Diagramming and dissecting collective...
Behavior.
Isn't it beautiful?
Isn't it a beautiful name?
I just love this.
Diagramming and dissecting and collecting behavior.
This is exactly what I do every single day of my life.
This is what I do.
I just diagram everything.
I'm always listening to people.
I'm always listening to people.
It is so How people act.
How people think.
What people tell themselves.
What people tell themselves and what people do to...
Oh, what's the word?
What people do to kind of fool themselves.
You know, this matter of perspective is so interesting.
I just did a brand new piece for my private channel, which I go down into...
I go into detail, rather.
And some interesting things regarding this notion called police.
Let me ask you a question.
Don't look it up.
As we speak, how many active police do you think are in existence now?
Give me a number.
What do you think?
Don't look.
Just, this is the first time.
Say it.
What do you think?
What is the number?
Right now, in the country, total.
Give me a number.
Because numbers tell me everything.
What do you think the number is, right now, as we speak?
Active.
I don't mean necessarily administrative.
Okay.
There's a good 200,000, 500,000, 300,000, 10,000.
Is that right?
10,000?
2,000,000?
600,000?
75,000?
You see this?
A million?
The answer, believe it or not, and I look this up under Statistica, it says in 2021, There were 660,288 full-time law enforcement officers employed in the United States.
The number of full-time law enforcement officers reached a peak in 2008 with 708,000 and hit a low of 2013 with 626,000.
You see how that is?
You can't figure some...
I didn't know.
I did not know.
What is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult, professions to get into in terms of professional school?
Law school?
Medical school, college.
Dental school?
Veterinary school?
What?
The answer is veterinary school.
I don't have the statistics in terms of the number of applicants, the number of available seats, and it's all a matter of perspective.
I did not know this.
Isn't that interesting?
I love how we...
I didn't know that!
Now, is that because it's harder to get in, or there are so few available...
Positions in the first.
And why are there so few available positions?
Because nobody wants it?
I never thought of that either.
Think about this.
One of my favorite things ever was, I was talking to somebody the other day, and the idea of drinking came up.
And he said, you know, I'd like to have a nice, you know, have a nice cocktail now.
I forget what time it was.
It was kind of early.
I said, yeah, it's actually good.
It's just a beer.
It's not like it's hard stuff.
And I thought, isn't that interesting how he phrased the two?
He put them into perspective.
Isn't that interesting?
Well, there's a qualification.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Fascinating.
I didn't understand that.
I think that one of the most beautiful things in the world It's how we put our whole world and everything into perspective.
And like I said, I just did a really, really, really, really deep dive, very, very brutal dive into what I believe is this world and what I have been telling you, what I have become.
And I say this to people all the time and they don't necessarily realize this.
They don't.
Care for this, but I am a realist.
And realism is the most wonderful thing in the world when you look at it and you understand it and you put it all into perspective.
Realism.
It sounds like, isn't that kind of assured?
Another thing I noticed.
I talked to a young man the other day.
I found this so interesting.
And he told me, he says, you know, I am on no social media.
I said, really?
He says, none.
I'm on no social media.
Why not?
Don't want to.
Never liked it.
Never liked it.
How come?
I don't know.
Why don't you enjoy social media?
I just don't.
Why is it that some people cannot live without it and other people just don't want to get near it?
No interest whatsoever.
I saw a friend of mine who posted pictures of his grandchild.
And I asked him a question.
It was on Facebook.
I said, I think you know what I'm going to ask you.
But if you don't, I'm going to ask you anyway.
Why do you post pictures of your grandchild?
Do you think that is a good idea to post pictures of your grandchild?
To show everybody what your grandchild's name is?
What your grandchild looks like?
You've given me a lot of information.
It's like, okay, she's visiting you now.
She doesn't live in the city.
She lives elsewhere.
And it is your whatever's your daughter's.
I know you have a daughter.
It's your daughter's.
And I can find out where she lives and where they live.
And I just went through all this stuff and you told me what she looks like, how old she is.
So why do you explain that to me?
I got this thing today.
I've got to post a picture of me with my new toy, my thing here, this thing that I got.
I have to share it with you.
I have to share it.
I cannot enjoy this by myself.
I can't.
I must show you that I have it.
Then some kind of completion exists.
Why is that?
I've given you all these.
The first issue about police officers was perspectives.
Perspectives.
The first...
We always look at things and we always try to put things into perspective.
Some of the most vicious, the most deadly of snakes nobody cares about because we're not going to run into them.
But it doesn't mean they're not deadly.
It just means that we don't particularly care for it.
Because we're not going to run into them.
Other people don't care about social media because they don't do it.
I've got one friend who can't breathe.
He can't scratch himself without posting a picture of it.
And this young man that I just referred to who has never been on it yet.
Look at this variety of social media.
Why can't people answer emails?
Have you ever seen organizations where you cannot answer?
I'm constantly fascinated by the notion of organization.
I called up a car dealership.
Not for me, but for a friend.
Called up on the weekend.
And it's one of those multiple car dealerships.
Like, you know, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jeep, Volkswagen, whatever.
And I was trying to help him with an appointment.
And I'm on the phone, and I realize, the person who answered, well, this is the, we don't open until 9 o 'clock.
First question I had to ask is, is this a hallucination?
Or an hallucination?
Ha ha ha, it's kind of a joke.
And I'm the Ford dealer.
You need I said, isn't this all under one umbrella?
Yes.
Do they have a different number?
No.
So it's a matter of, are they here?
No.
When are they here?
I don't know.
And I'm thinking about this, so I don't know.
And what are you?
Oh, I'm Volkswagen.
Oh, okay.
Why are you there?
I don't know.
Ask him these questions.
I thought, what is...
I wanted to pick up the phone and say, come here, I want to talk to the president of this dealership.
I want you to do this.
I want you to call up.
I want you to pretend you're somebody and see if you can get through your dealership.
I love organization.
I love it.
I've thrown nine things at you so far.
Seemingly disconnected, but not.
Why?
Because I'm an observationist.
I love to just notice things.
How things work, how things don't, what's popular, what's not.
I don't know.
Now before I begin, let me tell you right off the bat a couple of things.
I want to bring this up to your, to your, for your edification, perusal, and review.
And I want to bring this.
I've been receiving a lot of wonderful and positive things regarding our dear friends at ZStack.
And you know what I love to do?
I love to just tell you what is going on and then let you decide.
Right now, Z-Stack will offer you $15 off the Z-Stack for yourself and your kids before they sell out for flu season.
And I want you to find out in particular this one thing that's going on right now, why it's important, using this link, this link.
And of course, to be honest with you, this link is important because they want to, obviously, Sponsor us, and they think you're into this stuff.
And I like...
I'm not somebody who just goes along with everything.
I don't.
But there's one thing I notice, and I'm going to be honest with you.
You're not eating right.
I know you're not getting enough C. You're not getting enough zinc.
You're not getting enough D. D is so critical.
And plant-based nutrients.
I am plant-based.
And there are things that plants provide that you will never understand.
And quercetin, by the way, is one of them.
And quercetin, as you know, is a flavonoid.
And by the way, this is what gives fruits and flowers and vegetables their color.
And that is the thing which is important.
What we consider to be so kind of, oh, that's nice.
No, no, no, no, no.
The reason for the color is different.
The reason why it's to either prevent you from sun damage or bugs or whatever it is.
And that, in turn, Helps you.
And when it comes to heart health, we think of one thing and one thing only.
The endothelium.
That's all.
Nitric oxide.
Plants.
And I'm not going to give you a hard time because of what you eat, but if you're smart, you're going to say, you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to hedge.
It's like a hedge fund.
And I'm going to get this special Z-Stat for myself and my family.
C, zinc, quercetin, and vitamin D. Okay?
That's it.
That's all.
That's the hard push.
You're smart.
You're going to see for yourself.
Use this link.
And by the way, if you're listening on this kind of mobile unit, you've got to hit that more button.
You've got to hit that more button, please.
I'm asking you this.
And another thing which is very interesting.
I talked to you before about EMP shields.
I'll never forget.
I told you this.
I talked to you about EMP, electromagnetic pulses.
I can't believe the number of people who don't know what I'm talking about.
You have no idea.
And EMP Shield is the company.
This is one of these things where, wow!
Thank you for thinking this EMP Shield.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
And EMP Shield, by the way, it's a wonderful company from the Midwest.
This is veteran-owned.
And they are, very important, they have undergone testing this EMP Shield with Keystone Compliance, which is a military-certified facility, and the Department of Homeland Security.
What it is, is very simply this.
The idea is exceedingly simple.
Right now, your home and your car can be protected with this EMP shield.
But, not just that.
Not just your vehicle and your car.
But your generator, your solar system, your ham radio, RV, and much more.
Read about EMPs, electromagnetic pulses, Carrington events, Carrington classes.
Just read.
Read what's happened in history.
It is fascinating.
Absolutely fascinating.
And what is so smart about you, and by the way, one of the reasons why I think people actually come to me to get to you is because they know how smart you are.
So that's it.
The link is right there.
You know what to do.
It makes implicit sense.
No hard sell.
Just the truth.
I love reality.
I love odds.
I love...
Odds!
I love when you see something on TV.
Remember something.
You have to understand.
You have to understand that you must know when to be a telescope or when to be a microscope.
When you look at the particulars, when you get close, when you back up, how do you see these things?
That's what's critical.
Can't explain that enough.
I told you this before.
Do you realize that most people, you right now, Don't know anybody who's ever been killed in a car accident.
Maybe you do, but very, very rare.
Very rare.
Everybody you know is driving.
Everybody has been driving forever.
And they're all there.
You may know maybe one, very, very few.
So therefore, is there no risk of an automobile accident that's fatal?
No.
But look at the numbers.
Look at the numbers.
I love the notion of odds.
When you see an event, when you see somebody who says, you know, this is the most incredible thing in the world.
You know, I, years ago, cannot take penicillin.
I think.
When I was a kid, I took penicillin and, oh my God, I had anaphylaxis.
It was horrible.
Itching.
I haven't taken a sense.
I may or may not have.
I may or may not still have that.
The allergy, I'm not really sure.
But at the time, and the number of people that I said was, oh my God, I'm allergic to penicillin too.
I even had a medical alert.
Remember a medical alert?
Allergic to penicillin.
Oh my God.
I didn't know anybody's allergic.
Nobody.
I have a friend of mine who Well, fun of the family.
They're going through IVF.
You know, it's in vitro fertilization.
Years ago, my dear friend Curtis Lewa referred to in vitro fertilization as veto infertilization.
From the South Bronx, veto.
And she was, they spent so much money, this birth, getting it right.
With precision and taking and making the right pH in the moment.
It's just not.
Finally, thank God.
They've got a little girl coming and that sort of thing.
They've got a little girl coming.
The number of people.
It's incredible.
IVF people have tried.
More and more women right now freezing their eggs.
More and more.
I know more people.
I've heard of this.
Because they're, for whatever reason, they're putting childbirth on.
Let's go to Mumbai.
Let's go to Mexico City.
Let's go to Beijing.
This thing is like, whoa!
Isn't there something from that perspective to this?
What is going on here?
How can something so difficult for you be so, uh, for other people?
Fascinating.
Fascinating.
Odds.
Odds.
The odds of you getting something.
The odds of something.
How do you report something?
How do you report something that is so rare?
Do you put things into perspective?
If you're doing a news event, you say, well, you know, this never happens.
This rarely happens.
They don't want to do this.
Did you ever see these stories where this homeowner found a boa constrictor in their toilet?
Oh my God!
It's a great story.
Did you see the story, Brother Zuman?
Well, I went in there, told it, and there's a boa constrictor in my toilet.
And they talk about this.
Now, if the news person said, by the way, this never happens.
This is the rarest of the rare.
And we have no idea why this happened, but no reason to be concerned.
That kills this story.
Because one of the underlying parts of the story is that you...
Could have a stake in your toilet, too.
So you've just, you've given me perspective, but you killed the impact of it.
Do you see how this works?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do see this.
Yes!
Yes.
Do you ever look at TV shows and say to yourself, oh my God, everybody's dead in this?
I saw the Ulas Carl.
They had, I think, one night it was Gore Vidal, Johnny Carson, Steve Landesberg, remember him?
He played Dietrich on, Barney Miller?
Beautiful.
Smart.
They're all dead.
The whole place is dead.
Everybody's dead.
This is my thing lately.
Whenever I see an old movie, it's like, you know, they're all dead.
See that dog here?
All they're dead.
All the cattle in the background, the dog, the bird, the old lady, all dead.
They're gone.
But there they are, frozen.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Let me ask you a simple question.
What is the most important thing you're doing today?
What is the most important thing you're doing today?
Tell me the number one.
I'm curious.
Just ask.
I'm going to learn from you.
What is the most important thing you've got to do today?
I don't care what it is.
Don't be silly.
Don't be comical.
Don't be cute.
Tell me some chore, something you've got to get done today.
And if you get this done, you'll be so happy.
Tell me what it is.
Tell me what it is.
Put it into perspective.
Everything else, forget it.
We don't need...
You get all the commentary elsewhere.
I want to know about you.
What is it?
What is it?
What is it that you have to do today?
Tell me.
Tell me.
Because my chore, you don't even want to know.
See my grandson.
Oh, Jack.
Jack.
Jack, how great is that to see your grandson?
Your grand...
I don't know how old your grandson is, but just think you're his granddad.
Going to my grandson's basketball games.
Look at that, another one.
Grandson.
I think that would be great.
I don't have any grandchildren, as far as I know.
I love to say that.
I love that.
I love that.
Just to see a grandkid.
Because if you say, there's granddad!
And you can say, alright, I've had enough of this.
Because it's like you're the best.
And they look at you, don't they?
Your kid looks at you like, who is this old guy?
They don't understand.
You were a wild man when you were a kid.
A wild man!
When you see these people walking around with veterans and they're sitting in a wheelchair, do you know what they did at the age of 25?
Dear God!
Here's somebody who's organized my paperwork for a court date.
Ooh, always good.
Court dates are never fun.
Nobody ever goes because things are great.
Things are great.
Been making a video on a project for three years.
That's it, Taj.
Don't hurry.
No speed.
No speed.
Cut my dog's nails.
Isn't that something?
Don't get the quick.
Remember that?
I used to do cat's nails.
You squeeze them like that and you got those.
It's like you look at that vein.
It's like, ooh, dear God.
One wrong move and it's all over.
Make music changing the sheets on my bed.
Bernard, isn't that something?
Tell me there is something better than to jump into a cold sheet completely.
You're either scantily clad or nude, but you're in and you're cuddled up and you're, oh, I think my pillow's coming up.
But in coal...
Buying my daughter a new bed.
Is that beautiful?
Buying a bed.
How do bed stores stay in business?
How many times do you buy a bed?
Think about that.
Clean out clutter from the laundry room.
Who has a junk drawer?
Who has a junk drawer?
Who has this?
Do you have stuff and you're wondering, why do I keep this stuff?
Junk drawers and closets filled with stuff.
It's like, why do I keep it?
What is my thing?
I love the hoarding shows.
I used to watch hoarding shows.
And I'm thinking, to these people, this is their world.
Survive a day with our dance coach.
I don't know what that means.
Maybe that's some urban code for something I don't really want to know about.
I have a whole junk room.
Yes, junk drawer.
You have a junk drawer.
Yes.
This is wonderful.
I've got those things.
Certain things you just don't want to give up.
Hoarding.
Hoarding.
Do you have stuff in your...
How about stuff you have in your fridge?
It's like, why do I have this?
And then one day you say, alright, that's enough.
I'm getting rid of this.
We're not eating this relish.
I'm getting rid of it.
Okay.
No, no, no.
I'm just telling you right now.
I keep it.
I say, why am I keeping this?
There's something about throwing away food.
It bothers me.
I don't like that.
But it's relish food.
Well, I guess it's food.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I've got to get rid of that.
Certain things, like, why do I have these things?
You know what's one of the best things in the world to have?
May I suggest this to you?
Is to have chargeable, those AA batteries.
I'm always recharging them.
Always.
The clickers and this and that.
Get a rechargeable.
Best thing in the world for it.
The spare room is where all the unused stuff goes.
Look at what Tony says.
The unused stuff.
What does that mean, Tony?
We don't use that.
What do you mean by using it?
When you do use stuff, what does that mean?
Who's using it?
And what does using even mean?
What does that mean?
Well, I've got my bike.
You don't use that.
Well, the junk room is like one step before garbage.
One time my father and I had a very interesting conversation.
He was trying to throw away a garbage can.
And we had the old metal garbage cans.
Metal.
Not the plastic, not the recycling, but the old metal with the metal lid.
And he wanted to get rid of it.
So he put it outside.
And he was empty.
And I said, well, that's not going to do it.
So they didn't take it.
So the next, whatever the next, you know, the garbageman come and he stepped on it.
He like bent it all up.
He stepped on it, bent it.
What are you going to do?
Nothing.
They didn't take it.
He wrote, take it.
I said, this is the most, I said, I think they're messing with us.
I think that.
Josh says, you throw it out and a week later, you run, you, you.
Run across a use for it.
You're correct.
My wife's Peloton.
LOL.
Never buy a machine.
Nobody ever uses this stuff.
You never use this stuff.
You never, ever, ever use it.
In this computer age, my wife still hoards paper documentation from yesteryear.
Yes.
You know what I love?
We have tax stuff.
So I called my account and I said, how long do I have to keep this?
He says, well, I forget whatever he said.
I said, first of all, what do we need this for?
Who's going to ever say, what's the statute of limitations?
What is it?
And that's my thing.
He's like, why am I keeping this?
What am I, GM?
What am I keeping this stuff for?
Well, you can scan it.
Scan it?
Scan it for what?
What am I keeping this for?
Look, you're an accountant.
How many times do people say, can you have got that from 1973?
No.
So what am I keeping this for?
And they give me this answer.
So here's what I love.
This is what I love to do.
You know those, I'm not promoting them, I don't know what they're called, Black Mountain, Iron Mountain, Mountain, Leslie Wesson Mountain.
When you throw...
Here we go, look at this.
See, Al Dente says, seven years.
Seven years for what?
What do you need, Al?
When do I need this?
Did you pay that?
You're asking me?
You don't remember this?
My tax return is not going to do anything.
What do I need this for?
How much did you take off for dry cleaning six years ago?
I don't know.
Do you need this?
Is this important?
Anyway, I love when they come and they say, well...
We'll crush and we'll shred and we'll destroy your stuff.
I love that.
I keep wanting to say this.
Can I go to you?
Yes.
Can I?
Yes.
Good.
I want to just show up and say, because I can't, and I want to see you do it.
Oh, you'll see me.
Metal, you know what I mean?
Just, I want to see it grind and crush.
I love this.
The new 87,000 IRS agents.
But, again, my question is, what is this going to do?
You know, you own $10 million.
Now, if you had a copy of your tax return from five years ago, and everything to do is I asked my accountant, I said, don't you have copies of this too?
What do I need this for?
I don't understand that.
Nobody's answering my question.
What do I need this for?
What do I need?
When was a person who says, you're not going to believe this.
I had this client, and if only they had their entire tax returns from whatever you...
You see, you just do this.
You end up just doing it.
You just do this stuff.
I find myself thinking, you know, I kind of understand.
You can't see the stuff I've got here, but it's like, I don't need this stuff.
Yeah, well, I don't know.
There's something about throwing it away.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
It's funny how we just...
It sounds like the whole George Carter thing about your stuff.
Your stuff.
How about like pills and...
I will tell you this much.
Men, I don't know about you.
I am fascinated by if you took all of my toiletries, all of my...
Toiletries.
Deodorant.
I like this deodorant.
That's no fluoride.
No aluminum.
It's made by a veteran's company.
It's very good.
I like that.
It's like this big.
Okay, that's that.
That's my deodorant.
Good.
I have a razor.
We're here, here.
It's lasted me about 12 years.
That's my razor.
Don't even need any kind of cream or just a little razor.
Okay, that's a razor.
What else you got?
Got a brush.
Brush.
My brush.
Okay, good.
What else you got?
Cologne.
Okay, what else?
That's it.
That's it.
Everything else is it.
Ladies?
Come on.
Come on.
Ladies, why?
Why?
Isn't it fascinating?
Isn't it fascinating?
Men, have you ever said, you know what?
My elbows.
They're so dry.
I've never thought about it.
I've never known anybody.
You know, I've got to put this cream on.
Why?
Because my elbows.
My elbows are so dry.
They're cracking.
There's blood.
I'm in pain.
I don't know what the story is.
But you would swear.
This is the most important thing in the world.
This is the most important stuff in the world.
Don't you love when you get older, when you start saying, hey, look at that.
That's interesting.
Wow!
I'm looking like my dad.
Have you noticed that?
Have you noticed that?
Things like this, like, wow!
I think this is great.
Somebody's like, oh, look at this.
Yeah.
I'm getting like an eyebrow thing.
It's like, look at this.
Did you ever see like those old men, bushy eyebrows?
I'll never have that as long as I live.
Don't you love?
Why is this?
God, yeah.
Why is the eyebrow going back?
I don't know.
And the ear and the hair?
I don't know.
Why do some people have that?
I don't know.
Some people just have this thing like that?
I don't know.
Why don't women have hairy ears?
I don't know.
I don't know that.
I don't understand that.
Why is that?
What have you noticed about when you get older?
I don't think it's that big of a deal.
To me, it's like when you're getting younger.
You know, acne, puberty.
Babies go through stuff.
You know, you're kind of growing spurts.
And then when you kind of get older, people think, I guess, you're not falling apart.
You're just kind of, you know, it's just changing.
Isn't it great?
Isn't gravity wonderful?
Isn't it wonderful?
Look at that.
What happened?
What the hell is that?
What is that?
I don't know.
What happened to it?
I don't know.
What is it?
Brezhnev Brows.
Did you ever get these things like, did you ever get this?
What's that thing called?
What happened?
Or all of a sudden, all of a sudden, and I'm sorry to say this, I'm fascinated by this, I know women who all of a sudden, they're not, I don't think they're that obese, but they will collect stuff here, like, what happened?
It's like those synthol, like those fake Brazilian, what is that all about?
I don't understand it.
It brings rubbing elbows to a whole new level.
You're correct.
There is a saying, look at your mother-in-law to see your future wife, kind of sick, thought, sort of, sort of, prolapse.
Underarm hair now grows on your upper lip and chin.
I love that.
Isn't that wonderful?
And you see, Carol, there must be something for this.
God is saying, excuse me, I want you to grow hair.
I want you to grow hair.
I want you to do that.
It means something.
There is a reason for this.
I want you to grow hair on your chin.
Quit fighting it!
Okay!
Alright!
The end is near, by the way, Dick Longreichs.
The end is near from the time you're born.
I don't get into that stuff.
I don't...
The thing I'm ever going to do, and I will tell you this much, I don't care how I look, that I can't help.
Whatever it is.
The best thing you do is keep your weight down.
See, that's the thing is people just don't...
They just don't care.
If you...
Could maintain your weight, you'd feel so much better.
So much of the age thing, I think, is about that.
Because you start...
Anyway, anyway.
I'm never going to act like an old person.
I'm not going to go outside.
I'm not going to do that.
If I sound like that, if I start saying, well, gee willikers.
Why are you saying gee willikers?
You never said that before.
I'm not going to sound like an old man.
I'm not going to talk like an old man.
I'm not going to think like an old man.
I'm not going to do that.
Gray hair and hot flashes.
There you go.
You know, hot flashes.
Let me tell you something, Sadie.
God bless you.
What do you women go through from the time of your...
We're getting to be a woman.
Estrogen.
Childbirth.
Developing memory gland.
I mean, you go through such a...
What do we go through?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Jimmy said they had an aunt that had that hanging underarm stuff that she could have used as sails.
You're right.
You know what she could have done probably?
You know those people who go off a mountain, those cliff divers?
Maybe.
I don't know.
And then the part that I find is the most interesting, which is one of those things that I think is...
And I've seen this before.
It's what happens to people's feet.
It's...
I don't know when this happens.
Fetlocks and hooves and...
I don't understand that one.
I don't know.
What is the purpose of this?
Why did this happen?
Why?
Don't get me started.
One of those things I want to know in life, certain things, is like, why are you wearing sandals?
That's all I want to say.
You're making me sick.
I'm getting sick with this.
Why are you doing that?
Oh, they're cute.
No, they're not cute.
They may be cute, but you've got a hoof, and you're putting this hoof in there, and it's not cute.
Just saying.
Just saying.
Now, let's talk about something very important.
Now, stuff that you're never going to throw away is your food.
Especially emergency food.
And that's why, my friends, I've been talking about it.
I'm so proud.
They've been sponsoring us.
And we love them.
Our friends at My Patriot Supply.
That's right.
My Patriot Supply.
So good.
So great.
So smart.
So clever.
So perfect.
What they are doing and how they...
Right now, for example, the best deal they've had on their three-month kit...
Since 2019.
Think about this.
A three-month emergency food kit.
You save $250.
Over 2,000 calories a day.
Look at these buckets.
Six buckets.
Water-resistant.
Weighs 120 pounds.
Perfectly snackable.
21 varieties of food.
Up to a 25-year shelf life.
Tasty, delicious breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks, and snacks.
Re-sealable, heavy-duty, four-layer pouches with oxygen absorbers.
Hello!
Oxygen absorbers.
Huh?
Does your bag have oxygen?
I've got a pole.
That's great.
People will just say this.
I've got a dehydrator.
Listen, banana chips and old trout is not going to last if for some reason you need 30 days worth of food.
Did I say 30 days?
No.
I'm not talking 30 days.
How about 3 months?
How about 90 days?
Per person.
Isn't that great to know?
And look at this stuff.
Mac and cheese, rice pudding, creamy stroganoff, homemade potato soup, cheese broccoli soup, bread mix, creamy alfredo pasta, chili mac, spaghetti, chicken flavored rice, southwest rice, long grain rice, mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, pancakes.
You're not going to do this at home with your stewed tomatoes.
And your banana chips that you put in the dehydrator.
I'm sorry to say this.
So once you go to preparewithlino.com, preparewithlino.com, preparewithlino.com, do the right thing.
That's it.
That's it.
I'm not going to beg you.
It makes sense.
You know what?
You're smart.
And they know you're smart.
How do you...
It's like explaining to somebody to get a smoke detector.
It's like, you're explaining this to people?
No.
It's a hard sell.
It's a hard sell.
Now, another thing too.
I mentioned jumping into the percales.
MyPillow.
Oh, dear gosh.
They are the...
You know, we are actual...
I know people say this and they don't really mean it.
I mean it.
We are actual customers.
We like it.
It's good.
It's wonderful.
They do a great job.
MyPillow.
I'm not saying this just because I have to.
I'm saying it because I believe in it.

That's all.
I think I would be, I really believe, and I say this, I really believe that you know what you're, that once you are presented with the reality of something, once you are presented with the reality of something, you know Immediately what the story is.
Certain things make sense, certain things don't.
That's all.
You don't need somebody giving you the hard sell, especially when something makes complete and total sense.
Okay?
By the way, did I tell you what is one of, or not one of, what is, I think, the biggest food outlet, food source, food, whatever it is, Dollar Tree.
So you've got to understand something.
I am not at all a snob.
Now, I know that people who say that sometimes are snobs.
I love simple things.
I love...
To me, simple is just...
It makes sense.
When you have pasta, if I make a bowl of pasta, whether it's noodle...
By the way, here in New York, everything's macaroni.
Everything.
Pasta, penne, macaroni.
That's what they call it.
To me, macaroni is that little particular thing.
Like macaroni and cheese, mac and cheese.
It's that elbow thing.
You can't have spaghetti and macaroni.
It doesn't matter.
Spaghetti and cheese, it was a little gum up.
Angel hair and cheese?
No.
Anyway.
But you take something...
Now you've got to add something.
You just can't eat.
You can't eat.
You can't eat just plain.
I mean, you can, but...
Okay, so what do you do?
Well, you know, alio olio, we used to call it a pasticolio olio, which is kind of the Sicilian truncated bird.
Garlic and oil, I'm sorry, and a little cheese, that's it.
This is just good.
You know it's true.
And it's simple.
You've got to know when to stop.
How about some marinara sauce?
Okay, but take it easy.
Take it easy.
How about capers?
Stop.
Stop.
Stop with your capers.
Stop.
Maybe some grilled chicken.
Stop it!
You're ruining it!
Simple is the best.
When you're playing acoustic guitar and you hit just a beautiful G chord, that's it.
That's it.
Nothing.
No effects, no nothing.
Just the feel, the taste of the wood.
G chord.
That's it.
So that's who I am.
I'm just plain old.
But we've got these friends of ours who are so corny.
And they're into this phony baloney stuff where they think that they're...
I don't know what the word is.
They think that they're...
They think that they're...
They think that they're better.
And it drives me crazy.
And it drives me crazy.
I hate phonies.
We have a friend of ours who was saying, well, you know, when we travel, we go to the whatever club, the Admiral's Club.
I said, you know, that's okay, that's nice, but what does the Admiral's Club have?
Well, they give you a muffin and some coffee.
And plus, you're never near the gate.
I kind of like to be near the gate in case there's a problem.
And they looked at me and I said, you really think that going into the Admiral's Club, I mean, they're very nice, don't get me wrong, but they're like name brand people.
I'm not like that.
So when I told them, I said, you ever been to a Dollar Tree?
They said, no.
I said, what do I have right here?
This is my favorite.
Dollar Tree is the greatest.
And Christmas time?
Oh!
Mrs. L goes crazy with this.
And you can tell they sound like, well, that's...
What is this, beneath you?
What do you mean beneath you?
This is a dollar to you.
What...
I don't get...
I don't understand why these people are like that.
I'm not like that.
I'm not like that.
Don't ever be like that.
I hate snobs.
You understand that?
Snobs, yes.
Sophistry.
Made breadsticks last night.
Look at Andy Carman's.
Made breadsticks.
What's breadsticks?
It's bread.
It's bread.
How great is bread?
Just bread.
It's beautiful.
It's perfect.
It's wonderful.
Hot bread.
Everybody has it.
Every culture.
Except...
They don't really have Chinese bread.
I'm trying to think.
Do they have Chinese?
I mean, they have noodles.
I don't know.
Are Chinese a lot into dairy?
Maybe certain parts.
I shouldn't say that.
Same thing with Italian.
Northern versus Southern.
Something so perfect.
So perfect.
This is what it's all about, my friend.
That's all.
I hope everybody gets their stuff done today.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
It's Saturday.
It's about 41 degrees.
It's nice.
I want to thank you for this.
I don't thank you enough for this.
Thank you for being part of this.
And thank you for, I hope you don't mind, every now and then, like now.
I just want to kind of calm down.
I went to visit.
Ah, Osobuco.
Osobuco is just...
Isn't that wonderful?
What is it, of course?
Shank, gelatin, bone.
This was considered...
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Isn't it something?
The real, the real, the real, the best stuff is...
And barbecue?
Considered that that was considered what slaves were...
Here, do something with this.
This is exquisite.
Exquisite.
Thank...
I mean, it's...
Barbecue is, to me, to me, it is the one thing where I love the smell.
I've never enjoyed the smell of anything.
Think about it.
You go to a restaurant, yeah, it smells like pizza.
It smells like...
Okay, fine.
Bakeries are great.
Smell like bakeries.
But smoke?
No.
I've got to stop.
I'm getting hungry.
I shouldn't do that.
My friends, I want to thank you.
Not for what you are, but for what you appear to be.
I thank you for this.
Let me tell you, please do me a favor.
Please follow me on Twitter.
And most importantly, I want you to follow Mrs. L. What she's doing is so important and so critical.
She is up so much earlier than me.
She works on this thing constantly.
So follow her there on Twitter at this.
It means the world to us.
And we thank you for your love.
We thank you for your support.
And thank you for your commonality.
Okay?
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, my friends.
Have a great and glorious day.
See you tomorrow.
Same bad time.
Same bad channel.
9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Until then, remember these immortal and wonderful words.
The monkey's dead.
The show's over.
See ya.
