But you should study history, and history is the important thing you learn from.
What you learn from history is the market goes down.
It goes down a lot.
The math is simple.
There's been 93 years a century.
This is easy to do.
The market's had 50 declines of 10% or more.
So 50 declines in 93 years.
About once every two years, the market falls 10%.
We call that a correction.
That means that's a euphemism for losing a lot of money rapidly.
We call it a correction.
And so 50 declines in 93 years, about once every two years, the market falls 10%.
Of those 50 declines, 15 have been 25% or more.
That's known as a bear market.
We've had 15 declines in 93 years.
So every six years, the market's going to have a 25% decline.
That's all you need to know.
You need to know the market's going to go down sometime.
If you're not ready for that, you shouldn't own stocks.
And it's good when it happens.
If you like a stock at 14, it goes to six.
That's great.
You understand the company, you look at the balance sheet, and they're doing fine.
You're hoping to get to 22 with it.
14 to 22 is terrific.
6 to 22 is exceptional.
So you take advantage of these declines.
They're going to happen.
No one knows when they're going to happen.
People tell you about it after the fact that they predicted it, but they predicted it 53 times.
And so you can take advantage of the volatility of the market if you understand what you own.
So I think that's the key element.
Another key element is that you have plenty of time.
People are in an unbelievable rush to buy a stock.
I'll give you an example of a well-known company.
Walmart went public in October of 1970.
1970 went public.
Already had a great record.
It had 15 years performance, great balance sheet.
You could have waited 10 years saying you're a very conservative investor.
You're not sure this Walmart can make it.
You want to check.
You see them operate in small towns.
You're afraid they can only make it in seven or eight states.
You want to wait till they go to more states.
You keep waiting.
You could have bought Walmart 10 years after they went public and made 35 times your money.
If you bought it when they went public, you would have made 500 times your money.
You've been waiting 10 years after Walmart in public to make 30, over 30 times a month.
Welcome everyone to Full House, the world's greediest show.
Newly greedy for white fathers, aspiring ones, and the whole bio fam.
It is April 6th, 2025, episode 210, and I am your unrealized losses poor host, Coach Finstock, for sure.
Back with another hour, maybe two tops of commentary on what has become a much more interesting passing scene since around January 20th, if we're honest with ourselves.
That was investing legend Peter Lynch of Fidelity spitting truth back in 1993 about the realities of the market and the inevitable fire sales that always occur and that you have to be prepared to take advantage of.
We'll talk more about that tonight.
Before we meet the birth panel, though, and as we approach our sixth anniversary, huge thanks to the White Stag Athletic Club for their kind support of Full House.
I got word from a good friend the other day that he wrote to Ash in England so that I can at least feel good about that instead of wallowing in self-guilt for not writing our pal in prison for several months now.
That is going at the top of my list of things to do, and it should be on yours too.
So check out White Stag on Telegram.
We'll put the link in the show notes.
My dog is all up in my business, jealous that I'm not giving her attention.
And you can find Ash's mailing address on that telegram.
And of course, don't forget about the give, send, go for his lovely wife and daughters too.
After all that, let us indeed get on with it.
First up, he's run the numbers over the weekend and calculated that now he only has to work one more decade to reach his retirement goal.
One extra decade.
Are you taking this in stride?
Serious question, Sam, or does it kind of bug you freak you out a little bit?
No, no, definitely taking it in stride.
And I mean, I am a small, small time investor for sure.
But I did, there's, there's one guy in our, among our local guys who's really into, he's watching the Bitcoin and he knows that he could tell you an hour's worth of information about it.
And the other day I did, I've, I got stuff in there and I just have always watched it and there's short incremental additions.
But the other day when it hit absolute, I think it was March 28th, it went way down, you know, and I said, that's it.
I'm going to buy a little bit.
I've never bought on a, you know, on a punch or on a, you know, based on watching it.
So I put 50 bucks on Bitcoin and 50 bucks on Ethereum, you know, and sure enough, it did come.
It did.
I mean, that was, it was so low, there was no way it wasn't going to come back to like some kind of levels.
So it definitely was a good move.
But yeah, I, you know.
It all depends on your station in life, how much you have invested.
What is it a long-term thing?
Is it your, you know, nobody should have their grocery money invested really at all?
No, yeah.
No, right, right.
But well, I've got lots of thoughts about it.
And I, um, I've, yeah, I made many, plenty of mistakes too, over my now, what, two, at least two decades investing history.
I started right when I got out of college, you know, with mutual funds and stuff like that.
I've made plenty of mistakes, learn from some of them, still recommit them out of old habits, animal spirits, et cetera.
But we will try to give.
Yeah, I mean, we're coming up on a big day.
We're going to use Blue Monday by Orgy as the bumper track.
And we will see.
As of right now, it looks like it's going to be a very blue, black Monday, but it's starting to tick up a little bit.
So, you know, you know, the adage, when others are fearful, be greedy.
When there's blood in the streets, that's when you make a killing.
Really, really important, possibly risky opportunity here shaping up.
Well, you know, I came into my work and career when all benefits and things like that were going away.
People were working just for their paycheck, even.
So there were no benefits, no, not even medical benefits.
You know, there were times that I had gone through that as well.
And eventually when I got to the point of trying to put, put something, get something started, not to keep revisiting our money shows, but something that is kind of like an annuity, something that is a little bit protected from the wildness of what's going on.
But I think that the fact that things are volatile is good for us in particular.
Absolutely.
The younger you are, the better it is.
And, you know, unless you have a kid who's about to go to college and you're getting nervous about those education funds or in retirement or approaching it, then I could see you being irritated, stressed, pissed off.
But still, things are still well up over the long term.
And I got more requests for all those like, hello, can you introduce me yet?
I got more requests over the past four or five days for commentary on tariffs to re-up on personal finance and stuff like that.
It's the perfect time.
It's not opportunistic or just feeding off the news.
Like, you know, they say nothing ever happens.
This market puke is a real happening, not just for the prices of the securities, but for the global economic order, not to be too grandiose about it.
So, very important stuff.
And we'll try to add value here.
Anyway, thank you, Sammy Baby.
And yep, stay calm, hold fast.
Next up, he's still young enough, barely to look at market pukes with pure selfish glee and buy world-class stocks at major discounts.
But does he have any ammunition to play the game?
Rolo, what's up, big guy?
I got no ammunition.
Oh, okay.
Not good, not good to go into war with no ammunition.
Yeah, that's what I'm warning.
Have you ever, I mean, have you dabbled in stocks or bonds or ETFs or mutual funds?
Really?
Nope.
Nope.
Never done it.
Well, that's kind of a great time to do it.
I guess.
I mean, I didn't know.
I never knew how to do it.
I knew one guy that day traded and I was kind of interested.
This was, I mean, this was years ago.
Sure.
This is probably more than a decade ago.
But like, I was interested in that at one point, like when I was, you know, grinding on the stages and I was just like, I need another set of income.
It's not like, you know, waiting tables again.
So maybe I could do this.
And then I met a guy and then, and it was like, it was just so much work.
And then I just said, escrow it, I don't care.
I wouldn't recommend that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Leave that to the computers.
Yeah.
So, so that was, that was my opportunity to kind of understand how the thing works.
And I never learned how to do it.
So I never saw how to, how to buy stuff.
So I never cared.
Well, I offered one of our pals to, you know, unofficially advise him or counsel him on the side.
I'd be, of course, more than happy to do the same for you, just with the basics.
And let's start with the tariffs themselves.
You know, our old pal Huck said, coach, you know, how do you talk about this stuff?
From a nationalistic perspective, first off, you have to indeed give it, hand it to Trump.
He's doing what he said, what he campaigned on.
He's going after illegals, maybe not as adequately as we'd like, but it's happening.
So a lovely video of a 60-year-old Hispanic lady getting her window smashed in by us.
Yes.
Yep.
Yep.
I don't care if you've been here for a quarter century or more.
If you're here, I've been here.
I think it's great.
I think it's great that they show a video like that because that shows that they are going to go even after that.
Even after that person, loving people.
Some young person.
Yeah, all of them gone.
Go.
Yep.
And that's, and that's my whole thing on this is that they are clearly doing things that they promise that are necessary.
You could always make the argument that it's inadequate, that they're not going hard enough, but he's doing that.
He is reintroducing tariffs as a source of national revenue.
This was basically promised during the campaign.
And of course, the third thing is he is filleting Israel on the rig, which was promised.
I'm not going to beat around the bush on that one.
Yeah, it's happening.
The brain and the bullet meme.
The bullet hits Trump's brain.
Israel gets billions of dollars.
The bullet misses Trump's brain.
Israel gets billions of dollars.
And one has to think that with the global markets sort of on eggshells right now and plummeting, that the Iran war talk that everybody was hyped up on just before this happened, they might be a little bit less inclined to go after the nuclear facilities with things already in the crapper.
But anyway, long story short, he campaigned on this.
tariffs obviously were the majority source of U.S. government revenue in the olden days.
They will incentivize new investment into America as much as advertised.
Maybe, maybe not.
It does.
If you are introducing a new revenue stream, yes, that raises the possibility that you could tax us less when you're essentially taxing foreign companies for them to, it's a cover charge to enter our market.
You want to come into our club?
5%, 10%, 25%, depending on our trade.
I don't even care how they came up with the numbers.
The simple fact that they were willing to do it is important.
And the other thing to think about, yes, absolutely, the markets are puking.
They thought it was going to be less, maybe 10% across the board, instead, upwards of 40, 50% on some of these countries.
It can be on everybody's freaking out now.
We'll sort of, we'll do tariffs.
And then I want to see, Sam, if you've seen anything in your industry yet, people freaking out or perhaps liking it.
It depends on the industry, of course.
But what is done by essentially one man's dick tot can also be undone tomorrow.
And as there's been a lot of hope and gossip that maybe Trump will back down if the market drops enough, he could do that.
Obviously, some countries have already come to the table and said, yep, instead of totally retaliating against you, let's cut a deal, which of course, Trump is always hungry for a deal that he can trumpet.
So I think there are people that say that this is upending the global economy and this is going to cause at least a recession, if not a depression, because one does not simply turn the global economy in a different direction overnight, which is kind of what they're trying.
But the Fed could step in and announce more quantitative easing or liquidity for the market.
They could do an emergency rate cut, all those things.
So people with their hair on fire, oh my God, my stocks are down.
I mean, my stock equity holdings are overwhelmingly in my IRA, individual retirement account, and for the kids and their future college education.
So in terms of my timeframe, I don't give a rat's ass.
You know, I'm not worried about making the mortgage based on the market puke.
If you are, and this gives you severe anxiety, then that's the clear tell that you have too much exposure to stocks that you're investing with money that probably shouldn't be in the stock market.
But most importantly, back to Peter Lynch, if you zoom out, and we did this, we did a very similar show in March of 2020 when COVID had tanked everything.
If you zoom out, that big line, whether you call it the S ⁇ P 500, the Dow, the total market, it goes up and it does have those regular negligible, significant, massive drops, and then it recovers.
I can't tell you 100% sure that this is going to recover.
It might go and might drop massively more on Monday and approach 1987 levels.
The stock market dropped like 25% in a day in Black Monday, Blue Monday, whatever they called it back then.
And then, of course, went on from the 90s.
Yeah.
So my personal opinion, not professional or personalized investment advice, is that especially for our younger and anybody who's not close to retirement or doesn't have kids about to go to college with that money, you should absolutely start getting greedy here.
Of course, this supposes that you have any cash or ammunition to spend.
2007, 2008, COVID, March 2020, and now March 20, or something about Marches.
March 20, 2009 was the bottom of the financial crisis and it rocketed.
March 2020, COVID was the bottom of that.
And then it went sideways for a couple of years and then rocketed over the past few years.
Same situation here.
S p 500, Bitcoin, world-class companies are all on fire sale.
And most likely we are going to get through this crisis either by acquiescing and backing down or by adjusting or some middle ground where they cut some deals.
And yes, our trade with China never really does recover and those foreign trinkets are going to cost more.
Anyway, I'll stop there.
I might even go into how I would allocate playing this going forward.
But Sam, you are in an industry that is certainly impacted by global financial moves, trade, tariffs, et cetera.
What have you seen so far, big guy?
I guess tomorrow will be very interesting at the office.
But yeah, any personal insights?
Well, I would say that it has definitely been an impetus.
It has definitely instigated new things.
There are big things coming on.
And, you know, we as white nationalists, we are in some ways kind of on the sidelines.
We're looking at the big players who we do not have an interest in one way or the other, in a sense, doing things.
And I saw moves being made a year ago that it's like they know, okay, this is how it's going to be going forward.
It's time to make the big investments and buy the big building and buy a bunch of machines and things like that.
So it's like this has been planned for a while.
This is known.
This is going to be big for American industry.
That's the way I see it.
It's definitely having already short-term effects, but I can see the moves being made for the long term.
Very good.
Middle term.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm thinking, you know, just scrolling through Twitter and a lot of people gloating at the, you know, the boomers, pick yourself up by the bootstraps.
Oh, so sorry your stocks went down.
A little bit of gloating.
I can't get down with that personally.
Just I'm not malicious enough.
And I actually don't want, you know, elderly white people to be impoverished or whatever, for better or worse.
I mean, yeah, we've, we've done a lot of shows on the stock market.
You can call it a Jewish casino.
But as I said to somebody just earlier today, there are very few ways to get wealthy relatively easy in this life.
One is to marry into it.
Two is to win a lawsuit.
Three is to inherit it.
I didn't add have a lucky night at the casino because that's really not an easy, it's not easy to make money.
But one of the ways is to invest when there is blood in the streets for sure.
And it's a game that anybody can play.
Anybody who tells you that money is gay and fake and Jewish is full of it.
They're a loser.
They are a loser.
You need money to live in this world.
Anyone that thinks that is retarded.
Honestly, you need to make as much money as possible if you want to win.
That is why Jews beat us so frequently because they have the money to gain the reach that they have to tell their narrative.
You need money.
If not just for your cause, but just for your family.
For your peace of margin, your ability to support more kids.
Yep.
If you're not trying to get money, you're leaving it on the table for your enemies to take from you.
Absolutely.
And yes.
And putting your money to work for you is not inherently Jewish.
It is, if you buy a house and it goes up in value, you're happy.
You are wealthier on paper, right?
All these things, it's a tool.
It is a life tool.
It's something that you can correct the sins of the boomers and build a nice nest egg that will then help your kids.
You can help them when your kids have kids.
You can help them.
And one of the time-tested ways to do that is by investing in the market.
And there's, you know, you can't perfectly know when it's going to bottom out.
There are some signs.
There was a great tweet the other day that said, look, I've been through the late 90s crash with long-term capital management, the great financial crisis, the COVID crash, and it's still too early to say this is the bottom.
So don't listen to the show and plop, you know, thousands of dollars on stonks on Monday morning.
And full disclosure, I got a little greedy.
I dabbled a little bit on Thursday and I dabbled more on Friday as it continued to drop because I just couldn't see Apple dropping 10% in a day and all these other things going on sale and not think that is going to, you're going to look back and view that as a buying opportunity.
And there's probably going to be more buying opportunities on Monday.
Now, I mentioned I have all my money in IRAs and kids education savings accounts.
Irish Republican Army.
That's a good investment.
Yeah, I think I've got Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is, you know, it's just below 80 as we go to tape tonight.
It was admirably resilient on Friday for the first time in a long time.
It was not puking when everything else was.
It has been sort of susceptible to, oh, Iran launched missiles at Israel.
Bitcoin plummets.
But absolutely still bullish on that long term.
However, what's interesting is I do have a not huge, but not tiny CD coming to maturity this month.
And that was something that I bought when interest rates were at, I think I got 5.25% over 15 months, which was great.
That stayed high when the Fed was cutting rates and regular savings accounts and come down.
So I'm going to have a chunk of change to actually, I could just save it and earn 4% and probably less as time goes by, approaching inflation for sure.
Or I could put on my big boy pants and actually invest important money, not long-term retirement money in the market.
And this is just my personal thinking.
I haven't done it yet.
Do your homework, et cetera, et cetera.
But if I were to plop this down in the market, this is what I'm thinking in terms of an allocation.
You may think this is crazy, stupid.
I think it might be kind of cool.
10% in Bitcoin.
Now, the new lowest cost Bitcoin ETF is actually Ticker BTC.
That's Grayscale.
Grayscale was the first one to have a Bitcoin fund, but their fees were exorbitantly expensive compared to all the new ones that came out earlier this year or earlier in 2024, excuse me, VanEck, et cetera.
So check out that sticker BTC.
It's got a really low expense rate, which is very important.
That's something that I've overlooked in the past.
Oh, yeah, I really like this ETF.
It's in the water industry and that'll give me everybody needs water, right?
And then you look at it and it's got half a percentage point that the company, you know, the fund is charging you every year.
So 10% Bitcoin, 10% gold.
There are gold ETFs.
Ticker that I like is GLDM.
That is a lower fee gold ETF.
It's, you know, you put money in and then this company in theory is holding gold for you.
Now, gold has skyrocketed over the past two years, right?
It's still, it's going up tonight before the markets are open.
It's over $3,000 an ounce.
You have to think, are you buying high there?
The exact opposite of what you want.
But whereas bitcoin is volatile and has potentially huge amounts to run gold, of course, is the classic money a store of wealth.
You know, gold doesn't go up or down, it just reflects the value of the dollar is what people say anyway.
So 10 gold I won't make a huge long thing.
10 S P 500 Vo is a Vanguard ticker.
There's lots of S P 500 etfs.
If you're going for that and buying this dip, which could continue, just look for one that has a very low expense fee.
Qqq is one that i've loved for a long time.
That is essentially the Nasdaq.
It's very tech heavy, but it's not all tech costco's in there, etc.
If you look at that chart, it is better than the S P 500, at least over the past five years.
So that's your tech heavy play.
Tech has been hammered harder than anything.
Tech, energy and financials are down massively during this puke.
You know we're down roughly 15.
Uh, I don't know if i'll just just listen carefully.
I don't know if i'll put this in writing because I don't want to.
You know anybody can listen to this and see how, how this would do this again.
This audience can be replayed in the future.
That's right egg.
I'm going balls to the wall.
Egg on face.
SCHD 10, that is Schwab's high dividend blue chip fund, also relatively low fee.
That's where you know there's all sorts of investing.
There's income investing where you want dividends.
You want these companies that are paying money.
You can either reinvest the dividends to make that holding grow bigger and bigger and you know it's the snowball effect or you could just take the money and say thank you for my you know, quarterly dividend payment.
But that one is awesome.
It's not going to shoot the moon like you hope bitcoin would, but it would probably outperform uh, just based on the income alone.
Uh, what I put in here.
Schwab also has a value fund and a growth fund, SCG S CHV.
It doesn't have to be Schwab.
Could you could look to um uh, Vanguard or Fidelity for all sorts of equivalents of this.
It depends on who you're with, what you like.
It doesn't matter.
Swap them in, but growth investing versus income investing versus value investing you could do a little bit of of each and then watch to see how they grow again.
Blood in the streets right now.
Maybe more blood in the streets, not call on the bottom, but you could do as I said on friday, you could pick far worse days to invest than when the market is down 10 or 15 over a span of a few days.
You might not pick the bottom, but you could do far worse.
And then finally, going back to the total market exposure, FZ Rocks, RO X from Fidelity that's basically the whole universe of the stock market.
That includes small stocks as well, the Russell the small stocks have been absolutely hammered worse than anything.
I think they call that the Russell 2000, but that, but they, when they grow, they give you massive gains.
So that basically, is saying, I will take a chunk of the entire stock market FC Rocks at a 0 percent fee.
I think there's a little bit of a dividend there too, just because there's so many damn equities equities in there.
Uh, and regardless, that's that's what i'm thinking as of tonight as I play this out.
I'm going to try to resist the temptation to pick up Nvidia at a discount, because when you buy an individual stock there's, you're just taking on more risk there.
All of these things except for arguably, bitcoin and gold, are diversified.
They represent hundreds, if not thousands, of companies and you know a nuclear bomb could go off wherever Nvidia makes its chips and then you're screwed Apple obviously getting slaughtered due to uh tariffs.
But i'll say it for the last time, I guess, especially if you're young, especially if you're go by Rollo on the internet um, think about starting to build an investment nest egg for whatever you're if.
If you really hate volatility and you know yourself and you can't take it, then perhaps think about Schwab dividend or Schwab value, not going to skyrocket as much as the others, but it's going to be stable.
Look at the.
The beta on a stock is how volatile it is, lower or better, you know it's.
It's a simple question of risk and reward.
The more risk, the more potential for reward and pulling your hair out versus just nice slow, steady growth.
I don't see tariffs, you know, if you think about the Covid puke um, that was arguably, you know, global pandemic supply chains completely shutting down and they did destroy, they did like actively destroy a lot of supply chains.
Like this is just temporary price raises.
It could be yep, it could, it could be massive.
Well, I mean that.
I mean that's what.
That's what a tariff is.
It's not like yeah, they went up because, like all of the temporary yeah right yeah, it's not because, like all of the, the diamond mines uh, are have been strip mined.
It's like that we're out of oil.
Yep yeah yep, um.
Energy is another one that I you know.
Energy companies are massive.
They're generally very capital efficient.
The problem with energy, of course, is that it's really cyclical um, you know, it'll go up when price, when oil prices rise, and it'll drop.
It's total sine wave.
You could trade that, of course, and it's looking pretty attractive right now, but a little uh volatile, not really a long-term play, excuse me.
Yeah um, but yeah, I I do.
I know.
No, I don't know.
Do I feel a little bit exposed by sounding bullish right now?
For sure um, I already admitted that I jumped in too early on friday with some purchases, when probably I should have waited until monday.
But we don't know uh, it would take one speech from from uh, Jerome Powell, or it would take, you know, a handful of massive uh, you know announcements agreements, that they cut a deal and those tariffs are going to go away, for the market to go crazy again and say, ho cow, all right, it's over, we're through.
Now we can go back to to the party.
Um, so I hope you use this at least to do your research.
If nothing else, take a look at those funds, educate yourself.
I was talking to the kids in the car again about investing and how it all works and at one point my daughter said dad, I don't think i'm following anymore.
And then her big brother was like, keep going, keep going, i'm totally following it, but it's, it's absolutely I.
I you know sometimes Sometimes, when you do that fantasy about if I could go back and relive my life, like, man, imagine going back to the 90s and knowing what you know now and being able to call Apple and Microsoft and all those things or Amazon and stuff like that.
So I'm betting against AOL.
Those things went through their bust.
Remember the dot-com bus, so to speak.
Exactly.
Yep.
You know, those things went through.
And, you know, you look for the little signs to say to yourself, ah, this is a tell.
This is showing me.
And I couldn't help but look at the various outlets that were crowing about, you know, oh, Trump has destroyed the economy, this many trillion lost, and all this thing.
And it, it, it just sounded, it's, it sounds like too eager.
They're, they're, they, they're so desperate to call Trump a failure that they're pointing to this.
Oh, look at, and if you want, there's no better uh barometer of this.
I happened to watch a little bit of Saturday Night Live this past weekend.
Don't hate me.
Oh, bless your heart.
Yeah.
I know.
I didn't, my wife put it on and I maybe we were hoping you were previous.
That was the previous previous one.
No, this and they were talking about, oh, yeah, Trump destroyed the entire economy.
People voted for this.
Ha ha ha.
They're so desperate to call this some kind of failure that makes me think that it just smacks of the jumping the gun.
You know, I am old enough to remember in the early 2000s, not early, mid-2000s, when the economy was tanking, GM went down to something like $2 and something cents per share.
Now, you know that GM owns property and machinery and all kinds of things that is way more value than what the market was showing at that time.
But I can remember having arguments with people about it.
Like, no, this is it.
This is the new reality.
That's all gone.
This is automotive industry gone in this country, never coming back.
Everything like, wait a minute, no, $2.
This is for sure it can go up.
For sure, it's going up from $2 and something cents per share.
Sure enough, you know, here it's $44.18 a share going right now today.
You know what I mean?
So it's like that.
You know, the market is emotional.
It goes up and down like that.
Absolutely.
Definitely when it goes down, you've got to make some moves.
At least pay attention.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In the past, when there's been pukes in the past, Sam, in my earlier career, I just can't open it.
I'm not looking at it.
Now, I didn't sell in panic, which was good, but I didn't do the next best thing, which is to really start kicking the tires and getting greedy and looking what has been really beaten down, arguably unjustifiably.
Yep.
Yeah.
And just like, you know, like your reluctance to plant new things for the spring show and all that.
This is the same thing.
You know, somebody might say, oh, what am I going to do?
Oh, everything's bad.
No, no, do something.
Do something, even if it's something little.
That's how I got it.
Yeah.
I got involved in investing.
I got involved in investing.
I got involved in planting things the same way.
It's like, you know, that sounds good.
I'm going to, I'm going to do something.
Maybe it won't be big, but it will be something.
And then you build on that.
So that's the way to look at this.
100%, Sam.
You don't have to plop it all at once.
You can buy a little bit and see how it goes.
If it goes down, then you might say, huh, maybe I should add to that position.
Or no, that was a stinker.
Let's not double down on losses.
The funny, interesting story.
My best individual investment of all time has been, drum roll, after my daughter was born, I bought a bunch of Apple stock in her education savings account.
This was 2014, maybe 2015 at the latest, 607%, even with, you know, whatever it's down over the past couple of days.
And why did I do that?
World-class company, wonderful products, huge fan base, et cetera, expanding into new things.
So that was an individual stock king.
Now, of course, I've picked other individual stocks that have gone bankrupt, right?
And I kept thinking, oh, hang in there, hang in there.
And it all disappeared into the ether, have done it all.
Speaking to Peter Lynch there at the top, when it comes to individual stock picking, he was like, well, it's okay to do it if you feel like it's in your wheelhouse, if you shop at Costco every weekend and you see those massive lines, or if you work in retail and you know that this store is killing it, right?
I once asked Junior, hey, what's you got to pay attention to the trends?
Is there a new video game out there that's killing it or a thing or whatever?
And he said, well, you know, I see hey dudes on virtually every other kid.
Hey, dude, shoes, casual sneakers.
They're made by Crocs.
I said, all right.
So Crocs is massively volatile, you know, consumer discretionary.
It goes up and down.
It goes up and down.
But we bought a little bit of Crocs for him just so that he could start to get the experience of, you know, does your observation pay out?
Is it too late?
Have people already noticed the hey dude phenomenon?
Or does it have room to row?
All this stuff is good.
And to the Peter Lynch thing, I like owning oil stocks, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, because every time I see a car on the street, I'm like, that is, you know, cash that's very circuitously going back into my retirement fund.
That's not going anywhere anytime soon.
So do your homework.
Don't be afraid.
If there's a time to dabble, it is, if not right now, then maybe at some point over the next week or the next month, right?
Sometimes this stuff can drag out over a year.
It can get worse before it gets better.
Markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent.
But you can always feel better that you're not buying stocks in February of 2025.
You're doing it in April 2025 at a severe discount.
And think about it.
Trump is a businessman.
He loves wealth.
He's got, you know, businessmen stacked throughout his administration.
He's going guns blazing on this.
I think it's almost personal for him, right?
All those videos back to the 80s when he was talking about trade and America getting ripped off.
And then all these eggheads come along and say, well, actually, you need to have trade deficits if you want the dollar to, you know, this and that.
And I think there is some validity to that.
They're trying to do the right thing here out of necessity, that they realize that they need those treasury bond rates to come down so that they're not paying a trillion dollars a year in interest on treasuries.
And treasuries have come down as the market pukes because people are rushing to buy treasuries, lowering the yield because there's more demand for them.
And it's a fact.
You probably don't need a lecture for us, but the hollowing out of American industry and middle America so that we can get cheap shit from China and elsewhere is an all-time atrocity against the American people.
I don't want the market to drop another 20, 30% or whatever.
But if you zoom out and look at it, who gets hurt the most from these market pukes?
It's overwhelmingly the rich.
And his treasury secretary even said that.
Like, what?
The top 10% owns 88, interestingly enough, percent of equities.
The other 12% is like, you know, Middle America.
You know, the whole thing that Americans don't own stocks, I think whether they realize it or not, a lot of Americans have money skin in the game.
And then the Treasury Secretary said, you know, the other, the bottom half of America is just in debt.
They're renting their home.
Right.
They, they're, God forbid, leasing their car or have a massive payment on their car every month.
And they're just skating by by the skin of their teeth to stay afloat.
So to his credit, he's like, you know, suck it up.
And Trump's like, it's going to be tough.
Only the strong survive.
I, you know, is this a deliberate tanking?
Somebody said that Trump just doesn't give a shit this time around.
You know, one of these infamous anonymous sources.
There's probably an element of truth to that.
You know, screw you and your market puke.
We're going to do it my way or the highway.
And just you watch.
This might work out in the end.
So I think I don't want to beat a dead horse further, but do your homework.
Get greedy when others are fearful.
When there's blood in the streets, that's when you can make a killing.
If anybody wants to reach out and has a question, I am not an expert.
I am not a professional.
I've made more mistakes than I've made home runs.
But now that I'm 44 and have two decades of hard lessons learned, you can do worse than just buying the SP 500 when it's on fire sale.
There might be better strategies out there.
Warren Buffett himself was like, for 90% of investors, they should just buy the SP 500.
VOO was the one ticker that I mentioned, but there's plenty that over the long term will likely serve you well.
And I guarantee you, if you ran the numbers and you look back at people who bought after Black, whatever the Black Monday in 87 or bought the NASDAQ after the tech collapse in 2000 or bought anything after the financial crisis in March 2009.
And then again, when COVID happened, absolutely, you can make a killing, grow your money.
And if you get too nervous and you feel like you made some profit, go ahead.
Yeah, sell cash out.
Do whatever you want to do with it.
But it's the way to play the game, whether you like it or not.
And I'll stop with that.
We're going to have to call this show money and murder because we are blood in the streets in the markets and then blood at the track.
Blood in the streets.
Yeah.
Austin Metcalf.
We don't, I personally don't do the whole social media propaganda thing when a white kid, another white kid or family gets murdered by a black or by an illegal alien, drunk driving or whatever, one, because it's too personally depressing.
Two goody two-shoes here feels like maybe it's a little bit cheap to make propaganda points.
But this one was just so grisly.
It's everywhere.
Explosion of awareness going back to John Derbyshire and the talk non-black edition where he got fired famously from National Review for writing an op-ed, basically saying, oh, yeah, black parents have to have the talk with their kids about the dangers of white cops looking to cut them down the streets.
No, non-black parents need to have the talk with their kids about black violence, savagery, criminality.
And, you know, just almost too heart sick to read it, but kids at a track meet.
And apparently, Carmelo Anthony, not the basketball player, but another future doctor, lawyer, rocket scientist, was, I'm sure he was being a disruptive African in the other teams.
You know, at these track meets, they got tents set up and it's like one team's here, one's there.
Sometimes there's five, six teams.
Sure, he was probably hitting on the girls or, you know, doing all sorts of monkey shine things.
And our pal, our friend Austin Metcalf, decided to say, hey, cut it out, get out of here.
And he's just pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the heart.
Stranger, it's hard to believe.
Well, still, you know, it shouldn't be hard to believe.
One in one in 22 black men will murder somebody.
That's four and a half percent, you know.
So that's like you say, the the talk as, as i've told all my children, my family hey, do not, do not.
Even if you can avoid talking to black people that's, that's what you should do.
Definitely don't associate with them, don't confront them, don't have anything to do with them in in society.
The risk, yeah, too risky, and you never know if they're going to turn on Dime Rollo.
You were saying that Carmelo was not your typical thugged out.
Uh, he wasn't a a gentle giant or a uh, George Zimmerman murderer type that he actually presented better.
Well there there's, there's a video of him, it's.
It almost looks like something that you would send to college to to show like look, look how good, look how proficient I am at at my craft.
And he's not like yo yo, what's up.
I've been 10 years in a federal pee.
Don't look at boy like he's just like.
He just looks like some typical, like nerdy black, like he's not like a big buck, like Terry Cruise looking one.
He's kind of kind of skinny.
Looking like he's.
He's not not too, I don't know, he just he looks like some kind of the kind of kid that good one.
Well, i'd say a lesser parent wouldn't mind their white like a dumb parent wouldn't mind their white child being friends with right.
Well, if there's one thing that you learn from this, show around blacks, never relax.
Yep there's, there's a reason for that yeah and, and you have to talk to your kids about it that crystal clear.
Uh, here's one.
Oh, he didn't look that bad, I just told him to slide over and you get no, not stabbed in the back, the other kind, do the stab in the back, they'll do the stab in the heart, right in the chest.
Yeah, it's very often it works oppositely the way you think you.
You see some, some guy with the dreadlocks hanging down.
He's got a ball cap on with a, the metal plate on the front cocked over to the side, and he walks in a certain way that is.
I've known guys like that that were completely harmless and it's off, oftentimes the very nondescript looking negro that is a killer.
So you, you cannot trust any of them.
Don't have anything to do with them.
That's word to the wise.
Yep, and yeah, same goes at the workplace, right?
Uh yeah, the Virginia Beach shooter was the black guy who just I mean, you could go on and on with the examples, the whole yeah, myth that it's, you know, crazy white boys doing the the mass shootings is just some of them some, some of them do but yeah, the black ones get.
Well, most of the most of the the crazy white boys that do the shootings are gay Or they probably were bullied by blacks.
Or they're not white, as a matter of fact.
And on SSRIs or they're Jewish, yeah, or they're trannies.
Well, I don't count, I don't count non-whites as white.
Yeah.
Think about how impossibly guilty and heartbroken you would be if your son or daughter got murdered by one of these creatures and you had not taken the time to talk to them about it either by overlooking it or not wanting to see, you know, to instill racism at them at an early age.
I would say that as soon as they are comprehending of the differences between people and their have self-awareness of themselves in the world, that you are honor and duty bound to inform them that they cannot relax around them and that you cannot assume it's a good one.
It's just the ghoulish glee and the go fund me for them and all that stuff is so disgusting.
It's so bad that millions of people are seeing it and getting it.
Even Matt Walsh has been going pretty hard.
I mean, you know, black criminality is sort of like passe to us, right?
That's so 1.0 or that's so black criminality is redundant.
Yeah.
It's just what they do.
There's, it's not like something that went wrong with them.
It's and it's and it's and it's not even like a higher number of them are to the point where you're just like, huh, well, there's a lot more.
It's, it's weird when they're not criminals.
Right.
How did this, how did this come to be?
Right.
Like they, they'll just like they will just compulsively steal things.
It doesn't matter what.
They'll rape anything.
And they kill, they kill people over the most trivial possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And and when they get called out on it, they, they, their answer is like, you ain't got to say it like that.
Like there's zero remorse.
Like there's never, there's never a, oh my God, what have I done?
Like they never have that moment.
It's, it is insane to me.
Yeah.
Well, you got to have a soul to have a conscience to have remorse.
No, I'm saying it's insane to me that we're this late in the game.
Yeah.
And this keep relearning these lessons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like people don't get it yet.
Right.
Like what it's like.
They're too afraid to say or do anything about it.
Yeah.
To me, it's like my problem with Nightmare on Elm Street 5.
Like there's still like we're in the fifth movie in this series and we still have characters that don't believe in Freddy Krueger, even though like every teenager has been murdered in their sleep.
And then people are like, oh, preposterous, where it's like, oh, black men don't murder any higher.
It's just all of the police are doctoring the reports.
All of the FBI is pious.
Boy, do you not know the color of the FBI?
It's not as, it's not a good old boys club.
It's not like anymore.
No, it's no, it's not.
It's, it's just like, why do we have so many people that are just unwilling to just be honest about this very, very simple thing?
It's, it's, it's just so weird because you, you get, you get nothing from it.
Like you literally, you gain nothing less than zero by defending by defending blacks.
Yep.
Yeah.
Forget about investment advice.
Yeah.
Defending black criminality.
You're going to end up with egg on your face every single time.
Like literally, there's nothing like best case scenario.
I can't think of one.
Yeah, I'm thinking, I mean, I almost can't do it, but I'm thinking of the Mall of America, little white boy that got tossed over the ledge.
Cannon Hinnant, I believe, was the kid who was playing in his front yard and got shot and killed in the head.
And too many.
The worst one is that sort of ghostly image of the fear black creeping into the nursery and snatching the one boy out of the crib who ended up getting murdered and then going back for the second one and he got cold feet or he heard a sound.
No, no, the kid was hiding.
He couldn't find him.
Oh, damn, maybe I just saw the footage of him taking the one.
Yeah, I can't look at it or think about it too much.
It's too painful.
But this kicked off a fairly intense argument about the father's commentary and about forgiveness, whether forgiveness by the Merriam Webster definition or Christian forgiveness.
So Rolo, if you have the clip of the father cucking to the world after his son was just stabbed in the heart, if you wouldn't mind playing that, buddy.
It's very unfortunate that this other child decided to make a bad choice that's going to affect him for the rest of his life.
I have compassion for every human being.
This is not, I want to make this very clear.
This is not a race issue.
This is not a black and white issue.
I don't want someone stepping up on a soapbox trying to.
I don't appreciate some of the remarks I've seen online that people say there was this fight and there was, they don't know.
They weren't there.
Straight out of central casting.
Yeah.
Makes me sick to my stomach.
Unfortunate child, bad choice, compassion, not a race issue.
That if that guy is not a robot or not, you know, puppeteered on camera, I can't, it's indescribably incomprehensible that your son could get stabbed in the heart at a track meet by a nog and then you come out.
He didn't even look that sad and to make excuses for him and have compassion for his son's murderer.
The very last thing on my mind, if one of my kids, God forbid, was taken in a situation like this would be any thought of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, pure hatred.
My only concern is that I wouldn't hate enough, right?
That I would be more sorrowful than angry.
But, you know, damn me to hell if I ever give a statement like that in the face of an interracial tragedy.
And I know there's, you know, did he, did he have a handler or did he just do it on his own?
I don't know.
It doesn't really matter.
No doubt.
Somebody had to get to him.
And I don't know what you do to somebody to make them say this.
I mean, what money could you offer somebody?
What persuasion could you apply to somebody?
I mean, it just doesn't even compute.
Yeah.
I mean, at a certain point when you're long in the tooth, you're like, well, now is my chance to go full dirty hand.
Yeah.
Right.
You know, the guy in the airport who shot dead his son's molester.
It did kick off a fairly strenuous disagreement, though, about forgiveness and Christian forgiveness in particular.
Of course, the non-Christian guy or guys, you know, that is a poisonous ideology to instantly go to forgiveness or even have that word on your lips in a situation like this.
And I totally agree.
My only, I guess, you know, seeing both sides of the story would be that there is a risk that you get consumed entirely by thoughts of hatred and revenge in a situation like this to the point where it becomes a detriment to the rest of your family,
to your surviving kids, and that there's an element of maybe a rational psychoanalysis or self-therapy where at a certain point you have to let things go in order to heal and not just be depressed or in a white hot rage for the rest of your life.
So, Sam, that one's over to you and Rolo, of course, you too, because our pal was doing a little bit of, I don't know if it was Christian apologetics or whatever, but trying to give the theological understanding of what that means doesn't mean, oh, you killed my son.
Okay, I forgive you.
Bye-bye.
End of story.
A little more complicated than that.
Yeah, I mean, these things are devils.
These things are animals.
You know, there's no forgiving something like that.
If your child, sad to say, was mauled by an animal or something like that, this would be maybe something in that range of thought.
There is no forgiving something like this.
It's just not even an appropriate conversation.
These are not human beings.
These are not people.
These are devils.
And prove me wrong.
Amen.
Rolo, any thoughts on it?
Yeah, I think what it comes down to, like, would you forgive a tiger for eating your child or like a grizzly bear?
Or a devil.
That's what I'm saying.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I guess I in that theory, I guess in that situation, I guess, and I see where you're going, of course.
Can you blame a tiger for being a tiger?
No.
So by that argument, yeah, oh, yeah, he was, he was just living according to his quote.
If I'm hating anybody in this, it's the so-called Christians or so-called white people that would, in some way, like this, this disgusting comments of the father.
You know, those are the people I'm angry at is the people that refuse to acknowledge the reality of this story.
How many white liberals clapping?
Oh, so, so stunning and brave for him to go out there and take the higher, take the higher road with right.
Well, that's that shows you how homicidal white liberals are.
Like, yeah, like, yeah, like way to go for allowing the killer to not to not face social stigma and to perpetuate the cycle of this tragedy that occurs daily, like multiple times a day.
Way to go.
Way like imagine if like every time someone was like killed, like someone just applauded them.
That's what they're doing.
Yeah.
And the more I, the more I see and the lack of progress in that ideological arena, the more I come to just fully own it.
I hate white liberals.
I don't think, you know, if they, if they come to their senses at some point, great.
But there are so many millions of them who are just ideologically wedded to that suicidal empathy, trust, derascinated thinking.
It's disgusting.
I think they need to go the way of the California condor.
Sadly, if I consider how much do I hate blacks, I don't know.
I don't think about it in those terms so much.
It's like, do I hate?
Yeah, I guess I do hate blacks, but where my hatred is white hot is for these white liberals.
Yeah, those are traitors.
Those are traitors that need to be punished.
You know, the blacks are, that's how they are.
The blacks are going to be, and, and all the other groups.
I don't want to just pick on blacks.
Blacks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mexicans, any of them.
That's just how they are.
Jews.
Jews.
Yeah.
That's how they are.
That's what they're going to do.
Yeah.
Yep.
Good, good point.
And it further makes me think that, you know, the emphasis or the wishful thinking that we've seen over the years about, you know, converting liberals or them somehow being inferior to conservative.
Yeah.
Where do you see the hardest commentary coming on this guy is right-wingers, conservatives, whatever.
They're at least willing to engage with the story and bring attention to it in a negative way.
Liberals are not waking up to this and they're not going to wake up to this because to them, they see this as a good thing.
This is racial justice.
Like, well, you know what?
He probably said something racist.
Okay.
Like they all do that.
To all the people that have that, this pipe dream that you're going to convert more from the left, those people want you dead.
They want you dead.
You, Mr. Internet Nazi, that thinks like, well, we agree.
We're both anti-capitalist and we're both big into Arabs.
It's like, oh, yeah, you find common ground on that.
Yeah, they hate white people.
They hate them.
And they hate Jews just because they see them as particularly vicious white people.
Yeah.
They don't, they do not know that Jews are not white.
In fact, that's what makes them okay to hate Jews because they see them as white people.
If you do not know better, there was a picture of Merrick Garland and Prince Charles, and you didn't know who was what.
And you said one of these is from a desert tribe in the Middle East and the other one is from England.
You would not be able to pick.
It's like, I see two ugly white guys.
What's the big deal?
The common ground that you have versus like conservatives, and not to defend conservatives, because conservatives are annoying in their own ways, but you like no, no real conservative actually likes gays.
You get them alone and they'll tell you like, yeah, no, they're disgusting.
You get a, you get a liberal alone, like, I can't wait till every white person is dead because then they'll know what those indigenous Americans felt when they were given the smallpox blankets.
Once in a while, if they're young enough, you do get somebody who wakes up out of the liberal thing and becomes one of us.
But it's very small and it's only when they're young enough.
But those people, they're not ideological liberals.
They're just still young enough mental sponges that they're just taking stuff in.
They don't understand what it means to be liberal or conservative.
They're liberal because every TV show and every music and sports and whatever, all of the people that they follow are liberal.
So they just think, I like this person and they're liberal.
Therefore, I'm going to be liberal like them.
That's the only reason.
And not all boomers I'll do right here just because I have a dearly beloved friend whose parents have turned rightward in whatever they are, 60s, 70s.
And a big part of that was seeing Maryland turn from a nice state to live for white working class people, upper middle class.
Were they liberal or conservative boomers?
They were liberal, absolutely liberal.
And now they are more of the Fox News, right-wing, you know, Trump supporting types.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you meant they became like far right.
I thought you meant they came.
They didn't come to our camp, but I still view that as, you know, going from MSNBC to Fox News is net net a positive thing.
Yes, but I thought you meant they was going to say, well, that's kind of pretty impressive that someone, a liberal boomer, is like Wignet.
Maybe.
I haven't spoken to him in a couple of months.
I'll have to check back into him.
But yeah, it was basically, you know, Maryland in particular.
A lot of what I saw when I was getting radicalized was Silver Spring, Maryland, and, you know, the Mexican invasion.
Sure.
Even in those cases, a big thing of moving those people is giving them the permission, right?
To be a certain way.
So giving people the permission to hire Hitler is an important part of reclaiming them.
And I don't care if you're whatever age you are and if you discovered this thing two days ago, that's better late than never.
Absolutely.
And just in my own case, I just know there's no hope for me and no point in me converting one of my parents to our worldview, even remotely.
Like this is not going to happen.
It's pissing up a tree.
The other one.
I'm going to make some progress.
I'm going to isolate that part where you said there's no hope for me.
Maybe true.
I was thinking about how, you know, my journey through the six-year anniversary.
There is no hope for old coach.
But yeah, thinking about how I have changed and my level of involvement and stuff like that and the failures and the disappointments and the people I trusted who I shouldn't or the excuses I made when I probably should have been a little bit more skunky, you know, all the negativity toward prominent people and stuff like that.
But what are we doing here?
We are speaking and teaching.
We're preaching to the choir for a good part of the audience.
But for other people out there, you can send this to, or they're just coming along now.
This is valuable information.
No BS, no self-congratulating about trying to get wealthier, being safer, raising bigger, healthy kids, and keeping them safe and not sticking your head in the sand on all this stuff that we have known for a decade or more.
Sam's known it for longer than me.
I've known it for longer than Rolo.
Yeah.
There's a whole continuum of people who have known it for a long time.
And there's a, you know, when you've known it for a long time, imagine all the guys from 1.0 are like, you know, are they significantly contributing now or they moved on with their lives?
I'm almost halfway there where it's like, okay, I have, you know, I've done my part.
I've done my duty.
And now it's time for me to just get on with my life and stop obsessing about things that are very intractable and difficult to control.
Not going to do that.
You know, there's something feels it.
Hatred feels right.
You know, it's the right thing to do.
It's the right thing to express, you know, hating the enemy, working against them.
It feels good.
It feels right.
It's important.
George Lincoln Rockwell said, without hatred for what you love.
Love is a word for cowards, communists, and hippies.
Oh, Bingo.
George Lincoln Rockwell was so brilliant.
I mean, you could go back and read and reread his stuff just like Hitler.
It's as valid today as the day it was written.
My dad went to one of his speeches as a curious onlooker or as a devotee.
I am unclear.
Can you get the scoop out of him or is he gone?
I can't remember.
He's mentally checked out.
Okay.
Interesting.
GLR, brilliant guy for sure.
Message your paps.
We got some nice feedback here.
Let's just, we'll talk until we don't want to talk anymore.
I don't feel like we need to take a break and then come back.
Nice note from the listener.
He says, been a hardcore listener, but I've been real busy.
My first son, for my first son, you guys did a new white life.
But we since have had another blue-eyed boy, our six-month-old rogue.
I think he put his name in there.
So I just called him a rogue.
I'm sure he's a six-month-old tottering around.
He's happy and healthy.
We recently moved from Massachusetts.
I guess at six months he's crawling.
He's not tottering around.
Yeah.
We recently moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina, and my family and I are loving it.
Massachusetts, interestingly, is like one of the most liberal, one of the most expensive states in the country.
God help a couple of our guys who still live there.
And my family and I are loving it.
Thank you guys for all that you do.
And that was from Bob.
He said, I could say Bob.
And then he followed up with an awesome photo of three generations of Chads, his father, himself, and his two boys on a piece of awesome farm equipment.
And it was not a human pile of African field hands with, you know, look like palm meadow trees in the background.
I had to look up what's the difference between palmetto and a palm tree.
It's their varietals.
It's like a smaller one.
They got down that part of the country.
I do love South Carolina, by the way.
Going down there was awesome.
Charleston, the swamps, and just the totally different feel that you have down there.
Not smart enough to say that South Carolina is the place or Kentucky, obviously, West Virginia, but you could probably do worse than South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, Warts, and Ladybugs and all.
Our pal, Lord Wolfshield and Lady, welcome there first.
And this is a big one.
One of the friendliest, positive, upbeat guys.
Did you know this, Sam?
I did know it, but I didn't know I had permission to announce it.
So I'm glad you're announcing it.
Because, yeah, yeah, great guy, great gal.
I've met him in person a couple times, and my wife is close with them in a few of their things.
And I was almost going to bring this up later.
Like, can we bring this up?
I know.
Great.
Great.
Absolutely.
Beautiful photo of the new baby sticking his or her tongue out.
I don't know if I deliberately forgot the gender if he didn't tell me it's okay.
And also, that's a really important one because they had been, I don't know if they're struggling or but trying for a long time for a while.
Yeah.
And made it happen.
Beautiful.
Great couple.
A great couple.
Congratulations.
And our pal Mac from Down Under was kind enough to let me know that they have their third on the way.
Way to go, Mac.
And he asked specifically for tips on, you know, managing the third.
Now, we've talked about this in the past.
It depends on the baby.
It depends on your situation in life.
I shared with him personally, and I've said on the show that our third was definitely the most difficult, disruptive, partially because he was a difficult baby, partially just because we were busy.
We had two others.
It was very stressful on my wife, including the delivery was the riskiest and scariest one of all.
So I told him, I wish that I had taken way more leave at the time.
I only took a week off.
I had plenty of time, but I was like, well, the responsible thing is to save that leave for later.
So, you know, depending on your situation, err on the side of staying home for longer, especially when you're having more kids, I would suggest to help.
That's a funny thing, coach, that has changed in more recent times because we've had guys at work or whatever, their wife has a child and they're out for a week or more.
And when I was having most of my children, at no time for any child did I take more than one day off.
I remember the day that my wife was going in, it was like, well, I'll go to work.
And then, you know, when she's ready to have it, it's like I took like a day and a half off of work.
That was the most I ever took off of work, which was common at that time.
You know, you just didn't take off a lot of time for that type of thing.
And just even the, I don't know, the sense of urgency or the tension or whatever it was, you just wouldn't take that much time away from your job just unless it was a scheduled vacation or something like that.
So I get it.
Times have changed.
And I'm not saying it was better, but I was just laughing with somebody a few weeks ago, actually, about that.
Like, yeah, when we were having children, you know, we didn't take like a day or two off.
Here's such and such a guy.
He was taking a whole week off or more than a week off.
So there were people who took a whole month off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, wow.
Okay.
Like, as the man, what are you doing during that time?
Actually, I understand there's like a certain amount of help that's like could be measured in minutes, maybe, you know, but like, okay, then, okay, you got that done.
Now what do you do?
You know, I just remember coming home from work on some of those days and wifey had the crazy eyes.
And I say, oh, boy, I better get right to helping.
And I'm not saying I'm right.
I know I'm a little bit like, you know, work a whole lot.
Yeah.
So, yeah, definitely if you could take time off with the wife and all that to, you know, that's the whole thing.
That's part of the problem with our people having children is they're like too conscientious.
Like, oh, well, I don't want to be a burden to people or, oh, it's going to be hard.
How am I going to do this and that?
Yeah.
When, you know, in a different day and age, a woman would have a child and the cousins and sisters and aunts and the mother and the grandmother even everyone would come to help, you know, and now there's no help.
And now everyone is working on multiple jobs.
Sorry, hey, I got my own life to.
That's exactly it.
And I went through that myself.
Like, you know, we could have really used some help and there was no help, you know?
And so if I, if you can take some time that I don't want to criticize it, you know, I'm looking at both sides like, I guess maybe I'm jealous.
Like, maybe I should have taken more time off.
And I see people taking a week or more off.
And it's, it's like, like, what the hell are you doing over there exactly?
Well, yeah, I took a week and I wish that I had taken a month.
And again, it really depends on the baby because our daughter was so easy.
She, you know, slept in the crib, would wake up smiling.
And our youngest just wanted to, if he wasn't being held, he was crying.
Yeah.
He was a total clinger.
And that does make it tougher.
And, you know, said previously, if there's ever a time in your life to not be trad and to suck it up buttercup and do some of the woman stuff around the house, it's when you have a new baby under the roof.
Don't be too proud to change those diapers, vacuum the floor, clean the bathroom, whatever you need to do.
Anything to anything to make it easier.
Anything that this is, this is the most important thing about life.
Those of us, we have careers, we have professions and this and that.
That's great.
But, you know, it's all to facilitate having a family and doing these things.
So definitely help, help the wife, help the mother, do the good thing that that we're trying to do, which is have families.
One definition of romance, true romance, is making your wife or husband's life easier or more enjoyable.
Yes, go for it, do it, especially since those women can be a little bit loony after delivering a baby sometimes.
Everything, the whole system yeah, no doubt springs springs flying loose, crazy eyes yeah, mood swings, and sleep deprivation too, not forget it.
Sore nipples, all big time.
Thank god we're, we were born men.
We got so much better.
For real, I have been on a movie binge.
Uh, not not a movie binge, but maybe every other night i've been popping on a movie.
Uh, my wife splurged for the HULU base subscription, which actually has great movies, compared to Apple Plus, which we get included in the package, which sucks.
Terrible, terrible selection of movies.
Speaking of Apple earlier, but I wanted to give my uh ranking.
These are big name movies, most of them new, and some of them I went back into the sex because I either had never seen them or uh, it had been so long I forgot about them.
So i'll go from worst to best.
I could not finish Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone, mid to late 90s.
So bad, that is so crazy.
You, you are, you are, you are in the forever awful club.
With that I know I got a lot of from uh, the Closed Circle, it I, I just couldn't do it.
It was campy.
Sandra Bullock was terrible.
The jokes were stupid.
I wasn't particularly impressed by the special effects.
I don't really like Sylvester Stallone.
Uh, I made it about halfway through and then I shut it off.
Did you ever see Demolition Man Sam?
No okay, I know, i'm aware I know what the movie is but yeah right, it's a great.
It's a great movie.
Okay, you watch it if you, if you can watch it for free.
I forget where I had it, but uh, I say it sucked.
Rollo loves it and a lot of our guys love it.
I, I don't get it.
Compared to Terminator 2, it's just like it's a little completely, it's like what's a better movie?
Terminator 2?
Well, Terminator 2 is the better movie because the visual effect.
They're different movies, they're about different things.
Yeah, they're different.
One is good, one is epic, one is atrocious.
Okay, I don't call a Terminator 2 atrocious that's, that's a hyperbolic.
Oh, I love Terminator 2 is easily top 10, but probably top five.
All right.
Next worst and it's really saying something was Gladiator 2.
Got to watch it for free, I forget, absolutely atrocious.
Uh pale, pale imitations.
You know, a lot of times when they make a second, make a sequel, it deviates too far from the first one.
This one was like they just carbon copied the script from the first one and, like you know, the fashion gay yeah, added blacks, oh yeah, Denzo Washington so stole every scene.
What he came across as?
Like a ghetto American, like inner city hustler, you know, transported back to ancient Rome.
That's what makes him cool, you know yeah yeah, bringing that, bringing that funk and the decapitated head into the uh, Roman senate.
Uh, the the Cgi was atrocious.
I was like, how do they spend a hundred million dollars and make bad Cgi?
Like, even bad movies make good Cgi.
Those like the navel scenes were just ridiculous.
Um, the guy sucked compared to uh Russell Crowe, whoever the uh was.
I stuck through it just out of curiosity.
And the the rhino in the Coliseum was kind of cool, I guess.
Yeah um, but there were some cool things.
It was like just, it was all right, I thought.
I mean, it's directed by a guy who's almost 90 years old.
Ridley Scott really pushing it.
Yeah, I think he's like 86 or something.
He's he's real old.
Did he do Prometheus or was he just involved in that?
No, he did Prometheus.
Because that Prometheus was a good movie.
Yeah, Prometheus is fine.
Yeah.
Rolo has strong feelings about Alien.
By the way, for the audience, Rolo and I and Mr. Pickle and Steve Dave, can I flag it?
We did a whole movie-length commentary of Alien Romulus in which I took the positive appreciating role.
rollo hated it uh head to toe and then we all hated it That's not been posted yet, though, right?
Not out yet.
Not yet.
Still in post.
Still in post.
I am a Final Storm listener.
It'll be out.
It was fun and challenged everyone to do a Mystery Science Theater 3000 commentary on every scene.
And it was really tough because the movie was mute.
We were simply going off the subtitles and the visuals, you know, muted the commentary or the actual narrative so that we weren't all completely scrambled up.
But if you're into that sort of thing, check it out soon.
There's Final Storm movie commentaries on Telegram.
I don't know if that's a secret or it's just, yeah, hasn't been advertised very much yet.
Anyway, moving on.
Last Voyage of the Demeter.
I'm always down for a good Dracula flick was not bad.
It was not as good as what's the one that just came out?
Robert Eggers.
Nos Ferratu.
Nasferatu, which was, you know, Demeter, Last Voyage of the Demeter is more like a classic Hollywood movie.
You know, it had its flaws.
It had the black guy, which I was able to overlook as the hero, but not terrible.
And Nasferatu was weird enough that I didn't totally love it.
Rolo, you enjoyed Nosferatu, but also had issues with it, right?
No, I mostly liked Nosferatu.
I don't have many issues, if any, with it.
I liked it all the way through.
It was refreshing to see a movie that was set in Eastern Europe that, or I guess it wasn't Eastern, I guess it was Germany, but that didn't have any blacks in it.
Yeah.
I mean, that was, I can't believe that even happened.
It was visually cool.
I just didn't, I just didn't love it.
It was just weird, like a lot of his movies are, like the Lighthouse, which is just bizarre.
I do not like any other of his movies.
I hate, hate.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
I hate the witch.
You fool.
We have the exact opposite taste.
It is such a piece of crap.
It's so awesome.
It's not boring and crap.
Shit.
People pretend it's good because some guy says, stupid girl, you're a dumb bitch, you whore, for no reason.
It's an hour and a half of a guy hating his daughter.
That's the whole movie.
It's a beautiful heartbreaking genius.
I didn't care for the witch, but I did like the lighthouse.
Oh, man.
I just think that.
Sam is somewhere in the middle.
The Bacchanal during the hurricane.
They're just like drinking their guts out of those.
And they're just like parting.
Yeah.
Like an old man's frat house.
And I did like, I like the original Nas Ferratu.
And I have the DVD of where Typo Negative does the soundtrack.
And it's the movie Nasferatu with typo negative songs.
And I did did like that, but I have not seen the new one, though I have heard it is good.
Yeah, it's worth it, Sam.
I think you'll definitely save it for October.
It is, it's, it's, it's good because it's like, it's genuinely a, a spooky movie.
Yeah.
It's too artistic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, it's, it's all about the atmosphere.
And there, there are plot holes and like some things that are dumb, but it's not about that.
And I hate Johnny Depp's daughter in it.
She's just really grated on me.
I didn't think she was particularly beautiful or compelling.
I don't know.
That was just.
I thought she was fine because she was playing someone that was mentally ill.
I mean, that was literally.
Yeah, that was what I took from it is she's just playing someone mentally ill.
So I'm like, yeah, whatever.
And that probably a mentally ill person would I act?
The guy who goes to visit Dracula is, I believe, the same guy who plays Robert J. Holt.
Yes, awesome.
Great actor.
He was really good in it and he was spectacular in, well, I'll just go to the order ranks higher in my list, but I really enjoyed the order, thought it was a perfectly competent film and did not go over the top with the anti-Nazi tropes.
I thought it was reasonably fair.
You know, somebody asked, oh, did they show him as a bunch of knuckle-dragging, you know, drunken morons?
No, absolutely not.
Seemed to be relatively true to form and lie.
I think it did lionize Bob Matthews to a certain extent.
Well, I don't know, Coach, if you listen to the Mannerbun dispatch program that I did on the order of the movie.
Not yet.
I have it in my save messages, though.
I'll listen to it tomorrow.
Yeah, I, you know, there were good things about it, but there were certain things that are just horrible about it.
And so when we did the review, I said, you know, the way they butchered his very famous speech in the movie, it really, you deserve, if you've never listened to it, to listen to the whole thing.
It's like 13 minutes.
I happen to have it on CD because it was recorded and put out some years after he actually made it.
And so I appended that to the end of the broadcast.
I mean, you know, so things like that really irritated me and certain unrealistic elements of the movie were ridiculous, like where he's they're shooting, they're shooting bottles, you know, they're, they're, they're cranking off rounds of a MAC 10.
They're using a MAC 10 to shoot bottles.
And then he's giving it to the child and they're, there they are, no hearing protection, you know, they're like putting it boom, boom.
You know, I remember when I was a teenager, I was with some guys and they were shooting guns and somebody had an AR-15 and they I said, hey, can I just shoot a couple rounds?
And for some reason, I didn't put my earmuffs on.
I just want to shoot a couple rounds.
And I squeeze the trigger and my ears were ringing so bad.
I was like dizzy from it.
So here they are.
The child has got the thing squeezing the trigger.
Bob Matthews' head's right up next to it.
They're shooting this.
Like there's no way.
There's just like so many unrealistic, ridiculous elements in the movie.
Like overall, like I thought it was, I didn't give, I couldn't give it a good thing, except that the reason to watch the movie would be like, I remember, remember in the late 70s, the first Superman movie.
You know, if you're a comic book fan, like I was when I was a kid, the first time that they made a movie, a big screen movie in color and everything with your superhero, of course you'd want to see it, good, bad, or otherwise.
You want to see your heroes come to life and people will want to see Bob Matthews and the other members of the order come to life.
But they didn't include the cool elements that could have been like, you know, like Gary Yarbrough when they were in the shootout.
And so he goes outside and he pretends like he's an FBI, like pointing his gun at the building, you know, and he like backs away and they let him get away because they thought he was like an FBI agent or something.
Okay.
No, it was more personal for you.
You know more than I did.
Yep.
Sure.
Yeah.
So the speech that he gives in the church is the one, the real one is the one where you're 5,000 hearts.
Yeah.
You know, you got to hear the way he really delivers that with the context and everything.
And if you listen to the Mannerbun Dispatch, I play the whole thing at the end.
So definitely check that out.
Stryker liked a two-rollo.
So you haven't seen it.
He hasn't seen it yet.
Yeah.
No.
But appropriately, the guy who plays Bob Matthews is Lex Luther in the new Superman movie.
There you go.
And he was good in that.
But you know what was good about the movie is the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, which they feature a lot in the movie.
So, you know, there are good things about the movie.
I give it like a mixed review.
Yeah.
It could have been so much worse.
The FBI was good guys.
They were flawed.
The order was flawed as it was.
And ultimately, Bob Matthews, I thought, comes across as heroic.
Likable.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And he was.
He absolutely was.
Yep.
I watched Anora much to my chagrin, which was the Academy Awards winner for best film of 2024 about the basically Jewish hua in New York City and her adventures with a Russian.
I couldn't resist the Russian subtext there.
It was a very strange film.
Obviously, it was, don't have it on anywhere near a kid, you know, sex and gratuity and drugs throughout.
And it was, I couldn't believe that it won best film because at a certain point.
Well, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Fair, fair.
All right.
All right.
It shouldn't have.
It was certainly not the best film.
It wasn't the best movie of the year.
Yeah.
Because at a certain point, it's just this ridiculous like series of events and it just keeps going.
I'm like, is this, is this still going?
They're still hunting for the like drunk Russian oligarchs kid in New York City, but kind of wild there.
And there's a Russian guy who plays the tough guy who's supposed to be like an enforcer, who I thought stole the entire movie.
Handsome, likable.
You know, he's supposed to be this grug meathead, and he's the sensitive one who kind of feels sorry for the girl getting totally abused by this oligarch family, you know, forced to defuse the playboy.
Yeah, I'm gay for whatever Russian guy.
Apparently he's a semi-famous Russian actor.
The parents were actual Russian actors.
I was calling the character.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
But he stole the movie, in my opinion.
And if I had to look at that hideous Jewess's face for one more minute, I was going to be sick.
It's so repulsive.
They could have done a way better casting job than Billy Madison or whatever the hell her name is.
Billy Island?
No, it's Madison.
She has a Jewish name.
Madison Grant.
Madison Grant.
I don't know.
Look it up.
Mickey Madison.
I think that maybe that's it.
Conclave, Sam, with the Pope and the death of a Pope.
Yeah.
And the election to go on with that was beautifully shocked.
Totally technically apt film with, I won't give a spoiler, the most ludicrous over-the-top ending that will have Sam reaching for the gut.
If you will get murderous at the end of Conclave, I assume you haven't seen it yet.
I have not seen it.
I heard about it.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
I mean, absolutely spectacular.
You know, the pageantry and the sort of look inside the Vatican.
No idea if it's fairly true to form or completely fictional, uh, but it was a well-done movie with the most lib-tarted ending I've seen in a long time.
That's how propaganda works.
Yes, it is so.
So I think I literally started laughing at the end.
I was like, You've got to be kidding me.
You just dragged me through this whole thing only to dump that on us.
Uh, you know, don't pay for it for sure.
You can get it for free.
Lots of Latin.
You need the subtitles.
Absolutely.
Uh, Furiosa, Mad Max, middle, middle of the pack.
Uh, Far Cry from Fury Road for sure.
Uh, and which is worse than the other three.
No, no, Fury Road is awesome.
I love garbage.
It's so gay.
I re-watched it.
I was so into that.
I was the only person on the planet that was excited for a new Mad Max movie.
And when it came out, it was so awesome.
And then I rewatched it.
I was like, this is so bad.
You know, Tom Hardy in that movie was my avatar on Twitter for a long time.
I just thought.
Oh, you oh, wait, wait, was Tom Hardy in that movie?
I thought it was a bunch of women that just beat the shit out of men with no opposition until one old woman gets shot in the end.
It's it's so bad.
When you go, you go back and watch it, you realize Max is like he has his thumb up his ass the whole movie.
And the one time he does something, it's off screen.
The only time he's like, he's like, I'll go.
And then he walks off screen and he comes back with like blood on him.
I'm like, cool, that's that's great.
I'm glad we got to see 67-year-old Charlie Sthern kicking everybody's ass for the rest of this movie.
I think we literally have diametrically opposite tastes.
I think you're literally, I think you have a diametric.
Look, I'm just looking for a good time.
I'm not looking to psychoanalyze.
If you want a good time, go get a prostitute.
Don't come at me with this garbage.
Team up with Wolfshield and make a movie.
All right, Rolo, if you're Mr. Film School.
I've made movies.
Good thing.
Well, speaking of movies, you know, R.I.P. Val Kilmer.
And that was the next one.
Tombstone.
Tombstone.
You know, I had heard about this movie.
Like, this is something I should watch.
And now that he died, it was talked about because there's the famous scene where they're insulting each other in Latin, you know.
And I thought, okay, I got to watch this.
So I was actually at my son's place over the weekend and I said that let's watch Tombstone.
It is a great movie and worth watching for sure.
Totally agree.
Yes, Val Kilmer steals the show.
Yeah.
Kurt Rossetta.
Val Kilmer doesn't even steal the show just because everyone is so good in it.
It's Neil Trump.
Star studded.
Okay.
First one we all coming with me.
You hear me?
Hell's coming with me.
Little Bob Thornton and Bill Paxton.
Shutting on your mind.
Jason Priestley.
Yeah.
Where was Jason Priestley?
Oscar Nomo.
He was kind of, yeah, I think that was probably his major movie.
Damn it.
It's like playing with my brother's kids or something.
Upload that cigar in my face.
Shutting on your mind.
Go.
So many.
Yeah.
I'm your Huckleberry.
I got two guns, one for each of you.
One for each, he just looks sick and sicker throughout the whole film.
It's all put together.
Somebody, somebody created some, and I dug.
I had to look up Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday because I didn't know too much about them.
And Doc Holiday in real life had a falling out with Wyatt Earp because he called Wyatt Earp a Jew.
You're turning into a Jew boy there, Wyatt Earp, because Wyatt Earp's love interest was a Jewess.
And apparently, he was like staying with some wealthy Jew in New Mexico and tapping the Methuselah or whatever, the little scroll on the door.
Now, hey, now, okay, Goldie Han is only a Converso because she married a Jew.
Okay.
Yeah, good point.
Yeah, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hahn.
But yeah, Tombstone was a rollicking good time.
It did have like five different endings.
Like the critiques of it are valid, but beautiful Western.
And they really did go to extreme lengths to present it accurately, at least in terms of the costumes and the guns and stuff.
Yeah.
Maybe Polka's not your game.
Not to get too doxy, Rolo, but you know, my wife and I joke, like we've seen probably 10 different actors.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to say, when I am sick, I am.
You look like Val Kilmer in that film.
The little wispy, you know, I won't get too detailed, but yeah, good luck, Antifa.
Go hunting for a guy who looks like Val Kilmer.
Oh, yeah.
Like when I'm sick, I am the spitting image of Doc Holiday.
But I swear to God, there's 10 different, like from a comedian to an actor to even a video game character from Final Fantasy.
I'm like, yes, he does.
He does look like Roloff, whatever that means.
Well, did you see that picture?
With the cartoon Nazis, like one of those looked exactly like me.
I don't know what that says about your look, Rolo, but it's not bad.
It's not like, oh, hey, look at that retarded ugly.
He said, I don't look like Big Ed from 90 Day Fiancé.
Yeah.
Oh, I just, you know, I look like a Val Kilmer with tuberculosis.
And then I had only when I have tuberculosis, though, I.
I was disappointed.
I dusted off Willow, which I, in my mind, I loved as a kid.
I felt like I watched it five times and totally ate up the midgets running around and Mad Mart again and the short fights and stuff like that.
And then as we went along, I realized, you know, I never saw the second half of this movie.
So as a kid, I was like watching the first half and then I was like, oh, it's time to go play or it's time to go to bed or whatever.
And Willow's was pretty terrible re-watching.
Not even going to knock it for special effects or whatever, you know, the late 80s, mid-80s was a time of fantasy films.
Maybe 80, whatever it was, late 80s for sure.
But the kids did not enjoy it.
I did not particularly enjoy it.
I don't know what I was thinking when I was seven or eight years old.
Just wasn't that good.
Val Kilmer is cool.
The special effects are kind of cheesy.
The ending is ludicrous.
And I literally had never made it through.
I sort of gaslit myself and told myself that I loved Willow as a kid and then realized I never finished it.
Rounding this out and bringing it to a close, my top two films that I have binged on in the past month or two, Iron Claw and Dune 2.
Love them both for different reasons.
Wow.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
And I did like both Dune movies I liked very much, but Zundaya is horrible.
Totally agree.
Despite her, that's how good the movie is.
Even with her and it's still so spectacular.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just a feast for the senses, right?
It's so spectacular.
Especially if you grew up reading the Dune novels as I did.
You got to love those movies.
So much better than David Lynch's weird creation.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, no, definitely better.
Just because of the feel and it presents the whole, like the book, when you read it, it's presenting such a whole world where everything is so different, you know, like it's, it's hard.
And this movie creates that world, you know, that's what's good about it.
Absolutely.
And Iron Claw, I just was heartbreaking.
I was compelled.
Yeah, I watched that one as well.
It's good in a way, but like there's, there's a movie some years ago that was just like a documentary about the whole whole family and everything that is actually better.
But, you know, the whole story is has so much pathos to it that you can appreciate it on that level.
Yep.
And Rolo didn't particularly or had major issues with both.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't see Dune.
You still haven't seen it.
Oh, yeah.
You're just boycotting it because of Zendaya.
Yeah.
I'm tired.
I've seen enough of her face for my life.
Honestly, that's actually like valid.
You know, she's so bad, but the movie is good anyways.
That's all.
Do you think I didn't think she was necessarily a bad actress in it?
It was just she is a very like serviceable actress.
Yeah, like that's it.
Well, she's not attractive, first of all.
She brings this nigger attitude like, yeah, well, you know, I'm this, you know, frizz his hair further.
Yeah.
And it would be, it would be one thing if she was like a really, really good actress.
Where, okay, I understand why they put her in so much stuff, but there's better actresses that are actually attractive.
Absolutely.
Yep.
So on those two, it was just the visual spectacle of Dune 2 and the story of Iron Claw being so heartbreaking.
I just didn't like that the Iron Claw did not have an ending.
That was my problem with it.
It's act one, Act Two, and then it just stops.
It doesn't have like a third act resolution where people learned a lesson and then like, what, like, what's the takeaway?
It just, it just, the credits rolled.
I was like, oh, that's weird.
I didn't like the casting of it either.
You know, they're a little bit off with the brothers.
No, for sure.
But just because I knew the real story, like I was able to appreciate it.
Zach Efron, I thought, was excellent at it too.
He did a really good job.
Yeah.
He was really good at taking a lot of steroids.
I gave him that.
For sure.
I know.
He's massive and the other one's not so much.
And then you look back and the Texas Tornado was the biggest one of them all with his half foot.
And instead, he's the little Jew boy in the film.
So I would recommend Dune 2, Iron Claw, Tombstone, and the Order for sure, lower down on the spectacle, Furiosa, and Conclave.
And then I think you could skip Gladiator 2.
How are you recommending Conclave with what you told me about it?
Because again, because you don't know how ludicrous it's going to be until the end.
And then Ralph Rafe Fiennes is a wonderful actor and it's just beautifully shot.
And, you know, the Vatican is cool and like inside the Vatican is cool.
And no, if you're a true Catholic, it might be more offensive than you can tolerate by the end for sure, but maybe throughout.
I don't know.
It didn't seem too bad until the end.
That's all I got.
We are in insect hell here.
The flies have reawakened only to be frozen.
So I've got those bags.
I had to consult with the Brain Trust if there's anything I'm missing.
I've had an outdoor bug zapper before, but I felt like it was just frying poor harmless moths more than anything else.
So I gave up on that.
And now I just do the disposable fly bags far, you know, far enough from the house that you can't smell the bug death in there, but close enough that it will hopefully attract the flies away from the house.
But I swear, if you open, I don't think it's just a West Virginia thing or just my property thing.
It's probably in the country in this part that it happens, but it's just insect.
It makes me wish for the winter a little bit because if you creep in between the screen and the window, if you open the back door, they come swarming in.
I probably swatted about 10.
I've got a little bug zapper here on top of the china cabinet as tacky as that is, but just had to do it.
I keep it pretty clean up there.
So that sucks.
And we are going to do a gardening show next week, next Sunday, because I'm just going to suck it up and my pride and all that.
And we do have two more real freezes coming.
And then I'm going to go and clean out the greenhouse, get those pots ready and plant some tomatoes and whatever else tickles my fancy.
Well, the thing is with the garden show, you know, that is what got me and my family into gardening was, you know, the good advice for the reluctant.
And so this, you know, your reluctance, coach, is coming from, you know, what you've been through and this and that, but maybe you need to hear like a new pep talk for me.
Yeah, new pep talk, new evangelization to get you to start back with something modest.
Yeah, why do I always have to do the pep talks?
Yeah, where's my pep talk?
Right.
We give we give them to you off air.
I don't know if I want to do a show today.
I told the guys before the show, I was, you know, it's Sunday night here.
It's been raining all day long.
I was just like, oh, I'm worried, but I rise to the occasion most of the time.
And yeah, I just can't contemplate.
When I stop and think about it, I was like, there's no way that I'm not, you know, planting potatoes and doing some tomatoes and cucumbers.
For something.
For something.
But I'm glad that I, it's not too, it's not too late, April 7th now.
And it's going down to high 20s a couple nights this week.
And I'm glad they don't have to, you know, sweat worrying about the plants freezing in the greenhouse and having to run a heater out there.
That's that.
And major breaking news, something that makes my heart sing is that our youngest potato is finally growing out of his picky eater phase.
In the past couple of days, he's accepted scrambled eggs.
He ate a good amount of his steak tonight.
And I said, you finish that steak.
You can have all the buttery rice you want.
So he finished the steak and then he piled on the rice.
He's less skinny than he used to be because there was a time where my wife and I were like, he's too skinny.
You know, wait, you can have all anything goes just to get calories in him.
And what do you know, Sam?
You know, he's six now.
He's a little more mature.
And he says, he said, Dad, yeah, look at how good it's like he wants the accolades.
So whether he's trying to make us happy or his palate is mature enough to handle some real people food now, pork chop steak, it's all happening.
And he's eating buns.
You know, he can have a hot dog on a bun.
It doesn't have to cut him up like a little kid anymore.
Well, this is like we've said on the show before, you know, this is something that parents agonize about, you know, getting their children to finish their food or eat the right things and all that.
And I think weird out wrote a song about it.
More harm than good can be done by pushing your children too hard.
And, you know, mealtime is supposed to be a happy time.
And, you know, you show by example, you know, you show how much we, you know, we enjoy having these things and eventually they'll come around, you know, just be patient.
Yep.
I have lost my temper at the dinner table more than once over the years in a frustration with picky eaters.
I can't say I'm super not proud, but you know, this is like a human reaction to pure frustration and trying to get your kids to be healthy.
Um, but I should not have lost my temper a couple times just because they're kids, yeah, stupid little kids.
Then they're going to be afraid of you then, you know, and that's you don't want that.
Yeah, not at the dinner table.
You're absolutely right.
A little bit of patience is what I should have expected.
You know, it finally happened.
It's not like I did some magic trick.
It was just like, yeah, I'll take it.
They'll come around.
And Limp Biscuit is the greatest band of the 90s.
So if I, if I picked the limpisk, Rollo would probably revolt.
He wouldn't, if I picked the Limp Biscuit song to close out the show, he probably wouldn't do it.
I'd have to, I don't know.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, pick a Limp Biscuit song.
See what happens.
No, no, no, no.
I'm wise enough now.
I don't want to play with fire.
That's been okay.
I love that, Dan.
I dare you.
Warriors run with this.
Please no more producer changes.
In the early years, that was a little stressful.
Gaining and losing, regaining a producer.
Thank you.
No, no, BS.
Sam Rollo, anything in your stacks?
It's midnight, 1203 here in the Mountain Mama, but I could go a little bit longer.
That's what he said.
If you got anything more, we can wrap it.
That's what he said.
I don't have anything more right now.
Good deal.
Go ahead.
Well, I so I started a new show.
It's Tuesdays, 8 p.m. Eastern time, of course, with my dear friend Bobby.
It's called Based and Confused.
It's just, it's just a fun show.
We do funny stuff.
We don't talk politics.
We just find things to laugh at.
And the first episode, I would say, went off without a hitch.
The second episode had a slew of multiple technical issues.
So it took an hour to get started, but we figured out both of their separate issues.
We figured them all out.
So that won't happen again.
So yeah, we're live Odyssey 8 p.m. Eastern, based and confused.
What are you confused about?
Everything.
Are you kidding me?
What aren't you confused about?
Fair enough.
You were confused that Anora won an Oscar.
True.
Everyone's confused.
Yeah.
I should have known.
Nobody should be confused when their kid gets stabbed in the heart at a track meet.
Nobody should be confused when the market drops.
And well, I'm confused that people are confused by that.
That's what confuses me.
Yep.
Nothing new on the sun.
Exactly.
Everyone's just confused.
And we're all here to just help you laugh.
And it is funny.
Gotten good feedback.
It's good stuff.
Covered the black astronauts.
She.
Yeah.
It was cool.
The other night I looked up at the moon.
It was probably eight o'clock, you know, early evening, and you could very clearly see the little red dot to the bottom right of the moon, which presumably you could probably see it for the next couple of nights.
It was cool to take the kids out and say, yep, there's Mars.
That's where Alan is aiming for, whether he gets there or not.
I don't know.
One final thought.
I have a good pal who's going through a hard time in life.
And his WN dissident friends and networks have totally, for the most part, come through to help him through that hard time.
I won't say anything other than that, but just a reminder that you should absolutely cultivate your, you're going to have some stickers in this thing, some flakes, maybe even some backstabbers or some traitors.
But you know, probably by now who the true ones are, who the reliable ones are, who will be by you through thick and thin.
And I'm very proud to have been a little part of that and that others stepped up as well for sure.
And it reminded me of the importance of this, that this is not all fake play acting, LARPing 1930s.
But when you, there's something stronger and more powerful when you have a true friendship that is not just based on palling around and grilling and sports and having a good time, but is ideological as well, because it was simply not an option not to be a helping hand for a comrade in need.
Right?
End of story.
Don't lose sight of that, despite the ups and downs of everything that goes on with us and the thing over the many years by now.
Well, fam, let's wrap this sucker.
And I'm a little bit of a sucker for female pop on occasion.
We haven't done this in a long time.
I think some of the ones that I've curated have been good.
I wanted to use this song when we had Laritz on.
It's not exactly Norwegian, but it's Danish.
It's a little gal named Mo.
And this one's called Final Song.
This is certainly not our final song, but it did make me think that that would be a kind of a funny reference.
I just think it's a really great and catchy tune.
I don't know if she's a lefty or a race mixer or whatever.
I have no idea.
Simply for the music from Denmark.
Mo and final song.
We love you.
And we'll talk to you next week.
And I can't even remember now.
Have I given Rolo too many Sias or Sam too many Sias?
Sam, it's yours.
I think it's your turn.
What?
What, Rolo?
I was going to say, I think it's you.
I think you haven't had enough.
Well, you know, I'm always greedy and I'll say Sia, you know, after what you guys say.
So, all right, fine.
Take it out.
We love you, fam.
We'll talk to you next week for a gardening dust off.
Hopefully not a dust up, but a dust off.
And see ya.
See ya.
Won't you stay?
At least on till the song goes down.
When you're gone, I lose faith.
I lose everything I have found.
Heartstrings, violence.
That's what I hear when you're by my side.
Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by myself Don't let this be our final song.
Don't let this be our final song.
Don't hear me out before you say the night is over.
I want you to know that we gotta get carry on.
Don't let this be our final song.
Baby, when we were young, there was nothing to make believe.
And the songs that we sang, they were written for you and me.
Melodies on repeat, that's what I hear when you're by my side.
That's what I hear when you're by my side.
When you call the music, oh, I lose my rhythm, lose my soul, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So hear me out before you say the night is over.
I want you to know all that.
We gotta get a carry on.
Don't let this be our final song.
So don't let this be our final song.
Don't hear me out before you say the light is over.
I want you to know all that.
We gotta get a carry on.
So don't let this be our final song.
Ooh, take us to a higher ground.
Here and now.
Whatever you do, just don't know how.
Ooh.
Underneath the district.
It's alright.
We gon' make a perfect sound.
We gon' make the perfect sound.
But when you call the music, oh, I lose my rhythm, lose my soul.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So hear me out before you say the night is over.
I want you to know all that.
We gotta get a carry on.
So don't let this be our final song.
So don't let this be our final song.
Don't hear me out before you say the light is over.
