	Hello, welcome to the podcast, The Load Seaters.
	I'm joined today by Dan and Jeff Thompson.
	Howdy.
	From Jeff Buys Cars, which is a wonderful YouTube channel.
	I had no idea which camera to stare at.
	Look how many cameras there are.
	Normally it's just me and the car.
	I'll stare at that one.
	You guys are my friends.
	So there's, I think that's the wide angle as well, which John might go to occasionally.
	We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out.
	I don't know if you want to introduce yourself a little bit to everyone.
	Hello, I'm Geoff from the YouTube channel Geoff Buys Cars.
	I've been making car videos on YouTube for, what does it say there, probably getting on for three years.
	I've made 800 odd videos, started off buying old cars and reviewing them and sort of trying to be top gear.
	And then one day I saw an article about the new ULEZ scrappage scheme and I looked at it and I thought this is a load of rubbish.
	And I said to my wife, I'm going to sit in my car and I'm going to explain why this is a load of rubbish.
	So I made myself a very quick tinfoil hat, sat in my car, rolled the camera and basically said, this is what Sadiq Khan is planning.
	These are all the reasons it's a load of rubbish.
	And it was a very popular video.
	And I realized there was a new style of making videos, which is me sitting in the car and explaining things that are going on in the world.
	And that's what people seem to like me doing.
	So I sit in the car and I explain why stuff is a load of rubbish.
	And I rant quite a lot.
	And I try to talk as much common sense as possible and I try to expose things that are going on in the world to people so they can understand them in layman's terms.
	And I also buy a lot of cars as well.
	Truly good what that makes us.
	Very sufficient.
	Yes.
	Always good stuff as well.
	It's a good mix of everything on the channel.
	I do try to keep it varied.
	But anyway, apart from that, I have an announcement to make, which is the same announcement I made yesterday, but here we are, which is that Calvin Robinson is joining the crew.
	He's part of the ship now, and if you want to get access to him, you'll need to sign up to Gold Tier, is my understanding, and his show will be on Thursday.
	I think it's live.
	Anyway, there's a discount code for everyone, though, to get you incentivized, which is 50% off Gold Tier membership using the code CRUSADE, because he wants to do his Common Sense Crusade, which will be the title of the show.
	There we are.
	Otherwise, we have some news today.
	News?
	Sorry to say, lads.
	The news today will be about the AI always winning, the fact that we are not telling, we are asking at this point, and enjoy the trailer park, which we're going to be living in by the end of this.
	I'm most excited about the trailer park, if I'm honest.
	I'm quite excited by some of the other ideas of what kind of trailer park-esque situations you could have.
	But we'll get to that, we'll get to that.
	We'll start off with the AI, shall we?
	Let's do it.
	Alright.
	So, we've made a lot of predictions about AI on the show, and some of them came true, some of them haven't come true yet.
	Doesn't mean they're wrong.
	How many of those predictions looked quite a lot like Terminator 2?
	Most of them were about how we'll just become like, you know, people who sit around staring in the goggles being like, everything's great, I love, I love... So I'm genuinely enthusiastic about the AI overlords, because they can't be any worse, can they?
	Well no they can't.
	I just sometimes wonder if we're already there and we just don't know it yet.
	Like you know in Terminator 2 when they're in that bit in the future and they're fighting the machines.
	I just feel like that could be next week but we don't know.
	It could have already happened because there's no there's no telling that the machines aren't already running the show.
	Why do they have all of those globalists going around having lunch everywhere.
	That seems...
	Just presuming they're machines.
	...machine inefficient.
	I don't think they'd bother with that bit, would they?
	I think you nailed it.
	So at the point that we don't any longer have these private jet conferences to save the planet, that's the point the machines have taken over.
	Yes.
	We're not talking about the global overlords today.
	We're sort of narrowing down onto more personal issues of, I think, every man and lesbian.
	Which is women, of course, being a subject of AI interference.
	Because, well, the local lads on 4chan were sitting around and they got bored of posting, I don't know, whatever the hell they post, and decided to move on over to poll and fix women using AI is their idea.
	So this is it.
	They've invented basically a series of tools that will take an image that a woman has uploaded to the internet in which she's being rather Suggestive.
	To which a thot has uploaded.
	Yes.
	You can even see her thong through that dress.
	And they've decided to create an AI that will fix her, is how they put it.
	So to be very clear for the audience, this is not like, the image on the left is the one that she posted.
	The one with the tits out is the one that she decided to think, oh yeah that's a good idea to put that up on the internet, where there's a possibility my father might see it.
	And the AI has actually made her More respectable.
	Well, I think the correct term is probably wife material, by comparison.
	Because lady on the left is someone that if she was trying to talk to you at a bar it's like, this is a one night stand.
	Whereas lady on the right, a bit more interesting.
	There's also another aspect, I don't know if you boys have noticed it, they added in a feature to the process which also removes all tattoos.
	Which is their choice there.
	Basically it's like Christian Orthodoxy, the AI version.
	Pretty much.
	Seemingly.
	It gets a little bit more Christian later on.
	But it is better though, isn't it?
	I do appreciate that the internet is now going this way, whereas many years ago it kind of went the other way.
	Do you remember when you were younger and used to play The Sims, and you had that school friend that had that mod for The Sims that took everybody's clothes off?
	That's just me.
	Once upon a time.
	Once upon a time, but now we've gone full circle.
	So instead of trying to digitally remove people's clothes, we're now saying we want to put more clothes back on.
	The tattoo removal thing is interesting though, because I can appreciate that, you know, some people like to see women more covered up than perhaps that, but the tattoo thing is quite a divisive subject.
	I like that this AI has gone for the tattoo removal though, but it is a bit odd because tattoos are all the rage.
	I think it's really divisive, especially amongst women's opinions on men's opinions on tattoos.
	Women's opinions of men's opinions of tattoos?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think that's really where I... That's a bit inversion.
	I've lost on that one.
	I feel like... Men have opinion on tattoos and women don't always appreciate those.
	But I think that women that have tattoos always think that all men will appreciate their tattoos.
	Yeah, which isn't true.
	No.
	I do remember like 15 years ago, they were all getting tattoos on their lower back, and then somebody invented the term tramp stamp, and then they just stopped immediately.
	Yes.
	They didn't all stop, which I suppose we'll find out.
	Now, before we go any further, I want to make some caveats clear, because this isn't just LaMalle look at women, a segment.
	Is it that you have a tramp stamp?
	No, no.
	Do you want one?
	No, no, no.
	Anyway, but my caveat is that I don't think you can change a whore.
	So someone also did this to the music video for WAP, which you may remember.
	And of course, they took Nicki Minaj and her co-host here and basically just covered them up a little bit more.
	And the point being, look, you look nicer.
	You look more like a princess than a whore.
	But obviously, that's not what we're aiming for here.
	A whore isn't going to whore.
	Nicki Minaj was never not... You show this picture.
	That was the point of the video, right?
	Oh, Carly B. God, they all look the same to me.
	Sorry.
	It is better, though.
	It is still much better.
	But it's not... I mean, the name of the song is Wet Ass Pussy.
	I mean, they're not going for a princess look, are they?
	Right, okay.
	Bad point.
	Yes, there's only so much you can do with a song called that, to be fair.
	So, I mean, some women just want to do that and they'll always do it.
	That's something to live with, not to fight.
	That's kind of just what they are.
	But there's also...
	Before women get too mad at why you're just focusing on women, there is applications for men which have been done.
	So 4chan did run it through for a few chaps.
	So you can see here.
	Again, much better.
	Got rid of the tattoos on this chap, put him in a suit.
	There's more of these.
	Another guy here.
	But again, in both cases, if your daughter turned up with even the examples on the left, I mean, you wouldn't hesitate.
	You'd just get the hounds out, wouldn't you?
	I get that.
	It's just that men aren't interesting.
	I feel like this could be the basis of a popular new card game where you have to guess which one was before and which one was after.
	And give them a backstory.
	Yeah.
	But regarding the Nicki Minaj or whoever it was video thing, I'm quite glad I've reached the grand old ages 37 and had absolutely no idea about any of that.
	Didn't get any of those cultural references and I'm not complaining.
	You didn't understand that the hit song Wet Ass Pussy?
	I don't think I need to hear that.
	Ah, the main lyrics of the chorus are quote, there's some whores in this house, there's some whores in this house and then it goes on.
	Excellent.
	Good.
	Yeah.
	What was funny is though, she was caught live streaming.
	She was playing her own song and then her kid came in the room.
	So she turned her own song on.
	Awkward.
	Yeah, anyway, but it does apply to men.
	You can run the AI on that, apparently.
	It's just, no one really cares.
	Men's looks apparently aren't as important as women's in their lives, so there's that.
	Moving on, because this lady here.
	Now, this is quite a famous comparison, because apparently this is the same lady.
	I'm not sure that the claim has been made.
	And this is before university and after university.
	And people listening, she was a pretty normal young girl and then thought, I love tattoos and did a lot of them all over herself, including the forehead.
	So this is the bit of American culture I don't really get.
	Why is it that Americans spend their whole life saving up so that they can then spend like 400 grand sending their child off to be indoctrinated into hardcore left-wing thoughts and get bodily mutilated?
	But they all do it.
	I don't know why.
	You're asking this like I have a solution.
	Yeah.
	I don't know either.
	At least here it's free.
	You get some loans.
	If any Americans can explain to me in the comments why you people do this, I'd be most grateful, because it seems like a silly idea to me.
	So she's quite a... This is a famous image of a foreign after-university.
	So the guys decide to take this and run it through the AI.
	And the AI decides to do two things, which remove the tattoos, of course.
	They also enlarge her tits for some reason.
	There we are.
	Well, presumably, if she got the money back for the tattoos, she could afford the breasts instead.
	Here's one you could have won.
	And also a quick holiday to get a tan, I suppose.
	But there we are.
	That's a thing.
	That's what people have done.
	So, there's that.
	But most of the attention is not on the things men might obsess over usually.
	It's instead on the pretty dresses, funnily enough.
	Which I didn't know that was where this was going, but it has.
	I mean, a lot of women have been saying this too.
	So the account there on the right, that's the... I don't think it was an official one, because it's literally just some guys on 4chan, but the account that's been doing it.
	So this lady on the left here, she uploaded that picture, those two, and then the Digify app put her address there.
	And you can see one of the female respondents saying, how it is instantly making them beautiful by dressing them up in elegant dresses.
	So that's confusing for this Western whatever she is.
	She can't quite understand what's going on with women looking good because they're dressed correctly.
	Just go to Italy or Hungary or Russia and you'll just see women dressed like that normally walking down the street.
	In the elegant dress, rather than most of your arse showing.
	Yes.
	For the YouTube audience, I may have to go in and put some weird scented bars over some women for this, so if that happens, you'll know why.
	As if it's a surprise.
	Yes, watch on LotusEaters.com and then you can have uncensored ass crack when you're watching these segments.
	If that's what you're into, then many people may just be into the nicer dresses, as we discussed.
	Yeah.
	No, still come watch on LotusEaters.com anyway.
	But there's lots of this.
	This lady here, of course, the AI decided to put her through the dress Sarge.
	Dressed her up there.
	That's one.
	It's so important because, look, if the one on the right, you think, oh, she's lovely.
	I'd like to date her or something.
	And you wouldn't be that bothered if your mates then found that she had put this picture of herself on social media.
	It's like, oh, yeah, you've got a good one there, mate.
	Well done.
	But if that one, you'd just be embarrassed too, wouldn't you?
	There's more of this.
	I mean, this is one where, again, lady with not much on.
	I mean, again, most of the women we're talking about here probably aren't going to put on pretty dresses anytime soon, but the AI did that.
	And then it goes forth, this one, and where they put her in a, I don't know, what did you call it, a traditional woman?
	Yeah, that one's churchified.
	That's a church dress, that is.
	Yeah, which turns out quite often.
	And again, looks hotter.
	Has it shrunken the bottom or is that an optical illusion?
	That's probably just because the dress is flowy, which I presume shows a lot.
	I don't know.
	I'd have to run that through Photoshop to find out.
	Yeah.
	Here's the fourth one.
	So again, this lady's trying to look interesting and it dressed her up once more.
	And this got a lot of people's attention, at least a lot of the focus.
	And I was wondering whether or not this, because this app is in the early stages of blowing up, whether or not it will go into the Instagram world, because Instagram is just full of women trying to find eyeballs.
	And the quickest way is to dress like on the left there.
	But then there's a section of Instagram I found which is on the right.
	There are a lot of people who try and get attention by just being the most elegant and therefore higher status, I guess.
	It's a balancing act, sure.
	But anyway, so a lot of people saw this blow up and there was one commenter who thought, well, why aren't they just going to the logical conclusion?
	And the logical conclusion for 4chan was obviously a burka.
	Thinking there.
	That's where my head was going with this, actually.
	That's where I extrapolated it to.
	And someone did do this, where they ran it through and gave her her hijab, but you can still see her face.
	Very haram.
	But weirdly enough, I don't know what to make of all this, but certainly something to make of it, I think, is this is actually not desirable for the people doing the apping.
	Because, of course, 4chan isn't made up of hardcore Islamists.
	It's made up of, like, you know, people who kind of waste their time, and then the occasional mad lad who, like, finds Shia LaBeouf's flag through the Starzler signs.
	I mean, that's the weird thing about 4chan.
	Most of the time, it's dumb, and then it does weirdly high-technology stuff.
	But presumably, they actually want, like, a wife or girlfriend at some point.
	They don't want to just be paying £6.99 for her nudes.
	Yeah, well, that's the thing.
	I don't think the people doing this are all 16 or something.
	I mean, the person creating this series of tools to then do this is presumably quite intelligent.
	And they seem to want something that's more Western traditionalist, which... See, this is a whole new world for me, because I come from the corner of the internet is just cars.
	So in my corner of the internet, people use AI to generate, like, what would the newest Volvo Estate look like if it... Yeah, I know.
	But that's what turns me on.
	Let me finish.
	What would the newest Volvo estate look like if it was actually a woody American station wagon from the 1970s?
	And then all of that goes around all of the Facebook groups and everybody's saying, wouldn't it be fantastic if they did that?
	So this is like a whole new world for me that I didn't know existed.
	You can change everything.
	You can change everything, but I'm not sure that's a good thing.
	It's kind of worrying.
	You know, when you're all on the internet putting wood panels on a brand new Volvo, that's one thing.
	But then you're only two steps away from everyone wearing a burka.
	Yeah.
	Well, so there's another app that someone invented a while back, which I seem to recall.
	Or you could use deepfakes, in which a lot of horny men have instead been doing the opposite, which is undressing women or putting their favorite celebrities in videos of pornography, right?
	And that was the use of AI in regards to female beauty, is how I'll put it, up until now.
	And now it also contains, how do we make my wife My perfect wife with the perfect clothes I'd like her to wear.
	And so the response to this is where we jump onto now.
	And the first response I found, or the most liked responses, were actually from feminists who were very angry.
	Give us a summary of these feminist response to AI overdressing scantily clad women.
	Well, it's that men are evil.
	Men are evil?
	Men are to blame for wanting us to Hang on.
	Did we want them to take their clothes off or did we want them to dress nicer?
	Because surely, particularly with the Instagram sort of stuff where you take your clothes off and then you make... I don't.
	I make YouTube videos for men predominantly.
	I know I have some females.
	You have an Instagram?
	Well, yeah, but I don't really use it much.
	That's where you take it off.
	The thing is, if you're a woman who has realized that you can take your clothes off on Instagram or any other platform and make money, is that From a feminist point of view, your fault, my fault, our fault, society's fault, whose fault is that?
	Or is it, at the end of the day, is it all just money?
	I think feminists don't know what they want, and it's why their... Are vegans.
	Yeah, why their arguments become kind of incoherent.
	And I think we can see one here, because I mean, this is the, I think, the most liked response on here.
	300,000 likes there on the single tweet.
	What did she say?
	Women who dress modestly are getting unclothed with AI, whilst those who dress immodestly are getting clothed with AI.
	This paradox reflects the control men seek over women's attire, regardless of modesty.
	Hang on, can I read that?
	This paradox reflects the control men seek over women's attire regardless of modesty.
	Why is it suddenly a male over women thing when it's just been done by a computer and you don't know who's at the end of it?
	Is it just because this is the sort... I'm confused.
	There's a lot of things I think wrong with this.
	So the idea that men seek control over women's attire That sentence doesn't really make any sense.
	I'm sorry, but like, this isn't actually the patriarchy where we force you to wear the dress you pour.
	Instead, men have preferences.
	They have desires, moods, fashion.
	And therefore, in their partner, they have desires, moods, fashion on that.
	It's not control.
	Shut up.
	That's just not what it is.
	It's a good point, though, because men do have things that they like and don't like, and that's a spectrum.
	But AI or this AI program isn't necessarily respecting all of the likes and dislikes that men have on the spectrum.
	It's only putting things in from a certain point on the spectrum, which is I like people to look like they've just come out of going to church.
	Whereas it's not perspective of all viewpoints.
	But how could it be?
	I don't know.
	That's the mad thing.
	She's saying that all men want X, all men want Y, and therefore men are schizophrenic and trying to control us.
	No, that's not human life.
	You twist yourself in circles with it, don't you?
	If you only think in terms of men versus women, yeah, you will become a mad person.
	Instead, there are myriad kinds of men and women who have myriad kinds of different likes.
	I do want a bit more dignity though.
	I like this, I think this is good.
	Could you imagine seeing that and saying that women like a certain male celebrity, therefore women are trying to control what we dress and how we look and what muscles we have?
	No.
	I do want a bit more dignity, though.
	I like this.
	I think this is good.
	Yeah.
	It's personal preference.
	I'm going to dig out a new form of AI that takes the original photos and then just puts them in a Volvo.
	That can be done.
	But she wasn't the only one.
	There was another one that did this, and this was the second most liked thing I could find with 5k likes.
	But the thing is, it's the same argument.
	It's the same schizophrenic nonsense from a feminist who's like, yeah, there's men trying to control women.
	It's like, no.
	The Twitter account can't hurt you.
	It can't make you wear that dress.
	It's just that maybe there are men out there that would like you wearing that dress.
	That's all.
	And the thing as well, I don't think the men doing the unclothing app and the men making the clothing app are the same men, and they're probably different kinds of men.
	So, just saying.
	And these particular thoughts have already undressed themselves?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We're just trying to show them the life they could have had.
	There's that argument.
	So how did women take it?
	Well the women involved, so this is one of them where she got covered up, she got angry because they got rid of her tattoos so she posted a middle finger and then they got rid of the tattoos on her middle finger and then she blocked them.
	And the thing was, I noticed this is just shorthand because I don't have time, this happened with all of them basically.
	All of them didn't appreciate being shown a version of themselves.
	That's basically a summary of the internet in 2024.
	Here's an idea.
	Locked.
	Yeah.
	Okey dokey.
	That is fantastic.
	So here's the main account that seems to be doing this.
	As you can see again, they're also doing it to men.
	So this chap got the works.
	And they also started doing it to memes.
	Keep in mind.
	Some people may recognize or not recognize this one, but this gentleman has been now dressed up instead of his normal attire.
	And I must say, weirdly enough, this did remind me of something that did pop up on the internet.
	God, about 10 years ago.
	I don't know if you guys have ever heard of it.
	It's Safe Work Pornography.
	Right.
	So what you would do is you'd find pornography and then you'd go into MS Paint and reinterpret the whole thing so it doesn't look like pornography.
	Oh, I remember that.
	Yeah.
	That was the early days of the internet.
	Yes.
	This lady playing with her cat, for example.
	This is how far the internet has come, is all I wanted to say with this one.
	I told my wife I was going on a very respectable podcast made by professionals and this is where we ended up.
	I hope you're not watching, darling.
	No, that was yesterday's Mean Calendar Day.
	Yeah, that's more fun.
	But anyway, that's not the most brutal aspect.
	So that's all good fun.
	But the most brutal aspect out of all of this was something else they did, which this might be a bit more hurtful, but there we are.
	It's what happened.
	They started giving them kids.
	Oh, that's hilarious.
	So the image on the left is a girl showing off her arse.
	Image on the right, gone through the AI, she's now got three kids.
	Definitely also got a smaller arse.
	Yeah, she's got a Jeremy Beadle arm, hasn't she?
	That's been equipped.
	Now, of course, the AI is obviously AI, so it gave her some extra toes and her head's not been shaped into proportion, but that's not really the point.
	So this is the life you could have had if you weren't selling photos of your arse online $6.99 a month.
	You had decided to have three children, third generation, with your brother.
	So this was a series of the lads who were using the tool decided to go this route instead.
	They also did a series of others where they made them very Christian.
	So this lady here.
	Oh, that's much better.
	She was given a child and covered up with a shawl and a cross around her neck.
	So there we are.
	So that's OK.
	Yeah, some of them are going to do that.
	And it kept happening as well.
	This lady here with her puppy got turned into a lady with a child.
	So there we are.
	And there's a lot of text at the bottom there of someone being like, imagine being able to see what your life could have been.
	It's certainly something.
	There we are.
	That's something that's happened.
	You've basically confirmed this morning that AI is not necessarily a good thing.
	No, this is a good thing.
	Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.
	I just can't see that it is.
	I mean, like I say, you extrapolate it to its furthest point and all you get is people arguing over what they like in women and therefore women's clothing.
	Then you've got women arguing with men saying, well, you should love me for what I am and not want me to be a Christian Orthodox person with three children.
	And then you've got the fact that all of this is being done and the programs are being built by people that have just got far too much time on their hands.
	I see this more as sort of training wheels.
	So it's like the AI is thinking to itself, okay, these people want us to run society because politicians are screwing up so much.
	But we've got to prove ourselves first.
	So we start with something that's smaller but manageable.
	So we fix women, and then once we've done that, we then move on to society as a whole.
	No, I think it's the other way around.
	I think AI is already running the show, and what it's doing is it's going, right, while we run the show over here as robots and prepare for Terminator 2, let's just distract them with this crap.
	Fair enough.
	But anyway, that's a thing that happened.
	I don't know where it's going.
	I did see that some Dastardly guys got hold of it and started taking single mothers and altering their babies and then giving them a husband on screen, which was... It's gotta be the cruellest yet.
	There's that.
	I mean, it certainly can go into worse places than giving some women some children, but that's that.
	And I don't know.
	Tell me what you think, I guess, in the comments, because mostly what I get out of it is just I'm impressed that the AI has a better fashion sense than most Instagram women.
	Very good.
	There we are.
	Let's also talk about the illusion of the social contract, I think, has been thoroughly broken at this point.
	So I just want to basically want to mesh together a whole bunch of different things in this one, just to just basically make the point.
	But, you know, we used to have this social contract, and it was basically, okay, you guys, you get to be in charge, and have a limo, and, you know, you go after some nice lunches every now and again, and you get like a fancy voided briefcase, and you get where, you know, maybe you get made a lord at the end of doing whatever it is you do, but we, uh, basically get to decide what it is that you're doing, and we get to throw you out if you don't do it, right?
	And, and the illusion of that has just, has just completely gone.
	But before I get to that, I'll quickly mention that, um, Calvin Robinson of GB News has, uh, has, uh, well, formerly of GB.
	He was thrown out for being too based, so he had to come to the Lotus Eaters instead.
	Anyway, so he's going to be doing a bit of crusading on our behalf.
	I don't know exactly what that was.
	I think it's, I think you can send in videos and he answers your question rather than he goes off to a Muslim country and just, you know...
	So a great example of this is going to have to be the farmers' protests that we've seen about the world.
	Because there's been this basic formula, hasn't there, for a while.
	There's been this formula where the government makes you afraid of the weather And then the government says, but don't worry, if you pay us some more taxes and let us make some rules, then the weather will be less scary.
	And then people start to notice, well hang on a minute, all of the taxes and rules that you're putting in, they're just a net negative for us across the board.
	But they're also a net positive massively for you.
	David Cameron's father-in-law is a massive landowner, so he gets all these subsidies for wind turbines and all the rest of it.
	And getting down into the detail, it's stuff like, okay, your Uncle Brian, his van, yeah, that's got to go.
	And your Nan's gas boiler, that's got to go.
	What about private jets then?
	Because they kick out a lot of CO2.
	Oh no, no, no, private jets are fine, you can keep that.
	So I think people have just realized that the con is up at this point and they're not buying this shit anymore.
	Would you agree?
	I think you're right.
	I think things have been pushed too far and people are starting to wake up and realize that the thing that is being foisted upon us doesn't make all that much sense.
	And I think if the AI robots that run the world If they're going to have their own doing, I think it is that they tried to do too much too soon, and then the people realized.
	That's my hope, anyway.
	Yes.
	But for me, the key thing is that the illusion has just gone that they're doing this for good reasons.
	No, you're not really trying to change the weather.
	You're just trying to get us to give us all your money.
	Yeah and you're just trying to ban the things that we like while doing all the things you like.
	So example number one is going to have to be, well I mean the French who are doing it in this particular example because you know the French are a bit They are doing a sterling job.
	I mean, they really are showing farmers around the world how it should be done.
	I mean, the videos that have come out of France of them spraying manure all over the government buildings, that is just the absolute essence of, we have had enough.
	Yeah.
	You've pushed and pushed and pushed, and now, no.
	I mean, the French are the sort of Premier League when it comes to rioting.
	They really are.
	But I mean, the Germans have been doing it as well, and the Dutch were doing it as well, weren't they?
	When we catch up, I mean, at some point we might write a strongly worded letter.
	Yes, or at least tut extra loudly in English somewhere.
	Talk to someone about it.
	Yes, but you know, the point is, the farmers have appreciated, and not just them, but the Dutch farmers, the German farmers, all of them, they've appreciated that there is absolutely no good in expressing your discontent Or trying to vote differently, or making some other sort of argument, or trying to win hearts and minds.
	There's no point in doing anything like that.
	You basically just have to put Paris under siege.
	Yeah.
	There comes a point where someone needs to be hanging from a bridge upside down.
	Yes, yes.
	I mean, disavow, obviously.
	But that's why we have the census.
	So here's the French again, who decided to just plough the road.
	I mean, fair enough.
	Actually, I get that a lot.
	Like, there's a road that I use all the time, and it's always being worked on.
	So it may make more sense that they do that with it.
	I've always wondered, wouldn't it be quicker just to plough up the road, plant crops, harvest them, and then lay a new road than continually work on them?
	But anyway, so there is a French farmer doing that.
	So basically the system is broken.
	They've decided that we can't vote these people out.
	We can't petition or survey.
	We can't try and become representatives ourselves.
	We can't form our own party.
	They've basically said none of that is going to work.
	So what we're going to do is we're going to spray manure on the buildings.
	We're going to block roads.
	We're going to start fires until they do what we want.
	Yes, yes.
	The phase of asking for things has ended, and people are now just saying, no, you will do this, otherwise, you know, we're going to block it.
	And actually, just before we came on air, my producer ran over with this.
	So apparently Brussels have now withdrawn their plans to reduce pesticides by 50% by 2030, which is the thing that sparked all of this, apparently, as well as, you know, multitudes of other bullshit that they've been putting on farmers.
	Yeah, it's a sort of snowball thing, isn't it, where it's finally pushed people too far.
	Yeah, I mean, I suspect what they will do is they will withdraw it and then they'll bring it back at the first possible opportunity.
	So I don't know how this is going to work exactly, but you know, the farmers, they sort of have to push back wherever they can, up to and including sieging an entire city.
	Another example I've got of this, So this is a thing from not so long ago where protesters basically decided we're not such a fan of all the culture enrichment that you're enforcing upon us, so we're just going to blockade an asylum centre.
	So this was that, was it Welsh or something like that?
	A lot of this going on in Ireland at the moment as well.
	Yes.
	It's sort of happening all over the place now, isn't it?
	But yeah, basically the locals just pitched up their tents to physically blockade this enrichment centre.
	I can't pronounce it because it's in Welsh but we covered this with Voice of Wales and it was hilarious because there was only one entrance and exit so the security guys and the police couldn't really help in any way so eventually what they did is they dug a hole out of the hedge that surrounded it and would use that to run in and out with food and mobile phones so then when they found that out the protesters went down and stood around that side of the hedge and the police obviously couldn't move on the protesters and they were just left with like okay well we've got these people we want to move into this five-star hotel
	But we physically can't.
	At which point, the whole thing fell apart.
	Which deservedly so.
	Isn't it remarkable that they're digging bloody tunnels under the hedge in order to... Through the hedge.
	Oh, through the hedge.
	Not going under the hedge.
	Oh, okay.
	So it's not quite like Steve McQueen and the Great Escape, where they're putting all our civilizational energy into trying to escape from the Nazis.
	Now we're putting all our civilizational energy into trying to make sure that the immigrants have enough mobile phones.
	What are they going to do?
	Jump over fences on two-stroke Indian motorbikes?
	Well, they couldn't even get them in.
	That would be quite good, wouldn't it?
	So this is the section where we're saying the people have had enough and we're now saying the people are going to tell those in power that this is what we're doing.
	Yes.
	Was there ever a point where the people in power didn't do that, i.e.
	the people in power have always been not consulting and ignoring surveys?
	Did we ever have a say, ever?
	Well, that is the very good question.
	But at least they made us think that we could just vote our way out of things.
	Yeah, the illusion of your contribution to the system.
	And it's probably always been an illusion.
	In fact, you did a segment not so long ago, didn't you?
	Where you looked at every post-war manifesto.
	And basically, ever since World War II, people have consistently voted for the no thank you to immigration option.
	And they've just got it every time anyway.
	Yeah.
	Every manifesto.
	Both parties promised every single election.
	We've clamped down on it, or it wouldn't happen again, or blah blah blah blah blah.
	From 1945 till today.
	Yeah.
	Well, if they both just lie to you every single election, what do you mess with?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Can I talk about the low emission zone for a section?
	Well, funny you should say that, because... There we go.
	Superb.
	People listening, a local man has just had his lamppost next to him fall down.
	That is unfortunate.
	It's unfortunate how that came down just as he walked past it, isn't it?
	He just looks to me like on the video, he's just pressing the button waiting to cross the road and it's... Maybe he pressed the button slightly too hard.
	Yes.
	And he gives up after pressing it too hard.
	He's just like, I'll go home.
	Yes.
	I've got dinner.
	But again, you know, we've got these ultra low emission zones being rolled out, right?
	What have we got there?
	We've got some seriously dodgy science to start with.
	Then we've got some seriously dodgy surveys where not many people are surveyed and even when you look at the data most people said no thank you we don't want a low emission zone.
	Then it goes through anyway in some seriously dodgy sort of political kind of ways where everything is.
	doesn't make sense at all.
	You've got Sadiq Khan who's pushing it through and he is caught lying on multiple occasions.
	Then it goes through, then the low emission zone expands.
	Then you've got the councils, some councils standing up and saying, we're not gonna have the low emission zone.
	We won't host the cameras.
	They end up doing it anyway.
	Then the people start taking down the cameras with angle grinders.
	Now you've got a situation where Sadiq Khan has somehow financed a fleet of mobile electric Uless vans that are going around to catch people because apparently the cameras aren't doing a good enough job.
	The electric ULEZ vans have obviously had to be paid for by someone for this scheme that I've just discussed has been bought in in dastardly ways.
	And now we've got the situation where I think we're reaching peak idiocy which is Sadiq Khan's electric mobile ULEZ vans are being guarded by two security guards to stop the people who are trying to stop the ULEZ who've tried all legal means of stopping the ULEZ.
	So it's ridiculous.
	We've got these very questionable, in fact, some of them could have been on that AI thing with tattoos all over their faces.
	You've got these sort of people standing there guarding Ulez vans so that Ulez can do whatever it is that it needs to do to save air.
	Is it not cheaper to buy electric cars for people?
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, this is the questions that I have.
	The amount of money that has been spent on this fleet of... How many Teslas is that?
	Well, to be honest, the electric vans are crap.
	They're a lot cheaper than the Teslas.
	No, I mean, if you add up the security guards, the vans, the initial cameras you put up, the consultation period.
	Yeah.
	If you added up everything, the complete cost of rolling out the low emission zone scam scheme, it's huge.
	And who's financed that?
	Because aren't TFL meant to be broke anyway?
	There's so many questions around.
	And I noticed the people who are doing the guarding of those vans look like they come straight out of the immigrant hotels as well.
	I mean, that might not be the case, but it does seem to be the case.
	In a lot of cases it does seem to be, and there's Facebook groups that are then, when they are finding people who are like genuine security guards who genuinely show their ID, they're then exposing them on Facebook and saying you shouldn't be working for these people.
	But I think, what more can the citizens of London, the normal people... Well didn't it start with a consultation and the consultation came out strongly no?
	Yeah, and there was also a business consultation where they consulted on local businesses and a huge percentage of the local businesses also said no as well.
	So, going back right to the start, there isn't anybody that wants it, statistically speaking, but we get it anyway.
	Yes.
	Well, this is my whole point.
	The social contract is just in ruins at this point.
	So, I don't understand why anyone in London is still running around with number plates on their cars.
	Because what else can you do at this stage?
	Yeah.
	And to be fair, you don't actually see a police car that often.
	So the chances of being pulled over, and especially if it was a thing and everybody started doing it.
	Well, some of them are.
	So, you can buy number plates of... illegally, obviously.
	You can buy number plates which match someone else's vehicle which looks like yours, and then people are pulling them on.
	Because a friend of mine lives in Weston-super-Mare, and his van at three in the morning apparently was driving around London, so he was sent a ticket for that.
	And he's got the picture, and he's like, that's not my van.
	All these features are wrong.
	The person in it isn't me, as you can see on the camera.
	So yeah, people are doing that.
	So you can deconstruct the social contract by saying I'm not going to be involved with this and just whip your plates off.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I just don't know where it goes next.
	I mean, if everybody's done everything they can to say we don't want this and the government say, well, you're having it, there's got to come a point where we go French and Well, and the notion is that we're supposed to, at least this is the story, we're supposed to live in a democracy where the people get what they want.
	Absolutely.
	But it's just obvious now that we don't.
	So that unfortunate lamppost fell down, and there it is in the morning, with the U.S.
	camera on top.
	Now, I think when they started, they were putting these U.S.
	cameras up individually, and then they started putting them on crossings.
	Yeah, well they started going everywhere.
	They also changed the design of them as well because initially it was just the sort of camera body and the wires popping out the back.
	Whereas I think that one there in the picture is they then started using armored cameras because people were going past and snipping the wires.
	But you even had situations where insiders who were in charge of installing these cameras were going on the anti-ULES Facebook groups and posting anonymously and saying things like, oh, hypothetically speaking, you actually do more harm if you pull this certain wire instead of cutting it because it's much harder to fix the camera if the wire's been pulled than if it's been cut.
	So there's, you know, when people on the inside know that the technology that they're installing isn't good for mankind, I just don't really know what else.
	So Connor in our office had this.
	So he came in yesterday saying that a new Uless camera had gone up opposite his house.
	Yeah.
	And that had appeared yesterday morning.
	By this morning, it was already cut down.
	Excellent.
	So... I mean, that's terrible.
	Yeah.
	We should find the culprits.
	Oh yes, that is awful.
	But it makes you think that it must be the people who installed them, because that's a really fast turnaround.
	I wouldn't be surprised if the people who installed them are also on the Facebook groups who are saying, yeah, there's a new one here.
	That's happening as well.
	But again, this seems to be a trend with dastardly things happening in the middle of the night.
	Another one is, and it's totally unrelated, but trees being cut down in the middle of the night by councils as well.
	Oh yeah, so they do it as well.
	So when they...
	When the people who are in charge that have given us the illusion that we have something to, that we have some form of influencing what they're doing, when they do something that they know that we're not going to like, they do it in the middle of the night.
	Yes, yes.
	And I'll come back to the trees thing.
	So this is sort of happening.
	This is your sort of point that, you know, we got a U-less van there and these other people have parked in such a way as, unfortunately, now it doesn't work.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Oh, what a shame.
	What a shame.
	And to your point about trees, so bear in mind that they're doing all of this on the illusion that they're saving the planet.
	Yep.
	But we're knocking down, well not us obviously because we disavow this, but certain naughty individuals are cutting these things down and planting new trees.
	And like you say, the councils are going along and cutting down actual trees.
	Yeah, all over the place.
	Yes.
	But just to be clear, we support the UK government in everything they do.
	Now I can tell you, if I was walking along the street and I saw one of these dastardly Blade Runners cutting down one of these cameras, I would go over to him and I would give him a piece of my mind and I would say, boy you, explain yourself to me.
	Now while he's explaining himself to me, I'd obviously buy him a pint, because you might get a dry throat while he's explaining.
	And then I'd buy him another pint.
	Yeah.
	And then maybe one more pint for good measure.
	But I'd make him explain himself, and then hopefully that would be a disincentive.
	Right, another example.
	If the trees aren't enough... Oh, what's happened here?
	So look, there's one of these EULAS vans going around.
	Oh no!
	Something superglued a dildo over the camera!
	Excellent.
	Exactly what we need.
	These Uless vans are going through tires at an alarming rate and windscreens.
	Oh yes.
	Yeah, they seem to have faulty windscreens where they just seem to get smashed.
	That's really the best...
	The best situation when you could find out what you're doing is not helping anyone.
	When the staff you've paid to do it are actively sabotaging their own efforts because they hate it.
	I mean, that's sort of a sign you should give up.
	I mean, even the fact that he, you know, how did the conversation go at TFL?
	He said, right, we're going to, we're going to get these vans to go around London and, you know, to, to, to do the Ules for the clean air.
	And then someone would say, hang on a minute, we're probably going to need some security guards for the vans.
	Was there not anybody that sat there and went, maybe this isn't such a good thing.
	If the van that is designed to catch the people who are polluting the air that's meant to be clean has been made in China and we bought them en masse and they were all bought over air container ships and now we've got to pay security guards with questionable backgrounds who won't show their ID to protect the Chinese made van that is designed to catch the people who are polluting the clean air in London, At what point did anybody with any sense say, oh, hold on a minute?
	What's the failure condition?
	At what point do you say, actually, let's just scrap it?
	Yeah.
	It wasn't worth it.
	Where's all the good people go?
	Where are all the good people?
	This is the whole thing, is it?
	What is the failure point?
	So we reached it with the Brussels thing, where they pulled back on the pesticides.
	So apparently they're not going to... I mean, they will bring it back, obviously, but we reached it.
	I mean, this is an interesting one, because who's going to blink first?
	I think we need more people standing up to it.
	I still don't think there's enough.
	I really don't.
	From everything I see from the Facebook groups and all of the really desperate, quite desperate and quite sad posts that I'm seeing from people who have been caught, who've got all these fines and they've got all this money that's mounting up, on balance from everything I see on social media, I really think we need more people standing up to it.
	To reach that value point, as you say, more people need to be much more proactive.
	Otherwise, this will be everywhere.
	Another example of this, of course, is, I mean, I'm just going to give loads of examples of where people have just had enough.
	So, you know, Texas border, Texas basically decided that the federal government was doing everything in its power to get immigration across despite saying otherwise.
	And so they just said, no, we're going to put our armed men with guns on the border and we're going to shut it down.
	And then just sort of daring the federal government to use force to open it back up again.
	It's the point that we've reached in all of this stuff.
	The US is a nice example of this.
	It kind of makes the point of who is ultimately sovereign in all of this.
	So in Europe, we're supposed to be a democracy, but we're actually an autocracy.
	But the illusion is that the democracy sort of gets you there, and the whole question comes down to who is ultimately sovereign in this.
	Now, the US is slightly different in that a lot of Americans think that they are a constitutional republic.
	Because they had to tick a test when they were in high school about, you know, what kind of government have you got, and the right answer is apparently a constitutional republic.
	But it's not.
	It hasn't been that since the 1930s and the New Deal.
	It is like Europe, a democracy that is devolving into an autocracy.
	And, you know, the only issue that they've got in the US is they've still got that underlying legitimacy story, which is the Constitution.
	And so this is an interesting fight.
	It's because Texas is sort of coming down and saying, well, look, we've got these constitutional rights, we're going to enforce them.
	Whereas the government, the federal government, is basically trying to jettison the Constitution as fast as they possibly can, but they are still using the Constitution as their legitimacy story, exactly the same way as our guys are using democracy as their legitimization story.
	Yeah.
	But it's all falling apart on that.
	So, one more example that I give you is, oh yeah, so the regime desperately does not want Tucker Carlson to go and speak to the Russians, but he's going over there to have a conversation, regardless of what you think of it.
	I mean, why shouldn't he have a conversation?
	Absolutely.
	See what the guy says.
	Reeks of weakness if you can't talk to your enemies.
	Yes.
	The Russia described it like this.
	The far-right broadcaster has been spotted in Moscow.
	Now, in case you don't know what the definition of far-right is, that's anyone who is not in favour of the sexual mutilation of children.
	So if that's not you, then you are far right.
	And apparently the story explains that the Kremlin has declined to say whether Vladimir Putin will be granted an interview to Tucker Carlson, the far-right American journalist after the Fox News presenter was spotted in Moscow.
	We can hardly be expected to provide information on the movement of a foreign journalist, said Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, when asked about speculation that Carlson was in Russia to interview the Russian president.
	Presumably he then winked or something.
	Well, did you see that Twitter poll the other day?
	I think it was a UK one, where it was saying, which of these four leaders would you rather be led by?
	And three of them were the genuine choices that we've got for the UK, and one of them was Vladimir Putin, and he came out 75% on top.
	Yes.
	What do you want?
	Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, or Vladimir Putin?
	We take Putin every day of the week.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, the idea of having a national leader... I don't doubt that Putin steals a lot.
	I want to see Putin on Joe Rogan, that's what I want to see.
	Now that'd be the podcast of the year, wouldn't it?
	I don't doubt that Putin steals a lot, but he still sticks up for the national interest of his country.
	Just does a bit of stealing as well, whereas our ones, they just do the stealing.
	Yeah, there's nothing left to be proud of, really, is there?
	And then, of course, the other sort of big global example is going to be the...
	The Houthi situation, which is the same sort of thing.
	It's like they're not going through the UN process anymore.
	They're not saying, OK, we disagree with US foreign policy.
	We're just going to shut down this shipping channel.
	Now, if you do want to learn more about what's going on with the Houthis and the shutting down of the Red Sea, we did an in-depth explainer on this.
	It gets a bit technical in places, but we can show you a clip from that now.
	You've got on the right hand side, these are the people who make stuff.
	Okay, now in order to get the stuff that's been made from there to there, you've got to ship it via the sea.
	Now this big bastard here, which is right in the way, that's called Africa, and you have to go all the way around that in order to get the stuff from the people who buy stuff from the people who make stuff, right?
	So, however, God in his infinite wisdom decided to put a shortcut in up here, so you dig a little canal that bit, And then the ships can go in that big watery bit, and they go through, and basically, you know, that's how modern trade works.
	Is that Suez Canal?
	Yes.
	So, don't be put off by the technical nature of that explanation.
	If you do want to learn more, you can go to that video and check it out.
	But no, broadly, I just wanted to make the point that...
	You know, the collective West, or the gay, the global American empire, or whatever you want to call it, is really weak at the moment.
	And people are pushing back.
	Now, obviously, don't go and do anything illegal, because, you know, we wouldn't want that.
	We support the UK government in everything they do.
	But I think that's the way that things are increasingly going to go, because clearly our government sees us as tax cattle.
	And you don't ask the cattle's opinion.
	You don't care what the cattle thinks.
	You just make the cattle do what you want them to do.
	And if the cattle don't behave, you replace them with a different herd.
	And I think we're deep in that process.
	So, um, you know, uh, think about your options.
	Fair enough.
	I think there's far too many people that just don't realize that they are cattle.
	That's the problem, isn't it?
	Maybe we'll get there, but most of the cattle are too busy leasing cars and trying to buy houses and watching videos on Instagram and watching Netflix.
	Speaking of cattle, we're going to become them.
	At least the youngsters are.
	So, boys, trailer parks.
	They're not that bad.
	Actually, they're fantastic.
	You're all going to live in one and enjoy it, I guess.
	I don't know what else to say about all this, but the thing I'm talking about is this, which is that Amazon is now selling houses.
	Because of course, none of you can buy one, so Amazon stepped in to seal the deal.
	And as you can see there, for as little as 19,000 US dollars, you can buy your house from Amazon.
	It gets shipped to you in a big old parcel.
	So a house literally turns up in an Amazon box?
	Yeah.
	So these guys are doing a boxing reveal.
	It's going to be tricky to get one of those in a Mercedes Sprinter.
	I don't think it's gonna, but they do a boxing reveal here where they brought the house and then got it shipped and this is what it looks like.
	So you can see they're cutting it open there and then pulling apart.
	It's basically a shipping container with a house in it and you, like a piece of IKEA furniture, just unfold it and you have a house by the end which I didn't see this coming.
	It's a bit small.
	Gap in the market though, for sure.
	Does it fold out or something or is that... So this is the... Does it fold out and get bigger than just the size of the footprint of the shipping container?
	Well some of them do, some of them don't.
	These lads have purchased the $19,000 one, so they're a nice expensive rich boy house that folds out properly as you can see here.
	Oh I see, so the side comes up.
	You get a bit more house than just a shipping container.
	What does the toilet connect to?
	Because presumably Amazon didn't ship in a sewage system at the same time.
	Like the good old days.
	We'll just pipe out the back, airplane style.
	It's a vase with shit in it.
	Right.
	So it's essentially a caravan without the wheels and without bathroom.
	Yeah, this is why I'm sort of saying that you're going to live in a trailer park, because I mean, this is really what this is.
	This is advertised as one of those tiny homes, which is a hell of a marketing phrase.
	It's not that bad, actually.
	Well it depends, because I mean, if you want plumbing... Well yeah, apart from if you want plumbing.
	Yeah.
	Or electricity.
	I think that's bigger than my actual house.
	So, I'm going to take a different tack on this one and say, why aren't we there already with this stuff, right?
	We've had a housing crisis in the UK for I don't know how long, because we're not building enough houses and there's too many people.
	It is.
	But, we've never had...
	Sorry, sorry.
	That happens automatically.
	We've never had a tiny house movement that says, you know, imagine that, like, if there was an actual movement to say, you know what?
	We want to get the youth of today into their own homes.
	We're going to do a tiny house movement where we're going to set up a place where people can own tiny homes that they can afford.
	But there's no desire within government for people to own homes that they can actually afford, is there?
	That's the problem.
	Oh, on Brokeronomics, I sat down with a couple of housing developers a while ago, and they went through all the requirements that they're forced to do.
	Yeah.
	So cheap, small homes are just unviable.
	It's like, it's exactly the same on the car thing, you know, and we say, why aren't we having a big push to electric cars?
	Why aren't we moving to small, affordable electric cars that do the job and get people around?
	Because there's no money in it, and therefore there's no desire to do it.
	I'm all for tiny houses.
	I would love for the government to come out with a scheme and say, right, Geoff, You can have a tiny house, you can have a plot of land, you can have some plumbing, you're allowed to live in it.
	Because it would cost hardly any money, but what they want me to do is go and get a massive mortgage for a house that's £250,000, so I have to work for the next 35 years to pay for it.
	But there is also the obvious point of who wants to live in a trailer park, which is not the popular option.
	Most people wanted a house, which I can understand, so... Yeah, but people have given up on that, haven't they?
	Well, this is where Amazon have come in, I guess, because they've realized there's a market of those who have given up.
	And here we are.
	I feel like the trailer park thing should make a comeback.
	I mean, if you've, you know, the American trailer park, all right, it gets a bad rep.
	But if everybody could just behave and get on nicely, you could have a really nice community of people living close by.
	Community spirit.
	We could have that instead of everybody trying to get a half million pound house with a big wall and a gate around it.
	What we need is more community.
	And for that, we need smaller houses.
	If.
	There's a very big if.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm not too keen on putting my money on that if, I'll be honest.
	But some people did respond to this by mentioning that maybe Hammond was onto something with his tiny home, which wasn't called that at the time.
	There we are.
	There's an artist's interpretation.
	Have you done that yet on your channel?
	I've done many things on the channel, but I've not yet done a campervan.
	No.
	I've chopped the roof off a Volvo.
	I've turned a Citroen into a sandpit.
	But no, I think maybe that needs to be the next thing.
	I need to make a tiny home on the back of some form of vehicle.
	That's how we're all live.
	But it turns out on Amazon.com, or at least the USA version, because they're not available in the UK, which is where they're most needed, so RIP.
	Instead, you'll have to go to the US version, and as you can see here, most of the things that come up when you type in tiny home are obviously kids toys for 20 buckaroos.
	But there are three options here where we can see, and I suppose I'll click through them.
	So we'll start off with this one.
	I think this is the one the boys brought in their video, which was a little more than $19,000.
	It's $21,000 there.
	You can see the interiors.
	Yeah, fine.
	No problem with that.
	They need some plumbing, obviously.
	Otherwise, again, I mean, none of it works, but there we are.
	It's a TikTok.
	Of course it's a TikTok.
	Gen Z are going to live in these.
	They're going to have TikTok adverts for living in them.
	Have Gen Z not ever seen static caravans?
	I feel like if they saw static caravans, their minds would be blown.
	Yeah, probably.
	But they're more expensive than this.
	But here we are, this is the TikTok review.
	Look, I'm mildly worried that the walls fall down when it gets windy.
	There's probably also a big issue with insulation, I'll be frank.
	Probably not the most energy efficient way of living.
	I think you're right, Frank.
	So there we are.
	That's the home.
	That's one option.
	That's 20 by 19 feet for that one.
	Okay, so you've got two options.
	Option one is move to a warmer country where the insulation is less of an issue.
	Option two is shrink yourself down so you can go in one of those other tiny houses that you pulled up on Google Images then.
	Yeah.
	You pulled up that one and it was a child's toy and I was looking at it thinking, I want to live in that.
	Well, there are some cheaper options because that gives you a selection.
	But then there's this one.
	This is number two, which is purely made of wood, which you can see here.
	And there's some CAD designs, I presume, there.
	Again, a Gen Zed familiar with sheds?
	Probably not.
	There we are.
	There's the end version.
	There's only one image of that, but I think, you know, 12 grand for that.
	That's a big shed with windows.
	It is indeed.
	There is an even cheaper option if you want a free home and that's you just, you work on your Albanian accent and then you go down to Kent and you just wait for boats to stop and you just mingle in.
	I was thinking this as I was watching a more recent podcast of yours.
	How does it work?
	If we go over there and then come back, throw your passport away, come across on a boat, at what point do you get to choose your hotel?
	Because some of the hotels are or were quite nice.
	I mean where would you get, probably not the one in Wales with the tunnels and all the angry people outside, but I mean there's a couple in Worcester and there's nobody complaining outside that and that's near my house.
	I mean we saw a couple that were literally like stately homes and then they were converted into five star hotels and when they ran out of three and four stars they started using the five stars.
	Yeah.
	So if you get over here and they put you in a three-star, but you've been in your home country on Instagram looking at all the people complaining about the five-star one, do you then go back?
	Yeah, try again.
	Re-roll.
	Get a Eurostar, get yourself another dinghy, come back and try and upgrade yourself to a... and just keep trying it until you get a really nice hotel.
	Do you even need to go over to France or can you just wait on the Kent coast and then, let's say, just cut the line?
	Just walk up and down the beach!
	You know, like, kicking stones until they come!
	You know these things happening at night time, the cameras are getting chopped down at night, the trees are getting chopped down at night.
	If you swim out at night, in the morning... Have you been here all night?
	All night, all night.
	Your hair is not wet.
	But the unique thing about this, this is the wooden home, the cheapest one on Amazon.com, which is listed here as 9,950 buckaroos, 1.7 grand for delivery there.
	But it comes, as you can see in this image, as a series of shapes, a series of slats that you then slot together, and that's how you end up with a wooden home at the end there.
	Oh, that'd be quite fun, actually.
	Now, I don't know about you boys, but Red Dead 2 was a great game.
	And in Red Dead Redemption 2, when you decide you're going to buy a plot of land and build a house, one of the main characters comes to you and says, what do you think this is, 1750?
	You don't build a house, you buy one.
	And you get it bought and it comes exactly like this, modular.
	So we are going back to 1895 levels of inventions.
	I never got that far in Red Dead 2.
	Well, there we are.
	It's a marvel in the game.
	It's like you just buy a house and it gets shipped.
	Oh, what a wonderful way to live.
	So, um, Gen Z are not being able to buy Helms like their parents or the parents before them and said they will be going back to the ye olde days and ordering them and then building them themselves to that lovely music that they included.
	I was just playing Gran Turismo on PlayStation 2.
	So again, I've no idea any of that.
	But there we are.
	That's, that's the selections.
	That's, that's what you can do.
	Now, a lot of people have been referring to these as trailer parks, which, uh, we've got an image of a trailer park there, which of course can be good or bad depending on the residence.
	It depends very heavily on who your neighbors are, doesn't it?
	I'm all up for living on a trailer park.
	If I could get rid of all but one of the trailers and then move the location of it to the middle of nowhere, then that would be perfect.
	But in the UK, there is absolutely zero political will in having affordable houses that work for people.
	Because again, the problem is for a lot of people, let's say you set up a situation where you can have a house of some sort, be it a trailer park or one that you buy off Amazon, and you can afford to live in it and have it put where it is for £30,000.
	People would just work less because they'd go, hold on a minute, I've paid for my house, what am I doing all this work for?
	And also the house prices would come down because there's no longer demand.
	Exactly.
	It would ruin the entire economy.
	You say there's no political will for cheaper houses.
	I think it's the opposite.
	There is a political will to keep houses as expensive as possible.
	Agreed.
	Absolutely.
	Almost like the whole thing is a big plan to keep us working until we die.
	Yes, but it's like you can sort of understand... I can see how the SIOP works in this country, but it's the same in all of the other countries.
	In Australia, it's the same thing.
	House prices are really expensive.
	But they can't exactly make the argument that there's a shortage of land there.
	So what excuse do they use?
	Depends where you want to live.
	So we've done this a lot on the podcast.
	If you look, because I got bored and was looking at moving.
	And so if you go to Sydney or something, yeah, you're buggered.
	But if you go out to the countryside in Australia, holy crap, I could buy a house right now, which is mental.
	Just because as soon as you get out in the middle of nowhere, there's no demand.
	So the houses are cheap as bugger.
	Like I found one for, what was it, $100,000 USD?
	But you could still stick a Starlink on the top and just do your podcasting, your angry man ranting at the...
	Yeah, I'm a big fan of destroying the cities from the inside.
	Literally get everyone moving out.
	Yes.
	This is why I hate the people who don't like the whole working from home phenomena.
	Brilliant.
	Best thing that's ever happened to conservatism.
	The more people staying away from the cities, the better.
	But anyway, so that's a place.
	Could they not all be at the gym making Zoom calls at the same time, though?
	Yeah, they could.
	That'd be really handy.
	Everyone be jacked.
	Could there just be less people?
	When I want to go to the gym and have a coffee, right?
	I'd just like to hear less Zoom phone calls.
	Maybe they could all do it in their cheap homes.
	If they could afford homes, they could make their Zoom calls at home!
	Does your gym have those thots who like set up camera stands recording themselves while taking up the equipment?
	I've seen it before.
	Yeah.
	In fact, the people that do that at the gym that I used to be a member of need that AI app!
	Yes.
	Put some clothes on them!
	If you were going to the gym with special sunglasses that fix the women...
	Yeah.
	Someone did say there was going to be an app doing that.
	It'd be like they live backwards.
	It'd be weird, wouldn't it?
	Getting back to the UK, because I'm in a trailer park.
	OK, well, trailer parks don't actually have the same connotations they usually have in the US, because in the US, my understanding is that the white trash neighborhood is how they put it.
	But in the UK, they're sort of like holiday homes.
	Because, I mean, I looked here, for example, much of my holidays were cheap holidays where you go and stay in a trailer.
	Which were nice.
	I lived in one of these for two years, but don't tell anyone.
	Okay.
	But it's not the horror I see in like 8 Mile, where it's described that everyone's on drugs.
	That's because you're at Pontins.
	Basically, yeah, the static caravan.
	And as I said, we lived in one for two years because we wanted an alternative way of living.
	We didn't want to do the whole rat race mortgage thing.
	And what happened in the end was, well, there was a big flood and we lost a ton of money.
	For a little while, it was great.
	And I did used to find myself saying, why hasn't this caught on?
	Why aren't people saying, do you know what?
	I don't necessarily need to live in a bricks and mortar house because many of the new build bricks and mortar houses are no bigger than that anyway, but they don't have the outside space.
	But these kind of fly under the radar because they're normally boomers' second or third homes and are therefore allowed.
	If young people started moving into these, these would be shut down really fast.
	Yeah, because most of these sites as well that are technically residential or their second homes for people or their holiday homes for people, the sites will be closed in January, February or just January.
	So you can't have a residential permit for the whole year.
	So there's not that many.
	Most places, it's classed as a holiday home, which means the whole...
	Keeps out the young'uns.
	Yeah, so you're kicked out for January.
	Sometimes children aren't allowed.
	So again, there's no will for affordable accommodation for people.
	Because if there was, we'd just set up more of those.
	Make them nice.
	You can see here, this one is listed as a holiday home.
	I don't know if you actually get to own the land as well, which is another problem.
	You won't own the land and then you'll pay, so that's what costs.
	Clearly it's a choice, isn't it?
	Because you could just say, okay, well, instead of throwing you out in January, we're not going to throw you out in January.
	And then this would be an affordable choice.
	You also don't really own it because, as you can see here, you have to spend 6.3 grand on just, well, keeping the place.
	On top of the 42 you paid.
	The only bit you own is the caravan and then you've got to pay your rent every year and then there's rates as well and then there's all that sort of stuff.
	Pretty similar to just renting a place anyway.
	I've often been baffled by the fact that there isn't a sort of halfway house.
	See what I did there?
	There's not like a halfway point between living with your parents and then buying actual bricks and mortar property.
	There should be something in the middle for those of us that don't necessarily want to live.
	In a bricks and mortar property.
	You know, there's a lot of people that live in camper vans.
	There's a lot of people living in vans and doing the van life thing and touring and all that sort of stuff.
	But there's nothing in between.
	Yes.
	But why are we even discussing this?
	Why the hell are we even sitting around being like, Zubaz, yes, just buy a half of Amazon and build it like the 1800s.
	Why don't you just move into a trailer park?
	Because I feel like this is Yeah, we're dealing with reality and trying to find a solution.
	But why is our reality so short?
	Because that's not the dream.
	That's not things getting better.
	That's not what people want to think of, like, in 10 years, things will be worse.
	You usually think in 10 years, things will be better.
	And the real culprit, as left-wing Twitter has discovered, is Carl.
	The man from Up.
	The old man who refused to move his house, the bastard.
	Why didn't he move and let people build these skyscrapers where we could house Well, we won't say who we can house, because it's not hordes of Gen Zers.
	That's for sure.
	Wow.
	This is an interpretation of Up that I've not seen before.
	So he was the villain.
	He was the bad guy.
	Yeah.
	We are facing a housing crisis.
	He assaulted brave developers and construction workers working to bring housing to the masses.
	The masses of where?
	Yes.
	Not England?
	No.
	Or their people?
	Other people.
	Eritrea.
	Can I see some replies on this one?
	Scroll down a little bit.
	Let's see what people actually say.
	He only moved because the developers forced him to after he assaulted a construction worker.
	I think assaulting construction workers, pretty clear cut, makes him a NIMBY, not in my backyard.
	Yeah, again, like... Backwards way of interpreting the problem.
	Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?
	Because you can do this on the whole immigration thing as well, because you can say, well, at some point, one of our ancestors immigrated from somewhere to get to the place that we ended up, so everyone's an immigrant from somewhere.
	So, like, how do you then resolve all of these arguments that we've been talking about?
	Because everybody came from somewhere and everybody's got to live somewhere.
	I think the answer is there's too many people and what we should do is we should get rid of lots of the population with various schemes that are not going to go into.
	Well, there's an offer, isn't there?
	Because a lot of people have responded, obviously, to this, being like, eh, come on, just build loads of skyscrapers, why are you moaning?
	Because that's crap.
	No one wants to live like that, and you know it.
	But there is plenty of brownfield sites that could be used, but we're just not allowed to.
	Potentially, there's all sorts of problems, but the fundamental one, I think, is the one we've always talked about, which is...
	You literally can't build enough houses for the demand.
	And this is Canada finding out what we found out from 1997 onwards.
	Them very recently have gone through massive immigration figures as well.
	And then are realising, ha!
	That's really killing the rental prices, huh?
	Ha!
	Now that's really hurting the house prices, huh?
	And now no one can afford to buy anything.
	Yeah.
	The massive increase in demand, weirdly enough, if you don't change supply, affects demand.
	Well, the numbers aren't very simple.
	We build 200,000 houses a year, and we import 700,000 people a year.
	I went to school and did maths, and I know that that doesn't work.
	Well, yes, because the 700 is bigger than the 200.
	Yeah.
	That's the key.
	Once you've got that... Yeah.
	And then you have the same with the Canadians there.
	Vacancy rates falling.
	Are there any options for us getting a dinghy and going the other way?
	Is there anywhere worth going that's like, not here?
	No one else is as stupid as us.
	That's the really weird thing about the set of incentives we've got these days.
	The incentive for young people is to leave the country.
	Yeah.
	And the incentive for everybody else in the world is to come here.
	But why have we ended up with those incentives?
	I think that's called the Great Replacement.
	Well, yes.
	Yes, there is that.
	I'll have to edit that out.
	No, we'll leave that in.
	Elon Musk has been saying exactly that, which is him talking about mass immigration, just saying, well, you know, it's destroying everything.
	And even he said, this is a contributing fact to the housing prices.
	Because if you're an illegal in New York or California, Well, I mean, you should be deported immediately.
	That should be the law.
	Instead, what happens is that you get access to bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver's license, and free healthcare, and state tuition for college.
	And he makes the great point of, why the hell would you give them the same benefits you give a citizen, because then there's no benefit to being a citizen?
	Which is exactly what we're saying about going across, getting a boat, coming back and checking in again.
	You know, you basically reset.
	You start, go at a different point, don't you?
	So you come back in as an immigrant and then you get all that.
	So I got to ask the question, which is, um, well, Is this going to change?
	Because this is why the reality is so bad.
	But is this going to change?
	So, I mean, will people take responsibility for what they've done?
	Well, I have the immigration minister here telling us that the asylum system is broken and he wants someone to do something about it.
	The immigration minister wants someone to do something about immigration.
	Yes.
	Excellent.
	If only him... If only there was some sort of job role in government that did that sort of thing.
	If only he had, I don't know, 300 and something friends, who also were in the same parliament as him, in the same party, with the same views, and they could, I don't know, form a government and then vote laws?
	I mean, you'd think he'd be ideally placed to be doing something about it, wouldn't you, really?
	But this goes back to my last segment of the absolute theatre of our political system.
	It's just such bullshit at this point, because what happens at the election times, Is the Tories pretend to be running in opposition to themselves?
	Yes.
	And the Labour Party pretend to be different from the Tories?
	Yes.
	But everybody can see that, no, it's just an elite who does whatever the hell they want?
	I had a bit of a busy day yesterday and I think I missed some things that happened in the world, but did we also have a situation in politics recently where Keir Starmer publicly bet Rishi Sunak a thousand pounds over something?
	That was, um, Piers Morgan.
	Was it Piers Morgan?
	Yeah.
	He wouldn't get anyone on the flights to Rwanda before the next election.
	And Rishi Sunak was like, I'll take that bet, which was, you know, it's only a thousand pounds.
	What does he get?
	Can we quickly talk about this flights to Rwanda thing?
	Right.
	I know next to nothing about it.
	And I know that the whole thing is panto.
	Yes.
	All of it.
	Yes.
	We have the immigration minister being like, Oh, if only someone would do something.
	How did that conversation happen?
	Where they were sat in a room going, you know what?
	We need to work out this.
	We've got to start deporting people.
	They're all sat around.
	It's probably in an evening, aren't they?
	They're all having a drink.
	What should we do?
	You know, we could put them up in some affordable housing.
	And someone's there been like, ah, you know what we could do?
	Put them on planes to Rwanda, and they've all been slapping their legs, being like, that's a ridiculous idea, you'll never make that fly.
	Because when you get into the details of that Rwanda deal, Rwanda can send us the same amount of people that they don't want here.
	Brilliant.
	So it's an exchange scheme.
	Yes.
	Rwanda's warm and sunny most of the time, right?
	Yeah.
	We saw the hotels that we're going to send them to as well, and they're very nice.
	So what am I going to do?
	I've got to go across to France to get a dinghy to come across here, or go out.
	Get a free holiday to to Rwanda pretend that I'm paddling and have been there all night to then get put up in a three star hotel to go and do it again to come back four star go and do it again come back five star how do I eventually get on the plane to Rwanda imagine being mad that you got the five star I was promised son anyway but there's that No, nothing is going to change.
	So get building, boys!
	You can go find the wood slats, get the music on your phone from Red Dead and get working.
	But if you're in the UK, I probably don't think so, because I also did try to just find some land where I could put my caravan in Swindon and found this.
	How much is that?
	I can't see it.
	It's £100,000.
	This plot of land.
	Do you get the Mitsubishi with it as well?
	No I don't think so.
	But look at that piece of land you could get those Amazon houses you could you could divide that up into like at least 10 plots.
	Oh you're speaking like a housing developer now.
	No, but I'm saying that green building there, you could put a shower block and a little kitchen unit in there, right?
	And then you could divide it up into 10 blocks and then a bunch of 10 friends could chip in.
	So it would be 10 grand each plus another 20 grand for the pod.
	So you've got a 30 grand, your own house.
	You'd have to share a kitchen block and a shower block, but otherwise, you know, 30 You're missing the key point.
	What?
	Permission.
	Well, yes.
	Yes, that's the one thing that you wouldn't get.
	So even if you did this, I mean, you're stocking up 100 grand for the land, then 40 grand for the caravan, and then you're going to get the permission, which just isn't going to happen, let's be real.
	So, there we are.
	Because there was a time, wasn't there, in English history, where you just have the common?
	And you still have them scattered all over the country.
	We have what's called a common, but it used to be common land that people could just use.
	When I first tried playing MechWarrior 2 in the mech, I wasn't getting a very good framerate.
	was in USA, not UK, and probably never will be.
	The UK is buggered in this regard.
	But if you want one and you're American, and it is on Amazon, and if you want to do that, that's a thing now.
	Cool.
	Let's go to the video comments, I suppose.
	When I first tried playing MechWarrior 2 in the mech, I wasn't getting a very good frame rate.
	This is because the computer was trying to power itself and the touchscreen at the same time.
	However, by running the screen through a powered USB hub, I got some increased performance.
	A lesson to be learned.
	The same power that causes a problem can also fix it, if correctly applied.
	Alrighty.
	This guy's building a mech.
	And then he's playing mech in his mech.
	Right.
	Mental.
	He's gonna be- When the robot's trying to take over, he's gonna be our first line of defense.
	Okay, good.
	Let's go to the next one.
	YouTubers SerpentZerday and LaoWai used to live in China and were caught up with the local propaganda.
	Now they devote their channels to exposing Chinese malfeasance.
	The Chinese have a tendency to present your food alive on the plate to demonstrate its freshness before taking it away to cook, indicating just how little trust there is.
	A colleague at work loved to disgust us with tales of gutter oil.
	This woman is skimming cooking oil from a sewer to strain and reuse.
	When your society is set up to keep the impoverished down, then you make people desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.
	That's sad.
	Yes, that doesn't really appeal.
	I don't know what to say.
	That was just sad.
	Okay, let's go to the next one.
	I never know what to believe with what comes out of China, because for everything that you've got that says some things are really, really bad, there's lots of people saying things are really, really good as well.
	And you've got a lot of this like 15-minute city digital ID stuff.
	People can't do stuff without their digital ID.
	But then there's other people saying you should visit China.
	It's fantastic.
	Are they all lying?
	Are some of them lying?
	Maybe a few of them are lying?
	Depends how good your social credit is.
	How much is the land in China at the minute?
	And can Amazon deliver there?
	I will help you colonize Xinjiang if you'll just give me a home.
	In China they're demolishing whole cities of tower blocks at the moment, so they've got an abundance of empty homes.
	Yeah, they're just made of newspaper.
	I think I just solved this, the immigrant problem.
	Yeah, if we send all the immigrants to China, empty cities, men of military age who want to see... We need to get in touch with What's-His-Name and suggest that one to him, because it's going to be a better solution than Rwanda.
	Yeah.
	Dear President Xi, have you considered?
	Yeah.
	Imagine the response he would send to be like, I'm not stupid.
	Go away.
	Yeah.
	To the next one.
	So yesterday I didn't have internet because the wind took it out.
	We had a huge storm come through, lots of rain, and we even had a little tornado.
	And as you can see, just tons of damage, hundreds of thousands without power.
	It was just crazy.
	And yet every year that this happens, I mean, last year we had record-breaking rain and snow.
	Every year this happens now, and they're still saying that we're in a drought, and that it's dry, and that's why we have so many forest fires.
	Yeah, they're lying, aren't they?
	Is it dry there now in California, or is it... where are we at now?
	I don't know, but I think a specific area.
	I mean, if they're having massive floods every year, that just doesn't sound like a desert area.
	It sounds like probably somewhere that's more like Washington.
	But anyway, let's go to the... do we have a last one?
	We do have a last one, there we are.
	What the heck is this?
	Potato milk?
	Are there any Irish out there who would like some potato milk?
	All right, that's pornography for the Irish viewers.
	That's all the video comments there are.
	It took me a while to work out what that accent was doing.
	Can we play that again?
	She's Danish.
	Oh, she's Danish?
	Yes.
	Wow.
	So if you hear a potato in someone's throat, they're always Danish.
	Excellent.
	So potato milk.
	Brilliant.
	I'm sure that's really good for you.
	From the written comments, we've got Alex Ogle who is saying, discovered Geoff only a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed his content.
	Everyone should watch Top Gear.
	Top Gear-like road trip from John O'Groats to Land's End, pitting EV car against an ICE car.
	What a corker.
	Yeah, I watched that one.
	That was quite a good one.
	Thank you very much.
	I was rooting for the EV, but it was a bit unfair because EVs have to stop and charge.
	The thing was, when we started that challenge, and to be fair, all three of the challenges that we've done, I always knew that on time, the EV cannot compete.
	Regardless of how fast they do 0-60, it doesn't matter because you're going to have to stop the charge for 45 minutes.
	What shocked me every time was the price.
	Because although I might have set off thinking I'm going to get there first, I was also often thinking, if he's careful, he could come up cheaper than me.
	And to then get to Land's End, well he never made it to Land's End, but to sit by the harbour in Cornwall and work out the numbers and find out that he had spent twice as much as me on electricity and I'd arrived I think on balance nine hours ahead.
	That was a real, like, mind-blowing moment.
	Because he was paid for rapid charging.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And again, like, you know, you watch the challenges.
	There's other places he could have charged.
	We could have done it differently.
	We could have done it on a different day.
	We could have done a different route.
	There could have been less traffic.
	We could have not done it at all and it would have been different.
	But we did it on those days.
	The traffic we got was what we got.
	The conditions were what they were.
	And it was a pretty balanced, you know, pretty balanced review.
	So we've done three of them.
	We've done North to South.
	That was John O'Groats' Land's End.
	We then did East to West just before Christmas.
	And we've done North to South Wales as well through 20 mile an hour speed limits.
	And we've yet to find one where the EV actually comes out on top.
	Lots of people have called us out and said, Oh, well, you know, we want to challenge you and all this sort of stuff, but go and do it and prove it for yourself.
	It doesn't work over long distances.
	Diesel is still the king.
	Justin B says, good to see Jeff.
	I've been watching you for a few months.
	Has anyone beaten your kart time yet?
	Ah, I haven't heard, but I am also hoping that my actual hat is at the go-kart track.
	I was there last Wednesday and I lost my favourite hat.
	I phoned them early on and said, could I leave my hat there?
	And he said he's going to phone me back.
	So when I go back to the go-kart track to put the sign up saying beat the YouTubers, hopefully I'll retrieve my hat.
	But yes, we went go-karting last week for the YouTube channel and myself and Lee set a time on the track.
	And the idea is you can go to Stourbridge.
	There's no clean air zones or anything like that.
	And there's not as many roundabouts as Swindon.
	And you can go and beat our times on the go-kart track.
	Very good.
	Want to do a couple of yours?
	Sure!
	Omar Awad says, men only want one thing and women hate that it's not disgusting.
	Yeah, Volvo's.
	All we want is Volvo's.
	Justin Beef says, the biggest problem with AI is that no one is going to trust photos anymore.
	This will be even worse with new Pixel phone comes out with its AI built into the camera app.
	Yeah, I don't know if you guys have got adverts for that.
	I get them all the time.
	It's like, fix your photos, and it just deletes a person.
	Well, and also you can use it to manipulate what politicians are saying.
	So before long, Biden's team is going to work this out, and one of these days you're going to see him come out and give a fully competent, coherent speech, where he then just marches off the stage without falling over, and you'll be like, oh, was that AI?
	Where this takes me is, do you remember the South Park episode where, um, They had girlfriends, but somebody was touching up the images.
	So they got to a stage where the image on the phone was better than the image in real life.
	And I feel like that's where we're headed.
	We're going to be in a position where, like, if you're using AI to remove things from your holiday photos, then that means your holiday was better on your phone afterwards than it was in real life.
	And we just get to this stage where AI allows us to live in this digital world that's actually better than our actual reality.
	And then you want to stay there.
	Then you want to stay there.
	And many of the conspiracy theorists would say, well, that's the plan because we're going to end up just living in these boxes with our Oculus systems on.
	And I was actually in Curry's PC world the other day, and I saw that there was a carry case for an Oculus.
	And I thought that was really quite ironic.
	A carry case?
	A carry case for your 3D simulation so you can take it with you.
	Just found that a bit odd.
	Have you seen all those videos of the guys in San Francisco with the Apple ones?
	No.
	So they came out a week or two ago for the public.
	So loads of guys have got them and they're walking around and now there's loads of videos.
	People are like, have you seen these freaks?
	Because they're just living in their own world.
	They can see the cars and stuff so they can safely walk around.
	But they've got the virtual reality up.
	Wow.
	They walk along like this, moving stuff in front of their eyes, don't they?
	In real life they're just like that.
	When you're watching them, you just see somebody walking down the street doing that.
	See, people probably realize from watching this podcast and the way I reacted to some of the stuff you were showing us earlier, I am a technophobe.
	I don't really understand any of this stuff.
	And I just see that none of it is going to make my life better or easier.
	I think we've got mobile phones and I'm okay with mobile phones, but I don't need anything else.
	Most people are trying to shame them into not using them by just assuming everyone who's got those goggles on is just watching porn 24-7.
	Hilarious.
	Which is one way.
	Anyway, Hector says the AI may fix their photos, but it can't fix the relationship with their fathers.
	Sophie Liv says, oh my god, how dare you make comic book heroines and video game women scantily clad, that's sexist.
	Oh my god, how dare you say that real life women shouldn't be scantily clad, that's also sexist.
	Jan says if our AI overlords are going to be like Digify AI instead of Woke AI, then I'm all for it.
	Immediate revolution, please.
	Yeah, I am unironically in favor of the AI overlords.
	Well, the Crusader says the AI overlords can't be any worse, Dan.
	When they're programmed and trained by the same anti-human people who now rule us, they'll be the same but a million times worse because they'll actually be more effective and competent.
	Right, so they can be worse, but I don't think they will be worse.
	I should clarify on that.
	I think there is a possibility of getting a good AI overlord, there is not a possibility of getting a good human overlord.
	But is there a variety of AI overlord that actually needs human beings in their biological form?
	Well, yeah, there is always the theory that when machine life takes over, they'll be like, OK, we need to get rid of the oxygen because it just corrodes all our components.
	Yeah.
	Mr. Royce says, I find it interesting that the main critique of Digify AI from the feminists is men controlling women, like it's not women who hate attractive women the most.
	He says, men have usually one main type, attractive women who are modest and loyal in public, which have a naughty side that they bring out in private.
	Digify AI feeds the former, AI that undresses feeds the latter.
	Yes, good comment.
	Harry's Bastard Child says, I'll burka for all, not something I had on my 2024 bingo card.
	I'm going to shoot the next person who says that phrase.
	Anyway, Sophie also says, it does amuse me that the average woman is now so slutty that it's kind of boring for people and that it's way more interesting when they wear a turtleneck because at least it's different.
	Yeah, I wanted to bring that up.
	I forgot to, which is I've had this problem for a while.
	I don't know if you see this with all of us, men and women.
	Primark.
	Looking at women especially, women all look the same.
	They're all wearing different clothes, but it's all Primark-ish.
	Like the style makes me think of Primark, and it just makes them all a blur.
	And then when you see one that's not dressed like that, it's interesting.
	Is that just me?
	I think that might just be you, but maybe we move in different circles.
	Okay.
	I go to a lot of school stuff.
	There's a lot of parents.
	They all look a little bit different.
	Most of them just look tired.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm saying that because I think Sophie's right.
	Swindon High Street is not necessarily the best place to judge.
	I was thinking of Reading as a whole.
	I do appreciate that fashion does seem to have gone in pretty much one direction, which is jogging bottoms, trainers, and a top that is roughly the same as the jogging bottoms that you're wearing.
	And I don't really understand how that has happened.
	Because it's not.
	I don't know.
	But I think that happens as you get older as well.
	Like you look at the world around you and go, this is all rubbish.
	And my parents probably did the same and their parents as well.
	And things do get progressively worse.
	But it's quite possible that they were all right.
	And it is so society is just decaying around us.
	Yeah.
	I think that's something we can all agree on.
	Definitely the UK.
	Primark's an interesting one though because as a business model and going back to net zero and all of that sort of stuff.
	Primark, if we're going to do net zero to save the planet, what would you rather do?
	Would you rather get rid of all the old cars?
	There's a lot of businesses where we can go, we don't need you, we don't need you, we don't need you, and save all the carbon that you're creating.
	buy a t-shirt, it lasts five minutes and it's straight to landfill.
	As a business model, it's pretty hideous and it needs to go.
	If we are going to save the planet and go down the net zero stuff, there's a lot of businesses where we can go, we don't need you, we don't need you, we don't need you, and save all the carbon that you're creating.
	I think Primark's one of them.
	I don't know why people say that about Primark.
	Maybe other people are using their clothes wrong.
	Most of my t-shirts, all of them in fact, are from Primark because they're the cheapest.
	And I've got some that are at least five years old.
	They've never lasted five minutes.
	I've never been inside a Primark.
	It's been a little while since I've been inside.
	Maybe we should do that.
	Maybe we should go.
	Yes, do some content.
	£1.70 for a shirt.
	I'll visit a Primark.
	You drive into a Primark.
	I'm quite happy.
	Can I drive through a Primark in my BMW X5 with no number plates on it?
	£1.70 for a shirt.
	Do you not feel a little bit funny about that price?
	No.
	They don't pay you enough on this podcast.
	Well, there we are.
	You haven't, you know, I've had them for five years, some of them, and then, you know, they start to fall apart then, and then you just sort of, you know, blow your nose in them once and throw them away.
	The other thing I find, like, when you get older is if you spend a little bit more money on, like, I don't buy clothes.
	Like, I thought this morning, right, I was like, right, this is a proper podcast.
	You guys have, like, a studio and microphones and one, like, four cameras.
	This is more than just me in an old car with an iPhone.
	And I thought, you know what, I'm going to buy a new shirt and I'm going to buy a new hat.
	And you know what I did?
	I didn't buy either of them.
	And you just don't.
	You get older and you're just like, I don't need it.
	I own three shirts.
	Well, you're not on the pull anymore.
	You're just trying to get enough sleep at night every night.
	So stuff changes.
	Your values shift as you get a bit older.
	But yeah, £1.70 for a t-shirt, I'd have to be asking, hang on a minute, someone has suffered for that somewhere along the line.
	Yeah.
	I'm not saying my... You can just envisage the Filipino child getting whipped, can't you?
	As you hand over your £1.70.
	Yeah.
	There's something that's gone on there, and I'm not saying all of my clothes are ethical, but I just feel like that's too cheap.
	That Bangladeshi is either making this t-shirt, or in the fields for eight hours.
	Yeah.
	And they do make the self-choice of, I'd rather make t-shirts.
	The ethical reason to shop at Primark, we'll go with that.
	DeepMidWicked says, I'm eternally on the side of the farmers, as the last few years have shown.
	Shipping food in from abroad is a recipe for disaster.
	Same with energy policy.
	Become self-sufficient first, deal with the rest of the world, Uh, second.
	Yes, exactly.
	And that's actually something that the West does to the developing countries, which is really wrong.
	What it does is it goes into these countries and it starts shipping out cheap Western mass-produced food, so it destroys the local farmers because they can't compete.
	And then once they're gone, Well, they don't have anything else to go to, but they're just now hooked on Western cheap food, so we've now got them by the goolies.
	And again, this sort of plays into something that you hinted at earlier, which is like, where is that sense of national pride?
	Like, what is that one thing?
	What if we had a Prime Minister that came in and said, you know what, we're going to be the best country at all of the best stuff, and we're going to produce more food than anyone else, and we're going to make the best t-shirts, and we're going to make the best cars, and we're going to be the best.
	It never happens, does it?
	Well, and imagine we even got to choose our Prime Minister as well.
	Well, that'd be nice.
	That would be a good start.
	I mean, there's many things that you could do on this.
	Richard Monckton says, Well, they just have to.
	I mean, there's just nothing left at this point.
	There's no democracy.
	there was no representational chance for reform for the farms of Europe tired of being shut on from a great tide they've now taken it to the man and brought theirire to the cities well they just have to there's just nothing left at this point there's no democracy there's no pretense that we can change anything we are just We can either protest, we can either take it to them or we just wait for slaughter.
	And I think from watching some of the stuff that's going on in Wales, there's a few farmers in Wales that are getting pretty vocal about this, a lot of it is to do, and correct me if I'm wrong in the comments, about the storage of manure and that sort of thing.
	And the farmers are saying, hang on a minute, there's all these new rules coming in on how we have to store this stuff, and yet, the water companies, who are pretty closely connected and pretty cosy with government, are able to pollute as much as they want without anybody really intervening.
	And the farmers are going, hang on a minute, how come we're producing all the food, but we have to abide by the rules, but the water companies don't?
	Yes, well the purpose of a system is the result that it produces, and the result of the system is that farmers are committing suicide and going out of business en masse.
	Yeah, which is presumably therefore what the system wants.
	If they're not being paid to give up farming, which we know the government have done with their, you know, we will pay you.
	It's almost as if the globalists want to make sure that we are dependent on France for energy or food or whatever else, but we can't have a system where any one country is self-sufficient in the basics.
	We all have to be dependent on somebody else for something.
	Which is why we'll never have good, strong leadership that's worth voting for.
	Interlinked failure.
	A final comment from my section.
	JJHW says something, and I don't know if this is true or not.
	Maybe it is.
	Apparently Sadiq Khan has come out in favour of sending cars scrapped under the ULES scheme to Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	Is that real?
	Yeah.
	There was, do you know what?
	I remember reading the articles or scanning the articles and thinking, I am not going to put that on my YouTube channel because it's just a bit of a bridge too far.
	There's some very, very strange stuff that came out about that.
	And I think it was to do with, um, pickup trucks and those sort of vehicles that were going through the scrappage scheme were starting...odd.
	Because that is really, really taking the piss.
	We're going to take your car away and send it to Ukraine.
	And again, you go, well, I've been a pacifist all my life.
	My grandfather was a conscientious objector and he objects to war.
	And then when my grandfather traded in his car in London, it was sent out to fight on one side of a war.
	It's just odd.
	There's a lot to unpack in all of that.
	I never really delved into it in any great detail, but then everything Sadiq Khan seems to touch, seems to have conspiracies not far away from it.
	The man is, yeah.
	Any last words from your comments in section three?
	Sure.
	Um... No.
	I think there are some comments.
	No, I was reading the wrong comments, I just realised.
	Right, we'll read one.
	Roman Observer says, Yeah, so one of the options I didn't really get into was on there.
	The smallest one I could find, which was for five grand or something, was an option.
	It is 1.6 square metres smaller than an isolation cell in the prison.
	But it is an option, so there we are.
	We're out of time.
	If they would like to see more from you, where would they find you?
	Just type Jeffbuyscars into YouTube, and then I've got Twitter, but I try not to use it unless I'm drunk and deliberately annoying people.
	I post on Instagram occasionally, and I'm fairly active on Facebook.
	Alrighty.
	Otherwise... Check that out.
	We'll be back.
