Where Grills, Guitars, and Freedom Grow

0:00 Well, hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Space Tomatoes podcast. i'm one of your hosts havoc and alex hey how you doing now you know welcome back you know us already all 39 of you we know you know us so uh what'd you get up to today today um a lot nothing cooked on the grill i had a steak today was steak day oh i like steak day steak day is one of my favorite days it can be every day i mean why not right which makes every day better it actually turned out pretty good today yeah i'm improving my technique my wife was very happy with it very cool yeah yeah once you get it's just about getting used to it i mean you could cook on any grill right yeah but you can't necessarily walk up to any grill and turn out per you know great food not necessarily until you've practice on a bunch of different grills and then you kind of just like you'll get a feel for it

1:31 but yeah once you learn that sucker man you'll just be turning out consistent amazing yummy stuff every time i'm getting to learn it it has its uh little uh idiosyncrasies to it it's it's old it's old and uh i actually found found it on our walk it was in the somebody put a sign on there free they were moving we were looking for a grill and there was a grill like hey how can you go wrong interesting and it worked i cleaned it up you know get all their funk off of it replaced the uh this one uses little lava rocks versus the uh like the heat shield things but yeah that's works good that's an old technique for grills i remember those i'm thinking this thing is probably from the 60s or 70s they still like parts for it though yeah yeah yeah yeah we had a what was it i think it was the hibachi or no maybe it wasn't the hibachi we had a grill oh no it wasn't the hibachi it was also a gas grill we had the same thing it had uh the burners under it but then there was a like a tray with just a single layer of lava rocks on it you look ceramic stones yeah everyone every once in a while you have to replace the lava rocks too because they stop holding heat i guess after being heated up and cooled down so much yeah i don't know i don't know if it's that or they just get junked up or don't know what it is but yeah

3:02 Hey, man, free. Free is the best cost for anything. Yeah. We put a new layer of, well, they call them lava rocks. They're like little pyramids. They're white ceramic stones. But the ones that were on it were kind of getting crumbly from just age, I guess, and use. So that was like $20. And we put a new hose on it that attaches to the propane tank. So it had the old-style hose, like the one with the threaded fittings, that like the reverse threaded ones that go inside the tank, they don't make them like that anymore. Well, you know. Yeah. You got a new regulator too, right?

3:44 Yeah. Like the whole, yeah. So I had to get a fitting for it. What's that? You kind of need one of those maybe? Yeah, you kind of need one of those. I mean, turns out I was talking to my neighbor and I'm like, hey, yeah, we got this grill, you know. I just need to get a new regulator hose and a layer of lava rock. He's like, hey, hold on a minute here. And he goes in his shed. This guy's got like everything, right? I don't know where he comes up with all this stuff. He's like, I just got a brand new hose right here. What? It's like the only thing that isn't in your garage. Right? Right? So, yeah, I mean, that was a blessing too. all we had to buy was a thing of lava rocks and a fitting to put the hose on there so like 20 25 bucks we were headed to have a nice grill so i that's pretty awesome that's just really awesome honestly because i know you were looking at a grill we have a grill we're willing to give you but transfer transporting it from here to there is the big problem but yeah you can't just put it in a box and send it priority mail you can but I mean, that's going to cost you as much as, well, it won't cost as much as this grill, but it would cost as much as a new grill for sure just to ship it.

5:01 So it's ridiculous. But at one point it's going to end up in your possession. Dude, postage is expensive, man. It is. You think if I just put a stamp on it, they'll take it? Maybe. Like one of the forever stamps? it says right here it doesn't matter what you uh you know increase you know what would happen i would get a yeah postage do notice on this end would you really yeah no so i've seen um these people that buy stuff from like timu and my wife tells me it's sort of like timu it's shine i've never heard of it s-h-e-i-n it's another site that sells like you know chinese garbage i guess garbage but what they're doing is uh the sellers are pocketing the postage and then the person on the other end is getting a bill for you know like eight ten twelve bucks for the postage due on the on the crap that they get in you know in an envelope delivery refused that that's what most people choose to do because the stuff in the envelope is worth less than the postage do on yeah but this thing for eight dollars is really cool six weeks later it shows up with a bill attached to it for 12 i'd be like um yeah no yeah i'm not interested buying that junk just stop buying that junk not you i know you don't but just just people stop really stop it's garbage it's literal trash it is you might might roll the dice

6:36 maybe one in a billion times get something worthwhile everything else is just literal garbage trash this isn't from like the good factories in china this is the stuff that comes from the places where they make the little trinkets in chinatown shops that you pay a quarter for okay it's trash whatever you do i could tell you this with all honesty do not buy any any auto parts off of any of those sites or or amazon or ebay i wouldn't even like i mean unless you know exactly who it's coming from i mean they're like you can buy some stuff out there like i mean legitimate people do sell it on there but i i wouldn't personally take the chance because they're there's so much counterfeit garbage on there like you don't want to put suspension parts on you like steering is kind of important you know to save you know 50 bucks i wouldn't buy those parts from there oh yeah well they were selling like a uh what's his name uh a youtuber uh grand thumb okay he does you know firearms and such and they i think it was him it might have been the guy in texas uh what's his name again demolition ranch okay i think with demolition ranch either one both great channels if you if you're into that sort of thing you know demolition ranch i think is arguably a bit more fun and silly.

8:06 Garan Thumb's a little bit more serious, but also fun and silly. But they did a test. No, it was Demo Ranch that did it. Demolition Ranch did this. And they did the Timu test, Timu body armor test. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. Like stuff that's supposed to be like, you know, level three soft armor, which should handle up to like a, I think a 44 Magnum. uh 22 rounds were going through it you know they did tests with like tactical helmets and they're like basically a football helmet with some extra styrofoam in there through and through straight through not even a stop like on a nine millimeter it's just like okay don't don't buy their stuff just don't do it it's garbage even if it's something you you really think you you need or you know and you can't afford it wait wait save up get the stuff that's going to last because you're going to get it and it's just going to it's going to deteriorate on you it's going to fall apart and it is useless garbage and sorry now if you're buying you know trinkets or something for display okay fine you know plastic is plastic right um but i would even in that case i would make sure you keep it well away from any kind of window or sunlight because that sucker's gonna fade baby fade i'd worry about what the stuff's even made out of because i'm sure that their safety protocols are are not up to the highest standard it only catches on fire

9:40 if it happens to be too hot or too cold or maybe it touches sunlight or you breathe so it's fine it's totally safe yeah i don't know about the uh the body armor but i know in the in the car parts arena like i mean the stuff looks the part like you could put the two like right next to each other and you're like oh that that lower control arm looks exactly like that one why is that one 250 and i can get this one for 50 bucks but right there if if like you know you you're looking at like 15 of them and they're all in the 200 to $300 range.

10:20 And then all of a sudden there's like one's 50. Come on. You're not a moron, right? Yeah. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this one out. Like you're not, everyone's selling it for, you know, this price. So, you know, yeah, maybe like a 201 cost is, is better, but nobody's going to sell it for a massive loss. They're just not going to. So it's garbage. I mean, there's a market for it. Some people are buying it or these places would not exist. I mean, the same reasons people can buy, well, they call them a Chibson, which is a Chinese Gibson guitar. So a regular Gibson guitar is like, you know, $2,500 to $5,000, something like that.

11:03 But you can get one of these knockoff ones. It looks the part. I mean, you know, hang it on the wall. It looks like, you know, for $200, you can get it from China and order it however you want to get it. It even has the name tag and everything on it. Or maybe like a Les Pong. I mean, it looks good from 10 feet away. I wouldn't know the difference. I'm not that into it, but I'm sure there's people that can spot that stuff. So, again, we've talked about this, right? And, again, if you're beginning and you're playing and stuff, this may not even hit your ears, right? And you may not be musically inclined. If you want to play guitar, some people, their ear just isn't able to catch correct pitch.

11:48 Just can't. Okay. It's not your fault. You're not broken or anything. It's just, it's something some people have and others just don't. But if you do have the ability to detect pitch, right, and you are playing guitar, just get a cheap ass guitar, right? Like we said before, right? fine inexpensive not cheap like like an epiphone and there's nothing wrong with an epiphone whatsoever they make perfectly good instruments they're actually really good they're just you know they're they're not a gibson that's they're well or a fender right and you know fender has some pretty nice budget lines right like 250 350 for even the squires aren't bad now right yeah yeah so i mean you've got a lot of choices right you're right not cheap inexpensive big difference not Timo, guitar center.

12:43 Okay. But the interesting thing is, is like we were talking about it and you're like, well, I don't even know. I was just watching something the other day with I want to say it was Jimmy Page and he was going through like well here my stratocaster and then you know he played on another one and it they just both guitars he was using the same effects the same everything but the sound completely different right i mean like just night and day you know what i mean and uh so yeah i mean i i think there is there is some truth to that you don't need to worry about that as a beginner and go get if you want to do electric go get yourself an inexpensive beginner electric you can always upgrade it right you can you can change the hardware on them and make it a you know you can take a 250 dollar guitar and over time turn it into a five thousand dollar guitar well maybe not three thousand i saw a video they actually did that they i mean it's it's definitely not financially worth it but i mean somebody did it just to see if they could well my my first base i did that with because i couldn't afford all the stuff so i i bought pieces that i could and then i replaced you know my knobs i replaced my bridge i replaced my pickups you know and and the nut even right i had to have the nut redone i

14:15 didn't have to but it was it was squirrely it left a uh a buzzing twang on my on my e which was not desirable right so i had to have a new nut carved right because they they're i guess are they ivory no they're usually bone or they have like synthetic uh synthetic bone there's a company tusk that makes it yeah this one was bone right um but yeah so i had to have that and they actually you know took my base and they custom it's just a little like rectangular piece of white material very very hard excessively hard right and at first i got one and they're like you sure you want to do this i'm like yeah and they're like okay well here's what you want to do and so i tried to file this thing down and get it no no no there's there's you need to know what done but i had that done and and once i had replaced all that stuff this this you know little cheap bass turned into something that sounded really nice now would it have been better to just spend the 800 on a on a you know kind of next level bass probably but i didn't have 800 i had you know a couple hundred here a couple hundred there a hundred here you know 50 there right and And so it was one of those scenarios.

15:42 And I was also very young at the time. So, you know, I didn't have the ability to really save because events kept coming up in my life. When you're young, I guess events just happen. Or maybe it was me. I don't know. Whatever. Probably you. Right. It probably was. Yeah. Well. I was thinking even better than Guitar Center. Sweetwater. They did you pretty good. they've done me pretty good. I, I absolutely will recommend sweet water to everyone. I mean, literally, um, that's interested in this sort of thing, right? Uh, sound, music, um, vocals, anything to do with that type of stuff, studio, you know, recording, um, they're amazing.

16:30 And they have engineers that will literally walk you through stuff and they'll even tell you, Oh, Hey, look, um, well, Hey, you want to buy that, but hang on a second. and they'll come back and they'll go well we have this bundle you're going to save 50 bucks but you also get these it's like well yeah okay i'll take that you know or they'll say you don't really need that right but this one over here will meet your needs and and you're good right so they not only saved me money but they got me put into the right gear the shipping was great the communication was amazing and then right after that they do a follow-up um email right once you purchase they'll do a follow-up email and they have like an extensive video collection of how to use whatever it is you just bought um and they they also have like write-ups like facts or white papers or whatever you want to call them but even better than that like a two three weeks later i get a call and i'm like hey and they're like hey we just wanted to see how your gear is going do you have any questions what do you think about it i mean literally like personalized follow-through to make sure that the customer is actually happy and and that's a rarity nowadays it really is yeah i was actually surprised like i i didn't have to order that much stuff i kind of just ordered you know a few little small things but it was delivered great but when you were telling me about your experience and they actually talked you out of spending more money on more expensive stuff like that was not my experience at guitar center when i went there to buy i bought my microphone on my mixer there

18:02 when i started you know doing the podcast a long time ago and like dude they they were all about upgrading me to more more expensive stuff because i assume they work on commission so yeah that would be so does sweet water but so um here's here's the thing right in a lot of people don't understand this nowadays and they really should and it used to be well understood and it should be again. You can, you can sell, you know, if you've got two sellers, right. And you've got the same product that you're selling. One of the key differentiators that you can bring to the table is customer service. If you make your customer feel like you are their advocate, you will champion for them and you will do the right thing by them. Guess what's going to happen next time they need a thing they are coming to you when someone reaches out to them hey man i'm trying to do this i'm trying to you're always going to recommend them right and sweet water is the epitome of that i i cannot say enough about them plus they give you a little bag of candy which i don't eat so it goes in the trash but um they give you a little bag of candy and a sweet water sticker or two it's just it's those little things and it's just like hey you know that's it doesn't cost them much to do that i imagine it probably costs them about three cents to do that with the sticker and the candy but it's that little bit of extra attention that makes you feel like wow

19:36 these guys actually care about it right um the when i had problems i called called up my my sales person at sweetwater and they were like oh hey yeah so do this and you know blah blah blah and They walked me through something and it was just easy for them. Right. They're not charging me for that. They're not doing anything, but they've gained a customer for life. Honestly, that's, that's all I can say about that. Yeah, no, it was a pleasant experience all the way through for me. So I have no complaints at all. Yeah. So I had an interesting experience this morning. Oh, what's that? Well, so I almost woke up.

20:18 Well, not really woke up, but started my day off angry. Very. Out of the ordinary. Or is that normal? Um, no, I don't get up angry. I really don't, but you know, it doesn't take much. So it doesn't take long. Usually. I don't know what you're talking about whatsoever. I cannot relate. In the very least. Right. So, um, you know, when you're in that state where you're, you're, I guess you're waking up, right? Your body is waking you up because I always wake up before my alarm. Well, not always. There are rare events, but most of the time I wake up well before my alarm.

21:04 Anyway, I'm in that area, right? I can kind of perceive the world around me, but I'm still asleep kind of, right? And I think I hear my wife's dog trying to get her attention. okay but it's not really there right i'm not awake so it's not like oh i i know this is going on and the next thing you know i hear this my rottweiler sleeps on my side of the bed my wife's belgian shepherd sleeps on her side of the bed right apparently the belgian shepherd had been trying to wake my wife up and hey i need to go outside now i didn't know that at this time ruttler while they're standing there and she's she's got her tail we don't dock them and uh so she's sitting there and she makes this at me and the tail is going against this treadmill and i'm like oh my gosh really okay fine so i i I sit up, I start putting my pants on, grab my shirt.

22:17 I'm putting my shirt on and the Rottweiler walks over to her bed, curls up and lays down, goes right back to sleep. And I'm like, you're, you're effing kidding me, right? You cannot possibly, no way. And then I look over and there's Keely, my wife's dog going, you know, and I'm like, oh, crud. My dog literally woke me up so that I could get up to take the other dog outside. And I was like, wow, that is really cool. Nice. Our cat's going to do that. What's that? Our cat's going to do that sometimes. Really? Yeah. To go up. It's mostly like feed me.

22:59 Oh, yeah, food. Four in the morning. Yeah. Yeah. and then you go put food in their bowl and they just go walk somewhere else and fall asleep and you're like yeah pretty much cats they i like cats a lot when they're outside perfect place for them we've been doing this thing uh my wife found this uh i don't know facebook probably or something cutting out these uh we drew the lizards on cardboard boxes like like on an amazon box and they cut it out and you just like slap it on the wall somewhere oh they love it man it's like and it's free they just but now is the problem like i played it too much with them one day we've only done it a couple times now they're like they're like looking around like like they're getting all weird about it like looking for stuff that ain't there and they're like hey it's supposed to be right here and i'm like hey put it up there because you stick it on the wall and they jump up and catch it like knock it off and they just have a ball with it and they bat it around the floor that is pretty cool actually the stuff you buy and then you know they play for whether set for play play with it for a second and then they don't want to touch it they're more interested in the box of the game and yeah yeah uh bowski our our cat's name is jeff lebowski um the big lebowski and one toy that's worked with him is is one of those tunnel toys right it's like a you know the

24:33 the car shades it's like that kind of a wire that goes around there's a little tube it's about you know yay big around and in the center of it it's got three tubes that go out and in the center the hole's cut in the top and it's got like a hanging little jingle ball in there and something else and he loves that tunnel, loves to go in there and mess around and the Rottweiler now plays with him. So she'll come over and she'll start sticking her nose in that center thing and then he'll go at it. It's pretty funny. Yeah, it is. It's very funny. But yeah, in general, he likes the boxes more than the toys.

25:14 They love, they just like sit in there like they're driving a spaceship or something. I don't know what they're thinking. They just hang out in there And then, then like they'll have one that they don't want it too small. They want to be able to sit in it, but they want it like kind of cramped. Like the ones that fit them and they're like spilling over the side a little bit. That's the perfect one for them. But then, you know, like the other one will want it and they'll, I don't know, just have the blue smack the other one. It's kind of funny to watch. That's, that's the best part. I mean, you know, if you got, if you got to have at least, if you have two cats and they don't like mess with each other like that, That's just a bummer. Now you just have two cats.

25:55 It funny because the little one is spicier Like she thinks she the boss and then it all fun and games until the bigger one decides she had enough of that crap and goes after her and she running for the hills just trying to get away because she's got a couple pounds on her yeah it's like the the belgian shepherd bosses the rottweiler around let's be honest that's because the rottweiler tolerates this right they used to be the same with ours too with the male and the female they had two shepherds but one was you know like 120 and the other one was like 80 the female thought she was the boss but you know yeah because he let her yes exactly I will tolerate this that's literally what goes on it's pretty funny I miss him I do too yeah i have my own set of ones that i miss and you know yeah i was just looking at some pictures earlier today and it always brings back those memories but you know the the thing about it is it brings back those happy memories right i get to relive little moments in time and go i remember that that was so awesome that's true but it's also hard it's also hard it is hard yeah we were just talking about that tonight while we were making dinner I don't know why

27:27 they don't live longer they should yeah it's probably something you know in my eyes it's yeah I don't know I like to think that it's part of that is teaching us how to be because after the first time that happens the next pet you have is is a conscious decision with full knowledge of exactly what's coming that's the worst part in it it is but it also gives you the mindset in my eyes to make sure that that short period of time is made as amazing as possible yeah and you know that's that's a that's a good mindset to have you know it's it's a it's a reminder that things are not permanent there is no permanent right it's it's temporary and it's fleeting and it's amazing and sometimes not but it is amazing and so you know that's kind of a a little lesson in life enjoy this because it won't last gee now you're making me think like one day we will not be doing this this will be over two i actually uh just got news not not too long ago just before this uh a friend of mine from uh high school uh just passed away this morning

28:57 yeah i mean he you know going through some stuff and uh you know he lost his wife and uh he just you know he wasn't trying to unalive himself but he was not trying to continue life either so he just didn't want to eat he didn't want to be he put him in the hospital and he signed a DNR and just wouldn't eat or do anything wow that's tough yeah it's pretty heartbreaking it's uh you know I guess we really don't know unless we're in that position ourselves dealing with something like that yeah I mean yeah I can only imagine if I was in that position I might act the same way yeah I you know that's that's part of it for me is is thinking about that portion of it as well right you know it's not only the fact that this is someone that was basically same age as me that i i spent a good amount of years you know with uh through high school and then you know years after high school um it was always a a great person you know and uh you know yeah when he's leaving behind you know

30:28 a daughter too you know yeah i i just that's i get it i get it i think but i also don't you know i just don't his poor daughter is going to be going through this too after just having lost her mother yeah uh sorry let's let's move on from this top sorry sorry folks this is real real real shit okay yeah two real human beings talking to you about their lives and and what's what's up and that's a pretty real one for me and it's it's hitting me hard you know um it's sad it's sad you know very sad yeah yeah so anyway how about them puppies the puppy guys get me we always default to the puppies we can default to puppies yeah i don't know i haven't heard anything more um hoping by the end of the year we find out something if not i mean i i'm kind of like just rolling with it i don't want to force something to happen i'm i'm a firm believer in things happen for a reason and i just you know i i don't want to force something that's not a right fit yeah but i mean you did tell them hey we want this litter here's what we're looking for yeah so we're we're on that for that you know like i mean if anything it gets us another trip up to see you guys yay all right best day ever so uh my wife and i found this place like so like

32:07 our health insurance like we had this this money on this card right like for stuff and we didn't know what to do with it. We found this holistic health place. They do massages. We can use the benefit for there. It's almost the end of the year, so we've got to start going pretty fast, but they have a salt therapy room. Have you ever heard anything like that? Yeah. We're scheduled the next week to go up there and try it, see how it goes. I don't know. It might not be something that I would do otherwise but i mean hey you know they're gonna cover it and whatever but i'll give it a shot that sounds awesome man i think you're gonna enjoy it like i was telling you i mean you you you've never actually done like a professional massage or anything like that i think i had one one time i i don't i don't know you would know you would absolutely know yeah maybe i don't know that's not a yeah maybe thing that's you walk out of that going wow i've never felt this good i think it was at the chiropractor's office i don't know yeah that's not the same thing they do a good job don't get me wrong yeah they do a good job don't get me wrong but their whole their whole idea is just to loosen you up enough for the session all right these guys their whole goal guys gals people whatever animals maybe they have goats no they get they get a they

33:37 give us a brochure they get a men and women massage masseuse i don't know what do you call massage therapist massage therapist they yeah they don't have goats no there's any goats on there let's jump on your back and trumple around a little bit the hosts get a little sharp after a while yeah they do actually you know who's really good at it though the cat the cat the cat loves to get on top of my wife i mean you know my wife's like oh my kidney my liver oh my goodness yeah i think you're gonna you're gonna think it's amazing i'm almost positive i I love it.

34:23 There's nothing like it. You go in and, you know, I think the first time I was a little nervous, a little apprehensive, a little bit of anxiety about, you know, this whole process. Like, eh, this is weird. Five minutes in, I'm like, this is so good. Can you do more of that? They just, they just, it, it's amazing. It really is. And it's stress relief, relaxation at a level that is pretty hard to come by outside of that setting. It really is. Do you get sore afterward?

35:04 That depends. So if you go in there and you're doing deep tissue, then yes, you will be sore afterwards. And it'll probably be two days or so of soreness. Is it worth it? Yeah. If you've got some stuff that needs to be worked out, the deep tissue tissue people are usually far more knowledgeable than the, just the relaxation massage about muscle groupings and things like that. And they can really get in there and work those muscle groups and relax them. Right. Like I've gone when I had back spasms and I'll tell you all the meds in the world did crap all but a massage from a very, very knowledgeable deep tissue massage person.

35:50 Two days later, I was fine. Really? Yeah. That's a big deal. If you've ever had back spasms, they're, they're not good. I couldn't, I couldn't move when I, I literally walked out of the place afterwards going, wow. and then the soreness comes in and she was really gentle with those areas uh but still they've got to be worked right you've got to stop what it typically is a spasm is it's the smaller muscle groups the stabilizer muscles that start fighting with each other one of them gets irritated and inflamed and wants to pull or you know like contract and then the other ones are fighting to get that you know thing back where it's supposed to be and it causes this muscle spasm that's the way it was described to me i am not an expert i'm not a doctor don't freaking listen to me for anything well maybe listen to me for this because hey i'm here but what i say on here listen to it but don't take my advice as like you know you've just been given professional advice from some like someone that knows what the hell they're doing i have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things and a very little bit of knowledge about, I should say a very little bit of knowledge about a lot of things and a lot of knowledge about very little things.

37:12 Sometimes that can be dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, I think you're going to really enjoy it. And that's a great place. It's a great way to spend your money too, because I'm telling you, you're going to, you'll get like a week of stress relief from one massage okay i'm thinking helps out with my hand my hand is really bothering me i got i got a really bad trigger finger i mean it's been that way for years but it's getting getting worse and it hurts yeah i'll wake up and it'll be it'll be like locked it's this one right here my middle finger like i can't even open a trigger finger what is it Oh, is it called trigger finger?

37:52 Yeah. Oh, okay. It's called trigger finger. Okay. They might be able to. I don't know. I know nothing about that, honestly. I know there's a surgery for it, too. I just didn't really want to get that at all. Here's my opinion on surgery. If you're not leaking or the long, hard parts are not, like, crumbled somewhere or not long and hard anymore, and now they're in two pieces, surgery is great otherwise um you know i i don't know i i it's a hit or miss some of them can work miracles for people but i've known so many people that have especially back surgery i i would i i would personally say you need to exhaust every single possible option in the entire universe before you even think about back surgery right every single person i know that's had it they all said they're worse now than they were before the surgery.

38:56 That's not good. I mean my wife said back surgery She was she was pretty bad off as the she went in there that why she did it is she better um relatively speaking i mean yeah dude she was like uh i was rolling around in a wheelchair she couldn't even walk so i'd say yes okay and then there you go now i i'm proven wrong because i do know someone who it's actually helped with i mean does that mean it's perfect now absolutely not but on the flip side i know a number of people that have had nerve ablation and it's worked amazing for that did that too yeah yeah i i know a number of people one of them's a pipe welder a commercial pipe welder so he's you know in these commercial buildings in very tight not friendly for for a back that's good space and his isn't he went and had that he says now I can work like I'm 20 years old again, man.

39:55 Really? Yeah, that's saying something, because he's not. Yeah, it's not a comfortable process to go through, apparently. Yeah. Yeah, I've been told it does help. I mean, if it's that bad, you know, basically what you're doing is just killing the signal that transmits the pain. But it's not a one-time shot deal either. You got to do it multiple times, then you have to continue to do it forever. Like it lasts for a while, but not here or something. Yeah. He said his is annual. So he probably made a lot of good strides in it. He said for him, he only had to go twice. And then from now on, it's just once a year.

40:37 Oh, wow. Okay. Which he said, look, if that's what, if that's what it takes, he goes, that's I'm fine. Cause you know, once they're done, I'm, I'm in good shape. You know? Yeah. I mean, it pains a motherfucker. Yeah. For those that don't know, like they, the one that I know about is that they use like, I don't know, some kind of x-rays or some, some kind of imaging to guide as they put a needle into your, into your back. And then they essentially electrify the nerve endings and cauterize them. So they don't create a signal anymore.

41:17 Yeah. Yeah, they basically, I think they still use the term burning them out. Yeah. Which is essentially what they're doing. Now, the neat thing about the human body is, you know, you can do stuff like that to it, and it goes, screw you, I'm going to grow back. The bummer is you have to go back because your body is so good at healing itself that it goes, nope, I'm going to go back. I would definitely be sure to use somebody that knows what they're doing. You don't want anybody poking around in there that's learning how to do it, I guess. yeah yeah this is not the place to go for the 199 you know super extra speedy clinic you know like don't get this off timu yeah i wonder if those timu people are the same ones like remember when they had like um lasik specials like you can get both both eyes for like 199 bucks or like that's exactly get one free or something that's the same people that are buying crap off team yeah like oh let me go ahead and let you put a laser to my eyes for right like you know one-tenth of the cost that everyone else charges for one night yeah i don't know that other guy wanted five thousand dollars i can get it done for 299 buy one get one free earl shop 99.95 oh don't even get me started on automotive paint don't even get me going down that road we've been we've been sailing that that sea of uh nonsense for a little while but i've been looking into getting the car painted man that's expensive holy crap and like yeah and and you don't want the team who um

42:52 i can say my personal experience with uh mako my father-in-law got his truck repainted at mako and it looked worse within like about a year than it did when he started. So that is not the path that I want to take. Yeah. And it's so funny too because I remember the Earl Scheib commercials from like, what was it, the late 70s or something? Yeah. Earl Scheib, 99, 95. Right. You're like, wow, 100 bucks to paint a car. Dude, that's like nothing. I mean, paint is super expensive. Like, I understand that part of it.

43:33 You know, labor is expensive, too. It's just, I mean, to get a decent paint job, you're looking, I mean, several thousand dollars. And I don't know that it's worth it for a car of that age. You know, I mean, you can't let the bare metal come out. That's the problem, right? As soon as the bare metal comes out, then you're worried. No, that's not the problem. The problem in Florida here that the clear coat just gets sunburned and starts chipping off and kind of flaking away. Yeah, I would think, you know, what you could probably do is you might be able to polish all that out, polish off the clear coat that's flaking, and then take it and just get a good clear coat done, which should last another five, ten years.

44:17 Yeah. And then you don't have to worry about a paint. And the clear coat should just be, you know, pretty simple. i can't imagine like a high-end clear coat i think like when you get a dealership car if you want the clear coat it costs like you know a thousand bucks and it's a high-end clear coat so i would think you could get a clear coat for pretty cheap because you're not color matching you're not you know a lot of the process that goes into that is not you know there right you don't have to have i don't think i think it's a one coat uh application as well otherwise it gets kind of a weird uh like uh they were explaining it to me at one point and i was i was asking a paint person about this and like if you've ever seen something with like too much lacquer on it and you get this weird view it doesn't look right it looks like you're looking at something under a glass right does that make sense as opposed to just the paint it's like it looks like there's a layer of stuff over the top of it and it looks weird apparently it'll also chip really see that way all right yeah i don't know again i'm not an expert but i do know that those guys i mean not only is the paint expensive right and it's all got metal in it and you know all kinds of stuff and the color is very specific and all that uh the paint has to be i believe used within a pretty short window too it's not like it can just sit there like you know household paint two years

45:47 later no it's it's several parts that you have to mix together to yep and the cattle catalyst and then it start taking off and you only get so long to use it yep and then it also has to be an extremely clean room like the room has to be a clean room right and then there's also like you know what probably about 40 to 80 000 watts of lights uv lights in there to to to set the paint right or the coat or whatever um and then also all that plastic paneling has to come off and that is a nightmare because those little they're all press-ins right they're all these little like you know um they're almost like the if you've ever used a drywall anchor and then pulled one out right same thing you're never going to use it again so it's useless so they got to get all that off they got to you know sand it down make sure it's clean um you know it's a lot of work man this is just a ton of labor the actual painting process itself it's pretty quick no paint is easy it's all the prep to get you to that point i had a friend that used to restore old Porsches I can't remember the model what are they the the nine I don't know 914 or something the little it's like a Volkswagen motor a little two-seater very low to the ground convertible but it sounded like a Volkswagen engine like the 911 those maybe it was the 911 almost almost like

47:20 a Carmen Ghia but more square you know what I mean like that kind of a profile car anyway he He would take those and put V8s in them and turn them into just little go-kart rockets, dude. Insane. But part of that is he would strip everything out, right? Strip all the paneling and everything, sand it all down, and then paint them, right? And it was funny. It would take him like two weeks to prep a car and like an hour for the coat of paint. Right. And then he'd come back the next day, another hour. Next day, another hour. next day hour for clear coat and then he's spending the next two weeks putting it back together or more you know what i always wanted you're probably gonna make fun of me my wife makes fun of me but i still want one a miata with a v8 in it she's like it's that's stupid that's a girl's car not with a v8 in it it's not then it's a rocket i i think you've got a fundamental problem there right so the one thing the porsche did have was sizable tires the miata no sizable tires small tires maybe i don't know lots of smoke very bad roi on your tires you know what i didn't actually realize because the neighbor has one a dodge viper they're a lot smaller than you think they are that the miata and the viper are actually

48:55 very similar in size except the viper has like tires this wide the viper's bigger it is bigger a little bit not much it's pretty small it's a little wider and it's a little bit longer it's also set up completely different oh it's a death trap of it is over the rear wheels basically and then you've got a v12 in front of you v10 or v10 sorry you're right i'm sorry i thought it was a v12 you're right it's a complete death trap though there's no safety anything on that car no no abs no airbags no nothing and your point his is actually the first year that has air conditioning they didn't have that either for i think in florida you kind of need that but yeah well neither did uh you know my my buddy's 19 1967 mustang or my other buddy's 69 camaro there was no ac in that thing you had fan and you had heater and heater we had those side windows right heater was fan with engine block it's true it's honestly true but i i would love one of those i would love a 67 or a 69 camaro i really would i love those cars or even a 70 and a half split bumper lt1 that would be nice there you go if i think i'm just at that point in my life i'm just

50:25 thousand dollars you know that those things are like half a million dollars or more that's crazy we used to pick them up for like three grand and then you know redo them for another three grand they weren't nice or anything but still you know it's half a million dollars man even 90s cars are starting to go up in value now like uh i rock camaros and five liter mustangs and stuff they're they're commanding a premium i saw one the other day it was a low mile uh mustang it was like 75 grand or something i'm like that car brand new was like maybe 14 oh yeah yeah i wonder how much my uh old cobra would be worth now i don't think it's old enough yet a couple more years 98 a couple more years they're not they're not quite to that generation 30 30 years i guess but i mean keep in mind it was it was number now i don't remember i think it was 2 599 out of 5 000 cars produced that year that's the thing about those there's not they're not like you know not every dealer has them you you can't buy them unless the dealer is svt certified right right um and so not a lot of dealers have them and uh there's only 5 000 of them made per year Period.

51:53 That's it. And it's stamped on the engine block. It'll tell you where it was made. It's signed. It's, it's a plaque on the inside of it. That's cool. If you, if you never had a Cobra, you You probably didn't know that. Now you do. Mustang Cobra, that is. This is not a Shelby Cobra. Man, those things are stupid money. Well, and for good reason. You want to talk about a rocket. Like what, two, three million bucks for one of them things? For an original one? Like a 427 one? Probably more than that. I don't know. Yeah, I would imagine it's more because I think they were two, three million dollars in like the 90s. Yeah. Maybe 2000s.

52:33 Craziness. It's a piece of history that is amazing. But then, you know, like I had a friend of mine, John, that had an old GT40. Oh, wow. Like not the new GTs, which that right there, if I had just endless amounts of money, that's one splurge purchase that I would do. The rest of it would be land, livestock, and fencing gates and a moat with crocodiles and alligators and snapping turtles. And then maybe like a land moat about 50 yards wide, right?

53:15 With like 30 foot high fences on both sides. And inside that I could just put like, I don't know, 50 tigers. I'm just going to put tigers in there. Is that to keep people out or to keep you in? Is there a difference? I'm protecting the public. Yes. That is yes. It's a yes. And a drawbridge. Yeah, that goes up on the other side. They would just increase your property taxes on all that stuff. Good luck. good luck oh i know you love the government hey did you see that thing uh i guess the british prime minister said that they're going to mandatory digital ids over there yeah they are yeah and if you don't have one you can't work yep they're they're framing it as you know to keep the immigration you know thing in check which is ridiculous because just like us they already have a right to work, not right to work. Uh, you know, you have to prove that you are, you know, uh, legal or whatever to work. And so already in interviews, he's gotten like just stymied big time because he'll go on there and they're like, well, but it's not going to do that. Is it? And he's like, well, of course it will, because now they have to have this to show that they can work.

54:44 And they're like, well, the people hiring these people, you already have to do that in the UK and the people hiring these people aren't doing that so what makes you think they're just gonna magically stop well uh you know but this is just to keep us safe and you know immigration and look folks i'm just gonna tell you right now do not buy into digital id or any kind of digitalized currency that is run by a central bank period end full stop don't do it you are literally literally walking into the cage closing it locking the door yourself and throwing the key away okay that's what that is and it's all about control and in the uk's case look you've seen the whole thing with the ulez cameras and people they call them blade runners cutting those cameras down and destroying those cameras because screw you you know you're you're a public entity i'm a private person private individual uh we should know everything about you and you should know fuck all about all of us period done end of discussion um and so you've got those and you got the 15 minute size cities, which was the ultimate ultra low emissions zone or something.

56:09 Like if you go out of this, just imagine if your currency is tied to your identity, which is digital and your currency is a digital and they have this in place and you're just like, yeah, you know what? I do want to go and, you know, see my aunt who lives, you know, an hour away because whatever, I don't even care. Why should you have to give a reason? Honestly, you're, you're, you're, my assumption is we are all free individuals, right? And the next thing you know, they just go, well, you know, since you don't follow the rules, what we're going to go ahead and do is we're going to go ahead and limit your ability to purchase certain things.

56:53 And the less you follow the rules, the less you'll be able to buy or spend your money on. Now that's one. And here's another one. and you can go look this up. This has been stated. They want to do this. And by they, I mean, the majority of governments and central banks want to do this. And they've even told you this. You just didn't listen to them. They want programmable money. And you think, oh, well, that's going to keep me secure and safe and free and blah, blah, blah. No, what this means, here's one of the plans that they have. Okay. And they've already told you. So it's just a matter of time might be, you know, a month, it might be a year. It might be a decade. It might be two decades, but it will happen. It's coming. Okay. And the only thing that will stop it is you saying no, all of us in mass saying, no, we will not do this. We will not comply. They want to make money expire. If you don't spend it within a certain amount of time, it's gone. Poof. Bye. There's no saving there's no more any of that stuff it's just gone now i don't know about you but you can go ahead and yourself with the like that because no no so what are you doing they make it mandatory like i mean you have your choice

58:31 you can go live in the woods in a cardboard box i guess i mean is that your option if you can't work you can't spend your money how are you going to enforce it i have no idea well there you go that's that's the first question how are you going to make it mandatory i mean they're doing those mandatory gun buyback thing so they're paying people to buy their guns in canada i don't know what province or where the whole i don't know what it is i didn't look into it but apparently i know i'm sorry it's it's voluntary it's a voluntary buyback but at the end of the year of the voluntary part then they start making it against the law and they start coming for after you so it's not voluntary so how is that voluntary yeah there's nothing fucking voluntary about that right and it's not a gun buyback mother again oh my gosh i i just it's not a gun buyback you're not buying i did my job good today huh you're you're essentially saying i will give you this paltry sum for turning in something that you purchased with your money a tool that you use However, you may use it.

59:44 Maybe it's in a collection. Maybe you hunt, maybe use it for self-defense. Maybe you just like to target shoot. Maybe you just have it. Maybe it was your dad's. I don't know. It was inherited. Maybe it's been hanging on the wall since great grandpa got it. I don't know. But the fact of the matter is they're not buying it back. They are giving you a fraction of whatever it's worth to turn in your weapons voluntarily. Okay. Now here's the thing about those gun buy about programs. They are essentially the exact same thing. What we were just talking about. Do not comply. If nobody comes and voluntarily turns this crap in, there's no way in hell they are coming out to get them all. Not going to freaking happen.

1:00:34 So what they do is they implement these buybacks and they judge, you know, what's kind of where we think the percentage of population with firearms is and how much of that percentage turns it in. And if it's, you know, a good percentage, then yes, we continue forward. If nobody comes or they get like two or three people, they're going to be like, yeah, we have a small problem here. the amount of us compared to the amount of them is going to make this somewhat uncomfortable and tenuous all right so like let's just say um for those of us who would not choose not to comply what we've already done this on a large scale like i would say it was a test about five years ago where they had this voluntary program where if you didn't participate, it could cost you your job or there were other consequences, but yet it was still voluntary.

1:01:39 And I would say a majority of the people gave into that. They did. They did. And it was coercion. No question about it. There's nothing voluntary about, oh yeah, well, it's up to you, but you're going to lose your ability to do anything, make money, transact, go to the store, do, do freaking anything. That's not voluntary. I'm sorry. It's not. That is coercion. That is the exact depth that would look. If you went to go sign a contract with someone and you told him, yeah, but if you don't sign, you're going to lose your job and we're going to make it so you can't leave your home. And we're going to ostracize you from social media and, you know, friends and family.

1:02:25 and we're going to potentially raise your rates when you have to go to the doctor because you just don't comply. You know what? Every contract judge in the freaking world would turn it would be thrown out. Invalid. Why? It was done under duress. And every single person that lost their job during the covid whole thing, every single one of you, every single one of you, you should be contacting lawyers to file class action lawsuits against the federal government, the state governments, the local governments, all the way up and down the chain. Because here's the deal. That was essentially you being put under duress.

1:03:11 Follow these orders, comply, and they're not even lawful. There was nothing legal about them. They were mandates. A mandate is not a law. It's not legislation. It's not legally binding. It's just the wishes of the supposed rulers, right? The powers that should not be. So you look, it's not a law. No, great. The government governor said, you know, you have to do this. Okay. So what, what, what, what section of the law is that? Can you cite the code? oh no you can't because it's not a fucking law so once again and and people need to learn this crap stand up for yourself your rights are yours but you have to know them you have to stand up for them and i will tell you that was a scary ass time because i went through over three weeks of very little sleep panicking stressing over losing my job during that time but i was not complying and i will not comply period you don't get to make decisions for me about my my life you don't it's not up to you but again you were in the minority i think both of us were in the minority in that situation and i mean a lot of people just don't want to fight that battle for whatever reason they just find it easier to comply and i think if we had the the firearm thing or the

1:04:44 digital currency thing i think it's probably going to go the same way it only takes 10 of the population to resist to become an overwhelming force now let me make that very clear the overwhelming force is civil those disobedience without any harm to anyone or anyone property it literally non-compliance okay i mean look what they did to those truckers in canada though yeah i don't advocate violence i don't advocate for anything that harms people or property right Just just don't. Right. But yeah. And the Canadian truckers. Imagine if you had CBDC. Imagine if you had a central bank digital currency. Imagine if you had a digital ID that tied together every single piece of the records keeping jackasses out there and put it all together. And then at the that quick, everything is stripped from you.

1:05:51 hmm you need to understand that this isn't a possibility this is a probability it will happen it's a question of how likely it is to happen to you and how often it will happen to you because it will it's either going to happen to us which i don't know where we're getting kind of older but it's probably going to happen to our the next generation down i would think for sure it's it's what's called predictive programming it's been so look you look at like right now they're talking about using palantir and all this stuff and part of it is for predictive policing and predictive threat analysis this person based on all this information and behavioral information and psychological profile is gonna or likely to commit a crime this minority report at what point do you want to live in a society where you can be arrested because you might have everything seems to point to the fact that you were going to commit a crime did you no but you're guilty and you're going to jail for it yeah i'm sorry but no no we're in what world did you make that okay in your brain how do you sit there and say yeah i'm an american and we're free home of the free land of the brave you know what i'm sorry i'm so freaking tired of hearing that because it's so untrue name one

1:07:23 thing you can do that isn't directly or indirectly taxed and then tell me how fucking free you are home of the brave you fucking bowed down to a fucking shot literally you bent over and took it in the for a shot and you lost your rights you lost i'm sorry you lost your privileges because anything that someone else can give to you and then take away or they can charge you for it it's not a right it's a privilege okay so don't talk to me about this land of the free and home of the brave it's comical our founders literally freaking went to war over a 2% tax on a breakfast beverage find one thing you can do now that isn't taxed and tell me that what do you think they would be thinking right now they would all be looking at us going we gave it all to you and you threw it in the trash for personal frickin' comforts and promises of, you know, the frickin' I don't even know, right?

1:08:38 For peace and security. Safety and security. Wasn't even peace. Nobody's even promised, except the peace president, who so far, I'm sorry, but you're in the trash can on that. I'm sorry, you really are. would we just sell another you know six billion dollars worth of go kill everybody in the gaza strip to the to the really peace president you don't sell people bombs that are actively killing everybody in a location and then say well i'm for peace you're not you were absolutely the antithesis of peace yeah things are quite going the the way that things were promised no and they didn't the first time but a bunch of clowns thought oh well he totally failed on the first time let's give him another shot and this time he's like me and whatever and look i'm not going to say that he hasn't done some good things it won't say that because he has but he's also done things like eliminated the police accountability database which says hey look we're going to hold a database that says if you like James Hampton, who is now currently employed by the Union County Police or Sheriff's Department, he literally caught on camera with other officers. Okay. And they're all in like some area with a garage police compound of some form. And his canine,

1:10:09 his police canine, right, comes out of the vehicle and starts going towards him, right? young young new new recruit right it's a dog but they have made it clear to everyone all of us this is the exact same thing as a sheriff right if you hit if you provoke if you harm this dog it's the exact same thing as doing so to a sheriff right am i right yes that's what they say yeah Yep. You kill one. It's, you know, murder on a sheriff, which is the death penalty. This guy yells and he runs, walks over to the dog, puts on the choke chain and the lead, turns around, grabs it like this, puts it over his shoulder and lifts the dog off the ground by the choke chain around its neck, walks it over to the car and then slams it into the car door and throws it into the car.

1:11:05 And you can hear all this. the other officer is going hey is your camera off no witnesses blah blah blah i've not heard of this yeah he's he's now gainfully employed at the the sheriff's department for my county okay that was what what that fucking database was supposed to prevent if we did that if you did that you'd be in jail for 20 freaking years yeah and here he is employed as a sheriff in another fucking town so thanks donnie appreciate that guy so much for transparency and accountability yeah and that's that's not like a rare story people you you might think it is go look up this you know police the police as one group go look up the free thought project go look up some of the auditors and just realize that these people, they're not the cream of the crop rights protecting, you know, stuff that you're thinking, right?

1:12:08 And by no means am I going to assign them all a bad name. I'm not. There are good officers of the law out there. But the system has made it impossible for them to be the good officer that they should and need to be. You call out a fellow officer. You're on a desk. You're done. You might even get fired. You're just going to get railroaded into the worst possible position. You either toe the line. You're either with us or you're against us. And it's been proven time and time and time and time and time and time and time again. Ad nauseum. Right. that police accountability database was a great step to say hey if you get if this happens you don't get to go to the next town over and get a new job and whoops we just forgot about it now think about a person that would actually do that to a freaking dog their dog think about that a person that would abuse their dog to that level what do you think they're what do you think their behavior is going to be to a suspect do you think they're going to treat them in a you know in a non-escalatory fair reasonable you know kind do you think they're going to try and de-escalate do you think what do you think no they're they're going to be abusive they're already proved they've already proved to a dog to a dog that simply didn't want to sit in the car the door was open

1:13:42 came out to go to its handler or or what we would call its master and that's the response you give to the dog you're a horrible human being james hampton i'm sorry but you are if you do that to a dog you are a horrible human being and you deserve nothing to do with the public especially any position that provides authority over it it's sickening to me it's disgusting and you have authority over people like literally to literally kidnap them put them in a cage and you're that type of a human being vile reprehensible honestly it's so tragic i'm gonna leave the link to that video so all you can go watch it if you want to but i will give you a warning it literally is visible physical abuse of a dog that you will see in this video and this is from an officer of the law okay undeniable oh and guess what because he was cop he was never charged yeah i i've noticed that a lot of these cases when something happens like they might resign and that's like their biggest punishment that's what they go that's what they work somewhere else that's what he did he resigned went to work somewhere else and then now he's here and in my town is up in arms they're holding protests in front of the sheriff's department

1:15:15 i've never heard of it before i i had no idea oh man it's got a lot of people fired up myself including you you cannot be doing that kind of stuff exhibiting that kind of if you beat your what what is it like some 46 percent of officers of the law have domestic disturbance abuse of spouse 46 percent dude wow i'm sorry but you you you were ill-equipped to do your job if that's if that's even a thing that means roughly half of them are ill-equipped to do their job.

1:15:57 I'm sorry. It's a sore subject for me. There are great law enforcement officers out there. There really are. One in particular is an officer. I imagine he's probably retired by now, but it was a gentleman, a deputy sheriff for Orange County Sheriff's in California, and his name was Deputy Duffy, I believe. No, it was Duffy. Excellent gentleman. You, sir, were absolutely cream of the crop in tough situations, situations where you shouldn't have probably even been the way you were. But you were truly cared. Deescalated. Kind, but firm. Right. You had a job to do.

1:16:46 um and the epitome of what i would say uh an officer of the law should be like this guy over here james hampton hampton not so much i'm sorry and and and this isn't you know i'm not i'm not like you know this isn't slander right or liable this is a real actual event that occurred you abused a sheriff on camera multiple other officers cameras were allowed to resign and not be charged which if any citizen had ever done that we would be in prison for a very long time and i'm sorry i think that's vile represent reprehensible and it makes me want to fucking puke that's a pretty common place in any any any governmental position when there's wrongdoing associated with it they get to mostly resign and there's no consequences other than that and they still get their full retirement and pension and the whole nine yards yep yeah it's a it's a travesty it is travesty of justice it's the way our system is set up now and and you know as you can see with the current administration any attempts to change that will be foiled.

1:18:02 Can be having that Can have complete control if we also accountable and transparent I don know that any administration would be any different Like I mean my view on the whole thing is that they just two sides of the same coin I think it would have been just something different, but the same stuff going on. The best thing that's ever come out that describes this accurately and perfectly. Left wing. Right wing. same shit bird that's that's it it's exactly what it is there's literally two things that separate the democrats and the republicans and i'm sorry for both of you but this is the actual reality you guys vote in line on the same stuff with a different bend or a twist in the way you're trying to state it but it's the exact same thing except on two issues and that's guns and abortion And more and more, those things are converging, too.

1:18:59 It's a uniparty. There isn't two parties. There's no election. These people are selected for you. It's a selection. You know, go watch the Jones Plantation, or better yet, tune in on October 4th at 5.30 p.m. Eastern Time, and you may have a chance to win a certificate, one of three, even five, depending on how many people we get to go ahead and download and watch the Jones plantation all for yourself. Nice. And I think that'll give you an eye opening. It's, it's an, it's a full feature film. It's actually well done. Uh, the person that came up with the idea, a gentleman named Larkin Rose, uh, is, is, has been in the community of freedom loving individuals.

1:19:50 He's an anarchist. Um, And, uh, you know, doesn't mean what you think it does. The anarchists don't want to burn stuff down or hurt other people or destroy property. They, they kind of operate on this, right? Do whatever you want. As long as you're not impeding someone else's ability to do whatever they want, uh, and don't harm anyone. Just, just go like you, you want to run naked around your property. Go. You want to do drugs? Okay, go. Go do drugs. You want to grow food? Grow food. You know, you want to shoot guns or whatever you do?

1:20:32 Do that. Nobody cares. Just go do it. You're not harming someone, right? Again, don't harm people and don't impede other people's ability to do what they want to do with their lives. Individual freedom. That's all. whereas this whole idea of uh you know the the parties and the affiliation with the party etc literally the way you can boil this down is i want people with guns to enforce my opinions and will on the p on these other people that's literally what that is isn't it's all it's it i don't like that so i'm gonna make it a law that you can't do that which again is literally enforcing my opinions my will my desire on other people at the point of a gun does that make you a good person does it but how can we all sleep at night knowing that people aren't getting arrested for uh collecting rainwater on their own property and you know other terrible acts like that terrorist there has to be somebody held accountable for things like that right it's it's it's bad you know i mean it really is it it's it's so bad it just is it doesn't need to be like this we don't we we were never supposed to have a nanny we were never even supposed to have a standing army at all we were never supposed to have entangling alliances with foreign nations we're entangled the fuck up with every fucking thing we were we weren't supposed

1:22:05 We are standing army to prevent us from trying to go empire. Guess what? We are in full blown swing of empire. We've got a fricking military base in, in almost every single country in the world, something like 168 countries that we have military bases in. And there's 200 in the world. You tell the ones that don't like us. They don't want us there. Right. Especially those ones. You saw the reason, the recent news, Give us back Bagram Air Base or there'll be hell to be. Dude, seriously, you just told us you were the peace president. We were getting out of the Middle East and now you want to go back in? Well, it's close to China's nuclear creation.

1:22:47 So it is war. I mean, honestly, what the fuck? And you don't send a freaking fleet of naval vessels, Navy SEALs, the Air Force, and all this shit down to the freaking caribbean to the caribbean to tackle drugs it does sound a lot like we're headed towards war i mean from what we are we have no i'm not even that into it but i can you know kind of see where things are headed there well we have no choice honestly if you look at the economy and and you can say trump's doing a great job you could say he's doing a bad job i don't care right but if you look at the economy overall and you look at the debt to gdp right we're fucked at this point i don't believe that there is a way out of this there isn't and the way out of this that we've always done or at least that takes the focus off of this and allows us prosperity for another 20 30 50 years i know where you're going with this one it's a world war you know my my history teacher in the 80s he used to say that you know nothing's better for an economy than a war you know when he's explaining how things went down and it's true and it's true it it does it's not just the economic boost from the you know mic military military industrial complement complex but it's also the psychological part of it right

1:24:18 a big part of a downturn is is psychological right why did why did you know the banks shut down well the last big you know bubble we had because people did runs on the bank why did they do runs on the bank because psychologically they no longer believe that the banks actually could house keep and keep their money safe in and and let me let me let you in on a little secret here they can't they don't have your money they just don't they only have like 10 percent of the entire money that's been deposited that's it so if more than 10 percent of the people come more of more than 10 percent of the fundage is requested to be withdrawn they don't have anything nothing that's your bank careful what you say man you're gonna have people running tomorrow to get there you know draw everything well you know i mean it's it's fractional reserve banking you give them all 39 people are going to be going down there hey you want my money you give them a hundred thousand dollars they take ten thousand put it aside and the other ninety thousand they loan out at interest okay and then they also like to do things like take loans out and they say well we got a hundred thousand dollars we want a million dollar loan we've got the hundred thousand dollars which is the 10%.

1:25:38 So now we have a million dollars we can loan out. Do you honestly think your bank has all the money that every, no, they don't. There is no money to cover. It's impossible. It would never, ever, ever, ever, ever happen. Look it up. Fractional reserve banking. Just look it up. It's a reality. It's how all of our economy works. It's literally how this economy works. We create debt. which then gets paid back by the consumers, us, at interest, to the people that typed money into existence. They literally went, oh, you want to borrow $100,000?

1:26:20 Okay. There's no $100,000. They're just printing out numbers. And then, oh, here you go. You've got access to money. And then they're like, oh, at interest. So they didn't even have the money to give you. They just gave it to you on paper, basically digitally. And now you're paying the money for the money that they didn't have that they gave you. And so they get all the money that they loaned you, which they poofed out of thin air. Plus the interest that you pay them on that. If you want to look, you can get pissed about that. Bernie made off all you want. That boy was an amateur thing, right? He was a fucking amateur, massive amateur.

1:27:02 these guys are doing it to 340 million people just in this country but it's global oh and the people that don't want a central bank well you know qaddafi asad saddam all these people will they get you know freedom i hate those fucking people oh hi puppies it's talking about puppies again puppies nice yeah it's it's it's bad dude you know what the worst part is most people don't even understand this and even if they hear it they their mind goes oh no that can't be true go go look it up it's quick it's easy look up what frank fractional reserve banking is Yeah, I realize that are the entirety all of our economy is built on the back of fractional reserve banking.

1:28:01 There was actually money there. There's none. There's 10 percent. Maybe. And there's not even a requirement anymore to keep 10 percent. This is fucked up. Literally, they removed the requirement because economic problems. are you fucking kidding me yeah it's it's a wonderful system man we should do this more often we'll be back to the barter system before too long god i hope so i really do you know gold silver seashells whatever you find valuable money is money is not a bad thing money is a tool it's an object right it is a means to transact literally a transaction should be this simple and those of you that think capitalism is problematic and it's evil and everything else none of what you're talking about is capitalism capitalism is lx and myself and i'm like hey man i really like that thing in your garage let me buy that from you and you're like hey okay but you know i kind of want you know 500 for it and I'm like yeah I don't think it's worth $500 but I'll give you 400 and you you go okay I'll take 400 for it we both agree we get exactly what we want we transacted we exchanged a token of value whatever that might be gold silver Bitcoin or Zano Zano what's that narrow okay pirate coin

1:29:39 don't use the others please please please but do what you feel for don't take my advice just do your research but anyway that's what capitalism is it's not hey uh i want to sell this product well you need a permit for that uh so pay us for a permit okay so now you can have a license to sell that product but you can only do it within these boundaries and um you know you're gonna have to use a manufacturer's set price and then on top of that you're gonna have to add in these taxes and all this other stuff so we're your middleman and we'll allow you to sell this thing okay and then i come to you and i go well i want that and you're like it's five hundred dollars and i'm like well i think it's worth four hundred dollars and you go yeah it was but i gotta pay licensing and i gotta pay these fees and i gotta you know give this middleman his due because i for some reason and he needs to be there.

1:30:33 That's not fucking capitalism, okay? So what you're railing against is government. You're railing against cronyism. You're railing against corporatism. You're not railing against capitalism. Capitalism in and of itself is simplistic and very fine. It works wonderfully. If you've ever exchanged something with someone else, like, hey, man, oh, dude, I like that. Oh, yeah. Hey, I like, oh, yeah. you I don want this thing you do you want to trade and you like yeah sure that capitalism did you get fucked did you feel bad afterwards no because if you felt like that was the case you would have just come yeah I not gonna make that trade capitalism there it is okay and the whole yeah you just just simplify things down for that right so understand that, right? But yeah, the system that's built up around us is, is it, it's at some point it's going to come crashing down. It has to, because we cannot continue to grow the debt to our GDP at the rate that we have. And one of the canary in the coal mines has always been, if our military spending spending ever exceeds certain markers um then uh we've crossed a line we cannot come back from well this year we did that

1:32:08 for the first time first time ever really yep it's never happened before i mean 250 years is good for 100 that's kind of historically about the time an empire lasts now you could give us another 50 years because we weren't necessarily empire building for the first 50 75 years but we were but not really so i don't know i i don't think this country has in its current form with its current system more than probably 100 years left. I just don't. Because of the way we've gone.

1:32:52 Make a good movie. I hope I'm wrong. I really do. I pray that I'm wrong. But historically, it's pretty accurate to look at it that way. Now, there are outliers anywhere, of course. But we're not that special. We're really not. We are not like the Genghis Khan of the world, right? We aren't. We thought we were. Kind of believed we might be, but we're not. We're not the big dog. You want to think we are, but we're not. If we were the big dog, we would have stopped Russia. But we didn't. Here's the problem.

1:33:33 You can't have a big dog anymore. Because the big dog goes on another big dog, and then all of us die. Everyone. poof except maybe some Australians how about we end on a nice happy note okay we get you got you're looking at me really you just spun me up you want me to just go straight to happy like puppies and balloons and flowers we did all our uh all our garden starts we get those some of them in the ground oh yeah that's that's nice right it is really actually well so what do you guys plant for for we get a actually i wrote i wrote it down so i wouldn't forget um uh squash and zucchini and tomatoes and sweet potatoes and your favorites the brassicas wait wait tomatoes you're planting tomatoes in the fall yeah it's florida dude florida yeah we get one more uh we get one more winter crop before they all die we get time for one more they get a winter harvest of tomatoes because we do like it yeah man yeah they'll die off right before you guys come to visit again so you see you you get what three seasons well two and a half seasons of of tomatoes right but there's a period of about probably two months where it's just too hot and tomatoes go nope don't want to be like three months in the summer they just won't grow

1:35:05 it's too hot even with the sunshade and all that stuff it's too much why do you why do you pull them out though they'll go dormant during that heat season and then produce and you've got a full-fledged plant or do they die oh man i'm not the guy to ask you gotta ask the professional gardener it ain't me i i know i know the professional garden i will talk to i just go along for the ride dude i'm just i'm just the hired help i just dig holes and and haul bags of dirt and stuff i i did that for a while my boss called it landscaping right yeah it was nothing but digging a lot of big really really really really big holes like what are we doing you know this this job and he's like oh we're putting in a few trees you get there and these trees in the wooden crates have you ever seen those no yeah they're like you know five feet across they're five foot by five foot okay okay we need a hole you know the hole's supposed to be double the size of the container right so a 10 foot hole don't they have equipment for that kind of stuff my boss was cheap they did have equipment for that kind of stuff john deere havoc and nice kibota steve there was no john deere kibota involved in the making of this it was just havoc and steve digging very very big holes and he survived you got experience from it

1:36:39 if something tells me i could have figured out how to use a shovel all on my own maybe i'm wrong it is a pretty complicated tool and all it's got a handle and a shovel so i could be wrong right i could have been doing it all wrong like just swing it over my head like it was a pickaxe or something right yeah yeah but but something about it just intuitively speaks to you like put the pointy end in the dirt step on these parts that are folded over so you can step on them and use the long handle as leverage to get the dirt out of the hole seems logical to me you should run lessons to the county guys because i don't know that they know how to use those things they just use them for holding themselves up those ones are different The shovel at the bottom is actually flattened off and then leveled out so that you can lean on it properly on a road.

1:37:37 All right. Yeah. I figured it was something like that. Yeah. Those are definitely not shovels. They're leaning devices for workers. We call them workers. You go drive by. There's one guy in the hole, right? One guy. Yeah, 10 guys standing around watching that guy. people standing around looking at him like what what do we why are we paying for this why why are we paying for this like i could hire bubba and jb and you know get them in there and that thing would be done in a day and it's going to take you guys six months yeah i don't know man yeah we're ready to get getting a full swing on the garden thing pretty soon it's always right before we come to visit sorry Bubba sorry JB I know y'all are way more qualified than digging holes but that is just a point nice but yeah no it's it's a it's a it's an interesting thing all right so what do we got that we can leave on a positive note on we're gonna invite everybody back for uh next saturday we can do that okay so next saturday october 4th at 5 30 p.m eastern we're going to try this i think we probably should do a test and make sure that this actually works maybe probably set sound levels you know kind of like i don't want to say professional because we're not those

1:39:07 minor things you know what's the worst that can happen right it doesn't work apply a small, a smidgen, a tad of professionalism in here, test it out first and make sure it's all good. But anyway, we are going to do that. We're going to do some giveaways. I don't know what everything's going to be, but I will tell you, I'm going to offer up between three and five certificates to go download the Jones plantation and watch that. If you care to, if you don't want to watch it you can give the certificate to someone that might enjoy that um it's a really really well done film and it's actually it's actually really good i i have to just say very very big kudos to larkin and the jones plantation crew because you did an amazing job of taking a concept and putting into a feature film as people that don't know that industry or at least i assume You don't really know that industry or how that all works.

1:40:07 And it turned out very well. Right. So great job. And the message is spot on. It's perfect. It's, it's the perfect parallel for a plantation to now. I'll have to watch this. Yeah. I've got a certificate for you. Oh, good. It's really good. It really is. And, And there's no predictive programming or, you know, bullshit like that. And there is just literally trying to open your eyes a little bit. Like, wake up. Hello, you're in a dream. But anyway, so we'll do that.

1:40:47 I don't know what else we'll give for gift certificates. Probably, you know, I thought about War Dragons packs. But like a lot of people have quit that we, you know, we talked to. few of them are still in there so maybe we'll get we'll do some you know a couple one or two google and amazon play cards or whatever or not google uh google and amazon google and and uh apple apple yeah fruit that's your favorite company i know you want this company company company yeah so uh but we will do something we'll make it we'll make it fun but even even better you can you know interact with us while we're live on stream and distract us and and that's easy to do for me and if you want to trigger havoc into a rant and hoodie i'm looking at you here buddy yeah if you want to trigger havoc into a rant come on in drop a comment on the live stream and i'm sure i'll pop right off we probably need to start like advertising this in various places huh we just did besides here i mean like oh that's right our social media presence i'm gonna leave that up to you our new social media manager okay you have a facebook account i don't yeah i i have like 15 people on there and like five of them are my more than i have five of them are my dead animals that had their own facebook pages that's still 10 more than i have that's true
