Government regulation can inadvertently reduce market competition and consumer choice, as demonstrated by the blocking of JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit Airlines, which eliminated a low-cost carrier option despite the stated goal of preventing monopolies. This illustrates how regulatory interventions intended to protect consumers can sometimes have the opposite effect by removing competitive market options.

Pew View's New Challenge for the Fat Electrician | Underwhelming Podcast Ep 39Added:
I'm gonna say what the challenges are like.
>> Okay.
>> They're like the you see in his videos and he like it's [ __ ] >> I'll just start eating hot wings right now.
>> This is not what happened. But it the challenges are like all right. We're about 80 yards away.
>> That's a starter.
>> I've placed a Zen can on the head of that cardboard target. You have to hit it on your first try from a hundred yards away with a pistol. If not, you have to tell me how many people your mother has slept with. Like crazy [ __ ] Like, >> wait, that was on the table. Like, >> this video is brought to you by vet claims.ai. Okay, here's the deal. If you're prior military service and you've tried to interact with the VA, you already know that it's incredibly confusing to the point that a lot of veterans don't even try to get VA compensation. And if they do, they usually end up doing it wrong. So, they're underrated. VetCLC claims.ai AI will not only help you with your initial claim, they will also help you with any appeals that you need. Now, there are a lot of companies out there that do this, but me and Zach think that this is the best company out there right now, and that's why we're letting them sponsor the channel. Why do we think they're the best? Well, they've only been in business for a little bit over a year.
And in that time, they've already been endorsed by and partnered with the Purple Heart Foundation. They're founded by a veteran. They employ over 200 veterans. And in that one-year span, they've already helped out over 18,000 veterans with their VA claims. It's also an upfront, straightforward business model. You pay them $1,250 to help you out with your VA claim. And they go in, they do it. If they don't get you an increase of at least 10%, not only will they give you your money back, they'll give you an additional $500 for wasting your time. And this is why I personally really like them. They are brutally honest about how they feel. They want to get veterans what they are owed. Nothing more, nothing less. Every ad a YouTuber ever does, they get sent this big packet of talking points and information on every single ad they do. It's not actually meant for the viewer to be able to see. And I'm not even supposed to read you this right now, but I'm going to go ahead and read you something directly from their packet. We will not help anyone game the system and we will not lead a vet into faking the funk or get a higher rating, nor will we push a veteran towards filing false claims.
Plenty of other services do this. That's not us. So, if you feel that you have a legitimate service related condition that has not yet been rated by the VA or that you feel has been underrated by the VA, I would highly recommend checking out vet claims.ai. On the flip side of that, if you're just trying to game the system and you know that I don't recommend you go to these guys cuz they legitimately might tell you to go [ __ ] yourself. Anyways, if you want to check them out, I'll have a link in the description down below. Let's get back to the show.
>> And welcome back to your favorite podcast, The Underwhelming Podcast. I'm the hostess with the mostus, the Giwa Jack Harlo, joined as always by the warden of Wattage, the king of the wheels, Blas, and of course, the one, the only, the pistol, the man, the myth, the legend, Pew View. Welcome.
>> Thanks for having me, man. Do you practice that in front of the mirror?
Because I'm really good. You didn't skip a beat.
>> I don't. I just like literally think about like four or five things and then I'm like, "Okay, I can talk about this.
I can talk about this. I can talk about this." And you know, I'm just glad you're on my team.
>> You have that diversion chambered. Now I don't believe you. You practice it.
>> No. No, I don't practice it.
>> What did you call yourself last time?
The TBI Tom Brady.
>> The TBI Tom Brady. Yeah. The TBI Tom Brady is pretty cool.
>> That's pretty good.
>> The brain injury bad boy. Like, did >> you see this psychopath shoot through his wedding ring the other day?
>> Was that real or is it AI? It's >> all real.
>> That's what he says.
>> You think my dumbass knows how to do anything with AI?
>> I love that. That's your defense against fake content is you're like, I'm too dumb.
>> I don't understand none of that [ __ ] dude.
>> No, I mean it's it's great. I got to say one of the best benefits I have uh is being able to hang out with you is I am leaps and bounds a better pistol shooter. Me and Blas and Colazo even went out and put some rounds on target in a public range which was a little bit not that great. Um >> because I went into the place the place is great but they they also like sell like 100 rounds on a machine gun or whatever and like bachelor parties and stuff come in and so we're like shooting.
>> We both outshot Colazo. Facts or facts?
>> It happened.
>> And uh at the same time like a 240 is going off and I can literally see rounds sparking off the ground. I'm like, "Yo, yo, dude, we got to slide." Like I don't trust range people. It's nothing against them. It's just I I look back >> something against everybody.
>> Yeah, it's it's against I mean, I think about Marines when we would walk them on lines doing live fire drills. I would, you know, it was a coach, you be like a little range coach, one on each side, and you kind of adjust them like this, like a sail in the wind. Up too far up, you know, hammer pair, control pair, up too far. We had issues with that. You know, some guy is turning 40 in Nashville and wants to shoot a machine gun. I don't know what he's got going on. He might be upside down in this 401k and he's just trying to figure it all out. It's scary.
>> Yeah. I can't do public ranges for [ __ ] dude. Like even at events, like shooting events that I'm required to go through for like contracts and [ __ ] >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I'm not going on the firing line like Shot Show. I'm skipping Monday. I'm not.
>> People are so incredibly stupid with >> I've never been to a Monday.
>> And like the influencers, they'll be like, "Look at this shit." loaded, finger on the trigger, pointed at the guy next to him on that [ __ ] >> I won't say who. I I should cuz I don't even care. But uh >> tell me >> there was there was an influencer uh big on like Instagram and Tik Tok that got brought out to the first ever creator range day that we ever did.
>> Uh the one at the Black Rifle Ranch.
>> Mhm.
And he's kind of known for like being big bodybuilder, strong guy type dude, which is funny because he's not that big, but that's how he portrays himself.
So he he thought it would be super cool to hip fire an MG42, >> and I got to see him I got to see him go about 90 degrees >> like literally almost broke the threshold of the firing line.
>> Yeah. with one burst of MG42 and I was like, I didn't like that guy before that and I definitely don't like him now.
Like >> [ __ ] terrifying, dude.
>> He has not been invited back.
>> He has not.
>> He has not. They That was his first and last range day. We've since matured in our range days and uh yeah, it's it's fun.
>> Something like that.
>> Matured aka Zack and Aiden will hunt you down if you [ __ ] up per last range day.
Dear Lord, our last range day we had um I believe the story was there was somebody that for either Brandon's campaign or for Pepper Box, somebody won an all exclusive paid trip to come out and come to Creator Range Day as just a fan, which is awesome. Well, he had brought a like an uncle or a buddy or something and said uncle or buddy who was not necessarily a fan or like into the culture decided it would be cool to sexually harass one of the female influencers.
And I got to watch Zach and Aiden play dog the bounty hunter for three hours and track this dude down. It was it was exciting to watch.
>> And what happened? Um the he's basically blacklisted from everything Vegas owns.
>> I That's not an exaggeration.
>> That's not an exaggeration. Um >> so I can't go into too many specifics of it, but like it was he was drunk, blah blah blah. No excuses or anything. And that was like uh when we found out exactly who it was, like we hey, you're out. Go away. Bye. and uh his he literally will never be able to do anything in Vegas as long as he's on God's green earth.
>> Damn.
>> Because what people don't understand is uh we have this thing called accountability and it's a [ __ ] when it finds you. And we work really hard to make like range day fun for everyone who is invited. That's why not everyone is invited. That's just a [ __ ] reality. I don't know you. And if someone can't be like, I know Blas, he's blank. Or I know Nick, he's blank.
Like that's it. It doesn't go outside of that. And um for safety reasons, security, there's guns. It's it's also it's really just a networking event with guns, >> right?
>> Um big sponsors are there. Some of the like the number two person in YouTube was there. Um, and so it's constantly something that's like in order to keep it what it is, it's got to be well-maintained and like not >> Well, that's the other thing cuz like YouTube is sending like he's not exaggerating like the number two person for content at YouTube was at range day.
So, it's like one accident or one person being a dumb like >> it's it's really a big push to like keep guns on YouTube showing all the YouTube executives that like live in California and have never shot a gun in their life like hey come over here come shoot this gun here like this is it can be safe this can be done educational like there's no danger so like if you bring around a bunch of people like there's no drinking like nobody's being a dumbass like it's very much like >> please let this exist on the internet >> quite a lot on the line acting like a jackass.
>> The only drinking was at at the casino that we partnered with which is circa casino.
>> Yeah, there's a big after party. There's a ton of drinking there >> before. So, the way it works is like we do like a welcome party, try and keep it light and then the next day, this is my favorite part actually. We don't like report in until 11:00. Go hot around like noon or whatever cuz like it doesn't it's Vegas and or range day somewhere. We're all tired blah blah blah.
>> Yeah. and then an afterparty afterwards and then you go home the next day. So like the only thing you can eat on the range in Vegas uh [ __ ] In-N-Out like and and whatever Coke drink you want and water that is and Echelon and Echelon.
So there was a bunch of Echelon and that's it. And so like >> it's fun. We want to continue to make it fun and like Nick said, dispel all the rumors. It's it's all Brandon and Cody's like brainchild, right, of like how do you make people um less afraid of guns and like normalize them. Uh because uh you know, as you know, probably better than anyone, there's a lot of demonization around it. And uh I don't know, I was thinking about this clip on uh I saw recently uh the show with the autistic people. It'll come to me. Love on the spectrum. And one of the main characters is this guy named Connor who lives in Georgia. And his mom was like, "Don't carry that knife near me." And he's like, "Let me show you something."
And he puts the knife down. He's like, "Knife? Go ahead. Attack her. Attack her. Attack her." And he does this thing. And he goes, he goes, "Weapons are merely an extension or a reflection of the person who uses them." And I was like, "Damn." Like, like that's actually what it applies to everything. And so, >> no, but we uh toss that dude out on his his ass. And like literally all the hotels communicate to each other.
There's I don't even know how consolidated it is, but there can't be that many people, but they just like pass around and done dun done later.
That's it. Oh well, one less [ __ ] in the world.
>> I mean, good.
>> Yeah. So, you know, >> not a bad thing at all.
>> No, >> even like competitions and [ __ ] If I go to a competition, it's not just cardboard. They got steel out there. I want nothing to do with it.
>> Tell me why.
>> People just don't understand like >> bullets can [ __ ] bounce. Especially if like the angle of the steel isn't exactly where it needs to be. So I was, you know, Hansel, they used to have a range over there, a public range.
>> And it was like >> maybe 150 yards of a firing line. It was at the opposite end and I was right here at the front like as you drive in the driveway. Steel plate maybe 10 yards off the firing line. Right in between us.
Shoots that [ __ ] Hits me right in the chest. Hurt like a [ __ ] I was back black and blue. It sucked a lot.
>> I couldn't like yell. I couldn't breathe in. 10 millimeters. So it [ __ ] sucked extra hard.
>> How did just dude having a [ __ ] good old time over there. But like >> not only that, it was a parking lot over here. So if he were to have missed this deal, would have hit like people's vehicles or whatever.
>> Yeah.
>> So yeah, public ranges I ain't [ __ ] doing. Steel not doing it. It's also uh side note, it's also tough going on the Staccato Las Vegas range and seeing only one name on the leaderboard.
>> Can you guess who it is?
>> Mm- >> I'm looking at him >> still >> on every like little thing that they had. This one's called the Kangaroo Killer and there's like people who like there's tears that have wiped away their names. Jeff Steven Pew like by miles.
>> Long range with a pistol. How many meters?
1400. Is that what it was?
>> Those are the lever gun. Yeah.
>> Sorry.
Yeah, that one. Pew View. Pew View. Pew View. They should rename it to Pew View's place or the Pew View Palace.
>> That is a really fun place to go shoot though. Like if anybody watching this is in Vegas, that's a good thing.
>> No, it's it's sick with like the they have like uh the one place that looks like the popular video game that no one can name so they don't get sued, right?
And like it looks like a town of a nuclear type and that's cool. And then they have all the like little like uh the gunfighter. It's called like gunfight or something where you like run through a like a little river valley and there's like targets everywhere.
>> Yeah. It's like Havoc Canyon I think.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's wild.
>> I can't run and it's hot as [ __ ] down in there. Like middle of the summer and you get down in one of those canyons, it's like 120 degrees and I'm trying to sprint in cowboy boots [ __ ] running and gunning. really >> panting by the end of it. I don't run at all ever.
>> You don't need to run. We need to run.
>> You're the problem. Who?
>> We should probably do that.
>> Who asked you to do it?
>> Just the guys that own the over there.
>> John C. Staccato.
>> No, the whoever runs the Vegas. God, I can't remember.
>> I know who you're talking about. He's a great guy. Uh when we went there the sum, it was like June before they built everything for the big range day last year in the in the fall. Um, he was like, "Yeah, we're putting this here.
We're putting this here, blah blah blah blah." And it it sounded like crazy ambitious.
>> Sure. Everything was built >> to like perfection. It was incredible.
And the whole place is covered with internet and everything. It was actually pretty cool.
>> I couldn't ever connect to them [ __ ] things, but yeah, they got them out there.
>> They they just got it like the week we we were coming in. They're like, "It's up." Because they wanted it to work for the event and everything and blah blah blah.
>> But >> that's a really cool [ __ ] place, though. They got like really good training facilities for like the SWAT teams and everything.
>> Yeah, they said they um built a lot of it like Midsouth, the place where all the SEALs go, whatever.
>> Um so yeah, I I don't know. It's like kind of like what you expect like a place like that to be or you have hopes of like just targets, but then like little things like the pedal to reset them and stuff like >> right >> those are touches that are like that's easy.
>> We were just talking about like the steel plates at public ranges and [ __ ] At least Tacado knows what the [ __ ] they're doing and doesn't set them in stupid places where you're going to get a ricochet. Like they're angled properly. They're set at proper distances so it's not like crossfire.
>> That makes me feel a little bit better.
I'll go shoot a [ __ ] like that. Like little podunk town range. Nope.
>> Speaking of ranges, do people like come to you and ask you to do like seminars or 101 ons or like classes?
>> Oh yeah, all the time.
>> All the time. And you're like, "Nah, >> no."
>> Yeah. I would not endorse that either.
>> I'm trying to get [ __ ] Chris Kyle though my own range, it's not gonna happen.
>> No, I understand that. I mean, I'm sure if like Bezos or something goes >> right. I mean, there's >> you might listen to his offer. You know, >> there there's been some pretty good offers and like maybe I will eventually, but like for me to get away for three days and not do part of what I'm doing currently, it's not a thing.
>> You're gonna need a Bezos check, huh? I think >> Yeah, that'll do. If Elon comes to you and he's like, "Um, Pew View, um, can you uh teach me about shooting?" Like, would you be like, "I don't know." And he's like, "You will have 10% of X."
>> I feel like, >> but also, do we want Elon Musk to know how to shoot a gun properly? Cuz >> I mean, I don't know.
>> That'd be [ __ ] dope, actually. I'm down. I'm down. I feel like you're like gonna quickly like as you I think it could be like one of those trends like how you know celebrities like get um belts in jiu-jitsu because they're like going to private seminars. Some of them are good, some of them are bad. Like Ed O'Neal >> super legit >> certified man killer >> Al Bundy just balling people up and selling shoes the next day.
>> Are there celebrities reaching out just being like, "Hey, I want to I want to learn how to shoot." The amount of celebrities that he's just left on red cracks me the [ __ ] up. You don't have to You don't have to say any name for clips.
>> I'll like casually mention somebody.
He's like, "Oh yeah, that guy DM'd me a while back. I should probably respond to him."
>> Any hints? I want to know. Now, >> there's a bunch of them. If I don't like follow them or care about what they're doing, I don't care that you're rich and famous. That doesn't mean I don't care.
There's a few celebrities that I like and I'm sitting across from one of them.
Like I don't give a [ __ ] you know?
>> That is not the tier of celebrity then.
>> Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
>> Like Jamie, >> that's who I watch. I don't watch TV or [ __ ] movies. I don't really give a [ __ ] Like I watch you on YouTube. So you're more of a celebrity than [ __ ] some cool rapper reaching out to me in my DMs. I just don't give a [ __ ] >> I get that. I don't really watch movies either. I watch like >> content that I'm interested in.
>> Right. I watch YouTube for [ __ ] and [ __ ] he's top of the list.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. Henry Caval drops you D.
>> I have no idea who that is.
>> Damn.
You kind of just got a little bit of a boner. So, >> bro, he's like a gun hermit. Like, he's >> I'm trying to think of I'm trying to think of someone he'd be like, >> "Hang on, let me think for a second."
>> Sliced alone.
>> I know him.
>> What? You know him?
>> I know of him. No, I've never >> All answers could be true in that moment. Did anyone feel that? He's like, "Yeah, I taught him how to shoot in Tulsa King."
>> Yeah.
>> Is there anybody reaching out [ __ ] >> Sean Strickland? When's that happening?
>> Soon, hopefully. But obviously, he just he's a little a little >> Yeah, >> he won me a decent amount of money though. I bet on the decision.
>> Um, >> that's [ __ ] cool.
>> He's not doing too bad cuz he did like 12 podcasts immediately after.
>> He's like there be like, "Oh my god."
>> Like he's >> every one of them. Aren't you glad you guys are hearing this in English? Like >> Yeah. He's like, >> "That guy cracks me the [ __ ] up. If I can watch him or listen to him talk about anything, he just says some wild [ __ ] and it's always [ __ ] funny.
>> I mean, obviously that's not who he is as a person, but >> he's got to sell fights.
>> Well, I mean, like I don't believe everything we see is exactly who he is.
Like um probably not that far off is what I would say.
>> Yeah, but I mean I think the I think the the beef between him and Kamzot was hyped up a little bit because in the promo they did not appear like they genuinely did not like each other at all. several times.
>> Yeah, that that's high. You put the belt on him. Yeah. I mean, that's that's some of that's promo. Um >> Right.
>> Which I I respect. I actually respect that more than people who like >> take it personal and it's just like, dude, we're we're trying to get paid.
All right. We hate each other for a living. Let's just settle down.
>> I mean, there's a lot of truth to what Sean said post fight, though. Like you said, there's a >> a connection that happens between people when you're out there trying to kill each other and both people are wanting to stop. you have that mutual respect for one >> I think that is when it shines and that when it comes out >> I mean sometimes most of the time people just that hate each other [ __ ] continue to hate each other the whole time >> either way I'm watching that's [ __ ] awesome >> he had one clip and I don't know who he's talking to >> Sean it was post fight and this guy kind of feels like an agent power broker type dude and he was like I knew this guy was going to be something he's like talking to him and he's like Sean says something like uh you know when everyone tells you you're trash your whole life. You start to believe them. And he's like, I had to get past that. He's like, my family said I was trash. School said I was like, he says like all the people that have told him no. And he's like, I'm fighting against that. And I was like, childhood memory activated. I was like, oh no.
>> I think the coolest thing that Sean Strickland does is like being extremely real about how I don't want to say lucky, but like how stacked the odds are against you to get where he is. where he's talking about how like he's like, "When I was a kid training, there was a UFC fighter that trained at my local gym teaching women's [ __ ] kickboxing classes at 50 years old. Broke as shit."
He's like, "The if you're in the UFC, you're the top 1% and only 1% of those guys is going to get money." He's like, "It's just >> this is not an easy life and it requires a lot of hard work and a lot of luck to like not get hurt, not all this other [ __ ] where he's like, >> if you can do something else with your life, I would recommend it. It's probably better."
>> Yeah. I've heard him say that.
>> Pretty cool for somebody at the top to come out and say that >> anybody can do it.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's like, "No, no, they can't."
>> Yeah. I mean, it's the same thing with uh how you say it, Hamzot.
>> Hamzot. I mean, like anybody can do it, but like that guy comes from like one of the most adverse >> environments of all time. And that's all that's all all of them know. They're like, "We live in mountains. We eat rocks. We fight bears." Like that's that's what they do. Sun up to sun down.
>> That guy's [ __ ] scary.
>> They're all scary. Like imagine being them. Like you train your entire life for like legit war, like a superhero movie, and then like you you leave the place that is basically a nightmare scenario to live at and you come to America, you're like, >> "Hey, this is pretty cool."
>> Oh, >> GMOs are nice.
>> Like you're living the dream. But yeah, so you're going to do something with Sean?
>> Hopefully. Maybe.
>> He seem he seems interested. So >> I will be in the background on the new shows. Oh, is there a new show? New show alert. New show alert.
>> First episode.
>> He is the first episode.
>> Tell us about the new show.
>> Doing like a interview style with shooting challenges. So essentially I'm going to like interview the people like we had the fed electrician on first. So asking questions that you may not want to answer. So I'm kind of crossing some lines here and there while trying to stay respectful but maybe a little little over the line for a little bit of comedy. Like obviously I don't want anybody to dox themselves or say anything that they wouldn't already on the internet, but we're pushing the lines a little bit. Then we give them a shooting challenge. If they miss their shot, they have to answer the question.
If they hit it, we move on to the next.
>> So like hot ones with guns >> pretty much hot hot ones with guns and shooting challenges.
>> I like that.
>> Just like progressively gets harder with the questions in the shots. Got a couple like side quests.
>> I want to tell you how ridiculous these challenges are, but I don't want to ruin his show. Do the challenges change or do they stay the same?
>> So, we're doing season for season one.
Yeah. Se season one is going to be all the same guns, all the same challenges.
So, every it's a, you know, even playing field because whoever's at the top of the scoreboard at the end of season one is getting something. So, this [ __ ] over here, dude.
>> Now, will they will they all be recorded before they release?
>> Yeah, we're recording everything. So, nobody gets a first of all. Can I say what some I can't really say. I'm going to say what the challenges are like.
>> Okay. They're like the [ __ ] you see in his videos. And he like it's [ __ ] [ __ ] >> I'll just start eating hot wings right now.
>> This is not what happened. But it the challenges are like, "All right, we're about 80 yards away."
>> [ __ ] That's a starter.
>> I've placed a Zen can on the head of that cardboard target. You have to hit it on your first try from a hundred yards away with a pistol. If not, you have to tell me how many people your mother has slept with. like crazy [ __ ] Like, >> wait, that was on the table. I go >> that was on the table.
>> I mean, they're not that bad, but they are they're obviously I want you to miss.
>> Yeah.
>> I I I want you to miss the shot, so you have to answer my question. So, obviously, I go back and forth. Like, one of them's like, there's a 70% chance that you're not going to hit this. And then we'll go to one that's like, you got a 20% of hitting that shot. But I'll mix that with a appropriate question to try to throw them off so they miss, you know, >> get them comfortable.
>> What was the process behind coming up with some of these shots? Were they just things that you have done that you had like specifically liked that you'd want to see if >> I mean, it's kind of all thought out to since I'm trying to step it up to make them, you know, a little bit uncomfortable so they are able to miss the shots. It's just like a progression of different shots that I think are going to be entertaining cuz like if you hit this, holy [ __ ] this is going to go viral. If you miss, holy [ __ ] it's gonna be hilarious. So either way, it's a win-win for me.
>> What a concept.
>> Yeah, it's >> Dang, >> it's really fun. I'm really looking forward to you seeing your episode. It's really good.
>> I'll just recite my whole life in front of you and just clean your weapons.
>> I I got a beginner I can send you if you want to play it on here. I sent that to >> Please, please, please. Let's do a soft little teaser.
>> It's really good. Welcome to Miss and Tell. Whenever you're ready, take your sweet time. Zero time taken.
>> A show where every missed shot comes with a price.
>> I reached out to your parents and they provided me with a fairly embarrassing photo of you.
>> Perfect.
>> You hit the target, you keep your secrets.
>> Damn.
>> But if you miss, you might have to answer a possibly uncomfortable question.
>> In your opinion, who is the most overrated gun tuber?
>> Would you like to redact your statement?
>> From easy shots to impossible ones.
>> I'm not answering any more questions. I figured it out.
>> The pressure builds and the questions get worse. I can't answer that. And >> by the end of it, we're going to find out who performs under pressure.
>> Doing all right.
>> Let's kick the interview off right here with today's guest electrician.
>> Wow. I've never seen you on your back foot.
>> That's good.
>> Yeah, I'm pretty [ __ ] excited.
>> That's really good.
>> Everybody wants to see an interview of their favorite influencer. Like that.
It's just fun. But everybody always asks the same question. So, we're trying to go a little bit outside of the box and get people uncomfortable and give them something >> visually appealing like to be entertained with these shooting challenges as you're learning about your favorite influencers.
>> Honestly, that's what we were trying to do in the sense with underwhelming is make it like not like question driven and more just like this is as close as you'll get to Zack, Nick, Nick, Blas, right?
>> Just a just a kickback, dude. Like if we were to put a grill here, it would it wouldn't seem out of place, you know, >> just chilling there.
>> Well, because I've noticed this lately that like there's a ton of like the debate things or question podcasts that happen. Like Jubilee, for instance, has the craziest premise of all, >> right?
>> They'll put like six people in a room be like, "Guess who's Asian." And like one guy's Asian and the other people are not or whatever. Like it's off-the-wall stuff.
>> Jillian Michaels versus 20 fat women.
Yeah, >> except except they have to run to the chair to talk. Most diabolical setup I've ever seen. That [ __ ] was hilarious.
>> It was wild. Like one one girl's defense uh one lady I guess uh her defense was basically she didn't like the way Jillian was describing like health and she was like it's not like fatbodied or she's like someone who's >> Yeah. Quit calling them obese. They're fatbodied.
>> Yeah. Yeah. First of all, fatbodied sounds way more offensive than obese.
Obese is a medical term. If you start calling people fat bodies, >> that's pretty funny.
>> That was her whole defense. Like, the language just isn't good. And she's like, "Okay, what else?" She's like, "That's it." That's like her whole defense was she's like, "All right." And then she like got up. I mean, it's kind of crazy, but I like I think it's better to like have stuff that's like real. I think in the grand scheme of things, that's my push back to AI is making something that's like human as opposed to something that's just like clickbaity, rage bay. There's a ton of that stuff happening right now.
>> Yeah, 100%.
>> The rise the rise of the IRL streamer is like the worst trend in the internet in my opinion right now.
>> The IRL >> what they're doing walking around the street just [ __ ] with people constantly.
>> Yes.
>> I love watching them get their absolute ass beat up. That is very entertaining.
that one guy in Nashville, uh, Chud the Builder, like he just is a goes around >> that [ __ ] >> he just goes around screaming every >> arrested >> every racial slur in the book on Broadway and like >> damn >> he's also like accosting like people who are just like in town like I hate that that's moved into real life. It's not just in Nashville, it's everywhere. like the clavviculars, the you know there's this one kid I know who goes around and his his name is 225 and he has 225 tattooed on him everywhere or like cuz that's how much he can bench press and he just does IRL streaming constantly like >> that's the gayest [ __ ] I've ever heard in my life.
>> It's what he does and he's and he like hits on women. He's like, "Hey, what's up? What's up? What's up?" And it's just like >> he's selling like some program. I'm sure it's just probably the worst trend right now. And I think the only solution is purging bots off the internet because I'm convinced half that stuff only exists because of all the bots. So like it artificially creates like that it's viral. Does that make sense?
>> Yeah, for sure.
>> And everyone's just clip farming anyways.
>> Dead internet theory.
>> We're We are hurling through it.
Instagram just made a purge.
>> I've seen that everybody. Russia has 147 million people and 153 million X accounts.
>> Do you know what I mean? It's like >> you make a you make one or 10 X accounts at a time. That's pretty normal behavior.
>> Well, the crazy part is like you also got to think about how like how many people just don't have X at all. The majority, I'm guessing 10% of people. I mean, we feel a little bit different because we're all internet is our job or whatever, but like average people, >> maybe one in 10 >> and and half of those are people that are mostly following NFL sports and like >> sports news.
>> I have there's one that I follow that's a weather one in Tennessee me and bloss because it covers like all the counties we live in.
>> Sphere weather.
>> Yeah, it's Nashville sphere. Like you're looking for information. So, I always think like people have like three followers or whatever. They're just looking. They're not engaging. Dude, I didn't even have social media until my buddies started posting my videos. Like, I had nothing.
>> Yeah, I was I was going to put my kids through college on that, but you had to keep going. I was just clip farming.
>> Sorry, dude. Sorry about that. A few bands.
>> Yeah, >> I'm just kidding. No, I don't. I wish I thought of it.
>> Wife's starting to do more shorts with you.
>> Yeah, >> those are funny.
>> Yeah, the couples.
>> The wedding rings one. Yeah, >> she's so lucky. Um, here's a >> dude. Her content is actually pretty funny. She'll just go on there and say some random [ __ ] and it makes me >> You two are the perfect gun couple in the best way of like actually promoting like that you're like married and a family and stuff, but like you also happen to do gun stuff as opposed to like just stupid I I don't know like how she goes on there and just like [ __ ] just shits on everybody and defends you.
>> Dude, I love playing Call of Duty with her. so [ __ ] funny cuz obviously Call of Duty lobbies are just chithugging >> sweaty.
>> So I'll start to say like something just a little bit like to clap back at somebody and she'll just go [ __ ] hard on him like >> that's my man. Watch your [ __ ] mouth.
>> 2010 Call of Duty lobby kind of scene.
>> I love it, dude.
>> S there cracking up.
>> It's awesome.
>> You guys play in separate rooms?
>> No, she's right behind >> I like that. Yeah, because it's it's just funny because like you're the real life uh guy from Trimmers with the guns in his basement with his wife with you know what I'm talking about the first movie Bert where the grab boy comes through the wall and they're just shooting it with all the guns on the wall. It's you and your wife. You've never seen that?
>> No, but it sounds awesome.
>> Worms. They dig underground. He's like a big gun guy.
>> I know exactly what you're talking about.
>> And there's like five minutes of them just shooting like elephant guns and like all of these stuff.
>> Didn't they [ __ ] die by some worms though?
>> No. No, >> they shoot him. They literally like lead the the rebellion against the worms.
>> Hell yeah. Yeah, >> it's him and Reeba McIntyre.
>> Nice.
>> Yeah, it's that's you guys like throw me another mag. And she's like they're just >> telling you ultimate dude fantasy.
>> Be married to him.
>> No. Red Dawn.
>> Red Dawn being his friend.
>> I think about that. 300 at least.
>> First person I'm calling when cell phones are down. I know where he lives.
Morning. Pack your [ __ ] We're leaving >> in the car.
Hannah's like grabbing pickle ball paddles. No, stop. We don't have You can bring one set. One set, Nicholas. But what shoes do I bring, Hannah? The world is like my mind meteors are falling. And she's like, "Fine, I'll bring two extra sets just in case."
>> Women.
>> Women.
>> Yeah, I'm in a pretty good spot if the world ends. It's a >> good little location.
>> It'll take me a few days to get up here, but I'll figure it out.
>> Figure it out.
>> I'll just head north.
Why don't you just move here?
>> Come on.
>> You'd be way too far away from Disneyland, dude. You'd never do that.
>> You don't even know the things that you're talking. You know what's funny?
>> We were so >> You're a Disney adult.
You're wearing a You're wearing a Superman shirt. You've been to Disneyland four times this year. You're a Disney adult.
>> It is a NASCAR shirt sponsored by Superman. Um >> growing up, did did y'all ever have McDonald's uh when they would uh sell movies? Did you know they did that for a while? Like you could buy you could No, no. They would like >> you paid like $2 or $3 more and you got like a a movie like Ghost 5 years after it came out. I don't know. It was a promo they did.
>> My grandmother would take us like once a month and we get a movie or something and one year they did a promotion with Disney and it was Mickey walking you around the park to everywhere. I mean I I'd heard about Disney World, you know.
I knew there was Disneyland and Disney World and I was like, "Well, that one's closer. That's where I'll probably go."
And he's like, "Ha, hi guys. Come with me to the Haunted Mansion." Or like, and it shows him in the Haunted Mansion. I'm like, "Dude, that'd be so cool." Like, one day I'd go to Disney. Jump cut. Me and Live at the Haunted Mansion.
All right, girls.
Let's go see what's in here. Like, it's I've done it so many times. I have so many incredible memories there that I'm tired of going there. But it's cool.
>> Literally, every time I call you >> this time of year, yeah, it's back toback. You're just always at Disney.
>> Well, and this year was uh I can say this now. It was more chaotic uh because of uh we've so my one daughter went to Worlds. Um so it's the international teams, literally teams from all over the world were there and that was one week.
The next week was Summit. So it's um >> Did she beat Bill Bichc's girlfriend?
>> No, but I saw No, but uh >> that's not a joke.
>> That's not a joke.
>> His daughter is in the same competitive bracket as Bill Bellich's girlfriend.
>> Oh my god. Yeah. Um I saw an old guy that I thought was him. Christy was like, "It's not him." And I'm like, >> "There aren't many 70 year olds walking around in the stands being like >> in a in a cut off hoodie."
>> In a cut off hoodie and a hat being like, >> "Hey, which which one which one are you cheering for?
>> Which one are you dating?" None of them.
You per >> It's a 70-year-old trip trying to figure out how to deflate a pom pom. Of course IT'S BILL BICH. WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, >> DUDE? He's shaving the pom pom.
There we go. He just like opens it up, pulls a strip out.
>> There we go.
>> No. Um, >> that's [ __ ] funny. I made that up.
>> Because it's an adult league, so it's basically >> the pro level of the sport. And so they went up and competed. And then the next week is Summit, which is the national level. And so I'm Christy left a few days before me. I had to stay home with my oldest. She had some stuff she had to do.
>> I'm sorry. Is this Is this the same daughter?
>> No. Uh, that's Audrey. So, one competed at worlds, one competed in nationals.
Okay. I I was confused. I thought you were saying she went to compete in worlds and then she had to compete in nationals. I was like, that doesn't make sense. I feel like if you win in worlds, you should just there's no >> world is the goal for them, right? And so, >> younger daughter was at nationals.
>> Audrey, the youngest. And um >> so Melissa had to stay back. She had stuff because she's getting ready to go to college and stuff. So, there's all sorts of things that are happening with that. Blah blah blah. Anyways, Christy leaves on a Wednesday. So she's she did like a like five days one week and then like four day uh six or seven days the next week. And so when I get down there when I'm literally boarding the plane is when people are getting the text messages about Spirit Airlines shutting down.
>> Like you walk in and all the screens were like go. They were literally telling people just go home. You have no flight. So it was insane in the airport because every other airline was like >> welcome. Let's go. We'll take you. By the way, it's going to cost a [ __ ] ton more than you were paying at Spirit. So much so that they cancelled uh my uh youngest daughter's companion pass because they were selling tickets because apparently they can cancel that stuff at will. Did >> you see Did you see the Delta thing?
>> What did Delta say?
>> Spirit Airlines shut down the next day.
Delta, we're not giving out free snacks anymore.
It's like the airlines are now des trying to figure out who's going to become the new Spirit Airlines and Delta just said not it.
>> Not it, baby. Hey, it wasn't it wasn't it flying in, was it, bro? You know what I mean? Me and BL said there pretty. Uh, but no, because people were like panicking cuz half of them flew down like they flew down on like a Wednesday on a Spirit flight and then they didn't have a way to get back.
>> Damn.
>> Like by Friday. So, and it's all Elizabeth Warren's fault. So people were kind of glossing over that, but she created a monopoly >> like act. Do you know that?
>> No.
>> Okay. So, all right. Here's what happened. I did a cursory deep dive on it.
>> JetBlue was trying to buy Spirit Airlines for whatever amount of money and uh Elizabeth Warren stepped in because she said it they will no longer have reduced fees and that it'll basically not allow people to fly anymore. And JetBlue's position was they might exist if we buy them. We we could do this. Their fees will go up, but like they're not talking about like doubling. They're just talking about enough to like maintain.
They'd have more tickets, more inventory, so forth and so on. And she full-on blocked that from happening.
>> Damn.
>> So, by not wanting to create a monopoly, >> in an effort to preserve cheap flights, she got rid of all the cheap flights.
>> Yes, >> that makes a lot of sense if you don't think about it. She tried she she tried to do uh what's it what's it called where it's a fixed rent. She tried to use the fixed rent income or strategy on flights and then just bankrupt the [ __ ] airline. Now it doesn't exist.
>> And I'm not a government bailout guy at all.
>> It's just kind of insane that some like random senator or congress person.
>> She's a senator. some random senator can dictate thousands of jobs not existing underneath the guise of like oh this will help people. Meanwhile, everyone at Spirit was like we could actually use this. They could like it's like anything else. A bigger company absorbs you. They can cut their cost blah blah blah and so they can have more in like all the things that would help. Now it doesn't exist anymore. So we're down another airline again just like how Northwestern went away all those things and now it's just Delta, American, Southwest and United and Alaska.
Damn, >> that's that's it. Which is not a lot. I mean, there's other smaller regional ones like Allegant and other places, but like >> Sun Country, >> but who knows who knows what'll happen for them now. You know what I mean?
Like, >> what's your preferred airline?
>> Preferred airline? Delta.
>> Delta.
>> So, out of Nashville, I don't know how it works, but >> or Alaska. Alaska's good, but it's like a West Coast thing. So, >> I'm usually going east coast a lot of the time >> from Nashville. Anywhere in the southeast, basically from Texas to Florida, Southwest has the most amount of flights available, blah blah blah.
But the second we start going north, they don't have as many direct or direct flights. So like to fly here, Delta, boom, hop on it, come drive down.
>> Really nailed it with the name of that airline, didn't they?
>> Yeah.
>> Southwest.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I >> crazy.
>> Really stuck that [ __ ] landing, didn't they?
>> Yeah, they did. Um, but because like you know when I go to Texas or whatever, it'll be like, "Oh, you can fly Delta if you want to stop in Atlanta, might be at 1 hour layover. Might be one day. Who knows? But at least you're comfortable."
And then you kick over there. That's a six-hour ordeal roughly. I mean, two like an hour and a half and then another hour and a half. I'm not, you know, I'm not doing that. I just hop down. I can go straight to San Antonio, straight to Austin, all the places. But the second I go north, boom, Delta. United's pretty good on the east coast, but Alaska's the move. All west coast. All west coast.
>> I [ __ ] hate flying on any airplane to be fair. But Delta's probably >> Why?
>> The best.
>> Why hate airplanes, dude?
>> Get nervous or what?
>> Yeah.
>> Why?
>> How are you flying?
>> Is it because they take your gun before you get in?
>> Yeah. I can't carry a gun. It's [ __ ] [ __ ] dude.
>> That's it. You're like, I just don't like this.
>> No, I just I'm not a fan of heights. I thought >> when I was like 18 years old, I I knew I was about to have to fly. And I'm like terrified of heights at all. Like scaffolding up in the air. I used to have to go like scissor lift and do catwalks and milright work, you know? I ain't [ __ ] doing it. Put me on the ground. So I had to get on a flight. So I'm like, logically, I need to go skydiving. That'll conquer my fear. So I went skydiving.
Oh my god, [ __ ] that. I'm never doing that again. And sure [ __ ] still just as scared on an airplane. So, I'm fine now.
Obviously, I've been on [ __ ] hundreds of flights, but for like two years, couldn't do it, dude.
>> I'll be honest.
>> Panic attack.
>> I didn't think you were human till this moment. I didn't think you had a fear.
>> Flights can't do it, >> dude. So, a runway just got >> John Madden. Just get a bus >> and a driver. No, >> I'm fine now. I can fly. Like, it doesn't bother me at all now. But >> I'm not crazy about like small planes. I know a lot of people do that. Um, I know one guy who does private planes the right way. That's Kid Rock. He has a 747.
>> It's an actual plane. Like he's like cuz uh good friend of mine, Tim Montana, it is terri he hates flights. He hates airplanes. And he's like he's like the only one I'll ride on is Kid Rocks. I like why? And he goes, "Dude, it's a 747. It's pretty sick." And I was like, "Yeah, that's that's gonna be awesome.
That's like the Austin Powers plane, you know, like >> because that's also like isn't it like like 98% of like plane crashes are it's always like the small Gulfream private jet private jet with 10 people or whatever. It's always like some small [ __ ] It's >> very rarely is it those big commercial airliners?
>> Yes. Um and it's usually like not private pilots, but it's people who are just like individuals flying and stuff.
Um yeah, I'm not doing that.
But >> I don't know. Lately, every time I go to the airport, it's like, will TSA be open? Yes or no? Oh, this happened to me. Leaving Orlando, right? What time do you think is a respectable time for TSA to close down to two lanes?
>> Not >> just pick a time and for for the sake of argument, a PM time.
>> 11.
>> What do you think?
>> Sounds good.
>> 11.
>> Midnight. Midnight.
>> Yeah.
>> 8:30.
>> Damn.
>> That's [ __ ] early.
>> 8:30. And you're like, "Zack, it's because of the budget shut down." Blah, blah, blah. Negative. They were all still standing there cuz they have I think it's mandatory. They didn't leave till like 10 or whatever, but they shut down the whole airport except for two lanes at 8:30. People were losing their minds. No clear, no pre-check, nothing.
They're like general only. And what the [ __ ] am I paying for this [ __ ] for then?
I'm so split on the TSA thing because like on one hand they're not getting paid half the [ __ ] time but on the other hand you have to be there anyway and just do your job. They get back paid but >> Yes.
>> Yeah. No, it's it's a raw deal for sure.
I hate that they've been used as like a political pawn. Um it sucks.
>> It's just another way they use kind of like how they use the military or veterans.
>> Not to [ __ ] on TSA workers, but like >> TSA didn't exist until 911.
>> Mhm.
>> And >> it was just private security, right? You want to know who taught TSA how to [ __ ] do everything? The private security companies that were doing it before 9/11. And people are like, "Oh, 9/11 happened. Obviously, the private security thing didn't work." Like, no.
The reason 9/11 happened is because it was unprecedented. Like, that's the thing that people don't realize. Like, everybody wants to wonder like, how on earth could that have happened? It's because up until that point in time, the conventional knowledge was prior to then anybody that tried to commandeer a plane was a crazy person that wanted to land the [ __ ] plane. So the standard order of operations was okay, humor the guy and then we'll land the plane and when everybody's on the ground safe, we'll [ __ ] arrest him. And that's exactly what they were doing. That's that's why 150 people or whatever on those flights didn't stand up and beat the [ __ ] out of that guy >> because everybody was under the impression of >> we're gonna land somewhere, the cops are going to come in here and arrest him.
>> It's been an inconvenience for me.
>> Up until that point, like nobody had ever seen anything like that. So like that's why that happened. It's not If TSA existed on 911, they wouldn't have stopped that either.
>> Yeah. Like so TSA as a whole shouldn't in my opinion shouldn't be a government agency. It should have just went it should have just stayed private security the entire time.
>> I agree with that especially because it's just a political pony like oh we're not paying them and like that's not great that they can just decide every now and then to shut down something like that at will because it's tied to another bill that's tied to this thing and blah blah blah.
>> Here's my only push back on that. If you hire private entities, each private entity is different at every airport, which means the rules are different.
>> Yes and no. Uh, like I see where you're going, but like >> [ __ ] annoying. It's like, wait, what?
>> Kind of. Sort of. But I mean, realistically, it's going to be like anything else that's private but still regulated by the government. You know what I mean? Like all all the government has to do is step in and be like, "Hey, here's the standard operating procedures for how this is [ __ ] done." There's minimums and there's maximums, but more often than not, people are going with the minimum, whatever the government determines that to be. You know what I mean? Like, >> just because the government steps in as an electrician and tells me, "Hey, here's how you have to wire a house," >> it doesn't mean that the government should step in and be the only employer of electricians so they can oversee the building of a [ __ ] house. No, the government just says, "Hey, >> here's how we're [ __ ] doing this.
This is the minimum requirement. Meet that or exceed it." That's all they have to do with these private security companies.
>> Kind of like what they have for the airlines, right?
>> Kind of like what they do with literally [ __ ] everything. Here's the NEC, the federal electrical code. Your state gets to pick what year they're on depending on the state. And then everybody, that's the minimum. But then municipalities, cities can come in and say, "Hey, here's the city ordinances." So like for example, in Iowa, you can have ROMX just drilled through your joists in your basement and run the wires up into the walls in your house. But in Mason City, Iowa, they've decided no. Oh, if it's in the basement and it's exposed, it can't be ROMX. It has to be in a pipe. So, if I wire a house in Mason City, I have to do that. They've made the made it better or added to it.
>> So, it's same thing.
>> Yeah.
>> Is there anything that the Huh?
>> No. My dad's been trying to build a [ __ ] shed for two months. I was gonna give a soft shout out to the to the uh FDA thing for I gain exped being expedited, but that's >> pretty cool.
>> That's uh the the White House thing. Um that's the only time I can think of in recent history that something's been like cool. Um >> they didn't [ __ ] around for 10 years trying to get it done.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I mean the long and short of it is the FDA is now fasttracking uh clinical trials and studies with Ibagane for mental health and PTSD and addiction and stuff. And I've done it. I've done DMT. I went through the program. Uh they made a documentary about it called In Waves and War. Um you know, a lot of those guys were there and um you know, we even got a call, me and Nick, they were like, "Hey, can you be here tomorrow?" and we couldn't because we were at Cody's wedding and there was literally not a flight available. Like we looked at every scenario like driving blah blah blah blah blah. But um that's the only example that I can think of in recent history where the government's been like this seems to be working. We should try it. And you know Trump literally said he's like yeah I heard about it from Joe Rogan's podcast and like he's like seems good to me and our text message.
>> Huh? That's what he said. Joe Rogan.
>> Yeah. Yeah. He shot him in text message.
He's like, "You should look into this."
He's like, "Okay, the Latrrell brothers, Marcus and Morgan. Morgan's a congressman. He's been doing a lot of work for it. The Capones were there."
Um, you know, that's the only example in recent history. Doesn't mean I love Trump or whatever. I'm not red or blue.
Grow up. I'm just saying >> that's sad that that's the only time I can think of it in recent history. Other than what RF Honestly, what a lot of what RFK is doing is like I'm really impressed. Dude, it's nice seeing a lot of the changes that that he's making and implementing. Like >> you go to the grocery store now and now you can see now you could buy like Cheeto like Cheeto Zero or whatever it's called.
>> Everything's pulling dyes out.
>> Yeah. Everything's pulling dyes out. So you can get chips without the food dye in it.
>> They're already holding them back a lot though.
>> They are still letting him do what he needs to [ __ ] do.
>> No. Yeah, I agree with you a thousand%.
They're they're holding a lot of stuff back.
>> God damn it, Nick. These kids need their red 40.
The only thing it's good for is putting them in some gears and stopping them for fat.
>> No. Every infant the second they're pulled out of their mother should be immediately injected with 50 milligrams of red D40.
>> It's the American way.
>> Does seem that way.
>> It was crazy learning. Will you look this up, boss? I want to get it right.
Uh, it was something like SNAP accounts for like 10% of Coca-Cola's bottom line, I believe.
>> I think that's the exact number.
>> Wait, what?
>> Yeah. Yes. Yes. Snap is the only thing that keeps uh what's the pizza place where they make the pizza fresh in front of you and then you take it home and make it in your >> No, not Papa Murphy's. Yeah.
>> It's the only thing that keeps Papa Murphy's Murphy's in [ __ ] business because it's the only pizza chain that you can buy with EBT.
>> Really?
>> Yes.
>> I didn't know that.
>> Yes. Because the hardline rule forever was you can buy anything as long as it's not hot. So you could buy Papa Murphy's with EBT. It account I looked into it once. I want to say it was 18% of their bottom line was EBT purchases.
>> 40.2%.
>> And it's even funny.
>> How much? 40.2% of US revenue comes from food stamps.
Coca-Cola's US revenue.
>> 40%.
>> 40.2.
>> Yeah.
>> Two to three billion.
>> Holy [ __ ] >> As someone who was on food stamps, government things growing up when I was in the military too, >> I didn't know any of those things. like I was so grateful for it. We wouldn't have had things. We had milk, cheese, and bread. And when I was in the Marines, uh we had um >> every now and then, and I get I get I get slid a few bills to go to the ice cream truck.
>> I take I'd take my mom as like a booklet because it was a booklet. It was hard.
>> And uh she's like, "Only rip the ones out." Sometimes I would sneak a five, dude.
>> Yeah. Because you had to remember when it was big. It was like It was like It honestly looked like an airplane ticket.
You know what I'm talking about? And you >> It's like monopoly money.
>> And you would go up there and you like gauge the line. You'd be like, "Who can understand how this works?" Like cuz you look at ah old people, it's a 50/50.
Young guy, I don't know. Looking for a middle middle ground here.
>> But no, it's it's crazy that so much of that stuff is subsidizing basically poison. And I don't feel like that's the best use of taxpayer money.
>> I think it should be >> fruits, vegetables. I think it should be a lot more like wick.
>> Wick. Wick was specific to like when we formula >> when I was in high school. It was like it was like a check and it was like this is good for formula, whole milk, this quality of bread, this type of like fresh fruit, fresh vegetable, blah blah blah blah like actual healthy [ __ ] And it's like >> I don't know. I feel like that's what it should be. Like >> yes.
>> [ __ ] being on a diet, dude, and actually like trying to look at calories and [ __ ] and it's like holy [ __ ] Christ. A Twinkie has as many calories as like an enormous chicken breast and it's not good for you know what I mean?
Just like some of the [ __ ] is like >> no wonder so many people are [ __ ] fat. Like >> but how did that get in there? How did that get in there?
>> Oh, if you want to get some fruits, vegetables, Coca-Cola, you know, help yourself, you know.
>> What was the other thing? I think uh >> I think they were trying to make it so you couldn't buy like potato chips and [ __ ] with EDT and then as soon as they announced it, Lays like reduced their pricing. across the board. And it's like, oh, so like >> they know >> you you guys know that you're gonna have to actually compete now and it's not just people spending free money to buy [ __ ] >> also something that you can Google like is that >> how did you find out that it was 46% of Coca-Cola?
>> Uh, just Google it. Yeah, really said how much >> or how much >> Snap account for is with Lays.
>> Check out Lays.
>> Yeah, Snap account.
>> It's probably a lot because that's Pepsi Cola, I believe. I think Lays and Pepsi are the same company maybe. I'm 99% sure I could be way off.
>> 7.2%.
>> That's not half. That's still [ __ ] crazy.
>> Yeah, that's that's huge. That's a lot.
I mean, you put those two 40% or I mean, that's literally >> Now Google do >> Yeah.
>> fruit.
>> Not a chance.
>> Not accepted. Big fruit. Big fruit.
Yeah.
>> That's like the shittiest of fruit though. That's like they add a bunch of preservatives and sugars and >> even like even food that you think is healthy is just [ __ ] ruined. 1.4.
>> Yeah. Total funding.
>> Crazy.
>> But like even food that you think is healthy, >> they [ __ ] ruin factories and [ __ ] Like so for example, >> chicken breast.
>> Okay.
>> You go to the store to buy chicken breast.
>> Yep.
>> Okay.
>> There's the, you know, the store brand whatever the [ __ ] Big humongous chicken breast. Like you think it's healthy and what you don't know is like inside these factories they're I've seen them cuz I've been in these factories. It's literally a tray where it's just like chicken breast spread out on this conveyor belt and this big flat piece of machinery comes down covered in all these needles and it goes and then you just see the chicken breast [ __ ] inflate like they're balloons. Like they inject the chicken breasts with a volumizer to make them look bigger and plumper and then they weigh more and you're paying for chicken by the pound and it's like >> can we just like >> not poison ourselves?
>> Yeah. Like don't put that [ __ ] in there.
Like I don't >> charge me a little bit more and then give me the savings for not injecting volumizer and having to build that [ __ ] machine and everything so you could make three more cents a pound and just charge me three more cents a pound.
I don't know what volumizer is, but unless it's going to my dick, I don't want to eat it, >> right?
>> Like, >> I mean, we do have that option living in Iowa. Like, there's farmers everywhere.
We can >> Well, this is that's the cool part about Iowa is like, >> but I mean, with all of the [ __ ] they're spraying in the [ __ ] fields, all the nitrates in the water, >> the highest cancer rates in the country, >> does it even make a difference anymore?
Cuz even if like my brother raises cattle, if I get half a beef from him and put it in my freezer, does it really make that big of a difference anymore?
Cuz all the [ __ ] [ __ ] and the water and the >> It's It's a good either way. It's It's better. Um, >> so we're dealing with that, too. Like moving out to the country, like our water is pretty bad out that way.
>> So, we recently just purchased a water filtration system >> that still not here. It takes like six to [ __ ] eight weeks for it to get here. But >> that'll help clean up a lot of that water cuz like we just we laid down hydro seed at our new house. Do you know what that is?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> This [ __ ] won't grow if we water it ourselves.
>> Yeah.
>> Because the water is so bad.
>> Damn. And this >> arsenic.
>> Yeah, it rained one time. [ __ ] grass started sprouting. So like the only way we're growing grass is if it continues to rain. That's how [ __ ] bad the water is that we can't even grow [ __ ] grass.
>> This is [ __ ] insane. When are you going to become, you know, the Iowa Senate so you can get rid of some [ __ ] nitrates in this water?
>> If I run for anything, I'd be governor.
>> Governor's that'd be sweet. I'd cap it there. I don't give a [ __ ] about Rhode Island.
You know what I mean? Like Like what's a Delaware? I don't know. A tax shelter.
Like I care about my state. There's a few other states care about. I was up there.
>> I don't know, man. Iowa's weird cuz like Iowa I I think I'm correct on this. I've heard it before. Um Iowa is the most I guess you would say like sci-fi term terraformed chunk of land on the planet.
>> It's all man-made. Like Iowa is legitimately a factory with no [ __ ] walls.
>> Yeah. The whole state.
>> It's all one big [ __ ] corn factory.
>> I mean, my dad owns an excavation company, so I grew up in a dozer just [ __ ] making everything flat, getting rid of trees and waterways and ditches.
It's just nothing's how it's supposed.
>> I'm curious what's going to happen once the soil finally [ __ ] dies off. It can't last forever. chemicals because it's it's the nutrients are pulled out of it, right?
>> Well, Iowa Iowa has arguably like the best soil on the planet >> because >> for thousands of years, Iowa is just one big [ __ ] plane and we had this prairie grass and they've they have a I have a picture of it with me standing next to it. This prairie grass's root network is like 30 feet deep. And the prairie grass is like six, seven, eight feet tall. is this natural prairie grass that was just covering the entire state.
>> They used to say like back in the day when settlers were migrating west that the grass is so tall when they were riding on a horse they could tie it around the horse's neck and it was just the whole state covered in this [ __ ] grass.
>> Well, when this grass for thousands of years dies and the root system decays, all those nutrients go into the soil and that's what's happened for thousands and thousands of years. And that's why the all the dirt in Iowa is black. Like it's not brown like dirt everywhere else.
It's >> No, I've I've seen it when I drive in.
I'm >> good. It looks like >> It looks like potting soil.
>> Yeah, it looks like someone burned the fields everywhere.
>> No, that's just what the color of the [ __ ] dirt here is.
>> Like that's just Iowa [ __ ] dirt from thousands of years of this prairie grass >> living and dying and decomposing. And that's what puts so much nutrients in this soil. But like we pull out so much from corn and everything. And it's the only reason we rotate soybeans through is cuz soybeans actually put nitrates back into the ground. But like >> I don't know. We got to be running a deficit on eating it up at some point with how many millions or hundreds of millions of tons of corn we produce every year.
>> I mean, the only thing that saves us is we're also number one in hog farming and all of that hog [ __ ] gets spread on the fields and that helps keep it black, good soil. But >> how much [ __ ] are we feeding the hogs? Is that doing more harm than good at this point? Well, I do know they're trying to figure out a way to to replace I think it's glyphosate, which is a pesticide that's in everything. And RFK talked about it. He's like, if we pull if we pull the pull it right now, he's like everything will collapse our whole food source. They don't have a good backup plan.
>> They don't have a good two, like a good number two option. So, now they're looking into lasers.
>> I was just going to say the laser thing.
>> No. What? It's a giant imagine just a big um it's it's just a big flat panel that you pull behind a tractor and on the bottom side of this p panel is just [ __ ] lasers and sensors and you pull it across the field and the sensors see bugs and shoot a [ __ ] laser at them.
It's like little Star Wars going on underneath just [ __ ] doing bugs.
>> I was like that's cool.
>> That's sick. And when he talked about it, the only thing the price point's really high right now, but it's something, again, I'm not a government bailout guy, but if they're like, "Listen, we're going to take our taxes.
We're going to dump it into farming lasers."
>> [ __ ] yeah.
>> How do we just do that with the fraud money?
>> You you talking about you talking about the talking about the Minnesota mine?
Yeah.
>> Like, why the [ __ ] do we have to continue to be taxed more?
>> I'm No, I'm saying if someone's like I'm not saying tax more if they're like, "Well, we're moving the taxes over here, not to there or whatever." Yeah, I got you.
>> Hands up for getting the the poison goo out of the soil and doing, you know, Star Wars in a corn field.
>> Yeah, I'm sure between California and Minnesota that could be funded.
>> Dude, Nick, hey, shout out to the boy Nick Shirley, friend of the show. Um, >> can't believe I'd ever see a world where uh the California state government comes out and tries to make a YouTuber illegal.
>> Wait, what the [ __ ] California has like it's I think it's literally like I don't know if it's actually called but it's nicknamed the Nick Shirley bill.
>> Yes.
>> Where it's like you're not allowed to do that kind of investigative journalism if you're not like working for a major news network or something >> and Newsome's going to say that he's not [ __ ] dirty and [ __ ] like that is going on. They're trying to >> somebody that's uncovering their [ __ ] >> The reality of it is he's the most successful politician of the modern era.
Like hands down. He He's evil incarnate, but there's no one who's better than him. And if people don't start like admitting that and addressing that, he's going to be the president someday.
>> Oh, [ __ ] >> Like, that's that's just reality.
Everyone's like, "Oh, he's dumb." He's not dumb. He's very smart. He's very charismatic. He's good-looking. He's intelligent. You got to start if you want to beat someone, you got to like be honest about it. He's very good at it.
Like, >> he they've been pushing this stuff about how um now mothers in California get a year of diapers for free. It's like everyone's like, "Yeah, good job." And he like did like this whole presser about it and stuff and I was like, "Well, who's paying for it?
>> Who's paying? They're paying for it."
But like he's able to finesse every single thing like that. He's like, "Yeah, but we're giving away free diapers, >> you know?" And don't worry about this little [ __ ] I'm sweeping under the >> road. Yeah. Don't worry about the diapers. Yeah. Don't worry about that.
Hey. Hey.
>> I don't know. I went down a rabbit hole listening to how much money they put into that train.
That is [ __ ] crazy, dude.
>> Didn't they start building it when you live there?
>> I think it was in 2008 is when they started the California rail.
>> Is it billions or two billion?
>> Two billion dollars they've spent. They have like a hundred feet of rail done.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, I bet I bet it goes fast.
>> I think that I'm going to do the next bid on the next railroad because I could do 100 feet for $2 billion.
>> I could make it work. I could learn everything about trains. I'm so sick of hearing about like es like Bernie Sanders in particular talking about the price of housing. It's like then get the [ __ ] government out of the way. My dad's been trying to build a [ __ ] shed in his backyard for two months.
>> Like one of the ones that you go to Home Depot and buy for $300 is just a 10 [ __ ] shed to park his lawn mower in.
>> Yeah. It's called a tough shed.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> He has to go to the city to get a permit to build a new structure.
>> [ __ ] no. went to the city.
Oh, we need plans. He's like, it's a [ __ ] shed from an I don't I didn't hire an architect to draw up blueprints.
They're like, doesn't matter. We need plans. So, he went and got the [ __ ] assembly packet out of it and brought that into him.
>> And they're like, "Okay, well, it needs to be five feet from the property line."
And my dad's like, I was just going to put it a foot away from the fence which is on the property line because if it's five feet into the property line, my backyard's not that big. It's just going to be in the middle of my back [ __ ] yard.
>> Doesn't matter. It has to be 5t from the property line.
>> Argues with him for like three weeks.
Finally, somebody from the city comes out and tells him, "Oh yeah, I guess that would be okay."
He's like, "Cool. Can I build it now?"
No, we need to know how you're going to anchor it to the ground. And we need drawings of how we're going to anchor it to the ground. He's like, "It's a [ __ ] shed that comes with four stakes. I was going to drive the stakes into the ground."
>> And the lawn mower, >> we need that drawn up.
>> So, he had to [ __ ] have drawings made of how he was going to drive four stakes into the ground to hold a [ __ ] sheet metal shed to the ground.
>> Had to come back out and approve it again. And then he's like, "Okay, are we good now?" And the lady that came out there, this was two days ago, tells him, "Yes, but after you finish building it, you have to call us and we have to come out and approve it for occupancy." It's a [ __ ] lawn mower shed. Nobody's occupying the lawn mower. It doesn't matter. We have to give the final sign off on this $300 lawn mower. We've spent 4 grand in government people's [ __ ] time >> to tell my dad how to properly assemble a $300 shed from Home Depot. The [ __ ] built 50 bridges that people drive semitrs across. I think he can put together a [ __ ] shed.
>> Sure this isn't California, >> dude. It's insane.
>> I feel like it's just better to do it and ask for forgiveness and pay the [ __ ] fee cuz absolutely not.
Permission to do [ __ ] in my own [ __ ] yard. No, >> I I did do that in my old neighborhood.
My HOA said, "Was that approved?" And I go, "Yeah, sure."
>> They go, "By who?" And I go, "By me."
"Yeah, look." You know, it was like right, you know how your fireplace like cuts out? I put it behind the fireplace.
They're like, "Oh, you got to get this stuff approved." And I was like, "No, I don't."
>> Near the HOA is an old farmhouse. It's like you basically have now you have to basically drive through this HOA to get to this old farmhouse.
>> Basically, they took this guy's old like two-m long driveway that's now the main entrance to this HOA. and he still has his his house back there. He is not part of the HOA. Never has been.
>> Nice. He's upping it.
>> Years go by, no issue. And then as the HOA continues to grow and somebody with a hair up their ass starts trying to tell him what to do when he's not part of the HOA, >> he says, "Go [ __ ] yourself."
Cool. They try to fine him. [ __ ] you.
I'm not part of your club. So then they take him to court.
They lose >> because [ __ ] obviously.
>> Mhm.
>> He has since painted his entire residence Barney [ __ ] purple just to piss them off. And I love it.
>> Dude, get this guy on the podcast.
>> Go get him a beer. [ __ ] yeah. Good.
>> That's awesome. I hate HOAs so much. The only thing that I hate more than them is I'm sure how much they hate me. It took >> about three months for them to decide on the color of my roof after it was being repaired.
>> I mean, I had got it cleared to be repaired. Everything else, >> they had to decide on the roof color to make sure >> that it doesn't impact home value. And I was like, well, I'm sure everyone involved with this is a real estate agent or has like a background and this type of stuff. Surely they would have opinions on this that matter to want to talk to me about the color of my roof.
like a storm came through. Millions of dollars of repairs came through my neighborhood all over the town.
Come to find out, nope, just a bunch of random people in the neighborhood.
>> And you're like, "Zack, was it a different color? Was it like, you know, polka dot or whatever?" No, it was black. Just like we literally drove to a house across the street that they had picked this exact same color because we were looking at like what it looked like on a different house. Black. They had It took them months to decide. Oh, yeah.
You're good. you can do it. Like it took so long that the uh >> God >> the roofing guy I could tell he was like, "Are y'all [ __ ] me?" Like he like he had like scheduled the work and he was like, "We just need to order the stuff." And I was like, "Dude, we don't they they won't contact they won't talk to us. They won't tell us what color to pick." And he's like, "Are you dealing with that kind of stuff out your way?"
>> [ __ ] no.
>> He lives out in the country. He can do whatever the [ __ ] he wants.
>> He lives out in the middle of nowhere.
>> How many rounds do you go through a week >> right now?
>> Way more than I should be. It's hard to breathe. I could feel it in my lungs. I need to chill the [ __ ] out.
>> You need to get check You gonna get checked out?
>> No, I'm not. I don't want to know.
>> No, that's one way to deal with it.
>> Cuts himself. Lead just falls out.
>> Tink tink tink tink.
>> What's a lot? I want to know. 5,000 10,000.
>> I really don't know. I mean, I get sponsored 8,000 a month and I probably buy another 8,000. So, I go through all of it a month.
>> Okay. Yeah, I would. Yeah, hit up a doctor.
>> All right. I don't know.
>> So, the stuff that I do buy, I buy copper and lead free from federal. So, >> okay.
>> Not as bad if I'm just out there planking by myself like practicing and [ __ ] I'm using copper projectiles.
>> Okay. Hey, I don't know if copper poisoning is a thing, but don't want you to turn orange like a guy who has too much carrot juice every day or something, you know?
>> No.
>> We need you on our team. Okay.
And then uh I take like the bullseye [ __ ] >> supposed to every day, but >> I mean I'm trying a little bit slightly.
>> What have you been taking?
>> Detox like metal detox >> like to the magnet. Did do the radars go off at the [ __ ] airport when you walk through? Nothing that bad yet.
>> I bet those detox molecules are like >> all I can think of is the end of Terminator 3 >> where like she runs next to the big magnet and gets stuck to it. That's you, >> dude. I got like pieces of shrapnel stuck in my fingers, my thighs. Like I can I got a big ass piece of bolt right here in the middle finger. I'm surprised like that doesn't set off detectors.
That's [ __ ] metal. It's a chunk of bolt.
>> It's probably fused to your bone like Wolverine now.
>> No, I can still wiggle it around. I can feel it.
>> That's even crazier.
>> God, I was I was trying to leave Savannah, Georgia.
And I my bag got dinged. 50-50 shot. My bag I'm I had like a a tub of creatine or something. Like completely reasonable for TSA to be like, why why do you have a pound of powder in your bag? Like not mad at them at all. But >> my business >> somebody else is getting their bag gone through and I can't get my bag gone through until that guy gets the [ __ ] out of the way. And it's some [ __ ] meatthead who has a freezer Ziploc bag full of what appears to be protein powder arguing with TSA about them not wanting to let him bring >> a freezer bag of powder that's unlabeled through the thing and I'm just sitting like this throw it away. Buy more where you're going. Like I don't I don't have time for this. I'm going to miss my flight because you wanted to bring a freezer bag full of protein powder.
>> Please I'll I'll pay for it right now.
It'll be at your house in 20 minutes.
>> It's not even that. It's just >> I don't understand the psychology that goes into somebody that tries to argue with the TSA and thinks they're going to win.
>> I've never seen it happen.
>> I have never won.
>> I've never seen them want win. I've seen plenty of people argue.
>> It's just like, >> bro, this is like getting pulled over.
Like, this is not This is going to go how they want it or worse.
>> Like, this is the only like throw it away or ask if you can mail it back.
Those are your only options. cuz you're just wasting everybody else's time right now.
>> What's interesting is in Nashville, the number one thing I've seen people get stopped for booze.
Booze. They're all taking like half open bottles of booze. And it's not like this came from the distiller. This is like one of one or one of 10. Most of it's like just half drank bottles of Jack Daniels or like a few open beers. I'm like, >> oops, >> dude. Is this like >> do they not have Bud Light where you're from? I'm like, I don't understand.
>> You know what happened last time I went to Nashville?
>> What?
>> I got my bag got dinged again. Again, not completely reasonable on TSA's part.
Um, >> four people in front of me in line to get the bags gone through.
>> First person, >> candles.
>> All right, that's weird. Whatever.
Second person, candles.
What the [ __ ] is going? Third person.
Candles.
>> The [ __ ] >> Fourth person. Is there a candle convention or something? Yeah, actually.
We're all from a show.
>> What the [ __ ] >> Big candle.
>> Then they got the airbag.
>> Big candle weekend, I guess.
>> Big candle weekend here in Nashville, dude.
>> What a random thing to happen.
>> That's [ __ ] weird.
>> No, it's I mean, >> but every time we go through, it's [ __ ] perfect. Kick it.
>> Nashville's got a nice airport.
>> It's right.
>> Yeah, Nashville's nice.
>> Every time I go, we So, we got dropped off at like the farthest terminal. We walked so long. At one point, me and Blaz looked at each other and I go, I don't think we're going to make it.
>> Like, cuz we we just skipped around and blah blah blah. And I'm amazed at like how much mall space there is in MSP compared to Nashville. There's just like restaurants here, restaurants there.
>> MSP is huge.
>> It's insane. MSP is huge. And they're adding. Yeah, they're adding more. But there's like that whole little courtyard area by the Starbucks and stuff. And I'm like, who's kicking back in here? They have two Sky Clubs. We found out know about that. It was It was wild.
>> MSP is huge. It's It's like a major [ __ ] hub up here.
>> It's Chicago and MSP or the big ones.
>> Especially if you're trying to go like up to Alaska or all the other pl, you know what I mean?
>> I did see a sign for Saskatoon, which I thought was a madeup city till that moment. like like want to go to Saskatoon? I thought it was just like a funny Canadian joke, >> you know? I I didn't know that was real at all. Like it's I don't know. I try to get better about flying. Me and BL are great at it. We have a system. We're obviously coupled up. That way we don't have to do airport conversations. You know, >> I literally It's gotten to the point where I actually look forward to our flights.
>> Yeah.
No matter the weather, if it's 9 degrees outside or 900 degrees outside, my man's popping a hoodie. Yeah.
>> He gets on there and then I can hear the like airport conversations around us. I just go and I put my headphones on and >> my hoodie goes up.
>> His hoodie goes up. His his AirPods go in and we're just sitting there and I I'll be like, "He'll have a coffee. I'll have a Coke Zero. Thank you so much."
And then we just sleep and around us everyone's like, "Yeah, so I'm in finance, dude. It's it's really fun.
What do you do, man? Yeah, dude. I can't wait to get the boat on the water. Big water dog. You know what I mean? I'm working for next year. My commission is doing 20% and like I'm banging my head against the side of the cuz I'm convinced big uh noise cancelling headphones are changing now because I can hear all announcements and everything and just me and blah just like this. Like we look like we're melted. It's it's perfect. We have a full-blown system.
>> It works great. I suggest having a travel companion because it cuts out anyone being like, "Hey, what do you do?" Especially you. Tattoos are a dead giveaway. The booms love tattoos and they want to talk about it.
>> It's true.
>> They love them. If also only like people have come up to me like, "What's that? What's that?" And I'm like, "Ah, it's nothing. It's, you know, I'm a raven. I just make up stuff on the spot usually. I am darkness incarnate. That's what that means." And they're like, "Oh, okay." And I'm like, "I just got to go, man. Let me go. I got to go see my boys in Iowa. And you know where I want to see you over at pepperbox.tv where you can find the exclusive underwhelming after show. Your favorite Pepperbox exclusive. Actually, if you got to pick another one. You know what I'm talking about. Fat Pews. We got that there and also everything Pew View is doing. Hopefully put Miss Andell in there too. Maybe.
>> Yeah, absolutely. We're missive over there too.
>> It's going to be a good time. Thank you for joining us. We're going to head over there now. I of course am the Gwy Jack Harlo joined by the warden of wattage blaz on the wheels and pew view with all the thrills. Thank you so much. That's how it's done.
>> Okay. Bye >> bye. Bye.
