We were all set to record tonight with a living legend for another expertly crafted interview, but he had to postpone relatively last minute due to a state-mandated civic duty.
I won't name and shame here, but it would have been his fifth appearance on Full House, and he lives very far away.
A total mystery for you to ponder this week.
And of course, it's all good.
We'll get him rescheduled as soon as possible.
So we're calling an Audible this week and flying by the seat of our pants on this, the winter solstice 2025.
It's all sunnier from here on, boys, and with the joys of Christmas inbound in just a few short days.
And season's greetings too, to our biggest fans at the I Don't Speak German Antifoot Podcast.
We see you there listening every episode.
At least now we know.
We're grateful for the belated clip show that you put together in which our producers have been woefully lacking in recent years.
And we would like to extend a formal invitation to you two leftist knuckleheads to come on Full House and have a substantive discussion about the myriad issues that you picked apart in our hundreds of hours over the past six, almost seven years.
So in the spirit of the season, Mr. Producer, hit it.
Welcome, everyone, to Full House.
I am serious, by the way, the world's finest show for White Fathers, Aspiring Ones, and the whole family.
It's episode 219 here on December 21st, 2025.
And I am your semi-jolly host, Coach Finstock, with a total grab bag of content here under the circumstances.
I was telling Rolo before Sam came on.
I was like, God, I want to do it.
You know, I was kind of amped for the Tom interview.
Oh, there I go.
I spoiled it so much for that mystery.
And then I was like, I guess, all right, Christmas is coming and all the other stuff that we could talk about, but we'll do it.
We'll do it right.
Before we get down to business, though, massive thanks to Ted, Green Goblin, Charles, Johnny, and the White Stag Athletic Club for their generous support of the show since last time.
You know, we've given you a lot over the years.
That's not to those guys.
It's to all of you out there.
So if you want to give back this time of year, the best way to do it is givesendgo.com slash fullhouse if you got some spare scratch laying about.
And after all that, let's get cracking.
First up, he's got twinkling blue eyes, perhaps a minor paunch, and the biggest Christmas spirit of all of us, if any of us is closest to St. Nicholas, it's him, unquestionably.
And as I look to my right, I've got a beautiful card of St. Michael the Archangel, Archangel on my refrigerator.
Sam, thank you and welcome back.
Oh, hey, Coach.
It's great to be here.
And Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
It's good to be all here together.
Yeah, it is tricky sometimes to make these podcasts happen.
It maybe seems like it should just be automatic to somebody else.
But, you know, we all have families and things going on.
And it's good to be back.
But I wanted to make a belated congratulations to Namibian politician Adolf Hitler, who was elected to a fifth term, apparently, To counselor and so uh, you know, congratulations to him.
Was Namibia one of the German colonies?
I know?
Yeah apparently okay yeah, Angola was Portuguese.
It's hard to keep him straight sometimes, but yeah, lasting legacy there.
Well, the way the information was is like, well, Hitler's like actually not that unusual of a German name and neither is Adolf, and it just kind of happened that way.
And there you go, I splurged.
I was really debating this one, Sam, but I splurged on the audio book of In the Garden of Beasts by Eric Larson, which is a, you know, it's not historical fiction, whatever, but it's a stylized history of the American ambassador Dodd, who goes over there with his wife and his frankly whorish daughter right in 1933 after Hitler had become chancellor.
And so far it's pretty good.
You know, because I didn't expect it to be glowing about the Nazis, of course.
I just wanted it to be, you know, I can handle some backhanded comments about anti-Semitism, but I was just fascinated because his prior books that I've read, Devil and the White City in particular, were good.
So that's my next project, speaking of Hitler and Namibia and politicians.
But it's too soon to tell.
We're still in the early days of that.
But yeah, sort of like with the fatigue.
I'm into audio books a lot more now after putting them down for many, many years as like a cheap way to read a book.
How is the spirit in your house and in life and anything else here at the top, buddy?
Yeah, good.
You know, I alluded to a topic we could take up is the joy and the melancholy of Christmas.
I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this, but there's something about this time of year and you'll hear people say part of it, at least out loud, that, oh my gosh, it's already Christmas.
Where's the time going?
Oh, it's so fast.
And really, it's just, there's so many things happening at the same time.
It's the end of the year.
So maybe it's your work.
Your work has got you doing things.
I know in my place of business, there's a lot of things that have got to happen.
It's just like when the end of the month is coming, but now it's the end of the year and the end of the month.
So there's a mad rush to get things done.
There's fewer days in the month to get things done.
If you heard, Trump has made December 24th, 25th, 26th all federal holidays.
So there's less days to get the things done that are all rushing on at the end of the year.
You got Christmas, you got New Year's.
If you're in school, you got final exams.
If you can remember back to those days, coach.
And then because it's the end of the year, you can't help but make a little mental recollection of what's going on in the year, the good and the bad.
And for me, it certainly has been a lot of challenges this year.
You know, my one and only grandson was born and died nine days later because he was too premature.
That's the first time you've mentioned that on the show, I think, Sam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, had some surgery.
We talked about that.
And so there were a lot of, you know, my mother talked about putting her in a nursing home and things.
So there was a lot of difficult things, but also it's, there were a lot of good things of accomplishing certain goals, getting out of debt, getting financially, you know, getting things right.
And I lost.
Selling some Bitcoin right at the top there.
Oh, yeah.
I bought some right when it was low and I sold it right when it was the highest it ever was.
I, you know, I can't claim to be that smart, but I certainly did make two good decisions there.
And so it's, you know, and just the whole year, especially if you think on the global scale, I was just talking to some people, you know, in this last few weeks, how violent the world feels.
And so all of that's happening, whether you got it all right there in the front of your mind or it's something maybe underneath subconscious even, but all these things have got everybody.
all twisted up, you know, and it's the end of the year.
I feel kind of surly myself, to be honest, you know, I mean, it's supposed to be a season of joy and peace, which there is.
You're supposed to be happy.
You're supposed to be happy.
I'm looking at this beautiful Christmas tree in front of me with all the ornaments on it.
And I can't say that I feel a joyous spirit bubbling out from my core.
But yeah.
Well, I do, but it's like a complicated thing.
It's not all one or the other, but certainly the sense of everything rushing in at the end is there.
I did break tradition with, I've always bragged about having a real tree that I go out and because I always get it at late season.
I have often got the tree for free or for five bucks or something like that.
But, you know, treats that have gotten more expensive in the last couple of years anyways.
And I found an artificial one that was a good price, you know, because these are expensive too.
If you go in a nice store and you pick out a nice looking artificial tree.
A couple hundred bucks for a plastic tree.
It might be $350.
Easy.
But I found this one.
It was under $100 and it was what they call a pencil tree, which is the base is much smaller, you know, so the thing is very, very narrow, but tall.
And, you know, I don't have a lot of space.
So I said, hey, let's get that because it's save a little bit of space.
And the price was right.
And, you know, so that's what I did.
And yeah, it's all set up.
I got the train track going around the tree.
And so, yeah, it's been good so far.
It's very good.
Well, that was a nice flex on Rolo, too.
You really possess that opening there to delay him.
And yeah, just today I was like looking like, you know, school's off for the entire, the kids are off for well over two weeks.
It's like 16 straight days.
I'm already looking at them like, we gotta crack the whip too many video games.
We'll talk about that too.
But let's go to our other good friend here who's keeping us together at the control panel.
Sam and I are actually in our full house hoodies by coincidence.
And at least he's not working he's not wearing his Hugh Hefner robe.
I have refrained from inquiring about his developing or developmental romance because I'm afraid of jinxing it.
And I still am, knock on wood, but Rolo, more or less, all is fair and all is good and love and not war.
Things could not be better.
Okay.
I thought that was the case, but it has, I don't want to ask yet.
We actually exchanged Christmas gifts yesterday because we're going to Montana.
Well, we're going to Montana to see her family for Christmas.
Okay.
And we didn't want to, well, she wanted to bring the gifts.
And I said, no, no, no.
Like, we're not packing stuff for us when it's limited.
A little weird.
Yeah.
And the things that she got me, oh boy, like I got her something very nice and a Twilight lunchbox because it's a running joke with Twilight.
And she asked me what I wanted for Christmas.
And I was like, I don't know.
I don't really care.
And then I thought of something.
I was like, you know what?
I thought of something I wanted.
And it was like this random Iron Maiden thing that I saw.
And it was like, it was like, it was like $5.
And I was like, yeah, that'd be a fun gift.
And then she's like, well, I already got you your gift.
I'm like, oh, okay.
She probably spent like $400 on me.
I couldn't believe it.
I was going to ask her for five bucks.
Yeah, it was crazy.
I have no idea.
Yeah.
Well, before I pivot back to myself selfishly, have you met her parents?
Yep.
I met her mom.
Okay.
So you're going and you're meeting them both together on their turf for the first time.
Not on their turf.
Her family's just going.
We're going to an aunt's.
Gotcha.
I'm already nervous.
And they're going to be there.
Nope.
Or okay.
I don't get nervous unless a cop pulls me over.
Good for you.
I mean, you know, it's the stereotypical.
I know movies always make a big deal about going home and meeting the parent.
I've been watching Landman and watching the white boy go to meet his Mexican girlfriend/slash fiancé's sort of gangbanger father with the pit bullets.
It's basically it's trash TV, but allow me, allow me one little joy anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We watched Christmas Vacation last night and she had never seen it.
So there's that.
Like it can't get worse than that as far as meeting a family goes.
I keep offering them.
There's a really good, I don't know if we've ever mentioned it on the show, but there's a movie.
It's not a Christmas story, the famous one that I love, of course, set in Indiana and, you know, the Chinese restaurant and all that, but it's a German film called Christmas Story or The Christmas Story or whatever.
Really surprisingly touching.
It was my son who recommended it.
And I was like, okay, a German language Christmas movie dubbed over.
But it was really good.
It was, I watched the entire thing.
I was engaged.
It was, you know, more or less faithful to the spirit and everything about the origins of St. Nicholas.
Really enjoyed it.
So by the time this is out tomorrow, Monday, there's still time to check it out.
And I think it was free on Tubi or Pluto or whatever the hell it was.
So consider that.
Sam did not putting Christmas just off to the side for a second.
I am a total solstice enthusiast.
If there's one thing that made me happy today, it was the idea that today is the shortest day of the year and we are pivoting back toward the sun.
I think it was my daughter who said, well, if we're already like getting longer and longer days, December 21st should be the first day of spring.
You know, because now we're like, I kind of see your logic, but it's going to be cold for another two months at least there, toots.
But Rolo and I, Rolo and I listened out of curiosity.
A friend flagged it for us that it's basically two Antifa guys who review so-called extremist, far right-wing or white nationalist content.
I was familiar with them for one or two back in the day.
It's a little bit like a popcorn thing to hear what the enemy is saying about you.
So Rolo and I listened to it.
Sam did not.
Total flex on his part.
Although Sam, of course, is like their favorite Sam.
They complimented your beer taste.
Terry Sam.
Limousine Antifa with the snobby beer taste.
They were dumping on Coach and Miller Light.
I'm drinking green tea tonight.
Is that a teacher?
I bet you're drinking leptin green tea.
Kirkland's signature.
I am drinking ye old gods from Three Floyds.
Ye old gods, Sassan.
Yeah.
They said Three Floyds is passe, though, Sam.
It used to be good, but it's really fallen off.
No, I know.
I have some beer geek friends or whatever.
No, I understand.
Yeah, it was the craft beer thing is like, it's a very, you know, what's hot now and what's in, what's out.
I just like to have a beer once in a while.
That's it.
And I like their stuff.
That's it.
Fair enough.
And the other one that had me laughing is they've essentially said Sam is a man who desperately loves to get down to using euphemism there.
And I was like, all right, yeah, credit we're due.
Yeah, in that department, I'm still on the comeback trail, you know.
Sure.
Yeah.
Understood.
You know, if you want to listen to it, go ahead.
I don't think it's actually necessarily endorsement worthy in terms of enlightening or entertaining.
I just found it funny that they took the time to do it and I almost had to tip my fedora.
However, Rolo, true to form, was absolutely animated and agitated by it.
But go ahead, Sam.
You had a fun point.
Yeah, I mean, it is funny.
I mean, I don't, you know, are they expecting that some kind of seething, hateful people that are, you know, I mean, I think we have reasoned views and good evidence and motivation for where we stand.
And, you know, that's it, really, right?
You know, if somebody's hoping to hear like a, you know, like a blood tribe, you know, event, it's not like that, you know, you know, and even they're not like that, except when they're at their, at their rally or whatever.
And then it's, you know, it's all balls out like that.
It's funny.
It's funny that you mentioned that, Sam, because that was my one anxiety listening to it is because you never know over hundreds of hours of audio over six and a half, almost seven years.
And, you know, sometimes doing this late into the night, sometimes having several beers over the course of hours.
Did I say something?
You know, can't I stupid or a little too fedposty or nothing?
And there really wasn't anything like that.
The only thing thematically that they had was like a general haughty mockery, ironically, you know, it was like they were the mandarins of an ivory tower critiquing some of this stuff.
Now, you know, and I, yeah, from beer to this or that.
But Rolo, the one thing that, you know, Rolo was basically apoplectic about the entire thing.
The one that knocked me over with a feather was that, you know, they excerpted Rollo saying that, you know, kids are indoctrinated on leftist communist college campuses.
And they were like, the idea that these college professors are all Marxist-Leninists is stupid.
It's like, okay, now you're, you know, like, yeah, they all have to be card-carrying solanists to, yeah.
They followed that up by saying, well, well, maybe those kids just know more.
Take their kids.
They don't know anything.
They're just parroting their college professors who clearly have a leftist Marxist agenda.
Many of them very openly.
Yeah.
And not only Marxist, but anti-white.
Well, they blame the white people for all the problems.
That's how they Marxists.
Right.
Yeah.
I was on a college campus in Washington from 99 to 2003.
And then again from 2009 to 2012, whenever I did my master's, whatever those years were.
And yeah, you'll never, you'll never tell me unless you're going to like Liberty University, right?
Or some of the other ones.
Hillsdale.
Yeah, of course.
Yes, it is an entirely, like most of the country, like most of the media is an overwhelmingly leftist, liberal, anti-white, anti-male.
Back then, it wasn't quite so obvious, but it was still apparent.
And the one thing that was, I guess, substantively most interesting was those like antiphotypes have to be anti-Israel, more or less, right?
Because they're colonizers, because the genocide against the Palestinians, but they can't be anti-Semitic.
And there was, or they can't be against Jews, partially because they butter their bread and partially because, you know, they are Jews.
They are Jews in many cases, or their friends are Jews or to be democratized.
They have to do the opposite of what Nazis do.
And there was, you know, that we, of course, don't like Jews or Israel because of the nature of Jews and because Israel is the den of the Jews.
But yeah, like Rolo was trying to like square that circle or something, and it just kind of like made the springs come out.
And either they didn't understand you or I couldn't understand what the hell they were trying to say.
Are you talking about when I named the three Jews and I was talking?
And what I was actually talking about was like there are like there's Orthodox right-wing Jews and then there's secular liberal Jews.
And I use the examples, Sam Harris, Steven Spielberg, and Noam Chomsky.
And I use them specifically as liberal secular Jews.
And then when I say Chomsky is the third thing, finally, you got one.
It was like three tries.
You don't know where the second one lands.
You stupid idiot.
Grow some hair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I sincerely got the sense that they were like disingenuously nitpicking because they couldn't.
Well, yeah.
Well, as you said, they were either lying or they were retarded.
And would have they had to, and it transposed over to another thing because they listened to the sex show too, or whatever the first half an hour was.
And that was the other one where I was like, are you seriously telling me Rolo was telling a story that they clipped, helpfully, where he was discouraging.
Yeah, Rollo was discouraging a man who was, for all intents, married and living under the same roof with a woman.
50-year-old man, too.
Who, yeah, who was essentially, I forget exactly, but it sounded like he was trying to sex up the women in his gym.
Is that more or less accurate, Rollo?
Yeah, like, like, not just women in his gym, but like the very young, like 20-year-old, like, can't even drink.
No, good.
And, you know, we're not total libertines on this on the show, or excuse me, Puritans is what I wanted to say.
But like, yeah, like, you know, it's, it's both corruption of the youth adding to their body count and betrayal.
I don't have a problem with a 50-year-old man going after a 20-year-old woman if the actual plan is marriage for life and children.
And like that's your goal.
But just like, I'm going to have sex with this girl because I have status.
And the proof that I hate women to my core was because I said that women treat sex differently than men do.
All right.
Yeah.
Go play back.
Tell me that's not almost verbatim.
To that conclusion.
I'm not sure that I have the wherewithal to listen to it over again.
It was kind of like Christmas.
Like, ooh, let's see what this is.
But yeah, like Rolo hates women so much that he is now on the cusp of, you know, seal on the deal.
And then we can wrap the show when Rollo is married and has his first on the way.
Yeah.
One other quick thing is, I mean, you know, God, it's, I, I pity almost Daniel Harper, or I forget the name of the because of what he looks like.
Jack Graham, I believe.
There you go.
Yeah.
He was sort of like the wow just wow guy while Daniel Harper was doing all the work.
It's really, yeah, he's the freeloader.
Daniel Harper is the coach of the I Don't Speak German podcast.
Um, but he seized on my little Walmart vignette, which was a sort of a throwaway observation late in the second half, as if I was making some profound statement.
But the idea was a show, and that's what they came up with, by the way.
No, but and then I was like, No, that's a good story, damn it.
A fat Mexican speaking loudly on speakerphone in the self-checkout of Walmart with a cute child.
They gave me credit for like not being so racist that I couldn't acknowledge that a Mexican child was cute, you know, deliberately leaving the scan, the scanner gun like on the shelf, not putting it back in its holster when her own daughter pointed out, you know, Mama Sita, you left the thing, and she just like ignoring it.
Oh, you know, like they don't, you know, obviously don't recognize how hard it is.
I was like, bitch, please, you got one kid and you're like doing checkout and you're talking to your abuela on the phone.
You can put the goddamn gun back in the holster.
That pissed me off so much.
I was like, no, that is a that is a vignette from America of the third worldification of behavior that we don't expect.
And I would be pissed off if a white woman did that too.
But it's more offensive when it's obviously an alien.
If I immigrated legally or illegally to another country and I was going to whatever the freaking European grocery stores were and retreating it like, you know, I could just do whatever the hell I want.
I'd be sure I would never do this.
I'd be on better behavior.
I'd be on my best behavior in another country, not casually disregarding and flaunting and being loud in an alien language.
So there you go.
Maybe.
That just goes with the whole thing.
Just like the illegal aliens that are here is the same thing.
Like, could you imagine you're going to a foreign country and your plan is to go there and break the law?
You're going to go there.
We're going to break the law and then act very arrogant about it.
I didn't want to get paid welfare.
Hospitals, give me schools.
I'm not supposed to be here, but you're supposed to give me everything, worship me.
Well, hold on, let's scale it back.
What if you just went to someone's house and then you're like and you went to throw like your food in the garbage and you just completely missed the can and then you looked at it and then you walked away.
Yeah, you're like, oh, well, yeah.
The presumption and the arrogance of it and the yeah, the entitlement.
Anyway, I make no apologies for my late show Walmart card from America.
I even said she wasn't like, you know, spilling.
She wasn't total atomic muffin top fat.
She was just medium fat, anyways.
I was just going to say, like, if they're, if they're fat, then they're not, if like they're obese, then they're not that busy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Maybe they could be a call center employee for you know, press two for Spanish.
Somebody's got to be answering the press two for Spanish phones.
Um, the other one was, I, I, I was actually a little not on pins and needles, but I was a little nervous because I totally forgot about the question we got years ago from the guy who was considering engaging, yeah, proposing to his girlfriend, but she's the black guys before.
And I thought maybe we were going to be like, oh, absolutely, you know, because Smasher from those days, like, you know, like, she's, she's disgusting.
You're always going to think about it.
Not wrong, but and Sam, you were sort of like considerate and, you know, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Yes, that's gross.
Miscegenation is disgusting when it's black on white for sure, in most other cases, too, but some are worse than others.
And then I was basically like, what would be, I mean, I get it.
You might not be able to get over it, but the Aryan conquistador way would be to make her yours and not throw her to the wind and into the trash bin just because she made a mistake before, which I thought was pretty magnanimous and high-minded of me.
Anyway, it came out better than I feared.
I was like, oh, I don't remember this one.
Where do we go on that?
Well, yeah.
I mean, if they wanted to make a gag reel, I mean, I would think they would have get many of the smasher light.
I'll tell you that.
I know, right?
Yeah.
Dial it in.
Maybe, maybe that's just once.
Yeah.
For all those things.
Anyway, it was just funny.
It was more or less enjoyable to listen to.
You know, like once you're done with it, you're like, okay, I didn't say something really stupid at one o'clock in the morning, episode 14 or whatnot.
Yeah.
And I asked the guys, I was like, this is probably crazy and they'll never accept, but it would be fun and entertaining to because they seem kind of harmless, right?
They're sort of like to maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but they're anthropologists looking at us.
Yeah.
Well, I tell you what, throughout my life, I've known a couple of liberals that I could that were willing to have a conversation.
Many liberals are unable to have a conversation.
It's all grandstanding and holier than thou.
And you can't even talk to them.
You can't even talk sense.
As we like to say, true information means nothing to them.
But I have known a few liberals throughout my life, and they knew full well who they were talking to.
And they were able, we could talk.
We knew that we were not going to agree, but we could actually talk and we could talk about other things even.
And there was, you know, like when you talk to a liberal, usually you can't even talk about like some other topic.
It's, you know, they have, they have no respect for us as people.
They, they hold us as the, you know, they look at us worse than the way we look at niggers, even.
You know, and can bleed that word.
Oh, my God.
You can bleep that word.
Yeah, sort of like just a combination of mockery and wow, just wow, and nitpicking.
Here's a Susie receding hairline.
I uh, well, and here's the deal: like, we're, we couldn't give a promise.
Like, we're not going to like get angry at some parts or like talk over each other, but I'd give them the opportunity to speak and it wouldn't be like a total setup and a mockery.
Like, I would actually be curious if they could be like that, because it's so rare to find like a liberal that you can have that kind of a good conversation where it's just an exchange of ideas.
And it's like, all right, well, we disagree, but that's the end of that.
You know, that would be really framing out race, immigration, sexuality, liberalism, economics, you know, Trump, all that, all that stuff.
Israel and the Jews, of course, that's sort of impossible not to untangle for many of them, I guess.
But yeah, well, I will make the promise to not make fun of the appearance of those mutants the entire time.
I give you my Rolo guarantee.
I won't make fun of your terrible, embarrassing hairline, Jack, or your Ethan Ralph-like.
And then they'll say, Well, show your face, Rolo, show your face so that we can conquer you.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Rolo looks like a movie star.
I'm just, I'm just saying, I won't make fun of the Dr. Robotnik looking Daniel Harper or the date race.
You're trying to reel them in, not scare them off.
I know.
I'm saying I won't do that.
They were kind of hardest on you, so I don't blame you for being like In fact, you go on one or two rants where I'm like, I'm not sure exactly what Rolo was trying to say there.
So I kind of feel you there.
It gets a little wound up once.
Just because you don't, that's just because you don't listen to me.
Well, I can't listen to every second with my full attention.
Sometimes I'm understanding.
Anyway, it tickles me to no end that they listen every week.
And it tickles me even more that they're hearing us critique their clip show.
And if you know, send an email if you're interested.
And yeah, pivoting back to, yeah, Sam, I totally get you.
Like today was a Sunday.
It was cold and windy and cloudy.
And the kids were all here.
Obviously, it's a Sunday.
They wouldn't be at school anyway.
But I just, I felt like I was a bad day today, dad today.
And, you know, quite often I feel like I'm inadequate, which is partially what makes me a good dad because I start to get that sense like we're not doing enough things.
And we're not, there's too many video games going on, not enough books being read.
But today was one of those days where I was like, you know what?
Play video games.
Like Youngest is all into Geometry Dash, which is mindless but harmless.
And then they play together this sort of like Smash Brothers updated thing that they encourage me to play.
And I was like, this is less fun than Smash Brothers was.
And I was like, you guys want to go for a walk?
They're like, no, it's cold out.
I was like, yeah, you're right.
But most importantly, our youngest is still absolutely faithful to the mythos of St. Nicholas.
And I was able to plan something really nice, just the two of us, hopefully not as a last hurrah on the Santa Claus front, which I'm genuinely looking forward to.
And he's super excited about.
So that will probably bring me out of it.
And then, you know, it's as simple as weather, the sense that you have to be happy and joyous this time of year, not being a true.
And the other thing, Sam, is too, for you, you have the true faith and joy in your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the celebration of his coming.
And for me, it's a little bit forced.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, fair enough.
I was raised with it as well, but I do not have the deep, genuine excitement and faith and whatnot to properly enjoy this time of year, which is also extremely crazy out there with materialism.
And I don't know.
It seems like the economy is fine to me.
I'm actually on Christmas.
Maybe we can talk about the economy.
But from what I've seen, everything is going gangbusters.
People are shopping left and right.
The stores are chock full.
That doesn't doesn't seem like the consumer recession or depression that I read about.
Prices are down on gas.
Like we could talk about Trump's weird, bizarre governmental infomercial the other night.
But yeah, yeah, I hear relatively early in the show and any further stuff on Christmas, Sam.
And I don't think people should feel guilty or sad if they're not super excited this time of year.
I'll shut up there.
Well, I think you should be excited, but sometimes there's just such a conflicting bunch of emotions.
It's very confusing.
And you mentioned, I think, another factor I should have put in my list, which is the weather.
You know, we've already got dumped on a lot of snow, very, very cold, very, very icy.
Now we had some little bit of here for days.
Yep.
We had a little bit of a respite and now it's kind of a lot of it melted and dried up.
But, you know, that's all part of it too, where you're, you're, I was, I was moving something across the one of the cities, you know, and I said, really?
Here I am in rush hour driving this thing that's sticking out.
I got the bungee cord holding the back down.
I'm driving, you know, moving this big thing in the snow.
Going to, you know, my son said, I asked my son, where are we going with this thing?
Oh, we're going to the west side.
Like, like, what kind of neighborhood?
Should I like be bringing a gun or something like that?
And he's like, well, I don't know.
I'm like, okay, well, we're dropping this thing off, right?
Well, we're moving as a refrigerator, to be honest with you, and give the detail.
And I fit it in the vehicle and it was sticking out.
And I said, we are dropping this thing off, right?
We're not like going to wrestle this up some nigger's stairway, staircase, you know, into some apartment building.
Oh, I'm not sure.
We got there.
No, it was perfect.
They were waiting for us.
We dropped the thing off.
We just put it up on this ledge.
They had a hand dolly.
We got it from here.
I'm like, okay, thank you.
Goodbye.
So, but that, you know, that's an example of, you know, what you go through here at the end of the year.
It's, it's all rush-rush.
It's snow, but, but there's the decorations that warm the heart and all that.
And, and for me, you know, I try to entertain the what would be like detractions from it.
You know, like some people, even myself, would wonder like, well, where does that come from December 25th, where, you know, Christmas Day, where here we are observing it, you know, religiously.
And there are people, of course, you know, you got the pagans, they would question, you know, this is just like.
Co-opted from the solstice.
Yeah, co-opted from the solstice.
And then, you know, you got the Protestants who would say, well, that's just like a Catholic day that was set.
It was, it was set on a pagan day because Catholicism is like pagan anyways.
And it's, that's not really when Christ was born and all that.
And so I wonder about those things myself.
And so I made some notes about that.
Maybe I could mention just a few things because inquiring minds want to know, right?
But the whole thing of, I suppose, to be honest and generous to a different point of view, the idea that we could, you know, we have a seven-day week here.
And let's say today's Sunday, we're recording a show.
This is the day that we have to honor the Lord's Day.
We attend Mass and all that.
Well, I mean, this Sunday doesn't go back to the beginning of time being the same day every seven days, right?
I mean, you can't say that because there are different types of ways of keeping the time.
There were different types of calendars.
So if anyone thinks that, you know, we know that a given day corresponds to some given day back into eternity going backwards in time.
No, that's, you know, it's not quite as cut and dried as that.
And in Roman times, they had a lunar calendar.
And so they followed the phases of the moon, as I'm sure as you know, as many may know, or maybe not know, the moon, new moon occurs every 29 and a half, approximately days.
And you don't have to be too smart to realize if you follow that as being moon equals month, right?
It's the same word, moon, month.
You get a new moon every month.
Yeah, but you're going to keep losing time.
And then that affects planting seasons and things like that.
So, you know, even ancient people knew that they had to add days here and there to keep it on track.
But in the ancient times, in Roman times, they followed the phases of the moon.
The phases of the moon were well known and well understood, well tracked.
And they would, they called antideum.
They called the days antideum, which means days before.
So they would mark the days leading up to the next phase of the moon.
So let's say the new moon is now.
So then tomorrow they would start tracking how many days would it be to the crescent moon, right?
And then to the quarter moon and then to the gibbous moon.
And then you would get to full moon and so forth.
So they would count backwards.
And that did actually, the effect of it was like giving us dynamic sense of like coming, always coming up to something.
And so that's how they tracked their days and weeks and months.
And the months were just like cardinal numbers.
Like we still have a remnant of it, like October or September, let's start with that is obviously seven.
September is seven.
October would be eight.
And, you know, November 9, December 10, so forth.
So, you know, so how did this all work?
Well, eventually in about 46 BC, you had the Julian calendar because they knew that you had to have those extra days so that the seasons and everything would come in the right, you know, you would anticipate the seasons in the right way.
The moon wasn't cutting it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They had these.
And these, I wanted to mention the names because so like our word calendar comes from, they would call the new moon the calendar.
In other words, it's the same word as like our word to call out or proclaim calend.
So that was the new moon.
And then the quarter moon was nonus.
And then, of course, famously, the full moon would be the Ides, right?
Like the Ides of March, when Julius Caesar was assassinated.
So, but then they had the Julian calendar.
So then that brings us up to, okay, so how, how and why did they think that Christ was born on December 25th?
And I think, too, a lot of, you know, there's a lot of people who sound really smart or think they're really smart.
They kind of really pick apart, question, dissect, deconstruct things that the church has stood for for a long time.
But I'm somebody who thinks that somehow, some way, the church was maybe just right on these types of things.
And so it was known from that time that March 25th was the day of Christ's crucifixion and death.
And so in the minds of the early church fathers, they had this concept called the integral age.
In other words, the significant people in history, saints, prophets, especially, and this is even going into Old Testament times with the Israelites, they believed that one of these figures, the day of their conception was the day of their death.
And so it was like a perfect, like Moses was said to live a perfect 120 years.
He was born on this day.
He died on a day exactly 120 years.
And that was considered to be a perfect life because this person was such a significant person.
So you could see how that carries over to Christ.
It is known that he was crucified, died on March 25th, nine months later, guess what?
December 25th.
So it was, that's the day.
But that took until like the, you know, third, end of the third century into the fourth century, where you start to have records where, but there's very significant people like Jerome and Augustine and others.
They were already writing like this is the day we recognize December 25th.
But before that was always recognized, the Epiphany Day, which is January 6th, 12 days later, that was, so to speak, the appearance in the world of Christ.
And we commemorate it by recognizing the three kings, right?
When the three kings came and they saw Christ, that was Christ appearing to somebody other than his immediate family.
And so that was called a also Christmas Eve in the Orthodox world.
Yeah, exactly.
And in the Eastern church, they continue to use Epiphany Day as their big day.
And even in many Catholic countries, Epiphany Day will often be a holy day of obligation.
It is not in the United States, unfortunately, but it is.
remains, of course, a very holy day, but not one of obligation.
So, you know, I found that kind of interesting, but also then there's the 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany Day.
And I think of going now to Yuletide, you know, for our pagan friends, there's the 12 days of Yuletide as well.
Now, Yuletide, that all developed later, that recognizing the solstice, these two things are separate.
They are not, one did not steal from the other or anything like that.
That Yuletide developed later, but there's a lot of interesting things about it.
You know, because a lot of those words we actually use in our Christian religion as well, like even Yule, right?
We have a lot of Christmas carols mentioned, Yule.
We use that word Yule for this time of year, just like Easter.
We use that, use that word to signify time of year.
Just like if I told you, you know, we're going to church on Thursday and then you turn to me and said, oh, Thursday, that's Thursday.
Aha, you're going to church on a pagan day.
Okay, well, that's what the Odin's.
That's what the day is called, you know, and the Easter time is called Easter and the Yuletide time is called that, you know, we have to tell you the time of the year that we're referring to in some kind of words.
And those are the words.
That blew my mind, by the way, Sam.
I was probably 35 or 37 years old when somebody explained to me that Thursday is Thor's Day, Wednesday is Odin's Day.
You teach your day.
Yeah, right.
It's hiding in front of an open space.
Yeah.
Anyway, that was funny.
I was like, how did they not teach me where the names of the week came from in school growing up?
Anyway, sure.
No, absolutely.
And there's something, you know, I think even as Christians, we can recognize certain things in the paganism that are, you know, good and right.
And nothing takes away from our own belief and all that type of thing.
And so there's the burning of the Yule log, you know.
You know, if you just Google that, the Yule log, you see all kinds of beautiful things that people have.
I can even remember as a child seeing that, you know, like a, like kind of a, maybe it was a faux log, not a real one, but something that was stylized with garland on it and candles and things like that.
And so the idea of the Yule is the solstice and the returning of the sun.
The sun is, of course, warmth and protection.
They would take the log, sometimes a whole tree and burn it, you know, set it on fire.
And that would be the warmth, of course, and winter was important and the idea of the sun returning.
And it's also a 12-day festival, though the exact amount of days has varied in time.
But it also ties in with this idea of the wild hunt, which is interesting.
I sent you a picture.
Maybe you put it in the show notes or something.
It's a little spooky.
Yeah, I had no idea what it was.
Yeah, the wild hunt.
Well, there's some very famous renderings of the wild hunt throughout history.
If you just Google that image, you'll find other images that are maybe a little easier to look at or easier to see.
But the one that I have there is one of many, many posters on the wall in my basement of skinhead stuff through the years.
And I got this from a skinhead site.
Were selling, like Albrecht Dürer's art uh, which of course is used a lot in the Third Reich.
I thought this was Albrecht Durer as well, but I couldn't find.
As I was rushing before the show started I was trying to figure out.
I thought it was Albrecht Durer but it is not and I couldn't figure out who it is.
So I apologize, but the image is interesting because, you see, it is a little bit hard to make out.
Right, it's a little bit at first you look at it it's kind of like a big confusion.
But if you start to look, you see something that looks like the Steed you know Odin Steed uh, slipner there.
And you see first was that it might be like a grainy Holocaust photo of a pile of shoes, like where my brain went at first.
But yeah sorry well if, if you do kind of look at it, it's the idea is like there's all these uh uh uh, mounted people on horses or deer or reindeer or whatever, and you see the they're all rushing up together.
If you look at some of the other images that are maybe a little little easier to discern all that out of you you'll see it.
But this is the one I actually have on my wall and I think it's cool because it is kind of like you have to look at it and figure out what it is.
But the point is this was what was imagined going on in those winter storms, with these sort of violent movements of the clouds and the darkness and the winter storms, and it was imagined to be uh, you know, like there's these uh supernatural, uh entities the dead maybe right, even the dead, or Odin or other entities like that are all rushing forward and what?
What was something that our ancestors had, even in Christianity, but even with these people who would believe in this stuff in the ancient times, there was this like awe of of the world, the awe of nature, and even like a kind of a holy fear of it.
You know yeah, a like, like something, like some.
This is like they regarded god or godlike figures as something to be appeased, even you know.
And now people, modern people, are often so very arrogant and they uh like these Antifa people, by the way who, or any liberals who, who uh, disrespect nature, disrespect race and and would would in some way uh encourage or accept these uh homos or whatever you know.
So that's what's missing in modern people is this respect, awe and even fear, or holy fear, of the elements.
And so that's where even some of these concepts or these uh customs of they would put out a boot and they would put, like carrots or hay in there, and the idea was that oh, Slipner comes and he, he eats some of the carrots and the hay and then Odin leaves you a little gift behind.
Sure, i'm even thinking of uh Alexander The Great and him doing endless sacrifices yeah, on the road before battles, in fear or awe of the greater powers that could make or break his latest campaign, which people drove me.
Yeah, I was like how stupid can you be?
Who the you know what the hell does?
Are god or the gods going to care if you kill a goat and spill some blood on the altar, which may be well-founded or whatnot?
But yeah, just to to your point about the fear and the reverence of the unknown and yeah, and like a class that convinced you yeah, absolutely you know, and that's that's something these people, they don't have any idea what that's all about.
Well, hold on, wait.
What about when the Negroes?
They pour a little out for their homie, right?
Maybe that's uh something about Yeah, but that always enters mine too.
Not being arrogant, Sam, is such a huge part.
Like when everything, I maybe mentioned this before, but when things are really cruising in life, everybody's healthy and happy and the songs are up and everything.
I'm always like, what's lurking around the corner?
I, you know, pride cometh before the fall, right?
Or confident before the fall.
So life will always and can always throw you a nasty curve.
Well, as you as you offered very freely on your own, you said how you had a wonderful day.
There were the kids, your wife, whatever you were doing.
And you just looked up and you said, thank you.
That means a lot right there.
And that's where people would need to start with that.
Start with that sense and that humility.
Inspiration, if you will.
That too.
Yeah.
So yeah, those are some of the things I were just thinking about with Yuletide, Christmas, this Advent season, of course, which is the fourth Sunday.
I lit my fourth count candle today.
All four camp on the red going.
And yeah.
Yeah.
Amen, Sam.
And sort of in that spirit, you know, we've never really done a year in review.
This has been a hell year all.
It's hard to believe that it was less than a year ago that Trump was inaugurated, went to the state sign.
We just had a little technical intermission, which was actually quite welcome for Sam and I, at least, given our liquid consumption.
But, you know, just looking back, it was a hell of a year from beginning to end.
And in the keeping of Sam's sort of historical seasonal review, we've never mentioned this was quite a few dissidents, well known and perhaps not so well known, died this year.
And I just wanted to give them the common respect.
I wasn't a huge fan of any of them in particular, but I think each of them made a little bit of an impact or a ripple in the waves in their own way.
I think Z-Man was probably the most prominent and faded after his aftermath, which was unexpected.
Apparently, he had heat stroke and he was beloved by a lot of guys.
Not hardcore enough for a lot of us, of course.
I think maybe derided as a little bit boomer in some of his attitudes or bearing, but clearly a very intelligent man.
And Godspeed, Z-Man, wherever your spirit may be right now or nowhere, I don't know.
Alex Linder died this year.
No idea.
Oh, wow.
Maybe, maybe you didn't know that, Sam.
No.
Virulently anti-Christian.
In fact, his very last post on Twitter was anti-Christian, of course.
But Alex Linder was somebody that we were mutuals on Twitter back in the early days.
And I have a fond memory of listening to some of his audio books.
He did a ton of work.
He read Siege, essentially.
I had never read Siege.
I listened to Siege, courtesy of Alex Linder, and he was in the cause for a long, long time.
Vienna forum, I believe.
Yeah, Vienna.
I used to go on there.
They had like a bulletin board style website.
Yeah.
Yep.
And I actually emailed Alex Linder at one point.
I remember trying to go on and invite him on the show.
He never responded.
You know, it was like a Gmail account or something.
Who knows if he ever saw it or if he was sort of, you know, it's something it's, it's, you know, because I feel like one of the old guys now who's lost a little bit of the fire.
I was, you know, it's not Tom's job to give me a pep talk and get me psyched for all this stuff.
After 10 years, it can be a little bit repetitive or fatiguing, or you tend to lose a little bit of that.
So, I'm just speculating, who knows what was going on in Alex Linder's mind or in his life.
Um, another one going back maybe to the 2014, 2015, when a lot of us were finding TRS and all the craziness was going around in the conservative.
It was common filth.
Um, yes, yes, fairly popular show, I guess.
And I think his whole thing was mocking the uh disgusting sexual depravities of modern America.
Are you more familiar with him, Sam?
I remember when he would be on TRS.
Yeah, yeah, some falling out there, and I don't know the whole backstory or the history, but uh, he, uh, yeah, he passed away this year.
Um, and I'm not speaking ill of the dead, but I do believe that that was alcohol-related.
And for whatever reason, he went down the black pill hole or the down the rabbit hole too far and maybe perhaps drank himself to death.
Not speaking ill of the dead, that is just what I heard from a reputable source.
And then, finally, you know, maybe the most obscure was Anti Dem.
He, I, I remember him from the TRS forums back in the day.
Um, I think he admitted to being a small percentage Jewish, but was an intelligent poster.
And I think he had a show for a while.
I saw that Millennial Woes was the one who confirmed his death on Twitter last month.
Um, I hadn't thought of him in probably seven or eight years, but I think you know, not an old guy.
None of the maybe Z-Man was the oldest one of all them.
And whenever a dissident dies, you always wonder if it was due to depression or, you know, being aware of our issues can be heavy.
And then also, maybe, you know, like for a lot of guys, like the cause is everything and like, you know, creating content and critiquing modern society.
And sometimes, some days you're up, some days you're down.
I honestly feel kind of bad for professional content creators.
I can't, I mean, maybe if you're shameless and money hungry, I just couldn't imagine doing that for so long as a business or as your way of making money.
You have to really have the love of the game or be shameless.
You know, obviously, there are good full-time content creation people.
I just, it's, it's not in my gene code or something.
But go ahead, Sam.
So, well, yeah, but that's where I come back to this thing: it's not about winning or losing, or whether the things are up or the things are down, or this is, you know, it's very popular right now or not very popular.
It's, it's because of the personal power that it gives me or gives somebody that you can go through life knowing the truth and using that to your advantage.
So it's, it's, yeah, of course we want to win.
Of course, we want to further our cause of our folk and all that.
But whether, you know, so in other words, you're not, you're not living for the podcast.
You're not living for the rally or the event, but just day to day, moment to moment, you know, you're being uplifted.
And it's, I find this, I'm exalted by the experience, right, of being in.
And so, yeah, sometimes it comes down to like actual struggle, maybe even physical struggle.
If you have to defend your life or defend your home or intellectually or legally or whatever it is, you know, or just even if you're not on a podcast, you're not publishing anything, but you're a die-hard white nationalist that's that's living it.
That there's there is and there should be something exhilarating about that.
And that's what keeps you in it.
Absolutely.
Not to pivot in a negative direction off of that uplifting thing, Sam.
But I was thinking today, a little retrospectively, in the early days, you know, six years ago doing the show, I was a young father with young kids under the roof and was much more exhilarated by the prospect of father foothood.
Now, a discerning audience member might say, okay, so coach is getting bored with fatherhood and he's getting bored with white nationalism.
Like, you know, he's just, you know, put him out to pasture already.
But, you know, it's just a, it's a, you know, like, I've now been a father for much longer.
I've been a content creator for much longer.
I think it's understandable if a little bit of jaded aspect comes into that.
Sure.
But back then, back then, I was like full of like, oh, there's things you could do.
And part of it is I feel like I've told all the stories, right?
We're now getting into teenage years and getting older and some of the magic starting to leave.
And now it's more about, look, I want it's like, what, what is good parenting in a nutshell?
It's like healthy food, not too much screen time, exercise, fun, stimulating activities.
I took the kid to a took the kids to a small aquarium.
Kind of had to frog march actually.
And Junior didn't want to go, but it was lovely over Thanksgiving.
And I was glad that we did it.
I was like, yeah, got to do, got to do more of that.
But at the same time, I don't have, yeah, I don't have, I don't have the zeal anymore to tell, I absolutely have the zeal to still preach the gospel of fatherhood, family formation, marriage, and the joys and wonders of children.
100%.
I could, you know, just even thinking about not having that feeling is anathema to me.
I just don't have the passion to tell people, oh, you should do this, you should do that.
Here's a tip.
Here's a tip for that.
You know, like keep them healthy, have as many as you can.
And it's awesome and you won't regret it.
And that's that's the same for me.
But you know, we're just going through life.
We're getting older.
Yeah.
We're in a different phase of everything.
Well, the thing is, yeah, maybe at a different time of life, I too might have been more of a proselytizer, you know, but I am a proselytizer, but I look for the person who is open-minded and the person who loves good things and who wants good things.
You know what I mean?
And when you can identify someone like that and then you give them some good ideas and some good things to go down, yeah, then that's great.
You're really helping somebody grow in their life.
But as far as the people who are addicted to bad things, you know, and who are selfish and stupid and all that, ignorance is its own punishment.
And we will leave that person in ignorance for sure.
We're not going to put ourselves at risk and throw our pearls before the swine, right?
We don't do that.
Absolutely.
Rolo informs me that we're, you know, over an hour by now.
And we, of course, had the little technical hiccup.
But let's come back in the second hour.
I still got a few more things to talk about.
And I would love, you know, I was going to give Tom the break music again.
He was going to outsource it to his Australian music consigliary.
But Sam and/or Rolo, I'll pass it off to you.
Let's play some nice Christmas music.
And then, Sam, if there's a, you know, a skinhead Christmasy jam that you want to close us out with this week, you got that.
So maybe, you know, Rolo, I'll give the break music to you, but in the spirit of the season, something nice.
I don't think there's synthwave Christmas music yet.
What do you mean?
You haven't started a whole genre yet.
Well, yeah, that's true.
No, I sent you a Synthwave Christmas song too.
And Sam is also right.
I did last year.
He put out CD.
I did a Christmas EP last year.
Oh, yeah.
News Flag.
Christmas Synth Wave?
What am I living on another planet?
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah, man.
Well, you are so dedicated to the meme of not listening to me that you forgot.
Forgot that you have to listen to that.
And well, I'm oh, okay.
I did, I did listen to the one that you sent me, Rolo, but it just I'll give it another try.
It didn't, uh, it didn't grab me straight out of the gate.
Anyway, well, put one of those other ones off, one of his other tracks.
He's got a lot of good tracks for Christmas.
All right.
I'll let Rolo pick it.
Yeah.
I believe me, I was, I was, I proselytized the hell out of Rolo's musical creation there.
I just, anyway, we'll be right back.
Sorry, buddy.
Back to
full house, episode 219, second half.
No Tom Sewell edition.
But christmas mostly joy, with a little bit of introspection for sure.
And let's start off with some new white life to kick us off.
I've got some more good news to share as well.
No new white life on my end, unfortunately, but that would only happen if there was a lot of stuff.
Immaculate conception.
Yeah, second act in life.
Anyway, before we stomp on him, our pal Marty let us know.
I don't think anybody knew that Marty and his wife had so many kids.
They welcomed number eight.
He said, yeah, he said his wife delivered baby five minutes after her back hit the bed in the maternity wards.
Talk about squeezing in under the wire.
And he said, Glad I didn't listen to her when she was telling me to slow down on the way.
There you go, Marty.
Pedal to the metal.
Women don't know anything about these babies and birthing.
There's a lot of mystery.
A lot of mystery in this.
That's right.
And also, our pal Mitt Gartner, who was a mainstay on all of our gardening shows, Sam and I were just singing his praises at the break.
Described him as one of my favorite strangers from the internet because I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet.
Just last night, sent me a picture and said, Congratulations with the picture of just a beautiful little, basically brand new baby.
And at first, I thought he had on like an obscure swastika shirt, and I realized it was the full house logo up close.
And it's very worn.
So I think that he's been wearing and washing that quite often.
So, Mitt Gartner, congratulations.
Yeah, that's what we need to do: the full house onesie for all these babies that are getting born.
Sure.
All right.
Hey, another stranger on the internet reached out to say he wanted a hoodie and we made it happen.
So, even though it's not exactly like an online store, bing, bang, boom, we got it done thanks to us and the customer and the producer and everything.
So, if you want something, let us know.
We can make it happen.
I wanted to very carefully describe this, but I finally met up with a longtime friend of the show, a guy that Sam knows, who has a big Christian family with lots of young white life under the roof.
I won't give the numbers or whatever, but I said, and I brought my son along because we had to be in the neighborhood anyway.
It was sort of a two birds with one stone thing.
And I don't know that I had ever visited a household that had that many kids, so I wasn't exactly apprehensive, but I just didn't know what to expect.
And, you know, I also not having met them, I was like, All right, Junior, here we go.
We don't know what we're into.
And as soon as we got to the door, what happens?
But some of the youngest come up to show off their stuffed animals, right?
And they're like instantly the innocent curiosity, right?
And then dad comes along beaming right behind them, and he's sort of like chiding them for you know getting all up in our business right away.
But I told him often, I was like, No, it's totally fine.
Hey, well, what's it?
I get it.
We played the game of I had to guess the name of their stuffed animals, and I was like, you know, batting pretty high, like two out of three at first.
And then I started bringing the obscure stuff down from their bedrooms.
And I was like, All right, there's no way I'm going to do this.
But, but regardless, it was a aside from just being a healthy, fun, pleasant, friendly, enjoyable, loving evening.
You know, we had dinner there and then we watched the movie together.
It was fascinating to see the organized chaos.
I mean, that completely complimentary, but you know, with that many heads under the roof, everything's a production.
You know, dinner is a big deal.
And I was, we were both, Junior and I most impressed by they basically had a, I don't think I'm sharing too much here, they had a family meeting after dinner that included both prayer, a review of sort of the schedule over the coming days, responsibilities.
And then one of the kids got special recognition for being the hardest worker that day.
And it was just really cool and impressive.
I, it kind of filled me with awe because I was like, I don't know that I could.
I mean, you get used to anything, right?
You manage anything.
It just becomes what you do.
But a little bit more than you had under your roof at one point, Sam.
Yeah.
Well, and I think maybe to somebody who's listening to this, they might say, as you just kind of indicated, boy, I don't know if I can, how would I manage all that and everything?
Well, that's true.
There's there is the challenge of it, but the thing that is lost on these materialistic people, like these ANIFA assholes, is what we stand for is life.
And what you were in there is life.
Okay.
And the opposite of it is death.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And there was a ton of love under that house.
Yes.
And as, you know, when we were driving home and we had a decent drive home, Junior and I talked about it.
It was sort of like, you know, oh, wow, did you notice this?
And you notice this.
And what did he say?
He said something I can't remember.
Oh, he see, you know, without me prodding, I wasn't like, was it that great boy?
You know, don't you want to have that many kids?
But he was like, oh man, if you had that many kids, like, who needs friends?
And you've said this on the show before, Sam.
You got your whole, you've got, you've got basically like a volleyball team there.
My kids were friends with each other, you know, growing up.
They didn't need outside friends.
Yeah.
I mean, you should have outside friends too.
You should have outside friends too.
But, you know, you got all the people in your family right there.
They're built in.
They're baked in.
And then my only thought, and it's not critical or whatever, is that I'm interested, or it would be interesting to find out as those kids grow older and hopefully get married and have families of their own, do they follow the model and have as many as they can within reproductive realities and economic realities?
Or when they get older, do they think, you know, it was a little bit crazy under that, under that roof.
I maybe don't want to have that many and let's go with a more traditional two, three, four.
I don't know.
No.
Well, no, you raise a good point because it is a challenge and it is a burden to a certain extent.
And if it was all just based on, okay, we got all the love and the fun and the big family and all the things that happen in that family compared to being able to pursue all kinds of interests and have extra money and be on all kinds of teams.
Like if you're just going to compare those things, then of course, then it's like, well, you could, you could say there's good in both ways.
But what needs to happen is like, if you grew up on the block, like our ancestors, you grew up on the block, guess what?
Everybody was poor, but no one thought of themselves as poor because everyone was doing the same thing.
If we were all having big families, five, six, seven, eight, ten kids, well, that's just what you do then.
So it's, but the thing is, that's what's good for society because out of all those people, the multitude of people like Hitler talked about, nature provides a plentitude.
And out of the plenitude, the best arise.
So when we have these communities that have a thriving, growing population, the schools are full of kids and the churches are full of kids and families.
And guess what?
There's baseball teams and there's choirs and there's bands and there's all the things that come out of that.
Without all that life, all those things dry up and disappear.
Yep.
And just wanted to say thank you for hosting us.
Incredible time job.
And he knows who he is.
And come to think of it, Sam, I met up with a second stranger, quote-unquote stranger from the internet who I've been in comms with.
He wanted to meet up and finally say hello, lives vaguely within this area.
So we went to a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant to shoot.
He was like, oh, yeah, you know, as a dissident, you got to go, you got to go to the ethnic restaurants.
I said, yeah, I remember all of this.
So I'm selling myself short there.
Yeah, I'm still going out to meet the people and to meet the fans.
Do I know this person?
He is in the group chat, but I'll mention it who he is off air.
It was a terrible.
I was like, mine was pretty.
Well, of course, I finished mine.
I was like, you're not going to finish your Chinese dish.
He's like, no, it was pretty terrible.
I was like, yeah, it was.
There's not a ton of ethnic restaurants around here like in some other places I've lived.
So we made the best with what we had.
So anyway, two for two on quote unquote strangers from the internet that I used to do all the time back in the day.
And not so much.
There's so much of the current events that from terrorism to assassination to Turning Point USA to Trump's thing.
I remain in my same stance on Trump and Vance and immigration and everything.
And that obviously it is not perfect.
I don't have to make a big thing out of this, but and it's not permanent enough.
We were talking before the show that my main concern is that they are doing enough to inflame the hatreds and the passions and the revenge fantasies of the left, but not making them structural or permanent enough to have them protect us if things go poorly in the midterms and in 2028.
Now, is that worrying or whatever?
Of course, I saw the disgusting Hanukkah Menorah display with Mark Levin manhandling the president, putting his arm around his shoulder and almost grabbing him by the lapel, which you know that Trump really hates.
That and everybody's like, see, I'm like, yeah, he's done that.
Like basically, he did that all four years of his first term too.
That's baked into cake.
Yeah, I see, I see the things.
I know he loves Israel.
I know he's philosophic.
But did you see that he basically did away with the diversity lottery after finding out that it was the Portuguese man of war who went ham at Brown and then went up and whacked that Jewish MIT physics nuclear energy professor?
The ban on a large number of countries.
No, India is not included yet, but some like half a dozen or well over a dozen countries cannot enter this country either for tourist or for immigration purposes.
Not nothing.
And of course, JD Vance just tonight saying, you know, it's okay to be white.
He basically did it's okay to be white, which was rebel propaganda 10 years ago.
And, you know, if there is one thing that we have done well over the past 10 years, it's basically insurgent propaganda culture jamming and insisting on getting our message into the mainstream, which it, which it now is.
The left hates Israel for the wrong reasons.
The right increasingly knows that about the USS Liberty's been everywhere.
Ben Shapiro is hated.
The Babylon B is mocked.
So yeah, I'm still in my same mode.
I haven't reevaluated the Israel stuff as disgusting.
I'm grateful for some of the significantly good things that they've done.
And as weird and off-putting to a normal person, including myself, was as Trump's weird.
You know, everybody thought he was going to declare war on Venezuela or say that Maduro has 24 hours.
Everyone was 100% sure he was going to declare war.
And you know, yep.
And he is good at that, at manipulating.
And if they are going to drop bombs or do something more, they're just going to do it.
They're not going to announce it in advance.
I can't think off the top of my head of, but they've, you know, monkey wrenched that and done things unexpectedly many times as opposed to the old way of, I remember George W. Bush in the Oval Office giving Saddam and his sons basically 24 hours to leave the country or put down their arms or something like that.
Not happening.
The Wall Street Journal today reporting that Cuba is now on the verge, even more on the verge of collapse due to the interrupting the Venezuelan oil gravy train that I guess has been going on there for a decade or more.
But his, look, look at those, like, put aside your hatred of Trump or your dislike of Trump.
Those slides were pretty legit.
Is our gas prices down?
Absolutely.
I filled up for $2.14 a gallon the other day on the ETH E15, which I increasingly use if I don't, if I'm driving a far away, I'll take I'm going to send you some five-gallon pails.
Can you fill them up, please?
Not so lucky as 214.
What's your average up there, Sammy baby?
Three or more.
Maybe just under three, under three.
Yeah, I mean, and now, of course, that's that's small ball, right?
But that's that's a pretty significant thing.
No, no, no.
It's better than you know, pushing $4 a gallon.
One of the most maddening data points of the past decade or more is how overwhelmingly new job creation in the United States went to foreign-born workers.
And that has been utterly flipped on its head.
How many illegal aliens made it through and were released from the southern border?
Virtually zero.
How about the white birth rates?
White birth rates are up.
Every other demographic is down.
Another interesting thing, Sam, is that the black birth rate in the Bible Belt has plummeted, or at least in the deep South, I should say, despite me being told that we would face an avalanche of black babies after Roe v. Wade was overdoed.
That's the thing.
People, they imagine the black mammy with her eight or nine welfare babies and all that.
That is not, I mean, yes, that happens, but the black birth rate has been at non-replacement levels for quite some time.
Well, they also forget, you know, there's the black mammy with eight or nine babies, but they forget about the black Jamal with two feet.
And they're fast feet, fast feet too.
Yeah, they get out of there.
No, I mean, the ones that kick the black woman in the stomach.
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
You went even darker.
Yeah.
See, like life finds out.
Steve Harper, Jurassic Park.
Yeah, Daniel Harper's going to have a field day with that one.
See, I was just saying that the field day with 12 dominoes pizzas.
That's terrible.
I disappear.
It's terrible because this is what black men are also known for doing.
Like one way or another, that baby's getting aborted.
Oh, well, oh, coach, you're going to go.
Coach, I hate to break this to you, but black men commit more violence than any other race.
Actually, usually against black people, too.
That too.
And I think it was Matt Parrot.
He popped up in my Twitter feed for the first.
I have no idea what's going on with the algorithm and how they're, I see people complaining.
Sometimes like, you know, Phil Turney, our pal from the USS Liberty, he disappeared from my feed for months and now he was back again today.
And then Parrot showed up today and he said, look, in the realm of the possible and like, you know, absent a national social, I'm totally paraphrasing.
I forget what he said, but it was more or less a common sense like thing.
Like if you wanted to turn the ship around in a gradual non-revolutionary way with inadequate anti-Semitism, it would look a lot like this.
And to actively oppose this would be more or less some form of kooky accelerationism.
I don't know.
I'm not endorsing that take.
Maybe I got it wrong, but there was an element of truth to it, that it's like, it's inadequate.
It risks just inflaming our enemies and not putting any sort of permanence, like a massive wall that would be a pain in the ass to drink that, or actually getting Congress to pass a GD bill that would overturn the 65 Immigration Act, of course, things of that sort.
Coming out of the trough, you know, we were in the trough and now we're coming out of the trough.
So things are just there's correct indications.
You know, there's like there's markers, but we're not, we're not there yet.
Yeah, the narrative has changed.
Some good things have happened.
I do, I mean, they're saying that we're going to get big refunds next year that people are not appreciating the tax changes that were in the big beautiful bill, which, you know, time will tell.
But I think people are going to get bigger tax refunds, whether they're in the double digits as I think.
It was the gay treasury secretary, or maybe it was the Kevin, Kevin Hassett, the guy who might go to the Federal Reserve.
But I'm pretty sure they're going to goose the economy with easier money, lower interest rates, big tax refunds, possibly those tariff rebates.
It's possible that in 2026, whether it's purely opportunistic, just to get people to vote for Republicans at the polls, I don't really care.
But another little bonanza that hopefully, and the other thing is too, tariffs are an amazing story that all the experts said that remember when the markets crashed in April of this year and there was chaos in the markets and tariffs are going to destroy the global economy and inflation is going to be rampant and they're not going to provide the income.
I don't know.
I haven't noticed anything exorbitantly new expensive this entire year, right?
You've got the bread and eggs or eggs have certainly come down, but like just buying the typical stuff at Walmart that's made in China or Amazon purchases, I haven't had sticker shock on anything.
We're definitely raking in tens of billions of dollars on the tariffs.
Well, yeah, sure, house prices, but just in terms of the tariffs have not drastically increased the price of anything.
No, inflation of common things.
Gallon of gas, gallon of milk.
Yeah.
You know, and to the, to the sort of anti-intervention fearmongers and Massey looks a little like pants on head, like overly idealistic and like more Rand Pollyan on some of these things.
It's like, we haven't, we didn't go to war with Iran yet.
We've already covered the disgusting spectacle of our remnant slavish relationship to Israel.
And I don't, we talked about this last show.
I don't think that Venezuela is like another Iraq 2003.
I don't think it's going to go like that.
And they're trying to choke it off and probably pressure Maduro to go, you know what, this ain't worth it.
Maybe I will take exile in Russia or wherever will have me and I'll turn this place over to the shitlib lady who will make Venezuela quote unquote friendly to the United States again.
I don't know.
But it is, I'll be accused of carrying water for Trump or abandoning my principles, but it's just much different than the first time was around.
It's better than I expected.
I think a lot of the stuff that they are doing is great.
And, you know, at this point, JD is in the catbird seat to be the candidate for president the next time around.
And I actually kind of the conspiracy that he's going to divorce his Indian wife and get engaged to Charlie Kirk's widow.
I have not paid a lot of attention to the Candace Owens stuff and the ballistics controversies of his assassination.
I mean, I guess she feels obligated.
The most charitable interpretation is that she feels compelled to like put on this performance to carry forth his flame, you know, put on a brave face.
But do she believes that they're after her too, you know, and I don't want to carry water for her defender or anything like that, but I would just say, well, let's see what happens.
I mean, you know, because the things she says are extremely inflammatory.
I saw a funny meme on one of the channels the other day, and it was like, let's see what Kundus Owens is.
Let's check in with Kundus Owens.
And so I clicked down the link and it's the and it's her like goofing to the Hava Naguila as her show opens, you know, and I said, oh, that's kind of funny.
I don't know if you ever go on her show, clicked on her show.
And then she, if you've ever watched her, she has a certain music that she opens the show, and it was the Hava Nagila, and she's like doing this dance.
And like, woof, she's like, we are not even that mocking and trying to instigate anything that hard.
You know, she's like, really like all out with the, you know, anti-Jewish stuff.
It's like, well, let's just see where this goes with her.
I mean, if somebody gets to her, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
I, you know, I understand she's like in a, maybe a secluded area and there's security and protection.
And I, you know, hey, all right, whatever.
But she's, she is not backing down or backing off or any of those things.
Yeah.
And some, you know, people picking apart her more conspiracy-minded things and that she's retarded and a grifter.
I don't know if she's, if she's attacking, you know, the Jews and reminding the blacks in America that it was the Jews who were, you know, largely responsible for the slave trade.
That's a public service to the white man.
Thank you, Candace, for reminding the brothers.
I don't know if she has a lot of brothers in the audience, but yeah.
I have no idea.
I just, you know, I would just, I would have to say in a big picture way, it's like there's some positives to take from some of that, what she's doing.
I wouldn't go out of my way to make that a regular listen or watch or thing or whatever.
But, you know, once in a while, you check in on her.
She's, she's pretty fiery and, you know, she's not taking any shit.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
And with the whole Eric or Kirk thing, I'm of two minds of it.
I'm like, let a widow deal with her.
Well, she had a lot of, but my, my human instinct is to say that this is a bizarre borderline grotesque spectacle to be going out to the to the rock music and the glitter and the, you know, I'm a normal human being.
I'm not.
The whole thing, this is the era we live in is a very like in a hundred years from now, people are going to look back and say, wow, what a weird time to be alive.
You know, I mean, it is, it's over the top.
It's extreme and it's weird.
Obviously, Allahu Akbar in Australia will hold off on that one for Tom, Nick Goya, Piers Morgan, the sort of performance that I was sort of slightly more expecting on Tucker.
Yeah.
And Tucker Awesome.
Well, and Tucker's sounding like a pro clutching faggot at TP USA Summit or extravaganza, TP a la Palooza, you know, with his concern about identity politics and not hating Muslims and stuff like that.
It's like, bro, like, don't, don't stoke the fire and then piss on it.
You know, like, pick, pick one or the other.
Are you a fire brand for white identity or are you trying to like just gain enough listeners and then dial it back?
Sort of like Ian Carroll, you know, going all JQ and conspiracy stuff and then saying, let's, but let's, let's control the hate.
It's it's almost like Tucker and Ian Carroll were doing a sort of like, let's let's draw them in with the inflammatory language and the like wild stuff.
And then you got to pump the brakes.
Like, did somebody tell you to pump the brakes?
Was that the plan all along?
Did you get a little uncomfortable, you know, because you fed some red meat to the audience and then they were reaching other conclusions you didn't want to?
It's, I don't know.
Yeah, you should have like a position that makes sense and stick to it, you know, not this.
It feels exactly like what you described, like get everybody ginned up and say, well, but you know, hey, we, you know, there's Muslims are good people too and all that.
I mean, the right position would be to say, like in a white nationalist country, of course, we would like have a certain respect for Iran, you know, but we would not pander to say, oh, we're all brothers.
We all believe in the same thing.
We're all the same.
But we could say like, okay, we respect their thing.
We see their accomplishments and their this type of society they have.
You know, there's that's the type of message you got to put out there.
Yeah, speaking of 2025 being absolutely wild, of course, the fireworks between Iran and Israel ranks very highly up there.
I was totally keen into that.
And I remember thinking at the time, if you could tell me in 2001 or 2003 that in 15, 20 years, I'd be rooting for the mullahs and Iran to just get away with as much as they could against Israel.
I would have said that you were crazy.
But strange times.
And the other thing is when you see the cacophony of voices and the splintering of America, irrespective of the mass immigration, which has, of course, just made this a clown show and a madhouse, you can almost respect the system handlers who are like, no, we are going to have three networks.
We are going to control the narrative.
There's going to be the newspapers and a couple magazines and a couple news channels that are going to tell you what to think and interpret anything.
And that is just completely out the window, which is going to be people.
They're breaking.
We're breaking the conditioning and we're also getting, you know, absolutely insane, crazy people getting traction for what, you know, and any dickhead with an internet connection and a smartphone can become a star overnight for better and for worse.
Yeah.
Are we really only 20 minutes?
No.
All right.
We're up.
I don't think he's actively keeping it.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was old.
I just noticed it.
I keep looking at.
Yeah.
I got my team.
I'm keeping track.
Baby.
Okay.
Very good.
Rolo, anything in your stack that you want to mention?
And yeah, Turtle Island.
Go ahead, Turtle Island.
Do you think that was fake and gay?
They were entrapped.
Is this like the antifa Michigan Whitmer kidnapping plot?
I have no idea.
No, I think the thing that's the most notable, it's the first terror plot the FBI has ever foiled.
So congratulations to the FBI.
Yeah.
It's like people say like, you've done nothing.
It's like, well, okay, they've actually arrested what, like probably a dozen antifa by now.
Well, the thing that I, that I have 12 more than last time.
Yeah.
The thing that I have to like comment about this, because I was talking to a friend about it and he asked me, he's like, do you think it was set up and all that stuff and blah, blah, blah.
And I said, no, I think that these people openly communicate on Discord and like Reddit messages and whatever.
Sure.
It's very possible that they were just on Discord, like, okay, you get this thing.
This will be explosive.
You can get this at a hardware store and like just doing all that just openly.
And it was just like, all right, there's, there's just too much here.
And it's not focused on an acceptable target.
I think that the FBI lets certain things go down because they believe the targets are acceptable.
If you think a bunch of Muslims were plotting to kill Hakeem Jeffries, there's no way that they would let that happen or like someone like that.
Or like a bunch of people were going to go kill AOC.
But these people were just like, probably like, okay, you put this bomb at this Outback Steakhouse.
You put this bomb at the TG Max or TJ Max.
And then you put this one at the Nordstrom.
Like it was probably just like complete random chaos.
And they were just talking because they're trannies.
So like they're just totally mentally insane, just hopped up on violence, like Sam said earlier.
Like we're, we're pro-life.
They're pro-death.
Like that is their ideology.
They are a death cult.
They want to kill us because they think that we're somehow going to end their existence.
So they're probably just making a bunch of weapons, some explosives, and just planting it all throughout the country for some stupid reason, whether it's because of the Gaza genocide or whether it's Bornf and his tax cuts.
Do they think this is preventative Nazi rise to power in 1933?
Yeah.
Or something.
In some way, yes, something like that.
And I think it was just too, too open on comms that they were just communicating it.
And just finally, they just said, all right.
Well, we got to put a stop to this.
They're going to kill a lot of people because they're so animated right now.
They killed Charlie Kirk and nothing happened.
Well, that's kind of interesting.
The guy got arrested.
They have an arrest.
Do you not think that Taylor Robinson shot him?
No, I mean, like nothing happened as far as like crackdown on Antifa.
Like, you could say they designated a real problem.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
I mean, like, nothing, there was, there were no like negative ramifications, like, as opposed to if, if someone on the right did something, like, if, if someone on the right, like, if, like, a bunch of right-wingers were plotting to kill a bunch of Democrats, then there would probably, and like, and either it was during the Biden term or let's say 2028, Gavin Newsom, there would be probably like actual gun grabbing going on.
Right.
Like, it was like, okay, there's too much.
We can't do it.
Whereas like this guy killed Charlie Kirk.
Yeah, they arrested him, but like, what did that do politically?
Like, what, right?
Like, there's no like, okay, if you're associated with Antifa, you are now not allowed to have any guns or government welfare programs.
No, they didn't do anything.
So that's why you have this, the guy at Brown, Portuguese Turtle Island.
Yes.
Yeah.
And there's probably, and that's just the stuff we know about.
There's probably more antifa cells planning terrorist attacks, gonna do something.
And Bongino tapping out.
So Bongino tapping out with less than a year under his belt, which maybe Cash was taking his shoes off in the office and he had enough of that.
Or was he disgust?
Was he, I guess, most likely you would say that he was disgusted and frustrated by his ability if you assume that Bongino is net net a good guy, that he was frustrated or it was all an act.
I don't know.
Was it just sort of performative and like, let's, you know, Bongino will please the base.
And then he gets in there.
He's like, this sucks.
Like, this is a pain in the ass and it's too much.
And I can't do anything.
I'm going home.
Or did he, Bongino was legitimately furious about the Epstein debacle and that pissed off people because he was like, he let it be known that it was, that he was furious at Bondi and probably the president for this charade.
Who knows?
Like, there's not a single news story that can come out where people are like, okay, I think that sounds reasonable.
Nobody, a lot of people don't believe Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk.
They found the pipe bomber all of a sudden, who's supposedly like a retarded black kid from the bottom.
Like a black brony or something?
Yeah.
I mean, one of the neighbors who was maybe retired FBI was like, I've seen that kid and there's no way that he's the guy.
Like he walks the woman that the Blaze identified, right?
The Capitol Police Officer.
Yeah.
I wasn't being facetious when I said this seems credible that they lined it all up.
And then all of a sudden, it's like this black kid who got away with it for four years and they suddenly deciphered the cell phone towers.
I don't know.
It was like the Dave Chappelle thing.
Like, it's okay to say, I don't know.
I was semi-disgusted, largely disgusted by Dave Chappelle's.
It was like black chauvinism cloaked in Saudi apologia with a smattering of anti-Israel stuff.
Have you never seen Dave Chappelle?
No, of course, but I laughed more at previous stand-up performances.
You know, I laughed a couple of times at this one, but it was more political than it was comedy.
But the one, well, yeah, he's a Muslim with a Filipino wife living.
I mean, he's lording over his Ohio suburb, like the aspiring Vivek.
Got Vivek running for governor of Ohio that everybody's up in arms about.
But my greater point, I actually kind of agree.
I saw maybe the kernel of what Dave Chappelle was trying to say when he was like, if you don't know, just say you don't know.
Like everybody's going insane by rejecting everything that comes out and then, you know, putting forth their own theory, whether it's loony.
And I'm not trying to shut anybody down.
I'm not being like, well, I don't know.
So I'm just, you know, but it's true.
Like, I don't want to.
Yeah, I am more inclined to accept stories, you know, the Occam's razor thing than perhaps a lot of our guys are.
But it's not like I'll say, no, of course it's possible that's all bullshit or a cover-up and stuff like that.
So it's, it's Looney Tunes.
And a lot of times I just want to tune it out.
Like this is just a cacophony of insane warring people with agendas, whether it's making money or pushing one thing or the other.
And it's hard.
I can't imagine somebody who's getting red pilled today.
Like the like back in our day, it was like, yeah, black violence, Jewish power, Nikki Haley taking down the Confederate flag, all that stuff.
And now it's just like open season on everything.
So wild, absolutely wild.
Sam, I did, I did want to mention and not to put you on the hot seat, so far as I know, Rolo sort of acknowledged, you know, at the time when you lost your first grandson or your son and his wife lost their first child, it was sensitive and time consuming.
But I, I guess at least wanted to acknowledge it more than I did at the top of the show and say thank you for sharing that.
Again, sincere condolences to you and your son and their wife and hope that they will get back on the horse.
And that had to, obviously it was painful.
It goes without saying.
Does it still sting?
Yeah, it can.
I mean, not actively, but you might find yourself talking about, and you start to choke up a little bit just because it creeps up on you.
It's not in the forefront of your mind, but like anything, if you start to dwell on it, there's something about that in life.
If you dwell on things that are negative, you're going to stay down.
But you give yourself permission to move on.
You find you can put those things in the rearview mirror a little bit and you can deal with things.
It's a little life lesson that I've found to be true.
Yeah, every day that we're alive and I look at my kids and I can't imagine losing one of them.
I am sincerely 100% grateful.
And I remind the kids of it too.
Whenever they're giving me flack or complaining, I am not hesitant to do the classic parent thing going back perhaps hundreds or thousands of years.
You don't know how good you got it.
Consider the alternatives compared to X percentage of the world's population.
You have a better life.
And take each day for the opportunity it presents.
You wake up in the morning.
Hey, we got this day ahead of us.
Let's make something out of it.
If you're going to dwell on negative and let yourself be discouraged and down in the dumps, you're going to be miserable.
Tomorrow's promised to nobody.
And we got a whole day here.
Let's make the best of this day and be thankful for it.
You'd be surprised how much better your life is if you can think of it that way.
Amen, brother.
And it was like the kids complaining that we're not going to have a white Christmas.
It's going to be like almost 60 degrees on Christmas Day.
I said, are you kidding?
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
There's some shrimp on the Barbie, baby.
All right.
I'm good to go if you guys are.
Yeah.
Busy week, busy, busy week coming up.
Thank you to the audience for riding with us.
No flack.
I was totally joking at the top.
Tom was like, oh, sorry, mate.
I had to do something today.
No big deal.
Yeah.
We'll get them back on and we'll see if our Antifa antagonists decide to take up the offer.
That would be funny.
It would.
It really would.
All right.
Rollo, you good?
Yep.
All right.
Sam, let's roll.
We love you, fam.
We'll talk to you maybe before New Year's, probably after.
A little bit of travel.
We'll see.
If Tom's like, hey, I'm ready to go tomorrow.
We can probably throw it together.
I still have all the notes and the questions perfectly teed up.
So that's a light lift.
Yep.
And we got some good shows in the hopper of people we're talking to and things we got lined up.
So we're going to be having some good shows coming up.
All right.
I'll cattle prod myself, not anally, to remind myself of the good deeds.
Sorry.
I don't know where that came from.
Yeah, I was just, well, let's just make sure there's no misinterpretation there.
We love you, fam.
We'll talk to you next week.
And Sam has got the closing music.
Have you chosen?
Yes, I did.
Yeah.
A few years ago, 2022, there was a wonderful Christmas record came out.
It was a split record between two German bands, Nord Wind and Agitator.
Great.
Great album.
And I'm going to play a song here from the band Agitator Weinach Leader.
And if you know your German, you know Weinacht.
That's one of their words for Christmas, just like we got different words for Christmas.
And Weinacht is like literally like Weinight.
And that's one of their words for Christmas.
But Weinach's Leader is Christmas song, you know, that's beautiful.
Literal.
So it's by Agitator.
And yeah, it's coming right up.
Amen.
Good deal.
Thank you, guys.
And Rolo, God.
Godspeed meeting the in-laws, future in-laws.
And I thought I'd throw in: check out White Noise Radio.
I did a Christmas show with them.
Send me that link, Sam, and I'll boost it.
Yep.
Sure will.
Sure will.
Good deal.
I'll do it right now.
All right, guys.
Have a wonderful, blessed, Merry Christmas.
And we're leaning toward the sun.
We're getting more sun for the next six months at least.
And 2026, I actually hope 2026 is a little bit calmer and less insane, but probably not.
Probably only.
No brakes on this train in many directions.
We'll talk to you soon.
Sam roll whoever.
See ya!
Shing the bells, shingle bells, fling test my sleeves, and noon is left and sight.
I kind of
Shingle bells, shingle bells, play test my sniper star, ten is left and sight.
