Greetings once again, this time from Antarctica, West Virginia.
Big thoughts since our last show.
I went for a long march in moonlit snow, in fact, to tangle with thoughts of purpose, risk, reward, and efficacy, as gay as that may sound.
By pure coincidence, this coincided with listening to Marcus Aurelius' meditations.
Now, if you haven't assumed that classic yet, here is the shortest possible summary.
Your life is short, and you will die soon.
This is not something to fear, but to embrace.
Your name and deeds will be lost to history in short order.
And so you'd be wise not to live as a despondent, fatalistic nay-or-do-well, nor as a grandiose, self-important know-it-all.
Moderation, kindness, and humility should be your watchwords, but also strength, honesty, and courage in a brutal world that constantly tempts one to embrace none of those things.
Now, it did strike me several times that it was easy for the emperor of the world's greatest power at the time to counsel modesty near the end of his life.
I found Marcus's musings nearly the opposite of the Nietzschean counsel in Zarathustra, to go balls deep in living boldly in the upward trajectory, warts and all, come hell or high water.
Regardless of whether you prefer the Marcus or Friedrich approach, my fusion perhaps was, don't take yourself too seriously, but don't discount your precious existence either.
A small, obscure, decent life is better than a grand, famous, obscene one.
But wasted talents or passions for any reason are an offense to man and God.
Now, our little struggle session last show also made me remember why I came to love podcasts in the first place, about a decade ago, to hear relatable people discuss things bouncing around in my own head that couldn't be found anywhere else.
So if our niche is the home of common sense, family-oriented radicalism, so be it.
And totally not related to that, how about this new sheriff in town in Washington so far?
It's another good reminder that things are not always fated to go as they have been in the past.
We'll see about that.
And after all that, Mr. Producer, let's go.
Welcome, everyone,
to Full House, the world's finest show for white fathers, aspiring ones, the whole bio family, and my dog that is not leaving me alone here at the microphone after quite a long absence.
It is episode 204.
I am your cabin-fevered host, Coach Finstock.
It's been like the damn Donner party here in this house over the past month.
Back with another two hours of overdue commentary on the passing scene.
All right, she got tired of me ignoring her.
Before we meet the birth panel, though, huge thanks to the dozen or so kings, friends, who reached out since last show with advice or encouragement.
You know who you are.
I took it all to heart.
And here we are, in case they're wondering who got top billing in consideration.
And we also, of course, salute our grandees of generosity over the past few weeks, just as much.
So to Justin, Johnny, Durandle, King Charles, Rusty R, Volgas, White Stag Athletic Club, V, D.O., and Ravenkeeper.
Thank you guys so much.
Apparently, Sam, we should do fewer shows and I should just wear my heart on my sleeve at the end of each of them.
We'll be rolling it.
I'm joking.
Thank you, fellas.
Let's get cracking with that.
First up, his wife recently privately pleaded with me to get the show back on the road because he has grown a beard, gained 10 pounds, and quit showing up to work without full house to look forward to once a week.
Sam, welcome back.
I'm only joking that your wife did not privately message me, but the rest of it, I'm sure, is true.
Yeah.
Oh, ain't it the truth?
I wouldn't be surprised if she did.
You could have just left it there.
I tell you.
She did.
Yeah, it is good to be back.
And what can I say?
You know, life wouldn't be complete without it.
Yeah, it was right before New Year's Eve.
And I legitimately did not plan.
You know, it was toward the end of the second half and I was just like, ah, rah, bro.
And then it turned into a whole thing.
And I went back and listened to it.
I worried it was going to be melodramatic, cringe, you know, woe is me, or maybe I'm going to hang up the spikes, but it wasn't bad, you know, listening to it with an honest ear.
No, it is very honest.
I mean, all of those things go through any of our heads, goes through my head, because like you say, risk versus reward.
I mean, yeah, our dear, loyal fans who we love dearly, they send in some support to keeps the show going and all that type of stuff, which is wonderful.
But, you know, in the bigger thing, there's a lot of risk involved.
And yeah, I mean, you know, you have to, sometimes it's, you say, what do you, you know, what are you doing it for?
What do you get out of it?
But I, you know, the contact with people, you know, and the, the, it's anything you say is going to sound like a cliche, you know, the community of it, the family of it, you know, but but, you know, Coach and Rolo and Justin and anyone else who's been on this show, especially regular, these are like dear friends to me.
So of course I wouldn't want to diminish it or see it go.
No, absolutely.
Yeah.
The simplest explanation is just that, you know, not every single week do I either want to or feel like we got enough stuff in the hopper to not just flap our gums.
So a bunch of people, that was probably the most common refrain was go to once every two weeks or just do it whenever you feel like it.
You know, this is not a business and we don't have to worry about the constant churn.
And if you don't care about growing into a Spotify tier Rogan-S podcast or whatever, then, you know, just fly, fly casual.
So perhaps we'll at least take that under advisement.
Anyway, Sam, it's been colder here than ever in this part of eastern West Virginia.
I've never seen the thermometer go into negative numbers here ever.
And it did that a couple of nights, the past couple of nights.
I don't think I've experienced this cold since Russia in 2001, honestly.
And it's got to be worse for you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we've already had a couple of stretches like this.
This last one was especially bad.
And I had to laugh seeing a picture on the weather channel of the Gulf of America.
You're familiar with the Gulf of America?
All iced over under snow on the shoreline there.
Right, right.
Yeah.
And we've had our even some cycles of where it's Precipitation, it's moisture, and then there's deep freeze.
So it gets very icy.
In fact, on the on the road on the way to work, I uh I drive a little car, and actually, I think it's it's good on the ice because it's I feel like I'm just kind of floating on top of it.
It's a small light car, and I could feel the wheels kind of struggling and a little bit of wiggling and things going on.
So I took my foot off the gas and I was just coasting, and then I came up on all the cars, at least four of them in the ditch.
And I mean, just not somebody run off the road, cars pointed the wrong way, flipped over, and it was just uh horrible on the uh, I guess it's kind of a highway.
It's not the freeway, but it's kind of like a skyroad state road.
And I mean, oh, it was it was treacherous.
Close call for you, or you had plenty of time to no, they were all off in the ditches.
I could feel the car kind of wiggling, and but I'm sure that cars behind me were it was that exact stretch of highway for some reason got uh very iced up.
And I'm sure other people were crashing in that same area.
I almost lost control, but um, I kind of went to the middle a little bit and it was fine.
But yeah, it's been extremely cold.
We could probably do a whole thing on our winter escapades, and I've got a wonderful snowblower story for later.
But it's great to be back and yeah, uh, whatever you got in your stack, Sam, we'll get to it after we talk about the talk, not just of the town of the damn world from the past three to four for real.
Uh, all right, next up, I honestly don't know if he was grateful for the extended winter break or also morbidly eating, quitting the gym, but I knew that he would be here tonight regardless.
Rolo, welcome back, bud.
I am Rolo, and I am here.
Thank you.
Okay, uh, any well, where you are, it's not Antarctica, but hey, hey, it's it's been freezing, you know, 32, yeah, you know, about 50 in the day, about 20 something at night.
I'm getting some snow this weekend, getting down to 15 on Sunday.
No frozen pipes for you.
We had we had some frozen pipes down in our little shed that I'll share later.
Um, let's see, you got boomers and dates and stuff like that.
You want to tease anything right now or just save it for later?
Oh, we could save it for later because, yeah, I got thoughts on the on the last three days and a boomerism that went with it, and then some personal stuff.
You know, very it's still maybe it's my headphones, or maybe you are on a different mic, but you don't sound quite quite as crisp and opinionated as you usually do.
So, uh, if you want to go for it and just check your settings, uh, it might just be nothing has changed.
Okay, all right, don't call me crazy, and also a pleasant surprise, always a welcome last-minute edition.
Our pal Justin parachuted in at the last minute because he is out in the doghouse tonight.
His wife kicked him out of the house.
I don't know if he's in the doghouse or in the truck or whatever.
Mostly kidding.
Justin, welcome back, big guy.
Yes, I am in the doghouse.
It's normally my work office, and I don't spend a lot of time out here unless I'm working, but here I am.
Now, truth be told, you said, Yeah, I could use a little me time right now, last minute coming on.
Any drama, or is it just like the standard winter stuff?
Like, yeah, let me go talk to my bros for a couple hours instead of wife time.
Yeah, a little, a little drama, I suppose, I guess.
Yeah, and no, it's fine.
We, we talked about this in the pre-show a little bit when you were taking a little break.
Um, But yeah, it's my wife committed a fatal error.
I'm not a fatal error, but one of the button pushers, you know?
And I was just like, you know what?
We're good for tonight.
I kind of need to go do my own thing.
She didn't say it was time for an open marriage, did she?
No, nothing like that.
Okay, not a cardinal sin.
All right.
Just a bit.
No, it was one of those, she did one of the never always type things where there's no argument, right?
Unless you just want to fight it out.
Right.
And so we talked about this a little bit, but it was, you know, you, you never do X.
And it's like, well, I do, but now I feel like, you know, you're behind the eight ball if you're like trying to argue to do the thing that she says you never, because only one of you can be right at the beginning of this conversation.
So there's no conversation right now.
It's a fight.
Yeah.
It's so innocently.
And it's so, so it sounds like, well, you know, we're just talking about this thing.
Well, no, we're not actually.
It's just, there's nowhere to go with that.
So let's revisit that one later for sure.
And just between you and me, you've always been one of those guys who says that nothing good happens after midnight.
And it just so happens that most of our, you know, domestic disputes when the sheriff has to show up here because there's a call.
I'm joking.
But they're usually after midnight.
So I actually started to joke.
My wife and I are on very good terms right now, despite a lot of time together in this weather.
And I started joking.
I'd look at the clock and I'd tap my wrist and say, we've got 10 minutes to talk, honey.
And then just shut it down right at midnight.
And it's become a fun joke.
But sometimes I actually stick to it.
I'm like, no, I'm out of here.
I'm going to bed.
It's true.
All right.
A little wheezy.
We would have been back two days ago, but that time of year for colds and stuff too.
My daughter was on death's doorstep.
I got it.
And now our youngest has it.
But I honestly think, gents, that we, I won't say we, I at least am reasonably, cautiously pleased, surprised, and optimistic about the performance of Trump and the executive orders and the decisions.
Not all of it, not all the appointments.
I don't think that we're ushering in the fourth Reich right now.
But I think you'd have to be up your own ass, living in a delusional fantasy land and possibly retarded to not be sincerely pleased by the course of events over the past three days.
Am I wrong?
Who wants to go first on that?
No, certainly.
And there's nothing wrong with liking something that's going well.
I hope it does result in some kind of good for the country.
Certainly we're cautious and cynical even about Trump and all those people.
But, you know, you got to like some of the things.
If it's playing out, it's already, you know, we're already demonstrating the so-called Trump effect in various ways.
And companies and companies that are relocating into the country.
I've been reading about different companies that were in China or elsewhere that are moving back to the country.
There's things about tariffs for Mexico and Canada.
You know, I mean, hey, there's nothing wrong with being happy about maybe some things that might go our way.
Everything is not always bad.
Yeah, you spitting or looking a gift horse in the mouth came to mind often.
Being the guy in the corner of the party with the little drink and say, you know, they don't know that i'm a Nazi or race aware or totally critical of the Jews, while everybody else is very happy, came to mind.
Now, I don't will give the critics or the guys who were absolutely stubbornly refusing to take any amount of joy or sincere.
Even analytically, they could find things wrong with all this stuff, and so much has changed, whether it's symbolic or whether it's going to be fought in the courts or whether you know it, it may not last beyond a few years.
Yes, Eos can be rescinded, etc.
It's not all perfect um, but I do want to give those guys a little bit of credit for not you know, there is obviously an element of clapping seals in the MAGA crowd.
For sure, we have been brutally critical of Trump for a long time um, and i've got a.
You know there were.
So there were so many things that came out.
It was a sort of political shock and awe that I started making a list here and then I ran out of time and hopefully uh, Justin and Rollo and Sam can fill in any blanks that I missed.
Uh, but sorry, go ahead, consider like this thing with uh, deporting people and bringing the military to the border and shutting down and all that.
Okay well, somebody could say well, the next guy can just let them all back in again.
Yeah, I know, but look at the message it's sending the.
The message is, you can't trust America.
I mean, they might say, immigrants welcome, and then they'll say immigrants not welcome.
They start throwing people out.
You know, even even if somebody undoes the thing later, the message is going out to the world.
We are not.
Uh uh uh welcome, matt.
And uh uh, at very least you know.
And the same thing with with tariffs or protectionist things or things that you might point to along those lines.
I mean yeah sure, somebody could, could roll it back, but hey that's, you're just showing that you could.
You never know what's going to happen with America.
Yeah, the avocados might be more expensive.
Uh not, every immigrant is going to be caught.
The sight of the absolutely feral Haitian sort of yelling out of the van window, you can't jump, i'm not going back to Haiti.
He was like, uh, Walter White, you know, Jesse?
And then Tom Homan was like, uh yes, you are going back to Haiti.
Now I am, i'm deliberately restraining myself, i'm not going Maga hat back on, i'm not, you know, going to Greatagain.org, of course doesn't exist.
That was the uh the first go around.
The scar tissue is still there.
We are not uh stupid, whatever Devin Stack called people with like short-term memory or, you know, we remember all of the bad things.
The really interesting thing and it's not about me, and I know Rollo agrees with this, like they don't care what we think, they just won a massive, somewhat surprising, overwhelming election victory and it was very scant appeals or dog whistles to us.
This time it was immigration, it was tariffs, it was Kamala Sucks, it was uh against the tranny stuff, the worst of the left's excesses.
But this is what.
And just to go a little bit back down history lane, I was, I got a lot of guff for being Semi-trump bullish At some point, like late 2023, maybe early 2024.
And my thesis was that no man who's half sentient could possibly have gone through what he did and not come away from it radicalized and with a fire under his ass to get revenge and to achieve the things that he failed to do or couldn't do or didn't care to do the first time around.
That was my rational assessment that this would be a second Trump, a punished Trump, not perfect, still Philosophite.
That's absolutely baked in the cake.
Sorry, you don't get everything you want in life.
And then when he started opening his mouth about Israel and legal immigration and stapling green cards, the diplomas and stuff, that was when I just said, this sucks.
But we'll get to Rolo and we'll get to Justin here too.
The thought absolutely occurred, Sam.
The one thing when we had that bad audio recording at the campfire with the bros, your statement, don't be so proud.
If he pardons our friend, it will have been worth it.
Who the hell are you to say, no, he should stay in prison because Trump is not perfect, right?
It takes a sort of arrogance to be that so far up your own political analysis ass.
And my point was like, yeah, if I lived in a swing state, I would hold my nose and vote for Trump.
Of course, I wrote in because West Virginia was number two to Wyoming in terms of the percentage that it went for Trump.
And he did it.
He dropped the bomb and Axios reported that there was a big debate about whether he was going to pardon some all piecemeal, roll it out.
And then he just said, Rolo, you can bleep this.
He just said, handsome Cuban, release them all.
Which is vintage him.
Unpredictable, right?
The wind's blowing one way and he wants to let everybody in.
The wind's blowing the other way and he says to Portamo.
That's it's a gamble.
It's a gamble and it's paying off right now as of this moment.
Yeah, we're overjoyed for our guy.
I mean, he had a child while he was locked up.
I mean, it's complete travesty.
He's looking at another, what, four years to three and a half years?
2027 or 2028 at least.
Yeah.
I mean, could you imagine?
I mean, so I was overjoyed, you know, when like I, like I said before, if that's the one thing we get, it would certainly be worth it for that reason alone.
I know.
And everybody was like, oh, well, I only see a list of 14 names.
I don't see 1500.
And you just had to go into the fine print to find it all.
I did make contact with his closest contact.
We had spoken, of course, a couple of times while he was behind bars.
Beautiful picture.
I almost got choked up looking at six, you know, meat of their lives white men outside this federal penitentiary in the snow in their like sweatpants or their Shawshank redemption jeans.
It looked like they almost had Chuck Taylors and rolled up jeans, just smiling and making the hand gestures.
And guys are like, what the hell are they doing there?
Are those gang symbols?
Did they join the Aryan Brotherhood and then clink in that?
They were like, no, they're just doing a bad job of making J6 with their hands.
It felt like a million bucks.
Like, I don't care what you think about Trump.
He just let all those people.
And yes, he should have done it the first time.
All that stuff.
That's just like the icing of the cake.
That is small ball or that's microeconomics.
I have to call out the TRS guys and Devin Stack for saying, well, you know, you want to play a revolution.
You got to do your time.
Or that's not good enough.
Now release ABCDEFG.
It's like, okay, yeah, I understand the strategy of demanding more.
And yes, even back then in 2021, we were like, there's no way we're risking our ass for Trump on January 6th going down there.
But all's well that ends well.
Somebody said, do you think that those guys are not going to have been radicalized or not know the score as a result of doing time?
Whether it's just that they hate the left more or whether they see the error of their ways and sort of blindly go in there to be set up and put away for so long.
It's a happy ending in the best sense of the word.
And I want to go to Justin first because Justin has had some wise cutting commentary.
to the folks at the party.
And again, I don't want to dump on the Trump skeptic skunks who rightfully remind us that this is not like, you know, Rome wasn't won in four days and bad things are to come.
Absolutely agree.
But it's almost inhuman to not be able to smile and feel a little bit better about things as they stand now versus four days ago.
Yeah, I mean, it's, it's a, it's a thing in our sphere where people seem to hope for the worst because then it makes them feel like now people are going to come around better.
Or it affirms our worldview.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Take the wind.
I mean, it's, it's the same, like we had spoke before, like about the abortion issue, right?
So you have a lot of our guys were saying, well, we just need abortion to be legal.
So the people we don't like will abort their children.
It's just like, that's just, that's such a ghoulish, terrible way to look at it.
Yeah.
But that's, that's pretty common.
And the take the, take the W. I agree to a certain extent.
Somebody called it orange pussy crumbs or something like that.
I was like, the mass pardoning of people described as insurrectionists and terrorists is not freaking crumbs.
That is a massive thumb.
If you hate the system, a president who's willing to just blanket release 1,500 of his supporters, many of whom did legitimately commit felonies, whatever you think about January 6th in the setup or whatever, like you assault a police officer in theory, you know, the rules apply.
You're going to do time.
And he just waved his magic wand.
The boomers, you know, if you look at polls, the majority of people don't like it.
So I, and I understand the criticism of take the W as like settling somehow or saying, thank you, Master, you know, for this one little thing.
I'd really prefer intergalactic labens rum for the Aryan race, but we don't have it right now.
And I'm just not able to do it.
And I recognize psychologically, it's really funny phenomenon what's going on right now.
You know, you see the hardcore guys saying, you stupid shills, you have a memory of a mouse or whatever animal has really bad memory.
And it's like, no, I get it.
When the first EO started coming out, I was like, okay, Vince McMahon won, maybe Vince McMahon two, affirmative action.
Holy cow, mass amnesty.
Oh, Ross Ulbricht.
I don't particularly care about that one.
I was like, man, I got a little bit of egg on my face for being such a doubter and such a skeptic.
It was totally warranted.
We all lived through the first term, but there was a temptation to be that skunk and say, enjoy your little false, you know, Pyrrhic victories right now.
Just wait until the amnesty and the rest of it comes in infinity jeets.
That may come, but I just was humanly incapable of not saying, you know, not saying, okay, you got to give it to him.
It reminded me of that old famous tweet from Drill where he was like, upon advisement from my lawyer, I should not and do not, in fact, got to hand it to ISIS.
And it's like, yeah, I had to hand it to Trump and his team for just doing it.
But sir, go ahead.
There's two points there, right?
Yes, you should be concerned about this, that it's not going to be the end, but it's a yes and yes.
He did these things for us.
Now we can ask for the next thing.
And if he's going to play this game where he's going to give us what we want, great.
Here's the next thing we want.
Keep putting that in front of him.
Right.
And that's not.
Go ahead.
Sorry, please.
Yep.
The other side of that too is right.
So we come out of the gate with this.
We get a lot of what we are wanting.
Did any of those EOs talk about more people from India?
No, it did not.
Well, why is that?
Well, it doesn't really matter why, but it's just his focus was, let's give my people the red meat they want.
Let's feed my supporters.
And he was very clear that releasing people who supported him in the past and getting rid of illegal migrants, at least on the first stage, is a more important decision than legal migration.
So that shows that he or his people know that we're already not big fans of migration or immigration at all.
So maybe there's infinite pejites coming, but it would be a big sign, it'd be a big difference if he had done that first or even alongside what he's doing now.
They didn't.
That still hasn't happened yet.
And so I've tried to counsel some people like, hey, the things he's doing or that have been done do matter more than the things he could do.
Like if there's a positive reaction to him doing these things, we don't have to sell our souls to Trump.
We're like, hey, this is really good.
We want you to go more in this direction.
Maybe he just never does these infinity Pajites.
Entirely popular.
Not delusional.
And we have the evidence from the H-1B.
Poohaha.
And Rolo, I'm going to you next.
You've had enough time to deliver the most profound political statement since Cicero.
But that showed that a lot of Indians, and yes, it was racial.
Yes, it was immigration.
And that arguably got Vivek kicked out to Ohio to try to swindle the Ohioan people.
And buddy said, that'd be pretty Ohio for them to vote him in now.
So on the one hand, they don't care what white nationalists think because we're not included in their calculations.
Probably they know we're what?
Maybe 1% of the white electorate, maybe slightly more with inclinations toward us.
But the H-1B thing showed that it would be like one of those stone toss cartoons where you got the guy with the swastika armband looking at the wicked witch with the yellow star on her armband and it's Laura Loomer.
And we're all tugging to be like, no, please, we do not need more Indian programmers in this country.
It's perhaps an ugly marriage of convenience.
But that was a shitstorm that absolutely resonated in the campaign where they said, ooh, okay, that is a strong data signal that if we're still going to pursue that, it's going to be Harry.
And obviously the only, and the other thing is, well, you know, he's already in the office.
You have no more leverage on him whatsoever, which is funny because some of the like anti-J6 pardon poo-poors were like, well, now I want this, this, and this.
And it's like, you know, do you have no leverage over him?
Or are you just like virtue signaling that you're, that's not good enough.
And now we want James Fields released too, which by the way, he should.
Derek Chauvin may get pardoned.
But where there is common ground on immigration opposition, immigration patriotism is where the rubber could hit the road in terms of preventing the worst inclinations of Trump.
And I just realized tonight, hey, DACA is still alive now.
You'd think that that would have been one of the softballs, but Trump, for whatever God stupid reason, all his old history with Obama and criticizing him and Syria and all that still apparently has a weakness and a soft spot for the DACA babies who are now, you know, full up grown DACA adults.
So not a perfect few days, but well, plenty more to celebrate.
Yeah, go ahead.
Birthright citizenship.
I mean, he's ended the birthright citizenship.
Not yet, of course, and absolutely going to be a legal slot.
Might go to the Supreme Court and get struck down.
But all these things were things that he either promised or that we were screaming from rooftops that he should do, especially after they got shellacked in the midterms in 2018.
We were like, hey, nothing to lose.
You just lost your majority.
Go big.
Do the executive orders.
And he never did, probably in some part because Jared and Avaka were in there and the rest of the flunkies that were barely pro-Trumpers.
Now, there's a whole new cast of characters from Silicon Valley, right, who we have to worry about now, whisper in his ear about artificial intelligence and immigration.
So we'll see about that.
But DACA and H-1Bs and stuff like that are battles to be fought that are not being fought right now.
And as soon as those trial balloons go up or you hear people start talking about it, then it'll be social media shitstorm.
And if it got to the level of war with Iran or the most grotesque advantages to Israel, then you could see, if they don't get deported, the pro-Palestinian people, some common cause there.
Again, down the road.
For now, I'm able to think long term and I'm able to enjoy objectively good things in the moment.
Not to be preachy.
Sorry.
Well, and like I said earlier, just the idea, it sends a certain signal.
Let's say people are considering taking the risk of coming to this country and especially illegally or on some kind of program or whatever.
Hey, you're seeing the message.
There's a strong sentiment in this country.
We don't want these people here.
And as much as for many years that the sentiment has not been given any attention or fulfillment, now there is that hint.
Here you have the president of the United States making these types of noises.
And I think that that is at least good in a sense, that it shows that there's that sentiment out there.
Absolutely.
And, you know, one of our pals, the skeptics, the cynics, said, do you really think America is going to be whiter at the end of this four years?
With Trump in power, probably not.
And Justin raised a good point that, sorry, the boomer die-off is the biggest single factor.
But I also think it's delusional to think that we're going to be less white under Trump than we would have been under the Indian Jamaican literally married the Jew as a part of the Democratic Party where open borders is probably, you know, like the guidepost for them going forward.
Rolo, sorry, I have not meant to bench you there.
Go ahead, Sam, and then over to Rolo.
And if there's any dissent here, please, I certainly didn't assemble us to all be on the same page.
There's no hectoring.
I think we're all just reacting to this as normal white men and giving a little credit.
Yeah, giving a little credit.
Okay.
Good.
I was just going to make a here a point.
One of the Telegram channels I go on is called Middle East Spectator.
And this is like Arabs and Muslims and things like that.
And that's where you're getting your breaking election news on our live stream.
Yeah, they're better than CNN.
I mean, what can I say?
But on there, of course, they're very brutally honest about what they think about Trump and U.S. politics in general and things like that.
So I think you could read that and get like a pretty good barometer as far as what we could think about the Middle East.
I know that we think Trump's a Zionist and I suppose you could say he is.
Oh, for sure.
But even on there, they are actually citing things where Trump is making, they're quoting Trump saying things like, I want peace with Iran.
I think we can work things out here.
I'm looking forward to meeting with whatever his name is.
And as much as on that channel, they would be looking for any opportunity to say how bad the U.S. is and how bad U.S. politics are.
Even there, they are a little bit saying like, wait a minute, there might be a little bit of a possibility here that Trump is going to settle things down.
And, you know, there's also the thing with Netanyahu, right?
Like Trump retweeted something about him being the evil guy and he doesn't like him, something like that.
He was.
Yeah.
And then Netanyahu did not attend the inauguration and so forth.
And I'm not trying to build up Trump.
Oh, yeah.
You see he's going to be good for the middle.
Plant trusting, Sam.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm just saying that even the people who would mistrust him even more than us, maybe are saying like, hey, he's making some signals that he wants to work with people and he wants to settle things down in that region and, you know, which would be better than what's the last four years.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
And we all just assumed we were getting Infinity Pajites and War with Iran.
And several people have said, well, war with Iran is not quite so simple.
Yes.
And yeah, we'll see.
Rolo, over to you.
You've been quiet for too long.
Astound the audience.
Unless you can just say, yeah, you guys are all right.
Well, I have very little disagreements here.
Oh, Elon Musk on the podcast.
Yeah.
But I think you have to be realistic with what you can get out of whatever.
And the best thing that you can hope for with a Kamala Harris presidency was an enemy to point a finger at.
But we had that under Biden.
And I would say.
Four years of it.
Yep.
Biden was pretty radicalizing.
Like, how much more radical do we need to get?
Because we had people that were like replying to just basic tweets.
Like they were just, you know, here's Holocaust denials.
Here's race statistics.
There was just a bunch of things like that.
So how much more radical do people need to get?
Because do you think do you think that if Kamala Harris was president, it would radicalize people to the point where everyone with a firearm or any kind of lethal weapon would just take to the streets and then just begin overthrowing the government and corporations?
Like you, you have to be, that is such a fantasy that the Turner diaries coming true is more realistic than that.
So yeah, just having the J6ers pardoned.
And we were really expecting.
Now, maybe we weren't like they're the gentlemen that we know, you know, maybe he perhaps got a little exuberant that day in his celebrations.
I didn't think he was getting out.
Oh, go ahead.
Sorry.
Right.
I was going to say, certain people, like we didn't think maybe that guy was on the list because they said, you know, the non-violent offenders, but we were not expecting everyone to get out.
Yep.
And just and the fact that he let everyone out when this, there was, there was so much propaganda around J6, threat to our democracy, threat to our democracy, threat to our democracy.
A symbol of America's freedom.
Oh, this, this is the worst attack on foreign soil that we've had in decades.
Like all these things.
And just, oh, nope, those guys did nothing wrong.
They're all free to go.
Just letting all of them out.
What more do you want from a president?
Like that we can get.
Oh, and including his own vice president.
Like the day before was signaling, well, of course, we're not going to let the violent ones out.
It'll be a deliberative process, et cetera.
And then, you know, the literature.
But I'm just saying, like, what else do you want?
Like, like, realistically, like, we live under a system that wants us dead.
Like, they want to kill us.
Like, they are literally importing third world monkeys.
They are basically bringing in monkeys that can barely function.
They can't even keep their own societies afloat.
And they're bringing them in to destroy probably the best country that was ever created.
Like, just the scale it was, just from a from a technological and architectural and agricultural standpoint.
Other than Nazi Germany, you mean?
America is just a little bit bigger.
Nazi Germany is a better government, but I just mean the grand scale of everything.
And they're willing to destroy all of that by bringing in a bunch of subhuman monkeys just to kill us.
So that's the thing that you have to operate from.
And then the fact that they let men with families go some women too, but mostly men with families, they let them return and give them a full pardon so they can go back to like a regular life and have more babies.
Have more babies.
And people saw that.
So if you think that people are like, they're unradicalized by that.
And I know there are plenty of people that may have been like, I'm not so sure about this Trump guy.
And then that happened.
Like, yep, MAGA hat back on.
But those people don't really matter.
But after the last four years, nobody goes from being race real or JQ understanding to just not being.
Right.
You know, there's people, people can unplug and check out.
People unplug and they check out.
And like, oh, you know, I don't do the IRL talks.
I don't do online discussions anymore.
But there's, you don't go back to seeing a black guy and be like, you know what?
Yeah, I think I was wrong about them.
They're just like me.
This is an important point, actually, because this is something even I remember hearing 30 and 35 years ago, the left would complain, oh, the right wing, the white wing, as we used to say back then, the white wing is a revolving door because we would complain about that.
Oh, people, they get involved and then they drop out.
But the left would say, yeah, they drop out, but once people have their minds opened in that way, they don't stop thinking that way.
You know, even if you drop out of the formal movement, so to speak, people keep thinking that way.
So the left understands that.
Right.
And after these last four years, things got so bad and they were really looking for answers because the mainstream right, they weren't giving good gatekeeping answers.
Like even Elon Musk, prior to his mask slip, he was kind of tiptoeing around like race realism.
Yeah, yeah, but people were still seeing it and then they were seeing with other accounts.
And that's what they were seeing.
Like, you know, Sean Hannity wasn't providing any answers.
So all you had was basically Twitter and Instagram.
And then there's a lot of racisms there.
And that genie is just, it's not getting shoved back in the bottle.
And I do not think that a Harris presidency would be better.
There's no, there's, there's, you can't convince me that.
And if you want to talk about like, look how Jewish Donald Trump is.
Okay, Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
Kamala Harris, she is like legally retarded, I bet.
I bet her IQ is 75.
Do you think that her Jewish husband and her adopted Jewish kids are not going to be at the forefront of every decision made?
And her husband probably would be essentially the president of the United States.
I'm not too worried about Howard Lutnick reigning over the Commerce Department and massively expanding Jewish power and the tentacles of the United States.
He wanted the Treasury Department and said, we got a gay guy there to handle the shekels.
Well, you were going to get that anyway.
Like all these things, you're going to get that anyway.
Like all these cabinet positions, no matter what, they're still going to be Jewish and they're still going to be focused on Zionism.
Like you can't tell me these last few years were not like, oh, this was a bad year for Jews.
The only thing that was bad about it was it was so bad that people just started noticing them.
Hamas created the only bad thing for Jews during the Biden administration.
Yeah.
And that was a total accident.
That would have happened under a second Trump term too.
And to the J6 thing, too.
Are some of those people, I was going to say dumb rubes or whatever.
Are they unsophisticated and just slavish Trump affectionate?
Sure, some of them are.
I guarantee some significant percentage of those guys learned a very hard life lesson and are now more or less our guys.
Some of them are for sure.
And remember, there were other people who went to J6 who had a sort of Damocles hanging over their head for the past four years, wondering whether feds were going to show up and smash their door in at 4 a.m. and haul them off to the gulag.
Those people, too, I don't know who they are.
Like I wasn't harboring a criminal or whatever.
Maybe even somebody who was just there or was just like curious.
I guess it was Jason Kessler who was like, oh, now's my chance.
Here's my selfie from the Capitol steps.
If somebody is spitting on that or poo-pooing it, man.
It really calls their judgment into question.
Go ahead.
And also those 1,500 guys that got, they definitely, one, got radicalized in prison.
You go to prison and you understand race immediately.
That's just how it happens.
And also, Trump left him there.
Sure, some of them will be, thank you, Trump, for letting me out.
But a bunch of them are going to be like, you could have pardoned him.
Yep.
Yeah, you could have pardoned me.
You had the chance to do it.
He was too busy with stop the steal grifting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there are a lot of things.
And to already shut it all down just so you can collect some premature I told you so's.
Well, like, do you think you win wars and friends with hot takes?
I would argue, no, you don't.
And why don't you just like shut up and see what happens?
Because the best strategy to have for things like this is once someone ousts themselves as a traitor, the best that they could ever be is just a tool.
And I don't want a tool like the pejorative.
Like, if he does anything good, okay, that's good.
But we're not going to forget all the bad stuff that you did.
We're not going to forget who you are.
And that's not just for Trump.
That's just in general.
It's transactional.
It's politics.
You can do one thing and you can do another thing.
You can celebrate one thing.
You can be watchful and absolutely at the barricades on another thing as we should because it's not, you know, we're not out of the woods yet.
We just have a bounty of very promising data points.
And if you really wanted, you know, if you want Uncle Sam to collapse tomorrow and that's the way to white liberation, I understand your logic because there's a ton of rot.
And, you know, even if you put aside the JQ and stuff like that, just the absolute deracinated materialistic aspect of so much of American existence and imperial power is a problem.
But especially as fathers, especially as people with jobs, especially as people worried about getting debanked or getting totally censored out of existence and worried about the IRS or federal agents showing up at your door or whatever, all of those things are significantly reduced as of right now.
Knock on wood.
I haven't bought a MAGA hat.
I haven't literally celebrated.
But just driving around today, I was thinking, it's a different era.
There's a vibe shift to borrow from the left.
And it is a good, promising thing.
And you can be happy in one moment and not like declaring victory the next.
But I have been waiting curiously for Justin's pregnant pause about his dissent there too.
It will go right back to you, Sammy baby.
Yes.
I am like nine months pregnant right now.
So waiting to talk about it.
But yeah.
I want to roll back to what we talked about with Trump on the DACA issue.
And the DACA issue is a two-year deferment of their deportable status, basically.
Yeah.
That they get some sort of a renewed.
Yeah.
And it's closed.
There's no new DACA applications.
That's been the case for a long time.
They just have, it's been like, you know, Reagan's adage about federal programs.
You just can't kill it.
It could have been.
Several judges have ruled against it, and yet it is a zombie amnesty through the backdoor program.
Sorry, I'll shut up.
No, sure.
And that's fine.
But the issue is it's only a two-year deferment, right?
So if this not, this is not being continued by his administration.
There's basically a rolling block of people on the DACA program that are going to be deported.
I mean, they're already registered, right?
So all their information is in the system.
These are the easiest people to deport.
You just wait for the DACA program to end on their two-year cycle and deport all of them and it's gone.
It's done.
And so I think this is a good play by Trump's people.
He could have made it a fighting point, but the problem is, is that DACA is such a well-known piece of legislation.
No, not legislation, but it has been out there.
Yeah, it never passed, but the Dems have always tried to pass it to legalize it and hasn't.
It's a hot button for them.
So for him to touch on it means he's going to activate all the leftists to respond to it.
But at this point, all he has to do is not say anything about DACA at all.
And on a two-year rolling basis, move all these people out.
If that's what he's doing.
Right.
And he can get rid of all these people.
So I think it's strategically speaking, if you wanted to roll all these DACA people out and get them out of the country, not talking about it is the best way to do that.
So I'm not saying that that's what is happening.
What I'm saying is if he is trying to just move all these DACA people off the board, move them back to their home countries, saying nothing about it is part of the process of doing that the most effective way.
This is dredging up all my old scar tissue from the first term.
I remember, here's a little inside baseball.
I don't think he'd care a damn if I shared it.
But, you know, when Trump in 2017, I think it was when he came out, he's like, these are Americans.
They were born here.
They know no other country.
Why would we want to deport the Dreamers?
And I was in an argument, a very heated argument with Jazz Hans McPhield's IRL, where he did the whole, you don't play cards with your cards showing up.
I was like, yeah, but you don't promise that you don't speak good things about something that you're planning to kill.
And oh man, did he turn red as a cherry that someone had the temerity to oppose him on a political take?
I was like, man, this guy's got some Irish anger issues.
But that is since he's been elected and since he's been giving all these off the cuff remarks, he's said, again, positive things about the H-1Bs where he didn't previously.
Let's ground ourselves.
He said, you know, we love legal immigration.
We want people to come into this country.
Never forget that he said off the cuff and state of the union.
We want more people to come into this country than ever before.
So we're by no means out of the woods.
You make me think that you're a little bit plan trusting on DACA.
Like, just kill the damn thing.
If you're willing to go raid cities and shut down refugee flights and have crying oboelas at the border, who gives a damn about the fake ass effing dreamers?
Sorry, that's not you, Justin.
That's just, yeah.
Also, we've also seen how anti-immigration people are now, where I think first term people were a little more accepting of immigration.
It's definitely accentuated now.
Yeah, it's like, especially against Indians, like everyone hates Indians.
White women that refugees welcome hate Indians.
Like you, you can get like the most died in the wool lip tards to say zero argument for it aside from the corporate class.
Yep, from the IT class.
And Coulter, who was, you know, she was like one of the original Trump haters in 2017.
Like, what the hell is going on with this guy?
I wrote the book.
You won the election and now you're screwing everything up.
Said, this is essentially what we were promised the first term.
Did he have a come to Jesus moment?
Remember, we were totally worried when he like took the ear shot and seemed to tack toward the middle and go all wishy-washy as if he had a brush with death and now he was all kumbaya and love.
Was it tactical genius on his part?
Was it him just off the cuff and whatever?
It makes me feel a little bit sick, actually, to be back in this cycle of hinging on what Trump says or does or having to be at the ramparts to guard against bad things.
But I mean, it's just the reality.
It is weird.
Go ahead, Sam.
Yep.
It's weird to think about him like that he's, is he really developing in the way like we all did a long time ago, just like now in this last year or two.
But when you think of like, yeah, they tried to kill him twice.
They've dragged him through all these lawsuits and fines, millions and millions of dollars of fines.
Convicted, convicted, banned from Twitter, now X, you know, all this stuff.
And then like he said himself, I forget what the exact quote is, but he's, he says, I'm vengeful.
And I hope he is.
I hope he is.
You know, even if it's just that, like he's just like, he's just going to come in there.
These people try to do this.
And as far as that goes, I'm all for that.
That's how these people are.
They're petty and they're mean.
And somebody needs to kick their ass and teach them a lesson.
And he's not our guy.
He never will be.
He's a boomer from New York who cares about money and his own image above all else.
But his enemies are also our enemies for sure.
And if we can't have the maturity to look and say, you do good things, I'm going to clap.
You do bad things.
I'm going to go to the ramparts.
And anyways, what are we doing?
Like, what is the point of everything?
Like you, like me, probably people listening to this show, we are like activists on some level.
Like we're, we are influencing the people around us, the people we work with, the people we live with, or our neighbors, friends.
Online, we influence people.
And I mean, the memes.
The memes are priceless.
I mean, this is like, you know, and I have, there's people who ends justify the memes.
Yep.
Yeah.
Did you say the ends, like the first word, the first letter and the word nigger?
But no, but, you know, I deal with people, I'm sure you do, people who are one and two degrees of separation from white nationalism.
And they don't, you know, we are like the vein that's bringing the blood to them or the artery that's bringing the blood to.
And I mean, just all the memes and that you might say, oh, what does that do?
No, it does so much.
I can't even tell you how many times I've been sharing memes with somebody and it gets that guy to laugh at what is an end tower, you know, the first time they see or participate in an end tower.
You might say, that's childish.
I know, but that's the, this is the whole thing we're doing.
Do you understand?
This is the whole word, the whole thing is very childish.
That's what it's all about.
And so, you know, so you got to make what you can out of it.
And right now we're being given red meat.
Even in that last year of Biden, especially with the Kamala campaign, like all these people had to do was shut up and they might have had like a fair chance of winning the election, but every single thing they did turned into like a daily avalanche of memes.
And it's just that time on the calendar, you know, like it's just this great flow of things.
And humor is an incredibly powerful thing when you get people laughing.
Maybe somebody, they're not exactly racist, you know, but once you show them the funny memes and they laugh about it, you know, once you break that, that, once you cross the Rubicon, so to speak, there's no going back.
Absolutely.
You just go, just look at Twitter today compared to where it was before.
I still really don't like Elon Musk and I hope that he gets banned early on in this administration is just told to go play with his toys and focus on Mars and his little electric cars.
But it brings, you know, it brings me back at some point early in the Biden administration.
I was at a civic event around here with a bunch of our guys, confident, upright, you know, no nonsense.
And like, and Normie walked up and we just struck up a conversation, welcomed him and talked a little bit of politics.
And then he whipped out his phone and started showing us some of the memes on it.
And it was like, you know, if they did to black movies, what they do to our movies, you know, Tom Cruise as Malcolm X, all that stuff.
Son of a bitch.
You know, I don't know if that guy's all the way there or whatever, but he felt strongly enough that he wanted to show the memes.
Well, I like the original.
It shows the famous, you know, the weird cat lady howling about Trump.
And then the Netflix remake and it's the Abuela on the border weeping.
You know, they're both crying.
Yeah.
And hey, you know, a lot of, there was a lot of grounds before the inauguration to go, oh, here we go again with Pete Hagseff, the grug, you know, Fox News talking head with the absolutely slavish Israel devotion.
He may not pass muster because of his own issues with alcohol, whether all that's true or not.
I tend to believe it's probably true.
And he was getting sloshed at every event working for the stupid NGO that he was at.
Yeah, well, yeah, not a fan, but you know, Marco Rubio at state too.
Yeah, I liked him in my national review days.
Who's this handsome Cuban from Florida with conservative views?
And then, you know, he's just like, yeah, just reading that.
You're hearing that every show moving forward.
It's fine.
I was like, oh, yeah, he was on the cover.
I remember it.
I was like reading it at a sandwich shop in DC when I was attending any phone parties with him, did you?
I have been to a phone party or two at the formerly great Rave Club known as Nation in DC, but it wasn't gay.
There just happened to be phone there.
We're all dancing on one substance or another.
But he went into the state.
He went into the State Department.
Now, I am not planning trusting that Marco Rubio is somehow going to be this great patriot and not en hoc to Israeli interests.
But the cable that he apparently sent out, the media leaked it or summarized it, was basically like, you know, this ship has gone awry or off course.
And our job, now, some of it is cliche and he has to say that.
I'm sure Pompeo said good things about, you know, a pro-America, America first foreign policy.
But one of the many, many little things is like, no, like our job is not to encourage migration to the United States.
It was something to that effect.
And Rubio was part of that gang of eight mass amnesty groups.
So little data signs that there's a new sheriff in town, that the marching orders have gone out and are being largely adhered to for now.
Susie Wiles, I don't know what's in her mind, but she certainly seems to be more competent than Reince Priebus was, or whatever the rest of the hacks that came in as chief of staff later on.
We are, man, I didn't even get through my first thing in notes here, but let me rattle off a few other things that you can be happy about.
All right.
You don't have to like, there may be battles to come.
But the CBP app.
Somebody said it's, you know, I'm jaded about America, but it still astounds me that the Biden administration created an app through customs and border protection that allowed prospective migrants, illegal, aspirational, legal, to make appointments, book flights, and come in for like asylum hearings.
And regular people know that.
Not just you in your tinfoil hat there in the middle of the forest in West Virginia.
Regular people know that.
And it's not just that, oh, that darn Indian woman and that old Grumpy Biden.
The U.S. government is doing that.
They know that now.
Yes.
Oh, all those midnight flights, like flights just landing in Westchester, New York, and like 100 Hispanic fighting age men get off the plane.
That was a thing.
The CBP app is dead.
He issued the birthright citizenship EO on the first day when we were groveling for it.
I remember, I was like, God, what's holding up?
What is Stephen Miller doing there?
You know, like, I'll stop.
I was going to say something crude.
That's going to be a legal battle, right?
Real quick.
The refugee flights have been canceled.
Now, I'm not 100% certain whether refugee resettlement is 100% dead and in the ground, but we saw evidence for sure that people were turned away.
It's not going on.
The immigration raids have started.
No, it is not exactly crystal knocked.
In Chicago, they're showing the videos of it.
So it's even in sanctuary cities, it's happening.
You've got a howling Haitian in the door saying, you're not going to deport me.
And you've got the czar saying, Rolo, you sound terrible to me.
I don't know if it's just.
You don't just have immigration raids of the worst of the worst, which is a rational place to start.
You start with the criminals and the rapists and the thugs and the people on your radar, and then you go bigger, which hopefully will happen.
They went into a law firm or an NGO that was a part of.
Yep.
They're going into schools and churches.
Yep.
And guess who?
Yeah.
And collateral damage.
ATF is now allowed to arrest and deport people.
Although we have a lot of love for the ATF or whatever.
And like they expanded deportation rights.
They went into a law firm or an NGO.
I forget if I just said that.
Affirmative action.
They reached back into the 1960s and the worst of the worst after Kennedy was blown away and LBJ doing the bidding of his masters to actively promote.
That's a whole nother section that we didn't even get into about our kids.
And the skunks will say, oh, do you really want more competent white men working at the FBI or would you prefer black women and whatever?
I mean, that's straight out of the term.
I don't know.
I guess, you know, you're more likely to have a conscientious white man working in the federal security apparatus as opposed to someone who is the exact opposite of us racially and genetically.
Absolutely.
DEI offices are all shuttered.
There is a federal hiring freeze.
Tranny shit has been officially the employees were furloughed.
Yes, they were suspended with pay or, you know, temporarily.
I guess that was the God Emperor.
I mean that facetiously.
Okay, you can have some peanuts before we fire you.
Yeah.
And you mentioned you mentioned Kennedy a second ago.
President Donald Trump has ordered for all the classified documents on the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, Kennedy to be released to the public.
I mean, fine as prompts first term.
Now I'm not a first term.
Yeah, I'm like very dubious that it's going to be useful or whatever.
But I saw that one of JFK's, JFK has like one grandson who's alive today, and he looks like a Jew and his last name is Schlossberg.
I saw this on Daily Mail and he's like very unhappy about it.
He thinks it's a disgrace.
So I was like, oh, yeah, of course, you know, JFK's Michelin grandson is like not happy about this because he thinks it'll self-aggrandize Trump or yeah, because well, no, because it's gonna, it's gonna finger the one Jew that's related to him.
Maybe, you know, I doubt it.
You know, I, you know, Trump is probably savvy enough.
He's fine.
Yeah, Rollo, check your security protection for Mike Pompeo and John Bolton.
He revoked all those clearances.
He has started to take on the swamp, right?
I mean, if you can't do anything but have a good laugh about this, isn't that worth it?
Isn't laugh laughter makes your life longer?
You're not going to have no more BLM flags or fag flags at our embassies.
You have to be the most entitled, like ungrateful person in the world.
The more I think about it, the more I'm like, man, you guys are wacky.
And look, I got egg on my face too for doubting that all this was worth it, being relatively blasé and seeing the rationale of worse is better.
Remember, we had Greg Hood on and I went on a stem winder of all the horrible things from the first term.
And Greg came on and he was just like, yeah, but what else do you got?
You really think it's going to be better with the other one?
At the time, I thought, that's kind of slavish bootlicking, don't you think?
But so far, point, point, Greg.
But how about the withdrawal from the World Health Organization, the withdrawal from the Paris Accords of global warming and all that shit?
Sure.
You know, let's, I'm, I'm just, hey, let's see what happens.
I'm, I, I like, I like these things.
I like because remember, we have to live in this country.
Like the people, right?
People that want to like, I do, I do sound better now, right?
I, I, I text one.
Well, you're not screaming, uh, you know, but yeah, I don't know.
It's yeah, go ahead.
It is, it just looks a little better right now, but if you scream, it might not be good.
Okay, I won't scream, but yeah, but we have to live here.
And I think a lot of these people that have this like like full-on accelerationist viewpoint, like they don't have families.
Like, so they're not thinking about it that way.
Like they're not.
No, some of them do, to be fair.
Some of them are white fathers with kids.
Most of them.
Most of them.
Some of them are.
Some of the ones with children, I think, are just general contrarians and just no matter what, nothing's good.
But anyway, but they, they, they have this like tunnel vision of like, it's only going to be bad.
And then their life just is only them.
So they, they just see it as like a meteor coming.
And they, I, they, they want this accelerationism because they want the meteor to just hurry up and get here because they're, they're tired of the, the anxiety of just waiting for that meteor to come.
And I think that's what a lot of it is.
And then there's good news.
And that's all it is.
It's good news.
It's, it's not legitimately.
It's not fake.
It's not fake good news.
But it's not, but it's not a cure.
It's not a super.
Well, this country is probably still doomed.
Let's be honest.
This might still be deck chairs, like really big deck chairs on the Titanic.
It's messy.
History is messy.
Like I was recently with one of my sons.
We started listening to the Horace the Avenger white rabbit radio from the first episode, like in 2009.
And I was just thinking how prescient he was in different ways.
In a lot of ways, he's predicted this type of a thing.
I don't know.
I don't know where I was going with that.
Sorry.
That's all right.
It happens here.
But the point that I wanted to make when I initially chimed in was there's a lot of topics that you're trying to cover.
It's almost like you can't fit it into just one show a month.
Oh, yeah.
I know what I was going to say.
The inevitable, sorry, the inevitable future.
Like you're saying, inevitably, this nation is doomed.
No, it is not.
Don't you realize they've been predicting liberals have been predicting everything.
We've passed so many milestones that they're always predicting this inevitable future that never comes, you know?
And that was one thing that impressed me and reminded me again listening to those early episodes.
And yeah, the thought occurs, a country is a delicate thing.
I can't remember at the moment who said that, but at the same time, there's a lot of life and empires can take up centuries, a lot of moving parts to crumble.
Exactly.
And absolutely excellent point, Rolo.
You know, like, do I, all right, am I skeptical of the system?
100%.
Absolutely.
That hasn't changed because Trump issued some good EOs and said some good things and some bad things, by the way.
Do I want my kids?
Again, my kids will only go to college if it makes sense for their life professional development consistent with their passions.
If it doesn't, I guess you can try to go on your own and take a look.
Yeah, it's not happening.
Do I want them to be discriminated?
Do I want if they want to be a fireman?
Do I want them to be discriminated against?
No.
If they want to go to Harvard, that will not happen unless there's a true revolution in this country.
Do I want them to be discriminated against?
No.
There's just, and even if you think this stuff is all symbolic, that's going to get rescinded one day, which is absolutely a threat.
You lose in 2028.
Guess what?
We're going to be on an executive order like merry-go-round or seesaw.
But the signal has been put out there.
A president has set the tone of what can be done and what has been broken with.
And I probably put it out on television.
I only put it in the chat for all of our adult lives, even back to Nixon, who was JQ aware, but had Henry Kissinger doing all the heavy lifting.
You know, all we have known have been establishment stooges in one way or another.
Pappy Bush, Clinton the boomer, total leftist, you know, Vietnam era radical, Obama, the fraudulent unifier, W. Bush, the pure neocon moron, Biden, all this stuff.
And I would include Trump's first term in that too.
And this is, he could have come in and been, we're going to unify the country.
We're going to have a steady helmet the thing.
And no, he's like, handsome Cuban, release them all.
Right.
And I'm looking at the Telegram channel of a guy I really like, and I'm not going to give him shit.
And it's just negative, I guess points for keeping us reminded of these things, but I don't think it is apt or wise or warranted in this moment to be skunks.
Well, also, also, do you want to be skunks and then just kill any goodwill like that they're trying to curry favor with anyone?
Or just in your human life?
Yeah.
To look at all these very positive things and talking with your friends or your neighbors and be like, it's all fake.
They're all Juo Shills.
Like people just laugh at you on a human level.
You sound like a great guy.
You're coming to my party.
Wow.
You sound so fun to be around.
Yeah.
Well, how about it?
How about even with Ukraine, right?
He says he's going to sit down with Putin.
And even Putin said, I want to sit down.
I think we can work this out.
We're going to bring this to a close.
I mean, isn't that good?
I would say that maybe.
I'm leery about that.
But I hope it does work out that way.
Coach would rather Russia keep fighting Ukraine because he likes to see Russia win.
I know you're being precise.
I don't want giving up that land.
They are not going to give up that land, but that war needs to end.
That's terrible.
To address that head on, Rollo, I think that Putin would be a fool to accept a bad deal after all that they've sacrificed and after all.
And yeah, Zelensky stays in Kiev and Russia keeps 10% of the country.
I just think that that would be a bad deal if I were Putin to just be like, oh, well, Trump's president, you know, and I wouldn't trust the West to not, you know, still put those CIA bases in there and still funnel weapons and still view reconquering Crimea and all that stuff as a long-term objective.
But that's a horse of another color.
Justin, any thoughts before we go to the break, buddy?
As always, welcome to stay with us or hit the road if you want to go men senses.
No, we got to talk about the white fighting with our polite exit opportunity.
Yeah, he might be in a domestic dispute right now for all we know.
Well, I'm not leaving.
No, I'm here.
We're good.
You want me for the break?
We're gonna wait for the break and come back to that or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep.
I had no break.
I have a bumper track already selected that Rolo's grinding his teeth thinking about having to do that editing.
But Sam, do we want to do the Iron Will music here at the break?
Do we want to just do White Wolf or did you have a different one?
Because that's just a freaking awesome song.
Your call.
You can make the call after the.
But this is our break music is going to be Iron Will, a fan of the show, a friend of Sam's, a great guy.
I'll shut up.
Yeah.
And we'll pick the best one in the stack to highlight.
And this is, you know, this is just a common courtesy.
We were, you know, as Coach and I do sitting around listening to skinhead music, and we listened a couple of these Iron Will songs.
And no, but a great guy who happened to reach out.
We had a lot of nice back and forth and some laughs and shared some music.
And just a great guy.
And there's a lot of great music out there.
You know, if you're not listening to good music, you should be listening to good music, whether it's Rolo stuff or whether it's Skinhead stuff.
There's tons of great music.
So yeah, either White Wolf or, yeah, I got one more suggestion we'll talk about off air, but one or the other, we're going to go with Iron Will, great American skinhead band.
And we got some new white lives to celebrate right after this break.
Don't go anywhere.
No need to ask for having time to disserve all the problems we are facing today.
We got a lot of interns and make us all nationally alive to make it swing.
And it's best we awoke with our hits in the month.
The enemy's virus in our land.
And it's like in our nation's blood.
Come play to see.
And it's best we awoke with our hits in the mud.
The enemy's virus in our land.
And it's talking our nation's blood.
I'll do the asswants when we reach this point.
Then a few jellics hope that's that weak.
It's in the resonance boat.
The boys are weak after we have to go before by fighting our lifetimes.
Hopefully, some seasons that might bring to you.
And no home tomorrow shall be.
Come crazy.
And it's best we awoke without hitting them on.
The enemy's wyrups in our land.
And it's sucking our nation's blood.
Come blazing.
And it's best we awoke with our heads in the morning.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the portion of Full House where sad Eeyore comes out and belly aches about whether it's all worth it or whether he can still struggle to drag himself to the microphone.
Just kidding.
As I told the fellows during the break, apparently all we need is a change of presidential administration and a little bit of adrenaline shot of good news to provide copious bounties of content and grist for the mill and the content and comment mill.
We're not going to do this every week, but good lord, if there's ever been a week when dedicating politics and happening and Trump and news, it was this one.
Let's go straight to New White Life, many people's favorite part of the show.
It's my worst part of the show because I'm just jealous that all these guys got new babies under the roof.
I wish I got to wait until grandkids and I can wait.
And God bless.
I hope that they will be coming in large numbers for me in a decade or so.
Anyway, first off, to our pal Rusty.
There's a lot of Rusties out there.
So good luck trying to figure out which Rusty it is.
But he gave me a sort of secondhand.
Rusty's got his own beautiful squad, but he said that my brother's wife gave birth to their third and the first boy collectively in the family this morning.
So yeah, for those grandparents and for that father and mother, the first baby boy, congratulations.
Over the hump.
Way to go.
May he go on to be a warrior scholar.
Archimedes nuts was kind enough to send in not just new white life.
Wrote in, I think, before about the conception or that it was coming up close, but he sent a picture of what was clearly a beautiful, healthy baby boy.
And then I believe he photoshopped not Garibals, not Hess, but Goring on his face, the corpulent patriot giving a stiff-arm salute.
You know, you can never be too careful with pictures of your kids because, you know, wifey might have put it up on Facebook or it might be in Snapchat somewhere.
I have bad connotations of Snapchat.
You know what I mean?
So he photoshopped Goring over his baby boy's face.
You could have trusted us, Archimedes.
I wasn't going to do it.
I didn't even send it to the guys, but regardless, he really did look like a healthy, hail future bruiser and a good-looking one at that.
I think it was somebody in the comment zone.
Oh, go ahead, Sam, please.
No, go ahead.
I do have one.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
You got it next.
I was just rolling.
Due to my copy paste, I believe this came from the comment zone, but somebody let us know that we had a rough miscarriage last year, but after a smooth second pregnancy, we just welcomed a daughter into the world.
Exclamation mark.
I remember that phrase.
I'm giving my wife some rest now, perhaps sexual rest on statement, but just wanted to drop a line.
She was a week late, but the induction went not a week late on her period, but a week late on the delivery, I presume.
But the induction went smoothly despite the epidural failing.
The entire process took exactly 12 hours.
Not that sure.
I wouldn't use the word smooth there.
My wife took it like a champ.
And he says, also, yes, big iron is absolutely my legitimate legal name and you can use it on the air.
Thank you, Big Iron.
Thanks for the show and the inspiring words.
And I think it was either you or Roscoe who said the future belongs to those who show up.
We probably said the future belongs to those who procreate or reproduce, regardless.
Credit to Roscoe there too.
And he says, white power and God bless all of you.
Thank you, Big Iron.
And yes, my wife had one epidural that failed.
I think it was, I forget if it was two or three, but the delivery happened so fast that it wasn't a huge deal.
She was kind of proud that she got to experience what it felt like.
And, you know, and my wife, this, you know, private conversation, but there's no shame in this.
She said it wasn't that bad.
You know, I think women, perhaps this is a segue into later.
She was like, it was not like the worst pain that I've ever felt in my entire life.
Now, the first one, the first one maybe would have been, but the epidural worked on that one.
And my wife has always also been like just practical.
You know, you're not a coward if you get the epidural.
There are some risks, of course, but it's one of probably the most consistent, you know, regular birth, birthing procedures that they do.
We know, I'll leave that where it is.
We know some details about epidurals, et cetera.
So to the ladies out there, you know, stressing about going raw dog on the delivery versus getting the epidural, I wouldn't sweat it myself personally.
There are techniques for dealing with the pain and all that.
We've all heard of the Lamaz and other techniques.
The drawbacks, which I feel compelled to mention.
Yeah, please.
So if you've been pumped full of drugs, then the baby gets those drugs as well.
Baby doesn't latch on and learn to nurse properly right away.
And then you want the baby to nurse because you want to have that kind of what they call ecological breastfeeding.
So there are arguments to go drug-free, but if you've done it before a couple times and it's been earth-shattering, painful and all that, we're not going to judge you or condemn you because you do the epidural or some other technique.
So definitely look into that you can do this without the pain medication.
There are people who do that and believe in it.
My first wife did it several times, you know, but then by the third and the fourth one, it was epidurals.
Yeah.
So, right, you know, there's there's two sides to that discussion for sure.
And you can, and I don't think I'm talking out of left field, Sam, too, that an epidural can slow the process down too.
Yes.
Oh, like, you know, it might feel less imperative to push.
But, you know, it's sort of like the IVF stuff.
Now, with you and religion, it's a little bit different, but I also find IVF a little bit weird.
But I'm also, you know, just like I'm not going to spit in Trump's eye for doing good things.
I'm not going to like give people shit for using IVF to conceive.
Right.
If we're going to have a discussion about the pros and cons and the rights and the wrongs, that's one discussion.
But as far as people who are in the moment and doing things and all that, and especially looking back on something, we're not going to condemn anybody.
And especially knowing all we know about the poisons and weird chemical things going on in the world.
It's not necessarily a sign from the big guy that you are not meant to procreate, that there might just be things going on that would not otherwise be going on.
Let's see.
Let's go straight to Justin.
Please, sorry, sorry, Sam.
Yeah, a couple of quick announcements in there.
A dear friend of ours, you'll know who he is and I know who he is.
We've been in touch with him.
I met with him last summer.
We went out to lunch and stuff.
I'm just going to use the generic name, John, which may be or not be his real name.
But he contacted me.
Number eight is conceived and the mother's carrying number eight.
And then they know it's a girl already.
So God bless that family.
Wonderful, beautiful family there.
Maybe one day he and she will be as cool as Malta's family, Sam.
Yeah.
And I've been in touch with that as well.
Beautiful, huge family, wonderful people and all that.
The other thing I wanted to mention in this moment of the show is I have another graduate in the family.
My son, one of my sons just graduated with an advanced degree, technical degree, and he made his defense of his thesis.
He was successful.
And so he's done with that now.
It has been a long time coming, but we're incredibly proud of him and he's doing great things right now.
Amen.
And yep.
And I'll chime in.
Thanks.
I wasn't going to say anything, but you reminded me.
And I shared a little video with the inner circle.
But Junior for the third straight year won top math accolades for his grade.
And he's a year younger than those kids in his class.
And that's not as important as the significance.
Looking at the J Sixers smiling million watt smiles outside in the snow being newly freed, but seeing your own kids do unquestionably cool or great things, whether it's athletic or academic.
I definitely got misty, but I held it together because the other parents, when their kids got called up or whoever was there, I didn't, you know, claps or whatever.
I said, man, there's some stoics because I want to like, you know, jump off the roof into this into the snowbank, not a suicide.
I was so proud, even if it's not like, you know, he didn't win a Fields Medal for mathematics yet.
But just so cool to see your kids doing good things or reason, even if, even if you feel crummy or the world sucks, or Trump is a Jew shill, and this is all a rug pull and a heel turn, and Kayfabe waiting to turn on us and make a fool out of Sam, Rolo, Justin, and just look, just look to your kids, unless they're real stinkers.
And then you got a different story on your hands.
There's a lot to be happy and encouraged about in this world and in our lives.
Yes, there are things that to be angry about and to be concerned about, but there are just as many, if not more, of those good things.
And you've got to take those things and make the most out of them because that's what life is.
You bet.
And dear daughter cleared a hurdle on her own special academic stuff lately.
It wasn't quite as poignant right there as the celebration for being the top math ace for her grade, but it was significant nonetheless.
So just when they're listening to this after I'm dead, perhaps, or my grandkids are listening to it as a time cap.
So I had to throw that in there in pure happiness and smile.
All right.
We are at 1220 here in the Mountain Mama.
And let's go straight to, if Sam is done, let's go straight to Justin and some, you know, bread and butter family marriage content.
All yours, buddy.
Yeah, I'm putting it on.
Dangerous grounds.
Dangerous grounds.
Right out of the gate.
And, you know, it's just something that I have been thinking of with my ex.
I have my ex-wife.
I have a current wife.
I have a lot of issues for that.
But one of my big issues now with my current wife is how we relate to each other.
And one of those issues comes down to arguments we have, right?
So if we have an issue of she feels like I don't do X or Y or Z, and she has a statement of you don't do this, you never do this, or you always do this.
That's such a difficult place to overcome in our marriage.
A wife gripe.
Is it fair to summarize it as that?
A hobby?
It's a wife gripe, right?
Yeah, it's tough, right?
And so you're a husband.
You're trying to be fair.
You're trying to be reasonable with this situation.
But the problem is, is a declaration of you never do this or always do this.
There's no good response to that.
And so you have a situation where it's like, okay, so I never do this, except I do do it.
And therefore, now I'm going to argue with you that you're wrong.
Or I don't do it.
I didn't realize I was supposed to do it.
And so now I'm also wrong.
There's no right answer.
Well, let's without getting into specifics.
And I know Sam has championed the bit already.
Just a clarifying question.
Is she totally off base or is there an element of truth to it?
And the other thing is, is it a constant refrain or is it just something that bubbles up every once in a while as like a, you know, a wife gripe, which wife gripes are often legitimate in some respect, let's be honest.
Yeah I, I would say that on some level there is a it's.
It's a constant refrain, um, it's not that i'm not doing what i'm supposed to do, but it's a perspective that she has.
These things are not being done um, that's.
It's a hard situation right, because should you be doing those things?
And maybe you should, maybe shouldn't but when she puts you on the spot like that, how do you argue that?
There's no, there's no argument for that purpose, and so it's, it's a, it's an attack on her part that targets the very base level of your marriage but doesn't really give you any options to compete with it.
You can't argue it well and it makes it harder.
Yeah Justin I, I would.
Uh, I don't know, of course, the exact context of your thing there, but sometimes people and it's not, it's not just marriages, it's also maybe people at work or other relationships in life sometimes people are frustrated and they just want to be heard, or they're they're.
They just want their concerns to be acknowledged.
So if i'm at the receiving end of something like that, sometimes i'll just say, you know, nod in a way that shows that I understand and maybe just say okay and and just let the person be heard.
Sometimes that's what they really want, you know, because the way they're phrasing the accusation or the question is not even something you can respond to.
It's like, you're right, i'm a piece of.
I mean, what does the person want you to even say something like that and so?
So sometimes that would be, I would say, for us and we're saying this not only for ourselves but for listeners maybe that's a good first uh response is that you don't have to respond.
You don't have to.
You know we're men, we should be able to take little little insult or you know that type of questioning.
You don't have to respond, you can just absorb it, just say yes, all right okay, I hear you, I hear you, you know i'm, i'm gonna try to do better there, you know.
But but then when the person persists right, that's where it gets to be all right.
What are we going to do now?
Now you are making this unreasonable and you're not even allowing me like a place to retreat to.
You know like, and then that's where you get pulled into an argument about.
You know is more about like basic dignity at some point.
So yeah, that's a.
That's a big part of it too.
It in my situation, it's the way I did.
You know, kind of deflected from this was, hey you, you put me in a situation where I don't have an option.
Right you're, you're arguing, i've done the wrong thing.
There's no, not doing the wrong thing yeah, I can't come back from this um, so the only thing I can do is step away from it, which is, it's still not, it's not a great situation.
It sucks right, because you you, You want to be in communion with your wife on these things.
And sometimes they're not available to that.
And that's, it's a hard thing.
Well, and then it was just from the little bit you shared with us, especially, you know, I mean, off the show and that you said like, okay, that's it.
You know, all right, we're done.
We're done talking for tonight about this.
Sometimes that is also the next best thing to do is to firmly say like, okay, you're not going to abuse me.
And there's no taking this conversation further.
So let's just put a little break in it right there.
And sometimes people have a fight.
And again, it goes beyond just even marriage, but let's say you have some kind of disagreement.
Now you could keep perpetuating that thing, but a lot of times you come back hours later or the next day or something.
You know what?
It's all been put in perspective.
It's not a problem anymore.
That's just life.
That's just humans.
I would lots of ways to go with this.
My semi-analytical way of analyzing it is that wife gripes are something that all of us deal with unless you're married to a pure angel.
We all have it to some degree.
In some cases, it's almost divorce worthy.
And know a couple guys who have told just absolute horror stories about the emotional and psychological abuse that their wives put them through, but they more or less just, you know, take it to the face in the interest of staying married and being with their kids, avoiding divorce and all that stuff.
But there are legitimate wife gripes about, you know, stupid, where they're right.
They're objectively right.
And you're like, and in my case, I'd be like, okay, that's a reasonable one.
And I will try to correct that.
There's the ones where it's debatable or your own virtues and hard work and income or other contributions outweigh whatever that is.
And you think that it's totally unfair.
And that's where the wiggle room, you know, do you open up with two barrels metaphorically fighting back on that because it's unfair and all these great things and get defensive about it.
And then there's the ones where it's just like hens need to peck sometimes and it's just in their biology.
And that's one where you turn the cold shoulder and you're like, I'm not going.
I'm going to go to bed now.
And it will be gone the next day.
It sounds, and I actually didn't hear the specifics when I was mucking about here before we went to tape.
So I don't know the details.
It sounds like it's a significant one that is hurtful and perhaps semi-unfair, perhaps semi-fair, but without looking at all of the, I'm sure, good things that you do.
And it depends on the woman, too.
I think sometimes you can, you know, fire breathe back and shut it down.
And I think in other cases, that will only make a bad situation worse.
There's a lot, there's a lot of variables there.
And I've had successes and I've had failures.
It'll be 19 years this October.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Give a little, but also take yourself, you know, that maybe that's like generic advice there.
As a first step, I would always say, just try to sound sympathetic and nod and say, okay, I hear you.
You know, a lot of times that will diffuse it as a first step.
It's the toughest time because it's, I'm coming back from working for my full day.
Yeah.
Well, come take care of that two little boys.
Yep, and she's like you don't, you don't do anything around the house and it's like I just spent eight hours doing some for some crappy firm that sucks.
Yeah no, I understand.
I hug my kids and and like I, i'm not doing enough.
It's like I, I don't know what you want.
You know it's hard.
Here's a shoe.
I uh, I uh, you know, I was uh, uh with my fingers.
Count out a couple 20s and hang it, hand it to her.
You know?
What do you mean?
I don't do anything around here.
You know, put some cash and a slap on the dush.
Yeah right um, you know, husbands from work what do you mean?
I'm not doing anything around we.
We have gripes too, of course, sometimes fair or unfair, and the classic one I remember is after our third was born.
I went straight back to work because I had the brilliant idea.
I was like, oh, you know, you got under control, I can go right back, I don't need to burn all my sick leave, which I should have, like a stupid retard.
I didn't um, and I would get borderline angry or emotional when I would come home from my eight or ten hours being away working and find that the house was in disorder yeah, there's three kids there, etc.
Somewhat simple stuff.
And I was angry, like i've been gone for this long, I shouldn't have to come home to this or that, whatever it was.
And that was, in hindsight, the absolute, like worst.
You know, your wife just gave you another child that you didn't necessarily she wasn't necessarily enthusiastic about your like pronatalism or whatever.
And you're complaining about like toys or the state of this or that.
Um, it did legitimately angry, but it made her even angrier.
Like who do you think you are to be off?
You know, in the corporate world and you know tweeting and exercising and taking your little commute and then come home and bellyaching about the stuff at home, at home, so for, for listeners that might be, you know, relating to this, some of that stuff you absolutely have to let go, sometimes like yeah you, you come home and it's quite apparent she's literally not done one thing all day.
There's that's something you have to just accept, especially in those child rearing age, ages and and and time periods.
Um, you know, don't make that a big.
You know I, i've dealt with each other.
Women keep us like performing better than we otherwise would without them, and vice versa too.
Like there's no excuse for a sloppy dirty, messy house, like that's just a.
Well, as you know, i've dealt with homeschool families where there's eight and ten kids and there's, you know ketchup, stains in the carpet and a dirty bra hanging off the staircase, and you know, I mean, you know it's like hey, this is what families, you know.
Yeah, if we were having guests over we would clean up and everything, but in between the guests coming over it might get a little wild, you know.
And that's uh, that's just family life, you know.
And and should it be cleaned?
I guess so, but let's uh, you know we don't live in museums or anything like that.
So um, you know I, I would maybe let some of that stuff go.
And there's the marriage gripes, and then there's the kid and responsibility gripes right, two very different things, like we don't go out on dates anymore, or you don't bring flowers, or I think true, I would go more to the, probably to a fault, you know, the kids are, number one, their welfare, their education, their looking after, their orderliness.
And I, perhaps wrongly, have always, you know, kids first and marriage second, they do go hand in glove.
You know, they can't be separated or whatever.
But I would be more inclined on the husband gripe thing to go after like a bloodhound something on the kid front than on the marriage front because we're humans and you know, marriage after a long enough time, you just after enough arguments or whatever, you can just say, well, given enough time, we will like each other again and have fun again.
And this won't be a big deal.
Time comes and goes.
Yeah.
Comes and goes for sure.
Ups and downs.
Yeah, I want that.
That's something I've been fighting for.
It's not easy.
I have been, you know, in my marriage and trying to get this thing off the ground of you take these kids, they're tough.
Find a solution.
You know, I want to spend an evening with my wife.
It's not a first rate thing.
If we could have some support, some benefit, some who wants to watch the kids for a night, even if it's not.
Totally.
It's just, it's so, it's so tough.
Like we've been trying to find a good babysitter for the past nine months and haven't found someone acceptable yet.
I'm seeing what you're putting down now.
Yep.
Yep.
Well, they won't always be little forever.
You know, maybe that's no comfort to you, but there are those times when the kids are little.
Yeah, it's that's part of the struggle for sure.
Our oldest is a teenager now.
So we're getting to the point where we can legitimately, now, I don't know what, you know, there's actual real laws about like what's technically legal and not illegal when it comes to your own kids looking after the household.
So I don't want to even venture into the briar patch of what we're going to do or whatever.
But we're, you know, at a certain point, you approach the grounds where one of the kids is old enough to be a legitimate babysitter and you, in theory, have carte blanche to go out and have a nice dinner, maybe even go dancing.
I don't know if people still, you know what I mean?
And you're with the young ones under the house.
That's just not in the picture right now.
But yeah, if you don't have the trusting relatives or the beloved neighbor or the rock solid, you know, babysitter in the neighborhood, I think that I know exactly what you're talking about.
When was the last time you took me out on a date?
When was the last time we had a nice night away from the kids?
My wife and I have had a bountiful amount of hours and days and years with the kids, but precious few.
My parents and her parents both live many hours away.
And I, you know, awesome shucks dad, like there are kids, whatever.
But there's definitely an inequity there on our end that chafes at her more than me, perhaps than my fault.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's hard.
Yeah, for sure.
I, you know, they are not always wrong.
They are often wrong.
And just try to even, and the pride thing comes into the picture too.
You know, like, well, now that you're grinding an axe over it, I really don't want to be helpful.
Now I'm just angry and bitter.
And sometimes you got to suck it up and go, okay, honey, I will make you happy.
I think every man in human history who stayed married has had to do that at one point or another triangle do something that he thought was unnecessary or excessively responding to a wife gripe.
Yeah, definitely do that.
I would say that's that's all part of it.
And just look at it as a kindness that you're doing for your wife and for the good of the family and be a good sport.
And look out for, I am not at all insinuating that your wife is bad news or a battle axe, but for the guys who aren't married yet and for Rolo, if he has not internalized this yet through his hours of magic to gathering,
the most important decision you'll ever make in your life, most likely, is picking that one and all of the various factors that go into making sure that she's not going to become the worst nightmare in your life and train your bank account, take your kids and be a thorn in your side for the rest of your days.
Well, there's no guarantee of any of that for sure.
And that's the thing.
We have guys, we talk to guys, you know, who, boy, they'd really love to get married.
They'd want to have that family and they're looking at that.
Just remember the grass is not always greener.
There's whether you're a single person or a married person, there are challenges in life.
They're just different challenges.
So keep that in mind is whatever state in life you are leading, there will be challenges.
There are joys in any state of life.
And there are challenges or heartaches, you might say, in any state of life.
So that's the type of life we're all called to lead anyways.
Yep.
And I'm reluctant to say this because I don't want to discourage any guys out there for going for it.
But single and desperate is arguably better than divorced and bitter and poor.
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah.
And there's just, there's no simple answer or one size fits all answer to this thing.
And sometimes people go crazy, right?
And everything is random unicorns.
It does take two.
You know, one person maybe wants to be married and remain married and the other person just wants to, you know, use drugs and party, you know, or wants to have, this is like the midlife crisis, which affects seemingly more women nowadays than even men.
You know, I remember growing up, that used to be the thing, the midlife crisis.
The man gets a girlfriend and a Corvette and stuff like that.
But I think probably in recent years anyways, we could cite many cases where it's the woman who wants to hang on to her youth that she maybe has a feeling like she's losing it in her late 30s or something like that.
And they question themselves or they don't have a good, you know, and then there's struggles, you know, and there's things that make you feel like you're losing something that you perceive you want to hang on to, I guess.
I heard this story the other day, Sam, about a couple that I knew years ago.
And it was, you know, third party basically caught me up and they got married.
I knew and met both of them.
They seemed relatively normal, happy, in love.
And then I lost contact with him and he was a grinder and a hard worker, always out hustling to make money, paid off her student loan debt, which was significant.
And almost as soon as that was done, she filed her divorce.
And he was broken and furious, probably.
I don't know.
You know, this is secondhand.
But he's getting married again.
Found a new woman and she's supposedly delightful.
Knock on wood.
Yeah.
Well, the person that perceives that first route where they, oh, I'm going to go on and move on to a more exciting life with a higher flying lifestyle, whatever it is.
Those people are never happy.
Those people never find what they want.
Yeah.
They get their just desserts in the end.
They do.
But the person who is faithful and true, that person will find the right thing.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Justin, good luck.
I know you and I may have met her briefly at one point and I'm pretty confident that you guys can work it out.
You got a good head on your shoulders.
Give a little, give a little here and there, even if you have to swallow a little bit of pride and even if it's not entirely fair.
Yeah, I think we can.
It's not a deal breaker.
It's just a rough spot.
She's a wonderful woman.
I've met her several times and we're all friends.
And yeah, you eat a little humble pie.
It tastes pretty good once you get used to it.
Fun fact, my wife and I have never gone through any rough spots whatsoever in almost 19 years.
Smooth sailing.
Easy peasy.
Yeah.
Hot shit through a tin horn, as they say.
No, hey, if I had picked worse, we would not be together.
So it's a testament to her as well as my charm and good looks, of course.
I like some of those guidelines or rules that you say, like after a certain time, you don't get into any kind of substantive conversations or if or certainly like if there's alcohol involved, I think people should not pick that moment as the one to bring up some kind of gripe or something.
So I think those are, those are some good rules.
And those are, that's kind of how marriage is.
It's not like it's all perfect.
It's all, it's, you keep it on track by doing the right thing.
Absolutely.
And you have to resist the temptation.
You know, it's a little bit like being online, you know, when there's troll bait and you're like, all right, I'm going to give, I'm going to engage on that one and fight back and get in a huge flame war.
And then other times you're like, you know what?
I don't have to respond to that person on the internet.
I could just forget whoever saw it or just brush it off my shoulders or whatever.
And when I was younger, I would absolutely engage and fight and stand my ground, even to a fault.
When I knew I was wrong, I'd still argue, just for the hell of it.
And, you know, older and wiser.
And I'm like, okay, you're right on this or whatever.
I'm still pretty stubborn.
Yeah.
And of course, you can look back and you can say that was not fruitful.
That was not worth anything.
Same thing with marriage.
And that's why you have to listen to us, you young people out there that might be married.
You know, there's, it's just take the high road.
Take the high road.
If you got to eat a little humble pie, if you got to eat a little crow, it doesn't taste too bad once you get used to it.
Oh, yeah.
And you could like bilaterally hate each other for a day, a week, and it might even linger into a month.
And, you know, a little bit of good behavior, a little bit of time off, not time off, like separated, but just a little bit of cooling off period.
And then all of a sudden, oh, there's that person that I was absolutely infatuated with and love.
And we created a family with together and all the attributes come out instead of the downsides.
So that's not directed at Justin.
I'm pretty confident he's got a troll and I appreciate him sharing opening up.
We might be making a little more out of this than it.
I think they just had a little spat and he was just maybe had his feelings hurt a little bit there, but he's signed off.
So we thank him for being on the show for sure.
He might have, he might have boomered, but I know a good Jewish divorce lawyer I got on retainer.
Well, you know, there's the thing, like, like you say, a little bit of perspective really dark help.
I remember listening to a story about a couple, they were married for a long time.
And then in later age, they decided, oh, we're going to get divorced now.
And then the woman was, I think she was on a, on an airplane flight or something.
And then there was a man and a woman.
And then she could tell that they knew each other, you know, and then they then they were like affectionate with each other.
And she said, that's, that's what she wants.
She doesn't want to get to know somebody new.
Like you can't, you can't just recreate all that, you know, and she, even though she was separated and divorced even with the husband, she thought like, you know, I don't want to start over.
I want like what I see that these people have, which is there's already a history together.
You know, he knows her.
She knows him.
And, you know, and, you know, little things like that in the story were really kind of touching.
Like she met up with her ex-husband at some point and he gave her a little hug and she thought, oh, that's, that's what I wanted, you know, because it felt so good from somebody that you know, you know, and then they eventually got back together, which was, which was amazing in a way too.
So, so that's just kind of the real beauty of marriage is how it is like that, how it's, it's not just all honeymoon from the first day of marriage to the, you know, through your whole life.
It's miraculous as many last as they do.
I'm just thinking back to all like not all the best friends that I had, but I had one, two, three best friends growing up.
And that's because a couple of them moved because their mothers wanted to go to a tonier suburb of Philadelphia instead of our nice normal.
That's not important.
But I realized that like these friends that I like so much, the more time I spent with them, the more irritated I would become by them or flaws I would find.
And that's just like kid, you know, bro friendship.
And then you expect a man and a woman building a family with money and real estate and cleaning and chores and responsibilities to just like, you know, coast and look into each other's eyes with loving eyes 24 seven is ludicrous.
That's like constant conflict resolution.
Yeah.
That's why there's got to be a marriage and not just a living together.
And that's why I think living together is not good because then there's never any beginning of this new thing, which is you assuming the position of husband and she is assuming the position of wife, which are titles that at least in the past had rights and privileges and responsibilities attached to them.
And so we need that kind of like an office, an office, if you will, that you are not just your wife's boyfriend.
You are in fact her husband.
And, you know, she owes you the respect of a husband and you owe her the respect of a wife.
A wife and a husband are not the same thing.
And you're not just boyfriend and girlfriend, but in fact, you have a family and a household and a whole bunch of things that are way beyond just being boyfriend and girlfriend.
And if people just want to be boyfriend and girlfriend, I would say just stay that.
But if you're going to become a husband and wife, then that's something else.
And our society is not helping or at least has not been helping in the past to support that.
You know, at one time it meant something to be a husband and a wife.
And we can hold on to those things, though, but we can build them up with each other so that people have that sense of, okay, maybe I don't have these really incredibly warm feelings of love today, but that I'm still the husband here.
I'm still the father of this household.
I'm the husband in this family.
And so those structures keep it together.
I think it was GK Chesterton.
He said, he read about that, oh, in America that they're allowing divorces now because on the basis that the husband and the wife are not compatible.
He says, well, then why aren't all marriages dissolving?
Because men and women are not compatible.
That's why we have such a thing called marriage.
We've got different planets.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
So, you know, to understand and accept those things at some point helps us to live up to, you know, the passion of our youth inspires us to make these commitments to each other.
But then the vows and the marriage help us to live up to those commitments.
Sam cites the great Catholic conservative GK Chesterton for his wisdoms.
And I will channel the great moral philosophers of Blink 182, Stay Together for the Kids.
I think what's the name of one of their tracks.
Now, tragically, upon listening to three married men debate the cruel vicissitudes of a lifetime of union with the opposite sex, Rolo has, during this show, actually resolved to remain stag and celibate and single for the rest of his life.
There's casualties in every show.
He just said, nope, listening to these geezers talking about conflict resolution and giving and getting is too much.
Sounds too much.
Sounds too hard.
What a nightmare.
Yes, it's much easier for me as it is.
Rollo.
I'm not going to not going to probe on that.
And frankly, the show is a complete failure until I am your best man or at least in the wedding party out in the desert.
Sam can throw the rice.
No, Sam can be in the wedding party too.
Is this going to be like a burning man event in the desert?
I know.
Yeah.
This could be great.
Well, you know, maybe just a cross will be burning.
Fury Road, Mad Max.
Just, you know, do it on the road.
Yeah.
Rollo, please wipe our slate clean with some boomer horror, I guess.
I still don't know where he's going with this.
Well, you know, every, you know, one or one or two times during the week, I get together with some boomers at the local watering hole, and we talk about, you know, times past and whatnot.
And it is interesting.
And they're nice people, but oh boy, are they boomers?
And one of them is the oldest one.
He does very like boomer con stuff.
And then I'll kind of push back, like he'll say something like pro-black, like for no reason.
Like, like, this is why blacks are cool.
And then I'll just say, like, and then I'll just go like, but why?
Like, they're always like stealing and raping and killing.
I'm not, I'm never that blunt, but, but then he'll be like, hell yes, these people, they're not the same as us.
You know, I went to Juvie when I was a kid and that, that woke me up real quick.
Like, it's almost like, yeah, it's almost like he's trying to say, like, you know, like, I'm a good boy, you know, don't, don't, don't hurt me.
But then I say, like, no, no, no, you know, wink, wink, you know, I'm not one of those.
And then he's like, oh, yeah, okay, let me tell you about how much black suck.
But the rest of them, very boomery.
And none of them were pro-Trump, but they voted for him because the alternative was not satisfactory for them.
And real quick, that's very interesting because we always assumed that the boomers were the bulk of MAGA, you know, mindless, patriotic, you know, flags and stuff like that.
And then apparently, like, the older generations are not as pro-Trump as like there's been a Zoomer, you know, whatever they call them, you know, after Zoomers.
There's youthful enthusiasm for Trump that doesn't exist as much in the older generation.
My dad was really anti-Trump.
Like term one, he was like, you know, I like that John Kasich.
John Kasich.
I knew two boomers, like term one that were into Trump.
And one was like a realtor.
So like he liked him as a businessman.
And another guy was this Jewish guy at my gym that I would just chat about this and that with.
And then I think he liked him because he probably knew about the more Zionist connections.
He wasn't as clear.
The other guy was like very clear.
But most of the boomers that I knew were not too keen on him.
Most boomers, I think, liked Ted Cruz generally.
Well, I mean, term one, term one.
This, this term, I, I, I don't care.
I wasn't really talking to him.
I think it was more just they hated Biden at that point.
And they, they brought up the Trump doing the, you know, the ICE raids.
And he's like, oh, I like that.
But the one thing I don't like, I don't like that he's going into schools and churches.
And I said, that's what I do like about it.
I said, yeah, that, that's a good thing.
And he's like, no, it's not, it's not okay to do that with the, with the kids.
And then I, I, I'm not going to go through the whole conversation and I won't make you play like, guess what they said, but um, I'll just skip to it.
And I was just being a hardliner on immigration.
And the main guy I was talking to, that, you know, the head boomer, he said, you're sounding like a Democrat.
And that kind of shocked me.
That's, and that's the, that's the shot.
That's the shot.
Because it was the real racist.
I don't know.
He didn't go into it.
I think he's just trained like, that's not my position.
That must be the Democrat.
And then, and he was basically, and he was basically making the point that you can't deport the kids.
That's mean.
So what you should do is you put them, you put them into the system and then they'll learn to assimilate and love America.
And I said, no, you throw them all out.
And then this is what he said after accusing me of being the Democrat.
He said, well, then who's going to cut your lawn?
Who's going to clean the toilets?
I can do both those things, actually.
Yeah.
And I said, I've seen white people doing both of those jobs multiple times since escaping Northern Virginia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I said, you know, white kids can do that.
It's just white, white kids don't do that.
And then I just said, now who's now who sounds like the Democrat?
That's literally what the view said during Trump's first term.
And one of them said, what?
I didn't know that.
Because that's literally the Democrat talking point.
If you get rid of the immigrants, who's going to wash your dishes?
Yeah, we got to have street tacos.
It's amazing to see how much things have changed, at least when it comes to boomers and views of the world.
And there's a lot of boomers and they cover the waterfront.
But when I was first pushing Trump in 2015, 2016, saying, no, I think he's going to win.
I think he's got good ideas.
He's a break with us.
It was universal hostility, skepticism, more or less, not universal, 90%.
And then when I became a critic in that first term, they were all on board.
You know, we love Trump.
We love Trump.
And now it's, I don't know if that's horseshoe theory or whatever, but a couple of boomers in my life, I was like, you got to give it to them.
And they're like, you got to give it to them.
They've, you know, come on board for different reasons, including the J6 pardons too, which is kind of a hardcore thing.
I know other boomers who are like, well, I don't like that people who assaulted police officers were let out of jail.
And it's okay.
I have a J6 story with a gentleman that I occasionally talk pretty casual politics.
He's not like, he's like, he's like a Libtard.
And then, no, sorry, not a Libtard.
He was a, he's a Lulbert.
And we were talking about the J6 people.
And I was saying, like, yeah, that's total travesty before the pardons.
And he's like, I don't know.
You know, maybe those people, you know, some of them should be in jail.
I said, why?
He's like, they, they killed a cop.
I was like, what cop did they kill?
And then he said this.
Like, he's like, that, that guy and that guy in the door, didn't they kill that guy?
And he didn't know.
He just was, he just assumed that that guy died because they heard like all these people.
These people died, but they leave the details out and they show that clip.
And that's how the media works.
They just, they put two things and then your brain puts them.
But he genuinely believe that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damage done.
And, but that's people saw J6 differently than we did.
Like the world saw it differently than we did.
Like I have family members that they believed like people with guns kick the door down.
And then like, you know, they had like congressmen like with their hands like tied behind their back with bags over their heads.
And AOC died.
They believe AOC died several times.
It took a really long time, but eventually the milk was drained.
And didn't we didn't, I don't want to go into a big thing about it.
Did Biden pardon the black Capitol cop that shot Ashley Bennett?
I think it did.
Michael Byrd.
Yes, he did.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
On top of Fauci and all that stuff.
Oh my God.
Terrible.
Terrible.
If that doesn't tell you something.
That black, did you see the interview with him where he was like blinking?
Oh, yeah.
He left his Glock on the sink in the bathroom.
It's a little worse than leaving your cell phone behind.
His cell phone.
He wasn't smart enough to blink both eyes at the same time.
And they pardoned him.
Yeah, that it's so and the whole world saw that.
Country saw that.
They saw that.
That's still one of my heresies where I'm still committed enough to the real world where I was like, you're not getting into Ashley Babbitt and whether that was justified or whatever.
And we did this back in the day where I said, if Antifa were like, you know, storming the Capitol, would you really shit on a black cop who shot an Antifa who was like breaking through the doors to get to the Congress?
No, no, it's complicated.
No, no, no, no.
It's not complicated.
No, no, no, it's not.
Because the intent of Antifa is always to destroy her main kill.
That's always their intent.
Their intent is never to come in and go, woohoo, woohoo.
Yeah.
Mongos.
It's completely different.
Yeah, fair enough.
Thank you for that, Rolo.
I have to share.
Now, I really thought that nobody would, I discount the number of people who listen to the end of every show.
I really do.
Why?
Because I'm projecting, because back in my podcast heyday, I would endlessly start a show and never finish it.
Good stuff's at the top, but you know, just kill in time at the end or whatever.
But the pure number of people, yeah, clearly I'm wrong because so many people reached out and I was like, oh, I thought maybe, you know, maybe I could skate by with my belly aching at the end of that one.
But we still have a lot of ears on us.
I'm internalizing that for sure.
And I wanted to share this emasculating, humiliating, yet ultimately uplifting tale of a guy who is retarded mechanically.
It comes from my mother.
I've seen my mother break things that shouldn't be broken.
She's a wonderful woman.
She's very smart in her own right.
She has the fire.
You know, my father has the IQ, but a little bit of a dour outlook.
My mother is perhaps not as high octane on the one front, but makes up for it with a passion for living and caring about things.
I like to think I have a fusion of the two, but I totally am useless mechanically.
Long story short, we got a major snowstorm coming in.
This was the first one dating back to around New Year's.
And I realized that that snowblower has been sitting in the garage unused with stable, a little dabbledooya into the gas to make sure it stays good for a year, maybe whatever.
And I go to fire that puppy up as I have done previously to make sure that it's ready for the oncoming rush and nothing.
You know, it's a plug-in or you can pull the cord to start it.
The extension cord is always the easiest way to start it.
Absolutely nothing.
I tried it probably 10 times, made sure everything was figured out properly.
What did I have to do?
I went to the YouTubes and it was crystal clear that I left old gasoline in there.
No, it wasn't like high ethanol gasoline, but it maybe had 10% at most.
And you've got a gunked up carburetor.
And that was not music to my ears because what the hell do I know about carburetors, cleaning carburetors, changing them?
I watched the video and my wife and I joked about this because she watches YouTube videos for her own areas of interest and they always like blow through very intricate parts where they're like, oh, you just pop, up, and get it off.
And then you get to the work.
I was like, there's no way I'm going to be able to do this, but I've got a non-operative snowblower with a blizzard on the way.
I've got to at least try, right?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So I go, you know, socket wrench and consulting the video.
It's like 30 degrees, maybe 20.
And I get the housing off.
I'm very proud of myself.
I get the carburetor out, don't notice that anything's amiss.
And then I do the very particular thing where you get the little jet out of the carburetor.
Some people have no idea what I'm talking about right now.
Other, you know, motorhead guys are like, duh.
And I get it out and I look at it.
I said, yes, cash money.
And I took a picture of it and I maybe posted it.
Totally gunked up.
Old gas, you know, just junk in there.
And I think I used an old paper clip.
You know, there's tools for doing this stuff.
There's all sorts of extensive.
I could have gone to Home Depot or the local hardware store, but I just used a paper clip and sprayed some carb cleaner in there.
I get it all fixed up.
Ha!
Feeling on top of the world.
And then I go to reinstall the carburetor and I realize that at some point, the choke steel valve, you know, the thing that you adjust the choke with, how much fuel it gets on startup, was completely severed from the plastic connector connecting the carburetor to the steel choke.
I'll try to make this as quickly as possible.
And I didn't even notice it.
It just happened in the process.
It was probably that weak of a connection.
Turns out it was a Chinese carburetor, Justin, who had to leave because his wife had a steak knife at his back on camera before he bailed.
So yeah, how much would it have cost them to just make it, you know, a solid state?
Plastic, whatever.
So I think, okay, maybe I can glue it back on.
No, there's no way in cold weather with a very, you know, wieldy thing that you can glue a metal rod back onto a carburetor and have it still work.
Yeah, bring the whole thing in the house.
Not with that attitude.
That, yeah, Sam, even with warm temperatures, I'm not sure that that would have been a long-term solution.
At some point, that glue would have broke.
So I thought, okay, I cleaned the carburetor.
I could have got it working.
Somehow I broke that choke steel thing off the carburetor during disassembly.
Rookie mistake, no big deal.
So then I go, well, let me move this carburetor out of where it is right now out of the way.
And I'll wait until the new carburetor comes, which was $20.
It was the exact same model.
And one of our pals said, yes, carburetors are cheap and you might want to buy one to have on the shelf in case that happens.
It happens all the time.
So I go to move the snowblower out of the way.
And Captain Retard here forgot that the housing had the ignition attached to it and it got tangled under the massive wheel of the snowblower and ripped the electrical cords that connected to the ignition.
So I'm like, oh my God.
Now, so now I have to count on the carburetor coming and being a perfect fit.
I have to get that reassembled and I have to reconnect these wires that are just brutally ripped off.
And there's no solution to that other than you can call it nigger rigging.
You can call it nigger rigging or a jew job.
I did a nigger rig jew job on the electrical after I successfully reinstalled the brand new carburetor and the wires were so like there was no really good way to reconnect them confidently.
So I just got them back.
I intertwined them together and there was a rubber housing for one.
I slapped it all back together.
I was 95% confident that there was no way that was going to work, but I just had to do it.
And the reality is the snowblower wasn't essential, right?
You know, the truck or the all-wheel drive could have plowed through the snow that we had.
And I plugged the extension cord into the snowblower.
I did the, you know, pumping the gas into the carb, which I could hear.
I was like, okay.
That worked because before there was no, you couldn't hear any fluid going in there, any fuel going in there.
And then when that thing fired up like it was brand new, I just about hit the roof.
I let it run for a little bit.
I like played a little bit with the throttle to make sure, you know, was it, and I thought, well, this is a wonderful victory.
And speaking of kids, when I came up to the house, my daughter is more in tune with me than anyone else in this house.
Like we just get each other, you know, father, daughter.
And she goes, what went right or why are you so happy?
And I said, how the hell do you know that I'm happy?
She said, because I could see you walking up to the house with a smile on your face.
And I knew that something good happened.
You know, I did a little Irish jig.
I was like, I fixed it.
And I thought that maybe I just barely jury-rigged it enough to get those core, you know, the electrical connections for the ignition to stay well stationary, but that there was no way it was going to work when I had to go out there in a blizzard on rocky roads and blow six feet of snow.
But sure as shit, I did.
It stayed connected.
And then the final captain retard moment was I got it back into the garage.
So proud of myself.
Save my family.
We can drive easily out of this rural haven.
And then I look and I'm like, oh, God, there's a bolt missing there.
That one is loose.
And another one had miraculously fallen like right into the only crack where it wouldn't.
So I was out there for an hour and a half snowblowing and I hadn't re-tightened the bolts enough with the socket wrench to keep them.
You know, there's a lot of rattle in that thing.
Oh, sure.
The electrical connections stayed.
Lost a bolt.
One was hanging on by a thread, literally, a bolt thread.
And the other one just happened to be right there.
And then I, you know, got out the socket wrench 10 millimeter, I think it was 10 millimeters and got those tightened up.
But it was one of the proudest moments of my infantile adult life.
Sam's like, oh, little baby.
But, you know, nobody, no man ever says, you retard or whatever.
They're just encouraging, right?
Like the tribe of men, even when dealing with a little Padawan who is like making his first oil change or whatever, is like, good job, buddy.
Way to go.
Yeah.
And it was really cool.
And I got the snowblower working by myself, YouTube, a little bit of dumb luck and jury rigging electrical wires.
And I had to share that with the audience.
I'm still proud about it, even if I screwed it up majorly.
Well, and then, yeah, did you say, today I am a man?
Basically, it reminds me of the, you know, I like to, I'm a comic book guy.
So I like to read the, years ago, I liked to read the Harvey Picard American Splendor comics of the underground comics of the late 70s, early 80s.
And I remember the one story he had.
He would always say of himself how incompetent he was on technical matters and things like that.
And then he had a plumbing problem and he got the plunger and the snake or whatever and he fixed it.
And he said, and apparently that's something that like for the bar mitzvah that the boy says, today I am a man.
So he fixed the toilet.
He said, today I am a man.
He's clutching the plunger overhead, you know.
But anyways, the way I look at those things is, you know, a human being assembled that snowblower.
So why can't you or I go in there and figure it out?
Not even if you don't know slowly, painfully.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even if you've never taken apart something like that or replaced any part like that.
Yeah.
Human beings made this thing.
Human beings assembled it.
Certainly you can take it apart carefully.
Certainly you are smart enough to figure it out and come up with a solution, including if you have to Afroengineer something or thankfully now with Amazon, you can get next day delivery of a particular part you need.
So definitely approach with confidence and zeal.
Yeah, I deliberately make that self-effacing out of self-awareness for other guys who are probably out there and maybe are not so keen to admit their failures on such a core element of the man code.
I'm not trying.
It doesn't bother me.
We talked, you know, my dad was always good at that stuff, but I hated it and he never made me do it because his father forced him to do it and he hated doing it, but got good at doing it.
So it's like, it's not a knock against my father.
It's a knock against myself.
It's partially my genetics.
And it's a painful process.
But if there's hope for me, then there's probably hope for a lot of guys in the audience who think that they're not handy and can't do stuff.
And everybody knows about, you know, you can go to YouTube to find a lot of those things.
Sometimes you gotta like, you have to like slow it down because they will blow through things that seem obvious to them and have no self-awareness about fixing it themselves.
Still high on life from that.
And I, you know, I've made so many stupid mistakes mechanically, electrically over the years.
And I share so that you don't feel so bad and that you feel more encouraged because the and the other thing is I don't actually feel that guilty about it because I know it's a, it's a low point verbal IQ, mathematical IQ, emotional IQ, mechanical IQ.
We come built different with brains wired differently.
And it's just an obvious flaw or weakness on my end.
The last thing that I had in my stack, which is a little bit of an Easter egg for the audience, is that I, for the first time in a long time, listened to an Antifa podcast.
Didn't mention this to Robo Sam or anybody else.
I really did because Junior's been going to indoor soccer practice.
And, you know, like, do I really want to sit in the gym and look at my phone or read a book or whatever?
Beach body season is approaching.
So I will just walk around the massive track that they have out there.
And sometimes I'll listen to music.
Sometimes I'll listen to our guy podcast.
But I saw this Antifa podcast.
And the only core takeaway that I had from it is that they, assuming that they were being more or less honest, because, you know, even WNs will hedge a little bit and know that the enemy is listening, is that they seemed deeply disturbed and concerned about the future, about liberalism, about the insurgents of Trumpism.
And I don't know what I expected.
I was just like, let's see what these faggots are saying these days.
And, you know, everybody puts on a little bit of a front for the microphone and nobody's like, it's all over.
You know, let's go kill ourselves.
Let's cut off the dicks that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
But that was my takeaway that they were deeply concerned.
And this was before Trump was inaugurated, too.
Oh, yeah.
I shared with you, I think, Coach, that Wall Street Journal article is saying like this woke liberalism is worldwide.
It's out.
It's just out for a variety of reasons.
After the fact and saw it, now that's a little bit of card before the horse or a little bit preemptive celebration.
I suspect that neoliberalism and all the cat ladies and stuff still have a little bit of fight in them down the road, Sam.
But for now, they're on the back heel.
The real fight is against the neoconservative conservatism.
Oh, yes.
I'm not saying common sense.
Yeah, I'm just saying the woke liberalism.
I do think that that is on its own.
Yep, absolutely.
It went too far.
It offended too many people.
And again, I always have that other aspect of our thing in my head that that was the plan all along.
Now you're being redirected to philosophism, but just not tranny stuff.
I also have a similar thought to that.
Fire.
It's so horrifying.
I will not say it on air.
No, you have to.
I won't.
I will say it on air.
Like they say, the kosher anti-Semitism.
That's what we're getting now.
Oh, yeah.
Or, you know, just back to the W years, you know, Muslims, bad, Muslims, evil, partially, but in service of what?
Right.
You know, and the other thing, Rolo, that I thought of multiple times over the past week at least was your hypothetical, you know, would you take X million deportations if it meant war with Iran?
Or put another way, would you take better conditions in America if it meant that Israel got everything that it wanted?
And I think I said yes back then for semi-accelerationist or worse is better reasons.
And I have to say yes.
Well, you know, I will.
Now it's also looking like it's the possibility.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, I don't, the war, maybe not, but like, like Israel is still, Israel's been getting what it wanted since LBJ, after Nixon, at least.
Maybe Jimmy Carter, you know, Jimmy Carter and Camp David or whatever.
But since Pappy Bush or whatever, total Israeli control of Capitol Hill, the massive aid, no challenge to APAC on Capitol Hill, which is not the case today.
That APAC tracker just BTFOs Congress shit with their like I stand with Israel regularly, 30,000 likes to like 1K likes.
It's not that day anymore.
But if you put a gun to my head and those unfair hypotheticals that I love to pose, would you take better living conditions for you and your family and your well-being?
Even if it means that Israel and Jews win too, as opposed to open borders, massive inflation or whatever.
The only way that you would take that counter argument is if you were purely accelerationist and you were hoping for a second revolution.
Call me bourgeois, call me anti-revolutionary, but yes, I'm not a masochist.
I would like a better near-term future for my family and my kids.
And I'm smart enough to realize that just because they throw you a few bones or real bones or victories, that doesn't mean everything's hunky-dory.
Yeah.
Well, I would just be in favor of, like Trump said, it's not our war.
It's their war.
They're going to have to settle it or have a war or not have a war or come to peace or something.
Yeah, that's, you know, that's what I would say.
That's, that's up to them.
You know, that's the most concessionary that I could ever be is, but we should not send one dime of aid or military or anything to help them.
100%.
Aside from that, they could do whatever they want.
If they want to have a war, if they want to make peace, they, you know, by us, by the U.S. stopping supporting them, they would be, they would have to come up with some kind of, you know, diplomatic solution to it and all that.
But at least I hope Rolo would put his prediction behind the paywall.
Paywall.
Paywall.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There's no paywall anymore.
Yeah.
That's just, it's gone.
It's done.
It's in the past.
We'll leave it at that.
I went to post a show there and it just didn't work.
And then I checked in with our friend and not going well over there.
What is going well is I'm looking at my refrigerator right now and I see a beautiful picture of my daughter.
I see a picture of Ash Pod Siad Sharp, his wife, two daughters that they sent a picture from a family visitation day.
My parents sent a picture of my firstborn son, Chubby, in a little beach chair, smiling with all the hope of the world.
And also a picture of a newly freed J Sixer with a gigantic weight over his head that was taken before he went into the gulag.
And he's out now.
And I hope to have him on the show.
Yeah, we were in contact in the clink, not yet since he's been freed.
I think he's got better things to do than talk to us at least in the near term.
We'll see.
This show is the show to be on.
So we got to get him on.
I'm going to twist his arm for sure.
All right.
Let's get the hell out of here.
It's 1.22 a.m.
Sam's got to go to work tomorrow.
God knows if Rolo or I have to go, you know, tweak some socket wrenches or pull some pliers.
Yeah, blue collar guys are like, these hopeless, hopeless suburbanites and urbanites, whatever.
All right.
Big thanks to Justin, who hopefully is still alive.
And no profound statement here at the end.
Rolo, I am going, you created more music and found more music.
So you got the clothes in the newly charitable 2025 edition of Full House, whether it's one of yours or one of the ones you like.
It's all yours, buddy.
So we're definitely closing with Living with a Hernia by Weird Al.
I forgot to mention the hernia.
I finally got the call from the hospital and they were like, the first appointment we have is May.
Is that okay by you?
And I said, absolutely.
My front hole is not so big right now that I'm in extremis, but I have not felt the hernia so bad that I needed to go in and get it sewed up immediately.
But I probably will when May comes around.
2025?
Yes.
Yeah.
This year.
Well, you never know with these people, you know.
We're almost out of January.
So yeah.
Britishers would be like, is that in this decade that I will be able to get the national Britishers is what the Indians, yeah, that's what the Indians called the Brits.
Britishers.
Yes.
Those Britishers.
I knew there was something suspicious about your complexion.
Yeah.
No.
And I don't, I think I've told the story about walking around New Delhi before, and just that was a big mistake.
Yeah, just being in New Delhi.
Well, it was kind of exciting to be there, but yes, it's just not the place where you go for a stroll around.
I guess it's exciting like being in an outhouse for the first time.
I think I saw some urination on roads.
I didn't see any explicit defecation in the streets, but in the toniest part of New Delhi, which is Connacht Place, named after some Britisher, funny enough, it's just a giant circle.
And I was just walking around and our host had previously told me that that was one of the nicest parts in New Delhi.
And I just encountered a barely alive skeletal cadet.
I say cadaver, but he was still alive, wasting away with a festering wound on his leg or on his hip with flies and muck.
And I just, I got to call an ambulance.
And then I just called it.
Go ahead, Sam.
Did he call you star by any chance?
He had those giant eyeballs, those giant, desperate eyeballs that I remembered as a kid from seeing from like starving Ethiopians.
And this was in rising, powerful India.
And I just thought, man, that's a kind of a sign that this guy's dying on the sidewalk in a pedestrian area in this growing.
Nobody cared except for me.
And I didn't do anything.
I was just, I don't think even, I don't think I had a cell phone at the time.
Maybe a Blackberry on me.
I was going to call.
What's the Indian 911?
nine zero zero that's kind of a one one eight hundred something yeah it was not It was not a pleasant moment.
I could still see his eyes.
It was really freaking creepy to be in a major power's national capital.
Saw some of that in Moscow in 2001 with drunks dying on the side of the road or frozen to death.
But I think it happens a lot.
Maybe Indians cleaned it up too.
Arizona or New Mexico, except you see a different kind of Indian on the ground dying.
Is that a like peyote reference?
No, alcohol usually.
Okay.
Yep.
Picking up what you're throwing down.
All right.
Let's get the hell out of here before we get in any more trouble than we're already in.
Thank you, Rolo.
Thank you, Sam.
It's great to be back.
Yes.
And no compunction about that.
And Rolo's got the closing track.
Already forget what it was.
We love you, Sam.
We'll talk to you next week.
Rolo finally fixed his microphone.
It's all yours.
See ya.
See ya.
Hurts me to walk anywhere.
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones.
He took my trousers off, told me to cough.
Doctor says there ain't nothing to discuss.
He tells me anything I might have to wear a truss.
Living with a hurdy of all the time.
Such aggravation.
Living with a hurt of gonna be my ruination.
Living with a hurdle.
Got to have an operation.
Feel so old.
Too much, bad pain.
Good God drives me insane.
Can't run, barely crawl.
Died a bulk in my intestinal wall.
Walk real funny, bless my soul.
Can't play tennis and it's hard to bowl.
Can't even do the split sound.
Better call it quick sound.
Now I'm sick of all this dancing anyhow.
Living with a herdium.
Hurts me bad in a tender location.
Living with a herdium.
Head of humiliation.
Living with a herdium.
Got to have an operation.
I live with a herdium.
Can't get up.
Can't bend over.
Now I live with a herd of wait a minute.
You may not be familiar with the common types of hernias that you can get.
