We love ya fam, and we'll talk to you next year.
A belated happy Yule and Merry Christmas to you all.
And happy new year too by the time most of you hear this.
Mild apologies for the minor hiatus since last show too.
It's not only a joyous time of year, but also a busy one.
From work to family to travel to preparing for the big guy's arrival with one believer still under our roof.
And I trust you had plenty going on too.
As we enter 2025 and look at the big picture, I can't help but feel a mild deja vu from eight years ago.
Trump is inbound again, promising at least a significant symbolic departure from the Biden regime.
I will head into DC for the inauguration again, in case you want to meet up and hang out there, but it's out of a bemused curiosity instead of great expectations.
This time around, I barely give a rat's ass, and it was funny to see the MAGA peasant revolt, or digital poogram, if you prefer, over the H-1B issue before Trump has even taken office.
Last time, it took at least a few months of the new administration for the first betrayals to become apparent.
So here we go again, another four years of drama, entertainment, and a feeling of constantly needing to supposedly pressure Trump and the Republican Party against selling us out, rewarding their donors, and of course, giving the worst people on earth everything they want.
But it is the Christmas season.
So we will talk a little bit about that and a lot perhaps about our little platoons of families, networks, friends, and struggles and victories this week.
And lo, Jim from the Fatherland is back, and Jo is slated to stop by later.
So buckle up, and Mr. Producer, hit it.
Welcome, everyone, to Full House, the world's most sincere show for white fathers, aspiring ones, and the whole biofam.
It is episode 203, and I'm your laid-back host, Coach Finstock, back with another hour, probably two, of if nothing else, being relatable dads in a world gone mad.
Before we meet the birth panel this week, though, big thanks to unsung, Anon Commando, Ravenkeeper, King Charles, Rusty R, and Anonymous King, and Malta for their Christmas cheer over the past couple weeks.
And Malta in particular is now the official sponsor of the new mic that is on the table in front of me right now.
I'll call it the Maltese Falcon at least this episode.
I don't know if that'll be a recurring feature as I talk about the mic, but it's wonderful.
Thank you, buddy.
He came out of the woodwork and just said, hey, coach, I want to buy the mic.
And I warned him about the curse that when you buy someone a mic, that they almost always ghost.
And I was not particularly enthusiastic about recording the past week or two.
So anyway, I'm fighting back against the curse.
And with that, we'll get cracking.
First up, he's the king of Christmas, and it's that simple.
Sam, welcome back, brother.
Thanks, Coach.
Hey, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
It's certainly been a whirlwind of preparations and execution of the holiday.
Maybe we talk about that later with Jim.
We started to touch on it coming into the show.
But yeah, it's just it's just such a crazy time, you know, getting ready and buying gifts and parties popping up, but trying to stay on track.
You know, if you're a good Catholic, then you're trying to keep with the spirit of Advent, which is a sober time.
And, you know, there's, at least for me, there's like a real danger in it.
Like, because I'm prone to the melancholy, you know, you get so revved up and amped up about something that when it comes, there's like almost an anticlimactic feeling about it, you know, and it's there's like a lot of emotions wrapped up in it.
And so I've managed it pretty pretty well, but the entire December was just so busy with activities, events.
You know, come the end of the year, I always try to get in my annual doctor's visit, you know, which everything is good there.
And I even, I have a dermatology appointment I keep every year because many, many years ago, I had a cancerous mole taken off, you know, so I always keep that.
But everything's coming in at the end of the year.
You know, you got to get it in by the end of the year.
And then you have Christmas and you have relatives and it's wonderful in a lot of ways.
It's fun, but there's also like this just getting swept away with it.
So that's what I've been going through.
Amen, Sam.
And I got to ask, because it's coming up for me too, are you up into the territory of where that annual visit means up the rear and prostate rubs?
Or they, I know with the prostate, they can like just test your urine now, but colonoscopy is no fun.
It's not an annual thing, is it?
No, no, no.
It's, well, now they, they, uh, they measure what they call the PSA.
I'm not sure what that exactly stands for, but that's how they-service announcement.
Yeah.
That's how they check your prostate now.
I mean, it's very subjective.
I mean, you could do it yourself if you're into that kind of thing, I guess.
But, you know, I mean, they measure it more scientifically, though I think some people do believe in the digital, as they call it, digital, different type of digital exam.
I don't, I'm not into that.
So I just say, hey, go with the PSAs.
When you get the colonoscopy, they will check that anyways.
And when you're 50 is really when you should start.
And then if they have to, you know, sometimes they find a little polyp or something there, they have to take it.
Then they'll keep you on a shorter schedule, like, you know, five years.
And if you're, if you're good, they'll let you go seven years.
But the colonoscopy is nothing at all.
It's the preparation of it that's kind of a pain in the ass, no pun intended.
Lots of evacuations.
Well, you have to fast and you have to take the metamucil mixed in the Gatorade.
So it's just, you have to do this every so many hours for maybe 12 hours before the procedure, but the procedure is like nothing.
You don't even know it's done.
It's like takes a couple minutes and you're done and that's it.
So it's really the prep that's that's the not fun part of it.
But, you know, no, it's nothing at all.
Nobody should even hesitate.
Like I say, you're, you're not conscious for it and it just takes a minute and it's something that is might save your life depending on your family history and everything.
So yeah.
Thank you, Sam.
Yeah.
So Merry Christmas.
I don't know how we got.
Sorry.
Well, you know, I've had, I had a, I'll talk about it later.
I had a little genital malady.
I'll leave it in that right there, but it got me thinking.
Yeah, from going from the revolutionary overthrow Jewish power podcast to now old man health for the two of us.
Anyway, thank you, Sam Baby.
We will talk about Christmas later.
I didn't mean to get all scatological, not eschatological, to kick us up there.
Next up, I received a nice Christmas card from Sam and his family this year, and his must surely be just temporarily held up in the mail.
Perhaps that Canadian postal strike.
Rolo, welcome back.
Belated Merry Christmas.
Oh, Merry Christmas.
Yeah, it's in the, you know, of course.
It's in the mail.
Yes.
Forget your address or anything.
What's new in your world?
I saw a movie yesterday.
Oh, first time for everything.
I went to the theaters and watched a movie.
Sonic 3, Mufasa.
I know what's in the theaters because the kids went with grandma a couple days ago.
Nasferatu.
Ah, I should have known.
Look good.
Look Robert Edgar's.
Yeah, it was good, but to me, the most remarkable thing about it was that there wasn't a single non-white in it.
Cool.
Even the gypsies looked to be some kind of Eastern European because it was filmed in the Czech Republic.
So I would guess that the gypsies were just local Czech people.
Sure.
They clap some brown on them.
Yeah.
And it's a funny contrast with the movie.
I don't remember if it came out earlier this year, maybe last year.
It was called The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
And it was basically about the boat and what happened to the people on the boat transporting Dracula from Transylvania to England.
And the lead in that is the heroic black man.
And then that movie bombed horribly.
Yeah, the reviews did not look good on that.
Did you find it somewhat odd to be releasing Nosferatu at Christmas?
I mean, Edgar's is a hell of a director.
I didn't know in it.
Okay.
Yeah, my panties weren't a bunch about it, but the critiques I saw was that it struggled so mightily to stay true to the original.
Of course, you know, one of the greatest original horror movies of all time.
But was it?
Supposedly.
I mean, it's like it's just one of them.
It's just one of the earliest.
Do you know the story of Nosferatu?
Like the movie?
Not really.
Go ahead.
So, so yeah, all it was, it was Dracula.
And they didn't have the rights to the book.
So they just changed it slightly.
Like, what can we get away with?
And it's just Dracula.
And it's notable for how it looked because they used the long shadows and distorted angles and that they call it German expressionism.
And that's that's all it was.
It's if you watched it, you would, I don't know, you'd probably fall asleep 10 minutes in.
Somebody said that Nosferato looks like Jim Carrey from the Sonic movies.
I don't know.
I had that thought.
I did have that thought because he has a huge mustache.
And I thought, yep, that is the that is the Dr. Eggman mustache.
And I thought it was the coolest vampire that I've ever seen.
Cool.
All right.
Yeah.
I will check that out, not in theaters, but when it's available online, ideally for free, of course.
Well, welcome back, buddy.
And finally, our very special guest.
This is turning into, I think this is the third Christmas season in a row.
Oh, we're getting a little feedback there.
He's rusty, folks, but he is the progenitor, patriarch, and professional founder of the Fatherland Show, the show that motivated me to the cost.
Oh, Jim, we're getting some feedback there.
But anyway, welcome, Jim, and damn glad to have you.
All right.
I'm going to didn't show up in pre, so I have no idea what the problem is.
Thanks.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, son of a bitch.
It disappeared.
Anyway, you had the helm last year, Jim, and it was a lot of fun to just turn it over and be a guest again, like the good old days.
So just briefly at the top, are you at the ownership portion of rent to own?
You still fostering?
That was a big chunk of the show last year.
Yeah, well, we're in the transitional period right now on that.
I still see, what do they call him?
Reinhold?
We still see him regularly.
His parents are doing well.
They're both working hard.
They're both off of the stuff and no signs of them backsliding or anything like that, which we really like.
He's a great kid.
He's two years old and strong as a bull and 100% German phenotype.
And we just saw him just last week.
We had him for practically the whole day.
And he's a lot to keep up with, but great kid.
So yeah, as far as getting new kids, we're in a transition period on that right now because the county is dropping county supported services and going entirely over to agencies, which is, you know, what they used to call orphanages back in the 1920s.
We're going back to that.
Outsourcing strikes again, I guess.
Outsourcing, exactly.
Which, you know.
But, you know, and so we're still kind of, me and my wife are still kind of keeping our hands in, but we're also looking at each other.
We're like, you know, are we too old for this?
Like, sure.
I mean, because we already have both of our foster children that we did.
I mean, I'm not going to try to put a pin of metal on myself for being like a big hero or anything.
Don't get me wrong.
But we had two and they're both still in our lives.
And so it's like, maybe this is as big as our family needs to be.
It's a lot to keep up with already.
So, you know, but it's settled.
And I mean that with no disrespect or not cheekly.
Yeah.
It's kind of a cool thing.
I think that depending on where you live, if you live in an area that's very white, if you live in an area that has a major heroin problem, being a foster parent is a very good idea.
Especially appropriate for this time of year.
You know, we're running the hazard.
You're older than me and younger than Sam.
So we've got, you know, three old heads here and then Rolo out playing whatever it is that he plays.
And before the show, you were saying, you were saying something before the show that five years ago, I would have said, come on, Jim, like get your head, like get back in the game, you know, like suck it up.
But you were like, you know, we need to build up our families, build up our financial security, get ready to weather the storm to come.
And I've never lied to the audience on the show that I'm aware of.
And I'm kind of right there with you, big guy.
It's something about getting older.
Sam might be revolting here more than me, but another four years of Trump, getting older, kids growing up and getting that anxiousness about holy cow, juniors going to be in high school fairly soon.
Time's a ticking.
The grave is getting closer.
I agree with you.
Anyway, I don't want to demotivate the audience.
It's just sort of the circle of life.
Wow.
Nothing to be demotivated about.
You got to be reckless.
You know, I'm, I, I'm, uh, you know, damn the torpedoes.
I'm, I'm charging in.
That's how you got to look at it.
There you go, Sam.
What I would say is it's all about stations in life.
You know, I'm not that old, although I act like I am.
But at the same time, I'm not necessarily going to be one of those guys that's running around out in the woods and digging a hole in the dirt and like crawling into it.
No.
But my children, I'm very concerned for them.
You have to prepare.
Look, like with the way that things are going, it's very clear that we have very little ability to direct what's happening as much as we might like to think that we do.
It's a house of mirrors.
Every time you think you're making something happen, you turn around and all of a sudden you realize it was all a, it was all a game.
It was a trick.
And, you know, so you have to focus on what's real.
And you focus on what's real, build up your network, build up your people.
And look, I'm terrible at that.
So don't take it as me being some kind of hypocrite for saying that.
What I'm telling you is I may not be able to do it, but I can see what needs to be done.
That's the kind of thing that we all need to be doing in whatever capacity that we can and be ready to do whatever it takes.
I mean, I don't know.
I could go on.
Amen.
I think a lot of us in the past or in the present, and we're going to segue into the Musk and the H-1B brouhaha here.
It was a lot of fun.
Oh, absolutely.
It was the biggest happening on social media in terms of policy and, you know, just tailor-made for it was a racial and an immigration and a nationalism issue and just pushing back on the scum sucking infantile, money-grubbing tech and Indian worst people of the world.
But to be honest, it was a lot of fun pushing back on them and they heard it.
And Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, just today shut them all down and basically said, no posting on social media until your confirmation hearings are over, essentially saying, you know, you caused this massive headache.
So it was a headache for them.
But at the same time, to your point, do they really care about what a bunch of people on Twitter say?
Some of the, some of the, you know, if you're under your real name and you're prominent and you're involved and you're still considered loyal to Trump and MAGA, then you could have some influence.
But if to have influence in the United States political system as an outsider or in any way as an insider, to be an insider requires surrendering yourself, your honesty, your pride, your principles, and pushing back occasionally.
But I guess we could just do it right now.
I mean, let me just say one thing real quick, please.
I just want to say this just as a response to you.
And it just occurred to me.
Do you remember back in the day that meme and that this train has no brakes?
Right.
Of course.
And yes, that was right.
This train has no brakes.
I don't think we can stop it.
I think this thing is a self-licking ice cream cone.
It to use a boomer metaphor.
It is unstoppable.
We cannot, everything, all the math, all the systems are all pointed in this direction.
I don't think we can stop it.
And I hate to say that.
I'd like to say that there's a way that all we need is a Luke Skywalker to shoot the little thing down the Death Star's butthole and blow it up and end it.
That's what everybody wants, whether they want to admit it or not.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I think we just, everybody just has to endure and be resilient.
And I don't like to say that, but I, you know.
Hey, Elon Musk, the guy who on paper, at least, is the paragon of who you might think might be the one, right?
You know, he knew the realities of race in South Africa.
He's an industrialist.
He's filthy, stinking rich.
He's committed some mild thought crime.
Who do you think controls the media?
Hello.
You know, these little breadcrumbs that people really all a game.
Like somebody, who was at the point of that, was that Shadowman?
I don't know.
I think it was Shadowman, broke it down.
He doesn't do long posting, but he just does little bits.
Maybe he just reposted somebody, but it was like, he's like, look, like all this guy had to do was he just had to go and be like, oh, interesting.
Like, all he had to do was just be like, oh, look, everybody.
Look, just here's a, here's a little crumb.
Here's a little crumb.
And then everybody's like, oh, the crumb.
Oh, freaked out.
That's how desperate everybody is for just one member of the nobility to recognize them and say, oh, these are my people.
And fake.
All of it.
Rolo was a champ and excerpted the two or three minutes summary I did of Musk after listening to Isaacson's biography of him.
I thought it was maybe earlier this year.
It went all the way back to October 2023.
Maybe we'll tap it on at the end of the show so you can hear it.
But I thought, you know what?
I don't remember what I said there, but I'm pretty sure I was in the ballpark.
And it was essentially that this guy is anti-racist because his father was a racist and he cares about getting to Mars and his own grandiosity more than anything else.
He would sell his children.
He would betray his race.
He would do anything for Jewish funds to keep his project, his self-aggrandizing project going and the true colors coming through from him, both as the asinine, inane Reddit tear.
That sounds, he sounded like a teenage girl.
That sounds so racist.
100%.
I have never, look, when I was a kid, and this is in the 80s, I used to go to the high school, the library in my school and pull out books by Ray Bradbury.
loved roy bradbury read his complete works cover to cover multiple times the magic of space exploration yes this is the destiny of man this mother mother foyer has completely ruined that for me disgusting like this is like this is all he cares about like oh if we can just get off this planet i don't care what it takes like Can you imagine?
Like, congratulations.
You jag off.
I know.
We're like the black people.
The black people in the 60s during the moon.
We're like, who cares about the moon?
We got problems down here on Earth.
It's like, I will gladly sacrifice never seeing a human landing on Mars to have just slightly better demographics in the country for my kid.
His vision of the future is a Pajit Mars.
Like, what's the point?
Like, you, you totally missed the point.
This guy is, he's, you know, well, he does drugs.
He does too many drugs.
Let's face it.
Somebody said he's got to be just sitting there in his PJs in his room playing video games and hosting spaces on X. By the way, I want to point out, it actually seems like he doesn't play video games.
And hold on a minute.
Hold on a minute.
No, no, no.
Oh, no, he's not.
I'm just no, no, no, he's not.
It actually came out that he was cheating.
So most likely he hires other people to do it.
And it looks like he does that to seem more relatable because he's even better.
He's tweets hundreds of things a day and he runs Tesla and SpaceX and Doge.
And he has time to play 80 hours of video games a week.
That seems very, very suspicious.
Oh, wow.
I can't even.
I literally can't even.
He hires Pajites to play video games for him.
They don't have to be Pajites.
It could be Korean.
Oh, really?
Really?
Who else would it be?
Filipinos, maybe?
Koreans.
I guess.
Koreans.
Yeah, they're good at that.
Koreans are all busy trying to rank themselves up on StarCraft.
Well, yeah.
And then now, and then now this is the dream.
He pays them to do that.
That's their prose now.
It was so bad.
I've never seen anything like it.
And just so the audience remembers what kicked it off, you know, where did this H-1B thing come from?
Trump, it goes back to Trump, who's been completely silent on the brouhaha, Mr. Social Media, Mr. Incoming President with an opinion on everything, just sort of kicking back in his PJs at Mar-a-Lago, watching Fox News.
And then his only comment was, I love the H-1B program, but he appointed this.
Like, it really takes something to be the ugliest Indian man alive.
And he appointed that guy to some AI office to work under David Sachs, of course.
And immediately said Indian proposes removing the H-1B caps, which are something, you know, they're like, it has to be less than 90,000.
The current numbers are 60 to 70.
I thought he said no cap.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
No cap.
Yeah.
Remove the caps on H1Bs.
Exactly.
Well, there's something I don't understand about this H-1B.
I have worked with Indian software developers because of an industrial purpose.
And, you know, we had an Indian group of developers work on and develop an application that we needed.
In the course of, it was over a year, but in the course of, let's say, a year and a half, I saw one person one time in the flesh.
Everything else was done on Zoom calls and they just did things.
Then we communicated online.
We did have some Zoom meetings, but why do these people need to come to this country to do this type of work?
They can do it in India, I believe, right?
Yes.
Zoom calls, emails, Slack, you name it.
So I don't understand that, you know, if you felt you needed to use people like that, then why do they need to be in this country?
Don't be coy, Sam.
You know the answer.
Yeah.
Well, that's been the shell game is them trying to convince people that they're not in the country just for cheap labor for corporations to make easy quick profit.
I mean, I'm sorry that I'm becoming more and more convinced that that is the history of this continent, both of the continents in this entire history of this hemisphere is pretty small for less cost.
Yeah.
Slavery, exploitation, naked capitalism.
Because we don't want these, we do not want these people here.
We just saw in Madderberg, Germany, an Arab doctor just slaughtered 80 people.
A few of a number of them are dead and many of them are very seriously injured.
We don't want to be a nine-year-old boy.
We do not want these non-whites here.
The educated ones, the non-educated ones, doesn't matter to me.
We do not want these non-whites here, period.
Silverlining to all this is that this debate would not have happened had Kamala won.
Now, I'm not whistling past the graveyard or trying to smell roses where there's I am.
I don't actually this is a great thing, by the way.
Oh, I don't know if it's a great thing because I think that they're gonna either amnesty or mass legal immigration, right?
But at least for half either way, yeah, but now people are seeing it, and it's not just us for the first time.
It's not just us that are seeing it, like his own base immediately.
Like, I so my story of I was so into Trump 2016, like, yeah, this is the guy.
And then when he launched the missiles at Syria, oh, my heart fell, like it sank into my chest.
But then I did the whole, the co-play.
Well, you know, it was an empty airfield.
He has to do that.
But what, but once, once he opened up the government and didn't get funding for the law, I'm like, okay, this is all a sham.
Nothing, nothing.
So that's how long it took for me to realize, okay, Trump is nothing.
He's, he's a fraud.
He's a charlatan, whatever.
Nobody should be ashamed about that, by the way.
No, no, no, no, of course not.
I mean, we, a lot of people got duped, but this is like the first time that his base saw it and turned on him.
Like they, like, they all did it.
They were all just like, no, no, no, no, we don't want this.
We want no immigration.
Let's correct.
It wasn't just that right now.
It was coming back on the house.
The mother flubber is not even be inaugurated.
Uh-huh.
The Roscat Dahita's re and roll back on it.
And it rattled his cage too.
For whatever, I haven't listened to spaces whatsoever, but I had some time because I was up in my parents' house just after Christmas and they go to bed early and the kids went to bed.
So I was like, all right, I'll listen to this stupid Adrian Dittman.
Let me see if it's actually Musk.
100%.
That's Musk.
I agree.
I agree.
And I know a guy, I'm not going to mention, who called this weeks and I want to say months ago that this was his, when he's on ketamine, he logs into this other account.
And then it's, yeah.
So.
Yeah.
There have been one or two times I've listened where I was like, oh, that doesn't sound as close to Musk as the other time.
Regardless, he has certainly spoken as that account.
And to hear him get in his panties in a bunch over Laura Loomer and Nick Fuentes and the Groypers and they're manipulating, you know, they're spamming and they're breaking the terms of service.
What?
Because they like are in a DM group and they were like, look at this crappy take.
Let's go push back on that.
So transparently dishonest, cowardly.
Somebody said it took seven or eight years for Jack Dorsey to finally get sick of the Twitter headaches and the nonsense.
And a lot's been there for a year and a half.
It's so pathetic.
It's so pathetic because it's like he's he's like tangling with, do I, dare I say the B team?
Maybe the C team.
Like just these like these puppets.
And I'm just like unbanned.
But the fact that there's any pushback, that there's, that there is a controversy, I think is a great thing.
And I don't think we should undersell our influence on things.
Yeah.
So can we make something happen?
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe not.
But, you know, when you have the president of the United States say that this is the number one problem is white nationalists, you know, maybe you want to say that's bullshit or whatever, but okay, but he said it, you know, and this, the same message has gone forth again and again.
Do we have a cohesive power and a way to implement it?
No, but they recognize the force is there and they are afraid of it.
There's no doubt about that.
You're 100% right, Sam.
I just want to say that I am watching like a rugby match between Australia, global, whatever they and like and the midget version.
And I was just like, if the actual Titans of Twitter were here, you people would be absolutely decimated.
Like not even decimated, sentiment.
How about no, wait, I got that backwards.
Pulverized.
Pulverized.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Well, you got to give, got to give Musk a little bit of credit because the fact that there was a Twitter blow up in the first place and like 16 Griper accounts went down.
It's certainly a new regime that is not as bad as the old one.
They would have just automatically zapped a thousand, two thousand people, whatever it would have taken.
He wasn't ready for it.
He was not.
He thought he was bulletproof.
Like he really thought that like, oh, I can say whatever I want.
This is my theory on what happened.
He cozied up to the MAGA right, which is the only kind of- For his own reasons.
Yeah.
You're right.
It's the furthest right wing that has any kind of power institutionally.
And he cozied up to them because he figured that's where the winners are.
And that's where the power is going to be.
That's where the rockets are.
Yeah.
And he thought, okay, like, look at how I can flirt with this and that.
And they eat up everything that I say.
So now, okay, checkmate.
I have them eating out of the palm of my hand.
And we're going to bring in these Indians.
And then Tesla's going to be the best company.
And we're going to be in Mars.
And then they're all going to, and they're all going to go for it because it's going to happen.
And then they just didn't.
Yeah.
And the holy pool, we're grateful.
Yeah, no, I, I really actually looking at this whole thing, I, I believe that actually Elon thinks his goal, his life goal is interstellar.
Well, maybe not interstellar, but at least getting to Mars.
Yep.
That's what I think he really, really, really cares about.
And so he doesn't care what it takes to get him there.
And he just doesn't realize.
And also he just, he just wants it in his own lifetime.
He wants to see it happen.
Whereas I was reading a post, I thought it was good that, you know, great things that were done in the past was maybe take a few hundred years.
You know, we start building the cathedral now and our great grandchildren might see it.
I mean, sure.
Who wouldn't?
Right?
Like, I like you said, like, you imagine the generational building of Shark Cathedral.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, but I would still want to be able to see it finished.
So I don't blame.
That's a human thing.
Sure.
Reminds me of the meme.
Did you make it to Mars?
Yes.
What did it cost you?
You know, everything or your country or selling it out.
Well, does he want to make it to Mars because this is some grand display of human conquest?
Or does he want to do it because then he'll make even more money?
At this point, I'm convinced that it's just the money thing.
Like it's like, look, money and status.
It has nothing to do with, look, look what I've done.
Look how I've achieved this.
And now the world will live on and it will be the grandest world ever.
And then poverty and hunger will be a thing of the pet.
I think it's just the money thing.
This guy, this guy sucks so much.
I hate this guy.
Yes.
Yep.
Yep.
I would not cry a tear if he killed over from a heart attack.
We won't make any Super Mario Brothers references here.
But just listening to him, I mean, I was fascinated.
It was, it's the world's quote unquote greatest industrialist and wealthiest man streaming.
There were like two or 3,000 people listening at a time.
He recruited his little band of sycophants to mostly surround him.
He did tangle with a couple people, but he was crying the victim and blaming racism like a straight leftist.
That's so racist.
It was embarrassing.
It was cringe.
It was thin-skinned.
It wasn't well-reasoned.
And I called him infantile in his political instincts when I listened to that whole story.
He might be a great engineer.
That's dubious.
You know, a lot of people say all he does is manage engineers.
He sets the objective.
He's good with getting the money and doing the hustle, selling the hustle.
Same as the Indian AI guy said, I'm not a good coder.
I just was good at speaking.
But there's something to be said for.
Democrat donor.
The pushback on his own platform shook him and rattled the Trump campaign to the point where they basically muzzled all their new incoming appointees.
So there's absolutely wealth in what happened.
I'm glad it happened.
It never would have happened under Kamala.
They would have just done whatever they were going to do.
And, you know, we'd say the Democrats are the real racists or whatever.
But there is also that element of like, does it, do you really think that you're going to change the administration's course by your tweets?
And Trump, you know, when he finally got himself out of bed to call into whatever radio show.
I love the H-1B program.
Used it many times.
you know what are the greatest immigration programs like and what's and there's no leverage of course he's already in the only thing you could arguably have is the midterms which will probably be a dim uh take back of the house in the senate way depending on how the first two years go uh it's it was a delightful room storm back and forth he has must control the house So I think that the main thing is, because I see a lot of people saying, like, so what?
There's nothing you can do about it.
Obviously, politically, no, but if you think that all these Pajites that come in to replace these people, if you think at this point, people are just going to let it happen.
No, no, no.
It's going to be so much worse.
Like girls are openly, like white women are openly racist towards Pajites now.
That's definitely one of the great things that's happened in recent times is the realization of how Indians really are.
And it was funny for a long time.
I know, but it seems like it's really hit.
No, now people are noticing.
But even with Musk, when he responded to one of those tweets, it's like his phrasing is almost becoming Indian.
Did you see that one pose?
Why do you lie?
Yeah, why do you lie?
Yeah, whatever he said.
It was funny.
And anybody, even let's assume that Indians were the greatest, real quick.
Let's assume that Indians were the greatest coders of all time.
Super hard workers, brilliant, you know, take the thankless jobs on, and there's actually no Americans that would do those jobs.
Let's just assume.
Of course, we know that's not true.
It still wouldn't be worth it for a second to let in one because anybody who has spent significant time either in India or in South Asia or with big groups of Indians know that they are among, I'll even, I'll spare the like valid, but perhaps somewhat crude criticisms.
They are like the least assimilable people on earth, among the most nepotistic right up there with the Jews.
Oh my God, yes.
The scams, the exclusivity, the thinking that they are higher on their own supply than any other people I've ever met.
They think they're funny.
They think they're brilliant.
They think that they can pull a fast one and you won't notice.
And you're like, I'm not stupid.
It's so obvious.
And I've been to India four or five times for work, always, never for vacation.
Got sick four of the five times, of course.
And every single time I came back, I just said, I am more of an immigration restrictionist than ever before.
Just that absolute cacophony of population density and madness.
I almost forgive them to a certain extent because there's so many of them that they kind of have to be hustlers and shysters to get ahead when there's, you know, one and a half billion of Jews.
Yeah, I mean, did you see like the meme where, okay, the Aryan race built this in less than 200 years and they show like, you know, Hudson Bay and the New York skyline and, you know, ships on the water.
And then here's what they had 10,000 years to build.
And they show some Indian squatting taking a shit in the street.
You know, you know, that's, that's what, that's what their culture produces.
But did you see this Wall Street Journal article article?
I wanted to go ahead.
I was going to make earlier.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
So Sam Hyde was talking about this where right now you got a bunch of Indian comedians that are doing the same like anti-white hatred that like black comedians have been doing.
But the difference between the blacks and the Indians is blacks culturally have like a valid gripe against white people, just because everyone knows about how horrible whites were to those poor slaves and all that nonsense.
Where Indians are chiming in on that, but they don't have any of this.
And people are noticing.
And then there's just nothing redeeming about Indians.
So it's, and it's, it's really like people are really noticing like everything terrible about Indians and aesthetic abominations.
And when the and when the Indians come in to to take people's jobs, people are going to be like really pissed.
And they may actually do something.
Like managers may actually do the whole like, no, we're not going to replace all our people with Indians.
Like, surely a corporate corporate wants us to do this, but you may have people say, no, no, no, like we're going to have serious problems if we do that.
One of the guys that Alan had in his spaces was like a Trump Indian guy.
He was like the chair of Indians for Trump or something like that.
And I was listening.
I didn't know who he was at first until I looked at the icon and he was sort of slippery and lying like a Jew, but not as well.
He was doing the whole immigration enforcement thing while still advocating for his people to come in because we're so charitable.
And then he pointed to the Hindustan Temple Foundation or something like that.
Oh, yes, your charity building temples across the United States is your example of the charity and stuff like that.
Basically crying victim.
Well, the agenda is lit in more of my people.
It's the like, you know, the Jews have it easy, right?
Because they can cry victim Holocaust and they look remotely like us and don't necessarily have the aesthetic abominations, although they have plenty of their own.
But the Indians are obvious.
They're loud.
They're bad at lying and just more offensive to the senses.
And it all just exploded great.
Well, they have their groups too.
You know, if you think of Indians as being some kind of monolithic thing, that is not true.
They have their divisions.
And I've worked with Indians in the technical field through the years.
And this one Indian was telling me how there's this group.
I may not be saying this right, the Madawadis cast.
And he says they're like the Jews.
All they care about is money.
And he had a point there, but they're all shit as far as I'm concerned.
I just wanted to mention real quick this Wall Street Journal article I saw.
I was reading the title of it is The Progressive Moment in Global Politics is Over.
And it's talking about how weak economic growth, record immigration are driving gains by the right, especially populace.
Every European country has like a very strong right-wing party growing and they're taking power.
And the gist of this article is saying like this, this, you know, it's just like in boxing, if you ever watch boxing, like there's, there's boxers get old fast, you know, like there'll be maybe be one fight where all of a sudden he looks old or, you know, like Saturday Night Live.
It's just not even funny anymore.
It's like gets to be a moment where it's just over.
And that's how it is for left politics in this world is the second hand has moved, you know, and it's just not that time anymore.
And the progressive moment is over, according to this article, which I agree with.
So it's interesting times we live in.
Yeah, they're definitely taking it on the chin, but what Jim said earlier, I feel like what we're going to get instead is, you know, the capitalist side of the coin.
You're communism, capitalism, and it'll be perhaps wealthier and slightly more free.
Right.
No, no, it's just the power structure is crumbling, and we have an opportunity in a way, you know, to make for ourselves.
That's what I believe in, anyways.
You know, we have our little communities here and there, and we need to grow those, and we need to believe in what we're doing.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I certainly don't want any show, let alone this, you know, Christmas holiday special, uh, to black peel pill people or dissuade you getting involved or whatever.
Optimistic, perhaps I am not particularly optimistic.
I'm more inward looking and looking out for my family and my finances.
I'll be just brutally honest right there, just because a little bit tired, but been through this before.
The deja vu sense.
Oh, here we get.
This is the same movie again, eight years later.
Um, only there's probably more Jews, and then they've got tech money pushing for big money.
We said before they were going to go after the low-hanging fruit of the worst illegal immigrants and then push either amnesty or some sort of increased bigger legal immigration.
We have the Canadian example north of the border to go where Trudeau let in 2 million Indians in like two years, and now the switch flips, and you're going to get an ultimate Zionist conservative guy come into office.
It seems it's just repeating itself again.
Go ahead, Sam.
What is different, though, is in previous times.
What is different from previous times is just why when we talked about how this election was going, I said, I'm not, I'm not putting any stamp of approval on anything.
All I'm telling you is the regular guy is invested in this in a way that I don't think I've ever seen in my lifetime.
And people are paying attention to this, and people are watching this.
And the stranglehold of the major news media that is broken now.
People are getting their news from their favorite Telegram channels, and people are watching these fights like Elon Musk had, as we just discussed for a while there.
So I do think something has happened and something has changed.
That doesn't mean we're on the brink of TND or anything like that.
But, you know, it's things are the power is shifting and the dynamics are changing.
And so it's interesting.
And to that point, I meant to ask, and I don't think it's unfair of me to say that at some point over the past six months, you hinted that, hell yeah, I'd be interested in Vlad's offer of sanctuary.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
I don't know if that was totally sincere, in just or whatever, but would you actually still consider leaving this place and go give it a shot in Russia?
You would have to at least think about it.
You'd have to consider it.
It would have to be a real thing for me to say yes or no to it.
But yeah, sure.
If somebody said, hey, we like what you have to say in Full House, you seem like a smart guy with a good skill set.
Would you ever consider this?
I'd have to at least consider it.
Go ahead, Jim.
Yeah.
I've been thinking about that a lot.
And the problem is.
I think Jim's going over there.
Yeah.
I know.
Problem is, you know, my family.
I mean, it's a huge change.
And, but I don't know.
They got double wides over there.
You still in the double wide chip?
No.
No, I have a house.
All right.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
I need to go to bed.
Look.
we're almost done we're almost done jim hang with us stay strong point i've been thinking a lot about that i think about it every day but uh you know i don't know um huge change and then my parents you know my parents are would still be here but i can't take care of them so bring them over but Save some scratch and go visit.
Yeah, go visit first.
See it for yourself.
Anyway, I know.
I like the culture.
People remember that I raised chicken on Masha and the bear.
So there you go.
Anyway, I need to go to bed.
Good night, guys.
Oh, Jim, real quick, real quick.
One nice Christmas story.
One nice Christmas thing that happened to you or your family this year.
It could be the most negligible nice detail from Christmas morning.
Yeah.
Well, I assume Santa Claus came.
Pretty important.
No.
No, Santa Claus did not.
Actually.
So you must be joking.
I am not, actually.
What?
Okay.
That's a crap of scum.
Give me a minute.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
So my children are so bad that we well that we basically were like, well, all right.
So my son, he's five years old.
And he was riding in the car with his mother.
And I'm sorry, I've had too much.
He was riding in the car with his mother and he said, Santa is dead.
Heavy.
And my almost crashed the car.
And he said, well, he said, Santa is Saint Nicholas, correct?
And my wife said yes.
I thought maybe he was reading the children's Nietzsche or something.
Yeah, but go ahead.
No, no, no.
And he said, to be a saint, you have to be in heaven.
You can't be in heaven.
You know, you can't be a saint unless you're in heaven.
And my wife said yes.
So he said, well, so he, at five years old, logically deduced that Santa was not real.
So what the, what the F am I supposed to do at that point?
Did chicken beat him up like you, little SOB?
No, you're right.
She was mad.
She was like, no.
And I said, chicken, it's okay.
You know, he's just, I didn't want to say he's smarter than you.
Well, he's like more clever, perhaps.
Yeah.
Got to finish all those things.
That's where we didn't, we never taught our children to believe in Santa.
In fact, we would say like people believe in him like this and it's fun to play along with it.
And then we'd get them to play along with it.
And they would pretend along, you know what I mean?
But we all knew like Saint Nicholas is this.
He's this person.
He's a great figure in our Catholic history.
But, you know, and then we pretend and we go along.
We have this kind of a folklore about him.
And it's all for fun.
You know, I think it's better to teach people like that, right?
So, anyway, um, um, thanks no presents, no presents under the tree, or uh, you just said here, these are from mom and dad absolutely millions of presents, okay?
All right, okay, but that is uh impressive, Jim.
I'll give that to Junior.
Uh, for running the traps, he's I want I see myself in him, and it's upsetting to me because I don't know,
you never experienced this yourself where you see yourself in them and then you're like, Yeah, all the time.
I want their life to be different from mine.
We get our attributes and our drawbacks.
I mean, it's just the way it goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I see that in him every day.
All right, I'm gonna go.
Uh, good night, Jim.
Thank you for coming back.
Jim, it was great to hang out with you, brother.
I'm sorry, this is not how I wanted to go out, but it's it's all right, bud.
That was that was a good story.
You're fun, yeah, it's all good.
I'm glad the kids got presents.
I thought you were going to say they were so poorly behaved that they got zero presents for Christmas.
Like, no, there was no Christmas.
Uh, no, but it was your son being clever, and uh, yeah, so that's a testament, that's good, a testament to the genes.
And don't feel bad, I can see all four grandparents' attributes and drawbacks in our kids sometimes, physical and intellectual.
It's just a roll of the dice, it's how it goes.
Good night, buddy.
Take care.
We love you.
No homo.
He's off.
All right.
He's off.
All right.
Crashing back in and out like he owns the place.
All right.
That was Jim, host of the fatherland.
We still got a little bit of time.
I'll go real quick with my Christmas story.
And for the past, I don't know, for a long time, we have done Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home, just us, extended families too far away for us to leave.
And we have always had believers under the roof.
And it was very important to be at home when the big guy was inbound.
This year, we've got one faithful still under the roof, and it was, he was really into it, treating Petey Mouse like a local prince and everything.
Regardless, lovely Christmas, no stress.
Everyone was pleased.
And then we took him up to my parents' house.
And we always, God bless my mom.
You know, she's not a spring chicken anymore, but and she's had her share of medical issues over the past two decades, but she always wants to go out and do an activity.
We were going to go up to the Big Apple because our youngest is obsessed with skyscrapers.
You know, he makes, he draws skyscrapers, he builds skyscrapers with his blocks.
He knows the Burj Khalifa down to One Liberty Place in Philadelphia.
So we were going to go to New York to take him up in the Empire State Building.
And the night before we were all sitting around talking about it, we were like, you know, it would be a lot easier to go into Philly.
And everybody was like, yeah, it's going to be cold and it's going to be expensive and it's going to be slightly dangerous.
Not in like, we're going to get robbed or kidnapped or whatever, but just the hustle and the bustle and the risk of losing primarily our youngest.
So we go.
So we took the train into Philly and we went up into the tallest building in Philadelphia, which is either the Comcast Tower or Comcast Center.
They're like right next to each other.
And there's a four seasons at the top.
And they were very accommodating.
They realized that tourists come up, they want to see the view.
The bar was packed.
We couldn't even pop in there to get a lemonade and a beer.
But regardless, then we went to the Wanamaker building, which is right downtown by City Hall because they have a Christmas light display.
And the entire time I was both at Dad DEF CON 2 looking for bums or potential threats and making sure that nobody got left behind.
So finally, we walk into this classic historical department store, the Wanamaker building, which basically is dominated by a Macy's, but has a massive, beautiful Christmas tree with lights display.
We're walking in there and my daughter says, oh, the last thing he said was, that mannequin looks like Slender Man.
And then we turn around and our youngest is gone.
And my mom looks at me with the laser eyes like, we knew that this was a risk and he's your son.
I was like, okay, mom, you stay put.
Junior and daughter, you guys go both that ways.
You know where the base is right in front of the tree and I'll go look for him elsewhere.
And for two minutes, we could not find our youngest.
He had wandered off and I felt the anxiety rising up in me.
I didn't really think that somebody kid snatched him.
I figured the worst case scenario was we would hear somebody say something over the audio.
But lo and behold, it was Junior who found him.
And we had just barely veered left to go to the Christmas light display.
And he had continued straight.
And by the time we looked around, he was behind a wall of jackets or whatever.
And he had a little bit of fright in him.
And we all had a look of pure relief on us when he was reunited with us.
So we almost had like a home alone thing in the Wanamaker building downtown Philadelphia.
It all worked out fine.
And then he was holding my hand around my shoulders for the last of the time.
And when we finally went down to take the train back to Jersey, 16th and Locust, there was dried excrement on the walls and P and P in the like the side channels.
And the two boys thought that that was really cool.
And my daughter looked like she was about to puke.
We got on the train and got out of there.
So we went into the big city.
It wasn't there.
You didn't see any of those meth zombies, did you?
We did not go to Kensington Avenue.
No, I've actually approached that before.
I was like, let me, you know, you know, visiting for Halloween, like, let me just drive the kids down Kensington Avenue.
My old man scared the hell out of me.
It's not worth it.
Not worth it.
Maybe I'll take a solo mission.
We're laughing about it.
It's not even funny.
No, I know.
But anyway, yeah, brief loss in the department store.
Otherwise, a pretty nice visit.
I feel you there, Coach.
I did have a moment many years ago with my number three son.
It was, you know, we were in a shopping, it was in a mall and we were in a shopping center or in a particular store.
We came out and, you know, with so many kids and all that.
And all of a sudden he was gone, you know, and we couldn't, you know, we couldn't find him.
And so we alerted the security and of the mall and they were looking for him.
And somehow he, because he didn't see us, he went out to the parking lot, which was, you know, we were never going to find him there.
And so we did find him, but it was 15 minutes of absolute terror.
And that horrible feeling, it's like you can feel your face getting flush.
It's like comes up from your gut and into your neck and into your face.
And you're like, and you're trying not to freak out.
You're like, it's probably going to be fine, but you don't know.
Yep.
Well, it's just, you know, the thought going through my mind is this is no one's fault but mine.
How did I let this happen?
You know, terrible, terrible thing.
I don't know if we have a couple minutes.
I'll give a quick interlude.
I don't know if we're going to come back or play a song or whatever, but yeah, let's play a song.
We'll come back.
I don't know how long I have to talk about my genital malady for sure.
So go ahead and then Rolos Christmas.
We'll go to the break and then we'll come back.
Yep.
Okay.
Yeah, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry on Christmas Eve, which I've never done before.
But it just so happened the way because the way Christmas is falling on a Wednesday and Christmas Eve was on a Tuesday.
And those were the days I have off.
And like I mentioned, this was before we came on the air.
But, you know, this Trump effect on the economy, I could tell you already is being felt because we are working the weekends in between each of the holidays.
And, you know, I know he doesn't deserve the credit, but the attitude of business owners is, yes, let's make the parts.
Let's make that.
Let's buy that new machine.
Let's hire that new person.
Yes, Trump's here.
That means more business friendly, whether you think that's legitimate or not.
But I can tell you this, this year has been rather slow.
Biden has screwed the economy really bad, and it's really being felt this through 2024.
But in this last month, I would say, since the election, it's picked up big time.
So just saying.
But we went and the best exhibit there by far is the U505, the Nazi submarine that was captured off of Africa.
It was brought back and put in the museum.
I've been meaning to see that for years.
Oh, my God.
You absolutely must do this.
Whatever you have to do.
Next time.
Yeah, these museums in Chicago are a total money grab.
It is completely contrary to the original purpose of these museums, which were built for the Columbian Exposition, like close to the turn of the previous century.
The idea was that learning and knowledge and the arts and culture should not be the province of the rich only, but it should be for everybody.
Well, it's so expensive.
I spent well over $200 to take four people to this thing.
Damn.
Oh, yeah.
So just to get into the Museum of Science and Industry is about 50 bucks a pop, roughly?
25 a person.
Okay.
It's $25.95, I think, per person.
And then if you go on any special exhibits, and certainly if you go and have a bite to eat or anything, you're well over $200.
But it was, you know, it was just a splurge.
It's been, sad to say, many years since I've brought the kids to the museum.
I grew up going to the museums in school.
Every year, the school would take us to the museums.
And when my kids were, the older kids were little, I would take them.
I only have the youngest one.
He's just turned 18 now, but he didn't remember.
I said, you remember when we brought, we went to the U505 or went to the coal mine exhibit?
He couldn't remember because he was really little the last time we ever went there.
So it's been well over a decade since we went.
And so I said, okay, let's go.
U505 is absolutely spectacular.
The accomplishments of the German Navy and the German state in that time before World War II is absolutely remarkable.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
But we did the other things.
The coal mine exhibit, which is really, really cute.
You feel like you're, they make you feel like you're going way, way, way under the ground.
And you go, you know, you get on a coal tram and you go and you see how they dig out the coal and then you walk out and you're just on the ground floor, you know.
And, but, but they have also the Christmas tree exhibit, which after World War II, they had a one big Christmas tree that they had in there and they decorated it with different ornaments or different motifs from around the world.
And then in the coming years, they said, no, let's make all these individual Christmas trees that reflects the culture and tastes and Christmas traditions of various countries around the world.
And that's really something to see.
It sounds kind of simple.
And it is a simple idea, but it's very touching and beautiful, really.
But I got to say something about Finland for any of our Finland, our listeners.
Finland's got to check their stuff because there's a lot of six-pointed stars on that tree.
That must be some kind of some kind of tradition that's unconnected to the other six-pointed star.
But yeah, it was just wonderful.
You know, we had a wonderful time walking around.
They have the Zephyr stainless steel train, you know, that was the commuter train that was from the Burlington Northern line.
They have that.
You could go all through that.
And there's just so many things.
And it was, you know, everything was decorated for Christmas.
It was a wonderfully warm time.
And they still, it's all up right now.
If you're listening to this, go right now.
It'll be up for at least another couple of weeks.
But we sure enjoyed Museum of Science and Industry.
It did cost us a little bit, but, you know, you got to break a couple legs to make an oblet once in a while.
Amen.
All right.
Let's go to the break, Rolo.
We'll tease any Christmas joy out of you for the second half.
Rolo's Joy and My Genital Melodies.
Really tempting.
Looking forward to it.
Let me tell you.
Everybody's going to tune in.
Unrelated.
My foreskin grew back.
All right.
You know, there's the spoiler.
It's a Christmas miracle.
Is that all right, Rolo?
Yep.
Nice goatee, by the way.
Oh, TMY.
Legit.
I actually just shaved.
I couldn't take it.
I let my beard grow out all the way until today and all the gray was coming through and it was getting sort of, I don't know.
I couldn't take it.
Yeah.
Well, I only took it down to like whatever the three setting is on my little thing, regardless.
Phillips cheap electric razor I've had for like 10 years now.
Sam, you got something special in the hopper, not just for us, but for everybody.
Tee it up, please.
Oh, the break music?
Well, yeah, we didn't really get to talk about this.
I mean, are we going to play one of the Christmas songs I recorded?
Yeah, yes, absolutely.
Your choice, whichever one.
Well, let's go.
You know, I wrote a song this year for Christmas.
I've written a number of songs for Christmas.
I'm sure some of the faithful listeners, which I've heard from, some of those songs really made an impact on some people.
And so I said, you know, it's been some years, sad to say, really, it's been some years since I've written a song through my life as a musician.
I have written songs all through my life.
I've written dozens and dozens of songs, but probably in the last 10 years, I've written maybe one song.
Not for any particular reason.
I just, you know, I get into different things.
I've gotten more into classical music and things like that, just, you know, perfecting technique and things like that.
But I thought, well, this year, you know, I really should.
I should write a Christmas song.
And so I wrote a Christmas song because, well, I just had it in my heart to do that.
And then I also recorded a rendition of the song White Christmas, just in case my own song fell flat or something.
But so as it is, a lot of people seem to like it.
I don't know.
Maybe some people won't care for it, but at least some people seem to like it.
So this is Christmas is Near is the name of the song.
It's an original song that we and my family Together we recorded.
Beautiful.
Thanks, Sam and Fam, and we'll be right back.
Will we be happy all of this Christmas time?
As much joy as can be troubles behind.
A strong drink is waiting the very best time.
You tight songs come out.
Say, oh look, it's coming Christmas time.
We will be happy all of this Christmas time.
As much joy as can bear room in your love.
Have the cares of this year.
Caught you all God.
Did your heart break?
Was your job at stake?
Medical fears, old family tears.
Do the girls have you done feeling all alone now?
There's no peace in this world, and you don't see how.
Amidst the darkness of night was born to our glorious light.
All of this Christmas time.
All of this Christmas time.
The last thing I see on the screen before we go to tape for the first half of the show and the second half of the show is Rolo's thumb in the camera.
And in this case, it was a thumbs up.
Welcome back, everybody, to Full House episode 203.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as a Christmas extravaganza, but it is a Christmas special.
It's that time of year.
We're in between Christmas and New Year's.
The kids are home.
Hopefully you had some time with your extended family, no matter where they might be.
And I wish good things to all of you, except for the haters, of course, because, gosh, what was I listening to?
I was listening to the meditations of Marcus Aurelius while driving up to New Jersey with the kids.
We were just playing music, and the kids are old enough now that I can give them my iPhone to play DJ for a while and thumbs up, thumbs down.
This is great.
That sucks.
This and that.
And then eventually I said, okay, let's listen to an audio book.
And that one was free and available and hadn't gotten too far.
But it's basically Marcus Aurelius saying, take it easy, everything in moderation, and be sober, diligent, kind, charitable.
Not exactly groundbreaking stuff from what I've heard so far.
Obviously, he was sort of writing it for himself.
But if you don't have that one under, you know, advisement yet, I advise you to read it or listen to it.
It was free on Audible.
And we had a really nice Christmas here.
It wasn't particularly special.
Honestly, one of the nicest things was after we went into Philly, I asked the kids, well, kids, you know, does this make you want to live in a big city one day?
Because I'm not, I don't want to push them to be quote unquote country bumpkins.
They love going to grandma and grandpa's because of the paved streets and you can ride your bike and have a little bit more independence when you're more isolated in the country.
But when we got back here and it happened to be clear and the stars were out, our oldest, who is not always the biggest font of joy and mirth and happiness, he just sort of took a deep breath, looked up at the stars and said, it sure is good to be back.
And I did a double take and I said, were you being sarcastic there?
And he looked at me like, no, of course not.
It's really great to be back out in the country.
And my heart sang with, I don't know if that was Christmas joy or rural joy in that moment.
And the rest of the kids seem to have been happy to get home too.
Every kid enjoys a good trip to Grandma and Grandpa's House of Wonders.
And I think they love getting back home in this case to the Mountain Mama too.
We're going to get to Rolo's Christmas joy, my crotch lack of joy.
But first, new white life.
It's been a while.
We got two special ones.
Quasragoon let us know without getting into details that his latest son, three, four, something in that ballpark, is inbound and he could have been born already because this was a few days ago.
So Quas Ragoon, if he hasn't arrived yet, Godspeed to you and Wifey.
Great job so far.
He's been an online pal for a long time.
And don't let anybody tell you that being born near Christmas is a curse.
What a wonderful gift of all.
Yeah.
Yes.
I suspect he and Wifey will find a way to make sure that that little tyke gets Christmas presents and birthday presents in due order, no matter what they say.
And then also another great guy, Jayhawk, let us know that he's got his third on the way.
Pure Smiles, Jayhawk, another great shines through in the messages.
I may have met Jayhawk at a meetup years ago, but I'm not entirely sure.
Jayhawk, don't hold it against me.
But way to go to you and Wifey, congratulations.
Good luck.
I don't know when the third will arrive, but it is a tough one, at least from my experience.
Not to get you worried.
Good luck, buddy.
Sam, let's just go to, I don't think you have any new white life, Sam, in the hopper.
Do you?
All right.
Rolo, share some holiday cheer.
It's tough.
Well, I got a bunch of pills for Christmas.
Okay, you have my interest.
Yeah, I went to my mother's for breakfast and she said, I didn't know what to get you.
So I got you a bunch of pills.
So she got me like a bunch of vitamins and like magnesium and drink and calcium and stuff.
What do you get the health buff who has everything?
More supplements.
Yeah.
Not bad.
Yeah.
Well, it's something you'll use, right?
That's the thing.
Oh, yeah.
Give somebody a gift, something that they will actually use.
Yeah, it was practical and it was something that.
Uh, you know, someone who knows me knows to to get something like that.
Uh, for my stack.
I was at Costco the other day Rollo, and I re-upped on the glucosamine with msm and I added in a little turmeric with ginseng, just because I love those orange gummies.
They're delicious.
Whether they're good for me or not, I don't know they are.
Yeah no, i'm sure they are, i'm sure it can't hurt.
And then uh, my old man was like, are you taking nac?
I said, what the hell is nac?
He's like, oh, it's good for like, it's a decongestant, it's good for your system.
And I looked at the bottle.
I said huh, that was one of those random supplements.
I forget the chemical name for it, but I had bought nac.
I think I bought fenugreek, listening to Smasher years ago.
But it was like, all right, I bought it.
I didn't notice any difference and did away with nac.
But um, I might re-add that to my stack, just because my old man did.
But you know, i'm a c D fish oil.
Uh now, turmeric glucosamine for my bad knees and electricity in the winter oh yeah, magnesium and zinc, for sure.
Yeah glucose yep, for sure.
Well, while we're talking health well, we'll just get uh right into my nether region.
Um, not sharing this to be finally yeah, not sharing this to be yeah, the the most hyped segment of full house in history?
Yeah, I got, I got, I finally got the enlargement.
No uh I, when I went, maybe a reduction?
Uh no, everybody could use another one or two.
Sam, let's be modest here uh, but no, I did make that joke when I was coming out I forget if I was going into my knee surgery or out.
I was like, you know, while you got the tools out, you know, add one or two on.
But I was a little bit loopy.
You know they already had the drip in uh, but on this show over the past month, month and a half, I discussed two things that both contributed to my malady.
Number one was toward the end of, maybe two shows ago was moving that gun safe into uh its place, with negligible help from my young son, and the other one was the mouse attack in the shed when I had to scramble and relocate all of those heavy bins of canned food and rice bags and whatnot, and I I didn't make a connection.
The audience obviously knows what's coming, but about a month ago I was like what the hell's, you know, I thought maybe like my left and my right had like, you know, done that occasional shift where I was like, okay, maybe the right's going to be the lower one and the left's going to be the higher one, but it just didn't feel right.
And then I was running around the indoor soccer field with the kids in between games.
And I almost felt like I had to, you know, like do a Michael Jackson or like a ghetto Negro and like, you know, reach up there and grab for my sex.
I was like, all right, something's amiss down there.
And, you know, probably the H word, a hernia in guinea down there from where the nuts descended, but it didn't hurt.
I didn't have any pain.
It just felt off.
I felt pressure, very light pressure on my right testicle.
So of course, what did I first do?
I didn't go to WebMD or Google or the Cleveland clinic.
I, you know, consulted with the homies.
And unfortunately, Jayo is not with us.
He had something come up.
No surprise, but he was like, dude, go get it checked out.
Don't mess around with a hernia.
Don't let it get worse.
Rolo is also a supplemental medical consultant to my do have a story about a hernia after you finish yours, by the way.
And I will be quick here.
Long story short, I didn't have pain down there, but I felt a change.
And the other thing is my first thought was, it's testicular cancer.
Oh, God, you know, like something's bulging, you know, it's metastatic, you know, goodbye balls.
It's probably going to not really, but, you know, shower, did the inspection.
No, nothing's amiss there.
Just feels, it felt off down there.
Went to my general practitioner, my regular doctor, and I said, it's time for us to take our medical relationship to the next level.
And he laughed and he said, all right, let's do it.
So I dropped trowel and he, you know, stuck his claws up in there, did the cough thing.
Ha ha.
He couldn't detect a hernia.
I said, well, son of a bitch, that's, that's my best guess.
I'm not crazy.
Something has changed down there.
He said, well, write you a script for an ultrasound.
That's the best way to find out.
So a day or two later, I went.
It was actually, it was Christmas Eve.
It was Christmas Eve morning.
Checked into the hospital for the ultrasound.
And a nice, probably 50-year-old lady greeted me from radiology.
And I said, I'm so sorry that you have to scan my nuts on Christmas Eve.
And she laughed kind as heck.
Nice cozy bed in a private room, the sonogram tool with lube on it.
She knit towel to hide the essence and just basically started scanning.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Straight.
And then lo and behold, after about two or three minutes of warm, lubricated depression down in my crotch, she said, Oh, there it is.
Eureka, we struck gold.
A very minor fatty hernia.
So my intestines, my guts weren't bulging out of my nutsack or my groin, but there was a gap probably from moving a gun safe and bins of heavy ass food and not being in the greatest shape.
And I am now waiting for the outcome of whether they're going to say watchful waiting or surgery.
There you go.
Talk about candor in podcasting.
What's up, Sam?
Coach, you didn't make a D nuts joke or anything.
Sorry, I muted so I didn't cough into this mic.
I have no idea how sensitive it is.
You know, it was strangely comfortable with her.
I thought it might have been awkward.
I was like, whatever.
I just, you know, she took my, you know, nut scanning on Christmas Eve joke.
And I was just glad that I wasn't crazy and I didn't go in to get a medical procedure for no reason that they, I wasn't happy to find out that I had a hernia.
But, you know, it was, it was like the male version of getting the sonogram as a pregnant woman.
You know, you're like lying back there.
And I was like peeking over at the screen.
There it is.
Yeah, I could see it.
But it was just this little thing poking out of my abdominality.
So, but no word yet as to whether they're going to.
I've had different inputs from medical professionals who say, don't, you know, don't get cut open down there if you have no pain.
It's not intestinal, right?
Like, just live with it.
Life is not perfect.
Maybe a little screwin' will straighten it out.
That has not been lacking, Sam.
And it's been, it's been, you know, I need some therapy, need some exercise.
But our very, our very own Rolo was like, just get it done.
And another guy was like, just listen to the surgeon, whatever the surgeon says.
I'm still waiting to hear what they, you know, the ultrasound confirmed hernia.
I told the woman my dad had a few, his father had a few.
So it's, I can't blame myself completely.
It's a little bit genetic.
Rolo said, just get the damn surgery before the hole gets, before it rips open, right?
And, you know, half my, half my colon's there on the bed next to me.
Not totally anatomically correct there, but Rolo, that's that's fair though.
Your advice was get the surgery if they're willing to do it.
Well, a guy I know, his grandfather was a logger and he had a hernia for like a year.
Yeah.
And he was like doing heavy labor with it.
And then I was like, wasn't that painful?
He's like, oh, yeah, super painful.
But you can, like, you can get by with it, but the thing is, how much pain do you want?
And you just said, oh, out of shape.
Well, you know, it doesn't get easier when you're in ball pain.
Some time ago, I went to the doctor for something.
I'm like, this seems weird.
And the doctor's like, yeah, I think you have a hernia.
And then, you know, they checked all this stuff and then did all the tests.
And, you know, no hernia.
Sorry, it was just, yeah, the third testicle is a third testicle plus a bunch of other things.
Yeah.
So it was second puberty.
Yeah.
Of course.
I was like, oh, yeah, I thought maybe I was just growing down there again.
You know, yeah, it's a good, it's a good joke.
But yeah, it was, it was like multiple things compounded.
And then I had all the symptoms of a hernia.
And so while while I was waiting for test results, because the doctor's like, 95%, you have a hernia.
And that is just like, okay, well, that's not good for me.
But if we know it's a hernia, well, then we can already get the ball rolling on treatment.
And then I was just researching it all and I saw this, like the surgery for it.
It's a super simple procedure.
Literally, they cut you open.
They push the flay your scrotum, right?
They just completely flay it so it's all open there.
Like, yeah, they take pictures, they sell it, and then they show it to your kids.
Yeah, it's like, this is what's left of your father.
I'm not, I'm not actually worried.
I find that yeah, literally, yeah, they just, they just, they cut you open, they push the intestines back, and they put a mesh over it, and they stitch it up.
Right.
Sometimes they just stitch it up and they don't do the mesh.
Uh, but I think increasingly they're like, they mesh everything.
Yep.
As far as I know, the mesh, it just, it's not, there's no real complications or drawback and for putting it there.
So I don't know why they wouldn't like they're already, you're already open.
Might as well just put that reinforcement over.
And the recovery time is like, it's six weeks, I read on average.
So it's not the worst.
Obviously, coming out of any surgery sucks.
You had some surgery recently.
It can't be worse than ACL.
Right, right.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like it's nothing you haven't experienced before.
It's just crappy for a bit.
And you take Tylenol, rub some salt on it, and then you'll be fine.
Yeah.
And it's funny that you mentioned that too about the old forester or lager.
My paternal grandfather, my dad was just telling me the story.
He was like, oh, yeah, he had a hernia for about six months and he would just put on essentially like a weight belt around his guts to suck it in.
Yeah, he didn't have the luxury to get it done then.
It pushes on the intestines and it keeps them from protruding.
Yeah.
Sorry, guys.
Keep the party in there.
Absolutely wild.
And yeah, how many physicals did I have growing up for soccer or whatever?
And all the kids, all the boys were like, oh, yeah, they're going to touch your penis and feel your balls or whatever.
Everybody got all nervous and nobody had a hernia, right?
Kind of a ludicrous thing.
Probably the past 10 years.
And then how many of those coaches came out as gay children?
Wow, the coaches, the coaches weren't doing the thing.
They were actual doctors or nurses.
Lucky you.
Lucky you.
Oh, your coach was doing the hernia checks.
Yeah, in the shower.
That was the joke.
We got to do these in the shower.
Get a more accurate read.
No, but yeah, like no hernias.
And the past 10 physicals I had, like, you know, they didn't do the fondle because, you know, if you have a hernia, you're going to feel it or mention something.
But, you know, I'm just very gently aware that this tiny little hole I was able to feel.
Okay.
Fun fact, the plural scrotum is scrota.
I would have thought scrotai.
Well, again, like this all comes down to the origin of the word.
Scroti, I think, would be a Roman or Latin, sorry, Latin.
Yeah, that was the famous painting, right?
With the three guys and the swords, the scrotai.
Am I crazy there?
It's something like that.
I can't remember what the name of this is.
Yes, the scrotier.
It's important that we got this information out there.
No, it is.
I didn't know.
And now I know, in case someone has two of them, my scrota hurt.
There you go.
Yeah.
I shared only, you know, in the spirit of the first half, getting older.
And if you feel something, say something.
Or if you feel something, you know.
Well, yeah, silence is violence, right?
Well, the other thing I thought is, you know, maybe I have testicular cancer.
It was in the back of my mind.
I had that thought too.
And then I was like, uh-oh, I think I have testicular cancer.
And then the doctor says, you know, I think you have a hernia.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, that's much better.
Yeah.
More likely.
When I was a kid, John Kruck played for the Philadelphia Phillies and he lost a nut to testicular cancer.
I was afraid of that happening ever since.
It's amazing the things that you observe in childhood and take into advisement as an anxiety.
But I did, you know, I mentioned it just, you know, that it was, I didn't have pain, felt a little bit of pressure.
Something was off down there.
Lo and behold, go to check it out.
I was relieved to not be crazy.
If they told me no hernia, no testicular cancer, nothing, I would have thought that I was a hypochondriac or, you know, paying too much attention to my nuts.
Not the case.
Relieved.
And we'll keep you posted on whether I have to get sliced open again or if that's even a good idea.
Sam, you got stuff in the stack.
We got a good but dangerous question from the audience for you.
So.
Yeah.
It's all yours, buddy.
And talk about Iron Will and the bumper track.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Last week for sure.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I happened to make acquaintance with a hell of a nice guy from the band Iron Will.
I'm not going to say his name.
He was like very open about it, but no, no reason to put extra information out there.
Hell of a nice guy.
Somehow he knew about what we were doing, what I'm up to, the different things.
And we just had a wonderful exchange.
He's a musician.
The band Iron Will.
I picked up a record from them a couple of years ago.
It was a split CD with another band called Beer Hall Push.
And a great band, great guys.
And so I said, well, where, you know, what other records you have out there?
He said, oh, man, we got records out there.
He kind of caught me flat-footed because I was only aware of the one, but he did have other stuff out there.
So like if you go on tonight.com or other sites that are selling white nationalist music, you'll be able to find some Iron Will records.
I wasn't aware that they had more things out there.
I did have the one.
We just had a very nice conversation.
He sent me some music.
I sent him some music.
And Coach was nice enough to play on the previous show a bit of the song White Wolf.
No good, no kindness, Sam.
Sometimes people, you know, Sam will send me stuff and I'll play it out of charity or play it because I like it.
Sam was like, hey, this guy likes the show and here's some of his tracks.
Yeah.
And as soon as I hit that one, and the bumper tracks are the ones that I care about the most because you have the most ears up there.
And that was, I listened to that about a dozen or two dozen times.
Guy was super, super nice, friendly.
We had some laughs and stuff.
We knew some of the same people.
So definitely check out Iron Will.
Great band.
And they have some other songs.
Maybe in a future show, we'll get another one out there.
People can hear it and just wet their beaks and wet their toes or whatever in the pond.
A couple other things I wanted to promote real quick.
You know, coming up to Christmas, I'm always wondering what other people get.
I always start by asking, what did you get for Christmas?
So I'd like to hear from Coach and Rolo, but I would start off and just say I bought myself some stuff, which I bought a couple of James LaFond books.
Remember James LaFond?
We had him just about two years ago, I think.
We had him on the show.
And last year, I had bought his book.
I started reading it in our local group.
We always have a grab bag coming up to Christmas.
And I didn't have anything.
So I put his book in the grab bag.
You know, I gave it away, even though I didn't finish reading it.
And I thought, well, I'll just get it.
I'll buy it again.
And I kind of just lost track of time.
But as we're coming to the end of this year, I said, I'm going to get some James Lafon books because I just enjoyed the guy on the show so much.
And I did.
He is a good guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's kind of like a little bit of that Jack Kerouac kind of a feel to his writing.
He's kind of a wild character.
He's lives on the road or on the, you know, on the dole or whatever.
He's got a lot of good stories.
And so this year, I said, you know what?
Coming to the end of the year, I got a couple extra books.
I'm going to go and buy.
Originally, I filled up the cart.
It was like $200.
The guy has written well over 100 books, maybe 150 books.
I mean, it's incredible.
And then I came back another day.
I said, all right, I got to pare this down to like 100 bucks max because I can only read so many books anyways.
And I'm reading a lot of books all the time.
So I bought, I just want to mention three books, totally great.
And you can go to bookshop.org.
You can check them out there.
I think he's got his own site too, jameslafon.com.
That's right.
Real quickly, though, the first one I bought, I already read it.
I read it so quickly.
It was called Honor Among Men.
And he talks about exactly what you would say, how, you know, every man should have a code that he lives by.
The code comes first.
Your tribe comes second.
And a lot of great, I even made a lot of notes.
I'm not going to go into it all right now unless we come back to it later.
But, you know, really, really great stuff about he even goes into like reviewing movies and stuff.
It's almost like reading a blog.
Really great book, Honor Among Men.
The other book I'm reading right now, it's called The Violence Project.
He recounts.
He recounts a lot of like actual fights he's been into and like what went wrong, what went right, you know, the lessons learned, what real violence is like, what composes real violence, different types of violence, how to handle yourself in a fight, all kind of like he gets really into kind of the thinking below, you know, because it's one thing to know what you're going to do or things you're going to practice or martial arts or anything like that.
But he really gets into the thinking behind it, which is great.
And if you look through his books, a lot of his books have been like the history of fighting or the philosophy of fighting in the ancient mind and things like that.
And I really think it's great.
Like he talks about how it was terrible that Muhammad Ali would taunt his foe when he knocked him to the mat.
A real fighter should never do that.
A lot of great, like the philosophical thing behind it, which is important, but also real technique.
And the other book that I bought, I didn't really start.
I just cracked it a little bit just to look, but I haven't started reading it.
It's called Solo Boxing.
And he talks about, he goes through like all the different types of punches.
He goes through 14 different punches with the right hand and other punches with the left hand.
And, you know, so it's just sort of good information to consume.
And I wanted to promote it.
And he has, if you look through his list, you'll, you'll do what I did, which is it's hard to narrow it down to even a couple books because they all sound so interesting.
But an interesting guy.
And I thought it was worth mentioning again.
Absolutely.
Sam, I'm glad that you brought him up because, you know, I had no reason to raise this on the air.
But James has been a champ since we had him on two years ago, whatever it was.
He will text me every once in a while with a very grainy photo from whatever flip phone he's using out in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains, whatever.
I think he comes to Chicago occasionally too.
I think so.
But he's been a total champ.
It's just little text messages here and there.
And I send him pictures of the kids and stuff like that.
He's got some event coming up.
I don't think it's safe to tease it or whatever.
I said, James, I would love to attend that.
It's not too far from me.
And I just texted him tonight, Sam, thanks to tell him that, you know, we were singing his praises.
There are some people who have been critical and saying, oh, some of his stories are elaborate or whatever.
I don't know, man.
I like listening to him.
And, you know, it's got the ring of truth.
He's a storyteller embellishes, but it's rooted in truth.
Yeah.
He makes good points about it, though.
And that's the thing.
It's not just about this fight happened or here's the situation.
There's a lesson to be drawn from these things.
And it would be great to even have him on again.
I mean, it's been a couple of years since we've had him on.
Let's have him on again.
I asked him in the text message just a minute ago.
Yep.
Yeah.
Love to have him on again.
But I keep coming back to this.
I'd like to hear from you and Rolo if you received or gave yourself any good gifts.
I wanted to mention just a couple more for myself, which is I got a new guitar case.
My acoustic guitar, which I love dearly, is the case has been really getting beat up in the last few years and it's cracked in a couple different places and it's not watertight anymore.
And it's breached in a few places.
And last time I traveled with it, I checked it and I went and I'm going to the gate at the airport and then I hear the announcement.
Sam, come back to the checking.
There's a question on your, you know, they didn't say guitar case, but come back to the check.
And I was like, okay, I know what that is about.
So I go back there and I say, okay, I'm back here.
What's the problem?
And he says, oh, problem solved.
No, go ahead.
You're free to go.
And I knew right away they wanted to get it open because I lock it naturally when I don't want it to pop open while it's being handled.
And somehow they got it opened, which I'm sure is something to do with the misalignment that I detected after that particular travel of the, you know, the top and the bottom of it.
So so I got this new case, which is, it's a really hard shell, thick, heavy plastic, you know, and it's just made.
And then I was reading the literature on it and it says it has TSA locks, which is so that TSA can open it.
Sure.
You know, Nikki Mouse locks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I thought that was very interesting.
And I was, and then I said to myself, I see that why that happened is because I had this case as old and it had an old-fashioned lock on it.
But so I really appreciated getting that.
And I posted a picture of some records.
Some of them are real new and some of them are from last year.
But I posted a couple of the Christmas songs, not only to you, but also in the full house chat.
And, you know, there's a lot of great music being made out there, you know, then skinheads and other white nationalists are putting out great stuff.
And you really owe it to yourself to check out.
You might have some kind of idea of what it's like, what that music is.
And oh, I don't like it.
Not so.
You have to be a little more open-minded than that.
There's a lot of good songs.
I was talking to Jim before the show, who's, you know, Jim, he's kind of like a Frank Sinatra guy.
You know, he's kind of staying his way.
But he said, oh, what was that one song you played?
And so I posted it again, Agitator from Germany.
You know, there's a lot of good music out there.
You'd be surprised.
So definitely check it out.
Off mic or off recording, but on mic, Jim also gave kudos to the Final Storm theme song.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Great stuff.
Great stuff.
When you get kudos from a curmudgeon, that is the apotheosis of true gratitude and compliment.
Yeah.
I'll answer your question, Sam.
The gift that I received from my wife was a love-hate relationship because she tried this three years ago.
Spoiler, she got me a MacBook Air.
15-inch because I've got in front of me a gigantic cheap HP laptop that has been my lap for the past three years.
The battery is so bad that the cord almost always has to live there.
It doesn't have a removable battery.
Yes, I could open it up and change the battery.
Yes, I am still recording and you should be asleep on the air.
I won't say who that was.
But it was the wife.
It's your wife.
Yeah, it was your wife.
No, but long story short, it's a giant hunk of a laptop that is always plugged in.
Oh, Dad, put this thing away.
It's so ugly.
It's so stupid.
And I am iOS for the phone ever since I shifted from the Marola flip phone to the iPhone.
Totally in that ecosystem.
But I always hated the Mac for multiple reasons.
And she gifted me one three years ago and I returned it because I refused.
I don't need it.
I don't want it.
It's got sharp little edges on the, where you're, I guess the base of your palms would be in front of the keyboard because that's where you flip open the screen.
It doesn't have the massive keyboard that I'm used to.
So it doesn't have the numeric pad on the right, which is useful for counting shekels and stuff like that.
And then just anybody who has worked with Windows and Office and all that for his entire life finds the Mac interface difficult, whereas the iOS thing is just second nature.
But I said, okay, I will try it, but I still might return it.
And although I have my quibbles with it, the elegance, the sleekness, the integration with my phone, the fact that it doesn't take five minutes to boot up.
Like we've had shows where I'm like, got to reboot my computer, guys.
Give me five minutes.
This puppy is the battery's good forever.
You close the lid and it goes to sleep.
You open it up and it's ready to rock and roll like you would like your best lover to be.
So I have chosen deliberately to overlook my particulars, but I'm on the old laptop tonight because a Mac laptop doesn't have USB.
Like, you know, this has 25 holes on the side.
The Mac has like two and a, you know, the power cord and then for headphones.
So I guess I got to get a dongle or something for my new Maltese Falcon to plug into.
But once I can fully retire this thing and all my passwords are seamless.
And I mean, I carried that thing into an indoor soccer game tonight so that I could like peck out some notes while watching of my beloved kids play soccer.
And it was light and easy.
I didn't have to worry about the battery dying.
Total value added.
And I thank you, Wifey, for forcing me to make that hard decision.
I'll stop there.
The kids are always easy, Sam, because every year, okay, it's time, guys.
We need to write our letters to Santa Claus.
Whatever you think about that, it's just helpful for them to sometimes they're pie in the sky.
Sometimes they're totally practical.
And it just makes it easy for Santa Claus to evaluate what are valid requests and what are perhaps less necessary.
So that stuff is easy to consider.
There's a, oh, is that, is that the dongle?
Thank you.
All right.
Yeah.
I got a peanut gallery here.
Mom is not currently home and there may be kids up later than they should be.
But I'm terrible.
I'm terrible about my parents and I'm terrible about my wife.
I delay.
I, oh, it's too much.
It's too little or whatever.
So two of the kids and myself went to Tractor Supply and through, we took well over an hour and picked things that would make my wife's life easier and my parents' life easier.
Didn't mean a complete, you know, it wasn't a grand slam, but I was, I was pleased by the responses because we actually, you know, we didn't just go through and like, here's a gift card or here's this or that.
I won't go into the details, but it worked.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here's your two.
Yeah.
I'll say that.
That's always the thing is, Sam is buying for others.
You know, there's, there are a couple of people that I'm sort of, you might say, obligated to buy for.
And, you know, what do you get the person who has everything?
Like you literally, there's nothing you can give that's the toughest thing, you know, but we always, you know, for those couple of people, we always give it our best shot.
But yeah, I do have one gripe on the buying gifts because for two of my sons who are interested in learning German, I bought the Greg Conte Sieg Heil books.
I mean, I'm talking early December and I have not received them yet.
So, you know, yeah.
So I bought them.
Invisible Empire.
Yeah.
For Imperium.
I can never invisible empire.
And I did receive, they said, okay, your order is complete.
We are shipping.
But, you know, I'm, you know, when you send books, that's like the cheapest, slowest way.
And we will be happy to receive them.
But I'm just saying, you know, we did, we did order those and we didn't receive them yet.
We're going to have Greg on talk about that book too.
I've got it on my bookshelf.
He was kind enough to send me a copy and it's a spectacular production.
Yeah, it looked like it.
I was at a party actually and somebody had a copy and I was, how did you get this?
Where did you get it?
Yeah, where's mine?
So I did see it and I did look through it and I was impressed and happy about it.
And like I say, we will be very happy when they finally are received.
And when you get that little slip inside the book, it's not exactly a receipt, but it's a confirmation of the order.
Invisible Empire has maybe a half or a quarter of a swastika at the top.
So it's like, it's just, is it a rising swastika or is it a setting swastika?
That depends on you.
But yeah, that's a really cool thing.
Rollo and his pills.
I sensed a little bit of, come on, ma.
Like, is that all you think of me?
But were you upset about it?
Or were you like, thanks?
Thoughtful.
No, no, no.
It was fine because I'm at that age where the only things that I want, like, I want new tires.
I want an oil change.
I want breaks.
I want the broken window replace.
Like the only things that I want are things that I actually need in life.
Like if someone's like, I didn't know what to getcha or something.
Yeah, I understand that.
So like pills at least is something practical and it's something I can use.
So and serious question, you're a believer.
You think, because there's an argument to be made that a lot of supplement spending and consumption is certainly unhealthy people thinking that they can make themselves healthy by taking a pill.
There's an element of truth to that, but there's also certainly probably an element of truth to a wide range of, you know, vitamin or mineral deficiencies that people have that these might take care of in the background and not have you feeling like Superman.
You know, you take a turmeric gummy once a day for a month or two months.
You don't feel different, but it's probably still making you better.
Now, most supplements, I would say, you don't need to take them if you're getting whatever is in there already in your diet.
Like if you eat a bunch of oranges, you probably taking vitamins.
Yeah, yeah.
And so on.
If you are Indian, you probably don't need to be taking turmeric.
But since you're not, you know, in the summertime, you know, you're not.
Just demonium aging.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, so certain things like that, like you should be taking things that you are not getting in your diet that are like beneficial to you.
Like you should be taking magnesium if you don't drink a bunch of coffee and eat a bunch of chocolate.
Vitamin D in winter for sure.
Yeah, vitamin D in the winter, unless you go to the tanning salon regularly or live in Hawaii.
But other than that, yeah, you probably need to be putting into your body the things that you need that you don't get.
And if you can get it in pill form, it's better than nothing.
And magnesium before bed is another one too.
Great sleep.
Yeah, I was going to say, you know, not doesn't need to be before bed, but it doesn't hurt.
Yeah.
I got.
Go ahead, Prolo.
Well, and then the other thing is the gift I gave.
I put out a Final Storm Christmas.
Yeah, that was great.
I miss it.
Really enjoyed it.
I posted it in the studio.
It's not like I saw it and disregarded it.
I am honestly a little bit fatigued of the hustle.
That's pretty funny.
And the chats and the Twitter and the keeping up with this and the propaganda and the pressure to like post.
If you don't post, people unsubscribe.
You don't want to lose subscribers, but sometimes you don't have, I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's I literally didn't see it.
Yep.
Well, yeah, it's got like this.
I'm looking now.
Yeah, it's got this sweet little album cover.
Oh, I saw the, okay, now I know what you're talking about.
I saw it's an awesome album cover.
Okay.
I thought you were talking about a special Final Storm episode that somehow knows.
No, no, okay.
There you go.
All right.
That's the disconnect.
Yep.
I did not listen to any of them yet, but you got the pick on the clothes.
You know my taste.
And by all means, it's an awesome album cover.
Yeah.
I'm really happy with it.
Yep.
Yeah.
And but yeah, that was the thing.
And I will for the first time actually plug my show because that with I created a membership tab.
It's five bucks a month.
And then I posted the Final Storm album there, all those songs.
And then that's where all of our commentary tracks are going to be.
And a lot of the last legacy tracks are going to be there.
All right.
Where should people go?
Where should the audience go?
Oh, gosh.
It's the Final Storm on Odyssey.
I think it's just odyssey.com at the Final Storm.
And I believe that that is in our show notes every week for going on a year due to my benevolence.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And there's enough content.
I'm putting up the old songs like when I first started making parodies.
Those are going up there.
Yeah, there is content.
It's not like you pay five bucks a month and then maybe we might do something.
No, There's there's plenty plenty of content for only five dollars a month.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Final storm.
I got a lovely handwritten note in the mail just today that is semi-legible.
You would think that Ash Podsiad Sharp wrote it.
Speaking of which, Ash got moved to a arguably less dangerous prison.
His appeal of his sentence was denied.
Check out White Stag Athletic Club on Telegram for updates on his case.
Sam Melia got out in time for Christmas and to meet his new child.
Good news there.
Ash is slogging.
The J6ers are still keeping their fingers crossed.
I get a Christmas card from a J6er saying we're looking forward to great things in 2025.
Oh, that's a tough one to hope for good things from Trump, but have all that scar tissue from behind and past years.
But anyway, here goes.
And then we got a question for Sam too.
Dear coach, 2024 has been an incredibly wild ride from something to something in the middle again.
Again, can't read it.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Upward and onward, we march onto heaven.
With that said, I'm glad to have had your ear and advise through all of it.
It can't be overstated how much your work with Sam and Rolo and Full House has done and continued to do for the cause.
Can literally be measured in new white lives every year.
I pray for the day that your positive message reaches levels that require announcements at least once a week, if not every single day for the next thousand years.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours.
Thank you, buddy.
You know who you are.
Sticking that one up on the fridge next to my J6 card.
And to the last episode, The Heirs of Abraham with Mark Time.
I was very pleased with it.
I got nice compliments on Sam's pushback.
I got nice compliments on Mark Time's performance.
And this one stood out from this guy.
And I can absolutely understand where I'm of two minds of all of this.
And just to be candid, like the one mind is, of course, Jesus was a Jew.
Like it said it over the cross.
He's there in that land.
He was going into synagogues and stuff like that.
But on the other hand, you can absolutely understand how he might have lived in that land, but he was a rebel and he was not portrayed as that way.
And he portrayed none of their characteristics, either physically or semantically or rhetorically.
So I'll just read this question.
And Sam, it's to you.
And Sam knows I've asked to keep it tight because it's Christmas, but not just to keep it tight for time purposes, but because the question is asking for the best way to answer this when somebody brings it up.
Hey, coach, I thought that discussion was very good, but I was wondering if Sam could go a little further into it.
They say Jesus was not a Jew, as we know the definition to be.
They mentioned, they, I guess, meaning us on the show, mentioned three different definitions, but it wasn't clear to me how to dispel the argument that Jesus was Jewish that boomers and leftists cling to.
I'd like to hear more, even if it wasn't a quick and easy thing to clarify.
And that was from Unsung from the top of the show.
So the elevator pitch, Sam, without trying to rush it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I mean, you say that's what it's said on the cross.
It says I-N-R-I, right?
So where's the J for the Jewish there, right?
There's well, isn't that the Roman Eudaeum?
Right.
They didn't have the letter J, and they didn't, even even when we had the letter J, we didn't make that sound J until much, much later.
You know, and somebody might say, well, what are you making such a big deal about that?
I would say, well, you're the one that's making the big deal about Jews and that he was a Jew.
So I'm just telling you that word was not like that way.
And that word has like a different definition based on the context.
But as far as the time, you know, you have to understand that a couple generations before Jesus was born, you had the Herods married into the Hasmone dynasty.
The Hasmoneans were the last legitimate Israelite dynasty that was in charge there.
And, you know, we will know about the Maccabees, right?
They fought to establish their national identity and stuff like that.
Well, like I say, the Herods married into that Hasmone dynasty.
And Herod had that whole family killed, including his wife that he married.
So that's how he got to be in charge there.
And the Bible says that Herod was an Edomite.
So the Edomites had taken control of, as they would call it, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.
You know, back in antiquities, not only in the biblical terms, but even in other religious contexts, the king would be called the light of the world, the son of God, things like assume those types of titles.
And even in the ancient world, things like the measurements of the temple or of the pyramids or whatever, those were considered to be reflections or measurements that were consistent with things that were present in heavenly places.
So that's the way people thought of those things.
So when the Edomites were in control of the kingdom of God, right?
So then it was taken from them and given to the people that were worthy of its benefits.
So when you understand that, that there's this, the Edomites are part of this thing.
These are all things you could look up.
And I would say, don't take my word for it, but look it up for yourselves, you know, and find out about these things.
So that's just a little bit of explanation.
But, you know, the thing of the Israelites, so in Romans, Paul was saying that because of the faithlessness of the people, the idolatry was actually a punishment that was imposed upon them so that they began to worship a man.
It says like a man, birds, four-footed animals, and even reptiles.
So, and that's also consistent with what you read in the major prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel.
It talks about because of the faithlessness of the people, the people were turned over to idolatry and to worship the creation instead of the creator.
So when we look for Israelites in history or in the world since then, we don't look for Jews.
We look for pagans.
Okay.
You understand what I'm saying?
We don't look for when we are looking for Israelites in this world, we don't look for Jews.
looked for pagans because the Israelites became the pagans pregnant I don't know I I I don't know if you're looking for a response from me on that one, Sammy Baby, but yeah.
Well, you asked and then he gave you the answer.
Okay.
Well, it was for the unsung.
And I would encourage, you know, anyone who happens to be listening and has these things.
It is not, you know, oftentimes I run into somebody who thinks they're holding on to some particular bit of information.
They think like, well, this really invalidates what Sam is saying.
I really like Sam.
I don't want to embarrass him by asking him this question that I think completely invalidates what he's saying.
No, no, ask it.
There is not anything that we have not like covered or thought of.
If any listener has like a thing that, well, how would you explain this?
Definitely contact me or contact the show.
Let me know and I will explain it to you.
Fair enough.
And I take the approach that even if he was a blood Jew, he was a revolutionary one who was able to transcend his curse and revolt against it and create a new order.
You know, assuming certain things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Then that gets into the question like, is there a good Jew?
And so, you know, Christ told this parable about the wheat and the terrors.
It should be familiar to anybody.
And the thing is, when you read the Bible, you cannot read it like a book where you start with Genesis chapter one, verse one, and then you keep reading all the way to the end.
You have to start with Christ because Christ told that parable about the wheat and the terrors.
And then there's a pause there in the gospel and it says, and Jesus revealed things that were hidden since the foundation of the world.
And then he goes on to give the interpretation of that parable.
And then he goes on to say, oh, see, the people who sowed the bad seeds, that's the devil.
And the devil put his seed in the beginning of the world.
So it's like he's explaining it, right?
So there's this good race and this bad race since the beginning of the world.
And modern Christians, they'll say something like, oh, well, that's just a symbol for like, no, no.
Do you understand what you're saying?
Like when you tell a parable and then you give the explanation of the parable, the explanation is not yet some other parable that has to be explained by yet another explanation.
The explanation of the parable is what it is.
And so the devil put his evil seed in the beginning of the world at the foundation.
Okay.
So when you understand it that way, you know, then you could start to disabuse yourself of these things like, oh, well, he was a good Jew.
That, you know, is the question, really.
So it's like, are there good Jews?
You know, that's, that's getting to that.
And if you start by reading Christ first and then read the rest of the Bible in light of Christ, then you will go right.
Fair enough.
I was thinking something.
Well, I'll just share it.
The single most profound I've read not the Bible cover to cover, read some of the classics and the greats, but the one that resonated most with me was thus spoke Zarathustra, as cringe or as base as that might be.
I loved Friedrich Nietzsche.
So if I had to put myself into a pigeonhole of that's that was an awesome book.
It's late.
It's the Christmas season and I should probably venture further down that road for my own good as well as the audience's good and not stir up anything else.
But thank you, Sam, for doing that.
Are you ready to be the new host of Full House when I finally run out of gas and finally say I'm hanging up the spikes?
Well, I would certainly try, you know, and I hope you won't do that because we certainly have had a fun time tonight and it should just show you how easy it is to have a good time on the show without having to, you know, excessively prepare or get yourself worked up or whatever.
That's a little Easter egg for the diehards who make it to the end of the show because I have had, and I put this deliberately at the end, not to be a drama queen or whatever, but I have had those inclinations again.
And I'm looking at this brand new mic provided by Malta and thinking of the curse.
Like as soon as it arrived, I was like, you know what?
Man, I don't know if I have the fire anymore.
I don't want to just keep doing something to do something.
I don't want to be a hindrance to the cause, which I know is right and true.
I'm almost 44.
Are we rehashing the same things over and over again?
It's absolutely enjoyable and rewarding to do a show every two hours or, you know, every week or two weeks for two hours.
I love it and I feel good after doing it.
But at the same, at the same time, my life would be simplified.
And I wasn't lying when I said, man, maybe I should just, you know, focus inwardly.
And the torch has been passed.
We all know that there are hundreds, if not thousands of guys who were fire brands two, three, five, seven years ago who have moved on with their lives.
And for a long time, I've kind of looked down on that as quitter, shirker, you know, no faith, you know.
Well, I would say then, you know, I'm not being a drama queen here, please.
You know, I'm not breaking up my violin, just being candid and honest.
Yeah, I would say that, you know, you got to look at it like, isn't it fun to talk to your pals for an hour or two every week?
Yes, but, but, yes, but I have always hated self-indulgent podcast race.
And we, we do a good show.
It's not like earth shattering, but I definitely don't want to do a show to have a good time.
Lots of people find it comfy and rewarding, and I get that.
I would say that when the day would ever come where we record a show and you say at the end of it, that sucked, then you hit the delete button.
It's not.
Well, I'm worried about me sucking.
Yeah, I'm worried about me sucking.
Yeah.
When you say that was, that was.
But you know, Sam and I can carry you.
Like, what's the problem?
Yeah, but would you tell me if I suck?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We would say like, yeah, sure, whatever.
You suck right now.
Yeah.
I mean, I think that the heart of the show is that we talk about our real lives and talk about things that are going on.
And if it's one hour or if it's two hours, we have fun doing it.
And if that ever happened, which I don't think it ever would, like where it was, that wasn't fun.
Why am I doing that?
Right.
This was fun.
If it did?
If it did, I would say, you delete that show.
But even with the one show being that way, you don't quit you.
Okay, we did three or four shows.
They all sucked, there was no fun.
Okay yeah, then definitely quit.
And and the other thing as I would say is, uh, just in a more general way, because i've known people through the years who, let's say, they think that doing a podcast or even being actively involved in the movement is somehow deleterious or dangerous or something like that, and they're living with that.
I've already, i've already gotten burn.
I've already gotten burned.
It's not about that yeah, yeah.
I'm just saying though, if you know, when it comes to, I can understand, I can understand that somebody says, you know hey, I can't live with this anxiety, I can't live with this uh, weight or the whatever you want to put it.
I understand all that, but as far as just having a, a fun time for an hour or two every week or every other week, I I don't see what the harm is.
And should they get to the point where they suck, and more than once, then yeah okay yeah, then you quit.
I get that, but it's just, I don't think it's anywhere near that.
Well, well put sam, and I don't think so either.
And it's not about like oh, you know i'm tapping out, I can't take this anymore.
The pressure no, not the pressure of making a bi-monthly podcast shut up Rollo, you're fired.
Yeah, we're gonna bring on the best producer ever and uh, that's.
You know that that's me.
I, i'm the best producer ever.
How did you know?
It's all the other shows that I produce.
This is no.
What this literally is about is like what was once a 30 something man with uh, all the fire and you know, vim and vigor of a relatively newly red-pilled convert to the cause, with reason to assume that our trend was upward, not just in terms of networking and like knowing the score and spreading things, but it's now gone to a sustainment effort.
In my opinion.
Active clubs.
I know propaganda or whatever, but it's a long, hard slog.
I'm getting older and I really like like, if I could not feel obligated to post on telegram or like, do a show or whatever.
I'm like, oh man, that i'm not looking for a release from duty.
I just question whether uh, at this stage of my life, it is worth continuing to.
It's not the work, it's whether the work matters and whether like, putting in the time is what makes a difference.
Yeah well, definitely matters.
I would say it certainly is an upward trajectory.
It's just the thing is you're looking at it as the the, the groups you've associated with and the people that you've associated with is not always an upward trajectory, because The biggest problem is we still have to associate with people that are products of this world, and especially, mostly this country.
So we're dealing with people that are crazy.
That's the problem.
So you just, you have these minor either disagreement, uh, disagreements or people do have like genuine personality problems.
But just looking at the reaction to Elon Musk, who was a week ago the golden boy of the normie right.
And then all of them just saying, like, wait, no, I, no, I don't want infinite Pajites.
No, those people suck.
And it was a lot of it was people just saying things as simple as, no, we, we don't need immigration.
We need the borders shut down.
So that's, I do see it.
Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry.
That was, that was, that was you 10 years ago.
No, exactly.
That's the thing.
I was like, I'm seeing, you know, screenshots of the like to ourselves and our posterity and like the first act of the Congress, you know, free white persons of good moral character.
Yeah.
Like that that was 10 years ago.
Yeah.
And it is an upward trajectory.
It's just, it's, it's just gone mainstream.
It's, I don't want to say names, but it's just no longer.
I mean, you know what I'm, you know what I'm getting at.
Sure.
But you know what I'm getting at too.
Like upwardly mobile.
Perhaps I helped contribute to breaking that through.
And now it's out in the mainstream.
And I'm not at the cutting edge anymore.
Or the full house doesn't have to cut.
But a lot of those people are unguided.
Those are people, again, it's like immature people.
That's you 10 years ago.
Twitter noobs.
Yeah.
Like those are people that are just now realizing like, wait a minute, I'm going to be replaced by a Pajit and they're talking the people that are 50, 60, 70 years.
The people that I ruined relationships with in my family are the ones saying that this is a good thing that I'm hold on there.
We're just getting going.
Yeah.
So it's, yeah, it's, it is up, it is trajecting upward.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Yeah.
The demographics keep getting worse and the people waking up keep going up.
The problem is there is no, there's no leader.
But and the good thing is that the liberal utopia fantasy of all the non-whites hold hands sing kumbaya now that Whitey's gone.
That doesn't exist.
All the non-whites hate the other non-whites.
Yeah.
Like even like Asians hate other Asians.
It's not like, I mean, and I'm sure, you know, because it's like, you know, the English hate the Irish and whatever, like all that kind of stuff.
But like the Japanese do hate like the Koreans and the Koreans hate the Chinese and whatever.
I don't know how it works.
But like there's no like harmony among East Asians even.
So like all the non-whites hate the other non-whites.
So while they're all flooding in, like blacks are dealing with Pajites.
And like when and Pajites, they're like, no, no, no, no, you put that down.
You do not come into my store and you do not play your loud rap music on your phone.
Like blacks aren't going to be like, yo, yo, yo, man, chill.
Boys in the hood, but it's yeah, blacks and Pajites and not blacks and Koreans.
Yeah, exactly.
Like they're, they're going to be going at it too.
And then like the only people that are not going to be caught up in this conflict are going to be the white people that are like really just now starting to see like they brought all these brown people in and all these brown people are causing every single problem.
Like when I look around, the white people aren't causing the problems.
Even those annoying white libtards aren't causing all the, you know, plenty of them are, but not as many as the browns are.
So it's there.
And let's just say, every, if everybody who ran a podcast, just today was the last day and all those normies that have just woken up, they're going to be like, who's going to be their leader?
Well, then like your Tim Pools or those types are going to jump in to corral them.
And then and then they're going to eventually they'll they'll find a middle ground where they can get them to accept their own genocide.
I need to move back to Northern Virginia and work in Washington, D.C. again.
That is how to regain my source of it.
No, you work.
No, no, you work from home.
No, work from home takes the edge off.
Yeah.
I think that you have to transition into a, you know, no one can stay in the same, yeah.
No, no one can stay in the same mentality all the time.
After the hernia surgery, Rolo.
Thank you.
I think you have to transition into a different mentality.
You know, I've, when I talk to people, I, and we talk about the way things are changing and all that.
I say, listen, there's, there's maybe some temptation on the part of someone in this thing that, oh, we are exercising some effect, right, on this thing that somehow we're really, I think Horace the Venger said it years ago very well.
It's just that time on the calendar, you know, this is happening on the think of all of all of civilization being like a table that's now tilted in a certain direction and all the marbles are running in that direction.
You know, the the the tend the trend of history has has turned in a certain way.
It is shaken up.
We're we're riding a wave, so to speak.
And so you should do this show because it's fun, you know, and whatever effect it's having on everything, it's all, it's one little ingredient in this whole gigantic wave of an ocean that's changing the tide.
And yeah, if we stopped doing the show today, would it have any effect?
No, probably not.
But it would have an effect, but it would not have, you know, like the effect on the end result.
You know, the end result is already cast.
Everything's going that way already.
Like that Wall Street article, Wall Street Journal article I mentioned to you.
So, but you should do this because it's fun to do it and it's the right thing to do.
And if nobody likes the show, then F them.
And, you know, we have fun doing this show because we like talking to each other.
And sometimes we have guests.
Sometimes we just rap between us.
And that's the reason to do this show.
If it's, if you're feeling stress or like you, you don't have the time or something, you're looking at it the wrong way.
Well, there's nothing wrong with being wrong with being like passive contributors To basically be something to keep it going for the next group because like we can look back on, Sam can go much further back where it was probably at one point, like four people.
It was like four skinheads with boots and braces.
And then a few years later, now it's 20 people.
And then a few years after that, it's 100 people.
And then it's a thousand people.
Then it's 10,000.
So it's the number is going up substantially.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, how many people that are being like race, even like J-aware.
Yeah.
And just a claim.
Jake Shields had Thomas Rousseau on.
Well, I know.
And I got no thrill over that.
I was like, okay, great.
Jake Shields had Thomas Rousseau on.
Like, you know, we've done this before.
Everything is fine.
Honestly, personally, I'm not blackbilled.
I'm not depressed.
Like, I don't want to be repetitive.
I fret about being masturbatory or like inward or just doing a show to have a show.
I know that we do good work.
I know that it makes a difference.
The audience is not huge, but, you know, but at the same time, it's like, okay.
Well, I'm a much different person at 44 in West Virginia than I was at 35 or 37 in Northern Virginia.
And I, you know, you probably could hear it in the first part of the show.
You know, Jim and me sounded like, you know, wounded war veterans or like, you know, you know, boomers over the hill.
Like, I don't want to do a counterproductive show.
I don't want to drag myself to the microphone out of obligation.
I want to have fire and passion.
And that is a very difficult thing to do in this moment in time.
You know, are we, it's like, are we going to like negative react to the Trump administration again for four years or talk about networking and like building healthy white families and making yourself more resilient and healthy?
We could do that.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Or we could hang out for an hour or two every week or two, and that's fine.
That's okay.
There's just some rankling that tells me in the back of my psyche, like you got to hang it up sometimes.
You know, it could be, you know, when you die, or it could be on your own choosing.
But all it's fatigue from Telegram and Twitter and the information war and the dubious hours put in to outcomes.
If you want to quit something, quit all that other stuff and just do the show.
I was going to say, if you want to quit something, quit drinking.
I'm quitting Rolo.
That's my 2025 New Year's resolution.
Broke back about me.
I wish I knew how to quit you.
Yeah.
No, I've been, I mean, yeah, I've had a few tonight, but no, I've been good about drinking too.
Like, I'm being older and getting hangovers that are worse than when I was in my 20s or 30s.
Like, no, I don't need that.
I don't want to feel like that the next day.
Whatever ephemeral joy you get from staying up late and drinking and shitposting is not worth the bill to pay the next day.
But yes, whenever I wake up with a hangover, it's usually after doing this show.
Strangely enough.
I went to a birthday party for a bunch of co-workers on Friday and a girl turned 24.
My gosh, she had like 12 shots in seven gears.
It was in two hours.
Like in like a two hour span, I go, oh my gosh.
I hope that doesn't hit you down the live.
Jeez.
24.
She's got like, you know, three or four years of fertility left.
Yeah, that's too old for most of our guys.
That's a choice.
Oh, no.
She has a boyfriend that I'm fairly certain she's unfaithful to.
Miserable.
Anyway, let's wrap this puppy that was not planned.
Hey, whatever.
That's what we do.
I'm happy to share it.
No qualms, no regrets.
That's just good content.
Even as an irreligious guy, love this time of year, whether you care about the solstice, whether you care about St. Nicholas and Santa Claus and the fairy tales, or whether Jesus was Jewish or not.
Enjoy this time of year.
And the other nice thing is it's only getting brighter for longer.
And from my perspective, you just have to make it through January and February, the two toughest times of the month, especially since moving.
The cold is coming.
Cold is coming.
Oh, yeah.
Gas futures just surged like 20 bucks a billion cubic foot, however, they measure that stuff.
Sam's getting blasted.
I'm getting blasted.
Rolo is going to be sunning himself with one of those tinfoil things out in the desert.
It's okay.
Rolo doesn't tan.
He just burns.
But thank you.
Thank you for riding with us.
This was 203.
We love you, Sam.
We will talk to you.
This is now New Year's Eve, 117 and the Mountain Mama.
Yeah, we'll be back within a week.
We got to get Conte on and we got to continue the slog and the preparation for the great inauguration of the second coming of Trump.
Oh my God.
But yeah, I will be heading into inauguration with my posse.
So hit me up, Telegram, DMs, or by email.
If you're going to be there and maybe say hello, maybe grab a cold one.
All right.
Enjoy this song as Iron Will, right?
Yes.
All right.
We love you.
We'll talk to you next week.
Sam, it's yours.
See ya.
God knows
how many hours of Elon Musk's biography by Walter Isaacson.
Yes, an establishment Jew biographer.
Definitely, you know, one of the best.
He does good work.
He had absolute access to Elon Musk, to his family, interviewing his father and stuff like that.
One of the most interesting things, I won't do a big thing here.
The core point is that abandon all hope, ye who think that Elon is going to save us.
Maybe that's a small segment of the listenership, but guys who are holding out hope that he might be one of us or he's going to come to the light or whatever.
What he cares most about is excellence in exploration, technology, logistics.
He is a climate change believer.
He really does believe fossil fuels are ruining the Earth.
Maybe Hieronymus does too.
But to do those things, what came across crystal clear was his number one, he does not want to die until putting men on Mars.
And I believe that he would sacrifice his own children or, you know, be an anti-racist or even anti-far, whatever.
That's his number one goal.
So, yes, he shares a lot of our ideals, maybe about free speech.
He's probably a little bit race aware.
He knows that the West is collapsing.
The fact that he grew up in South Africa, all those factors.
But he has one job, and I don't think that there's anything that will deviate him from getting people to Mars.
Absolutely admirable man.
He is not neurologically typical.
He comes across as a monstrous conceited asshole in lots of the book.
And he also comes across as a little baby child politically and in the way that things in the world work, probably because he's devoting the vast majority of his mental power to issues of engineering, calculations.
He's got all the headaches with Twitter now and profit, et cetera.
And one last thing is that he hates his father.
He did have at least an emotionally abusive childhood um, and his father is actually kind of one of us.
He said, if the white man leaves South Africa, then the blacks will uh return to the trees.
Um, and I and you know, maybe this is the one you know what I said.
There might not have been groundbreaking, but he's he.
He hated his father when he was a child.
He tried to reconcile with him several times.
His father seems a little bit like a kooky conspiracy guy, but he's race aware and I uh would almost guarantee that his father's racism makes him inclined to not be like his old man which, of course, is another tale.
Old as time.
Go ahead well, without uh, white people, you're not going to Mars.
I tell you then, yeah, he's got, you know he's.
He's got some diverse.
You know he can get some engineering talent from the Subcontinent and whatnot.
You know he's had non-white partners and plenty of Jewish partners uh, you know uh, capital investors from Sequoia and all these other things out in Silicon Valley.
You know he's, he's totally immersed in that world.
So the idea that he's going to pull like a High Iq Kanye one day and and turn the tables on them and pull the rug out from them.
I'm willing to be optimistic on certain people that people can change, that they can see the light, that maybe there is a heroic instinct in some people.
But man, listening to that monstrous biography completely disabused me of all of that.
