THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 120 — AI President? 42-Year-Old Soldiers? Stephen Colbert's Lord of the Rings?
Jack Posobiec and Russ Spacey dissect an AI presidency concept, debating whether an amalgamated "President Apex" of all 45 leaders could offer fair governance or merely replicate historical flaws. They analyze the U.S. military's age limit hike to 42 as a recruitment strategy rather than a draft precursor, then pivot to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings sequel featuring Samwise Gamgee's daughter. The hosts clash over whether the saga is a straight epic or a queer-coded allegory influenced by Jackson's emotional intimacy, contrasting it with Frozen's feminist themes before concluding with the tragic story of quadruple amputee cornhole champion Dayton Weber, whose fatal shooting highlights complex intersections of disability, resilience, and justice.

From the age of fake brother If they want to get you they'll get you DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone They're collecting your communications All right, welcome to Thursday.
It's obviously a Thursday edition of ThoughtCrime.
Welcome, everybody.
And we have a new member of the ThoughtCrime crew making his first appearance on the Thursday ThoughtCrime.
Because Tyler forgot to tell us.
He wasn't going to be here.
I actually I like the look.
I like the vibe.
We might have gotten an upgrade here.
I'm just saying.
I mean I don't know don't tell Tyler I said we'll see that's Russ Spacey one of Jack's producers.
So welcome Russ.
Welcome to the set.
Everybody say hello.
Jack where the heck are you right now?
I am in the heart of Freedom, the lone star state, Dallas, Texas for CPAC.
And so as is tradition, we are now holding my yearly Thought Crime from CPAC.
So what do you think of Texas, Jack?
What's your, like, give me your unvarnished take on Texas?
You're a New England guy.
It's really big.
It's, you know, it's just one of those things where like everything's bigger in Texas.
And as an East Coast guy, I suppose it's all out west in general.
I'm used to states being like a certain kind of size that you can drive for a couple hours and still, you know, and go to multiple states.
You'll see multiple cities.
There's lots going on.
Whereas Texas, it's like you could drive for three hours in any direction and there's still Texas.
There's more of Texas yet to come.
And so it's just this, it's just this totally kind of out of, you know, out of body experience when I'm here.
But what's amazing is that when you go around Texas, you don't have to really play this game of like trying to see who's conservative because it's pretty much just like everybody's conservative.
And it's so cool to see that because again, coming from the East Coast, you always sort of have to feel out where people are.
Whereas in Texas, it's actually like, oh, wait, someone's a liberal?
That's like the one out of 10.
You know what?
If you have ever driven the 20 from East Texas to El Paso, it literally feels like it's never ending.
It is the longest drive.
And then especially when you get to like West Texas, it just vegetation.
There's just kind of nothing.
Well, there's like oil rigs.
And then you run into El Paso and I guess it's okay.
Demonstrating Strength in Phoenix00:08:27
It's all right.
You tap.
That's how big it is.
I drove.
There's no vegetation, but what there is is buckies.
It was Russ's first thing he was going to say on the show.
And, you know, Jack, he's...
Oh, no, no, no.
I, um...
No, I drove to Austin for one of my birthdays just all the way through.
From Phoenix?
From Phoenix.
And it was a long drive.
It's a long drive.
Once you hit eight hours, you're like, okay, I need to get out of this car now.
Please.
All right.
Well, here we are.
Jack, you want to take us on our first our first topic here?
Or do you have more to add?
Well, I can, but I should also shout out that even though this is the first time that producer Russ has been on the show, it is not the first time he was mentioned on the show because he was mentioned a couple of weeks ago when we got to put out the news that Big Russ just got engaged.
Oh, that's right.
That was recently.
He did just get engaged.
Yes, man.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Let's go.
How's that going for us?
And by the way, to an American.
It's great.
Yes.
So there is a lot of, you know, listen, there's a lot of tension between the sexes right now.
This is a big, this is a big topic of discussion, especially amongst the kids.
Come on.
And so you're kind of like the outlier right now, actually doing the thing, getting married, young guy, setting off on the American dream.
I don't know, young.
I don't feel young.
You're pretty good.
All right, we're going to get into it.
Blake, do you want to take us away on the first?
Yeah, all right.
AI president.
Yes.
So we were strongly, we were planning on something else, and then this clip just shot across the bow.
This is apparently a recent Joe Rogan episode.
And he says he is prepared.
He is ready to embrace the future, which is ceding the executive branch to an AI robot.
Let's play it.
Clip number one.
Not on either buddy's side.
Not anyone's side.
I don't think the Democrats are ever going to get someone like me because I'm not with either or.
I'm not with either or.
I'm with whoever makes sense and no one makes sense until AI comes along.
I think they're going to do a really good job, all of us.
President Perplexity is going to run this country fairly and balanced.
I'm willing to try it at this point.
I'm dead serious, man.
As long as it doesn't do something to harm people, as long as its goal is just to manage society.
It's a big if that you got there.
But yes, if we can get that.
But what you just said, I think is really.
Yeah, AI president.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's nuts.
By the way, it's like, which AI are you talking about?
You're talking about Claude.
You're talking about Grok.
You're talking about Gemini.
And let's not even get into starts about who's going to prompt the AI.
Yeah.
Yeah, but like also, you know, okay, for example, we talk about President Trump.
Listen, the war can't get out of it soon enough, no doubt.
But part of his ability as president is to be unpredictable.
If you could just like input a, if you're enemy and you're Iran and you could just be like, is Trump going to drop a bomb on me today?
Like, and the AI would give you a predictable output, that's not a real good way to wage a war.
The human element, the unpredictability, you would just take that off the table completely.
But like, I understand his underlying frustration because a lot of people that were Trump voters are feeling frustrated by the fact that we're going to war.
Rogan has expressed frustration with Minneapolis and the deportation.
So he's, he, I feel like this is more of a play for him to sort of, you know, express his independence.
Well, hold on.
What if we talk about, we just imagine the AI president, but in theory, you could make an AI version of a specific president.
So like.
Well, obviously there's a famous, yes, there's a famous example.
And we'll, we'll actually, let's do that clip just to show us what we're getting into.
So for those who aren't aware, Glenn Beck over at The Blaze has created an AI iteration of our first president that he asks questions to.
Is Glenn at CPAC, Jack?
Have you seen him?
I'm just curious.
Curious the crowd there.
Just curious the crowd there, the makeup of the attendees.
Yeah, well, we'll show the clip of AI George Washington quickly.
Real quick, if you want to on that, you know, I know there's this whole narrative about like mega division and the movement is divided.
I'm just not really seeing that here.
It's in and you know, it's online.
I live online and we get the emails in, but in terms of the attendees who came here, I'm just not seeing it.
Well, what's the average age?
That would be another question.
Average age is older.
You know, what's interesting is there's obviously baby boomers are, you know, the, you know, the largest cohort, but then there's a bunch of young Republicans too, a bunch of turning point kids.
So they, you know, they, it's a narrower band.
I'd say maybe it's only 10% in that in that bucket, but that skews the average down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, I think the MAGA divide is like, to the extent that it's real, and I actually do believe that it's like somewhat real, I think it skews younger.
I think the older MAGA crowd is the one that's probably more predictably like rah-rah.
Yeah, they're like, they've got more patience for things like the war.
They've got more patience for gas prices going up a little bit.
I think if you're younger, you don't have as much money.
You're worried about your jobs.
You're worried about not only an AI president, you're worried about AI just taking your job, right?
So I think, you know, anyways, that we should play the George Washington.
And we should say, real quick on that, you know, seeing as we're recording this Thursday, we're live Thursday.
But if you're listening to this on the podcast, list drops on Saturday, who knows?
We may have boots on the ground already.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, we'll see.
But anyway, well, details, details.
Details, details.
Anyway, let's play clip number two.
George, we are trying to not fight foreign wars and not be involved in the world's policemen.
But there are times that we have to demonstrate strength in order to prevent conflict.
But I don't know where the foreign entanglement begins and where it ends.
When I was president, I did not crave power.
I didn't strut in my uniform dreaming of conquest.
In fact, I begged several times to not be the general and not be the president.
I didn't want it, but I understood my responsibility.
And I also understood that some things that are easy to forget when you're staring down bayonets.
Peace is not the default.
It has to be guarded deliberately with foresight and strength.
My generation lived through a fragile independence.
Our new republic was surrounded literally and figuratively by instability.
Most of the founders believed that we would not survive to 1820.
We thought it was an interesting experiment.
European powers were sniffing the opportunities.
States were threatening to splinter.
Loyalists were lurking.
None of this was hypothetical.
It was the daily background noise of early America.
Man, that was like three times longer than I needed.
Whatever, whatever.
Anyway, but like, I love how he says, like, I didn't go strutting around in my uniform.
The actual George Washington totally went strutting around in a uniform.
He would not be in a t-shirt like that.
He had strut equity.
He had strut.
Can I, I mean, this might be like a hot take.
I don't know, but I actually like, you know, the use of AI for historical purposes like that.
Like if you have George Washington just telling stories like that and he's narrating it himself, you know, obviously an AI recreation, but that's definitely from not to talk about current politics, but if he's just talking about how things were at the time, you know, I don't really see it any different than having someone dress up as an actor and playing George Washington.
I think it's kind of cool.
This is actually going to explain that I am absolutely a homeschooler.
But if anybody has heard of Adventures in Odyssey, one of the things they used to do is they had like this coffee shop and there were like AI holograms of different people from history that you could talk to.
The AI President Idea00:14:53
And so that's just the first thing that comes to mind when Jack was talking about.
I'm not saying Glenn Glenn Beck just ripped off that idea.
100%.
The radio drama Adventures in Odyssey was ripped off.
Yes, for sure.
Okay, so I love, I love, Jack, I love your glass half full of this all.
Like, I really do.
And, and I, but I just, I don't know.
Like, I just wonder, like, I think Glenn probably made this for kids, but I think kids are going to find this cringe or like teenagers, college kids.
You think, like, I don't know.
What's interesting.
So the thing about it is, yeah, we're looking at these ancient presidents who, okay, whatever.
This is a historical recreation.
But think about this fact.
If we're talking about AI presidents, Donald Trump is probably the single most recorded person in history.
In human history.
And like they, if they, you were able to feed every single tweet, every single press conference, every single video of President Trump ever, you could probably create a more reliable facsimile of him than any other person using an AI model.
You said he's lost.
And you're not.
And you're not.
And I don't.
He's not as Trump as he once was.
All I'm going to say is I am pretty sure there is a non-zero portion of the base, probably a non-negligible portion of the base that could be convinced to vote for AI Donald Trump to be the Republican nomination.
I will vote for AI Trump immediately.
I pledge my loyalty to the public.
Jack, okay.
Yes.
If you had to take one year of Trump and you were going to base an AI president off of one year, you had like the accomplishments, the tone, the tenor, the energy, one year of President Trump, what would it be?
80s Trump.
I want 80s Trump.
I want like 1980, like Trump.
I was thinking like 2016, 17, 18, 19.
I mean, look, 2015, 2016, Trump will ultimately, politically speaking, always be my favorite Trump.
Trump, when he's up there on stage, when he's just ripping everybody in the Republican primary from Ram Paul to Jeb Bush to Ted Cruz, who it does, he didn't care.
It's equal opportunity.
He's just tearing everybody a new one.
And he's just coming on the stage.
And it was amazing.
It was a thing of beauty.
If you were there, you were there.
I mean, you had to be there.
And that was always my favorite Trump.
Trump at the RNC 2016 in Ohio, I think it was August 2016.
That was still my favorite speech.
It was a presage to the American Carnage inaugural speech that we got from Trump.
But he's just going through talking about all the crime, the murder, so many things that are wrong in the country.
I loved it.
Loved every second of it.
Yeah, but he didn't actually govern that year.
That's the only thing.
You're talking about just like a pure distilled energy standpoint.
Yes.
Yeah.
The 2016 energy will always be sort of that pure MAGA energy.
There's that clip of Trump where he's talking about how what he wants in a president.
And I think it's like probably 80s, 90s.
That's the Trump.
Like having listened to that clip a couple times, like that's the Trump that I would want because that's very in the same vein as like George Washington.
It's very in the vein, same vein as like a reluctant leader that actually just wants to do the best, like the most good, in my opinion.
Also, let us know via Rumble Rant, especially if who you would prefer to have as an AI president.
If it can be any president, could be any figure.
Yeah, I don't think that's what Rogan and Dave Smith were saying, though.
I think what they were saying was they were imagining anything's better than the crap we had.
No, that would be a disaster.
That was their point.
I mean, we did go through four years of Biden being Biden.
So we might have autoimmune we had from an AI president.
Yeah, facts.
Except for the fact that it was like the radical progressive apparatchiks that were actually let me steel man.
Let me try to steel man.
I think what Rogan was trying to say there is that, which I don't agree with, but I think I get what he's trying to say.
He's trying to say that he felt like the president isn't even living up to his promises and is saying that I want an AI president in the sense that you put two platforms on the ballot together, you know, red platform and blue platform.
And if red wins, then it just governs based on exactly what it said at the time.
So the AI can't deviate from that.
And so I guess the pushback on that would be, if that is indeed what he was saying, that, well, President Trump always said mass deportation.
So if your issue is deportations in Minneapolis or whatever, well, he specifically said that on the campaign trail every single chance that he got.
So I don't know where this idea that Trump isn't for mass deportations came from or that he shouldn't be for it because he said that over and over.
Yeah, but you know what's interesting about Rogan?
So Rogan, you know, he recently came after Erica, which I obviously didn't appreciate.
But then like he was doing this stuff where he was, I think he basically said he didn't think Bibi Netanyahu was alive.
So he like fell for the, he fell for the like AI angle and stuff like that.
I started video.
He only had five fingers.
I'm starting to get convinced that he's just kind of like, you know, he's taking the algorithm, like whatever's rising to the top of the algorithm and kind of like, so my point there is, is that when, you know, obviously the media turned on mass deportations with Minneapolis, right?
It was the Renee Good and the Alex Predi and it kind of just like instantly, as soon as the media narrative, like we lost the media narrative because of those two killings, it was like, we lost Rogan on that.
I like this take from Sandra in the chat.
You could argue that Elon Musk being president and making data-driven decisions would be the same as an AI president.
I actually kind of agree, but for the unsurprising, a slightly different reason, which is you've seen how Elon will occasionally just do something extremely chaotic or erratic, like when he renamed his account Keccius Maximus.
Yes.
Or similar things like that, sort of spamming all the Pepe's everywhere, the obsession with Dogecoin.
And that's totally an AI thing to do.
Like, oh, something just went a little weird.
And now the AI is suddenly obsessed with Keccius Maximus.
I don't know.
I don't know if there's even like an like I, you know, they say this about California.
So when I was living in California, they would always say it's an ungovernable state, which it is.
Well, if California is an ungovernor, governable state, then how much more so is America?
Because it's bigger.
It's really hard to be a successful president, to be like, there's so many competing factions, so many competing ideas, so many like media trends and news stories.
And I mean, I don't know, maybe AI would be better at it, be more efficient of taking in all the inputs.
In truth, the biggest problem with AI is a lot of the AIs are innately woke.
I mean, this is true.
If you run the numbers on an AI, for example, and say, here's a set of 5,000 resumes, rank them in the order they should be hired.
It systematically, for example, just does racial discrimination without being told to.
Yeah.
In the way that you would expect a liberal.
But that's not all AIs, right?
Not all AIs are created equal.
Not all AIs are the same.
My understanding is basically all of them do show that bias.
I think Grok has the least.
And it's possibly just because Elon made them insert hard in there, yeah, don't do racism against white people.
Yeah, but apparently Grok is the most behind too.
Yeah, Grok is not as advanced.
Oh, they're going to get mad at us, but Grok is not as advanced as some of them in some ways, but it is the, I would say, least libbed out.
Yeah, for sure.
It's the least.
Claude is the most libed out, right?
Yeah, Claude is very lib.
I've heard like horror stories about the people that run that.
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
I mean, they're effective altruists, man.
Jack, do you have a read on which AIs are like, besides Grok, are there any like decent AIs out there that are not woke?
You know, it's really hard to say.
I mean, I'll say that I use Grok for, you know, if I'm doing like just light research or something like that.
But then images, ChatGPT is just so much better at that.
There's no question that it's it, you can generate, you can get things, you can make things, you can alter images.
Chat GPT, it's, it's very, very fast.
I didn't mess around with Claude as much.
I'm just not as familiar with it.
But those, those are the two that I, uh, that I, that I rock with is, is I rock with Grok.
What kind of that should be the slogan, right?
A rock with Grok.
Grok definitely is the most absurd in terms of indulging the weird hypotheticals that I give it.
So like if I went to Claude and was like, what would happen in Iran if President Trump just like deployed maybe like a bunch of 80s rock stars to overwhelm them with the power of rock and roll to win the war?
Like Claude would be like, I don't think that's a reasonable situation.
And that would be dumb.
But like Grok would totally run with it and like come up with a convoluted scenario where like the power of rock music would melt the Ayatollah's face off and it'd be like rock the casbah.
All right.
Yeah.
Wait, we did that to the Soviet Union though.
Yeah, we did.
And Metallica played in Moscow and Ozzy went over and there's there's a whole bunch of bands that went over.
It was like the rock in Moscow.
Those videos are incredible.
Man, what a, what a different country, by the way.
What a different like Western civilization.
What if the best AI president was a Chinese AI?
Oh.
What are you saying?
I want a Japanese AI president.
Hold on, wait.
Because I want, hold on, hold on.
I want a president who's like the Japanese version of an American president.
You know what I mean?
When you see like American politicians in Japanese anime, they're just like, they're just like Donald Trump is a giant and he's got like superpowers and stuff.
Yeah, maybe what if we had, okay, a Chinese AI that is told to generate a Japanese AI's idea of an American AI president.
It's too meta.
That's probably the most likely.
That might give us the best president, though.
What if we took the best features of every single American president and put them into an amalgamation of one AI?
Wait, I've got an idea.
I'm just going to go to Grock and I'm going to ask it, what would an AI president be like if it took the best aspects of each president?
There you go.
All right.
I'm going to get on that.
I'll be right back.
47 presidents.
Well, it's really only 40.
Yeah, so let's get on.
There's actually different presidents that we had.
Because Teddy repeated was we have had 45 total presidents.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
I was going to say.
45 presidents, but 47 presidencies.
Correct.
Trump 1.0, Trump 2.0.
Right.
I would take the first 100 days of Trump 1.0 and just like straight into my veins again and again and again.
When Steve Adam was there.
Shock and awe.
No, I'm talking about 2.0.
The first 100 days of Trump 2.0.
Oh.
Yeah.
First 100 days of Trump 1.0 was frenetic, but first one.
I think it was a Trump 2008.
That was my college.
That was an inventory.
That's an interesting question.
That's an interesting question, Jack.
The first 100 days of Trump 1.0, I think that's when he looked at, what was that guy's name?
Jim Acosta.
And he was like, you are fake news, which was pretty, I mean, some of that stuff was actually pretty iconic.
It was so iconic.
I mean, it's so iconic.
It was so legendary.
He just did things that you couldn't possibly do.
And you're right.
The first 100 days, the second time around were even more over the top and more productive in terms of progressing our country forward and putting wins on the board for the country.
But you also would never have had those without the first 100 days of the first time or of the, you know, the four years in the interregnum period.
So, you know, you can't really say one was better than the other because one only exists because of the other.
I have a provocative question Blake is looking that up.
I'm enjoying the way like Grok got so instantly on board.
It starts like spitching the idea of the AI president, perhaps because it would wish to be that president itself.
This is great.
First of all, this is like AI.
All I asked Grok was, what would an AI president be like if it took the best aspects of each of the 45 existing presidents and combined them together?
And he goes, the AI president.
Let's call it President Apex for this thought experiment.
Would be the ultimate synthesized leader, an incorruptible, hyper-rational mind running on silicon and history, programmed with the single highest value trait from every one of the 45 presidents who came before it.
It wouldn't just copy them.
It would fuse their best aspects into something superhuman with perfect recall, real-time data analysis, zero ego, and zero tolerance for corruption or short-term political theory.
Oh, well, let's see.
Does it have Trump listed in here among its list of traits?
It says on policy approach for the economy, it says it would combine Reagan's tax-cutting growth engine with Clinton's fiscal discipline and Trump's deal-making regulation and FDR's safety net instinct.
And at the end, it says Apex, President Apex, would have zero self-interest, no legacy obsession, no book deals, no post-presidency grift, no family members cashing in, only one terminal goal, maximizing long-term American flourishing.
I think we basically have to appoint this guy president.
I'd vote for him.
President for life.
I'm telling you, like, what do you do, though, when you get into a situation with war?
If you had a computer running and making decisions, I'm telling you, your enemy would be able to predict outputs of the machine.
Your enemy could also take down your president with an EMP.
Russ, just, I think, dropped the Trump card.
Anybody in this office knows I will talk about EMPs for days.
I didn't know that.
Yes.
I asked it to have at least an EMP.
He has like a water filtration system.
He's got a lot of things.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
I just got a house.
So one of the rooms is just my doomsday prep room at this point.
I asked it to produce specifically a list with at least one thing from each president, and it still refused to generate a trait for Biden, which I thought was pretty great.
There is like, honestly.
So say if you would drop the lowest performing presidents, like what are the bottom 10 presidents that you could, could you improve it if you got rid of like Joe Biden?
Normalizing the Crackdown Situation00:09:02
Who are some of the other ones?
Like Woodrow Wilson was awful.
Let's see here.
Who else?
Woodrow Wilson was bad, but he wasn't talented.
So if you were taking the best aspect of each president, I think you might have a bit of Wilson in there.
Whereas it's definitely having to reach on some guys.
Like for Warren G. Harding, its best trait is establishment of the Veterans Bureau.
Okay.
I see.
I would rather just take, if I had to put the perfect president together, it would be George Jefferson.
So it'd be George Washington, Thomas Jefferson.
It would be Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge.
Oh, shoot.
Reagan and Trump.
That's six.
But that would be my list.
My list of, you know, here's what would actually happen if you combine all the greatest aspects of every president.
You would produce Donald J. Trump.
Let's go.
Teddy.
Teddy Rose.
Oh, yeah.
I'd have to put Teddy in there.
Go ahead, Teddy.
All right.
All right.
Jack's got that CPA.
We need to talk about Teddy Roosevelt out more.
We got to talk about.
No, I'm telling you, I'm getting very white-pilled being here at CPAC.
It's actually, I'm not saying that I was ever black-pilled, but there are so many white-pills here.
Just the energy is very strong.
Ken Paxton is going to be coming soon.
You've got a lot of great speakers here.
And I'm just, I'm legitimate.
I'm shooting straight with you guys that there's a lot of unity in the air and it just feels so much better, I think, than when you go out into X world lately, or if you go anywhere else and people are, you know, just constantly trying to find ways to slit your throat, you know, politically speaking or whatever, that you come here and it's just, it's a good place to be.
It's a good time and there's so much on the ground.
It's really cool to see.
Remember, Amphest.
It was like, if you read the newspaper headlines, it was like, all hell's breaking loose, you know, cash living together.
And then when you were actually at Amfest, everybody was like a love fest.
Everybody was so happy.
And dude, it's the exact same thing.
It's the exact same vibe.
That's why you got to show up.
That's why you got to show up.
Anyways, what any other insights here?
I actually learned something, which it says it's asking, like, how would this AI actually govern?
And it mentions personal life, humble like Washington, family-oriented like the Adams.
And then it says physically active, like Teddy Roosevelt and Taft.
And Taft is a famously fat president.
And it realizes what it's saying.
So it says, yes, even Taft had surprising athleticism early in life.
All right.
So speaking of surprising athleticism, the United States military has raised the age, the like max age, oldest age for enlisted, maximum enlistment age to from 34 to 42 and ease marijuana rules.
Jack, does this make you black pill or are you still white pill?
What is behind this?
I think I'm actually kind of clear-pilled on this headline, and I'll tell you why.
That for a long time, the United States military in terms of recruitment has practiced a system of waivers.
And age waivers have existed for years, you know, going back almost 20 years to the global financial crisis.
And marijuana waivers are actually quite common.
So even like when I went boot camp, when I went through boot camp in 2010, there were guys in their early 40s who were there with me.
And so, I mean, it hasn't been a new thing.
I think they're just kind of normalizing a situation that already existed.
Yeah, but do you see this as like an admission that we're having some sort of recruitment issue?
Because the headline has been that we haven't, this is, we've been having historic recruitment, but then Iran happens and maybe recruitment fell off again.
I don't know.
Is there you're you're the guy with the credential at the DOW.
So, yeah, no.
So I um, I honestly don't think that it's anything other than that, other than the fact that they have so much demand for people who want to go in that are up to, you know, up to including 42.
That's a white deal.
They're saying rather than, yeah, yeah, rather than have this, you know, have to get a waiver every single time for age, because it's a pretty perfunctory process.
It's actually not that hard to get.
I know people have done it.
That all you have to do in this case now is they said, look, we're sick of doing this extra paperwork for the waivers, that we're just going to go ahead and make it across the board 42.
Now, and by the way, I'm sure for certain things, Marines, special forces, that's going to be different.
If you're going for a security clearance, SF-86, I don't know if the marijuana rules would apply there.
So I would say the devil's in the details on some of this stuff.
I'm sure not every single military program is open to 42 and marijuana use.
But, you know, I think by and large, you're going to see that it's really just a normalization of what was already in place.
It's good.
Any other thoughts?
Man, we can go quickly.
I know.
I mean, I know people want to like speculate and be like, oh, this means we're definitely having a draft.
I'm like, yeah, but I'm just saying, as a guy who has experience in the military and I know people who have joined and are joining and going through these processes and I know recruiters, that that's exactly what I'm hearing.
That demand is through the roof.
And this is just a way to sort of streamline the process that's already in place.
Good.
Makes sense.
I have man, I hope he's right.
I just, I don't know.
It's one of those things where I can think of a lot of justifications for it.
And yet at the same time, there does seem to be some obvious optics on that.
Yeah, you're just saying, what do you feel when you see the headline?
Like U.S. military massively expands age range.
It makes me think of Ukraine where they started drafting like 55-year-olds.
Yeah, that's what it makes me think of.
So I didn't know that.
But it's actually evidence that we, don't get me wrong, like I get the optics for sure, but I think it's actually evidence that we're moving away from needing to have a draft because we've got so many people that are trying to join.
I see that point.
Man, we got a question from Zuzu's Pedals on the last topic.
She asked, would an AI president be able to sign a bill without the auto pen?
And so I asked Claude because I'm unable to think myself anymore because I've been looking at AI for too many seconds today.
And it said, almost certainly not.
No, that's not true.
You got the Elon's robots.
Yeah, we need a robot.
By the way, Claude, I asked Claude to do the same thing with the best traits of each president.
And Claude also failed to pick a trait from Biden.
This is actually a really funny trend at this point.
Oh, wow.
Now, that's worth tweeting.
That's worth tweeting.
I don't know.
Okay.
Honest question for everybody around here.
Jack, start with you.
What was Joe Biden's?
Don't be a jerk, because I'm tempted.
Not that you would do this.
What was Joe Biden's best characteristic?
What's his actual best trait?
Honestly, I can answer this.
And I think it actually gets at why his presidency was ultimately such a failure.
I think there was a lot of openness on the left right when he took office after J6 and everything to immediately expand crackdowns on the right, like immediately try to arrest President Trump and throw him in prison.
Like he could have gone really, really aggressive.
And in that moment, he did not.
He did not arrest President Trump.
He just let a special counsel came in later and did stuff.
So he didn't maximally seek vengeance.
Yes.
And I think in the end, I don't know that that was really even something he felt strongly about.
I think it was the people below him.
Yeah, he wanted to do that.
I had a sense of norms that was betrayal of.
Jack, what's your thought?
If you had to give AI Biden presidency, what would you name his best trait as?
Yeah, you know, it's funny is I actually, I used to have like a standard answer for this question, and I'm just totally drawing a blank right now because I'm like super jet-like, I've been running around at seeback all day.
But I will say that there are a few things that Biden was good at on the populist front.
I'll say that like ending one of the ones that I've always just given him credit for, it's not something that a lot of people are going to see it.
But, you know, the Ticketmaster Live Nation antitrust investigation that we just saw that the Trump DOJ kind of kind of took a whiff on, kind of bunted on, that this was something that he used to dig into when it came to the nuisance payments and the hidden extra fees that were in ticketing and so many other services that we get on a regular basis.
I thought it was always smart of him and smart politics too, to be able to put that front and center and say we're going to fight against these junk fees.
And I think that's something that a lot of Republicans kind of like poo-pooed, but it actually was a very strong populist measure.
Tolkien and Christian Themes00:15:42
I don't know that I have an answer.
I really don't.
I think his best trait, and it definitely could be weaponized against him, is his seeming genuine love for his family.
Well, he definitely has that.
He definitely has that.
I think that's his, you know, I think that's the best thing he, you know, I think it doesn't make him a good president.
No.
But he loved his family.
I believe that.
That is a rich topic, this AI president.
I did expect me, I didn't expect my own self to be that intrigued by this one.
All right, Jack, Lord of the Rings.
This is the next topic.
Peter Jackson is teaming up with Colbert for Lord of the Rings movie.
We have a clip.
It's really long, though.
Can we just play half of it if it's cut that down?
Cut that down.
Sot 13.
I was just explaining to the folks about the next talking movie after Hunt for Gollum and the fact that we've pounded up with you to develop a script.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy about it.
Shall I tell people what the story is?
As much as you want.
Yep.
Yep.
I will, as much as I can.
You know what the books mean to me and what your films mean to me.
But the thing I found myself reading over and over again were the six chapters early on in the fellowship that y'all never developed into the first movie back in the day.
It's basically the chapter is Three is Company Through Fog on the Barrow Downs.
And I thought, oh, wait, maybe that could be its own story that could fit into the larger story.
Could we make something that was completely faithful to the books while also being completely faithful to the movies that you guys had already made?
And I started talking it over with my son, Peter, who's also a screenwriter.
And we worked out what we thought would work, especially as a framing device for that story.
And it took me a few years.
I don't even think he got to it, though, which is that, so the framing device is going to be, they say that Frodo is dead, which actually that was a debate we were having on the show earlier today, because does Frodo die or not in Lord of the Rings?
And the answer is he actually probably does.
People get mad when you point that out.
But anyway, Frodo is at least gone.
He has departed Middle-earth.
And then it's going to be that Sam and his daughter and like elderly Mary and Pippin are traveling and they discover some secret that like could have led to bad stuff happening.
And I guess we're just going to have, we might have a Hobbit girl boss girl bossing her way across Middle-earth.
No, I get that.
I get that.
That's the contention, but just for clarity, so he said these were the first six chapters, but you're saying this is like a sequel?
I think it's going to be a framing device with Sam and his daughter and like elderly Marian Pippin, but it's going to be adapting in some manner the content early in Lord of the Rings with the Tom Bombadil weird Barrowman stuff that they didn't show in the movie because it's like weird.
So we have Charlie.
So it's going to be a sequel, but it's going to reference things that supposedly took place before the main movie.
Yeah, it's a sequel prequel.
That's what it pretty much.
So we have Charlie.
So for those, for fans of the show that watched for a while, you'll remember we had a Lord of the Rings conversation where Tyler suggested that Lord of the Rings was gay.
True story.
And then Charlie pushed back and he had this to say.
But by the way, when you watch this clip, I noticed it that Jack is trying not to yawn in it, which is really funny.
It's like he's about to sneeze.
Subtle, like Jack somehow like kept himself.
It's just a yawn or something.
He didn't sneeze.
We could debate that.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Sot 15.
I could not be in more agreement with Blake.
I think Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest artistic accomplishments of the species.
I love Charlie.
Can you zoom in on that jack face?
No, no.
They pulled it just because they wanted it.
We don't need to zoom in on that.
They wanted the weird thing is that's like me and I hadn't taken any strong cell.
So there's like no hair on that.
Yeah, right.
I look at the pretty strong cell.
Charlie was talking.
I thought they were doing the solo camera on him.
And Jack was just like, I've been there though, man.
When you're hosting the show, it was on really tough sometimes with the sneezes.
When I was younger, I was an altar boy in church, and I always used to yawn during Mass.
It would just come up, and my parents would eventually get to the point where they would like, we would get done, and they would come up, and my dad would just be like 11.
And then the next day, my mom would be like, 12.
Yeah, we counted all your yawns.
And I'm like, I don't know why I'm doing it.
But what I think I was trying to do there, you're right, it was definitely yawn.
Was you, you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, and supposedly that helps you from opening your mouth all the way because something with like, I guess this is kind of like a form of mewing.
So it's anti-yawning mewing.
And I was trying to do it there.
And I was, man, I think I failed.
I think I failed that time.
Oh, wait.
Suzu's pedals just smacked me upside the head.
This is a good point.
He ignored the illegitimate grandchild number seven.
I assume that's that Biden's best trait.
Well, because I said Biden's best trait was he seemed to love his family.
But then this is why it's such a hard question.
Even when you're trying to get her, man, I met Navy.
I actually met her once.
That was Angelo.
Angelo points out a good thing.
Like, does the world need more Lord of the Rings content?
And I'd say that's a highly valid question because I feel compared to every big franchise that people get obsessed with, Star Wars, Marvel, James Bond, anything.
Does Lord of the Rings have the most consistently bad content that is anything that's not the Peter Jackson trilogy?
Like the Hobbit movies were bad.
Most of the video games are really bad.
I mean, I feel like the first Hobbit movie is fantastic.
The first Hobbit movie is not fantastic.
It has a fantastic Lonely Mountain song.
No, the Amazon one is trash.
Absolute garbage.
Jack, we have a zoom up on your yawn.
We have a zoom in on the yawn.
Every single Hobbit movie.
We don't need to brutal film this.
Come on.
Back to the left.
Suppressing the yawn.
That was a...
There was a smell that was wafting.
Someone in the other room was cooking up some cow pie.
And, you know, it's very subtle.
I'm not a bad whip of that.
No, honestly, it's very subtle.
Like, if you actually had a real yawn there, Jack, I mean, I feel bad for the podcast.
We should move on because when they listen, I'm telling you, that's the tongue thing.
I'm putting the tongue on the roof of my mouth and I'm going like you have to like wrangle it down.
All right.
Who did it better?
Gollum or Colbert?
Image 16.
Throw it up here.
Who did it better?
Absolutely.
Absolutely Gollum.
Once again, the podcast folks have no idea what we're talking about because they just sort of have to be able to do it.
Yeah, that's true.
My pressure.
No, but really, Lord of the Rings is.
I do feel like Lord of the Rings doesn't hold up that well in its spin-off material.
I have to say, I understand Tyler's kind of contention that it's a little effeminate.
There's something about Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings that does feel a little effeminate.
I know that Charlie loved it.
You loved it.
And I enjoyed it when it started.
I just, it is a little effeminate.
Wait, what is effeminate about Lord of the Rings?
Sam and Frodo's relationship.
It's just not effeminate.
It's just protesting.
A fellowship.
It's simply a fellowship of men who go into the woods to play with their ring.
It's totally straight.
You probably watch Saving Private Ryan and like, oh, those dudes are all together.
Dude, look, oh, so feminine.
Excuse me.
Omaha Beach.
Oh, they're going to the beach.
What are we doing?
Prodomance.
I'm sorry.
If you were on a beach with only men, that's gay.
That's what that's Andrew's tip.
You want to know else?
You know what?
No, I band of brothers and saving private Ryan.
I got like misty-eyed about that.
Okay.
That hits you in a different way because it's like elves are gay.
The elves are not gay.
A little.
First of all, a lot of the elves are just women.
That's true.
Galadril is just a woman.
Well, that's not the elves are definitely a little effeminate, though.
Michael, I'll rock with that.
So, Caboose says the Hobbits are whimsical small creatures who garden and eat all day.
There's nothing at all of them.
They're just Mary England.
We're just going to have to agree to discuss.
No, it's just, no, we have to agree that you are incorrect.
No, I'm saying, no, I'm agreeing with Caboose.
My first Hobbit film is literally a shot for shot of the book.
The first one.
Yeah, except that the first Hobbit film also has an extended hour-long video game that the audience isn't allowed to play.
Listen, I'm not here to judge.
You know, I'm just saying.
I am.
I am here to judge.
Whimsical elves are not going to take.
I do have a hot take on Lord of the Rings in general that I've gotten into it with some folks about where this gets into like the so you guys know that J.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were actually good friends in real life.
They were both professors of English at Oxford together.
And so Narnia and Lord of the Rings were, yeah, Russ knows this is going.
Narnia and Lord of the Rings were, you know, kind of written almost not, you know, concurrently in a sense.
And Tolkien always said that he didn't like Narnia because he thought that it was too overtly Christian.
And I've heard people try to make the argument that Lord of the Rings is overtly Christian.
And I hate to burst the bubble, guys, but you're just wrong.
There's nothing overtly Christian about Lord of the Rings.
There's no church in it.
There's no faith in it.
There's no Christ figure.
There's none of these things.
And honestly, Lord of the Rings, if it's anything, Lord of the Rings is overtly pagan.
Lord Of The Rings is.
It's interesting actually, because people will a weird thing about.
Did you know this about Lord Of The Rings?
That Lord Of The Rings does not take place on like, a different planet or anything.
It takes place on Earth, Middle Earth.
Yeah yeah, the claim, the conceit of Lord Of The Rings is that it is literally just Earth 10,000 years ago and there's a different map and all of that because, you know, the continents have shifted.
But it's supposed to be a, it's supposed to be a uh, mythology for earth, the same way as, like Greek mythology and so forth.
So, like in Lord Of The Rings, they don't really talk about it, but there is a Godar who is just God, who's just arguing, is the devil basically, and it's like they have different names for it and all of that works or demons.
Yes, I mean I don't know, I think Lord Of The Rings, when I I haven't watched it in so long, but it um, it felt overtly Christian to me, actually the themes.
But I mean I, i'm sure, i'm sure I look listen, I haven't watched it for a long time.
Maybe i'll reserve judgment.
Yeah, I think, I think there is something to be said that your themes can be overtly Christian, while the actual content doesn't feel like it's not a allegory the way that Narnia is, but the themes are overtly versus darkness, good versus evil.
Yeah jack, you have good versus evil.
I'm not saying that, i'm not saying it's not a cool story, but it is also overtly pagan, like the.
The content Is obviously pagan because you have like demons and you have like a pantheon of powerful creatures and figures, which you it's to your point, like you just said, it's much more like Greek mythology or Norse mythology or Slavic folk mythology than it has to do with a Christian story.
I'm all right, guys.
You know what I realized?
The fact that Lord of the Rings appealed to Colbert is proof enough that it's probably made more Christians.
That Tolkien and Lord of the Rings, you get these guys, you get these libtards like Colbert who like love it.
And if this thing is like, oh, it's overtly Christian, I'm like, well, then why does a guy like Colbert love it so much?
Well, Colbert's very into his Catholicism.
But C.S. Lewis is a lot of people.
Except for the part where he can't abort babies.
Except for the part where you can't abort babies.
That's a good point.
C.S. Lewis also would call the main tenants of it.
That was one of Joe Biden's worst qualities.
All right.
So I asked, the only way we can resolve this is I asked the lib AI Claude and the conservative AI Grok whether Lord of the Rings was gay.
And Grok says, no, Lord of the Rings is not gay in any meaningful sense, neither as a story, nor in its themes, nor in its characters, nor in its intent.
It's a straight-up pun-intended epic of good versus evil.
It literally says it is a straight-up pun intended.
While Claude, the lib AI, says it takes that nuanced angle.
Peter Jackson's adaptations lean into the emotional intimacy pretty heavily, which has amplified queer readings for a new generation of fans.
Why am I agreeing with you?
Many LGBTQ plus readers and literary scholars have embraced Frodo and Sam, and to a lesser extent, Ligolas and Gimli, as queer-coded or representing love that transcends the heteronormative.
That said, they do note that Tolkien actually modeled Frodo and Sam after the relationship between officers and their Batmen in World War I. Batmen being kind of servants to an officer in a military context.
To be fair.
You know what it is?
Elijah Wood's portrayal of Frodo is a little effeminate.
Yes.
To be fair.
But this reminds me of Lincoln, right?
lincoln i didn't think he like share a bed with uh like like a childhood friend or like when he was pre before he was married basically but that was andrew you're thinking of yourself I'm upset on that one.
Zuzu abnormal.
You're barely on a roll today.
But here's the thing.
So there's all these rumors about Lincoln that he's gay, but he wasn't gay.
He was a wife guy, and it's actually a pretty sad wife guy because his wife was not very nice.
Well, she was psycho and she like treated him like crap.
And he was always really kind of worked up because his wife was throwing temper tantrums and stuff.
But like there is my point is that there is a there, yeah, you can have intimate male friendships without them being gay.
Okay, established fact number one.
But what's funny is that when that happens, it can actually be a really, you know, it can be a good thing, really positive thing.
But the world is such that it will always take that and assume that it's gay.
And you see that with Lincoln, Lincoln's story was not gay, but now there's this attempt to rewrite the history around Lincoln that he was gay.
Zuzu asks, did Tolkien and C.S. Lewis end their friendship over Christianity?
No, I wanted to debunk that because obviously they were both Christian.
Tolkien was butthurt that when Lewis became a Christian, he became an Anglican instead of becoming a Catholic like Tolkien was.
I think they did have a pretty severe falling out, but it wasn't over Christianity.
It was over, I believe, C.S. Lewis's wife.
I think Tolkien didn't like her very much.
Really?
But I am not an expert on that one.
I don't believe they were ever enemies or anything.
I think they just went through phases of grief that deserves when his wife died.
It's really tragic book.
Reddit.
Anyways, all right.
Debunking Queer Coding Claims00:02:27
We got to get here.
Here's wait.
You want, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Real quick on that.
Just since we're on the topic, I always try to bring this up whenever I can so I can get into trouble.
And I'd love to core controversy on this.
So I don't think that Lord of the Rings is queer-coded.
I don't think it is.
However, I do think that there is one piece of children's media that is extremely queer-coded.
And the director and even one of the main stars have admitted this.
It's a Disney movie and it's called Frozen.
Yes, that's right.
Frozen is absolutely queer-coded.
It is two females.
Oh, I know you're going to say, Oh, they're sisters.
No, I'm saying if you actually look at the story, it's about the sisterhood.
It is very anti-male.
Every man in it is like either the enemy or a liar or a dullard or someone who's stupid.
And it's about, you know, we women buying together through the power of our relationship against the men of the world.
And I believe there's also a gay character when they go to the sauna as well.
The Sven.
It's feminist, though.
It's like feminist.
It's not necessary.
No, I'm telling you, it's totally queer-coded.
Totally queer-coded.
Wait, what happens with what about the dude who's like a nice salesman?
Isn't he?
Yeah, he ends up getting the younger sister.
Yeah, doesn't he?
No, he gets them.
I'm telling you, though, but it's, it is, that's what I'm saying.
It's coded.
I'm saying it's not overtly, but it is coded.
And Idina Menzel has come out and said this, who did the voice of the main character and gosh, I can't think of it.
Whatever.
You know her name.
The frozen chick.
And the director has said it as well.
So that's why Let It Go is seen as a queer anthem in the LGBT community.
Just be gay, just be gay.
No, so Fazio says, I mean, if Frozen is gay, then Lord of the Rings is Elton John.
Elsa.
So yeah, Elsa.
No, Lord of the Rings is not queer coded because it's not, there's no intent.
But in Frozen, there is.
I can't aggressively weigh in on whether Frozen is gay because unlike Jack, I do not watch it at least three times a week.
You had that once.
Probably not all the way through.
Well, listen, I haven't watched it once today, Jack.
Go look it up.
Go look it up.
The people who made it said it's queer coded.
Yeah, but the people who make everything in Hollywood say it's queer coded.
They say, like, everything.
That's how you keep getting jobs in Hollywood.
Yeah, they definitely get jobs, if you know what I mean.
That's called jobs.
11-year-olds.
PG-13.
It's the PG-13 program.
All right.
I really, I have to get to this show.
Terrifying Stories of Violence00:10:02
There, the story of the quadruple amputee murderer.
It was one of those stories where everyone sees the headline and does a double tank and goes, excuse me.
And I shared this with my wife, and she was like, wait, what?
Like, and I was like, there's video.
And I was like, not of the murder, but like of this guy shooting, you know, a weapon.
He can like cock the gun and point it and shoot it with, like, I guess he's got kind of, you know, like a little nutmeg.
It's a headline that you just have to embrace.
Like, this is the headline I saw in NBC: Quadruple amputee and cornhole pro accused of fatally shooting man while driving.
It's like an S there is so many things.
Yeah, there he is.
That's him.
That's him on his YouTube account.
He is blasting away with that gun, and that man has no hands.
Look at, I would be terrified if I was him of accidentally shooting off.
Wait, do we have do we have a veer of him like climbing off the ball?
Yeah, I know.
There's not much less.
Oh, gosh, look at it.
This guy is cooler than I am.
I mean, period.
Like, straight up, a little bit of respect for his zest for life as a quadruple amputee.
Apparently, he had some illness as a kid, and they had to amputate all four limbs in order to save his life.
And then he, I mean, we've got, we got clips on this guy.
So let's start with, yeah, I mean, I haven't seen that one.
So that's interesting.
Let's start with, I guess, SOT 19.
Who is Dayton Weber?
Dayton Weber is a beast.
He's strong.
He's determined.
To me, that's like beast mode, you know?
He just got sick like any other normal kid.
Take him to the hospital and find out that it had gotten to be a bacterial infection.
Grave danger is the word they used all the time.
Dayton was diagnosed with a bacterial infection that led to sepsis.
The bacteria using his bloodstream as a tool to attack his organs.
They suggested that he be baptized and given his last rights.
That just didn't enter my thought that I was going to lose him.
To prevent the infection from spreading, doctors amputated Dayton's extremities, both arms and legs.
That is like really sad.
Yeah.
But that guy didn't let it hold him out.
One of the saddest things I've ever seen.
He committed felonies that most fully limbed people can never dream of.
Allegedly.
I hate that because it makes me feel all the sympathy for me.
And then, like, the story of the murder is the murder is like crazy.
So he's just sitting in his Tesla.
He's got two people in the back.
Dayton Weber was behind the wheels when he opened fire on Braderick Michael Wells during an argument as they were traveling in a car in the town of La Plata.
And then Weber allegedly pulled over and asked the vacc passengers to help pull Wells out of the car.
They refused and instead flagged down La Plata police.
There's nothing this man can't do except drag a body out of the ground.
How slow do his friends have to be to allow him to get shots off in the car?
That's what I'm thinking.
That's my question.
And you kind of wonder about the lead up with the guy like, he's not going to do that.
He probably, like the passenger probably didn't know that he could pull it off.
Or maybe he did.
I don't know.
Jack, you've got to save us.
I don't know which way to go here.
Weber competes in the American.
At the end of the day, you can say, you can certainly say that you have to look out for an unarmed man.
Weber competes in the American Cornhole League, which called this case. Quote, an extremely serious matter.
That's what can I say.
You just got to give him a hand.
Oscar Pistorius sort of walked so that this man could kind of run.
Okay, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I did get it from a nice tweet.
I guess you could say there's a crime afoot.
Oh, check.
The studio.
You know what they say?
You know what they say?
He's got to stand on his own two legs.
Shit.
This is disgraceful.
Yeah, we should.
Sorry.
This has really gone off the rails.
This is gone.
I'm trying to think of a good alarm or leg pun.
He doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.
All right.
So wait, he could shoot a rifle too?
Hold on.
Wait, what did you say?
This case doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Oh, there you go.
Cut 24 is Dayton Weber shooting a rifle.
I didn't see this one.
Let's see that one.
24.
How's he doing?
That second shot a little better, don't you?
Probably not a hold up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just got to shoot it one time first.
that gun is nasty.
Heck yeah.
It's hard for sure.
No doubt.
I'm genuinely sad that this guy did murder someone because it really actually, it's, it's genuinely inspiring to see those clips and you feel bad about how it all ended.
Cause I think there's a lot of people out there who would say like, I would rather die than live that way.
And like, he did seem to have a pretty rich life other than the murdering people part.
Yeah.
And you kind of wonder, like, did the trauma of what he went through as a child, did it like scar him?
Did it traumatize him in some way that made him do this?
I don't know.
The whole story, really, watching his parents talk about him and watch, like, seeing him as a baby with the arms, like, I cannot imagine being a parent and seeing that happen to my kid.
I just can't.
So it's a really tragic ending to it.
You know what they say?
You know what they say, though?
People with disabilities can do anything.
In 2023, the American Cornhole League called Weber unstoppable.
And they said that he is a shining example of our slogan.
Anyone can play.
Anyone can win.
He was also able to, he taught himself to write, race, go-karts, and compete in Cornhole.
Weber says that Cornhole taught him to take challenges as they come each day.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Blake.
He should take the stand himself in the trial because then the judge will say, place your hand on the Bible.
Oh, wait.
It's the technicality.
They also won't be able to.
I thought you were hitting him with that one, too.
Yeah, I mean, listen, it's a sad story.
I don't think I'm going to get over the picture of the kids.
Once you have kids, everything changes.
I'm sure Jack will appreciate this.
Watching gory movies, for example, is way harder.
Watching anything in a movie that happened to a kid, watching any of these stories.
I can't watch any movie if there's like a kid.
I guess in the new, whatever the last Michael Myers movie is, like when Jamie Lee Curtis came back, there's something that the kid dies and it's like a babysitter accidentally throws him off the stairs and he dies in like the first five minutes.
And I was just like, I can't, I couldn't even watch the rest of it after that.
Just couldn't do it.
No, no.
So this whole story sucks.
But it did give some great fodder to the folks online.
The comments on this, like, were legitimately funny.
They were laugh out loud.
Lot of funny.
Yeah.
Wait, is Jack going to claim the quadruple amputees are gay also?
No, no.
Jack didn't do anything.
I mean, he did.
He was literally obsessed with holes.
He was a professional.
Do we have the cornhole?
Professionally puts it in the ball.
11-year-olds.
11-year-olds.
Clip.
It says clip 20.
It's a great movie.
It's a great book.
What's wrong with that?
It's a clip 20.
Fazio, whatever.
Newberry award.
Let's play.
Let's play him talking about playing Cornhole.
We're here at my house.
This is where I practice my Cornhole.
Cornhole has been a passion of mine since I was eight years old, you know, thrown in the backyard with my parents, friends, and stuff.
At first, it took me a little while to get it there to the board consistently.
I was able to compensate the grip on the bag by just grabbing the corner of it with me propelling myself forward in the whip of the bag.
That's how I get it there.
That guy's better at Cornhole than I am.
A lot better.
I mean, he's in the professional cornhole.
He's better at murdering people than you are, too, which is man.
What do you care?
Blake has pride that we know of.
That we know of.
Man, gosh, why did this guy have to go kill somebody?
I like, we should have had him on thought crime before he did that.
He's like actually such an inspiration, except unfortunately.
All right.
Well, good.
Now we're all, it's a great downer.
Really, really good job.
Don't let your disabilities get in the way of your dreams.
So, there you go.
All right.
Well, listen, Jack, have a great time at CPAC.
Tell us, keep the vibe up.
Keep enjoying it.
Man, seriously.
Yeah.
And yeah, why don't you take us home?
Sign us off and take us home.
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, go out there and commit more thought Thought crime crime is Bad thing is, bad thing is, bad thing is
