April Fools Streamer Intro
00:03:33
|
|
| Check locals and see when they come in on YouTube and say good morning. | |
| Who's first? | |
| Good morning. | |
| Steven is first again. | |
| And Steve the Texan is like a Steve thing. | |
| You guys should swap numbers. | |
| Okay, let me turn on my locals. | |
| I want to see. | |
| Good morning, everybody. | |
| Happy April Fools. | |
| There will be no practical joking here today. | |
| Well, except on my mom about 50 years ago, there was a little joke pulled on her. | |
| What was it? | |
| That was the day I was brought into this crazy movie. | |
| That's right. | |
| It's Kyle's birthday. | |
| Oh my gosh, that's true. | |
| Happy birthday. | |
| We have Kyle on, and he is so nice to us that he's on his birthday. | |
| Birthday 21 again. | |
| Can you guys see the streamers? | |
| Yes. | |
| Okay, good. | |
| That was my special effect. | |
| I always see streamers. | |
| That's just my hand. | |
| So, welcome in, everyone. | |
| We're going to let you guys catch up and come in. | |
| And yes, we have Kyle Becker with us today. | |
| We'll tell you just a little bit more about him after we do our sip. | |
| And in the meantime, Beverly, I just want to put this picture up really quick. | |
| This is from our own Beverly. | |
| Let me make it bigger, who has a dollhouse collection. | |
| This is inside of one of the dollhouses. | |
| Can you not stand this? | |
| Wow. | |
| Look at all the detail. | |
| Look at all the pies. | |
| Oh, wow. | |
| That's very detailed. | |
| Beverly, you didn't know I was going to do that, but I enjoyed that. | |
| All right. | |
| I think we're going to be here today, but because of something that he had. | |
| I think the agency needed him. | |
| Yes, the agency. | |
| Okay. | |
| So listen, guys, let's do something so we can do something. | |
| Ready? | |
| Grab a vessel. | |
| Is it playing? | |
| Not for me. | |
| One more time. | |
| Okay, ready? | |
| Here we go. | |
| We don't talk about these things without the proper preparation. | |
| Imagine. | |
| Imagine trying to talk about these topics without the simultaneous sip. | |
| I can't even imagine it, can you? | |
| But luckily, you won't have to imagine it for long. | |
| Because all you need to enjoy this conversation is a cup or a mugger or a glass, a tank or a chalice or styron, a Canteen jugger flask, a vessel of any kind. | |
| Kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. | |
| I like coffee. | |
| And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous zip. | |
| Go. | |
| Yup, just as good as I thought it would be. | |
| Every time. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| I think it's even better than I thought it was going to be. | |
| So, welcome to the Scott Adams School, everybody. | |
| Today is Wednesday, April 1st, 2026. | |
| I am Erica and Marcella's here with me. | |
| And we have a special news host joining us today. | |
| It's Kyle Becker. | |
| I know we're like, how do we get to Kyle? | |
| So, Kyle, I had to ask ChatGPT to give me a rundown on you. | |
|
Corporate News Authority Crisis
00:15:24
|
|
| And I don't know how accurate it is, but I will say you have done a lot. | |
| Like, I was looking. | |
| So, you worked as a writer and associate producer at Fox News, including on Hannity. | |
| Right. | |
| True. | |
| Okay. | |
| And that you now run your own news commentary outlets, including Becker News and the Becker Brief Newsletter and the Relentless Podcast. | |
| So, that's a little bit behind the times. | |
| I'm now a podcast host at Explain America on YouTube. | |
| It's sort of a faster growing conservative commentary outlet. | |
| So, I do that every day, like basically six days a week. | |
| Oh, so we, you know what? | |
| We'll put the link into our show notes so we can steer people to that too. | |
| Sure. | |
| And as I said before, you guys, today is Kyle's birthday. | |
| And when I asked him to come on, I mean, he did not even have, he's like, you know what? | |
| Let's go. | |
| Like, what better thing to do on my birthday? | |
| So the other thing too is I saw that you spent a little bit of time in Russia, which you're equating to having a cup of coffee, a little blip in your life. | |
| But that's amazing. | |
| What were you doing there? | |
| So I was just working on my master's degree. | |
| And then, like, I was. | |
| Um, working also full time as an economic news journalist, so essentially just editing like Newswire copy for subscribers and you know, uh, oil and gas things like that going on, nothing too crazy, nothing too crazy. | |
| Okay, so the and the other thing I wanted to ask you like, you're you have a really fun, interesting background, um. | |
| So, this is what I want to know because you came from like the corporate news behind the scenes stuff to independent journalism and podcasting where we all sit. | |
| And I think most of us get our news from this sort, this kind of a source now. | |
| I mean, I haven't turned on the news in years, literally in years. | |
| So, what can you tell us, like kind of behind the curtain, between like what goes on like behind the scenes at like a corporate, News plays versus independent journalism, like the restrictions versus the freedom. | |
| Like, what do you feel now? | |
| What did you notice? | |
| How's it changed? | |
| So, of course, in any kind of corporate news environment, you have to be very careful legally. | |
| You have to have all of these procedures that are put in place and safeguards to make sure that everything's factual and that everything that goes to air isn't like an attack on some poor schlub who just got mixed up in some news incident and then winds up. | |
| You know, getting mad if there's distorted coverage or whatever. | |
| So you have to be more careful in the corporate news environment. | |
| I mean, I'm careful. | |
| I take the same kind of approach. | |
| You know, whether it's a public figure, it's kind of, you have a lot more free range, obviously. | |
| But you call legal sometimes in a corporate situation. | |
| You contact the brain room to add another layer of fact checking that's like separate from your newsroom. | |
| So you're not getting into confirmation bias so much. | |
| And you have like some people who are kind of a little bit adversarial. | |
| Trying to do, oh, I got you. | |
| You're wrong about this thing. | |
| You're wrong about this thing. | |
| So that's one thing. | |
| But that obviously introduces a time hurdle. | |
| So, it wasn't such a big deal for me on primetime because we're doing news commentary wrap up on the day. | |
| That's what they settle in and they just like, okay, wrap up for me the top four or five stories that are worth talking about, knowing about, and give us some depth to these stories. | |
| Bring in some experts and people who are in Congress or whatever to talk about it. | |
| But on X, for example, where I mainly talk about the news, but besides podcasting on YouTube, I would say that. | |
| It's very nimble. | |
| It's so much quicker than I would have ever imagined the news to be. | |
| Because when someone who is an eyewitness to a story has video, has some kind of account about what happened, that can go viral within minutes. | |
| Somebody who just posts it directly, like a citizen journalist, bam. | |
| And then, so like I'm looking at all of this from the point of view what do people need to see? | |
| Like the sooner the better, I would say. | |
| In a lot of cases, of course, you have to vet. | |
| So it just, you know, you wait a little bit. | |
| I mean, you don't want to pounce still even on social media. | |
| You don't want to be like, Just amplifying stuff indiscriminately. | |
| Right. | |
| But the commentary from people who I know and respect really heightens that experience because really looking at new stories like, oh, I didn't know that. | |
| Oh, that's a different way to look at it. | |
| Oh, you're right. | |
| This is like this other event that happened like four or five years ago. | |
| You know, it's deja vu. | |
| It was all over again, you know? | |
| And then so that really helps. | |
| And if you like people who are more like, you know, from different various expertise, whether it's legal analysis or, you know, You know, citizen journalism, you know, so it's really made a much better news experience. | |
| But I think that overall, the corporate media's domination of the news environment was really harmful to our country in a lot of ways. | |
| I think that we're reforming the media. | |
| I always had set out with a mission to kind of like don't complain about the media, replace the media. | |
| And that's kind of, I see a lot of people doing that. | |
| And I'm so like excited when I see, you know, Nick Shirley, for example, who I don't know. | |
| I mean, he broke a few big cases. | |
| But those stories were there. | |
| They were like always there. | |
| But for some reason, there's a lack of curiosity in the so called mainstream media when it comes to scandals that impact their beloved party. | |
| And so I think like we're balancing out the confirmation bias. | |
| And I always thought it was harmful to journalism in America when people who go on the news or whatever have a false sense of authority. | |
| I don't like appeal to authority. | |
| Um, For the same reasons that I like John Locke and Thomas Jefferson, right? | |
| I don't like this fake authority where they're objective. | |
| I don't believe in that. | |
| I believe in debate. | |
| You know, I was on the debate team for a little bit for college. | |
| I believe we all sit down rationally like adults. | |
| We debate our politicians or our positions the best we can. | |
| And then we just kind of walk away respectfully and try to absorb. | |
| Now there's like the respect thing is really what's missing. | |
| Like we're not walking away respectfully, you know, because. | |
| In part, people are used to being treated like children in our country, not like citizens, not like independent thinkers. | |
| That's right. | |
| And so I like to say We're smart. | |
| We're smart. | |
| Just give us some information. | |
| We're smart. | |
| People blow me away all the time by how smart they are. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And, you know, when you treat people like they're intelligent, a lot of times that brings them up. | |
| It makes them think more. | |
| It makes them feel more like a part of the conversation. | |
| You're not talking down to anyone. | |
| And so, right. | |
| That's one thing I love about X and. | |
| These platforms, it's helping to level things a lot more. | |
| Do you think that it opens it up for misinformation, though? | |
| Not from you, but from other sources. | |
| Like there was, I fell for one where there was a quote alleged by the video, but the video actually didn't have that quote of this person. | |
| I won't mention names, but do you think that this fast paced ex media where it like they break the news, but their video is possibly from two years ago and not right now? | |
| Can I jump in on that? | |
| Because isn't that what the media was doing to us all the time? | |
| Think about the Charlottesville hoax. | |
| Like, the media is the one doing that all the time. | |
| I feel like this is, you know, this is just my opinion on it because I can go to X and I can just as rapidly go to like 10 different news sources, which are just citizens, people like a Kyle, and see what he's saying. | |
| I can see what they're saying. | |
| I can see what Cernovich says, what, you know, whatever, and then make up my own mind. | |
| But the news media, Told us forever that J6 was an insurrection and that Charlottesville hoax was about neo Nazis. | |
| And so that to me is more dangerous because they're the official voice. | |
| And like Kyle was saying, you know, these stories that the citizen journalists are breaking have always been out there, but nobody gives a shit. | |
| They just want their talking point and their paycheck. | |
| And if you really, really love journalism, like go find these stories. | |
| Like look at what Nick's doing and be like, Pick a state and go to that state and find the corruption there. | |
| So that's why I trust the citizens more than I would ever any news corporation. | |
| And Kyle, now you can answer that too, but that gets me. | |
| Sure. | |
| So, what they were trying to do in the mainstream media is create an echo chamber. | |
| It's a propaganda technique. | |
| It goes back to like public relations strategy. | |
| You repeat, you repeat, repeat, repeat, reinforce. | |
| So, they would spread a hoax, whether it be Charlottesville or J6 hoaxes that are related to those stories, obviously. | |
| And they would very rarely, if ever, go back and correct those. | |
| They would just put it out in the ether. | |
| That was it. | |
| Then they would drive by media, as Rush Limbaugh used to say. | |
| They would just go move on to the next story, right? | |
| So, I mean, and Scott had that great meme that he posted about all of the different hoaxes. | |
| Like, if you fell for this, you know, like, you know, take a look at what the meat. | |
| And it was a very impressive list of just like, you know, it's just gobsmacking when you look at it right in front of you. | |
| Because I remember fighting every one of those hoaxes like, okay, here's the Paul Harvey rest of the story about all of these different hoaxes. | |
| And so they're reinforcing that X is a very level and sort of egalitarian in a sense. | |
| And that means that misinformation can catch fire. | |
| But the difference is that I think you get burned a few times. | |
| Everybody gets, you know, people get burned occasionally, like here and there, whether you're like commenting on something that's kind of distorted, you know, like, oh, it's very provocative, right? | |
| And so you're just like, and you watch the video and you go, oh, yeah, it fits. | |
| And then you go back, it's like, well, 20 seconds before he said something different. | |
| So it's kind of like out of context or whatever. | |
| You know, you get, you know, everybody gets burned in a little bit sometimes. | |
| But the difference is that they, you know, what happens when you get burned? | |
| You adjust, you, Get more rigorous with your fact checking, get more critical. | |
| You think, oh, this video could be AI, it could be faked, it could be out of context. | |
| So it's learning. | |
| So for me, if you go back to like ancient Greece, I know it's a little bit random, but let's go back. | |
| Talk about Aristotle and he talks about what is a citizen. | |
| You're participating in society. | |
| So what is happening is with X, it's kind of a civil society in that we're participating in journalism. | |
| We're not being told like, you know, Moses bringing down the 10 commandments and, you know, here's, Here's the news. | |
| Now, that's not happening anymore. | |
| We're participating in the news together, and it's bringing us more into a society of critical thinkers. | |
| And the better we do that as a community of just independent Jews, that word's misused sometimes, but as a collective, let's maybe use a better word of independent journalists, it has a good spill-down effect. | |
| And I think when you look at Gen Z and their attitudes, if you look at the polling, they're much more skeptical of everything. | |
| Because they're seeing this play out where we're arguing, they're not getting this top down authority from the news as much anymore. | |
| They're seeing that it's kind of a battlefield of narratives or whatever. | |
| So, what does this mean for Gen Z? | |
| I think it means that they're very skeptical, but I also think that we need to balance that out with more like a national identity where we embrace values again, like freedom of thought, freedom of religion. | |
| And so, kind of one of the big stories this week obviously played into like freedom. | |
| Yeah. | |
| We're going to cover that too. | |
| I think it's such a good talk. | |
| Like, I appreciate this whole opening dialogue because, you know, I think the what ifs, what if Elon didn't get Twitter? | |
| You know, what if. | |
| Twitter was still under control of the FBI and the left. | |
| Like, I mean, literally one day, I got suspended so many times on Twitter for literally, I mean, yes, I can be mouthy, but I never said anything nutty like that I would ever need to be suspended for. | |
| I mean, when Mike Pence was running for president or whatever, yeah, and he was so bad and whatever, I said, oh, stick a fork in him, he's done. | |
| They banned me for trying to threaten him, like, I was like, do you people understand nuance? | |
| I'm not saying stick a fork in Mike Pence. | |
| It's a saying, stick a fork in him, he's done. | |
| Like, it's a, it's a, oh, anyway. | |
| So, but that's just how censored we were. | |
| So, thank God for Elon on so many levels and for everybody that, you know, had to suffer along the way. | |
| I mean, a lot of people getting canceled. | |
| Like, we will not forget you. | |
| Okay. | |
| So, I am going to just very, very lightly go over this story because I can just. | |
| Picture Scott laughing at Marco Rubio's new job. | |
| So, again, stick it on my head. | |
| So, reports surfaced this week claiming that Christy Nome's husband, Byron Nome, had allegedly been participating in a private online fetish community involving cross dressing and exaggerated bimboification role play. | |
| So, anyway, I'm not going to go on too much more about it. | |
| Only bring up this story to show you Marco Rubio's new job, and here it is the man can do anything. | |
| So, Marco, thank you for being a patriot and taking one for the team. | |
| You are a gem, and I think he wears it well. | |
| Um, so and I could just hear Scott's jokes, and like I know all of you probably have dad jokes and everything else that would have been so funny. | |
| And uh, but I saw that Marco meme this morning, and I'm like, I'm in, okay, so. | |
| All right, one story I want to kick off with because we just mentioned Jaden. | |
| So, Kyle, can you just give me like a one sentence thing about what's going on? | |
| I want to play the clip and then we'll come back and discuss what's happening. | |
|
Jaden Ivey NBA Values Clash
00:10:08
|
|
| So, this NBA team, the Chicago Bulls, they waved a young player named Jaden Ivey after his religious views, his pro Christian criticism of Pride Month surfaced. | |
| So, that's the setup. | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| Okay. | |
| So, here's Jaden talking on a live stream. | |
| They said my conduct is detrimental to the team, right? | |
| Why didn't they just say we don't agree with his stance on LGBTQ? | |
| Why didn't they say that? | |
| How is it conduct detrimental to the team? | |
| What did I do to the team? | |
| What did I do to the players? | |
| I did nothing but practice with them, play with them, pass the ball to them, good teammate to them, said good job, good shot. | |
| I said good job, good job, good pass. | |
| Way to play, bro. | |
| Right? | |
| I said these things to my teammates. | |
| It was never detrimental to them. | |
| So why is it that the NBA and the Chicago Bulls say that I'm detrimental to the team? | |
| How? | |
| Because I believe in the truth? | |
| Because I know Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life? | |
| How? | |
| How is my conduct detrimental to the team? | |
| Because of what I believe, because of what the truth is. | |
| So that gives you a good sampling. | |
| That broke my heart when I watched that. | |
| There's a few clips like that. | |
| And I feel so bad. | |
| You know, it's like he's right. | |
| He was probably a perfect teammate, but they don't like his values and his personal opinion. | |
| So is that where we're at with this? | |
| Yeah, for the most part, that's true. | |
| I think there's a possibility we see more to the story come out. | |
| Jaden Ivey, obviously, he's a very outspoken Christian and he had some questions about Pride Month. | |
| And I mean, we have to think about this. | |
| This is an entire month donated to celebrating, not just tolerating, but celebrating LGBTQ. | |
| So this may feel like to some Christians, like you're speaking for me. | |
| Like you are celebrating this for me. | |
| Whereas, you know, the Bible that I read has a different perspective on all of this. | |
| And I go with the Bible and not what the league says. | |
| This is the problem with these sports leagues amplifying woke politics. | |
| They are trying to act like all the players agree with it, and they try to silence those players who speak up. | |
| And this is a very extreme action to waive a player for questioning Pride Month. | |
| And I try not to overstate this, but the goal of the left is a type of totalitarianism. | |
| And I'm not saying that lightly or to be sensationalistic. | |
| I've studied a lot of this stuff, you know, and I think that a lot of Americans. | |
| Culturally speaking, we're like fish who don't even know we're wet when it comes to cultural Marxism. | |
| I don't think that people know what it means, but it's essentially anti God and anti family. | |
| And if you go back to Black Lives Matter and all those rights, go back to what the founders, like Patrice Galores and all of them, said about it, they are explicitly anti family and anti Christian. | |
| And so Jaden Ivey, he's a Christian and he spoke out and they didn't feel comfortable what he said. | |
| The way they tried to spin it is very reminiscent to me of what they did in the Soviet Union. | |
| Whenever you disagreed with the Bolsheviks and they couldn't get their hands on you, they just said you were crazy. | |
| And then in some cases, they did institutionalize people in mental asylums for disagreeing with Marxism. | |
| But there were some players who are Christians who I know who spoke up on his behalf and posted Bible verses and positive Bible verses and talking about being persecuted for Christ's sake, essentially. | |
| Travion Henderson, a running back with the Patriots, he is not going to get cut by the Patriots for saying a Christian thing, right? | |
| He's a very good player. | |
| He's recognized in the league as one of the better running backs. | |
| But his coach even had to throw cold water on him. | |
| You have to wonder, you know, Vrabel, Coach Vrabel, he was like, well, we have to make sure we're being inclusive. | |
| Well, they're being exclusive of Christians, period. | |
| That's true, yeah. | |
| So the way that these sports leagues have been weaponized as an arm of the left is something that, you know, a lot of people who follow these sports are very sensitive to it, we recognize it. | |
| You know, the NBA's ratings is down, and that has been something that's gone on since COVID. | |
| They started the full on Black Lives Matter thing, kneeling. | |
| A lot of this, whether you agree or not, of course, Black Lives Matter. | |
| This is an argument against exactly nobody. | |
| And it's actually an accusation against people who disagree with the left that you don't care about Black people. | |
| That is not the case. | |
| The problem is you're lying. | |
| You are lying about homicides, like police shootings, for example. | |
| There was a Black Harvard economist. | |
| Ronald Freuder, I believe, he went to the New York Times, published an exhaustive analysis of this. | |
| Said, when you adjust for incidents, there's no racial bias when it comes to police shootings. | |
| And of course, they couldn't handle that. | |
| So, think of all the damage that black communities are sending them on fire over lies. | |
| And so, they lost a lot of Americans. | |
| And punishing someone like Jaden Ivey just confirms once again that these sports leagues are ideologically captured. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Let me get Marcella in here. | |
| Marcella, do you have a take on this? | |
| So, to me, Jaden Ivey is under contract. | |
| His contract probably indicates that he's not supposed to talk about these things. | |
| So, to me, I know that there's this. | |
| Argument of First Amendment rights, but as you know, when you have an employer and you have a contract and you're under contract, that's different. | |
| You don't have that freedom of speech that you would as a private citizen, where he was arguing it with them. | |
| So I see their side as well. | |
| If he, you know, I feel like he's just trying to get. | |
| Attention, you know, I see that some of the people think that Jaden Ivey is not such a good player and that he may just be trying to get attention. | |
| Now, I agree with him. | |
| He has a right to say that, and it's great to hear, you know, Jesus Christ being put up there. | |
| But at the same time, I can see the NBA side of the story, but there needs to be a change for the NBA, and we vote with our views, you know, so we're not watching the NBA. | |
| You know, but I think what Scott would say, and he would always bring this up Michael Jordan would never talk politics because he wanted everybody to buy his shoes. | |
| So I don't know why the NBA is getting into Pride Month to begin with because it's pushing away people from watching. | |
| So, I'm at the point now where I see a pride flag and I walk away because I'm like, oh my God, I'm so over it. | |
| Like, I don't care what anyone's doing in their personal life, but all right, already, like, shut up. | |
| So, like, why are you so special? | |
| Excuse me. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, listen. | |
| Striking thing for me is that we have Pride Month, but we have the 4th of July, like one day. | |
| Better than one Memorial Day. | |
| Are they saying Pride Month is more important than Memorial Day? | |
| I have a hard time wrapping my mind around all of this. | |
| If the message was simply you had one day, you're trying to be more inclusive, I'm not against that on its face to be more tolerant and to be more caring and considerate and see like your fellow Americans, they may have different lifestyle than you. | |
| And we live in a free society, so that's okay. | |
| That would be one thing. | |
| But an entire month, it's a little bit trying to get your dominance. | |
| You're right. | |
| But I also don't need my NBA or my NFL or. | |
| MBL to be celebrating these months. | |
| I don't need the, I need the, I need to watch the games and that's it. | |
| You know, I'm a great sports fan. | |
| Without thinking about it. | |
| Without thinking about the politics. | |
| That's why I go to sports so that I, and everybody else does, so they're not thinking Iran. | |
| They're not thinking Pride Month. | |
| You know, it's like, it doesn't make sense. | |
| Do the Michael Jordan thing. | |
| That's yes. | |
| Let's be Michael Jordan, please. | |
| Be like Mike. | |
| Be like Mike. | |
| Let's go. | |
| And like Marcella said, you know, vote with your views. | |
| Don't support it. | |
| Don't buy their gear. | |
| Don't, you know, or buy the gear of that one guy if you like his stance. | |
| But I wish all, I wish all like public things like that would just stop. | |
| Like, just stop. | |
| Let us freaking breathe. | |
| Let us enjoy something. | |
| Like, if you ask me whether Larry Bird was a Christian or not, I wouldn't know. | |
| I want to know. | |
| Magic Johnson wouldn't know because they didn't use to talk about these things. | |
| That's why people were so into it because they didn't, we don't, you know, we do care for Christian values and all that to be spread. | |
| But at the same time, NBA is not there for that. | |
| I haven't gone to a movie or watched any of these, like, oh, you're watching this on Netflix. | |
| No, because I know everyone's freaking opinion. | |
| I don't want to know your opinion. | |
| I just want you to be that character for me to entertain me so I cannot think about all this other stuff. | |
| But, like, do you, like, oh, like, I mean, Punchy De Niro is making me so mad because he's in so many of my favorite films. | |
| And I'm like, oh, you know, like, you're ruining everything. | |
| You're ruining your own legacy. | |
| You're ruining your own industry. | |

Election Integrity Voter Losses
00:09:56
|
|
| And really, they have destroyed. | |
| Hollywood. | |
| I mean, somebody is getting me going. | |
| Don't let me mention Steve Kerr. | |
| Like, he doesn't get banned from the NBA, but he's a coach of the Golden State Wars. | |
| And he, at his pressers, always talks badly about Trump, always talks badly, all these political things. | |
| But yet, this guy, Jaden Ivey, gets hammered for this. | |
| But yet, all the other players that are on the right side of their views, The woke side, they never get censored. | |
| By the way, we're a Christian founded country, and we see you. | |
| He'll be back. | |
| But we see you, and I do wish anywhere that the public spends their money and time that they would just have some consideration for how we feel and to stop with the shenanigans. | |
| Okay, let's move on to a different story. | |
| Anywho, so if that doesn't enrage you enough, I have another clip. | |
| So, Kyle, here he comes. | |
| Okay, so here's another clip. | |
| This is Vodka Pelosi, as some people call her. | |
| I'm giving you a warning in case you want to plug your ears. | |
| This is not AI. | |
| This is our beloved Nancy Pelosi. | |
| And listen to what she is saying about elections and voting. | |
| Shocking. | |
| We always have concerns, but with this, President and these Republicans who have no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way, we're ready. | |
| We have three purposes now. | |
| One is to win the midterms, two is to make sure the elections are safe, and three, to tell people what we will do when we win. | |
| And that is the mission. | |
| There are so many things that you can do to protect the election. | |
| And they are being done, whether it's litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all that. | |
| But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. | |
| They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count. | |
| How do you guard against that? | |
| That's a challenge. | |
| Oh, how, why would she think creeping into the technology? | |
| That's so interesting. | |
| And the rule of law at, oh, oh, she is fascinating. | |
| All right, Marcella, you take this first because I have to calm down. | |
| It's interesting that she comes out with, they do have a plan. | |
| So there is backroom talks between them and the rest of them. | |
| You know, they always deny it. | |
| I think she's afraid of losing. | |
| And that's a good sign to me that she's out there. | |
| Remember, as Scott would call her, the designated liar. | |
| She's one of the designated liars that goes out there and gives their propaganda going. | |
| But what interests me is that she is afraid to lose, you know? | |
| And she's already trying to prime us for the loss and to claim that the loss was because of voter fraud. | |
| Which is interesting because they always claim Trump, you know, talks about border fraud and how unconstitutional that is and how horrible that is. | |
| But now they're using that same tactic. | |
| Interesting, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I want to point out does anyone else notice that she has the same weird mannerisms as her nephew, Gavin Newsom, like with the hands that don't make sense with what she's saying? | |
| Anyway, his hands are not related. | |
| Kyle, what's your take? | |
| So, I would like to sit down with Nancy Pelosi and get a few Apple teenies in her and convince her that we have to pass the Save America Act to stop Trump from cheating in this upcoming election. | |
| And I think we need more election integrity. | |
| I'm not sure if she'd buy that. | |
| Maybe a few deep, you know, I could persuade her to jump on board. | |
| But I'm old enough to remember when being an election denier got you thrown off of social media. | |
| I think there were maybe millions of people who had questions about the 2020 election, and a lot of them were silenced. | |
| And censored, but I've never seen a Democrat ever punished for being an election denier, whether it's Stacey Abrams or Hillary Clinton or Pelosi in this case. | |
| Right. | |
| So their playbook only goes one way. | |
| And if Democrats don't cheat, it's odd that Jazzy, little Jazzy Crockett, was insinuating that her Democrat opponent cheated. | |
| So, are you admitting Democrats cheat, Jazz? | |
| Like, I don't. | |
| You're not trying. | |
| That's the way the Democrats look at it. | |
| And Gavin Newsom freaking out about voter IDs yesterday was precious. | |
| I mean, he got ratioed big time because everybody has gotten to the point where if you can't support the most basic of election safeguards, and that's just voter IDs of some kind, or like a real ID that you can use as a voter ID, that's kind of the tell, as they call it. | |
| You know, I don't know if you played poker, but you know, you got tells. | |
| That's the tell. | |
| The tell is that they are very uncomfortable with election safeguards like you see in 176 nations on earth. | |
| I mean, they call it Jim Crow 2.0, but African nations have stricter election safeguards than we do. | |
| So it's not about race. | |
| And they use the talking point about women. | |
| Women are suddenly incapable of doing basic paperwork. | |
| Well, in most of the countries on earth, women have to have voter IDs. | |
| So I don't understand why American women are so much dumber than we are. | |
| We're inferior. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I know. | |
| I still don't know how to tie my shoes. | |
| It's crazy. | |
| It's a miracle I get through a day, honestly. | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So it's just, you know, it's just more of the same. | |
| And I wish, like, I don't know what I wish. | |
| I wish that we could just stop talking about the next election just for one day, ever, any year, any time. | |
| It's like constantly like the next thing, the next thing. | |
| And, you know, now it's like these election cycles never stop. | |
| And we're so freaking fatigued. | |
| And that's why, you know, this has become like a team sport. | |
| It's like always in our face. | |
| I'm over it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| In my perfect world, we would disband Washington, D.C., because it's not needed anymore. | |
| We don't need a central location for all of these politicians to meet in secret. | |
| I mean, you know, there's always a what is it? | |
| Adam Smith talked about anytime you have elites meeting in secret, it leads to a conspiracy against the public. | |
| And so that would be one. | |
| And the other is we would do a lot more like referendum, just. | |
| Ask us, we will do it online. | |
| We will say yes or no. | |
| Yes, I want a button at my house, and I am whoever wants to participate. | |
| Like, give us a button, like on American Idol or one of those shows, where it's like, okay, you know, go to your computer and here's the issues open today that we're voting on. | |
| And whenever you want, you go to your computer, you click yes, no, yeah, no, no, no. | |
| Yeah, you can represent yourself now. | |
| You don't need to designate all of these representatives to go speak for you because a lot of times it's They aren't speaking for you. | |
| They're not speaking for anybody except for themselves and their lobbyists. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, why can't we vote ourselves? | |
| It's not, you know, the 1800s. | |
| We can do it online. | |
| And I'm sure there's a way to do it. | |
| Right, Marcella? | |
| We can do this. | |
| There's a thing called the Constitution, but and we would have had to get an amendment. | |
| We'll get a convention together. | |
| Yeah. | |
| We would need a convention. | |
| Put the band back together. | |
| We'll figure it out. | |
| I mean, it's doable. | |
| Yes. | |
| So, I'm sure it will change eventually. | |
| So, I hope we're here to see it. | |
| What I was going to say is that one of the interesting things that I don't know why, whatever Kyle was saying reminded me of this. | |
| You're talking about Washington, D.C., and not needed. | |
| TMC is actually going to start reporting on scandals in Washington, D.C. | |
| So, you know, they were focused just on Hollywood and stars or whatever it is. | |
| But now they're actually going to go and report on scandals, kind of like the one that you talked about earlier about her gnome's husband and things like that. | |
| So we're going to see. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Hollywood's dead. | |
| Nobody cares about celebrities anymore. | |
| We don't care. | |
| I don't care. | |
| Nobody cares. | |
| I don't even know who they are. | |
| I don't care. | |
| Oh, look who's coming. | |
| We got Owen coming in. | |
| And the other thing is. | |
| If it's an equal opportunity scandal reporting and not just Trump because they love to bash Trump, I'm all for it. | |
| No, no, they said that they would, they're going to do everybody equally. | |
| Are you and Kyle at the same library? | |
| It's true. | |
| I don't think that they're repping my book at that library. | |
| That's true. | |
| That's true. | |
| Welcome, Owen. | |
| Hello. | |
| Hello. | |
| No, we're so happy you could jump in with us here. | |
| So, all right. | |
| So, let's, since Owen's here, Marcella, actually, I did want to come to you for like the next news story. | |
|
Nuclear Regime War Concerns
00:14:41
|
|
| I want you to just choose one that you had for us because you had a list of good ones. | |
| And let's dive into something else. | |
| So, in regards to Iran, before coming on, I was going to say Donald, like I know him. | |
| President Trump, you know, Donald, came out and said that Iran's new regime president is much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors. | |
| He doesn't tell us who he is. | |
| He has just asked the United States of America for a ceasefire. | |
| We'll consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. | |
| Until then, he said, we're blasting Iran into oblivion, or as they say, back to the Stone Age ages. | |
| So it seems. | |
| The Strait of Hormuz is the big, you know, trading the ball that they're throwing around. | |
| But I know that Kyle wanted to talk about this and you wanted to talk about this too that Trump had come out and said that he needed two or three more weeks. | |
| Yeah, I have a clip I can play about that. | |
| All right, let's go to the clip. | |
| I'm so clippy today. | |
| Okay, here we go. | |
| I would say that within two weeks, maybe, two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting them very hard. | |
| Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities, as you probably read or wrote. | |
| We knocked out, excuse me? | |
| Pardon me for interrupting. | |
| The U.S. will be gone or done with the war in two or three weeks. | |
| I think we're two or three weeks. | |
| We'll leave. | |
| There's no reason for us to do this. | |
| Look, the problem with the Strait a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water, and say, oh, it's unsafe. | |
| It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country. | |
| They can drop it. | |
| Or you can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a few bullets at a ship. | |
| Or maybe an over the shoulder missile, small missiles. | |
| That's not for us. | |
| That'll be for France. | |
| That'll be for whoever's using the strain. | |
| But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up. | |
| Today I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through. | |
| We're negotiating with them right now. | |
| They've been, again, we have had regime change. | |
| Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal. | |
| I had one goal. | |
| They will have no nuclear weapon. | |
| And that goal has been attained. | |
| They will not have nuclear weapons. | |
| But we're finishing the job. | |
| And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job. | |
| But we want to knock out every single thing they have. | |
| Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges. | |
| And we've hit some. | |
| We'll hit some bridges. | |
| We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. | |
| But if they come to the table, that'll be good. | |
| But it doesn't matter whether they come or not. | |
| We've set them back. | |
| It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them. | |
| They have no navy, they have no military, they have no air force, they have no telecommunications, they have no anti aircraft systems, they have no leaders. | |
| You know, their leaders are all gone. | |
| That's why we have regime change, we have nice new leadership. | |
| All right. | |
| Nice new leaders. | |
| So, Marcella or Owen, whoever wants to touch on that first. | |
| I mean, that was quite the rundown he gave there about what he's taken out. | |
| And I hope things are going well. | |
| And I hope that we could, you know, leave and that France and Europe will pick up where we left off handling with those little missiles off your shoulders. | |
| So, I'll come to you first, Owen. | |
| So, what do you think about what he was saying there? | |
| So, the motivation behind what he's saying, I think, is to reassure the stock market, to reassure people about the economy, to keep oil prices from spiking too high. | |
| Because if he said anything else, like, oh, we're going to be there until September, you know, everybody would panic and the stock market would drop and the oil prices would shoot through the roof and, you know, everybody would be screaming about it. | |
| So, I think a lot of his statements about this is saying there is an end date. | |
| It's not far away, but we're not there yet. | |
| And, you know, saying we're two or three weeks away might be a little bit like what Scott used to say about how, Future technologies. | |
| Oh, it's always 10 years out. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But I do think it's likely that it probably would end in that timeframe because I think it, you know, the same motivation he has, it's not just a temporary thing. | |
| Like he is trying to talk the market up and talk oil down. | |
| But I think he knows that if he stayed in Iran and kept bombing and did ground invasions and had a big, you know, if it turned into like another Iraq or Afghanistan, that that would ruin our economy. | |
| It would ruin the oil prices. | |
| It would ruin everything and midterms and everything else. | |
| So I think, um, To me, I think it is sincere. | |
| I think he is probably planning to wrap it up in the next couple of weeks. | |
| And, you know, I don't know what will be left at that point. | |
| I mean, I do believe that we've knocked out most of their capabilities for nuclear and that we've knocked out most of their missile capabilities. | |
| So it's getting the uranium now, right? | |
| So that's what that's the goal. | |
| But then, so if he says then we leave, do the ground troops leave? | |
| Like, does everybody leave? | |
| Yeah, I mean, well, I mean, that's what he said. | |
| I'm not sure if that's true. | |
| You know, it may be that they just sort of sit there and watch for a while to make sure that nothing big happens. | |
| And I do have questions about that whole uranium operation because, you know, what we heard after that first strike, Midnight Hammer, was okay, they're never going to be able to get down to that stuff. | |
| It's buried, it's, you know, inaccessible. | |
| But if they're saying we can go in and go grab it like in a matter of weeks or some short period of time, then you would think Iran would have that same capability. | |
| And so it certainly is a big question in my mind to say if it's really that easy to go dig all of it out, then I would be worried that Iran still has that capability. | |
| And as soon as we leave, they might just get out their excavators and go dig it up. | |
| Yeah, that's what I kind of was thinking too. | |
| But I imagine the what do we call this? | |
| The bomb that would have to go like straight down like that. | |
| That would be, I can't even imagine it. | |
| But Marcel, I want to have you jump in here. | |
| Thank you for letting me jump in for a minute. | |
| Hmm, where have I heard two weeks and then ever will be over? | |
| To slow the spread? | |
| To slow the spread. | |
| Yeah, to me, I mean, I'm a Trump lover, as everybody knows, but to me, it sounds very, you can never escape the Middle East. | |
| That's like, it's like a black hole that sucks you in. | |
| So I'm hopeful that it'll be two to three more weeks, but I am, like Owen said, he might be doing this for the market, but I don't know. | |
| What does Kyle think? | |
| All right. | |
| So let me preface this. | |
| You know, I'm not trying to like, I'm like an international relations guy by training. | |
| I was like in a doctoral school for international relations, comparative politics. | |
| Middle East was not my forte, but just I'm a lot more dispassionate about all of this than I think a lot of people are. | |
| And I totally let people just, you know, disagree. | |
| Like, please be, you know, if you want to be a doomer about this or whatever, I'm totally fine. | |
| I totally get it because I have buddies who went to war. | |
| I mean, my son went to war in Afghanistan. | |
| I have buddies who went to war in Iraq. | |
| They are very negative about all of this. | |
| And I am, um, Against foreign interventionism in the main. | |
| I just do not see the dynamics of this Iranian war being similar to Iraq or Afghanistan that much. | |
| I think it's much different because they have a diaspora. | |
| Like, in other words, millions of Iranians live abroad that are against the regime. | |
| You didn't have that with Iraq or Afghanistan. | |
| A lot of Iranian intellectuals, there's like shadow government. | |
| I saw thousands of them at CPAC here near Grapevine, like out in force. | |
| And before the revolution in 1979, they had a, you know, not perfect, but they had pro Western Shah. | |
| Much different society, and a lot of people still remember that. | |
| Like they remember that. | |
| You had none of that on Iraq or Afghanistan. | |
| They never had anything like that. | |
| So, when if Trump goes in, you know, scorched earth, decapitates the regime to a large extent, destroys their military capacity, wipes out their nuclear enrichment operations, and we can return the Strait of Hormuz, you know, this is very tricky diplomatically, and I give Marco Rubio a lot of credit. | |
| If we can get that running again, it's a net win for the world. | |
| I'm also an idealist, so let me preface that. | |
| I just think they're a very evil regime. | |
| And I particularly think that their export of terrorism has killed Americans. | |
| There are feuds with Iran, predates any of this talk about Israel and AIPAC. | |
| So, like, there's a disconnect for me with a lot of people who try to bring up the Israel lobby aspect of this. | |
| I appreciate it, I recognize it, I know it's there. | |
| But it doesn't, like, For me, it doesn't discredit the operation to benefit allies in the region. | |
| And it's not just Israel. | |
| There's also Qatar and UAE to some extent, Bahrain, et cetera. | |
| So I think the Middle East will be much better in the future moving forward. | |
| It'll be a safer place for Americans ultimately if this all plays out. | |
| But you have to hand the ball off to the Iranians. | |
| And that could happen in two to three weeks. | |
| It could get very messy there. | |
| Issue there, and I think a lot of the right. | |
| A lot of people are rightfully nervous about that is if we intervene again with boots on the ground, like after it gets messy. | |
| So, what do you think about all the statements from those Middle Eastern countries? | |
| I mean, some of them I think are still rumors, but like Saudi Arabia and UAE, I think there was a story recently that UAE actually entered the war in some way and that they were somehow lobbying Trump to keep going. | |
| Yeah, that's true. | |
| And I mean, the Iranians didn't really do themselves any favor by lobbying missiles into the region and they fired off what looked like an ICBM type missile. | |
| A couple of weeks ago. | |
| This has to alarm a lot of countries like Saudi Arabia that you mentioned, UAE. | |
| So they're all on board. | |
| They just want to see a successful resolution to all of this. | |
| I don't think Trump is willing to do it by himself. | |
| I just don't see that in his political DNA. | |
| There's nothing suggestive to me that Trump wants to go there and nation build or control the regime. | |
| He said in that clip that he wanted to destroy the nuclear enrichment operations, to get rid of the nuclear weapons possibility. | |
| I don't think he's bluffing. | |
| I think that is the ultimate objective. | |
| And it's not to babysit a country in the Middle East at the expense of his domestic agenda. | |
| It would be immensely unpopular. | |
| It would cost the Republicans the midterms for sure. | |
| And it would be a blot on his legacy. | |
| Trump really cares about his brand, he cares about how he's perceived. | |
| And I think this is a real. | |
| Pressure point, in addition to the fact he's criticized the Iraq war in the past and got a lot of support for that. | |
| So I think he cares about his legacy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| If Trump does pull out in two or three weeks and then Israel decides, you know, we're not done, because they've said that they might continue. | |
| I know it's gone back and forth a little bit in those statements because I think they made a statement that it's more than halfway over or something. | |
| But Netanyahu, you know, reportedly, at least allegedly, has a lot of reasons to keep war going. | |
| But now that the other Middle Eastern regions, countries are saying, you know, we're ready to join and support this, do you think you could have an alliance between Israel and the Middle East to go after Iran after Trump is gone, after the Americans pull out? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, in international relations, you see that all the time that countries that otherwise have nothing in common, they have a joint mission in a war or a military conflict and they band together. | |
| But ultimately, it gets into a situation where there's bandwagoning and free riding. | |
| And like we say, the thing with France, where they're trying to free ride. | |
| We've been dealing with this problem of free riders for a long time in the United States because we're the strongest. | |
| And so all of these countries, this try to, well, let the Americans pay the sacrifice. | |
| I think that Trump is pivoting to where he's trying to get these other countries in the region to realize it's in your country's best interest in terms of long term security that you. | |
| Enter this war. | |
| And like I said, the Iranians lobbing missiles at their neighbors. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Maybe one of the worst things they could have done. | |
| Because at that point, it's not just the United States and Israel versus Iran. | |
| Iran is threatening the entire region. | |
| And they're kind of proving the point about why they should never have nuclear weapons. | |
| Look how reckless that is. | |
| You know, there's always been kind of the perceptive about Iran. | |
| It's like maybe they're a litmus test of the madman theory. | |
| That's where you don't have mutually assured destruction, doesn't apply to these ideological fanatics who are apocalyptic. | |
| And, you know, they would rather nuke their neighbors than lose power. | |
| And so that is kind of, if you see the uprising and the way that they cracked down on it earlier this year, they killed 30, 35,000 people. | |
| It's kind of suggested that they're very desperate to hang on to this old regime. | |
| I'm talking about an Islamic based regime. | |
| They're very desperate to hold on to this. | |
| And that combination with a nuclear weapon, you know, of any kind, even a dirty bomb, I think. | |
| That people get a little bit too imaginative about this and thinking about, like, you know, three or four stage ICBM. | |
| No, we're not. | |
| I'm not even talking about that. | |
| But even just like dirty bombs, it's very dangerous. | |
| And Trump doesn't want to be responsible for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, winding up being killed because the Iranians don't want to lose power. | |
| So, Kyle, we only have, you know, a few minutes left. | |
| And I think a lot of people are also concerned about what's happening here on our soil. | |
| With sleeper cells and things like that. | |
|
Islamic Regime Nuclear Desperation
00:04:11
|
|
| Like, what's your take on that as an effect? | |
| Well, we saw here in Texas, you know, a guy who was loyal to the Iranian regime went into a nightclub, killed over a dozen, or I shot over a dozen people and killed a couple of them. | |
| I think one of them went to ICU. | |
| I think it was three people ultimately. | |
| But the idea of them using sleeper cell agents is something to be concerned about. | |
| But I think that there's, I really think objectively they're on the ropes over there. | |
| And we've only had a few of those incidents in the United States. | |
| I think that's probably less than maybe some analysts might have expected, might have seen more of it so far. | |
| I think if it would have been a big problem, it would have manifested itself before now. | |
| They would have activated them. | |
| You think? | |
| You don't think they're still sleeping? | |
| There could be a few of them out there for sure. | |
| The pressure, the leverage that they might have gotten from that is dissipating fat. | |
| They're getting diminishing returns very quickly at this point. | |
| So I think it, I mean, I'm not an expert at these types of operations, but I think the leverage point would have been before now, like they would have, because it's a series of terrorism is like a series of escalating events. | |
| Like this event that happened in Texas and would have been compounded like maybe every weekend. | |
| It would have happened like. | |
| You know, I don't want to get into details here. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I don't want to give ideas or details. | |
| Yes, I know, I agree. | |
| Sometimes I wish the news would just zip it because if I'm thinking, oh, this would trigger an idea, then the very mentally unstable people are like, hey. | |
| So, with just a few minutes left, Kyle, I want to, you know, give you your due here. | |
| And can you tell us about the book you wrote also? | |
| I didn't know that you wrote a book until I saw it on your page. | |
| Right. | |
| So essentially, you see a lot of debate right now about the revisionism of Tolkien. | |
| You see about what they're doing with Harry Potter. | |
| And, you know, a lot of people just want their fantasy to be a fantasy story and they don't want a lot of the woke politics in it, just to use, you know, catchphrases about it. | |
| But essentially, you know, I wrote this book in more of a classic style, kind of a Tolkien meets C.S. Lewis. | |
| And I'm not saying like, you know, I'm just saying the spirit of it, right? | |
| And I think that ultimately, you know, as somebody who's worked in the news for a long time, it was very frustrating to see the negativity. | |
| And I think people are being demoralized. | |
| And so this book is essentially, it was inspired during COVID. | |
| It took me four or five years to get this published. | |
| But it's about the effect of nihilism on society. | |
| And there's a very existential sort of crisis in the world where history is undone, you know, and they have to. | |
| Band together to face this existential force that's going to undo the world. | |
| And so there's a series of books. | |
| There's four of them that are planned out. | |
| I'm on my second book. | |
| So the first in the series just sets the table, introduces the characters, the stakes, the forces behind it, the world that they're in. | |
| The second book is a lot more character driven forward and really just takes off. | |
| But the first one is a very strong introduction. | |
| To this world of hypernia. | |
| And there's a lot of different political kingdoms. | |
| So, for political junkies, there's a lot of political philosophy. | |
| There's a monarchy, there's a republic, there's anarchy, there's a kleptocracy, who are not the pirates, obviously. | |
| And so, why do all of these kingdoms crumble and decay? | |
| And what does that feel like for characters who are in those societies? | |
|
Hypernia Political Kingdoms World
00:07:47
|
|
| And ultimately, there's a resolution to this by the end of the series that explains what is to be done. | |
| You know, it's the famous political question. | |
| But it isn't answered for the reader. | |
| It is sort of revealed to them and they can take away whatever they want. | |
| So it's not preachy at all. | |
| It's just. | |
| And this is an adult book, not. | |
| It is. | |
| And I think that, you know, anybody who liked the Chronicles of Narnia, for example, and sort of the outlook on that, the method of writing, but I modernize it. | |
| I use a more modern pacing. | |
| Nice. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I like that. | |
| I don't like things like period. | |
| You know, like very quick chapters. | |
| Love, love. | |
| I love that. | |
| Did you have fun today with us, Kyle? | |
| This is amazing. | |
| You guys are cool. | |
| You guys are cool peeps. | |
| You're cool too. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You're cool too. | |
| And you joined us on your birthday. | |
| I mean, how special for us. | |
| I hope you all enjoyed Kyle. | |
| We did. | |
| He will definitely be back again. | |
| Owen, you're amazing for running through the door like Kramer to join us on the show. | |
| Marcella, you know I love you so much. | |
| Everybody listening, thank you. | |
| Please hit the subscribe button. | |
| Please hit the like, the notification bell, the hearts, all of those good things. | |
| It really, really helps keep us going. | |
| You're all very special. | |
| And we will be back tomorrow. | |
| I'm not sure if it's just the home team tomorrow or we may have a guest. | |
| Either way, we will be here as always. | |
| Let's have a closing sip, you guys. | |
| And remember to be useful, be all the things we were ever taught. | |
| And let's have a closing sip to Scott and to Shelly. | |
| And we will see you guys in the morning. | |
| Love you guys. | |
| Go out there. | |
| Be useful to Scott and Shelly. | |
| Guys, love you. | |
| I'll wait till I see your goodbyes before I end the stream. | |
| Bye. | |
| See you guys. | |
| Happy birthday, Kyle. | |
| Thank you guys. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| Take care. | |
| Bye. | |
| Bye. | |
| Marcella lift off of Artemis today. | |
| Oh, yes. | |
| I meant to wear my space suit. | |
| Damn. | |
| Marcella, should we go to locals? | |
| Yeah, we can. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Do you know how to do that? | |
| I don't know. | |
| So, Maybe it's been announced that, yeah. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Maybe we can get to locals. | |
| Are you ready? | |
| Goodbye, YouTube. | |
| As Andy would say, YouTube losers, he writes. | |
| And X, oh, okay. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Rumble still on, but how do I do that? | |
| Rumble, I can't do Rumble, I don't think. | |
| You guys, are we on locals? | |
| And on Rumble, I think still, right here. | |
| All right. | |
| So, Rumble, if you can hear us. | |
| Hey, Rumble, you guys, look at it. | |
| Look at it. | |
| And how does Stella know the show's over? | |
| She's immediately starting to meow. | |
| No, she knows the show's just starting with the. | |
| Yeah, really. | |
| Oh, wow. | |
| The Stella show. | |
| You guys, how'd you like Kyle? | |
| Wasn't he great? | |
| There's so much, so many layers to him. | |
| He's got a lot of. | |
| Credentials and good stuff going. | |
| So I think he'll, you know, he'll come into our rotation. | |
| How'd you like him, Marcella? | |
| I really love him. | |
| I've always followed him for a long time. | |
| I know that Scott, early, early Scott, you know, was always with like following Kyle. | |
| And that's how I found out about Kyle. | |
| But, you know, knowing all the intricate things like that, his expertise are way more than I knew. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Pretty cool. | |
| Someone told us we are still on Rumble. | |
| Okay. | |
| Hi, Rumble. | |
| We're not doing anything naughty yet. | |
| Yet, not yet. | |
| We're not giving away any secrets, no secret recipes. | |
| We're just chitty chatting for an extra few. | |
| And I love how Owen and Kyle coordinated their outfits and their backdrops. | |
| They were like the same height, the same color shirt, black teeth. | |
| Is this like a dude thing? | |
| It was funny. | |
| We need to coordinate like that too. | |
| Hey, Rumble people, are you subscribers on locals? | |
| You should convert and come over to locals because we do shows on locals too. | |
| Did everyone hit the little heart and the likes for us? | |
| And how are we doing? | |
| I feel like we need a little, like, you know, what do we call that? | |
| Performance review. | |
| Oh, how they liked it. | |
| Yeah, look, I feel like personally, I feel like the show is getting better every single day. | |
| And I feel like everybody's like getting a rhythm, and it takes a while, obviously. | |
| But I feel like we're getting there. | |
| 201 on locals. | |
| You guys are so sweet. | |
| Stella wants to talk. | |
| If she comes up here, she can. | |
| DJ, you're watching on locals too. | |
| Nice. | |
| Performance enhancing drugs. | |
| You know, I'm reading, you know, locals, I'm reading this from the actual Rumble studio. | |
| So I don't know if it's replies to things or you're telling us that we're using enhancing drugs, but that's for Sean. | |
| I'm not sure. | |
| I wish it would say replying to. | |
| I know. | |
| Now we know, like, because remember when Scott would like read one of our comments and he would be like, why are you saying that? | |
| And I'm like, no, it's a reply to someone else, but he couldn't see that it's attached to another comment. | |
| So we just see lines of your comments, but we don't know what is in response to it. | |
| He got mad at me one day. | |
| I remember very mad. | |
| And I was like, What did I do? | |
| I was responding to somebody that asked about the audio. | |
| It was probably Mike. | |
| No. | |
| You know how he hated the audio questions? | |
| Like, Don't mention the audio. | |
| Okay, I'm leaving. | |
| He got so mad at me. | |
| And I was like, Okay, you know what? | |
| I'm not talking to you anymore. | |
| And I left. | |
| And two hours later, he did call me to apologize. | |
| So. | |
| There you go. | |
| Because I was like, I'm going to leave Amy. | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| It was like I used to get nervous. | |
| Like people would come in, like we'd already go over the fact that something was glitching and we'd settle everybody down. | |
| And then someone would come in and be like, you know, it's glitching. | |
| And you're like, no, don't say it. | |
| All I said, somebody was asking, what did I say? | |
| All I was responding to is someone talking about the audio and I was telling them, don't talk about the audio. | |
| And then he was like, oh, I hate you. | |
| And at that time, you guys didn't know, but I was telling him. | |
| Helping him every morning. | |
| So I was like, You're yelling at the person that helps you every morning at 4 or 4 30 in the morning. | |
| I'm like, No way, I'm not talking to you. | |
| And so the people you love the most take the slings and arrows. | |
| So he was always mindful and he did apologize. | |
| And it might have been a husband apology, but still, you know, I really did. | |
| He didn't mean it. | |
| He had a lot of stuff going on at once. | |
| And I know Eric had defended me. | |
| So I saw that and I was just like, so sweet of her. | |
| But all of us kind of got burned when everybody has a story of when Scott got angry at them about some comment. | |
|
Stella Demands Morning Yelling
00:04:59
|
|
| I know. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| But oh, yeah. | |
| Oh, like I don't want to talk too much behind the curtain, but yeah. | |
| One time, Scott and I had a, we'll just call it, we had a disagreement. | |
| And it was so like sad because we were both so like defensive about it. | |
| And I was like, Well, now you're, you know, like you're making me cry. | |
| Like, I think I'm going to cry. | |
| He's like, Well, so am I. | |
| And I'm like, Oh my God. | |
| I'm like, This is like our first big fight. | |
| It was awful. | |
| Like, we both ended up in tears, but we reached an understanding. | |
| Thank God. | |
| But, you know, again, it's like when you're close with people, these things happen. | |
| But I miss him every second of the day. | |
| Damn it. | |
| Can't stand it. | |
| You pissed him off with a bad comic. | |
| Oh, geez. | |
| Ooh, that's not good. | |
| Man Cave used to be interesting too. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| But I know. | |
| You know, the Artemis story is really helpful. | |
| They're going to lift off. | |
| And I know President Trump is going to speak at 9 p.m. Eastern, which is 6 p.m. for me. | |
| But I think the lift off for the Artemis starts, the window starts at 6 30 Eastern. | |
| So we'll see. | |
| You know, hopefully they don't. | |
| Collide both stories, but I'm really hopeful for them. | |
| But it is scary. | |
| There's four astronauts. | |
| One is a woman, of course, one is African American, one's Canadian. | |
| Oh, they did put a minority Canadian in? | |
| Maybe it's not well, the king. | |
| I'm kidding, it's just a little joke, just a joke. | |
| That's true, that's true. | |
| So, um, we're like, oh, I just like imagine being them and being their family, like, ooh, that's very brave. | |
| No, I am so claustrophobic. | |
| Like, I just took a deep breath when I thought about it. | |
| First of all, having that suit on and that bubble over my head, and then, like, hey, now we're gonna put you in this little tiny bullet. | |
| Packed in there with people and bye bye. | |
| I'd be like, I can't do it. | |
| I can't do it. | |
| I'm like the girl that gets on the ride and I'm like, I want to get off. | |
| And you really think you're going to be able to control the person operating the ride to be like, oh, this girl really means it. | |
| Like, let me get her off. | |
| Like, everybody's like, get me off. | |
| I'm that girl. | |
| So you couldn't put me on a cruise ship. | |
| Too much claustrophobia. | |
| But I can't even imagine. | |
| And like, okay, so I know there's obviously, like, I would be like, what if I put my whole suit on and my head bubble and then I'm like, Oh no, I have psychological diarrhea and I need the bathroom. | |
| Like, what happens? | |
| You're wearing, oh, okay. | |
| So they said that they're wearing diapers. | |
| Like, but now you got to sit in your diaper with diarrhea? | |
| But no gravity. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| I don't think I can. | |
| Okay. | |
| So I would wear makeup underneath and I'd look really pretty. | |
| That's all I'm saying. | |
| And I would like coffee in space. | |
| Oh, I wonder if it's good. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| I don't want to mention the story. | |
| Okay. | |
| I shouldn't mention it. | |
| But there was a story I posted about something about Zeman in space. | |
| But, anyways, oh, I saw that. | |
| Like, can you get pregnant? | |
| Yeah, could you get pregnant? | |
| I wonder if you could get more pregnant. | |
| I'm extra pregnant. | |
| Well, okay, just to disclose, they're not testing that in this orbit. | |
| They're just, you know, doing different things. | |
| Oh, yeah, wait. | |
| Is the food up there like the food that we used to get when you go on your class trip in eighth grade and you get the freeze dried ice cream? | |
| Like, is your coffee like, can you just chew your coffee? | |
| Crunchy. | |
| They posted a list of things that they could have in space, but I don't see it being, maybe it's nice. | |
| Lip gloss. | |
| All I need is lip gloss, you guys. | |
| I don't care where I go. | |
| I just need lip gloss. | |
| And that's like my. | |
| So, just to, I think some people got confused with me in regards to. | |
| So, 6 30 Eastern is when the liftoff could happen. | |
| But 9 p.m. Eastern is when Trump. | |
| Will speak the six pacific for Trump, but um, so there's like a three hour gap between the hopefully the liftoff to the oh, what are you showing? | |
| I have to keep this little container of food in my desk for Stella because sometimes she won't stop screaming. | |
| So, if you guys ever see me go like this, I'm usually getting this little container of food out and I'm like, Here, you psycho, Stella, here, come here. | |
|
Supreme Court Friday Liftoff
00:15:09
|
|
| Sean thought something else you were getting. | |
| Nope, he was like. | |
| What did he say? | |
| Performing enhancing drugs or something? | |
| Oh, because we're performing better. | |
| Yes, you guys, I am obsessed with my little pointer stick, too. | |
| This is Marcella and I, like, after hours. | |
| We're just like, hey. | |
| It's very dumb of you, but anyway. | |
| Right? | |
| I'm like, it's very long. | |
| Look how long it can be. | |
| Look at it. | |
| It's so, I just got this. | |
| I am 12 people. | |
| I am obsessed with this thing. | |
| Stella is so demanding, you guys. | |
| It's like the dementia, the old age, the cataracts, being deaf, the kidney failure, the weighing five pounds. | |
| You know, she can basically have whatever she wants. | |
| If she could just understand, hey, look here. | |
| We're talking to the nice people, Stella. | |
| So today, the birthright citizenship arguments were on, and maybe they're still ongoing in the Supreme Court. | |
| No, they should be over with by now in front of the Supreme Court. | |
| And guess who was going to watch it? | |
| Did you see that? | |
| Trump. | |
| Oh. | |
| He was going to be in the audience. | |
| That's like when he put Juanita Broderick in for the debate against Hillary. | |
| He's like, I'll just sit here and watch. | |
| Now, is that intimidation? | |
| That, well, he has a right as a citizen to go. | |
| All of us do. | |
| We have a right to attend. | |
| They do not video the Supreme Court arguments, but they do an audio of it. | |
| But we, as people, as citizens, we're allowed to go. | |
| So he's allowed, you know, obviously you can argue that the left is going to argue that he was intimidating them. | |
| I think he likes to stare them down and, you know, look at them and make them know that. | |
| Their decision is going to make an impact. | |
| So he's representing America. | |
| Yeah. | |
| In his viewpoint, he's representing because he tweeted, I think, tweeted, I shouldn't use the word tweeted, truth posted this whole thing about, well, citizenship, the citizenship clause that you are claiming as birthright citizenship was for slaves, not for Chinese immigrants that have 53 babies. | |
| Something like that. | |
| Oh my God, my camera is so hot. | |
| Wait, I'm trying to show you, Stella. | |
| What are you showing us? | |
| Oh no, I hit my button. | |
| Wait, shoot, now it's going to start zooming. | |
| I see real coffee with Scott Adams is blocking her. | |
| Yep. | |
| All right, there she is. | |
| I put her food on this cube. | |
| I can't, I can't. | |
| And now I screwed up my camera. | |
| Okay, wait. | |
| It's okay. | |
| We have vertigo now. | |
| Yes, everyone have vertigo. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Vertigo. | |
| I'm sweating. | |
| I'm so hot today. | |
| All right, Stella, that's enough. | |
| And we're done. | |
| Josie, can you? | |
| Josie says that the president has gone to Supreme Court arguments before. | |
| Do you know which ones, Josie? | |
| Sean, I like your breakfast better than Scott's, although Scott's does look good every day. | |
| I like a muffin or a cupcake. | |
| Mini muffins. | |
| We have the best new bakery near me. | |
| Mmm, mmm, mmm. | |
| Are they open? | |
| They must open really early. | |
| Oh, thank you, Bob. | |
| Bob's giving us bowel timing for being in space. | |
| Yep. | |
| I mean, anything goes here. | |
| What is it somewhere? | |
| The Chinese billionaire had fathered 100 American children. | |
| Now, does Scott Ritchie have a steak every morning? | |
| Look, Marcel and I will have two totally different conversations with you guys. | |
| Do you think he's. | |
| Is Scott Ritchie here? | |
| Where is Scott Ritchie? | |
| He's probably gone. | |
| He's probably cooking a steak. | |
| I'm wondering if he just has like a folder full of steaks and he just like cycles through them or is he actually making that steak every day? | |
| I need to know. | |
| Oh, Andy is right. | |
| We're talking, you're talking food. | |
| That's a no no for you. | |
| It's okay here, though. | |
| I'm all for it. | |
| Andy, we're not talking food that we eat. | |
| We're just criticizing you guys in your food. | |
| Because the rule for Scott is not mentioning the food he eats. | |
| Right. | |
| That's why he stopped telling us where he was getting his DoorDash or whatever he got. | |
| Was it DoorDash or Uber Eats? | |
| DoorDash. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Because as soon as he'd say whatever, everybody would be like, You shouldn't eat that. | |
| That has probiotics in it. | |
| This has fungus in it. | |
| This will make you, you know, and he'd be like, That's it. | |
| I can't take it. | |
| Let's see. | |
| It was so cute. | |
| One day he texted me. | |
| He said, Marcella, the DoorDasher is named Marcella. | |
| You're bringing it to me. | |
| Andy says he eats Soylent Green after swimming. | |
| Oh, no. | |
| Oh, yeah, because swimming is the best sport. | |
| It's the best exercise. | |
| Best exercise. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| All the little things. | |
| So funny. | |
| No caps. | |
| And don't tell me I'm wrong without saying why. | |
| Which I agree with. | |
| I have to say, it is pretty wacky to look over and see someone just go wrong. | |
| And you're like, wrong, what? | |
| What's wrong? | |
| What are the things that were NPC, like mentioning the Matrix? | |
| Oh, yeah, like calling Rob Reiner Meathead. | |
| French press is the best coffee. | |
| Don't say like the obvious thing. | |
| Like anytime Rob Reiner would come on, You knew someone was going to call a meathead in the chat, and you're like, no, don't do it. | |
| Don't do it. | |
| I didn't do that one, but I did another one. | |
| You did? | |
| Oh, something about something. | |
| I forget which one I did, but I was just like, oh. | |
| Oh, the CO2 is plant food. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Garfield. | |
| The audio, for sure. | |
| Sorry, we're, you know, so that's the thing now where we're discovering, you know, how like, I was like, Scott, read this faster because we in the chat, it's going by faster, but we see it. | |
| There's a delay of what we say to what they're saying. | |
| Yeah, watch Marcel. | |
| I'll show you. | |
| I do this if I go on locals sometimes. | |
| So when you guys hear me say the number eight, write it down eight, write the number eight. | |
| So you'll see the delay. | |
| She's hypnotizing you. | |
| This comic is gone. | |
| There we go. | |
| See how long that took? | |
| Yeah, that's long. | |
| Very good, Andy. | |
| Your hands are tied now. | |
| Andy, I also want to say, look at all the eights. | |
| I also want to say thank you for holding strong on the line about Alec Baldwin. | |
| It makes my heart happy every time I see it. | |
| Andy, I think you just make me happy in general. | |
| I'm always appreciating your comments. | |
| Andy's dangerous because he makes me laugh when I'm not supposed to be laughing. | |
| I know. | |
| Sometimes I ignore him. | |
| And sometimes the guest looks kind of like, why is she laughing? | |
| I know one day back in the beginning, because Marcella was like always watching you guys, and I forget what I said to her. | |
| I'm like, Marcella, we're talking about like someone died and burned alive, and their insides came out. | |
| And I look over at you, and you're like, like right now, it's like, just keep one ear on what's actually being said. | |
| I was like, or like Stefan Mullin, you'll be on here, and he's like, oh, da And we're all like, yeah. | |
| Then Marcella's like, type it away. | |
| I'm like, Marcella, come back. | |
| And I can't look at it anymore. | |
| I can't do it. | |
| That's why I don't go on the chat anymore because I can't. | |
| I'm always laughing, you guys. | |
| This is my whole day is just laughter. | |
| Even when things go bad for me, I still laugh. | |
| I can't. | |
| I just. | |
| Yeah, take a sip, you guys. | |
| Here, let's have a sip. | |
| Ready? | |
| Let's go. | |
| Take a sip of the cold coffee I have. | |
| I know. | |
| Mine too. | |
| When my coffee gets cold, it makes me want coffee ice cream. | |
| I'm like, if it was really cold and frozen. | |
| Yeah, the Chinese children Leslie was talking about, they're going to grow up in China because I, well, I don't know. | |
| I don't know yet, but I think the guy went to jail or is going to be tried. | |
| I need to look into that story, that billionaire story. | |
| Can I take off my shirt? | |
| I have another one. | |
| Sure. | |
| I'm just boiling. | |
| We'll get more ratings. | |
| Oh, you guys. | |
| No, you really won't. | |
| It's like the perimenopause. | |
| The only song that anyone needed to know. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay, it's a little better. | |
| I'm melting. | |
| Oh, you look so nice. | |
| Like, I got to make sure it looks like I have a shirt. | |
| What kind of shirt do you have? | |
| Do you have a shirt? | |
| It's a free people tank top. | |
| Oh, everyone must know. | |
| I have a lot of. | |
| Free people clothing is because I sell it also. | |
| So typically, if you're like, What shirt is Erica wearing that I can't see because she has her microphone and this nameplate? | |
| It's probably for you. | |
| DJ just died. | |
| Let's. | |
| Oh, Erica. | |
| Oh, you guys are so funny. | |
| Yeah. | |
| We always look over and love you guys, honestly. | |

Sudden Death Auction Swiping
00:06:06
|
|
| I'm not going to lie in a long time, but where do you sell it? | |
| I sell it on online shopping platforms like Poshmark, and there's a couple other ones. | |
| But it's almost like QVC. | |
| Like you go live, and I have like a store that's listed with my inventory, and you can talk to the chat, and people can, like, I can run them as an auction, and then people swipe at the price they want to pay for it. | |
| How do we find it? | |
| You don't. | |
| I'm just never going to share it. | |
| Oh, that's great. | |
| I cannot be on there. | |
| You guys, she hasn't shared that with me. | |
| I have not. | |
| And I'm like, I want to buy some of that stuff. | |
| I mean, I can give you the closet link. | |
| I will never give you guys the live show link. | |
| I cannot be on there. | |
| And then, like, Bob Lawler comes in and Andy's in there, like, hey, Alec Baldwin. | |
| But yeah. | |
| Is it mainly women's clothing or is it men's? | |
| I have some men's stuff, but you guys, I have to sell out of everything. | |
| I just don't have time for it anymore. | |
| So, um, I do need to devote some time, like in the next month or two, to just like phase out of it. | |
| But I sell women's contemporary, women's luxury. | |
| Like I have a lot of, most of my luxury is pre loved, you shall know, like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, things like that. | |
| Tons of like amazing shoes and I've got gorgeous jewelry, mostly fashion jewelry, or I have like Gucci jewelry, Louis jewelry, things like that. | |
| Most of my luxury is pre loved. | |
| I do have some fragrances and beauty and makeup. | |
| I've got tons of free people, anthropology, all sorts of nonsense, some streetwear. | |
| Isn't this very exciting? | |
| So I have to sell it out. | |
| I've got to get through it. | |
| What voice do you use? | |
| Because I do go on TikTok and they have a lot of sales for clothing or jewelry. | |
| And I noticed that the ladies that do that, Mostly, I've seen ladies do it. | |
| They have like this intense voice, like, and I'm like, yes, I'll buy whatever you tell me. | |
| I'm like, yes, yes, yes. | |
| You know what I mean? | |
| It gets you going. | |
| I have some friends that, so I have like a network of friends over there, but I have some friends that come on who do what they call like a random pull. | |
| Like they don't have anything listed, they're just like pulling from a palette. | |
| And it's like, I'm just gonna show you this thing. | |
| I'm gonna tell you the size. | |
| I'm gonna start the auction. | |
| The auction's gonna go for like 10 seconds. | |
| Whoever the last person to swipe on it is, like, gets the item. | |
| So, like, they're like really intense. | |
| They'll be like, okay, they'll like pick up the item, like, size medium, go, size medium, free people, go, And then you're like, okay, sold. | |
| Okay, large, ladies, size large. | |
| And you're like, holy shit. | |
| And I'm more like me. | |
| I'm like, hey, what's going on? | |
| You know, I'm just finding order. | |
| Like, so I have like a rack set up behind me, and I might like run in order of the way I listed it in my show. | |
| I like to chat with people and like be calm and make relationships, so it's like it's nice, you know? | |
| Okay, so it's not like because I'll be in those TikToks and it would be like there's like stickers coming up, there's all these things, yeah, it's just so much. | |
| Like, one time I posted sellers, they're insane, like the guys that sell like the Jordans and all of that. | |
| Oh, they're like. | |
| They're intense. | |
| It's so much fun to watch them, but they're like huge accounts. | |
| Huge, huge, huge. | |
| And they're just like, guys, Jordan, dead stock. | |
| Ben's 11. | |
| You better swipe like your life depends on it. | |
| Oh. | |
| And it'll be like, yes. | |
| And in five seconds, the auction's over and it's like $280 sold. | |
| I'm like, what the hell just happened? | |
| And they'll be like, I'm like, yes. | |
| This is rare, rare. | |
| I wear those shoes, even though I can't wear men's shoes. | |
| I know. | |
| I'm like, I think I need a size 11 men's Jordans for some reason. | |
| You're like, what am I doing? | |
| But people get sucked in bad and then they have like a shopping addiction. | |
| Then they're stuck with all this stuff. | |
| You got to be very careful on those sites. | |
| It is a lot like gambling. | |
| A lot. | |
| It is gambling. | |
| At least you get something for it in exchange. | |
| But it, you know, I'm such a nerd. | |
| I look at these things and I, um, I kind of think of it as Scott would think of it. | |
| What are they doing? | |
| What are the things that they're doing to get you enticed to sell? | |
| You know, like this fear thing, like if you don't buy it, then it'll be gone forever, even though like the next week you see them selling it again. | |
| So the fear, the visual. | |
| You do like a fast auction. | |
| So they're like, so there's two ways to do it. | |
| One is typically when I'm running something, it's going to go to the highest bidder. | |
| So, like if you swipe on the item, like there's a little button to swipe. | |
| The time will reset for like five seconds. | |
| So people have five more seconds to decide, like, oh, no, no, no, I want that. | |
| That's one way. | |
| The other way is called sudden death. | |
| So, like, maybe I set my timer. | |
| It could be 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds, but whoever the last person to swipe on it before the timer runs out gets it. | |
| So, that's the urgency the big sneaker sellers do. | |
| They'll be like, we're doing five seconds sudden death. | |
| And you're like, how can so many people swipe in five seconds? | |
| I swear to God, I've seen things go to $800 in five seconds. | |
| Like people are like, I got to get, I got to get, I got to get. | |
| And you have like 300 people all swiping on it. | |
| It's insanity. | |
| So that sudden death, a lot of people are like hyped, like when they're selling. | |
| And like some people are like, you know, sounding off horns and they've got bells and they've got, you know, and you're like, I'm in it, I'm in it. | |
| It's so crazy. | |
| Sudden death, man. | |
| That is, I like, I can win sudden death. | |

Naked Prank TikTok News
00:10:06
|
|
| I'm really good at it. | |
| We should do the, you know, I wish I could see, um, Like the news be done in that fashion. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| It would be so funny if there would be like somebody that would put on the news, but do it in the fashion that you see TikTok do it. | |
| So TikTok doesn't like, yeah, TikTok doesn't allow news because I had a friend that tried to do some news on TikTok. | |
| They got banned. | |
| He was never able to come back. | |
| And it's nothing that he said. | |
| It's just they don't let you. | |
| I mean, you could go into theories, China and all that. | |
| But imagine doing the news in that fashion. | |
| Like we should do that one day. | |
| We could do it. | |
| I could set it up. | |
| I'll be like, I'll have a time. | |
| We won't tell Owen. | |
| Owen will be like, all of a sudden, his frozen picture will come to life. | |
| It'll be like, what the hell is happening? | |

| They start the countdown. | |
| They start screaming like three, two, one. | |
| Everybody's going to. | |
| You guys will be in on the joke, except YouTube won't. | |
| So they'll complain. | |
| Oh, that would have been fun. | |
| We could have pranked Owen today, but he wasn't really on. | |
| Oh, it is April Fool's. | |
| Wait, can you guys back up for me? | |
| So who wears weird shirts? | |
| And somebody said, somebody in Rumble said somebody wears weird shirts. | |
| And was it Gutfeld? | |
| Baby mama dresses him funny. | |
| Yes, Mary Kay's April 1st. | |
| You guys, gut felt. | |
| His wife is very stylish. | |
| Like she is very fashion forward. | |
| She dresses like kind of like a modern contemporary fashion. | |
| And I am positive that she knows all the designers she's putting on Greg. | |
| She's pretty good. | |
| Yeah. | |
| When I met Greg, I don't know. | |
| We started talking and. | |
| And I asked him whether he does his own clothing, you know, because I thought maybe they provide you your outfit that you wear that day, Fox News. | |
| And he's like, No, I have you seen my sweaters? | |
| He said, Yes, they're mine. | |
| I know. | |
| I happen to like it because I know it's like his wife's influence, and they're both pretty artsy. | |
| And she's like very well traveled and very cool. | |
| Very cool. | |
| Very cool. | |
| No, he keeps his life pretty private. | |
| I'm glad for him. | |
| She's very tall. | |
| She's very thin and tall and very, like, almost like chiseled in a way. | |
| Like, she's like good features and stuff. | |
| She's pretty cool. | |
| She's a bit of a show persona. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Former model, current designer. | |
| Yes. | |
| Phil's a cool guy. | |
| He is very cool. | |
| He's very chill. | |
| He wears wrong colors for his skin tone. | |
| Well, he also has on makeup and wacky lighting. | |
| Somebody said Lara Trump. | |
| Oh, maybe that she's. | |
| Let me see. | |
| I have to look at her. | |
| Well, worked out. | |
| You guys, I have to go to work. | |
| I have to go to work too. | |
| Oh, Marcella, I put the picture of Trump on the wrecking ball today because. | |
| I thought we would get to the ballroom, our thumbnail for the show. | |
| Okay, maybe we'll talk about it for one second. | |
| I know. | |
| Well, maybe we could talk about it tomorrow. | |
| Yeah, the ballroom got blocked by a judge. | |
| Dude, enough. | |
| And he did a truth post about it and he insinuated, sort of, that hey, why are you not picking on this federal building that's being built? | |
| Being wasted as if you're allowing that waste to go on for the Federal Reserve building, but you are stopping this from being built even though the government's not paying for it or the taxpayer. | |
| So he hinted at maybe they just want to get their in on the fraud, you know, because some of these projects they take on a different, they bloom. | |
| Like huge amounts of money. | |
| And part of that is you allow your, what would you say, like your lobbyists to be in on those projects? | |
| Yeah. | |
| He had a huge, I can't read the entire tweet. | |
| It's like a Bill Ackman truth post because it's a very long post. | |
| But at the end, he says, the Trump Kennedy senator, what is he saying? | |
| My friend said that I mentioned. | |
| The left and the FBI today, which I did. | |
| I forget what I was leaning to. | |
| Maybe you guys remember when I said, What was it? | |
| I remember saying it, and he goes, But I think you coined a new term, the left BI. | |
| The left BI. | |
| I was like, That makes sense. | |
| Hi, FBI agents. | |
| They're watching. | |
| Hi, guys. | |
| Hi, CIA. | |
| Hello. | |
| They're like, We have to watch. | |
| Uh, thank you, Ann. | |
| Yeah, so how on its the left BI ahead of schedule and under budget. | |
| Well, that ballroom, I'm glad they're focused on the ballroom again. | |
| Oh, but um, he was asked, and the presser that you had a clip from that same presser where he did the executive order, yes. | |
| Um, he said that he's appealing the ruling that is blocking, obviously, that's blocking uh, the building the ballroom. | |
| So, yesterday there was an order from a ruling and an order from a judge that does not allow for the building of the ballroom to continue. | |
| Oh, Bob Lawler just sent me a clip because the other night I was saying that. | |
| Look at Punchy doing the heart. | |
| Aww. | |
| I mean, I know it's not really Punchy, but that's my animal voice. | |
| I can't help it. | |
| I'm like, ooh. | |
| There's Bob. | |
| Yes. | |
| So Bob sent me a track because the other night I said that I would love to see like a little. | |
| Not like a theme song, but like a little intro song for the show, like kind of when we're milling around in the beginning, like waiting to get going. | |
| So, anyone can try to make one for sure. | |
| I mean, not try to make one, anyone can make one and send it to me. | |
| And I was like, you know, we don't have to have one set song, but it would be fun to have like little music clips, even if you had like a little video, you want to make an AI video of something. | |
| So, Bob, I will check it out in private and then we'll, when we hang up the live stream. | |
| Yes, movie Bob SJV. | |
| So, Bob is forever movie Bob to SJB because when they met on locals one day. | |
| I'm going to work. | |
| Yep. | |
| Have a good day, Stacey. | |
| Stacey, look at you. | |
| You look adorable. | |
| You look really nice. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Is anybody going to play any April Fool's prank on their co workers or their family or their friends? | |
| I'm not because I'm not in the mood for anybody to prank me. | |
| Today is not the day to prank me. | |
| So I hope people can read the room. | |
| Oh, man. | |
| There goes my idea. | |
| To prank me? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh, girl, not today. | |
| Don't do it on the wrong day. | |
| Yeah, do it. | |
| That'll really be a prank. | |

| Just don't get arrested for your pranks. | |
| That's all you can say. | |
| Looking naked? | |
| I look naked. | |
| I don't like it. | |
| Now that they say that. | |
| I know. | |
| Wait, I'm trying to. | |
| For a minute there, you did. | |
| Trying to look more shirty. | |
| Let me see. | |
| Oh, there's a link. | |
| Drake, Diddy, Nikki. | |
| Oh, I don't even know. | |
| What's the link about, Mia? | |
| I know. | |
| We can't click links ourselves here. | |
| No, then it's just like we can't come back something. | |
| I can play the track in here, Bob. | |
| I'll listen to it first because I don't know if I can do it right. | |
| We want to give it the proper respect. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Oh, SJB says that Trump can do an April Fool's on Iran, especially Iran not knowing that it's April Fool's Day, right? | |
| He's like, I'm going to bomb you. | |
| JK. | |
| JK. | |
| I can picture the Gaitola like, Like, what is JK? | |
| You know, they must have like some dictionary or something. | |
| Trying to reach average people. | |

Joe Attic Barbie Dollhouse
00:06:58
|
|
| Let me see. | |
| Did I know? | |
| Did Beverly see the picture I put up? | |
| Was she in there? | |
| I saw that on her ex profile. | |
| She has quite the dollhouse collection, you guys. | |
| And a couple of years ago, we were talking about her dollhouse collection. | |
| And I was like, oh, my grandmother took a class with her friends a bazillion years ago and they made dollhouse furniture. | |
| It was so random. | |
| And it was so pretty and so sweet with fabric and this little wing back chair and a little butcher block and little knives and a. | |
| Little cleaver, all these little things, a little baby bassinet and a bench and some other stuff. | |
| And I said, I feel so guilty because I don't know what to do with it. | |
| And Beverly was like, You can send it to me and I'll put it in one of my dollhouses. | |
| And I was like bawling my eyes out. | |
| I'm like, Oh my God, it's going to like see its life's purpose. | |
| And so I sent it off to Beverly and she sent me pictures of it like in one of the dollhouses, like with a little family sitting on the furniture and like a little dog on the floor. | |
| And I'm like, Oh, I was so happy. | |
| So I hope she saw that I posted her picture today. | |
| You know, it's funny because as a little girl, I wouldn't play with dollhouses. | |
| I would play with the soldiers and with the transformers. | |
| And then I would combine them and I would attack the Barbies. | |
| But, anyways. | |
| So mean. | |
| So I would end up having her dollhouses and having soldiers in front of it or something like that. | |
| It'd just be fun. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I had Barbies. | |
| I love them. | |
| But Barbies I played with alone. | |
| My brother would never play with my Barbies with me. | |
| But I for sure like every Saturday and Sunday morning, we took like the Lincoln logs and we built forts and barriers and walls. | |
| And then he had like all these army people and we would take turns, like you pick first. | |
| And you know, that was good. | |
| We took turns picking, that was very organized. | |
| But you know, it was funny. | |
| There was only like a few of the army men that were like in a position, like one could like sit in the truck and one was like down with the gun. | |
| So my first three picks were always the ones that didn't belong to the set. | |
| They were three very tall presidents. | |
| And I always took the presidents first, and then he would always take the army men. | |
| I'm like laughing now, thinking about that. | |
| They couldn't do anything but stand there, but I was like, I like the big presidents. | |
| Does she, does Beverly sell the dollhouses? | |
| Is that something? | |
| No, she, okay, not yet, not yet. | |
| She couldn't have, I guess she didn't have one when she was a kid and always wanted one. | |
| So she has like a spare bedroom that has like, I'm just saying, like 10 dollhouses in it. | |
| And Each one's different. | |
| Like one's like mid century modern and one is more traditional. | |
| And so they all have their own vibe. | |
| It is very nice. | |
| Oh, cool. | |
| Very nice. | |
| She probably makes a lot of money selling them, but I'm always trying to be like, is that for sale? | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| She needs an army of men, though, to defend that home. | |
| Well, I had G.I. Joe to defend Barbie. | |
| And sometimes they would date. | |
| Like G.I. Joe would come over and take one of these. | |
| They would hang out in the Jeep. | |
| And they would go pick her up in the Jeep, and like they could go to her dream house. | |
| And yes, they would kiss, like, this is what kids did. | |
| And so they would kiss, and like they were so like burly and cool. | |
| And she was so like demure with her little hands and feet. | |
| All the guys are like, oh my God. | |
| Yep. | |
| Yep. | |
| But maybe this is why I liked a more burly man. | |
| I like G.I. Joe. | |
| He was a solid dude. | |
| There were two of them. | |
| One kind of had red hair. | |
| We need more G.I. Joe shows for kids. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He Man. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I remember. | |
| But G.I. Joe had like a felt head and all the lint would stick to his head all the time. | |
| So I was trying to get the lint off of his head. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| My brother always took my Barbie's heads off. | |
| I was like, oh my God. | |
| I don't want to say it, but I did too. | |
| My sister still hates me to this day because I took off. | |
| He'd like rip off their heads and like. | |
| I loved ripping off their heads. | |
| Yep. | |
| Ken was. | |
| I was only five, you guys. | |
| I did not know how to put it back. | |
| And you couldn't put it back. | |
| It was hard to put it back. | |
| It was hard to put it back. | |
| You had to like really. | |
| I was always in trouble. | |
| I was always in trouble as a kid. | |
| And then you put them in a bathtub and like you could squeeze their heads and like water would come out of their neck. | |
| They'd like fill up with water. | |
| No more Barney. | |
| Okay. | |
| That's what I was saying, Zanville. | |
| Their fuzzy heads and all the lint would stick to their heads. | |
| You'd bomb them with firecrackers. | |
| Oh, did anyone have the evil Kniebel with the string and he'd go on his motorcycle and jump a ramp? | |
| He was. | |
| I didn't have the money for that. | |
| My brother got him for like Christmas. | |
| Maybe we wrecked him because the house we lived in had a dumbwaiter, like an elevator that went from the Servants' quarters, that's how old the house was, down to the kitchen. | |
| So we're like, let's see if evil can jump into the dumbwaiter. | |
| So we opened the dumbwaiter door and set up the ramp. | |
| You had a dumbwaiter? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It went right into the dumbwaiter hole. | |
| And then we looked over the edge and there he was. | |
| And we could never get him again. | |
| Did you have a basement? | |
| We did also have a basement. | |
| Yeah. | |
| A giant basement and a massive attic. | |
| And if anyone heard my ghost story, you know about the attic. | |
| I used to love, you know, we were still in El Salvador, but we loved watching like American movies and seeing their houses and like the different areas, like in the East Coast, you know, where they have like basements and attics and all that. | |
| In El Salvador, you don't have that. | |
| The way the houses are built is very different. | |
| So we were always like, look, oh my God. | |
| And then it's like a dumbwaiter, this and that. | |
| It's like so cool for us to see it. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| I know. | |
| The, The basement, our basement in that house was really, really big. | |
| It had like a workshop and you could roller skate in the basement. | |
| We'd play ping pong in the basement and all that stuff. | |
| And the attic was massive and pretty empty. | |
| We didn't really put anything up. | |
| You're in Home Alone. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| It was. | |
| Well, that house was so pretty. | |
| Wasn't it so American? | |
| I think they put it up for sale, the real house, but it's nothing like the inside. | |
| Marcella, we should do a podcast together. | |
| We could go on forever. | |

|
|
| Oh my God. | |
| I know. | |
| All right. | |
| So, you guys, I do have to get to work. | |
| But I could stay on and chat with you all day if I didn't have to actually work. | |
| Let's see. | |
| So, all right. | |
| So, we'll wait for you guys to say goodbye so you know. | |
| And then, you know, we'll be back on tomorrow. | |
| And, um, smart, you're just the bomb over there. | |
| Are you back to recording? | |
| I shouldn't ask questions now when I'm saying goodbye. | |
| Everyone has to roller skate. | |
| Oh, my brother used to shoot the BB gun around me in the basement. | |
| He'd be like, stand here. | |
| And he'd put me in front of a piece of plywood. | |
| This is, of course, my parents were divorced. | |
| And because if my dad was around, that never would have happened. | |
| But he'd be like, I can shoot this gun around you. | |
| And I'd be like, really? | |
| And I'd stand there like a jackass. | |
| How old were you? | |
| I was probably 10. | |
| Okay. | |
| He was 13, shooting a gun around me. | |
| Have a wonderful day, you guys. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh, I'm so glad we did this, you guys. | |
| Make sure you watch the Artemis left off, hopefully. | |
| Yes. | |
| And Trump. | |
