. I think pretty sure the problem is is that they get in the that every people think they're doing right. That's the problem. And Democrats are like that too, like with the, when they want to control you, like she's made the comments about the, the first amendment.

Speaker 2: 39:52

You know you shouldn't be able to just like say whatever the hell you want on the internet and this, and that we get it. And I and you know you do have a lot of trolls on there. It's a lot to deal with, it's a lot to take in, but that's our like. That's that's like the american like most valuable right that we have is freedom of speech, but they think that we'd be better off without it. It's not that they well, maybe, well, maybe they think they know what's best for us. Maybe, I don't know, but they think that it should be illegal, for sure, 100%. They think that that it should be, that you shouldn't be.

Speaker 2: 40:30

They don't think like what Elon Musk. Elon musk is doing allowing twitter to just be the wild, wild west. They just don't. They think that's absolutely insane. Like they, that's just nuts to them like that should never happen, you know, but it's not. I mean, like youtube bar bars some of our videos from playing because of stuff that's said, and we're when we're saying it, we're only commenting on something that somebody else already said and then all of a sudden YouTube just takes the video down.

Speaker 1: 41:02

So, on a percentage-wise, what do you think it's? Mostly you get us banned. No, I think you were the first one of here.

Speaker 2: 41:14

Yeah, what was it, oprah? Oh, that was true, not according not according to them, they made that shit go.

Speaker 2: 41:21

In fact, I want to say who was the other? What was the other one? The other one, I think, might have been bill gates, and it was you too, but that was true too. That's the stuff that they're banning, like when you say stuff about Oprah, bill Gates or um, mine that I got was for when I I suggested that the 2020 election might be, might be rigged. That's like that's a big no. No, you can't do that on here. That's an unacceptable thing, which I don't understand, cause Joe Rogan can post it, with trump himself saying, yeah, it's fake, it was what it did to what it was, definitely rigged. Like he can post that, but we can't. But he definitely wouldn't post certain videos. He said it in the opening of that. Yeah, I seen it because he's worried about it getting when some of that's just copyright too, like they just don't want you to have, like certain music.

Speaker 1: 42:12

Still look into Bill Gates.

Speaker 2: 42:15

You'll agree with me. I'm not saying I don't agree with you. All I'm saying is YouTube.

Speaker 1: 42:21

don't agree with you, youtube is the one I don't agree with you. I got banned the second time. I forgot about that, but how could you just ban me for being untruthful?

Speaker 2: 42:30

Well, they don't feel it is. They feel that they're controlled. To me, that's that you just took away from freedom of speech. Right there, that is a. That is so. If you think that they don't want to take your freedom of speech, you're wrong. They already are. Youtube is and facebook was, but facebook came out and said they're not doing it no more. For real, yeah, you didn't see that whole thing. Oh yeah, mark zuckerberg actually. Uh, he wrote a letter. We put it on the.

Speaker 1: 43:02

We had it on the podcast.

Speaker 2: 43:03

He wrote a letter to to the congress and said basically that yeah, that they, in 2020, were telling them not to post. They didn't want this posted. They didn't want this posted. Hunter Biden's laptop story was one of them, and that's why they say that like, even if Trump is like, because when Trump says election interference, everybody immediately goes to the ballots and where they legally cast and stuff like that, which I don't believe 100% of that was accurate and I don't think that it ever is.

Speaker 2: 43:33

I mean, you've got the hanging chads and the Bush thing and I mean I think that it always is going to exist. There's going to be some of it out there. There's always going to be somebody who thinks their vote should count more than just once. You know what I mean. But he's also talking about just the fact that they're, you know, hiding stories on Twitter, not and banning people from talking about Hunter Biden's laptop and stuff. That's a big. They say that's a 17 point swing, that that would have been. That's the claim. They say that just that would have been a 17 point swing, just a Hunter Biden laptop story, which I don't even know. I mean I don't. Did they ever say what was in that laptop?

Speaker 1: 44:14

I don't know, not always allegedly crackhead.

Speaker 2: 44:18

Yeah, oh, did you see? They're putting all over the internet now that that that coke that was found in the white house was kamala's. Oh my god, they just, they just can't stop dude, they just. And people are nuts, man, they're absolutely nuts. No, I'm not sticking up for kamala, but I don't think it was hers. But no, no, but I definitely it came from joe's party, I'd say joe's brother or son's party. I would think that would be my suspect.

Speaker 1: 44:46

I mean, I don't know, I if I had a son like that, I wouldn't let him in the wet house. I'm like you can get me in those shit.

Speaker 2: 44:53

Stay the hell out of here, right? I mean, when your kids are just like too fucked up, you have to cut them off. I mean, don't mean you can't be for them, but they can't be around you, you can't yeah leaving coke in the White House.

Speaker 2: 45:04

Yeah, I mean if you had a business, if you had a business meeting, and you're, and you had a cracked out, tweaked out son, you're not going to take them to the business meeting with you. It's just not what you're going to do. No, I'm just kidding, but I mean that that's hard. That's part of that whole. There's a, there's a, there's a thing in the United States. Now that's really weird. Like we grew up, um, we grew up on uh, on the uh premise of hard work, dress for the job you want. That that's what we were taught. And now everybody doesn't like think that they that hard work is right. They don't think you know. I mean, like people don't want to work hard anymore. They think that that things should just come to them and if they don't, then they blame everyone else for it not coming to them. You don't get anything unless you just, or unless you, work hard and also at the same time.

Speaker 1: 46:01

You're wrong. It's not like that, no more. You just said it. People got more of me. Now I work my ass off every day.

Speaker 2: 46:07

I understand that. But a lot of those people worked harder and smarter than you, that's all. Harder I don't think harder, maybe smarter they might have. I mean, you're talking about people that you. I don't know who you're talking about specifically, but when I look at, like, say, joe Plattis, which is somebody I know who's got a lot of money, he's done well.

Speaker 2: 46:29

He busted his ass, dude. It was open. I mean, it was night and day. He was out there busting ass, running, I mean, and training guys and getting everybody moving, yeah, but at the time that was a different time. I mean he did, but I'm just saying he did so.

Speaker 2: 46:42

Now you see him relaxing. You think, oh, he's got, but he, I mean he, he already put into work to get himself there. And the same things with keith. You know you see him relaxing or not. Really, now he's kind of working hard now. But I mean you see he's got all this stuff. I mean he, he did that. I mean he, he.

Speaker 2: 46:59

What you didn't see is the you know 20 hour work days when he first started. You know what I'm saying and and things like that. So I mean even, even, even like these people that go on the social media and stuff like that. The ones that are good are putting in the work. They're not like just it's like that.

Speaker 2: 47:19

Nikki Glaser, when she did the roast, remember oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I heard that they spent I forget what it was, I can't remember now she really did it that time. Oh, she killed it, but she put in like 10 hours or something. Just deciding which word fit best in a joke. Like I mean, that's putting in the work. Like I mean no matter what hard work has got to be there, even if it's not like physical work, you can't get lazy about it.

Speaker 2: 47:45

And something I was complaining I was talking about this week, like you know, it's that complacency. Like you start laying on the couch. You know what I mean. You're laying on the couch, you're not doing anything, and then all of a sudden somebody wants you to do something. It's a big deal. It's like it's a pain in the ass. If you're out running around, you just put gas in your. But like you, you do it all the time. You're always taking gas to somebody changing a tire for somebody doing you're always and you're out and about and you're doing it. But, dude, if you sat in the house for like a month and just laid on the couch and watch netflix.

Speaker 2: 48:21

If they called you to do that, it would be the biggest burden in the world to you it would be, it would be miserable, like oh my god, you know what I mean, but I don't want to. Yeah, I mean it's and that's the thing, and people get like they've got to get themselves in that motion where they're working and they're like you know what I mean, not like just being a couch potato all the time, and but that's the problem.

Speaker 1: 48:39

People don't realize that I do that. I crash when I'm, when I'm like three weeks of running, when I go home.

Speaker 2: 48:45

Sometimes I'll just stay in the house three, four days.

Speaker 1: 48:58

I'm like well, like I ain't doing it, and then I get back to my normal thing and I'm running around, but that's what happens to a lot of people, and especially people who aren't working.

Speaker 2: 49:05

When you're not working, you get. And then I was bringing this, I brought this up actually with steven last night and he was talking about it with with uh, amber, because I mean, you've seen her last night. She's worked hard, she's been going to the gym. He's like, all of a sudden, now everything, she's got energy to do everything and I think that's part of like the depression problems that are in america. I think it's part of the the. I mean, it's just people need to get out and do stuff, and and I think when they give so much away, like they are, they're causing the depression, they're causing the, and then not only that, then the foods are probably slowing you down too. Oh yeah that's 100.

Speaker 2: 49:42

I agree with that yeah, you always say that, but I mean you look at that like the sluggishness that of of the of people, and it's probably has to do with all the processed foods. And what are the EMG, emos or whatever EMGs?

Speaker 2: 49:57

or stuff they say you put it in, but all that shit just kind of makes you sluggish and tears you up. You know what I mean, so I think that it would. I mean, it's kind of like you know what. Honestly, let's go back to politics, kamala and Trump. Trump has never stopped. For him to fly to PA, texas and Vegas in one day is nothing, he just does it.

Speaker 2: 50:24

We all know Kamala wasn't doing shit the whole presidency. She was not doing anything. So now to do campaigns is like if she does an interview, she's off for two days. You don't see her again. Trump does an interview and cuts it short to go to a rally. You know what I'm saying? Like it's just and it's not. I'm not knocking her, I'm saying that that's what it is, though it's that, like you don't do anything, you're used to your comfort, you're in your comfort area, and anything else outside of that comfort area becomes a burden because you're, you're just always in that comfort area. You know, and I see it with you, know, I've seen it with other friends that I have, where they like don't go out and about, and then when they get out and about and they're doing stuff, they are 10 times happier. I mean just 100 happier, just in a better mood, everything right, you know, I mean, and things aren't as big of a burden that. That's. The biggest thing is that like switching from doing nothing to having to do something that's funny.

Speaker 1: 51:22

You're talking about the miserable this. Uh, a friend of mine. Yesterday we was talking and she was like oh, I don't know what it is, I'm just so sluggish and tired all the time, blah, blah. I said it's probably. I said I'm the same way. Yeah, we run around, we work a lot, I said, but we ain't eating right. That's what the problem is. I said you're probably just tired. Your vitamin levels are all fucking whack. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2: 51:43

yeah, and then what about that? Wasn't you gonna drink something? Wasn't there something you were gonna drink? That you said that, or?

Speaker 1: 51:47

oh, what was that.

Speaker 2: 51:49

Oh yeah, yeah, what the heck was that? I don't know. I got it on my. You said it's gonna do something with your stomach or something right, yeah, I get rid of this pizza, but it's no it's. You said it like gets rid of some enzymes in there or something right?

Speaker 1: 52:01

I don't know. It was a salt, some kind of salt boom. Friend of mine sent me some info on it. I gotta look at it. I really got into it.

Speaker 2: 52:07

Yeah, me and steven were talking about two last night, like when we were kids, like in the 70s, like your whole family was skinny right man you ever watch videos on just like people at the beach and stuff like that.

Speaker 1: 52:17

Yeah, I see them all the time yeah, everybody's skinny.

Speaker 2: 52:19

Guess what they were all cooking with crisco and bacon grease. That's what they say you're not supposed to right. But I mean, dude you, I'm sure your house was just like mine it was either crisco or the empty crisco had bacon grease in it, right, right, I mean, and that's what we cooked everything with.

Speaker 3: 52:37

Say it's bad for you so they say but look at us now we were skinny back then it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2: 52:45

We was young back then too. No, but my family was skinny. Yeah, my family, everybody I knew was skinny. Like to see a fat person in the seventies was like it was funny. They stood out. Yeah, you didn't see that very often. That was rare. Now you see somebody overweight.

Speaker 1: 53:01

I mean it's calm, it's more common. It's just fading in the comments, you know.

Speaker 2: 53:04

Yeah, I mean, nowadays you can like literally not leave the house, be looking in a mirror and see somebody overweight, especially if I looked in your mirror. I I mean it's, it's just, it's just how bad it is and it's I believe it wholeheartedly, it's the diet, and I think that it's because they keep talking about seed oils are bad. Now see, remember when they started saying that's how you have to do seed oils, seed oils, seed oils, and they got rid of crisco and bacon grease. Yeah, now they're saying seed oils are horrible for you.

Speaker 1: 53:35

That Crisco. I don't care, but when you fried something up in that whoo, it was crispy.

Speaker 2: 53:41

Oh, my God, and those pies. My grandma used to make them pies.

Speaker 1: 53:44

How can that not?

Speaker 2: 53:45

be healthy for you.

Speaker 1: 53:46

Oh, just, I mean just a pure joy you get out of it has to bring your depression levels up right you'd be like yeah, I want to just go outside and run in the wind.

Speaker 2: 53:57

Maybe we're all just depressed because we're eating shitty food that doesn't taste good, because we're not using bacon and crisco that might be what it is. I'm going to get me some crisco as soon as I leave. Do they still have sell it? Yeah, see, when I was talking with uh hanko that but it's so expensive here yeah, it's real expensive.

Speaker 2: 54:14

When I was talking with hanko when he had owned this place, when they did the fish fries, because this was their thing they used that's all they used was lard. Yeah, that's all they used. And he goes you can't get it good without the lard. He goes you'll never get it the same without the lard, because they had the cracker dustings and lard and that's how they did their fish. Try it next time. You can't, you can't afford it.

Speaker 2: 54:34

They, they make it, they make lard so that you won't buy it. They're just, they're not putting it out there. We get it by the bulk. That's what I'm talking about. I buy it by the bulk. Are you saying I don't know? They, they, they won't sell it to you. Dude, they're not gonna. It don't even exist. You won't even find it anywhere like in bulk, like that. They just it don't even exist. You won't even find it anywhere Like in bulk, like that. They just, they don't even have it. It's like those.

Speaker 2: 54:56

Remember when I got those red those? What are those oranges? You like Blood oranges? Yeah, those were garbage, that's fine, but remember I ordered them the one time, yeah, yeah. So I ordered these blood oranges and they were reasonably priced. But you wanted them and we were doing them with the summer shanty and you were telling us how good they were. They were, so I order them right. So then the next week I go to order my was on the app. They were four grand for a case of oranges. How much was they originally? Like I don't know, 70 bucks or something, 60. So I, so I reached out to him. I go, dude, why does it say the oranges are for you? So I don't know, I it Next week. They're still there. I go, dude, why are the blood oranges? He goes, dude, they just don't want anybody to buy them, they don't want to stock them, they don't want to carry them, so they just overprice them and they're not going to do it.

Speaker 1: 55:44

Period for you. Blood oranges, I don't know. You said that ours weren't that good, though no, the ones I used to pluck off the tree in louisiana were so good. Oh my god, I never had nothing like that.

Speaker 2: 55:59

Does it still taste like an orange? Yeah, but it tastes more like grapefruit, right, a little bit like yeah, it's got like a tangy grapefruit taste to it. Oh my god, they were so good I didn't think they were horrible the ones we had, but I didn't know they were horrible the ones we had, but I didn't taste the one off the tree.

Speaker 1: 56:13

Yeah, no, that was because they're all over. And my friend told me that he's like you ever have a bud of orange. I said no. He said there's some right there, go grab one. It was in some neighbor's yard and the lady was out there. I said, hey, get a couple of these, take as many as you want.

Speaker 2: 56:34

You bag put a couple in there and they were so good really well, I know, like even an apple's way better off the tree though here. Oh yeah, I mean when we like when me and dylan will go to the at which we got to do this week. We always go to hillcrest out there and pick apples and do the pumpkin, to get pumpkins and all that stuff. But when we go there dylan will eat apples straight off the tree, but then once they're at home for over a day, he kind of of doesn't have any interest in them, which I still like an apple anyways.

Speaker 1: 56:54

But 31st street. We still live on 31st street and now everybody had like fruit trees around it. You don't see that no more. I think people got tired of the bees and shit. I don't know. I don't know, but you don't see him anymore.

Speaker 2: 57:08

I think they started selling the ornamentals and then people liked that better so they didn't have to deal with it in their lawn. I don't know, but they were so good. Yeah, I mean, yeah, we had pears. I remember Mr Hanco that lived right down the street from us, which who was related to the owners of these. They were like three houses down, they were like two doors over from Anthony, where Anthony grew up at, and we would go over there and they had pears in the backyard Every once in a while. They'd let us go get them. They were so good, they were really good when they would let us.

Speaker 1: 57:37

The apples. What was it like every other year? Or something they'd grow? I don't know. We used to go to Ricky's house and they always had apples, and then the following year they wouldn't have shit.

Speaker 2: 57:46

We always my grandmother worked at Spie so we always, like we grew up on Fresh fruit. You know what I mean from the orchard and stuff. She'd bring it home all the time and, uh, she was An apple picker now, the only thing people Plant is weed yeah, yeah, it's true, I'd like to do fruit trees, like I think that Would be cool to do some fruit trees, got a whole field right there.

Speaker 2: 58:08

Oh, back there, plant them. Why not Put some noise, knock some noise down to, uh, plant like you gotta plant two though right, I don't know none about it so they can cross, pollinate, or whatever you gotta plant. You can't plant them in one, like if you plant one apple tree, it'll never grow apples. Gotta be two, so they pollinate each other. I think that's true. I've seen apple trees single by themselves. Nah, there's one nearby that you don't know about. Probably Maybe the other one got cut down or something. No, no, no, no. They pollinate, so they have to do it at that time.

Speaker 1: 58:40

They're basically having sex, it's like tree sex, not when you've been a specialist in tree sex. You can't even get laid with a uniform.

Speaker 2: 58:54

What the hell are you talking about Shit? It don't matter, I recognize sex when I see it. And trees have sex. Okay, okay, no, they do, they have to be. They pollinate each other somehow. I thought birds did that and shit they do, but they've got to be close enough that it still gets there, though I'm pretty sure we could google it real quick.

Speaker 1: 59:16

Man, we've been on here long enough. Go ahead, google it.

Speaker 2: 59:21

He hates when he's wrong I'm not do you need? Do you need multiple trees to fruit trees to produce? Fruit Trees to produce fruit Hell.

Speaker 1: 59:38

No, who the hell told you that?

Speaker 2: 59:42

Most trees need to be pollinated by other trees or trees to produce fruit, so it doesn't have to be the same type, but yes, it has to be. Some trees, like apricot peaches, nectarines and sour cherries, can pollinate themselves and bear fruit. However, many produce more fruit if cross-pollinated. So they might, but you'd still get more if you had some of them, they said.

Speaker 2: 1:00:04

So it sounds like we're both right, kind of. But I was right. But apples ain't on there. Apples need two, does it yeah? Apples ain't on there. Apples need two, does it yeah? But it says that it can happen through wind and pollinating and stuff like our bees, but it's still the other tree that has to get transferred to that one. It still has to happen that way.

Speaker 2: 1:00:25

They don't have to be next to it. No, not next to it, but they got to be within a certain distance. You can't put one in the middle, like if I put one in the middle of that field out there, it's probably it's got to be semi close. They got to have tree sex bro. Yeah, you're an expert, I'm not talking about when you go and put the stick in the hole in the bottom of the tree and make sure there's no bees. Try and find you a honey hole.

Speaker 1: 1:00:58

You're a little more experienced in tree sex than you are in real sex, whatever.

Speaker 2: 1:01:06

That's how it goes, man, when you fall asleep. The problem is my mom lives so far away, she's got to come. If we're gonna go out and have a good time like that, she's got to come babysit. So then my mom's home, and we ain't even got a door up there on that loft, you know, I mean, you can't just be acting a fool up there with your mama downstairs. It don't matter anyways, because my ass was passed out anyhow. I was crashed the hell out she?

Speaker 1: 1:01:36

what do you think? She forgot how you was conceived through my mom, I don't care, it's still disrespectful.

Speaker 2: 1:01:42

I'm not that person that would be as disrespectful as it could possibly be, I would think anyways I bet when you was younger you'd think that you in the basement with somebody oh, I would sneak it in. Yeah, that's sneaking, but I'd still sneak it in. I wasn't trying to do it like where she would hear anything or anything Choking. The girl Shut up Trying to sneak it in, but my mom's always been busy anyways, so it don't much matter. What do you got on there?

Speaker 1: 1:02:14

That's me passed out, not getting laid, yeah, you had the uniform on.

Speaker 2: 1:02:19

That sucks. Yeah, it did not work out in my favor. I woke up this morning. I was all twisted on that damn couch. I'm like damn it, I fell asleep down here. So much for the uniform. Now she's gonna have me running around the backyard with it on. Yeah, knocking on the door.

Speaker 1: 1:02:35

Hey, plant them flowers. Make sure you've got your uniform on. Hello ma'am.

Speaker 2: 1:02:40

Is there a disturbance here? Is there a disturbance? Can I come and check? What a motherfucker Ain't this a bitch?

Speaker 1: 1:02:52

Yeah, how many cops were here yesterday.

Speaker 2: 1:02:54

There was a bunch, I think they were all trying to sleep with my wife.

Speaker 1: 1:02:56

They heard the podcast and they're like oh, she likes cops Four five. I could count five.

Speaker 2: 1:03:02

Yeah, that sounds right. Did you count the men in black? No, it's kind of the same thing.

Speaker 1: 1:03:06

Similar man in uniform but it was women in a cop uniform no cop uniforms were five of those, five of them.

Speaker 2: 1:03:15

Yeah, that one had like the short sleeves or whatever and he was with his girlfriend or whatever. Who was that? She act like she knew me right away and I'm like I I hate when they do that and I don't know who they are. Halloween's the worst, yeah, because you can't really see. Yeah, you can't pick it out. You're like you think you got them, them. And then Amanda asked me who's the one inside that's got the mask? And I'm like the one that had the X's on his mask and I'm like I don't know, I didn't see it. And then she's all worried about it, thinking it's somebody that we know. And then I see him out on the patio. I don't think we had a clue who that guy was, whatsoever. Yeah, I'd never seen him before.

Speaker 1: 1:03:52

There was one guy out there. He kept saying stuff like he was a regular. I'd never seen him before. He was just kind of putting his opinion out there a little too much. I'm younger dude, hey dude.

Speaker 2: 1:04:09

There's a guy that's been coming in here too that I see, that I hear a lot all the time, that I just I didn't realize he was here. But I was out there to one day and he, I got the vibe that he felt he was a regular. And then and then now and I look at the camera I see him out here a lot. So he does come, he is a regular, yeah, apparently just late night regular I guess. Yeah, I'm like he's saying stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:04:31

That was kind of I was like who is this guy?

Speaker 2: 1:04:34

like I don't even know who the hell he is. So you think they got the costumes right, as in what the kind like when they yelled? Or you think it was just a popularity contest? No, that was popular. Yeah, that's what I think too. Maybe we should just not even have a halloween party, just have a popularity contest. Yeah, like, uh, who's the best bartender thing, or something. Oh no, we can't do that. I'll tell you what and I know that this is gonna piss people off why don't do it? No, I'm gonna do it anyway. Can't help myself. My sales would have been way better if there would have been one more bartender in there. But the problem is when I bring another bartender in every time, I try to double up on the bartenders. One of them doesn't do anything and one of them works their ass you're right, there's one that sits outside smoke cigarettes bullshit.

Speaker 2: 1:05:24

Yeah, it just aggravates me, so it's not even point it does. You don't get anything out of it by having them here, but if there was an extra bartender inside and out, they could add extra bartenders. People were waiting for drinks far too much yesterday, way too much, and the sales show it. The sales are, no, not much better than they are on any given friday and and some saturdays. You know what I mean. So that's got to get in check somebody. It's that they can't keep happening like that. It just can't. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 1:05:56

We gotta, I gotta, like people. It's gonna have to have to be doubled up and they're gonna have to put in the work. I mean they're gonna have to do it and we're gonna have to be on them. But the problem is then I to put in the work. I mean they're going to have to do it and I'm going to have to be on them, but the problem is then I turn into an asshole and I hate when I have to do that, but that's what has to happen, because that's what happened that one year. Remember, the one girl wasn't doing shit and I had to fire her right in the middle of the show. She's literally doing nothing and she's nothing to do. It's like literally, I can walk back. That day I literally walked down the back of the bar, out the outside patio and back and the whole time I was getting drinks, cleaning off glasses and wiping the bar and I could do that consistently, never stop, and I could do it a whole night.

Speaker 1: 1:06:37

I think what you need to do, which is my opinion, means nothing. It's just to have each girl bringing their own bar back.

Speaker 2: 1:06:46

Pay them, you pay your bar back. We needed more than a bar back. We needed people pouring drinks and getting drinks.

Speaker 1: 1:06:52

Well, if a lot of that shit was cleaned out, them girls way they could have been a bar back would be helpful. Maybe I don't know. Yeah, I mean Daryl's done it plenty of times Yourself. Just Darryl's done it plenty of times Yourself. Just how about clean up and get it out the way? You know what I'm saying. It goes faster.

Speaker 2: 1:07:06

Still would go a lot. Those sales last night could have been easily 70% higher. Oh, I agree, 100%, maybe more. Yeah, I mean easily. I mean easily and I think that I've seen people that just couldn't get drinks and left. I think I saw that At least three people I think I saw that situation with. So I mean that's not good, that's not. I mean, if you're here to sell something, you got to be able to get it in their hands for them to use it.

Speaker 1: 1:07:36

There was a guy really bitching about the to-go containers. Who was? Some guy that came in to get a sandwich? Oh, the carry-out fee or whatever.

Speaker 2: 1:07:46

He was mad. A lot of people are. A lot of people get mad about it. And you know, that's the thing I was talking with when I had Kenny Greer on this week, because we had Kenny Greer on this week and I was talking about that because Pete got mad about the meatloaf and he won't come no more. Remember, Remember he came and got meatloaf every week. Yeah, what happened? And I raised the meatloaf price like three times. He never complained, but as soon as it was, for that to-go container won't come back.

Speaker 2: 1:08:14

But, see what brought it up was he was asking me about the. There's a new system now with credit cards and a lot of places are doing it and I'm sure you've run into it where there's one price for this but if you use a credit card it goes up. Have you seen that? No, but I won't do it. I won't use it. That's how I feel about it. Like, I feel like it's a it's.

Speaker 2: 1:08:36

I don't like it, but a lot of people are starting to almost like dude when I my credit card fees right now. A month, or like $1,500 a month, I mean a 1500 a month is a lot for me to put out. You know what I mean and it's really not that much if you did add it in everybody's fees. You know what I'm saying and that's that's that's. People are going to it. It's, it's it's becoming more and more popular. For sure that they're doing, and I, a lot of places are doing it, and I'm I'm I'm apt to say that when I feel comfortable enough that america or the people around here have accepted it, that I'll go ahead and do it too. But until then, I just feel like it pissed people off. I seen what the dollar 50 fee. Did I mean it?

Speaker 1: 1:09:21

it pissed people off you know, that dude was like really furious about it and I was like he's like I understand this and I understand that, but what about this?

Speaker 2: 1:09:28

and I was like well, what does he think? That they just give me those to-go containers? They don't. They're like 60 cents a piece for the container, plus the forks are like 50 cents. That that little spoon pit, those are like a 50 cents a piece. And then then you're getting mayonnaise or ketchup and stuff that I got to keep in here stocked, which I mean you're getting $1.50. You're not like, and if you and, by the way, if you order two or three to-go's, you're getting well over your money. You're getting way more, because I'd only charge you $1.50 for to-go. That's it One time. So for the people that are getting one to go container, maybe that's, you know what I mean. Maybe that's a little more, maybe I make a quarter on it. You know what I mean. But if somebody gets three to goes, all of a sudden I've lost, you know, a dollar on it. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1: 1:10:19

Like well, I think it's a combination of the food costs went up so high and and I ain't saying you, I'm just saying in the country.

Speaker 2: 1:10:26

I get it, but when that food cost went up, so did the containers Right.

Speaker 1: 1:10:33

So all that stuff went up, so it's not like it's. So what I'm saying is that they're looking at it like damn, I'm paying as much for the food and now I'm getting charged for the container.

Speaker 2: 1:10:40

Right but they go to the grocery store. You know what it's like at the grocery store.

Speaker 1: 1:10:43

No, I tried to explain it to the guy. He was still mad. So you know what I did. I gave him a pop. I said there you go. In fact, I would say this I would say every husband out there that they have.

Speaker 2: 1:10:56

If there's husband and wives out there that don't go to the grocery store cause I don't, amanda usually goes I went, fuck that. I mean I know, because I was buying here. I was irritated. I walked through that place. I'm like this is bullshit, like this is. I mean you get irritated because it's like they spend a lot at the grocery store. Why are they spending so damn much? You know Right, and it's not them. It's not them. That's all there is there. It's crazy, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:11:16

I go to the store of shit 75, 80 bucks.

Speaker 2: 1:11:26

I'm like what the hell? Like nothing, crazy dude. I used to when I lived on willow. Now, granted, this is what 30 years ago at this point, not 29 years ago, or something like that and we would, our grocery bill for the week was 100 bucks, right, a hundred dollars, but I made 780 a week or something like that. You know what I mean. Now you're talking your grocery bill for the week's like four, 50 and you're making 1100 a week. I mean then, the same job. I'm not that job, but I mean, yeah, that's what it was. It don't make no sense, it just doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1: 1:11:58

And then your cars are more, your houses are more, your electric is more, your water gas, all that it's crazy. I don't even know how people are making it. It's like the wild wild west out here, dude, this shit's got to stop. That's why I said we got to plant fruit.

Speaker 2: 1:12:12

What we got to do is what they got to do? Is they got to go? If it's going to be this way, people got to and I think it will by forced habit I think you're going to see a lot more of your escort type cars on the road and your ranch homes like Homewood, you know, being developed and I mean that's just what's going to happen. I mean people, it's just force. I mean people still need places to live. They just can't afford those ones. You know what I mean. So you're going to see those small cars, the small. I mean that's what's's going to happen, all out of the fact that they can't afford, unless you know it gets under control. But you know, like I'm a firm believer, Like I think Trump's the best option, I'm definitely, I'm definitely voting for Trump. I think everybody should, but I don't think he can fix what's there now, A hundred percent. I know the energy will, but you know how greedy people are.

Speaker 2: 1:13:04

If they're getting eight dollars like he just adam just said eight dollars for a pint of blueberries at apples, if they can get eight dollars for a pint of blueberries at apples and you'll pay it, they'll just keep selling them for eight bucks, no matter how, and you've seen that when the wings went down all these places, I was the only one around here that lowered my wing prices when wings went down. And then, now that they're up, now I'm back up, but everybody else was like keeping them at that. They were like, oh, I can get 22, and now I'm only paying 40 for a case, or 80 for a case of wings. I'll just still get the 22 and make up the difference. You know, have some fun with that money. And I never did that, which I probably should, but I never did it.

Speaker 2: 1:13:47

But that's what's going to happen, People, they're not dropping it. They're not going to. It's not going to be magically, mystically. They're going to start selling you $40,000 trucks again. That's not going to happen. It's just not. They're not going to drop it down because Trump got an office, no matter what he does, no matter if the electric goes down, because that's as thing as energy costs. It's not going to happen. Now you've got to seize it so it stops going up and you've got to get them wages up so that people can afford it. That's the only way right now. But I believe his tariff plan will work, though I think in my opinion.

Speaker 1: 1:14:18

There's a lot of people say no, but I think there's a lot of cons of that too, because people will still buy what's coming in, that's got tariff, and then they're going to have to pay the difference. The consumer's going to pay the difference, not if they can't afford it.

Speaker 2: 1:14:33

If they can't afford it or can't afford it. If they can't afford it, they're not going to pay it. And then maybe we'll manufacture it here. The problem is, we would never do. Nobody in business would do what america's doing. I mean, they just wouldn't. China loans us money. We give it away to all these other countries. You know what I'm saying? Like we just give money away to protect them or whatever we do. We give all this money away. Meanwhile, it's all borrowed money from china. And then china if we sell something in china, they charge us 100 200 percent tariff on it. And then they sell stuff to us with no tariffs. Well, now they do, but now they have tariffs on it. By the way, it's not Trump only they are putting tariffs on it now, but China was doing 200% tariffs on some of their items that they're selling to the United States. Right now they're doing that. Or some of the things the United States sells to China, they're putting a 200% tariff on it.

Speaker 1: 1:15:27

But either way, where do you think the difference is going to come from? It's still going to be consumer, for sure, it's going to be the consumer no.

Speaker 2: 1:15:35

Yeah, short term, yes, maybe this Christmas, whenever everything changes up and that happens, or the first Christmas. Maybe that'll be a Christmas where you can't go buy as many cheap gadgets or whatever. But eventually, the long-term goal of that is that we'll just start manufacturing here, because when it becomes more efficient to manufacture here and, by the way, you're going to hold American companies to these stringent, you know, policies Meanwhile China has no policies and you let them bring it in with no tariffs. They have no that. They're not beating us on wages, even though they are.

Speaker 2: 1:16:10

But that's not what's killing us, it's, it's all the regulation. They don't have to do shit. They pollute the shit out of the water, the ocean, the air, and then it's just. I mean, we're sharing a home, that we're sharing the same earth. It's coming right here to us. We're getting polluted, just the same whether china's doing it or we're doing it. But we make a big deal like, oh, we can't do that here. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 1:16:30

Meanwhile, china's just freaking, you know polluting, doing whatever the fuck they want. They're still squeegeeing oil into the rivers, you know what I'm saying and that. And then we're buying this stuff and we're in the hole with them. We owe them money and we're giving that money away like we're not even, like we're literally borrowing money from them to give to other people, and then we owe them a shit ton of money and then they're charging us extra tariffs to even sell anything back to them. Like business would not. No business in the world would function like this. There's just nobody that would. The mob was smarter than this. That's that's them. Uh, like this, there's just nobody that would.

Speaker 1: 1:17:06

The mob was smarter than this. That's them lobbyists and shit.

Speaker 2: 1:17:12

A dope boy from South Lorraine's got more common sense in selling his drugs and how he would sell them than the US government and how they're doing it with China, and not just China, it's other countries that are the same. So I mean I don't know.

Speaker 1: 1:17:28

I don't think the tariffs is the answer, for sure it has to be.

Speaker 2: 1:17:32

I mean you have to play it equal.

Speaker 1: 1:17:33

It's always going to come to the consumer.

Speaker 2: 1:17:35

Always. It's going to create jobs, though, because they'll have to make the stuff here.

Speaker 1: 1:17:40

Not if the difference is still cheaper to bring it in, even with not if it's still. If the difference is still cheaper to bring it in, even if it, even with the tariffs on top of it.

Speaker 2: 1:17:46

Okay, so we made all the chips in the country. We made them all that Like we were the ones that, like we're made them. Originally we were the chip manufacturers of the country, not potato chips, microchips and stuff like that. We did it, we made all of them. We, we basically made all of them, we basically made all of them. And then China, north Korea, whoever it is, they just steal them. They just start making the same thing.

Speaker 1: 1:18:14

They're making the manufacturing exact same thing and shipping them. That's because we send pretty much the diagram for them there, for them to make it for us, and then they steal it yeah you're right, sure right, I get it, but now they're manufacturing all of them.

Speaker 2: 1:18:24

They, they steal it. Yeah, you're right, sure right, I get it, but now they're manufacturing all of them. They're getting filthy rich. We're protecting them. We're putting our money out there to protect them, or we're borrowing from China on something that's our thing. From the beginning, I mean it. Just none of it makes sense, like nobody would do business this way, nobody would. So, to keep it a fair playing ground, you put that tariff. And maybe you put that and say until you get regulations that control your environment pollution, maybe, maybe that's a possibility. Maybe you say until your standards are at the US standards, then you have a tariff period. I think that's fair.

Speaker 1: 1:18:58

But you're going like okay, well, we'll just start building that stuff ourselves. Well, until then, until we're capable or have the facilities and all that other stuff to do it, they're going to smash us on the price on that.

Speaker 2: 1:19:09

That's alright, just don't get it then.

Speaker 1: 1:19:11

Then what if it's something you've got to have? There's nothing you have to have. Everything's produced out there now. There is stuff we've got to have.

Speaker 2: 1:19:19

Nah, there's nothing, you could get it going. The United States produced most of this stuff. Yeah, well in time they ain't got a story. You don't give Americans enough credit. Dude. Americans can make this happen, I promise you. If it comes down to a shortage and in fact they proved it when the trucks got stopped being produced because they didn't have chips, we started pumping out some chips to get them in there and we did it pretty fast. We got chips in those damn trucks and got them out there for sale pretty quick.

Speaker 1: 1:19:45

Okay, so you're talking, that's you're talking. One thing I'm talking about Like something was still we can do it dude.

Speaker 2: 1:19:51

This is the.

Speaker 1: 1:19:51

United States. How long do you think it'll take to open this mill?

Speaker 2: 1:19:54

That's this mill. There's other mills. We have other mills in the country that are operating. Actually, I understand that but.

Speaker 1: 1:19:59

But I'm saying that we still get a lot of steel shipped in.

Speaker 2: 1:20:03

We shouldn't though that's a shame that we do, but most of that comes from Canada anyways. I think a lot of that steel comes from China.

Speaker 1: 1:20:11

A lot of it comes from China, china and Canada yeah, both, but what I'm saying is that we can't produce what we need. We can no.

Speaker 2: 1:20:19

We can. Okay, if you strip the regulations and you get rid of all the blue tape, like China does, you could be up and running with everything in a year.

Speaker 1: 1:20:26

First of all, it's never going to happen that we strip our regulations. It ain't going to happen.

Speaker 2: 1:20:30

To some degree it's got to If you're going to try and compete in the world. That's the problem. They created this whole thing where they tell us, oh, you got to have a world market, and then they don't want that.

Speaker 1: 1:20:41

They don't make them play by the same rule.

Speaker 2: 1:20:42

Right, that it's bullshit. And, by the way, we're the buyers. See, China all of a sudden is going to start playing by ball because we're the buyers. America buys more crap than anybody in the world, so they can produce whatever they want. They're going to be fucking broke If we don't buy it. You see what I'm saying. They will go broke. You see what I'm saying. They will go broke. There's nothing there for them if we're not buying their products Because they basically China's whole economy is building shit to ship over here to sell us. I mean, you do have power. And to be afraid that you might not get the latest iPhone you know fast enough, or that your refrigerator is going to be down.

Speaker 1: 1:21:23

That would actually make people die. But no, I don't agree with that tariff shit. I don't.

Speaker 2: 1:21:28

Yeah, tariff's the only way to go. You got to keep it fair, you have to and opening it up to a world market and I'm not somebody that doesn't believe in a world market. I just believe that you got to be fair about it. Like it can't be just be just like.

Speaker 1: 1:21:42

I agree with that. They're just pounding us Tariffs is not the answer.

Speaker 2: 1:21:45

I don't think. That's all I'm saying. They're already in place for one year. There's not like a Biden's tariffs on China right now are higher than Trump's were. Fact. That is a fact. That's not a guess. That's a fact because he realized that it had to happen.

Speaker 1: 1:22:00

That's how certain things coming in. That's not more like more tariffs on different stuff.

Speaker 2: 1:22:05

No, but what Trump wants to do is yeah, there are different tariffs for different things depending on what they are.

Speaker 1: 1:22:10

But I'm saying adding more. I don't think is the answer and one of them was is like Mexico.

Speaker 2: 1:22:15

If you're going to build our American cars in Mexico and think you're going to drive them over to border and sell them and get rid of our workers here, then it's a 200% tariff on that car.

Speaker 1: 1:22:24

That's fair, they're just talking about moving Harley somewhere.

Speaker 2: 1:22:28

Yeah, yeah they sure were. Yep, they sure were. And the Ford plant that announced the big it was going to be the largest. I think it was an electric truck plant or maybe it was a battery plant. They were going to build it in Mexico. They were talking about build it in Mexico. They were talking about building it in Mexico and Trump said, if I win, that's a 200% tariff to bring that into the US. And they squashed the whole thing now because they're pretty sure he's going to win.

Speaker 2: 1:22:56

But I mean, that's what kills me is that American union workers aren't supporting somebody who's telling you, if they're taking our jobs out of the country, we're going to tariff them. I mean that's, that's, that's the only person really protecting your job. At that point you know what I mean. That is literally that's who's protecting your job. That's how I see it anyway. I mean I don't I don't know what else it would be, but oh, it's 11, 14, shit. We open, and we're open right now and Dylan's team's going to come down and have the um, the uh, little championship dinner thing that we always do. So I guess we better jump off here. But yeah, we'll have to get more into the tariffs and stuff. I don't see how you could believe that I mean I don't think. I don't see how you could believe that I mean I don't think, I don't see how you could believe that.

Speaker 1: 1:23:45

Where do you, where do you think any any like change like that comes Like? Where does the who's the fall on? It's the consumer all the time, I don't care where. Tariffs, not tariffs, whatever they raise the prices, whatever it comes down to.

Speaker 2: 1:24:01

That's like a union carpenter paying the Amish to build his house to save money.

Speaker 1: 1:24:07

It doesn't make sense, dude, but it happens, it does but it doesn't make sense, and all I'm saying is the tariffs.

Speaker 2: 1:24:14

So you can have a bigger house. You got to have a smarter.

Speaker 1: 1:24:17

Everything comes down to the consumer. You know that.

Speaker 2: 1:24:21

No, because eventually there's nobody that has money to consume whenever all the work is gone. Dude, when the work's gone, it's gone, period Okay. I mean when we're not, but yeah, we're close, we're getting there. Everything in this country right now is a service, and those services in this country will disappear as soon as there's no more money in the country, once these jobs are all gone.

Speaker 1: 1:24:43

A service industry is not going to serve it. Something's got to change, but I don't think tariffs is the answer.

Speaker 2: 1:24:47

Tariffs is the only way that you're going to draw manufacturing back to the United States. That's the only way you're going to do it. You got to lower the taxes on the big businesses that are going to be here so that it's not so. It's appealing Because, by the way, a lot of them go overseas and stuff to avoid paying taxes because they don't have to pay taxes. They're like they pay here. They don't want to pay the big taxes. They never mind the regulation and everything else. Then, once they earn money, they have to pay a shit ton of taxes on it. I mean Elon Musk. You see what his tax bill was the largest tax bill ever. Ever, single, one single person paying a largest tag $10 billion. That ain't no joke. The United States should not be taking 10 billion from Elon Musk. In fact, the United States should be paying Elon Musk $5 billion. In my opinion, he's doing more for this country at this point than anybody.

Speaker 2: 1:25:42

Until Elon Musk came on the scene, we were behind everybody in technology again. You know what I'm saying. You need a guy like that. That guy is a mad scientist. You know what I mean as far as getting us back on track, but anyways, at any rate we got to get down there. I got to get that place ready for the party that's going to happen For the championship game. Alright, we're out. It was nice talking to everybody.
